The grand tenant ion of the season at
Niacnra was on Thursday auspiciously
i"nau£Urated by tho successful debut of
Harry Lenlie, the American blondin, who
damonitrated the purfeqtMft of ropa-
wailang frisnre and the houndln»sno*s of
Providential forbearance, by crossing and
r,yrowing the frightful chasm of Niagara
uver. immediately b«low th»* riu-pentioa
bridge. Tip* ounibor of |pccUtors on the

nut to be frustrated in their designs, and
dannilessiy broached the torrent of rain.
•«ht.rtly before three o’clock in tho after
noon the rain norm- abated and tho ap*
(tearance of patches of biUo sky gave the
piomuo of a sufficient ceuatioq to permit
ibfl rop«-w«tking exhibition, nnd the
crowd rapidly concentrated in tho vicinity
..f the bridge.
Letlio had stretched his rope across the
rivrr at shout me lOOaMoil solecto 1 by
fitondin io ls*a second season,a point somo
rj* Hundred lert Poiow the bridge, over
the first "f the terrific rapids commencing
at that p wc« It has a r.pan of about 800
feet, and probably an elevation of two
hundred last from the water. Tho surge
of the current at lbi> point is tremendous,
having u powerful etF- cl upon tba speota-
Uir on Hie briug« or banka, and the teat
of crossing tbe staining sbyaf upon a sin*
gle rope must be conaioered the acme of
foolbsrUincts. Tho linn is about a lour*
loco Manilla, and ia stay id by eighty
purl, twenty Imding from a side to each
bank, an open apace of about thirty feet
occurring in thu cc ter. Toe heavy rain
during the duy had contracted the lacisle
to a b'go Jug roe, arid the ropa had hut a
little iv'iig, a third ol ibo length being
nearly burifonta).
Lesha is about twenty-eight years of
age, five feet eight inches in bight, rather
slight in build, but lilbo and agile, and
possessed *f great nerve nnd muscle. At
be emerged from the stand on the
American side, immediately clearing a
perpendicular precipice of two hundred
faat.nnd his wile wav observed to take her
position at the end of the rope and watch
his progress with intense interest. Amid
the grandeur of the surrounding scenery,
the daring adventurer seemed like a Hill*
putian upon the airy cottrio, and his ap
pearance was tho signnl for a sudden si
lence, only d»«turh <> d by the roar of tho
restless waters beneath. He proceeded
slowly and cautiously, and when nbnut
one-lourtb of the distance,sat down upon
the rope and rested n few seconds. Again
resuming his Journey, ho wa* noticed th
hesitate at intervals, ns it fatigued, Hut
after passing the rrntnr "-pace he stepped
-ery regularly and without hOMtation un
til the stand on tho Canadian shore was
gained. A loud cheer greeted th* eurc***
of tho foal, which wa r - taken up along the
bridge to the American bank, and the
hand* again struck up murir. The time
occupied in crossing was fix minute*) nnd
lorty-cight seconds.
Leslie appeared quite cool nnd cheerful
on hi.* arrival, remarking that fie wa- en
tirely at homo on the rope, but com
plained that the unequal strain of the
guys, in consequence of the rain, had ren
dered the undertaking extra perilous,and
great difficulty wa« experienced in get
ting the right stop in muring the fasten
ing-. After a brief rest on the Canadian
vide, employed in a familiar chat, Leslie
again |M»i*e,j th8 balancing polo and start*
ed or. hi) return, the time being twelve
minute* to live o'clock. He proceeded
down the incline with tho same caution
manifested in hi« first -tart, and evidently
eipenoiiciid increased difficulty in pairing
the guy* leading from the C anada shore.
