she (Quitman fanner. OAHETTW. STYLES Editor. QUITMAiJ, 080. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, IHOO. The Largest Country Circulation in tho first Congressional District. N'oMhmllraHUiiiiii in the Boath ■ Within tiie last few weeks we have •en ft number of Northern men, ami have heard of a great many more, seek ing investments and homes in Southern and Southwestern Gtorgia. Those wc bare met, unlike the adventurers that eame out a year ago, seem to be gentle men of the better sort, and bring with them means to secure good lands. Large purchases have recently been made In this county, by gentlemen from Maine, and other States North, and wo believe they are not only well pleased them selves, with things generally, but have favorably impressed our people, and are received with as much kindness and consideration as strangers from any quarter ought to expect. It is this class of men wc most desire to see from the North. They understand our condition, appreciate our feelings and sympathise with our embarrass ments. We can welcome all who come to help and not to rob, and who, by legi timate enterprise, seek to advance their own interests without trampling upon the rights and feelings of our people. Such men are respected by the rebels, und have no trouble with the freedmen. Paying the full val e fur the property they get, recognising the people of tho South as human beings, and treating all classes with courtesy and respect, they have no occasion to complain of hostile demonstrations* or vulgar exhibitions of that universal and hatred felt toward* the Intw«y?djWfs cusses, who come u»gh>*t over bur ji^tsfortunes and insult wu^liMjdmusnoss. *<*l > R«ars The the Georgia Legis lature, to send Commissioners to Wash ington, to ascertain upon what terms the State could be admitted into the I tiion t \vas, we are informed, probably a scintil lation from the fertile brain of the J lon. James L. Seward. If bo, we are not at all sui prised, for it is well known that Mr. Seward eujoys the luxury of an easy conscience and a prideless soul, so far as politics and uffairs of State are concern ed. We cure very little about any Southern man's views now a days, on ita tional politics, ami wou'd certainly avoid controversy where no good can ho ac complished; but ho who attempts to rub in the slimo ami filth, with which wo have been besmeared, cannot expect to get off without hearing the low mutter ing* of impatience and restiveness. Tis true, if the views held by Mr. Seward and those who coincided with him, had prevailed in 1861, the revolu tion would have been postponed a few years; but other counsels picvailed, and the war was the result How much Mr. Seward’s views and conduct, during the war, had to do with our defeat, is a sub ject for tho historian to deal with. Be cause gentlemen were not, heart and soul, with the South in her terrible struggle for justice and liberty, it is no reason, now that she is down —powerless and oppressed—why they should blacken her glorious record, or tarnish her unsullied honor by still crawling in the dust at the footstool of the conqueror, in the character oflmggars for political crumbs. Wc have already made every overture consistent with the dignity and honor "1 a bravo and suffering people: if we are to ho further disgraced, let our own course be such as to convince posterity 111 it we were not unworthy of the glorious boon for which we fought. It is gratifying to know that the pro position received but little favor from the people's Representatives, and that it was promptly laid upon the table in both Houses. The Stay Law passed over the Gov ernor's Veto- On Thursday, before adjournment, b> lb Houses of the Legislature passed the Slay Law over the veto of Governor Jenkins. We understand that bis Excel lency will not again be a candidate for the people’s preferment, and therefore no opportunity will be presented toconvince tho Federel Union that its boastful deni onatratious on that subject were prema ture and ill-advised. The people of Georgia will run and electa Relief Can didate for Governor, at the next election, that is, provided th • “next election” in 'eludes the election of a Chief Magistrate by the people. We have heard the name Os ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown men tioned in connection with the next candi d»cy for that office, and we only have to say that if there be persons who don’t want to see him elected, it is high ; time tltey were beginning to pull the I wires for opposition, or for the success of the Radical scheme for territorializing the South. The Nuprcnie has not decided the test oath unconstitutional. Rifts iu the Cloud RADICALISM WEAKENING IN THE KNEE*, j There are some dim signs from Wasb | ington, that indicate a sort of halting in j the rampant rago of Radical diubo- Ism. The abandonment of ilic ‘'impeacli | ment” furor was the first intimation to the spectators, that the amnia's in the | grand menagory had paused in their i wild frenzy and clamor for blood, to look | for the fragments of the Constitu i lion. Scarce had the outsiders ceased to j wonder at this strange freak of the I beasts, when it is announced that “Con