I.ast Words. —The last copy that was ever pre

lor the old Savauuah Republican is this, done by
request of the last city editor of the paper:
“Time has laid his hand
Upon my heart gently, not smiting it;
But as a harper lays liis open palm
Upon his harp, to deaden Us vibratiors.”
A New York letter says: “Ti.tons favorite tip

Ahi.h in i-.'j. i is. it. j-iopte t\ inr newspapers
U uap nil JeiiUU HI Un- bUlnry u! the Govern
ment, and l but another evidence of the unbridled
impudence : 0 viudifltYeuevo that has ruled in
llie counsel, ol the nation since the war. It is an
outrage upon the right- aid material interests of
the people at large tbit should call down the
bitterest loipreoatiou# ad the sever and mod
unrelenting denunciation up on the beads of rhoae
deluded creature* who f cognized no law rave
that which w- ristd tlo ir aggrand'z no n', aid re
garded no rights when in conflict witn the fur
therance of their advancement.
The burden that this law places upon the news
pcpur press, can, and will be borne without com
plaint ; but in so far as the rights ol the people
have been infringed upon, we apprehend the press
will throw “ bot-.-but ” so glaringly brilliaut, upon
the conduct of those who supported the urju-t
and grossly insulting measure, as will give the
people a tnorougii knowledge of the enormity of
the act. That it was u direct hoine-thrust of Con
gress at the newspapers no one doubts; but tho
trouble is, the blow falls npon the people.
To demonstrate that Congress was not inspired
by the interests of the people in the passage of
the postal law, we call attention to this fact: it
wiil cost a subscriber as much postage on his
county paper, carried only five or ten miles, as he
pays for the New York World or Tribune, carried
a thousand or fifteen hundred miles. This glaring
and disgraceful discrimination in favor of the more
influential and wealthier papers of the country is
a significant circumstance that points to bribery,
contemptible ignorance, or a blow at the country
press, at the sacrifice of the people's interest.
We think therefore that every newspaper should
demand at the hatid6 of Congress such an amend
ment to the pos'al law as will make it equitable
and equal in its operations. The subscriber for a
local newspaper should be charged less postage
than one published in an adjoining county, district
or State. We make this appeal, not in behalf of
the newspapers, but in behalf and for the benefit
of the people.

The Coming War.
The collection of a large number of troops and
vessels, and the presence of the Lieutenant-Gen
eral on the Mexican border for some time has
created the belief with many, that it was the in
tention of the Government to assume hostile re
lations against the Mexican government.
For some time past, the Mexican freebooter
chief, Cortina, and his followers, have been de
predating upon the property on the Texan side ot
the Rio Grande.
That the Mexican Government is held iu con
tempt by a large number of its mongrel inhabi
tants, cannot be disputed, and that it is unable or
disinclined to control and put down the thelviug
renegades, who continually rob the people of
Western Texas, is also tine.
President Grant, doubtless, thinks that the
Mexicans are incapable of self-government, and
that it would be a stroke of good policy for him
to crush them out, and “ gobble” up that little
territory.
Gen. Roscncranz, who has just returned from
Mexico, reports that it contains about 7,500,000
miserable people ; and that 500,000 of this num
ber are restless wandering rascals.
Gen. R. thinks that the higher and more en
lightened classes of the people would welcome
the protection of the United States; and that the
conquest of Mexico, in the event of war. could be
easily accomplished.
The Walworth Patricide.
The killing of Mansfield T. Walworth, by his
son last week, is creating quite a sensation iu New
York, at this time. It appears that the wife of
Walworth Lad obtained a divorce some years ago,
on the ground of ill-treatment ami habitual drunk
enness. Mrs. Walworth went to Saratoga and
opened a young ladies’ Seminary. Whilst there
she received many insulting and threatening let
ters trem W alwortb, charging her with the most
infamous conduct. The son came in possession
of the letters and was so enraged at the treatment
his mother was receiving, that he went immedi
ately to New York, hunted bis father down ard
killed him.
This killing of a father by a son is a melancholy
aflair, and one to be greatly regretted and con
demned.
If the reports are true, as stated, that she had
been traduced audher fair name and virtue assailed,
there is much to mitigate the action of the son.
And whilst we can conceive of but few cases that
would justify such an act, yet upon the whole the
young man is to be more pitied than censured.
