laid down by tho President, of a telegraph ker.

tba present enormous official army at the

Bat even this is a small matter, compared
with that of placing the opposition sciidUy out
of the line of communication frith the people
Tho opponents of tho reigning dynasty would
at onoe bo reduced to one of two impossible
alternatives—either they mast forego the tele

which would be a fatal abnegation against a

moat put all their aaereta in the hands of their

Nothing iD the President's Message is mors
significant than the total change of base in re
latios to a general amnesty and a correspond
ing attitude towards tba South. When Grant
and Morton stalled ont West, last summer, on
their first grand re-electioneering round, they
ran a very high and stringent schedule on am
nesty and the Kn-klnx. They took particular
pains to proclaim everywhere that the Radical
parly in general, and they themselves in partic
ular, were inexorably opposed to a general am
nesty. The rebels were unfit for it, and, in
fact, the interests of the country demanded that
they should be plaoed under more stringent re
straints, until they were ready to acknowledge
their crimes and show soma tokens of a sincere
repentance.
The passage of the Kn-klnx bill, forced
through the House by the personal presence and
solicitations of Genera! Grant and the Cabinet
—the raising of the Kn-klnx committees and the
vigorous campaign laid ont for them, followed
by the bitter assaults of Morton aod others on
the atnmp and supplemented by a chorus of
maledictions in tbs Badical press, were univer
sally conceded to strike the key note of the ap
proaching Presidential canvass, and to fore
shadow so violent and proscriptive s campaign
as to raise grave apprehensions for social order
and peace in the Southern Stales.
The attentive reader will readily recall the
frequent expressions of onr own solicitude for
the future, growing ont of this prospect. We
saw then that if the Kn-klnx campaign was
found to strike a responsive popular chord
in the Northern heart, a serious and anxious
time waa before ns next summer. There was
no telling to what a pitch of viol onoe a campaign
might bo pushed in the Southern States, with
Grant and his administration at tbo head of
their black cohorts—organizing and urging them
on to vengeance by indiscriminate and nnspar
tag denunciations of the Southern whiles as
traitors and murderers. The boat to bo hoped
waa that the sensation might miscarry in the
North. The northern people might not respond
with enthusiasm to the proposed levy of moral
war of the defenceless Southern whites. They
might be tired of discord and inclined to peaoe.
If so, Grant would soon diaoover the fact and
try an opposite policy.
Now, tho first clear and indisputable evidence
of tbo complete failure of Grant’s and Morton’s
moral war programme is revealed in the mes
sage. In this document, as has been seen, Grant
all of a sudden hauls down the red flag of warand
hoists the white banner of peaoe and amnesty.
The President, who tamed ont in force with his
whole Cabinet to cram tbo Kn-klnx bill through
the laat hours of Congress, in tbo very first para
graph of this document makes a lame and dis
honorable attempt to throw off all responsibility
for that violent legislation. Ho sets np that he
found the laws on the statute book and could
not inquire into their “wisdom." Nothing
left but to enforce them. Ah, it is easy for any
man to find a thing where he has placed it.
Grant's personal influence passed the Kn-klnx
bill and thia dodge will hardly avail him.
Next, on the same lubjeet, he sets np a plea
of great caution and forbearance in enforcing
these laws—then he comes ont for a removal ol
all politieal disabilities, and even indnlgea in
ratiocination to prove that big leading rebels
are, on the whole, a better class than the little
rebels. Finally, he drops a toar over the un
fortunate condition of the Southern States and
longs for the happy day when the “old citizens
of the Sooth will take an interest in pnhlie af
fairs," and while maintaining their own views,
leave the same liberty to others. In a word,
the transmogrification is complete.
What is tho matter ? Grant and Morion have
discovered that their Kn-klnx cock won't fight,
and they have taken him down. It is not going
‘ to fire tho Northern heart" as they intended U
should. On the contrary, if Grant's re-election
may bo thongbt to be in any dangor at all, the
dinger will arise in great part from the precise
measures they had taken to ensure it. The
moderate EepubUeana have boen taking an «>t
dcrlwid at him, and base their threats to bolt
from his support msinly on the violence, nn-
aonstitutionality, and aggressive and distracting
character of hia Southern policy. If he can torn
their flanks by a new song of dulcet peace and
love for the Southern whites, be is going to do
it, and presto! it is done in thia message.
The whole performance is a strong illostra
tiou of the heartless, mercenary politicians,
who troat all public questions and interests,
however vital to the oountry, only in the light
of their bearing upon his own mere personal
interests. Vie infer from this unexpected sum
mersault ol Grant that the Kn-klnx war in the
Carolines will bo allowed to bum ont with as
little smoke as possible, and that there is no
danger, for the present, of any moro violent and
lawless interference with the affairs of the
Sootbern States by the Administration.

