Letter from New York. i-pecial correspondence Savannah Dally Herald.] Nkw York, Monday, Sept. 7. Repudiation. A shrewd financier stood, a patieqt listener by a crowd who were discussing the question of Repudiation. The majority of course, scouted the idea of government repudiating its indebtedness, and somo argued at length what a disgraceful proceeding it would be. At length the financier broke in—would be ? Wiiv my dear friend are you not aware that the government is now, at this very moment engaged in the work of Repudiation ?” “No, sir How so ?’’ ’‘Why they have issued mil lions of Treasury uqtes,, making them legal tenders, have they not ?” “yes." “Well— they have an Internal Revenue law, collect ing a tax on incomes, etc. This tax is paid in iegal tenders, is it not ? “Yes,” “Well, what becomes ofthose legal tenders when paid into tho. Treasury—are they not des troyed ? Does not the government issue these notes—then make a law requiring them to be given up, and then destroy them ? This is the strongest kind of Repudiation, fora government to destroy all evidence of its in debtedness.” The crowd dispersed enlighten ed. A Very Abrupt termination was brought to a close before a To .mbs Magistrate, which, as it proceeded was becoming intensely interesting. The other day, Mrs Kate Curry brought a complaint against Mrs. McGowan, and being put on the stand, was told to state her case as. briefly as possible. This she proceeded to do as fol lows : “Mrs. McGowan, sur, is always trowin’ wathcr an me, sur, aud I niver do natbing to her.. She kem down to me house, sur, an’ she called me a dirty w—e, tor fwhot, says I. Bekase sed she. How, sed I Very well, sed she. You are a liar, sed I. No, I’m not, sed she. So, up she kem, an’ sed at my childer eye are bastards. No they 're not, sed I. Yes tUfey are, sed she, and so I jist —. Judge : Oh ! Get out of here ; don’t c jme here again. Aud the judge proceeded to take up other cases of more minor impor tance. „ Miscegenation don't work yell in all cases. An instance of this sort of love, no matter how true it might at some time have been, becoming rather rough, was brought to the notice of _ one of our'magistrates a few days since. An “un ble.,cbed citizen,” as they call our dusky fellow-beings at the South, was married to a blooming daughter of the Emerald Isle. She loved him. perhaps, for the persecutions his race bad suffered. And he doved her that she did pity them. All went on happily |or a while. But at leugth Sambo (I think that was bis name,) became absent minded, and this was followed by absent bodied, towards bis spouse. Ho was at last discovered m “close communion” With a dark-skinned damsel, as dark as himself, and brought up for desertion of his lawfully wedded Wife- The magistrate asked him what response he bad to make to the complaint. Sambo drew a long breath awl then stftd : “I got dis to say—l can’t lib wid a woman dat chaws smiff and plays policy—an’ I wont. Dat's ' niland he brought his fist down upon the table in front of him with emphasis and much earnestness. Os course the magistrate was leveed by his oath of ofilce to fill up a-com mitmeut for Synbo, and he now “libs" in the Toombs. Patriotism. A friend of mine—a man of parts and a liberal allowance of avoirdupoise—one who, withal, has seen service in the Bohemian armv, and participated in the tramp,, tramp, tramp of Grant’s and Sherman’s soldiers— since that cruel war has ceased, has indulged in the luxury of a suit of new store clothes about once a week. This devotion to dress, has been so constant that it excited the re mark of all iiis acquaintances, and one and another had attributed a reason—one that he was hard to suit—lienee so many suits. An other that he was laying in a stock for an other tramp. Another that he was aiming at becoming the best dressed man on Broad way. At length a dispute arose as 'o which was the true reason, and an appeal for a de cision was made to the man irmself. His reply was—‘‘Patriotism!” This leit the in quisitive crowd ns much in the dark as be fore, and they begged ot him to explain. “Why,, you see,” said he, “to show’ our patriotism and loyalty we are cnlled upon to support the President. Now,'the President is a tailor, imd as he carries on business in Washington, and we have tailors here, it answers the same purpose if we support the tailors here.” . Working up an Appetite # for breakfast is something which not a few are, at'times, put to their wits ends to ac complish—some take a horseback ride some a carriage ride—some indulge in pedestrian ism—some boat exercise—some swing dumb bells, Indiau clubs, paving stones, or other deadweights—some saw wood—some take bitters—some gulp down a raw egg all smothered