The Imperial Bank of Germany ia fortified with 8187,510,000, while the Austrian National Bank holds 868.805.000. In England, reoently, Ann Vibert, widow aged 77, aned Biobard Hamaton, aged 67, for breaoh of promise. They bad agreed to marry, hot on the eve of the day appointed for the wadding she made beefstaek-pie whioh to the man proved unprintable. Thereupon he de- olared he would not marry her. The jury awarded the plaintiff $60 damages. Tna highest level of the Panama Bail- road is only 262 feet above the sea. Tide water makes from the Paoiflo to within aboat three miles in a direct line of this summit, while the Valley of the Bio Grande approaches, with a deep depres sion,to vtlthin a|stones throw of the divide, -'ll la this route through whioh it is pro posed to construct a canal. Gsoaon W. Trtsa, a San Franeisoo lawyer, aned a lady for 8100,000, for ser vices as oouasel in procuring her a di vorce. The jury gave him a verdict for 810.000. At first they brought it iu for gold ooin, but under instruction of the court, returned a second time declaring for tbs asms amount, bnt not specifying whether in legal tender, silver, or gold. Hampton in Wq-minotoh.—Governor Hampton reached Wilmington yesterday. His reception was an ovation. Ho re- eatad that ha desired no recognition from Hayea, and that he bases all bis oleins to office on the will of the people of South Carolina. It ia believed he will win, and that troops will be removed from the State House. That is all he asks. Chamberlain ia also in the oity. “That Lass O’Lowbib’s," by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, to be oonolnd- ad in the Hay Scribner, will ba published in book form, with Frederick's illustra tions, by Seribner, Armstrong A Co., early In April, and will be not only this young author's first book, but her first large venture in fiction. The Scribner editors are natually dslighted at having brought bar forward, and the general pub- lie will aoon thank both them and the now writer herself for a story of great dra matic power. Bbobntlt, In Paris, ths Cashier and a receiving olerk of a broker in stooks and bonds went to the Syndioal Chamber to deliver the aerip for the February set tlement. On arriving there the Cashier retired, aa his presence was not needed, and the olerk imprudently left on a shelf a portfolio conntaining the values while he proceeded to another part of the room to fill up certain forma. When he returned, the poperty, amounting in value to 8142,- 000, had disappeared. Kaixooo gives an eooount of an inter view with Senator Morion, in which Mor ton told him that he, Edmunds, and Mo MiUan, members of the Committee on Privileges and Stations, had agreed to repent in favor of seating Senator Eostia at ths next session, upon the ground that the Senate having deoided that Pinohbaok was not legally elected Senator, there was a vacancy, and that Euatia having been alaotad by the Wheeler Legislature, the legality of whioh had never been disputed,. he (Euatia) was naeaaaarily the Senator for the unexpired term of Pinohbaok. Tnn people of Bristol, Pennsylvania, on the road between New York and Phila delphia, decided a few days ago that they would make a choice of postmaster by election. They oboes a man named Ba ker by ninety-two majority, whose name was sent to the Postoffioe Department, and he was at onoe appointed. The late incumbent tuned up in Washington in breathless anxiety to know why he had bean turned ouL “Why should yon have bean kept inF' inquired ths Pan General. “Beeaaae I thought that under the civil service rules I would not ba dis- turbad," wm the anatter. He was told that sight yearn of service had probably issprirsd hia eOciesmy, and that there was ne help for him new. LOUISIANA COMMISSION mow is Tan o pro stun itt roi manly bx- SISTANOn. It baa beam announced that this aaake- shift will oonaist of five numbers. In aoeordaaoe with Federal usage the mem bers will be politically proportioned on tbs sigbt-to-aeven plan, whose rulings they ere expeeted to follow. We most truly hope that if the membership is formed in this manner, that ex-Governor Brown, of Tennessee, will promptly resign his ap pointment, and no other Demoorat will consent to carve. With three Bepublioans and two Democrats only one result oan be attained and that is two reports—the majority favoring Paokard and the mi nority Nioholls, and His Fraudulenoy will side with the majority. There ia a possibility, nay, a very strong probability, the true objeot of this Com mission is to effect one of the ahameleM compromises whioh too often already have oppressed Louisiana. It may ba argued that Nioholls and his chief offloers may be retained, and perhaps a small Demo cratic