MACON, JULY 25, 1871. frfnwnr. —The dispatches report a very excited Irish mass meeting in New York,Wednes day night, over the riots and their melancholy results. These events are sufficiently deplorable without making them worse by foolish talk and - threatening. The g«nnnniatitnut of -Gotoiuoi Hoff nun by the Hibernians, on the one side, and ol Mayor Hall, by the Radicals, on the other, aro alike undeserved and ridiculous.— Both manifestly acted aooording to their best judgment the Governor in defence of what he considered a right, and the Mayor to avoid riot end bloodshed. prepi.Which was right in the matter, is a question • of serious and honest doubt. The adrnnui^ y , generally in favor of the American feeling ■“» nt j action ; and, above San Domingo Again. • The Philadelphia Enquirer, a leading Radical Journal, prints a letter from S*n Domingo, dated Jane 26th, which is well calculated to ex cite attention and remark. r Acoording to his statement the surrender of the Domingo an nexation project of Grant, means simply and only a waiver till after the election. Meanwhile a strong naval force ifl kept there with instruc tions to back Baez against all foes, foreign and domestic. The very last mail steamer brought out the following instructions to the American Naval Commander, from the HomeDepartment 1 ‘‘While your force is temporarily reduced you will be especially vigilant in protecting the present Dominican Administration against Ml assailants, whether foreign or Domestic, and, in disposing your force, conform as far as practic able to the wishes of Preeident Baez.” Under these instructions the American ships of war have been put at the service of Baez, and theerews are daily, drilled with a view to land service in order to assist in repelling any largest liberty of speech ax^ . en assaults on Baez. -it «„ .,»«to being deterred^ - The necessity for these provisions and orders course by threat andmenance. StS grave doubt whether the Majestra* should allow needless popular demonstrating on Entirely foreign issues, at the hazard of public disturbance and loss of property and life. There ia a wide difference of opinion on this point among intelligent men Wring no local interest in Nefc York, nor any bias in the matter. But there should and must he toleration un der a popular government. The people must learn to bear and forbear. Whites and blacks— Fenians and Orangemen—French and Ger mans—Irish and English, in the United States, must loam to submit to the avowals of opposing interests and opinions, and content themselves with maintaining their own views without for cibly assailing their antagonists. This is the true Democratic platform. .This is the onjy plan upon whloh we can possibly maintain civil freedom. T.twin and Waoes.—Reviewing the last an nual report of the “California Labor and Em- 2 ployment Exchange,” the Now York Commer cial Advertiser says it is evident a great battle '• tas been fought on the Pacific shore between Labor and Capital, and Labor has been obliged to surrender, so far as to yield up the point of its natural eng inevitable antagonism to Capital and to conoede practically that It must not op- crate upon the plan of the highwayman, but must bargain and trade on fair and equitable principles. What is the result of this conces sion upon labor ? The absurdity of all the stri ker's arguments is displayed in the fact that the California savings banks show at this time thirty millions dollars' deposits to the credit of the working classes in that State—a sum here tofore unprecedented. It is not disputed that there may be individual and exceptional cases of hardship, resulting from illnees, death or dissi pation; but taken as a mass, the laboring pop ulation of California were never in so prosper ous a condition; and this is the answer to the false and ridioulons pleas of trades-unions that Labor must strike or maintain itself in a strik ing condition in order to save itself from ruin hy tbo aggressions of Capital. “Limerick.”—A correspondent at Eufaula who fails to send his real name, by the by, writes us that the communication sent the Tel egraph and Messenger over the above signa ture, and published as original matter in Tues day's issue, was copied, word for word, fromtho N. Y. Herald, of a late date, which the correspond ent gives, but whioh we do not now recollect We don’t like being imposed upon in this man ner, but while newspapers are printed there will always be plagiarists to palm off the products of other brains as their own. We catch one of these chaps occasionally, and it makes him refresh ingly mad—so mad, in fact, that he nevor tries the little game—on ns, at least—again. If “Limeriok” has been at this small business we’ll venture a lively bet that he won’t mix the Telegraph and Messenger up with it any more. We say “if,” only because