Farewell Address.
Our Minister to England
Some of the ablest and most influ
ential papers at the North have re
cently severely censured Hon. Rev
ekdy Johnson, Minister at the Court
of St. James. The heighth of his
offence seems to be that he has sit
down at public dinners at the same
table with Mr. Roebuck and Mr.
Laird, two conspicuous ami active
British friends of the late Confeder
acy, ami that he has met them cor
dially. It would really seem that some
of our American editors are miffed
because Minister Johnson persists in
conducting himself like a true gentle
man. How flimsy are the grounds
upon which lie is so roundly and elab
orately abused. Do these editors claim
the prerogative of naming the English
men with whom our Minister may, and
with whom ho may not, associate?
Their criticisms indicate that they
would arrogate to themselves that
right.
We are glad, on our part, that Mr.
Johnson has not been narrow-minded
enough to repulse gentlemen because
of their enmity to his country during
the war. Whatever we may think of
the course of Roebuck and Laird
during our American conflict, and how
ever transparent may be the fact that
they did us material injury during
that time, reflecting minds will remem
ber that the United States Ims no
quarrel with them. Its claims are on
the British Government. How absurd
for people to talk as if our great Gov
ernment were having a contest with
Roebuck and Laird! They are
not known in our international diffi
culties, except in the same manner that
John Smith or Tom Brown might be.
We claim that England connived at
the injury of our commerce, and we
now demand a reparation in dollars
and cents. This demand is popularly
known as the Alabama claims. They
have been the subject of diplomatic
correspondence for more than three
years, and yet no conclusion has been
arrived at. It is a matter of the
utmost importance that some agree
ment should be had between the two
Governments, and that the question
should be settled on some basis. It is
unwise to let it remain open and fester,
ami grow more difficult of solution as
each year rolls around. We believe
that Mr. Johnson will settle these in
tricate questions on an honorable basis,
if he is only properly sustained by the
Government. When he has done so,
and shall have returned to this country
a successful diplomat, the very jour
nals that now traduce him will be the
first to cover him with indecent praise.
Much has been said about the hos
tility of England toward us during
the war. Candor compels us to say
that, in our judgment, that Govern
ment did us much less harm than w e
would have inflicted upon it, if it had
been so unfortunate as to be in a con
dition similar to our own.
A charge of senility against -Mr.
Johnson, it strikes us, comes with a
bad grace from a lot of editors who
fawn and flatter, and disgust, with
snobbish attentions, nearly every prom
inent Englishman that visits the United
States.
Colored Suffrage.
The people of lowa and Minnesota,
on the day of the Presidential election,
voted on a proposition changing the
State Constitution so as to permit col
ored suffrage. Both States adopted
the amendment by handsome majorities
Colored suffrage is now absolutely
recognized in nineteen States of the
Union, as follow s : Maine, Vermont,
New Hampshire’, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
lowa, Nebraska, Tennessee, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri,
Arkansas, West Virginia. Upon certain
conditions they also vote in the State of
New York.
. Toeing Down.—The Columbus
Sun says that we have toned down
since the election. This is a mistake.
We are simply w orking now ,as we
have in the past, to restore good feel
ing among the people, on a basis of
security for the personal and political
rights of*every citizen. For that de
sirable object we have labored, and
shall continue to labor, until our success
is complete.
The Columbus Sun.—The editor
of this | taper talks about Our being
out of the redeh of our boots. The
creature would rather take a dose of
poison than attempt, to rcarh us with
his boots.
Why Not?
It is a well known fact that but lor
the strategy of the friends of Mr.
Pendleton, the candidate of the
Democratic party would have been an
entirely different personage from Mr.
Seymour, and its policy the antipo
des of the New York platform. But
for the bold coup of Wash. McLane,
through George W. McCook, of
Ohio, Chief Justice Chase would
have been the Democratic nominee.
And although the platform may have
been adopted by the Convention, the
candidate would have undoubtedly
kicked it frpm under him, in his letter
of acceptance, as Gen. McClellan,
four years before, repudiated the anti
war platform of the Convention which
nominated him for the Presidency. It
is well known that General Gordon
ami other prominent Georgia Demo
crats went to New York favoring the
nomination of Mr. Chase. From these
facts it will be seen how very narrow
an escape the Democratic party made
from organizing on a negro suffrage
basis, and uniting on a negro suffrage
candidate, who was also pledged to
protect the honor of the country in
financial matters. But,by the strategy,
as we have before stated, of the Bour
bon element in the party, the battle
was renewed on old issues, and lite
overthrow of the party and the repu
diation of its principles has been most
overwhelming and complete.
