Wbcndl4 Military Government Ter-
mlimtc in Georgia?
Governor Bollock, on the 18th insti, sent a
message to the Georgia Legislature, •which was
designed to convey the idea that the State of
Georgia is not yet fairly in the Union, bnt has
hanging over her a remnant of the Reconstruc
tion Acts of Congress by which Gen. Terry still
has some power of supervision of onr civil
affairs. The Governor declares that the “actual
admission of Senators and Representatives is
made a condition precedent to the abrogation
of military authority.”
. Matters press so upon the minds of people in
these latter days that even officials forget events.
We wish to refresh the Governor’s memory a
little, as to some historical facts since his ad
ministration began, 03 well 03 upon the con
structions that have been placedheretofore upon
this very section, from which he make3 a so-
called extract and draws his deductions there
from:
1 Section C of the Reconstruction Act of March
2, 18C7, provides as follows: “That until the
people of said rebel States shall be, by law, ad
mitted to representation in the Congress of the
United States, any civil government which may
exist therein shall be deemed provisional only,
and in all respects subject to the paramount
authority of the United States at any time to
tibolish, modify, control or supersede the same."
'Section 5, of the same act from which the
Governor draws his extract, provides “that af
ter approval, etc., by Congress of the conditions
precedent, said State shall be declared entitled
to representation in Congress, and Senators and
Representatives shall be admitted therefrom,
on their taking the oaths prescribed by law,
and then and thereafter the preceding sections
of this act shall be inoperative in said State.”
In Section 5, Supplemental Act, March 23d,
1867, occurs these words: “And when the said
Constitution shall be approved by Congress the
State shall he declared entitled to representa
tion, and Senators and Representatives shall be
admitted therefrom as provided.”
Above we have the whole of said actsbearing
upon the question at present under discussion.
We assert that by the terms of the above act,
to relieve the State from military authority un
der said acts, it was only necessary that Con
gress “should declare the State entitled to rep
resentation,” and that the seating of members
Is not necessary. If that is necessary then the
seating of all Representatives and the Senators
would have had to take place before the military
could abandon their powers under the Recon
struction acts. Now for some history that has
escaped the Governor’s attention:
July 23d, 18CS, General Meade then com
manding the Third District of Georgia, issued
the following order, “That the Legislature of
Georgia, having complied with acts of Con
gress, the commanding General orders that civil
officers holding by military authority shall yield
their offices and turn over to their qualified suc
cessors all public property, archives, etc., and
the military most abstain from interference or
control over civil authority; that writs of ha
beas corpus must be respectfully obeyed and
decisions conformed to,” etc., etc.
• July 21st, General Meade had ordered a sus
pension of the trial by military commission of
the parties on trial charged with the murder of
Ashbum.
** On 25th of July, Gove, Clift, Edwards and
Prince were admitted to the House. On the
27tb, Tift and Young—Christy never wasadmit-
* ied. No Senators were admitted.
i On 28th of July, 1868, the following order
jwas issued from the War Department.
'. “It having been officially reported that Ar
kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louis
iana, GEORGIA, Alabama and Florida have
Complied with the reconstruction acts including
the act of Jnne 25th, 1868, and that conseqent-
iy so much of the act of March 2d, 1867, ondall
acts supplimentary thereto, providing for mili
tary districts subject to the millitary authority
Of the United States as therein provided have
become inoperative in the said States, and the
*Commanding General has ceased to exercise
the military powers conferred by said acts,"there
fore, etc,” and goes ontoestablishdepartments.
: On the 30th of July, 1868, Geu. Sibley issued
the following order in obedience to a command
of Gen. Meade: “That military anthority under
jthe act of Congress, and the supplementaries
thereto, known as the “Reconstruction Act,
hereby terminates in the State of Georgia, des
ignated as the sab-district of Georgia, and every
thing appertaining to the Government of said
State, is transferred to the proper civil officers.
In future no officer in this command will in any
jway interfere with the execution of the civil
law or exercise, or attempt to exercise control
over the civil authorities of this State, on per-
•eons and property of the citizens.”
; This is the history of onr first admission into
the Union. But we had to undergo a now trial.
In December, 18C9, the Re-reconstrnction Act
was passed, and by order of Gen. Sherman, we
went back to the provisional condition under
•those same old Reconstruction Acts, and Gen.
Terry was ordered to take charge of the sub-dis-
;trict of Georgia. But in its closing hours of last
^session, Congress enacts: “The State of Geor
gia having complied with the Reconstruction
cActs, the 14th and 15th articles of amendments
to the Constitution of the United States having
been ratified in good faith by a legal Legisla-
;ture of said State, it is hereby declared that the
-State of Georgia is entitled to representation in
jibe Congress of tho United States.” -
t-’ Under that bill we went into tho Union as itf
I July, 1868, and the State of Georgia resamed
'her Sovereignty free from all military restraints
'or power of the United States, over her under
’the Reconstruction Acls. ;
We do Sot beliovo Gen. Terry thinks himself
/fclothed with any powers whatever under those
facts, at present, and we suppose he only awaits
orders to go to Louisvillo to command the. De
partment of the South. . ... *
i; The orders we have quoted were iesued.wheh
-the President was General of the Armies of the
-United States, and if any power is assumed over
*«ivil matters, in Georgia we ato sure it will’ bo
^rebuked from Headquarters. If the government
(Ojf. th6 United States, civil and military, in i_8C$,
(had any sense, our conclusion is obliged to be ad-
'milted. G •’ wiiv/T ;

