Hence it is thnt he dwells at ' pe ars as,if de shojc kinder jilted and frowd me.' sui-h length upon alleged fraudulent practices at tin polls in the South, and calls upon Congress to take notice of them. He dots not even hate the tin t or intelligence to conceal his oh-, jeet. for he exposes his hand fully when he says, •• I tru-t the House of Representatives and the Senate, which have the right to judge of the election returns and the qualifications of their own members, will see to it that every case ot the violation of the letter or spirit of the fiflienth amendment is thoroughly investigated, aud that no In in-tit from such violation shall ac crue to any power or party.” In using these words Mr. Hayes evidently ei ther forgets that he is addressing a body which has long since passe d upon and si tiled the qualifications of its members, ami which will have noth ing to do with the qualifications ol'the members elect ol the Forty-seventh Congress, or in his zeal to prepare the public mind for the infamous pr gramme of his party hereafter he is led to Stult’fv himself by trespassing upon the legitimate province of Mr. Garfield, when he shall send in his first message as president of the United Slates to the National Legis lature. The next prominent feature of Mr. Hayes' message worthy ot special •lolieo is that he revives that old, threadbare theme of his regarding civil service reform. It is singular that he will persist in hypocritically professing a desire for such reform, when it is a notorious tact that during the four years ol his de facto admin- istration he has converted the subject into a laughing stock of the counfy. How ludicrous it is to hear him grandiloquently expressing a desire that CY< ry officer of the government shall be "as free as any other citizen to express his political opinions and to use his means for their advance ment, and at the same time, “ fed as sale as any private citizen in re- lusitiJy.Tll demands upon his salary for political purposes,” when the country, front Maine t<> Texas, anil from the Atlantic to the Pacific, knows that during the recent campaign, and just beiore the election, he made a tour to the far West tor no other purpose than to turn his back upon the capital at that critical moment so thnt govern ment officials might be financially bled to the last dollar of the’r salary, if m oils be, to secure a republican victory. Mr. Hayes must indeed ini 'gine that the people of the United Mates can viry easily be imposed tq on. With the exception ot these two features of Mr. Hayes’ message which are pre-eminently characteris tic of liiir—the rest of the paper is quite interesting and instructive. It treats of polygamy in Utah, our in let nal affairs and foreign »elations, and concludes with a review of the various reports of the heads of de partments, and with certain tecotu- mendaiions regarding the District of Columbia, and the health of the tut' *tional capital.

The not sav where ‘"she should spring into life with a platform, the chief plank of which was the non ad mission of Hebrews to any public of fice, or auy position of importance public or p’ ivate—in other words an anti-Jewish-Know Nothing party. Yet «uch a party has appeared, and is endeavoring to force its peculiar and b : goted views and doctrines on the German Parliament. The new organ ization, which calls itself the Anti-i Semitic League, is of recent origin, having been established only a lew years ago, chiefly throught of exer tions of Pastor Stocker, court preach er. Origiually directing its effects against the Socialists, it blanched off into a crusade against Jews and now for some days its leaders have aired their views at length iu the German i Parliament. The followers ot Stocker, however, have little political strength or influ ence themselves, and the Jews ot Ber- liii and Germany have nothing to fear from them. They are interested only in the position that the government, or rather Bismark, will take on this question, and this is sufficiently uncer tain and doubtful to cause them con siderate anxiety. As far as can be ascertained, Bismark’s mind is not ful ly made up on this |>oitu, although he is somewhat disposed to take sides with Stocker against the Jews. A hill recently offered by his 8' n in Par liament was evidently directed against them, while the conservative semi-of ficial press and the authorities openly encourage the auti-Seruetic move ment, which is to stem the rising tide of Jewish power and influence in the German Empire. But the best indictment of Bis- mark’s real view on this question is given in a late order of his secretary to collect for him the opinions ol the foreign press on his question and lay A man in a prayer-meeting at Great Springs, Ga.. declared that he was ready to die, and awaited the sum mons with impatience.

