THU USD AY MORNING. AUGUST 17, 1871
A Iterolnllonnry Crisis lu France.
The telegram* yesterday say, with great con
Science, that another revolution is on tho tapis
in Paris, and the army is on the point of rovolt
to mako Goa. McMahon regent and revive tho
Empiro. Thiers and his ltepnblic aro said *-
be universally odious, r.nd all parties are plot-
ting it* overthrow. Meanwhile, as these propo
sitions smell strongly of gunpowder and public
disorder, peacefully disposed people are stem
pedieg from Paris.
France needs a powerful and energetic gov
ernment. In the light of history sinco tho fall
of the Empire, few reasonable men will donbt
that Napoleon gave Franco, on the wholo,
liberal a government as was consistent with pub
lie order: and it is not improbable that the war
with Germany and the terriblo disasters result
ing both to France and tho Empire, flowed in.
directly from the Emperor's eagerness to popu-
larizo bis government, and thus to pavo the way
foralessenergeticsnccession. In other words, wo
credit his assertion at Wilhelmshoo that popu.
lar clamor forced him into that war contrary
his judgment and inclination, which very prob
ably it might not have done nnder tho oarlier
organization of his government. The ago and
health of the Emperor, and the youth of his
moeeisor, are unpromising features in the situ
ation, but on the other hand tho Bourbons of
both branches have failed to show any appre-
ciiblo hold on the popular esteem and confi
donee. If they bavo a party, os they claim,
is too small to make itself felt and heard,
could not control tho army or people. It would
probably be less powerful to enforce order than
the ltepnblic, which certainly has a party,
the Bepublio breaks down nothing seoms to be
left but tho Empire, and if the Bepublio is gorng
the sooner it goes the belter.
Tlio State Road Plunderers In llie
Hands of* tlio law-llow the Peo
pie’s Honey was Developed by the
Trewly Loyl Pap Suckers.
The Atlanta papers of yesterday are full of the
proceedings in a Justioe’s Court, tho day before,
on a warrant issued against one N. F. Hotchkiss,
a ltadical reverend from Walton county, and
up to the time of the leaso of the State Road,
Auditor of that Boad by appointment from
Bullock. Tbo charge was cheating and swind
ling, and Hotchkiss was arrested at Marietta.
Fry, who seems to have boon his partner, bos
vamosed for parts unknown. Hotchkiss was
bankrupt at tho time he was appointed Auditor,
but has grown rioh as all the other parties to
this developing business seem to have done.
Geo. P. Barnett was the first witness sworn,
and testified that Hotchkiss admitted to him
that be, (Hotehkias,) had received $800 out of
a bill for $3,005.40 of which J. M. & J. O.
Alexander's against the State Boad, and which
ho (H.) had audited, which bill cr claim was
bogus. O. F. MuOalla, general book keeper in
the office of the State Boad, Bwore that on ono
occasion Hotchkiss returned from Chattanooga
with $1,000 he had colleoted, and that of this
amount ho, (witness) got $400, Hotchkiss re
taining the remainder—ffiOO. McCslla also
testified that tho salaries of Blodgett, Harris,
and other old officials of the road, were still bo-
ing paid by the State, although they went out
of office io January. J. O. Alexander, a mer
chant of Atlanta, testified in substance as fol
lows: We quota from the Constitution:

make Home money in the way f woe generally
done at the State Road. Fry furniabedjmness

road. Witness luario out bill on bill-bead of J.
M. & J. C. Alexander for the amount. He pre
sented tho bill to Hutobkiss, who gave his ac
ceptance at thirty days. The State ltoad was
leased, but boforo the present company took
charge, Fry got the monoy on tho Alexander
claim. Witness signed the receipt in advanoe.
Don't know whether he signed both bills at the
same time or not.
Fry said the Alexander bill was not settled,
and got witness to present the McEwen, Grant

