moba singular that the coroner's verdict has never heen made public. The closing sentence of the “statement of a muscler,” discloses a prescience on the part of the author who had “the honor" to make it almost as wonderful as the narrative itself. Who but the agent of a Freedmen’s Bureau would have known 'that the murder which was* intended for old man Perry, who is a good old man, with a good character from his old master, and twenty-five bags of cotton, “ was only the beginning of these murders.” Who but-a “loil ” patriot could have had tlio presence of mind under such alarming cir cumstances (an hundred men killing one poor sick boy and puttinghim into a feather bed ana"buming'’allMJto haVtf'called for a troop of cavalry to be stationed sin the Dis trict .

City,of Savannah: Gentlemen: We, the undersigned, hereby make application to ybinr Honorable body, either to lease'or seU ns on' such terms as may he considered fair and eqnitable,s strip of ground at the foot of Drayton street on the Bluff, which can be filled up or arched over and otherwise improved by the erection of suitable buildings for offices or other purpo ses.

It is the opinion of your petitioners, that it would he a benefit to the city in a pe cuniary point of view to make these improve ments herself; it would probably involve the cash expenditure of fifteen thousand dollars or thereabouts. If, however, the city does not feel equal to such an expenditure, of fair and equitable terms can be made by your petitioners either by a sale of( the ground, at an appraised value by your city assessors, or by a lease of the premises for a certain number of years, the improvements at the expiration of said lease to revert to the city, your petitioners will be glad to undertake a project which we think TOYS, FANCY GOODS, &c., •eiin.ft J _ .. - .4 ± DAVID R.

Election Bribery in England.—The Eng lish law against bribery, passed at the last ses- . sion of Parliament, provides that where a bribery is committed with the knowledge of consent of a candidate, he shall he disquali fied for seven years from sitting in the House of Commons, or being an elector, or holding a municipal or judicial office. His election will be rendered void by even employing any person as canvasser who has within seven years previously been convicted of bribery. Receivers and givers of bribes are liable to the same penalty.

Recognizing this fact, the carpet-bagger does not want peace. He , desires strife, and since he has failed to inaugurate conflict and violence between the outraged whites and the blacks, no longer his passive dopes, he seeks by misrepresentation and falsehood to excite the prejudice and resentment of the Northern masses against our people, and thus furnish a pretext for the nsmpations, oppression and Tax on Whiskey.—It is said an effort is to be made by a whiskey ring,. having large amounts on hand, to raise it to two dollars per gallon. Commissioner Rollins thinks' that Congress will not entertain the proposi tion, as his report shows that the receipts from the whiskey tax are largely in excess, under the workings of the new law, of the receipts for a corresponding period under the old two dollar law. It is said, the receipts will reach the estimates of the Committee of Ways and Means. Decline in Natural Increase.—Mr. Allen, of Norridgewock, Maine, says the cause of the falling off in school retnrns in that State daring the last two years is not on account of carelessness or mistakes in the return of the number of children, but that the children are becoming less in number yearly, except in manufacturing towns or where there is an in flux of foreign population. , Forty years ago ten children were a common number in a family, now the average iB hut four. f 116 , Government of Russia,.not content to assimilate or to destroy the Polish nationality, by forbidding the use of the Polish language to Catholics as well as Jews in that unhappy country, has also published an ukase of the Emperor, enforcing the use of the Russian: languages in the family, the school, and even the churches of the German and Lutheran populations of the provinces of Courland, Esthonia, and Livonia.
