NEW YORK, November IA let
ter from Macon, Ga, says the evil
dences of returning prosperity in the
south are especially noticeable. Al
though the cotton crop is much less
than the planters expected, and prices
much lower than they hoped, yet the
country is generally prosperous. Dur
ing the past week a large proportion
ofthe notes Of planters in this part of
the State to their merchants and fac-
tors fell due, and not one has been
protested-every S.ie was paid in full
at maturity. The laborers are con-
tented, and, Notwithstanding the re-
cent Labor Convention, are contract
ing largely to work another year with
the same employers. The laborers
who made these engagements were
well and fairly treated and Literally
compensated. The country is perfect
ly tranquil. There are remarkably
few cases of crime, and none of an
aggravated character. Politics are
neither spoken or thought Of The
fair price of cotton. fertilizers and the
next crop are the all-engrossing sub
jects for thought and discussion. - 9

tiALRAxy. Nov. fG.-Gov. Hoffman
last night in the course of his speech,
ID resi- ponse TO y serenade by the Jack
sOnians, said:
a notice that most of the Radical
papers in Albany and New York, are
asking what will they do with it?
that is, with the victory. lam hardly
disposed to tell them just yet; | pre-
fer TO give them little time to digest
the returns, and when these are fully
digested we propose to give them some
information as to what We viii do
with it.
- In my observations l have found
that knowledge suddenly acquired Is
never very profitable; but ! will tell
them, in general terms, one or two
things. We propose TO make the
Legislature OF the State of New York
honest, and that is what they have
not done in some time. We propose
TO use the Legislature for the purpose
of promoting the interests OF the
masses OF the people, and not the in
terests 0f thefew, which the Radicals
have not done in long time.
"rhe EreniRgJO Journal has stated that
for many years there have been but a
few men in the Republican Legisla-
fure who could be bought. We will
show them that in a Democratic Leg
islature there Will be none Of that
kind. We propose TO give 70 the peO-
pie Of the State Of New York all over,
the right OF self-gOvernment. We
propose 20 abolish such laws as in
fringe on the rights of localities, and
secure 10 them the right to govern
themselves. We will not abolish
such laws and give the people some
thing worse, but will give better laws.
We propose to make the State of New
York, and the government in all its
branches, thoroughly Democratic. 1

AMODERN HERODIAs.
A ehOul---H0W a Murderer was
Tortured.

Intense indignation is manifested
throughout the State at the conduct o.
d District Attorney in ROckl8nd coun-
ty. He has pr0stitUted the sacred
name OF justice and ere 3ted a feeling
of adherence among all men by .
fiendish act. In the condemned eel
of the new city jail, in ROckland
county, y. y, young man Wearily
rocks backward and forward in a rick.
city chair waiting his execution fol
murder. His name is Antoine Mau.
rer, an Alsatian, convicted of the
murder of Joachim FuerteT, and he
will be hanged on the 9Th Of Decem-
ber. The murder was brutal one,
and created great excitement through
the country. From its nature it became
known a. the Spring Valley mys-
terry. A large reward was offered and
detective officers succeeded in arrest
ing Mdurer IN Brooklyn. He was
tried, convicted and sentenced TO be
hung. The man never confessed his
gailE up. the termination Of the trial
has not done so properly since. The
District-AttOrney ". c. Pratt, q Rad
ical. appointed by Gov. FentOn 10 fill
a vacancy, bethought him of a scheme
so diabOlical, so unearthly, 80 ghOul-
like in its tiendish conception, that its
very mention fills the heart of every
sensitive person with disgust and alb
ilorrence. He conceived the idea OF
forcing a confession from the unfOrtu-
nate prisoner by placing before him
suddenly the head Of the murdered
man, Ekieh scheme was put in prac-
Iice. One day Maurer asked leave 10
was mis- hands somewhere, as there
was no water in his cell. lie was told
20 20 to the adjoining cell, where there
was a bucket He entered the cell,
watched by the Radical District At
torney, and bent down TO dip his
hands into the pail. Maurer gave
a shrek of fear. There, floating
on the surface Of the water. was the
head-the contracted face looking into
his; the CLASSY eyes glaring at him as
ifyet IN the agony Of death; the WaXen
lips curled as if in pain, and the white,
cleaning teeth clenched together. He
started back in surprise, in fear, in
madness, and rushed from that char
nel house of death. Again and again
the 81 me ordeal was gone through,
until the unhappy nan made two or
three confessions, IN which insanity IS
clearly discernible. In his sleepless
nights the ghastly head came before
him in his lonely cell; IL haunted him
fn his dreams and appalled, his senses,
until his brain racked with terror, and
he iesped from his bed stark, staring
mad. This Is no fancy picture. II IS
stern reality, and the work Of District
Attorney Pratt, the HerOdias Of to-
osy, who watches the effect the exhi-
bit.Cn ola dead mans hesId will have
on a human being, in order 10 satisfy
his own morbid curiosity, has, by his
action ia this case, RAISED a feeling OF
disgust, wonder and indignation
among the citizens Of ROckland cOun-
Iy which years will fail to remove.

Atlantic and Great Western Railroad,

by telegraph, via Salamanca, with
Jim Fisk, of the Erie Railroad, with
whom he seems TO be on good terms.

he has deserted Gould for MeHenry,
Is the question.
Further interest was excited this
evening by the arrival of GOuld's at

that the defense will attempt to show
that the Atlantic and Great Western
