From all directions the re. ports are tho same,~splendid growing weather, and crops looking as fine as pos. siblo. Alotter from tho Postal Department, an- nouncing that, as tho appropriation for the tree-delivery servico for the year ending June, 1878, is 75,000 lcss than at present, either the force or the pay must bo cut down, has evolved u very sensible nction from tho carriers. They Leld a meeting and concluded to accopt a reduotion of & per cent rather than quit work, which epirit is commended to all dignified sons of lsbor, wherover located. With oll the ceremonies and state apper- taining to so important a matter, Gen. GoasT waos prescuted yesterdsy with the Freedom of London done up in a gold casket emblazoned with the mingled arms and devices of the great city and the United Btates. ‘The ovation was grand, the banquet probably cxcellent, snd unquestionably it was on occasion of absorbing interest to all concerned. In proposing the health of the distingulshed guest, the Lord Mayor welcomed hiin as a fricud and as one Of tho foremost represyntatives of tho Amer- {can uation, expressing a hope that both bt live long and prosper. Endowing a visitor with tho Freedom of the City is a soleron and portontous rite in London, and ona which, apart from the squars meal thnt usnally nccompaniea it, is perhaps impalpa- Dble as to real benefits conferred. An intereating letter from our corrarpond. ont at Braila, pleasantly mingling news with gossip, will be fonnd in another colamn. It reports o small garrison for a town of so rouck importance, but asccounts for this on 1 hypothesis that as it is one of the points from which an effort will be made to cross ths Danube, the Russians are anxious to veil thoir movements from the Turks, lest a strong forcoshonld be established at Matchin, immediately opposite, In o few days the Pension Agents will know their fate, The subject of the general consalidation of the officcs was considered in Cabinet yesterday, and the extent to which the original order is to be modified was ngreed upon, It is eaid the Illinois of- fico hos beon secured for Springfield, the in- fluenca exercised by Gov. CurnroM and Bona- tor Oareany, and the tacit co-operation of Sonator Davis, having been more powerfnl than any which Chicago waa able to bring to bear, Oka, Conada, has a little Indian war of hor own on hand, and so far the Indinns aro abend. ‘Thirty savages attacked o one-hun- dred-year-old church, and, having burned it despite the oxpostulationsof tho priest, ro- tired to consult upon future mction. The tronblo seems to bo between the Catholic pricata and Protestant Indinns, the latter baving boen incited by their Chief to array themselves in open deflance of the civil anthorities. There can be but ono result, and that very unploasant to the obstroperous redskins, In the list of responses to the advertiso- ment for bids for 250 bonds of $1,000 cach to bo issued by the City of Chicago, bearing intorest at 6 per cont and running twenty years, but ono bidder offcred less than 100 conts on the dollar, while, in the estimation of other capitalists, the seccurity was so thoroughly satisfactory na to clicit offers of promiums ranging up to $1.06. At this figure 100 bonds were rold, and none went at less than $1.03%, tho promium on the ontiro lot smounting to $12,126. It is worthy of noto that onr own capitalists ont- bid tho Enstern money-lendors, showing how high Chicago'’s credit is rated by tho people who know best how to rate it correctly, The steamship China, which yesterday arrived at Sau Francisco from Panama, brings news that the wrecked steamer San Francisco still stands on the subaqueons column of ‘rock supposed to have been pro- jected by the rocent volcanic disturbances in that region. The wonderful peacefulness of the mighty body of water which Moz LsX 8o well named i attested by the atnte- mont of the Captain of the China, that no ‘pounding” whatever has followed the original disnster to the pinioned vessel, and that tho forward portion of her cargo ean probably be saved. It would soem that the eventual extrication of the steamship ftaclf might bo nccomplished if the Company ardently desired it. The correspondents with the Russian Army of the Danube begin to despair of over being nbla to nccuratcly forecast military movemonts in that quarter. Bo secrot aro the plans and intontions of tho commanders, end Bo rigid tho censorship over press dispatches sent forward from withe in the lines, that it would not be surprising if