>• Georgia.
Tbe infamous bill taming Georgia
out of the Union again and reducing
her to a territorial condition, or rather
making her a satrapsy of Congress, has
passed that body and been signed by
the President. In this act the Ramp
has been guilty cf tbe meanest perfidy
and the grossest despotism. It will lie
remembered that tbe Legislature of
Georgia, elected in accordance with the
Reconstruction Acts, unseated the ne
gro members and admitted their white
contestants oq the ground that the
Constitution did not make them
eligible to office. This view was held
by some of tbe leading Radicals at tbe
time the Constitution was adopted, and
there was nothing in the Recoustroc
tioB Acts that compelled Georgia to
confer this right on them. The Legis
lature passed a tesolution, which th
Scalawag Governor vetoed, offering to
submit the question of negro eligibility
V0 office to tbe Supreme Court of the
State, hut nevertheless the question
came up, and was decided in favor of
the darkey holding office. The Legis
lature has not met since th«j, and as it
had pledged itself in advance to abide
by the decision of the court there is no
d»nbt that the rights of the negro ti«
participate in the delights of office
w»uld h ive been accorded him. But
the President and Congress ctmld not
wait to see justice done in a constitu
tional way. He recoinmeods in his
message that Congress pass a law au
thorizmg the Governor to call togeth
er the old Legislatur**, some time since
defunct, and to unseat the white mem-
bets, and put the negroes in their places
>VeII, Congress has dun? it. They
have been *'b d ent to Grants sugges
tiou, and al bis wish com mi. ted a most
gi<*ts | o iiu-al outrage on Georgia.—
The Governor is likewise aotiior-zed to
call upon the military to enforce the
hw.
In this act, as we suul at the begin
uing of thi* a. tide, Congress lias been
guilty of great perfidy toward Georg.a
<be had complied with the Ree**nsirue
turn Acts in every particular, and her
members had taken their seals in the
Lower House. There was uo condi
tion pi escribed in these acts Chat Geur
giu should allow her negroes to hM-1
office, but ouiy it.at universal suffrage
should prevail, and this was secured tu
every coffee in the Stale. Even the
President in his message acinus that
Georgia had complied with the Recoc
slmctioo acts. AlJ the laie rebel cialt s
were reorganized tinder llie same con
ditions, hut ail exception has been made
in Ihe case of Ge-^rgi.i, and new coudi
tioM are imposed that were not exacted
«»n the other ^iat-s Co..gresH has bro
ken her lailh with t h is State, and teen
guilty of perfidy. What makes the
case stronger against Congress, is that
Georgia is weak and not ab/e to resist
;his despotic law. There are two m*»-
tives fur t .i-* great outrage on Slate
rights; one is che desire of ihe Radical
revolmionaiy party in Congress to have
two of theii own kidney returned to the
Sena • At ‘he lust session of the Leg
islature, two Conservative iSettutois
were elected both gentlemen of high
resjiectability. But they have not been
admilte to their seats, and the R.idi
cuts hope, and no doubt it will be the
Case, That The negre Legislature will
vlect Governor Bullock and Foster
Blodgett, to the Senate in their stead.
The second motive is to have the Fif
teenth Amendment ratified. To ac
complish these two Radical rascalities
it is ne< c**ary to turn out enough white
members ami pul negroes in their pla
ces at the |M«int ol the bayom-t, to give
them a majority. How far an amend
in' nt to the Constitution ratified by com
pulsion m iy lie legal, may come up f »r
question some day.
Tins is hut anoUnT net in the long se
lies of 011 rages the Radicals have com
mitted ip political liberty since they
have been in power. There is «**t a
fingle guarantee in the Constitution
that they have not violated when it
stood in the way of carrying out their
ih'sigiis, and «• me of them thev have
violst d over and over again. Their
treatment of Georgia is one of the worst
case-; against them, but it is no more
than we might hav-e extracted. fl*-r
fate may be the f He of any other State

The choppers are attached to an ordina

as to tiiin out twelve foot of rows at

can be chopped at a tim?', and it is • s-

to the revolving much tie can chop out
twenty acres daily. The animal walks

When a State ts in trouble, it is HA
portent, tor a number of reasons, to as
certain the exact nature of the difficul
ty. Each citizen can then determine for
himself wbat relation he bears to tlie
cot rovers v, and in what particular chan
nel his influence nDd energies sltould be
directed. A few men may combine
from selfish or criminal motives, to set
aside for the time being, the public
weal, having a personal interest that
outweighs the tatter: but the mass of
the people, of all classes and conditions,
have’no interest in public affairs except
to secure good government Belong to
what party they may, they should not
voluntarily surrender their rights in this
regard liy co-operating in schemes for
the advancement of tbo few in power
and fortune at tlie expense of the great
body of llieir feliow citizens, und even

