GOOD NATURE.
Happy the man who can always be good
nntured. One who has no cross-grained
stuff in his composition. One who, if im
mersed in a tank of vinegar, could come
up from his baptism with a sweet smile
blooming oh the sour ground work of his
face. One who can endure to have a button
astray from his linen and smile at the for
getfulness of his better-half, who 'insists
■upon ‘sewing it on nt oner, ’ and puts her
taper fingers down inside the neck baud,
and, in her zeal to finish the job, allows the
needle occasionally to puncture the cuticle
in the neighborhood of ‘Adam’s apple,’
j. and gives a kiss for the stab. One who can
t endure an awful typographical error in liis
i copy and find it published to the world,
I. without causing lightning to strike every
case in-thc office. One who, if a politician
a with opinions, can be slaughtered in all his
J darling plans laid for success, and not
growl and grunt and grumble, and make
himself and everybody he meets feel as if
J they were passing through a thorn hedge,
r To lx: good-natured is to be blessed.
■ Especially is this virtue (susceptible of the
highest cultivation) essential in the edito
rial vanclum. The pen may be sliarp-
’’ pointed, the subject one requiring a little
t caustic mixed with tire ink—to tinge the
irony, give point to the sarcasm, or weight
s to the argumentative statement—but Under
1 it all, in the bosom of the writer, there
1 should boa conscious repose of the soul, a
? great sense of being at peace and on good
terms with ‘all the world and the rest of
' mankind,’a self-poise so firm in its founda
; tions that no ordinary earthquake that
f visits an editorial sanctum can disturb it
and under it a fountain of genuine good
■ nature that will bubble up ami let out its
laughing waters, spilling them over the
columns, so that the reader catches the
blessing and is made happier by it.
We can not all aiid always have our own
, sweet will, or our bitter will either. If
• nature made us iu disposition like a thorn
! bush, and with a tendency to the tyrant’s
’ spirit of dictum, and we have yielded to
the syren voice of vanity, and imagine our
selves made of clay a little superior to the
i common class of humans; *sl' we have
: yielded where wc should have fought
‘original sin in us,’ and cultivated where
: we should have weeded out the worthless
! vanity, then defeats in our purposes and
[ disappointments in our cherished plans arc
as irritating as a cataplasm of Spanish
, flies, and as distressing as an attack of the
, seven-years' itch, or a visitation from an
I army of the legitimate descendants of the
old, original, Egyptian lice.
Good nature is not only good philosophy,
but it is life-conserving. It invokes good
■ habits of living, absence of dyspepsia, gout'
, and that class of abominations which make
I life a torment, or so sadly mixtd as to be
: comparatively worthless. There is a dys
pepsia of the disposition as well as of .the
! stomach, and a gout of the temper as well
I as of the toe-joints. We believe the latter
i disease has a new medical term neural-
S gia. Well, there is a neuralgia of the
mind, and it affects the facial muscles as
s well as the tongue of the speaker and the
' pen of the writer. I7Je the Chronicle Os

s THE CARPET BAGGERS.
The Democratic press, more acute in in
. venting nicknames than arguments, stig
t nrntize as “Carpet Baggers" men who did
f not happen to be born in the States where
they npw reside. It is true they endeavor
to limit the application of the term to suoh
loyal persons as were Ixtrn in the 'North,
and are now residents of the fate rebel
s States. We see no reason why the term
‘ might not apply to disloyal residents of
I Northern States in which they are not
i native.
When the Southern members were ad
, mitted to Congress, Mr. Brooks was, so
. severe as to call them “Carpet Baggers.”
1 Mr. Dawes renmrkcd that Mr. Brooks
’ might be included in the same category,
since he was born in Maine, and yet repre
sents New York in Congress. Mr. Brooks
J replied that he carried a trunk with him
j when he went to New York. Notwith
i standing the shrewd reply of Mr. Brooks,
> it is evident that the odium attached to
the so-called Carpet Baggers does not lie in
s the particular manner in which they may
1 choose to carry their baggage. “The head
( and front of their offending” is, that they
. are loyal men, disposed to accept “Recon
'* struction” on a basis somewhat more deaa
-1 ocratic than that in which the old slave
oligarchy was established.
