Mas. WnaBTos.—Tbe Herald Annapolis cdr-
reapondenee aa js that public opinion in relation
to the guilt of Mr*. Wharton, U rapidly chang
ing in her favor, and mind* moot prejudiced
against her are staggered by the overwhelming
ease the detente haa preaeotad. The testimony
aa to the amiability and general beneTolonco
and lorUneaa of her character, waa exceedingly
atrong. _
Xnr Two Faaxsuna—The atatne of Frank,
lin la to be unveiled in Printing Qonao Square
to day by Horace Greeley, whom Whittier baa
dnbbed oar aeoond Franklin, alluding to hia
onppoatd mastery of the political elements.
The first Franklin bronght the fire down from
boaven by meant of paper, and tba aeoond
Franklin brought it np from below by tho same
instrumentality. Tba first Franklin was great
in what be knew, and the aeoond is great in
what he don’t know.
A Waax Rxrmuc.— According to tho Tri
bune, that English Bepnblio which waa all-
ready, on the mere nod of Mr. Odger, to de
throne the Queen and drive Lords and Parlia
ment Into exile, is not in a good financial con-
dltion. They bad a grand quarrel at their last
meeting, over bills calling for XII, dno bill-
stickers, printers and gettara-npof meetings,
bat failed to raise the mad. On the whole, the
British monarchy may bo considered aafe for
some months longer.
Tut Gataxr.—The February number cf the
Galaxy la early in tha field. Among its contents
is a paper on Lonis Napoleon in England, by
Alexander Young. Justin McCarthy writes
npon John Baskin. Gen. Caster in another ar
ticle upon Life npon the Plains, treats of the
origin sod decay of the Indians. Tho third part
la given of “Fifteen Years a Shakeress." The
“Eoataoe Diamonds" is continued. My Bosnian
Friends, A Trifling Mistake, Three Loves, the
Uieeaiogs of Sodden Death, Geneves, and other
articles add to tba variety.
Won’r ax lire unci led.—The inhabitants of
Alsace and Lorraine don’t seem to “acoept the
situation" very graoefnlly. A moat significant
evidenoo of the state of feeling is given by
oorreepondent of the St Lonis Bepnblioan who,
under data of Deoember 13tb, writes from Ber
lin that at that time there was carpenter work
to the valne of 100,000 thalers to be done for
the military department in Mctx, and that in
that city of 54,000 inhabitants there waa not
single man to be fonnd who would undertake to
do even tba smallest part of it at any price.
A Carrrai. Coiirajrr.—We have not, as yet,
had the pleasure of witflfiasing any of the per
formances of the Katie Pntnam company, bnt
concurrent testimony, both pobllo and private,
is to the effect that it la one of the best that baa
appeared in Ibe South ninoe the war. Daring
the last week it played to splendid houses st
Augusts, closing on Saturday night an engage
ment eminently ancceMful; and a private letter
to one of the editors from an old playgoer, and
oeoaalonal dramatio critic, assures us that the
TauKiairn awn Mxaamroxs may so commend
them to its readers. We take great pleasure in
speaking these good words for the company, and
trust large and appreciative audiences, daring
their stay here, may prove that they have not
been unheeded Dae notioe of the bill for each
successive evening, will be found every morn
lng in our advertising columns.
S ol. I roliri’s Address.
In oonaeqnenes of tha detention of the train,
this gentleman failed to arrive in time to fill
his appointment last evening.
It is annonnoed by the Mayor, however, that
he will oertainly address tha people of Maoon
to-night, at the City Hall, npon the grand
project whiob ought so deeply to interest them.
We trust the beggarly show of empty benches
will not be repeated again this evening.
Shame npon anoh apathy and lack of sympathy
on the part of our citizens.
Itlcrccr University litilldingti
Wo give plaoe with pleasure to Jndge Clarke’s
explanation of the seeming delay attending the
projeolion and completion of the several edl-
flota which will be needed for the institution.
Months were required for the elaboration of
the architectural designs, whioh are unique in
character and exceedingly beautiful. Macon
will have eauae to be prund of her oollege and
oourt-bonae, both tho offspring of tho same
teeming brain. Every impediment to the loo*
t ion and rapid progress of the jrork baa now been
removed, and it may be expected to go forward
with all practicable oelerity.
