THE DAILY SUN SATURDAY M'iKNLNO JeLY 22. What an Illinois Man (Says. The following is but one of many similar letters that are reaching us by almost every mail: , 111., July H, 1871. Hon. A. H. Si THUS, Atlanta, Go.— Dear Sir: I soe from the papers that yon are editor of the “ Atlanta 8n»," anil understand you aro not willing to form u political partnership with tho mongrel party, or in other words, take the "Mew Departure.” If so, send mo a specimen paper, that I may get your rates of sub senpdon. 1 will take the liberty to say the moss of the Democracy here are not willing to oooept tho situation, but tho ]nlitieians for the most part are. Tours, veiy respectfully, — The “Terrible State of Affairs South.” The Washington corresjiomlcnt of the Louisville Courier-Journal, in his letter of the 17th, says: Besides the real testimony given be fore Ku Klux Committee, there is a good deal of documentary ex parte evidence in the shape of letters that have come up from tho Boutb addressed to iliflerent members allowing tho terrible condition in which the Staton have been plundered by the rule of Radicals, carpct-baggcm and scalawags. The information from Mississippi, especially, presents an ap palling picture of oppressive taxation, and no prospect of relief except by reme dial legislation. Thousands of tho best citizens of tho State aro doomed to wit ness the soorifloo of wlmt little property they have aaved since tho war, all be- oaiisu the lost Legislature did not repre sent tho boua-fldo tax payers of the State but was controlled by a ring of corrup tionists and oxtortioners. This perhaps is notjexactly the sort of testimony tile majority of theKukliix Committee want, but it has its effect in showing tho aetusl condition of portions of tho South, eud how the people are governed down there. The only wonder soems to ho that thov forboar so well With such a deplorable state of af fairs sot before them upon such relia ble testimony, it is singular that the law-abiding justice-loving, freodom- propagating, conscientious Radicals do not at once commence tho work of reconstructing tho South. There seems to he no doubt that affairs are in a woful condition and that the people need protection from their rulers. Now is a good time to begin, just when such an array of sworn testimony is ut hand to substantiate t lie exigencies of the situation. Muir*. Blodgett and Gnskill, [The following article lias been handed to us with a request that it be republished in our columns. We comply, without in any way becom ing purties to tho criminal prosecu tion now pending, or oven expressing any opinion upon tho merits of that case, or in any way committing our selves to the extravagance of the lau- gungc used against any parties before conviction. Tho article is from a Radical pn]>or in this State—whothcr editorial or not we do not know; but when a leading organ of a party thus pub lishes such matter against prominent men in its own ranks, it shows very clearly that there must be something “rotten in Denmark,” somewhere.— Wo refer the whole matter to the Courts, and a Democratic Legislature to ferret out—Editors Sun.] From tlio Georgia Republican. The State Hoad llobhcra. Little by littlo tho stupendous frinuls practiced upon the people of Georgia by Foster Blodgett, anu tho ring lately asso ciated with him in the management of the State Road, aro coming to light In genious os tho robbers were in hiding the evidences of their guilt, they failed to ac complish offeotually the work of conceal ment Whon tho Grand Jury of Fulton oounty lately found a truo bill nguinst Blodgott ana Gaskill for embezzling over eight thousand dollars in tho settlement of Mr. Dobbins' claim, it was unfortu nate for tho pcaco of this braco of wor thies), that Gaskill happened to bo absent from the State. Emboldened by the immunity from punishment whieti had hitherto attended a long nnil seemingly huoocssful course of falsehood ami pecu lation, Blodgett riuhod iucontently into print without conferring with hie con federate. What must have boon tho wrath of the sanctimonious Varney wheu he rood tho .letter ? Tho statements of tho two respecting tho details of tho trans action are irreconcilably at variance, showing that robbery is not tho only art which lias been cultivated by mombers of tbo ring. Thieves must lie, and per jury in that quarter is no uow thing. the terminology of crime ueoils a new name to characterize properly the infamy of these men. Tho highway robber or tho midnight burglar is a hero in com parison ; tor ho violates none of the sa cred oonlldonoe of society, but taking Ilia life in his hands and bidding defiance to Fate, wages bold warfare against his fellows. Even the blood-Btained soul ofteu retains a sense of honor and a re gard for truth. But where individuals become so depraved as to pervert posi- tious of trust into machinos for plunder, every semblance of virtue falls irretaieva- bly in the general croah of character. As the rooks which protrude however faintly above tho eurfuce of the eertli in dicate tho nature of the geological for mations which extend in vast masses be low, bo the disclosures made to tho Grand Jury rospootiug a single transaction, point to a multitude of similar frauds now thinly covered by false entries on tile books of tho road. It is well under stood that at least a million of dollars was stolon or squandered. Tho settle ment with Mr. Dobbins explains tho whereabonts of 88,518 06. Wo do not wonder that Blodgett begins at last to tremble. Ho long hod be trick ed Justice of her dues, that ho loomed to mock hor warnings. Mow, however, her coils visibly tighten around him, while the door of the prison swings slow ly open to admit him. The wretch who ouoa nothing for the virtuous scorn of his follow-citizens, and who long 8inco bid to conscience and its stings an eter nal farewell, is too for lost to suffer from the ordinary methods of punishment.— But when he feels the gyves upon his wrists, and grated windowa'ehnt him out from the pnblio whom he lias wronged and tobbod, be will have leisure to pon der upon the mistakes of a life-time.— And may 0«d have mercy upon his soul.