At times* he wa noticed to retrace his
‘•’.op*, advance and again retire several
ilmrr, on approaching a point where a
guy wa* fastened, it seeming to require
grout skill ai d the exercise of extreune
•autmn again.n n sudden jog of the ropo,
liable at tlm-o point.-. A short distance
out bo performed the foul of standing on
his left foot, placing the hall of bis right
foot agninst the loft knee. Gaining tho
«enter of the rope, he lay down upon bis
lia^k and exhibited his expert balancing
powers by regaining Ids foot in a quick
snd graceful manner. On reaching the
opposite incline, as usually noted in the
performances ol ropt.-walkers, ho lost no
farther time, but proceeded rapidly tu*
tho bank. The time oc cupied in the foc-
ond crossing was thirteen minute* and
twenty.f wo seconds. This ended the ex
hibition of the day, and thu successful
termination was greeted with prolonged
fh-:»r«. Tho general impression »nomcd
to be that Leslie if tho equal of Hlondin.
Ou Ktgro suffrage.
We clip the following from the Wash-
ington l uy correspondence of the New
York Herald. The reader will be iutor-
•SUd in its perusal :
The decision of rrcsideet Johnson in
leaving the question ot negro sutfrage to
thesewral males to regulate, i* daily be
coming more popular, not only with the
politicise*, but wan lit*' po'»|»iO. Evan
the iUp ibiican party is t«ui swinging
around in its favor. The efforts of the
radices to excite sympathy for the omnri-
tinned nlaves by munufucturing storie*
of ill treatment and hardships bear upon
their face so strong uud apparent evidence
or being produced fur politicel purposes
leal they are reaming against their origi
nators. Political managers and wire pull-
•riio the Republican party are constantly
appearing bare remain a day or two, and
jaturn borne. Thare ara also a large nura-
Her, who never entered the political arena
further ib«.n in casting tbtir votes, who
era cailea here on business. Au of these
* a< ® lht fucoostruction policy of
thv President, and especially the negro
suffrage ibequasi'On of comment. If the
^lews of toese gentleman ara any reflaC-
Mon of those ottha taais-t of thtir party
athoMA those who expact to ride into
•®«e on the bobby boreo sf universal
••gro suffrage may as wall save their wind
and baag their harps on^ the willow tree
it is impossible, most of tha time, to find
lf W Republicans enough at the national
capital who art in favor of conferring the
Ngblof voting*upon tba negro to gat up
J* laVareillng argun.ont. When you do
End a person who lakes that side of the
question, it will be found, io ninety-nine
cases out cf every bundled, that bo is
cither bolding a position which ha obtain-
fa through tba influenca of Mr. Chase, or
■as been identified with bit political lo-
Ureets in the past.
Tee efforts of the pretended humanita-
?1 #0 V D lhii direction, imtund uf heneflt-
J* 1 K'he negro, are gradually Injuring hi
JJ4 removing much of the sympathy »•>*
tnoedty feeling which he would otherwise
navet j udging from the expressions and
opinions of Republicans who visit Wash
ington from different sections of
-jurtb, it wtij b* impossible to find over
t ° ^o^hern States, »nd those in Hew
^Qglaod, wtneb would ar this lime en-
»vich a scheme, it csey he oosstd*
give (ho negroes the right to voto In tho
rcorgaui/.HtiiMi. lie wh& immediately ask-1
cd it bo thought the pooplcofOhio would
endur e »uch n roeolmion, when they do
not even allow thu nogroet to vote in tneir
State in any form, either under property
restriction or any other. They staled that
tbuv thought ii would be exhibiting a
little hypoeriey, to say the least, if tho
people of Ohio ur»<od negro suffrage upon
lbe South, when lh* y would nut allow
llieni to vote nt home under any circutu*
hlaiHCf A# far as 1 have beeu able to
mder that rl niovipg tho chains of slavory
and euiancipnliug the negro in four years’
lime is doing a great work and ought to
be considered sufficient for one genera
tion. Tho/ hftni) disposed to wait and buo
the negroes accept and conduct them
selves under their naw relations before
they confer unon thorn more favors. Thu
effort of the radicals to push their scheme
too (ail will only i jure the Cause of the
black man, and delay the timo when lie
will be permitted to exorcise tho right of
suffrage, for the simple rea*on thnt it will
embolden the negro und make him arro
gant.
