“tuftrirer. WUWBi:*. UEdROItl SUNDAY MAY 10, 1874. CHATTAROOCHBR ■Ilf. iirMTf- Ikouholl, Babnum and Eaton in Mid to bo tbo moot prominent candidates (or tho Doaoermtic nomination »» United State* Senator (or Connecticut. Tu city of Balsigb, K. C., voted on Konday l**t upon the qneetion of probib- iting the eele of' liquor within her limits, in scoordanoe with (he “local option" law. Prohibition carried the dap bp a small majority, after a lively contest. A dispatch from Memphis, May nth, says that planters from below were in tbo city trying to hire hands, and reported that large numbers ( of negroes were refus ing to work, thinking that the National Oovernment would provide for them. Conn has advanced in Chattanooga. It was quoted at 8fi®87 cents on the wharf, and 90 oenta in depot, on Thursday. The Timet says that these figures are 10 cent* below Nashville prieea—making al lowance for freight we presume. A dispatch from Washington reports that the President and his Cabinet “laughed" over Arkansas affairs, at their meeting on Friday. They ought to have had a “fiddle,"so as to follow more closely the etample of the old Boman Emperor on a similar oooasion. Thu June Term of the Supreme Court of Alabama wilt commence on the first Monday in June. The 4th Division (Har bour, Bullock, do,,) will commence on the 22d of June; and the Sth Division (Lee, Bnssell, Chambers, Maoon, Ac.,) on tbo 29th of June. A MIDNIGHT dispatch of Friday,alluding to the Bepuhlicen Senatorial oaucus of that day on tho Civil Bights bill, says i “It is believed thst the nelt caucus will so amend it a* to elesrly admit of sepa rate eebools, for white and colored ohil. dreo—separate accommodations at hotels and theatres, on condition that equal ad vantages are secured.” A strange political coalition, and one that shows, the strength of new party or ganisations, is reported from Oregon. It is said that tbo Democrats and Republi cans in that State are nnitiog to defeat the “Independents." We are not in formed as to the distinctive principles or objects of the Independents. Ths “aaqutsmoN” which the dispatch es say the Supremo Court of Arkansas has sustained in behalf of Brooks, was made upon the State Treasurer for a part of the contingent fund placed at the call of the Governor. The decision, therefore, goes to the extent of recognising Brooks' au thority to mnko the requisition. Haxtan bad bad lock with his duplicate of the Btato seal of Arkausus, ordered from New York. When it arrived at Lit tle Book, a couple of deputy sheriffs, friendly to Brooks, intercepted it at tbo office of the broker to whom it was as signed, peid $87 express ohargoa “0. O, D. t ” and then seixed the seul, under tbo rriminal law, aa a counterfeiting die. The Montgomery Stale Journal boosts that its party (Republican) have “success- fully captured six of the largest cities'' of the State within the leet few raonthfi, and *<Mb, t4 we shall have an easy task to bury Democracy out of night next November.” We call the attention of the Democrata to the feet that if they go under at nil in tho November fight, they will sink beyond the reech of the hand of resurrection. The grave, we auppose, is dug, aud they must either be buried in It or bury their oppo nents there. Now ie the timo to mnko a * deoiaive fight. Th» New Orleans Times thinks that the loas to the people of Loniaiana by tho flood will exceed ten millions of dollars, and says that the area now under water in variously estimated at from 2,500,000 to 11,000,000 of acres. Good judges estimate that in the three States of Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi the loss to tho cotton oropby the overflow will be L’fiO,- 000 bales, and the iosa ou sugar in Louis iana 510,000 to 40,000 hogsheads. These losaea must involve a vast amount of dis- tress and embarrassment. Advices from Lima to the 1 ith nit. confirm previous reports of the discovery of new end immense deposits of guano in Peru. The examination made by the ofiioera of hor llritannio Majesty's ship Petrel sustains the report# of the Peru vian engineers, both as to the quality and quantity of the guauo. It is calculated that there are at least 7,080,500 cubic me tre* of guano in the different localities in wbioh it Las been traced. Assured of this, Peru considers she has a very large reserve fund to draw against after her debts are paid. A proposition to change the patent system, so as to abolish the monopoly given to the patentee, and to allow any person to manufacture tho invention by paying s royalty of ten per cent. to the inventor, is before Congress, aud is said to be received with favor. It would do good in correcting the abuses of the pres ent patent aysteiu, one of which is sufil- ciently indicated by the reported fact that some of our American sewing machines are sold in England at ono-half the price oharged for them hero, on account of the competition of English machines. The petent laws could also be much amended by refusiog patents to inventions that have no ingenuity in them, or arc too in significant to deserve any