The Radicals and Prussia*
As we have «l«v»whoro stated the' Radi
cals have espoused the cause of Prussia
in the present threatened contest with
France. The cause of this is easily ex
plained, and may be accounted 7or in two
ways.
1. During the recent “war between the
States, ” tho Germans gave our enemies
mnch and material aid. Indeed, without
statistical information and judging from
individual observation, wc believe the
German element in the Yankee army was
greater than all the other foreign ele
ments combined.- It was impossible to
capture a batch of Yankees fn-c fromOer-
LSP A young man who officiates in a
restaurant went to sleep in a Syracuse
church last Sunday and suddenly aston
ished tho congregation by awaking and
calling out, ‘Ham and eggs for two.”—
Being fully awakened, he immediately
“went away from there.”
Tho Constitution advises that the
j»eople of every county assemble in
primary meetings and put forward their
best men os candidates for the General
Assembly. No sort of tergiversation or
trickery on the part of the Genejal As
sembly can overrido tho act of Congress
admitting Georgia in the Union. The
constitution of the State, by that act,
is made tho paramount authority on the
subject of an election for State officers.
t®uThc Savannah Republican of the
28th inst. chronicles the sadden death of
Mr. Langdon Bowie, Sr. Agent of the
Equitable Life Insurance Company of
New York, who fell dead in his office in
Savannah, on tho morning of the 27th
from disease of tho heart.
K3L. Tho Commencement exercises of
the University of Georgia will begin next
Sunday. Tho baccalaureate sermon will
bo preached by Chancellor Lipscomb.—
The address before tho literary societies
will l>o delivered Monday afternoon, by
(tenoral. A. C. Gorlington, of Atlanta.
Whether or not King Wiliiam was in
strumental in procuring these men to
fight against the South we have no means
of ascertaining, but our conviction is that
ho threw no serious obstacle in the way.
Hence, then, the cause of the Radical, or
dominant party, desiring the success of
the Prussian arms over those of France.
a well known fact, among the South
ern soldiers, that but few Frenchmen
were ever seen or captured in Yankee
uniforms, and it is further known that
the Emperor of the French sympathized
with the South and, could he have seen
his way clear, another LaFayette would
have come, with his means and his men,
and fought with as and to-day we would
have been an independent Government
and free people.
2. lint, leaving the war out of the ques
tion, there is another and more powerfnl
reason why the Radical party and its lead-
ersjare siding with Prussia and efforting
to moko capital out of tho war. The
Radicals are smart and are working to
carry the fall elections. They know the
Germans of tho North and West
threatening, in unmistakablo tones, to
abandon the Republican party liecause of
the Fifteenth Amendment, and they hav«
seized upon the war with the hope of pac
ifying this disaffection by espousing the
cause of the fatherland. Without the
co-operation of the GerMans the Repub
lican party will l>e a lailure, and defeated
in several States,—hence this interest
behalf of Prussia. The Indiana Repub
licans, we are told “ boldly declare their
intention of espousing the cause of Prui
sia” and for no other purpose than above
stated, while the New York Republican
Central Committee are making a similar
move and thrusting instructions into the
face of the Washington Administration
teaching the f oreign policy of this Gov
ernment
Thi3 is all gammon—bosh. It may de
ceive the Germans and lead them into
the belief that, in truth, the Radicals arc
their friends, but if it does the Lord pity
the poor fools for a want of sense. If they
cannot run and read the motive of the
move they havn't sense enough to exer-
30 tho elective franchise.
But let ns give the pronnneiamento of
the New York Committee. On Thurs
day night, of last week, after an animat
ed debate, the following resolution was
adopted by a vote of 43 to 20 :
Resolved, That while onr Government
wisely adheres to its traditional policy of
avoiding entangling alliances with princes
potentates, tho sympathies of tbe Ameri
can people cannot be restrained where
usurping inqierialism in one eonutry
wages aggressive war upon national unity
in another, and whero we discern, in spite
of all pretences, that the assailed are stib-
A:iDT Johnson ox xscTn:m> Tarty
—Andy Johnson has recently made n
speech before a Democratic Convention
in Tennessee. Wo quote him as follows
on the third party movement:
Efforts were being made ia tiff s State
to organize a third party, and that this
movement was understood and appreciat
ed at Washington, where it was known
tho third party must eventually go with
the Radicals. lie said we must stand by
onr Democratic fHeads in the North, who
are in line of bottle, and fighting in the
glorious cause of constitutional govern
ment ; that we most frown down any at
tempt to create the tlurd party, and rally
in the common cause with our brethren
elsewhere.
Wc can heartily toss up our hot for
Johnson oa the above. He is right: there
is no sort of a necessity for a third party.
It is but a trap and pitfall for weary Dem
ocrats, many of whom, we fear, arc fall
ing therein. It is but the first step to
wards Radicalism, and we worn oar frionds
against it—shun it. There is no doubt of
the fact but tlrnt the Radicals, seeing
their power and authority in a warering
condition, are giving the movement aid
and encouragement, by secretly en
couraging it and deceiving onr friends in
to the belief that they are death against
it Already we hear, cn tho streets and
at corners, professed Democrats insinua
ting the claims of Joe Browu, the arch-
traitor and damnable demagogue. This
bat another feature of the third party
move in our own State. We v
friends against it again and continually.
Let us have no half way men or measures,
but let us meet tbe issues squarely and
force the weak-kneed into their proper
places, and mark them so that they may
be known and seen. In the language of
Johnson let us “frown down any attempt
to create tho third party,” and frown down
tho men—the Joe Brown advocates—at
the same time.

