TEARS. BY FATHER RYAN. Tear? that trickle down our eves, They do not fall to earth and dry; 1 Ucy soar like angels to the skies. And, like angels, cannot die. > or oh ! our Immortality Sounds through each veur—sounds in eacli sigh. What waves of tears verge o’er the deep Os sorrows in our restless souls ! Ami they are strong, not weak, who weep Th«e drops, from out the sea that rolls it-'K, their hearts forever more; \\ ithin a depth—without a shore. Hat oh, the tears that are not wept— The tears that never outward tall— The tear? that grief for years has kept Within us—they are best of all— The tears our eves shall never know Are deeper than the tears that flow .' Kaeh night, upon earth’s flowers below. The dew comes down from darkest skit ?; And everv night our tears of woe Go up. like dews, to Paradise; To keep in bloom, and make more fair The flowers of crowns we yet shall wear. For ah 1 the surest way to God Is up the lonely stream of tcar.- That flow, when bending ’ncath His rod, And HU the tide of our past years. On laughter’s billows hearts are tossed On waves of tears no heart is lost. Flow on, ye tears: and hoar me home: Flow on, ye waves of deeper woe ! Flow on, ye tears, that are but foam. Os deeper waves that will not flow : A little while—l reach the shore Where toars flow not—forever rnoro. A COLUMN oFsTRAGGLERS. Clergymen, like brakemeu, do a good deal of coupling. What class of women are apt to give tone to society ? The belles. The* mosquito, as a public singer, draws well, but never gives satisfaction. A Texas negro jury sentenced a crimi nal to be “hung by the head until dead.” A young lady wrote to a friend : “Miss Smith is staying with us. We went out •sailing yesterday. 1 didn't know there was so much in her.” A man in an ecstatic mood, exclaimed, “Woman is the primeval cause of hapi nersF.when a bystander remarked; “No doubt, for she is the prime eril herself.” “Prisoner, why did you follow this man, and beat and kick him so'shamo fully?” “I am sorry, your honor ; I was a little drunk, and thought that it. was my wife.” “Are the pictures which you brought from Italy all landscapes?” said an artist one day to Mrs. Boffin. “Lor’ bless you, no,” replied the indignant lady, “they’re ile pain tin’s.” Progressive teacher to a pupil of the pe riod: “Sary Jane Hooker, just take that chewing gum right out of your mouth. Little girls who chew gum in school never expect to become President of the United States.” A lady was examining an applicant for the office of “maid-of-all-work,” when she interrogated her as follows; “Well, Mary, can you scour tin-ware with alacri ty ?” “No, ma’am, I always scour them with sand.” A lady seeing among the religious no tices that a certain clergyman would preach “1». V.”said at oueo that she would go and hear him, presuming, as she did, that the subject of the discourse was “Dol ly Vardens.” “Why, Emily, how do you do?” “I am very well, Julia. I celebrated my wooden wedding last week.” “Why. I didn’t know you were married.” “How did you celebrate it?” “By marrying a blockhead.” Angelina, my angel, can you tell me why your lovely eyes are like friends sep erated by distant climes?” “No, Augus tus, I can’t. Tell mo, oh! toll mo why they’re are thus.” “Because they corres pond, but never meet.” More pert than pleasant.—Husband.— “I hope you have no objection to my get ting weighed ?” “Certainly not, my dear; but why ask the question?” “Only to see, my love, if you would allow me to have my own weigh for once.” A minister made an interminable call upon n lady of his acquaintance. Her lit tle daughter, who was present, grew very weary of his conversation, and at last whispered in an audible key: “Didn’t he bring his amen with him, mamma?” The Harvard advooate has refused the publication of a humorous poem of two hundred lines, beginning: An elephant sat in a swallow’s nest. Drinking a cup of ton, Anil watching a delicate hen that sang From the top of a neighboring tree. A Boston girl being asked if she had not once been engaged to a “party by the name of Jackson,” who was at the time a Harvard student, languidly replied, “I remember the circumstance perfectly, but I am not certain about the name.” Hero is a joko for