Jooucrjai & ** The Education of the Heero.” <‘Its Rise, Progress and Present Status.” Tie foregoing is the title of an address delivered before the National Educational Association at its late meeting at Chau tauqua, New York, by Gustavos J. Orr, L. L. D., our State School Commissioner. If Gen. Toombs ever made the prophe cy “that he would one day call the roll of his slaves from Bunker Hill Monument,” Its disappointment has long since been -settled; but if at the time it was said to have been uttered, someone had prophe sied that in I860 a representative South erner would stand before an audience of educators at the North to vindicate the educative influences of slavery, to main tain the sincerity of Southern people, and to pledge himself and his section to the promotion of educationnmong the colored races, such prediction would have been regarded as chimerical. The address be fore us realizes the complete fulfillment of such a prophecy. A brief outline of the address is as fol lows : After expressing the belief that the time is now come when the people of both sections are prepared to discuss this subject in candor, he advances the propo sition that slavery was the divinely ap pointed tutillage by which the negroes were to be brought from the barbarism of Africa to a higher plane of civilization. He shows that slavery in the Sontb was a - servitude with many modifications, by proving that the right of personal security was guaranteed to the slave by the law, that the right of personal liberty and . «—«■— theory, were, in fact, allowed to - - - - be exercised to a very great The Brown-Westmoreland Quarrel. Apropos of the duel, which was only arrested by a bond of $25,000 from Mr. Brown, and. one of $5,000 from Jlr. Westmoreland, to keep the peace, the former being even prohibited from leav ing the State for a hostile encounter, we print, from the Constitution, the letters of the principals which brought ab out the difficulty: DR. WESTMORELAND TO MR. BROWN. “Sir: It was said that Grady, the man of ‘facts,’ acted as Governor in the absence or Colquitt, but a change has evidently been made. Joseph E. Brown and sou seem to officiate for the last few days. Business appears to be very brisk, too. The regular Governor’s usher is quite busy admitting visitors, and the cha-ac- ter of business transacted can be interred from the constant ingress and egress of members of the Republican convention while in session, and the reports of lead ing colored men of the city who are in vited to visit the executive office daily since the adjournment ot the convention. Brown, Jr., it seems, was a necessary sec retary to the acting executive, as the number of checks or amount of cash to be paid out required more labor than one man could perform, together with the planning and contracting incumbeut upon him. The object is evidently to contract for, instruct and pay men to electioneer and vote for Colquitt for Governor, and i.legis lators favorable to Brown. No very large amount is known to have been paid to one man—fifty dollars being the largest reported—but the aggregate will make a considerable sum, including free tickets, which, we learn, all the delegates receiv ed from the said acting Governor aud his secretary. Now, we would advise the citizens of Georgia who have business with the Gov ernor of this State to find out from the newspapers where he is to make his next to a very great ex tent. The familiar intercourse of white and black, the patriarchal nature of the master’s government,-the refining influ ences of daily household association with superiors, the kindly ministrations of the mistress, especially in times of sickness; the rjuasi parental authority assumed by the old nurse,cr the old “uncle;” the fact that children of both races were play mates, though not on an equal footing, and, lastly, the work of Christian churches among the colored people—all these are pointed out, with others, as strong educa tive influences upon the negroes. The result of these influences are shown in the fact that many of them became skilled laborers; almost all were industri ous (far more so than those who have grown under the new regime); they were peaceable and orderly during the war,aud very many of them exhibited genuine evi dences of the impress of religion upon their characters. Coming to the new order of things, the speaker directed attention to the ready acceptance, by the whites, of the provis ions in the reconstruction constitutions, for the education of the colored people by the States. When new constitutions have been adopted in States where the