Mr. Bmlth then moved the Court to adjourn tbe bearing until these gentlemen oould be pro duced, which -motion was opposed by the other side npon the ground that every hour during whloh this rule pended there was an imputation against the offlolal character, and the require ments of the rule granted by the Court had been met. Mr. Brewster urged the motion for continu ance, saying that It was freely oonoeeded that no Imputation of guilty knowledge on the part of Colonel Bnowden in regard to tuese transac tions; but there was strong proof of great neall gence in tbe conduct of tbe offloer that would draw upon Colonel Snowden the reflection of this Court. And It was due to that gentleman, and Messrs. Worrall and Bolleau, that they should be hard. After further remarks from Mr. Blddle in opposition to the motion, Judge Bbarswood consented to grant the motion, and the matter was continued until to morrow morning. BILL. Tbe Georgian Coinea Oat la Another letter. In a letter to the N. Y. Herald, published this morning, Hon. B. H. Hill, of Georgia, speaks as follow: "How can tbe Union be cordially restored ? By returning to the Constitution. How will the Government be subverted? By the Ame rican people deciding to "maintain and perpe tuate'' a policy outHide of tbe Constitution. Inside of tbe Constitution a Union, freedom increased prosperity, restored credit, and bonds payable. Outside of tbe Constitution Union, freedom, prosperity, and credit will perish together. The reconstruction policy of Congress has oost hundreds of millions already. It has lessened tbe productions of the Bouth one bundred mil lions each year of Us existence. It has depre ciated the value of Southern property to one fourth its value in 1866. It will oost the Federal Government hundreds of millions more to "maintain and perpetuate" this "assured suo cess," this wholesale destruction. It will lessen tbe productions of the South more than one hundred millions per annum, and, wickedly enticing the poor negroes from tbe fields of plenty Into loyal leagues of hate and into armed companies of death, will lor years desolate the South. Can you maintain the Union, promote pros perity, restore good will, stimulate philan thropy, modify Southern temper, restrain "Rebel outrages," and pay tbe bonds by "main taining and perpetuating" such a policy? But I am told that the victorious North is ready to fight again, and millions of "boys In blue" will march under their great teader, General (then President) Grant, and "make tbe oouquered Rebels submit to this negro equality and social ruin." You will? Bravol But stop, courageous fool; answer me; how will that restore tbe Union and pay tbe bonds? It is so brave for these, well equipped and after a long, bard struggle, to conquer one poorly equipped, and then boast about it and call tuat one a coward, and so magnanimous to crush that one and torce blm to accept an equality with the negro which tbe Northern States repudiate for themselves. Stop ail this new form of trea son, and stop the miserable policy of recon struction which Is its fruit. Tbe Boutn wants peace. Bhe is impoverished and needs it. sae was promised it on terms of equality if sbe would surrender, and is entitled to It. She hxs kept her Appomattox bond in good faith, and every Northern soldier is In honor her ladorser w bile sbe keeps that bond . Will they Join and will their chief lead the politicians in this negro assault upon the peace of tbe South and honor of tbe North,? Take away these carpet- baggers and send us tbe laborers, farmers, machinists, and capitalists of the North by taking away this miserable reoonstruotlon policy whloh sends us tbe first and keeps away tbe last. We have peaceful, fertile, cheap houses for 30,090 000 of Northern .people who will come to help us build up tbe country whose sky is tbe brightest and whose fruits are the sweetest on the earth. But we bave no place for a white carpet-bagger who comes to take control of the negro aud bread hate and strife to get nffloe. , Among your hundreds of tbousandsof readers are bankers, brokers, millionaires, merchants, skilful accountants, and learned gentlemen. Onn you induce tbem to consider and solve the followlsg problems? How effectually can the Union nnder tbe Constitution be restored by measures outside of the Constitution? How long will it take to pay the publlo debt by expending hundreds ot millions to destroy the industry of tbe country, and in maintain ing by the bayonet a policy out-lde of the Con stitution, which the bayonet, negroes, and false courts alone established? How long will It take to Improve the temper of tbe Southern people by continuing tttU policy whloh alone has disturbed that temper slnoe the surrender, aud whloh everyday keept their persons, tbeir property and their families In danger of pillage, rape, and burning ? : Of what value is It to the Nort h to force upon tbe Bouth governments whloh will enable de laded negroes to select for South Carolina and Georgia Governors and Representatives from Vermont and Massachusetts? You say General Grant will be eleoted, Pos sibly so. I cannot fix a limit to fanatical in fatuation. If be shall be eltoied and shall administer tbe Constitution according to his oath be will bave no more oordlal supporters than tbe Houthern people. If beshall adminis ter tbe Chicago platform, as be stands pledged contrary to bis oath, he may find submissive subjects, but no honest supporters at the Bouth and no free constituency In America. Tbe South asks 'nothing but what tbe North firomised equality under tbe same Constitut ion. Georgia asks no power to make a consti tution for ber Internal affairs, or to ehange that constitution, whloh Is not oonoeded to and exercised