The City Council of Augusta, affirming
the judgment of the party last named :
W- J. Vason 1 Petition for Certi
vs. 1 orari. Decision
The South Carolina j rendered July 30,
Railroad, and others. J 1870.
The very great number of proofs sub
mitted will not permit me to embody them
in this decision, The facts may be briefly
stated thus: In Washington street, in the
city of Augusta—a street dedicated to pub
lie use for over a half a century—are laid
two bars of iron on the surface of the street,
with no excavations or embankments in
any way obstructing passage across said
street at any place. These two bars of
iron are laid near the centre of the street,
leaaing ample room on either side for th efree
and full passage of the largest conveyances
now in use. Upon those two bars of iron,
along the centre of said street, numerous
trains of cars belonging to the defendants
are conveyed, both by day and by night,
for the transportation of passengers and
freights. Those cars are propelled by
steam, and frequently without due and
proper regard to the li\es of the inhabitants
of said city, and to the great annoyance, in
convenience and damage of complainant and
others. Whether legislative enactment
fully authorizes this act, or acts to lie done
or not, 1 think jt, cannot, be questioned, but
that the municipal authorities ol the city
does, whether wisely or not, the view
which i take ot this proceeding, to abate
the running of said cars as a nuisance, is
not important to consider. Neither do I
deem it of great, importance to consider the
many points of irregularity complained of.
In some of them 1 may concur, yet of not
sufficient importance to send the cause
hack, as there was but one dissenting
Councilman; and if by any means the body
should be reduced below a quorum, no
.aetiou could be taken whatever.
It is not every act done by another that
worketh hurt, inconvenience or damage,
thereby clearly establishing a technical
nuisance that may be abated under the
4024 section of the Code. Your neighbor’s
crying baby (especially if you are a bache
lor), barking dog or lowing cow, often pro
duces great annoyance and inconvenience to
say nothing of the numerous businesses that
are followed and permitted in cities, by
which anuoyance, inconvenience, hurt, aud
even damage is produced to persons aud
their occupations. I will not undertake
here to enumerate, as a statement of the
proposition is sufficient. The action for
nuisance, like that of trespass, is well
known in this country and in England,
and the books abound with precedents,
and equity has often been called to aid by
injunction where irreparable damage was
likely to be sustained. Whether acts which
produce damage and injury be or not a nuis
ance is fuestio facto, and should be deter
mined by a jury, and not questiojum. yet,
when those acts receive Legislature sanc
tion or authority, can a nuisance abatable
under said section be said to exist? In the
case of Rex vs. Pease, 4th Barn and Adol
phus, Parke, J., says: “The legislature
must be presumed to have known that the
railroad would be adjacent for a mileJo
the public highway, and consequently
that travelers upon the highway would be,
sn all probability, incommoded by the pass
age of locomotive engines along the rail
' °That being presumed, there is nothing
unreasonable or inconsistent in supposing
that the Legislature intended that the part
■of the public which should use the high
way should sustain some inconvenience
for the sake of the greater good to be ob
tained by other parts of the public in the
more'speedy traveling and conveyance pf
merchandize along the new railroad. Can
any ®ne say that the public, interests are
unjustly dealt with, when the injury to one
line of communication is compensated by
llie increased benefit of another? By
a majority of the judges it was held,
in the'case of Rex vs. Russell, 6 Barn and
Cress, 566, “ that a nuisance was excusable
on that principle at common law, and
whether that be law or not, at least it is
clear that an express provision of the
Legislature having that effect, cannot be
unreasonable. The same principle is an
nounced by ord, C. J., Tentordon in vol.
Ist of English railway cases, page 549, in
the case of the King vs. Norris, and also
in case of Thicknesse vs. The Lancaster
Canal Company. ’This emphatic language
appears: “ I think, therefore, we must hold
that they were in power to exercise all the
rights they had by the 28d Geo. 2d
and to do all necessary things for the pur
pose of carrying into execution the inten
tion of tbe act. They say further that the
companv must treat with persons who are
tenants in fee, for life, lor years, in severalty,
or in common, and not with persons who
may have the right of way on easements
into or over land; and yet such persons are
entitled to damage sustained by them, &c.,
&c. In the case of Hentz vs. Long Island
Railway 13 Bart., 646 and in 12 Ind. R.,
551-, it was held that a railway passing
through a populous city is not of coarse a
nuisance, and in 7 Bart., 508, it was held
that a railway may use the public streets
for their vehicles by license from the city
authorities, when such use does not unrea
sonably abridge the public use of such
streets for other purposes; and in a case be
fore the Common Pleas in New York, Brady,
J., says: “ I should feel at liberty to deter
mine the use of steam below 42d street by
the company was a nuisance which should
be arrested at once, if there was no act of
the Legislature authorizing it.” And in
cas * of the Lexington and
Ohio Railroad Company against Applegate
and others, in which Guthrie, Morehead and
Crittenden appeared as counsel, Bth Dana,
page 289, the court fully argues the consti
tutional rights of Legislatures, councils
and peoples, and says that both public
policy and a long series of adjudged cases
require that a public improvement so beni
ucent in its general operations and results,
and especially when sanctioned by the
Legislature and the representatives of the
local public, should not be destroyed or sus
pended by the injunction of a chancellor
unless strong reasons for doing It be con
clusively manifested.
The onward spirit of the age most to a
reasonable extent have its way. The law
is made "for the times, and will be made
or modified by them. The expanded and
still expanding genius of the common
law should adapt it here as elsewhere to
the improved and improving condition of
the country. Therefore, railroads and
steam cars, the offsrping-i, as they will also
be the parents, of progressive improvements,
should not, in themselves, be considered
as nuisances, although in ages that are
gone they might have been so held. In
33d Georgia, p. 616, that wise and learned
Judge, C. J. Jenkins, says: “The case is
very different from the layiug of a railway
upon the surface of the street, so that, ex
cept at the instant of the passing of a train
vehicles aud horsemeD, and footmen may
pass freely in and across the street. In
that case the street remains, is open free, in
that case anew use is made of the street
without abridging its. ancient use. This
may fall within the proper range of muni
cipal regulations, and we must not be un
derstood as holding that the grant of such
a privilege would transcend the ppwers of
the Mayor and Aldermen.” I am, then, fully
satisfied that no nui-ance is created by the
running of said cars that cau be abated
under said section of the Code.
I am inclined to the opinion that only
such nuisances as would tend to corrupt
public morals or manners, or that would
tend to generate disease and endanger the
lives of the public, can or ought to be so
summarily abated ; and that for ail other
nuisances the common law right of action
for damages should be used.
The certiorari in this case, on all the
grounds taken, is therefore overruled, and
the judgment of the Mayor and Aldermen
affirmed. Wm. Gibson,

