This blae fingered humbug, magnified into importance lay the miserable carpet- bag and scallawag conceit, is beginning to settle to his proper depth—the very bottom of the dirtiest of political cesspools, and the Administration is beginning—imbe cile as it is— to see that what it took for statesmanship, was indeed bnt political charlatanism. The following dispatch, which we clip from the Atlanta and Nashville Agency, presents the case of oar illustrious Attor ney General: Cincinnati, Jnne7.—The Commercials Washington special dispatches say there ap pears to bo something wrong in the Attor ney General’s office. It is very certain that much fault is being found with the con duct of Mr. Akerman, not only by private citizens having business with his office, but by Mr. Akerman’s associates in the cabi net, arising out of that officer’s habits of delay and procrastination. It is said that he materially retards the business of the government by constantly delaying action in important cases referred to him and that, in some instances, large sums have been lost because te would not act, preferring to consigD the papers to pigeon holes, and thus avoid the responsi bility of action. The fact is Akerman is incompetent, and all the Cabinet officers arc convinced of it. It is said that some have appealed to the Government, and represented that the AttO'ney Ganeral is a harden which tho President could no longer afford to car ry- It is also reported that the Solicitor Genera) of the Department and one of the Assistant Attorney Generals are also great ly dissatisfied with the manner in which business is conducted, and will soon resign, unless there is a change. Many of those who aro best informed regarding the administration of affairs, be lieve Akerman’s official life is short, that the President is beginning to see that he is without strength, os a politician, and with out strength in public affairs, and incapa ble of administering his high office, and that as soon as a snccessor can be decided upon, he will be invited oat. Note.—This is pretty hard on the only cabinet officer tho South has supplied since the war, but as Mr. Akerman is a Georgian from Yermont, he must not be put down as a sample of the average Southern states manship.—Eel.

Pebkins, Esq. -Buste’d.—One Per kins, Esq.,—he particular and put it a lit tle p—perkins, Esq., haviDg been by the unfortunate upheaval of the filth and dregs of society, incident upon the disjointednes3 of the times, elevated to the Foremanship of a United States District Grand Jury was so ignorant of the duties of such a po sition as to carry in the place all the petty spite and lying instincts of his pri vate walks; and because he foully slandered the people upon whose good character he sat the Selma Times & Messenger gave him a sensible reprimand, which so ruffled his unusual dignity as to he construed into a contempt of Court. The editor of the Times was straightway overhauled and brought to the bar, before Judge Busteed at Montgomery, Ala., who after hearing the cause decided that perkins Esq., was no part of his Court; or if so,he was too contemptible to be treated with contempt, and so dismissed the suit. And this is why we head our artiole perkins esq. Buste’d. The French government is provisional; but is efficient, and law and order reigns within its jurisdiction. Theirs favors a republic. M. Picard has been apppointed Governor of the Bank of France. Rotun- de has been appointed Proeureur General. Jules Frvre will propably be appointed Minister to Washington. Paris is regaining her former appearance of life and gayety at a rapid rale.—The process of reonscitaticn is active all over the city. The Parisians are securing their old habitations. The places of amusement, one by one, are being gradually . reopened to tho public, and meet with abundant pat- ionage and success.—Several of the princi pal theatres are in operation, and their gay interiors hear no token of the grand drama of death which has been enacted without. The cafes and saloons generally are doing a thriving bnsincss. The buildings which have been destroy ed by fire and shell arc so scattered as not to be particularly observable to the gener al view. Externally Paris presents the appearance of having been but little affec ted by the terrible fiery ordeals to which sho has been subjected.

The Sequel to the Alabama Devjsu- opement.—In the United States District Court, in.Montgomery, Ala., on the 7th, Judge Busteed placed the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad id bankruptcy.

