Onr friend, who isa native New E
er and a true citizen of Cleorgia, reminds
J that the South has many good and
tn ,o friends in the North, who might
construe our remarks into evidence of
ved “bitterness and malignity
Wo beg to assure our cor-
respondent that such construction of
0 ar paragraph would do us gross in
justice. We do not need to be
reminded that Georgia has no bet
ter citizens than many of those men of
New England birth, who made their
homes in the State in the days of her
prosperity, and were true and loyal to her
in the time of her peril and adversity,
nor that there are thousands of brave,
patriotic men in New England, who are
true to the principles of Constitutional
government, and just to the South. But
these good people are not the peoplo who
compose shoddy society in -Washington
under tbo reigning dynasty. Like us
rebels of the South, they are excluded
from official positions, and are not per
mitted to shine in the court circles of
Ulysses I.
And as for the cabbage and the pork
and beaus. We meant no offense to the
good people of New England by our
reference to these edibles. We only
allunded to them by way of
dieftting the nativity of the court
lady. As, if she had called for
Bauer kraut, we would have set her down
’is from the V '*fadderland;” or, if she had
asked for bacon and greens, we should
have suspected that she had been
“raised” this side of Mason ana Dixon’s
lino; though iu neither case would her
manners and taste have indicated her as
belonging to the “first circles ”
Ami, after all, what offence can our
correspondent or our New England
friends find in our allusion to cabbage
and pork and beans as a staple article of |
food in their section. Surely there is noth
ing disgraceful iu eating either, and the
people who have plenty of both in these
times have cause to be thankful. We do
not take much to cabbage in any shape,
but with a good appetite wo were never
yet afraid to encounter a dish of pork
and beans, such as they kuow so well
how to serve in Yankee-lnnd. On the
contrary, we have pleasant recollections
of pork and beans, and, however much we
may disagree on some matters with our
New England friends, we arc at one with
them on pork and beans.

