Good Business.—One grocery house
in Columbus sent, on yesterday, four
cars heavily loaded with provisions to
different parties on the Mobile and Gi
rard Railroad.
4-11-44— Lottery Gone Ur.—After
a hard and desultory struggle for life,
the branch of the Georgia Slate Lottery
in this place has succumbed for want of
stamps. On yesterday afternoon the
Sheriff was taking off the big wheel and
all the little paraphernalia, by the aid
of which a little boy with a shade over
his eyes, was accustomed to draw out
large prizes for numerous lucky holders
of tickets —in a horn. “Farewell, a
long, a last farewell.” Brother Jackson
will please raise the tune.
Officers of the Eagle and Phenix
Manhf’g Co.— The meeting of the
stockholders of this establishment held
yesterday,was the largest and most en
thusiastic which has ever met. The
following Board of Directors was re
elected : N. J. Bussey, W. 11. Young,
W. L. Parramore, Charles Rogers, 8.
B. Warnock.
At a subsequent meeting, Dr. N. J.
Bussey was re-elected President, and
G. Gunby Jordan Secretary and Treas
urer.
The Directors declared, from the
earnings of 13G9, a cash dividend of
$62,500, being five per cent, on the en
tire capital stock, payable, as will be
seen by notice, on and after the first of
February. They passed to the credit Os
the Reserved Fund the remaining $34,-
000 of the profits on the year. During
the twelve months their net profits have
amounted to nearly 8 per cent. We be
lieve the number of shares amount to
12,500—each representing SIOO. It
will be remembered the profits men
tioned are the results of the work of
only one mill. The other one, “No.
2,” will be in operation in a short time.
New Mode of Baptism.—Beecher’s
paper, the Christian Union, publishes
an article to show that all Christians are
astray on tho form of baptism. The
apostolic method was that of immer
sion, as held by Baptists, not immer
sion as they practice it, but immersion
naked. Acts viii., 12. “They were
baptised both men and women” is un
derstood as meaning males were im
mersed naked by males, and females
naked by females.
Tennessee Next.—As soon as the
Virginia bill is disposed of, it is under
stood that an attempt will be mado to
liavo the Reconstruction Committee
take up tho question of the proposed in
terference by Cougresswith the State
of Tennessee. In this way the new is
sue will bo squarely raised as to wheth
er tho Republican party in Congress
will take another step in advance of its
present policy, and attempt to regulate
the internal affairs of a State fully rep
resented in both houses of Congress.
Aoiians in ttie Camp.—Northern
Radical journals contain a special dis
patch from Atlanta, in whicn the fol
lowing occurs:
Seventeen Democratic members of
the House and three Democratic Sena
tors who were in the old organization,
and at that time took the oath declaring
themselvos to be “all eligible,” have
mado written applications to be relieved
of their political disabilities, and refuse
to yield to party pressure nnd take the
oath at this time.
With the aid of these renegades, after
Terry has purged tho Legislature, Bul
lock will havo things his own way. We
would be pleased to receive suggestions
from tho “Actiouists” as to how Geor
gia can then be protected from robbery
and oppression.
Nherninu nn<l Terry.
The Richmond Dispatch of tho 15th
inst. has a special telegram from Wash
ington, from which we make the fol
lowing interesting extract.
The correspondent sending the dis
patch says that Grant and Belknap are
very wolfish towards the Democrats in
tho Georgia Legislature, and desire
them to be immediately arrested and
tried for perjury. He then, goes on :
General Terry, military commander
in Georgia, is in constant cypher cor
respondence with General Sherman,
making statements and asking for in
structions in reference to matters daily
coming before him for decision. Gen
eral Sherman stated to-day that the
correspondence, in a great measure,
was purely military, and that he did
not desire its publication ; that Terry
was the military chief or Governor of
Georgia as implied by tho reconstruc
tion acts, and he was oi a very sensi
tive nature, and that his object was to
try and get things right in that State.—
So far he (General Sherman) would ap
prove of General Terry’s acts, and
would give instructions, &c. ; but that
in no case would he allow General Ter
ry to view any question in a partisan
light, or render any decision or give
any order in which a partisan view
could bo taken. lie had not ordered
Terry to arrest any of the members of
the Legislature for alledgcd perjury.—
The courts arc in existence, and if any
of them have been guilty of such a sin
they should be •promptly indicted and
tried ; but until so tried and found guil
ty, they should not be deprived of their
seats in the Legislature.