Now, why cannot the Democracy
do now that which they came very
near doing four months ago ? Let
them assure the colored people that no
further opposition will be offered to
their voting, and no intimidation w ill
be used to keep them from voting, and
that no force will be employed to
compel them to vote any other than
the ticket of their choice. When the
colored man finds the Democracy to
be sincere in such professions, we
shall expect to see many honest
colored Democrats. Why cannot the
Democracy say to Governor Bullock,
this State Government has been set up
against our will, but upon an issue
as to whether it shall stand or not, the
American people have decided against
us, and in favor of the legality and
permanency of the State Government;
therefore, disclaiming all responsi
bility for the manner of its creation,
w e will nevertheless treat the question
of its legality as a settled one, and
render no further opposition to your
administ ration than we have heretofore
exhibited.towards the administrations
of Governors of Georgia who chanced
to be opposed to us politically? Why
cannot they say to the white Republi
cans—hereafter we will not attempt to
injure your business, or to ostracize
you socially, or to interfere with your
personal prospects in any way w hat
ever? Why cannot, they say to the
stranger that may desire to settle in
our State—come ! you are welcome •
bring your politics and your religion
with you; you have a right to yours
as w e have to ours; we hope you will
make’a good citizen, ami add to the
wealth and prosperity of the commu
nity? If the Democracy will only do
this, we shall hear little more of Con
gressional legislation. This much it
is necessary should be done; and is it
not right ? There is no humiliation in
it. It is simply submitting to the
inevitable. Again we ask, why not ?
Eureka.
The sapient editor of the Griffin
Herald bears off' the palm. He has
found the remedy for all Southern
ills; and he patriotically proclaims the
fact to the world. His remedy is
absolute non-intercourse in trade
with cither Democrats or Republi
cans at the North. He tells the
Southern people that they must
neither buy anything from the
North, or sell anything to the peo
ple of that section. For instance, if
a Georgia farmer has two hundred
bushels of dried fruit, and a New
York grocer offers him §9 per
bushel for them, this editor’s plan
is for the farmer to refuse the New-
Yorker’s eighteen hundred dollars,
and keep his peaches for the worms to
cat, or sacrifice them for chips or
whetstones, to his neighbors. That
is what absolute non-intercourse
means. The editor talks about build
ing up factories in the South. That
is an important matter; but where
is the money to conic from ?
Our people have not got it, or if
they have, they act very niggardly in
not investing it. The best paying
property to-day in Georgia is the
stock of a cotton factory. All the
people know this, and yet we hear of
no new factories going up. The irre
sistible inference is, that our people
have not the money with w hich to in
vest in such profitable enterprises.
But we must have this money—and
the Yankee is the man to furnish it.
Let our difficulties be settled in the
mode suggested by the American peo
ple, and that money will come; and
perchance when it does come this mod
ern Solon, who now edits :i little new s
paper up in Griffin, may obtain some |
ot it tor his services as watchman, or
in some other character he may In?
conqietent to fill.
Consolatory.—The editor of the
Constitutionalist has his mouth all in
a pucker because Mr. Colfax demand
ed that the Union people ol the South,
and such others as may choose to be
come citizens thereof, may at pleasure,
and w ithout fear of molestation, sing
the old war song—
“ Down with the traitor and up with the
stars.”
We have a word of consolation for
our cotemporary. It, nor any of its
friends, need sing that song unless
they desire to. The editor of that
paper can sing to his heart’s, content,
“ Maryland, My Maryland."
Deserves Pc blic Sv mpatii y.—The
individual that writes for the Griffin
Herald believes the whole Northern
population have trodden him under
foot. His is a bad case, and deserves
popular sympathy. If something is
not done for him soon, he will be the
victim of the worst kind of “ Jin
Jans.” Can’t Fitch, of the Star,
get him to understand that he is not
hurt?
——- - -
Only One.—Only one instance has
come under our observation, since the
election, of a Georgia editor writing
about negro domination. That was
the editor of the Savannah A7i?cs.
He should be “bored for the simples.”
