Cape Canavarel Oranges.
Mr. Felix Corput seat us yesterday a box of
orangeR from Cape Canavarel, Florida, of a pe
culiarly rich oad delicious flavor. Capo Canava-
rel being below ordinary frost latitude, these
orange-' have all the sweetness of tropical fruit,
and moreover, have been perfectly ripened on
the tree. They are also of large size, free from
blemish, and of a dark reddish golden color. If
Florida can pnt sneh oraDges os these in the
markets of the country, she will occumnlato
wealth very fast. We are obliged to Mr. Corpnt
for remembering ns in his distribution of rich
fruit. It would grace the garden of Hesperides.

The Boss Radical in Despair—No end
to Reconstruction.
The New York Tribune of last Wednesday
says:
On Thursday last a boiler exploded in a saw
mill near Adamaville, McNairy county, Tenn.,
instantly killing B. F. Scott, Wm. Ross, Alonzo
Holman and Mr. Cowall, ail prominent citizens.
The engineer had just left tho engine when the
explosion occurred. The bodies of tho killed
were terribly mangled.

plenty of skilled mechanics, engineers, &c.,
who are ont of employment and wonld jump at
My ohance to get one of the situations in Geor

choly business, when there is so much labor to
be done in thiB world, that anybody should lack
something to do. We file the application for
the benefit of Copley and anybody who may
seed the labor described
Ah Bepeobates !—A correspondent of tho
Uhioago Journal says that the blacks down South
are turning everything into gold and the bro
ken in Macon and other points aro making their
’tarnal fortunes in selling tho negroes gold at
1 ten, yea, even fifteen cents above the mar-
kot'Jttlce. Think of that cruelty to the gold-
buying Africans. Is EUis or Cubbedge doing
that? The brethren North are (various in their
appeals for sympathy for the Ethiopeans, who
are successively murdered, swindled, starved
and now miserably swindled in turning their
surplus gains into gold.
Negbo Labob Unions.—Our Washington cor
respondent says a caucus of “leading Republi
cans" and carpet-bag Senators and Representa
tives in Washington, last week, determined to
send agents of the National Labor Union Con
gress into each State of the South to start Labor
Unions among the negroes. It will be a deci
dedly new and interesting element of fuss aud
feathers when Sonthem planters and house
keepers have to submit to the dogmatism and
despotism of negro labor anions in employing
hands and servants. We will guarantee that
this will raise the price of cotton.
The Cadetship Market.—A Washington cor
respondent of the 21th says:
The House Committee on Military Affairs wa3
engaged to-day in hearing testimony in the case
of a member of the present Honse from Ken
tucky, who is accused of sailing his West Point
cadetship. The father of tho boy who was ap
pointed, and who resides in New York, testified
that he never paid any monoy to the Kentucky
member in question. Other witnesses, however,
testified that both father and son had said that
it cost him him $2,000 to get the appointment,
and that it came from tho Kentucky member
who is accused of selling bis cadetship. The
evidence beforo the committee looks very much
as if the Kentucky member would be expelled.
Mr. Roderick R. Butler, of Tennessee, appeared
before tho committee to-day and mado some
statements relative to the manner in which bo
disposed of his cadetship. Tho committoe af
terwords had a consultation as to what they
wonld do in Butler’s case, which finally resulted
in the adoption of a resolution for Lis expulsion,
to be reported to the House.
Georgia Senators have appeared in duplicate
in Washington in the persons of Messrs. Farrow
and Whitely, beating donbtful and informal
credentials. Into tho validity of their qualifica
tions tho Senate proposes unusually strict in
quiry. We despair of soon reaching the end
of the many complications in the vexationsly
delayed Georgia case.
Let the Tribune take courage. The work of
reconstruction is only just commenced. There
is a generation of it ahead of the republic. He
ought to be patient, seeing that so far the con
gressional part of it is done at the common ex
pense of ell the States and people, bnt the local
part of it is done at the particular and especial
cost of tho tax payors cf Georgia.
We have in this State the novel spectacle of
an agency of Congress paid by the people of
Georgia, on warrants drawn, upon the State
Treasurer of n State which has no legal exist
ence—by & Provisional Governor, who does not
claim to be acting under the Constitution and
laws of Georgia, but under the reconstruction
acts of Congress. Such a condition should be
highly gratifying to the Republicans, by reason
of its vexations and nnjost inflictions npon the
people of Georgia. Let it console the Tribune,
and help him to bear the work of reconstruc
tion, which will most assuredly continue for
many years to come. Wo do not often find
ourselves agreeing with Wendell Phillips, but
we think ho has hit npon the probablo facts of
the casein the following:
“Reconstruction must, therefore, go on in
definitely. We commend tho case of Tennessee
to the immediate attention of Senators and
Representatives; and wo urge the early perfec
tion of tho requisite machinery to exercise
henceforth in all elections involving the choice
of members of Congress, and .of President and
Vice President, national supervision and scru
tiny against fraud, and protection for the citi
zen in the exercise of his political rights, irre
spective of color.”
Reconstruction has substituted another gov
ernment for the old Government, essentially
different in its theory and modus operand! ; and
the attempt to carry on thi3 new government
with the legal machinery of tho old one, must
lead to perpetual embarrassment and perpetual
patchwork. Every department of the govern
ment needs readjustment and roadaptation to
tho demands of the new situation, and every
change creates a still more pressing necessity
1 for farther change. Tim process of reconstruc
tion, therefore, on this new plan, opens on in
definite and almost illimitable field before the
people.
But, we think, the probabilities of the case
are that tho people of the United States will get
very tired of this centralized system of govern
ment, in the coarse of the next ten or fifteen
