[Correspondence New York Tribune.] WASHINGTON, GA., June 3. Rober! Toemos, ex-senator ot the United States, and ex-general in the rebel army, is looked upon as the leader of that portion ol' the Democratic party in Georgia that has ac? cepted some of the results of the war;" the leader of those who carefully keep ?Hve all \ the animosities af the struggle and sedulously teach biller and rebellious sentiments to their children. General "JJoombs occasionally de? livers a lecture that he has prepared upon Magna Charts, which is in reality a violent stump-speech In favor of the right of seces? sion, and agaTn&t the constitutional ?mejid ments and the reconstruction laws. This 19 the way he concludes his lecture, as described by an Augusta paper: "With his body bent slightly forward, his eye blazing, his hand raised aloft, graaping-a copy ot Magna Charta, be exclaimed, when you can tear the live thunder from its borne In the norning ether, and bind lt at the foot-stool cf tyranny, then, and not'till then, willi accept the situation." I thought it was worth making a. special Journey to see the man who could talk like this six years alter the end of the war. I was-I curious to know what object ire had in Irvine to revive the fast-dying spirit of rebellion, ana whether he still expected, as of old, to?one day call the roH of his slaves at the foot of j Bunker HUI Monument fa reach this place - one comes out on the Georgia Railroad three hours travel from Augusta, and alter walting three hours more at a way station, takes a train on a branch road that runs twenty miles north from Washington. The conductor Of the 7 train on this branch road appeared to be also mall agent, baggage-master and brakf&ac, and, besides these various official functions, he informed me that he made a practice of | laking in strangers at a moderate price. Har? ing arrived at the depot, like ad Southern railway stall orrs odorous of guano,' and cross? ed the public eqiiajra, the'con dud or pointed out a stalwart man with a very large head, in? forming me that lt waa General Toomba. Al? ter I had divested myself. ot travelling gear, in the litt le one story cot tape ol my host, I went back and Introduced myself to the e<sseraj. He shook hands with me and Bald, "Well, you have come td the headquarters 'of the Eu Klux Let me make you acquainted.with the Gland Cyclops," presenting rn? to a pleas- ; ant-faced man in a linen coat, hav? ing a Ger.map, "-physiognomy. ? i remark? ed tbat nothing in the gentleman's appearance indicated that he waa ?the ouaef of iLe. Klan. "Ouv be's aa mild a'man uefvd man as ?ver scuUled ship oe cot a - throat," tue.srenenU replied, "But, serloQBly, this To wn le Ku-Klux headquarters. ; I carried this comity for 'secession , in ,W61 with tfnry seven votes JIgainst me, and now there Isn't a bingle white JLidicil living in thia county. Were. ito use for them here." The general said that if I would walk across the square to his office te' would. ic<a- tne. soon.1 lound In the office ..General Du Bose, member ol' Con frees from thia district, and son-in-law ot Gen. oomoo. He tokl mo how, through the activi? ty of the white people, and the '?moral influ? ence" they brought to bear, neatly all the ne? groes in the county had been induced to vote for him at tho late election. He waa quite positive that there- baQ been no intimidation ot threats of discbarge irotn employment used to make the negroes desert the Republican party. He said Ute Radical Legislature had changed the election law and provided that alt Ute votiog in each county should be done at Lue county seat; and that the election shduld last three day6; the idea being .that if tlfe'ne groes were arl collected together they would be led.by a. few "smart niggers" living in the country towns, md would vote solid for the Radical ticket but the scheme did not work. In a few minutes "General Toombs came lu. and soon commenced lo talk politics. I told bim that he was understood to r'epreeent the most ultra wing of the Democratic party in Georgia, aud thal I was desirous of learning his views upon political questions. "Yes," he said, "I ara one ol the red-hot kind." "What do you -think ot the new deparnfeaot the North? ern Democracy, as expounded by Vallandl gham andthePennsylrania"Convention? Shall you support il ? "Ne ver.. I would