TUESDAY. DECEMBER 32, 1808.
THE BARD OP THE ERA HAS “STRONG
REASONS ” POR AN OPINION.
Whatever may be our low estimate of the
political honesty of the Babd of the Atlanta
Era, we nevertheless regard him as tolerably
good authority in regard to the designs and
purposes of his Radical masters at Washing
ton. Not only is he their subservient, unhes
itating tool, obedient to their will in all
things, but, as we have before remarked, ho
has recently been to Washington, where he
had an opportunity of learning the news of
the leading Radicals in reference to the Bul
lock and Blodgett scheme of repudiating
the Reconstruction of Georgia, as recently
consummated by Congress. Baud s opinions,
as such, are unworthy of consideration; but
as indications of the line of policy proposed
to be adopted by the controlling men of his
party in reference to our State, they might at
least be considered in the light of political
straws as showing the present direction of the
Radical hurricane. It is for this reason that
we, just at this time, attach more than usual
importance to the oracular utterances of the
Dogberry of the Radical press of Georgia.
In his last issue he says:
“ It is our opinion, aud we hope it may
prove true, that the Georgia muddle will be
postponed by Congress till after the 4th day
of March, when Gen. Grant will be Presi
dent. There are many strong reasons to our
mind why the postponement should be
made.”
There are many strong reasons to his mind
why the postponement should be made till
after the 4th of March, when Gen. G rant
will be President. Mark that, fellow-citizens.-
He has “ strong reasons” for the faith that is
in him. Baud knows Gen. Grant. Babd
nominated Gen. Gkant for the Presidency;
in fact, Babd made Gen. Gkant what he is.
Babd has just returned from Washington,
where he had many consultations with Gen.
Gkant, who no doubt thoroughly posted him
in regard to the line of policy which he in
tends to pursue. There can, indeed, be no
doubt that the Babd of the Era speaks ad
visedly, and that he has “ strong reasons” for
promising us at least a respite from further
persecution till the 4th of March next.
There is still another circumstance that
gives us encouragement. The Babd has
closed up his rear, and is determined to stand
firm in the position he has taken, more firm
ly we trust than he did when he announced
his resolution to “stand by President John
son” in opposing the congressional recon
struction scheme. He has evidently stronger
reasons for standing firm now. Some of his
Republican brethren having written him
down an -‘Ass” for his apostacy he thus in
dignantly retorts in two double leaded edi
torials:
“Because we decline to go back upon the
Congressional plan of reconstruction, a few
sickly Republicans have attempted to read us
out of the party ! We will advise these per
sons that we stand unmoved in our position,
and that we expect to advocate Republican
principles after they are politically dead aud
forgotten.
“The Era will not depart from its past re
construction policy. It will simply oppose
tearing up whut has already been accom
plished. The charge that we have gone back
on the Republican party is a base falsehood,
gotten up by evil minds for selfish purposes
and wicked ends.
“Those who charge us thus may be com
pared to men who bring on fires in order to
rob their neighbors. ”
Swindling by Grocers.—The New York
World has set on foot an investigation to as
certain the kind and amount of swindling
practiced in New York by retail grocers and
provision dealers. It sent a man round to
different stores, who bonght articles for ordi
nary household consumption, and afterwards
tested the weight or measure of these arti
cles by means of sealed measures and offi
cially verified scales. It also employed a
chemist to analyze them to ascertain the
amount and kind of adulteration. “The re
sults of these tests (its says) are fairly start
ling. Adulterations are frequent, and false
weights aud measures almost universal. It is
estimated that the loss to consumers by false
weights and adulterants is full fifteen per
cent, and the aggregate in this city per an
num S54,000,000.”
The World says, as soon as it has made a
full exposure of the frauds, and by whom
practiced, (it is giving the names of the gro
cers and their weights compared to the real
ones,) it intends to suggest remedies.
It would almost seem that the world is so
wicked that au honest man can find no place
in it
Extension of Franchise.—The bill intro
duced by Mr. Wilson on the 13th instant, in
the Senate, “ to regulate the elective fran
chise in the District of Columbia,” provides
for striking out the word “male” in the first
sectiou of the election laws of this District
now in force, and that every word in said acts
applicable to persons of the nuile sex shall
apply equally to persons of the female sex,
