As my name lias l>een men tioned in connection with the nomiuatiou for Congress in this District. 1 desire to : nay to yon, and through you to the con vi uSou to assemble at Albany, on Thurs- ; day next, for the purpose of nominating , a candidate for Cougrss iu the 2nd Con* gi'CMsioiud Distries of Georgia, that / tint nol ft cmalUUiicfar that nmuiiinHim . I aui truly grateful to my friends for tltp manifestation of this friendship uriil con fidence made to me ill person as well us through the press. The names of other gentlemen have been presented by their friends, also, and I ilo not desire to antagonize or tie in the way Id either of them. I know all the gentlemen whose names J have seen mentioned or uggested. 1 haven a slight acquaintance with Judge Clm ke, Col Fielder, Cot. Kennoll, and Col Gray of the western section of the District all, in my judgement, good men mid sound Democrats. 1 know well, and have for years known, Col. W. E. .Smith and Col. Harris of the centra! section of the Dis trict, anil Cap). 11. (i. Mitchell, Capt. James 11. Hunter and Col. F. li. Whittle of the the eastern section of the, District —all clever, reliable, high-toned, honorable men ainl sound Democrats. I will take plcusui e in giving a cheerful, zealous and lieurty support to either of the gentlemen named, if nominated by the Convention. * It will take the united effort of every Democrat in the District to whip this tight, and for one I am willing and prefer to take a place iu the ranks and fight on nut ill the first Tuesday in November next, under the rallying cry of “Down with Civil Rights Bill!” Desiring to do this, and with a view to the perfect harmony of the party, f must and will decline to let my name, go before the Convention, under any circumstances. Very respectfully, your obedient ser vant, A. T. Mclntyre. The Delegations were full nml the specta tors numerous. Bo that the large court room was crowded ; good order prevailed throughout tho day, and the discussion i upon preliminary questions were conduct ed throughout, in the most courteous and gentlemanly manner, and inasmuch as all ; the candidates who were proposed were of I high character, worthy of the support of their friends, it will not be surprising to j tho reader to hear that it was exceedingly difficult for Delegates to sacrifice their personal preferences when they believed their choice to be the ctpml, at least, of any other, and we believe that all the Delegates acted in good faith for the ben etlt of the party and the good of the conn try. We have no intention of impugning tho motives of any, or qpndomuing tho acts of any, for according to conventional uuungeK there was nothing done that was I not fair and legitimate, but whether these I conventional usuages ure correct in princi ple is a question that might bo mooted. Tho Delegation, of which we wore a man lier, went in good faith to ascertain the strongest man in the District; wo had our personal preference, and behoved that with present issues ho would lie, if nomi nated, as strong ns any other man in the District before tho people. Hut before wo expressed any preference for him, wo cast our votes for other candidates ill different portions of the District, nor did wo pro pose his name until we thought that a nomination of either of the others were improbable,'>f not impossible, and when wo did propane his name, we dare to say that Our liberality Was not reciprocated, for each delegation adhered just ns close to its favorite for many ballotings. After the eighteenth ballot, Judge Ynsou, of the Dougherty Delegation, presented (’apt. H. G. Turner, of our county, and thereupon wo withdrew the mime of ('apt, Huuter, and on the second ballot thereafter, Capt. Turner received twenty-three and a half votes, lacking only four and a half votes of the two-thirds of tho entire vote of the Convention. And if tho twenty-three and a half had repeated their votes and nothing else had occurred, Randolph and Calhoun would have voted with us on the next ballot and his nomination would have been secured. Just then somebody be caine alarmed for fear that the in nocent, Turner would be sacrificed ou tlie alter of his country and a substi tute was immediately discovered, not by a Dougherty comity Delegate, for they didn’t want tho Hi miniate, but a little fel- ! low over iu linker who had spoken