FOR CONGRESS,
HON. A. H. HANSELL.
The JUrgiiliiture Adjourned Tlie
Open* House Unerttd,
It is with feelings of profound sorrow
that we write the word*, that announce
that thp nolde Romans, wlio drew their
nine dollars /xt dim, would now draw
them no more, at least, for a while; yet, j
sad romembrandft creep into our pro-:
phetic soul of the departed glories of;
“Kimball's Opera House ”
We arc not informed whether th'c prin
cipal actors have gone on a “starring”
excursion throughout tho rural counties
or not, but if they will come to Brooks, !
we promise them a warm reception— :
Who are the Basso, the Tenor, the Su- j
prano of this Opera Company, we can- i
not inform an intelligent, enlightened I
public, wlio are ulwayß ravenous for nows
of great musical celebrities.
The “Black Crook,” and the “White
Fawn” are to bo the staple Operas of
this uniivailed Opi#a Troupe; King
Ding Dong is to be played hy IDs Excel
lency Gov. Bullock, with a company com
posed of star performers. For particu
lars lice smal 1 billt
Jesting apart, is it not a most humil
iating spectacle, to see the lawgivers of
the once proud old “Empire State,” grov
el in the dust before the maliji.ant*tac
tion which now rules Congress, and
which, ever is like the horse leech, cry
ing: "Give !” "Give !’’ Let any candid
mau review the legislation of tho South
for the past three.yearn, ayd ho shall find
that all ottr efforts to conciliate the Rad
ical faction in Congress, have resulted
in every instance in a demand tnoro out
rageous, more insulting, more, humilia
ting than any pf its predecessors; and
wliile.the South lias debased her forehead
into the dust before tier proud conquer
ors, they have spurned away her pros
trate and weeping form witli insult and
contumely; uud we tell these gentlemen,
that it was well to give ’the humble pie
in broken bits, or it would never have
been swallowed. Retiring to her moun
tain glens, the South would have fought
with a courage, engendered by despaij;
and had she known of the hitler cup lif
humiliation- whioh she was doom <5 to
swallow, she would, in tho words of the
Mountain Chief, after his escape from his
enemies ami certain death, have said:
“My name’s McGieggr, and my foot is
tui my native heath
Noe can these gentlemen blind the un
derstandings of all’ti.no Georgians to
the fact, that the Fifteenth Amendment
waH defeated ouly that our beloved State
might again be put under the harrow of
Reconstruction; and, that negro suprem
acy might’be tirade triumphant in Oeor- I
|jia, as it is in South Carolina.
Reconstruction is a fixed fact in Geor- :
gia. If- tho obnoxious amendment had
been adopted it would not have made an |
iofa. of difference. Negroes must rule
the great State of Georgia; new odices
must be created; new means of bleeding
an already impoverished people must .1 e
devised; another half million of the peo
pie’s money must be squandered, hi or
der that men now in rags and too lazy
to work for clothus, may put on English
out away coats arid cover their wool with i
the "Alpine” hat.
Nor ueed these gentlemen lmg tho
flattering .delusion to their bosoms, that
otic of them who is now in the Legisla
ture of Georgia will over again be elect
ed to any office in tlie gift of the people!
The shadowy band already beckons them
at their unhallowed leasts, .Mid tho hand
writing on tlie wall appals their shrink
ing souls, .Vein*, Me nr, Ttkcl, Uphratin!
“Thou art weighed^n the balance and
found wanting.” ‘
Ry what autboiity did these gentle
men. vote away untold millions of the
people's money? Who gave them the
rig hi to give away these millions upon
millions of money earned by the toiling,
sweating white and black men of this
S'.afe ? Kentucky is said to be one of
the wealthiest States in tho South, and
never from time immemorial) did tier leg-.
tslutors daro 10 vote on any sunt, or sums,
for internal improvement, without refer- :
wng back to the people for rejection, or
for approval. Such is the rule, we be- ■
lieve, in all the Not them Stales; btit our ;
Legislature, more autocratic than the;
Caar of Russia, votes away as much
money as it pleases, and we, the Great
Tuxod, must grin and bear it. llow
much of these vast sums was expended
for engineering and lobbying through ’
these bills giving St.a*e aid to every Rail
Road in the State that asks it, must now
be lost in that profound abyss of corrup j
tion that hides all Radical bribery. Did
'•not the committee that was appointed to
investigate the charge of bribery, report
that they could find no evidence of cor
ruption is tLo Legislature? Did not
they too receive a huge sop, while act
ing an the Cerleru* of the Legislative
11-ll 1 Who could catch Jonathan Wi'd,
hut another Jonathan Wild, a scoundrel
like hiins' If.
