Singular Developments tn Regard to the Operations, ot tue Kadlcal "lug In Georgia-The u en son why Turner waa Dlapharge.d- . he Dismissal of p Officer McNeil. A Macon corrrspondent of tho Augusts Chronicle throw- some light upon thc secret history of the Turner affair, and explains why it was that the arrest and examination were so long sud so itnpropo.lv delayrd. He says : lt will be recollected that wheu the womaii A Barrie wa? rccadtd to Atlanta while ic charge ol your police, on der Way to Augusta lor ex? amination, she maje a 1ml and explicit contes sion, m which she most positively and unequi? vocally implicated turner a* the patty ho no. whom she obtained the forged bills of the First National Bank of Kew Jersey. Toe reason of thia recall of Marian Hains to Aiiauta for ex? amination there, bas never boen accounted for. I think thu I cm explain it fully. On tbe Fnduy aueruoo.i that Lieutenant Purcell lefi atlanta wi'.u Harris it became known to a fewpeiaO-iS ia the ring that she had or woa:d implicate limier, on ber exam? ination in Augusta, mallock aud <>ther friends of Turner determined to get Harris out ot Purcell's possession tor tbe purpose of influ? encing ber to keep silent as to i'urner. Ibis 5 cou d be best ac-omplshed by having her brought back to At tanta. Able counsel were, employed and some man pn;attons cf United States' officials practiced, and the result was an order by telegraph from the acting Uuited 8Utes*marshal directed io Purcell at Union Point, on tbe Georgia Railroad, directing him to leturn immediately with Ins prisoner to At? lanta. When the tr*iu reached Union Point At 12 o'clock Friday night, Pureed found the telegram there, ordering him to return. This he aid. Oa the same ment notice was (riven bv telegraph to Turner, then iu Macon, to pro immediately to Atlanta and see the woman Harris, i'o deceive Parcel), lim Murphy and others, who were really anxious to have justice done and to see the woman and Turo er com muted, they were informed that Turner had been arrested, and that he and the woman Hams would be examined and committed ou Monday. In the meantime other United Slates offi? cials were placed in charge of Harris, and the process of manipulation began. Sharp lawyers were taken to ber in the interest of 'i tu? ner, and free and full communication was al? lowed between them and HatriB. What wat. aud and done at these repeated interviews and consultations can be readily divined by the resalta whioh followed. The sh m inves? tigation was had and Harris discharged on straw bail for $1500, Tamer returned to Ma eon tully secure that the storm had passed. The arrest and examination of Harris brought other parties on the scene. An official of the Treasury Department was close.v watching the proceedings, and became folly Batis?ed that both Harris and Turner were legally guilty, and at bis instance Harris was again arrested and commuted. Ho had mada other disoeveries which were important, and winch required bis presence for some days in Macon. Several months since some of tbe getminj plates in the Treasury Department at Wash? ington bad been stolen. These were the plates used for the prining of the tweuiy-five cent and fifty cent postal currency. As your read? ers are aware the signatures to these notes are engraved wi m the balance of tue note. Tbe possession of tbe genuine plates would onablc the party having them to strike off real gtnnit>e currency in every respect exactly lik? that is? sued by the Treasury Department. When these plates were stolen a reward of ten thousand dollars was effered by the co vern men t for their reccery. Suspicion fell at the time upon the horde of carpet-baggers and scalawags thoo in Washington from the South urging farther Kascriptive measures against this section. t? ctivtjs were set to work, and whilj pur Buing the lrail the arrest of Harria occurred. Developments growing out of her trial led to the be-ief that Turner, bwayz-j, and other Georgia Radicals, were tbe guilty parties. Ef? forts were redoubled to secure the ' plates." lt was soon discovered tbat a large q entity of new currency of the twenty-five ana fifty cent denoKin-hon bad been pul in circulation du? ring the spring and early summer iu Macon, lo thia city these detectives came immedi? ate^. Pox tho purpose of concealing their object and movements, it was necessary tbat Tur? ner's fears should be qaie ed. and tbat tbe woman Harria ?hould b3 closely confined and deprived of communication with outsider*, and particularly with Turner and Swayzo. Blodgett ?.nd others of the ring. Very soon evidence wis ob'atned whioh satisfied this officer that the ''plates" were in Macon and