the attompt should bo mado and the crossing of the Dauube effected & day or two before tho nows. papers found it out or were permitted to telegraph tho facis, One thing seoms to bo entirely certain: that tho Itussians are all roady to crozs the river, and tho only thing left tho correopondents is tho privilege of wondoring why they don't do it. A strange story comes from Mt. Vernon, Tl The National Bank of that town ship- ped a packnge of %8,000 to the Third Na- tional Bankof St. Louis Inst Mondsy by Adamn' cxpress, A packago was received by tho St. Louis bank, scals intact and wrapper untonched, but containing brown paper in- stend of the bills,. Bank and exprees officials are investigatiug, nud the solution of tho mystery will be awaited with interest, ‘The cleverness and ingenuity required to nccomplish the robbery in n manuer so artis- tic and puzzling wero something extrnordi- nary, and unleas it shall transpire that the money was stolen by somebody conuected with the Mt. Vernon bank, the affair will remain memornble among the schiovements of expert thieves, The Treasury Deportment has fssued a formal bulletin on tho subject of the now 4 per cout loan, explaining its advantages s o menzs of investment, and the terms nupon which the bonds nve to be issued, It claims thnt theso bonds nre moroe desirable from their permanence than the different classes baving higher rates of jutercst, whose net roturns will be little, if any, sbove the amount of incomo derived from the new issuc, The people of the country will bo glvon full opportunity to subscribe for the bonds bofore any effort is made to disposc of them abroad. The owners of long-hidden stockingy, whose contents have earncd no atorage for years, will do well to consider whether it {a not bolter for them to exchange their boardings for so safe au investment as these bonds afford. : The Chicago Times i in tho habit of mak- ing its information conform to its own views on any subjoct in hand. Thus Tus Tuin. UNE having nsserted that the new 4 per cent bonds are payable in gold and silver, the fa- clle editor of the Times calls Assistant-Secre. tary Fuexou to the rescue, quotes his indi. vidual opiuion that they are payable in gold alono, says that Hecretary Suenaan directed the issue of this opinion as oxpressing the bellef of the Administration, and ndds that of course the Byndicate would not have sub. scribed for $23,000,000 of thess bonds if they had not been assured that they would bo paid in gold and gold alone. Un. fortunately for this pretty structare, there is no foundation for it. On the contrary, Sec. rvetary Suzauax publicly announces that As. sistant-Becretary Fuexcn's letter was nothing more than an individual expression of his own views, and then proceeds to ridicule it. The contract on the face of the bondsreads ; #Redoamable at the pleasure of the United Btates after the Ist of Soptember, A. D. 1891, in coin of the standard valus of the United States vn said July 14, 1870, with in. terest in such coin.” Now, ‘* on said July 14, 1870 " (which is tho date of the act author- iziug the issucof tho funding bonds), the standard coin of the United Statos was gold andgloer. 'L'ho silver dollur was not dropped il 26873, and was o full legul tender as wiell t As:ha gold dollne up to that timo. We pre- sume the facts in tho caso, however, make little differenco to the Zmes. v The first offigial aot of the Snltan since the proclamation of the religious character of the war, as illnstrating that phase, was contained in a proclamation, nddressed May 81, to the soldiers and sailors dispatched to Soukottm Kaleh. In the conrse of this proc- lamation the Sultan sajd: ; Never has a more algnal opportunity been given you of making your names fllastrious, of achlev- ing s career In this world, which 1 perishable, and gaining yonr ralvation In the other, which ls éternal. YVouars now marching not only under the standard of the Ottomans, but under that of Istamismi, You are depated to fght for the de- livery of yunr co-rcligionisis. Your soverelgn, therefore, envies you, for, as tho verse rays, *'Paradise Is shadowed by eabres," whicl means that you will win Paradise by your victorious blades. Gon will help yau, and the spirit of the Prophet will bu satisfied of two things—that you will elther sncrifico your lives for the deliveranco of your oppreased brathren, and thua fulfll Gon's orilers, or eseape teath and remain victorlons. 