Versailles, Sept. 14.—1n the As
sembly to-day a message from President
Thiers was received, the reading of
which lasted half an hour. Thiers says
the members have well earned the sus
pension of arduous labors. He promis
es in the meantime to work incessantly
!nr the reorganization of the country,
and irsukly asks the Deputies to ascer
tain from their constituents at home
whether the country wishes for recon
s ruction, based on the glorious tradi
tion of a thousand years, or for the
abandonment ot the ship oT State to a
torrent leading to an unknown future.
In brief, whether the people want Mon
»rchy or a Republic.
The message was coolly received, and
s >me of the passages were greeted with
laughter.
The Assembly then proceeded to dis
cuss and finally adopted a bill for the
prorogation ot the session from the 17;h
of September to the 4th of December.
The main feature of the bill appoints a
committee of 25 to control the govern

Washington, Sept. 14.—Maj. Hodge,
in a letter to the Secretary of War con
fessing the defalcation, implicates a
tanking house in New York, who, it

used in speculations was Government
money.
Major Hodge, in his letter, confesses
to 1450,000. lie does not mention the
name of a New York firm which know

Official Cotton Statement. —No
cotton statements purporting to have
come from the Department of Agricul
ture during the paßt month, have been
genuine. The news in circulation, of
ten contradictory in tenor, and assumed
to be official, has had no origin in the
statistical data of that office. The re
turns of August and September include
reports from about four hundred cotton
growing counties, representing a very
largo proportion of the cotton area.
Those of August point to an average
condition of the crop almost identical
with that of the preceding report.—
The average for Alabama and Missis
sippi being the same; those of Louisi
ana, Arkansas and Tennessee being
higher; and those of other cotton States
lower. The State averages of the Sep
tember report are somewhat lower than
those of August, though the principal
depreciation occurs in the States which
yield a small proportion of the crop,
while the reduction is slight in the im
portant district represented by the States
of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi an<]
Louisiana.
The percentage of the full condition
in the first week of September, as av
eraged from all attainable data, is thus
stated: North Carolina, 82; South Caro
liua, 80; Georgia, 78; Florida, 75; Ala
bama, 80; Mississippi, 80; Louisiana, 77;
Texas, 81; Arkansas, 95; Tennessee, 96.
There are reports of injuries by the
boll worm and caterpillar, mainly in
Mississippi and Louisiana, but no evi
deuce that a general or very serious loss
from iusecis is probable. Hast is com
mon in the Atlantic States, and to some
extent on the Gulf coast. Drought has
been injurious in the Carolinas and in
Texas, though the reports of rainfall
through the South indicate a fair sup
ply of moisture, the distribution of
which has been somewhat more une
qual than usual. At one point in Geor
gia the fall in August was nearly 14
mches, ami iu parts of Florida it
amounted to 23 inches. These atmos
pheric conditions have increased the
prevalence of rust and caused the de
struction both of leaves and fruit. These
drawbacks, though greater than those
reported in September of last year, are
uot sufficiently serious to excite appre
hensions of a greatly depreciated yield.
They are chronicled each year iu some
portions of the cotton area. In the
record of last year there was "consider
able complaint of damage to the cotton
croptrom rust, worms, and unfavorable
August weather ”
These facts do uot point to an en
largement of the expectation heretofore
Indulged. If they are reliable the most
favorable season could scarcely bring a
crop exceeding 3,250,000 bates. It' the
growing season should be short, or un
favorable circumstances, the product
might be still further reduced.

The Relief Law Again before
the Supreme Court.— ln the argu
ment ot the case of Col. C. B. Wel
born, of this city, vs. lion. Warren
Akin, before the Supremo Court yes
terday, Hon. Milton A. Candler, of
Decatur, raised some new points on
the Belief Act of 1870.
Our readers will recollect that the
Supreme Court has, duiiag its present
session, held that the Belief law is
Constitutional and valid. Mr. Candler
yesterday presented these points not
heretofore made.
Ist. That the Act on its passage by
the House of Bepresentatives was not
read three times, as required by the
Constitution.
2d. That this Act has reference to
more than one subject matter —whereas
the Constitution requires that all laws
shall have reference to one and only
one subject.
3d. That the Constitution requires
that all laws, to be valid, shall be gen
eral in their operation, and that this
law is not according to this require
ment.
Mr. Candler was a Senator, and
knows something of the unlawful pro
ceedings ot the late speculating Legis
lature. We learn that he offers the
Journals of the House, besides other
evidence, that the bill was not read the
three different times as required by the
Constitution, If this be true, the Court
cannot, it would seem, frame an excuse
for sustaining the law again. Atlanta

Another Bailroad Lease. We
have learned (no doubt reliable) that
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad has
leased the Atlanta and West loint

Monday next. This is a most important
railroad movement, not only to all
personally interested, but to this city
and the public generally. The Penn
sylvania Central is the strongest corpo
ration in America. It will make the
Atlanta and West Point Railroad a
very useful and a very important
feeder in the West.— Atlanta Sun, 16fA.

