“ Whenever you see in a story,” says a

"such an expression as ‘I vow 1 will,’ or ‘I

the fact is quite as remarkable, too. that when
you find in a story such an expression as
“ damphi do,” or “ damphi don't,” you may
know that a woman didn't write it.

OALVES'rox, December 18.—A News spe

Paso county, stating that the State troops
surrendered to the Mexican mob at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Their ammunition was
exhausted, and they were unable to hold out
any longer. After the surrender, Howard,
Atkinson and Mcßride were shot to death by
the Mexicans.

was or was not forged, while the Judge has
locked in his desk the testimony which would
settle the matter, but which cannot be pro

Official news, from the Atlanta Constitu

the majorities of the vote cast on the sth :
Atlanta, majority, 43,946 { Ratification, ma
jority, 69,585 ; Homestead of 1877, majority,

Congress.
Members seem inclined to postpone all im
portant matter till after the recess, hence ve
ry little general business has been done du
ring the last week. The Senate in executive
session have made a few confirmations.
THE GORbOX-rOXKLIXV; DIFFICULTY.
Smith's name had been sent in for a col
lectorship at Mobile, and the committee had
endorsed the nomination, but were holding
back their report. Gen. Gordon called for
the report, that the Senate might confirm the
appointment. Mr. Colliding very imperious
ly (as stated) called out: “Oh. goon with the
Calendar.” Gen. Gordon replied that ‘lie
hoped the Senate would not he governed by
the dictations (or orders) of the Senator from
New T ork to the Vice President.' Mr. Conk
ling did not, or apparently did not hear; and
ask*?d that the remark be repeated. Gen.
Gordon then very coolly and precisely re
peated what he had said,
Mr. Colliding replied that if the Senator
from Georgia said the Senator from New
York was ordering the Vice President to pro
ceed, it was not true.’ Gen. Gordon said:
| 'Very well, we will settle this matter.’ Mr.
j Conk ling said, ’We will settle it here ;’ ‘and
I now,’ some reports say.
Gen. Gordon replied, ‘No, sir, we will set-
I tie it elsewhere.’
At the close of the session. Senators Thur
man and Hamlin made conciliatory talks,
suggesting that Senators Gordon and Conk
ding had, at first, misapprehended the pur
: port of each others’ remarks.
After the Senate adjourned, the friends of
j Senators Gordon and Colliding intervened
and succeeded in adjusting the difficulty,
honorably and in a manner satisfactory to
both parties.
A paper stating this fact was afterward
read in the Senate.
These are the main points of the difficulty,
| as we gather them from our exchanges.
It is stated by Southern papers that Mr.
! Conidi ng has, for some time past, borne hira
-1 self in a manner very imperious and dogmat
ic, toward Gen. Gordon, and that the latter
! had submitted to the former's half-sneering
j tones long enough.
War in the East.
Latest reports represent the Turkish loss
at Plevna, in killed, wounded and prisoners,
to be about 30,000. A large amount of mili
tary stores fell into the hands of the Rus
sians. It is stated that Osman Pasha had
provisions sufficient to last his army two or
three weeks, but a fearful epidemic broke out
in Plevna and 40 or 50 of his soldiers died
per day, and no detail could he spared even to
bury the dead. This forced him to try the
sortie, which failing, he was compelled to sur
render. The reports of his wound are con
flicting ; the last stating that his foot had to
he amputated. lie was treated with the ut
most courtesy, and highly complimented on
his defense, by the Grand Duke Nicholas and
other Russian officers. It is said that the
Russians will not move on the Balkans imme
diately, but await the effects of the fall of
Plevna.
By late telegrams comes the news that the
Sultan has sent circulars to the leading pow
ers of Europe asking for mediation. Prus
sia was at first reported to he averse to any
interference by the Powers ; but later news
brings hopes of better results. The Porte
proclaims perfect equality to Turk and Chris
tian, and calls on all non-Mohamcdan sub
jects to join in defense of the empire.
KIIZROUM.
Is still in a state of siege ; and the Russians
are sending forward heavy guns to operate
against the town.
SERVIA
lias finally decided to cross into Turkish ter
ritory, and co-operate with the Russian forces.
Prince Milan has issued his proclamation to
that effect, hoping, no doubt, to reap some
fruits of the victory in the form of Russian
protection after the war is closed. It is not
stated whether the Czar will, at this late hour,
accept the proffered aid.
ELENA
lias been evacuated by the Turks and is now
occupied by Russians.
Bullock’s Case.
The case of the State against Rufu9 B.
Bullock has been again continued, and again
continued at the request of the attorneys for
the prosecution. We believe that the State
has asked for no less than three continuances
since a requisition from Governor Smith
brought Bullock within the jurisdiction of the
Courts of Georgia. The most serious charges
have been made against this. Grand juries
based true bills upon them. The flight of
Bullock before any proceedings were com
menced was evidence of a guilty conscience.
Nine-tenths of the people of the State believe
him guilt}'. Yet he has not been brought to
trial. At one time it was said, and justly,
that he was beyond the jurisdiction of the
State Courts. But while he remained away
his whereabouts were well known and the
first genuine effort made to procure his pre
sence proved successful. For the past two
years he has been come-atable and has never
failed to respond to the mandates of the
Courts. But he has not yet been brought to
trial. We do not know where the blame of
all these things should properly be placed ;
but plain men do not understand them. The
people wonder why it should take more than
six years to bring to justice a man accused
of crime. Let us have an end of the matter.
Bullock should be either tried and convicted
or tried and acquitted.— Citron. t$- Const.,

