«kjv1 rii'*. .•»- tlons.
• Ills now notortoaa tbit thto gentleman, a resident
. 1 * *of Kingston, Ulster county, has not only failed for an
enormous amonnt and flea from the country, but
that the main cauaeof hie flight wras in odnaequenco
of bis guilt aa a forger to a targe amount. We learn
• from a Poughkeepsie paper—the Daily Prut—that
,. lie obtained^$20,000 from tbe Poughkeepsie Bank,
$10,000 from the Catsklll Bank, *20,000 from the
• Kingston banka, a large amount In Newburg, and,
Indeed, that be has •* touched 1 till along shore. What
amount of this paper Uforged Is not known, butsome
of It has already been pronounced worthier. One
' , draft for $10,000, held by a Poughkeepsie bank, was
accepted by a responsible broker In New York, and
Is therefore considered good, iirespectivo of the char
acter of tbe endorsements.
> The New York banks and the relatives of the ope-
-in -*«’•- ♦ "*•— arc said to be
preferred bis
, whose claims
will sweep away every dollarof available property. *
*f ■" ' It is said that bis wife’s friends suffer from two to
throe hnudred thousand dollars, bnt the New York
t correspondontof the Prut intimates tbatthis item Is
not authentic. They are worth three-quarters of a
■ ; , " million, and conferred upon Forsyth unlimited confi
dence in bis operations, and it seems that he used it
V. , With piostcriminal recklessness. One transaction is
V, •' cjted, where he has the use of about $100,000 of rail-
■ road script, to pledge as collateral security. For a
i .* - -time It waa not known what had become of these se
curities, but it has been discovered that he transfer
red tho bonds to a broker, in exchange for a letrer of
credit to a credit to a large amount on a London
bouse,
The Kington Journal alludes to this statement of
■.«: tha Press, and says the facts stated with reference to
his fleeing tbe country are too true. He left in the
#*'•' • Africa on the 24th nit., without communicating his
* i - intention even to bis wife or friends. It was not
' known that he bad left for some days, and the' cause
• 'of his departure did not IrauBplre until more recently.
,Th‘dJ Mr. Forsyth has been gality of forgery, is no
• longer a matter or doubt. Tho extent of his opera
tions is alone in tho dark. Enough, bowevel-, is
{' known to warrant tho belief that forged.paper is In
e: existence to an enormous amount—probably not less
& than $100,000. Ilia operations in banks nave been
quito extensive, but the Kingston Journal learns that
they will sustain no loss whatever. It is probable
tbit the Poughkeepsie and Catakill paper spoken of
• by tho Pressis worthless.
The Kingston Journal makesthe following remarks
In addition:
It is truly said that bis relatives reposed in him
great confidence, and it may be said as truly that be
proved himself most vilely ungrateful. As regards
the trust alluded to by the Prut, we may remark
that the Hon. A. Bruyn Hosbrouck. at tbe earnest
• solicitation of Foraytb, placed certain stocks in his
. bands, to be used conditionally. It seems that this
script was transferred to a broker in New York, in
- violation of the express conditions or tho trust, and
was received, as is alleged, with a full knowledge that
the agent was transcending his power of attorney.
Qf course there will bo no difficulty In recovering
possession by the rightful owner, Irtbia bo so, and
thereisauy justice in a court of law.
While tho relatives of Forsyth will suffer to a con
siderable degree by his reckless abuse of their confi
dence, still they will not lose to tho extent asserted
- by the Press. His wife’s family is one of tho weal
thiest in the State—embracing both the Bruyn and
Hasbrouok lineage ; and while tho loss to Mr. B. par
ticularly will be heavy, still bis fortune will not be
seriously impaired.
As to tho cause of Fosyth’s failure, there can be
no legitimate doubt.. In any rational operation he
cnild and would have been sustained by a host of
firm friends; But his habits, of late, were reckless,
•• and even criminal. Ho doubtless lost heavily at the
gaming table, and tbe bears in Wail-street took ad
vantage of his folly, and fleeced him beyond measure.
There is evidently guilt hanging pver parties in New
' York, whoso transactions in this matter may come to
' light yet. And we shall be rejoiced to learn that
these operators have been bitten themselves in their
schemes to wrong Innocent and unsuspecting parties,
Of his liabilities nothing definite is yet known.—
"We hear of $30,000 in addition to the amount speci
fied by the Press. On Friday last the Sheriff took
' possession of his effects here, on an attachment sued
ont by the Bank or the Commonwealth In New York.
This proceeding wiii be contested by the assignee,
and tho result will determine tho legality of the os-
Bign maiit.
r; We regret the blow which has fallen upon IiIb rola-
' tives, who are among tho first citizens in the State.
Our sympathies arc aroused in their behalf, not only
• In cousequcnco of pecuniary losses incurred through
friendship, but for the mortification wb^ this affair
must create. While they have nothing tb regret, ex
cept, perhaps, too much friendship bestowed upon
,'onc unworthy to receive it, still it will, no doubt, bo a
fioureo of the keenest sorrow to tbe members of the
; family, possessiug as they do, tbe finest sense of
' honor. ,
t Judge Forsyth la probably safely on the Continent,
- and will, no doubt, place himself beyond the possi
bility of arrest, as we believe no extradition treaty
> exists between this country and any other govern
ment than that of Qreat Britain.

