Louisville, Q-a: FRIDAY JULY 28, 1871. Judge Erskiee, of the United States District Coart, at its reoent sitting in Savannah, gave the following opinion on the validity of contracts made for the purchase of slaves: “If contracts enter* ed into previous to the promulgation of the President's proclamation of emanci pation, the consideration of which was the price and pnrohase money of slaves, were then valid under the Constitution and laws of the United States, and of the State of Georgia, the aid of the courts must be given, if demanded to enforce them.” Attorney General Akerman will doubt less soon be in his Georgia nest, as he has issued instructions to District At torneys to be zealous and make extraor dinary efforts in the execution of the Kn-Klax bill. Whenever they hear of outrages they shall procure warrants from the Federal commandtr, arrest par ties accused, and have them bound over or committed, nntil the ensuing term of the Federal Court. The Commencement exercises of the University of Georgia, will begin on next Sunday. Dr. Hicks preaches at night; Hon. B. H. Hill delivers the Alumni Address,Hon. Beverly A Thorn ton, the Literary Address. We have not seen a programme, and cannot give further particulars. Theodore D. Woolsey, LL. D., Presi dent of Yale College has been succeed ed by Professor Porter, who has been connected with that institution for thir ty years. Dr. Woolsey is widely known as a profound thinker, and an editor of classical text-books. The opposition of the Gentiles and Miners in Utah, has done much to weak en the church of Brigham Young, and without recruits from foreign countries, this religion will soon cease to exist. Missionaries in various parts of the old World have succeeded in enticing many worthless vagabonds from the hovels of many large cities, and several hundred “converts" have been shipped to the land of promise recently. The Presidential Campaign of 1872. Those who rest implicit confidence in in the assertion that in a multitude of counselors there is safety, must cer tainly anticipate glorious times for the American Republic after 1872. The Radical'party is about to divide, and nominate several candidates, the Demo crats, we fear will follow suit, and beside there are several independent nominees !j the field who apparently are running just for the fnn of the exercise. Greeley is the Agricultural President, m prospecto ; Grant, the (nepotic) defen der, from the Radical party ; Hancock and Hoffman apparently, from the Dem ocratic ; Mrs. Victoria Woodhull, the female suffrage-slinger is entered for the race, and ere long, we may expect to hear of a negro candidate, (we suggest A. Alpeoria Bradley) a labor reformer, a Fenian, an Orangeman, n John China man, and a Digger Indian. We shall support each and every nominee ; wo want every one of them elected, so that the American mind can become thor oughly disgusted with this Presidential tomfoolery. With this “multitude of Counselors” the interests of this vast Republic will certeioly, to all human appearances, be safe. Under the direc tion of the good Texas Greeley, the car of agricultural progress will be driven forward with a double head of steam, the brave Ulysses will fulminate the Ku Klux into nihility, and thus save the Union, the beautiful tartar emetic, Vic toria, Queen of Hearts, will charm the uproarious discord of men’s single polit ical blessedness, into the harmony of social equality, and these greater lumin aries, assisted by the light of the other lesser orbs, will dUpel the darkness that has so long overhung this country, and bring the light of the day dawn of the Golden Age. The New York Riot, is indicative of the fact that the minds of some American citizens have under gone a change with reference to reli gion! toleration and liberty of conscience and action. The Orangemen intending to parade, as it their custom, on the 12tb of July) the Fenians determined to break np the procession, if necessary, by force. In order to avoid bloodshed, Su perintendent Kelso of the Poliee un wisely forbade the Orange parade; at which an alarm was sounded, that en croachmets were being made upon the rights of free citizens, and e wide-spread fee ling of indignation prevailed. Gov. Hoffman, wisely and justly counter manded the order of Kelso, and issued a proclamation to the offset that the pa rade should be protected by the poliee mod military at ell hazards. On the day appointed, the enraged mob attacked the proeestion at various points, until it be* eame necessary for the soldiers to inter fere. Several volleys were fired, and one hundred and thirty-seven persona were killed and wounded. The mob be ing dispersed, the Orangemen finished their parade in peace. This riot, though