“An Opinion as is an Opinion/'
1A m. M. Evarts, tho fatuous New York
lawyer, hat given a legal opinion that the
income tax is unconstitutional.
True Though Profane.
Several papers when speaking of recent
amendments to the Constitution, use the ex*
pression, "the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth bedamnm«nt«.”
Quite a Cleaning Oaf*
Bat about twenty of the members of the
last House of Representatives, are returned ;
the rest of the House is made up of new
men. "There’s a good time coming.”
Right'
A bill has been introduced into the
North Carolina House of Representatives,
tasking it a great offense to belong to a se
cret political society.
One Item.
The sum of twenty-seven million four
hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars
is asked for the army in the bill reported
to the House by the committee on Appro
priations.
A Petticoated Aeplrant.
Victoria C. Woodhull, of New York, an
nounces herself a candidate for the Presi
dency, subject to the action of the convention
called by an organization euphoniously
named the “Cosmo-political” party, to be
held in October next.
The Single of u Name.
General Grant gave Senator Thayer, of
Nebraska, a letter urging his re-election
The Senator imprudently showed the letter
and the Legislature dropped him like a hot
potato. No man in the West can be chosen
to any office, who is known to be a pet of
General Grant.
The Cabinet to be Reconstructed *
The World’s Washington correspondent
telegraphs that it is understood in Wash
ington that a thorough re-organization of
the President’s Cabinet will be made on
the 4th of March. Senator Morton is to be
Secretary of State, and Governor Morgan
will probably have a seat. All the present
members except Delano retire.
The Cucumber or the President.
Messrs. B. K. Bliss & Sons, gardners
somewhere in New York, have given to a
new variety of cucumber which they are
cultivating, the name of the General Grant
Cucumber, as we see by the advertising
department of the American Agriculturist.
In this case is the cucumber the recipient
of the compliment, or the President.
Oar Exports.
Oiw exports of breadstuffs and wheat in
1870 were to the value of $47,172,229 ; of
wheat flour, $21,169,593 ; Indiana corn and
oorn meal, $2,233,251; bread and biscuit,
$581,046; barley, $140,512, Great Britain
and her colonies being the chief purchasers.
Os our cotton, $154 000,000 worth was
taken by England ; $36,009,000 by France ;
$20,000,600 by the German Zolverein;
$6,600,000 by Spain, and $3,481,000 by
Russia.
The Power Behind the Throne.
It is now whispered about that Caleb
Cashing, of Massachusetts, an old political
stager, is the real Secretary of State, and
that the President pays very little attention
*to the advice of the regularly appointed one,
Hamilton Fish. It will be remembered
that the first named gentleman wrote sever
al State Papers for Andy Johnson, during
his administration, the real author being
casually discovered, by the use of several
expressions peculiar to him, on 6 of which
was, "the occasional bullet.”
The Milk in the C'oconnut.
The New York Times severely condemns
the reprehensible practice indulged in peri
odically by the Democracy of New York,
through Tammany Hall of passing resolu
tions of sympathy for the Fenian cause,
giving suppers to impecunious exiles from
the ‘ould sod,’ presenting Irish political
societies with transparencies, banners, etc.
The Times is a Radical organ and looks
with holy horror upon the constantly in
creasing Irish democratic vote of the coun
try, which accounts for the warmth exhib
ited in its condemnatory editorials upon the
subject.
Not Altogether Lovely.
The Hartford Post, does not favor the
Sad Domingo job of His Royal Superfluity,
President Grant, and to sustain it argument
against the proposed purchase of that black
man’s paradise, quotes from Admiral Read
ford, who said that as far as the "salubrious
climate” was concerned it was the worst he
knew of on the whole globe—a place where
white men cannot live—a "Republic” of
I00j)00 blacks, without wearing apparel
enough in the country to give one of Cor
reg’o’s cherubs a change of linen—an extent
of territory that would not sell in any mar
ket for the amount of money our
revenue system would compel ur to pay to
environ it*with custom-houses*—an unde
fended patch of land which it would cost
twenty-five millions of money to fortify,
and large sums of money annually to garri
son and defend—a new ‘Texas’ for adven
turess and paradise for loafers and thieves,
who will manage to stay there long enough
to be sent to Congress in self-defense by
tbs black natives—ft pool for speculators
and a nest of sin.
What the Germans awe to the Democracy.
The Germans of the Pacific ore a dis
criminating close of men. In an address
recently published, they say to their breth
ren of the East:
"We owe to the Democratic party the
liberal naturalization laws under which we
have become citizens of a free republic.
We owe to that party the repeal of the odi
ous Sunday laws by which we were tram*
meled under Radical authority. We owe
that party that our cosmopolitan schools
have become a State institution. Our
countrymen throughout the Western States
owe to the liberal pre-emption laws passed
by the Democratic party, their easily ac
quired farms and homes. We owe to the
Radical party the present odious system of
internal revenue, continued by the votes of
that party after its necessity was past. We
owe to that party the present unjust and
odious high tariff that is eating out our
substance ; and we owe to it the oppressive
taxes that we are compelled to pay to sup
port an army of Federal assessors and
collectors. And, more than nil, we owe to
that party the odious Fifteenth amendment,
which destroys the sovereignty of the States,
and fills our cities with the pagan slaves
from China.”
Distinguished Converts.
Rev. E. P. Walton tells us that Hons.
Ilershel V. Johnson and A. 11. Stephens,
of this State, have embraced the New
Church, or as it is commonly called, the
Swedenborgian doctrine. The former gen
tleman speaks of lecturing on this subject
in this State.— Columbus Sun.