Did not members rise in their seats,
and charge that they knew of members
icceiving,certificates of Rail Road Slock
Sto vote for the Bill giving State aid to
Rail Roads? They did; and surely a
grave charge like this would not have
been made had there not been some foun
dation on which to bane it. Talk of
whiskey rings and other combinations in
New York, we have a Rail Road ring
here in Georgia, that would make the
most skillful lobbyist blush, and would
make their Ben. Butlers ana Conovers
pale their ineffectual fires.
| Gentlemen of the Georgia Legislature,
we bid you, in tho words of Artemus
Ward, a most reluctant "adoo.” We
shall write on this theme, again and
again, as is our duty as conscientious
journalists, until we have fully ventilla-
I ted all your schemes to plunder the peo
! pie, and have dragged iuto the light of
; day, all who have dared to sacrifice up •
lon the pure, chaste altar of Liberty, ou
! ly that they might steal her sacred fires.
Tlie Congressional Election.
| A bill providing.for an election of rnem
j liers to the Forty-first Congress, passed
tho General Assembly of Geor* ia, and
an election will tuke place on the First
Monday in May.
It is urged by the Democracy of the
State generally, that the party place in
the field as candidates, only hucli gentle
men as can take, the iron -clad oath, so
j that the Radicals'in Cungress cannot re.
fuse our Representatives admission on
tho score'of ineligibility. Under certain
circumstances this would boa wise p-e
--caution, but we opine it i» unnecessary
at present.* The dominant party in Con-
notconsider whether the Repre
sentatives elect can take the obnoxious
oath but whether they are Democrats. If
Democrats, then their credentials will be
referred to a committee and admission
deferred indefinitely. The past conduct
of tlie Radical party justifies us in ma
king this supposition Therefore it giakes
no difference whether the Representa
tives elect can take the “ironclad oath.’’
The question for the Democracy of the
First Congressional District to consider
is: whether there shall he a Convention
•for tlie purpose of making a nomination,
or shall we unfitrj the campaign banner
wftli the name of that tried and true
Democrat, Christian pure
"patriot.—Hon. A. H. Hansku.—inscribed
thereon ? He was the nominee of the
party at tliftast Convention—the elec
tion has not, as yet, been held—and must
so remain-until super led by the voice
j of a second Convenfio .
What say the Democracy? Shall
(here boa Convention ? There is no
time to lose; prompt, immediate .action
;is necessary. Until the question is de
j cidod, the name of Hassell will flaunt
at our masthead, and we shall endeavor
{ to rally every honest man to his support.
We have no preferences in this mat
ter: all that is desired is success. If. a
j Convention is held, its decision will re
i ceive our most cordial approbation.
En Monton Enrage!
I A slicep is, by long established, tradi
; tion,. the meekest, mildest animal in the
: world; and, when \ve see olio of these
l woolly, silly locking creatures in a blind
j rage tearing around like onto a rampant
j lion, ft is a spectacle for gods andffiien,
calculated to impicss the .beholder as no,
j other sight- by any possibility can.
We are led into this tram of reflec
tion, hy reading'the editorial columns of
a little, radical, low, ditty sheet publish
ed at Jacksonville, .Florida, and edited
by ot>e CUeorey, whose names amid be
spelled—"Chcekey I” Now, this itrau
takes it upon ; imself, to read a lecture
to tlie people Os florida, concerning Gen.
Grant and Gen. Grant’s Cabinet, in which
j lie lakes occasion to slander the people
j among whom he lives, and of wi out we
; can say from personal experience that
he is not. in tlie remotest do. tee, their
| organ, or iu any manner, their friend*or
Associate. Indeed, he is a foul parasite
i clinging to the noble old Live Oak—Flor
: ida.
We can furthermore assure the Editor,
that, were it not for flic genfreus and
noble foTlicarnuce of the people whom he
disgraces, that to use a pin i m re for
; eilile than elegant, “his hide would not!
j hold shucks.” The noble Editor with a
! glow of virtuous satisfaction, cries aloud
J in the depths of his manly heart: “Union ;
1 men will now be safe in Florida, no more
i throat cutting here,” or words to that
effect.
