He has published his “Antes et Paroles,”bn: has changed all exclamations of dis sent and derision accompanying the report of his speeches to “bravo," “explosion of applause,” "loud burst of laughter,” and so forth. -• The New York Sun says: “The more that wo learn about the whis key frauds in St. L mis, the more ap parent becomes the fact that they have been carried on with the full knowledge of high officials in Wash ington, who have protected the rogues engaged in the conspiracy against the public treasury.” The Viceroy of Egypt, who hns earned by repeated acts of magnanim ity a place among the noblest of mod ern rulers, has lately shown, in a striking manner, the greatness and unselUshnesa of his character. The sum of $65,000 having been appropri ated to erect a monument to him, he used the monument to found u pub lic. school at Alexandria. Silvzh Resumption. -The scheme for silver resumption has been de ferred until after the meeting of Congress in December in order that the law may be modified by further legislation. The resump tion of specie payments in 1873 will have to be deferred for the same rea son, viz: The impracticability of tin* scheme. For tho throe years, 1870, 1871 and 1873, there were in New York 363 sui cides, 133 of whom were Germans. Of that number also 275 were males and 81 females, tho age of the oldest b( f ing eighty-six, and of tho youngest ten. Tho months in which self de struction was most prevalent were those of summer, August furnishing more than twice as many suicides as December. Of the occupations rep resented clerks figured most largely. Carl Schurz has not, as has been erroneously reported in tho Western papers, taken up his residence per manently in New York. lie has only established his family here for the winter, that he may have a more con venient headquarters during his lec turing tour. Meantiino he Is doing more worn upon Ids paper, the Hi. Louis Wcstlieho Post, than lie has been able to do for some years past, and Ids strong articles on the politi cal situation and the duty of good citizens, independent of party, are having wide circulation throughout the German press of the oouutry.

Tub Epizootic—A Novel Remedy.— A New Hampshire paper says that the spoedieat way to cure the epizoot ic and make a horse thoroughly hap py is to give him onions. In proot whereof the ease of a Portsmouth horse is cited, which had a severe at tack of the disease, und his owner placed a dozcu onions in his crib regular food. The horse nickeled three of the onions immediately, and by the time he had swallowed them began to cough ami sneeze and prance about aopenring quite iudig nant and refusing to touch the re maining onions. For full live min utes he wept at the nose, and then— he was a cured horse. He has not had a cough, a sneeze, nor any sym|>- tom of the epizootic since, but lie did not have the courage to eat tho onions remaining in the crib the next day after the cure. Gen ral G o.ten nail thJ Atlanta Coin* Montreal, ii. We confess that we like Independ ence wherever wo llnVflt, when tnde is-n.luncc is based on honest convic tions. But the kind of independence which excited our admiration in the Atlanta Commonwealth relative to the trickster, H. I. Kimball, is chang ed to a coutrufy scut intent, when we see in the sumo paper no unnecessary and harsh criticism of Gen. John B. Gordon. We have lived to see his tory falsified already too much to tie a worslrip|s.T of men ; but if any Geor gian could command hero-worship from Georgians, that man would be John B. Gordon. The whole South is justry proud of our magnanimous soldier-statesinaii. Georgia is espe cially proud of him, and freely gives to him the foremost place among her public men. It may bo that the almost constant demands made upon him have caused hint to "stale his presence before the vulgar herd,’’and sometimes reporters may exaggerate tils remarks. “Speech is xilvern, but si leave is golden ,” says tin old adage ; but. who that lias spoken in helmlf of the South since the war, has wielded :t hotter or vaster influence titan Gen. Gordon ? His reputation is already national. In his case, Indeed, “A prophet is not without honor save at his own home,” &e. The simplicity of his manners makes him easily ac cessible to all; bis known liberality makes iiirn ever ready to extend ills purse to aitl the needy; yet Ids views upon Unauce and political policy have, thus far, proved in accord with tlic masses of Ids people. Tite shafts of envy seek an invul nerable target when they are directed against Joint B. Gordon. If personal wealth and tho capacity to make and keep riches bo the only criterion of wisdom and merit, where would Thomas Jefferson appear ? Was Mr. Jefferson more successful in accumu lating riches titan Geh. Gordon has l>eoti V Away, then, with these Igno ble attacks. Let Georgians not seek to traduce the fidr fame of her great est soldier and well tried Senator, but let us unite, “each ono for all and all for each one.” The Atlanta Commonwealth stands isolated in this ungenerous criticism of Gen. Gordon. Lilxr.u. Wo clip tiio fallowing interesting statements from tho Sail Francisco Morning Call: Liberia was founded by the