NOT ALTOGETHER DISAPPOINTED.
We confess that we were somewhat disap
pointed by the result of the late election, es
pecially in the States of Pennsylvania and
Indiana. We could not believe that a ma
jority of the people of those. States were so
thoroughly indoctrinated with Massachusetts
fanaticism and malignity as to be utterly deaf
to reason, blind to their own interests, re.
creant to the principles of Democratic repub
lican government, and insensible to the
promptings of : every generous and magnani
mous sentiment. We knew that they loved
the South less, but we believed they loved the
Constitution more, and we hoped that in
choosing between continued wrong, outrage
and oppression of the Southern people and
the preservation of Constitutional Bepublican
government, they would stand by the latter
even at the price of forbearance towards the
former. The result did not realize our hopes
or our expectations—if that will suit our friend
of the Bainfaridge Argus better—and we own
that we were sadly disappointed. But if we
recollect rightly we predicted the success of
Beast Buttes—that he would defeat Dana or
any other decent, respectable man, of his own
or any other party, who might oppose him.
We based our calculation upon the fitness of
things—the character of the man and the
principles, of the people. We felt assured
that there was but one individual of whom
there is any record, sacred or profane, who
in all his characteristics and attributes is as
well qualified to represent the Radicals of
Massachusetts in Congress, or in any other
deliberative body, as Beast Buttes, and as
that Beast is too much employed in looking
after the morals of the people generally in
that region, and was not a candidate for Con
gress, we felt fully assured, as the next fitest
Beast for the place, Buttes would be returned
from his District. And the result has de
monstrated the correctness of our judgment.
The Beast has triumphed—he is re-elected,
and is to be turned ■ loose for another two
years to prey upon the country.
The Beast ib exultant in his triumph, and
will, return to Washington more arrogant,
conceited, unscrupulous and vindictive than
ever. On Thursday last he attended a Badi-
cal jubilee in Dowell, at which he made a
speech, of which a dispatch gives the follow
ing synopsis:
General Butler was greeted last evening by
about three thousand of his fellow-citizens,
to whom he made a brief speech. He had
triumphed, he said, under the motto of equal
ity to all men, and rights under the law, by
using freedom’s great weapon, the ballot.
He hailed our glorious triumph of Republi
can principles throughout the land, and be
lieved that it would bring peace and prosper
ity. We shall not long have murder enter
murder, and riot after riot. Look at New Or
leans, from which we havereported 25,000 for
Seymour and 276 for Grant. There was a time,
as he remembered, when the people of that
city behaved better (applause) and he felt
confident such a time would come once more.
Several Southern States have voted for Sey
mour, or are in doubt, because men’s lives
were threatened if they attempted to vote.
When Congress meets, as it will in a short
time, it will be our purpose to find a remedy
for this State of things, and if Andrew John
son does not second our efforts, though it
may be late in the day, we will try to provide
for him. (Applause.) If the Republican party
is true to the great Democratic principles of
Jefferson and others, it will hold the govern
ment for generations to come. We must be
true to the doctrines of equality, and trust in
the virtue and integrity of the great mass of
the people, rather than to any member select
ed from amopg them. Let us pledge our
selves, as a pSrty in power with a renewed-
lease, that we will aid in carrying out the
principles under which we have triumphed.
READING FOR THE TIMES.
The Richmond Whig treats its readers to a
well written and pleasant five column sketch
of the life and writings of Quintus Hobatius
Rtaccus. The editor in an apologetic intro
duction to his essay, suggests that it may af
ford the reader, as the composition of it did
the writer, some relief to the eternal bore of
politics. ‘‘And then,” says the editor, “ Ho
race is just the man for these times. He
fought with Bbutus at Fhillippi, saw the
hopeless -extinction of the liberties of his
country, and found in a wise philosophy a
cure for every care. In the midst of a mined
Republic, we can better appreciate him, for
we shall read him with new lights, supplied
by new emotions. ’’■
The article, which should be "preserved in
the pages of some of our magazines, sketches
the life and associations of the poet from an
early age, with incidental allusions to the po
litical history of his times and the events
coincident with .the extinction of Roman Re
publican liberty, so like the experiences of
onr own day arid generation as to suggest the
thought that history is but repeating itself,
and that with the American Republic as with
that of Rome, like causes must inevitably
produce like results.
The Democrats of our day are to be envied,
who, with the experiences of Hobace are
blessed with his philosophy.
Perhaps the prudence and resignation of
his matnrer (years may be attributed .to the
discipline of his early education, which
taught him submission. For this wholesome-
discipline, the foundation of the philosophy
which sustained him in disappointment and
adversity, in all probability he was indebted
to his Roman teacher Obbilius, the only one
of all his instructors of whom in his writings
he makes any mention, and whom he charac
terizes with, the epithet plagosus, from which
the Whig infers: that he was of the Teddy
O’Roubke order, a pedagogue of the old
Regime, who believed in the saving doctrine
that ‘1 the surest and most expeditions mode
of stimulating the brain of. a boy, was by a
counter irritant tickling Ms cataatropliy. ”
Had that mode of instruction prevailed in
this country, we would, perhaps, not only
have had poets like I Horace, hut more scala
wag philosophers.

