TM two oodota diamiand {torn Annr.p-
olia on aooount of a difficulty with Baker,
a colored oadet, are Hood of Alabama, and
Holton, of Sonth Carolina. Melton is the
ton of tha Radioal Attorney (General of
Bonfh Carolina. Tha old gentleman
praoofaoa one thing, and the boy praetioea
another.
Edwabd Bpanoli*, one of the men
triad for oomplieation in the conspiracy
for the aaaaaaination of President Lincoln,
and eentenoed to eiz months' labor at the
Dry Tortugae, died in Charles county,
Maryland, on Sunday night the 14th. He
waa pardoned abont the done of Presi
dent Johnson's administration. The spe-
ci do charge against Spangler was that ho
took charge of Booth's horse on the night
of the assassination, and that be (having
a position in the theatre as stage carpou
ter) arranged with Booth to havo a way
kept open for hia escape.
Hon. Vf. P. Price, in a communication
to the Meoon Telegraph, corrects our late
statement that among the aiguera of the
call made on him to announce himself as
an independent candidate for Congress in
the Ninth District, “are A. O. Wimpey
and other Radicals." Mr. Prico says,
truly, that we confounded A. (1. with
John A. Wimpey; that the former is a
Democrat, as are alk the signers of the
call. We make the oorreotion cheerfully,
and with pleaanre, for Mr. Price is so
strong and influential a man that wo
would have regarded bis intriguing with
the Radicals of his District as an ovent
much to be deplored.
KorACLi, Ala.—The municipal elec
tion in Enfanhrwas held on Monday last.
Wells J. Bray, the Deraooratie nominee
for Mayor, was re-eleoted without oppo
sition, receiving 1140 votes. George II.
B ports an waa re-elected Clerk, and T. D.
Patterson, Marshal—both withont opposi
tion. The Aldermen elect are W. T.
Simpson, A. W. Black, John G. Smith,
Henry Bernatien, J. M. Bowdon, J. C.
McKenzie, L. W. McLaughlin, George C.
McOormiok. The question of freeing tlio
city bridge was voted npon at the same
time, and 80 vtotea ware cast for “free
bridge." As the remainder are oonnted
against it, the bridge will not be freed.
Ma. Samuil Moobk, who reeontly ro-
tunred to Hnntsville, Ala., from bis plan
tation in Mississippi, gives the Indepen
dent a rathsr.uuinvitiug account of tbo
condition of things in that State, to which
Bill Turner and others are trying to en-
tioa Alabama negroes. Mr. Moore says
tha negroes are swarming to Mississippi
in great numbers, and of course, in very
destitute circumstances. Mr. M. says that
five hundred have been turned away from
bis plantation. They proposed to work
for him for eight dollars a month, and
many begged him to bring them back to
Alabama.
Tub Biver and Harbor bill, as pasted
by the House of Representatives on
Saturday, contains several appropriations
for the improvement of rivers in Ala
bama. The Tennessee river abovo Chat
tanooga gets 140,000; below Chattanoo
ga and inoluding Musolo Shoals it gets
$100,000. The harbor at Mobile gets
$20,000. The bill provides for tho im
provement of the Warrior and Tomliig-
bee rivers below Tuskaloosa and Deiuopo-
lia $25,000, in addition to any unexpended
balanoe remaining from the npproprin
tiou for the harbor of Mobile. There ia
no other appropriation for Alubaiua,
The bill further directs that the Secretary
of War cause to be made an examination
or survey of the Alabama river from
Wetumpka to its mouth.
Wn find in the St. Lonis Commercial
(Jaeette an article beaded “State Debts in
Default,” in which Georgia is pnt down
as in default to the amount of $11,000,-
000—which is far in excess of all dis
owned claims against ths State. It is
about the full amount of all the outstand
ing bonds of tha State, both legal and
illegal. It is true that the Oiuette says
that “Georgia and Minnesota have dis
owned the debts"; but this does uot do
fall justice to Georgia. She hss ouly
disowned debts which she nover anther
iaed, and the making of which was n
fraud. It lias just been discovered that
instead of repudiating too much of her
bonded debt, the has actually paid too
musA—that is, she has paid a large
amount of bonds twieo. This feet alone
ia sufllcient to taint with fraud all the
bonds negotiated by the agents who have
perpetrated thia fraud upon her.
