The great labor war that has just been I creating such an excitement throughout I the country, is beyond all question, the I fruit of the same Radical spirit that orig- j inated the Abolitionists party. Indeed, a communist acknowledges as much in the I following, which we clip from an cx- | change: “The means that wo expect to adopt in henefitting workingmen are summed up t a word, namely, what I call the ‘ex propriation’ of property. We shall, by the ballot-box, get control of the Legis lature, and then we shall appropriate to the State all property. The State will run' the property for the benefit of the People, just as it now ‘runs’ the postal service, the army and the navy. The property belongs to the! State, and the State should have the control of it. Let ■ue make myself clear. We are going to act just as the Abolitionists acted a few years ago. They agitated, and agitated, and then had their own way. The South erners wanted to keep their sie ve prep ay. The Abolitionists said that it was U"t right to do so; that it should not be lone. They out-voted the Southerners, anil therefore became the Government. The Southerners resisted, rebelled. The Government ‘expropriated’ their slave property. J-Now don’t you see that the workingmen are in slavery, and .that the 1 capitalists own them! But we’intend to 4° iust shat the Abolitionists did: first, agitate; and secondly, to become in the majority, and bo to become the Govern* Mcnt ofjhe country.” There is a theory that nations, like indi- ' vlduals, sometimes become insane. Such harrlhld examples jagtUeJ&eif^t Revolu tion are cited to proVfittrue. The above pomnmnists’creed shows that the'seed insanity have been sown to- this country.