years, and clamor for a return to local indepen
dence and freedom. The government of a Su
preme Congress, armed with fall power to
dominate over the States in every department
of their administration, will necessarily be un
wise and tyrannical. They could not regulate
State affairs with discretion if they desired to
do it; and tho scheme will end practically, in
regard to all the States, just as it has already
done in respect to the Southern States. The
State affairs will be controlled by knots of trad
ing politicians—party lazaroni and lobbyists in
Washington operating there before Congression
al committees, by button-holing, bribery, forged
affidavits, dinings and winings and all the ma
chinery of corruption which now so notoriously
abounds iu Washington, but which is destined
to swell under this new system to a magnitude
which will take away the breath of honest men,
and make the position of Congressman a more
certain road to wealth than a Roman proconsnl-
ship. The wealth of tho nation will flow there
in bribery either to seonre place, power and
plunder, or wrung from the pockets of tho peo
ple to protect themselves from spoliation and
robbery.
Consider, for illustration, the power of the
Federal government under the Fifteenth Amend
ment and laws made in pnrsu&nce thereof, to
supervise and revise the State elections. This
will probably, in time, appeal every important
State election issue to Congress, and when we
reflect upon the number of these contests, and
tho illimitable ’field for controversy before com
mittees, and the immense chapter of bribery,
corruption and perjnry and partisan fraud and
Atiaata on Lectures.
An Atlanta correspondent sends us an episto
lary opportunity to retaliate on Atlanta for her
pokes at Macon, and invites us to take ven
geance. He says at Woodbury's lecture, which
was a splendid performance, given on a fine
evening at DeGive’s Opera Honse, for the ben
efit of the ' Young Men’s Library Association,
there was an audience of fifty^me, out of a
white population of 15,000 souls. And as most
of them were dead-heads, and tho remainder
gave only fifty cents a piece, the contributions
to the cause of literature fell short
He wants us to give the people of Atlanta
.thunder; but we can’t do it for two reasons.
First, we owe th9 people of Atlanta no debts and
no grndges whatever. Every oneof their knights
who has charged down on Macon with lance
in rest and visor down, has boen so completely
unhorsed that we have been sorry for him.
The knights of the Constitution and New Era
went down so signally, "vainly clutching the sod
as they rolled over, that they have not yet been
able to repair the strain on their nether gar
ments. And, if honor, as Hudibras contends,
is lodged in the breeches, theirs is gone.
Secondly, we wish to deal in all troth and
fairness and call the pot no hard names before
Presentments of the Grand Jury of
Houston County — Spring Term,
1870.
We, the Grand Jurors of Houston eounty,
chosen, selected and sworn for tho February
Term, 1S70, make tho following general pre
sentments:
We have examined the public buildings.
Wo find the jail in bad condition and as for
mer bodies have done, we-recommend anew
one in its stead. The Court-house needs some
repairs in the lower story, otherwise in good
condition. The poor house is all right with
fifteen inmates. We recommend that no ap
plicant he admitted who is able to work for
livelihood. The superintendent informs us
there are some such there at present. We
are compelled to report, as a general thing-
the roads and bridges in bad condition. We
would call the attention of the proper author
ities as follows: The bridge known as Nor
wood’s bridge, is impassable; we recommend
if practicable a ford a lieu of a bridge. The
bridge across Limestone creek, between Perry
and Haynesville, is in bad order; we recom
mend for the present that it be recovered. The
bridge over Mossy creek, near Msjor Wool-
folk's, we recommend when rebuilt, be made
larger. The road leading from the district
line to Sitoa Mill is reported as not having
been worked for over eighteen months. The
road from Fort Talley to Mim’s Mill is in bad
we have cleaned the kettle. On a simple issue I condition. We call especial attention to tho
betw- an Robinson’s circus and a lecture, even j road crossing Ross’ Hill, and recommend that
Macon, we wonld not like to speak unad-i the authorities have it put in good condition
visedly. We will first take the votes, and if the “ —~~ ’ w
majority of the Maoonites go for the lecture,
we will cock-a-doodle-do in a becoming maimer
over the immense superiority of our people
a literary and esthetic point of view. When
we are well assured of the ground we stand on,
there’s no telling what a fight we can make of it.
injustice they will open, every patriotic mind
will stand aghast at tho prospect.
We are confident, therefore, that the scheme
of a central despotism by a supreme Congress
most break down of its own impracticability,
injustice and iniquity, and become, after some
years of experience, abhorrent to every sensi
ble and patriotic man in tho country.
Then what ? Why then we must return to
the good old system of local independence and
State sovereignty. A government of the States
by the people thereof, restricted to tho clear
grants of the old Constitution and their neces
sary incidents. Then the next thing must bo
to lop off all this radical quackery—all these
unsightly and inharmonious cxcreseencies upon
such a system, aud hero is more reconstruction.
And so, what with the work of deranging and
destroying, and tho work of restoring ibe gov
ernment, the business of reconstruction may
go on thirty or more years yet. Phillips is
right—reconstruction must go on indefinitely.
The Blondes Fearfully Avenged.
The following matter, from a sheet poster,
printed iu glaring letters, is tho latest phase of
the controversy between the Lydia Thompson
troupe and the Times:
An appeal to the public of Chicago. The
Times vs. tho Blondes. A gross and outrageous
public insult having been gratuitously offered
to the ladies of the Lydia Thompson troupe by
the Sunday and daily editions of tho Times, we,
toe undersigned, hereby stigmatize W. F. Sto
rey, the proprietor, ns a liar and a coicard, for
uttering that which he knows to be false, in at
tacking defenceless women.

