Fitch, the accomplished editor of that sprightly little journal, the Griflin (Ga.) ktar, lias retired from the editorial chair of that pa per and has been succeeded by Messrs. A. M. Spcigbts and F. K. Bridges, to whom we extend our good wishes. What rs Ukpl uU' A.v ism ?—The negro syflragc amendment to the State Oonstitu* tion of Missouri has been defeated. The cify of Ht. Louis, while giving a majority of 2,884 for Grant, gives 8,825 majority against negro suffrage. Elk*tion in Georgia.—The New York Tribune says that “it is really agonising to learn from Georgia Democratic journals that they suffered from an irruption of dirty voting negroes from Alabama. South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee.” Ts the Tribune about to become Democratic? I’ttEsiPF.NTiAE Election in Georgia. —We have official returns from one hun dred and twenty-six counties in the State, leaving but six to be heard from—Cam den, Montgomery, Towns, Waynes, I’ick cis and H iralson. In these counties Sey mour's majority is over forty-seven thou sand ; the counties to be heard from will increase it probably to fifty thousand, llon. B. If. Him,.--The LaGrange (Ga. ) Reporter says: A t 'atoment is going the rounds of the pre.-s that Mr. Hill will soou make his r< : idence in Augusta. This is a mistake. He only intends to open a law office in that city and concentrate his business there, while his family wiil continue to reside in Athens. This is the statement Mr. 11. made to us. The Ku Klux. —The Ku Klux made thei” appearance in considerable force at Stone & Murray’s and Robinson’s circuses, recently. Ihe Radicals have been very nervous since. Door fellows! Tho real Ku Klux are just as funny and a.i harm less as those at the circus; and only in tended to frighten such fellers as General Meade and other petty tyrants. Grant s Baht Speech to the Repub licans. Ah Gen. Grant passed through Belvidcre, Illinois, a Republican proces sion greeted him, when the General re sponded as follows : “Gentlemen : 1 see many of you in uniforms. You laid them off’ three years ago, and you can now lay i hem off again, and we will Lave peace. Good night.” Returning Home —Ex Governor Orr recently contemplated removal to Min nesota. We now learn that the Governor, after visiting the West, has decided to abide the fortunes of his native State, and has accepted a Judgeship under the new ritate Government. This is the right spirit. Stand by the State and aid in her development. We know of no Sta f e which needs the services of her sons now more than South Carolina.

Let us Have Peace. —A Hartford dis patch in the World, upon the Radical jubilee in that city after the election, t ays : The streets aro thronged with people, and there is tho wildest enthusiasm. A pleasing feature of the clebration was that a Seymour and Blair club came out with torches and joined in their procession, hearing a banner inscribed, “Let us be friends.” They wore given the head of tho line, and were received with tumult uous cheers. The Louisville Journal and Courier. -These two able journals havo consolidated and merged into the Courier- Journal, tho first number of which reach ed us lust night. The Nestor of tho West ern Press, indeed, wo might say of tho American Press, retains his connection with the dual representative Press of tho “Dark and Bloody Ground,” for wc con sider that the Journal and Courier truly represented the views ol the gallant peo ple of Kentucky in the past as they will, combined, continue to do in the future. The Courier Journal is one of tho nblost and most readable papers in tho United States. We congratulate our war refugee friend, Haldcman, on his eminent success, in -oeuriug and combining in one journal the ability of the gallant and talented Buck ner, the able and versatile Watterson, aud that original genius, George D. Pieutice — a trio which cannot be excelled in the United States. Andrew Johnson for Governor. — Some of the papers are placing the name of Andrew Johnson at tho head of their columns for Governor of Tennessee. A Nashville correspondent of the Louisville Cornier says it is well understood there that President Johnson desires the nomi nation and that he will receive it. Improved Chpun Dash.—Messrs. Jones, Smytho <{• Cos. are the Agents in this city for the sale of an improved Churu Dash, which is very simple in its con struction, and eau make good butter in oue-fifth of the time consumed by the old-fashioned dasher. It is easily worked, and saves rime and labor. These Dashers are sold at the low price of $1 each. Our country friends will find it to their interest to examine this improvement. Messrs. Jones, Srnythe & Cos. are prepared to fill all orders sent them. A Liberal Oefkr.—The attention of, parties desiring to hold Cotton is invited to the advertisement of Mr. Henry Bryan, of Savannah. Ga. Mr. Bryan is a mer- j chant of high standing in Savannah, well and favorably knowr, not only there, but in this city also. We commend him, therefore, with pleasure, to our readers, and advis, those who desire to avail them selves of the advantages which he offers, to do so. Charleston and Liverpool Steam ship Line. —A large number of Charleston merchants attended a banquet on the steamship Golden Horn in Charleston har bor, on the 11th. Mr. Robert Mure,of the firm of Mure & Cos., the projector of the line, made a short speech acknowledging the great assistance he had received troin the President and Directors of the South Caro lina Railroad in establishing this important enterprise. The dinner is represented as having been potter, up in magnificent 3tyle, and all passed off in the happiest manher. The Golden Horn is the pioneer of the fleet of flrst class steamers which will ply between Charleston and Liverpool. We hail the establishment of this line as a cer tain indication of a return tc the “City by the Sea” of all the prosperity which she formerly enjoyed. That it will also bene fit our own city is too obvious to he deuied. Our business men aud planters will now have the advantage of two ports—Charles ton and Savannah—each of them at aeon venient distance ; and each of them en joying that great commercial hloseiug of direct intercourse with the great markets of Europe. The Testimony in the RukfinCase.