MACON, AUGUST 15 1871.
Xiie Presidency of the Mercer Uni
versity*
Now that there is no longer any hope that
Dr. Carry will occupy the position assigned to
him as the head of this Institution, we have ~
suggestion to make to the Board of Trustees,
irhlch we trust will meet with an emphatic en
dorsement.
It is, that the ablo and beloved ex-President,
Rev. H. H. Tucker, D. D., be re-decled to the
office he once adorned with his talents and
piety, and a provisional president be appointed
to discharge its duties during the absence of
the Doctor in Europe.
It is known that all of his plans having been
arranged for this foreign tour, which was under
taken as much for information as amusement,
it would be asking too much of Mm to desire
its abandonment. But surely during the period
which must elapse before the completion of the
buildings, and the thorough organization, of the
University, Dr. Tucker could be spared to pro
secute his travels and researches abroad.
Such men are rarely to bo found; and no
effort should bo spared to induce his return to
this school of learning, which already owes so
much of its success to his exalted worth and
administrative ability.
—We dare venture the assertion that any action
like the above, will receive the careful consider
ation of the Doctor.
United States Boiler Inspection.
It seems that the engineer of the Westfield
Perry Boat was a negro who could not read or
write and whose ignorance of the natural laws
and phenonema affecting his avocation, afford
ed no small sport before the coroner s jury.
But another fact quite as strongly elicited by
the enquiry into ibis catastrophe is the total
insufficiency of the Federal Inspection of steam
boat boilers. It amounts to little or nothing, and
it is in proof that where boilers are submitted to
actunl testa above their certified capacity, the
inspection works harm, by straining and weak
ening them. It seems to us Government in
spection should begin with the boiler iron. All
iron for the construction of boilers to passen
ger steamboats should be tested and stamped.
The law shonld prescribe the thickness, and
tenacity and the mode of building and bracing.
The boiler should be registered and stamped on
its front with tho date of manufacture, and five
yearn thereafter it should cease to be a legal
boiler, for passenger steamers Iwhether it has
been used or not. The boiler should be con
structed for a margin of pressure, not of ten or
twenty, but of two hundred pounds. The car
rier business would in a short time adjust itself
to these requisitions, so that they would not
operate in a burdensome manner, and if rigidly
enforced they would insure absolute safety to
passengers from boiler explosions.
How the Radical Robbers of South
Carolina Fay Their Bets.
The Sub-Kn-klnx Committee who have lately
been visiting South Carolina, while at Colum
bia learned a good deal concerning the doings
of the raiders wht> were recently in session in
that city under the name of the “South Caro
lina Legislature.” Among other things how
they pay their tnrf debts. Moses, Speaker of
the so-called House, of the so-called Legislature,
’ and a negro member of that concern made a
wager of §1,000 as to tho respective merits of
their spans of fast trotters. The race came off
and Mose3 lost, and the next day the negro in
troduced a resolution in tbo House that, where
as, Mr. Speaker Moses had presided faithfully
and with all dno courtesy, etc., therefore, be it
resolved, that the Speaker be paid one thousand
dollars out of. iho oontmgo&i r—j -r cm
The resolution was passed with the general un
derstanding that tho funds were to pay tho lost

Tlie Ames Tragedy.
Wo would invite the special attention of the
members of the legal profession, and the public
generally, to tho forthcoming work compiled by
Messrs. Weston & Combs, of Dawson, compris
ing the evidence, speeches of counsel, and all
other particulars relating to tho celebrated trial
and conviction of John It. Kelly, at the last term
of the Dawson Superior Court.
For the prosecution on the part of the State,
our fellow townsman, S. D. Irvin, Esq., won
golden opinions by his eloquence and skillful
conduct of the case. The defence, too, was
ably managed by Messrs. Wooten, Harper, Mor
gan & Hawkins. The pamphlet will be ready
for delivery by tho 15th instant. Having glanced
over the evidence, and speeches of counsel,
which are deeply interesting, we can cordially
recommend the history of this important trial
to tho reading public. Price seventy-five cents.
A febson who came directly from the home of
ex-Fresident Johnson lately, represents him as
living in quiet retirementin Greenville, Tennes

