HAOON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1869.
Johnson Defeated.
Jf*at night’s dispatch from Nashville gives ns
the mortifying inteliigenoe of the defeat of
Andrew Johnson for United States Senator, in
the Legislature of Tennessee.
The writer is too familiar with the people of
Tennessee and their attachment to Hr. John
son, to believe otherwise than that their Repre
sentatives have grossly misrepresented them in
fhig matter. It is the first defeat Andrew John-
son ever sustained in that State, and if the
Senatorial question had been submitted to a
vote of the people he would have been elected
by twenty thousand majority over all opposi
tion.
THa successful opponent, Mr. Cooper, is a
gentleman of considerable ability and promi
nence; but Mr. Johnson’s bitterest foes will
admit that there is no comparison, in point of
ability and statesmanship, between the two
men. Johnson is vastly Cooper’s superior in
these respects.
Conventions Upon Matters in Gen
eral
Cannot reasonably be hoped to lead to any
thing in particular. We have copied from the
Louisville Journal a synopsis of what was done,
which may be summed np in the adoption of a
few reports and resolutions upon various topics,
tuid have reprinted, at length some of tho re
ports. No donbt the Convention thought, spoke
and wrote wisely on many things, and possibly
hereafter something which has fallen from it may
be tnrned to practical account. That is all; and
s question arises whether it is worth the time
and expense of such a gathering, and whether
the proposition to meet again a year hence in
Cincinnati is a wise one ? It strikes ns the only
real occasion for snch gatherings arises when it
becomes necessary to concentrate the opinions
and action of largo scopes of country and great
constituencies, upon a single project to be put
at onco into practical execution by the nnited
means and energies of all. Then snch a Con
vention is necessary—then its action is import
ant—then the resnlt is apparent and tangible.
Death of Judge N. G. Foster.—Wo regret,
says the Atlanta Intelligencer, to announce the
death of this gentleman. He died at Madison,
for long years his residence, on the 19th inst.,
in the GOth year of his age. During a long and
well spent life, he had filled many offices in this
State, in the Legislature and upon the Bench,
and also served with distinction during the
Florida war as the captain of one of tha volun
teer companies attached to the famed “Cooper’s
Battalion,” which suffered so much, and which
came out of that war with so much credit.
John Swanson, tho proprietor of an extensive
cotton factory near Stockholm, Sweden, has just
purchased 12,/iOO acres of land in Dunklin and
Stoddard comities, Missouri, where he will es
tablish a colony and build a factory, mills, etc.,
to carry on the cultivation and manufacturing of
cotton. The land selected is well adapted to
ootton raising. Dunklin county will export this
season seven to eight thousand bales, and Stod
dard about five thousand. Tho enterprize will
give employment to thirteen hundred families,
part of whom are on the way from Sweden, and
tho remainder will soon follow.
Death of Another Odd Citizen.—The Co
lumbus Sun says Mr. James A. Chapman died
at his residence in that city yesterday morning.
His age was over sixty years. The disease was
dropsy of tho chest. For many years ho has
resided in Coiambus, and has farmed quite ex
tensively. Few gentlemen in private life have
been better known. Tho faneral will take place
this morning at II o’clock, from St. Luke’s
Church. Old citizens are fast dropping away.
Few of the earlier settlers of the place remain.
Be Fair.—Tho Savannah Republican of the
21st quotes “from the Macon papers,” matter
which he could have found in the Telegraph
alone. That wo do not so much object to—but
the other day he quoted “from the Macon pa
pers" a proposition fora horse race by lady
riders at the State Fair or something of the
sort—which certainly never was made or sanc
tioned by the Telegraph. The best course, we
think, would be the fair one.
Dead.—Judge Garry Grice, says the Griffin
Star, died at the residence of his son, Q. 0.
Grice, in Fayette county, on the I9th inst. Mr.
Grice was probably the oldest man in the conn-
ty, and had been a man of wonderful physical
vigor, as well as remarkable talent. He has
occupied many positions of trust, both in Geor
gia and in his native State, North Carolina. Ho
was an honest, npright man, and died respected
by all who knew him.
. Griffin and North Alabama Railroad.—The
Star says that Messrs. Grant & Alexander, the
great contractors, have taken a contract to lay
the rails on the new railroad from Griffin to the
Chattahoochee River, to commence immediate
ly, and lay at least half a mile per day, under
heavy penalties; so there is now no donbt of
the road being completed to Norman by the 1st
of January.
Virginia.—Tho President has expressed him
self satisfied with the Virginia elections, and
said that he should advise Congress to admit the
State at once—General Canby having reported
that there was no ground for the charges of
fraud in the July election.