majority in ths Legislators, pro vided two Badioal Senators are stated and some Badioal members are admitted into the Honse. Some such aim Is the design of the enormons shifting Fraud whom Iniquity has pnt in the White House. Gov. Nioholls has plainly proclaimed that he, like Hampton, aseka no Presides tial recognition, that bs is Governor by ths will of the people, and that no agree ment to compromise the people and State will be made while be is In the Executive chair. This is the eorreot view. Hamp ton has enunoiated the same dootrine. All he asks is the removal of troops,that it may be demoatrated to the world whioh gov ernment is sustained by the people. They desire to have States, not provisoes; to be freemen, not slaves. If this Commission be oomprlsed as sup posed and whioh there ia every reason to think will be its composition and Demo crats will serve on it, the Demooraoy of Louisiana shonld have nothing to do with it. Let them examine Paokard and his crew at will. Ths body was formed for their benefit and for the protection of Badioalism. Bush commissions have vis ited the State before, and every time the desperate fortunes of carpet-bagism has been strengthened and its forces rallied by the protection afforded by ths Federal government and the traokling of Democ racy for the sake of harmony. On every oooasion intelligence and wealth and skilled labor have been the suffer ers, and the cause of looal self government, and State oontrol of its own affairs weakened. Eaoh yielding, every compromise has paved the way for more ef a similar character. The Com mission will resolve itself in partisanship as did the National lteturning Board. It has no authority. It haa no power to summon witnesses, still less to foroe attendance. We hope it will be wholly ignored as a body politio and its members be treated simply as any other visitors of distinction. Now is the time to make the bold and open oonteat. Better be defeated than oompromiso. Throw the whole re sponsibility of the overthrow of ths gov ernment of the choice of a majority of the votes on the White House Fraud and his bayonets. Go down with colors fly ing, not soil them in the dirt of a filthy compromise to advanoe Badicalism. By the manly stand the sympathy of the continent will be won, and at the next election victory will triumphantly orown the efforts of prinoely leaders, and make His Fraudulenoy consent to acknowledge that the men who own the land must rule it. In two years the Demooraoy will have both houses of Congress, and then Brad ley's man oan be foroed to terms. The night telegram brings the Gom- mission. It is worse than dreamed of. His Frandulenoy has appointed a orowd packed for Paokard. What showing will the Nioholls Government have before such a committee) 1 The only Democrat on it is ex-Gov. Brown, of Tennessee,and he ought to resign at onoe. The oompo- Oh, Most Libxbal Commission.—What ohanos doss Governor Nioholls stand be fore a commission oomposed as follows: Ex-Governor J. C. Brown, of Tennessee, Democrat,- Wayne MoVsigh, of Pennsyl vania, Be publican, and son-in-law of Simon Oameron; Gen. J. U. Hawley, of Conneotient, Uepnblleen ; Gen. J. M. Harlan, of KentuoVy, Republican; Jndge C. B. Lawrenoe, Illinois, Republican- four Bepublioans and one Demoorat. Is not this a delightful party to deoids between a Republican and Demoo ratio government in a Southern State? Fol lowing the preoedant of the National Re turning Board, the vote will be 4 to 1 in favor of Radicalism. Hts Fraudulenoy might as well recognise Packard at onoe, and end the farce without this palpable subterfuge. No better oan be expeeted of John Sherman, who ia the real Presi dent of these United States. Judos 8. F. Rios, a leading Alabama Republican, has very decidedly refuted the lies of Spsnoer and Morton, to the effeot that the Democrats earned Alaba ma by “murder and intimidation.” In addressing Hayea the other day, at the head of a delegation, Judge Bioe said that the fruitful cause of the defeat of the Republican party in Alabama was the mistakes made by the Federal adminis tration in its appointments in hia State. The people are not, said he, opposed to Northern men settliog in hia Slate and beooming bona-fide oitlxens and identify ing themselvM with the interests of Ala bama, bnt they were oppoeed to mere po litioal adventurers being forced upon them for their own personal advantage, in di rect opposition to the wishes of the good people of all oolors in Alabama. That is the ease in South Carolina and Louisiana mao, and means that he will con tinue to support Radicalism and its attendant evils in Louisiana. Instead of a ballot of three to two it will be font to one. This is a specimen of the pacifica tory polioy inaugurated by cheating and swindling. We are glad of it. The course is intensifying the South against him and solidifying every element of op position against the Republican party and His Fraudulenoy. There is every reason why the Demooraoy of Louisians shonld ignore this commission. Its very con ception is iniquitous. Seen a Chabmino Fuaox Policy.