fiscation” will be profitless, as Mr. John -Boii lias pardoned nineteen twentieths of j the Rebels and restored their property, j Again, the measure to repeal the Act: to suppress insurrection, which, accoid 1 ing to Radical construction, would with- [ draw from the President the power of j granting amnesty, lias a sort of rickety gait, and will probably find oblivion un-j ,ler the shadow of some living clause of tho Constitution. In the Senate on the ITth, the bill br - ing under consideration, Mr. Trumbull sairl "the reality of this section only pro poses to take from the President the pow er to issue a general proclamation <)f am nesty under this clause; that four hun dred to six hundred thousand acres of land had already been restored to rebels, and many of them, instead of appreciat ing this (clemency, were more disloyal than ever. It was not supposed that any necessity would arise in the future for a general amnesty, and it was there fore proper to preclude the President from issuing it.” Mr. Johnson said “the Constitution gave the President the most undoubted power over the whole matter, and as tho whole clause in question did not add one iota to bis power, neither could its repeal take anything from him. General Washington had issued a gene ral amnesty for the participants in the whiskey insurrectio', and no question had ever been raised of his power to do it.” At this point the bill for the admission of Nebraska was taken up, considered and postponed to take up the bill to re peal the 18th section of tho Confiscation Ajt which had occupied the attention of the Senate during the morning hour. Mr. Wade here gave notice that he would to-morrow, move to rescind the resolution providing for the holiday re cess, etc. After a little nonsense upon this subject, some discussion ensued on Mr, Trumbull's motion to take up the 18th section of the Confiscation Act, ami the Senate voted in favor of so doing. Mr. Saulsbury offered an amendment to repeal the. entire bill. The death of Mr. Wright, of New Jer sey, was then announced, and several resolutions of respect were adopted, when the Senate adjourned. The whole proceedings of Congress, up to this time, are without a single straight forward constitutional move ment for the good of tho country Every step that has been taken lias resulted in the disclosure of the grossest inconsis tencies, and found entanglement in the shreds of the Constitution. Having exhausted their Constitutional; powers, the Radicals are vainly endeav oring to steer the ship without a compass or a pilot, on the broad ocean of national debauchery and lawless legislation; bill the old craft dings to her moorings, ami J (hough she now and then slips her cable, her great sheet anchor is lmried under ninety years of Republican (lovernmciit and Constitutional liberty, which must be quarried away before she will float out on tlm sea of anarchy It. would seem that the blood and plun der clamor is losing some of its boister oiisness, and that wo are only to be banged oi* robbed according to law, as-; ter we shall have been reconstructed and | organized into Territorial Governments- — , which is simply transferring the bloody j business from the Halls of Congress, to ! logoi Legislatures of the Territories. Ju-j ban’s bill to organize Territorial Gov ernments for the States lately' iu rebel lion, to provide for the appointment of I all civil officers thereof, and to regulate, the elective franchise in the same, em braces the main features of the scheme for our enslavement, and will no doubt, ■ now that the South lias rejected the Con-, stitutional Amendment, concentrate tho j entire Radical element, and be forced upou the country over the earcas of the Constitution and the l’resdent's veto. | Mr. Davis. Arrmcvne Information — Ills 11 fai th— Comfortably Siiiateh -Visitors— Heart , Offrrinos His Quarts us Disixi; ! Room (Servant- —Mrs. I)avis-Her Iloncs ; or ax Acquittal or Release in May! N EXT. From an esteemed friend, who is on terms of tiie closest intimacy and friend ship with Mr. Davis, and his family, and who recently visited Fortress Monroe, we are in receipt of truthful intelligence as to the health, and general condition of "the martyred hero of our fallen cause.’ j Speaking of his health, our correspon dent says: “He looks exceedingly thin— almost to emaciation; but he needs only liberty hi make him ‘himself again'.’' Mrs. llavis and her you igeot child tiie babv —were in the "prisou home” at * the time of this visit, where, indeed, sliu now spends most of her time, and the writer informs us that “ hey occupy four rooms: sitting, or reception room, dining loom, (which was formerly his prison proper) and two chambers ” These apartments arc neatly and comf i t ably arranged, and the illustrious inmates are no longer under the vulgar surveillance of the sentinel. They are permitted to have servants of their own, and for the dining room they have one “who was formerly General Beau regard’s, and a most com petent colored gentleman lie is.” "Visitors arrive daily to pay homage, and pres, nts of all varieties attest that j lie is not forgotten, but lives in the I hearts of his people.” j Mis, Davis