I “ERROR CBA8ES TO BE DANGEROUS WHEN REASON IS LEFT FREE TO COMBAT IT ”—Jeferaon. VOLUME XXII ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1870. NUMBER m UJnilg intelligencer PUbUSITKi) D /1LY ' • 1 JARED IRWIN WHITAKER, Proprietor. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, Wodnesriay, November 30, (870. slavery nut) (irtcMlon. It our Itadical exchanges ill examine the National Democratic Pialiorm, paLli-hed in another column of this |ournal, they will there see that the National Democracy b*« declared the question of slavery and secession settled tor all time to come aud never to be renewed or reagitated. These two qne«tioDS are therefore to be con sidered dkau issues lor ail time. But among the living issues, as are distinctly sot forth in the Htate and National Democratic Tbe Frauco-BoMlto War. Our dispatches would indicate that the situa tion about Paris i= becoming critical. There must be considerable suSeriug within the walls on account ot scarcity «»! provisions, and each day brings ihe event desired by the besiegers, to-wit: A surrender ol the garrison to avoid siarvatioD, so much nearer such a result. On the other hand, the Duke of Mecklenburg asks for further instructions admitting that ne can not withstand the superior strength of the army of the Loire. Von Moitke replies that he can possibly spare no more troops from the army around Paris, and that the Duke must fail back until he forms a junction with Frederick Charles The army of the Loire thus apaears to be marching steadily Paasward with a view to joining other formidable bodies of French troops, which are endeavoring to swing around a wing of the besieging army, and thus in all probability make an attack lrom the rear, while the garrison, by a well direcud sortie, is to co- operile with them in striking a severe blow upon ihe main army of the enemy. The indi cations are that something ol this sort is sur le Platforms, will be found an uncompromising . , ... , Democratic apposition to a centralized consoli - i tapis, am. a lew days will most likely deter- duted Government, and to the denial of the 1 mine the late of Paris That the Prussians right of each Htate in the Union of States to j think the city almost starved out is apparent regulate the right of suffrage. The Democratic party is a live constitutional party, and has arraigned the Radical parly lor the rotated violation of the Oonatitution, and the disregard of right, and the unparalleled op- preseiou and tyranny, which have constantly marked it* career, and will continue thearruign- rnent before the American people until the Federal Union ol equal Slates is restored to its original object and purpose. It was created and formed by the States for the good of the States— nothing more nor less than an ag« nt to r< pre sent the g< ucral inter* st * f the States anu tor the common good of the people, acnng and dis charging its duty within certain specific and ex- pressly delegated powers. As tne creature or agent of the States, it cannot impair or destroy the rights ot the Stales not delegated. The Stales were and are to be leit pefhctly tree to exercise and to manage their dom« Stic in ternal Hflairs in their own way for themselves, and with this understanding there could be no conflict between tbe States and the General Govern ment. but all acting in perfect Larmony and lor the general good ot tbe people. Such a Union as this would perpetuate itself in the hearts cl the people forever. Contemptible Tbruat at a Dead Hero. “R. E Let is to have a ulalin iu Richmond The leader of the rebel armies is to he cast in bronze or cut iu stone. Future generation* are to look upon his likeness, that treason may he nurtured and iivc. He who metited a traitor's death ou the scaffold is to be honored as a demigod.” The lines within quotation marks were writ ten by some miserable caricature on humanity, depraved in the extreme, utterly destitute ol respect for virtue, talent and bravery. He seeks to veut his spleen of Jealousy and malice against a man he could neither lace in war nor asso ciate with in peace—one whom he could not have looked upon without feeling how terrible the contrast with his insignificant self. Forney, the proprietor of “my two dailies," saw lit to publish it and thereby lends bis aid cow- ardlv thrust becoming particeps crlmim& ta an attempt to bring reproach upon a name which ull true men of all nations must respect for the many virtues ot hitn who bore it. Gcueral Robert E Lee should aud will have a statue in bronze erected in Richmond, but his image will be “ I'hop g'aven on our prate n! hearts. Till mi-.raury is deao." Yes, as long a« respect for honor, bravery and virtue snail have a resting place iu the hearts ot men, his uame will he reveiud aud his memo ry respected. Long alter a generation of For-, neys have nuuk in the tomb aud their memories buried iu the deepest vaults ot oblivion. Tbe New menace ot War. Forney, under the foregoing caption, lets ofl the foil >wing, in which he wouid insinuate that the Alabama claims would be pushed against England in tbe event that she becomes en tangled in a Russian war. If Mr Korney and his party desired the eood ot the United Stales, he would desire anything sooner than our en tanglement in these European difficulties: “ When President Grant resolved to bide his time lietoro prematurely pressing what are technically known as the Alabama claims upon the British Government, he did as any man ol business