WILUAMI, - - Tk* Tli> OB* _ i. tn non*r> mmatnr (op mtrfi, .rrmTOTr LARGEST daily oiroulation read la the light, of their subsequent of eon current act*, exhibit, the Hub* limity of impudence. There is so ~itsfca*‘<:ri:at!<:jr in practice, and so much profession in sentiment, that we .of tie South at least, haring un dergone bo sad an experience in tiio first, are ooeustomed to listen to the latter only in deepest disgust. These feelings were of spontaneous growth when, within a day or two post, In looking over some old files, ear eye was directed to the following paragraph from an address delivered by that paxegjter of patriotism, hon esty (?) and broad philanthropy, lan if/tulfit 'Wllllanis ; otherwise known as George H. Williams, Attorney Gen- 1 oral of the United States. The occa sion was the formal dedication and transfer of the Exhibition Grounds to the Commissioners for the Centen nial Anniversary, which transfer was made on July 4tn, 1873. The speaker is described, in the account of It, os a man imbued with national pride, (God savo tho mark!) and his great soul, pregnant with oeiestial fire, unburdened itself as follows ; “Ua© hundred years ago the old Continental - “ Congress assemblod |ip Philadelphia. Washington, Ad * mbs, Franklin nhd Henry were there. Mighty events ware conceived in their deliberations. They discussed ques tions ‘big with the fate of empire.’ Patrick Henry, apjiealing to that TJMjigrGSs Cor union, said, 'The dis 'tfnotion between Pennsylvanians, Virginians, New Yorkors and New Englander* b#o mom’; and, rising mi highlit fl|tch •of dloqucaca, he exclaimed, T am not a Virginian, but lam an American. ’ Let us nope that the spirit of that Congress may de scend upon the Centennial Anniver sary. Let the people dome down from the Bt. Lawrence and the Lakes; let them como from the Rio Grande and the Gulf; lot them come from tho Valley of tho Mississippi and the shores of the Pacific- but let them come not filled with State or soetiomil pride and jealousy, but ns Washing ton, Adams and Henry oame, remem bering only that they are Amer icans.” Now in cool, calculating, imper turbable impudence, cun anything | possibly ejeeed that—except it bo u lecture commendatory of ofllciul pu rity from “boss” Tweed, of personal honesty from lien Butler, of human ffy from Sherman or Sheriduu, or of | chastity from Victoria IVnodhull or .Tosle Maufilleld? Tho Imritatiqß is, to the llio Grande and the flu If- the people on the ope, which was purchased as a Mexican boundary through costly offerings of, blood, being besought to thank the destroyers of their new-born liberties; tho citizens of four States bordering on the other, now in this tho ninoty-pjnth year ,of American Independence, trembling lest they lose the writ oinbodying tho lust frail nemnant of their own. The qnco blooming shores washed by the majestic Mississippi aro asked to rejoice over their desolation ; and the hind of Washington and Henry, dismembered and dishonored, is expected to meet, as In sisterhood, to caress tho “bustard offspring” of her ayrrt political rape, and “Bless the hand that doomed so dear a death." No f away with the Centennial twaddle. Whon the South has breathed ono full good year of real liberty when she is in good faith recognized as part and parcel of the natioii- she may refuse to recall, if she can not quite forgive, the past, amt may hed the invocation to glorify the century of greutness attained by other sootApns more fortunate, Indeed, but less deserving. Another Valwhaol. . The estunste of a yorresuoudout of this journal that there ore at this time no less than two huudmi tliyuwuid uicu in organ izations, under arms and very busily en gaged in drilling throughout the south, in going the rouaih of the press, and attracts no little attention.— National Hrjmblicim. Tho abovo slander is just now going the rounds of the Radical press, such as tho kitchen organ. The charge is known by every one in the South, black and wbito, to be an infamous lie, manufactured out of whole cloth. There are no more white than colored military organizations In tho South, and as for there being any war spirit In these military companies it, is too ridiculous to need comment. It is but a fair sample of how we are maligned by these infernal men who come among us ns correspond ents of these Northern papers. They aro frequently welcomed cordially by the people, introduced to our fami lies, and then leave with a secret pur pose to vtllify tho South and abuse t lie hospitality extended them. Th.-> shotrtd is the fntnre be SvStfcHfd anil shown no courtesy, f<* our courtesies are unappreciated and abused.

