11 - Kee the Danger.
Some of the Radical papers have just suc
ceeded in discovering the great danger to liber
ty in a “Supreme Senate.” It is indeed
heavy burden for the burr-tailed tackey of Con
stitutional freedom; but they have been able
to see this only einco they have discovered that
the Senate is an “obttaeU’ to a re-partition of
the spoils. That discovery has sharpened their
mental optics wonderfully. Any thing that
threatens their interests invests a Constitutional
dogma with great clearness and importance.
Now they see this problem: Given a President
managed by a Supreme Senate—controlled in
its turn by a supreme party'caucus, worked by
a New England triumvirate of Radical Sena
tors—who is President? what is the Senate ?—
and what is the Government ? The President
is a puppet—the Senate the wire that sets him
in motion—the caucus is the crank, and the
three wise men from the East are the perform
ers who turn it. It is a very nice and inge
nious arrangement—but what would you call it?
to Negro Eligibility to Office.
We have copied on our first page the decision
of Judge Schley in the R. W. White case, deny
ing the eligibility of negroes to office in the State
of Georgia. Counsel for White took exceptions,
and intimated a purpose to carry the case at once
to the Supreme Court.
Testimony was then introduced as to the fact
that White was a man of color. The testimony
was all ex parte. Counsel waived argument on
both sides, and the jury agreed on a verdict
“that the said R. W. White had one-eighth ne
gro blood in his veins, and was a person of color
under the laws of Georgia.”
SontU and Went.
A private letter from a New York merchant
saya “trade from the South is active—the Weat
is nowhere.” What is the matter with the Weat?
Is she doing her own manufacturing—her own
importing—and her own smuggling? A great
deal of all, no doubt. But it seems to us with
the present prices of grain, Hour, bacon, and
mules, horses and, in fact, all she has to sell,
the West should be full banded and ready for
trade if ao disposed!
The Land we Lore a ml the New Eclec
tic.
We have the Afnil number and the first one
of these consolidated Magazines. It has a cap
ital table of contents—is adorned with a portrait
of Count Bismarck, and is altogether, perhaps,
the most attractive of the American Monthlies.
Its publishers are Turnbull A Murdoch, to whom
all correspondence relative to the Magazine must
be addressed, and to whose order all drafts must
be made payable. Gen. Hill's address is Char
lotte, N. 0.
The Iliiyfinn Shambles.
Admiral Hoff, of the West India squadron, in
dorses in Ms reports to the Navy Department,
some shocking regprts of butchery now going
on in the delectable isle of San Domingo wMch
newspapers had no sooner published, than a tel
egram to sent North to say that “the aoconnto
of cruelties in Hayti are much exaggerated."
Nothing to to be credited except “rebel outrages
in the South.”
Annexation or Pasaocat. ——The Buenos
Ayres papers publish a rumor that President
Dopes desires to cede Paraguay to the United
States. This to, like St. Domingo, another
bankrupted concern, which would like to get
its debts paid off by ua. We have not the
slightest use for South American territory, and
especially small kingdoms and republics loaded
with debt, and, asin this case, with a big war
on hand. We are obliged to pay out a good
deal of money for nothing mere than sending
broken-down politicians as ministers to these
one-horse little States. Butler’s motion to
abolish them ought to pass.
Mb. Hxxst 0. Caret sends us a pamphlet
copy of his review of Commission^!. Wells' re
port on the revenue. Mr. Wells' report was a
stab in the vitals of “protection,” under cover
of an exposure of the defects of the existing ta
riff, and tbs protectionists have kept up a terri
ble buzzing over that document. Air. Carey to
the champion protectionist in America. We
suppose he to honest in the matter. We are in
clined to think he has firmly persuaded himself
that the way to rmtoe revenue to to levy a pro
hibitory duty, and the way to make cheap goods
is to put down competition in manufacturing
them.
Dzath or Edwabd Batts.—Hon. Edward
Bates died at St. Louis last Friday. He be
longed to not a small number of men who have
more real worth than tame. Mr. Bfites was
well known in the Mississippi Valley in the days
of the old Whig party, of which he was an so-
knowledged leader. But always residing in a
Democratic district and State, he never attained
a public offloe until after the advent of. Lincoln
and the radicals. He was Lincoln’s Attorney-
General.
Mrs. Edward B. Whits, a very accomplished
Southern lady, has established a boarding and
day school for young ladies at No. 2 West Forty-
Third street, New York, where Southern pupils
can profit by the superior instructional facilities
attainable in the great metropolis, 'and at the
same time be under safe and satisfactory re
straints and influences. We call attention to
Airs. White's advertisement •
IstTRCBENT.—The papers announce the arrival
in Chicago of twenty wives of Brigham Young.
