Cowardly Assault.—Two young
Hopkins, sons of the Hopkins indicted
for perjury, and elected to Pope’s Con¬
vention, on Saturday last assaulted in
a brutal and cowardly manner, John
E Hayes, Esq., Editor of the Savan
nail Republican, inflicting wounds upon
him which may result in death.
H. 8. Fitch, Esq., U. S. District
Attorney, who occupies the editorial
chair oi the Republican, during the
iliuess of Mr. Hayes, thus alludes to the
affair:
Filial affection is a sentiment recog¬
nized as sacred by all gentlemen, but
when it assumes the form of assassina
n ,.ipn it becomes a cowardice of so
contemptible a character, that the bach¬
elor who reads may bless himself that
he has led a life of celibacy. It was a
brave deed—aud bravely was it done—
for two able and armed men to assault
an unarmed man, veiling their malig¬
nity uudm the smile of a friendly salu¬
tation.
Wo fully endorse the above in letter
and in spirit, aud must be permitted as
a Georgian to express our deep mor¬
tification that tho perpetrators of this
outrage also claim tube Georgians.

Reconstruction in Congress*.
While the House of Representatives
announces its determination by solemn
resolution tp take no step backward fn
the ^ilan of Reconstruction, which in
plain English, means that it is deter¬
mined, if possible, to put the foot of the
African barbarian upon the neck of the
white man, Mr. Wilson, the special
champion of the reconstruction meas¬
ures in the Senate, proposes to violate
the pledges made when the military
bills were passed.
It was promised the South, if she
would accept, nothing more would be
done. Mr. Wilson and his friends have
all along, boasted and contended, and
still boast aDd contend, that the South
accepts, and that Reconstruction is pro¬
gressing beautifully and satisfactorily.
Yet it is now proposed to alter that por¬
tion of the law, requiring a majority of
the registered voteTS to he polled, in
order to adopt the Constitutions which
may be submitted to popular approval.
Notwithstanding the fact that the ablest
and best of the white men are disfran¬
chised, and tlie further fact that the
Radical Party lias the aid of its organ¬
ized leagues, and the armed force of the
United States to compel the negroes to
vote for its measures, whether willing
or not, it is afraid to meet the new
issues made in the Constitutions with¬
out new guarantees and safe guards of
success. And for this purpose Mr.
Wilson has introduced his bill. He is
not likely to get along with it without
meeting some difficulties in the way.
Mr. Doolittle is close upon the libels of
the “Natick Cobbler,” with an amend¬
ment which must be met, debated and
voted upon, or the original bill must be
abandoned: Accepting Mr. Wilson’s
construction ibat Congress still lias con*,
trol of the Whole matter, Mr. Doolittle
argues and argues correctly, if Congress
can alter the military bills in one fea¬
ture, it irjuy do so in all. lie, therefore,
offsets Wilson’s proposition that a
smaller number shall bo required to vote
upon the question of ratification, by a,n
amendment suggesting who shall 'com¬
pose that smaller number. Liis amend¬
ment makes no distinction on account
of color, and is in substance as follows :
He would permit all to vote wiio are
entitled to the elective franchise under
the State laws as they stood in 1800,
and also these three classes : Pint, all
who have served one year in the Union
army ; second, ail who can read the
language and who understand the obli¬
gations of an oath ; and third, ad wjm
possess property to the value 01 <£tJ50.
This amendment approaches the
qualification lor voters embodied m the
Constitutions of several of th,e Nonhorn
States, ami also commends itself by
reason of its spirit of impartiality.
It is not probable in the present tem¬
per of the Rump that aDy such amend¬
ment can prevail, but it has been offer¬
ed and must be voted down. The party,
which at this juncture, assumes the re¬
sponsibility of rejecting terms which
give to the negro all that ho has hereto¬
fore obtained from his special friends,
will but give additional reason to ihe
great public of the North for repudia¬
ting when fitting opportunity shall
come, both its men and its measures.
Our B»uk Titble.
On our return some time since Horn a
trip into the country, we fouud a new
book on our table, kindly sent to us by
J. W. Pease & Matthews. The title of
the work is “Four Oaks,” and ema¬
nates Horn tlie pen of a lady of Mobile.
The btyle is chaste, pure, and vigorous,
and the construction excellent. In
most novels ol our day, not excepting
Dicken’s aud Bulwer’s, a good con¬
structionist finds little difficulty in pre¬
conceiving the issue in the earliest chap¬
ters of tho book. In Four Oaks, %ve
were agreeably surprised to find our
interest sustained until the end, finis,
was seen. Our authoress has avoided
the great quicksand of novelists, and
has formed her heroine out of the clay
of falability. “Harry,” is in our opin¬
ion, quite as full of faults as a young
lady can well be, but through all the
trivial failings, can be seen that purely
feminine clement., which makes women
womanly, and which is so essentially
soft. We could conceive it possible for
“Harry” to run a race, but our minds
would instinctively shield her from tlie
commission of any truly unwomanly
conduct.
Had it been our fortune to have been
in charge of such a nature, to chide
would have been difficult, to censure
would have becu wrong. Her very
failings were results oi a quick, liigh
struug, sensitive character, the Wound¬
ing of which might have proven disas¬
trous. Although in Four Oaks, not
one word of sectionBism appears, yet
one acquainted with Southern female
character, cannot but remark, the natu¬
ral delineation of Southern tempera¬
ment. There is but one literary female
in the book, and her prototype is to be
found in every community.
Four Oaks is a good picture, with
something in every page to interest, and
not like over colored painting, brilliant- 1
ly unnatural. The book, written by a ■
woman, evidently to typify some. 1
bcauliIul characlcr of her acquaintance,
has about “ lbat which interests by u*;
very simplicity, auu wkicll Uicikos one |
feel that he is in communion with char- j
acters of his day actuated by his mo-1
lives, and blessed or curseo (as the case ,
may be) with his hliocyncracies. :
We have been informed privately j
(and tor this reason communicate it in :
a private manner,) that Four Oaks owes j
ils origin to the tertilc pea ol Mrs. Bel- j
larny, (late Croom,) a young widow of ,
Mobile. To those who admire chaste aud |
in¬
teresting novel reading, we earnestly . ,
recommend the book.
