T.l New York Sun, speaking of tbe platform
adopted hy tbe Ohio Republican convention,
taka: “Can tbe Republican party oarry the
Northern State, this fell on snob a platform ?”
That ia what no fellow oan find out; bnt tbe St.
Loai. Republican thinks it will depend alto-
gather upon the extent to wbioh tbs patriotlo
roter of the greet, free and enlightened North
ia enthused by the stirring appeal of a five dollar
note.
A Goon Ruolution.—It has been charged

An 0u> LiNDHiSK —Tbe removal of tbo
loser of tho old New York poat-offioe was oom-
meueid last week. It was bnilt in 1727, by tho
Knickerbocker*, tbe stone of which It la made
biviog been brought from Hclland. Daring
the Revolution tho tower was nsed to wateh the
movements of tbe British. In later years It
•erred as a bell tower for tbo fire department.
The oalls are three and a half feet in thickness.
Although nearly a century and a half old, they
ire u firm as when first cemented.

ytu it said to be at tbe rate of thirty tbonaand
per annum. It costa on an average forty-five
dollars to bring each Chinaman from Hong
Kong to Bin Franciaoo. Tbe employment of
the Chinese ia no longer reUrioted to mental
•ervtoa in Ban Franolaoo. They are being in-
troduoed into many of tbe trades, and form an
important element in mercxnlilo circles. This
Mm petition leads tho mercantile olassos to join
the workmen tn legislation to excindo them
from the State of California.
Barm Tnas.-rr is New Yoke.—Among the
■auy plena for rapid transit Id New York the
bleat la * system of travelling sidewalks. Tbe
plaa b lo build an endless movable platform on

from large a'.etionery steam engines under

devn aaotber at the rate of nineteen miles an
konr. Passengers are to l>e taken on or off tbe
pblfonn by means of transfer oars, without
•topping tbe movrment of tbe sidewalk.
A Pix-STmiaN Ciuin.—Tbe Moderator of
tka Baltimore General Asiembly was seated in
* chair that is u sort of heirloom of Presbyte-
riaabm. It was n.ed in the famous Synod of
Port in 1618, when deputies from England and
th* Reformed Chnroh in Europe tried to recon
cile the doctrines of Lather. Calvin and Armin-
iua. A Dot Jb family that emigrated from Hot-
bad brought the chair to Albany, N. Y., in 1C50.
It bat been banded down from generation to
(mention as a precious heirloom, until it was
kajueatbad to tbe Rev. Dr. Cbosier, of Albany,
abost sixty years ago, and from him it was
tnuaferred to the present owner, a Presbyte
ries gentleman of Baltimore.
Etixrnso Cnusca PaopxaTr.—The question
el exempting church property from taxation ia
>P before tbe Oocstitntional Convention of
Ohio, and an effort will be made to limit tbe
t*xnt exempted to $5,000 or $18,000 for each