and ! voted for Mclntyre until his throat was j sore, and that substitute was V. E. ] Smith, iirwhotn tho most wonderful and i extraordinary capacity was discovered. Aud, not wit hstanding Doughoity county had been magnanimous enough to bring Capt. Turner before the Convention and helped to pay him the highest compli ment that at that stage of the proceedings had been paid to any of the candidates, immediately aboiidoncd him and voted for a man they didn’t- want, They spoke of Captain Smith iu the highest terms, and justly too, for lie is a worthy gentle man, but Dougherty county didn’t want the candidate, so the Delegates said, and they are men of high character, and no gentleman that know them w ill ever doubt their word• But strange to say, notwith standing their nvertion and great objoc i tiou to having the candidate in their eoun i ty, as soon as Capt. 8. was suggested aud his prominent ' excellencies and ability commented-upon, they struckatliim like a trout at a bob, and hang like a turtle till it thundered. It is very manifest that the words and acts of Dougherty county arc 1 inoonsistnntWith each other; but we pro ’ pose to show you how easily they can ho reconciled. Here are the facts: lie, Capt. 8.. is the equal in everything with I any of the gentlemen whose names were before the Convention; but inotie thing he I was prr eminently eminent, and that is that he is possessed of some wonderfully mistcriusiK, magical power, by the e.xor ,ei..i; u 1 which he can control three hundred votes in one county, flint no other Demo crat in the District could curry. We think our readers now will be satisfied, that this is a sufficient explanation why Dougherty county is again Willing to be burtliened with the nominee for Congress. What wondrous love is this, oh, Democracy; that Dougherty county would sacrifice so iniieli and submit again and endure with patience the infliction of another candi date. Ob, dear, long suffering and for bearing Dougherty, lmw the East and tile West should come to worship ut tliy shrine, and erect a monument to perpet uate in memory the wonderful sacrifice you have just made for your country's good. lint we must reflect upon you for endan gering Die interests of the District, so long yon permitted the Convention to bal lot tweiity-oim times before you would yourselves, or permit any one else to dis close the fact tlmt. you bud iu your midst a man of such extraordinary powers and preeminent virtues when it was fully known to you and none others. We trem ble when we contemplate the perilous con dition of our District, pending the twenty one ballots for such men as Mclntyre, Mitchell, Kciinon, Whittle, Hunter, Tur ner, Fielder, Fleming and others whose names were suggested. We know Dough erty didn't waut the candidate, but rather than jeopardise the interest of the Dis trict, they should have madethe disclosure and submitted to the sacrifice sooner. W. E. Hmith is the nominee of the Democratic party in the Hecoml Congres sional District, and there can be no doubt ns to his excellences ns a gentleman, nor objections to bis abilities. Therefore, Democrats, get off your coots mid roll up your sleeves and go to work until the 2d District is redeemed from Radicalism and the perfidious W'hiteley, the negro leader eipiulitist, and amalgaiaatiouist lie hurled from position that it hiuy be honorably filled. Wo could work cheerfully.for (he meanest Democrat in the Distiict, and it is certainly more agreeable to work for u good and true man and we have him iu the person of W. E. Smith. TILE DEMOCRATS OF BROOKS, COL UUITT AND THOMAS IN CON VENTION. Col. James McDonald Unanimously Nom inated for the Senate. The Democrats of Brooks, Thomas and Colquitt counties met in convention at McDonald, Thomas county, on ,Saturday, the lffth itist., for the purpose of nomi nating a candidate to represent them in the next term of the State' Senate. Tho meeting was called to order by electing Mr. F. J. Walker, of Colquitt, permanent chairman, and H. M. Mcln tosh, of Quitman, Secretary. By motion n committee on credentials were appointed to retire for consultation and report the names of tho authorized delegates from the various districts of the three counties to this convention. The chair appointed on this committee.- 8. T. | Kingsbury, N. Bediliek, Henry (lay, A. ('. ; Stephenson and R. J.

