Well. well-even Harper's Weekly

back on the carpetbaggers. In imita,
ton of Greeley, it says "they crawled
down to the South at a safe distance IN

der. and easily ingratiated themselves
with the simple and confding freed
men. Many of them were elected 10

Of course call themselves Republicans
because the Republican party was the
friend of the negro and the emancipator
of the South. And the Republican party
would be compelled to bear the iniamy
of all who called themselves kepupn-
cans. This has happened; and, more
than this, it is the conduct and reputa-
ton of the thieving carpet-baggers which
have furnished the only pretense OF
plea for the Ku-Klux. For it was said
that against the rule of such men the
laws we're invalid, and there was no rem
edy but selfdefense.

Telegraph Line TO New Orleans.
JACKSON, Mss, August 4.-The fol
lowing is from the Pilot: 1.-THE litiga.
ton which has been pending for some
time between the Southern Pacific and
Atlantic Telegraph Company and the
New Orleans and Jackson and the Mis-
sissippi Central Railroad Companies,
has resulted in favor of the Telegraph
Company. The United States Court,
Judge Hill presiding, sustains the in
junction to restrain the Railroad Com
panies from interfering with the erection
of the line, and refuses to enjoin the
Telegraph Company from building it.
This decision insures the completion of
a competing line to New Orleans with
out further delay, and is a matter of
congratulation to that Company and
especially to their Superintendent-Mr.
f. NJ. Speed-whose untiring energy
has thus overcome the many obstacles
thrown in his way The importance Of
the above decision to both the Railroad
and Telegraph Companies is evidenced
by the eminent array of counsel in the
case. Judges Yerger and Harris APP
peared for the Railroad Companies, and
Messrs. Adam and Speed, of Vicksburg,
for the Telegraph Company"

PARIS, August 3.-The following ar
the particulars about the cause of tn
Left Center of the National Assembl,
which voted yesterday for the proclama
ton of NJ. Theirs power as President o
the Republic. Deputies of the LET
Center, who are nominally all moderate
Republicans, were convened by circu
lar which bore the signature of M. Gam
BETA and others for the purpose OF shap'
ing policy for the party, and to take
some definite action concerning the
proposed extension of NJ. Theirs term OF
Office. The meeting was harmonious.
| All the members spoke in praise of Nj.
Theirs administration, and recommend
him as the only man who is now capable
to keep the balance between all parties.
The meeting decided to support M.
Theirs in his policy of moderation, and
to discourage the Legitimists and the
Bonapartists. One deputy submitted a
motion requesting the Government to
abstain from all interference in the
Roman question. 1t was accepted. 1t
was voted by majority of one hundred
and ninety against five to advocate
in the National Assembly the prolonga-
ton of NJ. Theirs powers for three
years, with the proviso that M. Theirs
should bear the title of President of the
French Republic instead of Chief of the
Executive, as heretofore. The meeting
resolved by the same vote to create the
office of Vice-President the Vice-Presi-
dent to be at the same time President of
the Council 1t was further decided to
express confidence in M. Theirs by Civ
ing him the power to chose the Vice
President; but M. Theirs alone is to be
responsible for the government,
The deputies of the Left Center in the
Assembly are negotiating with those of
the Right for prolonging the powers of
Theirs for further period OF three
years.
The Center, or moderate Republicans,
have refused to concur in Gambetta' S
request for joint party, to be composed
of the moderate Republican and Radical
parties in the Assembly, and to be
placed under the leadership of Gam
beta. This refusal has had the effect of
reducing the Radical minority in the
Assembly and rendering its influence
still weaker. The hopes of Gamhotta
for obtaining the leadership Of the party
are now almost lost.

PROVOKE.

The genius of the Indiana Legislature
is cropping out. That learned body has
passed what is termed the Provoke
law. 1t provides that any pereon who,
by words, gestures, or in any other man
ner provokes, or attempts to provoke,
an assault and battery, may be arrested
and fined. Impugning mans yeraeity,
even if he has no veracity to impugne,
wigpling your fingers at him, biting your
thumb at him, or doing any thing at
which he may choose to enrage himself,
is a provoke" which, while it does not
justify him in knocking you down, lays
you liable to fac. Happily for us
Tennesseeans, we have no Provoke law.
The luxury of biting ones thumb, or
wiggling ones fingers at corrupt officials,
is not to be dispensed with. Rather
than give it up to the sons of power, we
will precipitate all our friends into a
revolution.

BORGIAIsM.

Borgias are turning up rather alarm
ingly. We have a Connecticut Borgia
who amused herself by poisoning sew
eral doting husbands. We have a Bal
timorean Borgia who went for a General
and several other people by means OF
a deadly drug. We have now a case Of
BOrgia connected remotely with the
New York Tribune Office. Whereupon
we rise to inquire: What has the play
Of Lucretia Borgia had to do with pro-
ducing these American Borgias2 We
have never seen that play with pleasure.
It has never failed to impress us with a
belief that is not fit to go on the stage.
We can perceive no moral in it, and few
points to call forth the genius and power
of an artistic. We are not sure that it
should not be dropped from the stage as
a play dangerous to the public morals,
as it suggests the most horrible Of
crimes.