a HEAVY HAUL.
The samo bill was in effect paid twice. Tho
amount paid out was $11,990 80.
Wheu witness obtained ihe money on tbo
draft ho paid it over to Fry. Ho received
$2,000 from Fry on the first haul before the
last was presented.
Fry brought tho acceptance to witness beforo
the expiration of tho thirty days. The bills
wore not attached to the draft, when witness
presented them to the Auditor. They were at
tached beforo presentation to the Board. Wit
ness went before the Board and made a state
ment. Tho acoount was passed up.
AOCEEXEMT TO DISOOEOE.
Witness states that there was an agreement
among tho parties interested to disgorge their
ill-gotten gains at 12 m, August 15th. Hotch-
ki a was not one of the nnmbsr. Witness re
turned all he got, $3,400. The $550 was from
another transaction.
This dose will do for to day. The examina
tion was to have been resumed yesterday, and
to-morrow wo may have some more develop
ments for our readers.
Special Senatorial Flection.
It will be seen by tho advertisement of the
Ordinary of this eonnty that the Governor has
ordered a special election to fill the vaoanoy in
the 22d Senatorial District, occasioned by the
resignation of Tbos. J. Spear, to take plaoe on
Wednesday, the 13th day of September next.
A TEimiBLE Temptation.—Messrs. Brown &
Co. sends ns a copy of this much talked of,
mnoh bepraised, and much bespattered novel,
tho latest handiwork of Cbarlos Bead—in some
respects the greatest living fiction writer of Eng
land. We bavo not read it throngb, bnt we
kDow from the oriti03 its plot. The style shows
for itself as doos the morale. Those “prurient
prudes” who saw in “Griffith Gaunt’’matter for
ultra virtuous and, therefore, most merciless
condemnation, will consign this book to the same
pit. But to those with moral skins not quite
so thin it will appear as a fascinating story most
powerfully and characteristically told—not quite
equal, perhaps, in dramatic fire and ability to
“Put Yourself in his Place,” but still well worth
a permanont place in the literature of fiction of
tho present age. It may not be exactly a book
for a very proper young man to read to his very
prim 8weotheart, but it is, nevertheless, a story
to move, and thrill, and fascinate from first to
last.
Woese off than Alabama.—With entire dis
regard to considerations of personal safety, the
Editor of the Eufanla News crossed the river
last week and roamed through some of the
neighboring counties of Georgia. He fonnd
the crops a good deal below medinm, and was
struck by the insanity of the people about rail
roads. ne predicts that Georgia will go np
higher than North Carolina or Alabama in a
very short time—a victim to adventurers like
Littlefield and Stantonl He was informed that
all the arrangements for the Hawkinsville road
have been completed and a corps of engineers
will be placed on each end of the route in a
few days.
Crops in MisHissirri —The Canton Citizen
says not more than half a crop of cotton will
be made. The Columbus Index says the rainy
season has set in too lato to effect much good.
Tho Yazoo Banner estimates the crop of that
oounty at one-half. The Natchez Democrat says
tho fortunate planters in that region will only
mako half a crop. The Fort Gibson and Vicks
burg papers mcke very unfavorable reports.
Labor in Hasaarliuselbi.
Wo see from Ihe Newburyport Herald that
tlio Barean of Labor Statistics in that Stale
has been inquiring into the condition and fare
of Mr. Sampson’s Chinese shoemakers at North
Adams, and they say:
“We found at the establishment of Mr.
Sampson a t North AdRms, seTenty-threo Chinese
