The motion to reconsider prevailed,
jlr. Speer offered an amendment, “that this
lot shall not take effect within ninety days after

connties named, publish the same in some
the public gazettes or by printing its provi

Mr. Moore moved to amend by inserting the

Mr. Gignilliatt moved to amend by inserting

Mr. Griffin, of the 6th, moved to amend by
jmerting the county of Lowndes.
On motion of Mr. Candler the resolution and

The special order, being report of Joint Com-
Jnee on the claim of G. H. Penfield, against
lie State, for arms famished in 1860, recom
mending payment, was taken np.
Mr. Smith, of the 7th, moved to agree to the
wort of committee.
Mr. Boms could not see how the Senate could
tike cognizance of it in its present aspect, as it
man appropriation, and not originating in the
konse, and he therefore moved to lay the report
oi the tablo until action on it by the Honse.
Motion to lay on the table was lost by a vote
ditto 13.
Mr. Candler never advocated repudiation, bHt
la this case would have to move m a new line.
Thought Mr. Bums right in his views touchinc;
the report, as appropriating money. He looker
upon the claim as illegal and void. Mr. Penfield
knew, when he agreed to famish the arms, that
accession was contemplated.
Gov. Brown knew what use he intended to
apply the guns to. They were intended to mnlfA
secession effectual. The Convention of 1865
■paJia:ed all such claims or contracts intended
i canyon war agaist the United States, and
prohibited the Legislature from ever paying
neb debts. All contracts made while a mem
ber of the Union, or of the Confederate States,
wre declared null and void. The present con*
net vai entered into when secession, it was
sown to all, was contemplated, and had actual-
1 commenced. Penfield was present at the
cgislature in I860 when the Legislature was
■gfd by Cobb, Toombs, Jackson and other dis-
iaguished men and patriots, not to wait for the
cople to speak through a Convention, but to
wede at once, and only through the eloquence
f that pure and peerless stateman, Alexander
hmilton Stephens, did the Legislature refuse
> secede, and agreed to call a Convention,
'cafield knew secession would occur, and there-
*» must be paid in thirty days from the date
1 the contract. It was no argument in favor
t the innocence of the contractor that he had
Wlied Alabama, New Jersey and New York

He cannot plead with the Bugler of JEsop, that
‘ did sot spill no blood as a justification.

that we should emancipate our slaves,
t repudiate all debts made to advance the
* of secession. Wo gave np millions of

■ our sons with clothing. Should we pay
um it would be used against us as an evi-
that whenever the “Lost Cause ” was

