VIEWS OF GOVERNOR KAIGHT, OF CALIFORNIA ADVICES FROM GREECE-A VOLCANO LN 1JICA RAUGUA-'FREEDMEN'S BUREAU ORDERS, ETC, WASHINGTON, January 3.-Governor Haight; of California, in his inaugural, Bays the pro? priety of admitting the blacks to suffrage be? longs to each State to determino for itself. Had Congress been able to control this sub? ject, both negro and Chinese suffrage would probably have been forced upon the people of California against the will of the majority. Ignorant of the effects of snob, legislation, ' they would have forced upon ns un intolerable evil. So far as California is concerned the people of this State have expressed their op? position both to negro and Chinese suffrage. Tho First National Bank of the Bay City, Michigan, has failed badly. General Meade left here this morning for At? lanta, to assume command of the Third Mili? tary District. The Greek Legation have account? of a battle on the 25th and 26th, near a village cn Lake Cootie. The Turks were defeated, with a severe loss. The reception of Ku.j George and Queen Olga at Athens was enthusiastic beyond de? scription. The cry of "Down with the barba? rous Turks !" was almost universal. The Government of St. Domingo has issued a decree regarding their tariff on goods im? ported directly from Europe or the United States, rr akmg it 15 per cent, less than when coming through the West India Islands, proof is required that any of the goods have not touched at any of the islands, or should a ves? sel by any circumstances touch at any island a certificate from the Republican agent there, that she made no commercial operations, will be required. This decree went into effect on the 1st of November last. Minister Dickerson to Nicaragua transmits and elaborate account of the recent volcanic eruption there, which continued for sixteen days, making for itself a cone 200 feet high, with a crater in the top two hundred feet in diameter. The sand covered the country from the volcano to the Pacific Ocean, a distance of fifty miles. As seen at night, the vein of the crater is white, half-way down, the height of ?the flame and flying cinders five hundred feet. General Howard has not issued an order dismissing the officers of the Freedmen's Bu? reau for engaging in politics, but he has an established policy of dealing with each case when it comes np. Thus far, in several cases brought to his notice, ho has established the rule that the acceptance of a nomination for an office must bo considered incompatible with the duties required of the officers of the Burean, such as arentB, or officers have been relieved. Ti i latent case of this kind was that of Pillsbur . ? '. Sooth Carolina, a civilian agent of the Bureau, who was elected to the conven? tion and notified I hat he could not hold both positions. Governor Chamberlain, of Maine, has been inaugurated. He favors the fair and square payment of-the national debt, but not in one day, or in a genera'.ion. Brown & Gelespie, wholesale merchants of Hamilton, Canada West, have failed. The revenue receipts to-day amount to $1,489,000. There was a full Cabinet meeting to-day. The Virg; nia Convention. RICHMOND, January 3.-In the convention a resolution was oner 3d urging the continuance of the Freedmen's Bureau in th? State, and deprecating; its wi ;hdrawul as a calamity, and requesting General Howard to continue it ?r>i der such ageute as may best snit the purpose. After a loDg deba s, it was adopted-ayes 52; nays IL Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, addressed a meeting in the A'.rican Church at night, and advised the convention to confer suffrage on all males over twenty-one, and secure it to them forever. , , . Military Orders In Louisiana-The Lou? isiana Convention, Etc., Etc. NEW ORLEANS, January 3_The foflowing are extracts from General Hancock's orders dated' January 2,'1868 : Hift.F.Tnallency B. F. Flanders,./J o ver nor of Louisiana, having resigned that office, Mr. Joshua Baker is hereby appointed to the va? cancy declared thereby. The same order as? signs Brevet Major-General K. C. Buchanan to duty as commander of the district of Louisi? ana and assistant commissioner bf the Freed? men's Burean. The New Orleans Times, speaking of the new Governor, says that he is a native of Ken? tucky, but an old citizen of Louisiana; was a member of the Philadelphia Conservativo Con? vention of 1SCS, and is fully qualified under thc reconstruction acts, andean take the test oath. The convention tooday resumed the discus? sion of the equality question. After several amendments to Wickliffe's substitute bad been offered and voted down, tbe following wau of? fered by Mr. Pinchbeck, and adopted as the 13th article of the constitution: All peinons shall enjoy equal rights, and provides that while travelling in this State, in any convey? ance of a public character, and in all business places or otherwise carried on by charter, or for which a license is required from the State, parish or municipality, they shall be deemed places of a public character and shall be opened to the accommodation and patronage of all persons without distinction or discrimination on account of race or color. In reply to a communication from Governor Flanders charging the police jury of the Parish of Orleans with official corruption, and re? commending their removal, General Hancock says these charges present a proper case for I judicial investigation and determination, and it is evident to him that the courts of justice ; can afford adequate relief for the wrongs com? plained of, if proven. He bas therefore con? cluded it i'j not advisable to resort to the mea? sure suggested. i. A: rest of Bradley In 8 a van nal?. SAVANNAH, Januaiy 3.-A. A.

