pdoan act that will surely result in

kme Radical and send representatives
t that political complexion to Wash-

ates restored, but reconstruction
(ill never be agreed to by the Radical
irty on any other terms. Of this we

Stay Law.—The Elberton Gazette of
the 27th says:
We learn that an important decision
upon the stay law has lately been made
by Judge Hutchins, of the Western Cir.
cuit, in a case in Banks county.
A plantiff in execution gave the sher
iff notice to raise the money. The
sheriff failed, and in answer to a rule
showed that he was forbidden by the
stay law to levy. Upon this showing,
His Honor held that the stay law con
travenes the Constitution of Georgia,
and the Constitution of the United
States, and is therefore void; but that
the sheriff, being merely a ministerial
officer, was excusable for obeying the
statute until'it was pronounced void by
competent judicial authority, and there
fore he declined to hold the sheriff lia
ble for his failure, provided he should
proceed to collect the debt within a
reasonable time after this decision.
This is the opinion of an able and ex
perienced jurist, and is entitled to
great respect. •
. A. Swindler.
The Orangeburg, South Carolina
limes gives the following caution to
freedmen. Having freed the negro
from his former master, his peculiar
friends seemed to think they have the
right to practice all sorts of impositions
upSn him:
We learn from a gentleman in St.
Matbews Parish, that a fellow calling
himself A. Stanfot, is* going through
the country collecting money from
persons of color ' and giving them in
return certificates for land, which he
says will be taken from the white peo
ple in about fifteen days, and delivered
to them. He represents himself as an
agent for the United- States Govern
ment'.
The following is a copy of one of his
certificates:
“This- day of April, 1867,1 have
paid to the pass of''the United States
the sum of |2 for value received in
land. By order of P. S. Sheadaler—

