derive their powers from the consent of the gov
erned, but from tlio merest caprice of a rump
Congress.
“ Finally, republicanism means 1 general pros-
lierity,’ by paralyzing trade and commerce,
through the operation of ruinously high lands,
under the falso pretense of uffordiug protection
to home industry. The almost total annihila
tion of onr once great shipping interest is nota
bly it feature ol that ‘great prosperity’ of which
we expect to have a great deal more, before wo
have less, if this tiling called Republicanism is
to lie continued."
It any tiling could confound "Old Horace"
the foregoing apt reply ol the Express, truthfully
illustrative ns it is of wlmt Republicanism lias
done for tlio country, would have that etlect
upon him. The term itself has become indica
tive ot anything else than “peace," or "economy,”
or "good government,” or “general prosperity.”
Instead ot “peace,” it brought upon the country
war; instead of “economy," its rule lias been at
tended by licentious extravagance in all of its
expenditures; instead ol “good government,” it
has given tho country a government which par
takes more ot the nature of jacobinism in the
days of Danton and Marat, ot French revolu
tionary memory, than ol American Republican
ism in the early history of the United States;
and instead of “general prosperity," it has given
to the country, East, West, North, and Sooth,
general prostration of every interest, manufac
turing, commercial, financial, agricultural—all
prostrated now under Republican rulo. Woli
may tho Express remark that the Tribunes Re
publicanism arrayed "one-half the country ngaiust
tho other in dendly hostilitythat while it "lins
helped to run up a national debt of nearly three
thousand millions of dollars,” it has imposed
upon the people taxes, "the like of which were
utterly unknown before, and mortgaged labor
and industry to capital at least for a generation
to comeand well may it cite as evidence ol
tlio “good government" the present “political
and social condition of at least ten States of the
Union.” “Good government" indeed! The Con
stitution set at naught; tlio Executive anil Ju
diciary departments ignored, their respective
heads treated with contempt; the military de
clared superior to the civil authorities; this is
the Republicanism of the present day which Mr.
Ureeley says means “peace, economy, good gov
ernment, general prosperity.” To what will
not fanaticism lend ? In dofent, it becomes ob
stinate and persevering; in triumph, it perse
cutes and destroys. Established as the Govern
ment of the United States originally was, it was
the “best government in the world;’’ now, it is a
Republicanism fathered by such men as Sumner,
Wilson, and Greeley, instead of Washington,
Jetlerson, and Madison. Who can wonder at
Hie doleful cliango ?
Gen. Sherman.—Some of the papers west are
again beginning to talk of Tccuinseh Sherman, in
connectisn with the next presidential nomina
tion. He lias recently been heard from as agree
ing, “in the main, with the reconstruction pol
icy of Congress," which ought to give him addi
tional claims upon the Southern heart. Wo be
lieve, however, as yet no Southern paper lias
been silly enough to run up his name for the dif -
linguislied position.
An Opinion.—Hon. W. W. Boyce, formerly
of South Carolina, in a recent letter, says: “ All
expressions through the press, or otherwise,
against the dominant party here, should lie
avoided."
It is uot stated where Mr. Boyce was located
when lie gave utterance to this expression, hut
we suppose up North. He thicks it unwise to
be poking sticks at the Radical animal, no mat
ter liow great the provocation. Mr. Boyce is
clearly entitled to his opinion—just the same as
any other man.
Union of Puesbytekians.—Mr. George II
Stuart, ot Philadelphia, chairman of the com
mittee to make arrangements for a convention
to promote the union of the various churches of
the Presbyterian order, has issued a call, naming
flic first Wednesday, the Oth of November, as
llie time when tiie convention shall be held in
Philadelphia. Tho call closes as follow’s:
“ From the interest already manifested, there
is rcitsou to anticipate a large and influential
meeting. It is hoped that ail the churches of
Presbyterian order, in every part ol our land,
will be represented, and that measures will be
taken wbicli will result in effecting that union
among all His people for which tint Nivior
prayed, and which all who have His spirit so ar
dently desire.”
The Kentucky Ei.kctions.—The Louisville
Courier, speculating upon tho result of the elec
lions in Kentucky lust Monday, snys:
The glorious majority yesterday accorded to
our ticket is due solely to the will of Hie people
Here white men were not disfranchised, and
ignorant negroes enfranchised; and here there
was perfect freedom of action for the people.
