What an Illinois Man (Says.
The following is but one of many
similar letters that are reaching us by
almost every mail:
, 111., July H, 1871.
Hon. A. H. Si THUS, Atlanta, Go.—
Dear Sir: I soe from the papers that yon
are editor of the “ Atlanta 8n»," anil
understand you aro not willing to form u
political partnership with tho mongrel
party, or in other words, take the "Mew
Departure.” If so, send mo a specimen
paper, that I may get your rates of sub
senpdon.
1 will take the liberty to say the moss
of the Democracy here are not willing to
oooept tho situation, but tho ]nlitieians
for the most part are.
Tours, veiy respectfully, —
The “Terrible State of Affairs
South.”
The Washington corresjiomlcnt of
the Louisville Courier-Journal, in his
letter of the 17th, says:
Besides the real testimony given be
fore Ku Klux Committee, there is a good
deal of documentary ex parte evidence in
the shape of letters that have come up
from tho Boutb addressed to iliflerent
members allowing tho terrible condition
in which the Staton have been plundered
by the rule of Radicals, carpct-baggcm
and scalawags. The information from
Mississippi, especially, presents an ap
palling picture of oppressive taxation,
and no prospect of relief except by reme
dial legislation. Thousands of tho best
citizens of tho State aro doomed to wit
ness the soorifloo of wlmt little property
they have aaved since tho war, all be-
oaiisu the lost Legislature did not repre
sent tho boua-fldo tax payers of the State
but was controlled by a ring of corrup
tionists and oxtortioners. This perhaps
is notjexactly the sort of testimony tile
majority of theKukliix Committee want,
but it has its effect in showing tho aetusl
condition of portions of tho South, eud
how the people are governed down there.
The only wonder soems to ho that thov
forboar so well
With such a deplorable state of af
fairs sot before them upon such relia
ble testimony, it is singular that the
law-abiding justice-loving, freodom-
propagating, conscientious Radicals
do not at once commence tho work of
reconstructing tho South. There
seems to he no doubt that affairs are
in a woful condition and that the
people need protection from their
rulers. Now is a good time to begin,
just when such an array of sworn
testimony is ut hand to substantiate
t lie exigencies of the situation.
Muir*. Blodgett and Gnskill,
[The following article lias been
handed to us with a request that it
be republished in our columns. We
comply, without in any way becom
ing purties to tho criminal prosecu
tion now pending, or oven expressing
any opinion upon tho merits of that
case, or in any way committing our
selves to the extravagance of the lau-
gungc used against any parties before
conviction.
Tho article is from a Radical pn]>or
in this State—whothcr editorial or
not we do not know; but when a
leading organ of a party thus pub
lishes such matter against prominent
men in its own ranks, it shows very
clearly that there must be something
“rotten in Denmark,” somewhere.—
Wo refer the whole matter to the
Courts, and a Democratic Legislature
to ferret out—Editors Sun.]
From tlio Georgia Republican.
The State Hoad llobhcra.
Little by littlo tho stupendous frinuls
practiced upon the people of Georgia by
Foster Blodgett, anu tho ring lately asso
ciated with him in the management of
the State Road, aro coming to light In
genious os tho robbers were in hiding the
evidences of their guilt, they failed to ac
complish offeotually the work of conceal
ment Whon tho Grand Jury of Fulton
oounty lately found a truo bill nguinst
Blodgott ana Gaskill for embezzling over
eight thousand dollars in tho settlement
of Mr. Dobbins' claim, it was unfortu
nate for tho pcaco of this braco of wor
thies), that Gaskill happened to bo absent
from the State. Emboldened by the
immunity from punishment whieti had
hitherto attended a long nnil seemingly
huoocssful course of falsehood ami pecu
lation, Blodgett riuhod iucontently into
print without conferring with hie con
federate. What must have boon tho
wrath of the sanctimonious Varney wheu
he rood tho .letter ? Tho statements of
tho two respecting tho details of tho trans
action are irreconcilably at variance,
showing that robbery is not tho only art
which lias been cultivated by mombers
of tbo ring. Thieves must lie, and per
jury in that quarter is no uow thing.
the terminology of crime ueoils a new
name to characterize properly the infamy
of these men. Tho highway robber or
tho midnight burglar is a hero in com
parison ; tor ho violates none of the sa
cred oonlldonoe of society, but taking
Ilia life in his hands and bidding defiance
to Fate, wages bold warfare against his
fellows. Even the blood-Btained soul
ofteu retains a sense of honor and a re
gard for truth. But where individuals
become so depraved as to pervert posi-
tious of trust into machinos for plunder,
every semblance of virtue falls irretaieva-
bly in the general croah of character.
As the rooks which protrude however
faintly above tho eurfuce of the eertli in
dicate tho nature of the geological for
mations which extend in vast masses be
low, bo the disclosures made to tho Grand
Jury rospootiug a single transaction,
point to a multitude of similar frauds
now thinly covered by false entries on
tile books of tho road. It is well under
stood that at least a million of dollars
was stolon or squandered. Tho settle
ment with Mr. Dobbins explains tho
whereabonts of 88,518 06.
Wo do not wonder that Blodgett begins
at last to tremble. Ho long hod be trick
ed Justice of her dues, that ho loomed
to mock hor warnings. Mow, however,
her coils visibly tighten around him,
while the door of the prison swings slow
ly open to admit him. The wretch who
ouoa nothing for the virtuous scorn of
his follow-citizens, and who long 8inco
bid to conscience and its stings an eter
nal farewell, is too for lost to suffer from
the ordinary methods of punishment.—
But when he feels the gyves upon his
wrists, and grated windowa'ehnt him out
from the pnblio whom he lias wronged
and tobbod, be will have leisure to pon
der upon the mistakes of a life-time.—
And may 0«d have mercy upon his soul.