Educational.
In accordance with a call published in
the city papers, a meeting was held at. the
Kollocß Street Baptist Church, on Friday,
July 29, 1870, for the discussion of our
common school system.
On motion of John S. Davidson, Esq.,
Mr. Otis G Lynch was called to the Chair,
and P. F. Dunne requested to act as Secre
tary.
The Chairman stated the object of the
meeting to be to hear an address from Mar
tin V. Calvin, Esq., on the improvement of
our common school system.
Mr. Calvin was then introduced by the
Chairman, and addressed the meeting at
some length, showing the operation of the
present system, pointing out the difficulties
to be encountered by the teachers and the
drawbacks inseparably connected there
with. The speaker then examined the pro
posed system of graded schools, showing
clearly how the evils incident to the former
could have no place in the latter; that this
system could be put into operation with
but slight additional expensfe, whereas the
results would be incomparably greater
than those obtained under our present
system.
Mr. Davidson theu addressed the meet
ing, heartily approving the views advo
cated by Mr. Calvin, hoping that the sub
ject would be brought prominently before
the public, believing that it was only neces
sary to have the proposed change explained
in order to secure for it the hearty ap
proval *f all friends of educational progress
throughout the State. He then offered the
following resolutions, which were adopted;
Resolved, That we, as citizens deeply In
terested in the improvement of our public
schools, do hereby express our hearty en
dorsement of the views presented and the
graded school system urged ip fae address
delivered before us this evening, and that'
wo earnestly commend the same to the
favorable consideration of our fellow-citi
zens of this city and county.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meet
ing that steps should be immediately taken
to secure the inauguration and establish
ment of such a system of graded public
schools, tie great practicability and desira
bility of which lias been demonstrated by
the valuable results accomplished in Savan
nah and Columbus.
Resolved, That we respectfully urge our
fellow-citizens to assemble themselves to
gether in their respective wards and dis
tricts, and express their views on this all
important subject.
Besotted, That we respectfully ’suggest
the holding, at an early day, of a general
meeting of the citizens of this county, for
the purpose of taking such action as may
be necessary to bring the subject before the
Legislature, and to secure the passage of a
suitable local school bill promotlve of these
ends.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting, signed by the Chairman and Secre
tary, be furnished the Constitutionalist
and Chronicle and Sentinel, with a request
for the publication of the same.
On motion, the Chair was authorized to
call a meeting at some future occasion,
giving notice of same through the press.
Meeting, on motion, adjourned.

