A widow who has drawn support from her
husband's estate during the year succeeding
j his death, though it Was not formerly set
1 apart to her, and though she rendered valu-
■ able services to the estate throughout the
, same 'period, is entitled to no further allow
ance by way of year’s snpport. She cannot
set off her services against what she has re-
tion. It is difficult to disabuse the mind
from the belief that Austria had calculated
upon receiving physical aid from several of
these Powers; and that resting herself as
sured of their assistance, she was in conse
quence compelled to dictate the terms on
which she was alone willing to enter in the
lately proposed Congress.
The military force that will most probably
be called into actiou is far greater than is
generally credited. The number of men of
alt arms in tlie Prussiau service, including
about 32,000 of tbe military train, when
placed on a war footing, stands, on paper, at
653,000; arm this number, by the addition
of 95,5(K) of the second levy' of the land-
wehr, is increased to 748,500. To add to
this amount there still remains about 320,000

I have in my possession copies of the Loyal

colored people of this city to oome forward
with their SI, $5 and $10 aa a present to the
editor, which are not found in the latter
copies of the same issue of that paper. The
fame and malicious attacks made upon my
self in the Loyal Georgian were occaaioned
by the fact that the editor had been officially
reported to me as engaged in obtaining money
from the colored people under false pretences,
and that in the legitimate performance of
my dnty I was compelled to interfere and
protect them against him, thereby cutting
off a large portion of his income.

More Rejection or the Pbesisent’s
Friends by the Senate.—The Senate, in ex
ecutive session on Wednesday, rejected all
of tbe nominations recently made by the
President in tbe State of Tennessee for Col
lectors and Assessors of Internal Revenue.
They have assigned no reason for their ac
tion. Tbe persons named for the various po
sitions were all personal friends of tbe Presi
dent. They arc as follows:
John W. Bowen, Assessor of the Third
District; Abner A Steel, Assessor of tbe
Fourth District , A. D. Nicks, Assessor of
the Sixth District; William Scales, Assessor
of the Seventh District; A. E. Garrett, Col
lector ot the Tbi- J District; Joseph Ram
sey, Collector of the Fqurth District.
The State Corn roa the Soldiers and
the Destitute Poor —We learu that up to
this lime ihe Stale's supplies of corn from
purcliaaea made in St. Louis, Lave retched
Chattanooga quite slowly, only about 45,000
bushels having bven received. Nevertheless,
CoL P- Tbweatt, the State’s distributing
agent, by judiciously dividing out and ap-
portioniug tb< corn received at that point,
bas been enabled, with remarkable prompti
tude, to ship one month's supply to every
county in the State that has reported benfl-
ciaries. We learu, also, that it waa Col.
Tbweatt s hope before, or by this time, to
ship two months* additional supply to each
county in the State, but the corn has reached
Cbattaoooga so slowly that he fears now to
ship more than one months supply, as bis
second installment, lest be may not
round in time for tbe following monthly sap-
ply. He has hopes, however, that tbe corn
will hereafter be received more freely at
°V»u<inooga from the west, and, if so, he
will ship tailor quantities at one time to the
several counties.
Colonel Tbweatt ia net respo^ble it is
due to him to say. tor the purchase «r th.
corn in any way. It is purchased by the
State’s agent at St. Louis, shipped to him at
Chattanooga, and those Interested in its dis- 1
tribution may feel perfectly satisfied that if:
they do not get their pupplies as fast as they i
may need them, it will not be his fault, as ;
we learn the corn is not detained at Chatta- 1
nooga one day, but is immediately forwarded
to the counties for tbeir suffering poor. Intel.,

Rkmikiscsncks of Chableston.—The ven
erable Mr. J. N. Cardozo, now eighty yean
of age has written a book of one hundred
pages, containing reminiscences of the an
cient city of Charleston. This he proposes
to publish by subscription St fifty cents per
ipy-
These reminiscences of the early settlement,
of Charleston by English csyajjer* French
Huguenots and a very adyentorojii people '
from the Spanish West Indies, are most iu-
taeestmg, and no one can-relate-them- more
Accurately nor more vividly than Mr. Cardo
zo. Many we have heard from .his own elo
quent lips, and they are among the most
curious we have ever heard. Mr. Cardoso
may be called the Nestor of the American
press, and has long been and is now oor best
authority on financial questions, which the
last forty years he has discussed very ex
tensively, as well as many other questions
of tire highest public interest. We can
scarcely conceive more interesting reminis
cences than Mr. Cardozo relates ofbCharles-
ton, except it be those ot onr own city
and State, to Louisianians. Charleston has
of late years become a historic city, and
everything connected with its past or present
condition is of an interest to be eagerly
sought for.—New Orleans Picayune.

orders that when the piesent “quarter” bas
closed that all policy dealers, bogns lottery
ticket swindlers, gift jewelry houses, obscene
picture dealers, “fancy” booksellers, and aU
known public swindling operators, will no
longer be permitted to have boxes at the
General Post Office. This order would take
effect immediately bat for tbe fact the box
reals are paid ia advance, and it waa decided
better to 1st them run an till the close of the
quarter. This is a move in the right direc
tion, and the credit of it is In a great measure
due to tbe efforts of the Mayor, who for
months labored hard to break up this fiefari-
ona business. As early as February last tbe
Mayor requested tbe post office officials “to
at least refuse these operators tbe facility of
boxes in tbe post office.' From indications
it will be seen that their labors bav%oot been
in vain, and, for a time, at least, these peats
of society will be debarred of some ot the.
privileges accorded them by tbe Government
for carrying on their operation*. —Augusta