General Assembly the sum of $45,152 was paid

Passed and trans-
tee, that both the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives pay about twice as much for clerical
services as is demanded, and that we recom
mend in future no committee of either honse be
allowed a clerk, except the Finance and Judi
ciary Committees, and that the pay of said
clerks be not more than $5 per day. We furth
er recommend that each house confine its cleri
cal force strictly within the requirements of the
Constitution and the Code.
We further recommend that pages, guards,
assistant door-keepers and assistant messengers
be dispensed with entirely—all of them being
innovations on ancient usage, and the expense
attendant upon the same, being a burden upon
our impoverished treasury, and inconsistent with
an economical expenditure of tho public money.
The contingent expenses of the two Houses at
the late session were unusual, extraordinary and
in the highest degree extravagant. Retrench
ment in this particular is imperatively demand
ed. Neither the public service, nor the comfort
or convenience of members requires such heavy
appropriations of money, and we recommend
that the proper officer, in each Honse, be noti
fied in advance, that the most rigid economy
will be insisted upon.
We farther recommend that bills for contin
gencies mode for either Honse shall be audited
weekly by the chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of each Honse before being paid.
Your committee adopted the following recom
mendations which are respectfully submitted for
the consideration of the General Assembly:
1st. Resolved, That we recommend that the
convicts to be hired out, should^ be hired
at a higher rate than heretofore. That in the
opinion of this Committee the convicts are worth
atleast$50each per annum, with food, cloth
ing, comfortable quarters, nnd medical atten
tion, with a guaranty of humane treatment.—
And that, to insure the faithful performance of
these stipulations on the part of contractors, the
convicts so farmed out should be inspected
monthly by an officer of the Institution, and
every dereliction of duty or failure to comply
with the stipulations of the contract be prompt
ly reported to the Principal Keeper of thd‘Pen
itentiary, who shall insist upon a prompt com
pliance, and on failure of the contractors to do
so, the Principal Keeper is authorized lo annul
the contract
2d. Resolved, That we recommend that youths
under eighteen years of age, be not fanned out,
but that they be taught a trade.
3d. Resolved, That we recommend that the
Penitentiary be conducted on a more cleanly
anrl systematic plan—the guard should be uni
formed, and the buildings, workshops and hospi
tal should be kept in as cleanly a condition as is
compatible with the interests of the Institution.
J ~ They recommend the abolishment of the office
of Assistant Keeper, and several other offices
connected with the Georgia Penitentiary. The
report was referred to the Finance Committee.
On motion of Mr. Scott, of Floyd, the report
of the Treasurer was read in response to a res
olution offered by himself a few days since; to
inquire into the payment of warrant for vaccine
matter.
Tho following is the report:
Tteasubeb’s Office,!
Atlanta, Ga., January 30, .1869. )
To the Honorable House of Representatives of
the Mats of Georgia:
In reply to your resolution, “Resolved, That
the Treasurer of the State be requested to fur
nish this Honse, as early as practicable, a state
ment of what amounts nave been paid by him
for vaosine matter, upon the warrant of the
Governor, and what warrants drawn by the Gov-
ernor for vaccine matter have been paid; when
snch accounts were created; why the Treasurer
refused to pay any such warrants; to whom any.
eISfieX-I to b *™ Eom e other power to divide tho labors,
certificate of the executor and the certificate of Barclay thought that every county in the
State needed such a board, but that it had not
the then acting Governor that the account had
never been paid and the service rendered at a
reasonable price. They came so near complying
with my requirements, I could not well longer
refuse payment, and on the 3d day of December,
1868, paid said warrant to H. J. G. 'Williams,
and shortly afterwards leamedthat the claim had
been presented to both Governor Jenkins and
the General Assembly of 1866, and payment by
Governor Jenkins and appropriations by the
General Assembly refused. I also learned that
a party who must have been familiar with the
Executive Department had, without solicitation,
visited the executor (who had almost abandoned
the attempt to collect the same, although main
taining its justice) and stated that he knew of
this claim and would attempt to collect the same,
giving the executor part oi the proceeds. The
executor, having nearly given np the claim after
the action of the Legislature of 1866, agreed
to this proposal, and was surprised a few days
after at receiving a certain amount of money,
which amount wa8 only one-half the amount of
the warrant.
In justice to Gov. Bullock, I will give him
the benefit of his own statement, which was,
that when the account was presented to him by
Mr. DeGraffenried, with assurances that it had
never been paid, he told him to take it and scale
it down to what he thought was just, and after
such scaling, (tho original account being $3,-
200 00) he issued a warrant for two thousand
dollars. Because I refused payment of this
warrant, it was reported to me that com]
was made in the Executive office that “the Treas
urer had no discretion about paying a warrant,
after it had been approved by the Comptroller
General, and that ne did not. treat Executive
warrants with proper respect.
I refused to pay a warrant based on an ac
count for services rendered in smallpox cases
by one. Dr. Boswell, in Muscogee county, for
more than $3000, on account of no funds in
Treasury, and on the ground that services were
rendered before 1862, that being prior to the
passage of the act authorizing the Governor to
pay such claims, based on certain proofs. This
claim is still unpaid.
Respectfully submitted,
,, N. L. Angier, Treasurer.

