MACON, JULY 19 1870
The Agency,
We see from the Atlanta papers, didnothingon
tnesday but debate and dispose of a resolution in
each House to seize the money belonging to
the School Fond. The resolutions were dis
posed of as reported.
jn the Senate, Mr. Speer, of the committee
to examine into the condition of the peniten
tiary, submitted a report. The committee
found the number of oonvicts, 496, aa follows:
Whites—males, G9; females, 1. Negroes—
Males, 304; females, 1C. The committee re
view, at length, the condition of the prisoners
and make some suggestions. Of the alleged
maltreatment of convicts in the employ of Grant
& Alexander, thoy say:
Great complaints of abuse of this authority
have been made against overseers employed by
Messrs. Grant, Alexander & Co. Much evi
dence has been adduced on this subject, and,
if true, certainly should be corrected. But how
to correct a complained of evil of this character
is a difficulty that no one can fully appreciate
until it has been more than ordinarily studied.
And they recommend the Governor, to instruct
the Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary to re
quire of the lessees prompt traumittals to him
of all exemplification papers of convicts, as
they are received by them; also, to make to
him monthly reports, stating the names of all
convicts in their charge; the names of all con
victs who died, escaped, or were pardoned, or
discharged during the past month: also, to in
struct the Principal Keeper to visit places oc
casionally where the convicts are kept, and to
inspect the prisoners and verify these monthly
reports, and to require the • lessees to abate the
causes of complaint referred to in this report,
as follows:
That all labor on the Sabbath day, by the
oonvicts, except such as is absolutely neces
sary, shall be forbidden and prevented; that
all gaming at cards and dice, and other im
moral practices on the Sabbath, shall be pre
vented. And that no convict shall, in any in
stance, receive more than twenty-five lashes,
and only that number in presence of thelessees,
nn/t not more than ten lashes shall be inflicted
upon a convict by any overseer, especially
authorized to inflict whipping by the lessees, in
the absence of the lessees. And that no con
vict shallbe whipped twice for the same offense,
nor twice on the same day.
The whipping of females upon their naked
person shall be prohibited. And the hours of
labor shall be considered from the time the
prisoners are ordered out to work in the morn
ing to the time they return to the stockade or
quarters, deducting the time allowed them for
noon. Also, that the Governor cause the At
torney General to review the testimony, here
with submitted, in reference to the property
there referred to, and if thought necessary by
the Attorney General, that he shall be required
to bring suit for the same. Also, that the Gov
ernor be instructed to require the performance
of religious service to the convicts every Sab
bath day; and that all facilities for this pur
pose shall be given by the lessees, consistent
with the safe keeping and discipline of the
prisoners.
Chinese Shoemakers.
The Boston Post reports from North Adams
that the Chinamen are surprising every body
with their quiet industry and progress in the
at of making shoes. The work already turn
ed «ut is pronounced above the average of the
Crisping, and much more faithful; which we
may wehbelieve, as really the chief art in this
NewEnglaiq manufacture is the art of slighting
and covering^ so as not to be detected. Ev
ery thing is sacrificed to rapidity, and the Chi
naman has n«t yet been inducted into that part
of the mystery
The Crispin: have given np the idea of fight
ing the Chinese—some have left, others betaken
themselves to oher labor—some are living on
the Union tilowmce of ten dollars a week—
while othes have left the organization, and
work npon he sonnd principle of accepting
what their Ifoor will command. The corres
pondent says nearly all the Crispins in North
Adams were foreigners—principally French
Canadians, whch accounts for their tenderness
on the subject tf the rights of loyal American
labor.
Attack on the finooL Fund.—The Atlanta
Agency, on Tuesday seemed to have enter
tained some thoughts^ paying themselves for
their valuable serviceamt of the school fund,
contrary to the constitnjon, but thought better
of it, and tabled in the 'enate and indefinitely
postponed in the House a resolution for that
purpose. We ore glad tha they refrainedfrom
taking their nine dollars p& flay and mileage
out of the school fund. Thtt pay is justly due
from the Federal Goverame*. According to
Bullock and the Radicals they re the agents of
the Federal Government, emplved in torment
ing and harrassing the people objeorgio, under
the authority and direction of thqjnited States.
By every rule of law and justio their pay is
due out of the Federal Treasury^nfl finding
the State strong box empty, the} should go
boldly to Boutwell, demand a settlunett, and
get. a handsome advance for future coercions.
Varney Gaskill will help them in. thh nutter,
for a consideration.
A Carpet Bag Octbage.—According to Ion
Piatt, Senator Roscoe Conklin, of New Yoifc,
is the victim of an unprecedented outrage. Tie
Senator has a passion for pugilism, and everj
morning, after a cold bath and crash towels,
takes his boxing gloves and pummels any
chance friend who may call upon him, nntil ho
roars for mercy. Rico, of Arkansas, saw fire
fly from Conklin’s blows ono morning
but the next time had the precaution
to take with him a professional prize
fighter, who modestly and reluctantly consented
to be exercised upon by Conklin. The Senator
danced round his victim in a lively manner,
and put in some fancy licks; bnt all at once the
stranger answered back with snch shocking
vigor that Conklin broke a lounge and a rock
ing chair in an nnexpected flight from a sock-
dologer and stood in need of reconstruction
generally. That was the morning Conklin told
Fenton in the Senate to mind his own business.
