War News Worse ana Worse.
The shades have been deepening with every
foreign dispatch received in the last five day*.
Our early dispatches yesterday, (wo cannot
speak of those which come later, and keep onr
columns open till two in' the morning,) repre
sent affairs as pretty near the point of collapse.
Military preparations were poshed all Sun
day night in Paris, and it was announced (the
very material point, by whom, omitted) that if
Prince Leopold did not come down from that
candidacy, war would bo declared by France in
twenty-four hours. French stocks were tum
bling. and financial men known to be in the
French Emperor's confidence, were heavy selt-
■ ers. -Prussia had ordered iron clads in Plym
outh to cruise off Cherbourg. There was a
panic in business circles in London, and, in
short, the bottom was falling out of everything.
Apparently, if things don't mend in a few
hours, there will be a deplorable fuss in the
family of nations.
The English papers scold prodigiously, but
that is of no use. The London Timc3 calls
upon neutral potters to interfere and put a stop
to the nonsense: but the neutral powers will
be a great deal too slow to meet this pressing
emergency. And that, by the way, is queer
talk of the Times—first, that the balance of
power is not worth a thought, anyhow; and,
second, to deplore the probable injury France
must sustain by the enthronement of Hohen
zollern. Is the Times setting the dogs on, or
calling them off ?
Evidently it is more n*sentimenfc of; wounded
pride in Franco than anything elso which is im
pelling her to these vigorous proceedings. Sho
feels that she has been over reached : in this
business by Prussia, and instead of being ap
peased, feels insulted by the cool assurance that
this Hohenzollern business is a small private
matter between the Prince and Spain only.
Furthermore, Napoleon feels that he was com
promised somewhat in that previous bout of
diplomacy with Bismarck and evidently means
that Prussia, Bismarck, the Prince, Spain and
the whole concern shall either back square down,
or make good their diplomacy on the battle
field. That seems to be the precise aspect of
the situation at present*writing; but we don’t
know what news will come before going to press.
A few hints tell great stories in these times.
There, was a splutter in the New York gold
market yesterday—the morning board closing
ing at 14. We hear verbally, however, that it
closed at night at 12i, and perhaps thero might
be some better news which will come along be
fore we go to press. But we look upon this
fuss in gold, as mere nonsense. American se
curities ought to improve in the event of an
Europenn war. The tide of immigration and
investment should set more strongly towards
this continent, if Europe is plunged into the
insecurity, waste and bloodshed of war.
P. S.—The latest dispatches received last
night present a more peaceful aspect, and the
storm seems to be passing over without much
of a shower after all.
flow It Works.
The failure of Congress to remove the tariff
on coal will sweat the people. That portion of
“American industry” employed in collecting
royalty and in mining and transportation, taking
heart from the action of Congress in retaining
the duty on foreign coal, is preparing to cut
an extra pound of flesh from the people. The
Philadelphia Press, the organ of the tariffites
themselves, sounds the alarm. The Schuylkill
miners are demanding not only higher wages,
but insist that eight hours shall be a day’s
work, and are threatening a general strike if
these demands are not complied with; and a
suspension of mining labor is anticipated,
whether in tho nature of a real issue between
labor and capital, or a mere sham'to raise the
price of coal for the benefit of the “coal, inter
est,'' i; not apparent. To add to the complica
tions, the Beading Kailroad has raised tolls fifty
cents, and by the abolition of drawbacks added
forty cents more, so; as increase freights from
tjjSl.CO'lo $2.50 per ton. Tho Press says: ■
Hence, fluctuations in the price of anthracite
vitally affect the people. Any considerable in
crease is a public calamity which, is felt in every
household, and sometimes nearly paralyzes ex
tensive manufacturing industries.
It would be an interesting problem for Con
gress to compute bow much the failure to re
peal the duty on foreign coal will tax the peo
ple. Cox calculates that about four or 'five;
times the amount of duty collected by th6 Gov
ernment on-foreign commodities is paid by the
people as a bonus to -the manufacturers, and
therefore a tax of one dollar in the wajr of a
protective duty takes five dollars out tho pockets
of the people. The “protection to American
Industry,” afforded-by the duty on coal, may be
oomprebended by the admission Of tho Phila
delphia press, that the increase in price “near--
paralyzes extensive manufacturing industries”
and is a “public calamity felt in every house-
old.” Who can protect American industry
against tho confusing, disordering and paraly-
izing effects of so-called “protection?” 1 .''
The Chinese War in California. H

