Leu«r from jr. A. Stewart, E*q.
The letter from this gentleman, which we pub
lish on our first page, expresses the views of nn
original“ Union man "—a Union mau previous
to,'and during the war; ono who maintained
that position at every hazard, as is well known
in ti)ia community and throughout upper Geor
gia. Having occupied a different position, our
self, previous to and during tho war, we aro not
prepared to endorse sentiments embraced in his
letter which refer to tho past. Nevertheless, wo
give place to the letter, trusting that it may ex
ercise a proper influence over the public mind,
and especially over the minds of Mr. Stownrl’s
old political associates, who havo any reason in
them loft, any sympathy with tho South and for
Southern men In Its and their day of sore trial
under cruel oppression.
nr. Seward Asked to Reelcu.
One ot the most significant “signs of tho times”
wo recognize In tho following, which appeared
la tho TtUeUigencer, at Washington, of the 83d
instant. We augur from it that tho Cabinet o(
the President is to be, as it was in the days of
tho “ Old Hickory" President, a unit. Had it
always been so, it bad doubtless been better for
the whole country.
Says the paper referred to:
“ There is ono gentleman of distinguished abil
ity and eminent public services whoso name has
been unfortunately more or less identified with
the obnoxious Secretary of War. To this influ
ence with Mr. Lincoln, whether unjustly or not,
the public largely attributed Mr. Stanton’s re.
tention in office. In most of ttie struggles which
took place in that Cabinet they heartily co-opc
rated. Public rumor has attributed to them a
greater closoncss of relationship in the prosent
administration—whether justly or unjustly does
uot aflect the real merits of the question. Un
fortunately, too, several circumstances havo
strongly corroborated that suspicion, for several
ol the strongest friends of the distinguished Sec
retary of State have been the sturdy champions
of the Secretary of War. The /uius Achates of
the former, who controlled the political fortunes
of the Empire State for years, and lins displayed
a political sagacity, a varied ability, and a con
summate tact that lma' not, perhaps,been surpassed
in the history of that State, has on all occasions
defended the defunct Cabinet minister, llis
echo—who follows nfar oil his great exemplar—
the trimming editor of the Timet, has also cncr
getically come to his rescue. To the exertions
of these three grenllemcn, more than to any and
all other causes, is the fact due that Mr. John
son so long delayed meting out justice to his re
fractory subordinate. The association has dam
aged Mr. Seward’s usefulness. We aro certainly
not among those who deny his exalted ability,
his unflinching patriotism, or his great services
to his country. We think that ho will live in
the future pages of its history long after tho pet
ty crowd ot ilia detractors shall have sunk out
of sight and be utterly forgotten. But there are
times when the only question a patriotic man
should ask is, how can I best advance tho inter
ests of my country by harmonizing all the
friends of constitutional government. The asso
ciations of which we have spoken will prevent
that unity of support among the friends ol the
Administration, .which, in our judgment, is in
dispensable to his success. Under such circum
stances it is believed no true friend of the Secre
tary could object to his retirement from the office
he lias filled with so much ability and with such
honor to himself and the country.”
“The Ball Hollins.**
The Opinion is “ exceedingly encouraged ” nt
the proems (?) being made by “ Messrs. Mark
ham, Gaskill, Farrow, and Dunning,” aided by a
“ number ot gentlemen iu the several counties,”
in rolling the radical ball over Georgia. If tho
ten Staton of tlm Smith now under military rule
were starched (or political leaders less qualified to
advance any cause, than the four individuals re
(erred to in the foregoing, they could not be
found. All that Is necessary to constitute the po
litical leader—personal influence, intellect, elo
quence—neither one of them possesses in even
an ordinary degree; and when we read of the
great tilings they accomplish, with the political
“ Trays, Blanches and Sweethearts ” they pick tip
in their peregrinations Iront county to county,
wo put it all down as “ bosh " and decline to be
“ gammoned ” in that way. The Opinion is bold
in venturing to claim a tithe of what it lias done
for the tour Atlanta radical ball rollers, whoso la
bors it lias thought proper to attach importance
to. We submit to the Editor if lie did not faint
after he had perpetrated the puff. Our only
wonder is that he did not expire 1 Markham
and Dunning! Farrow and Gaskill I "Ye gods
and little fishes," how has it come about that the
day of small things overshadows all that is lu
minous and great?

