THE POLITICAL. CALM.
The temporary stillness of the political eie
niema consequent upon tbe adjournment of
Congress and of the Legislature of this State,
is so profound that not a zephyr of excitement
pi . seeds from a single point of tbe political
con pass. This, however, is but the calm that
precedes tbe inevitable storm. Even now its
distant muttering* may be heard in the pro
ceedings of most of the northern Legislatures
which assembled on the Ist instant, in tbe
consideration of the agitating measures
pending the holiday adjournment of Con
gress.
Ine impending and irreversible conflict
between the conservative and radical forces
in these bodies, we may safely assert, has al
ready taken place, and tbe unavoidable and
inevitable split has begun, it was, perhaps,
the design of the parties in Cougress to
throw upon these bodies more proximate to,
and in sympathy with tbe masses, the res
pousiblyjof initiating the split.
Prompted hy the wire pullers at W ashing
toD, the leaders of the opposing faction, will
induce the legislative bodies of which they
are members to take hold of the great ques
tions so pregnant with discord before Con
gress shall assemble. Upon the reassembling
of Congress the two parties, in conformity
with strategetic schemes concocted in secret
conclave during the recess, will renew the
conflict over the future political destiny of
the South. The cvlminatiou, or what is
known in battle ns the band to hand encoun
ter, must soon take place to decide the issue
made up between conservatism and radical
ism.
As has well been said by a cotemporary,
the temper of the public mind and the pus
ture of public affairs conspire to render a
further adjournment 'of this issue impossi
ble.
The Executive branch of the government,
unlike the Legislature, is not ut sea, appar
ently without chart or compass, upon the
vital questions of the hour, hut, with the
constitution as its guide, lias reached the
haven of a just and wise conservatism.
In verification of this we have but to cite
the official proclamation of the adoption ol
the Constitutional amendment by the requi
site uumber of Slates —no more, and among
them are included Beven of those lately in
rebellion. The Provisional Governors hav
ing been withdrawn nud the governments
handed over to the people, is a clear recog
nition of the fact in solemn form, Hint tbe
Southern States are in the Union and are a
portion of it, and are therefore entitled to
all the rights and privileges of States.
Upon what plea can they now be
deprived of the position which they are
thus recognized to hold, or be remandcu to
a territorial condition To make this rid'eu
lous hypothesis of Thad Stevens the ruling
policy of the Government, would be a re
traction of the declaration of the Chief Exe
cutive officer, that “Mr whole number of Stale a
in the United States is thirty-six"; branding il
as a lie, and the official act of lire President
as a farce.
The withdrawal of Provisional Governor, is
another form of recognition quite ns expres
sive as the other. For if they arc not States
they have no light to elect Governors. Terri
toriol Governors nre appointed by the Presi
dent oid confirmed by the Senate Thus in
tv, . v pucsiblc form the Federal Government
has declared them to be States, and yet tbe
tierce opponents iu Congress to justice and
equality, before the law, are almost moving
heaven and earth to render nugatory the de
liberate action of the President and the bind
ing euarautees of the Constitution.
The proclamation of Mr. Seward announc
iog the ratification of tbe constitutional
amendment prohibiting slavery by the ade
quate number of States, places the radicals iu
a most embarrassing dilemma, and front
which they vainly attempt to extricate them
selves by asserting that the Southern States
were not needed to perfect the work of
ameuding the Constitution The New York
Independent, which is the organ of Mr.
Sumner, says “the Constitution was amend
ed months ago. Three quarters of the loyal
States were all the votes needed to the con
summation of this illusUiouß measure. A 8
soon as these votes were given, the Secre