we have not been able to find tho issue of the Herald referred to, and thus settle tho question beyond peradven- ture. arises from the fact that Baez is extremely ■f^odioua tojthe people, and the leaders of the hos- life factions are combining against him, and wouftS drive him out at onoe, but for fear of the American ships. His so-called army amounts to a rabble of less than eighteen hundred men, all told, as the Commander-in-oMef assured the writer ; and these “troops” have not been paid for months, and now receive only a single ra tion of plantains per day. Meantime, Baez has been sustained by the as surance that before the m onth of Jaly is out, he shall receive the $150,000 rental for Samana, which Congress refused to make an appropria tion for, and this promise bnojs’up the sinking hopes of Baez. Since these measures for annexing Domingo to the United States have been in progress, Americans have become so odious to (he Ban Domingo population, as to be unsafe on. the island. The writer says that out of tho twenty- five white Amerioans, outside of Government officials, who resided on the island a year ago, all but two have thought it necessary to consult their personal safely by leaving for the United States; and the natives manifest their extreme hostility to onr people by assaulting them with deadly* weapons whenever a chance to do it safely turns up. Such is thelcharacter of this new American protectorate according to Radical authority. Tho writer winds up with the fol lowing tribute to the salubrity of this “Grand American Sanitarium.” - ' .’!. 0 The weather here is intensely hot, and we be gin to fear ravages of pestilence. Some one has aptly said that “the history of San Domingo, is that of a cemetery.” In 1795 the British landed 9,800 troops. The following year this force was increased to 22,450, with a powerful naval squadron to co-operate. In December, 1797, only 3,000 men remained alive, and Ed wards, in the history of the West Indies, tells us that at the evacuation soon afterward only 1,100 remained alive. In 1802, as we learn from Thiers’ history, Napoleon I. landed here 32,000 men, mostly veterans of Egypt, sustained by a squadron of twenty-five oail-of-the-Iine. Before the year 1803 was over thirteen general officers were dead, and only 12,000 men re mained fit for duty. In later days, the Span iards buried 16,000 men, lost by disease alone. Shall wo not learn a lesson before sending to this national graveyard our own sons and broth ers? The Abolition of Grand Juries.—Grand ju ries have been abolished in the State Courts of Wisoonsin by an aot of the Legislature which went into effect July 1. In the United States Circuit Court, held at Oshkosh, Jndge Miller, in delivering his charge to tho grand jury of that court, took occasion to comment upon this law, and ia strong terms expressed his regret at the change. Jndge Miller reviewed the history of the grand jury system and the objects for which it had been instituted, and said that the people of Wisconsin wonld have reason to de- ploro the abolition of grand juries as a great public calamity. He also said that the fathers of thin Republic, if alive to see the grand juries abolished, would consider the inhabitants of Wisconsin a degraded people. Needs Something.—The new machinery of the Postoffice at this point seems to need greas ing, or something else. Certainly it don’t work with any remarkable amount of smoothness, just at present Two or three times lately we have received the mail intended for the Chris tian Advocate, the Farm and Home and Burke’s Weekly, while ours went to the office of those publications. Possibly new speotacles or spel ling books, or both are needed. ' Northern Peach Trade.—It is said the Del aware Peaoh Growers’ Association will, this year, send to market 3,315,000 baskets, and Pennsylvania 4,000,000. A basket is about half a bushel so contrived as to look like a bushel. Long Islapd and New Jersey have oeased to be important peach producing dis tricts. The peach now centres in Sonthem Delaware contiguous to Chesapeake Bay and along the eastern shore of Maryland. Laura Fair and Lydia Thompson.—A writer in tho Capital who has known Mrs. Laura Fair a good many years says of her personal appear ance : ‘ If Lydia Thompson were a little taller, more rounded and fuller in form, had durk eyes and lashes, and greater wealth of hair, she would bear a striking likeness to Mwt, Fair when at the zenith of her charms. Without the ohanges the fair Lydia still closely resembiea her, in manner as well as person.” Fresh Pineapples.—This delicious fruit is now coming upon our market, and epicures are correspondingly happy. We confess to a weak ness for them, and Felix Corput, round the cor ner, has found it out. We had some very fine ones yesterday, the flavor of which still lovingly lingers upon our palate, causing our lips to smack his praise. Mubdebs Pardoned.