Madness at Washington.
From the New York Son of the IGth.j
The worst faction and the most violent
coansels control the President and gov
ern the policy of Congress, at a time
when moderation is a necessity, and the
calmest wisdom can hardly suffice for
what has to be done. Carpet-baggers,
scalawags, and other common plunderers
who during the last six years have bank
runted all the reconstructed States, and
brought disgrace and defeat on the lie
publican party, are now in the ascendant
at Washington, and more powerful than
ever before.
Discarded and despised by the people
of the Soath, they have combined togeth
er for a last desperate effort, and seek by
atrocious legislation and the nse of the
army to recover by force the power of
which they have been shorn at tho ballot
box. This faction stands to day precise
ly where the extreme Secessionists of
18G0 stood, and is fitly led by Maynard
White, Hays, E. E. Butler, "Whiteley, and
others like them, who at that time were
loudest in denouncing the Union, and in
dictating the terms upon which slavery
would tolerate its existence.
These conspirators are backed, by a
class at the North of like character, of
which Benjamin P. Butler, Lyman Tre-
main, Cessna, Cobum, Albright, Ward
and Shanks are types, who have been re
pudiated by their constituents, have no
political future, and desire to bask in tho
sunshine of power during the remaining
period of Graptism-
The two factions combined do not act
ually number one half of the Eepublican
strength in Congress, and yet, with the
support of the President, who has been
captured with the proiniso’of a third term,
and with the vast influence wielded by
patronage, they have been able thus far
to lay down the law for the caucus, to
seize the organization, and by mere auda
city to shape the course of legislation.
Half a dozen men called the numerous
caucuses which have recently gathered
at the Capitol, and there was actually less
than one-third of the Eepublican vote in
the House present last Friday night,
when it was decided to press tho most
infamous bill which wicked ingenuity has
yet concocted for disturbing the peace of
the South and for reviving sectional agi
tation.
It requires no prophet to forecast the
consequences of this partisan crusade,
Yvhich has been started with tho single
object of holding possession of the gov
ernment by the bayonet, and against the
will of the people. At the very time
when forty millions more of harsh taxes
are demanded to support the prodigality
and corruption that are seen of all eyes,
the reckless leaders who propose to turn
this screw havo set on foot a programme
that must derange the business of the
country for the next eighteen months,
and create the profoundest alarm at home
and abroad.
Just as the people were beginning to
clear away the rubbish of the financial
crash, and by industry and economy to
look forward with hope to recovery, this
firebrand is thrown into the magazine to
excite a new panic, and to turn aside the
thoughts and efforts that are indispensa
ble to any improvement of tho material
interests. Credit is necessarily shocked
by this impending derangement, and as a
logical result the revenues must be se
riously affected. "When tho condition of
the country is doubtful and great dan
gers seem impending, the operations of
commerce are inevitably chocked, and that
check ramifies through the entire system
of connected interests.
By the light of these events, the whole
conduct of the President and of Congress
appears preconcerted and symmetrical in
a wicked design to hold on to tho Gov
eminent without regard to consequences.
All the shams and pretences set up to ex
cuse the usurpation in Louisiana are ex
ploded by the later crimes looking to the
same object for which that iniquity was
contrived at Washington. Hardly had
the first dash of excitement over Sheris
dan’s brutal bulletins subsided, before
he ordered a force to seize the Sheriff s
office at Vicksburg, to oust the elected
incumbent, and to restore the negro who
had resigned because he could give no
bond and was stealing the people’s mon
ey.
Then followed the Arkansas message,
in which the President repudiates his own
official acts, denies his oyvu solemn state
ments, ignores a committee of Congress,
and openly allies himself with the thieves
who seek restoration only to renew their
pillage. Arkansas is as peaceful, orderly
and law abiding as Massachusetts, and
has been so since the people in their
strength rose up and threw off tho bon
dage of the carpet-baggers.
Next in order is the caucus, with an
odious bill to create a constructive rebel
lion, and to revive pains and penalties
only applicable to a statejof war, to be
administered by “deputy marshals” who
have served as professional spies and in
formers, and to whom perjury is a means
of plundering the Treasury. It now only
remains to be seen if Congress can be
dragooned, in the few days that remain
for serious legislation, to adopt this ini
quity, and to stop the wheels of business
all over the land.