1n either case you will receive your rewards, whether 10 this lifo or the next. This proclamation not only confirms the statement mado somo time since that {ho banner of the Prophet had boen raised, bat it also nccounts for the fury and fanaticlsm with which the Turks fight under the prom- ise of rewands in this life if they survive the DLattle-fleld, and of tho glories of Paradise it they are killad. THE REMEDY AT THE SOUTH. Many of our readers may think tbat the times just now are unpropitidus for the Re- publican party of the South, They will eay that, notwithstandiug its once confessed ma- Jority in nearly all the States of that section, and ita apparently permanent hold of Sonth Cavolinn, Mismssippi, and Lonisinna, where the blacks predominate, it hns lost, one by one, and Inrgoly by violent revolution, all its strongholds, and been rednced once more to o wero Northern porty, They may argno, also, that the President's policy surrenders the party to this minous opposition of phys- ical force, and affords the Domocrats the ad- vautage of n **solid South” with which to start in fnturo political campnigus, leaving to the Republicans n divided North,—which was the exact ante-bellum situation. DBut wo mnust regard this view as suporficial, becauso it takes notice only of tomporary facts, The previous prosperity of the Itepublican party at the South was unhenlthful and sure to de- cay, It rested upon an wnnatural condition of things, ocensioned by a Civil War which bad overturned the social institutions of that section., No matter what may be one's theory of government by o numerical mnjority, ' the logic of facts will nlwnys show thnt inexperience and incompatence cannot retain the reins of power. Intelligenco and property will never be controlled long by more ignorance and poverty. The Republican parly was In n {false position whilo. represonted only by the untrained freedmon, led by a fow crafty nnd corrupt carpet-baggers, and made partinlly respectable by here and there a merchant or acheol-tonchor from the North, Such a con. dition of things conld only Inst until the great body of the whites could recover from the stanning effoct of tha overthrow of the Coufudoracy and the abolition of .slavery, nud could organize for self-protaction against local corruption and spoliation, We do nat aver that tho misgovernment was universal in that section, and wo surely are not apolo- gista for fraud, or murder, or* bulldozing,” a8 practiced in certnin Btates. Dut wo aim. ply say that one evil ovor produces anothor § aud that a misuso of tho ballot-box by the ignorant blacks led to results which natural- 1y ocensioned the violonco in quostion, espe- cially in the stato of mind in which the War Toft tho white population, In such circumstances thers must be, first of oll, o resolving of things into their cloemonts, prior to now. solutions and a fresh political erystallizntion, Just now wo are.in tho ruius of n building which, poorly con- strnoted, has fallen with much damage to life and property, Tho outlook amid the dust and dobris Is not very clear, Dut it is wisa to nccept the situntion in tho sonse of recognizing the facts, and detormining to avoid the crrors of the provious stmoture, It ia somothing to have got rid of the past 80 far that the Republican party no longer stands sponsor for the peouliarities of legis. Iation, judicial decisions, finoncial proceed- ings, and Gubcrnatorial and Senatorial eloc- tions in South Oarolina, Alsbama, Missis- sippl, and Loulsiana, No party could float with such a millstone around its neck. Bomaetimes the best thing fora man who is overloaded with a multitude of complicated pecunlary {ransaotions, and has boen cought in the storm of a fnancial crisis, {8 to go into baukrupley, cloar up all entsuglements, and prepare to atart ogain, Let us be honest, and confesa that Just now the Republican party at the South is possing through baukruptey, Not improb- nbly the Democratic party in that section and elsewhore may bo compelled to do the same, for ita debta to justice are innunera- blo and past its power to pay, Dut, how- evor that may be, lot us bo wise enough to sottlo our own affairs as best wo may, At presont wo are in a minority at the South ; but wo shall uot romain so if we cut loose from all connection with corruption, and plant our party on the simple basis of equal rights for all, including the natural right of education and property, whether white or colored, to couduct the activo operations of Governmont, O The ambition of the negro to hold office, irrospective of his competence, must