CORRUPTION OF NORTHERN LEGIS
LATURES.
The utter demoralization of the public
men at the North is one of the most alarm
ing indications of the times. Corruption not
only exists, but It is open and shameless, and,
ivhat is still worre, there is no popular con
demnation for it. Radicalism appears to
have demoralized the whole mass of society.
Measures are carried by open bribery, and tbe
guilty recipients of the price of honor are re
turned to their positions without a spark of
compunction on the part of the constituents.
Is this the “ Northern civilization” that is to

This ecclesiastical body, which has been in
session for some days, nt Colnmbus, adjourned
on Monday. From the report of the last
day’s proceedings in the Sun, we extract as
follows:
MERCEIt UNIVERSITY.
Your Committee would desire that tlio Board
should make an effort to place the Institution
above contingencies and restore to it the losses
sustained by the failure of the Confederacy. H
To accomplish this object the Committee would
suggest that the Board of Trustees appoint at
once an Agent to solicitan additional endowment
of the University ot one hundred thousand dollars
each. G T. WiLiiEtt, Chairman.
Messrs. Wellbern, Hillycr, Mcll, Butler, Tuck
er, Campbell, and othrrs, spoke concerning the
necessity ot the Institution to the denomination.
The speeches developed the facts that before the
war Mercer Culvers 1 ! y was the best endowed Col
legeinthe Star r-;g the twenty years ofits
bud graduated over 120 ministers.—
Over one-tifth ot the present Convention were
among the Alumni of the Institution. It had lost
*100,000 by the late war. The plan proposed
would identify the whole denomination with the
College, and almost every one conld give $10 and
the $100,000 would be raised within a year.

Meeting of Colored People in Sat*
onton.
On Saturday, 7th April, in accordance with a pre
vious notice, a goodly number of the colored people
of Putnam county assembled at their Church in Ea-
tonton, for the purpose of electing two delegates to
the Educational Convention to be held in Macon. - J.
A. Turner had been requested by a number of the
leading colored men to bo present and preside ever
the meeting, which he did. By special invitation
also. Alfred Mason, P. E. Prichard and lYm.W. Tur
ner managed.the election,
On taking the chair, the President of the meeting
stated, in very few words, what ho considered to bo
tho ohject of the assemblage, bnt requested that some
one or moro of the members of the meeting should
give their understanding of it; whoreupon, Abram
Reid arose and spoke for a few moments, giving his
colored brethren some excellent advice, and stating
that, so fiir as he knew, the Convention in Macon
would be for the sole purposo of devising some plan
for the general education rfrsKu.cd children in tho
State of Georgia. Ho was followed by Mack Hurt, in
the samo strain and to the samo effect.
-Six candidates were then put in nomination by
their friends, and tho polls were opened in regular
form, with one man to receive tho votes, and two
clerks to record the names of tho voters. At twelve
o’clock the business was suspended, and tho moeting
adjourned till two o’clock, P. M. On reassembling at
that hour, short speeches were made by Abram Reid,
Isaac Varner, Morris Penniman, Mack Burt and
Harry Redd, all colored. The tone of their remarks
was excellent indeed, expressive of thankfulness to
God for their emancipation, of earnest hopes and os
pirations for the education and elevation of their
rave, and of good will towards tho wiiito pooplo with
whom they are to live, and whose interest is identical
with their’s. This is the amount of what was said by
the speakers, although about an hour was consumed,
and it is useless to occupy space by going into detail.
A number of white citizens were present at the meet
ing, besides tbe chairman and tho managers, and the
most entire and perfect good understanding and good
feeling prevailed throughout. I have never seen an
assemblage of the kind us large at that which was so
orderly.
After the speaking was over tho voting was re
sumed. At four o’clock the polls were closed, when
Tom Cuthbert and Slack Burt having received a ma
jority of tire whole number of votes, were declared
elected.
Tho Chairman of the meeting then addressed a few
remarks to tho colored people, responding with much
cordiality to the sentimonts expressed by their speak
ers. 1 omitted to stato that t-heso colored speakers
had mentioned tho fact they felt dependent on the
whites for instruction and assistance, and that it was
tho duty of the whites to accord these to them, as
well as to treat them with forbearance and considera
tion, because they (tbe whites) had been blessed by
Providcnco with superior opportunities for acquiring
knowledge and information, l’ho colored people do
really seem to look to us for instruction, for assistance
and guidance, and they appear proud and grateful for
the interest manifested in them by the whites. Un
less I am very much mistaken, thedolored people and
the white pcoplo of Putnam county aro destined to
live together peacefully, and. in tho course of time,
prosperously and happily.