country boys: Two Irishmen once saw a red-headed wood pecker peck away at an old stump. “Mur ther, Jemmy!” exclaimed one of them to his compatriot, “just look at yon bur-red; he’s hommered his head till it’s all ablav din! ” “I say, Buz, where do dat comet rise at?” “it rises in de forty-six meridian ob do frigid zadiac, and laid down in do comic almanack.” “Well, where does it set, Baz?” “Sot, yoU black fool! It don’t set nowhere. When it gets tired of shin ing it goes into its hole." A little boy of six summers was sent one morning to call his grandfather to breakfast. The old gentleman was in the habit of snoring very hard, and as the boy pushed open the door, ho was frightoiieil at the unusual noise. Ho rushed back to his mother, exclaiming, “Ma, grandpa’ ! been barking at me!” The question at a country tea-party turning on the impropriety of mixing up cake with a pinch of snuff in the lingers, a lad remarked that he had seen his mother do it, and never drop a bit of snuff. “Why, my son,” said the lady, “how can you lie so?” "Well, mother,” lie replied, “may be you did drop just a little.” An old fisherman was caught in his dugout on the Broad l’otomac by a furious gule. He paddled to shore as hard as he could, scared to death, paddled and pray ed for mercy—prayed for mercy and pad died until his canoe struck the beach. Then he turned to the gale, shook his list, and cried: “Blow and be d— and! Who’s afraid of you. ” A locul minister, in announing a lecture by an itinerant brother, paid the following j high compliment to the lecturer’s great eloquence: “I have often hoard the most famous I men in America; but there are times when j the flame of his pathos licks the everlast- 1 itig hills with a roar that moves your soul ! to the depths fathomed by few other men.” "Boss, that’s a fine horse you have ! there; how much is he worth?” “Three ! hundred and fity dollars.” “Not so much as that:” “Yes, every cent of it, and j another fifty on top of it.” “Are you f sure?’ “Yes, I’d swear to it.” “All right. "\\ hat are you so inquisitive for? ; "Merely for assessing purposes. I am ; assessor for this ward, and only wanted to I know at what you rated your nag." “Mr. James,” said a clergyman on a pastoral visit, “I don't see you and Mrs. James at church Sundays evenings." j “Well, no,” replied Mr. James, “mv I wife has to stay at home to take care of the children, and its it comes rather hard 1 on her, I stay to keep her company." "Why, how is that ? Don't you keep any ] servants?” “O, yes, we keep two, but they don't allow us any privileges.” The Cleveland Leader says that n gen-1 tleman in that city who prides himself on j his personal appearance, lately sought to remove a grease spot from his coat-tail by the free use of benzine, and then stood close to the stove that the odor might evaporate more quickly. He was quite 1 correct in his theory, but unfortunate in practice, for he was soon turning cart! wheels through the window, and thore 1 was not enough coat-tail left to make a i "weskit for a doll-baby. He does not j ride horseback now, and sleeps on all' fours like a mule. A lawyer, who procured the acquittal of a man who was under arrest for assauli and battery, was waited upon the next dav by his client, and most gratefully thanked for his services. “What can I do for you?” asked the client. “Nothing,” replied the lawver. “Don’t you want an office? 1 can control any number of votes.” “I have , no political aspirations," replied the law yer. “But ain't there some man you want to have licked?" rejoined the client. The ! poor lawyer has not yet recovered from this overpowering exhibition of gratitude, j "I wish you would give me my marriage certificate," said a man the other day to a clergyman who had married him about I a year since. “How long ago was it?" ! inquired the clergyman who does a large business in that line, and did not recollect, the stranger. “I don’t know,” was the j answer. “Can you not tell whether it three months or three years?” was the next inquiiy. “Beally,” said this model husband, “I havo had so many things to attend to that I have forgotten all about it! ” A short search of his records enabled the clergyman to comply with his request.

