So Favors Expected.
Some of our contemporaries, it seems to ns,
erect a false standard of judgment when they
propose to measure Gen. Grant’s administration
by its “fawn" to the South. If we can only
have fair, intelligent and just dealing, that is
about as much as we want, and certainly all we
have any right to expect from a Republican ad
ministration.
It will be a God-send if we get so much from
Gen. Grant. There are not many Republicans
or Radicals in the country who would give it to
us—very few, indeed, who would fail to use eve
ry administrative power and influence to build
up, on an Ethiopian foundation, a Southern
Radical party at the expense of the quiet and
prosperity of this section.
Review the past four years and yon will see
that the Radical party have sacrificed the Con
stitution and everything else to this single ob
ject. They have struck down their own Presi
dent and kept the whole country in a ceaseless
turmoil to attain that single end—party pre
dominance in the South based on negro suf
frage. Their hand was heavy on every interest
of the white man in the Southern country ; and
the advice, solicitation and testimony of a lit*
tie minority of carpet-bag adventurers and their
following of ignorant negro politicians, were
conclusive against the judgment, wishes and
affidavits of the whole body of intelligent South
ern whites.
Indeed, to state the case correctly, it was
sufficient for the Radicals to know the opinions
and wishes of the Southern whites to drive them
to directly opposite conclusions; and this seems
to be pretty nearly the case with Congress at
the present time.
With a party in that temper, we might reason
ably apprehend an executive exponent of the
same disposition. Bntif, insteadof that, we shall
find him fair and reasonable—disposed to listen
to one side as well as to the other, and willing
to take a course for the benefit of the country,
instead of the particular benefit of radicalism at
the expenso of the country, much trouble will be
•voided, which, in the complete triumph of the
party, we had good reason to fear. It seems
tons, this is the true standpoint from which
Southern Democrats shonld judge Grant’s ad
ministration.
Borrowing Paper*.
Wo have complaints from subscribers some
times, that they do not receive their papers,
especially the weekly edition. They say they
fail to get a number ono week and receive two
the noxt. This shows the fault is not in our
mailing department, and looks very much as
though the old game of borrowing from Post
masters other persons’ papers by those who are
too dose to pay for them, was carried on. We
would respectfully ask Postmasters to deliver
our papers only to those who subscribe, or are
authorized by subscribers to take them out.
The haboratoi7 Building.
At the session of the State Agricultural Socie
ty in Macon, last winter, a committee was ap
pointed to arrange, if possible, for procuring
from tho Federal Government, the buildings
and gitmnda of the “Confederate laboratory,"
near Macon, for the purposes of the 8odety.
They are splendidly located and adapted to the
pnrpose of agricultural exhibitions, and as gen
eral headquarters of the Society. We learn
from Secretary Lewis that, upon application of
the representatives from Georgia, the order for
the sale of these buildings has been counter
manded, and it is not improbable that the hopes
of the Society in relation to them may be
realized.
Revoking Ex-Prcaident Johnson’s
Pardons.
Just before his term expired Ex-President
Johnson pardoned Jacob and Moses DePrey,
farther and son, oonvicted in New York, for re
ceiving fraudulent whisky and sentenced to the
Penitentiary one year. Shortly after the par
dons were received, Secretary Washburno tele
graphed United States Marshal Murry to regard
the pardons cancelled and return the same to
the State department.
A Heayt Job.—The Columbus Enquirer is
down upon tho outrage evidence from that sec
tion of the Stato before the Reconstrution Com
mittee, and makes a case of it. Bat it is like
killing flies in June—every one of them may be
Bueessfully met and overcome, but as Mrs. Par
tington justly observes “that’s sich a many one
on ’em."
The Washington reporter of the New Orleans
Picayune telegraphs, 3d inst, that negro appli
cants for office have made their appearance at
the national capitol, that their applications
created considerable astonishment in Radical
quarters, and that General Grant refused to see
a delegation of them.
A squad nf negroes tramped on foot all the
way from North Carolina to Washington, that
they might be present at the inaugnration of
Grant. They were not invited to the ball.
