When u Republicanism f
W* really look In vain for on abiding
place of Republicanism, u understood
in ita brood American sense. Perhaps
within the little territorial limits of An
dorrs and San Marino, in the mountain
fastnesses of those wild regions, the
Goddees of Liberty may hare a habita
tion, and Democracy deal out pure Re
publicanism, by honest hands to honest
citizens. It not, we shall indeed look
in vain for it. It does not surely dwell
within the geographical limits of the
United States of America—so called j
though Fourth of July Orators and Rad
icsd stump speakers, in their Clatant ap
peals to pbrensied mobs speak of it and
jacohinical editors write of it, as though
it had, real and tangible existence here.
The time was when it did exist—when
the good sense of the American people
trampled down nil qorts of fanaticism,
and walked in the broad and bright path
of the Constitution and the Laws. But,
alas ! that time has passed, aud with it
has gone Republicanism, State Rights,
and the poor Constitution I Now we
hare neither. It ia true we are told by
the class of orators and editors alluded
to above that we have all these blessings,
and that Radicalism is simply the root
of eaoh aud all of them, struggling
against the sterile soil of secession and
rebellion. But “facts speaks plainer
than words,” and these furnish proof
strong enongh to show that they exist
only in name.
Count Bismarck, of Prussia, is report
ed by a correspondent of the New York
Tribune, to have said:
In a Government by written constitu
tion there is no such thing as an abso
lute right on either side. A right abso
lute in terms must be subject to limila
tion in practice when its exercise comes
in collision with another right equally
perfect iu theory, as must often be the
case. Both nre rights,' but their co-en
joyment may prove quite impossible ;
then one must give way, and the wel
fare of the State must determine which.
Be sure that, in a parliamentary consti
tutional government, if you adopt the
maxim, fiat justitia, pereat ntundns, it
is the pereat mundus that will always
come upon yon.
There is a world of wisdom iu that
expression, and we have only learned
it at the cost of years of sad experience.
A ruling mob has no respect for Consti
tutions which stand in its way ; and,
says Count Bismarck (as quoted by the
Richmond, Va., Dispatch ): “If justice
must be done, or the world perish, or be
lost, you may be sure that your world
will perish 1”
This is the truth, but it is not Repub
licanism. It ia tyranny. It is moboc
rasy. It is anarchy. It is anything
you please. But it is not Republican
ism. In a Democratic Republicandorm
of Government, tho majority must rule;
but the minority have rights, also,
which, gnarded by t|, ft w titu
tion, must be held sacred e pro
tected. In the United States, the very
reverse is held. The minority now
rules, while the rights of the majority
are, or rather the policy of the majority,
is ignored and trampled upon. This tact
is enough, of itself, without further argu
ment, to convince the most skeptical
that we have no Republicanism in this
country. The Radical party which has
carried the recent Northern State elec
tions by large majorities, is a minority
party, yet it holds the legislative author
ity, and by numerical representative
superiority seeks to coerce a majority in
number, bat not in representation, to
adopt its policy.
The following article, which is taken
from the Philadelphia Age, will sustain
our position by its facts, its figures, and
its conclusions:
■ A' Victory for tuk Minority.— The
United States is now governed by a
minority. The old idea that the majority,
under a Republican form of goverment,
could at all times shape the laws, con
trol the foreign and domestic policy of
the country, and take care of the consti
tutional liberties of the people, has been
entirely repudiated by the Radicals.
About two-fifths of tbo-voters of the na
tion rule and domineer over the other
three-fifths. The Constitution is no long
er accepted by the ruling faction as the
ultimate arbiter of all questions affecting
the right of American citizens. A
higher law has been established. The
party in power having obtained the
offices, have proclaimed their intention to
hold them by any and every means that
may be necessary. By craft and usur
pation they have manuged to exclude
the Southern States from all participa
tion in the affairs of the Government,
and the people are prevented from mak
ing their voice heard through the
medium of the ballot-box. According
to the indications furnished by the late
contests in the Northern States, -the
legal voters of the country are divided
as follows:
Against tho Radicals, North ...2,000,000
Against the Radicals/ South 1,600,000
Total/. 3,900,000
Nor the Radicals, North 2,400,000
For tho Radicals, South 100,000
Total ..2,600,000
This estimate, which is a fair one,
■hows that there is to-day a majority of
not less than one million of the people
of the nation opposed to the “torcu-imd
turpentine” faction. And yet the people
are helpless.
And yet that minority has 250 Repre
sentatives in Congress, while the ma
jority has but 60 I Is this tho spirit of
Republicanism ? Is this the genius of
American Democracy? Is this the jus
tice and the security of written Consti
tutions? Surely it is evident that
Republicanism does not exist in the
United States of America.
