Republic, Kmplre or Kingdom 1
The popular mind of this country is doubtless
ia a procoos of ohange in regard to government*
a\ theories, and the question ia aonatnntly recur*
ring to thinking men, Ie it beet for thin country
to have a Republic, Empire or Kingdom ? As
long as the government of the fathers of thia
Republic was administered in acoordanoe with
the constitution they framed and completed for
the happiness of themseiveo and posterity, such
a question presented itself to tlio minds of but
few American citizens; but, the mania for change,
and the corruptions resorted to, to induce or
bring atfout such change in tho naturo of tba'
government, laying desecrating hands even upon
the Constitution itself, until it has become to be
treated as a mere pioco of composition, aud not
held as a sacred inheritance committed from
sire to son, the restless disposition thus engen
dered to pass from old to new ways, has created
a desire, a longing for something more revolu
tionizing in tho form of government. Thought
ful minds do not find that stability in the pre-
•gressive republicanism of th*e times that gives
them confidence in republican government —
They know that radical changes, sudden and
unexpected, in the policy of government, are
•difficult of attainment without inducing revoiu-
ltion by force of arms, and that such revolutions
may frequently occur. They do not feel that
they will bo able to transmit the same govern
ment they live under to their posterity, and they
naturally look for a government more enduring,
more stable, which is not to be subverted at
every popular election, and made to suit tho
fickle fancy of pot-house politicians and bogus
statesmen.
Office-seeking is tho bane of republican gov-
■ eminent. No better illustration of this truth
can be given than is presented iu the history
of this country. The too frequent popular elec
tions keep the people divided into antagonistic
and warring parties, and the strongest party,
having the power, makes the emoluments of
office prizes for the most damnable corruptions.
If popular elections were less frequent, and
men’s fitness for office mude upon the basis of
honesty and efficiency in the public service,
instead of partisan devotion, the people would
be more united, ancl a republican government
would bo more conducive to popular happiness
and contentment. The jarring discords of po
litical strife are so frequent, that the American
pocple aye always divided, not so much on prin
ciple as they are upon pnblic plunder. Hence,
the frequency of popular elections ever keep
The Financial Despotism.
The financial condition of the country is ex
tremely critical. We arc just beginning to real
ize In all it« power the burden of heavy and re
lentless taxation imposed to keep up a profli
gate and ill-managed government. The rich
are becoming richer; the poor poorer. Tho mid-
classes aro the main sufferers. Bond-holders are
Shylocks demanding the “ pound of flesh” from
every working or businoss man iu tho laud.—
Business is becoming Blaguant; tho currency de
preciating, and living higher and highov by th
lightness of nu inflated currency, and is now 90
per oent. higher than before the war. Wo are
absorbed by taxation 25 per cent, of our incomos
annually. All this to pay tho annual interest
of a continually swelling publio debt. Few peo
ple aro ablo to buy themselves more than the
absolute necessities of lifo, and fewer still arc
cnablod to procure the real comforts. The truth
is, natioual poverty and distress is coming upon
us and wo shall soon booomo a nation of pau
pers, unless tho people rise up in their majesty
and demand reform iu the management and ex
penditures of the government. There is some
show of prosperity on the part of a favored few,
but it is only the glare and shine of shoddy
speculations. The true people—tho “ bone aud
sinew" of the land - nre becoming emasculated by
the constant tight grasp of the hand of poverty
and distress so persistently lays upou them.—
Tho spirits of the people are being broken, and
a national calamity is about to bo brought on
by the extravagant rule of tho Radical party.
Oh, God ! how long aro wo to endure aud pine
under thiB despotism ? Is there no relief from
the heavy burden of taxation, tho yoke of which
is galling our necks and oxhausting our bodies ?
Is there no way of esoapo—no means of redress ?
Tho tux-gatherer is inoxornblo —his burden is
too grievous to bo borne. The nation wails un
der the pressure of a financial despotism inau
gurated and enforced by a despotic centralized
power. An incubus is fastened upon the ooun-
try destroying tho vitality of tho national life,
to fatten tho cormorants in offieo and fill the
purees of exacting bond-holders with gold. How
long, oh ! how long will the people ’submit to
this degradation? Will they labor on and toil
on under the galling yoke of financial despot
ism without a loud and irresistib'e remoustrance?
