The great Radical groundswell that for a few
weeks past, according to some of the Northern
Journals, threatened to overrun the whole coun
try, appears recently to have ceased swelling, and
our friends North, who yielded to Its pressure for
a time, begin again to entertain hopes, and will
bravely contend for suoceas at the elections
which will come off to-day. God speed them
in their efforts 1 Bays a correspondent of the

been consolidated and strengthened the Radicals
are already in great trouble from the return of

there are already two "general committees,” and
a division is threatened on Congress and ail their

The elections in Indiana, Ohio, and. Pennsyl

that they will carry thesa.States by an immense

entertain hopes of partial success in each. It is

The Patent Quentton.
The following letter from the Secretary of the
Interior to the Commissioner of Patents settles
the question as to whether Southern people are
entitled to patents, and shows that tho Depart
ment of tho Interior is presided over by a spirit
of true nationality which looks only to tho pub
lic welfare and national advancement and pros
perity:
Department op the Interior, I
Washington, D. C., September 28,1800. f
Sm—Your letter of tho 24th instant in regard
i residing
lications for patents by persons residing
the States lately in f
i insurrection has been
to a<
with!
duly considered.
The duty of this Department is to execute, not
make laws. The legislative power of the Gov
ernment designates the persons to Whom, and
prescribes the conditions under which, patents
shall be issued.
I can neither add to nor dispense with the
rules prescribed b; ~
ing or patents
interest that aa ....
imposed upon the inventive genius and produc
tive capacity of the people.
The public ia not so much interested in who
shall invent and produce as that invention and
production shall continue. In whatever portion
of our common country an inventor may reside,
the community will be equally benefited -by his
discovery. Bus local habitation can have no in
fluence upon the value of his contribution to the
industrial mis.
I am not aware that any portion of the coun
try or the people are now in insurrection against
the authority, ol the General Government.' You
will, therefore, in ail cases of applications for
patents, be governed by the law. Every appli
cant who brings himself within the provisions
of the law, ana complies with its requirements,
is entitled to have his application granted. ■
In all cases you will follow tho law, neither
adding to its requirements cor relaxing its re
strictions and limitations. 1 am, sir, veiy re

The tide, of events has drifted to the Commer
cial Emporium of the United 'States, many old
citizens of Georgia, who have gone thfth'er to em
bark in various enterprises, mostly commercial,
to better their fortunes, and from that point, to
do a Southern trade. Among them, wa notice
one long connected with the Georgia press, who,
for very many years, exercised-with his pen a
powerful influence over the minds of the people
of this State, and whose fame, ns a political
writer, was not confined to its limits, but was na-
IUnaL Wo aW nrwi nkla
Jakes Gardner, Esq., late of the Augusta Con-

any article wanted, singly or in quantity, from
New York or - from Europe, for consumers or
dealers, for use or wear, comfort or luxury, and
at prices guaranteed as low as could be obtained
by the customer in person. Mr. Gardner’s
connection with it will be satisfactorily received
in Georgia, os an endorsement of its entire fella,
bility and promptness in the execution of all
orders transmitted to it. The tress of Georgia,
with which Mr. G. has been connected ior over
twenty years, as Publisher and Editor of one of
its most influential and popular journals, while
regretting tho loss to it of so able an adjunct, wc
feel satisfied, will not hesitate to lend its influ
ence in furthering the enterprise of its late dis
tinguished compeer—a gentleman with unblem

will it not overlook tho fact, that connected with
the other business of Carrington & Co., Mr.

Forney.—Forney, In his stock stump speech
in Pennsylvania, says that if the President con
tinues firm in his opposition to the Rump, the
friends of tho Rump must rush to his “immediate
impeachment, or, rather, to such measures a* will
render Ms impeachment unnecessary." This means,
or couree, that the President is to be disposed of
by violent measures.

