dred and fifty Republicans, who are anxious
that the State should be admitted into the
Union, have issued an address to the people,
and recommend that all independent Rcpub-
licans vote at the coming election for Gill
bert G. Walker for Governor, John T.
Lewis, for Lieutenant Governor, and
John G, Taylor for Attorney General, in OPP
position to the Radical Republican nomina-
nations. The Atlanta Georgia. correspon-
dent of the New York Times Republican)
charges the defeat of the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the violent and abusive conduct of
Governor Bullock and other violent RepUb-
licans, and SAYS that under the circumstances,
the Democratic members, in justice to them
selves, were compelled to vote against it,
Nineteen Republicans of the Senate voted
against ratification. The same coIiespon-
dent says the opposition of the Republicans
in Georgia to the adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment, was for the purpose of keeping
the State out Of the Union, SO as to induce
Congress to pass more stringent laws, and
thereby benefit many imported politicians
whom the people are tired of. On Friday

press was burned, in its route from Allen

books were saved. Dispatches from Lima
state that the tropical summer has set in
with vengeance, and as one excessive hot
day succeeds another, the yellow fever, which
is raging in North Peru, must make its raw
ages felt in Lima and Callao. This disease
is said to be greatly encouraged by the i'm
mense Cooley trade which is now being car
ried on. Ships loaded with Cinnamon are

Grant has determined to appoint Qnakers to

New York Times Republican in speaking
of Cuban affairs, says: The pertinacity with
which Gen. Banks urges upon the House of
Representatives the recognition of the Cuban
insurgents as belligcrents, and the acquisition
Of San Domingo, as an addition to the United
States Territory, is not surprising. Mr..
Banks has fondness for patriotic display
which human reason cannot fathom He
rides hobbies, and as chairman ofthe Foreign
Affnifs Committee, he selects hobbies of for
cign origin: Alaska once absorbed his atirc- |
tons, and, Then came Ireland. Now Cuba !
has the larger part of his heart, and what is
left he generously gives to San Domingo
If he were tomorrow to patronize Mexico, |
or PROFOUND a scheme for the purchase of
the Sandwich Islands, there would be no |
wonder. 1t would be said that Mr.. Banks is
still Mr.. Banks, and there criticism would |
end. About enc hundred thousand persons
