JOHN H. MARTIN Kdltor
COLUMBUS: *
Friday Morning, Feb. 2,
1866.
The Tribunal of the people.
There is now every reason to hope that
the vindictive and revolutionary measures
of the Radical party will fail to pass at
the present session of Congress, or fail to
be sustained over the Presidential veto.
The debates in the House disclose the fact
that there is great diversity in the Repub
lican ranks as to the provisions of the
constitutional amendment in reference to
suffrage and representation. The mousure
as now proposed is evidently not satisfac
tory to the majority of the House, though
there is a strong determination to force
the Soutborn States in tome way to adopt
negro suffrage, and this foregone conclu
sion may finally bring about an agreement
as to the means. In any case, however, it
is not likely that three-fourtbs of the
States will give up to Congress jurisdiction
over so delicate a subject of legislation,
which they have always heretofore exor
cised for themselves.
It is only by constitutioniri amendment
that the States can rightfully be dictated
to in reference to the qualifications of their
electors. If Congress attempts to coerco
them in any other manner, we may rest
assured that President Johnson will, in ]
consistency with all his political antece
dents, stand up for the rights of the States. I
In either event, the question involved
mutt go before the people of the country
for their Judgment. Wo have an abiding
confidence that that judgment will be for
the maintenance of the government as it
is—will be in opposition to the radicalism
that would deprivo the States of their
roost cherished reserved rights and con
centrate all power in the Federul Govern
ment. Such a contest would bring about
a complete breaking up of old party
organizations, and would start us upon a
fresh political career, with such divisions
as to the relativo powors of the States and
the General Government ns would for
many years absorb all minor issues, it
would bo a contest involving the very
existence of the States as political organ
isations worth maintaining at all. Wo
do not believe that the people of either
aection of the Union would consent to
amendments so destructive of tboir most
valued institutions, or to the continuance
In power of a party who sought thoir
destruction.
There ere «r»Ufjin, fi*n«, .*y« the Jfa-
iionitl InteUigeneer of the 26tb, that c»re-
ful aecond thought* are-gettiog some foot
hold In Congreu. The remarks of Mr.
Fessenden were on the wliolo in most
praisoworlhy contrast with the violent ut
terances of many whose zeal, if honestly
entertained, very far outruns practical
wisdom and sagacity. We hope sincere
ly with Mr. Fessenden, that the party in
power may do what is right "at the ear
liest possible day." Tbo excellent con
cluding remark of Mr. Fossenden is re
ported as follows:
In conclusion, Mr. Fessenden said be
desired a full restoration of the Union as
rapidly as possible. Ho was opposed to
the imposition upon any people designed
to form a part of the Government of de
grading conditions of any kind. Ho
would not uegrade the South in any way.

