II II i 7 THE PIBFATCH. WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBEK 14. 1874. THE BtESSIJCGS OF POTEUTV; AX ATf Fl't PE1IU, NEWS AND NOTES.

BuUdiaa: I th. THE GEORGIA VICTORY. THE DISPATCH. The boll ringers are still on tlielr wsiy ia the Sixth Ward. amending the constitution of this Stat.

All persons voting upon said question shall vote "on ventbn Yes or Convention No." The importance of this matter to our people, we fear, is not correctly appreciated. So little has been said in the papers of the State that we take the opportunity of urging upon the members of the press their apparent duty to give prominence to the subject from now till the day of election. The many abuses put upon us by the Drake faction can now be done away with and the opportunity should not be neglected. Lacklaxd is Hie Itcpvhllctn I'eoiilti's nominee, the Democrat says. All riirht.

If ITyde hadn't moved out of the Sixth ward there would have been some Legislative opportunities in him. If John Kuapp will run for the Legislature in the Sixth ward he can rely "on the support of almost every paper in the city, and be elected of course. Leklet still lingers in our midst. He is a gentle youth whom the gods have made mad that they might all the more plausibly destroy. Dowx in Greene county they call the Tadpole ticket the Mucilage ticket, for the reason as the says that it has taken a bottle to stick it together.

Major Gentry will not probably go to Chattanooga. The probabilities of his election are not sufficiently strong to warrant much investigation of the science of addition, division and silence. A great pressure is being made on Colonel John Knappto get him to become the Great, Moral, Reform candidate for the Legislature in the Sixth ward. lie shouldn't miss such an opportunity. In two more days I Gratz Brown takes the stump.

It there is any law in the State capable of protecting annuals from unnecessary cruelty, the proper officers of the Tadpoles should plead the statute in bar of persecution at once and effective- iy. "Why can't the Democrat say, if it wants to be fair, that Mr. Ilutchins introduced a bill in the Legislature to repeal the Mantz salary bill, and that he rook no part in its original passage either as chairman of the St. Louis delegation, or as ti member of the Ways and Means committee? From present appearances the Jackson Couiuy Barbecue, on the 2d, promises to be the largest and grandest art'iir of the kind ever witnessed in the West. Jn addition to the immense crowd certain to be present the array of distinguished speakers is witho.it approach in the annals of public discussion.

Registration in the Stare is progressing satisfactorily. Many of the pronounced Democratic comities have increased their vote at least ten per cent. while so far as our information goes, it is the intention of the people to wipe the registration law itself clean from the statute books. The Democratic victory in Georgia is almost unprecedented. In every single count- but three the Republicans lost everything.

That admirlh atn corrective regulates at A Ketro Orator's Idea of tbe Advantages ot lieiDS Poor. A correspondent of the New York Evening 1'vst in a letter from Dealing Springs, writes as follows. Last Sunday I assisted at baptismal meeting conducted by "Yaller Mcses," at the pool on Jackson's river. In front of the "Oak Swamp Meetin'-honse." iloscs is what one might call a sensation He can read, but otherwise is totally uneducated, and speaks in the broaelest negro dialect. On this occasion there were only four candidates for baptism three women and one man, eb Jenkins.

Jenkins had long been looked upon as a hardened "doner. He was bora and raised in Dinwiddle, was brought up by a gentleman from Lynch-burgh, and has for the test ten years gafaed a precarious livlihood by working around here and there for the farmers in the upper valley of the Jackson river. He is between tifty and sixty -re age. There was a sermon before the bapiiem. Moses is very fond of showing bis knowlddga of the holy book, which he always quotes, verse, chapter and page.

He apparently thinks this gives him importance in the eyes of the simple people whom he addresses. His sermon on the Sun-elay in question was 90 remarkable as to make me take short notes of it, which 1 here give "Belubbed bruddern and sisters, I take my text dis day from the gospel of St. Mathew, chapter nineteen, verse twenty-four. 'It is easier ror a camel to go turougu us eye oi a needle than for a rich man to outer into de kingdom oi Likewise, "also from the de. I gospel of St.