Markham, Nettie Hope, Lina Edwiu, Fannie

Crosby’s Opera House, Chicago, February
Slat, 1870.—Chicago Post.
The grand finale of this rumpus was the cow-
hiding in the street, on his way to dinner, of
Storey, the editor of the Times, by a portion of
the Blonde brigade, led on by Captain Thomp
son.
The appetite of virtuous Chicago for naked
legs, bare bosoms, and yellow hair, must surely
have been failing to necessitate snch a stimulus
as this. Now toe Blondes will play their en
gagements ont to crowded honses.
The Crrr or Boston.—The fate of the steam
ship City of Boston, which left New York on
the 25lh of January, for Liverpool, is still in
suspense. Three days after departure she pass
ed Halifax, sinoe which time nothing reliable
has been heard from her. She was due in Liv
erpool on the 6th nit,, and is therefore twenty-
three days late. The City of Boston, if dis
abled, whether by accident to her machinery or
by a gale, bnt be in a part of the Atlantic
whenoe escape must be very slow. At this sea
son of the year the Gulf stream crosses the
ocean at a lower parallel of latitude than in
summer, and the disabled ship, if such be the
case, would probably be in a part of the sea
where she would find but little if any current
to drift her either towards the Irish coast or to
wards the Azores. Fortunately, the City of
Boston has on board over eighty days’ provi
sions, and it if deemed not improbable that she

All About “Senator” lVhitely.
The Bainbridge Sun, published where the
above distinguished individual resides, favors
the thousands of persons in Georgia, who are
entirely ignorant of his antecedents, with the
following. We had supposed from the flavor of
Whiteley’s radicalism, that he was once a red-
hot secessionist, and now find we were not mis
taken. More shame to him, with such a war
record, that ho should now consort and be one
with the foul faction that never saw a day dar
ing the war that they wonld not, had they dared,
have hung aa a robber or outlaw private or Ma
jor Whiteley. Wo almost loathe tho truth when
it commands us to record the fall of a man who,
in tho service of a dear bnt lost cause, once writ
his name in suoh glowing letters:
B, H. Whiteley was bom in Ireland, of good
parents, and consequently had no advantages
save those with which nature had endowed him.
When quite youpg, he embarked for the United
States in search- of employment, and we first
notice him as a factory boy in Augusta, Geor
gia. From thence ho went to work in the fao-
tory at Athens. While in Athens, Mr. Ira San
born—now deceased—persuaded him to remove
to Decatur eounty by giving him employment
in the Facevillo factory, located some twelve
miles from onr city. It appears that he rapidly
gained favor with manufacturers, for we next
find him as superintendent of the mills of the
old Bainbridge Manufactjuing Company of ante
This colony was the laBt with
helium timer-,
which he was attached.
While with toe Bainbridge Manufacturing
Company he completed the study of law and
was admitted to the bar in this oity. This was
some time before th3 war. Politically, then, he
was a Democrat and favored the election of
Breckinridge and Lane. He supported and
voted for secession; and when war was declared
he volunteered in the second company which
left this city and departed for the scene of ac
tion, in the capaoity of a private soldier. This
company was attached to the 5th Georgia Regi
ment.
As a true and gallant soldier he was un
equalled, and the close of the war found him a
Major of sharpshooters in the noble army of
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
When Milton’s great work first appeared, Ed

port of the Bible cause full of pathos and chaste
ness, reflecting honor npon the speaker and de
lighting and chaining his audience. If we
know what “the right man in the right place”
signifies, we are oertain that in Bro. Parks the

