BLAIR’N POLICY INAUGURATED -
CITIZENS BANISHED.
The last number of the Covington (Ga.)
Examiner continues the annoitticenumt
that “two carpet bag school Lel
and Hammond,” having “reeeive<l a gentle
admonition that their valuable services
might possibly be more appreciated in
some other latitude, took an affectionate
adieu 'of their associates, and on Monday
last turned their faces towards Mason and
Dixon's Line.” This is u roundabout way
of stating that the Democrats of Coving'
ton threatened to mob these, persons if
they did not leave the county. Tlreir
crime was—teaching the colored cluldrcn
tile simplest rudiments of education. This
the Covington Democrats (does not
consider a “legitimate avocajiou.”—
Wherein is the wrong/ The Democrats wilj
not tench the negroes themselves, nor will
they allow others to do so, under the
penalty of banishment. If we have such
incidents as this of which the Examiner
boasts, in the green tree, what may we not
expect in the dry ? ,
But, gentlemen, tin's policy will imt win.
It cannot long be tolerated. Rather than
it will be submitted to, tire teeth Os Jout

what the flag means. Democrats inay bully

A OLD MAN.
Jesse R. Grant, the father of his son,
needs looking after by some kind friend
of the General. The latter's great achieve'
ments and remarkable popularity seems to
have turned the old fellow’s head. He is
the opposite of the General in reticence, as
he is in everything else. If he would rest
content with the expreiwion of his own
opinions he would not Ire quite so mfjch of
a nuisahce; but he takes upon himself the
authority to speak for his son. For in
stance, he recently wagged his tongue, in
I conversation with one of those indescriba
ble creatures known as a migratory news-

manner, in stating that his son lintl a very

with the Boatoil Herald correspondent, in
answer to the question, “You think, then,
that Seymour has no chance of an elec

him and make room for Blair. Assassi

when the opportunity offers. Nothing but

me they would hurehnd Pinw.ps over them,

as Johnson’s South Cardura Legislature
adopted in 1865, they can reap the profits es
the black man’a toil without the expense us

When General Grant made known his ,
plan to ft council of his Corps Commanders
not one approved it. The plan was opposed
to military rule. Il severed his army from
, the North and its supplies. If not an im
mediate success, it must end in overwhelm
ing disaster. All his officers —Sherman,
McPherson. Logau,. Wilson, all able men,
all attached to their commander and anxious
he should not fail—argued the points against
the project. Sherman, after reflecting, could
not restrain himself from renewing the de
bate. Grant knew his friendship, his sin
cerity, and his ability. Sherman even rode
tip to Grant's headquarters the next day,
nrtd presented his views, respectfully, of
course, but earnestly, as an earhosl man
docs everything.
He assured Grant tfiiit the only way to
take Vicksburg was to move on it from some
high ground as a base, on the north. “This,”
said Grant, “will require us to g<» back to
Mem pins.”
“Exactly so,” said Sherman, and set forth
his reasons with the intciisity of couvlcttoq
and the ingenuity aud ability of au able
soldier.
Gract replied, “1 shall take no step hack l
ward; it would seem to the country, now
discouraged, like a retreat. 1 have c<>n.JJ

Sherman left; but tlie Strength of his con

carefully committed his views to paper, and
on the Bth of ApriHorwarded them to head