He thought the bill was a good one, and ex
plained its object
He said that he feared to make it a general
bill, because a similar general bill was defeated
at the last session, and his object now was to get
the provision made for his county.
Mr. Lane said he wanted his connty added to
the bill, because the law as it was, was not ade
quate to the wants of the county. Now all the
labors of the Inferior Court have been added to
those of the Court of Ordinary, and one man,
the Ordinary, required to do this work. He
moved to call the connties and let such be added
as wished.

of the question. The “Old man Eloquent” pro-
d to meet the argument of the “Patrick
ry” of the Senate. The contract was enter
ed into when Georgia was an integral part of the
Union.' He commented upon acts and ordinan
ces referred to by the; other side, contending
that they did not applytto the claim of Mr. Pen-
field. Georgia, though overrun and impover
ished, had not lost her honor. He wanted Mr.
Penfield to go home and tell the people of the
North that, though the citizens of Georgia were
poor, yet they were honest. He alluded to the
ftrfrmt of secession in 1850. We fooled the
Yankee in 1860, and went out. and ho regretted
that we did not have the ability to stay out.
Georgia having acquiesced in the measures of
Congress, he would be far from encouraging
anything now tending in an opposite direction.
Arms were needed for volunteer companies.

Mr. Bethune objected to the bill being made
general. Y.
Mr. Williams, of Morgan, said that the bill
should be general, three heads were better than
one. i
Mr. Bryant said that he was aware that in cer
tain counties, under the recent election, Ordina
ries were elected who are incompetent, and the
arbitary powers granted to these Ordinaries,
would operate to the injury of the tax-payers,
and there is a great chance for corruption. A
man comes to the Ordinary with an account of
$500, when it should only be $100. The Ordi
nary, is a dishonest man, the proposition is
made to him to give him $250 if he will audit
the account—it is done and the county cheated
out of $400. There is entirely too much power
in one man, and tho bill should be made gene
ral The able arguments made by the gentle
men from Harris and Brooks, why this should
be a law for their counties, applies to tho whole
State. • i

To Prepare Cotton Seed for Manure.
Mr. Gideon W. Dowte, in the Southern Culti
vator, gives the following plan for preparing
cotton seed manure, and preventing the .im
mense loss of ammonia by gradual evaporation
from the old-fashioned seed pile, thus retaining it
in muck ns the most valuable of all food for
plants:
I hauled the muck directly to the field, and
made pens ten by ten at intervals. Having de
termined what distance I wished the plants to
stand, and how much manure to the hill, it was
au easy matter to determine the bulk necessary
to each pen to manure an acre. I then put the
cotton seed one inch thick all over the pen, then
six inches of muck evenly over the seed—thus
in alternate layers of one of seed to five of
muck, until four feet high—the muck being the
top layer.
And now for the result. 'When the banks were
opened, there was not a vestige of seed to be
seen—not a particle of unpleasant odor, even
when handled and put to tho nose. The whole
mass perfectly friable and had an oily appear
ance—all going to show that I had accomplish
ed what is most desirable in all maunre, so
fixed the ammonia that it was fully secured
as food for the growing plant The land to
which it was applied iras veiy old and ex
hausted by long and shallow culture, that when I
began to plant it it produced three hundred
pounds of cotton, or four bushels of com to
the acre. That year, subsoiling the land, ap
plying about one quart of tho above compost to
the hill, gave me twenty-five bnshels to the acre.
I have used it frequently on com and cotton
since, always with the most satisfactory results.
I am satisfied that with deep and thorough dis
integration of tho sub-soil in preparing land,
frequent and light stirring of the surface in cul
tivation, and with muck and cotton seed com
post we need neither Peruvian or any other
guano to bring ourold lands np tothirty bushels
of corn or five hundred pounds of lint cotton
per acre. I have for years wished to give this
experiment to my brother planters, and have
been deterred hither by the fear of intruding
upon space that might be occupied by a more
valuable article. , j :
Soluble Phosphate.—The rapidity with which
phosphatic manure stimulates tho growth of
vegetation depends upon the readiness with
which it may be dissolved in water and taken
np by the root. A very good method of making
the phosphoric acid of ordinaiy bone dust solu
ble, is tc spread it between layers of fresh and
fermenting bam yard manure. Tho heap should
be covered over with a thickness of several
inches of dry earth, to absorb all the ammonia
evolved from the bam yard manure, and the or
ganic matter in the bones. The whole should
be under cover to prevent the mass from being
soaked by the rair.
Home-made Guano.—Collect a barrel of bones

