Wx see a paragraph going the newspaper

Tux total tobaooo crop of the United States
in 1870 was 262,175,341 pounds; in 1860 it was
434,200,461 ponnds; and in 1850 it was 198,-
752,655 pounds. While tho crop was largely
more than doubled during the deoada ending
with 1860, it decreased nearly a third with the
decade ending with 1870. The falling off ia no
doubt due largely to tbe sxeiaa tax levied on it
during tbe war, and still maintained, whioh dia-
eoursgsa the consumption of it.
Tux Vibwa Gibls.—Here is a what a corres
pondent of the Boston Globe has to say of the
Vienna girls: “In faot, under twenty-five there
are no ugly ones; while for every third young
lady one meets, one's heart jnmpa down into
ona’a boots. They are mostly fair, with the
clearest of complexions, bountiful hair and kill
ing eyes; and the tame remarks apply equally
to the servants. I have been iu many oapitals,
but I never was so completely prostrated by ap-
penrsr.ee aa I am here.”
Routed —There were great things expected
of the Illinois farmers in tha late jndioial eleo-
tions in that State. It was supposed their can
didates would sweep tha field, but tha result as
far aa heard from is jnst the reverse. In the
fifth distriot Chief Justice Lawrenoe was repu
diated by the farmers,who put up A. W. MoOraig
but Lawrenoe was re-elected by a handsome
majority. In tho second district Scholfield de
feated tbe farmer’s candidate by a large majori
ty. Tbe farmers seem to have been routed at
all points, but let them pick their flints and try
it again.
Death or Stoxiwaix Jaceson's Cowissebt.
Major Weils J. Hawks died at his residence In
Charlestown, West Virginia, on Wednesday last
Major Hawks was a native of Massachusetts,
but for more than thirty years he had been a
citizen of Virginia. At the commencement of
the late civil war be entered the service of the
Confederate States, aad upon the promotion of
Gan. Jaokson became a member of his staff;
commissary respectively of hit brigade, division
and corps. It will be remembered that just be
fore tbe dasth of Gen. Jackson he was heard to
•ay quickly, “A P. Hill, prepare for action;
tell Major Hawks to send forward provisions
for the troops.” Perhaps tha most comprehen
sive description of Major Hawk’s character is
embraced in the statement that Gen. Jackson
bad entire confidence In him.
Dm> of a Baoxxx Hejlxt.—Sentimental
yonng ladles can find warrant for a copious flow
of tears in this from the Utica Observer of re-
oent date: “A sudden death occurred at Op-
penheim, Fulton oounty, last night. Within
the put year Johans Davis, a stepdaughter of
Solomon Cramer, was engaged to be married to
a man named Swat wont, who married another
weman during the winter. Mira Davis' grief
at this disappointment caused serious mental
and physical affliction. Last evening her
mother and herself saw the jilting lover and his
wife pan by the window. The sight seemed to
affect Mias Davis, and her appearance attracted
her mother’s attention. The young lady, in
response to questions and tears, said: ‘Don't
svy for me, mother; I ehaii die to-night.’ At
10 T. ic. the girl was a oorpae. Ear death was

and Gnat
Canal.
Some friend sends us the Boston Journal of
Commerce of May 31st, whloh devotes a long
and labored editorial leader to black-balling the
Atlanta Governors’ Convention and the Atlan
tic and Great Western Canal, as a new Credit
Mobilier conspiracy and asrindle, which most
be defeated at all oosts. The faot it maintains
was demonstrated by the failure of the Teiraee-
see minority report calling upon tha Qotern-
ment to batld tbe canal—a proposition which
all tbe friends of the scheme knew would bury
It below the hand of resurrection, and was
doubtless submitted with that design.
Tbe opposition coming from Tennessee is
dictated by supposed local interests. They be
lieve a route below the line of their State will
be detrimental to their trade. On the other
hand, the Boston journal of Commerce repre
sents hnge moneyed inveetments in Western
and Eastern railways, and those raUwsys natn-
rally fear the affeet of a new and cheap water
route tor twelve months in the year.
