The Conservatives all over the country are confident of tho result of the elec? tion. ' . t.i: ' London, March 15.?The Weekly Economist says it is rumored that Derby . .yields to tbe request of the Conservatives to undertake the formation of a Cabinet. The Spectator givos currency to the same report, bat says Derby has determined to appeal to the country. 3 F. M.?Disraed waited on the Qoeen, giving bor the reasons impelling him to decline office. Derby oonoara with Disraeli, that the Conservatives oannot aceept the responsibility of form? ing the Governmeut at this time. Paris, March 15.?A treaty haa been signed to the effect; that Franco will pay the last installment of tbe war indemnity on the 5th of September, when Germany will evacuate French territory, including Belfoaht.

Mr. Hunter, another member of that body, said the bill was passed by a House that had no quorum present, and that the Se? nate was .not. in session?when it pre? tended t? have passed that' measure. The Legislature has been in session four months, and no prospects of adjourn? ment before April.

' Shrewd Conneotiont yoaths avail them? selves of the provisions of the Stato liquor law to enjoy inexpensive sprees by refusing to pay for their drinks and threatening to prosecute the bar-keeper for selling liquor to minore. A lady from South Carolina, is attend? ing a oonrae of atudiee at Moore's busi? ness university in Atlanta. ..jtff?i ? fcmi . nwiimiiniji.'.um Hb ii grand oonspiraoy^jth? / darkest and dreadfulest of sU-WrJr tfai ivM of Lob, iaianaand other Gulf States, has been discovered. The detective patriot who announces the discovery proposes no measures for frustrating the hellish scheme of the conspirators. In fact, he tacitly assumes that there is no help for it. Thus the thing becomes a rioh and rare sensation for the unique school of modern epicureans which, for lack of. more vigorous and wholesome mental vegetation, baa grown up with alarming luxuriance in this part of tbe country. The adherents of this school, be it known, reverse the whole order, com? monly accepted heretofore by rational beings, of defining and estimating good and evil. The indulgence of a rational hope regarding the eventualities of the future is to them abominable. The ra? tional pursuit of happiness they remit to abject and groveling natures that are beyond the redeeming reach of a sub? lime epicurean propaganda. The very idea of making the most of existing cir? cumstances, with a view to the highest , attainable good by practicable expedi entfl, they hold in infinite abhorrence and loathing. Iu short, the future ia oheerlesB to them unleaa it is palled in I j the blaokest despair, and the present la never to their satisfaction exoept when I they oan turn its oiroumatanoes to the cultivation of a systematic and exquisite misery. Hence the delight with which they will gloat over the details of this last oonspirooy for the desolation , of I Louisiana and other Quit States. Those details have, besides, an intrinsic irra? tionality in happy accord with their me I thods of mental speculation. A ring of Northern money oligarchs, I we are told, have arranged to merge San Domiugo, Cuba and the rest of the West Indies, with Louisiana and other Gull States, in a oomm?n vortex of barbarism and impoverishment, for the immediate purpose of taming tho trade of the West and the Sooth Eastward through the Northern and Middle States. Having aooomplished this fiendish work, at the expense of $30,000,000, the nltimate object will then be developed. By expending another 930,000,000, the ring will buy up every important locali? ty, as a centre of trade or industry, in the South. They will secure the unli? mited aid of the National Government. Foreign immigration will oome in by millions to supplant the before domi? nant negro; and through au instantane? ous revival of trade, industry and every form of material oariohment and pros? perity, in this part of the world, they will make a olear profit of $500,000,000. Bat here is something too wonderful for an uninspired intellect to comprehend. It will take at least the period of one generation to get through with tbe first stage of the programme. In the course of nature, the ring will all be dead be foro the moment for makiug the pro? posed investment in a parcel of bankrupt States and desolated oitieB and districts will arrive. What personal interest, tbeu, oan the Northern money oligarchs referred to have iu tho exeoution of the oonspirooy? Not only this, but North? ern as well as European capitalists have splendid opportunities at this time for speculation, by buying np Southern pro? perties, promoting immigration into the Gulf States, and profiting by the mate? rial prosperity resulting from inoreased productiveness and expanding trade in the South-weBt and in the West Indies. Why should they wait uutil all the ele? ments of production and trado were an? nihilated, before turning their capital and enterprise this way? Capitalists who have not lost their reason ure not given to throwing away their money by first investing in a work of devastation, and then in the deserts whioh are mado. [New Orleans Times. Gkneral Grant's Duty.?Gen. Grant has just taken a fresh oath as President of the United States, and that includes the function of Commander-in-Chief of the army. I Iu hia second inaugural address ho de? scants at length, and with such force and emphasis as he ia capable of, on the ad? vantages of railroads and the utilization of steam. Now we have a railroad direot from Washington to New Orleaus. There is great trouble iu New Orleans, and a fair chsuce for hard fighting. Grant, as we have saKI, is Gommander-in-Ohief of the army. He ought to be at the seat of war. Let him avail himself of the rail? roads and the