Terrible Times In Boston.
Boston woke up the morning after Thanks
giving with a headache, bad taste in the month,
and a salt-shad thirst about tho gills bora ot
tbs festivities of the day before sad suggestive
of water, either outwardly or inwardly, as the
first thing in order before the matutinal oocktail
and a square breakfast. But, horror of horrors!
there was not a drop to be had! Tho pipes
leading from the reservoir on Chestnnt Bill, had
been allowed to clog np with trash which pre
vented the flow ot the water, and that in the
mains freezing outright, Boston was dry, em
phatically. The commotion was wonderful.
People didn't wash their faces before eating
breakfast—those of them that bad anything bat
oold breakfast to oat—whereat many small boys
greatly rejoioed; topers had to take their morn-
ing nip straight, and the ohaps who had been on
a bender the night before almost had fits; the
kettle couldn’t sing, and consequently there was
no tea nor coffee; milkmen couldn't oome their
little' games as tuna] and were therefore un
commonly huffy; steam couldn’t be generated
in the boilers of tho countless machines in the
various manufacturing establishments of the
city and consequently all work of that descrip
tion was suspended. The situation was really
serious for a time, but after a famine of eight
hours the pipes were cleaned out and the water
flowed again.
We may be permitted to return thanks that
it was Boston, and not Washington daring a ses
sion of Congress, thus afflicted. Fancy the Ut
tar city in such a strait at such a time, and, if
posribU, picture ths Presidential stomach and
fanoes after their accustomed and alternate
drenching and drying with old Boorbon and
Partagas thus forced to realize the direfol dis
tress of those of that other present taker and
millionaire, Dives.

Journal of yesterday was read and approved.
Mr. Vi. D. Anderson moved to reconsider the
action of (he House on yesterday, In passing a
bill to Incorporate the Atlanta and Tennessee
Railroad Company. He wanted the reconsider
ation in j notice to the Marietta and North Geor
gia Railroad Company, which has already been
chartered, and hindered by H. I. Kimball, who
waa a curse to it aa well aa to the country. The
Atlanta and Tennessee Railroad will oovor pretty
much the same lino, and there can certainly bo
no use for both.
Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, opposed tho mo
tion. He was in favor of allowing a charter to
any road proposed to be bnilt witii private sub
scription.
Mr. Jackson also opposed the motion to re-
consider, remarking that the charter asked for
now will complete a chain of railroads through
Kentucky, Tennessoe and Georgia. He waa
willing to charter any road which priT&to per
sons propose to bnild with their own money.
Mr. Pou thought there was no reason why
fair competition between railroads shonld not
be allowed, and waa in favor of granting the
charter asked for. Moreover, $15,000 per mils
State aid has been granted to the road from Ma
rietta, and yet not a lick has been strnck on it;
and refusing this charter might defeat a rood
through that section of ths oountry.

Mr. McMillan moved to reconsider the action
of this House in lsying the report of the com

Mr. Phillips, chairman of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, said that there was
only ono question in tho case, to-wit: Whether
or not the rotes ol persons who had not paid
their poll tax were legal or illegal. He discussed
tho legal points involved, and argued that under
the Constitution the votes mast be held illegal.
Mr. Simmona was opposed to reconsideration
and aaid that although the Constitution requires
that persons shall pay all legal taxes before they
ore entitled to vote, yeti the Legislature de
clared in 1870 that no poll tax shonld be col-
looted, and tax collectors were instructed not to
receive it, and if the non-payment were suffi

to insert $327,984, the amount of poll tax col
lected and the liquor tax ooUected since 1868.
Hr. Putney aaid that a modi larger sum than
the amount proposed waa doe to tbe Educational
fund, and that the interest on $327,084 would
not meet ths demands and pay teachers for ser-
vices already rendered. The passage of tho bill
in the proposed shape, would amount to repu

trary to law, to send an appointment to fill this

William Curtis, st present editor of Harper’s
Weekly, will assume the position of ohief editor
of the New York Times, on the first of January,
Curtis is an able man and as much of a gentle
man as any man with his political principles,
and long association with the Harpers can be,
but we haidly think he can pull the Times ont
of the mack into which the cockney, Jennings,
and hia associate Grant bootlicks have plunged
it. He might os well try and make a gentle
man of Grant, at once.

