Reliable reports from Hivuu iUU that a negro riot broke imt there on the 23d alt. In the locality known u Lot Setio*. The cause of the trouble was that the black* were kept iu alavery while those negroes w ho surrendered at the close of the rebel lion have been liberated. The police, sword In band, dispersed the rioters, and only a few arreaU were made. In the elections for members of the Ger man Parliament Tuesday the National (.literal* were successful at Hamburg,Leipaic and Augsburg. The speech of Gladstone on the Harring ton resolution revived Interest in the mat ter. It Is said to have been one of the finest efforts of the ex-Premier's life, and probably the culminating point in the pres ent discussion. Iu the House of Commous, Mr. Plimsoll moved tbe rejection on its third reading of the bill to grant an annuity to the Duke of Connaught. After much debate the motiou was rejected. Yellow fever report* in New Orleans for the twenty-four hours ending at noon yes terday showed thirty-one new cases and five deaths. A colored steward named Woodward and a colored cook named Smith, of the steamer General Shepiey, recently arrived at Liver- l»ooi from »w t cleans, became engaged In a tight Tuesday. Smith drew a knife on hi* opjs.aent when the latter produced a pistol and instantly shot him dead. Wood ward wa» arrested. | A royal decree has been published defin ing the duties of the Provincial Governors ..f the six newly created provinces of Cnba. To be eligible to the office a man must I** over thirty-five years of age, and have M-rvcd the State in a superior executive {Hjailion at least eight years. He will lie the superior officer of bin-province, and see that tbe laws, orders and decrees received by him are faithfully executed. He is in all thing* subject to the Governor Gen eral. duly on extraordinary and pressing occasion* can he exercise personal author ity, and then, a* soon as possible, he must report hi* action to the Governor General. The New York Belting and Packing Com pany has arranged with its creditors to pay- ten per cent, of its indebtedness on the first of September, and the remainder in equal quarterly instalments,running through thirty-six months from September 1st. Strenuous efforts are being made in Mem phi* to prevent the introduction of yellow fever there. A strict quarantine has been established ugalnst New Orleans and Vicks burg, and the city i* being thoroughly dis infected and cleansed. There seem® possibility of the fever reaching Memphis this year. Edward Orr, of St. Louis, fatally shot lawyer of that city, who had defended him from criminal charges, and who kept his valise until the fee* were paid. A remarkable robbery was jx-rpetrated ,,n the private bank of a Mr. Holmes In Bloomington. Illinois, on Tuesday- night. The bank was entered #1*1,000 in bonds and #4,000 in currency was carried off. The book describing the t>oud* was much mutilated, but, as they represent real estate loans, they are mostly not negotiable. The safe was ojiened bv combination, supposed to be known only to Holm* and a clerk, who is absent. The first bale of new cotton fr Mississippi valley has l*een received in New i Irlcan*. It was classed as good middling and brought 1S% cents. This is said to be the finest first bale received in that city tor years. The Post Office Department will soon give directions regarding international postal ar rangements effected by the recent Postal Congress in Paris. The Mexic an General Pedro Valdex, who met Mackenzie when the latter was in Mcxl «•<., with about fifteen hundred men, Is sta tioned in the mountains, watching Mack' zie's movements. La*t Thursday upwards of sixty head of Texas cattle were driven across the Bio Grande to feed Valdez' army. At the time that Escobedo was captured be was sick at a hacienda, the ov which was threatened with death unless he revealed Escobedo's whereabout*. To save tbe tuan Escobedo surrendered. The llanlon-Ross boat race resulted in a victory for Hanlon, Boss having been thrown ■ >ut of his boat by the breaking of an oar lock. * in account of the recent war preparati. the supplementary estimate for the British army amounts to £1,545,000. Iron mill owners of Philadelphia have notified their workmen of a ten per cent. . reduction In their wages from the 15th of September next. The men are greatly dis satisfied. Uncle Joe Medill. of the Chicago 7ri- bunr, charges the New York UeraUl with having changed front on the third term quest ion since it shouted “Ciesarism" so vociferously three years ago. lie says the llrraid, by keeping one of its ablest, roost skillful, and »>C8t_ paid correspon dents constantly w)th General Grant in Europe, to magnify all he says, to cm Imllish much that he does not say, to ex etrine the prerogative of a reporter