HIK FRENCH PHIiSS ON THE
(SPANISH INSURRECTION.
Tho Journal dcs Dubats, on the subject
of the military revolt in Spain, observes:
Enough is already known to show that
this movement is something more than a
mere outbreak. Everything seems to in
dicate a rising of the Progressist party.—
Uonoral Prim is, in (act, one of the most
influential loaders of that party, and it is
natural to think that a man of his iinpor-
I lance would not hrivo taken part in an in
surrection without being well assured that
It appears from the following corres
pondence, which ocMrred immediately
before the late election for Senators, that
Mr. Stephens had roceivod no "now
lights" as to hi. acceptability at Wash
ington, but that he was rathor ovorpor-
tuadud by the strongly-expressed desire
of tbe representatives of the peoplo to
elect him to the Senate. We say that it
uppeare so. Westill hope, however, that
he had assurenoes, encouraging to us as a
people, which he has net yet thought
proper to disclose. His prior declension
had been so positive, and was so emphati
cally based upon the conviction that his
election would not hasten tho period of
the admission of tbe Southern Congress
men, that we do not like to give up our
impression that he is now more hopeful or
better informed. In his letter ef tbe 22d
ulu, he had said : "la referenco to the
subjeot of the election of United Slates
Senators, which is now before you, allow
me to avail myself of this occasion to say
to you, and through you to all tho mem
bers of tbe General Assembly, that I can
not give my consent tu the uso of my
name in that connection. This inhibition
of such use uf it is explicit und omphalic.
1 wish it so understood by all. As will
ingly as 1 would yield my own contrary
inclinations to what I am assured it tho
general and unar.imoue'wish of tbe Legis
lature in this respect, if 1 saw any pros
pect of my being able, by thus yielding,
to render any essuufial service to tbe peo
ple of Georgia; und, as earnestly desirous
as 1 am for a speedy restoration of civil
law, porfect peace, harmony and prosper
ity throughout the whole country, yol,
under existing circumstances, 1 do not sou
such prospect of tho availability of my
•orvicea to llieao ends in any public posi
tion,"
The following is the correspondence
that immediately preceded the election :
Milliduxvill*. Jan. 29, 1800.
Hon. A. H. Stephens.
Esteemed Sir: Wo have read with deep
regret your letter to the Legislature with
holding tbe uso of your name in connec
tion with tho Senatorial canvass; but while
we grant to you tho right of refusing a
candidacy for a seat in tho U. S.' Senate,
yet at the same time we claim to have also
tbe right to bestow upon you this trust,
involving as it docs important considera
tions. We feel, sir, that a rust maturity
of the people of tho Stale »ro looking to
you as the mnu for the crisis. As tbo rep
resentatives of that constituency, desirous
to carry out this manifest demonstration
of the public will, we now ask, will you
serve if elected?
H. ». Casey,
Claiborne Snead,
be would bo followed and supported. Tho
dispatches received announce that the
government is confldent of its power to
restore order; nevertheless it is impossible
to overlook the gravity of tho situation.—
Mud rid, too, has beon declared in a state
of siege, though tranquillity still prevails
there.
Tbe Times has the following remarks :
In principle, we affirm that there can
be nothing more deplorable than military
insurrections; but facts are tads, and all
tho considerations in the world will not
prevent such insurrections from being en
demic in Spam, as they wore in ancient
times under tho Roman omperors. They
wero then the certain sign of universal
decomposition. Wo do not, however,
mean to say that Spain has conic to that
pass, for we do not Ihink so; wo koliovo,
on the contrary, that she retains conside
rable elements of vitality; but this peri
odical phenomenon of military risings,
which intervene in the regular course ol
tilings with the pretension to rectify what
is wrong, is none the lots a most afflicting
spectacle. One of two things must he—
either Spain is not fit for the constitution
al system, or that system has been utterly
corrupted and falsiticd there.
The Monde soems to think that the in
surrection is a just judgment on tho Cjueon
of Spain and her government for having
recognized tbe new kingdom of Italy. It
visions proper in Congress, have not end
ed with the war. And they see also, that
every such vote, instead of bringing the
two classes at the South that are compell
ed to live together into hormonious social
relations, has ths very opposite tendency.
The editor closes with this remark :
"\Vo lail to see tbe gain to the cause of
peace, of ro-union, of the froedman him
self, in what was done by Thursday’s
vote."
Why then not vole in tho interest of
peace, re-union, and tbe freedmen?