coolie laborers, clad in cotton cloth, with cheap
Chinese bats and shoes. Their dining tables
were made of pino board, without covering;
their chairs were wooden benches, their sleep
ing places banks on tho side of the hall, with
thin mattresses and scant bedding. The dinner-
set for every six persons, was a bowl for each, a
platter filled with boiled pork, and boiled pota
toes ent into bits, a tin pan filled with boiled
rice, with ladle to dip it into each man's bowl;
and their table cutlery, a pair of chop sticks for
each, what tea they took, being taken in the
samo rico bowl. Now, what industrial produc
tion is stimulated by such a laboring population ?
And they go on to arguo at length on the evils
of cheap labor and “cheap men and women.’’
The Herald's excerpts from the report stop short
of enlightening ns on the oommittee’s remedy.
We think it has been the uniform practice in
Massachusetts, as well as in every other portion
of the earth’s surface, to buy labor and all the
prodnetsof laboras cheaply as possible. Wedon’t
know a place or people in the world less likely
than these to give more than the lowest price
in any exchange of values; and however benev
olent the theory that labor should constitute the
sole exception to the rule, and that the goed of
society demands that labor should be paid for at
the highest price, while all tho products of labor
must, for the same reason, bo sold at tho lowest
price; yet tho theory itself must rank among
those other crudities and absurdities of the
protective tariff men and labor reformers, which
will not work in practice.
The man who insists upon eight honrs as a
full day’s labor, to be paid for ai old or in
creased wages, while he mnst have his meat,
meal and clothing without the smallest advance
in oost, is evidently demanding impossibilities;
while, on tho other hand, if a'proportionate ad.
vanco is to bo put on the cost of living—if he,
in fact, concedes to others what be demands for
himself—his case is not improved by the change.
And the experience of the country nnder
years of exorbitant protection has so strongly
enforced this lesson that a good many of the
New England beneficiaries of protection see its
fallacy, and are now asking for a modification
or abandonment of the system. They see it
established by thorough practical test that, al
though the so-called “protection of American
industry” may raise the price of labor, yet by
raising the price of all the products of labor, it
has left labor in the same or a more disadvan
tageous relative position, while it has well nigh
destroyed all foreign market for American man 1
ufaotnred products.
And so will end every effort of arbitrary in
terference with trade and industry. It will
either come to naught or do worse. Values are
established, not by hnman tinkering, bnt by
the laws of supply and deinatd. The Southern
Confederacy and the State of Georgia under
took to regulate the prices of salt, pork, leath
er, corn, meal, oto., by statnte, but failed total
ly as thousands bad failed before. Bnt there
is just as much sense in regulating the price of
corn by law, as the price of labor. There is
just as much sense in establishing by law that
three pecks of com shall constitute a bushel
and be paid for as a full bushel, as that six or
eight hours shall constitute a day's work at the
old price. Indeed, when a short measure of
labor is established by law, impartial justice
demands that there should be a precisely equal
reduction in the scale of meal, molasses, floor,
batter and all the other necessaries of life.

