Archibald Stuart Gather of the
Hon. Alex. II. Stuarl) J presiding,
was'in session. An illustrious
man-then, as at all times, the
observed of all Observers
walked into court. The judge,
on perceiving that Thomas
Jefferson, stately and erect,
was standing before him, bowed
and invited him to take a seat
on the bench. To this Mr.. JET.
ferSon replied: "As soon rs
your honor shall. have leisure
to attend to me, l have a mat.
ter sof business which | wish
to present TO the court" I'm.

Thaddeus Kosciuszko; that the
will was written entirely in the
handwriting Of the testatoT
that he was well acquainted
with his handwriting, and could |

which he stated. The usual
oath was then administered by |
the clerk, the necessary inter.
rogatoriea formally put, affirm

was by order of the court ad,
mitted to record.
Mr.. Jefferson then stated
that, at his advanced age, it
was not in his power to under
take the burden Of the execu.
ton { f the will, and thereupon
declined to qualify as executor.

LIMA, Feb. - 1869.
General Megsrejo has again proclaimed himself
Dictator OF the republic. In Cabinet council held
on the Sd instant he declared that. very general
dissatisfaction appeared to exist against the const
tuition Of 1868, which, indeed, caused the late revolt
and which was then in force, he had determined to
abrogate 1t and assume dictatoral powers until the
meeting OF the next Congress, when new constitu-
ton should be adopted In the meantime the govern
ment Of the country to be carried by himself with
OF the proposal, and the public proclamation was
consequently made. Popular opinion is not very
much exercised concerning the NATTER as the Pro-
visional Presidency of MegareIo differed only In
very unimportant particulars from the position he
now assumed. The rev0ut0nlsts have lost the
plea they had against the consultation. and cannot
Wen raise the standard OF revolt against tile man
who has at single dash of the pen accomplished
that which they vainy endeavored to do BY force Of
arms.
Somewhat of difficulty has arisen between
BuenoS Ayres and Bolivia, owing to the presence of
the Argentine General, rebel and buslwhacker,
Fellfe Varela 10 the province OF ALacama. The Ar /.
gentine authorities demanded his expulsion from
Bolivian territory, and the request was acceded to,
but on endeavoring to execute it the Governor Of
the province found Varela too strong for him. and
more forces are on the way to complete the business
The Argentine officials allege that the story of
Varehi's strength ls hctluous hence the mlsunder-
standing.

Since he was welcomed by young man wno lnline-
diately commenced furious onslaught on the Gene
raj and his stan, throwing stones and anything he
could lay his hands on at them. For moment the

GEORGIA AND THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
ga Miserable Surrender"

From the Augusta Ga.) Consntutionalisx March Ia
We are not surprised, but very much disgusted IS
the ratification OF the Fifteenth Amendment BY the
so-called House OF Representatives Of Georgia. Up
to this period the State OF Georgia has, In spite
OF many drawbacks, held Conspicuous position
in federal politics south OF the Potomac ana
been classed with the unterrifed States which
still, IN the forum OF reason. stand forth As the
champions OF what Is left OF civil liberty, the
rights Of commonweaths and the purity OF race. SO
majestic was her position that she scared above
her sisters In misfortune, while all honest men COM
bined to honor her, and even the federal Congress
testified its respect By nesitatirg 10 push her utterly
beyond the pale Of Union. But the applause OF
good men everywhere ana the timidity OF bad men
ut washington may rs well cease, 90 far as the
House OF Representatives at Atlanta Ii concerned.
Tue valor Of It's members has oozed out, like Bob
Acres, at the finger tips, and the courage which
simulated the lion has been revealed ls tho dsgused
pusillanrniy Of an inferior animal. Since the mem
bers Of Assembly are SO fond OF reconsidering let
them by all means recall their miserable action OF
Friday; let them abjure their cowardly surrender.
AZ the case stands they have not only submitted
cravenly to the rod that threatened them, they
have voluntarily apologzed tothe negroes for daring
TO consider that white men were really tribe their
nuperiOrH.
