the Bonds.
The Ex-President made an hour and a half’s
speech in Washington on the first instant, to a
crowd who thronged the hotel and called him
out, in the course of which he was emphatic on
the Empire and the bonds. Says he:
The time would come, and that ere long,when
the American people wiflbe aroused to the im
portance and high sense of preserving the great
principles which have been overslaughed and
trampled nnder foot so long. He would say,
let ns have faith. He believed the gleam of the
morning of redemption could now be seen; he
thought it was coming, when the Constitution of
our fathers would be restored. It was not neces
sary for him to call the attention of this intelli-

transpiring within the last four years. It was
not necessary for him to point their attention to
the Judicial Department of the Government to
show that nnder the domination of an usurping
Congress that even the judiciary of the country
was made to quail and shrink before it. [Ap
plause.}.
It was not necessary to turn attention to the
other end of the avenue—[cries of “Hear!
hear!”—nor was it necessary to do more than
point to the tyrannical body called “Congress”
which attempted to absorb every single power
of the President. He had called them “tyrants”
standing with the mailed heel of power on all
the necks of the freemen of the United States,
endeavoring to blot out the lines which separa
ted the States, to wipe out the other two co-or
dinate branches of the Government; and in
this Congress stood omnipotent.
I tell you hero, my countrymen, he said, that
if I were compelled to make a choice (and thank
God I am not so compelled as yet) I would take
one individual who was henest, wise, patriotic
and just as my ruler or master, in preference to
a Congress so usurping, capricious and corrupt.
[A voice, “That’s so, - ’ and applause.] Let ns
talk about these things as they are. We even
find a difference among them as to whether
they would take such a government as an om
nipotent Congress would impose, or an imperial
government. Such feelers have been sent out.
They wish to develop what sentiment there is
in the country.
Take a paper, especially in New York, in
which, no doubt, is the emanation and reflection
of a certain combination of individuals, some of
them, perhaps,’residing in Washington, and
when we turn to the title page what do we see ?
On one side •‘The Empire is peace,” and on the
other side the quotation, “Let us have peace.”
[Laughter.] The meaning of this is, “Let ns
have the Empire with Grant at its head and we
shall have peace.” [Laughter and applause.]
But you find larking behind this a debt of
twenty-five or twenty-eight hundred millions of
dollars. The great fear is, the people are not
to be trusted and will not pay it, and hence we
must have a strong Government with an army at
our backs, and when the people become restive
as to the payment of taxes, they are to be com
pelled to do so at the point of the bayonet. I
know what I say, and, not to be egotistical, I
know what is being prepared for the American
people. We find the single item of one hnn-
dred and fifty millions to he collected for pay
ment of interest on bonds, and what is it ? In
terest to be paid in one-half year's time. You