is in perfect health, and at present on a visit to her family in Mon : Heal. She looks confidently to an acquit tal, or release of her husband in May j next. j We sincerely thank onr friend for the fulfillment of the promise, uud profound ly appreciate the (.airiest invocation for the future. May a grateful people never forget those who have suffered in their cause. Territorial Governments for the Southern States The Radicals have now so far devel oped their programme, as to “leave no loop to hang a doubt upon” as to their | ultimate disposition of the Southern States. There are three points vve may rely upou as absolutely certain: First: Wo are to be held, organized, and governed as Territories, Second: Negroes are to bo enfranchis ed and Rebels disfranchised and disqual ified from holding office. Third: Colored troops are to be quar tered all over the South, to preserve or der and enforce the laws; and a tax will ho levied upon the disfranchised white race, to pay expenses. Os course all the other evils, such as confiscation, hanging, burning, rapine and murder will follow in the lurid train of this hell-born programme. If any of our readers are skeptical about the mat ter, they need not feel offended at us for the prophecy—they will be convinced by I |he/ai< accompli before we could address an argument to their intelligence. The Telegraph announces the following proceedings in the House on tho 14th. Mr. Shelabergor presented a memorial of loyal people of Louisiana, asking Con gress to establish, under the care of the United States Government, a Govern ment for that State. Tho memorial is signed by Governor Wells and several thousand electors of Louisiana. Referr ed to select Committee on New Orleans riots. Mr, Julian introduced a bill providing for civil governments for tbo districts lately in revolt against the &qjj,ed States. The bill provides temporary ‘I orritorial Governments in all tin* late rebel States except Tennessee; suffrage being given to all males without respect to color, and all who have borne arms against the Uni ted N't ales or held civil or military offices under the Confederacy, to bo inelligible either to hold office or to vote. Referred to the Committee on Reconstruction. Negro Suffrage the Sine «|ua noil. It is folly for the people of the South, longer to indulge a hope to avert the ; dire evil of negro suffrage. The vote j that carried the bill through both Houses l of Congress conferring unrestricted sul- I frage on the fro- dmen of tho District of Columbia, is quite sufficient to override the President’s veto, and it is sure to be exercised before the adjournm ut of Con gress on the 4th of March next. The following dispetch shows tho ten dency of things, and the inevitable re sult Washington, Dec. 14.—Senate —An extended debate took place on the bill j for the admission of Nebraska. iStunnei strenuously opposing it on t 1 e ground that the State Constitution adopted by j the people of that territory did not con fer negro suffrage During the course of 11lie debate the status of the Southern ! States was also discussed, when Sumner I declared most positively that they never, should here-admitted without negro stiff j frage, even it they adopted the constitu tional amendment. To this both the ! Ohio senators, Messrs. W ado and Sher man, positively replied that the adoption of that amendment was the only coudi j lion to bo imposed on those States, and \ that upon their ratifying them their sen ators and representatives s on hi bo im mediately admitted. Wade said they j had offered this bargain to the South, and lie for one would stick bv it. Mr. Slter ! man said the people of the North had so I understood and would so abide. Both these senators, however, declared that if the South refused to accept it, it must be held by the strong hand of the military force. The County Court Bill On our first page will be found the County Court Bill, which having received the Governor’s signature, is now the law. The Hon estead Bill was vetoed by the Governor, and its iricnds failed to get votes enough to pass it over his head. The conscientious scruples about dead constitutions, of two such men as Gov. Jenkins, would, in all probability restore our people to virtuous repose, and primi tive pauperism. Ackncwi f.duf.mext.— We are under ob ligations to our friend W bite, of the southern Express Company, for late New York papers. He will please ac cept our thanks, and best wishes for his continue 1 good luck through the journey ut nte. Direct Importation Savannah Dooming up. The Advertisement of A. A. Solomons k Cos., is one of the gratifying evidences of tho cnnmercial progress of Savannah, and while it discloses the fact that direct importation is not only practicable, but actually demonstrated, it reflects great credit up m the enterprising house, who 1 thus give such positive assurance of suc cessful experiment. The firm have pecu liar advantages—one member residing iri j Ktnope, and another in New York, while j their means arc ample for a mammoth j business. We are assured they are able to duplicate New York orders in quanti ty and quality of drugs, paints, oils, i dyesAffs, soaps, perfumery, etc., and