WffMp JjtttflUflfttfcr PUBLISHED DAILY i JARED IRWIN l'roprl PUBLISHED DAILY AND WEEKLY BY WHITAKER, otor> ATLANTA, GEORGIA, Wedrroaday, June 8. 1870. T1|C xruiD, and Nolblne but the Tr.ul. Senator Johnston, of Virginia, in his recent speech in the United States Senate, on the bill then before it to enforce the Fifteenth Amend ment u thus reported by the Richmond Whig: .. A l r Johnston poinU out how it came to p iss that the Southern people sided with their State governments in the late civil war. They were Educated from the foundation of the govern- numtin the laith. that while they owed obe- d.ence merely to the laws of the United "tatep their allegiance was due to their State governments, and, being thus educated, “ when the question came to those people of siding Wllb the United States or siding with their State, it was not a question ol rebellion against the United Stales, but of rebellion against theirown State”—and that thus the term ‘ rebel,’ in the offensive and criminal sense, had no application to them as it would have in European coun- iries—in Great Britain, lor instance, where every bubject owes an undivided allegiance to the sovereign, and to resist which is criminal rebel lion.” . .. •i Mr. Johnston admits, as we all do, that the war has subverted the theory we formerly held and has buried the dogmas ot seceision and nullification. 1 le says * we now desire to mHe the Union great and glorious, but we w.sh it to be free also,* and that the only way Jo make it c o,to maka il a perfect Union, a proper Union, a Union of sentiment and feeling, is to remove all distinctions between Southern men and Northern men, aud lx-tween so called rebels and so-called loyal men.’” Forcible and true, but the ulteranc.es ot the Virginia Senator fell like a drop of rain upon ihe parched sands of a descrl, in iking no visi ble or favorable impression npou the majority party in the Senate. Be it so, but nothing 13 m ire true than as the poet expresses it * Troth crushed to earth will rise a^ain.” Bcluc Well Bre»»oil. Emerson, in his last lecture, speaks ol a lady, w ho told him that she felt a serene peace ot mind in being well dressed that religion could n it afiord. I'liat lady, to say the least ol it, was frank in l lt!l • uJ Oi course, she bad never expo nent. .a “peace of mind” which religion affords, or she would not have uttered the senti ment. Really though, anti we believe every re fined person will agree with us, to he well dressed gives great pleasure. Everybody should be so, according to their circumstances and con dition in life. The peasant and the prince, the ludy and her maid, can each be well-dressed, aiiti should lie, though one may appear in pur ples aud fine linen, the other in homespun.— flu- make up of the apparel, the taste displayed ,n the selection ol it, with the rich, fine aud < ostly, but not gaudy, aud with the poor sub- s'aniial and comfortable, it is this which we con- eider in an individual as being a well-dressed person, and it does bestow “ a peace of mind ” which Emerson’s lady only overrated when she said “ religion could not atlord.” But how many ladies resemble her, this Ueponeut will not un dertake to say. Tlie ltenrlii{£ or tbe Baptist aud Presby- lerlau Divines at Loultville. The Memphis Appeal pays the followiugjual tribute to the Presbyterian and Baptist divines, recently aasembfl^ at Louisville in separate con ventiuna^ It Bays, “ pleasing, gr&lilying, worthy ot Christian gentlemen, was the bearing ol Presbyterian and Baptist divines at Louisville when reunion with the Northern churches was proposed by tbe Northern brethren. Not less touching aud lull of feeling aud generous kind ness was the welcome extended by the General Methodist Conference recently sitting in this city to representatives ol Noilhern Methodism proposing a reconsolidition ol these churches. If Northern disciples of the Man of Peace gave us such examples of kindly confidence, of for getfulness of past wrongs or diilerences, evils ihat now afllict the country would soon be for gotten, and churches more perfectly illustrate in their acts the true spirit of Christianity.” Slow Co Preserve Ice. The heat of summer will soon be upon us* when ice will be in use. One difficulty has al ways been in Ihe way of Its general use by fam ilies iu this city, w ho cannot aflord to purchase it in large quantities. The reader will see from the following that that difficulty has been re moved We copy Irom an exchange: “ Ur. .'?< litvartz has communicated the follow ing simple method ot preserving small quanti ties ol ice, which be has practiced with success: Put the ice iu a deep dish or jug, cover it with a plate, aud place the vessel on a pillow stufled With (eatheiB, aud cover the top with another pillow carefully, by this means excluding the external air. Feathers are well known bad conductors of heat, and, iu consequence, the ice is preserved Irom melting. Dr. Schwartz states that he had thus preserved six pounds of ice lor eight days The plan is simple, and withiu the reach ot every household.” Deaths. The Macon Journal ot yesterday morning records the death iu that city ol one ol its old aud esteemed citizens, Capt. J. 11. Pickett.— Captain P, was well kuoivu iu this city, where he had many friends, lie was a native of Caui- deu, Mouth Carolina, went to Macon some thirty odd years ago, and lias resided there ever since. He was, the J^mnal thinks, about 55 years ol age, and had his residence in Yineville. His fu neral took place yesterday The Journal also says : We regiet to have to chronicle the mel iu- choly intelligence ot the dentil ol Mr. Win 11 Gneel, a step-son ot our old tricud,Mr. II. S. Bell, and a brother ot our esteemed lellow townsman, Mr Dan Gugel. This melancholy ev< nl happened at Thnmaston, yesterday morning at an early hour -Mr. Gugel was one of the oldest and best engineers in the State ot Georgia, having served uts time in the Central Railroad Ste ps, iu Savan nah. At the time ol his dealli lie was iu the employ ot the Albany aud Gull Road, and was much esteemed by tiio officers of the com pany m whoso employ he was. He was 4” years ot age, aud leaves a wife and one child, aud a latgo citcie oi relatives aud tricuds to mourn 1 u ' ■ demise. His body was taken to c nuab, and will be buried in Lau rel Grove this uioruiog at 11 o’clock. The grief stricken ones have our siucere sympathies ;n this, their hour ol sore bereavement. Be a aural Lijaea. At the “ Hollywood Cemetery,” Richmond, V irginia, on *' Memorial Day,” Mrs. Charles M. WAi.urE placed a large and beautiful rm??, cors-m :• < ev< rgr<eus ami dowers, near the granite pyrumdal monument raised in memory • >l the (r*i:f< derate Dead, or which, in tbe cen to- ol the c - o •», on a tablet, were insetibed tbe toil, wing be.-uituul tributary lines : Araiu we come and at the ahrine.