fessor in Brown University. New York: D. Appleton

This volume is intended to aid the classical
student in acquiring a practical acquaintance
with the difficult but important snbject of
Latin composition. It aims to be at once
simple, progressive and complete. Starting
with the beginner as soon os he has learned a
few grammatical lessons, it conducts him,
step by step through a progressive series of
lessons and exercises, until he is so far mas
ter, both of the theory and the practice of the
snbject, that he no longer needs the aid of a
special text book.

Most of our citizens will recollect the
author of the pamphlet having the above
title, ■ who practiced his profession in this
city several years ago, and is now engaged in
an extensive practice at No. 12, Rue du Mont-
Thabor, Paris.
Opportune circumstances have enabled the
author to present a pamphlet of no little
interest to a large part of onr population,
while the ingenuity, simplicity, and certainty
of his peculiar and original system of treat
ment will be no small recommendation to the
pnrely professional reader.
The work was originally written in French,
but at the solicitation of many friendB has
been translated by the author, who, while
apologising for his Gallicisms, has managed
to intersperse just enough of them to add to
the grace and elegance of his language.
The work is dedicated to Dr. Wm. G. Bul
loch, as a testimony of the author’s kind re
gard and gratitude for the many and great
services received during Ms stay in Savannah.
A professional friend informs us that the
instrument invented by Dr. Gautillon can
be found at the well known Surgical Instru
ment Establishment of Robebt & Collier,
(formerly Chabbiebe,) Rue de l’Ecole de
Medecine, Paris. The pampMet. can be had

“PUT A BEGGAR ON HORSEBACK,” &c.
The Bullock is out with a proclamation
offering a reward of five thousand dollars for
the apprehension and conviction of the per
son or persons who caused the death of Al
bert G. Ruffin, Sheriff of Richmond county.
It is very proper that the civil authorities
should use every exertion to discover and
bring to punishment all violators of the law.
But the offering of extraordinary rewards for
the detection of the slayer of one of Ms own
partisans, while he does not even notice the
murders and other crimes perpetrated upon
citizens not of Ms party, is an insult to the law
and an outrage upon our people. Such ex
ecutive discrimination, instead of tending to
suppress violence, is indirectly encouraging
and instigating crime, by giving a seeming
toleration to murder upon one side and court
ing resentment on the other. There have been
many revolting murders of Democrats and
brutal outrages upon helpless women in this
State since the Bullock was installed at At
lanta, and we have yet to see a proclamation
from Mm offering even $1,000 reward for the
detection of the perpetrators. This ostenta
tious proffer of the money of the tax- payers
of Georgia in the shape of rewards, as in the
present case, is for the double purpose of at
tracting the attention and gaining the ap
plause of his Radical masters North, and of
irritating and goading his opponents to des
peration. It is an unworthy device of a base
partizan for the promotion of selfish par-
tizan purposes, and not for the purpose of
punishing and preventing crime.