oyer in wine—indeed, there are a hundred various ways resorted to, in order to work up an apetite for breakfast. A friend of mine tells me how he does it. He jumps out of bed about six o clock, runs to his hen coop—takes out his cock (a fine, large fellow, a mixture of black Spanish and game,), tosses him over the tence into a va cint lo*, where there are other fowls, and always one or more cocks, and it ia not long before a fii st class cock fight commences. Whether it is she anxiety concerning the result, or what not, my friend says in fifteen minutes be has an appetite capable of facing anything. Ho also says he finds hfs cock always has a remarkably voracious appetite after hi# morning’s exercise. It lied To Be the remark of the late Mike Walsh that it required more brains in a man's head to man age to cross Broadway in raid-day than it did to discharge the duties of a Justice of the Peace in the country. It is a lamentable fact that the magistrates in the country do, at times, exhibit a wonderful paucity of brains, and a case has lately occurred in King’s county. It appears that a man mar ried a woman, who, he afterwards learned, had a husband living, but in the army. He then married another woman; wjiereupon an acquaintance, cognizant of the facts, com plained of him, charging him with the crime of bigamy. The magistrate before whom the complaint-was made, after hearing all the tacts, held the man, who is now in prison awaiting a more intelligent decision by a Grand Jury. A Reception, “ as was a reception,” was one of the sensa tions of our streets this week. It came off on Monday afternoon, and our people were rejoiced to see the Eighth Regiment march up Broadway, escorting the Forty-sixth veterans, who had just returned from the war after long and honorable service. The appearance of flags all tattered and tom by shot and shell seemed to again touch the hearts of our community, and they were cjieered and hi-hi’d at every step, the ladies on the wa-'ks vieing with the gentlemen In their handkerchief demonstrations. The Eighth “put through" the veterans in fine Style, gave them a handsome dinner, and did everything in their power to impress upon their warrior comrades the joy they felt at seeing them home again, aud to make them feel their endeavors on the battlefield were truly and sincerely appreciated. This was tffe first military display of any note in this city since the return of brave McLaughlin’s Massachusetts brigade. Tl»c Catholic Clergy T » have a very effective way of expressing tbeir sentiments, sometimes. Some years since one o(These, located in one of the cities of the interior of this State, was particularly noted for his plainness of speech. He was a good man, very earnest in bis religion, kind and affectionate to those of his parishioners who were deserving of his kindness, but very severe upon those who give no heed to his counsels. Agaiust these he was particularly demonstrative, and has been known to knock them down for their obstinacy. He had'oc casion once to speak from his pulpit of the death of the sou of one of his parishoncr»,. who a day or two before had been shot in a fight at an election. Tins son was a noted ljully and fighter, a'large, powerful naan, the terror of the whole city, when influenced with liquor. Father called the atten tion of the congregation to the terrible death this eon had suffered, and then asked who is responsible for this ? Who, but his parents ? When Mike was a his parents took upon themselves the work of the Almighty. They said Mike should be a large, powerful man—he was a broth of a boy, am} he should be a powerful man. And what did they do, but fed him on raw eggs. Oh! Mike must have a raw egg—he must —every morning before he took his breakfast. This, they said, would make him grow strong. He did grow strong. Whether it was the raw eggs that did it, or not, I don't know; but where is Mike now ? Where, I say, (he shrieked)— where is Mike now? He’s gone to the devil —that’s where he is.”* The effect was elec trical. No more Irish babies have been fed on raw eegs ia that congregation since. The thirteenth annual meeting of the Gen eral Association of Missouri Baptists was held in Boonville on the 19th and 21st nit. About fifty members were present and agreed to de cline taking the oath required of rainistijrs and teachers by the new constitution. Thg reasons for this action are set forth in a lengthy document. Some of these reasons are, in brief: Ist. That the oath is in conflict with the Constitution of the United States, as interfering with the freedom ol worship ing God, as ex post facto in its operations, and as ranking every minister who refuses to take it become a witness against himself. 