J Slightly Different Views. Ini iis eloquent oration in reply to Gen. Hayne, of South Carolina, Daniel | Webster said: “I shall enter upon no encomiums upon tho State of Massachu setts. There she stands. Look at her! There is Boston, there is Concord, and there is Banker Hill, and there they will stand forever.” In one of his late speeches, Wendell Phillips, of Boston, who claims to be a humanitarian Philos opher and moralist of the true Massachu setts school, said: “Boston is a city in which every tenth person is a criminal and every seventh a pauper. Three- quarters of onr farms aro mortgaged for drink; two-thirds of tne pulpits are filled with drunkards, and the bench of jus tice is nearly vacant because one-half of the justices have died drunkards.” LOCAL NOTES. Arrival of Gov. Smith—Enthusias tic Reception of our New Governor by the City Council and Citizens of At lanta.—Last evening, a special train furnished by tho Atlanta and West Point Railroad, left the city at 2* o’clock, hav ing on board the Mayor and Council, the members of the Legislature who are in the city, and a number of citizens in vited by Mayor James, who went down as far as Fairburn, to meet and welcome onr new Governor, and escort him to the city. When tho np train arrived, Col. Smith was welcomed by the enthusiastic crowd. An eloquent speech of welcome was de livered by Col. N. J. Hammond, who bade him welcome, as our Chief Execu tive, by a people who had long groaned under the rale of plunderers and thieves; who had been robbed of their substance and their liberty by carpet-bag cormo rants; welcome as an honest man, who would faithfully and impartially dis charge the duties of Governor, and clean out the Augean stable of official corrup tion; welcome to Atlanta by her people, who had voted right all the time; for, while all the other cities of the State had voted for Bullock and for the Constitu tiou, which removed the Capitol to onr city, Atlanta alone had voted against Bullock, and lmd all the while stood out against the villainy of the plunderers.— Atlanta is proud of her record in the very midst of so much corruption, and proud of him who had been selected for our Chief Magistrate; and the whole State was proud of him as a man whose integrity was above suspicion. Sucli was the tenor of Col. Ham mond’s eloquent address. Col. Smith replied briefly, returning thanks for the honor of so flattering a reoeptiup, .-aying that he intended to mala-mi. le-iio;. effort to discharge his duty nuo j i.t an end to tho plunderings Humors of War with Spain. For the last few days croakers and ma niac loyalists in Washington have been engaged 'in circulating sensational ru mors of a pending war with Spain. The reported recall of Senor Roberts, Span' ish Minister at Washington, and the re cent outrages on the Florida, by a Span' ish man-of-war, on the high seas, about all of which there has been no official information, have been construed, by the most patriotic Cabinet (?), as hostile to the Government. In anticipation of a most chimerical emergency—a war with Spain—the Navy Department is energeti cally engaged in making preparations to meet and resent any offense or indignity disparaging to the dignity of this coun try and its immaculate rulers. In the meantime we shall bo as tranquil as an Egyptian mummy. Bismarck Suspicious.