Clover in Hi (Idle Georgia.
R. W. Bonner, of Clinton, Jones county,
Ga., writes as follows to the Talbotton Stand
ard:
In tho fall of 1866, 1 selected about an acre
of grey land with a heavy clay subsoil, and
sowed it in wheat; strewed broadcast fifty
bushels of green cotton seed, and plowed them
in with the wheat; then on the fresh plowed
Jan iso wed six quarts of red clover seed, and
left^Ee ground without brushing or harrow
ing, obtained a fair stand. Tho next summer
I reaped twenty-seven and a half bushels of
whejit from this piece of ground. Suffered
nothing to glean or graze it that year, 1867.
In February, 1868, I harrowed of the old
wheat stubble and woods, which disclosed a
beautiful sward of young green clover two
inches high. I commenced mowing tbe clover
in May, and for six weeks I filled my racks
each night for six head of mules—saving many
bushels of corn and several hundred pounds
of fodder.
I believe it to be the most profitable crop I
ever grew on an aero of hand, of cereals. The
second crop of that year, or aftermath, as it is
called, grew knee high, and loaded itself with
blooms. This, I let calves, sheep and goats
eat, as it is this growth that acts so Dowerfully
on the salivary glands of hirses. Not being
exactly satisfied with the stand of clover, I
again iu the fall of 1868 seeded it to wheat and
clover, with the same application of cotton
seed. I reaped twenty-three and a half bush
els of wheat in 1869; kept off the stock; har
rowed off the old stubble and woods this week,
and the young clover is now 3 to 4 inches
high, owing somewhat to the warm winter for
its size.
Tell “Young Planter,” of Pleasant Hill, if
he has land with a clay subsoil, even if it is
sandy, not to bo discouraged. Manure heavi
ly. and when once the clover roots get down
into the subsoil, it will stand the summer well
and yield him an abundance of forage. Many
advocate sowing in February or early in March
with oats. This certainly will avoid the winter
freezing, which sometimes raj ares the stand of
fall-sowed clover.
Will Gold BIse or Fall ?
The New York Finanoial Chronicle, speculat
ing upon this proposition, says:
We do not propose to solve the problem, but
a few facts may help onr readers to form an
opinion for themselves. 1, The supply on the
market is now extremely large, say about $70,-
000,000; heneo, not only can no interest be ob
tained for it, bnt owners are compelled to pay
a considerable per cents go for having it carried.
If this state of things continues, any upward
movement does not appear probable. 2. 'Last
year, on account of t ae very small export of the
precious metals, the country increased its stook
of gold somewhere about $35,000,000. That
the specie movement the present year will show
a similar result, is for the following reasons not
unlikely: (A.) The unfavorable condition of
bnaineBS does not encoorago large importa
tions, and importers, after their late losses, are
in apoor condition to ran any great risk. (B.)
Oar exports promise, daring the Coming three
months at least to be in exoess of last year’s
movement. We have on hand, for instance,
150,000 bales more Cotton than at this time a
year ago, and our reoeipts are likely to increase
thiR excess. (C.) The movement of our bonds
to Europe will probably be fully as large, if not
larger, than duringl869, as our increased credit
wilt increase the number of investors even at
the advanoed price now current. For these
reasons the retaining of a large portion of our
gold production this year, and thus increasing
our supply is not improbable. 3. The Govern
ment will undoubtedly pay out and sell abont os
much as it receives for duties, so that its opera
tions or necessities will not interfere with the
natural movement Without, then, any large
demand for gold, and with the supply on toe
market increasing, is any very decided reaction
from tho present rate probable during the next
three months ? Of course a speculative move
ment might force gold up in faoe of these
faots.

