Tbe Trae History el the Famous Dispatch— The Header's Perplexity—How Ihe Meo sne Woe Received— Alunml o Miscarriage’ —The Prlace of Wales’ Cleaeroslty. [Arts York Timex ] Y eater day morning Governor Hart ranft, of Pennsylvania, rose somewhat subsequent to the lark’s usual hour, and after grasping the fact that he was in Providence, and had on tbe previous evening attended a meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic, immediately be came a prey to melancholy. He remem bered that be had Rent a telegram to General Grant, "Care of her Mijeety, Queen Victoria, Buckingham Palace, Loudon," and a terrible doubt as to whether that telegram had been proper ly directed made bis head ache to a most painful extent. When he directed that telegram, he wanted to make sure that it would reach the ex-President, aud assuming that the latter was stop ping with the Queen, he had no hesita tion in sending it in care of her Majesty. It was not until yesterday morning that it occurred to him that the Queen might not be at Dackingham Palace jnst at present. He was not at all disturbed by the assertion of one of his aides that the Qneen constantly resides in the Tower of London, for he was well aware that Buckingham Palace is merely a wing added to the Tower by the late Prince Consort. What made him uneasy was the recollection that the Queen has a conntry seat at Balmoral, in Scotland, where she retires when Buckingham Pg!<ice is nndergoiog its annual cleaning. If, thought hs, at this very period Buck ingham Palace is baiog scrubbed and whitewashed, and tbe Queen is at Bal moral, that telegram may never reach General Grant, What is worse, that box of cigars that was forwarded last Mon day, directed precisely as was the tele gram, may fall into tbe bands of the local colored minister who whitewashes the palace, and may be smoked by that nndiserisniDfltiug artist and his personal fjriends. The atone Governor Hartranft thought over the tffair tae worse hiR Lead ached, and the more clearly he saw that he had been too hasty. Had he di rected that telegram to “ Beacons field. Eq and requested him to for ward it Ui General Grant without delay, there would have beef} DO doubt that General Grant would FftSgjyed it. As it was, the telegram might never reach the Queen, acd if it (lid reach her, she being a woman, might put it on her maDtlepiece at Balmoral and en tirely forget to mention it to General Grant lor three or four days. Governor Hartranft groatiea & this last con tingency occurred to hit*. Thjf g Jel®- gram which so chastely and beautifully informed General Grant that "your eo<rsdea * * * desire, through you to Kogtaud’s DneeD, to thank England for Graut'a recaption," /should miscarry, simply because of a uDatsitO jp the ad dress, was a bitter thought, and ao Gov ernor Hartranft rang for more soda water be inwardly resolved never to send another telegram after dinner. It is a pleasure ml as a duty to re lieve so excellent a n&w 9(1 Governor Hartrauft from his present state m pain ful uncertainty. Fortunately, thoia is no difficulty in 80 doing. Fiom souroes as exclusive gpd as authentic as those from which the tfrrald obtains its war telegrams, the Tune.* bitf received a full account ot the reception ui Up* gover nor’s telegram in England, aui eau assure him that it is already in tbe ex Pr* suwot'e bauds.. At the same tune it is proper to add thgt f/li *t been for a lucky accident that fajpgram would never Lava returned its dpsfina tion. At two o’clock on Wednesday morfitUg the Prime Minister, who, during his tenn of office, always occupies the second story front bedroom iu Bucking ham Palace in order to be handy if the Queen wakes up iu the U'ght and thinks she would like anew title, was aroused by a tremendous knocking at the front door, Ha.tily springing out of bed aud opening the window, he saw a boy iu the uniform of tire Atlantic Cable Company standing ou tbe front step, aDd whist ling “Rule Britannia.” To tfa# Pr*- mini’s excited demand to know where the fire was, the boy coolly replied, "Telegram for your missus," whereupon Lord Beaconsfield, angrily exclaiming "Holy Moses 1” closed the window, put on his trousers, aud descending to the door, told the boy io “hand it over.” Now, a cable telegram costs a good deal. There won eight pounds four and three pence due on uavaruor Hartrauft’s tel* gram, aud the boy refused to dof.iyr it without the money. Hence it became nececaarr to wake the Qneen. The noble Earl bad to tike this delicate duty upon himself, since tbe ayi-vautß remained invisible, and it was with aainy misgiv ings that he knocked at her Majesty’s door, and after informing her that a boy was waiUug with a telegram for General Grant, aud that faMLUited eight pounds four and threepemw, suggested that she should bwd blf# tbp fton*7 through (be crack of the door. Tbe Qneen may ttot be a particularly irrit able woman, but it was hardly to be ex pected that she