Ab' till ihe latest day be come Shall that prond name be read ; Ou many a page their deeds shall shine, Aud men ehalfboaat. when in their line, They claim Confederate dead I Curran’s Wit.—Not long after bis first brief, a circumstance occurred which elicited tbe scitillation ot Curran’s genius, and rendered him alike a terror to the bench and tbe bar. Lord Robertson, ODe ol the presidirg Judges, was very unpopular both as a man ana a jurist! He had undertaken to edit an edition of B ack stone, but being afraid of the critics, be simply gave it the title of “Blackslone’e Commentaries by a Member ot the Irish Bar.” Soon alter the work appeared, Cuiran was pleading a case be fore his Lordship, when the Judge interrupted him and said: “Gentlemen of the jury, the learned counsel has mistaken the law ol this case. The law is so and so.” To which Curran tartly replied : “ it his Lordship says so, the etiquette of the court demands that 1 submit, though neither the statute nor the common law of the cotmliy should sanction his Lordship’s opin ion ; but it is my duty and privilege, too. to in form you, geutlemen of the jury, that I have never seen tbe law so interpreted in any book iu my library.” Lord Robertson sneeringly replied:" Per haps your library is rather small, Mr. Curran.” “ 1 admit,” said Curran, “ my library U small —but 1 have always found it more profitable to read good books than to publish bad ones— books which their very authors and editors are ashamed to own.” “ Sir,” said the Judge, “you are forgetting the dignify of the judicial character." To which Curran promptly replied : “Speaking of dignity, your lordship reminds me of a book I have read—I refer to Tristram Shandy—in which, if your lordship has read it, you will remember that the Irish Buffer Roche, on engaging in a squabble, lent his coat to a by stander, n nd after tbe fight was ended he dis covered that he had got a good beating and lost liis coat in the bargain—your lordship can apply the illustration.” •‘Sir,” said the Judge, very petulantly,“if you say another word I’ll commit you.” “It you do, my lord,” replied Curran, coolly, “both you and 1 shall have the pleasure of re flecting that 1 am not the worst thing your lord ship has committed.” Linked at Last.—Speaking of the singular shootiug affair at McArthur, Obio, on the 25tb ult, an Ohio exchange says: “ Miss Sarah M. Sage, connected witb one of Ibe best families in that village, and one of tbe most beautiful aud brilliant young ladies in the comtnuuiiy, has been for some time blindly infatuated witb a young man by the name of Mack Will, who is also ot the most respectable connection, and ol good talents, but whose habits of intemperance have become ot tbe most fearful character. The lady devoted herself to him, making every effort for his reformation, but apparently with out the slightest success, and becoming madden ed by the fruitlessness of her efforts, concluded to hold the saloon keepers responsible tor her failure. On Thursday night, between 9 and 10 o’clock, she visited the saloon of Pat. O’Keefe, with a loaded six-shooter revolver, and open ing the door fired upon O'Keefe, without effect. She then entered the saloon and accused O'Keefe ol selling liquor to WilL He denied and some altercation ensued when she fired agaiD without effect. A bystander then grasped her hand aud threw it down, and in this posi tion she fired agaiu, the ball passing through her shawl aud lodging in the thigh of O’Keefe, inflicting a serious and painful wound. She was then placed outside ot the door, and went away. The next morning she was arrested and takcu before a Justice and discharged on some technicality. On Friday she was re-arrested on a warrant Irom a Justice at Hamdeii, where she waived an examination and was held to answer at court in tbe sum ot five hundred dollars. On the same day, Will and a married sister of Miss Sage appeared at Hamden, and the party pro ceeded to Jackson, when the billigerent lady and her : piritous lover were safely linked in the silken chain of matrimony.” BliMMiL. Atlanta u lucrenslu:r Prosperity of tlie South. The following estimate of the value of South ern crop’, which we believe is as near correct as an article can be, shows a rapidly increasing Southern prosperity. The productions of last year, it is said, will amount in the aggregate to about $650,000,000, very nearly in the following proportions : Cot ton, 3,000,000 bales, $300,000,000 ; corn, 235,- 000,000 bushels, $200,000,000; sugar, wheat, to bacco, etc., $150,000,000 Total, $650,000,000 this, with a population of 11,000,000, is an average ot nearly $30 per head for the ent ire pop ulation. la whst other laud cauAhis be surpassed ? Railroad Disaster—A terrific railroad ac cident occurred Wednesday morning at o'clock, about two and a half miles from Pat terson, N. J., by which a construction train on the Delaware, Latkawana and Western Rail road, precipitated Irom a trestle-bridge, a dis tance ot 20 feet. Several people were killed aud wounded. The train, on which was a large number of laborers, passed along visiting places where re pairs were necessary. Several places bad been attended to, and the train was passing over a trestle-bridge, at a point where the Newark Railroad intersects the Delaware, Lackawana aud Western Railroad, when the bridge gave way, and the entire train wa9 precipitated to the depths below. Toe Lab m Question.