of the Atlanta

new ideas on the subject of reconstruction.

no assurances of position to-morrow.
DEATH OF REV. GEO. L. B 4RRY, OF
- CTJTHBEBT.
The Cnthbert Appeal records the death
of Bev. Gkoeoe L. Babbt, which occurred in
that city on Monday, the 21st mat, hfter a
lingering and painful illness, which he bore
with exemplary fortitude and Christian resig
nation. Noticing the death of this venerable
and good man, the Appeal says:
We have never known a character pos
sessed of more honesty, originality and mde-
pendence. Masonry was the pride and de-
h<?ht of bis existence, and that ancient order
has lost in him an able champion and bright
and shining light To every Lodge in Geor
gia he was known as a popular and accom
plished lecturer. It may be proper here also'
to state, that his family will receive the bene
fits of his connection with the life insurance
Bystem of the fraternity.
Judge Barry passed away like the calm set
ting of the summer’s sun, without a cloud to
obscure the horizon of eternity. In his last
moments he made every arrangement
connected with his burial, directing especial
ly that his remains be placed in a plain coffin,
with the regalia of the Masonic order, and
his office of P. D. G. M., laid upon the lid.
Apologetic.—While we claim some credit
for our Christmas achievement, having given
the readers of the “Moening News” adouble
sheet, comprising a large amount of literary
reading, with the political, commercial and
general news of the day, we yet feel that a
word of explanation .and apology is due both
to our readers and ourselves. In the hurry
of putting our forms to press at a late hour of
the night, editorial notes, and other matter pre
pared for our editorial page, was accidentally
omitted, and an anecdote, not at all in accord
ance with our taste, inserted. This very ob
jectionable article met the eye of the editor,
for the first time, after our edition had been
printed.
Fug: tk Hamburg.—About two o’clock on
Saturday morning the large wooden building
known as the Hamburg Hotel, with several
other buildings, were discovered to be on fire.
The alarm brought the Augusta firemen to
the spot, who did all that was possible to sub
due the flameB, but so extremely cold was the
weather, that the water froze as it left the
pipes of their engines, and the buildings
were consumed. Mr. Davis Lipfai.t., who
occupied the lower floor of the hotel as a
provision store, barely escaped with his wife
and children, losing $500 in greenbacks and
nearly his entire stock of goods, most of
which was stolen by the negroes after being
rescued from the flames. His stock was val
ued at $3,000. He was insured in the Eufeu-
la Home Insurance Company for $1,000. The
buildings belonged to Mrs. Jane Lew, of
Augusta, whose loss is estimated at three to
four thousand dollars. She was insured for
$1,500.
a With an ever ‘'open rear,
an advance, a fl«-rvlr movement, a retreat, or
a skedaddle* as a sutler’s mule. Destitute of
principle or self-respect, lie is a pliant tool
in the hands of his employers, and takes
either extreme,-as he is bidden. It is just
for this reason that we regard his recent
course as significant, and find in it some en
couragement to believe that more moderate
councils are about to prevail at Washington.
Baud has been bootlicking about Washing
ton, 'where his modesty (for “fools step in
where angels fear to tred”) did not prevent
him from becoming well posted as to the
^iews and opinions, especially of the leading
men of that wing of the Republican party
which he believes will be the winning side.
He has discovered that the more moderate and
reasonable Republicans, witij Gen. Graft,
ore opposed to further unconstitutional legis
lation in reference to reconstruction, and are
unwilling to stultify themselves by repudiat
ing mid annulling their past action, simply to
gratify a few vagabond carpet-baggers and
scalawags in Georgia, who are only si burthen
and a disgrace to their party, and for whose
services, like those of the Preedmen’s Bu
reau, they no longer have any need. Bard
did not fail to discover that carpet-bag and
scalawag loyalty was about “played out,”
that.it was becoming a political nuisance, and
that the sooner he availed himself of that
• ‘open rear” and made a decent retreat from his
extreme “loil" position, the better for his
“bread and butter.
