Rttuell, tho War Correspondrnt. William IL Russell, the special correspon dent of the London Times, at the headquar ters of the Crown Prince of Prussia, in a letter dated September 16th, gave an account of the surrender of Napoleon UL at Sedan, and re lated some passages in the conversation be tween the Emperor and King William of Prussia. This letter, it seems, gave great ofiense to Count Bismarck, wbo published, with bis signature, a note worded as follows: “The report of the conversation between King William and the Emperor Napoleon, given by Dr. Russell, the Times’ correspondent, is founded throughout upon mere invention. This occurrence created great excitement, more particularly from the extreme irritability openly expressed by Count Biamarek. Re cently, however, the Prussian Government has published in tho Nord Deutaehc Zeitung a re traction of tho offensive imputation that Dr. Ruseell’a report was “founded throughout upon mere invention," and says that Russell bad “the misfortune of being slightly inocu late." The article further compliments Doc tor Bussell upon being one of the best in formed and most consciontous correspondents of tho whole European press. * Luxurious New York. A list of fourteen private residences, now building on Fifth Avenue, is givon as an evi- dencs of the growth of luxury in New York. These houses cost from $150,000 to $500,000 apiece, and that merely for construction, ex cluding tho valuo pf tho land and the furnish ing. Indeed, the sndden extinguishment of Paris ss i centre of luxury and t^ion a^ma to have Inspired New York with tho purpose to assume that vacant place. We hear of the furniture which is going into these republican palaces as representing sums of money capa ble of expression only by six figures. Bed steads whose wood-work alone costs $2,000, side-boards whose value is $3,000, ostageres costing $4,000, are among tho articles; and that this is not a spasmodic extravagance, is shown by the fact that tho leading upholstery establishment of the city keeps on hand a stock valued at one million, and does a thriv ing business. The man who can afford to live in a $100,000 boose and slccjflm a $2,000 bed stead may be considered, well off financially; and be who can arrange an establishment on •that scale, without violaUng the rules of aris tocratic harmony and propriety, has the best right in the world to 6pend his money in that way.

Is that a discharge of the duty which deliberately casts about existing remedies such embar rassments as make them but mockeries? Is that an impartial and complete protection of tho debt, which fixes upon the contract of tho par ries a condition precedent, under the opera tion of which, in almost every case, the person who seeks the protection of the law will be driven from the Courts, which the government established, with a denial of protection. When this, in what better condition is the credi; than he was before he sought the protection ? I rely with much confidence upon this view of the case; but there is another ground upon which the judgment'of the Court may be se curely based. It is the Well known provision) 1 now he looked.

He kissetl*!all tho children that came in Lis v.iy, and in Lis manner towards the older people present showed that lie was much touched by the ev- In either event, it seems to me that the law before me impairs the obligation of the con tract sued on in this case. It is said by the Supreme Court of our own State, in Hardman vs. Downer, 39 Georgia Deports, page 427, McKay, J. t delivering tho opinion, that it is “firmly settled by a long series of decisions that a State can no more pass a law professing only to regulate the remedy, though in fact impairing the obligation, than it can one acting directly upon tho terms of the con tract They all in express terms admit the power of the State over the remedy, and they all decide that if this power be so used as to violate the obligation of a contract, the legis lation is void. ” And again, the Court continue: “But if professing to alter the remedy only, tho duties and rights under the contract itself are changed, or impaired, it com&s within tho spirit of the constitutional* prohibition.” In the case before this Court, the remedy as it existed at the time of making the contract was that the plaintiff might file his petition in* Court, have tho ordinary process served on the defendants, and at the second term of the Court, upon proof of his demand as set forth in tho declaration, have his verdict, his jmtfc- ment, and then bis execution, to‘ enfarceJPfie payment of the judgment If tho oblitf^hyi of a contract consists in the Laws of force at the time of making the contract for its enforce ment, such was the obligation of this contract It was the duty o£g4be debtor to pay a given sum of money toruie plaintiff That he fails to do. In affording protection to that debt and a remedy for the creditor, tho law provided that the amount fixed by the contract should be paid unconditionally and absolutely ac cording to the terms of the contract. In the case of 'Winter vs. Jones, 10 Georgia Deports, page 19C, Ac., tho Supreme Court say “all the commentators and all the adjudicated cases upon