UNSOLICITED INTEREST on UNITED
STATES BoSDs.-Circulars are still being
sent from the Office of the Treasurer of the
United States to parties whose address Gun
be obtained to whom interest is due on the
registered bonds of the United States. The
list originally comprised about 500 names,
and the aggregate amount of interest due
on the various bonds owned by the parties
was over $3.50 in gold. Recently seve-
raj of the parties have been paid from the
Office of the treasurer, but in the majority
of cases they were national banks and
others, and the sums due them not gene
rally very high. These bonds range from
the dates of 1878 to as late as 1865.
Among the names appearing on the list is
that of Lewis Cass, who is accredited with
$3.50 due on bonds Of 1865, which are
returned to the department as having been
registered in New York, and another to the
Countess Caroline H. Bouxhoden, who Is
accredited with $3.50 on bonds issued under
the act of July II, 1861, registered at Phi
ladelphia. The treasurer is busily engaged
in forwarding to the parties interested cir
culars announcing the fact that they have
amounts to their credit at the department.

Radical letter from MIR. Boiling, Of

Fc-usr's Chronicle of yesterday contains
tho following letter, which may surely bc
pronounced remarkable as coming from 8
y;rviDian. We would add, by the way,
that whilst the Chronicle gives list o!
gentlemen from whom letters were received
by the committee in charge of last Tues
DAYS parade in this city, and prefixes the
names of Sumner, Bolts, Porter, and Nc

find on that list the name of single negro.

"For all the poverty, anguish, and op-

The Georgia Northumberland Eli
gibility.

ATLANTA, August 27.-1n the Senate the
bill postponing the election IN the city OF
Savannah till the second Tuesday in De-
cember was passed-33 to 7. The bill also
increased the number of ballot-boxes to
three. Campbell (negro) opposed the post
ponement. In his remarks he SAID II the
ballot boxes were in one building the ne
groes would have no chance to vote, and II
not allowed to vote will fight.
In the House there was long and warm
debate on the minority report on the eligl-
bility of the negro members, and the right
of the negroes to hold office.
Mr.. Tumlin said the question was one OF
vital Importance to both races in Georgia.
We are here consuming the peoples money,
and the action of the Legislature is clogged
until the question is settled.
A motion to reconsider the reception OF
the minority report was agreed to-ayes,
So; nays, So.
Scott (Democrat) spoke to the motion to
adopt q substitute declaring all negro
members ineligible. He said this Govern
ment was founded by the Anglo-Saxon SUI
periority, and the supremacy of this race
would never be ended on this continent
This was the question 10 uecluc. 1he he
groes we're an ignorant and servile race. A
majority of the colored members of The
House could neither read nor write, ano
did not know what the Constitution ano
laws were. The Supreme Court of the
United States had interpreted the Constitu
ton for every State of the original thirteen
| and recognized the African as a separate
race. Washington fought to establish
white mans government, and no change
of administration can make the negro
socially or politically the equal of the white
man. The right to be sued gave no politi
cal rights. The emancipation proclamation
simply declares the negro to be free per
son of color. This we do not deny to them
but we do deny their right to sit her
and make laws for the white race. Nelthe
the laws of Congress nor the reconstruction
laws give the negro the right to hold office
He quoted q speech of Ex-Governor 10
Brown to the effect that "our Constitution
does not confer on the negro the right t
hold office, but simply to vote" Nelthe
| the Constitution of the United States no
the Sherman-Shellabar bill conferre'
the right on the negro to hold office; an
where did the Georgia Legislature get tn
right to confer it upon them!

