THE CONSTITUTION.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FEBRUARY 8.
C3T Gov. IVarmoutb, or Louisiana, states
'jiat be has been offered tnUO each to ap
prove two bills passed by the Legislature.
— ■■
ty Ex Governor Allen Trimble, of
Ohio, died last week, 87 years old. Fora
quarter of a century he had completely
withdrawn himself from public life.
..... ... ■ ■■ ■
ty Wright, the negro elected as Asso
ciate Judge of the Supreme Court of South
Carolina, resigns his seat as State Senator
to accept the Judgeship.
ty Secretary Boutwell denies that be
has ever given the slightest Intimation to
the Wall Street brokers about proposed
movements In gold by tho government.
ty The disorders in Tennessee seem to
still continue. The Radicals having lost
the victory in the late contest are now in
augurating Ku-KIuxi«m on a large scale.
Governor Senter basasked from the Legis
lature special power to stop the lawlessm
A Plump Falsehood.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press,one of Forney’s"my
two papers, both dailies,” contains the fol
lowing unmitigated falsehood about the
charges against Gov. Bullock:
It Is now generally conceded by the Dem
ocrats that their object in makiDg these
charges having failed, the falsity of the
charges It admitted.
Xo such concession has been made, while
the charges are believed and urged by Re
publicans, a fact that removes them above
partisanship.
Let the Governor hold in a while,
shall have his Committee.
Hoar Rejected.
The following statement, showing the
decisive rejection by the Senate of Mr.
Hoar's nomination to the Supreme Bench,
shows thst the Senate has deliberately and
boldly flung down the gauntlet to
President Grant. That functionary is not
apt to forget it. If he ever gets the power,
we may look for open warfare between
him and the Senate.
Now, let us see if the Southern Republi-
cans have any showing with this adminis
tration; or whether Northern “loilty” is
to monopolize all the flesh-pots:
The nomination of Attorney-General
Hoar for the vacancy on the Supreme
Court bench, occasioned by the death of
Just-cc Wayne. wa3 taken tip in Executive
session of the Senate, this evening, and he
was rejected by nine majority. The vote
stood, for conllnnition. 24: against con
firmation, 33. All of the New England
Senators present voted in the affirmative,
except Edmunds, of Vermont. All of the
Southern Senators, except Warner, of Ala
bama, and Gilbert, of Florida, voted no.
Mr. Williams, of Oregon, was the only
Senator from the Pacific coast who voted
aye. Both New York Senators voted no;
also, all the Democrats. Morton was not
present, but would have voted aye. Sher
man was. also, not present. It is definitely
known that Mr. Hoar’s present intention
is to remain in the Cabinet.

Mtssissim.—The House has passed idea
ticsliy the same bill admitting Mississippi
as Virginia. An attempt was made to ad
mit her without condition, but failed. Mr.
Brooks alluded to the fact that a General
of the army in command of the State bad
used his troops to have himself elected
Senator.
Brigham Young in Danger.
Mr. Cullom, from the Committee on Ter
ritories, has reported a bill that makes in
competent as jurors, all polygapsists: that

punishable by a 810,000 fine or five years
in the penitentiary; forbids polygamists