SUPIIKME COURT JUUCES IN IIIF- E ERE NT STATES. Last Tuesday, in the State Convention, when the question of granting the Gen eral Assembly of the State power to ap point two additional Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, Mr. Mathews, in ar guing in favor of the question, said: ‘I have before me a list of the States as to the organization of their courts. Delaware has 6 judges, Mississippi G, Texas 5, Louisiana. 5, Massachusetts 5, West Virginia 5, Iowa 5, Vermont 7, North Carolina 5, South Carolina G, Ore gon 5, Tennessee C, Missouri 5, Connec ticut G, Maryland G, Ohio 5, Pennsylva nia 7, Illinois and Indiana 5 each, Maine 1, Minnesota 5, New York, Michigan and California 4 each, and the following have each: Georgia, Colorado, New Hamp shire, Kansas, Virginia, Nevada, Wis consin, Arkansas and Kentucky.” STRIKING ITEMS. The jails at St Louis are full of rioters. < The great labor strike that has con tributed such an exciting chapter to American history, is fast subsiding. And thu9 the attempt of the laboring class to advance their own interest by resorting to lawless measures has re sulted, as it must always result, to their own injury as well as to the injury of all others. Walter Kichline and Edward Sur as, the two leaders of the striking firemen on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, presented them selves before Superintendent Reasoner on Monday, and admitted that the strike was over, and their efforts had been unsuccessful. Stokes, the murderer of Jim Fisk, is at Cape May, bathing daily in the surf. Wbeneyer he goes into the vea a crowd of ladies invariably make it conveni ent to be near to catch a sight of the ex- convict He is a hero among the guests the hotel. Jennie June writes of the prevalentfemale curiosity to see Stokes: “Two young ladies, curious to have a nearer view were induced to go farther out than was safe, and, stumbling into a hole, found themselves beyond their depth and exposed to a swift current that defied their efforts to get into shoal water. Fortunately the brother' of one of the ladies was close by, and, afford ing the necesary assistance, he spoiled the romance of what might have been a rescue of two females by a man whose name possesses an unenviable promt nence from his having been tried for his life, and in a felon’s cell served out the term of his sentence for manslaughter.” It is not improbable that the youngs la dies fell into the hole purposely. The estimates of the Agricultoral De partment place the total of the wheat crop of the United States for the present year, at upwards ef 325,000,000 bushels, 65,000,000 bushels more than that of last year. Of the total quantity fully 100,?! 000,000 bushels will be available for ex- ortation. The cotton prospects were arely more favorable than they -ate at resent, and it is estimated that the pro- act will be upwards of 4,500,000 bales. Tho Convention called to order by President Jenkins. 11. .) ■. - Prayer by delegate Coats. Several motions to reconsider parts of previous day’s journal were made and lost. Mr. Mvnalt, of the Thirty-fifth, moved to reconsider the journa 1 as relating to the adoption of Mr. Tift’s amendment to the sixth section. The motion to recon sider prevailed. The ameudment of Mr. Tift is as fol lows as an addition to the sixth section The General Assembly shall provide competent and uniform commissions, costs nnd fees, for all county officers, and they shall receive no other compensation for their services. Each county officer shall keep a record of fees, commissions aud costs received, to be submitted to the examination of the Grand Jury at each regular term aud shall pay into the county treasury, at the end of ea^i year, all sums collected for .fees, commissions and costs over and above the sum of two thousand dollars. The regular order of business was taken up, which was the sixth section of the report on counties and county officers, and Mr. Tifts’ amendment indefinitely postponed by a vote of 10S yeas to 3 nays. V The sixth section of report on counties was read as follows: Sec. 6. The county officers shall be elected by the qualified voters of their respective counties or districts, and shall hold their offices for two years. They shall be removed on conviction for mal practice in office, and no person shall be elgible to any of tho offices above refer red to, unless he shall have been a resi dent of the county for one year, and shall be qualified to discharge the duties thereof. Mr. Hawkins—To amend by adding to the end of the section, “and shall dis charge his duties as prescribed by law.” Adopted. Mr. Wallen moved to insert “a quali fied voter.” Adopted. Mr. Spence, of tho Thirty-fifth—To strike out all after “two years.” Amend ment received. Section seven was agreed to, as follows: Sec. 7. Whatever tribunal or officers may hereafter be created by the Legisla ture, for the transaction of county mat ters, shall be uniform throughout the State, and of the same name, jurisdiction and remedies, except that the Legisla ture may provide for the appointment of Commissioners of Roads and Revenue in any county. a On motion, the report of the tee as amended was agreed to. The hour for ’adjournment having ar rived, Convention adjourned until next day. Eighteenth Day—Tuesday, July 31st. Convention met, President Jenkins in the Chair. Prayer by delegate Tharpe. The report of the Committee of Fi nal Revision on the sub-report of the Judiciary Committee was read.* The following Section of Baitt'report after futile attempts to amend it was adopted, ahd becomes part of the Con stitution : Section L Paragraph 1. The judicial powers of tins State shall lie vosted m a Su preme Court, Superior CourtB, courts of orui* nary, justices of the peace, commissioned no taries public, and such other courts as hajc been, or may be, established by law. Paragraph First of Section Second as reported by the Committee made the Supreme Court to consist of a Chief Justice and two associate Justices, giv ing the General Assembly the power to appoint two additional Associate Jus- Mr. Collier offered an amendment not allowing the General Assembly to provide for appointment of two addi tional Associate Justices, but establish ing the Supreme Court as it now is. Thin amendment provoked an exten sive discussion. The advocates of it argued in its favor on the score of econ omy, contending that these Judges on the Supreme Court had - thus far been able to do all the work brought before it. 1 ‘ Those opposed to the amendment contended that with five Supreme Court Judges there would be a better admin istration of justice; for instance when there are but three Judges, and one gets sick, and the o.tlier two disagree in an opinion, the Judge below decides the cause, and thus the suitor does not get the benefit of this tribunal.’ Almost the entire Session was taken up in discussing Mr. Collier's amend ment. The amendment, on being put to a vote prevailed by a vote of 129 to 53 and Paiagraph First of Section Sec ond was adopted as a part of Constitu tion as follows: - Sec. 2. Par. I.' The Supreme Court shall consist of a.Chief Justice, and two associate justices. A. majority of the Court shall constitute a-quorum. Messrs.

