The Greorgia, "Weekly Telegraph and. Journal & Messenger. Telegraph and Messenger. MACON, NOVEMBER 22,1870. The Treaty ltussia Wishes Annulled Sincc~tho commencement of the war between jranco and.Germany, Russia has repeatedly evinced her intention to annul the principal stipulations of the Treaty of Paris, entered into «; the close of the Crimean war. The contract ing Powers of this trenty were France, England, Russia, Sardinia and Tarkey, and the following is a synopsis of the points of most present in terest. It is, of course, the clauses which neu tralise the Black Sea which Russia is most eager to have repealed: Article 9. Mentions that the Sultan grants re forms in regard to his Christian subjects. Article 11. The Black Sea is neutralized. “While open to tho mercantile marines of aU nations its waters and ports are formally and In perpetuity interdicted to vessels of war, ■whether belonging to nations having territory bordoring on it, or otherwise. Article 12. This article prescribes that all reg ulations respecting trade in the Black Sea, shall bo conceived in a spirit favorable to the devel opment of commercial tri factions. Article 13. Tho Black Sea being neutralized by a foregoing provision, Russia and Turkey engage neither to construct nor maintain any naval or military arsenal npon its coast. Articles 20 and 21 concede a portion of Rus sian territory, to be annexed to the Principality of Moldavia. .... Article 22. The Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia are to enjoy, under tho suzerain ty of the Porte, and under the guarrantee of the contracting powers, the privileges and im- munities of which they are in possession. No exclusive protection shall be exercised over them by any of the guaranteeing powers.— There shall be no private right of interference in their affairs. Article 23. The Sublime Porte guarantees to tho aforesaid Principalities an independent and national administration, aB well as fall liberty of worship, legislation, commerce and naviga tion. Article 28. The Principality of Servia will continue to bo dependent npon the Sublime Forte, and subject to stipulations nearly simi lar to thoso named for the other Principalities. Article 80. Russia and Turkey are to retain in their fall integrity their possessions in Asia to the same extent as before the war. Com missioners are to be appointed to settle the boundaries. . Cooling Down. The news this morning would seem to indicate a cooli Dg down of English blood, and, conse quently, abetter prospect for the preservation of peaoe. The Queen is represented as disapprov ing her Prime Minister’s (Granville) course, and protests are heard from other influential sources against a contest with Russia. The Times, however, has not taken the back track, and these murmurs of opposition may be only ripples on the current, after all. Tho Eng lish afe hard to ronse, bat when they do get thoroughly angered, shut their eyes and go it blind. They have been making money hand over fist of late years, and may be somowhat emasculated by “the cankers of a calm world and a long peace,” bnt the old fire is there, and will bnrn as fiercely as ever on proper occasion, If Russia really means mischief, we believe the English people will back Granville, and wish to pnnish the Cossack with all their t>ld vim and heartiness. _ Violetta act L—A friend handed ns, a few days since, a copy of a small paper-covered volume bearing the above title, written by “Cousin Kate,” and edited by Miss Maria J. McIntosh, with the reqnest that we should read it and say exactly what we thought of its merits. We have done so, and with a great deal of pleasure. It is one of the most charmingly simple, yet thoroughly natural and pleasing stories that has fallen under onr eye for a long lime. There is not mnch plot, bnt the story strangely interests, notwithstanding. The char acters aro all well drawn, albeit with rather an old fashioned primness and qnaintness that is very refreshing these days, and the diction is somewhat after the same style. Bnt there is so straining after effect, no mock heroics, no sensationalism—that poison of modern litera- ' tore—from first to last. All is simple, easy, natural, and through and over the whole story there breathes the spirit of a pure, good soul. The author, we judge, to be somewhat of a no vicein the art of storytelling, bnt there is cer tainly very much to encourage to more ambl tious efiorts in the success of a beginning like this. Ltttln Delaware Cotxbs Hkimxln With Globt.—The regular Democratic majority in Delaware before the negroes there were made voters, was about S,000. As there were nearly that number of loil blacks added to the white Radical vote, the latter thought they wonld have a dead sore thing of it at the late election, bat the official result tells a very different story. The figures stand as follows: Ponder, Demo crat, for Governor, has 2,479 majority, and Biggs, Democrat, for Congress, 2,434 majority. It will take another constitutional amendment to turn Delaware over to the Jacobins. The Difference Between l)ewor r »| lc Honesty and Radical Itobbrry-Tne Cost of Nine Tears of Legislation and Two Years ot Radi cal Legislation. We invoke' the attention of the plundered tax payers of this sorely aflheted Commonwealth to the facts and figures set forth in the follow ing communication to the Atlanta Constitution by a correspondent who signs himself T, and B bo is we suppose, an cx-Comptroller General of the State. It is, in our judgment, the best matter with which to fill editorial .space this morning. With the