tnu MERCEDES.
On Monday last Princess de las Mer
cedes, Queen of Spain, waa eighteen
yean of age. On Wednesday she waa
died. In her the hopes cl the house
Bourbon wen centred, and much ol
the hope of the new Spain that nad
struggled through the confusion inci
dent to the flight of Isabella, the im
practicable republicanism oi Caateliar,
the weak, reign of Amadeus, and the
revolution of the Carlisle.
Only a few months ago the youne
was led to the alter by King
Alionso amid general rtjuidngs. Her
wedding festival extended all over
Madrid, and was joined in by all classes
from the homblest to the highest
She was the daughter of Prince Antoine
d'Orleans, Luc de Montpensier, and
Louisa, A sister oi Queen Isabella. The
young queen was universally beloved.
Her many virtues and the nobility ol
her personal character seemed to
have aroused all the latent
devotion and patriotism of all classes
and all parties, but she ia dead, and it
ia impossible to predict the changes that
will follow.
Queen Mercedes had been ill for
several days with gastric fever, and in

plausibility, that the subsequent action
of the house relative to making the in
vestigation general is a vindication oi
hia attempt to fasten the Hale reeolu-
lion on the Potter resolution; bnt is
Mr. Stephens quite sure that his course
in the matter caused the subsequent
action of tbe democrats ? In oar opin
ion, the democrats would have acted
as they did, even ii Mr. Stephens bad
voted with the party in the first
instance. There waa no objection on
the part of democrats to making the
investigation as general as possible, bm
there was decided objection to tacking
inch a resolution upon the measure

Tbe new proposition of the creditor*
of Savannah ia moat heartily endorsed
by General Toombs, who has written a
letter to General A. B Lawton on the
subject. The teat urea of this proposi
tion are that the city shall pay the en
tire principal of her debt, provide lib
erally and promptly for her suspended
interest, pay a fair rate of interest for
the foinre, and that she give new, addi
tional and substantial guarantees for the
faithful execution of the proposed
terms of adjustment. Gsneral Toombs
•ays that these new securities will
make the new bonds moch more valua
ble than the old ones, and they are
therefore substantial compensation for
moch of the apparent loss to the credi
tore of Savannah. Concluding bis

MR. BILL'S VIEWS
Wo present this morning quite an
Interesting talk with Renator Hill,
which our reporter caught, between
the peaches and the peelings, on yes
terday.
Mr. Hill makes some interesting dis
closures concerning tbo most interest
ing period of Georgia’s history. Mr.
Hill waa a foremost figure in those
times, and no one is so well calculated
as he to speak of the stirring centr
es that look place then. His points
are strong ones, and are well pat It
is desirable, however, since so many
men are claiming to have saved tl
state, that we should have tbe detailed
history oi the re-oiganiiation oi the
Georgia democracy given to the world,
There is no period of the state's history
as full of thrilling interest and Mr.
Util ahonld give ns all the etory of that
eventful time. Will he not favor ns
with a letter on the subject ?
The latter section of Mr. Hill’s inter
view is quite as interesting as the first
It shows up the hollowness of Mr
Hayes’* promisee o! reform in the civil
service. With an emphasis that aavora
smartly of personal disgust Mr. Hill
•hows that Mr. Hayes, even while his
original purposes may have been good,
has fallen wofully short in the per
formance of hia task. Aa Mr. Hill truth
fully says, he has rejected wise counsel
and made Kellogg & Co. the shining
lights ol bis administration.
The Dawson Journal, alluding to
efforts to oigrniae greenback clnbe in
that section, saya it ia “inclined to look
with suspicion upon.everything oi the
kind at this jnneinre.” The Journal ia
right It ia no time now lor the people
to have their attention called from the
real issues to be settled at tbe ballot-
box in 18S0. The green
back issue is not per-
tinentai to the times, further than that
it ia impossible ior the greenbackera to
encceed save through tbe success ol
tbe democratic party. Vast improve
ments have been made in onr financial
system by tbe democratic majority in
-ess, and the organization of
greenback party in the south at this
time is to be deplored, not only because
it ia calculated to distract attention
from the struggle which is to take place
between the democracy and the cor
rupt organization which is even
now endeavoring to cover np
the electoral lrauds concocted
and carried out by such men as tbe
Chandlers and John Rherman, bnt be
cause it ia wholly unnecessary,
greenback party can accomplish noth
iug; the democratic party, if the signB
ol tbe times do nut deceive aa, will
take charge of affiaira at the next gen
eral election|*nd accomplish everything
in the way of revising our financial
legislation that the most ardent green
backer could desire. Tuere is no pressing
financial ieeue before tbe people. There
ii no financial legislation necessary
that the democratic party ia not pledged
to secure. Greenbackera, howAVer eo-A -jith totra-
thusiastic they may be, can wti! flffjrd^r room »*»
to wait lor the full iruilion o! democ
racy. We want no aide iasnee. If the
democrats tail, there can be no hope
for the greenback men.