to Mrs Revels by George T. Downing, the

Good for Sumner and Tipton, but bad for
Lady Revels and her sponsor, the black
oyeterman.
According to ail accounts Sumner has not
hitherto been adequate to feminine revels.
Mrs. Sumner, way off in Europe, will now
learn that black fanaticism is stronger
than the white love with the emasculated
Puritan.
Tho ICcign of Crime.
Nothing in the history of Christian cities
—the worst capitals In tho worst ages of
the past—can equal or approach tho dread-
fill prevalence of crime in tills metropoli-
tan smamhle. Scarcely a day passes with
out its frightful story. -Already in the
one month of this year we have chroneied
a murder or attempted murder for every
day in the month, and not one of these
crimes hut seems inspired by a spirit of
fiendish savagery equal to the worst act
men or devils could conceive.—[X. Y. Her
at d. 3d.
The mild neighborhood of the above se
rene condition of tilings would be a God
send to Governor Bullock and his faction
in Georgia. Poor Adkins’ ghost has the
whole duty to perform, unless the Exccu
tive will tske Tweedy’s and Blodgett's riots
for Democratic Ku-Klnxism.
Georgia Affairs.
Our telegraphic dispatches state that on
to-morrow tiie Conservative Republican
Committee will have a hearing before the
henate Judiciary Committee on Georgia af
fairs. It appears that Gov- Bullock, Con
ley. Tweedy, Clift, Parrott, Gibson, narrai,
Rice and others, called upon President
Grant, and satisfied him that it was right
to act aside the election or Messrs. Hill and
Miller.
So confident arc the revolutionists of
success, that rumors were current yester
day afternoon that Gov. Bullock had tele
graphed that ail was well; that there would
an election for State House officers as well
Senators; Blodgett and Akerman are to be
the Senators; that the office of Surveyor
General of the State must be re-established
and a negro elected to fill it.
Radicalism North and Sonth.
The other day the Bullock Radicals in
the Georgia Legislature refused to vote for
a resolution for a general amnesty in Geor
gia.
The New York Times, a Northern Radi
cal paper, in speaking of Mississippi and
Texas, thus cauterizes the proscriptivo bit
terness of its Southern brothers, who are
more venomous to their own section than
the distant stranger:
This is heavy on Brigham Young the
much married. The idea of Congress
docking down liis wives is a furious out
rage on the old fellow’s rights. The only
chance we see for him is to invite Congress
to Utah, and buy the concern up with his
marital superabundance, or else migrate
a free country.
If he can only stave off action for
while, however, and let Frothingbam
and Beecher have time to inoculate
the country with their McFarland-Rich
ardson notions, we think the whole coun
try will embrace Mormonism
Seriously, we think this timely. The
existence of polygamy in this civilized
land and age, under the very eyes of our
government, iso disgrace.to our civiliza
tion.
One Object of tlio Reconstruction.
When tho whole purpose and plan of the
present reconstruction, with all its recent
workings, are laid bare—if that day ever
comes—the exposure will be revolting be
yond measure.
The faction of Governor Bullock lias an
avowed organ now, that defends evbry act
of the faction. Glossing over the bideous-
ness of purpose in a meaningless frotli-ol
words, it occasionally drops an Intimation,
that rightly understood, shows the plot of
its masters.
It uses, in one article, these words: “It
is apparent that the members of our State
Legislature have just entered upon the
terms for which they were severally elect
ed.”
This simply means that the present Gu
bernatorial term now begins, and that thus
two years more of power are to be tricked
out of the people of Georgia. This is the
Radical substitute for an election by the
people. Despairing of return to office by
the suffrage of free and virtuous citizens,
at liberty to express their choice, this revo
lutionary scheme was tried to prolong tho
lease of rule. This is the pith of the per
tinacity with which a sovereign State lias
been claimed to be a provisional depend
ency.
The very men that should -have striven
heroically for the preservation of the com
monwealth from degradation have most
ignominiously sought her disgrace and
ruin.
The Laborer Gets His Hire.
The dispatches yesterday, told us that
Dr. Bard, late editor of the New Era, had
been appointed Governor of Idaho Terri
tory.
The Doctor certainly clung to the admin
istration with unvarying fidelity, and well
won his reward. Grant had no more de
voted, faithful servant than him. Through
good and ill repute, amid howling odium
and rattling obloquy, the Doctor swung on

single blow. Instead of peddling out par
dons piecemeal any longer. let all political
disabilities be struck off nt once, so that the
work of reconstruction may be sound and
complete. If the Forty-first Congress
would do this, it would make its present
srssion forever memorable in the history of

