ATLANTA. GEORGIA, FEBRUARY 22
CS~ Samuel Tjler, of Maryland, is wri

He was appointed by the Justice to the

while English is superior to French sur-

ter says:
- Upon the election In the Legislature, I
received every Republican vote, without
exception, while many among the Dem-
ocru*. believing that I bad been per
secuted. without a cause, also voted
for me."
Will The Atlanta Constitution favor the
country with a list of these Democrats?

We gave the list several days ago, with

his disabilities removed. We are informed
that Mr. Welchell alleges the same reason
for his vote.

would give Executives tho undoubted re

Tho expense of such an officer would be
profitably Incurred.
Highly Creditable.
We are glad to state a creditable act on
the part of the Hon. Dunlap Scott, the Rep
resentative from Floyd county.
Wc called attention, a lew days sgo, to
the iniquity of tho Radical members of the
Legislature voting themselves pay for the
two weeks during which tho body took
Charlotte harbor. If you wish to go into
the saw-mill business, anywhere on tbe St.
Johns or theOclewsha, especially at Melon-
viile, is admirsbly adapted to It, if timber
has not been cut away too far from tbe

simost any interior neighborhood.

It is said, they numbered 30,000, of whom
ten per cent, were confirmed invalids; this
year only about 8,000 havo visited tbe State.
Valuable fisheries are carried od about

To the great honor of Mr. Scott, ho de
clined to take the per diem for the two

Tbe amount thus drawn by tho Assem

titled to compensation, amounts to over

The action of Mr. Scott-in declining, the

and will be remembered kindly by the peo
ple of Georgia.
Congressional Eloquence.
There is, perhaps, no greater foe to true
mesmeric eloquence than the custom of
public men reading long manuscript
speeches. -It is singularly fatal to the fer
vor and electricity of genuine, burning or
atory. Eloquence simmers down into a
cold, stalo delivery of cut-and-drled rhet
oric. A correspondent of the New York
World, thus alludes to the habit in Con
gress:
The practice of reading speeches, so fatal
to the interest of the debates, is on the in
crease in the Senate. Mr. Carpenter, who
is a fluent and eloquent speaker, yesterday
read his Remarks. Mr. Baysrd, who speaks
best off-hand nr without nnte, read most of
his speeeh to day. Mr. Morrill, of Ver
mont. evidently expects to rival Macaulay.
Mr. Garrett Davis, who is a ready and
practised debater, read bis. speech to-day;
and thus is wearing away the tire and elo
quence which has made tbe Senate famous
in history.
More About tlint Indictment
Against Capt. Foster Blodgett
Wo are informed that when Capt. Blod
gett Superintendent-Senator, commanded
a bat;ery of artillery in the Contederatc
service, he published a challenge for a fight
with the Sprague Battery,of Rhode Island.
That battery was raised and equipped by
Gov. Sprague, now a Senator in Congress,
from Rhode Island, and was highly lauded
by thp Fedcrais for its efficiency.
Captain Blodgett’s Confederate soul,
hungry for glory^was not satisfied with
any common eclat, but burned for unusual
distinction.
The challenge issued by the patriotic
Confederate, Is said to be in the hands of a
gentleman to be used whenever the trial for
fibbing shall come off in the United States
Court.
As the Senator has thought proper to
charge that there was simply a political
persecution in this indictment, we have
deemed it not improper to show that tbe
Superintendant-Senator-Captain was sim
ply and rgregionsly mistaken.
Poor Virginia.
Virginia is not yet fully out of the cold,
It seems.
She passqd tbs 14th and 15th Amend
menu before her admission, lint the Rad
icals wan: her to do It again, now that she
it a State, to cure any possible invalidity in
her first ratification. A committee of her
Legislature has reported against doing it.
Grant's organ, the Washington Republi
can, gets its dander up about this, and talks
of a "punishment like that inflicted upon
Georgia.”
Tbe Baltimore Gazette thus comments:
Poor Virginia! She verily believed,
doubtless, that Congress had peremptorily
required her to do all the “■amendment'’
business before she was “admitted" at ail.
She therefore hastened to finish it up. It
seems now to be demanded that she shall
f ro on without so much as a request from a
ittle epauletted upstart, much less Con
gress, to ” do it again.” Pray, when is this
farce to stop? Is she required, whenever
her Legislature assembles in all time to
come, to confirm and affirm and re-affirm
tbe ratification of these precious amend
ments? Will tbe Republican inform the
good people ol that Commonwealth bow

