pictures had been proved to be overdrawn, in
most cases, and in some entirely false. He
thought the state courts were sufficient to re-
strain laweSsness, if the governor would cease his
Wholesale pardoningS. The rights of the negro
were safer in the hands of upright, intelligent
white Jurors than in those of negro jurors, in
thelpresent condition of that race.
Edward G. Anderson, ex-mayor of Savannah,
was also examined. He said the condition of
Georgia was aw-abiding and peaceful, and

son of average length, 100000 bales; with
early frost and very untayOrable season for
picking, 100000 bales; the prevalence of in
sects, with other unpropitious circumstances,
would probably reduce the crop to $500 900
bales, and steady improvement of the plat for
sixty days, with the longest and most favorable
picking season, might carry the aggregate up
to 100000 bales.
