TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1867. trogre of OjiiuUn lu llie South. The more Intellrpt-nt men in the Sontb, who have hitherto sustained the Presidential policy against that of Congress, are beginning to learn that the executive, whatever may be his intentions, Is la practice an obstacle In the way of the restoration of the proper relations between the South and the National Government. The following from the editor of the Charleston News on the Attorney General's exposition of the reconstruction law Is Interesting, as showing the change of opinion In reference to accepting the terms that are tendered by Congress Will the Republican party who passed this act, and who have resolutely supported the action of the military commanders, desert General Sickles iu such a case 1 Will not the issue thus made become a party Issue, and who Is to pay the costs of the controversy but our unfortunate selves? This is not the first time that we have been made to pay for our confidence in the lie undertook to restore us to the Union, if we would perform certain conditions. We fulfilled them have we been restored What has he succeeded in doing that he has undertaken.to do 1 Upon every occasion, from the convention between Sherman and Johnston to the reconstruction act, he has finally yielded, and we alone have suifered from the resistance.

We have too much at stake now to repeat our The numerous conversions of leading Southern men to sound national views of reconstruction are not pleasing to Northern or Southern politicians who are anxious to keep up a turmoil for a series of years, in the hope of restoring the Conservative party to power. The people of the South are evidently fast coming to their senses. This is instanced by a recent letter of Hon. Wm, L. Goggin, a prominent politician of Georgia, who is prepared to adopt his action to the new condition of affairs.

He says "A conquered people can't expect to have a choice of measures or the selection of men, for public positions, exactly upon their own terms and in their own way. We must learn to realize our true condition. In the first place we must remember that slavery having ceased, we have, in consequence, a new element of freedom in our midst, which we must respect for its strength, whatever may he our opinion of the materials of which it is composed. It is at l-ast an element of political power, which, as well by its own mere foice, as by the support it derives from those who brought it irfto being, ha. the capacity of such expansion as to mske it our duty to handle it with care, if we would apply it with advantage for the good of community.

But before we can do this successfully, we must rtalize. also the fact that slavery can never be restored, aud that Cotton as Kius is forever dethroned. He may still, nowever, be a resjtected and even honored member of the family circle. We should have no repinings at such a loss. Let it go." Fresh evidences are daily accumulating that the Union party, in most of the Southern States, is aradually gaining ground and is commanding the respect, if not the support, of a large portion of the people who have hitherto denounced it.

The fact that in almost, if not quite all the Southern States, regular conventions have been held, is certainly a matter of encouragement. They have completed organizations, in readiness for the first opportunity, to try their strength at the first elections. But a few days since, Georgia held a convention which adopted a series of dignified and loyal resolutionssustaining the action of Congress, pledging theirsup-port to educatioti, recognizing and upholding the rights of all citizens and endorsing the Union Republican party of the North. Their endorsement of General Pope shows their faith in the plan of reconstruction, to which they are subjected, which out-weighs all the complaints of their opponents who would have their treason buried In the grave of oblivion, and if possible, be restored to their former politic! position. But the degree has gone forth and the opponent of the loyal plan of reconstruction, whether North or South, are doomed, to have the Union restored upon the basis of human freedom and ii'im-in nuhts.

Judge Chase and Gen. Grant had interviews with the President on Friday. The President has been invited to Long Branch, and says he may go there before the summer Is over. Senor Romero, the Mexican Minister, is about to leave for Mexico, not to return under tbe present administration there, unless President Juarez should be re elected and desires his reappointment. The codifying commission think it will take them five years, instead of three, to go through the United States laws.

Many of the laws are so imperfectly constructed that they must be en-tirlry re-wrlten to make sense of them. The Cherokee neutral lands, which have been surveyed are to be appraised and those not occupied by actual settlers on the 11th of August last, will be sold In a body for cash, If an eligible offer Is made by a responsible party to the Secretary of the interior before October first. If not sold in a body, bids will be received for separate tracts. The Chronicle states what is believed to be trne when it says "that the friends of the administration are offering wagers very freely that Secretary Stanton will be forced to resign before the first of September, as they claim that the differences of opinion between him and the President will soon result in an open rupture, precipitated by the tatter's policy regarding the Southern Military Commanders." There were issued from the Treasury Department of the currency bureau, last week, $186,500 in fractional currency. The National Bank currency issued during the week amounted to and the total amount to date is $303,50.1,478.

