Some of the Massachusetts Radi
cals are so intent on making out a
case against Attorney General Dev
ens, that they have written to Thos,
Simms (now living in Nashville,
Tenn.) to go to Boston and give his
statement concerning the famous
“fugitive slave” case in that city
which caused so much excitement
twenty years ago. Simms was the
fugitive, and Devens was the United

declined to go to Boston for such a

ert Battey, of Rome, President of the
Association, opened the meeting
with an address. Several invitations
to the Association to visit various
places were received. Home enter
taining reports and papers were read.
The annual oration was to have been
delivered by Di. V. H. Taliaferro
yesterday.
An amendment of the Constitution
relative to the municipal government
of oities of over 100,000 inhabitants is
pending in the Legislature of Now
York. Should it be adopted, it will
practically disfranchise nearly half
the voters of New York city and
Brooklyn in their municipal elec
tion. It provides that in such cities
Boards of Finance to control appro
priations and expenditures shall be
chosen by electors, who for two years
preceding the election have paid
an annual tax on property owned by
them of an assessed value of not less
than SSOO, or have actually paid du
ring the same period a yearly rent of
not lose than $.250 for premises oc
cupied by them for a residence or a
lawful business.
It would seem that the Secretary
of the Treasury is not seriously
alarmed by the bank report of “a
glut of silver” in the country, for a
Washington dispatch of the 15th says
that for the purpose of bringing sil
ver coin into the more general use,
the Treasury Department has sus
pended the issue of onedoilar bills in
sums of over ten dollars for the
present, and the Treasury will here
after, lu the retirement of legal ten
ders, coniine itself to the smallest
denominations as far as practicable.
Satisfaction of all drafts on the
Treasury, when change under five
dollars is required,in their payment,
is now being made,and will continue
to be made, in silver coin.
A sfecul of the lGtta from Wash
ington to the Charleston Journal of
Commerce says that President Hayes
has countermanded President Grant's
order for the employment of Federal
troops in the collection of internal
revenue and enforcing the Jaws
against iilioit distilling. The dis
patch says that the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue beoame con
vinced that it did not comport with
the principles of a Republican Gov
ernment to use the army to collect
the taxes; so he issued a circular to
collectors of-revenue in whose dis
triets troops were stationed, notify
ing them that in consequence of
Congress having appropriated $40,-
000 for the purpose of breaking up
illicit distillation in the States above
named, the United States troops
would no longer be employed for
this purpose, but, instead, an in
creased number of deputy collectors
would be allowed for this purpose.
So the troops have been again with
drawn.
•■How tell u ell ebout the wr,
And what they fight each other for."
The perplexity of little Peterkln and
Wllhelmine about the battle of Blen
heim and what it was fought for,
was not greater than that of
many of our people about the im
ptmdlog war in Euroiw. Though
they have been readiog the volumi
nous telegraphic dispatches of the
last iix months, and have, wo sup
pose, kept the run of the negotia
tions, conferences, armistices, proto
cols, &c., they still do not understand
what the Turks and the Russians are
going to fight about, and we arc asked
to explain.
It is really another of the religious
wars that have, at different times, so
deluged the earth in blood, so demor
alized nations und races, and so
turnod back the march of civilization
and progress, as to mar even the ho
liest of causes and make humanity
weep for its own brutality. Turkey
occupies a critical position in Eu
rope. With a Mnhommedan govern-
and established religion, she
has in her politioai domain several
principalities in which the prevailing
religion is that of the Christian or
Greek church, with an admixture of
Catholics, and these principalities
sustain the anomalous relation of
political subjects of Turkey, while
they look to Russia and Austria
(especially to Russia) as their pro
tectors in religious matters. Russia,
no doubt, adds to her religious sym
pathy designs of political conquest
and extension of her territory. She
is accused of continually stirring up
dissensions and troubles in the
Christian provinces # of Turkey, and
secretly assisting them in all their
eonilicts with the Government at
Constantinople. In the now suspen
ded Servian war, Russians really as
sumed the leadership and prolonged
tiie contest, without any declaration
of war Russia and Turkey
and without even a suspension of
their diplomatic relations,
Tho war hud its ineipiency in Her
zegovinian, Montenegrin and Ser
vian demands for reforms in their
local administration —greater free
dom- to govern themselves—and re
ligious incompatibilities were the
foundation for these domands. Rus
sia encouraged them in these de
mands, if she did not incite them to
make them. The principalities mak
ing them were contiguous to Austria,
and Austria, knowing that Russia
would be the gainer (in influence and
sympathy at least) by any concessions
which they might extort from Tur
key by force, exerted herself moat
strenuously to effect an ad
justment and maintain peace. At
one time, several months ago, it
looked as if her plan of settlement
would be successful, and it is believ
ed by many that it would have suc
ceeded but for the coarse of England.