white constituencies have been in power, similar provisions have been incorpora ted. “This marks the era of the admis sion of the negro, with the free consentof the white race, to the full rights of citi zenship, including the right to free edu cation.” The address concludes with the statis tics of the expenditures of different South ern States for this purpose; aud with the pledge which Dr. Orr felt authorized to make for Georgia, aud for the South, that to bring about the education of the negro “we will do all that in us lies.” We hail as the dawning of a better day, the time when the sentiments of this ad dress could be uttered before a Northern audience, with full confidence in their candid appreciation. The Northern peo ple will yet be able to do justice to South ern slavery. They will learn that a servi tude which expressed itself in such swings as the pathetic “Massa's in the cold, cold ground,” and others of similar strain, could not have been a cruel oppression. They will find a truth of the same sort in the fact, that whenever a negro is in trou ble of any sort now, he goes to bis former master as Ids best friend. We believe that our people are prepared to admit that we committed a grievous mis take, just after the war, in not making efforts to retain the confidence and friend ship of the newly emancipated race. If such efforts had been made, if we had shown the same zeal in convincing them that we were their friends, that the car pet-baggers exhibited in proving, or tryiug to prove, that we were their enemies, we would have been spared the numberless evils of Radical misrule, and the negroes would have been saved from the delu sions of the Freedmeu’s Savings bank, “the forty acres aud the mule.” Happily, this calamity is “overpast,” and the whites now see that the intellec tual and moral elevation of the negro, is alike their interest and their dutv, aud the colored people realize that their true and best interests are allied with those of the white people among whom they live. In view of the possibility (we hope not probability) of the existence of two political parties among the white people of the South, the education of the negro is a public necessity. Igno rance is the favorite sphere of the dema gogue; over it he wields a terrible power. Our people have often been astonished at the fact that in elections between Demo cratic and Republican parties, the negro vote has been unpnrchasable. This is a favorable sign, and justifies the hope that intelligence will put our colored citizens beyond the reach and influence of dema- gogism and deception. One other striking fact exhibited by the negroes, is their teachableness. Their desire for knowledge, and their interest in the education of their children, havG been surprising. They make to us the pathetic appeal for “ more light,” and we are under the duty of Intellectual charity towards them. Not only by organized schools should we aid their progress, bpt In every house hold the white members should seek to raise the mental standard of their ser vants ; every employer should seek to do the same among his colored employes; every preacher and public speaker should go before them, as often as opportunity permits, in their assemblies. Dr. Orris address is ably written, deep ly suggestive, truly patriotic, and should be widely read. Flaisted Probably Elected.—A Boston telegram says*tbe latest returns received at the Democratic headquarters from 406 towns give Plaisted 13,403, and Davis 73,542. The towns to hear from gave in 1670 a Fusion majority of 176. The returns will give Plaisted a plurality of 113, if the towns to be heard from vote as last year. Doubtless this is correct.

This state of tilings will doubtless continue till you shall say to Norwood, Go into our house aud overturn the tables ot the money changers, and make the executive office of Georgia no longer a den of political traders and intriguers. Many good and true colored men, to their praise be it said, spumed with scorn and contempt the bribes offered a freedmau for his vote. J. G. Westmoreland. To this publication Mr. Brown replied the next day as follows: JULIUS L. BROWN TO DR. J. O. WEST MORELAND. “Sir: At the head of the fourth col umn on the second page of your paper, dated September 12, 1680, is an article headed “Bargain and Sale—The office of the Governor is defamed and the people disgraced by its use by Joe Brown to buy up negro votes,” and signed “J. G. West moreland.” The writer charges that Joseph E. Brown arid son used Governor Colquitt’s office while the Republicau convention was in session, and