Bbownxow’s Health.—A Washington dis
patch says Brownlow's health is greatly im
paired, and his extreme feebleness of appear-
- once and manner excited a painful degree of in
terest. x.
The Louisville CocxtEB-JouKun.—This es
tablishment issued on the 7th a supplementary
sheet, devoted to a historical review of the pa
per—an illustrated description of the new and
elegant publishing house, and a detail of its
modus operandi.
The Ihdiaha Democrats are backing up their
Senators and Representatives who resigned to
defeat the 15th amendment, and denounce the
attempt to foist that amendment upon the States
without an appeal to the people, end after the
people have substantially rejected it as a ir
onical outrage.
Agricultural Periodicals.—The American
Farmer, for March, is received, and contains a
vast amount of timely agricultural reading.—
Worthington & Lewis, Baltimore.
The Rural Southerner, for the same month,
is just published, by Samuel A. Echols, Atlanta.
Terms $1 00 per annum
We can very well understand the grotesque
ludicrousness ofa portion of the inaugural pro
cession. “Soon after it left the capitol it i
joined by a rabble of freedmen—black, ragged
and dirty, carrying stick, umbrellas and bundles
of old duds. ”
Wk are indebted to Senator Speer for a copy
of the report of the Joint Committee upon the
Western and Atlantic railroad. It is a pam
phlet of one hundred pages, and the best speci
men of public printing we have seen in Georgia.
Right About, Fate)
The Kentuckians say, that sinoe emancipation
“a fatal change has come over the negro as an
agricultural laborer,” and they are, consequent
ly, digesting an immigration system which will
bring in white labor from the North and Europe.
Kentucky presents such extraordinary induce
ments to immigration that there is no doubt, in
a few years, she will be as populous as Ohio.
This prospect has stirred up a violent opposi
tion to the immigration bill among the Kentucky
radicals, white and black, just as siniiliar meas
ures are beginning to do in other Southern
States. They have no idea that ibis negro pow
er, in a new shape, shall be overborne, curtail
ed or abated by white immigration to the South.
In old slavery^times it was the cry of the
free Boilers that the “date holder" sealed up
the South against white immigration and im
provement, and their destruction was therefore
demanded by the interests of civilization. No
sooner, however, is the “negro power” in the
hands of slaveholders prostrated, than a new
“negro power” is erected under the auspices
of the Radicals, avowedly bent on preventing
white immigration. *
Then it -was charged by the Radicals that the
slaveholders were wielding this negro power
against the white race—against civilization—
trade—progress and refinement. How is the
“negro power” rune wielded in the hands of the
Radicals? Clearly against the white race—the
white ballot—white supremacy—white intelli
gence, order, progress and civilization. It is
wielded for the perpetuation of negro power,
negro ballots—negro supremacy for the bene
fit of carpet-bag Radicalism. It is wielded to
perpetuate a system of shiftless, slovenly, semi-
barbarous labor, and to check the onward pro
gress of Caucasian civilization, intelligence,
culture and refinement.
The Radicals in Congress charge falsely that
the Southern whites are now opposed to white
immigration to the Sooth: We, on the contrary,
organize societies and appropriate money to en
courage such immigration from all parts of the
world. We are supremely anxious to introduce
more white people into this section, with
their better agricultural and mechanical labor-
better morals and a more intelligent suffrage
than the Radicals have forced upon ns. Where -
ever these movements have encountered oppo
sition, itoomes from the Radicals who are op
posed to a disturbance of the relative political
forces in the South, and to an improvement of
the ballot Thus the Radicals take up the cast
off garments of what they used to call the “slave
power” and give the world a new illustration of
“negro power” more fatally at war with civiliza
tion than any yet complained of.
Pot Called tbe Kettle Blaek Face.