presume, is.the first shipment by Ivoomonschap

nainen to work on;Staunton’s. Chattanoga and
Alabama Kailroad. The dispatches threaten a
popnlar outbroak against the Chinamen in Cal
ifornia. They complain that these rascals'per
sist' in working hard and minding their o wn bus
iness—“saying nothing to nobody,” and are
actually preferred as laborers to tins* who love
idleness and whisky and .tho amusement of
strikes. What adds immensely to the dangers
of the situation is that these Chinamen eat rice
and very little batcher’s meat, generally of an
inferior quality, But tho crowning iniquity is
that they cannot boast the pure African blood.
If they were only Africans, not only would they
be permitted to live under the laws, brit- r fbe!
laws and constitutions would be altered partic
ularly to suit them. Under these, circumstances,
the despatches predict bloody murder in a'very
short time, and as the Chinamen won’t fight and
brawl, and have no law to protect them and no
friend to take their part, and being heathens,
and baying yellow and not black skins, it is pre4
dieted that they will be a case.

We take pleasure in calling attention to the

elsewhere. We do not deem it necessary to say
anything in commendation of it, for its merits
are better known by the people of the South,

brightest future for Washington College. W*

Extensive Chickens.—A lady went to a
gentleman yesterday to purchase chickens.
She purchased nine and a dispute arose about
the purchase, tho nature of which we did not
lonrn, but opprobrious words were used, which
resulted in an assault and battery. Ten war
rants were issued, eight of which appeared to be
sustained, the cost of which was sixty-four dol
lars. The other two appeared to have no good
foundation upon which to stand, when the
Court remarked that “Jnstico was deaf, but
she was not blind,” and the Court perceived two
chickens. The result was that tile Court got
sixty-four dollars costs and two chickens.
A correspondent of the Chronicle & Sentinel,
writes that wheat and oats in Burke county this
season, surpassed expectations. Corn crop pros
pect fine—cotton not so good. Another corres

from personal observation, that com and colton
along the Ogeechee river and Central railroad,
in Scriven county, are “simply splendid.”

The State Agricultural Society.—Should
a vacancy occur in the office of President of
the “State Agricultural Society,” which seems
to be the general expectation and wish of every
section of the State, allow me to suggest the
name of Col. John B. Walker, of Morgan coun
ty, a practioalplanter, a high-toned gentleman
of fine administrative abilities, to fill that po
sition. The promotion of such a man to the
position of President would make the society
what it was intended by its founders it should
be, a benefit to the agricultural interest of Geor
gia. • “Once a Membeb.”
Note by Editob.—We do not believe a bet
ter selection could be made for President of the
State Society than the gentleman whose name
is mentioned by our correspondent. It is now
quite evident that the public voice requires a
change. Whether that demand is just or not,
we shall not stop to inquire. It is quite suffi
cient that it is proposed on all sides and with
great pertinacity.

The norkimueu’s Party.
Some of. the Washington quid nunss say the

power. Tbey have nine hundred thousand enroll

the Democratic and Republican parties; and do
not intend to support either the Republican or
Democratic candidate for the Presidency, but
to call a national convention in advance of the
political conventions, and to nominate in it
Presidential ticket, This coarse, it is main
tained, will compel the Democratic party to
abandon making a nomination, and to take up
the nominees of the Workingmen's Convention,
who, it is assumed with considerable confidence,
will carry every State in the Union, the party

reduced expenditures and reform and retrench

Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I have
just returned from a flying trip to Upper Geor
gia. I rode on horseback through nearly every
portion of Walker county. The com in that
section promises well, and the wheat crop has
seldom if ever been more abundant. From
Point Lookout this county resembles “ocean
into tempest tossed”—a billowy succession of
mountain heights and valley depths. Bat its
land is scarcely inferior to the best in Georgia,
and a railroad through LaFayette would discover
agricultural resources of sufficient importance
to invite immigration and enterprise to an ex
tent at present not suspected.
The school at LaFayette, under the joint su
pervision of Miss Johnson and Capt. J. Y.