How Young consented to risk twenty-five per
cent of his domesticity in such a place as Chi
cago, is inexplicable. Probably he quieted his
fears with the reflection that if they failed him,
he had “a few more left of the same sort”
List or Georgia Acts.—The Intelligencer
publishes s list of sets and resolutions passed at
the last session. It is dry reading, but we will
make room for it in a day or two.
Diamonds nt Georgia.—The Commissioner of
the General Land Office has received reliable
information relative to diamond discoveries in
Georgia. In a pit four by six feet, in washing
for gold, three diamonds were found, one of
which weighed one, and the other two karats.
“Xcix ajtd Void.”—Some of the papers say
the act to reconstruct Georgia on the Ethiopean
pattern declares all the legislation of the late
General Assembly null and void. If that bo so,
some capital will have been wasted.
“Moszs in Egttt.”—Andy Johnson in East
Tennessee. We are glad to see he is better.
The papers report that he was attacked with pa
ralysis.
YVealtut Cubans are sending their money to
«bi« country for safe-keeping.
Fifty-six English towns have sent petitions
to Parliament for female suffrage.
North Carolina makes more money from her
peanut crop than from her cotton.
Infanticide In France,
The Chicago Times translates from recent
French papers some horrible de.tails of inf&nti
cide in France, and adds some comments,
part of which we republish below. Such is the
progress of this crime in some sections of Amer
ica as notoriously to threaten a revolution
races. Our readers will remember that of late,
the New England papers and periodicals have
been sounding the alarm and admit that, in
few years, at the present comparative ratio
increase, New England will soon be in the hands of
the Celts, whose offspring are more than twice
as numerous as that of the Anglo-Saxons. That
the public morals on this subject are very
little better in'the West, may be inferred from
the concluding paragraph in ibis extract from
the Times.
All ibis is due mainly to extravagance in liv
ing. People cannot keep up style and meet the
expense of rearing a numerous family. It
the poor alone, who care nothing for style, and
intend that their children shall not only earn
their bread, but assist their parents in the com
mon struggle against want, who rear large fam
ilies. Thus the population of the country to
chiefly maintained by those least able to give
their children the benefits of intellectual and
moral training.
In this state of facts, the natural and divinely
sanctioned ' pride' in a numerous family has
given place to a false, discreditable, immoral
and unseriptural shame of children. It to come
to be considered very unfashionable certainly,
if not absolutely disgraceful, to claim paternity
of little groups, which our fathers and mothers
would have considered very small families
There to much in connection with this subject
which demands the attention of the religionist,
the moralist and the philosopher; but as we lay
claim to neither capacity, we will content our
selves with copying the Times’ editorial which
has suggested the few words we have dropped
At the Court of assize held in Garonne, and
whose session began on the third of the present
mnnth. eight women were arraigned for trial.
Every onrot iAk—. —- a, za a.
perhaps admissible to suppose that all of them
have passed a certain age, and reached up to,
or beyond, the climacteric of womanhood. At
or about this period, some women, unless sub
jected to a strong guidance, or repressed by the
education of eariy life, are very apt to fly off
some tangent A woman of such a class may
become possessed with a desire to nnaez herself.
She may wish to become an Amazon, amember
of a women’s rights organization, a lecturers on
fancied wrongs, an abortionist, or something
else outre, unnatural and unwomanly.
These eight French women did notorganize
Sorosis society, or start a journal favoring the
exing of women, or inaugurate lecturing ex
peditions. They did the next most available and
[gennain thing: They took charge of young
babes whose mothers had something else to at
tend to than their children. They took such
children along with a present of from #50 to
#500 and agreed to care for them. They stool
initiated an ante-natal slaughter-house on
large scale, and in wMch they did a most thriv^l
ing business.
As a specimen of how women's rights are
progressing among the Gauls, we translate and
summarize some portions of the long act of ae-
I In August, one of the accused took charge of
Uhe illegitimate infant of a young girl, ostensibly
to place it in a hospital for children at Cadillac. I
She took the child home, held its head into al
vessel of water until dead, threw the body into
a csss pond, and pocketed the amount which had
been given her to pay for the child’s support.
Another tody of this organization took charge of
the child of her daughter, and cared for it by
giving it a dose of vitrioL The motherof the
child was one of the accused, and was present
at, and assisted tho operation of poisoning her
offspring. Another of the enterprising eight]
took possession of the child of Jeanne Gamel,
and 240 francs, which were to be devoted to its
support. The infant was speedily made to un
dergo asphyxia, and was buried in a hole in i
remote room of her residence. The same cn
terprising lady took charge of another child and
500 franca, the former of which was speedily
disposed of by the use of a bucket of rater.