The portion of the dispatch we have
italicised will read strangely to Geor
gians, in view of the proceedings of the
Military Commission now sitting in
Atlanta.
Either Sherman or the correspondent,
of the Dispatch has lied, or Terry, by
depriving the members of their seats
without indictment and trial, is tran
scending his authority. “Sensitive” as
General Terry may be, there is no es
cape from this conclusion.
Alcorn Will not he a Provisional
Governor.— General Alcorn has writ
ten a letter to General Ames declining
the Provisional Governorship, and says
that “Coming from military authority,
and subject for its support to the milita
ry power, the fitness of things appears
to me to forbid my acceptance of it,
while I hold an immediate prospect of
the position of civil Governor by that
sanction most acceptable to my instincts
as an American citizen—that of popu
lar choice. I may, perhaps, be indulged,
and I am frank in confession, that under
the fellowship of error and chastise
ment, by which I am bound to the
Southern people, I am constrained, by
the irresistible force of my heart, to
draw back from any lot or part in the
government by any other right than
that of their own conscience.”
Heavy Shipment of Mules.—Sev
enty-two car loads of mules arrived in
this city yesterday, per the Western
and Atlantic railroad, or about 1,400 j
head. The freight on each car was S7B :
or $5,616. —Atlanta Const.
Josh Billinags, remarking about the j
pew-renting system, says that such a j
thing was never heard of in Africa. |
A Lesson for Those Who Can Team.
A correspondent from New York
writes to the Cincinnati Commercial
about a theatrical performance he had
just witnessed:
“One of the items of the varied pro
gramme of the evening was the appear
ance on the stage of a number of char
acteristic figures representing the nota
ble men of the day—such as Fisk,
Greeley, Grant, Lee, and perhaps half
a dozen others. The figures walked to
the foreground from behind a curtain,
appearing in succession, one at a time.
Most of them excited but feeble interest
in the audience, and called forth only a
little laughter. When the figure of
Grant appeared, however, clad in mili
tary costume and smoking a cigar, there
were some signs of waking up in the
house, and I should say that about one
fourth of the audience applauded and
another quarter hisaed, while fully one
half of the whole body took no part
with either side but maintained their
ordinary stillness.
“Immediately after the counterfeit
presentment of General Grant had dis
appeared, the figure of General Lee,
grave, stately and white bearded, stood
in the foreground; and instantly the
house rang with long continued ap
plause that seemed to come from the
whole body of spectators. There were
doubtless persons present who did not
join in the acclamations; but certainlv
one would rarely see or hear a more
vigorous demonstration in any theatre
than was made on this occasion, upon
the appearance of the Southern rebel
leader.
“I do not attempt to account for this
incident, or for such incidents, which
are now, and always have been, fre
quent enough in New York. But i was
glad, that General Butler and Senator
Sumner were not in the audience, for
they would doubtless have hastened
back to Waskington and concocted a
! bill for putting New York under milita
ry government.”
j Congress has grown frantic time and
time again, when Southern audiences
have cheered “Dixie,” “The Bonnie
Blue Flag,” or allusions to any of their
trusted and honored chioftaius. What
will Congress say to this rank and un
disguised “treason” and “disloyalty”
in New York? It will not do to say
that this demonstration could occur
nowhere else than in New York. The
same exhibition would have produced
the same results anywhere in this
country, outside of New Eugland. We
have heard Grant, Butler and others
j ridiculed, mercilessly ridiculed, by nig
ger minstrels in the City of Washington,
amid the cheers of the audience. We
once witnessed a scene of this kind
when Grant and Butler were boih
present, and when the feeble hisses of
radicals were drowned by storms of
applause. There is a lesson in it all, •
full of deep meaning. Grant does not
inspire popular esteem, confidence, ad.
miration or respect. General Lee and
his compeers in arms of the Southern
cause do. And some day in the future
the demonstration made within the
walls of a New York theatre will be re
peated upon a grander stage, with the
American people for an audience, and
the throats of millions of men, tired of
oppression and wrong, to swell the ap
plause. This little incident will do to
lay by carefully. It will do service
again.
“Tom I'alue” not an Atheist.
We mentioned some time ago that
ex-Judge Alex. C. Morton, of our city,
one of the sons of the late W alter
Morton, of Scotland, who was one of
the executors of the will of Thomas
I’aine, and his life time friend, had in
preparation a work to bo styled “The
Life and Writings of Thomas Paine.”