He was ruffled.
The Rochester Knocking Foxes have got
poor Raphael hard at work drawing miniatures
and portraits. The pencil is seen moving of it
self with a halo of glory round about it. The
picture is signed ‘^Raphael” in a bold hand, an
exact fao simile of the great artist’s. Fity poor
Raphael—compelled, after a long holiday, to
resume labor, under the Foxes, and take por
traits for $100 a piece, of which he does not
get a single shilling!
Coming Home.—-The U. S. steamship Quin
aebaug, arrived at Charleston, on Sunday morn
ing with thirty-four persons, men, women and
children, who left the South at the dose of the
War to better their condition in Brazil. They
were taken on board this ship and famished
with transportation by order of President
Grant, and brought back to this country. They
were found at Pernambuco and Para, in an al
moat starving condition.
General Haboo, a negro graduate of the Uni
versity of Michigan, has received from his alma
mater the degree of LL. D.
The Georgia Muddle.
We are at this writing—2 p. m., July 12th—
without any information as to what will be the
result of the conference asked for by the Senate
on the Georgia bill, reoently passed by the
House. The Senate conference committee has
been appointed, and consists of Messrs. How
ard, of Michigan, and Hamlin, of Maine, both
Radicals, and Thurman, of Ohio, Democrat.
The House committee has not been named yet
In the absence of any definite information by
telegraph, we print the following speculations
as to the final result, from specials in the New
York papers and Forney’s Press, of Saturday, and
the Richmond Dispatch of Monday:
The Georgia Bill in Conference. —The dis
position of both houses at this stage of the ses
sion seems to be to settle all matters in confer
ence committees. The Georgia bill was taken
np in the Senate to-day, and after some debate
the House bill was disagreed to and a confer
ence asked. It is thought by the friends of the
measure that, after all, perhaps this is the best
way to settle it. Had it been kept before the
Senate, amendments would have been offered,
among them the Bingham amendment, all of
which would have given rise to debate. The
impression is that the conference committee
will report the bill as it passed the House. Gen.
Batler is confident that the House will not re
cede from ita position, and that the measure
which passed that body last is the only one that
will be accepted by the majority. The friends
of the Bepublicans of Georgia are satisfied with
it, and believe that it is the best bill they can
get. The President of the Senate has not yet
announced the conferees on the part of that
body.—Press.
THE GEORGIA QUESTION REDIYIVUS—A VICTORY FOR
BULLOCK*
Concurrent with the installation of Mr. Aker-
man, the Georgia question was to-day put in
the train of speedy settlement by the reference
by the Senate of the House bill to a committee
of conference. This leaves both the House and
Senate bills in the hands of the committee, and
it is folly understood that the resnlt will be the
adoption of the Honse bill in substance. This
is a Bullock victoiy, but it is intimated that the
Attorney-General expects the question of the
interpretation of whatever bill is passed to ceme
before him, in which event a decision may be
looked for that will favor to the utmost tha ef
forts of the Republican party to maintain its
hold on Georgia, bnt will not countenance any
plundering schemes in the State.— World.
THE GEORGIA BILL
was called np in the Senate to-day, and after
some debate was referred to a Conference Com
mittee. This was rather unexpected; but the
friends of the bill profess to be satisfied, inas
much ns it will fare better there than it would
have done in the Senate. In that body it would
have given rise to debate, and probably some
amendments would have been adopted which
would not have been accepted by the House.
Ben Butler says the House will insist upon the
original bill, or rather the bill that passed that
body, and that any attempt to alter it by the
Senate will be met by resistance. Jt is thought
the Conference Committee will report the-House
bill, which seems to be satisfactory to all par
ties.—Herald.
From present indications, there is little hope
that any definite action by Congress will be
taken tbis session on the admission of Georgia.
The action of the Senate to-day is regarded by
some as the death of the Georgia bill. It seems
probable that the Senate Conference Committee
will be headed by Mr. Trumbull, and that Mr.
Thurman will be the Democratic member of
the committee. If Gen. Butler heads the House
Committee,, which he is likely to do, there can
be little h:pe that any agreement will be
reached.—Tribune.
The Georgia Bill.—The Georgia bill has
gotten into a singular plight. Both Houses
have passed bills not at all resembling each
other, and have referred them to a conference
committee who will have power under the circum
stances to frame an entirely new bill, which,
in the hurry and confusion in the closing np of
the session next week, will doubtless pass with
out discussion of its merits or demerits.—Die-
patch, 0th.
A Hairs in North Carolina.
The following paragraphs from the Raleigh
Sentinel, of Saturday, will give some idea of
the desperate straits in which Holden and his
infamous party find themselves, and of the
means they are using to secure a fresh lease of
honor:
Free Speech, Indeed!—We learn from a
correspondent at Fayetteville, that a colored
man, for making a Conservative speech at the
District Convention in that place, was run out
of the town by the Leaguers, on the “glorious”
Fourth, with slicks and brickbats. The Rads
must have a standing army to secure to them
the enjoyment of their rights, and assist them
to prevent any body else from doing the same.
