The Natural Alliance between the
West and South.
We are glad to see the Western prints re
minding their readers that there is a natural alli
ance between the West and the South, and their
present combination with the Eastern States to
degrade and destroy ns is equally unnatural and
suicidal. The very soil of the gTeat States of
the West was the free gift of Old Virginia to the
Federal Government—given in the liberality and
magnificent patriotism of her great heart to aid
the infant Hercules who afterwards strangled
her.
The West, so far as the larger portion of her
American population is concerned, is the child,
of the South; but if we say nothing of the ties
of consanguinity, the West is bound to the
South by her interests so closely that she can
not cripple us without crippling herself. We
are the best customers of the West, but she
must back us in our efforts to recover wealth,
If she would have ns as useful and valuable as
we can be. We buy of the West annually just
as much as we can pay for; and we pay her in
money, and not, like New England, in manufac
tured gimcracks, on which we have compelled
the West to pay sixty per cent, bounty, in the
shape of a protective tariff.
New England is greedily monopolizing the
bank circulation and the bonded wealth of the
country which is exempt from taxation. She
has contrived to effect an almost equal absorp
tion of the power, patronage and influence of
the Federal Government. She dictates the en
tire policy of the consolidated machine, and
controls the political power of the great West, in
opposition to the vital interest of that section.
Why should it be so? Why should the West
permit herself to be used to her own injury for
the oppression and degradation of the Southern
whites—her natural allies—her best customers
—having a common agricultural interest, each
of which is but the supplement of the other, and
both of which are essential to a high degree oj
wealth and prosperity ? Let the West ponder
over these questions.
“Dismtcnos os Aooorsr op Colob.”—The
Boston Courier is informed that the Indians on
the plains refuse to scalp negro soldiers killed
in battle, while they never fail to take that ad
vantage of the whites every time. The Courier
says this distinction is not founded on capilla
ry reasons, but is in contempt of the negro.
The Indians themselves say “nigger no brgvi
no warrior.” The Courier therefore denounces
this conduct on the part of the Indians as in
flagrant violation of the new amendments and
the whole reconstruction policy, and OsH* for its
condigp punishment.
Jons asd Joseph.—John Forsyth, of the Mo
bile Daily Register, has been hob-nobbing with
Joseph Medill, of the Chicago Tribune, who is on
a visit to Mobile. Forsyth leads the Alabama
Democrats, and Medill is the fugleman of the
Illinois Radicals—oil and water, one would sup
pose, and yet they commingled freely. The
Register says Medill has agreed to take back
some of those rebel atrocity stories; and he
ought to do it.
Powin o» the Whaix.—The Savannah Re
publican reports that the steamship America,
on the inward voyage off Cape Henry, on the
27th of March lost, while going twelve knots,
two huge whales were discovered, one of which
rose under the bow, shaking the steamship and
breaking seven feet off the stem, shivering it so
badly that it had to be cut off and repaired.
The whale came to the surface on the port bow
and sunk out of sight. The other whale was
half a mile off toward shoro.
State Tax oh Liquor Saxes.—We havo copied
on our ontsido a circular from the Comptroller
General of Georgia to the Tax Collectors, di
recting them to collect upon all sales of liquor
in quantities less than thirty gallons, since let
January, 18C9, a tax of twinty cents per gallon,
to be devoted to educational purpose*.
Sold.—The Montgomery Mail says the Radi
cals sold the “old flag” at public auction, in
that city, last Tuesday. It brought three dol
lars, and was purchased by a Conservative, who*
.perhaps, will send it to Mr. Greeley, with the
inquiry whether this is the identical “hate’s
polluted rag ” he used to write about.
Exkvzx States have now ratified the fifteenth
amendment to tho Constitution. They are Kan
sas, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan,
Maine, Sonth Carolina, Arkansas, and Pennsyl
vania. On the other hand, Georgia and Dela
ware have rejected the amendment.
CouniKtKQBrsxxxss ahs Pleasure: The Barnes-
ville Gazette says the stockholders of High
Falls Cotton Manufacturing Company will again
meet at the High Falls on May 1st next, at
which time and place there will also be a May
party. A large crowd is expected.
Frost in Fxotd.—Tho Rome Cornier of the
Oth" says, that on Monday morning there was
heavy frost in that vicinity. It cut down all
tender vegetables, such as Irish potatoes, beans,
etc., and probably killed a considerable portion
of the early peaches.
Colquitt A Baogs.—Our friend Gen. Alfred
Colquitt seems to be leaving polities as a bad
case. We call attention to his card—Colquitt
A Baggs, Cotton Factors and General Commis
sion Merchants, Bay Street, Savannah—that
the ticket now, and we have no doubt it will be
well supported.
We are indebted to our young friend, R, TT
Dessau, M. D., for a copy of the Annual State
ment of the Guardians for the Relief and Em
ployment of the Poor of the City of Philadel
phia, for the fiscal year ending December 31st,
1863. It is a magnificent testimonial to the lib
eral charities of that great city.
Connecticut Election.—Jewell, the Republi
can candidate" for Governor, has a majority esti
mated at about 500. The Senate will be com
posed of fourteen Republicans and seven Dem
ocrats, and the Republicans will have about
twenty majority in the House.
A labor number of the prominent citizens