— Ths Democrats in Louisiana and all the tax payers worthy of mention asked that troops be removed from Louisiana that it might be decided freely by the people which Government they preferred to sup port. Paokard asked the sid of troops. The White House Fraud, after all his blarney abont reconciliation, harmony, pacifica tion and restoration sends a commission oomposed of four Republicans and one Demoorat to decide. Lovely this. The Re turning Board will duly prooeed to oount Packard in. That is the order of the day. The Democrats voted 280,000 mors ballots than the Republicans in the late election, and get one member on the commission. That’s their proportion says this hugs patriot, mis called President, who proved the moet egregious pretender that ever disgraoed a oountry. Let him at onoe talk out like Grant did, and not prove a continuous traitor and falsifier to hia own words. He ia doing splendid work in strengthening Democracy. Gum. Gonnou's aooount of the letters of Foster and Matthews is given this morn- ing. It is strange after the experience of the Electoral Commission that Democrat ic leaders would be duped and tricked by say such vague promisee. They might have known Hayes would break any pledge made by his friends if he chose so to do after office was secured. We ad mire the eonduet of tbs filibusters more and more as events transpire. Fraud-ae- eepting-Hayes ought to have been impli cated in the pledges by all means. I Ex-Govibmox William Allxm proposes to ran sgain for the Ohio Governonhip. Is it not sad to think npon that, aftar all, the eloquent Republican speeches in the 8enate and Honse, during the lest twelve years or so, extolling the Superior qualifications of the oolored man as a sol dier, the New Orleans Republican, Pack ard’s organ, says: “Can ths President redeem his pledge by withdrawing from the colored people the protection of the government, and leaving them to the violence which pre vented so many of them from voting for his eleotion? Wt tell the Preeident that then people are no eoldiere. They are undoubtedly breve, and it enlisted into the regular army would make good sol diers. Bnt they have not the time or means, nor have they the daily habit of using firearms whioh prepares the Dem ooraoy for instantaneous military servioe. We repeat that the ability to go through the manual is not a qualification for suff rage. In consequenoe the standing army of the Democracy oonld disperse the col ored Republicans in almost every parish of the State, and would be a virtual aban donment or ‘the rights of the people baa emancipated.' ” Yet it is not “the oolored Republicans' whioh the organ wants to proteot. The bayonets are wanted to keep the 2,500 white Bepnblioans of Louisiana in post tions facilitating plunder. That is all. Quick Wobk.—The New York Herald gives several oolumns, embracing all the details of the notable race on the Thames between the eight-oared boats of the Uni' varsities of Oxford and Cambridge the morning it oocurred. The Herald, with jnstioe, prides itBelf npon this and other remarkable telegraphio achievements, and says: “So complete were the preparations of onr London bureau that, taking advan tage of ths difference of time and the early hour of the race, we were enabled to place a large portion of our oity read srs in possession of the result at their breakfast tables. This is the mere re markable when we reflect that the race ended at 8:51:14, and that the stereotype plates containing the result were placed on the presses at 4:30—forty minntes, aotuel time, after the finishing gnn was fired. It ia the verification of onr proph< eoy, made years ago, that the oable must wholly sups reeds the mail. It marks the death beyond resurreotion of the special correspondent.” Don J. Mozabt, the unfortunate wateh inventor, died et the Oonnty Poor House, aition is a sufficient teat of Bradley's: in * nn ^ r * >or > Mioh., on the 15th inst. He was onoe a well-to-do jeweler iu that oity, and auoeeeded in inventing a watoh whioh had auoh snperior qualities that stock company with a large capital was formed for its manufacture. Everything was in readiness for work, when, taking his model spart for some slight improve ment, he seems to have been so over, some with his suoeeas that his mind was weakened, and he found himself nnable to put the wheels togather