Wagnery of the Georgia Radical*.
Forney's Washington Chronicle of the 8th
flames with the following dispatch from Atlanta:
Atlanta, Ga., April 7, 1869.
Mi.fi P. Farrowj Willard'* Hotel, WatfJag-
lon:
Fifty thonsand white Republicans of Georgia
are anxiously awaiting the action of Congress.
What are we to expect ? . Answer immediately.
H. K. McKav. N. Yarborough,
E. Halbert,' C. E. Broyles,
A. L. Harris, L. H. Baker,
George F. Burnett, R H. Lester,
•/. W."Caldwell. And many others.
What we like in the foregoing ls “the word
white.'’ It has a smack of antiquity, usage and
precedent, and shows that, although it has been
“struck out" very generally by the Radicals,
yet, in their opinion, there is still a lingering
charm abont it. Bnt where are those “fifty
thonsand white Republicans of Georgia ?" The
party polled altogether last fall 57,000 votes,
of which perhaps about fifty thousand were ne
groes. That leaves seven thonsand whites—
more than half of them, as we have no doubt,
are entirely opposed to the disorganization of
the State. The balance, say three thousand,
may possibly have been on the anxious bench
as described, bnt we imsgino their “anxiety”
has very much abated, and will soon cease alto
gether. Where are those “fifty thonsand anx
ious white Republicans?”
Keep Vons Receipts.—The Knoxville Press
and Herald sayB that one of the most telling
points in Mr. Johnson's speech was made when,
as the evidence of his loyalty, he produced the
following document:
Received, Nashville, March 21th, 1862, of
Andrew Johnson, Military Governor of Tennes
see, fifteen hundred dollars, to aid in the estab
lishment of a Union Press at Knoxville, Ten
nessee, and to defray my expenses while pass
ing from under secession oppression to the city
of Nashville. Wx. G. Bbowmlow.
For a time ho withheld the signature while
he dwell upon the intrinsic proof the paper af
forded of his own loyalty. But when in re
sponse to repeated inquiries he read the namo
of William G. Brownlow as the maker of the
receipt, a tumult of cheers and langhter arose.
Rumors or War.—The sir, says the World,
is full of rumors of war. The stoppage of troops
from going to the West; the sending of soldiers
to Key West; the dispatch of naval vessels to
the Gulf; the activity of annexationists over
schemes to swallow Cuba, San Domingo, and
almost any other ialand that olfers; the myste
rious outgivings of the administration press.
What do these things mean ? Has Alaska proved
ao profitable a job that something else must be
“annexed” at once? Can it be the old trick of
some external commotion to cover an internal
difficulty? Or are we to have a display of the
one strong point of the man who was first in war
and who may be last in peace ?
Cubans Drilling in New York.—A corres
pondent of the New York Tribune has visited a
drill-room used by Cubans in that city who are
engaged in recruiting for the revolutionaiy
forces. He says: “In reply to questions it
was stated that there were probably 1,500 Cu
bans drilling in that city, in thirteen different
halls, besides fonr or five hundred ih Philadel
phia. When they would sail, no one seemed to
know, as the leaders of the enterprise kept that
a secret, even from the captain, bnt it was as-
cartained that plenty of ammunition and Spen
cer rifles would be forthcoming whenever
needed, and that two companies, one of 60 men
and the other of 70, had already left.”
The Eight-Hour Law.—Orders were issued
at the Washington Arsenal on Saturday, by
direction of the Secretary of War, giving the
employees the alternative of working ten hours
per day, or working eight hours at a reduction
of twenty per cent, upon the price now paid.
The employees have, in consequence of the
dullness of the times, accepted the ten-hour al
ternative, but expect that Congress will soon
pass an explanatory act declaring that In haring
passed tho eight-hour act it was not contem
plated that a reduction of pay should follow a
redaction of hours of labor.
Killing Frost To-Night.—Such is the report
of our city newsmen as they they come in, from
time to timo, this (Tuesday) evening, and report
the weather growing colder every minnte. We
hope their evil vaticinations may not be sus
tained by tho fact; but it is very cold for the
season. The wind has lieen blowing strongly
from the North all day, and there is much reason
to fear a pretty "general catastrophe! amongst the
“ garden trock.” ...
Virginia.—The opinion is expressed that
Morton's amendment to the Virginia, Missis
sippi and Texas lib, making the adoption of
tho fifteenth amendment a condition precedent
to the admission of those States to representa
tion in Congress, will defeat the Constitutions.