They fell not into the trap of the usur
per. While they calmly and fearlessly
asserted and maintained the rights and
dignity of their State, without compro
mise or dishonor.they yielded to the brute
force of their Federal oppressors, which
they were powerless to successfully op
pose. In that act they overwhelmed the
tyrant and his myrmidons with defeat,
and gave tho death blow to the vilest and
most corrupt faction that ever disgraced
this or any other nation. Ia proof of our
position we need only refer to the dis
patches in our telegraphic column, which
bring us tidings of the widespread and
universal revulsion of public feeling,
which finds vehement expression in the
stirring debates in Congress, in the
indignant comments of the Republi
can journals of the North, East and
West, and in the calls for public meet-
ings, without distinction of party, in the
great cities of the North to denounce and
repudiate tho action of the government
and its military myrmidons in New Or
leans.
The Louisiana coup detat is worth to
the friends of peace, order and consti-
tional government more than all the
Democratic victories of last fall, for its
failure settles tho third term, and assures
the overthrow of Radicalism beyond the
possibility of a doubt. Neither Grant
nor the Republican party can extricate
themselves from tho hopeless dilemma iu
which his rashness and vaulting ambi
tion has involved them. He cannot justify
his flagrant usurpation and tyrauy under
the constitution which he has so grossly
violated, and iu its vain attempt to up
hold him in his wrong doing, the party
must share his overthrow and infamy.
The New York Sun states a most hu
miliating truth when it says this country
is making tremendous strides in the arts
of lying and perjury. It used to be
thought that if a man of ordinary respec
tability took a solemn oath to his iuno-
- cence of any charge against him, it went
excult v bim in tho public esti
mation! d no longer,
stupendous lying and false swearing in
high places within tho last few years,
proved in many cases aud presumed to a
moral certainty in others, have shaken
everybody's faith iu the integrity of a
large class of our public men. It seems
to have become the rule that where
]yAg wifi exonerate or accomplish any
thing toward exoneration, lying is re
sorted to. The fear of discovery aud the
penalties of perjury no longer deter; for
temporary exculpation is placed abovd
every other need, even that of truth or a
clear conscience.
Seward's Legacy.--Alaska cost $7,000,
000. It is a useless purchase, aud will
require more money to govern it than it
can be made to return. Bleak, wet, in
hospitable and hyperborean, it offers no
home for Americans. Now it is talked of
as a probable retreat for Icelanders who
have become weary of their volcanic
island. Mr. Elliott, who has just made a
special examination of this Yegiou, says
there are more acres of better land now
lying a wilderness and jungle in sight of
the car windows of the Pennsylvania
Railroad while crossing the Alieghanies
than can be found m all Alaska. The
chief crop now is of seal skins, from
which the government derives a small
income.
The Pacific Mail Subsidy Fraud.
A Washington special to the New York
Post says: “Members of the Ways and
Means Committee are advised that a
female lobbyist here handled some of the
money placed in Irwin’s hands by the
Pacific Mail Company, and that through
her exertions five Democratic members of
Congress—ore of them from Kentucky—
were enlisted to help secure the passage
of the subsidj T bill. It now seems certain
that the me ey will be traced to the
pockets of both Democratic aud Repub
lican members of Congress.”
It is to be hoped that, this villainous
subsidy swindle may be probed to the
bottom, and the name of every member
of Congress included in it given to the
public. Tho disclosures already made
are only additional proofs—if such proofs
were needed—showing that the govern
ment of the United States is to-day the
most corrupt government on the face of
the earth. It would be safe to assert that
of the hundreds of millions of dollars
annually extorted from tho tax-payers of
the country’ one-half goes into the pock
ets of corrupt government officials, mem
bers of Congress, swindling corporations
and lobby pimps aud prostitutes.
Retrenchment in the Civil Service.
A circular letter to the postmasters at
the principal cities and towns has been
prepared, and will be issued at once, in
which tho Postmaster General states that
the increasing deficiency in the Post Of
fice Department has assumed such pro
portions that strict and rigid efforts mujb
be made to reduce expenses. He invites
the views of Postmasters as to advisable
charges, and requests that they be for
warded immediately, as the special agents
are to be sent out iorthwith.

There was fun in Boston New Y’ear’s
day. An immense tea kettle had been for
some davs hanging l>y a tea store, and
the public were invited to register esti
mates of its capacity. Nearly l.”.,0<)0 such
estimates were made, varying from 10 to
3,000 gallons. At length the time came
to fill it, aud thousands came to see it
done. When the cover was lifted a boy-
crawled out, nnd then another, and
another, eight in nil, and finally a six
footer. Then water was put in, five gal
lons at a time, until 22.1 gallons were a 1 -
sorbed, when smaller measures were used,
aud the exact capacity of the kettle was
found to be 227 gallons, 2 quarts, 1 pint
and 3 gills. It is a remarkable fact that
8 persons, without collusion, came within

There is an urgent demand for troops
in the Indian Territory. Dispatches rep
resent the women and children are fleeing
for their lives. Of course Grant has no
soldiers to spare for this purpose, but
when a carpet-bag Governor demands
two or three regiments, to intimidate and
barrass the Southern whites, they are not
lacking.
Well Grant has no brother-in-law in
tho Indian Territory to protect and pro
mote to tbe United States Senate. Be

Altogether, Dr. Howe is about the moat
intelligent writer on tho sanitary advan
tages of the South that we have yet seen.
While extolling the winter climate of
Georgia aud Florida, he also explodes the
old “malaria" humbug, aud conclusively
shows that neither Georgia nor Florida
are as fatally fever-haunted, even iu the
direst depths of summer, as the Northern
States. Take remittent fever, for ex
ample. In the Northern States one case
in every fifty-four is fatal, iu the central
section one in thirty-eight, in Texas one
in seventy-five, aud in Georgia aud Florida