Progress of the Insurrection In Chinn.
Tho Jate advices from Europe bring farther intelli
gence tram China, from Hong Kong as late as July
7th. The revolution advances triumphantly. Tho
- Imperialist failed in their attack on Chin-Keang-foo. a
city distant half a mile from the south bauk of the
Yang-tzu River, and strongly fortified. This city is
tbe (coy to. tbe whole Chinese Empire, and to effect its
capture the Tartar chiefs were resolved to strive their
tituwst. Tho defenders had fully prepared them-
Aelvea for tip struggle by strengthening the defences,
burning down all the suburbs, and myunting heavy
cannon, Tho Shanghai fleet anchored abreast of tho
city, and opened a very heavy fire, which was re
turned from tbe stockades with great spirit. The
fleet peppered away nntil all their powder was ex
pended, when they were forced to retreat about a
mllontid a half below tho town. Tho loss on either
side was not great. During the engagement about
COO imperial troops were encamped within three miles
of tho city i;oooly looking on, lustead of attacking tho
forts on the land side. Tho fleet had returned to
Shanghai, hoartUy ffisgnatod at their want of success.
The Friend of China is of opinion that the fruitless
attack on Chln-Klang-foo decides the fate of tho Em
pire, since the Tartars with all the foreign aid they
oro likeiy to get, have been fairly obliged to give ft
up. When the British, during the war, captured
• ChimKiang-foo, and the news of its fall reached tbe
Imperial ears, an overture of peace was at once
made.
TUo imperialist military cheat at Pekin la exhaust'
od. A memorial of one of tbe boards states that up-
wards of 20,000,000 of taels of silver have been ex-
8 ended in these military operations. The Central
overnment baa now been compelled to pay in notes,
wbioh, as they represent nothing but the emptiness
of the Imperial Treasury, bavo no value in the mar
ket. In consequence or their issao aboiit 100 of the
bahklog establishments, whose notes (for sums as
low as 100 cash) form the circulating, medium in
Pekin, closed in a single day, causing immediate em
barrassment and distress among the lower classes,
whose position lias already become straightened from
the high price of grain, which bad more than doubled
in prico. Tbe Central Government, far from having
tho means of sending down reinforcomenta of Tartars
from beyond the Great Wall, may have to struggle
for existence with a local insurrection in Pokin itself.
, 'Our Town.
It Is gratifying to us, as the special chronicler of
passing events for this county, to notice tbe rapid
improvement of our Town, the evidences of wbioh
greet the eye on every hand. Many large and com
modious dwellings have already been erected, and a
considerable number are now In process of comple
tion. besides many in contemplation, which will
doubtless be bnilt. Every department of business,
and especially the mercantile and mechanical, display
unmistakable symptoms of activity and life. In midi,
tion to this, we nave two largo and flourishing schools,
ono maio, the other female, and both under the super
intendence and direction of very efficient, competent,
arid'hlgbly approved teachers. It Is truly Pleasing to

indeed of our entire community at heart, to behold

at.this .general Improvement of the Town, it,coala
not be otherwise—aorronnded as we are. by a large