— Through the courtesy of Mr. E. M. Bray ton, Clerk of the Superior Court, wc wcie allowed to take a copy of the evidence given in before the Coroner’s inquest which was held upon the body of A. G. Ruffin, killed on the day of the election: I,R. \VM. n. TUTT : B TESTIMONY. A ball entered the hack of the deceased about two inches Inflow the right scapular, ranging inwardly, touching the right lung, and making no exit, the bail still remain ing in the body. The wound was suffi cient to produce death. It was a gun-shot wound inflicted by parties unknown to me. Wx. H. Tutt, M. D. dr. swinney’s testimony. I was present yesterday afternoon on Greene street. There was a large crowd at the place where Monument street inter sects Greeue. Mr. Ruffin came up to the crowd with an United Stat-s soldier and said “ Arrant that man,” pointing to a young man in the crowd. The young man asked “ Why do y u want to arrest me? I have not done anything to be arrested for.” He was not arrested. The young man was named Tanner, from that the crowd commenced gathering around, I with the balance of them, until a consid erable crowd bad collected, when there were some words spoken t* at witness did not understand. Finally the soldier asked deceased “ Why do you wish me to arrest him?” Deceased replied “Ho is inter fering with me in the discharge of my official duty.” The soldier then remarked ‘You will’have to apply to iny officer* or ‘ superior officer,’ I am not certain which, and turned and walked away. As the soldier turned the witness did the same thing. When I had turned about half round, facing the deceased, I heard what I thought was the discharging of a pistol, or the snapping of a cap. Wit ness turned his head without turn ing his body. I saw deceased place bis band to bis body and say ‘I am shot.’ The deceased then staggered or stepped buck, some gentlemen catching him and laying him down. I started up to him, meaning deceased ; saw- Dr. bearing stooping over him, and heard Dr. Dealing remaik : “He is not hit; but has fainted.” The witness then turnel and walked off. Someone in the crowd (do not know- who, remarked ; “He has not come too yet ; they are carrying him In the Court House ysrd.” * Witness' sou asked himself ifhe had examined Mr. Baffin. Witness replied I have not. His son then said he understood that Dr. Dear ing and Dr. Ford had raid lie was not wounded ; but had only tainted. About five minutes after this witness was stand ing at the Court House gate, when Mr. King came forward and stated that Ruffin was dead. Some time afterward I was failed upon by Mr. Dean to assist in making an examination of Ruffin and a colored man, who were lying in the'City Hall dead. Upon examination I found the point of entrance just below the right shoulder blade. The wound I consider a gun-shot wound inflicted by a small cartridge pistol, in my judgment; enter ing the cavity the ball ranging upward, passing through the right lung and ihe upper portion of the heart, then turning a tittle upward and lodging in the spine. The ball would have passed under the collar bone, coming out above the shoul der blade, had it not been obstructed. The wound, in my opinion, was sufficient to produce instant death. I am a practicing physician and sur geon. The shooting of Ruffin occurred, In the best of my knowledge, at between 3 and 4 o’clock in the evening, in the city of Augusta, Richmond county, and State of Georgia. I know that Ruffin was Sheriff of Richmond county. 1 saw- the deceased approach a negro and ask if lie had a pis tol ? He replied, “No!”' tie then went to another negro and asked him if he had one. This negro rep ied “Yes?” He then told the negro to give him the pistol. Just at that time I passed him and do not know whether tie got the pistol or not. I heard the deceased tell the negroes to ratty around him, and he would drive the damned scoun drels {or damned sons of b , I do not re member which) away This remark w-as made opposite Dr. Coleman’s some live minutes before the shooting commenced. At the time tho remark was made opposite Dr. Coleman’s house I considered that Mr. Ruffin was disturbing the peace in place of preserving it, as the duties of his office as Sheriff required him to do. M. K Swinney, M. D. w. vv. king’s testimony. I was standing in abouttbrea feet of de ceased when ho pointed out Mr. Tanner to the United Slates soldier. Tanner re marked that he had done uothiug to be arrested for. The soldier replied to the deceased that he could not make the ar rest, that he must go to his Major. De ceased then spoke to witness, saying,“Bill, I look to you to stand by me.” I told him that Mr. Tanner or no other man should interfere with him in the discharge of his duty. About this time the crowd commenced hissing and hallowing. 