Contributions were taken, during and after the
meeting, to defray tho expenses of tho delegates to
the Convention, and they were quite liberal on the
part of both black and white. If anything is left over
after defraying these expenses, it is to bo used in pay
ing for the education of some colored child.

py* Judge Charles N. Prosnau, of the Su
preme Court of Nevada, died at San Jose on
Washington, April 27.—The health of Hon.
Thadduns Stevens is much improved, and to eX-
r-.ij io leave c rur ivuusyj v«nin next week.—
He to-day wrote a letter lor publication, taking
for his subject the following extract from a notice
of Senator Henry Wilson’s recent speech near
Hampton Roads :
He (Mr. Wilson) said there would be no impedi
ment to Southern representation in Congress If
they elected Union men, and closed his remarks
by saying that he would leave Virginia with the
full conviction that a Republican Governor, Legisla
ture and two Senators wonld be elected.
Mr. Stevens comments on this as follows:
Washington, April 27.—Such articles as this
are calculated to do much harm. They throw ob
stacles in the way of future reconstruction, being
quoted and relied on as pledges by the Republican
jarty. Hence muck trouble arises lrom certain
oose and indefinite expressions contained in a hill
which was reported by the Reconstruction Com
mittee of the Thirty-ninth Congress, though never
passed. It was perverted by fiction and lolly into
an argument against the whole party and Congress.
This generally arises from the carelessness ot the
reporters—sometimes, doubtless, from the inad
vertence of the speaker.
No man should make promises for the party.—
By what authority does any one say that by the
election of loyal delegates they will be admitted?
By what authority say that Virginia will elect two
loyal Senators, while in trnth there is no Virginia.
Much is to be done by the people and Congress,
before any, Representative, or Senator, or State
can he recognized. Who authorized any orator to
say there would be no confiscation, as in another
place? These things are too flippantly said.—
Think they had better be gravely pondered. Who
is authorized to travel tbe country and peddle out
amnesty 1 I would say to the most guilty “expect
punishment and then quictnde; but first a mild
confiscation to pay those have been robbed by dis
loyal men.” These are my wishes, and mine only,
perhaps. Thaddbcs Stkvrns.

European Correspondence.
Paris, April 9,1S67,
To the Editors of the Georgia Telegraph :
Many political questions in Europe may
possess only a mediocre interest -for your
American readers, and it may be my mister*
tunc to touch upon such in my weekly let
ters; yet, when all around us here rumor is
busy with surmises and predictions of com
ing troubles, and these same questions are
fraught with results which can, and no doubt
will, involve the peaceful relations now ex
isting between great Governments, I cannot
refrain from briefly discussing them.
The Luxemburg affair has been temporari
ly quieted, by the resolve of the King of
Holland to desist from further negotiations
with France for the sale and alienation of the
Grand Duchy. This determination was influ
enced by the rather menacing attitude as
sumed by Prussia, who, although declining
to express any positive official opinion on the
subject, still gave unquestionable evidences
of her disapprobation of tliG whole proceed
ings. Holland feare Prussia, and loves tran
quility and independence. She knows that
iu the event of a struggle between France
and Prussia, her contingent of CO,000 men
would be too important an addition to either
side for her to be permitted to remain neu
tral. A considerable military success gained
by either party on account of the Grand
Duchy affair, would entail consequences ulti
mately menacing to the independence of Hol
land ; and while the Duchy, in case of such
an alternative, would unhesitatingly choose
the rule of France in preference to that of
Prussia, they like their present independence
better than either, and will not, by any dan
gerous foreign negotiations, compromise it.