We learn that its publication has been
deferred, and still is deferred, by reason
of the conflicting offers of various pub
lishing houses for the copyright. Much
discussion is now being had about “Tom
Paine,” as the “Spiritualists” are
claiming him. The “Religio Journal,
Philosophical,” of Chicago, Jan. 15th,
has a long article on the subject. We
know Mr. Morton, and have conversed
with him about the “atheism of Paine.”
From what will appear in his forthcom
ing work, lie has shown us, and permits
us to publish, the following:
“He was not an atheist or an infidel,
nor was he a scoffer of religious views
and teachings; but he had his own 1 He
promulgated them in his ‘Age of Rea
son,’ when he wrote, ‘I believe in one
God, and hope for a future existence.
The key of Heaven is not in the keep
ing of any sect, nor ought tho road
to it to be obstructed by any.’ To
Samuel Adams, in 1803, he wrote: ‘I
trouble not myself about the manner of
future existence. I content myself
with believing, even to a positive con
viction, that the power which gave me
existence is able to continue it in any
form and manner he pleases, either
with or without this body; and it ap
pears more probable to me, that I shall
continue to exist hereafter, than that I
should have had existence as I now
have, before that existence began. I
consider myself in the hands of my
Creator, and that He will dispose of me
after this life consistently with his
goodness and justice.”
When Thomas Paiue died, his friend
Walter Morton was at his bedside, and
he afterwards published what follows:
“Iu his religious opinions, he contin
l ued to the last as steadfast and tenacious
j as any sectarian to the definition of his
! own creed. He never, indeed, broach
! ed the subject first, but to intrusive and
j inquisitive visitors, who came to try
| him on that point—his general answer
j was to this etfect: ‘My opinions are
I now before the world, and all have had
i an opportunity to refute them if they
| can. I believe them unanswerable
j truths, and that I have done great ser
vice to maukiud by boldly putting them
j forth. Ido not wish to argue upon the
subject now. I have labored disinter
estedly iu the cause of truth.’ I shook
his hand after the use of speech was
gone, but while the other organs told
mo sufficiently that he knew me and
appreciated my affection, his eye glist
ened with genius under the pangs of
death.”
We snail look with interest for the
publication of Judge Morton’s work.
Matters in Atlanta. —From our
State exchanges we gather, that Senator
Edmunds has telegraphed to Atlanta, to
the effect that Bullock has no right to
interfere in the organization of the Leg
islature, and that Congress will not
sanction anything that is not fair. It
is also said that the Military Commis
sion will not declare the Senators and
Representatives on trial ineligible.—
i Further, that Bullock is on down grade,
and Fatty Harris is to be arrested, &c.,
' &c. Whereupon some of our brethren
I of the quill are hopeful, others jubilant.
We see no reason to change our opin
ions. It seems to us that Terry does!
whatever Bullock tells him to do, and
that Bullock enjoys to the fullest extent
the confidence and support of Grant,
| and that the whole of them, Bullock,
- Terry, Grant, Edmunds, the Congress
and the Radical party generally, are
j c :termined to push their schemes to
success, if bribery and force can accom
plish such a result.
Too Much Elocution.- -The Savan-1
nah News says: Bishop Beckwith faint- i
ed twice during the services at Christ j
Church on Sunday evening. His labors
during Saturday and Sunday, were most
fatiguing, and those added to the crowd-j
ed condition of the Church, caused his
physical powers to succumb. We are
happy, however, to state that he expe- j
riences no serious illness from the above j
mentioned indisposition.

ALABAMA LEGISLATURE.
Tuesday.—ln the Senate, House bill
was passed to provide for tho payment
of the Rail Road bonds issued by the
town of Troy. Senate bills were pass
ed, to establish the city court of Eufau
la; to provide for a vote to locate the
county site of Russell; for the relief of
W. W. Dawkins, a minor, of the coun
ty of Lee ; ior the relief of Louisiana
Lester, of Russell county, from the dis
abilities of divorce; for the relief of
Mary West, of Barbour county; to
amend an act to fix the time of holding
courts in the 4th judicial circuit and
to attach Colbert county to the same
circuit. The Mobile city bill, as tele
graph ed yesterday, was passed.
In the House, Senate bills to remove
disabilities of James W. Hansfield, of
Pike, and J. M. Roquemore and I. J.
Johnson, of Barbour counties, were
passed. On the call of the counties, bills
were introduced to protect bastard
children by making the father responsi
ble for their support; to promote sound
morals and social justice in Alabama,
by allowing the two sexes to cohabit,
provided they are liberal in their con
duct, and are willing to occupy the re
lationship of man and wife ; to legalize
a sale of lands in Macon county by
Helen Ferrel; for the the relief of J. S.
