He continued the classification of the ruins and the relics they contained, and soon found that they might be di\ ided into four distinct strata, each of which represented a long historic period. Further comparisons convinced him that the third of these strata, counting from the top, was the only one which met the requirements of Homer and Greek tradition; consequently here was Troy. But under Troy there was an earlier layer of ruin, varying from thirteen to twenty feet in depth, before the primitive soil was reached. The discovery is hardly less interesting than that of the position of Troy. It carries the antiquity of the city back into that immense shadowy past of the human race, which stretches like a mysterious twilight land behind our oldest history. The geographical position of Ilium ex plains its importance in those far off ages. The gorges of Ida protect it in the rear ; seated at the junction of the Hellespont with the JEgean, it made a station between Colchis, at the eastern extremity of the Euxine, and all the Grecian, Egyptain and Phoenician coasts, the rich plain around it furnished abundant supplies, which could be readily exchanged for foreign merchandise, and as its people became rich and impregnable within their citadel town, the other and ruder tribes in their neighborhood would yield to their power. It is certainly older by a great many centuries than Athens, and its immemorial importance was no doubt the first cause of the jealousy of the sen sitive Greeks. The topmost historical stratum, which is only six and one half feet in depth seems to begin about the year 700, B. C., when a Grecian settlement was establish ed there under the Lydian dynasty. From that period, coins and inscriptions indi cate the subsequent centuries until about the fourth cqntury of our era. There are no later coins or medals than of Coustans II, whose reign ceased in 361, A. D. Schlieman is of the opinion that the city was destroyed at that time or soon after- ward.but gives no conjecture of the man ner of its fall. It seems to me that the raids of the Goth, then settled on the northern shores of the Black Sea, where they built fleets, even sailing through the Bosphorus in proud defiance of Constan tinople, to ravage the coasts of Greece and Asia Minor, give us an easy explana tiou. The Greek Ilium, which covered the whole of the lower plateau of Hissar- lik, must have contained 100,000 inhabi tants. It was a rich, and at that time doubtless a luxurious city, clearly visible from the waters of the Hellespont, spee dily reached and incapable of resisting such stalwart invaders. We have thus an age of 1,050- years for the first 6J feet of rubbish. At this depth the Greek masonry suddenly ceased, and a stratum 17 feet in thickness intervenes between it and the massive buildings of the Trojan era. The relics hero found are of a perplexing cliaracter, and will give plenty of work to the archeologists. The walls are built of earth and small stones, but the abundance of wood ashes shows that the city—oi the successive cities—was chiefly built, of wood. If the chronology of the Trojan age can be approximately established, it will, of course, give us the duration of this intermediate belt of ruin; at present it iB scarcely possible even to guess. The ruins of Troy form a stratum averaging 10 feet in thickness, the depth (from the surface) reaching from 23^ feet. Since the foundation of the city is con jectured to have taken place about 1,400 years B. C., and its fall and destruction by fire to have occurred 1,100 B C., this Would give three centuries for the forma tion of ten feet of ruin—which is quite fufficifint if we imagine a small bat crowd- tl ^r lh bouses of more than one the much "'° od work ’ of which mqvl-= / • g T e a ™ ple e^dencc. The intense heat are everywhere mawfest When the Scam Gate S first uncovered, the pavement was uniformly P n C r ft :f ; but at the end of two or three mr? % G Rt ° n i bl ° cks alon S the u PP er part of the streets, which had been exposed to the flame, crumbled almost entne.y away, to a distance of ten feet toT] TL<3 other blocks protec ted by their situation, remain solid, and piomise to stand for centuries. . finally under Troy, there is a fourth stratum of nun, varying from thirteen to twenty feet in depth, as I have already stated. The age of this is a matter of pme conjecture, since the vicissitudes of the city s history—frequent destruction and rebuilding—would have the same practical effect, or nearly so, as a lorm interval of time. W e have anywhere fiom 2.000 to 5,000 years before Christ —taking Egyptian, Phoenician on Pelas- gic remains as guides—as the date of the foundation of the first Troy. }’ j?F“d with his Homeric enthusiasm, bcliheinann gives us, in the present work only fragmentary and imperfect accounts of the characteristics of the earliest ruins. The most remarkable feature, perhaps, is the superiority of the terra-cotta articles, " Inch indicate a greater degree of taste and skill than those in the subsequent strata. From the beginning down to the Greek period the evidences of a gradually declin- mg civilization are so clear, m the discov erer s opinion, that they must he accept ted. The early vases are of a