In the Radical Convention, held at Lumber-
ton last Monday, it was publicly declared that
the success of the county ticket depended upon
the Colonel of Militia in that District. That if
one Howell, (the recently appointed militia
Colonel for that District,) should be nominated
for Sheriff, he would secure the election of the
whole ticket by the aid ot the militia, but if he
was thrown overboard the ticket could not se-
cure that aid and must be defeated.
Col. Kirk’s arrival at Asheville, with a por
tion of his command, we are reliably informed,
created a perfect storm of indignation, in which
Republicans and Conservatives participated.
We also learn that Governor Holden’s calling
out the militia is denounced in unmeasured
terms by Republican candidates west of the
Ridge, as unjust, uncalled for, and unwise.
The Radicals themselves admit that the resnlt
will be the (.lection of the Conservative candi
dates by a largely increased majority.
Wliat a New York Radical Paper
Says of Ono or Its Senators.
The New York Commercial Advertiser, a
Radical journal of weight and repute in that
party, has this to say of the Hon. Reuben E.
Fenton, ono of the Radical Senators from that
State. Fenton has been loaded with honors by
the party in New York, having been a member
of the House for several terms, and Governor
once or twice. Fainted a3 the picture is by a
Radical artist, we are bouud to accept it as
true to nature:
A Senator who represents the great State of
New York, it is said, is to make charges, to
day, before a Committee of the Senate, against
a citizen of the State, whom the President has
nominated for Collector of the Port of New
York. We are not apprised of the nature of
the charges to be preferred. A Senator who
assumes the responsibility of accuser, in order
that his charges may cany weight should him
self present a clean record. It is notorious
fcat this Senator has from time to time been
narked and branded with charges of the most
irfamons character—that these charges were
unde over the names of persons pecnniarly re
sponsible, who defied him in public prints to
caiHhem before a Court of Justice where an op-
porUnity could be had to prove or disprove
them, Damaging as were these charges, the
Senator has made no reply to them. He has
remained silent and passive, and has not dared
to bring their authors to a test before tho courts
or before the people. We submit that it is the
duty of the Senate to pat this Senator on trial
as well as tho President's candidate for Collec
tor. If this is done, we promise to show that
the Senate disgraces itself by permitting him
to bold a seat in that body.

green turtle. Eleven hnndred and fifty of the
melons were shipped at once to Boston.

The editor of the Ready Reporter, at Atlan
ta, says:
Coming np the Georgia Railroad, this morn
ing, I noticed in the first-class car, among the
ladies and gentlemen, a big buck nigger, seated
about the oentre of the car, reading a newspa
per. _ Captain Tatt Miller was the conductor,
who informed me that he got on at Augusta,
and insisted npon his right to a seal in that car,
as he paid first-class fare.
We get the following Hems from the Sparta
Times and Planter:
The weather has been exceedingly worm for
the past two weeke, and an abundance of rain
has fallen. Some fanners complain of much
rain and plenty of grass. Others report enough
rain, but not an excess. All crops, as a gen
eral rule, look well, and promise an abundant
yield. We have not as yet heard of any cater
pillars on cotton.
The effect of a considerable thunder storm
was experienced in Sparta last Sunday. Nine
trees were struck by lightning within the cor
porate limits-of the town. Fortunately, no
body was hurt, and no serious damage was
done., The lightning-rod business, we think,
would flourish here.
The Lumpkin Telegraph has a long account
of the Fifteenth Amendment celebration in that
village on Friday. We make the following ex
tract : .
When the column reaehed the square they
filed around a time or two and broke ranks for
the speaking, as by this time they had pre
pared a stand of some goods boxes, wMch,
about ten o’clock, was mounted by Blount—
(known here among the boys by the pet name
of “Spot”)—who commenced to harangue them.
The attendance was small—only about two hun
dred and fifty or three hundred, and only a
hundred or so gathered around the stand, and
appeared to take bat liitle interest in what he
said. He spoke for upwards of two hours. He
told them he was their particular friend, and
how he had suffered for them; how he had
mingled with them night and day, both male
and female—[a voice in the crowd, “that’s so,”]
and he considered it an honor. He appealed!
He denounced! He vociferated! He slob
bered! He yelled! bnt not one cheering voice
applauded the poor old rogue, in all his frenzied
and vehemenf eloquence. In vain did he try
to look sweet and affable—in vain did he call
them by the fondest and most endearing names.
It was evident that “Old Spot” wasn't the man
they wanted to hear speak.
The Eras says “it is generally understood
the Legislative session will be a long one.”
The Griffin • Star says Col. A. W. Walker, a
citizen of Henry county, subscribed $1,000
to Mercer University, last week.
At the recent commencement of Judson
Female Institute, Marion, Alabama, the first
honor, in a class of fifty-eight, was awarded to
Miss Annie King Lumpkin, daughter of Col. J.
Troup Lumpkin, the local of the Atlanta Sun.
The Star says the late Masonic Festival at
Griffin was a success pecuniarily—five hundred
dollars being realized. The two prettiest
women that ever visited Griffin were present,
hailing from Macon and Colnmbns, respec
tively.