sooner vote tor Horace Greeley than for any Demo? crat upon such a platform, Greeley and ihe Republicans first got lt up; lt's their patent, and I have more- respect for ibera than for such scoundrels as Vallandleham, who wants to steal their ideas," Mr. Toomba spoke at some length in this style, decariug flnajly that the people of the South could never he brought to aocept the constitutional amend? ments as -finalities and that it the Democratic party took that ground ihev would have noth? ing to do with that party. ' "What do you lo?le for ward, lo in the future ?" I asked; "how can you escape the results of ihe war ?" "We will tight you again justas soon'as we can get ready,"" be answered; "aud I believe we can get ready much sooner than most people j think." "Iou cannot serious'/ believe that the Sooth. will attempt anoth? er war?" "I certainly do, and' L believe that I shall live to see Southern inde? pendence. Many of our people are losiug the . hope that they will see 'ShHdh' in their day, - but the"y.are training their Children up to take up the work." General Toomba talked in the most filter way against the Republican party, which he denounced as composed'of thieves, robbers and prison convicts. - There is not an li ones t man In ihe Radleal party in Georgia," he said ile accused ihe Northern Repuplicat s of sending down the-worsticind of r?scala ta plunder aud oppress tbe South. He maintain? ed that this class of men were purposely se? lected to abuse and impoverish the Southern people. He would not admit that ihe Repub? lican-party as a national organisation had any honesty or patrio liam, and the hard names he called ft, and the "Bibs with which ne charged it, would fill a column. I asked if be thought any considerable mininer of men to Georgia agreed with him in desiring a renewal of the War, and in still honing fur Southern indepen? dence. "Two-thirds ol'ali the white men in this Slate and in all the South are.of Ulis way of thinking,". he replied; "and if you wll^go into the country among the planters1 you will find what I say is true. La the large towns the editors and business men talk differently but they know nothing of the sentiments o'f tbe people." Eater in the conversation General Toombs spoke of true civilization of the South as pom pared wit& that of the North and of Europe. He had travelled, he said, over much ot the world, and had seen no higher civilization than that of Virginia and Georgia. The civi? lization of the worth was far below it. He thought the agricultural population of New FDgland Ihe poorest class of people he had ever seen I replied that the agricultural people of Georgia and South Caroliua were the poorest people I had ever seen, and thereupon a discussion arose as to what constituted a high degree ot civilization, tbe general de? claring that it did not consist in packing peo? ple together as thick as ho-s in a pen, which, he said, was the Northern Idea. He thought a thinly settled country, wdiere people bad room'enough and did not interfere with each other, and where the laboring class was own? ed or controlled by the land-holders, was the highest type ol* modern civiiiiuion. I chang- j ed the subject, and asked ir lu thought Immi? gration desirable for tbe South ? "Nb," he re? plied, "we don't want Northern men to come here; let them stayathome where they belong. This ls our country, and we want to keep it for ourselves and our children. If people who call themselves"our conquerors Insist on coming here against .our wishes, they need expect no welcome from us. We will have uothlng to do with them." General Toomba spoke with great bitterness ol the reconstruction acts and constitutional amendments. The party lhat passed them were liars, he said, for they, pretended to be? lieve In self-government, and at the same time would not give the 8outh any liberty to regu? late her own affairs, but mied her first by mili? tary officers and then by a horde ot ?Nosthern thieves, sent down here to hold the offices and ty<uinize over tho people. "Why can't jon' h-t us alone ?" ne went on excitedly. "If your idea of government is not a He, stay away and let ns manage our"own affairs. We dont want to have anything to do with you. Wa.