; THE DUTCHMAN'S LUCK.
From the Kcw York Mercury.]
During the winter of 186-, business called me
to D , a small, obscure village in the interior
of Pennsylvania.
Itwas rather late in the evening, whenlanived
there cold and hungry, for-a tremendous snow
storm was raging at the time ; and aa I had
traveled far that day, it is no wonder that it was
with feelings very near akin to satisfaction that
I hailed the appearance of the village inn, a
small, two-story frame building, which loomed
np in the darkness before me. A bright log-fire
was blazing on the hearth, when I entered, be
fore which I was soon comfortably seated with
a gloss of “something warm” in my hand await-
ingthe preparation of the supper I had ordered.
The landlord of the “Beehive” (for snch was
the name of the inn) was a bustling, good hu
mored sort of a fellow whose greatest delight
seemed to consist in making his guests as com
fortable as possible.
Before a small table were seated three men,
whose appearance indicated them to be farmers.
One of them Was a small rosy cheeked man,
choke-full of fun and good nature, as his danc
ing eyes and smiling face sufficiently testified,
while his broken English proved him to be
Dutchman.
“Yell, neighpors,” he said, “Imustpe koin’
home now, or else mine goot frow vill veel pat
apoulme. Ye’lltrinkvoncemorean’tenlko.”
So spying, he calledfor some more ale; drink
ing Which, he settled with the landlord and took
his departure.
“Ever sinco our ‘Fortuneteller’ has had an
heir, he hates to be away from home,” said the
host, turning to the two men at tho table.
“ What makes you call the man who has just
left a fortuneteller?" I asked the landlord, in
some surprise.
,“It is quite a funny story,” replied mine host,
“and if you like, I’ll relate it to you after you’ve
tad your supper. ”
I assured him that it would give me great pleas
ure ; and as my supper was now ready, I fell to,
doing ample justice to the savory viands of
which it was composed.
After I had satisfied my hunger, I called for
bowl of punch, and inviting the landlord and his
two companions to assist, I lit my meerschaum,
and settled myself to listen to the promised
story, which the landlord told as follows:
In a certain village not a hundred miles from
nore, there lived a Dutch farmer named Dun-
derman, whose family consisted of his wife, an
only son named Carl, who helped his father
work on the farm. Carl was an industrious, so
ber young man, who had reached the age of
twenty-one without having been once ten miles
away from home ; so it is not to be presumed
tbit his knowledge or experience was very ex
tensive.
Carl’s inevitable custom was to go every eve
ning, as soon as his work was done, and see
Katrina Van Klepper, the daughter of a neigh
bor, as handsome and buxom a lass as ever trod
shoeleather. ' While he would sit and smoke
with the old man, .talking abont the crops and
weather, Katrina would sit demurely by sewing
or knitting, as the case might be. Precisely
when the clock struck nine, Carl was expected
to leave.
Bnt ono night, Carl, instead of leaving at nine
as usual, still lingered, much to the surprise of
old Van Klepper, who, after waiting a few min
utes without seeing any signs of his leaving,
asked him why he did not leave, as he wished to
shnt np.
“Because, neighpor van Klepper, Ivantto
sbeaka vew worts mit you!” answered Carl,
rather sheepishly.
“Veil, fery goot! pnt vhy ton’t you pekin
den ?” returned that worthy, proceeding to fill
his pipe. J
“Veil, den, neighpor Van Klepper,” began
Carl in rather a hesitating manner, I loves your
taughter Katrina, more as nefer vos, an’ she
loves me doo, an’ as mine fader’s varm and
your varm atjoin, I tinks dat ve petter marry,
so dat ven fader and you tie, de broberdy wfli
sday in de vamily!”
“Veil, fery goot, Carl,” replied Van Klepper,
looking rather blank at being thus summarily
disposed of; “put how mootch monish yon
eh?”
