To the .deputies from Alsace and Lorraine tbe Prince was most affable, coaveraing with them partly in Frenoh and partly in Ger man. The appointment of General Manteneffee as Governor of the provlnee, ho said, was certain, and a batter man tor the post oonld cot be found. Tha Chancellor then dwelt on fiscal matters and the pressing necessity, for protecting the agriculturalists, especially tbe petty holders, against foreign compe tition.

He also spake of tbe system of education jn the South era school* as being of invidious charac ter, and quoted from sohool book* to show that tneh was tbe fact. Mr. Vance said be was requeued to state tbo fact, whioh wasaieo within hi* own knowledge, that the par iasn sohool literature spoken of by Blaine is non-existent. Daring Un- war a few such works circulated, but »inca then no Soathera child hud ever seen one. No measure advooatsd by Southern men, said Mr. Vance, ha* a fair bearing in the body. Toe fact that it is upheld by them i* the signal for re viving an oil issue not pertinent to the queation. He thonght it essential to a proper consideration of this bill that it be discu3Bed oa its merits, but the argu ments of its opponent* were mere de nunciations. If this were action at law, and such answers to the complaint were filed they would be rejected as frivolous. Mr. Vance made a very earnest demand ihit proper respect bo given to Southern Representatives, and oommented upon the R -publican logic concerning elections, which was, “Emotions shall be free if we have to enrrofind the poll- with bayonets, they shall b= according to State law* if we bava to overawe the civil authorities' force to* nave our way, they shall be pare if it takes John Davenport and every oiiminal in onr cities to manage and give them parity Tney shall be conducted with out appearace of violence if artillery has to be trained on every ballot box, aDd they shall be fait' if wa have to arrest every man offering to volo tbe Demo cratic ticket.

New Tor* Chronicle. 1 The Silyxb Qubstijn. — By Edward Langley : R*«d March 19, 1879, bofore the Manchester Statistical Society. We are in receipt of a pamphlet copy of this paper. It appears to b* a review of the silver question considered from tbe standpoint ot an intelligent Manchester manufaoiurer. Mr. Langley tells us tba: for neatly s-Venty years, the defeots ot England’s single gold etandard have been concealed thioogh tho nnliunt-d ooinago act of France and the Latin Union. That aoi mado Franc* a kind of lotornational Exshunge or Clearing-House for Eng land’s trade with silver countries.. Gqt>> many, by demonetizing silver, disturbed this quiet, unobserved movement, com- polling Franoe suddenly in 1876 to put aa end lo free coinage. Up to <h*t time England was unconscious but her mone tary system had it* balance-wheel tn tbe Latin Union, Now hermetohants find, without quit* appreciating tbe caoso, that trade aa ihey will with Indio, Cains, Mexico aod the west oast of Son b America, they cannot trade at a profi , but are becoming poorer year by year. It must ba r-membered, in this con nection, that England hold* a peculiar position in this woil l. She ia dependent tor her supplies of fcol, to one-third at least, to toreign countries, and earns the money to pay for them by profit on her manufactures. When manufactures cease to be profitable, her course necessarily must be downward. H-nco it is abso lutely essential that tbe monetary sye- iem of Great Britain ehonld ba suited to her customers, so that there will be the least possible friction or loss in ber trade arrangements. Profits now-a-daya are very small, even when every step in the process of makiDg tho exchanges perfectly adjusted. Yet, just now, Eng land finds a barrier suddenly erected De tween her aod her customer*; their money is not ber money, and there is no way of adjusting her accounts except in directly, and that throogb a fluctuating bullion market, wbicb, a* experience has taught up, may be one thing to-day and quite another to-morrow. Conseqrantiy, all her trade with silver countries is do moralized and unprofitable, and Eagland, instead of accumulating wealth by means of ber manufacturer*, is trading at a loss. Sbe is a wealthy country ani can bear this drain for a time, bat the end can. not be donbtfnl if tbe oovioU3 remtdy is not applied. But again, there is another evil of the present system, and that is—ono we nave often refereed to—tbe fight for gold wbicb must sooner or later come between tbe countries of Europe. Tne gild famine of last summer ebould have been sufficient to have enligbtsd En glish statesmen. Gold production is de creasing, and probably will not exceed $100,000 this year. The United States will retain its supply. France ha£ been able to provide for Great Britain’s emergtncies heretofore, fur nishing England all too gold reqaired on the occurrecci of any panic or symptoms of one; but it seems as if that resource were likely to fail for the fature, judging from tbo lato. returns of the Bank of France, its stock of gold bavisg fallen from (aa we abowed in the Chronicle of April 5, page 338) 306 mil lion dollars DecemDer 21, 1876, to 166 million dollars December 31,1878. These figures, in Mr. Langley’s opinion, teem to point to a period, not far distant, when that bank may think it its duty not to permit any further reduction in stock. Such a condition, however.needs no com ment; it shows a point of great weak ness; or, we should rather eay, that it brings to the surface a pecul'ar and dan gerous defect of tbe single gold stand ard and wise men will provide against it. Once more, England has in India an other strong argument for bi-metaliem. We have urged this point freaaeatly,but Mr. Langley pats one branch of the case in a little different shape. Thebnrden to a silver country of a gold debtpsyable in London is increased at the rate of two percent, for every fall cf one penny in the ounco of silver. India has snch a debt, requiring her to paj JS17.000.000 annually in London. The loss the pres ent year on the cost of placing this amonnt in London will be nos less than £4,000,000, or a»y $20,000,000. For ev ery farther fall in silver of one penny per rupee thia lots will be increased £700.000 annually. As the price of sil ver, with occasional upward fluctuations, mutt always be downward*, otto oan easi ly see not only the present costof mono- metalism to the taxpayers of India, bnt how greatly and rapidly the cost may be increased if this evil is not speedily ar rested. It cannot go on without, in the end, leading to greatly increased taxa tion and its consequent evils.

