LARGEST CIRCULATIOM IN THE CITY AND COUNTY
MONDAY. JUNE 35, ISOS.
To oub Couutbt Fbiknds.—A* much interest is
felt throughout the country in regard to the pros
pects of the cotton and other crops we will be grate
fill to our planting friends and others in the interior
for information on that subject. Those who hare op
portunities for obtaining valuable information in
regard to the growing crops, the working of the free
abor system, and kindred matters, of general interest,
will confer a favor by communicating the same to us.
TIIE RESTORATION OF HARMONY IN
THE RADICAL PARTY.
The New Yor£ News and other reputed
conservative Republican journals have been
laboring very diligently of late to make it ap
pear that the differences between the
President and the Radicals were more
hypothetical than real. They have even
ventured so far as to predict with confidence
thai ere long the contestants, as the result ot
mutual sacrifice of opinion, will be standing
uponthe same platform of principles, work
ing hasmoniously. for the preservation ot the
socalled ‘‘Union party,"and forits continued
ascendancy in the councils of the Govern
ment. But the current developments do noi
sustain this hopetul view of the future of the
destructives. ■- We may cite as couclusivi
evidence on this point, the position taken
.by the Radicals in Congress that it was uol
necessary, nor would they submit the Con
stitutional Amendment passed a few days
since to the President for his approval or
disapproval, and the communication of the
latter intorming Congress that he did not ap
prove of that measure, becauso the sovereign
people of the Nation have not been afforded
an opportunity of expressing their opinions
upon it. The President gives them to under
stand also that he does not approve of the
merits of the articles which Congress sub
mits through the Executive Department to
the Legislatures of the States, inasmuch a.-
all the Southern States, with the exception of
Texas have already been entirely restored t(
all their functions as States, in conformity
with the organic law of the land, and have
appeared at the National Capitol by tbeii
Senators aud have been refused admission to
the vacant seats.
It thus appears that the disagreement be
tween the Radicals and the President ex
tends throughout the whole field of the
restoration question, and therefore may be
regarded, notwithstanding the opinions ol
the journals referred to, as final and irrecon
cilable. When the President first broke
ground with the Radicals it appeared that
there was some ground for supposing that
the difference had reference only to one or
two minor questions, and that it would be
confined to them. But events which have
since occurred prove that view to be
erroneous. There is not only no prospect of
any agreement of views between the Presi
dent and Radicals, hut there is no apparent
disposition, en either side, to count on agree
ment. As soon as the first veto message of
the President was received in Congress, the
dominant party took occasion to demonstrate
their entire willingness to place the quarrel
at once beyond the hope of reconciliation.—
Ou the other hand the President is equally
tenacious of his position, and evinces a
readiness to accept the issue and to .fight it
out. His last communication to Congress,
which we published in our issue of Satur
day, leaves no room to doubt that the Presi
dent continues to stand firmly upon the
ground that he has chosen, and falsifies the
assertion that he is prepared to sacrifice
princip.es for parlizan purposes. He has
said quite emphatically time and again, that
he did not intend to swerve from his present
course, and the remarkable manner in which
iic adheres to his positions, iudicat.es that he
is in no wise anxious to compromise with
them. Theretore, we see no prospect what
ever—hardly a possibility—of a reconcilia
tion. ' The disagreement has passed the
heaiiug point, and has reached a degree of
rancor and animosity that must tend to
widen the breach.
The probable consequence of the rupture
it is difficult to foresee. The President
seems to have but little strength in the Re
publican branch of Congress, and it is
probable that at least three-fourths of the
Northern Legislatures will disprove his poli
cy, but we likewise believe that he has a
strong hold upon the masses of the people,
and that be wiil receive a cordial endorse
ment. from a very large proportion of think-
irk men in all sections of the country.
FitoteUSAt*
1'hai the standard of pqUbodl morality has
Been greatly iotfer#&ytto<tan<taliztag in
fluences of,the lat*%ar has been' shown by
a variety off incidents occurring in political
life, Itnt Itf none more pointedly than that