Prayer by delegate. On motion Second Paragraph of Second Section was reconsidered and amended so that in case one or more of Supreme Court Judges are disqualified by interest or other reasons from de ciding any case tho Governor shall ap point Superior Court Judges to sit in their stead. The following Paragraphs of Section Second were adopted, thus becoming part of the Constitution: Par. IV. The Supreme Court shall have no original jurisdiction, but shall be a court alone for the trial and cor rection of errors from the Superior Courts, and from the city courts of Sa vannah and Atlanta, and such other like courts as may be hereafter estab lished in other cities, and'shall sit at the seat of government at such times, in each year, as shall be prescribed by law, for the trial and determination of writs of error from said Superior and City Courts. Pai:. V. The Supreme Court shall dispose of every case at the first or sec ond term after such writ of error is brought; and in case the plaintiff in qr- ror shall not be prepared at the first term to prosecute the case, unless pre vented by providential cause, it shall be stricken from the docket and the judgement below shall stand affirmed. Par. VI. In any case tho Court may, in its discretion, withhold its judgment until the next term after the same is argued. Paragraphs First and Second of Sec tion Third were agreed to as follows: Section III.—Paragraph I. There shall be a Judge of the Superior Courts for each Judicial Circuit, whose term of office shall bo four years, or until his successor is qualified. Par.-II. He may act in other cir cuits when authorized by law. The following paragraphs of Section Fourth were agreed to: Section IV. Parargrapli I.

Twentieth Day-Thursday Aug 2d. Convention called to order by Presi dent Jenkins. Prayer by delegate Edge. After an ineffectual motion to recon sider a part of previous -day’s proceed ing, and the submitting of the Report on Education, ,j ; Hr. Wright moved to reconsider ac tion of the Convention in voting down the motion that Judges of Superior Court shall alternate. He argued rat sone length in favor of their doing so. Hr. WrightV motion to reconsider wit* tabled. . Mr. Boyd moved to reconsider action ; of Convention making the. Ordinary's tcim four years. He argued in favor of its being only two years, but his mo- tiai to reconsider was lost by a vote of 94to 87. ' /'I^*-/ After some discussion in reference to Ju/tice’s Courts, the regular order of the Jay, remaining part of report on Judi ciary, was taken up. The following section was read: Sec. XII—Par. I. The Judges of the Siperior and Supreme Courts, and At? torney Generals nnd Solicitor Generals shall be appointed in thiswise: On a dty during; the session of the General Assembly, to be, fixed by laWj the Senate stall begin to nominate and' continne if necessary, from day to day, twoqualified persons for each of said offices, to be fill ed before the next session of the General Assembly, and report the same to the Governor, one of whom shall be commis- ioned by hyn to fill the position. This section evoked a lengthy discus sion that engaged the attention of the Convention for the rest of the day. Some favored the Judges being appointed by tiie Governor, some their being elected by the people, and some that thoy be ejected by the General Assembly. A substitute for the paragraph by Mr. Warren, of Chatham, that the Judges be elected by a joint ballot of the General Assembly was finally agreed to by a vote 8f 104 to 38. n I bars fa* Convention adjourned until next day at 8j o’clock A.

