WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 17, i860,
Keconntrnell on.
Butler of Massachusetts, it seems, succeeds
Bout-well as Chairman of the House Reconstruc
tion Committee. We gather from
sources that -what is anticipated, in relation to
Georgia, is that within a few days Congress will
pass a bill directing the Gorernor to reconvene
the original reconstructed Legislature together
(including, of course, the negro members) and
purge it by applying the test-oath or the oath
required by the supplemental Reconstruction
act of the 40th Congress; and that all the act
ings and doingB of the present legislature will
be annulled as sets of usurpation.
This seems to be the idea among the Radi
cals, and should the facts realize it, we think
the people of Georgia had better apply for the
benefit of the bankrupt law in a body. An
other Legislature coming upon the heels of this
one now tunning in Atlanta will beggar the peo
ple.
Cannot Congress fix upon some less expen
sive and more quiet method of reconstruction •'
Why not send down that file of marines and
take possession? Give them ample powers to
“run” the State, just aa the Reconstruction
Committee may direct So they give us honest
fn .Tines, who will be satisfied with a fair per
diem of three or four dollars a day (and not take
nine) we think the concern will work as well as
any other the committee are likely to impro
vise for us, and be just as much a State govern
ment, besides being economical. We hope the
oommittee will take our poverty into considera
tion and show more mercy than the Atlanta
Legislature has done. The Atlanta Legislature
have proved themselves the hardest masters we
have had since the war.
The'Future of Georgia.
Conversing with Representative Gove yester
day, he remarked that, outside of our political
bearings and complications, more interest in
Georgia was manifested in Washington and the
North than in any other State of the South, or
of the Union. Our material condition and re
sources were subjects of never ending and
ger inquiry and speculation, and the disposition,
both to immigrate to and to invest in this State,
is wide-spread and increasing. So soon as the
groundless apprehensions of lawlessness and
violence in Georgia abate or disappear, we may
look with entire confidence for a rush of popula
tion and* capital, which, in five yean, win place
Goorgia in population, wealth and productive
power, far in advance of any position she has
yet oocupied, or of any which we have antic!
pated for her.
Contrary to what would naturally be expected,
the most interest and inquiry are displayed in re
lation to the middle and Southern sections of
Georgia and not for those parts of the State
most resembling the North in climate, soil and
products. But the whole State ia regarded by
the North aa a country of extraordinary natural
resources and bound to become, at no distant
day, one of the wealthiest and most powerful
States of the Union.
The Sxows nr Matins.—The depth of snow in
the woods of Maine ia almost unprecedented at
this season of the yeor. In many places it lays
seven feet deep on a level. The Bangor Whig
says some of the gang of lumbermen, in starting
to oome out, have found it necessary to put
their horses upon large aleds, to be drawn over
the drifts by men upon snow shoes. It has
been impossible in some sections to get supplies
to the camps, and henoe operations are to some
extent suspended. Many lumbermen from the
neighborhood of Mooaehead Lake have oome
oat.
PbxszdestGeahts Routine Business.—The
President, says the National Intelligencer, has
authorized the following official statement of
business arrangements at tho Executive Man
sion. Cabinet meetings will be held on Tues
days and Fridays at 12 o’clock. On these
days, between the hours of 10 and 12, his office
will be thrown open to general visitors. Appli
cations for office must be made to the Cabinet
officer in charge of the department in-which the
office ia solicited. The President will not con
sider any such applicants until they have passed
through the head of the department to which
they pertain. The President will receive official
calls at his office each day between 10 and 12 a.
ic. After 12 no one will be admitted except
Cabinet officers, and those whom he has made
special engagements.
Anotheb Pipes in Fobstth.—The Advertiser
says it is in contemplation to establish another
newspaper in Forsyth by “a joint stock com
pany." We are afraid that company will never
pay dividends. Take your money and support
the Advertiser. It is a paper conducted with
great industry and judgment, and entitled to the
most liberal patronage of our friends in Mon-
roo.
Cxvxx. Rights Csss.—New Yoke, March 11.—
In the casp of Louisa Jacobs, against the Atlan
tic Navigation Company, in which the plaintiff,
who is colored, claimed damage for being re
fused a first class passage on the steamer to Sa
vannah, after purchasing first class tickets, the
jury were unable to agree, two standing out for
the defendhnt, and were discharged.
The Indianapolis Journal states that the bolt
ing Democrats of the Indiana Legislature—who,
of course, expect to be reelected to fill the va
cancies caused by their own resignation—have
determined not to qualify unless the Republicsn
members will agree to abandon all attempts to
pass the Fifteenth Amendment.
Lisobebs rsort China.—The Mobile Tribune
says the Southern planters must look to China
for a supply of labor, and suggests that a sub
scription of $500,000 be started to inaugurate
the movement.