The Eligibility Question In Atlanta.
From the Sun aad Time*.]
Atlasta, July.l, 1869.
The story abont Bullock’s suppressed procla
mation convoking the Legislature on the 4th
inst., and recommending a reconsideration, by
that body, of their resolution expelling the ne
groes, is not, I am inclined to believe, without
some foundation in truth. He was, however,
deterred from patting this plan into execution
for fear the Democrats and moderate Republi
cans would accept the decision of the Supreme
Court as the basis of settlement; and of their
own accord reinstate the expelled members.
This was not what he wanted, as was evinced in
the fact that he opposed the Price resolution
(during last session) referring the question of
eligibility to the Supreme Court, and by tho
fnrtbAr fact that- llA und PnaoMant f!nnUy-<la-
feaied the fifteenth amendment in the Senate a
few days thereafter. His plan evidently is to
keep this question open, and by exasperating
the negroes and provoking strife and ill-feeling
between the races, prepare Congress for the
passage of the Bntler-Rice bill at its next ses
sion. This would perpetuate his rule of plun
der, and enable him to make of Georgia what
the Brownlow faction made of Tennessee in
1866. It is quite evident, also, that Bollock is
rnnch chagrinned at the idea of Terry’s enforc
ing the local laws of the State; for, otherwise,
he might, through his chosen emissaries, have
kept up a show of inability to protect life and
property in the State, and thus made a success
ful appeal to Congress to clothe him with dicta
torial powers. The reinstallment of the negroes
would still leave a Democratic majority in the
House; and the course of the Governor and his
right bower (Conley) in defeating both the Price
resolution and the fifteenth amendment in the
Senate, has already created some disaffection
among the negroes. If, therefore, at this stage
of the game, the Democrats of each House
should decide to reseat the colored members, it
is questionable whether both Houses would not
be wholly beyond his control.
The proposition by the other wing of the Rad
ical party, to convoke the Legislature simultane
ously with the assembling of Congress in De
cember next, is upon the hypothesis that the ex
pelled negroes and those 'members who were
seated in their stead would both appear and de
mand their seats. This wonld reopen the ques
tion, and as Congress would be in session threat
ening ns with the Butler-Rice bill, the “new is
sue” might be induced to resign! It might,
however, resnlt in. the organization of two bo
dies, each claiming recognition as the lawful
Legislature of the State. And there can be lit
tle donbt of the face that Bullock had this latter
contingency in view when he wrote the procla
mation which he has thus far failed to make
public.
Some of our friends h6re seem inclined to the
opinion that the easiest way out of the dilemma
wonld be for the Legislature to convene at its
regular session, and then pass a resolution of
adjournment sine die. This would refer the
whole issue to the people at the next election.
There being really no legislation needed, and
but one more session in coarse for the present
body, this would avoid the alternative of follow
ing the opinions of Brown and McCay, or of
giving aid and comfort to Bullock's hobby by
refusing compliance with the Supreme Court
decision. Others are for paying no sort of at
tention to the decision of the Savannah case,
but wonld have the Legislature, in the exercise
of its constitutional prerogative, to proceed as
though they felt themselves competent to decide
a question over which they have exclusive ju
risdiction.
, English Emigration.
In England the continued increasing emigra
tion from that country to the United States is
viewed with alarm. The London News speaks
of H as follows:
Are we witnessing the beginning of an English
exodus? Some prophets of evil have longfore-
told that some day our laborers would find the
way the Irish peasantry found to prosperity and
independence, and when they did so an exodus
would begin. "Whatever be ’the explanation of
the fact, the increase of emigration from Liver
pool is becoming almost alarming. If in a
single week nearly 7800 persons can find means
to set out on a journey to the western world,
it is, at least, clear'that a movement is in
progress which needs no special government aid
to keep it going. But it is very doubtful whether
The Georgia Difllcnlsy—A Solution
Proposed.
From the Xew York Times 2<l.
Even that portion of the Georgia Press which
