THE JiATE COURT OF INQUIRY—
MAYOR AND MUNICIPAL. AUTHORI
TIES VINDICATED.
Iu another column will be found the offi
cial report of the Military Committee, ap
pointed for the investigation of the charges
preferred against the Mayor and municipal
authorities of Savannah, with the final order
of General Meade, approving the report ot
the lioard and honorably acquitting the ac
cused.
It will be remembered that iu our an
nouncement of the appointment of the Mili
tary Board, we expressed the opinion that
the action pt Gen. Meade was prompted by
his convictions of official duty, aud a willing
ness on liis part to give our municipal au
thorities au opportunity through &q official
investigation to vindicate themselves from
the charges preferred against them. In this
opinion we are fully sustained by the result,
so honorable to our worthy Mayor and his
associate officials, aud so disgraceful to the
miserable miscreants, who, through misrep
resentation and falsehood, have sought to
promote their own personal advantage.
We congratulate his Honor the Mayor,
our municipal Board, and our citizens at
large, whose interests were so deeply periled
at the overwhelming aud disgraceful defeat
of the vile plotters against truth, justice, the
good order, honor, and prospeirty of our city.
When it is borne iu mind that in the inves
tigation of the charges which occupied sev
eral days, the Miyor, with the counsel and
advice ol' his able City Attorney, Hon. E. J.
Harden, rested ttio case mainly, if not en
tirely upon the testimony of the complain
ants, under the scrutiny of the honorable
and 'Intelligent 'gentleman' 'comprising the
Military Board, the result will be regarded
as all the more honorable to the accused, as
it is the more overwhelmingly disgraceful to
the accusers.
We cannot close our brief notice of this
case, without bearing testimony to the strict
ly just, impartial aud courteous manner in
which it was conduced by the officers com
prising the Board. Nor can we refrain an
acknowledgement of the courteous and
manly spirit which characterises the order
of Gen. Meade, conveying to the Mayor and
mnuicipal authorities, through his Assistant
Adjutant General, his approval of the re
commendations of the Board.
The Gkoroia Cask.—The Georgia case
came up in the Supreme Court on Friday
last.
Mr. David Dndley Field, for the petition
ers, moved for leave to file a bill for an in-
junction upon Generals Grant and Mr,ade
aud Capt. Rockwell.
On mo ion of Mr. Carpenter, of Wisconsin,
for the defense, the whole question ot the
legality of the laws would come np on mo
tion, aud he a^ked that the argument be set
for next Friday. The court so ordered, and
Mr. Fieid filed his briefs.
Idle BELLiGEUEscr.—TheN. Y. Times, re
ferring to tbe belligerent talk of tbe New
York Tribune, says : "It will be eminently
wise and prudent for politicans, editors, gov
ernors, militia officers, and people in general,
to stay quietly at home, keep cool and at
tend to their own business. When they are
wanted for purposes of war, they will un
doubtedly be sent for.” The misfortune is
that when the bellicose writers and talkers
are " sent for” they don’t come. That was
the experience of the late contest, as it is
likely to bo of future ones, if the country
permits itself to be embroiled in any by the
mischievous rant of " soldiers in peace and
citizens in war.”
THJB THBORY AND UNIFORM PttAC-
TICH OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
The following it a copy of a document
laid before President Lincoln, in 1864. We
commend it to the attention of all oar
readers:
The theory of our government, the early
and uniform practical construction thereof,
is that the President should be aided by a
Cabinet Council agreeing with him in politi
cal principle and general policy, aud that all
important measures and appointments should
be the result of their combined wisdom and
deliberation. This most obvious and neces
sary condition of things, without which no
administration can succeed, we and the
public believe does not exist, and therefore
such selections and changes in its members
should be made as will secure to the country
unity of purpose and action in all material
and essential respect?, more especially in
the pre u ent crisis of public affair?.
The Cabinet should be exclusively com
posed of statesmen who are the cordial, re
solute, unwavering supporters of the prin
ciples and purposes above mentioned.

8. C. Pomeroy, of Kansas.
L M. Morrill, W. P. Fessenden, of Maine.
H. B. Autbony, of Rhode Island.
J. Dixon, L. S. Foster, of Connecticut.

