C., July 27.—A prominent Georgia Democrat, writing the Postmaster-Gen eral in rezard to the Independent movement in that State, says: “The strength of the Inde- pendent movement in Georgia is greater than you or any one else outside of the State imaz- ines.

Sax’ Fraxcisco, Cal, July 27.—George F. Seward, United States Minister to China, who arrived on the City of Tokio yesterday, in an in- terview relating to Chinese immigration, ex- pressed himself strongly in opposition to any Iegislation to abrogate any orovisions of the Burlinzame treaty on the prounds of inter- national and commercial policy. He says the Tmperinl Government at Peking is apathetic, and peither encourages nor disconrages immi- gration. Mr. Seward claims there is no danger of Chinese immigration great enough to be- come dominant in this country.

ITALY. THE LAUNCH OF THE IRONCLAD DANDOLO. Dispatch to London T¢mes. 8peziA, July 10.—The great preparations made for the launch of the Italian ironclad Dandolo, a sister-ship to the Duilio, which was Jaunched at Castellamare in May, 1876, have ended in partial failure, and the festive rejoic- inms of the people of Spezis in disappointment. The Dandolo lies half in water and half out, stuck fast on the slips. The King and Queen had come expresely for the occasion. The Min- ister of Marine had provided a special train, which brought the members of both Houses of Parliament and the representatives of the press. All the Italisn men-of-war not on forelgn stations were assembled in- the bay. The City of Spezia was decked with flags hanging from Venetian masts erected along. the strects and floating from cords stretched from house to house, while rich draperies huug from all windows aod balconies. Numbers of excursion trains brought in thousands from all parts. The bay, always lovely, presented a. charming scene of the gayest animation. Under a briltiant blue sky, its walers were covered with bundreds of sayly-decked craft of all kinds, a considerable gquantity of shipping, und the following sbips of the Italian fleet—the Aucona, the Affondatore, the St. Martiuo, toe Maria Pia, the Castelfidardo, ‘the Messina, the Au- the Caracciolo, . the Maria, snd Adelaide and Victor Emmanuel, dressed with all the bunting they could show. Around the great hull of the Dandolo a number of capaciousand zayly-decorated stands were crowded with ladies and . gentlemen. Every inch of vantage-rround within sizht of the centre of attraction was crammed with spectators. At 11 o'dock the King and Queen, followed by their suites and accowpabied by the Minister of Marine and a number of superior naval officers, drove into the arsenal, and were saluted with deafening cheers. The Bisbop of Sazaua, wearing a mitre and fol- lowed by '3 mnumber of clergy, , entered immodiately afterwargds, and, ~ walking round the great hull, scattered’ holy Water on the ship. The King: and Queen then'left their stand, and, walkine fo the prow, ascended the staging there; when her Majesty; amid ring- my cheers from all sides, took'the cord to which a bottle of 1talian champagne was fastened, and with a good swing'dashed "it° against- the A few mimfles m n:ami!thesi_x s are kg, ’m{s& Tl 5lip, thei ways tom the frictivn’ throw off volumes of smoke, when suddenly she comes to a stop balf inj‘half out -of “water, and to the cheers which'ereeted her as she began tomove,' a*dead silence’fol- lows, and then the deep hum of disappointment.

Dispatch ta Lonidon Times. Beruiy, July 9.—Wnen Lord Beaconsfield first came to Berlin the actiug Chicf of the Palice. waited upon the British Premier to cau- tion him against walking in the streets. There might be sssassins abroad, the oflicer argued, with evident anxiety, intent upon killing the leading man of the high and mighty assembly that had met at Berlin. Bord Beaconsfield, in reply, expressed a doubt. that -Beriin assas- sins were sufliciently cosmopolitan to_cxtend their operations to foreign Ministers sojourning, in thia Capital. ‘Howerer, being ignorant of the state of the place, the repeated warning of the anxious officer eventually took effect upon the possible victim. For a week, thercfore, the noble Lord used to drive out;in a closed carriage, which he only left, at a distance from_the town, to take his “ constitutional® in places beyond the reach of - Socialists - and -- An- arcnists. But his -~ bold spirit_ rebelled |- against these seeret promenades. Having al- ways decmed death preferable ‘to’ eternal im- prisonment, the Earl, atter a week’s abstinence, determined to slight the warnings of the police, and frecly showedjhimself in hotel, street, aud park. He lad no rcason to regret hisinde- pendent course. Unless inconvenienced by ob- trusive attention on the part of the metropol- jtan public, bis walks were agrecable as they were safe. Fame has its attendant penalties, and stares are punishmentsinflicted by admirers. Lord Beaconsfield has counted among the most interesting sights of the Capital during the tast month. ROUMANTA. .