since, to purchase col ored voters, and that the sou drew checks or paid out the cash for that purpose, etc. As I am the only one of my father's sous who ever drew a check in his name, or who ever at any time had authority to do so, I conclude tiiat he alludes to me as the son of Joseph E. Brown mentioned in his article. In reference to said article, I have to say that it contains more lies to the square inch than I ever before saw in au article signed by J. G. Westmoreland. As an ev idence of it, I state that I was not in the State Capitol during the whole time that the said convention was in session; aud further, that I have not been in Governor Colquitt’s office but twice since the Demo cratic convention adjourned early August, and those times were as follows: On the 25th of August I called at Govern or Colquitt’s office upon his invitation to converse with him about taking a young friend of bis into my office. I was also there on the 11th of September, last Sat urday, to examine some papers of the file which I desired to see. Now, I defy J. G. Westmoreland to make any proof to the contrary. I never drew a check in my life, either in my father’s name or in my own, in Governor Colquitt's office or elsewhere, to pay for a colored vote or any other vote or to influence one, nor did I ever use any cash or any free ticket or any other thing or things of value for anysucli pur pose, and I defy J. G. Westmoreland to prove to the contrary. I have not sought public office, and have never been an active politician, and am not, therefore, a target for lying poli ticians to aim their shots at. Ihavebeen attempting quietly to attend to my own private business, and that committed to me by my clients, and by the members of the Young Men’s.library association, and I do not know why I should have been made a subject of J. G. Westmoreland’s malice. I pronounce his statements willfully and infamously false and mali cious. Julius L. Brown.” More Concerning the Brown-West* moreland Emhroelio. The Atlanta papers devote many col umns to the publication of the volumin ous details of the proposed duel between Mr. Julius Brown and Dr. Westmore land. To judge from the acfimonlous tone of the correspondence throughout, and the failure of all attempts at media tion, there is but a slender hope for any peaceable adjustment of the difficulty hereafter. Among the statements given to the public relating to this unfortunate quarrel is the following by Senator Hill: B. H. Hill & Son, Attorneys at Law, Atlanta, Ga., September 20, I860.—Editors Constitution: I see some disposition to criticise Justice Tanner for inserting in the bond exacted of Mr. Brown, a provision not to leave the State for the purpose of breaking the bond, etc., and also some information that this pro vision was inserted by the consent or at ilie suggestion of Mr. Brown himself. I shall leave the State to-day and will be 'absent several weeks. I now make this brief statement and leave it with you for publication if vou deem it proper to do so: 1. Justice Tanner inserted the provi sion alluded to at my instance, on my ad vice, and I am responsible for it. With the facts before him he did right. It wa3 his duty to require such a bond as would effectually prevent the threatened hostile meeting. A man who is under arrest, charged with intent to break the peace by a hostile meeting with another citizen of this State, and who procures his release Irom such arrest by a solemn pledge un der seal not to prosecute such intent for a hostile meeting either in or out of the State, has no right to use the freedom thus procured for the express purpose of seeking such hostile meeting either in or out of the State. This is sound law as (veil as good morals, and can be main tained by argument and on authority. » 2. I have been the personal friend of Dr. Westmoreland for a quarter of a century. There is no man whose honor I would more sacredly guard. He is a true man and a good citizen, and does what he be lieves to be right. If in this matter I al lowed myself to be partial at all, it would be to him. But when he gave his solemn pledge under bond to his'State and to every citizen of bis State, to • keep the peace toward Julius L. Brown, anil theu sought in any manner, or at any place to break that peace with Mr. Brown, he did what he himself will earnestly condemn and deeply regret in bis cooler moments. 3. It was also at my instance that Mr. Brown was required to give a bond for the large sum of twenty-five thousand dollars. This was done becanso it wa3 deomed necessary to secure , compliance with the obligation to abandon the pur pose of a hostile meeting. A lighter bond had failed to secure this from Dr. Westmoreland, and a harsher bond-was therefore required of Mr. Brown. Maine Election. Boston, Sept. 20.