The Baltimore Sun in a recent article on the
two races gives the following excellent udvierf to
the colored men of the South, which we com
mend to their grave consideration, especially in
this vicinity, where they are beset by so many
evil influences and rndicnl incendiaries. Says
the Sun :
“It is to be hoped that the colored men will
uot permit themselves to act upon the belief,
which incendiary white men are seeking to in
still into them, that the laws ot the land are in
sufficient for their protection, and that, in order
to be secure, they must adopt a practice ot the
most vicious and degraded class of whites. Ev
ery one recollects the execration and loathing by
which that class, who formerly disturbed the
peace of this community, were looked upon by
all good citizens, both white and colored, and
why should colored men permit themselves to
be degraded to the level of such habits, whicli
will inevitably render them objects of the same
execration and loathing ? Their true friends
feel profoundly solicitous to elevate them above
such a late, and to encourage them, everywhere,
by good order and industry, to show that two
races, which have every reason for mutual good
will and co-operation, can continue to live to
gethcr on the same soil in amity and peace.”

“when Die President's aid waited upon General

And "rc£y welt' it Is to the country that the

other orders ot the President iu the same cool

The Rumored Removals.—It is now a set
tled fact that General Howard will be relieved
trnm bis position as Commissioner of the Frecd-
men’s Bureau. The President has contemplated
mnking the change for a long time post, but not
uutil Mr. tauten and General Sheridan were
removed did he decide to'act in General How
ard’s case immediately. The order for the re
moval of the General may he looked lor this
week, indeed is expected every day at the head
quarters of Lite Freedmen’s Bureau. General
Grunt is also opposing this step of the President,

those on the removal of Mr. Stanton and Gen-
aral Sheridan.

Tho Nnt Bra, of Atlanta, of recent date, con
tains a letter purporting to have been written
from this place, and detailing factB said to havo
ocourred hero, about as follows: A man arrived
horc a few days slnco, from Now Orleans, and
engaged rooms nt tho Franklin House. Upon
his return to tho place, ho went to tho Uppor
House, when Colonol Ross, tho proprietor ot tho
Franklin House, addressed him a note, demand
ing ten dollars for tho timo he had kept the room
locked up. Tills was sent, with a note to Colo
nel Ross, stating, na a reason for his not coming
to his house, that ho would not board in a liouso
whore Yankee officers boarded, or associate with
those who entertained them.
Now for tho facts. A gentleman and his lady,
from New Orleans, arrived hero tho Saturday
preceding Commencement, and in consoqucnco
of the crowd, could not procure a room at tho
Irwin House. Ho then repaired to tho Franklin
House, where ho selected a room. Upon com
ing into the street, ho met Dr. Moore, an ac
quaintance and friend, and the son of tho friend of
this old gontieman fifty years ago, who kindly in
vited him to bring his family to his house and re
main until the crowd, consequent upon the com
mencement, should have dispersed. The gentle
mau returned immediately, and informed tho pro
prictor of tho Franklin House of his intention of
going to Dr. Moore’s, and it was agreed that lie
(tho proprietor) should use the room. Subsc
quently, this gctlemnn, for reasons not necessary
hero to mention, declined the idea of taking the
room, and procured one to his satisfaction at the
Irwin House, when Colonel Ross tendered,
through a note, a hill for ten dollars. This, I
am instructed to say, was promptly paid into the
hands of tho messenger who brought tho note;
and I am further instructed to say, no note was
written by this gcntloman—as stated in this
Bra letter—of any description whatever, nor
lias lie ever written a note to Colonol Ross, or
any one connected witli his house. Tho Bra
letter charges that there was a nolo written, aud
it assigued, as a reason for refusing the room,
that Yankees boarded atlhe liouso,and he would
not associate with Yankee officers or those who
entertained them. This statement is a bold
falsehood, and it Colonel Ross furnished it, lie
lias shamelessly slandered a stranger sojourning
in our midst for a time. In consequence of this
statement, this gentleman recieved a note from
the military commandant of this post to repair
to liis headquarters, where lie was insulted by
this commaudnnt’s asking him if lie had made
this statement. This little satrap can best
give what transpired upon the occasion,
and if ho is satisfied, I will assure him the other
party is. This much I will state ho was told by
the gentlemau: that in conversation lie had said
ho would not board in a house where Yankee
officers boarded; and if it was offending to him,
or any other man, tie was personally responsible,
aud would promptly respond to any call that
might be made upon him. What are we coming
to? ' Will the military exact a permit from gen
tlemen ns to the places where they shall board ;
and is the Franklin House, in our town, to he
patronized by their order; and are strange gen
tlemen visillug here to bo hauled up to answer
for not going there? This contemptible act ol
petty tyranny lias been perpetrated here by a
captain of the United States army, and upon
whom ? a gentleman, who, after an nbsence
of forty-five years, had returned to view the
scenes of early associations, and who is
native of Georgia, and who by this shame
less letter writer, is twitted for not having
been in the Confederate army. Allow me to
state what I do know. This New Orleans gen
tleman is now 08 years of age; that lie had sev
en sons in the Confederate army, four of whom
perished, and one on the 28th ot July, 1804, on
the Federal breast works at Atlanta, and by
them was buried. All of these were well known
to the editor who published this letter with its
nnnloiuptltitn lierttling, wlion lio was nn editor in
Louisann, and n blatant secessionist. This has
been shown to the gentleman from New Orleans,
and we are authorized to say every word is cor
rectly true; and furthermore authorises its pub
lication. He sends his name, which will be given
to any gentleman who may feel himself agrieved.
He will, until the tcntli of September, be found
at the Irwin House in this place.

