Uft AX ClrtiiULATIOi IN CITY AID COUNTRY.
TUESDAY. MAY 5. 1868.
THE UbURPEHS DIVIDING THE
SPOILS IN ADVANCE.
Tbe York San, regarding the convic
tiou i.d deposition of President Johnson as
altogether probable, publishes the names of
the? prominent R juge-et-Noir-Republicans,
who re likely to constitute the Cabinet of
his l rcessor, Mr. Ben. Wade, as follows:
S e ctary of State— Horace Greeley, New
Yoj
T- asury— Capt. E. B. Ward, Michigan.
U .-—George H. Thomas, Tennessee.
A '\i/—Hannibal Hamlin, Maine.
Jr. .rlor—ltafus B Bollock, Georgia.
pn.tmaster-General—5. W. Geary, Pennsyl-
V&L
Attorney-General—James 8peed, Kentucky.
Ii will be seen that R. B. Bullock, of
Georgia, occupies a place in the picture, his
experience as an Express Agent rendering
him peculiarly qualified to manage interior
affairs.
Mr. Stanton, it is understood, is to be Min
ister to England.
The editor of the Son upprovoo tho caste
of the Cabinet, but thinks Mr. Greeley would
be better placed as Minister to the Court of
St. James. He thinks the peace philosopher
of the Tribune would be received in England
by the common people with $n enthusiasm
which has greeted no American Minister in
Europe—not even Dr. Franklin ; and they
would insist on the immediate adjustment of
all difficulties with our Government. His
benevolent face, with the masses, would be
stronger than all the tiuess and art ot old-
fashioned diplomacy.”
The conrteon8, polished, modest and vera
cious Albino of the Tribune would certainly
be a fit representative of his party at the
English Court, but whether his presence
there or anywhere else where he would be
brought in contact with gentlemen of charac
ter and refinement would reflect credit on the
American name is hardly a question of
doubt. O tempera, 0 viores !
AN INFAMOUS ACT OF TYRANNY.
By our dispatch from Charleston it will be
seen that General Canby, the military com
mander of that District, has issued an order,
the effect of which is to force the people of
South Carolina to retain in their employ,
and pay lazy, worthless, thieving, incendi
ary blacks, in whom they can have no trust
or confidence, or be taxed for their support.
Such au order is virtually offering a premium
for idleness, profligacy and lawlessness, and
would disgrace the most barbarous despot
on earth.
THE ELECTION—THE TEST OATH.
We have no further election returns, and
it will probably be several days before
enough is known to enable us to come to a
confident conclusion as to the result of the
contest for Governor. There is, however,
no doubt that a decided majority of Demo
crats have been elected to the General As
sembly.
The Military Board appointed by General
Meade is now engaged at Atlanta in count
ing the votes and investigating the frauds
and irregularities in the election, and we
have redable information that the gentlemen
comprising the Board are performing their
duty with fairness and thoroughness. We
learn that new elections will be ordered in
Irwin and Telfair, where no election was
held, and in other counties, where the for
mer election was invalidated by gross frauds
and irregularities. We also learn that the
test oatU will not be applied to members of
the Legislature and State officers elect.
A man named Nappehegi has bjen arrested
in New York for larging Reverdy Johnson’s,
name to ibe amount of $50,000. UA.fFAi
A copy of Eliot’s Indian Bible, a work
which no living man can read, was sold a»
auction in New York, Tuesday, for the ex
traordinary sum of $1,130. This is believed
to be the highest price ever paid for a print
ed work in this country.
Greeley is becoming disgusted with the
Impeachment trial, and elegantly terms it
“an avalanche of gab.” To the Managers he
says: “Gentlemen, yon are making very
stupi J speeches! No one reads them !
Taey will not affect a vote one way or
another. This waste of time and endless
stream of ‘gab’ are merely evidence of vani
ty, and you have no right to thrust yo ur-
selves in the way when at a time every hour
of delay is an jpjury to the country.”