All these startling events have succeed
ed each other since the 4th of January.
The strides of despotism have been ap
palling in that short space of time, and
they warn us boldly of what is still in
store for the countiy, if such outrages are
borne in submission. Tho issue cannot
be evaded, for it confronts us at every
turn. It is not confined to Arkansas,
Louisiana or the South. If they can be
manacled and subjected to discipline
without stirring the heart of the people
and rousing tho resentment of every man
who loves liberty, then the turn of New
York and Ohio will come, and come
speedily.

[Correspondence Daily Advertiser.]
Kimbatj. House, )
Atlanta, Ga., February 17,1875. j
“To die for one’s country may be
sweet,” but to legislate for it is a much
less pleasant undertaking, if one may
judge from the grim, dejected appearance
of the members of the House of Eepre-
sentatives, who are rushing through their
business at lighting speed, on no end
of five minute speeches. Everybody
seems intolerably tired, and I believe, if
it were a question of inclination -merely,
the Legislature would adjourn tomorrow,
though it is generally understood that
the session will be necessarily prolonged
till about Friday, 26th. Many of the
most important measures are yet to be
acted on, and the amount of work requi
site is absolutely appalling—though as a
great deal of that is done in the commit
tee rooms the public can have small idea
of its perplexity or progress. Take, for
instance, tho single case of the Macon
and Brunswick road, on which I informed,
a special committee have been at work
since the very beginning of the session,
taking testimony, examining accounts,
sifting and investigating generally and
thoroughly such a mass of evidence as it
may yet take several days with the aid of
four stenorgraphic clerks to get into
shape—so intricate have they found its
complications! The Bond question seems
to have a peculiar fascination for the Sen
ate, since they always fall back on it when
nothing else presents itself, though I be
lieve the House has not yet concerned it
self in that direction. One committee is
still engaged in the apparently intermina
ble task of counting the public money,
and it must be a pretty large one, for let
a member be absent from his seat, and
ask where he is, ten chances to one, the
answer will be, “In the treasury, count
ing the money!” It is like the old nur
sery rhyme, “The king in tho parlor,
counting out his money"—only the
“queen” with her “bread and honey” no
where appears. One might suppose there
was a vast deal of it, but still they shake
their heads ominously, when you ask
them, over what they don't find there.
The fact is there’s something wrong
somewhere: we prick our ears every time
a “report” comes in and draw a breath of
relief as each department is passed and
complimented on its excellent manage
ment, Tho Comptroller General’s was
order to-day. He’s all right—the
trouble, whatever it may be, don’t lie in
his office; and they said such nice things
about him that he couldn’t help giving
the committee a dinner this evening.
The special order for the day in the
House was the bill regulating the sale of
spiritous liquors, otherwise called, I be
lieve, the “local option bill,” over which,
as there is a strong infusion of Good
Templars in the Assembly, it was thought
there would be a spirited contest; but the
strength of the temperance people has
been overestimated, and the bill was
hopelessly lost. The fact is Atlanta, dur
ing the last month or two, has been a
poor place in which to make temperance
converts, for there certainly never was a
set of conditions under which a man
would be more justifiable in “sipping
the rosy.”
The “Homestead bill”—reducing the
value of homestead from $3,000 to $700
of realty and $300 of personalty”—came
next, and brought out a number of good
speakers. There were motions to amend,
table and postpone, but it was very unex
pectedly carried by even more than the
twothirds majority, which, being a con
stitutional amendment, it required. Mr.
Walsh, of Eichmond, favored indefinite
postponement, not that he was opposed
to the reduction of the homestead, but
thought it a matter that could be settled
satisfactorily only by a constitutional
convention, and therefore best left for its
action. The convention is Mr. Walsh’s
hobby, and he proposes it as a sort of
panaoea for every political ill. Mr War
ren, of Chatham, thought Mr. Walsh's
speech a very good argument in favor of
the convention, bnt didn t see that it had
much to do with the homestead—and
followed in a very sharp little speech in
favor of the reduction. Whenever Mr.
