This le a very gratifying exhibit, and tbe achievement Is something of which the State Treasurer has rsaroo to be proud, Tax cure, we think, ere generally promising and we ere now approaching the entioal period ot the year.

Taa Fsxscb Fui-caa.—The World lays the Ptrtiaaaa, in Paris, of Henry V. are amnalng themselves with reoountlng to eaoh other one of the prophecies of old Nostradamus, the French •eer, now dead and gone these three hundred yean. Before the rise of tho Bonrbon dynasty XostradamM predicted that this family, in the person of Henry T.—better known as Count de Chamber J—would be exiled from the throne of Trance for forty yean; that then an Irish king’s descendant—who la evidently MacMabon —wonld restore the family to porter, and that thanafter another dynasty, understood in the bght of comparatively modem events to be the BinapartlaU, wonld make a seizure of tbe throne, occupy It for a short while, and wonld Iheo be heard of no more. Tbo last Bonrbon king ef France was Charles X , who was exiled Is 1830. In order that Nostradamus' propheev ■fconld have been historically oorreet, Henry Y. aeonld have ascended the throne in 16*0; bnt in matters of this grave importance two or three yean' difference Is of little acionnt in wbat Ur. U-atilliBi wonld have oalled tho “damnition {•**'«" especially as the ‘‘descendant of the Irvh king” seems to be propitiously at band in A Daxct irrxx Sxxmcw.—At the proacber'a raveling of the Northern Methodist Episoopal Chareh, in New York, on Monday last, Bev. Mr. Bsach, of the new chnroh in Attorney •rest, on being Invited to speak, said the tea •oa of rejoicing in hta district was at Its height. 2® Sunday evening the cbnrch waa crowded.

Tbe Harder Plead. The Chicago Tritrane philosopbiits in aool- nmn on the prevalecoe of mnrder end the spirit end deeds of violence. The text is records of forty violent dr at ha in Tueiaday’a issue of that paper, end nine murders in Monday’s Tribune —end these, says that paper, ere net an unu sual number, bnt abont tbe average. “There oin be no donbt,” says'the Tribune, “that there ia e very general breaking np of old fashioned moralities;” end then the Tnbnne proceeds to inquire wbat baa broken them np ? Inordinate deaire of wealth— combinations to monopolize property—barbaric love of display, etc., etc., are tbe reasons assigned—whloh ere manifestly not On eautt of tbe breaking op of old fash- toned moralities, bnt only among tho palpable effects of it. Most peopia will assign “the war” as the cause of this lamentable public demoralizxtion. Bnt wby the war, which the Tribnne wonld maintain was a holy and righteous straggle of liberty end patriotism against oppression and tresaon ? We abonld answer that the essence of that wsr, as of moat others, was the trinmph of brute force in dlaregsrd of the principles of law, morality and equity. Is it wonderful, that three or fonr millions of the your g end active population of a country engaged for fonr years In robbery, plnnder and violent domination of all kinds over a weaker people, ehonld become demorallzsd' themselves and oontribnte very seriously to a general public demoralizstlon at borne? And when governments set the exam ple of snbstltnting violence for right reason, will not tbe people follow suit as a matter of oonrae? The whole spirit of tbe government from the beginning of the war np to this time has illnstrated a contempt for law and equity predominant love of force—and what wonder the Bame demoralizing idea has taken deep hold of tbe people ? Now It coed not be said that tbe essential basis of free government la popular oonaent, as opposed to force; and the snpremacy of law and pnblio justice as opposed to violence of all kinds. The bnsiness of war in jts best aspeots and most defensible conditions antsgonizes, in its spirit tbe temper all tbe habits of a good, safe, orderly and law-abiding citizenship, be cause It substitutes might for right and the ready band for impartial jnstioe. It will proba bly be a long time before the people can be re- eohooled Into tbe greet repnblioan doctrine of tbe supremacy of lew, and tbe government itself mnat learn tbe lesson before it can be well quali fied as a teacher. The Bridge that Spans “tbe Chasm” not yet Hallt—Virginia now anil Formerly. A column and a half of tbe New York Times is oocupied with a moat malevolent and cruel article from its correspondent, animadverting npon the present condition of Virginia, acd fnll of sneers even against her ante beilnm record. We give a few passages to indicate the animns of this production; “If Northern peopia coma down to bny lend and form settlements, the prices are immedi ately pnt np in the hope