SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL 24. 1869.
“Official Dlkhonnly no Bar to Pro-
f motion in Office.
Under this head the New York Times (Re
publican; illustrates the utter disregard of prin
ciple and integrity displayed in the appointment
of James M. Ashley to be Governor of Uoctana.
The Times declares that the records of the House
of Representatives contain ample evidence un
der Ashley's confession, of his corruption and
venality, and that eight years ago he had sought
for one Case a Surveyor’s appointment for the
Territories npon a joint speculation in lands and
town lots—and yet in spite of such facts as these,
Ashley is nominated and confirmed. Where are
-Grant's pledges to make honest appointments,
and where is the integrity of the Senate ?
The Indians—a Sew Movement.
A Washington dispatch of the 21st says:
Four Quakers left here to-day for the plains,
to look into the condition of the Indians and
take measures to effect a peace this summer.
The movement is looked upon here with a good
deal of amusement.
The administration contemplates the experi
ment of entrusting the execution of the Indian
treaties and the general management of Indian
affairs in the hsnds of the peaceful followers of
William Penn—“not to put too fine s point
upon it"—the Quakers.
The fact is, neither the politicians nor the
soldiers can be trusted. The politicians swindle
the Indians at every turn—famish bad rations—
mean blankets and discount their annuities at the
rate of fifty per cent, or more. Furthermore,
if they see a chance to make any thing by it,
there is little donbt they often foment broils and
troubles between the tribes in their own interest
The soldiers are too violent and sometimes pro-
voice hostilities.
■ The Quakers, on the other hand, push their
peace doctrines to the extreme of non-resistsnee
and are traditionally honest There is no case
in s™»vic«n history of trouble between the
Col. Tlft’H .IddreMN.
We got Cot Tift’s address in the Albany News,
of last night too late to read it, before placing it Quakers and Indians,
in the hands of the printer. We have no doubt, i But the Quakers of the olden time dealt with
however, that the Colonels’ advice is judicious I aboriginees, pure and unsophisticated. They
had learned by sad experience none of the crimes
and deceits of the palefaces. They hadileither
been cheated, deceived, betrayed nor debauched
by the whites, and were disposed to implicit re
liance on the latter, as men of a superior race.
The Quakers of to-day, howeTer, will stand
at manifest disadvantage as compared with those
of the olden time. They will have to do with
the savages who have been, tangbt to get drunk
and who have learned by experience that whites
are frequently unscrupulous, treacherous, self
ish and cruet All this rubbish of hostility, and
prejudice must be cleared away before our mod
em Quaker can begin a foundation for the su
perstructure of moral influence, founded on un
doubting faith. The movement is in a right di
rection but it mnst be slow in progress.
We beg leave to suggest too, that if Grant
will select his representatives in the unrecon
structed South from the same class of men,
matters may be improved here. Thero is no
telling what might be the result, if the rebels,
so-called, should see the authority of the gov
ernment represented by men of integrity and
virtue. The moral effect of so strange a spec
tacle it would be difficult to overrate.
Bands is South Casouxa.—A Columbia cor
respondent of the New York Tribune says:
“ Lands vary in price, and the prices range from
fifty cent* to $15; that is, common and good
lands. A gentleman in Horry county offers
16,000 acres at prices making seventy-five cents
the average. This is poor, land however. About
Aiken, famed for its health, there are hundreds
* of acres, in lots of various sizes, offered now for
• ah st $2 per acre; far more at $3; and from
these figures the prices range hardly even as
high as $10 for good lands. In Oconee (Pickens)
county, the price of mountain lands is from $3
to $ 10, and I have seen four hundred bushels of
potatoes, and a crop of beans besides, grown on
one acre. The prices of land, howover, are
thirty per cent, higher than they were a year
ago, and are still looking up."
Tins Salt Lake Reporter says: “Wo never
could understand why Brigham Young should
take the eagle for an emblem. That royal bird is
a strict monogamist; he has one mate and is
noted for his faithfulness to her, defending her
with his life. Now, if Brigham had chosen the
rooster we could see the point at once. We
venture to suggest the change oven now.