Is it Peace.
Under this head the Cornier des Etats
Unis, of New York, the most influential and
widely circulated French paper in the Uni
ted States, says:
When we state that "the armistice is the
end of the war, it is onr opinion and our
desire,” we mean that if bard pressed by
the fight, mutilated by the sword, charred
by the fire, we are ready to abandon the
arms, the fragments of winch alone the for
tune of war has left in our hand*, it is be
cause we wish to preserve in our veins
enough blood to maintain life ; it is that we
wish to preserve respiration enough to re
vive us, to recover breath, to regain our
strength, to await our opportunity, and then
when the hour has come, to seize our enemy
by the throat and avenge ourselves. That
is savage. Yes. It makes civilization
recoil, and retards that beautiful humani
tarian theory of the abolition of war. Cer
tainly. If we are to be barbarians, be it
so. Toe world will point their finger at us.
What matters it? We have done enough
for tne prosperity of peace, for the arts,
science, industry of humanity.
\\ Hat nas humanity done for us—what ad
vantages have we derived from the disinter
ested services which we have rendered
the civilized world. We have not even ob
tained barren sympathy ; for there is no
people which docs not smile at our down
fall, and only isolated voices in charity dole
out to us a few words of pity. There will
be a truce, but no durable peace for gener
ations who groan beneath their yoke. France
—like those maimed, who suffer after a
limb is amputated, from imaginary pain in
the severed member—will have no rest
until its fragments he collected into the or
iginal whole. So much the worse for Eu
rope, if it trembles at our convulsions. We
have, no longer any bowels of compassion,
no heart save for ourselves. What matters
it to us, the agitation and disturbance of
others. We had enough of chivalry, enough
of generosity, enough of sacrifice and disin
terestedness for others. We are egotists
now, and henceforth will dream only of our
scattered members, children separated from
us, the flesh of our flesh violently torn away
from our quivering body. All is not yet
ruined, thank God.
Alabama Claims.
It is knowing that very favorable nego
tiations are going on between our authori
ties and the British Government, which it
is believed will reach a definite conclusion
before Minister Scbenck leaves for London.
It may be stated, without violating any
confidence,that the matter ia question was
the subject of careful consideration at the
recent Cabinet meeting, and that at the
instance of the Administration it was
brought before the Senate Committee of
Foreign Relations at the meeting held last
Tuesday. The subject was introduced by
a prominent Republican Senator, who is a
member of the committee. •
For some unexplained reason there is a
strong feeling and disposition on the part
of the Administration to settle the long
pending controversy with Great Britain,
since the latter has made known her readi
ness to do so by a compromise, before any
bill should pass the Congress authorizing
the Government to audit and purchase the
claims arisiug out of the depredations of the
Alabama. While the administration is
anxious to settle this matter with Great
Britain by treaty, conceding even more than
it is believed would be acceptable to the
American people, there are a large number
of prominent Republicans who believe that
further efforts should be made to paes the
bill auditing and paying the claims arising
from the depredations committed not only
by the Alabama, but by four other rebel
cruisers.
It is stated that as yet Minister Thornton
has not placed on file any written communi
cation giving the basis upon which his gov
ernment stands ready to make the settle
ment, but all communications have been
of a verbal character. Before the British
government placed its proposition in black
and white, it deemed it best to first ascertain
whether the proposed terms would be ac
ceptable to the United States, and if so,
then formal documents would be transmit
ted to the State department. The President
and his Administration are ready to accept
