NationalUeptiblitfln AUOUSTA. O»A.. 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." NEWS PA RAO 11A MS. —Napoleon has pulled down 22,000 houses in Paris, and pat up 87,000 better edifices. —The Ohio river is nine hundred miles in length, and has five hundred steamers en rolled upon it. —Mrs. Humphreys died last Thursday, near Mount Sydney, in Augusta county, Virginia, at the remarkably old age of 106 years. —lt is stated that Dickens has an offer of $20,000 in coin for twenty readings in San Francisco, but it will not be accepted. —lt is said that the water is uudermining the Horse Shoe Fall, Niagara, and that by and-by the latter will tumble out. —Fourteen car loads of fat cattle passed through Alexandria, Virginia, on Tuesday, by the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas Railroad, to the Northern markets. —ln the Church of England there are 1,500 clergymen whose incomes, as reotors or vicars, is under $750 per annum; there are some curates who starve on half that sum, and there is a society in London which gathers cast off clothes for poor clergymen aud their families. On the other side of the account, it appears that the Primate of Eng land has $75,000; the sees of York and Loudon have each $60,000; Durham has a revenue of $40,000 ; Winchester $35,000 ; Eley $27,750, and of the remainder of the bishops nine have $25,000, seven have $22,- 500, and six have $21,000. —The British trade returns for the first eleven months of 1867 show a continued, though not serious, falling off to the trade ol the country, both as to exports and imports. The declared value of British exports for November, 18G7, is $74,398,945 in gold, against $75,402,400 in November, 1866. The total for the eleven months of this year is $839,656,890, against $869,566,110 for the corresponding period in 1866. WASHINGTON FACTS. The bounty money due the crew of the United States steamer Mississippi, for the de struction of the rebel ram Manassas, is now 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. Draft of anew whiskey tax bill has been prepared, and will be completed in a few days. Indications are that the lax will be greatly reduced. The committee do not look with favor on a proposition which has been submitted to them, to give the highest bid der the exclusive right to manufaeture whis key. The committee will consider the various points for the next week or so, with a view of adjusting a proper bill. The Ways and Means Committee favor anew revenue bill in place of the one pending. The forthcoming report of General Thomas on the national ccmeter'cs will be very long, and will contain.a complete history of all the national cemeteries in the United States, which contain the remains of upwards of three hundred thousand soldiers. Cemeteries have been established in all of the Southern 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, and intends to see the laws of Congress 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. The Viceroy o! Egypt is described as a plump and prosperous prince, and incom parably the richest trader in the world. Rothschild is not to be named the same day with him. All that wonderful firm, eollected together from England, France, Austria, 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 and put together agaiu at pleasure ; but it signifies nothing. It is related of George Francis Train that Mrs. Elicit, when in Loudon some years since, was astonished one day to get a card from the irrepressible George, with his com pliments, asking if he could do anything for her. She replied that she wanted to travel on the Continent, and would like to find a small party to go with. G. F. T. immedi ately advertised for a “ small party ” to travel with Mrs. Ellett on tho Continent, and tho poor woman was actually alarmed at having several infants sent to her residence as travelling companions. Tho King of Siam has conferred upon Sir John Bowring the title of“Phraya Sinmitre Maba Yesa," for services rendered to tho Siamese. This is tho highest dignity that can bo borno by a foreigner. The gonial William C. Prime, editor of the Journal of Commerce, has, it is roported, withdrawn from active duty, though still retaining nil proprietary interest in that paper.

WE BEG LEAVE TO CALL THE ATTEN TION of the public to this long tested and unrivalled FAMILY MEDICINE. The PAIN KILLER is a purely vegetable compound ; and while it is a most efficient Rem edy for Pain, it is a perfectly safe medicine, even 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 Grooers. PERRY DAVIS A SON, Proprietors, j»l9—2m No. 74 High at., Providence, R.I. AGENTS WANTED Jf'Oß THE LIFE AND CAMPAIGNS OF GENERAL ROBERT E.