—This Is a subject in which the people ot Atlanta have a great inter est. So many large enterprises are now on hand, and others iu contemplation, that the draft ou the muscle ot the country must be very heavy. The lair gionnd, alone, has now upwards oi four bundled hands employed on it, with still a demand lor and expectations ot many more. We will not undertake to estimate the number employed on the vast number of other buildings in the process of erection in the city and its vicinity. From this we may form some idea ol the amount of labor necessary to supply the wants ot AiLuta, and the consequent inter est shell** iu the supply. As yet, we believe tbe supply has beeu inadequate to the demand. In addition to the number needed for her own use, she has within the last year or two sup plied thousands for other localities. Agents are here nearly all the time enrolling men to work on I mns in ihe States west ot this, which have kept the surplus down to a proper standard While ou lids subject, we take occasion to allude to the subject ol emigration. The result ot the war reduced tbe uuinber ot laborers iu many ol tbe Southern States below the necessary amount; consequently much ot our valuable lands have had to lie fallow even to the present lime, and this inconvenience can only be reme died by emigration. Much has been done by priva'c companies aud individuals in this beliall, and our Stale set on loot a year or two ago a p!au to increase our laboring population A general emigtalion agent for the State was appoiuted, aud a loreigu agent to visit some ol ibe European States to induce emigration to Ibis country. As to the traits ot their labors, we are vet iu iguorance of them. The necessity of pushing forward ibis work is apparent to every one, aud it should have the special attentiou ol all those who wish to see Georgia rapidly advancing in the development ol her resources, and speeding her progress to that high state ot prosperity to which she is destined to attain. flic National Debt. 1 he lollowiug is tbe official statement ot the public debt made up to the 1st instant.

We had the pleasure yesterday to welcome and greet in our sanctam the above named highly esteemed friend and tallow citizen. It did our heart good to meet him once more on the soil of his home, aud see him looking so bright, healthy and cheertul. He has just re turned from a toreign tour ol six or eight months, during which he attended the medical school ol Paris, England and Germany, besides other nails ol tbe European continent, calling at most of tbe tuedieal instituiious which lav iu bis route; and after all his wanderings, has again lauded at bis cherished home, “fresh with health, animated with hope, and excited by de sire,” to enter again upon his arduous duties and’labors, in dispensing light and knowledge to the young disciples of Esculapius. He has enjoyed', and no doubt well improved the many opportunities affiorded him of adding to his am ple stock of medical knowledge. He also brought with him many specimens of surgical and other ap&ratus of the latest inventions, which will prove quite an accession to that de partment ot medical science. Prof. Orme has attained to a high reputation aam surgeon. As a man and a gentleman, he is a model in every- | thing that goes to beautify and adorn the chsr- 1 seter ot a man. One object he had in view was to improve his health, in which he has met with gratilying success, judging trom his appearance aud his own statements. He goes at once into ( the chair ot his professorship, in which fresh t laurels await him. Summer Resort—Tbe Na tional Hotel. At this reason ot tbe year, throughout all the miasmatic seciinns oi the 8"Uth, S-mthern sea ports, interior cities and towns, mo,petto visi tations from “lever and ague” aud other bilious diseases, thousands, just about this period, are seeking healthy summer resoits, most of them naturally preferring, as they ought to do, some popular Southern “spring” place, high-land or mounia n resort, freed from miasmatic influ ences, abounding with good water, a salubri ous atmosphere, pleasant nights tor sleep, and good hotel accommodations. For the enjoy ment of all these blessings, we invite those who seek them to come to Atlanta, and make it their summer residence. We do so lor the reason that, for health, it i3 not surpassed by any city or watering place in the Union, while for hotel accommodations the “ National,” in this city, is not now surpassed by any in the South. Invited by the enterprising proprietor of the “National”—Mr. E. il. Pond, one of its first founders, and that at a time when the city was iu ruins, and who since, from fire and its conse quences has suffered much pecuniary loss—we went through the whole establishment, and ob served critically its proportions, appurtenances, and it3 capacity to accommodate its guests. For extent and capacity to accommodate, tbe new part of the hotel, far exceeded any idea we had previously enteitained ol it. It has just been completed and tarnished at a heavy outlay on the part of its proprietor, in the most splendid manner, and is ready dow for the reception ot guests. Each bed and parlor room, including suits of rooms which may be desired by families, is earpetted with fine and elegant “ B us-e's,” and all are otherwise furnished with large and splendid mirrors, elegant and sub stantial wardrobes, marble-lop bureans and cen ter-tables—the patent wire mattress being used in many of the rooms—with new bedding, fine linen and other covering. On the north, or Ma rietta, side of this magnificent addition to the original budding—itself one of much capacity there are verandalis for the accommodation ot families and other guests, which afford a fine view of a large