Greene, of the Flint Circuit, from col lecting the tax of 20 per cent, on liquors from members of the Atlanta Liquor Dealer’s Association upon a petition from tlmt body. A case is pending in the Savannah Court which will decide the matter. between these potentates settled by the Viceroy’s surrender of bis steel-dad war steamers and the redaction of his army, than it was reopened by the discovery that Ismail Pacha has been raising secret loans in Europe and enlisting many dis tinguished officers for liis military ser vice, which is lieing put into a state of full efficiency. This second departure of the Khedive is met in a prompt manner by tho Saltan. Ho has ordered a grand concentration of troops to take place at Shumla daring the present summer. All tho garrisons that can bo spared from tho Second Army Corps, now stationed Bulgaria, will march thitkor and be joined by abont thirty thousand men of tho Imperial Ottoman Guard under Me- hemet Pacha. Shumla is the very centre and headquarters of tho Sclavic move ment sketched out by Kossuth, in his plan of a Danubian confederation, to be made np of Roumanians and Bulgarians as well os bis own disaffected country men. The Sultan thus means to “beard tho lion in his den” and mako an issue with the Khedive, which the latter must meet in an open manner. How will it be met.* If the Khedive is not supported by one or more of the Great Powers, of course he will have to surrender. Egypt cannot cope with Turkey single-handed. But will he be left to meet the issue alcne? That is not probable. France must pro tect the Snez Canal. While the Khedive rules in Egypt, Napoleon is virtually master of the situation. Not so if the baton of authority from the Viceroy and puts it into the hands of a more pliant took Then France will have to play second fiddle in the concert. Theso considerations which will induce France to support tho Khedivo in liis difficulties with tho Sultan. The Czar of Russia also interested in widening the breach between tho Sultan and his refractory subject. He will favor the Viceroy, for a war commenced on this issue is the virtu al aettlemen of the Eastern question. It said that the Egyptian plan has aiders and abettors at St. Petersburg. It ii the direction of Roumonia that tho Czar might, by creating a diversion for which the revolutionary party would bo used ns a cat’s paw, most materially aid tho Khe dive should the latter be attacked by the Saltan, and henco tho head of the Otto man empire is concentrating troops at Shnmla for the double purpose of keep ing the principalities in check and also over-awing the Khedive: This Turkish question is an important ono at tho pres ent time. It may disturb the whole of Europe, and bring the flag of Russia to the shores of the Mediterranean. What Napoleon and the Czar proposed at Til sit may yet bo realized. Wc ate not of those who appreci ate tho eloqaenoe of the Rev. Henry V. Beecher, or who credit him with all the piety and .philanthropy which in the eyes of his admirers noons to ooze from his every pore. But as a religious wag he is inimitable. There is a jocosity in his way of handling sacred themes that wo find in no other preacher. He touches upon the awful mysteries of the infinite and the eternal in tho most hilarious tone. In the forms and ceremonies of the sects and churches, he can always find fnn. A pleasing account of the latest proceeding of this clerical clown take from tho New York Herald. Plymouth church had a pic liic. The pastor of Plymouth, of course, was pres ent. On tho boat, stimulated to un wonted mirth by the good things which they had enjoyed, the party determined completing a jolly dny by an enter- tniumeut of a somewhat less worldly character than tho sports with which they had boguiled the previous hours. So the proper arrangements having been perfected, tho “Rev.” Mr. Beecher was arrested on the charge “ of having gone over to the church of Romo.” A jury composed of males and females ns cmpannelled and a clergyman of Mr. Beecher's persuasion was the judge. A long indictment was read,the substance has not been given tis, but which have no doubt made lively sport of divers things which some persons regard as the very rock of tbeir solvation. Tho most comical part of the performance, how ever, was “the production of a photo graph of Mr. Beecher officiating at the altar of a Romish church, arrayed in the fall canonicals of a Roman Catholic priest” How this elegant and original caricature was surrepticionsly prepared and held in readiness for the occasion wo are not informed. This evidence regarded as conclusive, and Mr. Beecher was found guilty, and tho “ jndgo passed tho very capital punishment of ordering the six huly jurors to kiss the pastor of Plymouth church.” Being “ ladies, ” they seem to have had no sort of objec tion to kissing a man, and the congrega tion of Plymouth church appear to have thought it perfectly natural that their pa;tor should be promiscuously kissed by the lii8cioas lips of the fcmalo members. Thus ended this cheerful and edifying travesty. The pic nio was eminently succe- 'fid. A sniff of fresh air, a sub stantial feed, a burlesque on solemn tilings, and a little diversion smackingof free love, constituted an ndmiiable pro gramme for Plymouth church. A jolly dog, indeed, is Beecher, who makes such pious fuu and gets paid in sulistantial kisses. A CARD. Office of Ga.