This is the allf&uoe now in prooeu of con
summation to kill the canal and eternalize the
bondage of the Western and Sonth6rn producers
to exorbitant tariffs resulting from overland
transportation—to subsidize both everlastingly
to tho railway interest:
Now the Southern and Western Farmers
compose substantially tha great Agricultural
class of the oonutry, before whioh all others pale
In numbers and practical financial value. This
interest oontrols a voting majority at the ballot
box, and It rests with them sione to say
whethsr they will suffer themselves to be vie-
□mixed in this way, or bring their united
energies to the work of self-def*noe and self
protection. The cause Is indispensable to
their own deliverance and liberty. It means
increased trade at paying rates to all tbe wes
tern producers and It means comparatively
oheap food to tha Southern produoers. It
means prosperity to both sections. Will either
of them halt or fail to put forward their ut
most strength to cany out tha project ?
THE SOUTH CAXOUIA BOND MAUDS
CONFESSED IS COUET.
Comptroller Ho*e Admit* the Existence
® r Vraadalsal Honda, InoaaUar to »7,-
191.700.
The Charleston News and Courier publishes
one of five returns made by Comptroller Gen
eral Hoge to the petition in mandamus filed by
Morton, Bliss A Co.
Hoge, though a Republican, In bis return
says:
This respondent further shows and charges
that, to tha extent at least of 97,191,700, the
aggregate herein above referred to b not the
valid debt of the State, and that the bonds enu
merated in said report, if outstanding, are to
that extent outstanding without the authority
of law; and in view Of this condition of the
public debt, this oourt, if it have jariedictioa to
require this respondent to give notice of a rate
per centum to be levied to pay the interest
upon the public debt, should not order suoh
writ to Issue until an investigation shall first be
had to ascertain what portion of the said aggre
gate of publio debt subsists as tbe valid debt of
tbe State.
This is a plain eonfession, and one which in
spires the News and Courier to urge the utter
repudiation of tha fraudulent bonds.
Quarto Newspapers. /
S The quarto form of publication has been
adopted by dailies in the leading cities (as we
suppose) because It Is more convenient to add
to that sixe of page the supplementary sheets
demanded occasionally by a pressure of news
UDd advertising business. It is not so conven
ient to the reader as the folio form. Another
reason for tbe smeller quarto page may possibly
be the greeter oonvenlense of stereotyping—it
1* easier to take a easting of a small than a
large page, and tbe dailies of New York print
not from type, but from plates. Bat whatever
may be the reason, the quarto Is the fashion of
the large cities, and the ambition of smaller
ones to follow.
A quarto form, however, is not neeaesarily
an cnl irgti form as to the whole sheet. In
the ease of several of the papere whloh have
recently adopted it, the result haa been less
printed matter. This is tine of the St. Louis
Republioan—and also, as we think, of the Bal
timore Gazette. The Teuxoboth, in its pres
ent size, oonld be made into a formidable quar
to with a considerable loss of the matter it now
daily prints. It is the largest dally and weekly
sheet In Georgia, and oarries a very liberal sup
ply of reading matter, whioh we do not oare to
boast about. It apeaka for itself, and we know
satisfies its numerous readers. We print the
weekly in quarto simply because the sheet used
is too large to be manageable conveniently ia
any other form. But in the use of the quarto
there ia a great waate of paper in additional
margins, and where the dimensions of the
sheet are not necessarily very large the folio
newspaper form la far more convenient to the
reader. ,
Batxbridfr, Uuthbert and Colambns
Kail road.
We aro glad to note some symptoms of re
turning life and vigor to this enterprise. The
late sale removed all impediments as to pro
prietorship, eto., out of the way, and the ener-
getio gentlemen who are now interested in the
undertaking will doubtless strain every nerve
to oomplete it. Already an organization has
been effeoted, with Mr. Lowe, of Atlanta, as
President, and tbe Savannah Nows and Atlanta
Sun speak hopefully of its prospects. It should
be borne in mind that tbe road bed has been
very nearly oompleted as far as Colquitt, a
diatanoe of twenty miles, and much of the
other grading botween that point and Onthbert
is also well advanced.
This is one of the projects also to which the
aid of the State is pledged, and as eoou ss the
first twenty miles hava been put in running
order, the owners will call for the first instal
ment of 915,000 per mile in bonds of the State,
whioh will give an impetus to the oonstrnotion
of the remaining sections.
Ws are utterly opposed to State aid, but when
once the faith of tbe commonwealth has bean
plighted, provided the terms of the oontract are
striotly complied with, there is no honorable
escape from the obligation. Tho people of
Bainbridge and Cuthbart are warmly interested
in tbe snoceas of this new Northern route, and
the writer on a recent visit to that region, found
tho new owners very sanguine aa to the future
prospects of the road. Oar best wishes attend
their efforts.
Wet Weather.