1 then heard the report of a pistol. Deceased clapped his right hand up to his side and said, “I am hit.” I made about two steps, caught him in my arms ami opened his shirt to examine him. 1 remarked, “I do not think you are hurt, Alph.” He was then failing. Dr. Doaring iheu stepped up, opened his shirt and said that he did not see any wound. Dr. Ford then came for ward and requested mo to carry him out of tho crowd. We carried him to the Police Station and placed him on a bed. I assisted Dr. Ford in stripping him. Dr. Ford started to probe the wound, but re marked that it was useless, as the man was dead. The shot appeared to have come from tho rear. Mr. Tanner was standing directly in front of the de ceased. Ido not know who lirod the shot, the crowd being very thick. It was composed of whites entirety. I, witness, was acting as Deputy SfierifT. Witness considered the conduct of deceased, as Sheriff, of Richmond county, as ealeu at ed to create a disturbance, and not to pre serve the peace. Laboring under excite ment, lie w-as, in my opinion, incompe tent to discharge the duties of his office. I saw Mr Ruffin approach Dr. Oakman and ask him ifhe had a pistol ? He (I)r. Oakman) replied “yes.” He asked him if lie had shot it? He replied “no.” He then asked him if lie had drawn it. He replied that he had drawn it in self-defence. He then asued him to let him see it. Wbereupou Dr. Oakman showed it to him. Deceased snatched it away from him and had him arrested. I cousiderthe act, in so doing, as calculated to disturb the peace instead of preserving it. Dr. Oakman is a private citizen. Tho shoot ing of Ruffin occurred in front of the City Ilall, on Tuesday evening, November 3, about 4 o’clock. VV, W. King. TESTIMONY OF O. A. BLOUNT. I consider tho conduct of tho deceased day of his death, previous thereto, as tending to give rise to dissension, and not tending to preserve order. Ido not know who tired theshot producing the death of Mr. Htiilln, I corroborate ihe testimony of VY. W. King. G. A. Blount. DR. M. F.. SWINNKY RECALLED. 1 stale that 1 do not know who fired the shot producing the deatli of Mr. Ruffin, All the within evidence sworn to before me this November 4th, 1808. VV. P. Rhodes, Coroner. This, then, is the true statement of the ease sworn to before the Coroner of the county. llow does it correspond with the language of Bullock’s proclamation j offering $5,000 reward} for the arrest of the guilty party? In that proclamation j he says it “has been officially' communi j cated to this office that Albert G. Iluffin, j Sheriff of the county of Richmond, in I this State, while engaged in the perform j ance of his duty, maintaining the peace at | the polls in Augusta, at about 3 o’clock j &c., was assassinated. ****** I * * Now, therefore, to the end that | justice may be done, and that officers in i the faithful performance of their duty, ; may not be murdered with impunity, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor of the State, &0., &c., issue this my proclamation offer ing a reward of $5,000 for the arrest aud ■ conviction of the person or persons who have thus caused the death of the said Albert G. Iluffin." It will be seen from this that his procla mation is issued upon official information furnished him that Ruffin was killed while ! maintaining the peace at the polls. What ; official information could he have received, 1 save from the evidence elicited in the in ! vestigation before tho Coroner of the coun- ty ? Who besides this officer could furnish him any official information on tho subject? Yet how could this officer send him any such statement when the witnesses exam ined on the subject swear that Ruffin, in stead of preserving the peace, was breaking it himself and inciting others to do the same thing. The reason Governor Bullock gives for offeringthis reward is “that offi cers in the faithful performance of their du ties, may not with impunity be murdered,” yet at the time this proclamation was is sued Bullock knew that Ruffin was not | engaged in the faithful performance of his j duties,but was trying to ineite a riot. Gov. Bullock’s proclamation bears the stamp of falsehood on its face, and he knew that it was a falsehood when he penned it. We do not publish this evidence in any unkind feeliug toward the deceased Sheriff, but in order to show to the people of Georgia the j spirit of base partisanship which directs every act of this miserable tool of sharper knaves, who has, by the aid of stuffed bal lot-boxes, been foisted upon us as our Governor. Is it not deplorable that a man occupying his high official station should not be able to rise above the level of a political partisan of the lowest and most maiiguant stamp . On the same day there are killed, or mortally wounded, in different parts of the State, five or six men, three of whom—the two policemen and young Law, of Savannah—were shot down while in the“faith:ul performance of their duly as peace officers;" yet no notice is taken ofthe death of those men, Bur reward offered lor the apprehension of their mur derers save in one instance, where the victim, though proven to have been in citing violence at the time, or just before the ante, of his death, was a member- qf the Governor’s own political party. Gal i lant gentlemen and efficient officers may be murdered by Radical mobs with im punity. if the victims happen to be Dem ocrats, but let a riotous Radical be killed by some tnan whom he had probabij’ outraged and insulted, and out comes our Governor with $5,000 reward for the conviction of his murderer. The Georgia Railroad Advan■ taghs of Quick Dispatch iii Freight. —We Lave noticed, several times lately, the quick dispatch with which freights are shipped North on the Geor s ia Railroad. This dispatch is beginning to be felt and appreciated in points far distant from Au gusta. The Selina Sentinel, in noticing the arrival in that city of our old friend Tim. Lyons, alludes, in favorable terms, to the advantages of this route to the people of the Southwest. Freights are looked up in the cars at Selma, and pass through without change to Charleston, where they are shipped, on first class steamers, to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Bos ton, and Liverpool, reaching New York in about ‘six days] from tbe time of ship ment at Selma. By this route, a distance of 320 miles issaved. Now, in these times of fast work and quick dispatch, this saving of time and dis tance is of the greatest im portance to planters, shippers and business men generally; and all of these classes are beginning to appreciate it and to avail themselves of it. It applies to Rome and Atlanta, Ga., Montgomery, Selma, and