tablishment, the best in the town, for Iris son-
in-Iow, Mi'. Brown; that he superintends the
workmen; goes twice a day to the depot to see
the incoming travellers, and finishes np the bal
ance of the day in off-hand conversations with
tho loungers of the town in front of his door;
that ho is going to Europe this fall, and will
there remain for about two years.
The Washington Patriot says that “ all im
portant papers requiring tho signature of the
President must be sent to Long Branch by a
special messenger, who is allowed ten cents
mileage each way for going and returning,
hotel bills and other expenses. It is estimated
that every time the President signs his name
by the seashore to a commission, order, bigamy
pardon or other paper, it costs the tax-payera
about seventy-five or ahundred dollars, according
to the allowance which maybe made to the
messenger.”

coolie indentures meets the two requisites of
liberty and labor.

Colonizing the South—A Tale or Woe.
Oar pity is moved by a tale of woe from the
Old North State in the New York Tribune of
last Saturday. About six months ago the first of
a grand series of Communist experiments in the
South was organized in the city of New York.
A joint stock company was formed by colonists
who snbscribed to shares of $110 each, for the
purchase of 1500 acres of land on French Broad
River, in Madison oonnty, North Carolina, the
most of it fine bottom land—embracing illimit
able water power, and including a large brick
hotel and fine mineral springs, which had been
a popular summer resort.
They paid or contracted to pay for this prop
erty $70,000, and spent $7,000 additional for
farming stock and tools. Of the total sum,
$20,000 were paid down and payment of the
remainder stipulated at the end of the year.
On this schedule fifty colonists moved out from
New York in early spring and took quarters in
the hotel, to work the place on the co-operation
principle.
Of course, the reader will not doubt that the
Tarheels living in the neighborhood of French
Broad Eiver, stood amazed at the prowess and
agricultural skill of these live Northern brith-
ren—that the very earth trembled under the
shock of deep plowing—that the sturdy colonists
worked early and late, often and all the time—
that the crops sprang np as If by magic, and
this co-operative farm shone amid the surround
ing poverty, indolence and ignorance like a gem
of the desert.
Alas, no: says the Tribune correspondent:
The colonists began the work of •cultivating
the farm, and commenced to build an expensive
stone dam across the creek, instead of a cheap
wooden one which would have done just as well
for five years to come. Some worked industri
ously, bnt others found it more agreeable to sit
on the hotel piazza, drink the waters, and play
croquet on the lawn, than to plow, dig,- and ent
stone, and as all were masters, no one was com
pelled to work.
This kind of management brought no meat
to the pot, bnt it did bring affairs to a focus.
The correspondent, writing July 23d, says:
“Night before last the important question was
how to get food for breakfast, which was settled
by a resolution that those who had money
shonld pay a certain sum per week to pay for
food for themselves and for those who had no
means.” But the writer doubted whether “res
olutions” would do to rely on in the way of a
steady commissariat.
Meantime, they had made more unpleasant
discoveries in the financial department. Of
the $20,000 actually paid, $17,000 had been
borrowed and a second mortgage of $22,000
given for it. The Association fonnd itself $83,-
000 in debt on a six months’ purchase of prop
erty costing but $77,000, and without money
or food in the midst of the harvest season. All
was indignation and confusion, and the colo-
nists were consuming their time in “holding
indignation meetings” and “appointing com
mittees.” The case was hopeless, and the col
ony was breaking np and going home. And
yet, according to the writer, they had a delight