In your issue of the 25th of August, “ Lump
kin ” calls upon “ every Georgian who has a son
to educate" to enter him at Franklin College,
Athens, “ ns a means ot evincing his fidelity to
his homo, and his disapproval ami rebuke of the
wrong done her" by the General commanding
this district. I sincerely hope that the next ses
sion may witness a large influx of students at
Athens, and thnt tho appropriation which lias
been, for the time, lost by an unfortunate speecli
may he more than compensated by the increased
patronage.
But I took up my peu to say that I cannot con.
cur with your correspondent iu wishing that
“every Georgian” would seud his son to Athens.
In such an event there would bo no pupils left
lor Mercer University. It is true that this insti
tutiou is uot so old os Franklin, but it makes up
in oilier merits what it may lack in age. You
may take the present faculty, man by man, and
an impartial and competent tribunal would pro
nounce them equal iu scholarship ami power ol
communication to the best men at Athena. Mer
cer lias for a quarter of a century beeu sending
out her educated sons; and they are filling to
day some of the most influential positions, as
teachers, jurists, physicians and divines. Geor
gia lias furnished no scholarship superior to that
which has been afforded at Mercer for the last
twenty years. All praise to Franklin for what
she has done in the cause of education. Let
her be supported. But 1 hope she will not ab
sorb the patronage so exhaustively as to empty
the halls of Mercer.
Your correspondent is mistaken in supposing
that Franklin College was the ouly college in the
State until a comparatively recent date. Mercer
lias been in lull operation for thirty years. Ogle
thorpe and Emory also claim to bo of age. He
commits another error iu saying that Governor
Jenkins and Robert Toombs graduated at Ath
ens. Neither of them is an alumnus ol Frank
lin. Amicus.
The Lynchburg Virginian says: “The idea ol
sending negroes to Congress is widely discussed
and approved. We heard a number of gentle
men say yesterday they wore in favor of it, aud
hoped it would lie done. The blacks only have
to shove a few Bcally wag whites out of their way,
und the field will he clear. They can have it
all their own way. And why may they uot go
to Congress? The Radicals have given them tho
power, and let them use it. If they are admitted,
very well; if they are rejected, it will prove tho
hollowness ol Radical pretensions. Let them
make the issuo, and have their rights clearly de
fined.
Gen. Meade says he lias little confidence in
politicians, as such j he thinks the Presidential
nomination is being manipulated at present with
a considerable amount ot shrewdness; that a
clnsa of men are now putting General Grant for
ward upon one sldo and General Sheridan upon
the other, and when they have sufficiently pitted
these two popular military men against eacli
other they will both be dropped and Secretary
Chase he taken up as the "third man,” being a
civilian aud supposed to be available. He agreed
with us that the position ol General Graul is u
Pet ter one than the Presidency; hut thought the
time would come when Grant would naturally
desire to retire from public life, and it would lie
more desirable to do so from the White House
than from tb$ head of the army. He conceives
that the friends ot Chase will leave no means
untried to secure the nomination.
The Crisis >nd «be Remedy,
Tho following editorial articlo was published
in tho New York HornUl ot Thursday last. It
will bo observed that tho removal of Shoridan Is
sustained ns constitutional and legal, and that
Mr. Johnson is called on to chock tho wavo of
Radicalism.
Over thirty millions of people to ho ruled by
Puritanism and tho uogrol Tills is tho result of
four years of terrible war; tho sacrifica of two
hundred thousand lives; tho sinking of national
morality; the wrecking of commerce; the ruin
of our agricultural interests; the imposing upon
our country a dobt of three thousand millions of
dollars. Tho nmd revolutionary* clement thnt
blindly urges tho nation to ruin still continues its
raco. To halt is death to them; and yet they
must bo halted. True to thoir ideas, and true to
revolutionary rules, they begin now to approach
tho second plinso In the ovorfhrow of nil gov
ernment. Heretofore thoy havo followed n sin-
glo idea to its wildest extreme; they now re-
duco themselves to upholding men instead of
principles. They now strike tuo namo of Sheri
dan as the loudest note upon their political
harp, and would mako the country helievo
that) tlie transfer of Hint officer to other du
ties is nn assault upon them. In the trans
fer of Sheridan wo seo nothing outsido of the
simple military right which exists in the hands
of the President to carry out tho duty devolving
upon him as Commander-in-Chicf ot our nriny
and Executive of tho nation. If lie thinks flint
a change of officers Is desirable in any command,
lie is acting properly in making that change.
General Grant, ns a soldier, shows his good senso
in obeying the order to assign Sheridan to other
duty. It alters no law that Congress lias made
and affects no principle ol reconstruction, ns is
proven by Grant’s order to Thomas, whicli is
virtually a simple change ol executives to carry
out the same general plan. The relntivo merits
of Thomas and Sheridan to fill tho position arc
scarcely wortli arguing. Sheridan is a bold,
dashing soldier, with a statesmanlike mind that
leaps to a conclusion and nn exercise of rigid
justice. What is overturned in the leap some
times wounds when the sensibilities aro keen.—
Thomas, comprehensive and great in solid mill
tary genius, moves slower, but with not less of
certainty und justice; but in his exercise of
power he will wound less Ilian the brilliant
cavalry officer who 1ms—first on the field, and
next in the mo3t difficult of the live Military
Reconstruction Districts—challenged our admi
ration. The country loses nothing in the change;
tlie law is not altered ; reconstruction goes on as
before and in the same channel
Tlie removal of Sheridan will perhaps elevate
him. It almost placesa Presidential nomination
in liis grasp. Tlie great Radical element of tlie
country, looking tor an exponent ol its will, may
turn to Sheridan. General Grant who leels
somewhat disposed to remain in a position which
makes him tlie focus of power, will throw his in
fluence iu tho scale of liis lavorite. Tho recon
struction problem, however, in its present phase,
is bringing daily new elements to tlie surface;
and until we know if Mr. Johnson will play his
great trump card or not there enn be but litlli
certainty about the next Presidency. That
trump card it is now time that Mr. Johnson
should play. The moment lias come; the revo
lutionary wave which freed the negro is now
dualling him against the common sense of tlie
country, to the ruin of its present interests and
its future greatness. We aro now threatened
with a negro representative from eacli Congres
sional District in tlie South, and the code whicli
is to govern the United States may reccivo law
based upou ignorance instead of education. Tin
wave must he stopped ; it has broken from tlie
control of those who first gave it impulse. The
national revulsion of feeling demands that it he
halted, and demands, too, that Sir. Johnson halt
it. Let him strike the blow; let him now give
tiie country universal amnesty. The negro will
then take Ids proper place, and in the light ot a
freedom which is liis right lie may emerge from
meulul darkness. Witli universal amnesty the
reconstruction problem will be finished ut a
stroke; intelligence will replace ignorance, and
Puritanism ami tlie negro may' take position
second to the common sense of the country.

