THK XATIOhAI. RKPUKLICAtI,
At tile clone of this excirinjf jxilitionl
contest vre take the o|>|MMtunit\ J.rietlv to
review our course since we ileelanal our
selves in favor of the party of Recount rue
tion ami the Union,
If we im 1 entitle.l to claim no other
merit we at least may claim that of
consistency. We have always deairet! ami
ath.x ate.l such a settlement of our politi
cal difficulties as would restore to the South
prosperity and civil government. The
Daily /Vim under our management, was
we lielieve. the only paper in Georgia that
advocated the adoption of the ••( (institu
tional Amendment" as it was called a
measure eminently just and fair, aiftl which
many of those w ho w ere its opponents then
are now ready to confess should have I wen
acceded to. We foretold what has hap
la ned, that if that proposition was not en
tertained by the people of Georgia, more
severe terms would be cuacted.
The Legislature- not, ns we believe, re
presenting the people, but rather governed
by the same spirit which brought on seces
sion and the war chose to reject the terms
of peace otl'ere.l by the conqueror, and as
we predicted harder terms were imposed.
The Daily l’it » became the National
Republican. Imt without any change of
course or sentiment. We still sought "the
things which make tor p?aee," and advo
cated a compliance with the new terms
offered. Anything was better than that
unsettled condition which obstructed the
development of the State, drove away immi
gration and capital from our borders, ilis.
cottragetl enterprise, and destroy ed public
and private prosperity . We still labored tor
the material good of the people. Hut the in
fatuation that led to the rejection of more
favorable terms still ruled. A party, and
the ruling party in this section of the State,
still kept up their hostility to any terms of
peace. What they wished they have never
declared, nor what terms of settlement they
were willing to comply with—they were,
to all appearance, opposing every thing and
proposing nothing. Seeing no way out of
the miserable dilemma, but a compliance
with tlie terms offered, we advocated their
adoption and our return to the Union
under them.
Tor a long time we stood alone, the
only daily paper in Georgia which advo
cated reconstruction upon the basis of the
terms offered by the law-making power of
the national government. We were ex
posed to the attacks of the whole press of
the State, united against us. We were con
demned to every kind of proscription which
could be exercised upon us. In our Inti
ness, efforts partially successful were made
to injure us. We say nothing of the mis
representation of our motives, and the
gross personal libels uttered and published
against us. Years of fair dealing and good
citizenship were sufficient to give the lie to
such attacks, and they passed us as the-idle
wind, which we regarded not. We strove
to avoid replying in the same drain, though
some of our assailants were peculiarly vul
nerable. Personalities were beneath the
dignity of a contest in which such vast
public interests were at stake.
Wc stand now in the rank* of tlie \ii
tors in tlie recent i onti -t. Tlie principles
for which we have striijfftleri anil heenper
-ecuteil are triumphant. Georgia fins
taken the first steps step-! not to he re
traced—on lier return to the Union, to self
government, and. as we lielieve, to a pros
purity unexampled in her annals. Her
people have decided that, hereafter, they
will live miller their own Constitution, he
governed hy their own laws, administered
hy officers of their own choice; and when
the acerbities which have been aroused in
the heated political conte-t through which
we have just passed shall have hecn allayed
yh time, we hope to have it acknowledged
that the course we have pursued has been
lor the best interests of the State and the
i (immunity of which wc are members.
As to our future course, ns one of the
organs of the now dominant recoustruc.
lion party, we -hall promise no more than
our past lias guaranteed. We desire that)
above all things, the bad passions engen
dered by a long course of civil war and
political hostility should be allavod. that
there max be peace throughout our bor
ders that laws should he obeyed and pri
vate rights respected, nnd to iitlaiii tin <■
desirable cuds we shall labor as uealwny
liave la laired.

