Spaliling, Monroe, Bibb, Muscogee and Butt*. Affairs in unhappy France are not yet settled or likely to be. Judce Humphries an old and prominent citizen of Jones county is dead, Tiie Boston Courier announces that Gen. Toombs will soon visit the North. PniLOSf piif.k Tilton, says he is “not op posed to Grant, hut simply wants his civil service to end with his present term. The New York Sun, condems the idea that Mr. Stephens can possibly prove to be a successful Journalist. CniEF Justice Cuase is “Slated" to visit Europe this Summer, arranging, we sup pose, for a Presidential nomination. The Supreme Court of Georgia which only adjourned a few weeks ago, meets again on the second Mondnv in July. Late reports have it, that Cabral and bis armies have surrendered to President Baez. This leaves San Domingo, with one govern ment. The New York Sun, hoists at its mast Head, the name of the great, good, pure and noble Horace Greeley, of Texas and New York, for the next President,. Tiie Ku Klux Committee are getting very tired of their job, since recent testi mony goes very far to disprove the many slanders recently set afloat by the Radicals. The Constitution in the recent Blodgett, Gaskill & Co’s., rascality, says, either Mr. Dobbins or the State has been swindled out of over eight thousand dollars. The Ohio Republicans “shelved" old Ben. Wade. This, to say the least of it, is a stern rebuke to the administration and the San Domingo “job " It is now generally understood that Fish has resigned hio place in the Cabinet and that his place will be filled by the appoint ment of Senator Morton, of Indiana. Tiie Seago-C' mnany, which proposed to lease the State Road, has become suspicious of Blodgetts interest with the Brown-Com pany, and at a recent meeting read him out of their company. The New York Herald has declared against the Radical assaults upon constitu tional liberty, and may now be sot down as an anti-departurist, and a Bourbon—Sen sible. There is this summer, more than an average of travel to Europe. Almost every Steamer leaving any of the American ports for Europe is crowded with pleasure seek ers. The "Democrats oi New York are to have a grand rally on the 4th ot July at Tam many Hall. Gov. Hoffman is to speak. He had better steer clear of the “New De parture* doctrine. President Grant is now enjoying his imported Havanas, (presents) ice lemonades, and probably stronger drinks, together with evening rides, in fine “turn outs/’ (pres ents) at Long Branch. The Ohio Republican State Convention has declared against universal amnesty. If all the Republican conventions in the United States will so declare, victory is in our reach, notwithstanding the disturbance about the recent “departure." Mr. Stephens, utfines our friends of the North to be; those who will continually oppose usurpation on the part of any man or set of men at the head of the Federal Government, and those who will unflinch ingly advocate constitutional liberty. Bismark, the wily Prussian Premier, has notified France that tho German indemnity roust be paid at once, or he will get in a bad humor. This means that he is prepar ing to take from France another territorial “slice" Judge W right has decided, that as to whether or not the last Legislature, at its last sessions, legally prolonged its time of setting beyond the forty days, prescriped by the constitution, is a political qoestion and not a poper matter for the courts to pass upon. The stock holder.- pt the Ma on & West ern Railroad, had a meeting recently. There is 25,000 shares of stock in the com pany. There was present at the meeting, 18,261 shares of the Stock. A vote was taken on the recent lease of the Road to the Central and resulted in 11,036 shares of stock for the lease and 7 2'5 against it. To Our Exchanges.— We will be greatly obliged to our exchanges if they will state that lion. Alexander 11. Stephens, the Political Editor of the Sun, has not removed to Atlanta, but still resides in Crawford ville, Georgia, and should be addressed at that place. Letters on business connected with the Sun office should not be addressed to h«m ; only such as relate to the politics, of the paper, or political communications intended to.be.. published in our columns, should be sent to Mr. Stephens. All letters on business should he address ed to the manager,. Mr J. Ilenly Smith, Atlanta, Ga .