PRESIDENTS MESSEAGE.
We copy the beginning of Presi
dent Grau’t late Message to Congress,
in regard to the Status of Georgia. —
It- will be seen that he recommends
that- the negro be re-seated, and the
loth Amendment ratified, if it requires
th i ad ministration of the test oath to
doit “Let us have Peace.”
To the Senate and House of Representa
tives:
In coming before you for the first
time as Chief Magistrate of this great
nation, it is with gratitude to the giv
er of all good for the many benefits we
enjoy. We are blessed with peace at
home and without entangling alliances
abroad to forebode trouble. With a
territory unsurpassed in fertility, and
of an area equal to tbe abundant sup
port of five hundred millions of people;
abounding in every variety of useful
mineral in quality sufficient to supply
tiie world for generations, exuberant
crops, variety of climate adapted to
the production of every sped is of
earth’s riches, suited to the habits,
tastes, and requirements of every liv
ing thing; a population of 40.000,000
of free people speaking one language,
facilities for every mortal to acquire
education, institutions closing to no one
the avenues to fame or any blessmg
of fortune that may he coveted, free
dom of the pulpit, press and school,
revenue flowing into the National
Treasury beyond the requirements of
the Government. Happily, harmony
is rapidly restored within our own
borders, manufactures hitherto un
known in our country are springing up
in all sections, producing a degree of
natural independence unequalled by
any other power. These blessings and
countless others are entrusted to your
care and mine for safe keeping, for the
brief period of our term of office. In
a short time we must each of us re
turn to the ranks of the people who
have conferred our honors, and ac
count to them for our stewardship.—
I earnestly desire that ueither you nor
I may be condemned by a free and
enlightened constituency, nor by our
own consciences. Emerging from a
rebellion of gigantic magnitude, aided,
as it was, by the sympathies and as
sistance of a nation with which we
"ere hi, peace, K i c , ou ->i tLo
Union were, ftjui ,ca,o left wi.h
out legal State Governments. A q a _
tional debt had been contracted, Amer
ican commerce was almost driven from
the seas, the industry of one-half of
the country had been taken from the
control of the capitalist ind placed
where ail 1 tbor rightfully belongs, in
the keeping of the laborer. The work
of restoring State Government loyal
to the Union, of protecting and foster
ing free labor, providing means for
paying the interest on the public debt
has received ample attention from
Congress. Although your efforts have
not met with this success in all partic
ulars that might have been desired, yet
on the whole they have been more
successful than could have been rea
sonably anticipated. Seven States
which passed ordinances of secession
have been fully restored to their pla
ces in the Union, and the eighth, Geor
gia, held an election at which she rati
fied her constitution, republican in
form, elected a Governor, members of
Congress, a State Legislature, and oth
er officers required. The Governor
was installed, and the Legisleture met
and performed all octs then required
of them by the reconstruction acts of
Congress. Subsequently, however, in
violation the constitution w hich they
had just ratified— as since decided by
the Supreme C >urt of the State—they
unseated the colored members of the
legislature, and admitted to seats some
members who are disqualified by the
third clause of the XIV Amendment,
au article which they themselves had
contributed to ratify. U uder these
circumstances, I would submit to you
whether it would not be wise without
delay to enact a law authorizing the
Governor of Georgia to convene the
members originally elected to the
Legislature, requiring each to take the
oath provided by the reconstruction
acts, and none to be admitted who are
ineligible under the third clause of the
XIV Amendment.
THE DUTY OF GEORGIA.
The following article, taken from
the Columbus Enquirer, of December
4th, meets our hearty approbation,
and we commend it to our readers
and actors, for its good sen so and
sound logic:
A close calculation shows that if
Georgia stands firm in her rejection
of the loth Amendment, it will proba
bly be defeated. This gives addition
al importance to the reports of coali
tions iiere at nome to ootain her vote
for the Amendment, and of measures
by Congress to compel her to adopt it.
\Ve hope that bold tae home Coalitions
and the pressure at Washington will
utterly faiL Suppose that Congress
should resort to tue arbitrary and un
constitutional means proposed to pro
cure the vote of the State for the
Amendment; wh t would we lose by
it? We won! 1 be denied representa
tion in Con cress. But who cares for
tiat? Had we not better go unrepre
sented than‘o be represented by the
present claiuiUiiU oi seats in the
jtloosse—men who were never elooted
to tl is Congress, and two-thirds of
whom are not in political sympathy
with the people ? And suppose the
present State Government once
amended and then approved by Con
gress— should be set aside; would we
lose much by that ? Could we pos-iibly
be much worsted? Gov. Bullock
might lie retained in his present posi
tion; but it would be as “provisional”
Governor, and his term of office would
be considerably shortened by the up
setting. W* are indeed convinced that
the quickest way to get rid of the rad
ical rule uiif.inly imposed upon the
people of Georgia would be for Con
gress to declare the State organiza
tion incomplete, or inharmonious, or
irregular, or anti-Repnblican, or by
whatever disqualifying term tbe party
in power may choose to use, and to
set it aside as such. It certainly is
bogus and not in harmony with
the people of the State, and under the
preseut organization, it is saddled ou
u- for terms ranging from three to elev
en years. Military tyranny or “pro
visional” usurpation can’t last half as
long as the least of these terms, and
