Virginia Politics.
TliijjrrtifiilVfliiMni ullirnfirlil nf*mrmiti~tT
in Richmond, last week, to decide upon a course
of action in reference to the reconstruction of
the State under the bill lately adopted by Con
gress. The Convention was largely attended
by many prominent men, and the whole ques
tion was very earnestly discussed. The first
day's meeting disclosed a wide discrepancy of
opinion, but on the following day the Conven-
tidn pretty generally harmonized on a prop
osition On substantial effect) to support the
Gubernatorial nominee of the Conservative Re
publicans, (Walker of Norfolk,) against Wells,
and bis phalanx of nlta-rads, nineteen-twentieths
of whom are said to bo negroes. * They will
also vote for the Constitution with the expurga
tions which are to be submitted to them under
the bill. The Dispatch says that, with proper
effort, they can cany the State. The election
will be ordered by Gen. Canity, some time in
July next ■ _
*’* A Locomotive Congress,
There are said to be nine or ten travelling
committees of Congress who have a roving com
mission to pursue their investigations all over
the United States and even into the British,
Spanish and Russian possessions, till next win
ter’s session. In the United States they will
travel as dead-beads, and yet be entitled to
charge milage. Their hotel bills and incident
als, pay of witnesses, attendants, etc., will alto
gether swell np a bill which it is supposed will be
unfavorable to the early liquidation of the na
tional debt, but that the committees will have a
good time generally no one doubts.
The New «'ensns anti Apportionment.
In the redistribution of Congressmen after the
census next year, the East will lose and the
West will gain a great number of representa
tives. After 1870 the West, if united, will con
trol the legislation of the country, and control
the national conventions for nominating Presi
dential candidates. The West is equitably en
titled to this superior weight now, but it cannot
reeeive the benefit of its wonderful growth sinoe
ISGOuntil the ten years are fully np, when, by
a sudden stride or leap, it will make a great ad
vance in political influence.
Tax Btoostirs out Again - . — The National
Dress Reform Association has just got through
with a convention in Washington city. Mrs.
Dr. Mary Walker preaided, and a great many of
the fcmalo medical faculty made speeches show
ing the terrible physiological, hygienic and ana
tomical result* of the present female coetume.
Rom, tobacco and pork were destroying the
vigor of the men, and fashion waa doing as
much for the women. The result is a frightful
proportion of stiU-born, rickety, malformed and
weakly children. Mrs. Dr. Walker pitched
heavily into Grant, denied that ho had refused
to receive her in abbreviated skirts, and said she
had never called upon him, bnt bad attended
Mrs. Grant’s receptions.
Wbkr a Man Mat nx Adjudged Detox.—
The Central. Georgian says that at the recent
session of iho Wilkinson Superior Court, Judge
Robinson defined what it required to be under
the influence of liquor, ao that parties might
make no mistake. Said he : “it is not neces
sary that a man should be wallowing in a ditch,
or bumping his bead against your posts, that
you may know him to be drunk, but whenever
he begins to tell the same thing over twice,
then he’s drunk!”
Tho Judge is a Solomon. Memory is the test
of mental self-possession— the touchstone of
lunacy as well ss of drunkenness. The great
poet says
—“Bring me to the test,
And I the matter will re-word.
Which madness would but gambol at”
Pluck.—Near Russellville, in Monroe county,
(says the Rural Southerner,) resides a man
named Harvall, who lost a leg on a Virginia bat-
tle field in tho late war. A few days since we
were riding past his farm in company with a
friend. “Look,” said my companion, “be is a
man, isn’t he?”
Mr. Harvall was ploughing—opening cotton
ridges—and stepped as cheerfully, if not as
easily, with his wooden leg, as though it was a
natural limb.
“Isn't he a man?” Aye, his heroism
lived beyond tho battle field: and if the little
boys who planted the seed for him, while he
ploughed, wi re his nous, they have as much
right to be proud of him as when he bared bis
bosom in his country’s battles.
