TIio IlohcnzoJIcrn. Intrigue.
A letter from a well known American in
Berlin, on intimate terms with tho Govorn
montCC tho North German Confederation.
furnishes information that the proposition
to place i'rinco iiononzoiieren on tho
throne of Spain was purposely concealed
by that Prince from King "William for
homo time.
When tho monarch was consulted, the
project received prompt and unqualified
disapprobation, the Kin arcuica that
considering tho peculiar temperament of
tho bpanish people, such a proceeding
would prouauiy oo a second ALazimillian
affair, reoulting in the loss of 'ho Prince's
head.
Tho writer further says the King held
these views up to the time the French
Government made the peremptory demand
tnrougb iienedetti lor an explanation,
Nothing but the tono and manner in which
it was made, and'aiterwards followed up by
rum lor guarantees, prevented farther ref
erence to the subject by the King.
Affairs in TIcxIco.
Dispatches to tho State Department from
Minister Nelson represent affairs in Mexico
as in rather a quiet condition, with the
country generally on tho road to improve
ment. . There have been some political
troubles recently in two of tho States, but
they have been quieted.
The Georgia, muddle.
Attorney General Akorman has con
sented to deliver an address before the
A, Southern .Republican Association of this
city, on the situation of American politics.
Considerable interest is attached to it
among the Republicans, as it is believed it
wall allude to the last work of reconstruc
tion, in the shape of the status of Georgia,
and ho will take ground publicly, as ho has
all along privately, that there should be an
election in that State this falL
Mr. Akcrman has addressed a letter to
certain Republican Georgia members of
tho Legislature and others who havo re
quested his views on tho subject of an elec
tion in that Stato. Ho declined to give a
construction of tho act of Congress relating
to Georgia, but on tho assumed ground
that the question is for the decision of the
Legislature, he is in favor of an election
and against the extension of the torms of
such officers. Ho holds that Uie Constitu
tion of tho State has been operative since
July, !8G8, and that tho members having
sworn to support it aro bonnd by it ; that
if tho government has been provision,
fetill the constitution has been practically
in force as the fundamental Stato law, and
has not been set aside by tho paramount
authority of the United States and there
fore is valid ; that the constitution fixes
tho terms of Representatives in this
Legislature at two years, and the present
mombors have no right to serve alter the
expiration of that term ; that the under
standing between them and the people at
the time of their election was tint they
should serve so long and no longer,
and the people will be ovor-reached
by an extension of the term. And
in a party view he thinks tho Republican
party will bo more hurt by preventing than
by holding the election, but if it was other
wise we could not sacrifice principle to
success. Ho advisos every precaution
against unfairness, and should tho election
be unfair he would have it set aside. Tho
Georgia Democrats are stopped from com
plaining, if tho terms should bo extended,
for in 18G8 they imposed on the people a
legislative majority of men not unlawfully
chosen. But the "Republicans should dis
regard bad examples and do right
Some of the papors of Georgia aro com
forting themselves and their supporters
with the assertion that the President is
against an election this fall in that State,
but it can bo affirmed in the most poaitivo
terms that this is not his view. Tho matter
was talked over when ho was hero last Fri
day, and he expiessed a decided opinion
that the law and public policy alike require
an election in November for members of
the Legislature as well us mombors of Con
gress. In this opinion ho is sustained by
most, if not all, tho members of his Cabi
net. Neither the Presidont nor the At
torney General ha3 given tho least encour
agement to those who attomptcd to enlist
them on the side of the party intriguing to
defeat an election, and at least a majority
of the Cabinet regard tho effort to ignore
this election as a gross outrage. In fact,
it cannot bo ascertained on careful inquiry
that any momber dissents from the viows
expressed by the President. It is not im
probable that ho may give direct expres
sion to his opinion whon he retnrns from
St. Louis, and in any event it is believed
tho question at issue must come before tho
Attornoy General.
Kcdiiciit;? tin: Army.
Tho work of reducing tho number of
army officers in accordance with tho pro
visions of the army act is well begun. Tho
names of some long absent from their
commands hae been dropped from tho
rolls. A good many havo already resigned
oa ono year's pay, and more have indicated
a purpose to do so. Assignments of su
pernumeraries to vacancies and duty aro
being made. The retired list is to bo in
creased by ono hundred and twenty, and
nliont that numler havo applied to bo re
tired. Those not retiring by right of long
service aro to bo examined, and retirement
will probably bo refused to soino of those
who have made application. Steps havo
been taken to cet lists of those whom De
partment Commanders think ought to bo
mustered out for incompetency. Theso
aro to go beforo a loard, which will not
bo appointed for some weeks. Iho re.
quired reduction in rank and file will bo
made in due soason, mostly by tho expira
tion of tho term of service of enlisted
men and non-commissioned officers. Tho
Commissioner of tho General Land Offico
has written an opinion upon that clause of
tho Army lull which allows all persons
who served honorablv for threo months in
tho army or navy during the late war to
enter, tree, 100 acres ot land now noui
along tho line of land granted to railroads,

sued by tho applicant is the samo as under
the existing Homestead law, except that a
special form of alhJavit, setting forth tho
military "service, is required, The re-
ouirement of law regarding settlement and
cultivation are the samo in this class of
entries as in all others. Proper forms to
get a new application aro to bo forwarded
at once to Registors and Receivers.