Romk Agricultural Fair.—This comes off
' the week previons to the great State Fair. Ac
cording to the Rome papers, great preparations
are being made for it, and everybody are in
vited. Rome is a huge place, and we hope her
- Fair will bo a success.—Griffin Star.
The Griffin Star announces that its semi-
weekly is to be enlarged and beautified, and a
daily edition of the Star will be printed daring
the business season.
ALong Stalk of Sugar Cane.—Mr. Henry
Stevens brought us a stalk of ribbon cane eight
feet long, to show that the pine woods of Bald
win could do something besides raising sala
manders.
Sensible.
Speaking of the recent Colored Labor Conven
tion in Macon, the Atlanta Constitution says:
We most, in the broadest spirit of humanity,
make friends of the negro. By liberality, kind
ness, and just dealing, we can win their respect
and affection. Nor must we regard a decided
manifestation of interest in their welfare as in
consistent with dignity. To leave them to the
pernicious counsels of bad adventures, or to the
fatuity of their own ignorance, is alike foolish
and criminal. We must show them that the
Southern people are their best friends.
Nor must we treat with ridicule such move
ments as these, but combat the wrong in them
kindly and fairly, and approve the right. Every
thing calculated to excite antagonism should be
avoided.
The true policy of the Southerner to the ne
gro is to co-operate with him in all good things,
and in bad ones to deal with him firmly but
kindly. The reciprocity of interest between the
two is broad.
The subject of the relations between the two
races here requires in its treatment both com
mon sense and good feeling. We have the mat-
ter in our own hands, if we will but use indc
meat. ^
T “ >T ’ l y-> is ««id to be the greatest potato
market in this country.
The Colored Labor Convention.
It is needless for us to say to the readers of
the Telegraph, that we did not look for any
good from the Colored Labor Convention, which
has lately held its session in Macon at the call of
oertain master spirits of the race who are sorely
not examples in the way of labor. The least that
we hoped was that it should do no great amount
of harm, by unsettling the minds of our plants
ion laborers and stirring them np to the attempt
to establish arbitrary wages of labor and refusing
to work unless these rates were oonoeded.
Bat in this particular, as well as some others,
the convention disappointed us by its good sense,
moderation and good temper. It has been tho
first large gathering of the colored population
in Macon, in which some attempt has not been
manifested to stir np bad feeling between the
races. There was nothing of tho sort here
bat, on the contrary, the feeling seemed to be
kindly.
We are glad to see and to acknowledge this
fact. We are glad to be abl6 to compliment
the body by saying that, in the main, it has
shown sense and prudence and a good spirit,
and wo know we utter the heartfelt wishes of
all the conscientious, thoughtful and responsible
citizens of Georgia, when we express the earn
est hope that the future of Georgia may bo
marked by a growing kindness and sympathy
between the two races. That onr intercourse
maybe characterized, on both sides, by justice,
liberality, good will and a sincere and hearty in
terest in each other’s welfare. That both races
may prosper in the ways of well-doing—increase
in virtue, intelligence, wealth and comfort, and
together build up old Georgia on a solid basis
of civil and social order and prosperity.
On the part of tho great body of the whites,
we are sure that we can say with truth, this is
the unanimous desire. The colored people will
find their strong defence against injustice in the
scarcity of labor and the universal longing to
increase the cotton product. This will bring
them satisfactory wages and prompt and fair
dealing. In a eonntry like onrs, where the char
acter of every employer, in relation to liberal
and honorable dealing, conbe easily ascertained,
it seems to ns no laborer need suffer. He can
always find a just and honorable employer, if he
himself is disposed to do right.
We feel great confidence in an improving good
understanding between the whites and blacks of
Georgia. It is so clearly for the interest of the
planter to secure the good opinion of the labor
ers, and for the laborers to settle down quietly
and permanently upon tho plantation and sur
round themselves with the conveniences and
comforts they desire, that we feel morally cer
tain this will be tho steady tendency in the fu
ture.
We do not propose to review the somewhat
extended proceedings which have been pub
lished. The outrage report we might except
to; but unfortunately there has been perhaps
more than twenty-three blacks and perhaps
more than twenty-three whites killed in Geor
gia tho past year. All good men deplore vio
lence and bloodshed; but the bulk of it is not
murder; and we believe the life of a peaceable
black is as safo in Georgia as that of a white;
and we think justice is impartially administered
to both races. Some of tho county reports say
the contrary—bnt allowance must be made for
prejudice. We don’t believe there are a hun
dred white men in Georgia who wonld not join
hands with the blacks in a hearty desire and
determination that their rights shall be main
tained with even-handed justice.
