Orn. Grant'* Administration.
The N. T. Herald of the let instant consoles
the public disappointment in the promise of the
Grant administration by a comparison of his
civic and military breakdown at the outset of
both careers. After reviewing at some length
Another Alabama Jeffries.
Our beloved sister in affliction, the State
of Alabama, by some inscrutable Providence,
■earns to be abandoned of Divine mercy in re
spect to her judiciary. She seems to have, so
far as at least two of her important judicial
officers are concerned, incumbents who have
little ether idea of their professional preroga
tives than to use them for purposes of the great
est tyranny and outrage, venting their despotic
tempers and bitter spleen upon whoever cornea
before them, with a malice and fury which rival
that of the judicial beast and monstrosity
Jeffries, as set forth by the glowing pen of
Macauley ?
Some weeks ago we alluded to the perform
ances of Jndge J. Q. Smith, of the Montgomery
Circuit, who fined and imprisoned the editor of
the Montgomery Mail for declining to do jury
service when exempted by statute. Mobile is
now excited over the pranks of Jndge Moulton,
of the city court, who sent a poor copper-smith,
named Schultz, to jail five days, because in the
pursuit of his avocation in his work-shop oppo
site the Court-house, he had inadvertently dis
turbed the Judge by the noise of hammering.
The Register says:
Mr. Schultz, who had no counsel or friend to
speak for him, only obtained leave to wait till
dark, and in the meantime sought legal advice,
and when the court re-assembled in the evening,
and after Thomas A. Hamilton, Esq., had con
cluded an able argument, Major St Paul rose
and courteously begged the court to allow him
to offer a few remarks on behalf of Mr. Schultz,
but before be had concluded the very first sen
tence, the Jndge brutally toned on him and or-
dcred him to take his seat, as be would hear no
remarks on his action towards Schultz, and that
if he, Major St Paul, offered any apology, be.
Major Bt Paul, would be sent to a jail at ones.
The foregoing is from the Register. An eye
witness furnishes the Tribune with the follow
ing account of whet occurred between Major St
Paul and the Jndge:
Major St Paul attempted to address the
court:
“May it please the court, I wish to address the
court, not, however, in regard to the case now
before the Court I appear for a citizen who
was arrested for contempt. ’*
Honlton (Judge).—“The Court will not hear
anything from yon, Major St Paul in regard to
the contempt.”
St Paul—But yonr Honor, I appear for—”
Moulton, Judge—If the person wishes to
purge himself of contempt, the court will listen
to him, but nothing from you.
Maj. St Paul—But your Honor—
Moulton, Judge—Fine this man $60.
Maj. St Pan!—This is a—
Moulton, Judge—Fine him fifty dollars more.
Maj. 8t Paul—This is a high handed outrage
upon the rights of—
Moulton, Judge—Mr. Sheriff, take this man
to jail.
Major St Panl—Tbe Court can arrest me
through the Sheriff but I wish yon to understand
that you cannot do it
A* this excitement was at its height Major St
Paul withdraw from the courtroom undercharge
of the Sheriff, and is now in the castody of that
officer.
“The affair has created quite an excitement
in the community, end a Urge number of per
sons assemble^on Royal street, in front of Maj.
St Panl’s office, as be was being driven in a
carriage to the county jail. We shall look for
now and farther developments in the ease dar
ing the coarse of the day.”
The Public Dsdt.—The public debt state
ment, issued on the let of April, shows an in
debtedness lest cash in the Treasury amounting
to 92,625,196,461.74, and a redaction of the prin
cipal of the debt, as reported last month, of
92,692,039.10, whilst daring the same period
the sum of 92,916,820, has been issued to the
Pocifio Railroad Company and Branches—mak
ing a total reduction of debt proper of 95,607,
Font Flaxtxxo Wxathxs.—The farmers are
blest, so far, with remarkably fine weather for
planting, and the germination of the crops.
Com never came np better than it haa done for
a week past. The stand will be far better than
ordinary, and if we escape heavy frosts every
thing will be right for a fair start in cropping.
Hxstobt or Him—As in all human proba
bility the movement from Hayti for incorpora
tion into the grand repnblio will be successful,
end it is important to see what we are coming
to or what ia. coming to us, we reprint from
tbe New York World an interesting historical
sketch of this island. It will be found on our

Yellow Frvxa m Sours Atmans.—The yel
low fever is spreading rapidly on the south coast
of Peru, committing terrible ravages. It had
broken out on board the steamer Tnacarora,
and Paymaster Cashing died of it
Monroe Countt Sant—'The Ordinary of
Monroe county calls upon all holders of Monroe
oonnty Treasury notes to present them to
Messrs. B. Pye & Son for redemption, within
the next thirty days.
