WEDNESDAY MORNING January 8», 1868
Stanton amd thk Phesidint.— There
are a class of newspaper correspondents
and Democratic politicians who >re en
deavoring to make a great deal of capital
for somebody out of the proceedings .that
took place when Mr. Stanton resumed the
duties of Secretary of War. Some of them
charge the Secretary ad interim with bad
faith in the surrender of the office, but this
slander has been set at reel by an explicit
denial on the part of the President of any
arrangement or understanding on the sub
ject- Others urge with great pertinacity
that as General Grant having, when, he
assumed the duties as Secretary, officially
informed Mr. Stnnton that he relieved him
“by order of the President of the United
States,” he should only have surrendered
the office pursuant to orders from the same
authority.
The answer to all this nonsense is, that
while the General walked into the office by
the order of the President of the United
States, he walked out of it by order of the
Seuate of the United States—an authority
which, under the existing laws of Congress,
is coequal with, if not paramount with that
of the President. We do not see bow,
having acknowledged the validity of the
tenure-of-offico law by suspending Mr. Stan
ton, and proceeding under it, the President
and his friends can now object to Mr. Stan
ton taking advantage also of tbe provisions
of the law.
Congress and tuk Supreme Court.—
Some careful Union men are asking whether
Congress is not going too far in meddling
with the Supremo Court. Both aro crea
tures of the Constitution. Their relations
are defined by that fundamental law. Well)
the Constitution expressly provides that
Congress shall establish regulations for the
Supreme Court. The language is permis
sive ; but the authority to legislate,, implies
the duty to legislate. In Art. 3, Sec. 2, of
Constitution, we read :
In all cases affecting ambassadors, other
public ministers, and consuls, and those in
which a State shall be a party, the Supreme
Court shall have original jurisdiction. In
all other cases before mentioned, the Su
preme Court shall have appellate jurisdic
tion, both as to law and fact, with such
exceptions and under such regulations as
the Congress shall make.
Congress has simply set about making
these “regulations.” The timid, self-styled
Conservatives are astounded. The reason
is they have not read or heeded this plain
language of the Constitution.
“ National Vote or Thanks.” —Gen,
Grant surrendered the War office in prompt
obedience to the civil law, and in defiance
of the wish of the Cominander-in-Chief that
he should retain it. if need be, by military
force. Tbe Tribune thereupon calls upon
the President, “ who is so fond of expressing
his admiration of the great principle
subordinating the military to the civil
power,” to “ send in a special message to
Congress, recommending a national vote of
thanks to General Grant for his disinterested
patriotism.” This would be eminently
proper, though in tbe circumstances, it is
hardly to be expected. Nobody need doubt,
however, that “ a national vote of thanks”
will be given General Grant next Fall, by
the people directly.
Uhity of Action Desirable.—The con
flicting and inconsistent policies being pur
sued by the several District Commanders,
each acting according to bis own political
proclivities, affords, to the minds of many, a
sufficient reason for placing General Grant
in command over the five Departments.
Says the Iribune, in regard to this matter:
When, during the war, each Department
Commander disposed of political questions
according to his personal 'notions—one free
ing the slaves, another returning them to
slavery ; one suppresssing Democratic news,
papers, another silencing Republican sing
ers ; one guarding tenderly the property of
Rebels; the other confiscating and plundering
it—it was found necessary to place a Gen
eral-in-Chief in command at Washington,
through whom cc Operation and uniformity
of action in all departments of the govern
ment were secured. So when in the pro
gress of reconstruction Gens. Canby and
Sheridan require all registered voters, with
out distinction of color, to be permitted to
sit on juries, while Gen. Hancock forbids
them to do so; Gen. Meade removes officers
who oppose reconstruction, while Gen.
Hancock himself opposes it; Gen. Ord
summons the military tribunals authorized
by Congress, while Gen. Hancock refuses to
do so, the need of greater tiuily of action is
too evident to be denied. In what way can
this Unity be more happily and impartially
secured than by placing all the departments
under the command of Gen. Grant?
Farewf.ll Sermon of the Rev. Lucius
Cuthuert, Pastor of the Citadel Square
Baptist Church. —At a recent meetiug of
the officers of the Citadel Square Church,
the resignation of their pastor, the Reverend
Lucius Cuthbert, was accepted. Mr. Gulh
bert’s health has been somewhat impaired'
rendering a residence in Aiken necessary
daring the greater part of the past year, and,
apprehensive that his temporary absence
might affect the welfare of the Church, he
resolved to tender his resignation. His
farewell sermon was preached yesterday
morning to a very large assemblage, com
prising many friends outside of his congre
gation, who knew his merits and regretted
the occasion of his withdrawal. Choosing
for bis terft a portion of the fourth verse,
seventeenth chapter of John—“ I have fin
ished the work which thou gavest inc to do"
—he delivered an impressive discourse on
the duties of a minister, briefly alluding to
the circumstances connected with his resig
nation, and concluded by advising his flock
to remain united, trusting that, some spiritual
pastor would be found who would prove
acceptable and would promote their advance
ment both temporally and spiritually.
Mr. Cuthbert has not accepted a call from
another Church, but will for a time recupe
rate his energies in the healthy climate of
Aiken. Though no successor has been
definitely selected, the officers of the Citadel
Square Church have extended a call to a
distinguished Baptist divine of a neighboring
State. If this invitation should be accepted
the Church will possess a pastor whose
reputation and power as a pulpit orator is
unsurpassed in tne South.— Charleston Netes,
Monday.
From the Atlanta Opinion.]
State Constitutional Convention
TWENTI-rOCBTH DAT.
i Atlanta, Jan. 19, 1868.
Contention met at regular hour. Prayer
by the Chaplain. Journal read aad approved.
QU laid before the Convention
a communication from General Meade, en
closing a copy of his order for the inforce
ment of the temporary rebel ordinance
passed by the Convention.