Constitutionality of tlic Reconstruc
tion Laws.
A special to tha Lcuisville-Conrier Journal
from Washington the I9th, states that tha coun
sel in tho Yerger case say tho newspapers mis
apprehend their client’s appeal to the Snpreme
Court in tho pending habeas corpus case. They
do not raise the question of the right of Con
gress to establish civil State government in the
South through military power, and do not ask
that the Conrt shall decide snch a question.
The point they moke is that the Conrt has ju
risdiction in tho matter of habeas corpus over
any citizen who has been tried for crime by a
military conrt in violation of that section of the
Constitution which guarantees him a trial by
jury, and that if this Conrt enters into tho de
tails of tho law, it cannot go farther than to
pronounce that section of the reconstruction
law unconstitutional which provides for mili
tary trial; and that it need not go farther and
discuss the power of Congress to provide for
State governments in the Southern States. It
is with this kind of reasoning that the counsel
believe that the writ will be granted in tho
Yerger. Parties who are also lawyers say that
the whole question of the constitutionality of
the reconstruction laws must necessarily come
up for decision by the Conrt, and that any other
view is mere legal quibbling.
Stc-
The New J’ork Times and Mr.
plienN.
The New York Times, of tho 19th, vents it
self upon Hon. A. H. Stephens in tho follow
ing:
■ Mr. Alex. H. Stephens, of Georgia, was long
esteemed as a moderate politician. His elec
tion as Vice-President of the rebel Confederacy
was supposed to be a partial antidote to the
nltraism of Jefferson Davis. In the matter of
reconstruction, however, Mr. Stephens proves
to be a veritable extremist. A fire-eater in the
old ferocious sense, he could not bo: his phy
sique and temperament vary widely from those
of the fighting standard. But the pertinacity
with which he advises tho Georgians to culti
vate “passive conduct,” and the vehemence
with which he resists the ratification of the
Fifteenth Amendment, are signs of an implaca
ble hostility to the peace which reconstruction
is destined to secure. “ If liberty is to perish,”
quoth he, “ let it perish at the hands of the
North; no Southern man should be a voluntary
norfolroi* nf tho t*irrtn ” Thio ia ** laahulitoh
partaker of the crime.” This is “last-ditch
doctrine with a vengeance, and is worthy of the
man who would renew on paper the controver
sies which the sword has settled. Mr. Stephens,
it is evident, has outlived his usefulness, and is
now engaged in crashing out tha remains of his
reputatiqp.
While wo do not endorse the “passive" the
ory of Mr. Stephens, and consider it a plain
matter of reason and duty, under all circum
stances, to devise and adopt overy lawful expe
dient to avert evil and improve onr condition,
wo are persuaded that Mr. Stevens, in his great
work, “A Constitutional View of the War,” has
bnilt an imperishable monument to his reputa
tion as a statesman of extraordinary attainments
and unsurpassed abilities. He has thrown around
the Southern Theory of the Federal Constitution
and Government an impregnable and insur
mountable rampart of fact, logio and reason,
which no man can successfully assail. His labor
may be as bread cast upen the waters—without
perceptible results at present. But when reason
resumes her sway—when the resentments of the
war have softened by time—and in shunning the
fancied Scylla of State sovereignty the North has
seen and tested the Charybdis of Consolidation
and a lawless Centrality, then the intelligent
mind of the whole country will turn to and ap
preciate the doctrines of this book; and it will
yet be a text-book for tha successful champions
of a Federal Government of delegated and lim
ited powers.
A Hitch in Mississippi.—The Charleston
News says a special dispatch was received'in
Washington last Tuesday which states that a
new interest attaches to the election for Govern
or in Mississippi because of assertions made,
and accepted as having force, that the disabili
ties of General Alcorn, the candidate for Gov
ernor, and also of the candidate for Attorney.
General, have not jet been removed by any act
of Congress. It ia, consequently, asserted that
Dent will be the only lawful candidate.
Kentucky Correspondence.
Pkwbk Valley, Ky., October 20,1869.
Editors Telegraph : This charming valley, the
home of the author, the artist, the editor, and
the poet, is this morning enveloped in a cover
ing of snow four inches deep, something before
unknown, at this season of the year, in the life
of the “oldest inhabitant” The winter scene
is sorely one of unexpected beauty and gran
deur. The trees of the forest still green with
foliage; the trees of the orchard still loaded with
fruit, all borne down under the bnrden of snow.