Montgomery, J: 1, That clause of the third puragngb of the first section of Article 2 of the Goa btitution of Georgia, which provides that “No session of the General Assembly, af ter the eeeond tin dirt this Constitution, shall continue longer a forty days, un less prolonged by a yo u of two-thirds of each branch thereof,” applies only to the General Assembly whi li v..m to meet af ter the State government ’-.id Been fully reconstructed under the so.railed recon struction Acts of Congress, not to the Legislature of the provisional government organized under those Ait -. •J. The Supreme Court of the I cited Staten have said, in While vs. Hart. e‘ a!., infra, “the action of 1 ongre/s upon the subject • (the reconstruction measures) cannot be inquired into. The cr.se i-> clearly one in which the judicial is bound to follow the- action of the political depart ment of ihe government, and is conclud ed by it." While compelled to no-opt, this dogma as law, and as perhaps true, in a limited degree, so far as facts accomplished are concerned, as a general proposition i dissent from and protest against it. 8. Under the recent dec: ion of the .Su preme Court of the United States in the case of William White v-i. John 11. Hart, nud Win. D. Davi-, decided December term, 1871, v, e are compelled to hold, that the reconstructed provisional government of Georgia did not expire before June 12, 1870, when Congress enacted that the State of Georgia having complied with the reconstruction uctr, and the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Cousti tution of the United Statei having been yatilied in good faith by a legal Legisla ture ox said State, it is hereby declared that the State of < leorgia is entitled to representation in the Congress of the United States.” Upon the admission of her Senators and Representatives under that act, says the court, "the condonation by the national government became com plete.” The conclusion to our minds is inevitable, that up to the passage of that act, at least, the provisional government provided for by the act. of March 2, 18(17, still existed. 1. It follows that the session of the Legislature of 1870, which passed the Act of October loth, of that year was not a session of the General Assembly, after the second under the Constitution in the sense in which the Convention of 1808, used these words. Ilcnco the act under review is not invalid because passed by the Legislature mote than forty days after the commencement of its session. 5. It is at least doubtful whether the first four sections of the Belief Act of Oc tober loth, 1870, prospective in their op erations as sound tides of construction re quire then) to be understood, so fur im pair the remedy of contracts made prior to June, 1865, as to be unconstitutional under the tenth section of the first Article of the Oonstituliou ot the United States. It is therefore the duty of the court to refuse to declare them unconstitu tional. G. The first four sections of the Belief Act of October 18, 1870, must be read in the light of tho title to that .Act, and in so far as they are not valiant from it, they do not violate the sth paragraph of the 4th section of article ;J of tho Constitu tion of Georgia, and to that extent the court should give them effect. There fore in all suits pending at the time of the passage of the Act, for debts founded on contracts made prior to June, 18G5, the taxes must have been paid, and the affi davit tiled within six months after the Act passed ; ancl in all swim commenced after its passage, at the lime of filing the writ, on pain of having tho case dismissed on failure to do so. 7. If Congress, or a State Legislature pass a law, within the general scope of their constitutional power, the courts can not pronounce it void merely because, in their judgment, it is contrary to tho prin ciples of natural justice. Colder vs. Bull, 8, Dallas Stiff. 8. A bill of interpleader being filed by an administrator against tiro creditors of the estate represented by him, whose claims are antagonistic, nud some of the claims being founded on contracts entered into before June, 18(15, it is not necessary for creditors bolding such claims to file an affidavit of the payment of taxes with their answers, their claims having been brought into court by the administrator and not by themselves. On the trial of the case, however, they should make it clearly ap pear that the taxes have beeu paid to en title them to a decree for the payment of the claims. ff. Subscriptions to the stock of the Ma con and Augusta liailroad Company, mado before Juno, 18G5, stand upon the same footing with other debts contracted before that date; and in suits against the sub scribers for the amount of tbeir subscrip tion, tho payment of faxes and the filing of the affidavit, as required by the Belief Act of 1870, is necessary. Judgment in the case of The Macon and Augusta liailroad Company vs. Frank L. Little, Executor, affirmed. Judgment reversed iu the ease of Jack son B. Johnson, Administrator vs. 11. Stole.s Sayre on the ground that tho cred itors holding claims founded on contracts made before June, 1805, should havo proved payment of luxes on those claims to entitle them to a decree for tho pay ment of the claims. Linton Stephens, George