John, chapter tilth, verse twen- i tyinine: 'Search ye de scriptures.

De camel is a berry large animal, and is used in de East as a beast of burden; v. hen I say de east, I don't mean east Virginia, but de far east ob which St. Matthew "spesk in de second chapter and tirst verse ob his gospel, where he say: 'Beheld dere come wise men lrom de east to Jerusalem.

The I'tvce Libera of Genoa relates the follow ing details of Bazaine's stay in that city. Whf Mine. Bazaine and her nephew left the steamboat 3nd went to the hotel, Bazaine followed them dressed iu an old coarse cln'a coat and trousers, and carrying two traveling bags.

Tbey asked the hotel-keepei (in French, to each other they spoke Spanish) for two rooms for themselves on the tirst floor, and one for their servant on the third, and wrote in the travelers Ueok the name tecor and Senora Ravil'a, of Madrid. The pretended married couple desired rest above all things, as they were exhausted by the voyage, bnt wben they were al tne iu their room, they seemed ijuite recovered from their fatigue, as they were heard repeatedly to laugh loudly. The servant aUo showed no trace of weariness, hut held a lively conversation with tiie chambermaid about Genoa and tbe life led by the people. In about two hours Senora Ravilta opened tbe door, asked for her servant, and instead of having hiru called, as would have been natural, toiled most democratically up two pairs of stairs in order to speak to him. When the time came to descend to the table d'hote she secured a seat at it tor him, "an old family servant," but at a little distance from her and her husband.

The old servant never forgot his respect for his master and mistress, however, for when the latter oflered him a glass of Bordeaux he modestly thanked her, and contented himself with the table wine. Senor and Senora Ra-viila were in excellent spirits during the meal, and took not the least sums to conceal tbeir joy from the other guests. When they left tbe ti-ble, the laly asked for pen, ink and paper, and wrote a note to the steamship compan' Danovaro, and when it had struck 0 o'clock ordered the servant to set out with the baggage to tbe station, which he did after carefully brushing SeDor Ravilla's coat and hat. We will remark in conclusion that Bizaine appeared to be ell and strong. and showed but few whits hairs in bis mustache and beard.

The day after hia departure a polic.e-otiiccr appeared at the hotel, hundred very particularly about the vanished guests, and told the astonished host whom he had accommodated with loe'g-icgs. An uiudeiit TFrom the New Haven Pol iceman Badger of the Tenth station, had a bit of experience the other night which he is r.ot fond of talking about. It wa pat midnight es he was leisurely pushing his beat tb rot. ch Jessop street, and as became opposite to Iirtivlon Si Fogg's jewelry store he ob-erved gleams ot light through the chinks cf the shutters, sud rapped at the door. "Is that you asked a voice within.

"Yes. answered Cadger. "Well it's only me Vt's ail right; kind '0 ei.illv out, ir-tf I it?" so. I was jut fixin tho Urc "jo'-d Badge said "Goodnight." -ul pursued hia An hour afterward B.tdger rasscd thvuili street again, aud aain he saw tuj light in the jewelry stove, it didn't look liiit, and ho bunded the door loudly. cried the voice within.

"1 it vou. "Yes." "All right. Won't you come iu aud warm you It won't hurt anything lor you to slip horn your beat for a few minutes." The'door opened and policeman Badger entered, and ho found the inmate to be a very gentlemanly looking man, in a linen "Come right up to the stoye, policeman, txr-uge me tor a moment," The man took the ash-pan from the bol-. torn of the stove aud carried it down into tbo cellar and emptied it, and when he had returned and wip ed hi bunds be. said, with a saiilc: "Chilly night, "Yes." "Chilly outside, and dull iusidrf.