MUON HUSSION.
After the General Assembly bad ro«
conveneiat 3} o'clock, p. m., Mr. Stew
art, of Spalding, withdrew tho name of
Ulocinnatus Peeples, Esq.
Hon. O. L. Smith rose und stated that
he was authorized and requested by Gen.
Gartrell to withdraw his name uncondi
tionally, and to return his sincere thanks
to llie members of tbe General Assembly
who had honored him with their confi
dence and lupport. Wherefore, Mr. J.
B. Jones, of Iturko, stated that it was due
to the irienos of tbe gentlemen where
names had just been withdrawn to slate
that he had announced tbe name of Hon.
Ilorschel V. Jahnson, on his own respon
sibility, and at tho suggestion of two or
three friends who sat around him.
Mr. Glenn, of Whitfield, rose und said :
"Mr. President: I regret that tho name
of Gen. Gartrell has been withdrawn; and
that he is no longer a candidate before tho
General Assembly; but while he grace
fully retires from before this body, he
never retired before the enemies of his
country. I arn determined to cast my vote
for a gentleman who lias drawn his sword
in tho defense of his country. lam for
these men who have stood by the Mouth in
her sixth trial, and did not forsake her in
tho seventh. L therefore urn,ounce the
name of Gon. John B. Gordon, which I
do without any authority from him.
On tho first voting, lion. H. V. Johnson
received 10'2 votes, and was declared duly
elected.
The Senate retired to the chamber and
tho House adjournod.
The Senate having resumed the consid
eration of business, passed tho bill to
make advances tooffleers und members of
the General Assembly, and then ad
journed.

While the compensation proposed is
smalt, tiie penalties provided art severe,
ae in tbe case of receivers arid custodians
of the public nionoy. He snys further :
It is believed that a measure of the char
acter proposed will not only produce con-
siderqjile revenue to the department, but
will lend to promote a feeling of content
ment and subordination among the poople
of the Southern Slates, and at the same
time protect tbe department against loss.’ ’

Kentucky.
The Kentucky Legislature has been ex
pelling tbo members whose election was
charged to military interference. A num
ber of Representatives of the Republican
party have thus been ousted and the elec
tion referred hack to the people, and we
believe that in every instance candidates
of the Conservative party have been elect
ed. A letter from Louisville to the Cin
cinnati Inquirer says : “The radical parly
has no sireogth now in Kentucky. If an
election were to take place to-morrow it
would hardly carry a single coanty in the
Stale, ai d the majority In each Congres
sional District against it would be count-
ed by tens of thousands. It is unfortu
nate that the State, under military dicta
tion, is now represented by a Congression
al delegation one-half of which is radical."
Three murders were committed within
five tooure, at Indianapolis, Ind., a few
days ago.
says:
What is taking place in Spain proven
onco more tho inutility of concessions
when they relate to principles, and are
made to the revolution. The Govern**
ment of Madrid recognized*the Kingdom
of Italy; tho Queen ratified an act as con
trary to religious traditions hs to the poli
cy of the monarchy, und the Progressists,
in order to show their gratitude, excite a
revolt among several regiments, and drive
the couutry into the arms of the House of
Braganze. It is onco more General Pi;im
who is the instigator and chief of tho in
surrectional movement,
Tho Pays, which is supposod to occa
sionally receive intelligence from the
Spanish embassy at Paris, gives the fol
lowing version:
The conspiracy of the Progressist party
has long ceaied to be a secret. It is act
ive, poworful and unceasing. A first at**
tempt at a military revolt was mude at Va
lencia, but failed, %nd a subsequent rising
at Saragossa met with no better success.—
In the present instanco the party had or
ganized its plan on a larger scale. A largo
number of regiments were to bo brought
by their chiots into the revolt, and were
to rise simultaneously on several different
points. Tho govornmont was informed
of those plans, and a few days oack, in
order to defeat the preparations, changed
the garrison of several regiments, und
transferred niuo colonuJs to different corps:
these officers being thus placed at the head
oi regiments to which they wero entirely
unknown, lost the influence they wero to
exercise in the rising. Those measuies
disclosed to tho public tbe (act that the
government was in presence of a serious
menace. Tho Progress!*. chiofs neverthe
less persisted in their project, and en the
3d, a*. 4 o'clock in the morning, news
reached Madrid that two regiments in
garrison at Aranjuez and Ocaiia had re
volted. At 8 o’clock in the morning the
Council of Ministers, being assembled
proclaimed the state of siege in Madrid,
and the whole of the province of New
Castile. Marshal. O’Donnel and several
generals proceeded to the barracks, wk'ro
they found the troops perfectly tranquil:
Colonels Heredia and Aldama started in
pursuit of the rebels. At four in the af
ternoon tho regimonl of artillery arrived
from Alcala. Marshal O'Donne! went to
meet them, to be assured of their fidelity.
They entered with cries of “Tho Queen
forever I" Several superior officers wero
immediately sent into the provinces.—
Gen. Carlos La Torre was made prisoner
at Badajoz. General Pierrad Was arrested
at Valladolid, and Colonel Gaminde was
boing conducted into the presence <*f the
Governor, but succeeded in escaping. The
insurgents have severed the telegraphic
lines, broken down a bridge, and tied to
the mountains of Cuenca, where tho gov
ernment troops conlinuo in pursuit of
them, Cuenca is 77 miles from Madrid,
and the oountry atound being rugged and
mountainous, will, perhaps, onablu the
iugitives to resist for some days.
Aranjuez, where the insurrection com
menced, is only 271 miles from Madrid.—
"In throwing himself into the country
south of Madrid,” says the Avenir Na
tional, "in tho direction of Cuenca, Gen.
Prim scorns to aim at occupying the moun
tains in tho province of Toledo, where, in
the first place, it is easy for him to defend
himself, and where, also, ho can wait t