Tbe President’s Diplomacy.
Commenting, under Ihis head, upon tbe re-
oent appointment by Grant of CoL George
Williamson, of Louisiana, as Minister to the
Central American States at tbs eomfortabla
salary of $10,000—the said Williamson having
been a red-hot South Carolina seoeaaionlst, a
Colonel in the Conf ederate army, and a straight-
out Democrat, who turned R deal beoanse the
Democrats of Louisiana would not endorse him
as their candidate for Governor—the St Loot*
Republican says:
High bids are made for promlnAt Confed
erates, not as reernita for the Republican party,
bnt as personal adherents of President Grant,
and as the nucleus of a new power In tbe Bomb.
They ere not asked to profess Republican prin
ciples, for tbe President himself was not a.ked
to do so, and only premised to have no poliey
of bis own, when first nominated. It is cot
their cue to profess conversion and provoke tbe
comment, “Unprired are her sons nntil they’ve
learned to betray.” They are to be nltra Dem
ocrats, opposed to fusion with Liberal Bepnbli-
oana, but, to all intents and purposes, Grant
Democrats, enj vying tbe favor and patronage
of a RepnMican administration. All of which
may mean nothing and imannt to nothing, bnt
to casual observers It conveys tbe impression
that oertain ieadieg airings are broken, and that
tbe President ia, duriDg bis second term, inen-
batmx a policy cf bis own, and for bis own
bent fit. He accepted bis first nomination more
like a dictator than a suitor and his. docility
daring his first term enabled him to dictate
absolutely bis second nomination. Now that
be ia iD for four years more, and baa had bis
salary doubled, be knows very well that, with
tbe patronage at his disposal, be is master of
tbe situation. He will be the servant of tbe
party just ao long as tbe party serves his pur
pose and does not cross bis path. For a year
past bis Southern appointees have been con-
di mned with remarkable frankness by tbe lead
ing organs of tbe parly, bat be has not listened.
He burled his Louisiana poliey with defiant
emphasis into the teeth of a timid Oongre s as
bfa only reply to lit oensnre, and Alexander H.
Stephens has been as ready to apologize for the
President’s oonrgo in that matter as tbe New
York Times. On the whole, it is probable that
if Mr. Grant Is permitted to go on in this way,
propitiating witb official sugar plums tbe prom
inent confederates and hard-shell Democrats of
tbe South, tbe leading Republicans who under
take lo fix up tbe elate for the next term will
find themselves as completely at hla mercy as
they have been for two elections past.
Wa think the Republican states tbe ease too
strongly as to Mr. Btephens. While he has in.
deed defended Grant in a manner that baa as
tonished as much as it has pained hia friends,
he has never stooped to the low, servile plane
of the Times. The Bepnblican does Mr. Steph
ens mnob injustice by the comparison. Tbe
Times’ brsxen, lick-spittle partisanship, and
the boundless meanness and mendacity of every
body connected witb It who writes on Southern
aflairs, is its own and only paralieL
TOE GEORGIA PRESS.
Tbe Negroes In Louisiana.
The New York Sun has sent an interviewer
down into the Orescent Oity, who comes across
an enterprising and sensible darkey and has a
long talk on tbe situation in that State. Here
is part of the conversation:
“Is there any indisposition among the whites
to sell yon land?”
“ So, sir; dey likes to when dey gits a good
oolored buyer.’’
" Are many oolored people bnylng land ?”
Well, no, sir; dey gits bit wid polities, an’
every one nr dat sort wants a' office, and dey
leaves de oonntry an' olnater in towns till hun
ger an' nakedness drivoa 'em to decotton patob;
bat right smart of ’em np onr way la gifting
tired of dit and ia settling down to work.”
“I)j your people eend ibeir children to
school ?”
“Well, I can't say as dey does much; dey
needs 'an on do ootton patob; an', den, we baa
very poor teachers; dey is moetly dose broken
down politicians nv de towns, an’ dey often do
more barm an’good.
Witb a sorrowful consciousness tbit this was
too true, I turned awsy.
Tbe Snn man says It Is tbo “year of Jubilee
down there.” Tbe city darkies parade tbe
streets with silver mounted pistols and pearl
bandied daggers and bowie knives, and wear
on their shirt bosoms many diamonds and
qnartx imitations of tbe same. Tbe Superin
tendent of Education for the State is a mnlatto