ful climate—a very fruitful soil—unlimited
water power—abundant timber—easy accessi
bility to market—in short, all the resources of
comfort and wealth around them, bnt the vol
untary labor system left the choice of work
or play, and most of them chose to play.
Men and Women.
Part of an article in the Independent from
the pen of Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps is go
ing the rounds of tho papers, showing why wo
men do not keep pace with men in the race of
mental development. They start on the same
plane and travel together in childhood, bnt the
nascent belle is soon left behind in a wilderness
of ribbons, laces, cutis, flounces, false hair,
etc., and the masculine scholar passes her out
of sight. Mrs. Phelps tells of 147 cnrls on a
single head dressed for a ball, and 425 vanfa
trimming on a single dress.
All this is merely saying that man and woman
differ in their mental constitutions. The latter
is far more aesthetical—has far greater tender
ness and warmth of affection—and literally lives
in the atmosphere of admiration and love with
which she surrounds herself. These strong
points of the sex, with which a benevolent God
has endowed her, in order that homes may be
attractive, delightful, softening and refining to
the mder sex, are, it is true, often perverted and
misdirected; bnt so is everything else in this
world of sin and error. But, perhaps, even
better the excesses of fashionable folly than the
Gradgrind philosophy of the strong-minded,
which aims at the extinction of these mental
peculiarities by forcing the girl into all the
training, studies and pursuits alone befitting
the sterner, rougher, more independent and less
sympathetic nature of the boy.
Whatsort of a world would these strong-minded
make if they could have their way ? These mis
called philosophers, in their vain imaginations,
ignore the general directing Providence of God.
Seeing a depraved world full of wrong and vio
lence, they trace all its disorders to social mis
construction, instead of assuming, as others do,
that these outcroppings of sin come in spite of
natural and proper social order; and notwith
standing the wickedness of man, God has never
abdicated the general government and direction
of human affairs. They are going to core all
wrong by their patent nostrum of a social and
political re-organization, which shall abjure all
distinctions on account of color, race, sex, age,
virtue and vice, ignorance and learning. Bnt
it is not too much to say that all the social dis
tinctions, sueh as those of color and sex which
are heaven-ordained and immutable, must be
respected by hnman governments, or tho latter
will only expose their folly, impotence and
wickedness at last.
THE POISONING MANIA.
The Story of an Old Man Who Married a
Tonng Wife.
The Colnmbns (Ohio) Statesman is authority
for the following story:
“About eight years ago Peter Poffenbarger,
residence in Madison county, Ohio, aged eighty
years, possessed of a large property, estimated
at $750,000, married a young woman of attrac
tive appearance. Fonr years aftewards he died,
leaving nearly all his estate to his widow, and
the residue to hex in trust for the use of two
children, who had been bom daring the union.
The widow soon married a young man who
was represented as a reporter on a New York pa
per, converted her property into money, andre-
moved to New York Here her husband engag.
ed in business as a banker. Two months ago
the neighbors of old Mr. Poffenbarger, who
profess to have always suspected foul play in
the manner of his taking off, caused the body
to bo exhumed, and the viscera forwarded
to Columbus, Ohio, for analysis. The seo-
ond husband, according to the Statesman,
appeared on the scene and attempted to
stop this operation by threats of legal proceed
ings. Tho analysis was, however, proceeded
with, and on Friday lost Dr. T. G. Wormley,
of Colnmbns, who had conducted it, made a re
port to the legal authorities of Madison connty,
