BRIBING THE SENA TE.
The New York Worhl propones to raise
tcu millions of dollars for the purpose of
bribing the Senate, or a sufficient number
of Senators to acquit Andrew Johnson.
We should hardly suppose that such a
proposition could !*• made in enrnest. if it
wore not for the quarter from which it
comes: for it is notorious that hritwry is a
prime element in New York jmlitics. and
the World may suppose that what is so effi
cacious in controlling the New York Legis
lature may 1« as potent in the U. S.
Senate.
In thus judging Senators by its own
l*coplc, the World reckons erroneously;
and as the World has already declared that
the Democracy have nothing to do with
the impeachment of Andrew Johnson—
that it is merely a qunrrcl of the Republi
can party with a Republican President -it
is fair to presume that the World would
have not the slightest objection to have
Johnson turned out. Like the Democracy
here, the party North have no use for
Johnson if he can not or will not serve
their purposes. The proposition, there
fore. is more a bribe offered to Johnson
than to the Senators, and, if successful,
would make Johnson their most humble
and obedient servant, lie would be cheaply
bought at ten millions of dollars. The
whiskey ring and the counterfeiters, whom
he pardons and protects, could afford to
pay that sum. But the very fact of the
publicity given to the proposition shows
that the attempt to carry it into effect will
not bo made. Its only tendency will be to
cast suspicion upon those Senators who,
having once, by their votes or speeches, de
nounced the proceedings of Mr. Johnson
as criminal, now refuse to punish his crime.
Any apparent change of opinion on the
part of Senators is sure to be ascribed to
bribery ; for nobody supposes that all the
long-winded speeches on the impeachment
trial have changed a single vote. The
WorhTs proposition, therefore, tends only
to injure the ease of Mr. Johnson, and for
that purpose we believe it was designed.
/S LIFE WORTH LIVING?
What may be called the desponding
and melancholy school of literature is not.
by any means, so much in favor now as it
was in the days of Lord Byron. Then,
almost every stripling took to wearing
long hair and a turn-down collar, and
tried to appear pale and miserable with
unutterable woe. Hundreds of school
girls nursed secret griefs, or mourned the
loss of departed joys: and even older
persons, who should have known better,
did not escape the infection, but got into a
fashion of saying, if not of really thinking,
that they were the most unhappy of mor
tals. Since that epoch, there has been
such an improvement in the tone of public
opinion on the subject, that neither young
nor old make themselves ridiculous to the
same extent as they did ; but traces of the
folly are still to be found in the writings
of our romancists and poets, especially
those of an inferior grade. Every little
while we come upon verses or sentimental
prose full of lamentation and moping
over the emptiness of the world, the vanity
of earthly hopes, and the entire worthless
ness of life. Now and then, too, a first
class poet indulges in the same nonsense,
and awakens the sympathy of his simple
minded readers for his forlorn state of
mind.
That life has its sorrows and trials, is a
truism with which every one who lias
advanced a step beyond childhood is
practically familiar. Everyone of us lias
his peculiar troubles to contend with, and
his peculiar griefs to#bear. Disappoint
ments in love, ambition, and business ; the
ingratitude of children and friends; ill
health, poverty, and the innumerable
train of other ills that flesh is heir to, falh
more or less, to the lot of all. But he
who sees nothing but these tilings in life,
and persuades himself that there are no
blessings to counterbalance them, acts as
foolishly as he would to go abroad only
at night and judge of the world solely
from its hours of darkness. The same
nerves that feel pain arc also sensitive to
pleasure; the heart that mourns can also
throb with tender love; disappointment
’ implies the possibility of success; the
pangs of broken friendship carry with
them the promise of a newer and purer
sentiment; and so compensation follows
the steps of every loss. To take note and
brood over the one, without recognizing
the existence of the other, is not only
unwise, but it betokens a want of faith in
the goodness of our Creator of which we
ought to lie ashamed.
A certain class of religious teachers, too,
art: somewhat to blame for fostering the
habit of talking about the worthlessness
of this sublunary life. In order to make
the value of a future state of existence
appear greater in the eyes of those whom
they address, they think it necessary to
depreciate this, and, to induce them to
seek heaven, make them as discontented as
they can with earth. They do not reflect
that this world is as much the work of the
Master whom they profess to serve us the
other, and that they impugn His wisdom,
as well as His benevolence, in trying to
prove that happiness here is beyond our
power. If we will only omit wrong
doing, and perform our simple duty,
wherever we find it, there is no reason
why we should wait for death to introduce
us into the enjoyment of all the delights
of which we are capable. True happiness
springs from within, not from without, and
has its source in a pure heart ami a clear
conscience, not in the scenery by which
we are sotirrounded. *
ONE-SIDED LIBERTY.
“A Georgia Kdito*" write* to the Tiuut in
vindication of his Stale from certain aaper.
tioiu (as be deems lately printed in
that jourual. He (Sronouaces the hu Klux
Klau “a myth, a joke,” s<> Incas regards that
State;’ but the late George W. Aehburn (a
born Southerner) «lt«» not find it *o. On the
general count, he pleads us follows:
‘•ln reference to tlie al»tre of loyal man. It i*
only (he shoddy loyalists—the carpet-bug ad
venturers, benonth contempt at the North—and
the perjured renegades, beneath contempt every
where, that aro tlio objects of what you call
“abuse.'’ boyai uieu -men truoto the Uonstitu
iloh, Northern men who fought for the Union,
and Southern men who opposed tbo war, If they
remain true to the Union, and have not deserted
tboir race, anil sought to fasten negro equality
upon the Whites of the South, arc rcspcctod,
honored, trusted everywhere.”
That is to say : If they agree, or will pre
tend to agtee, with the late Rebels in their
assumption that “This is a White Man’s
Government,” in which lllacks have properly
no political rights—which is substantially
what they rebelled to established—Northern
men are not liable to abuse in Georgia. We
have not a doubt that this is a fact; because
that decided majority ol the people of
Georgia who have just adopted a Free
Constitution and elected Rufus Bullock
Governor, aro not rioters nor assassins,
and do not purpose to mob or kill thoso who
are of opposite politics; but if a Northern
man goes to Georgia who is iu sympathy
with the loyal majority of present citizens of
that State, he must look out, as is plainly
implied by the "Georgia Editor." We re
spectfully assure him that this will not
answer—that Georgia must be —will be—as
free to and as safe for men of our politics as
of bis. It may take time to secure it, lmt to
this completion it must come at last.— N. I”.