Ms reputation for falsehood is such that even

still further that he gave the news as Ms cor

to a virtual acknowledgement that he had not

Afford material to relate
The story or a party large.
Where sheep took shepherd under charge ;
Where eldera.deaoonB.-rarious creed.
On all essentials fuU agreed.
Resolved in conclave on a sail, -
To recreate on novel ecaie.'
With chartered vesael and a crew
Not quite so learned, but wordly-wise,
And in each wisdom could devise
A score of plans on board a ship.
To make the voyage » pleasant trip-.
Well found the vessel, the skipper brave
As everbresatolhriffy w*Ye,’ '*•'
With ample stores, in ballast trim.
All ready, then the crew with vim
Cast off the moorings, down the bay -
With favoring breezes sailed away.
Thus sailed away this party large
Of sheep, with shepherd under charge.
And headed eastward, ontward bouadi - •
For cruising, fishing in the Bound.
And gone were they for many days.
Made many ports, saw many bays.
And touched at Islands, and a store
Of knowledge gained, and, furthermore.
These learned men and men of worth
Increased in appetite and girth. . ,
And linguists, too, could add a-store
Of sea phrase to their repertoire—
Peculiar things, learned from Ups
Of only those who dwell in ships.
■ The less recondite of the crew
Were daily learning something new—
To reef and splice, to spin s yarn,
And walk the crack from stem toatern;
But chiefly in repute were those
Whose genius with the occasion rose,
And who by iqritoct seemed tokn'ow
The haunts of flsh at ebb or flow—
Whose skill in tackle, handling bait,
Whose zeal no weather could abate—
Were boon companions one could wish
Whose prinlal object was to fish;
And fishing these, as though by rule,
With steady hand and eye so cool, / w
And seemed to have peculiar tact
For hooking fish, while some, in fact.
Would fish for hours without a bite.
Despondent oft, and oft, in spite, '
Success in others charged to Fate,
To better hooks or better bait
Though erasing daily in the Sound.
At night the crew an harbor found,
Where, safely moored or anchor cast,
Could sleep serene till night was past,
Without annoyance, troubled rest,
That comes to sleepers on the breast
Of moving waters, pitching, bounds .
And creaking timbers, rumbling sounds—
From such sensations seldom free
Are ships and landsmen on the sea.
The undul&tionB and careen
Of vessels on the deep marine
Teach landsmen all the upxight state
Has tendency to gravitate—
Brings; new aei^safcioxLs, where tfcd strain
Is more on diaphragm than brain—
Sensations grim, that grasp and creep,
Compelling tribute to the deep, ., .
Compelling men of strength and might
To sudden exit out of sight.
Or gliding off, demure as monk,
For refuge in the cabin, bunk,
In narrow quarters, hardly snug
As meanest insect in a mg,
To hope for sleep, if sleep will come,
And long for terra firma—home.
So much, in passing, of disease
Peculiar to the briny seas,
An ailment that has mnch to do
With gentle and with brawny, too,
Who venture on the deep in ships,
For business or for pleasure trips.
Thus thrown together many days,.
The crew could learn each other's ways,
Each salient point and turn of mind,
Where numor dwelt, and where to find
The even temper that could flit
Serene amid the shafts of wit.
In dress and manners unconstrained,
No rules conventional obtained,
But level all—still, dignified—
The doctors and the deacons vied
Each with the other to produce
The most from such a pleasant cruise.
Now, cruising over, homeward bound,
And having so much pleasure found—
Bobust and bronzed, condition prime,
And having had such jolly time—
Resolved our crew, it would appear
To cruise again another year.
So much the chronicles relate,
And writers fdr^her might dilate
On benefits that would enure
From such specific, and the cure ... „ .
Of much splenetic that obtains ' ’
With race of busy hands anfci brains, y '
Increase of health, increase of span,
By means that nature gives to man;
And many flocks in shepherd's charge
Might letihat shepherd, go at large,
And free from care, with nerves unstrung,
Go on a cruise for strength of lung,
Or send him to the mountain side—
A few choice sheep.his steps toguider-
To browse where they in summer time'.

Tax on Cotton to be Revived—A Warning
to Planters.—The following passage occurs
in a speech delivered by acting. Vice-Presi
dent Wade, of Ohio, at Cincinnati on the 10th
ultimo. It plainly foreshadows the revival of
the cotton tax, which operated so disastrous
ly upon all classes, and injuriously upon all
pursuits, in the South in 1866-’G7:
You remember we" put a tax upon cotton, the.
only thing under God’s heaven by which we
could get anything out of the rebels, they hav
ing rendered it necessary that we should in
cur this great debt in defence of the Govern
ment—and they howled abont the tax on cot
ton, and the whole: Democracy of the North,
out of Congress and in Congress, made such
an outcry against it that they s indufeed soft
headed Republicans to repeal it. The year
before we got abont twenty-eight millions out
of that cotton tax, and it came .out of the
very men, of all others, that should give some
of their substance to pay off that accursed debt
that we were forced to incur. But we threw
off that debt and this year did .not get ojje
cent of it. I would not agree to it. It was
ar magnanimity that degenerated into weak
ness. We ought to have made them pay it,
and this year we might have got $40,000,000
instead of $28,000,000, and let the Democrats

