Two ol these precious ” lladical deconstruction lleliel ” measures, we have now l,otore us, and will place them in parallel lino* tor the benefit ol our readers and the public. It will bo seen that the one oc cupying the left side ol the parallel col umns is fathered by Mil. K. lltn.iiKur, Suporin- teiideut ol Hegistrnliou in tlcorgia, when noten- gaged in the discharge ot his duties as Superin tendent, or Agent, ot the Southern Express Company, an institution that owes so much ol its success to our Southern merchants, nud which, w e believe, has resumed its connection with the “Adams Express Company” ol the North. Whether the two positions are coinpuli hie, the one with the other; or whether the po litical doctrines enunciated by Mr. llulbert in liia circular meet with the approval of the Com puny he represents, is a matter ot some consc- ipieuce at least to our Southern merchants, and they will bo sure to take some note ol it. The other " Radical lit•construction Retnj measure occupying the right ol the parallel col umns, we clip from the Savannah Republican.— That paper says it has been posted extensively in Chatham county, and is very severe in its strictures upon it. Injustice, however, to Mr Markham, we will state that he has through the columns of the Era denied any knowledge “ ot the call,” or ol the ” names therein announced" aud regrets “that any one should attempt to anticipate political opinions for” him. We also see it stated that Ex-Governor James Johnson and C. H. Hopkins “ deny any complicity what ever in the movement.” Bo this as it may, all the parties referred to are members of the Radi- ml Republican Party of this State whose leaders expert to radicalize it in Hie coming election by the cry of ” lb lief or any other that will pro mote that end.

Few lives have been more | eventful llinn his. An orphan boy iu Yirgl ’ ni l, lie ran nwav at the age of twelve years, ami went to New Orleans, and from Hint I lime to his death, when considerably over toil\ years of age, lie lived a life of adven lure, success, reverses and vicissitudes. Willi I grand ideas, great projects, immense specula lions, lie held that success in great undertakings was scarcely more dillleiilt limn in those ol more I limited character, and in some respects results I justified his theory Beginning lily with many ! disadvantages, he attained a good English and a lair classical education, lie wrote a very good . work on poisons and their antidotes; lie ticca lie ! a Miecesfnl professor iu a respectable medical college; lie wrote a number of excellent medical works, of which another party got (lie credit; In- established, and for some time edited, n very able mechanics’ paper; lie wrote many credila Me articles in medical journals, daily papers mid literary magazines; lie edited for some lime n indy's'magazine; lie originated the foundation of a great institution of learning: he was oil terms of friendship and intimacy witli many distinguished politicians, professional charac ters and literary gentleman. He engaged, at nno time, in agriculture and vine growing, lie founded, and by years of labor, made the Knights of tlie Golden Circle to grow until it had branches in fourteen States, and comprised an aggregate membership of seventeen thousand individuals. Easily, lie married and ran through the tortuous ol three wealthy women. A man who could do alt this must have been a person ot more than ordinary activity, and it cannot lie said lliat liis lile was wholly a blank. Before tlie war he had many grand projects. \i one time he expected to realize a eollossal tortiuie hy the grunt of coal mines in the Dominican lie public; ill another unbounded wealth was to he obtained hy a monopoly of the Introduction of American agricultural implements into Russia, in tlie formation of the Knights of tlie Golden Circle, his inspiration probably came Irom Gen. (Jiiiiman and Mr. Yancey; hut Mr. Bieklev did not intend to lie the tool ol any political combi nation. lie actually planned, and his remarkable success lor a time seemed to jnstily his hopes to found a great military government in Mexico, ot width lie should tie Emperor. The care with which his plans were elaborated, the curious sys tem of laws, institutions, checks anil balances which lie had devised, showed that the hope ol grasping mi empire was tlie ruling idea of his lile. Fate stood in his way. We have seen let ters written to him liy both Miramnii aud Juarez, prollering co-operation, grants of land and other great advantages. They wished to have (lie lid] his Knights without incurring tlie odium ol publicly inviting them into the Mexican country. The I iilure of a negotiation to purchase steam- hips trom George Eaw.and the decided stand of mr government in forbidding armed emigration to Mexico, delayed Biekley's plans. Then the war broke out, mid the order ol the Knights of the Golden Circle being composed of Southern men who were unable to leave the country, lriltcd into the rebellion movement, and became tor a time one ot its most cftlcicut promoters.— Bickley was unscrupulous mid unprincipled. Nature and education hail conspired to encour age these traits in his character. It would not he much use tor miy man who was not unscrupulous and unprincipled to aspire to lie an Emperor. lie had warm Soul hern sympathies, but so logical a turn of mind that lie appreciated fully the blunders made by both great parties ol the country. This brief sketch does not exhaust—in fact, it scarcely oes more than suggest tlie cvculliil lile and cu rious character ot the subject ol our sketch, whose tecuudity of prospects has been rarely equalled. The suggestion of a new discovery in science, or some new application in art, at ■ nice inspired him with some grand scheme for controlling it.