which transpiredtp the Galled States Senate
a few days since
During the discussion of the proposition
to amend the Constitution of the United
States, Mr. Doolittle offered an amend
ment" in ]idh ~‘'6f the Senate caucus
proposition, regarding the basis of suffrage
in the States. Mr. Sherman,' of Ohio, opposed
it, and said he “believed that Mr. Doolittle's
amendment was right in principle, that he
should vote against it because he felt it his
duty to sustain the action agreed upon by his
political friends*. and he knew it would be
impossible to arrive at any conclusion with
out some sacrifice of personal conviction.”
What a sad commentary upon the political
and moral depravity of the time# t , a distin
guished Senator rises from his seat, in a
branch of our government heretofore regard
ed as above suspicion, and gravely announces
to the world that for the sake of party suc
cess and the triumph of party measures, he
is willing to lend his aid; avowing at the
same time, that he was doing wrong to his
country and violating his own conscience.
This,|too, in theiace of an oath to da other
wise. ' y> '•
This is a beautiful specimen of the integri
ty of Radical Senators who aro constantly
charging corruption and treachery upon
those who differ with them upon the subject
of restoration. Their hate of “Copperhead-
ism” and the South, prompts them to assent
to almost anything that Jwill bring humilia
tion and disgrace upon the Southern States.
It cannot be, surely, that the people will
much longer tolerate or keep in power a set
of men so reckless and disregardful of the
public interest,.
This Department or Education—Its Du
ties and Cost.—The House of Representa
tives has (passed the bill establishing a de
partment of education, authorizing the ap
pointment of a commissioner to be paid $2,-
U00, chief clerk, $1,800, and two other clerks,
$1,800 and $1,000 per annum. The depart
ment is designed to collect and disseminate
statistics and information concerning the
best educational modes, Ac.
These best “educational modes,” with the
school-books in which they are taught, will
emanate from radical sources, and having
control of the whole matter of education
The new Bureau will take good care that the
young idea at the South, white or black, is
taught to shoot in the right direction. Now
we only need a department or Bureau of Re
ligion. aud the reconstruction of the Repub
lic will be complete. The additional Bureau
would only cost a few millions, and it would
afford soft places to many loyal men even if
it failed to promote the national piety.
TIIE TROUBLE IN EUROPE.
The latest intelligence from Europe indi
cates that war is still inevitable. It is reported
that the Prussian troops have advanced into
the Duchy of Holstein—one of the two dis
tricts about the control of which Prussia and
Austria have quarrelled. The general aspect
of the situation is unchanged, except so far
as the progress of military preparations are
concerned. All the belligerents are busily-
employed in hurrying troops to the localities
where fighting is likely to occur, and the
crash cannot long be delayed. Indeed it is
asserted that Austria regards the entry of the
Prussian anny into Holstein as a casus belli.
It is stated also, that a distinguished di
plomatist has gone from Paris to Vienna, and
his mission is said to be the Hast effort for
conciliation. -Bismarck, the Pussian Prime
Minister has sent to the Prussian representa
tives abroad reflecting severely upon the in
tegrity of theAustrian government, with which,
says the European press, the last hopes of
peace have disappeared, and hostilities have
become inevitable.
In our paper of Saturday we published an
extract from a communication in the Augusta
Constitutionalists, in which the writer remon
strated against the manner in which the rite of
confirmation had been administered in the
Episcopal Churches of that city. We take
the following from the Constitutionalist of
Saturday.
‘Church Discipline.”—Having pubished
a communication from a ‘-Southern Member
of St. Paul’s Church,” which has called
forth much comment, we desire to close the
discussion of the subject so far as this journal
is concerned. At the request of the rector
of the Chu’-ch of the Atonement, we cheer-
lully give place to the following:
T . Augusta, June 21, 18C6.
l hereby certify that it has always been the
custom in this diocese to present the can
didates for confirmation in precisely the
manner practiced on Sunday last at the
Cliurclrof the Atonement and at St. Paul’s.
The rectors did but conform to established
usage, and, so far as my knowledge extends,
the same is the method which has always
been adopted in eveiy Southern diocese.