Will not there go up from every corner of the
couutry a protest that shall be heeded by those
iu power ?
Within the past eighteen months, it is stated
the public debt has increased thirty seven and a
half millions of dollars this iu time of peace
At this rate we aro becoming hopelessly involv
ed iu financial ruin, and recklessness in the af
fairs of government still goes on unabated in ox-
travagance aud corruption. Can this country
stand another four years of Radical rule ? Will
not tho people yearn for a different form of gov
ernment? If not for a change of form of gov
ernment will they not cry aloud for reform in
the oue wo have? With the weak, imbecile ad-
To (he Friend* of the » Reporter.” Agriculture and Fertiliser*.
The proprietors of this paper would kindly It is predicted by many that there will bo a groat,
hint to their friends that a good word spoken for | distress among agriculturalists the present year,
it might do much in extending its circulation
and thereby enabling them to continue the pub
lication of a first class journal. They have
struggled us few have struggled to koep the Re-
poivr&n going, a papor which has been in tho
forofront in contending for tho rights aud dignity
of tho Southern pooplo. Truo to thoso, it has
not, in a single instance, swerved from tho path
of duty. While other journals have received tho
oncouragcment of public patronage and tho as
sistance of friends, tho Rbforter has battled on
without aid from any source except from tho pa-
tronago which has voluntarily como to it.
Words of commendation have como to them
from every quanter. Tho merits of tho paper
have been freely expressed by tho press general
ly. Iudood, no paper iu Georgia has been more
universally commended by the p oplo and the
press than this. The proprietors are gratified
for all these. Thoy feel glad that their labors
have been such as to merit so much of the praise
all journals aro glad to receive. Rut all this
don’t pay the printer. While the circulation of
tho Reporter may be beyond that of the great
majority of country weeklies, it is not such an to
adequately remunerate for tho groat outlay made
for the large quantity of reading matter weekly
given.
To tho business men we would say, it is a well
known fact that no oountry paper depends for
success upon its list of subscribers; it, alone, will
in most cases, hardly pay the running expenses
of tho office and hence tho source of profit must
bo looked for elsowhcro.
Therefore, let overy man, who is a trno friend
of this paper, endeavor to extend its circulation
aud increase its advertising patronage. A little
effort on tho part of all present patrons will
cost nothing but a few words of kindness, but
tho results may be greatly advantagous to the
Reporter in continuing Us publication as a first-
class journal.
luenoe of the large expenditures made
in fertilisers, and that many will be ruined.—
This prediction ia based upon tho belief that
persons have employed commercial manures
without knowing tli proper use of them or how
to apply them according to tho necessities of the
soils; others from allowing the gimnoH to be ap
plied by careless hirelings loft to pursuo tho la
bor without a watchful superintendence over
thorn. While wo aro loth to forbodo evil on Ibis
score, wo aro fearful thoro ia too much truth in
some of theso predictions, or rather that their
truth ill In ess may bo verified. However, wo
shall hope for tho bettor. Tho truth is, we can
not well afford to fail in the crops this year with
out ruinous disaster. Nothing would bring
more distress upon this section of tbo country
than a failure to realize good crops. Many
planters hnvo made heavy investments in fertil
izers, and many have oven mortgaged thoir
property to Hocure commercial manures.
It would have been hotter, we think, if our
pooplo had experimented gradually, and, by
regular process of preparation, made themselves
familiar with tho use of fertilizers without lim
ning too groat risks. There is ono item of in
formation that would have boon well to consider.
Before applying guanos, tho turning under of all
vegetable matter last fall in the green state
would have given peculiar advantages to tho ac
tion of the fertilizers.
But lot us hope for the best. Let our farmers
give their experiments in tho public prints for
publio information and public prosperity.

cited the avariciousness of men for office, and
they will resort to the basest and meanest stmt- j ministration at Washington nothing but despair
* to attain political power that their pockets
may be filled. Thus we soo section arrayed
against section, resulting in war and blood-shed
and culminating in oppression aud tyranny.