-to tho effect that ho had found “large quantities
of arsenic in the stomach, and traces of the
same in the liver.” Upon this report a requi
sition was procured from the Governor of Ohio
for the arrest of tho former Mrs. Poffenbarger
in New York, bnt from a delay of two or three
day3 in dispatching an officer to execute it, ap
prehension is expressed in the Ohio paper that
the accused may have fled the country.
The reporter referred to is Bicbard T. Col
burn, a war correspondent of the New York
World, and now confidential clerk to Fisk &
Hatch, bankers, New York city. Colburn was
an intimate associate of Bichardson, the free-
lover whom McFarland so righteously slew, and
may have imbibed some of that worthy’s peon-
liar notions about other men’s wives. He is
out in a card, however, indignantly- denying
all these charges against his wife.
Editorial Correspondence.
Cuthbebt, August 8, 1871.
TTTE MEWS TBOM SOUTHWEST GEORGIA.
Fifteen days have been numbered with the
irreclaimable past, since oar last report of the
crop situation in this great cotton centre of
Georgia. At that period the ont look was
favorable, and planters fondly hoped that forc
ing seasons might counterbalance the evil ef
fects of an nnpropitious spring.' But, alas!
continuous drought and burning suns, have
done their work .effectually.
In no event can the crop of Southwest
Georgia "exceed one-half of the yield of the past
year. Bagged and defective in stand, the dim
inutive weed has been checked in its growth by
dry weather, and blossoming np to the very top
now threatens to part with its present fruitage
and pnt on a new growth when the rains set in.
From the new wood or fibre thus produced no
good ean result, as it is too late for any fruit
that may appear to mature, before the autnm-
nal frosts. On the red lands a large part of the
crop has already shedded off, and the rows
are strewed with embryo bolls and blighted
squares.
Corn planted late is almost an niter failure,
and the yield of this important grain will fall
far short of the estimates made a month
since.
Within the past forty-eight hours, Eufaula,
Dawson, Smithville and other points have been
visited with refreshing rains, very partial, how
ever, is extent, while about Cuthbert and in
other places some weeks have elapsed since
what is termed a season has been enjoyed.
ANDREW FEMALE COLLEGE.
Thin popular institution has again been fully
reorganized by the election on the 4th instant,
of Bev. John.B. HoGfihee as President, and J.
N. Scaif, Esq., of Dawson, to a professorship.
Mr. McGehee is widely known as a gentleman
of piety, learning, and energy. In hi3 hands
old Andrew will take a new departure in the
road to eminence and usefnlness. Mr. Scaif is
reputed to be a ripe scholar and experienced
teacher. •
KIMBALL CTJBBENCY.
We are pleased to state that when any con
siderable amount of these “promises to pay” is
presented to Messrs. Tomlin & Atkinson, of
Cuthbert, for redemption, New York Exohange,
or a oheck on Atlanta is given in payment. This
is all right as far as it goes; bnt does not meet
the wants of the farmer or poor laborer. The
first object we saw upon reaching Cuthbert was
a disconsolate female going the rounds of the
crowd with a two dollar Kimball bill, trying to
get greenbacks for it, that she might leave on
the cars. And the poor creature failed to get
accommodated. If these bills are issued in good
faith, how short-sighted that polioy which does
not place deposits of U. S. currency with the
railroad agent, and in the hands of agents at
Cuthbert, who shall be instructed to redeem the
same when desired upon presentation, whether
in large or small sums. This would at once
seenre the confidence of the holders of this
money, (so-called) and prevent a run upon the
issuers. We do not wish to be understood, how
ever, as endorsing the utterance of these bills,
which we regard as illegal, nnnecessary, and in
violation of the rights of contractors and labo
rers.
