THE DICKENS FAMILY REUNITED. A completo reconciliation has taken place between Mrs. Dickens and her sis ter—it seems too painful to add, and be tween Mrs. Dickens and her eldest daugh ter. A few days ago there was a meet ing between tho three ; much shedding of tears and poignancy of feeling ; but tho end is as I have described. It would appear that it was the deceased alone who stood in the way. His death unites tho children to the mother, and sister to sister! One wishes the veteran Mr. Hogarth, whose death occured a few months since, could have witnessed this meeting. Mr. Hogarth, who was the intimate friend of Walter Scott, and who often sat with Wilson in tho “Ambrosial Nights,” was a singularly tender-hearted man, and no ono can exaggerate the grief which he felt ot the indifference be tween his daughters. I have heard his voice break ns he spoke of it—He liked liia son-in-law, and was once exceedinly proud of him; bnt, after the separation, lie conld not bear to hear liia name men tioned. His sympathies were solely with the wifi*, and it nppfeared as though some loved ideal was shattered when Dickens told his wife he could live with her no longer. OBEAT MEN AND THRIlt WIVES. From tho days of Socrates to Charles Dickens there has l>een ono long succes sion of unfortunate examples. Poet and painter, dramatist and novelist, philoso pher and linguist, the Moliers, the Mil- tons, the Byrons, theBnlwers, thoDurors the Sealigers, the Sheridans, the Thack- erays—will all marry and quarrel in the future, os they have in the past. All these men, without exception will, in the future, as in the past, blame tlieir wives for tho several successive catastrophes. Aud yet what a rockord of heartlessness and indifference our greatest ineu have left their domestic life. Dr. Franklin, that old ntiliturinn kite-flyer, went to Europe, leaving his wife behind, and never saw her face for eleven years. She had shared his poverty, practiced his Poor Richard maxims, pinched and econo mized, patched and darned, worked ear ly and late, bred children, nursed them through spine, jaundice, ml gnm, whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever and fits, while Benjamin enjoyed the splendor of a conrt, velvet coaches, great dinners and choice society. Of course when ho came hack the poor drudge was no match for the philosopher; there was a great gulf between them. That her heart rebelled was manifest in tho headstrong nets of his children. He quarreled with his sons and disinherited of them. A just retribution for any wrong on woman is sure to come iu the vice and crime of her children to the third and fourth generation. Henry Clay thought he could safely leave his tho circus tent, in the open air, this being a gratuitous exhibition given before the commencement of the performances for the purpose of attracting a crowd. Her first appearance in public occurred at Cliicago, in April, 1857. The day was a windy, disagreeablo one; the atmosphere was damp, and tho wiro was wet and slippery. As she commenced her peril ous journey tho gusts of wind playexl the mischief with her abbreviated skirts, and rendered it extremely difficult for her to keep her footing. But, with balance pole in hand, she steadily pursued her way until she had walked half the length of the wire. At this point she unfortu- Hatley made a misstep, and to the horror of the gaping crowd, came with great velocity to the ground. A stalwart mi berof the company caught her in arms, however, and saved her from injury, whereupon she plnckily tried the operation over again, and this time with complete success, walking to tho top of tho tent and then performing tho still more defficult feat of descending to the ground by the same hazardous course, retiring at the conclusion of her per formance amidst a general chorns of shonts and cheers from the unwashed multitude who had been admiring her beauty and daring. Tnls was her f rat appeaaance in pnblic, but she repeated the performance twice a day tho whole of the traveling season, which lasted six or seven months, during which time the circns visited the principal towns of Illi nois, Missouri, Arkansas and Kentucky. During her stay in Chicago she was at tended on various occasions by a com mon looking seedy individual, whom she introduced to the company as her broth er, but who, it was afterwards learned, was no less au iudivdual than HER HUSBAND. Alter leaving Chicago this individual vanished from sight, and like Billy Lackaday’s father, “ho was always kept in the background an never since been heard from.” In the Autumn the circns came to grief at Mayaville, Ky., aud the members of the company were left to find their way to their homes as best they ublic throughout the world.