We say,.grant that the Radicals are honest in all they say and do, and w. think an argument is not needed to convince the impar tial man that thev exercise but a small amount of charity towards us in believing such tilings. But this may he true and s' .11 they may believe them. What, then, should be our course <.f j conduct? So live and act that they cannot believe them. Have we already been doing that? In a measure we have. Our Judges and jurors have, as far as human frailty would permit, held the scales of justice balanced 5>e- treen all parties differing in color ahd politics. Ho far as we know, the life of no man has been unjustly taken with the approval of the com munity. Then why do the Radicals still charge us with such crimes? Because we have in some instances been impolitic, to leave out of view the fact that they may not wish to believe the truth. The Memphis and New Orleans riots were extremely unfortunate for our people. Notwithstanding we believe impartial history will pronounce the conduct of the Southern whites entirely justifiable, still they furnished our adversaries with capital to arouse the public mind and make converts to their opin ion, and gave those in power choice pretexts for further oppressive legislation. There are other acts of a similar character which we need not enumerate. In future, our idea is, the Southern people should avoid the commission of any and every act from which our adversaries may make capital, and, notwithstanding the darkness of the present, the sun of peace, justice and good government will ere long dawn in all his beau ty. It is not in the nature of man to submit always to the rule of fanaticism. To those on whom it recks its vengeance each hour of its sway may seem an ago, still, as certain as the Jacobins of France were swept away by an outraged people, so certain will American Rad icals share a similar fate. Let us le prudent and circumspect, and ex haust every other means for obtaining our rig!iis before resorting to force, as tho authori ties of Memphis and New Orleans did. Such a course will bring its own rewards, ami the human mind is so constituted that our enemies will soon l>e convinced that what they charge against us, and pretend to believe, is false.— Wo will then emerge from our fiery trial strong in the right, witli characters unsullied and pre pared to make rapid strides toward renewed prosperity. flf?” John Surratt has arrived at Washington and been committed to prison. £*V’ The Superintendent of the Western & Atlantic Railroad has turned over to the State Treasurer $50,000, net earnings for January.

Professor Smith's Science of Love i.\ Coukt- s:iif and Marriage.—This work lias already reached its second edition, which is evidence of its popularity-, when we recollect that the first edition made its appearance last September. We have already spoken in terms commen datory of this book, and we are still of the opinion that its perusal would be both profita ble and entertaining. We congratulate the author upon the manner in which it has been received by the reading public, ’lire errors of tiro first edition arc carefully eliminated, and other improvements are introduced. ishm nts under Sherman's substitute be accor ding to law was defeated, S to 59. “ Sherman's substitute in the preamble in regard to military provisions’ and districts, is similar to Stevens’, only the President, instead of the General, np-.vunt officers, and sentences of death require Presidential approval, and the huhoia ■/.■: is not suspended. Beyond that, j al! interference of State authority with the i military authority is null and void. “Section 5. When any rebel Stale forms a Constitution in conformity with the Constitu tion of the United States, framed by a conven tion of delegates elected, by male citizens, 21 years, without regard to race, color, or previ ous condition. except persons disfranchised by parti ipation in the rebellion, that State may claim representation in the national councils; and the Senators and Representatives, on being properly elected, may take their seats, after taking the oath prescribed by law.” The House refused to concur in the action of the Senate. A dispatch of tire 18th gives some idea of its proceedings. “Sherman’s substitute was then considered. Mr. Stevens moved non-concurrence, and asked for a committee of conference. Bout well sp. he in opposition to Sherman’s substitute, and complained that the bill gave more power to the President, and functions of reconstruction to rebels ; and said ‘that we ought to remove from the reconstruction business in South Car olina the Orrs, Pickens and McGraths. The bill leaves work open to any one who may choose to engage in it. We trust rebels with the work of reconstruction of which we are afraid or incapable. Mr. Stokes opposed it be cause he saw in it universal amnesty and uni versal suffrage. He did not understand lan guage if it did not enfranchise every rebel in the South. lie preferred the.defeat of Con gressional reconstruction measure to this bill. Mr. Stevens topk the ground that the bill usurped the power of the future Congress, and afterwards ventilated his usual bitterness against the President and the Southern people. Mr. Blaine favored the bill, and contended that it gave no more rights than Congress gave the Tennessee rebels. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, sus tained the bill. Mr. Bingham made a bitter hit at Mr. Stevens, showing that there was not a single feature in the whole bill which was not at one time or another favored by the Recon struction Committee. Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, favored tire* hill as the only thing possible.— After some further argument, Mr. Blaine de manded the pievious question, which was re corded by 78 to GL A motion that the whole subject be tabled was negatived by 10 to 1 IS. Recess. The bill was then returned to the Senate, and a dispatch of the l'Jlh says: “The action of the House on Sherman’s bill was reported. Senator 'Williams moved that the Senate insist on its amendment. Senator Connoss objected, saying he thought it too im portant a matter to entrust to a committee of conference. The difference between the two Houses was a fundamental one, and a commit tee of conference could give no further light. The result iu the House arose from bad faith to post friends and measures. He was in favor of laying it on the table to take up the Louisi ana bill and apply it to all the Southern States. Messrs. Sumner and Pomeroy advocated the appointment of a Conference Committee. Mr. Howard said there should be no compromising in such an important matter. “ Mr. ’Sherman held that the House could not be reconciled without abandoning the prin ciples of the bill, 'ihe opposition came from extreme sides — one holding that the States were now entitled to representation, the other that that was too liberal. “Mr. Hendricks said he did not think the President would shrink from acting if the biil reached him. “ Mr. Pomeroy repeated his belief that the measure would not become a law this session, legally or otherwise. •• Mr. Lane opposed the appointment of a committee of conference. The difiereno notwithstanding. Mr. Johnson said that if he had his wish he would immediately receive ihe Southern representatives, but would yield to tiie majority. He wouln vote f r the bill be cause he saw in it a mode of rescuing the coun try from perils that now threaten it. guided course of public opinion? 1 he whole South was soon Hooded with \ ankee adventu rers. professing to be school masters and school mistresses, with testimonials and recommenda tions as long and comprehensive as the moral law. and, by oiir actions, we thought that the farther anything come the better it must bo.

It is reported that ex-Provisional Governor Johnson lias resigned, or is about to resign the office of Collector of the Customs for the port of Savannah, owing to thg difficulty of procur ing confirmation from ihe Senate. It is prob able that some Northern Radical wants the place. The Louisville Democrat of the 13th says :— Messrs. Guthrie & Co., agents, received to-day, from the iron mines at Trenton, Georgia, their first invoice of pig iron. The iron is said to be of excellent quality and is now being tested in this city. This a new feature in the exports of Georgia, and promises to add greatly to her other and numerous sources of wealth. The Savannah Advertiser of ihe 18th says : A terrible tragedy took place yesterday morn ing at the Dining Rooms of “Our House'” "We have heard several different reports of the oc currence, some of them slightly eonfiieting, but all seem to agree upon the following main facts: A young man from New York, by the name of Phillip Judge, had for some time been em ployed as a waiter, but having had a difficulty with the cook, a Frenchman by the name of Alfred Men'll lot, lie was discharged. Yesterday morning lie went in to get a prayer book from a friend with whom lie had left it, and while there said he would take a cup of coffee or a bite of meat. The cook told him that it was against the rules, as Capt. Kiriin had given positive orders against it. Some words ensued when Judge cursed t'he-eook, who seized a large carving-knife which he had happened to be using and run it almost through his body. The unfortunate young man exclaimed, “My God, he has killed me !” and fell to the floor. The murderer laid the knife down on the carving bench, sat down by it, and hid his face in his hands for a few minutes, during which time he was muttering in French, apparently praying. Suddenly he jumped up, took the was j knife yet red with the blood of his victim, and detrimental and fundamental, and he was un- 1 plunged it into his own breast several times ; The Latest M Asuncion Sentation.