F. Fierce, B. H. liill, H. L. Benning, for plaintiff' in error. C. \V. Dußose, B. Toombs, F. L. Little, contra. McOay, J., concurring. The Act of October 15, 187(1, denying tho aid of the couits for the collection of certain debts until the taxes thereon have been paid, is not iu violation of section 10, paragraph 1 of the Constitution of the United States. Said act is the legitimate exercise of the power inherent in the State to enforce upon defaulters the pay ment of the taxes due, and if it at all effects contracts botween individuals it is only incidentally, by reason of the unlaw ful, wilful, and persistent refusal of the holder of a debt to comply with his reason able and proper duty to the public. Whether an Act of the session of the i General Assembly of 1870, after forty days from its commencement, is void or i not, is not a question of whether the Act, is, as to its provisions, or as to its title, or as to the mode iu which it was introduced and read and voted upon, contrary to the Constitution, but a question of whether the Legislature, at the time of its passage, was a legislative body at all—whether it had any title to its official existence as a General Assembly. Whilst it is not only the right but the imperative duty of the judiciary to de clare legislative acts iu violation of the Constitution void, it is not within the sphere of the judiciary to inquire if the Legislature, at the time of the passing of an act, is properly organized or properly in session under the Constitution and laws. The Legislature is itself, iu the nature of things, the proper judge of such questions, and is responsible to its conscience and to the people only for the proper exercise of this judgment. Ibo General Assembly of this State, actually in session and engaged in tho performance of legislative duties, ought at least to receive from the courts tho consideration they grant to any Executive officer, to wit: AVhilst they will freely inquire into tho regularity and legality of any particular act, they will not, in so doing, pass upon the authority of the officer to act at ail. The judiciary has no power, by quo warranto or other direct proceeding, to pass upon the authority of either the Govornof or the Legislature to exercise the functions of their several depart ments ; and if it may not do so by direct proceeding, it eannot do so indirectly by making the validity of the acts of either to depend upon their authority at the timo of the act to exercise their respective functions. It is not in tho power of this court, by any decision it may make, to declare the acm of the sossiou of the Legislature of 18 : 0, after forty days from its commence ruent, void, since the members thereof do all of them hold their commissions and this court is now in session by virtue and in consequence of acts passed by said session after the forty days. If these acts be void, this court is illegal, its members are only private citizens, and in the very act of giving its judgment it renounces jurisdiction over the subject, and declares its decision to be only the opinion of three citizens clothed with no legal authority to act as a court. The session of the General Assembly of 1870 was not a session of the General Assembly after the second under the present Constitution in the sense of those words as used in article 3, section o, of the Constitution of IS6S, and its sessions were legal after the forty days without any vote of two-thirds prolonging the same. * Warner, C. J., dissenting. This was an action brought by the plain tiff against the defendant on the contract of his testator as a subscriber for fifteen shares of the capital stock of the Macon and Augusta Kailroad company, to recov er the amount doe for his unpaid stock. On the trial the defendant made a motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s action, on the ground that it was a debt existiug prior to the first of June, 1865, and that no affi davit had been filed that all legal taxes due thereon had been paid as required by the Act of 18th October, 1870. The court dismissed the plaintiff's action, to which ruling of the court the plaintiff excepted. The Act of 18th October, lc7o, so lar as it applied to the plaintiff’s debt, is in vio lation of the 10th section of the Ist at tide of tho constitution of the United States, and is therefore void. That Act is also void as having been passed in violation of the express provisions of the constitu tion of the State of Georgia. The consti tution of 1868 declares that “No session of the General Assembly, after the second, under this constitution, shall continue longer than forty days, mdesss prolonged by a vote of two-thirds of each branch thereof. This .Act was passed at the third session of the General Assembly un der the constitution of 18G8, more than forty days after the comoienceme .t of the third session, which wss not prolonged by a vote of two-thirds of each brauch thereof, and is, therefore, null and void as a law of this [Slate. My reasons for this judgment were fully expressed in my dissenting opinion in the case of Goriuly, Ordinary, vs. Taylor, (not yet reported), and will not bo again repeated. All legislative enactments, which are to be binding upon the people as laws, must be enacted in pursuance of the re quirements of the Constitution, and