It' u suggested that Fisk’s wounds
were caused by tho champagne and
not the campaign.
Amherst College has made Horace
Greeley a Doctor of Laws. This is
pretty hard on the. old man, as lie
will write himself to death in order
to establish himself worthy of tire
distinction.
“Tho dignity of labor” was the
subject of a reoent Commencement
address by Dr. II. n. Tucker. A fel
low out on the public works says he
knows a heap more about “ the dig
nity'pi labor” than Dr. Tucker does.
Theodoro Tilton^speaks of Julia
Ward Howe as “the poet-apostle, who
seems to belong in about equal por
tions between earth and air.” When
Julia read that, she spoke of Theo
dore as tlie biggest fool in the coun
try, then finished her plate of baked
beans and pork.
The Louisville Courier-Journal
says Mr. Stephens “ has gained nine
pounds in weight since he has been an
editor,” and adds, “ he must have had
one of his editorials in bis pocket
when he was last weighed.” If the
editor of the Courier-Journal were
to put one of his editorials in his
pocket he would go up like a balloon.
Two Tribune correspondents and
two men connected with the tele
graph company at Washington, have
been indicted for contempt of tho
United States Senate. If every man
who feels a contempt for the present
Senate were indicted, tho remainder
of tho country would not have time
enough in which to hear half the
cases.
The mystery now agitating the
mind of New York is, how Colonel
Fisk got wounded. Fisk is satisfied
that a shot from a twenty-four
pounder must have hit him; but,
when reminded that no cannon were
used on the “bloody 12th,” he says
there should liavo been, and hail
there been, the wounded would hare
occurred by means of them'; so he
will have it so anyhow.
Bowen has gone to Charleston to
collect evidence of his right to the
seat now occupied in Congress by the
negro DoLarge. As regards Bowen’s
right to the seat, he may or may not
be able to establish it; but if no
qualification was up, he would have
only to furnish a certified copy of tho
record of the Washington criminal
court and the Iladicals would volo
for him at once.

Editobs ov tub Sun : Tho terri
ble railroad disasters that have been
published recently arc always partic
ularly fresh in the mind when tho
reader of them is traveling by mil,
aud an amusing illustration of this
was witnessed by some of the occu
pants of the sleeping car on Saturday
night. Just as tho train on the
Georgia Boad was crossing one of tho
river bridges, some negroes or other
rowdie$ on the bank raised a shout,
and one of them exclaimed “ the cars
is goin’ over the bridge 1” A gentle
man who had undressed, and bad al
ready fallen asleep, was awakened by
the exclamation of tbo rowdies on
the bank, and heard confusedly thut
exclamation about tbo cars and the
bridge. In a moment’s time—all in
white as he was—he was turning the
brake on the front platform of the car
while in stentorian accents he plead:
stop the car! stop the car!” A
somewhat stern pressure of the hands
of Orion Dozier, -the conductor of the
sleeping cur, and his assurance thut
the car was all O. K., brought ourex-
citcd passenger to a proper under
standing of the situation.
It would make even the wide
awake eyes of your liveliest water
melon man extend wider to see the
sliow of watermelons in this city. I
counted twenty-one wagon loads this
morning while walking half a mile
through Broad aud Green streets. I
am reliably informed that ono fanner
near the city had pulled aud shipped
from his own farm, up to last Satur
day, eleven thousand melons this sen-
ihipping the large majority to
New York market. Very fine melons
retail here at 20 cents each. The
number of them shipped from Au
gusta this season would appear in
credible in print. One shipment of
twenty-three car loads was made by
ouc train to Savannah for shipment
to New York. The people here are
growing fat upon them, and every
animal that will eat the rinds is fat
tening also. The business done in