evidence daily cnmnlating of the wholesale, shameless and utterly indefensible spoliation and waste of the people's substance by the greedy, corrupt faolion that now runs riot in Georgia, surely there can be no laggard or deserters from the ranks. The tax-payers of Georgia must change all this, or wake up to find themselves miserable, degra ded beggars. There can be no other result. If they don’t drive Bullock and his gang from power in December, Bollock and his gang will drive them to the poor house. They must take one or the other of these alternatives. That yonr readers and the people of Georgia may see, in a more glaring light, the perfect recklessness and want of conscience, or the total disregard of any responsibly, on the part of the majority of the last Legislature, in their expenditures for themselves, eta, I have concluded to copy, from the Comptroller Gen eral’s reports, the expenses of former Legisla tures for nine years immediately prooeding, and during, the war, in part, for “pay of mem bers and officers of the Legislature.” For the years following the expenses were : For 1855-56 (biennial session $163,44G 08 For 1837 114,242 25 For 1858 95,529 40 For 1859 115,849 96 For 18G0 114,427 52 For 1861 62,849 36 For 1862 94,604 66 Total expenses for nine years $866,385 53 Expenses of last Legislature for lit tle over two years 979,055 00 Excess..... $112,669 47 Showing the expenses of the last Legis lature for pay of its own members and officers to ba $112,609 47 more than that of other Leg islatures for nine years! And what is more, daring one of these nino years (18G3) the cur rency that tho members then received was worth bnt five cents on the dollar in gold. And what makes the matter look still more extraordinary, daring six of these years (1855, ’56, ’57, ’58, *59 and’60) the number of the members of the Legislature ranged from 54 to 82 more than the present Legislature. From 1855 to 1800 eaoh county had a Senator; now there is bnt one Senator to three counties. In 1855 to 1857 there were 118 Senators and 155 Representa tives—273 in Ml—and 54 more than the present Legislature, which consists of 44 Senators and 175Representatives—219 in all; in 1858, 126 Senators and 163 Representatives—289 in all— 70 more than the present Legislature. In 1859 and 1860, there were 132 Senators and 169 Rep resentatives—301 in all, or 82 members more than the present Legislature. In 1861, 1862 and 1863 (three of the nine years), there were 45 Senators and 169 Representatives—212 in all—and only six members less than the present Legislature. And mark it, here, Mr. Editor, that these nine years’ expenditures were made when the people of Georgia had from $500,000,000 to $700,000,000 of property, while the two years’ expenditures were made when they had but about $200,000,000 of property. Yon farther state that of this vast snm ($979,035 00) over $125,000 was for clerk hire by the last Legislature. The Comptroller’s reports, from whioh wa obtained the gross amounts expended for mem bers’ and officers’ pay for the years above stated, did not separate'the gross amount paid for clerk hire except for the years I860, 1862 and 1863. For these years the pay of the Se cretary of the Senate, the Clerk of the House and their clerks, were as follows: For 18G0 $15,564 00 For 1861 7.380 00 For 1862. 12,425 00 For 1863 8,800 00 Atxbktiox is invited to the following bonne bouehe, from Forney’s paper. It speaks for it self: B. E. Lee is to have a statue in Richmond. The leader of the rebel armies is to be cast in bronae or out in atone. Future generations are to look npon his likeness, that treason may be nurtured and live. He who merited a traitor’s death on the scaffold is to be honored as a dem igod. A toad spitting at a dead lion; the pen in dicting the above was actuated by the same ' jealousy felt by a skunk in a flower garden. Fctubb readers of American history will not fail to be struck with the close resemblance be tween G6n. Lee and Gen. Grant in declining booses. A mansion in Richmond, an estate and annuity in Eogland and a house in Lexing ton were all in torn tendered to the former and declined. A honso in New York, a house in Galena and a house in Washington were all ten dered to Gen. Grant, who—well, there is no use following the parallel farther, we leave that for history.—N. O. Times. The “Incidentals” Gkab,—Since May 1st, Bollock has spent $5,500 of the people’s money . on what he puts down as “incidentals”.—a very convenient cave for all sorts of miscellaneous jobbery and plander. Previous to that time he had grabbed, under the same cover, $42,800. Daring Got. Jenkins’ whole term of office the people had only to pay $350 for “incidentals. Let’s stop this leak by kicking out of office the gang that grease themselves with its proceeds. The sad intelligence of the decease of‘the Saltan of Zanzibar, borne by the cable to onr shores, will cause a thrill of Borrow wbe ever his virtues are appreciated. He fees born of rich, but not virtuous parents, and, though black, was immoral to the higheet degree. He Was an enthusiastic promoter of the slave trade. He also painted in water-oolors and sent several pictures to the county fair.—Boston Post.

