TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1873.
Laht night n resolution, looking to the
improvement of tho navigation of the
Chattahoochee was offered by Captain
Blanchard in Council. This movomont
ahould be pushed, and every means used
to attract the attention of the National
Government to this most necessary en
terprise. Let overy interested man in
the State put his shoulder to the wheel,
and we are confident this much to be dql
aired measure will carry.
THE ORANOERN. t
Mr. W. J. Gordon one of the ablej
youug orators in tho State of Alabama)^
and the deputy of the Third Congression-'
al district, will address the citizens of Gi
rard and vioinity on Thursday, the 11th
inst. Tho grangers in this city and the
farmers who can muke it convenient,
should be on hand with their wives sis.
tors and sweethearts. Mr, Gondon
thoroughly posted on the subject and
alive to the best interests of the farmers
of the land. Again wo say let the men
who own the land rule it.
URANT AND STEPHENS
Wo aro just as ready as the fire eater of
the Savannah News, who is a Yankee by
birth, to growl at Grant when we think
he makos a mistake, and we aro ton thou
sand times more ready to applaud him
when ho does a generous act, and thero
aro many such in his record. Wo think
Grunt is a better aoldior than “Aloe” Ste
phens, and we know “Alec” Stephens is a
better uoholar and statesman than Grant.
To use tho common vulgarism of the
editor of tho Savannah News,
have “pooled” our eye to watch Ste
plious, and wo have tho groatost*faith
in his ability and his power to do
good to his section. Somehow it thrilled
us when Congress voted him a special
seat and assigned a page to take charge of
tho noble old man’s orutehes. Stephens
needs to bo noar tho Speaker’s stand, for
his voice is weak, and his physical frame,
never strong, is daily waning. But the
faintest word he utters in that grand hall
at Washington will bo taken up, and in
clearest syllables it will echo in evory
home, botween the great oceans, in tho
Republic. It will kill out prejudice, aid
men with hungry oars will drink in tho
words of tho prophet of the war, and
bury thoir prejudice us they hasten to do
justice to a glorious land and
bravo aud noblo-hoartod people.—
Stephens very properly called on the
President, and he was too infirm to
mouut the stopB loading to the ofilce of the
Chief Executive. But the Chief Exeou
tivo learned the groat Georgian was there
and he ordored a parlor thrown open for
bis reception on the first floor, and he
loft the hundreds in waiting to como
down nud soe the skoleton in body and
giant in brains from Georgia, and ho laid
aside tho orutehes that he might tho hot
ter grasp tho hand of tho ox-Vico Presi
dent of tho Confederacy. “A little thing,
the whiners who nevor fought may say,os
they turn to ridicule au incident replete
with feeling, and Ailed with bodings of
good. Yos, it is “a little thing,” but we
pray for more incidents of the same
kind, aud it will rejoice our soul to ohron-
iolo tho growing togother by little threads
of the severed heart of the nation.
MPA1N.
Sickles lias resigned, and we are sorry
for it. We never loved Dan with a fitting
enthusiasm; never thought he was a god
in words or a boro iu war, and wo rather
hopefi tho mob in Madrid would make a
martyr of him, and give us the chanco to
make his name u battle ory. But he has
resigned, and all our consultations of Ap-
pletou for his biography, and the tip-top
obituary we wrote aro now consigned to
the waste baskot, on top of a score of po
ems as truthful and natural ns his life.
Dau has loft the Court of the Dou, not
because he was not satisfied with the na
tion that gave him his second wife, but
ho was dissatisfied with the Govern
ment that gnve hitn his life, after
ho lmd taken another man's to vin
dicate his houor, tarnished by a wife,
whom ho subsequently took to his heart.
This is all right, and we havo no word of
censure to offer to Dan Sioklos. lie has
a right to bis tastes, and perfect liberty
to be what he is ; yet wo cannot help
thinking he was not tho proper person to
represent this country iu Spain or nuy
other place, aud we are glad he has re
signed. llis resignation will not affect
the present unsettled condition of affairs,
ouo wny or tho othor. Wo wish it could
have n peaceful influence, if it has any.
Our dispatches show that Castelar holds
his position by tho very frailest tenure
and it iB highly probable tlmt before the
New Year coiuor, the death knell
of Republicanism will bo sounded in
Spain aud a regency will bo established
for Dou Alfouso, or a monarchy with Don
Carlos at the head. Such an event will
bo tho direct result of the Fish-Polo pro
tocol, and consequently a throwing down
of tho gauntlet to tho United States, who
is anxiously waiting, despite her peace
protestations to pick it up. If the mon
archical party get iu power it does not
mean peace to Spain, but rathor a con
tinuance of the struggle on her own soil,
for tho Republican party, that holds Cas-
tolar iu power, is strong, determined
and right, ami they will bat
tle to the bitter end. Cuba
in the mean time is acting iu tho Virgiu-
ius matter under protest, and intimations
come that she will not submit to the
greement made by tho Spanish Minister,
but prefers to fight it out. The American
Government appreciates the condition of
uffairs, and to-day with ten-fold energy
the arsenals and navy yards are preparing
f § war by land aud sea. Tho events now
presented have been hoped for for years,
and tho United States while willing to
abide by the laws of nations aud anxious
to help Castela, is more willing to
enforce the Monroe doctrine, and break
the last hold which old Spain has on the

v—The following comment of thpr.Au

We havo the authority of the New York

to the Chief Justiceship was received, one
momber of tho Supreme Court, asking
another what he thought of it, was an-
swored with, “Thank God it is not Aker-

—The Griffin News of Sunday induces
its readers to laugh over tho following
rich inoidouf: Tho following incident is
too good to bo lost, and as it will bo tho
more enjoyed by giving names, wo can
not resist the temptation, assuring them it
is all done in the interest of fun:
Col. Wingfield, who is as full of life as
men got to bo, was making au offort to
break his littlo son of tho habit of visit-
tiug bis son-in-law’s residence aftor night,

havn’thada dollar iu a month,” and he
rocognizod the voice as that of Dr. Dar-