The New Nenntor from lotrn.
Tho groat North American Present Taker re
oelved a heavy lick, indeed, in tho defeat of
Harlan for ro election aa Senator. Harlan had
been one of the moat servile, thick and thin of
all Grant’s Senatorial supporters and was, be.
sides, a special pet of the Northern Methodists.
Aa a corruptionist be wse notorious, enjoying
the preeminent shame of having suddenly
leaped from notoriona poverty to great wealth
by his administration cf the Interior Depart
ment.
Taken all in all, he waa a rare specimen of
the “God and mality" office holder, and as each
had tho keen and nnacrnpnlons backing of the
present administration. His successor, Mr. Alii
eon, ia classed as a decided anti-Grant man
and made a very good reputation as a member
of the lower Huns^where he served from 1862
until the close of the last aeasien, when he vol
nntarily withdrew from pnblio life. He was
bom in Ohio in 1829, bnt immigrated to Iowa
in 1857, where be settled at Dabnqne aa a law
yer. He ia a ataanch Iisdiosl, of ooarae, bnt
made of mnch better material, both personally
and politically, than Harlan. We say good bye
to the latter with a feeling of almost personal
satisfaction. The type of politicians he repre
sents is one of the moat loithaome that ever
cursed and plundered a oonntry.
Tbat Financial Convulsion
Prognosticated a month ago,like all ita promised
predeoasaora, since the reign of greenback*,
has cot come. Money in New York Monday
morning was quoted easy at 6—it was riff at 7.
in the evening and firm at 7 Tuesday morning—
bnt the pressure is gone, and these fluctuations
Indicate only a subsiding condition after
period of excitement, and ahow that it there
was any serious danger of a financial storm, it
haa blown over. Affairs, as we predicted a
month ago, will be more easy and prosperous
in a vary short time. There never will or cm
be a regular old fashioned collapse—a financial
tornado, until tha country again attempts a
specie paying currency, famished by a great
multitude of local banka, one of which tumbled
over will set tbe rest going like the boys’ row
of bricks; and all, in the effort to save them
selves are busily engaged curtailing their liabili
ties^ until, it may be, they rednoe the circula
tion fifty per cent in the course of ten days.
There ia tha basis of a general collapse.
Selling CatarnzjV, Fnrnllnrc—TVmsIi-
ington Snobbery.
The Washington Hepu dioan of Saturday haa
an elaborate acoonst of tbe sale the day before
of the furniture—from kitchen to atde-^of Cat-
aoasy, the late Bosaian Minister to this country.
The prices obtained were very high, showing
how mash genuine snobbery there mast be in
Washington fashionable society. Alexis made
tbe minister’s house his borne while at Washing
ton, and that’s what made “Cay’s" furniture—aa
Donn Piatt has it—sell so weU. The Kepsbli-
ean says copper molds and tins brought twice
as much as if porchascd new at any furnishing
store, and every other article had a large per
cent, added. Coffee cups sold for $1 75 each,
and breakfast cops $2 62 each. The articles in
the bed room used by Alexis all realized tie-
mentions prices. “The Tnyawood bodetead,
carved and inlaid, oomplots with bedding, was
bought by Dr. 1. S. A erdi for £90; tbe iu*rb!e
top antique bureau, slyl. Louie XV, was sold to
ex-Seoator CAttell for r- .>. Mad.me Catena,
xy’s odor case and perfume lamp brought §1.7,
and tho Persian rng $36.”
These things go to ahow what a good thing
Catacazy made out of the “t-.-.t society" of
Waahington.
A Proclamation Journal.
The Atlanta Constitution, felicitating i'ae]
on being onoo again “a proclamation journal,'
d ita vi.riue in refusing to print proclama
tion tendimd to it by Gov. Bulloch, say*:
We did this, aa our brethren of tbe press
must bear witness, d.-claiming any rifloctioa
npon those considering the matter in a purely
business light Bnt aitnated at the capital of
the State, we felt it to be our duty to the presa
and Ike people to keep entirely clt ar of all oon-
tact with the vampires Backing the life-blood cf
oar noble old State. We, therefore, clos'd
our oolnmns against the advertisemeat of offi
cial proclamations, that wonld have emptied
thousands of dollars Into onr caffe .-a.
