"""^^S^QEORQIA-
Thursday Morning, M>roh 7, 1687.
Oongreia UoarpInK the Command of the
Army.
The infamous and Abominable martial law bill,
M it flint passed the House, divestod the Presi
dent of liU constitutional authority ns Com-
mnndcr-ln-Chiel ot the army, by investing the
appointment of the flvo Brigadiers in Goucral
Grant, and making him the supremo head of the
system. This was in such flagrant violation of
the Constitution, that the Senate amended it by
investing these appointments in the President.
It appears, however, that this was a deceitful
trick to get the bill through; for the Senato hns
since, by a large majority, tacked to the Army
Appropriation bill a section by which Congress
usurps for itself the functions of Commandcr-in-
Chief, which, in the other bill, it sought to con
fer upon General Grant. The following is the
section :
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That tho
headquarters of the General of the United States
shall be at the city ot Washington, and all orders
and instructions relating to military operations
issued bv tho President or Secretary of War
shall be issued through the General of the army,
and, in case of his inability, through the next in
rank. The General of the army shall not be re
moved, suspended, or relieved from command,
or assigned to duty elsowhcre than at said head
quarters, except at his own request, without the
previous approval of the 8enate; and any orders
and instructions relating to military operations
issued contrary to the requirements of this sec
tion, shall bo null and void; and any officer who
shall issue orders or instructions contrary to the
provisions of this section, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor in office; and any officer of
" the army who shall transmit, convey, or obey
any orders or instructions so issued contrary to
the provisions of this Bection, knowing that such
orders were so issued, shall be liable to impris
onment for not less than two nor more than
twenty years, upon conviction thereof in any
court of competent jurisdiction.
This, it is asserted by tho New York World, is
cunningly made a part of tho Army Appropria
tion bill, so that ii it is vetoed, tho army appro
priations will fall with it, and the Radicals can
stir up the army to disaffection and mutiny
ngainst the President for depriving them of their
pay. We trust this crafty iniquity will make no
difference with President Johnson, for if he
pockets the appropriation bill, the new Congress,
which meets immediately, cannot shirk the re
sponsibility of leaving the army unprovided for.
Important to all Ballrond Companies,
The following order is published for the in
formation of all parties concerned:

State Securities.
The Chronicle ifc Sentinel throws out » word
pt timely caution in the following article:
We are sorry to see that a sort of panic has
|ized upon our people in relation to the value
I State securities. The idea seems to bo that,
Idcr the operations of the Sherman Bill all
plate securities will become valueless, because of
■e abolition of the State governments. This
|Te think no unwise conclusion. Tho territorial
Dsditidn of the States can not continue very long,
Ind in tbs interim Congress will be compelled,
Tom the sheer force of circumstances, to recog-
lizethe existing State governments, to a certain
lxte.it at i 861, The power to levy and raise
esfor i support of the government, will
nost certainly he allowed the States, and all acts
the de facto Governments not in derogation
the po .-«r of the Federal Government, will be
oleraltd a.i.i recognized. Any other course
Would speedily bring about such a condition of
Imirohy as would startle even the Radical ma-
loii'y.
There is no le.v m—there can be found none
sin t'ae Sherman Bill which should cause any
>7 great oeelinu in State or railway securities,
re advise those who' have such to withhold them
from the market, at least for the present. The
brines of such securities must go up. It would
pe folly to sacrifice tiiem at preseat prices. The
pnly p'e soos who can be benetitted by the pres
ent condition of things are capitalists and brokers.
[Withhold from them the chance of purchasing
nt the present panic rates, and in a few weeks
prices will regain their former level.
The Opinion of a Freedman.
We copy the extract below trom an article in
Jbc Albany Tri- Weekly New of the 2d:
A Neyro't Opinion.—The moro intelligent of
; blac.is are no iittie concerned about the state
bf the country. The other day two men of col-
|r were talking upon this subject to one of our
|ii zens. They said they deplored the condition
If alf.iin us they now Btnnd. They could see
lotning but ruin aud coustant confusion aud tur
bulence for their race under the Military bill.—
The enlranchising act they regard as the greatest
nisfortuucs befalling them. They feared future
levelopmcuts, lor they knew that designing men
t ill operate upon the more ignorant and credil-
oiis of their race, and under the combined iutlu-
Intc of had White men nnd had black men, they
Ian see no escape from utter ruin. The bestow-
lii'nt ol the elective franchise Is, in their opinion,
list ten years too soon. Ono of the negroes was
1 mechanic. He remarked that he saw now
pore necessity for being polite and respectful to
be whites than ever before. "My own race,”
bid lie, “ cunnot furnish me with lalior, by which
lean support my family, therefore I must look
1 the whites tor employment. They will not
fro me unless I behave uiysell, and merit
|eir esteem.” There is philosophy, there is
I sense in tills statement.