London, July 21.—A Conference of all European powers is reported shortly to be held for tho purposo of agreeing upon a system of uniform import duties. Emperor Napoleon paid a visit yestcr- day to Woolwich Arsenal and dock-vnrd. The Times says the act of tho Minis try in abolishing tho system of purchas ing army commissions by Royal warrant, is a violent wrench of tlio Ceonstitntion and setting aside of tho will of the House of Lords. Tho Times regrets Unit tliis grave issue has been raised, but expresses a hopo that the Lords will, in their future action, think of its effect upon officers of the army, rather than in dignity to their own privileges. The Daily 'News approves tho conduct of tho Government in making thcmsolvea ex F ress the popu!arwi!l,and recommends the lords to pass a bill abolishing the pur chase of commissions. Tho Telegraph is exulant over tho action of tho Minis try, and says Gladstone will be more popular for vindicating tbo dignity of tbo llunso of Commons, in securing tlio re sults of its session, and for reorganizing difference, of tho country, nnd guarding the interests of tho army.

Henry Ward Beecher, in Christian Union, this week, says: Tho Orangemen should parade next year without a ban ner less or one inscription robbed out.— They -should not give an implied promise that if protected for once they will then do it it no more. Thoy ought to move through the streets of Now York until nobody thinks of molesting them. When that time arrives it will be a mat ter of no pnblio importance whether the annual procession is kept np or not; bat so long as the dog wags Lis tongue against an Orangeman’s procession, or a bewil dered Magistrate forgets his dnty toward thorn, the public good requires their con tinuance. If the Orangemen of New York fail nextyeor to march through tlio streets of the city, they will be a sacred doty.

It is deemed duo to my self as well as my personal friends, to state unequivocally and without delay, tho story in the whole and in all its es sential parts is unmistakably the instiga tion of malice, and I hereby prononnee it utterly falso.” [Signed] Jefferson Davis. Pettigni King Bowen. A Washington correspondent writes: As for Mrs. Bowen, her case excites the deepest interest aud sympathy here. She is devotedly attached to her numerous husband, and declares that she will stick to him. She be lieves that her marriage was legal and that it it was formed in good faith by both her husband and herself. It is said they are now living together, oc cupying a house here owned by her self." Bowen’s friends assert that he will at once take steps to procure a legal divorce, to which lie is entitled, while persons who are not particular ly friendly say he will do nothing of the kind—that he is not entitled to a divorce—that no court would dare to grant it now, and that he dare not apply for it; hut that he and Mrs. I’ettigru King will continue to live together, leaving the world to say and think as it please, thus leaving it in the hands of the other two Mistresses Bowen to obtain divorces on the ground of adultery, if they see fit. Tho gentleman, who lives in Charles ton, above alluded to, says that Mrs. Bowen was celebrated for her wit and sarcasm in Charleston, and he related many instances of her brilliancy in conversation and in society. She was at one time reganled as the most bril liant and fascinating woman in tho State, and owing to her father’s posi tion, her society was greatly sought by distinguished strangers. She was, in fact, in her prime (perhaps after she was married to her first husband), the sort of woman that was always liopular among gentlemen, but looked upon with suspicion (born of envy you may be sure) by the ladies. She reigned supreme in every assembly, party or rout, and the prim, modest- going ladies called her fast. AN ANECDOTE. When Thackery visited Charleston many years ago, at a party given in his honor, he was presented to Mrs. King. In his blunt English manner ho greeted her: “ My dear madame, I am very glad to sec you. I have heard much of you. I hear you are very witty, but very fast.” With a light laugh aud a square look into his eyes, she answered quick ly: “Oh, but Mr. ThnckciT, we must not believe everything wc near. Now, 7 have heard t/oa were n gentleman.” It is doubtful if this rencounter ever took place between the parties named, but it will pass just the same. Make Plenty of Turnlpa* See Captain Mark W. Johnson's adver tisement this morning. Big Railroad Operation. A special dispatch to the Nashvillt- Bunner of the 20th, (the dispatch is not dated from any point) says: The Committee from theJBoard of Directors of the Memphis, Clarks ville anil Louisville Railroad returned to-day from Louisville. Negotiations with tlie Louisville and Nashvilie Railroad have been closed, by the terms of which it purchases the Mem phis, Clarksville and Louisville Rail road, agreeing to pay the price fixed by the compromise decree in favor of the State—11,700,000—and paying the county of Montgomery und city of Clarksville 8000,000 in Tennessee State bonds for their stock in the road. The Savannah Custom House Defalcation. The Washington correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal writes ou the I7th as follows: Collector Robb, of Savannah, is now attempting to shove the respon sibility of the late defalcation in his Custom House from his own should ers to those of an cx-collector, one James Johnson. Robb informs the Treasury Department that the loss occurred then, and intimates that it was so well covered up that its dis covery was made impossible until now. The Treasury officials think this a very strange story.