if not, whenever they interfere with tho rights of tho citizen, such citizen may ap peal to the courts and have them declared void; for the Constitution of 18G8 ex pressly declares that “Legislative acts, in violation of this Constitution, or tho Con stitution of the United States, are void, and the judiciary shall so declare them.” If the courts may inquire iolo the valid ity of legislative acts passed by the Gen eral Assembly, when sitting within tho time prescribed by the Constitution,much more may they inquire into the validity of pretended legislative acts which were passed at a lime prohibited by the Consti tution, because there is no legal presump tion iu favor of the validity of legislative enactments passed at a time expressly prohibited by the Constitution, although they may have the form ana color of laws upon the face thereof, the more especially when it is apparent that such pretended laws were intended to deprive the honest people of the State of their legal and just rights to their property. I, therefore, dis sent from the judgment of the court in this case, and in case of Johnson, admin istrator, vs. Sayre et al. Visvvs of a Southern Democrat. The Hon. John Forsyth, who represents the State of Alabama in the National Democratic Committee, said that, previ ous to starting for New York for the pur pose of attending the session of the Com mittee, he was strongly urged to accept the action of the Cincinnati Convention, and that since his arrival in this city he has received a great number of dispatches to the same effect. The sentiment of the Committee was unanimous in favor of Greeley as against Grant, and it was remarked that the in tensity and extent of the feeling evinced in the South in favor of Mr. Greeley was surprising. Mr. Forsyth said that in view of the condition to which the people of the South have been reduced, and the mortification and degradation to which they have been subjected, that they are ready “to clutch at straws,” and that the first and only opportunity presented them for escape from such a position and for restoration to civil rights, is given in the Cincinnati nominations. Ho claimed that the Democratic party has sufficient solid ity in the South to support its own candi date if it could be assured of Northern cooperation and a possible success, but that the same feeling is evinced which appears to prevail in the National Com mittee, namely, a lack of confidence near ly approaching cowardice. The date for the meeting of the Democratic Conven tion was deferred for the purpose of awaiting action of the Philadelphia Con vention, and for ascertaining the subse quent drift of public sentiment upon the nominations. Tho question was mooted in the Com miltoo whether the nominations at Cincin nati wore not the result of an adroit po litical movement of Senator Fenton’s into which he had tricked Mr. Greeley, for the purpose of forcing the issue with the Philadelphia Convention, and compelling it to drop Grant and take up someone who Mould favor tho interests of Fouton and his followers. It Mas urged in oppo sition to this that Mr. Greeley and his friends cannot go backward, but that they are so situated that they are cut off from affiliation with Grant or any other possible nominee at Philadelphia, and that should they aid iu tho election of the Philadel phia nominees, they would still be trodden upon. Mr. Forsyth says that the Cincin nati Convention failod to rocognize the Democratic party, from which so much help is expected, and it did not come up to tho marie which was set at the incep tion of the movement. He believes that the sentiment of the mass of the people, and indeed of the Republican party,is op posed to Grant and his re-election, Mr. Forsyth claims that the Cincinnati plat form is a return to Democratic doctrine, and that it includes all the old ideas of tho party, excepting, of course, that por tion of it relative to the constitutional amendments. He has doubts of Gon. Grant’s re-election even in the contingen cy of a Democratic nomination and the consequent withdrawal of the Cincinnati candidates, and personalty favors a Dem ocratic candidate, believing that now is his party’s opportunity and that the De mocracy hold tho trump card, and that if they enter upon the campaign boldly and with confidence they will rally all the op ponents of tho Administration to the sup port of their ticket, and thus preserve the unity of their party. Gen. AY. B. Bate, the member of the Democratic National Committee from Tennessee, received a dispatch from the editor of the Memphis Appeal and other Tennesseeans urging acquiescence in the Cincinnati nominations in the following terms: We want no National Democratio Con vention. This is the universal sentiment of West Tennessee. —W. Y. Tribune. Mosey at the White House. —A special from Washington to the Philadelphia Press givos the following, under the head of “A Pleasant Interview," of a number of dis tinguished personages at the White House on Wednesday: Col. J. S. Mosby, cx-Confederato ran ger, called upon the President, in compa ny with Senator Lewis, of Virginia, and was kindly received. They talked for 1 some time upon public affairs, and during the interview Col. J. W. Forney, of Phila delphia, came in to pay his respects to the President. He