THE GREAT TIDAL WAVE.
A Matter-Of-Fact View of the Wrath to
Come.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
It is a sad but imperious duty to
warn the inhabitants of all our Gulf and
Atlantic coast that it is time to begin
to prepare for tho great tidal wave,
which, according to the calculation of
a profound astronomer, is to sweep
over the whole ocean coast from Hat
teras to Bahia, to the height of fifty
feet or more, on the night of the fifth
of October, or in the morning of the
sixth. We have thirty days only to
prepare for this event, and with all the
dilligence that can be employed, our
citizens can barely hope to be ready.
On the other occasion our ancestors had
a warning of forty years; in proportion
to the extent of the expected deluge,
we have a shorter warning. The tidal
wave of Agassiz must submerge all
parts of the surface of the eastern shore
that are not more than forty feet above
the coast level at flood tide. Flordia
will become a wild waste of waters,
and every Indian not the possessor of
a canoe must take refuge in the upper
branches of the lofty cypress or the
majestic magnolia. The vessels in all
the harbors must allow additional cable
and wider swing. The occupants of
wood houses must be prepared to be
floated away in ruins.
The public will understand fully that
this tidal wave is not our fault. We
would prevent it if we could. But there
are “circumstances” over which we
have no control, such as the attraction
of the moon, the effects of rotatory
motion, the joint influence ol several
planets all operating simultaneously,
and the imperative necessity which
always compels natuial forces to con
form to the calculations and predictions
of science. If the matter had been at
an earlyer day called to our notice, in
all its serious importance, we are not
quite sure that we could have changed
the character of the impending calami
ty-
But leaving the matter ot responsi
bility to be discussed after the delluge,
our present duty is to suggest the course
to be pursued in view ol the inevitable
calamity. The flood will come suddenly
and with violence. The ignorant and
bigotted may look upon it only as an
ordinary equinoctial storm, but their
grievous mistake will be manifest to
them when they float past the third
story windows of our more substantial
edifices on the wrecks of their own
houses. A tidal wave fifty feet high
cannot be trifled with. If it reaches
a perpendicular altitude of no more
than twenty five feet, it will fluat three
fourths ol the wooden houses in the
city and country. Moreover, it will
not be a gradual, stealing, slow inva
sion of muddy water, such as some
times creeps up into the rear of the
city, day by day, and inch by inch; but
the green, salt and mighty messenger
from the ocean will come upon us all at
once, with the besom of destruction
in its wide dash and ruthless onslaught.
All our lower stories will he flooded,
and the beds, bedding, kitchen furni
ture, poultry and wood piles •>{ dwel
lings, and the stalls of tuaikuis, the
shops of grocers, the stores <>i milli
ners, the saloons of those who sell port
able fluids, and all the haunts of pleas
ure, will como to sudden ruiu. Our
streets will be turned into rußhing tor
rents, bearing sad wrecks, shingles,
weatherboards, rails, lumber, house
hold lurnituro, family rafts, cats, pigs,
goats and many other struggling swim
mere. The flood, while it lasts, will
be very rapid, and with ail allowance
for impediments, those who float upon
it will be carried along at the rato of
forty miles an hour. The telegraph
may give us a few hours’ waruiug after
the first dash of the great tidal wave
upon the Atlantic cosst, but not enough
for due preparation. Therefore the work
should begin at once. In view of the
uncertainty of all predictions, it is just
as possible that the great wave may
come a few hours sooner than tho time
fixed as a few hundred years later. Men
of science depend upon what must be,
they know what it ought to be, and if
events do not correspond with, predic
tions, their theory must not be held
accountable. It is better that a hundred
predictions should fail than that faith
in scientific calculations should be lost
or weakened.
As the great wave may result fatally
to many while threatening all, wo ven
ture the timely suggestion that those
who have not prepared for such event
by paying their debts and providing
for their'families by policies of life
insurance or otherwise, should invest a
small sum in cork jackets, gum-elastic
bags, rafts, skiffs, yawls, oars, and
other necessities for anew departure on
a newly imposed flood. The great salt
tidal wave will not be fit to drink, and
therefore they should provide fresh
water for their boats, together with such
other beverages as taste, habit or con
venience may suggest. The voyage
may be prolonged by their being
swept out to the lakes or Gulf by
the retiring wave, in which event
they might find it pleasant and
profitable to be supplied with fish
ing tackle and a few volumes of enter
taining modern literature, taking
care to select the dryest. In view of
the destruction of dwelling houses, it
would be well to bargain in advance for
others more likely to resist the flood,
but no foresight can provide against the
inevitable lack of dry kindling wood
and dry bedding.
If the distinguished scientist has ac
curately calculated the height of the
coming wave monster, the publication
of the Picayune will not be discontinued
on the 6th October. Those who call
upon us during the flood will row their
canoes to our third story windows, and
there they will be kindly received as
usual.
The following decision of the Su
preme Court, is of general interest to
planters, and we commend it to their
attention:
S. P. Salter, vs. John Howard. Case
from Houston.
Lochrane, J.
