GRANT S CAANCE9.
"Would «r>me power the giftie gie us,
T* «eo oonrl* ** others r«
It would from manv a blunder free us
.And foolish notion/’
If any man ever had enusr to utter
</,rst- ffnes ol the immerta! “bard of
Avon,” that man is U. S. Grant, nom
inated by the hlark and tan Conven
tion at Chicago, for the h'gt' st offiee
in the gift of a free people. He stands
arraved before the country as the man
whose tactirs in war, depend for their
success on an overwhelming brute force.
Now, that npncp has been restored, a
higher order of Statesmanship is requir
ed than he possesses. But if seems | p
is willing, in the face of t is ri cord, to
t:d;p the chances against h'm—his or
der banishing tliP Jews, included.
The resources of our country can
hardly keep on the Government credit,
and liis experience in the pork business
docs not warrant us to believe his re
commendations can embrace the mo
mentous piobh m of hr'iiging ti e coun
try out of '.he exhaustion caused hj
<<ur late civil war.
We give below bis opinion of him
self, copied from the Washington Con
stitutional Union. It seems by his ac
cepting the nomination, his views at
present are not the same :
Grant as a Statesman —Tt w-is not
believed that «*ven Radical prcßtimp
tion would ever claim for General
Grant the qualities of a statesman ; but
this it seems is a mistake. The New
York Times places his chief claim to
the Presidency on the ground of his
eminent abilities as a statesman. Wp
have heard of a French rook who could
make delicious soup out ol a flint stone,
only give him the condiments he re
quired. Tt is in this way only that the
Times can make a statesman of Grant.
Assuming that he has qualities which
he ton self declares he has not and at
tributing u» him the acts which he never
performed, the Times would make out
a very plausible argument if Grant’s
own declaration* did not so completely
upset the whole of Raymond’s nice
lntie “card house.” J.et us hear Hi
ram Ulysses himself.
Two years ago he wrote to Mr.
.Norris ; “I am not a politician, never
was. anti hope never to be. and could
not write a political letter,” His let
ter accepting the nomination as Presi
dent, tltclaies he had no policy, winch
is not much in character with states
manship- But we have a stronger dis
claimer from him of any such preten
tions in his communication to the
Secretary of War when instructed in
1806 to accompany Lion. Lewis D.
Campbell to Mexico, or to some con
venient point on the frontier, “to givp
him (Campbell) the aid of his (Grant's)
advice in carving out the instructions
of the Secretary of Stale. Grant ask
ed to be excused, suggesting Sherman,
Hancock, or Sheridan for the duty—
in fact anybody hot himself. To the
Secretary of War he said: I would
not dare to counsel the Minister in any
matter beyond stationing troops on
U. S. soil. * * * I sincerely nope I
may he excused from undertaking a
duty so foreign to mv offiee and tastes
as that contemplated.” To the Presi
ueut, asking to he excused, lie wrote :
•It is a diplomatic service for which lam
not fined either by education or taste.
It has necessarily to be condnetid with
the State Department, with which my
duties do nqtconnect me. Again, then
1 most respectluily but urgently repeat
iny request to be excused from the per
formance of a duty entirely nut of my
sphere and one. too, which ran be so
much better performed hv others,”
“Theres wisdom lor you,” as Captain
Cuttle would say ; a statesman's opin
ion of his own capacity.

Heavy Taxation.
Nations may be destroyer! Hr other
means than the sword. If the accu
mulation of property is to be attended
with heavy taxation the te.ndetiry will
be for the producing class to gain only
enough for a comfortable support kr ow
ing that when their income exceeds
•his, their burdens will be increased.—
Heme, the former will produce only
enough to satisfy his own wants and
thoseof the mechanical trade with which
it is business or comfort is connected.
This leaves no surplus for the contin
gencies of a general failure of crops.—
Not only this but such a state of things
is produced that the taxable property
of the county in the course of tim
gradually diminishes and as a natural
consequence taxes must be increased,
until the life blood of the nation, the
• ’tergv of the people is paralyzed, and
a condition of society produced that
as a consequent result is followed by
anarchy nr despotism.
It will bp the mission of the Demos
rratie party, bv wise legislation, and
the rpducti-m ofta\es to relieve the
burdens of the neonle. and once m »re
restore our e.utntrv to j*« former proud
position ns the “best government on
earth.”