Dahlonega had her first snow of the season
lost Friday morning. It fell to the depth of
three inches.
Vi. J. Worley, aged thirty-five, and a citizen
of Dahlonega, has never taken a drink of any
description of spiritons, vinous, or molt liquor
in his life, which is wonderful, considering
where he lives, that burg being rather unsound
on the G. T. question.
Somo scoundrel—who was not caught and
gently hung os he deserved—fired into a pas
senger train of the Brunswick k Albany rail
road, as it was entering the former city tat
Wednesday night.
The Brunswick Appeal says:

application on tbe port of tho Governor and
other for an injnetion restraining tbe lien cred
itors of the Brunswick and Alban; Railroad
from selling the property levied on, aaked, on
Wednesday last, to amend their bill by inserting
allegations that s number of the claims upon
which lien executions had been issued were for
work done for H. L Kimball & Co., and not for
the Brunswick and Albany Railroad Company,
and that tha road bod never been'delivered into
the possession of the Company, arid the appoint
ment of a mooter in Chancery to investigate the
claims and report thereon to the Court, at some
future day to whioh tho hearing shonld be con-
tinned. Messrs. Hood, Basinger, Hines and
John L. Harris were heard in favor of the ap
plication, end Messrs. B. F. Harris, Bedford
and Smith contra. His Honor Jndge Sessions
granted the application, and appointed Colonel
John D. Humph, Master in Chancery, and the
second Monday in January next for the hearing.
The Savannah News, of Monday, says a bold
attempt was made last Friday, in that city, to
rob tho Sonthera Express Oompany. While
one of tho wagons of tho company was waiting
in front of the office on Bay street for the freight
for tho Central Railroad, tho driver and messen
ger being inside, somo unknown parties, doubt
less thinking it was already loaded, jumped into
it and drove off unobserved. As soon as the
wagon was missed, tbe police were notified, bat
no trace of it could be found. It was after,
wards driven np near the express stables and a
white man jumped off and harried awuy.
Pike, Spalding and Catoosa counties in

Smith for Governor.
Mr. B. L. Harper, of Henry oonnty, a lay
delegate to the North Georgia Conference, died
suddenly, at Athens, last Saturday night.
The Bev. J. H. Harris, of McDonough, killed
a 15 months’ old pig on the 23rd of November,
which weighed 371 pounds, and yielded 110
pounds of clean lard, and B. V. Veal killed, lost
week, four eighteen months old porkers that
averaged 382 pounds each—all of which shows
that some folks are not in danger of forgetting
how sausage meat tastes.
Ths Griffin Star, of yesterday, says:
A Pabsot Notifies his Mistbess that the
HounooNFrax:—On the morning of the 30th
inst., while Mrs. Able A Wright was galling
dinner, and hearing one of her parrots aay re
peatedly “what’s tbat Miss," she went to the
door, and discovered the wood work around the
fire place burning, and in a few moments more
nothing would have sived it, as she had no one
but a small negro girl to aid her. Going to the
pump, (a Silsby Rotary) and adjusting the hose,
and making the small negro girl tarn, she soon
pat the fire out This is the second time this
mmp has prevented fire on the premises, she
laving saved her kitchen onoe before with it.

The Bbunswick and Alb ant Railboad
Bonds.—Wo had a call yesterday from Mr.
Jacob H. Schiff, ot the large banking house of
Budge, Schiff k Co , of New York. A letter
from Mr. boh iff will be found in another col-
uma. Mr. Schiff’s firm sold over seventeen
hundred thousand dollars of the first mortgage
bonds of the Brunswick and Albany Railroad,
to as many as five hundred different parties in
Europe. He aaya he baa no interest in the mat-
ter beyond desiring to soe good faith kept to
those to whom he sold these securities. He
was employed by Clews k Co., to negotiate
these securities, and their legality was guaran
teed by Clews k Co. He says he negotiated a
million in March, and continued negotiating
small sums in March when he declined having
any thing more to do with them. He says he
does not know Bullock or Kimball. He further
says that, when he sold the first million of tbe
bonds, so stable and sound was Georgia’s credit
and name, that he had application for seven
millions more of them. He does not speak
kindly of Clews k Coo.’ action in the matter.