The approaching struggle in Georgia
aff i ds a striking illustration o! the polit-
ical contingencies referred to in the fore
going paragraph. The questions of in
terest are not whether the negro mem-
bers shall be reseated in the Legislature,
or whether the Fifteenth Amendment
shall be ratified or noL Both of these
questions have been predetermined.—
Congress anticipated tlie Legislature as
regards the first, having passed an ad
to reseat the negroes, when tbe Lcgie-
lature would have done the same thing
had Congress allowed them an oppor
tunity. There has been no disposition
in Georgia to resist or circumvent tbe
law. As regards the second measure
referred to, it may be considered a fore
gone c>inclusion. Congress having so or
ganized the Legislature of the Stale as
to secure a vote in favor of the Amend
ment without regard to the wishes of
ttiu people. They have not only appoint,
cd the men to vote on it. but they have,
in addition, enforced their behest by
prescribing a penalty in case of a refusal.
The people iff Georgia, therefore, who
comprehend the situation, feel no inter,.-st
in these questi >n«. They have no in
superable objection to the reselling ol
ttws negroes by Congress, and if the
loroinaat party are willing to accept the
sort <ff ratification they will get tor their
Amendment, they are welcome toit —
We prefer it to put in a form that will
in law bind auhod who chooses to re
sist it. For these reasons the topic re
ferred to are of no special account to
the patriotic portion of onr people
But til.re are is. ues take sprung in
the approaching Legislature in which
all the people are most deeply concern
ed. Ti ey are purely personal, uud
huve no reference whatever to party or
its interests. I he Republicans off Geor
gia, therefore, whether white or black,
can vote independently on all such ques
tions, and : a they are ciliMt, with every
interest »l stake upon a wise and honest
administration of tae government, they
will have PO motives to influence them
but the public weal.
It is impossible, at this day, to enu-
m.-raLe the various propositions for in
dividual thrill and aggrandizement that
wilt be brought before the Legislature,
but some few have beeu foreshadowed,
and may be specified with some ap
proach to accuracy.
In the matter of the United States
Senator, it is evidently to the interest of
every citizen, as well as for the credit
of the State, that we should be repre-
scnti-d by men of both ability and char
acter. It is clear that nobody but a Re
publican will be admitted J it is due,
theref-ce, that none but the best men of
the patty be elevated to those high po
sitions There is sometimes absolutely
revolting in the idea of putting men in
such position- who are destitute of ev-
eiy qualification, und simply because
ttiey wish to use the honor for tbe pur-
|Hi.«e ut speculation and gaib. Such ts
tlie case with Bullock. Blodgett, and
others iff like calibre, who seek to dis
grace the State by their own promotion.
Will tlie iieliubhuaas of Georgia ac
knowledge that their party is so utterly
destitute of character and talents that
they are obliged to select such men for
the highest dignities in their gift? If
so, it muet be poverty-stricken indeed.
Another scheme -is to embark in a sys
tem ol appropriations of the money or
ciedit <>f the State to an infinite variety
of individual speculations, Without merit
in themselves, and which can only re
suit in putting money into the coffers of
certain ‘ rings” ut the expense of the
great UiSdyof the people. We have reu
-on to believe that very many of these
plans have be n concocted and
lured—enough to utterly destroy the
credit of the State, and bring upon h
people a mountain load of taxation, that
will hang like an incubusnpon llieir en
ergies and eat up their sulistance for
generations to come. Why should any
h.-nest, discreet man in Georgia, wheth
er Democrat or Republican, white or
black, wish to bring such a calamity up
on his State ?
Another protect in contemplation,
many fears and not without reason, t-
to upset the judicial -y-ten! ol onr State,
together with local administrations, and
place the sacred rights of peieon and
property, with the business interests
and son ul weliare of great communities,
in the hands of ignorant tools of party
wbnso highest ambition is individual
power and pel . Wnut white man in
Georgia, be his politics what they may,
can contemplate with complacency such
a revolution as this? Aud if the inter
ests of white men are at slake, how
much more those of the black, with
whom everything depends on the pro
tection afforded tom by law righteously
administered ! The negro is poor und
without influence, and the day ill which
lie aids to strike down-.he majesty of law
und the power and Influence of good
men, will be a dark one indeed for h.m.
Thev are his only bulwark, anti* once
breached, his last hope for pr lection
and security will have departed