would, have done who held an honest obligation against an unruly creditor, perlectly able yet stupidly resolved not to pay. He de termined to let the debt slaud at interest, and to seize the first fitting moment to foreclose. And just so with Russia in demanding the repeal or revision of the eleventh and thirteenth articles ot the treaty ol Paris, by which she exposes her whole southern border accessible to foreign com merce to assault, without defense, it Turkey should ever get into a war with another power. This hard condition was wrung lrom her after her defeat in the Crimea. Like the out rages of Great Britain upon the United Elates, Russia was struck when she was iu the death-grapple; aud now that one of the chief parties to this treaty, France, is iu conflict with the great Germanic power, Prussia, Russia steps forward and demands the removal ol fetters placed upon her limbs while she was a sort ol captive in the bauds of tbe Great Powers, and what Di kes this demand more formidable is the fact that Piussla is claimed to be at the hick of it. The realization of tbe dream of a United Germany without Austria is easily consummated and sealed by allowing’tlie Danube to pa>s inder the control ol Russia, a iiiend and all}', thus defeating the darling design ol England iu her eflorts to check the growth of the Muscovite, giving the “sick man,” Turkey, into the healthy embrace of the Russian, aud adding auuthcr humiliation to France. France i9 in fact out ol the complica tion. She torced England into the Crimean war, a d forced the offensive Treaty ot Paris upon ttie defeated Czar. And now England must stand bv that treaty, or tamely yield to the demand of Russia.” And whatever England may do iu the matter, she cau win no honors. The cause is not wor thy ot a war on her part against Russia, Htid yet ii she iPtreats from it she is disgraced. Her loug years of diplomacy at Constantinople against the Russiaus leave her no other alterna tive but to tiuhu What a mission this for the proudest Protestant power in the world 1 Meanwhile, Prussia pursues her steady course of coi quest against the French, coolly watching ail her other enemies held at bay by her strong and muscular ally, Russia. And lire Uuited Histes waits for England to square the account current with f patience not the less admiral) e because it will soon become a matter ot compound interest." A 'Western paper says: “Out on tbe Union Pacific Road, not long ago, a Kitkapoo Indian saw a locomotive coming down tbe track at the rule oi forty miles an hour. He thought it was an improved breed ot buffalo, and was anxious to secure it, so as to take the prize st the annual exhibition ot the Kickapoo Agricultural Society. So he fastened one end of his lasso to his waistbelt, aud, when the engine got near enough, he threw the noose nicely enough over the smoke-stack. Perhaps it is not necessary, but we may as well relate that the locomotive did not stop. Tbe engineer and fireman wit nessed the most successful attempt to do the fly ing trapeze made by an) Kirk*.poo Indian upon the plains since the first ol January last. There was au aboriginal laneral at the next station when the engine arrived. The grave was not large; f «r they only buried a small piece ot copper-coin d meat tied to a string and en closed in a sardine box.” from the fact that they avoided opening fire thus long when we were informed sometime ago that then batteries were prepared. That there must he a great battle before Paris ere long, all seem fu-reed, for the hope of the city must tic placed in the. combination aud success ful attack ol the French troops without her walls. The Position of Russia. Now that tbe first flush ot anger has given way to a calmer view o! the attitude of Rnssia in regard to a revision ot the Paris treaty, tbere seems to be considerable leaning towards a peac<ful solution ot Uie difficulty ou tbe part ot the other contract) ug powers. England is some what divided in regard to a proper course, but Quten Victoria seems disposed towards an amicable settlement. Great Britain could not hope to contend with Russia succesefully if she were only aided by Turkey, and the other powers do not seem to second any hasty move looking toward a declaration ol war. It is likely that a conlerence of the Great Powers will be held, and that the demands ot Russia will be so moderated that an honorable settle ment can be made without an appeal to arms. We nKGHET that our iriends of the Augusta Chronicle & /sentinel, have given, with a guatt editorial endorsement, a Northern estimate of the present rice crop of Georgia and Carolina, made up do doubt, by interested speculators, anti lasted wholly to notice our reply, which appeared in the Republican a few days ago. There is no reliable authority lor the statement that the present crop will reach 80 000 tierces and exceed that of last year by 15,000 tierces. We have taken considerable pains to ascertain the truth, aud have yet to find the first man — plautor or facior—who is not Baiisfisd that the crop will not equal that ol 1869.