The question of change of government, per
haps, excites the Southern mind less than
certain minds at the North. Indeed, but little
interest is token in the subject, except to express
a willingness to accept any kind of government
that will afford protection and security to life,
liberty and property. We of the South feel
ourselves oppressed, and would hail any change
that would promise us better government and
equal rights. It cannot be disguised, however,
that the popular heart beats s' rougly aud fervent
ly for the government of their fathers. If the
Southern States could be left alone to enjoy tho
rights.which belong to all the States under the
the Constitution—to manage their own local
affairs iu their own way—be protected in all
their rights as co-equal States in the Union—
there is no people on the face of the earth more
devotedly attached to republican government
than are Southern people. But, when we re
member that a centralized power at Washing
ton has, for four long and weary years, cause
lessly and for no purpose but to buildup a parti
san organization to hold the offices and rob the
treasury of the country, held over us tho rod of
military despotism to - enforce partisan behests,
we must 6ay in all candor that the present gov
ernment of the United States has but few charms
“.for us; and wo should feel disposed to accept
reasOfiatify good 'government from' any quarter
. capable of giving it to us and maintaining it.
This is the result of the folly of thoso in pow
er at the National capitol. Congress has had
the power to make this government tho strong
est upon tho face of tho earth. A policy of con
ciliation— of restoration of the recusant States
to original rights in the Union—would have
cemented the bonds of national fraternity and
forever established the doctrine that man is capa
ble of self-government, and placed republican
institutions far above all the doubts of political
theorists. But office, plac» and plunder came
us the bane of the Republic. Fanaticism, en
gendered by the love of partisan power, present
ed new conditions precedent to the restoration
of peace and harmony between the States, utter
ly repulsive to the Southern people. The revo
lution in the public sentiment of the South
sought to be forced upon us, was too sudden and
too radicaL The party in power sought to ac
complish by the sword and the bayonet that
whioh should have been left to time and calmer
judgment. By usurpation, hate and revenge
Congress has become a despotism more galling
then the will of the most absolute monarch.
For these reasons, tho Southern mind may be
laid to be somewhat prepared for any change
in government that will promise speedy and
certain relief, and they care little whether it be
under the government of a Republic, Empire or
Kingdom.
The Government at Washington has not only
become a centralized despotism, but it has weak
ened the power of the country to repel the ag
gressions of foreign powers. Should the Eng
lish, French and Spanish alliance defensive and
offensive result in a war between those countries
And the United States, it would not be difficult
to foresee the structure of an empire or a mon
archy rising from the ruins of the late Confed
eracy without any resistance from the Southern
people—because they know and feel most keenly
that their condition could be no worse than it is.
The question, therefore, with us is reduced to
one of expediency under certain given circum
stances, whether we could best prosper and se
cure happiness in a Republic, Empire or King
dom, or as a dependency of either of the latter.
We ore discussing a grave subject—one that
requires boldness to grapple and more ability
than we possess to handle successfully. It is a
subject that should be well weighed by the gov
ernment at Washington in dealing with the
South. But, by all moans, let “the powers
that be" understand that the South desires first
a republican government as guaranteed by
the Federal Constitution, as interpreted by its
framers and hanued down to posterity. If such
government is not to be restored to us, then we
shall cease to feel further love and veneration
for the “old flag,” but would prefer protection
from the British lion or the eagles of France
than to remain under the galling bondage of a
centralized despotism at Washington.

The Pacific Railroad.—This stupendous
railway, connecting tho Atlantic shores with
those of the Pacific, has been completed and the
passage from New York to San Francisco ss only
six days, a distance of over thirty-thro© hundred
miles When tho now portions of tho Pacific
road has become settled, the schedule will give
tho trip in little over five days. Tbe last spike
was driven on tho 10th inst., at Promontory
Point, and tho crowd in attendance upou tho oc
casion consistod of about thro© thousand, includ
ing a few ladies and a large delegation of Mor
mons. Tlio last rails were adjusted by high offi

by President Stanford of the Central and

Woman Suffrage.—The New York Express
says “wo hove given Suffrage to the African—
not of our race, and scarcely of our civilization;
shall we withhold it now from our own dear
wives, daughters, sisters, etc.? If other ‘ slaves’
havo been emancipated, at the costs of millions
of treasure, the hectacombs of lives —why not
emancip ite these poor women, when the thing
can bo done without costing anything?”