Spain and ths United States.—The Herald’s
special says that the Spanish Minister called on
Secretary Fish on Thursday last and demanded
that a proclamation against fllUbusteriDg be is
sued. The Secretary promptly declined, saying
that as the insurgent* had a provisional govern
ment, he saw no reason from hindering persons
from taking np arms in their service. The
Spanish Minister some days since promised full
reparation for tha insults to our'flag by the
Spaniard* in Cnba. On Thursday last he in
formed Secretary Fish that he had not heard
from his Government on the subject, whep the
Secretary informed him that war would ensue
if an answer was not forthcoming soon.
May-Dat Fbolio.—The city of Atlanta is go
ing on a May-Day frolic to Cartenvilla on invi
tation of the latter. The invitation was signed
by a very large number of the citizens of Carters-
villo and addressed by name to nearly a hundred
of the citizens of Atlanta. Colonel .1. Watt liar- . «. -

Horrible! Horrible! ,,
Our blood “/rises” over the sanguinary atti
tude of tho North Carolina-carpet-bag-Senator-
from-Massachusetis-Abbott, in respect to the
pbygically diminutive Senator from the physi
cally diminutive State of Rhode Island. What
do all these horrible threats mean? We tremble
at the thought! they can mean nothing less than
may hereafter be set forth in the burning el
oquence of the indictment thathe, the said Ab-
bott, then and there with malice, aforethought,
and not having the fear of God before bis eyes,
did, with a certain stick in his right hand hold
ing of the just value of two cents, npon the body
of him the said Sprague, beat and strike, and
divers blows did inflict to the injury of him tho
said Sprague, etc., and so on.
Clearly, all these terrible threats can mean
nothing leas than some such sanguinary catas
trophe, and in tho bloody record of blows Ab
bott intends to prove that he is no puppy as
charged by Sprague, but a real human, who can
beat and strike; or at least as big a dog as Nye
look an.
White and Colored.—The last two days' ope
rations the Fulton Superior Court convicted five
negroes and one white of stealing in some of the
various shapes.
A Bbooeltn paper says that Senator Fenton
intends to sue the Commercial Advertiser and
Evening Post for libel, laying tho damages at
half a million. The suit grows out of the charge
of accepting bribes to npprove bills.
The proposed bridge over East river at
New York is estimated to coat $7,000,000, and
• to require six years for its construction. It will
be a mile in length. ■'« vnuu *»“‘ 1 • .
The valuation of real estate in Rome, Ga.,
this year amounts to $1,152,800, an increase of
$256,625 over last year. Contracts for the erec
tion of new buildings have been let ont for
about $100,000. This is a gratifying evidence
of the prosperity of the Romans.
St. Louis has 200,00 inhabitants. The in
crease last year was 3,000 houses and 30,000 per
sons. It is estimated that 500 persons per day
come to the State of Missouri to find homes.
Kansas City, in tho western part of the State,
which was, a few years ago, but a village, has
now 30,000 inhabitant*. .
Murder or a. White Box by a Keobo Box.—A
Quitman correspondent of the Savannah News,
aays: On last Sabbath (18th) a little boy,-aged
about ten years, and son of Hr. Alexander
Humphreys, of this (Brooks) county, went fish
ing with a negro boy about fifteen years of age.
During the day the negro killed the white boy
and ran off. He was apprehended and con
fessed the deed.

We call upon the carpet-baggers and Radicals
in tho Senate to abate their fury. This is not
the pattern of civility and good behaviour they
were to set us.
A Pleasure Tbit.— The Pacific steamship
America will sail between the 20th of May and
1st of June, on a trip round the world, and will
return to New York by the middle of November.
The charge for the entire passage will be $1230,
including the privilege to live on board while in
port.
Contention or THE Protestant Episcopal
Church.—The Forty-seventh Annual Convention
of the Protestant Episcopal Church in tho Diocese
of Georgia will meet in St. Paul's Church, in
Augusta, on Wednesday, May 6th, 1869.
Pence in Georgia.