Seoretary of State * oornfield negro, who
speaks in plantation dialect. The general of
tbe “melisb” is an Afrloan Anak with timber
enough in him to make two Solouquea while
colored senators, representatives and judges
employ themselves in drives “on de shell road
and at de dabs,” which are numerous. In
short, the situation is highly satisfactory—to
Grant and Casey.
Liability of Railroads—Important
Decision.
Elsewhere will be fonnd qiito an important
dedsion on this point. Mrs. Lsoy, of Whit
field oonnty, sued tbe Seims, Rome and Dal
ton Railway for damages resalting to her from
the killing of her husband in Alabama. The
first time the case came before the Supreme
Court it held that an action against the road
would not lie In Georgia for inj ones dope in
Alabama, without alleging in tbe pleadings
that the Alabama law would givo damages.
Tbe oase wont back to the oourt below where
tbe pleadings were amended in accordance with
tbe deoision. At this late trial the oourt de
cided that it must administer Alabama law just
as the courts of that State would, and as the
Alabama law requires suit to ba brought within
year from the date of the injury sustained,
and also that tho suit must be brought by the
personal representative of the party killed as
such representative—neither of whioh condi
tions were complied with in this case—no recov
ery can be had.
Genuine Nxoso MiNsinn-s.—The appearance
of the troupe of gecuino Southern plantation
negroes, known as the “Jubilee Singers,” in
London, has awakened great enthusiasm in that
city. Tho first ooneert was given under the
presidency of the Eirl of Shaftesbury, who
britfly explained the purpose of the professional
visit of the Jubilee Minstrels. In the
presence of a highly fashionabio and
critical eudiecoe, filling every portion of
the apaoe available, the negro vooalists, with
their simple minstrelsy, produoed an effect
which, according to the critios, not one among
the assemblage is likely soon to forget. The
hushed attention and tho frequently moistened
eye were perhaps to be regarded as more valua
ble tributes to the power they exercised than
tbe unusually vehement plaudits which invited
repetition of nearly every piece set down in
the programme. All tho critios agreed In say
ing that nothing like the plantation songs of
tho singers had ever been heard before in the
oonntry, and that the entertainment afforded
the tndience the inxnry of an entirely new sensa
tion. On the afternoon following their first con
cert the singers went to Argyll Lodge, and there
performed before a distinguished party, which
included the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, tho
Duke and Duchess of Northumberland and
Dean Stanley. 'While the entertainment was
proceeding, the Queen oame to the Lodge, and
Gee minstrels had the honor of singing several
song* before her. Her Majeety expressed grat
ification with what she heard.
Tbe Cnvscn c? Esolisd.—A balance-sheet
of the revenues and expenditures of the Church
of England, which is official by virtue of the
approval of the Archbishop of Canterbury, has
recently been issued, and gives some interesting
facts relative to the financial operations of this
great religions establishment. The most re
liable statistics show that the membership of
the ohuroh ia about twelve millions. The av
erage annual reoeipts are over $50,000,000,
which are derived from the following source*:
Endowments, $21,000,000; State aid, $2,500,-
000; parochial collections, $16,000,000; and
miscellaneous contributions and reoeipts, $10,-
500,000. Thi* fund ia expended as follows:
Maintenance of the o'ergy, $20,500,000; educa
tion of the poor, $13.000,000; church institu
tions, foreign missions, church building, etc.,
$14,500,000. Coder the head of olerical main
tenance, th* two archbishop*, twenty-six bish
ops and seventy arohdeaoom, reeeive $692,780.
There'are thirty deans, one hundred and twenty-
eeven canons, one hundred end twenty minor
gjx hundred singers, and others, who
oast $1,080,025. In addition to these, there
are 13,041 rectors and vioarm, and 5,706 curates,
whose aervioei amount to $15,730,255, or an
kT orage salary of about $640 apieoe.

“Must Hunt Heb Owe Hive”—Siys the
OoviDgton Enterprise:
Young men who oontemplste matrimony
with the expectation of “ living with the old

worthy farmer who has several lovely daughters
was asked by one of these “home hunters,”
if “Miss Mary marries will she still live at yonr

The Atlanta Herald says the lessees of the
Bute road at their late meeting not only "n»ui
moosly sustained Gen. McRae, hut enlarged his
powers and strengthened his authority, and that
in the exerelse of that authority he dismissed
several official* of the road as soon aa the lessees
had acted. It says that the lessees also sustained
Mr. Soofieid, and decided that the road should
purchase his iron as long as he furnished good
iron. It also states that Mr. Waitzfelder—for
merly Gov. Brown's partner—purchasing agent
of the road in New York, h&g resigned his place
The Bainbridge Sun-whioh we have seen it
stated was to be sold at sheriff's sale—says Gen.

