Georgia has suffered much already from reckless, ille gal legislation, and wo hope that nothing may be done which will give Congress any excuse for reojiening the case, or de prive tlio people of the rights guaranteed to them iu their State Constitution,— Hands off, gentlemen, and * let ns liayo peace.’ ’’ And the Boston Adeetiis-rr (also treme Radical paper) says: Tho President has said over and over again that there is no way of avoiding an election (in Georgia) in the fall, except by violating the constitution.” We take the above from the Columbus (Go.) Enquirer. It seems to be a settled fact with everybody that it waa the inten tion of Congress that an election should take place this fall, save c. few interested Radicals in and around Atlanta, and a portion, we fear a majority, of the Legis lature. They seem determined to pro long their term. For this, from their standpoint, we don’t know that they are blameahle, for they know that should nn election take place ninety-nine of every hundred of them would he “ found want ing,” and retnrned to their state of vaga bondism, from whence the revolutionary upheaval brought them. ‘ Hence they pre fer to “live in clover” a while longer.— With them nine dollars a day Is a thing that happens but once iu a life time.

But aside from jesting. The crisis at hand is nn important one, on> mentous magnitude,and demanding grave thought and high courage.

The Buffalo Courier gives the follow ing account of the young fellow who is to jump Niagara falls for ten thousand dollars ; About three hundred people, including number of ladies, assembled at the Lake Shore Railway bridge yesterday afternoon to witness Frank Thorne make a leap from the bridge into the creek. About 5,o,clock Frank appeared on the uper side of the bridge, dressed in a sort of Georgia uniform—“trunks,” we be lieve is the technical name—and was greeted with any amount of lapphraoe The intrepid jumpist responded bv graoefolly waiving his hand to the crowd and almost immediately started on a run for tho verge.

The distance from thb top of the bridge to the water is a little less than fifty feet. Some Uule in convenience was experienced by Mr. Thorne from the near proximity of the telegraph wires to the edge of the ju mp ing point, necessitating a running jump of abont six feet to clear them.

The Democratic meeting iu Columbus on last Tuesday afternoon ad op toil reso lutions permanently organizing tho party in that county ; also adopted a series of resolutions of sound, wise policy, ono of which we extract, as foUows : “ Resolved further, That said delegates be, and are hereby, requested and in structed to oppose the appointment to the State Executive Committee of any person of donbtful fidelity to the Democratic party, or in any way allied to the ene mies of the State." We heartily endorse this resolution and hope the State Convention will act in ac cordance. Tho time is at hand wheu the life of the party and interest of the peo ple demand that men of donbtfnl fidelity to the Democratic party shonld be dis lodged from commanding positions.— They can and will not lienefit either the party or the cause, and the sooner some of the present State Executive Committee are displaced the better tho people will be satisfied and the more prosperous will become the party. We suppose the par. ty can live and move and have its exist ence with the aid and influence of Whit aker and the Intelligencer. It may be they aro strongly Democratic, but we 't see it in tV* light. The idea is now: l of principle, not policy.

The Nathan Murder. -TheNew York papers arc following rapidly the track of the Sunday Mercury. They place the murderer within the family circle, and unmistakably charge one of the sons with it. Their theory is Uint the son taking tho monoy from tho safe—that the father rose from his bed and remonstra ted—an angry altercation ensued, ending in tho ninrdcr. The Evening Erpress says three of the suns at tho funeral were overwhelmed with grief- -a fourth acted strangely, waa pule and covered his eyes with his hat. The New York Herald, which at first denounced tho Sunday Mercury for charging the crime npon the son, now gives a list of reasons in support of tho theory that the eon did it.— For the sake of humanity und all that is dear in the affections of kindred, wo hope it may bo proven that the son is innocent. Bnt circumstantial evidence, and the sharpest theories, are coiling around-that son with a terrible pressure. honest legislation in comparison with this aggression npon the fundamental lav of the land.

