Whittle and and Mr. W. A. Davis were nominated for the Legislature. —The Savannah News says that in Tel fair county most of the oolored vote will be cast for Tiiden and Hendricks, and Colquitt and Cook. —The Thomasvllle Time of the 23d re ports: Cotton continues to open with a perfect rush. Asa general thing, owing to plenty of laborers, the planters are getting It out about as fast us It opens. —Atlanta (X>mmomeealth: Tresurer Ren fro sold Georgia 7’s last weok at 104. The Nutting B's are worth 109. How’s this compared with Jawcross’ statement that •‘Georgia’s finances are in a worse condi tion than ever before. —There are now more than six hundred lunatics in the State Lunatic Asylum. The institution is greatly crowded, and there are between seventy and one hun hundred applications for the admission of patients for whom the authorities are wholly unable to provide room. —Saturday last two Democratic negroes of Albany went out into the country In tending to make speeches to their breth ren upon the political questions of the day, but were not only prevented from speaking, but were beaten, clubbed and trampled upon by Radical negroes. —The Telegraph contradicts rumors of the prevalence of yellow fever in Macon. It says: “Since the prevalence of the fever in Savannah and Brunswick there have been five deaths from the disease In this city—three of which cases from Savannah and the other two from Brunswick. There is not now and never has been a case orig inating in Macon that bore any resem blance to yellow fever.” —Tbs Democratic Convention of Monroe county, composed of district delegatee, was unable to agree In the nomination of candidates for the Legislature. The ma- j jority proposed the names of Messrs. Jef-1 ferson Hogan and James G. Phinizy, while the minority, together with a number of other citizens, suggested the names of Messrs. T. S. M. Bloodworth and B. H. Zellner. The Executive Committee have ordered a primary election on Thursday to make choice between these two tickets. —The Franklin News says there Is a farmer in Heard county who expects to get two dollars per bushel for corn this year for all the corn ho has to spare, and this is his programme: He says hereto fore he had to pay two dollars per gallon for all the corn whiskey he drank. This year a distiller has proposed to give him a gallon of corn whiskey for a bushel of of corn and take all he has to spare. The farmer says he will sit round and drink it up, and thus realize two dollars a bush el for his corn. TKITHN BY A t OI.OKt.D DEMOCRAT At a Democratic meeting at Batesburg, S. C, on the sth inst., there were several col ored speakers, among them one, Tom Wat •an, a bant working field hand. He made a brave speech, and so formulated the situa tion in regard to the colored- peopte of the South that an extract is w ell worth priming. Hit words, of course, are put into shape by the reporter, and this is the extract in ques tion: The Radicals havebeen ruling this Gov. eminent for ten years, and their motto has been “lie, cheat and steal,” and to-day there is no money in the country. My colored friends, we nave to labor hard every day to get bread for our children; we have to go barefooted and in our shirtsleeves. 1 went to Edgefield the other day and went into Lawrence Kain’s (a leading white Radical) palace, and I saw a carriage for his baby that would cost SIOO dollars iu NewYork, and he had a white girl to roll it. When hit wife walked across the floor she was dressed so fine you could hear her “rattling” a hundred yards. I tell you, my colored friends, the Radical party is rotten. They have been ruling thirteen .States, twelve of them have rotted down, and the sills under the thirteenth (South Carolina) are rotted, and it will fall on the 7th of November. There is no such thing as party now; it is honesty butting against rascality, and I tell you rascality has got to get out of the way. I have been voting for the Radical party for the last ten years, and, white folks, 1 will tell you why 1 did it. These here carpet baggers and scalawags came around and told me to give them office, and they would tax von "o that you’d have to sell your land, and then we could buy it. I thought it would fie mighty nice to have a big planta tion, and I voted for them and told them to stick on the tax. They stuck on the tax; they got land, fine horses, fine clothes and plenty ol money, hut I have never got any thing from them yet. I tell yon another falsehood they have been telling the colored folks; they tell us that as soon as the Demo crats get into power they will put us back into slavery. 1 tell you, my colored friends, that it is impossible. The whole world is against slave’rv. The Constitution of the United States forbids it, and the white peo ple could not put you into slavery if they would and they wouldn’t if they could. At the conclusion of his remarks Tom came forward to the front of the stand, and, with all earnestness of his honest soul, cried •out: “All you honest colored men come up here. Give me your hand and God your heart, and let s have an honest government.” A number of colored men were immeuiatetX •enrolled in tie Democratic Club. ItsrthlteK Bank Robbers. St. Paul, Sept. 26.