Editorial Correspondence.
Macon, Gi, February 7,1870.
Dear Constitution: Brown's Hotel, not
withstanding its late and large enlarge
ment, keeps full. This shows two things:
the value of merit, and the growing business
of the day. Let Atlanta take the lesson.
Her hotel room is by no means large
enough. Nothing wonld be of more ad
vantage to our enterprising city than a
large, floe hotel. Those we have I do not
mean to disparage, but no one can donbt
that we do need more of them. Xo invest
ment will pay better. The city Is outstrip
ping its hotels at an inconceivable rate. I
think that Atlanta would support remu
neratively as fine and mammoth a public
house as the Galt in Louisville, or the Max
well in Nashville.
1 can also safely predict that uniess
something b done, Atlanta will fail to en
tertain tbc crowd at'the Fair this year.
Macon groaned nnder the harden. I see
no prospect for Atlanta doing better with
out preparation, and very extensive prep
aration at that.
THE LATE OUTRAGE.
The late attempted outrage by a negro
upon the wife of a distinguished divine
has occasioned much comment. Incorrect
versions of the affair got into the distant
papers, and bad to be contradicted; the
Telegraph and Messenger sensibly urges
that it is impolitic to keep such matters
ont of the borne print. It is better to give
the true facts, omitting names in cases like
this. The report# that travel are exagger
ated, and the real details must get out, if
no other way in correction of tbc false ru
mors. The account given in the Consti
tution was substantially correct. The ne-
government, for whose peccadilloes and
short-comings he had no treasonable eye;
and whose mighty barrel of patronage
might some day.be tapped by the persever
ing adorer
Well, we are glad that our old Republi
can confrere has got a slice. He labored
hard for it, in season and ont, night and
day. sleeping and waking. He was a good
fellow out of his politics; pleasant, good-
natured, genial, companionable. He could
take a harder bit, professionally, and smile
more sweetly, about it privately, than any
editor we ever met. He had learned the
very essence of the art of paragraphing,
and kept up a shower of nettles upon bis
foe, to which Governor Bullock can testify
with great unction.
He also singed sorely bis snccessor a
year or two back when the Opinion and the
Era grappled in daily skirmishes.
Peace to his gubernatorial bones. At
length he reposes his wandering limbs
upon a throne. His declining years can
be passed in calm contemplation of royal
beatitudes.
All Hail! Governor Bard!
Tlio Attorney-General and Geor
gia.
The following communication was to
day addressed to the Senate by Attorney-
General Hoar, in reply to the resolution
asking for copies of any communication
sent by him to any of the United States
military authorities since the passage of
the last act relative to the readmission of
Georgia, and any opinion as to the eligibil-
ty of the members of the Legislature of
Georgia:
“I have given no official opinion in writ
ing in relation to the affairs in Georgia,
and have not in my possession a copy of
any communication such as is referred to
by the resolution. The questions arising
in relation to the reconstruction of Geor
gia have sometimes been the subject of con
versation between the President, the Sec
retary, of War, the General of the Army
and myself; and I have expressed opin
ions upon some of the questions, but not
in such a formal and official manner that I
understood they were to be the subject of
action. On one occasion, in conversation
with the President, the General of the Ar

views I took upon one or two questions,

bad bad an association with a colored wo
man of light hue, about the size of the

threatened him with punishment at her

The schooner Eleanor, from Baltimore,
with a cargo of fertilizers, consigned to O.
G. Parsley & Co., of this city, went ashore

goes.
No reports have been received of the re

thought the loss of vessels and life will be
fearful.

rall, of the Supreme Court, Representative
Clift. Mr. John Rice and others, called on
President Grant'this morning. In an in
terview of an hour’s duration, they dis
cussed the political situation fully. The
President stated that although liis first
impressions were that the action of the
Legislature, previous to the expulsion of
the colored members, was legal and bind
ing, and the election of Senators to hold
good, he was satisfied, after more mature
reflection, that the present legislative or
ganization was the first, and that action
should be commenced de novo. He in
quired who the Republicans would elect
Senators; to which the Delegation respon
ded. that no nominations had yet been
made, but they would probably be made on
Monday, and the election take place on
Tuesday. No doubt they would be loyal
Republicans.
The President said both he and Sherman
bad entire confidence in Terry, and he
would fully advise them of the situation in
a few days, as he would be here on public
business. The Delegation also expressed
confidence in Terry’s judgment and abil-
ity.

section of country-or one class of citizens
at the expense of another section or class,