JI’STtTtA.
We give place to‘he letter from Mr.
Ruckman containing matter of interest.
Regarding the settlement of Southern
lands by immigrants from the “land of
steady habits,” we would remark that
if the class of immigrants are of the
right kind they w ill find a welcome. —
But il ti e plai ol s« tiling our waste
places, is a purely speculative move
roent, and those sent out are to be mer
ely the tools of capitalist, without re
gard to their moral qualifications, in
telligence 4*c., then better lot the thorn
and thistle grow. The civil war has
left among us as its debris, much, that
is antagonistic to a healthy state of so
ciety, and while a sale of land* and estate
will he forced by lit? circumstances of
the owners “to the manor horn.” a
true regard to »>ur future shoo'd induce
all w ho contemplate sidling, to be care
ful of the pvils that may be entailed on
the country by immigrants if selected
solely with a view of money making.
We see that many land holders,
though their means are very much
straitened, refuse Urge prices offered
by lieedmtn, foi small parcels of land
where the character ol the applicant is
questionable, and future inconvct.ienee
liable to be the result of a sale, and we
hope ibis wise precaution will be ob
served w hen sales are contemplated on
a large scale to any corporation, or
class of settlers.
As respects Mr. Workman's pecuni
ary embarrassment, we say nothing ;
Itis letter speaks for him.
Oor columns are open for those who
ct'iisider their character slandered, to
set then selves right before the public,
who will be able to judge in the prem
ises.
Rost on Corn upomlence.
Boston, ( Mass.) June 27, 1807. —
Mr. Editor: My w ife writes in her
lasi letter received, that some
talk that I am not going back home
any more. Now. as (here is no just
foundation for any such conclusion
with those who know the truth ol the
! situation and circumstances hv which
; I am surrounded. I lee| it a duty to
mvsell ant! others >o give you some ol
the facts to publish in your paper ;
and 1 wish it was as easy to procure
the money to pay all mv debts, as i l
is for me to furnish the most abundant
evidence that 1 have been making ex
traordinary efforts to make sale of mv
property in West Virginia.
Property can only he sold for mon
ey. where there is money : anti 1 tell
von there is none to spare in the re
gion v/here the property is located —it
is very hard f >r tunny to pay their tax
es on what they have already.—
Therefore purchasers must bo found
at a distance, if at all. I have made
dtip diligence to find them ; I have
found them, and long since would have
completed a sale nl part or all of my
properly had it not been for the excite
ment at Washington ; this has been in
mv wav everywhere that 1 have found
capital, and 1 have found capital in
abundance : there was fifty millions of
dollars seeking investment in New
York, while I was there in March, hut
it appeared that a universal dread of
fearful outbreak at V\ ashington on some
place in the South, made every man
wish to keep Lis money within sight,
besides this, it has not been lor g since
bogus speculat inns have grown in
many places, like nuishroons, and have
reduced some men of wealth, to want,
in a single mopih. 1 have had Rail
Rond stock in \ irvinia. offered in me
in this cilv. that to mv certain knowl
edge, promised no present or prospect
ive profit to warrant investment. All
these things arc operating against me
to an oxtonl that y< u can scarcely im
agine. and had to be overcome before
I could do anything. In New’ York,
I met wiib a gentleman from Boston ;
in speaking of mv business, he said my
property was good, and that it certain
ly would sell in N< w England, for ther P
is too much money and too many men
there. I came hue and found it true,
though they are exceedingly cautious ;
very slow to take hold, but, they are
taking hold, and unless some other un
foreseen calamity intervenes very soon*
1 shall sell the gieater part, or all, of
mv Virginia property and be at borne
again.
I was going to mention the labor I
hevp performed, but it is impossible to
convey much idea of it in any reasona
ble space a newspaptr. I have devo
ted my energies to this business to the
full extent of what I thought was con
sistent with heabh of body and mind,
and sent l you a few copies of hand
bills and circulars ; I r.lso send you a
copy or two of the New England Far
mer, in the fourth column of the first
page you will mp an article headed,
“New England Pimietrs, in West Vir
ginia,” with my initials to it ; and at
the top of the tight hand column, on
the third page an adveriisemput calling
attention to mv property ; Swett 4*
Nason never saw this unfil it was in
print, but this does not show the thous
andth part of mv efforts. IJhave wink
ed as I never did work before, in or
der Vo get the means of paying my
dtbts, for I know every dollar is want*
and many are suffering because of
my delay. After the many losses and
disappointments 1 have met with in the
past few years, it was impossible to
control my debts without the sale o!
part or all of this property.
