Gone Up!
The Senate, 83 will be seen by our special
telegrams, passed the reconstruction bUl at half
past throe o'clock last evening, and Georgia
again afloat, without chart or compass, on a sea
of uncertainties and. troubles. We have no
time to waste in vain maledictions and regrets
over this catastrophe. At best, it is bound to
prove a great misfortnno; but the question of
the extent and character of the changes it will
superindnoe in onr condition all rests on tha
point whether iho destrnctionisfs can, by the
process of purgation, seouro a plastic majority
in both Housos; or, in other words, whether
they can pack a Legislature thoroughly under
their control. If they can, their schemes to
radicalize Georgia nro of the most daring char
acter, and they will carry them out
We will publish the bill as soon as we receive
correct ono. It supersedes, of course, the regular
meeting of the Legislature on the 2d Wednesday
of next month, and that body os constituted by
the first State election is to bo called together
by Executive proclamation on a day to bo as
signed, when it will be subjected to the purge
according to the terms of the act. . We have
heard that Aaron Alpeoria Bradley has already
turned np for another political career in Georgia.
Yankees in a Charleston Negro Court
One of onr “dead hood” subscribers, who
happened to bo over in Charleston the other
day, tells the following:
A fellow representing a Boston bucket factory
came ashore from a steamer, carrying abont
dozen diminutive specimens of his merchandise,
and, taking up the first street he came to, offered
them right and left. TTa fans not progressed far
before a negro policeman arrested and carried
him beforo a coal-black justice, charged with
peddling without license. The sable mngistrato
not only fined him the cool snm of $100, bnt
roundly lectured the man of buckets upon his
conduct He paid the fine and left “the Court’
and city in thorough disgust
On the same day another drummer from New
York was arraigned before bis sable honor, for
the same offense. The drummer insisted that
he had sold nothing, only been offering, bnt had
made no salos. Whereupon the black dignitary
told him to prove that, but while hunting up
his proof ho must loave §."0 with him by way
of baiL The drummer handed over the money,
went ont and brought in three or fonr merchants
who all stated that he had sold nothing to them.
After the witnesses got through, the following
decision was delivered:
“Dis Court hab heard de prefixes and de
conclusion to dis kase, and decides dat de yan-
keo hab left do case in donbt; and it bein do
law to gib de State de benefit of de donbt, dis
court will keep do fifty dollars.” These are
faots.
Mb. Tomlin’s Letteb is as censorious and
uncharitable .as it is short-sighted. His asper
sions of that portion of the Press of Georgia
which saw no,'practical benefit likely to result
to Georgia from the expulsion of the negroes,
and were willing to reseat them in conformity
with the decision of the Supreme Court, if Con
gress would havo waited upon the Legislature,
are of such a character as to make a reply de
grading. The rule and the tost of a wise states
manship are deducible from the condition, and
manifested by the results; and there is cer
tainly nothing in the latter to warrant an arro
gant and offensive dogmatism. The best that
can bo said of theso pilots is that they did not
understand the soundings or the dangers of
the seas, and ran their ship ashore. They are
bad navigators, and not in a condition to do
graceful strutting on the qnarter-deck; or to
corse other seamen, who understood the situa
tion a great deal better than they did. Mr.
Tomlin’s sagacity halts on every leg, and the
best course wo can think of for all hands, is to
be quiet, cautious and wary; for our chances
to escape serious mischief lie very much in onr
ability to watch, wait, and take all possible ad
vantages the situation may offer as opportuni
ties arise.
Ban Fellows.—Butler says in his opinion the
worst men in the South are the newspaper edit
ors. Is not Gen. Butler ashamed to say so,
when the Southern newspapers have given him
so many gratuitous notices which have been of
vast service to him among his constituency?
Butler’s influence with his party could only be
impaired by silence or good words from the
Southern press, and he owe3 ns a debt of grati
tude for a serviceable malediction which has
constantly kept him before the people and made
him the most prominent of the Badical leaders.
Postil Telegraphy.—It is stated that the
Postmaster General will, daring the present
session of Congress, recommend legislation look
ing toward the adoption of a postal telegraph
system by the Fostoffice Department. Senator
Ramsey, the chairman of the Postal Committee
in the Senate, is said to be a very warm advo
cate of this plan, and believes the day is not far
distant when the government will adopt it.
Tax Pope’s Health.—The apprehensions in
regard to the health of the Pope were caused by
the report which was circulated throughout
Europe that he had an apoplectic attack and
remained incapable of motion. The report is
pronounced utterly without foundation. The
health of the Pope is at present remarkably
good.
Talbotton Standard.—Messrs. John B. Gor
man and John T. Waterman have started a suc
cessor to tho West Georgia Gazette in the Tal
botton Standard. Mr. Gorman is a clever
writer and has been a very successful corres
pondent of the Telegraph. Mr. Waterman is
favorably known to many of onr citizens. We
wish the new enterprise success.
Equal Rights.—The Selma Times of Tuesday
gays: “ There was a striko among the mail
agents yesterday. A negro route agent having
been put on the route between this city and Ma
rion Junction, Mr. Lyttlo and tho other white
agents refused to go out on the same train. As
a consequence, there was no agent on tho train
hence to Meridian yesterday.”
Scott's Monthly yob December, now edited
by Wm. Henry Wylley, continues Miss Barn
well’s tale of tho bloody Queen’s reign. Mrs.
Westmoreland contributes, a story nnder tho
title of “Turned Authoress.” Jones and Brown
or what’s in a name is concluded. Besides these
are good many more articles, prose and poetical
—original and selected.
Americus City Council.—The Republican
reports the election of the following ticket, last
Saturday:
Mayor, Dr. R. C. Black. Aldermen: A. S.
Cutts, H. L. French, fi. T. Walters, M. B.
Council, J. W. Uemley, J. E. Hall. Clerk and
Treasurer, H. D. Randall.
The agents of Congressional Radicalism in
Georgia seem to manifest a great penchant for
oounforfeit money, ~ '
('ongreM and the ConMtilntiou,
The discussion in the Senate over the Georgia
bill, a* well as several other projects of Con;
gressional usurpation before tlytt body, show
that the pretence of a Constitutional Govern
ment is getting too shallow and sickly to be
much longer tolerated by Congress. It deceives
nobody—not even themselves, and it is getting
too preposterous and absurd to be otherwise
than tiresome to men even of the very moderate
abilities of those who now compose the Senate
of flic United States. ’ ;T •
The pretences upon which they claim the
authority of fundamental law for constitutional
amendments, extorted from States which they
themselves declare are not States, are too lrans
parent to mislead, a ten-year-old ecliool-boy; as,
for illustration, that of Howard, that Georgia
still had an alternative and an election in the
case of the Fifteenth Amendment, because she
could elect to remain out of the Union rather
than vote aye for the Amendment. The alter
native is political death. Vote aye and you are
afire voter; vote no and. yon are a dead one.
Vote aye and your Stale is in the Union, and to
be coanted as-a voter; vote no and yon are no
voting State at all. '
It was no wondeT that Matt Carpenter, of
Wisconsin, in effect called upon Senators to
halt and stop such talk—for no good could come
of it. No courts could respect laws enacted in
that way. Bnt Williams clinched tho matter on
Carpenter by sconting at the idea that any
court could go behind the declaration of Con
gress, that the Constitution hud been legally
amended. Snch a declaration was conclusive
of the fact! Congress bad been sworn, and it
would indeed bo inexcusablo presumption to as
sume that they had perjured themselves.
‘ Congress and Georgia.
Tho action of Congress towards Georgia can
not fail to arouso tho patriotism of every ono
of her sons who has a particle of lovo for the
old State in his bosom. Not moro- the charac
ter of the legislation than tho circumstances of
deliberate insult and contumely under which it
was adopted, are calculated to inspire a lasting
indignation and resentmont. This State—we
venture to say tho most orderly and quiet Stato
in Uie Union—was publicly denounced in Con
gress as a “hett," and her virtuous and intelli
gent peoplg branded as guitly of the most afro
cions crimes. How many Georgians, after this,
can sympathise with a political party, guilty of
such base and cruel injustice! How much of
following will Bollock and the destructives gath
erwith them by tile power of pelf and plunder,
to plunge the murderous knifo into the bosom of
old Georgia, and aid in snch a work of recon
struction as is contemplated! Who is ready to
write his name indelibly on the page of history
as an aider and abettor in so foul a conspiracy
For ourselves, we connsel watchfulness and
silence. Perhaps the les3 the papers and poli
ticians have to say, the better. The ability of
the destructives to carry out their schemes with
the Legislature is a point yet to bo settled, and
we yet hope that patriotism will be too strong
for the destructives.