Now we wonld cot poll a single feather ont
of onr contemporary's cap, if we oould. If
there wfi any virtoe displayed in refusing a
legitimate advertisement from Bullock, let the
Constitution have credit for it. In onr judg
ment, however, true rectitude consists not in
refusing legitimate empipvmect in respect to
the character of the employer, so mneh as in
doing one's proper and lawful work fairly.
Shall we then say to onr friend, that in hia
first eaaay as a “prorJimalion jonmal" with the
highest kind of “high moral Ideas,” be haa
spread ont the proclamation to nearly double
the space it should occupy, either in respeet to
a reasonable degree of prominence, or grace-
fnlneea in appearanoe, by interjecting three
Lads between each line and huge spaces under
tbe heads and between each paragraph—in
order, apparently, to be able to charge just
twice as mnoh as tbe work properly done would
be worth?
Of ooarae, other pi pen copying from his
columns, aa the official proclamation journal,
will have the exease of his example, and thus
tha total coat of advertiaing the Governor's
proclamations will be swollen about a hundred
per eent. more than it ongbt to be.
Now it strikes ns tbat here is a ease where
a principle ia involved about whieh there cannot
be the slightest doubt, and aa unchangeable in
ita character aa the everlasting hills—the prin
ciple of dealing fairly by the Bute, and patting
her to no needless and onprofiuble expense.
We speak on the presumption that the SUte
authorities, in ordering this proclamation print
ed in the Constitution, did not order tbat it
should be swollen ont by extra and needless
space, beyond iU natural and proper length.
If an order for this apace waa made, of ooarae
the Constitution should have obeyed it, as a
dotifnl tradesman, however mneh be might
donbt iU propriety. But it this unnatural ex
pansion ia tbe mere suggestion of a desire to
make tbe ebarge twice aa great as it should be—
we respectfully submit to the Constitution
whether this is, on tbe part of “a paper ailua-
ted at the capital of the Bute,” a good example
to leas elevated brethren—whether for tbe sake
of patting “thousands of dollars into hia own
coffers," not on the order of tbe Governor for
blank space, (for which, aa in the ease of Bul
lock, the Constitution wonld not be responsible),
bnt on bis own mere suggestion, to double hw
own ebarge, although it might involve many
similar doublings and make tbe Stale pay a
good deal of money for waste paper, of no nse
to anybody. He has displayed that high devo
tion to principle we should naturally look for
in bis caae.
In all friendliness we snbmit to the Constitu
tion and every other print whieh has lsbort d
to set np a false standard of pnblio virtne,
whether here ia not a real point of morals, and
whether the State is not entitled at their hands
to such a pnhlication of the Governor's orders
and proclamations as shall comfort with neatness
and good taste, and involve her in no needlees
charge. That is onr morality and honor in re
lation to this point—and if Gov. Soott, of Booth
Carolina, should send ns an advertisement to
morrow, unexceptionable in charaoler, we
wonld print it fairly and render a bill at regu
lar rates. We should not feel called on to go be
yond bis order and inquire into tbe purity of
bis administration.
We are qnite aware tbat tbis is s small mat
ter. Tho printing of offioial proclamations un
der Gov. Smith is not likely to be a heavy
business, bat large or small tbe State is enti
tled to fair dealing.
Siimplanry Inn*. -
Tbe tendency to enact and force upon the
oonntry, there monstrous infringements of con
stitutional and psrsonal rights, forms one of
the strongest barriers to real progress. They
are tbe eonneeting links between modern re
form, and tbe dark intolerant days of the me-
dimval ages.
In tbe early period of New England’s history,
when pnritunic.il cant, biblical cognomens,
lugubrious visages, and tbe stake and faggot
were substituted for tbe gentle teachings of our
holy faith, these merciless and tyranioal edict 8
flourished universally. The argumentum ad
hominem—persecution and death—and tbe most
extravagant phantasies usurped tbe throne of
reason, and tbe blessed precepts of Christianity.
It waa tbe hangman or pnblio executioner
who eombsted sorcery and witchcraft, and not
au open bible snd the power of divine truth.
In these latter-day times, temperance outstrip
ping godliness, enters the ring, snd seeks to
propagate its tenets with tbe sword and fatten
of tbe law, and not by tbe innate ftrengtb ot
ita own worth and excellence. Hence the cru
sade upon distilleries; prohibitory atatntes;
and tbe persecution which rages in some States
of tbe Union against the venders and imbibers
of spiritual liquors. .
