AS much interest is felt throughout tho country in
regard to tho prospects of the cotton and other crops,
we wilt ho grateful to our pUnling frieuds and others

Fri'cdmen’s Affairs i«* Georgia.
Wo learn from a Washington papjr that
the rVeedim-u’s Bureau is in receipt of a re-
1, «rt from Col- C. C- Sibley, of the operations
of the bureau officers and the' condition of
the treediuen in this State duriug the
month of April. It represents that the
major;Iy of the freedmen are employed, and
generally at remunerative wages. The fear
is expressed, however, that many of them
may be throwu out tif employment in some
sections, owing to the inability of em
ployers to furnish supplies for carrying on
fanning operations. The report admits that
there is great destitution in this State, hut
asserts that the current reports are great ly
exaggerated. ,
We question very much the correctness of
this opinion, believing as we do that the
destitution is even greater and more general
than the public has been led to believe.
It is stated that there are now iu th;s
Stale ‘.146 schools for freedmen, with 154
teachers, and10,203 scaolars, which,
owing to the interest felt in education, aie
rapidly increasing-
Confiscation —It is gratifying to observe
the indignant protests of many of the North
ern Radical journals against tho villainous
confiscation scheme projected by Tbad.
Stevens and others of the extreme Radical
parly. In the eye of every thoughtful man,
says the New York Times, confiscation nd-
mils of only one interpretation. It is the
equivalent of goueral spoliation, bloodshed
mid anarchy. There cau he no liberty with
out i rder, and uo order without ample pio-
leclinn for the rights of property. Invade
-■■ese rights, and inculcate the idea that one
cIhs ' , ihall be permitted to seize and enjoy
JUI.., .. •
from that moment the South will become i
second Sail Domingo, to end only in the ex
termini,tioi* of whiles or blacks ti.:- — --
..moment of the case, but it is
t.e a , , ,
the truth; and the men who go aboiu t
miliarizing the negroes with the demand,
and persuading them of its justice, should
be dealt with by tlm military commanders n
incendiaries.
Food fob the South.—The Charleston
News of Monday m ikes the gratifying an
nouncement that a cargo of corn had just
arrived in port for the destitute people ol
that State, and another was daily expected
Our suffering people will be glad to learu
also that the purchase and distribution
the supplies authorized by Congre>s iu
appropriation of half a million of dollars to
the starving of tho South has been com
menced by Colonel Eaton, who has been
selected by tho Froedmen’s Bureau for tliai
duty. Cargoes of provisions will be at oner
forwarded to ihe points where ilie sufferin
is the greatest, aud the shipments will he
continued from time to time until the ap
pripriation is exhausted.
The Reconstruction Law.—It is stated
that the first draft of the Attorney-General's
opinion on the scope of the disfranchising
clause of the reconstruction hill, was sub
mitted to the Cabinet on the 30.h ultimo.
Decision on some of the points whs, it is
understood, reserved to another meeting,
when all the members should be present,
The Washington correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Gazette gays:
“The general purpose of the President is
to give the law the most liberal construction
possible. The circular will probably oblige
General Sheridan to re-open his registration
list”
R«P« RlViVMi
It is Hot good to be too sanguine, because
it adds to the bitterness of disappointment if
ur anticipations are not realized ; but we
cannot fotbear expressing our gratification at
the very favorable acoounts coming up from
all quarters of the South, a* wc ^ R8 ^' e
great West, concerning the growing crops.
They warrant our suffering people in con
soling themselves with the prospect ofpleniy
in a few weeks,'however great the scarcity
uow The news that wheat is growing mag
nificently in the North, and that cotton and
corn are flourishing In the South should in
spire us all with hope and encouragement
As a matter of fact, the material inleiests of
the South have been more seriously damaged
by the failure of crops than by the delay In
respect to reconstruction. The industry ol
the South has been prostrated by the war
and the droughts, and our people should un
derstand this fact, and bear in mind that it will
take time and labor to restore it. Restora
lion to the Union mightlend some assistance,
but money and muscle must extricate ns ftom
our greatest troubles. The war and the failure
of the crops have thrown the South back at
least ten years. These evils have not only
killed and destroyed, hut in their wake have
lift desolation and ruin ; aud these cannot
be removed iu a day, nor in a year. The
South will ba fortunate if it fully recovers
from ihe disasters of the last six years within
the next fifseeu years. Kuergy, perseverance
and industry, such as our people' are now
exhibiting, cau make the desert bloom, hut
only with the aid of time. All the help that
i faithless Congress could have given would
uot have restored the South ils prosperity,
ind ibis is the point we should all understand
mil appreciate. We must depend upon our-
Ivcs tor tiie regeneration aud material ies-
loratioii ot the eouutry. Immigration ami
foreigu capital would aid us to some extent,
but wc must consider that our only reliauce
—our only Bubsiautial. dependence—lies in
our own industry. It is worse than folly
to rely upon Congress, the Supreme Court,
or the President. The latter could give us
but little help, if they had it in their power.