There was not a point on the Black Sea in Roumsnian Bessarabin where a port conld have been constructed and main- tained by any means within the scope of the resources of this Principality; consequently, the possession of the Dobrudja gives Roumania seaports which she could never bave obtained in any other way.

ToroxTO, July 27.—A letter from St. John's, N. F., says that the project of a-route to Win- nipeg via Hudson’s Bav is exciting much atten- tion there. The writer says: Amongst those best qualified to jndze there is almost a unanimity in_favor of the cheme. The Captains and officers of the eealing-vesséls aro all of the opinfon that their vessels conld traverse Budson's Straits and Bay with perfec: safety dur- ing three or four monthe of the year. The only objection of any weight which they urge {8 the want of a good harbor,—the only one of which they are aware being York Factory, whica has al- ways been used by the vessels of the Hudson's Buy Company, but isnotoriously abad one. There , however, an excellent barbor at tlie mouth of the Neleon River, only six miles from the former, in which the Jargest vessels can anchor witn pe fect safety. This magnificent river is a mile wide forty miles from its_mouth, and receives tae waters of the North and South Saekatchewan, and of the vast extent of country draining into Lake Winnipeg, —an orea as large ‘a8 England and France combvined. At its mouth the Nelson 18 six mites wide, with achannel a mile in breadth, and from five 10 ifteen fethoms deev. The objection, then, regarding the want of a harbor may be at once alsmissed. Port Nelson can accommodate the largest vessels. [tis nearly 100 miles nenrer Livernool than is New Yori.—the relutive dus- tances, measured on the globe, being 2,960 and 3,020 miles. Were two of oor leading steamers to start, the one from Port Nelson and the other from New York. they wonld probably ‘reach Liverpool abont the same time. Port Nelson is about 370 miles from the terminas of Lake Winnipeg navie: tion, near God's Rapids. A ruilway of 400 miles in length would place the whole water-communi- cation of both Saskatchewans, Red River, and Lake Winnipee in direct commumcation with 'the ocesn by the route mdicated. Tt hag been calculated thuta bushel of grain or a hondred-weight of beef, started from Pine River, would move on a uniform descending grade' to the ocean at Port Nelson in the same time_that another bushel of grain_or hundred- weight of beef would reach the Lake of the Woods, and actually might be' in Liverpool before itsrival in the race had arrised at Montreal, and at for less cost. During the lnst sesslon of Par- liamentat Ottawn, Prof. Hind gave evidence be- fore the Immugration Committee as 10 the prac- ticability of navigating Hudson's Bay with vesecls of 1he gesling-class during four months of the ear. He proposed {o test the theory in the fol- lowing way: To charter u first-class sealing-steam- er to sail from St. Johne, Newloundland, by the 10th of June, and to_eail from Port Nelson, Hud- son's Bay: on her rorurn vovage, on the lstor 10th “of October,—thus furnishing a teat of ‘the Jength of the scason for navigation by steamers. In ‘addition, he proposes that the eteamer ehould convey a competent staff to survey the aporoaches 1o Port Nelson, and the channel of the river as far as Gillam Island, some distance farther p the Neleon than Seal Ieland: and which should spend the interval between her arrival at and departure from Port Nelson in this and other work. :She might also convey a surveying -party with supplies to Port Nelson, whose duty it would be 10 Jand immediately and begin -a9; exploratory f the right or north bank of the river for a The party would ascend .the, Nelson in Doats'as far as the month of Burnt River, which i about half way between Port-Nelson' and God's Raplds.-" There they mizht meet angther: party organizéd at Winnipeg, coming down the Nelson* from Norway Houss, :The. 1 ot both parties would -pe_decidedt 1f the Norway House party su 250 e o #65:8° Tailyay, on,; &m—fle"énmmflap:_ then, he *liention” of e flrst party wonld Syholly, deyol to the selection of the best ‘on- fhie” soutlt side of the river; 'In the direction ol the other, meantime, workinginp to'thi crossing-place on' the: Nek ;11 ver, ‘8 passage acroas the’Nelson should notibe’ found, then both parties wopld try Burnt.Wood.

