J.—When a party was indicted tnpc, and the evidence consisted of the matrix, who testified she and her husband t together to see the defendant, a physician, |ii she went into an adjoining room to that srkasband was in, and tho doctor tried to kiss e, and out of this room into a small bedroom Mho purpose of medical examination, where t crime was committed, and that she resisted v . all her strength, and screamed more than ! at the top of her voice, and five witnesses s close by the room, one in a bath with on- i partition between, all near to the room, sing and repassing, and heard no noise or ^tams, and saw her come out of the room, i testified that they saw no appearance of nhiag unusual, and Court charged the jury |i follows : "It is a rule that a witness swearing positive- To a fact, is to bo believed in preference to By sho swear negatively to the same fact, at they did not see or hear it. If the exist- [** of a fact be sworn to by one credible wit- tts. and many other witnesses who were in a teation to see or hear it, testify that they did pt ste or hear it, or know that it transpired, are bound to regard the testimony given by 1^ witness who swears positively, in preference Isttose who swear negatively.” I While the general rule is, that other being equal, positive ovidenee prepon- Ihates over negative evidence, the charge of liteonrt was error, under the facts of this case, Is stating the role too strongly, that the jury I 1 *?* bonnd to regard the testimony of the pos- l^e witness in preference to those who M for dreumstanceg may outweigh positive Ifetimony. | Bdd, again, In cases of rape, the question of I'"nit or innocence should not be measured arbitra te by the character of the jjroof, whether pos ture or negative, direct or circumstantial: but |7 the weight of tho proof, that all tho facts I - 11 be submitted to the jury under the charge I c i-.irt, stating the law in regard to what ■Us necessary to establish the accusation, and lie jury should be loft to consider tho whole Inidence to ascertain the guilt or innocence of lie prisoner. I lodgment reversed on tho gronnd that the I ;irt erred in its charge to the j ary, and in over* I‘ding the motion for a new trial on this ground. YoCay, J., concurred. Washes, J.. dissenting.—Tho defendant was I adicted for tho crime of rape on tho person of I jhry Meyer, a married woman, who, with her I -: : .band, went to the office of the defendant I who was a physician) for the purpose of con- I "Jting him in relation to a female complaint, Jith which sho was afflicted at the time. The de- •ttdsnt took her into his private bed-room for *-* purpose of making an examination of her teen, where tho crime was alleged to have ^en committed. On the trial of tho case tho found the defendant guilty, when a motion *u made for a new trial on general grounds, *hich was overruled by the court; whereupon Be defendant excepted,, and bos brought his Use before this court for review. There was t error in tho court below in ruling out tho [udence of Mary Meyer (after the same had ‘J*® admitted) that she had an illegitimate 'aid by one Croft prior to her marriage with Cw present husband, as such evidence was not ^opetent for the purpose of showing her gon- I bad character at the time tho crime was ^egtd to have been committed; general bad i g^racter, as to want of chastity, cannot be i own by proof of a specific fact which occurred ;®g anterior to tho commission of the offence, mere was no error in the court ruling ont the ndence of Spencer, the Justice of tho Peace, t.;!?, , ® ,on d had sworn on tho committing »i before him, as the evidence on that trial I.? * >e6 u reduced to writing, and was then „, t0 Iho court, and was the best evidence ” to what the witness did swear on that trial, Lrf mor ?. e8 P eci4 Uj as Spencer stated he had recollection as to what tho witness did except by reference to the record of <■ evidence then before him. The charge of ««wt to the effect of affirmative and nega* testimony, as applicable to tho facts proved was a fair substantial exposi- l “ e law of evidence upon that question. . .. r fevi^wing the entire chargo of tho court w in view of the facts contained in tho wr d> there is no error in that charge which will in my judgment authorize this court to in torfero and grant a now trial. In looking through the entire record and considering al 1 the grounds taken in the motion for a new trial, I find no error which will entitle tho defendant to a rehearing of the case, under the repeated rulings of this court, on similar motions made °? trial of criminal Cases, and as the presi- ding judge was satisfied with the verdict, and there being sufficient evidence in the record to sustain it if the jury believed the witnesses, who were the exclusive judges of their credi bility, this court ought not to interfere and set it wide. The criminal laws of the State should be firmly executed by the courts, and when a verdict of guilty has been rendered on compe tent evidence, that verdict should not be set aside for alleged errors committed on the trial, unless tho finding of tho jury would havo prob ably been different bnt for the alleged errors complained of. Tho certainty of punishment for the violation of the public laws of tho State is the only safo protection for society, and when the public authorities, charged with the per formance of this duty, fail to perform it, those who are injured, either in person or property, will seek to redress their own wrongs instead of appealing to the legal tribunals of the country. L. J. Garlrell and Henry Jackson, for plain tiff in error. E. P. Howell, Solicitor General, for the State. Bobert Baugh, Superintendent Western and Atlantic Bailroad, vs. McDaniel & Strong. Ac tion on the case, etc., from Fulton. McCay, J.