"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. [Jtur the Express ] 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. Andrew Johnson. By the President. William Seward, Secretary of Slate. Georgia legislature. Monday, July 6, 1868. Senate. —Senate met at 10 o’clock, am., pursuant to adjournment, and was called to order by the President. Prayer by the Rev. Wes'ey Pretty man. The President then called for Sen ators absent on Saturday to come for ward and be qualified* Two Senators came forward, where upon. Mr. Candler, of D.'Kalb, stated that the Code provided that no one could 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. A resolution was introduced by Mr, Adkins authorizing the President to request someone of the different Past tors of the city of Atlanta, alternately, to perform the duties of Chaolain to this body, and failing to obtain some one ofthe several Pastors of the Chur ches of this city, to request one of its body who are clergymen. Adopted, Moved by Mr. Wooten, that a com mittee together with such committees as may be appointed by the House of Representatives wait on provisional Governor R. B. Bullock and inform him that both Houses are now organ ized and ready to receive sucli message and other rfocninenis, as it may be proper to transmit to them. Adopt ed. The President appointed on the Committee Messrs. Harris, Spear and Candler, On motion of Mr. A, A. Bradley, (colored,) the Senate adjourned to meet at 10 o’clock to-morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House assembled at 10 o’clock a. m., Speaker McWhorter in the chair. Prayer by Rev. Mr.Quillian, The roll called, and the first days proceedings read, by Mr. J. T. Tay lor, Acting Clerk. The Speaker announced that a num ber ol members had arrived since the House was organized, and that they would now present themselves and lake the necessary oath. Nine new members were then sworn in by Judge William Gibson. The election of Clerk of the House 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. Harden having received the reduisite majority, was duly elected Clerk of the | Aouse. Mr. Harden was then qualified as Principal Clerk ; L Carrinston, as As sistant, or Reader at the Desk ; H. F. Merrell, as Journalizing Clerk, and S. B. Ciighorn as Chief Engrossing Clerk The Speaker announced that the j next business in order was the election of a Messenger, when a motion for ad' j journment was made but lost by nays j 81. yeas 70. The vote for Messenger j was proceeded with, and resulted ir j the election of Jesse Oslin, on tlie first j ballot by a large majority over his nil- ! merous competitors. Mr. Price oflered a resolution that proposals be received lor furnishing stationery for the House, but upon the announcement being made that the office ol the Secretary of State already 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. Jit. Cv institution. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. HOUSE AID LOT FOR SALE.