—Savannah Republican. A letter has been received by a prominent official in this city from General Schenck in which that gentleman explicitly states that he shall take no steps toward contesting the seat ot his successful competitor, Colonel Campbell, and that if it is contested it will be by the Re publicans of his district. General ftcheuck seems to regard as binding the decision of the full Republican beech ot the Htate Supreme Court, um.er which the vote ot tbe soldiers iu the House at Dayton was refused by the election judges, and, aside from the loss sustained on that account, it is not believed that sufficient frauds or irregularity can he shown to invalidate the certificate held by Mr. Campbell; white the friends ot that gentleman claim on the other hand that they can show more frauds on tbe Republican side than can be established agaiEst the Democrats —Philadelphia Press. There is a letter now in our post office ad dressed to “Hon. John T. Cootin, Talbotton, Ga — to he forwarded it not at home." The “ Hon. John T.” is “ a gentleman ol color" and for two y* ais has misrepresented our county iu the Legislature. He has never during his life spent as many as ten days in the county. His home is in Washington City, and there our post mastci thinks ol foi warding the letter. Conley claims Augusta as his home, but is unable to give tbe number ot his residence. Costin claims Talbotton as his home, but is a stranger to us and bas a family living in Washington.

Tna Paris Reveille has a long description of a terrible engine ot destruction, which, it says, is oi the power of fifty mitrailleuses. It states that it pours out a continual stream of bullets to the distance of about six hundred yards, with out noise, tire, or smoke, and can be hauled about as easily as an ordinary steam fire engine. At the same time, it is incomparably cheaper than engines us'ng powder, tor, while it can shoot ofl 300,000 bullets lor 35 Irenes, the same number shot ofl with powder would cost 6,000 tiaucs. The propelling power is created by a generation of gases. It is claimed that with such a machine three men can destroy an entire regiment in a lew minutes. We sincerely regret that we were uninformed of the arrival in our city, several dajs since, of Stephen R. Mallory, tormerly Senator from Florida to the United States Senate, and sub sequently Secretary ol the Navy of the United States. His arrival was unannounced and un heralded, and indisp<*sition prevented his seeing, many ot those who are honored by his friend ship He left this city last evening on board tbe U. S. mail steamer Cuba for Key West, im portant legal business demanding his attention at that point.

The Comino Mar—Gen. Aurelles de Pala- dines the victor of Orleans, is now 53 years ol age. He honorably served for many years in the armies ot his country, and his services in Algeria 25 years ago, when he was quite a young man, were enthusiastically complimented by that true gentleman and preut cevalier, Gen Cavignae. When tbe agents ot Bonaparte, pre vious to the coup d'etat ot December 2, 1851, left no stone unturned to secure the assistance of as many talented young colonels and generals oi the army as possible. Aurelles de Paladines lent a ce&t ear to their fatal insinuations, and, as a consequence, he has ever since remained a subject oi uistrust to the Bmapartist Court.— While such military nincompoops as Craurobcrt, Vailiaut, Magnan and Raudou were promoted to Marshalsbips, Aurelles de Palladines could not rise above the rank oi a simple brigadier That was his position in the army when the Empire colapsed Alter all the humilliaiing de feats ol the French armies, he found himself un der the command <-f one ot the meanest and most corrupt t.<ols ot the Second Empire, tbe so called Gi ncral De la Motterouge, who allow ed himself to be beaten by an enemy.whose strength was less than halt of his own. Tbe Provisional Go.eminent at Tours saw finally that it it would gain victories it must look lor generals who honestly loved their country, and unite to their patiiotism the tact to handle large bodies ot troops. And so they entrusted to Gen. Aurelhas de Paladmes an important command, aud to him is due the honor oi having been the nrs< to turn the tide of general French disaster. — Cincinnati* Commercial. It is usual, when parties die, to publish some thing that is good oi them and leave the bad out as much as possible. But, contrary to the usual rule, tbe obituaries ol the Radical party in Missouri, with which the thousand presses ol the country are teeming, contain nothing good whatever.

World. It appears lrom an article in the Dzier.nik Poznanski, a Polish paper published in Prussia, that some ot the mest brilliant achievements ot the German army in the present war were per formed, not by Germans, but by Poies from the Polish provinces ol Prussia. The third divis ion of the landwehr, under Gen. Kummer, whose coolness and determinatiou in the battles belore Metz have been so warmly praised, con sists almost entirely of Foies. Radical RUrepraaeatatloa. It has been tbe studied course ot Radicalism at the South to represent the Democratic party as bitterly opposed to everything tending to work to the advantage oi the negro, and they have not only told tbe negroes that the Demo cratic party would take away the right of suf frage from them, but would pat them back in slavery if that party ever got in power. This flaunting libel has been so ingeniously drilled into the African race resident here, that many or most ol them believe it, and continue to act on that theory, and put Radicals into office because they are told that Democrats would take away their freedom, Ac., Ac. After the recent elections in Alabama, says an exchange, a negro came to us and asked if things with the negro would go on as before, now that the Democrats had carried the State. Of course be was assured that