We have had rain in Maoon every day since
Sunday and the promise of a wet month Is am
ple. Agreeably to the weather tables published
in our oolumns on the 1st instant, between sev
en and eight inohes of rain fell here during the
month of May, bnt mnoh of that rain was not
of a character to saturate the soil. It cams
down in torrents, and ran off in the same shape.
Thai, notwithstanding all this immense rain
fall, the ground is not, so far, surcharged with
any great excess of water. The showers of the
present are felt more particularly in their inter
ruptions to farm labor and the impetus they
give to grass and weeds in the growing crops.
The farmers are overtaxed already in the effort
to keep their fields clean, and they are like to
have a good deal more labor of the same kind
on their hands than they can accomplish.
Simmer complaints.
We call attention to Mr. Payne's notice sug
gesting a reliable remedy for all the diseases of
the stomaoh and bowels whioh are incident to
iMi season of the year. It oannot be denied
that there is a genera! predisposition here, and
throughout the whole oonutry to affections of
this nature, which in New Orleans and other
communities have even developed into cholera
of a malignant type.
An ounce of preventive ia better than a pound
of cure, says the adage, and every prudent per
son and family will keep on hand a bottle of
Bryant's cholera mixture, or some other remedy
which can be resorted to in au emergency.
Mr. George Payne enjoys an enviable pre
eminence as a skillful and reliable apothecary,
and prescriptions pnt up by him are always
compounded from the purest medicines, and no
one need fair poieoning at his hands through
criminal negligence.
The “Doctor,” as he is familiarly called,
though “rebel" to the backbone, and a true
■on of Dixie, was nevertheless in great request
by Wilson's army of sinners, who, despite his
known proclivities, thronged his drug store ia
quest of some nostrum to cure the codec-
quenoes of their folly and exoese; and the good
man, though sorely tempted to give them a
sure passage to kingdom oome, yet had the
magnanimity to heat their ailments whils pock
eting their greenbacks. Mr. Payne’s name is
tbe synonim of honesty, and his large experi
ence as m druggist has enabled him to discover
many valuable remedies for the diseases of this
climate, whioh he will pat up at reasonable
rates and furnish advice gratis. Remember
his stand, opposite the Palace of Justioe.

Bar. Hr. Beecher ew the Cosiestenotes
The Christian Union, edited by Rev. Henry
Word Beeeber, in en article on the propoeitton
to deok the Confederate graves, whloh was
hissed down by the North with nearly unani
mous indignation, has tbe following whioh we
copy in respect to the general kindness of its
spirit:
We reoognize, of eouree, in tho protest of
these gentlemen a staunch loyalty to their no
tion of a patriotism which la In itself admirable.
Their mistake, as it seems to us, is a misappre
hension of the conditions of the oase both past
and present. They assert, and with truth, that
after victory so dearly bought as oars there
mast be no tampering with the spirit whioh so
nearly oocreame a*. They also assert, and with
error, that honor offered to our enemies’ dead,
or ooaoiliation extended to them living, ia such
tampering. And here we take issue.
There are two aspects of onr late melancholy
war whloh we of the North ongbt never to for
get, and which, practically, we hardly ever re
member. One te the fast that, as a oommnnity,
we did oonsent to the ever growing encroach
ments of slavery, of which war was tbe logical
and inevitable end. Oars was a baser sin than
than that of the South. For the South bed
taught itself to believe that slavery derived ite
strength from the Bible, and it planted itaelf on
the abstraot right of the patriarchal institution.
Supple doctors of divinily supplied it with
scriptural arguments. The churohes, roost of
them at least, did not hesitate to fellowship it.
The whole South, religiously, was as solidly or
thodox as it was solidly slaveholding. In an
enormous agricultural oountry, where tbs
masses oould neither read nor write, and where,
natnraily, the newspapers had almost no part
in the education of the people, it was inevitable
that a few orators and political managers should
control tbe community. So that slavsry, and
the consequent secession were, to a remarkable
degree, the honest cause of the whole people.
And with a splendid oourage and enduranoe
they followed lheir disunion flag to wounds and
death, aa simply and bravely as if it had been
the banner of the Crone and they the old Crusa
ders. They were very ignorant and very wrong,
bat they died for the beet oeuse they knew—
their ides of patriotism.
Bat we who believed slavery to be wrong,
who oould not lore onr oonscieroes to justify
it, still aocepted and enoouraged it through
love of gold and desire of an ignoble peaoe.
We taught the South that it oould not demand
what we should not be found ready to give.