portion of the city, aud lor the greater party of the day a cool and pleasant re sort for them. Water, too, for personal use, and even for protection against accidental fires is supplied in abundance to every division of tbe the hotel, as well as to every room by hydraulic power. With the exception of a lew rooms designed for the occupation of single guests, the others are large, airy, and elegant. There is no hotel Bouth that can compare favor ably witb it in this respect, and none in the North that has better. The old part of the hotel has been undergo ing for some weeks past an entire refitting. New furniture of the most elegant description has been introduced into it; the walls repainted; and other ornamental, as well as useful, im provements made, which make it a fit adjunct to the new aud elegant building now at tached to it—both constituting now the “ National Hotel ” of this city, the finest that has ever been erected in it, and as fine as any in the State. The artist who has been engaged in refitting this part of the hotel, Mr. David Smith, has done it well, displaying much taste and ex pedition in his work. The culinary department of the hotel is one of the most perfect and cleanly we have ever seen, and the good things supplied it by the Superin tendent, M a. L. AJPond, one of the most skill ful and industrious^®erers in that line we know of, come iorlh to the table cooked and dressed in a style that cannot fail to please the most fas tidious in taste, as well as the hungry traveler. Over the Ladies’ Department of the Hotel, Mrs. L. A. Pond, the excellent and accomplished lady ot the efficient general Superintendent, Mr. L. A Pond, presides with dignity and effi ciency ; possessing 3s she does the happy talent of making tbe lady guests ot the hotel feel at home, and ever solicitous to make them enjoy themselves as though they were, this lady is as indispensable to the success of the establish ment, as the Proprietor is himself. Mrs. P. has also a most efficient assistant in the person ot Miss Agnes, an expert in all the mysteries of housekeeping, and to whom is en trusted the care of the linen, and other depart ments ot the hotel over which woman only can efficiently preside. Attached to the hotel is a large and elegant billiard room, and a bar supplied with the choicest liquors and wines. This department is under the charge of Mr. Pat. Garvey, a cour teous gentleman, and one well skilled in the art of preparing those tempting beverages which in the summer cool, and in the winter warm and invigorate, the inner man. Attached, also, to ihe “ National ” is one of tbe finest Restaurants in the South, daily sup plied with every seasonable luxury that can be obtained trom the seaboard to the mountains. At present, strawberries, ice creams, and other early fruits prevail which draw to it much lady custom, aud with its other attractions, makes it one of the most popular resorts in our city. The gentlemen who officiate in the business office, are experienced in their vocation, courte ous iu their reception ot gue9ts, and ever prompt in responding to their inquiries or wants. We are pleased to see again, at his old post in that office, our friend Maister. May he remain a fixture there! The servants of the “ National ” are under the most perfect discipline. Those who wait upon the table are uuder tbe vigilant eye of a ■Steward who makes every one know his place, and sees to it that the guests are promptly and well served. The capacity of the “ National ” to accom modate guests comfortably, is now as great as any in the State. It contains one hundred and fifty large aud splendid rooms, aud ten small ones. We are assured by the Proprietor that he can accommodate comfortably 400 guests. A number ot our most respectable cty resi dents, with their lamihes, now occupy rooms in the “National.” This makes the social circle iu it, refiued, altractive, and agreeable. Atlanta is largely indebted to Mr. E. B Pond tor his enterprise iu fixing up this elegant and spacious establishment.' It has been done at a 'arie outlay,and we trust he will Ire handsomely remunerated lor it. Parties seeking summer resorts will find At lanta one ol ih-j most agreeable places in the Sou'll lor that purpose, and the “ National Hotel” one ol (he very best in the btate. We pay this tribute io it, f.»r it is deserved. Horrid. A cable dispatch from Constantinople, Tur key, dated the 1st instant, says that “ the fear ful vindictiveness ot the native Christians iD Romalia, a Turkish province, against the Jewish Dopulatinn, culminated Sunday in the whole sale butchery ot the Jews by the Christians. Thousands ot men, women and children, were dragged from their houses aod slaughtered. The woi k ol slaughter still goes on in the inte rior. The authorities have made no movement to cheek it. The Christians took advantage ot the absence ot the reigning Prince, Cbarles, and at a preconcerted signal began the total ex termination of their enemies.” This is hoi rid, aud calls for the prompt inter vention ol every 7 civilized natioa in the world. A Radical Governor’s Head Level.— Governor Ah’..rn, ot Mi>sissippi, finds himself constrained to write a -trong fitter to the New Era, at Washiut-ton, agaiust mixed schools.— Tne Governor dcuouuees them as originating with a class ot hypocrites who do not wish to benefit tbe negro, and have no sympathy with him. This, says the Augusta Chronicle, is harsh language ior the Governor to use against his political Irieuds and supporters ; hut never theless, it is just beyond doubt, truthful beyond STATE NEWS.