Bishop of the Diocese of Georgia.
What the Freedmen’s Bureau Costs.—
In the Senate on Tuesday last the army ap
propriation bill was then taken up, and an
amendment adopted appropriating the fol
lowing sums to support the Freedmen’s Bu
reau : For salaries of the commissioner
and assistants, $147,500; for clerks, $82,000;
for" clothing, $1,170,000; for commissary
stores, $3,160,250; for medicine, $500,000;
for transportation, $1,320,000; for school
superintendents, $20,000; and for repairs o'
school houses, $500,000; various oilier
amendment were adopted, and the hill was
passed.

continue in force for three years more the

Our readers will remember tliat we
published a tew days since an appeal from
the ladies of Resaca, Ga., for contributions
to enable them to gather and have properly
interred the remains of the Confederate
soldiers who fell in the battles near that
place. Some benevolent ladies of Savannah
having interested themselves in the matter,
request us to state that Major A. Lf
Hartridge, of the firm of Bryan & Hartridgc,
will receive and forward any contributions
made by our citizens in response to the ap
peal of the ladies of Resaca.

tives to strike out the clause of the army bill
providing 'for eight regiments of colored
troops, indicates that negro troops are to be
kept in the army as the settled policy of the
country. This idea of negro troops is very
attractive to certain members of this Con
gress. They imagine that they are elevating
the negro by making him a soldier, and then
it suits certain other ideas they have not of
the most benevolent character to the South.
The news from Mexico is not encouraging
to persons disposed to go there as emigrants.
The Government seams rather tired of the
colonization policy, as they have abolished
the special bureau on the subject, establish
ed under the direction of Capt. Mauray and
Gen. Magruder, and placed the subject in
charge of the Secretary of State. The ac
counts do not encourage persons to go there
without means, unless they are able to go to
work as agricultural laborers. It is no place
for gentlemen without money. The con
dition of society continues lawless there in
the extreme, robberies and murders being
things of ordinary occurrence.
The Judiciary Committee of the House
who have been trying all session to hatch up
evidence to authorize the trial of Mr. Davis
for complicity in the assassination plot, are
out of heart now. The thing won’t work, the
principal witnesses are proved beyond dispute
to be prejudiced. And yet if Mr. Davis had
been put on trial while the matter was new,
before a military commission, his conviction
would have been a matter of course. These
men who have been working so hard to fas
ten this and kindred crimes on Mr. Davis,
now that they are foiled in their expectations,
have not the honesty to come out at once
and do justice by # acknowledging the error
into which they had fallen.
The proposed amendment to the Constitu
tion which has passed Congress, differs from
the several amendments first adopted to the
Constitution in this regard. The first amend
ment permitted a vote on each am endment
separately; now the vote is to be taken in a
lump. The reason of this is that the party
leaders are determined the whole shall pass
or none. The two measures they really wish
adopted are the reduction of Southern repre
sentation, and exclusion of prominent seces
sionists from office. To^ strengthen these
two measures they put others with them. If
those other measures were adopted there
would be less reason for what they really want.
The impression among the most competent
judges here, is that the Constitution requires
proposed amendments to be submitted to the
President for his signature. The words of
the Constitution are as comprehensive as
possible, requiring “every vote” of both
Houses to be submitted to the President.
The most curious thing is, that the Radi
cals not only have their own way, but some
of them insist that they are carrying out the
President’s policy. They say the President
said “ treason should be made odious, ” repre-
sentation should be based on voters, Ac.
Mr. Green Clay Smith, who has been figuring
very actively as a supporter of the President,
having obtained the nomination of Governor
of Montana, voted with the Radicals for the
proposed amendment of the Constitution,
and on being remonstrated with, asserted he
was carrying out the President’s policy. Mr.
Smith i8 certainly dole capax up to snuff, for
he gets his nomination for supporting the
President, and now expects his confirmation
by the Senate for supporting the Radicals.
Very few politicians can beat this. Horse
trading, the national institution of Kentucky
must make people very sharp. Aud this is a
sample of the President’s friends. He ought
to be like Diogenes to start out in the middle
of the day with his lantern, to hunt. Houest
man.
Judge Oliver has Just decided in a libel
suit before bis court, that the Secretary of
War cannot be compelled to produce com
munications. made to him officially. The
case comes up to recover damages against
one person for writing a letter to the Secre
tary of war, making statements prejudicial
to the plaintiff. This Rame point was how
ever decided very early in the Government,
when Mr. Pickering was Secretary of State,
aud is familiar law in England.
The cholera still continues a source of un
easiness. It is evidently in New York,
though it has got but a slight foot hold. But
the fact of its being there at ail is ground for

law ofthe State and not of the Ujjfiii^d-Sfeffes.
It has transpired that for this act^udge Tho
mas was indicted by fhe United States Grand
Jury at the recent session of Judge Under-
wood s court at Richmond. No steps what
ever have been taken tb arrest Judge Thomas
under the indictment
• From the Springfield Republican.
Tkc Assassination Witnesses.
Tbe Judiciary Committee of tbe House are reported
to be embarrassed by the bod way in which the wit
nesses os to Davis' connection with the assassination
plot behave themselves. We do not see the reason
for embarrassment Certainly the Committee cun
have no desire to fix so monstrous a crime upon tha
chief traitor. On the contrary, they must feel reliev
ed to know that there is no evidenoe of any such crime
and that Judge Holt's contrary opinion rested wholly
upon unreliable testimony.
Tbe case appears innch worse now for the witnesses
than it did when first brought before the Committee.
Campbell, who swore hardest to statements implica-
cating Davis, has since taken back and denied all that
he first asserted, and now says that tbe entire teatl
mony was deliberately gotten np in order to secure a
share oi tbe reward for the arrest of Daria and the
other conspirators. Connover, one of Baker’a de
tectives, who was an important witness in the assas-
iuation trials, finding that Campbell’s confessions
were putting him ia a bad position, obtained permis
sion, about three weeks ago, to proceed to New York
and hunt up other witnesses, who, as he said, would
sustain his testimony and disprove tha Rn«i testimony
of Campbell.
A Deputy Marshal went to New York with Conno
ver, to keep watch of him, but Connover soon gave
him the slip, and he has not since been seen. It is
not likely that he wiU ever appear again voluntarily
aud hie escape goes to confirm Campbells's disclo
sures. There is now little room to doubt, what has
already been suspected by those who carefully read
the assassination trials, that tbe principal witnesses
for tbe Government ware perjured scoundrels. Per
haps none of the convictions procured by their testi
mony were undeserved, bnt if the culprits were al
lowed a-tegal trial, tnstead of trial by oourt-martial,
the country would not have been troubled by the un
pleasant suspicion that wrong may have been done in
the name of justice. Better the eecne of some of
the guilty eveh than a suspicion like this.