that they are determined to build up a wholesale establishment, equal to the utmost demands of tho southern trade. The Savanhah Republican remarks : The first floor of their establishment is devoted to the retail drug, and legitimate fancy trade connected with that business. Hero the display of tasteful articles is really inviting. Imported- colognes, soaps and perfumery, combs, brushes and toilet articles they can sell, and sell cheaper than the same articles can be bought in New York. In fact they can sell a real buffalo comb at less money than an imitation article can be bought in that city. Upon the second floor is their whole sale package goods, to which they invite the inspection of the trade. In the cellar may lie found the heavy articles, such as paints, oils, turpentine, Ac. It is the intention of these gentlemen to make a trade for Savannah, in the matter of drugs and medicines, both wholesale and retail. Their means are ample, their patronage extensive, and their experience in the business commend them to the confidence of the people of Georgia, and the contiguous states.— j Therefore, we say, before you go North; for your supplies, stop at tho estal lisli-l ment of A. A. Solomon’s & Cos.” Adjourned.-Tlic Legislature adjourned | on the 14th. All hills lor tlnf relief of tho people, except the one extending the | stay law, and all railroad appropriation j bills, except the Macon k Brunswick bill were defeated either by opposing major ities or executive veto. AVc learn that the appropriations, ex clusive of the aid to the Railroad amount to about $1,000,000. At tho close of the session, both the President of the Senate and the speaker of the House made touching eloquent and Interesting speeches, and were applauded to the echo, but wc h.av’nt room.for them in tiie Bonne". The following extract, however, from Judge Gibson’s remarks, is as significant as it is eloquent, and we must make room for it. If the blood that lias been shed, the la mon tot ions of the stricken and of widows and orphans, parents and chit j liren, that fill the very atmosphere itself, the groat demoralization of society, do not suffice, and greater grief and sorr- w | yet await us, let him whose venality, cor ! ruption, ambition and pride kindle this j flame beware, iest this great fire, when again lighted may not, too consume him j who kindleth the flame, for it is written : j “They that take the sword shall perish by the sword;” and nothing is better set tled than that human forbearance and; endurance have a limit. The worm, it self may rise, and strike when trodden under foot. There are not wanting either j instances of those who have been bath- I ed in the rivers of woe and afflictions, coming forth purified and invigorated j with greater vitality. The flame of martyr j dorn kindled a fire which shed a ! rilliant j ligln amidst the general gluon) not easily j extinguished. The flames, too, may des- j troy the most beautiful and magnificent! edifice yet beneath its smouldering ashes | bright sparks will lie concealed. The j inqusition, prisons, and stakes have in j vain been employed to crush Truth—it is j impossible. That there are minds capa \ ble of comprehending and fully under standing the great truths of self govern ment, 1 do not doubt, and that there are ! bravo hearts will dare assert them 1 will not question; and if so will it not find an echo in all our breasts ? Our fathers, en j (lured » seven years war to establish the principles of self government —will «*;! not dare maintain them ? Let us then ; bide our time in calmness and great pa- : tiencc, remaining ever tine to the princi-j pies of self government. Let us, too, be sober, frugal ami industrious : strictly just and upright, maintaining at all times the supremacy of the laws and order, ask j ing Divine guidance and direction in all; things, and a reward yet awaits us as a | nation and a people beyond the itnagiua- i turn of the most sanguine to picture.

Dr. McGee, a prominent and useful ci tizen of Houston county, died at bis resi dence a few days ago, after a brief ill ness. Hon. J. B.

The Legislature of Alabama have re jected the Constitutional Amendment, by nearly a unanimous vote, two iu me senate and eight in the House voting for it. Fenton’s majority in the late Guberna torial election in New York, over Hoff man, was 13,719. Total number of votes polled 718,841. Chief Justice Robertson, of New York, hat decided that Southerners, whose livi s were insured in Northern companies be fore the war, have not the right to renew their policies on the payment of back premium. The Investigation Committee, recent ly in session in Washington, discovered that $800,000,000 worth of cotton has been seized by Government Agents iu the South, and that not more than one tenth the amount has been realized by the Treasury. General Sedgwick lias been removed from the command on the Rio Grande, on account of bis interferauee in the Mat atnoras affair.

Gen. Sheridan has telegraphed to Gen. Grant that the act of Sedgwick had given rise to no complications. Escobedo bad asked Sheridan not to bold Sedgwick re sponsible for it, the Canales faction hav ing been merged.