Amer ican Colonization Society ns a free colony for the blacks in lHjo, For tt time it was prosperous, but never to the extent that was hoped and predicted for it. In IHI7 it was declared an independent State, and as such was recognized iu the year following by Great Britain. Its form of government is republican, mod elled after Uintttf the United States, with the exceptions that no white man can become a citizen, and no colored citizen vote unless lie is the holder of a certain amount of teal estate. Monrovia is the capital town and is located on the coast. It is also the principal port of entry. The na tive population tinder the jurisdiction of tiio Republic, previous to tite American civil war, was estimated at 360*000, comprising ft variety of tribes, of whom the principal are the Kroon, the Golahs, the Veys and the Dcys. The American Africans numbered about 10,000. Since tite abolition of slavery in this country there have been but few additions to the colony by emi gration. The consequence has been a falling hack by tite people into habits of indolence and barbarism. They have print ing presses, churches, colleges, scliool-ltousoH, and have en joyed a steady trade fn such articles as form the commerce of their terri tory—rosewood, teak, mahogany, sassawood and a large number of ol Iter native productions, wit lull lots lately greatly fallen off. They also exported several valuable dyes and medicinal herbs, oils ami roots, wlille the production of sngar-cauc was considered their staple article of domestic trade, in which, for a time, they drpvtui thriving business, o|s*r ittlug a dozen or more sugar mills in the territory, and (jivingemployment to a large force of me iff J.-n.Hii Credit. The Hebrew Ledger defends the cr*•>iit of the Jews, and says of the re cent, failures; Have any Hebrew Duncan .S: Sltcr mli failed?. Have the Seligmnns gohe by the Board? Has itelmont suspended? Have the Rothschilds failed to meet their engagements? I,'hese are representative Hebrew traders, and hut a group of them, 'throughout the great city of New York there are hundreds of swell Hebrew tlrms. It is impossible that in the vast seltelue of Hebrew trading it) New York failures do not und shall not occur; but that they are ehietly cliaraeterizetl by honorable dealing and a voluntary stteriliee of nil the unfortunate men of business have, to their creditors. An instance comes to our mind of the failure of a large firm recently, of whose commercial morality no one at any time has pre tended any doubt. In this ease the father of the head of the firm, al though not liable for one cent of in debtedness, contributed between half a million and a million of dollars to reiKiv its creditors. This is an cx ampie of 'Hebrew dealing which many Christians might follow with protit to themselves—and with profit to their creditors, too. And by the way, there is not an Israelite in Columbus who lias been accused of either usury or extortion. Not one is a money-lender. The .Veil hiieukrr. Thb Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes: "The contest tor the speakership will soon assume a more active form, or tit le ist will attract more attention. Randall expeots the nomination on the first ballot, in the Democratic Cox thinks the contest is between himself and Kerr. Kerr has sense enough not to boast of his prospects. Fernando Wood is by no means out of the contest. While these Hemoerurie magnates are eon lid' nt of seizing the office, lesser lights, such as Milton Sayler.Hilbert C. Walker, General Ranks, and pos sibly some others, tire held in re serve for compromise candidates. Kerr is the most üble and honest of the candidates, and Banks is the best tit ted to preside. Randall is the best parliamentarian, excepting Banks, and Walker is the best look ing of the eandidates. The exigen cies of polities and the ambitions of presidential oanddiateswill probably nictate a man who will not become too prominent as speaker, and there fore troublesome, someone not yet mentioned may be finally selected as a compromise between all interests.” xiohi:Anotrr run -r in: nu: im iiv [ Any who may have misconstrued , the reports in the matter, by think ing that they Involve any Imputation , against Cof. Jones' character, are i mistaken, THE EXECUTIVE ORDER : In the case, referred to in yesterday’s I report, exhibits the true status of | the matter and enn be relied upon as revealing all that is involved in the Governor's action. It will he seen that litis order recites the reasons which flic Governor had for his no tion and that the paper is not such a one us should necessarily give t In slightest offense It probably does not. The following is the order: Executive Department, j State or Georgia, } Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 15th, 1875. ) Whereas, Tlic examination of the condition of the Treasury, thus far made under direction of the Gov ernor by joint resolution of the Gen eral Assembly, bv James F. Boze man, assisted by James W. Warren. .Secretary of the Executive Depart ment, discloses a state of tilings which excites great apprehensions i hat the public inteiest may suffer injury from rite failure of the Treas urer