In the church scene Miss Litta sang with more

SA.OOO,OOO Verdict.

Messrs. z. & 7. Collins, of Philadel-
phia, the contractors for building the
Madeira and Mamore Railroad, in Bra
zil, have received from Mr.. Thomas
Collins, of their firm, who is in London,
a telegram announcing "Court non-suit-
ed bondholders on their own evidence
ordered payment of certificates" This
refers to the Chancery suit between the
Bolivian bondholders and the contractors
for building the railway about the fund
of some 100000, which was to have
been deyoled to building this railway
but the bondholders endeavored to have
repaid to them. The decision unlocks
the money in the bank of England, or
ders the payment of the contractors fo
the work already done, and will make
the fund available for the further con
structon of the railway. The Ledge
says, this is gratifying intelligence, no
only to the contractors but also to tn
many persons in this city and its neigh
borhood who are interested in the fur
nishing OF materials for the railway, an
to the Reading Railroad, which, it is un
derstood, supplies rails and other wor
in considerable amounts.

WHITE DEMOCRATS certainly were
summoned upon the Jury in the Federal
court at Charleston, but the precaution
was also taken to summon none who had
not served in the Confederate army, and
SO, being unable to take the test oath,
were ineligible. 1t is worth remarking
that the oath was administered by clerk
and marshal who could not take it them
selves, being Confederate soldiers, at
the request Of a District Attorney, who
could not take it, being an ex-Confede-
rate soldier, and upon the order of a
Judge who lent the Confederate navy aid
and comfort in the person of his son,

The Use of Water.

After considering the subject for long
time, the Water Committee of City
Council has determined to make a new
assessment of the houses and other build
ings in the city where Brandywine water
is used. 1t is asserted that large sum
OF money is lost annually by the use of
hydrants that are not recorded on the
Water Department books, and are, there
fore, not paid for. The persons appoint
cd to make the new assessment are Allen
Ruth, Cornelius Stlnson, ii. B. Morrow
and J. Nicksrson. They will record all

is used, and the number of hydrants,

WHEN THE Herald attempts to correct
the GAZETTE it should do so In man
ner that may be to Its credit. We say
that there are courts in Philadelphia
where the Judges are all Republicans
We did not use the words "the entire ju-
dietary of Philadelphia are Republicans" ;"
And as there are only two Democratic
Judges out Of twelve on the bench there,
we were sufficiently correct. As to the
juries, it only happens now that the De-
mocrats are permitted to have reasona-
BILE proportion in that city because by a

MIR. CoNKLING's last "gre atest effort of
his life" took place yesterday. 1t was by
himself frankly confessed to be a politi-
cal speech. He said that the struggle
was for political power and predomi-
nance that the debate had been par
tisan debate, not intended to convert any
Senator Of either side, and it was in that
view that he had now offered some po-
litical observations. This, says the cor
respondent of the Herald, accurately de-
scribed the evident object of Mr.. COnk-
lng's speech, ana it is to his credit that
he openly confessed it. Like most of the
speeches-or perhaps like all that have
been heard in the Senate on the Army
bill, with the exception Of Judge Davis
it was directed at the country at large,
and intended to influence the voters, not
in the Senate, but in the States. The
Senate debate has differed in This from
that in the House on the Army bill,
which really cleared up points before
bsfogged, and closed appropriately with
an honest admission from Gen. Garfield
that it was not revolutionary, but consti-
tutional and legal to put riders on the
appropriation bills, and that the cry Of
revolution raised in the beginning wa,
nonSence.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, one of the
shrewdest business men of New England,
and famous as political economist, has
just re turned from an extended tour of
observation through the States of Geor-
gia, South Carolina, North Carolina and
Virgin "a. The result of his iuvestiga-
ton, as given in the New York Herald,
is interesting, and valuable as well. The
growth of internal traffic, and the extent
TO which trade is directly carried on with
the North and Vest by inland towns, has
seriously affected the business of Savan-
nah and Chal lesion. Another reason
which be gives for the condition of busi-
ness in Charleston is the extent TO which
her credit has been loaned to railroad EN-
terprise,. In Atlanta he found much
more encouraging state OF things, and 81
also in Lynchburg and Staunton, Va. A.
| regards the relations Of whites ant
blacks, he was a close observer. Th,
frequent testimony that the negroes wer,
id e, lazy and shiitless was disprovcd by
what he saw. The blacks manif ST
\ tendedcy to flock to the cities, but they
are mbnopolizing The market-gardenins
business, and many of them are becom
ing possessed of land.
The crossroads store keepers are one o
the causes why the negroes will not re
main pn farms in the county. Thes,
stores, he says, are largely kept by Ger
mans, and to charge no more than a pro
fit of seventy-tive per cent is considered
very honest by the dealers. Real estat,
values are generally increasing, and goot
educational advantages are being enjoye,
by the colored people. Mr.. Atkison sum
marizes his views on this general subjec
thus:
That the main difficulties with respec
to the relations,of the two races in tn
several States have been sllrmounted
that the colored population is rated &C
cording to The ability and the industry @
indlvidutls; that the white population
changing, and new class is spriugin
up. A new ownership of property
coming in. The tools are passing I
those who can use them. A grea
marked and absolutely permanen
} change dates within the last two year,
J SO far as the testimony Of both colors ca
be relied upon to prove it. The no,
prominent men express themselves we
satisfied with the new order of things.