The grand jury last week, having fully investigated the allegations and charges of their predecessors, Of the November term, against Hon, Michael Gormiey, Ordinary, in the - matter of the connty funds, folly exhonorated him. But there was a protest by three, or four of the juror*. This week tho matter, in all probability, will be reopened/ and tbo sense of another grand jury invoked on the matter. Capt. W.

I am of the opinion they are, in the main, a noble, generous and true eet of men. And that if they ware only as well off, they wonld be S3 hospitable, as generous, as charitable, and as kind and obliging es they ever were. It has been often said that poverty makes people mean. It 13 not trud, as a general pro jl?6ition. But the false accusation is founded on the truth- that poor people have not tho qicaus to do what their good hearts prompt them to. Thoao people who wero severe sufferers by the late storm, realize, with tbo warmest emotions of gratitude, how anxious and willing their fellow-citizens have been to contri bute to their relief by substantial aid and assistance. Randolph. Tlie Meatiest Alan in tbe World Of all tbe mean characters that have come under my observation, the meanest of all is tho dyspeptic cynic, to whom grumbling has become a second nature. The weather is always too hot or too dri; the meat is too rare or too thoroughly cooked, too fat or too lean—in short, he grumbles about everything, from his coffee to Congress. He is always in want of something he has not, and forever dis contented with whatever he hae. Contra riness is bis distinguishing trait. If his wife desires to epend the evening with friend he insists npon staying at home. He warns all his bachelor friends to be are of matrimony. His brain is so fell of whims and crotchets there is little room for reason or sense. But the dys« peptic cynic reaches ‘the acme of dis agreeableness when t% diseased liver has supplemented the grumbling by hypo chondria. Then the slightest unpleas ant olronmstanoe ia magnified into some thing momenton* and terrible. Tte vic tim beoomes distrustful of his best frionds, and all sorts of imaginary evils haunt tbe weakened brain. This piolure is not overdrawn, as thousand* cf horn-a oan attest—homes it* whioh domestic happiness and harmoDy have been wreoked by—nothing more than a dys peptic and ohronio disease of the liver. Given a sound stomach and a healthful liver and the results will almost in variably be health aod a oheerfnl temper Dr. Pierce’u Golden Medioal Discovery and Pleasant Pargitiva Pellets are un failing remedies for all ebronio diseases of the stomach and liver.