I leel myself under many obligations
10 every man that has been disappoint
ed bv my unprecedented delay and
that ha* so long wailed my return
without even adding cost to the debt.—
After the stock is all taken in the Com
pany that is to take mv land, there
must be a meeting, and an Agent ap
pointed to examine the lands and titles
which will very probably require from
• two to three weeks, in all, before much
money is paid, for, as you well know*
the payment of money is the very last
thing that is done in a trade ; but if!ilc
i lans, the time, 1 think will be very
I short till I will have some money to
pay debts at Cartelsvillc, and be in
jour midst again.
June 29 I Teel il a duty I owe to
the people of Cartersv ille, as well as
myself, to correct so false an opinion
as that 1 was not going to return if.
ir deed, any one could believe such a
thing.—l do not know that such a re
port being once circulated, and not
speedily contraelicted would have a
tendency to weaken confidence.
I have tried to make my letter as
short as possible, in order that you
may be able to get it. and the corrob>
erating testimony <>l Col. Swett. and
the editor of the N. E. Farmer, all in
one paper. 1 would like to have had
a line from Dr. Robt. A. Ileath, now
of Brouklm New York, if I could, for
lie has more knowledge of my efforts
than any other one man, and 1 request
ed him, some months ago, past, to
write a line to Brother Akin in view o
some such thing as this, and if lie has
received anything worth publishing, 1
want that published also, if you can
get it.
1 believe that I have not said in my
letter to be published, that I have en_
gaged Col. Swett it* srll tnv lands, and
that lie lias been doing all he could do
to hurry this matter ; he is a strong
man. and wields a great influence —
as an honest, upright man— nephew to
the Gov. of Maine —of one ol the best
families in that State, he may not com
plete this Company this week, but 1
think he will. I know he will move it
as last as possible, and all that 1 can
do to hurry the matter, shall be done
here, and elsewhere. I don’t consider
11 necessary to state the amount of stock
that this Company are going to invest ;
they are going to purchase considera
ble other property besides my own.
Respectfully Yours, J. 11. R.
Bv tlie article below it will be seen
that Military misrule of which we com
plain has spread its baleful influence to
a neighboring slate, nor are cases rare,
all over the section involved by the re
sult of the late civil war, of the abuse
of this kind of government, A proper
administration of it might be preferable
to the anarchy towards wlt’ch we are
drilling, by a reconstruction without
such wise safeguards and provisions as
will be effectual in restoring quiet. —
We do not complain of a proper use of
military rule, but ol the action of those
who dressed up in a little brief author
ity “play such fantastic tricks before
high Heaven as make the angels weep.
Let us hope earnestly the bubbling of
the caldron of political affairs, after the
late terrible convulsion may soon sub
side, and that the tune will soon come
when each man may “sit down under
his own vine and fig tree with none to
molest or make him alraid.”
[From the Tuscalocm Monitor.] .
To Atnj. Gen. Meade, Commanding
Third Mililury District , Jitlanta
Georgia :
General : Ti e right ol the people
“to petition the Government lor a re
dress of grievances,” is a privilege
guaranteed bv the Constitution of the
United States, which we have reason
to believe that you will respect, as Gen
eral commanding the Third Alillilary
District.
Accordingly, the undersigned, resi
dents of the county of Tuscaloosa.
JState of Alabama, respectfully ask leave
to call your attention to the conduct ol
L'ent. Charles J. Johnson, of the 15th
Regiment of United S ates lmantry,
now stationed in the city of Tuscaloo
sa. He will, doubtless, be recognized
as the same officer who was publicly
reprimanded by you, for the arrest and
incaiceration of the late Judge B. T.
Pope, unJer circumstances which you
deemed insufficient for the rightful ex
ercise of such arbitrary power.