bo ve- pressed by his friondss Ife must also be told that it {s not a hundredth part as impor. taut for him immediately to oxorcise his priv- ilege as a voter as it is for him to prepare by education lo exercise it intelligently, Lot us not be in such haate to lay the top stone of the political odifice before we lay ita foundation. The common achool is just now tho justitution that should be most popular with tho friends of the frecdmen. ‘Then let the best minds among them receive a higher culture, that there may be enlightened leaders as well o8 woll-informied followers, and ' the future is insured. When the nogro voters can all read nnd write, aud when they shall have o body of thoroughly-cducatod teachers, editors, physicians, lawyers, and clergymen of their own color, they will iufallibly protect thom- selves. Kunowledge will once more be found to by power., Four millions of such people must be rvecognized and respected. The time was, fifty ysars since, when the North. ern politiclan paid little attention to the Irish or the German immigrants. To-day, the greatest pains are taken in every State to sccure their favor; nnd, for a generation, tho Democratio party has had the reputation of having sold itself out for the foreign vote, which now embraces both numbers and in- telligence, ¢ Circumstauces aller cases," soys tho proverb, Faeozsick Dovorass, when 8 fugitive slave aud a representative of arace ignorant and oppressed, received uttention only from compassionate philane thropists. Now, self-edncated, n well-known orator, and the Marshal of the District of Colnmbia, with his office in the City-Hall of ‘Whashington, and representative of a race clothed with political power and rising in intelligencs, ha has the respect of all classos. Buch inatitutions as Biraight University at Now Orloans, Fisk University ot Nashville, the colloges at Tougaloo and Talladega, Hamptoa Agricnltural College, and Howard University at Washington, are pre- paring theefliencious romedy for the maladies of the Sonth. Very soon we shall sec the color-lina blotted ont in politica; for it can. not bo mamntained thero, after it has disap. peared in tho region of mental nnd moral cul- ture, Bonna' doctrine, ** A man's & man for ' that,” or humanity belonga to nature, not to hereditary rank or skin, will come out triumphant in this Republic, As soon as the Republican party is belioved by the South to moan national interests, and not looal corruption with the negro vote for a cat's. paw, tho white vote will divide, ns in other days, and the freedmen will hold tha balance of power, and will be courted by both par. ties. Thero will bo seen nt the Bouth the politician waiting, hat in hand, on the color- ed voter, as at the North he doeson tho Irish and Germinn voter, Iime cools pas- sion and opons blind eyes, and nothing is now mora rapidly becoming evident to sen- sible men of both sections and hoth parties than tho abrolute necessity of accopting negro-equality before the Inw ns a fixed fact for the future of our country. THE PUDLIC CREDIT, Tha only rational objection which s urged against tho remonstization of tho silver dol. lar is that it will be a breach of faith to our national creditors, who, it is claimed, have n moral right to bo paid in gold. Among those who opposo the romonetization of sil- ver on this ground is the New York Tridune, which paper, howover, has tho candor to admit Itis true, nsonr Washinglon dispatches state, that the registered and coupon 4% per cent bands are payable, according to the laws suthorizing their Issne and according to the languaza printed upon tho face of the bondn, in United States coins as established In tho laws oxisting in 1870, At tho time the laws provided fortho colnage of n silver dollar, and in strict construction of law the bonds ars payable in silver dollara If the United States should determine to resumo the colnnge of dollard not Inferlor In weight and fincness to those thon authorized, That is a complete answer to tho wholo objection. Tho contractwas to pay the bonds in the coin of tho United States, silver and gold, o legal tendor and of the weight and finenoss as ostablished by law in force in July, 1870. Thnt contract is written on tho face of tho bond. Itisnot a mera techni- cality, Thera wag at that time ponding a proposition for an international standard of coin by which the American oagle, and the silver dollar, and the British sovereign, aud $he silver shilling, aud the Fronch, German, Auatrion, and all