Wo too-that ls to say, one of the editors of the
Georgian—got homo from the North yuterday, re
cruited In health, alter an absence of thru weeks—-
Bat we encountered, neither going North nor coming
South, any of tho accidents of which our Wilmington
contemporary complains. Thanks to tho prowess of
that noble steamship, tbe Florida, to tbe seamanship
other excellent commander, Captain Woodiium., to
the nnfailing attention of her steward, Mr. Simmons,
to tbe politeness or her parser, Mr. Clarks, and
tho efficiency of her whole crew, both passages were
mode in good time, and with much comfort to ail on
board. Leariog Savannah at ono o'clock, we reach
ed New York ahead of Uncle Sam’a inland malls,
which started seven hours earlier; and leaving New
York, at four o'clock, we arrived at Savannah about
ten hours in advance of the letters and papers which,
at the hour of onr departure, were entrusted to tbe
railway cars for conveyance South. The fatigue of
confinement day and night in a single posture was
avoided, the risk of losing baggage (trank gone one
way, owner another) was not incurred, nor extra
■ charges for poor meals eaten in a great hurry.
On tbe contrary, baggage put on the steamer at Sa
vannah, oniy waited to be called for to be forthcom
ing at New York, while tho owner, free from care,
sat up and read, or lay down and slept, or walked
and talked as suited his sweet will. As for eating,
tbe steward seemed to think that tho one great busi
ness of ail on board—and governed himself accord
ingly. An abundant breakfost—rfitto supper—two
dinners (one under the name of " lunch ") wanting
in none of tbe luxuries which fish, flesh, fowl or
fruit coaid furnish, daily appealed, and rarely la vaio
to the appetites of tlie passengers. t
Upon the whole, and to come to a sudden conclu
sion, fur the printers are impatient, we sincerely con
dole with our Wilmington friend on bis lack of first
rate steamship communication—Just such as Savan
nah enjoys—between his enterprising town and New
Yorki _ ^
' That Free Negro Appointment I
Tho public cannot have forgotten the terrific out;
cry made only a few weeks since, by the Whigs of
Georgia, against Gen. Pikhce for tbe appointment,
as they asserted, of a free negro to office in North
Carolina. The Republican, of this city, was especial
ly indignant Trad denunciatory. Among much of a
kjndred character, it addressed to its readeratthe fol
lowing stirring appeal
“ Pierce,” said the Republican, U not on!/ (riving the
government patronage to our open enemies in preference to
our known friend*—ho 1* not on!/ encouraging Abolitlon-
Uta, at tlie North, in their warfare upon our rights and in
stitution*. but he enters our ver/ citadel, the South—drives
from office a wklle man and puts a negro in Ids place—
Freemen of Georgia, will you submit quietly to such an
outrago upon your feelings, such a violation cf your politi
cal rights, such a degradation of official power, to cast con
tempt upon Southern pride and character aa this,” be., fee
Again and again was the charge reiterated, with
appropriate comments, in the same paper. Nor was
that all. Brownlow'b sheet, so, notorious for its
blackguardism, was drawn upon for remarks kindred
in character to those which appeared editorially in
the Republican.
For oor part, bolieving tlie charge utterly false, we
did not hesitate to pronounce it;a Roorback at the
gennino stamp. From an article written by us at
tho time, we extract the following sentences:
‘•We need hardly sayAhij this is, in all probability, a whig