2d. The oath is unjust and unequal in its opera tions. 3d. It proposes to punish ministers for what is really no crime against any hu man law. 4th. To take the oath is to ac knowledge an authority in the State that does not belong to it, and that human au thority is above Divine. THE WAR IN SOUTH AMERICA. The Brasilian Blockade ru Blockaded— Disbandment of Qen. tJrqulxtt’e Army— English and French Accounts of the Military Situation, etc. [Translated for the N. V. Herald from the Paris Opin ion Rationale of the 2Mh of August, 1865.] The war on the Plate river has brought up a point of maritime law, which, we believe, has never before presented itself. The Bra zilian squadron ordered to blockade Paraguay is, in turn, blockaded hv the batteries which the Paraguayans haw mounted on the banks of the Parana. Will the neutral Powers con sider a blockade of this irregular nature en titled to respect? We would like to have the opinion on this subject of those news papers that have denied the efficacy of the blockade of the Confederate States during the past four years. ’ The Moniteur, Patrie tutd Journal des De hats, strive to make the complete dispersion of General Urquiza’s army appear as an im portant incident. This defection was accom panied by cries of “ Mueran /os unitarios ,” (the party under Mitre;) mueran los rnacacos (the name given to the Brazilians in the countries near the Plate and Vivan los Para euayos. The triple alliance is now dissolved, and the hatred existing against Brazil is stronger than ever throughout ail the Argen- tine provinces. ~ - .. T 1 e English press, which si: c: the com meme.uent of the war has constantly dew monstrated its sympathy for the pro-slavery empire of Brazil, is candid enough to admit that the cause of the allies is by no means encouraging* The latest news published by the London Globe states that the Brazilians had met With a serious reverse. There can be no doubt but that Urquiza has joined .Lopez with about eight thousand men, and that the Blaneo party is about to get up an other revolution in Montevideo. According to the Daily News a crisis is Imminent. The Paraguayans have occupied the Brazilian city of Truguay, in the pro vince of Rio Grande, when at the same time a body of twenty-five thousand men are in possession of Laßestaunfclon. On the other hand, the Brazilian squadron had prepared on the 29th of Jane to descend tne river »i SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1865. far as Goya, as the Paraguayans had mount- | ed batteries below the Bella Vista in order to ! cut off their retreat. A Brazilian correspon dent writes: “Commodere Barros find his officers are very suspicious of Uraguay. We are on half rations,, and are short of ammu nition and fuel.” News from tlie Gulf. Arrival of Beauregard at Vera Cruz— General Steele on Maximilian. New O bleak s, Sept. 4, 1865. The steamers George Cromwell aud United States, from New York, have arrived. The Texas correspondent of the New Or leans Times, under data of Brownsville, Au gust 26, says: The Matamorar. Monitor of the preceding week announces the arrival of Gen. Beaure guard at Vera Cruz: The liberals on the border are quiet, but recruiting a large force for future action. A force of imperialists with a wagon train on the route from Monterey to Matomoras was met by liberal scouts, attacked and driven back to Monterey. A colonel ot the rebel army was killed. Reinforcements from Mat arnoras were met by Cortinas’ guerrillas and driven back. The troops mustered out under the late order of General Sheridan have nearly all gone home; but a large force* still remains here as guards for the interior of Texas. A grand ball was given on the night of the 24th ult., in honor of Maximilian's Minister, which was attended by General Steele and other United States officers, who had dined with him on a previous occasion. QengrM Steele toasted the Emperor. THI RISUITB OF MIBCIGMAHQH. An Enraged Husband and Father Stab. His Wife and Daughter.—Practice more Disagreeable than Precept. [From the Rochester Colon, Sept. 6.] We have just heard the particulars of an affair at Genesee, attended with serious con sequences and the shedding of blood. The occurrence took place on Saturday evening. John Leonard, an industrious laboring mau, who bad bccq engaged all da)’ in carrying the hod in the village, went to his residence at the south cud of Main street, and found that his daughter, a girl of seventeen, was absent visiting at the house of a negro named Henry Crawford. He was much incensed, and seizing a bayonet which his son, a sol dier in Sherman's army, had brought home, he rushed out of the house, threatening to take the life of his daughter. His wife, who is blind, fearing the consequences of the an ger of her husband, followed him to the streot, lead by a child, and screamed for help.