AN APOSTLE OF RECONSTRUCTION.
The telegraph mikes the following an
nouncement : 1
Richmond, October 27.—Ex-Mayor Cha
hoon has been convicted of forgery, and
sentenced to four years In the penitentiary.
Chaboon's counsel will ask for anew trial.
This George Chahoon, ex-Mayor of
Richmond, so-called, must not be mistaken
for a Virginia gentleman legally elected
and duly installed as a reputable public
functionary of the Old Dominion. Not at
all. Gkohoe Chahoon is, we believe, one
of the “saviors of the National life”
and a filthy deposit of human mud left
on the banks of the noble James river
by the refluent tide of Northern in-
vasion. An apostle of “loyalty,’ he
was constituted, by a military satrap, in a
“ truly Republican form,” Mayor of Rich
mond. With the greatest difficulty, the
people of Richmond contrived to defeat
him for their municipal chief when a popu
lar election, under bayonet auspices, was
finally permitted. Gko. Chahoon did not
yield Ills usurped office to the popular ver
dict without resort to violence, and, during
the interregnum which marked the conflict
of authority, several lives were lost. Later
still, when the Court was about to render
in public a decision against his claim to
the Mayoralty, that awful catastrophe oc
curred at the. Richmond State Capitol
which whelmed in death and sorrow many
valuable lives. And now, this pink of
Unioo shr\eWn»w-chiy!Ury, this ex-bayonet
Mayor, this stirrer up or broUa, this dis
seminator of woe, tliis George CnAttootr;
comes to the surface again as a forg
et'! At the time of his candidacy
for the Mayoralty of Richmond, the
Radical papers everywhere, almost with
out exception, were loud-mouthed in
their eulogies, and backed him, in the
most fervent fashion, as a representative
man, in some sort, of Union-loving patriot
ism. And now the penitentiary yawns for
him, and it is not the fault of the military
commandant and the Republican party
that Richmond is uot this day domineered
over by a chief magistrate whose loyalty
is none the less august because he is proved
to be very much of a thief.
Stephen A. Corker. —This gentleman,
Democratic nomiuee for Congress, for the
short term, in this District, complains
that we did an injustice when to
him as “an original Union Than.” We
spoke according to such information as
reached us. We-now learn, from Mr. C.
himself, that he'was nat:«o_. “original
Union man.” He likewise states that he
was a soldier for several years in the Con
federate army, and his disabilities were
removed without his knowledge or con
seotr*****.* wv . -A
Something Wrong. —ln our report of
Mr. Littlefield's lecture—“ Recollections of
Abraham Lincon"—yesterday, the types
made us say that “ stories and anecdotes
were Mr. Lincoln's life passions,” when we
really wrote “ life preservers."
[ Wtishinrjton tjhrontcte.
What a pity he did not have time to tell
Wilkes Booth a nice smutiy story.
Meeting of the Executive Committee.
—At the meeting of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, which assembled in
Atlanta on Saturday last, in pursuance to
the call of the Chairman, ten members
were present besides the Chairman. The
following recommendations for the action
of the party in the ensuing canvass and
elections were adopted, when the meeting
adjourned, subject to the call of the Chair
man :
Resolved, unanimously, That it is the
judgment of this committee it would be
unwise and inexpedient for the people of
Georgia to attempt, to hold an election on
Tuesday aftijr the jlrst Monday in Novem
ber, and that it would be Wise and politic
for all the people of the Otate, who are en
titled.under existing laws, to vote at the
election commencing on the 20th.
Resolved, That we recommend the Demo
crats and Conservatives of the State to or
ganize in each county, and in due time to
brine forward their candidate* w«* V’*’"' 1
for at neTo on the ~oth,
tsS'T days of December next.
Resolved, That personal aspirations and
individual preferences should bo cheerfully
surrendered for the public good, and where
nominations are made, all who desire the
defeat of the party in power should give
the nominee their cordial support.
Gen. Lee’s Resignation. —The follow
ing letter possesses interest at this time;
Arlington, Va., April 20,1861.
General: Since my interview with you
on the 18th Inst.-, I have felt that I ought
no louger to retain my commission in the
army. I, therefore, tender my resignation,
which I trust yon will commend for accept
ance. It would have been presented at
once but for a struggle it has caused me to
separate myself from a service to which I
have devoted the best years of my life and
all the ability I possessed. Duriug the
whole of that time—more than a quarter
of a century—l have experienced nothing
but kindness from my superiors and the
most cordial friendship from my comrades.
To no one, Qeueral, have I been as much
indebted as to yourself for uniform kind
ness and consideration, and it has always
been my ardent desire to merit your appro
bation. I shall carry to the grave the most
grateful recollections, of your very kind
consideration, and your name and fame will
always be dear to me.
Save in defeuse of ray native State, I
never desire again to draw ray sword. Be
pleased to accept ray most ardent wishes
for the continuance of your happiness and
prosperity, and believe me most truly
yours, 11. E. Lee.
Lieut. Gen. Winfield Scott, Commanding
United States Army.
An Offender Tries an Offender.—A
singular spectaclecame under our observa
tion in Richmond, a few evenings since,
during Mr. George Chahoon’s trial before
Judge Guigon, for forgery. It will be re
collected that Mr. C. is a United States
Commissioner. After the close of the case
Friday, for the day, Mr. Chahoon was
taken in charge by a United States Mar
shal, and as we saw the two wending their
way down town we were told that Cha
hoon was en route to sit in judgment on an
offender’s case that was to come up—prob
ably that of Wilcox, charged with having
too strong an affectlou for Uncle Sam’s let
ter pouches, the United States mails*. Cha
hoon, charged with forgery in one court,
sitting as judge in another court, it may be
on a mail robber! And after getting
through, handed over by the Marshal to be
put in the lock-up 1 Strange, it true, but
not stranger than other happenings of the
present disjointed times.