had tx-en used here. A number of the bills issued here were discovered, and hopes at one lime indulged that the place of secretion of the pi?tee found < at. A targe quantity of this currency had been put in eire ala rion br S wa. zs. li was thought that the plates were worked in his office, and a trap bad been set to catch bim, and wbiob promised success. Jost then Marian Harris was s gain discharged from custody, and the arrest of Turner could no longet be de? layed. Tbe matter was precipitated br this im? proper discharge of Harris, who. under the in? fluence, if not tbe positive directions ot Bat lock and Blodgett, was thus set tree. In the meandu* Swatze had become alarm? ed lest turner should turn State's eviddnce against him, and to head Turner ofi took sides in tbe prosecution against the latter-be. doubtless, calculating that if T. should blow iron bim after be bad arrayed himself against Tamer, that his story would be attributed to a spirit of revenge and fall harmless to the ground. I have tbe best reason for believing that the Post office and the Treasury Departments at Washington were satisfied of the guilt of both Turner and Swat zs. and that oltiei leading Radicals in the State known as the Blodgett ring, were as deep m the mad as Turner and 8wayz3 were in tbe mire. Tbe effect upon tho Radical party of a conviction of its mont trust? ed leaders in this State would have been ter? ribly damaging. Suoh a catastrophe would r .in the party ni the entire -South and bring it into disgrace in the North and West. Hence it was determined to relieve ruiner and stop the investigado.! against Swayze. To moro surely effect the latter purpose, the detective McNeil, who was working ap the c te? was summarily dismissed from offiie. And it is said, and generally believed here, that if Com? missioner Morrell had withstood the prceaore broagbtto bear in Tamer's favor ard oouod him over for trial, be, loo, would have lost his place. THE GRANT B CB RLE PUNCTURED. The nadir ni Estimate of the Adminis? tration- Giant a Failure-Ills oracu? lar Mirnee a HaSibng-How he Chese his Cabinet-Hia Affected i ore of l<e tirement and Social Exploits-Matter? lugs of the Coming Storm. , The most terrible Radical onslaught on Pres? ident Grant th.it bas yet appeared, is publish? ed in tbe form of a Washington letter to the Cincinnati Commercial. Severe as it is, it un? doubtedly represents che real feelings ol the Radical party leadeis toward* the administra? tion ot this time. We give a portion of the letter : This administration is a piece of archil ec tnre. withoui a capital, with ull the Cm at,des knocked from under save the Treasury Depart? ment, and i h u is fractured a little, it io much ta bo feared. Wc will wait a little. Bat giving the bent guess from the present sraiulpoiut tho President bas fi?ed as. He is a disappoint? ment. He has not done one luminous act since coming to power on ?he ? h of Mitch, not one that the people have risen upan, applauded bim for. Hu is opaque to-day as io thc inter? regnum foi ming bia Cabinet, and thu thing cleanest m tum capacity is that thc Ight in not in bim. LO moro than in the tumlnc-down Cabi? net ntf.ir. The pcopl9 have pinned filth to his mysteriousness lone cuongb, and i: is all that they have yet or perhaps will have ti.l t ho tnd, to aVsni e taem of thc future. There i- a kind of pretentious nico tscqtonca abontthe administration that is rici-? ions, a waving of sicnals. a parading of S ore tarlee, a running to and fro ot blue-breeched, shonider stiap luckies, a buzz of bass drums in 'he b i k ground, as it there were being spread tho net of eouie complicated, far-sightca tremendous policy, a 6bimmor and .-how ot ponderousness that exists only in the expectations ol' the peo? ple. Altogether, it suggests - a council of red chiefs ^muting profoundly and s wappa o R wam? pum, or a Puritan picnic ?nth I'eD-um suns around tho borders, tinda popping?f ginger beer and a wr ngiuq ot chi-kens' necks tu tua frontispiece.; lae uoabt once m a while grows thick whether Grant is nut more at home in a sig behind his Havana titan ?li tho While House, fronting the people. Loo'aiiig him eteadiiy in the face, is occurs to you that fae Republican nulty, poweifjl as it was, miglK have taken noni hts box tho first intelligent hackrnan on tho street, and doue as w<-!l. Grant's f ice ii8% no cteaniesB or illutniui i in in it. more than had his military p ?hey tor brotk?ie. down rebellion. Tue Atlantic Monthly lately contained an article upon his "inte I c u? ll character." It is in doubt whether it exis s Not a mau, wi nam, or ball crown child in tho country but ban constantly but the lidd e thee? two years: ' How is it that Grant, with thia fae- like a s^ogy boot, is a great man ?" 