Editor Constitution: My attention has
been called to an artlclo in Saturday's is
sue of your paper, signed A. L. Williams,
in which my name appears, among oth
ers, as having overdrawn mileage. A su
perficial knowledge of the geographical
situation of tbe homes of members from the
Southeastern and Southwestern portions
of tbe State, and a more intimate acquain
tance with tho facilities for travel in those
sparsely settled regions, would havo saved
tbe honorable gentleman the time and ex
pense of investigating what be more than
intimates to be fraud.
He “only mentions a few cases that are
belorc him.” with a promiseof a more com
plete list from Madison.
See his fairness—'“T. G. Campbell and
his son, 870 and 900 miles. The distance
Irom here to Macon is 103 miles; Macon to
Brnnswick 185 miles; and from Brunswick
to Darien 20 miles.” The inference from
tills is. they have over-drawn tor 572 and
G02 miles. A full and fair statement upon
bis own figures only show 251 and 2S-kraiics
over-drawn. But what are the facts:
T. U. Campbell and son go, m any sensi
ble men would go, by the way of Savannah
From here to Savannah is 300 miles; from
Savannah to Darien by water 135 miles;
irom Darien to their plantation 15 miles—in
all 450 miles, and return, total miles coming
and going, 900-
Tbe same honorable gontleman adds:
“ Virgil Hillyer, of Camden, 8t. Mary’s, re
ports 1,030 miles, only forty from Bruns
wick.” lelt in that way on purpose to give
a false impression. 1 can inform the hon
orable gentleman that Camden is one of the
iargest counties in the State, territorially,
and that I do not live io St. a.ary’s; tlint I
choose my own way and mode of convey
ance to get home. And that he may be
more enlightened on tbcsubject, I will add.
that I came to St. Mary’s by private con
veyance. from St. Mary’s by steam boat to
Savannah—land and water travel 215 miles
—from Savannah, via rail, to Atlanta, 300;
total, 615 miles, and I expect to return the
same way, making in all 14)30 miles. These
claims for mileage were before the Audit
ing Committee, the chairman of which,
though differing from me in politics. (W.
M.Tumlin) is one of the most honorable,
high-minded members of tbe House, and it
seems to me, when they havo passed upon
a claim, be ss chairman, it should be suffi
cient guarantee of its correctness. I have
only referred to three of the cases. I pre-
anme the others are susceptible ol the same
explanation. If not, they can be reached
by a more honorable, satisfactory way than
through the public journals.

from its loveliness. All thi3 is tbe workol

nearly every street, every column, everv

the Corsican House. Aye. raise Paris from
its foundations, until not one stone

great letter “ N ” will be seen upon every
shattered piece of marble, as the mighty
name of Ceasar gives life and glory W the

gent Frenchman to us, that all you say Is
true, yet these improvements are not made
for Parisians, but are made for strangers,
who come here to live In luxury, and with
whom tbe French are not rich enough to
contend. On account of which you see
that living is twice as expensive S3 two
years ago. Yet, we answer, your parks
and gardens are thrown gratuitously open
to the public, and the increased priceof liv
ing is not confined to Paris, for it is a well
known fact that food and rent have in
creased in a two-fold ratio throughout tbe
whole of Europe. No. it is not the despo
tism ol tbe present government, but that
never-ceasing desire for chaDge, eo highly
characteristic of tho French character,
which is tbe causa of the cry for a Republic
or return of tho Bourbous.

A Duel with Swords in New York
City.
The New York Herald states that a duel
took place In that city on Sunday night,
between Mr. George Fronde, an English
man, and Mr. Francisco de Porto, the Cu
ban who was seriously wounded in a duel
with Mr. De Couto. the editor of the Span
ish journal El Cronista, in Canada, last
summer. The cause of this last affray arose
from certain taunts uttered by Fronde on
Saturday night, in reference to the conduct
of Cubans iu New York city, which so en
raged De Porto that he spat in Proudo’s
face. Preparations for a hostile meeting
were at once entered upon. The Herald
says:

spacious back parlor of the house in ques

ants stripped for the contest, tho seconds
now and then whispering, something to
those about to engage. Only about a half
dozen persons were present, each ono of
whom was thrilled by a nervous excite
ment. A splendid chandelier shed a flood
of light around the room, though other
wise the place was excessively cold, so cold
indeed, as to necessitate the wearing ot a