Mr. Henry (lav, of Colquitt, moved that inasmuch as there seemed to be no opposition to Col. Jus. McDonald, of Tiionms, lie be elected by acclamation the J temoeratie candidate lor Senator from this District. The delegates only were re quested to vote, mid tho motion prevailed without a dissenting vi ice. Col. McDonald not being in the house, Messrs. S. T. Kingsbury, Henry Gay mid j A. T. Mclntyre, Jr., were appointed to re ! tire and inform him of the action of the | convention, and ascertain if lie would ac j eept the nomination and pledge himself to i vole, if elected, against the pnymciitpf tho I bogus State bonds, fraudulently issued by !ex Governor Bullock. The committee i promptly discharged their duty, and re j turned w itli Col. McDonald, who was iu- I truduoed and addressed the convention. |Ho thanked his fellow-citizens for the | honor they lmd couferrcil upon him, and .readily consented to do all in his power to j soeuro the passage of the amendment to the Constitution of the State declaring tho bogus bonds issued by Bullock null and void. Tho speaker said (list, although he had not sought the nomination, ho would enter the campaign with earnestness and zeal; and invoked his party to co-operate | with him in a bold and manly effort to se cure his election. Col. MeDouald con | eluded his short but timely and appropri -1 ate address by assuring his many appreci ative hearers that lie would be true to the interests of liis constituents, and never be tray bis party. Speeches w ere made by Captains J. H. Huuter mul S. T. Kingsbury, of Brooks, and Mr. L. 8. McSwain, of Thomas. ... -*•♦- NOMINATING CONVENTION. The delegates appointed by the three counties of this Senatorial District, met at j McDonald, on Saturday the 15th inst., I and without any opposing candidate Col. James McDonald was unanimously nomi nated. This is a favorable omen, for we have no doubt that Col. McDonald is the most available man in the District. He lias hud considerable experience in Legis lative bodies aud will doubtless make a ! Senator of which his District may justly |be proud. Hois sound on the bond ques i tiou and every effort should be made to se ’ cure his election. Wo hope every niau will put his shoulder to the wheel and that j there will be no laggards. Wo learn that i tho Republicans of Colquitt county have ! declared in favor of his election mid fle- I nouuce in unmeasured terms the Civil Rights bill. That w ill weaken Wliiteley considerably. Indeed, if Democrats will do their duty there is no difficulty in de featin'; him. [i'.om tic New YcirkDsy-Bonk.] Never ! Never!

They not only, through this claimed “equality,” debti eh themselves and ma ture into thorough licentiousness, hut they trample under foot the most sacred senti ments of refined humanity, and drag down every superior which.a fidsts principle al lies to them.

The country hits been tried beyond all i endurance with the foul and unity doc trines of the Tribune., aud we suggest “no quarter” in this conflict of races. If the negro peaceably accepts the doctrines of ethnology, founded on scientific truth alone, well and good; if he will not, make short work with him. The thirty millions of Caucasians of the United States do not propose to coutiuuo tho arguing of the senseless question as to whether a stick has two ends or one, not even to accommodate well-meaning, honest people, who, claim ing to ho moralists, are umuisbikubly fools and fanatics. Lot us not bo misunder stood. Tho White Race in this country intend to govern it; govern it solely and alone. Thorn is to bo up “allying” with any of the inferior races Chinese, In dians, or negroes. In the conflict now opened, White Supremacy will conquer and negro inferiority succumb. The days of negro suffrage are numbered. The con flict will uot close till the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are abrogated, or become, through the revival of State rights, a dead letter. But wo are for aid ing tho progress of every negro iu tins land in the liue of good honest industry, and are for giving him the benefit of every law that will enable him to make headway individual prosperity; but we are not the advocate of his “equality” with the Caucasian, and propose to get tli it Utterly impracticable idea out of his brain and the brain of his false friends, as quickly as possible.

