Newspaper Page TextTelegraph and Messenger. MACON, MAY 2, 1871. Tito Koynl Progress. Tho President started ont on an electioneering tour in tho Western States the day Congress adjourned. Ho is in oustody of Senator Mor- ton, and runners are sent out nhotrd to arrange tho’ details of tho exhibition. When they got to a show-place and collect the crowd, the high- est local functionary who will act, introduces His Excellency, the President of the United States. Gen. Grant makes as good a bow a3 ho can master, and says: Fellow-citizens—This cordial greeting from you is as gratifying as it •was wholly unexpected. When I left Washing ton it was with a view of going straight through by night-train to St. lionis, where I wish to audit the accounts of my farm and tannery; but on your earnest-solicitation through your Senators and Representatives, I consented to remain hero to meet you and thank you for this unexampled welcome to your delightful city. My friend, Senator Morton, will convey to you my obligations in far more appropriate terms than I can nso, were I to try. The President then sits down, and Morton, rises and proceeds to tell what wonderful things Grant has done for his country, particularly in Bating money, in which the President is an adept. Morton then pours hot shot into the Demoorat3. Ho says it will not begin to do for the Republicans to take any position on the tariff, or civil service, or any other “individual issue,” so long 03 the country is to bo disturbed by tho wars of the Ko-klnx »n<3 Democratic agi tation against tho settlement of the issues of tho war. These are pre-eminent and overbear everything else. The war is not over, and if tho Democrats woro to carry tho next Presiden tial election tho Southern States wonld secede again with the consent of tho party. Whon Morton has said all this and much more In many words, tho curtain falls—Grant and his party button their jackets, retire, take a ju lep, light a cigar and proceed to the next place of exhibition, to meet an equally unexpected gathering of patriotic and loyal office-holders and partisans. This traveling exhibition is a pew adventure from the White House. There is no precedent for it It is true that occasionally, from George Washington down, tho American Presidents ' have made an occasional semi-official tour and mingled with the people. But thero never yet was a caso, so far as our memory or reading ex tends, in which a President has travelled around the country convoking partisan assemblies—ad dressing them by proxy as partisans; assailing tho opposition in the same style; and appealing to the people directly for a re-election. It is the first time in which a President of tho United States has token the stamp dcuing his incum bency. Nor is the caso bettered because Morton does the talking. That is simply because General Grant is, as ho says, no speaker. This is the President’s apology for introducing Morton, as his speaker,—to talk for him, and he thus not only appoints him os his agent and attorney for the occasion, but listens to and sanctions by bis presence and assent, every word of the speaker. It is a strange exhibition, bat we suppose is adapted to the man and the times. Tho fact is tho Radicals are getting politics so low down in the mud, that it is hard to reach them with plummet and line. Public Finances.—The Secretary of the Treasury estimated tho income of the current fiscal year at §353,876,010, and the expenditures of the year at two hundred and ninety millions, which would leave a surplus of sixty-nine mil lions applicablo to the principal of the national debt. The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce writes on the 22d that the receipts np to that date had been $301,000,000, and the expenditures will be within the esti mate, and there remained seventy days of the fiscal year, which will aggregate seventy-three millions more, which will leave oighty-fonr millions applicable to the debt. The complaint is that while trade and industry are prostrate and the people groaning under the weight of debt and taxation, tho government should spend such exorbitant sums for the civil list and then extort so large a surplus from tho people. The Celestials .are in danger of getting themselves into trouble. Tho Tien-tsin mas sacre is said to have been atoned for by the "execution of sundry poor fellows who agreed to suffer as culprits in consideration of a few dollars paid by tho mandarins to their families. Strange os it may appear, this kind of vicarious suffering is said to be very common among the Chinese. But the recent attack upon, and mal treatment of tho crow of the English steamer Don has drawn the attention of the Western powers to tho necessity of taking satisfaction in some other way. It is not improbable that an arma ment may be sent to China with a view to exciting a wholesome terror, which shall curb tbese demonstrations of hostility to the “for eign devils.” . * ‘The Apostate Winans—What his Constitu ents Tiusk oe Hul ”—Under fMs head the New York .