be would still have the right to vote, enjoy his freedom, make money, Ac., and do everything that he was allowed to do under Radical rule. He might have aiso been told that in future he would have less tax to pay on his £mall earnings and that the future, under Democratic auspices would bring about a better feeling between his people and the native born sturdy sons of tbe South, whose friendship would be worth a thousand fold more to him than that of the carpet baggers who had ridden upon his back into office. The Radical party have tried to alienate the negro from the South ern while man arid have succeeded much better than the negro’s welfare would demand. In South Carolina, where the Reform Party adopted the Radical platform almost in toto, the negro still under false impressions, and under the leadership of avaricious Radical carpet bag gers stood far ofl and rejected every overture that was made by the Reformers, which latter class, in eflorts at economy and honesty, were workiog for the good of the negro as well ss of themselves Yet, the darky, true to the prompt ings of the Loyal-Leaguers, would net act in concert with them because the reform move ment had some of the Democratic element in it. That this policy on their part is suicidal to negro interest, none but those who wish to ride into office by his vote, and at the same time perpetuate their party, can for a moment doubt. Whenever want comes upon him the Rad ical is the last man from whom a negro would be likely to get aid, but when he wants advice about how be shall vote there is always plenty of the article in store. In the approaching elec tions in Georgia we hope that the negro ele ment will act wisely and well—that it will be remembered that they are to live among the native sons of Georgia, and that it will be to their interest to act in concert rather than in an tagonism to their neighbors. BY TELEGRAPH. NEW TORS ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES NOON D18PATCHH8. FOREIGN. Vienna, November 23—Soldiers, whose terms have expired, are only dismissed upon furlough in view cf the probable war, London, November 23.—Reports from the north of France are favorable to the French. The sieges of Montmedy and Mesciers have suddenly been raised by tbe besiegers, who moved towards the interior of France. Lille is well armed, provisioned and garri soned. Warlike manufactures are progressing ac tively. The Enquirer thinks that Lill is nearly as strong as Metz. Four French Iroa-clads are in the port of Forbay, and another at Brixham, coaling. The news this afternoon is more warlike, and there is considerable excitement on stock exchange in consequence ot the rumors current of hostile dispatches from Russia. The Moscow papers are lees insolent and con fident than those at Petersburg. The Duke of Cleveland writes to the Time a arguing against war with Russia. He says that England is without ah army lor foreign service, and without allies except Austria and Turkey, both ot whom are bankrupt. 350. Two hundred and fifty years ago, a Dutch man-of-war entered the American Colony and landed about twenty negro slaves, which were purchased by the planters. This wsa the begin ning of negro slavery in America, and which continued to increase until tbe Declaration of Independence, 1776, and was recognized by the colonies and by the United States Government as private and personal property in the States of tbe American Union of States until 1865, when the Radical party having the control of the Government by force of arms, and by their unconstitutional laws declared the negroes to be tree, without compensation to their owners in violation of the Constitution and of all right and decency. This same Radical party, not content with haviDg taken private property without just compensation to the citizen and owner, being bent upon their wicked purpose and hellish design, did in their unconstitutional “ so-called ” reconstruction acta confer the privilege upon the negro to vote and to bold office, thereby establishing negro supremacy in several of the Southern States of thia Union over the white race, and all for the purpose of degrading a noble, brave and gallant white race of people as ever lived in thia or any orher country. Against this hellish and an warranted conduct of the Radical party, the National Demo cratic party stands pledged as a white man’s party to oppose before the American people, and to do all in their power to change the present state of things. It is anti-Democratic to confer upon the negro any political privileges whatsoever, and we have no political fellowship for those who are willing to confer the privilege. We are willing that the negro shonld enjoy his freedom, such as it is, and to afford protection to their person and property, but are not willing to give them any political privileges whatever. Let the lints be distinctly drawn on thia sub ject, and tbe issue made so that none can possi bly be deceived or misled. The Democratic party is not a mixed blood party, but it is a white man’s party, a party for constitutional liberty, and it will continue to strive until the Government of our Fathers shall have been restored to its original object and purpose, and tbe blessing of liberty handed down to posterity. When shall the New Congresb Meet ?