[Spocial cornwpomJsnoo of Tim Atlanta Bun]
Washington, July 14,1871.
The chief topio of conversation
hero to-day, and for a day or two
past, lias been the emeute in the city
of New York on the 12th. The cele
bration of the anniversary of the
Battle of the Boyne, in 1690, has
never disturbed the equanimity of
any part of the South to my knowl
edge—Mere, politic* never having
reached so lovf a standard as. to re
quire the deliberate stirring up of the
worst passions of man to the extent
of setting them to butchering ono
another. In this matter the loaders of
both parties in Now York are clearly
to blame—but much the heavier re
sponsibility lies on the shoulders of
such so-called Democrats os Hall,
Tweed, Belmont, Sweeney, Schell,
Marble, and the like—the same with
whom originated the famous “New
Departure?'
This clique of unprincipled and
unscrupulous “rule or rum” poli
ticians, through their obsequious un
derling, Kelso (the superintendent of
the police), without the least oolor of
authority, saw proper to issuo a per
emptory order forbidding tho parade
of cortain citizens of the United
States in honor of a particular histo
rical event This was done, no doubt,
in order to secure the undivided vote
of their inveterate enemies, who,
numerically, arc os fifty to one. That
this “order” encouraged the Irish
Catholics in their subsequent acts of
violence, no ono can question. The
later “ order ” of the Governor of the
State, promising protection to the
Orangemen, could not, after such
“ encouragement,” prevent the butch
cries which ensued.
Such are the views I hear expressed
all around me by men of both parties
'—and of all religious denominations,
not excepting tho Catholics. I have
heard many of the latter also (com
paring small things with great) liken
this mutter to tho conduct of certain
prominent politicians of the North
before and after the conflict of arms
in our late sectional war. Generals
Logan and McMillan, of Illinois,
Stanton (of blessed memory), Dick
inson of New York, Governor Geary
of Pennsylvania, Butler of Massa
chusetts, and hosts of others, after
patting the secessionists upon tho
back, and rendering abortive the
efforts of more prudent Southern
statesmen to prevent tho taking of the
fearful leap, were tho very firet men
to out-IIerod Herod in savage ven
geance to the South—and they are
still the bitterest enemies of the
Southern people. So, after Hall and
lug ooodjutors had, by their unau
thorized acts, got the Irish blood up
to fever heat, they coolly co-opcruted
with the Governor in calling out tho
troops, national nnd State, to shoot
down their dupes like dogs.
Witli respect to the fends, religious
or political, between our odopteuciti-
zens, originating in the respective
countries of their birth, neither this
Government nor the Governments of
the States, can lawfully make invidi
ous distinctions. It has become a
practice, under the law of the land,
to allow tho celebration of events,
however, the memory of them may bo
distasteful to large classes of our hete
rogeneous population, and why a
discrimination in the case of Orange
men ? In truth, this matter of “the
battle of the Boyne,” is very super
ficially understood. The stake at that
battle was no less than the liberties of
Great Britain. Politically, it estab
lished tho famous bill of rights, upon
which our own liberties were found
ed. It is false to say that the Revolu
tion of 1688, was simply a triumph
of Protestants over Catholics. Cath
olicism, truly enough, was a part of
the political policy of James the Sec
ond ; but he might, notwithstanding
his religion, have continued to reign
until he ceased to live, had he not
pursued the precise political course
which brought the head of his father
(a protestant) to the block.
In short, impartial history proves
that King James, in his desire for
despotic sway, levying taxes by his
mere will, and disregarding at pleas
ure the solenm acts of Parliament,
under the “dispensing power” which
he assumed, aud relying mainly upon
his Catholic subjects to support him
iu his usurpations, made a religious
controversy inevitable^ and a union of
some sort of a church, with tho State,
au absolute necessity. Had he succeed
ed, Catholicism would have become
the established national religion, fora
while at least, instead of the Protes
tant.
Talking yesterday with an intelli
gent Irish Catholic, (there is nothing
else spoken of hero now but the Ku-
Klux outrage in New York), he ful
ly admitted the consummate folly of
keeping alive here the hatred between
those lielligerant parties. lie pro
nounced the quarrel as senseless, at
this late day, os that between the
“Far-Down*’’ aud the “Corkonians,”
of which he said no man could ever
get at the origin.
There is much talk here at this
moment of the political effect this
business may have. God forbid it
should have any, unless it bo tho
whatever their den may bo properly
called. Tho starting jioint of con
servative snccess is tifcir unceremoni
ous repudiation. *