Geobge P. Ashbusne, arraigned and indicted
for opening and embezzling letters and stealing
from the Post Office, was brought before Judge
Brskine, at Atlanta, last Monday, and had his
trial fixed for next Monday.
Gen. Shestdan.—A Washington dispatch says:
Gen. Sheridan arrived yesterday, and will be as
signed to a military division with head quarters
at St. Loins, instead of going to New Orleans, as
originally intended. "
Ora Fnurr Chop.—Wo are pleased to know
that our fruit crop has not been injured. Peach,
pear, plum and apple trees are full of the young
crop, and if we have no more frost the greatest
abundance will be produced.
Hon. S. F. Gove, Representative from the 4th
Congressional District of Georgia, has returned
'from Washington and was in this office yester
day-
The Fachio Railroad.—It is announced that
frhja road is again opened for passengers and
™«;i« It has been blocked by snow for five
weeks. ^
Mossiecb Crapax.—A frog has been captured
in s cave near Columbia, Tennessee, weighing
ninety-three pounds. It is to be sent to the
Emperor of the French, as a present coming
from Tennessee to him, greeting. We presume
it will be exhibited at a “few” places first. Ad
mission, a quarter; children, grads.
The States sad the 14th Amendment-
The amendments to the bill enforcing the pro
visions of the fourteenth amendment, provide
for proceedings by quo warranto, with prece
dence over all cases on the dockettfof the United
States Courts. The penalty is not more than
one year's imprisonment or a fine of one thou
sand dollars and a perpetual disqualification
from Federal offices.
This is a bill which substantially abolishes the
State Governments for all practical purposes of
defence to the citizen. The first section of the
fourteenth amendment reads as follows
“All persons bom or naturalized in the Uni
ted States, and subject to the jurisdiction there
of, are citizens of the United States, and of the
Stole wherein they reside. JlTo State (hall make
or enforce any late which shall abridge the privi
lege* or immunitiet of citizens of the United
States, nor shall any State deprive any person
of life, liberty or property, without dne process
of law, nor deny to any person within its juris
diction the equal protection of the laws.”
Section 3d reads, “No person shall be a Sen
ator or Representative in Congress, or Elector
of President and Vice President, or hold any
office, civil or military, under the United States,
or under any State, who, having previously tak
en oath as a member of Congress, or as an
officer of tho United States, or as a member of
any State Legislature, or as an executive or ju
dicial officer of any State, to comfort the Con
stitution of the United States, shall have en
gaged in insurrection or rebellion against the
same, or given aid or support to the enemies
thereof. Bat Congress may, by a vote of two-
thirds of each House, remove such disability."
Section 4th enacts “ The validity of the pub-
lio debt of the United States, authorized bylaw,
including debts incurred for payment of pen
sions and bounties for aervioesdn suppressing
insurrection or rebellion, shall not be question
ed,
We will not undertake a construction of the
fourteenth amendment. It seems to have been
drawn so as to cover, if desired, almost the
whole range of questions at issue between the
States and Congress upon Ethiopian rights and
immunities—even this very question of negro
office-holding—what are the “privileges and im
munities" of citizens of the United States ?—
What would be considered an abridgement?—
The amendment assumes to declare who are cit
izens of the States, and who may not be mem
bers of a State Legislature or State officers.—
Does it not prohibit an abridgement of “privi
leges and immunities” which it inflicts upon one
class in respect to all others ? We think the
amendment is so drawn as to leave these ques
tions to judicial construction and interpreta
tion ?
Again : What means this amendment by de
claring that the validity of the national debt
shall not be questioned f" Does it prohibit
popular, or State Legislative, or judicial, or
Congressional question of the validity of the
pnblicdebt? or does it prohibit all questions?
Here, too, is a wide realm for the range of in
terpretation.
Now, the bin before Congress enforcing the
fourteenth amendment provides for the most
summary proceedings, in the .United States
Courts, against all citizens of the.Stetea who
violate the fourteenth amendment. It super
cedes the whole business of these Courts until
violations of this fourteenth amendment are
tried and punished by imprisonment or fine and
perpetual disqualification.
In view of the premises it seems to be a need-
lea business to ay that, under this act of Con
gress and the amendment together, the attitude
of the citizen in respect to the Federal Govern
ment is totally changed. Tho amendment seems
to be worded so a to create a class of mere
political offences, which shall, if need be, subject
a citizen to summary punishment for even wag
ging his tongue indiscreetly, and the State leg
islator for legislating in diarepect to or denial
of any of the standing dogmas of the Republi
can party so-called. The most extreme con
struction of the fourteenth amendment we have
alluded to ia the construction given to it by Sena
tor Sumner and his followers, and henoe he pro
posed to reinstate the negroes in the Georgia
Legislature by an act to enforce the provisions
of the fourteenth amendment. The amendment
we repeat, is couched in language so vogue and
general that it will mean whatever its friends
determine to make it mean.