As for any other objection that can Im>
5 brought against these men, it amounts to
’ nothing. In this republic. State lines do
t not interpose any impassable barrier
". against a citizen of the United Stales. He
5 may remove from one State to another,
and if he wins the confidence of the ]>eople
t in his new home, may very properly hold
• any office to which he can l>e elected.
The loyal men bom in the North who
| have lately taken their seats in Congress
• as representatives from the Southern
States, resided in tlmse States long enough
to acquire legitimately all the rights of
citizenship and the confidence of the peo
ple. There is no conceivable reason why
, the people of the Southern States should
• not honor these men by electing them to
‘ office. There is no reason why men so
1 elected should not accept the offices to
i which they have Iwn elected by their
I fellow citizens.

TUR WHISKEY TAX.
The passage of the whiskey bill will at
least test the wisdom of the advice given
by those who reasoned that the tax on
spirits could not be collected, and that it
would yield more to the treasury if fixed
at fifty cents than at two dollars, As our
readers will remember, wc urged the re
duction of the tax on a different ground—
liecauMs it was declared that nothing else
would break up the combinations now ex
isting for defrauding the government. The
appointments were in Mr. Johnson’s hands.
The whiskey ring had rendered him effi
cient service. He had already made such
appointments as to leave no doubt of his
disposition to consult its wishes. Impeach
ment had failed. There was neither time
to mature a good civil office bill, nor to
effect any thorough reform by legislation
in the civil service. A Residential election
was approaching, and it was of great im
portant to remove as far as possible this
engine of corruption- from the political
arena. Whether the bill will altogether
break up the combinations for cheating
the government or not, is a question to be
answered by the experience of the coming
year. At any rate, it was the only course
which gave any promise of success.
But there were many who very strongly
urged the reduction, because they believed
that a larger revenue could be collected
from the tax at fifty cents than from the
tax at two dollars. They reasoned that
hundreds of distilleries, then kept idle
because the manufacturers could not afford
to run aud pay the tax, and were not
disposed or were not able to evade the
tax, would be put in operation at once.
It was argued that the increase of produc
tion would bring down the price; that if
would Ixicome unprofitable lor mairfac
turers to sustain tire costly combinations
then existing for escaping the tax ; that
the great bulk of manufacturers would
prefer to pay,. and thus, though the tax
would be only oue fourth as large, more
than four times as much whiskey would
be actually '.axed. The correctness of
this .opinion is to be tested by the ex_
pcriencc of the year. If it proves cor.
rect, or in the main correct, it is probable
that no attempt will ever be made to
apply the high tax now removed. But
if it proves altogether erroneous, anil
if manufacturers evade the tax as
generally as they did before, then
the ne,xt Congress will be forced, in
view of a deficiency in the revenue, to
devise some pew plan for making this jn
terost bear its share of the expenses of
(government. Thus it will be seen that the
whiskey manufacturers have it very much
in their own power to determine what tax
shall in future be exacted of them. If, aS
very many of them claim, they are heartily
sick of the extortions of sharpers and cor
rupt officials, of the risks of an illegal
business, and of the uncertainty of a t raffic
so conducted, and are willing to pay a fail
tax without any effort to evade it, tlren the
tax will be a low one, the revenue will be
supplied, and corruption will iu the main
cease. But, if the clamor for a reduction
of the tax has been only from interested
motives, and if the same men who have
heretofore evaded the payment of two
dollars now evade the new tax, the first
duty of the next Congress and of Grant’s
administration will be to apply new. meas
ures to meet the difficulty. Whether the
additional restrictions devised to prevent
frauds will be of greater service,-we doubt’.
Many have great confidence In them. But
dishonest dealers and corrupt officials com
bined can evade any law if they please. *

JUDGE WM. GIBSON.
For the at placing our fellow
citizen, Hon. Waß-tw Guison, right before
the people, we trsCjfer to our column* the
subjoined communication from yesterday’s
. Chronicle <1- Sentinel:
Augusta, August 3d, 1868.
