THE PROCLAMATION—MOKE JF<»
GLING.
There in btit littlo if any doubt Hint
President Grant hud repeatedly declared,
up to tin* week, that ho could not issue
the proclamation of the adoption of the
1 .Mli Amendment until Georgia and T«*» h
should be admitted and their ratillcationa
counted. He doubted the validity of the
ratification by tho Legislature of Indiana,
and tho revocation of tho ratification of
New York made it tnoro than doubtful
whether flint State could be countod. Yet
we see both of them counted in the proc
lamation. and by including them there is
an enumeration of only one State more
thnii tin* requiaitoThroo-fourtba. It ap
pears. therefore, that Home great, pressure
must have brought about a proclamation
which a large portion of the people, of
all classes, will consider premature. And
n Washington dispatch of Saturday last no
doubt reveals what that pressure was. It
said: “A delegation of Connecticut rep-
resentalivea are hero to hco if Oourgia
and Texas cannot ponaibly bo admitted,
and the l‘.th Amendment proclamation
issued next week, ao that the 1500 rylored
voters can participate in th« election one
week from Monday. If this in not done
they will lose the State, as the Democrats
estimate now that it will do carried by
Ms»o anti Radical majority. The Prom
dent lias been implored to do Hoiiiolliing,
but be says that lie cannot legally issue
the proclamation till Goorgin and Tt
are admitted. The Connecticut negroes
have been previously registered."
(icorgia has not been “admitloti”— ban
not been countod. Hut the Senate, in a
most extraordinary uiauner, took the
of Tcxhh from the connideratiou of
Judiciary Committee, two or three days
ago, and hurriedly pawned the bill admit
ting that Slate. There had evidently been
an agreement with the President that In
would issue the proclamation an noon a*
Texan should be admitted, and not wait
for Georgia to be taken in. The Conner
Iicut ItudicalN were in a desperate strait
they must have the Amendment befort
their April election, or lose the State
I’ut there was so much Itadical disagree
meat in Congress concerning (inorgia a
to preclude the hope that she, too, eoitk
Ini admitted and her ratification counted
before tho Connecticut election: there
fore a majority of three-fourths must

the alternative that was presented to

IN A RAD FIX.
A private letter from Washington gives
the following illustration of the estimate
which won'd-bc Republican** hold their
lenders—the Radical bummers.
venerable *•/’»«I'-iibt "nder oil c,r-
nnn*tetnce* % " chancing lately to Hojotirn
for n day «»r two in Wnslungton, an “in
duty bound called to p*y his ru-pocts to
the*l’resident. The stately octogenarian
*s received with tho distinguished con-
1,.ration clmractorihtio of the National
endian, and was highly pleased thereat.
Of course tho conversation turned upon
politics in Georgia, touching “promoting
instruction” and the Republican party.
This the clear-headed old gentleman to-.k
miicii pains to elucidate, from wlmt lie
conceived to be tho true National Repub
lican stand point. Rut in the height of
his argument, throw n off his guard by his
interest in tho subject, h< so far forgot
htmaolf as to say that tho “Urjnibtintn
/hi rhj in Ucor•/id tldvnutl btidly
mixed."
Appalled at having outraged politeness
and the respect duo to the Chief Magis
trate of “tho nation,” by lotting slip a
cuss-word, ho paused suddenly, bringing
up with u stately bow of contrition and “1
beg your pardon, Mr. I 'resident." “Never
mind, never nund, sir," said (ion. Grant,
that smooth, soft tone which charaet*i-
>h his utterance. “Go on, go on: I’m
very much interested. Recovering his
Holf-poHHOHKioii, the gray-haired Federal it
proceeded with bis narrative with dignity.
Hut a return of the interrupts d current *.f
thought brought ft return of cerebral ex
ilement, ami the old gentleman again
brought up with : “The fact is, Mr. Presi
dent, Republicans in Georgia on in a tout
fix. They Tom either to n(Jlh-i/t trith tho > •*
tMHodalr irit/i JicinocriitH. It// GW,
/ k/oiII jirctifrre nil/ nrtf.rt*/m t in
nnmd. m utrnliti/." Aui/uato Chronicle.
Hie above is so much in the uli/h of an
emphatic arid venerable “I'nionist’ of this
pity, that we would have no doubt of the
personality of the i'hrmieh'H hero, but
for the fact that our venerable Federalist
has not lately visited Washington.
WonsK ani* Woiihk. it appears from
Die ofllciJil prorlnnmtion of the adoption
of the I dh Arnoiiduienl (which we copy
elsewheroi that tho Secretary of State
makes tnu count" to establiKh its validity
One include:; New York and excludes
Georgia; the other includes Georgia and
excludes New iork. Indiana is not ape
cially alluded to, hut tho illegal inode of
ratifying the Amendment in that State was
kept in view, and it was considered that
without Indiana either New York or Geor
gia iiiunI be counted to make flic rati
fying States. That is the Secretary Hiuodo
of deliiiing tho utiihiH of Georgia. She is
a State of tho Fnion if her ratification of
tho IMh Amondmctil is needed; and ,1m
is not a State if tho ratifications of both

time has now arrived when tho Radical

sectional domineering, or whether its di ;•

WILL THE INQUISITION RE ES
TABLISHED ?
We noticed this morning the arrest and
onfinemeut in prison of John Steven*-,
.imp, a worthy citizen and upright mer
chant, charged with no crime, but simply
to extort from him supposed knowledge of
uffenso committed by other parties.
Thig outrage is totally unnecessary arid
uncalled for. If he is possessed of any in
formation, and is placed on the witness
stand, none who know him hut will vouch
thut he will tell “the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth." Do the
powers that be require more ?
Tho United States District Court is now
session ; it had a Grand Jury regularly
sworn in. Why not summon him before
that body to elicit tho facts wanted, if he
knew them.
One week ago, last night, Mr. Fred. S.
Lamb, the venerable bridge-keeper at
(oswell bridge, Mr. Adam Legg, who re-
ides some four miles beyond the bridge
across the river;, Mr. John Adams, who
i ves one mile, and J. L. Wing, who lives
wo miles this side of tho bridge, wero ar
rested by tho military, and have been
sept in imprisonment ever since. The
umd of their arrest seems to be simply
this :
A negro woman, living about four miles
thi-* side «.f the bridge, was killed several
weeks ago, supposed by a baud of three
disguised mm. as three men. disguised
,ind mounted, crossed and rccrossed th*
bridge that night. The bridge-keeper. Mr.
I nmb. was released yesterday, a* no in
formation could be extracted from him.
I lie others are suspected to know some
thing about the murder or the murderer**.
M-. Wing is well known in this city, as a
quiet, inoffensive man.
‘ A negro man named Joe. reputed to bo
a notorious thief, is said to have been Dm
hu -bund of the murdered woman.
A few weeks previous to the murd - r .
Mr. Wing had the negro Joe arre-di d for
stealing oats from his bam. Joe ac
knowledged the crime before Notary Huh
In- Smith, and was fined forth •*!-• ■