THE GEORGIA PRESS. General Lawton will deliver an enlogy at Sa vannah, on the 19th of January next, on the life, character and services of General Lee. The 10th is the birthday of the dead hero. We clip the following items from the Savan nah News of Wednesday: Brutal Assault act Probable Murder*— Mrs. Ellen Snell, living on the Thunderbolt Road, near the old Shell House, about five miles from this city, was brutally assaulted by a negro last Tuesday night, abont twelve o’clock, and it is thought that she will not reoover. The case was brought to the attention of Justice Oliveira, who immediately went to the scene of the shock, ing occurrence. It seems that Mrs. Snell had recently sold a horse and bnggv, and the negro who committed the assault, in all probability, thought to obtain the money which he supposed she had in her possession. He went to her honse, under the pretext of getting some spirits of turpentine, and while in conversation with the unfortunate woman struck her over the left eye with some sharp instrument, fracturing her skoll and ren dering her insensible. In this condition she was discovered by Mr. Gilpin yesterday afternoon, and be at once took steps to have the proper assistance ren dered. Besides the wound over the eye, there are several other braises npon the head, and the left hand was so swollen that a gold rin<; upon one of the fingers was completely burieci in the flesh, and had to be filed off. It is thought that there is no possible chance for the recovery of Mrs. Snell. The negro is still at large. - Maoon Jurors.—We notice npon the otreets a goodly namber of Maconites who have been summoned as jurors before the several Courts now being held in this city, and are now grum bling fearfully therefor. Some say they have families to look after; others say (and with some show of truth) that onr whisky cannot be gin to compare with their whisky, while the balance console themselves by the reflection that “this witness and juror business is a con founded humbug anyhow.” Cotton tor Liverpool.—The ship George Hurlbut, Captain Masson, was cleared on yes terday by Messrs. Wilder <k Fullarton, for the port named above, with 3,165 bales of upland cotton, weighing 1,535,324 pounds, and valued at $225.G57 27. Mr. J. H. Gray bill cleared on yesterday the British bark Onward, Captain Flinn, for the above named port, with 1,737 bales of upland cotton, weighing 828,793 pounds, and valued at $120,280 10. Change in Bank Officers.—Mr. J. E. Gaudry has resigned the position as Cashier of the Mer chants’ National Bank of this city, and Mr. 8. O Talley has been elected in his place. Mr. Gandxy has accepted the position of Cashier of the Southern Bank of Georgia. Foster and Fannie.—Foster Blodgett and Isham Fannin arrived last night from Augusta. They visit onr city for the purpose of recon structing the “oolored troops.” Mr. Cornelius Jordan, an old and highly re spected citizen of Washington oounty, died of paralysis on Friday night last. In the case of Flewellen versos Moses and others, tried at Columbus on Monday, Judge Johnson decided the Relief law to be constitu tional. The Democrats of Augusta have nominated the following ticket for aldermen: First Ward—John U. Meyer, E. H. Rogers, C. F. Lewis. Second Ward—John B. Pour- nelle, Dr. John 8. Coleman, John S. Cook. Third Ward—Alexander Phillip, Dr. DeSaossnre Ford, James Gorgan. Fourth Ward—W. B. Young, Pat Walsh, B. Doris. The dwelling house of Messrs. Martin and Larkin Coetan, in Columbus, was burglarized on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and every, thing moveable in it carried off. It was s dean sweep. Tne San has the following items: Monday afternoon two gentlemen, who K *i for some hour been “steaming up” in the Otyy, walked onr the upper bridge, diraaUd themselves of their heavy winter clothes, jumped into the Chattahoochee, and for half an honr or more, swim up, down, and aoross the stream, which considerably cooled their heated blood. One was completely sobered thereby; the other, three hours after, claimed to be sober, bat seemed to stagger worse than when he first en tered the water. Come to Grief.—One of the lowest of lewd Women was found by policemen Monday night, stretched on the pavement on Randolph street, drunk as a “biled owl,” fast asleep, and nude as Eve in the garden. She had been thoroughly blacked from head to toe. The c daboeBe re ceived her. ' Thieving, as cold weather approaches, seems on the increase. Wood, fences,.bridge flooring, in faot everything burnable,' suffers. Hogs, cattle, poultry, and vegetables are not safe, unless the owner, or his good dogs,' are wide awake night and day. Thieves were never bolder or more numerous since the war. CoL Sam Knox, one of the most prominent and popular citizens of Franklin county, died on the 5th instant. The people of Athens voted, on Saturday, on the question of $200,000 to build the North Eastern railroad from Athens to Clayton, with the following result: For subscription, 446; against subscription, 4. Plain Talk to Mr. Grant from Those who Helped.Make Him President. The St. Lonis Democrat, the ablest Radical organ of the West outside of Chicago, and whose candidate for Governor of Missouri has jast ■wept the State against Grant’s man by 40,000 majority, has an editorial in its issue of Friday addressed “To the President." We. make the following extract. It’s talk with the bark on, and no mistake: What is it that the peopie disapprove ? Wo can inform yon, air! They deem it an outrage that yon have tried to control a State eleotion by gross abase of yonr power of removal and appointment They maintain that it is wrong for a President to use that power to force him self upon the people for a second term. They desire yon, in fntore, to pay better attention to yonr own duties at Washington—the duties which your masters, tho people,'assigned to you, and not to spend your time in meddling with State elections. It seems to the people that yon