exclUBivo rights. Hanky Ward Beiohxb talks in tLis patronising way of tho Pope: 44 1 have a greet many friends in Borne, the Pope among them. He never came to see me, but I would just as lief go to see him as not. He would hardly say I was ortho dox, but I really believe he is orthodox. I would ordain him to preach, and I would let him preaoh here if he asked me. I really believe the old man is a good mta, with Rowe cobwebs in hrn but the; will be brushed away be- Oa the 2»ih of April iho Coni m Mon appointed by the city of Cuinmbna, and conaiatir.g of Judge M. .1. Crawford, Hon. John Mctlhanny, Gol. R. L. Mott, and Major Oalboon, proceeded to Wa»:iogton to auk of Congrexa an appropriation for tba improvement of tbe Chattahoochee. Thie is a work of great neeexaity to tho people of Georgia, Alabama aod Florida in an area of fifty thousand square mil**, and tb*Commission, apart from tha actual and immediate necessity for tbe under taking, was emboldened in its request by tho fact that no appropriation had aver been made bofor* for this purpose by Congress. Next week we will give a number of letters describing minutely the work of tbe Commission, bat here we will lay before our reader* en outline of its work and the raxnlta. Before reaching Washington tbe gen tlemen of the Commission learned, through the press, that tha House Com mittee on Commerce had made its report, aud bad set aside all recommendations for “new work,” under wbioh heed the im provement of the Chattahoochee would come. On Saturday, Mey 1st, they found Congress in session, and at onos want to work to learn what could be done to ac complish their purpose in tbe face of tbe report. They wero kindly reoeived, not only by Mr. Harris and the whole Georgia delegation, but by every man irrespective of section with whom they cento in con tact, and tbe unanimous statement wee, “It is too late to have yonr bill brought before the House, bnt let it originate with tbe Committee on Commerce of the 8en- ato, and meet with favorable considera tion in that body, when we will pledge the earnest support of the House." Enough members were seen to guarantee ita euccoMt, aud then tbe Commission turned its attention to the Senate. Gen. Gordon, fortnnately, wee on tho desired committee, end bis great icfinonce, sec onded by Judge Crawford's acquaintance end tact, gave tbe Commission a favora ble reception and a kindly bearing, boores of Senators were met, sod with few ex ceptions they became at once interested, and promised their support and influence to tbo bill granting sn appropriation of $3(1,000 for tbe improvement of tbs Chat- takoucbce. Tbo whole subject ia now in tbo hands of the Senate committee, with uvery ronsonsblo probability of ita favor- able consideration, and, in this event, the certainty of its passnga in the House. Tbo Commission found that Mr. Wbitaly, from tbo Ilainbridgo District, bad been working for some time (o get an appro- pri ition for the river lower down, and in cluding tbe Flint. He co-operated with the gentlemen from Columbian moat heartily, and be will work bard for tbe now bill till its fate before this Congress is settled. The above gives an outline, of the eondition of tbe Commission's work, bat it gives no idea of tho labor acoom- plishod during tbeir short sojourn in Washington. They worked bard and earnestly, and in this they were encour aged by the oordiul reception met with from men of every section aud party. The bust illustration of the heartinees of this grouting may be gaiued front tbe case of Judge Crawford. This gentleman solved before tho war in Congress with Logan, Conkling, Chandler, Sherman and many other well known Republicans now in tho House or Senate,who are generally known for their atroog Union and pre sumed partisan feelings. Home of tbe Judge's friends thought he would be oold- ly received, and indeed be bad some idea that bis reception would bo calmly digni fied : but his old friendB forgot old polit ical fights, forgot tbe war and politics and met him to use hiB words “with tbo wsrmlb of a brother.” It surprised the Commission to age how torribly confused are the old lines of purty demarcation, aud how inevitable is that breaking up of parties which we have so lon^ asserted was coming soon, and which, for the good of the country, is so much to be desired. The most careless observer could not help noting the growing feeling of affinity between tba Booth and West, which is tha preoursor of a union of seotionB in seventy-six that must swoop to success over old party iinss and worthless party traditions. As this and kindred subjects will be treated of in our correspondence, we will abstain from tho tempting epecula- tion of the future of parties, nnd ssy in conclusion that tbo Commission is mnch indebted to tho newspaper press of Wash ington, which general,.ly opened ita col umns to advooata tbe interests of oar people aud tho improvement of oar noble river. some of them indignantly denounced ! repudiation ia ae; form, bat no vote, of ! wbiuj w« oao find any menu >n, was tuaeu on the question.

