IH.VSSKS S. GKAVT.
GASSING r*. FACTS.
The “Conservative" editorial l>lowrr«
excite our compassion. Than any other
■»et ot »uen known to history, they have to
undergo more disappointment. They are
always predicting to their deluded followers
glorious successes, ami the results are al
ways glorious defeat*. W ithiu the past
year the Conservative leaders and pajiers
have promised to their dupes a “glorious
victory," anti the poor creature>. w ith an
ticipations thus kindled into a bright flame
of joyful expectation, have of course been
terribly shocked when the returns came to
.punch their hopes in a deluge of Republi
can majorities. In our own Stats we can
not call to mind a Conservative journal that
did not predict a “glorious Democratic
victory" as the result of the late election.
It will !>o remembered the Convention was
called by a bare majority, and the Opposi
tion insisted that the returns were manu
factured by the General commanding : the
registration then sliowdd a majority ot
white voters, and a large number of whites
have since been admitted; some Republi
cans behaved very shabbily in Convention,
and the Conservative papers assured us
that a great many who voted for Conven
tion would vote against the Constitution.
Finally, when the election transpired, as
surances were telegraphed of the choice of
Gordon as Governor, and the Conservatives
all over the country felt very happy al>out
it. Rut tlie official returns show that the
Constitution has been ratified by 17,02!?
majority, and Bullock elected Governor by
7,220 majority ; that of the Senate 27 are
Republicans and 10 Democrats, and of the
House 07 arc Republicans, 78 Democrats,
and 4 doubtful. This insures the election
of two Republican United States Senators.
To a poor “Conservative,” this news comes
like a deluge ot the coldest possible sort,
and would give a dangerous shock to his
system, if, poor man. he were not useii to
such things.
WHISKEY.
i he tax on whiskey is $2 a gallon, hihl
the east of manufacturing it is about .>0 cents
a gallon. The current price of whiskey in
this market is now about $1.45 a gallon.
Whoever buys whiskey at this rate can have,
with bis purchase, if lie desires, an official
certificate of the revenue officers that the
identical whiskey which he buys for $1.45 a
gallon has paid to the Government the full
amount of $2 a gallon.
Assuming the above statement —in the
New York Sun —to be true (and every
indication goes to show that it is true)
the question arises How is this vast system
of fraud and corruption to be cured ? No
investigation is necessary to prove the
magnitude of the frauds : the simple fact
that Whiskey with a revenue certificate
can be bought for so much less than the
tax it pretends to have paid, is conclusive.
According to present appearances, the
revenue received from the tax on Whiskey
is only about one million dollars per
month. This will give to the Treasury
twelve million dollars per annum. In any
event, it can not, unless these outrageous
frauds be stopped, exceed twenty million
dollars per year.
From estimates which have been made
by the Washington lie/mbl icon, it has been
ascertained that Whiskey ought to afford
one-third of our entire revenue. We ought,
at two dollars per gallon, to realize at least
seventy-five million dollars, if not one
hundred million, and the latter is the more
probable sum.
It has been suggested, often, that the tax
ought to be reduced. Probably a dollar a
gallon would yield a better revenue than
two dollars. Rut, without honest officers,
and the most vigilant supervision, no rate
ot' taxation will be enforced.

'‘GEORGIA EDITOR /A RE If YORK."
The “Georgia editor,’' whose remarks eon
rerning the attractiveness ol his noble Stale
we have published, lakes the unnecessary
pains to reassure us upon one point which
has always seemed a great bugbear to
Southerners, but of which we have no fear.
After very sensibly speaking ot the material
advantages offered by Georgia, lie says:
“Rut theie's the negro—holding office and
perhaps wanting to marry your daughter*!”
And then he goes on to show how the immi
gration of whites will reduce the negro to
his proper place. This smacks of one of
tin oldest and weakest of the Southern
objections to negro liberation—the possibility
of social equality. But the question of iium
beiM has nothing to do with this matter; it
i ruled by the principle of the old proverb
nbout “birds of a feather.” A thousand
i.egrie might “want to marry ourdaughter,”
but we should have no disquieting fears on
the subject. If negroes and whites ever
prove congenial to each other as companions
they will associate as such, and no laws but
those of nature tan either prevent or en
force social equality.—Aw York Timex.
The Timex hits the nail on the head
precisely. The great “'bugaboo’’ of social
equality will work out itself. If white
men or women choose to be on social terms
and descend to the scale of society which
many of them are so much exercised about
certainly they can take the step, as many
of them have been doing in slavery times,
in contravention of all laws human and
divine- and arc now doing “on the sly.’’
But that is no general rule only excep
tional, it is to lie hoped. Now, that even
the Ku KluX organs of that party in
Georgia arc willing to accord all the rights
of the colored jteoplc given to them by the
law. we should have thought that the
“Georgin Editor in New York’’ w as posted
up, and could have made a better argu.
ment than he offers; and while he wishes
immigration to our State, or pretends to
wish it, he, would state the real facts of the
case, and not seek to get ont of a dilemma
by such subterfuges as he uses in his com
munications to the New York papers.
Upon this subject of social equality, as so
often paraded by the so called Democracy,
we have heretofore made some remarks.
We have no reason to alter a word we then
said, but are more and more convinced
of our proposition, that “social equality” is
a myth, which has never cidsteil, and can
never exist iu any community. “ Equality
before the law ” is not social equality, nor
can it be twisttxl or soreweyl into any such
condition, aud we are astonished that so
many otherwise common sense (K'ople can
find it in their hearts to iielicve, and try to
make others believe, a definition they know
is false.