Continental "tlonuj.
Treasurer Spinner is in almost daily re
ceipt of quantities of old Continental
bank notes, or shinplasters, from various
parts of tho country, with letters request
ing him to remit United States notes in
exchange. A letter was yesterday received
from Now York inclosing sixty Continental
notes of tho issue of September 2G, 1778,
and inquiring whether any law provides
for the redemption of tho same. Gen.

Franco-American Views.
The Courrier des Etats Unis, ever a
warm supporter of Napoleon, to-day
speaks of him as declining and too feeble
to hold tho sword. ."We do not know
anybody, where thero is the great question
of the salvation of the honor or grandeur
of Franco. Lofthe power be trusted to
whomsoever shall take it and in whatever
form it may bo, bo it monarchy or repub
lics ; but let them give us victory."
The Next Uattlc.
Iho samo paper has intelligence indicat
ing that McMahon's loss in the recent bat
tles was 4,000, but estimates the French
forco in Lorraine at 350,000, without
counting tho Garde Mobile. It is believed
hare that the French army will bring 250,
000 and tho Prussians 325,009 men into
the next battlo.
'file Nathan Ulurdcr.
The evidence against Wm. Kelly, the
housekeeper's son, in the Nathan inquest
to-day, failed to furnish ground for sus-
picion of his guilt. He admitted he en-
listed in Lawence, under an assumed f
name, in 18t4, and sinco his discharge
from the army, in 18G5, had been with
out any regular employment. In contra
diction of previous testimony, it was I
stated that he had a conversation with I
two men, on Madison Square, the even- J
inn before the murder. Other testimony !
offered to prove that the 003, with
which the murder had been committed,
had been seen about the Nathan premises
over a year ago and since.
Threo colored men were arrested on sm-
picion of having in their possession tho
lato Mr. Nathan's watch. To-day they
were discharged, but another man is now
held in custody on suspicion of having dis
posed of the missing jewelry of Nathan
on the day after the murder occurred.
Western Freights.
No immediate advance in railroad
freights and passenger tariff is expected
in consequence of tho cessation of hostili
ties between the rival line3 Westward. A

practice reduces the Boston faro from $5

From tho Memphis Appeal, Aug. 10.
M. Charles Stone, Secretary of the
Chickasaw Jpckey Club, ha3 placed us
under obligations for the f liotviuir,
touching his arrangements f -r the fall
meeting. lie says the staki.-, which
closed on the 1st of the month, have all
filled satisfactorily, giving promise of
first- rate meeting in October. The post
stake has seven subscribers : Cad wall a-
der, Craig & Sod, Jennings", Lewis,
Smith, Swigcrt and Young. This is the
inaugural race of the mcetin"; two mile
heats, sub. $50, p. p., the second to save
Ms stake, with $000 added by the club.
On tho same day wc have the Bradley
stake tor two year olds, dash of one
mile; sub. $15, .p. p., the club adding
juu. in mis stake there are twenty-live
nominations, embracing all the best and
most fashionably bred two year olds in
iventucsy and Tennessee. The third
race, same day, 13 the Gayoso stake, mile
neais, ior turee years old, $25 sub., p. p.
with $400 added. In this there are eigl
teen nominations, enibra'cimr such well
known flyers as Enquirer, Regent, Jack
Jicuonaiu, lung Bejazet, Same FarrelL
Vidette. Bob Shelton ffull brother to
Uelmbold,) Annette and Jim Hill's gray
filly, by Brown Dick. This promises to
00 a great race.
In tho Green stake, mile heats for three
year olds that did not show in public
prior to the closing ot the stake, there arc
ntteen nominations. These, of course,
are' all dark ones, but the list embraces
names that belong to well-known running
lammus, uuu lueru ia icmuu w UClievC
hat this will be a first-rate race. In the
George Elliott (sequel) stake, dash of one
mile for two year olds, to be run on Fri
day, there is a penalty of seven pounds
extra weight imposed on the winner of
the Bradley stake. To thi3 stake also
there aro twenty- five subscribers. It will
be a capital race.