and make him say what he ought to say carefully eliminating all foolishness and small talk from his conversations and speeches—is doing more stimulate the third term movement than all the other newspapers combined. Uncle Joe talks that way now, tiecaiisc, with his present lights, he is not certain that it would be a judicious move on the part of the Radical party to make Grant their standard-bearer in 1H80. Joey is a little scary of the third lerm scheme just now. But wait till Grant returns from Europe as the first Napoleon returned from Elba, anti i* received by the whisky rings, the money monopolists, the bondholders, and the grand army of office seekers, with an ovation such a* the world Las never seen, and Joey will be among the first to throw up his hat for the savior of the nation, and his JYibune will be among Hie loudest iu demanding his nomination for a thin! term. Kellogg. ,Sherman, and other Republi- eans testify that there were more votes |K)llod for the Tilden than the Hayes ticket iu Louisiana. But they justify the action of the returning board in throw ing out over 8,000 majority on the ground that there were disturbances and intimidation. The evidence, however, is conclusive that there was never a more peaceful election ia any State than in I»uisiana on the 6th of November, 1876. It is also proved that the Republicans arranged to have voters of their party remain away from the polls in one or two Democratic parishes, so that they might take their evidence and have an excuse for throwing out the votes of those parishes. The visiting statesmen dwell upon the “lawful" sets of the re turning board. The laws of that State, under lwyonet rule, were made for thg purpose of defeating and defrauding the people. But in 1876 even those laws were violated. ■r. Stephen Blags and Ceraers. In his recent address to tbe people of Lexington, Georgia, Hon. A H. Steph ens uttered some striking truth* on tbe subject of the corrupt “rings" which hare cursed the country and controlled the government during the past ten years. Alluding to them be said « "But. my friends, there is another thing. The wot Id is governed too much by corners and rings. There is a ring combination of wheat men—a wheat corner. there is a meat corner and a corn corner. These are organized rings. They control the prices of the wheat crop, they simply fix the figures and put their own prices on them There are also cotton corners. They know how much cotton is to be made. They w&tcb it as ODe would watch the bee* working through a glass beehive. They know how much honey is to be made, and they take it out, leaving lust enough to keep the bees alive. [Laughter.] They don't leave enough to the farmer to support a dead mule * hide. Rings govern every thing We want to break them down: the whole thing must be broken. My course has been against them and that's whv. perhaps, they don’t want me back in Congress. Their lobbyists are organ ized against the toiling millions of the country. I am not stirring up strife against capital; but you must send men to Congress whom you know to be hon est—men of ab.litv and integrity (and I d" not say this in reference to myself) who will break down these rings if they can. ” (Great cheering.) Such sound Democratic sentiments are none the less worthy of commendation and applause because they are uttered by an admirer and defender of General Grant, the head centre of all the “rings' and “corners," of the “whisky ring" and the “black Friday comer," and of the ■rganized banditti who, under bis admin 1st rat ion. were protected by Federal courts and bayonets while they set State governments and laws at defiance and robbed and plundered “the toiling mil lions of the country" with ruthless im punity. Mr. Stephens says ‘ 'rings govern every thing,” that “we want to break them down," that “the whole thing must be broken." Mr. Stephens never spoke a greater truth. But if we are to break up this organized system of corrupt rings and corners it must be by organized op position to them. They have already proved themselves stronger than the gov ernment which tolerated them, and if they are to be broken it must be by an organised power stronger than them selves. Where is the country- to look for such an organized power but in the united, harmonious. National Democratic party ? While that party controlled the government the country was prosperous, and ring rule in tbe administration of the government was unknown. If the government is ever brought back to its original purity, if "rings" and “corners" are ever de prived of their power for evil and the “toiling millions of the country" reliev ed from tbe grinding oppression which Mr. Stephens has so vividly described, it will not be accomplished by individual effort, not by statesmen