THE APPROACHING COMMENCEMENT —THE
UNIVERSITY THE HIGH. SCHOOL THE
TOWN, AC.
Athens, July 29.
The commencement season, with its bril
liant throng, its intellectual display, its
gay reunions; and “ glittering generalities,”
is again at hand, and the modern “ scat of
learning and theatre of fashion” is all astir
with preparation for the annual event, to
which all other events are secondary, and
from which they are reckoned. “It was
so-and-so before commencement, or so-and
so after commencementare stereotyped
phrases in the vocabulary of these Athen
ians. The house must be painted before
commencement, the fence whitewashed,
the carriage varnished, the door knob
scoured, Angelina must have anew set of
furniture in her room, because cousin
Flora from Savannah, Augnsta, or Macon
is coming to see her; William Henry wants
anew set, also, but then von know the hoys
can do without; and as for new dresses,
there is no parvenue among the purlieus so
poor as not to have anew outfit, if it is no
more than a sixpenny muslin, for this
grand occasion.
Athens is proud of her commencement,
and well she may be. They have been
eventful occasions, not only in the radiance
they impart to the charming social aspects
of the place, but they have introduced to
the arena of busy life many of the brightest
intellects that have adorned the annals of
the State for over half a century; and the
University now occupies a better position,
and affords a far higher promise of useful
ness and success, than ever before in its
history. Your readers are probably familiar,
through the late admirable report of the
Board of Visitors, or through other publi
cations, with the enlarged, thorough and
comprehensive plan recently adopted, com
bining the University system as well as the
name. The institution is organized into
departments, embracing the preparatory
department, academic department, and pro
fessional schools. The first is the Uni
versity High School, and is located in the
suburbs of the town, above Cobbham. It
is designed for the purpose of training
pupils for the different departments of the
University.
The Academic Departments embrace the
freshman and' sophomore classes, and are
combined into the two departments of Art
and Science, in which degrees are conferred
on certificates proficiency.
The Professional Schools embrace the
schools of Agriculture, Engineering aud
Law, In which degrees are conferred which
carry the title of Graduate of the University.
The duties of instruction in each depart
ment are allotted to the corps of Pro
fessors, embracing sixteen gentlemen of
thorough culture and large experience—the
whole administered with the harmony and
regularity of clock work, by the revered
Chancellor, who, though as genial as a
Summer morning, with a smile and a good
word for all, seems indeed a man of iron—
so much does he accomplish, and so perfect
ly does he control and mould the elements
around him. He brings them all under the
white heat of earnest emulation he knows
so well how to inspire, until the whole In
stitution is aglow with the evidences of his
genius.
The University plan, in which the Chan
cellor takes enthusiastic interest, though
already far In advance of the standard here
tofore maintained by “Old Franklin,” is
but just set oil foot, and has been much re
tarded through lack of means to give the
different schools the facilities which a
thorough University system requires. But
the basis has been laid, and the superstruc
ture is going up. The number of students
is larger than ever before, numbering, in
all departments. 292. Considering the
facilities afforded here for a thorough odti
cation, and especially in view of the disor
ganized state of the Universities of North
and South Carolina and of Alabama, it is
strange that tiie number here is uot larger.
The Commencement Exercises open to
morrow, and I merely sat down to let your
readers know that I am on the ground to
chronicle the events of the next week.
The only inclden' of note that has yet
transpired was the prize declamations last
night, at the University High School, of
which Benj. T. Hunter, A. M., is Presi
dent. The declamations evinced the most
thorough and successful training in elocu
tion, which department is in cltarge of W.
W. Lumpkin, Esq., sou of the late vener
ated Chief Justice. Prizes were awarded
to W. McKinley, of Milledgeville, of Class
A ; to G. D. Thomas, of Athens, of Class
B ; to J. M. Lamar, of Class C; and to all
the members of Class D, who were “ little
fellows,” and so charmed the committee
that they made honors easy among them
all. Their names are J. H. Huggins, R. H.
Lainpkin, J. DeW. Burkhead and VVyuton
Smith. Though sarcastically called, by
the older classes, the “ trundle bed stock,”
they afforded the highest possible evidence
of the results of careful training, which is
the real Deinosthenian road to effective
oratory.
Visitors are coming in freely, and a gay
Commencement is anticipated. Among the
arrivals at the Newton House to-day I
noticed A. W. Reese, Esq., of the Macon
Telegraph, and family.
In a business way Athens makes haste
slowly. An infusion of enterprise and pub
lic spirit, of such earnestness aud devotion
to the affairs of the town, as are observable
in the affairs ol the University, would
make Athens a lively place, both in trade
and manufacturing. Deiightlul climate,
magnificent water power, extensive tribu