DR. TY.NG OX THE MIRACLES AT LOl'RDES. Rev. Dr. Stephen II. Tyng, Jr., a well known Episcopal minister of New York, on Sunday last preached upon the miracles ot Notre Dame de Lour des in the Pyrenees, taking the ground that miracles had actually been wrought there through the power of prayer, lie visited Lourdes last sum mer and found 50,COO visitors a week passing through the little village in the mountains. The bandages and cnitehcs of the sick and crippled who had been cured and thousands of let ters of thanksgiving* convinced Dr. Tvng that the lai'.h there shown was honored by God.” The Herald quotes Dr. Tyng as follows: “We never shall know what the powers of truth are until we find a man who knows all the truths of God aud.is free fam all the errors of man. It 13 this faith at the shrine of N otre Daine de Lour des, and probably at Knock, in Irer land, that is honored by God. God could read as well a- bear prayer, aud here was evidence of individual faith in that fact. He had spoken of the cures there. It would never do to dis miss such well authenticated facts. He had been severely criticised in the newspapers as an ecclesiastical bigot. It there was a meuii hair in his head he would like to pull it out. There was no bigotry about him. The Roman church, so far as its organization was concerned, was abovfe all societies ol believers. In his own puny impotence it was not his to accuse the Roman church. He could not find it his heart to do so. * Show me a man of any doxy,’ he said, ‘and it he is doing good work I will hail him as a fellows vork- er lor man’s progress. 1 can’t say that those praying at the shrine of Lourdes ore not praying to God, and it,is im possible to say they are deluded, as their prayers aro answered.’’—Ex.

The first tarin on the fast mail schedule of fifty hours from New York to New Orleans, arrived in Washington Sunday morning forty- six minutes late. The mails and bag gage were transferred in lour minutes to the Richmond train, which arrived in Richmond in three hours and one minute, with 30,000 letters and 20,000 pieces of matter for points south of Virginia. Twenty-seven minuteB of lost time was made up between Washington and Richmond, and a dispatelj, received from Weldon an nounced the arrival*- of ‘the train on time. The time from Washington to Alexandria—nine and a half miles — was ten minutes. The average time from Washington to Richmond, in cluding stops, was thirty-eight miles per hour. Superintendent Myers, of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Petersburg Railroad, gave as a toast to Superintendents Jameson, Jack- son, Bailey and Vickery, of the rail road mail service, who accompanied the train on its trip : “Fast mail and slow politics.” A special to the Bal timore American says: *’ All alon the route the depots were crowded with people, who wanted to see the train which left New York that morn ing, nml some of the exptessions of wonder and surprise were most amus ing.

It is understood that one of the main reasons which induced General Garfield’s present visit to Washing ton, wa9 the expressed wish of Mr. Hayes to confer and advise with him on various points ot public policy. A Washington special says : “ Since his arrival General Garfield has seen the president two or three times, and has discussed with him the advisability of certain views and recommendations which the president has thought of in cluding in his message. President Hayes has indicated a desire to furth er the purposes or policy which the incoming president may have at heart, and has also intimated that whenever their views are in harmony he would like tbe new administration to carry out or continue any iiue of policy which has been a feature of his ads ministration. For this reason it is assumed that the annual message of the president to be sent to congress on its assembling will, to some degree at lca-t, Inreshadow the views of Gen eral Garfield, it it is considered as set tled that there is no probability ot an extra session of congress in the spring, when of course General Garfield would have the opportunity to proclaim his purposes and policy at the outset of his administration. This is said to be the first time a retiring president has paid the courtesy to his successor of consulting with him as to his views, and president Hayes has set a verj’ good example in the matter. Mr. Dorman B. EatoD, who was a mem ber of the civil service commission, came here several days ago, and his presence has been taken to indicate that the president would in his mess age advise some further action by con>> gress to promote the cause ot civil service reform, which he has always professed to have so much at heart. This view is also taken in connection tberoora for spktoom with the very sound and wholesome B | icct ncros , onc ell q <)t the plreSdy, and always with the result— a decision in favor of the Jews as uses ful citizens. It was discussed in Eng land years ago, when the question of the admission of Jews to Parliament was opened, and the English people almost mianinmously, welcomed them to their national legislature. The en- people, with scarcely a dissenting voice, declared that America wel comed tbe Jews heartily and thor oughly, and repudiated with contempt the bigoted prejudices against them, which remained as a horrible rjlic of the barbarous feudal ages. It is un necessary to saj* anything about the sentiment of the people of Louisiana on this point. They have more than once sent Jewish citizens to represent them ih the national senate, and were proud of their representation in the Confederate Cabinet Dy a citizen ot the Jewish race and religion. If Prince Bismark really leaves his decision to the press ot the world, he will immediately squelch Stocker’s movement, for he is uot likely to find anj - sympathy with it save in Rouma- □ia aud similar countries, which the light ol progress, civilization and lib erty has not yet reached.—K.