who “tote their own skillet," but by the patriotic- efforts of a united, harmonious and resolute National Democratic- party. Hsseit Ms Sherui as a Visiting Governor Rice, of Massachusetts, doesn't believe in competitive examina tions. He was one of the first to suggest such examinations for West Point and Annapolis appointments, but be soon found that those lads who had good memories and little energy of character, succeeded in getting the appointments, and generally proved utter failures u* military or naval men. In fact, some of i he rejected lads at these competitive ex aminations. who were afterward appoint ed to fill the place of the big memoried failures, turned out admirable officers. -• It want's a boy with go-abead and good grit, and not a gentle lad with a big head, for a military officer,” says the Governor, who adds: “A boy may have the making of a college professor in him, but it won't do to attempt to make a general of him.’’ Right or a Bank to Protect Itself. —In tbe suit of Jacob against the First National Bank of Cincinnati, recently tried in the Superior Court of Cincinnati, the court decided that where a bank re ceives on deposit, as cash, sight drafts of a depositor, the bank is not bound to pay checks drawn against the fund after default in the payment of the drafts. The implied condition is that the drafts are to be paid, and when the condition is broken the bank has a right to withdraw its credit, and this right is superior to that of the depositor to check against the credit fund. In the course of his examination be fore the Potter Committee the other day, Honest John Sherman produced a couple of letters, which, though cautiously writ ten. throw a gleam of light on the vil laioous conspiracy by which Tilden was defrauded of the electoral vote of Loui siana while they reveal the fact that Shennan was present in Louisiana for the double purpose of holding Hayes up to the conspiracy, and, by his counsel, assistance, bribes, and promises stiffen the returning board in the perpetration of the frauds which were necessary to secure his accession to the Presidency. It will be seen from these letters that if Hayes at that time had qualms of conscience, and was inclined to shrink from a participa tion in the meditated villainy of his par tisans. it was the business of Shennan to reassure and encourage him to stand firm, while he and his confederates were "gathering" the fraudulent “testimony and putting it in the legal form" to con su inmate the fraud. Sherman's letter shows what was the true mission of the visiting statesmen in Louisiana, and as such is a valuable contribution to tbe history of the most stupendous fraud of the century. For this reason we present the letters entire, without further com ment: It is now tbe Moslems' turn to report blood-curdling outrages, anti they are making the most of it. A dispatch from Constantinople say# that the British Embassy there '' has received official re ports of continued wanton destruction of Mussulman life and property in the Phitlippopolis district by the Bulgarians and Russians. Tbe horrors committed are so revolting that their publication must create conviction that unless a remedy is found the new condition of the country will be more deplorable than under Moslem domination." Certain parties in Xew York are urging that the government make a prac tical test of actual resumption by placing the hands of the Assistant Treasurer at New York a million or a million and a half of coin, with instructions to pay it out freely upon demand. In this way, it is claimed, the now merely nominal prem ium on gold could be broken, and the return to specie basis be an accomplished fact. Judge O. M. Roberts, who has been nominated by the Democrats for Gov ernor of Texas, L an old Texan, has represented the republic iq its Congress, was President of the convention that passed the ordinance of secession, was elected United States Senator after the war at the time Throckmorton was made Governor, and was removed from office by lh£ United States military' authorities. Ex Governor Fenton, of New York, who sailed for Europe last week to at tend the International Monetary Confer ence at Paris, stated before his departure that he was in favor of bi-metallic cur rvney Hakmi.es* Dueling.