Making Merry.
The Northern papers,more especially the Rad
icals, see an infinite fund of mirth in Ex-Presi
dent Johnson’s valedictory. The Tribune says
Johnson began his career with an humble at
tempt at playing Moses—then Bacchus—then,
ancient Pistol, and now winds np with an at
tempt to copy Washington. Nothing strikes
the Northern mind as so supremely ridi colons as
an appeal for the Constitution. They care as
little for it as the old Texans nsed to for a pro-
teat; and any man who says “Constitution"
begins to twaddle stance. Talk to them about
protection—trade—greenbacks and they under
stand yon. All the rest is foolishness. They
want no Oonstitntion but the ballot-box, and are
sore the ballot-box will always be quite as sat
isfactory in its verdicts as it is now. These
Northern people are a gay set on magna chart*
—fundamental law and the written defences of
life and liberty.
Ball and Mapper at Gordon.
It will be seen from the advertisement that
there is to be a grand Ball and Supper at the
Gordon Hotel, under the auspices of oar friend
Folsom, to-morrow evening. Great prepara
tions are made and it will be a gay time. Par
ties can leave Macon by the G o'clock train,
Wednesday evening, and be home by the next
morning train at half past six. We are under
many obligations to Capt. Folsom for a special
invitation to be there, but the fact is, one of ns
tried the “light fantastie’’ for a single night last
Fall, and it laid him up ten days. This was a
suggestive hint in the matter of locomotion
which moat not be forgotten. Not that any of
us are getting into tke sera and yellow leaf—no,
no—not at all. Far from it. Quite the reverse.
But there is something in die disjointed condi
tion of the times and the gravity of our position
and standing, unfavorable to saltatory perform
ance*. That's it—precisely. We know our
wnaknesa ess 0— ea. Fond of round danees, we
might find ourselves again vis-a-vis with some
beautiful widow, forget our infirmities and nev
er know when to atop.
The Press and tlio Cabinet.
There seems to be a very marked coincidence
of opinion among the leading and intelligent
press of Georgia in respeot to the Cabinet and
its meaning. AU agree that it is a east inado np
in sublime disrespect of party demands, and in
dicates a purpose, on the part of the new Chief
Magistrate, to “ run the machine” on bis own
responsibility. See the extracts on our first
A Wooden Knilrond.
The Chronicle and Sentinel recommends
building the road from Louisville to Augnsta
with wooden rails. The distance is forty-throe
miles, twenty-six of which have already been
graded for a plank road, and the Chronicle and
Sentinel thinks the wholo can be done for one
hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars.
Meetings are to bo held at Louisville, Key’s
Mills and Ways' Church, on the 97th inst
Submit it to the People.—Tho Columbus Sun
•Cates a fact and makos an honest proposition,
as follow*: ‘‘Although Atlanta may intrigne
and spend money to retain tho Capitol, her hold
upon it will be ever precarious so long as she
has the appearanco of a usurper. When the
Congressional elections shall have boon ordered,
let there be • vote of the people on this question
dt the Capitol. If the people decide for Mil-
ledge viHe, let tho champions of Atlanta be con
tent. If for Atlanta, let Milledgevillo and its
adherents be satisfied.”
Giusrr, Alexander A Co., contractors on the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad, have mado ap
plication to the City Council of Augusta, to hire
tho chain-gang of that city to work upon tho
railroad. There are sixty-odd members of that
interesting fraternity, and the Finance Commit
tee report that an acceptance of Messrs. Grant,
Alexander A Co.'s offer will save the city 9300
per month. The Chronicle and Sentinel thinks
the Augusta chain-gang will soon be breaking
ground on the line of the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad.
Second the Motion—Canine Patmests.—A
correspondent of the Newnan Herald retaliates
upon the Legislative proposition to tax dogs by
the suggestion “that each member of said Leg-
ialatue take two dogs at fifty dollars each, for the
serrioo rendered the State. This will do much to
redace the number of dogs that are so destruc
tive to the interest of all concerned and be a
fair compensation to tho men who receive
them."

Labor Sale or Lands. —Seventy thousand acres
of land in Florida, will be sold at Jacksonville
on the first Monday in April next, for division
among tho heirs. These lands are Spanish
grants, and comprise some of the. most valuable
lands in the State.