lo account fully and satisfacto rily for the public money which lias gone into Ids hands since ho came into office; and, Whereas, it has come to the knowl edge of I tie Governor t hat ;w<> oft lie sureties upon the official bond of the Treasurer deny their liability there on ; and Whereas, Information bus come to the Governor that another one ot said sureties has departed this life, and Itis estate will soon have been fully administered noon-, and that still anot tier of said sureties has become financially embarrassed; and Whereas, The examination of the tax digests in the office of the Comp troller General discloses the fact that t he remaining sureties on the bond of the Treasurer do riot return taxable property in value to the amount of said bond; and Whereas, By section 170 of the last revised code of Georgia it is male the duty of the Governor when surety to any bond given by any officer for the performance of any piibliediity shall, in the opinion of t he Governor, form ed upon satisfactory evidence, be come insufficient to require of such officer anew bond and surety; utid Whereas, It is the opinion of the Governor, formed aforesaid, that the surety upon the bonds of the Treas urer lias become insufficient, and that the Treasurer should not be al lowed to receive, have possession of and disburse public money of the State without giving new bond and surety in tire terms of the law; it is, therefore. Ordered, That John Junes, State Treasurer, do execute anew bond with sufficient surety in terms of the law in sue it cases made and provided. Given untier my hand and the seal of tite Executive Department, at the Capitol, in Atlanta, the day and year above written. [Seal.] J. M- Smith, Governor. By the Governor: J. W. WltllikN, Sec. Ex, Department. The above order wus officially scrv- j ed upon Col. Jones on Monday, ITTTUIIF. DEPOSITS of the inoneisof the State wore at | once arranged for as the above order j made necessary, and by agreement, j if correctly stated, the Citizen’s bank | was selected by Coi. Jones as the de pository ami the certificates of each day’s deposits to lie handed to the Comptroller General at the end of that day. Of course this arrange ment is only temporary, anu will cease so soon as the new bond is pre sented, approved and tiled. the oovEjtxon’s nemos in the matter are understood to he wholly to protect tlie public interest ami to faithfully discharge the obli gations resting upon him. Bo far as can be ascertained he is upon good terms with the Treasurer and honest ly desires to see the new bond made, much preferring that arrangement of the matter than to have the treasury vacated b., the incumbent, COL. JONES HAYS that lie does not care to say what he will or riot do, but will let itis actions speak for themselves. It is general ly believed that lie will experience no difficulty in making the bond and luruishiug the surety in the terms, of tlie law und within the specified lime. It will be noted t.lmt Col. Jones, in the siiort interview with him, pub lished yesterday, stated ; “Ten days are allowed me wherein to furnish new security. This l expect to do without difficulty, and in a few days expect to at range a bond which will be perfectly satisfactory to all parties concerned.” THE OPEN QUESTION concerning the liability of Messrs. Nutting and Grunt, who are upon the first bond, .the temporary bond, so claimed will doubtless have to lie settled ill the courts of tlie Stale, but (lie rumor thin any action had al ulready been taken ts not verified by the records of the courts hero. This matter will doubtless rest until after the present situation is disposed of ami any reports to be made to the Legislature shall have been acted up on. THE INVESTIGATIONS heretofore and now being made by the Governor and others, under his direction and by authority of a joint resolution of the Legislature are in no wise connected with the present proceeding. Any report based upon those investigations will be made to and considered by the Legislature. It is understood that Dr. Bozeman has already prepared in part, if not wholly, the report of liis operations, und that it is in the Executive office. His report, however, it is stated, re lates to the matters that were before the Inst session of the Legislature, and is, therefore, not a document re lating in any way to the present af fair. The declaration of the Consti tution reporter of his ability to make “a startling sensation” was not intended to beapplied in toto to the present ease, but hiuted at matters held in abeyance and which relate to other affairs with which the debt is connected. As we should have said: “After due consultation over tiie matter in hand, and the ad ditional iusentive of serving the pub lic good, at the proper time Governor Smith will reveal it, and we tell all to you that we know." The misman agement and gross negligence refer red teas having been discovered by our officials, when in New York, per tained to the handling of the State’s finances, but a metathesis of para graphs brought the statement iutoan unintended collocation. Upon all these subjects the Governor is at work with his usual energy and per sistency, and, of