The only protection against such an

to defend and maintain the Constitu
tion of the United States, and to insist
that every State in the Union shall
exercise the right to govern herself in
her own way, subject only to the su
preme law.
The Georgia University.
We are glad to see from the Gov
ernor’s message, which we hope to
print in our next issue, that the future
of our cherished State University oc
cupies not the least important part in
The Lonlslana Question.
It is clear from the expressions of
popular opinion, by all classes and in
all parts of the country, that the pen-
pie of the United States are not yet I that document
prepared to accept the rule of the Imy- j h * 3 notorious that the University
onet as dispensed by Generals Grant * management has called forth a not
and Sheridan, in place of the rule j inconsiderable opposition in the State,
of law ns defined and declared by the This opposition, as it naturally would
Constitution.
It needed such a monstrous viola
tion of the letter and spirit of the or
ganic law of the Union as that com
mitted by order of General Grant at
New Orleans, on the 4th in»t., to
rouse the jieople to a realization of the
dangers of General Grant’s interpre
tation of the powers and duties of the
Executive. If General DeTrobriand
and a detachment of United States
soldiers can control the organization
of the General Assembly of Louisiana,
determine who are, and arc not, legal
ly elected mem hors of that !>ody, eject
and seat whom they please, interpret
the statutes of the .State, and deter
mine for the Legislature questions of
parliamentary law, it is not unnatural
that the people of other States, should
ask thcm.-elvcs, “ what security have
they, that their legislatures, statutes
and rights of self-government may not
Ik: “ purged,” revised and determined
in a similar manner, whenever it may
suit the purposes or the whim ofGen.
Grant so to order.”
Although the sufferings of Louis
iana are grievous, and her humiliation
hard to emlure, we lielieve that in the
end, they will work her deliverance,
and will re-establish, not only for her,
but for all the States of the Union,
the supremacy of the Constitution,
and thus restore union and domestic
tranquilly.
The enormity of the President’s
usurpation of authority and the
magnitude of the wrong done to Louis
iana, may lie the providential means
of rescuing the liberties of the entire
country from destruction.
Fortunately, the question presented
lOr pOpilUir uirllsMcinlioit, -
and simple, that neither partisan, pre
judice nor passion, can obscure or mis
represent it.
Whether the members of the Louis
iana Legislature who were ejected by
Gen’l DeTrobriand at the point of the
bayonet, were legally elected or not;
whether the Legislature was or was
not organized according to the laws of
the State; whether Mr. Kellogg,
claiming to lie Governor of Louisiana,
did or did not call for military force
to help him to organize the Legislature
according to his views of legality;
whether or not there was any gwxi
cause to apprehend a violent conflict
between the opposing jiarties in the
State,—lias nothing to do with the
question which is now Indore the peo
pie. That question is, “ Where does
the Constitution or any law passed in
pursua ce to its provisions, authorize
Unite*! States soldiers to decide the
legal qualifications of members of the
legislature of a State to determine
the legality or illegality of a legisla
ture’s organization to a Governor,
(lejure or de facto, to enforce his views
as to what members are and are not
entitled to seats, and at the mere ap
prehension of disturbance, to invade
the hnlls of the Legislature of a sove
reign State and by force and arms, ex
pel its meniliers and put others in
their place?” This is the question.
Under what principle of Constitution
al law, under what statute, did (Jen’
DeTrohriand and his soldiers do these
things?
It is obvious that the Constitution and
laws not only furnish no such authority
but expressly forbid and guard against
its. exercise. The conclusion, there
fore, is irresistible, that General Grant
by whose orders these outrages were
committed, acted either in utter igno
mime of the law of t! c land or in wil
fill defmnoe of its provisions, and
whichever be the case, it is plain that
the liberties of the people are in dan
ger.
If General Sheridan, with the ex
press approval of the President and
his Cabinet, can suggest the outlawry
in time of peace, of the entire popu
lation of throe Slates, by Executive
proclamation, ami their deliv- ry to
n military commander to lie dealt with

