Tlis Disunion Press of the State have,
of late, engaged in many comments upon
what they have glibly mouthed aa “ pro
scription for opinion’s sake." The reason
for these tirades Is obvious. One of the
order* of Gen. Tor* deprived them of a
portion of the patronage they were fatten
ing upon, and which gave them much to
work harm.
We might refer to particular mnllgnant
exhibitions of spite, by a portion of the
press; but just now, so soon after a major,
lty of tho voters of the State have endorsed
tho policy advocated by the "three or four
[so called] Radical Journals,” we feel too
good natured to Indulge’, We propose to
compromise by allowing an indulgence of
political slang to an extent BUlllclent to
remove all the sting ’caused by tho defeat
of the half a hundred journals that were
arrayed against the J!)ree or lour [so called]
Radical journals. Tile people have rendered
their verdict. Wc'tylll have u Convention:
Georgia has decided to return to fellow
ship with her Bisters of tho “Original
Thirteen,” and ihfelr offspring. Wo are
satisfied with tho glory pf tho campaign
and only regret that those who opposed
Reconstruction were so unwise as to per
mit their action to be marked by so much
bitterness. ^
A Bundle of Errors.
Tho Savannah New* and Herald, of Mon
day last, has a leaded paragraph, published
an electioneering card. We quote
first:
The value of the taxable property in
Great Britain lsf3a.OOO.OUO; In the United
States It is estimated at *11.000.000.'’
School boys can correct suob figures!
But again:
In Great Britain the government tax
amounts to ninety cents on the one hun
dred dollars. In tills country tho rate of
taxation Is three dollars and ninety-three
cents on the one hundred dollars. In addi
tion to this we must here take Into account
our State, county and corporation taxes,
which have been monstrously Increased by
tho corruptions and Irresponsibility which
have crept Into the government, the aggre
gate of our taxation thus running up to
an amount considerably greater than that
collected In Great Britain upon taxable
property of three times tlte value.”
Tax payers know that this statement of
the burdens they have to bear Is erroneous!
We need not occupy space to correct either
of the foregoing statements. But another
assertion in the s*mo paragraph deserves
notice. The News adds:
“This Is the result of Radical rule and
extravagance, and should set tux payers to
thinking seriously of their Interest, so
wildly sacrificed to advance party
schemes.”
If taxes arc higher In the United States
than they were ten years ago, who is to
blame 7 Let us, each and all. ask ourselves
this question. Somebody committed an
error. Who whs It! Who caused the ne
cessity for the heavy expenditure! That
Is the question we, as honest men, should
answer.
ATLANTA, GA.:
WEDNESDAY MORNING;: :ti NOV- C.
TbeV'SAbama Cobvkxtiom.—The Mont
gomery Sentinel of yesterday morning
says: “Delegates to the Constitutional
Convention are arriving by all the avenue*
of travel loading to the capital. Already,
over one-half, the delegates elect have
arrived, and by to-night and to-morrow
morning's car* and boat, we expect the
remainder will arrive, so that to-morrow,
at 12 o’clock, tho hour* we learn agreed
upon to convene In tho Hall of tho House
of Representatives, it Is moro than probable
every delegate elected in the State, will bo
present to answer to his name and aid In
the organization of the Convention.”
Tub Murduh op tiib Esolisii Coxrul at
Brunswick, Ga.—Our readers will remem
ber, says the Augusta Constitutionalist of
tho 3d, tho account wo published a few
Bhort months ago of tho murder of West
moreland, the English Consul at Bruns
wick, Ga. His unsuccessful rival (Martin)
shot him down nlroost Instantly upon the
conclusion of tho marrlago ceremony. Tho
case came up the other day before the
Superior Court of tho District; hut it
being found impossible to get a jury, the
Court adjourned, and Martin was admitted
to ball in tho sum of f '20,000.
Interesting Concerning Voluntary
Bankrupts.—An lmportantdcclsion affect
ing tho status of voluntary bankrupts was
Tendered on Wednesday In tho United
States District Court at New York, by
Jndgo Blatchford. It appears that ono
Charles G. Patterson, after filing his peti
tion In bankruptcy, borrowed *5.000.—
When ho was examined beforo the regis
trar the creditors on Ids schedule ques
tioned him about tho loan, and he declined
to answer on the ground that they had no
rlghtto inqulroahoutproperty acquired by
him after tho commencement of the pro
ceedings In the matter of bis bankruptcy.
Tho registrar, however, overruled tho ob
jection, and tho question was certified to
Judge Blatchford. In the course ora very
elaborate opinion, covering the whole
ground, his Honor holds tfiat “when an ad
judication Is made, the following the filing
of a petition, then it is judiciously estab
lished that the proceedings In tho case
commenced when the petition was filed.
The date of such salaries then become tho
date from which the assignee takes all the
property of tho bankrupt, which wa* his
property at that date. Such date also be
comes tho date at which tho [debt must be
duo or exist In order to be provable.
Such date also becomes the date -at which
provable debts must have existed in order
to Iks discharged. In other words, the
filing of a petition, by or against a debtor,
is thedatc. atawlllah, if an adjudication ol
bankruptcy follows, the old order of things
passes away, and a new leaf is turned
over.” '
tST The Houston (Texas) Journal gives
the following account of tho former prom
inent politicians of that State: Judge