of realizing large prof- fits, so that the purchasers are frequently driven away. We know of inotanoes where, under sneb circumstances, lands have been held at fire times thoir market value.” Again: “In varions localities we fiod representatives of what is known as tbe “broken-down aristocracy*’ of the former time. In seme places tbev are collected in numbers, as at Berkely, West Virginia. They live in the past, and they starve rathor than work. Borne of them are on their old home steads, where everything is suffered to decay and fall to pieces. It wonld be dangerons for any well disposed person to nail a olap board on their bonnes, or repair one of their falling fenoes. If they wonld not shoot him as an in truder, they would be inolined to do so. How they live we cannot nay; tbe t won't work them selves, and have brought np tbelr boys with the same ridlcnlous ideas. Instead of instilling oommou sense into thetr heads, they fill them with the effete notions of “chivalry” and aria- tocraoy, nntil they promise to be tbe paupers of tbe fntnre, as their fathers were the aris tocrats of the pest. Their entire stock in trade is the glory their ancestors acquired a hundred years ego. Instead of manifesting some of the spirit those anoestors displayed, in working as men of their own <l,.y and genera tion, they prefer to die in idleness, the tDjnred scions, as they claim, of noble forefathers. Now, tbe man who lives in the present day on tbe repntation of bis dead great-grandfather baa a very preosrions snbsistenoe; and, as we might snrmise, tbe expenses of this certain class of individuals have been necessarily curtailed. Bnt even ten years of pennry have been soaroely ablo to knock a “grain of sense” into the beads of the more obdarsta. A Northern men cannot travel in Virginia wlthont appreciating every day that bo is a “jankee.” The faot is everywhere impressed npon him—if in no other way, by tbe conversa tions be bears on all sides. People still talk abont that “gentlemanly honor,” peculiar only to the Booth—that famous “Southern code." Speaking of the comparison often institnted between the Father of his Country and General Lee, the writer says: To oompare the pnblio character of the one with the other is an absurdity which tbe impar tial render of history must immediately reoog- nizo. I,«c heeded no calls of duly ontside of his own Uttle State, and rmhed into a sectional wsr against the reoognized authorities of bis government. The whole tenor of Washington's pnblio life indicated an aversion to the main taining and fostering differenoes and distinc tions between tbe States, and hts conduct on many occasions exhibited bis great desire at all timoi to subordinate State to national interests. In short, Lee was a Virginian—Washington was an American.” This part of the country mty have improved since the wsr; opinions msy hare changed for the better—doubtless they have; but it is a melancholy faot that the majority of tho rebels are rebels still. We bad hoped otherwise, bnt observation will convince any one of-.the facts. What is more, the boys and young men are be- ing ednosted in the same doctrines and belief that proved tbo rain of their fathers. The schools of the Sonth all inculcate them, and rebel Generals are held np as models for yonng men to follow. The “Washington and Lee University,” of whtoh Gen. Lie was President after tbs war, and the “Virginia Military Insti tute,” at this place, are both training sehools still for the dootriuo of State rights and hatred of the Northern people. The former was called •‘Washington University” nntil General Lee’s death, when his name was added to it. • • • • “The spirit that brought abont the war msy be dying oat in some portions of the Sonth, bnt it Is not dying oat here, and the present generation are taking every means to perpetuate it in the next," We shall quqte no farther from this noted ex ponent of Northern ltedicalism, bnt simply bnt the question, what if these allegations are true, who is to blame for the condition of things described ? Did blows, mil contumely and oppression, ever win the love of a people ? Are panic faith and canting hypocrisy virtues to command ad- miration? Is stealing reputable, and ballot stuffing a legitimate bnsiness ? Can the Sonth affiliate with those who advocate miscegenation and social equality, or cherish real loyalty for a government which tramples nnder foot the will of a sovereign State, and places in power Its own piebald minions? It wonld require even more than millenial charity thns to overcome the natural promptings of the human heart, and Southerners do not profem to be more than men. Verily, the very abutments of that famous