The indictment occupies several columns of
finely printed type. It recites the murder ofl
something like fifty infants within the last year. I
It deals in details ntterly unfit, in many coases,
for translation. Infants were drowned in
buckets of water, were poisoned, their bodies
were thrown into the sinks of out-honses, or
were ent to pieces and buried in cellars and
other out-of-the-way places. Fragments of bo-1
dies partially consumed by rats, and bones
without number, were fonnd'in the residences of
[the accused. In fine, the indictment is a recital I
of wholesale assassination whose relations are]
without parallel in horror and atrocity. As the!
result of the trial has not been given, we cannot
have the pleasure of announcing, at present,
that all of the eight have been sentenced to bo
executed. The gratification of making and re
ceiving tho announcement must bo reserved to
la later date.
All this seems very terrible: bat it is no worse
[than a thousand occurrences which are taking
placo every day in this country. Tho difference
is simply one of publicity. There, the crimes
were committed by professional assassins, and
were discovered. Here, the same sort of thing
is occurring, only the mothers are the assassins,
and the thing is not made public save in isola
ted eases. The difference to not, therefore, one
of culpability; it is simply that of detection.
Forney'* Southern proclivities.
I lit to not generally known, perhaps, thatthUl
I vile scoundrel has opened in Washington city a
Southern Land and Immigration Agency, in
connection with the Chromele office. This is
so, however, and the Southern man who will
have anything to do with this dirty dog onght to
be tarred and feathered!”
The foregoing to copied from the Athens I
Southern Watchman, and, in response to it, wo
announce ourselves agents, for this State, of tho
Chronicle Land Agency, located in YVaskington
and Philadelphia. YVo believe Col Forney, when
he writes ns: “ My whole object is to see the
South, not only restored to her past prosperity,
but to see it embark upon a career of renown,
that will place it in successful competition with
tho North, and to this end, I propose to devote
all the energies I possess.”
■ But it to due to truth that we should also say, I
that if we had no faith at all in Mr. Forney's
motives, we should still bo ready to sell Georgia
lands to any. man who wants to buy and settle
upon them. Wo shall make no inquiry what
ever into his “political proclivities ” or ante
cedents, satisfied that in the act of purchase
and settlement he has given fair and
security for good behavior, and identified his
personal interest with the common fortune.
Is it possible too strongly to condemn such
folly as is displayed in the foregoing paragraph
from the Watchman ? Every man in Georgia is
crying out for immigration. We write, specu
late and legislate upon this topic more than any
other. We have forty thousand miles of waste
and unoccupied land which we wish to sell and
to cultivate with a productive population: but
the Watchman, et id omne genus, don't want
them sold by any body who is not *‘sound on
the goose” of reconstruction! Does he inquire
particularly into the moral character of those
who offer to subscribe for the Watchman?
would he send Forney that paper if the latter
should enclose the regular fee ? Would he be
so “dirty a dog” as to have so much to do with
Forney ? Does he ever touch Northern money,
or Northern food, or Northern clothing? Should
he not be carefully * fenced in,” and a great
Chinese wall built around him, so that his sacred
and sensitive nerves should not be jarred by
any of the profanum vulgus from beyond the
Potomac? It is just such ridiculous stupidity
as that puts cudgels in the hands of our
Northern enemies, and co-operates with the
worst foes of the South in embarrassing the fu
ture of this section.
The policy of the South is,too clear for a mo
ment’s hesitation. Throw wide open the doors
to the immigrant and settler from every part of
the globe : welcome all who will stake their
lives and money in the common lot. Bely upon
community of interest to produce a reasonable
harmony of opinion and feeling. Put the land
in market Fill the State as soon as possible __
with an industrious white population, and sell
lands as yon would sell anything else. That is
our policy. Butts A Brother,
Georgia Land Agency, Maoon.

troit, having been stationed here for five years.
The Press of the city aU express regret at their de
parture, and good wishes for their future welfare.
General Buchanan will not relinquish command
for a few days.
Several important decisions were rendered by
Judge Durrell in the United States Court this morn
ing. Three more of the wine cases were decided in
favor of tbs Government The dorison is believed
to cover all the points which can be raised. Tho
points have been submitted that every revenue law
referring to the seizure of wine has been repealed
by namo.
The Judge reviewed each statue quoted, and
ruled that their repeal did not affect the specifica
tions of cost, packing and bottling therefrom, as
cost bottling and casing, bad either not been in
cluded in tbe invoice, or greatly undented. Ac
cording to the evidence in the csss the wines were
forfeited.