—Atlanta Sun, 2 9th. Alabama anti Chattanooga Railroad. The United States District Court a few days ago, declared the above road bankrupt and put into involuntary bankruptcy. The Circuit Court has had the matter before it on appeal, and rendered the decision of the District Court. The railroad is again in this hands of its owners, and rightful officers, and the people of Chattanooga are greatly rejoiced. Macon and Western Railroad l»ease. Judge Alexander, who presided last week in Macon to hear the application for an in junction against the lease of the M. <fc W. R R., to the Central Road, has delivered a very lengthy decision in which he decides that the M. & W. R R., could under its charter, lease its property, but denying that the Central had a right to become the lessee. The decision in our judgement is right and we hope the Supreme Court, has nerve enough to sustain it.. Something must be done, or the Central road will verj sood control the Btate. Col. It. T. Doyal’g Address. We received this evening a copy of the very chaste and elegant address delivered before masonic fraternity at Newnan, on the 24th inst., by Col. L. T. Doyal, of Griffin. It is a very difficult matter f<*r any one to be entirely original in handling sub jects of this kind, about which so much has been spoken and written, but the Colonel throughout his long address was far, very far from imitation. The address is among the best we have ever read. Wo regret vary much, owing to its length, ourinalility to give it a p'aoe in one 1-01110108. Greeley lias made much reputation as an agriculturist by his recent trip to Texas. Ilis advice to the Texas people was very appropriate, and had “the ring" of the true “pbilosphor." He advised the people not to allow the “butter milk" and “sweet milk" cows to rnn together, and also “that the cotton which bore the red bloom made the finest staples, and it would be a decided improvement on the cotton, if planters would pull or knock every morning, the white blooms. The old philosopher will be President yet. Blodgett and Gaskill. These twin brothers—State Road and State Treasury “suckers" were indicted recently by the Grand Jury of Fulton county, for “larceny after trust, Ac., because of the careless manipulation of a few thous and dollars of the money of the State, or, of Miles G. Dobbins. B'odgett replies—we mean of course the Hon. Senator—through the newspapers showing that a claim of Dobbins’ for damages in the shipment of some cotton, was settled for about sixteen thousand dollars by his note as Superin tendent of the State Road, and delivered to Gaskill as the counsel of Dobbins, which was subsequently paid. This showing if correct, shifts the onus to “Varney," and he too, imitating his old companion, writes a note in which he says, that he was to have all he could get, either by suit or otherwise, over seven thousand dollars. This if true, relieves “Squire Varney" also. While we have no special reason (but on general account we might), to doubt the statement, we will, however, say that “Varney” got a very übusuhl fep, and Dob bins of late has grown r.» bp vpry liberal. About Platforms. When Thomas Jefferson delivered his first inaugural address, he laid down what he conceived to be the principles of govern ment. They are as follows : “Equal and pxact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuation. religious cr political. The support of the state governments in all their rights as the surest, bulwarks against anti republican tendencies. The preservation of the general govern ment in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad. A jealous care of the right of election by the people. Absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of repub lics. from which there is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism. The supremacy of the eivil over the mili tary authority. Economy in public expenses, that labor may be lightly burdened. Encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its band-maid. The honest payment of our debts, and sacred preservation of the public faith. The diffusion of information, and ar raignment of all abuses at the bar of pub lic reason. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom ofthe press, and freedom of person, under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trials by jury impartially splpcted." We most heartily endorse the above as the tenets of our political faith and for all time to come, with this single addition ; that the E ectoral College should be abol ished and the President an! V ce-Presiflent elected directly by the people. No one knew better than Mr. Jefferson, the true nature of our Government, the exact rela tions the States bore to the General Govern ment, what rights were reserved to the States and what powers delegated by the States, to the Federal Head. Id short, he was thoroughly acquainted with the men and times that made our govornment, and we are te-day. indebted to him more than to any other, for many of the must sat red prin ciples of our (intended) free government, with principles every lover ofConstitutional liberty should revere. The Democratic party could adopt no truer wiser or patriotic pFetfurm in the annro»chin e election. The New Y rk eon espm.dent of the Charleston News says there is a movement being matured among certain prominent Democrats in that city to push John Quin cy Adams, of Massachusetts, for the Presi dential nomination, on the ground that he possesses the most elements of availability. Communicated.] Messrs. Editors:—The patrons of Otk Grove Academy and citizens generally, fr »m town and the country, were very highly entertained on Wednesday .night last, by the exhibition given by the school of Mr. McMichael at that place. The speeches of the young men and hoys were very fine. The compositions read by the Mis-es were beautiful and appropriate— some ns good as we have ever heard on such occasions. The evening’s entertainme.nt was interspersed with chaste and well selected charades, dialogues, delineations. &c., which were well rendered by all, and appreciated by the large and attentive audience. The speeches, compositions, and the general demeanor of the students speak very highly for our young friend, Mr J. C. McMichael, as a thorough teacher. It is to be hoped tlfafc the patrons of Oak Grovp Academy will be fortunate enough to keep their present teacher for some time to come. Spectator. A Singular Statement —Toe New York Herald of the 18th contains a statement in connection with the manner and cau*» of the death of Mr. Vallandigham, which, if ffue, 'Suggests some possible foul dealing by siime unknown party. Here is the state ment in question : There is a mystery connected with the manner of the accident, which is here com mented on because u explained. It seems that on the previous evening. Mr. Vallan digharn had been using an unloaded pistol iti experimenting, and that he had told Governor Moßurney after the accident that he had picked up the wrong pistol, that the other one was unloaded. Gov. Mcßurney ex unified the other pistol and found that it wns also loaded. lb>w came the pistol also to he loaded ? Was Mr. VaJandigham mis led by wicked designs nr an accdent. the result of carelessness? These are the ques tions which are asked, but not answered. There may he, and doubtless is nothing in them but speculation, but that Mr Vallaii dighara thought that at least one 01 the weapons was unloaded is certain, whether the mistake was his or that or some other person. Akerman, Attorney General Aker man is sure to retire from the Cabinet. Ilis place is either to be filled by Solicitor General llristow or General J-din M. Ilarlin. of Kentucky. Either of them would verv ably fill the post for which according to the constitution, a man learned in the law shall he chosen, and Attorney General Akermun, although quite learned in law that is to be picked up in a long Georgia practice, has, according to common report, not displayed that erudi tion arid profundity in the more abstru-e matters ot national jurisprudence that that good old instrument requires.— Sew York Herald. The Herald gets Akerman out of the scrape at the expense of Georgia. It inti mates that that functionary knows as much law as could be obtained in a long Georgia practice, but that some other schooling is nec.ssary to make an Attorney General. The Herald is surely joking. Georgia has furnished several vpry able Attorney Generals for the United States. N"t the least conspicuous among them was the Hon John McPherson Berr*‘in. an able and learned, as luminous and distinguished a lawyer as ever shone in the legal records of the country. It won’t do, Mr. Herald. Akerman’s in competency and failure are Akerman’s natter and not Georgia’s.