An Opesxxo.—The Bainbridgo Argus calls far
tho establishment of a saw mill in or near that
place. It says it has been impossible to buy a
hundred feet of lumber in Bainbridge for a
month past Where pine timber is so plentful, that
lumber should be scarce reflects upon the enter
prise of the people.
Foeset says of the Inauguration Ball: “ The
statement that the colored people would be pres
ent, ^yas, of course, erroneous. I did not see
one. The-intelligent people of that race are
too proud to subject themselves to reproach,
and the others had too much sense to please
their enemies by going.”
The Atlanta New Era pays a compliment to
Mr. Tomlin, of Randolph, for the energy and
perseverance with which he worked through the
House of Representatives the bill to incorporate
and extend State aid to the -Bainbridge, Cuth-
bert A Columbus Railroad Company.
The New York Herald predicts that Grant
will make bis . administration historical by re
cognizing belligerent rights of the Cuban revo
lutionists, and then the independence of Cuba.
The rage for life insurance, and the active
competition for premiums among companies

South Sea bubble.
The result of the legal inquisition into the
Grant-Pollard murder in Richmond, is surpris

Bolting the Fifteenth Amendment.
The Indiana Democrats took all the means
God and nature had put into their hands to de
feat the fifteenth amendment Aa soon as the
session opened on the morning of the fourth
instant, fifty-nine Democratic members offered
their resignation, thus breaking quorum
and bringing the session to an end. The coup
d’etat ms not unexpected, it having been de
termined upon in caucus the night before. A
few members remained in order to make the
calls of the House and otherwise prevent any
further legislation. This action of the Demo
cratic minority left matters in a very bad state,
not a single one of the appropriation bills hav
ing been passed, and the benevolent institutions,
prisons, etc., are left unprovided for. Had the
bolt been postponed until the afternoon, these
would have been passed, and there could have
been no danger of pressing the passage of the
Constitutional amendment. A caucus of the
Republican members was held immediately, but
it was found that nothing could be done to help
Hiinga. A committee of two Senators and three
Representatives was appointed to issue an ad
dress to tbs people of the State. Governor
Baker has issued writs for special elections in
the vacated districts, and will call • special ses
sion of the Legislature to meet in April.
Ethiopian Juries.
They are engaged in some heavy experiments,
just now, with negro juries in Louisiana. The
N. O. Times speaks of one jury made np of elev
en negroes and one white man, who had been
trying some difficult and abstruse questions—
one of them a case in which a colored man bad
sued the city of New Orleans for 937,000 dama
ges on account of the alleged doings of a mob.
On the day before, that is, on Monday, a diffi
cult and intricate insurance case, which should
property have been tried by a select jury of
merchants, was submitted to a jury made up
from this panel. One of the lawyers on the side
that lost, asked a great, heavy negro juryman
on what principle bo rendered his verdict:—
“Wall, massa, I dink yon cliumpt bought a cat
in a bag—dat's all I got to say bout it" In an
other case the attorney of one of the parties in
court, aggravated by the monstrous decision of
the black jury, remarked to the Judge, that, “a
verdict rendered by a jury of stolid, ignorant,
and incapable negroes, who ought to be in the
corn-field instead of the jury-box, should not be
recorded.” Thereupon one of the jurymen, a
big, saucy, ragged, dirty, squalid specimen of
his nee, marched within the bar to the table
occupied by the lawyers and addressed the judge
thus: “Mister judge, I wants to know ef dese
here lawyers has de right to make dese 'tacks on
as jurusus, and if we aiat got no 'dress for such
rich carryings on? I aint no corn-field hand; I
is a voter and got my registy papers." Failing
to obtain satisfaction, be went off muttering,
“I'll havo de lawyers what insulted as hrung up
under de ’struction law anyhow."
On tlic High Horse.
Pride, saith the good bodk, is going before
destruction and a haughty spirit beforo a fall.