deserve severe rebuke, alike for neg lecting your legitimate affairs, and for abusing the power entrusted to yon, and, being free men, neither awed by yonr name nor seduced by your offices, they give you that rebuke very plainly. The first duty of a President is to keep the pledge made to the people when a candidate. This you have not done. You promised to give the country peace, and pledged yourself to a platform in which the removal of political dis abilities was a most prominent feature. Soon after you. became President, you meditated com pliance with this pledge by proclaiming amnesty, and again by recommending to Congress re moval of disabilities, but in each case unscrup ulous partisans, who want still longer to be able to elect mere tools of their own from Southern States, turned you from your purpose. At this day you are their tool. Simon Cameron, as un savory a man as ever sat in the Senate, coritrols you as if you were his hired man. It is di& creditable that a President should be so con trolled by any one ; doubly discreditable that be should be controlled by such a man; trebly discreditable that he should thus be led to de part from the solemn pledges by which his elec tion was secured. Other duties you have greatly neglected.— Yon should have aided the country to resump tion of specie payments, and to a thorough re duction and reform of taxation, bnt while yon have done something yon have failed to use yonr efforts for these reforms. It was yonr duty to reform the civil service, and to make it no longer tho tool of unscrupulous partisans. Starting with that avowed intent, and earning public approval by mnch improvement in the character of officials, yon now have suffered Hoar, and at last Cox, to be driven from the public service, simply because of their honeity and independence. It is most painful to see the wide difference between your professions and your performances. Instead of having “no policy to enforce against the will of the people,” yon have tried to force the San Domingo treaty npon the Senate, and McClnrg npon Missouri, in both cases using patronage most wrongfully. Instead of reforming thepublic service, youhave in one respect degraded it. At this day, when any man is appointed to office, people ask at once, what personal favor has Tie rendered or engaged to render to General Grant! Not even Bnckhanan gave offices to any men who had made him presents. And even Johnson had for excuse a public policy a little broader and higher than a mere desire for re-election. “Blunderer” and the Relief Law. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The array of platitudes and truisms, so far as they apply to common times, Bet forth by “Blunderer.” in relation to the “ relief law,” does not touch the case. It is not a question as to borrowing money, living extravagantly, and refusing to pay back, simply; nor of baying property and refusing to pay, even though able. Nor is it a question of spendrift recklessness or overtrad ing that is to be met in the present ease; bnt one first mnoh derbolts of heaven— against which agencies he eonld not insure; and then compel him to meet the exactions of thofie who hold what purport to be the representatives of that property (his note), just the same as it there had been no stripping by the Government in the case. If that be justioe, in the behalf of whioh the amen ities of the Christian religion are invoked, or the flight of purity and shame deprecated, what shall we say of it, as compared with that of the Indian, who unbinds his victim's limbs when he grants the privilege of e race for life, not tying him down and mocking at bis inability should he fail to rise. In this view of the case I ask with Blunderer, “Would it be justioe, would it be equity,” to enforce the laws of ten yean ago upon those oontraots, the very foundations of which have been overturned in her extremity by the State, and when she refuses to pander to snoh iniquity by withholding the u|e of her power through her courts, except to such only as come in with clean bands, is she to be denounced for thus protecting her citizens against the few Shy. looks that clamor for their “legal” rights, so- called, in the name of all the virtues whioh they fail to illustrate ? The attempt to make it appear that the poor are the parties likely to suffer by the relief law, is too transparent to deoeive anybody. Of course the lawyers will be all against it, espe cially if commissions depend on what is “got.” Bnt very few of those who have not refused Confederate money when it was the only enr- rency of the oountry, or who have not refused a fair and equitable settlement since the peaoe, will suffer by it, and only those who have done both and wonld accept nothing as a general proposition, only get what theydoserve by these aots of enforced Equity. ‘-Uncle Ned” aad the Scalawag. A Baltimore correspondent of Ahe New York World, under the head «f “Humors of the Reg istration,” tells the following good one: An old negro whose venerable appear&noe in dicated that he bad seen more than the allotted threescore years and ten, presented himself for registration in Bladensburg, when the following conversation took plaoe between “Uncle Ned” and a Radical who was watching the proceed ings in the interest of bis party: Radical—How long have you lived in this dis trict, uncle ? Uncle Ned—More dsn fifty year. I’se only been to Washington once or twice in dat time. An’ boss, (to the registrar) I want to be regis tered on de right side. I’se gwine to vote de Democratic ticket. Radical—How’s that? You owe your free dom to the Republicans; the Democrats didn’t free you. Uncle Ned—Yon’se mistaken ’boot dat, boas. De Badioals didn’t free me. X was raised by Democrats and owned by Democrats, and my massa he freed me- Then a happy thought striking the old fellow, he tamed to his questioner and asked: “Didn’t you use to own niggers, boss ?” Radical—Yes. Uncle Ned—Well, did you free ’em ? Radical—No. The laws of the State in whioh I lived would not permit me to do that Unole Ned—Weil, den, why didn't you ran dem off to Canady, like yon did when you come here and went to fooling wid gentlemen’s niggers? That scalawag didn’t “interview” any. more darkeys that day. Two Ku-KIuren eaaptured in Mississippi last week aad nnmasked, proved to be XVths, pace as the driven soot ; v ' - BY TEI/EGKRiA^HD New York, November 17.