— Constitution. Wliat » u JLic 1 There are purist who maintain that all deception, every attempt to mislead or put upon a false scent, a lie; that every act of domestic strategy comes under this denomi nation, and is therefore a lie ; but this will not hold. Lies have to do with words. Birds and beasts are often cunning deceiv ers, but to lie is strictly humah. The lips speak guile, the hand in lites it. To enlarge the field of lying, is virtually to tolerate it. In seeming to be more strict, we become less so. The person who argues that. Lord Chesterfield’s man of the world, who accosts with smiles men whom he would much rather meet with swords, is a liar, opens the floodgates to verbal falsehoods. We cannot do without some politic dissimulation of expression ; we do not allow ourselves the luxury of babling countenances, hot prefer to keep our thoughts to ourselves. If tnis is lying, as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb, and lie loudly and persistently whenever it subs us Os course we much prefer a countenance that tells us the mind behind it to one that conceals it ; but this not hinder the frankest from the occasi >nal necessary deception of bUndness and smiles. No doubt Horner’s “honest face, which had all the commandments written on it,” was equal to this degree of untruth. N"W can we tie less lenient to tho innocent wiles and subterfuges of gayety : “When melanchullv bad her look, Then mirth was in her heart.” Ilypocrit-y may ndt-ed be a course of lying, but not necessarily through deliberate, spoken falseaood. M Vambrey gives it as bis opinion that the Dervish’s ch>ak is the ue plus ultra of hypocrisy—a patchwork >f jugged rags, tacked together with pack thread without, and often lined with rich silk within— an acted falsehood, yet it would serve the wearer little if his tongue wpre n -t ready on all occasions to back it.—Sat urday Reviexo. Tns Episcopal Church in Georgia —the F-irty Ninth Annual Convention —From the Journal of the Forty-ninth Annual Con vention of the Protestant Episcopal Church fo* the Diocese of Georgia, we learn that nineteen parishes were represented hr Con vention. From abstract of Parochial rbport for ’7O to May. ’7l, the toal baptisms in the Diocese and for the year, 550; confirma tions, 282; present number of c-mmunicants 3.220; Sunday School scholars, 2,261; teachers, 307 ; whole amount of contribu tions from eommwnion aims missions, and oth» r charitable objects, $54 240 19; com* tribomms from the widows and orphans’ fund f-r the vear, $1 516 78. whole fund, $5,899 62; bishop’* fund, $6,868 27. The eloquent and devoted diocesan of Georgia, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Beckwith, in his address to the clergy and laity of the State, speaks encouragingly of the growth of toe Church ; states that notwithstanding the many pecuniary difficulties encountered “her increase has been greater than in any one 1 err of her existence in Georgia.” We find from the Journal that there are thirty four of the clergy in Georgia. Lay dele gates to the Convention fifty-four. It is to be regretted that out of tbesp hut twenty seven were in attendance. Chronicle and Sentinel. The Georgia Prc»i. The Weekly Republican says: Another dissatisfied set wants us to “pitch into” everyt>< dv and everythii g that doesn’t suit them. We are out of that work, now ; as there’s no money in it, aud that is what we need, so, if you want things overturned, ••ante up.” The Chronicle and Sentinel of the 23d. says the dog catchers did not do a very j»ood business yesterday- Only filteen or twenty Canines were caught and imprisoned. Albany is quite healthy for this season of the year. The Clipper has the following: Fleas and red-bugs are epidemic in War renton, judging from the erratic m<*vements of many of our acquaintances, especially those wi-o spent Fr day at Flat R >ck. The wicked flea, where no man pnrsueth, And red-bugs crawl where?-no man kcoweth. 'I ne Sandersviile Georgian has this: Mr Herman informs us that be has already some three hundred laborers engaged for planters in this county—staunch men —ar.d new orders constantly being received, lie will leave for Europe in a lew week*, of which due notice will be given. It ass »rds us pleasure to say that we have known Mr. H long and well, and cheerfully recommend him to any who may desire to procure this kind of labor, lie is in regular oorre with parties in Europe who rep resent many of the laboring cla*s in tern* tory recentl y ceded to Prussia as exceedingly anxious to immigrate. They are said to be good people, left destitute by the fate of war. and only awaiting an opportunity to leave for the inviting homes off.-red them in the S -utn. They are honest tillers of the soil there and would add greatly to the laboring force here. Would like to see about five hund'-ed of them bringing buck the waste places <*f Washington county.

It is very thrilling to watch the buckets of per spiration flow from the marble brows of tfce players when the wrong msn pots down the right bower. ” Pope Pius IX completed the twenty-fifth year of his Pontifical reign on the 16th inst. But two of his long line of predecessors have filled such a term. The Catholics will rejoice when they learn of the long and eventful reign of their venerable father.