again. Soon after he became hopelessly eraxy. His small fortnns was lost, and hia family left with nothing bnt a home. He was placed nnder the care of phyaioiens at the Kalamaioo Insane Asylum, bnt oonld not be cured. The Masonio fraternity have sinoe provided for him in connec tion with ths oonnty. Thx franking privilege was partly re stored by an act of the last Congress, whioh provides “that it shall ba lawful to transmit through the mail, free of poet- age, any letters, paokages or other mat ters relating exclusively to the business of the Government of the United States. • • That Senators, Representatives and delegates in Congress, the Secretary of the Senate and Olerk of the House of Representatives may send and reoeive through the mail all publlo documents printed by order of Congress, and the name of eeeh Senator, Representative, delegate. Secretary of the Senate and Olerk of the Honse shall be written there on, with the proper designation of the offioe he holds, and the provisions of this section shall apply to eaoh of the persons named therein, until the first day of Da- oamber following the expiration of their respective terms of offioe." Hayss Photoobaphbd.— An ex-member of the government, of rather reputable standing for a Republican, called Hayes. After the interview he was asked what he thought of him, to which be re plied: “I must say that I am not favora bly impressed, and think we are going to have a deplorable administration. Hayea talked to me patroulxiagly, as if I was a fool. He will split on the asms rock Franklin Pieroe did—he hasn't the oour- age to say ‘no.’ He is neither milk ner water.” JOTTMvam rasa cuaitARSo. cmi. Court week In OhaMaBunuhee ended Wsdneadsy evening abont three o’oloek, and onr fellow elUnen Cary J. Thornton, prooeeded Immediately after the adjourn ment to give his reasons for being oppos ed to a Convention. We have not beard from his speech, and are unable to Inform our readers as to the argument or the ef fect prodaoed. There la no doubt but that than are many persons in that oonnty who really believe a Convention uniiansmsry, and an now opposed to it; but we an not without hope that upon a full discussion of the subject onr neighbors will take a different view. But ws advise the friends of the Convention to treat the opinions of those whe an so opposed with respect, and endeavor by argument and reason to oonvinoe them of their error. The criminal docket ooeupied bnt a few momenta The esse of Badeliff, of this oonnty, who is indicted for laroeny from the house of Judge MoElvey was continued. His eounsel, J. A. MoNsil, Esq., we an informed, made the beat showing for a eontinuanoe ever heard in this oirouit. If he makes as good a de fence Uadetiff will be acquitted. A oolored gentleman was Indiotsd for stealing from the wagon of Capt. B. F. Davis, of 8tewart, the provision box with all its oontenta, consisting in the words of the indiotment,of “oooked meat." He was one of those long, lank, hungry look ing darkies, who seemed to have all the capacity of a crane, and no more conscience. There not being snffloient evidenoe to convict, the jury were dlreot- ed to find a verdict of “net guilty.” Judge Crawford ia at least a good judge of a negro, and bad followed his father’s wagon to« town too often not to know the value of the provision box, so be improved the occa sion to tell the gentlemen that everybody knew he stole the box and congratulated him upon his escape, “because," said ths Jndge, “if you had been found guilty you would have been badly hurt.” We ad vise Ospt. Davis to look aftar his commis sary department better. We understand that two of onr leading merchants were disappointed in their efforts to oondemn esrtsin property to ths peymsnt of thsir execu tions and left Guaaeeta after sapper. They were so muoh dispirited with Chattahoochee jnstioe that they deter mined not to sleep another night in the county. We hope they got home safe and know they did not take cold from their ride as they were mad enough to keep warm all night. * ALABAMA ARM GEORGIA. FABMINO—PLXNTY or COTTON and debt— THE OEOBOIA CONVENTION AND PBSTINENT QUESTIONS. Hioeoby Flat, Ala , ) Maroh 25, 1877.) Editor Enquirer-Sun: Yonr Weekly paper resohes this point on Thursday, about 11:30 a. M. It is asgerly sought for the news it brings and for the knowl edge it conveys from your correspondents in different parts of the oountry. The letter of your Florida correspondent, Mr. Sidney Herbert, was read and re-read by a good many up here, who are anticipa ting a trip to that Btate. He promised to write again, whioh we will anxiously wait for. The people iu this community have for the most part oome from Georgia, and all of them