An IiimiM.
u a well-bred man will not insult me,
no other can.” The term insult has
been greatly perverted from its primi¬
tive meaning, and is now wrongly ap¬
plied to trivial circumstances, which,
though improprieties are not strictly in¬
tuits.
The insulting party is guilty of im¬
politeness, hence ’tis well remarked, a
well-bred gentleman, one who has good
home influences thrown around him,
who feels the magic power of refine¬
ment and true courtesy, will never, by
Word or action, intentionally insult, or
even wound the feelings of any one ;
Then if a boorish, irascible man taunts
and berates a true person, the irate one
can only injure himself—he cannot in¬
sult the one at whom he flings his vile
vulgarities. If a dog harrasses you by its
barking, or a wasp pierces you with its
sting—though ea h may be unpleasant,
yet there is no harm done except a mo¬
mentary one.
Insults are rarely ever offered except
by words, so if harsh things are said the
person whom th M y concern, should re¬
member his early training, recall the
teachings of his Savior, and govern his
temper, tongue and conduct. Though
the world may call a quiet receiving of
vulgar ep’thets—cowardice, yet Christ’s
example should be followed. Do your
duty to man and God—remember your
high calling, defend your prerogative—
do right because it is right, then no one
can insult you—and all can cry out and
•ay of you—“ This was a man.”

For the ILu.oock lournal.
Mr. Editor :
I see by your Journal that there is
one who signs himself Inquirer , who
wishes to know if it is best, considering
the unsettled state of affairs, to marry
or not to marry. I would advise him
to marry, for it is just in such unsettled
times that we ueed the help and en¬
couragement that a Wife , aud a Wife
alone can givo-—and man is never com¬
plete until he has a wife, and if we will
commence with the name of Benjamin
Franklin, and after his life, review the
lives of other great men who have fig¬
ured in the history of America they
all attribute their greatness to the fact
that they had wives to aid and encour
age them. * Inquirer* tells us that the
Scriptures tell us to marry, and give a
good reason for it—what more does he
want, to influence him, and that good
reason taken from Holy Writ? And
then for him to quote what Paul says:
He that marries doeth well, &c.
For my part, Mr, Editor, I intend to
be content with doing well, (i. e.) if
getting married will accomplish It. The
Bible says Solomon was the wisest man
the world ever produced, and Solomon
was a married man, which to my miud,
proves cone usively, that he was a real
sensible man. Marriage is a Divine In¬
stitution ordained by God Himself, and
when God made Adam, and gave to him
the whole world to possess, God saw
that there was something wanting, aud
that something was Woman! the same
something needed so badly by Inquirer.
Inquirer says that Jordan is a hard road
to travel alone, and wants to know how
it will be with another. Everybody
knows that Jordan is a hard road to
travel, and everybody knows that a two
horse team pulls better than one, and
hoping that Inquirer and his friends may
find some of ’Earth’s Angels’ to help
them pull through life.
I remain an unreconstructed Johnny
Reb, and a believer in two teams.
For the Jouriia'.
Athens, Ga, April, 1870:
Dear Journal
Once again I am at the old College!
The bright, intelligent faces of the Stu¬
dents speak forcibly to the observer of
well-fought literary conflicts, and well
earned scholastic victory. The young
gentlemen are orderly in their deport¬
ment, strictly attentive to their college
duties, and courteously quiet and polite
in their manners.
The Cumpu* is kept in the neatest
order; - well arranged walks ami nicely
trimmed trees evince industry suit ener¬
gy on the part of,the Faculty. The
very air seems fraught with sweetness*
which intermingles with the arts and
sciences, and gives a classic appearance
to everything round.
New names strike my ear. now fares
my gaze, but some of the old lun
are still in Athens, and ong dnt
look upon them, recalling the scenes
the ‘‘Long ago,'* and live again in
Auld Lang Syne.”
I was shown a new “ Gas Generator,”
which has recently been patented, (not
the tongue ot a Sophomore, or the brain
of a Junior) but a cheap and excellent
method of producing gas from Naphtha,
which, when lighted, gives forth a rich
mellow light, surpassing the light from
the coal gas. No danger attends the use
of it, if care is taken in placing the
Naphtha in the receptacle.
A young chemist friend, who has won
great reputation from so e of his chem¬
ical compounds, carried me through his
neat laboratory, aud kindly slipped into
my satchel some of his extracts—
Kindness wins my heart, and with
sincerity I can exclaim .
Dear old Athens, w,- mart part—
Givu, oh, give no- back my heart!
Good night, a Royal good time to you

THK HANCOCK WEEKLY JOUKN\L
'flie Bingham Amend went.
Center Shots by Senator "Thurman.
Will the Senator from Michigan ad¬
mit that* a majority of the electors in
the State of Georgia are opposed to the
Radical party ? Does the Senator from
Michigun then propose to reject the
provision of the Constitution of Georgia
that makes them voters ? Then, it I
understand the logic of my friend it is
this: the Constitution of Georgia gives
to a body of men who are a majority in
that State, the right to vote; those men
are opposed, as my friend says, even to
the Government of the United States ;
my friend is not willing that they shall
have control of affairs in Georgia ; but
he does not propose to touch the Con¬
stitution, but simply to give the minori¬
ty jf the electors under that Constitu¬
tion the rule and dominion over rhe ma¬
jority. If a majority of the electors in
Georgia are of the disloyal character as¬
cribed to them by the Senator from
Michigan, and the object of the Consti¬
tution was to put down the disloyal and
Ku Klux Klan, how came it that that
Constitution was adopted by so large a
majority ?