WASHINGTON SOCIETY,
A Kacy Picture ol' the Beau Monde.
If toilets of perfect Parisian taste are for'
midable, if it is an ordeal to enter a room
where every woman is complete in style
and freshness of toilet, where the nicest
purity of black and white distinguishes the
gentleman, and dress coats have that grace
ful clinging curve at the back of the waist
whicli marks the work of an artist, then it
is sufficient to go through a presentation
at one of these evenings in really good so
ciety. An illuminated card assigns your
partner and seat at table, and-if the bouquet
at you plate, and tho cotnia design on the
dinner card don’t give you something io
say to your partner, keep still and gain a
discreet reputation. You will probably find
yourself vis-a-vis with one oi the gentle
manly attaches whose name sounds so like
those in Willis’ letters, or the modern Bel-
gravian novel, while tho great people’:
names are so mediocre and' proper. Ed
ward Thornton, Esq., sounds like one of T.
S. Arthur’s heroes, and Minister Roberts
needs all the prelude of Senor Don Mau-
ricio Lopez to give the high-sounding
Spanish pride. IIow completely the Eng
lish attaches represent the Belgravian of
the London magazines—their hair parted
just a line off the exact center, their soft
eyes only one degree firmer than those of
their sisters, wliilp their beautiful long side-
whiskers remind one of “Care's Willows.”
Fine blades often have velvet sheaths.
The Spanish gentlemen one recognizes by
their close-shorn black heads and smooth
faces, all courtesy, inevitable pride and se-
cretivcness; eyes that, like those of their
women, betray a hundred intrigues, he-
eause they seek to conceal so much. The
exquisite politeness of the South Ameri
cans makes yon wonder if you really can
be dust and ashes after this perfect‘ defer
ence, and their manners arc marked by
more vivacity than those of the Spanish
people. Catch one of them at fault if you
can. He will denominate the American
women as prudes, and “incomplete,” as
significantly say, stigmatize the country as
unendurable, and the people as frightfully
stiff and cold, without giving one a: possi
ble chance to retort, by the dextrous cour
tesy of tope whicli characterizes all . The
Argentine and Peruvian Legations ire ex
tremely popular for the. gayety and the
new excitable pleasures they infuse into
the steady, unimaginative American so
ciety.
The navy people, as they are called, have
an air peculiar to themselves; upright,easy.
dauntless; and the women have ani'esprit
which they catch, possibly, from their
fathers or brothers. Certainly they carry
themselves better than most of the women
in the room. Shoulder-straps and back-
boards need to be revived for the benefitof
this weak-chested generation, who have
almost forgotten how to stand without
either tilting themselves backward or for
ward. This does not apply to Mrs. Secre
tary Fish, who deserves to be leader of the
ton by virtue of her carriage, if nothing
more.

Mr. Editor: The state of political affairs

sion party in attending Divine service, dri
ving and perambulating the streets. At
6 o’clock, r. M., yesterday, the Green Line
train started upon its journey to this point,
which was reached this morning between
9 and 10 o’clock. No formal reception
was accorded the delegation, as no special
invitation had been extended by tho munic
ipality or citizens with that view.
After partaking of such refreshments as
tho various Hotels were enabled to pro
vide, the excursionists divided into groups
and passed the day in wandering about tho
city in quest of sights, which were found in
the shape of luxuriant gardens that aboun
ded in lettuce, cabbage, English-peas, and
other vegetables that were as far advanced
in point of maturity as the gardens usually
present in Middle Georgia in the month of
May. Pea-vines have clambered up their
artificial supports to the height of four feet,
bearing full developed pods, ready for the
table. Orange trees, laden with golden
fruit, constitute an attractive feature to
strangers in Jacksonville. Visitors from
the Western cities were much gratified at
the opportunity thus afforded of seeing this
favorite native of the tropics flourishing in
all its glory.
Several water crafts were chartered by
the excursionists, who sailed at pleasure up
and down the broad and beautiful St. John
river, and who visited various points of in
terest, among which was the winter resort
and orange grove of Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe, situated on the banks of tho stream,
fifteen miles above Jacksonville. Your
correspondent was a member of this party.
The authoress, whose recent reputed de
velopments in reference to tho Byron do
mestic relations, and who evoked the criti
cisms of both hemispheres, has but recently
returned to “Mandarin,” her river-side
home. It is a charming spot, rendered
moro attractive by the group of huge live
oaks that extend their long moss-covered
arms over tho area that lies betwoen the
shore and court-yard.
The feature of “Mandarin” is tho beau
tiful and extensive orange groves that or
nament these grounds. The luscious, yel
low fruit, hanging in clustors amidst the
deep green foliage, delights tho eye of the
beholder. Tho party was presented to Mrs.
Stowe, and during their sojourn occupied
the hour devoted to their recreation in
plucking oranges and wandering through
the premises rendered notorious by the
presence of its present possessor.
Jacksonville is rapidly improving, and
seems to be alive to the importance of ma
terial progress, as evinced in tho largo num
ber of substantial buildings recently erec
ted. Many Northern capitalists have of
late invested here; and within a period of
two years real ostato has advanced from
four to five hundred per cent. A spacious
Hotel (the St. James) was completed about
one year since. Quite a number of invalids
from the Northern States, aro now seeking
to improve their impaired health in this,
their’ favorito resort. The excursionists
have declined to visit Tallahassee, and will
return to-morrow morning to Jessup, the
junction of the Gulf with the Macon and
Brunswick Road, when a majority of them
will proceed to Macon, whilst others will
visit Brunswick, Savannah, and Charleston.
Thu Green Line Excursion has proved a
success in every aspect, and will'doubtless
be the means of inaugurating commercial
business relations between the Great West
and the South, that will redound to the ma
terial advancement of both sections.