(Another smile.) New goods for tbe Spring trade, and have to keep our eyes open. Lonesome work, tbis watching all night; but I manage to find a bid of comfort in this. Won't you join me in a tip. You'll find it the pure thing." And the man produced a black bottle aud a tumbler. Policeman Badger partook, and having wiped his lips and given his finaers a new warming, he left filestore aud resumed bis beat, satisfied that all was right at Drayton A Fceg's.

But the morning brought a new revelation. TVrayton Fogg's store bad beeu robbed during the night of $0,000 worth of watches and jewelry, and although Policeman Badger carries in his mind a complete daguerreotype of the robber, the adroit rascal has not yet been found.

osU 11. A horrible accident occurred iu the Navy yard at 2 :30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, by which Mr. Edward P. aged thirty-five years, and a na'ive of Bordentown, Xew Jersey, lost his lite, and the details of the affair are as lollows: Mr. Sipler, who has a Wife and thief- c.liil- ortn, came here from New Jersey about 1 four months has since been in chtrge of the large circular saw used for cutting heavy timber in tne west sbiphouse or marine railway cover, and about 2:31 in the at- ternoon was adjusting the guides of a four foot circular siw, which was running at ta 1 rate of eight knndre I revolulioos pcr whr-n bo missed his strike, ana iha weight of tbe hammer-lisad carried kirn in front ol the saw.

As quick as lightning the saw took him before it as if he had been a chip, tn.1 iu an in-slant tbe top of his head was completely cut off. Next, oil went his risbt aim as I sev- ered by a razor, the body, "still animate, bet ing the victim of the saw, aud lyiug in pieces all around it, a horriblesight to look upon. The few liorreristricken" employes who could be gathered tried to reader assistance, but another revolution cut the body in twain i above the hips. In the mangling process the left arm-bone was bared entirely, the flesh being torn off, and in other places hangmg iu hreds. Death was instantaneous, and as soon as the machinery could be (topped the i maugled body was gathered up and taken to Botcler's uudertakihg establishment, on Eighth street southeast, where it was put together as best could be etone, and theu removed to the residence of the deceased, cor- uer of Tenth and streets southeast.

Tie stout, hearty man with black hair and moustache, in the ice-box, looked like a vailed nun, the wrappings were so numerous tirstto bind tbe upper port'on of his head to the lower, and next to" put a far as possible each disjointed portiou of the body in place. But yesterday he wslked out a proud hus- baud, and father of three children, who by i the remorseless turns of this saw are to-dy 1 orphans. His funeral will not take place until advice are received from his brothers in New Jersey, who have been tc-lenrauhed to iu regard to lbe sad occurrence. A Boy's Composition on litis'.

Dors Alexandria Tielrnrto the District of Special IMspalch to The Boston Globe. The Supreme Court of the United States will reopen its session, next week. Among the ao't interesting cases is that of Phillips Payne, appealed from the Supreme Court of tfce'lristrict of Columbia, which involves the lecaiity of the retrocession ct Alexandria Citv and county from this District to tbe Suite of Virginia. Tbe Supreme Court of the ditrict, it wiii be remembered, alhrmed lie validity tbe transfer.

Judge Wil-i lo'tthby, who represents the appellant, ill shortly make an ap pi lion to the Supreme court to advance tbe i au upon the i alendar. 1'e has consulted the AHericr-Gtiieral ot lbe IVdod States, wuo tiiick if ot rave import -mee the ea-e sPc j'ei be early th cided. but it is not that ti.e law oltiet rs of the I'nited Mates will any part in tbe artutuetit ot the case. The points ou which iUu appellant re lies are First. That, when aecepthig'tbc cession of Alexandria, it became partof the per-I matient capital cf tbe Cntted States, and Congress had no constitutional power to pass a law changing that relation; Second, that the act of retrocessiou is because it whs made dependent for its force and effect upon the votes ot a majority of the voters of Alexandria, tied Congress had no power to delegate to it legislative functions.