—The dead Northfleid Bank robbers, are Char lie Pitts, Bill Chardwick and Clem Miller. The prisoners are Col. E. Younger, Bob Younger and-A1 Custer, the last named a Texan desperado. THE DAILY TIMES. GRANT’S OPINION. President Grant expressed his opin ion to a Herald reporter, which was published In our columns a few days since. Perhaps tho President hits not given the American people any reason to value his opinions. His views concerning men and measures have generally been of little conse quence. His opinion of the South in 1868 was correct, but he retractod it, or at least pursued a policy wholly at variance from his expressed opinion. He had and expressed an opinion which may be found in his message in 1809, in the simple words: “Let us have peace.” His Southern policy showed how little oontldence he placed iu his own view, and the election in 1874 just follow ing the Louisiana affair showed how little ttie country valued the opinion indicated by his bay onet policy. He had an opinion concerning San Domingo, but all the best men of his own party disa greed with hitn. His prevailing opin ion concerning safe burglaries was indicated by his dining with three accomplices. His opinion of whisky rings has not been regarded as an opinion that would do to tie to. His opinions or men have been more reckless and unreliable than those concerning measures. His opinion of reform is that there is no such thing, and this is an opinion based on his own experience; for, in attempting to carry into effect some opinions, once entertained, concerning oivil service reform, he met with disas trous failure. But, like Jack Bunsby, he has an opinion as is an opinion. It is the retiring President’s opiuiou, that the Democrats will, ir they get into power, bankrupt the country. He thinks they would pay Southern war claims, pension Confederate soldiers, and even consider claims for tlie value ol slaves. There’s vision, there’s an opinion as is an opinion. Such a statement at a ward meeting ora country school house by a tifth-rate politician, might be excusable, especially if the poli tician were uneducated and ignorant of al l the politics of the past ten years. Such an opiniou from a President of tho United States is simply disgrace ful. It betrays the same want of knowledge of the Constitution which he evinced in his message vetoing the Salary bill. The Constitution provides that no rebel debt or claim, and particularly no claim for com pensation for loss of slaves, shall ever beconsidered or paid. The Republican party has spent ton years in the carefully directed effort to bankrupt the country. It has well uigh succeeded. All that iH asked in the South is a restoration of prosper ity. The people of the South, in ac cepting the results of the war. uro willing enough to yield ail claims. Indeed, they make no claims. The losses of the war are part of the ac cepted results nobody cares to reopen or discuss. Gen. Grant’s opinion is puerile and absurd. —Nashville Amer i can. The Republican Pint Against Hie Libert) of luillana. Special Correspondttuee ol the World.l Philadelphia. September 21.—Since my letter of yesterday I have received fur ther corroboration of the facts therein sta ted. Not only has the scheme to carry the the Indiana election by imported repeaters been organized, but some of those who are to aid in the execution of the plan have already left for both Ohio and Indiuna. Both States arc embraced iu the planned and organized attack on the purity of the ballot-box under tbe skilled and scientific leadership of the Philadelphia Republi c ms. The attention of die State and local c immitues in both of those States cannot be called to this plot one day too soon. The scheme is so well matured that it is only by the most perfect organization and the Btationing of watchers at the polling places, not only while the vote is being polled, hut also when it is counted, that it can be defeated. The Republicans have plenty of tools for such work and are pay ing liberally for the right kind of men to execute their plan. This morning I met the gentleman upon whose authority the statements in yester day’s letter were given,and have question ed him closely in regard to the cunning scheme, He not only sustains all of his lormer assertions hut assures me that the parties who have arranged that pro gramme are determined to carry it out, and that in addition to those who are to lie sent Irom this city, pickdd men arc to be sent trom New York and from Pitts burg, and that they are to he paid all ex penses and SIOO each In additiou. It also appears from this same person’s state ment that this scheme was settt illy work ed in Ohio at the election of Hayes and Allen last year, with this variation, the bogus tickets were adroitly dropped into the ballot-box at intervals during the day, instead of waiting until the boxes were being emptied for the purpose of counting. The ballot-boxes in all of Ohio, he asserts, were worked in that manner, and that it was by that process alone that Ilayes was enabled to secure his majority over Allen. The Republicans in portions of Ohio hav ing been initiated in this ara of manipulat ing the ballot-boxes last year, it is not considered necessary to send as many men to that Stale this year, but to turn their efforts to introducing tec science in India na. My informant admits that he visited Ohio last year and helped to instruct some of the local officials in the execution of the Philadelphia scheme, as he calls it, but kept himself out of reach on election day.