England would not then join in the
"demands” made upon Turkey by
the other powers, and this encour
aged the Porte in a refusal to accept
them. While the Andrassy plan was
still pending, the ‘‘Bulgarian atroci
ties” occurred—the infuriated Turks
slaughtering tho Christians and de
stroying their property. This pro
duced considerable change in public
sentiment, particularly in England,
and iiually foroed the latter to concur
in signing a "protocol” which would
virtually take out of tho hands of
Turkey the government of some of
her own principalities and vest it in
"the powers.” It was not pro
posed in such a positive manner
as to bind the powers to its enforce
ment, but Russia, who was all the
time the champion of the revolted
principalities, made its acceptance a
sine qua non of continued peaceful!?)
relations with Turkey; and the
oonsequonce is that Russia appears
about to "go it alone” in forcing
Turkey to terms.
Should Russia invade Turkey
in Europe, the pussugo of the
Dauubo will be the first notable
movement, and after that the Rus
sian troops will doubtless aim to
crosß the Balkan mountains and car
ry the war into Roumalia. At the
mountain passes the Turks would no
doubt make their decisive fights.
Overcome there, thoy could hardly
make another stubborn stand until
besieged in Constantinople. And
when the war progresses to this ex
tremity, or threatens to reach it, tho
question of the armed, interposition
of other powers to prevent Russian
oonqnest will be a very serious one.
The reader of comiug reports of
the war should not confound liouma
nia with Roumalia. Roumania is
a little kingdom adjoining southern
Russia in Europe, and is composed
of two late principalities of Turkey,
viz: Moldavia and Wailachia. The
Danube near its mouth runs through
its territory, and it lies between Rus
sia and Turkey. Until quite a re
cent period these too principalities
held the same relations with Tur
key that Montenegro and Her
zegovina now do; but on ac
count chiefly of religious differences
they were made more independent,
and we believe that if they now have
any politioai relations whatever with
Turkey, they are nominal only. All
their sympathies are with Russia,
and they will not refuse her any facil
ities for prosecuting a war with
'Turkey. Roumalia is a large
province of Turkey south of the
Balkan range, and is mostly Mahom
medan in its religion and firm In its
allegiance to Turkey,though it too has
some Christians.

Urnrral CMtla l.re nties for Arlington.
From the AloiandrU fldaatt®, lath.)
We understand that Oeneral G. W.
Custis Lee has instituted a suit of
ejectment for the recovery ot the
Arlington estate (lu the couuty of
Alexandria and State of Virginia,)
devised to him by hie grandrather.
G. W. Parke Custis. When the facts
which have induced this action on
the part of General Lee shall become
known we are convinced that it will
not subject him to the slightest cen
sure by any honest or right thinking
man in the country.
The Tacts are, in part, these, as
from the brief nature of this notice
it is Jimpossibia to give all the leadiug
points.
Under the several acts of Congress
for the collection of direct taxes in
tho insurrectionary States tho tract
of land called “Arlington,” contain
ing about eleven hundred acres, was
sold to pay a tax of $92.07, with
which it had been assessed. The
sale was made on the 11th day of
January, 1864, and the property was
bid into the Government of the
United States for the sum of $26,800.
No portion of tho purchase money
was paid, as it would have been
an idle ceremony for the Govern
ment to have paid the amount into
Its own Treasury. The Government
immediately took possession of the
property, and claims to be the owner
thereof by virtue of its purchase at
the tax sale.
In the opinion of eminent counsel,
the act of Congress, under which this
salo was made, is utterly unconstitu
tional, and the sale consequently
void. But, even had the law been
constitutional, the sale, on various
grounds, was invalid under decisions
of the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Under these decisions, all the own
ers of real estate, in the city and
county of Alexandria, who have sued
have recovered their property. Gen.
Lee,.himself, has recovered (from the
war purchaser,) the Washington
Forest estate.
The Arlington estate was given by
the will or G. W. Parke Custis to
Mrs. Mary A. R. Leo, his only child,
during her natural life, and upon her
death it was devised to his eldest
granson, G. W. Custis Lee.
Tiie mansion was vacated at the
commencement of the late civil war,
as Mrs. Robert E. Lee followed the
fortunes of her husband iu the South.