Hon. Nmaun. J irr — Wo learn through
private channels that the exertions and
tbe bearing of thia gentleman in Ida re
sistance to Bollock & Co, in Washing
ton, were truly admirable Mr. Tift’s
friends could desire nothing better for
hie fame than to have a full and cirenm-
stantial report of his conduct in the
fight he made for the honor ol hia State
laid before the people. We learn from
a frieod, who was in Washington about
the time of the passage of the last coer
cive bill, hat Mr. Tift, in his speech be
lore the comm ttee, lairly rained lancets
on our poor Governor. Tlie infliction
was too mnch for even his bovine pow
er of endurance, and that during one of
Tilt’s bravura passages on the creature,
he fairly bellowed Can it be possible,
as we have heard, that our Governor
made prefert of his high chivalry ?”
We are told that while our champion
was detailing to the committee some of
the choicest passages in the life, suffer
ings and public services of our arsenal
hero, he jumped to his feet, declaring
that be Would not stand atlacts on his
private character. Mr. Tift, thereupon
quietly waived the impetuous spirit
down, aad saying. “O, yes, you will,
went on wi li his “arrowy sleet and iron
hail” Once, and only ouce, to onr sur
prise, was Mr. Tift ealled to order by
the chairman. No doubt the “gay and
festive” hero of Fort f isher really liked
the fun that .Mr Tift was making for. the
committee, aud treat of a bull fight
whieli he was giving them free of all ex
pense. One thing is Certain, that through
Mr. Tift, the country has been put fully
upm notice or the heinous character ol
this man who is violating all official
honor and obligation, and who, in des
pite of his oath of office, is doing Geor-
gia all the harm he can, and as little
good as possible.
We honor Mr. Tift for his courage,
and feel and pray that his example may
infect a great many of the leading men
in the iState.—Atlanta Expreu.
ten* Touching the bad faith of Con
givss and Grant in the Georgia matter,
Ih« New York Express says :
“The people, with all their indiffer.
ence to flee government, have not de
manded thia wrong, and as soon as they
awake to any defeat sense of the out-
rage, will rebuke it. State-elected Cov-
ennir in regard to a State Legislature,
is one step in advance of all previous
ilesuolisin, and tbe case is all the worse
from the fact that this Governor is puli
licly accused by Ilia own party ol cor
ruption in office. Every way and every
where this man is d graded. By his
official conduct at home, by bis betrayal
of his con. .1 uen' - before Congress and
its committees, be has forfeited the re
spect of even those who may profit by
bis baseness. Then, when we remem
ber what General Grant did and prom
ised, nnd what his chief in Georgia,
General Meade, declared in his tele
gram to the l*t~,wiileiit in July, 1868,
showing that Georgia had complied
with the Reconstruction laws to ihe let
ter, and consider that the President
could have prevented this legislation—
who is there who can now sincirely re
spect the Preeideut.”
Tit for Tat—In the debate on Sena
tor Morton’s bill c« mi elling Georgia to
ratify the Fifteenth Amendment before
being admitted to representation in I'on
gress, he was. Very seti-ililf, asked by
Senator Edmonds, of Vermont, “Why
not insert a clause directing the military
commander in Georgia to declare it rat
ified, without the formality of a ballot?
Sure enough, why not? The only reply
Morton could make to tlie thrust was
that he (Edmunds) had voted for the
same measure in the Fourteenth Amend
men . This E imunJs denied, but alter-
ward- adm tied il. The print seems to
be that Ed minis has become ashamed
of his . ct on, and Morton is not. Of
course, tbe most shameless carried their
|B<iiit, and the bill passed tbe Senate.^
Cm. Enq.
Amcsim Scenic with a Gwruia Sena
tor.—Passing along the carridor of the
Senate gallery the other day, F was at
tracted by a Might verbal altercation
that seemed t« have arisen between a
stont swarthy, darkey and one of the
doorkeepers. The firmer desired to en
ter the gallery, but the latter Imd check
ed his progress with a bint that colored
men must go a little further to the left.
“ Why so?’ inquired the gentlemen
from Africa.
“Because the sergent-at arms give*
the order,” was the doorkeeper's reply.
The colored person now began to as
sume a tone of haughty indignation ; so,
straightening himself op, and palling
the wriakies out of his gorgeous vest,
with a slight jerk iff the lower end
that article, he inquired ifbt-knew whom
he was talking to—this with gunuine
Congo accent, which I cannot well
translate
*-N.», sir; I don't know, and I d n't
care I must obey orders. Colored
people are to be put altogether ui that
part of the gallery"—pointing to the
seats reserved for the purpose.
“Well sab, I'se from Georgy —a mem
ber of de Legislature of dat State ; an’
if I had my rights I'do Ire on dr flu* ol>
dis Senate.”
And then the sable individual related
his disappointed aspiration, uud told in
a Strain of naughty anger how he bad
been cheated out iff the United State-
Senatorship by the “rebels and copjier-
heads” afte ■ it had been agreed t< • elect
him. lie waa deeply moved by tin
recital of his own wrongs, but was glad
to hear that under the President's re
commendation the old Legislature, ol
which he was a nn-mbi-r, was to be
called , and he still hud hopes. I pity
that (.100r doorkeeper if he ever should
be elected. This is a strange story, and
a true one—and not half as str.i go us
hundreds that might be told had I the
gift of omnipresence to pick them up.—