G. W. Carleton & Co., of New York,
send us “A Terrible Secret,” by May
Agnes Fleming. This is a very highly-
wrought (not to say gorgeous) story,
though towards the cud one has a gloomy
suspicion that all the people iu the book
are squeaking idiots. Tho terrible secret
isn’t shell a terrible one after all. An
English nobleman married a soap-boiler’s
daughter, carries her home,gets jealous of
her, and one morning she is found dead.
Then miiord dresses himself for the lu
natic asylum. The murdered woman
leaves a sou, who grows up, marries an
American girl, is sent for by his father at
the last moment and the secret imparted
to him—which is to the effect that his
father hud murdered his mother. The
son then deserts his wifo for fear that he
may have inherited the same desire; aud
so on aud so forth, until the story ends in
a blaze of rhetorical btfngal lights.
From Messrs. J. B. Lippincott Co.,
of Philadelphia, we have George Mac
Donald’s latest work, “Malcolm; a Ro
mance.” The writings of this fresh-
hearted Scotoh-English clergyman are so
favorably familiar to all readers of taste
that we need do no more than give the
title of the book to create a demand for
it. “Malcolm” is a worth}* successor of
“Robert Falconer” and “Alec Forbes,”
and is characterized by that breezy vigor,
healthy tone and poetical insight into
nature and human nature that have con
spired to render Mr. MacDonald’s works
so popular. It is a book with a purpose,
and the purpose is not too apparent to
render it commonplace. In short, it is a
fresh, wholesome volume—uud that is
something, is it not?
Carleton, of New York, sends us
“Through Thick aud Thin,” translated
from the French of Joseph Mery. This
ought to be criticism enough, but this
particular story is more pleasantly told
than usual, and it is a little out of the old
line of French novels. The translator
has managed to retain the sparkling wit
and epigrammatic smartness of the origi
nal, and the result is wo have a very in
teresting volume.
From Messrs. Estes & Lauriat, of Bos
ton, we have a couple of volumes
of fiction—“Too Much Alone,” by
Mrs. J. H. Riddell, aud “Checkmate,”
by J. S. Le Fanu. These are reprints
from the English editions, aud are repre
sentatives of the average society novel.
The books noticed in the foregoing may
be obtained at the store of Messrs. John

THE .SENATORIAL DEAD LOCK.
The dead lock in the Senate continues,
and there was no election of President pro
tern, to-Jay. There were several ballots takeD,
but both sides stand about iu the same rela
tion they did yesterday. It is impossible to
say how long this thing is to last, albeit
VARIOUS REMEDIES
are suggested. For instance. Senator
McCaskill, Conservative, to-day gave notice
tli&t he would move to-moirow to rescind
the rule requiring a majority of the whole
Senate to elect a President. The motiou
canuot be carried, however, unless some
Republican Senator consents.
THE SPEAKERSHIP SETTLED.
The question of tho Speakership of the
Assembly was very satisfactorily Fettled to
day on tho first ballot. Wheu the Assembly
met, Hick•*, Independent, from Dade county,
made a short speech counselliig: Larmony,
and wound up by nominating Thomas
Hannah, Conservative, from Washington
county, for Speaker. Tho ballot followed,
and Hannah received thirty votes; Mont
gomery, Radical, nineteen, aud two scat
tering.
WHO HANNAH IS.
Hannah is a fair man and a true Consei"
vative, and will make an impartial prt siding
officer. lie was elected to the State Senate
from Washington and Holmes counties in
1808, but, in common with many other Dem
ocrats, was couuted out by tho carpet-bag
gers and his seat given to a scalawag named
Vaogliti.
Hannah’s supporter?.
All the independents voted for nannab,
as well as the three Radical members from
Leon county, who were elected >m the Wal
lace ticket. He was supper cd by the inde
pendents on account of his liberal views.
Although Hannah is a decided Conserva
tive he, together with two or three other
Conservative members of the Legislature,
voted in 1872 for a sort of civil rights bill,
giving tho colored people equal privileges,
and this fact commended him to the colored
R< publicans.
THE SENATE.
The Senate will probably organize in a
day or two. No Republican can be elected
President, and some of that party will ha\e
to vote for a Conservative, or ihere will be
no organization. Both Houses adjourned
till to-morrow.
UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The United States and Spain.—A
Washington special to the Baltimore Sun
says: The general impression in diplo
matic circles here is that the recent
change in the Government of Spain will
have the effect to strengthen materially
its authority in Cuba. It is well under
stood that there never has been auy af
fection for the republic umong the influ
ential classes iu the island; and that since
the downfall of the monarchy there has
been less disposition shown to contribute
means to put down the insurrection.
The re-establish men t of the monarchy
was hailed in Havana with more mani
festations of satisfaction aud delight
even than in Madrid. Cubans and oth
ers here aud in New York, who are favor
able to the insurrection, profess, how
ever, to derive some comfort from the
present condition of affairs. They say
that the United States Government need
no longer be restrained from pressing its
claim for indemnity on account of the
yirginius massacre for fear of embarrass
ing a young and struggling republic. As
we will now have the monarchy again