of itself quite e se rious affair, seems but the initiatory step to scenes of still further violence end bloodshed. The spirit of intolerance which characterizes the people of Eu rope, is uufortunately blending itself, tbrongh the medium of foreign immigra tion, with the hitherto liberal ideas of oar countrymen. This attack upon the Orangemen was but a result of this growing evil, which the “vetoing Gov ernor” Hoffman, did well to (tamp with the mark of his disapprobation, by crushing out all such iotolerant senti ments at the point of the bayonet. Amer ican freedom will be a thing of the past whenever oDe sect or party is intimidat ed by another, and the authorities sanc tion such attempt at intimidation.— This vital essence of American freedom, liberty of speech and conscience, must be preserved, though the sceDes of the Reign of Terror bo revived with three fold blackness, and the streets of our cities become but the counterpart of Paris under tbe Commune. This will be the inevitable result if onr free dom is lost, and it were better to suf suffer intolerant persecution after bav ing done our duty, thau to rest snpinely and see the last remnants of our once glorious liberty pass from onr grasp without a struggle. Law and Plunder in Georgia. Dr. N. L. Angier, tbe Republican Treasurer of this State, in his statement before tbeKu Klux Committee on Fri day, preseuted the following facts and figures against Gov. Bullock : Disavowing political or partisan views he said the Governor had violated the plain letter of the law in many instan ces, including tbe issuing of new State bonds, his efforts to conceal tbe amount, and his disposition of them. The wit* tifsss said be knew nothing of the Ku Klux exoept from rumor and the news papers and reports, never having to his knowledge seen one. He thought law lessness had exhibited itself in some sections of Georgia, as it did at times in every State, and probable always would. He could not say bow far it bad beeo political, but believed it was such in some sections, and that there had been both white aud black making nse of tbe disguise for private gain and personal revenge, and boys for mischief. He regarded it as a wonder that the people are as quiet and as peaceable as they are, with tbe corruptions and the terrible plunderings, and over three hun dred pardons by the Governor, e large portion for murder, in gome cases before trial. There is no such thing as a gen eral disturbance, and neyer has been. Many negroes and some whites are ad dicted to stealing and licentiousness, and this has caused disturbance in 60me localities. If individual accounts are true, there is a terrible condition of af fairs in cot tain neighborhoods. He thought, however, the pictures are over drawn, as they have been proved to be in most cases, and in some entirely false. Injured and interested parties are apt to give extravagant accounts, and with unprincipled men this was a cheap and convenient way of making political cap ital, and inducing large rewards for made-up sham cases. He thought the State courts sufficient to restrain law., lessness if tbe Governor would cease his wholesale pardoning. Tbe rights of the negro were safer in tbe hands of upright, intelligent white furors than in those of negro jurors, in the present condition of that race. There was with gome persons a strong preju dice, and even hatred against the negro, mostly because of the political tights conferred upon him, but a large portion of the wisest and most substantial men, especially if they arc politicians and have no objection to bolding office, are rather pleased that those rights have been conferred to tbe extent of voting, as it makes more offices, and they will control the negro, and through him gain political aud representative Btreqth for the South. The Sontb generaly admits the legal binding force of tbe recon struction acts and the new amendments to the Constitution, until changed legiti mately, it changed at all, claiming the right of appeal or a judicial negative. Col. Edward C. Anderson, of Savan nah, was also examined by the Commit tee on the same day. We append his testimony as reported in the Patriot of Saturday : Upon beiog questioned as to the con dition of the city of Savannah with ref erence to its government, Col. Anderson replied that it was a law-abiding city, and was foitunate and prosperous under democratic rule for the past four years. The Committee then interrogated bim as follows: Q. What do you mean by that? A. Mnnioipal rule. Q. Do you know of any instances of preconcerted violence in tbe city of Sa vannah 7 A. I know several: Ist, The blocking of the polls by negroes. On tbe day of the Presidential election the polls in the city were