Now we would not be understood as antago
nising in tbe least with this cardinal virtoe,
which, next to godliness, is tbe most essential
to man. Bat we snbmit that tbe greater con'
tains the lesser—snd piety includes temper
ance also, in ita requisitions. If then, public
opinion is opposed to inculcating religion by
statnte, or even to the nnion of chnrch and
State, how mneh more should we refrain from
legislating in behalf of any moral principle
which ia based simply npon wordly founda
tions of propriety and expedience. Let us up
hold temperance then, and preach, and prac
tice it too, bnt abstain from any violont props
gation of its doctrines. Snch measures must
uredly defeat the proposed end. The “blood
of the martyrs" proved the “seed of tbe
church," and paradoxical os it may appear,
even in the ordinary concerns of life, undue
and excessive opposition increase*, rather than
abates any given enl. Let ns be temperate in
onr temperance then, to prevent that reaction
whieh tbe contrary coarse will inevitably pro-
dneo. Above all, beware of the folly of at
tempting to elevate a human institution, to the
dignity snd position of God's sacred ordinan
ce*. The one is of the earth, earthy; the
others emanate from the throne of the Excel
lency on High.
These remarks were suggested by the action
of the Georgia Home of Representatives, j n
stinking out of the tax bills special impost upon
quors, whieh was reported yesterday. We are
glad the Empire State does not pattern after
fanatical Maine, or pnritanioal Massachusetts,
in this respect Government has nothing to do
with what we eat, or drink, or wear. An eda-
osted and wholesome morality should alone reg
olate all such qnastions.

Receipt* and Prices —The receipts this week
(says the Chronicle) are small. This in attrib
uted in part to the troubles at Now Orleans,
bnt mainly to a short crop. Of course, the old
cry that the planters are holding back thei- cot
ton is everywhere heard. Undoubtedly tbis is
true, if we are to understand by “holding back”
simply tbat the cotton does not come forward as
freely aa it did in December, or as freely as it
will again soon, for tbe reason that, at the close
of the old year and the beginning of the new
year, tbe frredmen are net at work in fall
force. Bat this is the cue every year, and, as
far as we can learn, compared with previous
seasons, is so to no greater extent now. Un
doubtedly there are planters, and very likely
in particular sections, a considerable number
who are indisposed to let their cotton go; that
clou always does and always will exist. But
prices sre satisfactory, the 'time to get ready
for another crop has arrived and we believe
that Southerners take tbe common sense view
of securing the bird in the hand, snd will lot
spinners, both at home and abroad, take all
they want at abont present rates.
And in this view we think they sre right.
When cotton was at 15 cents, we said it was too
low; again, when it had reached 19 cents, we
raid it was too low; bnt at 22} cents the ques
tion become* more complicated as new forces
begin to set. Not that prices may not go higher.
Very likely they still, for wo cannot expect the
npward movement to be stopped the moment
the propelling power is removed. Bnt, as we
have considerable cotton to maiket, it would
seem to ns to be the part of wisdom to let it ont
st present rates as rapidly as the world chooses
to take it. For there are certain facta wo mast
remember: 1. That s very large arts of oot-
ton is likely to be planted tbis year, not only
here bnt also in every cotton- b rowing country
in the world. Of course this will not avail for
a present supply, but the prospect of a largely-
increased crop will have a tendency to check
any great rise in goods, eonsnmtrs prefering to
economise for a short time in the expectation of
soon getting very mneh lower rates, and if goods
do not advance very materially, spinners mast
certainly soon take to short time. 2. Then
again 6ucb high pnees will tend to hasten for
ward tbe India crop and draw ont of that coun
try and every other cotton country, as the sea
son advances, every available bale. Tbis will
help ont the supply, and although it will not be
the American staple, it will, to a considerable
extent, relieve the situation. 3. That, if we
enter npon tbe late spring months with a heavy
stock, with very favorable crop accounts and
with the India cotton poshed forward early, we
might be oompelled to accept comparative low
rates. Bat if we keep oat stock small we shall
continue to keep control of the market.