I John Wentworth's Investigation.—The
Washington correspondent of the Springfield
\mbliean has the following capital "drive” at
ong John:
II have been trying to find out to-day about
blin Wentworth’s Investigation and how it
lospers, but I can’t obtain any satisfactory in-
Trmalinn. Possibly John has not been sober
ng enough since the committee was raised to
bear iu his witnesses. The movement certaiu-
[ was the most ludicrous and disgraceful ever
nessed in Congress. II it were not tor its
Bicrous side there would he nothing to relieve
[from infamy. A member of Congress calls
on the President of the United Slates and
cusses reconstruction, whereupon John Went-
brth—note the linme of the mun and rcmeni-
what a pure, noble, sweet, exalted rep Ha
iti he lias—John Wentworth raises a commit-
of investigation on the ground that “cor-
ption exists. lie takes it for granted that
nan is "corrupt” if he calls upon the Presi-
After all I am curious to read the re-
We Bliall then know what the President’s
’ views upon reconstruction are. I hear that

[reme radical in Congress need lie ashamed,

Union Leaguers.
Wo are not advised as to wlicthor there aro
any Union League lodges in Georgia. We have
heard occasionally that there wero, but have
nover attached importance enough to tho matter
to mako tho necessary inquiries to ascertain tho
facts of the case. It seems, however, front tho
paragraph below, copied from the Cherokee Ad
vertiser, that in the neighboring State of Alabama
tho organization really has an existence, and,
though not yet n power iu tho State to be dread
ed, it occasionally emerges front the darkness and
flaunts its banners in the taco ol day. Tho Ad
vertiser says:
Tho freedmon, and a portion of tho little boys
of Centro, wore highly delighted, on Saturday
last, by tho sound of a fife, to tho "Tunc ot the
untortunate Dog," and rushed into the street to
learn tho meaning of the music, when they be
held a flag floating in the open breeze, repre
senting wo know not what, and which was fol
lowed by a procession of men, some fifty in num
ber, who represented themselves as members ol
tho Union Lenguo. They entered the village
from the cast end of tho 9treet and marched to
the Court House, stationed their flag in front of
tho door, and took possession of one of the
rooms in tho basement story, where they re
mained in secret, undisturbed and unnoticed by
our citizens, till a lato hour in the evening, when
they dispersed, and retired from Hie town in a
quiet manlier.
This is tlie second meeting the party have held
in Centre, and so tar as we ure able to learn they
have as yet initiated into their order hut one
man living in the place, notwithstanding Centro
lias all the while been termed n Union town. As
before stated in our paper, we don’t know the
platform upon which they stand, hut it the
lenguc is such n good thing, as some ot tho mem
bers say it is, why not come out openly and let
all our people see for themselves the advantages
to be gained by joining. If wo can see straight,
we think all men living in the South are equally
interested in tho politics of the South; and
should, therefore, have uo political organization
in their midst in which ail caunot take a part
without going to the great trouble of creeping
into a dark room and taking an oatli os long as
the Declaration ol Independence nover to divulge
anything connected with it. Look sharp, ye
joiners ot the craft for the promised land, there
is a screw loose in the vessel or the commanders
wouldn't draw the curtain so close until they get
you aboard.
Tho Trial ot Surratt.
