From the Atlanta Daily Son.]
Mb. Edittb : I’m sorry I can’t fill my prom
ise to call on you. Tm goin homo, lam. I'm
tired of this cvcrlaatia foes. Tbert’e some de-
velmont up, and I’m jnlraa about it. I’ve beard
lota of war talk in the Legislature to-day.—
There’* signs of fight. I don’t think 0 dollars a
day would provoke such hostile language. One
feller said they was Just rarin and chragin for
their constituents, and that was all 0 dollars
gas, but it didn't smell like gas to me. The day
J got here thcro was shoo tin, and n man lulled.
Then again. I see tho members and the outsid
ers dividin up iu littlo squads about at night and
whisperin and juglin and pirontin around. They
aro plottin agin somebody I know. I heard one
one feller say “prolongation,” and another
said “hell,” and another “dam,” and I heard jaw
teeth grit,’' I was a private in Corputs battery,
and I know what a prolong is. It’s a big hemp
rope, with LooLs on the ends, what hitches the
cannon to tho powder box. There’s goin’ to be
shootin certain, and Homebody’s goin’ to be
hurt, and I want Captain Corput to understand
that I have resigned. I hoard another crowd
talkin about State aids. I suppose they are to
be on tho Govern ore staff. Brown had many a
oils in *03 and’4. Hal said he had 700, and Hal
ought to know. A Stait Aid is a good thing.
He can aco the battle from afar off The further
the better for mo. I heard a member say he was
afrood of all tho State Aids would be killed,
but that lio ahould fight mity hard on the road
from filaooa to Knoxville. Another said he
should do his fightin between Borne and Col
umbus. If a man can pick his ground it’s a
good thing.
Mr. Editur, there’s a beep of fuss generally.
Amsntawkcd2 days in the House about the
penitentiary and the conviks, and wlilppin and
slashin and delicate parts, etc. I thought he
thought a good deal of his-seir. I was sonyto
see the members asleep while ho was spealdn,
for i think it was very disrtspekfnl. 1 man said
the spakiat didn't care a dam for the conviks,
but was jess playin his last card agin the
f iovnor, and that he watt then goin to sink down
tetwemt Silla A Karyodis, unknelled, unhanor-
•■•1 and unsung. J notieed his tawk was all
ateut colored conviks; be didn’t seem to be sorry
for a white man.
A man in the gallery was powerful mad with
sum editur—maybe it was you, I don’t know—
but ho axed a man whether he would whip the
editur or not. The man said he didn't know and
couldn’t say, for he hadn't read tho piece, but
that as a general thing in the abstract it was
right to whip ’em. Ef I was you I would carry a
weepin of some soart. even ef it was only an nm-
I got tired of all this, and wauked over to
Whitehall for peace. A friend [I suppose he was
a friendt found me and said he wanted to eee me
particularly. He took me away back and hauled
out some little thumb papers full of figures, and
said he wanted me to insure my life. That
skeerd me worse than anything, for it looked
like I was in danger, and he had just found it
out. I axed him if he thought there would be a
light. He explained things to me, and I felt re
lieved, and declined to insure for the present,
you eee I felt mity well, and coulden’t see tho
necessity. At the next corner I met another
friend, who seemed dad to boo mo exceedingly,
lie held my hand in his several moments. He
axed me if my life was insured. He said ho was
agent for the very best company in tho world.
I axed him how long a man would live under his
company. He then explained to me that* man
might die at any time; that they didn’t under
take to keep a man from dyin. So I declined
but expressed my gratitude for bis interest in
my welfare, and I promised to buy a policy as
coon as I got eick. Just as I left him I heard
him call pome feller a dam phool.
When I got to tho hotel there was a feller
watin’ for me on tho tame business. Ho talked
to mo for an hour about tho uncertainty of life
a ml tho certainty of death. I thought, perhaps,
ho was a missionary. Ho seemed muc
corned about my wife and children, and
twice wiped his eyes with a whit© pocket hnd-
kcrchief. 1 knows 1 ho was a friend, and told
him I would reflect seriously abont tho matter.
I believe that company is a purely philanthrop
ic institution, and would lend a poor fellow a few
dollars if he was sufferin’ I think I will try to bor
row a little from their agent to-morrow. This
morning the first one camo to seo mo agin, and
I concluded I was looking mity bad, and axed
him to excuse mo as I was not feclin’ welL 1
went to Dr. Alexander and got * dose of salts.
He axed me if I was sick. I told him I supposed
1 was, and the reason why. He then told me
all about it, and said thero was 100 of them fel
lers in town, and they all had augers, long au
gers, and they bored about half an inch at the
first interview and an inch at the second in tho
same hole, and so on, until they got to the hol
low, and the patient give in and took a policy.
I don’t know about that, but I will say they are
the friendliest, moat sympathized and kmdest-
heaxted men I have evcrstrnck; only I don’t like
*** much talk about coflius and grave-yards. 1
didn't take tbo salts.
But, Mr. Editur, I tell you there is trouble a
brewin.’ I saw old Bock and General Gordon and
Col. Styles a talking 1 together, and old Tige was-
ent fur off; old Bock’s gray beard was a wagin om
inously, and old Gordon’s scare was a jumpin’
about all over his face; 8tyles looked like he
wanted to eat somebody. I heard him say
something about “Orgca’n Stables,” I suppose
that is where ho keeps his war horses. Scott
■ amo up and said something about the rear
guard. He’s tbo devil on rear guard, and the
array knows it. .Tim Waddell dropped in and
remarked be ‘just as leave die as live if old
Bock said so.” At this moment a feller come
along singin’
The Political Future.
Washington, July 14, 1870.
Republicans from tbe South, at pres
ent in Washington, take a gloomy view
of tho fdtnation at home. A Louisians
Republican, for instance, informs Ins’
friends in the Senate that Louisiana will
givo 5,000 Democratic majority next No
vember, And 25,000 at the next Presiden
tial election.