Liberty of the press and speech is not liberty
to abuse, insult, slander and libel, and inflame
the passions of the ignorant to acts of violence,
incendiarism, and murder. But certainly the
publication of a paper plainly devoted to these
objects for nearly a year in Macon—not only
without popular molestation, bnt without any
danger of it, is itself the highest evidence of
forbearance and self-control npon the part of
our people and of a determination to avoid dis
turbance at all hazards. i(b
Grant says there must be liberty of speech in
tho South—but here is liberty to perpetrate the
foulest crimes against the publio peace and
safety, and the existence and happiness of the
colored race, by a paper claiming to be Grant’s
organ, and yet weekly vomiting falsehood, ter
rorism and foul counsels to the blacks, to born,
assassinate and murder in deadly revenge for
falsely alleged crimes. -
This organ and advocate of public mischief,
actually, in the face of the evidence of a black
murderer arrested with the plunder of the vio-
tim in his possession, has the impudence still to
charge that Ayer was a victim to white political
assassination, and invoke the blacks to acts of
retaliatory vengeance. Is it possible that the
blacks themselves can longer tolerate such
remorseless villainy?
Nominations bt the President.—The follow
ing is a classified list of the nominations sent to
th»Senato by President Grant since the begin
ning of his administration. It is said that not
more than one-half of the officers in the gift of
the President have yet been filled:
Last of the Joe Brown Pike*.
Chronicle »nd Sentinel gives an account
of a Bale of condemned property at the United
State Arsenal, Augusta, last Wednesday:
These sales comprised axles, cannon spikes,
sward bayonet, sabres, carbines,
ness, cartridge bags, horse-shoes, saddle-trees,
gunboat plates, 360,000 lbs. Confederate gun
powder, many tons of iron scraps, fire and cast,
Bnt the most remarkable - of all the articles
sold was -- - — i
1,000 JOE BBOWN PIKES,
gotten up expressly to defend the last ditch of
State Bights under his Excellency B own eye and
under models designed under his immediate su
pervision. These Georgia Pikes are of three
model*. The original model is after the fashion
of the Roman dagger, placed upon a stout hick
ory staff, some seven feet long, properly polish
ed and ferruled. The second modal was a com
bination of the Roman dagger and the fanner’s
brier hook—the design being in case the thrust
of the dagger is parried, a backwark pull of the
pikeman would decapitate the infantry soldier
or .bisect a resisting cavalryman. The third
model—mark the progress of invention—was a
double-barrel spring-acting dagger, which shot
out from between two oval sections of hickory,
npon coming in contact with an unfortunate
enemy. These terrible articles of warfare were
bought by Mr. Morrison, of South Carolina.
Rumor has it they are intended to supply .the
wants of the loyal Governor, tor supplying with
thft most approved arms his South Carolina mili
tia which is now being organized. We cannot
say that this rumor is truo»or false by reason of
the extreme reticence of the purchaser.
> Canada Annexation.
The Radical organs are striving hard to kindle
on excitement npon the acquisition of Canada,
and are resorting to all known practices and arts
to accomplish this object. One of these is to
send Bohemians into Canada to transmit tele
grams on the subject. One of them, in the em
ployment of the Tribune, telegraphs as follows
from Montreal:
The desire of the people of the new dominion
to cut loose from their dependence upon the
mother country has received a powerful impetus
from one or two great events. Whatever course
may finally be adopted, there can be little doubt
that a great political change of some sort is not
far distant.
Several private meetings of influential persons
have recently been held here for the purpose of
considering the great question of a change in the
form of government, and the general dissatisfac
tion with the present state of things is more
openly expressed.
The newspapers am at last beginning to meet
the question face to face, and are giving utter
ance to the sentiment which has lorn; been
widely dispersed among the people, although
but few have had the courage to express it pub
licly. There is a party in favor Of independence,
bnt a larger party, I believe are in favor of an
nexation to the United States, and will soon
make itself prominent. The acquisition of the
Hndsoo Bay Territory has given additional force
to the arguments of the annexationists. It is
felt that such a magnificent domain as the new
domain now promises to be, ought no longer to
be dwarfed and kept down by dependence on a
trans-Atlantic Government.