The Golnmbna Enquirer has taken to report
ing the aermons of the various preachers of that
oity. From its report of the Rev. Dr. Key’s
sermon last Sunday, we extract the following:
In summing up the reverend gentleman gave
aa his firm conviotion that all men are now
morally bound to giro one tenth or their Inoome
annually to tho support of the church and its
institutions. Nothing less will be asoepted on
the part of God as a foil discharge of duty. If
the Jewish Church In her restricted operations
require this much, certainly the Almighty would
acoept nothing leas for the Christian Charch.
with a mneb broader basis cf operations. Man
as a steward holds all property in trnst, and
God as a proprietor, has a perfect right to claim
what is neoessary for tho furtherance of bis
oeuse and Kingdom. Man most not say he can
not afford to give so mneh. God oan very
easily enforoo the payment, as tho sendiDg of
tbe tempest or the withholding of a shower or
two will more than secare the demand. Those
who come fully up to duty need havener fear of
want for God's providenoe will oertoinly take
cue of them. He exhorted his congregation
to ponder well the lesson of the hour.
Stbucx bt Liohtniso.—The Savannah News
says during the heavy thunder storm on Mon
day in that oily, lightning atruok the main and
mizenmast of a schooner and passed through the
open hatchway. The masts were destroyed and
the mate and a sailor prostrated and badly sinu*
ned.
The Savannah Advertiser says the Hayes
place, a valuable property situated at the inter,
section of the White Blnff road and the Atlan
tic and Gnif Railroad, was entirely destroyed
by fire on Monday night. It belonged to Mr.
C. J. Hall, and was not insured.
That's Bioht.—Tba following from the At
lanta Herald has our hearty endorsement:
Quartermaster General Meigs having decided
that all processions had a right to enter the
oemetery at Arlington on decoration day, thus
>iving to the friends and relatives of tbo Oon-
ederato dead a chance of paying tribute to their
loved and lost ones, the Secretary of War has
rendered bis decision and declared that for the
day tbo cemetery is under the control of the
Grand Army of the Republio which has per
emptorily forbidden any decoration of Con
federate graves. We do not object to this at
all. How any good Confederate conld be will
ing to nnite with such a pack of miserable
wretobes as ruu the Grand Army machine we
cannot imagine. Let tbe cowards have their
decoration to themselves by ail means. It is
not by means of flowers that Southern men re-
member tbe heroes who died for them. Such
contemptible conduct as that of this Grand Army
of dastards only impresses upon their minds a
memory of the dead heroes more tender and
more ineffaceable.

says:
The Kino Estate—Isjckotioks in the Supe-
biob Court.—Yesterday B. J. Moses had filed
in tbo Superior Court three bills for injunction
one for D. L. Roberta, one for Ed Kerniker,
and one for J. D. L. Murphy, of Harris oonnty.
The latter is for nrarly $1,500 in gold, and
claimed by the wife of Representative Murphy.
Tbe olaims amount to some $5,000. The object
is to restrain tbe assignees from using these,
which are claimed as trust funds, as the money
of Mr. John King, out of which to pay tho 20
per cent, dividend to the general creditors. We
understand that if these injunctions are granted
they will not prevent the assignees from con-
tinning to pay the 20 per oent. dividends ont of
othsr funds, but these trust funds would, how
ever, be set aside to abide the farther order of
the court in the premises. Another bill was
filed by Msjor R. J. Moses as a stockholder in
the Steam Colton Mills to prevent the assignees
from selling said property for fifteen days, so
that an application might be made to the United
States Court to set aside the sale nnder whioh
Mr. John King holds title and have the same
resold for tbe benefit ef the Steam Cotton Mills
Company, to whom said property beloegr. The
injunctions are to be heard to-day at 12 o'clock
befote Judge Johnson.
Chatham Superior Court was ooonpied aU^dsy
Monday with the case of the bondholders of the
Bmnswiok and Albany railroad Ti the road.
The Advertiser says:
Quite a lengthy argument was had in this ease,
which ia brought up here upon an order of the
jndge to argue the legal points In order to facil
itate tbe proceeding In this case. The attorneys
in the case are Jndge O. A. Lochrane, who rep*
seDts the foreign bondholders to the amount of
$1,958,000; Cols. A O. Baoon andT. J. Sim
mons, who represent the American bondholders
to the amount of abont $840,000. The road is
represented by Jndge Wm. M. Sessions. The
argument was conducted yesterday by Col. Ba-
con In the interest of the American bondholders,
and will be concluded to-day by Jndge Luchrane
in the interest of the foreign bondholders, who
elaim that they hold bonds on the finished por
tion of the road, which is 172 miles, as against
the American bondholders. The order to argne
tbe case was issued for the pnrpoee of settling

