SUNDAY MORNING. MARCH 21, 1869.
Can’t be Worsted by tbe Change.
The Baltimore Gazette and some other prints
are oracular upon the subject of a contemplated
military coup d'etat by Gen. Grant, -which has
been slightly muddled, disarranged, delayed,
and, perhaps, defeated by the result of the pre
liminary skirmish -with Congress. No worse
government can be conceived than the domina
tion of a “supreme Congress,” or any other
legislative body, since it is a government with
out judgment, discretion, conscience, or respon
sibility. Any change is bound to be an im
provement. The Baltimore Sun, discoursing
upon the subject, says:
The real danger now, as it has been in the
preceding administration, is the absorption of
all power by Congress, which is becoming every
day more and more the government, and in
whose hands the Executive, even if a statesman,
is likely to bo reduced to the functions of a
mere agent of the will of the majority, and
much more so if he is only a soldier, and com
pelled by reason of his previous training to look
to mere politicians for counsel and direction.
That we think is the state of the case, and it
is a much worse one for the people than any
executive coup d'etat could probably make it.
If there is one fact in current politics more pa
tent and obtrusive than any other it, is the ter
rible corruption of all legislative bodies in the
country; and Congress enjoys a bad eminence
over them all in this particular. Nobody doubts
that the whole mass aro as venal and corrupt as
they well can be, and how then, is it possible
to conceive of a worse government than one
wielded by such bodies without any Constitu-
tional restraints or limitations?
Put the worst man in supreme power, and
still there are some bounds to his rapacity.—
Some considerations of personal responsibility—
some leading ideas of policy, prudence,
and justice will restrain him. If it is his inter
est to plunder, it is also his interest to monopo
lize the business as nearly as possible. If be is
tyrannical, he wants no other tyrants. It ia.in
his interest generally to maintain order—to sup
port and protect industry and the right of pro
perty, just as it is the interest of the farmer to
protect his flocks and to maintain his ground in
’ a productive condition.
But when a crowd of tyrants are let loose upon
a country, they are like a band of guerrillas and
freebooters—or like wreckers when the ship is
going to pieces. Each stimulates the rapacity
and audacity of the others. It is a question of
who can get the moat in the shortest time, and
every act of lawless audacity becomes a prece
dent and an incentive to something worse. What
no one would dare to do alone, no one has any
scruple to attempt with the support and counts-
of etch other.
We repeat, therefore, that it will be a god
send to the people, if Grant or anybody else
should put an end to “Congressional supremacy,
even should it be by the snbstitntion of Presi-
dential supremacy. *
Dr. Hammond’* Lecture.
Our First Page contains Dr. Hammond's
much-talked-of Lecture upon Coffee—the his
tory of its introduction and use, as a beverage—
its botannical character—bow to make it, and
Us effects as food upon the human system. This
Lecture was delivered on the 1st instant, in the
city of Maoon, for the benefit of the poor of the
city, and is pnblished at the request of auditors
who wero anxious to see it in print. It is an
exhaustive view of the subject.
Tbe Next Legislature.
We are informed from Atlanta, that it is con
fidently expected tho next Legislature will con
vene there in the course of thirty days. Well,
we must confess the white Legislature disap
pointed just expectations, and now let ns see
what the negroes will do.
Thx LaGeanoe RxroKmisays the Txzxoxim
is the best specimen of newspsper printing in
the State. Does he expect os to answer—no it
is not—the Reporter stands No, 1 ? Well,
might do as much for him, with a clean con
science. The Reporter and the Constitution are
in doubt which of their issues is entitled to rank
as the best paper in the State. Both, undoubted
ly. There are at least a dozen of the Georgia pa
pers that have the largest circulation in the
State. _____
Fourth Page.—On our fourth page will be
found an intelligent article upon the best method
of hiring field labor. Another article from the
Columbus Sun upon the importance of diversi
fying labor, and other interesting matter.
Thx Cuinaven’.—Hoyt and Gardner's circular
of the 17th, speculating in general upon the po
litical and financial condition, says that ootton
production by whites must settle down as the
incidental crop of small forms. The field ne
gro will eventually retire as a field laborer and
the South must look to the introduction of the
Mongolian race to revive tho crop.
Lthch Law is Mcrrat Couxtt.—The Dalton
Citizen says that a negro man, named July Mar
tin, was taken ontof the jail of Murray county,
in Spring Place, Friday night, 12th instant, by
a mob variously estimated at sixty to four hun
dred, and hnng. He had been committed for
rape upon the person of a young lady, his form
er mistress, an invalid confined to her bed.
An Important Rumor.—An impression pre
vails, says the Washington Express, that with
the confirmation of the report of the establis-
* ment of a Provisional Government by the Caban
insurgents, President Grant will recommend its
immediate recognition, and certatnly the recog
nition of their belligerent rights. His frank and
surprisingly bold declarations on this subject
leave no doubt as to his opinions and wishes,
and corresponding action may be confidently
anticipated.