Mr. Matthew Long, aged 91 years, died in
Hall county, last week.
Thomas Brooks, one of the first settlers of
Spalding county, and universally respected,
died near Griffin, Saturday, aged 7G years.
The Star says:
Crops.—The crops in this section are begin-
ing to suffer considerably for rain. Cotton is
small bnt looks healthy. Some complaint of
boll worm. Corn large and fine, but very
sappy; will suffer bad if it don’t get rain quick.
Letters for Miss N. L. Bacon and Miss Clem-
mie Hall, Macon, Ga., are held for postage in
the Atlanta post office.
The following paragraphs are clipped from
the Atlanta Georgian:
Mb. Speaker McWhorter.—We are highly
pleased to learn that this gentleman is not in
favor of the Legislature holding over till 1872.
We are also gratified to learn that he is of opin
ion that a majority of the Legislature is of tho
same way of thinking.
Bullock Eggs.—Democrats in and about At
lanta who wonld not speak to a Republican a
year ago, are now sacking Bullock eggs! What
a change to be sure!! Will somebodv be good
enough to post us as to the cause ?
The Atlanta Fire Department cost the city
about $6,100 last year. The loss by fires in
that city for the same period was $76,000.
The Atlanta Sun says:
Cotton Prospects.—We have recently con
versed with several intelligent cotton planters,
who have seen quite 8 number of growing
crops, and they inform ns that no candid and
well informed man, who has had opportunities
to see the crop growing, can assert that our
present crop is even above the average.
We find the following in the Atlanta Intelli
gencer :
Miscegenation.—Eveline Winn, a white wo
man, and Nelson Goldsmith, colored, were ar
rested and carried before Justice B. D. Smith,
yesterday, charged with living together as man
and wife. The evidence showed that the wo
man was a very abandoned creature, and was
rea ly guilty of the offense, likewise was her
colored paramour found guilty. Hia Honor
sentenced the man to pay a fine of ten dollars
and cost, and the woman to pay a fine of five
dollars and cost, or work several months in the
chain gang.
The Constitution tells the following story of
sharp practice—mild term, by-the-by—in the
life insurance line:
A gentleman of reliability gives ns the follow
ing statement, which, if true, is an instance of
pretty sharp practice in the life insurance line.
It is ramored that an aged gentleman of the
highest standing, and a member of a large and
respectable benevolent order,being two decrepid
and aged to be a snbjeot for ordinary legitimate
life insurance, was induced by a couple of men,
members of the same order, to join a co-opera
tive relief association, for winch they were
agents npon the condition that they wonld advance
the calls made npon the demise of members, pro
vided that in the event of the old man’s decease,
the money due on his death claim should be so
distributed that his widow should have one-
third and they the other two thirds. It is said
that this contract was made with the full knowl
edge that the old man’s sands of life were near
ly ran out; that one of the parties purchased
his accomplice’s interest in the risk, and is now
in the enjoyment of two-thirds of the money
paid over by the association npon proof of the
death of the old man. Fretty sharp practice,
that!
Total.. 1,550,489 1,325,893
These figures indicate an increase in the cot
ton in sight to-night of 225,096 bales compared
with the same date of 1869.
Botham.—A letter from Stanfordville reports
very flattering prospects for corn and oolton
crop* about the Half Acre. People healthy, in-
, dwtrinu and peaceable.
How the Wood Goes.—The present consump
tion of wood in the United States is enormous,
One hundred and fifty thousand acres of the
best timber is cut every year to supply the de
mand for railway Bleepers alone. For railroad
builders, repairs and cars, the annual expendi
ture for wood is $38,500,000. In a single year,
the locomotives in the United States consume
$50,000,000 worth of wood. There are In the
whole country more than 400,000 artisans in
wood, and if the value of their labor is $1,000 a
year, the wood industry of tho country repre
sents an amount of nearly $500,000,000 per
annum.
John Coming this Way.—A San Francisco
dispatch of the 8th says:
Census Marshal Morris declares that Califor
nia is entitled to another Congressman under
tne Fourteenth Amendment, counting the Chi
nese as population. He has instructed his dep
uties to carefully enumerate them. Several
hundred Chinamen left here to-day on a special
train for Georgia.
Booth’s Theatre and the Olympic have closed
their doors for the season, following the exam
ple of Niblo’s. The Fifth Avenue will do like
wise after this week. That will leave only two
theatres open, and even these will suspend their
performances, it is said, unless they are better
patronised than they have been during the past
fortnight.
The Chinese Labor Question
Even the threatened war in Europe fails to
divert the attention ot the Northern papers and
politicians from the so’Called Labor Question
in connection with the immigration of the
Chinese. It is the snbjeot of universal dis
quisition. Two of the moet philosophical
articles .on the topic may be found in the New
York Mercantile Journal and in the Commercial
and Finanoial Chronicle. The latter assuming,
what will scarcely be questioned, that the
country needs more labor, and the acquisition
considered by itself alone, must be regarded aa
a benefit, proceeds to canvass the objections
used against Chinese labor. It argues justly
that the price of labor' in this country, being
regulated by competition between employers,
the complaints of the Crispins are without force.
They can still find abundance of employment at
remunerative prices.