Nkgko Vomits.—The Democracy of
Georgia have probably elected three but of
the seven Members of Congress, and the
joke of it is. that two of the three were
elected by negro votes. To be in the least
consistent, Messrs. Tift and Young ought
to refuse to take their seats m Congress—
they ought to scorn an election carried by
negro votes. It is hard to say, since the
election, which is the “white man’s party,’’
or who, of the officers elect, represent it.

The President, yesterday, turned loose a
counterfeit r named Sims. It took the de
tectives one year to work up his case, at a
cos; to the Treasury of twenty thousand
dollars. He was sentenced to ten years in
the penitentiary, of which he had served one
year. Can anybody tell why the President
pardons counterfeiters and whiskey thieves,
about as fast ns they are convicted ? —Cin
cinnati Gazelle.
In auswer to the question, we can only
say that "A. J.” is doing what (lie unfaithful
and unjust steward did, mentioned in the
New Testament. He is trying to make
friends of the thieves, who arc robbing not
only the Government, but the people, so
that ho may have, probably, some per3 -ns
to do hint reverence after he is kicked "head
and crop” out of his present liigli poiition;
not wishing to sink down with deserved
insignificance, as he will a,suredly do, and
be compelled to resort to the “laiior’s goose
and shears.” his original occupation, which
he never should have left. See Luke, 15
chap., 1 to 7 v. inclusive.
J@* The Washington coneapoii'lcnt ot

increase of the army in those States, and a
law requiring each State to pay the ex.
peases of the troops kept within its own
territory. The Times doubts whether Mr.
Wade has said anything of the kind, as he
is not at all likely lo make private or public
declarations ot tlie policy he will adopt in