The object of the Society and of the Convention being to cherish and ad vance the cultivation of the soil by which all, press and people, live, gives signifi cance and importance to every item of intelligengce connected with it. This constitutes tho claim for the favor asked. Fall confidence is felt in a cheerful com pliance. Acknowledgments are now due and are hereby tendered for like re peated favors. As a matter of general interest the papers are requested to publish the names of tho delegates of County Societies to tho August Convention.

Dissatisfaction all Round.—A Wash ington letter says: “It is notorious that t ho appointments of Grant have in al most every instance given offence to his party, and led to internal wrangling and dispute. The White House is constantly beseiged by sore-headed Senators and Representatives. Senator Sumner, it ap pears, ranks among the sore heads. Rid ing to tho capitol in a street car, the oth er day, ho engaged in a conversation with the Hon. Fernando Wood, daring which he criticised Grant’s appointments most unmercifully. The World states that the investi gation into the aflais of the late Collector Bailey, of New York, has been completed and it is now known that the amount of his defalcations exceeds the sum of $600, 000. His sureties are liable only to the amount of $100,000, and the Government therefore sustains a loss of half a million of dollars by tho misconduct of this ‘vigorous and earnest” officers, Through out the whole affair there bg« been a determined effort to screen the default. Ha has never been arrested, and his friends up to the last moment have insis- ed that the deficit in his accounts was less than $100,000. The hero of a recent publication is thus pictured by the author: 4 falls in love with a handsome actress; his friends break off the match; falls in love with a silly flirt; proposes to a sensible woman; she refuses him; writes for the papers; his mother dies; he proposes to the silly flirt; marries the sensible w man.” Exactly.

All, and more than is asked for by the dwellers in British Columbia, has been conceded by the rulers of the Dominion. An annual grant of $35,000 is pledged to support the local government and legislation; two British steamers ore to ran fortnightly trips between Victoria and San Francis co; the construction of a railroad across the continent is guaranteed at a cost, if necessary, of one hundred million dol lars; six Representatives and three Sena tors are to be admitted to the Dominion Legislature; all public officers appointed shall be acceptable to the annexed colo nies, and many other things are promised to put and keep theso people in a con tented frame of mind. Fall down and worship me and I wili give you all the kingdoms of the earth was the promise of a certain calorie gentleman centuries ago, and in that spirit the officials of tho Dominion seem to be acting now. They declare that the people of Colombia shall have money and steamboats and railroads and representation. But all theso things are not at the command of the Domin ion. They cannot construct a railroad across the continent at the point desig nated. It will not pay, when antagon ized by tho North Pacific road, which will be finished in a few years. That work will draw the attention of the peo ple of British Colombia more strongly in the direction of the United States, and render all tho promises of the Dominion barren of results. 'What a Man Does.—According to a French statistician, taking the mean of many accounts, a man of fifty years of age has slept 6,000 days, worked 6,500, days, walked 800 days, amused himself 4,000 days, was eating 1,500, days, was sick 500 days, Ac. He ate 17,000 pounds of bread, 17,000 pounds of meat, 4,600 pounds of vegetables, eggs and fish, and drank 7,000 gallons of liquid, viz : water, coffee, tea, beer, wine Ac., all together. This would make a respectable lake of 300 square feet surface and three deep, on which a small steamboat could navigate. And all this solid and liquid material passed through a human being in fifty years. A lady in an Ohio country church rested her head on the back of the pew in front, os all devout people do time of prayer, but in the pew bofore her sat a young man who neither bowed liis head nor kneeled.