St. Loris, July 21.—Tho case of Mil-

street’s Commercial Agency, was before
tho Circuit Court yesterday, the hearing
being on the motion of tlio defendant to
dissolve tho injunction granted a few
days ago, enjoining tho circulation of the
July number of Bnulstreet’s Commercial
Reports, on account of a falso and inju
rious noting of the plaintiff. Several
witnesses testified to tho solvency of Mil-
lier, his business qualifications, <vc.; also
that ho is doing a largo and prosperous
business. King, formerly in the employ
of tho Agency, testified to tho mode of
transacting business by the Agency.—-
He said most of tho reports are trans
acted in the office. From the
time Shepherd took charge of it, the re
ports were based upon the old reports.
Tho citv reports are all copied into a let
ter book ami forwarded to New York. A
book, called the blank book, is kept, in
which all unfavorable reports are copied.
Every one in the office had access to this
book, lie testified that the Bradstrcet
agency was partial to subscribers, and
that n gold-headed cane would often raise
a man’s rating. Tho plaintiff had been
reduced from *‘C. C. D. IV'—a very
high rating—to *‘D. E.,” which means
that a man is doing business on a capital
of less than $500. A subscription to the
agency generally moaut an increoso of
credit. The witness farther stated that
ho had manufactured hundreds of reports
himself.

Meepiiis, July 21.—Tho following
will appear in to-morrow’s Avalanche.—
“Before and sinco my arrival in Mem
phis, this day, my attention has been
called to a slanderous article in certain
Radical newspapers which attack my pri
vate character, in connection with a Indy
who, it is freely stated, was traveling un
der my ehargo. It is deemed duo to my
self as well as my personal friends, to
state unequivocally and without delay,
tho story in the whole and in all its es
sential parts is unmistakably the instiga
tion of malice, and I hereby prononnee
it utterly falso.”
[Signed] Jefferson Davis.
Pettigni King Bowen.
A Washington correspondent writes:
As for Mrs. Bowen, her case excites
the deepest interest aud sympathy
here. She is devotedly attached to
her numerous husband, and declares
that she will stick to him. She be
lieves that her marriage was legal and
that it it was formed in good faith by
both her husband and herself. It is
said they are now living together, oc
cupying a house here owned by her
self." Bowen’s friends assert that he
will at once take steps to procure a
legal divorce, to which lie is entitled,
while persons who are not particular
ly friendly say he will do nothing of
the kind—that he is not entitled to a
divorce—that no court would dare to
grant it now, and that he dare not
apply for it; hut that he and Mrs.
I’ettigru King will continue to live
together, leaving the world to say and
think as it please, thus leaving it in
the hands of the other two Mistresses
Bowen to obtain divorces on the
ground of adultery, if they see fit.
Tho gentleman, who lives in Charles
ton, above alluded to, says that Mrs.
Bowen was celebrated for her wit and
sarcasm in Charleston, and he related
many instances of her brilliancy in
conversation and in society. She was
at one time reganled as the most bril
liant and fascinating woman in tho
State, and owing to her father’s posi
tion, her society was greatly sought
by distinguished strangers. She was,
in fact, in her prime (perhaps after
she was married to her first husband),
the sort of woman that was always
liopular among gentlemen, but looked
upon with suspicion (born of envy
you may be sure) by the ladies. She
reigned supreme in every assembly,
party or rout, and the prim, modest-
going ladies called her fast.
AN ANECDOTE.
When Thackery visited Charleston
many years ago, at a party given in
his honor, he was presented to Mrs.
King. In his blunt English manner
ho greeted her:
“ My dear madame, I am very glad
to sec you. I have heard much of
you. I hear you are very witty, but
very fast.”
With a light laugh aud a square
look into his eyes, she answered quick
ly:
“Oh, but Mr. ThnckciT, we must
not believe everything wc near. Now,
7 have heard t/oa were n gentleman.”
It is doubtful if this rencounter
ever took place between the parties
named, but it will pass just the same.

Big Railroad Operation.
A special dispatch to the Nashvillt-
Bunner of the 20th, (the dispatch is
not dated from any point) says:
The Committee from theJBoard of
Directors of the Memphis, Clarks
ville anil Louisville Railroad returned
to-day from Louisville. Negotiations
with tlie Louisville and Nashvilie
Railroad have been closed, by the
terms of which it purchases the Mem
phis, Clarksville and Louisville Rail
road, agreeing to pay the price fixed
by the compromise decree in favor of
the State—11,700,000—and paying
the county of Montgomery und city
of Clarksville 8000,000 in Tennessee
State bonds for their stock in the
road.
The Savannah Custom House
Defalcation.
The Washington correspondent of
the Louisville Courier-Journal writes
ou the I7th as follows:
Collector Robb, of Savannah, is
now attempting to shove the respon
sibility of the late defalcation in his
Custom House from his own should
ers to those of an cx-collector, one
James Johnson. Robb informs the
Treasury Department that the loss
occurred then, and intimates that it
was so well covered up that its dis
covery was made impossible until
now. The Treasury officials think
this a very strange story.
There is now living in Philadelphia
a gentleman who, as a boy, often con
versed with his grandfather, born near
the close of tlie seventeenth century,
whose father was the associate and
friend of William Penn, and who was
himself a child when the proprietor
returned to England. The gentle
man referred to was ten years old
when his grandfather died at the age
of ninety-two years, and now, him
self ninety years old, is still in vigor
ous health, and able to visit and take
part in the affairs of a public institu
tion of which, for more than sixty
years, he has been an active and use
ful director.