active money to make a busy city.

Proceedings of the Georgia State Dental
Society.
FIRST DAY.
Atlanta, July 28, 1870.
The Georgia State Dental Society met
this morning at ten o’clock. There was a
good representation from all the States.
In fact, there were more live dentists
present than at any previous meeting.
Dr. F. Y. Clark, the President, on taking
the chair, called the attention of the Asso
ciation to the importance of securing legal
enactments requiring all practitioners of
dentistry to have a diploma from a Dental
College, or a certificate of qualification
from the Board of Examiners of the So
ciety. While many States had such laws,
Georgia had none. While this has bene
fltted them, we have suffered in a corres
ponding degree. The number of incompe
tent practitioners has been increased by
this means- They go about the country
doing bad work, imposing oq the credulity
of the people, and bringing reproach upon
the profession. The interests of the people
demand that some action should be taken.
The people, as a mass, know nothing of
what the qualifications of a dentist should
be. When their liyeg are in danger by
disease, they try to secure the best medipal
skill; but when their teeth are being de
stroyed by the ravages of decay, they are
satisfied to employ the commonest ignora
mus tyho calls himself a dentist.
After the reception of the reports of
several committees, a very able and inter
esting paper on “Inflammation of the
Gums” was read by Dr. J. P. H. Brown,
of Augnsta. He also exhibited a lower
3 axillary, showing the absorption of the
veolar processes caused by undue pressure
of the teeth. ‘Fhe paper gave rise to a
lengthy discussion.
On motion, the Society adjourned till ten
o’clock to-morrow.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
SIXTEENTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
Friday, July 29, 1870.
SENATE.
The Senate met at 10 o’clock, a. m., pur
suant to adjournment, and was called to
order by President Conley.
Prayer by the Rev. Wesley Prettyman.
The roll was called and the Journal of
yesterday’s proceedings read and approved.
Mr. Smith, of the 7th, offered, as a sub
stitute for the prolongation resolutions,
which have been under consideration for
several days, the following:
Whereas, The constitutional term of
the several officers of this State, including
that of this General Assembly, are necessa
rily dependent upon the time when, under
the several acts of Congress, the constitu
tion goes into operation as the paramount
law freed from military influences, and
Whereas, The acts of Congress of July
15,1870, does not fix the said time, and the
same cannot now be definitely settled until
Congress shall decide by the actual ad
mission of our Senators and Representa
tives ; and,
Whereas, It is unwise further to com
plicate affairs by the election of uew officers
while the period when the State govern
ment, as such under the constitution, be
gins its existence is uncertain ; therefore,
Resolved, That the General Assembly so
shape its legislation that no election shall
lie held for the various officers provided for
by the constitution until Congress, by the
admission of our Senators and Representa
tives, or in some other way shall definitely
determine whether the constitution of this
State is held to go into operation as the
paramount law, in 1868 or in 1870.
Seats on the floor were tendered Messrs.
Jerry Cole and David A. Thornton.
On motion, the time allowed Mr. Wel
born, who was entitled to the floor, was
extended to thirty minutes.
Mr. Welborn, in conclusion of his able
argument, maintained that even if the gov
ernment were provisional, it should be per
petual, and earnestly appealed to Senators
to give their constituents the benefit of a