STIRRING ADDRESS TO TIIE PEOPLE
OF NEW YORK.
DO WE LIVE IN A REPUBLIC ?
Are propensities to crime hereditary ?
The report of Dr. Karris, of the Charities
Aid Association, seems to prove such to
be the case. He has traced the history
of a girl thrown upon tho world seventy
3*ears ago. She has had nine hundred
descendants. The records of the country
in which she lived show that two hun
dred of these have been criminals. One
branch of the family numbered seven
teen children who reached maturity. Of
these, nine served sentences in the State
prison, and all the others were at different
times, inmates of the county jail or alms
house. In addition to the two hundred
of her posterity who were declared crimi
nals, many others were vagrants, lunatics
and disreputable characters. Much of
this evil is doubtless traceable to poverty,
but the? exhibit is a startling one, aud we
fear not always exceptionaL

The Lumbkb Trade.—Next in import
ance to the iron interest of the country
oomes the lumber trade. It is stated in
a memorial recently presented to Con
gress by the lumber dealers of the United
States that the sum of $144,0(H).000 is
invested in this industry, with an annual
production of £210,000,000, affording
employment to 200,000 men. Pennsyl
vania ranks first, with an annual produc
tion of $28,938,985. New Y’ork stands
second, producing timber to the amount
of $21,238,228, giving employment to
15,409 men. The amount of pine and
hemlock timber yet standing in the
forests of the timber States is estimated
at 225,000,000,000 feet. Besides this.
Canada and California have each 100,-
000,000 feet, thus nearly doubling the
aggregate total of timber on the North
American continent.

Washington, December 7.—In the Senato,
tho working men of Pennsylvania aek a sub
sidy for the Texas Pacific Railroad.
Mr. Sherman opposes any appropriation!*
f«>r public buildings in tho present state of
the finances.
Senators Gordon and Edmunds made some
personal remarks of a conciliatory character.
The Louisiana case was resumed.
Mr. Hamilton, of Maryland, said the
Senator from Wisconsin (Howe) had asked
“What are you going to do if tiie President
don’t answer the resolution? ID* did not
belidve that the President would decline to
answer; but what will we do if ho don’t givo
the reasons for his actiou ? The army does
p -t belong to the President nor to the Gov
ernor of any State, but it belongs to the
peoplo—and as the reprsentatives of tbo
people—il the PresidetK uses the army f. f
improper purposes—if lie use- it against th*
-liberties of the people—we can stop his suit-
plies, we can strip him of every soldier, wo
can leave him without a vessel. That is a
r• medy which we have against a despotic
Executive, and our duty to the people might
be such as to compel us to use it.
Mr, Logan said that in his opinion there
lud been rucli frauds that neither Kellogg
nor McEuery were elected. He then r* -