[From the New York Day-Book.] It is The Will of God. Nothing iu the lust nine years has given us such profound satisfaction and oncour j agemellt as the recent elections in tile South, and the grand Democratic victories j Unit have resulted from the straightout, I untainted and manly organizations of the | White Man’s Party. The J Jay-Hook has | labored for years to Is-ut tins simple, me j Uind and momentous truth into the bruins I of the Southern people, that to save them selves from total anil irreparable destruc tion, they must stand by their lace, their civilization, the instincts of nature, the ! command of God Almighty, and refuse i utterly to seek the aid of the devil iu their i direst extremity. To uoscutto negro “suf | frago”—to an equality with an unequal race —to degrade themselves to a common status with negroes, is a sin against even the pisir negro us well as themselves so su preme nod unforgivable by the Almighty Himself, that it must needs, bo punished, as it bus been punished fur the past nine years, a&d must, of necessity, it jiersisted in, end iu tiiu total ruin oi 1 toth rates. (,od has created them different beings, and therefore designed them for different conditions of existence, and thus, w hile it is a sill against tlie Creator beyond ex pression for the North to force them to a i common condition by a standing army, it is immeuMireubly a greater sin for South - ern men, who know shut the negro is, to assent to such sin. Many have sought to deceive and delude themselves hv an ! imaginary distinction between political and sordid “equality,” and while dedal’- ■ ittg themselves utterly opposed to rnis j eegenatkni, or mixing of blood, assent to ■ political rnixiug of races, or in other ; words, while rejecting amalgamation of I individuals, consent to an amalgamation in tiie totality! It is a fraud, a stupid and disgusting fraud—every bsuu and every woman in the Bouth, itud iu the i North too, that assent to the incorpora tion of tiie negro iu American citizen ship, do of necessity, by thut act, assent hi the mixing of the blood of their chil dren with the negro, a doom from which t their children can only be saved, of fans-, I by a war of races; and mutu.d extenniuu | tion. I The crimes of tie North arc beyond the ! [tower of language toexpress; but after all, their crimes would have been almost trifling if the Sou them people hud been true to themselves and faithful to dial. Had they said, when Gen. Lee surrendered, “Here we are, providen tially burdened with an interior species of men in our midst, with attires and wants vastly different from oitrH, which we have transformed from useless savages into useful and Christian beings, mid whatever punishment you think proper to inflict on our lenders, leave us to deal with these child-people ns our knowledge of their specific nature warrants," the whole mighty madness and folly' of tho Aboli tionists would have stood disarmed and powerless, and the North itself saved from tho recoil of Southern ruin. But alas ! For nine years Southern! men have stub . lifted themselves, violated I heir couvic j tiou, the daily evidences of their senses, and sought escape from the Abolition - madness by assenting to it,,anil vainly as sinfully prostrating themselves at its feet. , At last, thank God, they have risen to their feet, and like true and bravo men appealed to the sense and manhood of; tt eir race, uml the result is that, in every instance, even in Vicksburg, they have swept the field 1 Ignorant and miserable i fools fear a vair of racea, w-lien in fact it is the sole escape from a war of races, (foil has made white laeu superior and ne groes suiiordimite, and when men act iu ■ accord w ith the will of God there can he jno conflict, and therefore, vi repeat, u White Mans’s Party is the wile escape from the horrors of a war of the kind. Of 1 course, so long us there is a standing ■ army, the Southern people forced to tolerate the enormous sins of negro Hit ; h uge; but we trust that no one van be so | debauched and lost as to seek a negro ■ vote, however much tle-y may strive U i induce the poor creature hom going to j the polls. Aud now. Democrats, North and South, ; the key of the “situation” is ill yoni i bauds. Tho true course is plaiu before | vou. Let every true luau decide first, is : it wrong to mix his blood with tho negro; and if so, then negro voting is a crime j against nature so cuormous, that it mast nceils sink us all to perdition, and rallying as brothers. North aud South, East anil West, for the dignity aud civilization of our race, we shall sweep the North os ! have our brethren the South in the late elections. (Freni the Charleston Courier.] The Heroes of the Congo War in South Carolina. The riot at Georgetown, whoso begin ning was described iu these columns yes terday, is unlike the recent disturbances in Tennessee and Mississippi in one im portant particular—it is confined to the Radical negroes, and no white man, of any shade of polities, is mixed up iu it. One white Radical was on the further edge of the fight of Wednesday, but, so soon as the cracking of rusty pistols began, he betook himself to a boat and burried to his plantation across the river, on Wac camaw. There he rests. Aud another point is worthy of notice. Jones and Rowley, who lead the opposing forces, are both of them, of Northern birth; they are, so to speak, negro carpet-baggers. There is something iu Jones, who is as black as el areool. Ho is intelligent