Mr. Campbell’s discourse was a hu
morous description of ,State Fairs, a
lecture to their pntrons, and an as
sault on tho managers :uid stock

nothing more than a series of ortifici
schemes and little stratagems to swin

their ignorance, vanity, credulity and
prying curiosity.
Female Suffrage, by Mr. Collins,
was a well-timed, courageous charge
against—well, you know what—the

modern Amazons over tho homes of
purity and innocence.

HOMES WRIGHT,
of your city, was last but not least,
by a great deal. His effort, second to
none of the day, chained tho attention
of the thinking portion of the audi
ence to'that extent that seemed to
say, “Here is a chivalrous knight on
wnom Truth has fixed her seal aud
stamped her image, and has bidden to
go forth, the vindication of her in
sulted rights, forgotten dominion and
holy sovereignty?’
With few exceptions the efforts
were models of elegance in writing
and decla-aution, at onoe a testimoni
al of the t. lining of the Faculty and
the undivided perseverance nnu nat
ural power of the students.
Immediately succeeding the Junior
exhibition came the

'ded taste for

speculative politics. It was one of the
ablest efforts of the day. He attribut
ed the downfall of the French Em
pire and French institutions to the
undermining influence of religious
bigotry and popular speculative infi
delity.
Mr. Lewis assaulted the growing
tendency to the elective system or
education, and although he did not
produce universal conviction — far
from it—debated it with much power.
The students of Oxford have for
thi-irinheritance a sure success in life.
Thev seem to take religion in one

Next followed Mr. Mays, w ho har[)ed

Queen Victoria wus for more queenly

BISMARCK,

effort made a full exhibit of this

Means introduced Bishop Pierce, who
arose and said:
‘Tho host concerted schemes of mind]

fail. I had tvishod to doolino this dis
tinction, but tho gontloman declined a
refusal. I accepted for the time-being,
but I think I may yet escape tho irvigi-
lance.”
Bishop Pierce then, without any pre
meditation, introdneed to tho audience
and Sophomore declaimcrs, Dr. Hicks,
who instantly arose, impromptu, and
said:
"I am a loyal Methodist proaohor and

We want more candidates for the min
istry. Its honors'nre above those of the
world.
It has difficulties to ovorcome, but
there ore immortal glories in tho end.
Choose moral greatness for your aim.
Stop not at mediocrity. Strike |for the
heights! Labor for your race, yonr
country and your God. Whut you do
for yourself will give you no sparkling
star in tlie crown of glory. You are tlie
hope of the college, your race and your
country. Stand up nobly and bring
back au eccentric world to its proper or
bit. The tramp of tho warrior, tho clan
gor of armor have ceased, and garments
of blood—leave Time to blench them
with her purifying suns. We live to Tin-
dicsto a cause by the purity of our lives.
Go on, then, gather laurels on the hills
of scieuco, Unger un their heights, revel
along her flowery slopes, drink of her
crystal founts, loro God and servo bin),
and you will be happy.