Register says that CoL W. D. M»nn, of that
city, is putting up extensive works for the man
ufacture of Cotton Seed Oil.

county was in the offioe yesterday—as natural

Georgia 1b Congress.
On Wednesday, as appears from a press tele
gram, Butler's bill for tinkering Georgia, was
introduced and attempted to be carried through
under a call, from the author, of the previous
question. This cal], however, did not meet with
second, and a general debate upon the bill fol
lowed, in which it is stated that Mr. Bingham
made an elaborate constitutional argument in
opposition to the bill, and the Honse adjourned
without action.
We shall, in all probability, get more light to-
day; but if there is to be a contest on the bill,
is at least doubtful whether it gets through
Congress this session. Only two days remain
before adjournment,, and. there is too much
other work indispensable to be done, to permit
mnch time to be expended in discussion about
Georgia. .
The.dispatch, moreover, inspires the belief
that the opposition to the bin is serious and
weighty, and likely to be pertinacious. Bing
ham, who takes issue with it, contests with But
ler the positidh of leader of the administration
party in the House, and probably carries with
him a larger personal influence. It is said, too,
that he opposed the bill “in an elaborate con
stitutional argument.” The reader might, in
ordinary times, with no great effort of the had,
nation, anticipate the line of a constitutional
argument against a purposed act of Congress
which should undertake to purge the Legisla
ture of a State and to annuli its legislation. If
the Constitution were considered, in fact, any
thing more than a dead letter, it might well be
conceived that such a proposition, (if there could
possibly bo a serious division upon it,) would
excite as earnest, searching and protracted de
bate, as has ever been heard in Congress.
But in the present political demoralization of
Congress and the country, one cannot pretend
speak with any confidence on such a point.
The Senate has spent days in discussing whether
Gen. Longstreet shall be confirmed in his ap
pointment to an insignificant office in Louisi
ana, while they have not found time to recon
struct that unfortunate State. The aspects in
the House, however, do seem to warrant the
hope of a division upon this bill serious enough
to be fatal to it at the heel of a session when
there is so much other business that must be
[dona.
The President's special message also gives ns
some hope of escape in what it fails to recom
mend. It does not recommend any action in
the case of Georgia. There is nothing in it
which lends color to the reported assurances he
has made of support and co-operation in Geor
gia reconstruction. He omits to make any
recommendation or suggestion at all in relation
to Georgia; and it is worthy of remark that
those which arc mode as to Virginia and Missis
sippi are entirely harmonions with the views of
tho conservatives in those States.
On the whole, we still live in hope that Geor
gia will be passed by, and escape a third recon
struction this session of Congress. If so, we
shall have a breathing spell of six months or
more. But two days will tell the tale.
Political Proscription.
Much oditorial thunder and lightning has been
hurled at the heads- of “ unreconstructed and
disloyal Southern planters,” because, os is said,
some of them havo been guilty of political pro
scription by discharging or threatening to dis
charge from employment noisy and quarrelsome
Radical negro politicians. There was mnch
complaint abont tins matter, although the occa
sion for it was very inadequate; for we do not
believe that a score of negro laborers in Georgia
havo ever been tamed ont of employment for
political reasons. The practice never prevailed
to any extent—for two reasons: One of these is
tho scarcity of labor itself, and the other is that
the practice itself is revolting to the liberal
minds of our people.
But we have in the papers of the day tho
meanest development of political proscription
by the Secretary of the Navy which we think
the country has ever yet seen. The Philadelphia,
newspapers print the following, from the Com
mandant of the V. 8. Navy Yard, at Philadel
phia, to the Superintendent of the Yard:
Commandant's Omcz, U. S. Navy Yard, >
‘ Philadelphia, March 31, 1869. f
Sib : By direction of the Navy Department,
you will see that no person hostilo to the pres
ent administration will be employed in tho yard
department under your control
Preference should in' aU cases be given to
thoso who have
ose who have belonged to the Union party.
The Secretary of the Navy particularly de
sires this should be done.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) J. B. Mabchand, Com'dt
Here then are orders to throw every demo*
cratio mechanic and laborer in the Philadelphia
Navy Yard ont of employment—but, then, what
business had they to be democrats and white
men? _
From Lee County.
Please, Messrs. Editors of the Telegraph, al
low me to say in your paper a few words in re
gard to the planting interests of Southwest
Georgia. I have got abont fifty hands, and
some of them as good as can be found. These
fifty represent (inclnding themselves,) abont
150 of all sizes and sexes, inclnding also twenty-
five grown able-bodied and healthy women who
do nothing. If every place is like mine, not
half the negro labor in the country is at work,
and wo cannot make a large cotton crop at best.