constitutional law agree in these fundamental propositions; that the objection to a law on the ground of its impairing the obligation of a contract does not depend upon tho extent of tho chango which tho law may make in it; that any deviation from its terms by imposing conditions not expressed in Vie contract, however minute and apparently immaterial in effect, is within this constitutional prohibition.” And tho Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Green vs. Biddle, 8 Wheaton, p. 84, says: “Tho ejection to a law on the ground of its impairing tho obliga tion of a contract, can never depend upon the extent of the change which tho law effects in it Any deviation from its terms by postpon ing or accelerating the period of perform ance or by imposing conditions not ex pressed in the contract, or dispensing with the performances of thoso which arc, however mi nute or apparently immaterial, in effect upon the contract of the parties, impairs its obliga tion.” This is the language of the highest Court in the United States, in construing the Constitution of the United States. By this Act of the Legislature, a condition is engrafted upon tho contract, and this right to a recovery which before was plain, unembar rassed and unquestioned, is made now to de pend upon Lis proving as a condition prece dent to the right to recover, that all the taxes due upon the debt have been paid. The evi dence of the debt maybe negotiable; it may have passed from hand to hand in duo courso of trade. Many persons in different States, who eglW for the letter of Jiisr before and during the war, may have been the holders thereof, but yet. when the debtor is enU.A Mpon TYspuna xo xiic demands or rus creditor, the Legislature says to the creditor; “Before you can recover, you must prove this other distinct and alien fact of tho pay ment of the taxes. Upon failure to meet this new demand not made by the cred itor, bat by tbo government the right to recover is denied, tho suit is dis missed and the debt practically ceases to exist also. As shown before, and as is everywhere At the beginning of the late war, a heavy indebtedness rested upon tbo people of Geor gia. They had the property with which to discharge that indebtedness. By the casual ties and results of the war, their property was destroyed or rendered comparatively valueless, and at the close of the nnhappy struggle, they found themselves without the means of satis fying the demands of their creditors. It was felt almost universally that it was, in tbs ab stract, unjust to demand all of the indebted ness, inasmuch os the means of meeting it bad been token from them. I believe this convic tion rested on the minds of most of the peo ple, and, in obedience thereto, efforts have boon made by the Legislators to protect, as far os it conld be done, -the debtor portion of the community. In conwqncnce of decisions of the Supreme Court'off ffis State, made in reference to a former relieiumr, tho Legisla ture, at its late session, again took the matter in hand, and the result of their labors is the Act upon which this Court is now called to pare. It was on effort of the Legislative De partment to save the debtor from the demand jf the *“ “ — ‘ ‘contra: Whilst we may commend mo spirit or a leg islative body that seeks to adjnst equities be tween debtor and creditor, tho question arises as to whether, in this particular instance, just constitutional limits have not been exceeded. The Constitution of the State provides that all me oorestitution of the State provides that all legislative acts in violation of that Constitntion or of the ponstitution of tho United States, are void, and the jndicioary shall so declare them. Tho exereue of this j»wcr is delicate and embarrassing, and tha Court must be sat isfied clearly and beyond donbt, that a co-or dinate department of the Government bos in its action exceeded the Constitutional limit be fore it will declare the act void. ’"The Con stitntion is the permanent law of the lond and legislative nets which impugn its provis ions, are absolutely void. Tho matter is be tween conflicting laws, one of which must give way and the other stand. The Coart can ex ecute but one of them and it must, decide whether there is a conflict, and which shall yield. The judiciary owe n doty to tho Con stitntion above that which they owe to the Legislatnre, and when one say sone thing and the other a contrary thing, they must obey the Constitution, which is in effect to decide against the law."—10th Geo. Report, 101. It will be observed that this act of the Legis lature mokes it unlawful for a plaintiff to hnvo a verdict or judgment in his favor, rmtil he has made it appear that all legal taxes charge able by law upon the debt have been dnly paid for each year. Ho must filo with the Clark of the Court an affidavit to that effect threo months before the trial, and on failure to file tho affidavit, the suit is to be dismissed on motion. If the affidavit is made, and the f»uao js continued in Court, then on the trial, it shall be a condition precedent that ho prove tho payment of tho taxes. If he foils clearly to satisfy the Coart and jury of such pay ment, the suit is to- be dismissed.