The red apples, the green leaves, and the spot
less white, go to form a combination of colors
particularly beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Pewee Valley! do yon know its history?
Years ago, according to “AntiqnitatesPeweeji,”
a weary traveller through this classic vale,
known afterwards in this history as “ King No
ble, or noble King,”* seated under the shade of
an umbrageous beech, heard the warbling of a
little bird, as it passed above him, singing,
“Pewee, Pewee, peace on earth and goodwill
to man.” And so the valley took its name. It
is now the most desirable settlement in the
State for a gentleman wishing to retire from
public life. Here he will find good society.
Beantifol residences, soue of them in palatial
style, adorn the landscape in every direction.
There are a number of churches, the finest of
which are the Presbyterian and Episcopalian.
Bishop Cummings, of the latter church, is a res
ident here. Broad avenues lined with trees
stretch across the valley. Lands once so poor as
to be deemed almost worthless now blossom with
the rose, and command readily from $250 to
$500 por acre. One of the most picturesque
villas in the valley was once the home of your
confrere, W. N Haldeman, of tho Courier-Jour
nal. Wo believe, however, he sacrificed it along
with other property when he sought a home in
Georgia during the war.
Pewee is sixteen miles from Lonisville, loca
ted on the Cincinnati Short Line Railroad, and
Rix daily trains each way convey passengers to
and from the city. It is jnst the place for a
fruit farm, several of which are in operation and
pay remarkably well. The vineyards this year,
however, are a failure in this region. The scup-
pernong, I dare say, would succeed well if culti
vated here. But the people seem to know noth
ing of it Here the farmer who will find “ ten
acres enough,” has choice of two markets—Cin
cinnati and Louisville; and here can he settle
quietly down and bid defiance to the financial
crisis when it comes to try men’B souls in the
outer world.
This is destined one day, to bo a city of no
small pretensions, and we would advise any of
your readers who desire a home in Kentucky, to
turn their steps in this direction. Here they
will find a delightful home, a bracing climate,
and every convenience of city and country life.

General N. It- Forrest.
Tho Selma Times says General N. B. Forrest
has written a sharp letter, denouncing a South
ern editor who spoke of his associating with per-
sons with whom he does not agree politically, as
disgraceful and disgusting. He says ho is en
gaged in building a railroad, which will be of
vast advantage to Alabama,Mississippi and Ten
nessee, and that, in his opinion, the accomplish
ment of this enterprise is an object worthy the
ambition of any man, and to one who loves his
country and humbly seeks to serve the interests
of his fellow-citizens, is far above the consider
ations of mere partizan politics. He adds that
bis object has been to bring peace to tho coun
try and prosperity to the people; to softon down
the prejudices of men of both parties, and in
the development of the great material interests
of the country, to smooth the asperities engen
dered by the war, and efface alike tho marks
and the memories of strife.
Tennessee .Senatorial Election.
The Nashville Banner of Thursday has the
following:
Patriotism Against a Huckster’s Price.—The
ballot for Senator yesterday, instead of increas
ing Johnson's strength by three additional votes
as we had almost conceded to him, actually fell
off tico from the ballot of tho previous day.
His defeat is now assured. Bnt one alterna
tive is left him, and that is the employment of
the $500,000—or was it five million ? which
some of his indiscreet backers boasted a few
days since was here from New York to be used
to insure his election.
Will he, or any of his agents, dare insult the
unimpeachable, incorruptible character of that
body by offering to any the incentive of a pecu
niary consideration to betray their constitu
encies and their State!
Is there any member of that honorable body
for sale?
Thank God, wo can proudly say to the civil
ized world that we do not believe it. Therefore,
there is no earthly chance for Mr. Johnson. He
may be obstinately kept on the track, a bone of
contention, stimulating bad feeling and mislead
ing good men. Let him withdraw for his coun
try's good. If be hopes to purchase bis eleotion
with money, he is deceived. Let him not even
insinuate so base a proposition. This is not his
Legislature, nor did he make it. He is not now
this people’s master, nor do they desire his ser
vices as their servant. He has no power now,
nor influence in the land, save that we might
give him as onr representative ; and that power
and that influence wo religiously believe might
clothe a more virtuons, a more popular, a more
meritorious, and a far abler citizen of tho Com
monwealth, which be hoB not only betrayed but
disgraced.
Rumor lies quite as much as common, if the
boot is not exactly on the other leg. Tha story
is all over the country that the bondholders have
come down handsomely to defeat Andy Johnson.
Improving the Coosa.