Taking advantage of this, the parties combining would buy State indebtedness at low figures and hull it up so as io realize millions on the opera tion.

Republican, hitherto a constant champion of the principles of tlie Radi cal party, has an important and seasonable arti cle upon that threatening question ol “negro su premacy," which cannot be killed hy tlie scolls or jeers of Radical papers in either the North or tliu South. As far and as last us reason returns, the sentiments of the Republican wifi tiud re sponses in the North ; and, wheu common sense resumes its sway, the Radical party will meet the fate ot all veiral revolutionists. Tlie Republican says: Some ot the Northern papers attempt to allay tlie fears ol tho Southern whites on tire subject of negro supremacy liy telling them that it is im possible us u (lerumneut tiling; that the white imputation of those States is largely in tlie ma jority ; and after reconstruction power will grad ually return to their hands. So it must ut last, lint how long aud miserable tlie conflict will lie no one can tell. Tlie mistake of disfranchising (lie most intelligent portion of tlie white men of the South, while giving sullragc to tlie mass of ignorant negroes, becomes daily more apparent Tlie prospect is that things will lie much worse before they begin to uieud ; that tlie new State Governments will lie iu the iiauds of men who will distranchisc nearly all the whites, and inaugurate schemes ot taxation that will practically he nearly us bad us confiscation itself. Tlie white Republicans ot North Caroli na expected to control their recent Stale Con vention, and did elect its officers; but tlie negro majority voted down resolutions reported by tlie committee against confiscation nnd in favor of larger amnesty to the whites, and were poorly content with ii compromise agreeing to such confiscation and other measures of reconstruc tion as Congress shall decree. Tlie speech most applauded was made by a young mulatto named Galloway, who advocated a school tnx heavy enough to compel the sale ol the land hy tlie present owners. The most poptilur leader among tlie South Carolina negroes is now u ue- gro named Williams, a religious maniac, who declares himself to he tlie spiritual essence of Thad. Stevens and Fred. Doughiss, nud tells the colored men that they whipped tlie relis, Hint they are Hie most powerful nation on tlie globe, ami they must vote for no one who is not tor their own color; thill Lincoln promised them forty acres ot land, a hundred dollars and six mouths’ rations npiecc, ami they must have it, it they had to whip the blue-bellied Yankees to get it. Another nmbitious negro,named Charles Brown, writes to the New Orleaus Times : "We intend to show to this city, Slate, and tlie world that we nre capable ot governing, not only ourselves, hut white) men. Mv loruier master (and lie was a good man) told me that white men would govern, take care ot and pro tect tlie niggers, because God gave them tlie right and made it their duty so to do. We are willing to do the same by you. We shall have no use for Goldman or Waples, or any ol their class, after our next State election. Ii is not an easy matter to disfranchise us after we once have the elective franchise. Hancock will be pow erless lor evil ii wo only keep up our secret poli tical organization. We have commenced orga nizing our Fire Department, and one year will find the f 120,000 per year now paid in white firemen, transferred to worthy reconstructed citi zens of Atricau descent. Iu’a lew years it will lint be a question whether there will lie schools tor colored children, tint, it will lie whether white children will lie admitted to our institu tions of learning. The bottom rail is on top, anil Yankee, as well as ail tlie minority, must take a Illicit scat.” For sue Ii folly as this the while demagogues who misled tho negroes are most to lihm •. For the present, however, they have almost exclusive control ol the heed men, and Republicans who talk honestly to them arc met willi suspicion. The Savannah Ih.jiitblir.ui, as sound a Republi can paper tisthercis in the country, is threatened liy tho treedmeu because it is against confisca tion aud disfranchisement. Tlie facts of the sit uation in the South nre too plain nnd manliest to admit of any misunderstanding. Ami there seems to be no remedy now except to mitigate the anticipated evils ns much as possible by en deavoring to inspire tlie treedmeu with wiser counsels. The Radical organs now fear t lint they cannot carry their most extreme measures, and advise their leaders to moderate their tone anil temper. This advice comes too late! Thud.