MACON AND BRUNSWICK RAILROAD MONEY.
We were pained to learn that misinformed or
mischievous persons have circulated that this
currency does not pass in Macon, and attempts
have been made to buy it np at a ruinous dis
count in Cuthbert. This doubtless grew
out of the inability of the company to redeem
a large sum presented by the Central Bailroad
officials, during the absence of President Hazle-
hurst. While opposed to the issue of these or
any other bills, in contravention of law, and to
the detriment of the National currency, and sin-
nftvnlw nnvinna In tioi-o them retired at th« -—
liest day practicable, still, we would state em
phatically that Macon and Branswlck Bailroad
money does pass current in the retail trade with
the merchants of Macon, and we believe will be
ultimately redeemed to the last dollar.
SNAKE EEC—BAXXBBEDGE, CUTHBERT AND COLUM
BUS RAILROAD.
9n the train we observed a poor fellow
stretched nppn his back, with one foot terribly
swollen, and, upon inquiry, learned from him
that while engaged in the building of a culvert,
ten miles from Cuthbert, he was bitten in bed
by a venomous little serpent known as the
ground rattle. Tins is abont all the unfortun
ate man can recall, as he was immediately plied
with potations of whisky, until the pine trees
danced np-side down, and snake and everything
else were forgotten. All that-he can remember
certainly, is that ho was gloriously drank, and
has been suffering ever since with a swelled
leg.
The d9pot at Cnthbert is crowded with wheel
barrows and commissary stores, designed for
the laborers on the north end of the Bainbridge
Cnthbert and Colnmbns Bailroad. Everything
seems to point to the speedy letting ont and
completion of this under taking.
BEV. MB, CAMPBELL.
This gentleman is the suocessor of that emi
nently good and able pastor of the Baptist
church, Mr. Daniel. His sermon on Sabbath,
delivered without notes, displayed mnoh thought
and fervor, and he will, doubtless, give general
satisfaction to his charge. *■
Next Saturday the people of Cnthbert will be
called npon to vote npon the qnestion of ap
propriating, throngh the Town Council, $5,000
to seenre the location of the Methodist District
Male School in this oity. Americas and Daw
son are each actively engaged in similar efforts.
It is cheering thus to note the progress of ed
ucation and her handmaids, morality and reli
gion, throughout the borders of ournoble'State.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Biot in Eatonton.—Vie have the following
from a well-known and reliable gentioman of
this city, now on a visit to Eatonton: He has
our thanks for tho same:
Eatonton, Ga., August 8,1871. .*
Editors Telegraph, and Messenger : The elec
tion for connty offioers commenced hero about
8 o’clock tins morning. Everything went on
quietly for some time, the negroes crowding the
polls and adjacent grounds as usngl. They
seemed to have everything their own way, when
at last a dispute arose between a negro and a
white man, and each drew weapons of defence;
bnt before any harm was done, another negro
drew a pistol to take sides with negro No. 1.
At this juncture on officer of the town arrested
negro No. *2, and made off with him to jail. To
this a crowd of negroes objected, and attempted
to rescue the prisoner 'from the officer. Of
course they were resisted, and then began what
seemed at one time to bo a riot of the first
water. The negroes formed inline, and they
say opened the firing first, andthon a general
and indiscriminate shooting commenced. One
white man got a slight ent in the neck, and two”
negroes got shot. The affair wound np by most
of the negroes beating a hasty retreat'from the
town. After a few hours order was restored and
the voting commenced. I heard several gentle
men tell tho colored men to go and vote, it
mattered not how, so they behaved themselves
and kept quiet. Dr. James A. Etheridge is the
Democratic candidate—a Christian gentleman
'and a man of culture. ***