C. Sumner, H. Wileon, of Massachusetts.
D K. Clark, J. P. Hale, of New Hamp
shire.
P. King, Ira Harris,.of New York.
D. Wilmot, E. Cowan, of Pennsylvania.
B. F. Wade, J. Shernmu, of Ohio.
J. It. Doolittle, T. O Ilowe, of Wisconsin.
Z. Chandler, of Michigan.
These were the then Senators in Congress
of the States named, and the occasion which
drew this emphatic expression from them
was the well known disagreement which
existed between the President and the Post
master-General (Mr. Blair) on certain ques
tions connected with his administration.
The result was the removal of Mr. Blair,
and the appointment of a person more fa
vorably disposed in his place. According
to their own testimony, the President, in
dismissing Mr. 8tanton, is acting iu accord
ance with the theory aud uniform practice
of our Government, aud is therefore clearly
right. Never before was it disputed that
the President had the right to remove a
member of his Cabinet who had become per
sonally or politically obnoxious to him.
The bitterness of the Radical leaders to
wards the President, can be attributed to
nothing but hatred for the Southern people,
and party spirit carried to the extreme of
insanity. If Mr. Johnson had usurped one
thousandth part of the power that has been
admittedly usurped by Congress, he might
deserve impeachment. But with what de
cency, with what consistency can Congress
mpeach and try him V That unpopular body
is8teeped to the lips in corruption,in extrava-
gance.in usurpation of ungrauted powers,and
oommitted every outrage included in the con
stitutional phrase of " high crime and misde
meanors ?’’ With what sort of reason, there
fore, can they accuse aud judge the Chief
Magistrate of the Nation ? Shall the faith
less arraign the faithful; the guilty try the
inuocenl ? Certainly they should not, and
would not if the people were rightly atten
tive to the principles of justice and to their
own dignity and interests. Anil yet Con
gress is proceeding to impeach and, perhaps,
depose the President, put Ben Wade in his
place, and then " run the machine,” a9 they
call administering the Government just as
they please. Oue Radical Congressional
leader says that “ Mr. Johnson ought to be
impeached, and hurled from the While
House, as the devil was hurled over the bat
tlements of heaven,” and others have used
menaces equally violent aud disgraceful.
Was there ever more revolutionary language,
or more andacious threats nsed by the Jaco
bins of Paris, during the horrors of the
French saturnalia ot 1793, when, as Byron
expresses it—
France got drunk « n blood, to vomit crime.”
The Johnson Club of New York, which
had its list of members aud other persons
seized by the Radical police has resumed
business. It is asserted that the seizure
was made by orders from 8ecretary Stan
ton.
Pbopiiecy Fulfilled.—"If the infernal
fanatics aud abolitionists over get power in
their hand?, they will override tbe Constitu
tion, stt the Supreme Court at defiance,
change and make laws to suit themselves, Isy
violent hands on those who differ with them
in their opinions or dare question their in
fallibility, aud finally bankrupt the country
aud deluge it with blood.”—Daniel Webster,
March 9, 1850.

Age, of 24th ultimo, in perhaps a dozen dif

In accordance with the decision reached
by the National Democratic Committee,
which assembled at Washington ou the 22d
inal., a call has been issued inviting tbe del
egates appointed from all the Stales of
the Union to meet in the city of New York
on the 4th of July next, for tbe purpose of
nominating candidates for President and
Vice-President of the United States.
Tbe basis of representation, as fixed by
the last National Democratic Convention, is
dou le tbe number of Senators and Rcpre
sentatives in Congress of each State under
the last apportionment.
Each State is invited to send delegates ac
cordingly.
Tub business men of Vicksburg are taking
legal steps to contest the payment of
the Convention tax, and tbe Commanding
General has declined to interfere in its col
lection, either for or against it. The effect
of this is nearly the same as if he had di
rectly refused to sustain tbe Convention in
this (to them) vital matter.
Financial.—Mr. Sherman, Chairman ot
the Senate Finance Committee, made an
elaborate speeoh on Thursday last upon his
pending bill. He concluded by giving no
tice that if it was rejected by Congress, he
Bhould use his influence to make the five-
twenties payable in 14 Greenbacks.” It is
said that tbe Finance Committee are not
committed to Mr. Sherman’s scheme and
will be guided very much by Mr. Fessenden,
whose views are regarded as authority in the
Senate. The clause making contracts pay
able in gold legal, is considered as proper,
and .there is little doubt that it will receive
l'avorabfe consideration.
Tub Washington Jacobins, beinj engaged
in destroying tbe governmental fabric that
arose under the fostering, care of George
Washington, U is no mallet for surprise that
they allow foaTitrate residence, lying's few
miles down the river, to go to wreck. Boss
Verner Jeffrey, Vice Bsgentof Kentucky for
the Mt. Vernon Ladies’ Association, has is
sued an appeal to the people of that State
for a few hundred dollars to-keep Mt Ver
non and the Association from rain. She says
Miss Canningham, the Regent Is at Mt
Vernon, broken in health, rained in fortune,
and in want of the cemrnon eomforts of J i/e.

Woodward referred to tfact that ten
States were excluded from-representation in
Otragresa, atad he denied the right of the

Mubdeb Will Out.— Cincinnati, Feb. 27.
Patrick Ross, who some eight years «go
murdered a lady of rank in Ireland, for her
property, and for whom tbe British Govern
ment offered £750, was arrested in this city
several days ago. To-day he attempted sui
cide by catting his throat, and is in a critical
condition.
A Good Hit.—In the House ot Represen
tatives on Wednesday, Mr. Mnngen, Demo
crat, asked leave to offer a resolution recit
ing that tbe welfare of the country, aud
especially of the dominant party at this par
ticular juncture, imperatively demand the
admission of at least one Slate under the re
construction acts; that it had been ascer
tained tbst many of the Alabama freedmen
had deposited their ballots in the post offices
contrary to the instructions of the military
commander ; and declaring that it is highly
improper that such ballots should be lost,
and that, without further delay, Alabama be
admitted into the Union ; aud that any mem-
bes of any party, “ or any other man,” vot
ing against the resolution be adjudged guilty
of high crimes -and misdemeanors, and be
immediately impeached.
Mr W&shbnrne, of Illinois, interrupted
the reading of the resolution, and Mr. Chan
ter objeoted to its being received.
GsNBBAiji Emory s Testimony.— WasKiny-
ton February 27—1:30 P. M.—General
Emory astonished Radicals to-day by testi
fying that the only fears he had' heard ex
pressed among officers was that a treason
able organization known as the Grand Army
of the Republic had been forming.—Dis
patch to Baltimore (Janette.
Another Democratic Victory.—A Cairo
(Illinois) dispatoh of the 25th instant says :
"There W*« the most exciting charter elec
tion to day that ever occurred in Cairo. Lo
cal affairs and tbe candidates created great
interest, bnt the reoent Washington news
seemed to set our people wild, and Demo
crats worked as never Democrats worked
before. Last,.year a Radical was elected
Mayor. To-day the entire Democratic ticket
was elected by majorities ranging from 200
to 573. T^is is our answer to traitorous
impeachere.”

It may be said that my Company used the building
on the 14th and 16th, before leaving for Charleston
on the ICtb. and that I at least owe for those two
days; but os the Savanuah Theatro Co. owe mo fuily

Gentlemen—I am well pleased with theresnltof the
se of tile “Double Refined Poudretlo” on my crops,
tried it on both corn and cotton, and am satisfied
Wherever it was applied iho yield was more than
double what it would have been without it. I regret
exceedingly my not uantug it m«»re extensively the
present year, bpt will try to make up my loss by pur-
chaaing a larger quantity next spring. I regard it as
tbe cheapest, most reliable, and exsiest mauaged fer
tilizer within my knowledge, and cheerfully recom
mend it (as I have tried it thoroughly) to tlie farmers
of this section, and particularly to those planting cot
ton* from life fact of its causing it to mature from ten
days to two weeks earlier than it would without the
ese ofthe Pondrette. I also used it ou my garden,
gad found it of much bone -t to all kinds of plants.