The Southern people must rebuild their pros
perity in the same way aud by Ihe same
means that they originally built it. They
must all, men, women, aud chil
dren, go to work. Many of us must
throw off the habits of indolence which we
acquired under the slave system, and bnug
out the latent energy aud ambition which
have been slumbering in iuacliou. We
must, and will, show to the world that the
charge is false which conveys the reflection
that all the enterprise of this country is con
fined to the Northern halt of the United
btatoB. '1 hank God, we have the ability to
build up our prosperity iu the course of a
lew years, and we should uow show that we
have the will and the ambition to do il. —
Let us turn away Irom tlm adventitious aud
unreliable helps to which we have made al
lusion, adopt the policy that we have sug
jested, place our reliance upon our own
efforts, aud within a reasonable time the
South will stand side by side witli the North
in wealth, influence aud power.
Registration la LonUlaaat
The New Orleans Times, which Is a wattn
advocate for reconstruction, is vehement in
its complaints of tho operations of the regia*
traiion officers in that city
This disgraceful exhibition of the utter
trampling upon all law-, right and decency
known as the registration in this city—is still
continued. More than half of the white citi
zens fully qualified under the law are turned
away, whilst every negro who applies is im-.
mediately Accepted and registered. Natu
ralized citizens are not only required to pro
duce their papers, but to leave them With tne
registrars,, with a very dim prospect of ever
getting them back. Old citizens wtm have
lived here a quarter of a century, 1 and who
pay individually more taxes than the who
Radical party in the State pay collectively,
are turned away because they have been at
some remote period of their lives, School
Directors or Aldermen under tho City uov-
ernment, and are suspected of having sym
pathized with the retellion. But few natu
ralized' citizens are registered on any terms
except that of adherence to the Radicals
that virtue will purge all vices. Renegades,

Defining his Position.—The “Fat Con
tributor,” while at Nashville recently, was
r« quested to define his position on politics,
which he did in a letter to “Johu Happy,”
of the Nashville “Bauuer,” as follows:
T am .aware of the necessity of knowing
just where a man stands iu the times which
try men’s soles—as well ds the upper leather.
To begiu witli, I am an old Henry Olay
Whig, of the Polk School. I believed iu

they fired on our flag, together with several
of our flagstones, when 1 went in for a vigo
rous prosecution of peace. I am in favor ol
women’s rights, if it is a good looking wo
man and she writes to me. I don't know
much about the Monroe Doctrine, aud as fur
horse doctoring, I don’t know anything at
all. 1 wouldn’t vole to oblige a Mormon lo
have more tbau one wife, and am opposed lo
introducing cholera into the territories, i
go in for a tax on waterfalls, and am willing
to allow chignons representation iu Congress
on the bads of population. Filial y, 1 am
iu favor of allowing the uegro lo vole in tin
youth—it is the only way to make ticusou
odorous.''
Horrible Outkaoe.—The Mobile Times
gives the details of a horrible outrage com
mitted by negroes upon a family named Pe
ters, living on Dog river, at no great distance
from Mobile. The brutes broke into the
house at night, beat the father aud sons until
they were insensible, outraged the mother
and daughter—the latter a girl twelve years
of age—stole some thirteen hundred dollars
in gold and currency, and made their escape
Every effort is being made to capture the
fiends and bring them to summary punish
ment
Significant.—There is a general cry by
the laboring classes in all the Northern and
Western cities for bread and employment-
The Boston Herald estimates that over two
thousand meD have been thrown out of em
ployment by the closing of the bar-rooms- in
that city, aud at least five hundred stores'in
the city proper, and East and South Boston,
have a ‘To let’’ placed on the shutters.
Restitution.— Duriug the war, some iof
the Federal soldiers stationed at Pensacola,
Fla., went into the Episcopal church a)id
destroyed the organ. The Observer savi a
subscription was recently taken up in nine
of'the Northern cities, and a-new organ pur
chased and sent out to replace the one
destroyed. The new organ was up and fur
nished the music for Easter Sunday.
