• umpbs have been won on every stage in Europe

most refined and cnltivated audiences in the
world. She baa proved herself more than wor

full blood, and in tho matchless sweetness and
purity of her strains, to la diva A delina. It is
not often such a resplendent metoor flashes
athwart our horizon, and wo know no one will
willingly mfss bathing soul and sense in its
glorions brilliancy.

- Burlingame.
The telegraph informs us of tho death of this
Individual at St. Petersburg on Tuesday. He
was, at tho iimo of his death, cruising around
Xurope at the head of a lot of Chinese dignita
ries, on a sort of special embassy from tho Em
peror of that country. As his salary was $40,000
In gold, per annum, and with free admittance
Into what arecollod the ‘‘highest circles” of Eu
ropean society, it is reasonable to suppose he
was making a good thing of it, besides having a
real jolly time. He had made little or no repu
tation in this country, although at one time and
toother, holding various positions under the
Federal government—notably as a member of
9tmgress, from Massachusetts, his native State,
and United States Minister to China. After the
Hon. Preston S. Brooks, of South Carolina, so
righteously flogged the slanderer Sumner, Bur
lingame challenged'him to fight a duel, and
armed Niagara Falls as the place of meeting. As
Hr. Brooks, to reach it, would have been com
pelled to travel through tho North, and thus ex
pose himself to tho fury of the Northern mob,
Be very sensibly declined to fight him there, and
so Burlingame got a great reputation for valor
among his sort, at a very cheap rate.
The Fifteenth Amendment.—The Courier
Jicraroal’s Washington special of the 20th says:
The President expects to issue his .proclamation
by the middle of tie week announcing tho rati
fication o£ the Fifteenth Amendment Nebras
ka ratified it on Thursday, and as soon as Mis-
JfissijHJi -g admitted, which will probably bo by
tte middle of the present week, the requisite
number of States has been obtained without
counting New York, Georgia and Texas. It is
nnderstood also that a joint resolution will be
mtroduced in Congress declaring that the
amendment has been dnly ratified by three-
fourths of all the States. If this is done it will
first be necessary to obtain an official statement
of the date of tho ratification by each State
from the State Department. Republican mem
bers say that bills will be at once introduced by
virtue of the power conferred on Congress by
the second section of the Amendment to inforco
the provisions of tho first. New Hampshire
will be the first State to hold an election nndcr
the Amendment, but in Connepiicnt it will have
a more practical illustration, as the members
from that State estimate that it will add over a
thousand votes at tho April election.

Liquid Laughing Gab.—In a recent lecture
at Cooper Institute Hall, Mr. Hewett stated he
had condensed laughing gas to a liquid by the
aid of a peculiar instrument that he brought
from Paris some time ago. When .the nitro-

New York Times on tbe Georgia
Senators.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times, telegraphs that paper:
The new Senators elected by the Georgia Le
gislature are not up, in point of character and
standing, to what was toped for from the re
generated Legislature of that State. _ Mr. Blod
gett only, is well known here, but is probably
tho least popular of any one of the prominent
Bepnblicans of Georgia. Mr. Farrow, elected
to supercede Joshua Hill, is the present Attor
ney General of the State, and is said to bo a
very able and proper man. He has not been
much identified with the quarrels of the factions
of the State. Mr. Whitcly, elected for the Bhort
term, was the Republican candidate for Con
gress in tho Third District, but was defeated by
his Democratic competitor, Nelson Tift.
What the result will be, it is impossible to
say. It looks now as though there would be a
great muddle in the matter. It is not at all
probable that tho House will declare Georgia
entitled to representation, except uponcondi-
tions such as have been imposed upon Virginia
and Mississippi. The Judiciary Committee of
the Senate, it is understood, will hold ■ that a
new declaration of the right of the State to rep
resentation is unnecessary, and that the creden
tials of Hill and Miller are properly before it
for consideration. Should they be overruled by
tbe Senate, and the House proposition be con
curred in, then the whole question of the valid
ity of the old Legislature will come up for de
cision in this case. There would seem to be no
way out of the question, except through the po
sition of General Terry, that the acts of De
cember 22d, 18G9, taken in connection with the
previous acts of reconstruction, placed the gov
ernment of the State on a provisional basis,
with its action wholly subject to revision by
Congress.
“So way out, hut further inwill be the brief
history of this reconstruction business to the
end of it—when the people take hold, reverse
the engine and back 6quare out upon the firm
ground of the law and republican usage. It is
“a great muddle," says the Times, after five
years of Congressional action notoriously in
outrage of Constitutional law and the plain
principles of civil liberty; and it will be
greater muddle” five years hence; because no
amount of bad government can make good gov
ernment—no amount of abuse and persistence
in error can accomplish tho ends of law, right
and justice.
Congress and tho dominant party are unwise
enough to suppose they can accomplish the
ends of law and right by lawlessness and wrong
—can reach heaven by the road to pandemoni-
; but unless somebody has revolutionized