Mobile, Ala , Meridian and Vicksburg, Miss., and to all intermediate points, as well as to points even more distant. A letter from Montgomery states that shippers there are sending their cotton through by this route in quantities, and are willing to pay higher rates of freight than those charged by competing lines rather than lose the time in transit. We are assured, however, that the rates on this route are as reasonable as on any other, which, with this quick delivery of goods, renders it so desirable. A sufficient number of cars arc placed on the line, and close connection made with the steamers at Charleston, so that there is no delay in the transmission of freights. These are facts to which the attention of the business public generally should be called ; and with that view we give them, therefore, this prominence. Mr. Johnson, the Assistant Superin tendent of the Georgia Road, is a thor ough, going, go ahead business man; and, under his supervision and direction, its business must largely increase. With such men as Johnson, Lyons, and the other gentlemen who have the charge of this Road, it is bound to be a popular and a paying institution. Convention of the Agricultural and Manufacture Association of Georgia. —The Cotton Planters’ Conven tion, which met in Macon on the Gth of September, 1860, and again in Miiledge ville iu November, 1866, changed Ihe name of the Association to “The Agricultural and Manufacturing Associationof the State of Georgia,” with a view to enlarging its scope of operations, and inviting the co operation of every industrial interest of the State. This association was to have met at Milledgeville simultaneously with the Legislature in November, 1868, but politi cal changes and consequent excitement, caused its postponement to a time more opportune for useful deliberation. Mr. Benjamin Yancey, the President of the Association, deeming that that time has arrived, calls a convention of the Associa tion, to meet in Macon, Ga., on tho 10th day of December next, at 10 o’clock A. M. Planters, Farmers, Manufacturers, Me chanics, and every industrial interest in the State are earnestly invited to send delegates to that convention, who will take an interest in its proceedings, and delibe rate for the best interests of the State. The Committee appointed for the pur pose, at Macon, it is expected, will pro vide a suitable hall for the use of the con vention, and the Press of the State is requested to invite public attention to the proposed meeting of the Association. A Georgia Potato.—We fee a par agraph in the papers from the Superin tendent of the United States Bureau of Agriculture, that he had received a sweet potato, from Bowling Green, weighing four and one-half pounds ! Georgia can beat that and not half try. We yesterday received a potato from Leroy Fleetwood, the excellent and re spected Sheriff of Wilkinson county, weighing nine and one-half pounds. We will sayrnothing of a prong of it, weigh ing three pounds more, which was broken off in digging and did not reach this of fice. — Macon [Ga.) Telegraph. Sakes alive ! what a whopper ! We mean the potato, of course. A Cow Tale. —An exchange has the following, which is some in its way: Some Cow ! —The Editor of the Colum bus Enquirer heard of a farmer, the other day, who was complaining to a person about his neighbor’s cow destroying his foddei. He said she got into his field the night before, and eat up fifteen dollars’ worth of fodder. She was only in the field one night, and putting fodder at one dollar per hundred pounds, the cow eat up fifteen hundred pounds in one night! If she gives milk in proportion to what she eats, she is certainly a valuable cow ! ——meet umi The Indian Summer. —The Petersburg (Ya.) Index thus gives the origin of the term Indian Summer. The Indian Summer. —For some days past we have been enjoying the beautiful and balmy weather of the Indian Summer. It has been brief but glorious this season, as warm and lovely as the charming days of early May. Theoriginof thenameof “In dian Summer” is not satisfactorily known. Says a contemporary: The first United States history that met our childhood said that the Indians, in their improvidence, were in the habit of procrastinating the j work of gathering their scanty food for \ winter till the cold snap of early November brought them to their thoughts, and that in the warm weeks succeeding they aid their hunting and gathering, and hence “Indian Summer.” The New England tradition is, that the Indiaus believed this season to be caused by the southwest wind which prevails at this period, aud which their good divinity, who resided in that quarter, sent them as a special blessing. It has been sometimes said that the term Indian was given to this period because, game being plenty at the time, and the hazy condition of the atmosphere favoring their near approach to animals unsuspect ed, made it a special Indian hunting sea ( son ; and it is believed that all who have ’ had experience among the Northern In dians concur iu the general correctness of these statements. They do hut little hunting till September and October, and when November comes they gather up their corn, rice and meat, and start on their winter hunt into the forests. Ask these Indians at any time of the year when : thev are going to their hunting grounds, j and they will say, “When the Great Spirit i sends us our fall summer,’ which they universally believe is sent after the cold fall rains for their particular benefit. General Grant’s Views of the Re publican Platform.