This valiant sheep proposes to hide
himself behind the man who took Vicks
burg and finally took Gen. Lee. and bis
army; lie clothes himself in the cast off
accoutrements of some bibulous, vinou 3
Yankee Captain, and struts around,
tlie admiration of all the negro wenches
|in and around Jacksonville; but, alas !
the enraged sheep still manifests himself
whenever lie opens his mouth; instead of
tlie roar of tlie valiant Captain, we have
the pitiful bieati’igs ot a laniferous, sil
, ly, foolish animal! 1\ pets lines apply.
to this valiai t Bombaska Furioso so pat j
that we quote:
“Tom Ktruia a soldier, open, bold and brave,
Will sneaks a icrivener, an exceedin'; knave.”
All our readers know that the famous j
fragrant Cologne Water is manufactured
out of tlie vilest animal and vegetable
compounds; and Coleridge, in one of his
letters Rpeaks of the “ten thousand j
stinks” of Cologne. If to be morally!
rotten, to be thoroughly decayed in all
that appertains to the inner man, be tlie
requisite for sotting up a Cologne Fac
tory, then, friend “Cheekey*should go in
to the business instanler; and, if ten
thousand material stinks assailed the
sensitive nose of Coleridge at Cologne,
surely ten thousand mental stinks will
assail tho moral uose of any man who
dares to road the columns of the paper
called the "Florida Union.”
We have noticed this pitiful exponent i
of extreme Radicalism iri Florida, only
to show the motives which actuate the j
extreme Radicifls of that State. We do |
not intend to be drawn into any contro- \
versy with him; no, far from it, for our
devil” usually holds the paper before j
is with a pair of tongs while we read
its delectable columns, for we would not
touch it for the world.
Newspapers in Schools.
We observe that a movement is on
foot in Philadelphia, to introduce news
papers in tlie reading extremes instead
of the usual stererotypod readers. We
knew a lady, who ten years ago, adop
ted that plan. One day in the week
each scholar brought a paper and read
an article she selected and the more ad
vanced young ladies jn the seminary
were required to write a composition up.
on some theme furnished in. the news
papers of the day. The result was that
every pupil gained*!* knowledge of pass
ii g cyeuts.
Round-to 11-u,.—An old gent, in 'rath
er an inebriated condition, got aboard
the cars at Chattanooga recently. In a
short time the conductor made his rounds
calling for tickets; approaching the old
gentleman, lie demanded his fare. “What
is the fare?” 'was the query. .“Where
are you going ?” asked the conductor.—
"To hell I” angrily replied the old gent.
“Then give me five dollars, and get off
at Atlanta!'’ retorted the*conductor.
Sale of Florida Rail Roads —On tlie
20th inst, the Pqnsacola and Georgia
railroad and the Tallahassee railroad
were sold at public sale. The first was
knocked down at one million two hun
dred and twenty thousand dollars; the
latter named at one hundred and ninety
five, thousand dollars to P. Dibble and as

i lei to the France of 1818 and the so-call
ed United States in lßG'j. .
In 184 G a Republic was organized in
France. At the head of it thd people
were so infatuated as to place as Presi
dent Louis Nap'oleou, a man who with
no previous reputation, not identified in
sentiment with any the political ow
gauizations of the count,y. *He was
I chosen simply because he was the rep*
' iesqntntive of. a nfilitary name which
! captivated the public.
| His first moves at tlie head of the Gov
i orbmetit weje suspicious. He consulted
no one. lie held little or no 'intercourse'
with any of the leading political chiefs.
He made a Cabinet of warm and 'attach
ed personal friends who had always been
devoted to him the iarkest moments
f Ii s checkered career.
In the army, navy and treasury lie i
placed men who were not known as Re
; publicans, hut were notorfoul as Nap- le

He eiti ly discovered in the law a stum

arrested and dispersed, at the point of
the bayanet, and Louis Napoleon by the !
work not of a single night, but of years
of patient and artful plotting, placed on
bis head an Imperial Crown. His firmest
adherents were men of money—the great i
capitalists of Pavis-who wore exceeding
ly fearful that if they did nut have a
strong military Government there would
be the terrible thing of repudiation. The