—The Herald’s spe cial from London Bays that at a Cabinet Coun cil yesterday, it wa3 resolved to aot decisively in regard to the Russian complication. War is imminent, and great popular indignation is ex pressed against Russia. The jGologne Gazette of the 15th, says that after an interview with the Russian'Minister at Vienna, Baron von Benst informed 1108310 that he had. 100,000 troops on the Turkish frontier, and-that Austria was perfectly prepared to t ike the field if Eng. land would give her consent. . Chicago, November 17.—Farnsworth’s ma jority in the Second Illinois District is 1881, and Moore’B in the Second Illinois, 671. Mobile, November 17.—There was a killing, freezing black frost last night, the seoond frost this season. Absentees are returning and the oity is rap idly filling up. . v London, November 17.—All thepapers speak of Russia's demand as insolent. England will stand firm to treaty stipulations, and will not stand alone. Defensive preparations throughout England are extensive. Gibralter. is being re- provisioned. The Government is pnrohasing large quantities of powder. There is intense excitement in Government circles relative to the threatened complications growing out of Russia’s attempt to secure a re vision of the treaty. The report of the capture of the steamers Hansa and Leipsig is incorrect, as they are safe at Bremen. — New York, November 17.—Messrs. O. El- riohs & Go. have received messages of the safe arrival of the Hansa, Leipsig and Hanover at Bremen and Haven, after having tonohed at Grimsby, England. ~ Madrid, November 17.—The Cortes have elected the Duke of Aosta King of Spain by 191 to 120. The city is animated, bnt there are no disorders. The Duke o Aosta has been proclaimed King by the President of the Cortes. The CorteB gave twelve blank votes. Philadelphia, November 17.—The verdict in the Moheiman case is murder in the first de gree. Paris, November 17,-^The general convic tion is that English statesmanship is at fault. The country ib wholly unprepared for war. The Secretary of War is hastening the arming of the Nation. SecnritieB are declining, and breadstuffs are advancing. All the great pow ers are ready to reconsider the Paris treaty. Granville replying to Gortschakoff’s circular denounces the right of Russia to reoognize the European situation as releasing her from solemn treaty stipulations. The Times, in a strong article on the grave situation, says if Russia puts her fleet on the Black Sea, Turkey should be able to sweep it off, if not, England and the other -powers are obliged to do so. Tours,November 17.—Masore has again been surrendered by the Germans. A lively artillery battle is progressing. The French have occu pied Dreux. The Eastern question is eagerly watched here. Lyons, November 17.—The Prussians have ten thousand infantry with cavalry and cannon at Dijon. Berlin, November 17.—A sortie from Belfort yesterday was repulsed by the Prussians. New York, November 17.—The World’s spe cial from London says the peace at any price party in the Cabinet find themselves unable to resist the popular demand for war against Russia, unless she abandons her present posi tion. Granville told Gladstone they must choose between'going with the tide, or ont of office; for that moment they have yielded them. The members who oppose the position assumed by Granville in his reply to Gorfschakoff, are Lowe Childers, Cardwell, Brace and Ayrton. The truth is, Granville sent his rep y in hot haste, without consulting his colleagues, and then informed them that the Country was com mitted to his position, which he eonld not and wonld not recall. The Morning Post says, editorially, the cause of France has now “become the canse of Europe. All neutral States are bound to assist her to ob tain a peace and leave her intact, .or aid her to continue the war, in order to hold Prussia en gaged, while England, Austria, Italy and Tar key whip Russia into submission. Either Prus sia must sign an easy peace to liberate her force, or Franoe, declining, will once more prove herself the saviour of Europe. The Standard has a bitter attack upon Rus sia and Prussia, who, it says, conspired to commit a monstrous act of perfidy and violence —an audacious contempt of morality, introduc ing ohaos and a series of endless European wars. The existence of no English Ministry is worth a weaks purchase, that wonld dare not give fight to this insolent challenge. The World’sspecialfrom Florence dated 14tb, says Cardinal Antohelli has addressed a strong protest to the powers against the' occupation oftheQnixinaL He said should Victor Emanuel enter Rome the Pope will depart for Malta. The World's special from Tours to-day says that numerous reports reach here stating that Trochu made a magnificent sortie on the 