—Roorback. Ourrcadeta understand the meaning of the
term. It obtained currency during the Presidential cam
paign of 1344, when whig papers published an extract from
a book of American travels, written by an Englishman
by the namo of Roorback, containing that distinguished
tourist’s description of a gang of negroes v hich he saw
chained together In Tennessee, with tlie name of “J. K.
Polk” branded on their backs i On due examination, it was
found that no such book had over been written—the story
was an unadulterated We. ,
•• So we have no hesitation in pronouncing the statement
to which we have alluded—if in it U contained the charge
that Pierce haaappolntad a mulatto to office in North Caro
lina, knowing him to be one.
'* What wo mean to say is, that the statement that he Jins
appointed a free negro to office, knowing him to bo a free
negro, is doubtless just as true as that James K, Polk
branded, wifh a hot iron, his name upon his negroos' b* ks.
And now, as we predicted, tbe statement used ob
the boais or so much indignation against tho Presi
dent, turns out to be wholly unfounded. Tho paper
which originated it bos made the following uncondi
tional retraction of tho charge s'..
“In spite of all the prudence and caution which they
can exercise, editors will sometimes be led into error.
Such was our caso in regard to tho appointment of
keeper of the Long Hhool Light Boat. Instead of a
mulatto having been appointed, as we are informed
on most respectable authority was the case, we learn
from a letter from a friend in Hyde, and from another
friend in this placo who was in that county last week,
that Capt. Robert Rallison has boon appointed to the
Long Shoal Boat; that Capt. R, is a very respectable
citizen of Hyde, one of the acting magistrates of the
county, and that the appointment Is the boat which
has been made in that region. Of course our inform
ants were misinformed as to who had been appointed
to tho Long Shoal Boat.”
Now, nobody can doubt that tho Savannah Repub
lican Ib cognizant of this retraction of the cnlnmny
by ita author, yet it has not suffered its readers to
know one word of it. It circulated the slander—
again and again gave to It Its endorsement—has con
vinced, doubtless, tho great majority of its readers
that it is true, that Gen. Pierce has actually appoint
ed a freo negro to office In a slave State—and yet its
editor wilfully refuses to let those whom he has misled
know thetrnthi
The-author of tho ebargo which the Republican so
zealously circulated has retracted it. That retraction
is before the eyes of tho editor of that paper, yet he
refuses to publish it I He is afraid of tlie truth, He
ba3 nTTMedhls readers and soema determined that
they shall remain under tho deception which ho has
practiced upon them. We do not intend to intimate
that ho know that tho charge was false when he gave
to it currency in Georgia. Ho may have believed- it
true, and probably did. Yet if ho now persists in al
lowing it to circulate among bis readers without tell
ing them that it U unfounded, he makes himself no
less culpable iban if he bad originally published what
he knew to bo falso.
As tho most that wo can do, wo would earnestly
call tho attention of onr readers to- this slander, and
its author’s unqualified retraction of it, and urge upon
them tho importance of acquainting tbolr Whig
neighbors and friends with tho truth. In this way,
most of those whom tho Republican has misled may
be undeceived—oven should that paper perabt, for
party purposes, in withholding from Uiom a correction
of its published statement.^