A Republican Loose.
The late “ personal explanation ” of Senator
Sprague, repudiating the slander that his
speeches were inspired by the wine cup, eta,
seems to have been called ont by an editorial in
the Providence Journal, containing that insula
tion. The Journal publishes the following note
to that paper by Senator Sprague:
To the Editor of the Journal, Providence, R I.:
Sib—I am in receipt of a slip from your pa
per of the 25th, referring to me. The most
outrageous insinuation that yon set forth, will
be answered by me in my place in the Senate.
As yon reflect the sentiments, and are tied in ser
vitude to the overshadowing powerthat attempts
to control both the politics and public senti
ments of Rhode Island. I shall give to that in
fluence the setting forth it is entitled to. As I
strike directly at the power of which you are
the lickspittle, you and those who control yon
will find that I am indeed in terrible earnest.
Take, therefore, as yon now have, the position
in public that I have long known was your pri
vate sentiment. Your present is far more hon
orable, if honor belongs to your nature, than
your past dastardly and cowardly one has been.

Foote ou the Administration.
The irrepressible Henry 8. Foote is out again
in a three-column letter of counsel and admoni
tion to the Tennesseeans. He has just return
ed from Washington, and so far as his discove
ries are of general importance, we find them in
the next paragraphs, from a letter of three col
umns, printed in the Nashville Union and Amer
ican, of the 7th instant:
the president.
I am sure that no man of discernment can
visit Washington City and cooly survey the
scenes there in progress, as I have just done,
without coining to the conclusion that an indi
vidual is now in the Presidential chair of the
soundest intellect; of a firm nod inflexible will
in regard to concerns of moment, yet most
bland and conciliatory in reference to all mat
ters of trivial import; of a calm and considerate
temper; possessed of mnch knowledge of men
and of the general motives of human action;
frank and confiding, yet watchful and circum
spect ; with a generous and affectionate temper;
a soul exempt from all low prejudices and all
stormy passions; a hero, a patriot, and a true
philanthropist. I have seen and known more
or less of the various occupants of the White
House, from the days of James Monroe to the
present moment, and I aver before Heaven and
my countrymen, that it is my deliberate opinion
that-there has not been yet, in the long list of
our Presidential Chiefs, amanmore happily fitted
for the performance of executive duties of every
kind, that the illustrious personage who, against
the wishes of many of our most enlightened and
meritorious citizens was elected in November
last to the highest office in the gift of the Amer
ican people.
All men of sense whom I met in Washington
most freely admit that, however high may be
the abilities and virtues of Horatio &ymour, it
would have been altogether impossible for him
successfully to meet the multiplied difficulties
which General Grant is every instant encoun
tering and overcoming, in part, by the aid of
-his unequaled personal popularity, and in part,
I also, by reason of his enjoying tho full con
fidence and respect of almost every leading man
in Congress. Some of the members of his Cab
inet I have formerly known, and known most
favorably, with others I formed a most gratify
ing acquaintance daring my sojourn in Wash
ington, and were I now called upon to name
one of them in place of whom I should be in
clined to wish some other individual to be sub*
stitnted, as being probably better suited to the
duties to be performed, I really should not be
able to do so. I was much gratified at finding