The feeling in the army among the rank
and file i*< very strong against allowing
■^■nngro to vote. Especially is this the
loose in (jennrul .Ship-man's army, which]
the" Jacobins.
The radical achetuers have been for
some timo past maturing their plant of
opposition to the Reconstruction policy of
tue Prosidont. Thoy have, however, met
with a serious drawback iu their pro-
S atntno in (lading an audience Vo endorse
eir extreme ideas. The Chase men call-
od u meeting at the Cooper Institute, in
tbit city, with the soje view of securing
such an expression of approval of thoir
views that tt would force President John-
too to adopt them. But in this they sig
nally failed. The people unceremonious
ly repudiated them and their theories.—
Thoy were, thoreforo, forced to depend
upon the throats of some radical journal,
,or utterance of a Jacobin orator, deliver
ed in some obsouro place, or olce, like
Juslioe Chbfcu, solect tor their hearers the
negroes iiuoug the onnebrakos of the
South. They wore finally unable to hold
io any lougor, a blow out they must havo,
and JloslomWns selected as the place.—
The result shows that Bostou is tue only
place whore they can obtain an audieooa
that will endorse their revolutionary pro
gramme ; and yet we have nothing in tho
published proceedings to show whether
JdutUtAUusriug was (urge, or composed of
a more handful of atcowg*minded wssaeeai
and cruxy lunatics, which aroalways to be
found there.
It will be seen by tho extracts from
the proceedings of tbo Republican Mtato
Convention, hold at Columbus, Ohio, a
few days ago, which wo publish else
where, (hat a member of this convention
endeavored to securo the adoption of the
negro suffrage and the radical programme
by that bodv, but uould not even get his
resolu'ionl In edgewise- The Convention
would noLlisten to him, hut shut him off
by the previous question, and then en
dorsed President Johnson and his policy,
and glorified these public men who ap
prove the President’s course, never so
much as alluding to Mr. Chase. This is
rather rougL treatment fur Mr. Chase io
his own Htate,and shows conclusively that,
has soon more of tbo negro than any of unless bis friends organize the party which
.u_ —»•— * . * u - —»-•* i, e requested them to do, he has no parts
tho others. Eoine of the radicals are try
Ing to get uii it feeling against Gen .Shar
by arguing that lie is re p uisiblu for
sentiment Thus there are all man
ner of combinations, and wheel* within
whom*, operaticg upon the question ot
tbo hour.
Pat-doll uud Amnesty,
To the curious the following form of the
pardon gran'ed by the President to tnose
who make special application therefor,
and bava boon refused amnesty in bis pro
clamation, may be interesting. We copy
it trom the New York Sun :
"Whereas, — by tub* ig part in the
!ntc rebellion against the Government of
rhe (Jolted States, has made him-elf liable
to many pains and pen»jlt e», nnd where
as, Die efre urn stances of nls case render
him a poper object of executive dorotney :
Now. therefore, br it known that I, An
drew Johnson, President, do hereby
grant to the said - - ■ ■ a full pardon and
amnesty for all offences by him commit
ted, arising from participation, direct or
implied, in tho said rebellion, conditioned
a* follows, vir This pardon to begin and
take effect from the day on which the said
**hall take the oath prescribed in
tho proclamation of thn President dated
May 2^, 1%;*, and to bo void end of no
effect if the said shall hereafter at
nny timo ncquirc any property whatever
in -laves, or make u«o of slave labor.”
The folio - ing is a copy of the oath ad-
ministered to th« officers (and we presume
member*.! of the Virginia Legislature,
wbieh may also ho acceptable and inter
esting to tho curious among our reader*:
"1 do solemnly sw^ar (or affirm) that k
will nipport the C onstitution of the Uni
ted Unites and the laws made in pursu
ance thereof, nw liie supreme law of the
land, anything in the Conntitntion and
law* ot tho Ntnlo of Virginia, or in the

of promoting tbo tnmo.

