A Reporter of the N. Y. World has interviewed Mr. Drury, one of the loa ders of tho International Working mens Society in this country, and lias obtained his views on the present an and future prospects of the society. Th e following extract from tho interview gives tho avowed purpose of the or ganization. R.—What are tho objects of tho so ciety ? M. D.—They aro throo T in number. First, The abolition of standing ar mies. Second, The abolition of fron tiers. Third, Tho unity of peoples. R.—By what means does the socie ty intend to attain those ends ? M. D.—By the one arm with which wo fight all opponents, by the most terrible weapon ever used against a despotism or false government —edu- cation. £3FThe editor of the Macon Tele graph Sf Messenger thinks tho temper of man, which at this time is fierce, boligerent and cruel, affects even tho atmosphere and causes the earth to be afflicted. Hear him : It is noted that tornadoes, oyciones, hurricanes, earthquakes, waterspouts, hailstorms, tremendous rains and Hoods, loud thunder, and fearful light ning, and blighting drouths, scorch ing heats and bitter colds afflict the earth to an unusual degree. Nature sympathizes with the temper of man, which is gerce, belligerent and cruel. The milk of human kindness has run dry. Tho world ceases to run on the principle of sunshine and attraction, and is driven onward by the fierce en ergy of mutually repellunt and hostile forces. Even the gentle sex is show ing symptoms of tho common infec tion. When will things mend ? .. ■ An enthusiastic Radical paper winds up a long article favoring Grant’s re nomination by saying, “ho is bound to take.’’ That is the principal ob jection to him. He takes everything that is offored to him, from a pint of peanuts to a £IOO,OOO. Wedded to liis Profcwion. Col. John Black, editor of the Eu faula News, was recently incarcerated in Eulaula jail for refusing to give the name of a correspondent of his papor. Death-bent on editing his paper at all hazards, he gots off tho following by the light that streams through the nett-work of that mansion : IN ECFAULA JAIL. “llero shall the Press, the People’s rights maintain.”— An Old Hong. “For time at last sets all tiling* even, And if we do but wait the hour, There never yet was human power, Which could evade, if unfoigiven The patient search and vigils loag, Os him who treasures up a wr#ug.” Scott. From the heading of this pioco, it will be soen that wo date our notes from a placo wo did not think e ven a Radical Judgo would have dared to send us, under tho circumstances. Be cause we refused to givo the Grand Jury the name of tho author of a com munication signod “Law and Justice,” ihe Judge, lion. E. M. Keils, (so are they all, all honorable men,) ordered us to prison, after releasing us the day before (Tuesday) from tho charges which he could uot sustain. Without any warrant of law or practice, in violation of the Constitu tion of Alabama, in disregard cf his high official oath, to vent a petty spleen, and still pettier spite, he has given us quarters in the town jail, a place nearly as miserable as his Court Hoping our friends will recollect that “Time at last set all thmig* even,” We remain,—in jail, JNO. BLACK. Eufula, (Jail,) Juno 21, 1871. F. S. —Since the above was in type through the clemency (Heaven save tho mark,) of this incorruptible and in fidlille Judge, we are once more free, so-called, but wo do not know in our present climate, the lease of such lib orty. Will the Washington Ku KluxJ Committee mako a note of this out rage f flic Now Departure’. This being the engrossing political issue of the day, tho public should be kept nlivo to its import, iu order that there may be no excuse for rushing blindly into it and accepting its pro. ' visions as wholesome Democratic food. Thus far the Democratic Press of the State has been a unit in opposition thereto, and if the victory is uot won iu tho opposition, nothing iu tho shape of a forfeiture of principle can present itself to disturb an easy conscience.— The following sensible views aud well grounded hopes we copy from the La grange Reporter: What has the Democratic party to gain by the proposed departure ? Tho proposition is made, as we understand it, to swell the Democratic vote by ac cretion from the Republican party, by making concessions agreeably to what is termed the conservative element of that party. Tho proposition in brief I is, that 2,648,840 Democrats are to ro [ linquish long cherished and e6tab i lisliod principles and go over to, at most, 886,281 Republicans, admitting, : for the sake of the argument, that a 1 gain of that many votes is necessary i for a Democratic popular majority.