Carl pnt his hand in his pocket and drew out
an old leather wallet and proceeded to count its
contents.
‘Tkot shust two toller an’ sefendeen shents,
he replied, carefully putting the money back in
his pocket.
“ Dwo toller, yon dundering pig vool!
How
de duyvel toes you dink dat you gan
vrow mit only dwo tollar an’ sefendeen shents ?
Ven you kot dree hoontret tollars, an’ ask your
your fader maybe ho kif him do you, den yon
kin marry mit mine Jrirl; put not von dundering
tay pefore. An’ now goot night, an’ ton’t gome
here no more pefore yon kit do monish. Gome
den, put no sooner.”
Poor Carl had nothing to but comply, and took
his departure with a heavy heart; for how
to get so much money was a problem too diffi
cult of solution for him. '
The next morning Carl looked as wretched
and wobegone as a broken-down oil-speculator.
On his parents anxiously enquiring as to what
ailed him, he related what had takon place be
tween him and neighbor Van Klepper.
“Neighpor Van Klepper is shust right," re
sponded his father, when he had concluded.
“And I dinks that you pe olt enough to ko an
make your own vordnne. Don’t dink dat yon
kit anydingof me ven I tie, vor I dink dat I vill
lif more as hoontret years yet. Mine fader kif
me noding ven I marriet, an’ your fadder do de
same. I kif you dill to-morrow to stay here, an’
ven you ton’t ko den avay, I’ll kick yon avay.”
The wretched Carl was thunderstruck at the
torn affairs had taken; for in spite of his own
and mother’s remonstrances, his father was in
exorable. So with a heavy, foreboding heart,
he began to make preparations to leave his
home, for Heaven only mows where.
Early the next morning, Carl was ready to
leave ; his father gave him his blessing, while
his mother—unknown to his father—gave him
three dollars out of her own private savings, be
sides a loaf of bread and a small jngof butter
milk; and thus fitted out; with a small bundle
swung on a stick over his shoulders, he started
off with tears in his eyes.
Carl traveled on withhut meeting an adventure
of any kind till toward noon, when being both
tired and hungry, he sat down under a large
tree that stood on the road-side before a small
cottage, and began an attack on bis bread and
buttermilk. He bad not been there long, how
ever, before he was perceived by the woman
of the house, who came ont and invited him to
partake of dinner there. Carl, nothing loth,
accepted her hospitable invitation, and was
soon seated before a well-spread table, to the
contents of which he paid the most impartial
attention.
During the meal, the woman, with the curios
ity peculiar to country-folks, plied him with all
sorts of questions as to where he came from,
and whither he was going ? all of which Carl
answered with' the greatest good nature. In
rttiim, she gave him an account of all the peo-
pie living around. Among other things, she
told him of a wealthy old miller, named Ver-
ilank, who lived about six miles from there,
le had married a young and handsome wife, of
whom he was very jealous and proud. To
make matters worse, a handsome nephew of
his came to his house quite often, and took Mrs.
Verplank out riding, which brought the poor
miller almost to the verge of distraction. v ‘ •
Carl listened to her gossip for a long time with
he greatest attention; then, being 'both re-
: ’reshed and rested, he thanked the woman for
her hospitality, and bade her farewell
He jogged along for a few miles farther, till
he came to a place where a vendu-sale was being
held. ' He looked on for a while, and watched
the progress of the sale wdth^great interest, till
his eye was caught by three beehives; Carl had
never seen a beehive before, and he examined
ihem great curiosity. Asking a bystander what
they contained, he was informed that they con
tained bees—that bees made honey and wax—
and other scraps of natural history, which Carl
beard with the greatest amazement. The bees
