Thiifr announcement may perhaps relieve certain Democratic journals and politicians whose main energies .of late have been devoted to theSWefa mat ion of Governor BOIXOCK'S character, apparently with the view of shutting against him the doors of Congress.

It is Governor BULLOCK'S intention to remain in Georgia and give his entire time and labors to thp building up of his State, an humble instrument of reconstruction in the hands of the American people. It will be rough work, doubtleas, but that is not Gov. BULLOCK'S fault. When the ground is rocky and \uatted with stubborn roots and stumps, you catMjOt drive the gentle plough.

,,r Eqnlne Sagacity.,''h There is a horse at the Gov$r»n)g|)t corral at this place noted for loosening the halter-strap with which he is tied. It is useless to tie hrni with any ordinary knot. He will work the strap loose with his teeth, and go about the corral just when he chooses. There is a well in the yard from which all the Government stock is watered. Day before yesterday the pump—a force pump, worked by brakes—got out of order, and no wjiter could be obtained. The animals were taken to the creek close by for water. The horse referred to, refusing to drink, Was taken to his stall and tied as usual. In a few minutes he deliberately untied his halter, walked over to the pump, and finding no water in the trough where he was accustomed to drink, at once, seized the break with his teeth and worked it up and down several times, then put his nose to the spout, evidently expecting water to come. Again and again, for nearly five minutes, did he seize the brake and work, and then put his nose to the spout. Finding his efforts useless, he walked off, evidently disappointed.

A PRIMA DONNA IN DISTRESS.

"The Course of Trne Love," F.lo.Unnsnal Scene in a Police Court.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser. I A romance in real life, affording abundant material i'or a first-class novel in three volumes, was developed this morning at the Jefferson Market Police Court, before Justice Shandley. 'flip facts as they appear are as follows:

During the year 1863, Deinetla AgricoffSlavinsky, director ot the Imperial Opera at St. Petersburg, was traveling in the Province of Odessa, Russia White adjourning in a small town he attended a concert given for the benefit of the poor of that place. Among the artistes who "assisted" at the affair was a beautiful and interesting young l»dy named Nedefa Savinsky.

The manager at once instituted legal proceedings against the lady and her husband. This morning he appeared in court, the parties having been arrested on a Warrant issued in September last, and statedItiat the lady in her flight had carried off $1,000 in gold intrusted to her care. Officer Brennan had been in pursuit of the alleged fair defaulter, but was unable to apprehend lier until this- morning, she having-just returned from an extended bridal tdlir. On being arranged, the prima donna was held in $2,000 bail to answer the charge, a leading Wall street banker becoming her security.

The fair accused denied the charge in the most bewitching broken EngUsh. Sbe stated that the whole amount involved was $200, which sum she placed in the room of the complainant before leaving.

COOPERATION

A Beiuedy for Strikes—Whit it has Accomplished.

r*.

From the New York Tribune.] Every commercial and industjrud interest would heartily rejoice in the d«HK»ve«y of some panacea for strikes, uauiy, high rents, low wages, and dear food—in short, for all monopolies which exist, whether of labor or capital. The happy day of universal abolition of usurers and "middlemen," who rn^ke money anff marketing dear, when the capitalist and J&borer shall go hand in hand, contented with what they pS)r and receive

and when

landlords and tenants «liall lie down together in mutual satisfaction, is probably still a great distance of time removed but there can be no longer a doubt that co-operation has done much to hasten, at least in the more intelligent and liberal communities, the reconciliation of many of those differences which have brought capital and labor into false and damaging antagonism.