Where A sued B to recover damages
for the enticement and employment by
B, of servants, on the plantation of A,
which he alleges were hired by him for
the year 1866, and a motion was made
for a non-suit by defendant, on tho
ground that the proof failed to show a
valid and mutually binding contract
between A and the servants; the fact
being that A and such servants had en
tered into a written contract, but which
had not been signed or approved by the
Freedmen’s Bureau, though contem
plated that it should be so submitted for
approval by the parties thereto, but the
servants had gone on under the contract,
and were at work at A’s plantation, and
had been there nearly a month, and the
court ordered the non suit.
Held, That this was not error by
the court. After the emancipation of
slaves in Georgia, they were competent
to contract for their labor, and while in
the employment of one under a contract
it was illegal for any other person to
interfere and hire them, and such per
son cannot under our laws, defend him
self against the wrong, by settingup
questions arising on the contract of
such servants by A.
field, Again, where upon the trial for
enticement of servants from the em
ployment of another, the court pemitt
ed evidence of consequential damage
to go to the jury, to the effect that the
servants he first employed had provis
ions, and those he subsequently em
ployed to take their place had not, by
which he was compelled to furnish pro
visions, and making a poor crop, such
persons were unable to pay him tor the
provisions furnished, out of their share
of the crop, by which he was damaged,
that this was error, the damage the law
recognizes as legal to be recovered upon
such action, an actual damage sustain
ed by the act at the time of its commis
sion, and the expanse and true loss in
getting other servants, or injuries to the
crop by interruption of the labor there
on, or failure to obtain other labor after
faithfull effort to do so, or losses of like
character, are proper and legal for the
consideration of the jury.
Held, The Court erred in refusing a
new trial upon tbe admission of illegal
evidence, which misled the jury on the
question of damages under the facts in
this case.

The Model Firm.
The editor of the Talladega Mountain
Home, gives the following account of a
visit to the farm of Col. Isbell. We
ask our farmers to read it, and profit by
the example:
Last Friday, we were mounted on one
of the pleasantest pacers of Mr. Isbell’s
stable bound for a treat; that of seeing
an oasis in a desert of burnt up crops.
On going, we passed a load of lime
which was directed to be hurried up.
The first field greeted the eye as a field
of snow. The high, rank vegetation
from two feet to six, had received a
heavy shower of lime. “What a waste
on rich land, and ten mules getting
over a 25 acre field no faster than two
could, what foolish extravagance,” so
says the old farmer who has just ridden
through his field of taggy shucks. “But
Tom, how is it you gathered off of this
field six times as much wheat per acre
as any of the rest of ns.” Ah, you are
just explaining the work before you.
It was thorough preparation of the soil
that made the wheat. In spite of the
failure of seasens, Mr. Isbell made 12|
bushels to the acre this year; he then
sowed the field down in peas, and they
have covered the ground with their
ready growth; sprinkling this with
lime he is now turning this rich, cheap
composition over with a two horse turn
ing plow, which is immediately follow
ed by a ten-inch sub soiler, drawn by
two mules. Who will doubt the crop
planted in this field. The roots have
refuge deep down in the earth from the
scortching sun, while the porous soil
will drink in the dew of the night, or
conduct the deluge from the surface.
Deep plowing and fertilizing will insure
a crop against any seasons. Though
the com crop is almost an entire failure
on account of the extreme drought, yet
Mr. Isbell will have corn to sell. Real
izing from a thorough cultivation from
fifteen to twenty bushels per acre. It
was a relief from the monotony of re
ported failure after failure which comes
from all quarters of the Gulf States, to
ride over this large plantation and rus
tle against the big fat cars of corn, to
see the barn stored with the grain crops
already gathered and seethe large, slick
animals; living proof of thß results of
scientific farming. When will our land
be dotted with such farms?
Horrible Tragedy.— Mothers gen
erally cling to their offspring, through
all kinds of adversity, but Mrs. Finley
seems to be an exception, as appears
from the following account of a horrible
affair which occurred last week in In
diana:
Mrs. Margaret Finley, living six
miles northwest of Wabash, Indiana,
murdered three of her own children
about 9 o’clock Tuesday morning. One
babe she took by the heels and beat its
brains out on a stove. The second, a
child of eight yeitrs, ran into tho road;
she caught it after it had gone about
sixty yards and cut its throat with a
butcher’s knife. The oldest, aged nine
years, she caught and killed in the same
way. She was arrested and lodged in
jail yesterday afternoon. She is a wid
ow woman, her husband having died
last February. She seems perfectly
sane, and says she killed them in order
to get rid of thorn,
A Man Badly and Probably Fa
tally Injured by ms (Jattlk.— The
Knoxville (Tenn ) Press, relates the .'ol
lowing occurence:
Early Monday morning last, Mr.
Lewis Wayland, the Tax Collector of
Sevier county, who resides tit Trun
dle’s X Roads, went out inle the field
to salt his cattle. Uaviug been absent
from the House an unusual lengih of
time, a member of the family went out
to see about him, and found him lying
on the ground among the cattle, in a
belples condition. Dr. Ellis was call
ed and found that one of the joints of
his neck was fractured or dislocated,
producing paralysis of the whole body,
except his head, the heart and the lungs.