By the Constitntion of the State, in its very first ut terance, it is said that “protection to person and property is the paramount duty of Gov ernment aiul shall be impartial and complete.” We need ndt go abroad for a definition of the term “Property." Tho Code.of Georgia fur nishes it By section 5 property includes * ‘real and personal property,” and by sections 2211 and 2213, “Personalty is everything having value inherent in itself, or the Vepre^-ntatiYe of valuo and not,included in the definition of realty.” “Personalty to which tho owner has tho nght of poasefision in .future, or a« right of immediate possession wrongfully withheld, is termed by the law a chose in action,” and tho debt contract or cause of action mentioned ; tbo Belief Act, . action; it is property within the meaning of Radicals, in tho new organization of Free. R« igionists, shows a marked advanc union sinca the seventeenth century. the term as used in the Constitution, and that property it is tho paramount duty of Govern ment to protect impartially and completely. A note or promise to pay is only the evidence of the debt, and it is valuable only as written evidence of a liability. The property which it is the par mount duty of Government to pro tect impartially and complete!j-,is the debt itself which is evidenced by the written promise. How can the Government discharge this para mount duty impartially and completely to irotect that debt ? What sort of protection, m the nature of tho case, can be afforded ? I conceive of none other than that which is d Gentile ! afforded by tho Government, when it preserves j the terms of the written contract, and inforces ompliancc therewith, tLrongh the proper J stairs to the part of the debtor; in other J ready truth General Corse, formerly of Longstrect’s corps, a pleasant looking little man, with a taste for nice clothes and good living, stood at his left hand and communicated to him the patronymic of each one who came forward to be introduced.

He said his trip in Europe had been exceed ingly pleasant and instructive, but, though he had the most attractive invitations to make his stay abroad permanent, he was unable to resist the amor patriae in his nature, and even among the most fascinating society of English life, he could not avoid sighing for his pnttit borne in Mississippi 12 He is done forever with politics.

He permitted no escape to tho mountain load of saddened thought that lay close upon his heart He kept his sorrows to himself and finally succumbed to the oppressive bu den. Mr. Davis was quite pathetic in speak- iug'of Lee, and evidently felt a deep admira tion for the deceased General. Tho Alexan drians came dropping In until six o’clock, the women making quite os large a representation as the men. Some of the visitors were old friends of Mr. Davis, and had not met him since the time he was Senator from Mississippi. General Cooper remained present daring the time the recep tion lasted. The General is gray bearded and ragged, and with the exception of being taller, is not unlike Jeff. Davis in his general appear ance. DIVISION OY OPINION. All the Alexandrians did not come to the reception. A good many of them stayed away because they held no particular respect or ad miration for Jeff Davis and thought he made poor use of his unlimited power during the rebellion, and tumbled into many inexcusable blunders. • A} 6 o’clock the last of the visitors had de parted, Jeff retired to supper, and at 7 o’clock escorted by Generals Come and Cooper, and several other gentlemen, started for the rail road station en route to Bichmond. ■ GOOD A DVICJEl T<* WOME\. riilOr GnrStifr—Boots Hlgh-Itwls, etc. A sensible medical nmu, in tho course of a long article on the fashions, gets off the following: COTTON. - Ladies generally are anxious for a fall, graceful development of the “bust,” and ap pearance which adds much to the beauty of a woman; yet many of them (ignorantly of course) adopt means which prevent the very effect they desire to secure, by allowing the pressure of tight corsets and thick cotton pads on the delicate organs which mainly give - it form, while it should be leit quite free and unrestrained, that it may attain to the beauty and grace which naturally belongs to it. Where these artificial abominations will be nsed.^let some of the light, elastic, gauze ntaterialuow being introduced, be used in ■P^HqMto-the old-fashioned pile of cotton; but theUcst-of them ore likely to do harm. As for their deceiving tho other sex (for which purpose they are usually worn,) I am pretty sure that they often fail of their inten- i ion, for men are not as verdant in such mat ters as women pay them the complimei^ of believing they are. • OPEN-NECK DRESSES. One of tho most gkmpg faults noticeablo iu tile style of dress of women, in vogue just now is the open neck dress and sacque of the past si -,uson or two, which I learn is to be in fashion ui*:dn next season; thus compelling women, (>H>lt8h enough to adopt it, to expose the chest t*- the inclemencies of tho weather, at the sea- ,.mi men protect it by additional clothing and iiMst-protectors. Tho bad results of this stylo of dress were seen in the large number of pul monary complaints in women, which received lb-.* attention of physicians daring tho past &c.t;on. Women should, be warned in time, and remember that it is only a short step from ’*» slight cold” to a merciless disease, which w i 11 cause them to regret their fooiislihess when too late. CARTES AND BOOTS. - It is no unjust slander on the women of our country, to say that theiT loweT limbs are want ing in the beauty and development of those of women of most other nations. Tho cause-yff this are various. Want of exercise^Ior apaft that is not used decrcaooa in size—right, small boots, which prevent the free movement of the muscles, and cause a dread of setting the foot down squarely, so that their walk degenerates into more of a frightened, mincing style, than is necessary. These causes are pretty well known; but there is another prolific source of unshapely garters. Every woman is <£• 'vid red mark on tho skin left r being worn in the usual manner even for a short time. Now garters never should be worn so tight The stocking should be long enough to come so far np on the limb os to be easily secured, without excessive pressure; or the “stocking support er,” now being adopted pretty extensively, should be used. The worst result produced by tight ligatures is the affection called “vari cose veins,” in winch the veins enlarge, as sume a knotted appearance like a coiled snake, and sometimes burst, disfiguring the limb for life. This is often produced bx tho obstruc tion to the free passage of the tlie veins, from the tight' !f grtpr limb.

