Georgia In Ctmgresn ami (ho Deviltry of the
Radical*.
Several propositiona are prndinR before C'nn-
f'rosR with a viow to IWliralizo Cleor^ia —the
moat, prominent nnn being what is known as the
Edmunds’ bill. This bill repeals the act of Con
gress admitting the Stato to representation, re
seats the negroes expelled from our Legislature
iyul gives us a further taste of military govern
ment - continuing the present State government
provisional only during the pleasure of Congress.
The bill also declares all persons obnoxious to
the 11th Amendment disqualified from holding
o 111-50. It makes it the duty of the President to
supply surh land aud naval forces as may be nec
essary to enforce the net.
Perhaps Rufus 11. Bullock will have control of
the military forces sent here, and it may he ho
will inaugurate a reign of t error such as now ex
ists in Arkansas under the devilish reign of one
Clayton, the so-called Governor of that State.
Bullock is a fit tool for the Radicals of Congress.
Without experience or principle as a public man,
with no sympathy for the real people of Georgia,
ho will bo glad to have such power placed in his
hands. Should Congress carry out the ruinous
policy of reconstructing Georgia over, on any of
the various plans proposed, there will be trouble
in our Slate, and wo. dread the consequences.
For an explanation of our fears, it is only nec
essary to refer to the blood and carnage now in
progress in Arkansas - the people leaving their
homes, fleeing before the march of Clayton’s
negro militia, who are laying waste and desola
tion wherever they go, committing robbery, rape
and spreading devastation and death in their
route.
The success of the plan of reconstruction en
forced upon us by Congress, just completed, and
sanctioned by a majority of the American peo
ple, as expressed by the election of Gen.
Grant to the Presidency, and the peaeable ac
quiescence of all classes in the south to the new
ordor of things un forced upon us, ought to be sat
isfactory to all reasonable men. But we are in
formed that members of Congress as an excuse
for supporting such measures, say that the life,
liberty aud property of the negroes aud white Re
publicans are not protected among us. There
never was a baser falsehood. Georgia having
been restored to the Union according to thofnn-
cy of the Republican party, the people of the
State have quietly lc‘t off politics, ceased to com
plain of their treatment by Congress, and have
gone to work in e;truest in an honorable effort
to rebuild their fortunes and regain their pros
perity aud happiness. The whites and the
negroes, so recently and bitterly at enmity, po
litically. have ceased to regard each other ex
cept as friends —forming fair and equitable la
bor contracts for the ensuing year all hoping
lor peaceful t imes, free from political strife, and
a rich return a- harvest, for the labors and cap
ital expended. But remand the State back to
military rule, re-open old issues already settled,
and again raise the political storm, and what
will be the result
wisdom to see the impolicy of such legislation ?
Will that body seek to disorganize government,
and unsettle
ruin when peace, good order and com in]
perity are the encouraging signs of the times
for more party purposes ? There is no ex
cuse for the proposed legislation by Congress
except to place men in ollice and power at the
sacrifice of the happiness and welfare of all classes
and conditions of our people, by sweeping dis
franchisement of our leading cit izens. Such leg
islation is conceived in hell and brought forth
by devils ! It is the legitimate offspring of hate
and revenge. The very demons of hell could
not feel a more bitter and relentless revenge for
poor fallen man th in do these Red Republicans
in Congress feel for the people of the South !
What is the sin of Georgia ? The answer is
given in her vote for President. To wreak their
.revenge ujjou our people for so voting, those
howling demons in Congress, like demons in
hel'l, would scatter brimstone over our laud and
consume us with fire if they could not torment
us in a milder way. Unlike brave men, who
cease to punish when they have gained the pow
er to do so at will, these miscreants in human
fbrm, shapen in iniquity, desecrating the temples
of God, dedicated to His service and worship,
and even while the shekinuh of His glory daz
zles upon the altars of his sanctuaries, and with
solemn mockery they have an eye of pretended
faith upon His mercy, and with oppressive hate
towards the South in their bosoms, these Phar
isaical liypocyitcs, bless God with their lips and
■curse us in their henrts ! Ti c despise them ! and
like Hamilear of old, we will gather our children
around the sacred altars of our beloved South,
and swear eternal hostility to their foul domina
tion! May the curse of God rest upon their in
fernal memories!—praising Him and serving the
devil as they do.