turning the State government.
Mr. Hamilton—Why, there was no State
government to overthrow, and the Honoi-
*b!o Senator has so reported. (Laughter
on the floor and applause in the galleries.)
Mr. Sargent, of California, gave notice
that in case of further applause, ho would
move that the galleries be cleared.
Mr. Logan said that so far as ho was con
cerned he did not mind the applause in the
galleries. It was the same lie had heard
ysars ago in the infancy of the rebellion.
Mr. Hamilton, resuming his argument,
said as to the causes of tho late war he would
t»!iy nothing, but he would say to the Sena
tor from 1’iiiuois (Logan) tuat American
freedom wq,s born iu revolution aud rebel
lion, and the sympathies of the American
peoplo were alarays with those who rose
against oppression and tyranny. (Great
applause and hisses iu the gallery ou the
rght of the Chair.)
air. Sargent moved that the gallories bo
e’eared. Agretd to.
Mr. Coukiiug appealed to the Senator from
California (Mr. Sargent) to so modify his
motion as to aim at those portions of the
galleries where repeated disrespect had been
shown. So lar us these persons, whom he
heard by their predecessors in I860 and 1861,
were concerned, ho kuow they were prac
ticing their indignity upon the rights c f the
Senate, and he had no objection to iuterposo
against turning them out of the gallery.
Mr. Tipton, of Nebraska, said he only
wanted to finish the speech commenced by
the Beuator from New York when he (Mr.
Conkling) intimated that all this applause
came from persons who sympathized with
the gontleman from Maryland. He (Mr.
Tipton) wished to remmd Lnm that much of
tho applause uf yesterday was from thoso
who sympathized with the party to which
the gentleman (Mr. Conkling) belonged.
Mr. Conkling said : Yes, and time after
time when the applause occurred tho chair
had admonished the galleries to be quiet. A
few moments ago. when his friend behind
him (Logan) made Homo remark, there was
applause iu the galleries, ami it was then
that the chair flrst admonished tho gallories
to-day. Applause hadi>eforc b*cn bestowed
upon the gentleman from ludiana, but no
admonitiou was given. Then it did not con
cern him (Conkling) as he bad not received
tte applause, but it did concern the decency
and Order of the 8euate. The sp3ctators
should not be allowed to thunder as if they
.Were ju a llipatre or a circus.
* There was thep a long discussion about
the police of the Senate, without action.
Mr. Hamilton, in coudusion, urged that
peace be given to Louisiana by allowiug the
people of that State to rule over their own
affairs, and once more there would be peace
throughout the laud. Bayard has the floor.

New York, January 7.—The Evening Post
says: “The people are inclined to he in
dulgent in their treatment of Lieutenant
General Sheridan, who comes to tiie front as
tho latest leader of the Republican party,
bearing the pronuuciameuto of this freshest
development ot the fKtaco policy on the
point of his sword. He has never protended
t<» be anything but a soldier, and a rough
one at that. When there are no great cam
paigns to he made his fancy naturally turns
to Indian warfare, aud it is, therefore, not
surprising that, finding himself under or
ders iu Louisiana, he believes that he is
there to fight Piegans or Modocs. It is true
that if he had added to tho military
virtues something of tho broader
culture which has heretofore made
great captains eminent iu civil life
vvithonf dimming their military renown,
he would never have proposed that iu a
purely political struggle citizens of a free
Stated—citizens representing a majority »#f
the people of that State—should be out
lawed as banditti aud brought to the sum-
mar v judgment of the drumhead with short
shrift and a volley of musketry. In tho
whole record of political crimes and political
blunders oommittod by the Republican
party, there is nothing which surpasses in
blundering criminality yesterday’s proceed
ings of the Senato and House or Represen
tatives. In the Senate a resolution was
offered calling upon the President for in
formation; instead »»f allowing it to pass tho
Republican Senators opposed it on a
wretched quibble, but opposed it in such
a wav that they forced themselves
and tho Republican party into the
position of defending tho Louisiana wrong,
defending tho action of the President an i
Lieutenant General, and adopting the drum
head banditti policy. Of course there will
b« scarcely a dissenting voice m the popular
verdict rendered upon tho situation thus
*j'parent to the couutry. After yesterday's
proceedings it seems vain to hope f >r any
good thing from tho l oriy-thirn Congress,
except its final adjournment. But that ad
journment brings up a very serious ques
tion. We have heretofore urged an eaily
meeting of the Forty-fourth Co ogress ou
the ground of the necessity of actum upon
financial questions and other matters a fleet
ing the business interests of the country.
The graver mqu'ry now presents itself
whether it is prudent to leave the Federal
Government during the interval front March
t» December in the hinds of its Executive
branch—whether the liberties of thecountiy
are safe in the absence of Congress—-so long
as important political coucorns are turned
over to a military officer who disposes of
tbern as if he wero fighting Piegun*. It is
hardly too much to say that the Republican
party will fiud it impossible to rally from tho
effects of this staggering blow received m
the house of its friends.