have to emigrate to Heston. But it ap
pear* that tne would be modern Athens is
the paradise of the Jacobins. There they
can rant and seold, make facet, utter
threats end denunciations, incite Insurrec
tion, inaugurate revolution, stir up muti
ny against our military authorities. Uy
the foundation fbr a war of races, and find
a congregation that will applaud, it mat
ters not bow treasonable may bo the ut
terances of the speaker*.
This Faneuil Hall meeting was some
thing more than a mere political assem
blage; it was a revolutionary and Insur
rectionary meeting, as much as was tho
secession meeting In Charleston before
the war, or the coppnrbead convocation In
ibis city soon after the war comrnenetd.
Like these, IU objects were the defeat of
the administration and the overthrow of
iu poliny,as they term it, while we are in
a state of war. That It was treasonable In
its character the language of the speakers
fully attest*. One oil he orators, after ar
guing in favor of universal negro suffrage,
declared, M lf we do not seqpro that now,
it can naver be except by a new revolu
tion—thus threatening anothor revolution
itnless the negroe* of the South wers giv
en the right of tho elective franchise.—
But, to rnako his point still stronger, he
a*ks, “Do you want to see them (negroes)
submit forever, and not rise for their
rights ?” and then, by wav of a clincher,
ndds, “If thoy nover get their rights, or
got them by a now revolution, it will be
In either orent onr fhiilt,” ('onid impu-
•irnen go fuither 7 Can rank <ltaufiio/u*U
or even Southern traitor* say more 7
Those sentences, which are only a few
among the many, are sufficient to stamp
tho whole affair with treason of the rank
ed kind. IIodor all thi« revolutionary
talk sat Senator Pommy, the right hand
man of Chase, and when called upon,
publicly endorsed every word and gate it
his hearty approval. Now, we have
learned many sad lessons during onr elv-
11 war. If there is anything whioh the
evenU of the last four year* have demon
strated and proved, it i* the detriments
the public service in allowing the North
ern secessioni#U to hold their meetings in
our rnidst. EvenU have forcible shown
that they aided and strengthened the re
bellion, prolonged the war, and, in fact,
prepared by their teaching and practico
one of their pwn class for the assassination
of our Prosidont. Tho Norlhorn copper
head Feccsfionists aided the rebellion, and
did it moro service than if they had
shouldered the muskot and entered the
robel armies. The radical Jacobins, now
that the rebellion is crushed, are only imi
tating the plan of the copperheads, and
aim not only to prolong the contest, but
to inaugurate a social war. Dotween tho
two factions thoy will bring the oountry
to bankruptcy and ruiu If allowed to pur
sue their courso uuinolestod. We have
soon tbo evils of permitting the copper
heads to carry out thoir scuernos, and tho
President owes it to the country to arrest
and incarcerate these Faneuil Hail Jaco*
bins—orator Beecher, Daua and Potnroy
included. No matter if tho latter is a
United titales Konator; so was Davis,
Benjamin, and numerous other leaders,
when thoy commenced spouting troason.
Had thoy been arrested when they defied
the government in tho Senate, the rebel
lion might have boon nipped In the bud ;
so with this new revolution and social war
which Jacobins are trying to inaugurate.
A few months' imprisonment of the load
ers In one of our forU, with a bard tack
diet, will break up this insurrection, and
save tho country a vast amount uf trouble
and treasure.—A. Y. Herald.

LAW AND ORDER.
Charge of Jwlge U. A. Lnchraite lo the
Gratia Jury of Ilifdi County; at the May
term of the Circuit Court, 1866.