seemed to strike his fancy, for he stepped up to
the auctioneer and asked him what he would
charge for a peck of “dem little gritters?”
We don’t sell bees by the measure,” replied
that functionary, laughing, “but only by the
hive.”
Carl was very sorry, and the auctioneer, see
ing his disappointment, told him he would sell
him a few to accomodate him. Taking the old
candle-box, he shook a number of the bees ont
y paid tho money, and walked off
with his prize as happy as a king, amidst the
laughter of the crowd.
Hie shades of evening were beginning to fall
when Carl came in sight of Verplank’s mill, and
the miller was standing in the door-way when he
stepped np.
“Goot-efi
oofc-afoning, Mr. Verplank! how toosyon
to?” said Carl setting down his box, and ac
costing the miller.
The miller, whose perception was rather ob
tuse, surveyed Carl with the most unbe
astonishment
“How de duyvel toos you know dat mine
name is Verplank, eh?” he uttered, in a voice
of surprise. ■ 1 ' i
“O, I knows eferyding pecaue I pe a vordune-
teller 1” returned Carl, coolly. “Mine pox here
dells me eferyding I vants to know!”
“Gome, dat is doo goot! How de duyvel gan
dat pox shbeak anyding, I vants to know ?”
“O, ko to de dunder! tidn’t I dell you dat dis
is a vordune-deller-pox ? Shust ask me anyding,
an see!”
“Veil, don, dell me vat mine vife’s name is,
an’ vat she is thing shust nqw—-den I peliefe,
an’ py dunder, not pefore!” said the miller,
credulously.
“De name ov your vife is Carlotta, an’ shust
now she is sharking mit your newy, Hans Ver
plank !” cried Carl, triumphantly, removing
his head from the box to which he had a
his ear.
“Dunder, blitzen, an* dousand duyvels!” ex
claimed the miller, in dismay. “Beelzepup ~
in dat pox, py Cot!”
After recovering somewhat from his astonish
ment, he asked Carl if he would come with him
to his house, adding, as an inducement, that he
would give him three dollars and his si
Carl told him he would, if he would git
lodging for the night also; and. the miller com
plying, he accompanied him to his honse.
The miller chuckled with delight as he antici
pated the dismay of his wife when she wonld
have her fondest secrets revealed.
After supper, Carl confounded both the miller
and his wife by the revelation he made by the
pretended aid of the miraculous box; for tho
woman at whose house he had dined had posted
him pretty well in their affairs.
vill kif you von hoontret tollars for dat
pox!’’ he exclaimed, thinking what a valuable
acquisition it wonld be to him to ferret out his
wife’s secrets.
“No,” replied Carl; “I gan’t sell dat pox, vor
it has peen in de family more as hoontert years f
Mine kreatkrantfader kafe it do mine krantfa-
der on his tying pet, and’ mate him shvear nev
er to bart mit it!
Veil den, I kif yon dwo hoondert!” be said,
fearful of losing snch a chance.
Carl reflected a few minutes.
“I dell you vot I will do,” he said at last.
“kif me dwo hoondert an’ vivty an’ I sell him
to yon.”
Although sorely against the grain, the miller
closed the bargain, much to the displeasure of
his wife, who urged him not to make a fool of
himself; but this only added fuel to the flame
of the miller's desire to possess the box, and he
went to his bedroom and brought Carl his
money.
No Yonder mine frau ton’t vant me to haf
dat pox!" he mattered significantly, as he count
ed out the money. l ‘Put how vill I undersdand
de pox ven he dalkB mit me ?” he inquired.
arl told him to call him np early in the morn
ing and he wonld tell him.
At daybreak the next morning, the miller
awakened Carl and told him to get right np and
show him how to understand the box, for “dat
it vas dalking like de duytfel!” (The bees were
buzzing like a circular saw.)
“Veil,” said Carl, “virst yon most be in a
room mit yourself all alone, an’ den you make a
hot vire; den yon lock de toor and draw de
key out de vindow, and pull your clothes off.
Ven dat is tone, smear yourself all ofer mit mo