The Bully Bullock.—Bullock, on the day
of the election, telegraphed to. his particular
Mend, Sam Smith, that if his (B’s) illegal
proclamations were not respected the elec
tion would be vitiated. This blaster did not
make the people of Coweta respect his pro
clamations any more than the people of the
Corn and Cotton Thieves.—The extent to
which the planters of this county—and we
presume of, the whole country—are being
robbed,' is 'utterly amazing and unprece
dented. One planter weighed and put in
his gin house nine thousand pounds of seed
cotton and packed therefrom three light
bales. Another/m a single night lost about,
two thousand pounds in the seed, from his
gin house. Another has recently found near
ly a thousand 'pounds stolen -by one single
negro. The more modest rogues pick it
from the fields and jaccumulate in a small
way; the-bolder thieves drive wagons in the
day time login houses situated-in the fields
and at a distance . from the dwellings and
:take off bales ready packed.' 17110118 11116 01
the cotton is also true of the corn. This cot
ton, in quantities small or large—com in
sacks holding variously from one peck to two
bushels; according to the size and strength
of the thieves, are nightly exchanged at va
rious points throughout the country, for
poor whiskey and tobacco—paper soled shoes
and shoddy clothing, or sold. at the lowest
cash rates. The unmitigated’ white scoun
drels, who receive these stolen goods, lenoic
ing than to be such, and commit the double
villainy of inciting the negro ..to steal and
then swindling their ignorant confederates in'
crime, deserve the halter.
Cases are known, where snch fellows .with
a hundred dollars of stock in'trade, in a mis
erable box only eight by ten; and a cotton
and com patch of only a. couple of acres,
have sold eight and ten hales of cotton and
as many hundred bushels of com. : Not much
need of Gttano or Superphosphate 'on such

of red pepper and a convenient pond or creek
supply all the means for an abundant har

Until by special legislation or other effect

driven from the country, or put to honest
toil in the Penitentiary, we need not try to

worfc-wMeh is yet. to be accomplished. It
has become very apparent, thrqngn Ml#* has.
transpired in.Georgia and elsewhere, that the'
Re const ruction laws require careful revision
and perfecting in sundry particulars. The
negroes and loyal white^of^ue South greatly need
the means of self-defence. The question or con
fiscation, especially with reference to the
large amount of land fraudulently conveyed
from the possession of the United States
Government to the hands of rebels, should
be at once considered, inthe interest of the
landless blacks, to whom, by virtue of their past
unrequited toil, the soil rightfully belongs. A
- -'system of national-education which shall be
comprehensive, and at least co-extenSive
with the extension of- the ballot, should, early
he inaugurated by Congress. The measure of
primary importance now to be promptly in
itiated and adopted on.the re-assembling of
Congress, is an additional amendment, of the
Constitution forbidding disfranchisement, or
proscription from official trust, on ac
count of race or color, in any State
or Territory of the Union. Such an
amendment, if adopted promptly by
Congress and submitted to the legislatures of
the several Stetes, would, without doubt, now
be ratified J^y the requisite number. It is ur
gently demanded to guarantee the ballot to
Southern colored men, to enfranchise many
thousands in the Border and Northern States.
This measure should not be postponed for
the consideration of the Forty-first Congress,
but should be promptly acted upon and adopted
by the Ibrtieth. “Let us have peace” has
been many times reiterated during the cam
paign^ ust closed. One danger before us is
the assumption that the feet of Grant's elec
tion in itself will insure “peace” at the
South. Abolitionists and those who have
studied attentively Southern society know
better than this. While Southern Legislatures
are permitted to perpetrate such high-handed
outrages as the lawless expulsion of colored
members, as in Georgia, without due punish
ment ; if rebels are permitted to take seats in
the House of Representatives who come from
districts wherein colored and wMte Republi
cans were practically excluded from the polls,
“ peace ” cannot be realized. The negro is
still the bone of contention, and until his
manhood and political equality is
everywhere recognized he will con
tinue to be a disturbing element in
our politics. Smarting under their political
discomfiture, the Kti-Klux will still hold sway,
especially if their treasonable Chief is allowed to
remain in the While House till the fourth of
March next. With the triumphant re-election
of General Bntler, and the well-known desire
of most of the new Southern members for
the revival of the measure, we have strong
hopes of the successful consummation of the im
peachment and deposition of Johnson by the be
ginning of the neic year. With Wade even two
months in the WMte House, and such tools
of treason as Ronsseau, Steedman, and Com
pany, of New Orleans, replaced by Sheridan
and other trustworthy, loyal meu; with the
reconstruction laws properly revised and
amended; with suffrage and the right to hold
office vouchsafed to the negro everywhere,
the nation may be well on the way towards
“peace,” having secured its essential condi
tions, before Grant is inaugurated. While
deliberate aud organized injustice to the ne
gro isperpetuated, the “irrepressible conflict”
will continue, no matter who may be President.
“Let us have peace,’’then, by promptly doing
those things wMch make for peace.
The new era wMch opens before ns, with
the significant defeat of the slaveholders and
their apologists on Tuesday, is fall of in
terest to abolitionists and conscientious Rad
icals, to whom the national conflict means-
something more than mere partisan strife, to
end with election day. Our many triumphs
in the past have been won under circum
stances of adverse opposition much more
formidable than anything we are likely to
have to encounter in the near future. Oppo
sition we are undoubtedly to have, but now,
as hitherto, logic and right ore on our side.
We have but to press urgently and persever-
ingly our demand and our past successes are
a guarantee of ultimate complete triumph.
The Times, the Post, the Herald, and the
“conservatives” for whom they speak, al
ready exultant at what they deem the eclipse
of Radicalism, reckon without their host in sup
posing it to be within the power of General Grant,
if as they allege, it be his disposition, to mate
rially obstruct the progress of Radical reforma
tion in national poliiics. If the Repub
lican party consents to be the in
strument of that beneficient reforma
tion all will be well with both the party and
the country. If it refuses, it will only be
worse for the party. There is no half way
house for permanent judgment between slavery
and genuine republicanism. The only truly for
midable opponents the- abolitionists ever had
were the brain champions of the slave system
while their power was coextensive with the
nation and their leadership acknowledged
North and South. Their day is over. The
earnest Radicals are the positive force in the new
order of things. The tendency of this century is
to universal Radical Republicanism.