The receipts from the whiskey tax, which
should be eight millions, at least, per month,
have fallen to one millioo. The New York
Times says Philadelphia has for the last six
mouths monopolized the markets of the
New England States, selling whiskey free
from tax for from $1 35 to $1 50 per gallon
in Boston and in all the New England cities.
One house alone in Philadelphia has sold
more whiskey free of tax within the last year
than has paid tax in the whole State of Penn
syhauia.
Blasphemy.—The New York World calls
attention to a declaration made by Thaddeus
Stevens, which will Shock every man who reads
it. The old reprobate said that Mr. Johnson’s
crime was “baser than the betrayal by Judas
Iscariot, who betrayed only a single individual.
If the people of this country were such as they
once were, this blasphemous language would
not only condemn its author to perpetual in
famy, but seriously damage the cause in whose
advocacy it was uttered, and the party which
would acknowledge such ft man as a leader.
General Beauregard Efts written a note to
the New Orleans Bee, in which he indignantly
protests against the slander uttered by the
\V ashington correspondent of the Boston Com
monwealth, that while visiting the National
Cemetery at Arlington Heights, he scoffed at
the words inscribed on the memorial vault.
Remarking that a true-hearted soldier feels
the same respect for the grave of a gallant
enemy as for that of a brother-in-arms, he
says that he has yet to learh that a single Fed
eral grave has ever been desecrated by a true
Confederate soldier.
Dbath op an Old Citizen.—Oar readers
will be pained to learn of the death of Mr.
Nathan C. Monro, one of oar oldest and
most respected citizens, which occurred at
his residence in Vineville, yesterday (morn
ing, between nine and ten o’clock.
Mr. Munro was a native of the Bute of
New York, but came to Macon in 1826, since
which time he has resided here, and no citi
zen has probably contributed more than he
towards building the city of his adoption.
He was one of the. earliest friends cf Ghrist
Church, and was one of its Wardens for
mote than twenty years, being its Senior
Warden at the time of his death. He was,
selves to the facts, but employing the
sirne words in the same order in
their narration of them. One of the most
lejiarkabie illusrrations of this very won
derful phenomenon that has fallen under our
obs> rvaiion since the famous description of
“Si-ring,” published in the Republican some
ten years ago, has jnst occurred, and as a
matter of curious literary interest we give it
to our readers:

the letter of the Republican’s correspondent,
of which the editorial is an abstract, as it is

Letter From Washington.
[special correspondence of the news and
herald]
Washington, April 30, 1868.
The “impeachment situation,” under which
head is comprised nearly till the news in the
capital, is considered to have changed A
week ago hardly any one believed the Presi
dent would be acquitted. All confidence
had been shaken, for it.was admitted that the
desperate condition of the Radicals demand
ed a desperate remedy, and nr.tbiDg else, it
was said, would save tbe sinking fortunes of
that party. There has been a tremendous re
action, and to-day the Radicals who were
arrogant m their demeanor over the antici
pated removal of their hated foe “roar meek
as a sucking dove.” How. when, or why, this
alteration not one can answer, but. that the
aspect is altogether improved does cot admit
of a doubt. The'speeches of Groesbeck and
Evarts, which are conceded to be of extraor
dinary force and effect, have had their share
in impressing the public With a cleaver view
of the strength of Mr. Johnson’s position; for
they demonstrate that, not only the law, bill
the whole practice of the government justi
fied his action, and that every step he took
was in accordance therewith. But the great
cause of this reaction is that the passion, and
hate, and malignity, in which it was couceiv
ed has exhausted itself, aud that reason, and
justice, and a lingering regard for decency is
being awakened in the mind of the people.
The unscrupulous projectors and managers
of this persecution calculated their unholy
purpose could be cjnsuinmated without
he ordinary de’ay, which is a part of ali
judicial prcceeding3; that a partizau
senate, in the emergencies of its party, woukl
not dare offer opposition, butru3h it through
as other measures have* been rushed througa
—and in the hurry, the excitement and ili‘*
passion of the h ur, honor aud even eon-
-deuce itself would be stifled aud the foul
deed be carried through, to a successful end.