A Tint Raxlboad.—Athens Courier: Smith Clayton has been over the Sinders- villoRailroad, and says it is tht shortest road in the world. It is only three miles long, and tho fare is 25 cents, or eight and a third cents a mile. The engine is so small that the engineer, (who 1 am re liable informed ia al30 the president, superintendent, conductor, newsboy and prize candy man of the corporation,) has to lay on his stomach to run it. The driving wheels are three feet in diameter, and tbe steam valises, (I cannot say chest?) are abcut the oizo of an elderly work box. Y«s. But the Courier ought to inform itself bow mush business goes over this short road, and what a nice investment it has proved, besides greatly advancing the convenience and prosperity of tbe enterprising citizens of Sandersville. Tus Albany Advertiser reports the ac cidental shooting of Mr. J. W. Hail, ot Tifton, on Wednesday last. He was loading the pistol when the cartridge went off, planting a bullet in bis thigh. Tho wound is not thonght to be very dangerous. The Advertiser says: The “ Advertiser will publish a daily bulletin daring the fair, which comes off on Thursday and Friday of thi3 week.” The exhibition is expected to be a grand success' and we trust will be nnmeroualy attended. The Trial of .ex-Tbeasubsb John Jones.—Much of the testimony in this case is documentary and has not aa yet been given to tho public. The following taken from the Constitution embraces near ly everything ot epecial interest that has transpired: Colonel Jones was put' upon the stand himself and testified for defendants as to all his acts as Treasurer of the State, giving fully the details when asked abont them. Tne main feature of bis testimo ny was as to the understanding with the Governor abont the Grant-Natting bond, witness stating that be told the Govern or that it war to be a tetu'pbrary bond; and tbat the second bond was intended to replace the first one and relieve the securities, Gram and Nuttiag. Ha s»id the Governor so accepted it, as he under stood. The reason lev givifig a tempo rary bond was that tha'Governor wished him, Jones, to assume rite office at once Upon his election, because Treasnrer Ahgier had given notice that be wotfid close his acoonnts tend not transact any other business of the. State. "Wit ness said his bondsmen were not here, bnt perhsp* ho oonld give a tem porary bond nntil they 6hohld be on hand to sign tbe permanent bond. Witness procured the consent of Grant and Nnt- titg to sign his temporary bond; ho'stat ed, however, to the governor tbat he preferred to give bis own kinsmen and i Mends upon his official bond as in the past. He did not want Grant and Nut ting to remain upon his bond, because at tbe time both of them were presidents of banks, and he did not desire that any one might have oooaaion to say that be had places the treasury under obligations to any bankers. He gave bis permanent bond, sb he supposed it to be, on the 23th of January, 1873, and thonght that ipso facto cancelled the temporary bond of Grant and Nutting that bad been execut ed on the 13tb of that month. Colonel Jones also testified as to bts payment of past due bonds of tbe Slate, claim ed now to have been wrongfully, carelessly and fraudulently paid. He did all theBe acta complained of in the most utmost good faith undt r tbe infor mation at hand, and admitted willful or oareless error in tbe matter. Colonel Jones testified fully as to the financial transactions of the State about tbe time when the acts complained of should have taken place. With reference to a pack age of bonds, $21,500, whica A'.ton Au- Kier reoeipted for to the Fourth National Bank ot New York, and testified tbat b« left npon the shelves of the treasury vault when it was turned oTer to Treas urer Jones, and which bonds were after wards included among his vouchers and made the baais of a credit, Coionel Jones testified that be never saw any such pack age ; that wben Angier turned over to him he eimply said: "Here is the vault and contents.” Every bond included among his vouchers either paid by him in cur rency or by exchange for new bonds, or paid by the Fourth National Bank or New York and remitted to him. The pons. Witness admitted that the item of $800 coupons clipped from the “Nut ting bonds” befoye issuance is a proper debit against him, aa thej were included by mistake among his vouchers.

The testimony of Comptroller-General Goldsmith waa then read; alio, another set of Throckmorton interrogatories. If, after the investigation, it shall appear to tbe Bishop and standing committee, that jnnovitions have been introduced, it ehallbe the duty of the Bishop, by in strument in writing under hiB hand, to admonish the minister so officiating, to discontinue snoh innovations, aad if the minister shall disregard each admonition, it shall be tho duty of the standing com mittee to cause him to be tried for a breach of hiB ordination vow.' The Bishop may, as provided by law, suspend the clergyman against whom proceedings are instituted under this canon, from the exercise of bis official duties pending tbe trial. The Bishop, before the passage cf the abovo, made a short address, and told tho clergy of the neoeseity for such step—that there was many schemes on foot-to invade the ritual, and warned them to be trne and stand man to man in Cangtat at Last.