He spoke kind ly .. the friendships formed nmojL * people of Atlnuta during the *u of the Legislature, and con- ii the people of the State that the Gay had come when they could select m-ii o their own choosing to execute their laws, and carry on the Government; and not have imposed upon them, against their will, men whose only aim is to de fraud the people. He alluded to the expectations of the public at his bauds, and pledged his hon est efforts that daring his short adminis tration the public should not be disap pointed. Both speakers were warmly applauded. The audience then re-embarked, and returned to the city. Gov. Smith was escorted to appropriate rooms in the Kimball House, which had* previously been prepared for him by friends. All passed off pleasantly and hopefully. The recent policy of M. Thiers, in his administration of the French Govern ment, has created some distrust in the mind of his foreign master, Bismarck. Outrages committed by citizens on Ger man garrisons, in several interior towns of France, have called out a declaration of martial law from the semi-protectorate and foreign guardian of the infant Re public. Moreover, Bismarck has forwarded to all his foreign ministers copies of his cir cular on the French outrages and the war indemnity. Evidently, M. Thiers’ ad ministration is assuming an aspect dis tasteful to the illustrious diplomat. The latest advices intimate some moderation on the part of the Germans in their poli cy in suppressing assaults on German soldiers, and the questions arising from the assassination of Bavarian soldiers will be disposed of without resorting to extreme or violent measures. Not Dead. The passivists, says the Nashville Union and American, have not succeeded in con vincing the leading Radicals that the Democratic party is dead. Tho Spring- field (Mass.) Republican, a Radical organ, says: “ A great deal has been said about the dead Democ racy. Those who think it dead surely never read the story of the res urrection. There will be signs in the heavens and on the earth in 1872, when the Democratic party gets its soldiers in the field. ” The New York Evening Post (Radical) says: “ He is a fool, or a traitor, who expects to win an easy victory over the Dem ocratic party in 1872. Grant can never do it with the bayonet.” Horace Greeley said on a recent occa sion: “ The Democratic party to-day stronger than it ever was in its history, It means now to win, and I do not say that it cannot win.”_ From tlie LaGrango (Ga.)

An Omaha dispatch, as published by a Western exchange, says “the river is stationery.” It may be inferred from that that it is a sheet, either of ice or water. Alexis gave the Chicago poor §5,000. If that boy don’t get “strapped' before he gets away from this country he will be “strapped” by the old man when he gets home. £@*The Boston Post says: “Dr. Jenner, if he were alive, would be astonished to hear one thousand cases of small-pox re ported in Philadelphia in a single month Perhaps he would refund the §150,000 the English Government paid him for discovering the benefit of vaccination, But Dr. Jenner never admitted that virus manufactured by enterprising Yau kees would be as good as genuine; besides the people of this country have, of late, years, gotten so in the habit ot taking things that they could not resist even the small-pox.

Mr. Foster and his good lady have the tact of making friends wherever they go, and the travelling public may expect a good eating House and comfort able lodging under their management. Camak is now becoming an important point in Railroad connections. The official returns of the October election have, at last, been announced, as follows: Democratic, 62,525; Republi can, 43,771; Democratic majority, 18,- 751—a gain of 22,385 over the last Con gressional vote, which stood: Democratic, 3r,SS8; Republican, 34,519; Republican majority, 3,631. Then the delegation stood one Democrat and three Republi cans; now three Democrats and one Re publican, and that oue only in on a. con tested certificate. The New York World, in commenting on this result, says: “To estimate the worth of this triumph it mustbeboruein mind that the Republican Governor, Davis, had the State swarming with Iris cut-throat troops, jail-birds, Mexicans, negroes, white desperadoes, and other 3cum, armed, mounted, and paid at pub lic cost; had in addition a select brigade of detectives on duty; still in addition twenty special policemen in each county; and, lastly, actually forbade any voter to remain in town after casting his bal lot, and declared the usual election hur rahing cause for invalidating the returns from that vicinage. But violence failed with this Texas man, as it failed with Drake in Missouri and Brownlow in Ten nessee, and will fail yet with their White House imitator,” And this Texas fight was made on a square issne of Democratic principles, and shows how the Democratic party may succeed eventually by a strict ad' herence to the landmarks, of Constitu tional government It is upon such principles alone that the Democracy of the country can ultimately succeed and save the country. “A riot against negroes is, of all oth ers, the most easily incited. A colored wretch, accused of having committed a horrible crime in Rochester, has become the occasion for a serious popular tumult, in which two men have been already