Eatonton shipped 8,133 bales of cotton from
1st September last, to present date.
■The Sandersville Georgian says:
It is generally conceded by business men in
this community that the scarcity of money the
present summer has never before been equal
ed. Nothing, In the way of profit, was realized
from the crop of last year, and being depend
ant entirely npon agricultural resources, the
times have been extraordinary hard. The fu
ture however presents many hopeful features.
More tTinn ordinary economy has been exer
cised by all classes. But little, if any money
has been drawn npon the present crop; people
are less in debt tobanks and commission houses,
and what they owe is principally at home. _A
reasonable price for cotton with a fair grain
and provision crop, will bring the country all
right.

News, of Tuesday:
A Man Aebested and Brought to the City
on a Chabge op Passing Counterfeit Cubben-
cy—More Suspected.—Martin N. Kirby, a citi
zen of Lowndes connty, was arrested on the
affidavit of a party charging him with passing
counterfeit United States securities of the des
cription of National Bank notes of various de
nominations. Kirby was arrested upon a war
rant issued by the United States Commissioner
Henry C. Wayne, and brought to the city. The
case will be investigated as soon as the witnesses
can be obtained.
There are several other parties in Southwest
Georgia who are suspected of the crime of
passing counterfeit money, and whose arrest is
contemplated in a short time. These have been
informed against by a party who was arrested
some time since and held npon sufficient evi
dence being adduced to satisfy the examining
court of his guilt, or complicity, in the charge
against him, viz: circulating counterfeit money.
Supposed Bobbery.—A gentleman well known
in the city, is said to have been robbed on Sat
urday night of abont six thousand five hundred
dollars. He had sold a piece of property on
Saturday, and received the above amount in
part payment, putting the money in his pocket
until he conld place it safely away. On rising
from his bed on Sunday morning and examin
ing his pockets, he discovered that his money,
amounting to six thousand five hundred dollars,
was gone. He cannot account for his loss, ex
cept that some pick-pocket robbed him.
A fire in Weiland’s fruit store, corner of
Whitaker street and Bay lane, Savannah, Tnes
day morning, caused a loss of $600 whioh
however, is fully covered by insurance.
The Savannah Advertiser, of Tuesday, gives
the following details of the negro riot down
there mentioned in onr dispatches of that date
OUTBAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A COLOBED PlO-NlO
Pabty.—The Colored Butchers’ Benevolent As
sociation gave a pio-nio at White Bluff yester
day, which was largely attended by the colored
fraternity of both sexes, the major portion of
the males in attendance being drunk, and- as
their notions will show, were guilty of the most
violent condnct. After arriving at White Bluff
mo pic-mcsero r.~ r i-J a largo
number of them, provided with cards, passing
away the time in gambling and carousing. In
the afternoon, a short time before the train left,
some fifteen or twenty negroes, who were gamb
ling at a Mr. Bnrke’s, fell into a difficulty, when
Jacob Kaiser, a white butcher, who was present,
managing to mix himself in the quarrel, was
set npon by the entire party of negroes, and
compelled to use his revolver. The ball took
effect in the left shoulder of one of the ring
leaders, named Jim Adams. Kaiser, after shoot
ing Adams, who, though painfully, is not seri
ously injured, was compelled to make his escape
from the crowd by running into the house of a
white person at the blnff. After leaving White
Blnif the majority of the negroes, being drank,
kept up the wildest excitement and uproarons
conduct until arriving at Sand Fiy Station,
where a fight ensued, in whioh Jack Thompson,
a negro, was cut with a knife, bnt not danger
ously.
Daring the progress of tho difficulty, the con
testants rushed into and throngh the passenger
cars, alarming females to a terrible extent, and
so great were the fears of the latter that they
accompanied the train to the Isle of Hope rath
er than remain at tho station until its return.
We omitted to state above that Mr. George Al
len, the conduotor, after locking hi3 coat in a
room in one of the cars, leaving it to attend to
some duties about the train, had his garment
with nine dollars, which were in one of the
pockets, stolon by some of the party who enter
ed the room by the window.
On the retom of the Isle of Hope train to
Sand Fly Station, the waiting cars were made
ready and coupled several times, bnt as often
as the coupling pin was used it would be taken
ont by the negroes, until it was finally broken,
when tho locomotive started off with the passen
ger cars'and several of the box cars containing
the pic-nickers. Two of the latter, however, with
their crowded excursionists, were left behind.
The train arrived at a quarter past eight o’clock
last evening, and there were some signs of a
drunken row or two, but the presence of a
strong police force kept everything quiet.
We mid the following in the Monroe Adver
tiser of yesterday,
Fire.—We regret to learn of the destruction,
by fire, of the dwelling house of Mr. Wm.
Walker, of this connty. Hi3 loss was heavy, as
the building, with all its contents, including the
apparel of the family, were destroyed.
Sale Day.—Sale day, last week, was one of
the dullest ever experienced in Forsyth. Neither
the sheriff, “or any other man," had anything
to offer, and the absenoe of the usual crowd
gave strong evidence that the ancient glory of
“sale day” is one of the things that were.
Sickness.—We regret to Ieam of the preva
lence of fever in the oonnty to a greater extent
than usual. Mr. David Ogletree is now laying
very low, and we hear of other cases. Messrs.
B. H. Zeliner and W. B. Meek have been suf
ferers, but axe now convalescent.
Negro Bov.—On Sunday last a noisy and
disgraceful row oooorred at the negro meeting
house near Tabernacle church. It originated
between some boys in a quarrel over some
watermelons, and grew in magnitude until the
whole of the large crowd present became en
gaged. Services were suspended and knives,
pistols and .clubs drawn and for some time a
general sorimmage seemed to be inevitable, bnt
fortunately nothing worse than Bhouting,
threatenings and cursings resulted.