Washington Irving.
We find in the Jana nnmber of the Southern
Magazine a charming aooonnt of a visit to
Sonny Bids, the home of Irving, a short time
before the death of the great American author
and humorist. The visitor—sod author of the
artiole—ia John Eaten Cooke, now filling for
* distinguished station in American
literature. We are glad to ase that Mr. Cooke
has beoome a contributor to the Southern Mags,
line. As master of a very fine style, inclusive
of even the somewhat rare accomplishment of
entire aoetxracy in the use of our “vernacular,”
and with a high order of literary ability, his
contributions will not fail to give the Magazine
additional eclat.

Internal Revenue Receipts.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue, says
a Washington special to the Louisville Courier-
Journal, is in exoeUest spirits over the receipts
of the bureau for the current year ending 30th
June next. His estimates for the fiscal year
were $110,000,000, and tho deficiency is cnly
$6,500,000, wh'ch he thinks will be easily sup
plied in the five weeks remaining. The re.
oeipto for May up to yesterday were nearly
$10,000,000, and if they go on at this rate the
monthly reoeipts will be over $13,000,000. Mr.
Douglas thinks that he will collect from one
hundred snd twelve to one hundred and fifteen
millions daring the fiscal year, which he rightly
says will be a very handsome result. Some por
tion of this revenue consists of remnants from
repeated laws, suoh aa legacies and sccces
sion*. Tbete amounted in 1872 to twelve
millions, and this year to only five or six mil
lions. This cic 338 of revenue ovet estimates
Mr. Dongl&s attributes obit fly to the working
of the present tobaooo tax, whioh Congress con-
eohdated at twenty cants per pound, betog aa
actual reduction of twenty per cent, on tbe
former tax. The bureau expected to lose from
three to six millions nnder tbis head, but the
lose proves to be only abont half a million dol

Condition of Colton Claims.
The foliowing is the true status of ooiton
matters in the Treasury, and is drawn from offi
cial sources: The United States dating the war
seized ootton to tho amount of 166,000 bales,
and released 10.000 bales. The total amount
sold wm 156.000 bales, the gross prooeeds of
whioh ware $43,000,000. The amonnt released
by the Secretary of the Treasury from this snm
■as $6,000,000. The expense incurred by Gov
ernment officers in shipping the cotton from the
South was $9,000,000. The miscellaneous ex
penses, being money paid lawyers and inf ormers
in order to defeat olaimants, was $2,000,000,
all of which was paid ont of the prooeeds ot
this property, which in large part was stolen.
The net prooeeds are, therefore, $26 000.000.
Sait has been brought in the Cotut of Claims
for 92,000 bales, of whieh there has been reject-
ed or dismissed 23,000 bales, leaving 67.000
bales; and tbis, deducted from the 156.000 bales
above stated, leaves acclaimed at tbis time
$89,000. Judgments b&ve been rendered in tbe
C inrt of Olaims in the last eight years for $5,-
000,000, leaving a bulscoe still in the Treasury
of $21,000,000, of wbioh the great bulk is said to
have been taken after tho war ended. The ex
penses of shipping octton paid ont of the proceeds
of the sale, were over 20 per cent., and ongbt
not to have been over three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars instead of six millions. The ootton
was sold at leas than two-thirds of its value,
The Coart of Claims have established a role to
return at the rate of only $1 76 currency fornp
land ootton, and $2 31 currency for 8ea island
ootton. Under the law passed abont a y err ago,
the department has so far paid only one small
claim of $3,500 due to a loyal sonl who lives in
the f jrtnnato State ot Massachusetts.