The Sonth Carolina War.
The Charleston News says Gov. Scott is still
accumulating rifles, accoutrements and ball
cartridges, and not a week passes that he does
not add to his store. The New York steamer
of Friday is reported to have brought a large
consignment, and by next summer the State
will have as many Winchester rifles, sets of ac
coutrements and rounds of ammunition as are
needed for the coming campaign.
There are in Colombia some Radicals bold
enough to acknowledge that Gov. Seott is qui
etly making ready, for the elections which tako
place next fall. They avow their determination
to carry the Stato at any cost, and declare that
they will, if necessary, post a detachment of
negro soldiers at every polling place whore a
Badical majority is at all donbtfnL The hopo-
lessly Radical counties will not bo molested;
bnt Charleston and the up-country will be held
at the point of tho bayonet.
Interesting Books.
Dr. B. F. Sams is canvassing in Macon for
the following highly interesting and valnable
works: Our New West, by Samuel Bowles;
“Court Circles of the Republic,” by Mrs. Ellett,
of Charleston, and the “Life of Christ,” by
Fleetwood. The first embraces an account of
the travels, experiences and observations of the
author—graphic descriptions of the wondorfnl
scenery, agriculture, gold and silver mines,
farms, natural parks, etc., of our new Western
States and Territories; also, Pacific Railroad,
the Mormons, Chinese and Indians.
The second work contains a description of
life and society under eighteen Presidents, de
scribing the social features of the successive
administrations from Washington to Grant;
also-with letters from Mrs. Robert Tyler, and
sketches by Mrs. Mack.
The Life of Christ is beautifully illustrated
and illuminated. -
«- The Legislative Test Oath.
Tho “Act to promoto tho Reconstruction of
Georgia,” was published yosterday in the tele
grams of the Associated Press. The test-oath
is long, verbose and obscure, and with its savage
array of penalties, is perhaps concoctod in that
shape, with a design. Tho hasty reader will
oonclnde that it is in effect, the old iron-clad,
and excludes every body who ever gave aid or
comfort to the rebellion; bnt it really excludes
none who had not previous to the war, taken
an official oath to support tho constitution of
the United States.
Bond Injunction.
Judge Sessions, of tho Superior Court of the
Brunswick District, issued an order on the 19th
instant enjoining the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad Company, Wm. L. Avery and State
Treasurer N. L. Angler, from signing and using
any State Aid Bonds of said Company, or issu
ing or circulating any endorsed by the Treasur
er November 17, 1869.

