Marshall & Johnson was very large last evening, maDy of whom were politicians of both parties, anxious to put out their money on the coming elections. On tho State ticket the betting is close, the Democratic candidates having a slight call over their oppo nents, while for tho Registryship of this city Shandley is backed at long odds over Sigel. In tho race for Sanatoria! honors in the Seventh District the betting on Bradley and O’Brien is almost at even figures—the following being an average of the pools sold • last evening: Secre tary of State—Diedrick Willers, Jr., $100, $100, $100; G.

Chicago, November 4.—Governor Palmer, after alludiDg to the circumstances preceding the death of Grosvenor, concludes: “ I think yon will percieve it is now the duty of the Gov ernor and Attorney General, and all other offi cers, to see that the laws are enforced against all parties concerned in these illegal and dan gerous aots. It is not necessary, in determin ing upon tho line of duty to be adopted, to in quire whether the Mayor of Chicago, Lieuten ant General Sheridan, and Frank T. Sherman and his associates and supposed subordinates, who wore agents by which the death of Thomas Grosvenor was produced in assuming the pow ers they did not possess and which cannot be conferred upon them, were influenced by proper or improper motives or purposes; they assumed to suspend the opCouuIi Cl tne an ^ laws of the State, and substitute in their stead laws and military force to be defined and applied by themselves. They, by their law less acts, attacked and insulted tho dig nity and authority of tho State, and havo by their dangerous example weakened tho pnb- lio confidence in the constitution and laws, and in their attempt to enforce usurped and lawless authority they havo sacrificed the life of a peaceable citizen. Animated by tho confidence I have thus expressed, and confident in the be lief that the State of Illinois, acting through the proper departments of its government, is capable of protecting its own people, and of en forcing the dignity and authority of its own laws, I have to request that yon, in conjunction with the State’s Attorney of tho seventh cir cnit, will bring all the facts before tho Grand Jury of Cook connty in order that all persons concerned in the unlawful killing of Thomas W. Gronvenor maybe brought to a speedy trial.” Boston, November 4.—Races at Mystio Park thi3 afternoon: First was hnrdlo race of two miles over 8 hurdles, for all ages and purse of $700, won by Astronomer.

A compro mise between Sagosta and Zorilla, which has up to this time, been discussed and looked for ward to among conservative Republicans iB now thought impossible. The agitation threat ened by the Internationals is snra to produce a complete rupture. Sale of tlie Empress Eugenie’s Per sonal Effects. Paris (October 7) Correspondence of the London Daily Xetrs-] In passing by the newgallorios of tho Louvre, facing the quay, I heard tho tinkle of a bell, and the voice of a cryer inviting the public to come in and buy what remained to be sold of the Em press Eugenie’s personal effects. Accepting the invitation, I entered the court, standing in tho midst of the imperial stables. Another bell-ringer wa3 at the door of the menage where M. Bnchon used to give the prince '‘mperial riding lessons. It is a long-vanlted amber, with a sanded floor. Its even temperatnre was the reason why it was chosen for the eques trian practice of the boy whom prefets were bound to designate at public banquets “the hope of France.” Though all the steed have long since disappeared from the Louvre stables, a faint smell of horse-litter floated through the air. The menage was last used by Jules Ferry and Rochefort, who were accustomed to take riding lessons in it daring the siege. . Bnt on tho occasion to which I now particu larly refer, it was occnpied by old clothes sellers of both sexes, curiosity dealers, a few friends of the fallen dynasty whose faces I had often seen grouped around the throne of Salle des Etats, some dirty stndents, a reporter of the Qaulois, attracted, like myself, by the noise of the bell, and a sprinkling of those antiquated gentlemen in white gaiters, who pass their lives in hovering abont the book stands on the para pet of the Quay Voltaire, and crossing and re- crossing the Pouts des Arts. The auctioneer was a self-sufficient sort of commonplace bur- geois. He did his best to be be jocular at the expense of fallen greatness. In liquidating the imperial effects he was assisted by an old clerk, two men wearing threadbare imperial liveries, and a strong*voiced vainer, who, contrary to the traditions of Paris auctioneers, puffed the wares he wanted to vend. To some he attempted to give a historical value. Each article, he seemed to think, was worth its weight in gold, if only os a relic. The drosses,laces, shawls and mantles had been disposed of on a previons day, and it wa3 now tho turn of the underclothing t.nd “in timate house linen” to be liquidated. Pillow cases of fine cambric—so fine that one wonders how thoy supported the elaborate embroideries and deep real lace borders—were hotly con tested for by a “ petite dame," a shabby Jew of the me des Victories and a-party of buyers belonging, I should say, to the Qnartier Breda. The little lady carried off a dozen. It “poses” one, she cried, tittering as she spoke,-to press the pillow on which an imporial head reposed. The cypher E happened to stand for her name, which she volnnteered to tell one of the old friends of tho fallen dynasty was Enlalie. As for the crown nnder it, mafoi, she was just as worthy to wear it as any one else. Tho old friend was not loth to cultivato the acquaint ance of tho sparkling fair one. He assented to this proposition, and volnnteered to hold % pil low-case which the auctioneer had allowed her to take. .Tho toweling was endless. Bundle after bundle of fine Saxony napkins, all with the E, the crown, tho Eaglo, thoTmsy Oarlovin- gian bee, and a profusion of laurel wreaths, were handed round the vaulted rooms to be exam ined by the biddors and then disposed of. 