i3 not enamored of reconstruction begins to per
ceive the folly of kicking against the pricks.
The suggestion of the extremists,—that the Leg
islature repeal so much of the Code as according
to the decision of the Supreme Court gives col
ored citizens the right to hold office,, and enact
& law specifically denying them the right,—finds
little favor. It is quietly tabooed as a little too
defiant to be pleasant or profitable. With ref
erence to the expelled legislators, the sayings of
the oracles conflict. To outsiders there does
not seem much room for donbt. G» .nting that
each House is the final judge of the qualifica
tions of its members, it ; s ev. 'ent that the moral
ot*engm of any deolsioifrendered by either is
dependent upon its harmonizing with the letter
and spirit of the law; and the law* having haen
judicially declared favorable to the negro’s eli
gibility, all controversy upon the subject should
end. Georgia journalists, or many of them,
think otherwise. They are positive that the ex
pelled members should not be restored to their
seats, and they counsel action by the next Leg
islature regardless of the judgment of the Court.
Along, however, with much dogmatism and
not a little of the old intolerance of caste, the
more thoughtful writers suggest the desirable
ness of moving calmly, and only after ample de
liberation. They have faith in the obstinacy oi
the Democrats in the Legislature, bnt at the
same timo are not insensible to the whispers of
prndence, not to say fear. They would like to
keep the negro ineligible, but they are not un
mindful of the riskinenrred in conflict with the
principle of equality which Congress has made
tho comer stone of its policy. The difficulty is
too palpable to be overlooked—too dangerous
to be despised. Hence we have solutions sub
mitted, perhaps the most practical of which is
famished by the Macon Journal and Messenger
in these terms:
“We take it for granted that they, (the legis
lative majority) will not voluntarily go back up
on their action, and reseat members once and
finally declaredineligible. Weare equally sure,
though, that the Radical party have resolved
that the negroes shall be reseated, or that, at
least, the white men filling their places shall
not go back again. We suppose Bullock is in
fall sympathy with these purposes, and that he
will aid that consmnmation with all his power.
Now, this question may lead to a great deal of
trouble. In fact, it is bound to do so if matters
proceed to an extremity. Can it be settled,
compromised, if you please, and the danger
thus averted? If the Governor of the State is
as anxious for peace as are the people of the
State, we think it can. How ? Let those mem
bers of the Legislature who were seated instead
of the negroes resign at once, let the Governor
accept their resignation, proclaim the fact of
the vacancies, and issue writs for a new election.
There is no question that their resignation will
create bona fide vacancies, and even if they did
not, the prospect of a speedy and peaceful solu
tion of the trouble ought to override that and
every other quibble. If Bullock wants peace
he can have it in this way, right off. Let him
agree to accept these resignations, and issue
writs for new elections, and we do not believe
a dozen voices in the State will be raised against
the arrangement.”
Tho Macon journalist does not exaggerate the
difficulty. His State cannot hope to perpetuate
with impunity the anomalous wrong for which
it is now responsible. Whatever might have
been the decision of its Supremo Court, we be
lieve that continued exclusion of the negro from
any offioe or legislative seat to which he might
be elected would have provoked the interference
of Congress. With that decision against the
doctrine of ineligibility, interference becomes a
certainty, unless the Legislature meanwhile re
cede- from its present position. The right or
wrong of interference we are not required to
discuss. We deal simply with probabilities and
facts. And these make it ceitain that unless
the difficulty be quickly settled, the. state will
find itself involved in very ugly complications.
The compromise proposed by the Journal and
Messenger does nor seem unfair. If the occu
pants of the seats from which colored members
were expelled—in onr opinion unlawfully—will
now resign, the constituencies concerned will
have an opportunity of reaffirming their choice.
And supposing the expelled members to obtain
reelection, tho Legislature, by allowing them to
take their seats without more ado, may escape