Tbe Mather Case.
A correspondent of. tbe New York Exprut, writing
from Albany, under date of the Ifltb inst, says j
l was present to-day when Mather's case waa de
cided. tbe thing was done with great propriety. Tho
presiding officer asking each Senator ana each Judge
whether the arraigned was guilty or not guilty, when

pleasure to be able to state that tbe sureties of Mr.
Collier, have veiy reoently paid over an aggregate of

Irately calm*, variable, light and head winds. On
the morning of the 7th Boptembefr,' the wind shifted
to N.N.W., Wowing a steady braeae, by wbtohUra.
schooner nude headway at the rate of about eeteu
knots an hour—tb« captain keeping topsails and Jib
furled. At eleven o’clock, on the night of the 7th
lost.,' In 1st. SS° 50’, and Ion. 76° 20', the wind all of
amdden shifted from N.N.W. to SAW.', making at
the tame time two heavy aeas. Instantly the echooner’s
masts, span, salts and rigging were all carried away.
Another heavy sea following, made a breach over her
r**—imetra-,
•trannous effort* tr
«i
quarter, and swept away her tlfc-boat. The shock—
so sodden, and it* results so temfio—wu enough to
appall tbe stoutest heart. Tbe darkness of the pit
was all around—the rain fell In drenching, overwhelm
ing torrents—the wind swept By wllh maddening fu
ry—the raging billows threatening each moment to
cany into ocean's bottomless depths the schooner and
all on beard.
Recovering from the paralysis with which oil were
momentarily seised, by the suddenness and tremeh-
dousness of tho shock, the captain’s first order, as
the only hope of safety, was that the rigging should
be ent tofelievo tho vessel of the masts. This was
immediately done. It should be mentioned, that ns
Boon as tha wind shifted, a command was given to
bring all tho sails down ton close reef, but before the
order could bo executed, tho schooner was a wreck—
well-nigh hopeless,
For thirty-six hours the gale continued, with a
heavy sea, tho vessel drifting all the while, wholly at
the mercy of the winds and waves.
On tho night of the 9th the signal of distress was
run np, and a brig, laden with lumber, name not re
membered, from Jacksonville, bound to Boston, was
spoken. The captain of the brig at once hove-to his
vessel, and offered all the assistance in his power,
having, however, at bis disposal; only a sraall.storm-
trysail. Unable, from the heaviness of the sea, to
reach the ichooner with bis life-boat, be generously of
fered to lay by her through the night. This bo did.
and, the morning being calinerj furnished her with
the trysail.
On the 12th the bark R. H. Gamble wrs signaled.
She was fourteen days from Mobile, bound to New
York, with yellow fever on board. This effectually
repressed all desire on the part of the. Norfolk Pack
et's two passengers to transfer themselves to the bark.
Of those on the latter one had sickened of the terri
ble epidemic on tbe 3d of the month, aud died on the
6th. Tbe mate and three others were then ill, and
not likely to BurvWe. ‘8be furnished the schooner
with a spanker and foresail. With these Capt. Bk-
dell and crew at once went to work, and after the
most indefatigable exertions in attempting to set
them—(tbe schooner being destitute of spars and
gaffs—) Anally succeeded in getting some sort of com;
mana over her.
On the 14th she was fallen in with by the brig
Mary Ellen, a Baltimore packet, Capt. Macon mas
ter, from St. Domingo bound to New York with a
cargo of logwood and coffee. Copt. Mason had no
spare sails nor spars, but kindly oflbred to take tho
schooner's passengers, Mr. Eaton and Mr. Williams,
both of Savannah, who most gladly accepted his in
vitation. After encountering a very severe gale on
the night of the 15th, which, at one time, seriously
threatened the luss of the hrig, they reached New
York on Saturday, the l?th$ just as the Florida was
leaving. Mr. Eaton immediately took passage on
her for Savannah, Which he .reached after a voyage
(in aU) oftwenty-two days, well content to have es-
capedfrom the dangers of tlie deep with no other loss
than' that of his baggage.
When ho left tho Bchooner her Captain had hopes
of being abio to put her into the port of Norfolk—
Whence we trust soon to have farther tidings of her.
Cmnwwni Cou.ttt. Sept. 17th, 1863.
Tlie undersigned, citizens of said county, hare seen, with
much surprise, a'certificate signed by fifteen perrons, pub
lished in the Nou/Aem Recorder of the 13th inst., in relation
to a speech delivered by the Hon. H. V. Johnson, at Can
ton, romo time in August t l862. by which he U reported to
hare said, in arid speech, that ‘‘Ae had no confidence
Union Democrats—that they could not be 'trusted—Vial they
stunk, and that they icould be dead and eat up by the bustards
be/ore the dogdays were out."
The undersigned heard every word of Judge Johnson’*
speech on that occasion, and without saying anything of
tho perron* who have signed »ald certificate, or of their
motives, the undersigned feel it to be their duty, ns an act
of justice, to say that both the language and sense of the
speech, are entirely porverted by the certificate. Judge
Johnson was, at the time, a candidate upon the Democratic
Electoral Ticket for Pierce and King, and waa attempting to
conciliate Union Democrats, of whom there were wvertri
hundred in the county, and to induce them and the Union
Wirigs who favored tl^e election of Pierce and King to vote
(or the ticket.
He elated that the Union party waa divided; that somo
of ita members would vote for each of the ticket* then in
tlie field for Pierce and King ; and predicted that at the
conventiona, then soon to assemble in Macon, an electoral
tlckot would bo nominated for Scott, and another for Web-
ater. Ho spoko of tho probable dissolution of tlie Union
party by it* own division*, and the epithets which he used
were used in reference to the death cf the party, and were not
used in reference to Union democrats or whigs, but only in ref
erence to the party organization of Ike Union i»rty, which he
pronounced to bo on the' point of dissolution. Ho spoke
freely of party and party organization, but said nothing
lUarcapecttul of, or justly offensive to Union Democrats,
who wore tho Tery persona whom he was moat particularly
striving to conciliate.