From the inviting prospectus and from
the measured laudations of some who had
given the work a hasty reading, I antici
pated a delicious feast in the perusal
“The Globe within theSunQur Heav.
en. ” I bought the first copy I found
and with eagerness began to read. The
opening chapter disappointed. The Au
thor pretends to state his “ Theme, ” and
the only remark ho makes on the subject
is when tie announces that “ Oar princi
pal Theme is tint of the place of onr fu
ture existence—especially Heaven.
He writes three pages pretendingly up
on this idea and yet fails to define him
self in a tingle line.
The following chapter is on “ The Im
mortality of tho Soul and a future State
of Existence. ”
His argument on the immortality of
the soul is a mere assumption. lie as
serts that the idea of immortality is in
hereut and draws this conclusion from
the historical fact that tho aborigines of
every heathen clime hold the idea of a
future state of existence. History does
not sustain this assertion. It is a mere
assumption. He now forgets his subject
and discusses at some length the faith of
•Id patriarchs. lip then gives the
Why Napoleon Delay!
It lias now been about throe weeks aince
the accounts from Europe led poople to
look for the commencement of warlike
operations between France and Prussia
at any hour. The anticipation war hard
ly a reasonable one, hut it was based np
on statements of tho forwardness of prep
arations and of the advantage which the
French would secure by striking a heavy
blow at the earliest day. People are now
wondering why the blow has not yet been
struck. Ordinarily a sufficient answer
would bo because tbe preparations were
not so advanced two or three weeks ago
as to justify the expectations then formed.
The Prussians, however, account for tho
delay in a manner suggestive of a defeat
of tho French original plan of operations.
A dispatch from Prussian sources 'ays
that it is certain in Berlin “that Napoleon
coanted on the disloyalty of South Ger
many and calculated a sadden movement
across the Rhine before Prussia had con
centrated any considerable force, and it
disappointed by tho loyalty of Germany,
— J -- not going to risk a movement
and
northward with the South Gorman army
on his flank. He lias certainly delayed,
and perhaps altered tho original plan of
the campaign. It is believed no advance
can bo made at any point, without risking
a general engagement. Prussia, though
not ready to attack, is ready everywhere
for defense. ”
If the reported attack at Saarbrucken
was an earnest demonstration, and not a
feint, it gives some support to this Prus
sian theory. An invasion by way of Saar-
bracken would indicate an intention to
ovcmiu the South German States. {Saar
brucken is so located that the French

while German unity is perfected, may re

The New York Times in commenting
on the’above very properly says:
“ The resolutions themselves, we take
leave to say, are sheer buncombe, origi
nating in on ill-regulated desire to secure
German votes. What have we in this
country to do with the war between
France and Prussia? What have the
Republican General Committee to do
with war in Europe, that they should
take sides, and introduce dissension into
the ranks of their own party?”
Well, all we have to say is this acti on
of tho Republicans is quite cool, and
the Germans are worse fools than we
think they are if they allow the hook of
negro suffrage to be concealed with such
transparent bait. There only desire *
have the Germans v .Lo with them in
Fall election. This done the question of
negro suffrage will no longer trouble
them. Let the Germans stop and think
before theybito. If they but do this
they con see through the whole thing.
fio^Tho Now York Journal cf Com-

war-guessing. Napoleon I gained all his
victories against tremendous odds, and in
the Crimean war the field troops of Rus
sia were equal to the whole available
military population of the allies,
numbers Austria was rather superior to
Prussia and Italy in the war which termi
nated with Sadova. To guess well it ia
necessary to have the measure of the