The Franco-Spanish-Prussia** War Ira-
- & brogllo.
Since the late Austro-Prassian war for the
bomogeny of Germany, the ocean cable has not
conveyed to onr shores more startling and un
expected news than the candidacy of Prince
Leopold, of Hohenzollern, for the Spanish
throne. The first reports having already been
commented upon in these columns, we may re
view the very latest disclosures. The Prussian
note replying to the inquiries of France, is said
to have arrived in Paris. The note is evasive,
denies all participation in the negotiation, dis
claims Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern as a
relative of the royal house, and refers France to8
General Prim. Whether this be really so, mat
ters but very little. Prussia may be perfectly
innocent, but she does not seem inclined to bow
hnmblv before the French demand to oppose
the Hohenzollern candidacy. Should Bismarck
wish for war, he intends, perhaps, to repeat
his formerly successful experiment, when, be
fore tho outbreak of the Austrian war, ho threw
the odium of toe bloody contest upon Austria,
by waiting until she opened toe gates of war
It is, of course, idle to speculate whether Bis
marck means peace or war. The language of
too French press has been very insulting to
wards Prussia; while one official organ already
exclaims that toe denial of the Prussian'govern
ment is not at all satisfactory, “Lo Pays,” an
Imperialistic organ, ns a means of self-preserva
tion, claims the whole left bank of the Khine,
thus making that far-famed, lovely river, the
boundary between France fend tho German Em
pire. Now, while a war to seat a Hohenzollern
on toe Spanish throne will not find the slightest
sympathy with the German people, a call to
arms to defend too Bhine, sacred to every Ger
man heart by a thousand memories, will go over
toe land like a wonderful charm. A French de
mand of toe Bhine will inaugurate a holy war,
and toe whole German nation, forgetting
party hatred, and internal dissension, will
be united against the common enemy. Always
at all without going three thousand miles for it supposing that Bismarck wants war, his schemes
and it petrified. Bark on, Bard! Sio him! are deeper than we may imagine, who cannot

The people’s money! “where toe woodbine
twineth.” Political honor! “away with it, cru

Prometheus is unbound! Barrabas is released,
and devils incarnate are “walking to and fro
like roariDg lions. “How long, oh how long?"
Bullock, Angier, Bard, avaunt! “Corruption
wins not more than honesty.”
Tho railroad from Griffin through Newnan

From the Harrisburg Patriot, July 6 )
A terrible riot occurred at toe colored pic-nio
held at Marysville on the Fonith of July. Pre
vious to their departure from this city many of
the negroes had been engaged in the South
street affray, and on their arrival at toe pic-nie
grounds, they at once became disorderly. The
riotons demonstration, however, only reached
its height about five o’clock in toe evening,
when too negroes, armed with guns, pistols,
swords and bayonets, made it a point to in
sult and strike down every white man and
woman they met. One party of too ne
groes entered too Bailroad Hotel kept by Mr.
J. Sadler, at Haley, and called for liquor,,
which was given them, when tbey walked out
without paying for it. ' Mr. Sadler demanded
the money, when they refused to settle, but
went away cursing him. They soon returned
with more of their comrades and demanded
more liquor, when Mr. Sadler declined to give
it to them. The negroes then called him harsh
names, which exasperated the proprietor so
much that he knocked. several of them dowD,
but the others assisted their comrades and Mr.
Sadler was beaten somewhat. Several Dan-
cannon men happening to be present wont to
bis assistance and succeeded in driving the
negroes off. They, however, came back rein
forced with about thirty members of the com
pany, and had their guns with them, with their
bayonets fixed, and in this manner they charged
upon toe whites. Mr. Sadler and a man from
Baltimore wore shot and seriously wounded,
and Mr. McGowan of Duncannon, Vi. E. Mc
Kee, Mr. Anspach, Samuel Bowman, and Her
man Eppler were badly injured. The negroes
finally succeeded in forcing the whites to
retreat. • .
Chicago, July S.—At II o’clock to-day, at toe