The Radicals had their candidates in this State,
as they had in Tennessee; hut, thank Heaven,
they had not the power to defeat the will of Hie
people. The members of tlio Democratic parly,
though in so great a majority, inndc no attempt
at intimidation. Every Kentuckian consulted
Lis own judgment and inclination. In Bliort,
the election of yesterday was ono of those free,
uutrammcled expositions of popular sentiment
universal in the State before the curse of rod!
calism was inflicted upon the people.
A Distinguished Northern gentleman, wri
ting to the editor of the Vicksburg Herald &
Missimppian, gives this advice to the Southern
people: “Be united, yield nothing willingly
. which is not the rigid and duty of each Statu un
der tho Constitution, to tiie cud that when tiic
day of retribution comes you will not lrave sold
your birthright, not even lor a mess of pottage,
nor out of craven fear."
Genkrai. McClellan.—It buying been au
thoritutively announced in the Republican papers
so-called, that the hero of the Chickahominy
Swamps would return to Iho United States in a
Bhort timo and support U. 8. Grant tor tho Pre
sidency, there can, of course, be no further ques
tion as to the latter’s candidacy.
The II akvests —We could fill columns from
our Western exchanges, telling of the abundant
lmrvests in almost every direction. Tho almost
incessant rains have inliicled fie less injury limn
might have been expected.
Homicide.—'The Griffin Htar says that on
Tuesday last, a uegro boy, some fourteen years
old, killed a negro man, bis employe), near Me
Donougb. The boy was captured io Urifllu.aud
will be tried for.tbe offense.

er miseries, without tlio possibility of practical
benefit.
Bussing by all tlio fustian, and passion, and
self-laudallou, and assumed wisdom and states
manship of the writer of tlio “Notes on Hie
Situation," let us look at tiie proposed remedy
stripped of all its bombast and verbosity, and
see if it contains a single suggestion that is
practical or even possible. It not, it is simply
tlio recurrence of a similar convulsion recorded
hundreds ot years ago, when the mountains
labored and a ridiculous mouse was brought
tortli. Wlmt, then, iB the'relief which our po
litical prophet proposes, as a deliverance (or our
people, ngainst the Military Bills and the power
of the conqueror, in the present emergency ?
A country clergyman is said to have announc
ed the division ol his sermon under tlireo beads.
1 propose, said he, under the first head to show
wlmt the Apostle did not mean; under the
second licad to stiow wlmt lie did mean, and
under Hie third head to get up a rousement gen
erally. Now it seems that Air. Hill’s notes were
all written under the third head, und Ids remedy
hangs upon tho following advice under that
head, lie says : “I, therefore, beg every citizen,
black ami white, even the humblest of tho ten
millions who inhabit these ten Slates, to remem
ber—never lorget—that it is hi9 right—his glo
rious, unpunishable, unimpeachable hioiit, to
resist crcry interference by any officer, high or
low, with liis property or his person, or his
liberty under these Military Bills.” And in the
Atlanta speech lie advises thorn, before God and
the country, to fight for and if need lie die for
their rights.
Is there any. ng practical in this? After four
years of gallain. resistance, when we have sur
rendered ami given up our arms, when we are
"impoverished” and have, as Mr. Hill says,given
up “four billions more ot property" “after wo
were impoverished”—when the Government,
wiUi vast resources, can bring a million of armed
men into tiie field agninst us, is it sensible or
practical to attempt to find a remedy in a re
newal of tlie fight. Will Mr. Hill lay aside liis
senatorial robes und dignity, this time, and shoul
der a musket aud go to the front anil engago in
the fight recommended by him ? We have not
even his pledge that he will. Then I dismiss that
part of the remedy as impracticable nonsense,
intended to fall under tho third head.
But he proposes two other modes of resistance.
Let us sec under which lieud they fall. He again
says: “Every officer, high or low, who seizes
the property of a citizen, tinder these Military
bills, is a trespasser, subject to indictment and
suits lor damages as nulivuluals. That every
sucli officer who arrests a citizen, under those
bills, Is guilty of false imprisonment, ami subject
likewise us au individual; and is amenable to
tlio writ of habeas corpus before any court, State
or Federal, having jurisdiction to issue the writ.”
Ho then advises alt citizens, who are arrested or
their properly interfered with, to avail them
selves ot these remedies by suit, habeas corpus or
indictment.
Mr. Hill, whose “client is the written Consti
tution," by which, under all circumstunces, lie
stands so resolutely and firmly, promises to aid
them without fee or reward whenever they see
him at a court! Is this practicable?