Warren isn’t quite sure of his logic and
his wit, he always re-inforces himself with
a few statistics, which generally win his
battles for him. He had discovered on
this occasion that there wasn’t property
enough in the State of Geogia to allow
$3,000 to every head of a family—the
average being only a little over $1,300,
and from that fact drew his conclusions.
Mr. Bacon of Bibb, was in favor of post
ponement—it was not in his judgment
expedient to act upon this question since
even its passage now would be bat the
first step, in a long process which would
require the endorsement of the succeed
ing Legislature, to be elected two years
from now, and then the approval of the
people before it could go into effect
(what a tedious business legislation is!),
and he objected to throwing a fire-brand
among our people by presenting any
distracting issue at a time when, in view
of the approaching great poetical con
test of 1876, it was of the last importance
they should be united. Col. Harrison, of
Quitman, was entirely and vehemently in
favor of the present homestead law, and
fiercely opposed to any reduction. Trench
on the ‘ rights of women and children”
in Col. Harrison’s hearing, and you’ll
soon see that magnificent red beard of
his shaking in quite a leonine fashion,
and the roar that follows is quite unmis
takable. I tell you the way he “went
for” his opponents to-day was—well, ex
hilarating! Capt. Hammond, of Thomas,
had the conclusion, and acquitted him
self hadsomely in a ten minutes’ speech—
one of the best of the session—in favor of
the reduction. The present homestead
bill, he said, was “bom in iniquity and
nourished in fraud.” The convention he
characterized as a “Trojan horse” (a good
hit!), in answer to Messrs. Walsh and
Bacon—proceeded to dispose of Col.
Harrison’s arguments, and altogether
made the completest, most forcible and
effective speech possible. Capt Ham
mond’s voice is exceedingly good, his
manner and bearing unexceptionable, his
style simple, strong, and unaffected. He
speaks but rarely, and always to the
point; is one of the most intelligent and
faithful workers of the House, in which
no, young man has produced a finer
effect. He is also chairman of the
Committee on Banks, in which position
he has given the most entire satisfaction,
while Ins capacity and industry are both
very highly spoken ot Capt Hammond
does not seek notoriety, and therefore all
the commendation that falla to his relias
is one may rest assured, a matter of pure
desert.
I wish I had time and space to tell yon
of Colonel Hardeman’s splendid speech,
in the afternoon in behalf of the educa
tional bill, for the perfecting of the pub
lie school system. It is, by far, the most
brilliant and able of all the speeches I
have heard this session—and he looked
every inch a Governor when he made it!
Bnt notwithstanding all his eloquence,
the bill was lost—the very people who
need the benefit of its provisions most
voting against it. If there is one thing
tM- is “fore*ordained” in this legislature
it is that any measure which calls for
an appropriation of one dollar from the
treasury will be lost There is no hesi
tation in taking a thousand dollar's worth
eftimetorofiue the approptifttieJi* hot
the refusal is a foregone conclusion. I
wonder if there are no accessible text
books which teach the application of the
principles of political economy?
Mr. Warren carried through this after
noon his resolution authorizing the Gov
ernor to negotiate with Mr- Stem for the
circulation in Germany of a number of
copies of his paper containing facts re
lative to Georgia, for the purpose of en
couraging German immigration. The
general sentiment is highly favorable to
Hie move, and one gentleman from the
northern part of the State was much con
cerned lest Savannah meant to monopo
lize the immigrants. Mr. Warren creat
ed considerable enthusiasm on the sub
ject, and has such a general appearance
of having been brought up on lager bier,
saner kraut, Scheldam schnapps, and the
like, that the House seemed to think it
was doing him a personal favor, as well

The Plain Porpeit and the Impend
ing Issue.
There is a paper published in Wash
ington City called the National Repub
lican. It has no other reason for exist
ence except to defend with unscrupulous
fidelity the acts and designs, whatever
they be, of the President. It has no
other significance except what appertains
to it as a mirror of his thoughts and de
sires. Its political utterances have there
fore a distinct, though purely derivative,
importance. At this moment they may
well be pondered as revealing the pro
found and remorseless purpose of the
master that inspires them.