ton street, a colored lad name Wm. Sanders,
employed as a servant m the family, entered a
room where Annie Conlin, a white girl, also em
ployed as a servant, was engaged at her. work,
locked the door, and asked Annie if she would
marry him. She replied, indignantly, “No,”
whereupon he drew- a knife and cut her throat.
Tho screams of toe girl brought Mr. and Mrs.
McMasters to the door, but before the door
could be burst open he seized the knife afld in

was seized and removed to the police station.

pierce the intricacies of diplomatic negotiations.
And he is too far-sighted a statesman to venture
on a contest against Fxanoe and his obedient
lacquey, Austria, single-handed. There have
always existed very friendly relations between
Prussia and Bussia. King William is the uncle
of the Emperor Alexander, who is known to
possess a great personal attachment for his rela
tive. Since toe seven years’ war toe Bussian
and Prussian forces have never met again as foe3
on toe battle field, and daring toe late Polish
insurrection Prussia has been very obliging to
wards her Northern neighbor by watching close
ly the Polish-Prnssian frontier, and allowing
armed Bussian patrols in pnrsuit of Polish in
surgents to cross into Prussian territory to the
manifest violation of toe existing treaties. The
Czar, King William, and Bismarck, have lately
passed three weeks at the watering place of
Ems in the most intimate intercourse. Thus it
might happen that toe wounded pride of too
“grande nation” which cannot forget, that the
charm which made France the arbiter of Europe
is broken by her own diplomatic failures; by
toe fiasco of toe Mexican expedition, and chiefly
Will Time fete War ix Europe?
The New York Herald, of the 8fch, answer
ing saith:
We cannot say that Spain accepts this man
for king any more than that she aooepts Mont-
pensier or the Prince of the Asturias. In the
event of his candidacy bein$ pushed, oivil war
is a certainty. So much tor Spain herself.
But look at France. The nation is in fever-
heat Napoleon is again pronounced too
slow. Bismarck has outwitted him. It is an
other national humiliation. It is worso than
Sadowa. France, so long the centre of Eu
rope, the pivot of European life, is now re
duced to a second rate position- The cry is
for war. The newspapers again talk: about
llbine boundaries.
But Prussia speaks in constitutional terms.
She says, as is alleged to-day, that the Govern
ment in Berlin will accept ‘ ‘accomplished facts’ ’
io Spain. Such is the actual situation.
What is to be the issue ? Is it to be peace
or war? Is Spain, after all, to give new lil'e’
to Europe ? In answering these questions one
or two points need to be borne in mind. It
ought to be remembered that no king > can be
chosen for Spain who is not first of all ap
proved of by the • Emperor Napoleon. It
ought also to be remembered that in this mat
ter Napoleon will follow Ids usual plan—he
will consult and abide by, the wishes of tho
French people. These two facts borne in
mind, it becomes tolerably clear that if Spain
pushes this matter, Spaiu will place herself
ia antagonism to France.
If Prussia should feel insulted by the tone
of the French press—more, if Prussia should
feel compelled to bid defiance to the haughty
language of the Duke de Grammont, it .will
not be at all wonderful if some of these fine
mornings the Rhine.should seem on fire, and
those beautiful, provinces .that line its banks
should he given up a prey to horrid war.^ War
begun:on this, question will, as a French
Deputy well put it in the Chambers two days
ago, be a war on the: part of France against
the rest of Europe.
Austria, to-day a strict neutral, it i.-: im
possible, might go with France; but in such
an emergency Austria would : be worthless,
and, so far as we can see, France would be
without any other ally, llussia, although in
receipt of special despatches from Paris, to
day, would, most likely, stand aloof, llussia
would compel Austria to be neutral, although
it is said that the Vienna Cabinet has made
an alliance with France. It Prussia stood by
Spain Spain would have no choice but stand
by Prussia.
Italy would not be sorry to see some such
row. We do not say that Victor Emanuel
would take any undue advantage of it; but
the time might be found convenient for driv
ing the French soldiers and the Sacred College,
not to speak of the Pope and the bishops now