An Extra Session of the Legislature Not
Necessary.
It having been suggested that a necessity
existed for the call of an extra session of the j
newly elected Legislature to provide for pos
sible contingencies, the Atlanta Constitution
has interviewed several gentlemen learned in
the law on the subject, all of whom are of
opinion that no such necessity exists. Col.
Alexander, of Rome, whose opinion covers
the whole ground, says if the office of Gov
ernor should become vacant by death of the
present incumbent before the meeting of the
Legislature in November next, lion. Rufus
E. Lester, present President of the Senate,
would unquestionably be the Governor. lie
says: *
“The Legislature elect would not be com
petent to call itself together. It is against
the Constitution for it to assemble before
November, 1878. It was elected for the pur
pose of meeting on that day, and it cannot
meet at any other time, unless the Governor
should convene it by a call. Until the mem
bers of that Legislature meet and are quali
fied. the old Legislature is our regular Legis
lature. If the Governor should die, Presi
dent Lester will be Governor ex-officio.
“As to the homestead, it would be impos
sible for any one to take either the homestead
of’6B or ’77 just now. The two homesteads
were put tip as two candidates and voted for.
The homestead of’6B was wiped out by the
vote, and all that attaches to it went with it.
As to the homestead of’77, there is no tech
nical channel through which that could be
reached. It is a guaranteed right that is not
at present available. Ido not think, how
ever, it will be necessary for the Legislature
Ito be called to provide a remedy. The courts
will make a law for themselves, as they fre
quently do. They will probably take the pro
cedure of ’6B and allow a man to take under
it the homestead of ’77.’’
The Difficulty Between Messrs. Gordon and
Conkling.
The llon.Roscoe Conkling, of New York,
flushed with his victory over Hayes, and evi
dently forgetful of the changed condition of
the status of the United States Senate, was
rash enough on Friday last to impeach the
veracity of Senator Gordon, of this State.—
For the pnst sixteen years Congressmen have
been indulging very freely in thiskind of talk
to each other with impunity, and it must have
surprised the puffed and frizzled New York
Senator considerably when General Gordon,
in the manner of quiet dignity, which is one
of his characteristics, gave him to understand
that lie would hold him responsible, personal
ly, for the insult. Indeed, the spectacle, so
novel of late years, of a member of Congress
holding another member accountable for in
, r
suit in Washington, has had the effect of stir
ring up the public mind there to an unwont
ed degree, and wc read that General Gor
don's determination created a general and
decided sensation.
This morning's dispatches inform us that
the difficulty had been amicably adjusted,
we suppose, of course, by Mr. Conkling’s
making due apology and retracting his offen
sive language. The occurrence, however, will
not be without its beneficial effects. In the
first place, we venture the opinion that Mr.
Roscoe Conkling will never be so forgetful
as to misdemean himself in a similar way
again. In the second place, it teaches, not
only Mr. Conkling and the Senate, but the
whole country, that changed circumstances
have changed Congressional customs, and
henceforth instead of the vulgar