Pams, January 30,1870.
Editor Constitution: It is a beautiful Sab
bath day; the sun as bright, the air soft and
genial as on a May day in our own South.
I presume the good people at homo are just
about now on their way to Church. How
I would like to join them. IVehave Amer
ican Protestant Churches in Paris, and last
Sunday the present writer attended one,
but unlike Cacaline we do not threaten a
return. The place was. decidedly yankee—
the congregation dressed yankee—the
preacher preached yankee—the choir sang
yankee—in short, tbe whole atmosphere
was yankee. Our French brethren (I sup
pose we are all brethren dating from Adam)
don’t trouble their heads mueh about relig
ious subjects; except now and then to some
poor woman or laborer who steal into the
great Churches of the Catholic persuasion,
where they kueel on the cold marble for
hours.confcssing their human errors. Tbe
Lord’s Day is one of much pleasure and
rejoicing. Not long since there was held
here a great festival in honor of St. Gene
vieve, the patron saint of Paris. Crowds
daily wended their way to the Pantheon,
and once your correspondent found himself
going in the same direction to behold the
mysterious doings inside. Entering the
magnificent building, we bebeld an im
mense throng pressing eagerly towards a
gilded vessel in the shape of an ark, into
which a Holy Father was dipping crosses,
rings, keys, and all manner of trinket-,
muttering at tbe same time some words.
Desiring to have a nearer look at the vessel,
I determined to have a ring that 1 bad re
cently purchased christened; so awaiting
my turn, I began to approach, after having
my ,toea severely tested by some burly
Frenchman, and bruising in turn a pretty
girl’s, who give utterance to the usual
“ mon dleu.” I found myself in close prox
tmity to tbe vessel. Casting several sous
into a piste deposited for tbe purpose, I ex
tended my ring to the good father who
ipped it into some holy water and gave it
back.
Excitement after excitement have sue
cceded each other in rapid succession io
this Vesuvius-like city. First, we had the
unexampled Troppman murder and his ex
ecution; then Prince Pierre Bonaparte,
exasperated by the outrageous insults writ
ten against his family, shot one of the
writers or the slanderous journals, and is
now on trial before the High Court of Cas
sation for homicide.
The dead man’s body was followed to the
grave by one hundred thousand workmen,
who afterwards collected on the Champs
Elysea, shouting “Vive Rochefort I” and
-Down with the Emperor.” It needed but
an Antony to show them “sweet Ceasar’s
wounds,” and bid them speak, to ronsethis
mighty rabble “to rise and mutiny.” But
for tire good ol France, no second Antony
appeared, since Rochefort, the vile Repub
lican leader, was too cowardly to direct the
storm his own acts had called into exist
ence, and when tbe bright helmets and
glittering sabres of the National Guard
galloped to the scene of action, “ the rats
? uir.kly found their holes.” For days,
aris trembled on the brink of revolution,
until the Government, coming to its senses,
arrested Rochefort for inciting the popu
lace to arms and condemned him to six
months imprisonment, with a fine of 3.000
Irenes—a penalty hardly commensurate
with his crime. -

The market for invitations here is excel
lent. Great as Is tho supply, the -demand
is greater. Parties arriving here on the
afternoon train from New York frequently
apply for invitations to receptions to take
place tbe same evening. A young married
couple lately sent their cards to a certain
lady, who did not immediately respond by
an invitation to her next reception. Quite
late on the day of the reception they sent
their cards again, together with an invita
tion to their wedding, which bad come.off
a week before. Still receivi ng no response,
they, with admirable presence of mind, at

both of whom were attired in tight pai

pensed with. All the arrangements having
been completed, the combatants announced
their readiness to proceed.
A DEAD SILENCE
ensued, while an ashy paleness seemed to
bn the prevalent complexion of every man
in tiie room. The word was glvsnand the
duelists crossed swords, and having taken
three paces backward, the fight com
menced. At first- aslight timidity was ap
parent on both sides—not so much timid
ity, perhaps, as the nervous expectation in
cident to tho opening ol tho encounter.
Finally, after some little hesitation, De
Porto advanced, Proude, meanwhile, on the
alert to receive him. The scene was excit
ing. AH at or.ee, the few spectators were
startled by a sudden cut made by Proude,
at the bead of Ills opponent, who, however,
deftly parried, and retired a pace or two.
Up to the present, both had observed a
comparatively serene demeanor, but it was
evident that the duel could not be a pro
longed one, each being bent on deadly
strile. Having again crossed, great skill
was displayed by both, their eyes flashing
with fire, and endeavoring, as it were, to
penetrate each other’s intent.
ADMIRABLE SWORDSMANSHIP
was displayed, the cuts being rapid, well
directed and parried with precision. Up
to the present, which was about five min
utes Irom tliecommencemcnt, De Porto had
escaped with a slight scratch od the chest,
Proude beiug unharmed, when suddenly
De I’orto offering a tempting chance,
Proude advanced on him and inflicted a di
agonal cut upon tho right thigh. It was a
fatal move lor Proude, for nosooner bad lie
leaned forward to make the cut, than, with
lightning-like rapidity, De Porto following
up the controfitio, gashed his opponent on
tbe right shoulder, causing a wound some
five inches in length, and about one and a
halt inches in depth. His sword-arm was
disabled.
THE DUEL OVEB.
Proude dropped'his blade, exclaiming,
“Enough for to-day; you will glvo me my
reveuge another time; ” to which De Porto
replied:
“ I am al ways at your disposition.''
Subsequently the parties shook hands and
tbe wounds were examined. That inflicted
on De Porto, though some eight inches in
length, was scarcely a quarter of an Inch
depth, while Proude’s was of a serious char-
ecti-r, the blood streaming from it Id pro
fusion. He was immediately conveyed to
his residence in Brooklyn, where proper
assistance was procured.