Things In Washington. DISSATISFACTION AMONG SOUTHERN RADICALS PREFERENCE FOB CHIEF JUSTICE CH A 8E GRANT'S POSITION AND VIEWS-AN EFFORT TO THROW THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION INTO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES-INTERESTING SPECULATIONS. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Sun writes ; From letters received in this city from prom? inent Radical politicians in the South, and from statements made by such men as H am? hurst and Hunnieutt of Virginia, there seems to be mach dissatisfaction with the action of the. republican executive committee in fixing BO early a date as May 20th, for the meeting of tho republican nominating convention. A ma? jority of the Southern Radicals oppose the nomination of General Grant, and urge the claims of Chief Justice Chase, and they argue that the action of the republican executive committee was for the purpose of securing Grant's nomination; for it is scarcely probable that the ?Southern States will be admitted to representation in Congress before May, and without such representation they will be de (rived of any voice in the nominating couve n ion, for, under the rule adopted, no delegates aro to be admitted except such as come from States that are represented in Congress. This question has been exercising the minds of Radical politicians in and out of Congress for some time, and they are at a loss to know how to ac ... The Southern Radicals demand as a nomm?e a man whose views are positively defined, and who stands squarely upon the platform of universal negro surrrage. General Grant, they say, does not do this, and Chief Justice Chase does. The Conservative Re? publicans will, of course, support Grant, but it seems evident that the Northern Radicals will strike hands with their brethren of the South, and demand a nominee who is committed to ttegro suffrage. The programme to bo pur? sued is, therefore, beginning to be developed, and the Radicals will play their cards in such a way as will best tend to throw the Preside at i al election in the House of Representatives, where the vote will, under the constitution, be taken by States, and where, they claim, Mr. Chase will secure a majority. The plan to be pursued seems to be to allow the Chicago Convention to assemble and nominate Grant? Before the election comes [off the Southern States will be admitted to re ?iresentation in Congress-all Arrioauized or the Radicals argue that, when the question of the admission of the States is presented, 'the conservative Republicans will be compelled to come to the assistance of tho Radioals to assist in securing their admission. Once re? cognized on tho floor of Congress, the States now excluded will bo entitled to voices in the electoral college. With all tho States admitted, there will be 317 electoral votes, and it re? quires, under the constitution, a majority of tbe whole number of electors to elect a Pre si dent. This majority will be 159. Should the Chicago Convention nominate Grant, th e Radicals propose afterwards to meet in convention and nominate Chase. This would split up the Republican party, and there would be slight hope of an election by the people, for, as it is understood, it seems to be a part of the Radical plan to nm a Chase electoral ticket only in the Africanized Southern States, while they wonld leave Grant to fight it out with the Dem? ocratic nominee in the Nor'h. Missouri and Tennessee are already Africinized and com? mitted to the Radical interest, and with the other Southern States (except Maryland, Ken? tucky and Delaware) under negro domination, Chase would secure ninety-one electoral voteB. If the recent elections mean anything, Connec? ticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Ken? tucky, Indiana, Wisconsin and California, with sixty votes, may be counted upon for the Dem? ocratic nominee. Fo this list must be added Pennsylvania, with ber twenty-six. electoral votes, thus giving the Democratic nominee eightj'-six votes, leaving Grant with one hun? dred and seven votes. Throw Now York in either scale, and still there is no election by the electoral colloge. Give him even Indiana and Wisconsin with the above States, and there is still no election. These are tho figures of the Radicals, and this is the way they argue to prove that they will 6ecuio a President after their own heart in 18G8. Despairing of success before the peo? ple, i hey hopo to accomplish their ends through the agency of the Fortieth Confess. Conservative Republicans are beginning to realize the real plans of I he Radicals, and