In tbe enemy’* camp. Onr pen revolts at

to Gatfres and Canibals. Chapaco, who commanded
some of the rebel forces, enjoyed the acquaintance of
a lady of the city. Don* Martina Pando, wire or D.
Mariano Romor. in consequence of having been shel

in familiar conversation, told Chapaco the advantage
that wonld result to him if he would follow the exam-
f ile of his comrades, and place bis detaobment under

tended to favor the idea, only demanding some secu
rity for.bia reception. Trusting in his good faith, the
lady obtained aletter from her husband, who was
easily anxihus to benefit one on whom they bad lav-
isned so many kindness. Tlie letter was "no eooner
obtained than Chapaco hastened with it to head-quar
ters , obtained an audience of Gen.Urquiza, and pre
sented the’lettor as an evidence at ouco of Ills own
fidelity to the tyrant, and of the lady’s treason. Ur-
quiza ordered tbo lustnnt arrest of Dona Martina,
sentenced her to receive 300 lashes,and proceeded, in
person, accompanied by Lagos, his colleague, to see
the sentence oxouteri. The victim was lea out, strip-,
peri entirely of her clothing, ami placed in the midst
of tbe squadron of soldiers assigned to. inflict the
punishment Tbe cries and agonies of the wrecthed
woman, at an exposure so much more horrible to her
than death itseir, had no effect upon her heartless ex
ecutioners. Before tho stripes were ono-fonrth in
flicted she had fainted from pain and loss or blood,
,and shortly after tbo General was apprized that the
sufierings of the poor wretch were terminated. She
was dead. With an excess of inhumanity which Is
almost incredible, the monster ordered the remaining
‘Tiumber of strips to bo inflicted upon the corpse, anu
finally left the spot, forbidding tbe removal of the re
mains. * Leave.’ he said, * the caecass of the she-nni-
tarian to the crows.’ ”
And this is the brute whom the Ministers of civil
ized nations are supporting; and such tbe treatment
which tho citizqns of Buenos Ayres may expect if
this tiger capture the town. But he will not captore-
it, nor enter tho walls under any circumstances. The
defence is most vigorous. Young and old—every
soul, In short, la actively engaged in the defence.
Fortunately, what the Legations refused to do for the
.protection of their countrymen, corruption has effect
ed. Coe,the Admiral or Urquiza’s fleet, has been
.bought by the Government, and has transferred the
whole blockading squadron to the service of the town.
;Tbe men were ill-red, unpaid, and balf-clad, and very
happy to mako the exchange.
Mr. Latham, on account of his conrageous support
of the rights of foreigners against the mistaken and
Short-sighted policy of the diplomatic agents, has been
.elected by acclamation “ President of tho Whole
Foreign Community,” numbering nearly 50,000 per
sons. The organization is formed for self-defence ; it
being evident that no protection is to be expected
from the ordinary quarters. One or Us first proceed
ings will be to obtain a census of tbe foreign resi
dents—ascertaining their condition and needs: and,
proceeding upon the information thus obtained, to
form a fraternal union or commonwealth, with officers
who shall replace the resident agents, in all inter
course between the residents and tho Government.
-The anion meets with universal approbation. As the
efforts of tbe combination are to do directed to tbe
.preservation of peace, by ail possible means ; to the
’development of the resources or tlie country ; to the
furtherance of all industrial and commercial enter
prises ; and to the encouragement of emigration, the
whole people look to it with immense interest, and
anticipate tho happiest results from ita moral as well
os positive influence. Certainly, if a new. direction
can be given to tlie unhappy politics of this country*
It must become one of the greatest and we»lthie8( fo
the world. It natural advantages are unequalled. .