That is the question which, now more than
ever, perplexes tho party ot great moral ideas.
The Times keens on making believe it thinks he
is in accord with the Jacobins, yet it is plainly
apparent, from tlie following, that tho editor is
not halt so easy in liis mind ns he pretends
“This conflict of statement on a matter con
cerning which the country is entitled to know
the whole truth, illustrates the necessity lor nn
early publication of tlie correspondence between
General Grant and tlie President in regard both
to Mr. Stanton and General Sheridan. We can
understand the motive of Mr. Johnson in with
holding these 1 o.i tors from tlie country. Doubt
less lie realizes Hie advantage to he derived from
tlie bare supposition that Grant is, to some ex
tent, on liis side. But any advantage of this na
ture will he too brief in its duration to atone for
the odium whicli tlie President incurs lor his ap
parent connection with the disingenuous state
ments which have found their way into newspa
pers. Three mouths at tho furthest will drag
irom him Hie documents ho now keeps secret.—
Why wait lor Hie compulsory call ol Congress?
Wliy attempt to evade the responsibility ot a
‘policy’ which Is altogether his own, and the con
sequences of whicli lie should be content to
carry ? Let the people read these Qrant-Jolm-
son letters without delay.”
Tho Tribune, not daring to attack Got). Graiit
openly, tlius continues a raking fire upon him
from its masked batteries:
" Andrew Johnson (we are told) does not re
tract; no sane man can hope that a movement
whicli begins witli tlie removal of Sheridan can
mean repentance or remorse. Tho change is
from the defensive to tlie ollensive, and Mr.
Johnson marshals liis desperate forco to open at
tack upon Congress. It may reconstruct the
laws, but he will reconstruct the machinery by
which they arc administered. Wo believe that
tlie President desires to so Tar modify liis policy
that it may obtain the support of the Conserva
tive Republicans, and to duzzle with th-i robbery
of great names, or tlie hotrayul of gram, reputa
tions, the perception of tho people. Ho throws
Hie lame of Thomas as avail over the down fall
of loyalty in Louisiana, and makes the General
of the army a sentinel at Hie door of tlie White
House.”
Tlie editor winds up witli a threat,—
“But beneath and beyond all this parade, the
keen eyes ol tlie people detect the swiftly mov
ing, unrelenting toe pushing onward to tlie at
tack. They know in Andrew Johnson a man
resolved to prevent the reconstruction of tlie
South upon the principles they have laid down
through Congress; they know that his purpose
is to replace tlie Rebel States in tlie Union with
out guarantees or pledges, tree to repudiate here-
niter their surrender ot rebel principles; they
know Hint when he disgraced Sheridan, he in
sulted them. They perfectly understand that he
inenuB war, and no longer one of defensive stra
tegy, hut a deliberate and combined aggression."