bridge which Mr. Greeley sought to erect across the yawning chasm left by the war, ac cording to the Times, and, perhaps, In fact, have yet to be laid. Not an arch relieves the dreary depths of the abyss which divides the two sections. Any attempt to cross over nnder Radical guidance, wonld bnt choke the impassi ble gnlf with a host of corpses, compared to which, the disappearance of the mnltitnde who fell while crossing the bridge of Myrrs wonld oonnt as nothing. Justice, honesty, amnesty for the pest, and good will and kindness in the fntnre, are The materials of which this grand structure must be composed, if ever it be finished. And very oertain it is that neither ths Times, nor the government It upholds, have fnraiihed as yet a single plank for the edifice. Jrsox Casio, whom the Illinois farmers have just elected to the bench of that State, took the prescribed oath of office at Sprinfield a few days ago, and thereto subjoined these words: "I will administer jnstioe without respect to persona, end do equal nght to the poor end to the rich without sale or denial, promptly, with- oat delay, conformably to the laws, without fa- vor, objection, or partiality, to the best at mj judgment aad abthttee." THE GEORGIA PRESS. A Chzbokxz county farmer is experimenting with rioe, acd calculates on a yield of SO or 40 bushels per acre. - Thz Columbus Ban says it is reported over there that “a certain ex-Oonfederate Colonel, with fiery hair,” drew $10,000 in the Louisville lottery! Per contra, the Atlanta Herald says that city ia “ont” just about $8,000 on the «am» drawing, and that the operators of the 'Western Union Telegraph Company, who made np a pool of $100, realized jnst exactly $12. Aw IxTXBnrcco Casa.—The Columbus Ban reports the following: An interesting suit is to be tried at this term of the County Court. Tbe following ere said to be the facts: The ltw makes the sheriff the jailor of tho oonnty. From the fees, e entiyid- ereble portion of hie salary was received. He formerly appointed hie own jailor or took ohirge himself. Last year, we believe, e new lew, wee passed, giving the control of county matters to the Ordinary and three commissioners—Messrs. Peter Preer, W. G. Woolfolk and L. E. Garrard. They made entirely different arrangements re- gsrdmg the jail, thns depriving the sheriff of his fees, which it is contended they had no legal right to do. Mr. J. J, Bradford, now Clerk of the Superior Court, bnt who was rheriffjor the lest fonr years, is now tneing tbe commissioners for the smonnt of his fees from tbe time they made tbe change to the conclusion of hie term of hie office. The amount le estimated at one thou sand to fifteen hundred dollars. The question may tea :h ths Supreme Court, as it is e very important one. Tnz “ No Pence” proposition reoently voted on in several counties, seems to have oome to grief everywhere. Ooweta is the last one that has Waterlooed it. Tnx election for representative in the Legis lature from Washington oonnty, to fill a vacan cy, came off last Monday and resulted Is the election of Greene Brantley (Independent Dem ocrat) by 75 majority over J. W. Sessions, reg ular nominee. Not half tbe white people voted, little interest being taken In the result. Elijah Collixb acd Zib Weaver, both high- minded loyliats of the off oolor, and reeldicg in Webster oonnty, oollided on the “glorious Fourth” abont a dusky sweetheart each claimed, and now Weaver sleeps with hla fathers. Thx Americas Republican reports a heavy rain in that section on Tuesday night. The same paper also “ understands that there are between six and seven hundred hands at work near Vienna, Dooly oonnty, on the Haw- kinsville and Eafanla railroad.” Carrara A. F. Butlkb his been appointed agent of the Sonth Carolina railroad at Angnata, vice Major E. W. Hall, transferred to Balti more, Tzs boxes of tobaoco belonging to J, 3. Coth ran, ot Angnsta, were seized a day or two sinoe by the Federal collector at that point Tux Chronicle and Sentinel, of Thursday, reports the snicide of Mrs. Wesley Shelley, at Graniteville, S. O., last Monday, by shooting herself through the head. She had been mar ried less than a month. The same paper has these additional items: Hiohwat Hobdxbt.