LONDON, August 26.-It is said here that
the ocean mail service between the United
States and Great Britain Uid Southampton
lines will soon be discontinued, and that
the malls will all be sent by British steam
ers from Queenstown. Although this is
known to be in accordance with the PROPOSE
ton made to Postmaster General Randall
some time since by the British postal au-
thorities through Mr.. Trollope, Americans
here hesitate to believe their Government
has assented to an arrangement which
would reduce the present service by nearly
one-half and deny mail carriage to several
steamers which have proved to be among
the fastest engaged in transatlantic travel.
LONDON, August 26.-Letters from Paris
state that the Queen of Spain had requested
the Emperor Napoleon to meet her at Bar
ritz, and the Emperor declined.
BERLIN, August 26.-The official journals
here say that the Prussian Government has
accepted the proposals made by the United
States for the establishment of effective re-
eulations for the protection and welfare OF
emigrants, and that agents have been ap-
pointed to negotiate with the American au,
thorities on the subject. 1t is understood
that the Prussian Minister at Washington
has been instructed that, as the mutual re-
lations of Germany and the United States
are now on such favorable footing, the
Prussian Government expects that these
negotiations will be brought to speedy and
satisfactory result.
PARIS, August 26.-Marshal Valiant,
Minister of the Emperor's household, was
present at the CouncilGeneral of DIXON,
and made q speech calculated to have
highly tranquillizing effect, coming SO soon
after that of the Emperor at Troyes. de
congratulated the members Of the Council
and people of the department on the sue
cessful harvests. The blessing of abundant
crops, he said, was more readily appre-
ciated by the people, and they had reason
to feel assured by recent events that they
would enjoy their prosperity in peace:
The Marshal made happy alluslon tc
the speech Of the Emperor at Troyes, which
he cited in support of his declarations, anc
he concluded with this sentence: " Abun-
dance in peace, but not maintained at the
expense of patriotism" This is the sum
mary of the present position of France.
HONG KONG, July l5.-Reports have
reached here from the North that the I'm
perial troops have gained great victory
The army of rebels which for severa
months menaced Tientsin while retiring
south was overtaken by the lmperia
forces. The latter were assistedby European
officers and engineers. A great battle tool
place, i'll which the rebels were totally de
feated and routed. There is great rejoicing
in Pekin over the result.
PARIS, August 2G.-The Pays, in an edi
torial on the European situation, say
France is willing to accept the posslbllltI
of war if Prussia refuses to disarm.
BERLIN, August 26.-At the conclusion
of his sojourn at the German watering
places the Emperor of Russia will proceed
to Warsaw on his return to st. Petersburg

The pRosprcr--Frrrr THOUSAND DEMO.

| The PRospEcr-FIrTr THOUSAND DEMO
CRATIC MAJORITY IN dEoRGIA.-The &C
counts which we receive from the different
portions Of the State through our exchanges,
private letters, and personal observation,
inspires us with the belief that the canvass
is so far progressing az effectively and with
far greater prospects Of an overwhelming
victory than we had anticipated. The peo-
pie everywhere arc fully aroused, and the
work of organization 10 being pushed with
vigor and enthusiasm heretofore rarely
witnessed in the State. The fifteen OF
twenty thousand white voters who, seduced
by the false promise of relief, or frightened
by the silly bugbcar of confiscation, voted
with the Radicals in the late gubernatorial
contest, are everywhere renouncing Radi-
calism and returning to true faith.
The honest white men of Georgia arc
proving by their return to the Democratic
fold that they cannot be twice cheated by
the ,thieving band Of robbers and ,perjured
scalawags who now have control of the 80
called executive and legislative depart
ments Of the State. They were induced
in moment of weakness to abandon the
faith of their fathers; but their eyes have
been opened to the infamy of their late
associates, and they are deserving them by
hundreds and thousands.
Side by side with those prodigal sons OF
the white race we find thousands Of the
more honest and intelligent negroes march
ing boldly to the rescue of Democratic
principles and the restoration of constitu-
tional government. .,-..
We have never known such sudden, ex-
tensive. and overwhelming changes as have
been wrought within the last twenty days.
We had calculated that with the accession
of the ten or fifteen thousand white votes
disfranchised by the military bills, and the
certainty Of free election SID an honest
count of the ballots, we should carry the
State by fifteen or twenty thousand ma lori
| ty. But the current Of changes has set SO
strong with the Democracy-the demorali-
| cation of the Radicals is so complete-the
| organization of the Democracy so perfect
that if our friends continue their exertions
to the end Of the campaign with only hall
the zeal and activity they new manifest
zoe shall carry the State by forty or .Dty
thousand majority for Seymour and Blair !!
This is no wild prediction. 1t is based
upon facts and figures which assure US OF
its approximate certainty. Let the true
men Of the country but ,riH it, and it is al
ready accomplished. Let every man work,
in season and out of season, from now until
the lst of November, and We shall have no
fears that we may be forced to change oul
figures Georgia paper.

The Coming Election i'm North Caro-
lina-White Federal Troops Moved
and Repiaced by Negro Regiments.

RALEIGH, n. c., August 27.-This city
has been quiet since the departure of the
Legislature on Monday last. We are look
ing for warm Presidential canvass, and
both parties are moving energetically.
Most of the white United States troops
are being removed from the State, and one
or more regiments of negro troops are being
concentrated in the State limits. This Is
seriously deprecated as an unwise and
hazardous arrangement. The people have
confidence in the white United States troops
because of their superior discipline and
capacity for control.
We anticipate no disturbance at the cleo
ton but from the misconduct of the black
voters. The whites will not disturb them
in the exercise of suffrage, nor will they
provoke discord, but they will not yield
any of their just rights.