It was suspected that a vicious bull had
caused his injuries, and, upon the ques
tion being asked if this was not the
case, he replied that it was. When our
informant left, Mr. Wayland’s mind
was perfectly clear, but from the neck
down, he was perfectly insensible.
Indian Relics, We have been
shown a set of beads which bave been
turned up out of a grave supposed io be
that of an Indian chief, at Parachuckla,
an old trading point on the Savannah
river, sixty miles above “the city of Sa
vannah. These beads number throe
hundred and forty nine colored red,
seventeen colored black, and one largo
white bone. When strung, the red
colored beads form seventeen divisions,
each defined by a black bead, the centre
or front of the necklace being marked
by the large white bone. In this grave
of the Red Brave, for such it evidently
was, was found his tomahawk or battle
axe, a wampaum containing a number
of old English • musket balls, and the
remains of an old "Brown Bjss” or
English musket, together with other
relics. We would be glad if Mr. E. E.
Dunbar would send us a description of
all the relics which have come into his
possession. Parachuckla was an old
Indian trading post of the earliest time
in the colonial history of Georgia.
Perhaps Mr. Dunbar can tell us some
thing about it.— Augusta Chronicle.
Distinguished Compliment. —The
Augusta Constitutionalist of the 15th,
recommends Major Jo. B. Cumming as
Speaker of the House, and says:
Richmond county sets up no pre
scriptive claim to the chairs of the pre
siding officers of the Senate and House.
But she indulges an honorable pride in
remembering that she furnished for a
number of of successive years, at the
same lime from her delegation, both
presiding officers —the Uou Andrew J.
Miller, as President of the Senate, and
the Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, as Speak
er of the House. So distinguished a
compliment to intelligence, integrity,
and dignity embraced in one delegation
is unprecedented in the annals of any
State.
The editor is slightly mistaken. The
late Hon. Charles Fisher and Judge
David F. Caldwell, were Speakers, the
one of the Commons, and the other of
the Senate for several years of the
North Carolina Legislature. At the
time, they represented Rowan county.

Singular Saw. —A correspondent of
the Nashville Union, in a letter from
Cincinnati, describing articles on exhi
bition at the Grand Industrial Exhibi
tion in that city, says:
The leading object of interest in this
room is the band saw, which is nothing
more nor less than a continuous band of
elastic steel about half inch wide and of
the thickness of an ordinary saw plate.
This band passes over two wheels some
two feet in diameter and four feet apart,
which are driven by steam with im
mense rapidity. This, of course, gives
great velocity to this steel band,
one edge of which is filed into saw
teeth. It is almost incredible to see
the versatility and rapidity of the woik
performed by this saw. A block ol
wood ten inches in thickness is sawed
through in five seconds. The narrow
ness of the saw allows it to be turned
in sharp curves, so that evolutes and
involutes, cornices and mouldings of
divers aud various forms are cut with
the same ease as rectilinear lines. We
are not sufficiently acquainted with the
patents granted to tell whether this is a
new invention or not, but this we are
assured of, that no tool we have ever
seen can do so much and such varied
work in so short a time.
The Burning of Goldsboro’.
John Taylor and Miles Freeman, col

of New York detectives have been
engaged for some time in working up
this case, and that startling develop
ments will be made. We do not think
it prudent at this time to publish all
the information in our possession.—

readers, to the letter of oar Washington
City correspondent, Cato, in our issue
of to-day. We commend it to all those
who do not see clearly our way out of
all the political troubles now afflicting
the country, through the peaceful, but
all powerful remedy of the ballot box!
Well does Cato say, that “success in
the next campaign” by the Democracy
“upon the proper principle, alone, would
furnish a panacea for all our troubles.”
A majority in the next House of Repre
sentatives, would itself, do the work—
do it peacefully and Constitutionally too.
The House holds not only the “purse
strings,” as Cato says, but they also
hold the "impeachingpower lf Judges
corruptly ally themselves on the side of
usurpation and despotism, the people,
through their representatives, hold the
rod ol impeachment over them.
One of the grounds of the impeach
ment, brought against Judge Chase
(soon after the Democrats came into
power in 1800, under the lead of Jeffer
son, supported by such men as Brad
ford,) was, that he had refused to per
mit the law, on which a defendant in
prosecution relied for his justification,
to be submitted to the jury for their
judgment upon its merits.
As the friends of Liberty then held
and maintained, so we still hold and
maintain, that in all criminal prosecu
tions in this country, whether under
"Enforcement Acts” or "Ku-Klux
Bills,” the jury constitutes a part of
the Court, and have equal constitution
al right to pass upon the validity of the
law, so called, as the Judge. Juries in
this country are judges of the lain as well
as the fact.
With a Democratic House of Repre
sentatives, therefore, alone, radical
Judges may be held in awe, if no mure.