—The Western and Atlantic Bail- road was songht to bo made liable for the loss of eight hags of cotton sent from Atlanta to New York, and which the said road had deliver ed to the next connecting railroad on the lino, and it appeared that the Western and Atlantic Bailroad had given two receipts for two lots of cotton, portions of each of which lots were lost beyond their line. One of which receipts sim ply acknowledged the receipt of the cotton and that it was consigned to New.York, by way of Johnsonville, and tho other contained the same acknowledgment, but was headed: Western and Atlantic Bailroad, East Tennessee and Georgia Bailroad, Virginia and Tennessee, and Orange and Alexandria Bailroads, and had endorsed upon it, “Through freight contract." And it was in evidence by the shipper that the cotton was delivered to be shipped to New York; also in evidence by the railroad that there was an arrangement between it and the other roads, fixing tho amount each road would charge for the carriage of freight over its road, but no other arrangement, and that this was a through freight contract: Held, 1. The Western and Atlantic Bailroad having been built by the State to carry freight and passengers between Atlantic and Chatta nooga, it is a matter of grave donbt if its offi cers can charge tho State with a contract to car ry freight beyond its terminus to distant points over other roads. 2. That, at any rate, such a contract will not be implied, bnt must appear to have been dis tinctly made. 3. That there is nothing in the evidence ad duced in this case to make such a special con tract, or to take the case out of the rule pre scribed in section 2,058 of the Eevised Code, which is as follows: “Where there are several connecting roads under different companies, and goods are in tended to be transported over more than one railroad, each company shall be responsible to its own terminus and until the delivery to the connecting roads.” Judgment reversed. Lochbane, C. J., concurred Waexeb, J., dissenting.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff against tho Superin tendent of the Western & Atlantic Bailroad, to recover the value of eight bales of cotton al leged to have been delivered by the plaintiffs to tho defendant at Atlanta, to be transported to Schaefer & Co., New York, which were lost The original railroad receipt for the cotton was also lost; there was a substituted receipt offered in evidence, signed by the agent of tho road, dated 1st November, 1865, headed: Western and Atlantic, East Tennessee and Virginia, Virginia and Tennessee, and Orange and Alexandria Bailroads, through freight contract, for thirty-seven hales of cotton, consigned by McDaniel & Strong, to A. C. Schaeffer & Co., New York. One of the plaintiffs testified that the cotton was delivered to the Western and Atlantic Bailroad for transportation to their agent in New York, that eight bales of tho cotton had never been received there, by their agent, Baugh; the then Superintendent of the road, testified that at the time the cotton was shipped, ho had made an agreement with the intermediate roads from Atlanta to New York, for through rates of freight on cotton, and that this was a through freight contract. Tho Court charged tho jury “that it was competent for the defendant to contract to deliver goods beyond the terminus of its road, and if the defendant did make a special contract to deliver the cot ton in New York, he would be liable for any loss that occurred beyond the terminus of his road, or after delivery to the next connecting road." To which charge of the court, the de fendant excepted. Under the provisions of the 975th section of tho Code, tho Superintend ent of the Western and Atantic Bailroad had the power and authority, to make a contract with the shipper for tho transportation and de livery of goods beyond the terminus of its road. 25th Ga. ltep. 228 that the 2058th sectiop of the Code, regulates the liability of connecting railroads in this State, when the goods are in tended to be transported over more than one railroad, to the consignee thereof, that is to say, if goods are shipped from New York to Macon via Western and Atlantic Bailroad, and should be lost between Chattanooga and Macon, and the consignee should suo the Western and At lantic Bailroad for them, and prove the receipt of the goods by the latter read, it would be a good defence to show that the goods had been safely