taken possession of at 4 a. m. ana held nntil tbe time of the opening of the same, 7a. m. Shortly after they opened, the operatives from tbe Central Railroad depot came up in a body to vote, with instructions to deposit their ballots and return at once to work. They were prevented from so doing by the ne groes, who had taken possession of tbe polls. The police authorities were call ed into requisition, end as they ap proached tbe voting precinots were fired 1 into by the negroes; one man was killed outright and another mortally wounded. The firing then became general, and thn polls were cleared for the day. Another instance was tbe tarring end feathering of a negro by negroee, bee ease be had voted the Democratic ticket. He wee taken oat on the outakirts of the eity, end a coat ofter end feathnra ap plied to his body. The witoess elated he did not remem- ber of other preconcerted outrages, when Senator Pool charged him to tax bis memory. After reflection, be recited two other cases, one the killing of e boy whilet banting, by e negro; end another attempt to Ko-Klox a negro named Bradley, all the participants being ne groes end Radicals. A bag was thrown over his bead, and an attempt was made to plaee him in an ambulance; his cries attracting the attention of a policeman, he was rescued, and by him taken home. There had, of course, been isolated cases of disturbance and murder among tbe whites, but they did not proceed from any preconcerted plan, and the witness thought it would hardly be fair to con demn tbe city for these isolated cases of disorder, any more than it would be proper to judge of tbe morels of Boston from the records of its Poliee Court. In response to a query whether tbe people of Georgia were loyal to the Gov ernment, Mr. Anderson replied that bis construction of loyalty meant a devotion to the maintenance of law, and that in that sense, tho people were essentially loyal; that when construed in regard to their loyalty to the Government, they were not hostile to it, but that they ut terly condemned the administration of the Government, as illustrated in the persons of their representatives holding office in their midst. He stated that tbe sentiments of the Southern people toward Northern men who came to locate with them were those of kindness; that they were glad to have them ; that many bad come and settled with them, and were prosperous in busi ness, and made good citizens. He fur ther stated that he thought tbe effeot of general amnesty would be to soften down at once all asperity of feeling, and unite tbe hearts of the people in support of the country. The witness was then asked if he knew or had ever heard of the existence of the Ku-Klux Klan in Georgia, to which he replied he had not as an pr ganization. He bad beard of an in stance where disguised men had roleaa ed a prisoner in Rome, Georgia, taken by the United States military authori ties, without warrant of law. Mr. Anderson testified that tbe courts in Georgia were impartial in their ad ministration of the law ; that it was ad ministered without reference to class or condition, and that they wero amply able to dispose of cases coming before them, and at tbe same time uphold the supremacy of the same. He then explained what be meant by the remark that under Democratic rule the city of Savannah was prosperous, by statiDg that real estate bad advanced rapidly; that before the war exports nev er exceeded twenty-eight millions of dollars: that one year after the war they footed up fifty-eight millions, and the present year up ’til date, they a mounted to seventy millions, and that 700,000 bales of cotton had already been shipped this year. Mr. Pool then asked the witness what the people of Georgia thought of the administration of Gov. Bullock, to which he replied that, irrespective of party, they thought his administration most in famous, from the fact that he bad almost bankrupted the State. During the month of June, 338,110 letters were sent to the Dead Letter office. Os these, 235,600 were ordinary domestic letters ; 42,600 were local or drop-letters ; 28,582 were held for pos tage, misdirected, or otherwise unmail ablo; 2,825 letters were addressed to parties who had left, and whose where abouts could not be ascertained ; 3,578 were addressed with fictitious names; 607 were registered letters; 8,750 were letters originating in the United States and returned from foreign countries, and 18,266 were sent from abroad to persons in tho United States who could not be found. During the same period were returned to the senders, withont en closures, 172,536 letters; 1,815 letters onelosing in the aggregate $8,675,02 ; 1,894 letters containing drafts and check; 2,310 with receipts and other