Colbert, of Macon county ; to prescribe
the time in which the notes of banking

ize Judges of the Probate to confirm

Mr. Randalph introduced a bill for
the relief of all persons who married
during the late war. A bill to be entitl
ed an act to relieve all persons who
were married during the late rebellion ;
Whereas, the large majority of the peo
ple at the South who were joined in the
bonds of wedlock are dissatisfied with
their bargains ; And, whereas, the Su
preme Court of the State of Alabama
has decided that all judgments rendered
duridg the late war are null and void.
Sec. 1. Therefore, be it enacted by
the General Assembly of Alabama, that
all marriages executed during the late
war, the licenses for which were grant
ed by the so called officers of the so call- i
ed Confederate Government—which
Government: has, by the highest legal
authorities, been decided to be not a
de facto Government, are, and the same
are hereby declared to be null and void;
and the parties, male and female, that,
may have been so joined together dur
ing said time of the existence of the so- ,
called Confederate Government, be, and
the same are declared to be released, a
mensa et thoro. All of which were read j
twice, and referred to committees.
Taking; ttae Oath.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial gives the follow
ing picture of “Taking the Oath” by
the nigs and scalawags :
Since the war the human intellect has
been racked in attempting to produce
oaths that would make loyalty to bloom
and blossom in the savannas and
swamps of the South ; that would cause
a man to fall down and worship the flag
that he hates, and kiss the hand that
smites him.
But of all the oaths yet manufactured
and sent down here, the tightest one is
that which accompanied the Georgia
bill, and which each member of the
Legislature must swallow before he can
take his seat. Ben Butler and Bullock
are said to have spent many a weary
hour in its manufacture, and to have
rejoiced with exceeding great joy when
they contemplated the thing after all its
finishing touches had been put ou. In
addition to other matters, too numerous
to mention, a man must swear that he
never held any sort of an office under
the State Government while Georgia
was out of the Union. With one sweep
ing clause, it includes all officers from
Governor down to a freight car brake
man on the State road.
I went up this morning to the room
of Major Williams, at the Capitol, who
is engaged iu administering the iron
clad frog to all members who have the
nerve to take it.
One of the Solons were present, look
ing at the thing through his spectacles,
and occasionally stopping to clear out
his throat. It was evident that he con
templated making way for it to go down.
After reading it two or three times, he
made the observation that “she was
pretty tight.” Nevertheless, he took
it, and his name was duly recorded with
a great deal of solemnity, in half a
dozen books, where it will be handy for
the Radical smelling committee and
their omnibus load of lawyers whom
they have employed to prosecute all
cases of perjury under the act.
“How many have taken it ?” I in
quired of Major Williams.
“Only about thirty, and some of them
negroes.”
"Do the negroes take it without much
difficulty ?”
“Oh, yes; they will take anything.
There can’t be no oath fixed up that
they won’t take, if you give them a
chance. They love to swear.”
From the room frog is ad
ministered to the Governor’s reception
apartment the route is easy, but one
door being between. In fact, the only
way to reach the frog is to go through
the reception room. Here were collect
ed a miscellaneous throng, without dis
tinction of race, color or previous con
dition. A bevy of clerks, with their
heads nicely combed, their clothes
nicely brushed and their boots nicely
blacked, were dodging about, making a
great bustle, and not accomplishing
anything particular.
Two burly negroes, with no white
blood of consequence in them, were
seated at a table, each with a mammoth
pen and holder behind his ear, after the
manner of a fashionable hotel clerk.
One was reading the morning papers,
and the other was writing, taking care
however not to use the pen behind his
ear, but another one, that behind the
ear probably being exclusively for orna
ment as an honorary distinction.
Presently a small swarm of colored
members came in—full fifteen thousand
dollars’ worth, if we were back in good
old Democratic times. Among them
was Senator Bradley, from Savannah,
who has the reputation among the Deni
crats, of being a “mean nigger.” The
Senator was well dressed, wore a plug
hat, sported eye glasses, carried a cane,
and had his hands closed in kid gloves.
He certainly has the address and man
ners of a geutleman.
The returned prodigals—not exactly
prodigals either—were in the jollyest
humor. “Didn’t I tell you we’d meet
again. Ah, I know’d it,” to which
another replied by wondering what the
“Democrats think now.” After a great
deal of hand-shaking an 1 general jolli
fication, they adjourned into the frog
room to swallow that animal. Bradley
was sworn first, and seemed to take
down tho thing with a relish which a
Democrat would have envied. He
signed his name in a plain, bold hand,
in a manner indicating that he was ac
customed to the use of a pen. It was
much better than Horace Greeley could
have done.