BciUors Sun : Your correspondent, af
ter being hnrriod through some of the
most interesting and romantic regions of
north Georgia and Tennessee, finds him
self this morning in the midst of the rush
and roar of this groat mart of trade—
Louisville.
Louisvillo, at the falls of the Ohio, is
a thriving city of 120,000 inhabitants, and
together with Jeffersonville end New Al
bany, on tho Indiana aide of the river,
probably nnmben 160,000.
The wator power of the folia, tbe river
communication, the great Ohio river es-
nal and tho railroads centering here—all
tend to mako it a very important point.
In manufactures of iron, glees and
chcmioal compositions, and tobacco, and
in packing pork, it has long held a high
position. Tn pome spcsioEtics—for in
stance, tho curing of hams—it claims tho
largret establishment in tho United
States.
A new mnnufocturo—that of steam fire
engines—has recentlybeen started here.
In many important respeete tho stoam fire
engines manufactured here have proved
superior to thoso made iu Cincinnati.
Binoe tho oloso of tho war, Louisville
has taken a vigorous bound upward. Its
many advantages for business purposes
aro seen and approci atod by outsiders, and
its population has increased with great
rapidity.
Daring the spring, summer and au
tumn, scarcely a week passes without a
large auction solo of business lots in the
snbnrbs. During the week just post the
pales of such lots at anction have, aggre
gated 1800, and the aggregate earn paid
for them amounts to four or five hundred
thousand dollars. Most of these par
chases havo been in ado by residents of
tbo city, who oontcmplato building.
Tlie dally papers of the city ore the
Courier-Journal (George D. Frcntioo’ old
popor)—New Departure Democrat; the
Ledger—old liiftDemoorat; tho Comma--
etui—-radical; tho Keening Sun, and the
Gorman papers—the Anitiger and Fuji
biatL
The religious pspors aro, the Christian
Observer (Presbyterian), which is said to
kuro a larger circulation thnu any other
weekly publishod South of tbo Ohio
river; tbo Western Recorder, (Baptist),
and n Oatholie paper oalled Ike Aden-
ode.
The largest denomination hero is, I be
lieve, the rreebyterians—Southern and
Northern. Tho First Church has for
pastor Bov. Dr. Samuel B. Wilson, the
woll known antkor of the “Declaration
and Testimony.” Tho Second Cbnreh
enjoys tku ministrations of Ber. Dr.
Stuart Bobinson, a profound thinker and
thorough student, whose work on redemp
tion has given him a trans-Atiantio repu
tation. Ho is a man who has rodnood
theology to a soienco, and deals with
every subject with tho skill of a ma-.ter
workman. Of the Nothern oharohoe Bev.
Dr. Humphery is pastor of one, Bev. Mr.
Bobcrtson, of Springfield, lllinos, has
recently boon oalled to another. Besides
these four churches there aro numorous
other churches und missions in various
parte of tbo city, some of them depend
ent on the larger eharohee.
Ti ore are several large and floarlahing
Methodist Gkurohes here. Tho Broad
way Church, of which Bev. Dr. Bivora ia
pastor, is one of the largest and most ac
tive.
The Baptists and the Campbellites (or
Christians) aro also numerous, as well
meats are handsomely furnished, an* the
numorous parlors present the Behcet
specimens of art. The table* groan un
der the comforts and luinries gathered
from nil earth’s islands and eontineiita —
The cooking apartments, through which
I have just been conducted, are neat and
oltmn as a scotch cottage; and the laundry
is the most remarkable of it* kind—being
capable of washing tan thousand pieces
a day. Time will not allow metodeaoend
to details.
Tho Kimball House is much dimmed
hero, and is by some suppoeed to bo
oqaal to the Gelt House iu the magni
tude of its proportions, and in the beauty
and splendor of its decorations. Bnt I
prefer not to take sides in tbto Controver
sy. They ore both the pride of their
respective cities.
I must not forget to mention that the
ohiet attraction of tbe Galt House is the
enterprising and accomplished proprie
tor, Coh J. P. Johnson, and hisenUivated
and elegant lady. OaumaBra.

occasions. Tho men seem to be ongrossed
in business; tho ladies in taking oore of
their liousos and grounds; the young
ladies in providing for tbe exigencies of
their wardrobe ; while the voang gentle
men, in hoars not devoted to bnsineep,
seem to be ever on the hunt for eligible
