WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1871. Pamphlet 44 On j upon which they rest, (whether Municipal, __^oavannaii morning News, ignoring the real distracting issues of the canvass, ascribes the defeat of the Democrats of California to their sanction of the “New Departure;” and to show the extent to which they sanctioned it, the News quotes from their platform as follows: “ We re gard Jthe three several amendments to the Constitution recently adopted as a settlement in fact of sill the issues of the war, and that the same are no longer is sues before the country.” Now, the Hon. A. H. Stephens, notic ing this identical declaration of the Cali fornia Democratic platform, a few days since, said “this is our position exactly.” —Columbus, (Ga.)

We learn that the survey of the Grif fin, Monticello and Madison Railroad has been made, and that work will soon be commenced on it. The line runs in a mile and a half of Indian Spring, This is one of the roads having State indorsement—perhaps more of it than the Road will be worth when it is com pleted. Are the Corporators harrying to get to work, with an incomplete survey, so as to have twenty miles completed and claim and obtain the indorsement of the State, while Bullock is in office, and be fore the next meeting of the Legislature? the Stndy of the Law.” We give our readers to-day a “Critical Notice” of this publication, by Hon. Iharles Reemelin, taken from the Cin cinnati Commoner, of the 9th inst, in which it appeared. The best evidence of our full appreciation of the closing re marks of Mr. Reemelin in his review of the pamphlet is oar reproduction of his entire article. In relation to the two points on which he differs in opinion from the views pre sented in the pamphlet, we think it pro per to submit a few remarks: First: He objects to the classifica tion of law as given in the pamphlet. This general classification is into Muni cipal, Federal and International Law. The objection of Mr. Reemelin to this classification seems to be founded entire ly upon the grounds that it is new, and not in conformity to what are considered standard authorities on the subject. "Vattel, for instance, as well as Grotefend, Heftier, and Klueber (later German writ ers) he says; considered Federal Law, in their classification, as a branch of Inter national Lain. In reply to this, we have only to say that Vattel, and the writers to whom he refers, did not mean by Fed eral Law, what is meant by it, and what it is defined to be in the pamphlet. The truth is, nothing of the character of Fed eral Laic, as defined in the pamphlet, ex isted when Vattel wrote. This new fea ture in Government, therefore, and new hind of laic, (springing from it) re quired a name and a classification hot be fore known in political or legal nomen clature. This was the new feature presented- in the American Federal Union—(of author izing, in the Constitution, the Federal Government to exercise direct leg islative powers on specified subjects, over the civil conduct of the citizens of the several States composing the Union) —which so excited the admiration of |DeTocqueville, and for which he said there was no proper name. It was this | new feature which also so excited the ad miration of Lord Brougham. Ift Now, the definition of Federal Law the pamphlet, does not refer to the mjxwt of Union between the States, to rhich Vattel refers, and which is very Ty within the purview of the Law of ations, as he states, but to those legislative (f the Federal law-making power, ■hick regulate, to-a limited extent, the civil duct of the cifizegs qf the several States. 'his new feed uni in th! American system is what DeTocqueville said required a neio Jiame, and, of course, a new classification. 'his new name and new classification is hat is given to it, in the pamphlet. While it was not expected that this ad- r ance step in political or legal nomencla- •e would pass without criticism (as no inch advance step ever does in any De partment of Knowledge), yet, we mnst lonfess, that more apprehension' was ‘elt from objections, on the grounds that 'ederal Law, as defined in the* pam- >hlet, should be considered as a branch of the Municipal laws of the several States, than from the objection of Mr. Reemelin, that it should be considered as a branch of International law. We feel well assured, however, that the more the subject is discussed and studied, the more generally will it be seen and acknowledged that the definition and classification in the pamphlet, though both new, are both right. Mr. Reemelin is in a slight error in stating that the pamphlet attributes to Lord Brougham, the assertion that “our wonderful system” “is mainly due to the genius of Thomas Jefferson.” That is the statement of the author of the pamphlet himself. The creative idea of the whole system came from the brain of Mr. Jef ferson, and was first embodied in “lan- guaged thought,” (so far as the author of the pamphlet has been able to discover, after a very thorough examination of the records,) in his letter to Mr. Madison, written at Paris, 16th December, 1786, wherein he sketched the plan of making the States “one nation as to foreign concerns,” and keeping them “distinct in domestic ones,” with a division and classification of the delegated Federal Powers, into Legisla tive, Executive and Judicial Departments. But enough of this for the present. The second objection of Mr. Reemelin to the positions of the pamphlet, we also think not well founded. He seems to maintain that the source of Federal Law is not “natural right," as stated in the pamphlet, because “the “compacts