TITS A NATTER of extreme regret to

IT Is A NATTER of extreme regret to
the Democratic people, as we'll for the
interests of the city as the party, that the
majority of the City Council cannot con-
centrate on contract and susl ain it,
1t is also little too bad to find members
of the Republican party voting to abro-
gate contracts by which the city is made
to lose the advantage that it had secured
TO put money in the pockets of con-
tractor. Aud this is certainly the case,
if what Mr.. Paynter said ,ast night was
true.
The City Solicitor ought to be ordered
to prosecute the contractor for non-fulfill-
ment of his contract. It,. is pity that
differences in political sentiment should
be allowed to cause the public interests
TO be trihed with and the city be mad,
the loser in case so plain as the one in
volyed in the removal Of the dirt from til
old quarry lot on Eleventh street.

Among the recent arrivals here was
Isaac Cook, of st. Louis, who has been
spending some weeks in Florida. Mr..
Cook, during the administration of Mr..
Buchanan was frequent visitor here,
and that time was MIR. Buchanan's post
master at Chicago and represented his
political interests in Illinois as against
Douglas Mr.. Cook, in a conversation
with some old friends to-day mentioned
several very interesting and entertaining
"reminiscences Of Mr.. Buchanan's admin
istration, showing his strong devotion and
attachment to his political friends and
also his generosity to the poor and needy
] Mr.. Cook said that he had always sup.
posed from public report that Mr.. Bucha
nan was very parsimonioss person
Calling on him on one occasion at tbt
Executive Mansion he found several in
digent persons, Of whom the Presiden
had some personal knowledge, and saw
him ha nd each Of them $5 gold piece
Mr.. Cook said, "Why, Mr.. President,
am a little astonished at your liberality
The people say that you are very stingy.'
Tho President eplied:-"During eacl
year Of my term pay out every dslla
that receive of my salary for household
expensts aud benevolent purposes.

which $ ample for any American gentle
man." Another incident mentioned re
lated more particularly to himself. ii
said that while he was postmaster a
Chlcagp Mr.. Holt was Postmaster Gen
eral, and had taken great dislike T.
him, a nd frequently annoyed him b
writing inpertincnt letters. So disagree
able, said Mr.. Cook, had my position be
come, that l determined to resign an
came To Washington for that purpose
/ After my arrival here ascertained tina
Mr.. Holt had informed the President this
, either Mr.. Cook or the Postmaster Ger
eral would have to resign. called o
, tho President and Informed him of III
, treatment by Mr.. Holt and my intentio
( to resign. Old Buck, in his peculiar an
expressive manner said, "Do nothing c
the kind" "But." said l, "Mr. Pres
dent, the Postmaster General has left IN
} no alternative" The President, in
: contide initial way, leaning over towar
me, said, "Well, let him resign" an
further remarked, "Now you may as We
rest easy in your Shoes" The result
. it was that returned to my Office i
Chicago with highly complmentar
, letter saying that he had no more efficler