—The latest way of fighting a duel is to load the weapon without eitiici “hot or ball. This method was tried the other day 12 Chio with the happiest results. Both men were l oughly frightened, but neither was hurt, and the principals of course expressed themselves as thoroughly satisfied, their honor having been vindicated. State or Louisiana, Ex. Department, New Orleans, November 23,1876. Mt Dear Sib—I have not written yoa sooner, for the progress of our visitation will be known to you through the papers sooner than from my letter, and the tele graph office here is more public than a Sher- iff'ssale. We sometimes hear of private telegram* before they are delivered. The action of the returning board has thus far been open aad fair, and only confirms the general result shown before. We are now approaching the contested parishes. To five „f them viz : Baton Rouge, East and West Feliciana. Morehouse and Ouachita, the evi dence of intimidation is so well made out on paper that no man can doubt as to the just exclusion of their vote. In these par ishes alone we ought to have a majority of 7,000, but under the law the entire return must be excluded of all election districts where intimidation has affected or changed the result. If this is done the result will give the Hayes electors majorities aggre gating 24,111 and the Tilden electors £j.B33. but in almost every parish the offlfl) re turn varies somewhat from the stated ma jorities. and thus far slightly reduces the Republican majority. The vote of each dis puted parish has thus far been laid aside, and among them are two parishes where most foolish blunder or something worse was made in omitting from the Republican tickets the names of all the electors but the two Senatorial and one district elector. The Democrats •Jaim this will lose over two thousand votes; >ut our friends, whose iuformation we have generally found confirmed, say It will lose ut at most 1,193 votes. The law seems con clusive, that the defective ballots cannot, be counted for any electors but those named on the ticket, though it is conclusively shown that tbe remaining electors were omitted by reason of tbe mistaken idea that the district could only vote for one elector. The whole trouble has grown out of the fact that in these two parishes a candidate for District Judge was not named on the ticket printed by the State Committee. We undertook to correct this by printing new tickets, which were voted in those parishes. The result of this blunder will leave the poll so close as to render it probable that one or more of the Tilden electors would have a majority. There are other parishes where the organized intimidation was not so general as in the parishes named, though in single election precincts it was effective. These parishes where- formal protests have been tiled are Bienville, Bessier, Caldwell, Franklin, Grant, Iberia. Lincoln, Richland and Sabine. How far the proof in these parishes will sustain the pro tests we cannot judge till the evi dence is heard before the returning board. We are now collecting the testimony as to the bulldozed parishes. It seems more like the history of hell than of civilized and Christian communities. The means adopted are almost incredible, but were fearfully cflselH* nos an Ignorant and suiierstitious people. That you would have received at a fair election a large majority in Louisiana no honest man can question ; that you did not receive a majority is equally clear. But that intimidation of the very- kind and ua- ture provided against by the Louisiana law did enter into and control the election in more election polls than would change the result and give you the vote, I believe as firmly as that I write this. The difficulty of gathering this testimony and putting it in the legal form has been very great, but I believe has been fully met. The whole case rests upon the action of the returning board. I have carefully observed them,and have formed a high opinion of Gov. Wells and Col. Anderson. They are firm, judi cious and, as far as I can iudge, thoroughly honest and conscientious. They are per sonally familiar with the nature and degree of intimidation in Louisiana. They can see that tbe intimidation a* organized was with a view of throwing out Republican parishes rather than en dangering Democratic parishes. Our little party are now dividing out the disputed parishes. with the view of a careful exami nation of every paper and detail. Many are impatient of the delay, and some have gone home. We will probably be able to keep about ten here. We have lucurred some liabilities for reporting, printing, etc., but hope the Republican National Com mittee will make this good. If not, we must provide for it ourselves. We are in good hope and spirit, not wishing the re turn in your favor unless it Is clear that it ought to be so, and not willing to be cheated out of it, or to l>e "bulldozed” or intimi dated. The truth is palpable that you ought to hare the vote of Louisiana, and we believe that you will have it by an honest and fair return, according to the letter and spirit of the law of Louisiana. Very truly yours, John Sherman. To this Ueneral Hayes responded as fol lows: Columbus, O., November 27, 1876. Mv Dear Sir—I am greatly obliged for your letter of the 