Dissipation and Late Houf.s.—After
the testa! night comes the miserable next
morning, with its headache, its qualms, its
gloomy reflections. Business must beat-
tended to; but neither mind nor body is fit
for business. What is to be done? How
are the energies of the system to be worked
up, and its reserves of vitality brought
out? How is tbe clouded brain to be
cleared?—tbe languid and relaxed- frame
braced up for action ? Under snch circum
stances, a single wine-glassful of Planta
tion Bitters will bring about an immedi
ate and beneficial change, and a healthful
glow will be diffused through tho whole
organization by the tonic operation of this
wholesome cordial.

Importation of Spices —The choicer bc-
loctionsof ihc produce of ihoHpIce Islands^have,
until recently, been a rarity in our market, hav
ing only found aalo in Europe whero they have
commanded a price much higher than the ordi
nary spices of commerces. Observing this great
want, and believing that a market-could be stub"
lished athomo, the old and enterprising house or
C. J. Fell X Bro, of Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Chicago, commence t the importation of these
finer grades, and have already established a per
manent and growing trade. Tho every day rou
tine of culinary demands being for ths ground ar-
tlel- t: c !*rgtsr proportion of their imports are in

In Georgia before, drew from tho pnblio treasury

All the m^mbprg of the Legislature (save Dun

like robbery) drew pay for the whole thirty nine

and the law hat been only to draw 75 per cent, of
’heir per diem allowance. Is not this a grab

Washington's Birth-Day.—To-day is
set down in the calendar as the 221 of February,
and dl&tingniahcd as tbe birth day of an illuttrl-
ons rebel, George Washington, of Virginia. He
was good enough for his day and generation, but
wonld be nowhere in these times. In conformity
to an obsolete custom, yo loc«d '* hxs concluded
to celebrate tho day at home, because, to-day, ten
years ago he signified hia adhes on to the Union
etnsc, and entered into the united sttte, in this
city.
“a\8 Good as Milkage Yesterday a
member of the Smith family, supposed eo be a.
brother of Joha Smith and a «oa or the old man.,
A. Smith, colored member ef the Legislature from
the county of Muscogee, went an X on a ticket in
the lottery, bearing tho mystic figures A. 4S. and
45, and it drew 61,230. He walked up to the Cap
tain’s offlee, Mr. C. T. Harden’s, in Dann’s cigar
store, corner of Peachtree and Decatur street*,
and drew tho money. This streak of goM lack
was equal to mileage and A. Sir. itb was delighted.
' Deatit of Mrs. Robert H. Barton.—W#
regret to announce the death of Mr*. Robert H*
Barton of this city, who expired on Sunday last
alter a lingering illness of over twenty woek«*
Her case was one of marked and poculiar interest*
By the overturning of a safe her neck was par
tially, if not wtolly, dislocated Paralysis ensued.
Dr. Jo*a M. Jobnsen, with his acknowledged
skill and unanrpass^d medical knowledge, endeav
ored in vain to restore her. It was just snch a
cate as baffled skill and seemed to he in open defi
ance to established medical facta She lingered
and gradually sunk fr m exhaustion.
A Change Working Badly.—Wo learn
from a gentleman at West Toint, that postal route
agents on the Atlanta and West Point Railroad
now lie over in Montgomery instead of Atlanta,
as heretofore. Whenever they ml-s a connection
at West Point coming this way. there is no route
agent next trip from Atlanta, and hrnce cur sub
scribers along tho line of the road fnil to get their
papers This was the ease oa last Saturday, and
again on y«'»tcrda*. Bnt for the thoughtfalnete
or tbe po&tmaiter at West Point, our subscribers
there wonld > o withoat the paper to-day. * We
call the attention of <hat!!ve special post offlee
agent, Mr. Woodward, to this state oi facts, and
aak If it can not be remedied.
