The Journal of Commerce, it sc* ids -following (he not very enviable ex ample of the Xew York lleruhi, Tri bune, and other ltadical sheets, lmf engaged in the Biisiuoss of sending out Bohemian correspondents for the purpose of manufacturing public sen timent for the North, touching the condition of things in the South, by “interviewing” the leading public men in this section, and giving such distorted accounts thereof os may suit their purposes. In a late issue of that paper we see that one of these traveling “inter viewers” met with rathor a hard case at Covington, in the person of our friend Judge l’urmedus Reynolds, who is well known throughout Geor gia as a distinguished member of the Ixigislaturc in days of yore. It may be interesting to our readers to know what this Bohemian said of his “interview” with the Judge. It is in these words: Among a number of persons to whom I was introduced in town was an old gen tleman, aged about 70, who was reading Tire Atlanta Son, Mr. Alexander H. Ste phens’s organ. His name is Judge Rey nolds. Just who tlw Judge is, or wbut he is judge of, I am unable to say. But I aiu told that lie lost a fortune by the war, but if. still wealthy, and that bo is considered the ablest mau in Covington. Ha has a good-sized bead, broad fore head, towering perception, wiry eyebrows, keen eyes, large nose, and a firmly-closed mouth with its oornere pointing downward He looks like a good man to avoid in dis cussion. Owing to the prominence of the man I determined to ask JU1XJK REYNOLDS VIEWS. “Well, air," said the old gentleman “ I will givo you my views. The South line been badly treated since the war. If tbo war Iquoqr: Gen. Grant?] bad dealt generously with us wo would have got along very woll.” Tho Hepublioan party has had control, Jndgo. “ That makes no difference. Tho ma jority of tho Northern pooiilo scud radi cals to Congress. If they desired to leg islate for our interests they would not oloct radicals. They huve oppressed ns with the constitutional amendments and tho.ltoconstrucliou acts, and a! 1 sorts of unconstitutional impositions. What guaranty havo we in linking our fortunes with the Northern Democraoy, that we will be better off than now ? They are not over kind. We have no guaranty. In my opinion there is only one course for the people of tho South to follow.— Let them hold aloof from any departure from tho principles they have slw.iys maintained. I do not believe tho amend ments to the constitution ere valid, be causo they interfere with tho rights of tho States." Do you expect to annul those amend ments ? “No! Wedon’t expect to do anything except submit quietly to wbut wu can't help, refusing to affiliate with any party until tho time comes when wo can better our condition.

I believe in the old dootrines of the constitution and State rights; I believe the amendments to tho constitu tion and tho reconstruction acts are nu- constitutional, and I have hopeB that some day we may overthrow them. But uutil - the Demooratio party she’l enunciate those prinoiplos as a party, it oannot ex pect to receive the vote of tho white peo ple of the South; aud while wo may qui etly submit, os I said, to what wo cauuot avoid, wo cannot believo iu that party, acoopt its platform, or advocato the prin ciples it seems to have adopted.

Iu reply to the above, tve can only repeat what we said in our issue of the 22d. The article was not taken by us from the Republican, and we do not know whether it is editorial or not. The copy from which it was get up in our office was clipped from some other newspaper and handed to us by the person requesting its publica tion. Wo regret our inability to give “A Subscriber” the information he desires. We published the article of the 22d because we wore requested to do so—accompanying the same with such comments os we thought proper, disclaiming any intention to become parties to the criminal prosecution now pending, or even expressing any opinion on the merits of that case, or in any way committing ourselves to the extravagance of tho language used against any parties before con viction; and we specially referred the whole matter to the Courts and a Democratic Legislature to ferret out the facts.

It is very true that they hold many aud im portant positions ; hut I think the real objection to them is thvt they role the V' inuraliciicket. And it is also true that this class of Irishmen always become citieene as noon as possible, and have a singular adaptation to American politics. But, let mo oslt, who umong the grum blers at Irishmen holding “fat offices" would object to taking the place of my friend Rich'd B.

