. A Little I.urK Loft.
Georgia is going to escape a third reconstruc
tion this session. That is the first piece of good
political luck which has hapened to us for ten
years. No elections—no Legislatures—no foss
es thie summer—nothing to disturb the tran
quility of the Slate—the growth of com and
cotton, and the progress of agriculture general
ly. It is a piece of good fortune which we
hardly dared to hope for, and we congratulate
, the people npon it. Evidently some strong in
fluences have been at work in the Republican
party to foil the settled purpose of reconstruct
ing and punishing Georgia, the existence of
which was clearly manifest so late as a month
ago. We doubt not that Gen. Grant has sedu
lously discouraged it, and we are not disposed
to undervalue the efforts of Nelson Tift, Gen.
Young, and such of the Georgia Republicans
who threw themselves into the breech to pre
vent another disorganization of the State Tift
and Young have displayed immense industry
and pertinacity—have exhausted every recourse
to avert the threatened catastrophe. The peo
ple of Georgia owe them much.
Andy Johnson In Nashville.
The Nashville papers devote several columns
tor an account of ex-President Johnson's recep
tion in that city last Thursday. All along the
road from Chattanooga the people thronged to
meet him. At Murfreesboro a Nashville com
mittee in five cars met him, one of which con
tained a committee of colored men. In Nash
ville he was received with great pomp by all the
societies and people. Judge Gaut delivered a
welcoming address, and Hr. Johnson responded
substantially as at Knoxville.
Tax Savaxn-aii, Grams and Nobib Alabama
Railboad.—The Griffin Middle Georgian of the
9 th instant leams that the early completion of
this road is now quite probablo. The recent
choice of Mr. A. J. White as President, and his
acceptance of the position, coupled with the
fact of his being backed up by a very efficient
and thorough-going board of directors, is a mat
ter which will inspire overy friend of the enter
prise with full confidence in its success.
The same paper further leams that the city
authorities of Griffin will at an early day sub
mit the question of an additional subscrip
tion of twenty-five thousand dollars to this road,
-to the voters of the city. The Middle Georgian
declares itself qualifiedly for subscription, but
promises to have more to say on the subject
hereofler. ■
The Middle Georgian requests persons having
stock in this road to on advertisement of the
Treasurer, who will bo in Griffin on the 14th and
16th, for tho purpose of issuing new stock for
old. •
Pjfzoocious Ksavxbt.—A dispatch from Uti
ca says that four boys, the eldest only seven
teen, have been arrested in that city for the
robbery erf freight on the Central Railroad.
They have been in tho habit for a year or more
of concealing themselves on the trains, and
then breaking into the cars while they were in
motion, robbing them of valuable goods. It is
thought that since they first commenced, they
have plundered the trains of upward of ten
thousand dollars' worth of goods, a large por
tion of which thoy subsequently destroyed.
They all plead guilty, and implicated a man
named William Terry as the instigator of the
robbery.
Rbodb Island State Election.—Tho election
for State officers and members of the .Legisla
ture of Rhode Island took place on Wednesday
last The vote was a light one. The Repub
lican ticket, headed by Seth Faddleford, candi
date for Governor, was elected by almost 3,000
majority. Returns from oil but four towns give
Paddle ford 6858, and Pieroe, Democrat,’3000.
The Senate will probably comprise 27 Republi
cans and six Democrats, and the House sixty-
one Republicans and eleven Democrats.
Gm Hoes* Burned.—On Sunday night last, a
gin house was burned on the place occupied by
Nathan Tooruer (freedman), belonging to Wil
liam M. Haslen. It contained nine bales of cot
ton and involved a loss of about two thousand
dollars. There was no insurance on the prop
erty. The fire is supposed to have been com
municated by an incendiary. The gin house
was located about four miles from Marshalville.
Heavy Robbery.—St. John’s Safety Fund
Building, corner Twelfth and' Chestnut streets,
Philadelphia, was robbed on Friday last. The
watchman left at 6 a. at., and returned at 5 r.
K, when he found the safe broken open and the
contents, from $800,000 to $1,000,000, carried
off. Of stolen funds, over $000,000 consisted
valuable funds, greenbacks, etc.
Another Attempt to Assassinate the Yice-
bot or Eottt.—Dispatches from Alexandria say
another attempt to assassinate the. Viceroy of
Egypt has been discovered and frustrated. A
loaded bomb was found under his chair at the
theatre, and was withdrawn before it could ex
plode. A large number of suspected parties
have been arrested.