National Press Association.—At the last Con
vention of the Georgia Press Association, held in
the City of Americus, Mr. Robert L. Rogers, ot
the Sandersville Herald introduced a series of
resolutions, looking to the formation of an associa
tion of the entire Press of the United States. In
a late editorial upon that subject, Mr. Rogers
says : “ We do not propose|to say much upon the
subject now, as we expect to have occasion to
refer to it olten In the future. The urgent neces
sity for such united action as this movement pro
poses, must be apparent to every liberal minded
journalist, and we hope we may secure the
hearty co-operation ol all good journalists in the
land, and let us work together for the protection
of ourselves, and for the general good of our
great commonwealth. Let us unite as a fraternity,
and let American journalism stand out in high
relief as a grand column, nobly supporting the
rights and liberties of freemen. Let American
journalism be as a firm pillar, upon which may
rest the perpetuity of the fabric, the American
republic, and free republican institutions. Let
every journalist throughout the whole country
eschew every evil and every appearance of cor
ruption, aud let every one desist from the per
sonal detraction and harsh bickerings which have
of late been the characteristic feature in the
writings of many. Let us have an independent
journalism, guided by truth and correct princi
ples. Let journalism be as a stately wall, dividing
the good from the bed, and let all that are within
be distinguished as the true and the good; in
short, we would have the standard of journalism
to be dignified, firm and pure. Who can calcu
late the good results which would follow a single
convention held id someone of our large cities,
at which every representative journal in the
country should be represented. Such a personal
convention of gentlemen representing extreme
views and extreme sections would do more to
wards the conservation of good government, and
to appease the bitter feelings of the North and
South, than all the political platforms of a cen
tury. Then let us have the National Association ;
let us ‘ shake hands across the bloody chasm,’ of
which we have heard so much, and let * reconcilia
tion’ be mare practical than speculative. Men
would go to their hemes from such a convention,
not only with larger views of usefulness, but with
more definite aims aud purposes of doing good
to their fellow-mqn. A high standard of journal
ism would be established, and journalists would
feel constrained to work up to it.”
Newspaper Change.— The “good will” and
material of the Savannah Republican has been
purchased by the proprietors of the Advertiser
and Republican.
The Republican was one among the many old
papers of the State, and we regret that circum
stances have occurred to necessitate its discon
tinuance and absorption by another. We extend
our sympathies to the conductors of the Republi
can, in being forced to abandon a paper ot such
character; aud congratulate the Advertiser, in its
good fortune to secure a paper bearing its re
putation.

The Modoc War Ended.— At htlf-paal three
o’clock on the Ist day of June, in the State of
California, near Clear Lake, two warriors, five
squaws and seven children, led by Capt. Jack,
“passed in their checks.” Thus,one of the grandest
farces that has ever been enacted under the direc
tion of the United States government has ended.
We thank God for it. We hope the transactions
of the “ Modoc War” may pass from the memory
of the American people, acd our history be saved
from iU a tains and blurs.
Financial Condition of Gbobua —We clip
the following article from the Atla Sun : :ho
Lexington (Ky.) Press sajs that *• . . j nt
financial condition ol the State ol Georgia, aud
her rapid progri6s iu material proepenty *,lc
the overthrow ot Bullock and his lUdi-al as-o
ciates, and the administration of her tlai i-passed
into the hands ot the Democratic pa.:y, is iu
striking contrast with the bankrupt and dis
organized condition of those Star*s - ol subject
to the dishonest and unscrupulous officials dele
gated to enforce the reconstruction policy if
Grant,”
And, continuirg, the same paper that “a
fair comparison between Cue prosperous condi
tion of Georgia and the preset.t financial and in
dustrial affairs ol those States that L -.ve been less
successful in their resistance to the a: t/trary en
croachments of the Federal power, reVials a
system of fraud and piandei which att irds entfi
ciect justification for the recent outbreaks iu the
Soutn.”
Georgians may look with pride at the manly
resistance they Lave made at the ba 10.-b x to
the encroachments of Federal legislation through
its policy of reconstruction usurpations. Rut Kir
their firm refusal to endorse those ions
they have finally rid the State of Radical turn
aud plunder, and succeeded in placing her finan
cial affairs in a healthy condition. It was he
great Democratic heart of the people that nerved
Georgians to peacefully, but successfully, as Idw
abidiug citizens, resist with the ballot the en
croachments of Federal power upon the r rights.
Had the people of Georgia endorsed the re
construction policy of Congress, and calmly
folded their arms in slavish submission to that
policy, or frantically, or desperately resisted it
with violence outside of “law and order,” we
should, to-day, perhaps, be in the condition oi
other Southern States, and turbulence and dis
order would now prevail as they do in those
States. What we have done we have dene
calmly, firm'y acd resolutely. We have done cur
our work through the Constitutional modes of
ridding the Slate of public evils. It has been done
peacefully and tuccessfully.