Tbe State of Virginia has employed uo counsel iu the case. Too Many YYIS for Man. A gentleman In Hartford. the other day. obtained access to a tree for the purpo-e of fastening a rope at some distance from the around, with which to form a connection wih an window of his house, tbe objective point being a clothes line.

Tbe tree standing en a neighbor's land, permission was obtained to occupy it. In order to have no serious obstacle to climbing, the gentleman stripped down to pants and shirt, and "harnessetl" the tree bareheaded. He mde a successful ascent to an elevation ot twenty leet at least, and was about to tie a sailor's knot when a wasp interviewed him. He dismissed the rope for a second and brushed the wasp away, and ttirued his attention to the rope again. More wasps arrived suddenly, and several of them stood upon his head, which is slightly bald, and he dropped the rope, which was not yet tied.

By this time there were wasps hoidicg a convention about his person. He thought he would aeljourn, and did. hurried- ly. fait'lv sliding down tbe tree and leaving "of his trousers along at Intervals to show that he had been there. Some ot the wasps came down, too, but most of them re-, mained around tbe rope, apparently wondering what was for.

There are times when it is to be a wasp than a man "up a "Jake's" Knt Trap. The Midland depot, at Hackensack, i not only a rendezvous for rats of human character but is inlcsted likewise, with thoBe of tbe animal persuasion. Almost any hour in the day. and eight too, they can be seen hopping out of lbe cracks in tbe platform in search of grain which is often left on the stoop. The natty-looking assistant-ticket agetit, "Juke," don't appreciate this kind of pilfering, and is engageet in manufacturing an instrument of death which will send the lHior rat into eternity without any time for devotional exercises.

Jake has a partner in this undertaking Who resides in Paterson, and freepiecit vifitsare made there with the view of matur-ing the invention as soon as practicable. A wire, attached to a telegraph instrument, is extended under the depot t' the northeast eorner of the building, where Mr. Bat mast frecjiien tlv makes his ariarutice. and there is plae-ed an ingeniously devised series ol springs, with some gra or other tempting f. od placed near it.

When the rat touches the spring Jake applies his ha'-d to the key ot the ln-trtinicui. and away goes the electricity upon Its murderous mission. The result ci.u be imagined. Tmo I'uly Men! From the Kew York Hera'il. It was on tbe edge of the wood.

The second failure of the bankiDg house of Henry Clews gives another clue to some government secret.

The humanizing influence of the turf is shown in the methods adopted to distance a rival. Old John Harper used to sleep in Longfellow's stable to guard against disaster, and now a man in a knit shirt has been pouring croton oil on the heads of horses and into their food, with the view doubtless of mak- ing an "honest race."

nlanjl 4m tecum tuiuuguuui UlC CWIC iamc JJIV.i. au November. There mav be a few counties along the South Atlantic coast which have voted the Radical ticket. The party had seventeen members ot the last Legislature, and, as the matter now looks, that number has been reduced instead of increased. UNAXIMOCS VOTE.

IX SOME COUNTIES. The returns from many counties indicate a unanimous vote for the Democratic nominees. There were a score of independent candidates, many of them being elected; but every one is a Democrat, and will act with the party upon every partizau test ejuestion. I must do the more intelligent members of the Radical partv in Georgia, white and black, the justice" to say that the course of their party in Congress and the Southern Mates for the last five or six years has excited their aversion. The white leaders are as bitterly opposed to the Civil Lights bill as the most pronounceel Democrat in the State.

They can see nothing in the future of that measure, but the direst ttotible to the colored race The great body of lhe black people do not want any such rights conferred pon them. ItEFOKE TUB ELECTION. In every county where the party could get an one tii consent to run, candidates were put forth. But never did party enter upon i-ampaigii in such despair never were prospects l'ei-s promising. Among the heavy items of tho load their speakers antl candidates hud to carry, was the great Freedrncn's Bank swindle.