After peace was declared, it was
not doubted that the Government,
would be willing to pay a reasonable
price for the property, and that it
would acorn to retain eleven hundred
acres of land in full sight of the Na
tional Capitol, seized for the petty
sutn of $92.07.
But in tDese expectations the par
ties entitled to the property have
been sadly disappointed. Or. the
22d of January, 1872, the petition of
Mrs. Mary A. R, Lee was presented
to the United States Senate, asking
Congress not to deliver to her pos
session of the Arlington tract of land
(in which, by the will of her hither,
she had a life estate,) but to make
an appropriation in payment of the
property.
The petition stated the various
grounds on which it was supposed
the Government had no valid claim,
legal or equitable.
On behulf of herself and son, G. W.
C. Lee (the owner of the reversion,)
Mrs. Lee offered to execute all neces
sary reloases and conveyances to
validate the title of the Government.
No action, however, could be obtain
ed on this petition, aud it was per
mitted to linger in tho files of the
Senate uutil the death of Mrs. Lee,
which occurred ou the sth of Novem
ber, 1873.
On the Gth of April, 1874, tho peti
tion of G, W. G. Lee was presented
to the United States Senate, refer
red to the Judiciary Committee, and
ordered to be printed. It presents
all the facts connected with the sale
of Arlington, expresses an earnest de
sire to avoid litigation, and a willing
ness to release to the United States
Government his title to the estate
upon receiving a just compensation
for the same.
Regardless of the earnest efforts of
Senator Johnston, of Virginia, no
action could be obtained in the Sen
ate on this petition, and it yet re
mains pigeon-holed in the archives
of that honorable body.
In order to present the application
before Congress in a form which it
was supposed would satisfy the most
determined opponents of the meas
ure, Senator Johnston offered a bill
to the Senate giving jurisdiction to
the Court of Claims to decide on the
title of Arlington, and likewise to de
termine the value of tho property,
with the right of appeal to the Su
preme Court of the United States.
Thus guarded, iu submitting the
matter to two Courts of the United
States, it was supposedithat the bill
would pass without difficulty. This
expectation again proved delusive.
The bill shared no better fate than
the petition, and remains a dead let
ter in the Senates. Failing to meet
or recognize the offers of Mrs. Lee
and Gen. Lee to receive a fair com
pensation for Arlington, the amount
to be ascertained by its own Courts,
the Government of the United States
seems determined to hold by mere
force this estate, iu violation of right,
justice, and legal-precedent.
In the face, then, of the decisions
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, and denied for years the re
lief to which the humblest citizen
in the land is entitled, the owner of
Arlington has been forced to insti
tute a suit for its recovery.
It is alone by pursuing this course
that he can protect himself from
enormous loss resulting from the un
lawful seizure and wrongful holding
of the same.
Notioe of the suit was served to
day upon the officers in charge of
Arlington aud Fort Whipple, and
upon the other occupants of the
estaie.
As this suit will be liable to great
criticism and possiblejmisrepresenta
tion, we publish the above statement
of the facts that induced the com
mencement of the legal proceedings.
Gen. Butler lias a reputation for
surprising political feats, and the
New York Sun thinks that he is
going to astonish the country again,
when Congress meets, by his antag
onism to the administration. It says,
in an editorial of the 16th inst.:
"Gen. Butler will, no doubt, contend that
when the House abdicated iu favor of Joe
Bradley it sacrificed the constitutional
powers and privileges of the representa
tives of the people, which are roost essen
tial to the preservation of civil liberty,
and he will probably deem it a paramount
duty to recover those privileges and to
right that wrong. His opinion of the
Louisiana election frauds may be inferred
from his course on the impeachment of
the infamous Dureil, and this together
"th his proverbial jealousy of the rights
of the House, furnishes a pretty conclu
sive indication of the future. But Butler
. . ® another kind of blow from that
fl RI , oe ’ *, 1C lay the axe to the root
of tne fraud, while Blaine is hacking* at
the branches.’'
There is no doubt that Butler is
correct in the proposition first stated,
but how he is going about it to re
cover the privileges of the House
and to right the wrong committed by
entrusting the decision of the Presi
dential election to the Electoral Com
mission, is what puzzles us.
A MKNAUKIUE IN TIIE WATKH.
HOW THE TIDE CAME WEAK HWEEFINO
CIUCUB ANIMALS OCT TO SEA.
The Charleston paper* have this
account of another thrilling scene in
circus annals:
The long circus train arrived from
Florence at daylight yesterday morn
ing during the height of the storm.