was, of course, introduced to Col. Mosby. The latter had his little son with him, to whom he introduced Col. Forney, saying: “Here is the man who has abused your father in his newspaper;” to which Col. Forney responded, "Not half as much as you deserve.” “Well,” said Mosby, “what are you go ing to do about the Cincinnati convention. ” To which Col. Forney replied: “I am going to stand by the old flag and follow the old leader, Gen. Grant. We shall settle our difficulties in Pennsylvania, if there is any wisdom in our party lead ers. and so help to secure a good editor for the New York Tribune and a good President for the country. ” “Then,” said Mosby, turning to Grant, “I will never vote for Horace Greeley. I will stump Virginia against him. I will undoubtedly support a Democratic candi date if my party nominates one, and if it don't I will vote for President Grant.' The President was very much pleased with the interview, and after Mosby left, remarked that “ho looked like a man who could ride a horse boldly and freely." Col. Forney says. “Mosby is undoubt edly a good speaker, as he was a good tighter. Ilisbearing is easy and cool.” Before leaving the President Mosby said : "i'ou Bepublicans ought to antici pate Greeley in his forthcoming letter of acceptance by proclaiming universal am nesty, and thus securing the Southern peo ple. " Intimations have come from Washington that this last thing is actually contempla ted by the Radicals, with a view of help ing their cause, thus virtually confessing that it is not in kindness to the Southern people, nor in the interests of justice and right. Tho President's remark in the j midst of the political conversation about Mosby looking “like a man who could ride a horse boldly and freely,” is characteris tic, but there can hardly be a doubt that ! while the Virginia boys did just as boldly 1 and freely range with Mosby while in the saddle during the war, they will not as readily follow him in such a political cam- j paign as he proposes hereafter. Col. Mosby's Opinion of Grant and His Prospects in the South— What Speaker Blaine Says About Grant. • From the New York Times. Washington, May S.—After Col. Mos by. the famous ex-guerilla of Virginia, had returned from his visi to the Presi dent yesterday, a friend called on him at his hotel, when the following conver sation ensued: Friend—Well, how do you like Presi dent Grant ? Col. Mosby—Oh. he is very plain. One don’t feel small in his presence; you don't feel that awe or reverence one has when ushered into the presence of Gen. Lee. I was very much pleased with Grant and my reception. Friend—llow is the issue down your way ? Col. Mosby—Well, I think it best to go for Grant. James Barbour is for him; Gen. Paine and one or two other ex-Con federate Generals are for him. Friend—How is it with your friend Gov. Smith—“ Extra Billy?" Col. Mosby—Oh, he is for Horace. Friend—AYell, what is your opinion ol the political situation ? Col. Mosby—l think it would be to the interest of the Southern people to go for Grant than a dried up vegetable like uncle Horace. He is a free loveist, an agrarian, a fourierite, and if elected might have Su san Anthony or Lucy Stone in his Cabinet. Grant could benefit the South more than Greeley, because he would have the power iu and out of Congress to do positive acts of friendship for them, whereas Greeley could not. Mosby was of the opinion that General Grant may secure the votes of the South ern people if they are convinced that they are uo longer to be subjected to persecu tions, but shall have an equal voice ia the Government, and that the policy of his Administration will be to restore kindly relations between the sec tions. He says: “I think the election will give Gen. Grant an opportunity of mak ing friends with the Southern people and the Southern people an opportunity of making a friend of Grant—iuotber words, if he is for amnesty to us we will grant it to him.” All the issues between the North and the South had beeu settled by the Constitutional amendments, and he (Col. Moseby) would uot be the one to roll away the stone from the sepulchre where they had been buried. Speaker Blaine, in conversation, to-day, alluded to the absurd stories afloat re specting the withdrawal of President (irant’s name from before the Philadelphia Convention. He scouted the notion, as a matter of course, and said that if General Grant could not be re-elected anybody else who attempted it on tho Philadelphia nomination would be simply annihilated. The National Democratic Convention.- -Cal! or the National Executive Committee, The National Democratic Convention is called to meet at Baltimore, on the nth of J uly. The following is the call for the Nation al Democratic Convention: The National Democratic Executive Committee, by virtue of authority confer red bj' the last National Democratic Con vention, at a meeting held this day in New York, voted to hold the next Convention for the purpose of nominating candidates for President and Vico President of the United States, on the ffth day of July, 1872, at 12 m., in the city of Baltimore. The basis of representation, as fixed by the last Democratic Convention, is double the number of Senators and Representa tives in Congress from each State under the apportionment census of 1870.