still forbear and your rights will be vindicated

York, January 7.—Ferd F. Dufais,
broker, notified toe Exchange o-day
inability to meekbia eafifonenta.
The witnesses before the Congressional
Committee cow investigating the Vicks
burg troubles are being closely questioned
about the “color line.” In CoL Horace
Miller’s examination he said, that “in
every election for a series of years the
negroes were voted in almost solid mass
and often carried to the polls in military
array, under leaders, where they remained
until the whole column had voted, the
leaders handing them their tickets, or
else depositing the ballots for them.”
Throughout the South the truth of this
statement will be recoguized. For the
evils springing from dividing political
parties m the South ou the basis of color
the Radicals are directly responsible. As
soon as the blacks became voters they
were taken in charge by the carpet-bag
gers and massed at the polls, as C<
Miller describes. They voted the tickets
furnished by their white leaders, without
knowing what these tickets contained.
It was not to be expected that they could
do otherwise, yet this does not mitigate
the evil of thus arraying class against
class. The formation of a black party
natnrally produced a white party.

The State Legislatures. —Now
about to set in the annual busy season in
law-making, with Congress and the Leg
islatures of thirty States in session, viz:
Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louis
iana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan.
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York
North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania
Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia,
and Wisconsin. As some of these are
second aud others special sessions of Leg
islatures, it has rarely occurred that so
many have been simultaneously at work.
The politics of these thirty Legislatures
are: 1G Democratic, 12 Republican,
(Illinois) controlled by an Independent
balance of power, and 1 ( Louisiana) by
Federal bayonets. The list includes all
the States but seven, whose Legislatures
do not meet this winter, viz: California,
Connecticut, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland,
New Hampshire, and Oregon.
Bayonets in the State House.
The farce of State government in
Louisiana received another illustration
yesterday. Practically, we have no gov
ernment, legal or illegal, and have not
had for tbo past two years. What is the
use of this show of respect for State
rights ? The rule is that of musket and
sword aud central authority, and every,
body knows it. Proclamations by the
President aud appeals for assistance by
Governor Kellogg are formalities which
do not cloak the real nature of the busi
ness. It is the argument of Cromwell to
Parliament, and of the first Consul of
France to the Directory of the Corps
Legislatif.
There is no pretence in this case of
riot, or of an insurrection. It is a seizure
of the State House by United States
troops in a time of peace, a dissolution
of the Assembly and a forcible expulsion
of members. Informality in the organiza
tion of Legislatures in Louisiana is not
so strange or new a thing as to be set
down as treason and rebellion. For the
alleged irregularities there are the same
remedies for Republicans that Conserva
tives have heretofore been obliged to con
tent themselves with. Republican can
didates, who, if asked if they were really
elected, would smile at the innocence of
such a query, have again and again been
seated over the elected members, and yet
we have never heard that assigned as a
cause of Federal interference on behalf of
Democrats. If we are not much mis
taken the country will declare that in the
proceedings of yesterday the national ad
ministration crossed to the hither side of
Rubicon, and now stands fully and irre
trievably committed to centralization.—