topics in this bureau report is tho price of fe

OBITUARY-
Died at bis residence in this city, on the 9th or
July, Mr. James O. Hodges—aged 44 years and nine
months. Jim was, in evoiy sense of the word, a
skilled and experienced salesman and merchant,
and no man in Georgia possessed greater business
qualifications. Hia liberality was unbounded, and
I can safely say that selfishness found no resting
place in his generous bosom, even when the sun of
prosperity had set to rise no more upon him. He
lived long enough to And out and realize tho va
riety of all earthly objects, as ho so expressed him
self in his last hours, and died having a bright hopo
of unfading joys beyond this valley of team.

THE VKOKRIA I'ltliVS.
A shark eight feet six inches long, and mea
suring thirteen inches across the month, was
canght at Bcantieu, near Savannah, last Sun
day.
Mr. Jesse Alien Northington, tbo oldest mer
chant of Sandersvifle, and a most popular citi
zen, died Wednesday of last week.
A Washington eonnty farmer tells the editor
of the Sandersville Georgian that he will make
no more corn this year with five plows, than he
did last year with two.
The negro axe company of Savannah paraded
fully armed and equipped, with rifles, Monday
afternoon.
A negro washerwoman of Columbus stole
$100, all her customers’ clothes, and another
woman’s husband, one day last week. This is
what the yellow back novelists would call
fell swoop."
The Columbus San, of Tuesday, reports the
following accidents:
Serious Accident.—Sunday, as the passenger
train was leaving for Macon, a negro boy named
Frank Purcell—as is the habit of such chaps,
despite the vigilance of the officers—got on the
steps of one of the cars to ride a short distance
and then- jump off. In this instance the boy
was hard to satisfy, and hnng on until the train
got nearly to the culvert. By this time the train
had gottea up a pretty good rate of speed. In
jamping off, the boy was given a whirl which
brought his body around and nnder the train.
He had his arm crushed to the shonlder and a
hole knocked in his head. A physician was
called to Bee him, who, alter examining the
case, pronounced recovery impossible.
The Savannah Advertiser, of Tuesday, gives
us the latest nows concerning the mysterious
murder of Mre. Davis, in Bullock county, on
Wednesday of last week:
News has reached ns of the arrest on Satur
day of the party whom it is believed cut Mrs.
Davis’ throat so mysteriously last Wednesday
night, while she was sleeping in her apartment
with her two little girls. The party arrested is
Mrs. Mary Driggers, a widow, and sister of
Mrs. Davis, the murdered woman.
Mrs. Driggers, who is in destitute circum
stances, has been refused support by Mr. Davis
at various times, and has also been requested
to leave his house. It will be remembered that
ho was absent on a fishing excursion when his
wife was killed. Since the horrible event ho
declares that Mrs. Driggers threatened to kill
him the night before he absented himself, and
that he feared her. As soon as he had left his
wife alone, it transpires that Mrs. Driggers re
turned to his house, although driven away pre
viously, and was the only person In the building
except tho children, when Mrs. Davis was taken
off. As soon as the body of the latter was dis
covered by her friends, Mrs. Driggers seated to
them that her sister had lived over two hours,
and had arisen from the bed and walked abont. I \_J each po

Carl Sclnzrz's Great Speech at Chi
cago.
Wo gave an extract, yesterday, from the
speech of this distinguished German-American
at Chicago a few nights since, and to-day we
have the pleasure of calling attention to a few
others. Schurz is the leader of the German
element in the Radical party, and as snch will
play a most important part in determining their
position with reference to the rival candidates
for President next year. He certainly does not
favor the re-nomination of Mr. Grant, and ais
that event seems, and, Is in the opinion of all
who have studied the question, inevitable, we
do not see why Schurz and the German Radi
cals may not be induced to assist in beating
Mr. Grant. Of course they cannot be brought
to unite with the Democracy npon any snch
platform as that which dng the grave of the
party, in advance, in 18G8. Bat if live men

and moderation, and putting far from them all I 8 “ ie 1 OL “\ u \T uo , u , ao UL « ““‘ uc

The Federal Union, of Tuesday, has the fol
lowing particulars of the fire, there, last Thurs
day night:
Fire.—On Thursday night last, abont 10$
o’clock, the livery stable was discovered to be
on fire. The fire originated in the loft among
the forage and must have been pnt there by
some fiend in human form. Owing to this com
bustible material, the building burned very ra
pidly, and was in a blaze before much of
crowd could collect. We are, however, happy
to state that all the horses and all the vehicles,
except one buggy, were saved without injury.
About $300 worth of feed, some harness and
other articles were destroyed. The stable
bnilding was not insured and the loss to the
owner of this property is heavy. The residence
of Mrs. McComb, to the south, was, by great
exertion on the part of onr citizens, saved.
Several houses, (five, we believe) lying north,
belong to Mrs. S. B. Brown and the estate of
A. W. Callaway, and occupied by negroes, were
destroyed. Wo learn these buildings were in
sured. The residence of Mr. Matt Butts was
also destroyed. We regret to learn that
he had no insurance. His famitnre was all
saved.
When an Augusta creditor of the female per
suasion and brunette complexion, finds all
other methods of getting a debtor to plank up
fntile she goes to chnrcb, and as the debtor walks
np the aisle she pnlls his coat-tail and demands

