Going Oms, On the fourth of March next, at the clone of the Forty-First Congress, the terms of service of twentv-four Senators will expire. A “Liran and Hungry Cassias.” A little pnekageof skin and bon e s, known to the world as Alexander 11. Stephens, weighs, it is said, but seventy-four pounds. A Prospective Addition to the Family. The white people of the Indian Territory have petitioned to come into the Union tinder the name of Yokohama. Wo are willing to admit all hut the name. Th«* Georgia Press. Georgia has ninety-one periodicals— fourteen dailies, seven tri-weeklies, five semi-weeklies, seventy-seven weeklies, one semi-monthly, tan monibiicß, and uno bi monthly. Servility. Not one politician of prominence, has yet dared to speak on the subject of Italy’s emancipation from Popish rule, so careful are they of injuring the feelings of some body, particularly of the Irish voters, of the country. This is cited, as an illustration of the fact that the Americrn politician of to-day is distinguished in the eyes of the world, as the most outspoken, independent and disinterested of mortals ! A Dodge. The Providence Post notes that the “bloody-handed rebel” dodge is now doing duty in New Hampshire. A Radical editor in Portsmouth assures his readers that if the Democrats ever regain power, their first act will be to make Cabinet officers of Wig fall and Toombs. This is a ghastly and a ghostly prospect indeed. But inasmuch as Wigfall has been dead for several years, we would ask our Radical brother if he isn’t running the thing into the ground ? "Why Not a Compliment I It is said that the number of lobbyists in Albany, where the General Assembly of “that envenomed copperhead community” as the Radical Congressman Julian was wont to call the State of New Y’ork, meets, is unprecedentedly large. Th 9 services of some of the long-headed, conscienceless nimble-tongued members of the ‘Third House,’ who have been in retirement for years, have been offered and accepted by different rings leaving jobs to carry to suc cessful completion. As the Assembly this year is largely Democratic, is not this fact, rather than establishing the corruptness of Democratic legislators, conclusive proof of the oft-repeated assertion, that it takes more money to purchase the vote and influence the judgmentof a Democrat than a Radical? Tile Butler. A Radical paper, the Louisiana Leader, in an article favoring Butler and Schenck, as candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, in the election of 1872, takes occasion, in speaking of the former, to say that “he is a sound statesman, and if nom inated by the National Republican Conven tion will make a successful run, especially if the Democrats unwisely repeat their action of’oß and put into the field an ultra man like Pendleton of Ohio.” The leader expresses truth certainly when it says that Butler is a ao-und statesman ; does not in deed the smartness of this insolent bluster er consists chiefly in the constant venting of ‘sound and fury, signifying nothing?’ There is not a particle of doubt too, but he would run well—he practiced that on the Peninsular, at Big Bethel, Bermuda Hun dred and at other places, where his breast was not the part of his person most promi nent to the enemy. A Protest. The Constitution savs that the Bar of Savannah has protested against the ap pointment of Simms, the ignorant negro, as the District Judge. It is contended that the Court can’t be organized until the Sen ate confirms his nomination. The Gover nor of Georgia can only make an appoint ment to fill an office which has become vacant-, and that the present case is not of an office which has been vacated, but for the original organization and establishment of a court made only in the way pointed out by the strong and peculiar language of the Constitution, and the acts of the Legis lature providing for such organization aud establishment. But they ask the bar of this country to unite in the resolution to resist by all legal means the imposition upon this district of nDy officer claiming his office in violation of the constitution and laws. They thus wind up their protest: Your committee forbear to express any opinion as to the course of the Executive of Georgia in endeavoring to force upon an intelligent and law abiding community an incompetent and obnoxious individual as the occupant of a high and responsible offico, because they consider it beneath the dignity of the bar of Georgia to treat other wise than with contempt the efforts of the present incumbent of the Executive chair to lower the position of their profession, or to bring into disrepute the character of the Judiciary of Georgia. Another Colored Congressman. The second colored member of the House was sworn in on Tuesday from Georgia. He is not so bright a mulatto as Rainey, of South Carolina, nor Senator Revels, though be is three-fourths white. The next House will contain a genuine black represPntative in the person of Elliott, of South Carolina. Long, who was admitted Tuesday, was