But some of these men who have never
flinched at measures of political policy,
pause when they assume ihe chaiacter of
Judge or Juror or both, as iu the present h-
sue. They have refuted io become the mere
tools of Butler and Bingham aud the Sena
torial conspirat >rs of these miserable dema
gogues, aud with tbe assistance of the Dero
ocrats and Conservatives have bten euabltd
to check Ihe former in their headlong sueed.
With the Chief Justice as their leader, they
not only invested tbe case with ihe dignity
which was suited to the occasion aud the
place, but have thwarted the couspintlois in
their purpose of a hasty trial and assured
conviction and removal. How these Conser
vative Republicans may vole on the final
question, that event aloue will determine.
Bat their prudent aud decent action hitherto
gives lise to hopeful anticipalious. A Radi
cal Senator classed as doubtful ” said to
oigbthe thought he and his “colleagues
were in a tight place and they heanily wish
ed they had never heard of ihe Impeachment
CBse.” They are in a dilemma—“they arc-
damned if tney do, and they are damned if
they don’t.”
The brief reference of Mr. Boutwell to tbe
withdrawal of Jerry Black as one of
the counsel of ihe President, h d to
Quite an episode yesterday and tbe
day before. Judge Nelson defended
the course of the President iu the Alta Vela
Island case aud aniiuadverted on Judge
Black and by implication on tho Managers
for endorsing a paper to the President
which asked that the claimants of said
island should be protected in their property
which had been wrested from them bv the
authorities of San Dotniugo. Gen. Butler
replied to the remarks of Mr. Nelson, ac
cusing him of giviDg a wrongful dale
to the paper, which purported to have been
signed, March y, 1868. Butler alleging he.
and Logan bad signed it in February befoie
the impeachment proceedings were inaug
urated. Nelson retorted in similar language,
but added with warmth he was re-ponsib:e
tor it “here or elsewhere.” The matter
ended by Nelson beiog called to order und
disclaiming he meant no offense to tbe Sen
ate. Just here the greatness of Senator
Sumner comes in. The pompous Senator is
quite a stickler for forms aud ceremonies,
bat he is as arrant a hypocrite as he is a
coward. So # yesterday he proposed the Senate
should censure Nelson for the language
used, bat ot course tailing to note any im
propriety in Butler. To-day the Senate re
corded its opinion of this little piece of
meanness by laying it on the table by a vole
of 35 to 10.
But this is not all of “Alta Vela.” The
statements made in the Court about Judge
Black has induced that gentleman to write
a fotfor or two which will be made public on
Saturday. They are said to be extremeiy se
vere on Mr. Seward, rather than on ihe
President. Black thinks Seward ought to be
pilloried for his malfeasance in office and
other grave offenses.
Judge Black and Mr. Johnson have main
tained not«nly friendly relations, but those
of a confidential character; indeed, the
Judge is credited with writing the ablest of
Mr. Johnson’s political messages. Btu they
have severed these relations, and two such
men m S tkase an iftifstf forgive. Judge

FROM WASHINGTON,
Characteristic Proceedings in the House
—Progress of tlie Impeachment Trial.
Washington, May 4.— House.—A commit
tee of seven with power to seud for persons
and papers, was appointed on the Donnelly
aud Washburne case. Amotion to expunge
Satin day’s proceedings caused much excite
ment but was withdrawn after Douneily aud
Washburne had with drawn their offensive re
marks. Pending a motion to adjourn, Don
nelly asked leave that Washburne aud he
should imitate Thomas aud Stautou and take
a drink. Washburne proclaimed himself a
temperance man—adjourned.
Senate—I a the Impeachment Court Mr.