Gen. Pope’s Construction.
The Griffin Union (radical paper)
professes to have found out General
Pope’s construction of the scope of the
disfranchising clause of the Sherman
bill. It says:
“Knowing that Gen. Pope had the
right to construe the law for himself,
and that his construction would bind
everybody, we felt anxious to know,
and sought the first opportunity, after
learning that he had moved his head
quarters to Atlanta, to learn,- if possi
ble, what construction he puts Upon
the law, and are disfranchised accord*
ing to his construction. We there*
fore wrote to a friend in Atlanta, and
received in reply what we deemed a
semi-official declaration of his oonstruc- (
tion; which is, that all: officers or per
sons who held positions Connected with
the judicial department of a State »ov-
eramenl, such as lawyers, clerks, sher
iffs, coroners, and the mayor# and al
dermen of cities where their charters
declare them ex-officio justices of the
peace, as well as-judges and justices of
the peace, are included in the term
judicial officers; and if a man held and
exercised any one of those offices or po
sitions, and took an oath as such to
support and defend the Constitution,
and afterwards got his own free will
and consent to throw off the Govern
ment of the United States lor the sake
of the Southern Confederacy, he is dis
franchised by the law, But even if a
man did hold one of these offices be
fore the war, and did - nothing of his
own free will and accord to throw oft
the United States Government, he is
not disfranchised.”
Important,
The paragraph below comes from
Washington: '
One of the main objects of General
Ord’s visit to Washington was to con
fer with Gen. Grant in regard to his
authority to set aside certaiu late laws
of the Arkansas Legislature, which he
deems a hindrance to the smooth work
ing of the reconstruction law. As the
result of the ihteryiew it is understood
that Gen. Grant is engaged in prepar
ing a general order of instructions to
District commanders under the milita
ry .bill, in which he will define their
duties and powers regarding the class
of laws in question. He is opposed to
giving his subordinates -the authority
asked by Gen. Ord.
This is important information, and
it is to be hoped that the order referred
as being prepared by Gen. Grant, will
reach the public at an early day. The
wording of the military bills passed
by Congress is plain and distinct
enough, and yet there seems to be a
general misapprehension of the true
scope and meaning of their provisions.
Whap Does it Mean?—We observe,
says the Macon Telegraph, that Gover
nor Brown and others of that ilk are
stumping it through the State in favor
of re-organization under the -Sherman
bill, while the State herself, through
her constituted authorities, deny that
the bill is law and is now engaged in
procseuting the issue before the Supreme
Court, with the prospect of an early de
cision. Such a courts is in contempt
of all respect due the State authorities
and of common decency. Anxious as
are these men to get up a political
party auxiliary to the Black Republir
cans and with the negro vote as a basis,
common sense and decorum would
seem to dictate tbat they suspend all
action until the Supreme Court shall
have been hoard from, unless they in
tend to set the solemn judgment of
that august tribunal, if in favor of the
South, at defiance. Suppose it should
render a favorably decision, where will
these agitators stand ? They will occu
py one of two positions, viz: that of
openly advocating and invoking upon
their fellow citizens and odious, oppres-
live and degrading measure before it is
ascertained to be law, or an attitude
of rebellion against the law. In Heav
en’s name, stop the ill-timed and de
moralizing foolery!
A Solid Shot.—The New York Ex
press says:
It is a suggestive fact that Radical
orators who are now overrunning, the
South, angling for the freedmen’s votes,
belong to n class that took good care to
keep away from the South when volun
teers were wanted up here to go there
to put down the rebellion. Senator
Wilson is one of that class. Wilson
raised a regiment, it .is true, but some
how or other, he never got “to the
front” with it.
If the real fighting men, on both
sides, could be got together—re-union
in fact, as well as in name, would be
the result; hut if demagogues are thus
let tojrun loose, peace andjharmonyjwill
never bo restored.
Correspondents of toe Agricultural
Department in the Southern States.—
The list of regular correspondents of
the Department of Agriculture now
numbers seven thousand five hundred,
and this number* is daily being aug
mented by the addition of names of
farmers in .the Southern States who
have consented to furnish the Depart
ment with statistical information from
their respective localities. It is the
intentibn of the Commissioner to ob
tain, if possible, a correspondent in
every country of the South, and an
agent is now traveling in that section
for the purpose of securing the assis
tance of the most reliable and best-
posted men in those States.
Toadyism.—If there is one weakness
of human nature more contemptible
than another, it is that which; prompts
us, for place or favor, to cringe and
fawn around our superiors. It exhib
its a want of brains—a want of firm
ness and self-respect. Again, it pro
duces in the mind of our superiors a
consciousness of our weakness, and a
spirit mingled with pity and contempt.
The exhibition of this foible lowers our
estimate of our race, and produces a
feeling of distrust in the . integrity of
mankind.
During our recent visit to Atlanta,
we were humiliated to see men of
whom we had expected better things,
bowing and smiling, and cringing, and
ready to promise anything to gain an
interview with Gen. Pope. While we
respect and shall reverence Gen. Pope
as our ruler, and render, strict obedi
ence to all hi3 behests; yet we cannot
ignore our self-respect to that degree,
which would permit us to flatter and
fawn around him, and, as many have,
express a great gratification that be is
here among us. It woul-i be a false
hood, and Gen. Pope, a man of sagaci
ty as he is; could read it in our coun
tenance, as he does in these patronizing
place-seekers who constantly annoy
iim.
General Pope acknowledges tbat the
cause which brings him amonge cs is
as distasteful to him as it is oppressive
to us. He readily and justly concludes
that those who hang around his room,
and dog his footsteps, have “axes to
grind,” and lie disposes of them with
an air altogether becomeing a high
toned officer. He has no more respect
for these vaporing patriots and brawl
ing philanthropists, who would freely
barter their country—their race—their
own souls for the profit of an office,
than he has for the poodle at his feet. It
is a reproach upon our common hu
manity, that men bankrupt of sdl virt
uous reputation—men who v° u ld flat
ter old Satan himself, for the smile of
his patronage, and crouch at the feet
of a despot to obtain favor and place—
who would lower their kindred to the
level of the ignofant aud Vicious—
should seek to control the destinies of
brave, but fallen people^ “Oh,