ing and blackguardism which of late years
has so often disgraced the halls of the Nation
al Legislature, something of £the ante-bellum
courtesy and dignity—“plantation manners,”
if you please—will mark the bearing of mem
bers towards each other. At any rate, if an}’
one presumes on a contrary course, he will
do so at his peril, and knowing that he must,
personally, bear t-hc responsibility of his ac
tion.—Sav. News, \lth.
The Public Embroglio.
The Governor will not call the Legislature to
gether —A Contingency Left Open—The
Homestead Once More—Still an Unsettled
Question. •
The Atlanta Constitution , of the 16th.
says : —The discussion on the question of the
adaptability of the new Constitution opened
in this paper, raged fiercely all day yesterda}’.
One perplexing element was removed from
discussion by the statement that the Govern
or would not call the legislature together.—
This assertion, which did not come directly
from the Governor, iriav be accepted as cor
rect. The Governor makes no statement at
all, but there is authority for saying that no
extra session will be called.
We arc thus left without any provision for
a succession in case of the death of the Gov
ernor. We shall have to rely upon the ex
cellent health of the Governor to save us
from confusion in this regard.
As to the Homestead, that is a vital and
important question that cannot be postponed.
It will press for solution at once. It cannot
be evaded or put aside. It is essential that
a speedy solution of the matter should be
made. Our leading lawyers disagree upon
the matter very widely, and it will in all pro
bability take a decision of the Supreme court
to give definite shape to the problem. The
more the question is discussed, the more rad
ical is the difference of opinion.
The case before Judge Pittman has not yet
been adjudicated, but it is safe to say that
Judge P. has determined io issue the appli
cant the homestead of 1877, under the sta
tutes made pursuant to the Constitution of
1868. This case will in all probability go on
to the Supreme court as rapidly as it can be
carried there.
A NOVEL VIEW OF THE HOMESTEAD.
On yesterday we interviewed Messrs. W.
T. & W. J. Winn, of Marietta, and they say
that we now have three homesteads in Geor
gia :
First, the fifty acre homestead under sec
tion 2040 of the code ; good against debts of
any date.
Second, the homestead of 1868 good !
against all debts accruing from its adoption 1
to the date of the adoption of the Constitu
tion of 1877.
Third, the homestead under the Constitu
tion of 1877, which will apply to all debts
after its adoption.

Peace for France.
Marshal MaeMahon has succeeded in form
ing wlmt is called the Batbie cabinet with
Dufaure at its head. This seems to give
general satisfaction.
It seemed difficult to procure a finance
minister, but M. Jahan finally undertook it. j
It is stated that Duke de Broglie urged
that this cabinet be only temporary, and that
a plebiscite or a dissolution take place about
Christmas. On understanding this plan and
its unlawful nature, the Marshal was much
incensed, and declared that lie would not
speak to the Duke again, but a partial recon
ciliation was effected. MacMahon's prompt
and stern rejection of De Broglie’s proposi
tion has restored general confidence in the
President's good faith, and it is now hoped
that all differences will be adjusted, and that
peace and prosperity will reign in the Em
pire.