The Atlanta Constitution tells ns something
abont Jim Bine, the negro representative eleot,
from Glynn connty. It says: -
About a month after Jim was elected he met
with a wag and said to him, “ see here, Mam
John, how’s this ? Ise been ’looted a month
and hasn’t got a cent. Ain’t I titled to $8 per
day?” John replied in the affirmative. Jim
next enquired how he was to proceed to get it*
The wag politely made out the bill for him for
thirty days at $8 per day and Instructed
him to present It to the Ordinary (a Badical)'
who would pay it- The Ordinary grew very
angry, and Jim retreated before the Ordinary's
up-raised foot. Jim thinks yet the Ordinary
ought to pay him.

Louisville, August 8.—The Democrats carry
the State by about 80,000 majority. All the
Democratic candidates for the Legislature are
elected.
Dublin, August 8.—The royal visitors have
left Dublin. Not a cheer was heard from the
lined streets through which they passed. The
silence was only broken by a few hisses. The
conduct of the police at Phoenix Park, which is
denounced as inexcusably brutal, embittered the
people.
Washington, August 8,—Last night Grant
sent his private secretary to Pleasanton, re
questing his resignation. Pleasanton declined
to resign ; whereupon the President determined
to suspend him and appoint Douglas. The mat

London, August 8.—A dispatch from Dublin
says the city is qniet, bnt the excitement of the
populace has'not subsided. It is generally
thought that the sympathizers with the Fenian
prisoners will not give np the idea of holding
another meeting in spite of the prohibition by
the authorities. The sentiment of the majority
of the people is in favor of granting amnesty
to all the Fenian prisoners, but violent opposi
tion to the authorities is deprecated. The be
lief was that the royal visit will be made an op
portunity by the Government for the release of
tho imprisoned Fenians. The populaoe are
very bitter against the Prince of Wales because
he has not interceded for amnesty. The whole
police force is still on the alert, and the military
consigned to the barracks in order to be ready
if called npon to aid the police. Thus far no
deaths are reported, bnt it is thought from five
to ten prisoners will die of injuries. Hone, the
Superintendent of the Polioe, is in a critical
condition, bnt hopes axe entertained for his re
oovery. It is yet uncertain whether the Gov

other leaders of the demonstration.

mitted by the rebels in that province, and sev
eral forests have been burned.
The court martial for the trial of the Com-

North German Lloyd’s Company requiring one

The immediate causes assigned fox Pleasan
ton’s removal in official circles are that the rev
enue was not collected with efficiency; rever
sal rulings of his predecessors, and making de
cisions, the effect of which was to needlessly
lessen the revenue, and acting on important
matters without consulting Bontwell, wherein
Bontwell had paramount authority. Pleasan
ton’s letter concludes: “In jostice to the pub
lic interests placed under my charge, and the
importance to the tax-payers of a proper solu
tion of these difficulties, I must respectfully
deoline to tender you my resignation, and trust
ing it may be deemed inappropriate, I will
again request that your present determination
may be reconsidered, and an investigation of
the matter of difference between the Secretary
and myself, be referred to the Attorney-General
for his legal opinion. With great respect,