utilized steam, and take the first train to-morrow morning for Louisiana. It would do well enough for him to stay at home when he had only twenty-five thousand dollars a year. Now he gets fifty thonsand, and onght to be on the spot where ho is most needed. Certainly he doesn't soem to be of much account at Washington?unless ho should take it into his head to attend an even? ing grammar nnhool?but who knows that he might not render himself useful iu Now Orleans? By the way, speaking of Now Orleans, it was there that Gen. Grant received his first and most powerful impressions in regard to steam; aud it is evident, from his late inaugural, that he imagines it was invented about that time. Hav? ing considerable steam on himself, he rau his horeo at a 2:17>? gait plump into a fired-up locomotive, and broke three of his ribs. Perhaps he thinks this was enough of war in New Orleans. [New York Sun, 1th. The days of superstition are not yet over. Iu tho Pennsylvania House of Representatives, the other day, a board of thirteen were objected to because it was au "unlucky number." It was oh an god to eleven. The "old original thirteen States" were a pretty good start for the republic, notwithstanding tho oddity of tho number. Deatfi op a Sailor.?Pabio Guiso, tho sailor of tho bark Florence, men? tioned yestorday morning, as having been injured by a fall from the rigging of the vessel, died on Thursday night, in Charleston. .asked >onej of- .the ^Canadiana what be fcaongnt about she annexation projeot, And bow he and hie people would like to belong to oar great and happy republic "I don't want any of it in mine," he ?aid, rather abruptly. "Is that the gene* ral feeling?" "yea; yon can't find one Canadian in twenty who would consent to annexation. If ever we join the United States, it will be at the point of the bayonet; Bight now we are freer than yon are, and have lees taxes to pay. Yon oarj get? ?int of good liquor in Canada for what a drink ooite here. Everything we buy is cheaper there. Clothing, even, is thirty per cent, cheaper. Why? Because yon are taxed to death in your rotten republic, and don't know it. Your Congressmen and officials at Washington steal more than it takes to run our whole Government in Canada. Do you sup? pose outsids people, knowing these things as well as we do, want to pin our destiny to auch a Government? The theory of yours is good enough, I know, but corruption and imbecility have crowded it until what you call the beat Government tbe world ever Baw has be ooine tbe worst one." I was about to open a vigorous broadside in defenoe of our institutions and Government in a regular Four th-uf-J uly style, when I saw him spread out a daily paper and com? mence reading the despatches under the head of "Credit Mobiliar." I did not say anything. [Cor. Cincinnati Commercial. Tub Threatened Stbike?The New York Journal of Commerce notes the threatened strike of some of the trades onions in that oity, particularly the carpenters and the "allied societies." The editor reminds them of the failure of the strike last year on tho eight-hour issue, adding: "The present wages on the eight-hour scale are 83.50 a day. Tho 'bosses' propose to give forty oents an hour for ten hours' work, and the same rate for. additional hours. Men who are willing to labor twelve hours? and there are not a few thus ambitious? would make nearly five dollars a day for ordinary houae-oarpenter work." The workmen who are thus ambitious are wise, as it is the sure means by whioh men who labor for a living may lay by something for a rainy day, and, in time, perhaps, eeafe delving, and take the rest or ease which advanced life calls for. Men have the right, however, to work only eight hours if they so agree, or even less, the matter of wages eventu? ally regulating itself by circumstances; bnt the more leisure a man takes in his youth, the less he is likely to have in store for old nge, when he needs it the more. Thogruater amount oi time ho iB regular employed in making money, the lees time will he have to devoto to the useless or extravagant spending of it. M?rder.?James M. Hale, living in tho upper part of Gordon County, Ga., was murdered last Saturday night, in his own house, after the family had retired, by two desperadoes, named Zaoh. Taylor and Jim Tucker. Theso men broke into the bouse, after buiug refused admission, at an unreasonable hoar, and after sit? ting by tho fire, they proceeded to strip the bedding from the children and the oldest daughter, when Mr. Hale arose, and commanded them to leave, where? upon he was shot by Taylor. The old man, though badly wonnded in the breast, oommonoed a bold defenoe, but was. again shot to tbe heart by Taylor, and immediately expired. The despera? does then left. The reoords of the Polynesian slave trade show that it is little, if any, less atrocious than the trafllo with Africa in its palmiest days. Queensland, the most tropical of the British oolonies in Aus? tralia, needs labor, and has been import? ing colonists from the various South Pa? cific- islands for some years past. Legiti? mate moans have failed to bring tho re? quisite supply. Henoo hundreds of poor wretches have been kidnapped and nom? inally hired out, but really sold to the planters. So far have the unprincipled traders gone, as to rig up one of their vessels to simulato a missionary craft. One of the results of this deception is the murder of Bishop Patterson by the natives of an island which he visited. His Counterfeit had preoedod him, and the people were naturally iucensed at the outrages which they suffered. The matter ia now fairly before the British Parliament, and it ia to bo hoped that a speedy and effectual stop will bo put to the abominable traffic Death on Ship board. ?Capt Allen, of the sohooner A.'