—In onr list of pardons by Governor Bullock, yesterday, the first item read as follows:“Murders, including fifteen counties, 56.” The word counties was a mis print. It should hare been “commutations.” A numbeb of the recently graduated senior class of Williams College, have sailed for the Newfoundland banks in Gloucester vessels, one or two shipping as common hands for the “ex perience.” A blind or, reoently sold in Minnesota, broke from the inclosore of its purchaser, swam a river, and walked twentymiles Jo its old home, guided by “instinct.” The Greenwich street elevated railway, since its transfer, is recovering, and threatens to be $ good investment Mr. Alierman in North Carolina. We see by a dispatch in the New York Tri bune of Monday, that Attorney General Aker- man has been rampaging down in North Caro lina. On Sunday last he made a speech in Wel don as the dispatch says to a “goodly" audience’ '’consisting almost entirely or hc^umi ..a rep resenting a large portion of this State.” We • 1 *~» that the amiable Attor ney General should have selected Sunday for his prelection, bnt so the dispatch states it: “Weldon, N. O., July 16.—Attorney General Akerman spoke here to-day,” etc., eto. This is the way we account for it: Akerman was bound down to Robeson connty to see how Lowery is coming on, and stopping at Weldon, regaled himself on one of those execrable din ners for which that place has a world-wide oe- lebrity. The black and greasy knives—the dirty table-cloth—the stringy beef—the sobby potatoes—the black coffee—the dingy bread, eto., all operating on that immense natural res ervoir of bile with which Master Attorney is endowed, stimulated eructation tef such a won derful extent that immediate relief must be had. Accordingly, he rushed from the table—seized his hat and encountering at the door the osual collection of straggling niggers who congregate, there, on Sundays especially, to see the “o’yars,” he proceeded to disgorge himself at once on the Democrats of North Carolina in a maimer be soming his best conceptions ’of what was due the dignity of a Cabinet counsellor and the chief law offioer of the crown. In this speech he virtually promises the ne groes that if the people of North Carolina should amend their constitution, as some of them talk of doing, it shall be set aside at the point of the bayonet. We should do injustice to Akerman to suppose he could have made such a pledge unless excited by a Weldon dinner or half a pint of the famous Weldon extract of com. This part of his speech'was telegraphed to the Tribune as follows: “I have been asked, in case the proposed Convention should assemble and provide a new Government for the State, and the present Government should refuse to be displaced, and a collision should arise between the two, which one would the Government of the United States maintain ? I cannot answer. I cannot under take to say what will be the mind of Congress or of the President in that unhappy emergency. I will remind yon, however, that the Supreme Court of the United States has pronounced, fTivAnivTi (Tin vnnntft nf T’ornm fV*at voefa tp?fTv through the mouth of Taney, that ‘it rests with Congress to decide what Government is the es tablished one in the State.’ (Lather agt. Bor den, 7 Howard, 42.) And I will express the opinion that Congress, having provided, in 18G7, for the establishment of a lawful Government in North Carolina, through the action of her own people; having afterward approved the Constitution which her people ratified by a large majority; having recognized tho credentials of that Government, in admitting members from North Carolina to seats, will not suffer that Government to be overturned in 1871, exoept by proceedings that are well founded in law. I will also remind yon that the same Court has pronounced in the same case, that when acali- is made on the President to protect a State against domestic violence, growing out of such a collision, it is his duty,-under the law'which Congress has made, to determine which party is the lawful Government; and which party is insurgent; and it is my opinion that the pres ent National Executive, finding two so-called Governments in the field, will uphold that one of them which Congress had reoognized, unless he found fh«t it had been lawfully superseded by the other.” And underneath this paragraph is telegraphed some compliments to the speech, such as that “throughout it was ah abU, statesmanlike ef fort" whioh wonld satisfy everybody that Aker man is a “thorough-going, * “advanced Repub lican,” a point we dare say no Radical ever doubted; for admitting that Republicanism, as they interpret it,, consists in a .rancorous ani mosity to law and to one’s own species, no man is more advanced in this particular than.