After more than twenty-five years of sunypssful application, in various parts of Europe and A^erie^ it would seem that the virtues of oo-operatifln hfjvp peen clearly eMablished. The

Tribune

has

lately'been actively engaged in this work, and publishes-leWers giving accurate exposition of pi'actlcal' teci%peration abroad and at home. These letters have embraced accounts of the co-operative groceries of England, .France and Massachusetts the co-operative banks of Germany and It#ly the co-operative farms of England and FfftOPP the-co-operative kitchens of France and Switzerland the co-operative dwellings of France, and the co-operative and industrial partneship ainontt iron molders, tanners, printers, weavers, boatmen, bakers, shoemakers, butchers, comb-makers, tailors, Ac., of both continents. The, practical efforts of no branch of trade have been unnoticed their successes have been fully told, but not exaggerated, and a few of the many practical manufaeturers, mechanics and agriouUiirjsts, before wliSni the letters have, been laid, but h»ye feuwl therein facts to reflect upon. Soiue of these are wel 1 worthy of recapitulation. 1. Co-operation has abolished strikes. It is the united testimony of our correspondents, abroad and at home, that cooperative'factories have invariabty rendered strikes unnecessary in the immediate vicinage,' simply by the regulation of wage* which thts system produces. Having themselves to yay, the co-operatives are reasonable in, their demands, ancTthe value of wages does not fluctuate. In vain have the wealthiest and best conducted Trades Unions in this country and Europe entfeavored to establish and rggulate the value of labor by strikes. They have proved abortive in nine cases out often at the best, they havp been temporarily successful, never decisive they have merely paralyzed capital, which can afford to bo inactive, hut they have exhausted labor, whieh can hot indulge in the luxury of idlenees. While Trades Unions have been expensive and Sndecft nive, is offensive warfare generally proves he defensive measure of co-opera tion have been -profitable as well a^ effect ive.

Our correspondent of Milan (October 18(ii,) iijluded to a strike of the printers, in which the Union exhausted its exchequer of 20,000 franps^wbefi, turning to co-operation as a remedy, they established a business on 25,000" francs, which gave employment.to all the strikers^ and at'ojjoe regulated the rates of composition. The iron molders of this country have spent §1,500,000 on useless strikes with less than one-fifth of that sum ten co-op erative foundries have been put in sue cessl'ul operation, with the additional re suit regulating wages in their localities. The minor effects of these industrial partnerships in reducing the cost of product by decrea««ng tli# Wastage, and advancing the value of real estate by inducing workmen to settle in the neighborhood of their workshops', have also been dwelt upon and conclusively shown in the let ters alluded to. 2. Co-operation reduces the cost of food. It is a very great fault of the marketing system of this country—and particularly of this city—that it gives employment and an unnecessary profit to "middlemen." "This profit the producers aW consumers arfe compelled to pay the consumers' proportion being much the largest. It is observed that» quick effect of the establishtnent of the great co-ope-rative kitchens at Grenoble,Trance, and Heme, Switzerland, was thtf abolition of the middlemen ana the consequent reduction of the cost of all kinds of food. The producer* go to the kitchen* as to a mar ket, and deal directly with the consumers —the customer^ to wjiom

Stockholders in tbe Maaiachusetts llor(B 8av# fnttn 16 to 33 per cent, onigg grocerkB coBsumed bv them thoee in ^B^and aiid France Mveeven more thtt oife-ttird of their expenditures. 3. Co-opera£lbn abolishes usury. Usurers, of course, live ofl the needy and poor. The co-operative banks of Italy and Germany are established for the benefit solely of-the poorer classes. Those of Italy, to qilote M. Giovanni Silvestri, the Diroctor of the

Banea Popolare

at Milan,, have

been "entir«ly anhvenive in principle of the entire draft|of money-hucksters and monopolies, from chartered State banks to pawnbrokers' shops.". The older German banks, on the system of M. Schultce Delitseh, report the same practical result. 4. Co-operation reduces rents. The history of the co-operative dwellings at Guise contains proof of this. The "Familistere" at that place, now twenty years old, has not only fnrnished better lodgings to three hundred persons of the working class at less rates than the wretched hovels in which they previously lived at rents ranging from $1 to $2 50 per month, but has regulated at a low rate rents in all parts of the town.

When we were going down the mountain a little fellow came out and said, "Ohio!'' It then occurred to us that Mrs Nevins, in her book, said that meant "goodmorning!" It is spelled "Ohaiyo so that after to every one we met I said "Ohaiyo," and all seemed wonderfully pleased. I shall never forget "Ohio" is the first word I spoke to the natives in their own language. The salution is the some in China.