transported over that road, and delivered in good order to the Macon and Western Boad. By the 2040th section of tho Code, which adopts the common law rule, the carrier Pliable for the loss of the goods, unless it was occa sioned by the act of God, or the public enemies of tho State. If the Western and Atlantic. Bailroad had received goods at Chattanooga to be transported to Macon, and tho same bad been lost, and that road had been sued by the consignee thereof, for the goods, it would not have been a good defense under tho common law rule, to have shown that the goods had been delivered to the Macon and Western, a connecting road, bnt the 2058th section of the Code changes that common law lia bility so far as to allow the Western and Atlantic Bailroad to show that the goods were delivered to the connecting road in good order, and makes the last company receiv ing the goods in good order, responsible to the consignee therefor, that is the legal effect of the 2058th section of the Code. Bnt if the BY TELEGRAPH Yams, April 13, noon.—Delegates of the party of conciliation have returned from Versailles. They are silent as to the details of tho negotia tions with the Thiers Government. Nothing will be made known until a lull report of the mission has been completed. Tho plate seized in the Bureau of Foreign Affairs is being con verted into specie. Tho Commune, considering the column in tho Place Vendome a barbarous monument and symbol of brute force and a false gloiy, and a negation of Fratemiiy, have decreed its demolition! A Mot d’Ordre claims that tho Nationals now occupy the whole of Neuilly, and expects a gen eral attack to-night by the army of Versailles. Pabis, April 13, afternoon.—Asnieres atiil holds ont against the Versailles -troops, whose every attack has been repnlsed. Engagements are in progress at Neuilly. The shells from Yalerien are falling in the Champs Elysees. Cannonading is heard south of tho city. Pabis, April 13, evening.—The object of the Versailles commander to-day was, apparently, to reach Asnieres and thereby relieve a detach ment surroanded by the Communists, on tho island of Grande latte. Veesaibles, April 13.—The Paris and Orlears railway has not been cut. Veesatlles, April 13.—Our batteries com mand the villages of Cevallos, Champeret and Neuilly. There was infantry fighting at all the approaches to these villages. The Communists gave way at one o’clock. Dombrowski asked for reinforcements. They were sent forward, and it is announced by to-night’s Communist Journal that the Versailles forces were finally repulsed. The delegates from the party of conciliation report that Thiers, though unwilling to discuss a treaty, is willing to guarantee the Eepublic and accord certain municipal privileges toJParia upon a plan to be elaborated by the Assembly. He positively declines to guarantee rights to the Communists, or to grant an armistice. Maillot gate isa wreck. Washington, April 14.—Tho President has abandoned hi3 California trip till fall. A refer ence to questions from the High Commission and the enforcement of the Ku-klnx bill keeps him here.

The prisoners were carried to Olympia, Washington Territory. Washington, April 14.—Nominations: P. B. Cowan, Assistant Secretary of Interior; H. H. Manning, Collector Fourth District of Texas. Both houses meet to-morrow at 11 o’clock. The Senate passed the Ku-klux bill with the amendments proposed by the Judiciary Com mittee, which amendments, striking out the repeal of the test oath for United States jurors, leave the law as at present; and another by Shorman as follows: That if any house, tene ment, cabin, shop, building, bam or granary, shall be unlawfully or feloniously demolished, pulled down, burned or destroyed, wholly or in part, by any persons riotously and tumultuously assembled together; or if any person shall, un lawfully and with force and violence, bo whipped, scourged, wounded or killed by any persons riotously and tumultuously assembled together; and if such offense is committed to deprive any person of any right conferred upon him by the Constitution and laws of the United States, or to deter him from, or punish him for exercising any such right, or by reason of his race, color or previous condition of servi tude, in eveiy such case the inhabitants of the county, city or parish in which any of tho said offenses shall be committed, shall be liable to pay full compensation to the person or persons damaged by such offence if living, or to legal representative if dead, and suoh com pensation may be recovered by such person or bis representative by a suit in any court of the United States of compotent jurisdiction in the district tho offence was committed, the name of the person injured or his legal representative and against said county, city or parish, and an execution maybe issued on a jadgment ren dered in snch suit and may be levied upon any property, real' or personal, of any person in said county, city, or parish, and the said county, city, or parish, which may havo satisfied said judgment, or the person out of whose property said judgment shall have been satisfied, as the case may be, may recover the full amount of said judgments, costs and interest from any person or persons engaged as principal or ac cessory in such riot, .and action in any court of competent jurisdiction shall have been satisfied shall, in snch case, have contribution as at com mon law, and the Circuit Court of the United States for the proper district shall have juris diction of such act. Tho bill passed—15 to 19—Hill, Eobertson Shnrz, Tifton and Trumbull voting nay. House.