Mobs Mexic an Tebbuoby.—Is is said that a
proposition has been received in Washington
from Mexico to cede, for three million dollars,
the States of Sonora and Sinaloa on the extreme
part of the Gulf of California, and the proposi
tion comes in the form of a protocol for a treaty.
It has been negotiated principally by Senor
Romero, the Secretary of the Treasury of
Mexico, and former Mexican Minister to Wash
ington, and is made with the view of filling the
coffers of the depleted Mexican Treasury. -
'As Wk Scyposed.—Tho representatives of
the British government at Washington deny
the stories that England intends to recognize
the Cuban insurgents, and say they were got up
in the interests of filibusterism and to disturb
international harmony.
Snrrmv Baptist Convention.—The Savan
nah Republican, of Sunday, announces the
presence in that city of several delegates to the
Southern Baptist Convention, which meets next
Thursday in Maoon. Dr. Fuller, of Baltimore,
was expected to preach in Savannah Sunday
evening.
Mobile and Gieabd liumnn —The Colum
bus Sun says the Mobile and Girard Railroad
carries more passengers and freight, except cot
ton, from Columbus, than all the other roads
put together. It also brings more trade to the
city than all the rest. By next fall trains will
be run to Troy. . V" JT. Yf jflf G T~T -
Shabp. The three Radical Congressmen
elected in Connecticut a few days since, accord
ing to the Richmond Dispatch, were actually ad
mitted to seats in the extra session of Congress
before the official canvass of the vote and, of
course, without certificates.
We had Tery heavy rains and a severe
blow last Saturday night, which may have
proved injurous to the wheat crop.
How Absolute Governments are
Hade.
The sensation produced by the publication of
the “Imperialist” can hardly be due to any en
lightened apprehension of its success in concil
iating the popular mind to snch a change. The
whole argument for an empire is, in fact, based
upon premises which must be fatal to it, as a
scheme of popular election. The Empire is
urged because the people are turbulent, wilful,
impatient of the restraints of law—of the accum
ulations of capital and the exactions of the na
tional creditors. They are, therefore, asked to
substitute for their own will that of an impera-
tor—who shall compel them to do what they are
impatient of doing and likely hereafter to refuse
altogether to do.
A people so intolerant of civil distinctions as
to sanction a war upon Nature herself in the at
tempt to obliterate and trample into dost “the
distinction on account of color,” are approach
ed with the proposition to found their whole
government upon civil distinctions, and to erect
upon the plain of “universal freedom and
equality” a grand political pyramid of which
the tolling masses shall form the base—the
“ mudsills”—and tho grand autocrat the cope-
stone, while between them, in successive courses,
rising higher and higher, shall be a legion of
different orders of privileged classes, each
higher than the course below, and tieing and
cementing the vast fabric together by the co
hesion of personal and class interest, until all
concentrate in the grand monarch at the top, as
the embodiment of all authority, power find
emolument.
This bare statement of the case makes it dear
enough that with the great mass of the people
an advocate of .imperialism must be odious.—
Public creditors and capitalists, and the few who
count upon taking an exceptional benefit from
such a revolution, such as place-holders, nobili
ty and court satellites—might listen with pleas
ure to the discourse of an imperial organ; but
to tho people who are asked to surrender their
civil rights and privileges in order to arm a
master with the grand aggregate of powdx, tho
proposition must appear equally unwelcome and
absurd. |
The French Empire, it is true, claims to have
been bom of the people; but, in troth, it was
established by violence. It is alleged a plebe-
scito endorsed it; but that vote was simply a
tribute to the popularity of the Bonapartes and to
the traditional glory of France under that dynasty
and it was east by a people who bad formed no
attachment to republican freedom, and saw no
glory or respectability in a government of that
character. The cases are radically diverse and
antagonistic. AU American glory is republican,
and aU our shame, discord, disorder and licen
tiousness consist in abandoning the plain track
of Constitutional self-government marked out
by onr fathers of hallowed name and memory.