the terms; but before the treaty is finally
conducted, the feeling of the Seoate must
be fully known so as to be secure against
its rejection if submitted for action.
One peculiar beauty of a high tariff is,
that it promotes sectional jealousy and
complaints that one particular portion of
the country is favored at the expense of the
others.
Some of ttse Little Contingent Expenses
of Congress.
The report of the contingent expenses of
the House of Representatives contains a few
item* of interest. ft appears tht the aver
age cost to the Government of burying a
member of Congress is about fifteen hundred
dollars, which doe* not include the expense
of erecting to his memory one of those ugly
Egyptian-looking monument*, which staod
in long grotesque lines in the Congression
al Cemetery in Washington. The arrest of
Patrick Woods for kicking down u Virginia
Congressman took eight hundrel and sev
enty dollars from the contingent fund, of
which four dollars a day went to keep the
prisoner in provisions during his incarce
ration. The cost of bringing the recalci
trant witness. Florence Scammel from New
York, was $391. Would-be-members who
failed to establish any right to seats in the
House took $51,500 from the fund. The
carting of documents to and from the House
cost $7 500, at one dollar per load. The
charge for board at a New Orleans hotel is
set down at eight dollars per day, which is
the amount charged by the sub committee
of elections and their messengers for the
three months spent in that city investigating
the Louisiana election fraud ß . One thous
and dollars were paid Caleb Cushing f-r
defending Genera! Butler in the suit brought
against him in Baltimore, by Mr. Wuoley
and one thousand dnlljra more to WiUi a rn
Sibley for his services in the same case.
This report of contingent expenses is the
document which furnish so much capital
every year to Democratic stump-speaVers.
From it can be learned, with a little ciph
ering, just how many brushes combs,
towels, and cakes of soap are used in the
House, and the average cost of keeping a
member properly combed, brushed and
washed can be ascertained to a nicety. The
nhmber of boxes of matches used to light
Congressional cigars, the number of pounds
of snuff that go up Congressional noses, the
quantity of lem >ns aud sugar consumed
during the heated term, and a great num
ber of like interesting bits of information
are given with greatest explieituess and
exactness.
Pendleton, Hendricks, Blair.
Mr. Pendleton is an aspirant for the
Denrmeaatic nomination for the Presidency
in 1872, and is jealous of Mr. Hendricks in
the West. He doubtless believes that the
introduction of the name Hendricks into
the Convention of 1868 was one of the main
causes of his dEfeat in that body ; and
therefore Pendleton is plotting to prevent
the nomination or Hendricks in 1872 It
is believed in some well-informed quarters
that this was one of the principal reasons
for holding the recent C duinbus conference,
with the attempted restoration of the old
red sandstone epoch of Democratic doc
trines, in which Hendricks has ceas'd to
put his trust.
Gen. Frank Blair’s speech, wherein he
received the obnoxious sentiments of the
Broadhead letter, may perhaps have been
intended to operate in the same direction
through we rather think not, Blair may
be quite willing to have Hendricks ruled off
the course as not orthodox on old issues,
but he is not likely to prefer Pendleton to
himself as the true exponent of the Demo
cratic faith ; and he may well think that
if the candidate for the Vice- Dre.-ideney in
1864 had the right to demand the first place
on the ticket in 1868, so the nominee for
the Vice* Presidency in 1868 may insist
upon carrying the standard of the party in
1872.
flowpvor, are ow of the nyvinion thnt ere
the next Democratic Convention meets, the
rank and file of the Democracy will teach
all aspirants to the nomination that the red
sandstone epoch, and fossilized politicians
generally, are quite out of date in this pro
gressive age. They have had their day,
and in the estimation of the living men of
the time they are laid away fwrever.— N. Y.