That ueirinous fraud upon the poe.r colored people of Iieortria was the tirsi direct and undoubted th ft perpetrated by the Radical party upon them. They fully understood it a- such. alleasance in public office, robberies upon public treasuries, and the like, they had heard or Put cared nothing whatever about, for the-T eould not be made to understand tout tber hurt them even remotely. The negro is a dull creature who has no second thought about anything, order to make linn understand vou, you must give him a plain, practical demonstration. If you steal the money he has paid out for taxes he cannot see anything wrong; but if you put your hand in his pocket and take his money, or go aud get it where he has hid it.

you will arouse nu utmost indignation, and ha will thenoeforth be your pronounced bitter enemy. The Freedmen's Savings bank was laid before him as a cardinal principal, an orthodox tenet of the Republican party. He was made to understand by its conning, knavish orLctrs ttiat in order to be a Radical, in order to oppose the wbits race, putting him buck into slavery, in order to support Grant, aad in order to be counted as a member In i and good standing with the national partt which set him free, he must put all his surplus money in the bank. And he did so. And just before the election yesterday, the commissioners appointed to wind up'tbe bunk telegraphed to all the pa-psr that of the of the money which thev owed the neeroes, they only had 45,1100 oh band, aud they could not tell when they would be ubie to pay even the first dividend, to say nothing of the last.

They looked upon the repeated efforts ol the otticers of the bank to get their pass-; books from them as but an effort to rob tuera of the only evidence of indebtedness they have. liaviiig lost all confidence in the entire concern, are no longer willing to trust them with even these books, documents which all the world would, except them-1 selves, know to be nearly worthless, whether "adjusted" in the hands of depositors or in the exploded bank. COLORED DKMOTKATS. As a body, tlie colored people of Georgia arc docc with the Radical party forever. Toe lender fif Inn nrcaniyatinn have ehnteil.

swindled, lied to and deceived them for the last time. At the e'ectton yesterday whole batt iihonn of them voted "the Deaioeratio ticket. In Bibb county, where the colored vote is much stronger than tlie white, and i where reirular candidates were in the field i representing both parlies, the icmtHTatscar- ritd the day by l.sOO majority. In the city of Augusta theie were almost as many col- ored men vi ho vcted the ilieniocratic as the Radical ticket. Due or two of the counties reported as having gone solidly for the have large black populations.

It took the negro a long lime to find out who was his best friends to learn that his old -iter was a man who would do to trust a thousand times more than the carpet-bagger. Wilkes county, the home ol Toombs, did not est a sickle vote tor the Republican party. The negro who has heard Toombs and Stephens speak looks upon them as supernatural heines. Many of them can cot be made to believe that such eloquence comes from ordinary mortals. TIIK WOIIK OF H1F.

But the election yesterday unerringly indicates lhat the next ieorgia delegation in Coiigiea wiM be unaLl.iiOiiaiy In the doubtlul dii-tricts the party is most thorotisWly aroused and united. "There is no rooiu sn the Massachusetts delegation in Congress for a single representative of that (the lemocriic) party," says Mr. We answer, there is room in the Georgia delegation for a single representative who habitually votes for Massachusetts aud not Georgia It has now got to be even nauseating to the negro. "PKACX, GOO! WILL TOWAED3 MEN." The election everywhere passed without a single disturbance of any kind which hag been reported. Tbe most kindlv feeling new prevails among the races.

The white people bear no Ul-will towards the coiorcel. They have always censured them for being duped by carpet-baggers and voting for notorious malefactors, but forgave them, for they knew not what they were doing. But now that the have repudiated both the carpet-bagger and tbe scalawag, there is not even tuis cause of ciuarrel between them. it is to Congress we must now 100a ror causes of strife. There are none here.

From the Springfield Journal. We have received a note from Mrs.