—' The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes as follows to that paper: A statement mads last evening by a gentleman in whom may be placed implicit reliance, and who enjoys excellent oppor tunities to enable him to speak intelligent ly on the subject, may give some indication of General Grant’s position in relation to the Republican party. He states that after the General vas nominated he sat for quite a long time carefully reading and ponder ing upon the platform adopted by the Con vention ; that he finally expressed to his confidential friends that he did pot libe it, and was in great doubt vbethcr he would accept the nomination on that platform. This coming to the ears of certain leaders i of the party they hastened to call upon the 1 General, who stated to them his objections to the platform. This intelligence was re ! ceived with no little consternation by his | visitors, who feared that Grant entertained the intention of decliniufi fo* Tarnation. They at once Opened upon him with every conceivable argument they could bring forward to induce him to accept, one of which arguments was that the" platform neeu not te regarded by him in so serious a light it was simply an enunciation of the general principles of the party, neces sary only to make up the issues of the campaign. They urged him to accept at all events, and to say nothing more about the platform. Many other arguments of a similar character were used, it is said, which gave Grant to understand that they wanted him to accept the nomination, it even it had to be on a platform of his own adoption. Os seven Governors in as many “recon structed" Southern States, only two have resided South more than three years. Os ten United States Senators elected in live Southern States, eight are recent emigrants. Os thirty-three Represeutatives elect to Cougress from seven Southern States, twenty-two are recent emigrants. General Prim on the Expulsion of the Jews. —General Prim Fas sent the following reply to M. Guedalla, President of the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish Society of London, who had applied on ' behalf of his co-religionists, for the revoca tion of tbe edict of expulsion issued in 1492: I have received the congratulation which you have addressed to me ; 1 thank you sincerely for the elevated sentiments which you express ; I am convinced that the triumph of the revolution must estab lish, without any restriction, all religious liberties; but what you so justly demand is not within my individual province to ac cord. Be pleased, therefore, to send directly to the provisional Government, or to its President, an application similar to that which I have under my eyes, and let it be written in Spanish in order that it may be immediately examined wiih all the attention that so important a question de mauds. An Outrage —Edmund Mclntosh, a colored Democrat, has lost three cows and his plow horse. He was warned before the election “that it would be worse for him.” Two of hb cows have disappeared. The third—sac and in full health —was kill ed, the hide taken off and left on the spot. His horse was poisoned. If this is a sam ple ol thelibirtyof free suffrage, where will it end ? New Grocery* Store. —Everybody has to eat, and, therefore, Grocery stores must be patronized. Mr. Geo. 0. Robinson, it will be seen by reference to our advertising columns, has just opened a family grocery store, at Mr. (Jhas. Baker’s old stand, No. 267 Broad street, where will be kept every thing usually found in a first class grocery store , and he is going to sell his goods at very reasonable prices for cash. We bespeak for him a liberal share of public patronage. Tax Collector for Richmond Coun ty.—Mr. Samuel Levy, the Ordinary of this county, has given the appointment of Tax Collector for Richmond county to Mr. John A. Bohler. We need hardly say that this appointment gives entire satisfaction to the people. Mr. Bohler is well known as a sterling citizen. His fitness for the office no one will deny. He is well qualified both by experience and capacity. His appointment will give en tire satisfaction. Grand Meteoric Display'.— There was a magnificent meteoric display on Friday night and Saturday morning, it com menced at about 11 o’clock ou Friday night and continued until about 4 o’clock l Saturday morning. Tbe weather was very cold at the time ; but the night was j clear and beautiful, very favorable for viewing this beautiful phenomenon of’Na j ture. At times the meteors were quite ■ numerous, increasing in number toward morning. It was a splendid sight to those who had the good fortune to witness it; but there were comparatively few who had that good fortune, owing to the lateness of the hour at which it commenced, and the chilliness of the weather which kept most people within doors. Production of Cotton. —A friend of Mr. Bancroft informs us that he, on the Bth of September, had gathered five thou sand lbs. from one acre, which he devoted to experiment, and that every one who had seen this acre were unanimous in the opinion that there could not be less than one thousand pounds to gather, whatever the vicissitudes of the season might be. The same authority informs us that Mr. Bancroft has at the same estate gathered one bale to the acre for every acre planted cn his farm of some thirty acres. The same authority asserts that the system of applying tho manure to the given spot sustaining the plant is praticed by the Brazilians, and the settled plan in use by the Chinese, practiced forcenturies. The Chinese say that they cannot afford to apply manure broadcast. The Household for 1869.— Attention is directed to tbe advertisement of “ The Household in another column. It is one of the handsomest and most interesting papers in the country. It should be a reg ular visitor in every family, as its small cost places it within the reach of all. We are satisfied that no family, after having once seen and read The Household , will do without it. We therefore advise ourreaders to send for specimen copies, which will be furnished free, on application. The sub scription price is only one dollar a year, and ad new subscribers for 1869, will re ceive the November and the December numbers free. Address George E.