In the case of J. T. Tucker, agent of the Illinois
Central Railroad, petitioning to have the New Or
leans and Oupelousaa Railroad declared bankrupt,
the Judge, in a lengthy and elaborate derision, held
that the railroad bonds and coupons were not com
mercial paper within tbe meaning of the bankrupt
law, and that, under tho State law and act of incor
poration, a remedy was provided to wMch creditors
might resort; that paying coupons after suit was
brought upon the same was not preferring one cred
itor over another, and, therefore, was not an act of
bankruptcy: and that the company was not insolvent
inasmuch as tbe assets, by appraisement, exceeded
tbe lisMlitics due or to become due by more than
8500,000. The court expressed some doubt as to
whether railroad companies come under the provi
sions of the bankruptcy laws.
Khw Orleans, March 29.—Sealed proposals were
to-day opened by tbe State Treasurer for 90,000
dollars. Levee eight per cent, bonds were pledged
to the banks of this city ms collateral for loans for

Kennedy, the great levee contractor, at 81% and ac
cepted.

of Troy is mandated.
Hataxa, March 29.—The United States consular
agent at Gebara was brought here ironed.
Georgia In the senate.
The action of the Senate upon Georgia last
Thursday shows that it has no such appetite
for Reconstruction as to be absolutely beyond
restraint or control:
Mr. Edmunds moved to take np the bill to
enforce the 14th amendment and laws of the
United States in Georgia.
Mr. Sherman objected because he wanted the
Senate to take np the bill supplementary to
provide for a national currency. j .
Mr. Edmunds said he had moved to take up
the bill relating to Georgia because he wished
the Senate to decide definitely whether any
thing was to be done at this sesssion to settle
the status of that State. He thought Congress
was either treating Georgia very badly by ex
cluding her from re presentation,, or else was tol
erating there a revolutionary condition of affairs
which ought to be brought to an end.
Mr. Sumner thonght it more important that
prompt action be taken on the Georgia than on
the financial bill, because its passage was nec
essary for the preservation of peace in that
State, and also as an example of reconstruc
tion.
Mr. Sherman's motion was carried—40 to 15.

Marshal Diceson.—As it may be inferred
from our remarks yesterday, says the Savannah
Republican of the 25th insk, that the Govern
ment was a heavy loser by the departure of this
officer to parts unknown, it would be well to cor
rect that impression. His books show that the
Government is in his debt to a considerable
amount, and we learn that investigations thus
far have only been able to trace some fiv^or six
thousand dollars into his possession that belong
ed to other people, an amount which he could
have readily arranged for. The real cause
his disappearance, therefore, is still a mystery.
We have heard several suggestions, bat nothing
that appears to be based on ascertained facts.
The Fifteenth Amendment.—The National
Intelligencer of Thursday says:
“The action of Indiana ami tho
Georgia to ratify, for which we have to thank
a or. Bollock and his Republican friends in tbe
Legislature settle the fate of the 15th amend
ment. Ita defeat now is next to oertain. We
count against it Oregon, California, Kentucky,
Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, New Jersey. Georgia
and Indiana. Ten are sufficient to defeat
and Connecticut alono would end it We ob
serve that both Pennsylvania and New York fail
to ratify, and it would seem that the Republican
members of the Legislatures of these States can
not be got np to the mark. This issue will enter
into all the autumnal elections, and the issue
will be disastrous to the Republicans beyond all
doubt”

Vienna, Dooly County, Ga.,)
March 29, 1869. >
Dear Telegraph : Tho negro Needham Brown,
who was committed to Dooly county jail on the
24th instant, for murdering one white child and
committing a rape on another, was taken ont of
jail about two o’clock in the morning of the 25th,
by a mob, and carried about half a mile west of
Vienna, and hong to the limb of an oak tree by
the side of the Drayton road. The keys of the
jail were forcibly and violently taken from the
jailor by men who were painted and disguised
so that the jailor did not know any of them.
There were from twenty to thirty men in the
crowd. An inquest was held next day on the
body and the verdict of the jury was in accord

Messrs. Editors: Without a word against the
honesty” or “consistency,” (without con
ceding a monopoly of either,) of the excellent
gentlemen whose names are presented in yonr
columns for County Commissioners, it may
yet be asked, “Are they really and earnestly in
favor of draining the swamp—not the reserve
merely—below the city, thoroughly and at
once?”
It is known that at least one of the gentle
men has scruples on the subject, and holds the
opinion that it is wrong to tax parties living in
the tipper part of the city, and comparatively
beyond the reach of malarial influence, for the
benefit of those who are not so favorably loca
ted, and, as almost all the Macon names pre
sented are so situated,-it becomes important to
know whether they aQ hold to the same opin
ion, or whether they be thoroughly impressed
with the urgent necessity that exists for the
speedy accomplishment of that work; for many
think this a question on which the citizens of
Macon cannot now afford to vote in the dark.
