On all these items the ohClal reports OF
the clerks, made in the winter Of each year,
show Murdoch to have been more extraya-
CANT than the democrats. Which il the
best showing? How do the men who pay
taxes like the exhibition?
The truth is that extravagance and waste
are as natural to radical otice.hoder as
water to duck. 1t was an impossibility
for the radical party to manage the city
affairs with as great prudence and economy
as the democrats, and the people, by the
official reports made by the City Clerk John
ston last year, and BY City Clerk Reid, this
year, can see it. The only remedy for the
extravagance, wastefulness and bad manage
man, sc w4.Aoch, condor Haversuck IS
for the people to vote them out Of Office
which they can do if they wish, on the I'd of
March.
We have done our duty in showing the
facts to the people. If the people of the
various wards will now do theirs the city
will be relieved of Murdoch, Hayerstck

Marriage Between the Races For

ATLANTA, June 22.--The Supreme
Court of Georgia to-day decided that the
code of Georgia adopted by the new con-
stitution, forever prohibits marriage re-
lations between white persons and per-
sons Of African descent, and declares
such marriage null and void. a ...
The second section Of the Code is not
repealed, nor is it inconsistent with that
part OF the constitution which declares
the social status of citizens shall never
be the subject of legislation. That clause
Of the constitution actually denies to the
Legislature power to pass laws on the
social status for compelling the two races
to unite 10 certain intercourse, as the
laws then in existence allowed churches
for instance to determine for themselves
who should occupy their seats, and
where they should sit, and permitted
railroad and steamboat companies, and
hotel keepers, to classify and assign
places to those using their accommOda-
tions according to their social status and
grade as they might think proper. a'
The social relations Of citizens are not
proper subjects of legislation, The
constitution has put the matter to rest by
denying to the Legislature the power to
repeal or enact laws on the subject

A CONGRESSIONAL IEQUEsFrs0N IN
NEW ORLEANS.
From the Nav Or,aans T;nAs

From the New Orleans Times.
Gen. Henry Gray, Of Bienville, was
subpenasd to give testimony before the
Congressional Committee now sitting in
this city to investigate the facts Of the
last election. From what we hear, the
Generals testimony was of very IN,
satisfactory character. He was asked the
cause of the small vote for Gen. Grant in
his parish, only two votes being received
for the Radical electors. i- '. I
The General answered That, as far as
he could learn from the negroes, TIE
reason they would not come up TO the
polls and vote was because the Provost
Marshal, who came to the Parish as a
Radical organizer, had promised, if they
would vote for the Radical ticket in the
State election, to give each one Of them
forty acres of good land, a mule, pillow,
hoe, axe, and set them up in the world.
! This promise had not been kept, and.
therefore, the negroes would not turn
out to vote for the nominees of the party
in the November election. I
Question--Who told you this was the
reason? l.u| -.-H. .. .i ..r..
AAswer--About five hundred of the
negroes themselves. @ l-E n,,'a
Question--Can you give the names Of
any Of these? '=tr s.t. . .e tri

Bill, Squint-eyed Joe, Bowlegged George,
Tom '.l.a. -..LII. .f.f ."s fH
Mr.. SteVenson-That will do. Please
give US their surnames. H.5 ..sl
Answer-Thsy never had any, at least
never knew them by such ., .ua
QuestiOn-HaEe you not been prom
iDent politician in this State? .. .rtI.
AnsWer-No. ffl.s-r g..r 4U
Question-Were you not member Of
the Legislature? ''''.
Answer-Yes; but was never prOmi'
nent. ..... ...I ..F- ..
Question-Were you not nominated
for the United States Senate in orpOsiS
ton to Mr.. Benjamin? -i.a l-..H ..
Answer s; was voted for.
Question-Did not this show that yea
were prominent politician? ..t H y /
Answer-NO; it only showed l had
some popularity; not that | was the
proper man for the place, any more than
the votes received by Gen. Grant proved
that he was fit to be President of the
United States.
"You can stand down, sir"
Thersupon the General retired, after
having been brought down all the way
from the borders Of Texas to give testi-
mony before the committee.

GRANT AND HAYTE.