and well edu cated, aud the rude negroes of the rice tii Ids look up to him literally us the the g-d. When Jones tells them that a vote 1 for such a one will cause them to be re turned to slavery, they believe him ns they believe iu their own existence, and it was the belief that their ebon idol bad been desecrated, which caused tho negro women tb make the furious attack on Bowley’s house on Friday. Jones is a State Sena tor, and holds office until 1879. Of course he made money, but he spends it as fast as he makes it, and only a short time ago his famous "Canadian trotter” was levied on and sold for au unpaid grocery bill. Row ley is back also, but his manners are better than those of Jones, whose general character cun best bo described iu the words of tho British officer, who summed up his report upon the inhabi tants of a distant port, which he had visit-! ed iu these words, “customs beastly; manners none.'' It is computed that Bow ley, who was Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, made at least $50,000 while in the Legislature. It is certain that he deposited about ($9,000 in a Charleston bank immediately after the: close of the last session; lie has several houses in Columbia; he enjoys the finest house (with a Mansard roof) iu Georgetown ; j his pockets are full of claims against the [State. Oneway in which he made money, so rumor says, was to refuse to report the | Appropriation bill in tbe House of Repre [ seutatives, unless lie were secured acorn | mission of ten per cent, on tho amounts i recommended to be appropriated. Both I rascals, both cuuuiug and unscrupulous— -1 that is the description of Jones aud Bow ley. The strength of Jones lies in the | country; that of Bowlev lies iu the town iof Georgetown. This is the reason why Jones, although beaten on Wednesday, was subsequently victorious. Jones is. . moreover, a colonel of tbe National Guard jof South Carolina, aud be used as many of Ins du ky warriors as lie could muster to overawe his rival, who is only a lieu ten - nut-colonel in the same organization. The prize for which the two fight is the politi- j od control of the county. No account is ; made of the whites. They ore in a hope less minority ill Georgetown county; al though, strange to, they have, on three j successive occasions, elected their candi- ; dates for luteudant and Wardens of the town of Georgetown, by increasing uia- ; joritiee. They are in the minority there, ; and carried the first municipal election by ! less than twenty votes, but the affairs of j tin- town have been so well managed thut it: has remained ever since under Conserva tive control.

The Sail Francisco Chronicle of the Ist inst, has the following: Yesterday after- ! noon about six o'clock a flue bay horse, attached to a light Wagon, was being driven along Kearney street by two men. When near Suiter street a small English bull dog, weighing eighteen or twenty pounds, mud* a spring from the j sidewalk and tried to catch the hors*! by I ; the nose. Missing him, the dog fell under the horse’s feet, and iu an instant caught him by the right fore leg, just above the kum*, where lie held c<u with the grip of , deutb. The horse reared and plunged aud stamped. The men in the wagon, [ having all they could do to control the animal iu that crowded thoroughfare, dared not attempt to get out to fight the j dog off Finally, with a violent stamp i and a stuldeu dropping to his knees, the i horse shook the vicious brute off bis leg, but iu an instant he was caught again in , tiie chest. ; Fastening his teeth in the tough, thick hide, the ilog hung on like a leech. The poor hors*!, unable to shake him off, bolted across a low pile of lumber at the corner: of Butter and Kearney streets, where he was caught by a dozed men out of the targe crowd which bail assembled. Some lone at this point raised theory that the j dog was mud. Thut was enough to keep the crowd back and insure fair play. Not; a soul would go near, and Ihe horse was j several minutes left to light it out alone. ! Again ami again did he shake oil' the tenacious little animal, kicking and strik ing ut him with all his fierce strength, ; hut in vain. He would not desist. Once in a while n hoof would hit the dog aud 1 send him reeling in the dust, but quicker ; j than lightning be would gather himself ! ip, and again fasten his visehko fuliga in tue horse's flesh. ‘Get a club here !” shouted someone in the crowd. 'Un fasten that horse’s cheek-rein, and he’ll soon fix him with his teeth.* shouted un otie r matt. ‘Keep away from liim; don’t touch him; don't you see he’s mtul? was ; again yt lied out, and the crowd stood i back. Once the dog sprang, and, clasping the horse’s left fore leg, just ns a young bear 1 would climb a pole, fastened his teeth in and held on. The horse snorted with I pain, and plunged wildly about; he rear ed kicked, fell oil his knees, anil stamped, but still those sharp, white teeth were burried in his flesh, and the cold sharp eye gleamed with tenacity and vicious hate. Finally, someone got a long club and beat the dog vigorously over the: head. Ho would not let go. Then an other man got a cluti a..(1 omc to the : horse’s relief. A fierce whack fell on the dog a nose, and tlieu the teeth loosened, ! i and the fii roc little brute fell under the ! horse’s he. Is. Again lie made a spring, but . this tiun .. tuetliiug struck him full in the . face, li v, ; au iron-buiuid hoop, and it i came with the force of a trip hammer.