The gigantic progress of the Federal Govern
ment in the destruction of the independence of
the States, and through it, of the liberties of
the people, must very speedily bring on a grand
crisis in America, in which the decisive battle
of republican liberty will be fought and the
question settled whether we are to have any
Constitutional securities at all,or the last vestige
of them is to be swept away and the Govern
ment ia to sink into an absolutism of whosoever
holds it in possession.
Tho Tennre-of-OIBce Suspension.
The press dispatches of yesterday said the
amendment to the bill repealing the Tenure-of-
offioe reads: “The same is hereby suspended
until the next meeting of Congress.”
Gen. Grant can hardly feel flattered by the
proposition not to repeal, bnt to suspend that
act “until the next meeting of Congress.” The
object of this suspension is too patent to be
The act positively prohibits the
President from rn»Vir>fr any removals of incum
bents whoso appointments have been confirmed
by the Senate, until a successor Khali, in like
have been appointed and qualified.
Consequently, while it ia jn operation, the Pres
ident cut make no new appointments during the
recess of Congress, except where vacancies have
occurred by death or resignation.
But Congress wants a new division of the
spoils. Every majority member has his private
slate of friends and relatives who are clamoring
to be appointed to office, and it is manifest that
little can be done in the way of removal and ap
pointment while this law is in force, since the
Senate will adjourn in a few days and the work
of reform has hardly been commenced.
To meet this exigency, therefore, they pro-
pose to suspend the act until Congress re-con-
! The proposition is purely in their own
interests, and does not at all contemplate the
restoration of the functions and dignity of the
Presidential office in the hands of Gen. Grant
is, in fact, a more offensive disposition of tho
subject than if Congress had deliberately voted
down a repealing act It loosens Grant’s official
tethers simply that he may run on party er
rands during the interim, and tells him “we al
low you ibis liberty for our benefit, while we
cannot be here to look after yon; bnt as soon
we come back we will tighten strings on yon
again.” Gen. Grant may accept liberty upon
these conditions, but he will hardly say “thank
ye.” It seems to ns a better course would be
to bring an act so clearly unconstitutional to the
arbitrament of the Supreme Court.
The Memphis Branch Railroad.—In the
Rome Courier, of yesterday, we find the pro
ceedings of a meeting of the incorporators of
thj« road—which, as the reader is aware, is de
signed to run from that city to some point on
the Memphis and Charleston Railway. They
resolved to accept the charter granted by the
Legislature—to organize the Company—and to
open books of subscription to the capital stock.
Ex-President Pierce writes to a friend in
Georgia: “Since you left the North (in Decem
ber) I have been prostrated by iIVnAKRj bnt my
physician thinks I may be quite ou my feet
again when the green grass puts forth the
birds oome back.”
From Southwestern Georgia.
A Dougherty county planter called to see
yesterday. He reports the condition of the
country in a most favorable light. The com
crop is planted and in many fields an inch
two high. The grounds are ah prepared to
ceive the cotton seed and in about fifteen days
the work of planting will commence. Never
were the lands in better state of preparation
this season of the year.
Thofreedmen have worked steadily nnd bet
ter than they have ever done since the days
slavery—fully realizing the fact that labor is the
condition of existence. But he remarked with
a shrug, “we have one-third less banda
last year.”
To the question what has become of them,
replied: “The railroads have employed several
thousand; others have gone to States from
whence they were brought before and daring
the war; and many have obtained little patches
and are farming on their own hook.” “The
old ones,” he continued, “are rapidly dying out.
The rate of mortality and increase are painfully
disproportionate to a planter who closely studies
the future of our country. No one has as yet
suggested the remedy, or at least a practical
le.
“The idea of substituting European white for
our black labor, is wholly utopian. Climatic
laws will defeat the scheme. These laborers
cannot be obtained from the Sonth of Europe,
and people in the Middle and Northern latitudes
of those countries will not work under a sun
warm enough to produce our great staple. Es
pecially will we find this true, when they learn
that there is a climate in our Middle and North
ern States closely assimilating to that in which
they were bom.”
The system of employing frsedmen by giving
them a portion of the crop, he says, is radically
wrong. In all such instances they receive their
money in bulk, and as long as it lasts, will do
no more work, or, with a few hundred dollars,
they make an effort to farm on their own ac
count. Having not enough money to carry the
scheme through the season, and no credit, they
subsist by depredating npon their neighbors.
Not one in a thousand who make the effort have
either the industry or the skill absolutely neces
sary to raise cotton upon his own responsibility.