Michael Collins, a steamboat watchman, fell into the river at Savannah, Monday night, and was drowned. A trial of the traction engine, at Savannah, was the street sensation Tuesday, and was en tirely satiafaotoryt * — Of the flood at toe Langley Cotton Factory and the Bath Paper Mills, Tuesday morning, and the damages therefrom, the Chronicle and Sentinel, of Wednesday, says : We regret to chronicle a most disastrous oc currence at Langley and the Bath "Paper Mills, by which two most flourishing manufacturing enterprises have been badly damaged. Briefly, on yesterday morning, about three o'clock, the immense dam at Langley Cotton Factory broke, and the contents of a pond of water, covering, some six hundred acres, swept away. This enormons quantity of water "was precipitated into the pond of the Bath Paper manufactory, and the dam there was unable to stand the pressure, and went down in a few minutes. The combined waters’of the two’ ponds' then swept onward, until they reaohed the track of the South Carolina Railroad, near Horse creek, where half a mile of trestle work and embank ment were undermined and destroyed. The damage done to all parties is estimated at about forty thousand dollars. The Langley Factory has lost between twentyand twenty-five thousand dollars by the breakage of the dam. But the heaviest damage will be found in the time which it will take to complete the repairs. It will be four months before the factory can be placed In running order again, and during this time fully two hundred operatives will be thrown out of employment. The factory oommenced work only about two months ago, and this early suspension is universally regretted. It is estimated that the Paper Mill will have to expend about fifteen thousand dollars in re pairing the dam, and a good many hands wUl be left without employment. We quote as follows from the same paper of same date: .- ft. Another Road for Augusta.—The Columbia Phcenix learns that the-Wilmington and Colum bia Railroad have determined to extend their road to Augusta.. Mr. George W. Earle,- an ex perienced engineer, will begin a survey of the new route at an early day. OoL R. R. Bridges, the President of the .Wilmington and Manches ter Railroad, Major Townsend, President of the Cheraw and Salisbury Railroad, and Mr. Earle, were in onr city yesterday, says the Phoenix, and we learn that their visit was in reference to the extension of the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusla-Road to Augusta. • There could.be no more pleasing news to the people of Augusta than this. Let the road oome, and it will meet with a warm reception. James L. Rider has been arrested for bigamy. Having a wife at Portsmouth, Ya., he married in Pennsylvania last year, and again last month at Pooghkeepsie. Several cases of seduction are also pending agai&st Rider.—Exchange. This man Rider, or a man having the same name, flourished around Augusta considerably last-spring, and asserted that he was one of the engineers for the survey of the Augusta and Hartwell Rairoad. He went with the surveyors as flagman. On their return, he took anew departure, and loft numerous bills which are _i!lf : — — J ia Ann At fTvnf Proof Positive.—The Commercial Advertiser says an Orangeman was staggering home last Sunday night, singing on the way that well known Slogan “Croppies, lie down." A Hiber nian unfortunately met and knocked him down. Picking himself up the Orangeman demanded: “See here, my friend, did you mean to insult me ?” Whereupon the Irishman, for an answer, knocked him down again. “That’ll do,” said he, once more regaining his perpendicular and walking off, “That’ll do: I’m satisfied that you did 1” ’ still in an unsettled state. Rider is one of that class of Northerners that came South to “de velop” it. The Augusta darkeys, are queer creatures. They actually jump into the river when pursued by the police.