—Senator Blaine, who is in this city, sent the following telegram to Hon. Marshall Jewell to-day; Boston, Sept. 20.—I left Maine on Friday last. Intelligence reaches me here to-day indicating that the telegrapltic votes published by the assoc’ated press were some cases modified by the clerks’ re turns as they reached the office ot Secre tary of State, where they are open to the inspection of the public. These modifica tions are of such character as to render the contest Between Davis and Plaisted extremely close, possibly requiring official returns to determine which is elected. Official returns cannot be counted or even opened until the meeting of the Legisla ture in January. The cry of fraud in the count, as put forth by Mr. Chairman Bar- num, is sufficiently answered by the fact that both parties hi Maine have recourse to precisely the same authority for their figures—first, telegrams of the associated press, and, second, the clerks’ returns from the several towns. The agent of the associated press at Portland, Mr. Stephen Berry, is implicitly trusted by all parties, and is incapable of willful misstatement or evasion, llis experience in summarizing election returns is as long and as varied as tiiat of any man in the country. Up to this hour there is not a particle of dispute between the parties in Maine touching the returns from a single town. The on ly possible opportunity for fraud In the election returns under our laws is in the French plantations of Aroostook, where the assessors sign returns expressed in a language with which they are entirely unacquainted. The Democratic English- speaking agent who makes out returns has abundant opportunity for misstating facts I do not know it, but I do assert and ] do know that frauds have been committed there in past years by Democratic agents, and I repeat that nowhere else in Maine is fraud practicable. The fraud of last year was not in the returns at all, but consisted wholly in Gov. Garcelon aud his council rejecting returns that were honestly and regularly made. Mr. Chairman Banium is also in palpa ble error when he assumes that the elec- ion returns should he at Augusta the day after the election. He forgets that Maine is larger in territory than the other five New England States put together, aud that the most extreme southwestern town in Maine is nearer to any point in the State of Delaware—nearer, indeed, to the city of Baltimore, than it is to the French plantations on the Upper St. Johns by any practicable route. In this statement I speak of actual distance. In point of time the comparison would be still more striking and significant, for a man can go from Augusta to Chicago as quickly as he can go from Augusta to Fort Kent. The talk of Bamum shout the Fusion- ists of Maine being counted out, is mere rant. There is not a Democrat or Green- backer in Maine who bus the slightest fear of such a result. The late Gov. Clifford, of Massachusetts, used to boast that the Whig party was the only one then in ex istence that would count itself oat oi power, and surrender to its opponents on an adverse majority of one vote, alluding to the case of Marcus Morton, as governor. The Republicans of Maine, when beaten in 1878, could have retained power on two or three technical points in the count. Those who planned the Garcelon count out of a year later, expected the Republicans to do it, and suggested a tear of it, but there was not a single member of the party that ever harbored such thought. If Governor Plaisted shall have a single vote more than Governor Davis, tiie executive chair of Maine for the next two years is as well assured to 1dm as though liis majority were ten thousand. [Signed) J. G. Blaine. New York, Sept. 21.—A dispatch was received at the headquarters of the Dem ocratic National Committee last night, from Fort Kent, Maine, giving Plaisted ICO majority—making his majority in 497 towns 174. Five towns still to be heard from which gave, in 1876, Talbot (Deni.) 62, and Conner (Rep.) 27. Portland, Sept. 21—Returns of all but one town, Slieridan, have been re ceived, giving a plurality of 197 for Da vis—less 20, winch Sheridan gave for Fusion last year; but partial comparison made with the returns to the Secretary of Stale, shows errors enough in the tele graphic returns to give a clean plurality to Plaisted. These returns will have to be compared with the returns to the Sec retary of State, in order to establish their correctness, and as soon as the Secretary is beard from, the comparison will be tel- graphed. Boston, Sept. 21.