And when, at last, slavery threatened our na
tional life, It was tha instinot of self-preserva
tion rather than any nobler sentiment whiob
prompted reaistanoe. In that golden summer
of ImIO, we went on gatneriDg and spending,
and living taxations lives, c SI bless of the por-
tsots in tbe sky. In tbe early spring of 1861,
it was not only the enemies of tbe Union who
donbted its power to preserve Us own integrity.
It was its friends; the Seoretary of State, the
commnndor-in chief at its army, the great mer
chants and great lawyers—ales! to often the
great preaohers of the great eities. There was
nothing in the attitude of the North, almost up
to the moment of firing on Fort Sumter, to
check the menace of the Sonth. There was
everything to indidate that the Union would
quietly fall apart.
Because we are by no means innocent of the
war, therefore it behoovee ns to apeak temper
ately of our fellow-sinners, however we abhor
our common sin. And we ought never to have
forgotten that, sharing their guilt, we oould not
shut them oat from that redemption for whloh
wo fought. If the objeot of the war were not
a restored and regenerated Union, bet only the
triumph of a late-routed North over an insolent
and defiant Sonth, then their cause was as much
better than onrs ss honest devotion to an ideal,
however mistaken, is better than pnre vindic
tiveness. We have no moral ground to stand
upon, but are guilty of our brother’s blood, un
less we meant to make an offering to Gad of
our national sin, and to free them, with our
selves, from the body of that death.
We lose, then, the only harvest worth the
reaping from the tears and blood that both
sides bo plentifully sowed, if we will not see
our brother in onr enemy, and a common ooun
try in the alien sections. Sober and discreet
travellers in the South, men like Bryant and
the great chief justioe, not easily deceived, tes
tify that they have found everywhere a kindli
ness of feeling whioh wonld be brotherliness if
any answering kindliness encouraged it. If we
are not yet lofty enough to forgive the living,
who themselves have something to forgive in
ns, let ns st least respect the heroism and the
honesty of the dead. They were of our race
and of our kindred. They were not greatly
different from onraelves. Remembering that
we invited, through oowardice or greed, the
war that they plunged ns into through a mad
fanaticism; remembering that only a reunited
and noble Union can justify the awful cost of
blood and agony, shall wa refuse to lay flowers
of kindness on the tnrf that eight yean of
peaoe have nourished ? Let us rather heap it
high with blossoms, and if we bring rue for
bitter mournings let ns not forget rosemary for
sweet remembrance, and pansies for generous
thoughts. _____
The Late General Clanton — Borne
Errors Corrected.
We published on Taesday a statement made
by a Knoxville correspondent of the Atlanta
Herald, to the effect that the widow of General
Gianton had married again, and consequently
tbe oondoct of the proseoution against his
slayer, Nelson, was left to the State’s attorney,
who was a law partner of Nelson’s brother.
The Columbus Sun notioed tho same statement
and replies to it aa follows, with the request
that all papers that published the story will also
publish the denial. It says: ,
We are informed by a connection of the late
General Clanton’s family, and a gentleman we
know wall, that upon Clanton’s assassination
by Nelson, his estate was found to be worth
nothing. Some $3,500 were made up by the
people of Alabama, to buy his widow, who it
tti’l a widow, and in deep mourning for her
husband, a house and lot Mrs. Clanton stiff
owes something on the house. The State of
Alabama has never paid her for the legal ser
vices, rendered by her husband, and daring the
year ot 1871 and 1872 her main support was
from the pay of her two sons, aged 10 and 12
years, as pages in tbe Legislature. The State
of Alabama is to blame for not paying the
widow of General Clanton the amount due him;
which wonld have been willingly spent by her
in proeeonting the murderer of her husband.
ADDRESS FROM GOT. HcEKERT.
He Tlelds to the Dictator, hot Will Use All
legal sad Moral Mesas to Maiatsla His
Nights.