Tho doom of nations and of men is ever writ
ten by the finger of fate, like that of Iielshazar,
when tho heart is uplifted with swelling vanity;
and wo might well reason from these premises,
that surely same great misfortune—some terri
ble humiliation is soon to befall the American
people; for the ceremonials of the late inaugu
ration have developed such a monstrous infla
tion of vanity, that perhaps it will bo a merci
ful dispensation of Providence which pricks the
wind-bag and lets off the superfluous gas. Hero
is a sample brag from the Herald :
A new era commences to-day with a popula
tion that may be practically estimated at any
figure twtween one hundred millions and five
hundred millions of pcoplo, marching shoulder
tos boulder under a system of politick consoli
dations on tho broad path of empire. Their
arms aro the steam engine, the electric tele
graph and the independent press, and tho victo
ries thoy will achieve aro beyond tho wildest
dreams of human thought to-day. The last gen
eration compassed progress from the slow coach
to the rapid car, from the uncertain aril to tho
certain paddlewheel, and has served its appren
ticeship with tho electric battery. Whosoever
believes that wo stop hero deceives himself os
greatly as did Calhoun when he believed he
could carry our social and political system back
to the feudal age.
Secretary A. T. Stewart’s Disability.
'Disabilities” aro as common as measels, but
we never thought they were going to break out
in the ranks of tho “trooly loyal.” This, how
ever, seems to bo tho melancholy case with
Hon. A. T. Stewart, President Grant's appoin
tee to the offloe of Secretary of tho Treasury.
He is, it seems, disabled by the set of Septem
ber 3, 1789, and Congress is now considering
whether thoy will grant Grant's request and re
lieve him. Section ninth of that act is the bar,
and we find it ajt forth in Bright! y 1 * Digest, as
follows:
Sec. IX. No person appointed to any office
instituted by this act, (Secretary of the Treas
ury) shall directly or indirectly lie concerned or
interested in carrying on the business of trade
of commerce; or be owner in whole or in part
or any sea vessel, or purchase by himself or an
other in trust, for him, any public lands or other
public property; or be concerned in tho pur
chase or disposal of any pnblic securities of any
8tate, or of the United States; or take or apply
to his own use any emolument or gain for nego
tiating or transacting any business in the said
department, other than that allowed by law.
And if any person shall offend against any of
the prohibitions of this act, he shall be deemed
guilty of a high misdemenor, and forfeit to the
United States the penalty of three thousand
dollars, and shall, upon conviction, be removed
from office, and forever thereafter be incapable
of holding any office nnder the United States :
Provided, That if any other person than a pub
lic prosecutor shall give information of any such
offence,upon which a prosecution and conviction
shall be held, one half the aforesaid penalty
of three thousand dollars, when recovered, shall
be for the use of the person giving such infor
mation.—Brightly’s Digest, page 884.
Equality Niggers.
Wo believe the Savannah negroes are going
to demonstrate a capacity in some departments
of life equal with the whites. Now what better
could a London or New York footpad do than
the following? We cut the acccount from the
Republican:
Last evening, about half-past seven o’clock,
an elderly gentleman named John Wallace, a
stranger in the city, while bargaining with some
negroes in the neighborhood of the Central
Railroad depot, to perform some services for
him, thought the bargain would be sooner con
summated by giving them a drink. He accord
ingly invited the party into a bar-room, where
be treated them. Upon proceeding to pay the
score, he imprudently opened a. pocket-book
containing eight hundred dollars in greenbacks,
from which ho took a bin, and settled with the
keeper of the place.
The mode of treatment proved effectual in
coining to an understanding with the negroes,
and Mr. Wallace started off, but he had only
gone a short distance when his progress, was
suddenly arrested by a pair of strong black
arms tightly encircling his neck, while a pair of
black hands pulled off Iris overcoat—in which
was the pocket-book and the $ S00—in a remark
ably short space of time. The job was finished
bv snatching his hat off his head, and the ne
groes—three in number—taking to flight and
for ‘‘Wms!"
A New Constitution.
The Now York World and its - correspondents
are talking about a Convention of the States to
form a new Federal Constitution. Two in
quiries arise in onr mind in relation to that
proposition: 1. What sort of a Constitution
would be made when Sumner, Greely, Phillips,
BiowdIow. Mrs. Stanton and the negroes,
stripped to the work; and 2. Whether any more
-attention would be paid to the new than to the
old.one. -- . .
“Representative Men.”