Ttiere aro fashions in carpets and in wall paper, in candies and in conversations, in architecture and farcy work, and there are pretty and useful things which ought to be fashionable, but are not yet, because people don’t know of them. Light colored cloths are still popu lar for jackets, and these are made warm looking by having darker plush or velvet colors. The shape of these wraps differs so little from those worn last year that, it will be a matter of small expense to remodel last year’s jackets, the only cliango needed being the collar, culls and pockets of plush. WHAT JUDGE SAYS. HOPKINS opinions as to the tenure of office ex pressed by General Garfield on Friday last to the representatives of the lode- pendent Republicans of New York who called upon him. if, after con sultation with General Garfield, Pres ident Hayes should determine to rec ommend congress to take action in this matter, the Democrats in con gress could do no better than to sig nalize the last works of their control of the two houses by the passage of sonic measure to purify and elevate the civil Service ” A correspondent of the Philadel phia Times at Harrisburg admonishes his journal “ not to be surprised if General Grant should turn up as the candidate of the Can.cron and Hoyt anti-Grow combination for United States Senator.’’ The correspondent has also made the discovery that Grant tan qualify himself “ in a day ’’ as an eligible candidate, as the constitutions ol requirement is that a Senator shall simply be an “ inhabitant’’ of the State. It is turther argued that Grant and Cameron would l>e “in perfect accord” and that he (Grant) “would require no division of patronage,” as Cameron’s friends are Grant’s friends. Tbe ex-President, it is further con tended, is tbe only candidate that can beat Grow. The country will await with breathless suspense the result of this senatorial struggle. ' now TO KEEP A HUSBAND AT HOME. ‘Julia’ writes the Oil City Derrick a long letter asking how she can keep her husband home nights. She says she has done everything she can think of to please him, but he will insist on leaving her alone each evening. The Derrick suggests to Julia that perhaps Bhe does not make her husband’s horde pleasent to him, and then goes on to advise her as follows: Now, Julia, you go down town to day and buy a keg of beer, placing it in one corner of tbe dining room. Strew saw-dust over the floor, and put half a dozen coarse, wooden boxes Hang room, invite half a dozen of your husband’s male friends to spend the evening. Then, Julia, you and vour servants dress yourselves up in long stockings and night-diesses, and when your friends have assembled with their ci gars, pull aside the sheet you have previously hung np, and skip tr im one side of the room to the other, on the tips of your toes singing, ‘Tra-la= la-lel’ and jumping as high as yon can at every third step. This will prove very interesting exercise tor yourselfand servants and prevent your husband from staying away. If your husband’s male friends ave married, invite their wives to assist you in the evening’s entertainment If this doeseu’t keep him at home evenings you’d better trade him for a yellow dog, and keep the dog chained. GEORGIA’S GOLD. The Washington Star learns from what it esteems good authority that “Gen. Garfield has been assnred, personally and by letter, by several Southern Senators that they intend to heartily suppirt his administration, in the hope that sectionalism, which is so fatal to the South, may be for ever removed from American politics.’’ Would it uot be well for those South ern Senators to wait' until they find out what sort of an administration it is going to be ? It is somewhat risky to pledge support to a tiling in ad vance of its existence. , FACTS ABOUT COTTON. Cotton, upon whcli the Soutli hangs its hopes, is as fickle a commodity in price as ever etigaged the attention of the mercantile world. Never has this been more fully illustrated than in the pa9t ten or fifteen days. Previous to this, as we look over the run of the market, we cannot help but think that every influence, both :u Europe and America, was used to depress prices and keep them at a point low enough to enable the mills and speculators to lay in large stocks—in fact, for about one month prices run so evenly that a few points either wav would cover the advances or declines. All at once a panic seizes it, and a complete state ol demoralization has existed—prices have advanced at panic rates, and in some instances declined as rapidly ; but on the whole, the bulls have de cided advantage over the bears, in flicting heavy losses on their. During the intense excitement of last week future contracts would ad vance at one bound nearly one cent; in another dispatch they would decline 20 to 50 points, only to rally and re gain in a tew moineuts mure almost all that had been lost. Never in our experience has the New York Cotton Exchange record ed such sales. One day they claim that over 500,000 bales were bought and sold, .showing the wildest excite ment, as the bulls and bears fought over it. As it run yesterday we can’t he'p but think that even now cotton is seeing its lowest prices till another crop is made. Taking into consideration the un favorable tall and disasters to certain localities we' can’t believe that the crop will pan out over 5,750,000 bales, even if it should teach these figures. We only regret that the recent ad vauce did not come one month soon er, so that our Southern planters would have reaped the benefit.