The consideration of the Bill of Bights
being tbe regular order, in Committee of the
Whole, Mr. CokI.BT was called to tbe Chair,
aud sectiou ten and pending amendments
taken up.
Several amendments to the section as
ameuded on Saturday; when Mr. Miller
moved to strike out the section as ameuded,
and insert the original section reported by
the committee. My. M. entered into a com
prehensive of the history of the law
of libel. The early practice was, to allow
the jury to determine only as to the facts of
the publication of the matter charged as
libellous. The later and moro intelligent
practice was to allow the defendant to prove
the truth of the assertion charged ns a libel,
and that it was not uttered or published
maliciously. He, therefore, wanted the
liberal principle adopted, and would vote
for the section as reported by the committee.
Mr. Adkins offered an amendment, that
prosecutions for slander be governed by
the same principle as prosecutions for libel.
He regarded such cases as similar; that they
cannot well be controlled by different rules.
Lost,
The sectiou, as amended, was struck out.
The question then recurred upon the
adoption of section 10, ns originally reported,
was agreed to, as follows :
Sec. 10. In all prosecutions of indictments
for libel, the truth may be given in evidence,
and the jury shall have the right to deter
mine the law and the facts.
Sec. 11, was uext considered. Amend
ments and substitutes were offered by
Messrs. Whitely, McCoy, Richardson,
Bryant, Crank, and Caldwell. All were
voted down except the amendment of Mr.
Bradley, striking out the words “of public
interest,” which were stricken. Mr. Blod-
OETT moved to strike out the words “of legit
imate consequence,” agreed to, and the
section as amended, was adopted, as follows :
Sec. 11- The right of the people to appeal
to the Courts, to petition the Government on
all matters, aud peaceably to assemble for
the. consideration ot any matter, shall never
be impaired.
On motion, the Committee rose and re
ported progress.
Mr. Ashburn moved a suspension of the
rules, to allow the introduction of resolutions
requesting General Meade to take notice ot
the action ot certain sheriffs who disregarded
the provisions of the temporary relief ordi
nance, by making sales of property in
January, and to remove them from office.
The resolutions were read, when
Mr. Miller opposed the motion to sus
pend. lie was sorry any officer had in
fringed, but he thought the usual legal
notice bad not been given to prevent, in
many instauces, the action of sheriffs.
The motion to suspend the rules was lost
on division —64 to 47—two-thirds being
required to suspend.
•Mr. Parrott opposed the original, and
all the amendments, at length He did not
want this Convention to be turned into an
election precinct. The Reconstruction
cause would be ruined by the completion of
such a policy. .He wanted this Convention
to proceed with its legitimate business,
adopt a Constitution republican in form, lay
it before the people—they will adopt it,'and
then would proceed to fill the offices in the
old familiar way which had been guaranteed
by their fathers. They wanted to be relieved
of military interference with civil offices,
and the privilege of taking the matter into
their own hands would be an incentive to
lead them to vote for ratification of all the
legitimate actions of the Convention. I>e
forfe concluding, the hour of adjournment
arrived.
Another Relic Gone. lmprisonment
for debt, the whipping post, trial by wager
of battle, religious persecution, concubinage,
proscription for opinion’s sake, and other
relics of the Middle Ages, should now give
place to the more enlightened views and
humane instincts of a Christian people. It
has always been a source of mortification
and shame to every true American, that one
of the signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, yielding to the exactions of a law
which survived that revolution of ideas,
died in prison wherein he had been thrust
for debt.
Credit is based upon one of two things, or
both combined: First, confi lence in the
integrity of the debtor, and second, his
ability to meet his obligations. The first
without the second, never paid, and never
can pay debts. The second without the first
may he forced to pay, but not by imprison
ment. His property should be held liable.
This may be sold, and the debt satisfied. In
all such cases, imprisonment is unnecessary.
And if a man bo indebted, but wholly unable
to pay, it matters little to the creditor
whether he be wiling to pay. The imprison
ment of such a man makes him no more nor
les honest , but a great deal less able lo meet
his obligations.
Every good citizen will applaud, therefore,
the action of the Convention in striking
from our Bill of Rights this unsightly re
proach upon our civilization. As it now
stands “there shall be no imprisonment for
debt.” Georgia stands forth shorn of one
more relic of the Feudal ages. —Atlanta
Opinion.
The Fastest Horse and Heaviest Bluff,
—A correspondent of the Hartford IVess
relates the following story : On one occasion,
while travelling down the Mississippi River,
Commodore Vanderbilt was surrounded by
one of the gang of gamblers and invited to
play “poker." He accepted the request. It
was tWe game of these professional gamblers,
when they had got hold of a victim, to keep
“going him better" until the largo sums at
stake would frighten him from “calling,” and
thus insure them the “pool.” They tried it
on the commodore. First one would bet a
few thousand, and others would see that sum
and go several thousand better. Finally (he
amount in the pool had increased to a sum
far in excess of the ready funds which he
could command. The Commodore, however,
had no intention of being “bluffed” off. He
saw their game. Calling a negro, he asked
him if he would ask the captain down. The
captain appeared, when the following con
versation ensued :
“ Captain, can yon tell mo who owns this
boat ?’’
“ I do, sir.”
“ What do you call it worth?"
" I can not tell exactly, but I should say
thirty thousand dollars.”
“ Will you *ike that sum for it ?”
" YeR.”
“Very well. I am Commodore Vander
bilt, of Now York.” Then writing a check
for the sum, ho added: “Here is qiy check
for thirty thousand dollars. It will bo hon
ored at our first stopping place.”
Haying done this, the Commodore turned
round to the table and said to the gamblers :
“ I sec the last amount and go it better to
the extent of this boat." The gang was not
prepared for this coup (Fetal. The were not
able to see the Commodore's “rise,” and he
consequently coolly swept off the contents of
the “pool."