quite warmly congratulated by several leading Republican members. Rainey and Long fraternized at once, and struck up a conversation as soon as the latter was sworn in. Long received many congraula tions from the white Republicans also. ♦‘United we Stand, Divided we Fall.” Communicated.] This is as true in the financial, social, moral, and religious, as it is in the political world. Without this unity of action no town, city or community can proper ; with it the road to success is certain. Too much individuality iu society produces anarchy and confusion, not enough of it and man is apt to sink the individual to tn in organi zations. Either of these extremes are very hurtful, but a happy medium is pro* duetive of the highest degree of success and prosperity. There is nothing to be gained by members in the same town, city or community arraying themselves agiinst one another. There should be in every society, unity of action as near as possible on everything of a moral, social, financial and religious character. It is a great mis take that any branch of business necessarily requires the overthrow or injury of another in the same community; but on the con trary, it is almost impossible to advance the situation of any one branch of society without benefiting the condition of the rest of the same community. When for instance, mechanics, laborer'-, hotel and boarding house keepers are pros perous, it benefits every member of the They then have money to pay the doctor, the lawyer, the merchant, the blacksmith ; and all are thereby benefited. Indeed it is astonishing what a small town cr city can accomplish by a proper concen tration of energy and talent with an eye to advancing the situation of the whole. The true policy of the inhabitants of a town should be to foster and cultivate a desire to advance the interest of every member of the community, for so doing they improve their condition. The wretched situation of France is en tirely owing to this want of unity of ac.ion on the part of her inhabitants. The French are a brave, generous and gallant people, doomed however, to ruin. France has fallen not by the superior power of Prussia but by her internal strifes—by a want of unity on Hie part of her people. With half the men and money she possessed, with a proper concentration of ta'ent, energy and resources she was invincible, without this element of cohesion she has gone down, perhaps to rise no more The Macedonian phalan when they joined their bucklers and presented a united front, were absolutely invincible, but when once broken w r as no more formidable than any other body of soldiers. Just so it is with a town or city, their success depends more on a concentra tion of effort, energy and talent than on numbers or other natural advantages. When a desire pervades the mind of every individual of a town to advance the interest of the whole community, then each one will use his or her influence to accomplish this end. This will cause tnem to patronize home enterprises, so that if buildings are to be erected they will employ mechanics of the town. If a lawyer or doctor’s services are required, then they will likewise em ploy of their town for such purposes. If goods are needed they will save both time and money by buying from the mer chants of the town; in this way a community becomes self-supporting and consequently becomes independent of the rest of the country. Citizen. Land Grabs. The ventilation given in the last two years by the entire democratic press of the country, and a goodly portion of the radical newspapers, has led the public to believe that radicalism, with all its bold and hyp ocritical effrontery would not dare to con tinue the scheme of voting away the public domain to rings of unprincipaled railroad monopolists, but the public have been de ceived in the temper and mettle of these men. The ventilation of the land steal of the two Pacific railroads aroused public attention during the last political campaign in some measure to their enormity, but the extent of the swindle was but partially de veloped, until the meeting of the present Congress, and the failing of Oaks Ames, the president of the Union Pacific company. And yet with all this public sentiment and public attention, the land stealing lobby is stronger and more avaricious than ever, and seem determined to use their power while they possess the control of the party in power, well knowing that the new mem bers will be less easily managed. Sherman, the leader of the Republican party in Con cress, is urging a land steal for the Southern Pacific railroad, more gigantic than any heretofore urged. Every Western State and territory has a land stealing lobby, which united, will in all probability succeed in their wicked purposes by uniting their strength with the steamship subsidy scheme of the Eastern States and Grant’s San Domingo territorial steal. This condition of legislative dishonesty and cupidity is really appalling. The people are goaded to the last extremity by unreasonable and unnecessary taxation with no effect and no prospect of relief, and our representatives both State and Nation spend weeks and months, complacently contriving systems and schemes to enrich themselves, with no thought of their impoverished constituents. Our own Sta'e Legislature have been in session some weeks ar.d have succeeded in the dirty job of making John A. Logan, the dirtiest dog of them all, United States ‘Sen ator, and making appropriations for their own pay, and have adjourned to recuperate their exhausted energies. In contemplation of the political aspect, we are almost led to think that there is not virtue and honesty sufficient for the maintainence of our Re publican institutions.