The Macon papers mention the fact that the municipal government ot that city are taking steps tor the inauguration of a system of water works for that city. It is proposed to build a canal, which, besides tarnishing water to the city, will give Macon an immense water power ior mauutacturiog purposes. The scheme is certainly a leasiole one, and it is stated that capitalists aie ready to engage in the enterprise. J. D. Waddell va. Rome Railroad.—The above named suit for damages, caused by the plaintiff having walked off irom the unlighted platform at the Rome Depot, some three years since, has been compromised by the Railroad Company paying $15,000 damages.

As a warning to the young ladies in these parts, we will mention a little incident that occurred at Hock Spring Church, last Sunday, in a neighboring county.

The Growing Crops —During the last week there have been gentle aud reireshing rains throughout the btate, and reports ol tbe growing crops are most satisfactory. Stands of cotton are, we learn, unusually good, and the area planted considerably larger than last year. We are forced to believe that corn has been generally neglected, and the worst results to the planting interest may be anticipated. With a laige crop of cotton at ten cents per pound, and corn to buy at $2 a bushel, after paying tqy fertilizers, too uiauy planters will, we fear, find themselves a 5 poor at the close of the year as they were at the begiunmg.—Farmer and Artisan.

Against the unendurable exactions ot the Internal Revenue system; for the abolishment ot the annoyances of stamp?, licenses, and taxes upon sales and incomes, and in favor of making the collections, as remodelled, by State and county officers. 3. Against the profligacy, corruption and im becility of the present Government officials. 4.

Tbe fall Rlcor ot tbe Law. Attorney-General Hoar is reported as saying that the lull rigor of tbe law would be m< ted out to Gen.

A Northern exchange says, that tbe West Point cadets should be marched imme fiately upon Cozzen’s Hotel, the disloyal landlord of which refused the new colored cadet a bed the other night. About Cuba. A rumor was current in Washington Wednes day night that Mr. Banks and Secretary Fish have had some sharp words over the policy pur sued by the Government in the Cuban question, and that Gen. Banks told Secretary Fish he was disgracing the name oi Americans by his oppo sition to Cuban independence. State Authority Rapidly Docllnln*. The naturalization bill introduced in the United States Senate by Conkling, and no doubt to become a law of tbe land, is one of tbe most startling movements yet made in the direction of centralism. It ousts the State courts ot juris diction in the premises, conferring exclusive power to issue naturalization certificates to Federal courts and Federal registers in bank ruptcy. The authority of State tribunals is steadily but rapidly being reduced to a nonentity by Congressional encroachment. A Tale of the Early Days of “ Jackson’ Purchase.”—A good story is told of John W Crockett and Jim Gibson, both of them able law> yers. and iu lull practice in the early days ot Jackson’s Purchase. They both resided at Ful ton, iD Hickman county. On one oceasion, they were employed on opposite sides in an eject ment case, before a magistrate. The court was reading the law to the jury, and when he got through, Gibson asked him tor his book, sayiDg that the statute just read was new to him. Crockett refused to give n to him on the ground that it was his own private property, and it Mr Gibson wanted the benefit of law books, there were some lor sale. Tbe court ruled that the book was private property, and that Gibson had no right to see it, except with Crockett’s con sent. Gibson was puzzled, but being a man of resources, he fell upon a plan which completely upset Crockett’s calculations. He stepped back and found nnder a desk an old copy of Noah Webster’s spelling book, and in addressing the court, he read from the speller: “ Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth ot Kentucky, that all laws heretofore passed (here fitting Crockett’s law) be, and the same are here by repealed.” Crockett sprang to his leet with, “ Let me see that book.” “ No you don’t,” says Gibson; “ this book, sir, is private property, and I am not in the habit of packing law books around for the benefit of others.” It is needless to say that Crockett lost his case, Gibson haying the last say on him. Turning the Tables.—The British mission aries have been industriously engaged in India for many years in endeavoring to convert the Hindoos to Christianity, and mast have been quite unprepared to see a missionary of Brahma come to London lor tbe purpose ot converting the English to the Br&hminical religion. StraDge to say, this man, who is now preaching tc crowd ed congregations, is makiog an unusual stir in religious circles. He is a man of decided elo quence and talent, and is not only well educated but speaks and preaches in English. The very novelty oi the thing, together with his powerful arguments and cogent logic, have induced many to attach serious importance to his teachings If he is followed by a number ot others, there will be the extraordinary spectacle witnessed ot tbe East endeavoring to impress its religion morals and ethics upon the West, and vice versa.—Courier Journal. A Heroic Deed.