Bingham disavowed all partisan prejudices,
ueclariug that he was there as a representa
tive of tLe prople. He applied the term hired
.rtquently to the Presideni,’dCounsel|and said
that Mr. Evarts’ speech had more latin than
law, more rhetoric than logic, aod more in-
tellertual pyrotechnics than either. Hear-
gut d :h;.t fhe President had not rightly con-
alrin d the and that tba Snprema Conrt
lu.d do possible jurisdiction in the case. He
unrated Lincoln’s as^assniation and inci-
d-sutc irom the ingilive State law operations.
He snid the gentleman who opened this case
claimed that tuc President may judicially
construe ihe Consiiiuiion for himself, and
may-judicially determine whether your law*
an passed under the Constitution, and
whether he shall execute taem.
He repeated this, that it might be bailed
into the hearts ot the Senators, the laws
were ouiy to be executed, if it, pleased his
higuiie??, Andrew Johnson, first King of the
United Stages. If the President can do this,
us insisted upon by his advooates, he insist
ed that the Constitution which we had been
taught to receive as the bnlworks of our lib-
erties, is a Constitution of anarchy, a Consti
tution which invites violation of tbe law, not
bey.mce to it; and he insisted further, that
if Senators, by their judgment, should coun
tenance this plea, they would be th« archi
tects of their country’s ruin—they would
^ive over this laud to endless chaos and an
archy. No matter w>at demagogue may say
about it, out of this Caamber the issue is an-
cby in this land end the recording augel of
histoiy is ready to trace it. That is all of it.
It is the head and front of Andrew John
son’s lending, that he has assumed to him
self the prerogative of interpreting the Con-
stituiion and deciding upon this for himself.
In spite of all the lawyer’s tricks—in spite
of all the technicalities, this was it. With all
respect to Senators an i to the able counsel
alter the weeks and weeks of discussion on
this case, if there is one man who does not
understand this simple proposition, then
God in his infinite wisdom has denied him
reason.
The revenue receipts to-day are $1,645,-

The White House was crowded all day to

This evening’s Star has the following—
Impeachment stock fluctuates hoar by hoar.
To-day it is shaky, why is not ;demon-

Jackson, Miss., May 4 —Iu absence of
other business tbe Convention occupies the
time in revising the Constitution.
The N. Y. Tribune urges Ihe prompt ad
mission of Senators from Arkansas, as well
irom other Southern reconstructed States,
tor the express purpose of enabling them
to vote on the impeachment question. This
is rather a startling suggestion, says the
Times. “ Not* one of these men has heard a
syllable of the testimony, and of conrte It is
now too late, as it is all in, aod all tbe argu
ments will be over before they can possibly
take their seals. We do not suppose there
is the slightest chance that the Senate will
perpetrate or tolerate such a flagrant act of
injustice and impropriety; bat it seems to us
a little remarkable that a paper like the
Tribune should propose or even suggest such
a thing.”
The Right Spirit, if they Hays it.-—
Col. Forsyth, in a late letter to the Mobile
Advertiser, says the Democrats of the North
have firmly resolved, if necessary “to inau
gurate. at tho point of the bayonet, the
white President elected by a majority of the
white men of the United States.”
We profess to be loyal in the true sense of
the word and we’d like to see ’em try it.
The young Prince Imperial of France has
just started on a tour of three or four days to
Brest and Cherbourg. This is the first time he
has been allowed to make a short Imperial
journey on his own account, without either of
liis parents, and attended only by his own suite.
Orders have been everywhere given to receive
the heir apparent with similar honors to those
paid to the Emperor himself. Thus we are on
the threshold a3 it were of the reign of a Napo
leon IV.
Not Ku Kluxes.—A short time ago the
Radical papers made a great oatcry against
the Ku Kluxes, because some of tbe Sena
tors had received threatening anonymous
letters. They called ior an increase of the
military forces in the South, and stringent
measures against the Ku Kiux spectres and
all the Southern communities in which their
mysterious operations should be carried on.
We now learn from tbe same papers that
Senator Grimes and a half dozen other Sen*
alors have received letters threatening them
with assassination if they vote for the ac
quittal of Mr. Johnson. These evidently do
not come from the Ku Kluxes. What about
the army now?—Boston Post.