N Tvember 4.1868. ’ j ' n “I,swer I have to say that while the return called for by section 57 cannot be required from any person woo had but fiftv gallons or loss ca distilled spirits in his' possession Cn the Ist instant, it is nevertheless important to the interests of such persons that their packages of such spirits should be marked and stamped as prescribed in that section, otherwise the spirits being without either the tax paid stamp, or the stamp for stock on hand, would be in danger of detention under section 41, aud perhaps of seizure and for feiture under the provision of section 57, for the forfeiture of all distilled spirits found after thirty days in packages of more than five gallons, without having thereon each mark and stamp required therefor by this act. Sec tion 36 would, in such case, throw the bur den of proof on the claimants and as pro bable case for seizure couid, doubtless, in most cases be shown to have existed, tho expense and trouble to which the owner ot the spirits would be subjected before he could receive his property would gen erally exceed its value. It would be well to make this view ofthe matter known to those your District whom it ruav con cern Thomas Harland, Act. Com.

The Comptroller of the Treasury, under date of November 10, to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, decides that the law of July 20, 1868, allows Assessors a com mission of one-fourth of one per cent on amount of tax collected on spirits distilled since the passage of the act in addition to the other commissions allowed.

SELECTED TELEGRAMS. Special Dispatch to the New York Commercial Advertiser. The President Elect and .the Appointing Power—Movement to Restore the Privi leges ofthe Presidency, Washington, November 10. —Since the arrival of General Grant in this city, the question of repealing in his favor the laws of Cougress limiting the authority of the President has been freely di-cussed. It is announced that these laws were enacted for a special purpose, in order to restrain Mr. Johnson from interfering with the Reconstruction policv’ ofCongress, and that there is no occasion for their con tinuance under a Prosid nt who is in har mony with the majority in Congress. A number of leading Republicans are opposed to a repeal of these laws, and ad vocate the assertion of a permanent con trolling influence by Congress over the Executive. As it is known, however, that the Demo crats intend to introduce a bill for the res toration of the full privileges of the Pres idency to General Grant, it is thought that the Republicans will anticipate them, aud that an act will be passed at the com mencement of the December session, to take effect from the 4th of March next, which will give the new President the full privileges of his office. Tlie oflU-e-boiders will, of course, be in favor of the existing condition of affairs. But as the“outs”arein adecided majority, and as most Congressmen wouhi desire to conciliate the rising power, in view of the immense number of offices to fie filled, there is little doubt that Uia fiot will go through Congress with a large vote Illness of the Pope—Convocation of Cardinals. —Tho Pope has lately summoned to Rome Dr. Malgadi, of Pano, a physician in whom he has great confi dence, and who has careftiliy examined his leg. The frequent suppuration is regard ed by the Hector as a bad sympton, and he is understood to have spoken despoud ingly of the Pope’s condition. The Holy Father, however, is very active, and appears to be in good health. The liome correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette says: ‘Tam without positive confirmation of the statement as to the proposal made by Count Armand to the Pope to cede to Italy the of Frosinone and Yelietri. ’byt aa 1 extraordi nary convocation of the cardinals was held at the V atican a sow days ago, and there is no doubt that the Pope laid before them a copy of a note addressed by General Me nabrea to the Italian .Ambassador at Paris.” Departure of Gen. Hosecrans.— Gen Roseerins, United States Minister to Mexico, departed yesterday for the scene of his mission m the steamship Granada , for Vera Cruz, touching at Havana and Sisal on the route. Gen. Rosecrans was accompanied by his lady, three daughters and a son, together with his mother-in law, 3£r§. H'agaihan. No attaches were with Kim. Gen. Longstreet, of the late Confederate Army, Gen. Sturm, and Ben. Wood, Jr., were also upon the vessel and bound to the same destination. The Mexican Consul, Mr. Juan Navarro, and a came ofi board to witness the General s departure, and these, added fa'a number of idlers, created a considerable crowd upon the dock as the steamer left. A lively cheering took place. The usual salutes upon similar oc casions were also fired from the United States war steamers off the port. The stateroom-door of the General was em bellished by mingled American and Mex ieaij fbigg, and the officers of the vessel, for the first time, wore The Gra/ioaft is owned by Messrs. F.