responds that she mnst be a d—n fool, throws

he is begging re-election:
CONSTITUTIONAL OOYEEHENT.
In spoaking of the power wielded by the gov
ernment to avert the evils arising threfrom, two
things were essential, the speaker said: That we
conscientiously adhere to the principles of con
stitutional government, and that we elevate the
standard of morality in political life.
The opposition to the Ku-klnx bill in Con
gress was because the bill invested the Govern
ment with powers not warranted by the Const!
tution—powers more dangerous in effect than
the abuses they were to correct. It was like
appointing a lion to proteot sheep against wolves.
The lions would easily keep the wolves away,
bat what was to protect the sheep from the lion.
Our general government has the power to pro
tect the rights and liberties of its citizens, but in
doing so, it is not to go beyond certain lines of
its authority prescribed in the Constitution.
Senators voted against this act not as if they
had keen nnwlling to protect the lives and rights
ami liberties of those who needed it in the
Sonth, bnt because of the manner in which the
protection is proposed, involving great dangers
to the rights and liberties of all; and we re
fused to grant snch powers to the Executive,
not bocause the President now in office did not
individually possess our confidence, but because
we would not entrust any man, were he ever so
great and good with such powers to rule over
the American people.
THE WAR OVER.
Iu periods of extreme public peril, a tempo
rary grant of snch extraordinary powers may be
a necessity, as the Romans appointed a dictator
when the enemy was at their gates. In such
periods the habit of using exceptional powers is
asily acquired, bnt it is time at last we should
understand that the war is over; that the habits
of war must be dropped, and that constitutional
government mnst once more reign supreme.
There is no safety for onr free ixsututions bnt
this.
THE MARKET WHERE CONSCIENCES ARE BOUGHT.
Much would be won for the civil service re
form by the limitation of the Presidential term
to one term. You make a President ineligible
for a second term and the market where con
sciences are bought and sold will at least be
limited to that extent. Washington reoognized
the high responsibility of his duty and gave to
his subordinates that measure of his own
notions of honor by his own example.
However much ha deserved reward for that
which he had done for the oountry, and
nobody ever did or deserved as much before
him or after him, he showed that he looked
npon bis office as an obliging opportunity to
render still greater servioes and not as a mere
the road. President Johnson has been tele
graphed for and the matter will doubtless, in a
day or two, be definitely settled.
A writer in the Southern Becorder, of Tnes-
day, gives “a few dots on crops” in Baldwin
county. He says:
Corn crops will be cut off near one-half of
last year’s crop; river low lands very poor ; np
lands light; cotton small and thin stand-
stopped growing during the late excessive warm,
dry weather, shedding mneb, and some signs
of mat—will not make over two-thirds of iast
year's crop without a very favorable fall.
Seven of the Darien negro Ka-klax headed
by that old scoundrel, Radical State Senator
Tonis G. Campbell, were bronght to Savannah,
Monday afternoon, and will be tried for their
outrage npon Captain Irvine, of tho British ship
“Grace.
We clip the following from the Atlanta Sun,
of yesterday:
Stealing to Hide Their Guilt.—Yesterday
while Mr. McCalla was absent from his office
for a few moments, a very important book, con
taining evidence of the gnilt of some of the
State Road plunderers, was stolen from where he
left it locked np.
A Man Assailed and Dangerously Shot by
Three Men.—Abont 9 o’clock Monday night,
near the junction of Marietta and Walton streets,
Mr. J. G. Clark, familiarly known as “Dick
Clark.” a conductor on the Atlanta and West
Point Railroad, was attacked by Taylor and W.
A. Turner, and Charles F. Eiliott, a brother-in-
law to the Turners. Mr. Clark was hit by two
bnllcts, one in the arm and the other through
the lungs. Clark is now lying in a very critical
condition, and the chances for his recovery is
said to be, by his attending physicians, de
cidedly bad.
At an investigation of Ibe case had before
Justice Butt yesterday morning the parties
were refused bail, and committed to jail to
await the issue of Mr. Clark’s wounds.
Miss Minnie Turner, a sister of the Tamers,
named above, and deeply implicated in this
murderous attempt, was up, and bail in her
case was offered at $2,500 until next Saturday,
at which time the parties are to have another
hearing.
The Western Railroad.—The whole of the
Western Railroad, from Montgomery to West
Point and Columbus, is being relaid with new
fishbar rails. Abont thirty miles are already
completed.
The Neapolitan coral fishers this year have
been very successful, but there is no chance of
the prices being lowered, so increasing is the
demand for this article. Good pink coral ianow
worth about fifty times its weight in gold.