Nxw Toxx, June 2.—A New Orleans special
gives an address of Gov. McEoery, in whioh he
says:
“President Grant as tbs Chief Magistrate of
the nation, has assumed the high and grave re
sponsibility of foisting upon the people of this
State a usurpation without precedent in this or
any other free oountry, and he is answerable
before the bar of public opinion for this high
handed measure. The President with the army
navy at hie command has the physical
power to"coerce the people of this State Into
any line of policy ha may be pleased to dic
tate, and it would be bnt folly and madness to
interpose a resistance likely to bring MIn con
flict with the national authority. Yet the
deeply fixed sentiments of irrepressible hos
tility in the minds and hearts of an outraged
people against the vilest usurpation ever at
tempted to be fastened upon freemen, will find
their full seope and vent. I advise that these
manly and patriotic sentiments take form and
shape through all the moral and legal agendas
possible to be devised. In the meantime I
trust peace and order zaay reign supreme
throughout the State, and that all our indus
trial pursuits will be unembarrawed by politi
es! difficulties. Aad especially do I urge upon
the neoule of the two races who are numeri-
SSJ^rty equal in this State, to cultivate
OTe towards the other nothing but feelings of
unity, good will, and aSotual MfcntMtta*."
ratten In North Georgia.
Our friend Martin, now of the Colnmbua San
who retired from the editorial conduct of the
Eaquirer when it passed into the hands of the
new proprietor, Mr Calhoun, some three weeks
since, spent the interval between laying down
his pen and taking it np again in a holiday ex
cursion to North Georgia, and the following
nnder the above head ia the result oi his ob
servations from an agricultural standpoint. He
says:
One who has not had an occnlar demonstra
tion can hardly form an adequate estimation of
the extent of the ootton crop this year in the
oountry above Atlanta. The rich valleys here
tofore devoted almost exclusively to grain, are
now in large part appropriated to the fleecy
staple, and tbe wheat crop having been much
thinned out by the severe freezes of tho winter,
it is upon, their ootton crops the farmers gen
erally are, for the first time, relying for money
next fall. On the rich lands of Gwinnett and
Forsyth oountieo, cotton bears about the same
proportion to corn planted as on the plan-stions
of this section, and even throughout Dawson
and Lumpkin counties cotton fields abound. We
heard, also, of extensive cotton planting in
Jaekson, Hail, and other counties of North
Georgia. It is the present agrionltural mania
of North Georgia, and success or failnre in the
planting of cotton this year will have a marked
effect on the prosperity and progress of the
section.
In many localities of that region it is, to
great extent, a n6w business—the discovery
having only been made a year or two ago that
liberal use of fertilizers will overoome what has
hitherto been oonaulered the great obsUc.s to
the anocesaful cultivation of cotton np there,
viz: tbe shortness of the growing season. Lost
year’s success by a comparative few having con
vinced the people generally that guano will
stimulate the growth and hurry the fruiting of
the plant on iheir rich lands to such s degree
to compensate for their shorter season, they
are this year staking everything upon ootton.
The joyful cry of “ eureka,” as applicable to
their planting economy, barsts as universally
from their Ups as the deep searching, never-
failing and world-known ‘'eureka” of our friend
Dr. Hood exhibits itself painted npon their
rocks and fences.
And they are “pitching” into cotton with tbe
same venturesome and hap-hazatd devotion ex
hibited by our planters in this section. They
bay their guano on time, pledging the forth
coming cotton crop for the purchase money,
and hire their labor npon the same contingency.
The probability is that most of them have gram
snd meat enough to last them while making
this otop, and herein they have tbe advantage
of onr-plonters farther South. Bat how well
they may be off in this respect after this year's
operations, we will not forebode. “Sufficient
onto the day is the evil thereof.” The applica
tion of guano to the cotton is universal. Even
on tbe rieh bottom lands of the Chattahoochee
river, in Gwinnett and Forsyth connties—lands
that will make forty to fifty bushels of corn per
sure without manure—they are liberally apply
ing guano to their ootton. We heard of one
planter on arented farm on the Chattahoochee,
through whose lands we passed, who has this
year bought abont $1,100 worth of guano for
his cotton, and bought it on time. His land
wonld give the maximum yield of oorn above
named, with good seasons, without manure. It
is evident that he haB tisked heavily on cotton
this year, and means to “make a spoon or spoil
a horn.” And hia course ia precisely that of
many others in tho splendid agricultural sco-
tion of which we are writing.

Bayard Taylor ou Journalism.
Mr. Bayard Taylor, who is at Vienna as tbe
correspondent of the New York Tribune, seems
to have made a great hit at the press banquet
preliminary to the opening of the Exposition,
both as a speaker and exponent of Journalism.
He spoke in German, constructing a new
German word to characterize the festival.