tary s proclamation should have appeared.”
Il cuarges that Mr. Seward’s ‘‘long delay”
has deirauded the radical party out of the
fruits of their victory.
The Freedmen in Interior Georgia.—
Tut- Macon Telegraph of the 29th inst 9ays:
“ We ale gratified to be able to state that
we have information from a number of
counties in this section of the State, that
large numbers of the treedmeu have come
forward and ptoffered to make contracts for
labor for the coming year. Many wlio had
left their homes altogether have returned to
the “old plantation" and asked to be taken
back on any terms that will secure them
protection and a living.
We commend the example to the colored
people generally. They will find their best
interest in a close adherence to home and
regular, faithful labor for their employers.’
General Grant has issued an order revok
ing the recent one in reference to civil em
ployes of the military service, and directing
army commanders to reduce the number of
civilians in military employment to the low
est possible point. At all places where the
requirements of the service will permit, de
tails from the ranks are to bk made to super
cede civil employes, excepting clerks, and
f.r all positions in which civilians must be
retained those who have served in the army
are to have the preference. Those who have
never been in the military service are to be
discharged as fast as they can be replaced
by those who have.
The Chain Gang —The Augusta Consti
tutionalist alluding to the chain gang which
has been inaugurated by the military and
municipal authorities in this city, for the
punishment of vagrants and vicious frecd
men, and who have been consigned to the
charge of Alderman Gue, Chairman of the
Streets and Lanes Committee, by whom they
are made to do good service, remarks :
‘This will not only have the effect of de
leting ot ben from crime—for they have a
singular prejudice against manual labor ot
this son—but will do much towards putting
•tteois lo good order. Anything to keep the
idle at work—for while at work they cannot
be carrying out their thelviog mischievous
plant.
MAP OP KOROP*.
The death of a royal peraooage ia Europe
iovariably leads to re part* iavolviog new
territorial snaagemtaU. The death of tbe
King of Belgium has set tbe inventive facul
ties of politicians at work. They have con
structed anew map of Europe, in which Bel
gium is partitioned between France and
Prussia—in other words, a general war is to
result from the death of the Belgic king, to
preserve the equilibrium of Europe. There i*
uot the smallest probability that France
would undertake a war of territorial ag
grandizement in Europe, menaced as the is
with war by the United States in Mexico.
Whatever may be the covert purposes of
Louis Napoleon, and the exteat of his ambi
tion, the times arc not propitious for the con
summation of such designs. A war on both
sides of the Atlantic at tbe same time is more
than his resources, great as they are, would
bear.
Independently of this consideration be baa
other ass airs on hand demanding all bis atteo
lion. The Kingdom of Italy ia as yet imper
fectly consolidated. Affairs at Rome are in
a very unsatisfactory state. France ia neces
sarily tbe ally of the King of Sardinia,as Aus
tria is ot the Pope. Thera is an unadjusted
quarrel between his Holiness and the Pied
montese monarch, in which the interests of
the church are directly involved, as well as
political interests
An attempt to partition Belgium would
bring England into the Held, and the old al
liance between her and Austria would he re
newed as a counterpoise to France. Tbe na
tural enmity between Austria and Prussia
would he aggravated by any scheme that
looked to the aggrandizement of Prussia.
Another inducement to leave tbe present
arrangements undisturbed is the magnitude
of the present militaiy.establishments of the
European powers.
There is an evident .desire to reduce their
expense, which a general war would largely
augment, to say nothing of the alisolute
necessity of the continuance of the entente
cordiale between England and France, to pre
serve the integrity of the Turkish Empire
from the gtasp ot Russia.