“Blusli I Blnsli J Thou Lump of Foul
1 Deformity!”
The party which is springing ' up;in
Alabama for the purpose of giving the
State to the Black Republican party at
the next Presidential election are ap
pealing to the people to denounce our
dead heioes as criminals. They ask us
to join .with 'them in, damoing the latest
posterity the memory of our sons and
fathers, who, at the call of the State,
laid down their lives in a fruitless en
deavor to avert the calamities which
have betallen us. They are linking
arms with the party which advocated
the scourge of our land with fire and
blood, the burning of our peaceful
homes; the outraging of the sanctity
of the fireside and in the name of the
law, of violating and continuing to
violate; the Constitution of the United'
States. There was a. party , at the
North whiph protesosted against the
horrors of Black Repgblican waifare.
That party desired to suppress the rev
oiution, and at the same time restore
the rights of the people under the law.
That party is to-day battling manfully
and succtesfiilly against the violence of
a lawless Congress. Yet we find South
ern men protesting agains; their labors,
and preferihg to rush into the em
brace of that other party whose march
through the Southern, States was mark?
ed by sacked cities, desolated homes,
starving matrons and weeping virgins.
We could have endured to see these
violatoreof all law, human, and divine,
strike us to the earth as -conquerors
and plant their foot upon our neck;
but how can we endure to hear them
asking for our suffrages—asking us to
legalize tyranical measures, which can
never, become law without our voiunta-
ry approval 1 How can we hear, with
out covering the face for shame, men
of our own blood asking ns to reward
with an approving smile ' those whose
souls are stained with the infamies of
military law, and whose hands are red
with our own blood ? What shall we
say when we are asked by miserable
sycophants to sell onr votes to prop the
waning fortunes of the Radicals? Let
us turn to the lesson taught by the
great philosopher of the drama. When
the corpse of Henry VI was being car
ried to the tomb, escorted by Anno,
widow of the Prince of Wales, it was
stopped by the usurper, Richard III.
who wooed the Princess in. the pres
ence of the dead body of the father,
and while his hands were yet red with
the blood of her husband. As he
stopped the funeral procession, the
Princess stepped forward and said to
her attendants :—
What, do you tremble ! are you all afraid ?
Alas I blame you not; for you are mortal, .
And mortal eyes oanaot endure the Devil.
Araunt thou minister of hell;
Thou hadst but power over his mortal body:
His soul thou const not have; therefore be
gene.”
But Richard stayed and wooed her
with honeyed words; with promises and
flatteries, such as those witb which the
Radicals are now wooing Alabama; de
claring that after a while the decaying
carcass of the lion will be flowing with
the sweetest honey. The hunchback
succeeded in his purpose, for wealth,
power, flattery aud a regal coronet won
the day. The widow's weeds were laid
aside for the purple robe; and it was
thus that the usurper chuckled over his
triumph:
“Was ever woman in this humor wooed ?
Was ever woman in this humor.won ?
I’ll have her; but I will not keep her long. _
What! I that kill’d her husband and his
father,
To take her in her in her heart’s extremest
bate, .
With curses'in her heart, tears in her eyes,
The bleeding witness of her hatred by J