When we ftgairi reached the town a crowd soon gathered around us, and one woman held a child up so that it might get a good look at my hair, which seemed quite a wonder to them. Some of the Japanese jugglerB wanted to show us what they could do, so we sat down on the porch at the American Consul's and watched them. They put themselves in all sorts of shapes, and performed a great many tricks such as running a knife into the eye, driving a spile through the tongue, etc.* they would turn over backward, bend the head clear to the ground and bring it right side up between the feet and fece us. They were very expert. On the whole, our little stop at Hiogo is a very pleasant incident in our journey.— The country we like very much the fruit I could not eat, except the oranges and grapes, but J— liked it very much.

our party around the town. At a fruit stand he threw down an "itsibo," (about twenty-eight cents) and motioned for them to give him the worth of in oranges —expecting three or four, as in our country. But to his surprisdhe got a basket and commenced putting them in, and kept putting them in. He laughed, the ladies laughed, and so did the Japanese, for laughing is a language all can understand but the oranges kept going in until there were five dozen of them, and the basket was thrown into the bargain.

It got to be quite late before we started back to the ship, and the waves were so high that it was hard rowing. The "Japs" who took us over, at every stroke of the oars would sav "Ough, Josh! Ough, Josh!"—calling upon their god "Josh" for assistance. As we reached the ship in saefty, I presume they attributed it to their "Josh.'' Podr, deluded people. It makes me sad to think of it.

From the New York Sun, iStL Some daya ago it was whiLr— the knowii^ ones that there was a discrepancy of $50,000, or thereabouts, between the books of the Cashier of the Merchants Exchange National Bank and the actual sums in the vaults of the bank and after strict examination of the accounts, it was ascertained that the first of the various embezzlements of which this last is the culmination, dated as far bade as 1867, and extended through 1868. It was furthermore ascertained that the Cashier, Mr. Edward J. Oakley, had altered the books of the institution to suit his convenience, and has thus been able to misappropriate the funds. The Vice President

Mr. W. A. Thompson, first detected ihe imposition, and made known to the Roard the fact that the man who had endeared himself to all, and whose probity they had ever regarded as above the slightest suspicion, had been for years a defaulter, secretly stolen the moneys of the bank, and deposited them with his brother. Immediately upon the discovery of the robbery, the bank Directors called upon Mr. Calen dar, United States Bank, examiner, re questing him to inspect their accounts, and the facts, as above stated, were communicatcd to the proper authorities, in

Washington, whereupon Solicitor of the Treasury Banfield telegraphed to -New York instructing Judge Pierrepoint to institute proceedings against Oakley on behalf of the Government. On Saturday last, United States Commissioner Shields, upon the affidavit of Unitfd States Assistant District Attorney Purdy, granted a warrant for the apprehension of the defaulter, which was placed in the hands of the U.

The port of Hiotto, however, has been open but a short time, and a foreigner, especially a lady, is quite a sight. Crowds of Japanese—men, women and children—followed us through the streets, staring &t us wjtji wi(le open eyes. We went fiist to the American Consul's, where we were kindly received, and when we expressed a desire to visit the Falls he sent for a "sedan chair" and four coolies for us. There was only one chair in (he place (there were so few. ladies) so we each took a turn in it. They succeeded in constructing another of bamboo— a rude one—for Mrs. C——, one of the missionary ladies, who is a cripple, and has to use crutches. We had to go two miles up the mountain to see the Falls, but felt well repaid when we reached the spot. It was really charming, the water falls about 150 feet, broken onlv.once by a projecting rock, which made it the more beautiful. The Wflter }s rpprfvpd in a rocky basin and flows through a deep chasm to the base of the mountain. The scenery was very fine all the way we could look back upon the sea and the town close to the water's edge at the foot of the mountain, which made a very pretty picture. The path up the mountain was well beaten, and in many places there were stone arches built over it by the natives. Occasionally we found a little thatch-covered building by the side of the path, from which the women and children would emerge to get a peep at the strange looking people. One Japanese woman brought us some flowers and a cup of water,, and another brought us some tea we thought they did it to get a "bo" (a small coin of theirs), but they refused pay. When we reached an elevation where we could look down upon the Falls, we found a little building for the accommodation of travelers, where, by paying a good price, we got spR»§thipg to eat which we couldn't eat—sweet-meats and cake. I gave mine to one of the coolies, who devoured it with satisfaction. Back of this little building we found a worshiping grove, where there were three idols with offerings of flowers before them.

