Cosbt.—A few days ago, in the United Statu
Supreme Court, Justice Field, In delivering a
dUaexiting opinion 19 to tho oonstitution^Lty
of the Thorman Pacific Bailtoad Funding
act, intimated, in rather broad terms, that
the views of the majority of the Court, as
announced in the opinion submitted, had a
tendency for cerlraliaation, and then went
into an argument advancing rathe: pointedly
tho dootrino of State xighta. The majority
of the members of the Court have, in view
of what (hey deemJnJge Fields’breach of
decorum, a proposition under adviaement to
adopt as a role of the Court that, hereafter,
all dissenting opinions shall first be submit
ted to the Ocnrt in its private conanliation
room. A member of the Court told a practi
tioner before it on the day that Judge Field
delivered hie opinion, that the Conrt would
certainly not have submitted to such a lec
ture from an attorney making argument be
fore It, and that it ought to exercise the
right to prevent a member in the minority in
a oaee fs6m obtruding views which refleet
upon the other Justices of the Court.
Bossxa’a Etock Acoriox. — New York
special to the Cincinnati Commercial: The
great auction sale of trotters and trotting
stock from the farm of Bobsri Bonner, took
place in this oily to-day and attracted proba
bly the largest and most notable gathering
of horsemen ever ass emb’.ed in this oonntry.
Daring tho morning 1c was estimated that
more than five thousand persons visited the
grounds. Too list of noted turfman, breed
ers and haras fanciers in attendance would
oomprue hundreds of names. Many promi
nent ones came to attend tha tales from’Nsw
England, the West and South, and indeed
all parts of the eoantry. Among the e'gfaty
eight Mr. Bonner offered were the slx-year-
oldgelflioSvEjkjUbrses; gad thiity-five hor
ses from yearlings to five year olds. Bidding
throughout the eale was spirited, and satis
factory prices were obtained for ohoice.yet
buyers in the main thick they hive made
very good bargains for themsolves. The
total amount realized waa $37,74), a fraction
lees than <403 per head. Keene Jim, the
moat valuable horse sold, bred by George F.
Keene, of Kentucky, wee bought by Charles
A. Dans, of tho New York Sun, for $4,COO.
—The battle of Torgan, fought by Fred
erick the Great in 1760, ia well known to
have been one of the moat murderously con
tested aciions which has ever taken place
but until lately no trustworthy enumeration
haa ever been given of the killed, wounded,
and missing on either tide. In the last
number of the Hilitsr Wochenbiatt, the organ
of the German general staff, carefnlly pre
pared tables are published of the losses suf
fered by the several Prussian regiments of
cavslry and battalions of infantry engaged,
and from these it appears that the fifty-nine
battalions which took part in the notion, and
Which cambered altogether 26,000 officers
and men, lost a total cf . 16.65) officers and
men, or about 69 per oent. of their aggregate
affective. In tho thirty-nine battalions which
fought under the personal direction and im
mediate orders of the King, the proportion
of losses was even graator, so that, after the
action, th3 five battalions of grenadiers had
to be fortned into one battalion, the remnants
of six battalions of two other regiments
being also temporarily organized into ono
battalion. Of tha 26.000 Infantry soldiers
who went into action, 8,859 were killed, 7.956
Were wounded, and 8,130 were reported as
misting. As a contrast to this terrible pro
portion of killed, wounded, and missing, it
may bo mentioned that the loss at Gravelotte
waa oolyl-Uth of the wboio nnmber of
troops engaged on both eides, at Worth and
Mars-U-Tonr 16th, at Splaheren 1 8tb, at
Konlggratz, l-15ih only, and at Magenta and

More Of the Fair.
It is impossible to take in and des
cribe the vast nnmber of exhibits whloh
have justly made tha State Fair of the
Georgia Agricultural Society d! 1879, the
most famous and oomplete bn record. At
every step some pleasing objeot would
transfix the attention of the visitor, and
new beauties end unique displays wets
continually challenging his admiration-
Especially ia it hard to make fitting men
tion of the transcendent beauties of Flo
ral Hall, where the handiwork of Mr.
Woodruff, the well known florist, and
the eiqiiaite taste of the ladies of Ma
con had their falleat exemplification. Ho,
too, of the Art Gallery and the many
ohoice pictures on exhibition there, which
it wonld require days to atady and appre
ciate.
The groups of merchandise artistically
arranged on every aide, made up a dis
play alco, which for beauty and excel
lence, cannot be beaten in tbu Sonth.
These illustrated the attractive wares of
many of onr leading merchants. Among
them should be named the display of
Bclind B. Hall,whose frsg&nt perfumery

