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. Our Florida Correspondence. Madison, Fla.? December 12/1868. 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 man and brother,” who, having been used by base knaves slid hypocrites for- .the pur pose of stirring up strife, and. bloodshed in the South for their own political purposes, is now to be spuraedlikaLa dog from their 1 pres ence. Not only is,he to be excluded from his seat as unworthy to associate with Republi cans, but he is to be made the object of their contfemptuouB'lqvitg. / ~-' r .' j .TfLOd Respectable negroes, those who have any character or self-respect, should not feel hu miliated by being excluded from Radical as sociation. , The least ,wise among them have We trust stifheient discernment to discover in due time who are their true friends. 1. N’i DEaBiair- At the last vveeX^. term of 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. ton Superior Court an im portant case- cam e^up4n-a -suit for damages. Mr. Howard, last; spring, made a contract" with freedmen to work for him during the year. Afterwards.Mr. Salter hired.the name vent ' bn ■Telegraph. The motion made in Congress to appropri ate. $50,000 to. defray the expense of Presi dent Johnson’s defence-in the impeachment trial should be passed: He was acquitted, and the necessary legal presumption is that he was innocent No innocent man should be compelled to defray the expenses of his own trial.—Buffalo Commercia Advertiser {Radical.) ’ The New York limes also favors the pas sage of bill for the same reason^ An Englishman proposes to overcome mon itors with-vessels armed with fire engines, which will tittOW water into the portholes and wet the powder, and into the smoke- stack and put out the fires, tars” will “board the helplt ess lpg,” and take it into port. He proposes thus to “put an ' end to maritime warfare." The scheme would no doubt work admin- ably, provided the monitor were to cease fir- ing during the squirting process; otherwise the operation would be attended with some danger. Mr Gaylobd Clarke, for/many years con 'd actor of the old Knickerbocker, Was so se- "verely injured at his' home at Fiermont on Wednesday that a fatal result is apprehended. In starting down stairs his foot caught in the carpet; precipitating him ,tl»e length Of 'the entire i flight, a .distance of some thirty feet. He was taken up senseless, and has, with brief intervals, continued so up to the period of our last information. Parties from Halt Lake City report that the grading of the Central Pacific railway has been completed one hundred, and ten miles west of that place. The remaining eighty miles to the end of the track will be graded in three weeks. No interruption to the lay ing of the track has occurred thus far, and none" is expected during the winter until the road reaches- the' Wassaeh Mountains, east of Salt Lake. ; On the 1st of January about $27,000,000 in coin will be taken from the vaults of the Treasury Department to pay the semi-annual interest on the bonds of 1881 and the five- twenties falling due at that time. 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.