—The Journal, of Augusta, Maine, telegraphs a statement of the vote by counties, aud says there are 375 scattering vote3, and that Davis has 100 over Plaisted. Several towns and plantations are yet to be heard from. Be sides the uncertainty about the vote of the towns yet to be received and the prob able inaccuracy of some of the figures al ready given, there is also a question about the inaccuracies which appear in the re turns, all of which, with tho close vote, render the result so doubtful that it can only be determined by au official canvass of the returns at the opening of the Legis lature. Pobtland, Sept. 21.—Errors having been fonnd in telegraphic returns to the net amount of 1-5 of 1 per cent, copies of official returns have been carefully footed aud compared with footings received from Augusta. An error is found of 100 in the footing of Penobscot county. Seven hack towns are added, and the final result is, Davis 73,640, Plaisted 73,814; Flaisted’s plurality, 174. The scattering votes were not on sheets received here, but Augusta footings, 875, is probably correct. This result must be very nearly correct, although some towns are still not official. The Demo cratic State committee, although their ta bles are not complete, agree that they will come out very near this. Although these figures are from official returns, au official canvass of them is not made until the Legislature metis in January, aud on ly that body takes cognizance ot errors in them. The plurality amendment is carried by a large majority. BELAYED EDITORIAL NOTES or a Brief Trip to Tennessee-—The Finest Country Sent In the South. Daring his'recent visit to Nashville, the writer, a guest of that .prince of clever fel lows and genial journalist,'-Mr. S. Cunningham, rode wit]} him to the CHEATHAM RESIDENCE GROUNDS, situated about three miles from the State house, in the rear of Vanderbilt Universi ty- There is a romantic history -connected with this princely establishment. The present mistress of the domain, which might well put to the blush the palace and Ducal preserves of any of the petty German suzerains, was tho daughter of an humble Presbyterian minister, whose circumstances were so much reduced that his child was forced to resort to her needle to eke out a daily support. To say tiiat she was simply beautiful, would fail far short of describing this lovely girl. Though petite it stature, she was a very sylph in form, and possessed of attrac tions both of mind aud physique rarely equalled. It was while thus contentedly plying her modest vocation that the fair maiden attracted the attention of Mr. Franklin. A MILLIONAIRE PLANTER, whose broad acres aud numerous estates in Louisiana, Mississippi and elsewhere had made him famous,' even during the palmy days of the slavery regime. At once he was a captive at her feet, suing with the devotion of a belted knight of old for her hand and heart. Report has it that the amorous swain and master of a thousand bondsmen, was so delighted when his suit proved successful that he forthwith settled upon hjs inamorata i magnificent estate and superb allowance. Together they lived for a number of years, their union blessed with several children, none of whom, however, sur vive. At length the rich planter himself, was gathered to his fathers, and his beau teous helpmeet left a widow. But the annealing hand of time gradually as suaged her sorrow, and when the HANDSOME AND ACCOMPLISHED ACKLEN knelt at her feet and plead his cause, she first listened, then loved, and finally yield ed to his importunities. Some have been so ill-natured as to say that her first marriage was a union de convenance, and her second a love match. But there is no evidence to sustain these assertions. In due time the charming widow gave her hand to Mr. Acklen, who is the father of HON. JOSEPH ACKLEN, M. C. from Louisiana, and tiiat gentleman, who was possessed of exquisite taste, immedi ately set about beautifying and adorning, with all the appliances wealth can afford, their beautiful summer retreat near Nash ville. The winters were spent in the soft atmosphere of Louisiana, surrounded by sunny cotton plantations and waving fields of sugar cane. But when the days length ened and the sun began to mount upward to the zenith, tho happy pair aud the little ones that were voucliafed to them always returned gladly to the refreshing shades of their Tennessee home. And indeed, by the legerdemain of ex quisite