•Tribune, of Monday, publishes certain -'proceedings of “the Republican electors of Jamestown,” No-w York, in which they ‘‘request" Winans “never to returuto this Assembly Dis trict.” Everybody will underfund tho force of .that “request"; but the Tribune has eyes for Ku-klux in that quarter. That is, “loyal” An klnx—high morality Ku-klux. The,Middle Geoeoxan.—Our Griffin contem porary now com?s to us in all tho radiance of a new attire, very tastefully selected. -The ox- - perienco and ability of tho conductors, Messrs, Logon, Hunt & Mangham, guarantee a very in telligent, useful and influential publication. Wo wish them much success. - Ssxvrxsa to a Close.—Tho morning report on-Paris affaire-holds out promise that the reign of the Communists will soon be over. The Joint High Commission having comple ted their negotiations, have adjourned to Wed nesday next in order to give timo to embody its conclusions in tho form of a treaty. We clip the following items from the last Valdosta Times: Hohesyxlle, April 20, 1871.—About fifteen days since, a man passed through this,place by the name' of Mathis, who claimed North Caro lina as his home. He was peddling tobacco from a two horse wagon. He - put off on the merchants and shopkeepers, in this immediate vicinity, one hundred and ten dollars in coun terfeit moneyonthe Merchants’ National Bank, in ten and twenty dollar bills.- When last hoard from he was in Scriven county, going in the direction of his snpposedhome, North Carolina. Crops are generally very backward, as far as have come under our observation. Some have replanted the third tim?,‘and cannot get stands. The cool nights that we are haying now are very bad on young cotton jnst coming up, a3 the cut worms, at such times, are generally very de structive. On dit, in Savannah, .that the “Sabre Club, of that city, has received an invitation from Jimphisque to visit New Yotk as the guests of the 9h regiment, of which James is Colonel. A man in Talbot county named Stallings, is offering 1,000 bushels of com for sale, and Red Head Harris, of the Savannah News, hastens to canonize him as “Com Stalk Stallings.” We wish there were a few more of the same sort in Georgia. , ; A lot of negroes from Jefferson county are boarding and lodging on the Custom-house stops at Savannah, waiting to tell what “dey know bent de Ku-klux,” when the smelling committee comes along. Tho Savannah News says: The patent “outside” system is now killing two or three Georgia newspapers. The plan is cheap, though. A man with a box of paper col lars, two dollars and a half, in money, and fifteen pounds of long primer, can publish a Stunning .paper. '- . M - A negro drayman drove over a little danghter of es-Mayor Russell, of Augusta, Tuesday after noon, and seriously injured her. Tho Tallulah Fire Company, of Atlanta, aro to have one of Silsby’s steam engines. It ar rived at Savannah, Tuesday, from Now York. The Augusta police made 1,832 arrests dur ing the year 1870—672 whites, and 805 blacks. For drunkenness tho whites more than doubled the negroes, while for larceny, tho latter out numbered more than eight times the whites ar rested for that crime. The Mayor of Augusta has ordered “a bushel” of English sparrows from New York, for service against tho worms in the City Hall Park. The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Wednesday, Foob Cotton Yeau.—An old and intelligent planter from a neighboring county, says this will be a poor cotton year, and that a wot April never failed to prefigure a poor cotton year. Well, if It foreshadows a heavy corn crop lot us be consoled. Wo shall not starve. The Great Mississippi Cbevasse.—The water was pouring through tho great Bonnet Carro crevasse on Thursday, as calculated by the en gineer, at tho rate of one hundred and eighty thousand cubic feet per second. The Legal Tender Act.—The Washington press dispatches intimate that the decision of tjio Supremo Court next Monday upon the question of the constitutionality of the tender act will be adverse. Fornex’s Press says that since the passage of the Ku-Elux bill outrages have been less fre quent in tlje South. .'Less frequent because there has baenjess lying in the North. I Liverpool Cotton Market.—Yesterday cot ton was firmer in Liverpool with sales in tho morning of 14,000 bales. In tho Fair caso in San Francisco tho jury brought in a TPr#ct of murejer jo the first de gree. says: -v Fbost.—Last Sunday night was a very cool ono in this city, but there was no frost discov ered. On yesterday we learned -that a heavy frost fell at Bel Air, some ten miles, from tho city, heavy enough to kill the vines of potatoes. On the Milledgeville road, six milek from Au gusta, a heavy frost fell on the same night. It was so heavy that a gentleman assures ns that ho gathered enough from an exposed buggy cushion to mako a snow balL Strange to say, vegetation was not at all injured in this locality. The Hawkinsville Dispatch wants to hire a fighting editor for the next ton days. The Dispatch tells the following story: “Com Orr-r np THAT PULPIT.”