23d. You feel, I am sure, as I do about this whole business. A fair election would have given us about forty electoral rotes at the South—at leaat that many. But we are not to allow our friends to defeat one outrage and fraud by another. There must be nothing crooked on our part. Let Mr. Tilden have the place by violence, intimidation aud fraud, rather than under take to prevent it by means that will not bear the severest scrutiny. I appreciate the work doing by tbe Republicans who have gone South, and am especially proud of the acknowledged honorable conduct of those from Ohio. The Democrats made a mistake in sending so many ex-Republicans. New converts are proverbially bitter and unfair towards those they have recently left. I trust you will soon reach the end of the work and be able to return In health and safety. Sincerely, yours, R. B. Hates. BY TELEGRAPH. THE GEORGIA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Third An anal Csavntisa Special Talagram to tka Morwino 9mm. Macon, July 31.—The third annual meet ing of the Georgia State Horticultural So ciety was held here to-day in Masonic Hall. President Berckmans, in his opening ad dress. congratulated the society upon the fact that tbe number of members in attend ance is much larger than ever, and that a greatly increased interest ia manifested in fruit growing. He mentiohed as facts of which Georgia may well be proud, that Georgia had a greater number of representatives in the last two meetings of the National Agricultu ral Congress than any Southern State, and Tery nearly equal to the most numerously represented State of the East anl West; that at the last meeting a silver medal awarded to a gentleman from Southwest Georgia for one of tbe finest dishes of apples on exhibition, and that during the present on Georgia peaches have been quoted at a much higher price in the Northern mar kets than those from other Southern States. The display of fruits of all kinds Is very fine—uncommonly so, if the unfavorable season is taken into consideration. There are about one thousand plates now displayed in the hall. The exhibition will continue to-morrow. ArTERNOON AND EVENING SESSION. During tbe afternoon and evening sessions the catalogue of fruits was discussed, during which the members gave their individual experience as to quality and time of ripen ing fo( shipping, ar.d as to quality and value for market and home use, eliciting much valuable information, which will be embodied in the published proceedings. The fair and exhibition of the fruits is fixed for to-morrow. All the old officers were unanimously re-elected and the mem bers are enthusiastic on the subject of rais ing fruit.

CAPTURE OF ESCOBEDO. It is astonishing, remarks a Northern cotemporary, that tbe journals which af- fert to have such a lively interest in the affairs of tailoring men, have so little to say in regard to the recent land grant de cision made by Secretary Bchatz. This decision throws open to purchase and settlement under the pre-emption laws twenty-eight and one-half millions of acres of land at #1 25 per acre. By one stroke of his pen the Secretary has re versed the land grant policy of the na tion. The lands are not taken away from the railrOad companies, the proceeds of sales are part of the railroad assets; but the lands can be obtained by pre emption as other government lands and the price is the same as for government lands. The great land monopolies constituted by the acts of Congress granting the public lands to corporations are effec tively broken up by the terms of this decision, in so far as the lands are con cerned which have not been already dis posed of. The original purpose of the government was to aid the railroads, not to create monopolies by granting a per petual control of the lands. The wise restriction as to the power of the’railroad companies to fix the price of lands, limiting that power to three years after the completion of their roads, bad been almost lost sight of. The enforcement of this three-year rule by the government comes most opportunely. That surplus of labor which appears to exist in the depart ments of mechanical and manufacturing industry is furnished a more ready means of relief by the opening up of vast stretches of tillable land along the lines of completed railway in the Western country. Nothing is more certain than that for hundreds of years to come agri-1 cultural pursuits will offer the most avail able means of independent support to laboring men in the United States. This is a resource that is substantial and un failing. Secretary’ Schurz has conferred’ a peculiar benefit upon his country by his manful decision, which has so widen ed the choice of homesteads thrown open to men desirous of settling upon and till ing land of their own.

