THE MAN AND BROTHER.
Tlia manner in which the Radicals in Wash
ington give the cold shoulder to the negro
Congressman, Maraud, (we believe is his
name) from Louisiana,-should serve to con
vince the discerning blacks of the hollow
ness of Radical professions of especial friend
ships and sympathy for their race. When
“the man and brother,” who is a contestant
for a seat in Congress, having, we believe,
the certificate of the Radical Governor of
Louisiana in his poeket, arrived in Washing
ton, confidently expecting the cordial em
braces of the leading Radicals in the Honse,
he must have been surprised to find that he was
avoided and spumed by them as if he had been
a leper. No friendly hand welcomed him to
the Capitol or guided him to a cushioned seat
among the white folks, upon the floor of the
House. No kind “ How de dew'r” greeted
his arrival among the Representatives of the
Universal Yankee Nation, and no sreecher.
for human equality and human rights en
quired after the health of the member from
Louisiana, or what was the sanitary condition
of his picaninies in the Pellican State. On
the contrary, he found himself surrounded,
at a respectful distance, by the “buckra”of this
North, who, if they had not the dignified
manners and courtly bearing of the gentle
men of the South; were-more rudely, su
percilious and scornful, and whose freezing
reserve and haughty disdain' made him feel
more sensihlythan ever the distance between
his own and the meanest of the white race. Men
DANGER OF REPUDIATION.
Repudiation is looming up in the North as
well as the'-West. We copied' yesterday^a
significant article from the Cincirmati^Sigui-
rer, says the Mobile Register, on the unequal
burthens of the West. To-day we have a
——8—wax———mmtm—
•voice from the Hast. The leading Democn
ic organ of. the city of New York, and which
largely represents the political sentiments of
the several States; holds the following la
guage in its issue of the 23d nit. In advert
ing to the wise, honest and economical ad
ministration of ' the finances and taxes in
Great Britain, the World emphatically de-
Clares:
Unless we, too, can manage our debt with
some approximation to wisdom, it would be
better to repudiate the whole of it at once
(disgraceful as that would be) _ rather than
have oiir public service and business circles
fester with chronic moral rottenness. By re
pudiating the debt and abolishing high taxes,
; we'ahouid lie delivered from the gangs , of
thieves that fatten upon the public revenue.
The World concludes its elaborate article
with the following pointed and most sensible
paragraph:
We have had quite enough of foolish pane
gyrics on a war which has Rapped the foun
dations of-public morality, and introduced a
gfritg of things which is as disgusting and dis
graceful as it will soon be intolerable. These
shallow glorifications of one oi the worst
scourges of humanity having served the pur
pose of lifting a soldier to the Presidency,
and debasing the suffrage by a great influx of
barbarism, it is high time that they were
stopped, and the public attention directed to
the means of stemming the foal flood of cor
ruption which is the direct consequence of a
hideous and unnecessary war—unnecessary,
because it could have been avoided if; in the
winter after Mr. Lincoln’s first election,, the
Republicans would have consented to restore
the Missouri Compromise line aud extend it
to the Pacific.
The way for the bond-holders of the North
to bring about the repudiation of the im
mense debt which now yields them hundreds
of millions of interest in gold free from taxa
tion, is to- force “ universal manhood suf
frage,” as they call it, upon the country. The
lower the standard of the Suffrage the less
the sense of moral obligation or national
honor. The negroes of the South have pecu
liar ideas of metim and tuum, and are native-,
bora died in the wool repudiators, from the
payment of a national debt which they do
not understand down to the individual right
of property in a pig pen or a hen roost. They
consider it “unconstitutional” to be requir-
-ed to pay even a poll tax, especially since
Bollock’s proclamation releasing them from
compliance with the requirements ol' the
Constitution, ami it will be the easiest mat
ter-in the world for the demagogue who seeks
their votes to get the idea through their w6ol
that they ought not to be taxed on everything
they raise, eat, drink and wear, to pay mil
lions of interest in gold, to the bond-holders,
who pay no taxes at all, who do not labor,
but live in elegant houses, wear fine clothes,
ride in fine carriages, and eat roast turkey
for dinner every day. After ''universal man
hood suffrage” comes national, repudiation
and bankruptcy. So, “ on with the dance,
gentlemen bond-holders. If you can stand
it, we can.

