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.

Tbe sidewalk is to bo perpetually ■eviag up one tide of a street or avenne and 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.

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 imperfectly grounded In the rndiments. Tbe 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. A naoEFT of tbs Hindoo law wye, “Strike not, even with a hlneaom, a wife, though (he be , guilty of e hudred feulte.” Miss Mamie Stephens, Birneeville, Georgia, has a letter held for postage in the Savannah poetoffloe.

A 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 home to make your life bright and hippy f He skinned one eye and replied, "No, air. When one of my gais swarms, the must hunt her own hive.” 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. Wright baa no grounds upon which he can “pos sibly think of tuccisifuHy contesting Whiteley’i seat in Congress.” The Sun, whioh we hare also heard Bhines only aa Whileley directs, evi dently relies npon tbe large Radical majority in Congress to do the nsnal thing when Demo crats oontest tbe seats of the trooly loyl. 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. The Columbus Sun, of Tuesday afternoon, 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 all legal points before the case is submitted to tbe jury upon the faots, which will probably be done in a few weeks, his honor Jndge Schley sitting in place of Judge Harris of the Bruns, wiek Circuit. The Atlanta Snn is of the opinion that half the young men and half grown boys of that place cirry pistols in their pockets. 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. it the time of thi* visit—1859—Mr. Irving was 76 years old, and Mr. Cuoks 29. Tbe graphio akttch presents Mr. Irving to us as very aged and infirm in body, but still genial in spirit, locking at the face of beloved Nature with nndiminished zest in hia elegant grounds where Mr. Cooke fonnd him first.

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 lars. The entire result the Commissioner re gards as a very satisfactory vindication of the polioy of the present form of the tobacco tax Tbe new michinery for revenue collection ami assessment only went into operation on tbe 20 Ji of May. The new system of payment of lioenses by stamps snd requiring licenses to be hnog np In plsoes of bname’s, eto, began on tbe let instant, and is reported as working very well ia all quarters. Fatting all these facts together, it is not probable that the Commissioner will in his annual report propose any marked ohsng in the law. BY TELEGRAPH. DAY DISPATCHES. 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. H. Twine. 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.

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. Published by Osgood & Co., Boston, at $4 per annum. W. G. M. 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.