15th inflicting an immense loss on the Prussians, and establishing communication with General D’Aurelle. The details of the fighting are in* oomplete, but the substance of the report is that the main attack was made along the roads leading through St. Cloud, Sevres and Versailles, while feints were made toward St. Dennis. A Tribune special from London says Gran ville’s circular is approved in every opposite quarter. .Its firm tone has created astonish ment, especially among tones, whose organ this morning is silent Leading Liberals are scarcely less surprised. Yesterday they expect ed an acquiescent policy, and were prepared to defeat it To-day there is no such indica tion. Granville has gone beyond the point where public opinion will not support him. Some dipolmats say openly they see no way out of it bnt war, bnt it is equally difficult to. see how this Cabinet can go to war or take steps leading directly to war without being firet reconstructed, nor is it yet the opinion at the foreign offioe that Russia means to bring on war or England be compelled to accept the conflict. They say the situation is undoubtedly grave, but before opin ion can be foxmetj the answer of Gortsohakoff most be known which oannot be probably for a fortnight. Granville’s dispatch was delivered by the Queen’s messenger at St. Petersburg on Tues day. Instant reply is not expected, nor is it believed Gortsohakoff anticipates an answer like that he received. It is also affirmed that although an understanding is believed to exist between Gortsohakoff and Bismarck that Gort- ■chakoff did not consult Bismarok’s wishes as to the iime of promulgating this declaration, and that Bismarek desired it postponed. Washington, November 17.—It appears by official date that daring the eight months that ended September thirty-first last, the exports of wheat amounted to over twenty-three millions of dollars; wheat and flour nearly twelve mil lions; raw cotton one hundred and fifty-two millions ; and leaf tobacco over eleven mil lion dollars. Granville’s position, as understood here, is that Russia may ask an abrogation of the treaty by the usnal routine, but may not disregard its provisions until so abrogated. The strength of the United States army is wm-i'S * -i ’ *- -V' • ’i . 5*'r' i- ■ ;. Senator Schurz called at the White House, but failed to see the President The Star Btates that the President was engaged in answering private letters.. The following is another analysis of Gran ville’s note: Earl Granville’s reply to Princo Gortschakoff denies tho right of Russia to rec ognize the European situation as releasing her from the obligations of a solemn treaty. It also denies that, assuming as true that some contracting power considers itself released from a treaty, the others sre at liberty to disregard. It further says thatj' instead Of making any such announcement, Russia should* have invited the powers to consider tho subject. New Orleans, November 17.—Charles Dar- nih went home tight to-day, when his wife, aged sixty-five, struck him.several blows on the head with an axe, killing him. Weather cold and frosty, and Ice formed this morning. San Francisco, November 17.—The steamer China has arrived. Concord, N. H., November 17.—The State Labor Reform Committee has called a conven tion to nominate Congressmen and State offi cers. The call is addressed to the friends of labor reform and economy, impartiality and honesty in national and State governments. Wilmington, November 17.—Oh this, the tlurd day of the Fair, the visitors exceed those of yesterday. The tournament' comes off to morrow.

Tbe Fashionable t'lcrsymea ot the Metropolis, and their Pay* Ncvt York correspondence of the Troy Times J In the Episcopal order there are Vinton and Dix in the high church, with the Tyngs, both father and son, in tho low church. In the Pres byterian we have Adams of Madison square and HaU of the Fifth avenne. In the Reformed Dutch branch there axe Ormiston, a new comer, and Dewitt, who is now jast entering ihe re tired list. The Baptist can boast the learned Williams, the heavy-toned Armitage, and the noisy Westoott, while the Methodists have Smitb, Newman, Harrower, and a score of other acceptable divines. Ont of all this number, Beecher being a Brooklyn man,there are but three men of first-class talents. These are Dewitt,who, as I have said, is just now abont retiring, Tyng senior, wbe is also nearly worn out, and Hall of the Fifth avenue. The latter, being not much over forty, may be expected to yield considera ble service, and is in all respects the most able and most popular preacher in this oity. There are a large number of useful and worthy clergy men here, but with all their excellence they have not reached distinction. It is perhaps mnoh to their advantage that they have not, for an excess of reputation is one of a professional man’s greatest mishaps. HaU reoeives about $10,000, not aU salary, bnt perquisites and donations wiU reach this figure. His salary is marked by a distinction peculiar to his own case, being payable in gold. This arose from his being called from Dublin, where all currency is on a gold basis, and also beoanse be came at a time when onr paper money was fluctuating in no small degree. In order, therefore, to plaoe his call on a solid basis, it was made payable in gold. Dr. Tyng’s offioe is worth $7,000 per annum and a comfort able reotory. Dr. Potter, of Grace tihurch, takes in not less than $10,000, beside the use of the best rectory in New York. Dr. Adams, being very rich, is not bo weU paid, bis berth being not worth more than $6,000; and Howard Crosby, who is also rich, is paid in a manner equally poor. Dr. Dewitt and Dr. Ormiston, of. the Dutch body, get $7^000. Dr. Dix, of Trinity, gels $10,000, and Vinton, bis right- hand man, must receive nearly as mnoh. As Trinity has an estate worth twenty millions, her clergy ought not to go hungry. From the rates above mentioned, clerical pay declines to the pittanoe received by the oity missionaries, whioh is about $800 per annum. These men, instead of enjojing a parsonage of palatial ex tent, are glad to have a pair of apartments in a tenement house, and instead of being invited to splendid weddings and similar entertain ments, they are caUed to mingle with the poor est and most degraded of society. Our clergy have Very handsome perquisites for uniting the young and happy couples who abound in onr rich congregations. It must be understood that the prestige of high clerical po sition adds mnch to the eclat ot a marriage file. As a matter of coarse there is a great impropri ety in demanding the time of a distinguished minister without a fitting compensation. Such men as Tyng and Beecher are not to be put off, like a country dominie, with a five dollar bill. Any one who is ambitious of advertising his marriage by snoh pompous officials should touoh a $50 note at least, and I presume that from $100 to $500 are the figures most in vogue, but double the last has been fingered oh snoh an occa sion by happy divine. In addition to these fees, onr popular clergymen are often the recipients of handsome presents. If any wealthy member of the society desires to distinguish himself among them, let him make the pastor a New Year present of $100 or $500, or let him send the honored divine a fine piano. It will soon be noised abroad with the most flattering com ments, and the next time the donor appears in church he will observe that the eye of the pub- lio is directed toward him in a very marked and gratifying manner. Mr. Gbrely suggests the following substitute for the profane and vulgar praetioe which he observes is becoming altogether too oommao in this community, of calling men “Iiare!”—■ “Sir, you are guilty of a tuppressio verl” The venerable reformer then affectionately adds, “I consider this no “slouch’ of a suggestion.’’— [V.

A SCORNED WOMAN’S FURY. . lawyer shot dead ur the mid it Of uii FAMILY. San Francisco, November 4.—Judge A. P. OritteDdcn, one of the ablest lawyers of this oity,' was shot and killed last evening by Mrs. LAura Fair. Judge Crittenden had crossed over to Oakland to meet his wife and daughters, who had been East for several months, and was re turning with' them and his two sons to this city in the ferryboat El ; Captain when the tragedy occurred. Mr. Crittenden was seated outside of the saloon on the upper deck, with his back against the wheel-house, his wife nestled closely by his side. Close to them was their little son, and a ftw _foet farther back was seated-Mira Crittenden, a yoang lady of abont eighteen. The elder brother, Parker Crittenden, was on the lower deck looking after his mother’s bag- gftge. To the left, with her back to the saloon and facing Miss Crittenden, sat a woman alone by herselt, dressed in a loose suit of black,.with a long cape hung from her shouldors, under which she carefully concealed her hands. There was, besides, a thick veil over her face, a large muffler which completely concealed her month and chin. She sat there almost unnoticed and unobserved by any one, although two or three remarked that she must be an invalid from the way she was bundled up, and thonght it strange she should be sitting outside in the cold raw air of a November evening. The boat had scarcely reached deep water when THE SHARP CRACK OF A PISTOL was heard, which brought everybody to their feet. The cry instantly rang through the boat that some one was murdered, and men and women with their blanched checks rushed in every direction, some from fright and many in pursuit of the murderer. It was a frightful scene. There on the floor, unconscious ot all that surrounded him, lay Judge Crittenden. His wife had fainted away, and his daughter was on her knees with clasped hands, crying oat bitterly, “papa, speak to me ; oh! speak to me once more! You will not die, will you, papi?” But he did not answer; only a low gurgling sound was heard as if the wounded man was gasping for breath. Dr. Powers of New York city, who was just returning from a visit to the Yosemite Valley, fortunately was on board the boat, and hasten ing to Mr. Crittenden’s side, gave directions as to h is treatment. On reaching the shore a mat tress was procured, on which the wounded man was carefully laid and carried to an'express wagon In which he was conveyed to his resi dence, 891 Ellis street He lingered in an un conscious state until this morning, when he died. THE MURDERESS, Mrs. Fair, is a tall, Blight woman, and there are traoes in her faoe which indicate that she was once beautiful. She advanoeed upon Mr. Crittenden with a nerve and coolness worthy of a Wilkes Booth, placed the pistol within two feet of hi9 breast, fired, dropped the pistol npon the deck, and ran, getting into the .crowd of passengers. The ball entered Mr. Crittenden’s right breast, under the nipple. He sat for a few seconds as if nothing had happened to him, and then rose and fell senseless to the floor. It was done so suddenly that neither his wife, nor son, nor daughter, who were near him, could realize what had occurred till they saw him prostrate and bleeding before them. It was folly five minutes before the murderess was