—A right lively scene occurred a few Sabbath mornings since in a church in tho upper part of this county. About tbo time the minister arose and began to address his “dear beloved brethren,” an intoxi cated man appeared before the door, and taking aim at the reverend gentleman with a double- barreled shot gun, shouted “Come ont of that pulpit” It is said that tho scene which fol lowed was lively. The inebriated person was deprived of his gun and services proceeded. The case came before tho Superior Court last week and resulted In finding a true bill against the offender who, we learn, has left for parts unknown. Mr. Sam Cox, who killed himself on the Ma con and Western railroad last Monday, was a painter by trade, and formerly lived at Hawkins ville. He has a sister, Mrs. Taylor, living in Pulaski county. We find tho following items in tho Constitu tion of yesterday: Tho wheat crop in Bartow county, so far as we can learn, and from personal examination, will be very short this year. The fly and the rust is proving disastrous to it. Some few fields will yield tolerably well, should no miscbanco happen to it between now and- the time for cut ting it. The clover crop is tho finest ever known. On the plantation of Colonel Lewis Tomlin, we saw a fifty acre field of clover, knee high; the yield will bo between two.and a half and three tons of clover hay per acre. Tho Colonel sowed another fifty acre field in clover on the 15th of February. The field is now green with young clover, and ready for grazing. Judge Hopkins, yesterday, sentenced Mr. McAfee, a worthy citizen, to pay a fine of $100 and to be committed to jail for five days, for contempt of conrt, in refusing to obey an in junction restraining him from blasting rock at his quarry. The sentence is universally con demned, and wo hope Judge Hopkins to-day will remit the imprisonment. Such severe sen tences aro calculated to bring the law and those charged with administering it into odium. A man named Von E. K. Kelen was found deaden his bed at Athens, lost Thursday morn ing. Overdose of opium and brandy. The Bamsville Gazette, of yesterday says: Deeadxul Stobm.—A terrible storm has again visited the country from eight to fifteen miles south of this city. On Thursday morning last, about tho dawning of day, an awful roaring was heard coming from a westerly direction, liko an gry murmuring thunder, and soon its approach was fonnd to be an enraged whirlwind. Our first hearing is from the neighborhood of James Trice, near Thomaston, going in an easterly di rection, through the plantations of Mr. William Stephens, Jesse Stephens, Esq., A. M. Lyon, F. F. Matthews, John McCulloch, GcOrge Sum mers, A. M. Weaver, William Smith, coming in contact with Kama church, in Monroe coun ty, completely demolishing tho wholo structure. In many places out houses were literally rent in pieces, many dwellings unroofed, chimneys laid low, orchards mado fruitless, and in many pwifj treeless, as we heard of an apple tree takon troxa. the orchard of F. F. Mathews and carried a half usio. lodging in. a.treo top of a remaining sappling. ctranprg to say, wo havo heard of no loss of life, thougn many dwellings left a wreck. On .the farms of Mr; HoOulIoch and Summers, wo learn but ono house at eatA. place remained standing. Many plantations, with thousands of pannelsof fences standing erect, and so terrible was its force as to lift a wagon body and said to havo been carried over a dwelling houso and several hundred yards into an adjoining woods. . What it Meant. We find tho following Western Press dispatch in the Kaskyillo papers, of Wednesday: . . • ■ Tho critic«tu.which has been made in some Radical quarters language of thatportion of tho Democratic assess, which calls all onr fellow-citizens in all panic „{ jhe Union to spare no effort to oarefnlly protect Vhayjght of every citizen, to preservo kindly relating, among all men, and to discountenance and discoumgo any THE EAST EUROPEAX WOSDE8 Tlio Bleeding: Girl of Hatnanlt—Science at * Fault—Is it a Miracle? All scientific Europe is agog over a series of occurrences that havo lately happened in the person of a girl living in Hainault, Belgium, whose name is Louise Lateau, and whose ago is seventeen or thereabouts. The account just published of her curious performances by Dr. Day,..in Macmillan’s Magazine (London) is deeply interesting,' and may well stagger the most skeptical. From a synopsis of that article made by the New York Times, we mako the following abridgement: ‘ ’ \ In 1868, having for a short time .been out to service, she fell into ill health. For a month she seemed on tho verge of tho grave. At this juncture began her extraordinary performances. One Friday morning a slender rivulet of blood began to trickle from her left side. After a while it ceased, but on tho next Friday blood oozed from the upper surface of hor feet. On the third Friday it camo simultaneously from side, feet, and- hands. A few months