THE NEWS.
By the arrival of the Constitution yester
day, from New York, wo received our files
to the 27th The foliowing is a summary
of the news .
The most impoitant topic of the foreign
news received in New Y’ork on the 27th, is
the “Fenian scare.” The British authorities
are taking energetic measures against the
Fenians. A large number of prisoners have
been arrested in various parts of the Island.
The fate of the Fenian organization in Ire- I
land will evidently be soon decided, one way
or the. other.
The cholera still continues to rage ia
Constantinople. Up to the date of the latest
intelligence from the Turkish capital the
number of deaths then from cholera was
fifty to eighty thousand. There is no doubt
ttaiit the pestilence was working its way
eastward, as reports from nearly all the
.Mediterranean towns represent the disease
as increasing.
The captain of the immigrant, ship Vil
lafranee, whose villainous abuse of his pas
sangers has been made public in an examina
tion before the U. S. Commissioner has been
fully committed for trial, and it is to be
hoped that some check will be put to out
rages cu immigrants by the wholesome
example which will probably be made ot this
brutal cantain.
The trial of engines between the Winooski
and the Algouquiu has been suspended with
out any satisfactory results having been ob
tained. The Winooski had inn tier engine
the uinety-six hours, but had failed to make
the prescribed number of tu r .ns. The Algon
quin broke down at so early stage of the
trial, but was then ah' , ;M \ n f i, Pr competitor,

Au important htbor movement is taking
place in New \-yrk. The New York State
Trades Ass' had been in session at Al
bany, dec iar i ng that when the question bad
been fr a | v a gjtated, they would demand a
,ei^ p native enactment making eight hours a
gal day’s work
A gicat bank robbery had occurred near
Boston, in broad daylight. Toe Concord
National Bank of Cone >rd, Mas* vrts en
tered bctw’oen half-past one and two o’clock
on the 25th, while the Cashier « s.* %z Toner,
and tiie safe robbed of $300.(V. consisting
of United States bonds and money.
A most important decision in regard to
jmnlnns, has been promulgated. The Attor
ney General has decided not to consider ap
plications for pardon- in 4bc future from in
dividuals who have domiciled outside of the
territorial limits of the United States. Such
persons must first return aud submit them
selves iu good faith to the actiou ot the Gov
ernment. The practical working of the rule
will probably be to forever expatriate many
prominent refugees.
The new Brazilian Minister was present
ed to the President on the 23d. Au address
was offered, to which the latter responded,
invoking perpetual peace and amity between
the two nations.
Tlte most important item of intelligence
from Central America is that the Government

The Montgomery Convention to-day adopt

for a general amnesty and pardon.
A resolution was also passed to the effect,
that, whereas, the people of Alabama have
given unmlstakcable evidence of loyalty to
the Government of the United States, they
therefore request the withdrawal of all troops

TO THE VOTERS OFCIIATIMM.
I am informed by various friends that some
parties are making certain charges against
roe with a view to my’ defeat, and as I can
not approach yon all individually’ to explain
or refute these ch urge s, I address you
through this channel. 1 have heard Messrs.
\\ aring and Philip M. Russell are electioneer
ing against me on two distinct grounds, one
political and one personal; and as the state
ments they are making are not correct, 1
must set myself right before you, however
unpleasant it may be to have to refer to my
self in a public gazette.
They say’, first, that I prosecuted Mr. War
ing Russell in January’ 1864. for bribery. I
did not prosecute him, us the following facts
will show. At the election in October 1853,
for members of the Legislature, a large sum
of money was used in buying votes. This
was so notorious that Judge Gibson and I
thought of contesting the election. We got
the names of many persons who, it was said,
had sold their votes. We could not hear of
enough to oveioome the majority against us.
aud we desisted. When the Grand Jury met.
in January 1864, they appointed a commit
tee to find out if any evidence of bribery at
that eleetion could be obtained. One of the
committee went lo Judge Gibson and myself,
knowing we had been investigating the
matter, and lie thus got the names we had
obtained. Those parties were summoned
before the Grand-Jury, and on their testimony
the Graud Jury presented Mr. Waring Rus
sell for bribery. I did not furnish the Jury
with Mr. Russell’s name—nor did I appear
against hito before either the Grand or the
Petit Jury. The Grand Jury acted on their
own motion and not on mine. Whether I did
or did not prosecute Mr. R however, is a
matter of no interest whatever to the public,
nor does it in mv opinion disqualify me for
the Convention.
Tim next charge they make on me is, that
I wrote a truckling, dough-faced article
for the Savannah Republican, on the
day that Gen. Sherman entered the city.
Here is the article as written by roe after
conference with several gentleman of this
city’, with the exception of the two words
“magnanimous foe” which Mr. C. E. O’Sul
livan inserted in the place of some other
word I had written, which he thought not
mild enough for the occasion. Read it and
see to what straits my accusers arc driven to
get something like a shadow of objection to
me.
“By tho fortunes of war wo to-day pass
under the authority of the Federal military
forces. The evacuatiou of Savauuau by the
Cuatederate army, which took place last
night, left the gates to the city open, and
General Sherman, with his army, will no
doubt to-day take possession.
The Mayor and Common Council leave
under flag of tiueo iliis morning for the
headquarters of Gen. Sherman to offer the
surrender of the city anti ask terms of capitu
lation by which private property and citizens
may be respected.
\Ve desire to counsel obedience and all
proper respect ou the part of our citizens,
ami to express the belie! that their property
and persons will be respected by our milita
ry ruler. The fear expressed by many that
General Sherman will repeat the order ol
expulsion from our koines, which ho enforced
against the citizens of Atlanta, we think to
be without foundation. He assigned his
reason in that case as a military necessity.
It was a question of food. He could not
supply his urrny and the citizens with food,
and lie stated that he must have full and
sole occupation. But in our case, food can
be abundantly supplied for both army and
citizens. We would not be understand as
even intimating that we are u> he fed at the
Cost of the Federal Government, but that
food can be easily obtained, in nil probabili
ty, by all who can afford to pay in the
Federal currency.
It behooves all to keep within their
houses until General Sherman will have or
ganized a provost system aud such police ns
will insure safety to persons as well as
property.
Let o'ur conduct be such as to win the ad
miration of a maguuuimous ibe, and give no
ground for complaint or harsti treat
ment on the part of him who will for
an indefinite period hold possession of our
city.
In our city there arc, as in otiier commu- !
nities, a large proportion of poor and needy j
families, Who, iu the present situation of af
fairs, brought about by the privation* of wsr,
will be thrown upon the bounty of their
more fortunate neighbors. Deal with them
kindly, exercise your philanthropy and
benevolence, and let the hearth of the
unfortunate not be deserted by your friend
ly aid."
This charge, you see, by reading the arti
cle amounts to absolutely nothing. And as
for the future, I cannot follow up my ac
cusers to find out ami refute cycry charge
they may bring against me, I beg you
will remember how little ground they had
lor making the two above named, and rc
j gartl them no more than the idle wind.
