We printed yesterday a note from a
Northern man who has lived four years in
South Carolina, and who asserts that the
part of the State with which ho is familiar
is peaceable and quiet, and that Northern
and Union men are safe there. ..We print
below a letter fiom Georgia ot similar pur
port concerning that State:
Boston, April4, 1S7T.
To the Editors of the Evening Post-.
Tha letter which I send you herewith is
from one of my most esteemed and trust
worthy correspondents in the South—one
who was a Union man throughout the
war. Such evidence should be taken be
fore laws are passed which will be as ob
noxious as the fugative slave law was, and
which will be likely to produce the same
disorder. E. A.
Augusta, Ga., March 29,1871.
Mr Dear Sib: Your valued favor of
the 25th insc receives my interested care,
with many thanks. My attention has been
directed to the efforts made by certain par
ties to pass a Ku Klux bill, which I con
sidered would fail, under the influence of
thinking and substantial citizens of the
North who had before this learned to esti
mate properly the outrageous reports fur
nished from the South. I am really sur
prised at your letter, which causes me to
think the conservative feeling I was relying
upon failed to exist. The State of Georgia
is as peacable as prior to our unfortunate
rebellion, with the exception of occasional
violations of law and order by irresponsible
persons, who receive the condemnation of
all good citizens—and the former slaveown
ers are of the latter class. The laws are
enforced and obeyed, and our people are as
loyal to the Government as any upon the
North American continent. The disorders
are of peisonal and not political causes aud
characters. The rights of the negroes un
der the laws are respected, and there is ev
ery disposition to protect and secure them
in those rights. When some who aro bold
attempt to force social rights where they
are not invited, they are rebuked, aud
sometimes roughly dealt with. This de
pends upon the temperament of those who
come in contact withthem. Idonotnish
to be understood as asserting that every
unlawful act committed is at once promptly
punished. Thatjcannot be said of any
country of any age. That there hare been
unlawful acts unpunished I admit, but they
are of a personal nature, by no means hos
tile to the Government. With a surety the
whites and negroes aro now upon a far
better understanding than at any time
since the war ended, with less cause for
complaint, particularly in reference to the
question of labor, which of itself is the cor
ner stone to harmony. Our neighbor,
South Carolina, has had trouble in some of
her counties, I think promoted by design
ing politicians, in order to furnish fresh
cause for legislation. The people of that
State are now believing nothing they can
do will avert unlawful legislation. Their
laws arc enforced and enacted, to a preat
extent, by ignorant negroes, and in cases to
my knowledge, by bad, deugning white
men, who deceive, insult, and humiliate
respectable men; and then taxation. State
and county, is oppressive. Under such
circumstances vehement opposition is not
surprising. Would not such a condition of
affairs meet quite as serious rebuke in your
State? If I am correct, this is not to be
construed as disloyalty to the Government,
but resistance to State oppression, or more
particular to personal dislike. I have en
tered more in detail upon this subject than
worthy of yonr valuable time in reading,
and trust your pardon for the intiusion.
In conclusion, I beg to thank you and
those like you, hoping these are many, for
your kind feelings in favor of our distress
ed people, and hope for your unceasing eff
orts in our behalf until universal peaep and
harmony once more settles upon every spot
of this South—shielded by the hand of
New England, who we desire our strongest
ally, as we are bound together by commer-
cial ties, and are iudispensible to each oth
er. Again I thank you for the interest dis
played in our wellfare Most truly and
respectfully yours.
The bowie-knife got its name from two
or more brothers, desperedoes by the name
of Bowie. They figured in Texas during
the days of Davy Crocket and Sam Hons-
ton. On the borders of Texas, near the
Rio Grande, there lived a man by the name
of Nal K Xulkuk, pronounced in the gut
tural Mexican ZuLzus. He too, like the
Bowies, was a desperado; but, unlike them,
be fought against and depredated upon the
American settlers. He is still remembered
in Texas by many who have soen and heard
of him, as well as dreaded him. His mot
to was to seek unceasingly to avenge a real,
or a fancied wrong to himselfj his followers
or his country. His name spelled back
wards gives us Ku Klux Klan.
A District Judge Resigns Because He
Doubts tile Legalib, of the Court.
Fioiii the Chronicle and SeDtinel we take
the following, the resignation of Judge
Goudcr,one ol Governor Bullock’s appoin
tees to the Judgeship of one of the new
Senatorial District Cum t-.
•ludgc Got,dur has conic to the view that
this journal bus argued. No greater mis
take can he made than to run an illegal
court. Its judgtaents are null and void.
It sedlea nothing. Every conviction an!
decision it makes are simply so many emp
ty words. While the Supreme Court might
decide the organization complete, yet there
a grave doubt attending the matter, and
an ad. erse decisiou would leave every judi
cial act of the-c courts unbinding.
Judge Gonder puts the poiuts wel.and
deserves credit for his action:
Milledfeville, April 4,1871.
due. R B. Bullock—Dear Sir: I have
had for sometime serious doubts as to the
constitutionality of the District Court, and
the legality of the official acts of its Judges,
and on mature reflection have come to the
conclusion that the act of 28th of October,
1S7U, organizing the court, was a special
or local act, having excepted twenty of the
forty-four Senatorial districts, whilst the
Constitution, in its provisions for the court,
required a general law. (A court for each
d strict) Aud, in the second place, I
learn that tho act was passed after forty
days had expired, without a two-thirds vote
for its prolongation, which is palpably in
violation of the plainly expressed terms of
the Constitution. I know that an inter
pretation of the Constitution, by some,
makes the third session the second cne, but
the trouble is, the Constitution don’t say so.
And iu the third place, I am neither a
de jure nor a de facto Judge, because my
nomination was not confirmed by the Sen
ate. The Governor has the power to fill
vacancies occurring otherwise than by death
or resignation, but it should be done accor
ding to law, allowing that a vacancy can
occur where the office had never been pre
viously filled—yet the Governor’s power to
fill vacancies applies only where there is no
other mode of filling them pointed out by
Uw. Now’this very act organizing the court
points another mode, to wit- appointment
by the Governor and Senate.
You will, therefore, please accept my re-,
signation. Yours respectfully,
Joseph B. Gonder.
The Alabama Coal ami Iron Fields.
A writer ia the Atlanta Constitution ad
vocating the building of a railroad between
Atlanta, Ga., and Birmingham, Ala , devel-
opes the astounding fact that the Alabama
Coosa coal field;” would be open to At-
lauta, Augu-ta and other cities at a dis
tance of only 115 miles from Atlanta, while
the coal now being used in that city is be
ing transported from Coal Creek near Knox
villa, 254 miles, and Etna mines, near Chat
tanooga, 15G miles. There is no reason to
doubt that in a few years Alabama will be
furnishing iron, and coal to nearly all the
Southern cities and towns. The supply of
both is inexhaustible, and Northern man
ufacturers are now putting np furnaces in
tho mineral region of Alabamia for the
purpose of supplying their heavy manufac
turing establishments in the North with
pig iron.
Tho Alabama ores furnishes the best
combination known in the world, for the
manufacture of car wheels and rails, and in
time we expect to see innumerable establish
ments for their manufacture along the line
of the South and North and Alabama and
Chattanooga railroads. Experienced iron
men are preparing to build an extensive
nail factory at Birmingham.