But a word more to Georgians. Come what
may, let us be true to ourselves and to Constitu
tional liberty; true to our children aud to the
memories of the past, true to God and our coun
try by being true to principle. Let not the glare
of the noonday sun shine upon one act of ours
looking to a violation of a single principle of
our honor. True to principle we are true to God;
and being tme to Him wo are true to ourselves !
•rile New Year and New Hopes.
To-day wo salute our readers and the publio
with the compliments of tho season, wishing
them happiness and prosperity for the next
twelve months. We shall attempt no learned
disquisition on this occasion. Wo only propose
to jot down a few common sense ideas, inSour
own slide*way, with tho hopo of inspiring some
one to renewed energy in tho great battle of life,
and new hope iu tho unknown dostinyj before
us. Wo speak to Georgians particularly, and to
tho Southern people generally.
Borne down for tho past three years by a po
litical tyranny and a sectional hatred unprece
dented in the annals of history; by a ferocity of
feeling on tho part of a majority of Northern
people which they feel for no other people on
the globe; our patience tested as no other peo
ple’s were ever tested; having quietly borne in
sult added to insult for the sake of peace; our
reputation traduced and slandered iu the eyes of
the whole world; our conscience fettered and
cramped by the thumb-arrow of military despo
tism; our lives, in many instances, in jeopardy
before irresponsible and unprincipled drumhead
courts; our citizens thrown into prison and re
fused trial by jury or to be made acquainted with
the charges preferred against them: these and
many other indignities have been heaped upon
us which have fully tested our powers of endur
ance, and which few people would have peace
fully submitted to. All II,is for the sake of peace!
Against all this tyranny, tho great majority of
our people have stood out firmly and manfully,
stocially, and yet heroically, and refused to mv-
seiider the principles of honest men to the die
turn of their oppressor. They have hoped for
better and more peaceful times, never yioldinj
to despair, novor flinching in tho vindication of
their honor when opportunity has been present
ed. For this manliness the coming and impar
tial historian will give ns credit, and future poets
will sing our praise in heroic, verse. Southern
chivalry, Southern honor and Southern endur
ance will become tho themo of fritmo hards.
But, for tho sterner duties of civic life, we
trust the now year will open tous brighter hopes
that shall inspire our hearts to renewed energy
—unfold to us richer treasures and greater
nown in tho strides of progress aud enterprise;
that we may fully realize that the sword has as
sumed the shape nnd utility of the ploughshare;
that we are ascending tho pearly road to pros
perity, at the end of which, nnd along by the
wayside, brightly shines the light of happiness.
Then, let us take courage, and, resolute in pur
pose, grapple manfully with stern fate; and, by
energy and enterprise wrestle for the master
over our misfortunes. In our present impovci
ishe<l condition, wo have no time to stop by the
wayside to weave garlands of flowers for our
brn
of ]
rib
of our
to engage in
revelry and riotous living. If wc havo an hon
orable destiny as a people, it must bo onward to
the front, where “fortune favors the brave;'
where coronets are placed on the brow of th<
faithful, true and honest: where golden gates
swing open on hinges of pearl for the admission
of those who heroically struggle for the brightly
shining diamonds which are awarded to all who
act well their part in the whirling, baistorous
drama ot life. Thus, with hope, trusting in
God, and in tho strength of our own arms
He gives us strength, we may reach the goal of
Has not Congress sufficient | our proudest ambition as a people.
It being the manifest determinate
*oplc to take advantage of all tho modern ap-
ty, and introduce anarchy and j pliauees of progress in their agricultural pur
suits, as far as they have moans to do so, it is n
source of new and brighter hope for our ma
terial advancement—the successful tilling of tho
soil being the basis of all prosperity union;
people. When agriculture thrives, and thro
her rich treasures into the lap of commerce, i
people, of all classes, prosper in equal propor
tion. Such advancement throws over the land
its mellow halo of cheer nnd contentment—giv«
impetus to commerce, trade and general pros
perity, and these give power to a people, nnd
power gives independence and renown.
Therefore, in the beginning of the new year,
let new and fresh hopes cheer up our spirits nnd
energise our enterprise. Cease to mourn for
that which is lost and forever beyond our grasp.
Let us gather around us the resources we have
and make such disposition of them ns will best
conduce to our prosperity. Discard every thing
like unnecessary expenditure of money. Apply
our means to those purposes in business as will
best subservo our pecuniary advancement, and
the time will speedily come when we may recline
in comparative ease upon the fruits of our in
dustry and toil.
