NatioiiaHlepublican AUOUSXA. <±w. THURSDAY MORNING... January 9. IMS Southern Destitution—lts Causes. —A few of our newspapers have ’be senso to perceive tho true causes of the destitution which is thus early in tho soaSon manifesting? itself in all parts of the South, and the candor to set them before the people. The Memphis Bulletin, reviewing lbs alarming condittb'n Os things, concludes that “ misfor tunes teach our people no lesson ; like tho Bourbons they learn nothing and forget nothing. The thing to learn is—to raise pro visions; the thing to forget is—raising cotton and buying lood.” It seemed certain that the terrible suffering of lost winter would prove an effectual lessou, and that a suffi cient supply of food would not again be wanting. Reports from all parts of the South during the summer have been to the effect that a very large breadth of corn had been planted and that the crop was a full one. These reports either resulted from wrong impressions or they were misrepresen tations. The fact is, as the Bulletin de clares, that “ there have been planters who thought it would be * smart’ to grow cotton, and make money by it ; then buy cheap corn of neighbors less 1 smart’ than them selves.” Cotton did not prove a money, making business last year ; and there were so many of the “ smart’’ plauters who hoped it would, that the amount of material for food turned out extremely small. Such are the causes of much of the present desti tution nt the South, and not the operation of any civil or political measures. The Liberty (Miss.) Herald, thus gen erally though truly states the case: “ Our present unhappy situation is owing to labor and capital misdirected in the past, to the failure on the part of our people to make this country self-sustaining, ami unless the evil is remedied, we shall inevitably grow worse in the fnture.'' Congress. —“ Things is working,” at Washington. It will soon be decided whether the Hill-ites (the rule or ruin anti reconstructionists of Georgia) or Congress shall have the say-so. The national legisla tors will, doubtless, pass at an early day the House bill amending the reconstruction laws, so as to allow a majority of votes cast to ratify the new Constitution. It is very probable, too, that he present provisional State Governments will be abolished entirely and the Conventions authorized to establish new ones until the Constitution is ratified. TnE South Carolina Convention. 1 — This body will meet on the 14th of January. Official information shows the convention to be composed of one hundred and twenty four delegates, of whom fifty-five arc white and sixty-nine colored. Is it Law? —The State Constitutional Convention have passed an ordinance sus pending collections under legal process. This ordinance was designed to be tempo rary only. Its purpose was to stav execu tions and prevent oppression and hardship until that body could present a well-digested and permanent ordinance for the relief of the people. So long, therefore, as this temporary ordinance stands uurepealed, it is a law. It is law until its illegality (if the ordinance be illegal) is so declared by soma competent tribunal. Therefore, all sales inside in defiance of it are illegal and void. We pity any man who may he thoughtless enough to buy property under sale made in defiance of such ordinance. We would not envy the position of that civil officer who may proceed to make sale of property under legal process in contempt of that ordinance. The question is not whether the ordinance is just or politic; but is it binding’ until superceded by another, .or until declared illegal by some competent tribunal ? There can be but one opinion on this point. We have heqrd it intimated that the city Marshal of Atlanta would proceed with the sale of property, in contempt of the ordi nance of the Convention suspending all such sales. We are slow to believe this report. Such a proceeding will lend to much trouble and confusion, if any man can be found willing to buy property under such circum stances, we should dislike to take his chances for title. Piudent men will.not be caught in such a snap. It might prove a hazardous business to both officer and pur chaser.—Atlanta Opinion. Ocean Postal Service, 18G8.—The British Government having made anew contract with Cunard and Mclver, and granted subsidies to the luman and Bremen Companies, the mails next year will leave Southampton by tho Bremen line on Tuesdays. Queenstown by the luman line on Thursdays, and Queenstown by the Cunard line on Sundays. The last named company have discontinued the service between New York and Nassau, and also the fortnightly service between Queenstown and Halifax, which has been undertaken by the luman Company. Mr. Win. Cunard has under taken the service between Halifax, Bremen, and St. Thomas for $14,000 a year. Cunard and Mclver receive £OO,OOO a year. The Inman and Bremen Companies pay thom setves out of the ocean postage. The arrangements of our own Govern ment for the next year are as follows : The mails leave new York by the Bremen line on Tuesdays, by the Cunard on Wednes days, by the Hamburg on Thursdays, and by the Irnnan on Satcrdays. All the com panies rely upon the receipts from ocean postage for their pay. The Cunard Com pany will also despatch steamers to New York and Boston, on Tuesday, which will carry letters at the usual ship rates, as will also tho lines between Liverpool and Bos ton, Baltimore, and New Orleans, the National Steamship lino of Onion & Cos., and tho Allen Horn puny, which has been subsidized by the Canadian Government. ■ m % m [Official. | Headers Third Military District, ) ( Georgia, Florida and Alabama,) l Atlanta, Ga , Jan. 0, 18(17. ) General Orders, No. 3.