D’Arboy, Arch Bish op of Paris, who was murdered by the Commune, was impressively grand. It was conducted in the Cathedral Noire Dame, and assisted in by a large number of eccle siastical magnates. A magnificent Cata falque upheld the remains ol the Arch- Bishop, which were reposing in a coffin covered with a black velvet embroider, and enriched with a silver cross. The other drapings of the church were appropriate and grand. A relict of the barbarism of the Commune, left purposely in their midst was the burnt and blackened chair of the Arch-Bishop. The War Department ha3 decided not to make any changed in the Department Commanders until fall. From our own Correspondent. DADE COUNTY ITERS. Mr. Wash Adkins had a fine bell stolen from off his cow. In the successful search for it he unearthed a flour barrel full, bor rowed from his ncighbo’s slock and secre. ted by John Stanton. Stanton pleads klep tomania. Col. J. W. Canton, machincst, skillfully disjointed, at the second joint, tne right thumb of Frank Cox. The young man had canght his hand in the rnnniog gear of a threning machine with which ho was unwittingly playing. Farmers are harvesting with a vim. Showers and“rounds” alternate. The yield is far superior to the expectations of the most hopeful. Unknown, midnight, and graceless assas sins, probably unpaid employees, have, of late, not unfrequently, attempted to throw offof the track the night express on the Ala. & Chat. R. R. Four parties at Eu reka Coal Banks were arraigned on this ohaige; but the testimony was insufficient to more than morally convict them, and they were discharged. One thousand dol lars in gold. Some rnffians, several months since, in vaded the premiss of Mr. Tom. Kennedy, in the North end of the county, dnring his temporary absence, making divers, dire- fecl threats, and otherwise assaulting his family, which Kennedy, opportunely ap- •pearing, checked with his revolver. One of the"ruffians was killed, another restric ted to his bed for a considerable time, and the survivors or their lawless comrades, shortly alterwards sought revenge. They again invaded Kennedy’s house and shot him and a daughter. !. Two of the devils, Adams and McHone, upon a mandamus from Bul'ock, after a fierce but gallant resistance, in which the former wa3 wounded, were arrested near 'Jasper Tenn, in which State they have all along resided, taken to Trenton, and in de- fault of bail, sont to Ringgold, and quarter ed there until the next term of Dade Su perior Court.