doubt, and to consider carefully before
adopting such a measure. He moved that
the question be postponed until Monday,
August 15th.
Mr. Merrell rose to discuss the resolu
tions.
Mr. Candler insisted that the motion to
postpone must be first disposed of before
further discussion of the resolutions.
The President ruled that under the mo
tion the merits of the question might still
be considered.
Mr. Merrell continued, supporting the
resolutions at considerable length.
Bradley (colored) opposed the resolution
and insisted that the officers of this State
existed only under the constitution, and
that Congress had admitted the force of
that instrument by allowing those offices
to lie filled, and in the terms of the bill ad
mitting the State, and that the first Legis
lature had no existence, being a revolution
ary body. He said that Congress had ex
pected the question to be referred to the
judiciary, and that he desired such refer
ence. V
Mr. Mathews objected to the resolutions,
not on the ground of unconstitutionality,
bnt from a sense of justice to his constitu
ents who, at the time of his election, ex
pected his term to close this year, and so
voted for him.
Mr. Smith stated that he would vote for
aD election in the Fall out of self-respect,
though doubting its beneficial effects to the
country. He proposed to support his sub
stitute offered this morning, and hoped the
reporters would speak of him as hew is,
and preferred that they should omit his
speech.
Mr. Hinton .-aid that the only question
as yet presented, was whether we are act
ing under the constitution as a legal gov
ernment, or under the reconstruction acts
as provisional only, and that. Senators had
been solemnly sworn to support the former,
whereas, no oath had been administered as
to the latter. Admitting, for argument, that
the Government is provisional, still the
constitution was supreme law, except when !
in conflict with the superior acts of Con- !
gross ; that no act in relation to the subject
had been passed, except the act of July iS;.
1870, which provided that notbingJhSftself
should lie construed to prevent an elCCtiap
according to the constitution, and main
tained that no action whatever is necessary.^
Mr. Speer moved to. adjourn until Mon-,
day. Lost.
On motion of Mr. Harris, the time was
extended until 2 o’clock.
Mr. Highee spoke in opposition to both
the resolutions and the substitute, and de
sired a modification.
Mr. Hungerford thought the whole ques
tion would have to be again discussed on re
consideration, and called for the previous
question.
Mr. Higbee objected to the call as he de
sired tointroducca substitute to modify the
resolutions.
Mr. Candler was convinced that the reso
lutions as now worded should not pass,
and thought that the amendment which
had been proposed had not been fnlly dis
cussed.
Mr. Dunning thought the main question
should lie postponed for a full Senate
A motion was made to adjourn, which
resulted, ayes, 16, nays 16. The chair voted
nay, so the motion was lost.
The vote having been taken the main
question was then put, first on the amend
ment of Mr. Nunnally, to postpone the
matter until the 15th of August.
Ayes—Messrs. Burns, Candler, Dunning,
Fain, Griffin, of the 6th, Hicks, Hinton,
Matthews, McArthur, Nesbitt, Nunnally,
Smith, of the 36th, Tray wick, Wellborn and
Wooten—ls.
Nays—Messrs. Campbell, Col man, Cor
bitt, Crayton, Dickey, Griffin, of the 21st,
Harris, Henderson, Henry, Hungerford,
Jones, Merrell, Sherman, Smith, of the 7th,
Speer, Wallace and Welch—l9.
So the amendment was lost.
, The question was then put upon the sub
stitute offered by Mr. Smith, of the 7th,
which resulted:
Yeas—Messrs. Bowers, Brock, Campbell,
Colman, Corbett, Crayton, Dickey, Griffin,