The Washington special of March 6th, to tho
Louisville Courier Journal, says:
The special message of the President to the
Senate to-day, asking for the repeal of the sec
tion of tho Treasury act of 1789, which prevents
Mr. Stewart from accepting the office of Secre
tary of the Treasury, created a profound sensa
tion. It was looked upon as a dictation that
smacked of the days of Andrew Johnson, and all
efforts to consider it at once failed utterly, the
leading Radicals declaring in conversation that
it wss a matter of too profound importance to be
rushed through in a day. “Why shonld we re
peal this time-honored clause, creating one of
tho departments of the Government, merely to
allow an importer to decide on dozens of his own
eases now pending in tho Treasury ?’’ said a
Senator. It was urged that the President
should have taken well posted men into his con
fidence, men who knew the laws, so that he
tcould not hate made tuch a terrible blunder on
the tern firet dag of hit official exutence as the
Chief Magistrate. Others declared that the
easiest way to settle the matter was to send in
another name for Secretary of the Treasury.
Although the House was nothin session, a Urge
numbers of its members were about the capitol,
and tho opinion was uniformly expressed against
any repeal or modification of the Uw in ques
tion. It looks now as though Mr. Stewart would
have to sellout his business or resign the posit-
tion be accepted.
The Senate, it seems to us, is in a bad con
dition to talk about that blander. They eon-
firmed the nomination of Mr. Stewart unani-
moutly in the face of the Uw; and if fifty odd
Senators of the United States were profoundly
ignorant of the Uw organizing the department,
how oonld they expect more, of a soldier imper-
fectlv educated and whose studies and attention
had never been drawn to these matters ? It
teat a blander -, bat the Senate, having unani
mously and notoriously committed themselves
to it, had no chance to throw stones.
The Breasixo up or the Ihdiaea Legisla
ture.—The resignation of all the Democratic
members of the Indiana Legislature having
been published, the following, which is the form
in which all were written, will explain the rea
son for their action:
Senate Chamber, \
Indiaxtpolzs, March 3,1869. >
Got. Conrad Baker:
Sir—I hereby resign the office of Senator, in
resign the ofi
the present General Assembly of the Stole, from
the counties of Cass and Fulton.
I beg leave to add, that I do so for the pur-
«e of
pose of securing to the people of Indians, and
particnUriy to my own constituency, the right
i the adoption or rejec-
to express their voice oh
tion of the Constitutional Amendment, enforc
ing negro suffrage, which is proposed to be
adopted by the present Legislature without such
an expression of the people.
Respectfully yours,
Charles B. Tiictt.tt
The night proceeding the morning upon which
these resignations were handed to the Governor,
a cancns was held in the Senate Chamber, at
tended by every Democratic member except
two, who were absent on account of sickness.
This action was then and there resolved upon
unanimously. Governor Baker issued writs or
dering a new election in all the counties thus un
represented—the election totakepUce in April.
The bolting members will all be candidates, and
the papers say they will be re-elected by increased
majorities. In that case they will repeat the
sameT thing over shonld a motion prevail to vote
upon the constitutional amendment.
Municipal Election in Brunswick.
The Banner of the 5th, says: On last Mon
day the following gentlemen were elected for
Uie present year:
Fob Matos—James Houston.
Fob Aldermen—BurrWinton, H. B. Robinson,
Richard Orme, G. S. Cook, AL B. Holland, Jas.
T. Birin, C. G. Moore, U. Dart, Jr.
The election was conducted quietly. The
colored people joined harmoniously with the
whites and showed a disposition to confide in
their old friends. The colored people of Brans-
wick can’t bo beat for good behaviour. We
hope they will always act in the future as they
have in the past and all will be well with them
and the whites.
The Grant-Pollard Verdict.—The Rich
mond Dispatch closing np its report of the trial,
says:
We learn from an undeniable source that the
verdict of the jury was not founded in the
slightest degree upon the plea Of provocation.
The Tninda of the jurymen were generally * de
cided before any evidence upon that point had
been offered, and there was but little difficulty
in coming to the final conclusion. The instruc
tions of the Judge left them no room for consid
ering the question of provocation, and brought
tbe issue to one of life and death. This being
the case, no one of the jurors was willing to say
positively, upon the evidence adduced, that the
accused was guilty of murder in the first degree.
Joterson, at his inaugural, rode on horseback
without a single guard, hitched Ins horse at the
capitol grounds, and walked into the capitol
in the most unceremonious manner.
But two members of Grant’s Cabinet were
ever in Congress—Washburno and CresswelL
Gen. Grant, says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
“seemed to consider the fact that Congress wbb
now in very bad odor with the people, and that
tho less any of his appointees bod to do with it
the better.”