coinage of all other coun- trios, should have equivalont values according to their denominations. Thusthe half eaglo ond DBritish sovoroign and tho 25-franc Fronch pieco shonld ho of tho same woight and fineness, and tha 5-frane silver and the Amorican dollar and the eilver coinage of smallor denominations should have equiv- nlont weights aud be of tho sasme fineness, It wasinview of the pendency of a proposition of this kind which, if adopted, would have necessitated o reduction in the weight of the American ongle and of the American silver dollar, thatthis stipulation was pnt inthoe act of 1870, The contract was that, if the Unitod States should alter fta comago, tho bond was novertheless to ba paid in tho “dollar of tho fathers,” of which, on the 14th of July, 1870, tho Amorican silvor dol- lar wna by law the atandard, Itis truo thatin the moontimo silver has declined In valuo, That docline is, however, tomporary. Beforo 1874 tho silver dollar was worth 103 conts in gold. To romonetize sliver in this country will have tho effectof giving an fncreased valuo to the metal, and long bofore tho date for ‘resuming apecle paymonts the silvor dollar will probably be at par in gold. For hundrods of ycars it Las maintained on almost uniform rolation of valuo with gold; the disturbance in the relative valuea of the two metala has boen repeatedly in favor of the silver, Tho distnrbavce, howuevar, has navor been mors than tewporary, and in this case it will bo no more. 'The over-sensitive gen- try who object to restoring eilver coinage plead that, silver having* fallen, it would be dishonest to make it a logal tender, even if payment in silver bo tho contract, Suppose the demonetizing act of 1873 had never beon passed, thon the silver dollur would not only bo a legal tenderat this time for all pur. poses, but its coinage would be fres and un. limited, deapito tho decline in value of the mutal. Would {t bo dishonest to pay debts with silvor dollars nndor such circumstances ? MORTON AND VOORHEES, The Democrats havo already begun the Presidential campaign for 1880, Thero are evidences of a stronyg Hexpuioxs movement, which is intended not merely to put Hex. pricks forward, but to get Tinex out of the way, Therois o statoment that the rocop- tion tendored Mr, Hexpnicxs in Now York was intonded to furthor his Presidential aspirations, but of course it was necessary to fovite Tiubex, who, penetrating the pur. pose, took time by the forelock and made o spoech in bis own futorest. Btill Hexpnioxs has a great advantage from the olrcumatance that he will be away in Enrope and will not bo callod upon to make any more speeches, while TiLozy at boma will be tempted with opportunitics, and probably kill himsalf off by his own utterances. But the most con. spicuous evidenco of Heyoriogs' candidaturo istound in the excoptional prominenceandim- portance which the Loulsville Courler-Journal givostothe announcement that Dax Voonuges will enter tho field next year as o candidate for the United Btatos Sonate against Gov, Montox, The Courler-Journal conceivos this announcement to bo sufficiontly startling to warrant along, double-leaded editorlal on the subject, in which tho **'Lall Byoamoroe of tho ‘Wabash " is laudad to the vory altitudo of his stature when standing erect, and Benator Morton denounced in good old Bouthern fashion, Mr, WarTenson's enthusiasm goos 80 far, indoed, s to’ betray Lim futo the dificult and dsugerous practice of prophe- sying, aud ho rashly predicts that Yoonires will be clected Sonator, That all this is slm. ply preliminary to securing Mr, Hexpoioxs' nomiuation for the Presidency in 1850 is mado evident by the following paragraph: 'The contees thus lald out & year fn advance wiil ‘e tho event of tha political porfod. It wlil attract as much attention as the famous strugglo between Lixcown sud Doverays in 1838, On its result great thinge willdepond; becauso, If Mr. Voouuxss uns acats MonroN, Sually redeeining the State, Indians will oppear st the frout in 1880as the leadlug Democratic Stato {n the Unlon. The Indiaza Democrsts deserve thily, for (ey aro tho gawest, tho trucst, tho noblest set of Iellows in the world. ‘They dou's kaow what it istolet downor Lack down. Defeat after defuat bas only nesved them for renewod sctlon, Their conduct last ycar was 1o overy way herolc. 