reason. Senter maintains that the Leg
islalure will raiify the 10Th Amendment;
and in abiding to his own politicalviews
and those Of Brownlow, uses the follow
ing language: Brownlow is to-day ss
strong, as ardent, and as unAinching O
Republican as he ever was. In what
has he chnnged2 He is an enthusiastic

Brownlow is the youngest man of his age
(if / may be permitted seeming para
dox) in the United States He is true
progressive Republican. Probably you
remember the fact that he intimated, in
his message to the Legislature in 1869,
that the time would come when the fran
chise would have to be extended-that
is, when it would be safe to trust it in
hands of those who had been connected
with the rebellion, when, in fact, they had
become loyal at the late election. He
felt that the time had come, and he advo-
Gated the extension of the franchise"
The State Department has received no
official confirmation Of the statement that
the Chinese Government had refused to
ratify the treaty made with this Covers
ment by Burlingame's embassy year
since, but there is unofficial information
which leads to the belief that the treaty
has been rejected, and that the French
and English in the Chinese Empire have
united their combined efforts to secure
such rejection. Ross Brownies dis.
patches intimated that such efforts were
on foot, and il is not unlikely that they
have prevailed. He is now on his way
home, but as Howard, his confirmed sue
eessor, who is now here, has virtually de-
cined the mission. it is understood thp.t
the President will request Brown to
stay and labor for the ratification of the
Burlingame treaty.
Accounts from the growing crops,
received at the Agricultural Depart
ment, are of a very favorable character,
while all the cotton States, except Georgia
and Florida, reported the condition of
the cotton crop in July as considerably
below the average of the crop Of 1868 at
the corresponding date Nearly all now
report an improvement upon the late
estimates, and several of the important
cotton regions report the condition az
better than in August of last year, the
weather having been generally propitious
and the injury by the worm compara-
lively inconsiderable. The crop is esti-
mated at nearly three million bales.

THE LATE RIOT.
Fall Particulars Of the outrageous
Affair.

We take the following from the Somer-
vile Falcon, of the 26th inst, which
gives all the reliable particulars of the
riot near that place:
| On Monday last our village WAS all
anxiety upon hearing that the Sheriff
OF the county, together with the Coroner
and other citizens, had received messages
requiring their presence at Macon. Upon
inquiry we have been enabled to learn
the following facts relative to the origin
of the trouble. A negro raised by Dr.
Tsrpley had a difficulty on Saturday last
with two young men, E. johnson and
A. Boswell, in which Mr.. johnson
struck the negro with stick. On
Sunday brother of the negro was met
by young Boswell and Johnson. having
and wearing q pistol around his waist.
On meeting him young Boswell remarked
that he had understood that he had
threatened to kill him, and demanded to
know if it was true. The negro replied
that it was and id if he didn't do it.
The young men then demanded his pis-
toll, saying to him he was carrying il for
them. He replied stating that he
wonJd not g;va nm b;s n;atol m any
d-n white man. at the same time
nlac;ng b;s hand on Il and attemnt-
inc 10 draw Il. and tbereupon Young
Boswell shot and Instantly killed him
The two Young men then left the town
togetber which was lint a abort time be-
fore sunset. During the night about two
hundred negroes collected in the town of
Macon, armed with sholguas, pistols and
other weapons. Twenty-eight in number
went with Anthony Mathews, Constable
of this county, to the residence of Mr..
ID. S. Boswell, the father of the young
man who done the shooting, for the pur-
pose of arresting him. The house was
searched. and not finding the younger
Boswell, the negroes, in q violent and tur
bulent manner, cursed and abused Mr.. ID.
s. Boswell, and threatened to hang him,
and let him hang until his son was pro.
duced, and stating that if he and john
son did not produce their sons they would |
burn their premises. From Mr.. Bos-
wells this crowd went to Mr.. Johnsos's
with the declared purpose Of arresting |
young johnson, and, thereupon, fail
ing to find young, Johnson, they |
cursed and abused the father Of the man,
and made the threat to burn his house if |
he was not produced, and closed their |
acts at Johnson's By firing the Clubhouse !
on his place, which waa discovered in
time to be extingaished by johnson and |
his lahorers. The negroes returned to
Macon from Johnson's, Mr., Mathews, the |
constable here, parting company with
them, at which place they remained dur
ing the night. Next morning pickets |
were placed by them out on the public
roads leading in aud out Of Macon, and
citizens refused passage to their homes.
Information was brought to the Sheriff
on Monday morning OF the above facts,
and he Immediately repaired to Macon
With about thirty men, Seven or eight
men, with the Coroner, had preceded the
Sheriff, and found on arriving at Macon
about sixty negroes armed on the square.
Riding up, the Coroner and his squad OF
seven or eight men. when within a few
yards, the negroes we're told to surren

1t may DO well To- consider 1t briefly
In more general sense; for no term
occurs 30 frequently nor Is more impor.
tant In nosology or pathology:
Whenever the circulation Is unbalRnc.
ed, congestion occurs somewhere. Some
organ or part will have too much blood
aud. other organs and parts too
little. One organ or part can not well
perform Its function because 1t Is over
loaded with blood, and the other organs
or parts can not properly do their duty
for want OF sufficient material. In
either case the whole System Is dIsor-
dered nothing Is done well. There IL
only one condition of disease In which
the whole superficial capillary vessels
are congested, and that Ia in the hot
stage Of what are termed high fevers,
and active infammatious. In these
forms OF disease there Is a preteFnatural
determination OF blood TO the WhOtc
surface; the skin Is hot, dry, 1orld, and
turgld. In all othar forms OF acute
diseases, and In all chronic diseases,
congestion occurs In the internal organs.
And as the brain Is physIologIcally the

largely supplied with blood, according
10 us siGs, than any other organ In the
body, It Is more liable to severe ind
fatal COMPOSITIONS than any other organ
In tho body.
Bear In mind that 1t Is the relative
rather than the positive quantity OF
blood In the different parts and organs
OF the body that we are to consider, Ia
contemplating the nature and effects OF
congestion. In perfect health the cir
culAtlon IL, OF course, perfectly
balanced. There ls never too much