moval of the political disabilities of certain
persons therein named, was duly received;
and having made special inquiry as to the
best course to bo persued in order to secure
for them a favorable consideration, I bave
been informed that in all it is safest
for the applicant to make a written petition

be glad you would notify those in whose
behalf you have written that their petitions
may go before the Reconstruction Commit
tee before they report on such applications,
and you may advise all who desire to make
such applications to do the same. It is not
considered that the statement or promise
commits them to the support of any partic
ular party.
Y'ours, very respectfully,

abandoned property. Several cases where
in foreigner* arc interested, has Keen waived
to abide the decision of the Supreme Court.
In several teat cases the Court of Claim*
has adopted the rule requiring allegation of
loyalty ttrbe expressed in the language of
the *ta?u r e.
Several case? were withdrawn to amend
the petitions in that particular.
Washington, Feby. 6.—The Supreme
Court confirms the judgment of the Court
of Claim* against the validity of the Geor
gia CertiScatea 1777, holding that the fact
th: interest being paid on a portion of them
for a short time did not bind the Govern
ment, for the reason that no purpose to rat
ify their regularity appears, and the paper
oearing the signature of the alleged com
missioner haviug been rejected as soon as
brought to the notice of the proper depart
ment. The amount involved is $60,000.
February 6.—Much has
been said in the press and Congressional
debates as to the purposes of North Germany
in acquiring territory in America for naval
purposes. These publications having come
to the knowledge of Count Bismark, he has
recently taken occasion to repeat, in an
emphatic manner, his declaration of July
1868, that North Germany does not intend
to acquire any territory on this continent,
or possession of any of the adjacent islands.
This course, on her part, is to avoid in
terference in any way with the Monroe doc
trine, of any other measures of acquisition
which this Government may choose to
adopt.
In the House to-day Barry moved to sus
pend the rules for the opening of the Court
of Claims to citizens of the Southern States,
for army stores.
Washburne said that the Committee on
Claims would introduce a measure next
week which would be in every way satis
factory to the Southern representatives.
The House refused a suspension of the
rules.
Washington, Feb. 6. —Letters from St.
Petersburg say that Russia will not inter
fere in favor of France.
It is expected at Berlin, upon the con
clusion of peace, that the Prussian troops
will enter Paris in triumph, and the fifth
army corps will hold Champaign until the
war indemnity is paid.
The Emperor telegraphs to the Empress,
ordering grand salutes in honor of the late
decisive events.
It is officially stated that Prussia will not
strip France of 'her Indian, Asiatic or
trans-Atlantic possessions.
Washington, February 7.—The bill
paying loyal citizens of Loudon county, Va ,
for live stock taken by the United States
troops during the war, under an order
issued by Gen. Sheridan, was discussed,
and passed by yeas 38 to 10 nays. It in
vnlveo the payment of property taken by
the government within the confines of the
rebellion. A similar bill to pay Mrs. Shel
by, of Miss., for cotton taken from her by
rebels, and cantured by United States sol
diers, was favorably received, but no quo
rum voting, the Seriate adjourned.
Among the items of the Deficiency Ap
propriation Bill are four and three-quarter
millions for the post-office ; three and a half
inillons for the army ; over one hundred
thousand for the Freedmen’s Bureau. After
considerable discussion, the bill was amend
ed SO as to provide that it *hall not apply to
any claim of loyal men arising in the States
formerly in insurrection which by operation
of law could not be fully settled and ad
justed, and that all other claims be present
ed within six years from the passage of the
act. The second section was amended so as
to apply only to persons who had been
employees of the Government within three
years. The bill as thus amended, was
passed.
FOREIGN.
London, February 4. — At a meeting of
the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce to
day, remarks were made by Gen. Robert
Graves and Wm. Rathbone, members of
Parliament from Liverpool, the former
Conservative and the latter Liberal, in
which hope was expressed that Schenck
would be enabled to settle the Alabama
claims in a manner satisfactory to the
United States and Great Britain. Both
gentlemen agreed in expressing the con
viction that all native born Americans
cherish an affection for England, and that
aliens of the United States alone are hostile
to this country.
London, Feb. 6— A complete rupture
has taken place between the Paris Govern
ment and Gambetta.
The restoration of the Empire is most
probable.
It is reported that the Pope has under
taken to assist in restoration.
Report says Bismarck is laboring under
severe mental excitement—his mind being
so unbalanced as to render him virtually
insane.
A number of journals of North France
denounce the recent decrees by Gambetta,
and urge that the country needs and desires
peace.
Rochfort announces the forthcoming
issue of the new paper, entitled “Mot d’
Ordre,” which will advocate regicide.
In addition the $36,75“,000 already paid
by the United States to the several States
for expenses incurred in raising volunteers
during the late war, the sum of $7,786,000
stilly remains due. Maine has a claim for
$287,000; New Hampshire for $400,000;
Vermont for $132,000; Massachusetts for
$251,0u0 ; Rhode Island for $40,0' 0; Con
necticut for $300,0 0; New York for $900,-