FROM ATLANTA.
Fifteenth Amendment in both Houses
Governor
Characteristic Message Iron
Bulloch.
Alter Angler Again.
Special to the Telegraph.]
Atlanta, March 10—Night.
Senate.—Most of the morning was con
sumed in reconsidering bills.
The Governor sent in a message containing the
Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States.
Mr. Winn offered a resolution looking to its adop
tion.
Mr. Hinton moved to lay the whole matter on the
table for the present—lost, ayes 13,{nays 16.
The whole matter was then made the special or
der for Friday next, on a motion of Mr. Wooten,
who supported the same in an able speech.
The Governor, In his message, urged the General
Assembly to lose no time in its adoption. Itwas
specially designed to secure political privileges to
the colored man; that this Assembly had violently
wrested them from him, and it wifi not be recog
nized as valid by the power proposing tbe amend
ment nulffM the Assembly reverse its action. He
urges that by its adoption, and permitting mfi to
vote, it carries, necessarily, the right to hold office.
Foreigners, after becoming naturalized, vote and
bold offices, except that of President, and can the
native bora, who are enfranchised, be any the less
ibis ? On the contrary, the native negro, hav
ing been made a citizen, win be eligible to offices
which are denied to foreigners. Enfranchised by
this means, the representatives of the colored race
will be heard in the Council Halls of tbe nation.
By prompt action now, we shall have the State re
stored to all her rights and privileges in tbe Union.
He takes tho ground that the Fourteenth Amend
ment is yet disregarded in this State.
Tbe bill granting aid to the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad was ordered to be transmitted to tbe
House.
Mr. Candler offered a resolution, requesting the
House to return the bill, thus bringing np again tbe
whole subject, pending which the Senate adjourned.
House.—'The House reconsidered the bill remov
ing the Capitol to Milledgeville, by a vote of 81 yeas
to 52 nays.
The reeolntkm adopting the fifteenth amend
ment was made the special order for to-morrow.
On the motion to lay the matter on the table, it
is noticed that some of tbe extreme Radicals de
clined voting. Conservative Republicans and mod
erate Democrats voted against the motion.
It is surmised that the amendment will be adopted.
The House voted to extend the session until
Thursday next
The bill declaring void all sales, unauthorized of
wild lands, passed.
Tbe bill compelling Ordinaries and Sheriffs to ad
vertise in a paper in their own county, and if there
none, then in the paper having tho largest dr-
Tbo veto message from tbe Oovemqr. of tbe res
olution snaking an advance of five thousand dollars
to the State Printer, wss received. The massage
reflects severely on Angier. It says the failure of
Bard to get his money arises from the fact of unau
thorized by on individual who has, lately,
exercised the privileges of his office simply to pro
mote his own arbitrary views, in utter disregard of
tbe duties pertaining to his office.
Tbe resolution was passed over tbe veto—yeas 79,
nays 31.
No election of Foreign Commissions, as tbe bill
has not yet been received from the Governor. There
are about forty aspirants for the office. W.
Veto Message of Governor Bollock.
Atlanta, March 10.—Tbe Governor’s Message,
transmitting the fifteenth amendment, was taken
np and read in both Houses to-day. The Governor
says it is a source of great gratification to tho lovers
of liberty and republican principles throughout the
coon try, that Congress has given ns this further
pledge that tho declaration of our fathers, that all
men are created equal, shall be recognizod as a
reality, and is no longer a mere empty sound. The
equal rights of every man, either by himself or his
election as s representative, to participate in framing
laws by which he is to. be governed, and the selec
tion of persons to exeento them, is the very foun
dation of a republican government; and that one
race or oolor shall undertake to exclude from polit
ical privileges any other race or color, is not only s
practical denial of tbe principle on which our inden
lenco was originally delcared, and the govern
ment subsequently founded, but displays a thirst
for power—natural, it is true, to human nature, bat
by no means creditable to its sense of justice.