The Stobt of Ned Foboeron.—We have not
published this story for ten years, and it is time
to print it again. To some it will be new, and
to all welcome. See first page in to-day’s im
pression of the Daily Telegraph.
The Georgia Box.—Somebody prints in the
National Intelligencer of the 3d, a powerful ex
pose of the Butler bill. It is probably from the
pen of Mr. Tift,—but the Butler bill is dead.
West Georgia Gazette.—Our friend, B. T.
Oastellaw, editor and proprietor of the West
Georgia Gazette, is in town on business connect
ed with his journal, the recognized exponent of
truth and justice in Talbot and adjoining coun
ties. . •- .••.'.o«bV
Eatonton Press and Messenger.—W. M. Jef
ferson, Esq., of the Press and Messenger in our
good (fid county of Putnan, is in town soliciting
patronage for his journal, which we hope he will
obtain abundantly.
A Taleino Bart.—A Dr. J. H. Sudduth, of
St. Charles, Minnesota, writes to the editor of
the St. Charles Herald, about a baby who talks
at three months old—accosts his mother from the
andle and say “mama, take baby up,” or “ba
by wants dinner," as plainly as a child five or
six years old.
“ The Imperialist” and shat it Meant
“ The Imperialist” has appeared—we have
not seen it—but the New York Commercial Bul
letin has, and discourses upon its advent at
length. Says the Bulletin ;
Tho Imperialist, a copy of which is before us,
presents the appearance of something more than
an April joke. It is a handsome sixteen page
paper, published evidently without regard to
cost, and containing, among others, the adver
tisements of several of the leading publishing
and banking houses, and financial institutions of
the city. We cannot, of course, predict its suc
cess, but whether it is sustained or not will de
termine the sentiments of the people. Judging
from its appearance, the publishers are either
regardless of expense or else are assured of a lib
eral support from the public.
And now we ask, what does all this mean?—
Can it be that the people of the United States,
sick of official corruption and seeing no hope of
reforming the defects and abnses that have crept
into our system of government, are willing to
accept with apathetic indifference any change
that will be forced on them by ambitious poli
ticians. Possibly this is true ; if so, we have
ourselves to thank. Legislative corruption
would not have existed if corrupt legislators
had not been placed in office and kept there;
and official dishonesty would have been un
known if the American pnblic had vigilantly
watched and held to strict accountability those
who were entrusted with responsibility in the
administration of our civil service.
We do not believe, however, that the affairs
of the country are in a condition too bad to be
remedied: or, that an imperialism offers the on
ly refnge from the fraud aud corruption that is
eatiDg out the very heart-of republican institu
tions. If the people will once rouse themselves,
and, realizing the importance of a reform in the
administration of our Government, weed out the
irresponsible and dishonest officials and elect
honest and honorable men in their stead, we
need have, no fear for the perpetuity of the Gov
ernment, and the cry of “imperialism for Ame
rica,” will find no echo in the hearts of the
people.
The Imperialist ” comes out Tery squarely,
and does not mince matters. “ For the first
time in the history of the United States,” says
that paper, "an American journal dares to pro-
daim, as false and pernicious, in their influence,
the democratic dogmas of popular sovereignty
and equality, and to demand that on the ruins
of this unfortunate Republic, shall be reared the
firm and substantial structure of an Empire!"
And now we ask,” says the Commercial Bul
letin, “what dots all this mean !” Well, without
laying daim to any particular astuteness, we
think we can tell the Bulletin what it means. It
means simply a reactionary state of the pnblic
mind, growing out of the abuses and prostitu
tion of Republicanism and popular sovereignty,
so-called.
It seems to be the ordination of Providence
{hat whatever is most valuable in its legitimate
use and application, shall be most deadly and
destructive in its abuse and maladministration.
No theory of government certainly can be sound
er, fairer and better, in itself considered, than
that of a constitutional republic. Hero the will
of the majority is the power, subject inexorably
to those great overruling principles of private
and public justice recognized, ordained and
established in the fundamental law!