of goods covering all styles of gentle

Death ol Don. Zaeh Chandler.
The sadden death of Senator Chandler,
of Michigan, is one of the news items by
the day telegrams of yesterday, the par
ticulars of whloh will be found among the
despatches. It oocurred in the Grand
Pacific Hotel, in Chicago. Tne Senator
was on his retain from Wisconsin, where
he had been stamping, and had made a
speeoh during the previous evening in
Chicago. At seven o’clook yesterday
morning, at whioh hoar he had left an or
der to be called to continue his journey
hom», he was found dead on his hed,
though not qaite cold.
Senator Chandler had passed his three
score and ten, but was a man of robnst
frame and extraordinary vigor for his
years. He will be missed in the oonnsels
of the stalwarts, for among the audacious
he look the lead. Wo doubt whether
there is another man on the Ooniinent
who could hava planned and executed,
without a moment’s hesitation or flinoh-
ing, the enterprise of counting in, as
President of the United States,'a man
oleatly defeated both on the popular and
electoral vote by large major! tiee. With
out his nerve and reckless daring, that
enterprise would have fallen through.

THB FOLITIOSr, CASES.
Washington, October 29.—Gossip in
legal circles ia that decisions in the po
litical eases ' recently argued before the
Supreme Court may not be expeoted for
some time. The impression,seams to be
that in soy of the cases where the oooit
oan avoid rendering aa opinion on tha
idea ot want of jnriadiction it will do so.
It is supposed that possibly this may be
the fate of the Virginia caess. With re
gard to some of the other cases, the court
can promulgate a deoioion without
trenching npou the question ot the oon
stitntionality of the eleotion laws of Con'
grese.
The Maryland case is considered as tbe
most complicated of all, and it has been
held by some of the members of the bar
that the court, in considering this case,
most' face the naked question of
constitutionality. Oiber eminent mem
bers of the bar hold, however, that even
in the Maryland case tbe court may, if bo
disposed, glvo relief to the petitions
and still find a loopbsle to escape the
discussion of this question. Bat there
appears to bs little if aay dissent from
the view that the oourt, if it is forced to
.decide upon the constitutionality ot the
election Jaws, will decide that question
in the affirmative. This ia also tne view
held by members ot the administration
and others whs are prominent in the
Bepnblioin party. Hence there is sig
nlficanoe in the remark just made by
Seeretary Sherman that as soen as the
Republicans regain control of Congress
they will enact additional and more strin
gent provisions with-reference to the
eleotive franobise. Perhaps they will
bring forward a sale the notorious force
bill which the Bepubiloana came so near
passing i i the dying hours of the Fotty-
tbird Congress. Ool. John C. Burch, the
Secretary of the Senate, will arrive in
Washington to-morrow, with hie family
to remain for the winter. Col. Batch
has taken a handsome house on Vermont

ration of a report on the subject by the
time cf the meeting of Congress. The
report will first be submitted to the spe

whether it shall be made public. Mr.
Brace apparently does not care ts speak
very freely in regard to tha inveetiga

of Mr. Bruce is cansed by representations
whioh hava been made to him that he
wonld injure the Republican party pros

expected to make any party capital out
of the investigation, ae they have thought
the whole thing had been pretty well dis

instructions to Virginia.
The instructions issued by Mr. Hayes
to the Virginia voters as to bow they
ehould vote on the bond qaeation, are
quite unexceptionable in their oharaoter;
but the practice of giving each instrue
lions is a bad one. The preoedent is
dangerous. It is ia tbe esseuoe of a free
popular government that the peopio
should be allowed to vote aooording to
their own nill and judgment, and not
according to those of the administration
at Washington. The ideas advanced by
the Republicans that instructions how to
vote shonld first emanato from the na

there has been tronble and the State ought

yet to disoover, though wa are on tha traok,
and ehall know all about it bafore we are

at onoe guessed that doubtless Atlanta wm

the suggestion of some meddlesome Metho
dist or Presbyterian or Baptist brother, and
ao the affair had got badly mixed. We set
about all sorts or enquiries, and sent ont

