Tolving the admission of Senators; tenure-of-

the reorganization of the judiciary, which pro-

the bill for the removal of political disabilities,
and the bill for the enforcement of the four

The Western papers say that the motion to
omit Georgia from the list—that is to say, not
to consider the political condition of the State,
received but seven votes in the caucus. Some
of the Seaators saythe proper disposition of these
measures would consume a month and how they

Meeting of School Commissioners.
The School Commissioners of Bibb comity,
met at the Ordinary's Office yesterday at 3 p. *.,
and made the following additional appointments:
Nathaniel D. Sneed to teach colored children in
tbe city,
Enoch Parker, Swift Creek, near Davis’ Mill,
to teach colored children.
Andrew Stewart, to teach white children in
Warren District.
Wade H. Hunnicutt to teach white children
in Warrior District.
S. H. Everett permission to move his school
from East Macon to Fourth or Fifth Street.
The Board also adopted the following reso
lution:
Resolved, That, in the judgment of the Board,
the County Educational Fund should not be
charged with the tuition of children whose par
ents are living and can possibly provide the
means of education, and that ordinarily, parents
who can furnish comfortable clothing and sub
sistence, will be deemed able to make provision
for the education of their children.
Board adjourned to Saturday 27th, at 3
o’clock.
General Breekeuritlgc.
The return of Gen. John O. Breckenridge to
Kentucky was an ovation all along the road,
proving as the Kentuckians say, that he is more
loved UuM any man in the State. At Lexington
a crowd turned out in a drenching rain to sere
nade him, and here is what he said while the
rain was falling in torrents:
“ Fmiow-CmzEXS—In returning home after
ao long an absence, I would be a very strange
being if I were insensible to this very cordial re
ception from my friends and neighbors. I feel
it deeply, and I thank you sincerely. Recently
I have observed that it is very difficult for per
sons in my situation to pursue tost line of con
duct that they may wish to pursue. Neverthe
less it may be proper to say that I accept this
informal, bnt most cordial welcome, ae purely
personal, and containing no particle of political
significance. [Avoice, “That'sright."] Indeed,
I can and will say that the tremendous events
of the last eight years have had a tendency to
deaden, if not to destroy old party feelings, and
for myself I can say that I no more fed the po
litical excitements that marked the scenes of my
former years than if I were an extinct volcano.
I will not now say more, except to express the
pleasure first I feel in coming back to the people
whom I ao dearly loved."
been finally squared—leaving a heavy balance
in their favor—“to them and their heirs forever.”
Upon this presumption theyhave evidently been
acting for the past eight or nine years. Deaf to
all the traditions of the past and all the plead-:
ings of nature, the study of the New England
politicians has been how, on the one hand, they
can most vitally injure and degrade the Southern
whites; and, on the other, how they can most

No reasonable man can be
lieve that the proposition of a citizenship and
suffrage of mixed colors could secure, at beat,
more thanathirdof the popular vote, and hence
the effort is to impose it upon the people in de
fiance of their will.
It is true the Constitution provides for amend
ments in the precise manner in which the’ fif
teenth amendment is sought to be enacted; but
evidently it was far from the intention of that
instrument that the provision should be used
in bad faith. It was supposed that State Leg
islators would be elected with reference to pro
posed amendments of a vital character, so that
the voice of the people should be heard hi the
proposition to adopt or refuse them.
In this case, however, the Legislatures in a
large number of the States have been elected
without reference to this question; and it is
suddenly sprung upon them and forced through
by party drill. *
In order to give the people a chance to say
whether negro suffrage shall be engrafted on
the Constitution, the Indiana Democrats took
the extreme measure of resigning and leaving
their Legislature without a quorum. It was a
course justified by the emergency, and they say
they mean to persist in it until the people shall
have a chance to declare, at the ballot-box,
whether African citizenship shall be established
by the Constitution. Messrs. Hendricks, Nib-
lack, Holman and Kerr, Democratic Congress
men from Indiana, endorse it and issue a short
appeal to the people against the amendment
The attempt to. accomplish amendments of the
Constitution by surprise and strategy is a gross

New England an unexampled tide of wealth.
But this exemption from the common fate,
although brought about by cunningly contrived
and partial legislation, would provoke little ill-
will, did it develops itiff ordinary and natural
fruits in a generous purpose and policy towards
other sections—bnt the bitterest and most vin
dictive and unsparing counsels come ever from'
New England.
Whenever some new and monstrous proposi
tion of indignity to the Southern whites—some
new scheme to outrage reason and turn society
in the South topey tarry, it is sure to originate
in New England. The heel of Massachusetts, of
the old thirteen, has always been heaviest on

"Protection” pushed to present'extremities

is an .anthropophagna to whoever stands against

necessity for more white votes and are pressing

The project of building a raidroad front Fort
Valley is much talked of. The people of the
Valley believe it wHl kill their town. They say
the cotton of the county will then be Bhipped to
Brunswick. Cut we hardly think so, but rather
believe it will work the other way. It is a well
known design of the Macon dr Brunswick Rail
road to construct a branch of its road from
Ha wkinsville through Perry to Fort Valley, then
running into the Southwestern and completing
a more direct, straight line from Columbus to
the Atlantic neaboard than is now in operation.
What effect will this have upon Macon? It is
almost useless for an interior city to attempt to
hold a system of railways well in hand. One
might as well expect to hold ten eels. We ninst
command trade and prosperity by the inate vir
tue of our own city. Put up plenty of factories
and trust to luck for tie balance.
