FRIDAY MORNING, April 22.
WHERE’S OUR AMNESTY !
We were promised by the --magnanimous
men who run this government of ours tlia‘-
when the 15th Amendment was cousuinat-
cd; when the negro had been blessed with
equal political rights; when the kinky
head was crowned with all the immunities
-of the Caucasians, that wc should have ab
solute peace and a general amnesty; that all
rebels should be forgiven, and that the mild
eyed dove should settle upon the caves of
every Southern home.
Well it is over—the amendment is rati-
lied. and the negro has blossomed into a full
b lown voter; and we ask. with some impa
tience, where is our amnesty ?
Instead of amnesty we have got tyranny
and the cooings of the promised peace-dove
are drowned in the clanking of new forged
chains.
Now hordes of military are being poured
across our borders; fresh torrents of carpet

We have no doubt but that, at -an early
day, a direct route between Depatur, Ala.,
and Atlanta. Augusta, Charleston and oth
er points on that line wil. be opened—bnt
there is neither sense nor economy in mak
ing Atlanta the point of divergence from
the present line of travel. If the new road
should .be started, the first SO or 90 miles
would bo nearly parallel to the State lb-ad
and RomcYrarich; at an average of only 8
or 10 miles from them, and across the-ridg
es 0 f a very broken and unproductive eoun
try. But if they would make Kingston
the point of divergence, the interests of the
State Road would be promoted, rather than
injured by this enterprise, some 80 miles of
new road would be saved, the - ictcrests of
the Georgia Railroad and Atlanta to the
same extent, and just as effectually promo
ted, and nothing lost except, perhaps, some
six or eight miles in distance. The Legis
lature, whose business it is to guard the in
terests of the State Road, would- probably
favor this latter enterprise, and the Rome

ing the propriety of allowing the present
Legislature to hold their places for two
years longer, or keeping her under military
rule for an indefinite period.
At the instigation of a few negroes and
rascally white men, the President is now
thinking of flooding Tennessee with armed
forces, and has declared publicly that when
he deems it necessary be can station troops
at any point in the Union he desires.
These are some of the blossomings of
that amnesty plant whose full fruition we
have been anxiously expecting. Judging
from these indices, what disastrous results
it will bear, no man can conceive.
All the amnesty, or friendly protection
that we can hope for from the administra
tion, wc must fight for. The only channel
through which their sense of justice can be
reached, is the baser one of fear. A few
more Conneoticuts would open thoir eyes.
Amnesty! aside from the dreamy, child
ish pratings of that innocent old lunatic,
Horace Greeley, no paper of the North
hints at amnesty. Everything is revenge
and resistaucs— tyranny andrebcllion, Win
chester rifle and Colts repeater.
These chaotic elements are sweeping and
-lashing in the cauldron, and the amnesty
that comes from them will be a mockery.
There can be no peace or amnesty for
this country in a long time unless we are
very much mistaken. The serfs of Russia
enjoy more liberty than do the Georgians
of to-day—the peasants of France are ten
times better off in a political sense than we
arc.
[n |act, isc have just about concluded
that this Government, with its twang and
twaddle about “fe-ree institutions and ge-
lorious liberties” is a tremendous fraud and
stalking lie—an immeasurable deceit. We
do not exactly bate the Government—but
e cordially despise the Administration.
Uncle Sam may be himself a very clever
and proper old gentleman, but we hesitate
not to affirm that his present chief agent,
II. S. Grant, and his sub-agents, Butler,
Sumner & Co-, are the most brutal, coward
ly, short-seeing tyrants that ever shamed
shame, or disgraced dishonor.