Nebraska for SIB,OOO. The other States
have been paid in full, or nearlv so. Among
these, Delaware received $3,019, and that
for subsistence only.
Washington died (after an incumbency
of the Presidential office of eight years),

fifteen years comparatively impoverished.

Dear Sir— lhave , through post of this

appointee for Judge of the First District,
an' official written notification under the
seal of the State informing me of my ap
pointment as District Attorney of the First
Senatorial Distirct.
Whilst I should be pleased to fill the office
in question, under a Judge of high charac
ter, possessing good legal attainments and
intellectual culture, I cannot for one second
entertain the monstrous proposition of ac
cepting it under the embryo Judge appoint
ed for the position. Io this connection, I
may say that I have no desire to misinter
pret the motive of your Excellency in the
appointment, but cannot refrain from the
opinion that it must have been done as a
purposed insult to myself, and through me
to the bar of the Eastern Circuit If Ibe
correct in this opinion, I despise the effort.
Whilst I have never known or seen this
James M. Simms until about one month
ago, I can safely say that in his appoint
ment your Excellency has done more to
disgrace the Executive office of Georgia
than in any previous error of your adminis
tration. He is a disgrace to your Excellen
cy, and his appointment a lasting memento
of an attempt by a Governor of Georgia to
soil and and sgrace the Judiciary of the State.
Under these circumstances your Excellent
cy will pardon me for herewith returning
to you my commission.

Diamonds in Hail County Ga.
The Telegraph editor at Macon has in*
terviewed Dr. Stephenson, of Hall county,
on the diamond discoveries of that section
of the State and has elicited some curious
facts. The Doctor says about forty dia
monds have been found in Uall county
alone, but the most valuable have been
destroyed or lost through ignorance of their
character and value, some negroes Troke
one worth a hundred thousand dollars to
pieces, to see what there was in it. A
farmer describes one which was given to
him thirty years ago, and used by himself
as a child and his boys subsequently, for a
middle man in marbles; but it was lost
about the place six months ago, and they
are hunting for it now. Nothing wns
known about its value until similar storm*
were pronounced to be diamonds, and then
the farmer knew that he and his boys had
been playing marbles with a diamond
which from description, the Doctor thinks
must be worth half a million dollars, and
be one of the most valuable gems in the
world. The Doctor says that labor and
capital only are needed to prove these
diamond fields in Georgia surpass in value
those of Brazil, and are equal to any in
the world.