WASHINGTON FACTS.
The bounty money due the crew of the
United States steamer Mississippi, for the de

ready for payment at the office ol the Fourth
Auditor of the Treasury.
General Grant has applied to Senator
Trumbull to appear in the Supreme Court in
behalf of the military authorities in the Mc-
Cardle case, which involves the reconstruc
tion laws, and in which the Attorney General
can not appear for the Government, because
he is already committed against the laws.
Mr. Trumbull has consented to act.
Washington was gay Wednesday night,
even in the midst of its political excitement.
General Grant and lady gave their first
evening reception, aud his spacious resi
dence was literally overwhelmed with the
varied elements of military, diplomatic,
naval, congressional, political, and fashiona
ble life in the capital. At one time it was
impossible for the guests to enter the house,
the crowd was so great.

The forthcoming report of General Thomas
on the national ccmeter'cs will be very long,

States except Florida. The few bodies
buried there, principally at the battle ground
of Olustee, will be removed to Savannah,
Ga. It is understood that as soon as Gen.
Thomas has finished his inspection report
he will lie directed to resume his official
duties as Adjutant General of the army.
A New Way to Get Old Debts.—The
passage of the Bankrupt act furnishes anew
method of collecting old debts other than by
execution, levy, etc. A man’s creditors can
now force him into bankruptcy by filing
their petition to make him come forward
and show cause why he should not be ad
judged as a bankrupt, aud make him settle
his accounts or go into bankruptcy. Several
cases of this kind have occurred in this
State. On Thursday evening the creditors
of a Savannah merchant filed a petition
against him in the Clerk’s office of the
United States District; but ere all the forms
had been completed they returned and with
drew it, they having effected a settlement of
affairs.— Savannah Republican.
General Meade is no improvement on
Pope. The President has gained nothing
by the change. Pope removed subordinate
civil officers, but Meade strikes down the
highest with his mailed hand. He is a sol
dier, not a politician, whatever Pope was,

enforced and all obstructions cleaned out of
the way, at least till competent authority
pronounces them unconstitutional. The
question now arises, will the President re
move Meade ?—Cincinnati Commercial.