they will, therefore, hesitate somewhat before they admit the Southern States m such a form as will give the Radical clement the pre? ponderating influence, and hand tho country over to tho domination of such men os Messrs. Ashley, Bout well, Stevens, Butler & Co. 1 HE DEMOCRATIC DINNEB. The Democrats of the District are making great pr?parations for their eighth of January dinner. They are to have about one hundred and fl! ty invited guests. The President has promised to attend. All the members of the cabinet have been invited, including General Grant. Ex-Presidents Pierce, Fillmore and Buchannan, Generals Sherman, Hancock, Blair, Harney and Steedman, and th a leading Democratic politicians from all parts of the country are invited. ?FF AXES TS KEW ORLEANS. General Steadman telegraphed the President to-day from New Orleans Btrting that if an or? der was not issued before January 1, reinsta? ting Governor Wells in Louisiana, the law of the legislature authorizing a loan of three millions for the repair of the levees would ! cease to bo operative with the present year. As ?B well known the law in question requires that the bonds should receive the signature of Governor Wells to make them valid, notwith? standing the military edict of Sheridan to the contrary. The telegram from General Stead? man was referred to General Grant. THE RECONSTRUCTION ACTS. It is true that some active measures are being taken to bring the constitutionality of the Reconstruction acts before tbe Supreme Court of the United States. The parties moving in the matter claim to have the sym? pathy of the President, and have engaged eminent counsel, but as yet no test case is on the docket. COLONEL SHERMAN. Tho announcement that General Sherman was to assume command of the Department of the East, has led many to suppose that Lieu? tenant-General Sherman was to be assigned to this command, Tho officer referred to, how? ever, is T. W. Sherman, Colonel of the Third United States Artillery and Brevet Major General. He ranks General Butterfield on bis Colonelcy only. FASHION? FUR JANUARY. NEW YORE, December 28. OAS LIGHT EXHIBITORS. A new idea is so rare a thing that it deserves special mention wherever and whenever it is found. This particular idea is not, however, quite new, except in the mode in which it has been carried out, but still in the absence of anything better it will do. It consists of gas? light exhibitions in the daytime by prominent milliners and raodists. Since bonnets became small, tiie profits upon them reduced, and the largest number of them made by ladies them? selves, it bas been common to associate dress? making with millinery in all the large estab? lishments, especially as with the introduction of gore dresses came the almost absolute ne? cessity of employing an artiste at least to cut and fit them, and as a consequence, the profits of dress-making increased as those upon milli? nery went down. Tho association of these two departments proves a most fortunate conjunc? tion in these difficult times, and renders gas? light exhibitions very effective. Tho usual method is to exclude every partido of light from the large and elegant show-rooms, arrange complete costumes at one end, and dress bon? nets, bridal veils, wreaths, head-dresses and tho like, at the other, with figures in opera, evening, street or in-door toilettes everywnere. The rooms ore then brilliantly lighted with gas, and cards of invitation having been previously sent rouud, aro thronged all uay by ladies who are frequently tempted into on extravagant purchase by seeing the full effect of a complete evening costume. Among THE NOVELTIES DISPLAYED at one of these exhibitions was a manteau de ta oour attached to a rich evening dress of white unwatcred moire. The mantean is a long square train, one end of which is laid in plaits across the back of a low-necked dress. The trail is from one to two yards long from the bottom of the skirt, and requires considerable skill and adroitness to manage. A trimming of rich li"" ' ally added to the edge, which enhances LUO rx? it some hundreds of dollars, but in this case the edge was simply scolloped and bound with white satin. Tbe lining also was white satin. A costuma of rich green faille (a thiok silk, with a fine cord) was much ad? mired. It was trimmed with a flounce of white point applique lace, headed with a rouleau of green satin, a wide sash of lace, ?nd a lace shawl was draped apon the shoulders. Tbe Erice of this entire costume as it stood was one lousand dollars. The new French sleeve was attached to this dress ; it reaches to thc elbow, where it is slightly gathered on the inside of the arm, and a lace or tango attached, which falls over ; it is called tho Watteau sleeve, and is always accompanied by a square body, low or cut out a ta Pompadour. Long white gloves are worn with thin sleeve, which only leaves an inch or two upon the arm visible. A new method of ornamenting a dress is to drape a scarf across the front of the corsage, and allow the two ends to fall from the right shoulder, forming an open Roman sleove, made m white merino, bordered with gold, the pointed ends finished