The Courier, Buffalo, New York, has a para
graph in relation to the approaching trial ol Joint
II. Surratt, charged with being an accomplice in
the assassination of President Lincoln, which is
of interest because of the judicial reminiscence
it calls up:
It is stated that the same questions will arise
in tlie trial of John H. Surratt, which arose in
that of Frank Knapp, for the murder of White,
in Salem, more than thirty years ago, and upon
which Webster made his immortal argument.—
By the old Maryland law, existing now in the
District of Columbia—as in Massachusetts, when
Knapp was tried, but since altered by statute
there—nn accessory cannot be convicted HU after
his principal has been. As Booth has never been
convicted, Surratt canuot be convicted as acces
sory to the murder, mid can only he convicted as
principal by proving him present, or so near ns
to bo able to render assistance, if needed. It was
the general opinion of the bar ol MasapeJjUW.tV-
—enrouiiwr unity Knapp. How near to the

Important to Railroad Companies.—A
bill tins passed both Houses of the Virginia Le
gislature, and is now a law, securing an inter
change of cars and through tickets on all the
connecting railroads in that State. The follow
ing are the moat important portions of the law:
1. Be it enacted, That it sliull be the duty of
all connecting" railroad companies having the
same guage to interchange cars, for tho purpose
of carrying freight from one road to another,
and avoiding the delays incident to a cliungc of
tonnage trom one set ot cars to anotiicr, and tho
high freights resulting from adding together the
several local charges.
2. Through receipts for a'.l articles of freight
shall he given, and way hills to accompany tlie
same.
3. No railroad company shall discriminate in
its charges for transporting freight in one direc
tion instead of another; and tlie several con
necting railroad companies shall arrange their
tariffs for through freight so that each will re
ceive out ot the aggregate charge an amount no
more per milo for the distance the article is trans
ported than their lowest rate per mile for any
distance would give them for the same article.
4. Every railroad company shall give to any
other railroad company in the State and to every
citizen thereof the benefit of through tickets (or
passengers, with through checks for their ling-
gage, whenever demanded, at the same rates that
they are given to tlie most favored company.
The penalty for any violation of this act is a
fine of three hundred dollars, one-third to go to
the informer. The act will lie in force front the
1st of April next.
Rumored Homicide—Instances in the South
where negroes are killed by white men are rare,
but occurrences like the following are getting to
lie quite frequent. Tlie paragraplt is from the
Savannah News and Herald:
A report has been prevalent in our city for the
last few days to tlie effect that Mr. George T.
Heyward, a gentleman of extensive acquaintance
in this city, and one of tlie most respected plant
ers in Beaufort District, South Carolina, had been
brutally murdered by a negro who was formerly
iu his employ. The rumors regarding the man
ner of his death are very conflicting; the only
definite intormation wo Imvc was, that when last
seen lie was crossing Buckingham’s ferry, on his
way to tlie plantation which ho was cultivating.
A short time afterwards his son heard tlie repurl
of fire arms, hut, at the time, thought nothing of
it. His long and unsuai absence, together witli
tlie report oT the fire-arms mentioned above, ex
cited the suspicion of his son, who, accompanied
by a few neighbors, started in quest ot him.—
After a short search his body was found iu a
ditch, close to the road, with a ball through his
lorebead. Having no direct confirmation of this
sad event, we do not feel justifiable in placing it
before tlie public without the assurance that as
yet nothing official has been received confirming
the current reports.
The Colored People in Philadelphia.—
Tlie paragraph following, from the Philadelphia
Aye, illustrates the status of the colored man in
the Stutc of Pennsylvania :
At intervals of about two months we are called
upon to record an inatancc of nn obstreperous
darkey attempting to ride inside tlie street cars
in opposition to the rules of the companies and
the decisions of the Supremo Court. Another
iustaucc ot this kind of conduct on the part of a
colored man happened yesterday on a car of the
Arch street Railway Company above Broad
street. The colored man being requested to va
cate, reluscd to do so. The car was put off the
the track and (lie colored individual allowed to
remain inside the motionless car. A. crowd soon
collected and a general discussion on the subject
of the rights of tlie colored people was indulged
iu. The most emphatic in expressing an opinion
was a colored woman “who didn’t see what right
u nigger had slicking himsclt amongst white
folks where he wasn't wanted, and getting the
white tolks down on ua." No further disturbance
occurred, and the colored man soon got tired of
his quiet position and vamosed.
Senator Yates.—Tho papers arc telling
about Senator Yates, of Illinois :*It is intimated
that Senator Wilson’s convert to tectotallsm,
Senator Yates, oi Illinois, does not hold out.
Being asked if lie lnid not signed the pledge, lie
coolly replied that for years he had given notice
that no note, bond or pledge of bis, given when
under the influence ot liquor, had any legal or
moral binding force. He will need converting
often.