The following is ari extract from the speech

all ethical principles, it cannot be done.
Did the reader ever undertake to cross a
swamp on foot, and find it getting wonderfully
boggy ? He has gone 60 far, and sinks so fast,
that the only apparent chance is to go ahead
with accelerated pace. He knows how bad it is
behind, and he hopes it may be better before
him. At all events, he must take tho chances,
and he works through in a hurry if he don’t get
finally mired in his progress. Now, Congress
has got into a great political and moral bog, in
this reconstruction progress, and sinks deeper
with every forward and more impatient rqpve,
and ‘hopes to work through the swamp in a
hurry; but it is a kind of bog which must
necessarily be worse with every single advance.
Every step calls for now and more fatal -vio
lations of sonnd principle. Reconstruction has
progressed now to the point of an entire revo
lution of the American system and a substitu
tion of a'mongrel plan cf jurisdiction in the
States which must inevitably lead to trouble. In
enforcing that system, it will be found that the
Federal government must constantly claim and
exercise new and increasing powers, while tho
multiplicity of tho subjects of her jurisdiction—
tho inherent difficulty of exercising it at great
distances, on imperfect information and under
partisan bios—will make the government odious,
inefficient, incompetent, expensive and vexa
tious to an intolerable degree; so that there
will be no way at last, but revolution or a square
back out to the firm ground of tho local sover
eignty of tho States and tho restriction of the
Federal government to its old delegated func
tions.
A “Poore"’ Way to Cut an .Acquaintance.—
A Washington correspondent of tho Herald who
was at Forney’s black and white party, says
that some curious mistakes occurred, among
others the following. Poore is just the man to
embrace tho negro when under Sumner’s eye,
and then try to cut him when he could get his
rations without swallowing the dose. This in
cident will bo recognized as true to the life, up
about Athens, where Poore is so odoronsly em
balmed in the memories of some of the old
citizens of that place:
A few mistakes occurred which may bo par
doned under the circumstances. For instance,
Major Poore (white) unintentionally tortured
Ya3hon (black). Poore came late, and was
thirsty. Va?hon, with his specks on, sat at the
table. Said Poore to Vashon:
“ Go and get me some wine, my good fel
low.”
Said Vashon, with all tho dignity of his race,
to Poore :
“Sir, I think we have met before, at Sum
ner’s. I believe I am addressing Major Poore,
am I not ? And tho Major must remember
we dined together vith Senator Sumne.”
Said Poore-:—“Oh, I bog your pardon. So wo
did, sir. How aro you, Professor?
And Pioro and Vashon embraced. It isn’t
necessary to explain that Poore seen Voshon/a
colored man)atthe table,supposed Vashon to bo
a waiter and ordered the wine. Mistakes will
happen in the best regulated families, you
know.
The Dark and Bloody Gbound.—The city
of New York is now called “Tho Dark and
Bloody Ground,” and Philadelphia goes by the
name of “The Butchery.” Heaven, wo reckon,
in vengeance for their slanders upon tbe South
is afflicting them with “tho eldest primal curse,”
and murders come up like frogs of .tho Nile in
the days of Pharaoh. A movement is on foot
among tho New York lawyers to purge, the
bench and bar, but it is said the fabric will dis
appear in tho washing.
The Moegan -Affair of Foety Years Ago.—
Taere is at least one gentleman in this city who
knows every incident connected with the abduc
tion and subsequent fate of Morgan. There is
no mystery about the affair now. It is not im
probable that the entire story will be laid beforo
tho publio at come future day, and so set at rest
the speculations which the writer in Packard
and many others have wasted their ingenuity
upon.—Sew York Times. -—
lx is said that a new description of lava is
being thrown from the crater of.Vesuvius since
the last eruption, consisting of crysinlized salt.
This beautiful phenomenon has hitherto been
unknown in volcanio natural history.
Pennsylvania—a dean, smooth, forcible speaker
who used words that cut like a knife. He said
“the Dread Scott decision went to hell-with
Judge Taney;” and the idea that one man was
better than another man went to hell with the
chivalry of South Carolina. He demanded all
the rights that any man enjoyed. He came from
Pennsylvania because this was a black man’s
government, and they meant to keep it so. For
one he wonld never rest satisfied nntil he conld
enter any hotel or theatre in tho State, and it
was preposterous far any black man belonging
to a majority of twenty-five thousand to demand
any lesser privileges than were acoorded to
every white person in the State. They had the
power and meant to enforce it, cost what it
might
Do the white men who are driving the negroes
on to take such positions and make such threats
as this, realize their danger if a crisis comes ?
Have they counted the cost of such a desperate
game to retain their hold on the offices they
haveTobbed the Southern people of ? Surely
-not, else they wonld choke down such mad dogs
as Parvis.
We h&ve the gravest doubts as to the possi
bility of preserving peace, anyhow,if Badicalism
don’t check up' in its efforts to set the negroes
and whites by tha ears. WeUo not see bow it ic
possible to avoid a conflict in South Carolina
where the negroes are following the lead of
those like Parris, and white men a great deal