— The general impression seems to be that at the next session of Congress, which begins the first Monday in December, the act compelling each new Congress to organize on the 4th March, in stead ot the 1st Monday in December, will be repeated. There is a difficulty in the way of the proper organization ot tbe House of Repre sentatives, from the fact that several of tbe States do not bold elections for Congress until early in the spring. Ot course these States are unrepresented in the new House ; that ia, in case the organization is effected on the 4th of March, instead of the first Monday in Decem ber following. The Philadelphia Preaa, one of Forney’s “ two papers, both daily * gives the reason for the proposed ection: “ There seems to be a general disposition to repeal tbe act ot Congress which provides tor the organization of the new House of Rep resentatives immediately after the adjournment ot the old one It was passed to anticipate and correct some of Andrew Johnson’s aggressions, and as several States will have to vote in tbe spring and antnmn before the new House is full, the order of things had better be restored.”— bashuUe Union d American. The Negro Left Out.—The regular Radi cals of Hannibal treated their friends, tbe ne groes, rather shabbily. There waa one negro on tbe township ticket, Braxton for constable ; but while all the white men on the Radical township ticket were elected, with the exception of two who fell short seven votes in each case, Braxton waa defeated by 256 votes While the negroes were electing the whit* Radicals, the white Radicals were beating the evident that our colored bretb got the hang ot Missouri politica.- puNiean. Mexico Our dispatches inform us that during the discussion ot extending free zone,: modi ill feeling against the United States was manifested by many members, and it is stated, in casting the final vote, the United States having de manded tbe removal of the free zone, they voted tor its continuance aa an expression of de fiance of the Yankee nation. Thus itwill be seen that our Mexican neigh bors entertain no 'good will for the nation that once whipped them, and then helped them EVENING DISPATCHES. i WASHINGTON. Washington, November 23.—Sherman has gone to Cleveland, and will return on Saturday. All claims to be adjudicated by the Mexican commission which woe not filed prior to Feb ruary 1st, 1869, will be rejected under this rule. Two cases have already been rejected. A number of troops have been ordered to Georgia to aid in enforcing the execution ot the Congressional Election law in that State, at the approaching election. Ulanta will be the point ot distribution. NEW YORK, II Buffalo, November 23.—The Treasury Agent is in charge 9 ' Collector Rodney W. Daniel’s office. Daniel is charged with having used custom funds for private business. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia, November 23.—The Penn sylvania Railroad Company have guaranteed bonds for building four iron steamers for a line hence to Liverpool. NORTH CAROLINA. Raleigh, November 23.—Tbe memorial ob servances in honor of General Robert E. Lee, were celebrated to-day, according to the pub lished programme. The procession was formed at the executive mansion, with music. The chief marshal and assistants were soldiers of the late Confederate States army and the Cler gy. Eulogist, ex-Governor B. B. Vance. The State officials, members of both houses of the Legislature, city officials. Masonic fraternity, Odd Fellows, Friends, Temperance, and Fire companies, Sunday Schools and citizens, all, turned out. The flag over tbe capital was half- mast by a resolution of each house of the Leg islature, which adjourned to participate in the solemnities. Bells were tolled daring tbe move ment ot the procession; business generally, suspended; stores and private houses arrayed in the insignia ot mourning. The turn out of citi zens was unusually large and the whole popula tion seemed to have participated in the solemni ties. Tucker Hall was crowded to its utmost capacity—about twelve hundred filling seats— while a far larger number were unable to ob tain admittance. A poem by Mrs. Downing was most beautilully read by Major Seaton Gales, and the oration by Gov. Vance was sur passingly elegant and most appropriate to the •abject and occasion. The whole ceremonial was a fitting tribute to tbe memory oi a great Boldier and a good man. FOREIGN. London, November 23.—Late Calcutta ad vices announce that threatened Russian com plications completely prostrated business. The market is overstocked with Manchester goods, and heavy losses are expected. The war office distinctly contradicts the monarch reception reply from Russia. The annexation of Bavaria to North Ger many is imminent. The annexation treaty with Wurtemhurg was signed to-day. All foreigners, including neutrals, are forbid den to leave Paris. The Prussians had already forbidden them to pass the Prussian lines. On the 13th inst, the sharpshooters in Gen. Trochu’s army made a sortie from Paris, as far as Champaigny, three miles southeast ot Vin cennes. At that point, a large body ol Prus sians were dislodged, and stores collected there were destroyed. The Parisians returned to camp wiihout serious loss. Rumors are iu circulation that renewed efforts for an armistice has been made lately. It is reported here to-day that Turkey, for the sake of peace, is anxious to have the Black sea opened. Official statements received from Vienna to day deny that Austria bas proposed a confer ence relative to the Eastern question. It is also denied that Italy declines to co-operate with England and Austria for the enforcement ol the provisions of the Paris treaty. The Times has a special from Constantinople that tbe Sultan invokes the interposition of guaranteeing parties. The Morning Pott has information confirm ing the report that Italy will act in concert with England and Austria. Toubs, November 23.