Hence it is that we have the Baud of the Era
taking the lead in assailing .that dirty little
faction of carpet-baggers and scalawags of
which he Was lately the especial organ, who,
under the lead of Bollock and Blodgett are
endeavoring by falsehood and misrepresenta
tion to convince Congress that all their past
reconstruction measures are unavailing and
that nothing short of Congressional interven
tion and the application of the test-oath, and
negro bayonets can save the State from re
bellion, anarchy and civil war. As a speci
men of the potent' arguments of the Era
against the very measures and policy which
its editor only recently advocated, we give
the following from his issue of Thursday last :
No Test Oath Required.—If the test oath
is necessary to the proper organization ^ of a
State government, under the Congressional
S ift?, of reconstruction, no rebel State has
een reconstructed, and all the rebel States
are intruders in Congress, and if Georgia is
to be remanded, let all he served alike.
No State Legislature took the test oath.
The law did not require it. If the Legisla-
lature had been purged by the test oath, as
some demanded, under the law of Congress,
it would have been incompetent, legally, to
adopt the 14th article.
Considering the source, this logic certainly
is significant. Bard claims to be the oracle
of Gen. Grant.

House Representatives United States, )
Washinqton, December 18, 1868. j
To Vie Honorable Ju> of the Supreme Court,
Judges of the Superior Courts, Judges of
Courts of Ordinary, and Mayors of Cities in the
Stale of Georgia.
The present condition of affairs in Georgia
is being investigated before the “Joint Com
mittee on Reconstruction,” with a purpose
of adopting such action by Congress as may
seem to them necessary and proper to insure
the faithful and prompt administration of
the laws, and protection to the rights of all
classes of persons and property.
Certain parties from Georgia, and among
them her present Governor, with the avowee,
purpose of inducing Congress to destroy the
present organized government of that State,
and remand her people to military rule or to
the dictatorship of a Provisional Governor,
with the army and navy of the.TTnited States
to enforce his edicts, are representing here
the imperative necessity of a change in
the government of Georgia, on account of
lawlessness, anarchy and lack of protection
to life, liberty and property, and the r
cation and cruelty which the white people are
inflicting upon innocent negroes in that State.
It is important to the character and inter
ests of Georgia that the truth should be
known on these subjects, and as one of her
representatives in Congress I take the liberty
to ask you, as an officer of the State, to fur
nish me with a brief statement of your per
sonal knowledge of the truth or falsehood of
the representations which are being mads of
affairs in Georgia and your opinion of the ef
fect upon the interests of Georgia and the
United States of the adoption of the above
measures, whiGh are now being urged hpon
A Good Prospect.—According to the report
of the internal revenue commissioner, the ten
Southern States paid into the national treas
ury during the year ending June 30th, 1868,
over thirty-two millions and three quarters.
This is a large increase over previous years
since the war.
Supreme Court.—A Washington letter says
there are at least one hundred cases be-
fore the Court of Claims, involving in the
aggregate several millions of dollars, on ac
count of cotton alleged to have been illegal
ly seized or destroyed by United States offi
cers. The Treasury Department has em
ployed counsel especially to protect its in
terests. The Court has adjourned until after
the holidays. •
Distress Among Working People in Eng
land.—Great distress at present prevails in
the district ef Woolwich, England, inconse
quence of the recent reduction in the force of
workmen employed at the government arse-
fial and dockyard. Daring the last four
months 1,700 hands have been discharged,
and these men, with their families, represent
ing about 7,000 persons, are without any
means of support.
Demise of the Freed men’s Bureau.—The
Preedmen’s Bureau says the Washington cor
respondent of the World expects to go out
of being on the 1st with all the eclat which
attends immunity from investigation. The
request of Gen. Howard that the Senate ap
point a committee of investigation was never
taken off the table, and before the Senators
get back the bureau will be gone. It is stated
that no request will bejmade by the Commis
sioner pn the Secretary of War for an inves
tigation, though such a course is feasible, os
the concern belongs to that department.
>«•! «
Bullock’s Luckless' Mission to Washing
ton.—A Washington letter to the New York
Wttfld gives a rather discouraging account
of the carpet-bag stage driver’s mission to
Washington. The writer sayp: “His object
here was to have his State reconstructed and
himself recognized as Provisional Governor
of it The result of his visit was a multipli
cations of bills from all sides, and the Judi
ciary Committee took no notice whatever of
them or him. He was called home to coun
teract the non-interference party, which Joe
Bbown has set up in Georgia, opposed to all
further Congressional meddling.”