We are gradually returning to the consideration of such matters as still re tain sufficient interest to entitle them to that treatment, and which were tempor arily dismissed at the outbreak of the strikes. Business men have gone to work again, trains are running as usual, and the old routine has been generally re-established. The fears of a scarcity in our markets have subsided, and we are cheered by assurances of a full supply of peaches. There is still considerable activity in the movement of treops, show ing the Government’s purpose to relax no effort until there shall he perfect sub mission to and an absolute compliance with law. The influence of the strike appears to have extended to the Sitka Indians, who are reported to have assum ed a very threatening attitude towards the few whites engaged in business in that dismal region; and it has been pro posed to send a gun-boat there to restore order, although San Francisco opposes the proposition to send the one now in her waters to hold the “hoodlums” of that city in subjection. While it is believed that the report of Indian outrages about Dcadwood has been greatly exagerated, it is known that many of the treaoherous savages have gone off their reservations, and are/presumably engaged in unlaw ful pursuits. Nothing specially interest ing has been heard directly from General Howard since my last He appears to be maneuvering to take the waiy Joseph at sadvantago, But np to the latest ac counts that chief had refused to be “gob bled.” Capta'.u Itewn had attempted peace negotiations without definite re sults ; meanwhile Governor Potts is ap pealing for volunteers, proposing to taker the field himself. It is charged that the syndicate is acting in bad faith towards the public and try ing to obtain money under false preten ses, by its advertisement in the English papers, calling attention to the 4 per cent, bonds os a very desirable invest ment, and virtually stating that their in* terestjis payable in gold. As silver was a legal tender when the act authorizing the bonds was passed, it is thought prob able that the Government' would de cide it optional whether it would pay in gold or silver, should the letter be re monetized, as now seems likely. ; Miss Anna Boyle, a dramatic prodigy, native of this city, less than fifteen years old, and who has already become famous in her rendition of “Juliet,” appears in New York this week upon the invitation of many of the eminent citizens of that city, including Mayor Ely and Generals McClellen and Barlow.

They told her that her husband’s bones as doubtless bleaching in the wilds, but re would not agree to marry until some body should tell her of her husband’s death. One of her lovers fixed that nicely. Last year' she was told by a soldier that her husband had been killed in a fight with the Indians. She accepted the hand of the lover she liked the best, Adolph Anton Mailer, and was married to him in the foil. On the 4th of June last Jos eph Bart walked into the house in, Wil liamsburgh in military uniform and eagerly inquired for Wilhelmins. His mother-in-law told him that she was now another man’s wife. Bart said, “Is that so?” and walked away. He sued for livorce on the ground of adultery and she did not interpose any objections. The divorce was granted. The separated couple went to a restaurant and bad a good meal, a good talk, and a good cry and then tore themselves away forever— le to his regiment, and she to her second lusband.

A Chinaman who had been disappoint ed in marriage, and had grievously suf fered by woman in various other ways, retired with his infant son to the peaks ot a mountain range in Kweichoe, to a spot quite inaccessible to the little-footed Cni- nese women. He trained the boy to wor ship the gods and stand iii awe and ab horrence of the devils; but he never men tioned women to him, always descending jthe mountain alone to bny food. At length the infirmities of age compelled him to take the young man with him to carry the heavy bags of rice. As they were leaving the market town together, the son suddenly stopped short and, pointing to three approaching objects, 'cried: “Father, what are those things ? Look, look !, what are they ?” The father instantly answered with a peremptory tone: “Turn away your head; they are devils* I tell ye.” . The son in - some alarm turned away, aeeing. the evil things were gazing at him wilh some surprise behind their fans. He Walked to the mountain in silence, ate no supper, and from (bat day was afflicted with melancholy. For some time bis puzzled, anxious parent could get no sat isfactory answer to bis inquiries; but at last the young man burst out crying with ! —cplicable pain: . 0, father, that tallest devil!

Now a renewal of that fxmoustrial. ’ ' ivI 1 To Take the Place of Gas, A new means of jproducing artificial tight has been discovered which will likely work a great change ill social and industrial life. A Russian named Paul Jablochkoff has been able not on ly to secure continuous tight from elec tricity, but to divide an electric curie at and distributelights all over a building. The electricity is produced by means of an ordinary elector magnetic engine. A wire passes from the engine to a number of points and then back again to the machine. The electric candle consists of two carbon points united by anon-conductor mainly composed of kaolin. When the current reaches the bottom of a candle it is broken, and passing up to the top of one of the car bon points it changes into tight, then descends the other carbon point and proceeds on the next candle. One of these so called candles ik equal to one hundred gas jet. The new light has been tested with- very satisfactory re sults at the West India Docks, London, and from the way the British scientific journals speaks of-it, itis tike to be the . light of the future.—Chronicle aiid- Con. ~ Stitutionalisl. . ^.