From this is to be de-dected the amount returned, including worn out notes, amounting to $4,547,562, leaving in actual circulation at this date $298,955,914. The amount of fractional currency redeemed and destroyed during the week was $395,300. An Important question of conflict of jurisdiction between the military ami civil officials of the government in the Southern States was laid before the Cabinet on Friday. It appears that the United States Marshal of North Carolina undertook to enforce an execution issued by the United States Circuit Court lately sitting in that State, but was prohibited from doing so by the military commander at Wilmington, who declared the execution to be in violation of a paragraph of one of Gen. Sickles' orders.

The Marshal's process being resisted ti nrmis, the case was referred to the Attorney General, and in his absence was laid before the President and his Cabinet. The civil authorities claim that Chief Justice Chase's recent opinion, delivered in North Carolina, sustains them fully, and that a military order cannot interfere with a process issuing from a United States Court. The matter will be held in abeyance until Attorney-General Stan-berry returns and gives his opinion upon it. Europe. Dispatches received on Saturday from Athensbringtheintelliger.ee that the Greek government has announced its determination of declaring war against the Sublime Porte on the 1st of September, should the hostilities against the Christians in the Island of Candia not be ended by that time.

Great military preparations are being made for such an emergency. The Dunderberg arrived at Cherbourg on Saturday, fourteen days and seven hours after having sailed from New York. The iron-clad encountered heavy weather and high season the voyage, but behaved nobly, and proved herself an excellent seaboift. The Emperor Napoleon will be accompanied by M. Moustier, his minister of foreign affairs, on his visit to the Emperor of Austria, and will remain three days In the Austrian capital.

The foreign members of the Imperial Commission of the exposition kav-iug drawn up an address for presentation to the Emperor Napoleon, that monarch replied thereto, saying "The hopes for the peace and progress of the whole world spring from such exhibitions." William R. Roberts of Fenian notoriety, Is reported to be In Naptes, where, It Is averred, he Is Intriguing with the radical democrats and men of the party of action in Southern Italy. Arrangements are being make, it Is said, for an Interview between the Emperor Napoleon and King William of Prussia to take place after the visit of the former to Tienna. The election of Louis Kossuth to the Hungarian Diet causes much alarm among tho members of the Conservative party of Hnngary, who fear that his extreme views may lead to a disturbance of the existing political agreement with the Emperor of Austria.

Local and State Item. Death of Ltman A. McCi.nRK.--We regret to announce the death of Lyman Arnold McClure, which occurred at the residence of his father in this village at 1 1-2 o'clock yesterdsy afternoon, at the age of 23 years. He was tbe son of David G. and Emiline S.

McClure, born in Middletown, Vermont, March 7, 1844. He was In his earlier years for some time a clerk, but at the age of 18 enlisted in Company of the 12th Regt.

He returned to Rutland with the hope of recovering health, and some weeks since in company with his father went West, with the hope that a more favorable climate might afford him relief, but that fa'al malady, Consumption, had taken too deep a hold for him to receive any benefit from the change, and he returned home that his last hours might be amid kindred and friends.

He gradually sunk to a peaceful death, receiving the kindly ministrations of a mother's care, and the faithful attentions of his immediate family. He was a quiet, unobtrusive young man, who possessed a large circle of friends, and was faithful, efficient and popular with all with whom he was connected in the relations of business life.

MiDDLiTOwN, The Selecmen of the town of Middletown having had their attention called to the cheese manufactory in that town, in reference to the waste that is carried off as afflicting the health of the inhabitants, called upon Dr. Middleton Goldsmith to investigate the subject and make a report. On Saturday last Dr. Goldsmith visited the factory and made the following report which we are requested to publish the Selectmen of the Town of Middletown Gentlemen In accordance with your request I have made a careful examination of the Cheese Factory and its belongings, situated in the village of Middletown, and I find the following facts Eirtt.

The refuse of the factory, consisting chiefly of whey, is carried for the most part through a wooden trough, made in sections ami moveable, and deposited in the wooden tanks about twenty yards distant. From the tanks the whey is distributed along the central portion of a long building and emp tied Into troughs on either side of a cen. tral passage and standing in pens containing hogs. The floors of these pens incline from the centre to the outside of this long hog bouse. These floors are so loose that the liquid parts of the re.

fuse whey and of tbe excrements, of the hogs can drip through the floor upon the ground beneath the building. The ground upon which the building stands Inclines slightly from the East to the West, while the building stands nearly North and South. That portion of the excrements of the hogs kept on the north side of house and which does not drip through the floor runs out over the ends of the floor planks and thence under tbe building from the East to the West side. On the West side of this building the garbage collected underneath flows through irregular, narrow and sluggish streams into a marshy pond hole a few feet from the building, and somewhat between it and the cheese house. The garbage under the house is semi-fluid, like a great sea of porridge.