when they die they will “die all over.”
We are therefore clearly of the opin
ion that as a matter of policy, as well
as principle and duty, tbe people of
Georgia should firmly maintain then
integrity in the present crisis, and take
the consequences.
I'ldciuith t monument.
Mr. Peter B. Sweeney, well known
as one of the leaders of the New York
Tarnany Hal) Democracy, in a late con
versation with one of the reporters of
the New York Herald, said: “X think
that one of the first acts of the Demo
cratic Legislature of New York will be
to repeal the action of last winter, by
the Republican Legislature thereof, af
firming the Fifteenth Amendment.”—
This certainly would be eminently
proper. At the very election at which
the Legislature was chosen, a proposi
tion was submitted to the people
whether colored persons should vote.
It was decided in the negative, unless
they were possessed of a landed quali
fication. The Fifteenth Amendment
exacted no such test, and it is, there
foie, certain that the inhabitants of
New York are opposed to the Amend
ment. It was* adopted by a Legisla
ture elected before it was made an is
sue by its submission by Congress to
the State.
Iu this connection we notice a re
markable letter, addressed by Horace
Greely to General Benjamin F. Butler.
In his letter Greely confesses that ten
States suffice to defeat it, and that se
ven of these—New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, Cali
fornia and Oregon—are already be
yond hope. Why did not the editor
of the Tribune include Ohio, also? She
has rejected the amendment in the
m ist formal and explicit ten s. Her
act on will not be undone, but that cf
New York will, thus making nine States
against the Amendment. Georgia has
thus far declined to adopt it, and, we
hope, will be faithful to the eud. She
has the power to make the tenth State,
and to clinch the matter beyond ton
test. Virginia has adopted it under
compulsion, and her action will not
stand a judicial investigation. The
same compulsion is being attempted
iu Mississippi and Texas. We hone
mey will imitate Georgia auct Tennes
see and stand out against it to the last.
The recognition of their rights in the
Union may be delayed for a tliort
time, but they will speedily come. Any
forced adoption will be invalid. The
Indiana pretended adoption is void. —
The constitutional quorum was not
present when it was claimed to have
been carried.
Under these circumstances, will the
Radical party have the hardihood to
declare the Amendment adopted? —
Dare they so outrage the Constitution?
Many believe from past experience that
there is nothing from which they will
recoil, and that they will so proclaim
it. If they do so, they will find that
they have a king with disputed succes
sion. Although they first packed their
jury, and before the ease was made up
elected the men who wore to try it, yet,
nevertheless, enough of that jury have
rejected it, or refused to adopt it, to
kill it. Herein is the only point for tbe
Democracy to consider. The Fifteenth
Amendment has not and can not be a
dopted by the constitutional majority
of the States. But if the influences
which forced it upon the country de
clare it ratified, then the question will
be, what is to be done ? The Federal
authority has really no more right to
proclaim its ratification than it has co
proclaim a king. If it is done, we rely
upon the Courts to set it aside.— Cin
cinnati Enquirer.
Going to Texas.
Wo are sorry to see a revival of the
Texas emigration in a portion of North
ern Georgia. At the best, emigration
from Georgia to any other State of the
Union is a doubtful expedient. Very
seldom have we heard of any man who
improved his condition and prospects
by the change; and we never yet saw
such a case. But just now we hold
such movements peculiarly inopportune.
Landed property is fast rising in
value in that section, and probably this
is the reason of the emigration. Peo
ple, for the first time for some years,
are able to sell out at what they think
a fair price, and they wish to improve
the opportunity in fear that it may not
occur again. They forget that what
seems to be a fair price now, will per
haps look like a great sacrifice a few
years lienee. We judge of prices sole
ly by comparison, and when they get
off to Texas and hear that lands in their
old vicinity hare got to be worth twice
as much as they sold the old home
stead place for, they will feel cheaper
than any property they may have bo’t
in Texas.
The truth is, Northern Georgia will
nropably improve faster than any other
section of the State, It combines the
advantages of Northern and Southern
climates. It produces the crops of both
sections, and most of the comforts of both
sections. The whole of that great belt
of country stretching down along the
Blue Ridge and constituting the great
Virginia valley and the valley of East
Tennessee an and Northern Georgia
and Alabama, is the graudest and most
•valuable country on the continent of
North America, and will soon be peo
pled by perhaps the most intelligent,
1 rosperous and interesting population
cf Uie United Suites. It will be* the
abode of weal n, refinement and cul
ture. A tract ot land there is going to
be worth more than so many acres in
any other farming regu n—for here
mining, manufacturing, all the mechan
ic aids and agriculture are destined to
au intimacy of co-existence and a prof
itable contiguity r.ndrt 1 itionship, which
is attainable no where else on the Amer
ican continent; because the same natu
ral conditions of exhaust less mineral
wealth, illimitable water power, extra
ordinary fertility of soil, and length of
season, mildness and healthfuiuess of
climate are accumulated so grandly no
where else. The greatest facilities for
jirogies-. in all the three grand divisions
of human enterprise aie here clustered
together with unexampled prodigality.
We think the people of that section
should consider well before they ex
change their interests in such a coun
ty for lands in Texas.— Tel. and Mess.