London, May 13. —In the Houoa of Commons this evening Gladstone mado his promised explanation of negotiations regarding indirect claims and the position taken by the Government. The House was full and the galleries crowded. Gladstone, on rising, was greeted with cheers. lie said in order to allow an opportunity for discussion on the state ments he was about to make he would bring a formal motion for the adjourn ment of the House. After alluding in terms of praise to tho forbearance shown by Parliament during the controversy, he said he M ould commence his narrative of its progress, u’itli the 18th of January, the day when it first became known to him that claims for indirect damages had been presented at Geneva in the American case. Her Majesty’s Govern ment protested on the 8d of February that indirect claims v.crc not nothin the scope of the treaty of AVashington nor nothin tho intention of cither party to the treaty. Secretary Fish replied in April that he thought the Geneva Board ought to decide the entire question. The tone of Mr. Fish’s dispatches was most courteous. Iu the meantime a communication was re ceived from Mr. Schenck, the American Minister, suggesting another course, which would be acceptable to England and America. Tbis was an interchange of notes setting forth tho views, terms and con ditions wherein both would agree to pro ceed to arbitration. AVe accepted this suggestion, continued Mr. Gladstone, and carried on a correspondence altogether by telegraph. On AVednesday, Bth instant, President Grant submitted a proposition to the Uni ted States Senate. On Thursday we as certained the proposition was not precise ly as M*e understood it should be, because of the brevity of the cable dispatch, on which it was based. On I riday a draft, covering tho letter jof our view's, w r as forwarded to Minister i Schenck, and although lengthy was im mediately telegraphed by him to Washing ton. On Saturday Mr. Schenck informed i Lord Granville that the President had ac j cepted, and the Senate entertained that ; draft. Gladstone thought this fact was almost ! equivalent to ratification. He begged : further forbearance of the House now that the question was approaching a satis | factory issue honorable alike to both na- I tions. If successful in this negotiation, Her j Majesty's Government had the right to | exact praise for settling a momentous question. The last proposals on the part of Great Britain sustained the position taken by the government in the Queen’s speech at the beginning of the present session. Gladstone, in conclusion, said he thought he was not too sanguine in pre dicting that the negotiations would re | suit in a settlement which would redound to the credit of both parties. As Gladstone took his seat there was loud and repeated cheers from all parts of the House. Disraeli follow'od with thanks to the Premier for his statement. He should not seek to embarrass the government. Whatever differences existed on other sub jects, all parties were united in a desire for a peaceful and honorable settlement, In the House of Lords Earl Granville made a statement similar to Gladstone’s. Earl Bussell again postponed his motion for an address to the Crown to withdraw' from the arbitration. He hoped the question was no longer one between the honor of the Crown and the re-election of President Grant. Earl Derby and the Duke of Itichmond expressed a hope that the new proposi tions of the British Government were un ambiguous. They had heard enough of misunderstandings. Position of Gen. John B. Gordon.— A New York letter-writer on the 3th says: The New York Sim of this morning mentions the names of Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, Hon. Jacob Thompson, of Mem phis, formerly of Mr. Buchanan’s cabinet; and other prominent Democrats, as among those who have declared for Greeley. This is a mistake as to Gen. Gordon, and doubtless as to other Southern Dem ocrats. I have had repeated conferences with Gen. Gordon ever}- day since the nomination of Greeley and Brown and he has invariably stated, when his opinion has been asked, that if the Democratic party can elect its candidates a nomina tion should by all means be made.