with gold taBsols ; the effect is decid? edly classic, particularly in conjunction with the gold Greek bands, which are now the most fashionable for the hair. NEW HARDWARE AND LEATHER ORNAMENTS. But the taste for ornaments is not by any means confined to the classic and antique. The most absurd fancies prevail, aud a design is valued, not for its beauty, but for its eccentri? city. The broad sashes looped low, and often used to tie up the ovcrskirt on the left side or at the back, are now fashionably paasod through enormous gilt or velvet covered rings, and size being an object, huge furniture rings are resorted to, and rings made of wood and afterwards covered with velvet. To tho small? er rings of fire gilt, kuys, or a singlo gilt key is attached, iu imitation of an ancient house? keeping method of banging a bunch of keys at the side ol' tho dress. There is something Sirofane, however, in adopting as a caprico of ashion the insignia of an old-fashioned virtue. Chains and chatelaines aro also worn, the form? er consisting of not less than five, from the ends of which are[suspended ascent-bottle and bunch of enlarged "charms." The wide sash ends, which descend low on the skirt, aro now made of either piece antin, silk or velvet, and are embroidered upon the ends with the mono, gram in colors, or coat of arms of the wearer" THU CHATELAINES are a much older institution. It is sevoral seasons since they wore introduced, and this winter they have been again revived. They consist of a sort of bunch of silk, satiu or vel? vet, embroidered, and suspeuded by two em? broidered bands from thc waist; they hold the scent bottle and tiny laoe handkerchief. A new style for morning wear is made of Viennese leather, and consists of belt and chatelaine, ornamented with very small gilt or steel nails. Keys, small vessels fully rigged, jockev capB mounted with sporting emblems, and tie like, are the latest Parisian invention for ear-rings, and the designs are embroidered on the cor? ners of the pocket handkerchiefs. Very new handkerchiefs have centres of unbleached cambric and wide hems of lilac, red, violet or blue; of course they are only used for morning or indoor wear. Handkerchiefs for the streets are embroidered with crest, monogram or de? vice, and lace are used for the evening with only the smallest of cambric. Such handker? chiefs as these and the last are not iuteuded for use. A flue lady employs it like her fan and boquet, as a means of fascination and not a vulgar necessity. BRIDAL OUTFITS. Allusion hos been made moro than once to the difficulty of procuring ladies' ready-made clothing even in the large cities. Establish? ments for ladies' outfits aro advertised and talked of, but there aro none where complete outfits ot different grades or even of one grade eau be obtained at once, and tbe price imme? diately ascertained. In London and Paris complete bridal outfits of at least throe differ? ent grades can be obtained at a moment's no? tice, and the cost seen at a glance by printed lists. There is a long day's work to find an. es t?mate of tba vari?os articles, which never proves a correct one, and to which, by one pretence or other, a largo or small sum is al? ways afterwards added. Moreover, there is no stock to select from, nearly every article most be made and the bili, however plain the (tar? mont, foote np into large proportions. A la? dies' furnishing establishment where outfits could be obtained tasteful and lady-like in de? sign, careful and good in material, neat in workmanship, and of various grades, ia an ab? solute want in New York city and would re? alize a fortune if properly conducted. It must be content with reasonable profits however, if { it would bo a popular institution and not expect two hundred per cent, on tho cost of every article mode. The following table of a trous? seau for twenty poundfl sterling is copied from the original list of a London ladies' outfitting establishment and shows how they do these things in England: A TBOOSSEAU FOB TWENTY POUNDS. e. d. ? e. d.

THE ABBIVAL An August evening at Savannah, that ?trange somber town of Georgia; eight men, planters, bat alien born, four of them lately returned from the West Indies, were sitting drinking burgundy in the balcony of the first floor of the Muscogco House in Bay-street, tho fashionable hotel of the city at the period of our story-tho year preceding the war ol independence. The gi ave and mysterious city was that August evening quieter and more silent than usual. The broad unpaved streets were deep with soft saud, that muffled the wheels of tho cotton-bale wagons and of the carts laden witli rice, jost arrived from Augusta. Here and there a negro dozed upon a door step, or chat? ted with some gossip in a stealthy way at a street corner; indeed the whole city iwould have seemed silent as a cemetery, but for the wild mocking laughter that rose from th? bal cony, where tho Cbattahowchie (or Death's Head ) Club was holding its nightly revel. The laughter was an exasperating laughter, loud, defiant, taunting, and insolent-the sort ol' laughter that would have made a high-spirited man passing by