But with a majority in tfip House, the
bayonet could no longer be used In the
enforcement of either unconstitutional
acts, or “fraudulent amendments,” ex
isting only “da facto," not “ dejure " —
only by might, and not by right.
This is the doctrine of the Blair Broad
head letter, which is said to be so Revo
lutionary. But wherin is there any
thing revolutionary about it.? Is it rev
olutionary to stop the unjust use of the
sworj? And to stop it, too, “in the
manner and by the authority Constitu
tionally appointed ?” This is the whole
of the “raw head and bloody bones”
of the rveolutionary principles of the
Broadbead letter, and the Democratic
Platform of 1868.
Sensible men cannot be imposed upon
by any such stuff as this, attempted to
bo imposed upon them, as argument, by
those whose object is to get them volun
tarily to surrender their liberties.
We therefore, repeat, Cato, is right
when he says that “success" by a pop
ular condemnation of the iniquitous
usurpations of the ruling Dynasty in the
next campaign, will proves “panacea;”
and, we add euthanasia, "to all our
troubles.”
Let the people not be deceived or
alarmed at any of the Radical howls
about the revolutionary character of the
remedy proposed. A. H. S.
Wahington Correspondence Atlanta Sun.
Washington, September 8,1871.
The vary tuglemen (in this city) of
the New Dppariurists have abaudoued
the mischievous heresy promulgated by
the Pennsylvania Stale Convention,
ano even go so far as to denounce the
luriher leadership ol its New York
authors. Hit tuern again; they now
have no friends ! The dodge now is to
have no platlorm at all, but to nomi
nate candidates at a National Demo
cratic Convention, and there end. But
for Hie stupid attempt to induce oid
line Jeffersonian Democrats to indorse
the Radical 'programme , perhaps the
great party ot Jeffersonian Democracy
might have bceu satisfied with a gen
eral denunciatiug of the conduct of the
party in power. • An Opposition, ordi
narily, is not, strictly speaking, obliged
to advance a general policy , or put
iortli a platform of principles, or, in
fact, to show its hand upon oue or other
particular poiuts. Indeed, one of the
chief misfortunes attending the blunder
of the "Now Departure” consists in
the necessity which its authors have
created of denouncing the doctrines of
the schismatics in our own ranks, as
well as those ol the common enemy !
And how is this disagrettilde duty to
be avoided in a National Convention ?
Certainly by no other means than an
assured guarantee of the nomination
of candidates whose very names shall
be synonyms of loyally to the Constitu
tion, as understood and interpreted by
the fathers? Upon the mere under
standing which universally existed
prior to the fire brand thrown into the
party by the Departurists,at the Instance
ot New York sharpers, the Democracy
might very well have secured contin
ued unanimity, even by decling the
superfluous renewal of the platform of
1868; and still further, it might have
gone great lengths in the matter of the
candidates themselves, in the way of
conciliation—when feeling secure upon
the main point. But the conduct of the
Departures, so flagrantly violative of
every principle that binds the honest
masses of tbe Democracy together, has
rendered it necessary to be more partic
ular. The country must have unques
tioned evidence (no matter how got)
that hereafter there is to be “no cheat
ing round the table.” There is now a
necessity for a wide-awake eye, grow
ing out of the vile machinations of the
“Departurists,” who, though now re
pudiating their exploded departure, are
yet active (it may be well enough sus
pected) in devising new schemes of di
vision.
In after years, the surrender contem
plated by the New Departurists will be
accounted the most remarkable crime
in the whole history of politics. The
coalition of Mr. Fox and Lord North
was not accompanied by a sacrifice of
principle , properly speaking, on the
side of either. It was, therefore, to be
classed among the mere stupidities of
politicians; and look at its late! But
what is to be said of men who, after a
life-long adherence, or pretended ad
herence, to constitutional principles,
and distributive political powers, delib
erately attempt to universalize the
dogma of the omnipotence of a rotten
Congress! For at last this is the upshot
of tbe New Departure. The “amend
ments” complained of are. in fact, mere
acts of a Congress, not legally constituted ,
and to say there is no legal remedy—
not even by repeal, (for the "amend
ments” are sought to be regarded by
universal consent at such) is to claim
for that body supremo, irreparable au
thority over the lives and liberties of a
people boasting of their freedom, se
cured under the strict forms of a valid
written Constitution. Hear what Wil
liam Bradford, of Massachusetts, (who
had taken active part in the formation
of the Constitution) said upon this sub
ject, in 1798, when the Congressional
usurpations of the Alien and Sedition
Acts were discussed before the people:
“After the truths established by our
revolution —and in the blaze of political
knowledge which illuminates the close
of the 18th century, I did not expect to
hear it affirmed in a republican govern
ment, that the supreme power resides
in the Legislature. It resides only in
the people who have delegated certain
portions of it to tha different branches
of government. Properly speaking,
neither of these is superior. They are
in one senße equal and coordinate—
The Legislature is controlled by the Con■
stitution; and to the Judiciary the peo
ple have intrusted the power of inter
preting the laws. And as the Consti
tion is the supreme law, the courts in
the exercise of their functions must
necessarily determine whether the acts
of the Legislature interfere with its pro
visions.”