Under
City
T
the people. jTta this: that 'there is no
nee that if fee pending constitutional amend
ment Is adopted the Southern States will be
admitted. On the contrary, we have aaauranoe#
from the moat Influential quarters that this will
not be sufficient.”
“The New York Tribune urges universal snf-
he Independent says, plainly, that some
thing more must be done besides the constitu
tional amendment-’’
"Mr. Stevens, the leader of the dominant
party in the House of Representatives, the mas
ter brunch of the Government, does not hesitate
to proclaim that the constitutional amendment
does not go for enough.
In tho famous Pittsburg Convention, oyer
which General Butler towered as tho inspiring
genius, this point is left untouched in the plat
form adopted, and General Butler, in his speech
to the convention, says,, that until every man
can walk in peace, convoying tho flag of the
United States, If he pleases, with devotion to
the Union on his lips, and not be molested, in
every revolted State, for one I do not want to sec
that State in tho Uniow."
"So that it is a misnomer to call the constitu
tional amendment a plan to restore Uie Southern
States to the Union. It Bhould rather be called
a plan to tie over the Shoals of the fall elections.
It it accomplishes this purpose, it will have dis
charged its mission."
“When I
the constitutional amendment is made
a part of the Constitution, it it is so made, the
matter of reconstruction will still be an open
question in the hands of the controlling party
In Congress. Doubtless, when' they can see a
chance of gaining an accession to their political
power by admitting a state which, like Ten
nessee, is in the hands of their politicians, they
will do it; otherwise their action will depend
on circumstances. The Radical leaders are,
therefore, guilty of false pretenses when thoy
insist that the question before the people Is,
whether the Union shall be restored under the
Preeldentis plan, or under, the plan of the con
stitutional amendment.”.
“This should ho brought home to the minds
of the American people. Without doubt the
great mass of the people desire on early restor
ation of the. Union, and the .end of tho present
anomalous and unrepublican state'of things. It
will bo their own fault if they are deceived by
the pretense that the constitutional amendment
being'adopted, tho gates of the Capitol, are to
fly open to admit the loyal representatives from
tho Southern State. That question, if tho Rad
icals triumph in the approaching electibiis, is
destined to be kept open for party purposo."
“The Radical leaders concern themselves very
little about resforetton of the seceded States.
Their anxiety, first and last, and all the time, is
how to preserve their hold on office and the
spoils."
The foregoing is every word true. Especially
should it be brought home to the.minds of the
Southern people, upon whom the effort bffsrecent-
lybeen made, by thc New York Herald and other
Northern papers, to persuade an acceptance or
ratification of the proposed constitutional amed-
ment. Aa the Washington Intelligencer says, “it
will be their own Unfit if thoyjare deceived by
the pretense that the constitutional amendment
being adopted, the gates of the.Capitbl fire to
fly open fo admit the loyal representatives from
the Southern States."
* *** What Doe* It Mean ?
The New Orleans Times, of the 2d, says; We
have some rather startling intelligence from the
seat of government, and from a source which
leaves not a doubt of its authenticity.' When
the First United States Colored. Infantry were
mustered out of service, a large number of them
remained in and around Washington. These
ex-soldiers have kept up their organisation un
der .the name of “Lincoln Reserve Corps,” of
which one Capt. Daniel K. Jenkins is comman
der of tho 1st battalion. On the evening of. Sep
tember 4th, a secret meeting was held, at which
about one hundred of these men signed a resolu
tion offering their services to Governor Wells, of
Louisiana, to aid in his struggle for liberty aud
justice” Capt. Jenkins was instructed to write
Qoverftor Wells to this effect, stating that the
"Lincoln Resery.es” wore “well armed and dis
ciplined, and would serve without remuneration”
—excepting, we suppose, what they could confis
cate, a to Butler.
What does this proposition Indicate? Do the
'Radical politicians intend gettingup another riot
in Now Orleans ? Are the “loyal Louisianians”
and Northern political leaders not satisfied with
the blood they have caused to be spilled in our
streets? Do they wish to add to the unfortunate
calamity they brought upon our people by fur
ther tumult and disorder? .Certainly this.looks
as if there was some foul plot hatching.
The New .York Tribune.
The following is from a Washington corres
pondent of the New York Tribune. Asaspeci-
men of tall lying it is hard to beat:
Some important disclosures will soon be of
ficially made public in reference to secret rebel
societies, which permeate the entire South. These
organizations.have branch circles in New York
city and the West. That in New Yorle is said to
number 50,000, pricipaUy composed of men who
served in the rebel army. Each circle has a differ
ent name. Some are known as the “ True Sons
of the South,?’ others as “The Knights of Ara
bia,” and all are well armed with the most im
proved, weapons, ready fit a moment’s notice,
should a favorable opportunity arise, fo renew
ths struggle for the lost cause. One of the chief
members of this organization, now in prison, is
said to have made important disclosures. Gen.
Sheridan is concentrating troops hi this city (N.
OJ for important purposes, which Will soon be
made apparent.
Nine cases ot whipping nfigroes have been re
cently officially reported in the parish of Bien
ville. One old woman, seventy years of age, re
ceived four hundred lashes.
Shakespeare describes fi good many kind of lies
and liars—but this is original. By all means send
him the hat.
The Last Alternative.—As a Inst resort
for intimidating the Southern people into an ac
ceptation of the constitutional amendment, a
writer in a Northern paper suggests the follow;
ing, under the head of “ banger to the South. ’’
He is speaking of the schemes of the radicals:
already see mat -their canaraato for the
succession is Ben. Butler, who has been dignified
by Southerners with the soubriquet of “The
Beast.’ Should the South neglect its present
opportunity, and reject the terms now offered,
it Is not probable that they will re-gain their
proper position in the government until after
the next Presidential election. They will then
find Butler or Chase fn the field as the radical
candidate, with McClellau, or some other demo-
crat, in opposition, without a chance of success.
What then would be their liopes for the future?
Death op a Printer.— 1 The Richmond 'En
quirer notices the death of Mr. H. Lee Wells,
a compositor in that office. He died on tho eve
ning of the 4th. The Enquirer speakB ot him as
an exemplary man in all the relations of life, and
says he was* member of tho Fifteenth Virginia
Regiment, and served till the close ot; the war.—
It addB: “ His death has left; a void here, around
which hover the clouds’ of sorrow, but hopejl-

