Tlie Decisions of VVnr.
When the war ended, says the Green
ville Advocate, the Southern .States were
prostrate, ruined and despoiled if all
they possessed that was valuable, save i
honor—without money or means of oh-!
tabling it. Their system of labor gone j
forever; their plantations, to i* great ex, |
tent, dilapidated ami fallen into ruins;
fences rotted or consumed by fire; the
owner in the army in many instances,
and tlie negro barely doing sufficient j
work to supply the .immediate demands i
of nature for fond for himself and the few*
helpless xvbite women anj children who ,
bad been left to bis cate. Horses and I
mule,# all killed up or broke down in the ,
army that were of any value, anil the re- j

j of cattle which once grazed upon the lux
! iniuiit grasses ol our pastures and prai
ries, hud all !een given, almost includ
ing tlio ‘ seed corn," to supp y the iioces
situs "f the army and the wants of the
starving women amt children. Where
once had stood grand and stately palaces
of the rich was hut a slid memento of
I,lighted joys and scattered hopes; for in
their stead now rose naught but charred
: and blackened monuments of vandal
magnanimity. Our churches had been
i (h-spnilfd and cities leveled with tlie
I ground; lair daughters outraged, and llie
! aged a ltd the gray haired insulted and
j utilised. All this we horn patiently and
j piciuiscil to forget. We swore allegiance
; to the Government of the United States
i with tli r honest purpose of burying all
i sectional animosities and becoming (rue
; and faithful citizens under the ling ol tin
Union. We had fought for a principle
which the decree of battle# Imd decided
against. Honestly believing that a
State hud the right to sever its existence
pell ecu lily from the general Government,
mid feeling that their rights wore inse
cure, the people of the Soulbci'ii States
[ thought the time hud arrived for enforc
i ing the doctrine which they believed,
J and passed ordinances of secession. This
! right cither existed, or did not exist. 1!
| it did exist, the war was waged on the
| part ot the United States Government
without justifiable cause—if it did not
| exist, the war was right. At any rate,
j the war was to he tin* arbitor, to decide
i this question which hud so long disturbed
the political eq'iinimitv of the country.
\ Thu Southern people expected—a major
ity of the Northern people expected that
the decision of this question hy the Iri
liintal to which it hud been stilunitled
would he final and conclusive. If victo
ry had perched upon the Southern ban
ner, it would have, beyond question, es
tahlished the right by force of aims, for
which they had contended But when
it lighted among the fold of tlio national
ensign, no one dreamed hut that the
question would be forever settled against
tlie principle for which the South was
battling It. was purely a queslioh of
right, and being a political rme, no other
tribunal could take cognizance, except
the people, either in*anr,s or at the bal
lot box. The latter was found itnprac-j
livable, and the former was resorted to
as the highest tribunal and the only one
whose deeisi, n would he respected
Then the question is presented to our
minds, since the war has rendered her ,
decree, and victory settles upon the j
Northern standard, what is the decision?
Hoes il establish tin* right for which the
! South contended? Unquestionably it
does not. Then does it decide the ques
tion in tin* negative and decree that the
"Union and Gonstitution are one, and
; are insoperable”—that "tlie States are
! indissoluble?” Hit decides anything it
certainly does. Was the war decisive?
We will h*t others answer, after viewing
the condition of tlie country. If it was
decisive, what is the condition of the
Southern States at this time. Undoubt
edly they are mem hers of the Union un
der the Constitution. What are tlie
I rights of State under the Federal Consti
tution. One of those l ights is represen
tation in the legislative department of
| the Government; another is the privilege
of regulating its own fianehise law
| without dictation from any power, and
I another is that of framing its own Con
! stitution with no other restriction than j
: that it shall he republican in form.
| In tlie tight of all those facts how can
' any sane oi honest judge come to any