— lll. Free Trader. Beast Butler in Petticoats. On Satuiday night of last week, a re spectably attired woman called at the house of the Mayor of Washington, who was re ceiving his friends; stated that she had cal’ed to pay her respects, and added that, as she was quite hungry, she would go to the supper room. t>he was shown the way to the eatables, and alter a time, having staved so long over the refreshments hs to excite curiosity, the hostess decended to the dining-room, to ascertain something more concerning her, when it was discovered that the lady had taken her leave by the back gate, having previously possessed herself of a number of articles of silver ware, such as spooDS, forks, salt-holders, napkin-rings, etc. Synopsis of Telegraphic New*. DOMESTIC. Raleigh, Jan. 30. —The impeachpent tr al of Holden was formally cummeieed to day—Chief Justice Parson pre-idng Counsel for the managers and respondent were present. The managers requited that the Bth article of impeachment b? amended as to substitute the of Veathery fur Berry. Th« defense ohjeited. The Chief Jusiiee rendered in favor u' the managers, whereupon the deter.se asked until Thursday to amend their resp in accordance with the Bch artio.e. Time was granted until Wednesday, when the Court adjourned until 12, M. that day. Washington, January 31.—Butler, roni the Committee on Reco. strucuon, reported back with a recommendation that k do pass, the Senate bill prescribing an oath of office to be taken by persons who partici pated in the iu'e rebellion, but who are not disqualified from holding < ffiee by the 14th amendment of the Constitution. Maynaid argued against the bill as in effect repealing the test oath act: hs hoped the House v*uld hesitate before taking so important* so fun damental, and so irrevocable a step. Jlorey argued as to the inconsistency of abolishing the test oath for those who could no; take it, and retaining it for those who iould. |Farnsworth took a like view of the alaurd ity and incongruity of the bill. Poster argued against the pffiev of a measure which would throw open appoint ments to public office to ex reb-L. He wanted to see some legislation <o protect the loyal people of the Smth. Cox favored the bid as * sffip towards reconstruction arid reconciliation. Without disposing of the question, the IL use adjourned. Lewis Downing, ClurokeoChief, who was reported to hhve been as-sesdnated, is here. The government has favorable advices regarding Tehauntepf'c Shi l Canal. The outrage committee,examined three witnesses, who test fied that the most trouble there grew out ol secret societies. Washington, Feb. 1 —House —The abol ition of the test oath was resumed. Platte, of Virginia, favored it; b mg, of Georgia, opposed it ; Morey, of Louisiana, favored it; Maynard, of Tennessee, ipposed it; Porter, of Virginia, opposed it. The bill finally passed —llß to 80 and goes to the Presi dent. Mr. Butler, of Mass iclusetts, said he had reported the bill as a mouthpiece for the Reconstruction Commicee, but could not support it. “Be it enacted. &c , That when any per son who is riot rendered ineligible to office by the provisions of the 14th amendment t > the Constitution, be elected or appointed to ‘any office of honor or trust, under the Gov ernment of the Unite: S'ates, and shall not be able, on account of his participation in the late rebellion, totake the oath prescrib ed in the act of Corgress approved July 2, 1862, said person shall, in lieu of said oath, before entering unon the duties of said office, take and subscribe to the oath pre scribed in an act of Congress, entitled an act prescribing and oa’h of office to be tnken by persons whose legal disabilities shall have been removed, approved July 11th, 1868.” A bill for the relief of purchasers of lands sold for direct taxes in insurrectionary States passed. Albany, Fob. I— A resolution has been introduced in the Senate, amending the Constitution so as to exclude from the rights of suffrage persons betting on elec tions, or who shall promise, give, or receive valuable considerations lor votes. Washington, Fob. I.