after blood came also from her head; and now, by the latest accounts, “she presents every Friday —and on Fridays only—an awful Sort of image of the bleeding form of Christ on the Cross.” Cataleptio symptoms accompany thw exhibi tion. The young woman goes at 8 o’clook in the morning into a species of franco. In this, sho says she beholds in vision the scene of tho Passion. Tears roll down her cheeks, but now and then sho smiles in ecatacy. Sho is insensi ble to all outward sights or sounds, and remains unmoved by even very strong electric shocks. Until 5 in the day she remains in coma, blood appearing constantly a3 described. She then leaps up with a bound, falls into a cold sweat, imn a rattle in her throat, and an imperceptible pulse, and seems on Uio point of death. Nev ertheless, Bhe recovers in about fifteen minutes, and then remains in her usual state until the following Friday. When news began to spread of this strango affair, crowds of people naturally began to flock to witness it. Tho Roman Catholio clergy, of tho neighborhood, at once, wo are assured, call ed in able physicians. Ono those, Dr. Lefebore, has given great attention to the case, and has printed n monograph of it. This gentleman has been for two years at tbo bead of tho medi cal staff of two lunatic asylums, and is likewise a Professor in Louvain University. His report is examined at length by Dr. Day,'and tho lat ter has received a noto from Dr. Lefebore, stat ing that, as lately as the middle of January, tho condition of Louisa Lateau remained unchang ed. His experiments have been numerous and interesting. He scrutinized the places from which tho blood exuded with a microscope, and found that on those places the epidermis is very thin, so that tho true skin can be seen through it When the bleeding is going to begin-, a lit tle bladder appears on tho spots, filled, with a transparent reddish fluid. A rent takes place in tho cuticle, the serous fluid escapes, and tlio blood begins to ooza from the surface of the ex posed papillae within. Tho quantity of blood often amounts to nearly a quart. Pending its flow, the doctor repeatedly tickled Louise’s nose with a feather, made her smell ammonia, prick ed her with a needle, and passed a strong elec tro-magnetic current along her arm. All this the girl invariablylbora without tho least sign of uneasiness or even of feeling.. Dr. Lefeboro carefully wrapped her hands in strong, well- stitched leather glovc3, drew them tightly at the wrists, sealed the strings, and then watched tho result. This was, simply, that tho gloves, when taken off, were filled with blood. In brief, this physician and others feel totally unable, however awtnrd may be any diGerent assump tion, to declare that the girl is consciously an imposter. Latest from France. “Advice to tlio Southern Democrats.” Under this head the New York Herald, of Thursday, prints tho subjoined article, which puzzles up, in the part wo havo italicised, indi eating, as it seems to do, a desire for the suc cess of the Democracy and a conclusion which certainly all Democrats will endorse: The prospects of tho Democratic party for carrying the next Presidential election, or for breaking down the power of tho Radicals, de pend in a great measure upon tho conduct of tho Southern Democrats. Tho parly in the North and the Democratic representatives in Congress from all sections, as wo have seen by tho address they have just issued, aro on the right track. IE tho Southerners will follow tho course of tho Northom Democrats and their own Congressmen who signed this address, they will deprive the Radicals of much of the political capital relied upon for electioneering purposes. Tho burden of Senator Morton’s speech lately delivered in Washington, which was intended as a campaign document, as well as of all the speeches and arguments of the Radicals, is that the Democrats, the Southern Democrats partic ularly, aro resolved to undo tho work of the war, to repudiate the constitutional amendments, ancl to deprive tho negroes of the rights secured to them by law. This’ is a libel, no aonbt, upon tho mass of tho Democratic party, both North and South, and tho address of the Con gressmen to which we have referred shows that. Bat if any man of extreme and exploded Stato rights views—any imprudent and impracticable men claiming to bo Democrats—should express sentiments in conflict with the accomplished facts of the war and obnoxions to the conserva tive masses of the people, tho Radicals will not fail to nso that against tho whole party. They know the people are sensitive on the subject of disturbing tho issues of tho war, and mako that the ground of hostility, even though unjustly, against tho Democrats. Wo advise tho South erners, therefore, particularly the old secession leaders, who aro odious to the loyal people of the country, to abjure thoir heresies and im practicable views,or, at least,to remain modestly in the background, where they ought to remain. 