-had.the satisfaction of'killing more than 200,000 of you, and if my advice had been followed the war would not have ended until we-.had killed more." Once upon the subject of war, he went on to argue the right of secession, to de? nounce the North, and to call the'Unlon army a horde of mercenaries, marauders and thieves. It was clear that the war had taught him no lesson, and that, his feelings, were as bitter as when the contest was at its height. He Anally got upon.lhe subject of the present State Government of Georgia. Gov. Bullock, he 3'aid. bad stolen $10,000,000 from the State for* himself and his friends. The bonds the Radicals had Issued would never be paid. It amused him lp seethe Wall street bankers buying them at 80-%r 90 cents on the dollar, when they .were not worth a c pper. No man here would give a dime for a Cashel of them. He hoped Bullock would forge a lot of them, add give the New York Yankees all they would take at any price. It was & way of foragihg en the enemy that he liked to see. Not a dol? lar ol the debt contracted since the war would ever be paid. He gave an entertaining de? scription ot the character and antecedents of the prominent Radicals in the State, and would not admit that there was a decent man among them all. Most of the members of the Legis? lature, he said, never ventured to go back te the counties they pretended to represent, 1er they knew the -peocie would, hang them if they did. The two members from the nelghBoring S?linty of Lincoln had never been there since ey were elected, in 18G8. AB regards negro suffrage, that he thought an unmixed evil. A great lump ol ignorance and vice had been made part of the governing class. He said vice because- the negroes were all thieves. They were like animals, and would steal anything they Baw that they want? ed, as " naturally as a hog would break into a potato-field or-' a dog. would seize a piece ol meat. He did not think an intelligent qualifi? cation for suffrage would remedy the evil. Reading and writing did not fit a :aan for voting. The Paris mob were intelligent, but they were the most daogerous class in the world to be (rusted with any ol the powers of government. A property qualification was what was necessary for a stable government. Only those who owned the 'country shuuld govern lt, and. men who had no property had np right to make laws for property-hold? ers. He said there was no harm in the negroes voting as long as the whites ali belonged to one party, but the danger he .eared was that the whites would eventually divide into two pa; ties on State issues, and feat a party would be formed composed of the lpwer classes of white men-the dangerous, ir? responsible element-and that the negroes, by natural affinity, would join that party which would then be in the majority, and being able to control the Slate, would then attack toe In? terests ol' the landed proprietors. The Radi? cals have been greatly mistaken in counting upon the negroes as tbe basis ol their party. ..The negroes, now ibat they are satisfied there is no danger of being re enslaved, will vote Just as their employers tell theta. They can't afford to do anything else. They are at? tached to their old homes, and have no money with which to move and find new ones, and they will not risk being discharged by voting against the planters who hire them." Two thlrds.of the negroes in this county voted with the Democrats last fall, he said. I asked if, when the golden age of Southern independence came, which ne so confidently expected, the blacks would be reduced to al a vex v again. He thought; not, and - aid that slavery would have gradually died oat if se? cession had been successful, oecanse lt would soon have ceased to be profitable. Only In colton culture did slave labor pay. because colton is a crop that must be worked 365 day in a year. Corn requires but 40 days' labor and wheat but 20; so there was no profit in feeding a man and his family a whole year lo get lils labor to raise corn or wheat. " There never was any question of morals connected with slavery, he said; it was only a matter or profit or loss. I was glad lo find that, on Hi's question, General Toomhs had made some pro? gress in his opinions during the past ten years, and that he no longer exports to have that roi! util at the foot of the monument. General Toomba.characterized the Kii-Klux as the natural protest; ot an oppressed people against tyranny. Madame