from its lethargy, aud resolve to prevent
their line from being cut iff
For some time past endeavors have been
made to build the road from Atlanta to De
catur, in Northern Alabama, where the
Memphis & Charleston and Nashville &
Decatur Railroad- would be tapped, and by
means of which the State Road would be
flanked.
The parties who were expected to build
this road were naturally the e ty of. Atlan
ta and the Georgia Railroad Oompa.-y.—
Two contractors have offered to build the
road—one for fifteen thousand dollars per
mile in gold cash; the other lor tweuty-sev*
en thousand dollars per mile in currency—
ten thousand to be paid cash, and the bal
ance to be taken in st ick an 1 endorsed
bonds. The directors of the Georgia Hail
road have detetmined to accept the last ot
ler and will pay five thousoed dollars per
mile, the city of Atlanta agreeing to pay
the other five thousand, ai d a committee
wai also appointed to manage this affair
A resolution was also passed to buy a
largo amount of the stock ot the Atlanta
and West Point Railroad, so as to defeat
the plans of the Central Railroad for gain
ing possession of that Company.—Augusta

Cotton Statements—We call thepar-
tieular attention of our readeis to the ex
haustive article upon cotton, pu dished in
another column. It is taken from the Fir
nancial Chronicle, which is the supreme au
thority upon such subjects.
We call attention to the fact that on the
first of October ol this year, there will ba
1,051,000 bales of uew cotton in Europe,
against 583.000 on the same date of last,
year. This fact, combined with the rea
sonable presumption that India will tend
much more cotton to Europe during the
coming season than ever before, will proba
bly lead our farmers to plant less cotton and
more corn—to plant less cotton and u ore
clover—to plant less cottou and raise more
meat. It is au axiomatio truth that S2,-
090,000 of bales of cotton would be worth
as much to the South, aud probably more
than 3,000,000 of bales.

ing t—TO A SPEEDY' EXTINCTION!
We mean what we say—that the negro
is drifting to a speedy extinction Few per
sons who have not examined into this mat
ter have any idea of the rat idity with which
the negro race is dying out. We have most
diligently examined all the statistic* that
we could find bearing upon this subject, and
we boldly, and without fear ot successful
contradiction, assert that three negroes to
one white man die in a given time.
The mortuary reports of all the cities
tbat we have noticed have shown this to be
true. In many cities six negroes have
died to one white man. Conversing upon
this subject with Col D. Wyatt Aiken (who
is remarkably well posted upon these sub
jects) he said that iu only one instance bad
be seen a report returned iu which there
was recorded ai many white corpses as dar
key corpses.

aid, when it. has only about $40,000 §tocU
taken by private persons. Unless i -e amount
eac.be increased to five hundred thousand,
it is out of the question to obtain sufficient
aid from the State to do aqy good. But
from wkence' is that amount of subscription
to be obtained. Our citizens, as remarked
by “Civis,’t in the Commercial, cannot spare,
tbe capital from their business, and it
would. grotialjly be' difficult or lmjM^ib(^

To avoid this difficulty I suggested in
the Courier of Saturday, a coosoliilation of

eighteen miles of road already built and
equipped; and upon tbia and the stock now

fieient aid from the State could be secured
to complete the road to Collinsville at least,
where it Intersect? the Oiiattapooga and

some other must be made to form a basis
ppon which Statg aid can be legally grant

do this, but -would inspire a coufi- e'nee i i

Thinking, from tbe note of “Civjs” in thp
Commercial of Sunday, that my reasoning
was not sufficiently expressed, upon the
subject of State aid, in the article of Satur
day, Ihaye thought fit to add the follow
ing :
I am no friend to tbe Rome Road, be-

opened to the commercial world immense
mineral wealth. Their supply and commis
sary store was an extensive establishment,
aud the public generally will regret their
heavy loss, probably oyer $100,000.
EDITORIAL BREVITIES.
The Anti-Slivcry Society did’nt die
worth a cent. It met for the express pur
pose of giving np the ghost, bnt instead of
dying as it should have done, determined
that it would fight against “accursed caste”-
—i. e—would saturate the Sontb with its
dismal cant, and damp hypocrisy till Souths
ern men proclaimed themselves ready to
embrace the negro on terms of perfect so ■
eial equality, regardless of ancient preju-
dic>s, and present bad olors. Some of the
missionaries they send South will go tbe
way of old John Brown, if they don’tlcok