—A resolution was offered to expunge the speech from the Globe, and reprimand Bep- resentative Garrett for quoting in his speech, which Garrett had leave to print, from the Vicksbnrg Herald, to the effect that Senator Ames was a shoulder-strap puppy and paltroon, a most consummate liar and fooL The Deficiency bill was taken up. An amend ment was adopted giving $20,000 to rebuild the Orphan Asylum of Sisters of Lady of Mercy at Charleston. Also requiring national Western and Atlantic Bailroad makes a special banks to pay the expenses for printing their contract with the shipper, that he will transport his goods from Atlanta to New York, and tho goods are lost beyond tbeterminns-of this road, tile defendant wonld be liable on his contract of bailment, for the loss of toe goods. “Bailment to deliver, is a deliveiy of goods in trust upon a contract expressed, or implied, that the trust shall bo faithjully executed on the part of the bailee. If money or goods be delivered to a common carrier, to carry from Oxford to Lon don, be is under a contract in law to pay or car ry them to the person appointed.” 2d Bl. Com. 451-2, 3d BJ. Com. 1C3, Code 2032. The re sponsibility of the carrier commences with the delivery of the goods to himself or his agent, and ceases with their delivery at destination according to the direction of the person sending, or according to the custom of the trade. Code, section 2044. There is sufficient evidence in the record in this case, if an express contract on the part of toe road to transport and deliver the cotton in New York, the point of destina tion, to authorize the charge of toe Court to toe jury, and tho jury, by their verdict, having found that there was such a special contract, under that evidence, a new trial ought not to be granted. Mjnatt & Dell for plaintiff in error. D. F. Hammond for defendant. Onr Representatives at Tliefr Posts. The Washington Patriot emphatically main tains that no Democrat was justified in absence from his seat while too Shellabarger Ku-klux bill was pending, and that every pair made was an unwarranted concession from its opponents. The record proves that the most odious features of the bill were retained by tho absence of five Democrats, two of whom were Southern men. That responsibility is fixed, and cannot bo altered. Seventeen Democratic members aid not an- swer to their names when the amnesty bill passed, Monday. Three were absent on account of illness, and one had paired with a Bepubli- can, bnt no excuses were given in the other cases. ■ , These men will have a hard row to hoc wiion they come before their constituents asking re- election, If we are not mistaken. notes, Without disposing of the bill, the House adjourned. At.uany, April 14.—A bill ordering a special election to fill the vacancy caused by the resig nation of Irving failed by a vote of 63 to 64. Thus perpetuating the dead-lock, in the New York Legislature. Maesailles, April 14.—The fighting for the past two days resulted in advantages to the Commune. Their troops occupy Asnieres, Vitry, Mondinsaqnit, Villejuif, Hantsbrnyerez, part of Chatillon and Nenilly. They have erected new barricades before Fort Maillit. The Versailles army is posted on this side of Choisy de Boi, at Ohevelly and L’ Fays. General McMahon says he will remain on toe defensive until his army is greatly reinforced. Ultimate triumph over the Commune is regard ed here as probable. Vebsauxes, April 14.—An ineffectual can nonade from Asnieres and Olarmonte continue. The Insurgents have sot captured Nenilly. Pabis, April 14.—On Thursday night the artillery firing south and west ceased. Sever al battalions of toe National Guards disarmed, cause, hostility to the Commune. London, April 14.—At 4 o’clock tho Versailles forces were repnlsed everywhere around Paris. Washington, April 14.—The Democratic Sen ators and Eepresentatives held a caucus to night, when Senator Bayard, Chairman of the Committee to propose an Address to the people, stated that in view of the pending legislation on the Ku-klux bill, the Committee was not ready to report, bnt would report on Monday night at the adjourned meeting of the caucus. The caucus earnestly advises all Demooratio mem bers now absent to return to Washington to vote npon amendments. Tho House has adopted an amendment to the Deficiency Appropriation bill, repealing a portion of that proviso of the Legislative Ap propriation bill of last year, which deprived Standing in the courts. The action now taken by the House, without a dissenting voice, pro vides for fulfilling toe promise of toe amnesty proclamation of December 1863, and applies only to pardons granted under said proclama tion of President Lincoln, with a view to induce persona to abandon the rebellion, and where they did actually abandon it, and thereafter, kept their obligations in good faith. Washington, April 15.