—While a party of ladies and gentlemen were enjoying themselves at a picnic, a lew mihs from Colfax Station, on tbe Indianapolis and Chicago railroad, on Saturday, the dwelling Louse ot a Mr. Thomas, a short distance from the ground, took fire. The child ren (age respectively, eleven, eight and two years,) were playing iuthe second story, and the older one?, frightened at the flames, ran down stairs, leaving ihe babe iu the upper room. The picnickers hastened to the scene, and upon their arrival louud tlie house enveloped in flames. In the confusion the babe was not missed until the stairway was almost consumed, and neither parents nor Irieuds of the child seemed willing to risk an attempt to save it. At this stage ot affairs Mr. H. C. Holt, ot Chicago, hastily in quired the location of the room in which the child was left, aud wrapping himself in & quilt, dashed up the burning stairs, found the almost suffocating child and brought it out safely. He had scarcely emerged trom the house when the stairs fell, and immediately after the room and Becond story followed. Mr. Holt was severely burned, but the child was not at all injured. Too much praise cannot be awarded Mr. Holt ior his heroism. Really Something in it—A few days ago we published a statement trom the Lexington, Ky., Gazette, that a c!.a )• r had taen pns’ed by the Kentucky Irf-glalafUre uuder Wfirch the Tiuateesot the Cincinnati Southern Railroad Company could proceed with their enterprise. It would seem from the following paragraph, which appears in the Cincinnati Enquirer, that our Kentucky contemporary was not mistaken: “ We understand that the honorable Geo. R McKee, the venerable Representative of Garrard eouDty in the Kentucky Legislature, was in our cavil, aua well and truiy deserved. But he does j city yesterday, aod Lad an intei view with some not stop with this denunciation.

The Philadelphia Press says of the return of Whittemore to Congress by his negro constitu ency : “ It iB discreditable to the country that such a person should be re-electedand adds, “ It is much to be regretted that the constituency ot this mao could not have been better informed concerning his character, and especially with the disgraceful circumstances under which he left the Honse.” No such excuse can be made for his constituency. Their eyes were lullj opened to his character and antecedents. They knew all about him—bis trafficking in cadet ships and bis enforced resignation But not- wilhstauding all, they have rc-elected him. aud thus present him to the country aB a man atter their own hearts. He will be what Mr. Silos Wegg calls “ the minion of fortune and the worm ot the hour.” ui BOLAND NOB AN OLIVEB.” From the New Era of Sunday last, we trans fer IRQ our columns this morning, the following . TM h» e us well as forcible illustration of the old Bring, “ a Roland for an Oliver,” or, in Modern parlance, the “ tit for tat ” idea, 90 well understood, and so often exemplified in the political and other controvtrsit s ot the day. In the instance brought to tlie notice of the public by the Era, the Ex-Governor ot Idaho, who has undertaken in the prospectus oi bis True Georgian” to pronounce the State Road as being «actually looked upon as unsafe and danger- mn 11 Superintendent Blodgett, it must be rnntrenrt by all, has retorted in tbe most happy manner, tbe stinging effects of which the “ Ex-Governor ” must feel. As for the working condition of the Road itself, it is, trom all the reliable information we ’have oi it, in excellent condition, and no more than the best condition ed railways of the South imperiling the lives or persons of those who travel over it. No one therefore need tear that he will " perish by the wayside ” in being conveyed over it. From the New Era. A RAC IT LETTER. Tbe Governor of Idaho aud the State Road. The spirit of “ investigation ” which has so stirred the bile oi local politicians tor weeks past seems not to have wholly omitted the corres pondents, reporters and attaches ot the daily press. So now that “ interviewing ” has become somewhat antiquated, “investigating” very natu rally takes its place. Under these circumstances, private papers wilt sometimes find their way to the printer; and ibis seems alt the more natural in view ot the tact that, during such seasons ol investigation, papers and priv&ie correspondence caouoi claim immunity Irom examination, the more especially when the investigators are conjured, by atl tbta is sacred and holy, to. make a “ clea i stuu kiug ” ot the work before them. Thus it was that one of the Era reporters came into possession ot the lollowiug rac> let ter, which he picked up, as he tells ua, some where about the Superintendent’s office, at the State Road Depot. As this letter is very read a ble, and, moreover, as it is of iut< re-d to tin public, we have concluded to publish it and lakt the consequences: Western and Atlantic Rau-road, I Superintendent’s op, ice, t- Atlanta, Ga., June 3U, lslu. ) Dr. Samuel Bard, Philadelphia, Pa.—Dear Sik—Your lavor of the 29th ult., with which you surrender your tree pass over this road, given yon in January last as editor ol the Nmo Era, and in which you also inclose your card as editor of the True Georgian—thereby intima ting your desire for a free pass a9 editor ot the last named paper - baa been received. 