The horse is a valuable one, but, unless there is 'dangerof hydrophobia, his injuries arc not likely to prove serious. The novel ; spectacle lasted fully ten minutes, and was witnessed by as many as five hundred people. The dog is ow ned by a man tn . the employ of the gas company.

Dr. Clark, of the American Board of Foreign Mis sions, lias received a letter from Rev. J. i(V Borrows, of Oeasaria, dated July 10, in i which be gives some thrilling details of the terrible famine now prevailing in that region. Mr. Burrows writes: While at Yodegat, which is eighty or ninety miles north of ns, I noticed the ravage of famine, which is very severe, and also beyond and towards Angoria.— Many villages are entirely deserted. In someone or two, three or four families, or parks of families remain. Iu the District of Sungurte, which is beyond Yodegat and in which city there is a Protestant chureh, as runny FIVE THOUSAND PERSONS HAVE DIED OE STARVATION. But tho horrors of this famine arc inde iso nimble. Many persons have subsisted on grass for weeks, and tlieu died. Beg gars have flocked to the cities, and there are many of them wbo have died, because they could not get a morsel of bread. Old men, mothers with babies at their breasts, young men, children, young and girls, . half naked, begging and crying. Dead bodies have lain in the streets one, two and even three or four days before burial, and KOOS HAVE FEASTED ON THEM. “Many of our Protestant communities and families have suffered greatly at Snn garte. Some of the. brethren have sold lionse, shop, household furniture, every thing, and now must beg or starve, or per haps, both. In one village there was one | Protestant fi.uii y. The father, mother and all the children but two have died of i starvation. In the village of Ingierlie j there was a pleasant little Protestant i community several of whom were members | of the church, with the preacher residing i with them, hut they were poor. This : preacher went to Yodegat and purchased flour, becoming responsible for the pay I himself, and so kept alive six families.— Now unless the preacher can lie paid his ; creditors will take everything from him. ” Civil Rights Rill Won't Effect The 1 University. —Judge Crawford, of the : trnstces, tells us that body are of the | positive opinion that should the civil rights bill pass it will not effect the Uui ; varsity of Georgia.

A Frightful Swins Adventure. The Reading (Fa.) Emjle gives an ac count of a terrific adventure of a yonng lady while swinging at a picnic a short time since. The lady expressed a dcsiro to swing as high its possible, aud finally reached an altitude of fully thirty feet.—• Bite had been cheerful and lively up to this point, hut all of a sudden she became ipriet, the rest of the ladies were awe stricken, and when the swing with its pre cious burden made one swift sweep in the air, her head was noticed to drop to ouo side, her munch s relaxed, her handslet go their hold and drop, and away the unfor tunate girl was hurled through the nir, aud only saved from a frightful and terrif ic death by oue of the most miraculous in terventions ever beard of. The momentum of the swing’s motion carried the apparently lifeless form of the girl up fully thirty-five feet from tho ground and lodged her safely and secure ly between two branches at the point where they join the trunk of a tree, which stood about tbiity-eight feet from the tree to which the rope was attached. The fright and the terror of tho party below can better be imagined than described as the swing came reeling backward, while its former occupant was lying apparently life less in the branches of the tree. It re quired ouly a few minutes' deliberatiou for the gentlemen to realize the situation and determine what to do. It was fully twenty feet from the ground to the first limb above, aud the trunk of the tree about three feet iu diameter. They buck ed the wagon with its canvass cover di rectly under the tree, so that in ease that she would drop her fall would be partially broken. The swing was instantly taken down ami in au instant one end of the rope was thrown over the limbs of the other tree and secured below. By this means two gentlemeu of the party hurriedly went up the rope, aud iu a few minutes were at the side of the unfortunate girl. Bhe was just returning to consciousness, and tlio force of her fall had so securely wedged her between the trunk aud the limbs ns to require no little effort to extricate her.