—Bourbaki arrived last night A great battle is imminent. The de sign appears to be to press the enemy’b centre at Elamps by a column of 150,000 men moving from Angreiville, while a simultaneous attack will be made all along his extended line. make to us was her naval stations at Jamaica, Nassau sad Bermuda; did not ask Canada; would be willing to let the people settle their destinies by a vote; Butler spoke ol the tempta tion to mak6 war on England; it would unite the whole country; it would be a war upon the ocean, not expensive, and would give us Cana da, and as a Republican and p&rtizan he would say war—it would perpetuate the Republican party lor three generations. Florence, November 22.—Partial returns warrant the statement that the Government is sustained by an immense majority. London, November 22.—The feeling to-day on the Eastern question is healthier. Confidence in a good part is restored in money circles. Bal oon dates from Paris, midnight, report things tr&nquiL Flourens has been arrested for participation in riots. Tbe meat rations have been limited to fifty grammes daily. Horseflesh and vegetables are still abundant. All unmarried men between twenty and thirty-five yeare, are to be enrolled in the national guards. The Luxemburg Echo says the French tireurs were successful against the German uhlans near the border. Over 1,000 uhlans were driven izito Luxemberg and disarmed. Leaves ot absence are cancelled. The guards are ordered to prepare for active service. Washington, November 22.—Advices from Mexico say that the conditions tacked on the Tehuantepec railroad bill were such as to ren der the concession nominally worthless. Juarez returned the bill to Congress with certain observations, and it is believed that the measure will pass in an acceptable shape soon. A gunsmith in Puebla now manufactures the Remington gun. Sonora will pay three hundred dollars in fu ture for every Indian scalp, instead of two hun dred dollars. Reports to Census Bureau, from 200 counties, show an increase in the negro population. All places ot public business close Thursday. The Supreme Court adjourns from to-morrow Monday. A dispatch to* the Navy Department from Key West, announces the killing of Chief-Engi neer Kellogg, or the Terror, by Surgeon King, of the Dictator, in a fracas ou shore. The President has completed his message. The census reports from Wilmington, N. C., shows a population of 13,475 against 9,552 In the city. Commodore Vanderbilt and others, represent ing the New York Central Railroad had a con sultation with the Revenue Commissioner upon the subject ot taxation on the dividends ot that road. The collection of tax has been postponed until January, to await the presentation ol figures from the company. New York, November 22 —All the Baton Rouge riot prisoners have been admitted to bail except H. 8. Williams, Lawrence Williams, Scott Gordon, Frank Loux, Richard Loux, and Charles Hubbs, whom tbe court considered had been identified with shooting through the win dow of the court house, whereby Harry Wil liams, colored, was killed. About twenty wit nesses lor the prosecution will be to examine. The trial will probably last another week. Montgomery, November 22.—The Senate met to-day and organized. The House will be fully organized to-day and the vote of the State will probably be counted Friday or Saturday, and the new officers en- stalled. Raleigh, November 22.—The Legislature organized yesterday. Hon. T. J. Jarvis, of Tyrell, was elected Speaker. All offices are filled by Democrats. To-day the Governor’s message was read. It is a voluminous docu ment, presenting no features. London, November 22—The Shipping Gazette mentions that French products, fabrics, wines, &c., may be bought now in France at fabulously low prices, owing to the war and the paralyza- tion of commerce. Odo Russell dined with the Crown Prince ol Prussia on Sunday. Parties have arrived at Versailles lately on a hopeless mission to effect an armistice. Earl Russell urges this as an emergency, aud is requiring tbe ministers to call out and organize tbe militia. The Paris Constitutional says that Russia errs in thinking that the neutrality of the Black sea is a Napoleonic idea It Is a traditional policy of France. A special telegram to the Times, this morn ing, from Berlin, says: Russia is seeking to prove that the story of her buying an American fleet to serve as a black sea squadron is untrue. Her language is pacific. Prussia, It is expected, will sustain a peaceful solution of tbe question between Russia and the other powers relative to the Paris treaty of 1856. The Morning Post officially denies that Bis marck repudiates the existence of an under standing witn Russia about the Euxuine ques tion. Luxemberg, November 22.—The bombard ment of Thionville by the Prussians was very active to-day. Shots average about eighteen per minute. The cannonade was very dis tinctly heard here. New York, November 22.