Omlt one week of the term of I he
preseut Congress remains, and anxiety ns
to the fate of several Radical parly uieas-
nraa intensifies. It is bolieved that they
will still make a desperate effort to pass
the Civil Rights hill and admit l’inch-
baek, and perhaps to pass the Force bill.
The Demoo rats may resist all these meas
ures by oonsumiog time. A special to
the Cincinnati Commercial says (hat of
the pending political measures the follow
ing in their relative order are the most
repugnant to the Democrats, aud the oues
which they will especially endeavor to
defeat: First, the Civil Rights bill; sec
ond, tha Presideut's Arkansas Message ;
third, the political, or habeas corpus bill;
fourth, Pinohbaek. Schurz, in advising
with Democratic Senators, says that the
seating of Pinohbaek is a much lesser
evil and a better precedent than the pass
age of the Edmunds resolution for a new
election in Louisiana.
WHA-r CAN THEY CAIN T
Dispatches published in the New Orleans
papers of Tuesday show that a great press
ure from Washington waa being brought
to bear to induce the Conservatives to ao-
oept Mr. Wheeler's proposition of com
promise or adjustment. This Louisiana
question, as we have heretofore ooatend
cd, is now of a national oharacler, and
one in which the people of every State
take an interest. We therefore make the
inqniry, what does the Wheeler compro
mise promise the Conservative people of
Louisiana? What will they gain by
adopting it? It will be observed that the
only material difference between the
Wheeler propoeition and that offered by
tbo Conservatives, is that the former in
sists on a recognition of Kellogg as the
rightful Governor until the end of his
term; while the latter agrees to acqoieaoe
in Kellogg’s rale and not to make opposi
tion to it ae long as he is upheld hy Gen.
Grant—that is, an acqniesoeaoe in the in.
evitable, without conceding the right of
Kellogg. Upon this difference turns all
that is worth contending for in the
dispute, and that ia why Wheeler,
Grant aud tha othor Radicals
so strogly insisted on it. If the Conser
vatives admit Kellogg’s legal election and
right of his position, they give np oppo
sition to Pinchback, and he will be at
once admitted. They accept the Senate
ns constituted in the interest of Kellogg
fraudulently two years ago, and this will
givo tho Radioals a majority on joint bal
lot in the Legislature, notwithstanding
tho allowing to the Conservatives of a
majority in the House, whioh the Wheeler
proposition takes care to limit to a Data
ller not exceeding the Radioal majority in
I he Senate. It is plain that the Wheeler
plan demands of the Conservatives a sur
render of the principle for whieh they
have contended, and gives them in return
no substantial advantage whatever, for
with tha Senate ao heavily against them,
hacked by the Govornor, they can do
uotbing in the way of corrootive legiala-
lation. We hope that onr friends in
Louisiana will stand firm and rejsot the
Wheeler proposition.
TREASURES JONES.
There is no man in the State of Geor
gia in whose integrity and honesty the
people had stronger confidence than that
of John A. Jones, State Treasurer. We
believe that we may say that they etill
hare that confidence, for the report of tbo
Legislative investigating committee does
not appear from the telegraphio summary
at hand to impugn his honesty. The
$4,000 balance wholly nnaoconntad for ia
too small an item npon whioh to base
such a charge, in view of his previous
well tested fidelity aud of the condition
in which his books and vouchers were
found. His orimlnality appears to have
consisted in his negligence, to whieh may
he added a lack of sufficient vigilance.
This la rather surprising for a public offi
cer who had for so many yea's occupied
the position of State Treasurer—through
whose hands so many millions of dollars
had passed in the most critical times
and left them clean—who had braved
personal peril and inonrred great
individual responsibility by bis ef
forts to save the State from
plunder on a former memorable ocoasion.
Wo osn only attribute it to an excess! v*
confidence in his own judgmont and ays
tematic habits—a feeling apt to grow on
some men after a long series of unbroken
suocess. If this ha tbo trne theory of
his failure to produce proper vouehers, it
proves tho correctness of the committee's
conclusion that ho ought now to resign
an office for tbo suooesafnl administration
of whioh he is no longer ns ;well qualified
ns in tho times daring which ho made for
himself so honorable a record as a fearless,
vigilant and incorruptible public servant.
Wo trnst that ho will do this, end that
further investigation will wholly vindicate
him from nuy charge or enapicion of a
wilful misapplication of a single dollar
of tho publio funds.