Editors Homing News :
Judge Long is holding his Court here this
who could consort with, and treat with famil
iarity the carpet-bagger Clot, toe'ignoranF
white-livered milk-sop who now disgraces the
name of Representative by misrepresenting as
far as he is capable, the First Congressional
District of Geoigia—men who could tolerate
the presence of even such a creature—turned
their backs upon the “man and brother” from
Louisiana, or ogled him at a distance as he
sat solitary and alone upon a sofa outside-the
rail, until unable longer to bear their coarse,
unfeeling disdain, he slunk from their pres
ence, and, as^wCare? told, found aplaee-of
concealment behind the clock jn the galleiy
. among a.grpup of men and _ brethren ,of his
own complexion. Even Fobney treats his
colored ally from Louisiana with contemptu
ous scorn, indulging in heartless levity at his
expense. In a late issue of the Press, threat
ening to inflict him as.a_nuisance on the
Democratic members, he says:, “We sincere
ly hope their nerves may tie put to the wt:
most tension by liis-being compelled to take
a seat on,tlmir‘ sid§ ,of the House. Perhaps
by the end of the session they may have be
come accustomed to the innovation.
So much for Chevalier Fobney’s’respect for
the “ man and brotheiv ”-in whose eyes he is
only a counter in the game of politics, and
in whose nostrils he is a stench.
A report having been circulated in the. pa-
r tha Judge Chase was seen to rest for a
moment on the sofa occupied by the colored
Representative from Louisiana, a Washing
ton journal in ttfe interest of the Chief Jus
tice, indignantly denies that he was .guiltyof
such unworthy condescension.
Such

by base knaves slid hypocrites for- .the pur
pose of stirring up strife, and. bloodshed in
the South for their own political purposes, is

THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMETTEE
AND THE GEORGIA CARPET-BAG-
UERS. -
The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timbre Gazette says “the Reconstruction Com
inittee held a long session on Friday, on the
subject of Georgia, and were very much di
vided in sentiment as to the power of Con
gress to perpetuate its guardianship over a
sovereign State. A member of the minority
of the Committee states that the Committee
will probably recommend that the Georgia
Senators be allowed to take their seats, and
it is believed that such a recommendation
will be controlling, as the understanding is
general, that whatever the Committee shall
recommend the same shall be approved by
the two Houses of Congress. The discussion
in the Committee on the question as what
should be done with the carpet-baggers who
had dared to expel from the Georgia Legisla
ture their colored colleagues, was for a time
quite stormy to-day, and a great variety ol
propositions was submitted. Among other
tilings it was proposed that the whole work
of reconstruction in Georgia should be de
clared a failure, and the State be again made
a military district- and placed under - military
government untilafter-toe 4th of March next
On this proposition the Committee adjourned
over until ten o’clock to-morrow. The loss
of Mr. Stevens, as the head of this “per
petual” Committee, has destroyed, in a great
measure, its decision and harmony.”

. General Gbant’s Last Great Speech.—
The New York Sun relates that soon after
General Grant's arrival at Governor Burn
side’s residence on tiis recent visit to Provi
dence, the music of a band was heard out
side playing “Hail to the Chief.” The Gover
nor threw" up a window and showed the
streets full of people. General Grant step-
ped forward, bowed, and was about to retire,
when the crowd called for a speech. He
Shook his head, when several voices cried
out, “Just two words, General.” The answer
come sharp and quick, “No, sir!” and the
crowd appreciated the hit by cheers and
laughter.

Homicide in the Rutland* District.—On
Friday last, Mr. Mort. Minchey and a man
named Bill Burgy go* into a fight, out Ri
what is known as the 'Rutland district in tbi«
bounty,:in which Minehey was stabbed to
the heart and instantly killed with a knife in
the hands of Burgy. We could get nothing
definite or satisfactory as to the origin of the
fatal difficulty. It is said that Burgy stabbed
his victim, fatally, a second time, after he
had fallen upon the ground, lifeless.—Macon
Telegraph.