— Leonard went directly to Crawford's house, and attacked his daughter with the bayonet. The blind wife comiug in, sought to save her daughter, when Leouard turned, upon her, inflicting blows upon her head and stabbing her iu the stomach. The alarm called forth a crowd of citizens, including a cbn stablc. They sought to arrest Leonard, but he being a strong man, they had very great difficulty. He knocked the officer down, and laid everything flat right and left. At length he was overcome and taken to jail. Dr. Chase was called and attended the wife and daughter. The former had wounds on the head and chest; the latter had three stabs in her arms, but none of the wounds are re garded as dangerous. On Monday mornir g Leonard was taken before a magistrate aid held to bail to answer if indicted. Owing o tbo peculiarly aggravating circumstanct 8 attending this case, much sympathy was felt for Leouard, and he obtained the required bail without difficulty. Leonard and his son were active wide-awakes in 1850, wore capes and beat the drums, .but they have since repented of that folly, aud do not re gard the negro with more favor than the white man. They do not favor amalgama tion, and the elder has’ entered his protest in a formal manner against the social inter course of his family with the blacks of the village. There was another affray on Satur day evening at Genesspe, in which a white boy of thirteen and a coored boy of the same age were tugaged. The negro choked the white and the latter retorted ny blows with a club. This occurred to a smali coun try village, where politicians of the aboli tion school have given the colored people undue prominence. A New Road Across tlic Continent. The following letter from Dr. Macgowan, who has been attached by Government to the Commission charged with conveing the Indian tribes in our Western Territo ries, will be read with much interest: Fort Scott, Arkansas Aug. 29, 1865. ll hi. Coventry H. 1 Voddell, Esq., Secretary American Geoyrajihical and Statistical So- ciety. "Sir •* A discovery, lately made by Mr. But terfield, agent of the Overland' Dispatch Company, possesses not only geographical interest,' by making us better acquainted with the interior of this continent, but is of great value in a merchantile point of view. The discovery makes known a route across the plains which reduces the distance to Denver 100 or 150 miles, and which has the advantage of avoiding the terrible alkali springs of the Platte route, via Fort Kearney,, which are so fatal to cattle, occasioning the death in some seasons of thousands. This new channel has the further advan tage of enjoying a fortnight’s earlier verdure than that of the Platte river. This newly discovered route to the Rocky Mountains lies up the Valley of the Knw, or Kansas, to the fork of the Smoky Hill river, and thence up that valley to the centre of the continent at Denver. It presents a direct route from New York through St. Louis to the great mineral regions ot the West. An officer ot the Uni ted Stales Army was detailed to accompany Mr. Butterfield s expedition, to make topo graphical observations, whose report will soon be published by the General Govern ment. Meanwhile, arrangements are mak ing for the transportation of passengers and freight aeioss the Plains by this route, which In six weeks will be completed; the company having abandoned the old channel of commu nication between the East and Wr-t. Lawrence, the present terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad, will be the new point of departure. It is believed that this will give nn increased impetus tathe vast traffic which is now carried on between a few points 6n the Missouri River and the ter ritories ot Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, while it will afford increrwed facilities to the stream of emigra tion which is flowing into and across the Plains. Correct statistical information re garding the overland traffic is not easily at tainable, but data for a calculation are fur nished by the business of the Overland Dis patch Company, which transports about one tenth of the freight sent across the Plains This company, by the close of the season, will have sent 25,000 tons, employing nearly 2,000 wagons and 80,000 oxen. A siugle mer chant at Salt. Lake City pays this season SI%OOO for freight. These facts demonstrate theimportanee of expediting the work of the Pacific Railroad Company. Respectfully, D. 3. McGowan. The Population of Mexico.— The popular tiou of Mexico was over five millions by tie oensns of 1703. It had only increased to 8,00*0,000 in 1858.