Communications.
Common Sense
Mil Editor—A new- era dawns upon
us; let Democrats unite with Republi
cans in the determination that it shall
have for its motto: “ Peace on earth,
good w’ill toward men.”
We have had enough of animosity;
we need more of the true spirit of
man —brotherly love and forbearance.
We have had enough of dissention ;
let us have more of concord, and less
of angry disputation. What have not
the counsels of bad men brought upon
us ? What irretrievable losses have
we not sustained by listening to the
insane harangues of men whom no
other than selfish motives uniformly
actuated? Let the striking contrast
between the four years,’s6,’6o; ’6l,
’65, tell. Look at the family circle,
and tell where arc the missing ones.
Think of your former comforts, and
say, where arc they? Why is it, young
man, that you find yourselves idle and
moneyless ? Where are the bright
hopes that illumined the pathway of
your happier days, gone ? Where arc
your educational facilities ? Say, kind
hearted parent, you who for thirty or
forty years labored with all your might
to accumulate money wherewith to
give that son, and those daughters,
such an education as would fit them
for the high duties of life; say, why
is it that in your old age, just at the
time you had fixed upon for so much
real pleasure, you discover your hopes
blasted, and the wealth of years
snatched away from you in a day ?
To these interrogatories, candid men
will answer: Because we disregarded
Common Sense, and honored the
poisonous teaching of unprincipled
Demagogues.
The past is past; we have to do with
the present, and, if we are wise, the
future may also be ours. Common
sense appeals to us to acknowledge the
situation as it is, and to conform to
our destiny. By eschewing evil we
may soon recover much lost ground in
the way of material property. Gen.
Grant is the Nation’s choice for Presi
dent. As the Constitutionalist says,
he is not to be esteemed an idiot be
cause he has wisdom enough to hold
his tongue. No, Gen. Grant is as the
Democratic press have all along
known him to be (and now admit) a
statesman, a man of brains, thorough
going and practical. He will have an
eve to the interest of the whole coun
try.
Let all men listen to Common
Sense, cease wrangling, and frown
down those whose delight it is to
work discord and stir up strife; then
will there be cause for rejoicing; then
we shall receive from the Dispenser of
all Good, blessings innumerable.

[From the Louisville Courier.
Another Old Man's Darling-
Out in Hickman county, Tennessee,
there lived, a bit ago, a family by the
name of Blake. The husband was forty
five, the wife not much more than
eighteen. It was a marriage of policy
—old Blake, a close sort of curmud
geon, being wealthy, and the girl's
parents, dazzled by his broad acres and
the money which the old miser was
said to possess, conceiving the match
a most excellent one. The daughter
demured—objected strongly, in short;
but the parents were inflexible. She
told them she was in love with another
man, but the mother said such an op
portunity as the present must not be
allowed to slip, and so Miss eighteen
was wedded to old forty-five.
Women have strange ways about
them, and the most bewildering sort of
conduct they sometimes display. The
young wife settled down as content
edly as possibly could be, to all ap
pearances. She made Blake fix up
the old mansion, w hich it must be
confessed, was in rather a dilapidated
condition. The former Mrs. Blake,
tw’O years dead, had been a meek,
uncomplaining sort of a body, who
bent ever unresistingly to the hus
band’s will, and in the old house,
which was to her a veritable castle,
despair had worked herself into tbe
grave.
The old man's second consort was a
much different sort of person. She
w as willful and proud and fretful, and
w heedled the old gent out of money
and finery w ithout end. Miss Eighteen
was up to a thing or two.
One day there came up to the Blake
mansion a young man of twenty-five,
clad in rough enough sort of habili
ments, which did not seem quite at
home on his person, and asked for em
ployment on the farm as overseer.
Now, old Blake, hard worker as he
was, and a great stave-ahead withal,
and parsimonious, as w e have hinted,
to a degree, began to think about
taking the world a little easier ; and
the fact is, when he, saw the young
fellow and heard his errand, he en
gaged him on the spot. Now, we
may as well say that the young man
was, in reality, the young lady’s old
flame, whom she had met on sundry
visits to Columbia, and whom she de
signed to wed in due time. But, as
we have seen, the plans of the old folks
strangely interfered with this arrange
ment. Things passed oft' very pleas
antly in the family for some time, but
at last old Blake, who was suspicious
enough, that’s a fact, detected famil
iarities between his wife and his over
seer, whom he never dreamed had seen
each other before the latter came to
his house. The monster of jealousy
took the firmest kind of hold on old
Blake, and he sent the young man
adrift with a most pointed admonition.