course, "in dealing with them lie is not the man to rely upon a sentimental belief that the | kid-gloves tHiliey should win the day.” The above contains all our present 'Understandings or the Treasury and general financial affairs of the State. Atlanta Constitution, 17th. Clean Cp and l oad Your Ptsiols. The wholesale robbery of cotton, hog , chickens, and every other arti cle of value in the country, by lazy and villainous negroes, demands IHK IHHhb. jfjHnLtt, MtfMßfati \B, m. some more potent treat mem than the tortuosities of the law can afford. Farmers give their laborers one-half lof all they make, and not content j with that, they seem bent upon steal j dig the other half'. In Lee, Dougher ty, Baker, Terrell, Randolph and other counties the evil Ims grown to be ruinous and insupportable. It is there actually a question of bread and existence, to tin; planters. As usual, since the war, Ibese dep redations are effected Through tin aid and inlerrcurion of while men, who run gin mills and variety simps at nearly every cross-road in the country. The principal revenue ot tin-.sc costermongers is derived from Stolen seed cotton, corn, rice, Wool, peas, potatoes, and all the other pro duels of the faint. They drive tlieii unholy vocation all through the night, and the greater the darkness anti tin- harder the rain, tho more certain tun) profitable their harvest. Without owning!! square loot of land or planting one seed of cotton, main •>t t hose shopkeepers pack and send to market Irmit one to three hundred bales every season. And of this amount it is safe to assert tlmt Itco thirtle in-long rightfully to the plait!- ers, or in other words, ure stolen property. Ol late, tin- robberies have- become so universal and alarming that w hole counties are moving to suppress them and if the law cannot In- made effective for that purpose, stronget measures will lie resorted to. Indeed, in some instances this lias ulready been done, lint such remedies are as bad as the disease, and may itmugu ran- reprisals Jn the shuts-of blood shed and incendiarism. On one point, however, every honest white man should he fully agreed. When the depredator, white or black, Is caught in jlagranle tle.iwtn— in the very act —let gunpowder and ballets settle the matter on the spot, then awl there. Slniot the miscreants, and do God and tlic country service by purging the land of tlio-e who, if allowed lull scope to t heir villainy, will make a desert of it. Ever since their investiture with tie* rights of citizenship and suffrage, tile negroes, ns a class, have been i hievish and uruly. The absence of forcible restraints, and the necessity of actual proof to make out a case in the courts, have given to crime nu utilizing impunity. They operate wtille others sleep, and of <•, mr .e can not always tie detected. But even as itis, not. one in fire of the cases of theft are reported and prosecuted, yet every jail in the country is tilled with black offenders, and additional criminal courts for their trial and punishment have been found indis pensable. That new Institution, tie chain-gang, 100, tins sprung tin in ev ery county and village, and go where you will, there is Sambo in fetters, digging away in tin- streets, and seemingly jolly and happy. No disgrace attaches to imprison ment In the estimation of these na tural thieves, and goon quarters and rations, and light work, go very fm with the majority to compensate for the deprivation of personal liberty. Not to travel beyond our individual experience, to show tlint tin- above language has not in the least been exagcrateil. the writer has only to make the following statements from his own standpoint: ■Since tin- war, while a resident, of Cuthbert, Itis horse was stolen from tin-stable and never recovered. In n single night in- lost every turk-y, ilte-U mid chicken on Ins premises; had a valuable milch cow just about to calve killed and bu (Tier ed within tlfty rods of the settlement on Ids farm : had a chest, in his own bel-chamber, containing thirty dollars in specie, opened ami rifled ; his corn-crib robbed of a large amount of grain : giri-lmuse entered and live hundred pounds of cotton stolen, the thieves and their plunder being captured within a few puces of the building; hud his garden fence torn down and a whole wagon load of rnia-baga tin nips carried off three hales of packed cotton an Ia i valuable mule spirited away to Flor ida from Itis Baker plantation—forty head of sheep, and all save five of two hundred head of hogs, stolen from the same place; and liunity, his store, printing office, and merchan dise worth :?7.ihki, burnt, by a negro for plunder, who was afterward ar rested near Columbus—Macon Telo grnph.

Two little sons ot the owner of the house to he raised saw the chickens thus guillotined, and during the day concluded to re peat t lie operation. It was just at a time when the men were lifting a heavy log into place. The father, who was holding one end of the log. easting his e\es toward the little fid lows, one of whom had the axe raised to sever the neck of his brother, let go the log to save the boy,and it fell, killing six men—two instantly, the others living only a few hours.