so that hereafter women who are inhabitants
of the District of Columbia, and citizens of
the United States, may vote at all elections
and be eligible to all civil offices in said Dis
trict, on the same terms and conditions in all
respects as men. The bill has been printed.
CONTBIBUTIONB FOB THE SUFFEBEBS BY THE
Peruvian Earthquake.—Information has
been received at the Department of. State
from the Minister of the United States at
Lima, of the receipt by him of a bill of ex
change for two thousand pounds sterling,
contributed by citizens of San Francisco and
California, for the alleviation of sufferings
caused by the recent earthquakes in Peru,
and of its delivery by him to the Minister of
Foreign Affairs of that country, on the 2d of
November, 1868.
It is rumored in diplomatic circles that a
good sum of the Alaska purchase money went
to New England, and was there paid out on
arms-contracts, with “margins” for the bene
fit of parties concerned. It is also generally
asserted that F. P. Stanton received a fee for
professional advice, and that some of the Pa
cific coast correspondents were retained.
The Court of Claims.—The clerk of this
court reports to Congress that, for the year
ending December 7, 1868, decisions involv
ing the amount of $800,000 have been made.
One of these claims was for $123,000, the
value of captured cotton. The largest sums
were awarded in this class of cases.
Immigration.—The number of emigrants
who have arrived at New York, from January
1st to December 9th, 1868, is reported at
208,096, against 235,410 during the same
period in 1867.
It is now openly stated that more than two
million dollars of the Alaska purchase money
was U9ed to secure the ratification of the
treaty.
A couple of Houston negroes got into a
quarrel over cards, and one chased the other
into the bayou, where he was drowned. Now
there arises the interesting question whether
it is murder.
[From the Philadelphia Press, December H.]
Alexander H. Stephens, it is said, is about
to accept the chair of bellcs-lotters in u Geor
gia college. Collegiate professorships seem
to be the refuge of the shattered leaders of
the rebellion, from Lee aud Semites down.
Just what the effect of this will be on the fu
ture of the country every man can best con
sider for himself.
Poor Forney, says the World, is shocked
that “the shattered leaders of the rebellion'
are competent to take belles-letters chairs in
Southern colleges, and therefrom evolves ter
rible things to the future of the country.
But how about the country and the rising
generation, if some of the as j-et unshattered
leaders of the loil—such scholars as Sprague,
Chandler, Wade, Wilson, and even Fobney,
whose belles-letter chairs might be founded
upon the infamously celebrated Jamison let
ter—were to assume professorships in some
of our Northern colleges? The Press be
lieves in committing the government of
Southern States, the enactment of laws, and
the drafting of constitutions to swamp ne
groes; but happily reconstruction, with all
its power, has not been able to prevent the
Southern people from committing the educa
tion of their children to cultivated and schol
arly men.
The Case of Commodore Meade.—Commo
dore B. W. Meade, whose recent remarkable
incarceration in a mad-house created so great
an excitement all over the country, and has
been so generally commented on in the news
paper press, addresses the following letter to
the New York Evening Post, in which he fore
shadows further developments in regard to
the conspiracy which made him the compul
sory associate for a time with some of the
most unfortunate of God’s creatures in the
Bloomingdale Asylum:
To the Editors of the X. Y. Evening Post: -
The recent outrage perpetrated upon me,
•which had such full exposure, and awakened
so widely the public indignation, will be re
conciled to my mind if it tend to prevent
similar conspiracies. As the pieces of silver
given to Judas displayed the motives for the
betrayal of the Saviour of mankind, so did
the marriage of my daughter the morning
after my entrapment shed all the light needed
upon that atrocity.
I may find reason for speaking more at
large upon this subject hereafter. My imme
diate purpose, in this card, is to tender my
thanks to my true and warm personal friends,
to the public press, aud to au independent
judiciary, as vindicated through a warm
hearted,' honest, bold and clear-sighted judge.
As it is not always the good fortune of vic
tims to be rescued, as I have been, by humane
and voluntary hands, from a living tomb, it
will be some consolation if my case shall be
among the last of its kind in Christendom.
In order that it may have the blessed result,
I may be required in a further communica
tion to allude to the circumstances which
prove it to be a transaction of unmitigated
cruelty, and without a shadow of legal or
reasonable excuse. Yours truly,
R. W. Meade.