—The House is debating the bill for the repeal of the test oath. Bingham. Platt, an! Dawes are in favor of, and Jeff. L ng, colored, is against it. In the Senate the Georgia Senatorial question was taken up. Watson submitted Farrow for Hill in the majority report, but failed by a vote of 19 to -36. Hill was then sworn in as Senator from Georgia. The question was resumed upon seating Mr. Miller. Trumbull gave notice that he would offer a resolution that Miller was duly elected, and billow it with a concurrent resolution prescribing a form of an oath to be taken in his case. FOREIGN. Washington, Jan. 27. The State De partment has the following from Mr. Mor gan acting Mini ster to England, dated this morning. The German Embassador here has officially stated to me that the capitula tion of all the Paris forts and an armistice of three weeks, by sea and land, was sign ed about 8 o’clock last night at Versailles, bv Count Bismarck and M. Jules Favre The army of Paris remain prisoners of war in the city. But it is not known whether they are to be disarmed or not. No details have been received. London, January 28 —Favre was in conference with Bismark at midnight. Bismark carried his point. The capitula tion involves peace ; the cession of A!°ace and German Lorraine and part of the fleet, are among the indemnity to be guaranteed by the municipalities; a portion of the Germans to return home and the war to cease. It is necessary that some territory be re tained to secure the fulfillment of the com pact. The mobiles are to be sent homo, and the German army to enter Paris. The Emperor will return immediately to Berlin. Bourbaki attempted to kill himself after his defeat at Belford. His injuries are so severe that his life is despaired of. The Times publishes, by request from Chiselhurst. a denial of its statement that intrigues were going on between Bismark and the Bonapartiots for the restoration of the latter. Versailles, Jan. 30.—The entrance and egress from Paris is forbidden. The revit alizing of Paris is proceeding under German supervision. Confidence is expressed at the German headquarters that peace is secured. The German troops are ohagrined at be ing forbidden to enter into Paris. Blair’s Opinion of Grant.. Ihe New iork Sun now admits that Gen. I rank Blair e opinion of the tyrant Grant was nnt “far wrong.” It says: I rank Biair has always maintained that Gen. Grant would not leave the White House quietly at the end of the terra, but wouid undertake, by a military revolution, to make himself a permanent mler mon arch, dictator, Emperor—whatever he might call it—of this country. “This has always seemed to us a mis taken opinion ; but the pig-headed obsti nacy with which he is trying to force upon the people this foul und odious San Domin go job, looks os though Frank Blair might not be so far wrong in this respect aa most people baye thought him.” A SCE\E IS THE WHITE HOUSE. A Magnificent Slice of Cold Shoulder— Washington Correspondence of the Cin cinnati Commercial. I was told of a rather good thing that came off yesterday- You can rely up -n the facta, for the same was given ine'by an e\c witness, who, in picturing it to the little cr« wd, was not aware that two of the same were professional pen-drivers, ever on the lookout for the strange or amusing. It seems that ic was thought best that all the gentlemen not in office who happened to be at tho national capital from the Pacif ic slope should, in view of the proposed change in the Cabinet, whereby Attorney- General Ak’erman would be rotated out and Senator Williams rotated in, call in a body on llis Kxeelleney and express their ap proval of the choice, and their confidence in every-hody. To this end a sub-committee interviewed the High Custodian, Gen. Dent, and secured an appointment for the enthusias ic Slopers. At the hour indicated eighteen solid looking, tall, handsome men tiled into the reception room of the Executive Volcano, that seems to be in a perpetual stare of smouldering inactivity, and did erupt on this occassion, and were duly presented by ex-G 'V. Wood of Oregon. After the expect ant Simpers were seated ex Gov. Wood opened as spokesman. He said that they had called as representative men from the Pacific slope, to express their high confi dence in Senator Williams, and to express the hope that, at last, the just claims of thoir wide region would be recognized by a Cabinet appointment. At tfiis point, and before the Governor could finish his well rounded sentence, the President removed his cigar from his mouth and broke out with : “Hold on there—hold on, gentlemen. You’re speaking now about my private affairs, and on my private affairs I don’t allow no man to interfere.” The interruption was so abrupt, the voice and manner so intentionally rude, that the ex-Governor was completely dumbfounded. A dead silence fell upon the crowd, and the younger and the more timid moved uneasi'y in their chairs, casting longing eyes at the door, as if wishing to escape immediately. “In selectihg my Cabinet,” continued His Excellency, “I advised with no one.” “The is well aware of that/’ drily remarked an old fellow from Montana. “It is a family affair,” the Chief Magis trate went on to say, “and eighteen gentle men had flashed through eighteen