The diminutive Kingdom of Belgium, which,
like virtuous women, is bnt seldom spoken of,
is suddenly attracting a groat deal of attention,
because England shows a disposition to make
the violation of'Belgian neutrality a casus belli.
A brief note on 'tkis-intcresting little country
will therefore bo welcome to onr readers. Bel
gium is sitnatedietyreen tho Northwest part
of Franco and Holland, Germany, and the
North Sea. Her area is 7,274,000 acres, her
population amounting to abont 4,600,000 sonls.
The country is divided into nine provinces,
with Brussels as the capital. In the higher cir
cles, and in all public proceedings, tho French
language is used, while the Flemish is only to
be found among the lower ranks of life. The
land is fertile and under the best cultivation.
Large farms are rare, the sub-divisions of the
soil having been carried down to garden size.
A great attention is paid to the cultivation of
flax. The industry of Belgium competes suc
cessfully with France, England, and the Ger
man Zollvorein in the European markets. The
laces of Brussels and Mechlin, the linens and
damasks of Cambray, the woollens of Ypres,
and the fire-arms of Liege are famous over the
world.
Belgian independence dates from 1830, at
which time it was separated from the kingdom
of the Netherlands. The Duke of Burgundy,
Austria, Spain and France have alternately
ruled over Belgium. From the grasp of tho
first Empire she passed, after the battle of
Waterloo, into the possession of the allied
Princes, who conferred tho territory and title of
King of the Netherlands upon William Frederic,
of Onrnge Nassau. But the antagonism be
tween the Flemish and Dutch being too great,
the Belgians seceded in 1830 and elected Prince
Leopold, of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, as their King.
Holland made war upon the new kingdom and
appealed to the Great Powers. A Congress as
sembled in London which, finally, yielding to
the force of circumstances, acknowledged tho
independence of Belgium January 20, 1831.—
The Great Powers undertook to guarantee the
neutrality of the new State.
The Belgian Constitution is one of tho mo3t
liberal fabrics of onr times. There is perfect
liberty of the press. The liberal party which
has been in power for the last thirteen years,
has greatly promoted elementary education and
the establishment of public institutions for ad
vancing sciences and art?.
The late ministry Frero being only supported
by a minority in the Chamber, when the re-elec
tion for ono half of the deputies was held, ten
dered its resignation, and, to credit the Belgian
papers, King Leopold II will try to govern for
a while with a clerical ministry.
Belginm is a stronghold of the Roman Catho
lic Church. Ecclesiastical conflicls occur fre
quently, and remind ns sometimes of the dark
est period of the middle agss.
In Brussels there are preparations going on
for a religions festival in memory of a horrible
act of fanaticism, which would do honor to the
gloomy records of tho Holy Spanish Inquisition.
Five hundred years ago a great many Jews were
accused of having stolen a number of wafers of
Christ. They were forced by the torture to
make a confession, and suffered the death of
fire at the stake. Now the memory of this bar
barous deed is to bo celebrated by a religions
festival, and the papers are vehemently discus
sing the question whether and how far the civil
authorities by mnsic bands, etc., are to take
part in that humane festival •
Really, any man imbued with the principles
of modem civilization cannot help from mb-,
bing his eyes to make sure that he is not dream-!
ing. It is true such an edifying spectacle, :
which would make the Duke of Alva chuckle
with joy, does not occur in Belginm every day.:
The never-ceasing conflict of the Belgian
press about orthodox graveyards, clerical pre
tensions and benevolent institutions, is often
discussed in a language which sounds to the read
er’s ear like a reminescence of times long gone,
by. The Belgians trouble themselves with diffi
culties and problems, which other nations,'
less favored, have long overcome. Jarno.
Kadicnl “Equality.” .
The Radicals are constantly mouthing about
equality, equality, equality. This is one of their'
favorite watchwords. Now, equality is one thing
and a fanatic partiality is another thing. The
difference between the two is illustrated by the
conduct of thatpaTty towards tho negro and the
foreigner. The negro, although upon their own
evidence ho had beerwkept while a slave in the
most degrading and immoral condition, was ad-
mittedat one's to the right of suffrage. But
when they come to the foreigner they require
him to wait five years on trial and then present
a certificate of his moral conduct before they
grant him the same right. The most brutal
and ignorant negro can vote at once, bat the
most educated and refined foreigner mnat wait
five years and then prove his character. And
such is Radical “equality.”— Courier Journal.

