JLarg-est Ciycnlation in City and Conntry* SRA 05? TUB OATHi of the Atlanta bfug returned from:Washington with some new ideas on the subject of reconstruction. .'As we have before remarked, we attach no importance "to anything Bard may -write on •this or any. other^guestion involving political principles, as his declarations of to-day are 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. cinrchAR rsost Waiato receive the able iridelatigbV Kepi _ gress; of tbe Second District, the following addressed to the judical o flic era. , with a .view to elicit reliable infc 'in reference to' the condition of politi cal affairs imGeorgia, to be submitted to the Congressional Committee, who have now un- tervention am sures.against our people. Col. - Tiet tied to the thanks of not only the law abiding people of Georgia, hut also of those members of .Congress who desire to be informed.of the true condition, of affairs and the spirit which actuates the people of our State, for his prompt and well devoted efforts to elicit the truth from sources which will entitle it to the credit and consideration of all unprejudiced men. Many of the Ordinaries and judi cial officers to whom this circular is addressed, are appointees of the Republican party, hut they are in the main men of char acter, residing in our midst with opportuni ties of information whieh will enable them to give a true state of facts. To the faithful report of conscientious men, of whatever party adhesions, our people are not afraid, to trust their case before a just and impartial tribunal. We trust that no officer to whom this circu lar is addressed will foil promptly to respond: House Representatives United States, ) Washinqton, December 18, 1868. j To Vie Honorable Ju&gt 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. - r ’ Sinking of a Steamee.—The steamer Hunts man, running from Columbus to Bainbridgo, sunk-on last Tuesday night.- She had on board three hundred bales of cotton, for Sa vannah (via the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad). The cargo wns taken off by the steamer At lanta, but the.boatis a total loss, ih „ — — ' The.

HALE, Secretary, My object in this communication is to place your testimony before the Reconstruction Committee, which will meet here January 5, 1869, and subsequently, if necessary, before Congress: 1. Are the laws of Congress faithfully and impartially administered 7 2. Is there any organized or unorganized resistance to the law 7 3. Are the officers of the. law faithful to 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," Notice to City Tax Defaulters; CITY MARSHAL'S OFFICE, Savannah, December 28,1868.