Gentlemen of tho Grand Jury:. You
aro oonvenod (.bis morning under ciroum-
stances wblth invite your nttentiou to in
terests ' incomparably the most extensive
and important that over engaged the pub
lic mind. With all the element® of (so
ciety loosening beneath your foot, and all
the pillars of ino social public tottering,
you. a* representatives of tho civil order,
aro loft standing by virtue of powers in
herited from tho g-ent fountain of tho
coiniuou law, nnd flowing from ibo sovo
reiguty of the Statu; power* which have
neither boon ucquircd or impaiied by the
convention* or tHo legislative enactment*
of the lari four yours. In Junuarv, 1801,
in a published legal argument, I held llmt
tho odffiVculitm of Georgia “wan not abso-
lut# mhr all rights; that all nrU of c«*n-
voptkMM outside the constitutions of tho
Slot** demanded tho people’* bunctlon;”
tliat “tbo sovereignty of thq people had
boon dWided, it* proper sphere* aligned,
Itx bsc4« of action directed by thu conpii-
aguiit* uf tbu juternal soyervighly, aud a
convention called to rnt-umo the exteruul
sovereignty had no power to change, ultor,
amend or iuiiiair tlieig.”
This view 1 held when thu first drops pf
tho storm of war wore falling upon us,
and I reiterate thorn to-duv, und therefore
regard you convened and this court in
session by virtue of legal aud constitu
tional right, under powers that aro inhe
rent in the constitutional functions of the
.State.
Tbo question ns to whether there is a
constitutional officer to co-operate with
you in transacting the businoss ia one
which tho delicacy of my position de
mands l shall neitnor raise nor adjudge,
(or I do not conui here to hold court, hi*
to moot you and put the machinery in or-
dor.
ln occupj’ing this sent I cannot refra n
from looking hack to the incasing r.-la
lions wo hnvo borne in the past. KJovatud
to tho donch at the outset of the war, it
lias been my fortune to hold the scales of
juslico at a time when every prejudice of
the public mind w<is Mating wiib discord;
public questions involving she most ex
citing public interests were continually
beforo mu, and to Imvo given judgments
satisfactory to all was morn inmi I could
have expected. I can omy trustthal those

functions of thn country. The voice of
family, country ana posterity appeal* to
every ono who hold* a plum in th« organi-
7.itlion of power to bring back, with cor
dial co-operation, the guardians of tho
public weal, fo heal fho wounds, compose
tho dissontionr. and restore the liberty of
the people. "JWon (orinthum" wa* the
remark of Cicero, when toa« hing the
principle! of morality to his son Marcus,
illustrating thnt to bo groat, wo must for
got the sensitiveness and selfishness of
weak men, and with an ascension of rea-
son riso up to tho level of great occasions.
Wo can odruiro tho poetry of feeling that
lovos a catiso with all the idolatry of a
mistress; but the pah*ion in not so lofty as
tho reasoning and steady affection of a
wife. Wo may go too lar, and when we
Jose sight of our own best interests, and
involve the futuro in disasters, we do go
too fur.
Love of country is evidenced |»y acts
which confer honor, prosperity nnd peace
upon tbe land; acts pf wild and romantic
folly,- resulting in crime, to servo a ooun
try, cvidoncos fanaticism. Like tho hus
band growing drunk toasting his wife,
who at home weepa lor hi* return, i* the
love of country somo give, who never did
aught but talk, and who*e sentiment, like
the toast of tho drunken husband to his
wife, bring* only teats and trouble. t)n
this occasion, gentlemen, I speak my
honest conviction to you when 1 *ay every
man must put down, by example Hnd by
counsel, ovory motion of discontent, pro
ducing bickering, strife and bloodshed,
and evorv ono bo a peace officor, acting
ou tbo determined purpose that ovury
man wbo violates law, or counsel* vio
lation, shall suffer the penalty such disor-
gani/.or in times like these should *ulUr.
This is the love of country 1 enjoin upon
you. Now, when thu war in over, and
everything tends to peace, lot u* have it
and go to our peaceful pursuits in life.
Somo may think that liberty of speech has
become a mockery,if men aru not allowed
to abuso and talk as they please. This
matter haa always in practice been misuo^
dorstood. The liberty of reason and ma
nia aru not more distinct. The madman
does os ho pleases, but it doos not follow
that every sensible in all may uct like be
was mad ; tbo law re.-Unio* evuu passion.