Upon the alleged danger of such, an over
powering Chinese immigration as shall supplant
and ruin American labor, the ■ Chronicle re
marks as follows:
It is not true, for many reasons. The total
Chinese immigration into this country for four
teen years past hps been 78,817, the largest
number, 12,874, having come in 18G9. If we
suppose this number multiplied by ten, it will
still be less than one-third of the whole immi
gration ; and there would still be fewer Chinese
than either German or Irish immigrants. Now
“comparisons are odious,” and we shall not dis
cuss the comparative value to the nation of
these different classes. It is enough to say
that, whether the Chinamen are the poorest
workmen in the world, or the best, the number
of them likely to come during the present cen
tury could not add materially to the pauperism
and crime of the country on the one hand, nor
seriously affect the general market for labor on
the other. Moreover, the immigration from
China cannot possibly increase as rapidly as that
from Europe, which has much more than doub
led since 18G0, and which increased last year
55,354, while the Chinese “irruption” increased
only 2,190. For it costs more to bring a China
man from his home to America than it costs to
bring a German or Irishman ; and his resources
at home are incomparably smaller. At the low
est rate of wages in the west of Ireland, a com
mon laborer who manages' to live without
spending money can earn his passage in three
months, while a Chinamen in Fuh Chow must
work nearly three years to do tho same. It is
therefore only the better class in the Central
Flowery Kingdom, those who have means of
their own, or at least long practice in saving,
who can come at all. The Irish and Germans
here are constantly bringing their friends to
Ms country, with their own earnings, bnt
whether tho Chinese have no friends, or wheth
er their own ambition always is to return with
their earnings, it seems to be true that no
Chinaman ever yet sent money home to bring
another out. The probability is that the num
ber of immigrants from China will increase but
moderately, and will never be eo great as that
of the Irish and Germans who now come every
year.
But even if the greatest emigration everknown
in history should now take place, we insist that
the event woutd bo a benefit., not only to the
American people as a whole bnt especially to
the intelligent American laborer. In every na
tion the introdnetion of abundant physical force
has improved the condition of the working
man. The principle is the same as when ma-
cMnery is constructed to exercise the brute
force which has hitherto required human muscle.
The result always is that laboring men are ele
vated in the nature of tho work they do. So,
if inferior labor is brought here in abundance,
the more active, fertile and dexterous brain cf
the American citizen will have this labor to dis
pose of, and will find in the gaidance and im
provement of it a better work than that from
wMch it is relieved.
And speaking of the farcical pretence that
the employment of CMnamen under contract
is a system of slave labor. - ''e Chronicle says:
Bat there can be noth. a at all resembling
slavery in the relations between capitalists anc
any Chinamen whom they may import into the
United States. In thi3 country, employers are
practically at tho mercy of laborers. Employ
ers may eBgage them (either Chinamen or
Irishmen) under contracts for five years at
twenty dollars a month; but they will work at
that only so loDg as they cannot earn more.
Let them once learn that their wages are under
the market rates, and they will leave. What
remedy has the capitalist in that event? It
may be answered he can enforce the contract.
Imagine an employer sueing fifty Irishmen or
fifty Chinamen for a breach of contract for
work or labor. The resnlt of suoh suits would
be fifty jndgmentsfor damages wMch could not
be collected out of irresponsible men, and fifty
bills of costs, which the capitalists would have
the pleasure of paying, and the Chinaman or
Irishman (as we do not imprison for debt)
would go to work for some one else at higher
wages. In a word, then, not until the fugitive
slave law is re-enacted, (a law wMch, we fancy,
no one fears will be on our statute books again)
or nntil there is a remedy against the body of
these laborers, can contracts such as those
which are now made with Chinamen be en
forced. This whole cry, therefore, of the re
vival of slavery is only a subterfuge, and shows
the weakness of the cause of those who are
opposing this movement when their chief ar
gument is based npon false premises.
Letter From General Young.
Washington, D. C., June 30, 1S70.
Editors Constitution: As there seems to be
some misunderstanding between certain persons
as to my position in Washington, I desire to say
right here: That I am not now taking, nor have
I taken means to get a seat in the Forty-first
Congress. I came to Washington, in March, at
the earnest solicitation of certain distinguished
Democrats of my district; and from the day of
my arrival I labored incessantly to bring to a
successful solution the troubles and issues inci
dent to tho Georgia case.
I have ever held tho opinion that the people
of Georgia elected the present delegation to the
Fortieth Congress, and that they fully expeoted
to hold an election for the Forty first Congress;
and it is a fact well known to many members of
the Georgia Legislature, that I have been most
urgent and anxious for an eleetion for the Forty-
first Congress, and that I have urged from time
to time that an enabling act should be passed
by the Legislature for that purpose. I still
hold to my original opinion, which I advocated

Fighting Resources of France and
l'rnssia.
