RATIFICATION MEETING AT CO LIT M
BUS.
We publish in another column the pro
ceedings of the meeting held in Ccduin
bus, to ratify the action of the Philadel
phia Convention. The Sun says it was
largely attended by the most staunch
and respectable citizens of that community,
and that its proceedings were characterized
by harmony and good feeling. From the ex
hibition of sentiment gathered from the meet
ing, the some paper adds, the people of that
city are a nnit in their endorsement and sup
port of the party who proposed to meet, to
fight, and overthrow Radicalism in the coun
try.

HON. A. H. STEPHENS AS ALECTUREK.
It is announced that Mr. Stephens has been
engaged to deliver a lecture before the Young
Men’s Association of Chicago during its next
course, and that the Milwaukee people are
discussing the advisability of inviting him to
lecture in that city. The Northern paper
giving this information, commenting upon
the personal appearance of Mr. Stephens,
says it makes much against him. His health,
since childhood, has been bad, and he looks
like a skeleton over which the skin has been
drawn and then smoke-dried. His voice,
when he commences to speak, is shrill, ami
unlike that of any other man’s voice we ever
heard. As he progresses it increases in vol
ume, and in the talent of the orator the au
dience seem to lose sight of the oddity ot his
appearance.
Southhrn
it is now too late.'
Speaking of the failure of the last Coo
gress to settle the great questions now agi
tating the public mind throughout the coun
try, it expresses the belief that the nation is
threatened with the gravest misfortunes that
can happen to a country, aad that political
society is bold together by the, mtre'"'good
sense and forbearance of the citizens. Its
anxiety in regard to the future of the coun
try is mauifest^q^ieq it sa;
“Our ofiljFsafet
to 8tri£t.|ictjptitut ^
that, aa some well-meaning iuen
we are now running are infinitely greater. Under the
Constitution, with all parte of our complex govern
ment working with regularity, we may hope to
gain all that ie desirable by the safe course of argu
ment and discussiqft. Wit caqaeft ihin ftf fn any other
way securely. Wo cannot eatabllan the^millennium
by a military general order; we cannot put off upon
the General Government the work which citizens
must do. We cannot achieve in Mississippi, by bayo
net, a reform of public opinion which was effected in
Massacuusetts, and New York and Ohio, only by long,
patient, and pers>stent argument.”
The same paper urges upon the. Badifnl
party, as essential to its continued supre
macy in the national councils, not only the
admission of Southern representatives, but
the necessity of bolding a great National
Convention in some Southern tity, with a
view to theorganization of ibe lUdical.pB^tt
in every Southern State, and that the best
speakers from the North be sent down to lay
the Republican doctrine before the Southern
people. It closes its appeal to its party
friends by adjuring the Radicals everywhere
to put in nomination conservative men, if
they wish to defeat the Johnson party, who
see the importance, first of all, ot admitting
all the Spates to representation, and thus
bringing the : cohniry back under the tejM
guard of the Constitution, and rescuing it
from its present revolutionary condition

M. EMANUEL,
an*4-tf ; President,
FROM NEW YORK.
I« ia now certain that the people of North
Carolina lisTe rejected the amendments to
theif Constitution proposed by their Conven
tion at Its late sessiou. Returns from all but
twelve counties allow a majority for rejection
of 1,262, and the remaining counties are
likely lo increase it.
Prince Bismarck.—As a reward for the
consummate abilities displayed by the Prus
sian Prime Minister in the recent campaign
against Austria, he is to be elevated to the
rank of Prince. In this connection, we are
reminded of an anecdote concerning Bis
marck, which is told by tho Pail Mall Gazette.
In the year 1859, Napoleon and Count Ca-
vonr, the great Italian statesman, met i n the
south of France, and the conversation turn
ing upon European affairs, Napoleon told his
guest that there were three master minds in
Europe, “two of whom are present in this
room.” The absent one was Bismarck, whose
great qualites as a leader Napoleon, even at
that early day, dad perceived.
Cali
Report of Indian Massacres
fornia Denied.—General Grant has recently
received from General McDowell, command
ing the Department of California, an em
phatic contradiction of the report lately in
circulation to the effect that the Indians hud
assembled in great numbers at Paradise Val
ley, and had massacred a number of the white
residents. From representations received at
the General’s headquarters, it is believed that
these reports are without foundation in fact,
and that they were circulated in order to
secure the presence of more troops.
The Southern Radical Convention. —The

