Ndlionalßcpnbltcan AUGUSIA, <»A. TUESDAY MORNING ...Wo |MOP - W*-—# g - ~ .|Ki mOhmM. Union—liberty— JnM icr. This is a Republic where the Will of the People is the Law of the Land. | (J. S. Gram. “ If 'atch over the preservation of tkc Union with zealous eye, and indiynantly frown upon the first dawniny of every attempt to alieno.'c any portion of the Country from the rest, or to enfeeble the saend ties, which now link toyeiker the various parts."— Washington’s Farewell Address. A Few Suggestions to “Country Cousins” Nearly every family in the city has u score or more of “country cousins” and acquaintances. And nothing is more unusual than for the. latter, when they visit Augusta, to call on their kinsfolks or acquaintances, and remain as guests during the entire period of their stay. Os coursq the townfolks appear delighted at being thus honored, and strain every nerve to make things agreeable, while the “country cousins” are highly pleased, ami finally leave with the idea that their departure is regretted. We know that it is the farthest from 1 the idea of the country people to im pose on their city friends; but they do ; so, and it is to point out this fact that we, a perfectly disinterested party, . pen ami publish this article. Be it known, then, that at least nine tenths of our honso-kcepcrs, no matter what may be their business or employment, , arc scarcely able to live within their income. They are not producers, and every article consumed by their fami lies must lie paid for in cash. With 1 steak at tweuty-iive cents; eggs forty five; butter sixty; ham twenty-five; cabbage fifty; chickens fifty ;• lard twenty-five; Hour thirteen to fifteen dollars; milk twenty cents a quart, and other articles in proportion, our country readers w ill readily learn how expensive visitors are who come and remain two or three days, or a w eek,’ or a month. We have known families who have actually been compelled to break up house-keeping to keep from being eat out of house and home by thoughtless cousins and acquaintances. Thus their children were deprived of the sweet influence of home because their parents were too good-natured to tell their f riends they were too poor to keep open house. This is all wrong. Particularly in these hard times, a reform is needed. No man has a right to deprive Ins wife and children of ■ comforts and necessaries to gratify a spirit of foolish hospitality. No man or woman has a right to quarter his or her. self on too-willing distant relations and old acquaintances. and eat «//» worth of provisions per month. Peo ple may say that is the way to be sociable; but it is not. It is either inexcusable, thoughtlessness, or unpar donable selfishness. But wo are told that the country people are ever ready to reciprocate with the most generous hospitality. Tluit is true; but they have everything at hand, and it is not, consequently, such a drain on their resources. But ter, eggs, chickcits, turkeys, ham, cab bage —in fact, everything except sugar and coffee, is raised on the farm. This is altogethor unlike going to market with five dollars and returning honie with five cents and a little marketing barely sufficient for one square meal. We may here remark that the most aggravated cases of visiting is not of near relations or very dear friends, but is generally of families who were ac quainted years ago, or cousins r ang ing from the fourth to the fortieth generation. We hope this short ser mon will open their eyes to the im propriety of imposing upon other people. Settles thi; Qv EBTIOX. —Much speculation has been indulged by the Press and ]K>liticians as to whether Hon. E. B. Wa.suugknk, Gen. Grant’s special champion when he needed friends, would be a member of the latter’s Cabinet. In the following brief and pointed letter Mr. Wash, burnb settles Mre question for the quid nu»cx: “So far as pvittieul position is concerned. 1 ain omtout with the one assigned me for the ninth tian by a generous :uid confiding cohsliluoncy. 1 know but little touching cabinet appointments, and take no stock in all the newspaper talk assigning me to this or tluit gjositHJii. The most I desirc is to see General Grant'smlministniUon a success, ami sec all the rights of all men vindicated and protected; to see. un honest, economical. dig nified administration of the Government, bringing to the people peace, quiet, happi ness, and prosperity. * , “ Vcrv trnjy yours, etc.. “E.