Prim would be manor of tho communi

where are to be round thegreater number
of the regiments which made the Morocco
campaign with him, and which are still,
it is said, devoted to his interests."
General Prim, Count de Reus, author
of this new pronunciamento, was born in
1811. He was for a long time considered
as one of the chiefs of the Christinos. The
war in the Kast, in which ho took an aotL
part, on the Danube, and the prelimfh
rles of Soledad, when a convention was
drawn up between France, Spain, and
England, and Juarez, which put an end
to the first phase of the Mexican expedi
tion, have made him more especially
known in Europe and in America. For
tho last two years bo has passed for the
director of that fraction of the Progressist
party which goes by the name of “Iberi
an," and which meditates the unity of the
whole Peninsula under the house of Bra
ganxa. _
Talking and Voting.—The Timei
talks well to-day upon the vote in the
House. How the editors voted two days
»ince is quite another affair. We prefer
the talking to the vote, and so quote what
is true in the following brief lines:
But there are not a few at ti ncero friends

who see in this crowding of every con*
ceivable species of legislation ostensibly
for the black man's benefit, certain ele

FIVE REASONS
WHY X BUY my
BOOTS AND SHOES
-0F-
PIKE & ROBINSON,
138 BROAD 8T.
1st. Because I there can fit my feet,
With Boots and Shoes both good nnd DM t
Of various sort* and every grade.
Well Sewell lasted, and well utds;
2d. Because their lowest price they tell,
For erery article they sell;
In fact their only prioe they name,
That all may purchase at the tame.
2d. Because they always are content
Their goods to fairly represent;
They never sell you nailed for sewed,
Nor good for badi nor bad for good.
4th. Beoause my Boots they can repair,
For Boots, you know, in time will wear.
They make them almost food as new,
With leather sewed by workmen true.
5th, Becauso I’ve saved full ten per oeat.

Tux Salk of Postage Stamps on
Credit.—The ob ect of the law author*
izing the 'ale of postage stamps on credit,
us shown from a letter from tbo Postmas
ter General to the chairman of the Seuat«
Poatoffloe Committee, is to enable the de
parimontto circulate iu stamp-* through
the Slates lately in rebellion. The Post
master General says this cannot be done
to any considerable extent, for tho roason
that the law only authorize* the **!
stamps to postmaster* for cash, and that
there are many places where there are not
qualified persons who can take the caih to
fill the postoffices, nor porrons of sufficient
means to enable them tu parch <te stemi s
for cash. There are many peis *ns who
cannot take the oath who ran furnish good
bonds, and thus accommodate a very
groat demand for stamp*. Ho indicate*
Lis intention, if the bill passr*. to appoint,
as for as praetioable, assessors, collectors
valued at $96 000, and insured for
$60,000 in N«w York offices. Most of the
feight (cotton) would be saved.