Speech or Mr. Jenkins in Macon,
.We had tbe pleasure of hearing Mr. Jenkins define
his position and vindicate hie views, In this city, on
Tuesday night last. He stated that when tbe Aige-
rine raw was introduced in tbe Senate, he was absent
from Milledgeville, and averred, mofrover, that be
had no wish to limit popular suffrage in State and
county elections. We have every confidence in these
declarations, and we readily admit that tbe defence i*
good, oa far rt got*.
There are sins of omission, as well as sins of com
mission. Mr. Jenkios ioat in Milledgeville before ihe
bill bad become a law. He was there in time to ex
amine it—’to ** approve” of it, and advocate it* pea-
sago in the House—all of widely he has himself as
serted in a public letter. When Mr.Hiller introduced
tho bill in the Senate, Mr. Jenkins waa absent. But
when Mr. Jenkins himself introduced the bi]l in the
lower house for concurrence, we leave it to bia own
candor to say if bo did not become an accessory be
fore tht fact. Mr. Jenkins avows that the law was
for tbe protection of the poor man, a* well as the rich
man of Augusta. Nevertheless, the citizens of Au
gusta considered it an outrage. Tbe man in whose
nouse the election was to be held, would not surren
der it to such a purpose. A majority of those enti
tled to vote under the set, refused to avail themselves
of the privilege. The volunteer companies threatened
never to turn out for the protection of property, while
the law continued to exist. Public opinion killed the
enactment stone dead. Mr. Jenkins was defeated at
the polls. The law was repealed at the very next
session. All this does not show tbat Mr. Jeokins
was not honest. But it does show that the people of
Augusta did not fancy the protection of which Mr.
Jenkins speaks.
Mr. Jenkins does not wish to apply the law to State
and county elections, but he is surely a liUl« incon
sistent, when in the same breath he defends, fully and
openly, tbe obnoxious enactment. Tbe law provides
that no man should vote for Alderman who did not
own a certain amonnt of property, or pay a certain tax,
aud Mr. Jeukins pronounces il a righteous law. Now,
if tills does not mean that a property qualification
was right, we are at a loss to know wbat it does mean.
We believe tbat Mr. Jenkins does not wish to apply
the act to general elections, but we are compelled to
believe tbat if tbe property qualification is right in
Augusta, it is right in Macon—if it is right anywhere,
it is right everywhere.
Tbe attack upon Gov. McDonald is not worth an
answer. We leave it to any manat all acquainted
with the workings of tbe Legislature, to say, if the
enactment of local laws is not left almost entirely, to
the Representatives of tbat county, where tbe law is
to operate. The members from Bibb are supposed
to know the requirements or Bibb—and so of Baker,
and ao of Richmond. Gov.McDonald, and tbe Leg
islature might fairly suppose that Mr. Jenkins repre
sented the views of his constituents. The reault
proved, that Mr. Jenkins aud his colleague* misrepre
sented them. Tbe people of Richmond rebelled at
once, and never rested until the Act was repealed.—
The charge against Jndgfi McDonald i» frivolous—but
a that be was wrong—is thatany excuse for Mr.
ns? On tbe whole, we consider tbe defence as
partially good, when applied to the people of Geor
gia, but it is not good, as applied to tbe citizens of
Augusta. To call the law a good one, is to say, tbat
the poor mau of tbat city ought not to be allowed to
vote fomAldermen.- «■
The rest of the speech was an attack upon the ad
ministration—and a very weak attack at that. The
general impression produced, we’Shouldsay was this:
that Mr. Jenkins was a conscientious man, actuated
by good impulses, endowed with respectable abilities,
but afflicted with eome dangerous heresies—2We-