Infamy of the Georgia Bill Exposed'
Ballock .Glories in Ills Slmmcfal Victory,
In tho debate in tho House on' the Georgia bill,
tho Democrats took the ground ihnt Congress liad
no right fo constiinto itself an 'appellate court to
pass upon tho acts of a State Legislatures.
_ Voorhoea said ho believed in the doctrine of onco
a State, always a Stato. If Georgia is a Stato for
one purpose, she was a State for another, and
Congres could not interfere with her.
Etheridge denounced tho hill a3 revolutionary,
and contrary to a republican form of government.
Ho said it would make the people of Georgia slaves
to this Congress and slaves to tho general govern
ment. Ho hoped that' Georgia would not accedo to
tho terms imposed, and that tho Fifteenth Amend
ment would be resisted in every State,' by all con
stitutional means.
Cox said, nothing in tho reconstruction laws re
quired tho seating of negroos; that Congress had
no right to reviso tho legislation of a Stato. Bo
spoke of Ballock wriggling around Congress to get
Georgia out of .tho Union, and gave as a reason his
opera houso and other schemes for plundering tho
State. , ... WGHfcbLMnr. ~j(|
Bingham moved a postponement- of the hill till
tho third Wednesday in January, and said that
despite party dictation, ho should vote against it
Tho bill was unjust and unwise. Tho President
never intended to impose an oath on tho pooplo of
Georgia.
Farnsworth coincided with Bingham. Butler
closed the debate in his usual stylo, and charged
the people of Georgia with disloyalty and outrage
ous crimes, and made tho Radicals laugh by an in
decent double entendre.
Tho cierk read a letter of Bullock’s, saying that
ho should, tho moment tho bill became a law, issue
a proclamation calling tho Legislature together on
the 12th of January.
Tho motion to postpone was defeated by a vote
of 117 to 54. Bullock was on tho floor, and exult
ant over tho triumph of his diabolical plot.