steamers which left Liverpool last week were

“There is little to earn and many to keep,”
and the more energetic earners are pushing to
other markets with their labor. Probably, so
far as it has yet gone the movement is a bene
ficial one, but it will be beneficial just in pro
portion as it is spontaneous. It is a natural
movement of the population, which may be
anxiously watched by patriotic statesmen, but
should neither be encouraged nor checked.
Many merchants and manufacturers are al
ready alarmed by it, and though we see little in
it to cause alarm—nothing which threatens us
with an exodus of labor—we can well see that it

Outrageous Barbarity lu the Florida
Penitentiary.
The shocking occurrence related below by the
Quincy (Fla.) Commonwealth, shows the condi

cal rule. It is hoped, for the credit of oar sis
ter State, the matter will be fully investigated
and the cruel barbarians who perpetrated this
outrage upon a poor negro, be brought to con

Inhumanity.—A short time ago we.noticed
the escape of a colored prisoner from the peni
tentiary at Chattahoochee, and his subsequent
arrest at Thomasville, Ga. He was afterwards
brought back and placed in solitary confinement.
We have received the following accounts rela
tive to his treatment from very good authority,
there being various reports concerning the mat
ter in circulation here:
We learn that when brought back the prisoner
was confined in a cell on bread and water for
several days, heavily 'ironed and in a debilitated
condition,’taken out and suspended by his
thumbs with a cord, and left in that situation
until the cords cut his flesh to the bone.
He then begged to be killed, to relieve him of
his suffering. No attention being paid to it, he,
in a moment of desperation, managed to raise
his body so as to get the cord between his knees,
when with a gigantic effort he broke it He was
discovered and ordered not to move. His reply
was, “I want yon to kill me. I know if I at
tempt to run yon will kill me. I would rather
die than live in this torment.” He arose and
staggered towards the officers’ quarters with his
ball and chain, when the sentinel snapped a cap
at him. Three of the guard then came up at
double quick and pierced his body with bayo
nets. The surgeon of the penitentiary then
visited him, and turning off remarked that he
was not hurt. The wounded man replied: “Yon
a physician, and say I am not hurt ? I am a
dead man in an hour." He was then ordered
to be pinioned, spread-eagle fashion, and left
in that condition. When visited shortly after
wards he was found dead. His name was
Thomas , and was sent from Tampa, Fla.

Are tlie Infernal Regions in Indiana ?
Mr. A. Rabb, a farmer who resides about
three miles west of the city, brought a strange
story in on Saturday. Mr. R. has a son-in-law
living on a farm about four miles from Lafay
ette, named Mr. Miller. Mr. M. has a German
laborer, who, in plowing over a com field, struck
the upper crust of something very much like the
infernal regions. A suffocating odor was first
emitted, fouowed by a dense volume of smoke.
According to the German’s statement, the stench
was several degrees above the flavor of the Illi
nois street gutter. A sheet of flame soon bnrst
from this terrible, volcano, and a great confla
gration was imminent for a time, bnt the flames
were finally subdued by a few shovelfnlls of earth
tossed in the mouth of the crater. The lava
thrown out looked very much lie Castile soap
—only it was not so highly perfumed. On the
contrary, it was exceedingly offensive. It ig
nites easily, and bums as freely as brimstone.
The German was badly frightened, and after
viewing the scene in utter bewilderment for a
time ejaculated: “Yeldatish—11!” Weunder-
standthatProfessor Cox will examine the ground,
and if it should prove to be an entrance to the
infernal regions, he will send for Parson Brown-
low to look farther into it. The people of La
fayette are greatly alarmed, and already it is
said that a roaring noise can be heard under
neath that doomed city. We await further de
velopments with intense anxiety. Many persons
may think this a hoax, bnt it is* not. Mr. Rabb
doesn’t look like a man who would deceive a
whole community about as trifling a thing as
the discovery of hell in Indiana.—Indianapolis

youthful part of our population in Cuban inde
pendence. is a young lady who, a few years ago
created quite a sensation here as a belle. In
deed, her debut was made at one of onr fashion
able watering places, and a winter spent subse
quently in New Orleans fitted her for the “game
of hearts,” which she now so brilliantly turns to
account in behalf of the “Gem of the Antilles.”
A native Cuban, she possesses the highest type,
of Spanish beauty. Tall, slender, and graceful,
fascinating, even brilliant in conversation, she
yet possesses the additional advantage of being
undoubtedly the most exquisitely and expen
sively dressed lady in the city. One never
sees her in a toilet to which the slightest ob
jection could bo made. Her taste in the har
mony of colors is faultless, while her rich braids
of glossy hair, arranged to show its luxuriance
and beauty, at the same time discloses, what
ladies are'ambitions of displaying, that it is
naturel. and not the handiwork of the hair dress
er. When it is further stated that she is an
heiress, with no prospective or present matri
monial entanglements, it is not surprising that
the influence she exerts is at onee controlling
and valuable. Her parlors are every evening
thronged with the elite of our yonng men; and
and during a conversation regarding his experi
ence in England, remarked in effect as follows;
“I always thought I lived well at home, but I
never knew what eating was till I got among the

so much before in all my life.” His business in
Washington is to settle his accounts with the
Government, and to attend to private affairs.
in conversation, and the excitement incident to
such discussions, might well imagine that he
saw before him a Madame Roland, from the in
spiration of whose beauty and genius another
Yerginaud would arise to give a statesman’s
glory to her native isle. Nor can one help feel
ing a sympathy for Cnba in such a presence.—
If such fair flowers are native there, no wonder
it is called the loveliest land the sun shines on.