10 was not in tue books for them to get the man of thelr cholce,—the man who had shared all thole disastera and never flincheil; ihe man whom thoy feit deserved to carry the ban- ner In the fight. Naturally, the result at St, Lo was bitterly dissppointing and cruelly depreaning. Natnrally, they came away discanraged. But, 1iko brave men, they took thoie swear ont and feil into line cheerfully and heartily, mindful that the world was not yet come to an end, and hopetul of the fatare. They were richly rewarded for thele valorons scif-eacrifice. They put thele old encmy to flight, took the Btate outof his grasp,—sent him fiving away to Californls. Now, if Mr, Hexpnicxa' eampnign for 1860 is to boinangnrated by pitting Dax Voonnees against Gov, MonroN, wo are willing, and we don't believo that Gov. MonTox, nor any of his friends, nor anybody intercated in the anccoss of the Republican party, will have the slightest objection to urgoe againat it. Bnch an oponing of the eampaign could not be more favorable to the Republicans, Gov. Monrox could not choose n more deairable op. ponent, if ho lind his own selection, than the ¢ Tall Bycamore of tho Wabnsh." A supor- ficinl man, n flippant talker, reprosonting tho froth of Indiaun politics, and with a single flowery spesch which tho publio haa about tired of, DAx Voonuees is by no means a for- midablo antagonist. 1lis former service in the Lower House of Congross was only re. markable for the glibness of his talk, whioir never smounted to anything and nevér nc- complished anything. IHe has not been heard of in politics since his constituents dropped him until two years ago, when, the Indiana Legislaturo being Democratic, ha beecamo a candidate for the United States Sonato, and made n dosperato struggle for the place against Senator MoDonarp, His failuro to get elected nt that time is not cal- culated to bo of material nasistauce to him in any fature struggle. If he could not get the Democratic party to elect him to the Benate whon it was actuslly in power, any effort of his to carry the Stata for the Democratio party with that end in view, and when por- sonally opposed by O. P. Morex, does not promiso very distiuguishoed success. As to Gov, Montow, it scoms to be ns. sured that he will bo a eandidate. Wo pro- sumo ho will, if lifo and henlth be spared to bim. Thero aro at present no good reasona why hio should not be, and many ressons why ha should bo a candidate for re-clection.

But thero is not the same degreo of squeamishness ;m the BDourbon strongholds of Georgia, and it is possiblo to lesrn from tho ntterances of nowspapers and pnblle mon in that State what motives have inspired the holding of the eloction and what gaina are expocted to be derived from it. Tho presont Constitution of Geergla was framed by a Convention held in 1867.'8. It is the foshion now in that Btato to say that the Constitution was crammeddown the throats of the people" by military authorily, and that it oxpressed the will only of a corrupt Federal olignrchy, Tho Savannal News as- serta that it wns * enscted by the nid of ig. norant malignants, ratified by fraud, and onforced by Foderal Loyonets”; that it do- prived tho State of'Georgia ** of her position of an equal in tho American sistorhood of soveroign Btates " ; that * it was contrived by her anomios for hor humilintion and oppres. ston”; and that ‘‘it bronds her sons, the lving and the herole dead, as traliors,” 'The Augusta Chrontcle raves in the same cone nection: ¢ 'Che orgauic law of the Empiro Btato of tho Houth was framed by such men os DBurrocx, Brovoerr, Cowniey, Beanp, Broxg, Asupuny, BryaxT, Braviey, Tunnes, Riouanpsoy, aud: Breanns, Its adoption waa opposed by tho*intelligonce, tho virtue, and the property of tho State. It was crammed down our throats by force, fraud, and Ignorance ; by the power of the sword, by tho votes of porsons who wera driven to the polls liko sheep to the shambles, by the manipulations of an adroit and unscrupulous Returning Board, known as Commiissioners of Registration. Is it sany wonder, then, that the peopls should dosire to change a Coustitution made by such men and adopted Ly such meaus?” Arguments which proceed by invective and dennuciation aro nlways cfective with the Dbigoted and ignorant; aud the peoplo of Goorgin have doubtless Leon persunded by statements such as havo boon quoted above to vole for o new Constitution, although few of them know exactly what constitutes the dofect of tho ono at presont in force, The only procise objection to the Constitution that has beon made in Georgia will not be accorded much weight in Illinois, or clse- wheroe in tho North, It is, in brief, (hat the Constitution