: —> > • i <
Adulterations.—A recent extensive exami
nation into the character of goods sold at a
large number of grocery stores in. New York
cify, discloses, besides short weight, adultera
tions of the following-character: Ground Java
coffee contained roasted bread crumbs; peas
and rye chicory, burnt sugar and soffits es
sence, Ground cinnamon was adulterated
with tapioca, ground mace with pulverized
crackers, ground cloves with apices ff all
kinds, from which the essential oil had been
extracted. Tea contained willow leaves,
genuine broken leaves agglutinated byjsome
artifice, damaged leaves and tea dust The
green tea was colored with a powder supposed
to be Prussian blue,- and the - sugar was mois
tened with water to the extent of 10 percent.
; > ■ » <
Lotal Claims of the Government wo be
Defeated.—The four hundred millions of
private claims upon the Government,' says
the Washington Express, begin to attract at
tention. If the amount is enormous, the
pressure is also heavy i
pressing. In view of all this, Mr.
starts the cry in the Senate of pa;
claims; but to drown it, on
of Congress, Mr. Freunghuysen will proppso
a joint resolution that in the opinion of Con
gress it is impracticable and unjust to pay
such claims—on the following grounds:
Because the loyalty of most of the claim
ants is hypocritical; because it would cost
more than four hundred millions to attempt
to pay one-half of them; because it pats Con
gress-on the scent as to every claimant’s .al
leged loyalty, and requires a committee of in
quiry in every township; because dm— J
inevitable from war, and those imj
business North would have as milch _
remuneration as those hurt in property South
when the war was the cause in each case; and
»& 8SWSS22; —■»
Mr. Frelinghcysen is confident of iarrv-
fog his point, • - ' J
Tax: general amnesty.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York World, writing under date of 23d inst.,
gives some interesting precedents of the am
nesty, by which it would seem that the act of
the President has the approbation of influen
tial men of both political parties in Washing
ton. The writer says: “The pressure upon
the President for him to issue a proclamation
of general amnesty is becoming greater every
day. As is known, a petition to that effect,
signed by every Democratic Congressman
and the Conservative heads of the Depart
ments, and others, has been presented.
More than this, the President is informed
that the Judges of the Supreme Court, with
out exception, and several Republican Sena
tors, among, them Terry, Henderson, Ross',
Fooler and Trumbull, are ready to advise
to the same effect. Besides the great weight
of these names, their co-operation is a suffi
cient assurance that the most eminent men
are agreed as to the power of the President
to guarantee discharge from political dis
ability under the pardoning power. ”
The same writer says urgent appeals were
being made by carpet-bag Senators, to induce
the President to issue a special proclamation
of amnesty before the 1st of January, com
prising by name all elected to offices then to
be assumed in several States, so as to give
the officials a right to qualify and draw pay.
Only one hundred and seventy-five of such
officials have been relieved of their disabili
ties by Congress, while nearly seven hundred
are still out in the cold, or else drawing pay
by allowance. The author adds:
“The pleas which such men as Rice, of Ar
kansas, and Kellogg, of Florida, pnt forth for
Presidential action, are such singular ones
as these. They gravely doubt if the four
teenth amendment he adopted at all, de
spite the legislation of Congress and their
votes and presence nnder it if adopted.
Any restriction which it puts on the magni
tude of the pardoning power is inoperate,
because it stultifies another part of the same
Constitution. Moreover, if there be doubt of
its adoption, and if the Executive will pro
claim special amnesty of Radical rebels, they
will engage that Southern-Legislatures will
rescind their act of ratification, and defy
Congress to exclude States which, once ad
mitted, are free to act os they please on
amendments yet in pendency.”
Whatever may be the effect of the Presi
dent’s amnesty, its operation is universal, and
not special, as these gentlemen desired.
European Conference on the Grecian
Question.—The latest cable advices show that
there is an effort, which will probably be suc
cessful, to ssttle the qnestions between Tur
key and Greece without bloodshed. It is
proposed to call a conference of the Great
Powers in Europe in the interests of peace.
The plan is said to have originated with Rus
sia, backed by Prussia, and that the scheme
is already favored by Austria and Italy. With
the inability of Greece to cope single-handed
with Turkey, and the sympathy 'manifested
by Great Britain, France and Austria with the
Turkish government, foe alleged persistency
of Greece in making preparations for war
was unintelligible, unless on the hypoth
esis that She relied on an insurrection of
the Greek subjects of the Sultan, which
it is indeed alleged had been secretly
encouraged by Russian emissaries. Of the
fifteen and a half million population of Eu
ropean Turkey more than ten millions are
Greeks and Armenians. A civil war in Tur
key might be a serious 'thing if efficiently sus
tained by Russia, - but the Czar is not going
to provoke the antagonism of all Europe by
’dirfectly or indirectly acting in such aimumer.