— i the story of her exploits in eated a strong interest in her lit was supposed that on her arrival th^ro she would be greeted with an ovation. _ It is probable, however, that me damaging revolution in regard to >r antecedents had proceeded her, for te was'not received at court. Bsddri, Prince Bslm-Salm was in dis grace with bia.noblo relatives in conse quence of various escapades anterior to liis alliance with this woman. He took service id the Prussian army as Major of the Fourth Regiment of Grenediers of the Prussian Royal Guard, ami the Cable brings ns tho intelligence that on the 18th instant he fell upon the battlefield of Gravelotte. Letter from How. Linton Stephens. Sparta, Ga., 6th September, 1870. CoL D. A. Alston, Secretary of the Demo cratic Executive Committee of Georgia. Peab Sib—Yonr letter was duly receiv ed, informing me that I was chosen Chair man of tho Democratic Executive Com mittee of this State, at a meeting held at - Atlanta ogAhe 1st inst., iu pursuance of a call from the President or the'Demo cratic Convention, 7 to assemble at the time aad place stated, and complete their oraanizntion by electing a Chairman ont- Me of their own number. While sending to the committee through yon my acceptance of the posi tion assigned, and my sincere acknowl edgments of tho honor conferred, I take this occasion to express my own vieus on a subject which the committee lias brought before tho public, by taking ac tion on it before their selected Chairman hail accepted his appointment, and be fore, therefore, they had a complete or ganization or even the number required by the resolution of the Convention pro viding for tho formation of an Executive Committee. The subject to which I allude is the selection of candidates in tho approaching election, with reference to their eligibil ity nuder existing so-called laws, and the certainty of their being allowed to take their seats if elected. The recommenda tion which some members of the Com mittee, in its unorganized and incom plete state, have given to the people on this subject is already receiving different interpretations. For my own part I am at a total loss to imagine how any man elected to Congress from this State conld have any “certainty” of being allowed to take liis scat without avowing his uncon ditional adhesion to the creed of the Rad ical party. If the recommendation means this it w’ill bo promptly repudiated by every tmo Democrat in the Uuited States; and I will not do the members of the Committee, who put forth the recom mendation, the injustice to believe for a single moment that they intended it to reach to this event. Nor can I believe, suppose, that they intended to advise the people to put up only such candidates as can tako the iron-dad or test oath. I remark just hsre iu passing that the 13th Amendment abohahing slavery stands upon an entirety different footing, and in nay judgement, constitutes a nu part of the Constitution. This doctrine —that the only p*—im* or disabilities for members of Congress are those to be found in tbe Constitution itself—always observed, in the better days of the government, sad violated, only by revolutionary Radicalism, will certainly l>e respected and enforced by every true Democratic Congress in the future. I think, therefore that we should se lect members of Congress without the slightest regard to so-called disabilities, except that we shoold not fail to send at least some who are Subject to them, and who have ability to show their, invalidity and enormity. They must have a hear ing on the question of their right to seats, and that question, well argued on the theatre of Congress, would shake this country from centre to ciroomferenoe. Onr strength lies in attact—in attacking the usurpation aad smn'niitiws of the parywimutf i ***&&**: whole system of government by first crushing out the States which stand as the obstacle in the way of their scheme of centralization and consequent unob structed public plunder. Our strength is in the truth, and their weakness is in their guilt Our. policy is not to shrink from the contest, but to wage an unre mitting war on tho field of truth and reason; and we must briug forward such issues as will reveal the malignity of their designs and tl guilt. Itisatimewl ly and weakness, and courage is wisdom and strength. We are invincible on the issues if tuoy are rightly made ; and let us remember that nobody ever gained a victory by running away from the battle field. These ontliued ideas may be enlarged if the Committee shall hereafter submit- address to tho people of Georgia Yours, very respectfully, Linton Stephens. BY TELEGRAPH* DAY DISPATCHES.