Master Rmise, of the Ku-Klux organs is
“dlggin* for a woodchuck, and endeavor
ing to extricate the "nigger in a wood
pile.'' Nay, Our asm idloUs friend, having
come to the conclusion Hint the stupid
liewlv enfrnrlclii-ed have listened to car
pet baggers rather than to their “best
friends," is strenuously advising the “re
spectable" White MiuT:- Party to "com
mence operations to counteract tlicir irit
Alienee bv a resort to the same processed
through which they the carpet baggers)
Imvc acquired such fearful ascend
ancy over them" |the "and and niggers ’."].
Master Hnnsev, the special friend of the col
ored race everywhere, in Georgia not less
than I'einmylraniu- proposes to “lift the
pressure" and “relieve" poor Nig. lienee,he
is going to inaugurate anew business—
he's going to open, next door back of the
Gas counting room, an Intelligence office
for the benefit of “respectable" persons*
irrespective of color the only test of
respectability required being a pledge on
the part of >hc members of “our Club''
to give their “support and patronage to
those tradesmen who are members thereof
to the exclusion of outsiders," and ‘To
give the preference to their own members
in selecting mechanics, laborers, or scr
vants of any kind and, with an eye
single to the intellectual advancement of
the colored element, a course of lectures
will be provided by the Club, designed
for the accomplishment of great good in
•opening up to the mind of the colored
man the true relations of individuals to
society" [in such intricate matters as a
mule trade], and “impressing upon them
correct ideas of the duties of the citizen
to the Government under which we live’’
[respecting sundry little peccadilloes, as
kidnapping, etc).
It will be seen that the idea of “mutual
protect ion" [from scallavvags and spider
bite* }is made prominent in this plan. Os
course, we merely give the General outline
of the organization of this move in the
(W)right direction. Upon consultation and
interchange of views, [among tax payers*
after perusing a few lines from Master
Ranse’s friend Blodgett to the City Coun
cil, on Friday.] it may be found expedient
to change, or considerably modify the
above nice little programme. Our object
is not so much to give the precise organ
ization of this Intelligence and Mutual
Protection Club, as to direct attention to
the subject from all (Wjright-mindcd men
"East of the Oconee."
We think, however, that "something not
only mutt he, but that it can be done,” to
prevent the colored population from falling
under the iiilluence of such “unprincipled
w retches" as the author of the C/irnnicb
soribblings upon “Our Plain Duty."

recent election the Democrats, thinking that
the colored people ought not to posse -s the