Agricultural. —We had a very in
teresting conversation a few days ago,
with one of the most successful cotton
planters in this section of the State, and
proceed to lay before our readers a few
of the grounds on which he bases his
success.
He came to this county some twenty
years ago, and commenced the produc
tion of cotton on a very small scale, be
cause of the lack of means to go exten
sively into it. After the first year he
never bought a peck of corn or a pound
of bacon until the war broke out, and to
a considerable extent raised his working
stock, thus making nearly the whole
proceeds of his cotton crop clear profit.
To this production of home supplies as
far as practicable, he ascribes his suc
cess.
He is well known in this community
as a fir-seeing, energetic man, econom
ical with his resources, and prudent in
their investment.
In reviewing his policy he perceives
no error, exceptjinsufficient attention to
the production of home supplies. From
past experience he is convinced that
horses and mules can be raised in the
country at a much less cost than they
can be obtained from the stock-prodnc
ing States. Thinks we need winter
grass, but in its absence, finds an excel
lent substitute in rye and wheat for
winter pasture. Says he (and we fully
concur), there is no better hay than can
be made of our crow foot grass. He in
tends this year to sow a few acres in
oats, and after the oats are made, pre
pare the ground for a crop of crow-foot
hay. He intends also to plant the same
quantity of ground in cotton, and com
pare the cost and pronducts of the two
plats of ground. He thinks that devo
ted to oats and hay will prove the most
profitable. We shall with interest
await the result of this experiment.
If onr planters would engage more
extensively in such experiments, North
ern hay would not, many years, find
sale here at from $2 to 2.50 per hundred
pounds, while large crops of oats would
greatly diminish the demand for corn,
which is not a very profitable crop in
this part of the country.— Albany News

Radical Notabilities Interviewed.
Halbert, Bullock, Blodgett and a
Nigger.
The Cincinnati Commercial, an en- j
terprising journal, and barring its bad
politics, a most excellent one, has sent j
down a special correspondent to do the ,
Georgia Legislature, but what Clisby,
of the Telegraph and Messenger, face- (
tiously and correctly dubs the “Con
gressional Agency.” The said corres- i
pondent, after doing Dr. Bard and Col. ,
Avery, milked Hulbert, Bullock, Blod
gett and a nigger, with the following
result:
I next saw Colonel Hulbert, candi
date for United Stateß Senator, and the
man whose official head, as Superin
tendent of the State road, was cut off
by Governor Bullock last week. The
Colonel is, and has been, a great enthu
siast upon the subject of the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad, and the first thing
he said was an inquiry about the pros
pect of that enterprise. “I see,” said
he, “that the bill has been passed by
the Tennessee Legislature, though with
some amendments. What do you think
Kentucky will do with it ?”
I replied that the Kentucky Legisla
ture would most probably pass the bill,
though Louisville would make a deter
mined fight against it, ana followed up
the observation by expressing my re
grets that the Colonel should have been
removed from a position where he
could do much to aid the enterprise.
"Yes,” he replied, “but Bullock and
his crowd wanted to get rid of me. You
see, I was in their way, and they want
ed me out. But Bullock could not have
done a better thing for me than to re
move me at the time he did. I am
known to be a moderate Republican,
and opposed to the extreme measures of
the ultra wing of the party. That is
what was the matter. I want Georgia
to remain in the hands of the Republi
cans, but the only way to accomplish
that is to be moderate and just. There
are plenty of good men iu both the Ro
publican aud Democratic parties to save
the State. We needless politics and
politicians, and more attention to the
development of our resources. Ihe
country for two hundred ruiles arouad
Chattanooga, which includes Atlanta,
and reaches below here, is the richest
mineral country in the world.”
“I understand,” said I, “that you are
a candidate for the United States Sen
ate, and from what I hear, your chances
for election are good.”
“Yes,” he replied, “lam a candidate,
and, if elected, I shall do my best to
serve the interests of the State.”
“Will Bullock boa candidate ?”
“I hear that he will, though I can’t
say positively.”
“It is a question with me whether
there will he any Senators to elect or
uot, as two have already been elected.”
“Yes,” replied the Colonel, “that’s a
question with tne, too. Miller and Hill
have been elected, but whether their
election will he held valid or uot I can’t
say. I suppose the matter will come to
an issue by the election of two more
Senators, and the application ot all tour
for their seats. The Senate will then
have to decide who arc the legally elect
ed ones.”