by Illinois. Will a President chosen from Illinois ooncede that claim accord ing to the Constitution, or will he deny It ac cording to the Chicago platform ? With a pledge to carry out the platform, with out even an allusion to the Constitution, either in the platform or In the pledge, will the people of Amerioa risk the rights and the freedom oi every pan merely la confer an empty honor ou one man however great? u. II, Hili SPAIK Its Beaonreea, Climate, Population, and Colonies. The 'Spanish people have It now In their power to apply effectual remedies to tbe evils with wbion the oountry has been long afflicted, and their movements, nnder present circum stances, will be watched with tbe deepest anxiety by the friends of progress and popular government all ovet the world. Spain still possesses all the elements of national greatness. If we look at her geographically, we find that In point of situation, area, climate, soil, and variety of productions, she occupies a foremost place among tbe oountrles of Europe. Occupying the larger portion of tbe splendid renlnsula whloh forms the southwest corner of be European oontlnent, tbe kingdom la no less than 600 miles in length, with an average breadth of about 880 mliea, and oovers an area,, including the Balearlo and Canary Isles, of 1(16,031 square miles. The climate of the greater part of it lsof the most delightful andsalubrious character. The soil Is in general remarkably fertile, and among the products of tbe country are many of the most preolous artloles of com merce. Spain has a eoast line 1817 miles long, of which 71- miles are formed by the Mediterra nean, and 606 miles by tbe Atlantic Ocean, and tbe oountry is well watered. The total population, according to the last census, taken in 1864, is 16,287 ,076, showing an lnorease of nearly one hundred per cent, iu the space of a century. In spite of all the draw backs from whloh It bas suffered, the manu facturing Industry of the country bas mate rially advanoed of late years, and there hos ali-o been a marked Improvement in all agri cultural prooesses. During the last twenty years over three thousand miles of railway bave been opened for traffic, and an equal number of miles of publlo roads nave been constructed. In short, all that Spain needs now to Insure for her a highly prosperous and brilliant future, is a liberal and stable government a government that shall enoonrage and aid tbe people to shake off the yoke of ecclesiastical tyranny which bas so long pressed upon them, impairing their energies and weakening their aspirations after better things; a government that shall seek its strength and find its safety In the intelligence and public virtues of tbe people, and that will devote Itself heartily to promoting the cause ot popular education on sound and enlightened principles. What effect the revolution Just accomplished will have upon the oolonies of Bpaln, as regards their relations with the mother country, oan be only a matter of conjecture at present. The only oolonies remaining to her of the immense colonial possessions she once owned are tbe inlands of Cuba and Porto Rico, and part of tbe Virgin Islands In tbe West Indies; the Philip pines in Asia; and in Africa a portion of terri tory at Cape San Juan; the province of Tetuan, and tour small islands In the Gulf of Guinea. Tbe total area of these oolonies is 125.000 square miles, and their total population, 6,882,611 souls. Wltn tbe infectious example before them of such neighbors as Cuba and Porto Rico bave on the continent, it oan hardly be expected in any event that Bpaln will continue to hold these islands much longer, unless, indeed, she should become republican; but the ose is different with tbe Philippine islands, as In that part of tbe world there is no pioneer npon whloh those colonies could look for sympathy and support In a struggle to gain and conserve their inde pendence. BRICK P0MER0Y. lie Receive Unfavorable Comments from the Blew York Ualllea. The New York BeralA of this morning pub lishes tbe following: Probably no one thing has operated so un favorably to our success In the canvass as the existence and course of tho bolting, trea cherous, double-faoed, and false-faced sheet in this city which these leaders and committees have, by tbe certificates of character and urgent appeals for support whloh they have irom time to time issued in its behalf, foroed Into exten sive circulation among the democratic masses, and thereby given a power of mischief whloh is telling tremendously against ns at every stage and in every movement of the cam paign. This bastard concern begotten of Puritanism and corruption and brought into pretended but lalse adhesion to the Dsmooratio party for a price, at the same time that its con trolling spirit declared that he loathed demo cracy, and that It would be only in the last ex tremliy, and under a supreme pecuniary ne cessity that he would even Join it In appearance, as he could never do in heart by lis repudia tion of the financial plank of the platform, aud open hostility to the positions so fully and earnestly accepted, and advocated by our can didates. Federal and state, as the leading and strongest lusue of the oauvass, has doue an amount of barm to tbe cause wh:oh cannot now be estimated, and will not be known until until tbe great count shall be made, aud miy tben be found (which God forbid) to have been fatal to our success. From every quarter comes np the testimony that tbe course of this false, venal press Is weakening and endangering us to an extent which these leaders and committees will never awake from their deep sleep to discover until it will be too late to apply a remedy, and the fatal work which seems to be Its mission may be