Lieutenant Johnson openly annouces
that he deems it his duty to use the
military power in making arrests of
citizens tor ordinary breaches of the
peace, in the first instance, without
awaiting the action of the civil author
ities. During the ten days part that
he has hppn in command here, the per
snit of this course, followed by almost
daily arrests of citizens, who are para*-
(led through the public streets, under
military guards, has not tended to pre
serve good order, but lias kept the com
munity in a ((distant state of turmoil
and excitement.
Allow us, General, to specify some
particular eases, the facts of which can
be substantiated by witnesses, and
will probably not be denied on inves
tigation :
On Thursday, the I Ith day of Jimp,
Lieutenant Johnson ordered the arrest
of a boy, aged about twelve years, fori
an alleged violation of a municipal or*
dinance, and committed him to prison
for about three hours. The boy was
subsequently fined five dollars by the
Mayor, to whose custody he was thus
committe J, after being punished by im
prisonment, as above staled.
On Saturday, the 18th inst,. by or*
der of the same officer, three armed
soldiers entered private premises, and
arrested a peaceabie citizen for an al
leged violation ol a city ordinance,
when there was no pretence that the
civil authorities were not both willing
and able to do so on the usual informa
tion. This gentleman after trial, was
discharged on the ground that be had
interfered to prevent a large negro boy
f roin oppressing a small hoy of the same
color, in a street difficulty.
On the same day Miss A. Parker, a
voting lad\ of our county, was halted
in the streets of '1 ueceloosa by the sol
diers, turned b c 1; at the point of the
bayonet, and foieed to walk under the
national (lag, when she hail taken a
usual and weli beaten path, with no
other intention than to avoid passing
the quarters of the soldiery, where
many of them usually congregate.
Two other ladies were, on the 14th
list., coerced by manual force to walk
■he route. Lieutenant Johnson ac
knowledges that these wrongs are done
by authority of his orders.
We would further take occasion,
General, to complain to you that Lieut.
Johnson has used his official position
to offer rude insults to parties under
arrest, ami other citizens, in a manner
that no other officer of the army, oo tar
as we are advised, has ever done in
this Slate, termination of our
late civil war. lie has also used vio
lent language in the presence ol his
soldiers, the direct tendency of which
was to result in open bodily violence
to citizens, and to evidence a purpose
to licence and legalize such violence
when committed.
These statements, w hich can be sat
isfactorily established, show, w r e think
that Lieut. Charles J. Johnson is ad
ministering the military law contrary
to the letter and spirit of your various
orders. You can see. General, that
such conduct Irotn an officer, besides
bringing the service into disrepute,
tend to keep the community in a state
of disquiet and turbulence that may un
intentionally lead to open disorder at
any time.
\Ve respectfully ask of you that these
grievances be investigated at an early
period.
We lay before our readers the gener
al amnesty proclamation, copied from
the Rome Courier of7m inst. It will
act like oil on the troubled waters, in
smoothing the way lor the restoration
of our country on a proper basis by en
abling those who were like Pariahs in
their native land, to have n voice in
the selection of our rulers.