.Tho Chronicle & Sentinel says :
Wo have met and conversed, withing tho past
few days, with several leading planters in South
western Georgia, and they all concur in the state
ment that tho prospect there is at this time
very unfavorable. Our own limited observa
tions in Middle Georgia brings us to the same
conclusion. It is true, that in tho region im
mediately around Augusta, both in Carolina
and this State, the crop is, so far as tho weed
is concerned, very good. Tho continued rains
daring tho .month of May, acting npon crops
which had been very generally highly fertilized,
stimulated a very rapid growth of the plant,
and on many places the plant is as large, if not
larger, than it was at this time last year. Bnt
this, wo believe, is cot the condition of the crop
generally.

Late corn, unless it gets rain in n few days, is
ruined. Cotton, considering tho fertilizers
used, is small, and on many farms is yellow and
fired, and shedding in consequence of the dry,
hot weather, and the deep ploughing and injury
to tho roots caused in taking away old, long-
established grass. Tho dry weather had enabled
farmers to kill this grass. Bat to do this the
weed has been injured, and jostled about, and
retarded in its growth. Had the rains contin
ued, a large number of plantations would have
resembled some of those. grassy fields which,
perhaps, yon have noticed about three miles
from yonr town on the Waynesboro’ Railroad,

The Newnan Defender has a very temperate
and sensible article on the organization of the mil

show its animus.
The greatest evil that could befall Georgia at
this juncture would be the orgariizatiomof her
militia. This is not a peace policy. _ It would,
we apprehend, result in fearful disquiet through
out our borders. Representatives of every po
litical complexion should, if they value tho
happiness of Georgians and the prosperity of
Georgia,, avoid this dangerous project. Tho.
time has come when every citizen should earn-,
estly desire and labor for tho restoration of per
fect peace and a feeling of good will among onr
people, of whatever party or color. This mi-
itia movement smack3 of prejudice, passion,
and a war of races. Let it not be triumphant.
Kill its hydra head promptly, and let all, whether
white or colored, Democrats* Conservatives, or
Republicans,, illustrate the glory and bliss of
peace. . -
The colored people who seem anxious to or
ganize the militia for their protectiori are cer
tainly erroniously impressed. Instead- of real
izing safety from this source tjiere is danger of
cultivating a prejudice agriut 'them which in its
culmination must prove terribly ruinous to their
race. They ought to be protected against every
wrong and violence; bnt protection would not
be realized from the organization of the militia.

