Tho change of chairmanship of the Commit tee on Foreign Eolations was discussed all day.

The winds are everywhere light or fresh, no serious disturbance is anywhere indicated. Threatening clouds very generally prevail north of the Ohio valley, ana the same with occa sional rains on the Atlantic and Golf coasts. Probabilities: It is probable that cloudy weath er will prevail on Sunday in the Gulf and Cen tral States, and that an area of diminishing pressure will be developed in Ohio to-night. Fresh winds and cloudy weather are indicated for the Atlantic coast. Mobile, March II.—There was severe rain andthunder to-day, lasting five honrs.

Captain Carlos Cerice Tomenta, before being led to execution at Cienfugas, was married. The Tribune of to-day says, editorially: “Tho impolicy of removing Mr. Sumnerfrom the chairmanship of tho Committee on Foreign Relations,'without bettor pretext than his dis cordant social relations with the White House and State Department, must now be clearly manifest to the dullest official at Washington. No debatesince the Santo Domingo Commission was authorized, has aroused so much feeling or elicited snch strong language as that of yester day, on the election of tho standing committees of the Senate. It seems plainer than we conld wish, from the line of that debate and from the language of tho influential journals of the coun try, from which we quote, that a now cause of dissension has been needlessly forced upon tho Republican party.” The Herald says editorially: Until yesterday the Republicans felt confident of carrying New Hampshire by at least seventeen hundred majority; but the news of the action of the Senate caucus is reported to have some what shaken their confidence. Yesterday evening prominent Republican published an article denunciatory of President Grant, for his course towards the Massachusetts Senator, which has, give the is uncertain, but it i3 evident that the quarrel between Grant and Stunner is destined to pro duce a war of factions in the ranks of their party, at least in New England.

The German Ton Tralle Music Hall was attacked and occupied by tho French, and several per sons were injured in the meleo. The Swiss Federal Council, at once, ordered the adoption of military measures to put an end to the tu mult, and prevent its recurrence. Disturbances, nevertheless, were resumed on Friday, when Ton Tralle Hall, of the Germans, was again stormed by the French, and the German flag was tom to pices. Subsequently a large number of people of Zurich, who sympathized with Germans, attacked the prison in which 16 officers of the French Mobile Guard, who were arrested the previous day, were imprisoned. The Swiss soldiers guarding the prison at once fired upon and repulsed the mob, but, unfor tunately, killed and wounded several innocent people in honsos on the opposite side of the street. The riot has been thoroughly quelled, fanlry, and two batteries of artillery to assiBt in keeping the peace. Farther disturbances are apprehended. Rome, March 11.—Disturbances occurred this morning in Jesus’ Church. Tnough there was considerable fighting, no person was wounded. Order was promptly restored by the authorities. London, March 11.—Eleven were killed and twenty-three wounded by an accident on the Northwestern Railway to-day. The report that Emperor Napoleon is coming to Chiselhurst is premature. He is not expect ed at present. Saturday evening, the 4th inst., about 74 o clock, a fire broke out at Meridian, Miss., in the 8tore of T. Sturges, resulting in the destruc tion of the entire block on Front, between Lee and Johnson streets. The following are the names of the sufferers with tbe amounts of their losses, as given by the Gazette: ' Hurlbntt Bro.’s store and stock, insured for §13,000; Theo. Sturges, two buildings and stock, insured for §9,000; Bosenbaum & Guliy, store and stock, insured for §3,000; the oh I Henry House, occupied as a family grocery, moat of the stock lost; Mrs. M. E. Chadwick’s storehouse, insured for §2,000; MeCaskilL in sured for §800; house owned by J. W. Harvey, occupied [by M.. Boos, loss heavy, some insur ance on goods; Fry’s shoe shop; Hand’s saloon; h<mse owned by Dr. Broach, unoccupied; the old Tennebaum building, recently purchased, and one payment made by Mrs. H. Scott, not insured—furniture, etc., loss to the amount of §3,000. Total losses about §75,000, with §28,- 000 insured. The fire originated in the garret of Sturges’ store, where there had been no fire d’jtiiig the day, and was doubtless incendiary. -There was considerable plundering by negroes daring the fire, and a turbulent negro named Billy Clopton, who has a so-called negro militia at his command, and was parading them in arms on the street previous to the fire, ex pressed great exultation at the sight of “ rebel property’’ burning. The Gazette says: He drew a pistel on a man who remonstrated and would have killed him but for the interfer ence of a friendly negro. "While inarching up the street in front of the fire with pistol in hand, cursing rebels and gloating over their misfortunes, he was suddenly and very unex pectedly knocked down, disarmed and left to his