represen tative skulls the thought that it was “a d —d sight too much so.” “Well,” said a representative man from California, “it is a great regret to many of your best friends, Mr. President, that you don’t advise with someone when it comes to filling offices in California. We are sad dled with a gang of carpet-baggers who neither know our politics nor care a cent for our country.” To this the administration made no reply other than scowling in wrath at the speak er. “I hope at least, Mr. President, that our well meant demonstration will not injure Senator Williams in your estimation,” said Judge Dunn. “lfanything could, this certainly would,” was the churlish reply. “I can assure you, sir,” continued the Ju'lge, “that Senator Williams knows noth ing about it. “I should hope not—and I don’t believe that he does,” said the President drily. A long, awkard silence followed. Some were alarmed, some were disgusted, and all were mad. The snub was so pointed, so infernally rude, that being administered to men who had roughed it in the wild West, and hoard in their times lions roar, a per sonal encounter would have been a natural consequence. A promiscuous rump-kick ing in the Executive Mansion would have been delicious. Os course, the grand master of ceremonies. Gen Dent, would have sound ed the alarm through his trumpet of a nose, and all the liveried flunkies of the White House would have sailed in to the assistance of the royal master. I would, have bet heavily on the representative men in such a scrimmage. They are not good in a civil deinonstration_such as they attempted, but in a row on this occassion I believe they would have given the Administration the healthiest sort of a “hist.” As it was, after a long, awkward silence, the Slopers rose and sloped. They took no order on their going, but went promiscu ously and at once. Some are of the opinion that the Admin istration had taken a drop too much ; others thatjit happened* to be in a devil of a bad humor. I suspect that the Administra tion had but a short time previous read Orvill's tender epistle in print. Certainly the selection of a Cabinet is a delicate matter, and such demonstration was not exactly the right thing to engage in. But then it. was not the proper course to insult the well-meaning gentlemen en gaged in the affair. They will all be in the next Nationals orninating Convention, and a sweet lot they will prove ta be for Grant to meet. * X) P. The Next Presidential Election. The New Tribune says that “all the laws making Federal apportionments take affect from and after the 3d of March, in the third year from the beginning of each decade ” Upon this the Cincinnati Enquirer suggests the query. “Under what apportionment, old or new, are we to hold the Presidential election of 1872?” In 1832 the Electors were chosen, we observe, upon the old ba sis of 1820 and not that of 1830. It was not until 1836 that the basis was applied to Presidential Electors.” “Next fall we shall vote for members of Congress under the new apportionment of 1870, and it would look very odd, if, at the same time, we should choose Presidential Electors un der that of 1860. As the new Congress and the new President both come in on the same day, why should there be this diset imina tion ?” This is a matter of importance to the Southern and Western States whose popu lation has been on the increase since 1860. Under the apportionment of 1860 on’y three fifths of the negro population of the South was allowed in the culcu-ation in fixing our ratio of representation. Under the appor tionment of 1870 the full strength of that olass of our population will bo taken into the count. It is not probable that the pres ent Congress will make any change in the law upon this subject. It is but just that the next Congress should, very early in its first session, make such alterations in the law as will give to each State its proper vote under the-apportionment last made prior to a presidential election. r^i,K * r 9 n tails that already reach to the I ueitie will be extended in no long period to Alaska itself, and a tunnel under Beh ring’s Straits, connecting the oldest with newest continent, and forming part of an unbroken railroad from New York to St. 1 etersburg, may be among tho possibilies of the future.—JVeic York Times.