The Journal of yesterday was read.
Mr. Sims (col.), continued his remarks on
the penitentiary report, saying that the
number of colored convicts in the peniten
tiary is not due to emancipation, but the
degradation incident to slavery; he urged
that the contract has been often violated
by the present lessees, and gave a minute
description of the internal management of.
the stockades.
jtyr. Beard said that while he does not
agree with the recommendations ot the
committee, still he would not impugn the
motives of that body; that the treatment of
convicts by the present lessees is not only
crqel bat inhuman; he advocated the aboli
tion of whipping as a punishment for con :
victs.
Mr. Turner (col.), said that he is nn&ble
to decide whether or not it will be best to
remand the convicts to the penitentiary or
to throw safeguards around them in the
present system ; that everything had been
taken away from the penitentiaryhe ad
vocated the plan of working convicts eight
hours per day and provide religious and
moral training for them; that so much fuss
has been made over the report that he is
sorry that any report was made, and
wishes that the evidence alone had been
presented ; he advocated that a committee
of eight men be appointed who shall take
the whole matter under consideration.
Mr. jtipe said that the remarks made by
the gentleman from Richmond had njade a
running speech to excite passion and tq re*,
instate himself with a certain set, arid that
tbe chairman, a Christian and upright gen
tleman, has been unwarrantably attacked,
and that he, the gentleman from Camden,
has thwrespect of all men, and especially
of theSepnblican party, and none doubt
bat tJHbe is true to his principles; that
he wflklad to see that Mr. Turner had
taken* substantial and sensible view of
the qjHtion ; that the treatment of con
victs®, latterly, improved, and that the
wholMMitter must be referred to a com-
MrTpchols moved to refer the matter to
a committee of seven from the House and
five ft m the Senate; which motion pre
vailed«(
Mr. lillyer refuted the aspersions of Mr.
Simrai (colored), “ that there was money
ormeapness behind his s|>eech,” and stated
that I Simms tacitly did agree to the re
port, though he may not have signed it.
Mr. hamate introduced a resolution to

subject, and recommends such action as to
justice may appertain. The communication

Georgia.— Washington, July 26.—Ad vices
received here to-day from Georgia state
that'there is no reason to believe t ,at there
will "be any trouble in that State over the
Georgia, bill. The weight of opinion in
botfr parlies incline to the belief that the
law contemplates anew election this Fall,
bjrt in order to settle all doubt an effort
Wfgi be made in some way to get Attorney
,<f|jieral Akerman to give an opinion. The
difficulty is to get the question prop
.CWtf.Jjefbre him. It has been suggested
Terry request an opinion—
the samwway that General Can by asked
one of Jn^BMEar— but is objected to on
the grmwFtbat, Congress having admitted
Tteiirojr ffijijtary authority has ceased, and
has no longer the right to
Hie functions of a military com
m and or. As regards the control of its civil
affairs, one of the members of Congress
elect, however, maintains that, as the mem

admitted, the State still has a provisional

California Democracy.— The spirit
which pervades the law-abiding Democracy
olthe Colorado State is well illustrated in
the following resolutions, passed at their
recent, m iss meeting in San Francisco :
Resolved, That we form ourselves into an
organization, both military and civil, in
order to m tintain our rights as freemen,
and rid the State of pestilential Chinese.
Resolved, That we wish our Representa
tives at Washington to inform f’at intelli
gent body of law makers that if they will
not pass laws to protect and aid us from
the farther immigration of these barbarous
slaves, we will make both laws and law
makers, as is our constitutional right to
so do.
Disgusting. —Of all the disgusting
Jenckinsisms which have disgraced the
American press, the account of the Butler-
Araes wedding is certainly the worst; and
yet it seems impossible that the penny-a
liners who did up the affair could have in
vaded the privacy of the bridal chamber,
ransacked the bureau drawers, trunks, Ac.,
and given the public a minute account of
tbe various gifts, down to each individual
night gown and undershirt—unless they
had been invited and requested to do so.