Papers throughout the State are general their complaints of too much rain. From everywhere we hear of rains and floods. The Mayor’s Court iu Macon is a prolific source of revenue—its assets of fines aver aging sixty-three dollars p.r day. Hon. G. S. Obcar has been unanimously elected President of the youcg and ener getic Fire Company, No. 5, of Mscod. The typos of Augusta celebrated the completion of Mr. Edward Lovey’s (son of Judge Levey) apprenticeship, by partakin of a rich dinner, given by Judge -Levey, in honor of the event. It is recorded by the Constitutionalist as a very happy af fair. The Savannah News thus notices the death of Mr. T. S. Nickerson of Savan nah : The thousands of friends and acquaint tances of Mr. T. S. Nickerson, the popular host of the Screven House in this city, will regret to hear of his death, which took place at the Plankinton nouse, iu Milwau kee, Wisconsin, whither he had gone in what proved to he a vaiu search for health, no left Savannah on the 12th of May, was taken seriously ill on the 25th and died tho Cth of June. Mr. Nickerson was born in Massachu setts. In 1843 he went to Charleston to take charge of tho Charleston Hotel. In 1847 or ’48, he was connected with the Pulaski House, iu this city, and in 1843 had control of the Mills House, in Charles ton. In 1SG3 he managed the Nickerson House, iu Columbia, Suuth Carolina, and in 1S6G was in charge of the Planter’s Ho tel in Augusta. He took charge of the Screven House, in this city abont three years ago, and conducted it in the most successful manner. At the time of his death he was about 49 years of age. Mr. Niekerson was among tho best known and most popular landlords in the country. His manner was genial and hear ty, and ho was kind, considerate and chari table. Tho Screven House is appropriately draped in mourning. The Chattooga Advertiser says of the wheat crop in Chattooga county : ■ A worthy farmer of this county informs us that his fields, as well as these of his neighbors’ are almost a total loss. He says the rust had a vital hold upon the stalk before the June rains set in; after the late rains the stalks seemed to be rotten, thus causing the wheat to fall and become mat ted, so much so that cradleing was an im possibility. Many others speak of the same disastous result to their crops, and it is feared that hardly a two-third supply will be realized. On Friday afternoon last a difficulty oc curred at Davis’ store, in Wilkinson county near the Baldwin line, between Messrs. Wm. Davis and Daniel H. Tucker on one side, and Robert and Jack Parker, broth ers, on the other. Robert Parker was kitt ed; Wm. Davis was shot three times, two of the balls passing through his body, in flicting mortal wounds, it is thought, but lie is still living; D. H. Tucker was shot in four places, in the face, shoulder and arm, and is seriously wounded. Dr. Hcrty,who is attending him, is hopeful of his recove ry. Jack Parker is thought to be only slightly wounded. The fire department of Atlanta cost $G- 500 last year. After Sunday next the schedule on the Georgia Railroad will bo changed, the night passenger train leaving at 5.15 p. m. The Savannah News reports thieves and burgiars active in that city. The same paper reports tho following : Francis Bennett, a colored girl, who has been under medical treatment since Jaly 25th, 1870, for injuries received iu an at tempt to commit a rape upon her person, by one Isaiah Blocker, a colored school teacher, died on the 30th of May last. The case of Blocker was to have come up for trial this week. The Atlanta Sun gives the following items : Midnight thieves are coming in vogue again. A gentleman from Arabia Felix adorned our streets yesterday. A wood hauler had his leg broken in McDonough on Tuesday afternoon. In many parts of the city tho streets are next to impassable. Civil business continues to occupy the attention of our local magnates. Criminal offenses are slow in coming in. Dizzling rains and sultry weather con- tiLues to oppress ns. A beautiful rainbow spanned the heavens yesterday cvenieg about sun set. ALABAMA NEWS. The Talladega Beporter says : “During the thunderstorm on Wednes day evening last, the lightning struck a ne gro man named John -Winhourn (formerly a servant of John A. Winhourn, Esq.,) killing him instantly. It seems that John was going from the saw mill to his house, a few hundred yards distant, earring a pine torch in his hand.— The lightning seems to have been attracted by tho torch, as it struck him in front, splitting the rim of his hat and running down his body. Ho was alone at the time. His body was fonnd next morning near his house. John, was a boy of excellent character, had built him a house and was accumulating proper ty- Of the weather and crops in Talladega the same paper says : “Crops of every kind aro suffering se verely in consequence of tho weather.— Wheat is being harvested under many dis advantages. . The oats are in many places entirely rained by the rust. The late oats are an entire, failure. Corn is suffering for work. It has been impossible to plow the bottom landB, or in many casc3 over the red uplands. Cotton is iu bad condition, and in a fair way to be choked by grass. The people of Talladega are moving in the right direction iu the matter of the Sa vannah and Memphis Railroad.'' It is in deed a grand enterprise, and one that Tal ladega ought to secure by all possible means The route by Talladega is the legitimate one, and we doubt not that it will be adop ted. In speaking of the mineral develope- ments to be fnado by the Talladega ronte, the Rifcorter says : “This route, moreover, touches the St. Clair Coal Fields, known as the Coosa Coal Fields, the - best ooal for manufacturing purposes that has been discovered in tfyo, South. It is also the nearest coal that can' be reached from Savannah or Brunswick by any Road. This tine would be across a se ries of fertile and productive valleys that could always furnish a largo amount of'lo cal business.” The Selma Times reports the health of Gov. Lindsey as feeble, but fears no seriocs results. The same paper says the weather in Sel ma yesterday was, excessively warm; and this affords us an opportunity to recommend the pure and fresh -airs of our mountain city to onr smothering friends down in Al abama. Our city presents attractions that will make a pleasant summer resort for the health and pleasure seekers of South Ala bama and Georgia. The Montgomery Advertiser says: “Three marriage license were issned yes terday to white parties by the Probate Judge, notwithstanding the fact that it was the hottest day of the year." The health of Senator Goldthweat is im proving, and he has so far recovered as to permit him to travel He has left Mont gomcry for some watering place, where we hope he will soon recover. Of two rising Alabamians, tho Mont gomery Advertiser says: -We were pleased to meet in onr sane- tnm yesterday the distinguished Represen tatives of the people of the eonutiesofDale and Talladega, Messrs. Carmichael and Bradford, par nubile fratum in all enter prises calculated to benefit and build np Alabama.” -> Wo endorse the compliment to Col. Taul. Bradford. Talladega may justly bo proud of him. B. W. Mattison and others offer a reward of $200 for the arrest of the incendiary, who fired the Silver Ban Academy in Calhonn county, on the night of the 1st inst. In a personal rencounter between Thos. T. McAdams and Geo. M Kline, in Talla dega on the 7th, the latter was shot and instantly killed. We have not beard the particulars, but the affair is truly deplora ble, as wo knew Mr. McAdams to be a qui et and orderly gentleman. Pryor’s Station, June 6th, 18G1. Mr. M. Dwinell, Dear Sir—What is to become of ns farmers? It rains all the time— nearly. All are in the grass, and crops are looking generally very poorly, in my end of the county, (Polk) and lost night or just before 4 day this morning there fell one of of the most destructive rains I have ever witnessed in my life. I dont know as yet the extent ol it, hut if general, such an other freshet has not been seen in this up- country for many years. The waters are, higher by odds, than I have ever seen them since I have lived in the conety. Most of my cotton crop ia looking well. I thought to send you some cotton plants, hat my farm is pretty well inundated. I saw one form (or square) yesterday which is earlier, by four days, than last year. If the raia will stop off, I may yet gain the victory over grass and weeds, bnt if it holds on much longer, 1 am gone up the spout, certain. Very respectfully, N. J. Tu JILIN. OUR NOVEL. GHAP. VIII. Wc clip the following dispatches from the Atlanta Snn : Washington, June 8.—The ku klux committee to-day examined witnesses from Mississippi, Alabama and Sonth Carolina, from whom it appears that there is a per fect quiet in the third collection district of Mississippi, being ia the centre ot that State, though generally thrmgh most of the counties in Mississippi the ku klux have appeared and committed outrages. In Eastern Alabama a colored preacher was killed and a school teacher driven off. In Chester, in South Alabama, there has been recent outrages by disguised men. Grant is displeased with ex-Senator War ner (carpet-bagger in Alabama) because he declines the Governorship of New Mexico, and Warner is displeased because he failed to receive the cottectorship of Mobile. Grant has transferred Gov. Partridge of Arizona to the ministership of Venezuela; and the minister of Mexico from that poet to Arizona, and paid the prioe of two for eign ministers to provide a place for War ner. The negro strike here, which became so formidable, has nearly subsided A big riot was threatened, and the new Territo rial District was vciy much frightened. Chicago, June 8.—Jacob Webber, while oat with aj yonng lady rowing, on an excursion, the boat was capsized and both were drowned. Boston, June 8-—The works of the Boston Stamping and Manufacturing Com pany, at Cambridge, was partly destroyed by me last night.