it was inevitable, and Alcorn laughed.—

The meeting was very euthusastio and

and resolutions wore, amid a storm of
applause, unanimously adopted:

Slates, did, at its last session, pass •*”

G«o*gia, not being as yet reconstruct
ed, I leave out of the account for the
present.
Son’ll Carolina may beset down os
doubtful, but tho Honorable Frederick
Augustas Sawyer, one of her Senators—a
act wMeli was approved on the' 15th itst, j native, by the \ray, of Boston, Mass., and
wherein it was declared that tho State of 1
Georgia, having complied with the recon
struction acts, and by a legal Legislature
ratified articles 14 and In as amendments,
to the Constitution of the United States,
is therefore entitled to representation in
" Tress; and
hercas, Tho said act contains a pro
to the effect that this nor any other
act of Congress shall be so construed as
to deny to the people of this State their
right to hold an election according to the
Constitution thereof, nor so ai to affect
the term of any officer appointed, nor
any member of*the Legislature elected
under said Constitution, and,
Whereas, There are certain persons
>w seeking to pervert the time meaning
and intent of said act of Congress by en
deavoring to secure the passage of reso
lutions by the General Assembly now in
session, to postpone an election till after
the next meeting of Congress, and to re
peal all elec:ion laws now existing in tins

In Tennessee, the Radicals give it up.
Maynard may possibly bere-elected in
ihe Knoxville District If so, lie will be
tho only Radical member from Tennes
see in the next Congress. Etheridge is
on the war path in his district, and he
will be elected.
North Carolina, as the Southern phrase
has it, is looking “very peart” The
Holden party there is dwindling every
day, and will go nnder forever in No
vember. Reqviescat in pace.
Virginia is already redeemed. Govern
or Walker is a trump, and you will find
nulla vestigial retrorsum there. The Old
Dominion is good for 25,000 Conserva
tive majority.
Maryland and Kentucky, in spite of
negro suffrage, will maintain the present
independence of Radicalism.
Delaware will he a close State—but who
knew the Blue Hen’s Chickens to

and tho Constitution of Georgia, is op- come up to the scratch when required.
Pennsylvania Republicans are not in
favor of negro snffrage. Tho Fifteenth
Amendment there is a two-edged kword,
and cuts right and left. In the southern
tier of counties the white people do not
yet believe that negroes are’ their equals.

Another View of the War
Is presented in tbe following extract
from a sermon preached by Dr. Boynton.
Chaplain of tho United States Senate,
on, Sunday last:
“This war concerns the three great re
ligious divisions of Christendom—the
Greek Church, with Russia at its .head ;
the Romish or Latin Church, of w hich
the Pope is the spiritual and France the
military head, and the Protestant Church,
of which Prussia is the European conti
nental leader, and the United States on
this continent, while England, governed
at present by no great idea, religious or
otherwise; isready to fallow where her
interests may lead.”
After heaping unmeasured abuse upon
the heads of the Popes, from Peter down
to Pius IX., the Reverend Doctor of Di
vinity and Politics proceeds:
“Coming down to our own time and
the operations of Louis Napoleon, we
must remember that both in Germany
and in the United States a great Protest
ant power has sprung up, thus bringing
into the field a new foe both to the Pa
id to the despotism of thrones.—■
and the Papacy behold an oppo
nent in the new Greek Church of Russia
and imperialism, and the Romish Church
see a power equally feared in tbe United
States. . Since Louis Napoleon’s attack
on Russia, then on Austria, then on Mexi
co, the position of Europe has been un
expectedly changed. Prussia has sprang
up into a first class Protestant power as
the head of Germany; the supremacy of
the Latin race and of the Romish Church
is threatened in Europe, and France,
urged On by her Jesuits, has made war
upon Prussia for the very same reason
that she attacked Russia and Mexico, to
conquor Europe, and she would, if pos
sible, for France and the Papacy. This
is the real significance oi thowar.'V
n they’ll go.

