€bf tlrt-HSrrklp Star. erlflte, 6a., May 13th, 4886. awfThe lovih of a pur* and patriot- Davia’ Sjllloqoy.” y 'The man whooan read it without a scut eye and a chok ing in hie throat, is possessed of an un enviable stoici-m. An old “mutton-head editor," of the last century, who is now playing the role of antiquatus redivivus in the news paper line at Macon, after appropria ting one of the choieest gems of Amer ican litdhature (f) from our columns, seeks to quality his larceny by stating that it is frets an “up country paper." For shame, old granny— for shame l *©“Our telegraphie news to-day is somewhat ambiguous. In fact we be* here the afiociated press dispatches are generally madonna blind as possible.— Enough, however, can be gathered from their dispatches to confirm our worst I -tlio r.i l.cal programme 40 being the disfran, of the Southern people till after the, Presidential election. The bill has passed feo llouso, and will pass the Senate, the veto comes nest in order, which will be overrnlod. We rather like this style, for we liko pla’n dealing. We wish, in fact, that Congress, in addition to disfranchising thowhites, would enfranchise tho blacks, for this would only hasten “tlio begin ning of tho end." What next f Ol’r Atlanta cotemporaries seem to have been in exstacies over a “female woman" called Lieutenant Buford, late C. S. A., who has recently paid thorn a visit, with a view, os we suppose, of se curing their influence in giving circula tion to her new book of adventures as a Confederate officer. Now, we have but a word to soy upon the subject, and that is this : wo object to Southern journals publishing anything that shall have a tendency to cast ridicule upon a cause to which we devoted some of tho best years of our ljfe. Whilo the Southern people have little left of their former independence they can at least preserve their dignity. It ie woll enough for the Yankees to havo their she heroes— several specimens of which the late war has developed—witness the very fasci nating svrgeoifim who was captured on the Dalton line, and others wo might mention. For oar side, we think Belle Boyd should suffice. She was the toast of ardent young boohs of the Confeder ate “persuasion" for some time, and yet we now find her to be tho wife of a Fed; oral Lieutenant, from whom sho has sep arated on thaground of uncongeniality. We are not at this. We don’t think she is “congenial,” whatever may be the status of the Lieutenant. We had the good or bad fortune of a glimpse of this new aspirant for celeb rity or literary honors, and think that tkopuffatorial general of a certain daily must have had mud on his specks when he pronounced her beautiful. When we saw her, she was dressed neatly enough with one exception—her talma was dccoratod with large sixod brass 'buttons with the Confederate arms thereon, whilo tho general tout ensemble was decidedly sensational, ner lan guage was coarse and unseemly ; about evory fourth word was “Yankee,” with an expletive; her face Was bold, dishy and devoid of modesty. In short, she showed plainly that she is an unaexed woman—seeking notoriety and possibly dreaming of money to be coined out of her new book. We know that all such enterprises as hers tend to degrade the sex and reflect ridiculo upon tho coun ty- yTns Timm.—While many pcoplo fourth and South, are sweating and fuming over the condition of the coun try, wo have a vorySfew suggestions to make, which may not bo acceptable to all our whioh nevertheless have honesty. We do not propose iivthis articlo to discuss or to criticise the illiberal* and disingenuous i course of the party ih power at Wash ington. The jrholo jtfess of the South k teeming with discretions upon this (Ajoot, and we can truly say that a half has not boon said ; but our re marks are intended simply to' apply to our|people their positiop and duties. One year ago the Confederacy eeasod to ex ist through tho force of superior num bers and moans. With its death sank the hopes of the great Southern people. The surrender of our armies sounded the death knell to African slavery and States’ sovereignty. This was acknowl edged by all Southern men of intelli gence. Even Joe Brown, who has been accused of disloyalty to the Confedera cy, has often proclaimed that the final .defeat of the Confederate army would be the death knell of State rights and •lavery. It was so reoogniaed and un fr’oldably accepted. Yet we find our I n w *P*wegs and prominent men, bow clamoring r igh»s as m sovereign Mato. ous mole djeroua ; not even the maudlin howls of Wcontrolling spirits at the seat of These latter retain their vitality in a great measure through this useless op position set up at the South through the public press, and we confess that we are not entirely guiltless ourselves.— Ws have now, however, biased out a new road, which we intend to travel for a while at least. We intend to cease discoursing upon the trickery, rascali ty, duplicity and cowardice of the ma jority in Congress, and tdrn our atten tion entirely to matters of general and useful information to onr own Southern people, giving of dSbrse the Washing ton news as correctly and promptly as? possible—make the beat we can of our servile position, and be thankful it is no worse. After all, perhaps one Mon-y archy is not much worse than another*] and the inquisition of fiftoen at Wash- / ington is perhaps as humane q Monarch" as we deserve for not whipping the fight or dying in the ditches. We think that mach barm may ensue from n con tinual agitation in regard to measures we jp-e powerless to prevent. We are satisfie<rfur Northern friends, “so-call ed,” are doing us much more harm than good. They but serve to odd fuel to the flame