Telegraph & Messenger. 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: Fry oamo to him and said that he wanted to make Home money in the way f woe generally done at the State Road. Fry furniabedjmness With the items of articles be said thntim had S nrobased from MoEwen, Grant & Co., of Now ork, with the approval of all parties at the 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 Co. claim. 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.

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. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS sm.cn cow to feed him and his kin, and he could ask of every government oflicor under him the same notion of hoDor and dnty. I am for the elevation of the moral tone' in onr political life from my whole soul, and ho who is earnest must not recant from pursuing evil in all its ramifications, whatever it may be. It is my conviction that the American people, if they desire to restore purity to onr public life, must direct their attention to the head as well as the members of the body politic. 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.

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 make the platform, aided therein by wisdom and moderation, and putting far from them all I 8 “ ie 1 OL “\ u \T uo , u , ao UL « ““‘ uc . ’ . j complaint to the Mayor, alleging that the ran- 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 the stamps very audibly. Tho debtor generally responds that she mnst be a d—n fool, throws a handful! of sand in her eyes and vamoses. Mr. Jas.

The Mayor yesterday sent an order to the agent of the road forbidding the BUGGIES & WAGONS, mis be not that of a rhinoceros he mnst surely squirm under the comparison between himself and Washington, made by one of the leaders and representatives of the party at whose hands 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.