Now, just so long as the Constitution of such
a Government interposes- an insnrmountable
barrier to the injustioo and oppression of ma
jorities everything is safe and equitable. The
personal and political rights of every man and
evory minority, however unpopular, are amply
shielded by tho fundamental law. The majority,
as is their due, control and administer the gov
ernment according to their tastes and opinions
in all subordinate matters, while tho minority is
safe in every essential right of person and prop
erty under the shelter of a fundamental law
which cannot be invaded. ( ’
Thus, just so long os the Constitution is
maintained, a Republican Government is bound
to be the most equitable, liberal and aecure form
of government known among men. Even if
the ballot becomes to some extent ignorant and
corrupt, no irreparable mischief is done, so
long as tho Constitution, like a wall of fire,
guards and secures the grand and inalienable
rights of tho freeman. The Government might
bo managed unwisely, corruptly and wastefully,
but just so long as it should be restrained with
in its appropriate sphere by tho limitation of
the Constitution, its citizens would be secure,
and it would be subserving all the essential ob
jects of a free government
This is tho reason why all intelligent Ameri
can politicians insist so much upon the Consti
tution. It is, as will be seen, the whole story
of liberty, socurity and tranquility i«*a nutshell.
It is tho Alpha and Omega—the beginning and
the ending of everything of any value in the
Grand Bcpublio of the United States of Amer
ica. ;
Now, in order to reduce this government to
the most wretched imposture underthe sun, you
have to do but two things: The first of these
is to destroy the authority of the constitution.
No man is then safe unless he is in the biggest
crowd. To be in a minority is to be stripped
of all defence and protection -, and we see that,
to a considerable extent, -this is the case with all
men in the minority at this time. Nor, in fact,
is the majority safe from itself—for it is con
trolled by no law except its own caprice. No
other protection is then left to anybody, except
what may be found in the force of habit, tradi
tion, populargood nature and forbearance. The
usages of freedom often survive for a time the
legal muniments which protect and enforce
them.
The second thing to be done in order to facil
itate and complete the work of rain, is to cor
rupt and debase the ballot. By these two pro
cesses you strip freedom of ail her defences
and arm despotism for the onslaught. The
rapidity and fatality of the progress of mischief,
mfiery and ruin become then questions only of
time and the chapter of accidents. The work
of degeneration is sure. The road you have
entered upon can lead only to a certain catastro
phe. - ■ y >...
No reader need be told that the American
people have entered npon and are industriously
pushing forward on this fatal highway. Every
body knows it, although very few see the dan
ger. Everybody knows that the Constitution has
been set aside and the suffrage debased. But
the mass of the people aro wholly indifferent to
the Constitution, and ridicule those who think
anything about it as a set of old fogies who axe
behind the times. They neither know nor care
for any Constitution. Their ideas of Govern
ment go no further than the direct motive and
aggressive power—the ballot—and they shut
their eyes to the patent fact that in all systems
of government, from the simplest in mechanism
and physics up to the grand system of moral
government ordainedby God himself, restraints
and counterbalances are as essential as motive
power. The simplest machine constructed alone
upon the naked principle of propulsion would
work its own ruin in a moment, audit must be
unreasonable to look for better results from the
American system when remitted solely to the
mere propulsive power of the ballot
Now, without the smallest stretch of the im
agination, we can conceive that the “imperial-
sts” in America see the manifest direction of
own time, we have seen trial by jury in our
frontier States, whistled down in contempt, and
lynch law established, owing to the corruption
of juries. Contrast the popular estimation of
the Congress of tho United States at the present
time with what it was but a generation ago!
Then it inspired a universal and profound rev
erence—now it is viewed only with apprehension
and disgust?
Abuse unfortunately misdirects popular oppro
brium to the thing abused and perverted. The
Radicals debase suffrage as they tell rs to edu
cate aud elevate the negro. The result is, and
st be, to inspire a contempt for the suffrage
and to break the lever by which they propose to
elevate the negro. The human mind cannot
respect that which is not respectable either in
its operation or results.*
Now, the-whole of tbig talk about an Empe
ror, whether it amount to more or less, is the
offspring of popular disgust and re-action. It
is a natural result of the Radical labors to pros
titute and pervert the government, which have
inspired a growing conviction among the people
that it is on the high road to ruin, and is neith
er safe nor worthy the confidence and respect
it once inspired. The prediction of anarchy or
imperalism as the inevitable result of existing
causes is. heard on all sides and everywhere;
and, in troth, it seems to ns there is bat one es
cape from it; and that lies in retracing our
steps.and a return to Constitutional Republi
canism.