THE CAREER Of THE Win OT pbzfcb salmsalm. The recent death of Prince Felix Salm Balm in battle brings him and his noted wife onoo agon into that public notice which they so much delighted in. , Some tunedaring ^e Winter of a handsome lady, elegantly dressed, visited the Wfclnut street Circtw, in IWUM- phie, ana mide anaseementa tor w- atraetionin the art of equestrianism, aa practised by the divinitiea. of tho saw- inppy, aud although her husbnud did everything in his power to mako her home pleasant for her, one day without a word of explanation, without there having been the slightest quarrel or mis understanding, she suddenly disapppeor- ed. The next that was known of her she was living in fine style in Havana, and shortly after she reappeared in this city, taking apartments at a first class hotel, and evidently having at her command the strings of somebody’s plethoric purse. But, like the celebrated Grand Duchess, SHE LOVES THE MILITARY. Soon after the breaking ont of the re bellion, Miss Agnes figured conspicuous ly at Washington, and will be remem bered by many who were connected with the srmV at that time. With good looks, and active intelligence, a frank, pleasing manner, and boundless audacity, sho in gratiated herself in high quarters, and soon had several distinguished military personages in her train of admirers. Th* fascinations of spangles had been eclipsed by tbe more substantial splendors of shonlder straps and epaulets, and Miss Agnes was determined that her name should henceforth Txi identified with battlefields instead of itinerant show*. She doubtless hoped to see it figure as prominently in official bulletins as it had heretofore appeared in circus pro grammes. STILL ANOTHER HUSBAND. In 1862 her numerous military ad mirers were astonished by the extraor dinary intelligence that the Prince Felix n.i_ avT ! 2— ll TT_l The difficulty of making a recommenda tion which should present any uniform rule applicable aliko to elections for .Con gress and election for the the State Legis lature was foreseen by tho recent Demo cratic Convention, and induced the Busi ness Committee of thut body and that body itself, to forego the attempt. I roust also remark that the gentlemen who have put forth the l-eootamendolion in question, have fallen into a mistake ns to mere having been auy recommendation on this subject from tbe Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of the United States. On tho contrary, tho whole subject of eli gibility of candidates, as effected by so- called disabilities, has been left by the National Democratio organization and by the Dcmocrrtic State Convention, without auy recommendation at nil— leaving tho members^of tho party every where perfectly free to shape their action according to their own convictions of principle and policy in the different local- itiis. But since the subject has been brought before the publio in a quasi official form by members of the Commit tee with which I am officially connected, I deem it due to myself to make known iny own distinct and strong convictions os to tho course required by. sound policy and sanctioned by sound principles. As to members of the Legislator . think the people should select only those who are free from oil tbo so-called dis abilities; and this simply as a matter of policy. The Legislature will be subject to the roanipulaticn of the dominant party ot Washington; and that party will exclude from it all iiersons who maybe subject to any of tbe disabilities which they have prescribed for aud attempted to fix upon the clasi- of officers. For the Legislature we have abundant sound ma terial which is free from all disabilities prescribed for that class; and by electing a Legislature from this material, we shall either get n sound administration of the State affairs, or else drive the enemies of constitutional liberty into the perpetra tion of some outrage, aud thus pile up and Salm-Sam, then serving in the Union army, hod espoused this dashing adven turess, and that the quondam .rope dancer, after all tbe strange vicissitudes of her eventful life, was now the ac knowledged wife of an undoubted Pnnce, a gallant officer, and a scion of one of the oldest princely families of Europe. From this epoch in her new Kfe the career of THE PRINCESS 8ALM-SALM. accelerate the retribution which awaits them at the hands of an indignant poo- ple. It mnst be borne in mind that the iron-clad, or test oath, has not yet been required for tho members of the Legislature. Members of Congress stand on a diff erent footing, and with regard to them I believe a different policy is demanded.— In their case the iron-clad or test oath is required. Let not onr people persuade themselves that the party flow dominant Congress will dispense with that oath individual cases or by general repeal," except for a consideration— a price paid, or to be paid. That price will bo noth ing less than the acceptance of all their usurpations as “fixed facta,” without even a pledge against nnlimited usurpa tion in the future, I firmly believe it would be far better that our people 8liould remain forever unrepresented thou that they should be misrepresented by men who can either take that oath, or get a dispensation from it. ^ It is idle ana foolish to expect the Radical party, in the present condition of affairs, to ad mit into Congress any real representation of our people. They will ocoept only those who, would destroy oar moral power by misrepresen ting and debasing us.