shining black, red or brown color with ornamen tal patterns, first cut into the pottery and then filled with a white substance. ‘Only one piece of paiute 1 terra-cotta was found. The inhabitants of the city were certainly Aryans. This fact is illustrated in their manner of buildings, and also in the frequency of the earliest Aryan reli gious symbols upon tiie terra-cotta dibits. AKGUMENT soar. O F I. P. BSIiL GEORGIA, BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON RE VOLUTION ART CLAIMS. APRIL 27, 1874, ox The Bill to refund to the State of Geo- gia the sum of Thirtv-five Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty,five Dollars and Forty two cents, expended by said State for the Common Defence 1777. Story of Mrs. Siddons. When I was a poor girl,” relates Mrs. Siddons, the actress, “working very bal’d for my thirty shillings a week, I went down to Liverpool during the holidays, where I was kindly received. I was to perform in a new piece, somethin^ like those pretty little affecting dramas they get up now at the minor theaters; and in my character I represented a poor, friendless orphan girl, reduced to the most wretched poverty. A heartless trades-man prosecutes the sad heroine for a heavy debt, and insists on putting her in prison unless some one will be bail for her. The girl replies, ‘Then I have no hope—I have not a friend in the world.’ ‘Wlmt! will no one be bail for you to save you from prison ?’ asks the stem creditor. ‘I Lave told you I have not a friend on earth,’ was my reply. But just as I was uttering the words I saw a sailor in the upper gallery springing over the railing, letting himself down from one tier to another,. until he bounded clear over the orchestra and footlights, and placed himself beside me in a mo ment. ‘Yes, yon shall have one friend, at least, my poor young woman!’ said ho, with the greatest expression in his honest, sunburnt countenance. ‘I will go bail for you to any amount! And as for you,' turning to the frightened actor, if you don tTbear a hand, shift your moorings, you lubber, it will be the worse for you when I come athwart your bows.’ Every creature in the house rose: the uproar was perfectly indescribable— peals of laughter, screams of terror, cheers from his tawny messmates in the gallery, pre paratory scraping of violins in the orches tra ; and amid the universal din there stood the unconscious cause of it shelter- me, ‘the poor, distressed young woman,’ and breathing defiance and des truction against my mimic persecutor. He was only persuaded to relinquish his care of me by the manager’s pretending to arrive and rescue me with a profusion of theatrical bank notes.” How Qaeen Victoria Entertains- I need not tell you how simple, plain, and perfectly Englishvwomanly are the habits and tastes of the Queen. The I’rince of'Wales, socially, is nothing more than a rich, sporting, pleasure loving squire. The style of entertainment at the palace, for example, is quite like that you would re ceive at the house of the Duke of Suther land or the Duke of Westminster. Nay, I have even heard the complaint hinted that when the Queen entertains officials at dinner the viands are not as various or as well served as at any ordinary aristo cratic gentleman’s house. The Queen certainly sets an-example of economy to her upper-class subjects. When she comes to London for the early Parliamentary season her favorite method of dispensing hospitality is to give garden Parties and “breakfasts” in Buckingham Palace gar dens, or in the private garden of Windsor Castle. Invitations to these are, of course, very much sought for, because they are the most select: there you come directly in contact with royalty,-and see it more nearly and familiarly than if yon dined with the-Queen in the castle. When you are conducted to the garden by one of the searlet flunkies of majesty said flunk}' is about the only visible hint of its being a royal party. You see pretty tents and canvas pavilions disposed here and there under the oaks, on the velvet lawn, or by the side of the pretty minia ture lake. * If this is in the very center of fashionable West End London, the mo ment you have passed behind the high wall which shuts it out from St. James park on one side aud Grosvenor square on the other you would never guess that you were in the midst of the city. The sur roundings are exquisite and most illusorily rural. You see a number of gentlemen and ladies, elegantly dressed, standing about in groups, partaking of the by-no means sumptuous fare that is being serv ed without ceremony in the tents. The scene is cheerful, elegant, bon ton, easy, and unrestrained. You catch a glimpse of the Queen, dressed in black, with here and there a relief of rich white lace, hut with no suspicion of tinsel or gaudiness about her: a plain lady, of sub stantial proportions, in the prime of life, the center of a respectful but by no means awed or abashed circle, receiving those whom she recognizes with a slight smile and a pleasant word, and the presentation of those she does not know with a slight bow. There are faces here familiar to you in the windows of the print shops—noble men, ministers, ambassadors, leaders of of society and court fashion; but there is little or no pretension of manner or car- riage. You are surprised above all at the sun- plicity, the elegant commonplace,^ of the whole thing. You may jostle Wales or the Russian Ambassador or the Lord Chief Justice without being in the least aware of the fact. The gentleman who, seeing you are a stranger asks if you will not have a sandwich and cup of coffee, may be a fashionable artist or a provincial mayor, and may bo the Duke of Tcck. If, perchance, you have been at a fete cham- petre at some great country house—say at Chatsworth or Belvoir—you say to yourself that this differs in no striking re spect from it, unless, indeed, it differs by its lesser brilliancy and its more sugges tive simplicity.