It w asn’t more than a fortnight after
this that the old gentleman went away
to Pulaski, on business, for a couple
of days, When he returned, Mrs.
Blake xvas gone; so were sundry
valuables in the house, including a
bundle of greenbacks—§soo or more.
A span of horses were missing from
the stable, and a wagon. Tbe neigh
bors didn’t know’ anything about all
this, and the two, or rather three house
servants were away. They came back,
however, toward evening, saying their
mistress had given them permission to
visit relatives miles away. Blake saw
it all, and away he rushed to Vernon,
and thence to Stnedeville, where lie
learned that a couple, w hom he made no
doubt were his wife and the overseer,
had taken the cars for Nashville. On
he went to Nashville, and last Satur
day was inquiring there for the
fugitives. He learned enough to lead
him to belivc they had taken the cars
for Louisville, and he hastened to this
city. The old chap seems considera
bly excited, and there is reason to
believe it will not be a bit healthy for
that youg man if old Blake should
happen to catch up with him.

Effects of Jealousy.—M. An
dreoli, a Russian writer, who was
exiled some years ago to Siberia, is
now contributing to the llerue Mod
erne under the title of “Souvenirs do
Siberie,” his recollections not only of
Siberian, but also of Russian life. In
the last number of the Reeae he tells
a story, the end of which belongs to
the present reign, the beginning to
the reign of Paul, of whoso period it
is strikingly characteristic. The Em
peror’s favorite was at that time a
young French actress, of whom ho
was madly jealous. One evening, at
a ball, he noticed that a young man
named Labanoif was paying her a
great deal of attention. He did not
lose his temper, but at the end of the
ball gave orders that Labanoft’should
be arrested and throw n into the cita
del. He only intended to keep him
there a few days, “to make him more
serious,” after which he proposed to
reprimand him and to appoint him to
an office w hich had been solicited for
him. Labanoft', however, was forgot
ten. “At the death of Nicholas,
Alexander IL, then full of magnan
imity, liberated al] the prisoners in
the citadel without exception. In a
vaulted tomb, in which it w’asimpos.
sible to stand upright, and which was
not more than two yards long, an old
man was found, almost bent double,
and incapable of answering when
spoken to. This was Labanoft'. The
Emperor Paul had been succeeded by
the Emperor Alexander L, and after
ward by the Emperor Nicholas; he
had been in the dungeon more than
fifty years. When ho was taken out
he could not bear the light, and, by a
strange phenomenon, his movements
had become automatic. He could
hardly hold himself up, and he had
become so accustomed to move about
within the limits of his narrow cell
that he could not take more than two
steps forward without turning round,
as though he had struck against a
wall, and taking tw o steps backward,
and so on alternately. He lived for
only a week after his liberation.”

The American Bible Society.—
About twelve years ago Mr. William
Devoe, of New York city, died and
left a property chiefly in real estate.
By will he made ample and specific
provision for the support of his w ife,
and he left no children. By the terms
of his will, the American Bible Society
Was made the residuary legatee. Since
the death of the testator, the property
has been rising in value, and it has
been faithfully administered by the
executor, J. J. Cisco, Esq. A few days
since Mr. Cisco paid over to the Amer
ican Bible Society the sum of §151,000
as part of the avails of this legacy, and
on the death of the widow of the tes
tator something more, perhaps §75,000,
will be coming to the same institution.
This legacy is a most timely and prov
idential assistance to the society, w hen
it is straining every nerve to meet the
foreign as well as domestic demand for
the Holy Scriptures. Within the last
three years it has been obliged to
expend more than §150,000 upon the
single field of Levant, and the printing
of the Arabic Scriptures alone has con
sumed about §60,000.

a perfectly unfounded charge of an
intention to smuggle. Although the
book-keeper succeeded in establishing
his respectability, he was thrown into
a dirty prison cell and kept there
twenty-four hours. His principal, of
course, complained of this most un
justifiable treatment, and has lately
received an official communication
that the burgomaster has also been
imprisoned twenty-four hours, and in
the same prison in which he had shut
up the unhappy book-keeper.