Dexter, President B. R. Society. From the Hay add ah NewH of Monday.] The number of interments reported on Saturday is the largest since the appearance of the epidemic, the total being forty-six, of which thirty were yellow fever cases. This sudden and unpected increase of the mortality, with the reports of new cases, includ ing many well known citizens, which were current on the streets, east, if possible, a deeper gloom over our stricken community, and Saturday and Sunday were days of peculiar sadness. The general despondency was, however, somewhat relieved lust evening as tho report for the day be came known, and it was discovered that there was a diminution of just one-half in tho mortality of yester day as compared with the day previ ous, the total interments on Sunday being twonty-three, of which eigh teen were yellow fever cases. With such a favo’rable change we endeavor to be hopeful, but while the sick list is uudittilnisbed, and many eases of well known citizens and friends are regarded as of doubtful issue, we dread the sod disappointment which the next day’s record may bring.

TKLKDKAPHIC SUMMARY. A Madrid dispatch says that the Franklin will take Tweed and Hunt off this week. Nothing is known about Sharkey. Ex-Queen Isabella remains at the Palace Escurial until October. Dr. Charles W. Woodbury, assis tant surgeon of McLean Insane Asy lum, Marylund, was yesterday beat en over tho head, probably fatally, while playing croquet. The weapon was a croquet mallet. The ninth annual meeting of the American Academy of Dental Science was held on Monday at Baltimore. Dr. D. M. Parker was re-elected Pres ident; Dr. George T. Moffett, corres ponding secretary. A dispatch from Sanghai to the London Timex says that Echiug, a city on tho Yangtze river, —— miles above Chin Kiang, and three other ports, are opened to foreign com merce, by treaty soon to be signed. Southern Illinois felt the earth quake on Suuday night -several shocks. Capt. Smith of the schooner Hattie, from Brunswick, Ga., died of yellow fever at quarantine near Baltimore. Tho rest of the crtfWare well. Tho reports of an insurrection in Algeria are contradicted. A dispatch of the 26th from Jack sonville, Fla., denies that there is any yellow fever there, or anything like it. The eity is perfectly healthy. The Greenback State Convention of New York met yesterday. It chose A. A. Corsey temporary Presi dent, appointed committees, nnd took a recess. Sister Mary Martha, of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and Rev. E. H. My ers, Methodist, died at Savannah yes day. The damage caused by heavy rains on the Virginia Midland Bailroad have been repaired. K.lTrct of the Hell Gate Explosion. New York, Sept. 25.—Geo. W. Blunt, Commissioner of Pilots, to-day, in conversation, said that the explosion yesterday had destroyed Hell Gate reef for over 350 feet, and had swept away 200 feet of the shore line, thus deepening and broadening tho chan nel. Flood Bock will next be cleared away by tho use of explosives. Dia mond Reef will also be cleared so as to give tho channel a depth of 24 feet. Of course, these improvements will depend upon future appropriations. Mr. Blunt had no idea that large ocean vessels would uso this channel more than formerly, and the velocity of the current in Long Island Sound will make that impracticable. He made application for an appropria tion with the view of benefitting the coast trade only. Marine Disasters. Halifax, Sept. 26.—The schooner Blooming Bill is totally wrecked. The schooner Three Brothers was burned to the water’s edge. New York, Sept. 26.—A dispatch from Lewes, Delaware, says the steamer Liberty, from Havana, Sep tember 14, for New York, wa3 aban doned at sea in a sinking condition during a hurricane on the 17th inst., in lat. 33 north and long. 75 west. The crew were all taken off by tho schooner Yellow Pine and landed at Lewes. She had no passengers. Survivor* nl the Clyde.