“Do you think the Fifteenth Amend
ment will he ratified ?”
“I do, and the expelled negroes re
seated. It will then devolye upon the
moderate men of both parties to legis
late for the good of our whole State.
Moderation in council is what is needed
now. We have had enough extreme
work. We need peace.”
“Who has Bullock appointed in your
stead as Superintendant of the State
road?”
“Foster Blodgett.”
“Is he the fellow whom they had in
jail up at Chicago for maltreating a
Union man in Augusta, in 1861 ?"
“Yes,” replied the Colonel, laughing;
"I believe that he is.”
“Is he a railroad man ?”
“Not that I ever heard of. The fact
is,” he continued, “the State road has
always been used as a sort of political
machine, and it always will he as long
as it is the property of the State, and
controlled by the Governor. It ought
to be sold out, and the money put in
the Treasury.”
INTERVIEW WITn OOVERNOR BULLOCK.
Going around to the National Hotel,
I saw a tall, well proportioned, hand
some man walking back and forth in
the corridor, quietly smoking a cigar,
and looking very well contented with
himself and everybody else.
“Who is that gentleman ?” I inquired
of an African brother.
“That ’ar are Governor Bullock.”
“He’s a fine-looking man.”
“Yes, sah,” replied the African, “he’s
the puniest man in Jaw-jaw.”
I thought the sable gentleman’s pro
nunciation very appropriate, as the
State is about all jaw jaw at present.
A carriage drove up, the Governor
got in, and was rapidly whirled away
toward the Capitol. Presently, I went
around to the same building, determined
to still further investigate into the mer
its of the muddle. Ascending a flight
of steps, I was soon standing before a
door marked “Governor’s Reception
Room.” I went in. A young man
was sitting at a table writing; a fat
man was sitting on a sofa; a negro was
sealing up a package of money in a large
envelope with sealing-wax, but whether
it was money that the terrible Radicals
had stolen from the treasury or not, I
am unable to say, for I did not inquire;
and a man who was neither young nor
old, nor lean nor fat, nor yet a negro,
was standing in the middle of the room
with his hands in his breeches pockets,
apparently absorbed in theught.
As the Gevernor sat in his easy chair
quietly but rapidly transacting what
ever business came before him, it was
hard to imagine him to be that terrible
monster so graphically depicted in the
Democratic press. He docs not look
like a thief, murderer, perjurer, villain
and grand rascal generally, though he
is freely charged with being all these
and more, by his enemies in this State.
His personal and political enemies are
far more numerous than his friends.—
Os course the Democrats aro his ene
mies, aud they are both numerous and
noisy. Then the Republican party has
split square in two, and one half of it
vies with the Democrtcy in heaping
abuse upon the Governor. By this
means people outside of the State, as
well as those in it, are apt to found
opinions of him not warranted by the
facts.
Present business being over, and the
various applicants, complainants and
respondents having made their hows
and departed, the Governor proceeded
to talk about the muddle : “You have
doubtless read in tho papers,” he said,
“that Congress had no more right to
interfere with the affairs of Georgia than
it would with the affairs of Ohio or New
York. This is a wrong view of the
case. Georgia has never been fully re
constructed and restored to her place in
the Union, and until that is done Con
gress has the right to dictata to us. To
be sure, we framed a Constitution under
the reconstruction laws; we elected a
Governor and Legislature, and set the
wheels of Government in motion. But
General Meade, who was commander of
the District at the time, was too lenient
and allowed several disqualified mem
bers-elect to the Legislature to take their
seats. This gave the Democrats a ma
jority, and to secure themselves in pow
er they expellad the colored members.
This was the beginning of trouble. Our
Congressmen and Senators were not
allowed to take their seats, and we were
not admitted back iuto the Union.—
Such being the facts, Congress saw fit
to require that the colored men he re
seated, and that the Fifteenth Amend
ment be ratified. Those terms are im
posed upon us as a condition precedent
to our readmission to the Union.”
“Will there have to be anew election
of Senators ?’’ 1 inquired.
“I think there will, though there aro
those who think otherwise. To be sure,
the last act of Congress says nothing
about it; but as Messrs. Miller and Hill
were elected by a Legislature contain
ing many members who had no legal
rights to their seats, and as their work
has not been recognized by Congress,
it is clear to my mind that the Sena
torial election will have to be gone over
again.”