The Qotoey (Florida) Monitor aaya: ' Wa
notice the presence here of n number of North
ern gentlemen, some of whom intend residing
here permanently, haring become delighted
with this section of the State. They are from
Concord, N. H.
Scttxrixo Southern Exiles-—A Washington
dispatch says: “President Grant said Ia*t night,
in a conversation touching the South, that the
Consuls in Brazil and Honduras have been in
structed, to provide for the retain to the United
States of those suffering Southern exiles who
are anxious but unable to come home.”*
The Pensacola Observer says: “Large num
bers of Spaniards are leaving Cuba by every
available chance and seeking refuge in New Or
leans and this city. Many have arrived during
the week past, and house-room is consequently
growing a little scarce. ”
From present indications, says the Ocala
(Fla.) Banner, we will have one of the. most
favorable crop seasons known to Florida for
many years. Look out for the tide of immigra
tion to commence to flow to our interior coun
ties next year.
Reveedy Johnson Recalled.—The President
has directed the recall of Minister Reverdy
Johnson from the Court of St. James. Secre
tary Fish has already sent the official request to
Mr. Johnson in London.
Indiana.—It will be seen that the Indiana
B.dioala have knocked under and agreed to
postpone the fifteenth amendment until after a
popular election.
The New York Revolution wants married
women to retain their maiden names.
On the Prevailing Cant.
One, John C. Jacobs, in the New York Leg.
islatnre—the “old original Jacobs,” we suspect,
in denouncing the fifteenth amendment, took
occasion to remark as follows :
Then the gentlemen spoke of caste. He told
ns that caste and the prerogatives of caste
must give way to the progress of the day. Why,
sir, away down in Massachusetts—and I tlmiV
the gentleman from Dutchess (Mr. Hegeman)
spoke of it in his speech—away down in Massa
chusetts there was a settlement years ago of
white men coming from a foreign dime They
founded a colony; they found a foe in the In
dian. Did they assimilate with him ? Not at
alL They kept away from him; they fought him
and exterminated him. What is the result ?
Why, the hardy race of New England. Away
down in South America the white men made
settlements, and they assimilated with the In
dian; and what is the result? Let the rotten
republic of Mexico, and the degenerate repub
lics of South America answer. Talk about
caste! Why, his own ancestors repelled asso
ciation with those not of their own race. Other
white men would not follow their wise exam
ple and became degenerate like the negro. I
tell you, sir, that caste lives. You cannot erad
icate it.
I say that the man who can never become so
cially our equal—the equal of the white—I say
that man is utterly unfit ever to become our po
litical equal.
Jacobs is right. The Pilgrims fought the In
dians and enslaved a good many of them, but
they steadily refused “assimilation.’■ They also
imported more negroes than any other part of
the country, bnt the negroes perished and
dwindled away, or were re-shipped to Virginia.
The distinction of races was sedulously main
tained. Per contra, the Irish, ibs German, and
other immigrants of the Caucasian family, are,
in the course of a few generations, so readily
absorbed into the common stock, that we are
told the original Pilgrim blood will soon cease
to be recognized.
New England is a good witness in behalf of
distinction of color and race, even against her
own theories; and on the other hand, Mexico
and the Central and South American States are
illustrations of the opposite policy. No more
gallant, hardy, Intrepid and adventurous race of
men ever conquered and took possession of a
country than the Spaniards who overran Mexico,
Pern and all the Central and Sonth American
countries, and then, in process of time, “as
similated” or hybridized with the native Indian
and imported African stock, forming of the
whole, to some extent, an homogeneous popu
lation at the utter sacrifice of everything valu
able in the traits and characteristics of the
conquering race. Nothing ever can or ever win
be made out of the mongrel population so
originated and developed. The degeneracy is
due to the introduction of inferior, and savage
blood.
But, on the contrary, the admixture of the
civilized, consanguineous, Caucasian races has
ever resulted in improvement and not in de
terioration. The Norman conquest in France
and their occupation of a large part of France,
and the successive Danish, Saxon and Norman
conquests of England have both produced the
best and most advanced type of the civilized
human race.
Mr. Jacobs might well have remarked that the
very men who prate so mnch about carte in soci
ety and politics, repudiate their own dogmas in
the most ordinary interests and pursuits of life.
