MACON, NOVEMBER 26 1872.
The Synod of Georgia.
This highest ecclesiastical judicatory of the
Presbyterian Ohuroh of Georgia began its an
nual sessions in Albany on Wednesday, the 15th
instant. The opening sermon was preaohed by
Bev. A. W. Olisby, of Thomasville.
Bey. James Staoy, of Newnan, was chosen
Moderator, and Bev. F. Jacobs, D. D., and Bev.
Paul O. Morton appointed Secretaries. An Al
bany correspondent says that little city is alive
with black coats and white cravats, and heca
tombs of chickens, turkeys, etc., have been
slaughtered to provide for their creature com
forts. From the same source we learn that the
religions services under the lead of such men
as Bev. Dra. Irvin, Wilson, Wills, Leftwicb,
Axson, Fraser, Buttolph, and others, have been
deeply interesting.
Able and animated debates had likewise been
elioited upon the question of the endowment of
Oglethorpe University, and the foundation of an
institution after the model of the famous Bugby
school in England, for the education of candi
dates for the ministry. OoL Clarke, of the At
lanta Constitution, a Trustee of Oglethorpe,
spoke warmly in behalf of that University. We
have no further proceedings of the Synod. The

How it all Caste About!—A Washington
dispatch in the Courier-Journal says the Hon.
Montgomery Blair has written an important
letter to the Libeia! Republican Central Club of
Baltimore, pointing out the causes of failure in
the late campaign, and predicting the early tri-
* umph of the liberal cause. He states that he
was early apprised, from an authentic source,
that the money organizations of the country
had concerted a war on Mr. Greeley, and to
ihe'r influence and expenditure of money, and
the failure of the Liberal organs to accept the
issue thus tendered, he ascribes the defeat of
the movement which was in July an acknowl
edged success. He says the Government will
yet be redeemed from the banking, railroad,
credit mobiiier and other parasitical interests,
which were hung on it during the war to absorb
its powers and vitality. These parasitical inter-
ests form the nucleus of the Radical party. Its
essence, therefore. Is a plunder party. We shall
have four more years of plunder, the continued
growth of that miraculons individual wealth
witnessed in the last decade, -esulting from
the perversion of the government to that
ol jeot and a corresponding progin the
centralization of all the powers of govern
ment. Mr. Blair further maintains that the
Liberal party will be consolidated, and that
time only ia wsnttdto compact the opposition
and restore popular government.

Is Liberty Gene In lbe United States?
Evidently OoL John W. Forney Is of that
opinion. In his Philadelphia Press of the 14th
instant, eulogizing President Grant very ex
travagantly in several editorials, and forecasting
a reign of peace nnder his absolute power and
authority to repress ail opposition, the Press
goes on to state the situation of the country
distinctly tn ’he following words:
We So not think Gen. Grant ia any wiser
than Washington, or Adams, or Jefferson, or
any more sagacious than Lincoln; and he
would have to be as weak aa Buchanan, or as
dull as Andrew Johnson, if he did not see
through these transparent artifices. He is today
the possessor of imperial power. He can make
or unmake States and statesmen. Re can
change policies, as he has crushed parties.
That is Mr Forney’s opinion—that President-
Grant is to-day the possessor of imperial pow
er—that be can make and unmake States and
statesmen—and change policies and crush
parties. And this is not the loose and wild talk
of some beardless neophyte and entbnsiast—
but of an old, grey-headed, self possessed and
thoroughly well-informed journalist—the best
posted politician in the country. He thinkB
that Grant now possesses imperial power and
can make and unmake States, parties and poli
ticians at his will!
And has not Forney reason to think so ? He
has himself seen Pennsylvania carried against
the judgment of the people by executive power.
He himself declares that Buckalew was fairly
eleoted by the people, though Hartranft will be
installed Governor by overbearance and fraud.
He has seen the Government push up the reg
istry of Philadelphia to 160,000 and push down
the registry of New York to 140.000. He him
self has seen the Government, by its partisan
representatives, leading off in the North and
West and in some of the Southern States in the
most gigantic and successful violences to Bwell,
unlawfully, their own strength at the polls and
to crush down their opponents; and where they
failed in any degree to accomplish their pur
poses, vindictively pursuing the men who aided
in thwarting them.
All this and much more of the same sort Mr.
Forney sees, and now under the well grounded
conviction that Grant is supe rior to the ballot,
and can control alike Constitution, law and
suffrage, Foney does not hesitate to declare
that his power is absolute, and be can make and
unmake States, p- riles and men at hia pleasure.
And we have in yesterday mrrning’s dis
patches (to be found in this edition) tbe account
of an event in Alabama which confirms Mr.
Forney’s view of the sitnatioD, and which will
fill tbe minds of all intelligent freemen with
dread and alarm. The newly elected Legisla
ture of Alabama is very closely poised between
the? whites and negroes. It has a white majority
of one in the Senate and one or two in the
HcHise. The body convened yesterday, and
among Its duties is the election of a U S. Sen
ator in the plact? of one Spencer, a carpet-bag
S. sutler. Now to illustrate the lengths to
which the Administration is prepared to go in
the assertion of absolute power and irresponsi
bility to law, we read that three of the white
members were put under arrest on Sunday t»y a
U. S marshal, while on their way to the capital,
and that the marshal refused all bail, and
claimed that be had instruc'ions to do so. Thus
we see that the government controls not only
tbe ba’iot, but the State representatives and
Legislatures after they are elected.
On such a showing as this we might well ad
mit that liberty is in a condition of vital sus
pension, if not of dt&*h. But we are very con
fident these violent assaults on the rights and
prerogatives of the people cannot be perma
nently successful. So long a* they are felt
only by. a despised minority, tbe majority are
veiy insensible to their guilt and danger. But
tyranny, in its very nature, expands and grows
nnti), in turc, all classes get within its iron
grip, and when all tbe people heve 1’ arced what
it is to live without tbe protection of law—or
rather, under a total perversion of law and pub-
BMtn Affairs.