Vituperative opitheU on public men are
not evidences of liberty of speech ; offi
cials aro representative men embodying
the dignity und representing the power of
position, and thoffioutpountig* of disap
pointment and malice rhould be restrain
ed. Liberty of opinion doe* not ooii#i*l
in conceptions of hate which runkle into
crimp. Opinions ripening into acts must
ba tn view of law, pact!!c~-and .olttrance
in opinion is one ot iJsn elements of nonce,
men may differ, like Polybius aud rimy,
upon every subject, moral, soeial and re
ligious, and rmiuin, like tnein, the warm
eel aud most duvutud fr nds.
When weave tbs present condition ot
our people, we aro forced to utur our
earnest convictions against all crimination
and recrimination, L j* not to t>e hoped
that the leaching, education and training
of an age can be thrown aside in an n<>ui,
or that a man can shake off his opinions
liku apples from a tree, fne-e opinion*
may roiuaiu, nay, will remain. The rea
son and judgment, however, of me peo
ple, will sue the necessity of subordina
ting them to the crisis. Ameliorations ot
eondillon may exist without systems ot
violence, aud our reflection leaches that
liberty consists not in aostmetions, but
equalities—equalities political, civil and
religious; equalities order, based on
the respect of ml I aud each. The practice,
must take the place ot theory, and coon-
oy the place of politics.
We lcara by egperieoce, that a too
overweening estimate cf one's self or
couoiry, may produce pride and obstina
cy, and that these, either in nations or in
dividuals, generally end in concession. In
our condition, however, I do not appro-
bend that pride will be nny obstaolu m tbe
path ot progress. But yet much has been
achieved for history, taucb (or poetry to
twine its arms of song around, much for
glory la the future. Toe world vrill tec*
ognise the grandeur of tble nation, its
fcf (tit *»><* ‘he $yum qf foreign
princes, and its flag wave over the desti
nes of our race.
Hut with the**, the people reduced to
povorty, must sco the spirit in whioh their
interests are to bo protected, before we can
unticipAto either prido or enthusiasm. Tba
institutions of tho land will be re-orgnn-
itod, the constitutions of the 6tMee chan
ged, and in the policy foroshadowed by
tho Prosidont of tbo United States, the
tnnstos of tho pcoplo will hnvo a voice in
fixing nnd settling thoir own rights and
destiny. Tho wisdom of the heart, and
the logic of necessity, will counsel their
action. Though now tossod upon the
waves, wo trust soon to see tbe Dove over
tho wasto of waters, coming with broken
wing ugain to shelter in tho Ark, and tbe
Ktato, launching forth to a new destiny,
will curry tbo freighted hopes and prayers
of tho peoplo.
Clearod for action in tho field of indus
try and onterpriso, Georgia will soon ro-
lutno her position, and wealth and pros
perity pour again into her lap. The na
tion ts young—tho dews of its baptism
scarce wet upon its forehead—and we look
to u manly etrido over tho troubles of the
past, and an un weariod march to prosper
ity. Our field* will soon resound with
tbo hum of industry, our anvil* ring with
tho music of labor, our people won back
to peaceful pursuits by family associa
tions, and the influence* of religion give
a now impetus to civilization; and undor
tho inspiration of fortune, the nation
plume itself and arch it* neck for a flight
to itnmortality. Such, I trust, will bo our
destiny, counselled Uy "wisdom, justice
and moderation," and may Goa in hi*
infinite mercy send angel* to lift every
shadow from our path to the destiny that
awaits us.
My prayer for tho country is the invo
cation of my heart, for you have honored
mo; and with Georgia, a* I would have
shared her glory, I will remain to share
her fa to. To ait by her sick bod, is a duty
tbo instinct ofriionor prompts. To coun
sel her for prosperity, the instinct of rea-
•on equally demands. I would be untrue
to duty, mypelf end you, if 1 permitted
pride to blend with my counsels, or freeze
tho stream of eonvjrti n thnt fl *ws from
the inmost rocessns of my soul.