THE WE A TIIER.
Ordinary mortals may rejoice that the
regulation of the Weather is not left to the
caprices and management of the grumblers
—whose name is legion. Great blessings
are not (infrequently meted out to us poor
pilgrims, in disguise; and w hat wcjthink
our greatest calamity proves, iu the end,
to be our cliiefest and highest good.
Look upon the greenness of the fields—
behold the waving grass. Examine it. and
you will find that at the root it is thick,
healthy, and giving every indication of a
vigorous growth and abundant yield.
What can be better —w hat more needful
and remunerative titan a large and on
abundant crop of Hay? This promise is
now ours, and this assurance is rendered
doubly sure that we shall, at least, in al
most all regions of the country, make a
splendid crop of this useful provender.
Turning our attention to Fruit, we may
say that here too we have a promising
prospect. If the season is backward, it is
not without its compensations and its
advantages. The germs of the fruit crop
having been kept back, so much greater
is the opportunity to get ready to bud, to
blossom, and to bear.
There is one other fact which it would
lie improper to lose sight of: The best
informed men upon the subject agree that
tlie sanitary laws which govern and bear
distinct relations to human Health have
operated to our advantage in this regard,
and that the cool weather has actually
been productive of much good in saving
its from desolating diseases.
Be this as it may, the bills of mortality
have at this season of the year rarely pre
sented fewer deaths in our large cities than
have been chronicled for the last few
w eeks. So that if we do suffer somewhat
from cold and wet, w e may look for com
pensating benefits in other directions. *
Tut: Attempt to Assassinate Prince
Ali'reo ok Knound.— Late mail dates from
Australia give some interesting particulars
of the recent attempt to assassinate Prince
Allred ol Kng'otcl, from which we take the
following :
The affair occurred a*, a pie nie given for
the bcneGt of a Sailors' Home, to be estab
lished at Sydney. The Prince bad been
invited in order to help the charity, and had
kindly gone, drawing the beauty, wealth and
fashion of the place. About half past one
the Prince arrived in a special steamer, and
the people collected at the wharf and cheered
lustily, while the Prince smiled and bowed
his thanks. Immediately upon landing lie
was conducted to the luncheon tent, and in
company with the Governor ol the colony,
Lady Belmore, and several others, partook of
some refreshments. Leaving the tent, the
Prince led Lady Belmore to a special pavilion
which had been erected for the use of the
elite ot the party, and then sauntered away
with Sir William Manning (an old resident
of Sydney) to enjoy a walk about the
grounds.
As he went along, lie met a gentleman
named Allen, with whom he shook hands
and chatted for a few moments, and then
handed an envelop to Sir William Manning,
saying that il contained a donation to the
Sailors’ Home. Scarcely had he finished speak
ing, when a man, whose name is now known
to be O’Farrell, was observed to run quickly
across to where he was standing and fire
with a revolver at the Prince, who immedi
ately fell forward, crying out “Oil, my God,
I am shot; my back is broken.” Sir
William Manning turned hastily round upon
bearing the report of the revolver, and see
ing that tlie man who had just tired had
pointed his weapon towards him (Sir W.
M aiming), he stooped to get out of the line
of fire, and in doing so fell. This time,
however, the revolver snapped, and while
O'Farrell was again leveling bis pistol at the
Prince, a gentleman named Vial, who had
witnessed the whole occurrence, ran up and
pinioned hi3 arm to his body, thus changing
the direction of the weapon, which, however,
exploded, the bullet hitting a Mr. Thorne in
the foot.
Meanwhile the report « .1 llio revolver had
drawn together the pic ulcers from all parts
of the ground-', and a .scene ol confusion and
disorder ensued which no words can depict.
O’Farrcll struggled hard to get tree from
Vial, swearing fiercely and loudly, and iu
the tussle the identity of the combatants
became a little confused. When, therefore,
the bystanders, who had now discovered that
the I’rinto had been shot, rushed in and
separated the men, they were uncertain as
to which of tin ni were the assassin, and
while the majority of the crowd pitched upon
the right man, Mr. 4 ial was also seized upon
and very severely maltreated. Alter awhile
thn police succeeded in gelling bold of
O’Karrell, but not before lie turd been terribly
and brutally beaten.
The people called savagely out “ Kill
him!'’ “ Hang him !’’ “ Lynch hint I” and
fought desperately with the police to
possess themselves again of his body, the
poor wretch getting a dozen kicks and blows
for every yard the, police progressed down to
the wharf, and, bleeding and unconscious
from the injuries lie had received, was con
veyed to Sidney, and lodged in i.ul. .Mean
while, the Prince had been raised from the
ground and conveyed to bis private tent,
very weak Irom tho loss of blood. An
examination ol bis wound, however, showed
it to be a very serious one, and, indeed, it is
strange that tlie bullet, entering where it
did, an inch or two to the light of thn spine,
uhout the middle of tin: buck, did nut pro
duce instant death, or, at any rate, more
serious results thnil it has done.