The act of Congress expressly prohibits any
Judge of the United States Courts to interfere,
or to entertain jurisdiction in any case nrlsing
under the execution ot tlio Military bills. Anil
the Supreme Court of the United States lias, in
the Georgia and Mississippi cases, refused to
entertain jurisdiction, and thwart the execution
if these laws, beoauso the question is political
mid belongs to Hie other departments of the
government. Then the United States Courts
would neither entertain the suit nor the indict
incut, or grant tiie habeas corpus. Nothing prac
tical yet. The act of Congress declares the pre
scut governments of the ten States illegal and
authorizes the commanding General to set aside
the Judges or other officers at any moment of
their pleasure.
Suppose General Pope orders the arrest ot
I.iIiii Smith, ill Atlanta, anil Joliu adopts Mr.
Hill’s advice, anil sues the General for damages,
and indicts him lor falso imprisonment. The
lion. John Collier, Judire of the Circuit, now
holds liis office at the will of General Pope, and
the grand jury set only at liis pleasure. The act
of Congress expressly denies to Judge Collier
and tiie grand jury any jurisdiction in such case,
icncral Pope is placed hero to execute this act
if Congress. Consequently, it is ninde liis duty
o see that Judge Collier, who is subject to re
moval at liis will, entertains jurisdiction of no
such case. Now, suppose the General should
inter the suit and tlio indictment dismissed; or,
suppose Hie Judge should grunt a writ ot habeas
corpus for tiie release of John Irom imprison
ment, and the General should refuse to obey it
The General, with an act of Congress in his
favor, has the army of the United States at liis
bidding to execute liis orders. Tlio Judge lias
tiie sheriff with whom to resist this army, who
also holds liis office at the pleasure ot tlio Gene-
I. Who must prevail, the Judge or the Gene
rul? Unless Mr. Hill, whose client is the Con
stitution, should bo there to represent John, it
would seem that thu General must he tlio victor.
And it should uot lie overlooked by John,
wlien lie institutes his proceedings, that Mr. Hill’t
promise to represent him is subject to the condi
lion that lie sees Mr. Hill in court at Hie time.—
Now it is at least possible, that here would he
an insuperable obstacle in the way of John’ssuc
cess. Mr. Hill would, ot course, have to ex
amine the written Constitution very carefully be
fore lie appeared in court on that occasion ; and
might conclude it to lie ns unconstitutional lor
him to be there us it was for him to shoulder liis
gnu and go to the front witli the Troup county
cmqpuny, alter he Imd volunteered and pledged
himself to go. Wlmt practical efficacy, then,
is to be found in this purl of the remedy ?
The only remaining point in the remedy is
summed up in Mr. Hill’s own language in the
following quotation;
“ 1 earnestly hope the people of each of tiie
ten States will go boldly lorwurd, and preserve
and continue their existing State governments,
and hold all elections in Hie manner und at tiie
time prescribed ' • existing State Constitutions,
wifi choose otllc- s qualified according to exist
ing State Constitutions and laws. It any citi
zen or offiicer shall he interfered with in exer
cising his rights under these laws, or in dis
charging the duties of uny ofHce to which lie
may lie chosen, let him make the issue fearlessly.”
Tiie law of Congress as already remarked, de
clares the existing State governments illegal,
and gives tiie military commander power to set
them aside at pleasure. It ulso confers suffrage
on tiie freedmen, aud allows no election to lie
held till they, with the whito men not disfran
cliised, are registered. The law also makes it
the duty of the commander of each military
district 11 see that its provisions are executed,
und gives him ull Hie military torce necessary to
that purpose. Now, suppose, on tho first Wednes
day in October next, the people of Atlanta, or
those within the reuch of any oilier military
torce within the Slate, deluded by Mr. Hill’s no
vice, should open Hie polls and procoed to hold
an election lor Governor, members of tlio Legis
lature, Ac., und Bliould ullow none hut white men,
who uru qualified uuder existing laws, to vote,
liow long would the polls lie open before all en
gaged in the election would be under urrest and
uu ihcir way to prison ? They would, however,
have tiiis single consolation, in their misfortune,
Mr. Hill advised them “ to make the issue/eir-
tessly.”
Again, supixise tlio elections were hold in dif
ferent purls of the Stale, without the knowledge
of the military, and the Legislature elected should
assemble ami attempt to inaugurate tlio Govern
or elect. What docs any limn, not blinded with
passlou, nor demented witli prejudice, suppose
would lie the result?