Tbeasuby Department, )
Office of Commissioner of Int. Bzvenue, >•
Washington, August 8,1871. )
To the President:
In answer to your request, transmitted
throngh Gen. EL last evening, that I should
tender my resignation of the offioe of Commis
sioner of Internal Bevenne, I can only reply
that under ordinary circumstances, nothing
would give me greater pleasure than to accede
to any request yon might make of this kind;
bnt the cause for making this request was stated
by Gen. Porter to be the difference existing be
tween the Seoretary o‘f the Treasury, Mr. Bont
well, and myself, as regards the government and
management of the Internal Bevenqe Bureau.
Mr. Bontwell olaims powers which, under the
laws of CongressgoverningthatBnrean, are vest
ed solely in the Commissioner. The qnestion is,
therefore, purely a legal one, and the precedents
of onr government have been to have such
questions, when appealed to the President, re
ferred to the law offioer of the Government for
his opinion, and npon which the President
would base his decision. This course was pur
sued by Presidents Jackson, Tyler, Pierce, Van
Boren, Fillmore and others, and has been
the uniform practice of the Government.
Knowing these facts and believing them to be
the proper way to settle any difference of view,
as regards the law, whioh might exist between
the Secretary and the Commissioner, I
addressed you a communication some time
since, making an appeal for your de
cision of the powers of the Commissioner
nnder the act of Jnly 20th, 1868. - This appeal,
as I understand it, is not to be entertained, bnt
the snbjeet is to be treated rather as a personal
difference between the Secretary and myself.
In this connection it is proper to add that the
personal conduct of the Secretary, has been
such as to preclude the tender of my resigna
tion, until some opportunity is granted for vin
dicating my administration of the Internal
Bevenne Bureau. A. Pleasanton.

Ferre, one of the aconsed, attempted to
mako a speeoh in defence of the Commune, bnt
he was not permitted to prooeed. He denied
that he had ordered the burning of the Falaoe
Ministry of Finance. Several witnesses swore
Ferre personally forbade the release of prison
ers in the Protective while It was burning.
Ferre and Asse were both insolent in speech

by the court. The oourt-room was crowded
with Bpeotators.

also exhibits a list of eight or ten steamers
whioh, at various times, were refused certificates
by him, bnt received them from Mathews. He
asserts that the latter was actuated by interested
motives. Incidentally, also, his statements
tend to show that great demoralization exists in
the inspection service. Inspector Mathews was
re-examined, and he admitted that when in
spectors have a great deal of work, they author
ize a clerk to make ont certificates and sign the
Inspector’s name. Inspectors do not get inside
of boilers to test them.

New Obleans, August 9.—At an early hour
this morning large crowds of whites and blacks
assembled around the Custom-house bnilding,
where the Bepublican Convention convened. At
about 9 o’clock two companies of the 19th U.
S. infantry, with two Gattlin guns, under com
mand of Capt Smith, arrived. The troops
marohed in and stacked arms in the hall at the
head of the steps, on the Canal street entrance.
A large number of deputy U. S. Marshals
olosely guarded every entrance to the Castom-
house. No one was permitted to enter without
ticket from Marshal Packard.
At half-past ten, Governor Warmonth, ac
companied by Gen. Campbell, Senator Pinch
beck, and about eighty followers, some with
and some without tickets, entered the building,
and endeavored to pass throngh the hall; bnt
were stopped by the Deputy Marshal, and in
formed that no one would be permitted to pass
until the hour for the opening of the conven
tion. Warmonth expressed indignation. He
mounted a chair and said: “Having been re
fused admittance to the hall designated by the'
] Central Committee for holding the convention,
* I propose th*t we now adjourn to Tuner’s Hall

We see that Messrs. Norton, Slaughter
Company, of New York, have finally seli 1
this problem, so that there need be no m
talk about it. In their last circular they;
with no “serious disaster to the growing e

average crop of 4,250,000 to 3,500,000 bale;
not only probable bnt' quite certain. It map

bnt even at the minimum, with largo snppa

by the spinners, both in this country and.
Europe, a cotton famine is impossible, and i
extreme prices to be apprehended.”
And, again, farther on they say:
The labor capacity of the South is eqnal:
over 4,000,000 bales, as the last crop fully?
tests; and we are assured by intelligent plants
and merchants in several seotions of the Son:
that as much cotton mil be raised as «■{
gathered, and that the negroes everywhere j
