Tetsl t tinngr of Bsw—Thr Engine Bc- vrrwd. 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. the and hung him on Lb.; aumc uoe he h<J mwr- dered his victim nndor. * I Brats, ' * in J* 01 ”** were bid went*, as tho mole walked away and left him there.

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.

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. 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 cient a great many Democrats would go out He had at great a contempt for Republicans and their principles as any man, bat he was prepared to do justice.

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 Atlanta Constitution, of yesterday, ys: 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. Taylor Tamer of Atlanta, charged with os- sault upon J. D. Clark with intent to murder, was found guilty, Monday.