that create Federal Law ema- “nate from Conventions of independent and “mutually free Stales," as is well stated by Grotefend—the authority cited. But are not these “compacts,” from which Federal Law emanates, founded npon the “natural rights” of those free States, as clearly shown in the pamphlet ? Is not its source, therefore, natural right? We can but think that upon a reconside ration of the subject, Mr. Reemelin will see that the doctrines of the pamphlet are correct in maintaining that the source of all just human laws, and the basis ■■■ Federal or International, or in whatever other classification they may be ar ranged) is natural right. A. H. S. AN OLD-FASHIONED CAMP-MEETING A Visit to Mount Gilead—The Scenes— Good Singing and an Excellent Ser mon. 1 At an early hour Sunday morning could be seen hacks, carriages, buggies and vehicles of every description hurry ing out Whitehall street in the direction of Mount Gilead, which is distant some eight or nine miles from the city on the Campbelton road. This is an old and noted camp ground, where annually are held those seasons of religious services for which it has been famous for thirty- six years past. It was first established in 1834, and every year since, with the exception, perhaps, of two or three years during the war, has this spot witnessed similar scenes to that of Sunday. The long years ago of which we speak this place was selected by the Holbrooks, the Greens, the Smiths, the Wilsons, and others, and dedicated to the service of the Almighty. Many of the patriarchs have been gathered unto their fathers, while those who remain “keep their lamps trimmed and burning,” ever ready to answer tliesumons, “come up higher.” Bat the numerous descendants of this neighborhood of veterans have stepped in and taken their fathers’ places, and these annual reunions have lost none of their pristine pleasures. Between two and three thousand per sons were on the grounds Sunday. The city was largely represented, but by far the larger proportion of the assemblage was composed of good, honest farmers, with their wives and children, and who had brought a sufficient supply of the good things of life to feed everybody who might attend. The singing was the good old camp meeting style, where all joined in with an earnestness and devotion only witnes sed on occasions of this kind. The choir was led by our old friend Johnson, of the Fairbum Sentinel, and his fine baritone notes reached out into the shady surroun dings in a richness truly exhilirating.— The Rev. Mr. Potter preached an able and lengthy discourse, which was listened throughout with profound reverence and interest. An intermission for dinner was an nounced, and then the genuine hospital ity of those good people copped out most conspicuously. About forty and fifty tents are occupied, and each one is welcome home for any who will partake of its hospitality. The meeting commenced last Friday night and will continue until to-morrow. Adjoining the grounds is one of the largest and best springs in the State.— The entire grounds are thickly studded with majestic oaks, and underneath is a velvety carpet of grass—making it alto gether one of the most delightful places in the country. Added to this the fine weather of Sunday, the bright sunshine, the bracing atmosphere and the dreamy haze of ah Indian summer—and none but the veriest misanthrope could resist the inclination of his own heart to thank God for such a day of real pleasure. »-♦-< MAYOR’S COURT. away, unlesk he could make an exhibit of a ten-dollar greenback. Ho was took ROSELLA HARTSFIF.IjD had some ugly charges brought against^ her; but as the proof was not sufficient to convict, she took her seat among the dark cloud which had settled in the comer. m. s. BALL came in with one eye in deep mourning. He had an ugly gash cut in the cheek, which he says a friend of his did on Sunday morning. This friend was not in Court, and as it was shown that Ball was not to blame, the Court let him offi JOHN KENNON is a very deep blonde, and a very game boy, and drives a city express. Two or three negroes went riding in John’s ex press, and when settling time came they wanted to “shenanigy,” and not pay fall fare. This set Kennon’s blood to flow ing hurriedly, and ho went for those ex slaves in true Turkish style. His bill was So. SIDNEY EVANS was introduced to His Honor for having with malice prepense and aforethought, to say nothing of other designs, and in opposition to his will, flooded his diges tive apparatus with rum punches until exhausted nature could stand it no lon ger, and his proud form sunk to a recum bent position on tlie pave. Thus found, he owned up and paid $5. ELIZA JEFFREY, was indulging in some saussnci. along with a crowd of other bad. nigger girls, and wasn’t at all particular what she said. She insulted some ladies on the street, for which she payed ten dollars and costs. FANNY SMITH, a sweet yaller damsel in pink hose, •would make a first rate member of the “Black Crook” family. She is rather a noted character, and frequently shocks the modesty of the police and other tim id people, by words and acts. The last shock she gave the neighborhood, cost Francis a V. MARTHA WHITE, was as black as a crow, and for that and calling Fanny Smith the daughter of a female dog, she paid $5 and costs. EDMUND FERRELL keeps a negro saloon, and is such a good keeper that he keeps open nearly all night. To keep him from injuring his health by sitting up so late, he was re quested to deposit $10 with Jonsen, with the promise of $50 more if he did not desist from such habits. A Bran New Hat and.