On Friday will also be run the Bluff
City Stake, two mile heats for three vear
olds, $50 sub., p. p., with $1,000 added,
to which there are twenty-six subscribers.
This is a very valuable stake, and prom
ises to bo the great race of tho week.
The value to tho winner will be $2,250.
This stake closed in November last, and
wc nave heretofore published a list of the
nominations. Of the entries that have
made a public record, Gen. Baford's En
quirer, by Leamington, dam Lida, by
Lexington, is perhaps held in the highest
repute; and he will probably be the favor
ite, lie is a game, stout colt, and has
shown his ability to 'stay tho distance.
He won tho Sequel two year old stake
over the Chickasaw Course, last fall, beat
ing a fine field, including the famous
Hamburg. .His performances this year,
in his three year old form, in the East,
stamp him a first-clas3 race horse.
Besides the stakes enumerated above.
there is the usual variety of races, for
Jockey Club purses, at various distances
in ncats and dashes, from one to three
miles. Taken altogether, the programme
is a very excellent one, and we shall be
greatly surprised if the five days' meeting,
commencing on Thursday, October 25,
does not prove tho most interesting ever
witnessed m Memphis.
As soon as sufficient time ha3 been al
lowed for letters that may have been mis
sent to reach their proper destinations,
the Secretary will issue hi3 programme
for the fall meeting of 1870, containing a
full list of all the entries fo the various
stakes, as well as the names of the sub
scribers to the DcSoto (Produce) stake
1873, to which, we learn, there are thirty
two subscribers. The programme will be
published in the courso of the next fifteen
days.
TIIIUD I'AItTV.
Many strange things happen in thi3 life
which cannot be accounted for on any
correct principle of icasoning. In the
political world nothing seems more strange
to us than the attempt to organize a third
party in Tennessee.
It passcth our understanding why it is
that some of our contemporaries arc in
favor of the organization of aparty whose
ultimate aim is the same of the great
national Democratic party the overthrow
of the Radical party and the restoration
of republican principles yet whose very
organization tends to defeat every cher
ished hope of its very authors. Are these
third party men mad? While bound in
chains they looked with hopeful hearts to
the ultimate success of the Democratic
party of the Northern States. They looked
and longed for the time when they could
lock shields with those who were so nobly
strangling for noble principles.
When Mr. Johnson stood as the great
breakwater between them and the fury of
their foes, their praises were long and
loud, and they shouted their commen
dations of Democracy which so heroi
cally defended their chieftain and their
interests.
Mr. Johnson relumed to his home and
met base ingratitude from those he had
befriended most, although, not a jot had
he changed since they cried " Great is
our chieftain at 'Washington."
Bursting the chains that bound us and
again stepping forth in the capacity of
freemen, as wc have a common cause
with our friends who had long been bat
tling for the success of our cherished
principles, was it not our duty to ally
ourselves with them, and in the most
available manner strike for victory T Was
this done ? A third party struck hands
with Radicals to defeat their benefactor,
because he was a Democrat, although
holding no principlo that this party docs
not defend. What next ? This party is
now organizing for to wage battle against
tho Democracy of Tennessee: And
wherefore? Do they differ on any
principle of public policy f Not at all.
There is perfect accord on every principle.
Wliy then the necessity of a Third Party,
a counterpart of Democracy in everything
save the namcf Being ior the same
thing and striving for the samo end, why
strive m such a manner as to bring weak
ncss to our common cause?
But wc arc told that the Democracy of
to-day is the Democracy of 1SC0. How
can this be unless the Third Party be
also, for this party and Democracy are
one in every principle of puolic policy 1
In the name ot reason men what means
this Third Party ?tIt means demagoguery.
For a man to be in full sympathy with
every principle advocated by the present
Democracy, and then charge that this De
mocracy is the Democracy of 1860, for
which he has no sympathy, is a very low
order ot uemagoguery.
The Democratic party of to-day is a
living party, based on living principles.
and is fighting living issues, and is the
only party that can contend successfully
against Radicalism, and consequently is
the only hope of Democrats or Third Party
men.
Let the Third Party men remember
that every blow they strike the Democ
racy of Tennessee detracts from tho po
tency of that creat arm by whose ncrcu-
lean power wc expect the mighty dragon
to be prostrated which has so long cursea
the people. Let them remember that a
Third Party organization will take no
strength from our common foe, but will
weaken and endanger me success 01 our
common cause. Let them remember that
we cannot conquer through local parties,
and let them cease to war on the only
party through which we can conquer.
Let us iorget empty names, and re
member the party that remembered ua
while we were unable to help ourselves.
and stand firm to it while it is striving
for onr good aud tho triumph of true re
publican principles. National Union.