Lipscomb, President of the University of Geor gia, LL D. The Constitution, of yesterday, makes the fol lowing centre shot at Bullock, taking as its text Bullock’s lateletter to Scott, chairman of the Ku-klux Committee: The Governor states his “pecuniary interest would have been greatly inoreased had I (he) never consented to participate in the effort to carry out the Congressional polioy of recon struction.’’ If we are to take the tax digest and income as evidence of pecuniary interest, the Governor never had any since he has been South until very recently; for, up to last year, he had never paid any tax, State, county or city, in Georgia, except an execution for doable poll tax and cost. Now he revels in wealth like Croesus. Whence the change ? The Atlanta San, of yesterday, has the fol lowing: A Taliaferro County Hoiuctde—Two Years in the Mountains of North Georgia.—Some time daring the year 1869 Alexander H. Evans killed Jesse Nunn, both then living in Taliafer ro oounty, in tins State. Evans escaped, and was heard of no more. Some time ago, the services of Messrs. Rasbury and Ed. Murphy, professional detectives of this city, were engaged to hunt him up, and on'Monday tho -prisoner was brought to tins city, and lodged in the county jail. He was found up among the mountains in Dawson county, in this State, where he had purchased and fitted np a nice little farm, and had moved his family there.— He had, no donbt, long sinoe- concluded that his detection by the authorities was impossible, and that they had lost sight of him forever, and could remain there without being discovered. He will be carried to Taliaferro county for trial. The Constitution reports the following result of a habeas corpus case tried in Atlanta, Wednes day;. r Habeas Corpus Case.—Yesterday Judge Pitt man, Ordinary of Fplton county, had a habeas corpus case up before him. Anthony Brown, colored, petitioned for the writ, and was repre sented by Messrs. Finley and Robinson, attor neys at law. Anthony was oonvicted at the July term of the District Court of larceny from the house, (stealing a watch from B. Herman) and sentenced to pay a fine of $100 or go to the work gang for twelve months. Judge Law rence discovering that he had no anthorityto sentence Anthony for twelve months the next day, in open Court, corrected the sentence and made it six months'. It was claimed by the petitioner’s attorneys that the sentenoe was illegal and void, and that the Jndge had no power to amend the sen tenoe after recorded on the minutes of the Court. District Attorney Irwin, contended that the writ of habeas corpus did not lie in this case, but that certiorari was the mode; that the Or dinary had no right to reverse the judgment of a court passed in pursuance of the verdict of a jury. ’ . . ~ Judge Pittman dismissed the writ and re manded the prisoner to jaiL The Newnan Defender says the body of a sol dier killed at the battle of Chiokamaoga eight years sinoe, was recently exhumed, and that in addition to its presenting a most life-like ap- pearanoe, the moustache, which was closely shaven at the time of burial, had grown nearly an inch. The Savannah Customhouse Defalcation.— A Courier-Journal’s Washington special, of Monday, says: OolleetorBobb, of Savannah, is now attempt ing to shove the responsibility of the late defal cation in his custom bouse from his own shoul der to those of an ex-colleotor, one James John son. Robb informed the Treasury Department that the loss occurred then, and intimates that it was so well covered np that its discovery was made impossible until now. The Treasury offi cials think this a very strange story. The Philadelphia Age argues the municipal question very pithily, thus: City debt under Democratic administration, $19,000,000; under Badieal administration, $50,000,000; taxation under Democratic rule, $1 50 per hundred; under Radical rule $5 40; 1 facts are worth more than Ku-klux stories. New York, July 20.—At the Irish meeting last night, Mr. Stephen Joseph Meany was the principal speaker. He asked : “ How can we avenge the bU*>d of the men whioh has been shed? How are we to secure proper protection in *hi« country for the men of our race ? Snail Orangemen and Knownothings rule this city 1 Never! never!!” Said the speaker: “Shall the scenes of Wednesday ljttt be permitted again ? Never! never! When be saw the dead on Wednesday his blood curdled In His soul, and he prayed to God that’he would live to.see the day when the aot wonld be avenged.” [Cheers.] “It was hard to see armed ruffians striking down innocent men and women for the crime of looking upon foolish Or angemen.

Washington, July 20.—The following was furnished by a well posted railroadman: The Texa3 Pacific Railroad Company have adopted the three-foot guage, subject to theap- proval of the Secretary of the Interior, who must decide whether that guage is a first-class road. The controUing advocate of this guage is Mr. Thomas A. Scott, on the Pennsylvania Central, who is building that guage on the Den ver and El Passo Road. If the Texas Pacific adopt the three-foot, then all the business from the Pacific coast will naturally branch off at El Passo, across to Denver, and over Scott’s road to the Union Paoifie, whioh road wilI*feoon be in the hands of the Pennsylvania Central. ’ This is a sharp move of the Railroad King, Scott, as it makes him, with the Union Pacifio and Pennsylvania Centra!, independent of the Central Pacific, which, while Hnntington lin^B cannot be absorbed by the- Pennsylvania Central. The move is not likely.to meet with favor in Texas, nor the South generally, as it violently takes away from the line the through business of the Southern Pacific; besides, it is seriously questioned whether a three foot guage is wide enough to economically and con veniently carry the light, bulky cotton freights of the Sooth, and the stock of 'Texas. It is gener ally conceded that the present guage of roads in this oonntry is too wide, but is not the throe foot an extreme the other way ? is asked. CoL Mann, who is building the Mobile and North western Road, advocates a four foot guage for all new roads South, as adapted to the demands of the oonntry, and as combining oheapness in construction and operation. He says light rails and rolling stock can be nsed on that guage as well as on the three foot, and greater room and speed can be secured. Berlin, July 20.—It is officially reported that the Government had received four hundred and nine and a half million franos to the 15th inst., and fifty-two and a half million have been re ceived since.