They are very particular about carte in their
hones, kine, sheep, dogs, and all domestic ani
mals. They will never mix inferior stock with
their blooded selections, because they know the
consequences. But many a thousand of these
praters, who would not for tho world take a black
sheep into their flock, boost, as a matter of lib
erality, high morals and genuine benevolence
and philanthropy, their willingness to incorpo
rate the African race into American society, pol
itics and blood. Indeed, we have all read
essays and speeches from these misguided fa
natics, holding out the ides that the American
Anglo-Saxon race would be improved by an ad
mixture of the “rich African blood.” That, in
deed, seems to be a favorite idea with these
Radical reconstructors.
The time has arrived when this subject is to
become something more than mere ethnological
speculation. For, if we concede that the Afri
can race in the United States are too feeble and
evanescent to make a lasting impression of any
kind upon our politics and civilization, we shall
not be half through with them before the mighty
influx of the great Mongolian race, as numerous
as the sands of the sea, will force the same
problem upon ns in a mnch more portentous and
imposing shape.
Appointment* and Disappointment*.
It is hard to get up any interest in the South
ern appointments which fill our telegraphic col
umns. The appointees are generally strangers,
and the honest reader is equally puzzled to know
why they come in and the other chaps go out.
Both are understood to be most devoted Radi
cals, and it is a mystery that Gen. Grant should
seem to take pleasure in cutting off the heads
of his friends, when, to all human appearance,
nothing can be gained by the operation, unless
it be a tittle moral discipline—to teach them to
suffer as well as to enjoy.
A correspondent, however, who claims to bo
in fall fellowship with the Radical party and to
know what is going on and what will take place,
sends us the following, which may be read by
all who feel any interest in the matter. "We know
nothing abont it; bnt fact will soon take the
placo of speculation. One would imagine if tho
new administration were ambitions of character,
popularity and acceptable service in Georgia, it
would be careful, in these appointments, to sc-
lect, if it could, men of established position—
of reputation and influence; bnt that is its own
business. We append from our Radical corre
spondent, as follows:
TO BE AND NOT TO BE.
Dr. Whitehead, of Butts, has received the ap
pointment of Assessor forthe Second District of
Georgia, vice Webster removed. Morrill, of
Americas, a Bureau Agent from Maine, ba» re
ceived the appointment of Collector of the Se
cond District of Georgia vice McBumey re
moved.
There is considerable of a row over the Ma
con Poetoffice. Swayze, backed by a few black
men, thinks his appointment is sore, while know
ing ones assert that Swayze has not the ghost of
a chance. Caldwell, of Troupe, is making a
strong effort to obtain the Macon Postoffice,
and our ex-Representative is making a strong
effort in favor of Mr. Bond. Senator Speer, of
Pike, is also in the field, with his friends ready
to back him against any odds. Capt. Barney,
of Atlanta, is another aspirant.
Fitzpatrick is also in the field. It is rumored
that Bond and Washington so far have the in
side track. All the aspirants are represented
at the seat of Government as Radicals of the
first water. Swayze is willing to bet one hun
dred' dollars to five that he gets the appoint
ment. This is a good chance to make a few
rfampa Of all the names mentioned, the man
Swayze is the most objectionable. Radicals, as
well as Democrats, would deplore his appoint
ment We do not think that he could procure
quarters in the city of Macon for the postoffice.
We are in hopes that the President and Post
master General will inquire a little in the char
acter of some of the above-named gentlemen,
before committing Government property to
their charge.
A correspondent in Thomaston informs ns
that the wheat crop of Upson is very promising.
Com is being put in ground very rapidly,
and it is thought enough will be raised to supply
the home demand. Fruit baa not been injured
to any great extent by the late cold—and every
thing is working smoothly.
The r. 8. Supreme Conrt-
The telegrams of yesterday announced some
decisions of the Supreme Court, very important
in their bearings upon the structure, equipoise
and character of the Federal Government
1. The McArdle case'from Mississippi was
dismissed for want of jurisdiction. In this de
cision the Court acknowledges the right and
power of Congress to limit and circumscribe the
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, and to deny
the citizen recourse to it for redress against the
tyranny and usurpation of Congress. The
Court affirmed its want of jurisdiction in this
case solely in respect to the action of Congress,
in effect prohibiting appeals to the Court upon
causes arising under the reconstruction acts.
If anything could aggravate the heinous
character of this decision, it is the fact that the
McArdle appeal had already been taken, and the
case was on the Supreme Court docket and had
been partly argued, when this action of Con
gress was had; and tho Court in fact, waited
for this act to be passed, in order to avoid taking
issue with the manifestly unconstitutional action
of the Government in relation to McArdle. It
was the miserable evasion in this business
which called out • the burning rebuke of Mr.