The Lonisville Convention passed tho follow
ing, which in its relation to tho Coosa River
particularly, we hope, will attract the considera
tion of Congress. A comparatively small ap
propriation will utilize previous work under the
general government, and place Rome in water
communication with the Gnlf:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con
vention, the following named riveTS are entitled
to the fostering care of the government, and we
recommend to the favorable consideration of
Congress appropriations of the public funds for
the opening and improvement of the same, vie:
Red River, from its mouth in Louisiana to tho
city of Jefferson, Texas, and Fnlton, Arkansas;
and the Coosa from Rome, Georgia, to We-
tumpka, Alabama, from which point there is
unobstructed navigation through the Alabama
River to the city of Mobile.
Good News feom Dr. Livingston—The
Mighty Nile.
We have late and authentio news from that
indomitable Afrioa explorer, Dr. Livingstone,
that he is not only alive and well, bnt that in
prosecuting his geographical researches he
has discovered that one of the sources of the
Nile, emptying into the great Lake Victoria
Nyanza, rises some ten degrees south of the
equator. If this be true the Nile becomes the
the longest river in the world, eclipsing even
the tremendous sweep of the Missouri from its
sources to the Mississippi and thence to the
Gnlf. A fair idea of the long line of the Nile
may be formed from the fact that the distanoe
between its last reported source and its delta
along the Mediterranean is equal to the distance
from Lima, in Peru, to the city of New York,
or from the city of Mexico away np to Mount
St. Elias, the end of the baokbone of this con
tinent, in Alaska. Well, then, may the ancient
river of Egypt bo called the mighty Nile.
But we need go no farther on the one hand
than into the mountains of Abyssinia, whence
the Blue Nile and the Albara tributaries of the
main stream descend, and, on the other hand,
to the Lakes Albert and Victoria Nyanza, tho
great reservoirs of the White Nile or main river,
in order to establish the life-giving and never-
failing stream of Egypt, in its peculiar features,
as the most wonderful in the world. From the
deluging rains which, from the Indian Ocean
are borne and discharged upon the Abyssinian
mountains and table-lands, come the enriching
annual overflow of Egypt, while from the
abounding equatorial rains of the lofty regions
aronnd Lakes Albert and Viotoria flows that ex
haustless supply of the main stream which, for
fifteen hundred miles through a burning desert,
bears still its ample volume to the sea. These
facts have been fully established by the explora
tions of that intelligent traveler and dashing son
of Nimrod, Sir Samuel Baker, in conjunction
with the equatorial discoveries of Speke, Grant
and Burton. Baker, in the service of the en
terprising Egyptian Viceroy, is now at the head
of a powerful expedition en route to take pos
session of the whole line of the Nile, andshonld
Livingstone remain a few months longer “pros
pecting” around those equatorial lakes, Baker
will probably find him and bring him off. Such
a meeting would be an event for a general fes
tival among the geographical societies through
out the world.—New York Herald.
Arrival or Father Ilyacinthe in New
York.
Special Dispatch to the Courier-Journal.]
New York, October 18.—Father Hyacinthe,
the great Carmelite, arrived in this city by the
French steamer Pierroe this morning. He em
barked at Brest and reached onr shores after a
pleasant voyage of eight days and twenty hours.
On the voyage over he was affable and kind,
conversing freely with his fellow-paBsengers.—
On the vessel were four or five French priests,
with whom he exchanged a few words on cur
rent topics, bnt the subject of the Ecumenical
Council and his own future were carefully
avoided.
On beard were the French opera troupe, some
fifty artists who will appear in New Orleans, and
the Hon. Fernando Wood, formerly Mayor of
New York. Father Hyacinthe had a letter of
introduction to Mr. Wood from E. B. Wash-
bume, Minister at Paris, and both gentlemen
became fast friends during the voyage. Father
H. bears similar letters to Henry Ward Beecher
and Gen. Dix, on whom ho will call. Father
Hert Heicher the great Catholic divine in this
city, is an intimate friend of Hyacinthe, and it
is asserted that a conference will most likely
take place between them. Longfellow, tho poet
is also his friend, and Longfellow and Tathe
Heicker are probably his most intimate ac
quaintances this side of the Atlantic.
On the voyage over he discarded tho sandal,
which, by rule of the Carmelites, he is obliged
to wear, and walked in gaiters like any ordinary
Christian, and he has also assumed citizens’
dress, the only sign of religion about him being
tho religious cravat and collar, which peep up
from behind tho closely buttoned front of his
coat. On Sunday tho members of the Opera
Troupe gave a concert in tho cabin, in which
Father H. was present, and frequently ap
plauded the efforts of the artists. He will spend
two months in the United States, and proposes
to remain ten days in this city, when he will
visit Boston, and then proceed to moke a gen
eral tour of the country before proceeding to
Rome to be present at the Ecumenical Council.