worse. Any attempt to enforce their claims to
the equality claimed by them must, if the white
people are not utterly disheartened and cowed,
breed blows and blood. The State government
will probably support tho negroes, and then
there is war. Who can see the end of a con
flict like this? We shudder at the question,
even. Why it will mock and shame, in its
fearful atrocity and hideousness, all the warn
that devils have grinned at and exulted in since
the days of the first mnrderer. The Lord save
even these fiends who aro praying and working
for it, from its horrors!
Wo hope most sincerely there will bo no move
of this kind attempted in Georgia, bnt we have
the gravest apprehensions. The negro mem
bers of the Atlanta Agency, we hear, are tread
ing fast on the heels of their color in South
Carolina. They are talking all sorts of pestilent
stuff about social equality, a3 well a3 political
equality. They, and the ineffably mean and
degraded white wretches who jump at the crack
of their whip, will soon begi»4o clamor for a
mixed militia, negroes in the jary. box,anyhow,
and as policemen in our cities, and a full, free
and undisputed admittance to all our churches,
schools, theatres, hotels, Tailroad cars, steam
boats, etc., on terms of perfect equality with
white people. No steps have beon taken to
wards these purposes yet, but they ore being
discussed and considered with a view to legisla
tion. This we hear from various sources.
Now, these people may as well know at once,
.and finally, that the white people of Georgia will
not submit to any snch degradation. The Agen
cy may pass a thousand laws on these subjects,
but they will be as the idle wind in tho face of
a unanimous, undaunted public sentiment. The
white people of this State are perfectly willing
to continue to the negroes all the civil and po
litical rights they now have, but this thing of
enforced companionship in car, church, theatre
and tavern will not be to tolerated. Thoso who
are contemplating it had, for their own sakes
and safety, better abandon it. It is the most
dangerous matter they have ever handled yet
It will turn out tho bitterest draught they have
ever mixed. It will prove tho Iliad of all their
woes. We don’t talk idly, for we know the sen
timent of the whites on all these points. We
know how horrible to them is-the thought of a
race-war, bnt we know, too, how firm and un
yielding is their determination not to submit to
everything. If Gov. Bullock has any wisdom
at at all, he tfon’i take Scott, of South Carolina,
or Clayton, of Arkansas, as an exemplar. If he
knows, as well as we think we do, the full con
sequences of more legislation to put the black
man any higher than he is now above the white
man, he had better keep his Agency well in
hand when they start oil this social equality cra-
sade. If ho does not, wo wouldn’t undertake
to answer for tho consequences, for any consid
eration. Ho can hold them in if he wishes—
that we know. If he fails to do so, we know, at
once, the reason why.
One word more, in conclusion, to all these
agitators, white and black, and especially tho
former, and wo drop the subject: If you do
push tho whito people to the verge of despera
tion, be sure you have a line ot retreat well se-
curred beforo they strike. Men who rise up
against what has bocomo intolerable, pass over,
the agent and clutch for tho principal. And
when their blood is up, thoy aro not apt to
listen to any oxcuses, cither. To “ those whom
it may concern” wo need not speak more plain
ly. Let them ponder our word3.
A Heavy Apfeal.—The Lynchburg News
makes the following remonstrance against whis
ky: .
- There is a sufficient quantity of fermented
and distilled liqnor nsed in the United States,
in one year, to fill a canal four feet deep, four
teen feet wide, and one hundred and twenty
miles in length. The places where intoxicating
liquors aro made and sold in this country, if
placed in rows in direct lines, would mako a
street one hundred miles in length. If the vic
tims of the rum traffic were there also, we
should see a suicide at every mile, and one hun
dred funerals a day. If the drunkards of
America could be plaocd in procession, five
abreast, they would make an army one hundred
miles in length. What an army of victims!—
Every hour In the night the Heavens are lighted
with the incendiary torch of the drunkard.—
Every hour in the day the earth is stained with
the blood shed by drunken assassins. See the
great army of inebriates, more than half a mil
lion strong, marching-on to the sure and swift
destruction—filing off rapidly into the poor-
houses and prisons and np to the scaffold, and
yet the ranks are constantly filled by the mod
erate drinkers. Who can compute the fortunes
squandered, the hopes erased, the hearts bro
ken, the homes made desolate, by drunkenness.
Of Course.—A Montana paper says the Fed
eral officers and soldiers, who recently attacked
and murdered, while asleep in thoir tents, one
hundred and seventy-four Indians, are “quite
proud of the results of the expedition.”
Not a doubt of it. It seems to run in tho
blood of some people, notably people in blue
and brass, to plume themselves on killing,
burning, and devastating whore there is no dan
ger of a rcokoning. Wo shouldn’t bo at all sur
prised, if these valiant men at arms were not
with Sherman, in Georgia, or Sheridan, in Vir
ginia, and distinguished themselves by thoir
valor against houses, barns, churches, and
women and children. As detectivo Wimpey
would say, their last achievement has the
“wring" of that sort of metaL