—A gentleman from across the river came to the city yeaterday afternoon for the pnrpose of enlisting tbe assistance of the police in arresting a negro named Ed. relot, who, he alleged, knocked down and robbed a yonng white man named Tom Lanham, on the highway, three miles beyond Hamburg, Mon day afternoon. He stated that tbe negro bad obtained tbe permisaton of yonng Lanham— while tbe latter was in Hamburg with hta wagon Monday—to ride with him in tbe vehicle a short distance into the country. When the two reached the three mile post on the highway, Pelot suddenly attack Lanham on the head with a stick, knocking him senseless. He then nfisd his vioum’s pockets of a considerable sum of money, took hia watch and pistol, and decamped. Yonng Lanham was discovered some time afterward, terribly braised by the beating he had received from the negro, bnt not seriously injured. As soon ss information was obtained from him in regard to tbe rob bery, search was institnted for Pelot. The robber, however, had escaped across the river, and it was ascertained that he was hiding in this city. The police, after receiving the above In formation, immediately set to work to disoover Petot's whereabouts in order that he might be arresUd and sent back to Hamburg. Pelot fills tbe office of Constable in tbst happy bnrg. Miscegenation—A Shoceino Exahflz —Tbe day passenger train on the Georgia railroad brought to tbe oity a singular parly yesterday afternoon—a captnred runaway conple, consist ing of a coal black n n gro man and qaite B good looking white girl abont seventeen years of age, the father of tbe latter, an officer of the law and M-rtrsil eit zena of Wilkes county. Tho negro was in chains. Seeking after an explanation of the affair, we ascertained that the old gentle man, father of the girl, was a respectable farmer of Appling county. Some months sinoe he hired a negro man—the individual referred to as being nnder arrest—to work on bis farm. Abont a month ago it was discovered that rather too intimate relations existed between tbe negro and a daughter of tbe employer, and the two, to avoid the consequences, immediately fled and proceeded to E.berton, where the negro had relatives living. Hither, however, they were followed by the very justly onraged father of tbe degraded girl, acoumpanied by an officer of the law and several netgkbors, and their arrest was effected. They were bronght down, as stated, last evening, and left last eve ning for Appling oonnty, by tbe night train of the Central railroad. The negro, we under stand. is ulso charged with having committed the offense of bnrglary while in the farmer’s employ. He is a bratal looking specimen, black, greasy and repulsive in every respect. The girl evinces no contrition for her shameful conduct, bnt still clings to her brutish paramonr. She asserts that her father waa the prime oanse of the trouble, as he raised several of his dangh- ters as ladies and made tbe others, herself among the camber, work in tbe fields with the negroes. However, be that as it may, the advo cates of tbe detestable doctrine of miscegena tion have their ideaa carried ont to tbelr fullest extent in this case. A more shocking example can hardly be imagined. Afbopos of the late lottery drawing at Louis ville the Savannah Advertiser and Republican ssya the grand prize tioket—20,893—that drew $100,000, was in Savannah, and was offered for sale to several parties, and that not being pur chased, it was sent back to Louisville a few days before the drawing took plaoe. Abont one hundred holders of tiokets in Savannah will get their money back. Hast countt boasts a hen that had her leg broken when qaite yonng, and lived twenty-one years thereafter, laying eggs and hatehing a dozen chickens when in her twentieth year. She had several brothers and sisters in various parts of tbe oonntry, some of whom we have met at the “festive board” of divera railroad hasheries. - r The SavAnnsh News mentions: “As one of the evidence! of tbe confidence that ia felt in the fntnre of onr city, we learned at tbe office of the city treasurer yesterday, that over $50,000 of tbe reoently Issued city bonds have b en sold at eighty-five cents, acd moreover, the entire amount has been taken by onr own citizens.” Cholera In Alabama. The Montgomery Advertiser of ths 10 th says the cholera reports in Alabama are getting bet ter. We learn by letters from Huntsville that not a case has appeared there sinoe last Thurs day. At Birmingham the reports are far better than we could have expected after the excite ment of the last week. Montgomery continues remarkably healthy. On Tuesday there were only two esses of cholera in Birmingham. In tbe afternoon of that day a heavy rain of two honra* duration fell, aooompanied by some thunder aad light ning. About 10 o'clock of that night a cool wind from the Northeast sprang np. An un favorable tendency waa manifested yesterday morning, end six or seven caaea were reported np to 10 j o’clock. Tbe cholera malady is merg ing into bilious attacks. The cases are mild, nnd yield more readily to treatment. The Cholera Abating. There seems to be a general