He will not preach publicly or deliver any lec
tures, as has been supposed. His obj ect in com
ing hero is merely to get away from tho excite
ment in Paris and calm himself. On bis arrival
on the pier, a carriage was driven to the
gate, and he was driven to the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, where he now occupies the same
parlors which were the headquarters of Wash,
McLain during the late National Democratic
Convention.
His name is registered on the hotel books as
Fr. Hyacinthe. Immediately after his arrival,
he took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Darling, also
guests at the house, and who came over with
him from France. Rev. Dr. Irenans Prime and
Rev. John Cummins, of Greenpoint, were the
first clergymen that called on him. Immedi-
ately after dinner he had a long interview with
Mr. Prime, on whom he made a most favorable
impression. He said he needed the free air of
America to embolden him for his journey to
Rome, where he intended to beard the lion in
his den by participating in the proceedings of
tho Ecumenical Council. The groat Carmelite
does not speak one word of English, but is ns
all Frenchmen are, exceedingly boisterous in
conversation, so as to offer a striking contrast
with the quiet derne raor of the clergy who called
on him to pay their respects. At about 9 o’clock
the following encouraging cable dispatch reached
him from unknown friends in Paris:
Paris, October 18.—Father Hyacinthe, Cing
Are Hotel: Crain’s Point Orois. Courage tout
bien. Amis.
He sent a reply to the members of the Paris
Club, but the contents have not transpired. Por
the time being Father Hyacinthe is the great sen
sation here. Already have numerous Evangelical
ministers met for the purpose of arranging a
public welcome for him, but no definite plan has
seen agreed on. A committee of Boston minis
ters is en ronto to take him to the hub. The
feeling in Catholio circles is not friendly to him.
The Roman Catholio clergy of Now York are
unwilling to express an opinion about the great
preacher. It is, however, not unlikely that he
may be induced to preach at the church du St.
Esprit, in Twenty Second street, next Sunday.
Great efforts to that effect are being made,
especially by our French residents, who aro not
orthodox.
Horrible Fanaticism In Russia.
The horrible atrocities of the Skopzi, the fa
natical sect of Russia, are still exciting the at
tention of Europe. A Russian paper gives an
account of one of their recent exploits. One
day last month a party of fonr hundred of these
fanatics left the town of Balatschow and pro
ceeded to a wood to pray. The scene witnessed
on their return was horrible. A madman named
Wasiloff declared that he was the Son of God,
and, after choosing twelve apostles from the
party, called for a human sacrifice. Five vic
tims were at once selected, placed on a number
of wagons which had been piled tip for the pur
pose,and burnt alive. A woman who had dis
tinguished herself by the violence of her relig
ions paroxysms seized the shaft of the cart and
beat two young girls to death; while another fe
male was first trodden under foot and then liter
ally torn to pieces by the fanatioal crowd. Other
details are given of the horrors enacted, which
are utterly unfit for publication. The governor
of the town heard of the facte and .sent a com
pany of soldiers to the spot, where the whole
party was arrested and placed in confinement,
thus stopping further excesses. It is hardly to
be wondered at that the Russian authorities are
in perplexity how to deal with the members of
this sect _<'■ ^-•fi ‘
“lx is a standing rale in my church,” said
one clergyman to another, “for the sexton to
wake up any man that be finds asleep.” “I
think,” replied the other, “that it wonld be bet
ter for the sexton, whenever a person goes to
Bleep under your preaching, to wake yon up.”
The Virginia Senators.
The telegraph informs ns that Lieutenant
Governor John F. Lewis and Judge John W.
Johnston, have been elected by tho General As
sembly of Virginia to represent that indigested
Commonwealth in the Senate of the United
States. Judge. Johnston h£$ never .been prom
inently brought forward for the office, and so
the newspapers did not trouble themselves to
write a sketch of his career. But 'lieutenant
Governor Lewis was a favorite from the begin
ning, and his record has been well ventilated.
He is & Virginian by birth end long descent.
His family connections are among the. best in
tho Stato. Agriculture has been an almost con
stant pursuit with him, and, until 1SC0, he b'ad
never dabbled in politics to any extent. ‘ In 18G0
he was elected from Rockingham county to the
State Convention. He was an unconditional
Unionist throughout, and refused point-blank to
sign the' ordinance of secession. During the
war he still continued to be a Union man,though
how any man of flesh and sonl.oould have been
so passes the' nuderetapding of-those whose
blood is more meridian. Notwithstanding these
Union sentiments, if such things can be senti
ments, he seems to have retained the respect of
those in his neighborhood who differed with
him.