The object of the. original call for--^his con

Southern States, like General Hamilton, of
Texas, to express their approbation of the
measures of Congress, and exhibit their Ne
cessity.
at Ain Line Railroad.—The Gaines-
(Ga.) Eagle says Mr.' E: jl. 'Jhhnsoq
Tnc
vi'le
has just returned from a meeting of the offi
cers of the Air Line Railroad, held at New
York. He reports Unit the road will be
built from Atlanta to Gainesville, and that
from that point two surveys will be made—
one to Charleston, 8. C., via Anderson C. H ,
and the other to Charlotte or Saulsbury, N.
C., via Pendleton, S. C. This road, it is
claimed, will, when built, be the shortest
route from New York to New Orleans—a*
direct a tine, as practicable, and that the trip
between tbrkwo points ever it will be made
in fifty hours.
A New iNyENTjoN.—The needle gun has
met its maifb—a bullet-proof cloth iag for

Singula* Details of a Case of Cholera.

dier, just from Alabama was attacked with
cholera in 8LLcnis, Mo., last Thursday, -and
was taken to the health office. He begged
for something to quench his thirst, and was

The success of the Philadelphia Conven
tion, and the pdpular acceptance of its -pHit-
form, are evidently spreading dismay through
the Radical ranks.
THE PROCLAMATION.
Immediately upon the adjournment of the
great National Union Convention, which
gave to the country some promise of future
peace and tranquility, the President, by proc
lamation, declares that Texas, having Inaug
urated a local civil Government, is restored
to her place in the Union; and he crowns
the work of restoration with the welcome
announcement that “ the war is at an end,
and peace, order, tranquility and civil au
thority now exist in and throughout the
whole of the United States of America.” If
this act on the part of the President had the
effect of restoring the Union in fact, as well
as in name, it might be accepted by the
Southern people as good news. But it is
gratifying to know that the proclamation is
a complete abdication of all the military
poworo with which the President Was clothed
by Congress during the war. It-has been
stated that this consequence woulcl iiave
attended the previous proclamation, only
that it did not iDdnde Texas, tebicli
had been kept back in her preii'minary
steps for restoration by the treachery of
her Provisional Governor, Jack Hamilton.
The “insurrection” having been regarded by
Congress as one whole, and nof as ^ serkjcf
seperate insurrections in several 8latesifibfe
extraordinary powers did not expire ns long
as there was any place where the “insurrec
tion” had not been declared extinct.
There were only eleven States that seceded;
but in consequence of this local “insurrec
tion,'’ confined to one section of the country,
the President was empowered by Congress
to suspend the habeas corpus throughout the
United States, or any part of them, and’ (bis
power wu vested in him until,the end. of the
the “rebellion." But Texas having com
pleted the construction of a .loyal Stale Gov

as well as in all the others, the whole system

course of law jails jo the groi

A "\ Sanitary Reforms.
The. journals of this city, during the past
week,have furnished us with facts, which show
that We need a change in the means by which
the sahitary affairs of this city are now man
aged.
The members of our present “Board ot
Health” complain that they meet, time after
time, and make suggestions which are not
adopted by those having the power to enforce
them. The authority of the “Board” should
be supreme in any matter relating to the
health of the city.
Thousands of lives have undoubtedly been
saved in the city of New York, during the past
three months, by the excellent system by
which their sanitary affairs are managed.
Now, while we do not advocate such a
complicated and expensive system for a city
as small as Savannah, we respectfully sub
mit that the present arrangement has been
faithfully tried and found wanting, and pro
fiting by the experience of others, we desire
a better as soon as possible.
The Board of Health and the Health
Officer should be given full power to act. It
appears to us that they should be assisted by
a corps of inspectors, who might or might
not be members of their body, who should
each be allotted a district—divide the city
into eight or ten districts—whose duty it
should be to inspect carefully their respective
districts, and report all nuisauces immediately
to the Health Officer, who should fill out
printed orders to have the same abated, and
band them to the Chief of Police, who could
charge his subordinates wi;h their execution
Any citizen observing a filthy corner in
any yard, street or lane, ought to report the
same at once to the inspector of the district,
or Board, and the complaint would he at
tended to immediately.
The Board should have entire management
of the Dispensary, inspect its condition fre
quently—or appoint a committee to do so—
regplate the supplies of medicine, pass all
bills which are incurred to keep the city in
good sanitary condition, if, on examination
they are found correct, and enbmit them to
the City Council for their action.
It seems as if there are young medical
men enough in Savannah who would be wil
ling to act as inspectors, and take a pride in
keeping their respective districts in good
order. We believe several such are now
members of the Board of Health, and most
earnest and energetic in the discharge of
onnd, and things
rhieh - th*y Wbie
revert to ihet Condition frf Vrhi
before the war. This, at least, ia the inter
pretation of the proclamation as given by a
Northern journal supposed to be in the con
fidence of the Administration.
Let us all hope that it ^js correct, And that
c shall hate no fflhre military frlbnnals' in
wc
the South.
The following from the Quitman (Ga.)
Banner is replete with good suggestion--and
sound sense:
