chased the French southwark along the ravne to Daguy

drew troops the north to resist the Prussians, whose
adyaace he slightly checked and the fight was stopped
byntght until the morning.
Bavarian captain Of artillery-a descendant Of the
knight Ulrich Won Hutton, tells the following:
at in the morning OF Aug 81, the Bavarians de-
bouched from the rayine at Remlly, TO prevent the

The Advertiser seems really to suppose
it obscured tho significance Of its action in
organizing and lesding bolts from the Repub-
lican party last Spring and last fall, and in
engaging in the short lived "Revenue Reform
movement of few weeks ago, BY reiterating
the statement Of some rare metropolitan idiot
that Mr.. Lynch and other Republicans of this
State are engaged in tie same political enter
prise. And it imagines that when it has ig-
nored the rather important distinction be-
tween the "Revenue Reform" or third party,
and the literal meaning Of the words revenue
reform, and has presented the members of
the former as the sole friends of the thing,in-
Dictated by the latter, it has obscured in dark
est4midnight all it, misdoing. But to make
its vindication doubly sure it again represents
its attitude to be simply that of honest criti.
cism of un worthy men and honest advocacy
Of necessary reforms. 1t would be glad to
have it forgotten that a few weeks ago it ad-
vised Republican members of the Legislature
not to participate in Republican caucus,
and that at still more recent period it ex-
ulted in being present at the birth of new
party. We appreciate the frankness of head
ing the article which is such chaos of apollo
gy, denial and falsehood, "Thats Lie" for
certainly nothing moro conspicuously disn-
genuous was ever written.

; "Tobv Caudors has removed to Augusta,
from which centre OF intelligence be sends to
the Boston Journal Q new contribution to
The Senatorial discussion, namely, q state
ment that Governor Chamberlain, accompa-
MED by bis Council, has been larking at the
Filth Avenue hotel in New York, and living
riotously on the States money under pre-
tence of visiting the unfortunate children OF
the State at the asylum for the deaf and dumb
at Hartford. This preposterous story, as the
Bath Times says with some natural indiena-
tion, "does mole than merely to show the
personal dislike which the writer has long en-
tertained toward the Chief Magistrate OF
Maine. 1t touches the honor of the State.
And we wonder that a journal, which Is gen.
orally circumspect, should admit to its col
umDs such bit of petty scandal. The peO-
pie of Maine have known Governor Cham
beraia too long and too well to believe that
he has been guilty of any small pilfering Of
the States money."-Aduertiser
Was there any more antccedent probability
Mr.. Advertiser, about those stories you pub
lishei, without word of dissenting com
ment, concerning the President? Is there any
sanctity that "doth hedge about" Governor
which ought not to shield President? Is IL
b.asphemy to speak of Governors stalking
his ease in his inn," and only praiseworthy
frankness to print stale falsehoods about
Grants decentralization and his league with
corrupt politicians? There is no unfriendly
criticism of the President, from sources wor
thy otanybody's attention, that has not been
given great prominence by our contemporary
but "Toby Candor" is forbidden to men
ton any rumor concerning the Governor that
is mott entirely credtable to that gentleman
under pain of receiving whitening" rebuke
which in this case takes the crushing form o
a defamation that he "has removed to Au
gustav When he receivers from the prostra
ton induced fby this "staggerer" as Dicl
Swiveller would call it, We have no doubt b

THE GEORGIA RESPONSIBILITIES received
frem different sections of Georgia state that an
average vote only has thus far been polled,
with the Republicans in tho ascendency. But
little disturbance at the polls is reported. It
is thought that four Republican congressman
at least can be counted upon. Should the
weather prove inclement during the remain
ing election days as it now threatens the Re-
publicans will carry the State by handsome
majority on the popular vote.

knife and made two lunges at the first mate,
who was about five feet from him, the steward
shooting him when he made the second lunge.