The Earthquake in Ireland on October 24th created the most intense ex citement in the city of Cork, although the shocks were not perceived in the vicinity of that place. The effects of the internal commotion of the earth were felt at New town, within a few miles of Mallow, in County Cork, and at several other places between Mallow and Kanturk. The shocks were accompanied with a loud, rumbling noise and oscillation of the earth. Houses were shaken from their founda tions, and in some instances the furniture was thrown dowD aod broken. The shocks passed from North to South- At the time the wind was blowing a hurricane. The loyal Rev. H. Fowler, of Irasburg, Vt., is in a peck of troutile. Parishioners caught him in a bad scrape : 7th com mandment. They believe him to be Foul er than they ever supposed. “Let us be Friends.” i Under this caption the Chicago Times, a leading Democratic journal in the North | west, says : In Hartford, Connecticut, the sup porters of Mr. Grant celebrated their vic tory by a torchlight procesdou. The Democratic club of Hartford joined the procession, bearing a banner widi the in scription, “Let us befriends.” This is a sentiment that animates, and has always animated the Democracy in all parts of the country : “Though wc differ in our views of policy, let ns be friends in supporting the principles that constitute the foundation of our political liberties.” When the civil war was over, the De mocracy said to the extremists of all sec tions, “Let us be friends.” What did the extremists in the North say in reply? They said, “No Let us continue to be enemies. As for us, wo will not shake hands with men who have sough us. We will continue to nurse our hatreds ” There is a passage somewhere in a good book that some men profess great re.-pect for, which tells us that brethren ought to dwell together in unity. The Democracy subscribe to that doctrine heartily; but the Radical extremists repudiate it. The sen timent, they say is all wrong. Brethren ought to dwell together like cats and dogs, unless the weaker brethren will submit to any wrong that the stronger may chose to put upon them, and to which the stronger, on their part, refuse to submit The sentiment of the Hartford Demo cratic club is the sentiment of three mil lions of Democratic voters. It is ours, as well as yours. We must ive in it together. We desire to preserve for ourselves and our posterity the liberties it secures. We will presume, until you prove the contrary, that youv desires are the same. Let us be friends on this broad national plantform. Whoever threatens danger or overthrow to these liberties—be he President or Con gressman; be he politician or priest—let us defend them against. We have bad war enough. We have had disfranchisement and confiscation enough. Wc have had slander and detraction and denunciation and hatred and revenge enough. We have had misery and death and devastation enough. We have had enarties between us enough. Let us have amnesty for all politic offences. Let us be friends. Interview with General Grant —A correspondent of the New York Herald gives an account of an interview of a number of representatives of the press with General Grant on Tuesday, from which we make the following extract: It having been mentioned that he en joyed a reputation for cautiously avoiding politics, the General replied that it was true he did not like to talk about politics, because that which may he regarded as right and proper in polities to day may he all wrong six months hence, and he thought that politics is a subject about which the least said the better. In reply to the remark that no Presi dent ever entered upon his executive duties with a fairer opportunity to admin ister the affairs of the country so as to se cure tranquility and prosperity, the Gen eral said that it would he his constant care to seek an early restoration of peace and harmony throughout the Union. The successful manner in which the President elect eluded the elaborate reception prepa rations in this city having been referred to, the General remarked that all such public demonstrations found no favor in his sight. In travelling through the country it frequently happened that such displays were in full operation. In such cases they cannot well be avoided. “But this city,” said he, “is my home, and to have glorifications of that kind here would he repugnant to my feelings. Nothing of that kind will be done with my approba tion. It had been published that he would hold a public reception at his resi lenee. This was not true. He had not expressed any intention of doing so. He would be happy to receive all who may wish to favor him with a call, either at his housr or at his headquarters, but a public reception this time did not appear to him as just, the proper thing. If they (meaning the political organizations which threatened him with an ovation) wish to hold a jubi lee—if the result of the election pleases them —let them parade, fife and drum away ; only I hope they will not disturb me, or require me to take any part in the proceedings.” The Attendance op Witnesses at Courts-Martial —The following order received from the War Department, was yesterday published from the headquarters of the Army, for the information and government of all concerned : The Attorney General of the United States having given his ofiieial opinion that the power conferred upon a judge advo cate of a court-martial or court of inquiry by the twenty-fifth section of the act ap proved March 3d, 1863, to issue the like process to compel the attendance of wit nesses before such military court as is issued by the local courts of criminal juris diction, includes also the power to execute such process through some officer who shall be especially charged with its cxecu eution : It is ordered , That judge advocates of’ military courts who may hereafter issue such process to compel the attendance, as witnesses, of persons not in the military servico, f'ortnaily direct the same ly name, to some military officer, who shall be designated by the department commander as available for the purpose; and the nearest military command will thereupon furnish a sufficient force for * the execution of the process whenever such force shall be actually requird.

