Mr. Stephens bin the Add as the cham pion of Grant’s financial administration. We accept the issue. We refer him, to begin with, to the conduct of Secretary Robeson about the Seeor Claim, published in ycater lay’s OoxiTrnmos. And we point him to another article in to-day’s Consuluhom. We propose to give the evidence of tbe -’corruption*” and “defalcations” of official* under Grant’* administration, that have •hocked the country, and disgraced his rale. We could All a column with the charges and evidences. A law was passed to fund $1,200,000,000 of the debt. Boutwctt could only fund $200,- 300000. Tbe law allowed him one-half per oral, for all expenses to place the loan. Bout well paid $3#tt£)0, or $2,000,000 more than the law allowed. The Administration pays no regard to law. Dootwell sent $27.1,000 to North Carolina to spend on the election. The fact was dis closed. An attempt waa made to account for it as the expenses of the Federal Court It was shown that such expenses could not ran over $1,000, and the details were called for. Tbe Administration could not answer. The Administration steals the people’s money to carry elections. Our neighbor claims that Grant, in three years, has paid $£10,000,000 of the public debt Mr. David A Weils estimates it st $200,010,.128. Andrew Johnson’s Adminis tration paid $510,050,MO in three yeare, or 33 per cent more than Grunt. But the Treasury records show thst the Grant claim of a reduction of debt is a fraud. The Finance report of iioutwcll for 1870, page 270, »hows that the debt was $2,489,- U02.480 58 on July 1, 1869. The report for 1872 shows that the debt July 1,1872, was $2,294^957,142 C5. This, according to the official showing, only makes tlw reduction $104,015,71152, instead of $320,000,000, as our neighbor and Grant’s folks claim. Bui again. Buutwell claims more than our neighbor. Ila claims to have reduced the deist $354,213,152 11. Well, the debt July 1,1800, be reported at $2,489,002 58. reduction of $330213,152 11 would show the debt now to lie $2,138,789,329 47. But in stead of this Iioutwcll reports the debt July 1,1872, as $2,504,957,143 05, or ($155,000,000) one hundrcil and fifty-tit millions oj dollars knocked oir from his boasted reduction, which dribbles down to under two hundred millions by hb own figures.

At the late meeting of the Association, on motion of Colonel Christy, a committee war appointed to draft suitable resolutions on the matter of various Press interests.

Mr. Stephens lias broken from the ranks of Uie Democracy, and 1* fighting the formal tit lion of iu regularly constituted atulinritit-s with the certain icMtlt of electing Grant and securing the popular indorsement of Radical ism and Southern oppression. Ho la fighting against the army of the Constitution, and r-gainsl the Democratic programme to defeat centralism and restore constitutional govern ment to tho country. lie b acting with a a minority that was unable to prevent the Democracy adopting the policy he and they oppooad, and bo now not only refuses to go with the party, but leeks to defeat it and its cause by a course that will give victory to our Ho b aiding Grant in the most effectnnl way thst he could, much more effectively than if he was to declare for him.

And when that result b the defeat of hb friend* and the friend* of constitutional government on ihejr ctmscw smt unallarsblo programme to carry out their views, he stands knowingly liusUlc to them and their great cause, and knowingly friendly to and abetting the ene my and hb cause. Thb b the plain logic of hb position Stated by us, respectfully, yet plainly. Now, hb whole article b a long and irrele vant quibble. We beg hb pardon for trench ing on Us ground. Wo have given to him a monopoly in the nao of words of personal disparagement. Wo have the "face” to use the word “quibble,” simply because it ex presses the idea exactly. He does not deny hb bolting, but seeks to break its force by a labored cUbrt to make a •art of an antagonism between our action and some part of the Greeley pbtfonn. our fancied error* were a Justification of his real ones. There are part* of tho Cindnnatti platform that were not palatable to the Georgia Demo crats, but in the main it contained sound doo- trioe. The Georgia Democracy while sus taining the general action of tho party, par- sated that course, that In their opinion placed them right in principle, and kept their record consistent. And they did thb among other reasons to generously the views of the “Straights.” And now Mr. Stephens has the want of generosity to nae thb very thing against the party. The very matter that was done by hb friends Iu pleas* and satisfy him, and cnoeiUatc hb op position, securing harmony, b now unmag- nanimoosly argued against the party, to sophbtically put it in an inconsistent position and b qulbblingly used to Justify desertion of the party, opposition to lb nominee, and practical aid to the enemy. The Georgia Democracy did ignore the Baltimore platform, and made the identically substantial platform famished by Mr. Ste phen* to hb convention of Straights, and they thereby did all that can be practically dooe to preserve Democratic principle. They recorded their faith. They preserved their creed. They announced their cherished prin ciples, and they did it in full fealty to the party action, and in tmbon with the great party programme. They did it, too, recog nizing the solid anhetralum of constitutional doctrines imbedded in the Cincinnati plat form, which Ur. Stephens has to ignore to get ground far opposition to the party. Mr. Stephens must bo hard run when be tries to bolster up hb bold and unqualified at tempt to disorganize the party, and thwart its official action by our pretermission of partial antagonism to tho Cincinnati and Baltimore platforms, while wo approve their cosnubl features of constitutions] doctrine and stand to the nominee of the party. We apeak plainly uf the matter, as it dc- •ervea, in no spirit of disrespect, impugning no honest motives, bat stating effects. The r<tb b one of those important ones -»_cre plain dealing, always courteous ns to manner, b required. We have great respect for all “Straights” who are animated by a sincere desire to pre serve principle. We cordially enter into their purposes. At the same time are the great majority of the Democratic party -who are committed to the support of Gree ley by solemn action of the recognized au thorities of the Democracy to be equally honest In their desire and purpose to pre serve principle, to be equally faithful Demo crats, and at the same time fo have the only chances cf carrying out their plan. We shall reply to the other point of Ur. Stephens’abide in another number and tfren copy iu material portions.