When they arrived at the Northeast
ern depot, the water was over the
track. One of the trains passed
safely into the depot, but the other
containing the cages of animals and
elephants stopjied on account of the
fire in the engines being put out by
the high water.
The sea was beating against the
cars, und at one time things looked
rather “roeky.” There was but one
alternative, and the animals were
growing more and more restless as
each wave dasned against their bar
red dens, and that was for the men
to plunge in and push the cars over
the rough place. Mr. Barnum, the
general manager, took in the situa
tion at a glance, und being unwilling
to order the men where he himself
would not go, was the first to plunge
in. The water struck him about the
neck, but he called for volunteers,
and soon one hundred men were in
the water, plunging and snorting
likoso many porpoises. Each car
was successfully pushed into the
depot without further mishap than a
thorough wetting of the men.
In unloading the cars the men had
to work in water up to their waists,
and it is stated on the authority of a
reliable clown that this circumstance
was the cause of the loss of the $lO,-
000 walrus. He says that this large
beast of the sea was kept in a large
open vat half full of water, and in
taking the vat out of the box car it
was accidentally tilted on the side,
and the monster falling into the
water, and finding himself in a
boundless expanse of his native ele
ment, made a dash through the
crowd of rnen, and before they had
time to think was safe on his way to
the ocean.

THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA RKEACUI.NG
A NIGHT SEHMON AT THE NEGRO
church.
On Sunday niglit a Constitution re
porter met u number of negroes hurrying
through the streets. Asking the cause of
the scurry, he was informed that “de gov
ernor was a gwine to preach” a sermon
that night to the negroes at their leading
church on Wheat street.
Joining in the crowd, we soon reached
the church,and touud there an immense
mass oi well-dressed colored people pour
ing in atthochurch doors. A number of
officious ushers divided the crowd at the
doors, and pushed the fragments rather
indiscriminately into the open, straight
backed pews. "A tew white people occu
pied seats in front ot the house.
In the pulpit was the noble and benign
face of the Governor of the empire Slate
of the South. After the preliminary ser
vices were over, the Governor arose, and,
for an hour, talked to the attentive mass
of negroes in an earnest, homely and sin
cere way. He took his text from the first
gospel, and discussed the parables. The
negroes eagerly drank in every word that
he said, and seemed very grateful to him
for his comiug to talk to them.
The little incident is one that might be
considered with instructive results by
those northern fanatics who stilll affect
to believe that the negro receives no kind
ness or advice at the south. Governor
Colquitt was elected by 81,000 majority,
Georgia is overwhelmingly democratic
Site will never need the negro’s vote.
What she has done for them, and what
she continues to do, springs from a sense
ot right and justice.— Atlanta. Constitu
tion, 18th.
We learu from tho Constitution that
snow fell to the depth of two aud
one-half inches at Porter Springs,
Lumpkin county, last Friday and
Friday night.
Sir. F, ,T. Frazer, of this place, re
ceived a letter from a noted cotton
planter of Lavacca county, Texas,
stating that the gassphoppers had de
stroyed everything that was green
both in the woods and on the prairies.
The couutry looked as if it had been
burned by fire ; cattle were dying for
want of something to eat, and, al
though spring had set in early there,
everything looked more blank than
in winter. He concluded by saying:
"If you have any friends who con
template coining to Texas, advise
them not to come.” Another gen
tleman who had received a peck of
rye, oats, wheat and barley each,
sowed the seed with care. The grain
was up some twelve inches high. At
9 o’clock in the morniug the "hop
pers” began to work upon it. By 10
o’clock the same day uot a spear was
left.—Similar reports have reached
us from other points of that Shite.
A letter received from Washington
county, stated that the "hoppers”
were numerous enough—although at
that time they were little larger than
the common house-tty— to destroy
the grain and other crops as fast as
thoy came out of the ground.— Union
Springs Herald.
The London Saturday Review grave
ly says in ttsAmeriean article: There
has not yet been time to test the ca
pacity of the negro race in favorable
circumstances, but sanguine philan
thropists may derive encouragement
from the remarkable progress
which has been achieved under the
disadvantage of slavery. The Kel
loggs aud tne Packards are not, per
haps, satisfactory statesmen, but
they approach much more nearly to
the highest American type than to
the fetish-worshipping savages from
whom they are descended. On their
own continent Africans seem to be
irreclaimable, but after two or three
generations of servitude they begin
to resemble inferior Europeans.