The belief that Great Britain shall surrender
her North American possessions as a met off
against the Alabama claims, has created a deep
sensation in certain circles. Not a term regard
it with decided favor.
Senator Snmner’s speech has been copied in
fall By the English and French journals, and it
is of course the tapis of mnch discussion.
Mabkiaoe Extbaoedixabt.—In consequence of
the unreconstructed state of things in this part
of Virginia, last week license to marry conld not
be obtained, and a very respectable couple, who
wished to have the knot tied, hod to resort to
reconstructed Tennessee for that purpose. Ac
cordingly, on Thursday of last week, Mr. James
Graham and Miss Sallie Hickok, accompanied
by a large party of young friends, paraded on
horseback, and moved down to Tennessee in
military style. They were met near the line by
the Rev. J. R. King and his staff, and immedi
ately formed a solid column, the bride and groom
and their attendants in front, when the happy
couple were made one. When tho ceremony
was over they countermarched to the rear and
returned to Virginia without alighting.—Lynch

Too Much.
The Western Press telegrams of the 22d,
—_oi ., jasftKAo itoniw
says:
To^ay a party of gentlemen who intend to
leave here to-morrow for the purpose of visiting
the South, had an interview, with the President.
The party consists of General Thomas L. Kane,
ex-Govemor Ward, of New Jersey, J arid Mr.
Conger, his Secretary, Generals Ledna and Van
Wick, of New Nork, Colonel J. W. Forney, Wm.
Prescott Smith and others. Colonel Forney
stated that they had deemed it proper to call on
him previous to their departure for the South;
their visit was purely a disinterested one, and
entirely devoid of politites; to do what they could
to promote good feeling between the two sec
tions, and assist the development of the Sonth.
The President replied that he was very happy
to hear that they intended to make the trip; and
hoped it would be productive of tho best results.
Nothing would do more to properly reconstruct
the South than white loyal emigration, and ho
had no doubt northern capital and northern men
would readily avail themselves of the superior
inducements offered, so soon as they could be
assured of protection and cordial welcome.
We hope Mr. Fomey will permit ns to sug
gest that he is making too mnch fuss about a
trip South. It can be accomplished very com
fortably in a week—at small expense, and'with
so little danger as to call for no extra premium
to President Grant yesterday in behalf of the ap
pointment of an Israelite as United States Con
sul in Palestine, mentioned in our Washington
letter. The Rabbi
“Mr. President: Permit me to giTe my thanks
to the Almighty, whose mercy brought me here
to behold the face of the chosen by the millions
of this great nation. BleRsed be the Lord who
imparteth from TTis wisdom and from His honor
to a ranrtftl l X come to your Excellency from
the East, where the glory of your deeds of valor,
your candor and your justice have penetrated,
to interest yon in the name of God, to listen to
the prayers of your humble servant, standing
before yon to advocate the cause of his op-
pc^nd brethren in the Holy Land. The Israel
ites in Palestine possess no political or civil
rights whatever, and deprived of protection by
the representatives of the civilized nations which
tho Christians enjoy, are exposed to violence
and arbitrary rule. The only shelter the Israel
ites occasionally find is in the courts of the dif
ferent European consulates, where one of their
co-religionists is employed either as interpreter
or deputy consul, who conveys their grievances
to the proper channel.
This free republic alone, whose banner covers
the oppressed, whose foundation is based on
equality, toleration and liberty of conscience,
hag • no Israelite employed near the Consul at
Jerusalem. I do pray, therefore, your Excel
lency to turn your attention to
condition of my brethren in the Orient, that the
principles of this Government may be truly em
bodied in its representative abroad: and I do
further pray that your Excellency may show me
that mark of favor which would enable my
brethren in the Holy Land, in the hour of need,
to seek refuge under the stall and Stlfoes, ttat
this free country and its exalted chief should be
blessed on the sacred spot of our common an-
castors.
