V TUB CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GEORGIA, FEBRUARY 22 CS~ Samuel Tjler, of Maryland, is wri ting a biography of Chief Jnstico Taney. He was appointed by the Justice to the talk. C3F" The London Dally News says that statistics show the superiority of American over both French and English surgery; while English is superior to French sur- *ery. GiteCs the List.—Blodgett, in his let 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? I Columbia Hun. We gave the list several days ago, with the exception of one gentleman, a Mr. Ben nett, who, we are Informed, states that he voted forCapt. Blodgett for Senator, be cause the Captain assisted blm in getting his disabilities removed. We are informed that Mr. Welchell alleges the same reason for his vote. with to cultivate a general farm crop; such as can be reared in Southern Georgia, fet tle along the railroads in the northern parts of the State. If yon want tropical trulta as a specialty, settle on Indian river. If. fruits, vegetables, and convenience to market is desired, get on or near the St. John. If sugar-cane, long staple cotton, society, schools, etc. are wanted, go to Marion county. If cattle raising is the oc- eupatien sought, get sbmewhere between deeds of crimes made night fearful. Be hold these disappear, as it by the magic wand of some enchanter—giving place to wide, cleanly Boulevards, immense parks filled with sparkling fountains, shade trees and flowers, splendid dwelling houses, magnificent palaces, tbe beauty of.wbich no city has ever eaualled. Ascend the Arc de Triompbe, and look below. At yonr feet you have a city far more beautiful than that at which Boabdil. the last of the Moor- Lake Monroe and Indian river, or near isb Kings, beheld from the Sierra Nevada, Crops of Last Year.

The cotton planter, under the circum stances, can not do better than raise plenty provisions and less cotton. Phonography in Courts. | (Amid other improvements of this pro gressive age. the employment of phono graphic reporters In the courts, is one ol great advantage. The New York law an thnrlzea it, also the Illinois, Ohio and Maine laws. It wonld do well here. The advantages are patent. Absolnto ac curacy. saving the disputes that,sometimes ar'u-e over testimony, complete records, economy of time, saving the tedious de lays in taking down evidence. In taking up cases, it would be Invaluable. In pre paring caset for application for pardoo, it would give Executives tho undoubted re cords. 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 water.

Tbe amount thus drawn by tho Assem bly. lor twelve days that it was not in ses- sion, and lor which, under no law, is it en titled to compensation, amounts to over *20.000. The action of Mr. Scott-in declining, the *103. hit share, is highly creditable to him, 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 ouen “ratifications” are required to make Atlanta, Oa., Feb. 21,1870. 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.

Granted, said an Intelli 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.

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: ITKirPINO I'OK THE Fit AT. Ding, dong—it was two o’clock. In the spacious back parlor of the house in ques tion the parties assembled ere the echo of the- chimes had died ont. Both combat 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 thin walking coat by each of the duelists. nta- dis- OUK PABIS LETTER. A Yankee Church—French Relig ion—Tlio St. Genevieve Festival— The Bonaparte Homicide—The Napoleonic Dynasty—The Paris of To-day—American Belles Take the Palm at tho Tuiilerles—The Constitution in Paris. 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 French are not succeeding so well with their attempt at Parliamentary gov ernment, each day their Irascible disposi tions lead them into acts far from Parlia- Social Stcophanct.—The following paragraph does not by any means give one a favorable opinion of Washington society: The market for invitations here is excel lent.

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 tended without one. Death of One of the Harper Brothers. Mr. Joseph-Wesley Harper, one of tho Hero of Harper Brothers, publishers, of ?£pw York, died at his residence, in that city,' on Monday morning.

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.