The Vote op Wisconsin.-—At the last Congressional election before that of Tuesday, the Radicals carried Wisconsin by an aggregate majority of uytv twenty three thousand- This year i’atue has lost 3,564, Hopkins has lust a few hun dred, Sawyer has lost nearly or quite 2,000 ; while Hidridge, the taiepted 'and faithful member trom the Fourth District, has now carried his district by probably 4,500, against 2,984 two years ago—a gain in that district of over 1,500. Thus in four of the six Congressional districts the Democracy gain nearly 7,OQD, sjupso. the Iqst election involving national issues. The returns front t'qa' &yser two. <U str > cts are not vqt caisplpts to determine the rife cd' yain or loss in the balance of the State ; but those already received are sufficient to indicate a loss to Radicalism since 1868, in the entire State, of nearly or quite 10,000. The relative loss o£ tit* Radicals, as measured by the comparative per centage of the total vote cast in 1866 and 1868, will show more palpably the waning strength of the dominant psrt" ye this State. The aggregate yu-g; of this year is probably lefgcr by tens of thousands than the vote of any previous year. In Milwaqkie county the total vote’ of 186 b was less than 10,000-in 186.8 it 15,000. — Mihcaukie News, Alabama's, Contribution to the CAKiCiOjj’iljE “Golden Hoax.”—Selma, Alabama, is a big cotton point.

The Negro Vote in Tennessee.— NashviUe, November 7. —The large negro vote for the Democratic candidates at the late election surprised both political parties.

In the fall of 1867 I was taken with cbRU and fever, with the most pains iq tLy chest and head, it was with greht diffi culty that I could breathe. My lungs were greatly distressed, and there was severe pain in my right side, by spells. J could hardly get up from my bed. I called a doctor, who attended me all winter with out the least benefit. About the first of August I commenced using your Planta tion Bitters—a wine-glasefuil three times a day—and have used it most of the time since, and lam now weil and strong, able to do all my own work and the care of a large family.

London, Tuesday, November 10. —The Times to day has an editorial article giving the basis of the settlement and the present status of the questions at issue between the United States and Great Britain. A mix ed Commission,consisting of two members from each nation, will be appointed to ad judge all questions arising since 1853—the date of the last Commission. England’s responsibility in the matter of the Ala bama claims will be referred, to Urus.ia for arbitration. If the decision is ia tavor of America, the Commission will then inves tigate the claims. America has withdrawn ; the question of the recognition of the Southern States by Great Britain during the war. The San Juan business will bo | referred to the President of SwitzerLmJ | for arbitration. London, Tuesday, 10 — i There is the higher; to believe that the statement aS He Convention made for ikysmoetnetn of the Alabama claims, published in the Times this morning, is in correct, The fourth article td' the Con vention, to which the Timts particularly refers, reads, in fa»t, as follows : “The Ccus»aiißsioiierß shall have power to ad/idioate upon the class of claims re ferred to in the official correspondence, be tween the two Governments as Ala bama claims ; but befor-y any of’ such claims are taken laia consideration by them, the tv»a high contracting parties shall fix v,paa some sovereign or head of a frieadty State as an arbitrator in respect of such elaiins, to whom such class of oßims shall be referred in case the Commission' ers shall be unable to come to an unani mous decision upon the same.” This opens every question involved in those a'aims, whether that of the right of the English Government to acknowledge the South as belligerents, or any other. The Times speaks of distinguished pub licists whose judgments will aid the Ring of Prussia. These are doubtless Gessnicr and Heffter, both leading writers on in ternational law and engaged in the Berlin Administrations (theformer in the Foreign Office',, who have since the war advocated the American views of pending questions. They concurred in the time in pronouncing the seizure of Mason and Slidell justifiable, and denounced the selfishness of British principles cf neutrality. SIGNIFICANT SPEECHES BY MR. REVEPvDY JOHNSON AND MR. DISRAELI. London, Tuesday, Nov. 10. —The Lord Mayor of London gave a banquet at Guild hall last night. Among the guests present were Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli and Hon. Reverdy Johnson, the American Minister. In the course of his reply to a toast, Mr. Johnson said: “I have been greatly criticized for the manner in which I have received and offered civilities while in this country ; but such strictures on my conduct have not affected the negotiations which are in progress. However dissatis fied people here or at home may be, they will find that there is no ground for such a feeling. The questions at issue between my Government and that of Her Majesty are now settled without touching the honor of either nation. If diplomatic negotia tions in the future are carried on in the same spirit, war between England and the United States will be impossible.” Mr. Disraeli made an able speech. Alluding to th ” subject introduced by Mr. Johnson, be sail!: “The removal of our difficulties witli theUnijed States gives good ground ior hone that no future misconceptiou may occur. ’ ’ He reviewed the state of affairs in Europe, and admitted that the superfi cial aspect was threatening, but declared that the Ministry could see no apparent pre'ext for the outbreak of war. Spain. FORTHCOMING TREATIES OF PEACE WITH CHILI AND PERU. Madrid, Tuesday, Nov. 10— The Cor respondencia says there is reason to ex pect that the Spanish Government will at an c-arly day conclude treaties of peace with Chili and Peru. It attributes the happy result to the mediation of the United States, and to the sympathy aroused in Spain in consequence of the desolation of Peru and Chili by the recent earthquakes. General News.