He labors to prove that “ Spirit is Fire ”
and quotes, “Whither shall I go from

sions. He says ‘‘•Mark well thlsteatimo-

there is no darkness, save to thoeo vailed

teacher in Ashburnbam, Massachusetts,
received a note the 27th of June, warn
ing her to leave the district, on peril of
her life. The same day, while passing
along the public highway, accompanied
by others, some unknown person threw a
stone, which, striking her upon the back
of tho head, caused serious, if not fatal
injury. Sinoe the assault she has been

Radicalism in North Carolina.—A
Pertinent Question.—The Wilmington
Journal puts tho following veiy pertinent
question, in a review of tho enormous ex
travagance which has characterized the
managers of the Stato Government—
We are constrained to confess that the
same enquiry can be made here. Speak
ing of tho afflictions under which the
State lias suffered and is suffering, it
ays;
How many of tho substantial voters of
Sortli Carolina are responsible for this
result ? How many, by negligence and
indifference, remained away from the
polls ? How many feared that “some
thing worse,” would result if the Radic
als were not put it power ? How many
feared low in their basinea if they of
fended political opponents? And what
they have mode by their indifference or
their fears? Is their business improved
or taxes lessened ? Let these same men
hare a core that they do not bankrupt
the State and themselves by a repetition
at tlie next election.

The Key West Dispatch of the 16th
inst. says: “The latest reliable intelli
gence we have from Cuba is to the effect
that much despondency prevails in Span*
ish circles because of the refusal of the
home government to send more troops
to the island. The guerilla system of
war adopted by the patriots will enable
them to carry on the contest for an indefi
nite period of time. Cholera, small-pox
and yellow fever had combined with the
Cubans ag unst the Spaniards, and not
even the message of Grant could, impart
confidence to the adherents of Spain.”

The Admission of Georgia-
One cf the last acts of Congress before
tho adjournment was to pass a bill ad
mitting Georgia to representation ia Con
gress. This act of justice was tardily
performed. It closes the work of Re
construction, and the bill might have
been passed two years ago just os weli as
d£w. Under.this act the State of Geor
gia will elect Representatives this fell ior
the present Congress, and for the Con
gress which commences next March.—
The present Legulstore elected two
years ago, Messrs. Hill and Miller- Lost
winter it elected two other Senators, and
a third one to fill a short term, treating
its own previous action as a nality.—
When Congress meets in December there
will be a warm controversy as to which
of tlwse Senators shall be admitted.
The act of Congress directs that the
State elections sluul bo held os are requir
ed by the Constitution of the State.—
The Constitution of Georgia iirovides
for the election of a new Legislature in
November, 1870, Tha old Legislature,
acting with Bullock, will, perhajia, insist
that its official life begins only with the
admission of the State to representa
tion. If Bollock and his followers per
sist in the insane effort to oveiride law
and constitution in order to perpetuate
themselves in office, the conflict may lead
to violence. The President can do mnch
to arrest such a calamity, by simply re
fusing to countenance any such notion on
the part of Bollock. Unless unstained
and by Federal authority, the desperate
action of Georgia will hazdly attempt to
rhich they have produce ! in that
State already.
If we are ever to dose np the war, let
this act of Congress be lhe Is it on the

Important Decision.
The Supreme Court of Kentucky has
decided that a threat renders homicide
justifiable. Whereupon the Columbus
(Miss.) Democrat remarks:
“This is on important decision, and the
principle involved is one which should
bo carefully weighed before its adoption
as a part of onr jurisprudence. A man
certainly ought to have the right to pro
tect his life; and his life is in danger so
long os a threat hangs over him ; but to
establish the doctrine that a threat justi
fies homicide, is to give to the vicious a
large latitude, inasmuch as it is equiva
lent to giving tbe privilege of construing
threats and of taking the law ia their own
hands ia cases where their lives
really in danger as well as where they