lasses, open de pox, an’ you fint him all out.”
So saying, Qprl bade the miller good-morning,
and took his departure, anxious to place as much
distance as possible between himself and that
individual
The poor miller followed Carl’s directions to
the letter. The catastrophe that followed may
be imagined; whened he open the box, the bees,
rendered infuriate by being confined so long, at
tacked Mm on all sides! Hie wretched miller
bellowed in agony, and danced around the room
like an Indian-warrior. His wife hearing the
uproar, ran to the room, bnt finding it locked,
she had to get an axe to break it down; she was
terror-stricken at the startling scene that burst
on her view; for the yells of the agonized miller
were something awfnl to hear. Running out of
the room, she soon returned with a broom, with
wMchshe brushed the sweet insects from he:
lord.
It was fully a week before the poor miller re
covered from the effects of the stings he had re
ceived. He promised Ms wife if she never
would tell, that he would never be jealous again.
Carl arrived at home with Ms ill-gotten money
and Ms father was so well pleased at his success
that he gave him the additional fifty dollars, thus
enabling him to many his beloved Katrina, with
whom he has lived in the greatest harmony ever
since.
The Position and Cause of the Para
guayan War.
According to the latest Paraguayan advices,
via Bio de Janeiro, the allies had captured the
town of Angostura, to which the Paraguayans
retreated after the battle at Villeta, and Lopez,
with the remnant of Ms army, had fled to the
interior. The contest wMch now seems to be
drawing near termination, was initiated in June,
1854, when Lopez, having finished strengthen-
; tiie fortress of Humaita, and matured his
er plans, seized the Brazillian steamer, the
Marquis of Olinda, and thirty Brazillians, all of
whom are said to be prisoners to this day.
This act is supposed to have been in retalia
tion for the compulsion exercised by Brazil upon
the first Lopez, in the naval expedition wMoh
she sent when he refused to carry out his treaty
for free navigation of the river necessary to
Brazil, and compelled him to abide by agree
ment. The rulers of Paraguay have always
borne themselves with rather a Mgh hand to
wards foreigners. In 1853 the American min
ister in Paraguay negotiated a treaty with Lo-
iez L, securing the free navigation of the river
, Paraguay, and providing that citizens of the
United States and Paraguay shonld enjoy equal
privileges and protection from either govern
ment. Ohr representative, however, from a
want of diplomatic tact, allowed the Paraguayan
secretary of foreign affairs, at the dictation of
llio masfaw fri inoarf thfi rtftma
his master, to insert whether the name “United
States of America” occurred, the following sub
stitute, “tho United States of North America.”
In a legal document, like this treaty, there
appeared, both in the English and Spanish ver
sions, a frequent repetition of this title. No less
than thirty-two times was the phrase “ the Uni-
ted States of North America” found in the trea-
signed by Lopez and sent to the United States
nate for ratification. After the Senate had
ratified it, Lopez refused to ratify it on the
quibbling pretext that it “had been altered
r-two times” by the United States Senate.

North Carolina—Horrible Talcs.
New York, January 30.—The Herald's special
from Richmond says a dispatch from Goldsboro,
North Carolina, states that the greatest excite
ment prevails at Kingston, in consequence of
the lynching of five prisoners there on Saturday
t last. The names of the victims were Rich

A person near by the scene heard the discharge
of the pistols as the prisoners were shot on the

bridge and the heavy splashes of the bodies as
they were thrown into the river.
Kingston is in a state of seige by the negro® 8

liberate the remaining prisoners in jail and burn
