Wp deem it unnecessary l<> a 11 f• mj l l n
rejoinder t» the evasions u.ud fl .under
log of the brUtiac-t ymm;? lawyer. win.
BO worthily fills the editorial tha.r ol t r
paper published at Monlicelio, l'h.rid-.
None of the facts wo enumerated- in n
former article have been refuted; tl-'-y
hove merely been the means of giving
biith to an abortive display of words:
We will remark, however, that if our
Florida ft fends arc disposed to view tr.<
late Tomnamnnt, at this place, as a'‘se
cond edition to tho ‘Georg a Beene-,’
we will not file a demurer to such (lit
criminating judgment; for if we ore m
mistakes, onr young men wilnessod, and
only attempted to imitate the grand nl
fair on which so much labor was expen
ded, in Monticello, a short time ago.
As regards the privacy, which the b-cn
wit of our respected contemporary aims
to clotle the Tournament with, wo liave
•imply to say, that the contest of skill
was designed to ho "strictly” c nfiucd
to those wlio had enrolled iheniHclvu,
‘Knights of Quitmantiiey laid not, like
the experienced Knights offlVrson been
on the track, striking 'at heads and
rings, for months, and then lore were
not so presumptuous as dare enter the
contest with so experienced Knights, ns
they who furnished the “copy” of what our
brother sr<« proper to characterize,
"second edition to the ‘Georgia Beenes.’
Wo also feel it a duty, in behalf ol the
"Knights ol Quitman,” to disclaim all
discourtesy toward tho “ stranger
Knights,” who put in an appearance from
the. county of Jefferson. Tho “Knights
of Quitman” arc young gentlemen of re
finement and education, and although
they may not bo able to ride with that
courtly hearing, and handle a sabre with
tho wonderful*skill and graceful poise,
as do tho experienced Knights of Florida
wc do claim for them tho characteristic?
of gentlemen of courtly mien, gen
erous impulses, and lavish in the
bestowal of a warm hearted hospitality,
on those deserving of respect A thorny
or nl road, they appreciate true nobddy
of tout, and are always prompt in its
recognition. If “stranger K nights” w ere
presort at the Tournay, who could not
appreciate a courteous welcome and ti ue
Georgia hospitality—we regret it; and
are truly sorry their expectation* exceed
ed the reality.
A few words in reference to tin beau
tiful Queen, and wo aro done: Georgia
most respectfully declines tho tendered
Joan of “one of the pearls from the beau.
tiTul cluster of jewels which hare ever
distinguished” one sister State. They
are very beautiful and valuable, but onr
brother must remember, that Georgia is
in possession of innumerable clusters of
equally magnificent pearls; and two or
three years ago, there existing a dtii
ciency in Florida, Georgia temporarily
transferred to her solitary cluster, the
beautiful pearl who was recently selec -
ted in Quitman, as the "Queen < f Love
and Beauty”—she having, previously.
been reston dto the original casket. In
other words, the lady in question, whom
our contemporary appears so determined
to claim ns a native and resident of
Florida, was born, reared, educated, and
now resides on Georgia soil.
The State Treasurer.
Treasurer Angler, it appears, has e; 1
into a very bad scrape of some desn'p
tion. The Democratic press of Atlanta
has not a word to say in his defense; and
the AVw Era (Rad ) inferring to a charge
of bribery in connection with the isstn
of certain Railroad bonds, says: “We
hove refrained from making e. mrnent
upon this matter heretofore, although it
has been street talk for days, and has
created much excitement and caused
much regret among the Treasurer’s
friends; but when this man has the self
confidence and assurance to telegrr.pl.
his own iiiuoceuee in the face of facts
new known to nearly every man, wo
man and child in Atlanta, which pr ve
the contrary, we feel at liberty to invite
attention to the conclusion that the Gov
ernor's charges against the Treasurer
are sustained. 1 ' This is about as we ex
pected. Angicr has been profuse in
charges of corruption and theft against
Bullock—and labored hard to convince
the people that he (Angler) was an hon
est man, but wo have always believed
(and so * xpicased ourself months ago,)
that he was the biggest thief of the two.
Whittfuork, who has been refused
bis scat in Congress, declares that he
will run again for the Forty See nd Con
gross, and expects to be elected by a
still greater majority than he* received
at the late election. Congress ought to
consider the qualifications of Wliiitc
more’s negro constituency. If they »re
w. rtl.y to be represented, then certainly
Whittemore is the right man to be their
representative.