With unparalleled cant and hypoc- racy, their press and their orators have complained, in this regard, of the impu rity of tho ballot-box; and, as soon as they reeled, intoxicated, into power, they pu rified the ballot-box by stuffing it with tho negro. Who does not know they never would havo forced this practice upon tho negro if thoy had not believed they could turn tho impurltg to their own miserable advantage ? l-'or myself, (and I am no Irishman), I havo a high appreciation of tho worth ami usefulness of that large class of citi- zeus. They are, for the most part, la borers in those departments of human toil, where their services are no less use ful than meritorious. They should be respected und protected, not insulted.

We know nothingof the facts upon which tho statements are based, nnd must wait for events as they occur, to see how much truth there is in the announcements thus made. Was tho lute most extraordinary letter of Governor llulloek addressed to the Chairman of tho Congressional Ku-Klux Committee, to which w briefly alluded tho other day—reserv ing comments upon its character and unfounded assumptions for a future occasion—a preclude to the coming events, of which it was but tho shad ow cast before ? The account above given, of whit transpired between Judge Reynold! and tho “interviewer” in this instance, we have no doubt, is much nearer the truth, than whut wo rneot with in this class of reporters generally, though wo toko it for granted, as a matter of course, that it is as highly colored, to suit a one sided view, as possible. The probability is, that Judgo Rey nolds distinctly told this polit'eal missionary—in substuuce at least— that the true friends of the Constitu tion, North und South, would have no more guaranty for the protection of their rights, under tho proposed doctrines of tho “New Departure” Democrats, wliioh this “interviewer 1 was attempting to instill, than under the principles of the authors of til- wrongs from which the oouutry is now eutlerriig. No truer mau to tho Union of the States under the Constitution, than Judgo Reynolds is, can be found in any State. What he, perhaps, en deavored to impress upon the mind of “ W. P. C.” was, that if the Dorn ocratie party of tho Union wished to secure his confidence and support, it must stand squarely upon tho pnro and unadulterated principles upon which the government was formed. In this Jndge Reynolds is eminently a representative man, in Georgia at least. We do not believe there are 5,000 white men in Georgia, who favor any other policy—whatever con trary opinion may be expressed by any unmber of Bohemians. NEW YORK COIt RESPOND ENCE.

And what shall I say npon the admitted point, that those who would provoke public disturbance and bloodshed, by obtruding upon the oity their insulting oelebration, are not dtiiens of tho United States, either by birth or adop tion, and whose oath of organization pro vents them from ever becoming citizens ; while those insulted are Amerioan citi zens—either by birth or the laws of nat uralisation—iu one or the other of those ways?

Washington, D. 0., July20,1871 I have within the past few days in vestigated so far as iKissible the state of Mr. Robb’s accounts, the alleged defaulting Collector of Customs at Savannah, und have succeeded in ob taining an insight into the method in which tiie corrupt Ring in the Savau- nali Custom House havo managed their stupid attempt to cover eight thousand dollars stolen from “Uncle Sam.” It seems that the Old Gentleman (Uncle Samuel) has been, for some time, fully aware of what some of his professedly loyal sons were slyly doing: hut not having all the evi dence necessary to “send them up” lias played the cat and tho mouse with them, until theyuro hard and fust; and if they escape the extreme pen alty of the law they will have to show more shrewdness in personal defen sive operations thuu they have hith erto shown in appropriating the con tents of the money bags of tho Old Man Samuel. To illustrate one of the methods employed, let us imagine a form, tilled out something like the follow ing; UNITED STATES TO ITLLSBUKY.

The new vouchers were all witnessed by James Kearney—such is a specimen of the vouchers emana ting from tho brilliant Pillsbury, as sisted, no doubt, hy those higher in authority. These vouchers havo been received month after month at tho Treasury De partment daring tho post year.