2 he only hope for the South, qs well as for the country, to get bade to constitutional, liberal and economical government is through the Democrat ic-parly. Will the Southerners—will tho Blaiis and Yallandighams of tho North—comprehend tho situation and become more practical? That is tho question. The party has made a good start through the action of its representatives in Congress, bat it remains to bo seen whether others, who assume to be leaders, will be as prudent, conservative and sensible. Selling Ont a “Developer.” We find tho following in a lato Raleigh paper: Labge Land Sale.—N. W. Woodfin and R. W. Pulliam, Trustees, will commence selling at Asheville, on the 6th of June next, an immense amount of real estate situated in the Western counties, belonging to Georgo W. Swopson.— Tho various tracts of land advertised for salo foot up about 225,000 acres, besides an undi vided half interest in a largo amount of other property. , . . Swepson will bo remembered as tho trooly loll partner with ono Littlefield in Btealing North Carolina and Elorida by tho aid of the carpet-bag and scalawag governments thereof. Wo don’t suppose there was ever a bigger ras cal than this same Swepson, or a handier when it came to gathering in snch trifles as State bonds, railroads and qther like valuables. That he winds up with, only 225,000 acres of land is truly astonishing. Honest men must be coming to their own in North Carolina when Swepson is redufed to such a beggarly pittance. How are the mighty fallen, though. Radical Kn-Uluv. Tho New York San says: violation c.f tie rights of any porlion Tri the Probably tho first case to corno before the people'under Iho. Constitution or any of iul United States Courts in the South, under the amendments, is untruo so far as it is Intended to make it appear.'that the Democratic caucus did not recognize tho validity of the Fourteenth and Fiftoenth Amendments, or the legislation under them.' While the Democratic members 'did not believe that the reconstruction acts were consti tutional, nor approve of tho way tho Fif teenth Amendment was ratified, because certain Slates were denied admission into tho Union till forced to ratify it, they at the samo time propose to accept both as of full effect. This was what the tenor of the debate indicated, and what the above language of the address was in tended to convey. Only three members of the party—two from Maryland and one from Dela ware-opposed it Fibe in Jacksonville.—A correspondent at Jacksonville, writing to the Courier under date of the 22d, gives the following particulars of a firq in that city; - ■-si' About noon to-day a fire originated in a frame dwelling on Forsyth street, near Pine, which resulted in the destruction of a whole square of, dwellings and stores, among them a new briok blook, in all thirteen buildings. • Estimated loss abont $10,000, abont one-half insured.

Sotde two or three weeks ago the safe of the Treasurer of Abbeville county was broken into and robbed of fifteen thousand dollars in money, none of 1 which, lag yet been recovered. The Chief Constable of the state has succeeded intraoing the crime to three brothers named Guffin, originally Northern moD, but for some lime residents of Abbeville. One of tho Guffins is a member of the Legislature, another is Pro bate Judge of the county, and tho third is Mayor of the town of Abbeville. All Ihree'-fcavP" been arrested and fire now in close confinement in Colombia. The Chief Constable says he has the most indubitable proof of their guilt The Sun thinks it would be a singular thing if tho Ku-klux force bill, which, as is claimed by if framers, was intended to suppress disorder throughout the South, should after all do some thing toward accomplishing its purpose, in an indirect way, by removing the causa of these disturbances in the persons of dishonest officials and scalawag adventurers. A “wood ibis,” a very rare bird in this coun try, was recently captured at Jones’ Bluff, Ala. It is sixty-one inches high, and eighty-five inch es from tip to Up of the wings. Washington, April 27.—Thiershas announced that active operations commenced yesterday. The Yersaillists made an unsuccessful attempt to cross the Seine to Clichy. Seven of Fort Issy’s guns have been dismounted. Fort Mon- tronge is in ruins. The Southern forts aro badly damaged. The Versaillists’ projectiles from the South fall within the ramparts, and many have been killed and wounded. Tho Mot d’Ordre says the Commune will blow up the forts, if necessary. Tho Communal Council now holds secret sessions. The Joint High Commission has adjourned to May 3d, by which time it is understood the clerks will have the treaty in shape. The impression is general that tho opinion of tho Supreme Court on Monday next will bo ad verse, in some, if not in all respeots, to the late decision regarding the legal tender act. But it is impossible, by open and fair mcan3, to obtain facts. However much the Supreme Court Jus tices ha-o leaked to interested parties, they have been water-tight to tho legitimate repre sentatives of tho press. 