-The colored sovereigns at Washington hare

-Last week the old Manhattan well of New
York, whose whereabouts had been forgotten
for many years, was rediscovered. Into that
well it was supposed that the body of a mur?
dered girl was thrown by her lover about sev?
enty years- ago. The man was defended by
Aaron Barr, Alexander Hamilton and Edward
P. Livingston, and was acquitted, though there
was an almost universal belief that ho was
guilty, bat left New York immediately and

.rLThO highest store root paid in Broadway,
N?yj York, ia that of E. S. Jaffray'a dry goods
store; corner of Leonard-street, which brings
$60,000. The highest hotel rent is that of the
Fifth Avenue, which rates at $100,000 per an?
num ; bat the most profitable of all edifices is
Trinity building. This is occupied by offices.
It?cost about $200,000, and rents for nearly
one-half that sum: Single offices bring from
. $1000 to $2000, and the coal trade is almost
entirely done there.
-The Montgomery Mail states that a num?
ber of immigrants from Switzerland and Baden
arrived at Decatur, Ala., a short time ago and
immediately received employment. The Mail
characterizes this as excellent news and ex?
cisais : "Would that the hills and mountains
ot North Alabama could be filled with the race
of William Tell I" The Executive Committee
of: the State Agricultural Association havo
taken steps to prepare for a State fair, which
may reflect honor opon the resources of Ala?
bama and upon tho industry of ber people.
Every encooiagemeat to immigration is to bc
given, and a line of emigrant steamships bo
tween Mobde and some German port is already
contemplated.
-A New York letter ol Monday says: "The
belligerent tone of Senator Chandler's speech
this morning on oar relations with England,
coupled with bis. serious treatment ft tho sug?
gestion ?at she should turn over Canada to
as as a final settlement of the Alabama claims,
creates some uneasiness among thoughtful
men, as tending to unnecessarily embarra1?
the negotiations about to be set on fcot by Mr.
Motley, and to make the controversy moro dif?
ficult to deal with than ever. The Wall-street
speculators managed to turn that speech to
account, in running up the premium on gold
and knocking down the prices of stocks. To
add to the excitement, bogus dispatches from
Washington have been frcdy exhibited m re?
lation to our critical relations with Spain on
the Cuban question. As soon as theso Mun
chausenisms have dono their appointed work
in depressing values two or three per cent.,
?everything will be serene again, and our for?
eign relations will be pronounced all right."
-The Marshall, Texas, Republican, of the
9th inst., gives the particulars of an affair in
Bask County that forms a climax of horrors.
The circumstances aro as follows: "A young
man by the nome of Colonel Green, who is said
tb have been a new settler in the county, left
Henderson, on Saturday evening last, in a state
o? intoxication, for home. When be got about
seven miles from town, on the Marshall road,
lie stoppedat tho Widow Griffin place, wheio a
body of negroes were making a crop, and order?
ed his supper. Whilo ho was eating it he was
seized by five negroes, who tied bia hands lt
hind him, and dragged him about half a mil
aud hung him. They trcatod him very bruta
ly, throwing him over Ihe fences as they read
ed them, bruising his face and otherwise tua
treating hiLi. While he was barging they rollo
back a log, dug a trench, threw him in it b -for
life was extinct, tnd then rolled tbc log bac
to its for uer place. Two of thc negroes wer
preachers. The principal one engaged in th
murder ( Julius Jonos) stood by with a gue
dirocting the others, and tolling them lie woulc
kill the first one that flinched. Thc Ba.uc ne
gro went the next day to Henderson, preachci
a sermon, and baptized fourteen negroes
Green is represented as a refinod, intelligent
accomplished gentleman, but who occasion
ally, unfortunately, got intoxicated. Hi
friends, missing him, it seems found his hors<
at this plantation, and his hat at one of th
cabins. On searching for him, they traced hi
footsteps upon the route he had boon carried
and found a letter that had bsen dropped ou
of his pocket. Five negroes were arrested
who confessed the crime, and were taken b
Henderson and placed in jail. This was 01
Monday. 01 Tuesday night, about ll o'clock
a mob went to the jail, and hung every one o
them on the public square fronting each sidi
of the courthouse, the two preachers together.

