Watia then turned his attention from the man lie wan Unit quarreling with, and said to the negro: “Von owe me fifty cents.” Then lie added: *Tl—n you, if you don’t pay it. I’ll kill you.” The negro said he did not have the money. IWrry asked him for ii again, and received trie *>ame reply. He tiien leveled his pistol and shot down the negro, who died in a few minutes. ’I he man with whom Watts had heen quar reling seeing him so infur.ated. turned ami fled.

Tiie phonograph records mud preserves the waves of sound; the electro- monograph—or, as it is called when used iu connection with acoustics, the "chemical telephone”—records nothing. Iu the pho nograph, the main principle is the inden tation of tin-foil on a cylinder, by a small needle attached to a diaphragm, which U set in motion by the waves of sound. In the chemical telephone there is likewise a cylinder and a diaphragm; but with these its resemblance to the phonograph ceases. On the cylinder of the chemical telephone rests a metal arm attached to a diaphragm and the passage of electric waves through such cylinder causes the vibration of the diaphragm. The scientific priuciple involved in theelectru-motogniph discovery is diametrically opposite to the main prin ciple in electro-magnetism, and yet it per forms in most cases exactly the same func tions as electro-magnetism. In mil contrivanc«~- hitherto used for pro during a mechaiiit.il movement at a long distance, the agency employed has lieen elect ro-iuaguetiaiii. Take lor illustration the ordinary Morse telegraph. This, aa every school-boy knows, consists in the rough of a niece of soft irou around which is coiled a continuous line wire, through which wire is passed, so to sjieak, a current of electricity. This current magnetises the piece of soft iron, which thereupon is enabled to attract a second I iiere of irou or armature. Here. then, we lave a mechanical movement, produced by energy transmitted from a distance. By means of the discovery of the principles of the electo-mutugraph. Mr. Kdi-on has made it possible to produce mechanical move ments at a distance without the employ ment of electro-magnetism. In other words, iutd the inventor of the telegraph never lived, and had electro-magnetism never lieen discovered, we might to-day ac complish the same result* by means ot the electro-iuotograpli.

In point of fact, as the sequel will disclose, he was sent here (by Mr. Sewaid) with a view to juake tieace. In the course of a day’s diactwion in my library, lie asked me a great suany «|uestions; among othera. the «|ue»tion: “Can you whip McClellan?” who .was then lying with an army of two hundred thousand men within MX miles of Rich mond. confronted by General Ue. 4 I told him in reply that 1 felt sure we could and would, and i the emperor of ihe French would open the ports and keep them Often, we would march to New Xo k, and not ask the loan of a man ora dollar.

'•Can’t this war be stooped? Can't you come back under the old flag?” 1 said: “I suppose that is impossible, for Mr. .Seward would not permit its to do so without tiie abolition of slavery, and it would Ite useless to proftoee that to the men from the extreme south.” To tlmt he replied: “You are mistaken. If you will only return and acknowledge the flag, Mr. Seward will permit you to re turn without any conditions.” “What!” said I, “with the institution of slavery T’ “Yes.” he said. I then said: "But there is yet one tiling mot e to be considered. To use the phrase which was so much hackneyed with resfiect to the northeastern boundary question of ’indem nity for the past and security for the future,’ we can't ask, 1 kuow, indemnity for tbe past, but wc must have security for the future. We cannot live hereafter in the state of harassment and excitement in which we have lived for some years past.” Then drawing his hand across a piece of (taper lying u(»oii the library table, upon the opposite sides of which we were sitting, he said: “Mr. Seward will allow you to write your own guarrutees.” 1 expressed my individual readiness to consent to th<jse terms. I had been in favor of the southern convention with which South Carolina proposed through Mr. Mem- mi tiger, hercommissioner.believingasl did. in which 1 am now confirmed, that if all the southern states met in convention, as promised by South Carolina, such guaran tees would be asked of the northern people as they would grant, and which would pro- lectus. and in tlmt event there would be no secession, and l certainly did not wish seces sion if we could be protected in tiie enjoyment of our constitutional rights, and that I believe was the gen eral sentiment of the south. 1 believe 1 have given you now almost, if not exactly, ver batim, these conversations to which I re ferred in my conversation with you. I wilj add that the day following the conver-ation with the French minister, a large compaay of gentlemen dined with him at my house, and he left there after 10 o’clock at night in a rain, in order, as ho said, to send a tin- l»atch to Norfolk to lire up a steamer which could take him or his dispatches.

Morris placed his hand on Burrough’s shoulder and said, “Yourstick ain’t worth a cent; twelve men can not put me in prison.’' Burroughs re plied, “I can get upeix that can put you in,” drew a six-shooter quickly and commenced firing within two or three feet of Morris’s breast; fired two or three shots at Morris be fore he drew his pistol and commenced fir ing; Morris being mortally wounded, bred «t random.