— j The advocates of the “new departure” j oonteud that there is a respectable mi -1 nority of the Republicans dissatisfied | with tho policy and conduct of their i party, and want to quit tho organiza • tion, if they can do so without the ap ! pearanco of inconsistency. Is it inoro important that 2,648,880 Democrats should be inconsistent, by conceding everything demanded by tho whole Republican party, than tuat 826,201 disaffected Republicans should bo con sistent in adhering to Republican prin ciples under Democratic auspices, in order to secure Democratic success in tho next l’rosidontial election ? That is what we understand by the proposed “now departure.” Tho Democratic party has beon grad ually, but surely, gaining strength ev er since 1868. In overy State it has made advances that have excited the alarm of the Republicans to a degree that they scarcely know the proper policy to pursue in order to save their party from defeat and annihilation.— All this has been accomplished with out any repudiation or modification of the national platform of 1868—with out making any departure from the well understood principles of party.— While the party is thus gaining strength in the Northern States, and the Southern States being fully en franchised by the removal of all re strictive laws disfranchising them, what is the use of adopting a now line of policy, or anew political creod, in order to drive from tho party a largo proportion of its members who can not swallow the fourteenth or fifteenth amendments as accomplished facts and no longer political issues before the country ? The introduction of this “new departure”—this new feature— into the Democratic party will demor alize it, and will lose more to it thau it will gain for it—for there are thous ands of Democrats who will not vote such sentiments, whether presented by the Democratic or tho Republican party. honast man is the noblest work of God,” and bo he engaged in politics or anything else, ho is not to to be droaded if honest. If a politi cian and he has the manliness to speak the truth, he should bo revorenced and have tho confidence of the people, whatever his politics may bo. Tho following statement from tho Repub lican organ of the Stato of Alabama is the experience, no doubt, of thous ands of outraged and insultod Repub licans, and one of the few who has tho manliness or a sufficiency of in tegrity of purpose to acknowledge it: Montgomery, June 23. —The State Journal, tho organ of the Alabama Republicans, says: ‘‘We have lived in Alabama ovor a quarter of a century, and never felt our life and property insocure on account of political opin ions. Sincere in our Republicanism, we felt safe because we love our peo ple, and honostly believe wo are pur suing a course that will redound to their peaco, happiness and prosperity.” The editor denounces “those calling themselves Republicans who try to get office by stirring up discord and strife and poisoning tho minds of vo ters, in secret dens at midnight, where honest men and sincere Republicans are plotted against, simply because they are honest and sincere and have a social standing in tho community. Such Republicans may feel unsafe.”— He concludes as follows : “We believe that every honest man is safe in Ala bama, no matter what his political apinions are.” Washington, June 23.—Judge Bus teed, of Alabama, is before the Ku klux Committee. We had boon told a yoar and a half ago, confidentially, by a citizen of Huntsville, that there was a Ku-klux organization in the northern part of tho State. Persons and property were as safo as in any State in the Union. Public quiet and tranquility were as essentially preserv ed in Alabama as any part of the country. The character of persons lidding subordinate official positions under the State Constitution was gen- erally notoriously bad, both as to in telligence and honesty. He had been in the State since 1805. Having pre viously been appointed District Judge of Alabama by Mr. Lincoln. There had been no obstruction to the admin istrational affairs of his office or the laws of the land, except in one in stance, when the Republican Auditor of Alabama disobeyed an injunction of court, for which he was fined and imprisoned. The greatest respect was paid tho judicial authority by lawyers, suitors, juries and all other parties.