THE SPANISHRVUTELLTOIT,
Our dispatches daily give more or lose
definite information of the progress of the
rebellion agmwi the authority of Queen
Isabella, of Spain. That imbecile t sover
eign has few sympathizers, either in flic Old
or New World. • _A
The New York Sun says :
It would not be a bad thing to have Queen
Isabella turned out of her place ns monarch
of Spain. A coarse, violent woman, despised
lor her vices, and -uol respected for iuiy
counterbalancing tafenls, she has lo'itg been
looked upon with aversion by the more intel
ligent nn(t virtuous, uAt only of tfie Spin-1
jards, but of the work! in general.
It is now thirty-five years sinew Isabella
became Queen. ' Ten years of this'time
were spent under the regency ol her mother,
and iu October, 1813, sire was doolurud of
age, aud assumed the din»c|iott of the Gov
ernment. How many insnrreettotrs have
marked
that faction sought by farce to g*' ll power,
how Espartcro Ims given place to Narvaez,
and Narvaez to O'Donnell, and how, under
all these ehaugte of .violence and hrttigde,
the monarchy was steaffily stmk in the fcfai
sideration of the people, wc shall not attempt
to recount. Neither .is it certain that the
fireseni uprising, whose fiend is believed to
>c Gen. Prim, is any more sure to suceeed
than that which J’rim set on foot two years
ago; bift the fact that Isabella ha? gone to
ask Ifiuis Napoleon to help her looks as if
she was serkmsly afraid of danger.
The .Spanish people have made great ad
vances in wealth and intelligence during this
quarter of a century. They are really ahead
of theft Government, and ready fora change.
What kind of a change they want, the event
Tf thev sEnnlH seeCeetl !U
pelllng tie; Queen to abdicate, they might
place her oldest daughter and natural suc
eessor, rhe Infanta Maria Isabella, on the
throne fa her place. This young lady is
seventeen years old, but concerning her
character and capacities we have no infor
matiem With such a mother, however, she
must be a bril girl. Or they may possibly
try to give the Beeplie to Isabella’s sister,
the Infanta Maria Louisa, who is now thirty
six year* old, and married to the Duke of
Meutpcnsier, a son of Louiu Philippa. The
recent banishment of those personages front
the kingdom shows that Isabella is afraid of
them; aud one of the points of her appeal
to Napoleon doubtless relates to the dis
pleasure it would cause him to see one of
the Orleans princes wearing the Spanish
crown. :
But speculation on these topics is very
much in the air. A few days will reveal
what reality there is in the insurrection, aud
in w|iat direction its guides intcud to toad it.
GEN. DI.V ON*MR. SEYMOUR.
' A Scathin') Commentary on that Gentleman.
* Paris, September 4.
My Dear Sir:— lt was my hope that my
distance from home would have saved me
from all Jiariicipatiou in the political ex
citement prevailing there, but I notice in
one of the newspapers that I am heart and
hand with Mr. Seymour. lam not awars of
anything in the present or past which could
rightfully subject me to such an imputation.
I have with Mr. Seymour
more than a quarter of a century.- He is an
amiable gentleman of unexceptional private
ehuraetcr and rcspecffible talents, but you
know as well as I that he has not a single
qualification for the successful execution of
the htgh official trust to which he has been
nominated, and he is especially deficient in
that firmness of purpose which, in critical
emergencies,’ is the only Safeguard against
public disorder and calamity. He has becij
twice, at different times, -Governor of the
State of New York, and he has, in neither
case, had talent or tact to keep the Damo*
eratic party of the State together more than
two years. I should regard his election at
this juncture, wbcfi steadiness of purpose,
1 decision- and soil-control are so much needed,
as one of the greatest calamities that could
befall tlte
Moreover ho has been put in nomination
by a convention wlitoh has openly declared
the purppse of those it represents, to pay
the greater partof the public debt oontract
i ed to preserve the - Uaton in , depreciated
, paper. Such a measure would, in my
. judgment, W a palpable violation of the
public faith, pledged under circumstances
which shoulfi hate ImCn binding ou all hon
orable men. 'Seymour has made public
speeches to show that it is our duty to pay
J the debt fa specie' In accepting his nomi
>■ nation to the Prffsiccncy, he adopts the
declaration-that it ought to be paid in paper.
I know ftqfhing so humiliating in the bis
' toty pf American politics as this tergiversa
tion. *
it was perhap;. not unfit that Mr. Seymour,
aftelt. presiding in 18(11 over the Chicago
p Convention, which declared the war a
failure, should preside over the Convention
of IwS, in which a proposition Io discredit
■ .the delft contracted to carry on the war. was
received with tremendous' cheerjng, and
that he jfiOuld be the choqcn instrument to
execute this act of national turpitude.
I do not believe that the wishes or
opinions of tho great body of the Democratic
party are fairly expressed in these pro
ceedtogs- They have nothing iu common
with the statesmanlike views of policy, and
the high sense of national honor which
guided the party when Marlin Van Buren,
William L. Yaneey, Silis Wright, Lewis
Cass, and Stephen A. Douglas were among
its must conspicuous members.
I sce’bet one source of safety fur tire coun
try wider sxlstiog ejrcumstances, and that
is tho election of General Grant. Onida
decision of character, good sense, modera
tiem and disinterested patriotism, I believe
tho South will have a far better hope of
regaining the positron in the Union to which
it is'entfttod, than uader a man whose polit
ics,! carqer has been iu nothing more con
spicuously njatketl utter infirmity
of purpose. ludepenffruHbf or all these cotJ