Another Meeting In Columbia, South
Carolina.
Columbia, April 29.—Another im-
jiertant meeting of whites and blacks
was held here to-day. It was largely
attended. Gov. Orr addressed them'in
a speech of an hours’ length, giving the
colored men advice as to their political
and.60cial duties, urging them that
they should at present attach them
selves to neither Democrat or Republi
can parly, but to meet and array them-,
selves upon the platform of a National
Union party, that could be occupied in
common by both races South and all
people North. He counseled modera
tion and patience, and promised that,
provided the negroes did their d-ity,
the people South would see them edu
cated and secured in all the reasonable
privileges of free men.
The committee on resolutions con-
’ is ted of thirteen, white and black. Tbe
platform is conservative, and was unan
imously adopted. It provides free
schools tor all children, and for the re
vision of the civil and commercial codes
of the South.
After adoption of the resolutions a
speech was made by Henry N. Turner,
colored, of Washington city. He said
he cared for no party, but simply de
sired the rights of his race,’ and would
adhere only to that organization which
assured them all the privileges of man
hood. He wished, obove all things, to
•ee a united South, for he felt satisfied
that notwithstanding the education of
the past, Southern gentlemen were the
best and truest friends of the negro.
Hon. Jas. G. Gibbes, ex-Mayor, fol
lowed with much good advice, referring
to the duties of the colored citizens,
and gave assurance of a cordial co-op
eration of the people io measures look-,
ing to their advancement. The meet
ing was also addressed by other citi
zens. Good feeling prevailed. Mixed
executive committee was appointed for
one year. Good results anticipated.

Fruits of Incendiary Teachings.
The tares, says the Richmond Times,
which a few debased and dishonored
outcasts from the society of their own
color have, for months past planted
amid the hot beds of negro passions and
prejudices are beginning to produce a
most abundant harvest of discontent,
insolence and bad blood. Attempts to
asserts social equality, which every
Virginian will resist to the last gasp,
have recently been made in this erty by
a few m .sguided blacks, under circum-
strnces which prove indisputably sn or
ganized movement among them to ac
complish their purposes. Street cars
have been invaded, conductors have
been resisted, the police have been me
naced, black ruffians have burled at
their late masters the epithet of '.‘reb
el,” and. “traitor," and negro mobs
have collected, as if at a concerted sig
nal, to]enforce their impudent demands.
Ail of these these things are the' pois
onous fruits of those vUe secret lessons
and public harangues which have been
uttered by a it class of incendiaries to
whose malignant influence all insurrec
tions and wars of races may be
traced.

•‘The Little Leaven that shall Leavens
the .whole Lump.”
No man can give any good reason
why the remarkable change that- has
come direr a section of tbe Union which
has ever been rioted for pertinacity oi
obiiiion, based updn a higher general
intelligence than that of any other
section, does not pervade the -country.
We saw and declared that the great
per centaee of Radical destructive loss
in New Hampshire ihdicated clearly
their overthrow in Connecticut. Nor
is it true that apathy tif Republican^ in
the latter State caused a falling off ef
nine thousand Radical votes, as stranger
ly stated in the Chicago Tribune. On
the contrary, the aggregate Tote was
greater than ever before. So it was al
so in New Hampshire. This was Caus
ed, probably, by the coming out of a
reserve of men largely interested in
business, or in the value of Govern*
ment and State securities. Such have
latterly too much abstained from Vot
ing. They constitute an element that
could have changed results even last

Editor Daily Opinion : I have visited
the counties of Early, Miller, Calhoun
and Decatur, and find the prospects of
tbe planters are favorable for a good
crop this coming season.
Owing to the scarcity of labor, they
have not been able to plant as exten
sively as last year. Tbe. cotton crop
this year will be less than * last. The
corn crop larger. ; r
So far, the freedmen, in this section
of the country, are working better than
last.
The citizens of Decatur are laboring
vigorously to raise money to complete
the Gulf railroad to this pretty little
town by October. Should; they succeed
in the accomplishment of their design,
ft will materially enhance tbe commer
cial importance of their town.
Business here, as elsewhere, is ex
ceedingly dull—money fearfully scarce.
Merchants and their clerks sit lazily at
ease around their doors, or loll upon
their counters.
The Superior. Court is in session, and
largely attended by lawyers and clients.