Of New York and New Jersey
doubts. Grant’s brilliant strategy in the
Murphy business ensures both these
States to the Conservatives anyhow and
beyond a peradventure. A gain of seven
or eight members of Congress iu the dis
tricts where Fenton is potential, may be
expected in November, in New York.—
Fenton was originally a Democrat, and
being now a candidate for the Presiden
cy, he must soon begin to marshal liis
forces at home, to keep Coukling in check
in Oneida and to hold Tom Murphy and
bis myrmidons at hay in that city and
in Long Island.
Indiana shows symptoms of throwing
off the Radical collar.
Ohio is so manipulated by Delano and
his tribe of tax-gatherers, that it is bard'
ly possible to tell what is to become of
her : bnt if Pennsylvania caves in, Ohio
will follow with a rush.
From tho above statement, compiled
from reliable data, it wonld appear that
the Radicals are about to be defeated
next fall in many States now held by
their party.
Cincinnati Enquirer says: So
many feeble brains are exerting them
selves just now to detect and point ont
the inaccuracies of editorial articles oa
the subject of the European war, that we
thought it a good idea *o set a fool-catch-
the other day. This we did by speak-
g of the French Emperor as the grand -
u of the first Napoleon, instead of, as
is customary, the n ‘pliew. We knew
somebody would jump at it as on exhi
bition of very astounding ignorance.—

ledged to have committed an outrage up

Another Revels.—Alexander Clark,
negro, is candidate for the United States
Senate from Arkansas. He has recently
been stumping the State for Clayton for
Governor, for which service and liis
fluenco with tho black voters, he receives
three thousand dollar* in greenbacks, and
ft promise of the Senatorial term. It is
that Alexander is a superior of Clay
ton, and can make a better political
speech than any white Radical in' the

Pabis, July 30.—The Journal Official,

It is well known that Count Yon
Bisbarck made France an offer bofli be
fore and after the war with Austria. The
substance of this offer was that France
should take Belgium as compensation for
the aggrandizement of Prussia.
The Emperor, in all cases, declined the
proposition. The very moment tho trea
ty of Prague was concluded, JJismarek
again betrayed his desire to restore tho
equilibrium^ and make proposals for
combinations affecting the integrity of
States bordering on France. Daring
one of these conversations Count Von
Bismarck dictated to Count Benedetti
this secret treaty project, which has just
been made public, and which Count Yon
Bismarck has kept ever since.
This accounts for the handwriting of
Beneditti, who gave notice of the con
tents of the proposed treaty to the Em
peror's Government fit that time; but the
proposition was promptly rejected. Ben
editti adds that the King of Prussia w
not favorable to Count Yon Bismarel

The advertising agency of Geo.
P. Rowell Sc Co., of New York, is one of
the most extensive, reliable and intel
ligent in the United States, and is far
better than any other on the subject of
advertising. In the Advertiser’s Gazette,
for July,“published by this firm, we find
the following just and true sentiment,
which should have much weight with ad
vertisers :
“ The less frequently a publication is
issued the more thoroughly it is likely to
be read. A daily paper is glanced at or
kept before its reader for an hour or two,
;ind when a day old is generally consid
ered valueless. A weekly paper is kept
about the house much longer, is more
generally read by all the members of the
family, is more reliable and much more
generally preserved as a record of missing
events, or for tho scorns, etc., which it
contains. ” '
D uly papers are but seldom seen
the country, while weekly papers find
thei>- way into every nook and oorner of
the land, and especially is this
agricultural districts; and they are usually
kept on file, after being read, for future
eferencc. The merchant who wishes to
obtain an interior patronage should not
ignore these important facts.
Who Bets ?—George W. Gibbons, No.
6 Clinton place, New York, says:
‘I will wager $10,000 that Emperor
Napoleon will be in the city of Berlin in

the wager I will deposit it in the hands
of some responsible party, agreeable to
both parties, to bo used for some charita

our attention to the ambiguity, in the
notice of tho
touching the payments of dividends
August 1st. It Tends as follows: ‘Com
