THETHOMASTON HERALD. CHAS. G. BEA RC E, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR THOMASTON, GA., FEB. 11,1871. The THOMAtTOH HERALD hits a ttrge Circulation in Up<ion, Pike, Meriwether, Talbot,Up to. Id lug, Monroe, Bibb, Mnocogre and Batts. “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. Directors Macon ami Brnnsvrlck R. R. At an annual meeting of the Macon and Brunswick Railroad Company, held in Ma con on Thursday, the following D factors were chosen : Geo. £l. Hazlehurst, W. A. Huff, John Screven, H. B. Plant. M. K. Jessup, J. P. G. Foster, J.- Milbank, C. 11. Dabney. 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. Sun. How- People are to <lo Who Want to Get Their Disabilities Removed. Washington. D. 0., January 30, 1871. How. J. S. Bigby -x-Dear Sir: Yours of recent date, asking me to apply for the re 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 addressed to Congress, stating therein his willingness or determination to support tho Government of the United States. I would 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, Marion Bethune. Washington, D. C , January 30, 1871. Editor Constitution — Dear Sir: 1 hand you a copy of a letter from myself to Judge Bigby. You may publish the letter or such parts theieof or such notice of its contents, as you may think will be of interest. Yours, very respectfully, Marion Bethune. The above we very cheerfully give in full for the information of those who may desire to apply to Congress for tne removal of their disabilities. It gives matter that will be of interest to many, and it will save the trouble of muoli unnecessary correspondence, making inqui ry upon the points included.— Constitution. Agricultural.

DOMESTIC* Wasihnotom, F'-Hruary s.—The Court of oluiin!* w.iK engaged in trying Cott-.n cu-ph nr.der the net relating to captured and abandoned property.

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,- 000; New Jersey for $53,00 *: Pennsyl vania for $236,000 ; Maryland for $17,0 0: Ohio for $563,000 ; Indiana for sl. 0 * Michigan for $lu6,000; Illinois for $1 620 - 000; Wisconsin for $160.000; lowa for $386,000 ; Kentucky for $1,208,000 ; and 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), DOt vr° 80 as ODe year’s salary of the President. Madison and Monroe died very poor. Washington went into the Revolutionary War comparatively rich, and came out of the Government service of fifteen years comparatively impoverished. Grant, in 1861, was not worth ten cents ; he of ‘‘service” on the 4th of March, with a fortune, it is believed, of mil lions of dollars, and with his “familv,” lineal, collateral, and matrimonial, saddled upon the Government. .

E-q : Sir — Having been duly qualified Judge of the First Senatorial District Court ; the duty of qualifying the District Attorney h iv ing been devolved upon me; and your cre dentials with other necessary papers having been placed io my hands, directing me to qualifv you as such, when it will be your pleasure so to do ; you will I presume in form me at your convenience. Respectfully, etc., James M. Simms. Savannah. Jan. 31. 1871. Hon It. B Bullock , Governor of Georgia : Dear Sir— lhave , through post of this day, received from James M. Simms, your 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. Very truly, T. R. Mills, Jk. 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. The sunken Confederate ram Georgia, better known during the late war to the people of this State as the “Ladies’ Gun boat.” (she having been built by contribu tions from the patriotic wives, mothers and daughters of the -oldiers of the Lost Cause), is about to be removed from the river abreast of Fort Jackson, where she was sunk by her crew on the evacuation of 8a van nah by General Hardee, in December, 1864 Captain Abell, who has charge of the work, has blown off the iron roof of the Geargia with powder, and by the aid of careful and experienced divers, will Boon succeed in removing the obstructions com pletely.—Savannah News.