— Miss Johnson at once realized her fearful situation. She was pale and weak, but still had the good sense to do as the gen tlemen desired. The rope wiih pulled up, a slip knot was made and then passed around her laxly, under the arms, the other end passed around the limb, and in this manner sl.e was lowered to the ground iu safety. Church Troubles in Berlin. A Berlin letter gives some interesting particulars of the recent trial of some of the noblest ladies of Westphalia for offences growing out of the recent church troubles there. Of the thirty-six Indies summoned to appear iu court at Burg ateiufmt only seventeen appeared. Most of the ladies, accompanied by numerous cavaliers, arrived in fotir-liorse carriage*, with richly-laced coachmen and footmen. The indictment was based upon an address sent by a number of Catholic ladies of the Westphalian aristocracy to the Bishop of Munster after nil execution had been put into his house by tho District Court. In tho following expressions contained in the address, “deprivations of property rightfully his own,” "act of violence,” as well as in the passage where the dis , trainiaent was compared to the prosecu tion of Christ by bailiffs’and hangman's minions, the Court found cause of offense, and* took out a warrant against all who had signed the address. The answers given by tho ladies to tbe Judge were generally in a scornful tone, and were loudly applauded. They denied having I had the intention of offending tiic Court, but refused to retract, the offensive expres ; sums. Countess Ncsselrode-Beichcustein declared that she hail been aware that she was offending the public authorities in signing the address, hut that her convic tions had prevented her taking any other course, and she whs prepared to do the same tiling again. But Countess Nessel rode, who had displayed great activity in ; circulating the address, was condemned lo pay a line of two hundred thaleis, or in default to six weeks’ imprisonment; tho other ladies to a fine of one hundred thalers, or three weeks’ imprisonment. On leaving the court they were enthusios j ticaliy applauded by the public, who i escorted them to their estates iu a tii ! tunphal procession. •+. Mbs. Surratt's Hangman. —While in 1 Greenville, 8. 0., lust week, we saw John B. Hubbard, Mrs. Surratt’s executioner. He is acting as United States Deputy Marshal, and was then ill attendance on | the court in session in Greenville. Ho still boasts with brutal pride of his part in : the murder ui an innocent woman. He is I looked upon by the people of Carolina as a great ruffian, and is cordially detested, not only for his participation in the crime mentioned, but also for his many shame ful deeds in connection with the iniqui ' tious Ku-Kinx trials in South Carolina. — On one occasion, it is said, he called with a tile of soldiers at a house near Lumen's, to arrest a man accused of Ku-Klnxism. — j The man had fled and Hubbard, in an in solent tone, asked the fugitive’s poor trem bling wife .where lie was. She answered that she did not know, which was actually the case, whereupon Hubbard exclaimed, “Yon urea d—n liar.” There is no better proof of South Carolina’s desire to be “re ■ conciliated” than that this spawn of Rad j icalism is suffered to remain within her ! borders unharmed. Hubbard is a native jof Ohio, we understand. The Bnek-eyo State should certainly feel proud of him. South Carolina doe* not, and is ready to yield all claims upon him at a moment’s notice. He is the only one of Mrs. Sur ratt’s murderers, wo believe, who gloried ; in tho act, — Augusta Chronicle and Svuli ! net. It isnot only at home that the Germans are proving themselves a strong, aggressive race, but abroad also. The individual Ger man has a genius for trade, wherever ho settles he thrives.

There are |in Germany a number of schools of com merce where young men enter to learn ; office work, and in commercial dealings no persons are better educated than the graduates of such institutions. Iu this, as in other things, the Germans show their sound common sense. No small de tail escapes them, and, after all, success iu trade is a question of details of often the smallest seeming importance. This j coming ascendance in foreign trade of the Germans is strikingly shown in j China. There the mercantile firms of a city like Hong Kong, from being almost i exclusively British, have become prepou . deratinglyGerman, whilenearly the whole carrying trade of the coast is iu tbe hands of the latter.