De Stael, he said hud described the Russian Government as i despotism tempered by assassination. . Al though he did not say so in explicit terms, he let lt be clearly inferred that he consider ed the reconstructed governments of the Southern States as despotisms tempered by Ku-Kluxism. Tbe conversation lasted an hour, and was much ot the time a discussion which I consid? ered more acrimonious than courteous on the part of General Toombs. as he was the aggres? sor and assailed the. Northern people, their habits, customs, ancestors and character with extreme violence. Halfan hour afterward we paned. While strolliBg about the town 1 met him on his way. home, and lie cordially invited me to take tea with him. somewhat'to my sur Erlse. We walked up a narrow.street bordered y handsome white houses, with pretty door? yards, and turned into a lovely tarden tilled with roses in bloom and- many 'varieties of blossoming shrubs and ornamental trees, through which a long path led up the high pillared piazza of a fine house. He presented me to his family in a pleasant room, filled with pictures, oooks, and other objects ol taste. I j Once at home the manner ol Lhe general chang? ed at once, and instead qf. the Ditter political partisan be became tlie genial host, and talked in the most entertaining manner of his | travels abroad, of his residence in Paris, | of english -politics and statesmen, and | of the future of the continental nations. | Speaking of home affairs he said that | all of his old slaves came back to him when he returned from Europe lu 1867,'and that his coachman was the "Same man who drove his carriage' when he was a senator at Washing? ton, and that th? man's grandfather was his ?*randla;her's coachman. An hour passed In 11 the most agreeable manner, and wheo I took P my leave 1 should have concluded that lhe general had, in our first conversation, amused himself by astonishing me with extreme views he did not really eutertain, had I not heard I rom many sources of his violent reactionary opinions. He is a man of striking personal appearance. He is six ieet lo-heighr, with a poweriul' frame, a head somewhat reserntlihg that of Daniel Webster, In its unusual size and in the great heighth and breadth of the for?-" head. He is a rapid and brilliant talker, and has a memory that seems ta lose noUiing.that he has ever seen, heard cr read. JEQs Know? ledge of history is especially thorough, particu? larly of aft the efforts and struggles for liberty thafthe world has ever known-*-:he most glo? rious of all these struggles being, in his opinion, the Southern rebellion. He is a man that lt is easy to see would be a leader wher? ever he might be placed, and his influence lu Georgia is admitted to be great. A HUMAN HOLOCAUST. \ ' SAX FRANCISCO, June ?3.

[Cjrresr>ondence of "flie New York Sun.] COLUMBIA, May 2C. Among the most popular of Southern atonee ments ls that of cock-fighting. What tho Je? rome Park and Fleetwood races are to the peo? ple of New York, a first-class cocking main rs to the people ol South Carolina. During the session of the Taxpayers' Convention, two weeks ago, a splendid chicken contest tjbok plsice here, and to a disrnterested observer It seemed a question as io which excited the most Interest, the convention or tbe. co^S fights. Both were well attended, but it was unnoticea? ble fact that nearly every day the- adjourn? ments ot the former were governed to a cer? tain extent by the hours" appointed for the latter. It was a State affairs this cocking main, and hence all lrom, the highest to the lowest in the social scale felt interested. Thousands of dollars were at stake fry the main alone, and as the disputing chickens were among the very best in South Carolina, their little wrangling attracted everybody from Tar and wide. There were ex-govejuors in attendance, ex-Confederate generali,lent the lustre of their glory to the scene, and ev?n certain members of the immaculate Legislature did not consider lt beneath their dignity to witness the sport. Nominally THU GREAT CHICKEN FIGHT , . wai confine^ to localities; that ?Is, iii? main' was between- Edgafield County, S. C., and Augusta, Ga., on the one side, and Newberry County and the City of Colombia on the other. There*were numerous "hack tight:'," or side issues, however, that lent additional interest to the sport, and upon which nfore money was lost and won than ra the rrialn Itself. Seven? teen cocks entered the main prefer. 