The Times says parties in France will make the Emperor pay the penalty o&ill success. His name is already ignored in the acts by which the Regency seeks to rally the people. Things arrange themselves as if he was not expected to resume his power, and as testing how he may be dispensed with altogether.

A Few Fffoully Word! to the South Under ibis head, the New York World, of Friday, has a long leader, which eludes as follows : We ask the Southern Democrats to recognize tho fact that the North is the real battle ground of political freedom for their section. Hero, where tho vie toiy is to bo won, if won at all, wo hare no negro voters worth naming. It is a contest bet ween two parties of white gien, and a perpetuation of tho old quarrel about tho rights of the negro only strengthens the enemy. The negro question is the only one on which the Radical party- agree; it is their only principle of cohesion. The surest way to prevent the disintegration of the Re publican party, is to keep that question alive and to continne to forte it upon tho country as a political issue. The Dem ocrats can become \ majority only by drawing off some Republican votes; but on the negro issue the Republican party ran easily hold its own, ana so long as it retains the control of Congress there can be no freedom in the South. If that section will heed the timely advice gfre* in the Democratic Congressional sildrare, and drop “deed inure,” we can easily revolutionize the lower branch of eloae at hand. We ask the Southern Democrats, both ter their sake and for ours to put no obstacle in the way ol our achieving this victory.

The French artillery endeavored to make a stand at Niederburn, but the town was taken by the Bavarians and the enemy retired on their route to Bistche. The cavalry of Wurtemborg captured tho euemyt’ stores and four piece* of artillery at Rmclishofen. The dead and wounded cover the route of the retreating army. This morning we have occupied Hognen- au, evacuated by the enemy. The Ger man troops hold both banks of the Saar, having occupied Soaregimens and For- bach after a slight resistance by the French.

Degradation of Swearing.—It is no mark of a gentleman to swear. The mest worthless and vile, tlie refuse of mankind, the drunkard and tlie prostitute, swear as well as the best dressed sod educated gentlemen. No particular endowments requisite to give a finish to the art of cursing. The basest and meanest of mankind swear with as much tact and dull as tho most refined; and he that wishes to degrade himself to the very low est level of pollution and shame, should learn to be a common swearer. Any man has talent enough to learn to curse God, and imprecate perdition on themselves and their fellow-meu. Profane swearing never did any man any good. No man is the richer, or wiser, or happier for it It helps no one’s education or manners. It commends no one to any society. It is disgusting to the refined, abominable to the good ; degrading to the mind ; profitable, needless, and injurious to so ciety ; and wantonly to profane hi* name, to call his vengeance down, to curse him, and to invoke his vongeonce, is perhaps of all offences the most awful in the sight of God.—Louth. Look Sharp at Your Five Dollar Bills.—A very ingenious trick has re cently come to light, by which teu five dollar bills are manufactured out of i with but one pasting to each of the manu factured notes, and that iu different ports of each note, and each note minus tenth of itself. This loss is hardly per ceptible with » casual glance, and it is said large numbers of these mutilated bills are in circnlatiou. Be careful The Department will not redeem a bill which bears evidenee on its face that it has been tampered with.

Tlie tiling never worked, and was generally ridiculed, bnt the French, it seems, have made it effective. arrested dead. The Parisuns are receiving arms aud they are all republicans at heart. The establishment of a provisional govern ment is already talked of. Paris August 9.—The Minister of tlie Interior has issued a proclamation announcing that according to the terms of the lavr ct 1849, on the declaration of a state of siege, the military authorities have the right to interdict all publications of a nature to excite or keep up disorder. Such proposition as tiiat made by the Siecle to institute a committee of defense tends to anarchy, and compromises unitv of action, creating usluss agitation. In advance of Die council of Ministers, it is decided that the military authorities shall apply prescriptive measures to any journal renowing such proposition. New Yobs, August 9.—A Gable patch from Curlsmhe dated to-day states that S tnuiblxmrg is surrounded by on army of sixty thousand Prussian troops, mostly from South Germany.