An English View That Radical
Negrroisnt is the Acutest Moral
Torture Ever Inflicted.
From the Pall Mall Gazetto.l
* * * Except in the case of the Uni
ted States, there has been great uniformity
in the history of the suppression of rebel
lions in modern times. First, there has
been severe and often sanguinary punish
ment inflicted on the chiefs of tho revolt;
then has succeeded a period during which
the successful empire has enforced strict
obedience to itself from its subjugated de
pendency; and finally has come a strong de
sire, growing somotimea out of policy,
sometimes out of a sense of justice, and
sometimes out of mere emotion, to win its
affections, or at all events its voluntary ac
quiescence in accomplished facts. England
is just at present feoling an almost passion
ate wish to be reconciled to Ireland and to
be beloved by tho natives of India; Austria
has done her best to come to terms with
Hungary, and there aro signs that the
sufferings of Poland are beginning to causo
discomfort and compunction oven in Rus
sia. The United States seem destined to an
experience of a different kind. On the
morrow of tho conquost their treatment of
the Southern leaders was marked by a gen
tleness which will always be remembered
to their honor. But in the next stage of
their relations with the South, tho necessity
for combining despotic rule with something
liko tho forms of local self-government
forced them to adopt a policy which has
more than made up for their abstinence
from bloodshed. Nobody whose intelli
gence has not been impaired by tho habit
of repeating formulas about universal suf
frage, can doubt that the punishment inflic
ted on the Southern whites is far tho sever
est which ono community has ever inflicted
on another. England governed Ireland
through a minority which tho mass of the
Celtic popnlation, however it might hate,
nover dreamed of despising; the United
States rule the South through a majority
of negroes, contempt for whom was almost
a religion with the planter before the at
tempt at secession. Wo are not consider
ing whether the punishment was deserved,
or whether the Northern States could pos
sibly help inflicting it; we merely say that,
after the capacity of the negro for improve
ment has been rated as highly as possible,
and after all possible deductions have been
made from the credibility of the stories
published by the Democratic press, the fact
remains that government of white men by
colored ex-slaves is the accutest form of
moral torture which has ever been applied
to a community. How unfortunate it has
been that the punishment of the South has
taken this shape the United States are not
likely to feel until the time come9 (and it
will certainly come) when the people of the
North will be animated with tho strongest
wish to be reconciled to even the most ob
stinate zealots of secession. We should' be
sorry to lay down that the United States
would, have done well to shed blood like
water in tho first moments of triumph if
only-they could have devised some less de
grading contrivance for the provisional
government of the South. Yet it is quite
certain that bloodshed is easily forgotten;
personal outrage with the greatest difficul
ty. The Hungarian nobles appear to have
forgiven the Emperor Francis Joseph for his
wholesale execution of their brethren; but
nobody can fail to see that the “ irreconcil
ability ” of some of the most imminent of
French politicians is greatly due to recol
lections of the personal dishonor to which
they were subjected on the memorable
morning of the coup d’etat. At the present
moment we are well aware that nothing

ernor Walker yesterday appointed John L.