A KOBTHEBN SHOWMAN ON THE SITUATION IN THE
SOUTH.
Alf. Burnett, the so-called humorist, writes to
the Cincinnati Commercial under date of Ma
con, Ga., Jane 23:
The negroes here are not inclined to work, if
they can help it. There are from five to six
hundred basking in the sunshine. A railroad
contractor was in the city yesterday to enj
laborers, offering them good cabins, and fin
them with all the food requisite and J31 per day
cash. He could only obtain eight hands in the
lot willing to work. They sleep around in sheds
and low doggries producing disease and death
to an extent dangerous to the community. The
people talk of enacting a vagrancy law, bnt if
they do, the military wouldn’t let them enfore it*

prejudices, and if Northern men would visit

and eat a dinner, and talk with Northern men

the situation of the Southern people.
Commencement Week in Eatonton.
Eatonton, July 5, 1869.
Jlr. Editor: As you appear to take a lively
interest in all matters of moment which concern
the welfare of onr dear old State, we have pre
sumed to give yon a few jottings and dottings,
from this, one of Georgia’s patriarchal villages.
There is something outside the published pro
gramme of such anniversaries which it behooves
the public to know. So anxious are we to note
every symptom of progress and improvement in
our midst, that we assume the responsibility of
wearying your indulgence by the sfereotyped
phraseology of such occasions.
We looked, and behold the Academy Grove
was being trimmed and cleaned of the rubbish
of ages. This spot is consecrated by the spirits,
and dedicated to the memory of those Pioneers
of Georgia civilization; some of whose names
are carved upon its tombstones, while others
are still known amid the busy marts of men.—
Some of them are names well known to Fame
—names which Georgia will not willinglyletdie.
Others are those sturdy men of mark, who emi
grated from old Pntnam and built up’ the agri
culture of other counties of Georgia and other
States of the Union. It is a labor of love to re
call a few of the names on the roll of Fame,
whose stoiy helps to make np the annals of Ea
tonton:
President Mirabeau Lamar, Judge "Wiley Ma
son, Gov. Jas. Whitfield, Judge Wm. Alexan
der, Augusta Evans, Judge Jos. Clarke, Wm. H.
Seward, Hon. Alfred Iverson, Judge John Clark,
Hon. it A. Cooper, Judge Christopher Strong,
Hon. J. A. Cuthbert, Hon. Shorter, Hon. Dow
dell, Hon. David Clopton, Hon. S. M. Harris,
Hon. Hines Holt, M. J. Wellborn, Hon. L. Q.
C. Lamar, Hon. Mark Blandford, Hon- Joshua
Hill, Hon. Nathan Bass, Hon. J. A. Memweth-
er, Hon. R. P. Trippe, Pike Hill, W. A. Reid,
S. A. Wales, Emett Dickinson, Josiah Flournoy,
Judge Turner Trippe, Judge Holt, Judge Pope,