“Do you think Miller and Hill will be
candidate again ?”
“I do not. They, of course, will
claim to have been legally elected, and
to become candidates again will estop
them from so claiming.
“I see it reported in some of the
Northern papers that about a dozen of
Radical members of the Legislature
have been assassinated since last ses
sion.”
“That is not true,” replied the Gov
ernor; “only three members have died
violent deaths—two Radicals and one
Democrat. The two Radicals were
murdered for political reasons. In
short, they were basely assassinated.
The Democrat was killed by a negro. I
As the story goes, the negro was at
work for the deceased, and thejdeoeased j
came out in the field to chastise him,
bringing a loaded pistol with him. A
scuffle ensued, in which the negro
wrenched the pistol from tho hands of i
the white man and killed hint. It was
not a political difficulty.”
I “I see you have been offering large
j rewards for the apprehension of ctimi-
I nals. Does such a course have a ten
; dency to check lawlessness ?”
“I think it does," replied the Gover
nor, “though the largest rewards! have
offered have never been called for. This
is because of personal fear. Men who
have murdered an individual because
he was a Radical, would not hesitate to
murder any one who might attompt to
apprehend them. Beside, they havo
many friends ready to do their work for
them.”
“Do you think the Fifteenth Amend
ment will be ratified by the Legisla
ture ?”
“I do. In fact it is a condition pre
cedent to our ad mission into the Union.”
After a pleasant conversation with
the Governor, during which I was con
vinced that he was not the awful fellow
the Democracy represent him to be, I
went around to the office of tho West
ern and Atlantic road to see
FOSTER BLODGETT,
The newly appointed Superintend ent ol
the road, and candidato for the United
States Senate. My interview with him
was somewhat brief, being restricted to
a knock at his office door—no answer;
pull at the knob—door locked, and peep
through the key hole—nobody there.
That was all there was of it. I was
anxious to see Foster, as he is one of
the most prominent men in the State at
the present time, and what lie don’t
know about the muddle ain’t worth
knowing. His character is somewhat
under a cloud just now, however, ow
ing to the fact that he is under indict
ment for peijury in Savannah and has
been in jail at Chicago. His friends
say that this is to attributed entirely to
rebel malice. It may be, as he is a vio
lent Radical, and that class are shining
marks for venomous darts iu this part ol
the country.
The country papers, however, which
used to heap an ocean of abuse upon
him, have suddenly got soft upon the
subject, aud abuse him no more, This
is owing to the fact that they have to
approach the monster for passes over his
road. He, is now known in the country
papers as “the gentlemanly, courteous,
urbane aud ellicient superintendent of
the State road,” w hereas two weeks ago
he was freely spoken of as a d—d old
rascal. This is encouraging evidence
of returning loyalty.
INTERVIEW WITH AN AFRICAN.
A man could not well relate the story
of the two dogs who fought over a bone
without saying something about the
bon e. The negro is the boneofeouten
tion in this State, the innocent cause
of the present unpleasantness. Accord
ingly I sought out one who looked as if
he comprehended the situation, or at
least a part of it. No man can take it
all in at once. He may be while, aud
then he can’t do it.
“My friend,” said I, “were you ac
quainted with the colored members of
the Legislature who were expelled last
winter ?”
“Yes, sah ; I ltuowed some of ’em.”
“Were they pretty smart ?”
“Oh, yes, sah ; they were the pick
and flower of the the colored population
of the State.”
“But they’ll be back, won’t they?”
“Be back? Os course they will. 1
knowed all the time that Grant wouldn’t
let’em be kept out long. Golly ! how
things does work,” exclaimed the hap
py African, as he opened his delicate
mouth wide enough to take in a volume
of the Congressional Globo. “I reckon
the Democrats will learn somethin’ af
ter a while ; don’t you think so?”
I replied that it was probable that they
would, as they had been taught many
valuable lessons lately, and were still
undergoing a course of instruction.
Here the interview ended.
The I-ast Little All'alr In Yankee
Religions circles.
A New York dispatch of the 10th
inst., gives the following particulars of
the last interesting little thing in church
circles North:
The elopement of Rev. Horace Cook,
pastor of the Seventh street Methodist
church, with Miss Martha Johnson,
creates intense excitement in the church
circles of this city. Mr. Cook was for
about eight years pastor of a church iu
Mamaronek, Westchester county, and
came to this city only eight months ago,
when he immediately gained numerous
friends by his kind manners, eloquence,
and learning. Ho has been married
sixteen years to a most devoted wife,
and has a son named Baldwin fifteen
years of age, a most promising lad.