It seems that there was a loving couple that lived in a neighborhood relM Copperas precinct, Peoria County, who were anxious to get married, bnt they could not find a minister who had been licensed nor a Justice of the Peace who hxd been oommimianed to many people. They finally met with a Jnstioe who con cluded to set them agoing, and gave-the following certificate: ye that John Smith and Peggy Myers are liiirtiiiaMM|iiPlnpiW ami in ■■ old toUcs does, anywhere inside of Cop peras precinct, and when my commission comes I am to marry ’em good-and date ’em back to Uver accidents. Crops in Hancock county are promis- mur, but at last patience ceased to bo a virtue, and from the flash of his eagle eye one could Dlamlrspo that the hour of “that fly” had come. Instead of saying “Shoo, fly, don’t bodder me,” cautiously his hand moved toward the supposed in sect; then followed a frantic clutch and a spring behind him. Imagine the horror of the youth to find in his hand tho nobby hat of the fair one, which lie hod torn violently from her head, sadly dis arranging the contonr of braids and chignon. The lady was indignant, of course, and the youth oould not have felt cheaper than he did about that time. Explanations and apologies followed,and the disorganized was pat in order as soon as possible, and the devotional exercises were removed, ■Wan in Europe.—Tho attempt of the Spanish Cortes to put tho Prince of Ho- henzollorn on the thrown of Spain, has caused groat excitement in political cir cles throughout Europe; particularly in France, between which power and Pms- (to which Hoheuzollern belongs) a spirit of jealousy lias existed since Prus- iia humbled tho proud Emperor of Aus tria at Sadowa. The following dispatches, dated Lon' Aon, July, the 9th, (Saturday) will give idea of how matters stand between the parties : Tho questions at issue between Franco and Prussia, relative to the Span ish crown, creates some uneasiness is English markets, both here and in Liver pool. Breadstuff* and cotton are uncer tain in tone and prices, and irregular al together—due to tho possibilty of a conti nental war. Despatches received from some quar ters of movements of troops—strengthen ing of garrisons and departure of fleets— well calculated to excite the gravest apprehensions. To-day the Austrian gov ernment is preparing to form a perma nent camp near tL« Prussian frontier. The following facts, rumors and addi tional opinions are gathered from many sources, by telegraph to-day : The North German Berlin Gazette, in its leading tide to-day, says the French press is i pndent and insulting in regard to the ac tion taken by Prussia on tho Spanish question, and that the sdection of Prince Hoheuzollern depend solely on the Span ish cortes and noton the wishes of for eign powers. Paris is considerably excited to-day by rumors that Prussia is actively arming at tho Baltic Ports. The Gazette de France, of Paris, says: Dnke do Grammout’s declaration in the Corps Legislatin', recently, is equivalent to the French ultimatum. The present situation is tbo result of Bismarck’s in trigues. Paris, July 9.—Bourse opened excited, this morning. Routes, 70 and 25, or 25 centimes lower than the closing figures last night. Tha French Minister of War lias issued an order to all Generals Commanding, re quiring them to report to the war office immediately the condition of the troops, arsenals, ammunition, in their respective deportments. Paris--0 p. M.—There seems to be no doubt that tho Government is in receipt of tbo long expected answer from the Prussian Government on the subject of the Spanish throne difficulty. It is inti mated in well informed circles that, in answer, Prussia makes tlio following points: First, disclaiming all participation ii the candidature of tho Prince of Hohen- zoliern. Second, that Prince Hohenzol- lem is not even a relation of the Royal family of Prussia, and third, that Gen. Prim negotiated with the Prince of Ho- henzollern, 'and he Aust be responsible, not Prussia.

France objects to this ar rangement, and now the cable brings daily news of impending war between France and Prussia. It is expected that Russia will side with Prussia, and Aus tria with France. Great Britain will naturally take tides against her old ene my, France; and should the conflict come, it will bring with it such a shock as the world has not felt for years. We cannot believe that war will come of this; but ‘our voice is still for war.’— Tho Sonth cannot bo hurt by it, and may be a large gainer. The demand for breadstuff^ will be to great that the South will be compelled to raise them. This les son she must learn, sooner or later, andif Foreign war will teach it, it will prove a God-send to her. Then again, a general European war will knock greenbacks in to a cocked hat, and will be a death-blow to the bonded aristocracy, which now lords it over the country. And this will be another relief to the South—for at present she suffers all the evils incident to our immense war debt, without reap inganyofits advantages. Then again, there is another and a much greater nope looming np in the distance, and that is Southern hulependance! For be it known, wo (our individual self,) have never given np this idea! W e still insist that (he North and South cannot perma nently and peacebly live together in the same household ! While this is true, it is equal ly true—having been demonstrated—that we cannot, unaided, achieve our own in dependence. Should Europe, however, engage in universal war, European pos sessions in America mast become involv ed ; and through these complications,tho United States must inevitably bo drawn into the contest. Then it wili be seen and known that the South will join for tunes with any European power that will guaranteo ns freedom from the thraldom of the North. We ore of the opinion, however, that the time hits not yet como for war. The money market of the great financial oen- tres is the keenest and most sensitive bar ometer of the great public sentiment of Nations, and this does not vibrate to the music of the cannon, drum and fife. We apprehend tho present impending storm will blow over. Still European war is now all the talk in the cities of this coun try, and war news tho cornmou staple of the telegrams.