Parsons of Alabama was to have been examined yesterday. Oar mild-eyed and pink-nosed representive, with his Chattooga and Atlanta associates, will soon go on, and then wo will have a pretty story.

IContinual] Mrs. Eostaoo did not answer immediate ly, but after a moment, she arose and said, “I trust, Hiram, that yoa may al*ay bq equal to every difficulty you may encoun ter. A bold, brave heart is all you. need to carry; that and a consciousness of right” she added,-by way of giving A moral force to her proposition. . . ' - : ! “And the consciousness of right will in spire courage,” he quickly answered. “So if I have the latter, I may feel encouraged by the strength of the first.” . _ -w} “True; and now I mast leave the bonor of entertaining yon with Emma,” replied Mrs. Eustace, as she arose in response to a summons to her household duties; for tho Southern matron, however aristocratic, nev er considered her duties beneath the digni ty of her station. Hiram uneasily excused her, and when left alone with Emma, he- felt, a return ,af- the embarrassing constraint that had be fore oppressed him. Emma felt no snch constraint, and with-' out noticing it in him, she. playfully asked, “What tangled web of-legal perplexities arc your thoughts so industriously weaving Mr. Lavender ?” Hiram looked up with a puzzled air— “Really,” he answered, “ifjyou are Phy siognomist enough to tell that my thoughts were indeed busy, I most ask you to divine the nature of tho work, for 1 myself can not tell that I was thinking at all.” “Not thinking at all.

You know one as often looks for trouble as for pleasure, and. though we hear of multitudinous castles being built in the air, there are in troth quite, as ma ny prisons—or at least, every eaitle has its dungeon.” “That is a very pretty song-picture we have—Biggin castles in the air,” replied Emma, with a slight diversion, “Indeed, I have not seen it,” answered Hiram. “Oh, it b new, or at least new to me—I have just received it.’- “Let me bear it,” asked Hiram. Emma frankly complied, and as her rush voice presented the picture of the happy child, dreaming by the ash, Hiram thought that it was in truth a very pretty song- picture. “Heads are turned, hearts are broken— biggin castles in the air,’ 1 and as the melo dy of her echos died in the halls, Emma added, “So yon sec that you are right, and cas tle building, after all, is not unalloyed with trouble.” “Yes, heads are turned and hearts are broken, bnilding castles in the air,” Hiram answered. “Which do yon most admire, Campbell’s Pleasures of Hope, or Roger’s Pleasures of Memory,” asked Emma, with a careless ex pression. “The sentiment or style ?’’ asked Hi ram. ... . ‘Oh, the sentiment, of coarse, quickly' answered Emma.” “The style of both b faultless.” So far as the sentiment of the two touches my heart, I am free to confess that in Rogers I find a readier sympathy.'