And now comes one Drake, who proposes
a= a 16th Amendment that Congress shall
have the power to settle domestic wrangles
in any of the States; that if local troubles
occur ia a certain State tq day that Grant
can send troops there to-morrow and declare
that section under military rule; the people
of the section will have to support the sol
diers quartered upon them. This means
everlasting slavery to the Southern p60ple.
The stingy snob, wno sits in the Presi

having asked in vain for his ticket or mon

intendent cf tbe Raiiroad being on the
train, ordered the Conductor to pass him
free, and tbe champion dead head of the
day went on bis way rejoicing.
From all quarters of tbe UnioD come the
details ot the gorgeous celebrations that
the negroes have been having on tbe
strength of the 15th amendment. Poor

Above it sea gull cries of rostrum shriekers.

accommodate a. stud of twelve horses. In
one compartment stands General Grant’s

TUE LIVING APARTMENTS.
Ei"ht roams of the ibqrteeq qq the sec
ond floor are devoted to the private 1 use of
the President and family.
There is first a private parlor, fitted up
especially for the use of Mrs. Grant, to
which only iqtiipate acquaintances of tbe
family are iavited- The furniture is ebo-
n . covered with blue satin; the hangings
of bine satin and lace. The pictures and
other adornments give this room a sumptu
ous look- Adjoining it on one side is a spare
room, with black walnut furniture and
light red trimmings. Adjoining it nn the
other side—at the extremity of the west
pnd of the mansion—with windows looking
south and west, is Nellie Grant’s room.
This a bine boudoir fit for a princess, with
a soft bine carpet strewn with rose-buds,
aLd large clear mirrors reflecting the tints
and decorations of the walls.
Items: a low mattress bed, mahogany
frame w th high bead-board, six chairs a
lar:;e marble topped centre-table, x marble
wash-stand, a graceful “what-not” iq the
corner loaded witb'nfck-nwks; a picture of
playing kittens over the mantel, and a coal
fire.
Directly opposite his sister’s rrom. across
tne corridor, sleeps Jesse Grant. His bel
room is nicely fun ished—much like the
other, save that tbe trimmings are red, and
omitting a lew mirrors and lancy articles.
The state bedchamber is a magnificent
apartment, famished with rosewood and
satin, and papered with pu-ple and gold.
Tbe bedstead, massive and bigh, is riohly
covered, and canopied w>th damask ourtains,
pendant from a gilded hoop near the ceiling
On either side of the bed are laid soft
cushions for the feet. Two co»tly ward
robes, with full-length mirrors set in
tbeir doors, stand against the walls Two
arm-chairs deeply cnshioDed, and several
other chairs are disposed over the thick
velvet carpet. Mrs. Cragt's writing desk
Stands near the window. One of the curi
osities of the ohamber is a cigar cise from
China, inlaid with pearls and various kinds
of wood, presented to General - Grant by
Captain Ammen, ot the United States Na
vy. The washstand and its furniture ate
stained with purple devices—national bis
torical icques,perched over by tho American
eagle, dfo The celli ig of the cham
ber is profusely frescoed, and an ample coa‘
fire burns under tbe marble mantel, casting
its brisk rays upon the polished furniture
ao.l touching with tints of bronze the cen
tral chandelier.
A dressing room adjoins the state bed
chamber, and opens into the chamber oacu-
yied by Mrs. Dent. The latter is furnish
ed comfortably in old fashioned style. Tbe
adjacent spare room wisformerly used as a
bedchamber by President Johnson.
THE PRESIDENT AD BREAKFAST.
The fiunily at tiie* White House rise ear
ly—at 7 or 7:30. Our republican lord aud
master tolerates no valet, but draws on his
pantaloons and buttons his snspendtrs with
unassisted bands. Haply he repairs to the
convenient bathroom to meet his bar
where the morning newspaper!;—the Citron-
icls a ; d Republican— are’ brought to him
for ante-prandial pernsal. »
Breakfast is served from 8 to 8:30 in
the private diDiug-room on the main floor
west'of the ante room, which is jast west
of the vestibule. The meal is substantial
and good—for example } a steak, po a-
tpps, home-made biscuit, muffins, and