time ago in relation to a general disarm
ament, he said those efforts were merely in
termediary to those of Earl Clarendon for
a like purpose. Count Von Bismarck re
plied to Earl Clarendon that King William
refused absolutely to disarm. Ollivier said
he gave the honor of his name and that of
his colleagues, that no offer was made to
Prussia other than that made by Earl
Clarendon.
On the Rome question, Ollivier said it
lias seemed equitable and useful to the

equitable because Italy kept her promises,

unites us more ciosety with Italy and Aus

Raleigh, July 30.—Geo. Williamson, a

would have him fired on. Williamson
made a return to the Chief Justice in ac
cordance with the facts. The Chief Jus
tice decided the writs had not been proper
ly served ; First, Because Williamson was
not appointed by the Chief Justice to make
such service; Second, Being a citizen of
Casewell, he was an insurgent, therefore,
he could not serve writs. The Chief
tice reaffirms his opinion that the writ of
habeas corpus was not suspended, and or
dered the marshal of the Supreme Court to
•go to Casewell and serve the writs.
There is not, nor has there been, any dis
turbance or resistance to law in any part
of the State. 1

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Paris, July 30. —The Journal OJficiel, this
morning, published Count Benedetti’s ex
planation of the secret treaty affair. It is
well known that Count Von Bismarck
made France an offer both before and after
the war with Austria. The substance of
this offer was that France should take Bel
gium as compensation for the aggrandize
ment of Prussia. The Emperor, in all
cases, declined the proposition. The very
moment the treaty of Prague was concluded,
Bismarck again betrayed his desire to
“ restore” the equilibrium and made pro
posals to combinations affecting the
integrity of the States bordering on France.
During one of these conversations Count
Von Bismarck dictated to Count Benedetti
this secret treaty piroject, which has just
been made public, and which Count Von
Bismarck has kept ever since. This ac
counts tor the handwriting of Benedetti,
who gave notice of the contents of the
proposed treaty to the Emperor’s Govern
ment at the time, but the proposition was
promptly rejected. Benedetti adds that
the King of Prussia was not favorable to
Count Von Bismarck’s plans.
The Emperor has assumed the com
rnaudership in chief of, the army. He has
been hard at work to-day with General Lc
Bouef arranging jtbe necessary details.—
The Prince Imperial visited the camps to
day and was received with great en
thusiasm. The health of the army is per
fect. There has been no._§srious engage
ment yet. Rnmors to the contrary are
false.
It is reported on the best authority that
the recent mission to Vieuna was a com
plete success. Austria will not take
umbrage at the presence of Italians In Rome
and will remain in accord with Italy.
Madrid, July 30.—The departure from
Madrid of the Duke Montpcnsier is contra
dicted.
A committee of Republican deputies in
the Cortes yesterday decided to support
the demand for a prompt reunion of the
Cortes to definitely establish the constitu
tion.
Rumors that Ministerial charges are
contemplated are contradicted.
The permanent committee of the Cortes,
appointed before adjournment of last ses
sion, will meet to-morrow to fix the time
for the meeting of the next session.
Rome July 30.—Gen. Kanzellcr, of the
War Department, proposes the fortification
of the city.
The Pope’s chaplain has gone to Paris to
receive the Canadian defenders of the
Pope.
London, July 30. — 1 tis now thought the
Prussian army proposes to cross the Rhine
from Baden into France, near Huningn,
two miles below Basle. There is much
activity in German military circles to-day.
The French press, regardless of politics,
praises the Emperor’s address to the people.
Prices of breadstuff's and other articles
at Paris are nearly the same now as on the
eve of an Austro-Prusslan war.