Under tho old Germanic Confederation,
Prussia had the right to gdrrison tho fortress
of Luxemburg, but as that Confederation no
longer exists, the right ceased to exist with
it, and Prussia’s present occupation is unjus
tillable to an extent amounting to usurpation,
Should France acquire Luxemburg by pur
chase, Prussia would have to evacuate the
fortress, or resist the transaction aud declare
war with France. The power holding tbL
almost impregnable natural fortress, would
have the advantage it guarantees in com
manding the whole valley of the {Moselle, and
threatening at the same time Treves, Aix-la
Chapelle, Bonn and Cologne. Its possession
would be incalculably important to France,
if she ever should attempt the annexation of
the left bank of the Rhino, by affording her
advantageous means for the invasion of the
Trans-Rhinane provinces of Prussia.
The House of HoLcnzullern is aware of this
and of the great importance, in a strategic
jjoiut of view, of this fortruso. Prussia is
casting a covetous eytj upon the Duchy, and
is doubtless entertaining hopes of embodying
it in her dominions. It is quite certain that
France would not suffer this, and it may be
equally as certain that Prussia will not sub
mit, without a struggle, to its acquisition by
France.
The question of the cession was in all probabili
ty first mooted by tbe King of Holland, who sup
posed that It could be accomplished without diffi
culty. France, desirous of obtaining a fortress,
erected In part by one of Iter great Generals, and
proving one of tue strongest strategical positions
on her northeastern frontier, hearkened readily to
the overtures of Holland’s King, and was proceed
ing to benefit by the opportunity extended, when
Prussian grumblings and Prussian interference
put an end to the negotiations. This question will
bo renewed by France at some more opportune
time. Stung to the quick, she will treasure up in
her loug account of grievances this additional one,
to be settled at some futureday withher neighbors
beyond the Rhine. Prussian ministers aud journa
lists are jubilantnow, but they may soon find that
their rejoicings and braggadocios have been pre
mature. Before discontinuing this subject I will
give the following quotation from the Jlcmorial
Diptcnnatigue: “Berlin is not ignorant that France
considers any intervention in the regulation of the
question of the Luxemburg as contrary to inter
national right. Wc do not fear going too far in
saying that, at no price, will France modify her
views in that respect, and will not admit the in
terference of the cabinet of Berlin, in an affair
whick exclusively concerns the competence of the
King ef Holland, to whom Luxemburg belongs ia
full right. From this it appears that not only the
cession of Luxemburg Is in question, but a prin
ciple interesting in the highest degree ever Gov
ernment, and on which no compromise is possible,
if the passionate susceptibilities of Germany do not
subside.”
England and Spain are likely to have an early
rupture on account of the persistent refusal ot the
latter Government to entertain the reclamations
made hy England concerning the unjustifiable
seizure of the British vessels Tornado and Queen
Victoria. These two boats have been taken and
held as prizes by Spain for a number of months,
and notwithstanding every effort on the part M
Great Britiau for a peaceful restoratiou of this
property, still remain In the hands of Spauish au
thorities. Demands have been made, to which
Spain has scarcely paid the least attention. The
British Government has shown every poesib e for
bearance in tbe matter, and has been met with
studied contempt on the part of Spain. What to
be done next is the question. The Tithes says,
“negotiation has reached it final stage, and noth
rhe Municipality .acting upon these reproseu-
tatioDs, purchased a considerable extent of
ground at Mery, where 't,s intended that all
burials hereafter from Pans shall take place —
A railway running from the centre of the citv
and connecting by branches with the existing
cemeteries, will be established ar.d conduct the
funerals to the new cemetery. A station is to
bo built in each Paris cemetery, with chapels
sufficient to contain ail the coroses tho train can
carry. The funeral will take place in the usual
manner—the body will be carried to one of the
three greatcemoteries, and from thence taken by
rail to 3Iery. Iu the front of each mortuary
carriage will be a saloon for the transportation
of the lamily and mourners of the dead. For
the poor, transportation will be gratuitous, and
other classes reasonable enough to prevent the
probability of dissatisfaction. Tho Paris ceme
teries will be preserved and open to visitors, but
no more interments will be allowed in them.
The brother of the Tycoon of Japan has ar
rived at Paris, accompanied by his suite, con
sisting of a ifinister, officers and servants. This
I rince, heir to the imperial throno of Japan, is
not quito fifteen years of age. He is small, and
appears to possess a serious disposition and an
observing mind. . His suite maintain in his pres
ence the strictest ceremony and deference. Near
biw a Japaneso nobleman holds a sword always
unsheathed end elevated. Ho and his cortege
are clothed according to the customs of their
country. The Prince comes for the purpose not
only of visiting the Exhibition and studying it
iu its various details, but to pass five years in
France, to learn French and complete his educa
tion.
