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 ' yesterday. Poor Ranse I ’ * 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. —The negroes tn Austin, Texas, publish h newspaper called the Freedmen's Pros. 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. * ■ Tur. Sable Buzzard who does the heavy "writing for the Chronicle & Sentinel, in a characteristic attempt at wit, yesterday, demonstrated to the respectable people’of Augusta his eminent claims to be regarded as a low-down blackguard, as well as deliberate faisifier. It is fortunate that the dirty sneak who undertakes to slander, through the Chronicle, some of our lest citizens, is known to this and other communi ties‘east of the Oconee,’ and has found his level in trying to lie with the velocity and effrontery of the most vile and worthless of the party into which he has sneaked.

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.

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.