slip his hand to his sword, and look up to discover whence the jarring sound had come. A sudden gleam of light through the open folding doors of an inner room, that showed the dining-room and sanctum of the Duelists' Club ready for the reception, seemed to act as a mute signal for the men to return to the table for more wine, and to rally onco more round the chairman. The room was decorated in a way that could only have been carried out by men of wealth, who had grafted on their natural vices the morbid, farouche, aud fantas? tic extravagance peculiar at that time to Span ish and French voluptuaries in the West In dies. Pleasure among these men had none of the French gaiety about it. They were wan ton, arrogant, ruthless, quarrelsome and over bearing-conscious of being the dread of half Georgia, and proud of tho fear they had ex cited. It was scarcely a wonder that the mystery and terror with which they had surrounded their iuiquitous association, together with tho frequency of their deadly duels-nearly always fatal to their adversaries-had roused the fear and hatred of-tho citizens of Savannah. Their club room was bombie and ghastly in itu decorations; yet, bat for the crimes of those who sat there, and the fact of thoir braggadocio hoing backed by their daring, it would have appeared merely puerile and theatrical. The room was hong with black cloth, on which was worked in silver thread the names of all per? sons who had fallen by the sword or pistole of the members, and the date of each death. Over the mantel-piece was a large star, composed of death's head moths, aud a large rack fall of swords and saw-handled pistols; each locked in it? place like the favorite cues in a billiard room The cups were human skulls, lined with silver, in tho manner Byron afterward perpetuated in England; and a bleached skull projected from the ghastly pinnacle ot'the black d?as that spread above the chairman's seat. Everything that could bo black was black but the chairs, und they were covered with rod velvet and studded with silver nails-in a way to horribly remind one of state coffins. Beside every group of wine cups lay a pistol, to be employed iu case of an immediate duel springing up from any sudden disagreement botween two members. It was no wonder that exaggerated reports of the mysterious and unhallowed orgieB of thepe young rake-hells had invested their meetings with an atmosphere of almost supernatural horror. The vice of these troubled times waa as defiant and reckless as it was heartless and cruel. Two members of the Death's Head Club, more lazy, or more contemplative than tho others, remained in the outer room loaning over the balcony, watching night darken down the street, where the fitful lamps now grew momentarily brighter; the ono a dark, hand? some young fellow, with cold keen eyes and a malign mouth, was rapping the balconv-rail with his sword-hilt; tho other, a red, flush? ed, swaggering, dissolute-looking old officer, whose blood-shot eyes seemed staring out of his head, was carelessly shuttling a pack ol' cards with the practiced air of an inveterate gambler. Heated with wiuo, the two revelers seemed to bathe themselves in tho cool eve? ning air, that blew freshened from tho river. It bad been a burning day; and the very houses seemed calmly enjoying the cool twilight brocze. All at once there was a sound of wheols, a furious clack of whips, loud as pistol shots, and a large dusty travelling carriage swept round the coiner ol' Broad-street. It was drawn by four foaming black horses, and the two negro postilions, who shouted at the tired animals to urgo them on, were dressed in showy scarlet and yellow jackets. The vehi clo (hew up at the door of the Muscogoe Hotel. Tho carriage door instantly opened, and out stepped a tall, gaunt officer, in French uniform, who handed out hie travelling companion, Tho lady, evidently his daughter, waa a young girl of about eighteen, and o:' a beauty of tl* rareefc and most perfect tyr e. Some fire-flies that the servant had caught for ber, in the course of the journey, glistened like diamonds in her dark nair, and gave an Undine sort of character to her pale, sensitive and intellec? tual face, and seemod to catt such sparkles on her large, dark, Italian eyes, as stray stars cast upon a river at midnight. She was dressed in black; and that sombre color, so jarring with outh, Beemcd only to spiritualize the tender eauty of her face and the delicate symmetry of her form. "Why, Clisaon, ifs that colonel's daughter you made love to at Guadeloupe !" said the el? der of the men in the balcoiiy. "May I never Bweop the board again, if it isn't Miss Dolores Maasardl O, you lucky 'log I Egad, you mast propose to ber again; and if she won't have you, carry her OH, md we'll standby you." "You are right, Johnson; it is Dolores," said the younger man, leaning eagerly over the bal? cony. "Yes, it is; bow beautiful she looks! And there's that sour beggar of a father, whom the General would not Iel me tight wish, though he refusod me Dolores. Now, Ml have my revenge. He shall figh t me now, or give mo bis daughter's band. I know abe still loves me-I know