The Paris Figaro of Thursday says that Count
> Dorn has had a conversation with the Emperor
on tho subject of his entering tho Cabinet. Ho
made a condition of receiving tho appointment
that tho Orleans Princo3 should bo permitted to
enter France. The Emperor replied that “it
was the Republic that exiled them,” and con
cluded his remarks to the Count with the words,
‘•Soe mo again on this interesting subject.”

Fifteen Pounds of Gold.—The Atlanta Con
stitution says a gentleman came up from Grant-
. villa on Monday last with fifteen pounds of solid
gold. We always thought Grantvilla was a good
place, bat'now we know it. The. gold was mined
out of the neighborhood of Grantville. Fifteen
pounds of gold, we suppose, were worth in the
neighborhood of $3,500. Tho samo paper has
the following:
Accidentally Shot Himself. — Yesterday
morning, as a gentleman employed on the-State
Road, was about to take tho cars at Griffin for
Atlanta, his pistol fell on the floor with such
force as to fire it off. A hall passed through the
right leg of the gentleman (whose, name we did
not lenrn) into his. right arm, infliirtawg such a
serious wound that it is. thought that the arm
will have to bo amputated.
: A gentleman informs ns that Judge Qrr, of
South Carolina, who has just returned from
Washington, informed him that Gov. Ballock
was Bpending money by the thousands. - He has.
a fine suit of rooms, keeps a fine carriage con
stantly at bia disposal, and- entertains elegantly
and lavishly. Orr asked if Bnllock was a man
of muoh wealth.. When informed that he was
not,. Orr. said that he ought to be, to throw
money away as he did.
Jerry McBride, Switchtender on tho Cen
tral Railroad in ; Savannab, was so fatally crush
ed between two cars, on Monday,,that he died
in two hours. The News tells the following:
The Murdeb at WmtMABSH.—Wo published
in the- News yesterday an account of a murder
of a negro man on Wbitmarsh Island. The ne
gro woman who was reportod to, have commit
ted the deed was arrested at Thunderbolt on
Sunday, and information sent.to the Chief of
Police'in this city. Coroner nardt-n yesterday
proceeded to tho plantation of Mrs. Amorous
where the murder was - committed, and empan-
nelleda jury. From the evidence elicited, it
appears that the murdered man and his wife had
a difficulty on Saturday, which however, had
befen settled, when the wife’s daughter and. her
son-in-law came over and tho daughter com
menced abusing, her mother's husband apd at
tempted to striko him with a hoe which, he af
ter a struggle, wrested from- her grasp. The
wprnan then seized air axe,; which was also about
to bo taken from her, when sho threw it to her
husband, who seized and delfc the unfortunate
negro a blow on tbo forehead, felling him to the
ground, -mortally injured. The female fiend,
not satisfied with her husband’s work, took np
hoe and gave the dying man a terrible blow in
the side. Tho participants in this bloody drama
seemed not (o realize their terrible crime, atd
spoke of it as a mere commonplace affair. The
matter is still undergoing Investigation by the
Coroner, and the inquest will be concluded to
day. The scone of the difficulty is on the same
island where the murderers of Brodbaker and
Brickman lived, and it is moro than probablo
that tho murderer is ono of Bullock’s pardoned
pets connected with that horrible transaction.
Savannah.—Col. A. Q, Lamar, editor of the
Sun and Times, just relumed from Savannah
says in an editorial:- ,
Everything bears the air of thrift, progress,
and that happiness which springs from well di
rected and successful effort. The forest of ship
ping along the wharves, the.rush to and lro of
busy men, die rattle of drays,' the hum of ma
chinery at the cotton and the roar of
street ears, show the life, energy and enterprise
of the men, while the well dressed and elegant
ladies in the parks and squares, or the neat gar
dens where the japonica blooms in exliuberance,
and the orange tree bends under its golden bur-
.deh, tell of the taste and refinement of the gen-,
tier sex.
The cotton trade has been heavy so farj Sa
vannah having received more in proportion to
the conntry tributary to her.than New Orleans.
In another year this difference must grow great
er, for by that time Savannah will have control
of a continuous lino pf rail transportation to the
Mississippi. At Vicksburg a bale of cotton is
twp weeks nearer Liverpool by Savannah than
by New Orleans, and as the railroads do their
own insurance, freight on that bale of cotton to
the Atlantic port is cheaper. So, in spite of
opposition, Savannah must make the Valley of
the Mississippi and the intervening country trib-
utaryTo her. _ ' 1
What has given her this wonderful power and
advantage? The answer is plain. . Tha manage
ment of her great corporation, the Central Rail
road, a much maligned and misunderstood com
pany. In minor details its management may
be.subject to criticism and animadversion. In
deed, it may at times and in some localities be
unfair and unjust, but the faot' stands that it
haB mado Savannah the seaport of tho Sonth,
and in this it has benefitted every foot of soil
in Georgia and every man who owns an interest
ih St. And for this, if for nothing more, this
road is entitled to the earnest aid and support
of Georgians of nil sections. Savannnh is quite
as sonnd nnd healthy politically as sho is finan
cially and commercially. Tho day of Bradloy
& Co. is gone'forever, nnd onr brethren'or the
seaboard have so much money and consequently
so many friends that they smile rather then shud
der at being a second time ejected from the ark
of the Union.-