There arc brighter hopes for us iu tho future
than wc may suppose. The gloom of poverty
may hang like a mist beforo our eyes and ob
scure that future for tho present; but, manly
courage and honest industry will vanish the
gloom as the fog of early mom disappears before
the dazzling rays of the morning sun, and pre
sent to us the blue etherial sky of happiness aud
prosperity.
Complimentary from a Subscriber.
Now and then, and we may say frequently, we
.receive words of encouragement from our pa-
irons which go a good way to inspire us with
-energy and enterprise in the conduct of the Re-
pobtkb. For the following oomplimeut from a
•subscriber at Grantville, Coweta county, we feel
much obliged. Th« writer says:
-“I .see a cross mark on my last Reporter.—
Don’t erase iuy name from your books, or you
and I will have a fuss. *1 expect to take the Re-
jobtui as long as I can raise three dollars, and
it ymrsnea the course it has been doing. I ad
mire the appearance of the paper, but much
more tho principles upon which it is conducted.
I love an independent man that ain’t afraid to
advocate the right and expose tho wrong. I wifi
never acknowledge that my principles are wrong
because I am defeated.
* will find enclosed three dolllarr for your
highly esteemed paper. Send it along two or
ihree times a week. I take other papers, but
.always read the Reporter first.”
Tim above is only a sample of tho many
words-©f commendation we receive from patrons,
both personally aud by letter. We are much
inclined to publish all such letters in the future,
and perhaps we will.
Will the friends of the Reporter bestir them
selves in its behalf? We intend to make it one
of the best weeklies in tho South, us it is one of
the handsomest. With the beginning of the
new yeaT, let our subscription list be largely in
creased. Let all who desire to see a live paper
published, exposing wrong and defending right,
endeavor to induce their neighors to take the
Reporter.
Gome, friends, begin to work for us aud we’ll
work for you.

The National Republican.
Hr. E. II. Pnglio, the proprietor of this paper,
announces that the Augusta Daily Press will bo
resumed, to supercede tho Republican, to be
tinned as an independent news, commercial and
agricultural journal, and to be published ami
conducted by that old yeteran of Georgia jour
nalism, Col. C. R. Hanleiteb, whose reputation
as a printer, editor and journalist is second to
no man in this State.
Thus we see Radicalism in the last convulsive
throes of death as a party in Georgia in the fitij-
peusion of its organs, the sentiments of which
are so repulsive to decency and goods morals in
the South as to make them too odious to be sup
ported by the intelligence of this section. The
Republicanwas vehemently vituperative. It was
a detamer of the people of Georgia in its sup
port of Radicalism. It was unscrupulous in its
conduct. It had its life and being by the sup
port of corruption and fraud in upholding mili
tary depotism over our people. When that sup
port failed by the overwhelming defeat of its
party in the Presidential election, it was vigor
ously attacked by the Kn-Klux disorder, and
has finally died with that disease upon tho brniu.
We have seen evidences of its spasmodic vitality
for several weeks. Its death is a sad aud sol
emn warning to tho living —its tomb a monu
ment of a decent people’s disgust and contempt,
its shaft pointing heavenward whero it has
neither home or hope.
With open arms and a joyful heart, we wel
come Colonel Hauleiter’s return to journalism,
ft profession he has adorned as few men have ir
Georgia. It is truly his legitimate profession in
life. Trained from early boyhood in all the du
ties of a printing office—ascending, by regular
gradation, from “ printer’s devil” to the edito
rial tripod —no one knows or understands better
the duties and requirements of the profession,
or is more capable of catering for the cultivated,
intellectual tastes of an exacting public with
success and honor to himself or the journal over
which he will preside. A Georgian by birth,
interests and all the associations of a long and
useful life, every aspiration of his heart, every
instinct of his nature, every impulse of his soul,
areiu perfect unity and accord with the true
and honored people of his State.
When we say that we receive him back into
the editorial Ibid with open arms aud joyful
heart, we but feebly express our sincere pleasure
at bis return. Under his able and judicious
management we wish the Augusta Daily Press
a career of usefulness and prosperity.
Colonel Carey W. Styles announces in
the Albany Nrics that he will, to-<iay, ussume the
frill control of that paper. We are glad to
com9 his return to editorial duty.