The fran *hise might be useful to tho poor
over-worked neodclle-woinen of the North, whose
condition the negro women of the South would
spurn and loath. Strong-minded Yankee women
might delight to mingle with the butfooury aud
coarse jests of political hustings, but tbe refiu-
e 1 women, and women of all classes, in the
South would naturally shrink from such contact.
Southern women regard their truo sphere in
the family circle, where with tho power of fe
male modesty aud Christiau piety, they mould
the minds of the young with tho inspirations
for the beautiful and religion, without which no
people can be really great. It is within the pre
cincts of the domestic eirclo woman is called to
labor and live. Her native modesty and purity
forbid her to mingle iu the jostle and corrup
tion of political strife; and wfc venture to assert
that not ono in a hundred in the South would
avail themselves of the franchise ri ht were it
offered them.
Tun Loyal Congregating at Atlanta.—Radical
authority, in the form of telegraphic dispatches
to Washington city, is given that Radicals from
all parts of the State are fleeing to Atlanta for
safety. This, of r course, is iutended for political
effect only. It is the opening of the political
campaign for the summer—to make capital for the
Radical party iu its inforunl efforts to have
Georgia remanded to military despotism. None
of the Radicals from this sectiou, we believe,
have left for tho “Gate City,” though there are
not more than a dozen white cues in this county.
If Radical were unsafe any whore, they surely
would be here where there are so few and at the
mercy of the Democracy if they choose to per
secute or kill them up. Bullock, of New York,
is trying to give color to these misrepresenta
tions by absenting himself from tho State and
expressing fears of returning. He sa3's he will
be assassinated if he comes back, and the rascal
wilfully lies if ho makes tbe assertion. He
knows he is a common liar as well as the public
knows it, anil therefore, he docs n’t scruple to
indulge in his vile predilections.
A New Phase to the Alabama Question.—The
special telegraph correspondence of the Louis
ville Courier-Journal, from Washington, dated
the 15th, says that a letter has been received at
the Capital “from London from a prominent
American and an ex-official of this government,
in which the writer says that no matter what in
structions this administration may send over re
garding new negotiations on tho Ala' <ama ques
tion, tho British government will nevor consent
to the settlement of the claim except by inter
national arbitration; ancl unless the administra
tion accepts this from the start as the proper
basis, no negotiations of any character need be
expected.”
If this be true, the Federal administration
will have to back down or fight. We have be
lieved all the time that English pride would be
riled at the manner and style of the rejection of
the Johnson-Clarendon treaty, which referred
the question of dispute in regard to the Alabama
claims to international arbitration. In a burly
and unmannerly way the Federal government
rejected this fair and equitable treaty, which
would have been the most satisfactory plan of
getting rid of a knotty question “Let us have
peace."
To the Georgia Press.—The press of this
State will indulge us iu a few words of thanks
for the almost universal kind treatment and
words of cheer they have so cordially bestowed
upou the Reporter for the past several months.
No paper in the State has grea’er reason to be
thankful for the numerous and friendly expres
sions of commendation than the Reporter. Wo
often feel aud fear that suoh kindness is the re
sult of that fraternal relation so characteristic of
the press, and that the Reporter is really not
entitled to so much kindness. While it is our
aim and ambition to make ours a useful journal,
and useful to the extent of our ability, we know
that our short-oomings are numerous, aud some
times even ridiculous; and we are indebted to
the press fop overlooking many of our indiscre
tions, giving ua credit for the better impulses of
nature. In all that pertains to the dignity aud
usefulness of the profession, we have a most
lively interest and deep concern. To the extent
of our abilities, we shall ever endeavor to sus
tain the dignity which belongs to the “fourth
estate.”

Not “ Loyal.”—The Radicals constantly
charge the Southern people of being disloyal to
the government. If the charge was made that
they are not loyal to the Constitution it would
be an infamous lie, but if they mean that the
Ralical party and the centralized power at
Washington is tho Government, the charge is
correct, and we are proud of tho distinction.—
To these we are r.ot loyal and G°d forbid that,
we should ever be. Give us the government ol
our fathers; give us constitutional liberty,’ give
us equal rights; give us that which by right be
longs to us; give us these aud there will be no
more loyal u people thau we of tho South. But
iu our hearts wo despise aud damn the govern
ment as construed by tho Radical party. Wo
loathe and hate it. For the government oi civil