Saratoga, May 27.—The Presbyterian as sembly to-day adopted resolutions denounc ing the habit of many church members attending the theater and opera. The following was also adopted: _ Resolved, That the general assembly be lieving that the practice, on the ]>artof the church members, of reading secular pajiers ou the Sabbath day is alarming and on the increase, and believing also that it is a grievous injury to the |>erso:ial piety of the readers and a serious obstacle to the cause of Christ in every community, would de(»- recate the practice, and urge 011 ail who love the Lord and desire the spread of llis king dom in the world to do ail in their power to discountenance it. Regarding the oveituro against recogniz ing Roman Catholic baptism, the commit tee on overtures reaffirm the action of the general assembly of 1873. leaving it with the iiastor and the convert to decide wheth er a re baptism shall lie made. The report attacked by Elder C. D. Drake and Rev. Dr. Prime and defended by Rev. Dr. Patton, chairman of the committee, who declared, had done in his opening that the Roman Catholic is a branch of the church of Christ. He said that in the fight against materialisiu, otherwise communism, and other enemies of Christianity, the Roman Catholics are of the (Wrongest allies^which the church has. The Rev. Dr. Prime denounced the decision of the committee as emanating from the cloisters of the olegical semina ries. He said that while claiming hold such doctrines as liau lieen stated by Dr. Patton that the Catholics had apostacized from Christianity. Rev. Dr. Gautz then offered a substitute “that this assembly is not prepared to decide the invalidity of all Catholic baptism, but prefer to leave it to church sessions and (tfMtors.” The Rev. Dr. Patton gave a his tory of the overtures of 1835 and 1875. Wiu. E. D-.alge opposed any recognitiun of the Roman Catholic as a Christian church. The Rev. Dr. Prime moved the overture of 1835 Resolved, Thxtit is the deliberate and decided judgment of this assembly that the Roman Catho lic church has essentially apostacised from the religion of our Lord and Saviour Jesus thrift, and therefore canuot be recognized a* a Christian church.

May be it might do even if it was longer, and said that if that were done the etuperur would immediately acknowledge us, hut that the French people would not be satisfied.with out such a provision for the abolition of slavery. They did not care bow distant was, so the fact was secured as the price < recognition, and the emperor would be fully justified. 1 expressed my individual wiUinenes* to accede to those terms, and promised to sec the president upon the subject next morn ing when I went into congress, and if he agreed with me I would immediately intro duce a bill for the purpose. "But,” said 1, “Monsieur Paul, what guarantee can you give us that, if we take so imiMirtaut a step, the emperor will ac knowledge us?” He replied: “Mr. Lyons, nobody cat guarantee the emperor, hut you may be sure that the eut|ieror will do what 1 tell vou he will do,” which 1 considered as hut auotlier mode of saying that he hail been authorized to do what he had done. It is due to Mr. Davis to say that I him next morning, at his own house, before congress met, as soon as I went into town, and told him what had passed between the French consul and myself. His answer was: “I should concur with you in accepting these terms but for the constitutional diffi culty.