amended internal revenue laws all smoking
aud fine-cut chewing tobacco and snuff on

taining one-half, one, two, four, eight, and
sixteen ounces, or in wooden packages con
taining teu, twenty, forty, aud sixty pounds
each. All snuff in packages containing one,
two, four, eight, and sixteen ounces, or iu
bladders not exceeding teu pounds each, or
in jars not exceeding twenty pounds each.
“The rates of stamps are as follows: On all
fine-cut chewing tobacco, thirty-two cents

clusively of stems, or with all the stems in
and so sold, and all scraps or sweepings,

affix them to the packages. The penalty for
failure to comply with these provisions will

A Moral Dry Rot.—Rev. Henry Ward
Beecheb took occasion, a few days ago, to
nnbnrden himself upon the overwhelming
public and private demoralization of tbe
times. It was a fertile theme and he dis
coursed heavily. Au nniveisal dry rot in
fected society nnd he scored it from foun
dation to turret-stone. Of the Judiciary, he
says:
“The community is so low in its moral
tone that indignation cannot rise in thunder
against them. The justice of the courts, I
repeat, is rotten, rank aud foul. I say we are
in more danger now than before slavery was
wiped away; for truth, justice and honesty
have departed. Our most sacred liberty and
institutions are being destroyed. Money
rules supreme aud our courts of justice stink
with corruption. We are in more danger
now than by being overwhelmed with slavery.
Money is our danger and tbe corruption
which follows it.”
The Secession of Cuba.—It has an odd
sound to hear Chevalier Forney wishing suc
cess to the contemplated secession of Cuba
from Spain. He says: “The case is with the
native population, and all good men pray for
their success.” Forney adds:
Not much time will elapse before the whole
problem will be solved, and if Cuba should
achieve her independence, “then,” to use the
language of the Osteud manifesto, “no human
power can prevent the citizens of the UniU'l Stales
and liberal men of other countries from rushing
to their assistance."
Murder in Charlotte.—We are informed,
says the Columbia Phoenix of December Uttb,
that James A. Gleason, a prominent merchant
of Charlotte, was murdered by a freedman,
yesterday, in the Mayor’s office in that city.
A dispute arose between them in the office, ns
witnesses assert, when the negro drew his
pistol and shot Mr. Gleason through the
heart, killing him instantly. There is intense
excitement.
Reno, one of the express robbers who was
hanged recently by a mob at New Albany,
Indiana, confessed to his gnilt in conversa
tion with the Governor at Toronto, but
claimed that Anderson, another of the mob’s
victims, was innocent.
General Harney is reported to have said
that “the government ought to adopt a policy
of feeding the Indians on the Plains. It
would be cheaper to board them at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, in New York, than to fight
them.” _
Writers from Paris say that during the late
visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to
the French Court, the Prince neglected his
wife abominably.
A citizen of Indiana, who has had the ex
perience of eight wives, says divorces are
much cheaper than funerals as a way of dis
posing of an uncongenial partner,
Queen Victoria is again a grandmother.
This time Princess Mice of Hesse is the
cause, and the grandchild a son.