discovered, and then she was found stand ing in a cool and collected manner, among the crowd usually on the evening boat. On being charged with the deed, she admitted it immedi ately, saying: “I did it, certainly. Yes, I did it. I was looking for the clerk of the boat to give myself np. He has rained me and my child, and I MEANT TO NTT.T. him.” Parker Crittendon, the son, who was on the lower deck at the time of the deadly attaek, on being informed of it, said, immediately, “I know who did it; I knew it wonld come to this.” He was terribly excited, and when he came face to face with Mis. Fair, it was with difficulty he could be prevented from wreaking his revenge ful wrath upon her. Mrs. Fair was arrested by Captain Bintzell, of the Harbor Police, who happened to be in the boat, and was conveyed to the City Prison. Here she became so violent that it was necessary to send for a medical man to devise some means of quieting her. He ad ministered sti-uulants, but they rather increas ed than lessened bor ravings. At one time a glass of water was given her, when she took Abe glass betweenher teeth and crushed it to pieces. A large piece got into her mouth, and had the physician not been very quick,'she would have swallowed it; but he caught her by the throat and forced the glass from her mouth. An opi ate was given her, and at ten o’clock she was very quiet. THE MURDERED MAN. Mr. Crittenden is a nephew of the late Hon. J. J. Crittenden, and was one of the most prom inent citizens of this city. As a lawyer he had few equals, and po superiors among those prac tising in San Francisco. His opinions npon. any question are generally considered to be the law. For many years be has been associated with 3amuel M. Wilson in the practice of the law, and no legal firm has enjoyed a larger' or more valuable run of business. He is ;>opular among the members of the bar, and Governor Haight showed his appreciation of bis ability by appointing him reporter of the Supreme Court, whioh eommisaion was handed him yesterday morning. His loss will be keenly felt in the profession of whioh he .is so great an orna ment WHO IS MRS. FAIR t The woman whose desperate deed bits star tled the community is one whose ch.racter is well known to Californians. Her maiden name is said to have been Lane, and the first known of her in this 8tato was when she became tbe wife of Col. Wm. B. Fair, at one time Sheriff of Sacramento connty, a gentleman of acknowl edged accomplishments and of considerable wealth. So infatuated was he with her that every caprice and whim of her’s was gratified, and in a few years she had squandered his splendid fortune. But when he became a bank rupt she east him off and took np with another man. Fair was a man of tender sensibilities, and so deeply did bis disgrace wear on him that one uightin 1858 he entered the office of Dr. Morphy, an intimate friend, and, after remain ing a few minutes, took ont a pistol and shot himself dead. After this Mrs. Fair married again, was divorced, married again, and left the State. She was not heard of for some time, until a series of articles in Eastern papers brought her before the public again, and de tailed her marvelous adventures and escapades in Mexico, whither Bhe had gone to play THE ROLE OF AN ADVENTURESS, and in it she is stated to have succeeded ad mirably. She emigrated to Virginia City in 1861, and opened the Taboo House, where she first met Crittenden. He became so taken np with her that he for a time forgot aU things else. When the late rebellion first broke out she was a strong Southern sympathizer; and when the whole Pacific coast was in a state of doubt as to tbe side it would deolare in favor of, she made her appearanoe in the streets of Virginia with the “stars and bars,” in one hand and a cocked revolver in tho other, and dared any person to raise the stars and stripes in her presence. It is stated that one patriot was bold enough to faoe her, and he raised the old flag. She shot at and missed him. She also raised the Confederate flag over her honse, and defied any one to pull it down. Great exoitement and ill-feeling was caused by this display on her part, bnt the flag was finally lowered, some per sons entering the honse daring the night end cutting the halliards. When the heat of politi cal excitement had passed sway, she was ar rested and tried. Crittenden defended, and procured her aoqoitaL Shortly afterward she oamo to this oity and w! '. TOOK TO THEATRICALS, after playing minor parts in this city and Sacra mento, she realized that she was not intended for an actress, and made her exit from the field of mimio life to take part in drama, more thrill ing, as it was truer then any produced by the brain of the dramatist. After her retirement from the stage, she made herself quite oonapio- uons at balls and theatres. Latterly ahe became acquainted with a man of means in this city named Schneider, and culminated the intimacy in marriage. After BEE WEEKS OF WEDDED BLISS, and after finding that her liege lord kept a tight string on his money-bags, ahe eonooeted a little plot that rid her of this last man. A divoroe ■rit followed, whioh she won, and the decree wM/mly signed on Tuesday last. Then again sb» was forgotten until yesterday, when she brought herself into more terrible notoriety than ever. At midnight, the prisoner was under tbe in fluence of a strong narcotic, and was resting quietly. During her ravings she was continually up caking of man of prominence in this city, end claiming them as W friends. Thephyai- ettta in attendance gives it aehis opinion that Bhau.