Locomotive Explosion.—Engine No. 63, on
the Nashville and Chattanooga Road, blew np
near Duck River bridge last Saturday evening,
killing the engineer and mortally wounding the
fireman. This is the fourth one of the engines
bought of the Government by that road which
has exploded. They are unhealthy.
Tax' Little Fishes.—The Cincinnati En
quirer is responsible for a joke upon our Sec
retary of State, Hamilton Fish, who was exhib
iting to a lady a collection of oil portraits of his
children. “What do you think of them ?” amid
the Secretary. “My dear sir," blandly respond
ed his guest, “they are capital sardines.
“Good sardines 7 What do yon mean by that?”
“Why, little Fishes in oil, of course.”
Dawson Hotel, Dawson, Ga. — This well-
known Hotel is kept by Mr. Wilet Jones, one
of the kindest and most accommodating land
lords in Southwestern Georgia. Everything
about the premises is in the neatest order, and
the table is bountifully supplied with good food
in the best condition. The servants are atten
tive, and no thing is omitted to make guests com
fortable.
Universal Scttemnos.—A Washington cot.
respondent of the Montgomery Advertiser re
ports a discussion with an African politician in
the Federal City. The following extract will
suffice: •
44 But what else can you want ?” sard I, sym
pathetically. 44 We must have universal ‘suffer
ings’ for the colored citizens, male and female,”
he replied.
44 1 suppose yon mean suffrage,” said I, “ for
God knows, the white and black race, male and
female, have had sufferings enough during the
last eight years.”
Never race of man stood a fairer chance for
44 universal sufferings,” than the blacks under
the manipulations of white politicians in America.
Lttwis Tact an, a New York “philanthropist,"
has published a pamphlet against the prevailing
eagerness to become rich. There are some
teachings of this sort, much older than Mr.
Tappan or his pamphlet, and it is not probable
that, while they fall, he will have better success.
If the publication of pamphlets would only rec
tify all the weaknesss of poor human nature—
but it won't

ment and re-form bis lines. He finally suc
ceeded in organizing his staff of official coun
sellors and began the work of bis political
campaign. Here be was met by the odious
tenure-of-office set; and here he finds that,
ss in his military career he had to encounter
the opposition of officials in high quarters in
the War Department in Washington, he has now
to be embarrassed with a similar hostility,
through the ambitions designs of tbe oligarchy
in the United States Senate. The old politicians,
too, are annoying him by their endeavors to dn-
cumvent his plans and to make him believe that
party is superior to country and that public plun
der is the proper reward of those trading parti
sans who helped to elevate him to the Presiden-
cy. We believe he has a harder fight now «h«n
he ever had in the field, and that he would any
day rather face the blaze of an enemy’s battery
than undergo the daily ordeal of meeting the bat
talions of office-seekers that invest the White
House. But his day his coming, just ss sorely
as his standard rose above tbe capital rity of the
foe. He is abased now osbe was on bis partial

now bestowed upon him will in tbe end, as it was

Since we con get no better assurance than this,

The Herald's whole article is baaed on
the recognition of a fact, too patent for dispute,
that a serious disappointment already exists
in the patriot mind of the country in reference
Uv the promise and prospects of the administra
tion. The people did not look for a Democratic
or an anti-republican party administration, but
they had persuaded themselves that Gen. Grant
would strike ont boldly for a constitutional, hon
est, fair and liberal administration. They
thought be would, to some extent, get out of tbe
old Radical ruts and carry on tho Government
with an eye to the general welfare, and in oppo-
tion to the administration of a Supreme Con
gress which is notoriously conducted in contempt
of the public welfare and in exclusive devotion
to tbe interests of the Radical faction, and of
tbsmaelTea aa its leaders. Upon this idea, Grant
was elected, and upon it wero based all those
promises of peace aqd prosperity which were so
profusely made by the Conservative Republi
can leaders.