From the Vienna Deutsche Zsitung we take
the following report of the speech, which cer
tainly presents the finest epitome of the seope
and character of true journalism whioh we have
ever read. Mr. Taylor said:
This press festival is to me the expression
of a oloser onion of the press in all lands, in
order to extirpato old prejudices, to farther
peaoefal and instructive comparisons in politic?,
society and literature, and finally—I might
also say—to inaugurate a kind of universal
world sociability (WcUqemuthlichkdt) among
the people of all civilized countries. [Loud
and enthusiaatio applsnse. j For I assert that
a higher mission has been confided to the
prese than merely to speak with tbe changing
voioe of the day. [Cries of “True.”) Its
domain lies' between liteiatnre and statesman
ship, and takes hold on both.
It ia tree, indeed, as Freligraph says, in
speaking of politics, “the author stands upon
a loftier watch tower than tbe turrets of party.”
But it is enough for us that each party has its
turrets; and while tho masses of its followers
are straggling below in the dust of battle, the
experienced and oousoientiona journalist stands
above on tbe watoh-tower and overlooks the
conflict without sharing its worst passions.
[Applause.] The press cf all oountries, in the
wonderful growth and development of the lest
twenty-five years, has learned the same lesson
—that every new freedom brings with it a new
dnty, and in the same measure as its power and
influenoe have increased, Us moderation and its
earnest endeavor to judge prominent questions
justly have also become prominent. We must
wait long for the millennial season of universal
peaoe; bnt where, as here to-night, the jour
nalists of all oiviiized lands are so cordially re
ceived and so fraternally associate, the path of
peaoefal and healthy progress is snrely made a
little firmer than before.
The conclusion ot this speech was almost lost
in the storm of applause whioh hailed it.
Tbe Porlngncse minister Unable to
Pay His Beard la Washington.
One day in November, 1871, the Amerioan
residents in Paris were considerably agitated,
particularly the female portion of them. The
reason of it all was that one of their number, a
yonng, handsome, spirited, wealthy New York
heiress was on that day to exchange her plain
Repnblioan name of Adele Allien for that of
Chevalier de Lobe, of London, at the time at
tached to the Legation of Portugal at Paris.
Tbe Chevalier, though possessed of a pretty big
handle to his name, had nothing monetary ex
cept a soant salary. He was fully twenty-five
years older than his yonng Amerioan wife. Bnt
in view of his title this difference was not con
sidered an objection. And so the nnion of the
two was consummated, and in order to make it
folly binding In the eye of the church as well as
of the State, the ceremony of tying the knot
was performed once by a Roman Catholic priest
and by Minieter Washburne.
The father of the bride, though of French
stock, is a native of New York, and thoroughly
American in thought and feeling, and, it is
said, wonld have preferred for son-in-law any
young e'erk, irrespective of salary or posses
sions. Bnt Miss Adele’s mother was not of the
same opinion. She was of German parentage
—her father, now dead for a long time, was
the Prussian Consul in this city fornearly forty
years. She had visited Enrope, and among
the highest government circles had acquired a
partiality for life among the nobility. The
mother’s will prevailed, and the wealth; house
of Horstman Brothers & Allien, manufacturers
of military goods in New York and Phila
delphia, become allied by marriage with tbe
poor house of tho Lobo?, of Portugal.
At first things went on smoothly enongh. De
Lobo opened to his yonng wife the doors to the
bighest society everywhere in Enrope, and the
money of the young bride’s fstherwas sufficient
for the extravaganoe. But long before the year
expired trouble was caused by financial embar
rassments. The Chevalier needed more money
than he oonld get through his wife, and became
dissatisfied. In the meantime te was trans
ferred to Washington as Minister Resident,
which more than trebled his legitimate income.
It appears that gome day last week Chevalier
de Lobo quit Washington. He was in arrears
to hi3 landlady for one month's board, and had
not the money to pay. Other claims had been
arsed for seettlment, and the landlady had
threatened to lock him out and seize his bag-
gige. Bnt tha legal status of a foreign minis
ter is such that he cannot be sued for money
demands. Secretary Fish has acted upon that
principle. As Boon as the secretary ef Cheva
lier de Lobo ascertained that the cruel landlady
was detaining the baggage of the Portugese
representative, he is said to have informed
Secretary Fish of the fact, who informed the
landlady that she hid no right to the coarse she
pursued. At the same time the Secretary of
State has taken steps to present the whole af
fair to the Foreign Office of Portugal, asking
for the immediate recall of tha Chevalier, and
that his debts be settled.—AT. Y. Mereury.
