the number of Catholic institutions
would be doubled.
A Funny Mistake was the cause of
Judge Barnard’s indignant charge to
the Grand Jury, and the consequent
indictment by that body of Air. Hay

appears that the article which excited
the ire of the virtuous Judge did not
appear in Air. Haymond’s paper at
all; but in the Jersey City Tinies, a
journal published outside of the juris
diction of the Judge. The indictment
of Raymond has been abandoned.
Many murderers are escaping mer

Chairman of the Republican Central
Committee of this State:
Wil laud’s Hotel, i
Washington, I). C. December 9, is<>B. j
Gentlemen—As I have been informed
thut interested and designing persons have
started a report tliat the effort now being
made to have tlie reconstruction acts en
forced by Congress is only done in the inter
est of a'“ faction,” and for the purpose of
placing myself in tiie Senate, I desire to say
—and invite you to make the statement pub
lic wherever it may be proper—that 1 never
have been, and never will be, a candidate for
any position, unless regularly nominated by
a full and free expression of the whole party.
My only ambition and desire is that the
law shall be so enforced in Georgia that my
self and family, and others who, like myself,
have supported the reconstruction policy of
Congress, can live in our native State as
private citizens in safety and with jieace and
quiet.
I am fully satisfied that if our Legislature
irad been organized as the reconstruction acts
required, it would have Wen a loyal body;
and loyal fruits, instead of revolutionary
acts, would have been the result. I am there
fore in favor of a strict enforcement of the
law, and the refusal by Congress of any
recognition of the unlawful legislative orga
nization in our State, because to recognize
that body would be an admission by the law
making power of the land that its laws are
mere buncombe resolutions, and can be
ignored and defied with impunity, and the
result will be anarchy.
The advancement or promotion of any one
man's, or any number of men’s, personal or
political interests have no weight with me.
My only desire is that loyalty and law shall
be supreme and respected al home as they are
here. Very Respectfully,
Foster Blodgett.