Mr, Greeley is the worst beaten candidate who
ever ran for the Presidency. This is a mistake.
Several candidates have received fewer electoral
votes than he will obtain. In 1832 Henry Clay
only had 39 electoral votes. In 1840 Martin
Van Bnren, running for re-election as Presi

Bii’tsb and American Awards.
Washington, November 17.—The mix? d com
mission on British and American.claims have
made an award of $2,490 in gold, in the case of
Franois Impey vs. the United States. It ap
pears the claimant is, and always has been a
subject of Her Britanio Majesty; that in the
late war he adhered to the Federal Govern
ment, or, at worst, remained neutral; that in
November, 1862, he wbb, as alleged, arbitrarily
and without cause arrested by the offioers and
soldiers of the United S ates and imprisoned in
several places, snooessively being oomplled, a
portion of the time, to chop wood and make
fires for the soldiers. Then he was removed to
St. Joseph, Mo, and imprisoned in tbe oonnty
jail for about thirty days—three weeks in the
oommon cells and afterward in the sheriff’s
apartment—and a portion of that time was re
quired to work on the fortifications.
Owing to his imprisonment, hia wife and
ehildran were unoared for and expopel to the
dangers incident to the exposed condition of
tbe'conntry. His practioe, as & physician, was
interrupted and impaired, and his health in-
jured by confinement and the fi’thy condition
of tbe cells—bis good standing as a neighbor
so tarnished that he was compelled to leave the
country and remain away until the close of the
war, whereby his farm was nncultivated and
neglected—three hundred and twenty acres of
it sold for a small portion of its real valne to
satisfy a debt that he might otherwise have
paid, had he remained at home, and his orchard
and fenoes and muoh of his other property
were wasted and destroyed, and two of his
horses taken and never returned to him.
The Commission awarded $643 in the osbo of
James Maroher against the United States. He
claimed $2,000—the valneof garden vegetables,
hay, eto.—one horse taken for the use of the
army of the United States.
The Commission allowed $725 in the ease of
Jas. Stott against the United States. This was
a claim based upon the arrest of the claimant
by United States authorities on tbe groundless
charge of desertion from the lat Rhode Island
Cavalry.
There was a good deal of diplomatic corres
pondence on the subject of Stott first, bnt the
only compensation received by him was $20—
this sum being the pay of a soldier for the pe
riod of his imprisonment. There is no donbt
the claimant was a British snbjeet, and the
wrongful arrest is acknowleded by the United
StateB Government through the action of the
War Department on tbe part of Stott.
The Commissioner disallowed the claim of
Bobt Davidson, who was a carpenter and bnild-
or and sold the wood work for a battery, to a
Mr. Leeds. It was not proved whether or not
the battfry was oompleted for use, or, if so,
whether it actually went into the Confederate
service. The United States officer took posses
sion of the same and gave a receipt for the
same, as in all othtr cases of appropriation of
private property to thense of the United States.
The counsel of Her Majesty took the ground
that it was not the intention of the claimant to
take sides, but to gain a livelihood, and the
subjects of a neutral State have the right to sell
arms or other munitions of war toeitbor or both
belligerents, without violation of their neutral
ity or compromising themselves.
Tie Commissioner di-allow d the following
cases: Joseph B. Heycock, Frederick W. Bug
gies, Simuel Ryerson, et al., owners of the
l rig Napier and cargo—all these were ship
cases. The ground for disallowing them, was
on aoconnt of failure to appeal from the court
below to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The Austrian Exhibition.
Many inventors of the United States have ex
pressed their relnctance to contribute to the
Vienna exposition, for the reaRon tbat, owing
to the stringent character of the pa ent laws of
Austria, American patentees would have no
remedy against the appropriation of their im
provements by persons of other nationalities,
without compensation.
In order to oveicome this difficulty, our gov
ernment yesterday prepared the project of a
treaty or convention between the Uuited States
and Austria, in order to secure in that country
the right of American inventors to the same ex
tent that Austrian inventors are protected in
our own country.
It is intended to lay this proposition before
tbe Austrian Government at the earliest practi
cable period, and the telegraph may be used to
'aoilitate the negotiation.
Shonld this measure be consnmmattd. onr
Gov’ ? nmeut will propose to the various r ations
of Europe that some international arrangement
be made to senre the rights of inventors of the
respective countries nnder similar circam-
stances. i