Gen. Allison Sworn In aa Governor.
The departure Irom the State of Governor Brown,
who has thus voluntarily vacated his office, and left
Ihe Btate without an executive, has rendered it neces-
hory that tbe Speaker of the House of Representa
tives should repair to the capital and assume the re
sponsibilities imposed by tlie Constitution and his
oath pf office. Accordingly, Gen. Allison arrived
hero on Friday (yesterday) and took tho oath of of
fice required by the law, which was administered at
1 o’clock, P. M, by the Hon. J. Wayles Baker. Judge
of the -Circuit Court for the Middle Circuit, in pres
ence of a number of citizens. Before taking the
oath, Gen. Allison said:
Having received assurance of the "absence from
the State” of both his Excellency, Gov. Brown, and
tho Hon. R. J. Floyd,President of the Senate, evi
dence of which has been filed in the office of the
Secretary of State, I have repaired to the capitol with
a view of entering upon tbe dtoohaTge of tbe duties
imposed upon me as Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives, by tbe 18th and 19th sections of tbe 3d
article of tho Constitution of the State of Florida,
which read as follows:
18. In cases of tbe impeachment of the Governor,
his removal from office; death, refosal to qualify, res
ignation, or absence from the State, the President of
the Senate shall exercise all the power and authority
appertaining to tho office of Governor, daring tbe
term for which the Governor was elected, unless the
General Assembly shall provide by law for tho elec
tion or a Governor to fill such vacancy, or nntil thb
Governor absent or impeached shall return or bo ac
quitted.
19. If during the vacancy or the office of Governor,
the President or tbe Senate shall be impeached, re
moved from office, refuse to qualify, resign, die, or bo
abseut from the State, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives shall in like manner administer the
Government.
I deem it dne to myself to state that in taking this
step I aot Rololy from a sense of duty, growing out of
the requirements or the Constitution and in fulfill
ment of the responsibilities imposed by tbe solemn
oatb administered to me as Speaker of tbe House. I
did not know (bat any emergency has yet arisen or
will hereafter arise, requiring executive action ; but
I do not feel at liberty to decline a duty pointed ont
by the aapramo law of the land, and which I regard
aa imperative.
In a few weeks, tho Governor ele^t* Hon. James E.
Broome, will take the oath of office, when I trust be
will find tho affairs of this department in the same
condition in which they were left by his predecessor,
Gov, Brown.
It is not my intention to interfere in any manner'
with tho past businoss of this office, holding myself
responsible only for suoh matters as may come before
me, np to tbo tlmo of tho inauguration of tho new
Governor or tho return of the former incumbent,
which I trust may bo speedy.
The oath admiulatorcd by Jadgo Baker was in the
following words:

Representatives or the Btate of Florida, upon whom,
under tbe Constitution of this State, devolve all tbe
power and authority appertaining to tho office da

“I Want It Howl”-'
Was the half ottered soliloquy of a despairing me
chanic, on Saturday, evening, as his Employer told
him to call on Monday morning Tor the six dollars due'
to him. Mouday morning! • It is all tbe same to tho
millionaire. He has abuudant credit with tbe butch
er, the baker, the coal-man, tbe grocer, in short with
every body. They are ail only too happy to trust
him. If he wants to take a ride on Sunday, with hU
family, to the High Bridge, the livery stable man is
ready to furnish him with a carriage. If he bos a
fancy for a couple of woodcocks, tbe game-merchant
will send him the nicest and fattest, and wait bis own
time for payment. Should wife or children want
shoes, they can have an unlimited supply ou credit.
In fact, tho .millionaire doesn’t really need money,
everything he or his familymay want can be got
without money. But with the mechanic, the working
man, the case is entirely different. Forced by tbe
extortions of landlords to remove, every year further
and further uptown, be has no chance to make ac
quaintance and establish a credit with tbe small,
cautious German dealers of the aveuues. His butch
er sells only for cash—tbe grocer will not trust—no
body will give a day's credit. Our poor mechanic
has been working like a dog for those six dollars;
they are worth twice as much to him now—to-day—
as they will be forty-eight hours hence. He meant
to have a little feast to-night—for even six dollars
will feast a poor man and his family—and perhaps
even to have taken an excursion to Hoboken to-mor
row, to let tbe wife and children breath? and rest,—
But now, your thoughtless, heartless, cruel indiffer
ence has made them all gloomy nnd miserable over
Sunday, the poor man's precious holiday. He can't,
like you, go out and borrow what he wauts—nobody
lends tlie poor man money! and so, he must go home
with a heavy heart—feed his family on codfish and
potatoes, and come to his work on Monday morning,
grumbling and discontented, just because you did
not give.youwelf tbe trouble to be just. Shame on
you, oh rich man ! - Life in Neto York.

made. And why should it not be so 7 Has not the
Democracy always stood up bravely for tbe nation’s
hqnor in every time of trial and under all circum
stances? They find that tho Democratic party has
always been the true (riend or tho people—have ever
maintained the 'doctrines of * equal rights and equal
laws,’ and have always sought to defend the oppress
ed against tho machinations of the strong; and hence
they feel a sense of honor loudly demanding their

The Emperor of Austria has conferred upon his
consul at Smyrna the cross of St. Leopold, for his
conduct In the Koataafiair. The Paris Prtsse observes
that “ the extreme parsimony with which Austrian
decorations are given, adds to the.scauaaloas eclat of
this recompense”—and infers from thia fact that the
quarrel between Austria and the United States will
soon assume the proportions of a serious conflict.—