climate, or what is the same thing, health, of
rich soil, ot long lines of railroads and con
genial society make inducements such as the
South can not offer either to the ]xx>|>i< - of
die Northern Suites or to Eun>|xwis. I’besc
are facts which the Southern ]xnple will do
well to consider. The best thing tliey can do
is to go to work—to ad! in and to create skill,
to live in peace, to multiply and replenish,
and they will find use lor all their lands.
After they have fairly tried to live within
themselves, and failed, it will be time enough
to call upon Northern people, but be it re
membered that the North will rcqxrnd to no
invitntb n until these back lands are peopled,
that is, until there are people to spare.
All the above jjiay be, and doubtless
a portion is, true; but ii we are not
mistaken it is not consistent witli
opinions heretofore expressed by the
Tribune. The writer may be correct
in his assertion : that Northern people
are not readv to locate in the South,
and will not be until all the vacant
lands of the great West arc occupied;
but we radically differ with him. There
are thousands of persons w ho belonged
or visited the Federal Army during
the war, who are determined to make
the South their home. It is not true
either that as much money can be
made by farming in the West as can
be realized here in Georgia. We arc
sorry to see the Tribune throw' cold
water on immigration to the South.
We hope that paper is not more anx
ious to create new States in the West
than to vitalize the old States of the
South.
Georgia Reconstruction
In the Senate of the United States,
December 9, 1868, Air. Summer asked,
and by unanimous consent obtained,
leave to bring in the following bill;
which was read twice and ordered to
be printed:
A bill to carry out the Reconstruction
Acts in the State of Georgia.
■Whereas, in the act of Congress entitled
“An act for the more efficient Government of
the rebel States,” among which is enumerated
Georgia, it is provided that until the people
of said rebel States shall by law be admitted
to representation in Congress, any civil gov
ernment which may exist therein shall be
provisional only, and such States arc divided
into military districts; and whereas, in the
supplementary Reconstruction Act, bearing
date July 19.1867, it is further provided that
“all persons hereafter elected or appointed
te office in said military districts under any
so-called State or municipal authority shall be
required to take and subscribe the oath of
office prescribed by law for officers of the
United Statesand whereas it was the true
intent and meaning of the act above men
tioned that persons allowed to participate in
the .provisional legislation of any of the rebel
States prior to their admission to representa
tion by Congress should lake and subscribe
the oath above mentioned ; and whereas the
Legislature of Georgia, elected under and by
virtue of an act of Congress known as the
reconstruction acts, on the 20th, 21st, 22d,
and 23d of April, 1868, and which assembled
on the 4th of July, 1868, failed to comply
with the foregoing requirement, so that such
Legislature was never organized according to
law; and whereas, further, this Legislature,
thus defective in organization, has pretended
to act as if it were a legislative body duly
constituted, and has done certain things ut
terly unjustifiable, and requiring the interven
tion of Congress: Therefore,
lie it enacted by the Senate and House of
lieprrscntatives of the Uniiat States of Amer
ica in t'onyress oxscioblid. That the civil gov
ernment actually existing in Georgia is pro
visional only, and in all respects subject to
the paramount authority of the United States
at any time to abolish, modify, control, or
supersede the same, until a Legislature or
ganized in accordance with the requirements
of the act of July nineteenth, eighteen hun
dred and sixtv-seven. shall have auly ratified
the amendineht to the Constitution of the
United States, proposed by the Thirty-Ninth
Congress, and known as article fourteen,
when the State, according to the act afore
said, will be subject to the fundamental con
dition that the constitution of the State shall
not be so amended or changed as to deprive
any citizen of the United States, or State,
who are entitled to vote by the constitution
thereof herein recognized, except as a pun
ishment for such crimes as are now felonies
at common law, whereof they have been duly
convicted, under laws equally applicable to
all the inhabitants of the State: And pro
vided, That any alteration of the constitu
tion may be made to the time and place of
residence of voter's.
Sec. 2. Andbeitfurther enacted, That the
Provisional Governor-elect of the State of
Georgia be, and he is hereby authorized and
directed to assemble, by proclamation, at the
city of Atlanta, ou or before the first Wed
nesday in April next, the persons elected as
meinb’ers of the General Assembly of that
State, at an election held under and by virtue
of the reconstruction acts on the twentieth,
twenty-first, twenty-second, and twenty
third days of April, eighteen hundred and
sixty-eight.
Sec. 3. Aud be it further enacted, That no
person so elected shall be permitted to partici
pate in the organization or legislation of such
provisional assembly who shall not have first
taken and subscribed the oatli of office pre
scribed by law for officers of the United
States, unless he shall have been relieved of
his disabilities by act of Congress.
Sec. 4. And beil further enacted, That the
Provisional Governor-elect of Georgia shall
have i»wer, whenever in his opinion it be
comes necessary to carry out the purposes of
this act. or to the proper execution of the act
of the 2d of March, 1867, entitled, “An act to
provide for the more efficient government of
rebel States,” or of any and all acts supple
mentary thereto, to suspend or remove from
office, or from the performance of official
duties and the exercise of official power, any
officer or person holding or exercising, or
professing to bold or exercise, any civil office
or duty in such State under any power, elec
tion. appointment, or authority’derived from,
or granted by. or claimed under the so-called
State of Georgia, or the government thereof,
or anyjmunicipal, or other division thereof;
and upon such suspension or removal, such
provisional Governor-elect shall have power
to provide from time to time for the perform
ance of the duties of such officer or person so
suspended or removal by the apjKtintiuent of
some competent person to iwrfonn the same,
and to fill vacancies occasioned by death,
resignation, or otherwise.
Sec. 5. .bidii it further uutct.d. That the
I'resident be. and he is hereby, iliroctal to
place at the disjxisal of the Provisional Gov •
crnor-elect of Georgia such portion of the
army and navy of the Unital States as may
'lie required by him for the preservation of
the lives and property of persouh, the peace
and good order of the community, and the
protection of citizens in the free ex predion
of their political opinions.