AUGUSTA METHODIST UNION.
Owe* or Skcrktaiiy or A. M. U., 1
Aeucita, Ga., May 8, 1868. j
Two months since a communication, set
ting lorth the necessity of a more perfect
union auiotig the Methodistg of this city,
wns addressed to tho Pastor and Board of
Stewards of St. John’s and Asbury
Church, respectively, by tho Pustor and
Bonrd of Stewards of St. James.
The objects of this Union, briefly stated,
are as follows:
Ist. The religious advancement of tho
whole Methodist community.
2d. The establishment ot benevolent and
chsrituble Societies for the iinmodiato benefit
of our own poor, and the poor ot the com
munity at large.
3d. Tho systematic dissemination of our
Church literature, and tho performance of
sundry other disciplinary duties.
To tho communication, above mentioned,
the Pastors und Official Boards of St. John’s
and Asbury returned an affirmative response.
The first conference under tho proposition,
took place at St. John’s Church on the
evening of March 23d nit., at which time a
Constitution was perfected and ordered to
be submitted to the several Churches for
ratification or rejection. It was unanimously
adopted, and under its provisions the fol
lowing named brethren were eleeted officers
and managers :
President. —Dr. I. P. Garvin.
Vice Presidents. —l)r. Win. 11. Doughty,
Isaac T Heard, I). T. Castleberry.
Recording Secretary. —Martin V. Calvin.
Statistical Secretary —Dr. Joseph 11.
Spears.
Treasurer. —Charles G. Goodrich.
Board of Managers. —ll. W. Hilliard,
John 11. Joues, Wm. H. Goodrich, Thomas
H. Holloyjnan, J. W. Horton, W. J. Pollard,
W. C. Derry, E. E. Scofiold, J. T. Patterson.
On Sunday, May 3rd, at 10 o’clock a. m.,
the tii’Ht anniversary meeting of the Union
was held nt St. John’s Church, on which
occasion the Statistical Secretary presented
an interesting report, extracts from which
appear elsewhere.
Bov. Arminius Wright preached an able,
eloquent, and instructive sermon from this
text:
‘‘The Lord hath done great things for us;
whereof wo are glad.”—l26th Psalm, 3 v.
The Sacrament of ths Lord’s Supper was
administered to upwards of, if not more
than, five hundred communicants, Rsv.
Bro. George 11. PatiP.o consecrated the elo
meets, assisted by Rev. Bros. Wright and
Calhoun.
It may lie proper to say, that Rev. Bro.
Caleb W. Key, Pastor of Asbury Chapel,
was deterred, by sickness, from participating
inutile impressive ceremonies ol the occasion.
In the afternoon, the several Methodist
Sabbath Schools assembled at St. John's,
when the children nllarnutely engaged in
singing hymns and listening to well timed
addresses, delivered by Ho. . 11. W. Hilliard,
Rev. George 11, Patillo, and Rev.. Armitiitts
Wright.
'The report of tho Statistical Secretary
shows the total number of Methodists, in
Augusta, lo bo eight hundred and forty four
(841) ; of this number three hundred and
twenty two (322) belong to St. John's: two
hundred and ninety one (291) to St. James';
and two hundred and thirty one (231) to
Asbury.

Altogether, the 3d of May was a glorious
day far Methodism in Augusta. The first
regular meeting of the Union, in its happy
developments, established the belief that, if
zealous i (Torts are made to accomplish the
obji-ets which have given rise lo the organ
ization, it will redound to the glory of God,
and the advancement of the cause ot pure
and undefiled religion iu our midst.

How to Cork a Coi.d.— Tho moment a
man is satisfied he. has taken cold, let him do
three things : First, eat nothing ; second, go
to bed, cover up in a warm room ; third,
drink as much cold water at he can, or as
he wants, or as much herb tea as he can ;
and. iu three eases out of four, ho will be
well in thirty six hours. To neglect a cold
for forty eight hours niter the cough em
inences, is to place himself beyond cure, until
the cold has run its course, or about a fort
night. Warmth and abstinence are safe
and certain cures, when applied early.
Warmth keeps tho pores of the skia open,
and relieves it of the surplus which op
presses it, while abstinence cuts off the
supply of material lor phlegm, which would
otherwise be coughed up. —Journal of