The recent elections in Oregon and
California hbow that the condition ol
parlies is as healthful in the one as it is
unhealthfnl in the other. In Oregon an
unprecedentedly large vote was polled.
Kvery man did his doty, and the dem

California has just elected delegates
to a constitutional convention. The
state is at heart democratic, bnt owing
to the prejudices against the Chinese,
the Keameyites or Workingmen actual-
ly succeeded in electing about 100 of the
152 delegates to the convention, fhey
elected all the 30 delegates from San
Francisco, 0 from Nevada county and
the 32 delegates from the state at large*
They will certainly have the making of
the new constitution, and the chief
provisions in it will practically read,
“The Chinese most go.” It ia feared
that such provisions will ensure the
adoption of any constitution that the
convention may adopt. This is a de
plorable state of affairs. The two old
parties are powerless, and the struggle
for control it is thought will
bp between the workingmen
and the allied opposition. Continued
success would doubtless usher in-ex
cess, while defeat might result in riots
and bloodshed. Conservatism and
common sense have temporarily at
least lost their grip in the state. It is
to be hoped that time, the great heal'
er, will bring about a healthier tradi
tion of things before the two great
parties of the country lock horns in
1880.

They were fl-led with uneasiness and alarm.
At tots j one tore I determined, rsgsrdlem of

MT “NOTES ON THE t ITU ATI ON.”
They were printed in toe Augusts Chronioie,
and were strongly hacked by its patriotic editor,
toe sate General Wright. These notes appeared
rly in 1867. There was then no vestige of sn op
position pkrty in the state. Indeed, there were
of prominence—who openly
expressed their opinions, except in the way of ac
quiescence. The writing of the “Notes” prom
ised to bring the personal trouble that had been
threatened; for the commanding general, in a
letter which was published, recommended my
bsniahmsht from the state.
The effect ol the “Notes** was wonderful. It
aroused a spirit of resistance and Indignation
among toe people that brought tnem to their
(set. They were ready to act, but they wanted
leader. Just as I hid concluded my fourteenth,
and Iasi one, I received a letter from a commit
tee in Atlanta, stating that the time had come
when the people should be addressed upon the
issues of reconstruction. Dr J G Westmoreland
was chairman of this committee and Colonel
Tcm Howard and B jb Alston were, I remember,
members of It They stated that thftr had writ
ten letters to all the pld leaders in Georgia ask
ing them to join in this movement against the
reconstruction sea.

The committee bad recaved a letter from Mr
Stephens which made a deep impression on me
Some ol its expressions I shall never forget. It
stated that the writer saw no hope lor the conn-

in articuio mortis; that nobody could
save It, and that whoever tried it would simply
get hinuelf into trouble and do the country
good. It was despondent to toe last degree, and
did not even express an opinion as to the recoi
struction measures. And It was accompanied
WITH A QUAKE INJUNCTION CF SECEEST.

that followed it, and In a few days, the papers,
led by Gen. Wright of the Chronicle, called
upon the people of Georgia to meet In Macon,

of organlx ng toe democratic party, and devis

I hrortLy approved this call, and was In Ms-

Mr. Stephens took no part in that campaign.
He could not be drawn into it.
In 1870, a convention of the party was
held. The brunt of the battle in G jorria was
over then. Ths party was splendidly organized.
It had already carried ths state in a hard fought
campaign, for Gordon was dieted over Bollock