Congress:
1. Are the laws of Congress faithfully and
impartially administered 7

their duties 7
4. What is the disposition, feeling and treat
ment of the white people towards the blackB?
5. What towards Republicans 7
6. What towards Northern men visiting or
desiring to settle in Georgia ?
7. Do the people desire peace, and a res
toration of their proper relation to the States
and government of the Union 7
8. Is there, in your opinion, any necessity
or justification for the proposed destruction
of the present government of Georgia and the
establishment of a military or provisional
government?
Please answer as early as possible.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Nelson Tut.
The March Session of Congress.—Several
members and Senators, the most prominent
of whom are E. B. Washbubne and Senator
Grimes, are in favor of repealing the law pro
viding for the meeting of the Forty-first Con
gress on the 4th of March. They are of
opinion that after passing the appropriation
bills the best thing that Congress can do is.tp
adjourn. It is thought, however, that a ma
jority of both Housep are opposed to repeal
ing the law, and favor a session of about a
month of the Forty-first Congress. Nearly
all the leading committees of the House are
overcrowded with, business, some of it re
garded as important. The Military Com
mittee, for instance, has over a hundred bills
and resolutions before it. According to the
roles of the House, there will uot be time
this session to give some of the committees a
chance to report Should there be no session
of the Forty-first Congress on the 4th of
March, many of these measures now before
the committees will be forced to go over until
the regular meeting next -December. If is
said that some of them are of such a nature
that so long a delay would work injury {o the
public interests. This is used as one of the
arguments in fovor of organizing on the 4th
of March.— Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald.
Distraction of the Radical Elements—
General Grant’s Position—Reconstruc
tion In Georgia.
Washington, December 22.—Facts have
come to light here which threaten to distract
still more the Radical elements, and bring
upon the President elect Radical denuncia
tions, even before he has assumed the re
sponsibilities of tbs Executive office. A great
hue and cry in and out of Congress'followed
the action of the Georgia Legislature in ex-
al interference' was involved ter those who
have determined not to he satisfied with any
reconstruction which gives the white popula
tion of the South a chaneff to recover their
lost prosperity and happiness. This action
of the Legislature of Georgia has been seized
upon as a pretext to remand that State back
into a condition of military, despotism. Re
construction is to be reconstructed according
to the new programme, but before this is ac
complished General Grant’s opposition will
have to be met and overcome. There is good
authority for stating that the President elect
is not only opposed to foe whole proposition,
but that he fully anticipated precisely what
occurred in the Geoigia Legislature, and that
that occurrence had the sanction of the mili-
may scarcely geem creditable to the
shriekers for negro supremacy in the South,
nevertheless the fe,ctjs vouched-fo? by gen
tlemen high in authority, and who are ip ‘ po
sitions to know. They say that General
Grant not only -anticipated all that has oc
curred in the South, but that he never would
fovor or sanction any farther Congressional
meddling with the reconstructed States.
This presente-a plain, broad issue with Rad
icals upon the very threshold of the new ad
ministration, and one, too, of the greatest
magnitude. The unexpected position as
sumed by General Grant on this question of
• ‘reconstructing reconstruction” furnishes the
topic of conversation in the high official cir
cles to-night, and the Georgia delegates in
Congress are encouraged to' hope • fojjt their
State will yet be saved from the threatened
calamity of being again placed under mil
itary rule.—Correspondence of the Baltimore
Gazette, ,' . ; , ■
General Grant in a State of Siege.—
General Grant, having returned from the
military orgie at Chicago, is beset by politi
cians, who are endeavoring to extract from
him, if possible, some intimation as to the
complexion of his Cabinet It is reported
that a certain Congressman, who was particu
larly solicitous, and who has a hankering
after the position of Attorney-General, re
ports that General Grant is as silent as the
tomb on the subject of appointment to office.
■The only suggestion thrown opt by the Resi
dent elect was that “he hoped to surround
himself .with business men having the 'confi
dence of the country,"