Thc Ma jr Elections.
Until the general elections which takt
jplace in Ootober, 1870, there can be nt
thorough change in the political and phys
ical complexion of the General Assemblj
of the State. Elections will, however, b<
held from time to time to fill vacanciet
caused by the death or resignation of mem?
bers, which will give an opportunity of in?
creasing, in some degree, the white strength
of the Lower House. There are, besides,
many county and to wnship offices to be filled,
and so important is it to obtain as rapidly as
possible the control of our local affairs,
that the most earnest efforts should bc
made to elect in every instance a known
and responsible citizen. The county aud
township officers are brought into immedi?
ate contact with the people. They have
great power in encouraging good feeling or
promoting dissension. It rests with them,
in a great degree, to determine what shall
be the county taxation. ' And apart from
the intrinsic valuo of the office, and apart
from the influenoe which it may, exert upon
the publio mind, we hold it to be of thc
greatest consequents to show at once that
we do intend that the State shall not al?
ways be governed by ignorance and vice.
This cannot better be done than by electing
good men to every office for which aa elec?
tion may be held, and ^his must be done
without regard to the apparent importance
of the office. - Small victories will keep our
people together. They will encourage them
to be hopeful and confident, aud, in this
way, will have a moral power, a bracing
foroe, out of all proportion to the intrinsic
value of the offices themselves. A begin?
ning s'aoulJ be made at once, and the occa?
sion presents itself in the elections ordered
to be held on the 25th May.
On that day two county commissioners
and a corbaer' wll? be el?of?d In" Abbeville
and in Georgetown; a county commissioner
and a school commissioner iu Barnwell; a
judge of the probate oourt, a coroner and
a county commissioner in Fairfield; a school
commissioner and a coroner in Anderson,
in Laurens, in Orangeburg and in Richland;
a coroner in Chester, in Chesterfield, in
Edgefield, in Oconec, in Eickens, in Sum?
ter and in Union; a probate judge and a
coroner iu Collet on; a clerk of the ' pourt
aud a coroner iu Darlington; a county com?
missioner and a coroner in Kershaw, in
Lexington and in York, and a county com?
missioner in Korry.
Every one of these offices is important, and
none more so than that.of judge of the probate
oourt and county commissioner* The county
commissioners have jurisdiction over roads,
highways, ferries, bridges, "aud in all mat?
hers relating to taxes and disbursements
?of money for county purposes, and in
"every other case that may be necessary to
"the internal improvement and local con
"oerns in their respective counties.'' They
raise money, they apportion taxes, and
have the power to levy a tax of three mills
on the dollar, which would represent a
total oounty taxation of over half a million
of dollars. . Their authority has apparently
very little limit other than their own dis?
cretion; and it surely is a duty which we
owe to ourselves as business men, as men
who desire that the State should prosper,
as men who wish that the freedmen may
have full work at fair wages, that we should
open this commercial campaign without a
moment's delay, and strive as hard to elect
the county commissioners, probate judges,
coroners, and others, as, though we were
again on the eve of a Presidential election.
We do not regard the election of these
officers aB a party question; but as long as
ninety-nine oue-hundredths of thc respec?
table white men of the State are Democrats,
we must expect it to be Baid that what we
want is not a responsible candidate, but a
Democratic victory. This we cannot help.
Taking it for granted that wc will only vote
for men, who know what their official duties
are, and who have sense euough to dis?
charge them properly, where can we go
outside of the Democratic party ? This
may be an embarrassing conclusion to come
to; but it is the truth, nevertheless, and it
may be said further, that if we were willing
to arrange a mixed ticket the Radicals would
foroe the direct question by nominating a
straight party ticket.