that-" "The colonel refused to tight members of our club at Guadalonpe I" sud the other sav? agely. "He called us gamblers and assassins; but we'll try bim now. Hera, you men, come here." Clisson and Johnson rm into the other room. The elder explained matters. The o un ger laid down his cruel scheme in a few oe ty sentences. "The fighting member af the night has a right to a kiss from every lady that enters this house. He must demand b is right-he will be refused; he mnst then force his claims and fight the colonel. I shall pretend to interfere to carry out a certain plan of my own against the lady; but that ia nothing to any of you. If tho colonel wounds tho man of the night, the next member in rotation fights him. He will not pass two of us. Johnson's lunge at thc arm-pit is protty sure. I killed a man hut week; but I am tho last ou the list now. You know I don't fear fighting; bit we must take our turna. You havo all sworn to carry out the schemes of any of your brother members." " We are ready," cried tia men. Tho fighting member-tba brave on the bal? cony-hesitated a moment aa be took down his cocked bat and sword from a nail behind the door. "I have taken rather too much bur? gundy,'' ho said, "to bo very steady; but I think 1 could run a house fi;.' through the head at tho second pasB. Como, let's feel the fel? low's pulse." Tho men put on their swords, and descended in a noisy body to the private apartments to which the waiters had just ushered the colonel and his daughter. " Hot fools," said Clisson to himself ; " they little know that the colonel has an incompara? ble parry, and a return thirst which he plants just under the left collar bone ; that no duellist m France who over crossed swords with him has escaped that thrust ; and that two out of three it has killed." An the deputation of the Death's Head Club pressod into the room, the colonel met them sternly at the door. "Gentleman, you mistako, thia is a private roora.'' Captain Johnson, the fighting member, ad? vanced at once in an insolent manner to Colo? nel Massard and his daucli^er, who had come from an inner room, and w ia now clinging to his arm, alarmed at the menacing and disso? lute faces of the intruders. "It is the custom at the Muscogce House," aaid the bully, "in our club fur the fighting member of tho nie;ht to den and a kiaa of every lady guest who arrives hore. For that we have now come. I am the fighting member. My dear mademoiselle, allow me." He laid one largo red hand on tho shoulder of the shrinking girl. The next moment he lay half stunned upou the fioor, Tho Colonol stood with ono foot on Johnson, and waved his drawn sword in bis hand. The club drew back. "Kill him P cried tho prostrate bully. Three or four mou drew their swords and advanced; but tho Colonel struck one in tho arm, thc test tel! back boforj his furious charge. At that moment, Clisson forced bis way tu thc front. "Gentlemen," ho said, with assumed indig? nation, "this is unmanly, thi? is unworthy of brave men, you aro six to ono. The colonel is, no doubt, ready to givo any one of you satis? faction." ? Dolores recognized him, and, lookiug up, thanked him silently with u faint smile. "Young man," said thc colonel sternly, "I can protect myself against even a dozon such ruffians. I have long ago loirned how to guard my own hoad. I have hoard before of your association of murderers; I vowed to check it, as I did at Gaudaloupe. You have hurried on vom- own doom. I did it there by tho law; here I ? iii do it by tue sword. L will fight you ono by ono, in your owu order and in your own place. If 1 fall, thoro are fi.ieuds iu the town who will take caro of my deughtor. Chsaon advanced and o Ile red bis band. "No," he said; "I remera ber you; you aro a gambler and a duellist. I refused you Dolores then, aud I refuao you now. Hhe needs no Erotection cf yours. I seo other old friends ere, too, less unwelcome ".han yourself : Cap? tain Johnson, drummed out of his regiment for selling information to the enemy; Mr. Thornton, a detected gambler, sent to prison in New Orleans for us im: loaded dice. Mr. Clisson, vou neod givo mci no other proof ot your reformation; 1 see it by your compan? ions." IL THE HEN CO NTH E. Thc rules of the Death's Head Club required their duels to be by candlelight, without sec? onds; the combatants were locked in the club room till the victor gave the signal for the doors to be opened. The colonel made no ob? jection to these restrictions. He only binded haughtily when he saw tho theatrical horrors of the room. "Good to frighten children," he said; "but good for nothing else. I prefer fighting with? out seconds. One eau devote oneself more thoroughly to the work on hand; besides, there ?B leas interruption. Have you a surgeon ready, gentlemen V" " There is no need of a surgeon," said his antagonist, the red-faeed ijaptaiu he had trod? den under foot the night before. " My sword generally saves any expemies that way.