Courier-Journal: The South is daily in receipt of the vilest abu 0 e from New England Republican statesmen, but in the matter of internal revenue taxation the South helps the Federal Govern ment along a good deal better than do tlio New England States. Seven South ern St-tes, including Kentucky, with an aggregate property valuation ol about $2,500,000,000, paid into the Federal Treasury last year over $22,- 000,000 in taxes, while the six New England States, with a property vulua tton of over 84,000,000,000, paid but 83,- 500,000. Tnat is not equitable, yet these Southern people, who pay six times as much as the New Englanders, are denounced as “idle,”‘Tawless,” and ‘ seeking to destroy the Uuion 1” In his speech in the Senate on Thurs day, in behalf of the 11,000 Mexican War Veterans now living, Gen. Shields, pointing to Senator Butler, of South Carolina, said: “A regiment from your State went to Mexico 1,100 strong, and when it entered the City of the Monte- zumas it ouly had upon its rolls 223 to uphold the proud Palmetto flag. Now, a delegate to the Veterans’ Convention, which meets in Baltimore, who served iu its ranks, informs me that there are only eight of these brave boys now living.” Gen. bhields appealed to the Senate to do something soon, or it would be too late, because the men who con- quered Mexico will bo all dead and beyond the reach of assistance. Philadelphia Times : In Washington there is a crowd of lazzarooi always ready to f >llow a brass band or swarm around a free lunch table. The streets swarm with American citizens of African de scent who have no visible means of sun- port and would not avail themsolves ot any such meant) if they had. Just now this riff raff is being turned to good no- ! count by tho would-be managers of the Grant movement, whoso pleasure it is to keep the movement booming at the ua tional capital for effect upon the nation at large. Such a crowd was marshaled night hi fore last, rag-tag and bob-tail, to welcome John A. I,ogau back to Wash ington. Come and dino with me to-raorroiv,” Bait! Abernethy, the famous English surgeon, to a young medical student from Boston who had brought him a letter of introduction. “Como at six sharp, and I'll give you roast beef, po tatoes with their jackets on and a glass of ns good port as you can get in Lon don; and we’ll drink to tho memory of the greatest man the world ever saw, your American rebel, George Washing ton.” IIow many Am ricans would say as much of one to whom they owe so much. Speaking of the recent railroad hor ror near Selma, the Argus says: Parkcri while living iu a shanty as it were, gave anything and everything he pos sessed to make comfortable those State News. Col. Mark A. Cooperand Col. Stovall were appointed by the Agricultural Convention as immigrant agents for Europe. It is understood that they serve without compensation from the societv. Judge James Jackson, of the Supreme Court, delivered the aunual address be fore the Y. M. C. A. in Augusta, on Sunday the 23d. Savannah has succeeded in effecting a fair compromise with her creditors, and after a fight in counoil agreed on the form of the new bonds. The census taken by the police of Augusta shows a population of 26,876 —whites, 15,246; blacks, 11,628. The suburbs will swell the number to over 30,000. A Henry county citizen came very near losing his life the other night.

The burglar made his escape, and was se oreted for a while by some negroes in the town, but he was subsequently ar rested. On Tuesday night ef last week a mob of armed men visited the jail of Dooly county in Vienna and forcioly broke open the same and liberated two pris oners who were confined therein. One of the prisoners was.iu arrest for mur der under a requisition from the Gov ernor of Florida. The mob fired upon the sheriff, who relumed the fire and wouuded one of the party in the leg. This resulted in his oaptiire. The oth ers made their escape. The perpetra tors of this piece of lawlessness are still at large and are unknown, though sus pioion rests upon certain parties, and officers are on the lookout. Philadelphia Times: “Calm in the reflection that the bulk of the Repub lican cipher dispatches are destroyed, and the wont of them, tho New York Tribune publishes half a dozen which it thinks will bear an innocent con struction, and makes another great cackle. This little telegraphic corre spondence, or so much of it as is given out, was between those pure-minded statesmen, D H. Chamberlain and John Patterson, and J. Donald Cameron. Mr. Chamberlain, at Columbia, telegraphed to Mr. Patterson and Mr. Cameron, at Washington: ‘Situation alarming; Hayes’ vote will be lost unless help comes within twenty-four hours; have Mackey sustained; nothing else will Bave us.’ There are more dispatches from the same to the same, all begging for ‘help’ and urging ‘burry,’ but, curi ously enough, the Tribune gives none of the replies, which would show, per haps, the nature of the ‘help’ wanted and how much of it was obtained. Cer tainly it was obtained, for ‘Hayes’ vote’ was not lost. Perhaps it was troops; perhaps it was money; perhaps it was both. At any rate the Republicans had the longest pole, for they brought down the persimmon.” The Senate Tuesday, by a vote of 25 to 36, refused to take up the resolution declaring David T. Corbin entitled to the seat as Senator from South Caro lina, in place of M. C Butler, the pres- ent incumbent. Messrs.