The mairi point was, to give a settled ami definuud government to ■ the country,.and tfie next, U. select the licpibiii (us fulfilling that end. i It was usoless struggling for any ideal; t besides, ideal governments are not of • this world, thrti tho all or nothing i policy bolongs to lovers and school > boys, not to practical men having to ; deal with complex motives and op . posing Interests. Nothing wiser than i to accept by Instalments tho ens4es i sion of tho whole. Had Honri V. made the necessary concessions, he i might be to-day reigning over us. He i resolved to abide by his white flag, , which may be beautiful, but is cer ; lately not political, so he is allowed 1 to enjoy it as his winding sheet. He the Third Bepubllc more incomplete than It Is cvep, It Is at ©ll averts neither Monarchy nor Empire, am I ihat artfiii•es Mr n fiafioir Whging to be free from Pretenders; then the rage of the latter’s partisans, at the , country at last possessing an organ ized constitution, is tho best measure i of their defeat. Tho incongruities that now exist in the present form of government can bo corrected in 18S0 when the disappointed shall have been reconciled to un accomplished tact, for the Republic will but reject its enomies, and will only distrust wolves i u sheep’s clothing. Anew Ministry wilf lie the Mmpletement of the new' constitution, anil then the nation can work in peapp, confidence, and security; also it may lx?expected to continue to display the sotne model sugaeil y as it has done during tile last four years. It is under tho tegis of the people that the Republic lives. Strange coincidence, It was in Febru ary, 1848, tho Republic overthrow the Orleanists.-nnd almost day for day, lu February, 1875, we see the Orleanists permanently voting the Republic. late dinners are said to be one of the chief causes of the decline of the drama In Paris, and the question is bolng ugltated of returning to the in stitution of suppers, so dear to socie ty of tho eighteenth century. The favorite dinner hour at present, is be tween seven and eight, more general ly the hitter hour; it Is nine o’clock before tho meal is finished, a cup of coffee drunk, and u cigar puffed; and somewhat about, half-past nine ere one is in their place in the theatre. And in what condition; a stomach full, and a head heavy, acted upon by the limited atmosphere of tho build ing, and which do not permit such a spectator to give more attention than to il single air or to the ballet. Men under these circumstances, if not a boa, is the slave of his digestive Or- 1 guns, where matter has temporarily conquered mind. It is certain that the greatest works of dramatic art have been represented before fasting audiences; tho Athenians, nourished upon black olives and dry tigs, may be said never to have dined; the Ro mans attended the theatre in tho day time, and beforo the usual hour of! moil's ;lt was the same in England during the time of Shakspoare, and in Franco pending the epoch of Oor nclUu and Racine. Binoe 1789, sup pors as an institution are dead in France, and society is not likely to bo reconstituted on that basis, j although it exists in Ht. Petersburg, Vienna, Berlin, and Italy. Then j Parisians like to go to bed late; an j hour before midnight and an hour after It, is tho favorite time for a stroll along the Boulevards. It is im possible to dine at, six, when the As sembly, which after all is tile grand dictator, does not rise till that hour, to enable Deputies to return to Paris; lienee, why no manager ever serious ly thinks of producing the groat at traction of the evening before nine o’clock, and it is not till half an hour later, that “all Paris” will find iteolf la the dress circles. Theatres ordi narily open at eight, with a smart one act, Vauderville, known as 7 ever tie ri dcaii. No, Pare* in ns will adhere, to their arrangement of two dinhi-rs dai ly, with an afternoon cup of tea for bitters: all that can he done for the drama is to prevent the dinner hour from becoming later. Frederic Boulic was a most popular novelist and dramatist, who exiieri enced tho extremes of misery and for tune. It was ever a subject of aston ishment why no monument was erect ed to his memory, since his death in 1847. As his sister inherited tho in terest iu liis writings, amounting to M.ooof. at least (sir year, liis rights of author in his drama the Cluaerie tics (toilet* alone annually nets a,000f., it was felt she ought to display the nec essary gratitude; after some 27 yours of reflection it apiiears she consented to defray tho expenses of a very' pret ty tomb, a kind of granite pyramid, with a medallion-likeuess of the au thor, fairly truthful, in bronze by Clesingor, ami au open book, with a bonier of palms, also in bronze, on which is inscribed the names of his chief works. The Society of authors has just sitjverintended the exhuma tion of Soulie’s remains, a mass hav ing been celebrated, and followed by the usual speeches; the weather was 1 certainly very inclement, which may , uooount for the absence of literary! celebrities; not an actor was present, j Soulie occupied his last moments die-; 1 taring to his private Secretary, a poem to coming Death; this latter lie so: fully expected, that a few hours lie-! fq*e expiring ho had himself dressed j in grave clothes, to receive the visi-! tor com me U/aitl; in this position he bid adieu to liis friends, and, after shedding a few tears, quietly expired. Army roorjfaiuaatiou is making some progress; thus a decree has boon published regulating the details of military