—London Cor. Boston Post Mr. Bell said : Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen Committee : I he bill under consideration provides that the Federal Government shall refund to the State of Georgia the sum of tLir-> ty-five thousand five hundred and fifty five dollars and forty-two cents, which amount the State expended for the com mon cause of independence in the revolu (ionary struggle of 1777. This debt incurred for supplies purchased by the agents of tho State from Robert Farquhar, a merchant of Charles ton, South Carolina, for the troops, _. Savannah, under the command of Gener al James Jackson. These troops were engaged in the common struggle for in dependence, and utterly destitute of cloth ing. The debt vras contracted for clothe ing. After the settlement of the accounts of Georgia with the General Government, this account was audited by the auditin officers of the State, and certificates of indebtedness issued for the sum of five thousand pounds sterling. Peter Trez vant married the daughter, and only child, of Robert Farquhar, and by virtue of Lis marital rights became the heir-at-law oi Robert Farquhar, and the legal owner of these certificates of indebtedness against the State. In 1838, while a resident of Great Britain, he memorialized the Legis lature of the State, praying the payment of these certificates. The Legislature adopted the following preamble and res olution upon this subject, to-wit : “ Whcr eas, several claims upon the State have been presented to the* present ses sion of the Legislature, which claims have been dormant for many years; and whereas the policy of the State, as de clared by the acts of the past Legisla ture, (which inn nearly cotemporane ous with their creation) has prevented the authorities thereof from discharg ing and paying the same ; and inas much as it is impossible that the Leg- islature can, through any of its commit tees, investigate the same during its session ; and, public justice never re quiring the refusal of a just debt nor the payment of one of such antiquated existence, without a due investigation of the same; to the end that justice may be done the claimants and the State— “Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General As sembly met, That his Excellency the Gov ernor appoint three fit and proper per sons to investigate fully the claims of Pe ter Trezvant, R. M. D. J Elliott and Mil lege Gaulpliin, in behalf of himself and others, and that said persons report to the next session of the Legislature the entire facts connected with the same, the liability of the State to pay them or any part of them, and whether interest is al lowable upon the same, together with such facts, if an}' exist, showing the discharge of the State from such liability, and all other facts connected with each of said claims as shall he useful in determining their validity.” (Acts of 1838, page 276. Under this resolution, Joseph H. Lump kin, William Law and David C. Campbell were appointed to discharge the duties which it imposed—gentlemen distinguish ed for their talents, their learning, and their virtues. They were charged with the duty of “reporting to the next session of the Legislature entire facts connected with the same, the liability of the State to pay the claim, or any part of the same, and whether interest was allowable upon the same, together with such facts, if any exist, showing the discharge of the State from liability, and all other facts connect ed with each of said claims as shall he useful in determining their validity.' It will be perceived that every question of law and fact involving the validity of this claim and the liability of the State to pay it, was submitted to this commis sion. After a most searching, thorough and able investigation of the justice of the claim, the consideration upon which it was based, and the question as to wheth er it was barred by lapse of time, and at a time when the popular judgment and prej udice were opposed to the payment, they unanimously reported in favor of tire jus tice of the claim and the obligation of the State to pay it. In their very elaborate report they say, (I quote from'the origin nal manuscript report now before me,) we have, as we conceive, fully establish ed that the certificates were rightfully is sued—that they are genuine, and that they had never been paid." Again: “Thereasons which have now been assigned have brought us to the conclusion that the State is bound by ev ery principle of honor and justice to re deem the certificates held by Mr. Trez