Tex seif - sacrificing nature of woman is well
ill us tn ted in this extract from a letter to a
Western paper: “I know a woman who lives in
a oonutry village. With a heart and brain alive
to better things she stays there and, day after
day, year after year, takes care of an idiot
brother, and for her reward haa vacant smiles
aad meaningless gibberish. It is such a half
life, you say, it is vegetating; you canid not
live so. Well perhaps so. But I imagine that
it is a sort of vegetation that will bloo** oot

The Walworth Tragedy.
New Yobk, Jane 4.—A resident of Saratoga
says Mrs. Walworth, the wife of the man mur
dered yesterday, was a Miss Nellie Hardin,
daughter cf Coil Hardin, of Kentucky, who was
killed in the battle of Buena Viata. After the
death of the Colonel, his wife went to Chan
cellor Walworth, father of the murdered man
to settle some contest about the estate of the
late Colonel. It ended by tbe Chancellor mar.
rying the widow. This naturally brought the
daughter Nellie and Mansfield Tracy Walworth
constantly together, and the resnlt was that
they mailed.
In the course of years Walworth began In-
dulging habitually in intoxication, and became
brutal in his treatment of bis wife, and on some
occasions struck her. This treatment oontinued
until the ontbreak of the late war, when Wal
worth, through his father, obtained a position
in the State Department at Washington, and
his habits were improved.
It was Boon discovered that Walworth was
nsing the means his position famished him with
to give secret information to the Confederate
autnorieB of what was transpiring in the North.
He was arrested and sentenced to the capital
prison, bnt released through the itflseaoe of
his father and allowed to go to Saratoga, where
he made a report to the authorities every day
till the close of the war.
Iu the meantime, his father died, leaving
uoihiDg to the son or daughter In law, and the
former resumed his old habits.
His oondnot at length beoame unbearable,
and Mrs. Walworth left him and shortly pro
cared a divorce.
She then obtained a position as clerk in the
Treasury Department in Washington, where
she remained for two years, and then went to
Saratoga and opened a young ladies’ seminary.
It was while she was there that she began to
reoeive letters from Walworth, threatening and
insulting her, and making outrageous charges
against her. It was these letters which oaused
the son to leave hia home and commit the hor
rible sot.
One of the 1 d rotors who attended on the mur
dered man, said that when he went np ctairs to
his room, he found Mr. Walworth was lyiog on
the floor, with hia head on the carpet and gasp
ing. His pulse gave one or two pulsations,
when the doctor took his arm in his hand, and
then stopped completely.
Blood was gushing from a wound in bis left
breast and from hia arm. He died in about a
quarter of a minute alter the doctor entered the
room.
He was shortly after placed in bed and the
doctor says that young Walworth, when he was
brought iuto the room, reported the conversa
tion between himself and father as follows:
Walworth (the son) standing before his
father.—“You have again written letters to my
mother, threatening both her life and my own.
Will you solemnly promise never to make suoh
threats again? ’
Walworth (the father.)—' I do make that
promise.”
Walworth (the son )—“You hive, also, re
peated the insult made to my mother. Do you
promise never to nse insulting language to
mother again?”
Walworth (father.)—“ I do make snch
promise.
Walworth (son.)—Drawing the revolver,and
pointing it at his father. “ You hare made that
promise before. I do not believe you. You
shall never have the opportunity of doing so
again, and then the firing took plaoe without a
moment's interval of hesitation.
The Walworth Pariclde.
Frank Walworth, who shot hia father, is in
oeil No. 67.
Mrs. Walworth telographed to ex Judge
Beaob, “See my son Frank H. Walworth at
once, and attend to his case.”
Beach subsequently had a consultation with
hia client.

- Cotton Claims.
Tha Court of Claims to-day, rendered n de
cision ot general interest and very great im
portance, in the case of Wm. A Hayeroft vs.
the United States, which iB precisely identical
in principle, and conditions of fact with the
well known Elmira J. Kelly case, likewise
pending.
Mr. Haycrcft’s suit was brought July 30tb,
1872, for the proceeds of oertain cotton seized
and sold by the agents of the United States
Government. Tbe captured and abandoned
property act limited this time, within which
suits could be brought for the proceeds of such
seizures to August 20, 1868, being two years
from tbe date of the termination of the rebel
lion, as fixed by tbe Presidential proclamation
of August 20,1866.