For solid considerations, which it would have

in mind that in enterprises of this character
there sre often questions of policy snd inter-
eat which none have such opportunity to un
derstand sa those upon whose shonlders rests

of this consideration, they will not nnjtutly

AsDrcirso a Got. ‘to Save Hie Bo cl."—An
extraordinary caae of abduction was tried oa
December 19, before the Assize Court of Havre,
Franoe. A priest (the Abbe Vitet) and two
nuns were accused of taking away from her pa
rents a girl of fifteen years and a half of age,
named Louise Prevest. Two English women,
named Mary and Caroline Pope, whose respec
tive places of birth are stated in the legal jour
nals to be “Turnohater” and “Plymstock," were
indicted, together with the priest and the nuns,
out they escaped from the arreet warrant
against them, and are supposed to be in Eng
land. The priest, who was tbe confessor of the
yonng girl, pleaded the secrecy of confession in
bar of many questions asked of him, and the
Court entirely admitted the validity of this
pies. But out of the pale of knowledge which
only came to him through confession, he ao-
ccsed both the father and mother of the girl of
having acted to her from the age of thirteen in
a way which put her “honor and virtne” in
peril. The priest admitted having acted against
civil law, bnt said he only took the girl away
from her father to “save her sonL" The yonng
girl herself gave evidence against her parents
which folly tore out the story of the priest and
the nuns. The pnblio proseentor strove for a
conviction, bat tbe jury justified tbe priest, the
nuns, and tbe English girls who have fled, by
verdict of acquittal.
Tribute or Respect.
Hunter Lodge No. 134, 1
filarahallville, Ga., Jan. 13, 1872.)
The scythe of time has entered our mystic
circle, and our worthy brother, John A. Sperry,
has been ent down. On tbe 29th day of De
cember, 1871, death's icy hands rested upon
him, and he has departed from the scenes of
earth forever. We shall never more, in the
Lodge below, behold his gemal face, hear his
fraternal voice, or reciprocate his cordial greet
ing. With hearts foil of sorrow at the loss of
onr brother, and of sympaihy for his bereaved
family, wo deem it appropriate to offer this last
tribute to his honored memory. Therefore,
Resolved,
L That, by the death of Brother J. A. Sper
ry, our Lodge sustains the loss of one of its
worthiest members, society a valuable citi
zen, tbe chnrch an hnmble and devoted Chris
tian, and his family a kind and affeotionate
husband and father.
2. While we deplore his loss, we humbly bow
to tbe sad dispensation cf Him who in wisdom
and mercy performs all his acts, and we rejoice
in the bright testimony and assurance left by
onr lamented brother, that he has obtained the
promises and fonnd an entrance through the
gate into the temple and city of our God.
3. That a oopy of these resolutions be spread

Grant and Colf«* to bo tbe Ticket Again—
Brother Greeley Sot Uanaonlom.
Under date of Satnrday the Courier-Journal
has a special from Washington, to the following
effect:
The Republican Senators snd members of the
Republican National Committee which has jnst
ended its session seem to very generally agree
that ibe Philadelphia Convention will transact
sll its business in one day by the renomination
of Grant and Colfax, adopt a platform and re
turn home. It is assumed tha: there will not be
as much division OTer the Vice-Presidency as
there was at Chicago, and that Mr. Colfax will
be nominated on the second ballot. Senator
Wilson and Speaker Blaine sre the only candi
dates now mentioned, and they appear to have
little or no strength outside of their own States.
Nevertheless it is confidently asserted that Mr.
Colfax is weak in tho West, and will be unable
to secure the delegation even from his own
State. The absence of Greeley from the meet
ing of the committee yesterday excites general
comment, as he represented the SUte of New
York, while it strengthens tho report that the
Tribune will not support the nominees of the
Philadelphia Convention provided Grant is one
of them.
We guess brother Greeley will “spit upon
the platform” and rage and roar as he did in
1652, but—swallow Grant as he did Scott.
It is now reported that a secret investigation,
set on foot by Ben Bailer, snd whioh has been
in progress more than a year past, has resulted
in showing that the government has been de
frauded out of at least thirty millions of dollars
during the past sixyearst The frauds ooourrvd
mainly in the collection of the internal revenue.
A Washington correspondent says that tbe re
port will be made public in a short time, and
wiU develop official corruption ten-fold more
I startling than ia charged npon Tammany.