Boswell, Hamp. Smith, J. E. Morgan, J. E.
Dawson, Adiel Sherwood, Wm. Sparks, Garrard
Sparks, Armstrong, Thos. Hardeman, Henry
Branham, Wm. Tomer.
We can bnt allude to the festive part of the
Commencement programme. Early in the week
the sheltered nooks of our (quandam) Sleepy
Hollow begun to echo to notes of preparation.
The Female Academy festooned with wreaths,
and garlanded with flowers; the grove illumi
nated at night by many colored transparencies,
in fact all the surroundings and paraphernalia
gave evidence of the taste for which our people
are celebrated. The good behaviour of onr
yonng people showed the improved moral tone
of our community. The scenic effect of the
“ Rose Festival,” proved conclusively that
there was taste in the idea and skill in its rep
resentation. But it also proved, without a doubt,
that Eatonton can on short notice exhibit more
healthy, hearty, red cheeked, bright eyed, in
telligent, well dressed, sans souci looking girls
than any one place this side of Aiden. It speaks
well for our climate, and for the mental, moral
and physical culture of those who have that de
partment in charge. The Fairy Scene, in which
the little girls of the school, winged as fairies,
all bespangled in drop d'or, drop d'argent, con
sidered like the liliies of the field, zephyr like,
came stealing in and out of cool grottoes naive
ly to exhibit their dainty little mumeries over
the death of the humming bird. Why it Still
lingers in our hearts like the memory of some
midsummer night’s dream. The meeting of the
yonng ladies at the residence of their principal
to exchange courtesies and forgiveness, and to
be happy.
I was not there, but am reliablyinformed that
all went merry as a marriage befi. The award
ing of the prize—en medallion—to the girls for
reading and recitation; and to the boys for de
clamations, was an impressive and pleasing en
tertainment. Finally the Social Reunion, which
is to come off to-night, when the grove- will be
illuminated—when there will be music, and
many young hearts beating time in Runic rhyme
—when there will be mirth and merriment, love
and laughter. Mr. Editor, may you be there
to see. But the chief purport of my letter was
to call the attention of the public to onr schools.
First and foremost, onr teachers are yonng, they
are Georgians bom and bred, graduates of Geor
gia Universities, and are fully np to tho stand
ard of modem improvements in education. They
have abjured all the ugly features of ancient
pedagogism. As evidence, it is said of the : ex
amination of the yonng ladies of the Female
Academy, that “not a.word was missed, not
even a balk.” Of the young gentlemen of the
male schools, their declamations “showed re
markable proficiency. In a word, our schools
ought to be liberally patronized. The plan of
giving checks, and certificates of merit in the
Female School, is a great stimnlons to success.
Prizes were awarded in a beautiful address by
the Rev. W. P. Kramer.
For declamation :—Joel Walker, Milledge-
ville, 1st prize; Alonzo Reid, Eatonton, 2d
prize.
Reading and recitation:—Miss Mattie Little,
1st prize; Miss Sallie Trippe, 2d prize; Miss
Annie Adams, 3d prize; Miss Mollie B. Gordon,
1st prize, (reading).
Many thanks are dne to the gentlemanly
members of onr Amateur Band, who discoursed
sweet music in a manner to surprise those who
believe that all the good music comes from
abroad. We beg the gentlemen to permit us to
put their names in print: Geo. W. Ross,
Leader; Wm. D. Seymour, Harry O. Etheridge,
W. L. Dennis, Harry Johnson, W. G. Adams.
Of onr able corps of teachers, to individnalize,
we can safely say of Wm. D. Seymour, Princi
pal of the Female Academy, that he is a bora
teacher, for we believe that teachers like poets,
are born such. Of Mrs. 0. Davis, (formerly
Miss Guttenberger); a hereditary taste for music
and thorough training under her father, tho
venerable Professor of music in the Macon Fe
male College, are sufficient testimonials Qf her
merit. Mrs. Bell is well known for her quiet
energy, and patient perseverence and perfect
acquaintance with the duties of her department.
EL O. Etheridge, and Wm. L. Dennis, Princi
pals of the Mode Schools, were graduated the
one at Mercer, the other at the State University.
Their success is the best criterion of their profi
ciency.

Great Britain.—The fate of the Irish Church
Bill is not deoided yet by the Peers in the sec

endowments, which were brought forward, will
next form the theme of discussion. The Baron
of Redesdale announced an amendment, allow

Upper House.
The Commons passed the draft of a new
bankruptcy law in the third reading. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer made a communi
cation that Her Majesty’s Government intended
quarterly payment of interest for State Bonds
in the future.
to answer any questions. A deputation headed
by Count Brandis, that had oome to Vienna to
beg the intercession of the Emperor, was not
much edified with the reception on the part of
Francis Joseph, who told the noble leader stern
ly, “he conla not understand how it was possi
ble to petition against the execration af the laws.”
The Minister of Justice has abolished the whole
ecclesiastical jurisdiction and forbidden all
courts of justice to aid the Bishops and their
clerical tribunals in putting any judgment ren
dered into executioh.
Italy.—In Naples, Turin and Milan, great
precautionary measures were taken by the
authorities, who apprehended a revolutionary
outbreak. Several arrests were mads in Genoa.
It is said the Government will have to spend ^“8® 8 a , t ^ ere ^ T ^_ I | la ^a cheering Mas

