I.ast Words. —The last copy that was ever pre pr.rtd, and the Ust matter that was ever set up, lor the old Savauuah Republican is this, done by request of the last city editor of the paper: “Time has laid his hand Upon my heart gently, not smiting it; But as a harper lays liis open palm Upon his harp, to deaden Us vibratiors.” A New York letter says: “Ti.tons favorite tip ple- is ale ; Dana's is Santa Cruz ; Joe Howards is giu ; Reid’s is soda water ; Cbamberluu’s is whis key ; Marble’s is champagne ; Bryant’s is hock; Bcu Wade’s is benzine; takes to the Spanish wines; Swintona to the Hungarian ; Goodwin to the Italian ; Godkin to Burgundy ; Otteadorier to the RUice wiues ; Hastings to mix ed drinks;and Bundy to milk and water. The reporters generally, including Shanks, Williams, Ciapsey and lsreais, ailed lager beer.” * l’Re BUK.Y the best paid of the American news p ip ;r cor resp ondents at Vienna is Miss Olive Har per, who was scut theie by the San Francisco Alta, but who also corresponds with the St. Louis Globe. Miss Harper is iueurably lame and eanr.ot move except on cruieacs. Yet she is very enter prising, and is an Interesting writer. She was posting off to the Uva beds to report the move ment:-of Captain Jack, when the Alta couuter umuikdlhe orders .t had given her and sent her to Vienna. Though lamed by anchylosis of the knee joint she U a splendid horse-woman, and even on her crutches she glides along gracefully nud even easily. She is thirty and a widow—Mi=e Harper being merely her literary pseudonym. |[ t<t v ttt \ettt|niper. It l - - -11 **i c-m pAsalng a law Ahi.h in i-.'j. i is. it. j-iopte t\ inr newspapers U uap nil JeiiUU HI Un- bUlnry u! the Govern ment, and l but another evidence of the unbridled impudence : 0 viudifltYeuevo that has ruled in llie counsel, ol the nation since the war. It is an outrage upon the right- aid material interests of the people at large tbit should call down the bitterest loipreoatiou# ad the sever and mod unrelenting denunciation up on the beads of rhoae deluded creature* who f cognized no law rave that which w- ristd tlo ir aggrand'z no n', aid re garded no rights when in conflict witn the fur therance of their advancement. The burden that this law places upon the news pcpur press, can, and will be borne without com plaint ; but in so far as the rights ol the people have been infringed upon, we apprehend the press will throw “ bot-.-but ” so glaringly brilliaut, upon the conduct of those who supported the urju-t and grossly insulting measure, as will give the people a tnorougii knowledge of the enormity of the act. That it was u direct hoine-thrust of Con gress at the newspapers no one doubts; but tho trouble is, the blow falls npon the people. To demonstrate that Congress was not inspired by the interests of the people in the passage of the postal law, we call attention to this fact: it wiil cost a subscriber as much postage on his county paper, carried only five or ten miles, as he pays for the New York World or Tribune, carried a thousand or fifteen hundred miles. This glaring and disgraceful discrimination in favor of the more influential and wealthier papers of the country is a significant circumstance that points to bribery, contemptible ignorance, or a blow at the country press, at the sacrifice of the people's interest. We think therefore that every newspaper should demand at the hatid6 of Congress such an amend ment to the pos'al law as will make it equitable and equal in its operations. The subscriber for a local newspaper should be charged less postage than one published in an adjoining county, district or State. We make this appeal, not in behalf of the newspapers, but in behalf and for the benefit of the people. >-. The Coming War. The collection of a large number of troops and vessels, and the presence of the Lieutenant-Gen eral on the Mexican border for some time has created the belief with many, that it was the in tention of the Government to assume hostile re lations against the Mexican government. For some time past, the Mexican freebooter chief, Cortina, and his followers, have been de predating upon the property on the Texan side ot the Rio Grande. That the Mexican Government is held iu con tempt by a large number of its mongrel inhabi tants, cannot be disputed, and that it is unable or disinclined to control and put down the thelviug renegades, who continually rob the people of Western Texas, is also tine. President Grant, doubtless, thinks that the Mexicans are incapable of self-government, and that it would be a stroke of good policy for him to crush them out, and “ gobble” up that little territory. Gen. Roscncranz, who has just returned from Mexico, reports that it contains about 7,500,000 miserable people ; and that 500,000 of this num ber are restless wandering rascals. Gen. R. thinks that the higher and more en lightened classes of the people would welcome the protection of the United States; and that the conquest of Mexico, in the event of war. could be easily accomplished. The Walworth Patricide. The killing of Mansfield T. Walworth, by his son last week, is creating quite a sensation iu New York, at this time. It appears that the wife of Walworth Lad obtained a divorce some years ago, on the ground of ill-treatment ami habitual drunk enness. Mrs. Walworth went to Saratoga and opened a young ladies’ Seminary. Whilst there she received many insulting and threatening let ters trem W alwortb, charging her with the most infamous conduct. The son came in possession of the letters and was so enraged at the treatment his mother was receiving, that he went immedi ately to New York, hunted bis father down ard killed him. This killing of a father by a son is a melancholy aflair, and one to be greatly regretted and con demned. If the reports are true, as stated, that she had been traduced audher fair name and virtue assailed, there is much to mitigate the action of the son. And whilst we can conceive of but few cases that would justify such an act, yet upon the whole the young man is to be more pitied than censured. National Press Association.