As many of'our readers have seen Mrs. Yel- verton, the following article may not be unin- teregting: iMWWMpWM '^R'iscount Avonmore is dead; Major Yelver- ton succeeds to the title,” is the brief telegram which recalls a chapter of recent romance that is known to half the world. The Yelvertons, Lords of Avonmore, are neither a very ancient nor a very distinguished race, yet two of them havo attracted attention in their day—Barry Yelverton, the founder of the house, and Major Charles Yelverton, B A., at present entitled to its honors. Barry Yelverton was an Irish lawyer in days when a steady JimmJ and aJlK ahpt wana m awt nlioitld be remembered by eieijWunaUi sarv to advancement as eloquence or knowf- luinf in wnmfln'a flws'lffiq mv conceded, the State may legislate upon the remedy—it> may change that: Jot instance, it m ty require h pr.».vi;:ion bond where none was required when tho contract was made; it may chango the form of tho process, petition, declaration or any other mode of procedure, but all the while the contract between the par ties remains undisturbed, and whatever changes may be made by the State in the modes of procedure, when a result is reached, it must be the contract result fixed by the par ties. Whilst tho State may legislate npon the remedy and control the inodes of procedure in its courts, it fi never allowed to sub stitute for the contract of the parties a legis lative contract And this power of the State over the remedy cannot be so used as to im pair the rights of the creditor, or lessen the duty of the debtor; and whilst it may change rales of evidence os when parole testimony is allowed by a subsequent Legislature to be heard, in reference to a contract, which was before inadmissible, but this parol testimony is admissible only to show what the contract is, and is never heard to lessen tho right of the creditor or the duty of the debtor. The Leg islature has no power to establish rales under pretense of regulating evidence and preclude a party from exhibting his rights.—Cooley’s Constitutional Limitation, page 3G8. Tho Supreme Court of Georgia in the case above cited, which was oue arising under the homestead law, in speaking of tho right of the Legislature to make an exception as against pre-existing liabilities, make this re mark: “Should it make a grossly excessive ex emption, so as to show that its object was not so much to protect its people from destitu tion as to enable debtors to screen available effects from the payment of their debts, it would be the daty of the Court to interfere.” This is but the expression of a principle which is pretty generally acknowledged and I quote the sixth section of this act now before me to show that the restrictions placed npon tho creditor by this act were meant really to deny to him every available remedy for the enforce ment of his demand. I have not deemed it necessary to eater at large upon this subject, nor to quote from many authorities. The principles involved, although difficult of application, are generally acknowledged, and it is with regret that I find myself called upon to declare, as I now do, that sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 12 of this act are unconstitutional and void. JEFF. DAVIS. Ills Reception ut Alexandria—Grand Re union of the M Scce$h”—Jeff. Dl*gu*te«t •with Politics. Jefferson Davis left Alexandria Saturday evening, at 7 o’clock, for Bichmond, where, after spending a few days, he leaves for his home in Mississippi. It hardly needed the enterprise of the Gazette to inform the folks in Alexandria that Mr. Davis intended to hold a reception at 4 o’clock in the afternoon of 1 ~ - : the fact by intuition, and, though no public Announcement of it was made, all sorts of people dropped in at tbo Mansion House pre cisely at the hour named. A short timo previous to 4 o’clock, a wagon drove up to tbo hotel, out of which a tall gen tleman jumped, aud, after stretching his legs, proceeded leisurely up the steps to the en trance. Half a dozen melancholy-looking men \\t re r- irei t!*. >t ,-v._ :i t tiio time, and, npon hearing the roll of carriage wheels out side, concluded tho ex-chief had arrived. Bat it turned out to be Another man, though two or three had shaken hands with him under a wrong impression before the mistake was dis covered. * Finally r. wagon drove up, out of which an other tall until stepped, vri aring a ditrk over coat of light material and a low-crowned soft black hat. He was readily recognized Ly people on tbo sidewalk, wbo walked up and snook hands with him, as Jeff Davis. OrENING OF THE RECEPTION. General Corse, who assumed direction of the informal ceremonies, announced to the waiting crowd that the reception was about to j sary to advancement as eloquence or knowl edge of tbo books—though a contem porary of the brilliant Irishmen of the last century, could not hope for eminence unless he was born eloquent and learned. Yelverton shot and read and drank his way up to the highest honor of the Irish bar. He was a “new man,” but he died a peer, and he had been Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer.— He was one of those fortunate Irishmen who lived at the timo of the Union—“fortunate because he hod a country to sell.” More dis tinguished, at least more notorious, than any who have since worn tho pearled coronet of Avonmore is the present peer, better known as Major Charles Yelverton, of tfcfe Boyal Artillery, a distinguished Crimean sol dier, a wearer of the Victoria Cross. “An officer and gentleman,” -and defendant in the cause celebre of “Thelwall vs. Yelverton.” It is some twelve years since that famous case was decided in the Common Pleas of Dublin, decided by jury and by popular voice in fever of the real plaintiff, Teresa Longworth. On the record the plaintiff was a Yorkshire trader,' and the plaint that Major Yelverton refused to pay for necessary supplies to his wife to tbo extent of £187. The answer was a simjflo de nial of tho alleged relationship between him self and Miss Longworth, and an assertion that sho bad been his mistress. They had mot in the Crimea, where Miss Longworth had acted as a volunteer nurse. Subseqm they met again and the personal charms rare accomplishments of the lady conquered the Crimean hero. As he confessed afterward, he sought her rain, but was unsuccessful, and then on two occasions went through a form of marriage—once in Scotland, per verba de pre sent*, and once in the pleasant little village of Bosstrevor, on Carlingford Lough, established iu any incorporated and organized city or town, by manager* chosen as follows; Sec. 4.

I have concluded my. list of complaints against “Women's DrcesV fbr the present, and may be thought unreasonable in some of them; but os physicians are tho only persons who know of the bad effects of some features of the dress of women as worn to-day, Add both the early, mental and physical develop ment of a nation is controlled to a great ex tent by its women, the great importance of the subject is my only excuse. Men care more for the health and comfort of their moth ers, wives, sisters and daughters, than for their own; so it becomes woman, for the satis faction of others, as well as for the proper discharge of the important functions which belong to her, to maintain herself in the best possible physjcaj, condition. “Who wuM nut give a tri What she would give whole y Sec. 5.

He _ tail has been chopped ilw'.vn on it t. d for a Catholic priest to bless tho marriage of a Protestant and a Papist— They traveled together as man and wife, but after a timo events took tho old course; the Major deserted Miss Longworth and married Mrs. Forbes, the widow of the distinguished Professor Edward Forbes. Thelwall vs. Yel verton was tried to decide whether in fact Teresa Longworth was wife or mistress.— Whiteside, now Chief-Justice of Ireland, and the most distinguished advocates of the Irish bar were arrayed on each side, and on the bench was the keenest Irish lawyer of his dayf Chief Justice Monahan. Tho jury found for the plaintiff that there was a Scotch marriage, and that there was an Irish mar riage. Major Yelverton escaped through a side-door, aud his wife was drawn in her car riage by relaj-s of Irishmen, after the maunee in which Dublin does honor to its favorite. That was the hour of triumph of Teresa Yelverton, nee Longworth. Thenceforward her life was a series of lawsuits. In Scotian J and in the House of Lords her title to the name of wife was contested step by step, and fought as bravely by her. But though her touching letters brought the tears of admira tion to the eyes of Chancellors and ex-Chan- cellors, and her own personal advocacy in forma pauperis might have touched sterner hearts’ than Lord Colonsay’s. she was cash- and her motion as “ pursuer * was de nied. To commence the fight over again was indeed possible, but pecuniarily aud physically it was wiser for her to yield, fora legal triumph would havo added noth- ^ ing to the sympathy extended to her, no more generated in grinding, cocnequently the doth than the victory of Major Yelverton’s lawyer relieved him from the universal odium which his candid avowals and his course brought down on him.