The Work Progresses.—From the long trains
loaded with iron, whioh occasionally pass here,
going Westward, we infer that the work on the
Macon and Augusta Railroad is being rapidly
pushed forward, and we hope the day is not far
distant when we may be able to chronicle its
completion.
Judging from the number of car loads of
Guano, emptied daily at the depot, onr farmers
are investing largely in the article. Increased
productiveness will thus supply the deficiency
of labor and prevent any serious injury to our
farming interests.
A Bullet received at the battle of Seven
Pines, daring the war, was extracted by a sur

townsman, Mr. E. P. Burnet, a few days since,
The Constitution has heard a good story on
Capt. Blodgett, late of the O. S. A.: Ho met a
gentleman whom he knew before, and recalled
himself to the gentleman’s recollection. The
gentleman looked at him, and said : “Oh, yes,
I romember Capt. Blodgett, when he brought
his Confederate company to Richmond early in
the rebellion.”
Shall we have Big Things?—Superintendent
Blodgett paid $20,000, last mouth, into tho
Treasury, and says he would have paid more,
but for lifting old indebtedness to the amount
of $100,000.
We learn that Harris, the' Master of Trans
portation, advertised that he had brought from
Chattanooga 2GQ car loads a day.
Take 150 car loads a day at $30 a car, and tho
road gets $4,500 per day; or for one week $27,-
000, or for one month $103,000.
This is not saying anything about local
freights, passenger fare, mails, eto.
The publio will expect the biggest kind of a
payment into the Treasury for this month.—