'The slake was the chameloinshlp of South Carolina and two thousand dollars. Ttfe main waa so divided as to occupy three days 'in the tight - log, and Hie fighting so divided with the ac? companying hack tigiiis'as lo make each a uiag nrflceat day's sport. f / .The fight-beg m on lhe 11th inst. THE TIB8T DAY'S 8P0RT WAS well attended by both delegates to the convention and members of the Legislature. Of course your correspondent was present, not only en this day, but on all the others. Tbe place Where this chicken engagement wa3'fought is on the-niara street in the rear of the lot owned by Mr. Franklin.' It eous'ujfa ot' a circular wooden-platform well covered with sawdust,-and surrounded with seats elevated one above ike- other ae in an amphitheatre. These of course are flor the spectators.-' The lot or yard m which the lestlvltles took .place is nearly square. On one side is the rear ol Franklin's bouse; on another are located the housea of the ornithological gladiators, to which nene but the most favored .san get ac? cess. These game chickens are kepi as re? ligiously from the unappreciative gaze ot the people as thou un they wera precious stones. On a third sloe of the square were located booths, in which were sundry and divers little games lo amuse arra Insiruct the ?udleu e be? tween heats. There, was first a drinking booth, over whose counter pouted a fluid a few drops of which would eat a hole through a car-wheel. Then there was a roulette wheel with its "eagil bird,'' a sweat-cloth, a chuck-a-luck board, aud' another device known as "U. 1$ A." These adi did wellexceptthe roulette man.- He was cleaned om by .a Charleslon reporter, and lelt the ground very morose, so to speak. There.were about firry OF THE FINEST (?AME DOCKS l ever caw en the spot to take part- They wer? about equally divided between trie two patties, and, ot course, were kept apart- in separate buildings nuder double . lick. .Thc first day's proceedings were rather tame, no? body being present but those interested, to? gether with u few sporting characters, who attended for the purpose of betling. Ttlere were three- fights in the main-, besides two hade flghls I never before bad SO lively un appreciation of the hackneyed phrase, "fight lug to the death,'' as I- had after witnessing 3ne o#the8% encounters. Brutal and demor? alizing as is Hie sport, lhere is ye't something to ne learned from the eagerness, the unflinch? ing tenacity and indomitable pluck wiih wmch the leathered bipeds assail each other. They literally go in perfectly reckless oe lo jonseqnences, and finally, when both are*ex? hausted, they He ?down to rest, only to re? new the assault, and continue lt till "one or heother yields up' the ghost. I don't know low it is with game cocks generally, but the Jouth Carolina breed never mn. There.w*re iver forty fights In-this carnlv U. yet frai a r?icken but that was willing to die first, and .he battles were invariably broughtio a close jy the death of one,ond In one or two in? stances of both the contestants. This sneaks ?veil ol lhe breed and of their trainers. There were many very funny incidents at this singu f' affair, and il would tax the - powers ol a iter chronicler than myself to take note of .hem all. Of course in tue fiirhtlog there- was .mich sameness. Chickens fight alike wlieu .hey fight at alL,-the only variety being In lhe iuration ol lhe combat. One ol' these fights vas ended in ten minutes, while two Chickens Jn ano titer Cay'. -. FOUUUT TWO HOURS AND A HALF . lefore one succeeded In striking a vital.pert n the body of his. adversary.

The 1 Taxpayers' Convention adjourned at an early 1 nour and its members came pouring in. There (vere present on this day General Martin With- ' erspoon Gaey, ol' Edgeileld, the great lawyer : ind ex-cavalryman, the George A. Custer ol 1 the South, and the only man in the Confede- ! rate army who didn't surrender; the Hon. Juo. 1 B. Dennis, the Hon. John H. Hubbard, chief i constable ol' the 8tate; General A. H. Bacon, . Lhe Ten Broeck ol South Carolina; the Hon. A. 1 G. Worthington, ex^United States Minister to lhe Argentine?Republic, and next to General 1 Hary the handsomest man.in the State; the ; Hon.