They would tie treated as Ureshlcul Johnson

Another Threat of Confiscation.—A dis
patch Irom Washington says: A recent letter
trom Hon. Thaddeus Stevens to a Radical
Irlenil in this city states that a Dill wifi be
presented at tho opening of the November Con
gressional session for confiscating (lie property
of all Southern ex-slaveholders who dismiss the
freedmou for voting tiie Republican ticket.—
Senator Wilson, it is understood, strongly fa
vours this course. The names of such ex-rehels
are to be collected by tlio military commanders
lor reference.
Tlio foregoing is bad news for people who
grew rich and fat iluriug the late war upon the
blood and misery of the country.
Popular Sovereignty Exemplified—In
19(10 the people of Texas had an election lor
Governor, which resulted as follows: Throck
morton, 48,671; E. M. Pease, 12,051. Pease
was the Radical candidate, and the people inti
mated tliat they did uot want him by a vote of
lour to one. But of what avail is the vote of a
people of a sovereign State ? The choice was
not satislactory to that most important person
ago, General Sheridan, known as "Philip, Duko
of Orleans," who is now governing the South
west after the fashion of an Emperor. By the
Duke’s fiat, Air. Throckmorton is set aside, and
Pease substituted in liis stead. Tlio Cincinnati
Enquirer thinks this a heavy commentary upon
Hie glorious idea of popular sovereignty.
The Indian Wail—A dispntch Irom Fort
Darker ot Hie 4th says:
The Indians attacked nud killed seven men
yesterday, six miles from this post. One ot tlio
men was living when first found, but died before
reaching this Fort. The men killed were labor
ers on the railroad, and in the employ ot Camp
bell & Clinton, contractors.
Alter scalping two of tiie men, the Bavages
proceeded on to Big Creek stago station, and
ran off twenty horses and mules. This was done
in daylight, aud while exposed to the fire of fifty
infantry and a dozen stage employees, at a dis
tance of three hundred yards from them. It is
considered the boldest dasli the Indiuus have
made.
A Clinoueu.—The Chattanooga Union, one
ot tho most spirited of our exchanges, embodies
a good deal of good sense in the following short
paragraph : '
It will bo seen from our dispatches that Juilgo
Lawrence, of Nashville, liai been authorized by
General Carlin to look after tho interests of tho
negroes discharged for voting the radical ticket
When the manufacturers of Connecticut dis
charged their workmen Inst spring tor not voting
the radical ticket, we never heard that theFrecd-
men’s Bureau deemed it necessary to interfere.—
This whole freedmen’s business is the most in
fernal humbug of tho age. If the negroes arc
fit to exercise the rights ol citizenship, they are
certainly in need of no othor protection than the
laws give to white citizens, and if they are chil
dren, and need tho protection of the United
States continually, it is an imposition upon the
country, and an insult to its citizens to confei
upon them nn equality of civil rights with them
Sheridan.—The New York Tribune overruns
with fulsome eulogy of Qoneral Sheridan, whom
judging by the following outburst of tiuwliolu
some rhetoric, it protends to consider the great
eat and best man ill tho nation :
“The country (we are told) secs so much that
is grand in tiie character of Sheridan, that it will
not tamely submit to his degradation. Here is a
man who proved himself in war to be not only
the most brilliaut of all our Generals, but accord
ing to General Grant himself, if we may credit
twenty narratives, one of the greatest captains ol
modern times. The same of Sheridan is an ori
tlamme to-day," etc.
We forget now liow many barns it was that
Philip burned in tlio Shenandoah Valley, but it
seems the number was sufficient to place him in
the front rank “with the most brilliant of our
Generals.”
Coolie Labor.—It would seem that the State
ot Louisiana and Mississippi aro moving ener
getically in tho matter of Coolie labor, which is
destined rapidly to supply that heretofore fur
Dialled by the African. Ah You, a commis
sioner from the Chinese Government, lias intro
duced a goodly number into these States, aud
lias coutract8 from Alabama and Texas planters
for 5,000, to arrive within a few months. The
negroes having generally become politicans
under the manipulations of the dirty scavengers
of tlio Radical party, of course they wifi soon
he able to five without labor.
President-Making.—We learn through
AVashington letter that President-making there
is at a heavy discount. All parties are uusettled
and, with tiie departure of the wire-pullers from
the capital, lias gone all talk of the Presidency.