Tbe Supreme Court decides that the amnesty
proclatiom of Deoember 25, 1868, relieved all
persons in the Sen them States from obligation
to prove their loyalty in the Court of Claims,
and Hayeroft, in filing his claim in 1872, con
tended that, in consequence of said amnesty
proclamation and decision of the Supreme
Court, disloyal ootton claimants, like himself,
had a right to commenoe their suits at any time
within six years after the date of tbe procla
mation of December 25, 1868, nnder the gene
ral statute of limitations applicable to suits
brought in this oourt; for the reason that he
bad no standing in the oourt prior to the iaru-
anee of «a»4 amnesty, and that Ui cause of
I notion occurred at this date, although his pro
perty was taken in 1868.
The Attorney General filed a plea to the
jurisdiction, on the ground that all suite for
ootton were required to he .brought within two
years—the limitation of the captured and aban
doned property aot.
Boatly and Casey, oounsel for the claimant,
demurred, and the Conrt to-day over-ruled the
demurrer and sustained tho plea to the juris
diction.
Tbe oounsel for the olaimant then appealed
to the Snpreme Court.
This decision, if sustained by the Snpreme
Court, will bar and exolnde claim? for tho pro
ceeds of cotton to the amoant of about fifteen
million dollars.
In the case of Charles Hill, an alien subjeot
of Great Britain, olaiming the prooeeds of cer
tain ootton caplnred from his faotors by tbs
United States military furoes, Hill having re
sided in England dnring the entire period of
tbe rebellion, tbe conrt deoided that the pre
sumption in favor of his having preserved his
nentrality ia not overthrown by the proof of the
mere fact that he was interested and subscribed
money to certain adventures for running the
blockade. These adventures, the oourt says,
may never have been pnt afloat, or, if they were,
may never have reaohed the seat ot the block
ade. It ia therefore held to be neoeasary to
show, not only the purpose to give aid and
comfort to the rebels, bnt the fact that aid and
comfort were given. This faot not being proved,
judgment is given for the olaimant.
In the case of Warren R. Dent the oonrt de
oided that a portion of the prooeods of captured
ootton paid by the Government to an informer
oould not now be recovered from the United
Statea. This deciaon is based npon the general
principles of the statute, that the olaimants ean
reoover no more than the net prooeeda paid
into the United States Treasury.
An important deoision was also rendered in
the case of Walter D. Spott, of Mississippi, to
the effeot that olaimants who pnrobased cotton
from agents of the Confederate Government,
knowing at the time that the proceeds were to
be nsed in the proseentien of war against the
Federal Government, acquired no title to their
pnrehases, and, therefore, have no right of ao-
tion against the United States for subsequent
capture and aalo of anoh ootton.
This deoision governs and excludes elaims to
the amount of $3,000,000. An appeal was tak
en to the Supreme Court.
The Conrt of Claims made an order referring
what are known as the Vicksbnrg ootton oases,
involving the prooeeda of 9,000 bales, to Eben
Everlith, of Washington city, as a speoial com
missioner, to disentangle the complicated ques
tions of ownership, etc., ar.d report at the next
term, and then adjourned till the third Monday
of next Ootober.

Cholera In Memphis.
Memphis, Jane 4.—For the past ten days, a
disease has prevailed here, which, at first, the
physicians pronounced cholera morbns, or
malarial fover; bnt no alarm was felt nntil yes
terday, when the physicians generally agreed
that it was cholera, some dasBicg it as sporndio
and others as Asiatic. Therefore its ravages
have been chiefly confined to negroes and
laboring classes, and in the absenoe ot an or
ganized board of health, it is difficult to esti
mate the nnmbor ot fatal oases. The doctors
say the disease, it promptly attended, yields to
treatment. Among, the latest viotims is Geo.
Moore, of the Memphis and Lonisville Transfer
Company, who died last night.
Reports from the towns below here on the

. MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
What Shall we do With the Wodoea T
Washington, Jane 4 —It is said by the high
est military authority that the Modocs could
not surrender as prisoners of war in the sense
known to nations when war is declared in
aooordanoe with constituted forms. Not hav
ing been so received they are not entitled to
consideration as prisoners of war. The orders
leaned to the Commanding General direotly
after the assassination of General Canby and
Rev. Dr. Thomas, were not to exterminate the
the Modoo8, bnt it was said their conduct had
been such that their extermination wonld be
justifiable, thus leaving the matter to the dis
cretion of General Davis.
Therefore, if he had ordered the killing of
these Indians, he would not have been oensured
by superior authority. Aa to their final dispo
sition, no one questions that they will be ulti
mately delivered to the government ot Oregon
for trial.

muscle in Captain Jaek’s faoe moved. Soarfaoed