1 Yeesailles, April 26, evening.—Fort Issy’s fire ceased at noon to-day. Tho other insurgent works continue their fire. The first parallol of tho besiegers opontd to-day. Tho second par allel is commenced. A general attack is ex pected to-night. Tho Commune havo sent their best battalions to the threatened points, but the defense seems insufficient. The Mississippi Crevasses. New Orleans, April 26.—Tho following is from the official report of tho Chief Engineor of Stato, Mr. Thompson, at 3 o’clock p. ai. Wednes day night: “Upon my retnm from Bonnet Carre crevasse this evening, I found very limited news from other crevasses, and nothing definite or worth publishing, by telegrams. I learn tho river has fallen three inches‘Jit Yi'cksbdrg and two and a half at Baton Kongo. It is now eight feet and eight inches below the high water mark of 1867 at Vicksburg, and thirteon inches below high water of this year at Baton Rouge. I found Bonnet Carro crevasse 1,100 feet wide to-day, but tho curren.t. and waves.had decreased in proportions as tho back lands became filled and tho surface of tho river lowered. The high water hiark at Logue’s is almost 22 feet above the level of Lake Ponchartrain. Tho levee be- yound is 12 foet high. The natural surface of tho ground at Porchot’s, where the crevasse commenced, is but ten feet above the level land- “To-day the rivor had fallen and the planta tions wore coverd with water to the base of tho levee. Therefore, I repeat, the current through tho crevasse has decreased, and probably no moro wator passes to-day than yesterday. I am indebted to Colonel Walton for a calculation of the volume of water passing,, which ho mado this morning before our arrival, which shows ono hundred and eighty thousand cubic feet per second, or ono-sixth of the whole volume of tho Mississippi at that point.” “The work of saving the ends of the levee is progressing slowly, on nocount of the want of experienced labor and the changing conditions of field operations. The steam pile driver got hard aground away from its work. The hand pile driver only is working—doing good service at tho lower end of tho break. Temporary works at tho upper end have been washed away, and it is now exposed to the current and is cav ing gradually. “Financial arrangements must bo mado to prosecute tho work with systematic labor, or what wo aro doing will bo simply thrown away. In my opinion it is utterly useless to attempt to close the crovasse, for the preparations conld not bo made before the river falls, and the damage yet to bo done is a question of a month’s duration and of not much extent. I close by hoping that means will be provided to save tbo ends of tho levee, in order that less may have to be rebuilt.” Hartford, April 27.—Frederick Hall was convicted of murder in the first degree—killing a woman. Both colored. San Fbancisco, April 27.—The Fair 'jury was out but forty minutes, and returned a verdict of murder in the first degree. New York, April 27.—A mass meeting of the Crispins is in session, composed of delegates from all parts of the Union. Tho speakers de nounced the Burlingame treaty for sanctioning the introduction of Chinese labor, and criticizoi tho New England capitalists who held up their hands in horror at negro slavery, and at tho samo time foster a more degrading system of Coolie slavery; and protested that their remon strances to Congress woro practically unheeded. Washington, April 27.—Spinner Is worse Corcoran is better. Colonel Ruger has been appointed Superin tendent of West Point. Collector Wallace, of the third South Carolina district, and Deputy Marshal Sherman, while seizing contraband whisky at Greenville, Wal lace was struck on tbo head from behind and his skull fractured, probably fatally. Tho Georgia caso recently argued before the Supreme Court, involving the value of notes for slaves will not be decided until another case Irom Arkansas has been argued, which argn ment will probably not occur until December. Richmond, April 27.—Luoien Beard, the no torious horse thief, wilh Alfred Hazle and J. W. Watson, two men from North Carolina, held.by the United States authorities for passing coun terfeit money, escaped from jail this morning at 3 o’clock. -r - •-> New Orleans, April 27.—Two colored grad uates of the Howard University, District of Co lumbia, this morning applied to the Supreme 'Court for admission to the bar of this State. The application was refused on the ground.that although parties who have practiced before the Supreme Conrt of any Stato can be admitted upon a motion before tho Court, yet those can didates, coming from a territory,do not come within the letter of tho law, will have to pass an examination of a committee appointed by tho Snpreme Conrt before they can bo admitted to practice. Judge Dibble gives Sheriff Sauvinet, colored, in a $1000 snit in tho 8th district conrt against tho proprietors of tho Bank Saloon, $10,000 damages for refusing to furnish refreshments on acconnt of color.