'Some breakfast tablo napery, the present of a king, now Emperor William’s first feudatory, was bought by one of tho former hali'ues of the Salle des Etats. He got it cheap. One of the old gentlemen, who happened to be deaf, was furious when he fonnd that ho might have had the lot at 130 francs. I do not know why the brokers and students were so jocose when an inside garment was held np by two dainty little sleeves, and the pnblic asked to examine it as a fair specimen of the largo bale from which it was drawn at hazard. American modesty can not bring itself to name this garment any more than it can to speak of a shirt. If Paul do Cas- sagnao were as good as his oft-repeated oath, he would have run his sword-cane through the profane auctioneer’s showman who held the ar ticle in question np to be scoffed at by the males and admired by the women. There were peigniors and dressing gowns, clearly famished by Chapon, tbo famous ladies’ out-fitter in the Rue de la Paix, and all wonderfully elegant, bnt dusty and somewhat blue-moulded. The stock ings of thread, silk and Shetland wool, were of gossamer lightness. An infinity of bath and toilet sponges were knocked down at a hundred francs. They were all of tho best quality. The little lady said she would have been the purchaser if the auctioneer had guaranteed that he was selling her something that had actually passed through the empress’ hands. As for the boots and slippers, they jus tified the enlogiums passed by MM. Franc and Lockrey in their report on Parisian shoemakers. Then there wero, the ladies thought, delicious things in tho way of petticoats, flannel bustles, robes de chambro, sorties de bain, and woolen wraos. Some baby’s robes, which, according to the salesman’s legend, belonging to the prince imperial’s layette, wero bought by a Russian lady. A snuffy purchaser near me shook her head incredulously at those belongings of im perial infancy. They wero sumptuously got np, she admitted, bnt nothing would convince her that they did not belong to some distressed bourgeoises layette, and wore not palmed off by tho auctioneer to enhance their price, 03 having been worn by the prince, at whose birth, 17 years ago, official Franoe went into the most ex cessive demonstrations of delight that ever hailed the advent of a royal child on oar planet. Macon, October 28, 1871. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: In the test of cotton gins for the premium at the Fair of the Georgia State Agrienltnral Society for 1871, at Macon, Ga., the Winship Gin and the Massey Gin beat the Hall Gin and Feeder in time andin the amount of cotton ginned seventy- six per cent. That is: the Hall Gin-ginned six pounds of seed cotton, to the saw, in twenty- three minutes and forty seconds; the Winship Gin did the same amount in thirteen minutes and twenty-seven seconds, and the Massey Gin the same amount in fourteen minutes and fifty- fonr seconds. All of the above gins did their work well, tha difference, if any, in sample and turnout,being not sufficient to be noticed. Every gin on the ground beat the Hall Gin in time,from twenty-five to seventy-five per oenb, yet the preminmwas awarded to the Hall Gin. After the test trial was over, Mr. Hall was heard to say that the Hall Gin was not running against time, bnt was running to clean seed. All the other gin makers supposed they jrere running against time, or, at least, that time wonld be taken fully into account in deciding the merits of the gins, and they were confirmed in the sup position, not only by all precedent test trials of cotton giDS in Georgia, bnt also by the faot that the judges held the watohon each gin during the test. Spectators know that other gins on the ground did gin the seed as clean and made as good cotton. The other gin-makers assert that had they known or supposed that time was not to be considered in the test, they could have adjusted their gins (as Mr. Hall did) at a mo ment’s notice, to pick the seed even cleaner his, at a slight expense of time, and yet made a good deal better time than the Hall gin did. Reviewing all these facts, the question natu- ralH arises: Upon what points of merit was the premium awarded? Could Mr. Hall have as certained in any way that rapidity of work wonld not be taken into aeconnt in the test? If not, why has his gin always ginned fifty per cent, faster at all fairs where exhibited than it did in this inatanoe ? . If time was not to be taken into the account for what it was worth, why time the gins at all ? If time was to be taken and considered, then the Hall gin was not entitled to the premium on the results of this test. The gin-makers should know, at fairs, what constitutes “the beBt cotton gin.” Very re spectfully, Justice. L. J. GUILMABTIX. JOHN FLANNERY Is. J. GUILDSART2N & CO., Genera!