abatement of the cholera everywhere ia the United State*, and wo trust that the danger of any great sweeping epidemic bu disappeared. Every oommnnity add individual, however, should neglect no proper sanitary precaution. Towns and their inhabitants should be oleauly and temperate at a constant and invariable rale and not simply when threatened with disease. Reviving health, good crops and ret anting prosperity will, we hope, crown tbe year. The Daager off Ctesarlsm. Under this heed tbe New York Herald con- tinnee its attacks npon the “third term" move ment. In its issue of Tneedsy, it sayr: Cieitr was necessary to Rome. So let Ceesar be crowned. Cromwell was the saviour of England. So let him reign for life aa Lord Protector, and his children in hia stead. Na poleon was the snpreo;e geDiua of French Tslor and military skill. So let him be Emperor of Franoe and Stag of Italy, and let his brothers and sisters reign also, that his glory may be fn!L We call this Oenrism, and we do not at all see how it differs from tbo Bpirit that would renominate General Grant because the “oonn- try need* bis services." Are we net to suppose that the services of General Grant are at the oomoosnd of the country, whither he is in the White House or a private gentleman on hia Miasonri farm ? And if General Giant Is an indispenoable President, are we capable ot self- government ? If any man is indispensable the sooner we throw onr oonstitntion into,the sea and return nnder tbe sceptre of Victoria tho bet ter for onr peace. Tbe spirit which made Jefferson—bnt more especially Jackson and Linooln—so puissant was only s form of the C'miiriim which ie mak ing itself a power in onr politics. In those days the people were Dot as sniceptible to its iefia- enoe as now. Strange tbitgi have occurred in America; the pnblio tone bus beoome lowered; Congressmen bare grown riou from bonds and subsidies which they vo:--d .,-nt of the Treasury ; a oompany of thieves have held New York nnder their hands and robbed it i-f millions; forgery and peijnry have become political accomplieh- meota, and seats in the Senate are bought with money, ss the purple of the Col lars wss bought when tbe Pise'orisn Guards were in power. We have no Fnetorian Guardi, it is tins; but tbe mec cf whom Mr. Colfex may be regxrdod as the moat prominent tumple—the Praetorian Guards of the republican party—have made Cteiarism possible in onr time, and have com pelled ns to open an issue with the people which has not had its parallel in gravity sinoe the foun dation of the government. The Herald is wasting its ammnnition, in onr judgment. Tbe slate has been made np, or we are greatly deceived, and Grant’s name ia on it. He is stronger behind his entrenchments of the money power, the corporations, and tremen dous official patronage than any ten other Radi- oal leaders with nine tooths of the voters of that party at their backs. He can pack the Naticnil Convention despite leaders ard voters, too, and while they msy beat him voting he can always beat them counting. If they ever sucoaed in overthrowing Grant they will have to call on the •rebel” and "copperhead” Damooraoy to aid them. Whether they cau get that or no*, de- pends—as ths Frenchmen say. Perhaps the Democracy may ohooso to play a lone hand, and have no long division when tho “pot” 13 raked down. Northern Methodism. In connection with the oomplaint of the nu merical slrengtb of tho Methodist Chnroh, the last number cf the New York. Methodist sug gests, that one reason may be found in the nn- aatisfaotory charaoter of the modes of worship pursued by the ooogregationB. Toe people do not take enongh part in tbe ohnrch services; they meet less “to offer np a sacrifice of praise and prayer, than as critical listeners to a sermon,” is tbe way tbe Methodist puts it. As a means of reform it is nrged that tbe choirs shonld ne supplanted by congregational singing, tbst tbe reading of the Scriptures shonld be alternately by the people, and tbe pastor, after tbe manner of the reading of tbe psalter in the Episcopal Cbnrch; end that the Lord's Prayer shonld be repeated by the whole worshipping body. Tbe Methodist also bin's that it wonld be w.-ll to have a psalm or lha Gloria Patri chanted at the end of tbe Scriptnre lesson. The Methodist defends such changes from beiDg moves' to a Ritualistic direction, and thinks they came le gitimately from Protestint principles. Waftevaon on Enirllsli Vewspnpe’a—The Times “a Wretched Old Stake Believe.!’ English chops and Bteaks seem not to agree with Mr. WattersoD, of the Gonrior-Jonmal, who ia now In London. Or perhaps the tipple Is not to his liking after being so long aeons- tomed to tbo best old Bonrbon; or perhaps they don’t know the noble game of “draw” over (here, and Watterson finds time hanging heavily on his hands. Any way, Watterson has seen nothing in London as jot that “ touches his spot,” and he says so plainly in bis letters to his paper. Hla last letter treats of London journalism, and after celling the Times “a wretched old make believe,” he goes on to say: I have been reading ibis stately compound of loppy-cock every mormug nowfor three weeks, laving plenty of time to wade through the whole of it, and I must say that of all the illus trations of gammon and presumption famished by tbe fogyiem cf England, it is the most trans parent and absurd. It resembles, as far as it resembles anything, one of those fat, well dressed bntlera whom yon will meet at any ot the great booses on Park Lane, all insolence and breeches; bnt, whereas there is a fitness in the butler’s obesity and swagger, the ro tund deficiency of the Times is a constant affront to good manners, common sense and ordinary intelligence. The Times is printed on faultless paper in largo, clear type; and to this extent it is worthy of imitation. It has another virtne also, whioh 1s still higher and rarer—U does not belong to the advertiser, acd is, on the whole, to be trust* d in small matters. Ltke the sleek butler in Park Line, it will neither lie nor steal for the rabble. It is only to be reached and overcome by tbo remunera tive demands ot tbe nobility. Nor is there any oocaaioa to quarrel with its decency. Its clean- liness la undeniable. Bat when it sets up for the first journal in the world, and, by the grsoe of this pretense, divides its supercilious twad dle into two parts, that which is tediously orao- nlsr and that which .Is helplessly silent, one is disposed to look for some solid internal evi dence of power. Thns moved to seek he will fail to find. To-day's Times is, like yesterday’s Times, a mess of inadequate gabble about European politios, a repetition of last week’s editoiul flatnlenoics, a few scraps ot desultory and unimportant information, a line or two from America concerning the cotten crop and tha Modoos, and a vast and valuable array of crisp and sparkling advertising matter. Yon will not catch a gleam of sunshine or a ray of hnmor in tbe Times daring a twelve-month. It Is habitnally belated with Us news. Written in feeble and finished English it is ; but that is alb With fanltleaa typography, its “make np” is a bangle of bad taste and chanoe-work; with prodigions resources, it has neither variety nor enterprise. Its competitors, the Telegraph and the News, are brighter. Bnt they are miserably behind tha American jonra&ls in everything exoept their moderation and coltnre, and a certain good faith in the matter of advertising, which they have found profitable, and whioh every news paper tbst adopts it will find equally so. Tbe Telegraph is certainly better written than the New York Herald, bnt it is neither so brilliant nor so enterprising as the New York Tribnne. I do not hesitate to say that tbe Chicago Tribnne and the Cinoionati Commercial are Inferior to the London News only in typography, cr rather in the qnaiity of the paper on wbich they are printed. Punch, which is still read in Eogland. is bat a dal] ass. and if the Americans had not demonstrated Martin Farqnar Topper to be the' suae sort of an animal, he would be acci pted at thia moment in London as a miracle of wis dom and philosophy. Even the Pall Mill Ga. zette, which started ont with tbe pnrpose of being bright and readable, is good for an after dinner nep three days in the week. We do cot heir, however, tint Mr. Watter son has bought a return ticket to this “gnat and glorious,” elc. Chinese Cheap Labor. The Springfield (Maas.) Republican explains that there is no longer any signs of a prison in connection with tbe Chinese shoe factory at North Adams. The Chinese were isolated as a precaution on their first arrival, when it was donbtf nl how they wonld be treated by the peo ple. Bnt now there is no annoyance on either side, and visitors msy see Chinese gentlemen and ladies welcome guests In onr best families and at places of entertainment, while their **bil. glronneither experience nor occasion embarrass meet in constant attendance npon onr schools." The Chinese, aa time has shown, ere compel iton more to be feared than despised. They began by wotking on anfferanoe as cigar- mtkets in San Franciseo; they have now the cigar trade cf tbe city in their hands. They work for their employers until they master the business, end then they start for themselvee end undersell *bem The Chinese rank among the moat successful and enterprising on the PadAe ooast.