It seem9 to bo very generally conceded by the
Republicans tliat at this timo it is worse than
folly for that party to talk about a candidate,
though Hie removal of Sheriduu wifi, uo doubt
give an impetus to the considerations ol a proper
person, sucli as at present is not thought of.
Vengeance.—Air. Carrington, the public pro
secutor against Surratt, is said to have read
portion ol the Scriptures to show the jury tliut
Hie teachings of the Gospel commanded ven
geancu in ccrtuiu cases. It would be interesting to
know wlmt part of Hie “Gospel” he quoted.—
Was it tho text, “Vengeance is mino, I wifi repay,
suith the Lord.” The Scriptures, no doubt
teach that wrong-doers should be punished, but
they nowhere inculcate vengeance.
Gen. Pope.—A Washington correspondeut
writes :
Statements have been made recently in some
of Hie Now Y’ork papers tliat a deputation of
people Irom Alabama, waited upon thu Presi
dent and preferred complaints against General
Popo. The only knowledge the President lias
of the mutter is the statements ot these news
papers. No sucli committee waited upon the
President, aud no recent complaints liuve been
made against Pope.
AYiiat Difference?—If Uncle Sam must
swallow Mexico bodily, he could uot reftiBO to
assume and pay her debt—and its amount, if ho
were once “ in for it," would cause him to “ open
Ills eyes,” Bays the New York Tribune. Tills is
just wlmt thu President intimated about thu
Southern States, if Uncle Sam swallowed them,
about which the IVibune makes sucli fuss.
An Army of Officials.—A dispatch trom
Washington slates that a report is being made
up at Hie Treasury, showing that there uro over
20,000 officials couucclcd with tho department
throughout its various revenue branches. Twen
ty thousand officials in a singlo department of tho
government I This number is nearly double Hie

Wo learn that wlicu the passenger train of the
Mobile and Girard Railroad reached Station No.
4 on Monday, on its way to this city, the train
was invaded by a considerable crowd of negroes,
some of them armed, all clamoring (or free trans

“ mean whito man ” had been among them, rep
resenting that there was to be a public mooting
of the blacks in Columbus on Monday, when a
distribution of property of some kind would tie
made among them, and tliat a railroad train
would bring them to tills city without charge.—
flic rascal collected twenty-live cents from many
ot the negroes lor this information. The con
ductor had some difficulty in undeceiving the
negroes and getting them off tho train, and pro
bably would have lmd greater difficulty with
them but for tlio representations of some better
Intonncd blacks who were on the train. Alter
tlio passenger train Dad passed, they made a sim

ty was experienced in inducing them to leave

could pay for their passage.
The Cretan War.
The following dispatch was recieveil at Con
stantinople from Omar Pasha, on the 22d ull.
luted Splmkia, July 18 :
“Our soldiers alter two fights have routed the
insurgents and occupied the bights ol Caliskon-
tio and Spcndo, and after securing possession of
the mountains aud villages of the same name,
they proceeded across tiie plains of Asltcgo,
where tlioy effected a junction with the corps
which came from Apocorn. All the villages ol
the eastern ot Splmkia, and lastly the whole
district ol Splmkia, excepting eight villages,
which will easily he reduced, are now in the
bauds ot the Imperial troops. Tlio only re
source left to the insurgents is to take refuge in
the rocky and narrow, valleys ot the village of
Samaria, where they can only remain n lew
days, niter which there will be nothing left to
them but complete submission. The insur
gents who lmd taken refuge in the caverns at
Paelituuos and Capsoilusio submitted to-day to
the iiumbbr of 250 men and women, and amongst
whom were Cnpt. Annogotesti l'apadorki, a
member of the so-called Provisional Government
Cnpt. Mausdi and several other chiefs. Their
wives anti the property which they had placed
in the caverns have been and will lie religiously

Bey lms just cut to pieces the 400 Hellenic volun
teers lately disembarked in the Island, together
with their commander, Cnpt. Nietti, nnd two
Greek officers. He also captured 300 tons of
biscuit, 40 overcoats, and 1,200 lilies.
Fiianck.—Recently, in tlio French Chambers,
one of Hie speakers said tliat the tear of war
with Prussia rests like a nightmare upon all
France; tlio Bourse is feverish ; trade is utterly
stagnant; real estate finds purchasers only with
the greatest difficulty; merchants hesitate to re
plenish their stocks; the shipyards are idle. In

added, the whole country is ill ut ease.