the general temper and spirit of Congress greatly
improved of late. There is a prevalent inclina
tion to sustain the President and his Cabinet in
all their efforts to promote the national welfare;
unkind and discourteous collisions in debate
are seldom known to occur, and I am confident
that there is now on almost universal desire
for the speedy removal of civil disabilities in
the Sonth, in accordance with the known and
constantly expressed desire of Gen. Grant turn-
self and of his Cabinet advisers.
THE SOUTHERN STATES.
I am personally cognizant of all that has re
cently occurred in Washington touching thoso
States of the Sonth not at present represented
in Congress, and though I am not at liberty to
disclose nil that I know upon this interesting
subject at present, I feel justified in declaring
I that tho action of both the President and
■Congress in regard to those States has been
just in all respects as the most enlightened and
reasonable persons resident therein have them
selves desired and asked In none ofthauisl
a harsh and oppressive government to be es
tablished and upheld by military power against
the ascertained will of the people. I will here
state, by way of illustration, some facts which I
personally bow in relation to the policy adopt
ed by tho President, with the nndoubted appro
val of Congress, in reference to the State of
Mississippi. I chanced to meet the Commis
sioners rcceiitly sent from that State whilst in
Washington, and hod the honor of conferring
with some of them (Messrs. Brown, Watson, and]
Simmral) more than once in regard to I
tho grave matters which they bad in charge. I
These gentlemen will all avouch what I now as
sert, that General Grant very promptly granted
them in behalf of thoso whom they represented
all that they asked at his hands; that tho House
of Representatives, in voting down Gen. But
ler’s bill a week ago, by an overwhelming ma
jority, placed themselves in perfect accord with
the position of the President-, and that leading
Radicals in that body, on the most kind and
confidential terms with the President (Messrs.
Dawes, Farnsworth and others), mado manly
and eloquent speeches, in support of the great
principles of constitutional freedom, and against
the proposition to reinstate the defunct Conven
tion there in the powers which it has already so
cruelly abused. It is no breach of confidence
for me to state that worthy and patriotic Sen-1
atom of tho dominant party in Congress ;;a
the most emphatic assurance to some of tho
commissioners, in my hearing, that if even the]
bill of Gen. Butler should pass the House of
Representatives, it would bo defeated in thel
ISenato by a very decided majority.
T.TBERIT.TTT OT THE PRESIDENT AND CONOBESS.
I am justified by these and other facts in as^
serting, and I am sore that I can do so without I
the hazard of contradiction, that, at the present
moment, tho President and his Cabinet, and a
large majority of both Houses of Congress, are
in favor of punning such a course, generally,
in the delicate concerns of our section, os will
be consistent with justice, with the Constitution,!
| and with a wise and providing statesmanship.
Ha singular case is reported in one of onr ex
changes. Forty years ago a blooming young
of sixteen married an old man of sixty for
^E money, expecting that he would soon die and
leave her a wealthy yonng widow. “ Hope de
ferred makes the heart sick,” and last week the
lady died at the respectable age of fifty-six,!
leaving a husband aged one hundred, and four
children to mourn her loss.

“They have advanced on the Capitol of late
in greater force than ever, and have even com
menced to lay seige to members and Senators at

the doorkeeper of the House, who is opposite