Daniel Joseph Kirwan, author of the 1 trreat work "Palace and Hovel;"' Major-Gene- ' ral Win. Gurney, late of the United States Armjy und hosts of others equally dlsiicguish ed, from all parts of the Stat,e. Among them I were.many colored citizens and officials, mern- i bers of lhe 'Legislature, of the Senate, of the i judiciary, of the bar, and from the Executive D?partnwnt of th? Slate. Besides these wpre county officers, con6lables, sheriffs, policemen on duty, sports, gamblers, blacklegs and 1 thieves. All classes were represented, and all ; enjoyed the sport immensely. Thousands ot dollars changed hands on this day alone, one ! man making on the result Of one fight over S400O. There were three or fonr rattling fights'. One of them-and lt was expected this would be the tight ol the day-had rather a sudden termination. Two cocks, represent? ing Edgefield and Newberry, were put in the pit. They came, together LIKE TWO BAOS OF FEATHERS, and pecked and struck at each other at amost furious rate. The Edgefield cock was a trim built, brown-plumaged bird, weighing about four pouuds. He had his legs trimmed clean of Heathers up to the thighs, and steel gaffs two inches loug were made fast to his heels. The other fowl looked something like the one Inst described, but was heavier. Both crowed most v?ciierously as the handleis sat them down in the ring. They seemed afier the fight commenced like two infuriated feather ed demons, BO fiercely did Urey go at each other. Itwaaof but short duration, "however, for the- Edgefleld bird, burst a blood vessel, a nd commenced throwing up the crimson tide from his throat in a great black stream. He fought, however, to the very last, and his ex Siring kick was a strike at the enemy's head." ewberry was, ot course, declared the victor, and now Newberry was ahead in the malo. Sheriff Tom Paysinger was in ecstacles, and of? fered to bet ali he was worth (considerable,' by the wav) that Newberry and Columbia would win. f tuwe were no takers. UNCLE JOSEPH AT THE COCK F1GB?. . While the heelers were preparing the cocks for the next fight, I looked a'round the crowd for acquaintances. I hadn't long t? look. .Over in a Mud of an out-ofthe-way place, quietly observing the scene, sat a gentleman weil Known in South Carolina, .tie was a smooth-?aced man of about sixty. He had on a .pair .of yellow nankeen trbWtserB reaching about half-way dowa from his knees; a swaT loviail coat ol" blue cloth with brass <buttons, a buff vest, and pink neck-tie. He a%> wore a ruffle shirt and silk Blockings. Upon hh* head rested a broad brimmed panama hatband upon his feet were lew-quartered shoes. Hfs I browsers. were cut very wide and were pre-1 ver..<jd.from slipping above his knees by straps. Th? old gentleman's face wore a sweet and .placiu Bmlle. I took a second look and at efface recognized him. It was TAcle Joseph Crews," the member from Laurens, and the ?realest 6oker-player in South Carollua. This was ucle Joseph's first appearance hr pub-' lie since ins .ofilcial. visit to the insane asylum.' Uncle Joseph jreceived a shook on that " occasion that came near ?ufitiTugi him for public duties, aud since then he lias remained in a stale oi ?eclosi?n, it seems that Huele Joseph is chairman pi the' board of regents ol the insane Asylum. The board conelats of nine negro members of the. Legis? lature and Uncle Joseph. ..Two or turee weeks ago the board wenl ou .ils anaual tour of- in? spection', with its president, Uncle Joseph, at I Hs head. Uncle Joseph marched his negro co? adjutors into the Asylum grounds, aud led the way to Dr. Ensdr's orflce. Un the way he was \ saluted by Mr. C-, an inmate ot the insti? tution. Now, Mr. C-is a very intelligent I gentleman Indeed. His present misiortitue ls I ihe result of too much brain work. Mr. C knew Uncle Joseph years ago, losg be lore he (Mr. C. J became Insane or Uncle Jo-1 sepb became -a great statesman, He kuew L'ncre Joseph's -business then, and of course I bis disordered intellect ls unable le grasp the { luci, that Uncle Joseph has abandoned his sin- j lui and. wicked pursuits and become a high toned, and strictly virtuous politicianv "Good morning, Mr. Crews," said Mr. C-, advancing. "Good moiiuag, Mr. ?-," responded Uncle Joseph, -aa he extended his hand and soaifed moatf weelly.-"* -. ""*" I "it is a very Hue morning, Mr. Crews," said | Mr. G-r. "Very fine indeed, Blr," smiled Uncle Jos-1 ej?b. I "Is there to be a sale to-day, Mr. Crews-?" ] asked Mr. C-. Now, Unde Joseph did not understand this ! question, but he suddenly recollected that Mr. 0-- was insane, so he did not nuilee lt. Here Mr. C ? .; i looked very inftently-al the I board of regents. He took bold -of their arms [ and limbs, and lek ol them all ovar, wliiob, cd-' I course, not one ol the. board noticed, kui)wing j ihe uulorlunate man'? condition. He ones-1 Honed then! 