the victorious arms of the Uiubn into Vicks

countrymen were pourin* out their blood on

A MODEL JUDGE.
w ? lire at all times disposed to do u !
political opponent justice, and it is with
pleasure Hiat we now have an opportunity
to do so.'JOur Judge, Parrott, has pre
sided one week upon the bench ,of the
Superior Court of this county, and so sys
tematic is Iris mode of conducting bustness,
and the promptness and ability with which
he does it, has elicited almost universal
praise from nearly every one who attended
Court lost week. So strict is be in pre
serviag order, that the business of the
Court progresses smoothly and without the
usual confusion attending onr courts. The
Attorneys have hut to present their
points, and ho seems to compre
hend them, almost by intuition, ami
eoMtei] uently makes piompt decisions, with
out consuming the time ol the Court in list
ening to long speeches on minor points of
law. He is closing up the docket much
more rapidly than any Judge we have ever
seen on the bench, and at the same time
seems determined to give every one ample
justice. Our dockets are encumbered with
numerous old eases which have been con
tinued from term to term, on account of
absent parties and witnesses. Judge Par
rott has set out to clear the dockets over
those old eases. If a plaintiff is absent and
not represented, his case is stricken—if wit
nesses are absent, he issues an order to the
Sheriff to send after and arrest them, and
bring them into Court, and unless they
have a lawful excuse they are fined*.
Juries, witnesses and panics would do
well to attend Court where Judge Parrott
presides, or they will suffer for their neglect.
If Jadge Parrott continues as he has com
menced, and who that knows his energy
' doubts that he will, he will greatly shorten
tue terms of the Courts where he presides,
1 greatly lessen the expenses upon the cOuh
ties. As it is his mode to send after absent
witnesses, but only few criminal cases will
be continued, and the jails cleared every
Court.
Judge Parrott is commissioned to be our
Judge for the next eight years, and it is
gratifying to all lovers of good order, peace
and Justice to know that he has so early
. received the plaudit of “ A Model Judge.”
From the N. Y. Times.
• GRANTS FINANCIAL ABILITIES.
In the talk which one of our Western
correspondents had with General Grant’s
• father, a few days ago, the old gentleman
spoke of one trait of his son’s administra
tive genius which is of the highest im
portance, in view of the financial state of
the country. He alluded to Gen. Grant's
financial genius as displayed in the extra
ordinary economy of bis military adminis
tration of his campaigns. In striking
language he said:
“ Why, just look at Gen. Grant’s cam
paigns. Don’t they show great financial
abilities ? Who ever hoard of such results
at so small an expense ? Rosecrans stopped
in front of Murfreesboro and Chattanooga
six months, while millions of dollars were
. wasted. McClellan spent untold sums in
the Virginia swamps. But Ulysses was
always ready to “ move uponjthe enemy’s
• works.” If you will look into the matter,
you will see that the Vicksburg campaign
was the only expensive one he conducted.”
We remember that, during the war, wc
took frequent occasion to eulogize General
Grant concerning this very matter. Op
taking charge of the army, or a division of
an army, or in taking control of military
• operations in any given region of country,
he at once dispensed with three-quarters of
the paraphanalia, and. the cumbrous and
expensive machinery of transportation,
supply and armament, which were found
necessary by other commanders. In this
i tray he saved hundreds of millions of dob
. .lavs to the country. Wc have not the
. .slightest doubt that he will apply the same
i effective genius to the civil economies and
t expenditures of the Government as soon as
( he becomes President