The Alliwator Hcr-k. —The Augusta :
Chronicle and Sentinel learns that a p'an !
ter near Midway, in South Carolina, j
shout seventy miles from Augusta, has
cultivated his entire farm this year, so
far at least as ploughing is concerned,
with an alligator. The animal is an
unusually large ore—weighs three hun
dred and fifty pounds—and is perfectly
docile and domesticated. Ec is said to 1

Tl»«- <Je«ru a Bill a it Passed-
If the G.vrg.a bill passes the Senate
in the mi me shape it did ti.o flou-o, tin
Undock faction inis already resolved on
creating fart! er p litltsal disturbance
and thwarting tho letter of tbeConstitu
The Atlanta Xbw Era takes the p.-mi
ti'in th.it the passage ot the bill in the
House, in its present form, is a triumph
lor Bullock and bis followers. Tly
Farnsworth bill originally read “But
a .thing in this net captained shall be
Construed to deprive the people ofUior
,ii of tin: right to mi election of mem-
Ici.ii/fllio General Asseri.b’y of said
state in the yar 1 810, as provided foi
hi the Constitution of said State.” Pre
vious to its passage, however, this clause
was amended, by a vote of 121 to 71,
hy striking out the woi.ls "in the year
1870.” And it is upon this action by
' llii- House, that the Hnlloekites design
ha.-iing their - position to an election
the pr sent year, “t « p:v vided f.r in the
[Join, litlltioii.”
'Flu: Columbus Enquirer, howevi r,
thinks that this bill, "in the shape in
which it pus- and tho Hun o of Represen
tatives, though u t as explicit in prohib
iting an < xtecah nos the Executive and
Legislative term i us the Bingham amend
inc ut, rccoguiz s t Le Constitution of the
State as determining the limit of tin
terms, and that really amounts to the
same thing. Bullock and his supporters
’nave contended that the Reconstructing
laws govern tlie mat ter; but the House
says that the State Constitution deter
mines it. Still there-wa» trick sy ap
parent in the cutting o(T of Farnsworth’s
amendment and the giving of Dawes
the precedence, and it will depend upon
the character of their backing whether
Gov. Bullock and his Legislative friends
will peisirtt in their scheme of extension,
notwithstanding tho repeated vole o!
both Hi uses if 0 -tigress forbidding or
condemning it. The striking out of the
year ‘‘1870” in the clause relating to the
election amounted to nothing practical,
it was simply’ a refusal by the House
to construe the terms of the Constitution
hy its bill, tho time set by the Constitu
tion is the lime for the next genera! elec,
tion—the delay in allowing the State
representation in Congress does not at
all affect it—and there can be no'dispute
as to the time prescribed by the Consti
tution.
The Macon Telegraph is less sanguine.
It says: “Knowing as we do the charac
ter of the Radical majority in the Agen
cy, and how- utterly aud desperately cor
rupt and unscrupulous Bullock is wo do
not hope for anything flora, their oon
sfruclion of this bill. They wilt push
matters almost to the point of revolution
we fear, rather than give the people a
chance to elect their successors in No
vember. They know little of and care
less for law, and like their allies, every
where despise and spit upon the Constitu
tion when standing between them and
any contrivance for filling their pockets.
It will be great cowardice, a very grave
mistake, to say the least, if ti e Senate,
even at the risk of letting tho hill go
over, and -cs not take such action upon it
as will prevent its construction by a set
of men so directly interested in the
question as to incapacitate them from
Construing it fairly.
Under these circumstances, the Tie
graph most earnestly hopes that the U.