taste, lavish expenditure and skillful experts, they had succeeded m converting what is naturally a splendid panoramic landscape, into a perfect vision of loveliness. After the lapse of additional years, however, agaiu the remorseless angel of death, with his sharp scythe, smote the husband and father of the household, aud Mrs. Acklen was • AGAIN A WIDOW. Several children, liowevor, the pledges of their union, remain to comfort the stricken mother. One of them, the mem ber in Congress»from Louisiana, is again a candidate for re-election, and another, the lovely and graceful Miss Pauline, we were delighted to meet. Again the wings of “Old Time” went circling on, softening sad memories, cica trizing gaping wounds, openiug up new scenes and acquaintances, and gradually bridging the chasms created in the past. FOR THE THIRD TIME the widow, scarcely less lovely than in tho heyday of her girlhood, and still a star in the fashionable world, was loved and wooed by one every way worthy—her present husband, Dr. W. A. Cheatham. The Doctor is a fine specimen of the cul tivated gentleman, aud assisted his wife, still well preserved, elegantly dressed and handsome, in doing tho honors of their magnificent establishment. It was a lovely autumnal afternoon,when the skies were cloadiess, the air bracing, and ail nature in her best attire, that, with Cunningham as our guide and cicerone we entered the spacious grounds of Dr. Cheatham. These embrace near a hun dred acres, all artistically laid out In smooth drives and wiuding paths, tho in tervals between covered with green grass neatly shaven, and interspersed with rare flowers aud beautiful plants and shrub bery. A lofty observatory forms a fitting central ornament to the scene, and nu merous and extensive « CONSERVATORIES stocked with the rarest plants and flowers, covering the whole field of native aDd ex otic productions, exhaled their fragrance and charmed the cy6 of the visitors. Here and there the plash of fountains too was heard, and gold fish disported in the clear waters of numerous reservoirs and lake lets. But our time was short, and able to pause but a brief season amid these silvan scenes, we ontered the pala tial mansion of the proprietor and rang Excursion. An Editor Shot New York, September 20.—A special from Maryville, Mo., gives the following particulars of the shooting of P. H. Talbot, editor and proprietor of the Greenback Standard, of that city: The Doctor was last seen in Maryville on Saturday even ing at six o’clock, after which hour he de- larled for his home. He reached his tome safely, and there found a neighbor fanner waiting for him to go to see a sick child. This he did, returning home at about nine o’clock. According to the statement of his son, Albert, a young man aged twenty-four, after coming home his father went into the chamber where his mother was lying on the bed, and after taking his coat and vest off, sat down on the bed. Albert says that ho was at this time sit ting by a window readiug, with his annt resting on the window. At the moment his fattier had his hand up to liis side, aud the bullet shot from outside came whis tling iiito the room, shattering the pauo of glass and striking his father, first cutting off two of his fingers and then passing into and entirely through his side, grazing the leg of Mrs. Talbot and lodging in the wall beyond. Immediately upon being shot, the Doctor sprang to the Uoor and cried, “Murder! I’m shot,” and tried to reach a gun that was standing in the room. He could not do so, and fell hack on a bed. The son then grasped the gun and went to the door, where ho heard hurried foot steps passing by the front of the house. He opened the door and saw a retreating lonn at which he fired, hut without effect. This is ail the family appear to know about the matter, and uo clue to the per petrator of the horrible crime is knoivn. Dr. Talbot was a Greenback speaker and writer of considerable prominence, and during the pas’ two months has been ed iting the Greenback Standard, which he has owned for a year past. Thv- de ceased leaves a wife and a largo family of children. His death has cast a gloom orertlie entire community, and no efiort Kill be spared to bring the perpetrator of the deed to speody justice. It’s generally easy to tell the girls who have participated in engagements. Their acos show traces of powder. BY TELEGRAPH A Combined Korement on Victoria. Denver, Col., Sept. 22.