Great Britain, of course, will, simply look
on. On no account will the British govern

already, shortly after toe Austrio-Prussian war
at toe time of the Luxembourg difficulty, France
preferred an impertinent demand for the Bhine
frontier; she was met by a peremptory refusal,
and the old knightly King, elated with his late
achievmentsin the field, proudly declared “that
he would not give np a village of the German Em
pire.” And France not being prepared then for
a war of conquest backed down, aud the official
journals hastened to deny that such a demand
had ever been made by the French government.
We repeat, the arrogant tone of the French
press cannot but hurt the pride of the German
nation, which is conscious of being a match for
France. When, therefore, the North German
Berlin Gazette declares “that too French press
is impudent and insulting in regard ' to the ac
tion taken by Prussia on the Spanish question,
and that the selection of Prince Hohenzollern
depends solely on the Spanish Cortes and not
on the wishes of foreign powers,” this semi
official gazette but expresses toe sentiment of
the whole German people. And, indeed, should
the very latest despatch from Madrid prove true,
we are uuable to see by what right any foreign
power can interfere. The French note presup
poses that the selection of Prince Leopold, of
Hohenzollern, is only an intrigue of Prim. But
the despatch above referred to assures us that
Begent Serrano and his Ministers unanimously
confirmed Gen. Prim’s selection, and that toe
friends of tho administration count upon a ma
jority of at least two hundred votes iu toe Cortes
in favor of Hohenzollern. In fact, in Mad
rid the long vexing crown question is considered
to be settled now, for wo learn that the Prince
will enter Spain abont the end of October next,
being escorted from Germany by a Spanish
squadron. There was great rejoicing in the
capital and a hearty welcome was awaiting toe
new King. The Spaniards have a right to choose
their own ruler; they have exercised that right,
should the representatives of the people con
firm the choice. French interference may even
rouse poor down-trodden Spain to take up arms
against imperial Franco ; the Spaniards have
been down-trodden and misruled by priest-craft
and depraved monarohs since three centuries,
but they are not effeminate. They form the
finest looking popnlation of all South Enropean
nations. Even Napoleon I., the greatest. mod
ern prince of-war, when at the hight of his
glory cpuld not but admire he desperate heroic
resistance of the "Spaniards. In the meantime
we nre impatiently awaiting the farther devel
opments of this stirring question. Tho New
York Herald, with its usual grandiloquent not-
to-be-contrndicted style, declares . toe Spanish
crown question to be settlediby ,toe abdication
of ex-Queen Isabella, the crown discending
upon' her son Alfonso. We confess that wo
cuncot concur in this view.

But should everything fail, and should a war,

sorrow. The result will be a gain to us. It
will increase the value of our bonds and it will
swell the tide of European emigration toward
our shores. If, therefore, they must fight, let
them. The crowns of Europe are toys tliat