would get out of bed, strike a light, and hunt up bur purse witbopt betraying some little auuoyanee. la hu*. be was extremely angry, and not drly 09nmtt#ri)y refused to receive General Grant s but informed Lord Bfiaoountu'M if her up again iu tho middled iw 3 to ask her to pay nine pounds for @olem body else’s telegrams, she would dismiss him without a character. “Why, even Gladstone,” added the irate Queeu, “hasn’t himporance enough to come and ’amrner at my dtsor, and ask for fifteen or twenty nounda at tide time of night.” After this there seemed *w}G.iing for the Premier to do but to tell iu- bpj that no person by the name of (iraut lived at that house, and to shut the door in his fact %. At that moment the fate of the telegram summed sealed. The boy started to return it t* the otfioe, where it would have beeu s.utwov*d “Not found,” and Governor Hartraidt woffld have beeu charged with its coat, ft oo happened, however, that Gen. Graut and the Priuoe of Wales, who had been attending a meeting of the Society for Propagating the Gospel Among the Jews, were on their way la the General’s lodgings, and, passing Backi.ngham Pi lace, met the boy descending tiifi frout steps. The Prince stopped and questioned him* and, ou learning that the Qneen had tafused to pay for a tele gram, remarked to il Grant that some day “mother would into diffi culties by refusing to pay for bete**#p)S,” and generously told the boy to give b*h4 the ieWgrstn and he would call aud pay for it the naxt day. Meanwhile, Gen. Grant had oaugtot sight of the address, and thereupon paid Ih boy, opened the tehsgram on the spot and reaA if. Ttuui Governor Hartranft’s reached it destination, aud when be reads this moruiug'a Times he will re gain bit usual spirit#,. He is a good soldier aud a good Go.ver#oy, bat it does uot seem ss if nature m to seu.t telegrams to tj Presidents in tug laud. No man can dp aii things. Gov Bait ranft ought to recoguiaa this fact, and to concede that sending telegrams to General Graut iu care of Queen Vic toria ta uot a practice for which he is peculiarly fitted.

His friends web: notified, and of them came over and rteogaced him. Tte letter to his wife runs &s fol laws j “I bays often toU th.e that whin the measure is too full if raps over. That time baa now conic. I had prom ieed myself to kill thru at the same time as myself, yt it baa seemed better to ms that I should leave thee and thy children, whom thon hast until now oon stantly rendered unhappy, in peace, and act in such way that, as my dear little Charlie said, T shall go and come hack no more.’ It will be best in that way. I fed nothing mow, as those three feel nothing, for whose death thou alone art to blatne. If then deny this, thou moat perjure thyself before God and thiue own rtonsnience. Rut thou be j lievest iu no God; what else could be , expected ? There waa no contentment, no harmony, no fortune and no blessing ! in my home; although I have worked so ’ bard, as all ihe masters I have been ; with, and they are respectable, honored men—Duische, Pittmann, Rooms, Back er, Huber and Brufter—can bear testi mony; and now when I am out of work they ill-tpeated me, which gives me mere pain than uy pen can express. When I think upon what I hare been obliged to I hear anil bear from thee I see that it all should make a man eager of heart to do thia deed. Had I not possessed such a forbearing spirit the death-blow would already long have fallen, for the saying ! is, the blessing of tbe father builds the house, but the corse of the moth er tear* it down again. However, noth ing else can happen when one does not believe iu a higher life; but thy puniah- meet is already upon tbee, and it will fall heavier upon thee, for everything has its proper time, and the jnst God will not be mocked. Thon baa deserv ed it doubly on account of our eldest son John, for he ia dumb, and he, too, wonld better have died at nineteen, be cause thon has poisoned his life. Now he is big and strong and has straight limbs, tint be can’t apeak; this gave me grief whenever I looked at him. Now thou has brought me so far that i, too, am sileut; aud now thon caust cook soup and pies as much as may please thee in defiance, as thon saidst to me thou wouldst. I have had very little from thee; yet a little white and I shall need nothing at all, neither a glass of lice.- nor anything to eat. I shall have passed over. Ido not wish any evil to any of yon, bnt that all may go well with yon; more 1 cannot do. Good bye. John Magnus. “ Never canst thon answer for what thou hast dona to thy children. Three are dead; one thon bast made a cripple, and of my death, which makes them fa therless, thon art guilty. It will be sad for them when it is said : ‘Your father died so and so.’ Now art thou free from me, I shall suffer and bear no more and thon canrt let loose thy joy, for it ia unto thee as thon has so often wiebed and still wisheat. This is aIL” The letter to his son John ran as fol lows : Dbau John—l mast tell thee before I die who is to blame because thon art deaf aud dumb. When thou wert three years old tbou could speak well enough, bnt thy mother, or the wolf, as I might better Gall her, is to blame for it. Thou wert somewhat slew in going ont at the door, when she hit thee and pushed thee out, so that thon didst fall on thy head down the steps, even as she her self told me later, for at tbe time I was uot in the house, bnt at my work. From that hoar thou didst lose thy speech lit tle by little, although I tried everything, and went to the best doctors, sueb as Professor Thompson, but nothing was of any use to tbee. When I looked at thee often I saw that thon hadst straight limbs and understanding enough to oar ry thee well on in the world, bnt thon couldat not speak. At times this al most drove me out of my head. Tby mother btthaved badly to me, as thou thyself hast seen; gaveqjenothiag to eat, and my drinking beer had long been a thorn in her side. Now lam in peace. These two hours which I have yet to live do not help me very much. I have thonght the matter over carefully, and wished to kill her too; but what good wonld that do me ? She will live, and I will gp; tfjjs is best. She will yet have to softer what ah* Las ueaeryed from her life. I greet thee once again, and am thy righteous father, Johann Magnus. Thou didst lose tby speech in tle same house where we now live, in No. J, one floor lower than now. A HTUAIGHT FLUSH.

BOW HE I.IVEH AT KIBSINOEN- Condition of the Priace—What He Thinks— The Wreck ol a Colossus. fAVio York Yun Lethr .l Far from having any stuff or chancery with him, Prince Bismarck leads, it ap pears, a strictly private life. His wife, the Princess Johanna; his daughter, the Countess Maria; his son, Count Her bert; and five servants, from his whole household. His son serves him as Secre tary, Aid de-Camp, and even personal attendant, for the great statesman ia afflicted with severe rheumatism, aud is unable to walk alone. It is on tbe arm of his son that he leans when taking exercise; it is to his son that he dictates hia letters and dispatches; it is his sou who receives visitors for him; and it is his son again who serves him as aide-de camp, and pats his Captain’s uniform on when the Chancellor assumes an offi cial character. The family do not live in the town cf Kissingen.’ They occupy an old and more than modest house about half a mile off. The honso served bnt a short time ago as a habitation for certain la borers of the salt works. It has been cleaned, painted, and placed at the dis posal of the Chancellor by the King of Bavaria, who supplies him also with carriages, horses, aud a strong force of police. It was at Kissingen that an at tempt was made a few years ago by Kullmann to take the Chancellor’s life. The King of Bavaria, being afraid lest something of the kind should happen again, ordered a body of police to gnurd the honse day and night. Wheu Bis marck is out driving or walking he has his own detectives, brought from Berlin, following him. Snltan, a big Danish dog, completes bis escort. The treatment of the Chancellor con sists of a few glasses of Rakotzy water in the morning and a bath of fifteen minutes’ duration in the afternoon. It is almost exclusively for the purpose of taking this bath and water that he ever goes out of his own door. He is never seen at the Knrsaal, and but seldom met taking an evening strool witb his wife and daughter in the woods snrrouuding his house. His malady consists in some derangement of the nervous system combined witb rheumatism. Tbe affec tion of tbe nervous system lias its nat ural cause iu the overwork to which he has subjected himself for so many years; yet additional reasons for it are sought in the renewed differences with the Empress which preceded hia re iro ment. The animosity between Empress Augusta and the Chancellor is of long standing, but it reached its climax some three months ago, when Kaiser Wilhelm droppped out of his pocket a note written in Bismarck’s hand, and violently attacking a favorite lady in waiting of the Empress. The Crown Pfinpe flifl his ljest to iuduce Bismarck to give in; the Emperor sent his confi dential aide-de-camp, Count Leliudoiff, to Kisseugen for the same purpose; but Bismarck remained stubborn. In a con versation with M. Perivier, young Count Herbert himself acknowledged “that oertaiq Q i epgjities” were among the main reasons for Ins father's retire ment. Personally, the Chancellor lias greatly changed. He still keeps his creot bear ing, but he is growing thinner aud paler every day. The bi;jterq’,sS! and jocose German llursch is dead in him. lie iias given up wine aud cigars, iu both of which hejused to iudulgeto a formidable extent, lie speaks in a low voice, works but very little aud spends most of his day in readiug French u ivels. His favorite authors are Alphonse Daubit and ‘ Gaboriag.