1 band you, with my compliments, a tree pass over our road, as editor of ihe “Daily and Weekly True Georqian I fear, however, it will be of little use to you, il you really believe the following statement, which occurs over your signature in your pi os pec’n9 ot “ The True. Georgian ”—“ The State Railroad, which, under former adminis trations, wa9 an unfailing source ot large and constant revenue, though its gross receipts Lave greatly increased, has almost ceased to contrib ute to the State Treasury. The road, mean while, suffers for want of necessary repairs, and ts actually looked upon as unsafe and danger ous ,” etc. Now, if this be true, or, if you even believe it to be true, I apprehend that you would hardly put yourself in a position where your file would be in constant and unnecessary peril. Further more, if you really believe what you say iu your prospectus, that tact will, in all probability, preclude tbe possibility of your ever believing otherwise; for I am persuaded that no prudent man like yourselt would volun tarily put himself in tbe way ot positive danger or peril, merely for the' pm pose of demonstrating to the world, and to hi- triends, that tbe road is “unsate and dangerous.’ and, consequently, that wbat you say Is true! Whilst I regret, therefore, tbe unfortunate state of your mind which wifi prevent you from usiog the free pass, I hope you will do me the justice to remember that 1 consider the road perfectly safe, and, consequently, do not, by compliance with your delicately iusinuated wish, mediate anything like violence to yonr persou, or mdulge the hope that you "may perish, by the way side In conclusion, allowime to thank you tor your warm expressions ol personal friendship, and your best wishes tor my bappiness and sue cess, and beg leave to subscribe myself, your obedient servant, Foster Blodgett, Sup’t. Bt TELEGRAPH. NEW YORK ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES. Woman’s Rights. The progress which “ Woman’s Rights” is making in England far exceeds that making in the United States. Women, of high rank, and acknowledged literary attainments, are publicly advocating the peculiar tenets ot their faith; the justice of their cause; and their right to suffrage and other political privileges from which they are now excluded. We see it stated that Lady Amberley, daughter-in-law ot Earl Russell, has taken the platform for the cause ot Women’s Rights; and those of its fashionable opponents who called for a sign have it now to their heart's content. But this is not the only sign that the Woman Question is eminently interest ing to eminent women. Miss Helen Taylor, the step-daughter of John Stuart Mill, is among the most able champions of her sex in England. Women as distinguished as Miss Hare, Mrs Grote, and the wife of Professor Fawcett have also joined the canvass lor the new franchise, the new emancipation. Miss Jean lngtlow thinks the world is better served than governed and may be looked upon as a quiet sympathizer with the more moderate of her speaking sisters The wife of Jacob Bright, like Jacob Bright him self, is another lover ot impartial suffrage, and no doubt John Bright’s occupation of knitting garters during convalescence has some occult relation io the Women’s Movemeut. Mias Angelina Burden Coutts, one ot the richest women in Europe, already votes in vestry meet ings, and other very respectable ladies lend name and example to the English cause oi Women’s Rights. This looks like progress is being made in England in behalf of Woman’s Rights, that is not being made in this country, “ the signs ot the times’’here being plainly indicative of a decline in the movement—one for which we have never had any sympathy, no more than we have had lor the free love associations which have so demoralized every locality in which they have existed and still do exist. Woman’s proper sphere is other than a political lecturer. The “ help meet for man ’’ she is, but not tbe independent being ot him, which, iu her lolly, she would become. NOON D18PATCHHH. Washington, June 6.-The Reconstruction Committee has adopted a rule not to remove dis abilities except upon written application. The recommendations ot friends or high officials are not respected. The petition must be accompa nied with expressions indicating proper sub mission. Authentic contradiction of the Jewish mas sacre in Roomania causes great rejoicing throughout the country. The House has adopted a resolution directing the Committee on Wavs and Means to report a bill abolishing duty ou coal. In the Senate, bills were introduced granting lauds to the State ol Alabama to aid ia°the con struction of the Savannah & Memphis Railroad and to prohibit contracts lor the importation of Chinese coolies. onr ah a. Omaha, June 6.—George Thomas, city editor ol the Republican, is dead. He was lormerly connected with the New York Herald. NEW YORK. Troy, June 6.—The railroad bridge was set on tire aud narrowly escaped destruction. The same bridge was burned in ’62, involving the destruction of the business portion of town aud a high wind this morning would probably have repeated that calamity. New York, June 6.—The ship, Wm. F. Stonewer, ot the Blackmail Liverpool Line, has been burned. Her cargo ol lard, grain and cotton was destroyed. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia, June 6.—Seven ships with petroleum departed for Europe this week with over a million gallons. Shipments from this port are five million gallons in excess ol same time last year. FOREKIN. Madrid, June 6.—The Englishmen raptured by Spanish Brigands were rescued, aud have arrived at Gibraltar. Havana, June 6.