—A three day’s religi ous riot at Odessa, has been stopped by the bayonet. The Parliament of the Dominion of Canada has been proviaionized. Governor General’s speech is hopeful of good results from the High Commission. The severe fighting around Paris np to last night did not materially change the situation. All are waiting for a grand attack by MoMahon, whoisatBueiL General Cluseret, in report ing to the Commune, boasts that the Assem- blists were seriously repnlsed—thathe has great confidence in the ultimate success of the Com munists. Tho Communists are plundering offices and churches. They coin all the treas ures found to support their military operations. The supply of milk has ceased in Paris—pro visions are rising. The House has temporarially postponed the Ku-Klnx bill as amended by the Senate and proceeded with toe deficiency bilk The Senate posponed proceedings prelimina ry to considering toe House amnesty bilk The action is considered unfavorable to too passage of tho bill. George Wendelkir, alias Dutch George, the famous counterfeiter has been arrested in New York, and committed in default of $25,000 baik Work on toe Southern Pacifio Bailroad is pushed vigorously from tho ending in Califor nia southward. Comparatively heavy fighting has occurred in Cuba. Tho Cubans seem thoroughly organized for war. Thirty coal mines, supplying the city of St. Louis, have stopped in consequence of a strike. The Missouri river has fallen six feet. Jackson, Miss., April 15.—A terrific hail storm passed over this vicinity last night, and continued for 15 minutes. Many Btonos six inches in circumference were fonnd. Several thousand window lights were broken. Sheet iron roofing was perforated. Gardens, fields, crops and fruit trees were seriously damaged. The forest trees were stripped of their foliage, and hundreds of birds were killed. Pabis, April 14.—There is a comparative lull in the war. The Nationals aro anxious to at tack. Gen. Cluseret insists npon more defen sive operations. Three gunboats shelled Sevres and St. Cloud to-day. A National Guard was shot to-day for killing his captain. He confes sed killing five officers. Petroleum shells havo been prepared to throw into Yalerien. The church of St. Boche has been seized. Some women falsely denounced a citizen dressed in plain clothes as a priest, and the women were terribly beaten by toe crowd. This is tho first reaction in favor of the priests. Washington, April 15.—Maj. Belger has been fully restored to his position in the army. Schlazer, Minister of too German Empire, has arrived. Confirmations: Cowan, Assistant Secretary of too Interior; Bapier, Assessor Second Ala bama District; Smith, Assessor Eighth Vir ginia District; Snead, Collector First Virginia District. There will be a a Bepnblican caucus on Mon day on amnesty. House.—The Senate amendment to the Defi ciency bill, as amended by^the House, author izing the reprinting of National Bank bills, and assessing banks for the expense, was rejected, 47 to 43. Finally a committee of conference was asked. The Ku-klux bill was taken np. The Senate amendment extending the right to toe Presi dent to suspend the habeas corpus, to end at toe next regular sesson of Congress, was re jected, 86 to 93. The amendment requiring the iron-clad from Federal jurors was rejected without division. The amendment known as Sherman’s amendment, telegraphed in full last night, was rejected, yeas 45, nays 131. This is the amendment assessing damages npon locali ties. Other amendments, most of them imma* terial, were concurred in, and' the Committee of Conference was ordered. Shellabarger, Schofield and Kerr were appointed on toe part of the House. The House then adjourned. New Yobk, April 15.—Tho Commercial Ad vertiser publishes a rumor that toe Bepublioan members who announced their intention to vote with tho Democrats cost them $65,000. lho corporators of the Texas Pacifio Bail road Company held a meeting to-day at the of fice of Marshal CEoberts. Among the promi nent persons present were Gen. Fremont, J. W. Forney, of the Philadelphia Press; Senator Nye,of Nevada; Thomas A. Scott, of the Penn sylvania railroad; Gen. Bosecranz,and a nnmber of other capitalists and railroad men. Samuel Sloan was appointed Treasurer and gave bonds for $400,000—Judge Pierrepont and Marshal O’Koberts being securities. By unanimous consent 11,000 out of toe 20,000 shares of Btock were allotted to Marshal O’Boberta, thus virtually securing entire control of toe road, and the Presidency in case he desired it. Gen. Fremont received 5000 shares, and the re maining 4000 shares were distributed among the balanoe of the corporators and immediately subscribed for. PhuaSelthia, April 15.—The three ruffians who outraged a lady last Sunday, were con victed and sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000 arid fifteen years imprisonment.