Ku-Kxux Proclamation.—Judge Russell, of
the Superior Court of North Carolina, has issued
a proclamation commanding six members of the
Ku-Klux Klan to surrender themselves to the
Sheriff of Robeson dounty, or any other lawful
officer of the State, and authorizing any citizen
of the State to capture and bring to justice these
- outlaws; and in case of a fiight or resistance,
after being called onto surrender, to slay them,
without accusation or impeachment of any
crime.

Correrpondcnce of the Macon Daily Telegraph.} %
Atlanta, March 19, 1869.
FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
If I did not lean to the opinions of others
rather than my own I would not attach so much
importance to this matter as to place it at the
head of my correspondence to-day, for the rea
son that I do not see why people should bother
their heads about it. If it were adopted by the
State unanimously it could not possibly do any
good for the country, and as negro office hold
ing was the main feature of objection in con
nection with it, I dhly say that for the honor
of the State I believe it is a goodihing that it
was defeated even though Radicals aided in do
ing the work from anything bnt honest motives.
If it had been ratified, negroes would have the
right, and now that it has not they will get ii
so that the only difference is that the Democra
cy who honestly opposed it know that they did
not aid in bringing it about. This is at least a
credit to them and to the State.
Now. with regard to the office-holding,
have asserted that the amendment does not in
volve that matter, while in the opinion of oth
ers it does, and forms its leading object But
will anybody assert, that if it did not mean of
fice-holding, and office-holding in the Sooth
only, it would be anything short of a sheer hum
bug to interweave it with the Constitution of the
United States? Again: Will any person ven
ture to risk his reputation by declaring that tbe
present Congress will even dare to force the
question upon the Northern States? Some
Democrats have consoled themselves with the
notion, that that amendment did not ask any
more from the Southern than the Northern
States. Bnt this, as will be seen before long,
is nothing bnt staff; otherwise; we would have
by this time such a howl ringing through the
mbn sad Western States ss would make
even the great Captain himself feel rather un
pleasantly m his Presidential chair.
The scene which was presented in the Georgia
House of Representatives during the discussion
of the article, or amendment, or whatever you
like to call it, was one which baffles description,
and of which I am going to endeavor to give yon
bnt a faint outline. On the first day, when the
vote was taken upon its posssge, it was a life
and death straggle between tbe Democrats, who,
both for and against, labored with might, and I
might add, with desperation. In this contest
they were left to fight it ont by the Radicals,
who left their seats and watched them with the
utmost satisfaction. The “Rads” were, in truth,
laughing in their sleeves at the “fix” in which
they had their enemies, and many a time could
their eyes be seen to glisten as they asked tho
very significant question, “ Who are the white
niggers now ?’’ They said, and with much force
I most acknowledge, “Yon have been calling ns
niggers and mean traitors to our nee. Yon have
advised onr wives and children to leave ns be-
canso ue advocated negro suffrage, thereby de-
P onr race. And now yon Democrats are
to swallow tho nigger whole.” Tho Dem
in reply, met their arguments by assert
ing that they (the Radicals) had.originated the
thing, and that they were now going to make it
rebound to their disadvantage by taking the ne
groes away from them altogether. Harper, of
Terrell, Shumate and Price were the leading
Democrats in favor of tho amendment; while
Scott, of Floyd, Phillips and Crawford, met
them in scathing and denunciatory speeches;
and if it had not been for the astonishing man
ner in whioh the Speaker (McWhorter) delayed
tho announcement of the vote while several I
of the members went through the House getting
them to change their votes, tbe amendment wasl
defeated by a majority of five or six. In vain
did Scott and others call upon him to announce
the result. The only reply which they received
was a rap of the hammer on the Speaker's desk.
The most disgusting excitement swayed tho
crowd, for crowd (or, as some of tho members
called it, “mob”) it really was, for tho space of
QOIXO HOME.
The lobbyists are now disappearing rapidly,
and some of them will reach their homes long
before the bleak and desolate features of winter
have vanished from them; for there were some
of that species of plague here who had come
all the way from New Hampshire and other tutor
States. The members of the Legislature, too,
are rushing home, and one finds it almost im
possible to get room in any of the trains leaving
this city. La such cases, I suppose the best and
surest way is to be nisi, and then there is no
such thing as fail. So has it ever been found by

From Arkansas.
A terrible shooting affray occurred on board
the Belle Memphis, at Island Ho. 10, Thursday
afternoon, resulting in the death of three broth
ers named Lane, at the hands of two brothers
Donnell. The parties all resided at Madrid
Bend, and an old fend had existed between them
for years.
Later advices from Helena state that other
negroes concerned in the conspiracy resulting
in the assassination of Gen. TTindman have
been arrested, including Charles Porter, who
fired the shot.