One Radical Departed.
Capt. C. C. Richardson, a citizen of
Maine, luit recently occupying a cage in
tlie Atlanta Managerio, has gone for
ward to render an account of his earthly
career. His life was a checkered one,
and his end tragical: meeting his death
at the hands of a brother radical. The
deceased- was well known in this section
of country, and injustice to his memory,
we must say he was loathed, despised and
condemned by all who came in contact
with him, on account of his uncouth
manners, his nets of petty tyranny mid
meanness, and tor h s extreme affection
for and constant association with the
“blessed” negro. Rut he is gone, and
we will say "no Imrm of the dead.” The
Augusts Chmnivle <f- Sentinel, cowmen- i
ting on the deceased, says ;
"Had he died amid the shock of battle |
jon tlie field of carnage, the world would I
| have been oblivions of the fact that such
| a man as ('. (’• Richardson had ever liv
ed. But ns a Radical pofitieian, a mem |
her of the menagerie in session at Allan i
ta, a most particular friend (?) of the |
negro, lie had become somewhat notori j
ohs. Not that lie possessed ability—for!
his attainments were of tlie most mediocre j
kind— Imt he had Yankee perseverenee. j
and determined to make his mark. In i
tlie hey-day of his glory, however, and
while on tlie high load to questionable
fame, lie is cut down as a tl wer and
nasseth into the untied realms of eter
nity.
There is a consideration attacked to
his demise which should not lie over
looked. As odious generally as him sod
his clan are to the Conservative while
people of Georgia, none of lie m laid the
weight of their linger on him. Had lie
met his death at the I anils of n Conserv
ative, a great lino and cry would have
been raised all over the North, and the
genius of Congress severely exorcised to
devise the most stringent measures f. r
our punishment; hut as the deed was
committed by a brother Radical, we sup
pose it will pass as a thing "uunatnral”
and regretted as a lamentable state of
affairs in their inharmonious and hetero
geneous household.
Homicide is Rome, —The Atlanta Intel
liiienctT contains un account of a ditfienl
ty which occurred in Rome a tew days
ago, between a man named Brown, from
Folk county, and one named Hargrove,
a citizen of the town. The difficulty had
! its origin during tlie war. Hargrove
was a Confederate officer, and in pursu
ance with ordeis, seized a distillery in
which Brown was interested. On the

i.i company with a friend, for the express
purpose, as lie stated, of killing liar

tired and killed Brown.

Noble Sentiments.
A few days ago in th - Atlanta Con
\cation, a discussion arose no the bran
chiae clause in the constitution in the
course <»f p.epnration, when Mr. W addel
used tlie following language ;
Today, poor as I am, I would not ex
change the memory of the part I bore,
humble as that part was, in the noble
struggle of Georgia to lie free, fer the
crown the Bo* rbon hist. I would lint ex
change the memory of rnv poor part at
Manassas, Gettysburg, and Chickamau
ga and i dozen other proud hut melan
choly fields for the hope I H j
1 erred, it was on the side of my State j
and my section—an error, if one it be,
that stands recorded in Heavens Chance
ry upon mercy'# page. I erred, too in
company ivitfi the heat the brightest and
the bravest of my State. I erred with
men whose names are garnered up in her
heart, whose valor shed unfailing lustre
upon her arms, whose fame is among tlie
jewels of her crown, and over whose he
ro (lust her most precious tears have
been shed.
At this point the speaker was inter
rupted by Mr. Baldwin, who made inqui
ry w hethcr he still held to secession. The
reply was :
Secession was settled by the war. I
accepted tlio result. When I surrender
ed my swor I surrendered that doctrine.
I surrendered to General Grant, who is
a man of honor, a. and has kept Ids pledge
I have kept and mean to keep mine.
Would that I could say as much fur

was pledged, and that is unstained.
But I will not sit silently by and licsr

A Remarkable Mule.
The Madison (Fla.,) Meiuenyer gives
the following history of a very icniarka
blemnle, by the name of “Old Polly,”
which was recently killed on account of
having a leg broken :
The recent death hy accident of the
mule, well known throughout a large
section of country hy the name which
heads this article, and justly celebrated
for her sagacity, deserves some notice.
Old Folly was the property of Mr. Wm.
Hankins who resides on Cook’s Hammock
in Lafayette County and who is one of
the greatest hunters if not the greatest,
America lias ever produced. Fur fifteen
years, during which time Mr. Hankins
iids kill) and many panthers, just one him
died bear, over fifteen hundred deer, and
innumerable'quantities of smaller game,
such as otters, tulkovs, wild cats Ac.
Old Folly has been his constant com
panion in the woods She was never
used for any other purpose th in hunting
and had long since become so sagacious
in tlie pursuit of game that her loss is a
grievous oho to her owner.
A few of her good qualities ns a hunt
ing animal may bo stated as billows,
which we know to he true If Mr. Han
kins dismounted and left her anywhere
ill the woods, she would stand unhitched
for a whole day without moving an inch
and if moving through the woods, a deer
or other animal should jump up within
gun shot she would stop on the instant
of her own accord, to afford her master
un opportunity to shoot. If she scen
ted a bear, for which she had a most
sensitive nose she stopped at once prick
ed forward her ears and strained her
eye# in all directions. In tli is way Mr.
Hankins has killed many bear; for when
ever she gave such evidence of the prox
imity of one of those animals, he seldom
failed to discovei it within a few hun
dred yards When Mr. II went on a
camp hunt some miles from home, lie hail
only to allow Old Folly where the camp
was located, then mount and go out ill
searoh of game When a# much was
secured as she could carry, (frequently j
four or five deer, j he would place them
on her back, and turn her head towards |
the camp where she would go without
stopping an instant to browse by the
wayside while lie would continue hi#
limit in another dir ction on foot. This
stie never failed to do even when the
direction was opposite to that of home
and the latter much nearer than the
camp.
A few days ago Mr. Hankins was r
ding this valuable mule through the
woods when she bogged down and in her
effort# to get out broke a leg. Ilf was j
then forced to shoot her which he #ays
was about (lie most painful act he was
over cal't'd upon to perform. She was i
22 years old.
No Submission.— -A Washington cor-1
respondent says that a very important
meeting of tlio “Western Anti-Radical
Club” was held in that city on Saturday.
Senator Doolittle presided, and on taking
the chair remarked :
"The enemies of ihe Government are
in possession of the great military and
legislative branches of the Government,
and are using them in the most unscru
pulous manner to assist them in securing
another lease of the despotic powers they
have assumed through the negro votes
of th Southern States He thought it
would lie a sad day for the country when
this was accomplished. He did not thinl
the people ot'the great Middle and Western
Stale* teouM fieaeeabiy submit to the dicta
tion of a President secured by the votes of
; the negroes, but thought it would result in
a terrible war.”