London, April 15.—The bill giving control of municipal affairs to Paris has passed toe As sembly. The concentration of loyal troops at Versailles continues. Thiers in a circular says the fighting of the last two days is comparative ly unimportant. Tho government troops are well established in their position. The Insur gent sorties are ineffectual. Pabis, April 15.—There was a brisk cannon ading yesterday evening. Cluseret claims to have repulsed the Assemhlists. The cannonade was recommenced at Maillot gate and Nenilly this morning. Cahbleston, April 15.—Arrived—Steamer Georgia, New York; sailed, steamer James Adger, New York. Savannah, April 15.—Cleared—Steamship Huntsville; New York; San Jacinto, New York; Pioneer, Philadelphia; ’.barks Cienfuegos, New- York; David Cannon, Plymouth, England; Schooners Curtis Tilton, Philadelphia; Cath erine Thomas, Darien ^JWare, New Smyrna. "Washington, April 15.—The full synopsis of tho Senate proceedings on amnesty: Bobert- son moved to take np his amendment to tho or der of business, so as to allow tho House Am nesty bill to bo considered at the present ses sion. Conkling remarked that this being Sat urday, the Senate was vory thin. A number of Senators having left too city with the under standing that only executive business would be considered, be hoped the motion would be de ferred till next week. Koberlson replied ho liad given five days proviovs notice of the mo tion, and insisted npon a vote. Trumbull did not the Senate so thin as represented. It was the fullest Senate he had over known for a Saturday, and ho hoped no friend of amnesty way, and thought the time had come to act np on the subject, and he would so vote. Chandler moved for an executive session, which was lost by a vote of 16 to 25. Morrill of Vermont, submitted a proposition withdraw ing objection to Bobertson’s motion, on condi tion that a final vote on amnesty should not be taken until the Ku-klu5*bill had passed both houses. Eobertson acquiesced, but several Senators declined to be bonnd by any snch ar rangement. Sawyer was of the opinion that, after toe bill which passed yesterday, no more opportune moment than toe present could be found for passing the amnesty bill. His own belief bad been that there was an understand ing that the subject should be considered to day. Cameron and Frelinghuysen urged that a vote bo deferred npon the pending motion. During further discussion Trumbull charged that the efforts of the opponents of the bill for delay were purposely designed to defeat action on the measure, and he warned its friends that it would be next to impossible to have it acted upon if they now allowed it to go over. Fre linghuysen then renewed the motion for an ex ecutive session, npon which Thurman demand ed the yeas and nays. Carried—ayes 31, nays 24. Synopsis of Wtallicr Statement. "VYab Dep’t, Opeice Chief Signal Offices, 1 Washington, D. C., April 15,8:40 p. m. j The barometer has fallen decidedly, with in creasing north-westerly wind on toe Paoifi coast. The low pressure whioh was oentral on Friday evening in Nebraska has moved south ward to Louisiana and eastward with very light rain at a few points. It is now central over southern Georgia with cloudy and threatening weather in its immediate neighborhood. Clear or partially cloudy weather has generally pre vailed north and east of Tennessee with light winds on the Atlantic coast and fresh north westerly winds on toe npper Lakes where toe high pressure of last night and this morning now begins to diminish. Probabilities—It is probable that the slight disturbance on toe Southern coast will pass away without increas ing. Cloudy weather with fresh northeast winds will probably be experienced Sunday from Lake Erie to Superior. Fresh winds probable for the Eastern States; falling barometer and dondy weather on the California coast. Washington, April 15.—Tho latest dispatches give nothing official or explicit about tho opera tions aronnd Paris. the holders of Presidential pardons of all would allow tho subject to be postponed in toot Masonic Banquet to Earl de Grey The Hasonio Fraternity of the District of Co lumbia gave a banquet in toe Masonio Temple, Washington, last Monday, to Earl de Grey, President of the British High Commission and Grand Master of England. The Masons assem bled numbered 170, including eight Senators and three members of the House. LordTeu- terden, Sir John McDonald, the son of Sir Staf ford Northcote, and L. E. Strange, Secretary of tho British Legation, were also guests on the occasion. When Earl de Grey was escorted into the Grand Lodge room he was invited to ccupy toe Grand Master’s chair, and after a few minutes had passed Grand Master Stansbury delivered an address, breathing the warmest words of fraternal welcome. Earl DeGrey, in response, spoke as follows: “Most Worshipful Sir and Brothers—I trust you will permit me to return to you and to the Grand Lodge of the Distriot of Columbia my most grateful thanks for the very kind and fra ternal welcome which yon have given mo on this occasion. I assure yon, sir, that I esteem it the greatest honor to have tons been received, and to havo had toe opportunity of being pre sented by yon to the Grand Lodge of the £ trict of Columbia, an honor whioh I am well aware I owe not to my personal worth, but to the fact, and the most important and significant fact, that I am the representative of the Grand Lodge of England, holding the eighest position that can be conferred on a Mason in England— that of Grand Master—and, sir, I esteem this a most fortunate occasion; fortunate for me an individual, and fortunate for Ma sonry in both countries, that there should at length have taken place so close a union between Masonry in America and Masonry in England, and that yon should now, for toe first time aB you tell me, receive within toe walls of this important Grand Lodge of Freemasons the Grand Master of England. We all know that fraternity is the first principle of Masonry, and thererore it is that all must rejoice at every thing which tends to bind more closely together Masons of different countries. I, sir, esteem myself very fortdnate indeed to have had it in my power to attend here to-night I shall carry away from this Grand Lodge toe most grateful recollections of your kindness; I shall make it my first duty to tell my brethren in England of the magnificent receptionwhichhasbeenaccord- ed to their Grand Master to-night, and I am con fident I do not misinterpret the feeling with which they will receive toe information. When I see them they will indeed rejoice that toe first step ha3 been taken which will tend to a closer and more intimate union between American and English Masons. [Great applause.] A union whioh for my part I havo always believed exist ed, bat whioh I believe will be closer and more intimate in future. O. F. Stansbury wore the apron and sash and nsed the gavel which formed part of the insigna of Washington. None bnt Masons were admit ted to any of toe ceremonies. Even toe cater ers, servants and musicians belonged to the fra ternity. Georgia Medical Association. SECOND DAY—5IOBNING SESSION.