The Columbus Enquirer of Sunday,'editorial
ly points out the nature of Gen. Grant's response
to the demand of the Radicals, through McClure
and others, that he should put “ representative
men " of the Radical party in the Cabinet The
Enquirer says:
“ Washburns comes nearest to ‘filling the bill,'
but his dose personal relations towards Gen.
Grant,.and the fact that he lives in the same
town with the General, at once accounted for
the cause of his selection. Audit is a significant
fact that though his name had been canvassed
in connection with other Departments of the
Government, no one had supposed that a man
of his second-rate abilities would be chosen for
the most important and responsible Cabinet po
sition. Stewart was never s politician, and would
never have been chosen bad the wish of the Rad
ical party of New York been consulted. Cox
was Governor of Ohio when the war closed, an
nounced himself shortly afterwards as opposed
to negro suffrage, and has been shoved into the
background by his party ever since, until Gen.
Grant brought him forward again as a Cabinet
officer. Hoar and Borie are wholly unknown in
all political contests. Creswell is a “ Southern
loyalist,” whose present intense Unionism was
preceded by devotion to the South and sympa
thy for secession. He may be the “ representa
tive ” of one element of the Radical party, but
it is certainly its meanest element. No Cabinet
position can ever give him respectability.
The total exclusion of all the favorite “ repre
sentative men ” of the Radical party from the
Cabinet hiust be very galling to them, and sug
gestive of a “ bard to travel* in the immediate
future.
The Earth Closet anil the Treatment
or Wounds.
To the Editor of the Evening Pott:
As you were foremost in calling the attention
of the American public to the Earth Closet Sys
tem—the use of sifted dry earth for the deodor-
iation and disinfection of human faces—and
thus become the pioneers of a reform that
promises not only unspeakable relief from the
gravest annoyance of our Uvea, but the preven
tion of the greatest waste of the fertility of tho
earth, it is just that to you should be communi
cated an outgrowth of this system that offers, if
possible a still greatly benefit to suffering hu
manity.
One of the experimental commodes sent out
by tho Earth Closet Company was placed at the
disposal of Dr. Addmeli Hewson, of the Penn
sylvania Hospital, in Philadelphia. lbs intro
duction into the Rnrgical ward, where it has
been for two weeks in constant use by about
twenty patients, and has been subjected to the
severest test possible, has been so entirely sat
isfactory that it is proposed to substitute earth
closets lor water closets wherever these exist in
that institution.
At tho time of its introduction there was lying
in the ward a patient suffering from a very se
vere compound fracture of the lower leg. The
wound was in an unhealthy condition, and its
exudations, amounting to a pint in twenty-four
hours, were so offensive as to cause a sickening
and even dangerous stench, that the excellent
ventilation of the ward and the use of tho usual
disinfectants were hardly able even to mitigate.
It occurred to Dr. Hewson to test the power of
dry earth to absorb this odor, as it bad that of
excrement. The effect was magical. Not only
was the offensiveness entirely overoome, but the
effect on the character of the wound itself was
such as no previous treatment had been able to
compass. Tho suppuration was, within a few
days, so reduced that tho daily dressing of a sin
gle half pint of earth was not even saturated;
the edges of the flesh wound lost their inflamed
character; the intense pain of the sore was en
tirely relieved, and a healthy granulation has
ensued.
Such an indication of a newly fonnd heating
agent was not disregarded.
On Monday last, being in Philadelphia, I was
invited to attend the morning dressing of the
earth-treated wounds. This is what I saw:
First Two patients suffering from serious
varicose ulcers, after prolonged suffering, and
with little relief from the usual treatment, havo
ceased to be offensive to their ward-mates ; they
find their sores growing daily smaller; and pain
and inflammation have left them; and they feel
the certainty of an early cure.
Second. A railroad brakesman, whose hand
was—a year and half ago—crushed between tho
coupling heads of two cars, and who has never
been free from pain, and seldom from intenso
pain ; whose hand from the wrist to the knuck
les was a festering mass of carious bones and
inflamed flesh, and whose system had been so
reduced that he could not have survived the
amputation which alone can entirety relievo
him, is now happy in freedom from pain. His
flesh-wound has token on a healthy character,
and his strength is fast returning. He even
hopes to save his hand, but the long-continued
decay of the bone makes this impossible.
Third. Another brakesman, suffering from a
precisely similar injury, in no respect less seri
ous, but received within a few days, was imme
diately treated with dry earth. Its constant ap
plication has entirely prevented inflammation,
and a healthy healing of the flesh and knitting
of the bone will soon return him to his duties
with two useful hands.
Fourth. A farm laborer, on Friday last, bad
three of his fingers nearly cut off and bis hand
fearfully torn by a horse-power hay-cutter.
Since the first application of tho dry earth (a
few hours after the accident) he has been free
from pain, and he will save his hand.
Fifth. On Saturday last a laborer engaged in
breaking up condemned shells, exploded one
that was charged. The powder burned his face
and arms, and (seriously) one of his knees,
which was struck by a fragment of the iron, that
completely shattered tho knee pan. His burns
and the fracture were immediately dressed with
dry earth, and tho freedom from painsmd the
absence of inflammation havo been ns marked
in this case as in tho others. Without this dres
sing the knee joint must inevitably have become
involved, and the leg must have been lost. Now
the wound is evidently healing, and (although it
is too early to speak positively) there is every
reason to hope that the only result of the injury
will be a stiff knee.
Sixth. Within a few days a woman was brought
to this hospital with her neck and a large part of
her body very soverety and dangerously burned.
That she could escape long agony was beyond
hope. Yet on Monday her eyes was clear and
'calm, and her voice was strong, and when the
doctor asked her how she felt, she said she was
a great deal better, and that she bad no pain.
Seventh. Last Wednesday an entire breast
was removed for cancer, and the wound was
dressed with dry earth. It is now healing ra
pidly. There has been no inflammation and no
suppuration, and this woman, too—calm and
happy looking, with a healthy color and a steady
voice—spoke far more than her cheerful words
in thankfulness for her relief.
Surely, with our gratitude to the Vicar of
Forifington, who has conferred the greatest ben
efit on the human race that it has ever been
given to one man to accomplish, we must unite
onr thanks to the senior snigeon of the Penn
sylvania Hospital for thus applying the princi
ples of his invention to the saving of life and
limb, and to the alleviation of unspeakable suf
fering.
And the end, I trust, is not yet. It seems in
evitable that the pustules of small pox must
give up their pain and their offensrreness at
this magic touch of mother earth, and if it is
true that its contagion spreads from its exuda
tions, may we not hope that Dr. Hewson has
bound its feet as Mr. Mbale has those of chol
era ? Bespectfulty, Geo’ E. Wabiso, Jr.
New York, February 24, 1869.
The Memphis Avalanche on the Inaugural
-—The Avalanche of the oth says:
Not a word is said of the Congressional scheme
of Reconstruction. Urging the necessity of
more fully restoring civil law to all parts of the
country is the only reference to policy for the
South. And this contains nothing proscriptive.
But the new President has no unkind word for
“rebels.” He speaks to the whole people., The
word “South” is not mentioned; rebellion ap
pears but once; and no class is pointed to a back
seat. There are numerous allusions to “fbe
country,” and “the people,” and “patient for
bearance of one toward another throughout the
land” is soelmnly invoked. We repeat, there is
much in the address which' will meet with gen
eral approval; but tittle especially significant.
The announcement of the Cabinet will reveal
what is in store for us.
Mabxzn Van Bueen, late ex-President of the
United States, once remarked to a gentleman of
this city: “I have made it a rule of my life to
always attend church on Sunday, and I have
counseled hundreds of young men to do so, for
it rarely will occur that one who maintains the
decorum consequent upon a habitual weekly
cleansing of person and decency of dress, and
becoming attendance at church, will fail much
below the standard of respectability in a com
munity.”' ,, |

The English Press on the Alabama
Treaty.