But the la pee of one month, if it haa not struck
them dumb, baa produced a marked hesitation
and faltering. The aspects.as the Herald admits,
are not flattering. The appointments are gen
erally from the most malignant type of radical
ism, and with but few exceptions give littlo
assurance of reform and amendment in the per
sonal character of the appointees. Tbe tone
of tbe administration is far from elevated, and
indications are apparent that it will fail to
achieve the measure of executive independence
essential to any administration seeking the gen
eral welfare, and bent on maintaining constitu
tional government A general weakness and
vase illation are manifest rather than that kind
of soldierly Jacksonian firmnes* which was to
be tbe crowning characteristic of President
Grant In abort, everybody, except the mast
bitter and unscrupulous partisans, is chopfallen,
and tbe aasnnnoe of the Herald does not come
a moment too soon to rekindle the fading light
of hope, or revivo the drooping plant of popular
It will be bad business indeed if we are to
have four yean more of radical misrule. Tbe
country ia already so far from tbe straight road
of constitutional republicanism that the wont
radicals themselves think a return impossible.
They are bringing forward their projects for an
empire, or a dictatorship, satisfied that tbe gov
ernment cannot be ran much longer without
chart or compass, and in utter disregard of its
original plan and character. There must be a
change, and they want to overslaugh at onoe all
the dead letter rubbish of a constitutional gov
ernment, which ia practically ignored every min
ute in the day, and set up an autocracy which
shall no longer be embarrassed in any degree
by tho forms of law. This is the simps of af
fairs now, and the farther we travel in the sc
road the leas hope or possibility of a return to
republican usages and limitations.
■ Tho Herald borrows hope of better things,
because General Grant started inauspidoualy as
a soldier and afterward? displayed signal ability
in that career. Bat to say nothing of the funda
mental difference in the positions, there is this
unpromising contrast in Grant's past and future
experience—that whereas, in the one ease, the
obstade3 diminished as he proceeded, in the
present case they accumulate and increase with
every step. Every month he will be beset with
new difficulties, and they are not to be avoided
by even sinking the Presidential office into a
mere ministerial functionary of Congress.
Usurpation grows with indulgence. Tyranny
whets its appetite on non-resistance. They are
ever restless, unsatisfied and raging. They
must always have a victim, and a legislative
tyranny, when it has exhausted outside opposi
tion, will rend itself with its bloody fangs.
There is no peace in the premises bat the peace
of the Constitution or the peace secured by a
military autocracy. The one is Jhe peace of
liberty, law and justice—the other is the peace
of despotism. The Rump Parliament, after dis
patching all its enemies, turned upon itself and
another and more bloody and cruel war was pre
vented only by the despotism of Cromwell. Tho
French National Assembly did the same, and
France was saved from civil war and chaos by
the despotism of Napoleon.
Thia is the plain road the American Republic
is travelling with its Supreme Congress—respon
sible to no law, human or divine. The two
capes from universal chaos lie in fighting Con
gress back within Constitutional, limits, or in
destroying the whole fabric of dishonored paper
guarantees and in setting np a despotism strong
enough to overpower their factious tendencies
and prevent the catastrophe to which they in
evitably tend. Some of Grant’s ultra Radical
friends see this in time, and call upon him to be
dictator. Others were looking for him to fight
Congress on the lino of the Constitution, and
thev are beginning to abandon hope^ Both see
•the drift of things and know that uie aspec. of
affairs is far from satisfactory.
The Independent takes this view of the po
litical condition:
Grant “cares for no great idea," that he is
“lifted to a station which is one placed too high
for his genius,” and that the Radical party “will
gradually grow weaker and weaker, and their
opponents stronger and stronger.”
days marked their conduct on this occasion.
Though many were intoxicated, the day passed
without a single infringement of peace or good
order, and by dark all had left for their homes.
It may now be safely and certainly affirmed
that the races in this section are on good terms,
and that they are prepared to work together for
each other's good. The whites are satisfied
with the negro as a free dm an, voter and labor
er; are willing to give him employment at fair
wages; protect him in all his rights, and stand
by him in all his troubles. The negroes, having
discovered that the whites are not their enemies,
■s represented by by scalawags end carpet-bag
gers, but their true and only friends, have came
to the conclusion that they are, as yet, unfitted
for the arena of politics, end that their true
policy is to live upon terms of peace and friend
ship with us, and to content themselves in the
sphere of usefulness and tranquility.
Hancock County.
Tbe Hancock Weekly Journal of the 2d instant
says:
If we may judge of the coming crop by tbe
amount of fertilizer* brought to this county
during the past three months, it will be im
mense. But while thia is true, we are glad to
know that the greater part of it haa been paid
for, and that a failure of the crop would not
leave our planters so heavily involved in debt
as to prostrate them for another year.
There being a scarcity of field labor, there ia
a general disposition among the planters, we
believe, to cultivate leas land—making tbe fer
tilizers make up to aome extent, for the lack of
labor—and in this fact, we believe, will ha found
tbe secret of successful planting in Middle Geor
gia.