The Chronicle and Sentinelsays active opera

Answering an inquiry in the Constitution, as
to how the Agency could elect a Senator for the
term ending 1877, when the Codo ..says that
Senators shall be elected during the session
preceding the beginning xjf the term to be
filled, the Chronicle says there is no difficulty
in answering the inquiry. As tho Legislature
was not created by law it is uncontrolled by law,
Being the creature of the military power which
knows no law, and called into existence for par-
tizan purposes, it must subserve those purposes
irrespective of constitution or law. As to
whether the Legislature will hold over to 1873
or indefinitely, that is a mere question of ex
pediency. Until its objects are accomplished
it will be very apt to “hold its holt.”
Tho local of the Constitution tells a long story
of a young girl, who was seduced by a member
of the Agency and brought to Atlanta, and how,
getting tired of her, he finally stole all the
money she had made by sewing and deserted
her. The writer ought to have published the
scoundrel’s name. We’ll wager a hat he is a

Cold.—Sunday night and yesterday morning
were fiercely and unutterably cold. Tlie whole

Oglethorpe College—Faib Warning.—The
peoplo of Atlanta are reminded that tho last
week for taking subscriptions is at hand. All
who intend to aid tho good work must do so
now, or not at all; for in a few days tho oppor
tunity for securing the college to Atlanta, will,
in all probability, havo passed away. Not one-
half tho amount required has yet been sub
scribed. Surely tho people can do better than
that, and will do very much better.
The Star reports very cold weather in Griffin
on Monday. The thermometer stood at eighteen
degrees above zero in a warm house, and ice an

Tho Star says one of the cotton men of tho
North recently in Griffin, proposes, if the peo
ple here will raise fifty thousand dollars of stock
to erect tho buildings, ho will subscribed fifty-
thousand dollars to put in tho machinery. This
amount is sufficient to employ fivo thousand
spindles and ono hundred hands.
Tho Monroe Advertiser has the following:
The Weather.—We knew it would happen.
Wo no sooner say something in commendation
of tho weather than a sndden and disagreeable
change comes. Last Friday a stiff nor’wester
blew all day, and it was about as cold as it ever
gets to be. ’ Everything froze up, and thoso
precocious trees that blossomed in honor of the
fourteenth of February are doubtless wilted.
Gardens.—In view of the recent cold snap,
wo bid adieu to English peas and other vegeta
bles that wore unfortunate enough to be up.
Esrly fruit trees may be put in the same cate
gory. The early gardener doesn’t raiso tho
early vegetable—not if the coldest weather of
the season is any drawback.
Travel.—-The passenger trains on the Macon

passengers every trip. Visitors from tho North
aro flocking to Georgia in large numbers, look
ing for opportunities to invest, thus causing
travel to be somewhat livlier than is usual at
this season of the year.

In the case of Respass, Smith & Co., of the
Flint river factory, vs. the Home Insurance
Company, tried in Columbus, Monday, the
plaintiffs dismissed the suit, as the Judge char

Thefact8 of the case were, that the plaintiffs
Lad taken out a policy of insurance for ono hun
dred «»<l thirty-three bales of ootton for one
month, “then stored in a brick warehouse at
Butler.” This cotton was to be moved by the
insured as soon as possible. When the fire took
placo forty-seven bales of this cotton was in the
warehouse and consumed. The cohrt held the
policy of insurance to be “a dose one,” and
ruled that unless the 133 bales of cotton were in
store, when the policy issued,-it was void.
It was not proven that over forty-seven bales
of this cotton were ever in tbe brick warehouse,