The accumulation of gold in the
Treasury has reached $05,000,000, of
which $24,000,000, interest on Five

Tho Georgia Legislature.
This body will meet in Milledgevilte
to day. There arc some important meas
ures which, will, dutsbtioM coma belbr* it,
for prompt and careful action. One,of
thqse will be*lhe question oKlißeHtf.”
W« have given no opinion on tho sub
j.-et, because we fult .unable to propose
anything better than other and wiser
heads had already proposed. Meetings
have been held in various portions of
the State, from which suggestions have'
emanated, while plans have been pro
posed by judges and lawyers, all of
which will probably have a hearing and
an advocacy bohtte the Legislature and
from the number thaa presented some
thing wise and just be adopted, ,\
The? -the question of encouragement
to Agriculture, by means of immigration
and other sources, will come up for dd-i
cision. This is a very important ques
tion, and should bo acted ou as early as
possible.
Then there is the question of State
Aid to Manufactures, and the support
of the widows and orphans and maim ed
soldiers of the State—both of which will
engage the earnest attentionof our Leg
islature and requirejprompt and efficient
action.
In all of these measures we are wed
ded to no particular policy or plan. We
oaly hope that the Legislature will be
gnided by the spirit which characterizes
the motto of the States Wisdom, Jus
tice and Moderation that they will act
only with an eye to the good of the whole
State and to the advancement and pro
motion of its best interests.
We have secured the services of an
experienced aud competent gentleman
at Millegeville, who will furnish us with
the daily reports of the Proceedings dur
ing the session, and with telegraphic
dispatches, should anything of special
importance occur,
The Insanity of the,. Express
Carlotta.
The reported insanity of the Empress
Carlotta, of Mexiqo, is a theme of gene
ral discassion. The New York Herald
doubts the report altogether, ans. ex.
presses the opinion that it arose solely
from the zeal and vebetnencerwith c Which
she urged her mission at the Court of
Rome. On the other hand, the Parie
correspondent of the New York Times
says that ‘'General Almonte, the Am
bassador of the Me.'Scan Empire at
Paris, has received a letter frum
Miramar stating that she was grndually
impr g. The nervous excitement
which ad. provoked symptoms of in
sanity a F (receding, and all appearances
are it will ultimately disappear.
During the moments of her lucidity the
Empress is said to have written to
Prince Iturbide, actually in one of the
colleges of Paris, a letter full of good
advice and sensible remarks, in which
no traces of a disordered imagination
appear. The news that Dr. Blanche,
the celebrated physician for iris&ne peo
ple, has gone to Miramar, iswithout
foundation.”
It is possible, therefore, that the Em
press, in the excitement of her embassy,
may have suffered a temporary mental
aboi ration ; but it is gratifying to know
that she is recovering from its effects,
ar.d it is to be hoped that her reason
may soon regain its wonted sway.
It is not Wonderful that the Mexican
Empress should be deprived of her
reason, Her illustrious husband has
been placed in power by Louis Napo
leqp ; and now, about to bo abandoned
by that monarch, and menaced by the
Government of the United States, he is
placed in a peculiar and precarious
position; and unless site can secure
succor for him in other quarters, bis
Government must prove a failure, and
he must abandon Mexico. This succor
she will, most probably, not obtain, aud
tlrtfs, knowing the condition of Maxi
milian’s affairs, and aware of the mi
happy result of his Empire, she inty,
in the agony of despair, have for a short
time, wandered in her reason.
barely, rulers have much to answer
for. The Mexican policy of Louis Na
polenn was tho wisest aud boat that
could hate been adopted for that dis
trac-teti and unhappy country; but‘he
failed to support it, as he should have
done ; while the United States Govern
ment, with a foolish prejudice against
foreign intervention on "tills continent,
gpve it no support. 'On the coutrary,
the aid and sympathy of this Govern
ment have been extended, as far as
practicable, to the Republican faction
under Juarez. If a different course bad
been pursued, if the United Gov
ernment'hatf joined hands with that of
in sustaining'the Empjrtj re
sistance would have been soon, ended
and a stable government secured for the
land of the Mqntezumas— peace and
Viet would have been restored, and the
Empire have advanced in arts, sciences,
civilization, and all that tends to make
a nation great arid prosperous. But the
rulers have decided on a contrary policy,
and unhappy Mexico may soon revert
to its wild, 4tyordered state,, the prey pi
ambitious Generals, the scene of endless
dltcord, Confusion, and anarchy.