President Grant replied briefly, but courte-
ously, promising to examine into the matter re-
ferred to, -and do what ho could to remedy any
grievances which existed. •
Before he left Rabbi Sneersohn said: “ Be
fore I part from you, Mr. President, allow me
to offer my fervent prayer from the depth of
my heart: Almighty God, whose dominion is an
.«ii.i|ilnjtln,aUi, may Ha bless and (jraoerv*. I
guard and assist your Excellency and your fami
ly. May the Supreme King of kings grant you
long life, and inspire yon with benevolence and
friendship towards all mankind.’’ ' ■

Referring to the Alabama and Chattanooga
Railroad, the Livingston Journal says:
The Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad will
soon he completed to Livingston, and it will not
be long before the entire road will be finished
from Meridian to Chattanooga. Capital and
energy will soon “put it through.” From a brief
conversation with Mr. Anderson, the company’s
engineer, on Wednesday, we learn that satisfac
tory progress is being made on our railroad.
There is now ajjonsiderable quantity of iron at
York, and there are 160 hands employed on
work between Livingston and that place. The
bridges between York and Yellow Creek are all
framed, and the crossing ready to receive them.
Workingmen will begin framing the bridge for
this place during the coming week.
The Chicago Times says : “The confirmation
of Howard, an eX-Congressman from Michigan,
as minister to China, vice Mr.. J. Ross Browne,
famishes another case of sacrificing the nation’s
best interests for the accommodation of Mr.
Grant's favorites. Mr. Browne is a gentleman
of intellect, culture, and extensive knowledge of
the world, against whom, as a diplomat, there
is found no ground of complaint. Mr. Howard,
on the other hand, is a mere pot-house politician,
with nearly as mnch knowledge of diplomacy as
a Digger Indian has of the Talmud.”
on his life policy. It was quite unneccessaiy,
therefore,' to notify the President—or have
I prayers offered in the churches—or nail a horse
shoe to the stable door, or hang up any votive
offering at the altar. Let him come along and
a murrain on him for a fussy old’humbug.
' .* Hancock County.
A travelling correspondent of the Chronicle
ft Sentinel writes: " y> K
Hancock county, I have no doubt, is composed
of some of the most successful and thrifty farm
ers in the State of Georgia. There are many
Dicksons whose names have never gone before
the public, who are not far behind if not equal
to him, in their achievements, though I believe
they all yield the palm to our friend David,
which he deserves. There is more of scientific,
systematic, and thorough development of the
farming interest every way than is common in
this country. Men of intelligence and moral
worth instead of devoting themselves to manu
facture,commerce and the various pursuits of the
busines of the world, have adopted that more
honorable than all others, the cultivation of the
soil. Judge Harris, Colonel -Turner and many
others, are among this number.
By the way, the man that wanted to go where
manual labor was honorable might move to Han
cock. My frienq, In. qp that there
was not a single loafer in the'town of Sparta,
and throughout tho county the people were
faithfully at work. This accounts for the peace
and good order that prevails. Even the ladies
have thrown off their jewels, diamond trinkets
and costly attire and gone to work. The cook-
kitchen and the table, the bed-room end the
parlor, all exhibit their superior taste and re
finement. What a noble example! What a trib
ute to the memory of their chivalrous dead, and
how worthy the objects for which the great sac
rifice was made. With such a consecration of
virtue, intelligence and energy, what may we
promise the fnture ? While the curse of God
is upon the slothful and sluggish, his blessing
will rest upon the honest laborers who make
their land bloom and blossom as the rose.
Newnan Spring.—The Nownan’s People’s
Defender says:
“Frequent notices of this valuable spring may
cause some who are not aware of its real merits,
its wonderful remedial powers, to think that we
are playing a game of ‘brag.’ This is not really
our object. We wish the people who are afflict
ed with disease to experience its benefits and
therefore write often. Dr. Ed. Smith, of this
place, has permitted us to see an order for sev
eral dozen bottles of this water. Where do yon
suppose the order came from ? Not from Atlan
ta nor from LaGrange, for both of these places
seem satisfied with their own waters. That or
der came from the City of New York.” -
A Bridgeport child looking ont of the win
dow Tuesday morning and seeing a well-dressed
man passing along, exclaimed: “ Mamma, see
how nicely that man looks. I guess God has .just
made him.”
Book-keeping taught in one lesson—don’t