—Ex. Kev. Dr. Harrison, Chaplain of the House of Representatives* in a recent lecture at Washington, said that he believed in the gold region ot Georgia, ithin five hundred feet ot tne sur face water level, there was not less than 8500,000,000 of the precious metal accessible. The veinsa:e innu merable. They run Irom four inches in breadth to fourteen feet. While varying in value, the quartz in that region almost invariably contains some gold, though sometimes not more than forty cents to the ton. He had assisted at the assay of some that yielded as much ns $120 a ton, and this taken promiscuously from a four foot vein, and he had seen a socket yielding $32,000 a ton. He relieved that in the immediate vicinity of Dahlonega, the ■ entre of the North Georgia mining disu’iet, there was a preset-1 supply of $100,000,000 of gold within a radious of twenty miles. Here the production of gold has been reduced to such a science that it only costs thirty cents a ton to excavate, bring to the crushing mills, and amalgamate. The future of the gold-bearing region of the Slate, he believed, would develop into a pro duction of trom $1,000,000 to $10,- 009,000 per annum. The Hon John L Hopkins has had targe experience and observation as lawyer and judge. He was six years on the bench of the Atlanta Circuit, He writes: Atlanta, Ga., April 21, ’80. Rev. A. G. Haygood : Aly Dear Sir .’—As Judge of the Atlanta Circuit from the year 1870 to 1876, I had to deal with a vast kinds of criminals and every j. offence. I gave it close attention, and it is not an .exaggeration to say that in nearly all of it, strong drink was an active agent. In some form or other it was almost always present. It is impossible to tell what percent age ot crime is traceable to this cause. It is a rare and exceptional case if it has not whisky in it, some where or somehow. It is entirely safe to say that, without it, there would be but little crime. My ob servation in the courthouse for thirty years has been to the same effect. Undoubtedly it is the great mis chief maker. In this life, reason and passion contend for the mastery. In the struggle, whisky does double duty —it weakens reason and strengthens passion. Aside from the crime, grief and pain that flow from it, it costa vpqre probably than all other agents combined. It takes a very liberal part of what the people make to pay iu way. Without it taxation would be comparatively nominal. To it, in a large measure, we are indebted for bad government, faithless officials, heavy taxation, want and woe. Truly yours, John L. Hopkins. reading for tiie lunatics. A few days since we wrote to the superintendent of the Lunatic Asy lum, askiug him it he approved the idea suggested by the Macon Tele' graph, of sending occasional bundles of papers to the inmates. He replied as follows: We endorse fully the suggestions of the Macon Telegraph, and feel grateful to any one, who will be so kind as to send papers for our unfort unate charge. In ninny instances they serve to entertain and amuse our pa tients, and thereby distract their minds from morbid self contempla tions, or unpleasant fancies, and their value in some cases, cannot be over estimated. Very truly and gratefully yours, T. O. Powell, Slip’t &c. In accordance with the. wishes ex pressed in the above letter, we pro pose, on a certain day ev-ry week, to send a package of exchange papers to Dr. Powell. And we suggest that our brethren of the pre«s do the same. fVatASriltr Via Ann Aon rtViri'of tr% *oVinr TWENTY DOLLARS RE WARD. It comes to us by the way ot the Columbus Enquirer-Sun that a gen* tieman in CoDyers, Ga., oilers the above sum as a reward to any person who will, on sight, read the following withont mispronouncing a word : One morning I found myself in a queer locale amid avast area of burn ing sands. To my relief I descried an oasis, but alas! it turned out to be a mirage. I could see, as I thought, cascades, geysers, and gewgaws inde scribable.

There seems to be great anxiety and impatience on the part, ot the people to see the revised edition of the Bible, that they may see what changes have been made. The trouble with rao-t people will be that they don’t know enough about the Bible to recognize the change when they see it. We heard a man say that he con sidered this unauthorized meddling with and changing of the sacred Book little less than blasphemy.
