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 drum head ('ourt-nmrti d, because the people of those States decline to be 'spoliated J»y a Kellogg, a Clayton or 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.

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 the jien, or prone to explain the motives Sheridan by a similar summary j>ro- C ess, deal with the people of Massa cluuetts or New York, liccausc they , have preferred Governor Gaston to :, Uutlw or Governor Tildcn to Mr. John A. -nit "If the suggestions of Gen'l Sheri.ian, “’' winch “ail of us" approve, arc justi- fj a h)e in Louisiana, why may they not "he equally *» j» other State whose i enter***' 1 different political ’ 'tSuLttf jfr^m ,hoae '•>’ General nnd his Lieutenant-General of of their actions, but in this case we Grant, and. 1, “ the Army ?

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.