as early as practicable, as it is altoget 1 ar im
passable. We recommend that, as Road
Commissioners are exempt from jury and oth
er duties, they be required to be prompt in the
discharge of their duty. We recommend a
continuance of the same system of education
as has heretofore existed.
We have examined the books of the Ordi
nary and Clerk of the Superior Court and
find them neatly and oorrectlv kept. The
Sheriff, we find, has his papers well arranged
and easily to be found. The County Treasu
rer has vouchers to support all disbursements
made by him; his books are well kept and of
easy reference; he has on hand lour thousand
dollars. We find from what information we
can get from the county officials, that but few
fines of any grade have been collected, and
but a small portion of that amount has ever
found its way into tbe County Treasury; we
therefore would respectfully ask the assistance
of your Honor, to aid us in having this spe
cies of revenue collected and properly applied.
We also call the attention of the Court to the
fact, that no fines are collected for non-per
formance of jury duty. It has become a pub
lic boast of those Vho are disposed to evade
their duty, that if fines are imposed no money
is ever collected, hence the difficulty of get tin
a sufficient number of jurors. We also ca
tbe attention of the Court to the fact, _ that so
far as we can ascertain no_ bonds for criminals’
appearance for prosecution have ever been
collected, while many have been forfeited. In
examining the finances of tbe county we find
in tbe list of insolvent costs, bills for costs
from Justices for large amounts with no items
specified or papers whereby we could tell
whether correct or not. We also find where
jiartles have been prosecuted and true bills
round against them, that their cases have been
settled or nol prossed and the county taxed
with tbe cost. We respectfully ask the Court
to have the accounts of the county examined,
and have them corrected, because we believe
there are many errors and many exorbitant
charges. In conclusion, we tender our sincere
thanks to His Honor Judge Cole, for his
prompt and efficient manner of conducting
msiness. and courtesy extended to this body:
also to Col E. W. Crocker, Solicitor-General;
for his attention and courtesy to our body.
We recommend that these presentments be
published in the Telegraph and Messen

A true extract from the minutes of Houston
Superior Court, T. M. Killen,
Deputy Clerk,
We take great pleasure in introducing a
“Visitor” and the subject of his letter to our
readers. The establishment of a “Business
College” in Georgia on a permanent footing
should be tho desire of every good citizen, and
the enterprise of Mr. Euston deserves and
should receive tho sympathy and support of
all classes.
We thank “Visitor” for the following ex
tract: ; . :
From the Albany Newti] ■■ . .’j t
Macon, Febra^rjj 25,1870.
Among the various objects.©!’ importance
and attraction Which the visitor/ beholds in
tliis refined and beautiful city, the Georgia
Practical Business College cccupiea a promi
nent position. This most valuable and grow
ing institution was established ahout'two years
ago, and is located in the heart of this intelli
gent and enterprising population. Its course
of instruction consists of four distinct and
separate departments, to-wit: The Commer
cial Department, embracing Penmanship,
Book-Keeping and Commercial Law; the
Mathematical, including Surveying aud Civil
Engineering. The English and the Tele
graphic Departments, each of which has its
own appropriate professor, with competent
assistants. The regular professors of the Col
lege arc B. B. Euston, George R. Levison
and J. T. McGinty. These gentlemen are
eminently qualified for their respective chairs,
and are thoroughly identified with the people
of the South. They have illustrated their
patriotism and devotion to Southern rights
and interests on many a glorious battle-field,
and are iatstrong and abiding sympathy with
the soldiers ofJohnsonandLec. Prof. Eas
ton was connected for a long time with the
celebrated Dolbear College, of Now Orleans,
and has educated many of tho best business
lncn of tho South.
Pro£ Levison, formerly connected with the
business*department of the Eastman College,
New York, an institution favorably known to
the people of the United States. Prof. Mc
Ginty is a graduate of Mercer University,
Ga., a teacher of long experience, and of well
earned reputation. This college is furnished
with »ts own text books, and is not dependent
on the North or the old World for these in
dispensable aids. Itsplaff of instruction is
entirely of a practical character. There arc
no classes, each student being taught individ
ually and separately.. The number of students
now in connection with it, is about forty, and
tho prospects for a much larger attendance are

A Washington dispatch says: “ The cadet
ship investigation is in confusion, and it is diffi
cult to determine to what extent the committee
will farther pash the examination. Letters and
telegrams come to them from all quarters
charging present and ex-members with sales of
cadetships, and one of these tons charged is in
a very high position. Whittemore alleges that
one of the committee who signed the recom
mendation for his expulsion has been in the
business, and that his letters are extant to
prove it. It is expected that Bntler will offer a
resolution instructing the committee to inquire
who it was that offered Kegler five hundred
dollars for WhiUemore’s letter, and report fur
ther says Fernando Wood was that man.”