vant.” „ Notwithstanding the thorough exami nation of the facts and legal questions in volved and the decided conviction and judg ment in favor of the justice of this claim, and obligation resting on the State to pay it,the Legislature hesitated for years before ytftlring provision for its payment. Final ly, pressed with the irresistible conviction of its justice, the Legislature in 1847 passed an act which was approved ‘25th December of that year, providing for the payment of the sum of twenty-two thous and two hundred and twenty-two dollars ture to examine it, by the act of the Leg islature providing for its payment, and by the report of the committee of the Senate, in 1860, to which reference has already been made. Unquestionably the State of Georgia expended this sum iu prosecuting tin common struggle for independence iE 1777. She now asks that it be paid bad; to her, as like indebtedness or expendi- tuies of other States, nil for the saint purpose and in the common cause, liavt been repaid to them. This claim was not presented by the State, and therefore, not allowed iu the adjustment of the accounts between the Federal Government and the State, under the assumption act of 1790. because its justness was not admitted by the State at the time of the settlement. But after the settlement in 1794, this claim s audited by the auditing officers of the State, the amount due ascertained, and rtificates of indebtness issued. It is sup posed that the non residence of Mr. Trez- vant accounts for the delay in presenting it for payment. When presented, no means could be found to avoid the pay ment, except the repudiation of a just debt, which involved a violation of faith and a sacrifice of honor, for which the State was not prepared, and of which her patriotic people were incapable. Shall the Federal Government reirn burse the State f Congress passed an act, which was ap proved 5th August, 1790, by which the Federal Government assumed, and pro- vided for the payment of all the debts of the several colonies, or States, incurred by them in the prosecution of the com mon cause, and appointed a commission to adjust the matters of account between the general government and the several States, glowing out of expenditures made in support of the war prosecuted by tho Colonies against Great Britain for the stablishment and maintainance of our independence. Under this law the ac ounts were settled, the States being barged with the amounts advanced to them by the Colonial Congress, and cred ited with the amounts severally and res pectively expended by them.

The North American is right. The men who hasten to sink their money in tho wild cat enterprises of the Pacific const would find a safe and profitable re turn from an investment in Northern Georgia. Immense fortunes, perhaps could not be so easily or so speedily realized, neither could large amounts be so cx pcditiously squandered, but a sure and lucrative return could be secured. Al ready mining of every kind has received a fresh impetus in Georgia, and foreign capital and foreign immigration are being tinned in this direction. When the geo logical siu-vey of the State ordered at the last session of the Legislature sliall be completed, and the results of this great work published to the world, we believe that immediate benefits will be experienc ed. Heretofore our riches have been valueless because hidden and unknown, but when our stores are exposed to the gaze and brought to the knowledge of the world, they will at once become sources of revenue, besides adding great ly to our population. Georgia will yet become—and at no late day—as impor taut a mining and manufacturing centre as the great State of Pennsylvania. Carmagnole- Of this word used by Mr. Stephens in the course of his 'article on Mr. Hill, an exchange says: A Carmagnole was the name of a pe culiar jacket used in France, long before the revolution. Several if the prominent Jacobins wearing it, it was adopted as the special dress of the faction and meant then j the jacket of the Jacobin. But its use! elsewhere.

The term Carmagnole as recently applied by Mr. Stephens to Mr. Hill well stigmatizes the occasional out bursts of the latter gentleman. The moment you think you are "too good” for your place of labor, then the place becomes too good for you. the passage of the act providing for its payment, approved December 25, 1847. Certainly the State would not have been justified in presenting to the Feder- xl Government, for payment a claim, the justice and validity of which she did not admit: and the fact that the claim was ei ther unknown, or disputed was a suffi cient reason why it was not or should not have been presented for payment, by the State, in her settlement with the govern ment of the United States. The act of Congress of August 5, 1790, established and settled the policy of the Government in the assumption of the debts incurred by the several States on account of the common cause of inde<- pendence. It has been the policy of Con gross to proride for the payment of such debts, where they existed, as were not in cluded in the settlement between the sev eral States and the General Government, refer to an instance illustrating the truth of this proposition.