Tuesday. The records of this , and former,
courts show (notwithstanding!the falsehoods,
officially aud otherwise, that have been cir-
ciliated against us,) that it is hard to find,
under the circumstances, even in “lott New
England,” a more peaceable, order-loving
and law-abiding people than the conservative
masses of Madison county. No such infa
mous; premeditated crime as that for which
Deacon Andrews has just been convicted at
Plymouth, Mass., disgraces the records of
our county. Although indirect^ abortive at-'
tempts, by officials high in authority, have
been made to incite the people to riots, they
have no where Bncceeded, even bytheir Radi
cal innovations, outrages and wrongs upon
the people,and the science of properly regu
lated Republican government The charge
of Jndge Long to the grand jury was well
received and approved by the orderly, peace-
loving, conservative citizens of the county.
A great many amusing little incidents oc
curred in calling and" organizing the'juries,
and holding them within call, not worth
while; to relate here. FTig rulings have been
prompt; and his determination to keep order,
and enforce dignity, long faces and solemn
quiet from the people, in contrast, was some
what amusing and laughable.
The 10th was the day advertised by the
wings of the Radical party" to speak at this
place. Both parties came up to time. The
illegally appointed, but “de facto'' Sheriff of
the county, opened the meeting in a blarney
speech to the freedmen, calculated-only to
stir up strife: the Gipsies alone, of course, to
reap the profit thereof.
Next follows 0. H. Hamilton, called by his
chums “Handsome Charley.” Very much
like a turkey gobbler in the spring of the
year among the hens, he strutted up and
down among “my colored friends and breth
ren,” his arms, fingers and pins quivering all
over. Against Saunders, his colored oppo
nent,; he indulged in the most unneighborly
and revengeful language. After this ginger-
pop, £ham spread-eagle, supposed demoraliz
ing of Saunders, who was so much in his way,
like a dead duck, as he is, he whined mostly
on dead issues. He seems, terribly alarmed,
and counts over his- fingers to illustrate the
fjjrmidable opposition Saunders was produc
ing fpr Congressional honors, and begged
like on Indian for the votes of “my colored
friends and brethren. -’ He did his best; tint
it was a feeble effort, to destroy the kindly
relations existing between the whites and
freedmen; exerting himself to create distrust
on* the part of the freedmen, and to engender
a feeling of animosity between the two races,
excepting, always, the truly loit “carpet-bag
gers.’! The meeting, like the “packed Con
vention," was so arranged that the Saunders’
party should only have twenty-five minutes
in till to answer him and his attacks, occupy
ing some four hours. Such unfairness, how
ever, is in keeping with th > self-styled ‘ ‘trooly
toil.” j
Walls, colored, from Marion county,
friend of Saunders, was called to occupy the
twenty-five minutes. He skinned “Handsome
Charley” from head to loot; accused him of
many naughty things, such as “trying to sell
out the negroes” while a member of toe Con
vention, on the rampage to Monticello. The
unkindest cut of all was the accusation of
want of sense, and impeachment on the
brain, asserting, when compared with Saun
ders, or himseU’, a true Virginian, he was no
body and no where.
This “muss” among toe Radicals, r.-ito the
candidates for Congress, and toe two live
rinDOinnwi tTirn Cn/ivofnwiaa A A-
Governors, two, Secretaries of State, two. At-
• torney Generals, Arc., is toe old story—the
alienation of friends —toe quarrel of man and
wife. Harrison Reed was a Radical Gipsey
from Vermont by way of Wisconsin, “a He-
brew of the Hebrews.” Arriving in - East
Florida, he was hild up by toe tribe, then
and there, as a man who dared to be trne to
instructions of toe “ring” for toe reconstruc
tion of Florida, in toe face of instant death.
At that time all toe Gipsies, witoont toe least
occasion of alarm, but, however, knowing they
inteudetl a great wroi g to toe people of the
State, like all wrong-uoers. their cowardly
imaginations, formed brilliant images for
mischief, of cyclopic relis. in every cloud, be
hind every tree, and in all gatherings of
‘ ‘white people. ” Harrison Reed soon proved
his right to be called a Radical Gipsey by bis
management of' post office matters, and
“smartness" in travelii g upon a free pass as
detective for toe Post Office Department, on
his own promotive business; also his many
revolutionary, declamatory, and semi-incen
diary speeches to the freedmen, telling many
long and fabled yarns. No words of eulogy
were at that time too sweet for Harrison Reed.
