cab oe uo ooupb OA tuS circumstance, as the
gentleman who took the moth was perfectly
familiar Herewith and could not have been
mistaken. This being the case, there is
ground to hope that our unusually cold winter
will destroy, to great degree, the cotton in
sects.
Let me Also state that the prevalence Of
these insects in one season seems to have nos
thing to do with their prevalence In another.
They made their appearance earlier in 1846
than evar before or since, and the crops we're
utterly eaten, and weeks earlier than they were
in the season just past. But the crop Of 1896
was mucn earlier in It's growth than those Of
1867 or 1858, and the season by no means 40
wet. The crop was, therefore, tar better than
the crops Of 1857 and 1863.

"The President, however, was very de-
cided about the matter, and insisted that
Johnston should be induced Immediately
to surrender by granting him most libc-
raj terms. Grant, too, was anxious that
Johnston should not try to get into Rich
mond, where he might give US q great
deal of trouble; and Sherman was CON-
PEELED to yield, though hc did it very un-
willingly. The terms Of captul lation
which afterwards made such disturbance
were, in fact, substantially arranged by
Mr.. Lincoln himself, and if he had lived
he never would have allowed Sherman TO
bear the responsibility of them"
This narrative is conclusive. Mr.. Lin
coin, it is now clear, virtually dictated
the terms to Johnston, just as he did the
terms to Lee; and had it not been for his
kindness of heart, VIC have no doubt that
Grant would have cxacted unconditional
surrender" in the one case, and Sherman
have been equally peremptory in the 9th
er. Had the President not been assassi-
mated before Johnston's capitulation, it is
probable that the celebrated memorandum
would have been acceptable to Il majority
of the Northern people. 1t is certain, at
all events, that Sherman woald not have
been to blame for it. The patience with
which he has borne undeservcd obloquy
so long will be appreciated by his coun-
trymen, and they will not fail to honor
tho elevated sentiment through which,
when single word would have vindica-
ted him, he refrained from speaking it.

JURISDICTION CT MAG1srRATEs.-In the
Court of General Sessions. the question as
to the jurisdiction of Magistrates in crmi-I
nal cases came up before Judge Carpen-,
ter, on the return, yesterday, to rule to
show cause why certain persons were do
tained in custody. The Judge decided
that no power vested in Magistrates to
hear and determine charges against per-.
sons accused and to commit TO Jail upon,
such trial That the authority vested in
them under the recent Acts of the Legis:.
laturc, was confined to the hearing ofthe''
cause and the commitment of the accused
to jail upon sufficient evidence, to stand
trial at the approaching term of the Court
of General Sessions. Several prisoners,
therefore, sentenced to Jail by Magistrates,
were ordered to be released.-Charleston

STRENGTH OF MErALs.-In the course Of
various mechanical and manufacturing
OPERATIONS, it has been found necessary to-
test the strength of various metals, and
froth one of the statements of the trials
made we compile the following: A bar Of
cast lead, one inch square, breaks uneers
strain of $50 pounds; bar of cast silver
will not break until the strain reaches
45,5OO pounds; bar of cast iron will re-
main in tact until the strain exceeds 59.:,
900 pounds; the best wrought iron will
bear weight of $4,000 pounds to bar
an inch square; and similar bar OF steel
has been made of such tenacity as to lift 3
weight of 10000 pounds before break.

ways possesses greater tenacity than eth; i,

In some important particulars we bee

fuss in advance. Nor will Grant get into,
an unnecessary fight with Congress upon
the question of Southern reconstruction.
Unconditional negro suffrage is what the
white population of the South are appre-.
hending. General Grant may not BIO
called upon either to oppose or approve
it. 1t may be taken out of his hands al
together. There is ample reason TO doubt
whether the proposed amendment to the
Constitution called the fifteenth article,

q Word 10 S0BseRtBEBs.~ We
seldom have occasion to say word
to the subscribers of the JOURNAL
relative to paying for their papers. A
few. however, do not seem to under
stand perfectly the relation of the
carriers to the Journal Office. Every
carrier is required to pay every Satur-
day for every paper distributed by
him during the week. whether he re
ceives pay for it or not. Few of our
carriers are forebanded enough to
carry over any considerable number
of delinquent subscribers from one
week to another. Pay the boys
promptly every Saturday, and they
will be encouraged to be prompt in
the. delivery Of the paper. 1t is a
small matter to each subscriber, but
in the aggregate. seriously embarrasses
the carriers sometimes.

FIRE AT TRINITY CaURCH.-About
IL o'clock yesterday morning an alarm
Of fire was sounded, caused by the
floor of the Trinity NJ. Z. Church
catching fire from the furnace that had
been overheated. The fire blazed up
through the register" in the front
part Of the church near the pulpit,
and great excitement ensued. The
Rev. Mr.. Andrus caused the congre-
CATION to sit still until the danger
could be ascertained, and when it was
discovered that the floor was on fire
underneath he dismissed the eongre-
cation, which retired in an orderly
manner. The engines were out, and on
hand, but their services were not
needed, as the fire had been quenched
by the application of several buckets
Of water. 1t was a narrow escape
for the Church, and If it had occurred
in the night it would have been en-
tirely destroyed The excitement
caused the congregations of several
other churches to be dismissed.