waffles, or ‘grits.” “The President likes
best tho plainest food, and all are light
eaters. The entire family drink coffe, in-
o’uding Mr. Dent, who is now in his 85th
-year. The President stickles for prompi-
tude at the breakfast table, and, when anv
of the family are late, wears a grave and
reproachful countenance, He is seldom
bothered in this way by any one but Jesse,
of which sedate, long-headed, but mischiev
ous youngster he is very fond. When Jes
se comes in belated, and bob Ids kis tat li
ter's face, his own is overcome with a cload
of mortification. “Jesse.” solemnly obrerves
hik mother, “don’t you know yon ought ro
be in to breakfast in time? I think papa
is looking a little angry.” To which the
child, lugubrious, has naught to say till the
President laughs (as he invariably does),
an assurance that he needn’t fear a fur
ther scolding. -
At the breikfast "table old Mr. Dent oo
cupies tbe first peat The President sits at
his left Mrs. Grant at his right,Nellie Grant
at the side of the- President, aud Jesse be
side his mother.
The .family sit .at breakfast ab ;ut t-.rej
quarters of an hour. Politics are never d:s
cussed at the table ; though the President,
who carries his newspapers there and Un
gers ever theui, occasiunaUy utters a remark
jetraying his sensitiveness to criticism.—
To be sure he never finds anything to com
plain of in the daily ne#spaper* published
in the capital—they are aU hi* devoted,
humble servants j butsoch is notinvarably
the case in the colatnns ot journals from
New York aud other cities—even those
printed in the Repub ican dialect. From
these annoyances he ta es refuge in jokes
with Jesse and in pleasant ofter lively, con
verse with Airs. Grant. He addresses
Mrs. Grai t,” who calls him familia.y
“Ulyss,” or with playfnl formality, “Mr.
Grant.”
AFTER BREAKFAST.
After breakfast, between 9 and-10 o’clock,
the President lights a cigar and takes a
short walk. As he emerges frqm the front
portico of the White House, where an or
derly or two stand in waiting, he returns
salute macbanically with.the" old military
habit, and passes down tbe steps. He wears
a closely buttoned black frock overcoat,
a silk tile, aud rather soiled kid gloves ;
aDd walks, slowly, with head bent forward
after the manner of Napoleon I., one hand
behind hint and the other holding his ci
gar. Be seldom looks up, and does not
likn to be accosted or accompanied on bis
early promenade.
AT DINNER, AND AFTEB.
Dinner and-those who ait down to it are
require-l to be punctual. -Like the other
meals served, it is devised by the steward,
who has the easy task of ministering tosim-
C ’ tastes and very moderate hanger. Roast
f is the favorito viaDd." 'Nol more than
three kinds of vegetables mako up the
body of the feast, flotuiny is a welcome
dish and bread is one of the chief props
of the Presidential stomach. A wholesome
desert is brought on duly and swallowed
with > eHberation. By this time the au-
iwily orpin high honor, and no one
who bad the unhappy, fortune to meet the
President amid the bustle of the day, would
recognize him in his present, unrestrained,
good-natured self. He does notfiash forth
With lightning—the urchin, Jesse, is the
humorist of the circle. .
But if it happens tq ho a reception day,
he joins ig ta|k about the .guests, and is
en said to b.e a fair judge ; of ladies’ toi
lettes. At the table he is quite at home;
there bis children find him tender; and
there, it is rumored, he receives with edi
fying patience every blunt remonstrance
his Democratic father ig-]aw may take it in-
to hjs ficad to make against his course in
regard to the.negroes of the land. Subse
quent to coffee leaps a cigar from his side
pocket, and again, far the fourteenth or
fifteenth time, be smokes, A, walk long
enough to reduce the cigar to ashes brings
him home again. Now the New York pa
pers are brought in. Selecting the World
and the Tribune, he reads as a soothing
chtffin ta while u«ay the later evening
hours.
EVENING—THE PRESIDENT*? LEISURE.
Though Mrs, Gno’- keeps a thrifty eye
op the house keeping arrangements at the
Whi’e House, the steward relieves her of
much responsibility end care. .So her even
logs, like the President’s, are quite her
m. "
To those who remember the literally