CARL SCHURZ. j THE MASTER-SPIRIT OF THE LIBERAL MOVE | MEKT —HIS DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE CON | VENTION, AND HOW HE BORE IT. ! Two leading journalists, who were pres | oat at the Cincinnati Convention, Samuel j Bowles, of the Springfield Republican, i and Mr. AVatterson, of the Louisville Cou i rier-Journal, have -written histories of the inside movement of the convention which resulted in the nomination of Horace Greeley. They both pay a tribute to Carl Schurz, whom another distinguished jour nalist, Mr. Horace AVhite, of the Chicago Tribune, calls “one of the greatest men of this country.” [Mr. Bowles In the Springfield Republican.] My review and record of this notable convention are not complete without a ref erence to its distinguished leader and pres ident, the real master-spirit of the move ment, whose first national convention car ried so severe a blow and sharp a wound ;to him, personally. The conduct of Gov ; emor Brown and its resultant nomination of Mr. Greeley were indeed a sad surprise aud EP.rions blow to Oail Schurz. Pledg ing in faltering voice his support of the nomination to the convention, he left it, weary with labor and sad in spirit for the house of his friend, Judge Stallo. Enter ing thore a circle of equally disappointed friends, be said: “I am overwhelmed and discouraged.” There were no words of consolation or cheer to offer him, and a sad silence reigned for a few moments. Then he turned to the piano, and with his master hand poured out his feeling through one of Auber’s most touching composi tions. It seemed as if the composer’s j thought had never been so fitly rendered ! before, and tears filled the eyes of the ! whole company. But in a more noble way than he was wounded will the country revenge Carl Schurz. His high and gen erous course at this convention and his noble address to it won him the added re spect of both friend and foe. Never did he stand so high in the estimation of the American people as at this moment, and he well deserves the significant compli ment which Charles Francis Adams paid to him more than a year ago, in saying “that the one man who seemed to under stand our institutions, their spirit, their history, their dangers, and their possibili ties better than any other citizen was of foreign birth, and his name u’as Carl Schurz.” [Mr. AVatterson iu Louisville Courier-Journal.] The conduct of Mr. Schurz was, from first to last, singularly impartial and self respecting. He accepted tho presidency to save the convention from an impen ding muddle. He exercised its duties and opportunities with the strictest re gard to the success of the movement. Those who have personal knowledge of his conduct when not exposed to the watch of the Gratz Brown party, but when brought into communication with those who under no circumstances would accept Gratz Brown or support him as a nominee for President, can attest the faithfulness and integrity with which he represented all the obligations of private friendship, if such there be. In a word, a more honorable, a more high-spirited gentleman does not live than this same Carl Schurz, who is not only incapable of intrigue, because he does not understand it, being very nearly the next thing to an innocent as a contriver, but because he is by birth and by habit a statesman, and not a politician * * * The country cannot afford to lose the public services of Carl Schurz, whatever may be the local exigencies in Missouri. The impulses of j a magnanimous spirit, which sets honor '■ and truth and generosity above all the j circumstances o£ a success that is merely mechanical and only material (I do not expect this language to be understood by such men as McClure, of Pennsylvania), require us to interpose between a man like Schurz and all attempts to sacrifice him on the altars of ambition. If there is nothing in these apprehensions they may be easily allayed. If there are mis conceptions the country demands to be informed before it goes any further in this business. “The Pmncess of Galena.”— Miss Nel lie Grant’s foreign campaign trill make her the envy of all her schoolmates on her return; for, while others may make the “grand tour” in as suberb republican style as they will, it has been given to no American girl in our previous history, and possibly nev.ef will be in the future, to have the great fountains of Versailles played for her especial benefit after the cascades and the spouts had rested dry through two years, and then to be pre sented to the Queen of Great Britain as the “lady of highest place in America.” But most notable in the very eventful trip of Miss Grant is the sudden and pro fuse amicability which her visit has in spired in the Loudon Times. To be made the subject of a leader in this journal is of itself a distinguished honor; but when the Thunderer tames its usual roar to mild phrases on her account, hails her coming as an omen of reconciliation and good feeling, and predicts that her return to America will lead to the diffusion of a better know ledge of English opinion and sentiment, and ultimately heal existing dissensions, the tribute is flattering in deed.—Charleston Mercury.

Ninety thousand segars, seized during the spring by the internal revenue officers at Key West, were sold by the United .

Increase in Texas, 214,364, or j 35.48 per cent.; increase in Missouri, 539,- ( 283, or 45.63 per cent. This combined j movement has grown largely since the war, owing to the expanse of territory, j the resources for agriculture and pro- | ductive industry, and facilities for an ex- j tended commerce. The colored race, j since emancipation, seem to tend toward the tropics. Florida is remote from all the great sources of emigration. Yet the increase of Delaware was only 13,799, or 11.31 per cent., and the population is but 125,015. But Florida has become a great resort for seekers after health. But Florida has 59,268 square miles, with a population in 1870 of a little over three persons to a square mile. Pennsylvania has only 46,- 000 square miles.