Rothschild is not to be named the same day

Prussia and .Italy, could not show such vast
profits upon their business as his Highness
the Nali of Egypt. Perhaps his Highness
is, all things considered, the only really
pleasantly situated monarch known among
men of the present generation. He is an
absolute sovereign in the best sense of the
word. He could chop off an able editor's
head, if troublesome, or make a delicate
roast of any refractory member of council,
with all the ease in life, He has a sort of
puppet miuistry that ho can take to pieces

It is related of George Francis Train that
Mrs. Elicit, when in Loudon some years

on the Continent, and would like to find a
small party to go with. G. F. T. immedi

oppressing them, is likely to be acted upon
by this Convention at some future day ; and,
whereas, large amounts of property are now

sheriff’s sales; and, whereas, the debtors in
such cases should be entitled to the benefits
which may be conferred on other debtors by

and that all sales under execution in viola
tion of this ordinance shall be null and void,
and of no effect.”

Provided, That this order shall not apply to
executions issued or to be issued on judg
ments in favor of laborers or mechanics for
services rendered since July 21st, 1865,
nor to executions for the collection of taxes.

in tho most nnskillful bands, for
SUMMER GOMPPAINT,
or any other form of Bowel Disease in children
or adults. It is an almost certain core, and has,
without doubt, been more successful in curing
the various kinds of
CHOLERA
than any other known remedy, or Oven the most
skillful physician. In India, Africa and China,
where this dreadful disease is ever ihore or less
prevalent, the
PAIN KILLER
is considered by the natives, as well as European
residents in those climates,
A SURE REMEDY.
Asa Tonic for tho Stomach, it is unrivalled.
A few doses will relieve severe cases of
INDIGESTION,
and it is often a perfect cure for
DYSPEPSIA
in its most aggravated forms. Its tonic and
stimulating properties, arousing the system to
vigorous action, render it a most effectual
cure for
COLDS AND COUGHS,
when used according to directions.
For external application, it is unsurpassod by
any medical preparation known.
RHEUMATISM
and Neuralgic Affections are quickly relieved
and often cured by it. Any soreness in the
Muscles or Joints can be relieved by its applica
tion. It cures instantly the most violent
TOOTHACHE.
It should always be kept near at hand, to be
used in cases of sevoro
BURNS OR SCALDS.
If applied immediately, according to directions,
it will give instant relief, and prevent blistering.
It is peeuliarly adapted to the wants of
SfiAMEN,
and persons making sea voyages, and no vessel
should sail without a supply of it. One captain
writes us:
“I have made several voyages—often with
emigrants—and though I keep a good medicine
chest, and have several times had a good deal of
sickness on board, I have found the Pain Killer so
efficient in all cases is to entirely preclude the
use of all other medicines.”
One positive proof of its efficacy is. that the
sales have constantly increased, and wholly
upon its own merits. The effect of tho Pain
Killer upon the patient, when taken intornally
in cases of Colds, Cough, Bowel Complaints,
Cholera, Dysontery, and other affections of tho
systom, has been truly wonderful, and has won
for it a name among the medical preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its success in re
moving Pain, as an external remedy, in oases of
Burns, Bruises, Soros, Sprains, Cuts, Sting of
Insects, and other causes of suffering, has se
cured for it such a host of testimony, as an
almost infallible remedy, that it will be banded
down to posterity as one of the greatest medical
d'seoverios of the nineteenth century. Tho
magioal effects of tho Pain Killer, whon taken
or usod according to directions, are certain.
You havo only to bo sure that you buy tho
genuine article and adhere to tho directions in
its use, and you will admit Us wonderful tuodi
oinal properties.
The genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now
put up in panncl bottles with the words Davis
Vegetable Pain Killer blown in tho glass j and
with two steel ongravod labels on each bottle
ono an cxcollcnt likeness of Porry Davis, the
original inventor of the medicine, the other a
steel engraved note of hand—none others oau be
relied upon as genuine.
Ttie Paiu Killer is sold by Druggists and