The process by uj|ich Americans will (if ever)
see their grand legacy of personal, individual
power and influence in the common government
wrested from them in order to be consolidated
into the hands of a dictator or emperor, must
I nouttarUg be one of violence. A sovereign
people will not relinquish power any mote will
ingly than a sovereign monarch. True, anarchy
may come in the fierce conflict of those powers,
and then a minority might be willing to barter
them away for peace and protection. But stiff
there must bo violence to compel universal as
sent.
Any scheme to bring about such a revolution
[through the polls and by “moral suasion” would
I be too absurd to mislead intelligent men. Strong
governments ate the spoi^^nd plunder of the
people, and they must l^^oUected and com
posed by force. Such is the universal verdict
of history. " *
Tho theoretical imperialists of to-day proba-
bly represent a growing class of intelligent
I men, holding heavy pecuniary stakes in the pub
lic order, who are deeply alive to the fact that
the country is drifting very fast down the
stream of demoralization, corruption and ruin,
and they see in a debased suffrage no anchor to
arrest her course. These men may persuade
themselves that they can save confusion, blood
shed and loss of property by sliding naturally
and tranquilly into monarchy,but it ia sheer de
lusion. It is a moral and political impossibility.
Tho peace of on autocracy in America will
[come after a prologue of disorder, anarchy and
bloodshed. The cheapest, shortest and best road
to peace is a return to the Constitution, and we
m ust return or drink the cup of misery and ruin.
Borne people think the oonntry can go on in this
way, from bod to worse, forever, and they raise
crops and live in peace, and let tho politicians
fight it out among themselves. If that could be
done, we should care nothing about politics. All
the most of us ask or expect is liberty to live in
peace and earn our subsistence. But if affairs
do not mend, this liberty must soon cease and the
whole continent be involved in disorder and vio
lence. Years before the war, many honest peo
ple thought they could live out their days upon
their farms and snap their fingers at the politi
cians. Bot before they knew it, tho politicians
had them in battle array and they could not help
themselves.
HJustsoftew; the people are shrugging their
shoulders in contempt at the floods of corrup
tion, venality, wickedness, lawlessness and folly
with which tho politicians are submerging the
country, not knowing that the result must inev
itably be universal anarchy and ruin unless the
work of demoralization is arrested. The Yan
kee imperialists think they can arrest it through
an autocrat—an absolutist—a dictator ; but the
dictator is on the other side of the gulfofreeolu-
tion ! We want to stop the mischief before we
get to the gulf, and the only chance is a return
to the Constitution. It is a doubtful chance,
we know, bnt it is the only one.
Peoposed Reunion op the Eighth Geoegia
Regiment.—It has been proposed that the sur
vivors of the “oldEighth Georgia’’ regiment
have a social reunion on the 31st next July, at
some central locality. What say the Atlanta
Grays, the Macon Guards, theOglethorpe Light
Infantry, and the other companies. The com
panies from Floyd are in favor of it—Rome
| Courier.
Speaking without authority, we have uo hesi
tation in expressing tho opinion that the huge
and honorable remnant of that historical regi
ment that is to be found on the coast, will most
joyfully co-operate with their former comrades-
in-arms to get up the proposed reunion. It
would be a most pleasant affair, and the memo
ries of. the regiment are too glorious not to be
preserved by a permanent association and fre
quent reunions.
So says the Savannah Republican — and,
speaking in the same way, the Macon Telzgbaph
feels quite sure the reunion would be exceed
ingly satisfactory to that portion of the regi
ment located in this vicinity.
I The Savannah, Seed away and Seaboard Rail-
bo ad is to be pushed through without delay. If
we understand the scheme it will transfer the
freighting business of Savannah down to Tybee
and stop alldrayage of through freight.—Macon
Telegraph. .
It happens, though, that our' - Macon brother
does not “understand the scheme.” The road
referred to does not run in the direction of Ty-
bee, which is due east from the city, - but due
south on the main land to Ski da way Island, and
thence to Green Island, at which point it may
connect with the Florida boats, but none other.
—Sacannah Republican.
Information accepted- Our Savannah broth
er will hardly fail to comprehend the necessity
of some scheme to flank that bluff. * i