ceaseless apxiety aDd toll that fell to Mr
Lincoln and Mr, Johnson, tbe leisure of
Mr--Grant, and the diversions he votes it
to,, seem to render his lot as President very
enviable. The number of his secretaries
and clerks in "thi? piping time of peace ex
ceeds the number employed by his prede
cessors in time of war, and in the busiest
period of reconstruction- These asristan's,
chiefly tried staff officers, who were aocus-
tomed to relieve Gen- Grant from a st’Il
heavier load when he was commander of
the army, form a cabinet within a cabinet
around him, so well di-ciplined as to dis
pose of all the routine, and capable enough
to shoulder most of the miner responsibili
ties of his admin stration. When, he firtt
asi-umed the Presidency it was—as hia
coarse in the choice of a Cabinet and iu
other respeota evinced—with the idea of
personally administering the government.
The successive checks which he has receiv
ed from Congress and the mortification
which he has suffered before the people
have seemingly led him to distrust his own
powers. Wherefore, instead oi the busy
and vigorous life which it was predicated
would signalize his career as President, it
is marked by comparative inertia,
THE SPHINX SOCIALLY CONSIDERED.
During the winter he ofteoattend-d with
Mrs Grant, the receptions of the Cabinet
ministers, and accepted invitations to on-
. vate dinner and dancing parties. At these
his quiet demeator was conspicuously no
ticeable. He seems to like society, or rath
er to be grimly amnsed by the glitter, noise
and palaver of a well dies3ed and distin
guished throng. But it takes a friend who
is on very fan iliar terms with him, or a
woman of superior nod pertinacious tact to
‘-draw- him out” to the extent of more than
a lew short sentences in such assemblies.—
Though I encountered tho President or
same of these occasions, I never saw him
appear so much at his ease os he did at the
annual gathering (of males exclusively) At
Col. John W. Forney’s one night last Jan
uary. Our friend Forney bad theu collected
in his bouse, on Capitol HUl the most un
wonted conglomeration of human beiDgs
ever brought together in Washington.—
Rlaek spirits and white, blue spirits and
gray, of politics, were incorporated in skins
ot as many hues. Members oi theCabioet,
foreign ministers and secretaries; Senators
and members of both parties; newspaper
correspondents of the Radical, the Conser,
votive Republican, the Democratic and the
Ka-Klux press; clerks of the two Houses
of Congress; local politicians, lobbyists, mu
latto aud negroes—all were assembled in
a grand stag party, free to scramble on the
table for sapper and under it for sherry sod
cham oagne. Tho sphinx arrived unnoticed
and was soon hobnobiug with his host aud
g number oi other gentlemen. With a c<-
aar in cue hind, and a glass of wine in the
other, (he did but sip the wine) was really
quite good to see him loosen his lips and
threaten with abnormal fluency to solve
himself!
Yet at the cloge Qf that evening he re-
maiged as great a riddle as before.
EVENING AT HOME.
The President’s evenings at home are
passed, with few exceptions, in the society
of his wife and children- Nothing but the
most important business can ipdnce him to
give au official audience at night Old Mr.
Pqnt is not seldom present, and receives
from the family and from those who call
aud qnickly discern tbe proprieties and cus
toms of the family circle, the most scrupu
lous consideration. At these evening gath
erings at home, tbe President is said to dis
play a genial frankness and a conversation-,
al facility which aro oo where else dis
closed, and therefore nowhere e’se appre
ciated. The children are sent to bed be
tween 9 and 10. Mrs. Grant retires later,
when the President resumes, for au hour
or so his newspapers and cigars. Queer
visitors sometimes apply late at night to see
him. About thiee month's ago -the night
police arrested a man who insisted on see-'
ing the President. He had a long piece of
iron, with a.telegraph glass cap at thp end.
of it, and concealed in his sleeve—an ngly
tool, whioh might have pat a bloody and
regcetable period to the life of one of tha
most amiable, stubborn, incomprehensible
of men.