CREDIT VERnU* REPUDIATION. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: A grave issue u at stake between an an just advantage and the general credit of tbe Georgia Railroad. An attempt is threatened whioh, if carried into effect, may end in tbe injury and destruction of all forms of Bontheru trust and seen rity. The credit of the Georgia Road has reared its crest above the ravages of time; its faith has sometimes bent under tbe pressure of circumstances, but we never thought that faith would be self broken. It has borne iLelf triumph antly through war and adversity, bat we never thought that a war between its members would work its final decay. We say final decay because an action similar to tbe proposed repudiation of the Port Royal endorsement cannot stand isolated and alone, nor can its effects stop with this single and indi vidual case. The Georgia Railroad has larger and greater interests at stake. Od the strength of its endorsement the Macon and Angnsta bonds were placed. What reason have we for supposing that it does not intend a similar coarse when their time of payment arrives ? It has pledged its faith for three millions of bonds of the Western Railroad of Ala bama. What proof can it afford that it will not telieve itself of these in a simi lar manner ? Their strength is that it has pledged its faith and given to the public its assurance. Bnt was not its affidavit made upon tbe Port Royal en dorsement, and has it not, from inno cent purchasers, reaped the benefit of these bonds ? And if it now shamelessly repudiates this five hundred thousand, will it not more eagerly go behind its word in the Western Railroad three mil lions, where its interest in repudiating is six times as great? If the di rectory consider us premature in this reasoning, they are indebted to their threatened attitude of mis representation for our forebodings, for men do uot gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles, but by their fruits ye shall know them. Two pillars on which Georgia stands forms Justice and Mod eration, and it is her pride that while deliberate before acting, when her de cision is formed the decree stands firm; and nothing has represented this firm ness better than the Georgia Railroad. Its credit has been a good index of tbe credit of the State, and Georgia, proud of her corporation, acknowledged its worth by inakirgit a security for widows and orphans. Rut, in an evil hour, a righteous Judge, a second Daniel come to judgment, on his three shares of stock, representing, respectively, folly, injustice and repudiation, stickling over :i legal flaw, declares that public faith need not be regarded, and boasts of his intention to “smash up” a pledge, the principle of which is the keystone in the arch of public credit and welfare. As certain forma of crime are contagions, so there is no instinot whioh so quickly affects and surely reacts upon a com munity aa an attack on public confi dence aud credit. Bad faith having throttled one victim, quickly buries its fangs elsewhere; corporation follows corporation, municipalities are quick to throw off’ their indebtedness, and this forms the highest prestige for individu als to bankrupt, ao that general mistrust and misfortune may result. We regret, tho imperfections of legislation, which admit even the possibility of innocent, purchasers being swindled, but let those who are setting iu niotiou this hall of re pudiation beware, lest in its evil effects it rebound upon themselves. Gracchus. UEOIUiIA It At I.HOAD ENDORSEMENTS. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Gentlemen -In your paper of 24th instant 1 notice an article headed “Government ps. Ronds," and signed “Truth,” which, as it contains some chaiges referring to myself, demands a reply. The charge made in the article is that I had “on the streets proclaimed nry intention to ‘smash up’ certain guarantees or endorsements to which as a party I assented years ago,” referring to the endorsement of Port Royal Rail road bonds by the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company, to which charge 1 reply by sayiug that I have said no such thing, or anything like it, “on the streets” or elsewhere. I have never olteially or otherwise taken any part in any proceding or ac tion of the Georgia Railioad and Bank ing Company, or the stockholders, or any one else, to affect the validity or re pndiatiug the broils of the port Royal Railroad, bonds endorsed by Georgia Railroad Company, i did not know un til sometime after the stoppage of pay ment of interest on these bonds endorsed by the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company thutsuiha course had beeu thought of or adopted. It is true, when asked by the brokers of your city to bny these endorsed bonds I have declined to do it, because their validity had been assailed, bqt I ltaye siuce the eudprse mept ueyergiydp j,u’y afflty übuißehance to any t 9 dispwn hip endorsement or aflvet its value, Ro much for this charge. As to the charge that I own but three shares of stock in the compa ny of which I am a director, it is true; bnt the records of the company aud the testimony of the directors and stock holders who know anything about the matter, will sustain me in tho assertion that no one has more honestly aud cou atantly endeaypred tp maintain tho proa p&itv* 'dr’fjft * isedfißA*’ and Banking Company, ifotj respectfully, ‘ 5 • \y. 4f.