Ths party -had been rallied—its organization
had been perfected, and it had a certain victo

when be aavs that It waa from this bit of writing
that the party got iu first organization. Tbe
party had been organized long ago “ *
organized without hia help, in spite or its dep
recation and against his advice. It had been
through several campaigns, and had carried the
atate twice. It carried the state by
majority in 1863. It was a great, strong
defiant party, when
his long retirement and offered it a platform—
which it aooepted. If his example had bjen
heeded—ii his advice had been followed—he
would hare found no party, nor the fraction of
a party, ready, in 1870, to take his plat ora. The
party was organized while he was ia his tent.
Ibey were reteraasAud were flushed with signal
victories-rlhey had already won the state iron
toe .’republicans and nothing remained bat

And here Mr- Hill went back .to his peaches—'

were “the first he had had this Besson”—aid
suggesting, by the way, by the rigor wuh which
he dispatched them, that he wjv tearful they
wooid be the last.
I:ls proper tossy that Mr Mill declined at first
to discuss these matters, fearing that he might

was not present at any of the sessions,

members of the board as to matters
under consideration; had no knowl

such as were published.
Their returns were tne only
means of information I had. Tne re*

I was inaugurated governor on January

The Hayes commission arrived early
in April. My majority, as shown by
the returning board, was somewhat less
than that of the highest Hayes elector,
and higher than the majority ior the
lowest elector. The witness said the
files of th* Republican would give all
the data required as to the promulga
tion of the returns. From the returns
made, the witness deemed himself
legally elected governor of Louisiana.
There was no question about that. In
my opinion my title to the governor-
ship of Louisiana
.is AS GvOD AS THE TITLE OF PRESIDENT
HAYES
to the presidency. I consider them
both good. Oae is as good as the other.
I received the declaration of my elec
tion from the legislature; Mr. Hayes
enjoys his title. I am awaro that 1 am
not acting as governor of this state, as
lam entitled to be. Mr. Hayes’s title
rests on the vote of Louisiana. I am
entitled to be governor.

at the request of Chairman Potter, re
pi vine to Sherman’s request to have
pubpoeused from Louisiana one hun
dred witnesies to testify touching the
freedom of the election, murder and
intimidation, etc. After calling atten
tion to the records oi congress
in relation to the testimony
there, the witnesses snd their contra
diction by witnesses as numerous,
Mr. Morrison says: “It is needless to
add that should these one hundred
witnesses again repeat their former
testimony, five hundred other wit
nesses at least as creditable as
they would be ready again to
contradict them.” He concludes by
baying that the accusation under which
the committee is acting, rests upon the
statement that to influence and
control Weber and Anderson in
their official acts, the secretary
made them promises and wrote a letter
to them, giving them assurances and
premises op reward;
that the committee understands that he
denies the allegations and the testi
mony of these witnesses is not material
to prove or disprove the acts alleged,
ana therefore declines to sub
poena the witnesses. Mr. Sher
man replies * and says: “The
resolution under which your commit
lee is acting accuses me cf inducing
oertain election officers of the state of
Louisiana to falsely and fraudulently
represent and protest the election of
November 7, 1876, in East Feliciana
and part of West Feliciana as not “free
and fair.” Mr. Sherman then gives the
names of ninety-two residents of Lou
isiana, and states that he proposes to
prove by these witnesses various acts of
WHIPPING, SHOOTING, HANGING, ETC ,
of republican voters by armed
democrats; that this intimidation
was carried to such, an
tent that the large republican
majorities which had appeared at every
election after the close of the war and
prior to the election of 1876, was there
oy suddenly converted into large dem
ocratic majorities, so that in eome of
the precincts and in one of the parish
es, to-wit: Eist Feliciana, not a single
republican vote was polled.