The Now York Tribune says: “One of the many advantages which have com bined thus far to render New York city one of the most charming summer re sorts on this side of the equator is tbe facility with which one can get away from it,” etc., etc. Well, that is saying something for the great metropolis as a summer resort. Alexandria in Egypt is threatened with a water famine. The canal, thirty miles long, supplying it from the Nile has be come almost dry. It is choked with mud, the water lieing diverted by great land owners higher up for their cotton crops. The old Roman cisterns have mostly lieen broken up for building ma terial, and those remaining are too foul for use. The intensity of the late drought in Australia may be judged by the simple calculation made by the Inspector of Stock that in New South Wales alone 4.000,000 sheep were lost last year from the effects of the dry weather. At least another million must be added to ac count for tbe losses of this year and for the loss suffered by small holder* and others who were for various reasons omitted from the returns. Thus we have 5,000.000 sheep, valued at $12,500,000 at least, destroyed, directly or indirectly, through tbe lack of pasturage consequent on the drought. In 1876 the Australian colonies possessed between them over 45,000,000 sheep, of which 20.000,000 belonged to New South Wales. There is reason to believe that in Victoria and South Australia the effects of the drought were quite as disastrous as tn New Souii Wales, while in Queensland they were doubly severe. J* is not, therefore, too much to estimate that at leal! the same proportion of the flocks elsewhere were destroyed as in New South Wales, and that in Australia alone, omitting Tasmania and New Zealand, 9,000,000 sheep (lerwhed in a single summer. The British theologians have discov ered a prophecy of what has happened at Berlin in the eighth chapter of Zachariah, and tbe last verse: “In those days jt shall come to pass that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nation*, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that Go*J is with you." Tbe contentioB is that there are ten languages “of tbe nations" rep resented at Berlin—German, English, Russian, French, Italian, Turkish, Greek, Roumanian, Serb, and Magyar. The allusion to Beaconsfleld, is, of course, obvious. Galveston, Texas, July 31.—An official dispatch from Colonel Schweitzer, at King- gold Barracks, near Brownsville, confirms the capture of General Escobedo concerning which there has been some doubt. He was captured on July 20th near Curatro Genego* in the State of CoabuilA He was sick at the time and concealed at a hacienda the owner of which was threatened with death uuless he revealed Escobedo’s hiding place. Escobedo, to sate the man, surrendered himself. AUSTRIAN ADVANCE INTO BOSNIA. Vienna, Jnly 31.—An Austrian force, moving parallel with Gen. Phillopvovltch has reached Novi unresisted. Official reports from the Bosnian frontier state that the followers of a Turkish agita tor who raised an insurrection against the Ottoman authority at Lerajaro and was de posed as Civil Governor, stormed and plun dered tbe armory after a sanguinary conflict with the gendarmes. Gen. Phillopvovitoh telegraphs he receiv ed cordial addresses at Brad and Derbeud. REDUCTION OF WAGES. Philadelphia, July 31.—The irou mill owners of this city held a meeting three weeks since and gave their hands notice that a reduction of ten per cent, would be made in their wages after the first of Sep tember. The hands refused to submit to it, but have been allowed until the 15th of Sep tember to decide whether they will accept or not. If they have not then decided the reduction will certainly take place. MEXICANS WATCHING M'KENZIE. Galveston, Tex., July 31.—The Yen' San Antonio special says: “General Pedro Yaldez^be Mexican commander who met Mackenzie w hen the latter was in Mexico, is, with about one thousand five hundred mcD, stationed in the mountains above Eagle Pass, on the Mexican side, watching for Mackenzie. Last Thursday upwards of sixty head of Texas cattle were driven across the Rio Grande to feed Valdez’s soldiers.’' SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATE OF THE BRITISH ARMT. London, July 31.—The army supple mentary estimate for additional expendi tures in consequence of the war between Russia and Turkey was issued to-day. It amounts to £1,545,500. . in the House of Commons, llayter (Liber al) gave notice of a resolution declaring this exjienditure extravagant and burthen- some to the tax payers, and ought not to be sanctioned by Parliament. MORE ABOUT THE HANLON-ROSS BOAT RACE. Riverside, X. B., July 31.