Proclamation by the. President. —
Whereas, In the month of July, A. D
1861, in accepting the condition of civil
war, which was brought about by in
surieetion and rebellion, in several ol
the Slates which constitute the United
States, the two Houses of Congress did
solemnly declare that the war was not
waged on the part of the government
in any spirit of oppression, nor for an v
purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor
fur any purpose of overthrowing cr in
terfering with the rights or established
institutions of the States, but only to
defend and maintain the supremacy of
the Constitution of the United States,
and to preserve the Union with all the
dignity, equality and rights of the sev
eral Stales unimpaired, and that so soon
as those objects should be accomplish
ed, the war on the part of the Govern
ment should cease ; anti whereas, the
President has heretofore, 1 in the spirit
ol that declaration and with the view
securing for it ultimate and complete
effect, set forth several proclamations
offering amnesty and pardon to persons
who hrd been or were engaged in the
aforesaid rebellion which proclamations
however, were attended with Presiden
tial reservation and exceptions, then
deemed necessary and propper, and
which proclamations were respectively
issued on the Btb day of December,
1863, on the 20th day of March, 1864,
on the 29th day of May, 18Gd, and on
thd 7th day ol September, 1867 ; and
whereas, the said lamentable civil war
has long since altogether ceased, with
an acknowledgement by all the States
of the supremacy of the Federal Con
stitution and the Government thereunr
der, and there no longer exists any
reasonable ground to apprehend a re
newal ol the said civil war, or any for
eign interference, or any lawful resist
ance by any portion o‘‘ the penple of
any ofthe States to the Constitution
and laws ol Ihe United States; and
whereas, it is desirable to reduce the
standing army, and to bring to a spee
dy termination military occupation,
martial laws, military tribunals, abridg
meat of freedom of speech, and of the
press, and suspension of the privilege
of habeas corpus, and the right of ttial
by jury, such encroachment upon our
free institutions in time ol peace being
dangerous to public liberty, incompati
ble with the individual rights of the |
person, contrary to the genius and spir
it of our Republican form of govern
ment, and exhaustive of the national
resources ; and whereas, it is believed
that amnesty and pardon will tend to
secure complete and universal establish
ment and prevalence of municipal hw
and oider in conformity with the con
stitution of the United States, and ter
minate all appearances or presumption
of a retaliatory or vindictive policy on
the part of the government, attended
by unnecessary disqualifications, pains
penalties, confiscations and disparage
ment ; and on the contrary, to promote
and preserve complete fraternal recon
ciliation among the whole people, with
due submission to the constitution and
laws :
Now. therefore, be it known that I
Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States do, by virtue of the con
slilution and in the name of the peo
ple of the United States, hereby pro
claim ami declare unconditionally, and
w thout re; ervation, to alt and every
person who directty or indirectly par
ticipated in the late insurrection or
rebellion, excepting such person or
persons as may be under presentment
or iudictraent in ar y court ofthe Unit' and
States, having criminal jurisdiction
upon a charge of treason or other fel
ony, a full patdou and amnesty for the
* offence of treason against the United
Stafes, or abetting to their enemies dt t
ing the civil war, with restoration of all
rights of property, except as to slaves
and except, also, as to any property of
! which any person may have been lcga 1 -
!y divested under the laws of the United
Sta'es.
In testimony whereof 1 have signed
these presents with my hand, and have
caused the seal ol the United States to
be hereunto affixed* Done on the 4th
of Julv, in the year of our Lord 1868,
and of the Independence ofthe United
States of America the 93d.

administer the oath except a Judge of
the Supreme or Superior Court.
The question was submitted to the
Senate, which permitted the President
to i roceed in administering the oath.
Minutes of Saturday read and con
firmed.
Mr. Harris moved that the Senate
proceeded to complete its organization
by the election of Doorkeeper, Mes
senger and Sergeant at arms.
Mr. Candler objected on the ground
that no such office as Sargeant-al*'
Arms was known in the Senate ol
Georgia.
Alter some discussion it was moved
to strike out Sergeant-at. Arms, which
was carried, and the Senate proceeded
to the election ol Door-Keeper.
Upon the fifth ballot Bphriam Thorn,
of JNewton, was declared elected.
The election of Messenger resulted
on the second ballot in the election ol
A. J. Cameron, of Telfair.

would now present themselves and
lake the necessary oath.
Nine new members were then sworn
in by Judge William Gibson.

resulted as follows, the vote being ta
ken viva voce :
M. A. Harden, of Bartow, 83 ; John
son, of Hart, 78.
The Speaker announced, that Mr.

merous competitors.

had on hand supply of
stationary, Mr. Price withdrew his
resolution.
Upon the Speaker’s announcing that
an election lor Doorkeeper was the
next business in order, some twelyeor
fifteen names were placed in nomina
tion. Tne first ballot disclosed the
fact that Capt. G. Whit. Anderson, of
Fulton, and R. F. Lineberg, of Hart
though neither of them elected, had
received the highest number of votes.
These gentlemen are both Democrats.
The Speaker then requested mem
bers to prepare for a second ballot,
pending which a motion from the Rad
ical side of the House was made for
adjournment. This motion was so
closely contested that the yeas aivd nays
were called for, which resulted in a
loss of the motion, when a second bal
lot for Doorkseperjvvas entered upon.
The second ballot was alike barren
jf a choice, when a motion to adjourn
until 12 o’clock on Tuesday prevailed.