Tho Boston Post says tho fighting resources
of the two countries, which events now rapidly
gathering may plunge into a war of gigantio
proportions, are ample for a lengthy continu
ance of the strife if once begun. Fiance, the
military Colossus of the We3t, has, according
to the latest and most accurate advices, 414,G32
soldiers on the peace footing, 047,171 of a field
army, or 1,250,000 men in all her entire ordi
nary war strength. Of these, 370,000 men are
ready to march at the tap of .the drum. Aus
tria, who is looked upon as the ally of France
in this emeute, has 2S7,470 men on the pe
establishment, 838,700 of a war strength,
300,000 fully prepared to move. If the group
of South German States should be found on the
same side, they have 6G,540 men on tho peace,
or 184,406 on tho war footing, with 107,000 of
tMs number ready for instant servico. Suoh a
coalition would give Napoleon the control of
777,000 fighting men at once, with a reserve of
1,596,106 trained soldiers. On the other hand
Prussia has 726,000 men on the peace or 1,266,-
000 on the war footing, with 300,000 now ready
for operations on her Western frontier. North
Germany, going with Prussia, has 315,526 on
the peace, 551,993 on the field or 944,321 on
the war footing, of whioh 516,000 are instantly
available. This would place at Bismarck's dis
posal 840,000 men ready at once, and 1,364,321
in reserve, or 69,000 men more on the instant,
and, hereafter, 231,785 less than the French
alliance. Should Southern Germany lend a
helping hand to Prussia she would have 1,053,-
000 men, or 176,000 more than France, to move
at once. This wonld leave Prussia still a re
serve of l,44l;727 men, or only 154,379 leas
than that of France and Austria coalesced.

The Great Steamboat Race.
The repeater of the Memphis Avalanche, who
boarded the Robert E. Lee at Memphis, on her
great raoe against the Natchez, gives a lively
idea of what a steamboat race on the Missis
sippi may be to a passenger:
boarding the t.we
in the darkness of night, and filled with all the
excitement and terrors of the sUnation, the
Avalanche reporter looked around for some as
surance of safety, and searched diligently
through the hidden depths of his pMlosopby for
comfort. He had succeeded in a measure, so
as to feel tolerably comfortable and brave, and
sufficiently knit in the nerves to take a dis
passionate view of the situation—dispassionate
view! Good heavens! how grievously was he
disappointed. His first care was to procure a
room, which the imperturbable clerk let him
have at once. “Yon can oocupy,” said he,
“No.-7.” No. 7 turned out to be situated ex
actly over the boiler. Tbis was not “Balm of
Gilead;” on the contrary, it was “gall and
wormwood” to the reporter. He tried to find
consolation in the reflection that coal was not
the worst sort of a combustible, and perhaps
there might be lack in it. He explored tMs
subject, bnt fonnd that the coal was fearfully
bituminous, and that it was all in nice lumps,
not less than a pound each, with rosin scattered
through it, just as one would scatter bran
through chopped feed. This discovery was
comforting. One of the hands informed the
reporter that the pine knots were nearly all out,
but it was a pleasure to discover that there were
at least twenty barrels of coal oil still unused.
This oil was used with judicious calmness, and
a man of judgment and nerve took a bucket
full of it round, and, with a large dipper, while
a fireman opened the doors of the fire-boxes, he
dashed a half gallon into each with periodical
precision. This was done to add a little tone to
the sluggishness of the bituminous coal mixed
with rosin. The pine knots, of wMch a second
supply was taken in at WMte River, were near
ly out, and they were used sparingly. This
sort of fuel made it particularly safe to have a
berth over the boiler. The reporter was again
comforted when he visited the engine-room and
found
oim hundred and thirty pounds op steam up,
and all the anxiety of every officer on board
was to get np more steam. The fact is, owing
to the unusual size of the Lee’s cylinders, she
uses steam faster than she can make it. The
Natchez has the same power for producing
steam, and not near the capacity for using it.
Both steamers have eight boilers each, while
the cylinders of the Lee are much larger than
those of the Natchez. TMs tMng of Mgh
pressure is doubtless very fine for fast running,
bat it is mighty nerve-disturbing to a peaceable
man, who wants to have no fuss on board
steamboats no more than anywhere else. The
room No. 7, exactly over the boilors, had the
effect of sending the reporter on to the hurri
cane deck to reflect a bit before retiring to en
joy that sleep that belongs to a good conscience
and a well regulated stomach. The hurricane
deck of the Lee at midnight on the Mississippi,
above Memphis, the sky covered with leaden
clonds, the dark river falling turbidly beneath
the parallel volumes of black smoke, mnch
blacker than the black sky above or the black
river beneath, falling away in our wake,
THE BED GLARE .