} Lee and TUad. Stephens. Though a mau who was very loath to give his views to the public, General Lee was a man who entertained strong and decided convictions upon political affairs. In pri vate he would often speak of the Radicals in Congress, and their short-sighted policy toward the South, and say, “Poor men : they little know what mischief they are doing.” Not long after his arrival in Lex ington, he was summoned, greatly against his wishes, to appear before the Reconstruct tion Committee in Washington. On the morning after his arrival in the capital he went to the room of the committee, and took his seat before any of the members arrived. Shortly afterwards several members of the committee, whom General Lee reeogniz ed as gentlemen, entered the room succes sively and extended their hands to him, who courteously returned their salutation, and entered into conversation with them. At last the door opened, and looking up Gener al Lee saw a disagreeable, morose and ill natured countenance in the door way—tho physiognomy of lion. Thaddcus Stevens. Walking up to where Lee wns standing, Stevens ext nded his hard, but the General could not get his consent to recognize such a man, and proudly folding his arms he turned his back up in the discomfited lead er of the “God and morality party.” About Cotton. An interesting feature of the cotton sta tistics of the country for the year ending October 1, 1870, is contained in the state ment of the relative importance of the cot ton manufactures, North and South. During the year there were in the North 637 mills, working 6,851,779 spindles, and using 784 - 153 bales ; in the South, 109 mills, 292,221 spindles, and 69,Uf7 bales converted into cloth. The increase throughout the countrv in the number of mills, spindies, and bales consumed over previous year is quite mark ed. The figures show an increase of 350,- 443 spindles, and in the consumption of cotton of 17.310 bales, or 8,066,460 pounds. Massachusetts is, of coui>c, at the head of the cotton spinning industry of the enuntry, having 128 mills, 32,149 looms, and SoS,- 818 spindles, and consuming about 115,000. 000 pounds of cotton. The prospects of the manufacturers are at present, owing to many causes —the combined effect of a present excess in supply and the war in Europe —better than they have been for a long time. Constitution. The Georgia Victory. The result of the electien in Georgia is a Democratic victory. A Democratic Govern or. a Democratic Legislature, two Demo cratic United States Senators, and a major ity of Democrats in the Congressional delegation ; such, it is reported, are the fruits that prove the complete failure of the best laid schemes of Congressional recon struction in the last of the reconstructed States. Out of eleven States subjected to the rule of the bayonet and the will of crea tures in epaulets—suljected, humiliated, outraged, villified, destroyed and recon* structed, in order to give their political de cision to the Radical party —that party still retains South Carolina, Florida and Missi » sippi, with a feeble foothold in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, —a foothold that will certainly be lost at the next general election. Can Radicals honestly say they think their attempt to change the sentiments and opin ions of American citizens by force has paid? —Gh icago Tim es. TnE Washington correspondent of the New York Herald thus tells about Jeff. Long’s admission to Congress: “The negro is an intelligent looking man, about medium height, of rather sp ire figure, with a well shaped head, covered with an abundant crop of wool. lie is a much better representative of the negro race than Rain ey, of South Carolina, who is more like a Cuban than an African. Ass >on as he was sworn n he was warmly congratulated by Kelly, of Pennsylvania. Ben Butler and other Radicals seemed fearful that he would go over to the Democratic side of the House, and accordingly set about to get him a se; t on the Republican side. It was manifest that he had never been in Congress before, for he looked around with an air of bewil derment as if he had suddenly found him self in the wrong box.” If confidence may be placed in outward and visible signs, the State of New Hamp shire is about to perform a political somer sault. The Democrats, for the first time in several years, are now thoioughly in harmony among themselves and working earnestly and vigorously to secure success. 1 heir candidate for Governor is known and respected throughout the State, and his liberality; high character, and eminent abilities are conceded even’by his political opponents. On the other hand, “Elder ’ Pike, the Radical candidate, is said to be a religious and political bigot, believing that all spiritual grace centres in his church, and that all patriotism is confined to his political party. The Democrats express the utmost confidence in being able to defeat him by a handsome majority.— Union and American. Protection of Ship.t from Icebergs. It is well known that icebergs cool the water around them to a very considerable distance. An American gentlemen named Dion has made this fact the foundation of an invitation to protect vessels against col lision with icebergs. He proposes to place on the bottom of steamers or other vessels an apparatus so arranged as to sound an alarm on the instant the ship’s keel enters a stra tum of cold water. The invention is said to have been suggested by the supposed fate of the lost steamer City of Boston. Blodgett says the State Road is in debt to the amount of six hundred thousand dol lars. That is a good “pile” to steal in a little over one year, besides the income of the road amounting to six or eight hundred thousand more. y\DVEHTISEMENTS. SHORT-HAND WRITING.