'closely as to their" age?, health, I condition In life, us to the family, where (hey I had formerly lived, and indeed beh?veoY as I the board (bought, In a very singular manner, j He then reapnroached Uncle Josepb. **Wel], Mr. Crews," said he, "I must say that I never before saw you with so likely a j, lpt ol niggers. They certainly ought to bring good prices.. I have seen you, Mr. Crews, take some ol Ihe meanest-looking nig? gers to the auction block that' ever were sold inthe South. [Great consternation "on the part of the entire board.] I am glad to see, Mr. Crews, that you are picking up a belier Block. Nowv tnese are really ?ae-looking niggers. They are well dressed, and they look happy aud contented. Very different, Mr. Crews, from those you used to sell down there on the Broad Rivera Do you remember, I Mr. Crewe,'the time when you sold a nigger tnat bad the small pox to old Uncle_. ? " . ..'Great God ! what are you talking about main ?" shouted Uncle Joseph, unable to aland lt ai?y longer. "Let us go, I say," as Mr. C-grasped his hand as ir lo detain him. ??Dou't you Bee lhat we are the board of re? gents come lo visit the 'Sylum?" And all at once ihe shattered mind of Mr. I G- seemed to gather itself up and under-1 stand that the good old days to which he bod so pleasantly alluded were numbered among the .past.. With a peculiar look at the disgust ed regents, be turued on his heel and walked sorrowfully and mournfully away. Uncle Jo? seph was angry. For the first lime in his lite, lt is said, his lace lost its sweet expression I itnd became clouded. When he greeted^ Dr. Ensor, be did lt with so unusual a manner Lbat the doctor thought Uncle Joseph had made a heavy lou at pu ker, and he questioned aim about it; but Uncle*Joseph denied tbat ho I dud lost anything at poker, and soon his.lace resumed its wonted smile. But the story came iut and then Uncle Joseph went In.' He did aol come into the street again for several I lays, and his appearance at tbe chicken fight I was a matter of wonder lo all. Uncle Joseph Is V?RY FOND OP COOK-FIQHTrXO. He trunks that next to poker lt ia one-ol tbe most elevating amusements of the Southern aristocracy. He was very much Interested.;u .me of the hack fights that took place, and mid that the meanest looking cock ol' the two would be sure to win. When asked bis reason for having such an opinion, be said tjtat it wasn't always tho best-looking cock tbat wins lb* tight. He said cock-Ugluing woatnthis respect like politics; ihe meanest and most ill- I favored lu politics always come out first best, ind he believed it was so In Cock-rlghlliig! I Uncle Joseph .?aid lie had a very fine game nock in Laurens that he Intended bringing down, but he didn't have time to go lor it Lhen. When Uncle Joseph said this several mung men. who looked as if thev might be? long to the Ku Klux laughed oui loud. They L-videiitlv thought that Uncle Joseph was ii'raia to go to Laurens. /THE"HANDtKRS. But the most laughable leature ol these chicken fights was the air wiih which the han? dlers performed their duties. Those duties ave analogous lo those performed by .bottle-hold? ers at a prize fight. At the end of each round each man gathered up his chicken, Ptroked his \ leathers, and dexterously sltpplrig his hand nader the fowl between his legs, sac him ddwn directly opposite .tu and within a few feet ol I his adversary. Together they take' their hands away, -and thea the ulrde By at each other, lhere is nothing particularly amusing in this, hut the way in which they do it Is killing. ' Both Hie handlers at these fights were old men. One ol ihem had a long white' beard, and his lace was a Bludy for a painter. Never a smile sroased it during the whole three days' tournament. To look at him as he went I about bis duty you would have thought the. late of empires'depended upon the skill with which he executed his task He saw nothing u.a fight but the chicken he was in attendance apon; and all through his countenance was as immovable aa that of a statue. The contrast between the stolidity and equipoise ol these handlers, and the spectacle of two roosters with their heels and- feathers Hying, was enough io excite a smile on the lace ol'an an? chorite. THE TOURNAMENT ENDED with the third day's snort. Newberry and Co? bla were victorious. More limn $20,000 chang? ed hands on the r?duit, besides tiie large sums lost and won on individual fights.