Tennessee, like Louisiana and the Car- olinis, has under consideration what is called a “funding” measure, bnt tbe real object of which is to scale the' bonded debt of the State by giving new bonds for tho old ones, at a considerable dis count from tbe face of the latter. This proposition has distracted the Democratic party, and may lead to its defeat at the next general election, A meeting of pol iticians was hold in Nashville last week, to consider this question. We believe that it was attended by both Democrats aud Republicans. Andrew Johnson was iu the city, and it was generally thought that bo was in sympathy with the move ment to form an independent party sup porting the funding measure end other “reforms.” But ho declined to address the meeting when eallod upou, promising to give bis views st some fatare time. The prime mover iu the proposition to form a uew party was Col. Colyar, s well known Democratic politician. He re ferred to tho depression of the farming interest aud to tbe difficulty wbioh farm era experienced in borrowing money, aud quoted from Thomas Jefferson that “no debt sbonld be saddled upon a second generation, and that all people ought to bo freed from debt at the end of every nineteen years, on the ground that those who incurred tho debt were dead.” He said : “This question of taking nil the people make, to pay the interest npon a debt, rises utiove all party considerations, fora long; wo all have got them, in some j They can not bo made to pay it, and they way or another, aud whatever there is in will not pay it." bias that is pnre and trne and right makes I The other gentlemen present did not bia my biotber."

Gee. been talking to a newspaper reporter about the military operations of the war, l and on being asked if be thought it wonld have bean possible for the South to suc ceed under any circumstances, replied: Thera were soma laming points ia the wet whieh, I think, had they been prop erly managed, would have made the strag gle a enow-os. The two greatest disasters were the failure of Gen. Beauregard to follow up the victory at Shiloh, aud of Geo. Bragg to follow up tha victory at ChickautHnga. I look upon tbum aa the decisive fate of our country. I think if ere bad followed np those victories tba South would now have boss an indepan- dent mitior. At ChickHmauga, on Snnday, the root of the Federal army was oomplete. Man- day morning I drove tbe Federal pickets into the town of Chattanooga, when tha enemy wee disorganised, with tbe excep tion of e few brigades. If General Bragg had followed np his viotory on Snndsy night, he could have captured the entire army with little or no resistance. With tbe ceptared horses he oould hove mount ed 20,009 men, including his own cavalry, with which we could have captured Naih- ville and ths State of Tennessee, and could have taken the whole of Keutuaky, end perhaps Cincinnati, before the enemy oould have gotten reinforcements to ebeok ns. Had this bsen done, the back bone of Ihtrwer wood have been broken, end the contest settled in onr favor. Reporter—Bnt do yon think it was pos sible for Gen. Bragg to have accomplished this in the face of tbe difficulties by wbioh be was snrronnded, and in tha fees of each a Urge army 1 General—I think it eonid have been done bed tbe pnranit been kept np on Snndsy night. Tbs Federal troops wars completely pania-stricken, aod were hud dled together among their wagons and oattle, end other pleoes, and were in no mood to fight. I think it was one of tbe greatest dUastera in failing to push on at thst fight. MARKETS. BY TELEGRAPH TO ENQUIRER. Honey nnd Stock Hnvketa. Paris, May 9—Rentes 59 and 52.