Mr. Johnson, the father of Martha, is
one of the trustees of the church, wealthy
and highly respected. Martha was only
a school girl, sixteen years of age, and
was about to graduate in tho Twelfth
street public school. She was highly
accomplished, aud beloved by her pa
rents and brothers, and esteemed by her
teachers. A more than ordinary sym
pathy had been noticed between her
and the pastor of the church to which
she had only been recently converted,
but the girl was always so innocent that
no particular suspicion was aroused.
The whole of last week Rev. Horace
Cook feigned sickness. On Thursday
he sent his family to church to attend a
lecture, and even sent the servants. He
excused himself from attending, plead
ing sickness. It was found that he sent
his trunk out of the parsonage. On
Friday he left his home empty handed,
and told his wife he would be home at
the evening service. Since that time,
however, he has not been seen.
On this same Friday morning Miss
Johnson said to a friend, Miss Devoe,
on leaving school, “Come home with
me, I am afraid.” Said Miss Devoe,
“Is not your pastor standing there?”
“Oh yes,” said Martha,and sayingthat
she joined Mr. Cook. Since then noth
ing has been seen of either party, but
the parents of the girl are convinced
that she did not willingly go with the
clergyman, for all her clothes were at
home, also all her trinkets. She went
off in her school dress and without
change of clothing.
i The charge is now openly brought
! against him that he has abducted the
1 girl against her own wish and desire.—
On Saturday Miss Martha’s father re
ceived the following letter: “1 love
Mattie. I will care for her tenderly,
kindly, and lovingly, inconsistent as it
may appear with my present conduct.
I ask for no mercy, but am ready to |
part with life for the possession of the ,
woman I adore. Cook."
Mrs. Cook received, the same after !
noon, a letter from the miscreant, in
which he says : “ I am on the last |
plank. You will never see my face
| again. I hope Baldwin will he a better j
i man than his father.”
The poor woman is so distressed that
the physicians fear that brain fever may
set in. Miss Martha’s brothers threaten
jto shoot the pastor at first sight. Said |
the father to-day : "If a midnight as
sassin had come into my house I could
have defended myself; hut the pastor
of my church —the minister of the Gns
pel—to steal my child is more than I
can stand.”
The affair created intense excitement ;
in Methodist circles, which is heightened
by reports that he has comitted sui j
cide in Canada. This, however, is not
confirmed. On the contrary it is more
than probable that both left on the Eu
ropean steamer on Saturday, as the let
ters above mentioned were posted in
this city on Saturday morning.
Getting Alarmed. —The New York
Express says : Here is a query for re
flective minds : If Congress enacts a. law,
as is proposed, to enforce the Fifteenth
Amendment in defiance of the wishes
of certain States, will the States submit,
or will there be another “ unpleasant
ness” for the benefit of parchment gen
erals and shoddy contractors ?
The Oat Crop. —Judging from the
large quantities of seed that aro being
sold, the oat crop in this section this
year will be a very large one. The de
mand has been very large. Farmers
are showing their sense in this respect.

EPPING’S BUCHU!
A PRIVATE letter from South-Western
Georgia to a friend in this city, says:
“X am astonished that so many cases of
GRAVEL and other KIDNEY DISEASES
should exist, and so much sulforlng endured,
both by men and women, from SYPHILIS, j
the WORST of all diseases, In many cases
transmitted to their children, while thoro is
such a CERTAIN anil pleasant remedy as
“EPPING’S BUCHU.” It not only cures 1
these horrible diseases but give? strength and
vigor to the secret organs. It would be a
great blessing If this Me-Uclno was more gen
erally knowD. One of my old patients told |
me yesterday that it had added twenty years ;
to his life.”
This valuable medicine Is manufactured in I

Why Is it that so many children die under
the ago of five yearsl That a largo proportion
ol children die under that age, has long been
a subjeotof remark, and without a satisfactory
cause ascertained, It Is certain.
Also, it Is known that worms exist In the hu
man system from Its earliest Infancy; there
fore parents, especially mothers, who are
moro constantly with tholr chlldrcu, cannot
bo too observing of the first symptoms of worms;
for so surely as they exist, can they he
SAFELY AND CERTAINLY
removed from the most DELICATE INFANT
by the timely use of
B. A. FAHNESTOCK’S VUBMiFUUE.

SAFETY TO CHILDREN OF ALI, AGES.

pose of pleasing the palate than of overcoming
the disease, have been manufactureil all over