United States.
The expedition, with the iarge floating dock
for Bermuda, sailed for the "West Indies.
A meeting of owners of Southern Confederate
bonds took place in London, for debating a pe
tition to be presented to Parliament, that the
Government might not agree to any indemnity
to the United States, on account of the Alabama
claims, until the difficulties were settled by an
impartial tribunal, according to jnst principles
and the law of nations.
Fourteen English mechanics, who are going
to Cornell University, were treated to a solemn
dejeuner. Lord Honghton presided, and gave
the yonng men many good counsels before they
parted.
The Duke of Newcastle has been snmmoned
before a Court of Justice for bankruptcy.
The Times approves of the policy of the Uni
ted States toward the Indians. Praising the pa
tience the Government has shown hitherto in
dealing with Indian affairs, the paper comes to
the conclusion that no treaties of peace can be
executed with uncivilized savages, who must
perish if America will not be impeded in its
progress and development.
A large meeting of four thousand people took
place in Dnblin, for petitioning the Government
to release the Fenian prisoners. Mr. Butt, a
distinguished lawyer, said in the course of a
speech: . • ‘The motto of all true Irishmen ought
to be, ‘Abide your time; trust in God and keep
your powder dry.’ If the British Government
insisted on keeping these men imprisoned, all
its efforts of reconciliation wonld be of noavail.”
Then Mr. "Williams,from Dnngarton, delivered a
passionate harangue. He declared that the Fe
nian prisoners would not accept any pardon;
they cried for justice at the hands of the minis
ters; if these refused to see justice done, the
blood would be on their hands.
France.—Monsieur Rouher opened the ses
sions of the Corps Leglslatiff in the name of the
Emperor.
Napoleon has addressed a letter to Monsieur
Schneider, President of that body, which gives
some hints abont his future policy:
“The Government,” he. says, “has made its
intentions sufficiently known so that an equivo
cal explanation cannot be admitted. Now, as well
as before the elections, the government will con
tinue fulfilling its mission, to unite a strong
hand with truly liberal institutions.”
The Emperor visited the camp of Chalons on
the tenth anniversary of the battle of Solferino,
24th of June, and exhorted the soldiers always
to remember the battles fonght by them and
their fathers. Then Marshall Bazaine present
ed to Napoleon a great many soldiers who took
part in that bloody contest with these words :
“Sire, your soldiers think of the day on which
yon led them to victory; the glorious memory
of it will never fade from their hearts. At an
events, they will remain ever faithful to your
dynasty.”
In the Moniteur and Pays there appeared two
leadera about the purchase of the Danish West
Indian Islands by the United States. Both
journals agree that honor and interest alike re
quire the American Government to fulfill faith
fully the contract concluded with Denmark.
Henri Rochefort, the editor of the “La Lan-
teme” was found guilty of having unlawfully
imported this journal into France. He was sen
tenced to three years imprisonment and a fine
of three thousand francs. Messieurs Limousin
and Jourdan, owners of “Le Siecle” were fined
500 francs each, and the editors of the same pa
per were sentenced to one month imprisonment
for having violated the press regulations.
Prince Henri de Bourbon, a cousin of ex-Queen
Isabella, has married Miss Payne, a wealthy
American heiress, without resigning his preten
sions to the Spanish throne.
The farther accounts about the Paris riots
contain many interesting details. No fire-arms
were used for quelling the disturbances, and to
Napoleon the remark is attributed “Je ne venx
pas qu’on tire on seal coup de fusil” Among
those arrested on the 10th of June, were the
bearers of high, aristocratic names, as the son
of the Duke of Mortemart, Theophile Gautier
fils, and Alphonse de Rothschild, who was con
fined above three hours.
Mr. J. Q. Warren, an American citizen, has
instituted a law snit against the French Govern
ment for illegal treatment and imprisonment
daring the last elections.
G8neral Cluseret, whose banishment from
France and departure for the United States I
mentioned in one of my last reviews, is a for
mer French officer, who was for a time editor
of the “Courier des Etats-Unis” in New York,
and distinguished himself in the American civil
war. A warrant was issued for his apprehen
sion becanse he had violently attacked the
French Government in a pamphlet abont the
“Pacific Railroad.” When the police officers
presented themselves at his country-seat in Sn-
resne, he appeared with two revolvers, declar
ing to them that he wonld resist any arrest, as
in his quality of an American citizen he con
sidered the arrest illegal. The officers of the
law withdrew for further instructions, and Gen.
Cluseret found time to inform the American
Ambassador, Mr. Washburae, who sent his own
carriage to bring him to the American embassy.
Though Mr. Washburae interceded with Mon
sieur de LaValette in his behalf, the French
Government insisted on his banishment, and
gave him only three days time for settling his
affairs, out of courtesy' to the American Am
bassador.
The prisoners confined in Fort Bicetre and
the Paris police depots are very badly treated.