UNITED STATES OUBBENOX—LOANS. Per month 1M@2& per cent $300,000—Recovery of the Will of a Confederate General. “Old Vibginny Never Tibe.”—Tho Balti more Sun’s Washington correspondent, nnder date of Wednesday, telegraphs thatleading Vir ginia (?) Radicals there in that city, admit that the Democrats will carry the election in that State on Tuesday next by a large majority. There is a general complaint among the Radi cals of the lack of necessary white snpport in those sections where there are very large pro portions of negro population. From the New Yoik Sun, October 28.] Henry Dillon, an ex-Union soldier, proprietor of ft newspaper-stand at Montgomery and Hud son streets, Jersey City, yesterday received a check for $500 from the daughter of tho late General Stegman, of tho Confederate army. The circumstance under which the money wa3 paid are romantio. During the war Dillon served in tho Seoond New Jersey cavalry. He acconpl^ed his regiment on Grierson’s f amons raid Through Miss^Ppi. and ? hil ® ° n a ing expedition one day ^"' ,oun ^ ered Steg man and one of his staff officers. ullCts were exchanged and the rebel General fell from nlS saddle, mortally wounded. The staff officer fled, bnt was overtaken and haptured by a com rade of Dillon’s. In his dying moments, Gen eral Stegman requested his slay«r to take from one of his inside pockets his will, bequeathing all his property to his wifo and daughter, and a life insurance polioy for $40,000. He ask? Dillon to keep them and send them to h<_ family. After the war Mr. Dillon advertised in vain for the owners, and he resolved to retain pos session of the papers until some inquiries should be made for them. Recently an advertisement appeared in the Alabama papers offering $500 reward for the missing wilL Dillon answered it, and Gen. Stegman’s daughter came North as the guest of Roger A. Pryor. She related the particulars of the long search for the will, the difficulties that had been encountered, the pro duction of a forged will by her father’s relatives, and their Mobile law suits. She expressed deep gratitude to Mr. Dillon for the recovery of the will, and said that through it her mother and herself wonld be able to regain possession of the extensive Alabama and Georgia estates. The estates are valued at $300,000. Dillon is to be subpoenaed as a witness in the suits of their restoration to the rightful owners. Young Dillon gallantly distinguished himself in several aotions during the war, and was one of the few private soldiers to whom Congress voted a gold medal for bravery.

O., November 1.—Attorney General Akerman, having jast returned from the martial law district in Sonth Carolina, has detailed his observations, and expressed his opinion with regnrd to tho existence of the Kn- klux in that State. He says that he has ascer tained that it does exist nnder snoh names as the “Invisible Empire of the South," the “White Brotherhood,” eto., and that a majority of the entire white men of that section were in its membership or nnder its control; that its ob jects, as embodied in its oath, were: Defense of the Constitution as it was; resistance to Rad ical invasion, and the protection of widows and orphans. The penalty of treachery, provided by said oath, is death. He further claims that ten murders have been committed, twenty col ored school-honses burned, five hundred minor ontrages committed in York connty by the Kn- klnx last year, and that between one hundred and two hundred men had recently fled the country to escape punishment. The Attorney General thinks that most of these ontrages were colnmitted last March, and there have not been many very recently. Many tha t belonged to the organization have surrendered themselves and confessed, on the grounds, as he supposes, of receiving amnesty. When he left Yorkville ninety men had been arrested on a summary process and confined in the Yorkville jail with out a hearing and without bail. As to whether tho prisoners would be granted a hearing or not, he does not say, bnt claims that the Department of Justice has the right, nnder the President’s proclamation and the Ku-klnx law, to hold them until the United States Conrt should assemble on the 27th of November. This is the offioial Administration view of the situation. Comparative Cotton Statement.—The total re ceipts from September 1st, 1870 were 545,«9, and 401,351 in 1871. showing a decrease of 81,115.