The Tribune publishes the following:
CARD FROM (IF.NERAL ROUSSEAU.
Sir: Your special Washington- correspondent
of yesterday telegraphs:
“ It is said, on good authority, that Sheridan
had made out un order for tlie arrest and trial be
fore a military commission of Generals Steed-
man aud Rousseau, for impeding reconstruction.
The law gives him that power. Rousseau ami
Steedman suddenly left New Orleans, and tlie
arrest wits thus prevented.”
That General Slieridau made out an order for
the arrest of General Steedman and myself may
ho true, hut I neither know nor do I believe it to
be true. The insinuation in the above paragragh
that Generals Steedman and Rousseau “ sudden
ly left New Orleans to avoid arrest," is siinpiy a
malicious, if not a malignant invention, and its
author is either a very credulous and simple, or
else a very artlul or reckless labricator. As your
correspondent shields himself behind the words
“ it is said on good authority,” lie is supposed to
be no flirtber responsible in tlie premises than
any other journalist in his particular department.
But as perhaps it will not do to lei the statement
go uncontradicted, I am rather forced into the an
noyance of this reply.
Let me tell you, Mr. Editor, Hint General Sheri
dan knew perfectly well, and from my own lips,
tlie day and hour oi the day of my departure
from New Orleans, and so had full opportunity
to enforce an arrest, if, indeed, he designed one.
Perhaps it is well enough to add, as a fact
within my knowledge, that General Steedman,
who was to have left New Orleans with me, was
detained iu Hint city lor several days after my
departure, by Hie serious illucss ot a nephew.—
I liuve not heard Hint any effort was made to ar
rest him.
It is not tlie habit of either General Steedman
or myself to “ depart suddenly." Yours very
respectfully, Lovkli. II. Rousseau.