tives of the 41st Congress, declaring that the
principal of revenue retorm points to the ap-
olition of tho Internal Revenue system,
which was created as a war measure to pro
vide for extraordinary expenses, and the con
tinuance of which involves the employment
at the cost of millions of dollars annuallv, of
an army of assessors, collectors, supervisors,
detectors and other officers previously un
known, and requires its repeal at the earli-
liest day consistent with the maintainance
of the faith and credit of the government, of
all stamp and other internal taxes; that prop

These two decisions will dispose .of the vari
ous other similar cases remaining on the

The court also reversed the decision of the
Scpreme court of Louisiana, sustaining the

the plea of prescription.

Bear in Mind.
When disease has undermined the health, and
the-physieal system, lias become prostrated, a
stimulant t'.at will not only strengthen, tut re
move the cause, should be immediately resorted
to. Mental distress is also a fruitful source of
the breaking down of the constitution,. and the
ravages of this enemy to health-Sie truly alarm
ing. For all such maladies Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters have been found unsurpassed. By act
ing directly upon the digestive organs, they re
mora the heavy, disagreeable feeling after eat
ing, so often complained of by persons of a deli
cate temperament. So soon as digestion is res
tored, the patient finds his strength increasing,
and his general health is improred.
Thousands of poisons certify that it may be
relied on in all cases of weakness or nervons de
bility attendant upon sedentary habits. The
generality of Bitters are so disagreeable to the
taste that they are objectionable to a weak stom
ach. This is not the case with Hostetter's Bit
ters, which will be found mild and extremely
pleasant. Balsamic plants, barks and roots con
tribute their restorative juices to render it sooth
ing and siaengthening. Its basis is the only
pure stimulant which has ever been produced,
containing no fuiil oil, or any other deleterious
element. The most careful and skilful chemists
have analyed tho Bitters, and pronounce them
harmless. This is soientifio testimony; but the
testimony of the hundreds of thousands who
have experienced the preventive aud curative
effects or ths great vegetable tonic and alterative
of modern times is still more conclusive. In
Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Billionsness, Nerv
ous Complaints, Chronic Complaints and gener
al debility it is nearly infallible as anthing in
this fallible world can be. apltw-wlm