the crown of Spain is sufficient to involve
Europe in war, pity for Europe!
The New York Tribune of the same date con
cludes an article upon the French and Prussian
crisis, thus:
But the indications clearly point to an imme
diate suspension of the peaceful relations be
tween the two countries. Thero would seem at
first to bo no great danger that the two Powers
would precipitate a war on a question of this
seeming insignificance, but we must not over
look- the fact that the. Bhenish. frontier and
other disputes yet remain unsettled, or at least
nro only temporarily arranged, to the evident
dissatisfaction of Napoleon. Further and more
definite news may dissipate, as we hope, toe
present warlike aspect, but it is vain to attempt
to conceal that toe peace of Europe is seriously
threatened by what was at first an apparently
insignificant intrigue.
j The World of the Sth, discussing the situa
tion, has the following:
We hear, too, of despatches sent from Napo
leon at Paris to King William at Ems, and of
answers to those despatches, denying at once
the past responsibility of Prussia for toe nomi
nation of Prince Leopold, and affirming her
present intention of standing by that Prince
should he accept the crown now tendered to him.
This reported attempt of toe Prussian sovereign
to exculpate himself from the charge of med
dling in a negotiation which it is perfectly obvi
ous that Prim wonld' never have dreamt of car
rying on without the fullest concurrence of toe
Court of-Berlin, is countenanced-by an extract
from the official journal of Berlin, vidav
In this extract the official journalist pretends
never to have so much as heard of toe offer
made to Prince Eeopqld until it "was announced
atrParis. But one interpretation can bo placed
upon these symptoms ol the state of mind into
wnich the Prussian government has been
thrown by too prompt and’ menacing response
of France to toe proposition of fPriin. It is
clear that Prussia shrinks from the prospect of
an armed collision with France upon such a
question. King William’s reported declaration,
that if the Cortes should vote to . confirm the
election of 1’iinco Leopold, Prussia would sup
port him, must be taken, we think, as an indi
cation that in tfce opinion of King William the
Cortes will vote to do no such thing.
Upon toe |aecuraoy or the iuaccuraoy of this
Opinion one may say that the peace of the world
at this moment really depends. We cannot
choose but hope that it may be as accurate in
itself as the use is astute to which we presume
King William to have put it. Our latest ad
vices from Madrid on this head are as contradic
tory as are the tidings which reach us from
every other part of Europe. We hear at one
and tho same time that the Cortes are prepared
to eleot Prinoe Leopold by a two-thirds vote,
'and. that Prim has withdrawn the nomination
of thfe -Prince. The latter seems to us, we must
admit, the more probable story. For, while it
is quite hypothetical just how muoh Spain
might have to hope , from Prussia in the case of
! a serious conflict with France, it is by no
means hypothetical, but, on the contrary, cer
tain aud clear, how much Spaiu in the like case
h:i3 to fear from France. The trumpet of the
French Foreign Office has given no uncertain
sound, and the Legislative Body yesterday res
ponded by increasing the military contingent of
the yoar to a hundred thousand men. .
The Philadelphia Press concludes its specula
tions of the Sth as follows :
All the parlies concerned are at'a’dead lock',
apparently waiting to see which will strike the
first blow. As far as can bo judged from tbe
short summaries of foreign news received over
the - cable, there is a growing, even a decided
feeling in France against Prussia. The ruling
idea is that Prussia is too grasping, never doing
anything without having a feeling of aggran
disement at the bottom. And, no matter how
extended the'time, France will never be satisfied
until toe Bhine becomes her eastern boundary,
as of old. The excuse for a misunderstanding
may arise out of the Spanish difficulty. France
will cot allow one of the Orleans princes to be
King of Spain, and Austria is just as antagonis
tic to the election of a Prussian. • /&. --'< >tnV :
The Philadelphia Age, of Friday, says;
The Paris Gonstitutionnel voices the true
French aspeot of the case when it declares that
the government would consider the Spanish en
thronement of the Prince of Hohenzollern w a
check and a menace to France. That position
cannot be denied, and the French people-will
support the government in any efforts to dispel
the threatening cloud whioh is gathering.so near
their homes. !