Per Contra, tlxc Springfield Republican
Reads a Lesson to the Radical Party.
.. [From the Springfield (Mass.) Bepublican, Nov. 4.)
The result of the election yesterday, though
it was all the Republicans could have asked,
was not a triumph of the Republican party as a
distinctive organization. » » » v And if the
victory was not acMeved by the Republican
party, as a political organization, in its own
strength and by the prestige of its name,
no more does it give that party, as an organ
ization, a new lease of power. * * * *
The result of the declion does not indicate a
popular approval: even of the general policy of
Congress. The election was carried in spile of
the policy. Had that simple issue been pre
sented, we very much fear every one of the
four Middle Stetes would have pronounced
against it.
* * * It may seem crabbed and cross
grained, in the first rejoicings over the victo
ry, to thrust forward such considerations.
But it was never of more importance that
the true meaning of the country should be
understood:' Congress may assemble in a
few days under the emergency created by
the carnival of crime at the South. At the
longest it will meet in a few weeks. Upon Us
temper depends very much. Representatives
have before this shown a strange facility, or
fatality, in misapprehending the wishes of
, the people. They must not do so now. - If they
imagine that the elections are a token of par
ticular admiration for them;'if they think they
can begin again, just where they left' off last
April, alarmed at the popular discontent and the
increasing danger of losing the election; . if ihey
alloWjhemselves to be persuaded that, now the
campaign is over, it will do to take the screws off
the expenditures, they make a great mistake.
They .wUl not get off so easily the next time.

managers of the Republican party—the men
who live by it and think they own it—wish to
keep it "in' the control “of the government,
they must make it attractive for-those who
look to honesty, integrity and efficiency in
administration. It is not difficult to gather
the sentiments of the men who have tamed
the scale, this time, ini fevor of the Republi
can party, and who must be looked to here
after to keep it in power. In voting to sus
tain the reconstruction acts, against the mad
designs of the reactionists, they have not de
cided against a change in those acts, but quite the
contrary. They desire an immediate amelioration
of them in their most offensive features. Thedis-
franehisementqfanyaass, or the exclusion of any
State, for acts done in the rebellion, never wise,
has grown to-be..simply ‘stuffid. The limited
disfranchisement imposed lias done harm and
only harm. It has not assured the control of
a single State in loyal hands. It hasjlifted
the disfranchised into undue and unsafe im
portance, and given them a title of.respect
among their fellow-citizens. Towards
the general Government it has sim
ply served to annoy and exasperate
all classes, and make violence and negro-in
timidation seem something like feir reprisal.
Unqualified negro suffrage is another feature that
willnot bear examination, and must eventually be
modified; but the circustanees of the situation
are so difficultand peculiar,that animmediate
: change is not practicable. AIT that can be
done hereafter, all, indeed, that is desired to
he done, is_'it to'introduce throughout the
country an .educational test, impartial with
. respect to color and sex, by wMch. the suf
frage will be limited to persons of some in
telligence, whether black, wMte,red or yellow.
But U is in matters of revenue and expenditure
that the sense of the country is mast positive, and
Us resolution taken. • • • • jjr e cannot
go on as we are. The country is losing strength