Prehistoric America.
The New York World of Monday prints a let
ter from the renowned Abbe Brasseur do ,Bour-
bonrg, of Paris, to Professor Harper, of Brus
sels, with an introductory letter from Professor
Harper, transmitting the letter to the World,
all of which contain the astounding announce
ments of positive proof discovered by the re
searches of the learned Abbe in Mexico und Cen
tral America, that the languages, civilization,
arts and sciences of Egypt, India, and Persia,
as well as of Earope and Africa^ proceed entirely
and without exception, from America, had owe
their inception to prehistoric races which existed
and flourished on this continent about 10,500
years before onr Christian Era. Professor Har
per says the Abbe has not only laid the founda
tion to all Amerioan, bnt to all the history of
this world; and perfectly upset all the labors
and profound studies of tile historians of the
Eastern continent of all timeB by irrefutably
showing that history perfectly agrees with an
old tenet of geology, and tha't not the Eastern
bnt the Western continent of our globe, or
America, is the real old world, from which all
population and civilization proceeded.
The indefatigable American historian is now
engaged to write his principal work, a transla
tion of the Codex Chimalpopoca discovered by
him, and containing annals commencing as early
as 10,500 years before our Christian era, which
will astonish the world
The Abbe’s studies of the monumental an
tiquities of Mexico and Central America com
menced in those countries in 1848, and have
been steadily pursued ever since. They have
resulted in the production of a series of work3
upon the sacred books, records, myths, symbols,
languages,(and hieroglyphics of the aboriginees,
combined with the geological condition of those
countries, by which he proves them to have
been the cradle of the human race. As the
newspapers say—“important if- trUe.”
Election Next Fall.
The Agency is evidently trying to muster
courage'to declare that the people shall hold no
elections this Fall. Farrow, Whiteley, Aker-
man, General Grant* and every man who has a
view to, or a hope for, tho fiitnre, protest
against it. Farrow, inbis address to the Agency,
tells them such a course would justly consign
their party to the depths of rain and popular
disgrace. They know that the administration
takes the same view, and yet a caucus of the
Radicals in the Agency determined -to defeat
the election, and Tweedy brought forward a set
of. resolutions to that end on Wednesday. Bul
lock and Blodgett are thus taking issue with the
administration at the imminent risk of being
thrown fiat on their backs. Conscious that all
they have to make they most make now,, they
sayr “After us the deluge." We will hold on
at all risks, and let c ‘Republicanism in Geor
gia” go to perdition. The ignorant and silly
creatures, white and black, under the Control of
Blodgett & Co., in the Agency, are led by the
nose against the advice of every man of intel
ligence and character in .the party.'; The people
of Georgia have no objection rthat these des
perate creatures should fully.exppse their true
character to the world. They will be defeated
and crushed in this new scheme to defraud the
State.. ■ i-gai
“Down willi Napoleon.” :
The London papers say that Germany makes
the dethronement of Napoleon the ultimatum,
of the war. Bismarck may. perhaps count upon
another holy alliance against the Bonaparts;
bnt the doctrine of “divine right” will be a
feebler rallying cry than’ it' was' in 1815. ’ On
the other hand, suppose Napoleon raises the
.cry of- “Down with Lager”—wine against beer
—the Latins against the Saxons. - Does it not
look somewhat, like a war of races? "Napoleon
lias often put himself forward as the champion
of the Latin race. The Americans have a con
siderable cross of Latin in their composition,
and this may account for the divided, uncertain
flow of the sympathetic current in their veins.
People complain that i they find themselves on
.both sides in the course of the same day. Is
it the Wine vs. Lager? Saxon blood fighting
the Latin? Who can tell? But the Saxons,'it
most be confessed; have'Napoleon at some dis
advantage in this fight. If they only worst
him—only let him down without. glory—they
ruin him; whereas, if they get'Off with no sig
nal, disastrous loss, they are all right.
American Sympathy Again.
■ If your correspondent “Jamo,” will carefully
read Grafton’s article of Wednesday morning
ho will see that hpt a word was said about Ger
mans in the Southern. armies; There, were
plenty of them and splendid soldiers they .were,
too. They know they met regiments and.eorps
of their countrymen on almost every battle
field under the standard of the Yankees.
Did they meet any French?, .Perhaps here

the South from'the role of Puritan New Eng

America from “perfide Albion.” . They fought
for us but they did not fight for the Yankees.