Since the war he has had his reward, if such
a task can be a reward for a Virginian of noble
stock, in reconstructing the Old Dominion. He
never, however, affiliated with the extremists
and carpet-baggers. At the late election be led
his ticket as a candidate for Lientenant-Gover-
nor by more than 2,000 votes. He is fifty years
of age, tall and awkward, bnt his manners are
genial and persuasive. We learn that. he is a
bright and working member of the Episcopal
Church. This is, to some extent, a misfortune.
Since Virginia is running on an expediency
schedule, she should have chosen not only an
unconditional Unionists, but likewise one of the
Methodist Church of the North. He will no
doubt make a very good Senator as times go—
if Congress will listen to his knocking, his un
conditional Union knocking, ar.d let him in. It
would seem that no barrier exists, or can exist,
to the admission of Virginia and her Senators.
But Congress, like Hamlet, “knows not seems;”
it is only paralleled by itself.—Constitutionalist.

The Chronicle has the following special regarding
yesterday’s proceedings at Nashville:
“There were fonr ballots taken in joint conven
tion with the following resnlt: First Ballot—John
son 45: Ethridge 26; Fletcher 12; Neil Brown 7;
Peyton 6; Ewrng4; M. Brown2; Nelson 1. This
showed a grin of four votes over yesterday for
Johnson and a loss of three for Ethridge, and was
received with cheers by Johnson’s friends.
Second ballot-—Johnson 45; Ethridge 28; Fletch
er 12; the rest scattering as before. Third ballot
Johnson 48; Ethridge 29; Fletcher 12; the rest
scattering. Johnsons friends were jubilant and re
sisted all motions to adjourn.
On the fourth and last ballot the Stokes Repub
licans, in accordance with an understanding of last
night, voted en masse for Ethridge in hopes of forc
ing Johnson from the race, with the following result:
Johnson 48; Ethridge 41; tho rest scattering.—
After this ballot Johson’s friends consented to ad

Republicans will vote for any man to defeat John
son but the general opinion prevails that tho com
binations agarnst Johnson have reached their strong,
est vote. Private advices show Johnson’s friends
confident of making up tho seven lacking votes to

FROM VIRGINIA.
Richmond, October 23—The examination of the
counterfeit tobacco stamp prisoners was contained
to-day. It was shown that two of the party, a few
weeks since, were in New York with $8,000, furnish
ed from Richmond, to bay counterfeit stamps.—
Roche and B&nnoseke, the two principal men, were
committed to-day to jail. Efforts are making to get
them before Judge Underwood on a writ of hebcas
corpus, on the ground of excessive bail. It appears
that a short timo since a stamp counterfeiter was
captured in Now York, with a large quantity of to
bacco stamps, one genuine, which proved to have
been purchased from a collector’s office in Virginia,
and sent on to the counterfeiters to work by.
JOHNSON DEFEATED.
Nashville. October 22.—Tho opposition concen
trated on Henry Cooper to-day. He wa3 elected
Senator on the first ballot—the vote resulting:
Cooper 55; Johnson 51.
Second Dispatch.—Tho Senatorial contest has
ended. Tho result has taken every one by surprise.
Johnson’s friends felt confident of his success; but
it appears that a trap was sprang on him, as when
the vote came to be taken Johnson received 51 votes,
and Henry Cooper, of Davidson county, 55. In
tense excitement prevailed on the announcement of
the vote.
Ricmhond, October 22.—The case of the parties
charged with selling counterfeit tobacco revenuo
stamps, promises to lead to important disclosures.
Two more arrests have been made in connection
with it—one of them being Charles Jackson, tobac
co manufacturer of Petersburg, charged with furn
ishing genuine stamps to make counterfeits. Thos.
W. Roohe and Frederick Bannoseke wore before the
United States Commissioner to-day, and sent on for
trial. Heavy bail will be required. It is said this
was part of a wealthy gang, the principals of which
would take them out of jail, if $20,000 had to be
forfeited to do it. The Commissioner fixed the bail
at $10,000 each, and Bannoseke gave it.
The factory of Bannoseke was seized to-day for a
violation of the revenue laws. The other parties
have been bailed to appear on Wednesday next.
The case excites much interest from the fact that
all the parties are well known as former revenue
officials.

San Francisco, October 7. 1869.