Recollection* of CsWMfei
llUNNINO DOWN AN INDIAN.
There was ono othor cadet at tho Point with
mo whom I must not omit to montion na a ro-
markablo man, and ono who has sincobcon vory
conspicuous. I rolcr to Lucius B. Nortlirup, lato
CommiBsary-Genoral of tlie Confederate States.
When I recollect him at tho Academy, ho was a
handsome young man, with an ollvo comploxlon,
long black hair, very erect, ntul walked looking
straight before him, neither to the right nor tho
loft deigning a glance. Ho would fight on tho
droop of a pin. Ills carter in the army alter-
wards woa cut short by an untoward accident.—
Ho was sent by the commanding officer some
where out in Arknnsasor in tho Indian Territory,
to arrest a notorious desperado. The general
bolief was that tlie man would resist, and kill
nny officer attempting to nrrest him; aiid North-
rup having to ascend a ladder into a loft to get
at tho desperado, carried his pistol cocked. Un
fortunately it went off prematurely, and shot
Northrup in the leg, permanently disabling him.
Nortlimp was always very fond of horses, nnd
generally rode splendid animals. In Gcnoral
Dodge’B famous expedition, many years ago on
tho plains and out into a country that was then
an unknown land, and broken upon as u sort of
terra ineognitia, Northrup was an officer in the
expedition,
Dodge’s object was to negotiate with tho In
dians and conciliate them. But as lie advanced
into the the country the Indians nil fled at his
approach. The army would sco them in tlie dis
tance, on the tops of hills, watching their pro
gress; but Mr. Redskin would disappear ns the
‘pnlc faces’ came up. All hopes of negotiation
seemed fruitless; you could not get a palaver
with them ; nothing would induce them to come
into our camp. Finally Northrup snid he would
bring nn Indian in. lie rode a magnificent
blooded mare ot great speed and endurance.—
The next morning, before dny, Nortlirup started
out in advance ol the column, and made a long
detour. At tlie usual hour the column marched!
As they advanced they saw nn Indian on Ills fleet
little pony, with liis lance, watching their pro
gress Irom tho top of a distant bill. Suddenly
Air. Redskin darted like an arrow Irom a
liow down the side of tho hill, his little pony at
full speed running across the foot of the column,
und presently Nortlirup appeared after Mr. In
dian with a sharp slick, and riding as hard ns he
could go. lie had got iu Hie rear of the Indian,
and wus going to oatcli him by running him
down. The chase was very exciting, for we
could see the whole of it. Finally the blooded
mare of Nortlirup brought Mr. Redskin’s pony
to a stand. Of course Redskin was frightened
out of his wits at thus being run down ar.d over
taken, and expected immediate death and scalp
ing. Lieutenant Nqrthrup brought liis prize
safely into camp, where General Dodge, instead
ol killing, roasting ami eating him, as lie expect
ed, gave him plenty to eat ami drink, made him
presents, and then, after explaining what lie
wanted with the Indians, let him go. After that
incident there was nn difficulty in having inter
views witli tlie Indians, and General Dodge ac
complishcd his negotiations.