Great Britain.—The Irish national papers
are not satisfied with the reforms Gladstone’s
Irish land tenors bill promises to introduce in
Ireland. The English press supports the bill.
The Irish members of the House of Lords will
also sustain it in.its present form,
j In the lower House a motion was made to ap
point a special committee for the purpose of as
certaining the amount of expenditures occa
sioned by the Abyssinian expedition. Mr.
Buxton wished to know what course the Gov
ernment wonld take respecting a revised trans
lation of tho Bible. Mr. Brace, the Home
Minister, speaking of the reports concerning
the pretended ill treatment of O. Donovan
Rossa, a Fenian prisoner, denied that any cor-
poreal punishment had been practised upon
any prisoner since 1868.
In tho upper Honse, Lord Chelmsford brought
in a bill to secure a better observance of the
Sabbath. The bill limits, and in some cases
entirely prohibits any trade on Sunday. The
noble Lord thinks that the proposed measure
will stop an increasing evil. The Bishop of
London supported the bill, and the Earl of
Morley announced that it wonld bo also ap
proved of by the government. The Lord Chan
cellor, thinking that Sunday ought to be looked
upon as a day of recreation for all those classes
which toil the whole week, 1 differed from his
peers, and greatly doubted tho wisdom of the
change to be advocated. The bill was admitted
to the second reading.
The English army is said to be reduced by
12,500 men.
English engineers have been granted the per
mission of building a railroad three hundred
miles long, in Japan.
Tho Pacific Steam Navigation Company pro

There was a great deal of uncertainty exist
ing in Ireland as to whether the Fenian organi
zation was also comprised in the Papal edict
which prohibits all secret societies. An edict
of the Notary of the Holy Roman Inquisition,
D. Angelo Argenti, dated January 12th, ends
all doubts in this respect, for it declares ex
pressly that, according to the resolution of the
Holy Father, the American or Irish society,
called the Fenian, is included among those so
cieties which by decree of the Supreme Pontiff
are to be anathematized.
Emigration to the English colonies to be
supported by the Government as a means for
becking the fearfally increasing pauperism, is
discussed with a great deal of interest. The
Tories are very much in favor of the scheme,
bntthe press generally, fo&weighty reasons, does
not think it advisable to send the emigrants
across the sea at the expense of the public trea
sury.
Fbange.—The new ministry continues in the
path of libera! reforms. Complying, with a pe
tition of the Minister of Justice, and imperial
decree repeals the edict of 1851, which empow
ered the government to deport persons belong
ing to secret societies, to Cayenne, or any other
of the French convict-colonies.
A committee of distinguished gentlemen has
been appointed to revise the regulations in the
public administraticn of the Empire.
In the Corps Legislatif, Jules Favre attacked
the home policy ot the ministers. Alluding to
the late nots, he censored the arrest of Roche
fort, and accused the government of wishing to
mislead publio opinion by toe pretended exist
ence of a conspiracy. He demanded that the
Chambers should be dissolved, the majority
there not having been formed by the nation,
bnt by tbe imperial prefects. If tbe ministry
were willing to be truly liberal, be wonld sup
port it; if, however, it continued to be a tool
of the personal empire, he wonld oppose it with
all his might. He charged the present majority
with having decided on the Mexican expedition
by a majority of votes. Count Darn replied,
in the name of the Cabinet, to toe barrangneof
Jules Favre. Declaring against the dissolution
of the Chambers, he stated that the government,
anxious to lay the foundation of a parliamentary
Empire, wished for the preservation of peace
at home and abroad. The Emperor had shown
his readiness to pnrsue a liberal policy. Should
there arise any discord between the Chambers
and the ministry, the Emperor wonld have to
decide, and the ministry weald respect his res
olution.
This wise and patriotic speech of the minister
woo vowiveil iv2ill tixmiusiosnc uppiauuv, cujia
the debates resulted in an annihilating dofeat of
toe opposition, 236 votes being for the ministry,
against 18 for the opposition.
The preliminary examinations of those ar
rested in the recent disturbances have been ter
minated. One hundred and eight people have
been set at liberty unconditionally; one hun
dred and twenty-five have been summoned be
fore the Coarts, and one hundred and fifty have
been remanded to prison for having conspired
against the State and the life of the Emperor.
The editors of several papers have been sen
tenced to imprisonment and to pay an addition
al fine, ranging from 500 to 2000 francs.
Rochefort is continuing in compulsory lone
liness. He complains of tbe police prefeot who
seizes his leading t^rticles written for “La Mar
seillaise.”
North German Confederation.—The polioy
of Bismarck was bitterly attacked in the North
German Rekckstag. Besides the budget for
1871 a number of important measures will be
submitted to the representatives of the Con
federate States. Among these we may mention
the new criminal code, the new law of naturali
zation, and the proposed alterations of the copy
right laws as to books and photographs.
Austria.—Tho recent report, circulated by a
Parisian paper, that tbe Archduchess Elizabeth
of Austria had fled to America has proved to be
canard. She is represented as a devoted wife,
an excellent mother and a great benefaotress of
the poor.
Spain.—Tho Carlista aro making busy pre
parations for another rising in tlia Spring.—
Isabella is distributing her gold freely to her
oarlizans. Several Carlistio chiefs are said to
iiavo arrived in Spain from France. General
Ramon Cabrera, the famous Carlistio partiz-tn
of the first Pretender, declined to assume the
command of the movement without a regular
army and a preconcerted basis of operation.—
Exciting debates respecting tho adoption of the
now Constitution for Porto Rico, aro anticipated
in the Cortes.
Italt.—Severalforeign correspondents, among
them also the correspondent of the TimeB, have
been expelled from Rome. Friedrich, tho Se
cretary of Cardinal Hohenlohe, has likewise re
ceived the order of leaving tho Papal dominions.
Ho is suspected of having furnished the Roman
correspondence to the celebrated German paper,
Augsborger Allgemeine Zeitung. The Curia
has rewarded three of her faithful followers, the
Bishops of Antwerp, Malines, and Salerno, with
tho title of Primate. Tho Syllabus has now
been laid before the Connoil, in twenty-one
Ca nones de Ecdcsia, which declare war to the
modern State and our whole modern society.—
Accnrsed is every one who assumes that good
men, no matter what creed they profess, wiilbe
saved. Accursed is he who advocates toleration.
Accursed i3 he who admits that the Church ean
change in any space of time, or that she is ex
posed to revolution, or susceptible of purifica
tion. Accursed is the man who calls in ques
tion tho riijht of the Church to burn heretics,
or denies her snpremaoy over the State. Ac
cursed aro all those who cavil at the temporal
power of tho Pope, or doubt the claim of unin
terrupted apostolic succession from Peter to
Pius IX. It wonld bo no easy matter to say
who esoapes the Papal anathema in these won
derful canons. No one is seonre from the pon-
tificial malediction, unless he adopts the entire
Syllabus from beginning to end and obeys its
behests in practical life. What the number of
the believers will be is a question we are unable
to answer, bnt there is no doubt that its solu
tion will greatly contribute to fix the verdict
which the future historian will pass npon the
civilization of the nineteenth oentury.
The pretensions of the Ninth Ecumenical
Council offer a striking contrast to the Second
General Council of Constantinople. The Im
perial Library of Paris possesses a very valua
ble manuscript of the sermons of Gregory of
Nazianzen, copied for the Emperor Basil tho
Macedonian, (867-886) and adorned with illu
minations, the most remarkable of which repre
sents the Second General Counoil of Constanti
nople, (381,) at which Gregory himself was
present The seats of the bishops are arranged
a semicircle before the throne, to the left of
which the Emperor Theodosios the Great is
seated on an elevated ohair. The throne itself
vacant, bnt beneath the canopy reposes a
great open book, the Holy Scriptures, to inti
mate that God alone is to preside as the Supreme
Judge in the Counoil.
It is confirmed that the Pope declined to ao-
cept the address against infallibility, signed by
137 American, German, French, Italian, Aus
trian and Portuguese bishops.
Great sensation was created by the treatment
the Patriarch of Chaldea, a venetable old man
of 78 yean, met with. He had requested an
other prelate to deliver a speech written by
himaalf before tbe Council, in whito M begged
permission to Pekin toe undent eastern* si his
Church, and to lay them in a new collection be
fore the Council. At the same time he cau
tioned against innovations which might bring
rain npon the Oriental Church, Immediately
after the session the Pope sent for him ; he was
not allowed to take anybody with him save Val-
ergo, an Italian and devoted follower of the
Curia. He found Pius IX greatly excited, and
after many harsh words he was ordered to re
sign his offioe, or to give op his ecclesiastical
rights and privileges. He chose the fatter.