nature of the gentleman's

business with Mr. Oakley,- and begged to be informed whom she had the honor of addressing. She said that her husband had invariably made her his confident in all business transactions, and that both her husband and herself had been greatly worried of late by slanderous rumors in connection with the bank. The detective replied that his visit was purely a matter of business, referring entirely to another subject, wfcich, unfortunately, he was uiiable' tp impart. The dissimulation, though admirably executed, did not escape the ready wit ofthe woman.

She at once suspeoted the truth, that her visitors were officers in search of her unhappy husband. Though, as it afterward appeared, Mr. Oakley was at the time secrected in the house, Mrs, Oakley, with astonishing nerve and

sured the detectives that she "regretted exceedingly her husband's absence," but requested them "to call again," positively asserting that she was sure he would be at home the next day,/Sunday). Sunday came, and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday passed with the non-appearance of Oakley, apd without any clue to his whereabouts. The house was meanwhile closely watched. At all interviews Mrs. Oakley invariably apologized for the continued absence of her husband adroitly evading replies to all questions that could by any possibility lead to the discovery of her husband, and skillfully displaying those masterly powers of equivocation of which her sex is capable. On Wednesday the officers learned that their movements were closely watched by the agents of Mrs. Oakley, among whom was her coachman, who is represented as being a very shrewd fellow ana fully equal to his part. The detectives, with all their art, have so far been utterly baffled in their efforts to apprehend the defaulting Cashier. Indeed the most ingeniously devised schemes of noted experts in the corps have been frustrated by the cleverness of a devoted wife. It is now supposed that during some momentary relaxation of the vigilance of the officers, Mrs. Oajtley, who was watching with eagness, quickly seized the opportune hiatus, and had her husband removed from tbe house in disguise.

Early in 1869, the brother of the absconding Cashier, Mr. Cornelius Oakley, in consequence of some mercantile enterprise connected with the shipment of merchandise to Hayti, overdrew his account with the bank, and the overdraft was made good from the funds of the bank by the Cashier. This, the first dishonest act, was repeated at various intervals during the years heretofore mentioned, to meet the pressing demands of Cornelious Oakley, with whom Edward J. Oakley had now become associated in the Haytian schemes, until the amount fraudulently appropriated attained the respectable sum of $150,000. Had it not been for the Haytian insurrection, and the consequent failure of Cornelious Oakley's projects, the first overdraft would have been met, and the bank officers would never have known that their Cashier had touched their funds.

The Directors of the Bank informed the reporter of the

Sun

Mr, Oakley will, to-day, give himself up, an arrangement having been made by which his bail is to be fixed at $10,000.— As the penalty on conviction cannot be less than five years, it is probable that he will forfeit his bail.

A rich Prize.

From the Troy Times, Ja«aary 14.] Some months since we published a state ment to the effect that Miss Gray, a milli ner of. Fort Edward, Tiad become the fortunate heir to $19,000,000, which her lover, a young Englishman, had willed to her upon his dying bed. The main fact in the case—the heirship—is true but we now learn that it was not to the lover, but to his father, that Miss Gray is indebted for her extraordinary good fortune. It seems that the lover, pn his rpturn to England, like too many others, proved inr constant, and married another lady, against his father's will. Whether it was remorse at at his faithlessness, or from other cause, certain it is the young man died in about a year after his marriage, and left all his property to his_ father. The old gentleman was without heirs and not having become reconciled to his daughter-in-law, upon his death left onehalf of his property to the Government of England, and the remaining half, $19,000, 000, totfisa Gray, the Fort Edward miliner. The sum was so large that manv people were disposed to doubt its truth when it first appeared in print bat Mies Gray has already received the first installment of her fortune, a trifle of $5,000,000, from the British Consul in New York. On Tuesday last she receiv ed a dispatch from the Consul, announcing that the money awaited her, and on the following day she left Fort Edward for New York, where it was paid over to her.