executions; the execution party must aim at that part of the culprit’s body between the elbow and the sluHtildqjfj the eyes of tho con doaneff must be Randaged. It Is to bSegrotri I tiatono humane ciroum ■ UMicc lias born overlooked, that of itfiing the twelve muskets of the flr- Uippnrty in-tmdra manner as to have two charged only with blank cart ridge. It is no secret that many <J the aoldiers ptoced pt six .yards ,from Mte condemned, feef HI m the pres ent** of the task duty isi[x" on them. A m*liWw writer on jeot flutes' tli*t the Maytfroid display- j 'edViy culprits, is Bio consequence of stupor and agony, producing at onoc physical and moral Insensibility. It is a common observation, fully borne out yiending the Commune and its consoqnenoes, that civilians when kneeling uguinst the fatal stake, ex hibit more of this sangfroid than sol diers similarly placed. The Wlmpffen triul lias now pushed from it* tribunal to the historical stage. Tho Bonapartlat editor, de Cassugnac, culled General Wlmpffen a traitor and a coward, and the jury acquitted him, believing the words to liave been used in a metaphorical sense. Since the verdict, the Impe rialists believe that “damned spot,” Sedau, has been washed out of the Second Empire, but the contrary ef fect lias resulted. Napoleon himself, in hi* letter to Sir John Burgoyne, admits that “political considera tions,” not strategy, compelled hits to march on Sedan. From the open ing of the campaign, till the capitu lation of the Emperor, all was in fu vorof those considerations, and which meant., pr<-nervation of effete dynasty. There was no more plan for battle at Bedan than at any other stage of the campaign; it was a fighting in the dark, and trusting for good luck to turn up. (Sedan was only the logical defeat of anterior faults. Najxdoon I. never permitted capitulation in full oumi>aign; soldiers are. only to be made prisoners in fighting, and sov ereigns, like King Jean and Francois 1., to lie taken arms in hand. He also maintained that more soldiers dio in captivity than would by hold ing out. The nrmy of Metz lost 3,000 men killed In battle, 15,000 died in the German caiulw. The belief is taking possession of the public mind, that the Era[>ress, and her War-Min ister of the fifth class—Faliuko, mere ly used the army of Bedan as an escort for the Emperor to any plaee of safety, provided he did not enter I‘arls. He wu* positively exiled by his own gov ernment. At two o’clock on the day of .Sedan, the Emjieror refused to fol low Wlmpffen, in an attempt to cut his way through the Germans; ho feared to be taken ; at half past two, he ordered the white flag to be run up. Now during this half hour, the Emperor had the idea to ily in dis guise as a peasant, but the plan had to be given up, as M, Petit, a local in spector of forests, could not bo found to guido him. Tlie humane motives alleged to have actuated the Emi>eror in capitulating, do not carry much weight in France, where the man who mowed down the citizens on tho Bou levards for ids coup d’etat is not for gotten ; besides, it was before declar ing unjustifiable war against Germa ny, his humanity ought to have como Into play. Brlxltnm Young. The Mormon Prophet in liis old ago, has fallen upon evils never con templated iu his early days. Lately ho was brought before a Methodist Judge, and was fined twenty-five dol lars and sentenced to a day’s impris onment.. The old man’s contempt | consisted in a steady refusal to pay ; his dear Ann Eliza’s lawyers their j fees in tiie time prescribe. After a j little consultation, Brigham conclu ded to pay down the little sum of three thousand dollars, and dis claimed any contempt for the court, anil then retired to his cell. His case will bo appealed. If each of Brig ham’s wives who wish a divorce, will employ lawyers to obtain them at three thousand dollars a ease, the old man will bo bankrupt and his numerous children left lieggars. Jimnaste ri Georgetown, D. C. The jubilee of the holy years is now in progress at Trinity (Catholic) Church, Georgetown, under the aus pices of Rev. Father J, B. Eding and A. Cpppens, missionary priest. This fest ival occurs once in every twenty five years. Denary indulgent*- is granted from Rome, and lasts a whole year. The present jubilee will last for fifteen days, during which services will be heki daily. Mr. Jeffkbsox Davis loft Vicks burg for New Orleans on Tues day evening, and tho Herald says of him : "His step Is firm and elastic, his eye is bright, his cheek- wear the ruddy hue of health and the pressure of his hand is as strong and warm as in the happy days gone by. Long may he live to illustrate tiie intellect and manliness of Mississippi’s noble sons.” The Threatened Klchniund Duel. The personal rencontre between Mr. J. A. Coward!n, of the J)i*vatrh, and Mr. A. Fulkerson, of the House of Delegates, resulted in the arrest of the hitter, and Mr. James P. Cow ardin, son of the senior Mr. Cowardin, on a charge of being about to engage in a duel or otherwise break the peace. They were both before a po lice justice Thursday, when, after an investigation, they were placed under bonus in ouo thousand dollars to keep the peace. Tho correspond ence which passed lietween the par ties. evidently on the part of Mr. Cowardin, Jr., meant business, while Mr. Fulkerson declined to recognize him iu the matter unless Mr. Cos war din, Sr., would confess unwillingness by reason of inability or incapacity to seek redress, —l—-—• —A correspondent of the Athens i lUafciininn, writing from Jug Tavern, | tells of an abnormal lamb.
