The painful apprehensions excited by
the recent action of the radic.il majority in
Congress will be relieved to some extent by
the gratifying intelligence from Washington,
which will be found under our telegraphic
head this morning.
We expressed the hope a few days since
that when the action ot our Slate Legisla
ture, with the truly patriotic, dignified and
st ales man-like inaugural address ol Governor
Jeukiua reached the President, his confi
dence in the loyalty and good faith of our
people would be confirmed and re-assured,
and that a more confiding and trustful poli
cy would be pursued towards us. In thia
hope, so far as the President and Secretary
Seward are concerned, we have not been dis
appointed. Not only has the Provisional
Governor been relieved, but the Governor of
the people has received assurrances of the
co-operation and support of the General
Government whenever it may become neces
sary for the protection and advance
ment of the Civil Government of the
State. It is gratifying, too, to learn
that General Grant bears frank testi
mony to the good faith of the people of the
South, and that he regards the presence of a
military force in our midst as unnecessary to
insure peace and order. Testimony such as
his, based on his own personal observation,
' will, not only in the estimation of the Presi
dent, but in the minds ol all lair judging men
at the North, weigh down the volumes of mis
representation which has been so industri
ously circulated in the columns of many lead
ing northern journals to our prejudice.
Gen. Grant's just opinion of the people of the
South lias not been won by flattery and by
pocricy. Whilst ou bis recent visit in our
section, he saw no evidences of self abase
ment or mean servility, which would neither
have inspired his respect nor justified his
confidence; but as a true observer and appre
ciatin' of character, he saw enough of us to
convince him that a people so consistent and
true to themselves, might be relied on as
being trim to their pledges. He has no
doubt realized the truth of the sentiment so
well expressed by Gov. Jenkins “that valci
and truth are twine sisters, born of magnani*
mity, whose womb never did nor ever will
conceive treachery.” May we not hope as
passion subsides and prejudice yields to
reason, his patriotic convictions may be
shared by those in whose hands rest the des
tiny of our once happy now. distracted coun
try.
RADICALISM TRIUMPHANT.
M e learn from a Washington dispatch in
the New York World that the Republicans
in the House of Representatives, passed, on
the 14th instant, under the operation of the
previous question, the dismembered part of
the Stevens joint, resolution for a committee
of fifteen, which had been rejected by the
Senate and likewise stricken out by the
House. It is btuted that they first watted
for the committee to be appointed, and then
presented a resolution requiring that all pa-
pers which may be offered relative to the
representation of the Southern States shall
be referred to the joint committee without
debate, and that uo member shall be admit
ted from either of said States unless Con
gress shall declare such States, or either of
them, entitled to representation. Several
Republican members, animated by a con
servative spirit, essayed to check this extra
ordinary movement, but debate was not per
mitted,and they were unceremoniously thrust
aside by a vote of one hundred and seven for
to fifty-six against the proposition. The ob
ject ol the radicals, though thwarted for a
few days by the independent action of the
Senate, was thus full? accomplished. Among
the Republicans who voted against it was
Mr. Raymond, the distinguished editor oi the
New York Times.
This violent and unparliamentary manifes
tation of the drift of legislative action at
Washington makes it nearly certain to our
mind that the Southern members will not be
admitted to their seats during the existence
of the present Congress.
The exclusion of our members from the
organization disclosed the malignant pur
pose of the dominant faction to force them
to sue lor admission in a body which
is organized, and vested with Consti
tutional power to judge of the elections, re
turns and qualifications of its members, not
withstanding it is a clear case in logic, and
from the history of the Constitution, 'hat the
power to judge of election, returns and quali
fications, does not include ttie power to pro
nouuce on the political right of a State to be
represented. But that will not prevent the
assumption of the power, as something made
necessary by events beyond tbe Constitution,
nor, we fear, prpvent its effect in keeping
the Southern Slates from sitting in the House
of Representatives, until Congress shall
nave made its laws and signified the new
terms on which it will consent to receive the
Southern representatives.
This, with other impending violations of
the Constitution, shows clearly that the im
patient inclination of the extreme wing of
the Republicans towards centralization be
come more apparent from day to day, and
precedents are thus being established that are
giving a dangerous excess of authority to
the national Congress, and are accomplish
ing a hasty rovohitiou in our political iyg .
tern.
As predicted by a Southern contemporary,
the will of a majority, in contempt 0 f the
Constitution, will have the effect of |» w i u
accomplishing the exclusion in fart, w , tll