where they also spoke of Rome; and Monsieur
Pfcard assured his hosts “that the French op
position wonld pay a proper attention to this
question;-the name of yonr capital,” he said,
“will be written on onr flag, as well as- in onr
hearts.”
The Pope delivered an allocution, during
which he spoke about the situation of the church
in Italy and other oonntries. “He deplored the
Italian law, making students of theology liable
to military service as an encroachment upon
the privileges, rights and liberties of the church.
Then he discussed the evils threatening tho
chnrch in Austria and Hungary, and the com
plaints of the Bishops in those countries. The
events in Spain caused sorrow and mourning,
and only the zeal of the Bishops of Poland,
who could not be intimidated by the Russian
persecutions, was a source of consolation.” The
Holy Father closed with these woids: . “May
the enemies of Christ think of the fate of his
enemies. Let ns pray that they will return to •
the path of justice, and that the chnrch may be
crowned with new triumphs.”
Spain.—General Dolce arrivedin Madrid from
Havana.
The republicans in the Cortes were told that
their presence in the chambers was tolerated
from motives of patriotism; but the Govern- .
ment could not look on silently, if they were
aiming at the introduction of a republic; the
present state of affairs conld not last much long
er or it would be necessary to draw the reins of
government tighter to prevent anarchy.
An exciting debate arose abont the policy of
the Government towards the republican party;
Sagosta declared the government was determin- '
ed on punishing all unconstitutional manifesta
tions.
Now the republicans in the Cortes intended to
propose a vote of censure against the Minister
Sagosta and Senor Herrara for their tyrannical
declarations.
Prince Henri de Bourbon has sworn to the
new constitution.
InBarcelonaabattalionof soldiers has refused
to take the oath of allegiance.
Carlistic risings are reported from several
points.
Portugal.—A revolutionary feeling is pre
vailing in Portugal
Eight Masonic lodges have placed the image
of the Spanish Republican, Castelar, in their
halls, and, removing Ex-King Ferdinand from
the presidency, have declared in favor of a re
public. The King seems to have sought conso
lation by marrying Miss Hensler, an opera sing
er, with whom he was already intimately ac
quainted for some time.
Slavery has been abolished in all Portuguese
colonies by a royal decree.
Russia.—Katatasi will go as Russian Ambas
sador to "Washington. He has received instruc
tions to present Grant the congratulations of
the Emperor.
The efforts for making everything Russian in
the wide dominions of the Czar are continued
with undiminished zeal. The German Baltic
provinces, which hitherto were not molested, -
are now compelled to adopt the Russian lan
guage; and several German schools were al
ready transformed into Russian ones.

River and Harbor Sue vet.—For some days
Capt. N. S. Finney has been engaged in making
a new survey of the river along the front of the
city and the harbor of Brunswick, for the infor

of his wharf he finds 39 feet at average high
water, the deepest in front of the city. A