Dear Sir—Your favor of the 16th nit, mak
ing enquiries about Chinese laborers has dnly
come to hand. We cannot at present send you
twenty laborers, as onr arrangements are not
completed, and we can only send on by car
loads. As soon as our arrangements are perfect
ed we might be able to famish you with said la
borers to work on a plantation under three to
five year contracts, at $8 to $12 per month and
found. Expense of bringing them from China
direct, which will amount to about $200 per
head, to be borne by you. If after one or two
year’s labor tho laborer shall desire to throw np
his engagement, $100 should be deducted from
his wages as a penalty for such act. Security
for prompt payment of expenses incurred is to
be deposited with Messrs. Lees & Waller, New

Any further particulars yon may desire will
be furnished you with pleasure.
Yours Respectfully,

nation he has managed to excite all over Spain is
strong and genuine, and its first resnlt is to stir
this people np to a gennine hearty effort against
the Cubans. They were tired of that Cuban in
surrection, despondent, divided amongst them
selves, indisposed to any great exertion to 'save
Cuba; newspapers published articles under the
titles of‘“Cuba is Lost," “Loss of Cuba,” etc.,
etc., every mpming; they were already familiar
with that idea, and had accepted it as inevitable.
General Sickles steps npon the scene, fires off a
diplomatic note, puts the American government
in a false position towards revolutions^ Spain,
wonnds their pride and their patriotism, and
ronses against himself and ns all; that feeling
which produced the first defeat of Napoleon's
armies in Europe and carried the Spaniards
through their war of independence.
SICKLES IS DIPLOMATICALLY DEAD.
Twenty thousand good soldiers will have sailed
for Cuba by or about the time you get this
letter, and more will follow them, and a fleet
of iron-clad frigates and smaller crafts will have
sailed, superior in strength to the forces we can
pnt into those waters. Ten thousand men go
to-day from Cadiz. Meantime the General has
pnt himself Dersonally into such a position as
no diplomatist can stand up under. I send you
slips from the ministerial newspapers received
here within three days. I don’t know whether
yon at home can appreciate what tho occurrence
of such facts or the appearance of such para
graphs signifies in Spun. It means diplomatic
death. Sickles is done here, already. Nothing
resuscitates him—nothing can get him on lids
feet again—nor give him any chance of useful
ness after this.

Total.... $327,000,0<»|
At the present time, it is a conceded facttkl
$300,000,000 will provide for the expensesofl
the Government, the payment of the interest c«I
the public debt, and a sinking fond of one pel
cent, upon that debt, which will pay the wM
of it in thirty years, thus leaving, after meedql
all demands, a surplus annually of $27,000
derived from these few sources, independent
of the accumulations from the progressive »|
dustry of the country. |
The actual receipts from the sources ia»j|
under existing laws verify tho above 6tatemes|
and your committee are clear and earnest intlJ
opinion that the people should demand aBcb|
quire from the hand3 of their representitiu|
immediate legislation for the reduction of tm|
tion to the few sources enumerated, nototiriJ
presenting a simple form for the coUectioedl
revenue in accordance with a republican gttj
emment, but as tending to allay agitation of ii|
repudiation of the debt of the nation; foniil
our judgment, much of the restlessness of ik|
people in regard to that subject arises frouitiel
burdensomeness, inequality and inqakitaiil
character of the present system. The phi’ll
taxation proposed by your committee at coal
diminishes the large number of revenue ofiet&l
the great expense of the present system, uil
and abates the irritation engendered bj tbe|
manner in which it is carried out. The espisl
age upon the business transactions of the p»|
pie iq daily becoming more odions, and oa|
less some plan of relief be adopted, will pr:
to be intolerable. As before Btated, it us
required to provide means for carrying oatdtl
Government, and the payment of the price
and interest of the national debt. Taiatinil
at all times a subject of complaint, and nog
ernment should lay taxes beyond the actuals
cessities of its economical administration, t!s
they should be collected in a maimer as simd
and inoffensive as possible. Your commit
believe that they have shown how an ampler^
enue may be derived from a few sources. Tb
character precludes any great expense in t
leering the taxes imposed on them, and the i,
tem promises an exemption from the irriuft
that results from the existing plan. Tunt*
which touches the luxuries, the vices aril
follies of a people is never a subject of (
plaint, and the articles named by your com
tee as sources of revenue belong mainly to i
class. It is believed that not a single voiced
be raised against the plan thus propose*-'
plan that at once simplifies the system of *
tional taxation, relieves the people frost*

ishes official corruption, and lifts the ban