The bill to enforce Republican Gov

Wednesday next. This bill requires
that Georgia ratify the 15th amend
ment. A close count renders Georgia’s
ratification necessary to the adoption
of the amendment.
The part of the message urging ad
ditional legislation for Georgia, elicited
applause. The part urging Virginia’s
early admission, was read in silence*—
It was apprehended that Southern
conservatives had been over sanguine.

COMMUNICATED.
M e Editor: The news having reach
ed me that innocent parties have been
accused of writing the communications
over the non de plume of “Tell-Tale, 7
tvuii..u ini vc appeared m your paper
from time to time, within the last few
months, and that said communications
have caused ill feelings between some
of the ladies, I desire to correct the
mistake, thereby acquitting innocent
parties of an unjust accusation.
I am the author of the communica
tions—they were written at my own
suggestion and of my own free will
and accord, and for which I am per
sonally resposible. I have personated
no one, unless they chose to make it
personal, therefore, I have nothing
to retract. Ail I have said, has been
through the kindest of feelings to alb
and merely to have a little fun; but, if
parties will insist upon making it a se
rious matter, and assert that they are
the ones to whom “Tell-Tale” alluded,
we cannot but think that they plead
guilty to the charges, and we would
refer them to the old, bat true adage,
“A guilty conscience is its own accus
er.”
We have also heard it whispered
around, Mr. Editor, tilixt you are the
author of the articles. I desire to in
form those who were silly enough to
entertain such an absurd opinion as
this, that the Editor of this paper was
absent when the first communication
appeared, and knew nothing about it,
until he saw it in print. He seated in
an editorial notice, that he was not re
sponsible for the matter contained in
that paper, that he had left it in my
charge. The idea of a man or woman
charging the editor ox a newspaper, oi
appearing in ail article over a fictitious
signature, in the columns of his own
paper, is perfectly ridiculous aud
extrmely absurd, and as contemptible
as are those who make such charges.
We have no hesitancy in positively as
serting that the editor of this paper,
if he desired to write an articlo of
that sort, would do it, and" publish it
i;i his editorial columns.
We know that it is merely curiosity
and a disposition to pn into, and inter
meddle with other people’s affairs,
that has created this little disturbance
in regard to “Tell-Tale’s” communica
tions, and we have concluded to grati
fy them by giving our name, and there
by, furnish a theme for quid nuncs, and
tattlers, for a short time, at least. —
We desire to say, just here, that “Tell-
Tale” will continue to “gas" whenever
he sees proper, and if it does not meet
the approbation of the very fastidous,
modest and sensitive citizens of Car
tersville, we certainly will write on,
anyhow !
With the sincere desire that all
whom we have offended, will ask our
forgiveness, wo remain very modestly
and respectfully,
“Tjt l-Tatt.” ah'as J. T. Gibson,

a pall upon the people, while heart-sick
they gazed upon the wide-spread de

reaction came, and “Hil desjaerandum ”
was the cry, and our people laid hold
of the axe, the plough, and the hce, and

A Wonderful Southern Discov
ery.
In the South where Liver complaint
and bilious diseases prevail to such a
great extent, there has long been felt
a need of a medicine that would act
‘specifically and promptly on the Liver
restoring it to its normal functions, and
at the same time be safe from after es
facts, and yet so simple that it might
be used by any one. It is claimed that
Dr. Tutt’s Vegetable Liver Pills sup.
plies this want. They act directly on
the Liver; their constant use will not
injure in the slightest degree the most
delicate constitution. Females at any
period may use them with great bene
fit, and realize great relief from ti e
distressing nausea which they experi
ence at certain times. These pills are
not recommended as a ‘universal cure
all,’ but simply for diseased Liver, and
those maladies which follow a derauge
ment of that important organ, such as
Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Indigestion
Loss of Appetite, Costiveness, Piles,
Jaundice, Sour Stomach, Ladies Heart
burn, Chills and Fever, Foul Breath
Restlesness at night, and Flatulency.—

THE
RAMSDELL NORWAY OATS.
Have been tested by prominent planters in
every State in the South the past season,
who report yields of from 80 to 150 bushels
per acre, weight and quality superior so all
others. Unlike all other Oats it has a
healthy growth, roots striking deep, and
not easily affected by drougth, *hjle it*
stalks aro sufficiently strong to b th*
heavy burden of grain without lodging.—
In fact they overcome all the difficulties
heretofore experienced in production of
small grain in the South.
It should bo sown in Spring one bushel
of seed to the acre. It will spread uu.il ’bo
ground is completely covered tvi* i hm
riant growth. If too thickly seeded tt v. .M
choke itself,

Counterfeit seed is being sold for our va
riety in large quantities. The genuine coed
can only be had at our Depo:s, and of our
appointed agents, who m us- bo able to show
our bills and Trade Mark.
Price per bushels, $7 50; half bushel jl:
per peck, $2,50. Send by exp ress on re