We are gratified to bear that a few of our
planters are determined to make corn enough to
do them. This ia a good policy—plant every
foot of lend in corn that you can spare cotton
seed to manure. Then plant a small area in
cotton and pile on the fertilizers till yon make it
rich—make it produce a bale to the acre, and it
matters not bow low tbe priee, there ia money
in it. But the less there is made, the greater
will be the nett profits, if you will raise plenty
of corn.
Monroe, Jasper, Jones anti IPikc.
Tbe (Monroe Advertiser of the Gth instant
aaya:
The wheat crop of this county, we are in
formed, has outgrown the gloomy prospects
which we reported a fortnight ago, and now
promises well. Oats, notwithstanding the injury
received from the late cold weather, nave every
appearance of turning ont a good yield.
We have information from Jasper, Jones and
Pike, as to the crop prospects in those counties.
In Jasper, the cotton crop will not be as largely
increased as in aome of the neighboring conn-
ties. Wboatia looking well. Planters are up
with their work, and everything ia progressing
finely. In Jones, the planters generally are
preparing for a large crop of cotton, in spite of
the advice of newspaper*. The provision crop,
however, will not be neglected. In Pike, the
farmers are not crazy on the cotton question,
and a good crop of corn is likely to be put in
tbe ground. In all these counties a lack of form
labor is complained of; but the energy of plan
ters, tho* far, has kept them np to time.
ItarbnrltleM in Cuba.
A dispatch to the Herald, speaking of the cap
ture of the British schooner, Jeff Davis, by a
Spanish steamer, says:
This vessel eras captured in tho old Bahama
Channel and brought into Caibarien because
she had on board as passengers five Cubans,
white and colored, who were endeavoring to
reach Nassau. On arriving the passengers were
at once brought on shore and their landing was
soon known. Two of them, Francisco M. Jim
enez and Rafael Falero, were persons of stand
ing and wealth. They were surrounded by a
mob of volunteers, and, in the presence of the
women and children of their own families, were
taken from tbe guard of marines who hod them
in charge and put to death in the street under a
promiscuous attack with guns, pistols, bayonets
and knives. Even after they were dead the
volunteers amused themselves by sticking their
bayonets into the lifeless bodies. When tired
of thia bloody pastime they searched the bodies,
.and finding a bag full of ounces, greeted the
discovery with cries of 44 Fmxj Erpana /" The
only crime of these two victims was merely that
of trying to escape from being sent to the
Island of Fernando Po. which has fallen to the
lot of all Cabana of any standing.
lien. Grant anti Georgia.
The National Intelligencer, of the 3rd, has
the following to say, bat it most be remembered
that the Intelligencer is an outsider:
“The statement that General. Grant haa ex-
opinions favorable to the interference
with the State Government of
regard as inaccurate to say the
We have very good* reason to believe
that General Grant ia tired of this continnal
tinkering at the reconstruction business, and
thinks that States which are in the Cnionshould
not be put out again. He favored some time
the submission of the question of negro
xility to the judicial tribunals of Georgia,
he might possibly favor an ultimate decision
of the issue by the United States Supreme Court;
bat that he would prefer to see any hostile leg
islation directed against Georgia ia opposed to
his repeatedly expressed opinions. He prob
ably has the sagacity to see that this is not the
road to peace, and we guarantee that not for
one moment would he approve such a bill as Mr.
Butler has drawn."
Ballooning Across the Atlantic.—Nho New
York Tribune says:
Hons. A Chevalier, the distinguished aeronaut
who lately arrived in this city for the purpose of
making a balloon voyage hence to Europe, has
leased Landmann's park, Sixty-seventh street
and Third avenue, where he will make several
ascents during the next two months, prior to his
final departure on his great transatlantic voyage,
which will be on the 3!st of July. More*than
one hundred applications have been received by
M. Chevalier from persons desirous to accom
pany him on his perilous trip. The price fixed
for the passage is 9230, «nd not all who offer
themselves at that price will be accepted by the
professor ss eompagnont da togage, as he wish
es to take with him only such persons os ere
capable, through mental and physical qualifica
tions, of assisting him in his scientific observa
tions, for the sake of which, chiefly, the daring
project is undertaken.
An Insurgent Yictobt in Cuba.—The Rich
mond Dispatch publishes a special Washington
telegram of the 3d instant, which says :
Intelligence received here to-day by the agents
of the revolutionists in Cub* state that a des

ing a brilliant victory and capturing large num
bers of troops, supplies, and a half million in