-' Tho doors were lockod. There was a heavy stamping of feet as Captain Johnson advanced to the attack; then a sound of ahivered-ateel, a gasping cry, and a heavy fall upon the floor. "You may open tho door, gentlemen," aaid a voice. Tho door was open 3d, and there lay the champion of tho club wounded to death. His broken sword was at the further end of the room; tho colonel, as they entered, horror stricken, took oil' his hat, sheathed his sword, bowed, and retired. The olub was astonished and dumbfounded. The captain had boon run through tho lungs, just under the left collar? bone. Thero was httlo hope of his life. Tho aecond and third days tho'colonel dangerously wounded Iiis man in an equally short space of time, and with equal cold and formal gravity. UL THE BB3BET. Tho evening of tho third day, as Dolores Massard sat in her roora nt hor tambonr-trnme, iu the absence of her father, who had como on a secret commission from the French Govern? ment to some of thc planters near ?Savannah, disaffected to the EugUa!a Government, her black mu-so, suddenly entering tho roora, whis? pered in a low, frightened voice: "Young gentleman, dear! old friend to see missy !" The woman had boen bribed by Glisson, who now entering the room, throw himself at tho feet of Dolores, and scizinr her hand, covored it with passionate kisses. "Dear Dolores," he said; "ray life, my soul, do vou love me no longer?'' "Oh, Frank, you must not see me hero. My father has forbidden mo io see you." "Dolores, you lovid mo once. Do you re? member that'night by the sea-shore, when we exchanged those vows of c ternnl love V' "Ask your owu heart, Frank-ask it if I can forget that on the death-lied of my mother I swore uovor to give my hand to you. Aud that vow I will koop." . "Dolores, vou do me wrong. Von think lam one of those wild, reckless men who insulted your father. I am not one or those mon. I tried iu vniu to repress their insolence. I como to you now as a suppliant To-morrow my father lights yours. 1 know he must die. I know that noshing can save him from thc irre? sistible swordsmanship that has already struck down mau after man. I would willingly die for my father; but ho will not let me take his place because I am not ono of tai? baud of pro-1 fessional assassins. O, Dolore ?, does not vi;ur heart bleed fer me ? Pity me, pity me, Dolores; tormented by this tembl? fear, and helpl-ias before this cinel destiny." "Frank, wy heart does bleed for you; but how, how car I help you V I have no powei." The perfidious lover clasping her in his arms, tears rose in his eyes. "Yon have the power," ho cried. "Tell me your father's secret of success. My father, knowing this,can bale him and disarm him. Aa I hope for succor in my last hour, it is only to save my father that I ask this." Dolores sa ak her head for a moment; then she flung her arms round C liss on's neck nnd kissed his forehead. "Frank," she said, "though we may nerer more see each other in this world, T. cannot re? fuse this request, for I know how deo: a father's life hi. I can trust yon, Frank, lkn >w, with the secret that guards the lire thai, is bound np with mine. My father, years ago, lost his left arm at a siege in India; it was re? placed by one of wood, skilfully made, workng with metal springs, and strengthened below the elbow by metal bands. On this he recei res his adversary's first thrust; then, quick as thought, he breaks in two his enemy's bl.de with a heavy side blow, and delivers his fi .tal thrust under the left collar bone..'' Glisson'? lips were pressed to hers, whe a a warning from tho black nurse of the colonel's carriage stopping at the hotel door, distuned the lovers, and they parted with a hurried but passioned embrace. That same night-to the astonishment of the club and the no great sorrow of the next combatant-Clisson announced his intention of being the next man to cross swords with the colonel. "I have my reasons," he said; "and to-night I carry off the girl." "But that confounded thrust?" suggested th J chairman. ' "0, leave that to me. I did not learn fenc? ing of Destouches for nothing; never yon fear me." "Clisson has got some mischief in hai d," said one of the men; "his eyes sparkle so, ana he is in such mad spirits. Well, I'd just as soon he fought this colonel before me. I'd rather the old fellow got a thrust or two in bis sword-arm before my turn, came." The duel took place the next morning. The colonel paused when he saw Clisson. The doors closed, and they were left alone. "Young man," he said, "we have old grudg? es,, and it is well we meet. Have you not ta ken wirrung by your companions? Will nothing teach you wisdom ? I thonght Ul of you in Guadaloupe, and refused yon my daughter, ind here I find you the member of a club of assas? sins. Come, draw, sir." "Colonel Massard,*' said Clisson, biting his under hp till the blood almost came, "you owe more to good fortune than to skill or COUTI ge. I, too, have been fortunate with the sword. Luck may turn this time. I have my compan? ions to revenge, and your insults, old and r.ew, to repay tlireefold." The colonel threw his hat behind him, and drew his sword. "Young man," he said, "I am told that in your club priority goes according to the num? ber of homicides you have efiected. Ju that caso you have not made, I presume, more than two or three widows. Now, sir, comer