Tho Journal of the last day’s session was read. On motion of Mr. Watkins, the Hon. H. W. Hilliard was invited to take a seat on the floor. Adopted. It is not, of courso, beyond tho limits of pos sibility that Prussia may refuse to accept the morral defeat inflicted upon her by thin attitude of Franco. But, though this he possible, joico, in the interest of tho peace of the world, to bclievo it eminently improbable. w Even for a strictly German question it would be harder for I’rutJMa to go to war with France in 1870 than it would have been for her to do so in 1866. During the past four years she has lost rather than gained in point both in prestige abroad and power at home. Her financial position is worse than it was in 1866; her peoplo arc more iliscon- itctl, her ucwly-annoxed provinces even are moro hoetilo to her supremacy than they then were. Tho glory of her military achievements has lust something of its dazzling brillam-y as those acliievemcnts have como to be paticntly analyzed by cold-blooded critics. Prussia has less confidence in herself and in her great min ister than she had four years ago. Her position relatively to the reet of Europe has been still more impaired. Austria lias greatly recovered from the 6hock which prostrated her four years ago; the Sonth German Sutes have drawn nean r together and further away from their overshadowing North ern sister. France has not only reconstructed her gigantic army, as wu have said, in all its de partments—alio 1ms accorded to the Emi»eror a new lease of popular sympathy and of popular support. All these thiugu would bo important even in a war begun by France for tho possess ion of tho Rhino. They would be decisive in a war provoked by Prussia for a dynasty beyond the Pyrenees. Who shall fill tho Spanish tliroao is a question in which Germany caunot possibly seo any German interest strong enough to jnsti. fy tho shedding of German blood. To call Ger many to war for tho sake of filling the throDe with a member of tho royal family of Prussia would havo seemed quite in the natural order of thingB a century ago. Attempted now, it would do more to shake the position of King William at home than to confirm the position of his kins man at Ha irid. For Spain herself, an attempt to make a Ho- hcczollcrn her king in tho tooth of France wbukl be an act of madness equally without motive and without measure. It is scarcely conceivable that such a project can be seriously entertainoil by any intelligent * paniard. The most rational explanation, perhaps, that can be suggested of tho share taken by Prim in tlio transaction is that ho hopes through pressing it to rccohcQo all parties in b’pain to the election of the Prince of the Asturias. The most obstinate enemy of the House of Bourbon in Madrid might wollpercfer a boy of Spanich birth, even though a Bourbon, with peace on the Pyrenees, to a new eivil aggravated by the armed intervention, not of the French Government only, but of the wh-do people of Franco. But, whatever form tho matter may take, It is plain that in permitting it to be brought for ward Prussia has committed a terrible blunder and conferred upon Napoleon an immense bene fit. If the issue be war, it will bo a war in wliich Prussia wifi appear as the aggressor, and aa an aggressor inspireo, not by any noble zeal far tbo na^-nia! aggrandizement of Germany, but by an anti- jua ted and anti-social impulse of more dy nastic ambition'.

Michulet, in the Republic of to-day, says: Plebiscite means peace and a pledgo for peace. Ho says if it is doubted, let tho vote be repeated. The Spaniards are apparently uncon cerned abont the situation. The posi tion of Italy is uncertain. Prussia will establish an intrepid camp of twenty- four thousand men at Lorrache. The news that tlio difficulty with Prussia had been settled, was founded upon the announcement th.Hthe father of Hohenzollern would refuse the crown for his son, even if elected by the Span ish people. Ollivicr de Grammonnt and the Pruss ian Minister conferred this afternoon. It was expected that the government wonld make another declaration to-day, as all diplomats were invited to an inter view. Ollivicr replied to an enterpellation, that information would be given at the proper time. The panic on bourse, to-day was caused by the forced sale on sjieculators.