It is easy to understand how Treasurer
Jones could ignorantly (and we think
oven properly) have redeemed bonds that
had been or ought to have been provioua
ly redeemed. Henry Olewg Sc Go. had
boen entrusted hy Bnllock with funds
with which to redeem or exchango a large
amount of State bonds. They became
involved in a dispute with tho State as to
tho amount of commissions allowed them
and refused to make a detailed statement
of their operations, making only a gen
oral one giving tho pretended amount of
the bonds whioh they had taken up. Un
dor this showing, tho existence of any
outstauding bond was prima facie evi
donco that it hud not been redeemed, and
it would seem to have been Treasurer
Jones’ duty to redeem it on pre
sentation. The proper way to have pre
vented this would have been for the
Legislature or the Governor to instruct
him not to pay any outstanding bonds of
the clast which Clews A Co. had been au
thorized to take np, until they made a
better showing. The presumption now
is that Clews A Co. did not redeem the
amount of bonds which they claimed to
have redeemed, and that they have thus
oxtorted a largo aiuouut of their exorbi
tant claim for commissious. Their fail
ure siuoe that time (we believe that they
have gone iuto bankruptcy too) is by no
mesuH assuring that the State has aiiy
remedy as agsiust them. The old proverb
holds it to bo a foolish thing to shut tbs
stable door after the steed is stolen. Bat
certainly tho facts disclosed would war
rant the suspension of payment of prin
cipal or iuteisst on any bonds of the State
that have passed through the hands of
Clews A Co.
of office has expired, was passed. The
Senate recoded from its amendment lo
the Alien or Foreign Corporation bill (re
quiring aliens to actually cultivate and
develop the soil they purchase), concurred
in tha lions# amendments, and passed the
bill. It also passed the following Honso
bills: To make it lawful for the Sheriff
of Crenshaw county to sot as constable to
magistrates snd notaries, with an amend
ment extending the provisions of the bill
to a'l counties exoept Mobile and Madi
son; To authorize llenry oonnty to levy a
special tax. The Ilonae bill to allow Wil
cox, Pickens, Greene and Rtissoll counties
to levy a special tax for bridge purposes,
was tabled on the suggestion that tho
Commissioners' Courts already bad tho
power. Honse hill to authorize the judges
of Circuit Courts, daring term of court,
to fix the bail and endorse the saino on
the indictment, was referred.
In the House, Mr. Fielder, from Speoial
Committee on Peuuitentiary, reported fa
vorably to bill authorizing the Governor
to lease the penitentiary farm, together
with stook, implements, Ac. The bill
limits tho nninber of convicts to be hired
with (he penitentiary to 135. It was made
a special order for Thursday. The bill
to establish a new charter for Selma was
amended by a contraction of the city lim
its, aud passed by a vote of 55 to 23,
after long continned opposilion *by the
Radical members.
one of his men fotind he bed forgotten
bis overcoat. Tbo corporal thought it
was not safe for him to go back alone,
but to take another man with him, and
as they started back they were fired at j
from an ambnsh, and the two men fell. |
The corporal and his men returned the j
fire, retreating to Ringgold Barracks, j
closely pnrsned by the armed band of ;
Mexicans.
Gen. Hatch immediately pnt two comp
anies in motion, accompanied by the
sheriff and a jnstice of the peace, his
command acting aa a pootc to assist the
sheriff in making arrests.
Home nine men were arrested for tho
mnrdcr of the soldiers, and there are as
many more over} in Mexico. The aloaede
at Camargo returned tho hones of two
soldiers, who were killed, with all tbeir
trappings. This fact of the horses be
ing taken to Mexico shows conclusively
thi.t the party that came to the Solis
ranche were from Mexico, and that they
had an expedition on hand.
It ia believed that the endeavors of
Gen. Hatch to give protection along the
up river will prove fntile. Under theso
circumstances the United States Govern
ment onght to adopt vigorons measures
to repress these evils, or st least to per
mit the people of Texas to pnuish these
Mexican assassius and robbers, and thus
secure the protection of life and property
on the lower ltio Grande.

MATTERS AT T1IE CAPITAL.
Atlanta, February 23, 1875.
Bdttort Enquirer-Sun The Finance
Committee to-day made a report in rela
tion to the condition of our State Treas
ury, and while tbs committee does not
assail Treasurer Jones' iutegrity, yet, in
my humble judgement, it does him great
injustice in other ways—and this report
requests him to resign, and it further
recommends, if he dees not resign that
tho Governor appoint a financial agent,
Ae.