THF PEABODY FUND.
How It is to be Applied—Aid for
tile Common Schools In the South.
New York, April 19.—Dr, B, Sears
general agent of the Peabody educa
tional fund, has issued a circular giving
a detailed statement of the mode in
which the trustees of the fund propose
to apply the noble charity committed
to their charge. He says that ihe di
rect aim of the agent will be to encour
age arid aid the common schools in the
Spilth—'tbit is; schools established, sup
ported and superintended by the South:
orb people thetoselves. Apart from
this leading object, the founding and
miidtenanbe ofsbbools will riot borne
within his plan. Usually appropria
tions ih moderate amounts drill be made
where such schools are iahgulshing. or
are liable to bd suspended for want of
means of support. Similat aid will be
given if necessary in places without
schools wberiever tbe citizens will in
troduce them and undertake their sup
port; all such aid. however, i3 to be re
garded as temporary. Iri selecting
schools to be aided, or places to be sup
plied with theni. those will be preferred
in which the destitution is the greatest,
and where the nlimber to be benefitted
is the largest: The norrdal schools, or
Schools having normal departments,
will receive particular attention; a
small number of these furbishing Ihe
most perfect inode of iristriiclidh will be
considered as more important than a
special notice.
The Non-Explosive Petro Oil.
I have ori; hand, for sale, the above
article. This oil possesses merits far
superior to all other illuminating oils
now 1 in use. It is perfectly non-explo
sive; which will be demonstrated to all
who will call and see It is much
cheaper, and furnishes a clearer light
than kerosene. It emits little or no
smoke, aiid is free fr'om grease—can be
used in any kind of kerosene lamp.—
In short, it has all the advantages of,
and is entirelyTree from all objections
to the purest Kerosene oil; and is, be
yond all doubt, the best, safest, and
cheapest light for the family, the office
and the chtircb.
I have also, a portable'. lamp, which
burns without oil or chimney, for house
and kitchen work. It is far chea
per, safer arid more convenient
than candies, anil is truly
as there are no sparks, or: dripping os in
a candle; no danger of breaking or
spilling as m ordinary lamps of every
kind.
I have purchased ihe exclusive, right
to sell this oil in Floyd county, and
will be pleased to exhibit it to any and
every one atmydrng store, call and
see it tested for yourself.
I also offer to • sell ■ rights for other
counties in the State Any one wishing
to make inquiries fn reference to pur
chasing, will do well to write to me .at

THE CHINGAROM
ANTI NERVOUS
Smoking Tobacco
T HE Chingarora Tobacco grows from th®'
rich soil of the ‘•ORIENT,” and is pos
sessed of a peculiarly delicious flavor en
tirely unknown to the Tobaccos of all other ,
climes. But Its unprecedented popularity
has sprung from the fact of the entire, ab
sence of that deadly poison, Nidotin, which
permeates ovdry othifir tobacco, and Which is
the one and solo cause of thie distressing
nervous diseases; dyspepsia, Ac., which
most iavariably, sooner or later; follow the
indulgence of the pipe and cigar. At'th®'-
recent analyzatiqn of tobacco from all parts
of the world, at the Academy of Sciences, in
Paris, the renowned Cbeirfisfc, 31. Larnou-
reaux, declared that while European and.
American tobacco contained fully eight per
cent.-, and the purest Havana tobacco front
two to fire per cent, of Nicotin the Chinga-'
rora did not contain one discoverable par
ticle ot that deadly poison, a drop of which
extracted; will destroy Ute.
Our Agent at Bombay has shipped us large’
quantities of the Chingarora during the
past two-years, and although we have heel!
pressed to supply the demand for this deli
cious luxury to the veteran smoker, yet
are now prepared to offer it in unlimited
quantities, at a price much lower than some
American tobacco of a far inferior quality.
A connoiseur has but to smoke tbe Amer
ican tobacco and segars, which are invari
ably chemically flavored, to be disgusted
with the medicinal taste which leaves a nau
seous unhealthy coating ih tbe moutb, and
in time seldom fails to shatter the nervoui
system.. ,
The natives of th, “ORIENT” smoke the’
CHINGARORA from mom till night, frond
youth to age, and are happily uncoiucioiu
of he wild, distressing fire which coursed
through the veins of tbe inhaler, of thd
fumes of tobacco containing Nicotin.
We invite every lover of the weed to trf.
the CHINGARORA, and guarantee unpre
cedented pleasure in its delicious flavor: -