Justice Grier, which the reader will remember.
Tho decision of this case, while it robs the
citizen of his constitutional defences and makes
the Court a party to its own degradation, actually
gives an ex post facto operation to a Congress
ional statute, in defiance of the Constitution.
2. In the Texas bond case the court decides
that Texas, notwithstanding secession, continued
to be a State of the Union, and yet also decides
that Congress had the right to adopt measures
of reconstruction. It needs all the Chief Jus
tice's ingenuity to harmonize these two points.
3. In the case of Belfast vs. Bowie, on appeal
from the Supreme Court of Alabama, the court
claims marine and admiralty jurisdiction from
the sea to the heads of all navigable rivers.
Thus, while abandoning its constitutional and
exalted position as a coordinate branch of the
government, entitled to stand for the vindica
tion of the constitutional rights of the States
and citizens of States against congressional or
executive usurpation, and timidly acknowledg
ing the power of Congress to limit and abridge
its jurisdiction, the court, as if sensible of the
base surrender of its Jurt powers, attempts to
regain its dignity by an unjustifiable trespass
upon the jurisdiction of the States, and by as
serting its power where it has none at alL The
States have always held this jurisdiction over
interior waters, and it properly belongs to
them.
One may wait a long time before reading
again, in a single press dispatch, such an illus
tration of judicial servility, folly and weakness,
as we think these decisions exhibit
A Personal Explanation.
The last number of the Atlanta New Era
is engaged in a personal explanation respon
sive to the following:
Willard's Hotel, >
Washington, D. O., April 8, 1869. >
Dr. Samuel Bard. Editor and Proprietor Mete
Bra :
Sib : On the morning of the th fiinsti, I saw
in a morning paper of this city, a special tel
egram from Atlanta, giving language, said to
have appeared the previous morning in your
paper. I conld not believe the dispatch true,
and anxiously awaited the arrival of your issue
of tho 6th inst, in which it was said to have ap
peared.
I have this moment received, by to-night’s
mail, your issue of that date, and am pained to
see that the telegram was true. It therefore be
comes my duty to myself and to yon, to inform
you of my view of tho article which appeared in
the New Era of the 6th instant, headed “ Lies,
Lies, Lies,” and of my determination in the
premises.
I care nothing for your assertion that you
loathe us monsters in human shape; I care no
thing for your charge that we are incarnate dev
ils ; but when yon publish to tho world that yon
hope we may perith bp the waptide, and that the
State may never again be cursed with our pres-
ence, I cannot and tciU not stand it
You may attempt to construe it away as a
figurative expression; you may attempt to ex
plain it away; bnt with me, when a man ad
vises the taking of my life, no construction or
explanations will suffice. To tho common
reader, to the great masses of the people, it can
mean but one thing. It means that the assas
sin must strike me down upon the wayside, and
never permit me to return to my wife .and
children.
When it becomes necessary os a condition
precedent to the further preservation of my
life, for me to tamely submit to publications in
stigating my.assassination by the wayside, then
life will possess no charms for me. My nature
forbids it
Therefore, I demand of yon a dear, unquali
fied, and emphatic declaration in writing, that
in said article no allusion was made to me; or,
if allusion was made to me, then I demand a
most complete, unqualified, and absolute with
drawal of said article in so far as it alludes to me.
In doing this, I am not engaged in child's
play, bnt, upon the contrary, I am terribly in
I shall be at borne in a few days, unless, at
your instigation, I perish by the wayside, and I
Lope to find upon my arrival a compliance with
this reasonable demand. You can address me
at Atlanta through the postoffice. Should I not
find an answer to this upon my return home,
your refusal to answer will be understood as a
refusal to comply with my demand, and I will
give yon notice of my return and will wait
twenty-four hours after said notice for a reply,
as I will take no advantage of you. ’ '
Henry P. Farrow.
Mr. Farrow is evidently in a state of mental
disquietude and dissatisfaction. The New Era
complains that his construction of its language
is forced and unnatural, and avers that he was
but using the customary license of politicians
who draw figures of speech from the field of
battle to express mere political defeat and dis
comfiture ; and that ho is naturally averse to
lawlessness and assassination, and if for this he
is “to bo shot down in the streets, be it so.”
We say, in the words of Gen. Grant, “let ns
have peace.” It is the business of administra
tion men particularly to set us an example of
docility and quiet.
Macon Presbytery.—Wo are informed, says
the Albany News, that this body met at Fort
Gaines, on the 8th inst, and held a very in

and kind feelings with which the members were