It is understood, how ever, that an. elaborate opinion -will be read next Monday, announcing the -unanimous de cision of the conrt on a collateral point, sustain ing the validity of gold contracts made since the passage of the Legal Tender act of 1862. There seems to be no reason to doubt that the majority of the Court, consisting of Justioss Miller, Swayne, Davis, Strong and Bradley, will affirm the constitutionality of saidLegal Tender aot, and decide that contraots made before the war, in which no special kind of money was mentioned, may be fulfilled by payment in greenbacks. The minority, consisting of Chief Justice Chase and Justices Nelson, Field and Clifford, willdissent from this decision, and de clare the opinion that the Legal Tender act cannot constitutionally apply to any snch con tracts. • Several important oases which havo been ar gued thi3 term will'not be decided until after the expiration of the recess, among which is one from Kentucky involving the constitution ality of the civil rights bilL- The cage of Kleim & Pargont, involvibg-tho constitutionality of Drake’s amendment relating to the effect of a pardon in the Court of Claims will bo held under advisement until Ootober, as will also bo the case of Watson et al. vs. Jones et al., involving tho disputed rights to property between the Presbyterian Church North and tho Presbyterian Church South. The case of White versus Hart et al., on an appeal from tho Supreme Court of Georgia involving tho binding force of notes given for slaves previous to the emancipa tion proclamation, will not be decided until the argument is heard in tho similar case of Holmes vs. Seiver, appeal from the Circuit Court of Arkansas. The deoision of the former case will turn upon the question whether the’provision of the Georgia Constitution prohibiting enforce ment, the consideration of whioh concerned slaves, is in contravention of the article of the Federal Constitution which declares that no State Bhall make any law impairing the obligation of contraots. The recent deoision of the Su preme .Court in a case in which a note for slaves was concerned, wa3 determined by other considerations, and the impressions prevalent in some quarters are that the foregoing ques tion, as it was then decided, is erroneous. St. Louis, April 27.—Colonel K. Taylor, of tho United States army, returned to Fort Leav enworth on Tnesdav from Fort SilL He says there aro abont3,000 Indians at Cheyenne Agen cy, mostly Arrapahoo3 and Cheyennes. The former tribe is very well disposed. Bat among tho latter there seems to bo a feeling of discon tent,- probably growing out of the appearance of surveying parties in the interest of railroad corporations. These Indians are very much op posed to tho extension of railroads through their country. Ten Chiefs, representing the principal tribes, havo been invited to Washington, and it is likely tho railroad question will be dis cussed. Little Raven will go on behalf of the Arrapahoes and Little Robe or Wild Horso for the Cheyennes. .Should the chiefs refuse to attend the proposed conference in-Washington, trouble is to bo feared this summer.

Tho funeral of tho infant Prince Alexander John Charies Albert, the third son and sixth child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, who was born on Thursday, tho 6ih instant, and died on tho afternoon of the following day, took placo at Sandringham on the afternoon of the ,11th. .Tho London Daily News of tho follow ing day gives this account: 5 Tho fnneral ceremonial was of the simplest possible character, and conducted with privacy, the few people who traveled from Lynn and elsewhere, and they were not numerous—it be ing KiDg’s Lynn market day—being kept on the high-road outside the park palisading, and only those connected with the royal estate being ad mitted into the park. The weather was dnll and rather cold, but not so severe as it had been on some previous days. The pathway from tho garden gate to the church-yard was lined on each side by the la borers, workmen and cottagers on the estate, and near the church-yhrd were a score or two of children belonging to tho Princess’ sohools, who were dressed in scarlet capes, etc., the presents of the Princess of Wales. Tho de meanor of all present was devout in tho highest degree. The procession moved on from the houso to tho church with no accompanying toll ing of bells, the only pnblio intimation of what was going on being that the flags were half-mast high on the towers of the Sandringham and King’s Lynn ohurohes, tho Grey Friar’s Tower and some other places. Tho fnneral ceremony was condnotedby Hon. and Very Rov. the Dean of Windsor, Dr. Wellesley, assisted by Rev. W. Lake Onslow, M. A., rector of SandriDgkain, The coffin of the infant Prince bore the follow ing inscription: “Alexander John Charles Albert, ... „ Third Son of Albert Edward and Alexandra, Prince and Princess of Wales, Bom April 6, 1871, Died April 7,1871.” A vault had been provided Under tbo east window of tbe church, and tho tomb stone of which will bo visible from the grounds. The coffin was a handsome mahogany one, with sil ver ornaments, covered with a pall of white silk with a violet velvet cross. Before it was low ered the Prince of Wales placed on it six im mortelles, for tho Princess, himself, tho QaeeD, tho Queen of Denmark ahd tho young Princess! A body of young ladies in white dresses scattered white violets, primroses, and anemones on tho coffin, instead of earth, at the sentence “Ashes to ashes,” etc. At the conclusion of the cere mony the procession reformed and returned to Sandringham House, and the vault was at once bricked up. The Prince of Wale3 entertained the tenantry and others on the conclusion of the ceremony. The Senate Extra Session.—The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald,nftor giving an elaborate description of Earl do Groy’s enter tainment to tbe Washington elite, whioh he says was designed as a farewell fete and understood as indicating and approaching a satisfactory con clusion of the labors of the High Commission, says that “although the poihts of settlement of tho questions in dispute between the United States and Great Britain aro agreed upon they havo not yet been reduced to treaty or conven tion form, the delay being occasioned by tho waiting for responses from the British govern ment to the oommnnications snbmitted toil by the British Commissioners. They, however, have no doubt their official transactions will be fully approved. f. ‘ ‘It was in this confidence, united with the sug gestions, of our own Commissioners, that Presi dent Grant called an extraordinary; session at the Senate for the 20th of ; May, thus allowing ample) time for the perfection of the measures to be submitted.” Whew !—The, Montgomery Mail of/Tuesday is responsible for the following.