But no one feels warmer gratitude for the
gallant few who manfully stood by us during
our war than the writer. I wish (hare had been
a hundred thousand more. And lest I may be
misunderstood by some of these fellow-citizens,
I wish to state that I have great respect for all
among us, and hope many more will come.
My object, however, was not so much to show
how we have been opposed by Germans in our
wars, as to remind the people of the South of tho
debt of gratitude they owe the Frenob. It is
unnecessary to recapitulate the deeds of hero

Tbe Agency ^ Tweedy’s Besolntion
Outside of telegraphio accounts published
yesterday, we see nothing to copy in the record
of Agency proceedings of Wednesday, except
the following full length development of Twee
dy’s resolution. See how faint-hearted the
Rads are in this business! The starch is taken
out of them. We hear no more abont dupli
cating, their terms of office and dating anew
from the timARepresantativcsand Senators are
admitted to Congress! Oh no! They have
dropped that ! and the Hon. Senator Twittery
Tweedledoe Tweedy comes forward, instead,
with the proposition “that no election shall be
held in Georgia until after the final action of
Congress, folly recognizing the accomplishment
of the reconstruction of Georgia by the admis
sion of her Senators and Representatives to
their seats."
- Well,’ Twittoty, who is' to soy when, after etc. ?
The State Constitution, which Congress has de
dared to bo in force, soys next November T Why
don’t you say when? Ah, Twittery, you have
not the nerve; but you rest your hope that hav
ing once passed the constitutional time for elec
tion, then nothing will remain bnt to Wait till it
rolls around again, and this will accomplish for
yon what you dare not now claim. But, friend
Twittery,usurpations, f rands and coup d’etats are
not ordinarily accomplished in that timid way.
If you can’t pluck up the courage to strike the
blow boldly and dare the consequences, your
usurpation will fail and you will but come to de
feat and shame.
The following is Twittery’ri resolutions :
Whereas, By an act of CoDgress approved
July 15th, 1870. Georgia has been declared
entitled to representation in Congress. And
whereas, ; | • •
Senators ; and Representatives have nob yet
been admitted, and until such admission, any
oivii government in the State is subject to the
paramount authority of the United States. And
whereas,
The military orders assigning Major General
Terry to the command of the Military District
of Georgia, under tho reconstruction laws, have
not been revoked. We therefore deem it inex
pedient and improper that any legislation by
the General Assembly, or any action' by the
people of Georgia, should be had or done by
which any impediment might be placed in the
way of the immediate admission of her Sena-
tors and Representatives''to seats in their re
spective houses, upon the assembling of Con
gress in December next. Be it therefore Re
solved by the Senate and Home of Representa
tives in General Assembly met:
1st. That no elections shall be held in Geor
gia until after the final action of Congress,
tally recognizing the accomplishmsnt of the
reconstruction-of Georgia, by tho admission of
her Senators and Representatives to their seats.
2d. Be it further resolved, That the General
Assombly repeal all election laws prescribed in
Irwin’s Revised Code not adapted to onr present
State Constitution, and proceed to the enact
ment of others in their stead' suitable to onr
present form of government.
3d.' Be it farther resolvefl, That the General
Assembly do now proceed to the general legis
lation demanded by the wants of our State and
the recommendations Of onr constituents.

A Glowing Picture of Soldiering on

tending forces in Europe. See what a picture
it draws of soldiering on the Rhine, Com
pared with the reality daring the late disturb
ance in’this country, it certainly is as cham
pagne to meal coffee. We shfill be really sorry
though, for both the Prussians and the-Freiieb,
if the' Courier-Journal’s picture sends down
upon their campa and conntries any of the
bummers, quartermasters, sutlers and, tamp
followers whose prowess lifted the American
name .so high among.the nations of the earth.