From toe Savannah Bepnblican.] ' MORE CARPET-BAG RASCALITY. A Nice Little Game Among Florida Congressmen—Reed to be Bribed Ont of a Veto and the Georgia'Leg islature to be Bought Vp. What a precious set of rascals these carpet bag Congressmen from tho South most be 2 Every day develops some new villainy as the rogues fall out. The latest is a conspiracy for building a railroad in Georgia, in whioh Sena tor Osborn, of Florida, his brother, who ap pears to be a New York divine, and cx-Repre- sentative Hamilton, of the former State, fignre conspicuously. We gather the story from toe Tribune's Washington correspondence of the 10th instant, bo that there can be no ‘‘rebel lies ” in the matter. The writer says: The Hon. C. M. Hamilton, ex-member of Congress, from Florida, has made some sweep ing charges of corruption against Senator Os born of that State; against A. S. Osborn, of Brooklyn, represented to be a brother of the Senator and a minister; and against several other persons interested, during toe Forty-first Congress, in toe passage of a bill “granting lands to aid in the construction of certain rail roads.” Three letters are printed here to-day, each dated at Brooklyn, addressed to Mr. Ham ilton and signed ‘ ‘A. O. "Osborn.” The first un folds the plans of the company, and states that stock had then (February 14, 1870,) been al ready issued, some of which was to be used at Tallahassee, in order to obtain a grant of State land, and some at Atlanta for the purpose of scouring the right of way andasnbsidy of $12,- 000 per mile from toe St. Mary's river to Mil ieu. The letter continues: “If you and your adherents, led by Purman, go for it, it can be passed, with the aid of toe stock Stearns has, over toe Governor’s veto, should he veto it But, with your influence, I am in hopes he wonld sign it We could give him a share, if he desired it of stock or of land. Should you see fit to do so, your position in the company will be made all yon could desire. If yon desire it you shall be given toe same amount of stock as is now held by Senator Os born ($250,000 worth), and thus placed npon an entirely equal footing. If yon desire, far ther, a place in the Board of Directors, I will undertake to secure the resignation of ono of toe New York men, and your election in his place.” In the second letter, General Hamilton is of fered two thousand five hundred shares, in ad dition to that which had already been “sub scribed for him by his friend,” giving Mm an interest of five hundred thousand dollars in the road, if he wonld help the matter in Congress. The third letter, dated June 28, 1870, cMdes Mr. Hamilton for his failure to co-operate thus far, and adds: “Should you remain of toe same mind toward tMs bill throughout this session, we can, of course, anticipate nothing more favorable next session. As we cannot, therefore, look for suc cess during your term, it becomes a matter of vital importance that a man be returned who will co-operate with us in toe next Congress for the development of these pnblie works. If the bill giving grants of land to aid in the con struction of those two trunk lines of railroad, wMch has already passed the Senate, fails in toe House this session, you will not be nomi nated or elected to Congress, if the friends of this bill, by tho use of any and every honora ble means in their power, can possibly prevent it. Should yon yet take hold notively, and se cure the passage of the bill before toe session closes, none of the friends of that bill oould, as snch, oppose your nomination.” General Hamilton, in Ms affidavit, also charges that one H. M. Alberger, representing himself to be Secretary of the Company, did, in July, 1870, call upon Mm and offer Mm, in addition to the stock already tendered, a check on a New York bank for twenty thousand dollars, if he wonld support toe bilL General Hamilton denies that he was influenced by any of these offers or threats, but that he objected to the passage of the bill when reached in its order on the Speaker’s table, on the 3d of March. Senator Osbom is out of town to-day, and cannot, therefore, make an immediate re ply to these charges. Putting the Scbews to the People.—The tariff on wood screws of less than two inches in length is eleven cents per pound. The price of tho screws in England is from eight to nine cents per pound. The duty is, therefore, from 125 to 150 per cent. The gross value of impor tations of screws over an inch and a half in length last year was $29,000. The dnty is, therefore, proMbitory. The amount of inter nal revenue tax at ten per cent, paid by the manufacturers of wood screws in toe United States last year was $122,692.16, showing that their business amounted to $1,226,920. The tariff tax paid by toe people to them was, there fore, a good deal over a million dollars. These facts are shown at length by tho World, of toe 12th. Every wood screw used pays a bonus of more than its value to half a dozen manufac turers in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Penn sylvania. When a man is screwed np in Ms coffin Ms estate comes down handsomely for a tribute to those fellows. They are “protected” handsomely. The Fbenoh Civil Was.