GeneraI Iael..on =. .ne rhea.er,


From the New Orleans Picayune.l
When General jackson entered New
Orleans, in the year after the memora.
BILE defeat Of the British, the manager OF
the theater waited on him to solicit the
honor of his presence at one of the per
iormances. This being promised, it was
resolved to compliment him with song
composed for the occasion. The per
formers were all Frenchpen, and none
OF them very conversant with the En-
glish language, but the best among them
was selected, and when the curtain rose,
the General, who sat in the stage box
was surprised at hearing his feats re.
corded in q song to the tune of God
Save the King" The chorus will give
some idea of this song, which afforded
much mirth to the Americans who were
present:
God shave General Shackson,
God shave General Shackson,
II be Won very great man,
lie shave New Orleans,
God shave General Shackson."
Whenever the name, of the General
occurred the performer turned to him
and made a profound bow, in the most
approved Paris fashion.

Rain, Hail. Snow.

We had all these during the week. Also, heavy thunder and sharp lightning. About four inches of snow fell here the night of tbe 22d inst, SO that with the rain which pre- ceded the snow, we arc now pretty well of for water. and the clouds promise more. The wind which accompanied the rain and snow storm was the heaviest felt here in A bong time. Tom Donovan, driver of the Wicken- burg stage, informs us that the wind blew the roof off the rd-house, at Camp Date Creek, and that as much snow fell there as here, which is something strange, consider ing how much lower and farther south it is.

 DIFFERENCE OF OffNIoN.-By advertise mcuts in to-day's MINER, it will be seen that Jackson McCnckin and Geo. A. Hammond differ, slightly, about the ownership of cer- tain feet in the Tiger iode. If we are cor. rectly informed, this difference of opinion arises from the fact that Mir. McCrackin says MT. Hammond was partner of his at the time the feet in question were located, and that, in consequence of partnership arrange ments, oDe-hAf the claim located by Mir Hammond belongs to him (Mr. McCrackin). While we are glad to know that feet in the Tiger are worth disputing about, we hopc this difference of opinion between two of our best citizens will be settled amicably.

o,ea, Excitemen. Over Our New Mines

Messrs. Ferguson and Bowen, farmers of Willow valley, near Prescott, returned home from Los Angeles and San Bernardino eoun- tics, California, early inc present week. and ssy that ths news of the rich discoveries re- gently made in the Bradshaw district had reached southern California, and was creat- i'm considerable ex citement among people tbcSe. This is as it should be. Said discov. cries are both rich and extensive, and with thc discoveries previously made, in other mining districts near Prescott, outrank those ever before made in any other mining region. and will, no doubt, cause laborers and cap- italists to pour into the Territory at \ rapid yata. Well, this is what we have been pray lng sur, ever SO long, hut, until now, have not had the "cheek" to encourage them to come, which we now do, confidently belieying,-- yes, knowing, that the region Of country ssr- pounding Prescott is the richest in the world. We believe, our miners believe, and unless all arc terribly fooled, "day has dawned in Arizona, whose citizens arc about tc be re. aarded for al the trials and hardships they have endured, while hol1ing the country against tbc devilish Apaches, whose power fos working much evil will soon be at an end.

Get Cows and Make Butter.

This has been our standing advice to the farmers ot this Territory, and we are not go- ing to quit giving it until such time as they produce more than enough butter to supply the home demand for the article. which is great, as butter is an article of diet highly relished by our people. Then, too, farmers can benefit themselves and the Territory by keeping tho money here that is annually sent abroad for butter of an inferior quality.
 But for l.. A. Stevens, and one or two other enterprising farmers of this vicinity. there would not, today, be pound of fresh butter in Prescott, for sale, and, although Mir. Stevens and others engaged in this busi. ness arc doing their bert to supply the de. mand, they yet fall far short of doing ii, SO th&; there IS plenty of room for others to en. gage in it, and do well, too. It does not speak well for the people of country like ours--whieh is covered with green grass the year roundto have to import most of tbc butter used by them, a thousand miles or more, at great oost, and the only excusc we can give for their neglect to do 60, is the fact that thousAnds of ooss have been stolen by the ApaehGs, which fact has deterred men from engaging in the dairy business, and, al. though the Apaehes are still as ready as ever 10 rob s man of his "bus,eys,7 close berdiBg will ioil their attempts al breaking up dairie.

 Now, that there is plenty of water, more gold will bc taken out of our plscers. and we will be enabled to chronicle rich strike now and then.