(prefared for the telegraph and messenger:) In the English House of Lords the Earl of Derby oreated a sensation by denouncing tho purchase system in the army. Though the Earl is known to be a liberal Tory, his peers were astonished to Seel him rise against the time-honored practice of selling all higher places in the army to the- influential and wealthy. How bitter the feeling of the English Republicans is against the privileged classes may be learned from a’ speech Mr. Qgder made at a Republican meeting in New Castle. After having stated that the Houses of Lords and Commons had taken away nearly: all the land which originally was the people’s, he said that they were not content'to have the land only. They claimed the water that washed through the land; they claimed the fish that swain in the water that washed through the land; they claimed the hares and rabbits that ran on the land, and they claimed the birds that flew over the land, and they were not satisfied with these things,' but .they claimed also the minerals that lay under the land; and if they could get at it, and it were of any importance in the shape of wealth,'they' wonld go down to the domain of Beelzebub and would claim all that; and if the old gentleman kept them there; when he got them, England would not be very much worse off. .The fusion of both the Bourbon branches, which was lately reported to have.taken place, is not yet accomplished. They had, it is said, agreed that the childless Count of Chambord should be proclaimed King of France, to be succeeded by the Count of Faria as his heir. To initiate a compromise* the Princes, of the House of Orleans were prevailed upon to pay, in letters addressed to third persons, the Count of Chambord their respects, the latter, however, not receiving a direct line on the part of .the cousins—though these communications were only written for the purpose.of being read for King Henry V,” they highly compromised their authors. They only spoke of “His Majesty," of tho respect they owed him, and even went still further. The Duke, d’Aumale f. L wrote that neither he nor any other member of the family hid the'slightest desire to repeat the events of 1830, events whioh, notwithstanding the superior talents of their fathers, had proved so fatal to the whole family. They all felt, he continued, that nothing lasting could take the place of the traditional dynasty in France. Considering himself, the Duke declared that he wasnot inolinedto accept the presidency of the Republic, even if it were offered to him. The Count of Paris, going still farther, saying that, should his uncle d’Aumale aceopt the office of President of the Republic, he would not set foot on French soil during that time. These indirect homages' being, however, without any practical and substantial results, it was consid- King, xne count or OLombord had never en tered France, and all efforts to induce him to cross the frontier were in vain. Only as the real and acknowledged King he would make his appearance on French soil. Henry, who stayed in Switzerland at the time, proceeded, there fore, to Bruges, Belgium, dose to the French frontier—Ms approachment seeming to give the Orleanists to understand that he was ready to meet them half way. . ■* But in the meantime the Princes had had an opportunity of studying the situation in France, and finding that there was little sympathy for the Legitimists,’ they shrank from taking the final steps to espouse the cause of Henry, the Fifth. And so it happened most fortune- ately. that the approaching delivery of the Countess of Paris claimed their whole attention, but before starting for London, the Duke d’An- male declared openly, that, ou his return, there was nothing to* prevent him from paying the intended .Visit, wMcb, as it were, Bhould pro claim before all people the re-established concord between both branches of the House of France. The cMldbed of the Countess of Paris has taken a normal course; yet Henry, the Fifth, is still waiting for his illustrious viators. It is true there were the elections of the 2d of July, wMoh proved a great obstacle, for the Orleanists were heard to bsv, it ia true in such and such depart ment the electors have Orleanistic, but no Le gitimists sympathies, and if the Princes paid now their contemplated visit, they would run tho risk of seeing good Republicans elected in stead of. their friends. For the present, then, the visit has been