Grant. “ JFufcA orcr Meprt»en>fl6’on o/ the Union with zealous eye, and indignantly jrown upon the firs! dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of the Country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties, which now link together the various parts."— Wasiiinoton’s 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. S. W. An Ethical Question .Mr. Editor—Did you eber look out upon the sun, moon an seven stars an konsider wen de Lord made cm lie dident liab any more trouble dan wen He made a miskcetur ? If you hab, den you understands de philosophec of Sambo. Now, if you can konve iiiently come down to sub-sol-lunary and pleadical things, and take a squint at the sun, moon an seven stars of the Democracy, what will you see? Bah! The whole thing is covered by goose! De goose, howsumever, is of de male persuasion, datis a belligerent gander, an he fights de “carpet-bagger" an winks at de rebel habersack wid a hole hen roost in it. Don’t you hear de Dutchmans hol lering “don’t you niggers steal our dunder!” an de Irishman’s braggin dat Say nt Patricke killed all de louse in Ireland? Well, I need not ax you to come down so low as to took a squint at cm; dere knationality is enuff. Don't you see it is a darned sight better to be a Tootonicand Pad dywhack slave to perlitical masters, who lets sin vote, dan to be a nigger to vote under fire ? Golly! what a kuntry. Sambo. The Killing of Ruffin Mr. Editor:—l am glad you no ticed the very disingenuous article in the Constitutionalist with regard to the assassination of Ruffin.

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. e » The working women in New York seem to be pushing on bravely toward securing a fair chance of earn ing an honest living. They are taking measures to unite all w orking women in a league; and with considerable promise of complete success. —The Treasury Department has re reived a specimen of cannel coal from Alaska. 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 foreign letter says: “There is a spice of humor in the satisfaction which the Russian Government has lately given an aggrieved Prussian. The book-keeper of a mercantile house in Thorn was arrested last July in the Russian town of Ricszawa, by the burgomaster of that place, on 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.