of the open fire boxes gleaming over the river,
the snorting of the steam pipes like a whale that
is chased in the Southern Ocean, and the dark
outlines of the low lying wooded shores of the
river, made up all the circumstances of this tre
mendous. race that were then within reach of
observation. The engineer, of course, was at
his post with corrugated brow and compressed
lip, a flat eye sharply set and a hand oily and
bony, bnt steady as if its nerves were made of
steel. He throws his eye at onee over every
foot of the machinery and walks around with
noiseless step, touching a cock here and a wash
er there, evidently feeling satisfied that the en
gine was remarkably sonnd and safe, and that
every tMng was in mighty good trim. Then the
pilot was away aloft looking ahead with prac
ticed and steady vision, and guiding the rapid
course of the boat with confident and artistic
touch. Presently the steam is slacked off, there
is a rapid ringing of bells, a noisy blowing down
the tubes from the pilot-honse to the engine
room, a man in a red shirt sounding appears at
the bows slinging out a lead and crying out con
stantly for nearly an hoar such sea-faring slang
as this: “Quarter less three, three-fourths less
four,” and so forth; the meaning of wMch is
that the water is from seventeen to twenty feet
deep. When it reached tMrty feet the sound
ings ceased, the whale snorting was resumed,
the creaking of every individual stick on the
boat began anew, and
THE WHITE FOAM
in our wake became smaller, the dark forms at
the fire-boxes move continually before the red
glare, and opening and shutting, shovelling in
coal and rosin, or raking out ashes without in
termission. 1 Capt. Cannon, a man of medium
height, with a tremendous deep chest, rather
stooped shoulders, and a steel face, for his hair
is dark, moves from place to place, a person of
weight, yet not lacking in agility. He spares
not his oaths, bnt Ms voice is not loud nor Ms
talk voluble. He wants to win the raoe, and he
is resolved that no Mtch shall occur anywhere
wMch will jeopardize his well founded hope of
success. The fire doors, the engine room, and
the pilot honse, are the types of life on the boat.
They must be kept in harmoniusand effective
action, and not a particle of force or moment of
time is to be wasted. The Natchez at no time
approached nearer than a couple of miles after
leaving New Orleans. During the whole way
up the Lee gained on her opponent, and the on
ly thing wMch could be discovered of rivalry on
the river was the

curling darkly np in the distance, and growing
more attenuated every time it came in view
across the bends of tho river. Wherever there
was a log shanty along either shore, a delega
tion from it invariably stood on the most prom
inent bluff to have a few rays of recognition
and welcome across the intervening diluted
mud, and congregations of hovels usually sent
out a crowd that managed somehow or other to
improvise a gun and fire! off a salute, wMch was
invariably answered by three or four hoarse
whistles from the Lee, the great champion.
The Currency Bill.—The Fresident yester
day approved “An act to provide a national cur
rency secured by a pledge of United States
bonds, and to provide for the circulation and
redemption thereof,” approved June 3,1864,and
and the acts amendatory thereof, and to amend
same. It provides far an inerease of fifty-four
millions of bank-note currency, retires forty-
five millions of three per cent certificates, re
distributes twenty-five millions from the excess
held by the North and East to the South and
West, and provides for free banking on a four
per cent gold bond. It does not inflate the
volume of currency a dollar. Legal-tender notes
will take the place of the three per cents as the
bank reserve, while the additional bank notes
will supply the place of the legal-tenders thus
withdrawn, to wMch, however, must be added
twenty per cent more as reserve for tho afore
said new issue of bank notes. In this way the
present equilibrium of the volume of currency
is preserved, being neither contracted nor ex
panded. According to a statement prepared at
the Treasury, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mis
souri, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Iowa Rnd Kansas
will gain in the redistribution of the twenty-
fivo millions, while Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania
will lose. The hill makes the redistribution
gradual and on tbe basis of the new census.—

Comptroller General’s Office,
Atlanta, Ga., July 8,1870.
Mr. Editor: Quite a number of verbal
and written inquiries have been made of me
in regard to the constitutionality of the Act
taxing the sales of spirituous and malt liquors
20 cents per gallon. That all may understand
my views on the subject, I have to request
that you publish this letter: V
The latter clause of Seo. 27, Article 1st of
the Constitution of this State declares that
“taxation on property shall be ad valorem
only, and uniform on all. species of property
taxed,” and hence the conclusion arrived at
by manjr that the specific or special tax on
liquors is unconstitutional. And such would
be a legitimate conclusion, but for the fact
that another part of the same Constitution
expressly authorizes the Legislature to lay
special tax on the sale of spirituous and malt
liquors, and thus takes liquors out of the pro
visions of the language above quoted. Arti
c!e VI. Section 3, declares that, the “poll tax
allowed by this Constitution, any educational
fund now belonging to this State, except the
endowment of and debt due to the State Uni
versity, or that may hereafter be obtained in
any way, a special tax on shows and exhibi
tions, and on the sale of spirituous or malt
liquors, which the General Assembly is here
by authorized to assess, and the proceeds
from the commutation for militia seivice, are
hereby set apart and devoted to the support
of Common Schools.” It would seem that if
the attention of those who are engaged in re
sisting, before the courts, the collection of this
tax on account of its supposed unconstitution-
ality, could be directed to the clause last quot
ed, that they would at once abandon the
ground as wholly untenable and thus save
themselves, as well as the State, the unneces
sary expense of litigation.
Another ground of resistance as it is under
stood is, that the tax act of 1869 was limited
to that year—that the act taxed the sales of
1869, and expired at the end of that year.