Exempt from Taxation.—The Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue has decided tljat
wagons, carts and drays, made to be used
for farming or lumber purposes, and baggage
express wagons, made for carrying freight
exclusively, and not to be used as pleasure car
riages, are by act of May 2d, .1867, exemjpl
from taxation.

to the memoqr^f the philanthropic en

IVm. H. Scott vs. tub Central Railroad
and Banking Company.—The New York
Times says: •
An action of much Interest lo Northern
men holding stock in Southern railroads und
banks, was tried yesterday before Judge Da
vis without a jury. The action is entitled
Win. 11. Scott os. The Central Railroad aud
Banking Company of Georgia, and was
brought to recover the sum of $5,440, the
aggregate amount ef certain .dividends made
by the Company-between July, 1801, and
January, 1865. The plaintiff is the assignee
of eighty-five shares ot the Company’s stock
formerly owned by Mr. Edward B. Crowell.
The defence was twofold—first, that no de
mand bad been made; and secondly, that the
Company offered to pay in Confederate mo
ney, which offer was not accepted. The
Court held that the defendants bad waived a
demand by writing a certain letter, and de
cided to render judgment for all the divi
dends declared except the two or three last
named, in which by the resolution of the
Company it was particularly stated that the
money was to be paid in Confederate notes
or bunds. The ense will be taken to tho
General Term.
The President on the Military Command
ers.—The Washingtou correspondent of the
Charleston Courier says :
“The President, and indeed all the mem
bers of his Cabinet, express their gratifica
tion at the fact, now fixed, that the ten ex
cluded Southern States are now hastening to
reorganize under the laws, harsh as they are,
of Congress. They are hopeful that the re
presentation of these Slates in Cougress will
fuvorab-y affect the temper and policy of the
Radical party, and that it may soon lead to
financial, commercial, and political reforms.
“The President said to-day that il was ne
cessary to tame down the military command
ers who govern the provisional States in their
several military distriots. Their wings must
be cut a little, lest they take too high a flight.
A law ia itself arbitrary, mortifying and vin-
dic'ive, should be so construed and adminis
tered as to impose as little hardship upon
those subjected to it as possible."
Senator DtxoN on Senator Johnson.—
Senator Dixon, in his recent speech in Hart
ford, Connecticut, gave the following opin-
ion of Senator Johnson's vote for the South
ern Military Bill :
“The saddest excuse, the most lamentable
reason for consenting to this legislation, was
that given by a distinguished Senator from
Maryland (Mr. Johuson.) I aru by no
means sure he was not right, when he said
he was compelled to vote for the act, though
utterly opposed to it—because he feared, if
this act was not passed, some more terrible
outrage would be inflicted on the South, in
the Bbape of confiscation laws and other
measures which should deprive them of the
little they have left. A sad reason, indeed,
if true! It is as if your neighbor should
permit your bouse to be robbed and bnrned,
lest if he should interfere to prevent it your
family might be murdered.”
The Montgomery Mail, in speaking of the
petition of Georgia to the Supreme Court,
remarks: - V
If the Court decides for Gov. Jenkins, it
decides that the Congress are traitors; if it
decides against Gov. Jenkins, it decides that
that virtue will purge an »iw , , °. k \
who fought in the rebel ranks and deserted
when the cause became desperate and joined
the Radicals—even some who were puuisned
by Bullar and Banks for their rebellions ex
cesses—and who possessed the disqualifica
tion cf having held Federal or State ofhees
previous to the wnr, are admitted to the
honor (!) of registration without questions
But why dwell on the enormities of this
miserable larce ? Are those who have got
up this shameless scheme to delraud the
people of this city, and trample upon the
acts of Congress, weak and credulous
euough to imagine that they can profit
therefrom ? They will soon awake to a full
comprehension of the infamy, tho detesta
tion, the bitter hostility ol all tho honest aud
respectable of the community, which alone
they will secure by their lawless course.
Let them persist therein, and the lime is not
distant when the word “registrar” will fix
upon the luckless iucumbeut of that office a
stigma which will accompany him lo the
grave and descend to his posterity-
Alderman Kaiser, an old and solid citizen,
who has a large aud material interest in the
welfare of New Orleans, attempted unsuc
cessfully to register himself as a voter a day
or two since in the Fourth District. He
offered to take the prescribed oath—which
indeed is all that should he required, lor
those who unworthily take that oath me
liable to a prosecution for perjury—bat the
registrars would not accept him as a voter
on such terms, and held his case uuder ad
visement. It is very evident that the regis
trars exceed their duty when they preveul
such men as Alderman Kaiser, aud others
whom we have named, from registering,
aud for so gross and partisan a denial of
justice they will assuredly be held re.-pon
sible.