—Evidently the Ver sailles government is making no progress, so far against the Communists, and it looks very much as if they were crawfishing. If MoMahon withthe main force of the National Assembly is at Benil, they have fallen back a good ways from Conrbevoie and Nenilly. Benel is on the Versailles road, midway between Versailles and Fort Yalerien. Oluseret, the Insurgent Gener al, is therefore probably right in reporting a general repulse of the Versailles troops, and the loll in operations is due to toe fact that McMa hon has fonnd it necessary to wait ior reinforce ments and better organization. It is stated that loyal troops are fast concentrating at Ver sailles, and meanwhile the insurgents must be increasingly embarrassed every day by the growing scarcity of supplies. Rev. E. W. Wabben.—We learn with muoh regret that Bev. E. W. Warren, Pastor of the First Baptist Church in Macon, has accepted toe call of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta, and will remove to that city about the first of May next. The church in Atlanta makes an. exceedingly valuable acquisition in securing toe services of Mr. Warren. His pastorate in Macon, and "Ms whole professional end social life here have been full of good fruits—strong in the happiest results npon all interests and classes, and he will leave behind a substantial record, and a hearty appreciation wMoh will ever be a pleasant and profitable memory. We will recur to this matter again. Congbessional UsuBPATioN,—Gen. Slocumb, Democrat at that, has introduced into Con gress a bill to charter a company to build a submerged tubular bridge from New York to Brooklyn. Now as East River is wholly within the jurisdiction of theBtate of New York, that bill, if passed, would be as heavy apiece of usurpation as we know of. The id«» of a sub merged iron Tabular Bridge under East Biver strikes us as a better one iuan that of the bridge now in course of obstruction, a hundred and sixty feet above tide-water. The bill makes the tup~*l “a post road,” and covers np the trio* in that way. New Jeesey slew toe Radicals generally at the town eleotions last Tuesday. At Patterson the Radicals could not stand it- Finding the votes going in heavily against them, abont 3 o’clock in the afternoon they charged on the polls, drove away the inspectors, smashed toe ballot boxes and gave the ballots to the winds of heaven, by wMch they wore canvassed very rapidly, in the name of a pure elective fran- cMse and high moral ideas. Thi3 would havo been a Mgh old outrage if the Democrats "had done it. Desicbest foe May.—Brown & Company have sent ns this popular fashion magazine for May.

Affairs in Eufaula.—Tho Bluff City Times of Thursday says business is reviving in Eu faula, judging from the immense amount of freight wMch is crowding toe new and commo dious brick river warehouse of Jno. O. Martin, Esq. TMs he attributes, in a measure, to the competition between railroad and river transpor tation between Mobile andNew Orleans. Indeed, there is no reason why boating on toia river should not be always brisk. Mr. Martin showed us some freight bills of merchandise consigned to Mm, fromwMch we learned that freights fromNew Orleans to tMs point were atleastone hundred per cent, less than is charged for the same class from New York. Groceries and pro-. visions of all classes are certainly cheaper in New Orleans than New York, and the same is doubtless true of a large class of dry goods. Beegh and his agents are still after toe equine needle-pads in New York. Two hundred and tMrty of these instruments of torture have been removed, daring toe year, from toe bits of car riage bones. They consist of circular bits of polished leather, one side being studded with some tMrty or forty sharp tacks of about half- an inch in length. TMs side is turned inward, and the tacks pressing against the animal’s jaws, toe least movement of toe reins causes them to penetrate the flesh. The object in view in using these “burrs” is to “put life” into the an- mal upon which they are placed. The Springfield Republican says that with the present party machinery it will be almost im possible for toe rank and file of toe Republican party to secure the nomination of Mr. Sumner for the Presidency, however much they may desire it.