Emma’s glance also trembled with a mys terious emotion, and in that moment all that was good and pore and sacred in their souls, was caught in one delicious embiaee, and without robing a hind, or moving a lip, Hiram felt and Emma felf, that what ever of joy or whatever of sorrow the fu ture held iu store for them, must spring from the nndefinablc monitions of that uao- ftom the vagueness, of their despondency, ever “My life has been misjudged,'! she g(ju- |jy| tinned in the Eamo drooping tone, and my nature wholly misunderstood.” ]PC i l Hiram scarcely knew what to say.

The still,small voioe, that h&dso often stirr ed its secret depths, must find an utterance and he leaned hb head forward towards the girl. “Emma,” he said, scarcely knowing that he spoke at all, “Emma, were I to throw such a love at yonr feet—a love npon which trembler my fete—into which b breathed the purest, holiest thoughts of my- nature —the sweetest hopes of. my life, and the most sacred de votion of my soul, would you despise it T' ■Emma arose—her Very being trembling with its strange and almost wild de'ight.— The sympathetic chords of their beings had been touched and attuned before he spoke, and it needed not hb words to tell her that it was hero to bless or despise. A day be fore such au utterance falling from the llips of Hiram would have shocked her— an hour before she would have repelled it with seoin, but now she knew her heart [better.

Again the harmony of their sotis was undisturbed by words, and the two happy beings walked tho balcony in sienee— the woman blessing her God forlhb, the “Host gift of his Provideaoo.” And imploring hb grace to bold her loy al to it; while he, the man, was content to stake the all of his life npon the integrity of her faith and the purity of her love, “And now tell me of your plans and of yonr hopes, Hiram,” Emma at length asked. “My plans are embodied in the earnest prosccncion of myprofession,” he answered. “And my hopes, Emma, all cluster around yon." Emma felt a thrill of pride, mingled with the sweet joys of the moment. It may not have hardly been worthy of the purer thoughts that already enthnsed her being, bnt Emma was hat haman, and the human heart b proud, as well as laving. She felt a strong faith in the fntnre of Hiram. Tho man that had told her he loved her, was the man destined to make hb mark among men, and it was a pardonable pride that flashed her joy at the thought that sho w .s to share hb triumphs. “Bow long will you remain at Harvard?” she ashed with a slight uneasiness. “That depends npon my industry,” he answered. “I hope by a dilligcnt prosecu tion of my studies, to complete my course iu two years; at any rate, I shall master it thoroogbly before I retain” he added with hb characteristic business emphasis, “Two years b a long time,” said Emma, with a rather awkward expression. Hiram smiled for the expression was not (pleating to hb own weaker thoughts.’ “Yes," he replied, “It seems a long time, but the struetnre of my profession must be securely founded.

I must ask you, Emma, to cheer her loneli ness with as much of your society as you can spare.” “Oh I can readily promise that. Mr°. Lavender b one of the few whom I have always felt glad to be with," quickly an swered Emma. “She has tiways loved you,” Hiram rc- died witha serious earnestness, “for she, Sanaa, has tiways understood you.” A qnick flush mounted to her face, as she answered. “I was too well versed in human charac ter not to well know that.’' “And there b another I would like for you to see more cl when I am gone, for I know that yon will like her,” said Hiram, half forgetful of the very short intimacy that had been establbhed between him and hb companion. “Who ?” asked Emma, with a slight cu riosity, “Viola?” It was a musical name, and yet it struck discordantly upon Emma’s soul; she was too true, however, to herself to betray any dis quietude, and she answered, “I know bnt little of Viola, and woold be glad to cultivate a better acquaintance.” “She b a sweet girl,” answered Hiram, with a frankness that at once touched and disarmed the rebellions pride of Emma. “A perfect child in nature, she is til tome that a sbter could be." The brightness of Emma’s new bom joy burst forth as radiant as ever. “And as snch, I am sore I ean love her” she answered with a smile that Hiram un derstood, and thanked her lor. “You are indeed kind, Emma,” he said, in a tone that told how mnch he felt. “And between yon and Viola,” he con- tinned, “I feel snre that my mother will not miss her absent boy.” * Emma felt “Not as I shall mbs him,” but she spoke it- not, and bad she have spoken it, she might'with equal truth have added, “And not ai Viola will. miss him.” At thb moment Mrs. Eustace ’ appeared r the balcony to rejoin them. A puz- . yet slightly pleased expression lit qp her face, as she met the two walking arm in arm. Hiram with' a quiet grace reached forth his disengaged arm, and she readily accepted it, aad the three again resumed their promenade. No word from the happy lovers told the mother of the thrilling joy that filled their hearts, and yet, with a mother’s keen per ception, she soon discovered that a new life had opened to Emma.