Wilson’s Amendment proposes to de¬
clare that the present Legislature ol
Georgia shall hold office until November
1872. The Senator admits that it was
elected for a term that would ex ire in
November, 1870, and he further admits,
that under the Constitution of Georgia,
it has no right whatever to prolong its
existence.
It follows, then, inevitably, if the
Senator from Massachusetts is right, that
the Legislature, if prolonged until 1872
as he proposes, will have its term ex¬
tended simply by act of Congress, that
its term will have no foundation in the
Constitution of Georgia; that it will
derive no title to hold its office under
the Constitution of Georgia: that its
sole right to make laws binding the peo
pie of Georgia will be an act of the
Congress of the Uniled States; and that,
too, after Georgia shall have been fully
restored to her relations with the Union.
Now, I put it to the Senator from
Massachusetts where does he find any
such authority as that ? Where does
ue find, first in the Constitution of the
United States, any authority for Con¬
gress to declare what shall be the term
of a State Legislature ? Or next, if he
goes to what seems to be in this cham¬
ber far higher and more sacred than the
Constitution of the United States, the
much lauded reconstruction acts, where
does he finu in any one of them the idea
that after the relations of a Sta e to the
Union are fully restored by the admis¬
sion of the Senators and Representatives
in Congress, then Congress can inter¬
meddle with her local atlairs and pre¬
scribe the term of her Legislature, nay,
extend the term of the Legislature two
years beyond that for which it was
elected f Sir, your reconstruction acts,
had as they are in principle, bad as they
have been in their effects, never went
so far as that. I ask any Senator who
believes that I am in error to point out
one line of the reconstruct! n acts which
asserts the pow er of Congress to extern!
the duration of the term of office in any
State after that State been fully restorer
to l.er relations with the Union.
There has been nothing of the kind.
On the contrary, it has been admitted
again and again by the Senator from
Michigan, who has just taken his seat,
and it has been admitted by him in the
remarks he has just submitted to the
Senate, that the moment the State is re :
stored to her relations to the Union
that moment she stands on an equal
footing with every other State in the
Republic. That, then, is the first dif¬
ficulty with the proposition of the Sena¬
tor from Massachusetts. But the Sena¬
tor from Michigan seeing that difficulty,
and searching around for something up
on which to base the proposition of the
Senator from Massachusetts, thinks he
has found it in the 1 Ith section ol the
l lth article ol the constitution of Geor¬
gia itself. That section reads thus :
“Should this constitution be ratified
by the people, aud Cungress accept the
same with any qualifications or condi
tions, the government hereinafter pro¬
vided for any the officers elected shall
nevertheless exist and continue in the
exercises of their several functions as
the government of this State, so far as
this same may be consistent with the
action of the United States in the pre
mises.”
Th« Senator from Michigan places
this most extraordinary construction
upon this section : that it was intended
to authorize Congress to change the
Constitution of the State ; nay, not only
.I . Confess ,, might ■ . prescribe
that this
g* 3 e.ll>, >l|,»ll hold ,
office ^ for f 4 four years. If Congress can
do ithold that, Congress might prescribe that
Officelor kmy years ur fur
life, and that the Governor and all other
officer* uieaninl may hold office for life. Is it
the ol that section that Con
gress should make a Constitut.on for the
State of Georgia Lid. f speaker Was itiiurended \ Ig JZ bv
this section,
accepting the Constitution with uuali- I
ficaiions or conditions, to say that Coin
gross might make a new t mistitution
out and out; might make the term of
office of the General Assembly 4 years
instead of 2. or 20 instead of 2; that
the Governor’s term might be extended
for elected life i that the judiciary might be
or appointed in some other way
than that provided by this Constitution ?
Was that the meaning of it?
And what is the excuse of the Sena¬
tor from Massachusetts for perpetuating
the pow« r of the present Legislature of
Georgia ? Why, that it was guilty of
that horrible crime of turning negroes
out and of seating the minority candi¬
dates! Let me tell the Senator from
Massachusetts that of the men who turn¬
ed the negroes put. more than seventy
are members of this present Legislature,
holding their seats now ; and for that
act, which he considers an an act of such
atrocity, he proposes to reward them
by giving them a lease of power two
years longer ! Let me tell him, further,
that ot the present members of the Leg¬
islature there are fifteen or sixteen, I
believe, who wt re minority candidates,
and who are, therefore, seated in the
present Legislature by just such a de
moralizing act, just such an atrocity as
that of which the Senator so eloquently
complained last December; and now
the reward which the Senator from
Massachusetts proposes to grant those
men thus illegally seated, men who
never were elected at all, men who hold
their seats by a plain and flagrant vio¬
lation of the Constitution and the law,
is to give them a lease of power for two
years longer!
1 grant that if Foster Blodgett present
i his credentials here’ whether this Legis¬
lature attempts to usurp power or not
we are bound to reject him because he
is nut chosen by tfie Legilature last elec¬
ted, in persuance of the constitution of
Georgia befo.e his term commences; and
whatever this Legislatu.e may do,
whether it attempts to perpetuate its
power by usurpation or whether it does
not, in either event if the Senate of the
United States is true to itself, to the
Constitution and the law, it is bound to
reject that man; aud God grant that it
may do so
But here is what I wish to call the
attention of my friends to : If this Legis¬
lature had already passed a law post¬
poning the election from November
next until 1872, and thus given to its
constitution an interprets 1 ion i hat wo id
moke it anti-republican in form, the
Senator will admit that v e who arc
bound to guaranty that iuferprttatidh
which makes it republican in form, and
without which it cannot be republican 4
in form, would he hound so interfere;
so that it is merely a question of time
and prudence.