Boris in Horses.—A subscriber who believes
that “a great many horses are killed by the
bot grubs in this section” wishes a remedy,
is a remarkable fact that though every quack
horse doctor in the land attributes all sorts of
evil and fatal effects tothebot grub, no edu
cated veterinarian believes that they do much
harm. The best books on the diseases of the
horse say, they do little or'no harm; and tho
man of all others who made the different kinds
of hot flies and grabs his especial study (Bracy
Clark, V. 8.) thinks, they do good, rather than
harm. Ono thing is certain—there is only ono
thing to be done—that is let them clone. They
are now nearly full grown and will detach them
selves and quietly pass out in the course of the
season. . r
Salting Cabbage Plants.—“G. W. T.
Rahway, N. J., considers salt necessary to the
best development of tho cabbage, especially *
places far from the coast. Ho finds them more
crisp, of better flavorj and to keep better when
salt is nsed, than without. Hs uses it as fol
lows: “A few days after setting ont the plants,
and when they are damp, either after a rain
when the dew is on, I take a small dish of fine
salt and walk among the rows, sprinkling a little
pinch of Balt on the centre leaves of each plant;
when toe leaves begin to grow, I repeat the
salting, and when the oentre leaves begin to
form the head, I apply salt again, scattering
over the leaves; after this I look them over
occasionally, and if I find any plants that do
not head well or appear diseased, I sprinkle the
salt over freely; tius will save all such plants.
A quart of salt is sufficient for 500 plants in
season, although more can be nsed with safety.
Trouble With a Seed Drill.—A subscriber
of the Agriculturist, in Georgia, writes that he
has bought a wheat drill, that it sows dry wheat
well, bnc it will not sow wheat that has been
treated with a solution of blue vitrioL Neither
would it do so after the wheat had been rolled
in ashes to dry it If the difficulty is not over
come, he says the drill is of no use to him. He
does not mention the name of toe drill- With
: cup” drill, we have never had any difficulty
in sowing vitrioled wheat The only remedy
we can think of is to nse a stronger solution of
vitriol. Turn over the wheat repeatedly,
ran it through a fanning mili until it becomes
dry enough to sow. The vitriol will not injure
the wheat if kept dry for several weeks before
sowing. Ashes or Ume should cot be mixed
with the wheat immediately, as they will neu
tralize the vitriol But after the appication has
destroyed the fungus on the wheat, the ashes or
lime would probably do no harm.

