render a verdict between loyalists and so-called
“ rebels”—that the lives of loyalists are taken
without provocation, and that such acts are
well pleasing to large majorities in nearly eve
ry community, and that it is their bounden
duty to overturn the existing State govern
ments and elect military despotisms in their
stead, and that the oaUis tlicy have taken to
support the Constitution are not thereby vio
lated. 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.

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.

Constitution in conformity with the Constitu

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.

State Items.
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