Col. Jones will not resign. He does
not feel that he is either a defaulter or
that he has acted oriminally wrong in
any way,and I learn from him that he will
die in tbo last ditch” in defence of
his character and his interests. I| learn
from him also, that he has vouchers for
what he is out in cash, that are good in
law, that the Committeo would not allow
him, Ac., Ac.
From all that I can learn, I don’t think
that his bondsmen are in danger of suffer
ing, in the matter. I would advise all
persons not to form any judgment until
they hear from the Treasurer. As I have
neither read or heard read all of the re
port ot the Finanoo Committee, I have
formed no paiticular opinion about the
matter, exoept that I think tho Committee
(unintentionally I suppose) has dbne Col.
Joneimnch injustice in their report.

In the twenty-fear hours following the
secession of the Empire, all* those, it is
said, who are now walking with an unea-
sy air on the lino of the Boulevards would
be at the posts allotted them iu anticipa
tion, and ready to enter on their duties.
In twenty-four hours all those too ripe
or unripe fruits which the wind of tho
4th of September shook off from the
imperial tree, would disappear from the
throng on the Boulevards to find them
selves in the four oorners of the country,
there to enforce tho regulations of the
new Government. Outside this not yot
installed staff, the Empire already com
mands a certain number of
partisans now in office, who
are quite ready to facilitate the ta»k of the
morrow lo the new oorners. In addition
to those functionaries, the Empire reckons
Deputies, great dignitaries, writers and
artists. For some days it has possessed
a Marshal of France ready to raugo him
self under its Flag—ao, at least the Bona
partism allege—aud reserving himself
from this moment for n more promiuot
role than that of simple Marshal of Frunce.
In the last plaae, the I’rince ImpnriAl
haring been reproachd with being too
young aud the Empire with having no al-
lio.t, there has been a talk for some days
with wurked persistency, though iu a
mysterious tone,of a project of allies be
tween the Princo Imperial and a jDanish
Priucess, sister of the Priuce
of Whales and the Uesarovan.x Dag-
ui lr. It is confidentially affirm
ed that tho Prince of Wales and
the Queen, his mother, are very favorable
to the sobeme, that the house of Denmark
is inclined to it, anil that Russia alone
shows some hesitation, which, however,
it is added, will, there is overy reason to
believe, shortly come to an end, so that
the marriage will soon bo arranged. It is
objected, indeed, that the Priucess in
question, is two and a half years older
than ths Prince, who is ouly nineteen.
Those who talk of tha match and believe,
or wish to believe, or effect to believe iu
it, reply by dwelling on tho eel •/. and ad
vantages such an aliiaoee would offer to
the Prince Imperial. “It would be like a
providential indication," said an enthu
siast yesterday; “tho threo Dauish Prin
cesses would he married to three heirs of
the greatest thrones in the world, con
sorts of the King of Englsud and tho Em
perors of tho French and Russia. We
should bring alliances ready made, and
Germany, perhaps, ih view of this posi
tion and in consideration of indemnify,
would make the Prinoess a wedding pres
ent of tbo two unfortansto Provinoes.
which would be au everlusting cause of
hatred and an inevitable pretext for war.”
Thus the Bonnpartists are ready, and I
may add there is reason to suppose that
on Sunday tbo electora of the Seioo-et
Oise will send to the Assembly the Due
de Padouo, a connexion of tho Imperial
family. In presence of this immediate
danger, (he Royalist party feels its torrors
increase.

Consumptives, Tak* Notice—Every mo-
mont of delay rnako your cure more hopeless,
and tnuoh depends on the judioious choice of a
remedy. Tho amount of testimony In favor of
Dr. Sohonck’s Pulmonic Syrup, as a ouie for
consumption, far exceeds all that can bo
brought to support the pretentions of any othor
medicine. Soe Dr. Sohonck’s Almanac, con
taining tho certificates of many persons of tho
highest respectability, who havo been restored
to health, after being pronounced ineurablo by
physicians of acknowledged ability. Schenck’s
Pnlmonio Syrup alone has oured many, as
these evidences will show; but the cure is often
promoted by two other remedies which Dr.
Selienck provides for the purpose. These ad
ditional remedies are Sehenek’s Sea Weed
Tonlo and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use
of theso medicines, according.to directions, Dr
Schi nek certifies that most Lay case of Oon*
sumption may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch Sts, Philadelphia,
every Mon ay, where all letters for advlco
must be addressed.