A Practical Idea. —The Agent of the
Frccdmau's Bureau in Macon is engaged in
taking the census of the negroes in that city
for file purpose of finding out all who ure uot
legitimately employed, aud 9endiug them to
some sections that are in need of labor.
This is decidedly a good movement, aud if
carried out to the letter in all cities, will
doubtless, relieve them of a great deal ol
mischief which is committed by vagrants
who have no honest way of making a living
IN UENEHIt.
—A heavy snow lias fallen on the plains.
Over twenty trains aro now snow bound at
different points, and large numbers of ani
mals arc dying from ccld and starvation.
—General Ewell lias left Warrenton, Vir

ville, Tennessee.
—The English army is to lie supplied with
lineu sbiits, ou account of the scarcity of
cotton. The Irish linen men are jubilant.
—Armed men are to be stationed along
the overland express route, to keep off the
IndiAus.
—Paris and 1 ..union whist players are

A serious disturbance took place in
Philadelphia on Christmas Day among the
blacks, about forty ol whom were arrested.
A number of the prisoners were rescued by
confederates, but the police at length over
powered their associates. .
—it is rumored that Mr. Stanton lias re
signed the Secretaryship of War, and that
Gen. Stccdman, Commanding Department of
Geoigia, would be appointed in his place.
—The MllledgeviUe papers announce that
Gov. Jenkins ha 9 appointed H. J. G. Wil

They had a considerable fall of snow on

There was some fighting between tie
whites and blacks in New Orleans on Christ
mas day, during which three policemen
were severely wounded. About forty negroes
were ariestea.
Armed bands of uegroes lately visited
the plaotation of Major Logan, near Shreve
port, Louisiana, aud made prisoners of all
the white people they could find in the
neighborhood, treating them In a most dis
graceful manner. The military sent a guard
of troops, who dispersed the negroes, taking
I rum them alnrut fifty stand of arms. The
pretext lor this outrage was the discovery of
a murdered negro near the plantation.

The Great Invention of the
IN
Hoop Skirts,
J. W. BnuHey’s New Patent Dnpex Ellip
tic (or Double) Spring Skirt.
THIS Invention consists of Duplex (or two; Ellpttc
Pare Refined Steel Springs, ingeniously braid* and
tightly and firmly together, edge to edge, making the
toughest, most flexible, elastic and durable Spring
ever used. They seldom bend or break, like the sin
gle Springe, and consequently "preserve their perfect
and beautiful shape more than twice as long us any
Siugle Spring Skirt that ever has or can he made.
The wonderful flexibility and great comfort and
pleasure to any lady wearing (ho Duplex Elliptic Skirt
will be experienced particularly tn all crowded Assem
blies, Operas, Carriages. Railroad Cars, Church Tews,
Arm Chairs, for Promenade and Ilouse Drees, as the
Skirt can be folded when in use to occupy a small
{dace as easily and conveniently as a Silk or Muslin
Iress.
A lady having enloved the pleasure, comfort and
great convenience of wearing the Duplex Elliptic
Btee! Spring Skirt for a single day will never after
wards willingly dispense with their use. For children,
misses and young ladles they are superior to all oth
ers.
The Hoops are covered with 2 ply doable twisted
thread and will wear twice as long as the single yarn
covering which Is used on all Single Steel Hoop-Skirts
The three bottom rods on every Skirt are also Double
Steel, and twice or double covered to prevent the cov
ering from wearing off the rod* when dragging down
stairs, stone steps, Ac., which they are constantly
subject to when in uae.
All are made of the new and elegant Co.Hod Tapes,
and an the best quality In every part, giving to tbe
wearer the most graceful and perfect shape possible
and arc unquestionably the lightest, most desirable,
comfortable and economical Skirt ever made.

Discountenancing all unmanly exultation over or
needless infliction of pain or privation on the uphold
ers of the lost cause. It will insist on the earliest pos
sible restoration us the Southern Slates te their for
mer power influence in our Union on the basts of All
Rights for All their People.
It will labor tn hope to prove that the gulistluiUon
of Free for Stave Labor must inevitably and univer
sally conduce to the increase of Industry, Thrift,
Prosperity sad Wealth, so that the South, withiu the
next ten years, must look back amazed on tier long
persistence in a practice so baleful as the chatteliz
lng of Man.
It will labor for the intrusion of Common School
Education, Manufactures, Uie Useful Arts, Ac., Ac.,
througtrout every portion <H our country, tout espe
cially throughout the sections hitherto devoid of

discriminating duties on Foreign Products imported,
with a view to drawing hither the most capable and
skillful artificers ami artisans ot Europe, and the
naturalizing on our soil of many branches of produc
tion hitherto alt put confined to the Old World, while
It would strengthen sn*l extend those which have
already a lout bold among uh.

proven*ut in Agriculture, doing Its beat at once to
bring markets to the doors of our farmers and teattli
them how to make the most of the opportunities thus
afforded them.

cially for Agricultural Products, with Intent to save

by the speculator aud forestaller.
Aud, giving lair scope to Current Literature, to the
proceedings of Congress, and to the general News of