Mental and Manual Labor.— Prof.
Houghton, of Trinity College, Dublin,
has published some- curious chemical
computations, respecting the relative
smoipit of physical exhaustion produced
by mental and manual labor. Accor ling
to these chemical estimates, two hours
of severe mental study abstract from
the hunrian system as much vital strength
as is taken from it by an entire day of
mere hand work. This fact,, which
seems to rest upon strictly scientific
laws, shows that the men who do brain
work should be careful, first, not to over
task themselves by too continuous exer
tion, and secondly, that they should not
omit to lake physical exercise each day
sufficient to restore the equilibrium be
tween the nervous and muscular sys
tem.
Tux Lynchburg News says: It is
statedthatthe Stockholders of the Na.
lional Express Company took favorably
uphn the proposition of the Merchants'
Kxptem Company, to Unite the two
Companies, and for the National to do
the business of the Southern States,
while the Merchants is to do that of the
Northern States. A committee has been
sent North to perfect the arrangements,
Merchants' Union Express Com
pany—SiNGiH.tß Revelations.—Hav
ing felt an interest in the success of the
new organizstion known as the Mer
chants’ Union Express Company, and
believing that such an institution was
necessary, to relieve the public from the
burthens of monopoly, we gave the
mdve the support of this journal.
Things have transpired” from time to
time in the progress of organization
that led us to feat that the Company
was not being judiciously managed,
and that the-money paid by aubaorlbers
for stock was not properly expended.
Reports are in circulation that require
to be corrected, if false. If true, the
stockholders should take hold of the
Company and change its management.
When the contracts for the outfit of
the Company wete made, it is said that
the duty of purchasing was alotted to
sundry weti, each ; taking a part and
each acting without restriction. There
was no competition, and, of course,
much larger prices were paid than
wpuld have been had the business been
open to competition. Horses, wagons,
harness; real estate, etc., were taken, it
is alleged, at-high prices.
The stock of the Company was fixed
at filtecn millions'of dollars. By and
by, the capital was increased to twenty
millions without any notice being given
to stockholders. The first they..knew
of the increase was sometime after when
it was Indirectly stated in a circnlar ad
dressed, not to them,, but to the business
public.
What became" of the five millions of
stock added ? We are told that it was
issued as paid up stoclw It is said that
■a portion ot this paid up stock was given
to the late Dean Richmond, and that
dtlier. Railroad officials received large
spins-in stock,
As an example of the way in which
the money of the Stockholders is being
oxpended, it is told that a farm in New
Jersey had been purchased for thirty
seven thousand five hundred dollars to
be used as an asylum for disabled hor
ses. This caps the climax. When
horses give out they should be sold for
what they will bring if they have to go
to the bone yard. No prudent company
would thiuk of retaining them as pen
sioners. ■>
It is asserted that the stockholders in
fittsburg, who took a lively interest in
this new Express Company, have united
to go into the courts and contest the
legality of the proceedings of the
directors, particularly with respect to
the distribution of five millions of paid
up stock.
We hope the reports referred to are
unfounded, but we have reason to be
lieve that they are true. The managers
should at once come before the public
and make a truthful exhibit of affairs, if
they can safely do so. The sympathy of
the public is with the enterprise which
they are conducting, and if it can be
shown that they have performed their
duties judiciously and faithfully to the
interests of. tho stockholders, these
reports will only increase their strength
land add to the measure of their pros
perity.—Rochester Union.
Bishop Dogget. —We publish the
following.extract, from a letter written
to the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist,
by Rev. J. Ditaler, because we think
it will interest our Methodist readers.
The writer of the letter is known to
miSrfy of our citizens—he having
iprpqphqd-here several times during the
'war, -He. is speaking of Bishop Dog
«ct: . (iv
What shall I say of him ? -I never
flatter—hate puffing. Bishop Dogget,
as a. man,, as a Christian, gentlemen,
preacher, and presiding officer, de
lights—carries everybody with him.
At Richmond, then Lexington, Mis
souri, at Clinton, Illinois, and now at
Elizabethtown, as at Winchester, Ken
tucky, it is the. same. With such a
Bishop moving throtigh our Stales,
preaching to the people, infusing their
own energy and zeal into the whole
j body, who can estimate the pood that
will be accomplished ? Truly, every
one must rejoice that anew era has
dkwfled on tis as to the Episcopal work.
Our Geperal did. us a gJo
rious" work in giving us such men' as
Bishops Dogget, Mclyeire, Wightman,
and Marvin, to be allied with our for
tner Bishops. -VAtidVif’ they all mix
among the people a* does he of Rich