papers of value; 946 with jewelrjippnd end other property enclosed ; taining photographs ; 1,345 with small amounts of fractional currency ; and 3,- 687 containing postage stamps to differ ent amounts. A Touching Incident. —Within the past week an aged and worthy woman, once the property of the mother of Cap tain Lewis Kenan and his nurse through out infancy—came to our city alone and over three hundred miles of travel, with no other object than to look at hie grave and sympathise with her old mistress in the deep distress of the family ! Her feelings were those of a mother; end when tbe poor, sorrowing soul gazed upon tbe narrow bounds which holds all that is mortal of him she had tended and cared for as her own, there is little doubt she shared much of the sad be reavement of tbe real parent. Such itf stances of devoted attachment and un ostentatious gratitude are few, even among the highest grades of society illustrating as it doos those ties which subsisted in the relation of Southern masters and their slaves—making it e mutual joy and a lasting benefit to both alike. The woman here alluded to is Dicy, well and kiudly remembered by many citizens of Milledgeville, born and own ed in the family of the late Col. Robert W. Alston, and who has never lived un der any other protection. She is now, and has been ever since the war, in the service of one of her former young mistresses (Mrs. Reid, of Thomasville, Ga.,) and the same attentive, unswer ving friend and assistant, as she bad been the dutiful, faithful end trusted servant. Her mission ended, and her feelings gratified, she has gone back to her home, where, we hope, her days may be prolonged, end their termination crowned with tbe assurance of e happy hereafter. _ Jno.

Crops in Arkansas.—A. friend, wri ting us from Ashley’s Mills, Pulaski county, Arkansas, under date of the 14th inat, eays: “Tbe farmers and planters are perfectly jubilant over the fine prospect for both corn end cotton in this section. Cotton is about two weeks later than it wee lest season; neverthe less, with a moderately late frost, there will doubtless be more made then ean be gathered.” The Avenir aeys that Thiers has writ ten to the Pope e vague letter, promis ing diplomatic support if the other fjow era will join Frsnee. The Spanish Cortes passed e resolve to hold Cube at any cost. It is rumored that in consequence of the War discussion, the Spanish Cabi net will dissolve end a Radical Minis try be formed.

The New York World of Saturday publsshes a carefully compiled list of tbe dead and wounded of the memorable 12th of July. Two of tbe military met their death and eighteen were wounded. Forty-nine .civilians were killed, and eighty-seven wounded, making a grand total of fifty-one killed and one hun dred and five wounded. Later reports mention the death of several of tbe wounded and the probable deoease of many more. Col. Thornes H. Hager, of the Eigh teenth Federal Infantry, who was at one time Provisional Governor of Georgia, under an appointment of General Meade, has been assigned to tbe command of the West Point Military Academy. Nows has been received of the restor ation of the entire telegraph system in France. Telegrams can now be sent, via cable, to all parts of France, with a perfect certainty that they will reach their destinations. The great Bonnet Carre crevasse in the Mississippi river, which submerged the Jackson Railroad and about 2000 and 200 square miles of territory, is two hundred feet wide, but tbe river is fall ing rapidly, and by tbe first of August no water will run tbrongh it. The rail road has been destroyed for a distance of about fonrteen miles, bnt preparations are being made to place it in thorough order as soon as the water falls. Fire in Athens —We have been per mitted to read a letter from Athens, Ga., dated Snnday, in which the writer says, the day before that (Saturday) tbe alarm of fire was sounded, to the great con sternation of the citizens of that usually quiet city. On investigation it proved to be what is known as tbe old “Frank lin House,” which was neatly destroy ed, Owing to the exertions of tbe fire department tbe flames were confined to Kbat building alone. The lon la not »Ut«d. vri Sva. A G Hodgson, of A them, who iu appointed to tho Naval Academy, at J. E. Blount, better known u “Old Spot,” Judge of the 12th District Court, has recently decided that the vagrant act is unconstitutional. This decision was in his own favor. Dr. Harrison Weeteaorelaed, who was sentenoed to the penitentiary for twenty years for the shooting of Dr. G. L. Bed wine some time last year, was released on ball yesterday—B6,ooo being the amount of the bond—and upon which he secured the names of Peter Huge, J Lynch, Wm. Hay ville and Dr. J G Westmoreland. He was refused anew trial by Judge Hopkins, and appealed to the Supreme Court, during the pen dency of which he gets out on the above bond A member of the Arkansas Legisla ture, who goes for economy in public expenditure, in speaking on an extrav agant appropriation, indignantly ex claimed : “Gentlemen, talk about 'ade quate compensation of public servants.’ Why, sir, during the late war I was in thirty-seven battles, was wounded thir teen times in the cause of the South, and the entire pay I received was 830 in Confederate money and every cent of which I gave for one glass of old rye whiskey.” The Washington Capitol is discussing the momentous question: ‘‘Shall we have a better White House to put our President in, or a better President to put in our White House 1” An Important Decision. —The United States Supreme Court have decided that the limitation laws of the Southern States were suspended for the full period between the proclamation of blockade of the Southern ports April 19th, 1861, and the proclamation of restoration of Federal authority of August 20th, 1866. The effect of this decision will be to reopen the courts of the Southern States to ante-war claims of Northern credi tors, and to give vitality to obligations which have been barred by limitation under the hitherto received ruliug of State Courts. The principle will apply equally to Federal and State Courts. Savannah News. From the West. The Fort Smith, Arkansas, Era of July 3d, learns from Deputy United States Marshals McLemore and Bora that Salanta and Big Tree, the Kiowa chiefs, captured at Fort Sill when Gen. Sherman was there, aud sent to Austin, Texas, attempted to escape from prison, and actually released themselves from the shackles by gnawing the flesh from their hands and feet, but were discov ered and shot dead. Marshals McLemore and Bora report that the people of the Texas frontier are very uneasy lest there should be a general outbreak of reserve Indians up on the settlements, to take vengeance for the death of their chiefs. A Hew and Dangerous Oreenbao Within a week past, a number of ex ceedingly dangerons counfcits have made their appearance. How large the num ber may be, cannot be known, for the counterfeit is so nearly faultless that it is only with the utmost difficulty that it can be distinguished from tbe genuine. The spurious bill is a twenty dollar greenback. The only weak point in the execution seems to he the central figure, which is a little too coarsely done,— When presented in a packago, however, this figure is not seen in tbe rapid coun ting, it being bidden by the hand or the overlying bills. The other points of the bill are so excellent as to stand the test of the strongest light. We are told that two or three banks have been de ceived by the bills. There has not been a more dangerous counterfeit put afloat. Business men, bank tellers, rail road ticket agents, and others, would do well to keep a sharp lookout for these bills.— Peterson’s Counterfeit Detector , July 1. Augusta, July 18.—There have been heavy rains, accompanied by destruc tive winds, for several days. The dams of the Longley Cotton Factory and Bath Paper Mills, situated on Horse creek, six miles from Augusta, broke at four o’clock thiumorning. Tbe volume of water striking the South Carolina Railroad, swept away the embankment and track for half a mile. The damage to the road was repaired and trains are running. Borne three hundred opera tives in the mills were thrown out em ployment. The loss is fifty thousand dollars. Murder and Retribution. —We are in formed by gentlemen from Albany, that on Monday last, a Mr. Rush, the over seer on Mr. Ben. H. Hill’s Mud Creek plantation, had a difficulty with a negro employed on the place, in which the negro attempted to strike Rush with a singletret, and Rush shot at him but without effect. The negro then left, and on Tuesday returned with double barrel shot gun, and, approaching Rush when iu the field, remarked to him : “1 am now armed and on an equal footing with you.” Bush replied, “all right,” and when iu the aot of leaping from his horse, the negro shot him in the side with a load of buckshot. Rush fell from his horse mortally wounded and the negro ran. The negroes in the field who had witnessed the aflhir, immedi ately started to a neighboring planta tion for a doctor, and on the way they found the negro who had shot Rush, ly ing dead in tie road with the top of his head blown off arid his gun by his side. It is supposed Ah at he aecidectly dts charged the other barrel of his gun aud killed himself or, thinking that he was being pursued and woald be caught and punished, stopped in the road and blew his own head off.