Point-Rough Times—He don’t
Think He eau Stand it.
The following letter from the Sooth Carolina
negro cadet at West Point to 'his home folks,
shows that the white cadets are putting him
through a course of sprouts. We want all the
negroes whom their leaders will allow to read
the Telegraph and Messenger to. study it well
These chaps at West Point are pretty much all
Radicals, and think negro suffrage and negro

West Point, N. Y., June 29, 1870.
Dear Friend—Your kind letter should have
been answered long ere this, bnt really I have
been so harrassed with examination and the in
sults and ill-treatment of these cadets, that I
could not write or do anything else scarcely. I
passed toe examination all right and got in, but
my compsnion Howard failed and yras rejected.
Sinoe he went away I have been lonely indeed.
And now these fellows appear to be trying their
utmost to run me off, and I fear they will suc
ceed if they continue as they have begun. We
went into camp yesterday, and not a moment
has passed since then but some one of them hes
been cursing and abusing me. All night they
were around my tent cursing and swearing at
me so that I could not not Bleep two hours all
night. It is just the same at the table, and
what I get to eat I must snatch for like a dog.
I don’t wish to resign if I can get along at all ;
but I don’t think it will be best for me to stay
and take all the abti.cs and insalts that are
heaped upon me. The examination was very
hard this year—harder than ever before—and
since I have been successful in passing I will stay
as long as I possibly can. One of the cadets re-
jused to drill toe squad because I was in it, and
they reduced him from a corporal to a private
for disobedience of orders, and they are all
ifiad abont that. The one who drills the squad
now. is the meanest specimen of humanity
I ever saw. After marching us out to the drill
ground this morning he said to me, “Standoff
one side from the line, you d—d black son of
b—h. You are tco near that white man. I
want you to remember you are not on an equal
footing with tho white men in your class, and
what yon learn here you will have to pick up,
for I wont teach you a d—d toiDg.” And thus
he kept me standing until the captain came
around inspecting, when he pretended that he
put me there to teach me a movement which I
had never practised before. And I could say
nothing at all, or I would have been locked up
for disobedience of orders or direspect to “su
perior officars.” If it ever happens again I
shall deny it to his face and then resign.
If I complain of their conduct to the com
mandant I must prove toe charges or nothing
can be done; and where am I to find one from
so many to testify in my behalf ? If this after
noon’s drill is conducted as this morning’s was,
you need not be astonished at hearing that*I
have resigned. I have borne insult upon insult
until I am completely worn out. I have no good
news for you, but alas! it seems to be getting
worse and worse. I forgot to tell you that out
of eighty-six appointees only thirty-nine passed
tbe examination. They had prepared it to fix
toe colored candidates, but it proved most dis
astrous to the whites. I hope you are all; well
at home. I saw a very fine article relating to
me in the Hartford Courant, and I feel very
grateful to Mr. Capron for his kind words con
cerning mo. .1 hope my brightest hopes wfll be
realized, but I doubt if they wfll ever be here.
Give my kind regards to all,'and write soon
to your much benefited and thankful servant,

"We get the following from the Washington
Bepnblican, of Saturday:
The new Attorney General, Hon. Amos T.
Akerman, took tbe-required oath of' office yes
terday morning before Associate Justice Wylie,
of the District Supreme Court, and immediately;
entered upon the discharge of his duties as head
of the Department of Justice. Before Judge
Hoar left they had some conversation respecting
the clerical force of tho office. Mr. Akerman
said that he would make no changes except for
incompetency. Then, replied Mr. Hoar. yoyi
will certainly retain every gentleman now; con
nected with the office.
The session of the Cabinet yesterday wae not
protracted after two o’clock. Attorney General
Akerman, having taken toe oath of office, was
present as a member for the first time. The
subjects discussed were mainly in. reference to
the con-]-it ion of the frontier and the inadequacy
qf Our forces to suppress any general outbreak
on the part of the Indians. The Chinese ques
tion was incidentally mentioned, but there was
no general interchange of opinion on that sub
ject.
The President informed a prominent Sonator
last night that there was no trnth in the rumor
that he intended to call a special session of the
Senate, for executive business, on the 18th
' LSt.
The new Attorney General has bean consider
ably exercised since his arrival in Washington;
by the manner in which his name is frequently
spelled; but itjis said the annoyancejis trifling
compared with the indignation he manifests on
being addressed as though the initial vowel of
his last name was pronounced with a short
sound. Yesterday he took occasion to correct
toe pronunciation of one of the gentlemen con
nected with his office, informing him that it
was “ a as in ache." Those having' business
with him will please remember this.