These results have been effected by adherence
to that great Democratic principle that teaches
submission to law, however evil in its tendency,
until it may be removed in the mode pointed out
by the organic laws of the land.
The Cost of TnE War. —Commissioner Wells,
in his report made some time ago, gives some fig
ures that are worth studying. Ho shows approx
imately we presume, what it cost the count]y to
put down what in the Yankee phrase was “ a great
rebellion.” It would seem from his report the na
tional debt was but a moieiv of tbecost. Ilia re
ports are the fullest and completed that has been
published. He commences with the amount of he
public debt of the United States on March 7th,
1861 which was 576,455,299. The receipts into the
treasury from all sources during the next four
years closing April 1, 1865, were $675,799,791. For
the next succeeding four years, ending June 30,
1860, they were sl,9oß,s67,62s—aggiegating $2,-
584,257,317. At that time the national debt was
less cash on hand and the sinking fund. 52,4-BJ,-
002,450. Now deduct this from the debt, at tin:
beginning of the war, and add their receipts tor
the eight years as above, and we have $4,496,914,-
498. Deduct next the ordinary expenses of the
government if there had been no war, and we have
—say $825,000,000, and there remains $4,191,914,-
493, to represent the actual cost of the war.
But this is not all. There are pensions amount
ing to $200,000,000. Then there are the expenses
incurred by individuals, towns, cities, counties
and States, for bounties and other purposes, and
we have lull SSCO,OOO,OOO more. And still this is
not all. Mr. Wells estimates the industrial less to
the country during the war at $200,000,000, mak
ing a final footing up of $6,371,914,498. This,
mind you, only represents the Northern or Union
side of the debt. The Confederate expenses are
placed at $2,700,000,000, making a grand total as
follows:
U. 8. Gov. expenses $4,171,914,498
.Pensions capitalized 200,000,000
Expenses States, etc 800,000,000
Industrial losses 1 200,000,000
Confederate expenses 2.700,000,000
$9,071,914,498
*•
The Democratic Party.— The New York
World in the course of a long article upon the
principles of the Democratic party, says : “ The
Democratic party has stood lailhiully by its old
standards on the vital, paramount question ol the
limits of governmental authority. This question
goes the deepest of any. It is the most abiding
of any. It Is the nature of power, Ike avarice,
to strive for perpetual accumulation ; and it is the
nature of remediable suffering to resist. The
conflict between power and liberty is as old as the
human race; it will endure as long as man exists
upon the earth. A party that aim3 to curtail
authority rests cn immovable foundations, and
mast in the long run have the good wishes of the
majority. From the days of Jefferson to our own,
the Democratic party has constantly been on the
side of the people and the States in withstanding
a concentration of power in the General Govern
ment. The present Republican party has out
done all that the old Federalists ever dreamed of
iu the opposite direction. Its little finger is
thicker than were the Federalist loins. It is the
lineal successor and heir-at-law of that old op
ponent of Democrscy, and the inheritance would
seem to have quietly lain at compound interest
until the Republican party came into possession.
That old battle will be fought over again in our
time; and the Democratic party stands where it
stood seventy-five years ago, when it marshalled
its torces for its first great victory. A ship whose
pathway lies in the direction ol some of the great
ocean currents may encounter head-winds, and
occasionally be driven backward by teeir violence;
but she will nevertheless make her voyage, for
the opposing winds are bat transient, while the
favoring currents are everlasting.
To tzie Point. —Said Garrett to Brown, the
latter under guard on his way to the penitentiary,
“ Hello ! Brown, what does this mean ?’’ Brown,
dropping his head, and feeling disgraced, said:
“ The truth is, I stole Smith’s horse, and he
proved it on me.” Said Garrett: “Brown, I
thought you were smarter than that. Why did
you not do as I did?” How, Garrett?” “I
bought these horses and buggy on time, made a
store account of over a thousand dollars, aud
took a homestead; bought a big bill the day I
applied for a homestead; never intended to pay a
dollar on any ol them when I made the purchase.”
Said Garrett: “Bicwu, surely you do not keep
posted, or you would learn to steal without feel
ing disgraced, by buying on time, and taking a
homestead.” Now, reader, if I tavored Garrett, I
would say. go it, Brown, you are not disgraced,
and sigu a petition to get Brown out of the peni
tentiary to-morrow. Surely, Governor Smith
would not be willing to let Garrrett ride head up
and tail over the dash-board, with his wife, and
keep poor Brown in the penitentiary for one poor
horse. It is enough to give Brown the epizootic.