this writing not one jot or tittle of evidenee
can we get in that direction. And we be
lieve on onr honor as impartial interviewers,
that tha preachers had no hand in that
breach of faith with the State Fair Now
we confess to be at a lose to acoonnt for the
fact that tbe Exeentlve Committee has with
held the usual courtesy of complimentary
tickets from Ministers toUyear,and they have
had to pay their way liko oilier poor sinners,
or stay outside. At the same time wa do not
wish to misjudge the ExeouUve Committee,
who paes.bjy wished to keep the preachers
out or the way of temptation at toe races,
or at any rate to throw tbe reapoaalbili.y of
their going upon themselves. Ur to give the
Committee ere lit for some small modicum
of compunction about thsse races, we are
willing to allow that as they furnished per
haps the best part of the show outside 'tbe

Committee was to prerer to keep toe preach
ers in tbs dark somewhat about the true
facts. Beside we understand the same
meaanre was meted ont to the representa
tives of the religious newspapers as to the
preachers, while every other section of the
fourth estate “was freely invited and ticket
ed “complimentary’’ through. What does all
this mean? If the complimentary tickets
are to be dropped altogether, let it be so,
and ministers have no oomplaint to make.

ZacbUriah Chandler, of Michigan, was
foanc! dead ia his bed at tbe Grand Pa-

speaking in Wisconsin, and lost evening
addressed an immenss audience in
Carmack Hall in this ci y, and spoke with
hia utraal earnestness.
After the meeting, when he, Senator

order was given to have him oalled in
the morning st 7 o’clock. His friends
then bade him good night and left.
That is tbe last time the Senator waa
seen alive: This morning, when tbe
offioe boy oalled him, there was no re
sponse. Aa upon a repetition silence
prevailed, the clerk effected an entrance
through the transom and found that the
Senator was dead.
The body was not quite cold, and a
physician who was preneut decided that
death occurred about three hours previ

painless. Tbe ooroner will hold an in

- Richmond, October 31.—rhe InteUi.
gencer published and vouches for tha
truth of the following statement:
President Hayes desires hia position on
tbe Virginia debt canvass to be known.
Ho does not assume to command or OOfl-
trol the Republicans of Virginia nor
Bsek to iefinenoe the actions of the Fed
eral officers. He would be surprised U
the Republicans allied themselves with
tbe readjustee. They shonld not coun
tenance any proposition whatever that
contains the germ of repudiation, an#
most not sacrifice the principles involved
in tha payment ot Virginia’s honert
debts. Virginia is making the greatest
mistake of her life. Readjustment is ia
principle repudiation. No speculative
men will ever settle in Viginia unless
her people are honest and .psy what they
ewe. He knows his views on this sub
ject ore entertained by Grant, Blaine,
Sherman and all the leading Republi
cans of the North, East and West.
Some Southern Republicans will not op
pose such leaders. He had inquired if
the Federal officials of Virginia were not
supporting the question cf payment and
was gra'ifiej to hear that they were. He
said he hoped the colored people would
not be misled by the apparis of dema
gog res and induoed to vote against the
party of honesty and right.

■izianaz Dear sit—Yours dated Ootober
221 reached me yesterday. It is with
great surprise that I learn of the action
of the Convention towards myself. Had
the slightest intimation rescued me in
time, mat such action was proposed, I
would have prevented some little tronble.
Although always deeply interested in the
welfare of your State and the general
country, I have never been, iu any sense
of the word, a politician, and do not pro-
p Me, at this late d3y, to enter the po
litical arena. While I firmly believe that
the principles of the National Republican
patty are beet for the government of
this nation; while I believe in
a strong national government for
national affaire, ia . a dollar that
is worth one hundred cents, in tbe
protection of-all in equal rights, and
while I believe that the idea of a solid
South has been, is and if it prevails al
ways will be aa “Iliad of woes” to tha
Southern people, I am not vain enough
to think that any effort of mine or nse
of my name will materially promote tbs.
spread of these principles or retard tbe
progress of the solidification. Even
could I-be convinced that such might be-
the cose, that as one of yonr standard
bearers I might do something for the'
general good, my health and business
positively forbid euoh notion. Given a
free vote and a • fa'r ouuat, and I feel
oonfidf at the ticket will win in Decem
ber whether my name ia on it or not; and
without a free vote and a fair ooant tbe
name of George -Washington himself
would avail nothing. I-zinoerely thank
the convention. For the. resassa given
above, I mast beg leave to deoline the
nomination. I am sir, very respectfully,
yonr obedient servant.