Mrs. NichoLs asks for an additional supply of extra copies of the Journal containing the report of the proceedings in tbe mistaken identity case here a request we are unable to comply with, as Ihedemml fur extra copies from the lad's home and elsewhere, long since exceeded the supply. Mrs. Nichols concludes hi-r letter with ol sympathy for, and good advice to, the parties coucerneel: Through your columns I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy for that landlord in his disappointment of tbe $20,003 almost within Lis grasp, and advise him to "be sure be is next time before he "goes ahead." Ttadical Logic rfrcm the 8t, Paul Tioneer.

Every Kepubiican organ in the country is declaring that the present deplorable condition of affairs in the South is sutiident reason why the Uadical party should be kept in power. After nine years of interrupted rule DarKed by every et of usurpation, and ty-rany by a Uadical President, the people in their desperation have been driven to open revolt with aims; still the demand is tb it the same pack of tyrannical little creatures be kept in power for the good of the South. Surely, the logic of such reasoning is past eomprehcutiou. a IIOW MICH CCRRENCY IS NEEDED President Grant, at the time his last message was written, did not think there was too much money in the county. Then it was the dullest season of the year.

If there were not enough then, there could not have been anything like enough when the busy days came, and the demand was at its maximum in every direction. Indeed, if Grant meant anything at all by the financial portion of his last message, he meant that the notions of the eontractionists were all dangerous, and that something should be done at once by Congress, then in session, to point out exactly to the country what its currency needs were. Congress failed to do any satisfactory thing as far as this question was concerned, the President went back on his message in a strangely unaccountable manner, an adjournment was had, and to-day, just as it was the day of the executive recommendations, the solution seems as far oil' as ever. Still, discussion has done something. It has made plain the fact that before the war, when banking was free, and the issue of bank notes limited only by the necessity- of redemption, the amount iu circulation constantly varied according to the needs of business, being 201,700,000 in in 185., in 1S57, and 103,300,000 in ASr.O.

In addition to these amounts considerable quantities of gold and silver were in circulation. This volume of currency, however, then shown to be-demanded by the country can not be taken as indicating, approximately, the present needs of the people. Long credits were then aliuo-t universal, and scarcely auy business was conducted on a cash basis. The plenti-fulness and convenience of the greerbat-k curTney during the war worked a great change in this respect. Debts were promptly paid, and long credits became the exception.

Again, the notes of the old State banks, while being perfectly good where they were known, did not circulate extensively beyond a certain circle. Greenbacks, ou the contrary, pass current evewhere. All kinds of exchanges can be affected with them. They are the same in one State as in another, and will be taken as well iu Maine as in the Territories. This makes a vast difference in the amount of currency that can be ab-orbed by all branches of legitimate business, and a vast difl'ereuee as well between the necessities of the two periods.

Population has also mownfiom 40,000, ooo. All of industries hate more than kept pace itli the population. the notable improvement in the circulating medium, the amount of it demanded to aflcct the same volume of exchanges has larg ly increased, and through its processes everything in the way of trade and tratiic has seemed to enlarge in something like geometrical progression. And yet daily we are told by the hard money men that the amount of currency now in circulation i largely in excess of the demand, and that no real prosj erity can eer return to.us until a specie basis is reached, and that immediately. Let the people decide at the pulls.

The Vovcin-ber election is near at hand. TO TilL FKONT. The. hero of Tort Fisher, Bermuda Hundreds and 15ig Rethel. has been ii pain triumphantly nominated in the Ksex district, Massachusetts.

It is a common occurrence to hear men say that they have not only not registered, but that they never will register as long as the law itself is in force. This self- I difrancliiscmcut is one of the strangest phases of latter-day politics. livery voter has a paramount and abiding in-j terest in the administration of his city, I county, or State, and it will be ominous everywhere for a Kepubiican government when any considerable proportion of the people fail to perform that most vital i duty. If the registration law as it now exists is objectionable, repeal it. The last Legislature submitted to the people an amendment to the constitution provid-i ing for a vote upon this especial feature.