THE ARREST OF PARR,
A LONG DELATED REVENGE.
TtiffTrne Nlory of th© Captors of tbe
New York 8un.
Daring tbe past winter business has
been very light. Tbe movement still
lags behind the expectations of holders.
Few engagements are announced, and
the trade generally has been devoid o{
animation.
Bzchelora are operating in an ex
tremely cautious manner, and large
stocks pf marriageable young women
have been carried over from last
autumn. The number of yonng girls
between the ages of IS and 25 seems
to be unwarrantably large, and fathers
affl cted with marriageable daughters
c -nnot exercise too mr.cb caution in
making preparation for the summer
and fall trade.
All eyes now turn hopefully toward
Saratoga and Newport Itis,however,
feared by steady dowagers, long in
business/that really desirable ynnng
men, with incomes ranging from $15,-
000 to $30,000 per annnm will thia sea
son be scarcer than ever.
Oar rich yonng men, as a rule, have
pretty much given np fashionable wa
tering places. They may, aa birds of
passage, pass a few days at Newport,
Sharon, Saratoga, New London or L -ng
Branch; bnt the great majority go
abroad, go yachting on their own or
their friends’ yachts, pass the summer
in out of-the-way places along the
coasts or in the mountains, shoot,
drive, fish and “sit around” generally.
In eany fall they return to civ
ilized regions and coalmen*) a
series of visits at elegant country
seats. Watering place eng.gemenis
are now-a days few a->d far between.
Newport, m the fall, when cottage life
is especially enjoyable, is infinitely
more dangerous to the bachelor than
during the height of the season. Mrs.
Mann Hnnter, at this period of the
year, invariably has some three or four
lovely yonng women staying at her cot-
age, sod to meet them she invites an
equal number of eligible yonng men.
i nree weeks of constant walks, ta>ks,
drives and waltzes with tbe tame
yonng woman, to say nothing of
sailing excursions, picnics and Sunday
afternoons in the library, are quite
likely to do the business for any spiri
ted yonng fellow who has the slightest
snap or vim abont him. Mrs. Mann
Hnnter, one of the shrewdest operators
iu the matrimonial market, has success
fully “established” her daughters, but
still continues in tbp business through
pare love of matching. We understand
she will have on hand during the com
ing season of what the French call
haula nouveauta, culminating with the
choicest rosebuds in October.
In other days and happier times onr
fathers and mothers fell in love and
married without inquiring too cloeely
into fortunes, rent roles and the rest
of it. They jumped into matrimony
as one takes a header in the rolling
snrL In nine cases out of ten it had
tbe same invigorating effect, bracing
them np as they went hand in hand
through the trials and troubles of a
wicked world. Now, among those
claiming the monopoly ot the
greatest portion of the “refinement
and culture,” which are supposed to be
floating around loose through the conn-
try, marriage has become to be looked
upon as a regular business transaction,
a matter of money rather than love.
Cupid may assist at the nuptials, bnt
money ia essential.
A young fellow nowadays with $5,000
a year thinks he cannot afford to marry
unless he marries “money.” He has
no idea of making sacrifices for love.
No, sir 1 He baB $5,000 a > ear, and he
spends it conacienUuut.lv and religiously
on bimself. We believe modern club
life tends greatly to lessen marriage.
By j lining any of onr leading clubs,
men with modest revenues can enjoy
daily all the comforts, luxuries and _d-