Belgrade, Sept. 26.—Tho Diplo matic agents here presented notes to Prince Milan on Monday morn ing, announcing that tho Porte has agreed to a suspension of hostilities and the terms of peace proposed by the powers. The Servian Govern ment usked for time to reply to the Porte’s proposition for tho suspen sion of hostilities. The war party and Russian officers are moving heaven and earth to prevent Servia from assenting. There is much doubt as to the course Prince Milan will pursue. . London, Sept. 26.—A Berliu dis patch to tho Times says the Russian Government has ordered the prepar ation of horses, liable to be seized in ease of war. Tho correspondent re marks that the preliminary agree ment of the powers upon tho terms of peace, being vague enough to ad mit of different interpretations. Rus sia’s warlike manners are evidently intended to support the construction that will shortly be placed up on tho poace arrraugement by St. Petersburg diplomacy. A dispatch to the Reuter’s Tele gram Company, from Belgrade, says tho Servian Government has given formal notice to all its military com manders of the prolongation of the suspension of hostilities. The Russian Consul, in an inter view with Milan yesterday, pointed out to him that Europe regarded the proclamation of the army declaring him King with displeasure, and ad vised him to summon Gen. Tchcrna yeff to Belgrade and explain to him that the acceptance of the royal title would cause fresh complications. Tho Austrian Consul ou Saturday asked for explanations concerning Gen. Tchernayeff’s proclamation. Prince Milan replied that ho was en deavoring to arrange tho matter in a manner showing due consideration for tho feelings of the army whose support was absolutely necessary to him. He said that Gen. Tchernay eff’s army adhered to the proclama tion, despite the dissuasion of the War Minister. He added that a de finite resolution corneerning the proclamation, would be taken when tho War Minister returned from the camp. Constantinople, Sept. 26.—The Porto has telegraphed its represen tatives abroad that it has given des titute Bulgarians 80,090 Turkish pounds, and has also taken meas ures for the speedy rebuilding their villages. —— ,——- cmirt DrrlMlona. Providence, R. 1., Sept. 25.—1n the United States Circuit Court to-day, Judge Knowles delivered the opinion court—Judges Clifford and Knowles. In ease of action at law, United States vs. Rowland G. Hazard. The action isoneof.debt to recover thesum of $17,451 for tax on defendant’s in come in 1868. The defendent pleads in bar to re cover the payment by defend of an assessment made by the United States Assistant Assessor, with an added penalty of fifty percent’ Uni ted States Attorney Gardener demur red to this and other pleas, and the opinion of the court to-day sustains the demurrer. The following principle of a de cision of the United States Supreme Court, in the case of a Dollar Savings Bank, vs. the Unitee States, is impor tant., as it is the first one that has been instituted to recover income tax after a citizen has paid the tax as sessed by the United States Assessor with fifty per cent, penalty. The judgment of the Court sustains such decision. A Mllver l.lnlnK In a Dark Cloud. Fromthß Oakland (Cal.) Transcript.) There lias lived in this city tho past few years a quiet, modest gentleman by the name of Peter Miller, lie lias resided in this State twenty years, worked in the mines and part of the time at his trade carpentering. Years ago commenced to send home to his widowed mother, who lived in Michigan, what he could afford to spare from his earnings. Being a bachelor, ho could not brook tho idea of having the idol of his heart toll In her de clining years, consequently ho sent her money, presuming his worthy relative would use it as shejdeemed proper. Af ter yoars ot absence his mother kept writing for him to return, but like other old Californians, ho was proud and did not desire to go back until he had sufficient to “show” that he was from tho Golden State. Time works changes; so it did with Peter. He found hinißelf about a month ago without labor —to use tho common term—and the sur roundings neither pleasant nor satisfac tory. He was unwell, and thought of homo and the friends of his youth, hack in the wolverine districts. He wrote his mother that he could not conceal his pride any longer, and stated the situation; If ho had money he would return, but he nad to make it. Monday last he received a check for SSOO, and in the letter was ntated that the money he had been send ing home for years had been invested in real estate, and that he had better come back and taka ehargo of his property which was worth over $50,000.

SPOTTED TAIL’S SPEEC H. Spotted Tail Aof.ncy, Sept. 22. All tho commission present. Spotted Tail ntado a long speech, setting forth how treaties had been violated by the Great Father. He said this is the country where my people were born, where they have acquired all their property, their children and their horses. You have come here to buy this country of us, and it would be well if you would corao with the goods you propose to give us, and to put them out of your hand, so we can see tho goods and the price you propose to pay for it. Concerning the war, he says: This seems to me to boa very hard day. Half of our country is at war, and we como upon very difficult times. This war did not spring up here iu our land; it was brought upon us by the children of the Great Father, who came to takeout* lauds from us with out price, and who do a great many evil things . The Great Father and children are to blame for this trouble. An Optnlnn on the Authority ot the t . S. to Nentl tor Tweed. Washington, Sept. 26.—The Herald lias the following Washington spe cial ; A great deal of comment and sur prise has been expressed here that so extraordinary a step as sending a United States vessel for a State pris oner has been taken. It is inferred that it was done at the instance of Mr. Adee, Charge d’ Affairs at the American Legation, in conformity witli tho wish of t ho Spanish Govern ment. It is thought among those capable of judging that Mr. Fish has blun dered iu taking any cognizance of the Tweed case, as he is merely an offender against a State and Federal Government. Even the officials of the Navy Department are sstonished at tho seeming stretch of authority, and cannot account for any legiti mate international consideration that would warrant it. A naval officer of high position says that if he were in command of the Franklin he would refuse to receive him. From Yuba. Havanna, via Key West, Sept, 26. Terrible suffering is being experien ced in Puerto Principe, few are of the richest eitize.ns of the elsland. Four thousand rations are distributed iu the marketplace to the poor twice a week.