— The feeliug of the people toward the General Government, he thought, was to obey the l&ws, however obnoxious though there was a deep feeling tha the laws were not equal and impar tial. Fart of tho Rev. Mr. Larkin’s ovi- 1 denue was read to witness, who suid it' was entirely untrue that an indict ment had been found in Bustood’s court for a violation of the Civil Rights Bill and that has not yet been tried, i Larkin, Bustoed added, is a man apt to make wild statements without an accurate basis. Bustecd knew a man named Willard Warner who applied for exemption from jury service in his court in 1867 or 1868 on the ground i of being at the time Senator of the Stato of Ohio. Tho financial condi tion of tho State under Lindsay had improved. The people of Alabama render full obedience to tho laws, and thore is in that Stato ample securities for life and property, with a continued improvement in all public and private relations. These answers were all elicited by direct questions—-witness being under oath. A Legend of Koine. There is a legend that in the city of Rome there formerly stood an image with its right hand extended and on the forefinger the words “strike here.” Many wise men puzzled in vain over tho meaning of tho inscription ; but at last a certain priest observed that whenever the 6un shone on the fig-1 ure, tho shadow of the finger was dis cernible on tho ground at a little dis tanoe from tho statuo Having marked the spot, ho waited until midnight, and then began to dig. At last his spade struck upon something hard.— ' It was a trap-door, below which a flight of marble steps decondod into a' spacious hall, where many men were sitting iu solemn silence amid piles of gold and diamonds aud long rows of enamelod vases. Beyod this ho found anoth or room, a gynneium filled with beautiful women rtftlining on richly embroidered sofas ; yet hero, too, was profound silence. A superb banquet ing hall next met his astonished gaze; then a silent kitchen ; then granaries loaded with forage ; then a stable filled with motionloss horsos. The whole place was brilliantly lighted by a car buncle which was suspended in one corner of the reception room ; and op posite stood an archer with his bow and arrow raised in the act of taking aim at the jewel. As the .priest passed back through this hall, he saw a diamond ltilted knife lying on the table; and wishing to carry away something wherewith to accredit his story, he reached out his hand to take it; but uo sooner had he touched it than all was dark. The archer had shot with his arrow, the bright jewel was shivered into a thousand pioces, the staircase had vanished, and tho priest found himself buried alivo. A REroETED Heavy Express Rob bery—A£lßO,OOo Hacl. —We see it stated in the Nashville Banner that the express car on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad was lately robbed of some £30,000 while on the road. We learn from a gentleman who ar rived on the train from the West that it is commonly understood that the amount takon from the car was over £IBO,OOO. Ho reports the robbery as having taken place in tho night, while the train was in motion, and while the messenger was asleep, on a long run between stations ; and that the car was entered by an opening being made in the top, and the iron safe drawn up —tho whole being done with out any alarm or discovery whatever, until the work was completed. This reported robbery, if true, is a bold ono and the biggest haul on re cord. We believe nothing but a bur glar-proof safe, with combination lock, and a trusty, well armed, wile awake watchman, is certain to prevent rob bery.— Atlanta Sun. Sherman and the Indians.—Gener al Sherman has been talking to the remnants of tho Indian" nations as sembled at Ocmulgee, in the Indian Territory, and he plainly told them that it was useless for them to attompt 1 o stand in the way of the constant ex pansion of tho white race. The Gen eral tells an unwelcome truth, but one which nevertheless must bo under stood sooner or later by the vanishing relics of barbarisms, who have been crowded farther and farther westward, until they have met the refluent wavo from the shores of tho Pacific. If now, wo could only persuade the rap idly diminishing tribes that they must accept civilization and absorption ! Tho Macon Tel. & Meta, in a sum mary of the cotton statement says the Receipts up to last Sept, were 3,869,- 644 bales, against 2,713,323 bales for tho corresponding period of tho previ ous cotton year—excess 1,056,601 bales. Tho excess of exports over last year is 1,044,732 bales, or within a lit tle short of forty thousand bales of the entire crop excess. The stock in Liv erpool is only 257,000 bales in oxcoss of last year. 2’he stock of Amorican cotton afloat is 2,000 bales in excess, whilo that of Indian cotton afloat shows 130,657 excess; total European stock excess, including cotton’afloat, is 389,- 747 bales, while the American stock is 28,076 short of last year. The dis patch prognosticates such an advance as will compensate, in part, for any da crease in production this year. We hope it will be sufficient to square the beam altogether. Evergreens—those who don't take the papers. A New York milliner rides in a $6,- 000 carriage. £s?