—The Northern Transportation Company suspended payment this afternoon. Liabilities $400,000. Arrange ments are negotiating which will probably enable them to resume business. Prominent German houses in the cloth trade failed to-day. Special to the World, from London, says: The belief on Downing street is that Russia, in deference to the nnited opinion of the Great Powers, will withdraw pretensions advanced by Gortechakofl’s note, and expresses her willing ness to refer the question at issue to a confer ence, which will not be summoned until alter the termination of the present war. It is believed in the same quarter that Itaiy will ultimately join Austria and England in resisting Russia. There is no truth in the report that Turkey is negotiating with Russia In regard to an armis tice between the French and Germans. A Paris letter dated the 14tb, by balloon, reports the city quiet, and perfect order prevails. Ample provisions for three months. There has been no great engagements lately. Great events are expected within a few days. Municipal Elections, | In Augusta, says the Constitutionalist, one of the grand schemes of the Destructionista lets it out that they will make no nomination for Mayor, but will make desperate efforts to carry the fourth ward. In this city after Mr. Kim ball’s letter announcing that he could not con sent to become a candidate for the Mayoralty was received, the Republicans have nomina ted Mr. Wm. Markham, who opposed Judge Ezzard and was defeated in the last election for Mayor ot this city. ' NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ) „ “•* 0.f MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES. INDIANA. Indianapolis, November 23 — At the Emi gration Convention, Col. A T. Shaw, of Mem phis, was elected temporary chairman, who made a speech. A committee on credentials waa appointed, and a resolution adopted in viting all Governors of States, and Senators and Representatives in Congress, to take part in the deliberations. The call showed the following Southern States present: Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee, and West Virginia. WASHINGTON. Washington, November 23.—Butler, in his speech at Boston, said: The work of the Re publican party being accomplished, the party will split on side issues; claims that the Demo cratic party is equally divided. England shonid be brought to immediate account; it would be cowardly to press her when involved in war; blames the Democratic party for defeating valu able West India acquisitions, notwithstanding its time-honored desire for the acquisition of Cuba; suggests non-intercourse with Great Tbe Negro to be Thrown Overboard. The Washington correspondent of the Balti more Gazette thinks that the administration will henceforth meet the enfranchisement of white men fairly and tally in future election contests, and oppose all efforts to put the white man on an equality with the negro. This version of the Grant policy is in the main correct, pro scription and centralism being its principal fea tures. But the American people are becoming tired of the old hobbies of slavery and seces sion; issues that are acknowledged dead by their former supporters, and in the result ot the late elections, that very people have rebuked the administration in a manner which it should not fail to heed, and have declared for the advance ment of a policy, looking to general amnesty and the material prosperity of the whole American people. Wabhing- destroy MaTimifiinn, who would probably have governed them much better than they have ever Britain as the best means of bringing her to been able to govern themselves. I terms; tbe reparation which England should New Democratic Pater at ton.—It has been for some time a matter of re gret that the Democratic party had not an able journal at the Federal capital. Thia want is now supplied by the establishment, under favor able auspices, ot a new paper called 1 he Daily Patriot, edited by James E. Harvey, former Minister to Portugal; previously a veteran jour nalist. Mr. Harvey has many eminent qulifi- cations for bearding the Republican administra tion in its den. He has a wide and various ac quaintance with American politics; is “hack neyed in the ways of men” at Washington, knowing all the windings and turnings of pub lic life at that seat of intrigue and legislation ; is a char, forcible writer; an excellent judge ol the value of news. So far as we can judge from the first lew numbers, the Patriot deserves great success. It is a good newspaper, and its editorial columns bear witness that it has sub sidized some ot the most enlightened publicists and most vigorous and graceful pens in the country. We cordially greet our new co-laborer with a fraternal welcome.—N. T. Herald. The franking privilege is to be ventilated again at the next session of Congress. The Postmaster General is preparing evidence to show what a waste ol transportation and space is chargeable to the privilege members of the Government have ot sending their letters, soiled linen, books and bulkier parcels tree of postage. It would appear that they use the mails as if they were humanitarian express companies.— Nashville Union i£ American. A Foreign correspondent thus epitomizes the present condition ot Francei “Constant drill— no tiade. No army for want of an organizer— no leading men. Plenty of idlers—no activity. A multitude of uniforms—no soldiers. Intense excitement, national songs, marching, drum ming, telegrams full oi lies.” Tournament.