The President’s Amnesty Proclamation,—
President Johnson issued a proclamation on
Christmas day, pardoning all persons connected
with tho so-called rebellion, including Hon.
Jefferson Davis and all others in high position
in tho Confederate government. It is a good
deed which ought to have been performed manv
days ago. Tho pretended prosecution of Mr.
Davis, when it wus known that ho could not, bo
convicted of treason, woh an unnecessary ex
pense to tho General Government which might
have been avoided but for Radical hatred and
revenge. M e are glad to see that tho course of
1 resident Johnson in this matter is approved by
moderate men of all parties.
It is stated Mr. Davis urges the surrender of
hiinRolf again to imprisonment, when the habeas
corpus will bring him before the Supreme Court,
" hereby the potency of the President’s amnesty
proclamation will bo frilly tested; and it is also
stated Hint Mason, Slidell, Benjamin, and Breck
inridge all inquire regarding tho exact protec
tion which the amnesty affords.
Brother Clihby’s IIomu.t.—We have read,
with interest, the homily of Bro. Clisby, of tho
Macon Telegraph, in rogard to the amenities of
the press. Oiu* good friend feels very bad over
the bitterness and personalities of tho editorial
fraternity, and thinks they ought to reform.—
His serious sermon made us feel as it wc wore
“in mooting.” We felt guilty. Bro. Clisby—
pshaw! tho Telegraph, wo mean—is a very good,
sober paper, and desires to moralize corrupt
men into honest practices. Suppose he—it, we
mean try moral suasion on such men as Brown,
Blodgett, and men of their Rtripo,
^ ell, wo shall adopt the Telegraph's way when
we aro iu a mood for it ; but, when a real bad
case comes up, we shall tty what virtuo the.ro is
in our own way.
Wo’vo boon connected with the press for twen
ty years, and we beliovo the editorial gang are
no more bitter and personal now than when we
began.
A Deserved Compliment.—The employees of
the publishing houRO of J. W. Burke A Co. pre
sented the senior of that firm with a handsome
gold watch aud chain the other day. In the
course of his remarks accepting tho gift, Mr.
Burke said:
‘•lam proud of this occasion. I have occu
pied every position iu a printing office, from a
printer’s devil to ray present station. I was al
ways proud to be recognized as a printer. The
punting business is the most elevated of all the
branches of trade. It is justly styled tho 'art pre
servative of all arts.’ ”
There isn't a cleverer gentleman this siilo of
Kiimskatka than John IV. Burke is and alwavf
lias been, and this compliment is well deserved.
for,, Tift's Circular.—.Special attention is
directed to the circular of Col. Tift, Represen
tative in Congress from the 2nd District. It is
imped that, those to whom it is addressed, will
respond to the request of the writer. Every
man who feels an interest in the welfare of the
State, nnd who ran get evidence of the orderly,
law-abiding disposition of our people, ought to
respond to this circular, not so much as a de
fense of our citizens, hut to give the lie direct to
tho infamous charges lodged in Congress to the
detriment of onr interests. Will the officers of
Troup tud surrounding counties make tho re-
sponse necessary in behalf of our people?
The Era is now the only Republican pi
per published in Georgia, except it may lie a
little 8x 1ft sheet in Macon of which mention is
seldom, ii ever, made. The few there were have
caved in before popular detestation. The Em is
beginning to show evident signs of repentance
nnd dares to oppose the designs of the Radical
party in Congress. Come, Dr. Bard, we’re
looking for your reformation with a yearning
soul. Come, Doctor, to the side of your own
rnco m tho South, and on tho side of the op.
pressed against the mighty tyrants at Washing
ton City. “ If you’re a coming, why don’t you
come along V"
Gen. Grant on Georgia.—Tho Macon Tele-
graph says a private letter lias been received by
a gentleman iu Georgia from Senator elect, II.
' • Miller, in which he stntos he recently had
a long interview with Gonoral Grant. Durin;
the conversation the reconstruction of Genrgi,
wns passed upon nt length. Enough was elic
ited from the President elect to warrant the Sen
ator iu assuring his correspondent that if wc can
manage to hold our present status until the
fourth of March, all will he well; that them will
ho no more reconstruction by Congress, nt least
so far as Georgia is concerned.
D. W, D. Boully has resumed the publi
cation of the Hawinsville Dispatch. We wish
him much success.