killed, and turther violence is anticipated. There is no justification for such a riot ous demonstration in a country where the law is strong enough to punish the guilty; but the firing upon the mob seems not to he fully justified, and in any case greatly to be deplored.” Had the occurrence taken place in the South, when the law, administered by Radical officials, wouldnothavepunished the criminals, the Iribwne would have been one of the first to hail it as a great “Ku-Klux outrage,” and would have in voked a punishment upon the offenders. As it is, it only metes out a very “mild reproach.” Bgk, The Washington correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette (Radical) under date of January 3d, has the following paragraph: “Niles G. Parker, State Treasurer of South Carolina, who has been here for several days, left for Charleston to-night. He says that the State officials have only complied with the law in issuing the bonds, as they will be prepared to prove at the proper time. He says that the statement of Bowen that it cost Govern or Scott §100,000 to buy off impeach ment is false. The only inducement of fered to the negro members to vote against impeachment was to promise them a chance to make something. He says Bowen will not get so many votes for impeachment next term as last.” That is possibly the poorest cxculpato ry statement ever made, even in vindica tion of one Radical by another. It has not “cost Governor Scott $1Q£),C00 to buy off impeachment;” but the negro members have been promised that if they will “vote against impeachment” they will have “a chance to make something.”— This is “richness.” portant road, 220 miles in length. This road, leading along the valley of the Platte, cannot exceed in the cost of its construction and equipment the average ot $33,000 per mile, which would amount to some $7,300,000. Under the construc tion of Secretary Browning, the compa ny would receive about 1,500,000 acres, which, at the average of $11 per acre, would amount to $16,500,000, or about §9,000,000 more than the requirements of the company for the construction and equipment of their road. The exposures of land stealing heretofore made, and the manner in which the press had de nounced this kind of jobbery, had led to the supposition that the worst had been told. These new revelations will excite a feeling of surprise that such brazen rob bery should be continued.

Rome, according to the Commercial, has had a party: The ladies dressed in calico, and each one made a calico cravat, the exact color of her dress. These cravats were then put in a hat, and each gentleman drew one. He then found the girl that belonged to the dress that matched his cravat, and was privileged to gallant her during the evening, and escort her home at the winding up of the show. A serious qccident, says the Standard, occurred seven miles east of Talbotton, in the neighborhood in Mt. Zion church, a few days ago, to James Mixon, by the careless shooting of young Mallory, while ont squirrel hunting. It appears that while the squirrel was coming down the the tree, the parties were on different sides, when young Mallory blazed away at the animal with a curly tail, and brought down young Mixon. At an election in Floyd county, on Saturday, for Commissioners of Roads and Revenue, the following gentlemen were elected : Colonel ’William G. Gam mon, Major John H. Dent, Captain Hen ry W. Dean. Colonel Wm. P. Whitmore, John A. Johnson, Esq. Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, the man who at one time controlled the State of Georgia, the Senate of the United States, the President himself, and even Col. J. W. Forney, is literally a fugitive from justice. He has fled from impeachment from the penalties of violated law, and ; perhaps, from the dangers of the peni tentiary, and is as likely to turn up next in Canada as elsewhere. How are the mighty fallen ! Like Gov. Clayton, of Arkansas, Bullock resigned in the face of impeachment, but was checkmated in the same move which proved successful to his brother of the carpet-bag. Clayton, with Gen. Grant and a Radical Legisla ture at his back, secured the successor- ship to a devoted and subservient friend, through whom he retains liis influence and^holds the State in his breeches pock et. *In Bullock’s case Executive influ ence and patronage were powerless; public sentiment prevailed, and a Demo cratic majority ruled, which defeated all his well laid plans. His chosen successor is already deposed, and, like a criminal condemned, he escapes, by ignominious flight, the just penalty of his political and moral turpitude. Badicalism has basely deserted him in his utmost need, and none is now so poor as to do him reverence, or even to palliate the offenses or even justify the acts he has committed as the legitimate and faithful representative of Radicalism and reconstruction-. The place which Bullock so disgraced has been well filled by the election of James M. Smith, who is soon to be inaugurated as Governor.— The Badicals manifested their chagrin at the defeat of their plan of retaining the Governorship in their hands, by with holding their votes at the late election and setting np the pretence that the elec tion was unconstitutional, and even mak ing an attempt to enlist the interference of the administration at "Washington in their behalf.