Vcuomous Forgiveness.
Under this head, the Chicago Times descan! s
at length upon Butler's bill for the removal of
political disabilities. The Times says:
Tho bill is intended to humiliate applicants
for amnesty. Its places on the records of tho
courts, to remain forever, what is intended to
be testimony against the petitioner and his
memory, and which may be employed as a re
proach against his children and his children’s
children to tho remotest' generation. It makes
the work of obtaining amnesty one of much
vexation and expense. It transfers the pardon
ing power from Congress, where it is lodged by
the third section of the Fourteenth Amend
ment of the Constitution, to judges of district
courts. Applicants for pardon, however re
mote theymay livo from the courts, must ap
pear in person, and if any opposition be made
to their petition, must be at the expense of
bringing witnesses to sustain their statements.
A chief purpose of the bill is to clog amnesty
with conditions so expensive, vexatious and hu->
miliating that but few persons will take advan
tage of it, and thus exclude the best and most
intelligent mon in ihe Southem States from all
participation in the federal and State govern
ments. Under the pretenoo of being an act of
grace and generosity, it exacts from the person
desirous of availing himself of. the benefits of
the bill a confession that he has been criminal
in that in which he may have beon not only
honest, but actuated by pure and unselfish love
of the State and section in behalf of whioh he
took up arms.
Said President LinoolD, in his memorable in
terview with Patton and Dempsey: “The rebel
soldiers ore prayiDg with a great deal more
earnestness, I fear, than onr own troops, and
are expecting God to favor their side. One of
onr soldiers, who had been taken prisoner, told
Senator Wilson a few days ago that he met
nothing so discouraging as the evident since
rity of the men no was among, in their
prayers.” . ,-.j[ ,- - j v.y-'- ■ ‘ :
Most those men be required to brand them
selves as traitors in open court, and leave the
evidence of the fact upon record forever, in
order to obtain the privileges of citizenship
which are conferred upon negroes ?
General Farnsworth has given notice that he
will move, as a substitute for Butler’s bill, that
the politioal disabilities of all citizens be re
moved in all of the States which have ratified
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to
the Constitution. We shall see whether this
measure of deoenoy.can be carried in the House
against the one ot meanness and -malevolence
reported by Butler, and sustained by the dem
agogues and fanatics who acknowledge him as
their leader.
. Scores of negroes who have been hanging
around Washington clamorous for plaoes in
the Executive Departments, are now turning
their attention towards Baltimore, where they
are pressing for positions in the custom house
and postoffice, claiming them as their prerog
ative since the adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment
Pall-Mall Gazette on the Southern
Situation.
Tbe Pall-Mall Gazette in an article upon the
Southern situation says:
Except in the case of the United States, there
has been great uniformity in the history of the
suppression of rebellions in modem times.—
First, there has been severe and often sangui-
nary punishment inflicted on the chiefs of the
revolt; then has suoceeded a period during
which the successful empire has enforced strict
obedience to itself from its subjugated depend
ency; and finally has come a strong desire,
growing sometimesont of policy, sometimes out
of a sense of justice, and sometimes oat of a
more emotion, to win its affeotions, or at all
events its voluntary acquiescence in accomp
lished facts, England is just at present feeling
an almost passionate wish to be reconciled to
Ireland and to be beloved by the natives of In
dia ; Austria has done her best to come to terms
with Hungary, and there are signs that the suf
ferings of Poland are beginning to cause dis
comfort and compunction even in Russia.
The United States seem destined to an expe
rience of a different kind. On the morrow of
the conquest their treatment of the Southern
leaders was marked by a gentleness whioh will
always bo remembered to their honor. But in
the next stage of their relations with the South
the necessity for combining despotic rule with
something like the forms of local self-govern
ment forced them to adopt a policy which has