From the factory and from the joints of the wooden pipe a smaller amount of whey is washed, that from the house through holes la the floor on to tie ground beneath the building, and that from the pipes falls upon the ground beneath and flows thence into the pond hole mentioned above. There is no way provided for the removal of any part of the filth. It all remains on the premises, In part soaking into the ground under the factory, in large quantity, collected and stagnant under the bog house, and in still larger quantity into the pond hole between the hog house and the cheese room. The air In the factory and in all the adjoining ground is simply Intolerable. So intolerable that it is a wonder to me that any operative can be had to work and live in such an atmosphere.

The stench of this factory can be smelt at a great distance in certain states of the atmosphere, and must at all times be extremely oppressive in all the neighboring buildings. What amount of sickness has been produced in those buildings by this tainted atmosphere I did not enquire. The diseases which it must necessarily induce express themselves in those suffering from them In a general feeling of lassitude, loss of appetite, in di'arrhosis in nl dysent. rlt s. That these di.iea.i: will prevail, if they have not already prevailed, you may rest assured.

There can, therefore, be but one opinion In regard to tbe matter, viz. that the decomposing offal of this cheese factory Is a nuisance so intolerable to the comfort of the inhabitants of your village and such a standing nuisance to Its health that it should be abated, and that without delay. In order to obviate tbe evils of this factory one thing Is Indispensible, That is, that no refuse of the factory, no excrements of the hog should bo allowed to fall upon the ground, or to accumu late in any other receptacle for 21 hours. As to the means, I will mention tht several means first for removal 1. The hogs may be removed to soma safe locality and the whey carried to them.

This is the best. 2. The pens may be so constructed that no whey or excrements can drop through the floors. The excrements and surplus whey may be made to flow through pipes. The pens may be washed twice a day in warm weather, and all the garbage thus collected be carried off Into a running stream of water having a sufficient body of water to largely dilute these matters and sweep tben rapidly to a distance.

3d. The hogs may be moved to a safe distance and the whey conveyed to then through leaden pipes. As to purifying the grounds of Its present filth. The hog house will have to be jacked np so that all the filth be ncath can be removed. The ground under should then be sprinkled with lime and the excavation filled with good loam.

The pond should be drained and filled or else the ditch now running near should be opened so that a current of clean water can pass continually through it. The question of these sev- eral methods must be determined by the question of cost. Yours respectfully, M. Goldsmith, Williams College. Commencement -at Williams College was on Wednesday last.

Among the graduates were H. Hickok, Bon of Dr. W. C. Hichok ofjBur- llngton Charles Dennlson, of Eoyalton, Henry Augustus Harmon, of Bennington; John Ephraim Myer, of Port Henry, and Francis Lynde Stetson, of Platts-burg.

Mr. Dennison's oration was on "Future Poetry In America." Mrs: Scrbatt's Cash. Ex-Judge Pierrepont on Saturday, In his argument to the jury in the Snrratt ease, made an important statement, which he verified by producing the original record relative to the execution of Mrs. Surratt. It has been charged It will be remembered, that the order for Mrs.

SurraH's execution was handed to the President by a member of tho Cabinet, and that it was sign- ed withont consultation. The following verbatim extract from Judge Plerrepont'S speech tells the story. He said "I have not come here for the purpose of proving that Mrs. Surratt was guilty, or that she was innocent and I do not understand why that subject was lugged into this case in the mode it has been. Nor do I understand why the counsel denounced the Military Commission who tried her, and thus Indirectly censured, in the severest manner, the President at the United States.

The counsel certainly knew, when they were talking about tribunal, and when they were thus denouncing it, that President Johnson ordered with his own hand that Commission, signed the warrant that directed the execution that President Johnson, when that record was brought before him, laid It before his Cabinet, and that every member voted upon It, and that they voted to confirm the sentence, and that the President, with his own hand, wrote his confirmation of it and with his own hand signed the warrant. I hold In my hand the original record, and no other man, it appears from that pper ordered it no other one touched this paper and when it was suggested by some of the members of the Commission that In consequence of the age and the sex of Mrs. Surratt it might possibly be right to change her senteace to imprisonment for life, he signed the warrant for her death with the paper risht before his vea unrl thorn la (handing the paper to Mr. Merrick)! iuv inenu can reaa it ior nimseir.