t
The Supreme Court and the Re
construction Act*. —The reconstruc
tion cases have been almost forgotten
in the excitement of the Presidential
campaign. But the lawyers have
kept them in mind, as appears from
the following dispatch to the Boston
Advertiser ;
Judge Sharkey is here to look after his
matters before the Supreme Court as soon as
tliey can be brought forward after its session
opens. Governor Jenkins and Judge Black
have not yet arrived, and Judge Sharkey
does not know what course it will be advisa
ble to pursue in regard to the reconstruction
cases. That from Mississippi will probably
be acted on first. The special act under
which it originated having been repealed
since it was begun, the first question to be
settled is whether the Court now has juris
diction, as Mr. Sharkey contends. If the
Court should, after argument, go against
him, that would finish the matter. If it
should, however, decide in his favor on this
point, there would still remain the question
whether the Court has jurisdiction under the
act itself. The Georgia case is in a worse
]x>sition even than the other case. The appli
cation for an injunction, as filed by Governor
Jenkins, is against Generals Grant, Meade
and Huger, its corner-stone being the fact
that Huger was then acting as military Gov
ernor under the reconstruction acts; but since
the last term of the Court General Huger has
given up the office, and the people of Georgia
have elected a Governor in accordance with
these acts, and have consented to them by
also electing Congressmen' and voting for
Presidential Electors. It is believed that the
Court will, under the circumstances, find
some way to get rid of this case at least
without any more lime on it. The Missis
sippi case will probably be argued until
Sharkey and Black are convinced of the folly
of fighting the reconstruction acts any
longer.

Type-Setting Machine.—The Ra
leigh (N. 0.) Sentinel says Air. F. G.
Foster, of that county, has just ob
tained a patent for a type-setting ma
chine! It is composed, essentially, of
a key-board, type-boxes, a series of
conductors or conveyors, fingers and a
“stick;” but is minus a “typo.” The
machine can be set to any font of let
ter, so that only one of the machines
is needed by any ordinary printing
office for its diflerent kinds of work.
The full working machine is about
thirty-eight inches wide by forty deep
and thirty-two high, and can be con
structed at a cost not exceeding SIOO.
There is attached to the machine,
when desired, a permanent adjustable
gaily, which, with its attachments,
can be used by the operator without
change of position to strike ofl’ any
number of “proofs” required, thereby
making it a most convenient letter
writer or form-priuter for any office.
This additional arrangement will in
crease its cost.
A A’oung Giri, Killed by Whis
key.—Yesterday two workman, em
ployed in a bakery near the City Hall,
obtained a quart of whiskey, and each
took a drink. Leaving it. the pitcher
was found by a young German girl,
named Augusta Steffin, ami the entire
contents drank. The girl was but 15
years of agOj and immediately became
stupefied under the effects of the
liquor. Restoratives were given her,
but without effect, and she sank grad
ually until this morning, when she
died. The girl worked in the bakery,
had been in the country but a few
days, her parents still living in Ger
many, and has only one relative here,
an aunt living in the country. When
the body was taken to the station
house this morning, the flesh was
white as marble, excepting about the
neck, where the evid; nces of strangu
lation were plainly visible in the dis
coloration. An examination by the
county surgeon showed that the girl
came to her death as related above.—

Disastrous Fire in Yamacraw.—
This morning at two o’clock, as we
were putting our second form to press
a fire broke out in the range of build
ings at the extreme end of Alill street,
in the portion of the city known as
Yamacraw. There was a stiff breeze
blowing at the time, and the flames
spread with alarming rapidity, de
stroying the entire range in a very
short time. The fire communicated
to a tenement opposite, and the oc
cupants barely had time to save their
effects ere the houses were destroyed.
The two story wooden building in the
rear of the range also caught, and
when we left the scene of conflagrra
tion were nearly destroyed. There
was danger of several other buildings
taking fire, but efforts were being
made to arrest the progress of the
flames. The buildings in which
the fire originated belonged to Air.
Lapham, we believe. Those opposite
to Air. Solt. We could not ascertain
who owned the rear building, neither
could wc ascertain whether there was
any insurance on the property. There
were from to ten houses destroyed,
and occupied mostly by colored peo
ple. When we left the Washington
Engine and Engine Seven were on the
ground, and they, with the colored
axe companies, were laboring stren
uously lo subdue the devouring ele
ment. The tire is still burning as we
go to press, but wc hope it will soon
l>e checked. Savannah'Hep., 19th.