Henry A. Parr, who has been arrest
ed in Boston on the charge of having
murdered the engineer of the steamer
Chesapeake in 1863, lived in Nashville
for several years before the war, and is
a brother of Mr. John F. Parr, who is
a grain merchant on South Market
street.
The Chicago Tribane publishes an
interview with Capt. John C. Braine,
an ex-commander of the confederate
navy, and who organised and carried
out the plan for the Beizore of the
Chesapeake. Braine Bays tbe seizure of
the Chesspe -ke was ordered by the
confederate government as a retaliatory
measure for the murder of three men
on board the confederate steamer Plan
ter, in Charleston harbor, in 1862, and
the snbeeqnenl del- very of that steamer
'o the federal - blockading squadron.
Thia act, he says, was perpetrated by
negro named Robert Smalls,
pilot, and. wbo has since
been a member of congress from South
Carolina. Braine was ordered by the
Confederate navy department to pro
ceed to New York and captnre any
vessel he saw fit. He went to Halifax,
enlisted men, ard io October, 1863, be
went to New York, inspected tbe ship,
ping, and finally selected the Chesa
peake aa a craft which best suited bis
purpose. Taking passage in her to
Portland, to see that sbe behaved well
at sea, he proceeded from that port to
St. John, mastered hie men, and De
cember 2 went to Boston. In the latter
city he represented that he had a body
of men for the fourteenth infantry,
stationed at New York, got through to
New York, and placed hia men on hoard
tbe Cneaapeake December 5 On the
morning of the 7th, being at sea, tbe
vessel was seized in the name of
the Confederate government. He says
he gave bia strict injunction that
no violence should be oone, bnt the
second engineer of the Chesapeake,
Orrin Shepherd, attempted to ehoot one
of his men, and was in tarn shot down
dead. Two officers ai.d several men were
also wonnded. It is for the murder of
Shepherd that Parr has now been ar
rested. Braine Bays he cannot under
stand how Parr can be held on the
chaige of piracy, as he was regularly
mastered in as a confederate officer,
and that the shooting was done by oDe
of his party in self defense. Further
more, the Chesapeake when subse
quently captured by federal cruisers,
and the case being tried in admiralty,
waa adjudged a legitimate naval prize
the federal government.
Braine ia now a resident of Chicago,
and domg business th.re.
:ree of all the petty cares
and annoyances inseparable from keep
ing house. Strangely enough, tbe class
of men whose conditions ot fortune op
pose no obstacle to marriage seem more
wedded to club life man those who are
obliged to study economy. No wonder,
then, that the matrimonial market ia
dull. Looking around, we find in so-
called fashionable circles an alarming
increase in the number of mature
bachelors and elderly maidens Oae
is almost prompted to ask, what shall
we do in the future for culture and re
finement if these people do not marry?

Among the most practical men in
north Georgia is Gen. W. T. Wofford,
of Cass station. He ia known over the
whole state for his progressive, practi
cal ideas, and he has acquired a com
petence as proof of hie correct views.
A Times representative having taken
advantage of an opportunity to confer
with him concerning the proeperity of
his section, was gratified to find him
bo enthusiastic in behalf of the near
future for the section of country em
braced between this city and Atlanta.
Gen. W< fiord, after expatiating some-,
what upon the delights and healthfnl-
ness ol the climate and the vainJble
mineral in the region referred to, and
bf the fertility of the soil, remarked
that soon after the completion of the
Cincinnati Southern road, there will
be, as it were, one continnons vil
lage between Chattanooga and Atlanta.
Both Chattanooga and Atlanta will
grow rapidly, and when the ad
vantages oi the section between
them are truly known, thousands will
emigrate to and settle along this line of
road. In illnstration of the excellence
of the advantages. General Wofford re
ferred to Mr. Arthur Davis, who refn-
geed from Cocke county, East Tennes
see, daring the late war, and became a
renter in Bartow connty. He soon
made a sufficiency to purchase a small
home. He has added to his possessions
until now, at ruling figures, he owns
$30,000 worth of land. Just lest year
he bought a piece ot land for $800 upon
which he raised twenty-fonr bales of
cotton.
It is now the case that a pound of
cotton will bny two pounds of meat,
which ia doable what planters have
coanted as a sjfficiAcy upon which to
make fortunes.
This advantage is an important one
in the connection. It is a fact, though
not generally known, that north Geor
g's cotton ia worth more in market than
that raised farther eonth. It commands
a better price.
KkUGlUTION WANTED.
“What is wanted and the only thing
necessary now,” remarked the general,
“ia emigration." Hi referred to tue
excellent work of Colonel Killebrew,
for Tennessee is getting low rates for
emigrants, and remar red that low rates
were given to get people away from
Georgia, bnt not to brirg them to the
state. He farther referred to the loea
of men by the late war aa a worse ca-
lamity' than that of our property. Oar
noblest young men went earliest into
the fight, and the larger part of the beat
fell in battle. •
Now, we most seek others to buijd
np the places left desolate because of
that sad, terrible struggle.
When Gen. Wofford's fancies are re
alized-and he proves his faith in hav
ing added three thousand acres last
year to his possessions near Cass sta
tion—we shall have a market teeming,
every morning, with the freshest and
most excellent vegetables, and our