The Washington Treaty In Parliament. .LONDON, June 12. In the Commons, Gladstone, replying to a question, said the sixth article ofthe Treaty of Washington prohibits the use of neutral ports tor renewal or augmentation of aram and sup? plies to belligerents only when exportecMn the ordinary course' ol commerce. This, he said, was the understanding on the part of President Grant and Minister Scbenck. It was understood, however, that on presenta? tion ofthe ndefor.acceplance by other powers, that a statement on this point should be clear. Gladstone stated ho had received the assent of the UuHed States Government to a proposal to submit three principles of the treaty td European powers for their acceptance. He believed the prospective advantage lo Bnglaud would ic immense. He concluded by praising the tone of America throughout the uegotia-. lions.. In the House cf Lords. Russell,^ moving an address to the Crown against ratification of the Treaty or Washington, unless arbitrators were bound only by International and British laws existing at the time of the American war, argued thal otherwise England might apply one rule and America another, aud aroitrotors el i li another. The treaty win be demanded tp secure peace, but it was a dangerous precedent, ana an unwise neglect of duty of Great Britain lo her American colonies, whose fl/uery interests were sacrificed, for lae treaty'was one-sided even about fisheries. He asserted that Great Britain had observed ali obligations o? neu? trality .during the wac, aud quoted front the Bjue Books to prove his assertion, and scout? ed the idea of negligence ou the part ot Hie government. In conclusion, he said the treaty sacrificed English prestige; il sacrificed all lor peace. Granville said be accepted the discussion; but noi Russell's motion. He explained the circumstances attending the- negbliations of the treaty, and declared Ita terms honorable and advantageous for Canada; while, he 're? gretted the exclusion of. Canadian claims, growing out of Fenian Invasion, he could not help seeing that international gain was lncal. eulabie. Earl Derby hoped Russell would withdraw his moliou lor Hie rejection ol the treaty, which America would now take as a direct in? sult. He did not begrudge apology, but re? gretted ihe retrospection rule, because it put England on trial aller her admission of.regret for eyems under laws passed ten years after the events occurred. Personally, he accepted tbe treaty as an accomplished- laot, taking evil with good. He boped no pressure would be applied to Canada to interfere wibh the exer? cise ol her free will. "He rejoiced with every? body lhat thc irritating difference was ended. Earl de Grey and Ripon defended the trea? ty and the conduct of negotiations. He scouted the imputation of lamb-?ke meekness of British commissioners before the shearers. It is true they desired to conciliate the Ameri? cans, but nothing more. Several ol the pro? posals made cy the Americans had been per? sistently declined, although they were not preposterous. An apology for the escape of tlie Alabama made ihe conclusion of a good treaty possible. The settlement of neutrality questions was a vast gain, as neutrality was England's future policy. Omission ol any provision for reciprocity waa unimportant ip view ofthe progress free trade was making iu America. He defended the articles concern? ing the fisheries, on the ground'that Canada was really benefited by them. The Earl of Kenflbefly said Canada excited favor for the treaty.' Xord Cairns deprecated Russell's motion. The treaty was as binding now as- if it had been ratified, although it was badly drawn and obliged England'to submit to principles hither to unknown to the country. The Lord Chancellor sustained the treaty. The Marquis of Salisbury declared the treaty sacrificed the right- ol neutrals to American susceptibilities. The Duke of Argyle said England gained In acknowledgment of certain great rules or in? ternational law without making any sacrifice, Earl Bussell then withdrew his m ot ?OD. and the debate was bronght.to a close.

It JS therefore a matter of .some Importance that the Uui.ted States gov? ernment has been able to secure the roof of this building (rom the Equitable Life Assur? ance Company for the sue of a new 6ignal station and observatory. The roof ot this building is 130 feet above the sidewalk, which is'35 feet above high water, so that even at present the roof ls. 165 leet above, the sea level.

The-system of signals will be that of General Albert Meyer, the chiet of the-United fetatea Sigual Service, which has already been adopted by. several Euro? pean governments.