colored comrades who carried him out of the crowd, when he beat a hasty retreat for home. About this time, while the fire was raging, and onr citizens straggling to arrest it and save a little of their property, the bell at the Afrioan church pealed forth the usual signal for the ne groes to repair there. This was more than our people could st formed and n sheriff, where a tender was made of the posse and a request made for the arrest of Clopton. Southern Agriculture Reviving. Under this head the New York Commercial Advertiser of Wednesday says: A very hopeful sign comes to us this Spring from the South. From all parts, particularly the cotton-growing regions, our manufacturers are taxed to the full extent of their ability in supplying agricultural implements—not “im proved machinery,” strictly speaking, so much as ploughs, hoes, spades, and other small wares. They hear much about “sub-soil” ploughing, which really is something new. Instead of sat isfying themselves with stirring the surface, planters seem to have made the discovery that a few inches deeper in the earth, below the ex hausted soil, they have a new farm, capable of yielding more bountifully than they had ever i magined. A light kind of plough for working the surface, is also in heavy demand. One man ufacturing establishment in New York has three factories engaged on this work incessantly. These are sure indications that the Southern people are reorganizing their labor system, re cuperating their energies, and going to work in earnest. Unlike agriculturists of other sections, they work on a large scale, occupying broad acres; and this waking up of a few million peo ple, this girding of themselves anew, most speedily tell upon the general weaL It is singular that among the various new en- teprises started in the South since .the war, no body has projected, on any thing like an ex tensive scale, a manufactory of agricultural implements. Surely, with our cheap and bet ter timber, cheaper labor, inexpensive water power, the saving to be effected on such cum brous freights and numerous other advantages, a large and profitable business might be elabo rated at some central point in every State, in getting up the common agricultural implements ’ itations. demanded, on our plantat: of the posse and arrested Mr. Clopton and placed him under guard in the court-house. The tur bulent threats of the negroes and their white allies called the citizens together again Sunday afternoon and evening, when one hundred men volunteered to vindicate the law and crash law lessness, no matter from whence it might come. The town was well policed Sunday night and a strong gnard of citizens kept over Clopton to see that he wa3 neither rescued nor molested. A squad of armed negroes was dispersed and sent home, and Monday morning a large meet ing of the citizens was held in the interests of good order. In the afternoon the examination of Clopton and two others, Aaron Moore and Warren Tyler, came on before Justice Bramlette, and the evidence showed that violent incendiary threats had been made at the negro gathering Saturday. Tyler insultingly contradicted the testimony of a Mr. Brantley, who threatened him with his cane, and advanced towards Urn within eight or ten feet. At this juncture, says tho Gazette, Gen. Pat ten, City Marshall, caught Brantly and held him. White he was thus held filter drew a re peater and commenced firing at Brantly. At the first fire Judge Bramlette was shot through the head and instantly killed. The room was crowded with white and black who were attend ing the trial, and as great exoitement was pre vailing, an indiscriminate firing commenced; _ in which William Clopton and a negro named Gus Ford were killed, and several persons, white and black, wonnded. After firing several shots, Tyler jnmped out of tho window and ran np the street As soon as it was known that he had killed Judge Bramlette, he was pursued, and on refusing to surrender, was instantly killed. Tyler fired a number of shots at the parties in pursuit of him, and resisted his capture until tho very last Judge Bramlette was a man universally loved and respected. He had been Judge of Probate, and was, at the time of his death, Justice of the Peace and a member of tho Board of Aldermen. Clopton and Tyler were turbnlont and disorder ly negroes, who have been stirring np strife in this community for the last two or three years. Their greatest desire seemed to be to stirnp enmity between tho races and do all themis- ! in their power. chief i A Nathan Harder in New Orleans. Last Tuesday morning, Mr. F. W. Perkins, proprietor of the Alliance Line of Havana and Florida Steamships, was found dead in his office at No. 26 Carondelet street Over his right ear and above tbe temple was a pistol shot wound, which had evidently occasioned immediatedeath; if, indeed, the fearful beating he had received over the head had not previously produced in sensibility. The back part of bis head had been beaten to a pulp. The skull was fractured in twenty places, as if he had been stricken down by some heavy instrument and pounded until life was extinct. It is probable that the pistol shot was