—Great excite ment wes manifested at the starting of tbe Hanion-Rotfs race this arternoon, but the upsetting of Ross’ lioat dampened the ardor of the spectators. Ross says the spring of the oar lock worked out and he upset, breaking the box of the boat. The official time of the race was 36:58. CONCENTRATION OF SERVIAN TROOPS. London, July 81.—A* Reuter telegram from Belgrade states that the concentration of Servian troops continues, and reinforce ment* are going to the ariny of observation ou the Bosnian frontier. The whole stand ing army, uumbcriDg twenty thousand men and half of the militia, are still under tns. ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN CONSUL. Liverpool, July 31.—The Chamber of Commerce presented an address to General Fairchild, United States Consul in this city, on tho occasion of bis quitting tbe Ameri can Consulate. The New York Sun thinks Mr. Hayes' heart has long since ceased to bleed tor the poor African. Otherwise the fraud ulent administration might show some interest in the peculiar methods by which hundreds of industrious Americans of frican descent have been induced to aliandon thrifty nom«s, have been strip ped of their means under one pretense another, transported across the oceun In a plague-stricken vessel, and landed penniless on an unhealthy shore, where their prospects of a livelihood are very cheerless. The facts indicate fraud and criminal carelessness, and a thorough in vestigation should be made before more poor colored people are enticed away from their native land. The Albany (N. Y.) Argus says; “ If Hayes is rightful President of the United States, then Packard was wrongfully dis possessed of the office of Governor of Lou isiana. If Packard was never Governor of Louisiana, then Hayes has no rightful title to the office of President of the Uni ted Stotes. The testimony of Major E. A. Burke shows how it came that Hayes was inaugurated President, and Nicholls secured his office as Governor. It is in credible that the Republican leaders should agree to dispossess Packard, if they believed him rightfully entitled to the office of Governor. Men do not thus surrender; they will fight first. The fact that they subverted the Packard govern ment shows that they denied its right to exist; for how could they consent to set aside any government, and especially any Republican government, if they recog nized the rightfulness of its title ? This denial of the right of Packard to be Gov ernor, however, carries with it an effect ual impeachment of the title of Hayes. The intrigue by which.this was consum mated is revealed in Major Burke's tes timony. " Perhaps the most severe measure in tended to drive the Chinese out of Cali fornia is a law passed at the last session of the California Legislature restricting the exhumation and removal of the bodies of the dead. The act provides that bodies shall not be exhumed without a permit granted by the proper authorities on the certificate of the Coroner or of the physician who last attended the dead per son, as to the cause of death. For each permit the sum of ten dollars must be paid, and (he body must be enclosed in a metallic casket A similar permit is made necessary for the transportation of a disinterred body through streets and highways. Violation of the law is pun ishable by a fine of from fifty dollars to five hundred dollars, or imprisonment for from thirty days to six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. In order that the act may affect the Chinese only, it is specially provided that it shall not apply to the removal of the remains of dead persons from one cemetery to another within the same county.

Brown was interviewed at Los Angeles, California, a few days ago. The ex- Govcroor made a plain case of tbe health ful condition of things iu Georgia, and among other things said that Alexander Stephens was an Independent candidate for Congress from the Eighth district, and that he would certainly be elected, and if he were in his district he would vote for him. How do the organized like Governor Brown's independence However they may like it, they need not be surprised at it. The Democracy who remember the dark days of Radical supremacy in Georgia, will not be aston ished to find ex-Governor Joe Brown sympathizing with any movement that tends to tbe disorganization and over throw of the Democratic party,to which he owes so much and which he ccserted in the hour of its sorest trial.