There begins to he—wliat tlie Express lias long
foreseen—more than an uneasiness under the
heavy load of tlie national debt—or, in other
words, it is now demonstrated that tlie war cry
nf “ n nnf.inn.'il ilftlif. iu ft nntinnnl hlnaaimr ”
being
BY TELEGRAPH.
NEW YORK ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPA TOURS
of “ n national debt is a national blessing,’
a false cry. The Union is further from
restored than it was at tlie end of the war, while
the South is to he a perpetual debt durden to us
—no more a help-meet iu life.
Tlie Express has done all it could to pre-edu
cate people against these ideas of wars, or of
debt being blessings, or, that “ Unions ” were to
he restored or kept up by guns and epaulettes.
The Express lias also been trying to teach (as yet
in vain) that the principle of repudiation is not
confined to not paying our obligations, such
as bonds, Ac., but. that when once the people are
educated to pay no respect to paper constitu
tions, they will pay lyss respect to bonds, Ac.
for constitutions are higher and more solemn
obligations than honds; and it a government
repudiates constitutions, tlie people, thus taught
bad principles, will, if they can avoid the taxa
tion, repudiate mere paper promises to pay.
The startling proposition to pay the national
debt in printing paper, tlmt is, in greenbacks, is
not more startling than tlie proposition to make
this printing paper, "silver”.or “gold," or not
more extraordinary than the decision of Hie Court
of Appeals of this State,that to “coin money"
in the Federal Constitution means “ printing pa
per.”
All these startling propositions and Court ol
Appeals “decisions” are “repudiations’’—noth
ing less. To pay the national debt in green
hacks is one form of repudiation, while making
a niuu promised to be paid in coin take liis pay
iu printing paper, is another form of repudiation
The subversion of the Federal Constitution un
der tlie live monarclis is another repudiation.—
The Rump Congress—tho Rump ol a Rump-
now ejecting all tiie members of Congress from
Kentucky, is a monstrous repudiation of tlie
Federal Constitution. All such things and acts
teacli people not to regard or obey any obliga
tions.
Tlie Radicals have so demoralized our coun
try, that now there is no foreseeing where
schemes and projects will begin or end. VVe
have quartered upon tho Northern people a stu
pendous bureau, costing millions und millions,
called tlie Freedmen’s Bureau, to govern Hie
South—and wo have given this bureau fivo mon-
nrclis to uphold it. We have in this, utterly re
pudiated tlie principle of self, and State gov
ernment, and when tlie greenback printers, or
repudiatoni, are lectured by us for their ideas,
they silence ua by tlie citation ol such repudia
tions ol all constitutional law, of all the ftmdiv
mental principles of our government.
The only way for a Republican people to live,
or for a Republic to live, is to discharge all obli
gations, and tho first and greatest debt is tlie
oath of the administrators of the government, to
uphold tlie Constitution of tlie United States.—
Onco loosen the public mind from lids onlli, and
it breaks away from all other obligations—tor