But, it is said, the partisan construc
tion of the present Supreme Court pre
cludes relief from that quarter. Be it
so. Is not, at least, the popular
branch of Congress yet within reach of
the people—and does not that body hold
the purse string? Even in England the
: House of Commons has legally, time
and again, corrected the abuses and
usurpations of the Government by with
holding supplies.
In truth there is no want of a remedy
if the people of the country shall deter
mine to apply a prover one. Success, in
the next campaign, upon the proper
principle alone, would furnish a pana
cea for all our troubles. If, on the
other hand, success could be attained on
minor issues, with the main evil ignored,
defeat would be preferable. As the
famous ancient physician, Philotimus,
said to one who presented him his fin
ger to dress, and who (he perceived
both by his complexion and his breath)
had an ulcer in his lungs, "Friend,”
said he, "this is not a time for you to be
paring your nails!” Cato.
From the Richmond Dispatch,
Tlie Trne Portrait of Butler.
We forgive the New York Tribune
tor many of its wrongs towards us for
the following capital Portrait of Butler.
It is enough to kill him. We look for
ward hopefully to his political death
upon the painting of this truthful por
trait. Great humbugs die of unexpect
ed causes. A trifling occurrence some
times ends a mania that has crazed a
whole people. Even great men wilt
and sink below the line of public favor
by a single remark. “A hasty plate of
soup” killed Gen. Winfield (not Wing
field) Scott, and the moms multicaulis
fever was cured by a bull breaking into
a Pennsylvania multicaulis field and
eating up five hundred dollars' worth of
trees in one night. A local editor who
announced the event said that the bull
would begin to spin in a few days. But
people put no faith in it. They said
there was no übb in pursuing such a de
lusion. If a bull could eat up five hun
dred dollars’ worth of multicaulis in one
night, there was an end to it sot them;
and, indeed, that event marked the
bursting of the multicaulis bubble.
Now, the Tribune bull has broken
into Butler’s field, and has eaten up the
buds of his bursting and blowing fame,
sud of course lie perishes radically—he
is uprooted. See the following capital
picture of the "Great American Gob
bler:”
“The turkey gobbler is an instructive
study. He is an animal of the most
diverse qualities. Magnificent as he is
in life, he is only useful after death.
He seems to be made for war, but he has
a chicken heart. In appearance, when
he spreads jus tail, ruffles his feathers,
and inflames his wattles, there is no
animal so fierce; his aspect is grandly
martial; but at the first prick he col
lapses like a bladder; a shot will make
him drop his tail and sneak away with
blanched visage. He is cruel and
overbearing; he has been known to kill
his young, and he attacks the weak
with rapacity; he delights to pursue
timid women and little children; but
he is an arrant coward, and instantly
abates his swelling pomposity at the
sight of a stick in the hands of 1 a
resolute man —until he is out of the
reach of it. One of the most character
istic acts of tho gobbler is his peculiar
strut up and down tho platform, swell
ing up and lifting his legs in a sort of
jerking consonance with the pride with
in, when he has attracted the attention
of spectators by an uncommon gobble.
At such moments he is simply magnifi
cent. He is the most courageous bird
living, when there is no danger. If we
could imagine him going to war, ho
would lead a regiment with the most
striking pomposity and martial bearing
until be heard a gun, when he would
instantly turn tail and seek his camp,
where his followers would find him
vaporing before his tent, as. large as
ever, daring the enemy to come on.—
Physical courage is not prominent in
the gobbler, notwithstanding his war
like aspect. For these reasons, and be
cause he is (he most ludicrous of the
feathered tiibe, wo are thankful that the
country did not adopt Franklin’s sug
gestion and make the gobbler our na
tional emblem. It would be as ridicu
lous as it would to have the face of Gen.
Benjamin Franklin Butler on our es
cutcheon and coin.”
Thus introducing the gobbler, the
Tribune proceeds to discu»s him more
particularly. He is ambitious to be
come Governor of Massachusetts. The
people of that State have aright to take
him if they will. He has, according to
his own statement, all the qualities of
“integrity, modesty, courage, truthful
ness, honor,” “If,” says the Tribune,
“Massachusetts therefore takes him at
his word, they will have both a swel
ling and a martial leader, who diaplays
all their virtues in his own person.
This is cruel.
The critic proceeds to consider the
claims of Butler. He “aspires to be
thought great rather than good.” Next
he is "a martyr.” Then, as a dema
gogue,” he wants the nomination. ‘'He
is the brother of the laborer;” "he is
the dry, bosom lriend of the total
abstinence man;” “he is more nearlya
woman than the female suffragists
themselves.” He is the friend of the
negro, for he says : “If I am not sus
tained in more cabins by the prayers of
the colored men than any other com
mander in the army, I will never appear
in public again.” “Yet the saddest
part” of all this, says the Tribune “is
the people see General "trier behind
all these professions.” ' ,':icdship to
the colored man is a good r ply to all
the charges of the General' & enemies,”
which point the Tribune illustrates
thus :
“Here's yer nice roa6t chick’n,”
cried an aged colored man, as the cars
stopped at a Virginia railway station,
[Ashland.] “Here’s yer roast chick’n
'ntaters, all nice and hot,” holding his
plate aloft and walking the platform.”