by the incident to which we have adverted

Os the numerous weighty questions that
hare I >een presented for trie consideration of
the Legislature of Virginia, now in session,
the most difficult of solution, is that grow ing
out of the deranged condition of the finance-.
Although the Stott 4rUt, apart trow the war
debt which has or will be repudiated, has
not been materially increased since the com-
mencement of the war, the wealth and ahti-
Uy of the State has been fearfully diminished.
Its assets have netrly all been swept by the
wsr, and the railroads in which the State is
largely interested are in danger, says the
Richmond Times, of being rendered utterly :
worthless, unless the gripe of the Board ol j
Public Works upon their throats are released |
l»y the speedy action of the Legislature.
In this perplexing dilemma, when the law
makers of Virginia are disposed to try every
experiment which promises the slightest hope
of revenue, the oyster fundurn question has
been sprung for the hundreth time, as a
prop to the credit of the State. It is stated
that the ordinary subjects for taxation are a!
ready crushed by city, Slate, and Federal
taxes piled upon them like Pilion upon Ossa :
which renders it absolutely necessary, says
Governor Pierpont, in his Message, that the
most placid and delicious of shell fish
shall bear a fair proportion of the onerous
burden of taxation. The recommendation is
rendered more attractive by the fact that it
will be paid mainly by those who are per
petually harrowing the oyster rocks on the
Virginia coasts for the benefit of those Nor
thern who greatly abound in
green-backs, and claim to have thriven upon
taxation and war.
It will be recollected that the proposition
to impose fin export or fnndum tax npon
this delicious bivalve was made by Gover
nor Wi3e in the year 18.18, and like many
other conceptions of his vigorous and eccen
tric mind, excited much humorous comment
by the press throughout the country; and
but tor the terrible “dredgiug” to which the
champions of cheap and nntaxed oysters
subjected the leader of the oyster fuudum
party in Virginia, it was believed the recom
mendations of his Excellency would have re
sulted in judicious legislation, which, but for
the war, might have resulted in good fruits.
The Times favors the proposition, and says
that the Legislature should give to the for
mer earnest convictions of Governor Wise
and of the present Governor favorable con
sideration. It thinks that the time for bold
and desperate experiments has at last ar
rived.

To the Hditors of the Saeamah Herald .-
Sir— Applications being occasionally made
to me for information touching the papers
that come to me as Sequestration Receiver,
I ask to state for the benefit of your readers,
that I delivered in June last to the Provost
Marshal, of Gen. Wilson, then commanding
at Macon, an order on a friend for the de
livery of my office papers, and I was after
wards advised of their deliveiy. Indeed 1
saw iq July boxes in the office of >Provost
Marshal Gen. Grosvenor, in Augusta, contain
ing the papers which had been delivered up
in my name. It is therefore not in my power
to supply the information occasionally sought
of me. W. C. Daniell.