Oar New CelOred Minister Snubbed in
Advance what Reception He Will
Get from SainaYe-HOw Negroes Love
One Another.
Port au Prince Correspondence Nassau Herald
The grand excitement here since the
arrival of the steamer from New York is
the news that colored gentleman is to
supercede the present American Minister,
T. II. Hollister. AS there is no other
Minister resident here, and as he is the
chief of all the foreign representatives.,
in rank, the Charges d'Affairs from
England, France and Spain, whe
are gentlemen of high social por
sition, do not feel complimented with
the news. The American Cousul
and other officers, representing us here
do not wish to have colored man for Q
chief. We have had visiting and stationed
at this port during the last ten months,
six American ships of war. The COM
mandants and the officers under them,
like the other gentlemen of our navy, are
persons Of culture and would not relish
this change. Rumor says that President
SalnaVe was heard yesterday to remon<
strate with the American merchants
in town against this measure, and
the parties present all agreed in
sentiment. The President remarked,
so the story goes, that he already had
more black men hero than he could take
care Of He considered the black race
equal to the white race, but asked very
pointedly whether our government en-
tertained such sentiments, if so, why did
we not send black men to represent us
in England and France? He said the
question was not what he thought about
the equality of races, but that he did not
consider the discrimination in favor
of Hayti to be complimentary. The
question might occur TO patriotic mind
why the present Minister should give
place to anybody. He is univer ally re-
spected here by the government and by all
respectable Amerisans. The abuse heaped
upon him by TIM Rebels, and made public in
ghe New Y ork pspersby hired sgeatsof the Sc
Adventures, have grown out of The simple
discharge of his official duties. His great
offense WAS that he treated Salnave as he
would have treated the chief, OF any other
nation.

A WOMAN OF VIM.
a Deserted Wife Proposes a New Code
for Mothers -fn-IaW

From the Troy Times, June II.
Yesterday Mrs. Annie Osborn ap-
peared in the city of Albany in search of
runaway husband, who, according to
her story, had elOped with or been stolen
by his own mother. 1t seems that Mrs. +
Osborn senior and Mrs. Osborn junior
could not dwell together in unity and 4
love under the same vine and fig tree;
and the former, having more influence
over the mind of the son and husband
than the latter had took him under her
apron-strings and ran off with him. An~
ME, the deserted wife and affectionate
daughter in law, thereupon publishes the
following card TO the public, in which
she shows that she is woman Of vim
and no mistake:
Information wanted of Charles Wl-
liam Osborn, who eloped with his sweet
angel Of a mother, who retains the fscul-
ty of disturbing the peace Of all with
whom she comes into contact. The lady
and gentleman who ara the cause of my
penning these lines, lived at No West
Thirty, eighth street, New York, and on
the 18th of May, 1869, the loving couple
eloped to Albany, including q sister,
named Libbie, black and tan dog named
Fanny, CARLOAD of furniture, and all
the hat boxes his mother could collect
for years. The gentleman who has 50
deeply fallen in love with the live stock
and dead stock above mentioned, deep
ly regret to say, happens to be the husS
band of the much prosecuted woman who
writes these lines. am anxious to find
him-not that l ever purpose stoOpr
ing so low as to live with him, bat
as he is twenty-siX years old, | have
serious thoughts OF assisting his moths
err to wean him. His stature is
five feet eight inches; he has brown eyes,
brown hair, moustache and goatee, and
is rather good 7looking-what | once
consider ed quite the pink Of beaux. The
the angels name is Hannah Osborn,
widow of David Osborn, who lived near
Rensselaerville. Her maiden name was
Lagrange. l wish those gentlemen who
have the ruling of things in general,
would have the kindness to enact law
allowing people to hang, choke or
smother ali mothers>in-law who intenr
tionally and maliciOusly make disturbr
ances between husband and wife. Any

ures to prevent the departure of iilibus-

ton of the Attorney General TO the arrest
of the Cuban insurgept Junts in New
York as satisfactory. The more Vigor-
ously the neutrality laws are enforced at
the outset, the more easily will the public
mind be led in u right direction.
Sympathy for nation struggling
for freedom lie natural TO Ameri-
cans as we'll as Englishmen, but the
sOoner the people are minded that a neu-
trail country has duties incompatible with
the sending out of privateers
and warlike expeditions the
better. Neutrality is not likely to
exist unless the laws as they
now stand are enforced, and when
laws are insufficient they ought
to be amended English lawyers
and statesmen may, to their own aavsn-
tsge and instruction, watch the result Of
the proceedings instituted in the United
States of America. The slatnte dealing
with the subject is almost identical with
the English law. The ease will form
precedent Of policy worthy of considera-
lion and imitation.

FEARFUL DEATH OF AYOUNe WIFE

The wife of Hezekiah Greenlee, OF
Mason county, West Virginia, was in
stantly killed one day last week under
the following circumstances: In company
with her husband she was returning
home by a near path through the woods
from neighbours, where her husband
had been at work during the day. They
were walking home hand in hand, net
dreaming Of any danger, when 9ead
tree they had just passed sS;;..,..denly fell,
brushing the shoulder of Greenlee and
striking his wife on the top of the head,
crushing her to the earth in one solid
mass, breaking every bone in her body,
so that her remains could not be recog-
nized as those of human being. Strange
to say, Mr.. Greenles was not injured in
the least, further than being stunned for
a few moments. The evening was a calm
one, and it is supposed that the tree,
which was rotten at the roots, gave way
from its own weight. Mrs. G. had been
married little less than six weeks.