“Seven thousand desks for tho schools of Mississippi were recently bought at the price of $7 apeice, mak ing a sum total $49,000, which the school fund is now to or has paid. It has been found that identically the same desk is suppliod elsewhere for $3.50 apeice. The question among tho Mississippians now is, who pocket ed the $24,000, of which the school fund was robbed in the transaction ? The Radical State Superintendent of Education is thought to hare had “a finger in tho pie.” tiLitai.u's Titn urii Berlin, June 18, 1871. The German troops wore entertain ed yesterday en masse by the munici pal authorities of Berlin. Festivities and official dinners werej tho order of tho day everywhere. Iu the evening the houses of the dignitaries of state were splendidly illuminated. Within, dancing and other gayotics; without, admiring crowds of poople listening to the music that streamed out of tho windows into the cool, quickening air. AT THE OPERA. Astor the grand state dinner at the royal palace a gala performance was given at the opera house, to which ad mission could only bo had by special cards of invitation signed by the Chief of tho Imperial Household. ArrEARAXCE OF THE HOUSE. At eight o'clock tho houso was filled to its utmost capacity and presented a sight of groat splendor. There was a gorgoous display of uniforms every where. The gold trappings and dec orations of the Imporial staff glittered like stars in the brilliant gas light which surrounded them. Oil entering the house tho scone seemed to me al most dazzling to behold, swimmiug be fore my eyes liko a moving sea of light. THE ARRANGEMENT OY SEATS. The officers of tho court service oc cupied the pitj. Tlio diplomatic corps filled tho proscenium boxes, in which everybody, except tho American Min ter and myself, wore gold embroidered uniforms. The front row was given up entirely to tho ladies. Tho maids ot honor occupied the second tier. entrance of the imperial party. The Emperor, tho Empress, the Crown 1 *.nce and the Crown Princess, with their suite, entered the imperial box at eight o’clock precisely. At their entrance the audience aroso in perfect silence. The Emperor bowod formal ly thrice ; the Crown Prince did like wise. The Crown Princess was charmingly dressod in pale silk. On her head she wore a tiara set in diamonds. She was seated i to the right of the Empress, while the Crown Prince sat by the Emperor. - Around them clustered a galaxy of Princesses and Duchesses. The box next to that of the Emperor was filled by the Imperial Princes. PANEGYRIC ON THE EMPEROR. . The curtain rose at ten minutes past eight upon a landscape, which Frau lein Eckhaidt discovered in tho fore ground. She spoke the prologue, which was a panegyric on Frederick William 111. At the conclusion the Emper or rose iu acknowledgement of the compliment. Noxt came an allegori cal peice called “The Hoimkelir” (the return,) by Rodenburg, after which music under leadership of Eckert. Then followed a monologue and the representation of the legend of “Bar harossa,” illustrated by tableaux vivants. APPEARANCE OF THE KAISER ON HORSE BACK. Then came a procession of warri ors, and last of all a figure on horse back, representing the Emperor Wil liam. At this the audiance arose in boundless enthusiasm, cheered and shouted “ Lcbchoch /” thrico. At the ■ xmo timo thore was waving of hel mets and flourishing of handkerchiefs. The Emperor bowed repeatedly to the audience and then retired. THANKSGIVING IN THE CHURCHES. To-day thanksgiving celebration took place in all the churches, which were filled by tremendous crowds. The na tional prayer was read, and hymns of praise chanted by the choirs and con gregations. The Cathedral was splen didly decorated with flowers and flags. A joyful solemnity characterized the whole service. Te Deum was played by tho orchestra and sung by the choir magnificently, ascompanicd by the voiees of tho vhole congregation. A Chicago shoemaker, by the death of an uncle, fell heir to $40,000, Af ter receiving his money ho thought the best way of onjoying it was frol licking and high living, and he found plenty of friends to assist him in spen ding it. After about three years of ridiculous drunken sprees with dissoluto compan ions, he had squandered his fortune, and his “niends” forsaking him and his body almost wrecked, he was forced to return to his bench to earn a liveli hood. Ho had workod steadily nearly a year, when a lawyer entered the shop one day and enformed him that another uncle had died, and left $20,- 000. When he received tho informa tion, ho started at tho lawyer with a look of mingled sadnoss and astonish ment, and sorrowfully ejaculated, Je sus Christ! Have I got to go through all that again ?” A church in Little Rock, Ark., had to employ another preacher because the deceased interfered with a deg