General: In the Chronicle of the 24th of
July there nppeate a telegraphic dispatch
from Atlanta, doing me and my feelings very
groat inj ustice; 1 hope, however, uninten
tional. There are no people for whom I
entertain greater respect aud more kindly
feelings than the Germans, and I know, too,
many high-toned Irish geotlomcn to whom I
would willingly entrust my own and the
nation’s honor; heuce it would seem to me
impossible for me to have uttered the senti
ments telegraphed.
In speaking of our colored people on the
occasion alluded to, I’ referred to their
fidelity and faithfulness in the past. I had
trusted theta then and would not distrust
them now. Being now free and dependent
alone upon themselves, the inducements to
he kind, respectful, faithful and honest was
much greater now than then. 1 felt willing
to contribute in every possible manner to
their education and elevation, constituting
as they do our entire hope for laborers ; that
no right or privilege should be denied them
by the Government. ■ What individuals
choose to extend to them was and should be
left entirely to their own judgment, taste
and discretion ; and that as a class of labor
ers for our cotton fields, rice and sugar,
they were preferable to all the Irish in Ire
land, or Germans in Germany ; in short, to
all the people beyond the Atlantic, and I
will here add, or the Pacific ocean. As to
1 saying I preferred them as voters, or even
had a preference on the subject, I do not
. think it possible I could have uttered such
a sentiment.
1 do know that such is not my feelings
now, nor was it then, or at any time in my
■ life. At this time in Georgia I would be
willing to allow all bona fide settlers in the
State, after one year's residence, register
ing Und taking an oath to support the
Constitution, to vote. I would do this to
encourage labor aud capital to immigrate
to’ our State from every clime. I would
also do all that I could to keep contented
amongst us all the labor we have in the
State, that our soil may be tilled, mechan
ism improved, and our innumerable re
sources developed. Having placed myself
right on this subject, I will not trespass
. further on your columns. Permit me,
however, in conclusion, to say further, that
let what will come, I propose to be true to
tho American Union, hoping thereby to
promote the interest of my own native
Georgia, and at all times to adhere to my
race wlicn they do not propose to detract
from others, for 1 cau not feci at all ele
vated or benefited in attempting to injure
others. Vcry-respectfully, etc.,

BLAIN’S HAYTI AN MODEL.
Salnavc has accomplished in Hayti what
Frank Blair proposes to perform should he
by accident become President of the United
States. The little Republic, after the fall
■ of Faustin the first, was reconstructed, but
the President disagreeing with his Congress
has turned the legislators out of doors, pro
claiming himself the fountain of all powers,
legislative, judicial and executive, and is
now Dictator, with as absolute authority
as one can have when invested with the im
perial purple.
It is some such role as Satnave has played
that Gen. Blair proposes for a Democratic
President, liis supreme duty will be to
declare the acts-of reconstruction “null and
void, compel the army to undo its usurpa*
tions at the South, disperse the earpet bag
State governments,* and “trample into dust
the usurpations of Congress.” That is
Bluir's idea of Presidential duty, and there
is not a diseonted rebel or revolutionary
spirit in the land who docs not rejoice at
the prospect of a Democratic Dictator, who
will unite in himself the rights, powers, and
. duties constitutionally distributed between
the coordinate-feanches of the government,
Trnd ride as roughly -<vcr -all protestants as
SainaVo has ridden over them in Hayti.
’ Gen. Blair is not afflicted with a moderate
estimate of himself, and Crushing into the
battle in advance of his lentfer, has managed
4o make himself more than his
chief—a conspieuity, ft ni -tihsdless to add
fer the information of I how who know the
Blairs, which he intends to preserve throngh
’ out the next ad ministration, should the
Democratic ticket lie successful. It will
not be Seymour who will rule ftom cabinet
to kitchen, but the imperial,- revolutioiiary
Blair, wlmse idea of a government is that
it should be a one-man power, with himself
,at the head, and his “peers” of the la;e
Confederacy revolving about him as attend
ant stetellitea.— Clcrelanil Commercial.