Tours, October.^. —It is asserted tiiat
Thiers, from ilXfiesr of Saving tSe Paris
ians learn the true feeling throughout
Prance.
Prom all parts of the count >y come hopes
Uutk thc t Goverumeul wyi accept no humi.l
iating terms. The journals of this city
arc unanimous that the only hope for fair
terms lies in the Indefinite prosecution of
ihaimr -- - *
The Prussian movement eastward was
stopped and the march upon Lyons checked
by Garibaldi’s victories. Garibaldi has
been active and has taken many prisoners
and cannon. He has accomplished the
object for which he went forth.
A young officer lias just arrived from
Metz with dispatches for the Government.
He eluded the Prussians by au effective
disguise. He confirms acconnts lately
published of succ< .1 sorties of Baz&ine.
He says the city and garrison are well pro
visioned, and able to hold, out indefinitely.
Information has been received from Or
leans that all shops are closed ami the
streets deserter!. The women almost uni

officers ineffectually attempt to dispel the
gloom.
At Marseilles affairs are more orderly.
Journals formerly suppressed arc allowed
to reappear, by order of Gambetta. The
civic guard is less unruly.
Parties who furnish the enemy willingly,
or for the hope of profit, will be court
martialed as traitors. The Mayors must
defend every town ; those failing to do so
will be dismissed, and the towns be official
ly denounced.
The inhabitants of the Departments of
Jura and Vosges petition against a peace
involving a cession of territory.
The Moniteur announces that, letters for
Paris may be sent to the Prefecture of
Tours, as it is determined to break the
blockade.
The Prussian movements in the Vosges
and Normandy have been checked by rain,
wind and cold.
It is noticed that the Prussian’s Inhu
manity have increased with their difficul
ties: They destroy fanning utensils, looms
and factories, and tear down dwellings, kill
horses and cattle, and destroy food they
cannot eat.

Neutrals to guarantee peace.
Madrid, October 27*—Members of a ma
jority in the Cortes passed a Resolution for
assembling that body on the 20th.
Bt. Petersburg, October 27.—The fol
lowing is a summary of the negotiations
on the part of the neutral Powers of Europe
for an armistice, and comes from an au
thentic source. After reciting the deter
mination of the neutrals to seize the first
opportunity for mediation, the document,
proceeds: “Russia, in Jules Favre’s visit
to Prussian headquarters, believed that
the long-looked for opportunity had ar
rived. At this moment a reception of the
Prussian note on the subject of probable
early starvation in Paris caused a change
in the idea of neutrals. When, however
they pressed the subject of mediation again*
Russia ty-ld back, on the ground that me
diation unsupported by force would be
worthless. Conditions of peace must be
left exclusively to the belligerents. The
course was still possible to convoke a na
tional assembly, which alone was compe
tent to decide the question of peace or
war.”
Blois, October 27.—A strong column of

A CHAPTER OF FACTS.
IS VALUABLE IN A NEWSPAPER,
and it is therefore proposed in this advertisement to
condense a variety of facts, important to the public,
into a small compass. Those facts refer to Hostet
tei’s Btom.ich BifteVs—what that celebrated medicine
is, and what it will do. In the first place, then, the
article is a stimulant, tonic and alterative, consisting
of a*£ombination of an absolutely pure spirituous
agent, with the most valuable medicinal vegetable
substances that Botanic research has placed at the
disposal of the chemist Mid of the physician. These
ingredients arc compounded with great care, and in
such propoitinns as to produce a prei aration which
invigoratesi without exciting the general sj stem, and
tones, regulates and contro's the stomach, the bowels,
the liver and the minor secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do mußt lie gather
ed from what it has done. The cass of dyspejaia, or
any other form of indigestion, in which it has been
persistently administered without effecting a ra licid
ciire, isyict to he heard from, and the same may be
said of bilious disorders, intermittent fever, nervous
affections, general debility, constipation, sick head
ache, mental despondency, and the peculiar com
plaints and disabilities to which the'feeble are so
subjects. It purities all the fluids of the body, in
' eluding the Mood, and the" gentle stimulus which it
imparls to the nervous system is not succeeded by
the slightest reaction. This is a chapter of facts
which readers, for their own sokes, should mark and
remember. octlß-lnovl