The London papers have elaborate editorial
comments upon the rejection of tho Alabama
rlaima treaty by the Senate Committee. The
Times believes the real ground for the rejection
is the charge of British bad faith made in tho
Boston petition, signed by George B. Upton and
others. The Daily Press says;
The English people wiU.be unanimous in feel
ing that their concessions put them in the right in
this matter before the moral judgment of the
world. We have satisfied the government which
first advanced the claims upon us, have conceded
everything which American diplomacy felt it
conld fairly insist upon, and it is not now for us
to take any fartherstop in the matter. It is quite
impossible for Englishmen to understand what
their American cousins wont, and we can now do
nothing bnt wait for some intelligible exposition
of there requirements. But it must be dis
tinctly understood that we wait in the full
conviction that we have granted all that conld
bo granted; have satisfied to the full aU the de
mands made upon ns; and have thus complete
ly cleared oureelvea from all responsibility for
the failure of these long and troublesome nego
tiations. We, at least, went into those nego
tiations with a desire to settle them, and that
desire has prevailed over every other sentiment.
We were anxious to close up an open wound;
to remove cause of offence; to give a costly
proof of our desire for peace, union and broth
erhood between kindred nations. Henceforth,
no responsibility belongs to ns. We all all re
gret that a perpetual danger to onr friendly re
lations should exist; bnt if these Alabama
claims remain forever unsettled, the blame will
not rest on England. It must be clearly under
stood that, though we may stand upon our con
cessions, and grant them as readily to the gov
ernment of General Grant as we have done to
that of Mr. Johnson, new proposals for settle
ment must now oome from the other side if they
are ever to be mode at all.
Press Telegraph Service.
Hie Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel justly
says:
Any movement, looking to a disruption of the
existing news service of tho Southern Press,
should be carefully examined into. No undue
haste in experimental attempts, merely for the
sake of change and with the bare hope of a bet
ter and cheaper service, should be encouraged
without a full knowledge of the undertaking,
and the outlay necessary to the proper and ef
ficient conduct of on independent news service.
The enthusiasm of somo of onr brethren of the
Press upon this subject, which is of great con
sequence to the press and people of the South,
seems to have got the tipper-hand of their bet
ter judgment, but we feel confident that the
older and more experienced publishers in the
South will enter into no new and complicated
scheme unless it can bo clearly demonstrated
that a change wiR prove beneficial to the pubUo
and profitable to themselves.
The Association known as tho New York As
sociated Press has brought the telegraph ser
vice to its present state of perfection. To this
Association does it owo its paternity, and in onr
lengthened intercourse with it wo have found its
managers courteous, liberal and just.
Wo are in the main satisfied with onr present
telegraphic reports, and we intend to receive
them from tho New York Association Press until
wo are assured of the fact that a better and
cheaper sorvico can be introduced, which, from
tho lights before us and tho experience behind
us, we think exceedingly doubtful.
l’rOHiilrni’* Inauguration Among flic
Financier*.
The monoy dispatch to the Louisville Journal
dated New York 4th, Bays : ,
Government bonds advanced slightly on the
reception of Grant’s inaugnral.’ This document
was well received in business circles, but had
only a partial effort. Tho total absence in it of
any allusion to the Republican party and its
platform occasions an angry comment among
the Republicans, which, .together with tho fail
ure to repeal the civil tenure law, creates ap
prehensions of an early collision between the
President and Congress, and until matters are
better defined, the speculation halts.
A Clerical Buffoon.—Forney's Press chron
icles the following from the Ameriaan Athens:
Rev. Mr. Fnlton, of Boston, in giving notice
of tho inauguration prayer-meeting at the JIo-
ionaon, twelvo o’clock, Thursday, said: “Now
that the nation is to have the extreme privilege
of having tho ‘curse removed’ which has so long
nfflictcd us, it becomes us to pray that the boon
granted us by the people may under the gui
dance of God, prove to be a Grant from heaven.”
Stale Readino.—Northern speculations about
tho Cabinet read stale. Not one of them hits
the mnrk in any singular particular, except that
Schofield is to hold over. Evidently the news
came upon them like a thunderclap in*a clear
sky.
Hie invitations to a “hard times party” in
Wisconsin aro issued on brown paper, and the
instructions to such guests are to dress in every
day clothes and bring crackers in his pocket.

In the Republican Convention held hero on the
5th a resolution waa adopted that the Government
of Georgia is as practically and completely under
the control of those who spurn the Government of
the United States and the policy of Congress as it
was during the rebellion, and cannot, therefore, be
n-cognized as legally or actually reconstructed:
therefore, they earnestly and urgently ask Congress
to provide for arigid enforcement of the laws thereof,
under the authority of the United States by reas
sembling the persona elected to the General Assem