1 he red quen is as? to tho fact IT o whole mutter will probably turn out simply enough that, like other mo i, he is what h? aupcars to be. The Brutus.-s who seem f JOIJ and tura u:> wise men, are few. Grant ?wann lo the head or military afl nra when the momentum <>i the ua Ten was ready to break down treasoD. Ho swings to tao iront of civil affairs when tho party that cave supremacy to ideas has beco ne the nation itself, an- he as a bab ?.Q borne on its s?rtase. Li either ca*e tho people have beeu of real importance, and tho maa of fictitious importante. We wanted a hero and a Presi? dent, and pronounced tho word-Graut. Grant came, L'e:;ev;aj* in himself, and im? post d upon us Hi.sHora?j!ar silence at the I eginumg made us ? xpect a Cabinet of giants When the roll or these awaited Mollo-su '8 wis finally called in the Senate, tho half ot them were too teeble to EU W. r to their uamee. Then gomo of them carno at,d drifted a.vay again. The < abinet went to pieces, and form ed again like a delimited battalion, fae min isttrs ban.' to it unsteadily still; and "Who are to be Grant's Secretaries?' is au open question yet, just as if you asked wnat gi ailis of floating s aid would RO into u petrifaction. You have heard how Robeson was appointed Borie'B successor, a jolly fellow introduced drp loraaticaUy to Gran*, in a good mood, on SJ in? board, and def Liv earring bia way into the Cab? inet with his knife os he dined at the same ta? ble. The people needed introduction, too, to the new man. But that was a little matter. The moukey mees somet mes select their leaders by the length ot their tails. Louis XVI I made Monsieur U'Avarav a duke for helping him into hia carriage. Then Grant imposes upon us wu h other pretensions. He bas published to au extravagant eccentricity bis love of quiet and retirement. No public maa of his station, since the beginning of the government has so constantly thrown himself in tho way of the people. A triumphal proces? sion through the country every s.x months since the war has bien the least ot it. As President, be is pushing bis social preroga? tives to the lullest bent. There have passed fourteen weeks since the adjournment of Co 1 gress. Grant has passed the bait of them here, the rest in social unbending elsewuere. They say he takes gaily to the dance at Long Branch, sliding through the figures more glibly than at Annapolis and West Point. lois is vt-ry well; but the country is asking of him and bis Cabinet a few serious questions that it would be well to hive answered from Wash? ington, reception balls at the seashore not withstanding. What about Cub*, bout h Amer? ica, Virginia, the South, th? Alabama matters, and political assassinations ? It is credible that the Cabinet and the head of the nation, properly digesting these things, wonld not find much time to be absent brum the capital. Anyhow, the nation is anxious to see looming above the rosy horizon of babs, routs, excursions, banquets, receptions and seaside frivolities, the executive hand of a nowerful Repuulican administration. We are hardly contented with thia spbinx-liae policy, lt my bu Delphic, as sheila berger said, but is lo*s i liai. Republican. The President would do well to ucoeDt humility from the Cabinet ficixco. and consult the peoole henceforth. A m. mb.ir of the Grant family is reported to have re? marked, just alter the Domination: "It was the General's desire not to Le made President, by a party, but by the peoDle " Perhaps here is a little light. Pernaps Gran* believes that the "era of good feeling '' mav return again un det hi* administration; that be is a Colossus under whose legs all the people eau walk. He need not deceive bimsell; ti is not so. The nation, just DOW, belongs emphatically to the party and policy that elected him. The administration is looking very honest and sat? isfactory in details. But if tt e President does D'it siaud out a little more dearly in Republi? can sunlight in December tban in July, lhere are mat ers brewing for a row. There is no open accusation yet, save in matteis personal, a few signs and omens as if about tbe edges of the administration, "broad bleed nuou tbe peoples' viii," there flickered np duskily and distantly the bale fires of evil, hostile ele? ments. Grant will right himself in tbe larger affairs, ot course, or the party that sustains him will shake bim off as a lion a dewdrop from his mane. 80 tar the pettinesses of his adminis? tration hsve be .n the most objectionable and now, playing President, he reminds yon of tbe boy who wished to be a king, "so that be might ride on the gate-post all dar.