The Georgia Railroad and Banking Company. Case from-Morgan. Loohbane, . O. J.—A brought his action against a railroad company for damages near a pablic crossing, whioh resulted in the death of his wife, and averred negligenco on their part in their failure to erect blow posts, P.nd blow the whistle as required by law; by reason of which the accident occurred; and further averred the los3 of tho society of bis said wife, and her aid and management of his domestic affairs daring the time sho lived after such accident, and his expenditures of money, as well as the injuries sustained by himself and family .by her death, and a demurrer was filed to tho declaration upon two grounds! 1. There was no liability, as the accident was not the result of collision. 2. That the husband had no right of action for the death of his wife. The Conrt over ruled tho demurrer, snd afterwards refused, on request, to give tho principles of the same in charge, and the case proceeded to the jury. The jury found for tho plaintiff $7,000 damages, whereupon a motion was made for a new trial, which was granted by the Conrt. Held, first, That inasmuch as tho judgment of the Conrt overruling the demurrer, was made the subject matter of a separate bill of excep tions, wo refer to that judgment of the Conrt, and will not hero repeat the decision. Held, again, That the charge and refusal to charge by tkefcourf, under the facts of the case, was error, and, in view of the decision made by tbe court upon the demurrer, we affirm the judgment of the-court below granting a new trial. Judgment affirmed. V. Thomas G. Lawson, Reese & Reese, for plaintiff in error. A. G. & F. C. Foster, for defendant. Frank Loyd and James “Ward vs. The State of Georgia. Burglary, from Chatham.

Thrasher vs. Foster et aL Rule from Morgan.-- 1 Lochbane, O. J.—Where, upon issue joined on a sheriff’s answer between two contesting judgments; claiming money raised by the sale of the property of defendant, it appears upon tho trial that the judgment of Thrasher was dated 10th of September, 1868, and on the 12th of May, 1862, the fi. fa. issued therefrom had an entry by the sheriff of costs received from, the plaintiff; and it also appeared, in 1867, he had petitioned the court for an order granting an alias fl. fa., which was granted, and with the proceedings in March, 1867, was placed upon the minutes of the Superior Court, r.nd it farther appeared, at the time of the salo of the prop erty, a transoript of tho record of judgment in January, 1868, was placed in tho sheriff’s hands at tho time of sale, and in March subse quent thereto tbo fi. fa. w&3 placed in bis hands and upon tho trial of such issue this judgment fi. fa, with the entries thereon, were rejeoted by the court, on tho ground that it was dor mant, to which exception was then m'ade, and tho oonrt, after the rejection of the other fi. fa., permitted tbe other contestant to take a verdict: Held, That it was error in the court to have permitted t]ie verdict, under the facts in this caso, as under his ruling rejecting tho fi. fa., thero was no issue to try, and nothing which invoked the judgment of the jury, and that his judgment was in effect final, and came before this Court properly by appeal. Held again, Under the facta in this case, and the former decisions of the court, the court erred in holding the judgment to be dormant. The entry by tho sheriff, of costs reoeived from the plaintiff,.was sufficient to keep the judg ment from becoming dormant and'the petition for the issuing of an alias fi. fa. and the pro ceedings therein had, was evidence of .the intent of such plaintiff that his judgment was subsisting within the provision of law, and that tho court erred in holding tho judgment to the dormant. Judgment reversed upon the ground that the court erred in holding thofi. fa. to bo dormant tinder the facts in the case, and that a new trial should bo granted.