The delay in sending from Savannah, and the Bmall force of clerks allowed to examiao ac counts, causing a long delay after arriving here before the fraud was discovered, and the notice of suspension aud delay of I’illsbiuy to correct, caused months to elapse before tho matter wan brought be fore Mr. Secretary Boutwcll. Boutwell has known of the defalcation in the Custom House for somo time, but as is tho case with ltadical officials, tried his best to cover tho matter up, aud allowed Robb and Wellman all the time they desired to raise the money; never once intimating that there was a law to regulate and punish such offenses. Robb being a warm friend of Buutwell's, the latter folt bound [to help him oat; and even after outside parties discovered tho fraud, and complained to Boutwell, ho simply requested Robb to hurry up and fix the matter, But fortune was against tho collector, and he could not hurry up. Tho money could uot be had, and in his efforts to raise it the whole story got out. Notwithstanding tho evidence—and it is voluminous—Boutwell to-day asserts that thore is nothing in tho matter crimi nating Robb, aud that ho will be retaiued as Collector ; but Wellman and other as sociates will bo dismissed and prosecu ted. ltobb 1ms agreed to pay eight thous and out of the oloven thousand dollars duo tho {Government, and left hero to night per Boston to New Orleans to raise tho money.

Tho Washington correspondent of tbo Now York Herald recently stated that Gov. Bullook, of Georgia, would soon follow iu tho wako of tho Northern Dem ocrats on the “Now Departure.” This announcement was received hy tho Re publicans of Georgia as an idle specula tion. For ono I must coulees that Gov. Bullock had so long and successfully playod upon tho hotter instiuets of niy nature that, I uot only declined to accept tho statement, hut openly declared it slanderous and libelous, until the whole programme of tho “Spread Eagle Tread,” which is to bring forth such a powerful and mysterious offspring, camo to my kuowlodgo in all its minutest details, a few days siuco. It ia doop laid nnd well planned; und, of course, a profound se cret, outside of the inner ring. Bon, Hill will appear first actor on tho stago, with Gov. Bullock as stage wana- ager. His part will bo to inaugumteftho good movement by delivering speeches on tho “Now Departure” in vuiious sec tions of the State. The second scene will bo an endorse- mout of Hill by bringing to his support certain Democratic (heretofore) newspa- pi rs who have sold out to Bullook and ore now completely under his control. I havo the names o' five of these: h eta, but will not give them now as I prefer to wait till the list is complete. It will surprise the good people ot Georgia to learn wliither some of their faithful “ Watchmen on (it tmeer" have drifted. In all this, ol course, Gov. Bullock stands in the back-ground, but will direct tho movements of the actors. My infor mation is of tho fullest, minutest nnd completost character. He expeets by this bhuik movement of the Democrats to oai ty out his original programme of 1SGS, when he sought to elevate himself high in social life with the respeotability of of Georgia, hy giving all, or noarly all the important offices at his disposal to iruckhug Dcmocrutio men of some abili ty, hut devoid of character. He also firmly expects to save himself from im peachment This, of course, is a'l very well. Ho proposes to keep oat of tight in this movement for a while, in order to help Blodgatt and injure Orant.

Wash'nciton, July 23.—The Solicitor of the Treasury, in a long opinion, holds that when parties act under a decision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, they ere not| liable, should the Judiciary Department subsequently overrule the Commissioner’s deci-ion. This defeats the claim of the Government for tux on Bond, Coupon and Dividends for five months between September 1,1870, and January 31, 1871, when the officers of corporations, under the Co^piissionor’s decision, failed to withhold the tax. The opinion holds that, in withdrawing the tax, the officers of corporations act as agents for tho Government, and are not equitably responsible for the legality of the Commissioner's opinions and instrnc tions, W^nlhtr JPrmbabiHlittt It is probable that the rain will extend on Monday from Kang is to Lake Mich igan and northwards, with eastorly winds on the upper lakes.