people of those States decline to be

an Ames, whv may not General
ger
lias manifested itself in a less attend
a nee of students (despite a faculty env
incut and conscientious in every way,)
than we had a right to expect on ac
count of the usual fac^lies which are
offered to the youths of Georgia.
We therefore endorse all the recom
mendations which Governor Smith
has seen proper to make, and partic
ularly the reduction of the present
unwieldy body of Trustees, but in the
interest of education we should desire
the Committee to which this portion
of the message will undoubtedly be re
ferred, to consider the following points:
We think it eminently proper that
the members of a State Board of Trus
tees should be indemnified for their
trouble in attending the meetings of
the Board. The times are two hard
to expect from the men best fitted to
rule over the destines of our Univer
sity, that they should pay their own
exjHnses. If you do not at least pay
their expenses in attending these meet-
ings, you arc obliged to elect wealthy
men, and such men are not always the
liest fitted to “run a University.” You
cannot comjiel an honorary officer to
attend; but you can dismiss a salaried
officer if he does not attend to his
duties—and this in itself is a very im
portant matter.
Then, and a most important matter
—which we think would at once re
move the most serious drawback under
which our University has labored—is
the manner in which the Faculty is at
present chosen. We should wish that
our State make a big step forward iu
this respect, and, following the ex
ample of the most eminent Universities
of the World, make the Family itsdf
fill the vacancies, subject to the aprov-
of the Board. Then we would lie
ure that no rivalries'could mar the
prosperity of our University, and that
the liest talent would be selected.
Another important matter deserves
the immediate attention of our Legis
lature. We print in another column
resolutions offered in the Clarke County
Grange, meeting our hearty endorse
ment, which look to legislative action
in regard to the fitting up of the very
beautiful State Agricultural College,
hicli the City of Athens has built for
the State. Competent judges declare
it the handsomest mid best adapted
building for the purposes intended in
the South ; and there is none either in
the North or West, as complete.
Thirty thousand dollars are needed to
fit it up, and ns the State of Georgia
has not as yet given one dollar for this
most important department of our
State University, %vc hope the Legisla
ture will vote in the readiest and most
liberal manner for this great necessity,
without which the building itself would
lie of little benefit.
We shall have more to say on these
subjects, so vital to the youths of our
State, hereafter.
During the Convention of the Geor
gia State Agricultural Society, in Co
lumbus, last February, it was general
ly understood that “ The Grangers”
had agreed to plant one-third of their
farms in Cotton and the remainiug
two-thirds in Corn and small grain.
We now ask—Has this agreement been
fulfilled ? We presume not.
The agricultural situation in our
State has been very greatly improved;
yet there is great room for advance
ment. It is our honest jugdment, that
the only way to secure self-support
ing farms in our section, is to plant
only one-lourth of our tillable land in
Cotton. This proportion, under high
culture, will produce ns much now as
we produced in ante-bellum days on
four times the amount of land. This
red need acreage will allow the farmer,
at the same time, to devote a large
portion of his time and attention to his
grain crops, grasses, stock, fruits, gar
den, &c.
The Southern farm hitherto, has
been in a great measure, an existence
on one peck of meal and three pounds
of bacon per week, and with very few
of the home comforts of the farm which
should belong to each family. Are
our jieople wanting in good common
sense, not to jierceive this wretched
condition of our farming interests—or
are we too lazy to follow the dictates of
our sober judgment in these matters
of such vital importance to our entire
jwpulation ?
We appeal to our farmers to try the
one-fourth plan this year, improving
thereby the fibre of our Cotton and
the value of their farms—by rotation
of crops. To devise the most economical
method of producing their own meat,
to dejiend upon themselves for sup
port, and not apjical, as heretofore, to
their Commission Merchant for bread
and bacon “ to keep them alive” till
the cotton crop matures.

tip ii era I Longstreet.
We note the retirement of Gen.
Longstreet from the Louisiana usurpa
tion, to reside ill our State. The old
soldiers who formerly served under
him from Georgia, and particularly
from this portion of the State, would
lie glad to hear from Gen. Longstreet
They would willingly accord a patient
ear, recalling the n.emories of the
glorious battles iu which he led them,
to what he may deem necessary to cx-
jilain the singular jiosition in which lie
lias placed himself, in sujiport of the
Federal usurjiation in Louisiana. They
cannot believe, even now, that he was
actuated by the lust of gain, or even
of jiosition, for his record in the war
has been so resplendent as to make any
other distinction of no imjiortance to
a soldier. They are led to ltelieve this
to he the case, as no one has as yet
dared to charge him with sjicculation
or fraud, or any of those crimes which
have made the jinrty with whom he
has hitherto lieen affiliated, justly re
probated throughout the South.
Wc should then be pleased to wel
come anything Gen. L.ingstreet may
have to say in his defence. It is true
that soldiers generally, are not men of