RicanoOND, Va., July 28.—For several years past, Col. -‘Wilson Houghins, & man of some proverty’ and - promjpefjte, living a short dis- tance from Fluvania',Caurt-House, has threat- ened_frequently to-murder members of his family, consisting of2hib wife, 2 beautiful and accomplished woman’ of about 40, a daughter about 11, and twoTboys, one.of 7 and the other an ifant,--add Houchins' mother-in- law. Unfartunately;-these threats were disre- garded; and no actehtibn given to the matter eitlier by the publfc gt the family, although on several occasions Fghchins had attempted to carry out -his bratal, threats. Not long since his wife discovered him ptanding over her with a drawn dagger, ready to,drive it into her heart. In some way sne avetted, the impending blow. Houchins on that occasion implored his wife not o0 mention the mafjer, promising better be- bavior for the fugare.Since that time Mrs. Houching has been cpmpelled to take her chil- dren 2ud seck protection under the roofs of her ngighbors’ houses: ;- Yesterday, while the family were seated at the breakfast table, Houchins seized an ax and commenced his bloody work, dealing the first blow to his wife, inflictite a horrible wound on her head, extending froffi ear to ear, killing her almost _instantly. He then attacked his little boy. The mother-ia-lay, iuterjered, and im- plored the fiend to desist, but instead of yleld- ing to her apbpealy for mercy he turned upon herand knocked her inscnsible with the ax-handle, coolly returnine to the norrible work of butchering his own.child. He chopped his ead off and threw tiie jody under the table. Then, before his wife's mother revived, Houch- ins finished her, striking her several blows on the breast and head, slashing and chopping the woman to an almost unrecognizable mass. His spite seemed especially directed to his wife’s® mother. Houchins’ son,, a little fellow of 7, came into the room while the horrible butchery was going on, and, sciziog his infant brother lying in the cradle, sought safety in the woods. Houchins looked for theém, but failing in this, be. it seems, went into the parlor, and left the following parting letters; Ihave intended to do this lhl'nF for some time. Thedevil is1n me.

Although the maoagers of the Chicago roads lending to Missouri River points bave shown to the entire satisfaction of the managers of the St. Louis lines that the business from Missouri River points is not ‘coming this way because they have been deallor unfalr’ or cut the rates, but that the bulk of the truffic comés to Chica- 2o becauseof its superior- facilities and popu- larity with the shippers in_that sectiun,.yet the St. Louis papers,_ keep on. nbus{:!z the Chicago roads for mot keeping faith regards the *agreement, justas if suchabuse would induce Western shippers to bring their goods to St.: Louls. The St. Louis Zepullican.of the 26th has. the followiag to say in regard to this matter: ‘The St. Louisronda 1n the Missouri River pool have been lenmhli‘ main what they ought to have known well cnough long ago, and that s, that it won't do to trust the most solemn promises of- the Chicago roads. A very much larger share of the Missour} River business has been going *East via the City of the Lakes than would naturally go that way without extra indncements’to atteact it, but he Chicago ronds protest that they .have stood fuithfully by _tneir pledged word, and that the sccret of - the heavy movemont their way has been the better facilitics and lower rates offcred by the Tines east of Chicago, Of course, they have pre- sumably nothing to'do with the tarids of the East- ernronds. but it is not_in the nature of things, neverthelees, that the Eastern roads should bLear the whole burden of the concessions which draw trade. At any rate, the epiritof thecompact 18 broken, while the letter of the bond is- inviolate, and there is nothin to be done in St. Lonis but to follow in the track thus lald down, It is consoling, inthis counection, to note that there is some als- position among the Eastern roads at this point to meet the demands of the situation, and there are seemingly well-anthenticated rumors that cut rates are againin vogue here. Of course this sortof thing puts the whole commercial world at ses withont cither radder or compass, but it is the only way to keep even so long as the unscrupulons practices continue at Chicago.