‘Where did you get that chicken,Uncle?’
asks a passenger. Uncle looks at the
intruder sharply, and then turns away,
crying, “Here’s yer nice roast chick’n,
genti’m’n, all hot; needn’t go in de
house fordat.” “Where did you get
that chick’n ?” repeats the inquisitive
passenger. “Look a-yer,” says Uncle,
speaking privately, “is you from de
Norf?” “Yes.” "Is you a friend of de
cullud man?” “I hope I am.” “Den
don’t you nebber ask me whar I gotdat
chick’n. Here’s yer nice roast chick’n
all hot.”
Finally, concludes the Tribune, if the
people of Massachusetts don’t take him,
it will be thier fault; “but,” it suggests,
“cold weather is approaching, and if
they do take him, they should reflect
how it will be possible to enjoy a real
thanksgiving and not kill off their
turkey gobblers.”
If Butler survives this, he is “im
mortal.”
Gloomy Cotton Prospects. —We
saw, yesterday evening, in the cotton
warehouse of Messrs. Saulsbury, Res»
pess & Go., of this city, about a dozen
cotton bolls, which Mr. Saulsbury had
brought in Irom a tour oi crop observa
tions in Southwestern Georgia during
the last week. The result of the trip
satisfies Mr. B. that tne cotton crop of
Georgia will fall short fully one half
of what it was last year, ami these cot
ton bolls give painlul proof of that fact.
The effects of the continued cloudy and
wet weather upon the bolls is disas
trous. They are small, black aud rot
ting. Some of them are partially open
ed, but for want of warm sunshine to
fully develop them, they have lost their
fructifying properties and vitality. It
is Mr. S.’s intention to Bend these bolls,
with a statement of his observations of
the crop in Southwestern Georgia, to
the Cotton Exchange in New York,
and thence to Liverpool. In propor
tion to the area of land in cotton which
he saw during the trip,Mr. S. says he is
sure that a poorer cotton crop was never
raised in the State. The stand is short
fully one fourth of an average, and
much of what cotton that has matured,
is being lost by the almost continuous
rains of the last week, which have beat
en the open cotton to the ground, filled
it with dirt and trash, and kept the
pickers out of the fields.— Macon Tel.
Henry Ward Beecher has written
this: “I never saw anybody do any
thing that I did not watch him and see
how he did it, for there is no telling but
that some time I might have to do it
myself. I was going across a prairie
once; my horse began to limp. Luckily
I came across a blacksmith’s shop, but
the smith was not at home. I asked the
woman of the house if she would allow
me to start a fire and make a shoe. She
said I might if I knew how. So 1
started a fire and heated the shoe red
hot and turned it to fit my horse’s foot,
pared the hoof and turned the points of
the nails oat cunningly, as I had seen
the blacksmith do, so that in driving
into the hoof they should not go into
the quick, and shod the horse. At the
next place I went straight to a black
smith and told him to put it on prop
erly. He looked at the horse’s foot,
and paid me the greatest compliment I
ever received in my life. He told me
if I put on that shoe, I had better fol
low blacksmithing all my life. Now I
never should have known how to do this
if I had not looked on and seen others
do it.”

From the Mobile Register.
Seuator Thurman's Speech.
Here is the authorized report of a
passage in Mr. Thurman’s speech at
Columbus, Ohio, upon the subject ofThe
amendments :
“Now, my friends, it has been eom
mon for the Republican party of this
country to say that the Democrats have
taken a ‘New Departure,’ and that
‘New Departure,’ they allege, consists
in saying that we have been wrong and
the Republicans have been right. 1 say
there has never been any such confes
sion as that. We are as much opposed
to what; has been done as when we gave
our votes against it. Why, if I should
see a man strike another in an unlawful
and brutal manner, in the street, throt
tle him and knock him down, and tres
pass upon his rights, and I should see
his wounds and bruises, and see him
bleeding, I should be compelled to say
that he was down and bleeding, but
who would call that a confession that
the villain who had outraged him had
done what was proper? [Laughter.]
So when these men throttle ihe Consti
tution and ruined the peace of the coun
try—when they made the South almost
as ruinous as in the midst of war—we
remonstrated and opposed them; and
now because we cannot deny that they
have done it, because we cauuot deny
that the thing has been accomplished,
because we are compelled to admit the
fact that the reconstruction laws have
been executed and that the amendments
to the constitution have fastened upon
us, we are told, forsooth, that wo admit
that the Radicals were right and we
were wrong. That’s logic tor you.”
This statement is declared by the
Montgomery Adveatiser to be an admis
sion of the “binding force of all the
amendments,” and thereupon it is
claimed that Mr. Thurman is in full ac
cord with the Departurists.
