, A Contrast. . ,
Col. John Jones, the venerable ExsTreasu-
rer of the State of Georgia, was yesterday
arrested in Atlanta upon a charge of with
holding moneys from the state, and required
to give bond in the smu of ten thousand
dollars. At last accounts he had not been
able to fill his bond. The contrast here
suggested is striking. Blodgett, long a
fugitive on account of his knavery, was ar
rested, carried to Atlanta, and his homl
fixed at fifteen thousand dollars. There
seemed to be a prospect that he would have

Immediately, os the chronicles state, “ pro
minent and wealthy citizens of botli parties”
come to bia rescue, and lie.is now wearing
“a nosegay and grayish pants,” boasting
to chattering and open-mouthed Bohemians
that had there been any necessity therefor,
his bond would have been sigued by a list
of tlie names of citizens filling two pages.
The contrast, we say,, is striking—nay it
is sickening. Here two self confessed
knaves and plunderers are accommodated
with obsequious courts and bondsmen,
while a vene. able Georgian—a patriot and
an hones, man, as we believe—goes about
huuting for names to go upon his bond.
Some civet, good apothecary !
We extract the above from the 8avannah
Hews, which must lie painful truthes to the
great mass of the people of this Common
wealth, facts well calculated to bring a feel
ing of shame and mortification throughout
the whole State. Can it be possible, that
even the people of Atlanta have so far for
gotten the faithful and patriotic services
of this honest old Ex. Treasurer, who has
so nobly devoted well nigh his whole life
to the services of the State he loves so
dearly, as to show fayoritisnr to the thieves

Now, here is something indeed with the
true Centennial ring! Among the arrivals
yesterday in this city wc see. the name of
the Marquis De Rochamhcau, of the French
commission to Philadelphia. How the sound
of the name brings back those days when
our fathers hailed almost with tears of man

the eyes of Americans.— Worid,23d.
Cabinet Changes.—The President sent
the following nominations to the Senate on
the 22nd. inst: Edward Pierrepont, of New
York, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary to Great Brittain; Alphonso
Taft, of Ohio, Attorney General of the Uni