THE OTHER SIDE. Some time ago we published an interview upon China, its habits and customs, the in terview having been had with a missionary who had spent several years there. This interview created a great deal of interest, and was discussed on all sides. We ntet on „ . jterday a gentleman who has spent much of his life iu China, and who lias lieen al ways interested in anything that pertains to the Chinese. It would be hard.” he said, “to find .uore solid and reliable information about this strange people, in the same space, than was contained in that interview you pub lished. It b almost impossible, however, for an American to Itave any intelligent idea of the Chinese and their country with out seeing it” LIKE AM EVERLASTING COUNTRY FAIR. The first thiug that strikes the stranger with wonder is the marvelous iuauner in which the people are crowded together. In this country, in even the must populous states, a man may ascend a high mountain, and look over a vast scene of almost per fect solitude. He mav look for miles and miles on every side and hardly see a human being, and very few signs of life. In Chiua it i- different. Let him ascend any sort of eminence and he will see literally thou sands of busy men and women on all sides of him, engaged iu Ihe various avocations of life. The scene reminds him of a garden, and the groups of laborer* or- loiterers remind him of a perpetual country fair in progress You can find. In till the vast do minion of China none of the solitudes that we know here. Here you can go a half day without meeting any one—there you meet people at every step.” “This great crowding of them together must influence their lives; does it not?” “Of course. It learns them to ecouonme everything, and especially space and pro visions. For instance, they have learned that while a horse can do the work of five men, he eats what would support seven men. This margin between product and consumption, as narrow as it is. has led them to almost eutirely do away with the horse, and you find very few of them iu the kingdom anywhere. •They economize everything. A China- in will raise in pots in his windows almost enough vegetables to do his family. If he has au old |toml or lake he will cut the battilxMi reeds on its edges, tie them into a raft, and with a dredging shovel will raise soil from the bottom ot the lake and spread it on this raft. Ou this artificial patch, floating about in the lake, lie will RAlMK KKTTKK AMI FULLER CROrS than many a Georgia farmer will on a ten acre field. A farm of four or five acres is a vast (rasession iuChina and will make its owner rich. As an evidence of how they economize s|atce you may have noted that in this country when they rent a room the first tiling they do is to make two rooms of it by running a new floor Iietween the ceiling and the regular floor. They will then live on each of these two fl.rars. “Are the Chinese honest?” ‘‘Yes, sir, to a wonderful degree. To begin with, burglary is a capital crime. The man who steals has his head taken off, and that too with very little delay and no equivocation. The result of this strict code is that stealing b almost unknown. A China merchant will have his shop open and go to dinner witti not a soul left behind to guard hix wares. You may have noticed that every jiackage of tea or tire-works that you ever saw iut)rarted from China had the price marked on it. If any oue passes one of these unguarded shops aud sees an urticle that he wants, lie climbs upon the shelf, gets it, and leaves the money and retires. The shop-owner comes back, scrapes un his money attd balances his accounts. Now, how long could an At lanta merchant run his business on that schedule T* HOW THEY FOLLOW CONFUCIUS. ‘Are the Chinamen people religious to great degree?" “Blindly so. T ke the figures. In thb country, which is thought to be thoroughly Christianized, we find that probably ten tueu in every hundred are devout followers of Christ, and only about twenty even pro fessors of the Christian religion. In China we find ninety-eight out of every hundred devout followers of Confucius, which is the God they worship. If the Christians only added to their enterprise and intelligence the directness and zeal of the Buffdnists, they would soon plant their white banner on every part of thb globe.” “ Are the Chinese advancing rapidly scientific pursuits?" “ Not as rapidly as would be exjiected by a superficial spectator; aud yet 1 think rapidly enough. You must remember that these Chinese have been wedded for thou sands of years to their peculiar belli fs and that every truth announced to them is 1 innovation upon their old beliefs. 1-Y instance, suppose that a foreigner for whom hands; several refused to surrender their tickets and were Enocked down; subse quently saw military, nineteen men of the Eighteenth infantry, march into the court house yard and form into two lilies; the voters were required to pass to the polls un der fixed bayonets; on cumplaiut lieing made to witness that voters were interfered with by the military, he issued a warrant for the arrest of Lieutenant Hinton, who commanded the detachment; the sheriff made a verbal report that Hinton stated that he had been summoned by the chief deputy marshal to bring troops to ti.e polls; that there was no breaches of the peace except such as were committed by deputy marshals who had taken ballots from voters, and further that Hinton de clared he was informed that violence was imminent at the polls, and that there had already been a breach of the peace and asked to be saved front the disgrace of ar rest, promising that he would remove his troops to the rear of the court-house. Wit ness (this having lieen done) instructed the sheriff to take no further action. Several of the deputy marshals were en gaged in distributing tickets, and charged colored persons with having democratic tickets in their hands and in a line with the whites with betraying their race. AU the deputy marshals, with one exception, were colored men. Their instructions were >igtted by the United States marshal, the words at the head of their commissions be ing. “Stand by your party.” The witness saw in three or four instances democratic ballots destroyed by these officers. The conduct of llie marshals did not fall tinder his observation in 1878; but he knew of one colored democrat who was threatened to be cross-examined by Teller. The Hayes and Hampton ticket embraced the democratic nominee* fo**office; and the Hayes and Chamberlain ticket embraced the republican candidates. It was declared by Representative Saylor and other members ' the subcommittee ot the house of .•rcsentatives on the third of January, that Haye» had carried the state by front l,00t> to 2,000 votes, and such was the belief of witness. Hampton was elected by 1,100 majority. He suptrarted the Haves and Hampton ticket amiall the democratic 110m- inees and side by side with Hampton he canvassed the state for Hayes, but lie voted for Tilden. indorsing on his ballot a* a rea son for doing so that 1 nyouets were brought to the polls to secure the election of Hayes. The troops did not interfere ns a bodv with the voters, but one of the soldiers cursed a citizen and threatened to bayonet him. The only rea'oii given by the citizen was that he was on his way to the polls. The troops were at. the polling place for an hour. He, in 1873, saw a voter shot down in Charleston ami thought that the shooting in jhat case was justifiable. In conclusion of his testimony, witness wished to say that, a jury of the’state court composed wholly of republican* would convict the most prominent republican who should wrong a democrat and a demo cratic jury would convict a most prominent tlcinocrzl who should wrong a republican. 1876 cost 16»» vote*.

The result would give a total of 2U1 votes. But If he would carry New York and all the northern Hayes states except Ohio, the loss of Its 22 vote would reduce his total to 179, which would be si short of a majority. We advise the friends of Grant and the bayonet to carefully study these figures. The South 11ms Overpaid. Louisville Courier-Journal.

While the ballot was progressing the name of General Hurst was withdrawn, and at the close of the ballot McClure’s name was also withdrawn The announce ment of these changes caused a transfer of a number of votes, and when the final an nouncement was made the ballot stood: Hickenlooper 390; Season good 131—total 521.

These two simple wools are the key to every thing that has been done ami will be done from tills till the day of Ute presidential election in 1880.