—At the last Con vention of the Georgia Press Association, held in the City of Americus, Mr. Robert L. Rogers, ot the Sandersville Herald introduced a series of resolutions, looking to the formation of an associa tion of the entire Press of the United States. In a late editorial upon that subject, Mr. Rogers says : “ We do not propose|to say much upon the subject now, as we expect to have occasion to refer to it olten In the future. The urgent neces sity for such united action as this movement pro poses, must be apparent to every liberal minded journalist, and we hope we may secure the hearty co-operation ol all good journalists in the land, and let us work together for the protection of ourselves, and for the general good of our great commonwealth. Let us unite as a fraternity, and let American journalism stand out in high relief as a grand column, nobly supporting the rights and liberties of freemen. Let American journalism be as a firm pillar, upon which may rest the perpetuity of the fabric, the American republic, and free republican institutions. Let every journalist throughout the whole country eschew every evil and every appearance of cor ruption, aud let every one desist from the per sonal detraction and harsh bickerings which have of late been the characteristic feature in the writings of many. Let us have an independent journalism, guided by truth and correct princi ples. Let journalism be as a stately wall, dividing the good from the bed, and let all that are within be distinguished as the true and the good; in short, we would have the standard of journalism to be dignified, firm and pure. Who can calcu late the good results which would follow a single convention held id someone of our large cities, at which every representative journal in the country should be represented. Such a personal convention of gentlemen representing extreme views and extreme sections would do more to wards the conservation of good government, and to appease the bitter feelings of the North and South, than all the political platforms of a cen tury. Then let us have the National Association ; let us ‘ shake hands across the bloody chasm,’ of which we have heard so much, and let * reconcilia tion’ be mare practical than speculative. Men would go to their hemes from such a convention, not only with larger views of usefulness, but with more definite aims aud purposes of doing good to their fellow-mqn. A high standard of journal ism would be established, and journalists would feel constrained to work up to it.” Newspaper Change.— The “good will” and material of the Savannah Republican has been purchased by the proprietors of the Advertiser and Republican. The Republican was one among the many old papers of the State, and we regret that circum stances have occurred to necessitate its discon tinuance and absorption by another. We extend our sympathies to the conductors of the Republi can, in being forced to abandon a paper ot such character; aud congratulate the Advertiser, in its good fortune to secure a paper bearing its re putation. ■ The Modoc War Ended.— At htlf-paal three o’clock on the Ist day of June, in the State of California, near Clear Lake, two warriors, five squaws and seven children, led by Capt. Jack, “passed in their checks.” Thus,one of the grandest farces that has ever been enacted under the direc tion of the United States government has ended. We thank God for it. We hope the transactions of the “ Modoc War” may pass from the memory of the American people, acd our history be saved from iU a tains and blurs. Financial Condition of Gbobua —We clip the following article from the Atla Sun : :ho Lexington (Ky.) Press sajs that *• . . j nt financial condition ol the State ol Georgia, aud her rapid progri6s iu material proepenty *,lc the overthrow ot Bullock and his lUdi-al as-o ciates, and the administration of her tlai i-passed into the hands ot the Democratic pa.:y, is iu striking contrast with the bankrupt and dis organized condition of those Star*s - ol subject to the dishonest and unscrupulous officials dele gated to enforce the reconstruction policy if Grant,” And, continuirg, the same paper that “a fair comparison between Cue prosperous condi tion of Georgia and the preset.t financial and in dustrial affairs ol those States that L -.ve been less successful in their resistance to the a: t/trary en croachments of the Federal power, reVials a system of fraud and piandei which att irds entfi ciect justification for the recent outbreaks iu the Soutn.” Georgians may look with pride at the manly resistance they Lave made at the ba 10.