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. Opelika Tjb-Wkekny Locomotive. -Sncli is the name of quite u neat paper recently estab lished at Opelika, Ala., by Means. Moore & Lo gan. We well acquainted with Billy Moore, and a clever fellow- he he, and both gentlemen being practical printers, they will doubtless suc ceed. We wish them prosperity in their enter- “Looli out fitr the engine whet) !be 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.