former comjiunions in arms from
Georgia.
Yesterday t. rejiorter of the Chronicle
<t Sentinel metting Col. C. C. Jones
Jr., the Indian Archreologist and His
torian, he was for an hour most in
tensely interested in his conversation
lie at once impresses one with being
a gentleman of high culture, and, up
on his favorite theme—the nboriginees
of America—one would never weary.
He said he had in his cabinet at New
York, fully six thousand relics of dif
ferent tribes of Indians, who once, and
now, were inhabitants of North Ameri
ea. Of these, he had little to say ; as
indeed, no intelligent remarks could
be made about them, outside the cabi
net containing them.
To the direct question : “ Do you
believe in the so-called Unity of the
Human Race ?” He replied at length,
“ I do not. I believe that the Indiau
of this country, is indigenous. From
the hones, and particularly the skulls,
now in my collection, it is even doubt
ful, if they descended from one com
mon parentage. I have two skulls,
taken from a mound near Macon, very
different. One was found near the
surface, the ether at the bottom. The
Indian, the Mongolian and the Afri
can races, are all older than the race
of Adam. I think the negro, or the
African, is the oldest on the earth.—
The Mongolian next. As to their
unity, it is just as impossible to be
lieve that they all descended from one
parentage, as to believe that the horse
and cow, or all the balance of the ani
mal cres*ion, came from one. As to
tlieir having souls, or their immortali
ty, that was quite another thing.—
They could descend from a different
parent and still lie immortal, still have
souls, still have a place of eternal rest
provided by the Creator. He thought
the Bible on the jmint of unity, was
very plain. Take Cain: At the time
he slew his brother, the Bible distinct
ly says, that Adam, Eve, Cain and
Abel, constituted the whole human
family, then in the Garden of Eden
After Cain murdered Abel and was
condemned by God, he went into the
land of Nod and there found aud mar
ried his wifef; showing that the land
of Nod was inhabited before the crea
tion of Adam and Eve. His convic
tions were based ujion common sense.
“ Until,” he said, “ it is demonstrated
that a black child can come from
white parents, having the same bones,
it will tie impossible for me to believe
that the negro, Indian or Mongolian
came from Adam and Eve. I have
not the slightest doubt, that the white,
or Cauca8siun race, as it is called, are
the direct offsprings of them. But,
ean no more believe in Unity, than
that a horse can Itave a cow for its
mother, or any other given animal can
spring from a different animal.”—Bx.
rights of the States under the Consti
tution, hv the forcible dispersion of
the legally chosen members of the
House of Representatives by United
States troops, acting under the orders
of Ulvsses S. Grant, as President ot
the United States and coinniander-in-
chief, with the deliberate intent and
purjiose of preventing the seating of a
legally chosen Democratic majority,
and thus to jierjietuate the tyranny
and misrule under which the unfortu
nate jieople of Louisiana have groaned
since the close of the war between the
States; and whereas, since the forci
ble military usurjiation has become
known, it has elicited the unqualified
condemnation by the people at large
in all the States of the Union through
the exjxinents of the press, public
meetings, legislatures, and in the Con
gress of the United States. Yet, all
concerned in these unlawful and vio
lent proceedings, the commander of
the military department in which
Louisiana is situated, the Secretary
of War and the President have, by
renewed ami emphatic declarations,
sustained this military outrage and
reiterated their determination to up
hold a usurpation, which, while sadly
reminding us of the desjiotisin of the
old world, must eventually destroy the
liberties of our common country; and
whereas, the approval, and even tole
ration ot such acts by the sovereign
people of Georgia, and of the United
States in general, will bring us to the
verge of jiolitical anarchy and civic
dissolution, in destroying the only
hope ujion which the future of these
States rejxises—a strict demarkation
between the legislative, judicial, and
executive dejiartments of the govern
ment, but also a willing subordination
of these dejiartments to the will of the
jieople, ami a total and emphatic sep
aration and subordination of the mili
tary to the civic authorities. Be it,
therefore.
Resolved, Ry the Senate and House
of Representatives in General Assembly