—Advices from Santa Fe are that on the,24th instant the United States and Mexican troops will make a combined attack on Victoria’s hand, now in the Candeleria Mountains in Mexico. The forces employed in the movement will number about 3,000. A Santa Fe special says: At daybreak on the 19th, eighteen of Victoria’s Ap- paclies attacked the San Jose stage sta tion! sixty miles from El Paso, and cap tured all the stages, stock, and 120 horses, belonging to El Faso citizens, and killed a Mexican. Fleod in Texas. Galveston, Sept. 22.—The News lias the following special from Uvalde: The most damaging flood ever known in this section occurred on the 17tli and lSih. The Sabine andNueces rivers overflowed their banks! severely damaging crops and sweeping away fences, houses and stock. A Mexican was drowned in the Sabine. Foreign. Paris, Sept. 22.—The Evenement pub lishes a conversation between one of its contributors and M. Waddington, in which the latter states that no formal proposal was made to lum of a Russian alliance against Germany, but that a pro posal was made to M. Gambetta through a Russian grand duke, who was staying in Paris at the time. M. Gambetta merely replied: “We shall see.” LaHore, Sept. 22.—By a landslip at Natiuital, one of the hill stations of north west India, the following were killed: L. Taylor, assistant commissioner on the road police; Rev. M. Robinson, chap lain; Major Morphy, of the 40th regi ment; Mrs. Morphy; Mr. Morgan, road Mil). Bull; Capt. Fredrick Worcester, Mass., Sept. 22.—Upon the re-assembling of the convention the committee appointed to nominate candi dates for the remainder of the State tick et, reported as follows: For Lieutenant Governor, Geo. Dutton, of Springfield Secretary of State, Jonathan Arnold; Treasurer, Wilbur F. Whitney; Attorney General, John M. Raymond. The report was adopted. The committee on resolutions reported a-piatform, affirming the principles of the party as set forth in the platform adopted by the national convention at Chicago: declaring that the government should issue and control the volume of the money of the people; favoring the use of the specie reserve of the treasury in the payment of bonds; denouncing the national banks as impoverishers of the country; demanding that soldiers shall receive as good a dollar as bondholders opposing the increase of the army, aud the granting of public lands to railroads insisting on the rigid enforcement of ilie eight-hour law, and protesting against all monopolization of laud. The resolutions were adopted. The sentiment of the convention, as ex pressed in the debate on the nomination of new members of the State Central Com mittee, was overwhelmingly against any thing like fusion with the Democrats, but a resolution approving the action of Solon Chase and his followers in nominating a straight Greenback ticket in Maine, was laid on the table by a vote of 65 to 3. A resolution condemning the action of Gen, Butler in seceding frem the Greenback party, was voted down by a small major ity. The convention theu adjourned. A Disabled Crew. Key West, Fla., September 22.—The American bark Caribon, from Aspiuwal anchored oil' tho Toi tugas on the 14lii inst. in distress, her captain and two men having died at sea, and all hands being sii k except the mate. The pilots put representatives of tho weavers recom mend that the whole of the funds belong ing to local associations, amounting to the sum of Jt'12,000, he amalgamated and placed at the disposal of tho wages com mittee [o support tho Accrington strikers, If this Is agreed to, the strike will proba bly not be averted. The feeling in Ac crington is reported to be vory determined on both sides. At a meeting of operatives at Burnley yesterday there was some opposition man ifested to the strike, aud a motion to con tribute a levy of three pence per loom to support the strike was ultimately rejected in favor of a levy of two pence per loom. London, Sept. 22.—A dispatch says that M. Carnot has accepted the ministry of public works, that Marquis DeNoailies definitely declined the ministry of for eign affairs, and that post has been offered to Admiral Janses, whose reply is anxious ly expected. The health of Admiral Dupal is so bad tiiat he cannot accept tho ministry of marine. The steamer Teutonia, Liverpool for New Orleans, took oat 150 British agri culturists for Texas. London, Sept. 22.