are more or leee dissatisfied, and a great many will return to Georgia and remain. The farmers in this oommnnity are just fairly oommeneed planting. They are making arrangements to plant a large cotton crop. They are small farmers, running from one to three plows gener ally. The most of them do their own work, and there ia none too muoh of it done, I'll assure you. They are using more gnano than usual, and are buying oorn end baoon on credit. They are in debt, and very muoh inolined to stay in There are a few energetio and prosperous farmers. Messrs. John and Hsnry Striok- Isnd, and Hr. Jeff Breed, Mr. Frank Pat terson and Mr. Baker are among the num ber, and about all that I know of. The remainder are poor, in debt and despond ing, like myself. All are interested in watching the oonrse of your Convention, the election for whioh oomee off in June. I propose, Mr. Editor, to ask u few questions whioh you will answer at yonr oonvenienee for the benefit of some of yonr subscribers. Will the people vote for or against mov ing the capital to MillsdgevUle ? Will ths people be foolish enough to send a professional legislator te that Convention 7 W onld they, the professional Isgialalors, ba willing to incorporate a olause into the new Constitution to stop the repealing of laws only at intivala of snob length aa to enable the oommon people to beeome somewhat familiar with the common laws of the oountry 7 Were not people more honest in old times, whan every man whom you met could tell you ths funda mental law of the Btate 7 Doea not a knowledge of anything that ia for our ben efit make os love and respect it more than we oonld without that knowledge? Can a farmer, who ia largely interested in the country, ever know anything of the law as long as it la passed in January, distrib uted in August through ths distriots, and repealed or altered the following January? Will not a man become indifferent after knowing that he oannot lsarn the law 7 What do you think of the idea of making lawa and make them to stand as law, say for three or four years, at least, before they oan be altered 7 Could the meeting of the Legislature be every four or more yearn instead of every year, would not it be a great'saving to the State, and would not the swarm of offioe soakers in that time fludaoaae other employment and the office hunt the man Instead of the reverse. Little Jack. rOETRit-MATTMKWR LRTTMRB. WHAT OEM. OOBDOM HAS TO SAY ABOUT TEEM. A special to the Charleston Journal e/fi Commerce has this: In an interview with Senator Gordin he said to yonr ooibiMMalmt that he was greatly surprised’ « (he pfctHSUtien of the reports, and tagreWad that ths fsots had leaked out at mis time. It was true, he said, that bs went to Mr. Foster, aa alleged, sad told him that hs would endeavor to prevent the completion of the oount unless soma guarantees or pled ges ware given as to the course to bs pur- aned by President Hayee’ administration. “I don’t know,” said the Senator, “that I could have done anything or that I could have exerted sufficient influence to hsva prevented a completion of thseoant,but I concluded to try a little bull-dosing on Foster and I succeeded admirably, for he look the matter in hand and r the result was that both hs and Stanley Matthews, made written pledgee hr letters addressed to me, but whioh were never in my bands althdugh I have seen them. Theee let ters were general in their character end pledged the administration to give us local self-government and home rale la the South. There waa nothing in them abont the withdrawal of troops, but it ■ was of oonrse understood that this would follow. What purports to bo extracts from Mat thaws' and Foster's Utters are published, but they are not gennine, although giv ing very nearly the Unor of what U set forth in them. Do yon think President Hayes knew of (his oompaot or was party to It? your cor respondent asked. I know be waa not, said Senator Gor don. TbU you can rsly on most positive ly. Both Fester and Matthews fait that their relations with Mr. Hayes were such that they oonld apeak for him, but I am oertain be was not consulted in the mat' ter. Copies of two lstiers were made and handed around to the Democrats as soon as reoeivad; but I have neither the origi nals nor the oopies, and therefore oonld not famish the fail text, if I was so dis- C ed. I don’t oonsider that there has n any violation of ths pledges given as ydl, although I think the President is pur suing a wrong oonrse just now. If either Hampton or Nioholls should go under, I shonld feel it my duty to assail the trans action, and to show it np in its true light, bnt at present I am content to await the aotion of the Preeident and hia adminU- t ration.