Company of the United States of America.
This great company, chartered by special act
of Congress, with its immense paid np cosh
capital, is attracting no little attention through
out the country, having issued moro policies
during its first year than the largest company
in tho world, daring any single year of its
twenty-two years’ experience, prior to 1SG5.
That its management is first-class, and that
only ’the very best risks are accepted, is at
tested by tho fact that ont of 7,000 policy hold
ers only thirteen have died; three of these by
acoident.
When the risk3 of a company are so widely

New Yore, Nov., 23,1869. j
Dr. Wm. Jeuson—Sir: Yonr remedy known as
tho “Southern Soothing Syrup” possesses peculiar
value in my estimation. I tried two bottles of it in
tho case of my own child—a delicate boy of fivo
years of ago, whose feehlo stato of health gave mo
much anxiety—with tho most marked and happy re-
snlts. It allays restlessness, and nervous irritabili
ty ;’ controls looseness of the bowels, while it in
vigorates and nourishes tho digestive organs. From
all I can see, and with tho nature of its composi
tion, which you havo made known to mo, in answer
to my inquiries, I have no hesitation in asserting,
that I regard it as a most valuable discovery—for
while possessing the most soothing sedativo quali
ties, it may be administered without fear of incur
ring the injurious and distressing effect, of opium,
and its kindred narcotics. So satisfied am I of its
merits, that yon may use this letter as yon deem
proper. Respectfully, etc.,

at intervals of 3 hours. To my surprise on Tuesday
evening I was much better and could begin to walk.
In 3 or 4 days I was as clear of pain as ono of my

and my God that I can now work again. Mr. Brooks

■f LET COMMON SENSE DECIDE. _ .
What is the rational mode of procedure in cases
of general debility and nervous prostration? Does
not reason tell us that judicious stimulation la re
quired. To resort to violent- purgation in such a
case is as absurd as it would be to bleed a starring
man. Yet it is done every day. Yes, ibis stupid
and nuphilosophical practice is continued in the
teeth of tho great fact that physical weakness,
with all the nervous disturbances that accompany
it, is more certainly and rapidly relieved by Hoa-
retter’s Stomach Bitters than by any other medicine
at present known. It is truo that general debility
iaqften attended with'torpidity or irregularity of
the bowels, and that this symptom must not'be
overlooked. But whilo tho dischargo of tbo waste
matter in tho syBtem i9 expedited or regulated,
vigor must be recruited. The Bitters do both. They
combine aperient and anti-billions properties, with
extraordinary tonio power. Even while removing
obstructions from tho bowels, they tone and invig
orate those organs. Through the stomach, upon
which the great vegetable specific acts directly,
gives a healthy and permanent impetus to every
enfeebled function. Digestion is’ facilitated, the
faltering circulation regulated, the blood reinforced
by a new accessory of tho alimentary principle, the
fcerves braced and all tha dormant powers of the
system roused into healthy action: not spasmodic
ally, as wonld be the case if a mere stimulant wore
administered, but for a continuance. It is in this
way that snch extraordinary changes aro wrought
in tho condition of the feeble, emaciated and perr
ons invalids by tho uso of this wonderful corrective,
alterative and tonio. Let common sense decide be
tween Buch a preparation and a prostrating cathar
tic supplemented by a poisonous astringent like
strychnine or quinia.