tenant-Governor in place of Hon. John F.
Lewis, elected to the United States Senate.
Mr. Maryo is a distinguished lawyer of
Fredericksburg. Ho was nominated for
Attorney-General in 1868 on the ticket with
Colonel R. E. Withers and General James
L. Walker; but when ho found that he
could bettor serve his State by so doing he
declined to run, as did his associates also.
Mr. Marye was ono of the now celebrated
“ Committee of Nine,” whose work has just
' been finished up, and it is exceedingly ap
propriate that ho should worthily wear tho
honors which he has so worthily wen. He
is as true as steel—a noble son of a region
which has given birth to many noble ones.
He is a map of inflcxiblo fidelity to his
State, to honor and to truth. Ho is patri
otic and unselfish. Ho is, ;n a word, a
man who will do honor to this ancien-
Commonwealth. We congratulate the

Jcdbr. in South Carolina.
Tho Charleston News tells us all about
\\ right, the Pfegro just elected Supreme
Court Judge, of that Stato. It gays:
Wright, a colored man who sits in
the General Assembly as Senator from
~.eaufort connty, was elected yesterday
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of
this State. Wright was bom in Psnnsyl
vania, graduated at tho Lancasterian Uni
versity in New York, studied law for two
years at Montrose, Pennsylvania, and was
admitted to the bar in Susquehanna county,
being the first colored man admitted to
practice in Pennsylvania.
In 1865 he came South and was made le
gal adviser of the South Carolina freed-

Wright is quiet, well-behaved and deci

nor h.s little knowledge of the law caused
his election to tho highest judicial position
in the State. Ho was elected solely and
simply because ho is a colored man.

What Does Reason Say?—The little
mongoose when bitten by a deadly serpent
resorts to a certain plant, eats of it, and es
capes the effect of the poison. That is in
stinct. Human beings on the other hand,
must depend on reason and experience in
selecting the means of protecting health
and life against unwholesome influences.
Now. what does reason say on this vital
Fanny Mention.
There is a kind of grim humor in the ad
dress of a devout deacon to his newly-
settled pastor as he gave him the usual wel
come—“The Lord will keep you humble
and we will keep you poor.
A parson surprised a farmer, whom he
seldom saw at hia ministrations, by asking
him directly, after a little reproof of his
6ln of omission, “ Shall we see you at
church next Sabbath?” “Y-e-s,” he re
plied slowly, “ I’ll go—or send a hand 1”
“ Go to ’ell,” is a choice expression, gen
erally used now In Washington, origina
ting from a remark to that effect, often
made by Prince Arthur. The ladies, many
of them, U3e it, and declare it expresses
their feelings better than any remark they
ould make.
A Wisconsin paper says that a cotempo-
raryhas “struck a livelier local gait than
ever, as the last number contains an obitu
ary of J udge Cary.” Another paper says:
“ Our editor haviDg gone to Madison, and
taken his scissors with him, we are unable
to wile in his dashing style.”
Two citizens were heard conversing In a
street in Dqndee. regarding the Ecumen

which generates disease? Surely it does.
The next question is, what guide shall we
follow in choosing a medicinal safeguard ?
Reason replies, let your monitor be expe
rience. Well, the experience of eighteen
years, comprised in one unbroken series of
satisfactory testimonials, assures us that
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters possess
strengthening, regulating and antiseptic
properties which are not combined in the*
same happy proportions in any other prep
aration extant. This, therefore, is the an
tidote to which reason bids ns reeort when
our health is imperilled either by the ma
laria which produces epidemic disorders, or
by any other cause, whether inherent and
constitutional or connected with onr hab
its, occupations and pursuits.
The venom of a noxious reptile is scarce
ly more subtle and dangerous than that
which lurks in foul air and impure water.
To escape the fevers, bilious disorders, dis
turbances of the bowels, and other serious
maladies produced by these insalubrious
elements, it is absolutely necessary that the
stomach and all the secretive organs should
be, so to speak, in a robust condition. Upon
the amount of resistance which the vital
system can oppose to the deleterious in
fluences that assail it, the safety of the
health depends, and it is because the great
vegetable invlgorant Imparts energy and
regularity to the most important functions
of the body, that it can be recommended
and guaranteed as an invaluable prevent
ive medicine.