1. Mr. Johnson lost clmraeter when bo
disgraced the nation at his inauguration as
Vice President.
2. He completed his ruiu by denouncing
Congress while swinging round the circle.
Hcnco there is not enough left of him to
attract the sympathies of any one.
1. He volunteered to reconstruct the South
—a business ho had no right to meddle with,
except under the instructions of Congress.
2. It was understood and dwlwed by his
first Secretary that his work in the South
would bo subject to the discretion of Con
gress.
3. Betore Congress met, lie concluded to
lorco that body to accept his constitutions
and admit representation under them.
Hence, he so far overstepped the limits ol
Executive authority, aud so far infringed
upon the rights ol Congress that no one,
however much lie may have regretted llio
impeachment, will very seriously regret his
conviction.
4. To force his unauthorized polii y upon
the country he commenced an unappeasable
warfare mum Congress—and vetoed every
thing done by that body with reference to
the freedmen, the refugees and the South.
5. This warfare encouraged the conquered
rebels to a degree of insolence and oppo.i
tion to tlie will of tiic conqueror that would
not otherwise have been manifested, and
without which the mild XlVth aineudment
would have been accepted, and the Union
restored, a year ago.
The Southern lixmisr Convention,
after a five day’s session in Baltimore, has
adjourned to meet on the oth of May, 1800,
in Macon, Ga. Rev. E. T. Winkler, of
Charleston, was selected to preach the
Convention Sermon on that occasion. The
following extract covers all of the proceed
ings of the last day of the session which
possess public interest:
Rev. Hr. Jeter, from the Special Commit
tee on the preamble and resolutions offered
by Dr. Seely, which declare that the Baptist
Missionary Convention is a permanent
institution aud must bo sustained, looking
to renewed and earnest effort for the
religious education of the freedmen, the
introduction of anew instrumentality, viz.:
the Christian Colony, for the evangelization
of Africa, and the sending, at an early day,
largo bodies of converted freedmen to
Africa, to labor as missionaries.
The Committee recommended the adop
tion of the first two clauses of the resolution,
and that tlie proposition to send bodies oi
converted freedmen to Africa be referred to
the Foreign Mission Board for careful
consideration.
Revs. Messrs. Allen and Culpeper gave
short accounts of their labors among tlie
freedmen in the (south. The latter stated
the blacks wa re so governed by the Loyal
Leagues that if another minister belonging
to that organization were to demand it ot
the League, the blacks must nlten I his
preaching, and none other.
Rev. Mr. Howard offered a resolution
instructing the Domestic Mission Board to
enter into correspondence with the American
Home Mission Society, to ascertain whether
aid will not be furnished the appointees of
the Board in preaching the Gospel to the
freed men of the Southwest.
Rev. Mr. Thomas, of South Carolina,
opposed the adoption ot the r. solution ot.
the ground that they had already expressed
their readiness to receive this aid, and no
response had been received. He wnsagaim t
making any further petition in that quarter.
After addresses on the resolution by It v.
Messrs. Poindexter, Broad ins, Fuller, Wink
ler, Summer and Helm it was, withdrawn.

The Seuhen Death ok Dii. Paterson.—
In our notice of the death of Dr. James T.
Pat croon, prominence was given to the
rumors circulated on the street, which, after
a most careful investigation of the circum
stances attending his death, we are sati.di and
had their foundation only in the suddenness
of his demise. In justice to the memory of
this respectable and respected merchant, we
take this opportunity of correcting our
statement, being convinced that his death
was occasioned by an unl’orscen and unpre
meditated uce id cut. —Savannah Herald.
Gipsies.—A band of Gipsies, composed
of men, women and children, and number
ing fifteen or twenty, passed through New
nan Tuesday evening. They represented
themselves as natives of England, who had,
after leaving their native island, lauded in
New dirloaus, but finding that city unlit altliy,
were making their wav to Kentucky. They
were traveling in two-horse Jersey wagons,
and obtained a living by telling fortunes,
trading on muslins and horses, and repair
ing damaged tin-ware.— Ncwnan Herald.
Will the Democracy p! ni.se call a

President ? Ho is one ol the most brilliant
and able leaders on the continent, aud we
hale to see him left out in the cold. Such
talent as he possesses ought no longer to go
unrewarded. The success of the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency depends en
tirely upon his election ns President of
some Democratic convention, either in or
out of Georgia. Atlanta Era.