more than made np for their abstinence from
bloodshed.
Nobody whose intelligence has not been im
paired by tho habit of repeating formulas about
universal suffrage can doubt that the punish
ment inflicted on the Southern Whites is far the
severest which one community has ever inflicted
on another. England governed Ireland through
a minority which the mass of the Oeltio popula
tion, however it might bate, never dreamed ot
despising: the United States rule the South
through a majority of negroes, contempt for
whom was almost a religion with the planter be
fore the attempt at secession.
We should be sorry to lay down that the
United States would havo done well to shed
blood like water in the first moments of triumph,
if only they could have devised some less de'
grading contrivance for the provisional govern
ment of the South. Yet it is quite certain that
bloodshed is easily forgotten; personal outrage
with the greatest difficulty. The Hungarian
nobles appear to have forgiven the Emperor
Fr&nois Joseph for his wholesale executions of
their brethren; but nobody can fail to see that
the “irreoonciliability” of some of the most
emidentof French politicians is greatly due to
the recollections of the personal dishonor to
which they were subjected oa the memorable
morning of the coup d’etat.
We are not considering whether the punish
ment was deserved, or whether the Northern
States could possibly help inflioting it; we
merely say that after the capacity of the negro
for improvement has been rated as highly as
possible, and after all possible, deductions have
been made from the credibility of the atoriea
published by the Democratic press, tbe faot re
mains that government of white men by colored
ex-slaves is the acutest form of moral torture
which has ever been applied to a community.
How unfortunate it has been that the punish
ment of the South has taken this shape, the
United States are not likely to feel until the
time comes (and it will certainly come) when the
people of the North will be animated with the
strongest wish to be reconciled to even the most
obstinate zealots of secession.
At the present moment wc are well aware that
nothing Beems less important to the great ma
jority of the Northern people, than that the ex
periment which thoy are trying in the South
causes excessive disoomfort to a parcel of con-
qdfered rebels; but they will probably hereafter
view this experiment with other eyes, when
there comes the inevitable waking to sympathy
and pity, and when, much about the same time,
it appears that the negroes who are the instru
ments of punishment have become not only a
Southern but a Northern power, weighing heav
ily in the scale whenever a national decision has
to be taken. —
Resumption—How Possible.
Nothing can hasten resumption but the resto
ration of the proper proportion between the
specie in hand and the amount of immediate
demands upon the .banks and the government
The banks in 1837 failed when their specie was
reduced to 13J par cent upon their circulation
and deposits. In 1857 they suspended when
their specie was reduced to 13 per cent; and in
neither case did they resume until by contrac
tion they had so reduced their circulation and
increased their specie that the proportion of the
latter to the former was 33 per cent
'Whatisthe proportion of specie now held?
The governmer'* owes for greenbacks, fraction
al currency, a-4 gold certificates four hundred
and twenty-five millions, and holds ninety-five
millions of gold. The banks owe for their cir
culation three hundred millions, for their depos
its five hundred and seventy-five millions, and
hold about twenty-fivo millions of specie. In all,
the two parties, government and banks, owe thir
teen hundred millions, payable in coin as soon ns
resumption is announced, and have but one hun
dred and twenty millions in gold wherewith to
meet their liabilities—equal to nine and two-
tenths (say,92) per cent If, according to past ex
perience, the requisite proportion of specie must
ie at least 33 per cent, four hundred millions
of gold would be needed. But even that amount
would not secure permanent resumption, which
can only be effected by a contract of the cur
rency to its natural limit
Without such a contraction, resumption never
has tAken placo in this or any other country,
and in the nature of things never can.—From
Government and the Gold Premium, in the
March number of Lippincotc'a Magazine.