White Men all Liars.—It is a melancholy fact, that since tlie laws nl the State have been amended so us to allow negroes tn appear us witnesses in all cases, white people have sud denly stopped telling the truth. Not one white licrson can lie found who regards Hie sanctity o| an oath, and who hesitates to tell a lie. That tills is the casa, it is only necessary to visit tho Mayor's Court, and listen to the witnesses who daily appear there. If the most respectable ami highly esteemed citizen ot Richmond appears as a witness, there will he half a dozen negro wit* nesses present to swear Hint lie is not telling tliu truth. Rome of these are prntcssionnl witnesses, and imo always on hand ready to he ealled lor in any case that may come up.

Daw CuntWi Great Show.—Wt bavs received • note from Dan Gaetello, Ibe great showman, announcing his intention to make an extended tour of tbe Southern State* during the fall of IMT-’W, visiting all the principal cities and towns, Including Atlanta. Me has made many additions and Improvements to Ids attain bailment, among which Is M'llc Pauline, from La Cirque, Paris. We copy the following ex tract from the Le Monitcur, Paris: " Paris has lost another of her attractions.— The brilliant Pauline, who has been turning the heads of La Jeuneise Doree, at the Cirque Im- Iteriale, during tho summer, by her bewitching ridiDg, left yesterday for Ilavre, from whence site is to sail for America, having been engaged hy the agent ol Dan Costello A CO., to join tin ir large traveling establishment, said to lie tlie largest in America. While we sympathize with her large train of admirers here, In the loss they sustain liy her withdrawal Irom their world, for a time, we congratulate tlie lovers of amusement in America upon so brilliant an acquisition as tlie charming Pauline will prove to their sources of pleasure. She is a charming woman, and a most brilliant artist, whose equal thpy have nev er yet seen." Mohr Mima rtTorriNu.—The great woollen and stockinet mills having come to a stop the cotton mills arc now following the example; and the silence of the machinery at Coboes is fol lowed by a similar ominous cessation in some of the mill* at Lowell. The Tremont and Bufiolk (Lowell) mills are about to stop running. Tbe Tremont is a cotton and woollen factory with a capital ot $000,000. Par of shares $1,000; low est price in 1806,880; last quotation 007*. Tbe original capital of this mill was $500,000. It was increased a hundred thousand in 1837 by a stock dividend. The Suffolk is a cotton mill solely. Par $1,000; present capital $000,000; lowest price of stock in 1805,855; last quota tion 005. The original capital ol Suffolk was $450,000. It U one of the necessary results ol the persistent hostility to the restoration of the Union, and the holding of Ihe South under mili tary rule, tliat business should lauguish, and prosperity decline. In the general distrust and anxiety caused by tlie revolutionary policy of Congress, there can lie no revival of business and prosperity.—Hartford Connecticut, Times, It is the rule with the Boston banks to pay no checks at the counter unless tbe person present ing the same is known to tbe teller. A check was presented at tbe counter of a Boston bank tbe other day, on the back of which was a de scription ot the “person presenting tbe same,” as follows, viz: "Sixty years old, gray hair, blue coat, gray pants and vest, specks, blue cotton umbrella.” Suffice it to say, tbe check was paid and no questions asked.