rejects tho dootrine of State rights, aud recognizes the supramacy of ‘tha National Government, - Beo, 83 is as follows: ‘Tlia State of Goorgla shall ever remaln a membes of tho American Unlon. The people thersof are a part of the American mnation. Evury citlzen thereof owes paramount allegiance to tho Conati- tation and Goverument of the United Btates, and no law or ordInanca in contravention oz subverslon sball over have bindlug force. ‘Phero is nothing shocking or subversive of good governwent in this provision, and tho peoplo of the North, justead of viewing it with alar, would regard it onlyas o state- ment of existing facts. It onght tolo ac. cepted in the South as a natural sequence of evonts. Yot a “statcmmnan who wmakes as large claims to Licadth of vision as Scnator Huuw declares that the Constitution * brands tho late War as a rebellion, thus insulting tho living and dishonoring tho patriotio dead.” Bunator Hiw is corroct in the first Lranch of his proposition. 'Tho Coustitution docs *‘Urand tho late War as s rebellion,” and it fs all tho better on that account; but it docs uot, as a necossary consequence, cither insult the living or dishonor the dead. ‘The bearlng of this election on the ques- tion of State Rights is direct und important, It shows how tenacious the Southern people aro of their ald privciples, acd bow slow thoy are to accept in terms that which they are forced o aceopt in fact. It is uot per- haps n matter of great moment, 50 far as practical results are concerned, whether the Constitution of Goorgia declares the Nation. ol Governmont to be supreme or not. The national authority will still extend over Georgin in th same manner and degres as heretofors, The late War will still' be ‘branded " s & rebollion, if not by the Constitution of Georgin, at least by n major. ity of the people of the United States, and by the very existence of Geor- gin as a Btate In tho Union from which she once sttempted to sccede, But the movemend for o new Conatitution is to bo doplored for the effeot it will have in producing frosh political agitation in that Stato, and theroby unsettling the minds of the people. Georgin, like all the othor Southern 8tates, has been afflicted by politi. cal activily, and nceds at present nothing moro seriously than a period of quiet and devotion to commercial and agricultural pur. suits, The Btato cannot nfford the luxury of o Constitutional Convention and fine-spun sontinents ot this time. All that shall bo dono in this direction will have the effoct to shoke popolnr confidence at the North in tho intogrity of Bouthern promises, and to post. pona indefinitely the destruction of the sec- tional lino tn politics, whichis now the prin. cipal barrierin the way of national pros. pority. A ROYAL PAUPER. Vicron EsANurr hias again appeared In his now famous role of the Pauper King, IHis ne- ceasitics have beon freshly exposed to the Ital. {au Parliament, and an appeal has been madoon his behalf to the sympathica of the people. Tho Ministry has drafted a blil to ralse the King's income from 12,000,000 Lranca to 14,000,000 francs annually, allowing 3,000,000 francs for the per- sonal cxpenses of thosoverelzn, American read- ers accustomed to the mmplicity of Republican fnstitutions and the severe economy of our own Government will not at firat appreciate the sad stato of the Italian King, For thelr benefit it may bo well to oxplain that Victon EMAx- UEL, notwithatanding the straitencd conditlon of his Gnances, is & generous as well as a merry soul, and, in his expenacs it not in his rovenues, every inch a King. His gifts and charities are magznificent. On one occaston he presented 160 watchies to objects of his faver, and ordinary marks of his approvation are mosalc tables, ofl portraits of himsclf, Arab lorses, and costly Jowels, 1lis largess is as wido and spontaneous in tho dircction of benovolent Inatitutfons.

No doubt such & change would be beneficial, and, no doubt also, it will not be made, unless the Government re- celves many more remindors of tho necessity of retrenchment in every directlon, and the impro- pricty of Royal splendor purchased by a loss of pational eredit. ——— A shrewd femals reporter of the New York Graphic lately made application to the various divorce-lawyers of that clty for s soparation ) from ler husband. flor atatement of tho r sulta {s probably not too bighly colored, and affords an excellent fliustration of the oxtent of the foiquity In which thess matrlmontal brokers aro engaged.