done. Bo, too, thousands of deceived and be trayed Democrats deceived and betrayed by tbese leaders and Committees are daily send leg up their complaints against this organ of tbe bondholding aristocracy, demanding that its capacity for further deception aud treason be taken away by a universal, emphatic and final repudiation of Its claims to tne oharaoter of an exponent oi Democratio opinion and a re presentative of the Democratio party. We write these words of warning nnder the call of our Injured Democratio brethren in every part of tne Union and In behalf of that great and holy cause in whose service we are laboring day and nlgbt, spending our best ener gies, and to secure the suooeas of which we would freely lay down our last dollar and even life itself. Let those concerned take heed. The peril Is Imminent the necessity for prompt and decided action most urgent. EXPRESS ROBBERS. A Letter from Allan Plnkerton, tbe -Clilcag-o Selective. Allan Plnkerton, in a letter to the Toronto Telegraph of October 1, writes: I arrived in this elty on the morning of the 25th, and so soon as I learned of tbe discharge of tbe prisoners obarged with tbe robbery ot the Merchants' Union Express Company, caused and had an information laid before Stipendiary Magistrate MoMrloken, and a war rant issued tor the rearrest of the prisoners, but regret to ssy tbat from the complicity of the police officers and detectives from the United Slates, and by other means, Morton and Thompson have not yet been arrested, but I am determined to remain in Canada a sufficient length of time to warrant me in saying that if they still sek aiefuge there, they will probably be found by the proper and duly authorized officers of the Dominion: if they seek a refuge in tbe United States, that is amply sufficient for me. ... In reference to the case of Reno and Ander son, I beg to say that Seymour, Indiana, Is somewhat noted as having been very unsafe for persons or valuables passing through there for many years. I will not in this undertake to prejudice their case now pending before the Court npon a writ of habeas corpus. Reno and Anderson bave been examined before Justice McMloken, of Windsor, who has ordered tbem for extradition. Their defense Is an alibi I btg to say, tbat aooordlng to ray counsel's ad vice, evidence for the defense is not admissible upon inedemand of tbe United Stales for ex tradition under the Ashburton and Webster Tresty. Tbat, bowever, is a matter whloh the Court will determtne upon tbe hearing of the writ. Tbe decision Of the Canadian Courts I have nothing whatever to find fault wltb; tbey bave universally been, I think, fair and right. As the representative of the Consolidated Ex press Companies, I beg leave to say that I shall always bow to the decisions of t be Courts, what ever tbey may be, but at the same time we are contending lor great rights. I bave no doubt but tbe ease of Reno and Anderson, when It comes be lore the Chief Justice will reoelve a careful attention and a Just deolslon. Whatever tbat may be, we shall defer to It in every re spect. Overcharges are also pending against lit no and Anderson, npon whloh they will un doubtedly be rearrested. I would like to say more with regard to them, but Justice to them, and with due deference to the court, demands of me, I should say no more. I shall be con tents with a due administration of the law, such ss the Dominion wUl graat to criminals within Its limits. SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.

The Nashville Press and Times of October 1 contains the following: Upon the occupation of Nashville the Cun ningbam residence, on High street, was taken as the headquarters of the general In command. It was successively occupied by a number of generals, who had the entrances guarded by soldiers with bayonets. One of them went so far as to piaoe a cordon of bayonets around the whole block. When General Grant oame to Nashville he bad his headquarters at the same plaoe. We had occasion to oall npon blm several times. He was not hedged about with bayo netsnot a mnsket was to be seen. An orderly, without arms, stood at the door, and reoelved visitors kindly and politely. The gallant Bow ers, (a tear to his memory), and .Parker, the In dian aid, were inside, and if the General was not engaged, would, with a show of reaped, go with and Introduce them at onoe. If eugagej, they would tell them when to oall again. General Grant invariably reoelved his visi tors with oonrtesy, making them feel at ease by tbe blandnesstand sincerity of his manner. Tbe spirit which governed him reacted through out headquarters, and we never heard of au in stance of rudeness during his sojourn in our midst. He was then at the head of all the armies of the Hepublio. He had good cause to be proud of bis position and his successes. No doubt he felt proud, but It was tbe modest prlie of the noble soldier who felt tnat he had done his duty, and his country was not ungrateful. There was noneof the "Insolence of offloe" about him no show, no parade. Another incident: One fine morning General Grant walked down to the Chattanooga Depot, with the Intention of taking tbe train lor Cbattanooaa. The doors of tbe oars were looked. and a soldier on guard on each platform. Gene ral urant went to one oi tne cars, and was in the act of stepping upon tbe platform, when he was arrested by tbe "hall !" of tbe euard. "You can't get Into this oar," continued the guard. "Why not, my man?" quietly asked tbe uenerai. "I am instructed to admit no one until fur ther orders." replied the guard. The General bowed aoqulesoenoe, and went suenty away, witn a smiie on ms taoe. Tbe Franco-American- Cltlaens of Kllchl Ksu for Urant. To the Editor of the Detroit Post.