The Mayor is a natural born good talker, and he has improved upon the works of nature. He is par excellence in that line, but when he came into Court yesterday morning with a bran new, slick beaver on, the eighteen penitents who were ^shedding tears over in the mourn er’s comer at once dried up those tears, blowed their noses and admired the good looks of His Honor, for they had every reason to believe that he would be volu ble instead of savage. J. H. CANNON was first called, accused of firing off his artillery on the streets. As the offense was slight and the charge was a blank cartridge, he had the privilege left him of paying $5 and costs or parking his artillery in the calaboose. JAMES m’coy -was simply drunk on the streets. He didn’t intend to do anything of the sort, and he paid $5 and costs. WM. PERRY was a black Commodore of the first wa ter. Wm. was charged with disorderly and profane, but when the investigation was narrowed down to particulars, it turned out to be another man—one of the Commodore’s subalterns. Ho sailed his vessel forward unmolested. PEB-SIMEON BRANHAM was a very sour case—in fact, a bad nig ger—more than an average for badness. He not only disgraced the Branham name by getting drank and cursing, but he pro posed to take the filling out of a. woman’s dress with a stick.

'The Chronicle and Sentinel of Saturday furnishes the following brace of items: The annual celebration of the Phi Gamma Society, of Emory College, will take place at the Society Hall, on Friday, September 22d. The continued Heavy rains o£ the last ten days have been very detrimental to the cotton crop. From all parts of the State we have accounts of injury done, and in some instances lamentable “cal culations” of the great falling off in the crop from the excessive moisture and gales. MACON. The Telegraph of Sunday, speaking of affairs in Monroe county, says: * A leading planter writes us that the annals of cotton planting may be search ed in vain for a year of such unfavorable conditions as this one has presented from first to last: “There is nothing left upon the weed except the early fruit. The continuous rains have begotten a second growth, causing the middle crop of forms—wliafc little there was—to shed off, presenting the singular aspect—for September fields —of mingled brown and green. This additional growth of weed is so shading the early crop as to cause a considerable per centage of rot.” Picking is much interrupted' by the demand for l^or to get out lumber for repairing or renewing bridges and mill- dams. Nine out of ten in the county were washed away or damaged by the late rains. The same paper has this item: We learn from a neighboring county that a person has been operating there trying to induce Democrats to form a se cret political club (not Ivu-Klux—oh no!) and claiming that he is acting under au thority and instructions from the Demo cratic Central Executive Committee of Georgia. We feel authorized to say that no authority of that kind has been given to anybody, and that the Democratic Central Executive Committee is opposed to all secret political associations whatev er. We believe any man who goes round Georgia on such an errand as this is an emissary of the Radicals and oi the devil, too. His design is to entrap Democrats. COLUMBUS. The >ST(Oi of Sunday, lias the subjoined news: The freight bills on bulk wheat, re ceived by the Palace mills in the last few days via the Western Railroad, amounted to $1,500. We heard a rumor yesterday, that a company composed of wealthy gentle men, had been formed to build an opera house on the old Post Office lot. We hunted in vain yesterday for a mun who believed in the cotton figures of the Agricultural Bureau. It was universally pronounced a fraud at guessing. A female operative at the factory yes terday had a hand badly mashed while doing some work around the quilling machine for the Eagle aud Phoenix fac tory. We understand that twenty-six gins have been carried to river pfiujtations, per steamers, within the past few months. Some 5,000 bales of cotton are ^expected by tlie river this season again.-t i,495last year. Strange to tell, the stream, has been navigable all of this year.