Both parties were equally active in mailing in this unauthorized manner. Ciiii:i .It sti. k Chase having an nounced to his associate* on the bench that there will be no consultation held un the constitutionality ol the legal tender act for some lime to come, the report that the question will be soon decided is premature. The Athens Hanner urges farmers to deposit their surplus' funds with responsible banking institutions, in stead of running the risk of having it stolen by thieves, by keeping it at their homes. The Republican has repeatedly urged the same thing. The Macon Telegraph revives the report that Hon. Herschel V. John son “thinks of making Macon his future home.” It is charged that Philadelphia manufacturers undertake their produc tions in order to discourage competi tion, and refuse to tell where their goods are sent. In 1800, $75,000,000 were invested in manufactories in that city; now it is estimatedslso,ooo,ooo are so employed. Organised Immigration. There arc indications that, after the inauguration of Gen. Grant, there will be something like a systematic effort by Northern immigrants tosettle in the South in communities. These proposed settlements will not be com posed of office-seeking carpet-baggers such as will join or betray any party, but {hrifty working men ami women. In this connection we reproduce the following from the N. Y. Tribune, without comment at the present time: The tteorgla Nationalist appeals to the loyal men of the North to organize four societies to promote immigration o£ Northern men into the South in communities able tp protect themselves. It proposes that 1 Ire first society shall comprise the New England States, and apply itself specially to settling South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The s?cond may include New York, New .Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and operate in colonizing Virginia and North Carolina. The third may comprise Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois, and should work in settling Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The fourth society should labor, in Wisconsin. Mipneso ta, lowa, and Kansas, for the settlement of Arkansas and Texas. The purpose of these organizations would be to send trusted agents into the South to ascertain the opportunities for business which are now open there by reason of the low prices of land and the abundance of labor. Much of the land, it is said, can now be had for a dollar or two an acre, which would have sold for twenty dol lars before the rebellion, and will lx- wortlt that price again ns soon as industry shall re vive and the country become productive and peaceful. The failure of many of the efforts to turn emigration Southward, which were made immediately after Hie close of the war, was due to the delay in settling the Reconstruc tion question; to I lie fact s the settlers scattered too much, not aiming to keep near enough together to protect each other; that they bought property when it was from three to ten times as high as it is now, running in debt for most of it, and losing all with its decline ; planted cotton on a falling market, without calculating on the fall; were inex perienced in Southern industry, and were set back by two successive unusually bad'sea sons. ’Reconstruction, however, is now set tled. Property has fallen to its lowest possi ble point. Gen. Grant will soon give peace and security to all. Emigrants going in communities will avoid the risks to person and capital incurred by those going alone. It is necessary to the st.ibmty mid peace of thei-oii.Krj- that Northern tmigratiou into the South shall be undertaken on a scale as national and imposing as the Northern inva sion of the South by hostile armies during the rebellion. Tlterc arc in all these States strongly Republican counties, which need only a few Northern white men to organize the colored vote and maintain loyal ascend ancy throughout entire districts which other wise must be abandoned to rebel and reactionary ascendency. < >ne county in Geor gia, for instance, cast only 58 votes for Grant, though it laid 1,500 colored voters. There was but one white Republican in the county, aud lie cared not to endure the dangers of a canvass. A few Northern communities in each county, sufficient to organize churches aud schools’ stores and mills, ami to introduce Northern newspapers, would suffice to sus tain the loyal sentiment in every such county. \Vc need 3,000 Northern voters aud workers in Florida, 4,000 in South Carolina, 5,000 each in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana, and 10,000 each in Virginia, North Carolina. Georgia, and Texas. If an immi gration like that which ixiurs Westward could now into the South for one year only, the Southern States would lie delivered front the nightmare which now oppresses their politics and industry. Who will organize and under take the work ? It must be clone from motives of patriotism as well as profit; must be ac tually superintended by meu of inllucnce, ability and vigor, and must lie carried through witli an industry and energy like that with which we carried on the great struggle for the Union itself. Are the right men aticl women ready to volunteer for the work ? If they arc, it can and will be done.

Frank Reno and Charles Anderson were married. After the bodies had been laid the floor in the jail hall, the wives of these two men, and Miss Reno, the sister of the three brothers, were permitted to enter the hall to take their last look at those who, although covered with crime, were, in their lives, all the world to them. Ah ' what a scene was there I What grief and anguish I what unut terable woe ! The three wdineii en tered paler by far than the dead bodies stretched out so stark and ghSstly upon the prison floor. First came from these despairing women such piercing shrieks as love only can utter when it feels that it lived for is lost forever. Then tears like rain, burst ing from overflown fountainsj and moans eouvMng in their plaintive-, ness and utter despair, that not even the most stolid could keep from Weep ing. Then followed that quiet,almost stolid look, a sort of blank, purpose less agony, that tells that hearts are breaking—that grief’s work is per fectly done ' Great God ; what a spec tacle of utter woe it was ! a sister’s oath eor vengeance. The outburst of grief ended, the quiet of despair settled uj>on the face of the women. But not Jong did one of them remain under the burden. The sister of one of the three Reno brothers—an intelligent and handsome young lady dried her eyes with her handkerchief ; then taking the grief stained piece of linen, she placed it over the lace ol her brother W’illiam, who to the last declared his innocence—- then she kneeled beside the dead man and laid her left hand over his heart, and raising her right one tpward heaven, she took the terrible oath— “Oh, my poor murdered brother! may God curse your sister if she avenge not your death, terribly and fully. This 1 will do, so help me God!” What a tragic scene was this. The dark stroug walls on all sides, and the cold stone floor beneath her knees. The sable garment of the bereft sis ter, the pale face turned upward, and the white hand pointing heavenward. What a tableau of death, despair, love and revenge.' —Among tbe white troops in the army last year, the proportion of death, from all causes, to cases treated was one to ninety-seven; among the colored troops the proportion was one to fifty-five. For the white troops there were nearly three entries on the sick report for every man, while for the colored troops there were over three entries for every man. —ln the Island of Goa, near Bom bay, there is a singular vegetable, called the sorrowful tree, because it only nourishes-at night. At sunset no flowers are seen, and yet utter half an hotir the tree is full of them. They yield a sweet snu-11, but the sun no sooner begins to smile upon them, than some fall oft’, and others dose up. The tree continues to Mower in the night during the whole year.