The National Republican, in a tone of
imperious instruction, declares that the
caucus coercion bill, arming Grant with
absolute power after the adjournment of
Congress, must be passed by the House
and confirmed by the Senate Then it
proceeds to indicate the impending ne
cessity for the exercise of such a power
and the continued incumbency of such a
President It couples warning with pre
diction. “If the present Congress,” says
the Rej/ublican, “leaves to its successor
the privilege of making or refusing to
make appropriations for the executive
departments, it is certain that disquiet,
intimidation and assassination will be
continued in the Soutlk and the overs
throw of Bepublicanism—one step re
mote from the dissolution of the Union—
will be assured. No man who duly ap
preeiates the gravity of the situation will
deny this. Those who know the South
em Democracy best know that their
hearts are still devoted to secession and
the establishment of the Southern Con
federacy. With 6uch a States’ Eights
man as Thurman in the Presidential
chair, or any other of his kidney, could
it be expected that co-ercion would be
resorted to for the purpose of prevent
ing “peaceable separation?, And, if
‘peaceable separation ’ should be attempt
ed, would the North again resort to arms
for the purpose of coercing the South
ern States? Would that resort, if at
tempted, be successful with States’
Eights leader as commander-in-chief of
the army and navy? These are not idle
speculations. They are the stem and
threatened realities of the future, reali
ties which confront the Eepublican ma
jority in Congress as admonitions that
the safety of the Bepublic depends upon
their action during the few remaining
days of the present session.”
Mark these words! It is assumed by
the paper from which we have quoted,
or, rather, it is assumed by the President,
for whom it speaks, that li the next Con
gress is allowed the; freedom which the
constitution guarantees with regard to
appropriations to the executive depart
ments, the opposition will obtain practic
al control of the government. It is as
sumed that this would be but one remove
from the dissolution of the Union. It is
assumed that the Southern Democracy
are bent on secession and the establish
ment of the Southern Confederacy. It is
assumed that no President but Grant, or
one after his pattern, would resort to
coercion to prevent “peaceable secession,”
that the Northern people would not be
likely to resort spontaneously to arms or
such a purpose, and that, should they de
so, tne attempt would be a .failure un
der a Democratic or Conservative Presi*-
dent.
These assumptions may be logically re
duced to the single proposition, that on
ly by systematic infraction of the Consti
tution, systematic usurpation and vio
lence, can a rebellion which proposes a
strict obedience to law be quelled, and
the Union be rescued from the abyss of
a “peaceable separation.” And this pro
position is held to justify a correspond
ing purpose to hold the country under
the present rule at all hazards, by coerc
ing States or coercing Congress to any
extent which circumstances may suggest,
and, if need be, by raising armies, mak-«
ing war and organizing compaigns,
whether the people of the North are in
humor of that kind of business or
not.
It is, no doubt, very becoming in the
New York Timex, Harper's Weekly and
other Eepublican journals claiming to
have some soul of their own, to dieavow
sympathy with such designs, to protest
that Grant, in his conspicuous disregard
for constitutional liberty, does not repre
sent Eepublican principles, to call him
King Log and King Stork rolled into
one, and to say the Republican party
must throw him of^ cut loose from his
fortunes, and generally follow the coun
sel of Vice President Wilson, whose tar
dy and spasmodic access of virtuous
alarm consists in wringing his hands at
the boldness, pluck and tenacity with
which Grant prooeeds in resolving the
party into a personal adhesion find the
government into a personal rule. But
these things are not to be exploded,
Grant is not to be abashed or fatally dis
comfited, by mouth homage to decency
and consistency, and by pantomimic grief
at the spectacle of his audacious and
unrelenting ambition. It remains for
the people of the North to vindicate con
stitutional liberty. They can do so, and
make sure of a permanent and peaceful
Union at the same time, if they wilL We
wish we could be more confident that
they are prepared to rally to this cause
with the might of a thoroughly aroused
and invincibly resolved people.
As for the Conservative people of tho
South, they oan only be spectators. They
would be glad to come to the rescue.