Decision or tub Rights nv Married
Women.—Chancellor Zabrlskle dellveerd. a
few days ago, at the present term of the
Court In Newark. N. J, In the case of Qul-
dort agt. C. l’ergeaux and wife, on Inter
esting opinion affecting the rights of mar
ried women. The defendants were sued
by hilt in equity to appropriate certain
premises, held by a deed In tlie name of tho
wife to the payment of,her husband's debts.
It was shown that while Mrs. Fergeaux
had advanced part of the purchase money
of said premises a much larger portion of
it had been paid out of the proceeds of a
business jointly carried on by both hus
band and. wife, the husband doing most of
the work, although promising to do It on
her account. In reviewing the various de
cisions, the Chancellor held that while a
hnsband may. as against his creditors, al
low his wife to have for her separate use
the earning* of herself and of the lahor of
their minor children, he may not give to
her to be Invested In her own name, tho
E rocccds of hit own business skill and la-
ar; else, if she only took, or seemed to
take, some part in the transactions of it,
he might Invest the prooceeds of bis labor
and management in tho name of his wife,
and set his creditor* at defiance. Tho law
was intended to protect the property and
earnlngaof a married woman, and not the
property and earnings of her husband,
against his credltoret and when, aa In thla
ease, they mix up the earnings of tho wife
with those of the husband, so that they
cannot be separated, the hnsband cannot
male a clear distinct gift of her own earn
ings to hi* wife, and they remain as at
common law, his property. It was ordered
that the premises be held In trust for the
creditors, subject to an original mortgage,
and to the sum advanced by the wife outof
her separate property
Murder in Albany.—Wo learn that a
man named Amon was shot and killed In

Saturday last. The fRcts, as related to ns,
are aa follows: The night previous * thief
was detected by a watchman In one of lliu
•tores of the eity. which, upon signal given,
was Immediately surrounded hy a party
of watchmen. The thief, after shooting
several times at the parties outside, through
the window, jumped out and made his es
cape. A party of gentlemen, Including
the persons named shove, were speaking ot
the affair next day. when Betts remarked
that If he Imd been there the thief
would not have escaped. Ainon replied,
-perhaps you were the man,” whereupon
Betti became enraged, drew a revolver and
fired twice at Amon, both halls taking
effect In Ids body, the second entering his
heart and killing him instantly. Strange
as it may appear, Betts was allowed to
make Ids escape, though at last accounts
the military authorities were In pursuit of
him.—J/ucui lelet/rapA

“ It Is significant that the Russians, wlio. R

THE EXPLOSION IN ANNAPv 2I*IS.
Particulars ot~(lie Disaster '
On Saturday afternoon last, about »,"'’ ur
o clock, the steam lauuch Albcrmarle, h»
longing to Admiral David D. Porter, So-’
pcrTntendcnt of tho United States Naval •
Academy, exploded In the Severn river op
posite the Academy, and about twenty
yards from the monitor Tonawando. The
launch was being put to an experimental
test by Chief Englneer Hoyt of the Acade-,
my. who was a gentleman of superior qual
ification and of great scientific research.—
Tho entire ereiv consisted of Chief Engi
neer lloyt, Wm. Clark, engineer; John
Shay, coxswain; a colored man. fireman,
and two sailor boys. IVc learn tho follow
ing facts In regard to the explosion, from
a gentleman who was about twenty yards
from tho launch at the time:
About twenty minutes past three o'clock,
on Saturday evening, the launch “Albe
marle," with a crow of four men and two
sailor boys, was steaming down the Severn
river, she having been up about one mile
to try her speed, and on her way down,
when nearly opposite the monitor Ton.t-
wandn. Chief Engineer Host was standing
In the aft of the bout, with Ids watch In his
hand. leaning over the ~ back-board, as If
watching the steam gauge, when be was
heard distinctly to say to Engineer dark,
“to shut her off," and Clark reached his
hand as If In the net of obeying the or
der when the holler exploded, sending
Clark about ten feet straight in the ulr.
and Chief Engineer Hoyt about fifteen or
twenty feet over tlie stern Into tho water.
One of the boys was also blow n up about
ten feet.
Mr. Shay aud tho colored man were
both found in tho launch. The colored
mail was so badly scalded that all tho skin
peeled off. and it was bird to tell whether
he was a white nr a black man. only hy
the linir on bis head. The builer went up
into the air about ten feet above the rore-
topgallant must, carrying away all her
shrouds, stays, and part or her mast, leav
ing the boat a complete Wreck. When the
accident was seen from the monitor, four
hosts left for the scene, end the sailers
Hied all In their power to savo those wlm
were swimming iqmn the water. Engineers
llovt and Clark w ere swimming about, hut
belure the sallurs got near enough to them
they both sank to rise no moro. The two
hoys ware picked up and brought to the
shore, and. the bodies of Hoyt and Clark
were afterward caught. The boiler lias
since been found, and from tlte gauge tt is
supposed Mist the launch had on at Mm
time of the explosion one hundred and
fifty-six pounds of steam.
Admiral Porter was ai,out stepping on
lioanl. but not being well, concluded not
to go. While standing on the wharf of
the Naval Academy anil looking nt till'
vessel the unfortunate accident ooourred.