Tbs colored race is free all over this broad land;
one more step was needed, and this amendment, if
adopted by three-fourths of the States represented
in the Union, completes it. It will then be written
in the fundamental Uw, above the strife of faction
and the reach of passion, that all men, without dis
tinction of race or color, shall have equal political
privileges. Were there any doubt as to the suffi
ciency of this amendment to confer equal political
privileges without regard to race or color; were it
uttered that the right to vote did not necessarily in
clude the right to hold office, it would certainly be
dissipated and refuted by the arguments advanced
in the debates of Congress on tbe passage of the
joint resolution proposing this amendment, as well
sa by the expressed opinions of the soundest law
yers in the nation.
Foreigners deprived from voting or holding office
in their own country may become citizens and en
franchised in this, and are eligible to any office
except President, Tice President sad Senators of
gross. Can native born be less eligible? On
tbe contrary, native bora negroes having been made
citizens and voters by the National Constitution,
will be eligible to offices which are denied by the
Constitution to the enfranchised foreigner. Adopt
ing this amendment wifi, therefore, be hailed as
tbe final triomphof freedom and equal rights for
all, and will blot out distinctions of political rights
baaed upon race, color or previous condition as to
slavery.
Its adoption by the nation will be the consummation
of the progress of the last eight years toward the
perfect accord between the theory of Republican
ism and its practical enforcement. In ratifying this
proposed amendment to tbe Constitution of the
United States, we should remember that we there
by renew, for ourselves, obligations which we have
not heretofore fully recognized. To he consistent
and give evidence that we act in good faith, we
most at once voluntarily yield to tbe colored citizens
the rights winch have been wrested from them, and
restore their representatives to their rightful po
sitions, that their voices may be heard in your
halls and their votes recorded upon public measurse.
The ratification of the amendment by your body
and a recognition of its requirements, together with
those of the fourteenth amendment, which are as
yet disregarded,will, I sincerely hope and confident
ly believe, secure for ns a full and complete recog
nition as a State, and definitely .settle our political
differences, and set at rest, finally and forever, the
feeling of uncertainty and insecurity which now ex
ists and disturbs a large portion of our people.
The fifteenth amendment was made the special
order for Friday in the Senate, and for tomorrow
in the House.

HOW LONG THE CABINET WILL LAST.
However, it is well understood among the
friends of the administration that the present
Cabinet is going to pieces at an early day. Gen.
Schofield intends to return to the army and Gen..
Cox is to be transferred from the Interior to the
War Department. The Northwest is to step into
the Interior Department in the person of Jas.
F. Wilson, of Iowa. Borie, who has not accept
ed yet, may decline, when a new man will have
to be selected for the Navy Department. Wash-
borne has not decided to stay in the State De
partment, and will probably resign. This may
give the President an opportunity to heed the
expressions of discontent and disappointment
that ran in the press and among the people
without regard to party, over the existing Cab
inet
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
It has been ascertained from a reliable source
that among the first of the the President’s of
ficial acts will be the recall of Reverdy John
son, General John A. Dir, and Watson Webb,
Minister to Brazil. At present no one can even
conjecture who will succeed to tho English and
French embassies, unless Washburno goes to
the IstteT. Col. Burbridge, of Kentudcy, is
strongly named for the Brazilian Mission, Ming
indorsed by over one hundred Senators and
isentatives. It is said that William Cum-
, who was beaten for the United States Sen
ate from Indiana, aspires to be the successor of
George Bancroft at the Prussian Court.
[LouittiUe Courier-Journal.
The New York Times on the Cabinet.—Tho
Times of the Gth, says:
The Cabinet as a whole will not commend it
self to the favor of politicians, because it has
not been taken from their ranks; nor are the
men who compose it sufficiently well known to
tho public at large to command in advance tbe
full confidence of the community. Bat in the
very freshness of its character, in the fact that
its members are business men rather than poli
ticians, and are likely to make the practical in
terests of the country their first care, we see
ground for believing that the Cabinet will, by
its practical working, vidicate the wisdom of its
Tribune on the Cabucet. — The New York
Tribune’s specials upon the Cabinet, say:
It is difficult to give a fair idea of the popular
feeling, but there is no disguising the fact that
the announcement caused great disappointment
at the Capitol. Messrs. Washburno and Cress-
well are looked upon as the only politicians of
national reputation among the selection.