*' If he will stop buying bagatelles in New York, ard paradiug bis presidency among the porches of tbe Stet? son and keep to exe 'a ive business here, he will look more like a successor of Washington -bis ambit.on, we ar? tgjd. ABCHU 18H Ol' M*OLOSKEY AND THE O? UM tCSIC AI* COUNCIL, m - * The New York Cathedral was crowded on Sunday last to hear tbe f irewell sermon of the most Rev. Archbishop McCloskey belore his departure for Borne to tako part in the O:u menioai Council. lu the course of bis sermon be made reference to the approaching Counc 1 iu the following terms : In ony great dinger lo ber faith or her peo? ple, pontiffs and bishops have gathered togeth? er from every poi Hon of the world, declaring with solemn emphasis what was tho trurh of God as distinguished irom tbe inventions und errors of men; what was right to practice; bow lu rain etoruaJ lire, and what was most condu? cive to the happiness b th ot individuals and cf society at large. In these councils were set forth, with a precision and a learning never equalled, the dogmas especially a tacked, the morah y which was weakened, and tho laws of discipline which were overthrown. Throe hun? dred \cara have passed since thovorldsaw one ot these, the last 1 reat Council of Trent, in which, according to ibe confession ot Pro? testant historians, was gatheavd a galaxy of learned, profound, pious, and able men, such as tbe world bad never Been before in a Bingle council, to uphold tho integrity of tuc latth. ana to preserve the peace and unity ot tbe church. Si,-cc that time new errors and new acts have ariser,; new heiesies, far more dangerous than those which existed Iben, have sprung up. but all having then* oiigin in ibe errors HtJH heresies condemned b> the Council of Trent. The errors of the present day aita :k not snnplv special truths of the Church but tho whole syst, m of Christianity; they aim to overthrow "the work of Christ on earth, I ho only great bulwark on oar;h for tho protection of the truths revealed by God; to bring about con has on and anarchy, even into civil lite ami private society. lite near ot Christ, in Tiew of these things bas summoned another couti- . eil to meet iu Rome.

Both crews aie busy with a regular coarse ot training, and their movements are chronicled by the newspapers with the greatest particolarify. Tie resal? will be hailed as a na? tional defeat or victory, as the case may be. -It is related of M o ora vi off, the fa moos Russian General, that onoe^when in command of a camp, having discom-ed an alarming diminution in his candles, and having detec? ted thirteen Cossacks in the act of stealing them, be ad opted a novel method of caring their thieving propensity. At nightfall the Cossacks were ranged in front of the General's tent, stripped stark naked, compelled to Btand erect, with their heads thrown back, and obliged to nae their months for candlesticks. By the glare of the lighted candles ao held, tho General and his staff indulged in their grog, and tbe whole army was permitted to see the ludicrous sight and chaff the poor can? dlesticks. -Count de Chats mvillard, who baa Jost died in Paris, was, in his day, one of the most brilliant men and dashing equestrians of France. It was ho wno one div rode ap the steps of the Jockey Club (then at the cornel of the Rae Drotiot and Boulevard) *hvl played a gamo of billiards on horseback. Be rodo for some time a most vicious horse. A friend said:'Tlyou ride thal horse three months longer, I'll bet be kills you." The Count re? plied: "What do you bet?" ^Twenty-five thousand francs." "Taaeo." The Count felt io honor bound to bis friend to ride tbe horse every day. and the boree showed himself to be so very vicions thal the Count had his coola made and sent home, for be was ?ure be would require it before long. His wife i who bad long been oxtremely auetsy lest his horse should kill him.) seeing ber husband look upon tho horse as dangerous, as she herself considered him, no sooner saw the coffra p'ace J in her hus - baud's dressing room, than sbe went to the stable armed with a pair of pistols and shot the dangerous steed through the head. On one occisi?n the Count was asked by a friend, a marquise, to see ber to ber carriage. They were at a ball. Going down stairs somebody trod on ber dress and tore it. She asked for a pin. The Count took from his scarf a diamond pin worth $600 and presented to ber. Sbe de? clined, saying : ''Oh, Count, it is entirely too valuable." "Is that the only objection to the piu?" "Certainly." This wcrd was no sooner out of the Marquise's mouth than he broke off tho diamond, threw it out of the