These matters of detail may, however,
be Bafely left in charge of the citizens of
the different counties. All that we desire
at this moment is to impress upon them the
necessity of obtaining possession as rap?
idly as possible of every elective office in
the State. Hitherto the Radicals have had
things pretty much their own way. What
they win now they must win, by hard fight?
ing, and not by the supineness of our peo?
ple. Every county will, we trust, begin
the work at once, if they labor quietly
and steadily, there will be a tale to tell on
the 26th of May which will encourage the
whole State, and teach the Radical party
that the revenues and wealth of South Car?
olina will not for long be controlled by the
native-born adventurer or the scheming
foreign knave.
Corn and Cotton in Georgia.
We see it stated iu the Columbus and
Macon papers that the crop in Georgia thia
year is about equally divided between corn
and cotton. Should the seasons bc favora?
ble, corn will be lower than it has been for
ten years. It is generally manured and
the stand was never better. At present, it
is too early to say much about cotton. The
Macon Journal says emphatically : "There
"will not be any more land in cotton in
"South Western Georgia this year than
"there was last."
It is not yet too late to plant corn in
South Carolina. Half corn and half cotton
should be our motto. We do not wish to be
prophets of evil ; but we know that, unless
we make breadstuffs enough to relieve us
from the necessity of buying them in the
North and WeBt, the cotton crop of 1869
1870 will do the State at large, the planters
and the farmers, but little lasting good.
The money received for the cotton will be
paid away for corn, and so will end the
chapter.
Fertilizers and General Freights.
The following tables show the quantity
of fertilizers and of freight of all kinds
shipped over the South Carolina Railroad
in the three months ending March 31, 1860.

The Grain Trade of thc West.
The simultaneous movements at St. Louis
and New Orleans, of which we have had tele?
graphic accounts, in connection with thc grain
trade, are nothing less than an effort to divert
the grain expoits of the Northwest from tbo
routo via Chicago, Buffalo and Now York to
Europo, and make tho Mississippi River tho
great channel for this trade. The movement
seems to have started in St. Louis, whieh is
? 9
anciousto become tho great grain em pon um
of t.ie Mississippi Talley. Meetings havo been
held, glowing speeches m ide, and considerable
money subscribed for the promotion of that
object. Thc Missouri Democrat publishes in
prominent type a list of thc subscribers under
tho caption, "The Roll of Honor." A meelina:
was held at thc Merchants' Exchange on thc
13th, at which additional subscriptions to thc
St. Louis Grain Association were taken up,
and speeches were delivered which illustrate
the prevalent loeling of those engaged in the
movement. It was declared that they want to
oxport grain to Europe, and th.it Iowa, Minne?
sota, Southern Illinois and Wisconein were
tired of being swindled by Chicago speculators,
railroad combinations, New York middle-men,
&c. They were begging to trado_ with St. Louis,
aud wherever they sell they will buy. It wa3
urgod, therefore, that moro capital bc put into
tho business. Mr. Standard said that grain
oxn bo TancTfd-tn-fifvovJpWI WS^SIieoui* BOBtQ
cheaper via St. Louis and New Orleans than
through New York ; to-day it costs fifteen and
sixteen cents on the Erie Canal alone, and it is
less than that from St. Louis to New Orleans.
At the meeting at New Orleans, on thc 17th, of
the Chamber ol Commerce, "the special com?
mittee reported it favor of organizing a grain
association, with a capital of $200,000, the
directors and officers to bo elected as soon as
$50,000 is subscribed." Ten thousand dollars,
we ore told, was subscribed on the spot towards
carrying out this project. It is evident that
tho movement is au comest one all along the
Mississippi. St. Louis already bas grain ele?
vators on both sides of the river, and if thc
present project is camed out, the rail roa ls
coming into St. Louis will bc run so close to
the river that cars can be unloaded at onco
upon steamboats and barges.