former i ted their life-long jmjut!tea, no

THE SOUTH.
4, Eater intelligence from the Southern elec
tions is still more favorable to the Republican
cause. Olayouth Carolina, there is no use
to ask father intelligence ; the majority jn
that Slnte is already unnecessarily large.
Georgia dispatches now promise at least
seven thousand majority for the constitution,
nnd four for Governor Bui.i.ock. North
Carolina has probably ratified the constitu
tion by thirty-five thousand majority, and
elected the whole Republican State ticket.
lu sumo strange, mysterious, and utterly
incomprehensible fashion it happens tjial the
Southern negroes—who “don’t know enough
to vote, ’ you know—always vote the Repub
lican ticket, and elect loyal men lo nil offices,
lb rhnps a well trained Copperhead would
say that they me bribed to do so, but the fact
is that they were bribed to vote the other
way. The land is owned by the Conserva
tives ; business is generally controlled -by
Conservatives ; and all the power of wealth
and habitual control arc used to turn them
from their convictions. The miserable crea
tures “don't know how to vote," but by a
miraculous accident they always vote right.
They arc awfully ignorant, hut it is exceed
ingly clear that they know better what the
welfare of their State demands than their
old masters I —Metsotn i Democrat.
From the way Tory Democracy acted in
tlie last election we can correct the above so
far as to say, that oar experience was that
they were unusually active and anxious for
negro votes every where, and tried threat*,
pistols, begging, Being, cheating, swindling,
and whiskey, to get the “don’t know how to
vote" men to vote with them.
END or THE ABYSS]XIAN WAR—
THK RATTLE IX WHICH THEO
DOH US HAS KILLED.
A dispatch from Magdala, April 13th,
sots forth the particulars of the hattle in
which King Theodoras was killed, and
which ends the Abyssinian war, so far as the
object for which it was undertaken is con
cerned. The dispatch says :
A truce which had been agreed upon be
tween General Napier and King Theodoras
terminated at an early hour this morning.
Immediately after its termination, the King
not having surrendered the captives, Major
General Napier placed hitnsell at tlio head
ol the first and second brigades ot his army,
and moved tip the hill towards the fortress to
Shillasse. This portion of the strong works
built was surrendered to Napier by the chiefs
in command, alti r a brisk attack, in which
the African troops were defeated. King
1 hcodoriis, observing the English advance
and its first fruits, retreated into the center
of the Magdala works on the plateau, hav
ing first planted five of his guns at the base.
When General Napier came in sight with his
hri glide, the King’.- artillerymen opened on
the advance with these guns in presence of
Theodoras.
The British replied immediately with
their twelve pounder Armstrong guns and
seven inch mountain mortar rocket guns,
throwing rooks into the place. After en
during this fire a short time, King Theo
doras absconded his guns, and still retreat
ing inward, barricaded the silly ports, and
commenced a fire of musketry from boliind
bis gates and wall defences. The Abys
siuians evincing no signs of surrender, Gen.
Napier halted his advance and commenced
a lioiiibnrdmen* of tlicir works. The bom
bardment was continued during a space (if
three hours; when it terminated, the Brit
ish commanders ordered an assault, which
was made in fine style. The King’s works
were carried, after a very vigorous resist
ance on the part of the enemy. Theodoras
l"st, during the engagement, sixtv men
killed and two hundred wounded. The
English army had fifteen of the rank and
til ■ wounded.
A..<rthe work were completely taken,
Kog 1 heodorus was found dead by the
English soldiers. He was shut through the
h ad. Since persons say he was killed du
rai-' in' of the battles, others incline to the
opinion that ho committed suicide, when he
lound the fortune of the day against him.
lh" King’s body was recognized, among the
’ and wounded, by the British captives,
'• 1 -■ released. I'beodmus’ two sons were
l-do-n prisoners by Napier, amhall the Hn
ro|>"an prisoners, held by their deceased
f-'tbei, set lice, flic interior of the fortress
”1 M i gilala presented an extraordinary and
Mi "bid sight, the plate glowing almost with
barbaric splendor. The British troops plun
der’ dat once. The men lound fi.iir royal
troll ns madeiit solid gold, twenty thousand
dollars i:i silver ; thousands ol silver plates,
.-■(•Vi ral lots ol very rich jewels, and numer
ous other articles of great value. Gen. Na
pier takes, by bis victory, the twenty
tight large guns just used against him,
five thousand stand of small arms, ten
thousand shields, such as arc used in battle
in the open field by the Abyssinian*, ten
thousand spears, and many articles of war
equipment The liberated British cap
tives will start for home on the 14th of
April. Gen. Napier’s army will reorganize,
fail in, and return to India and England at
once. A dispatch dated Zoulu, April 18,
says the very latest reports had at that
point from tlie scene of action in Magdala,
repr sont that 14,000 native troops had
laid down their arms to Napier, and that
Theodoras had 500 soldiers killed and 1,500
wounded in the late engagement. Ad
vices from Napier's headquarters in Mag
dalti, without date, arc also at hand. They'
state that the Europeans lately held cap
tive there, numbering sixty souls, including
men, women, and children, were already
on (lie route to Zoiilu for home, and that
the entire force of Theodoras’ army had
been either killed, wounded, or captured.
At the meeting of tlie Board of
Education in Grand Street, several good
suggestions were made—that about gram
mar, for instance, which is no study for
mere boys, and which, even for adults can
be sufficiently learned from books and
journals. The great school defect, after ail,
is in the department of moral sentiment.
Boys arc never taught what to think. This
defect should he supplied by poetical read
ings and recitations and by readings of
history these last to he illustrated by the
teacher’s voice and a map of the world on
the wall. A map of the world teaches more
in five minutes than a hook of geography
in a year. Poetry is the best help of the
human intellect, opening and exciting it to
effort in the most natural and genial way.
These moral effects—as Mr. Huxley, the
Englishman, contends—are of tlie most,
vital considerations in schools. Teacher*
should talk more to the children —be teach
ers in fact, and not task masters—there is
too much tasking. Poetry for the mind and
ventilation for the body aro two great needs
in schools—though our fathers and grand
fathers would not believe it-—A’. )'. limes.
Wc have received from Allien#
(Greece), a thick pamphlet entitled the Kant
ami the West, by an Oriental aiul Funner
llili/ah. It discusses the relations of the
Greeks anil the Turks, the condition ol Tur
key, and the pri specie of the races ruled by
the Sultan. The Ex-Huynh comes lo the
conclusion (I.) That it is impossible for the
Christians to live in peace with the Turks in
Europe, as subjects ; (ibj That the Turkish
race cannot he civilized ; (3.) That all the
Christian rarns subject to the Turks are now
ready to shake off the Ottoman yoke. The
pamphlet is one of remarkable ability, and
its discussion nl'apirrcnt events, such ns the
(belan i traggle and the troubles of the Greek
Kingdom, is vigorous and intelligent. A\

llow to Kekv FitKsit Meat. — Perhaps all
of your readers nro not aware that steak
(pork and beef), sausages, puddings, etc.,
cm he kept fresh the “year round,” by try
ing and seasoning, when fresh, the same ns
for the table, packing down in crocks, or bud
cans, and pouring hot laid over them, cover
ing about one inch. When needed, scrape
off the lard and heat through.
This is valuable information to farmers
end others who kill a beef and dispose of a
portion at a low rate, and then are unable to
procure fresh meat during the summer. I
defy any one to detect any difference between
the preserved and the recently prepared.— S.
H. heif/es, York, Pa.
Common* Cabbvok fob Ghekxs.— Take a
firm, sweet head, cut it into shreds, lay it iu
salt and water for six hours; then place it
in boiling water until it. becomes tender;
torn the water off, and add sweet milk ; when
thoroughly done, take it up in a colander to
drain ; season it with butter, pepper, salt,
and a little nutmeg grated over it, and you
will have a nice, dish of greens.