—DeRodas telegraphs that one lniudred Spaniards and two gunboats dis persed some fillibusterers from New York and lauded near Neuvitas, killing ten, including Captain Harrison—two wounded, three cap tured, with all the stores. Several prisoners were executed immediately. TLe 9leamer George P. Upton, which landed the expedition, escaped. EVE Ihe Intone Tax. The whole tenor of the discussion of the in come tax shows that on this point, at least, the House has become thoroughly awake to the feeling of the country relative to a reduction in the burden oi taxation. There seems little probability that the recommendation of the Committee on Ways and Means will be enter tained. The plan which has so frequently been urged ot a reduction in the rate, and an increase in the amount allowed for exemption, ought to be adopted as the best compromise under all the circumstances. Telegraphic Assoclatlous. It the tallowing, which we copy irom the New York Standard of the 3d instant, be true, the New York Associated Press institution must look to its laurels. This age is one ol progress, and it must keep up witli the enterprise ot the age, else it wifi lose much oi that patronage which it now has and has hitherto eDjoyed.— We have been so long served by it that we should dislike now to see it superceded by aoy other press association, either in enterprise, ability, or wifi, to serve its old Southern patrons with the earliest reliable telegraphic intelli gence : The American Press Association has done good service to tbe public within tbe fast few days, and won subsiactial viciories over Ibai decaying institution the Associa’ed Press The Mail, Democrat, News, Brooklyn Eagle, an I other papers belonging to the A. P. A., we e ahf a l of all thi ir cotemporaries Wednesday | cvenii’g in giving nil account <»f the massacre ol ifnr Jews in Rumania, one ol the most tragic • >■ curieucea ol modem times. The Associated Press papers, in their iater editious, copied this news, without, ot course, giving the slightest credit to their better-informed rivals. Then all the morning journals in the Associated Press yesterday were obliged to depend on the A P. A. for the same intelligence. I be Tribune kept it almost entirely from its readers. The Sun undertook to rewrite it, and made a number ol blunders, which were very amusing. In another column we print an account of the meeting of theWestern Press Association, which was attended by the representatives of the American Press Association, who, by special request, made arguments explaining the objects and basis of their O'g mizaftan There is very little doubt that the days ot the Associated Press are numbered; that its monopoly wifi be soon OYerthrown, and that the journals ot the coun try will shortly be in a position of perfect in dependence, giving all the news of the day for the lowest sum possible, and thus increasing a hundred-fold their usefulness and influence. ING DISPATCHES, WASHINGTON. Washington, June 6.—In the House, Mr. Bowen introduced a bill lor the sale ot certain sea islands. Referred to the Reconstruction Committee. Mr. Newsbam offered a bill to repair the levees of Red river, trom .Shreveport to mouth ot the river. Foreign affairs made the special order for Tuesday next, when Banks' Cuban bill cornea up. River and harbor appropriations were made the special order for Tuesday. Mr. Schenck’s tariff amendments to the tax bill were adopted; also, an ameudment relieving coasting and fishing vessels from tonnage duties. The bill finally passed—150 to 35. Its features have already been published. Post office appropriations were taken up. Mr. Sargent introduced a bill preventing ser vile contracts. In the Senate, New York merchants and importers petitioned for the abolition of the tax on sales. Mr. Stewart introdq^y^bill to prohibit cS= tracts for servile labr^Bniich he said was in tended to break up the system ot coolie con tracts, by which Chinese laborers were imported io this country, and held to labor for four years. The contract is to return the Chinese to his own country, dead or alive, at the end of four years, and the religious feeling ol the Chinese prevents them from breaking the coutract. This is really a system of servile labor—the wages are ex- eeedingly low and can be called by no means Iree. The bill provides that no contracts with Chinese shall be good loDger than six month^fe. Immediate action should be had, as agents are now about to introduce them into South Caro lina and Massachusetts. He moved that the bill be referred to the Judiciary Committee, aod gave notice that he should press it to early action. Indian appropriations were considered. A motion to make the Texas Southern Pacific Railroad a special order prevailed, but subse quently Mr. Drake moved to reconsider. The Senate is in session to-night In the Senate, to night, a bill for the settle ment of claims for quartermasters and commis sary stores tarnished to or taken by the United Stat 8, within the States in rebellion, during the late war, came up in order and was debated. Motions to pass over the bill, and to recommit to the committee, were defeated. The debate is now in progress. The election passed with comparative quiet. Emery’s election seems conceded. ALABAMA. Montgomery, June 6 — A so-called meeting of citizens, called by J.C. Kefter and other Repub licans, to censure the action ol Judge Busteed, of the Uuited States District Court, for incarce rating Auditor Reynolds, for disobedience ot the injunction of the Court, resulted in a grand failure. Thomson, a negro member of the Leg- isture, was elected President, and announced that Busteed should be sustained. Attorney General Morse said Reynolds disapproved of tbe meeting. Resolutions were introduced by Keller against Busteed in severe terms, and the meeting voted them down and broke up. A warrant was issued against Busteed, this morning, by Keffee, charging him with libelling. Reynolds and two negroes were deputized to serve the warrant, which Busteed evaded by being driven to the court room iu a close car riage and giving bonds. ENGLAND.