The New York Tribune gives U3 this ap
palling record of suicides in that city for the
past year, showing the favorite methods of
self-destruction adopted by the unhappy
wretches:
We have already had four suicides in the
city this year—the double suicide (as we must
call it) in Elizabeth street, the suicide of a
rich young man in Fifth avenue, and the sui
cide of a poor old woman in Division street
Ono of these victims used a razor, another a
rope, and the other two were taken off by a
revolver. One of these self-murders was in
duced by intolerable grief, another by dread
of destitution, and the double suicide was the
climax of a guilty amour.
We had in the city last year no less than
111 cases of suicide, 80 of which were men
and 31 women. Of tho men, 26 shot thorn-
selves, 23 poisoned themselves, and 18 hung
themselves; but of the women none resorted
to shooting, and only one hung herself. Pois
oning and drowning were the most common
modes of self-destruction among the women.
Fifteen of the female suicides poisoned them
selves, 10 drowned themselves: and nf
otters three stabtea themselves, two cut their
throats, and one jumped from a window. Of
the whole number of suicides nearly one-half
(or 50) were Germans, while 25 were Ameri
can and 20 were of Irish nativity. The record
is at once appalling and disgraceful.

MODEST VILLAINY.
The Elevated Railway in Greenwich street,
New York, is now completed for its entire
length, from the Battery to Thirtieth street.
The motive power of this road is stationary and
consists of seven engines, each with two oscilla
ting cylinders, nine inches in diameter and
fourteen inoh stroke, and of thirty horse power.
These engines are situated in vaults under the
sidewalk, and are placed at intervals along the
line. The engine for each division tnrna

passing round a cylinder at the other ex
tremity of the section. Attached to this rope
at distances of one hundred and fifty feet,
are small tracks with diminutive wheels,
which rnn on a wooden truck underneath and
between the main truck. These tracks are
armed with a small slot, to and from which the
passenger ears can be attached and detached by
a lever in front, under the control of the con
ductor. The passenger ears inn on eight
wheels, and are built on a framework, protected
by eliptio springs from the sudden jar of the
rope when the connection is made with the
track. The wheels of the car are of wood, with
Iron tyres, and the motion is nearly noiseless.

Tlie Accident on the Mississippi Cen
tral Railroad.
Memthi3, February 26.—The Ledger’s Ox
ford, Mississippi, special correspondent soys
that 17 persons were killed by the railroad
accident, among whom were Colonel Spears, of
Brandon, Mississippi, McDonald, road master,
two ladies and two children, names unknown.
The remainder of the killed, with but few ex
ceptions, were emigrants en rente to Texas.
Fourteen or fifteen passengers were wounded,
several fatally; Sam Tate, President of the
read, slightly; also J. McConnico and son.
McDonald’s body was horribly mangled and
hardly reoognizable. The train, with the ex
ception of tho engine, is a complete wreck.
A special train from Louisville was only half
an hour behind tho wrecked train, with a large
party of Northern and Western railroad men
with their ladies, and a few passengers, includ
ing John E. Russell and wife, J. W. Simonton,
general agent of the Associated Frees, and wife,
of New York, and Mr. Gowen ot New Orleans.
The party are all safe and assisated in succoring
the viotims. The woundod were chiefly brought
to Oxford, where the citizens proffered every
assistance. H. O. McCarty, mail agent of the
train, was slightly hurt, but declined medical
aid. The southward bound passengers will pro

In accordance with a published notice, a

was held at Union League Hall to-day. Re

accompanying the Massachusetts troops at the
beginning of the war, saved the Government.
One of them remarked that although but few
persona were there present, this was only the

mired Batter, he thought this movement was
premature and would do him more harm than
good. Few colored persons were present, and
the band of the same race played daring inter
vals of speaking. A resolution was adopted
tendering thanks to Butler for his services in