postponed until the end of July, when there will probaly be another pre text for farther adjournment. • “ This is the fusion which has been agreed npon without being accomplished, or as the Parisians explain it, La fusion est faite; mats Hie n'est pas accomplie. The Legitimists continue, however, their agi tations in favor of the Count of Chambord. There are medals in circulation bearing on one side his image with the inscription “Henri de France,” on the other two Hly steins with the Latin device' “Spes! Fides!” According to the Journal de Paris the new central committee of the Internationals in Paris is composed of eighteen members, among them one Prussian one Neapolitan and one Russian. Before the late insurrection the. society numbered 55,000 members in Paris, 8000 of whom have been killed and 20,000 imprisoned. The pecuniary loss of the Internationals is estimated at three million francs. But the society is not discour aged, and orders have come from headquarters in London to reorganize the association. A se- oret printing office has been discovered in the room of a servant who was attached to one of the most aristooratio hotels of the Faubourg St. Honore.- . According to the Liberte,; the Government in tends to complete the defences around' Paris. The forts of Yanvres and Issy will be rebuilt on tho heights of Chattillon and Hautes Bruyeres, while tho erection of a new one on the heights of Orgemont is contemplated. Since the Poles in Paris have played so prom inent a part during the Empire of the Commune, their situation in France*is most deplorable. In a recent sitting tho French Ministry, pre sided over by TMers, a resolution was adopted to dismiss, at onoe, all emigrants from the French civil and military service, and to ban ish all Poles who have rendered themselves subject. The French railway companies have already anticipated this measure by dismiss ing all Polish employees from their service. The Polish engineering school at Montparnasse, in Paris, has been closed by order of the Gov ernment,’and the Polish Lyceum, in Batignolles, will share the same fate. The Papal jubilee being over, Rome has as sumed her ordinary appearanoe. As General Bur tola Yiale was not permited to present the congratulations of Victor Emanuel to the Pope in the manner prescribed, the liberal element of Rome arranged a national demonstration by displaying from early morning thousands and thousands of Italian trioolors from all windows and balconies. From the Hotel d’Angleterre there floated a large national banner which the Earl Gainsborough and Hon. Edward Noel, two Englishmen, who had put up there, threw down into the street. This oonduot led to a bitter quarrel with the proprietor who wished to raise the flag again, and the narrow street was now filled with hundreds of inquisitive people, when the Englishmen hailed them with “Viva Pio nono papa-te.” This raised such a perfect storm of rage that the polioe interfered to protect the Englishmen from being mobbed and requested them to leave the city for their own safety. The Pope, wMle receiving a Polish deputa tion, expressed Ms satisfaction at .seeing them in Rome; he had confidence, be said, in the better fature of tho Churches well as of Poland, and he called upon the Polish nation to trust, to persevere, and to pray, because he knew by ex perience that these virtues would conquer all obstacles. The Holy Father presented each member of the deputation with a medaL In Naples the polioe discovered a conspiracy to organize a rising in favor of Franois II, the ex-King of both Sicilies. The Papal jubilee was the cause of a regular fight in the Spanish Cortes. The discussion of a proposition to toward the infallible Pope the congratulations of the Cortes led to suoh angry debates that the monarcMal deputies came to actual blows. In a secret session, held after wards, mutual apologies were made and the ac- oident had no fatal consequenoes. The discus* sion on Cuban affairs also gave rite to a stormy debate. A motion to censure the Government was the signal for savage speeohes and a terrible excitement. The- Ministers, fearing to face a vote, requested the withdrawal of the motioD, and stated that laws made since the home revo lution could not be extended to the colony, nor could slavery be abolished unt il the insurrection was suppressed. The Cortes finally agreed that all efforts should be made to crush the rebellion at onoe. Jabno.