death waits for you." The colonel was cold and sternly resolute; but there was no eargernesa for blood in the manner in which he advanced to the att ?ck. There was more of the judge than the execu? tioner about him as he looked around the lim ghastly room. He seemed as confident of vic? tory as if he had been sent hom heave 1 to perform a punishment that had been prophe? sied. He stood there a frame of steel, his Bword feeling along his adversary's blade, i en? suive of the finest vibration and thirsting for the thrust. Glisson also stood keen of eye and watchful. Suddenly tho colonel dasbed bis left arm al bis point. The wooden fingers opened to clutch the blade. Glisson saw the moment had arriv? ed. He passed his point to the right, threw off his adversary's sword, and then, with a swift clinging pressure toward the hilt, bent it to tbe floor. The colonel drew back astor, ish od; but careless of hhs life, he did not ruthe from the threatening sword that was raised to strike him to the heart. Glisson delayed his vengance only to taste it tho longer. He had pierced his adversary's left shoulder, and the sword was raised for the coup de grace, when the folding-doors of the inner room had? ing to the balcony were dashed open; it was Dolores who rushed in, and drawing a piiitol, fired at her cruel and faithless lover, wno fell to the ground, pierced by a ball in the cl est. The brave girl, a soldier's daughter, perlect ly reliant ou her lover's truth, yet still, she knew not why, apprehensive of the result of the duel, had concealed herself, armed, in the iunor room of the club, with the co-operation of her faithful black nurse. The first KO rd spoken by Clisson proved to her that she had buen betrayed; and bearing her father in dan? ger, abo at once appeared on the scene os an avenging angel, to save her father, and punish her worthless and lying lover. "Gentlemen," said tho Colonel, who had heard all from Dolores, as he threw open tbe door and admitted the now terrified club, "it was my daughter who struck down this ?ian, not I. He was a liar and a scoundrel; he broke bis word, and he has deserved his fate, even if it be instant death. Take up your champion; I have punished you uow enough. To-night my daughter and myself depart for New Or? leans, where I can be heard of by any of your club still wishing to cross swords." Glisson eventually recovered, and flea to South America; he reappeared during the War of Independence, but sank lower and lo wer in in? famy, till a pistol shot over a gambling table at Callao finally rid the world of a hopelesu vii-1 hun. As for Colonel Massard, he settled after the peace in Arkansas, and mainly helped to reclaim that wild terricory from the Indiai-s. : Dolores Mussard, three years after the down? fall of the Death's Head Club, married a rela? tive of Georgo Washington. Her descendants are now wealthy people in Louisiana, and have large estates a few miles from Baton Beuge, on the banks of the Mississippi.

ILuruTAOTOHIES STOPPED AND WoREMEr DIS? CHARGED.-A New Yol k letter, dated on Mon? day says: The extensive carpet manufactory of Messrs. Higgins A Co., Forty-third-street, employing about fourteen hundred hands, was the scene of considerable excitement this morning, in consequence of a large number of the employ? ees quitting work because their wages w ire to be reduced ten per cent., "owing to the stigna tion in trade." The operativea say that uageB aro already BO low that they can hardly keep their families from starving. The movement, it is said, will include all hands, though i-,s yet not more than about one-half refuse to work. Most of the large steel and iron warks in West? chester County, New York, are discharging their hands. At the Mott Haven Iron Works, usually employing one hundred and eighty five men, only twenty-five ore now at work. At Jones' Foundry, Mott Haven, Saturday night fifty mm were discharged. The New York Times, of Wednesday, siva : "The workmen-nearly one thousand-em? ployed in the railroad shops at Scranton, Pa., were yesterday notified that a reduction nf ten per cent, on their wages would be mai le to dav. The shops have recently been working on" eight-hemt' time. The proprietors cf the Dixon Iron Works, at the same place, lfhich employs about seven hundred men, gt.ye a similar notice to their employees yesterday, and will also reduce the number of workmein by discharging many of the single men. The Lackawana Iron Company at Scranton recently discharged a large number of men, an 3 will further reduce ita force to-day." The New York World, of Wednesday, si.ye: "On last Saturday the Superintendent of Prospect Park, under the direction of the Park Commissioners, discharged some seven hun? dred men. These men are now beseeching their frionda to have them reinstated, but this, of course, cannot ne done. The workingmen seo this and are anxiously watching tho pro? ceedings of Congress, expecting relief. They parade the streete daily io search of employ? ment of some kind, but in vaia, and many of them arc now in sacha deplorable condition that they do not know where their next month's rent is to come from.