S. Senate, rattici than remit this vital
question to their decision will keep Gen
gia under military rule. To admit Geoi
gia under such circumstances will ho in
finitely worse in every respect, and do
cided'y more dangerous to hot* pence and
pr. speritv than an indefinite eoutinn
aricc of n urttal government. If the poo
p'e ate, by any moans or by anybody
in Georgia, cheat, and out of their right to
electa new Legislature in November,
: there are the gravest reasons to appre
hend the most serious complications.—

construction acta and the 1-lth and 15th
articles of amendment to the Constitution
nl the United Mates, h iving been rati
fied in go- .1 faith by a legal Legislature
. f said Slate it is hereby declared that
the State of Georgia is entitled to repre
scutntion in the Congress of the United

ed shall be construed to deprive the pen
plo ot Georgia of the right to a.i election

Ti»e Cuban Kmitu l«»»-
A few days ago President Grant sent
a it essago to Congress in reference to i
C'nbun affairs, in which he strongly dep
rcc.ited any interference jhy our govern
m ut with the difficulties existing an
'.hat island, lie assured the Senate aud
House, in said jsjrave, iffichd paper, that
the Cuban struggle lor independent' -
ad never attained even the dimension- j
of a war; that the patriots had no gov- j
on i met it, n,. political status, no poit-v—
--nothing whatev -r etitii nog them tire-,
cognition as bclligerants. Tliis mes
sage was from a ‘ truly loyal'’ Radical j
President, uildrcsscd to a Radical Con
gress; and it, was expected, of course,
that the Radical Committee on Foreign
Affairs would submit resolutions in con
sonance with the views of its qteut mas
ter; hut it failed to meet public expecta
tion, and on the 231, ult., Charles Sum
ner, Chairman of Senate Committee on
Foreign affairs, submitted tie following
remarkable resolutions, which are di
rectly an ag. nistic t > the express' and
policy of the Fr .Idont:
Resolved, that tho people of tlm Uni
ted States cannot hear with indifference
the reports of barbarous outrages which j
teach them continually from thonci, h
boringl.lutul of Cuba; that they protest ;
against ti e repetition < f such sicrs,
whether by the Spanish Government oi
the Insurgents seeking hub p miei.ee;
that Ih y denounce with indignation the ,
shooting of captives taken with erum in ;
iheir hands as violating tho first prii.ci
pliisnl civilization, and contrary to pr.--
C' de-i.t, happily i stahlished on the North
American eoutinent. and, in the name ot
humanity, they s-demii’y iumst these
things shall c f.-- e.
2. That the pe pie of the United B tstes
are pained to hear that pr< t‘ ntimi ot
prop rly in Main is upheld in tho island
and colonics of Spain lying in American
watois. That human beings endowed
by nature with the right of 1; f ■ liberty
and pursuit of happiness, ate held a
slaves and despoiled of all rights; that
instead of terminating this pretension at
once the Spanish Government prop ;
to protract the system fur an iudi finite,
period, by an impossible system cfgrad
ualism; that such a spectacle is'justly
offensive to all who love republican in
Hlitutions, of which liberty and equality
arc cardinal principles, and especially
do the people of the United States, who
now. in the name of justice, and for the
sake of good neighborhood, ask that
slavery shall cease at once.
3. That the United States being or.ee
colonies, achieved their independence as
a nation by suoc ssful resistance to
European power claiming to govern
them, and their example was followed
afterwards by Spanish colonies on the
American continent, all of which have
achieved their independence; likewise,
that already tho same aspiration for in
dependence begins to stir in the neigh
boring colonies of Great Brittain ; that
these instances in harmony with the
spirit of the age teach that_ the day of
European colonies in tin's hemisphere has
passed; that impressed by this convic
tion the people of the United Flutes re
gret to witness the extraordinary efforts
ot the Spanish Government, try violence
and blood to maintain unnatural juris
diction in Cuba forbidden by the great
law of progress, and hostile to the best
interest of both parties.
4. That the people of the United States
declare their sympathy with their fellow
Americans in Cuba, struggling fur inde
pendence and at tire same time their
sympathy with the people of Spain, in
their | resent efforts for liberal instil u
tions in their own ancient land, and they
call on this p ople as the first stage in
reform at home, and tor the sake (f peace,
to recognize at once the right of Cubans
t > govern themselves-j that they make
this appeal, with sincere good will to
the people . f Spain, ami with assurance
that the justice they do to others will
reilown to their ow n happiness, Welfare
and renown.

Cotton' at Futeem Cents.—The agri
cultural report for the month of June,
has the following in reference to the
growing cotton and corn crops:
C.-llon growers seem determined this
year to reduce the price to title, n cents,
with every pr.Np.cl of doing it. The
average of c. tton is materially increased
in ovriy State, while that o! wheat, ami
probably of cun, (although the e-ti
ll.ales for the entire country do not conn
in until July fust) has decreased. 11
the neglect of all other interests can on-'
ly be cured by cheap cotton, the soon.r
tlie pr duction c. i.es the better.”