neighboring window, and gave the golden pin to her. -Duels between students at German Uni? versities are generally fought with swords, and rarely hive a fatal termination. Sometimes, however, pistols are chosen for tile weapons, and the combat assumes a more ^feadly char? acter, i he last duel which took place resulted in the death of one of tbe participants and cre? ated proat excitement in the vicinity. The cor? respondent of a New York paper gires the fol? lowing particulars of the affiir. He says : A number of Leipsic students of the corps of tho '"Wcstfilou" wera sitting iu tho'Cafo lure, together with auothcr stud J it, Grossmann, cf Wiesbaden, who did not baloag to their Dum? ber, whrn a number of st aden ts-whose names aro Count < .cokers, Pr;oco von Bontueim and You Gableuz-returning from a din? ner, entered the room, tba latter (Von Oablenz) unwittingly stumbled against a member of tho "Westfalen." Upon the chal? lenge of the latter, Voi Gableuz immediately begged pardon, but Grossmann, notwithstand? ing, suddenly sprang from his Beat and gave Yon Oalileuz a box on the car. Yon Gablenz and his companions then returned the assault in a -initiai manuer, and the members of the '.Westfalen'- and Grossmann were quickly put out ol the place, after the latter, however, bad boou first challenged by Prince von Bentheim and Count Beckers to a sword duel, and by You Giblcnz, who cannot fenco, to a duel with pisto a. rho latter was accepted and on thc morning of the lit or July the duel took place on the beautiful Rosenthal, near Leipsic. At tho first fire. Grossmann, who is a perf :ct novice at shooting, wa- wounded iu tho fool. Tho seconds tho.i attempted to briug about a rc cor.c'?t?on, a-id Von Gablenz declared himself ready to withdraw his challenge if Grossminn w u!d apologias for the insu't given, 'ibis Grossmann rcfj-ed lo do, and at the second fire You Gablenz received a siiot from Gross mmn iu the brain, aud immediately fell to the eround uticoi. ::ru:.

Tba blind man said, with the utmost oo!nes3, ? That is quite pos ible; I have not looked at the cash ye: ; and if there is a mistake, nothing is easier thaa to rectify il." He rang a bell, which was answered by tbe maid. "Ask II. Ernest," be said, "if io tbe receipts or this morning be bas found a piece of forty francs." The piece was there; the maid fetched it, and, at the bidding of her master, presented it on a tray of Chinese lac to his visitor. The visitor pounced upon bis coin, and without more ado proceeded to take leave. "Pardon, sir," said the blind man; "yon forget something-chere are t TO sous to return me." THE COKLNQ SOLAR ECLIPSE. Interesting Particular?. The solar eclipse of Saturday next will be total along a narrow track ot only about one hundred and forty miles wide, extending in a southeasterly direction, and more than six thousand miles long. It begios in Siberia, where it takes a northeasterly course till it croasses a little south of Behrings Straits, after whioh it turns its course southeasterly, traversing portions of Alaska, thence into British America, and through Montana. Dako? tan, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, In? diana, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Ci roi i na, ending in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of the last-mentioned State. In most parts of the United Bta.es the observa? tion will only cover five-sixths of tbe son's disc. It will be only par.ial in Charleston, and will continue from five o'clock until a few min? utes before seven o'clock P. M. It is said by Washington astronomers that '.no total eclipse of the sun has been visible in aoy considerable portion of this country since 1834. and none will be visible after this year during the present ceotury." Ia tbese times the aslromers, instead of waiting patiently at their observations for the eclipso to approach them, which it may do ii the course of centu? ries, have acquired the habit of taking their observations to the central line of the echpse. Ou this occasion scientific parties will RO to various points along the hne, some sent by the United States Government and some by pri? vate enterprises, to study interesting problems relative to the sun's physical constitution. To those who are able to visit the line, or within the limits of visibility of the total phase, it will be a spectacle, if the sky is clear, worth travelling a great distance to behold. The Riverside Magazine for August bas for a leading illustration a tinted representation of the ap? pearance of the earth and sky at the time of the total obscuration. From the letter-press description we take the following sketch of j this most wonderful sight : r'or the convenience of snob of onr readers as live wiibiu tbe be. t of country referred to on the fourth page of this number, where will be witnessed on the 7th instant, the total eclipse of the sun, we give a short description of'be phenomena to be expected. Perbans some may have sufficient presence of mind to make brief notes of what they see. If so, wo shall be happy to receive tbe resal's of Bach obser? vations tor comp tn son, and possible publica? tion in a future number. As regards tbe ap? pearances under the heads tbtec and five, a spy-glass or email telescope will be necessary to reveal them to satisfaction. 