fight which one of the young male converts had set agoing in front of the pulpit in tho midst of the services. The youthful convert fired at the pas tor. He said ho believed it was his dog fight and ho wouldn't stand any foreign interference. £ST = The San Francisco Chronicle is publishing running local sketches of the young dandies of that city. Hero is an extract: “Frank G. Newland comes next, a blonde, a society man, and sings'sweotly. He does not, how ever, valse well—the ladies say it is be cause his figure is not, formed for that divine amusement; he is not strong enough to do what one of our celebra ted dancers declared ‘How is it,’ said a friend, ‘that all the women want to raise with you, and swear nobody can valse so well—how do you manage it ?’ ‘My dear fellow,’ replied this dancing sharp’ ‘I just hold them, and let them kick.’ ” Pig iron is now made is Alabama, it is stated, thirty-three per cent, cheaper than in the most favored por tions ol Pennsylvania. The ores are free from sulphur, and by care in man ufacturing them into pig iron, the phosphorus they contain can be re duced to the 5-100tb of one per cent, n the pig metal. A \eiv iiii(l liiiporlnut llntcr pri»u— OrgHiiizuliun wf Hit: Albany, viobil«‘iind Ncu Or- Iran* Kuilroad Com puny* Wo aro gratified to stato that pro visional organization was made in this city yesterday, to be made permanent on Mio bona fide subscription of three million dollars and the payment of ten per cent, in cash on or boforo the first day of December noxt, for the purpose of building the road. The directors are Wm. M. Wadley, John Screven, W. S. Holt, L. E. Welsh and Nelson Tift. Nelson Tift was elected Profident and T. M. Cunning ham Secretary and Treasurer. Tho Central Railroad and Banking Company subscribed £500,000 to the capital stock under the terms of the provisional organization. This road is to be operated as a trunk hue for all connecting railroads, ami it is believed that there is no other line of roads which has boon or can be namod that would so materially bene fit Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans and tho railroad interests with which they are connected. By this line Mo bile, only 450 miles distant, would bo at 20 miles per hour, within 22J hours of Savannah, and New Orleans, 600 milos distant, within 30 hours. At 30 milos per hour, Mobilo would be within 15 hours and New Orleans within 20 hours of Savannah. Tho gap to be filled by the construction of this road is from Albany to Bollard, only 195 miles, aud if the enterprise should prove successful, Savannah will bo in direct communication with the improvements and trade of tho en tire lino of Gulf States. The figures givon above present tho question in a light that cannot fail to command at least serious con sideration. The fact that the project is favored in tho outset by the Presi dents of our great linos of railway should, of itself, command it to public favor. Tho matter is iu the hands of those two roads and of tho people of Savannah, Mobile and Now Orleans. And now T ANARUS, what will they do with it. It is something new to us, and perhaps to them; and will therefore require thought before action; but it comes to us with strong endorsements and cogent argument, which should be al lowed their full weight in any action that may be taken in the premises. The sheme, we would add, is pecu liarly fortunate in the outset in falling into the hands of a gentleman so com petent to push it forward to success, and who shares so largely in the pub lic confidence. The name of Coionel Tift as President is a guarantee alike of the merit of the work, and that its affairs will bo managed with good judgement, energy and fidelity. We shall have more to say on the subject hereafter, when it shall become further developed and call for a practical de cisiot — Sul llep. Conference of Politicians. —Th e Louisville Courier-Journal says. “We learn that the Central Demo cratic Committee of Tennessee propos es to call a conference of South ern polliticians to meet at Nashville duing the cojning summer. Wo hope they will carry out the suggestion. Just now we are wholly at sea and stand most in need of consultation.” We considor it immaterial of the coun try whether this conference of poli cians” is held or not. The safety of our country lies in the common senso and patriotism of our people, not in tho shin-plastering and quackery of professional politicians. Between the bickerings and conflict ing pill-prescriptions of these sell as sumed doctors the patient may “kick the bucket.” Politicians, as a gen eral thing, have been a nuisance to our country for years past and tho people should abate it. We want sound Democratic principles enforced. Theso alono can save the country.— True Georgian.