The Macon Telegraph says that there
is too much probability that these prog
nostications may bo verified. Stand
from tinder then, everybody. Lay your
plans to curtail plantation outlays in
every possib o manner. Save every
blade of forage you can, s i as to buy no
hay. Save every particle of fertilizing
matter so as to buy no manures. Study ,
to stop outlays.

■ most scrupulous regard to the new
I vows they have tuk• -11 to the Union ari l
j and without doing the lea-1 violence t
their feelings and sentiments as friends |
and supporters of a broad and generous j
nationality. Said Gen Hampton on ,
this poni:
Let ii then, my fiiowD and con.rob r, '
clir-g willi nrrrebrxiijg grasp an ! no !ni
ken confidence to the laitii that is in us.
Let hot the angry t final* of oppression
or the syreo voice of temptation drive
or allure ns to forsake it. Above all
not m ull'll by that unm :aning jargon
which tells you that your cause was sub {
milled to the arbilrauie.it of arms, and j
that the sword lias decided that cause a I
gainst yntii The mv .id has never, no: j
will it ever decide a principle or extab ;
isli a truth. It can as it vis often d-.u--
overthrew a just eaustfai.l make might j
take the place of right ; but Ueun never ;
reverse the immutable laws of God am!
make what is evil appear right in His
sight. A noble cause upheld heroically
by honor courage and patriotism, may
die along with its supporters. A great
truth never dies; but eternal as the God
head from which it spiings, it lives for
ever, amid a 1 the changes of dynasties,
the wreck of empires, and the death ol
nations.
It is, too, as false in fact as in !agio,
to assert that the sword can or does de
cide justly between right and wrong.—
Willi the sword the Goths a ■ I Vandals
j drenched the fiir fields of Italy with i!..
best blood of her suns. It gave nearly
half the world to Mahomet. .It allowed
the Turks to trample "lit the eiviliz itioß
of Gre cc. Its keen edge has dismcmhei
ud Folarnl. It lias left ilsn gary ble -I
ing at the feet of the oppressor. It Ira
turned over Spain and Portugal to tin
tender mercies of Saracen, and on this
continent and in our day, directed by
niiscrapiiloiispoweragain.it the thro its
! of prostrate States re. king with parrici
dal blood, ir enforces the law w I ieh it a
lone has made. Toll me not, then, that
the sword can rightfully turn the scales
of justice. It is the expoteut of tyran
ny, not in the arbitrator of truth—the
badge of the tyrant and tire executioner,
not the symbol of justice.
It is not at all inconsistent with these
views that we as c mqu-rod should ob
serve scrupulously the terms dictated
hy the sword and accepted by us. Wc
can do this aud should do it, in perfect
good faith; but we should claim and ex
ercise the Godgivxi right of freedom of
opinion. \\'<: acknowledge tat tin
cause for which these men and od is lust,
but we should be false to P at cause
| were we to ad nit that they Were, be
j can eof laiiuie uecessarily u rung. We
i believe t hoy were right and we there
i lore honor and respect their memory. If
they wore right, time will vindicate the
I action and recud their fame. It wrong,
’•lt was a grievous fault,
And grievously have they answered it.”
There says tho Montgomery ad
vertiser, many voices of wanting cam
| ing from the North to the negroes iu
tho South, and if they are not insensible
of the dictates of prn l-.-nce they will
lend the most earnest attention to the
lessons thus conveyed to thorn. Not
[only are the States! one by one, as their
several elections transpire, wheeling
into the Democratic column, but olh-.r
aigns aro significant of the fact that the
nogmes are being forced, as tho tools
and dupes of the Radical party into a
p siii oi which is rapidly inihwning ll.e
' hostility of a largo majority of the pe -
pie of the United States against their
pretensions. Heretofore they have been
regarded as innocent parties in the po
litical transactions l-y which their con
dition has been so strangely affected.
The Conservative ’masses are therefore
inclined to extend to them a generous
treatment within certaiu limits. But
by p.rs’stently identifying themselves
c.-r masse with tho Radical | arty, they
rre inviting to themselves ali the rising
p pillar execration towards a party
which rervresents only a general coti
spiruev against our Constitutional sys