1. When the sun is more than three-fourths hidden by the dark d ec of the moon, a per? ceptible gloom is thrown ou the land cape around. Soon alter tho sky appears to de see, ?d, the horizon to contract, the temperature ol the air falls, birds cease their sloe lng, flow? ers close, an unearthly greenish and reddish light is imparted to portions of the sky, a sud? den darkness eusues and everything wears a mysterious and gloomy aspect. 2. Immediately before the last trace of the sun's disc disappears, the a vful shadow of the moou in tho air.may he detected rapidly approaching fi om tho west like a dark column or sornbrp cloud. To witness this impressive sight care must be exercised, lest, in the ex? citement of the moment, thc- swiftly approach? ing Bindow be unheeded. 3. The last thread of light from tho sun's diae s. metimos appears to separate into little grains or beads b.-fore us total disappearance. This phenomena has received tho name of "Baily Beads." trom the noted astronomer who first witnessed it. i. Instantly on the extinction of the Bun will be soon the graudest feature of tho eclipse the corona, or crown of light, issuing on all sides apparently from the purple-black disc of the moon, though in reality fio n tho sun. lt is tho atmosphere of the son rendered visible by tbe absonce of tho overpowering sunlight. As the light is dazzlingly whito, a picea of j smoked glass will enable y ou to survey it with? out the inconvcnio'ice which might otherwise arise. 5. In tho corona, and ?.-sumer also apparent? ly from the dark moon, there will appear seve? ro) rose-colored flames projecting beyond the gloomy disc, perhaps a lentil of the diameter of the moon. They, too, belong to tbe sun. and are demonstrated by the spectroscope to ba mc4nd scent hydrogen. With every eclipse they vary in size, bum brr, shape, position and depth of color. G. Planets ind larg-' stirs aro o'tea noted duting total eclipses by those who have previ? ously studied their positions oi a celeeMal map. As the darkness hardly exceeds that of a moonlight night, they are uot always readily found in 'he two or three ron utes of gloom that attend the entire i?bscaratiou ot tho sun. By a little study of the map at tho commence? ment of this number ono may b" ablo to re? cognize the mos: cons; icuous planets and stars lint will be visibio. When tho PU ti reappe ars the phenomenon of Daily's Bends shou.d be again looked for this time on the right side of the moon's disc. The awfiilshtd >w will attorwards he seen sail? ing rapidly away in the air to tho < astward Then follow tlie changes of color in the sky and landscape tho rising oi ibo thermometer and a ronera I awakening of nature, and tho wonderful exhibition is over.

They tee! satisfied that lt would be a use? less expenditure of money to repair a hand engine at this time, especially when steam takes precedence over that which requires manual labor. Tho engine now In use has been in active service tor over twelve year". In conxideration of the above ?tated facts, tb?y bava resolved to purchase a substantial steamer, locateil in one of tbe largest snd wealthiest warda or the city, Ward No. 4 They feel confident that the services of such a steamer would be much more re? quisite than a hand engine in times of conflagration, and for th t purpose the j have concluded to appeal to our cltlzons for std to carry out their planr. It has been a long Mme since this company has called upon the public for assistance, from the very fact, that at the Mme they procured tbe present eugine, more than one-half the amount wis taken from Its treasury to mate the purchase. ihe io.losing Committee have been appointed to canvass the various Words ot the city to solicit s ib Fcrlptions from such of our citizens a- appreciate the cervices of men who risk their lives In attempt? ing to save property without receiving any personal benefit whatever, savo tbs satisfaction of knowing that they are employed In doing good for their fellow creatures iu tjme of emergency: B.