Tho death of Father O’Reilly, of tho At lanta Catholic Church, is a heavy loss to the Atlanta ministry. He was a good man and an able minister.

In his death Atlanta has lost a true Cbfisffui 1nan, 43d the church a true and devoted minister. then our own crop has been cat short 85 per' moment. cent by rust and worms. These are the reasons why cotton should go np, or at least not go down. But to our bear friends we will say the crop will be the earliest on itconl, and the nviiptt will soon be so large that many will forget the injury to the crop, and only look at the large and ooasuuitly increasing receipts. We see no reason why there should not be one weeks receipts of 150,000 bales within the next three months, the prices are so high there will be a natural desire to get the benefitof them, and the pressure of such, one to sell first, will sup ply the demand, and the price will go down. It b almost impossible to hold cotton up in the fall; all consumers naturally believing that as soon as there is plenty in market the price will be lower, will bold off, and only bring enough to supply their;immediate wants. We estimate that the receipts for three months, say to November 89th instant, will be 30 per cent, of the crop, 900,000 bales; oar own spinners took from the ports, in the past four years, for just three months of tho cotten year, as follow*: 1C6,000,159,000,197,- OX), 190,000; if we estimate tbb year at 200,- 000 for the same time we will have 700,000 bales for stock and export The total export for same timf, for tho past throe years was 878,000, 459,000 and 335,000; estimate this year at 350.000 for same time, and we will have 350,000 bales for stock December 1st, which b rather larger than any year since the war. If these esti mates comes true, will the/ not bare a depressing effect on prices for tbe times. To show how tci/ fast the crop is being saved •head/, one correspondent writes ua that he planted for ten bales, and a moaih ago the prospect was good; for that amount now, fire bales would be all he would make, and his hands picked one bale that da/. We would caution our Southern friends against bo/ing contracts for the earl/ winter months, as we see no hopes for an advance, and the price may be lower. To thoeewhoareptyingSl cents for low middling for February and March, it seems to ns as though they thought there would not be any more to buy after a few woks. The price may be at that, or even higher, when the time comes; but it is a long time to wait Many things may hap- Oemocrats, How d. Von I.lke is! Wc have recently scon a “strictly confiden tial" letter from the Radical head quarters to a "good brother of the cause” asking the names of ail Democrats who oppose Greeley. “Hire a reliable man to canvass for their names, the money will bo refunded to you,' it says. Bure enough wc learn that a num ber of our friends who were for a while op posed to Gredcy are getting Grant documents sent them—such as tend to embitter them against- Greeley. How do yon like Democrats to be fed on soit com front tbe vilest enemy you haTO ? How do you like to pay Uie expenses of theso canvassers athong you who so kindly furnish your names to headquarters as a “good Democrat’’—one who wouldn’t support the ticket that is likely to overthrow Grant’s administration. The money comes out of tho United States Treasury. We reiterate how do you like to be patted on the shoulder and told by a Radical that you ore a “good Democrat”—one he respects.

In the first column of which, aud on the first page, 1 discovered a la'dj exposition of the true intent and purpoawof tin distinguished writer. The Imperialist says: “We believe but a nail percentage of the American people can be considered fit, by character or education, for the unrestricted exercise of sdf-gotern- ment” O’Conor says*- “Absolute equality has proven exceedingly mischievous by Its erroneous multiplication of offices. AJone. it affords no permanently effectual restraint upon power. To the inquiry, how snch a restraint can be imposed in our country, poli ticians have responded: “by the virtu re and intelligence of the peoplehut this is a do- tusice speech. In a great and prosperous country, such popular guardianship cannot be had, and the only efficient protection against offlrial misrule is in totally prohibit ing those powers which cannot be effectually regulated by law. Paternal government is not necessarily mischievous in a monarchy; but in a republic, baaed upon universal suf frage, it cannot fail to foster innumerable evils. It b in fact the sutn of all villanies.” Wc are thus furnished with a clue to the chief author of the Imperialist.