-b x to the encroachments of Federal legislation through its policy of reconstruction usurpations. Rut Kir their firm refusal to endorse those ions they have finally rid the State of Radical turn aud plunder, and succeeded in placing her finan cial affairs in a healthy condition. It was he great Democratic heart of the people that nerved Georgians to peacefully, but successfully, as Idw abidiug citizens, resist with the ballot the en croachments of Federal power upon the r rights. Had the people of Georgia endorsed the re construction policy of Congress, and calmly folded their arms in slavish submission to that policy, or frantically, or desperately resisted it with violence outside of “law and order,” we should, to-day, perhaps, be in the condition oi other Southern States, and turbulence and dis order would now prevail as they do in those States. What we have done we have dene calmly, firm'y acd resolutely. We have done cur our work through the Constitutional modes of ridding the Slate of public evils. It has been done peacefully and tuccessfully. These results have been effected by adherence to that great Democratic principle that teaches submission to law, however evil in its tendency, until it may be removed in the mode pointed out by the organic laws of the land. The Cost of TnE War. —Commissioner Wells, in his report made some time ago, gives some fig ures that are worth studying. Ho shows approx imately we presume, what it cost the count]y to put down what in the Yankee phrase was “ a great rebellion.” It would seem from his report the na tional debt was but a moieiv of tbecost. Ilia re ports are the fullest and completed that has been published. He commences with the amount of he public debt of the United States on March 7th, 1861 which was 576,455,299. The receipts into the treasury from all sources during the next four years closing April 1, 1865, were $675,799,791. For the next succeeding four years, ending June 30, 1860, they were sl,9oß,s67,62s—aggiegating $2,- 584,257,317. At that time the national debt was less cash on hand and the sinking fund. 52,4-BJ,- 002,450. Now deduct this from the debt, at tin: beginning of the war, and add their receipts tor the eight years as above, and we have $4,496,914,- 498. Deduct next the ordinary expenses of the government if there had been no war, and we have —say $825,000,000, and there remains $4,191,914,- 493, to represent the actual cost of the war. But this is not all. There are pensions amount ing to $200,000,000. Then there are the expenses incurred by individuals, towns, cities, counties and States, for bounties and other purposes, and we have lull SSCO,OOO,OOO more. And still this is not all. Mr. Wells estimates the industrial less to the country during the war at $200,000,000, mak ing a final footing up of $6,371,914,498. This, mind you, only represents the Northern or Union side of the debt. The Confederate expenses are placed at $2,700,000,000, making a grand total as follows: U. 8. Gov. expenses $4,171,914,498 .Pensions capitalized 200,000,000 Expenses States, etc 800,000,000 Industrial losses 1 200,000,000 Confederate expenses 2.700,000,000 $9,071,914,498 *• The Democratic Party.— The New York World in the course of a long article upon the principles of the Democratic party, says : “ The Democratic party has stood lailhiully by its old standards on the vital, paramount question ol the limits of governmental authority. This question goes the deepest of any. It is the most abiding of any. It Is the nature of power, Ike avarice, to strive for perpetual accumulation ; and it is the nature of remediable suffering to resist. The conflict between power and liberty is as old as the human race; it will endure as long as man exists upon the earth. A party that aim3 to curtail authority rests cn immovable foundations, and mast in the long run have the good wishes of the majority. From the days of Jefferson to our own, the Democratic party has constantly been on the side of the people and the States in withstanding a concentration of power in the General Govern ment. The present Republican party has out done all that the old Federalists ever dreamed of iu the opposite direction. Its little finger is thicker than were the Federalist loins. It is the lineal successor and heir-at-law of that old op ponent of Democrscy, and the inheritance would seem to have quietly lain at compound interest until the Republican party came into possession. That old battle will be fought over again in our time; and the Democratic party stands where it stood seventy-five years ago, when it marshalled its torces for its first great victory. A ship whose pathway lies in the direction ol some of the great ocean currents may encounter head-winds, and occasionally be driven backward by teeir violence; but she will nevertheless make her voyage, for the opposing winds are bat transient, while the favoring currents are everlasting. To tzie Point. —Said Garrett to Brown, the latter under guard on his way to the penitentiary, “ Hello ! Brown, what does this mean ?’’ Brown, dropping his head, and feeling disgraced, said: “ The truth is, I stole Smith’s horse, and he proved it on me.” Said Garrett: “Brown, I thought you were smarter than that. Why did you not do as I did?” How, Garrett?” “I bought these horses and buggy on time, made a store account of over a thousand dollars, aud took a homestead; bought a big bill the day I applied for a homestead; never intended to pay a dollar on any ol them when I made the purchase.” Said Garrett: “Bicwu, surely you do not keep posted, or you would learn to steal without feel ing disgraced, by buying on time, and taking a homestead.” Now, reader, if I tavored Garrett, I would say. go it, Brown, you are not disgraced, and sigu a petition to get Brown out of the peni tentiary to-morrow. Surely, Governor Smith would not be willing to let Garrrett ride head up and tail over the dash-board, with his wife, and keep poor Brown in the penitentiary for one poor horse. It is enough to give Brown the epizootic. —Ex. The following communication, written o*. postal card, and dated from New York, was re ceived by Bev. Edwsrl Everett Hale in Boston the other day : “ Having just been released from a short period of confinement, I drop you this to inform you that if you want that nice overcoat (SSO) which was professionally abstracted from that noble edifice, the Boston Public Library, last February, you can find it at the first “ wood b'.nery ’ oa Broadway, in that part of the * Hub known as So.