' £ - “Can you direct me - to Ogontz, the former résidence of Jay Cooke?”, 4 3 An elderly man, with gray whiskers, standinj on the platform of York Road Station, on the North Penusylvania Ruilroad, answered : “Take theroad rnoning west and ;follow it for threc-quarters of ‘a mile. The' larzest house you find onthe right band is Ogontz. You can’t miss it; it’s the ugliest house on the road.” : Leaving the station and traveling for abont three-eighths of a mile on the old York road a square stone tower looms up ahesd on the road- side. In the top of it is a cl Gettiog further up the hill the tower is found to be the prominent feature of a fine stone church. Around it are scattered a few houses,” ' “What place is that¥"* The young man addressed, who i the road, looks up and answera: Shoemakertown.”” 3 **They have a fine church?”? :%Yes; Jay Cooke bnilt that. He ‘attended there. It's Episcopalisn.” 5 A road Icads off from the main * hizhway, and the directions are to follow it for half a mile and Ogontz will be found to the right. There are a number of stone houses, larze “and ‘small, with well-kept grounds, on either side of this road. Asccuding a hill, atter zns!lng -the last of these, o high, gray-stone building, topped by n French roof, catches the eye. Not the build- ing atone, but all the surroundings, have an air of immeasurable superiority to their neighbors. A hedgerow bezins down the bill, and, running slong the right-hand side of the road, stops at a - massive {ron gateway only to begin at the other side, ‘ continaing s far as the estate boands the road- side, Ogontz stands back about 100 rods from the road. The drive that leads to it cats through a lawn almost too profusely shaded by evergrecns. The house itself 1s a great un- even pile of gray stone, looking like three ' houses built together. The part that fronts the is a square structure, five stories high, sharp at the engles, with notning to relieve the cold gray of the walls but the bleached walnut cascments of the windows, which are bunched together as though afraid of encroacbing too far from the centre and wish- ingz to render themselves as little conspicuous a8 possible. To the left of this portion i3 = three-story, uneven structure, which gives the building the appearance of rambling. The hollow ~ square between the two = build- ings iz hlled bv a large conservatory, whose glass roof, shaped like a_semi-circle, is conspicuons from the roadside. Against these builaings, on the opvosite side, is built another large house, four stories bigh. This third hounse Joins the other two together and makes the turce houses one. Eversthing about the place seems to be constructed on the scale of pigness. On cither side of the third'houseis 8 big piazza, either one of which, if partitioned off, would make a good-sized ball-room. The doorways are big enough to drive a team and wagon through. * They are as wide as they are high. The lanterns throughout the ground are bizger than city gas-lanterns.” The stable is bir enough for.-a: livery stable. big; and the bedgerow foot-walks are big enough for carriage drives. Back of the house the ground descends and runs fnto a woods, overgrown and wild with long grrass and bushes. In the wildest parts among the brambles here and there a blooming flower or bush is seen, the remnants of former grandeur. The housc itself shows sadly the effects of neglect,’ There are mo_ tall trees.to orotect it from the sun. . On all sides the case- ments ef the windows are cracked and bleached to a dull whitish color. The iron pillars and fretwork of the pinzzas are red with rust. The walls of the conservatory, where the plastering bad not fallen away, show patch- es of sky, and trees, and water, over. which ortistic labor groaned and was doubtless well rewarded. The door-knobs are rusty and the doors creak ou their hinges. The fountains in the grounds, relieved of their statuary, which have goue to sivell the list of * assets,” are par- tially fallen in: *'The'brick walls have crumbled. Tne white swans, " that spouted water high in air, bave some unswanlike streaks of rust down their backs, and look parched and thirsty. ~ Down below the “stable in a small hollow stands what_wis once the gas-bouse. It is half hidden by wild bushes ond vines sugrestive of an excellent resort for suakes. On'the roof dre yet seen the fixtures of teleeraph wires. Jay Cooke’s private line ran that “way up to his honse, where he had an office. The hot-bouses, where rare flowers bloomed, are rank with weeds aad wild vines. The stable is the only thing that does not show so plainly the ravages of neglect. The farmers who work the tillable ‘portion of the estate use it, and have not allow- ed it to 2o to rack.

A Grand Historical Painting. Correspondence Lindon Times. * BeRN, July 17.—The 3lunicioal Council of Berlin has voted a sum of 60,000 marks to per- petuate the memory of the Congress by a work of art, the exccution ol which bas been intrast- ed to the celebrated historical painter, Prof. von Werner. Of course the painter is compelled to proceed witn nuusual rapidity,—a fact which adds to -the merit of his work. It maybe readily fmagined that diplomats assembled in Congress, -~ with committees, interviews, dinpers, aed receptions to attend, and with some of the businessof their particular ae- ‘partments to be'truusacted besides. can give but little time to the sittings demanded of them by a painter. Despite all that, however, the pencil portraits of Prince Gortschakoff, Lord Beacons- lield, Lord Salisbury, Baron de Haymerle, and Count Schouvaloff are, notwithstanding the ra- pidity of their exwcution, works of art before which one must bow with sdmiration. The likeness of Count Schouvaloff is done with ex- treme delfeacy. The finely-cut features clearly indicate the diplomatist, who, according to the expression of Prince Bismarck, “a sa tenir tete a tout lc congres.” withoat ceasiog for a moment to be_the hizhly cultivated and perfect gentleman hets. Count Corti, thougi drawn with striking Lruth, pleasantly remarked tothe artist: **Ah! I am not sorry you have made me look better than Nuture intended.” Prince Gortschakoff was delighted with his like- ness, though it made him look ratner older than beis; and Count Andrussy exults beforehand in contemiplating the effect which his gay uni- form will prodiice amid the sable garments of his colleagues. Certainly, however, people will be struck with the very remarkable way in which the artist has reproduced the expressive features of Lora Beacousfield and the thought- ful head of Lord Salisbury. But the politico-historical interest of the painting will be found to consist {a the compo- sition of the work as a whole. - The scene repre- sents the moment when the majority of the Plenipotentiaries havesabscribed the treaty, and when, according to alpbabetical order, M. D’Oubril, the Russian Plenipotentiary, and the three representatives of ‘Curkey bave only still tosian. M. D'Oabril, seated at_the table, is signing.