Wc all want liberty—some want it only in their own way. but l'for one am willing to have it in any way we can get it. The man who asks relief should not dictate the mode for giving relief, but should receive it in whatever way it comes. I havo seen from the be ginning tbat the war bad put us under a new dispensation, and the only remedy b in a counter revolution. I appeal to all bistory to. show that no people in any age of the world ever regained tlieir lost liber ty by a party, it b contrary to the natural order of things for such to be. I have seen from tho beginning that our only remedy lies in bringing about a revolution in the minds of the Northern people; He then said some of our Straights want liberty, but they arc unwilling to have it on any but a Straight platform, for his put he was willing to havo it ou the Cincinnati ami Baltimore platform with Horace Greeley ns its candidate. England never regained her liberty until she received it at the hands of a foreigner, and lie a Dutchman. That this Dutch man and hb men came to Iter rescue, and if England could receive her liberty at the bands of a foreigner, surely we of the South ought to be wiiliug to receive our lili- ertv at the hands of Horace Greeley, who fa a Yankee. He (Ttippe), for his part, was willing to lie down, not only with Horace Greeley, but even with the devil himself, if tfaat would restore liberty to bis counntiy. He reiterated his former assertion, tlmt u jjjjgdc never regained their lost liberty at the a party, that it was impossible that the Democratic party could ever restore liberty to this country, he cared not how straight might lie their platform, help must come from a counter revolution, lie then referral to the French revolution and show ed that none but a Jacobin could have put dowu Jacobinism. That Robespierre, the most bloody tyrant that ever lived, never could haveliccn brought to the guilloliuc by any other than ono of hfa own party, lie said if we could have elected a man ou a straight-out platform as soon as the war had dosed that such a man would have been pow erless to restore liberty to the South, for they being of the conquered party and in the mi nority would have been afraid to dp anything for the relief of the South for fear of offend ing tlio North. That relief must come to us as it baa always done, by a counter revolu tion from the conquering section, and lie knew of no man belter suited for this than Horace Gtuky.

Conway is-writing some very gossipy and interesting letters front the French- watering places to the Cincinnati Commercial. The letter from which we make on extract fa written from Trouville, and tho distinguished American referred to fa the late John M. Daniel, Uieeditor and pro prietor of tho Richmond Examiner. The letter says; Yety different associations aro aroused by tbe sight of tbat brilliant Italian Counices, whom 1 have already mentioned as being at Trouville, bqt whom I will now call Madame IL Inheriting ONE OP THE MOST DISTTSGUIBED NAMES That the world has over known—lint a name which covers as little moral principle as any in recent history—she has for years glittered in every Court of- Europe. At fast she gained such notoriety that some of the Courts began to close doors against her. Il was rattier curious tbat ono of the fiirtto exclude Madame IL (then Madame B.) from its recep tions should be that whose moral odor fa tlio very worst in Europe—that of Italy. But so it was, that, some years ago, when a grand ball was to be given at the palace in Turin, tho beauty set in her villa expecting the in-, vitation, which del not arrive. Her most intimato friend there, according to Italian gossip, was a young American, who, after having achieved tbs reputation ot an intel lectual phenomenon, streaming through the Southern skies with a brilliantly-edited news paper for hfa comet-tail, had been made Charge D*Affaircs at Turin. Thb young minister was a man of genius and a scholar! bat he was very erotic. He had fought A DOZEN DUELS IN HIS NATIVE vmGINIA, And politically he was. a fire-eater. Yet I, who knew him well through many years, knew that he had a true and tender heart deep beneath the proud and formidable ex terior he chose to put forward in the eyes of tho world. She. who has since become Madame R. found ont the same, and man aged to become the object of as deep a passion as man ever felt for woman. Despite Ike se vere exclusion of tbe Italian Court, all the more because of it, the intrigante resolved that to that ball sbe would go, and she in voked tbe aid of bcr lover, ths American charge, to take her there. Take her be did. He asked an invitation for her; it was re fused. Nevertheless, when the ball was at its height, In walked the American with the ostracised beauty leaning on hb arm, and dressed in a way that might have excluded her even had her character been less the sub ject of gossip. In tbe great day when the sea gives np its dead tbe correspondence which thb event occasioned betwe eo the vir- tnons John B. Floyd and the charge at Turin, and between the Turinese and Washington governments, may see the light. The row was tremendous, though it was earned on in diplomatic circles, and tbe public heard only s little of it A gentleman who saw the lady —now Madame K.—on that occasion declared to me that sbe was the most beautiful being he ever beheld, and Uiied hb idea of a Roman goddess. I remembered the remark when I saw her at the last carnal "in Rome, dashing along the Corso b a fine equipage, gaily dressed, and throwing bon-bons and flowers to the crowd. Tbe masses did homage to her beauty. Her husband, one of the emi nent Italian statesmen, stood, I remember, with ns in the crowd, and as he smoked hb sugar looked with a half comical, half-cynical expression upon the sensation hb brilliant was causing.