Life in the Far West. —Tie following
from the Naitimlle Banner of the 2nd
inst., shows how cities are built and tiic
inhabitants live, in the far West, along
the line of tlic Pacific Railroad :
The writer dates his letter from Chey
enne, Jan. 10, and states that he arrived
there only a few and >ys before. His f ,re
from Omaha, a lidc of twenty-six boors,
was only ssl 40. Cheyenne, he states,
is only four months old, and already, inis
a population of s,ooo—Mexicans, Indians
Irish, Hermans and Americans, with a
sprinkling of Gamblers, pimps, bush
whackers, miners, etc. There is not a
stone, or brick, or two-story house in the
town. Rough boards, logs mud. r
tents are used, in fact, any material that
will serve as a protection from the weatli
L-r Three daily papers have already
been started. Day board is sl4 per
week, and lodging (?) on the floor is fur
nished at $1 per night. Elk, deer, and
ImlTalo meat, with antelope or hear steak
for a change, arc among the daily ra
tions.
The Union and Pacific track lias pro
gressed only two miles beyond Chey
enne. Mr. Ford expects to remain at
that place until April, when be proposes
to push still further westward, towards
Sweetwater mines, or perhaps to Salt
Lake City.
General Meade as a Humorist.
General Meade has been saying and
doing some very funny things lately.
He dispatches to Giant that unless C in
gress recinds tho test oath and permit*
him to select men competent atui faith
ful for the civil offices, he cannot execute
the Reconstruction law in this District.
That •* to say without the honesty and
intelligence of (Jie ex rebels to aid him
his Reconstructed State governments
will be a farce and | swindle, lit can’t
find sufficient intelligence and decency
in the mongrel Radical ranks with which
to run his machine yet at the same time
ho writes to Senator Wilson that he is a
Radical and desires the success of the
measures of Congress.
His first act in taking command of this
District was to put in force one of the
ordinances of the Menagerie impairing j
the obligation of contracts. He permits
no white man to collect bis debt* by law
but permits the negr.s's to collect their
debts and expels tho Georgia Governor
and Treasurer from office for not paying
a swindling Convention money which did
not belong to it Members of bogus Con
ventions, elected by flagrant frauds must
lie paid but be will not permit payments
to be made to the while race without
whose intelligence ami honesty he can
not rnu Lis machine.
Gen. Meade displays his humor still
further by issuing an orde that writs of
habeas corpus issued by civil authorities
shall I*3 respected, ''so far as to produce
the body but the custody is not to lie
surrendered ” The LoaiariPs Journal, ;
with its fine appreciation of fun says
that this order most graciously permits
the civil authentic* to see the features, 1
the coat, the breeches, and the boots,
but the military must bold on to the ,
custody of the corporal frame. Whether
the civil authorities are to he required
to pay for the exhibition is not stated,
but it is hardly to tie supposed that the
military are not rxpccttd to get up the
prescribed show lot nothing.— Mont.

Imi’EAchment.—The Radicals ate again
urging tho impeachment of President
Johnson. Tin; charge now harped on is
the President’s violation of law in for-!
bidding Grant to obey Stanton. Grant j
has been summoned before the Impeach
ment Committee, and the N. Y. Erprr.n
says : “The feeling among the majority
of the committee is undoubtedly in favor ;
of impeachment and there is reason li
believe that a resolution to that effect
will shortly he reported to th. House.'’
The bill enforcirg negro suffrage at
the North will shortly be pressed for tin
consideration of Congress, and will tin
doubtcdly receive the sanction of both j
Houses. It provides : "That on all qttos
tions affecting the whole of the United i
States, whose influence may roach to all
national questions, such as the election
of President and members of Congress,
every male citixen of tho United States
above the age of twenty-one years, who
shall have resided ten days within the ;
district where he offers his vote, shall lie i
entitled to vote for all such national offi
cere and on all such national questions"
This bill it will lie observed puts the tie