Trice's History ot Eoglish Litera'nre has
been btfore the publio but a brief period to
have attained the acknowledged distinction of
being the be6t work on the subject. We Imagine
all of onr readers have perused the work—or
will do so very speedily. An elegant steel en
graving of thia distinguished author appears in
the last (Jane) No. of the Eclectic Magazine, ao
oompanied by a blographioal skotoh cf nnoom-
mon interest. We glean from it that M. Talne
was born on the frontier of Champagne,
(France,) in 1823, and that he has pursued liter
ature as a profession for the greater portion of
hta life. Hi. published works (English transla
tions,) which msy be had of E. R. Felton AOs.
N. Y., are: 1. “Notes on England;" 2. On In
telligence ; 3 Italy; 4. Ideal in Art;' 5. Art in
the Netherlands; C. Art in Greece, and lastly,
Eoglish Literature.
Tho other contents of tbe Jane Eclectic are
the highest merit and interest, embodying
tbo very cream of the onrrent periodical litera
ture in the Old World and the New. No one
can keep np with the rapid literary progress ot

Tbe Moon.
The physical condition of the earth’s satellite
continues to evoke soientifio observation and
disoovery. In the “Bcienoe” department of
that best American monthly, the “Atlantio
Monthly," of Boston, wo find a most interesting
summary of the latest phase of information
oonoerning that orb which poets are prone to
style the “Queen of Night" Prof. Winohell,
of the University of Michigan, in a recent pub
lication explains the progress and present con
dition of poor old lifeless Luna. Nothing is
more oertain than her destitution of air and
water; hence, of all animal life, unless we may
suppose that tbe inoonoeivabiy intense degree
of cold prevailing in the moon has frozen the
water, and even the atmosphere, of tho moon
into a solid mass. That the moon once had an
atmosphere and water very similar to onr world
is also shown; and it is fairly iuferible that it
wr3 then inhabited by beiDg3 similar to those
of earth. The inference is presented that onr
earth is rapidly becoming cooler, aa did the
moon; bnt being forty-nine times larger than
the mooD, the earth's oooling process is corres
pondingly slower. The moon's lifeless, frozen
fate ia destined, st tome period, to be onrs. So
it is said. Bee the Atlantia Monthly of June.

Annexation ol.Mexico.
A Washington special to some of the North
ern and Western papers says there is very little
reason to donbt that the Administration is ex
ceedingly anxious to bring about the annexation
of the northern provinces of Mexico. Besides
the significant allusions contained in tho Presi
dent's inaugural, there are recent declarations
of opinion by prominent members of the Gov
ernment, all pointing strongly in tbe same di
rection. Some go so far aa to say that the move-
meats of Col. McKenzie were expressly con
trived to bring on a crisis which would lead to
annexation as a solution of the difficulty about
Indian incursions. It is also stated that there
is a grand annexation combination on foot for
sappressing the San Domingo arrangement, and
embracing each leading capitalists and politi-
oians as Ben Bntler, Tom Scott, Delano, John
W. Forney, Simon Cameron, Gen. Babcock and
others, directly connected with the President.
Wbat progress has been made in negotiating
with tbe Mexican Government is not known;
bnt friends of the measure allege that the Mexi
can Government has given its consent. On the
other hand, tbe Mexican Minister here is not
regarded aa very favorable to the general order
of annexation.
A Sngfeatlon to Fnbllebera.
Mr. John H. Patterson, editor of the Post
Office Bulletin, published at Cincinnati, makes
tbe following suggestion to newspaper publish,
era, which seem to us very timely and sensible,
and whioh all that class will do well to attend
to at onoe:
I desire to suggest to all editors and publish
ers the importance of arranging their exchange
lists before Jane 30th, so that they can present
to ibeir postmaster on that day a printed list of
all the publications with whioh they intend to
exehanga in the future: giving the name of the
publication, the plaoe of publication, and
whether daily, weekly, tri-weekly, monthly or
quarterly. By so doing they will greatly aid
post office officials is making the proper entries
in their books and in making ont oorrect bills
for postage. Unless this to done postmasters
will experience a great deal of unnecessary
trouble in examining exchangee, snd editors
will be subject to great annoyance In having
incorrect bills presented for payment.