The tailora and shoemakers in Paris have been
on a strike for some time, and are still heroically
holding out. ’Tis almost impossible to haveany-
thing done in the way of covering for the body
and feet, and wore there not a good supply on
band tho visitors to the Exhibition would find
us not clothed a la dernicrc mode, but in a seedy
and dilapidated condition.
. Three hundred and fifty handsome basket car
riages aro getting ready for circulation, and
will soon make their appearanco on our streets.
Such a decided improvement on the clumsy,
dirty vehicles now doing servico in Paris will
bo welcomed by the cab-driving public. The
omnibuY company is about to establish a lino of
vehicles built on a now model, and capable of
containing fifty persons each. This lino will
start from the Palais Royal every five minutes,
and run to the Bridge of Jena, convoying visitors
to this Exhibition. Tho other lnes have been
coniederably increased, so that there are n:w in
circulation in Paris over seven hundred cmni-
buses.
A tew dottings relating to the Exhibition may
prove interesting to your readers, so I will call
the first that come to mind. 3Iucb has been said,
aud justly, about the exorbitant prices tor living
which the Exhibition, with its immense influx of
visitors, will entail upon all classes in the capital.
To remedy this as much as possible, a grand popu
lar restaurant has been established uudei- the pat
ronage of the Imperial commission. At this res
taurant the prices will be fixed and remarkably
cheap. A meal, consisting ot bread, soup, meat,
vegetables, chetsc and decanter of wine, will cost
lrom 17 to 20 cents. The cooking is said to be ex
cellent, and accommodation all that could be de
sired, by those desirous of living economically.—•
Another praiseworthy establishment, in course of
erection in the French section of the Exwoition
building, is an infant asylum destined “J receive
the children ot the laborers lrom tae various na
tions. Children under three veers will be admitted
and taken care of gratuitously during the stay of
their parents in Paris. A solemn inauguration of
this charitable institution will shortly take place,
and we shall men expect to see multitudes ot
pretty little cribs and cradles, tiny white sheets,
aad haudsome furniture, all graced with the smil
ing laces of numerous cherubims.
Iu the square, placed in the centre ot the Exli'i-
bition building, an elegant pavilion is being con
structed for the display of the crown jewels of
France. A circular glass enclosure around the
crystal pavilion will contain coins, money stamps,
and medals struck in France during the reign of
Napoleon III. By an ingenious mechanical con-
trlvance the pavilion sinks into the ground after
the closing of the Exhibition. The oinming U
masked oy the soil, aud iwotccted by a roof of im
penetrable cement.
One of the chief attractions of the Exhibition
will be the International Theatre, which lias an
nounced its opening representation for tho 15th of
April. There will he 1300 places elegantly and
conveniently arranged for spectators. Represen
tations will take place every evening at 8 o’clock,
composed of operas, ballets, <&c., in which will ap
pear the theatrical stars of different countries.—
From two to four in the afternoon exhibitions of
all kinds, pantomimes, concerts, children’s balls,
&c., will be given. The orchestra is composed of
50 musicians,the opera troupe of 40 chorists and GO
dancers—all young and pretty. The 20 Indians
sent over from America are to make tlieir debut in
this theatre.
The total number of exhibitors enrolled for the
World's fair amounts to 42,COO. France has of this
number 11,645; the Ottoman empire come3 next
with 4496, and Great Britain comes third, 8609. I
have not learned the number of American exhibi
tors. Up to this time they have made but little
display in their section. The Grand Duchy of
Luxemburg is last on the roll, having only 10 ex
hibitors.
Since the completion of the great works of the
Champs de Mars and the Troeadero, from eight to
ten thoueaud workmen have been returned to tlieir
regular labors iu the city, aud the activity of the
gigantic works of construction hae recommenced.
The price of entrance to the Exhibition has been
reduced to one franc per head. Weekly tickets are
issued at the rate of six fraucs, giving admission
to the palace, park aud grounds at Bi.'anconrt,
with the privileges enjoyed by season visitors oi
entering as early as nine in the morning. The
photograph of the bearer must be pasted on the
ticket, leaving the face exposed. Curran.