Is this midsummer madness, or is it
a mere trifling with terms and phrases?
We have too much respect lor our con
temporary to charge it with either, and
yet the alternative explanation is hard
to find.
Everybody knows that ilie amend
ments are “fastened upon us,” but does
it follow that they are so fastened for
ever, and that no effort must be ruaae to
unfasten them ? We all know and ad
mit that we are !‘throttled,” struck
down, bruised and“bleeding;’’ but doeß
it follow that we are to stay down, and
are precluded from trying to staunch
the blood or heal tho bruises ?
The very point at issue is that of an
admission of the rightlulnoss—not
merely the moral, but the legal, consti
tutional rightfulness—of the amend
ments. On this point, Mr. Thurman,
according to our understanding of his
remarks, expressed himself very decid
edly. If unconstitutionally and illegal
ly incorporated into the organic law,
they are indeed “fastened upon us” by
the pressure of authority, but yet they
are legally “null and void,” and liable
to be so declared whenever the people
will it. That is all wo ask.
But if we are agreed, or so nearly
agreed, why keep up tho contention ?
Why continue to fan this firebrand so
unnecessarily flung into the conserva
tive ranks? You cannot say we did it.
We have asked no “new” declaration
of principles in any shape. If your
“New Departure”ia so precious a thing
that you cannot afford to lose it; hug it
to your heart’s content, as a private
opinion to which you have a perfect
right, but do not insist on thrusting it
into the arms of others, to whose prin
ciples—or prejudices, if you will—it is
irreconcilably repugnant.
The English Abbitkator. The
appointment of Sir Alexander Cock
burn, Lord Chief Justice of England,
as the British arbitrator on the Alabama
claims, is undoubtedly one of the most
discriminating that could have been
made. The Chief Justice is in many
respects a man of mark, ho is the most
clear-headed lawyer, one of the politest
scholars, one of the most telling ora:
tors, and one of the most genial gentle
men in England. It is seldom that a
judge can find time to cultivate accom
plishments so immediately connected
with his official duties; but Sir Alexan
der Cockburn, presiding in the princi
pal common law court of the kingdom,
and bringing to his duties there not
only remarkable acumen and apt learn
ing, but an industry which is the admi
ration of the wholo bar, is also one of
the greatest of modern international
lawyers, and probably no mau in Eng
land is more learned in that branch of
jurisprudence which will be discussed
at the arbitration. He attained his
high dignity at a very early age, and
has yearly added to his reputation as a
great Judge. When in the House of
Commons he was an earnest liberal,
and it is well known in England that
his opinions and sympathies are very
decidedly with the progressive party
and forces of the age. It is fortunate
for both countiies that such au appoint
ment should have been made; and it is
fortunate that Mr. Adams will find in
his English opponent a person of the
same high calibre as himself.— Boston

A Professor Hurt. —When Ben.
Butler was shystering in his native town
in Massachusetts many years ago—it
was just at that era in tno fine arts when
murder was installed by a universal
recognition of Professor Parkman’s ex
periment on the person of Dr. Webster
—he had a witness under examination
in some one-horse court, who was at a
loss for the handle to some distinguished
name, and stammered considerably in
his attempts to recall the designation,
when Butler interposing said, “You
meau to say he is a professor?” “Yes,
sir,” said the witness. “Exactly,” re
sponded Ben; “we hang them down in
Boston.”
The school of Professorships is dis
creted into such remote lines and em
braces a series of callings so vast, and
accomplishments so diverse, that very
little has come to be indicated by the
name; and old Ben’s contempt for Pro
fessorships was not unreasonable at a
time when he had not himself aspired
to fame and taken a high fall in that
direction. Professors treat bunions,
tell fortunes, ride, dance and sing them
selves into preceptorships, and finally
are rope-walkers. One of the last men
tioned, a Professor Dehun, announced
recently in Cleveland, Ohio, that he
would walk a rope from the Opera
House to a building across the street, at
p. m. While performing this feat
the rope parted with a snap, and the un
fortunate man whirled over and over,
and. fell upon the ground with a heavy
thud, injuring him, perhaps, fatally.—

Napoleon 111. and His Fete Day.
—The 15th day of August was quietly
celebrated at Ghiselhurst. Some rela
tives of the ex Emperor, several friends
and some persons formerly attached to
the court had arrived from France, to
convey to Napoleon the expression of
their regrets, their homage and their
devotion. At 11 o’clock High Mass
was celebrated in the church of Chisel
hurst. At 2 o’clock a lunch, after the
English fashion, was offered to all who
had come to Camden House to offer
their congratulations upon the fete day.
Napoleon received from France upon
this occasion a great number of letters
and flowers. Two bouquets profoundly
affected him. One of gigantic dimen
sions was the result of a subscription
opened at Paris among the merchants,
traders and workmen. It was accom
panied by a magnificent album, which
contained a very sympathetic address,
with several hundred signatures. The
other bouquet was offered by the officers
of the Imperial Guard. The same
evening most of the visitors took their
departure and Chieelhurst resumed its
habitual repose.