—A Paris dispatch to the Times says: “Nothing is more strik ing than the almost perfect unanimity with-which the French press accuses M. Gambetta of having caused the present crisis, and having thus disturbed the na tional tranquillity, solely because M. De- Freycinet, iu his Moutaubau speech, ven tured to exhibit himself as a far-sighted man. With tho exception of two or three papers,the whole press protests vehe mently against this imperative interfer ence by an irresponsible person, and conies to the conclusion that the real and only possible solution of tho question is that M. Gambetta shall take the pre miership. It would be a great mistake to attribute this view only to M. Gambetta’s adversaries—his nearest friends regard it as a necessity.” London, Sept. 22.—A dispatch from Ragiisa to the Manchester Guardian says the foreign official reports from Scutari represent that the Turkish troops near that place are dying with lever at the rate of 200 daily. A ilUpatcli from Corfu to tho Manches ter Guardian says a decree has been signed calling out the Greek reserves. Paris, Sept. 22—A telegram from Ua gusa says the Montenegrin commandant at Podgoritza has imprisoned the principal Mohammedau inhabitants. This has great ly irritated the Albanians, and increases the difficulty of surrendering Dulcigno. London, Sept. 22.— The Manchester Guardian, in its commercial article this morning, says: “ Business throughout the market has been very quiet—almost lan guid. Ou the whole, the tendency lias oeen rather downward, bat uo marked pressure to soli was observable. The slackness was, to a considerable extent, due to the fall in the cotton market, and tlio consequent hope of buyers that they will be able to do a little better by con tinuing to hold off, aud also partly due - to some being already liberally supplied. “The threatened strike has not had any appreciable influence. It is hoped that tho struggle will be averted. Everybody who is practically acquainted with the tiade is aware that neither manufacturers nor spinners are making any profit at present, and it is thought probable that the operatives are gradually becoming aware of this. Since the present agita tion began the margin between cotton and cloths, and between yarn and cloth, has diminished.” Paris, Sept. 22—A new cabinet has . _ „ been' definitely constituted, as follows: at the door. A polite servant ushered us j M. Jules Ferry, president of the council °-*“• 1 and minister of public instruction; M, overseer; _ ^ Goodridge; Surgeon J. B.

Sullivan; Dr. liotchill, j stricken with Ohagres fever, and Second Lieut. J. B. Carmichael. { London, Sept. 22.—The Times says the into a gorgeous apartment and ere Ion;, Mrs. Cheatham, richly but tastily apparel ed,, received us with the true refinement and cordiality of a Southern lady. Her manners were free from affectation, quiet and dignified, and in appearance she might well pass for one twenty years her junior. After a little Dr. Cheatham and Miss Pauline were introduced, and an animated and agreeable conversation en sued. By request, they showed us over the house, which is fitted up and furnished with regal magnificence. The very bed chamber of our host, with its elegant boudoirs, tapestry carpets, satin bed covering, splendid mirrors and numerous articles of ornament and rertu, must have cost thousands. The parlors, too, were models of convenience and beauty, their walls being literally covered with paintings of ancient masters. In the family gallery we noticed three splendid life-like portraits, which were exquisitely executed at a cost ef fifteen thousand dollars. One of them represent ed our hostess when in the first blush of maiden loveliness, and a more beautiful picture is seldom to be seen. Another delineation was that of Mrs. Acklen, Mr. Acklen aud their boy Joe (the Congressman), then a chubby infant of two years. The group was singularly handsome, and wo could well imagine from the looks of the gallant husband that the second marriage was indeed a love match. Copies of other recherche original pic tures adorned the walls, which were pro cured regardless of expense. One com modious apartment was devoted to bil liards, books, smoking and other amuse ments. There was an air of cosiness, united with a magnificence, about the whole place, almost Eastern in its tout ensemble, which could not fail to charm the visitor. In a conversation with our gentlemanly host, Dr. Cheatham, he stated that the ’rounds, statuary, conservatories, paint ings and furniture of his establishment had cost over three hundred thousand dollars. This figure seems large, but no one who has ever witnessed the “fairy land,” which this magnificent expendi ture, coupled with nature's gifts, has cre ated, will ever doubt the statement. But there i3 an end to all things, and at length we departed, laden with choice flowers and more than delighted with our visit to Dr. Cheatham and bis estimable wife and daughter. H. H. J.