The “New Departure,” and . what it Means. Two things are very important to be ob served by those who essay to enlighten the public, and especially by conductors of the press, to whom that public looks for face ®od unerring judgments .T.ne first is to comprehend aright the subject under dis> cussion. The s- oond is. to discuss it fairly. Very much has been said about what is called the “New Departure,” or the course of the Democratic party in the N .rthern States with regard to the recent u-urpations ~f the Radical faction. Some have given <>ne version of their action, and some anoter, while a few have boldly declared that it abolished all distinction between the two parties so far as the South is concerned, and made it b matter of ind fference wheth* er she supported one or the other. We think this a superficial, if not a pre judicial and unfair view of the case. We have r* ad the resolutions of the Ohio and of the Pennsylvania Democratic Conven tions, and while we claim to be as jealous of the rights of the Staips aud as inimical to all Federal usurpations as the most, ultra of our section, we have uoc arrived at any i-ueh conclu'don. What and * the Northern Democracy propose to do ? A corn ct answer to this question is a necessary first step in the argument. Have they recommended a»» approval or e/i --dorsement of the amendments recently en grafted on the constitution by the Radical party ? They certainly have not, so tar as we have seen, arid we have carefully read re-read all their proceedings. Do they approve the manner in which those amend ments became part of the cjnsMtunon and declared that it was legal and regular ? If they have, we have yet to seewthe evidence of the fact. Nothing of the sort appears either in the Ohio nr P-nnsylvania resolu ti >ns* Do they declare that th se amend ments ere to be regarded ass >rever sacred and binding upon the American people a* a full and final settlement of the subjects to wdiich they relate? Il they do, take the record and point us to the cause. We un hesitatingly assert that nothing of the sort is to be found. Then what do they sav—what position do they take? Simply, il we und* rsmnd them, that the amendments have in point of tact become parts if the Constitmtion—that they were put there and proclaimed as parts ol the Cons'irution by and authority which whether legal or not. had the power to put them there —that they are de facto parrs of the constitution, “acconplished facts,” and to be obeyed so long as they remain there. They are not approved either in substance or the manner of their creation, but simply acknowledged ns fact, exiting against our will and voice, but still existing. *iey have not been declared legal nor has any pledge heeen entered into to keep them there, but, simply to yield obedience to them while there, a doty which we could not avoid if we would, for there is a power to enforce it, and it would certainly be exer cised. So far from endorsing or approving anything, the eon vocations of both States de nounced the wh-de series of usurpations as dangerous to the States and popular liberty. And where is the crime in thi* ? Have we not in Georgia been doing the same •bir.g for these two or three years past? Was th'ere ever a more glaring usurpation than the present Constitution of our State. ? Who made it? The representatives of the people of Georgia, the only persons com petent in law to such work ? All will , answer “No ” and yet we “acquiesce” in and “accept” it—we obev it. Who created the last Le gislature of Ge. rgia the people of the State? Was there ev*r congregated on earth a hand <*f conspirators and usur pers more deetitue of legal authority and more defiant of all law and the popti ar will than that ? And yet we call tfs enact ments hncfa. ar.d dai y admin ster them in our courts —wp “accept” and “acquiesce’* in them for we can do no better. In ah this we are doing practically just what the Democracy of Onio ar.d Perm>y vania, pro pose to and > with regard to Federal usurpa tions—tolerate, acquiesce in them until the people come to th»*ir senses, regain their lost powers, and see the dreadful extremity to which they have be» n brought in their moments of madness and tin ier the heavy hand of the oppressor — Sav Republican. Music can no longer be considered a lux* ury. and those who epen I fabulous sums in purchasing Sheet Music are simpiy throw irg their money away. If our musical friends will take the trouble to procure a copy of Peters’ Musical Monthly, they will see what their wiser friends are doing namely, getting better Music at one and two cents a piece than they are buying a f thirty, forty, and fifty cents. Each num ber ot this valuable publication contains tbirty-six pages of Music, printed from full-size music-plates, embracing Sacred Secular Songs, Duets, Choruses, Pulkasr Waltzes, etc., in every issue. The July number commences Volume VIII., andetmains thirteen pieces of Music, neatly bound, that would cost just four dol lars and fif'y cents? in sheet* form. You can get it by mail, post-paid, by sending thirty cents to J L. Peters. 590 Broadway, New York. C« TTON Look* Gloomy in Wilks. — An intelligent planter in Wilks county writes to his factor in this city: “Asa general thing, the cotton crop is very poor. The stand is bad and the cultivation is worse in many instances. I have three hundred acres ?n cotton this year and do not think I will make aa m»ob cotton as I did last year, with two hondred a**res planted. This is the condition of all this section. My wheat crop was splendid, yielding twenty bushels to the acre. My oats I will not attempt to harvest. They are not worth rhe time hod labor.”— Chronic e and Sentinel.