—The championship has been decided, and yesterday atteruoon, our gallant young townsman, Mr. J. C. Allen, wore ofl the laurels, having won the $600 horse. Mr. A. represented Rob Roy. Wm. H. Styles, repre senting Knight of Oartersville, second prize horse, $200. Jas. Aycock, representing Knight of Euharlee, third prize, saddle and bridle val ued at $50. Mr. Styles, fourth prize, best horse man, pair spurs, valued at $25; and Mr. Dob son ot Bartow, complimented for horsemanship. The greatest harmony and good feeling char acterized the Kniglits in the contest and good order preserved generally. All pa«3ed off splendidly. The Knights returned their thanks to Mr. Kimball for having the track in such fa vorable condition. Atlanta, Ga , Ootober Kth, 1870. TO Whom it may Concern; - _ By an Act or the General Assembly of the SJata ol Georgia, approved October 84,1870, authority Is given to the Governor to lease the Western and Atlantic Railroad, the property ol the State, together with all of Its houses, workshops, depots, rolling stock snd appar- teaauees of eTery character, for the term ol twenty years, upon certain terms, and subject to certain restrictions therein named, to-wlt: The monthly rental shall not be less than twenty-five thousand dollars (f25,000) payable monthly. The lessees shall give a bond (or the snm of eight million of dol lars (|S,000,000) to securing the prompt payment of the amount of rental agreed upon, and for the return of the road and its appurtenances] at the expiration ot the '■ i or foueitore.thereof. lease, or on the termination in as good condition as at the time of leasing, five mi!- tons (5.000,000) of which security shall be within this State and tbe balance. It ont ' reel estate or railroad prop worth over and above their indebtedness, i hundred thousand dollars (5500.000.) The Legislature reserves to itself Ihe right, from time to time, to examine into the affairs of the lessees, and to require that the amount of security a bover eel ted shall be maintained unimpaired. The lessees shall not be Itss than seven in number, a majority of whom ehall have been for five years bona fide residents of this State, and shall represent a ma jority of the whole interest in the lease. No railroad or express company, cr any combination of them, ehall in any event, become the lessees, but they may become lei ' ’ _. . . . Police Court.—His Honor held his usual levee yesterday morning—but a slim attendance present. The return ol sunshiue seems to con duce to the sobriety of that class of our popula tion who generally attend the Mayor’s Court. Wm. Atkins, according to his own testimony, took cross drinks, and got gloriously drunk, &c. Wm. was prevailed upon to respond $5 worth, received a good temperance iecture and retired. Next in turn came Rachael Thrasher, Nancy T., Fannie T., and Mr. Ed. Taylor, colored, con stituting a part of that particular Thrasher fami ly. Charge—Disorderly, prolane language, 4c. Ad valorem fines were imposed, and they, too, charged to practice patience and temperance and live in harmony. Novel Kind of Babies.—Yesterday while passing down the street in our naturally unob- trusive’and modest manner, our attention was suddenly attracted to a small baby wagon from whence emanated a series cf unearthly squalls, occasionally, varied by the introduction of the very characteristic cry of the little ones when everything is not going on right. Approaching near to the dear thing (?) it was observed to be in a violent state ot feelings (judging, too, from what we had heard) kicking and knocking its tiny little hands and teet up and down, around permiscuously—all the while exercising its lungs to their utmost, aud the nurse’s alarm. Now, we feel a tender regard aud much solicitude for th^it iDuocent little insti'ution—babies—and no> withstanding perfect not ices in the manner in which they are iotehed up, yet we irresistably approached to learu the cause of the furor.— Imagine our surprise aud chagrin upon discov ering it to be nothing more than a new style doll, fixed in the aloresaid wagon, and supplied with the aforesaid lungs, besides, musical instru ments, and kicking appratus generally, which was made to perform all the above described wonders simply by the evolution o? the wheels. As it was gently carted up the street its voice was somewhat modulated and it soon passed out of hearing, singing — Zo-on-o-graphs, Alabama street. Chapman Sisters.—Last night the popular Burlesque, Pluto, was presented. Miss Blanche Chapman sustained the part ot Orpheus admira bly, her usual grace of manner wa3 well set ofi by handsome costumes,and her bright eyes never failed to attract the attention of the audience. "Little Ella” has grown apparently since her last visit to our city, but though a year older, she has lost none of that childlike innocence of expression which, when lit up by highly intel lectual expressions caused her to be much ad mired. She played the part of Aristaue3, a swell of the Period, splendidly, and was the recipient of marked attention and applause from the audi ence. The whole company is meritorious and well worthy to support the Sisters, who move about the stage as acknowledged stars of considerable lustre. Bishop was there—yes, and everybody who saw him, well remembers his mirth-provoking countenance. Clotilda was his character, and had the orig inal been there she would not have known Bishop from herself. In the farce he was Mr. Bobtail, and did as we have olteu heard “beat Bobtail” or any body else, that ever sustained that charac ter. Meears. Wallace and Wood, with their splendid and varied musical talent contributed largely to the success of the evening’s enter tainment, and are worthy of special mention.