Gipsies of every stripe and hue, with one eye
and with two, with whole and into cropped
ears, those always at large, and those just
from jail, those with floating locks and white
neck-tie^ as. well as those with sliingled
hair, j congratulated themselves on having
secured hias a reconstruction candidate for
Governor. Then it was said he would dare
anything in defence of the tribe. Pluck and
unyielding will were toe qualities for which
“rebs" were invited and advised to admire
him, and we confess that we do somewhat
admire the possession of them, even in a
mule or an ass. He was elected by toe negro
vote of toe State, and in the course of time
the military authorities transferred the State
government to him, and by due coarse of law
Florida toe second time became a State of
the Union, and some suppose with 1 the same
Mississippi or New York; ^
Harrison Reed, Governor, for 'a time ful
filled the promises and obligations to his tribe
in a manner that delighted the Gipsey mind;
and actually consoled some of toe tribe by
making a mistake in the name of Gibbs
(colored), so that his nomination to an im
portant “wanted office” would not be con
firmed. It was not an uncommon remark
among toe Gipsies, that it was a providential
event to have a Governor of such stern stuff;
os to ensure the purification of the State from
toe last “taint of treason,” and the rendering
of “complete justice-to the negro.” But
Gibbs, after a time, did not think so. There
were at that time Gipsey blasphemers who
thanked God bluntly “that toe intelligence
and wealth of'Florida were at last to be
scourged’’-by so smart-and stem-a “earpet-
llarrison Reed, Governor, after inspecting
and making a full survey of his tribe, soon
discovered that there was not talent enough
among them all to “run toe machine,” and
that he could not have smooth sailing and a
comfortable time, or a respectable showing
with other States, by drifting helplessly along
with, the Gipsy current, all muddled, as it was,
for want of intelligence, learning and wisdom
in State craft, of which he was himself un
gracefully deficient Therefore he com
menced to make friends with toe “rebs”
(t—r—a—i—t—o—r—s, we hear them hypo
critically say), a necessity to carry on the
Government respectably and peaceably, and
in some Radical Gipsy measures was probably
influenced to act correctly, for. the best in
terests, credit, and.-future welfare and pros
perity of the State.
For these deflections from the course which
Gipsyism had pointed out to him, he was soon
denounced, and a “ring" formed to "straiten
him out” or get rid of him. His former
friends knew all toe ropes—his sins of omis
sion as! well as commission—and, toe “first
opportunity," served him as Thad. Stevens
and others served “Andy Johnson.” The in
telligent and thinking portion of the people
of Florida, outside of Gipsy influences, and
who look at all" these operations and transac
tions-calmly, dp. not see in Governor Reed’s
tij in opposition to Radical Gipsy policy
any other motives than those which impelled
him while traveling over toe State, electioneer
ing to make a “negro party,” and urging on
to that end his Gipsy “whippers-in,” that he
might be bolstered up and succeed in his un
dertaking.
It is customary for narrow-minded partizans
and spoils-seekers, generally flunkeys, to
extol fealty to party above all other virtues.
Party tools of this land despise men who will
not sell their best convictions to satiate
sordid hucksters, and only for this, ' they tell
tales of “what they know,” and now execrate-
their former liand-and-gloye friends amttfel-
low Gipsies or “itinerant carpet-baggers.”
It is not Our business to take sides in the
settlement of toe differences between Harri
son Reed, Governor, and his old friends, on
all the points; but we can property say this
much of what we seriously believe; if he had
not resisted the ultra measures (for which he
is in a great measure responsible) of toe Radi-
tho
cal Gipsies; we should never have heard of
this ‘ ‘muss.” The chief cause of regret among
considerate and" intelligent men i3 that the
Governor had Dot taken his decisive issue
with Radical Gipsyism earlier. Had he done
so, and had he illustrated in so doing,
qualities which he was popularly
with possessing at the time the tribe of
sies “first talked of -him for Governor,”
might have been Spared the humiliatibn
-Which Gipsyism is endeavoring to put npon
him. —!■-*' -
However much Harrison Reed may be cov- |
ered with obloquy by those who :ure now
swiftty after him with “a sharp stick;” and
whatever may be the issue of toe ‘ muss,”
toe will stand somewhat better in history than
if he had continued to lend -himself; -like a-
thing of party, to the selfish, unpatriotic and
ruinous moulding fingers of Radical Gipsy
ism; because, he who has toe apparent or
seeming wisdom and magnanimity to retrace
his steps when convinced of error, will soon
er or later be-rewarded with toe respect and ,|
gratitude of intelligent people. L R. ENE.