It ia as necessary for them to have a directing
head as it is for a child.
He is fearful that many planters will be dis
appointed in the use of fertilizers. There
more or less cheat in a great many brands of
manures which have been extensively bought
and used. Nor do the planters properly under
stand how to manipulate and rightly apply them
to the soil. As they are now being educated
this respect, mistakes will be common and bitter
disappointment and discouragement may be
looked for.
But these fertilizers are a God-aend. They
will eventually go far towards supplying the la
bor which we are so rapidly losing by causes be
yond oar control. He thinks there are few
acres of land in the Cotton Belt of Georgia
which would not produce one bale if properly
manured. In thus contracting the area of arable
land, the number of laborers may be reduced in
proportion.
The Poor of Macon.
Albant, Ga., March 11, 1859.
To Bbv. David Wills, D. D., Macon, Ga.:
Dear Doctor : As an old "Macon boy,” proud
of her high character and deeply sympathizing
with her people when trouble cometh, I have
noticed with regret the urgent appeals for your
poor in tho daily papers.
Encloeed I send you a check for twenty-five
dollars, and if needs be, will be one of one hun
dred of your citizens to make five thousand dol
Iars for yonr paupers.
Yours, with highest respect,
R. K. Hines.
The above letter from a prominent lawyer and
cultivated Christian gentleman of Georgia, indi
cates the lively interest felt by persons at a dis
tance in the relief movement for the poor of our
city. The fee thousand dollar plan proposed is
admirable and perfectly feasible. The amount
might be invested in a permanent fund and the
proceeds applied according to the exigencies of
the case. That there is an urgent necessity for
some such arrangement, is apparent to alL—

Bad tor the Tax Paters.—The House of
Representatives of the Georgia Legislature has
refused to cut down the enormous clerical ex
penses of that body. The Columbus Sun thinks
the people will be apt to cut down the aspira
tions of many of the present members of the
House.
Questions to be propounded by the voters of
Georgia to the candidates for the next General
Assembly: 1. Will yon pledge yourselves to em
ploy no more than seven clerks and ministerial
officers to each House, which experience has
proven to be enough ? 2. Will you reduce the
per diem of members to four dollars a day, and
thus prevent the business of hanging on to a
session by the eyelids for the sake of a per
diem?
The Virginia Radical Schism.
The Richmond Dispatch says that a number
of gentlemen in Virginia, who compose the
‘talent and respectability” of the Republican
party in that State, have determined to present
a ticket of their own, as follows:
For Governor, Gen. Gilbert C. Walker, of
Norfolk; Lieutenant-Governor, John F. Lewis,
of Rockingham; Attorney General, James C.
Taylor, of Montgomery.
A very respectable and conservative ticket—
General Walker is a Northern man who has in
vested largely in the State, and has resided in
Norfolk since the war. He is an educated gen
tleman and lawyer; a man of fine talents, gen
erous disposition and courteous manners. John
F. Lewis is a Virginian, and a thorough and true
man. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the
late Mr. Botts, and stuck by him when friends
were few, with that loyalty peculiar to his na
ture, which made, even in error, his fidelity a
virtue. James' C. Taylor is a Virginian, and a
lawyer of great ability. He is a man of force
and influence.
We state these facts of this ticket as a matter
of news. Its formation is a consequence of the
excesses of the ultras who met at Petersburg.
It is based on an inner line of consevatism com
pared with the outer and extremely destructive
point to which the Wells wing has advance. In
this view it may be considered as a piece of good
fortune that these men went so far; for their
conduct has brought about the movement from
the intelligent Republicans who are disposed to
do something to save the State from utter ruin
—ruin to white and black—which would inevit
ably follow the placing of the Wells ticket in
power.
If Stewart had only been a carpet-bagger, in
stead of a merchant with visible means of sup
port, the law of 1789 could not have balked him.
He could have qualified himself by throwing his
satchel of old clothes ont of the window, or un
der the Secretary’s bureau.
Or if he had been a manufacturer with mil
lions invested^ in pushing up “protection to
American Industry,” he could have qualified.
Labor seems to be uncommonly scarce in the
farm districts. A friend from the neighbor
hood of Colaparchee informed us a few days ago
that it is utterly impossible to procure bonds in
that section.
DIED.
In the Lunatic Asylum, at Midway, Ga., on the21st
day of February last, JASPER PRITCHARD, son of
P. E. Prithcird, formerly of Putnam county, Ga. He
was, at the time ofhis death, aged 26 years and 4
months. Born in Putnam county, he grew to man
hood in that county, when he was attacked by con
vulsions, which finally terminated his life. He was a
young man of steady habits and bore a fine character
for integrity and good purreses—wa* much liked by
all who knew him. By this dispensation of Provi
dence, another promising young man was lost to his
country.