Ejectment from ’Worth. Lochbane, C. J.—Where A leased land to B, who assigned the lease to a third party, and during the term of lease the party in possession purchased the land from the son of A, and A brought suit tor the land in his life time, and after his death the suit progressed in court in the name of his administrator, and upon the trial the tenant set up In defense of the recov ery, his ownership of the land nnder the pur chase, and proved by the declarations of A in Ms life time, that the land belonged to his son, and . the jury found for the plaintiff, and the Court, upon motion, granted a new trial. Held. That the oourt erred ia granting a new trial under the facts in this ease, and that the possession of the tenant under the lease, under the decision in S3 Geo., 168, and by the princi ples of the Code, Bee. 2257, was an estoppel npon the tenant’s repudiating the right of the landlord until Ms surrender of the possession, and of. Ms assignee, who had notice .of his ex istence and his purchase from one of .the heirs at law, was not such a title under the facts in this case as would have authorized a recovery thereon, and the oonrt- ought not to have set aside the verdict and granted a new trial where the verdict was sustained by the. law and the evidence.

J.—Where an indictment was found against a party containing two counts— one for assault with intent to murder, by using a knife, etc., and the aeoond for stabbing—and a motion was made to quash the indictment upon thin ground, wMch the Court overruled, and the case proceeded, and, under the evidence, the jury, by general verdiot, found the prisoner guilty; and a motion in arrest of judgment was made upon the grounds—first, that (here was a misjoinder of coants, and that the prisoner had not been furnished with a copy of the. indict ment or Iistof witnesses, nor hadwaivedthem; and, second, upon the ground the jury found a- general verdict of guilty, wMch motion the Court overruled. Edd, That the Court below committed no error in the judgment pronounced in this case. Under the Code, section 4303, tMs indictment was good, and the Constitution of Georgia, in the declaration of rights, provides for furnish ing the copy and list of witnesses, etc., on de mand of prisoner, and this constitutional. pro vision controls the section of the Code 4241 upon this subject. Judgment affirmed. Sims & Crawford,'J. E. Bower, for plaintiff m error. No appearance for the State. . JLE—And George Johnson vs. the State. Murder, from Baker. Lochbane, O. J.’—The plaintiffs in error were indioted for murder, and convicted, and a mo tion for a new trial was overruled by the Court. Edd, That the practice of trying the compe tency of jurors by the Court, under the law, now is, after the jurorhas satisfactorily answer ed the statutory questions, and is pronounced competent, the party putting such juror upon trial must produce evidence of the untruthful ness of Ms answers, and, after the introduc tion of such testimony, it is within the prov ince of the Court to hear the jorpr.br examine Mm as to Ms explanation in the premises; the object of the law is to procure fair and impar tial jurors, and while the formation or expres sion of an opinion upon mere mmor will not necessarily disqualify a juror, yet the character of the expression, the sources of information and the circumstances nnder which it has been used are'matters for the Court to consider, in ascertaining the existence of bias or prejudice. While we recognize the rule governing the admission of dying declarations as laid down in the Code, section 3728, yet contiguity to death and the fixed opinion of the deceased that he would die, coupled with the fact of his being then dying from compression of the brain, not withstanding the physician’s opinion, constitu ted such a condition as rendered the evidence admissible, snbjeot to the charge of the court, an'd we hold that the character of the deceased for wickedness and Ms disregard of the laws of God, are to be considered by the jury; for though a man may have lost hope in this world, yet if he has no belief ini God, or in divine rev elation, while Ms declarations ara admissible, their weight and consideration is for the jury. Edd again, That the verdiot of murder in tMs case is not sustained by the evidence. Judgment reversed. J. R. LyoD, -Capers, "King. R. F. Lyon, for plaintiff in error. R. H.

Warner, J.—It appears from the reoord in tMs case that Arline sold his land, in 1861, to Hicks for $1,600 00, and took his note therefor, and going to the war, he left the note with his wife, to purchase a homo during his absence, and requested Pullen, a neighbor and relation, to assist her. Pullen sold her a tract of land, and received in payment therefor the Hicks note, and made a deed to the wife instead of her husband. Afterwards Pullen sold his land, .inoluding the land oonveyed to Mrs. Arline, to WMtehead, paomiaing, as Mrs. Ar line states, to purchase for her other land, which he never did. When Pullen sold the imil to WMtehead, Mrs. Arline gave up the deed made to her by Pullen, but executed no conveyance thereof. This deed was subse quently recorded, it is said, through mistake. When Arline returned from the war, he found Pollen had the Hicks not*, and was in posses sion of the land, though professing to have sold it to WMtehead, and to have made Mm a deed therefor.