Editors Chronicle and ConstUuti.otmlig(: In yonr editorial of Satfituay morn in/ last, entitled “The Appointing Pow- FP! 1 fIS'M'P il lib tpP f}qverpor has gie aMsomtmedj- of 4.#s offi cials, apjf sav Mtlijs enormous patronage •s fffi'pi’gb fh tfcp spirit fit popular gov err.umnr and ia the legacy left to us by the liepubiican majority of the Conven tion of 1807*’G8.” Permit me to doubt the accnracy of this assertion. It was not the Radical Reconstruction Conven tion of 18G7-’6B whioh initiated the policy of Executive ftpjgojutmeuts to office in'yJejWfci' ft yam tpg Recession Cqnyenfipn' pf fttil which epufcrred this powgrcpif) tffeftxecqtjYe and the Recon struction Convcßtign simply fallowed in the footsteps of the Accession Conven tion in this particular. To show how this is lpt m e compare the language of the Uonatjtuiioa of Ifffil and the Con stitutiou of 186S. Tbe Constitution of 1861 had these provisions : “The Su preme Court shall consist of three Judges, who shall be appointed by tho Governor with the advice on-1 consent of two third*) of tlip t-'eqate" (art, iy., 8?o. 1., par. ’“The qiiq es bt the Superior Court's'shell bp kppfiipfad is the same manner as Judges of tho Bupreme Court” (art. iv., sec. 2, par. 1); and “there shall be a State’s Attorney and Solici tors appointed in the same manner as the Judges of the Supreme Court” (art. iv.. sec. 3., par. 21, t ftyuftiTO °i w r - Judges of ]{ie Supreme and Superior Courts, the Attorney-General find Soli citors General B |ial j oe apnoipfail ftv tjie (fasfouQf sitp SflSfaiTkhd consent of the Seaate , ’~ (art, v, aeo. par. 1). You will perceive, therefore, that the policy of Executive appointments is not “the legacy left to us by the Repnbtican majority of the Convention of 18fi7-fiß.” but tkft t|(B (Jongtitutipp pf ia iu these purtfautaft traiiPcript Ql that of lfitß.

J.bnsou moved us a substitute that the election be by the Legislature. This was overwhelm ingly vote;} (jovifp by a YPle of 69 to 151. Mr. Johnson was the only man of prom inence in the State who voted for his proposition, while Tbos. R. R. Cobb, General Bartow, General Benning, Geo. R. Crawford, Benj. H. Hill, Augustus Reese, Linton Stephens, Robt. Toombs, Roil, Renan, Lester, Jackson, Hausell, Risbet and Trippe were among those who voted against it and in favor of Executive appointments. To this I might add that in the Con stitutional Convention of 1865 Jenkins recorded bis vote in the same way, voting in favor of conferring the appointing power on the Executive, as did also black, of Scriven; Dubose, So lomon Cohen, Judge Hook, General An derson, of Savannah; Jared J. Whitaker, then editor of that famous oracle of Georgia journalism, tbe Atlanta Intelli gence ; Augustus Reese, Hon. Alex. C. Walker, Lewis, of Greene, and others of prominence in that body. In view of these facts it can hardly be tbe case that the appointing power “is foreign to the spirit of popular government,” for sure ly if so Jenkins, Toombs, Stephens, Cobb, Reese, Hill, Crawford. Bartow, Benning, Hall, Jackson, Daßose, and all that noble company would never have championed it,as we have seen they did. Acbocerauniam. All A bant ihe Eye.
