Advocate-General Holt publishes
statement defending himself from the
charges that lie, when presenting the
record OF the trial of Mrs. Surrstt to
President Johnson, withheld from BIN
a petition signed by five members OF the
Court, recommending, in consideration
of her age and sex, com mutation OF
her death sentence TO imprisonmert Tor
life in the penitentiary. The communl~
cation embraces a letter from Juoge
Holt to Secretary Belknap, denying IN
to the assertions referred to, and Otter~
ing as proofs letters from Judge Bing-
ham, ex-AttOrney- General Speed, James
Harlin, the Rev. DIR. Butler, pastor OF
st. Paul's Church, and many others, all
of which are to the effect that the record
of the trial and the petition in favor of
Mrs. Surratt were in the Presidents Of
fee before the execution of the conspi-
ratOrs.
Judge Binham's letter OF Feb. II, 1873,
says that having drawn the petition on
behalf of Mrs. Surratt, and having after
her execution heard the rumor that it
had been withheld from the President,
he called on the Secretaries of State and
War, Messrs. Seward and Stanton, and
was assured by them both that the petit
ton had been before the President and
bad been duly considered by him and
advisers before the death sentence upon
Mrs. Surratt had been approved, and
that the President and the Cabinet, OPP
on such consideration, were unit in
denying the prayer OF the petition.

THE Moore County CTcnn.) Pho

inst, about two hundred citizens as
scmbled at Esq. GILLEsPIE's on Far

between a white man named RAY
and several negroes. The trial had
hardly commenced before loud and
bcisteroUs swearing was freely en-
gagged in by outsiders aud against
the negroes. The sheriff, seeing Il
riot imminent tried to qucll the dis

him, and in short while several
bloody heads could be seen. The

dispersed by the negroes fleeing to

The mob cursed the lawyers engaged
in She suit, for prosecuting q case
wherein a negro was defendant, and
accused them of being in colleague
with them. The grea est cNcjtemcn,

Free Newspaper Exchanges.


The resolutions of the Georgia press
association on the subject of free ex-
changes between newspaper offices.
even if sOmew hat verbose, are point
ed with truth. Society not only needs
newspapers, but it wants the best
tha can be produced. These can
can only be kept up by editors hav-
ing a wi lie range for the accumula-
ton of news. To cut that off is to
strike them in a vital part. From
the beginning of the government up
10 the present year, the necessity OF
free eXch 4nges was always reCOgniZ
ed. 1t cost nothing extra, or so lit
tie as to be uufelt. The policy was
to give papers the greatest possible
facilities for enlarged usefulness and
among the craft there was ever a
great aud pervading generosity on
the subject.
No matter what congressman think
or organs plead, the effect of paying
postage on exchanges is to shorten
lists 10 the lowest possible compass,
and lax the means of popular infOr-
nation. What is it but mOcke ry to
tell a struggling editor that if he can
not pay several dollars extra weekly
for postage, be had better shut up
shop? The Country editor" who is
now sneered at, has difficulties on his
hands unknown to the city. Poverty
is one of them. Instead of being
dead beats, as represented, their anX-
iety is to serve Lhe public. 1t is an
honorable occupation, and laudable
ambition. They have enjoyed the
protection of free circulation in their
counties. Are they not as much en-
titled to it as the capitalist in his fac
tory? If the law will exclude the
competition of city papers, as it does
foreign goods, they will make no
complaint about postage. AS it is
the change operates as premium
TO great establishments to break
down and destroy one Of the most
intelligent {, d IL eful classes in the
country, and to deprive society of the
means of local information.

having been forfeited. II, however, any
one desires to leave the society, he is

provements erected by him. No new

cared for by the society, ifunable to care

leok after such cases and report their
wants to the society at its weekly meet

it. All disputes arising between the
members are brought before the society,
certain of the officers being designated
to hear and endeavOr to amicably ar
range all discussions, and it is very sell

Columbus (Ga.) Sun September 3rd:
capt. G. A. Redd is home from tour
through Russell, Macon, Bullock and
pike counties, Ala, and, while he reports
corn crops generally good, his idea of the
cotton prospect is a most gloomy one.
In some parts of Russell, Macon and
Pike the cotton is only damaged by cat
erpillar and boil worm, while Bullock
county, especially on the bottom lands.
will loose nearly her entire crop. Pike
county has about the best general out
look for a medium crop of any of these
counties. The cry is becoming too gan
eral now to be unheeded, that the cot
ton crop is doomed to an almost total de-
struction this year"