—The fol lowing is the latest sensation from the* Federal capital: '•A partial formulation of the Cabinet is the crcnmittee talked of in official circles. Ihe probable re tirement of Mr. Seward is mentioned. Mr. \dams. Minister to England, is spoken of as his successor. The withdrawal of Mr. Stanton from the Cabinet is again revived, with Geu. Grant as his successor, as Acting Secretary of Mar. In addition, it is expected that Mr. Stanton will be"offered the* mission to Russia, or probably the mission to Spain. willing to abandon the Senate’s position. •* Mr. Wade thought the- matter too grave to entrust to a committee at this stage of the session, but he proposed beginning it again. “Alluding to Fessenden, Wade said Fessen den’s course in being silcut here,‘and then going to the*House to defeat the bill, might bo honorable, but he did not approve it. “ The discussic-n proceeded at great length, and was mostly of a personal character, show ing an utter want of harmony. The Senate Anally insisted on its amendments, and refused to appoint a committee without a division." On the same day it was brought up in the House, when, a motion to lay it on the table was lost. Mr. Stokes attempted ter read telegrams he had received from Tennessee, but was cried down. The vote on the motion to concur in the Senate amendments was lost—gyes 73, noes 9$. i siting touch 1 Well, a few of these proved themselves every way worthy of the great trust reposed in them by the people. They built up schools and colleges— tlicj gave energy end impulse to tiie cause of education—they became citizens of the sunny South, and when the great struggle came well did they do lx it tie for their new homes and the land of their adop tion. But those were a few noble exceptions, and are only found here and there like oases in a desert, while nineteen out of twenty remain ed only so long as they could gufl the people out of their gold, and.then made their way Lack to the l^ml of witchcraft and fanaticism. When they arrived at their holy puritanical homes, they shook the dust from their feet and changed their raiment, and to purify them selves they turned some poor and hungry white aemmt out of the house without paying their hire, and thus appeased tlfeir pious souls for having seen so many horrors of African slave ry ! And then, to bring themselves into noto riety, they became the champions of every ine nceivable slander and falsehood against the people whose munificence an 1 patronage they had unworthily received. While they were here among us, and had the confidence of so many pupils and parents, they dealt in the same sophistry which now charac terizes the motive power of the northern mind. They strove to imbue the minds of all with whom they come in contact with the idea that all our prosperity was derived from the grad North, and that'a 11 hopes of happiness on earth or our transit to heaven must come or go thro’ the land of Yankees. Our school and text books were all revised or produced in the North, and, of course* no principles that would in any way conflict wi'h the northern idea of progress were eve? discussed or advanced. And every art and every science, so far as they coqld be used as convenient vehicles, was either hedged in or expanded to suit the higher-law proclivities of the Radical mind. In this man ner we have been led step by step, in regular gradations, to lose sight of ourselves and place our confidence in those who were working for our destruction. But we have all seen and Gelt, and now feel the evil effects of jmr former course ; and as our desolated coujtry is not likely to be cursed soon again by a new set of Yankee teachers, now is certainly the time for our teachers and people to act ir. harmony and contribute-their strength and power in laying the foundation of a common school system which shall embrace the necessities of the present time and our prospective prosperity in the future. And let every pupil, from the first time he enters a school room till he completes his course of study, be taught all. the means and appliances indispensable to the welfare of his own native land, and that we can never reach permanent prosperity until we can rely upon our own in ternal resources to supply our wants. We must cease to act as tributaries to those who have rubbed us of our birthright, and now wish to deprive us of our last heritage. And is not this a good time tojbegin the work of recon struction ? If we wish to control our own des tinies, rather than give ourselves up, soul and body, to the tender mercies of ortr oppressors, this-is not a time to hesitate—to waver be tween present interest and future good. It is now time that we, ai> a people, should follow the example of our enemies iu one thing, which is the only redeeming trait in their character, and that is a united and untiring perseverance to accomplish the ends we have in view. To accomplish the purposes we desire and so much need for our country’s good, we must use every means at our command, and let no calling or occupation be neglected whicH®ias a tendency to self-reliance and an ultimate deliverance from a moral and political thraldom. We must educate ourselves to make all our ener gies confc rm to the new order of things; and ito do our work completely, we must begin with the child and the youth, both in and out of the school room. , The teachers of every country come nearer holding the future destinies of the. people in their own hands than any other class of men : and all that prevents the wielding of their power for good, is a want of proper system and unanimitv of opinion and purpose. If you will give threii-foiirths of the teachers in the South one great purpose t-> he accomplished, whether it be moral or political, and let them lie united in the plan of operation, you may may depend upon it the object will be attained in less than twenty years. And now, if what I have said be true, should we not all enquire whether the present teachers of the South are awake to the duties and re sponsibilities that rest upon them ? and also *. .. .. - . r - __ l_i.