The surrender of Yorktown closed the war before these troops were called into the service. The officers and privates claimed, under the stipulation, their half-pay. Virginia declined to pay on the ground that no sendee had been rendered. This claim was hi existence at the time the accounts of Virginia with the General Government were settled. They were not included in the settlement.— Afterwards Virginia opened her courts and allowed the claimants to test the va liiy of their demand. Suits were insti tuted and judgments were rendered in fa vor of the claimants against the State. Congress passed an act in 1848, which provided for the repayment to Virginia of the sums thus recovered. This pro vision is contained in an appropriation act, and is in the following words : “For epayment to Virginia of money paid by that State, under judgment of her courts against her, to revolutionary officers and soldiers and their representatives, for half pay and commutation of half pay, a sum not exceeding eighty one thousand one hundred and seventy three dollars and seventeen cents, provided, however, that the agent of said State shall deposit au tlienticated copies of the acts or judg- ents under which the money was paid by the State of Virginia. (XL S. Stats, at Large, Vol. IX, p 297.] Georgia, like Virginia, denied her lia bility to pay this claim. Virginia opened her courts to the claimants against her, who instituted suits, aud recovered judg ments. Georgia referred the claim against her to commissioners, whose investigation and report established the justice of this claim, and her Legislature passed au act providing for its payment. Virginia paid the claim against her, and Congress passed an act to repay the amount to Virginia. Georgia paid the claim against her and asks Congress to repay—to do that justice to her which was done to Virginia. If it was the duty of the General Government to pa}’ Virginia, why is it not the duty of the Government to pay Geor gia ? These debts were contracted by the States in both cases for the same purpose —the public defense. In the case of Vir ginia the debt was paid for service which was never rendered. In the case of Georgia number of I > n this State, it in, on motiun of counsel. Ordered that said Defendant appearand answer at the next term of this Court, else the case be considered in de- fault and the Plaintiff allowed to proceed. And it is further ordered that this Rule be pubii-ned iu the “Union &. Recorder” for forty days previous to the next term of this Court, by the Clerk. SANFORD & FURMAN, 1‘1'ffs Att’y.

And | actually engaged in the service, for this sum the State issued her bearing date on the 1st day of January, There the"Stole Vssuld her' bonds can. therefore,'be no question of the jus tree of this claim or the liability of the Federal Government to pay it. 1848, at six per cent interest per annum Those bonds were paid at maturity on the 1st of January, 1858, the principal and interest amounting to the sum of thirty-five thousand five hundred and fif ty-five dollars and -forty-two cents, which amount this bill provides the General Government shall refund to the State of Georgia. The State presented her memorial to the 36th Congress, praying the passage of an act refunding this amount to her. This memorial was referred in the Senate to the Committee on Revolutionary Claims. Alter a careful examination of the claim the committee was unanimous ly of the opinion that the claim was just and ought to be paid, and unanimously reported a bill for that purpose. The bill was not reached on the calendar and thus failed. [See Senate Report, No. 94,1st session 36th Congress.] [See Senate Bill No. 231, 1st session 36th Congress.] [Senate Bills and Resolutions, part 1 fo 258:] The existence and justice of this claim, the consideration upon which it was based, the obligation of the State to pay it, and the payment by the State are all abund antly established by the report of the commissioners appointed by the Legisla- Disordekly Scenes in Congress.—In no department of the government is the demoralization, which has been the legiti mate result of Radical ascendancy, been more conspicious than in the House of Representatives. According to a Wash' ington letter, that body seems to be grow ing more and more boisterous and unru ly every day. The writer says: “Busi ness is transacted amid the greatest con fusion, and this was particularly the case on Saturday last. Towards the close of the session several amendments were of fered to the pending bill by Mr. Law rence, of Ohio, but a number of members, for some cause or other, seemed deter- mined that he should not address the House, and as soon as he opened his mouth they drowned his voice by such calls as “vote,” “vote,” “hear,” “hear,” “hear.” This scene was kept up for over half an hour, and Mr. Maynard, who was in the chair, was utterly powerless fo stop it.” There is no denying the fact that under tiie new regime the House has deteriora ted as well in the character as in the color of a portion of its members.