By reference to Paragraph 8, Section - 2d, it
will be seen that this ground is also untenable,
and that the paragraph by its own language
is perpetual, from year to year, until repealec.
or suspended by a new tax act After speci
fying the tax levied, the act goes on to say
that “quarterly returns shall be made on the
first days of April, July, October and Janu
ary "in each year,” etc., clearly meaning the
year 1869 and each succeeding year. This is
the plain letter of the law, as well as the in
tention, and any other construction would be
forced, and contrary to all known rules for the
construction of statutes. I£ however, any
one should still doubt as to the act being per
petual by force of its own language, it is pre
sumed that no one will doubt that the resolu
tion of the Legislature, approved 4th May,
1870, continues it in force. This is the reso
lution :
“Resolved 2d, That for the same reasons
the tax act of 1S69, be, and it is hereby con
tinued in full force and effect, until otherwise
ordered by the General Assembly.”
I would also call special attention to the
penalty imposed by the latter part of Para
graph 8, Section 2d, of the tax act of 1869,
which says: “If any person shall fail or re
fuse to make his return and pay said tax, he
shall be assessed by the Collector, a specific
tax of one thousand dollars, and the Collector
shall proceed to collect the same by execution,”
etc. I would remark that those who resist
the tax by a resort to the courts, will never
theless, in my judgment, be subject to the
penalty, should they fail to succeed before tbe
courts.
While the constitutionality of the law cm
only be determined by the courts, I have
deemed it not improper forme (it being my
duty to enforce the revenue laws of the State)
to state this much of my views of the law in
question, with the view, if possible, of saving
litigation, and, perhaps, much expense to
complainants as well as to the State.
Respectfully,
Madison Bell,
Comptroller General.

Speed on the Mississippi and Hndson
Rivers.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer. |
It having been settled by actual trial that a
certain Western steamboat, bearing the disloyal
name, Robert E. Lee, is faster than another
steamboat bearing the name of a once disloyal
town, Natchez, it might be hoped that the
country would be satisfied with the important
information. To obtain it has cost, we are told,
$1,000,000 which was wagered on the speed of
the respective boats, and the captains and
crews of those steamers, who, if they had
their lives insured, could scarcely expect pay
ment of the policy in case of accident, ran tbe
risk of collapse and explosion in order that a
most important controversy should be settled.
The population on the banks of tbe Mississippi
have been intensely excited, and, whenever
daylight wonld permit the progress of the con
tending boats was watched for with the almost
anxiety, and when the leading steamer made
its appearance, salutes were fired, bonfires kin
dled, and shouts rent the air. ' The distance
by the river from New Orleans to St. Louis is
eleven hnndred and ninety-four miles. The
swiftest of these two boats made the passage
in three days, eighteen hours and fourteen
minutes, including all stoppages. The
speed was something over thirteen miles
an hour, wMch really does not seem very
wonderful, in comparison to the time made
by the great boats on the North River npon
ordinary occasions without any special effort.
The only fact that will survive tMs controversy
is that the trip has been made between the two
cities in ninety honrs and fourteen minutes,.
wMch is said to be three honrs and forty-five
minutes less than the shortest trip previously
made. The only gratifying fact wMch may be
deduced from the struggle is that machinery is
being improved, models of boats better adapted
to speedy passage, so that the saving of time in
ordinary interconrse, in wMch no racing is ne
cessary, becomes important, because time is
money. When the New Orleans, the first
steamboat that went from Fittsburg to New
Orleans, made her voyage at the beginning of
steam navigation upon that river, she left Fitts
burg some time in October and reached Natchez
some time in the first week in January, 1812.
Of course they had great detentions. They
had to stop frequently to procure fuel, and
daring a portion of the voyage the great earth
quake of 1811 had taken place. But even
when the navigation of the river had been
settled, ten days and two weeks’ voyage be
tween New Orleans and St Louis, in ascending
the stream, was a common average. It was
gradually reduced to a week, and then to five
days; possibly in a few years it may be re
duced to three days. The Daniel Drew has
made twenty-two and a half miles an hour
on the North River, and at the same rate could
go from St Louis to New Orleans in fifty-
three honrs, without stoppages. Allowing eight
hours for such detentions, the Daniel Drew,
under ordinary circumstances, wonld be able to
make the passage in less than three days, thus T0ice -
saving three quarters of a day on the time of a
steamer over the exploits of which the "West is
now undu3y excited.

Your affectionate brother,
Pius IX entered npon the twenty-fifth year of
Ms pontificate on the 17th ult. His Holiness
was congratulated on the occasion by the Sacred
College and the bishops, and Ms reply to their
felicitations has now been published in the
Fans Univers. In the course of his remarks
he refers to the errors prevailing in the present
day, and declares that they arise in gTeat part
from ignorance. “Bnt npon whom does the
task devolve of dispelling this ignorance?” he
asks. “Upon whom, if not upon us and yon ?
It is for ns to remove the errors wMch exist
even in minds wMch are upright, but wMch do
not know the significance of certain principles
and the peril of oertain doctrines.” The Pope
speaks in strong terms against the liberal Cath
olics, and certain bishops, “sentinels established
bv God to watch over tbe salvation of the peo
ple, who so tax forget the grandenr of their dnty
as to leave the devices with which the chnroh
honors them in order to adopt those of the
world and live as' it lives.” In his reply the
Pope relates a couple of anecdotes, and pre
faces them with the remark that he will be brief
in order to avoid imitating “oertain orators,”
allusion being here made, it is assumed, to oer
tain members of the Council who have spoken
against the dogma of infallibility.