Ke-acllou nt the North.
It lias been a matter of surprise Hint the peo
ple of the North sustained tlie party at present
in power, when iL was apparent tlmt their policy
had become so destructive; ami it was hoped
that such support was owing rather to a misap
prehension of tlie objects and purposes of these
lenders, than to any deliberate endorsement of
their views. Unless tlie people oi the Northern
States had fully made up their mind to do away
with free institutions and republican govern
ment, it was impossible to conclude that their
action bore all the significance which seemed to
attach to it. Thinking men linvc looked lor the
evidences of that re liction which it was thought
must set in. The restoration ol Hie Union and
tlie preservation of constitutional liberty ahso
lutely depend upon it, und we need not say that
the long delay lias been very trying. At last it
is thought, unmistakable indications can he seen
that the people of the North arc awaking to the
-•alities of the situation—they are beginning to
e thut, il the leaders are permitted to go un
checked, they will accomplish the ruin of the
nation, it is impossible to conceal from the peo
ple tho fact that tlie reconstruction policy has
accomplished tlie overthrow of republican
government of ten States ot tlie Uniou, aud
that it now menaces the liberties ol the people of
all tlm Slates. The policy whicli establishes
negro supremacy in ten States is rather too
much for the Northern people. Symptoms of
dissalisfacHon are apparent iu all parts ol the
country, and are uot by any means confined to
Democrats. They are to be seen iu the resolu
tions ot Republican meetings—in the speeches
of men identified with the uomiuant party—in
the results of local eleclions, where Democratic
majorities take tlie place of former Radical tri
umphs—in the editorial articles of journals that
have been heretofore violently Radical. The
New York Herald is not tlie only paper that bus
"scented the danger atar off'.’’ The South must
hide her time.—Columbia Phmix.
A Dreadful Calamity.—A party was given
last Thursday week at tlie house of Mrs. Hebron
near, Bovina, Mississippi. Before forty-eight
hours had passed, twelve of the persons who
had partaken of the entertainment—five of them
servants of the guesls-were dead, and nine
others were dangerously ill at last accounts. Tlie
unfortunate persons were attacked with violent
cholera symptoms and there was suspicion of
toul play. None ot the servants ot the house
were attacked. The Vicksburg Telegraph con
tains the following fist ot tlie dead:
Miss Ellen Tribble, Mias Rebecca Hebron, Mr

Georgia Neivi,
Auotsta, August 27.— 1 The University diffi
culty is giving rise to considerable feeling. It
is stated that the speech of the student nt tho
recent commencement caused General Pope to
take steps to close up the institution and convert
it into barracks. Through tho exertions of
Chancelor Lipscomb its exercises will bo allow
ed to continue, on condition, as alleged, that tho
press of tbe State should not refer to tho matter.
It is also stated Hint Gcnoral Pope baa ordered
the appropriation oi eight thousand dollars,
made by tlie Legislature, withheld.
Frcedmon in the First and Fourtli Districts
aro out in addresses to their fellow-citizens, irre
spective of color, ns candidates for Congress.—
They claim Hint the right to vote gives tlie right
to hold office, and ns thoy arc in the majority the
whites shall not be elected by their votes. The
candidates aro Conservatives, and in favor of
universal amnesty. It is tho impression that a
large number ol whites will vote for blacks in
preference to white men who can take the test
oath.
General Popo lias issued orders revoking, tem
porarily, so much of liis jury order ns interferes
with the present terms of civil courls, as tlie re
glstration lists are not complete. White jurors
will ho permitted to serve exclusively, provided
they havo registered.
Rains for the last two weeks have been unpre
cedentedly severe. Accounts from middle, South
ern and Southwestern Georgia, and Florida,
state that cotton prospects heretofore so prom
ising are now most gloomy. At last accounts it
was raining hard.

Washington, Aug. 27.—The breach between
tlie President and Grant is widening. Grant
is on defiant grouds in opposition to Executive
assignments. He protests against Hancock’s
removal from tlie Department of Missouri. Grant
has not yet promulgated instructions carrying
tlie President’s orders into effect.
This morning’s Tribune says: Gen. Sheridan,
in a letter to a gentleman of this city, thinks tlie
future prosperity of Louisiana beyond question,
and assures capitalists that tlie bonds recently
Issued have ample security.
The Indian War-C'holera, Ar,
Wasuington, Aug. 27.—Captain Arms, who
had a recent fight With the -Indians, has arrived
at Fort Hayes. He reports three killed, thirtv-
five wounded, and forty-five horses lost. After
the battle the Indians sent in a flag of truce
with this message: “ Tell your officers thut we
do not want peace ; we shall keep on fighting.”
Three hundred men, including tlie Kansas vol
unteers, left Fort Hayes yesterday after the In

Richmond, Aug. 27.—Gen. Schofield last week
ordered a commission ol magistrates in Hanover
county, to investigite whether colored military
organization existed. Investigation showed se
cret military organization of formidable strength
among blacks, which it is believed extends in

alarm among whites, who have neither organi

drops him,sayings “Tho political position as
sumed by Gen. Grant shows our great soldier in a
now light. It is bis first development of political
genius, nis first nnd final political mistake.
Tho reflex of the President lias completely over