The Appeal’s Utile Bock special of Friday
evening says that, after a stormy discussion in
the House, the resolution deposing Speaker
Price passed by 29 to 23, and Mr. French was
elected Speaker pro tom. Mr. Price, in his pa
per this morning, .says that the resolution is a
stab at Gov. Clayton.
From Washington.
Ex-President Johnson, Mrs. Johnson, Judge
Patterson and family, and Robert Johnson, left
Washington for Greenville, Tennessee, on the

citizens of Lynchburg to partake of the-hospi
talities of their city, and remained in that city
daring Friday.

thirty minutes, which elapsed between the
calling of the roll and the announcement of its
result. And when, at last, the vote wss read
and the amendment declared adopted, the house
rang with the applause of those friends of the
measure who had so earnestly supported it
On the second discussion. Tweedy, of Rich
oml, stung some of the Democrats by a few
pithy remarks, for which he got great credit by
tho oponents of tho amendment, bnt drew
down upon himself and hia party a torrent of
invective from the other side, amid which
Speaker McWhorter left the Chair, calling
thereto Mr. Haiper, of Terrell Many and va
rious are the reasons assigned for this action on
the part of the Speaker. Some accuse bin, of
one thing and some of another; bnt it is very
certain that none bnt the friends of the passage
of the amendment give him any degree of cred
it for it, and I have heard many Radicals say
that he is being Speaker for the last time. He
has spoken to me, bnt os be spoke in confi
dence, I shall not say what his object was ; but
will simply assert that there is no excuse which
he or his friends can offer that can do away with
tho fact, that he did not, when he saw how
matters stood, resume his position and do his
duty as the Speaker of the House, fairly and im
partially. As I stated in my report of tho day’s
proceedings, Harper teal impolitic, although one
would suppose that while he differed with hia
brother Democrats in regard to this matter of
policy, he would at least pay that respect to their
feelings which he who had labored and expected
to labor with them again^ooght to entertain.
’ Mr. McWhorter was present and stated the
fact that the amendment which had just been
declared adopted, had not been acted on ; bat
then was the time for him when he saw the hot
precipitency which had been displayed by his
successor, in declaring the amendment adopted
before it had been put to the House and even
before the vote had been verified,then,I say was
the time for the Speaker elect to show “which
way the wind blew” and to maintain the character
of his position.
In the Senate there was more order, but no
less bitterness of purpose, and the war waged
with a deadly hand to hand encounter. The'vote
was a dose one between the gennine Democrats
on one side and the Conservative Democrats and
Conservative Republicans on the other aide.
The latter favoring and the former opposing the
amendment. But the Radicals in order to set
tle the question came to the aid of the men
straggling “for honor,” though not from any
honorable motives and killed the amendment by
a majority of three.
W --- the NEW CAPITOL.
I shall now prooeed to give yon a brief review
of the Capitol question, which came near being
a mighty capital question. The strife in regard
to the purchase of the new opera building was
as severe as even that over the fifteenth amend
ment. Those in favor of the purchase were in
the majority, and those opposed strove manful
ly against it; bnt seeing that there was no hope
for them to defeat it, they had recourse to a
species of "filibustering known, I believe, to par
liamentary law. When the vote was being
taken, they left their seats and went to the door,
where they stood until the vote was called and
it was found that there was no quorum present.
By this mode of tactics they succeeded in tiring
out the patience of the advocates of the meas
ure, and at length, when close upon the time of ad
journment, sine die, in postponing it indefinitely.
The proceedings during this discussion were as
disgraceful as anything could well be, and all
appeals made by the Speaker mid other mem
bers for order, were unavailing. ■’ • - -
"■Si ITU: ADJOURNMENT.
For two or three days previous to adjourn
ment the excitement was extreme and the con
fusion almost impenetrable, while the business
grew less and less interesting. On Thursday
night, however, they “met to part,” to which
happy idea many a lip responded “Amen”
throughout the State. The House did a little
business; but in the Senate, there being noth
ing to do, all was merriment and wit, and I felt
somewhat struck when Mr. McWhorter “moved
♦hat the memory of the Fifteenth Amendment
be drank in solemn silence," which motion was
amended by the President (Mr. Nuimally), who
“ moved that the gentleman furnish the where
withal to do the same.” Much that was rich
and racy was indulged in, until about 9J P. M.,
when both Houses separated after hearing brief
addresses from their respective presiding offi
cers.' When will they meet again ? Echo an
swers “ when,” and that echo is Congress.
A T(Tt gKWrWT.rVO- •
No sooner had the Legislature adjourned,
than a report was pnt into circulation that Bul
lock would call it together again jn thirty days
under authority of Congress, and the Radicals
assert that it will come together next time with
the negroes in it. They ore quite exultant over
the defeat of the fifteenth amendment, and in
this they are joined most heartily by the Demo
crats who were opposed to it, though I have no
doubt they agree for the first time from differ
ent motive*.