But any active demonstration on. their
part, however slight, would be miscon
strued in favor of usurpation, and would
indeed, be a signal ot which hundreds of
thousands in the North would be ready
to arms under despotism for a
crusade upon the South. And, really,
the issue, as far as the South is concern
ed, is hardly an open one. The South is
down. If she has not touched the bots
tom of political calamity, then there is
none. The North has yet to be sub
jugated, and will be. if the people of that
section decline to uphold the eauseof
free government for the whole country.

The Okefenokee Explorations
[Valdosta Times.]
We are in receipt of a number of corns
munications from gentlemen at a dis
tance, in reference to the proposed ex
ploring expedition to the Okefenokee
swamp, early in April. The invitation is
extended to all who desire to go. The
party should consist of practical and
scientific persons, composed of civil en
gineers, mechanics, farmers, artists, law
yers and doctors, and such other persons
as propose to turn the investigations to
good account to themselves, or the coun
try. The first of April has been selected
on account of the mildness of weather at
that season. Mosquitos will not have
made their appearance at that time, and
but few snakes are found in this swamp.
Way cross will be the place for the meet
ing of representatives from the different
towns and sections.
From this point the party can go to
Mr- Obadiah Barber’s, from here to hick
ory hammock, thence to Billy’s Island, at
which point the expedition will enter the
swamp proper. When Floyd’s Island
shall have been reachod, which is some
fifteen miles distant from Billy’s Island,
the party may be divided as may be di
rected by the engineer, and go in differ
ent directions through the unexplored
sections of the swamp.
The Superior Court will be in session
at Way cross on the fourth Monday in
March, which will be a suitable time for
all the arrangements to be made and a
committee appointed, who will issue a cir
cular, and send to all the friends of the
enterprise.

out before them. The same education
that would, in a sort, suffice for the past
generation will be entirely inadequate for
the next. Science, inventions, and dis
coveries have made wonderful advancing
strides in the last twenty-five years, and
your children, in order to have the same
relative standing in the world that you
had, when you set up for yourselves,
must have vastly more knowledge than
you bad, in order to compete successfully
with their cotemporaries. In your early
life a little reading, united with sharp
sighted observation and good practical
common sense, made you the equals of,
and, perhaps, superior, to the great ma
jority of those living about you. But
now if a person only knows what he sees
and hears he is coustantly liable to be
the dupe of the great fast world that
rushes on above and ahead of him. A
knowledge of the past is well, in fact, es
sential, for a complete education, but a
full acquaintance with the present is in-
dispensible for one who would live up to
the privileges of this fast age and cope
successfully with the competitor’s of the
times. Now, under these circumstances,
where is the desirable information to
come from? Unquestionable from the
newspaper press of the county. Nowhere
else can this desideratum be found. This
“daily map of busy life”—so cheap that
it is within the reach of all—is of more
real, practical worth to your children,
than twenty times the same amount, ex
pended in any other way. Of course you
must encourage the young people to
read the papers, and induce in them the
love and habit of reading—and exercise
at least as much discretion in selecting
good ones, as you do in selecting a shot
gun for your son or a calico dress for
your daughter.
Ice-Bonnd Vessels.
Boston, February 22.—Of the ten ice
bound fishing vessels which bore south of
Wood End, Cape Cod, on Friday, only
eight remain in sight this morning, all of
which were further to leeward and more

other two vessels, and it is thought the
crews of the other vessels might reach
the shore to-day, as if they remain on
board no assistance can reach them, and
they will be exposed to great suffering.

Singular Death Bed Bequest-
Mrs. Lowden, who recently died in
New York, according to the New York
Sun, made a singular request on her
death bed. She was passionately fond of
dancing, and her death was hastened by
an over indulgence of that amusement.
When she realized that she was about to
die she requested that her remains might
be laid out on a board instead of in a cof
fin, and that she should be dressed in her
new ball dress of flesb^colored satin, with
white slippers. She also asked that a
fashionable hairdresser should be employ
ed to dress her hair in the latest style,
aud that her head should be turned to one
side after death to show the hair to ad
vantage. Her desire was complied with,
excepting that a casket was substituted
for tho board.