If good prices can be obtained, 1808 will have a prosperous year in the his tory of Cuba, the past two years having been disastrous to business men. —The Tallahassee Floridian announces the death in that city, on the 27th ult., of General William Bailey, in the 79th year of his age. Gen. Bailey was born in Georgia, and emigrated to Florida quite half a cen tury ago, when that territory was compara tively a wilderness. —The Free Masons of Philadelphia are to erect a granite temple two hundred and fifty feet long, one hundred and fifty feet wide, and with a tower threo hundred feet high. It is to be placed so that there will be a street on every side, is to cost three quarters of a million, and be five years in building. The lat is already purchased. —General Logan is preparing a bill for Congress to establish a civil service bureau in Washington, consisting of a board of examiners, whose duty it shall be to decide upon the qualification of all applicants for places in tho various departments. It will also provide that candidates shall be ap portioned among tho several States in the order of their Congressional representation. —ln .Mississippi the newspapers are anxious for planters’ meetings to consider agricultural affairs, and with regard to this matter the Holly Springs (Miss.) Ilecorder says: “Planters must agree to the wages to bo paid by them for laborers, and the course to bifpursued toward lazy, insolent, faithless hands. Unlsss they do this, and that soon, before the hiring of hands for the coming year, there is in the future trouble for the honest tillers of the soil.” FOI!HIGH SUMMARY. Tho Germans, it is stated, are beginning to print their books in Roman type. It is found much clearer and less trying to the eyes than the Gorman characters. Poland does not appear to improve at all in business. It lias a large trade, and manufactures largely, but no more than for many years past, and the condition of the artisans is wretched. The London Times publishes a statement that the foundations of Solomon’s Temple have been exhumed, and that even the pin nacle on which the tempter placed our Saviour has been uncovered to its base. Reports from Algeria describe the most frightful sufferings among the Arabs. The cholera has already carried off 52,000 of them, and now they are threatened with a terriblo famine. An appeal lias been made to France for help. It is reported from Paris that the Em peror is of late extremely petulant. None of the ministers is exempt from receiving tokens of his ill-temper, and affairs have come to that pass that they go on with the public business independently as far as possible, and submit to the Emperor only so much as is absolutely necessary. Some deputies in the North German Par liament complained recently of the action of Russia in suppressing the German lan guage in the Baltic provinces. Count Bis marck, in reply, expresses his sorrow at the course of Russia, but thought govern ment could do nothing to prevent it. He is said to have evinced a marked desire to keep on good terms with the St. Petersburg Cabinet. The condition of the Empress Charlotte continues to improve. She goes out every day, when the wesfther permits, for a long drive or a walk. She visits their majesties regularly twice a woek at Brussels, and the rest of her time is divided between music and painting, for which latter art she has a great aptitude. The Queen, her sister in law, docs not allow a day to pass without going to see her, and she receives frequent visits from the King and the Count and Countess do Flandre. —Napoleon’s chief of Paris has an eye to politics as well as to the beauty and con venience of his city improvement. When the Empress said to him, looking at one of his lonw, straight boulevards, just opened, ‘‘Why did you make that boulevard so long and straight? it is tiresome.” ‘ Mndamo,” replied the prefect, ‘‘l made it very long and vory straight because the generals of the artillery, whom I consulted a great deal on the subject, assured mo that it was im possible to teach eannou balls to turn round the first corner to the left.” —A Brusols newspaper states that tb* French police seized the Fenian headquar ters in Paris, where they discovered most important documents throwing light on tho conspiracy against England. Among tho documents was, it is said, a plan for the burning of the British channel fleet. All the papers were forwarded to London. The Commander-in-Chics of the British army in Ireland was in extraordinary activity against a Fenian movement. Ilis precautions were mninly directed to tho counties of the South and the West coast of the island, whore a revolutionary “landing” was looked for. The magisterial investigation in the case of the Clbrkcnvell explosion has had no results. The prisoners are remandod and tho easo is envoloped in mystery. Pap on Death. —The anti-reconstruction, disunion, Amorite press of Georgia, are resolved on “pop” or "death.” Their motto at this time is, ‘‘Give us pap or give us death.” As between “pap” or "death,” we would go ii. on "pap” all the time.- Atlanta Era.