Great Revival at Athens, Ga.—A revival

meeting. Some eighty-five or ninety had joined

It is known to the country that Bdflhel Butler
GsMral Great infal. sftmh
fit thfi latfifFlUMNfrfl ’Convention. _ ft attrodlfid
UttlfifittsMM fittho Bate, but tte motive undu 1 -
lylqf ihe fitsaalt has subsequently b n pretty
thoroughly canvassed, even by the Republican
party. A, tile correspondence of the Now York
Herald refers to it, and says:
Taking advantage of his accidental promi
nence, Butler directed all his efforts towards the
accomplishment of the object nearest to his
heart—the destruction of General Grant s popu
larity. and his removal from the field of the next
Preeldentiel contest It was to this end that ho
advocated the hanging of Lee, painting In the
most vivid colors his treason to the government^
treason to tho government,
and branding him as a far worse rebel and traitor
than Davis, in order to prepare the public mind
for the censure of General Grant for having
treated him as Bn honorable enemy. It was to
this end that he strovo to cast a slur upon the of
ficers of tho regular army, and sneeringly de
clared that four years’ active service in tho field
should bo considered as good a titlo to advance
ment as a West Point education.
- But while Butler shrewdly confined liw own
share In the systemjzcd assault upon Gonoral
Grant to hints and Inuendocs, his followers had
.permission to he less dollcato in tho attempt to
assail the reputation of that distinguished leader.
During tho convention thoy wore busily e:
in wbisi.
part of tho
talcs of alleged excesses on tho
outenant General, ending with tho
rasuy.. I
abuse culminated at a late hour of the Inst night
of the convention in a speech by Colonel Rush
0. Hawkins, of Now Yorkfoollvorcd to a large
orowd at tho Monongahela House, iu which that
officer publicly and severely assailed General
Grant by name, designating his letter to General
Leo on the subject of the parole and pardon of
the Confederate commander as a worse act than
was ever committed by “tho traitor Johnson."—
It is due to the audience to say that this assault
was received with a silence that convoyed a more
significant abuse than hisses, although an attempt
at applause was made by a few radical-politicians.
From the fact that tho assault on Generfil
Grant by the wandering miscegenB was made al
most simultaneously with that of Butler and his
followers in the Pittsburg Convention, there
seems to be little doubt that it was preconcerted,
and that Jack Hamilton, Sherwood and Brcwu-
low received their cue from Butler, and were in
tho
ring the residue of the campaign.
Of couree the object of this assault upon
vanquisher of the rebel armies is the contempla
ted elovation of Ben. Butler, on a radical plat
form, to the next Presidency. The policy of ig
noring the finality of the constitutional amend
ment, and extorting other' conditions from the
South in case of its adoption, prior to their rc-
udmission to a share in the government, looks to
theBame result. If the next Presidential elec
tion can be. confined to the, loyal States, with
Grant out of the way, there wiu -be a Clear field
for'Butler as the candidate of the radical politi
cians and ultra fanatics of, the North, to contest
the, nomination with Chase and to measure
sworda with the giant of the national banks.
South Carolina.
i Inthe. Charleston New of the 6th Instant ap
pears a military order from Gen. Sickles, which
is noticed by the editor as follows:
Our readers will notice in another
important' ordei. just issued by Mfijor-General
Slekles, commanding this department. This or
der remits all cases cognizable in the United
States and State courts to those courts respect
ively, and orders the discontinuance of . thc pro
vost courts as sdon as the District Courts shal _ _
rrganizized, except at Hilton Head and on the
Sea Islands, and also commands the restoration
of the. jails to the civil authorities. Notwith
standing all tliis appearance, in the first four
paragraphs of the . order tit transfer of power
from the military to the civil authorities, the con
tinued supremacy ot the former is boldly asserted
in the remaining paragraphs—which forbid the
infliction of corporal, punishment, limit the ap-
lieation of the vagrant laws, prevent suits against
soldiers and loyal citizens, for..certain offenses,
and give a kind of general supervision to the
subordinate military officials over the civil au
thorities.
This order will be welcomed ns a loosening of
the rein of military control, but cannot be re
garded as fulfilling either the letter or the• spirit
of President Johnson’s late proclamation.

Justices the question whether the Circuit Courts

and, therefore, accept no part of the honors
there won in carrying through or sustaining any
relief policies suggested on that occasion. Wo
will say ono thing, however. Tho conqueror
may take advantage of our instincts, and force
ua to apparent repudiation; but voluntary, cold-
blood, deliberate repudiation of a just debt, hard
as it may be to pay it, or even impossible; strikes
us as an enormity which, it seems, no ordinniy
or extraordlnsry combination of circumstances
can extenuate, much less justify.
Relief, however, is needed, and the people
must have it; but it can be obtained far-short of
y compromise of honor or honesty, of any-
ng that even looks like it.