Tlic «p|H>iuli!>eiit of Genual L gan «* the
redoubtable Minister rrnijmt to the A*kwulmv
government ot General Juarez, was umiounr
efl Lear,} a mouth since; hut, if lie a spa pci
statements are entilled to credd,its acceptance
lias tieen deterred from time to time, owing
to the strong indisposition of the General to
ap|iear withiu the “ usurped dominion of
the ignored Mexican Emperor, unucenm
panted by a sufficient military force to extort
a respectful recognition of his diplomatic
character.
It is now stated that the appointment has
been formally accepted, and that, in antici
pation of an early departure on liis delicate
and somewhat doubtful mission, a confiden
tial interview has actually transpired between
the new dipiomatc and our Secretary of
State.
| rsuite-
It would seem also that some of the in
structions witli which lie was charged by
Mr. Seward have been revealed to the public.
The New York Times of the lith instant,
contains a Washington despatch to the effect
that General Logan, immediately Jipoa com
municating with the Republican Govern
ment of Mexico, will propose a commercial
treaty betweeu the United States and the
-Republic"ot Mexico, which shall secure to
American citizens important rights and
privileges upon the great lines of transit,
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific
Coast, and such an extension of the tree list
as will greatly extend the Mexican market
for American manufactures; and in exchange
for these privileges, which may be secured
by military interposition, if necessary, the
United States to loan twenty millions of
dollars, or guarantee Mexican bonds to that
amount in behalf of the Mexican Republic.
If General Logan, whose individual senti
ments and feelings are known to be excessively
inimical to the Government oi Maximilian,
is, iudeed, thus authorized to commit our
Government to the belligerent policy indi
cated in this despatch, which we very much
doubt, war between the two countries, with
France as the ally of the Emperor, will ite
inevitable.
Tlte system of misrepresentation so studi
ously concocted by many of the Northern
press, to mislead the public mind in regard
to afl'aikß in Mexico, has had the effect*
doubtless, to intensify the war fever
which seems to ite generally prevalent in
that section of tlte Union. A pretext for
hostilities is what they seem to desire, and
they are rash enough to plunge the country
into war upon the manufactured impres
sion that Mexico, owing to internecine dis
turbances, is powerless aud therefore not
to be dreaded.
In order that onr readers may not be mis
led us to tire real condition of affairs in
Mexico, we subjoin the following exttact
from a letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
written in the city of Mexico, and dated Nov.
I'd.:
“The empire is consolidating itself and fas-'
toning itself ou the affections of the people
daily. Tlte late ministerial change is for the
better. Wherever the empire has made it
self known by its military and civil officers,
there it is welcomed, and there it sticks—
You are told of this or that State, which
has not yet submitted. That is true in ref
erence to several, but no effort has yet been
made to reach them. There are not thirty
thousand foreigu troops in the whole realm,
and they can t be scattered everywhese. But
more territory to-day acknowledges Maxi
milian, more States and seaports pay tribute
lo his treasury, than ever acknowledged a
President or Dictator before ! He is devel
oping the country and encouraging the arts
of peace and husbandry more than has been
done in ali the past history of Mexico. And
yet some of our people, mostly, I suppose,
turbulent New Englatjdcrs, and men whose
occupation is goue with the melting away of
the late aimies, talk of ‘driving Maximilian
out.”
Tlic Savannati ami Florida Steamer*.
The Florida papers, as well as the travel
ing public, are complaining, and we think
justly, of the present high charges for pas
sage and freight betweeu this city and Jack
sonville, Fla. In view of this fact, we com
mend to tlie attention of the agents of the
boats, plying between this city aud the Flori
da ports, the following article takeu from the
Tallahassee (Fla.) Sentinel, which is preg
nant with suggestion that some action ou
their part is ready necessary to silence well
founded complaint slid present injury to
themselves and the commercial interests o*
Savannah.
We have been informed that the cost of
transportation and freight between Charles
ton and Jacksonville, is thirty per cent,
cheaper than it is between this city and the
latter place. Whether this is true or not,
the present high rates are suicidal to both
private and public interests:
“We are glad to see that the Jacksonville
papers, are waking up to the interests of
that place, and ‘pitching into’ the Steam
boat and Railroad Lines, in good earnest—
especially the steamers between Savannah
and Jacksonville, which charge fifteen dol
lars tor carrying passengers but little more
than 150 miles. Up to the Spring of 18TJ,
the fare was but six dollars, and high enough
at that. Fare from this place to Savannah,
by way ol Jacksonville, is now twenty-seven
dollars and a half, not including hotel bills
in Jacksonville where passengers may he
detained a day or two. When the Gull Rail
road is agaru in operation, as it will be in a
few days, travelers can go from here to
Savannah by rail in .twenty-four hours, for
fifteeu or eighteen dollars. As four-fifths of
the people of Florida reside west of Lake
City or the Suwannee river, it is altogether
probable that under existing arrangements,
they will prefer to turn off at Monticello or
Madison, and save time and money by keep
mg the Hitilioad to Savannah. So, if Jack
sonville desires to bold on'to the travel she
lias monopolized during the past six mouths,
her citizens ought to be exerting themselves
speedily, to straighleu things out. A word
to the wise, Ac.
The remarks ol the Sentinel arc not more
significant of the state of public feeling in
Florida in regard to this matter than thoae
continued in the subjoined extract Horn tbe
Jacksonville Times, of recent date :

Dear Sir,—l have been affiicted many yours with
severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and

to rind the coldness and cramps hid entirely left me,