The Bloodhound Party.
The desire to destroy our enemies, which
was cultivated under the name of patriotism
during the war ot the rebellion, was like
some poisons which, when used excessively
as medicine, hold the system subjugated to
iheir malignant effects alter the disease has
subsided. Hatred to the people of i he re
bellious Stales, cherished and stimulated by
the necessities of tho war, may have con
tributed to its successful conclusion. Peace
has uow prevailed for two full years; not an
armed foe has existed in ull that time; yet
this ferocious spirit still subsists and is
cherished as commenuanle by that parly
which assumed the more particular respon
sibility in prosecutiug tne war. The desire
still exists ia thu minds of some, aud is
forced by partisau ties upon others, to
punish, humiliate and make * miserable their
fellow-beings, whose crime was that before
and during the war they held political
opinions different from those of that parly,
and made a gallant fight to maintain them.
They struggled, suffered aud bled for their
faith, until overcome and subdued by su
perior numbers. Then they frankly ac
knowledged themselves vanquished, yielded
the victory, aud gracefully submitted them
selves to their late aulagonists without re
serve.
Did the conquering party, like a brave
man, show its noble generosity to a fallen
foe after victory ? On the contrary, has not
Congress, under parly discipline, adopted,
lrom lime to time, continuously, ever since
the peace, a series of measures oppressive
the subdued people t invention nos been
exhausted in inflicting measures of degreda-
tiou upon the uuhappy inhabitants of the
South; lo Bithtlue their spirit and bumble
them in tile sight of their former slaves;
even lo subject them to the domination ol
those slaves, has been an object of special
gratification to those devotees of revenge
The gentler influences of human symjialuy,
the kindly charily which misfortune inspires,
the love of liberty which proudly tolerates
oppoiitiou in opinion, the spirit of Christian
love and charily—ail give way, and the great
muss of the party joins the cuase, led on by
the party trumpet blowu by Suuiuer, Ste
vens, Wilde, and such as they, who lead the
hunt aud d' lnund the further humiliatiou ol
fallen antagonists.
The brutal instinct ot the bloodhcuud
feels no siiitimeutof pity iu pursuing bis
prey. But these, though conscious of a
uigher human soul, make pretense uf zeal
for the uegro to stifle their own conscience
and for excuse to the world in adopting the
merciless iustiucts of the bloodhound in
hunting down their fellow-citizens of the
South.—A 'em York. World.
NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Fram
Washington, May 7.—The case of the
Commonwealth of Virginia vs. West Vir
ginia is up to day and still on argument.
The case raises the question, of tba status of
Virginia as a State of the Unioo, as West
Virginia denies the right of her Legislature
to make any valid enactments. The imme
diate question is jurisdiction over certain
counties claimed lo have been transferred by
fraudulent representations. A decree is
asked reinstating these counties to old Vir
ginia. The argument will ptobably occupy
two more days. Stanton, Allison and Rev-
erdy Johnson represent West Virginia, and
Andrew Hooter and Benjamin R. Curtis, of
Boston, represent the Old Dominion.
Among the President’s appointments to
the Naval Academy at Annapolis are Thos.
S. Plunkett, of Teunessee; Frank L. Clark,

A NEW AND GRAND EPOCH IN MED
ICINE.
Da. Maggikl Is the founder of a uew Medical Sys
tem 1 The quautitarians, whose vast Internal doses
enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores health aad
appetite, with from one to two of his extraordinary
Pills, aud euros the most virulent sores with a box
or so oT hie wonderful aad all-heal In* Salve. These
two great epecifles of the Doctor are fart supersed
ing all tlic stereotyped nostrum* of the day. Bxtra-
ordinary cures by Maqipel’s Pills and Salve have
opened the eyes of the public to tbe Inefficiency of
the feo-caUed) remedies of others, and upon which
people have so long blindly depended. Haggle!*
Pills are not ol the class that are swallowed by the
dozeu, and of which every box full taken creates an
absolute necessity for anoi her. One or two of Hag
glers Pills suffices to place the bowels In perfect or
der, tone tbe stomach, create an appetite, aud ren
der the spirits light and buoyant.
There U no griping, and no reaction In tbe form
of constipation. .
If the liver Is affected, Its functions are restored
and ol the nervous system U feeble,.it Ia Invigorated.
This last quality makes the mediciaea very desirable
for the wants of delicate females.
Ulcerous aud eruptivo diseases are literally extin
guished by the disinfectant power ofHaggiel'e Salve.