r lie Sale of Cadetships—Interesting
- Developments. ' 1 . :
Several witnesses were before the House
Military Committee' to-day, among them E. P.
Brooks (referred to yesterday). From the tes
timony it appears that ten or twelve cadetships
wero sold by Congressmen at prices ranging
from five hundred to two thousand dollars.
Most cf these were cases of members of the last
Congress, but four or fivo of them were sales by
members of tho present Congress.
Mr. Whittemore, of South Carolina, was be
fore the committee to-day to explainhis position.
He says he received two thousand dollars from
Mr. Brooks to be applied to political and educa
tional purposes, but Mr. Whittemore fails to
name the purposes to whioh he applied the funds
he received, although- it is admitted that money
was paid to secure an appointment to a cadet
ship.
The testimony also shows that Mr. Hoge, a
South Carolina member, traded for a cadetship,
but the particulars have not been developed.
Mr. Dewees, of North Carolina, was ap
proached for the sale of a cadetship. He called
on the late E. M. Stanton, ex-Secretary of War,
and advised with him about it, and Mr. Stanton
told him he had better keep out of tho trade; that
it was wrong, and that a cadet appointed in that
way would lose his position if the facts became
known.—■ Washington dispatch to Richmond Dis

Homesick.—Mr. Joseph Powell, Commercial
Agent of the United States at Fort Stanley,
Falkland Islands, writes home as follows:
* “You may be aware that this is the last Bail
ing point next to the South Polo. Beyond this
no vessel ever sails, and human footsteps are
never seen. Ibis perpetual winter—snow every
month in the year. The islands are naked of
tree and bush, and very little soil—high moon-
tains and hills of volcanio rock over nine-tenths
of the surface. Nothing of the grain kind is
raised—no seed-time or harvest. There are no
animals, except wild horses and cattle. Foxes
and rabbits nave been brought here and in
creased—much larger than those in the United
States. No snakes, frogs, fleas, spiders, bed
bugs, or insects of any kind. The wind blows
all the jime—often so strong that you cannot
look out The population, all told, does not
exceed three hundred on all the islands, and are
very poor. This is only a harbor for wrecks. .Ex
penses are very high and living poor—no com
forts of life whatever. Board and lodging, an
nually, $520. I’ll come home the first opportu
nity. I am distant from New York twelve thou
sand miles by sea. My voyage to my post of
duty oeoupied one "hundred and five days. I
am thirty days’ sail from Rio de Janeiro, two
thousand five hundred miles beyond Chill and
Peru, and six hundred miles off Cape Horn.”
The men and women of the present day axe
too busy and restless to raise families. They
have no leisure for it They prefer money to
progeny. The women under the lead of those
uuaexed viragos, Mrs. Stanton and Miss An*
thony, are invading thq sphere of the men and
refuse any longer to perform the peculiar duties
of their sex. They prefer to fill ballot boxes
with votes rather than cradles with babies. The
life of crowded cities is preferred to toe quite
of the country. Everybody. is eager for novel
sensations, money and gewgaws.

about the projected summer and fall car.*
of negro melish in that State. The 1
pondent says:
To the question whether arms komII
generally distributed previous to the tla|
holding the general election next fall, btl
plied that the Legislature had passed u|
providing for the organization of the as
of the State ; and as it was his duty to a
out the provisions of the act, he inten&j
see them executed a-i quickly as possible. I
wished to sec the militia organized utideri
who could be trusted to preserve order i:«
districts at any and all times, whethej
disturbers of the peace were Demoeratsol
"publicans; he desired to see all classes it|
militia, and it made no difference tor
whether a Confederate or Federal commas
them; in fact, it ne :er occurred to him
such a question; alt he wished to knor:
“would he obey and ixeculc the laws." '
Governor mentioned one or two Confedf
officers whom he had either entrusted or I
tended entrusting with militia commands I
In response to the interrogatory: Wef
not the arming of the militia acd their;
ence at the elections tend to provoke al
tuirbance and cause bloodshed? be answ
that he thoughtnot; that the knowledge-
there was a force adequate to check all s
turlmnces would deter the evil-minded
any community from commencing 01 insc
ting a disturbance. “Bat now let me tell,I
sir, said he, “you may rest assured that/
the next election the Republican party*
never go before Congress stating that it;5
ers were intimidated or prevented from w
by Democrats, Ku-Klux ot any organic
whatever. The Republicans want to i
peace and order during the next election,
if possible they will have it. If the De
crats can beat us fairly we will submit:
we will not be driven from the State, a;
propose. We from the North have comi
to stay, and intend to do so. If the
crats choose to practice their" old tricks oft
del- and intimidation, the result will be::
ble to them and to the State.”
The News says, editorially:
These remarks show the biuer p;f : »
which tinges the opinions of Governor &
when he speaks of the probable action ol]
white people, or. as he calls them, tit
mocracy of the State. He assumes h
cmversation printed in another column,
it is natural for our people to bum, slay
destroy, although ho is almost a living
ness of their patience and obedience »'
and it is to be feared that all his fi
professions only mean that a Radical f*
in the style of the traditional “ Heai
win, tails youjosc,’" is to be played, vif
help of the militia, at the fall election;.
The people, whatever Governor ; j
think, demand a fair and free election. J
are opposed to violence and intimidaiK-J
cither party, and if Governor Scott i*
that the militia shall only preserve"
without regard to party, he e.tn eadly
his sincerity by appointing to its torn
responsible and trustworthy men, who«
the confidence and esteem of all
their fellow-citizens.
They • show simply . this: that the
know that the negroes cannot be depfi
upon to support tbe existing regime 0
South,' unless they can adopt some pj
introduce an armed black militia p^, 1
bribe and to-, intimidate them into t
their mill. That’s the philosophy of tie