fired afterwards by the assassins to make snre tho butchery was complete. Mr. Perkins left his office Monday night at tho usual hour and went to his residence at the corner of Annunciation and Sixth streets, but probably forgetting some paper or other valuable, he returned to his office at a late hour of the night. This is the supposition of his friends. He was doubtless followed back by his assailant and murdered as related. Next morning, when his office was entered by the porter, Perkins was found lying on the floor in a pool of blood—the room in great con fusion—the safe opened by keys taken from the pocket of the victim and robbeef—his money and watch gone, and a small single barreled pistol, which had been discharged, by his side. Perkins was a young man of thirty-one years of age—with a wife and two children—a very fine looking and popular man. Houston Agricultural Club. Editors of Telegraph and Messenger : The fanners of Houston county were well represented as regards solidity, intelligence and numbers, in a meeting held the 7th inst. in Perry, for the purpose of completing the organi zation of the County Agricultural Club, and to decide whether or not the county shall have majority decided to a small majority it Yalley at it should be held at Fort Ya a Fair this year. A largo have a connty Fair, and by was agreed that it should be instead of Perry. “Onoe upon a time,” it was thought-that practical farmers were more addioted to work, than pnblio talk. However, this may be, it is certainly true that at this meeting, there was quite a multitude of addresses on immaterial points of Parliamentary law, some of which ad dresses seemed to be entirely satisfactory to the parties who delivered them. Messrs. Editors, can you prescribeaan Infal lible remedy for “CacoetheB Ioqnendf’ when it has reached the planting community ? The disease is said to be incurable when a lawyer takes it. Toward the close of the meeting, the assemblage was startled almost ont of its pro priety, by the announcement of the presence of a “guano" man. The feeling approaohed when it was farther annour near to excitement announced that this gentle- sold it at man prepared his guano honestly and low rates. The gentleman made some remarks which were well received. By the way, I doubt not that there are honest, clever gentlemen engaged in the business of manipulating guano. Tho’ it cannot be denied that the temptation to adulterate, to sand and to salt is very strong. Everybody having Sfcid all they desired to say, the meeting adjournedto first Tuesday in April, when there will be farther action respecting the county fair. Perry, Ga., March 9,1871. _ Observer. The Postmasters and Mutilated Oubbenot. Treasurer Spinner has decided that postmasters must receive mutilated currency for its full value in payment for stamps, when, in cases of United States notes, not more than one-twentieth of the note is missing, and in cases of fractional currency when not more than one-tenth is miss ing. When such notes and fractional currency are mutilated beyond the standard referred to no one is compelled to receive them for any part of their valae, and the only place where such notes may be redeemed is at the United States Treasury. _ The New York papers are charging philoso pher Greeley with subsoiling in his politics.

D count OBITUARY. eparted this life at his residence in Marion aty, five minutes after 12 o’clock at night, on tho 22d day of February, Judge Wm. M. Deane. It is with sorrow that we are permitted to know that God in His wiBdom has seen proper to remove a man of such sterling worth. Yet since it has pleased Him to visit such a sad dispensation, it is every < i, perfee Christian worth. In every walk of life he was a pattern worthy of imitation. His occupation was that of a fanner, and well did his success demon strate that education is a powerful auxiliary in this most noble branch of industry. With him the culture of the soil was a science, and the annual return of a rich harvest blessed him with plenty. Fortune smiled and all aronnd him wore the ap- pearence of perfect satisfaction. His loss as a citizen will leavo a vacum hard to fill; his church a brother in whom the Christian graces were happily blended, and the Masonic fraternity a worthy member. But his Iobs is felt most at home around the family fireside. His grief stricken widow and his affactionate and dutiful children lament not without cause. Judge DBASE was all that a fond wife could desire in a hus band, and as a parent, fall of sweet counsel and affection. True they have every encouragement to believe that “their loss is his eternal gain, T ’ bnt how hard to part with ono so dear, even to give birth to an angel’s plaoein heaven. I would say to the grief stricken wife, “God doeth all things well,” bow submissively to His will; to the children, now de prived of that sweet smile, trust in the wisdom and mercy of a Heavenly Father. He will secure to you hi a promises. Judge Drane at present sleeps, but the morning of tho resnrection will call him forth among the just and in the world of the blest will spend an end less eternity. A Friend. PACIFIC GUANO COMPANY.