of discord, and ire do not even credit them with pure motives. They paint the radicals even worse than they ■ are, and their past hypocriey towards us, is but an earnest of what they will . do in the future. For our part, we are in favor of letting tho radicals “play oat” their band. Their nigger bureau, nigger school inarms, and other nigger isms, will soon terownate in an utter abandonment of th<3w Utopian schemes, or else will result in a war of races, which will utterly exterminate the infe rior one. Whilo we should greatly de plore tho latter, wc have lived too long in an atmosphere of blood, to pale at the prospect. At all events, we are sat isfied of tho uttor inability of expostu lations. Our voice is not heard where it should be heard to effect needed re form, and our tirades against Northern politicians and radical measures, but reaot upon us to our injury. Our van quishment on tho field of battle, bars us freni any rights. We shall got none ex cept what tho oonquerors concede thro’ self-interest. Our influence and materi al strength is invaluable to the general government. In foot they must havo it. JU- remains alone to us to give it in ex change for equal rights ip tho Union.— We can and ought to refuse it, till that _is conceded. We trust no. respectable * number will be found who are base enough to barter those for a mw-repre-, Rpnthtion' in Congress. Having then settied down upon this dignified posi tion, the Was said by way of aggravating bitter better. \ National Express —This new %ntej-prisc has commenced operations under very flattering auspices. Its ex ceeding popularity is not to be wonder ed at, when we consider its objects, and tho character of its officers and employ ees. It has had a good deal of difficulty in obtaining requisite railroad facilities, but these obstacles are being rapidly re moved, and the Company will very soon have complete lines over all the public thoroughfares. The benefits of this in stitution, to the public, will be immeas urable; besides giving employment to numerous worthy young men whom the war has left in a dependent condition. We recently witnessed a grand t«m out of the “field transportation” of this Company, in Atlanta. It consisted of two four-horse, two two-horse, and two ono-horee chariots, we Nkuld call them, but the Express men call them wagons. The horses were as fine as wc ever saw, and all their appointments were elegant and substantial. There seems to be no lack of capital,, and it needs no prophet to predict a brilliant success and a ca reer of usefulness for this institution. We are ihformed by the Superintend ent, Col. Woodward, that an Agency will soon be established in Griffin, which will deliver freight in any part of the city, free of charge, except the usual railroad charges. Col. W., has been long known as an express man of rare ability ; and with him is associated Col, A. M. Wallace, as Assistant Superin tendent. The names of these two gens tlcmen are ample guarantee of the effi ciency of the National Express in this section of country. Erin P. 0., Ga., May 10,1866. Dear Star : We hove rain “world without end.” Wheat has rust, at least on the blades. Crops ‘fepntr up" for want of work ; a poor stand of cotton, for want of good seed and sunshine; “general green" about to. take this country. Starvation now faces ns in all its hideousnoss. As the Era does not seem disposed to explain why we are cursed with such weather, I am looking to the Slur for an explanation, as from its locality it ought to know something about th» heavenly arrangements; W. “Where there’s a Will there’s a Way.” Ono of our exchanges notes the marriage-of H. M. Will to Miss Ida G. Way. The result will be—a wag of her own. thrust upon the oountry by the radicals itvyviolation of the fundamental law, ad&lf adhered to, will deprive the pres ent generation faffin all participation in Federal legislation. However honestly and sealously Union men stay have op posed secession, and deplored the action of the Southern States in severing their connection With the Federal Union, there are bat few who can take the teat oath, which was really designed to ex clude the South from representation for many years to oome—whilst thousands of the patriotic cititens of Georgia hon estly labored to prevent the State from seceding; after Georgig.had linked her destiny with her Southern sisters,, and war had acfefllycommenced, but of ffer sons failed in some VafatWnd the South jn her straggle for llpwfpcndcnce. They felt that they ow. je3 allegiance to the State that gave them *birth, and a right or wrong, they would, “Seiko for their titan and ibetr Arm, Strike for tho green gram of thair liree— God and their native Stole." Some, it is true, honestly opposed the war, from its commeucemontto its termination : and ntW« »c«ialfcftrte.i “the stars and the bars,” arwl fillied under the “stars and stripes but du ring the two first years of the war, when the qhout of Southern victories echoed from.the plains of Msnassas and else where, very few can be found who did ■ not rejoice an the Humph of Southern ' aqns, and contribute in some way to perpetuate the struggle. Some were cantlidßbs for office, others contributed in money to purcpKe uniforms for the soldiers : others edited or owned seces sion wrote congratulatory editorials, or act- - od as committee-men to distribute funds to soldiers’ families—all of which is in violation of the lotter and spirit of the test oath, and operates as an exclusion from any Foderal office. We are aware that many believe that if they were con scientious Union men, and did not vol untarily go into the servioe of the Con federate States, that they may with pro priety take the test oath ; out if they will examine it closely, they will find, we think, that they aro mistaken. * But we did not design to discuss the question as to who may or may not take the oath, but to call attention briefly to its unconstitutionality. Judge Story, one of the most'eminent jurists in the whole dfiuntry, in bis commenta ries on tho constitution, declares : “It would seem but fair reasoning up on the plainest principles of interpre tation, that when the constitution es tablished certain qualifications as neces sary to office, it meant to exclude all nthflra- From tho Tory nnturri’bf -Such a provision, the affirmation of these qualifications would seem to imply a negative of all others.” If Judge Story has takon a correet view of the subject, and has faithfully expounded the fundamental law, thon it is incompctent'f .r Congress to prescribe any other test than thoiffi prescribed by the constitution itself; and therefore tho test oath is in violation of the ore ganie law. It is true that each House has tlffc. right to judge of the election and qualification of ija own members— that is, each has the right to enquire whether or not the mombers elect have reached the age prescribed by the con stitution, whether they aro citiiens of the States which they propose to repre sent, and have been elected as prescrib ed by tbe Federal and State eonstitu tutions, and to determine all questions of eligibility which aae required as a condition precedent to their admission to seats under the constitution ; but certainly they toive no right to prescribe new tests foreigWto.the requirements of tbe fundamental law. If this power is tbe eoDilution, then Con gress an act cxcludingjtll n\arnpd or singlo gentlenfen from seats, astfley may fapey, or enact a law that an Jr man entertaining views antagonis tic to thejrs on.’tho subject of religion, morals or political economy, should be prohibited from participating in nation al legislation. We present the views.of Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, on the unconstitutiooal ityand impolicy of this oath, and com mend it to the thoughtful consideration of those >gho are the peculiar friends of thjs unconstitutional requirement: Rogers, eof New Jersey, in hie nutftifey report from tbe judioiarycom miee, the test oath, justly says: ‘TP ' “If Congress has power iqtsdd to the oath iu the constitution, it has "power to diminish it and kit aside. If it can add the conditions it now does, it can add any number more. Tbe constitu tional oath to be administered, has rela tion to the future only, and not to the past, and if tbe officer would swear to support the constitution, that was all that could be required of him. “Our constitution was made soon af ter the close of the war, and our fathers did not deem it wise to provide test oaths, in order to prohibit those who gave aid and comfort to Great Britain, From holding office under the Federal Government. At the time of the for mation of the oonstitutffib, many of the followers of King George resided bore, and contifeted here until their deaths, any of whom could have held any office in the gift of the people, even that of President, by simply taking tbe oath provided for in the constitution. Ought we not to be ss charitable to our South ern brethren is were our fathers to those in this country who adhered to the government all through the revolution ary war 7” We preesent below a letter from Gen. Wade Hampton, of South CaroHWa, to Hon. Reverdv Johnson, on the subject of the destruction of Colombia, by the Federal troops, which folly explains it self. Mr. Johnson read the letter in the Senate, which excited the wrath of Senator Sherman, brother, of the Gen eral,- to such an extent, that he made some ugly remarks about- South Caro lina- Ise quote his language: “Th(S impudence," said he, “of this wWe thing, surpasses imagination.— UfeTfllampton) writes to this Senate that the State of Soffth Carolina is excluded from representation in this body. And I why is she excluded t Because they violated ttair oath, aqd have for years been tryirfe to get put of the Union, and now that they are beaten and de feated, they wbiffe like whipped ours to get back.” The Senate rjjjiculed the subject, and the letter was finally withdrawn. Thus it will be seen that the Senate, which in the potter days ol the ftepablto, award ed equal and exact justice to all who appealed to its magnanimity, refuses to investigate a subject which involves cot only the reputation of a noble and pa triotic citiien, bfit the right to insist up on payment for property wantonly de-- strayed by Federal -soldiers. But we Iroust wait patiently for Ihe dawn of a better day. will come, soon* enri later, when history will do justice to (fen. Hampton), and stamp the burns ing of as an aotof wilfullin cendiarishi. Gen. Hampton only de manded an investigation, after having been charged by Gen. Sherman with or dering Columbia to be burned, and the demand was refused : Wild Woods, Miss., April 21, IBGG. To the lion, lieverdy Johnson, U. S. Se nator : Sin: A few days ago I saw in the published proceedings of Congress, that a petition from Benjamin Rawles, of Columbia, S. C., asking compensation for the destruction of his homo by the Federal army in February, 1865, had been presented to the Senate, accompa nied by a letter.-from Major Gen. Sher man. In this tetter Gen. Sherman us ed the following language “Thoy (the citizens of Columbia,) set fire to thous andso f bales of cotton rolled out into tho stroets, and which wero burned be fore I jgterod Columbia. I myself was iu as early as nine (?) and I saw above fires and knew efforts had been madedp extinguish them ; but a high and streftg'wind kept thorn alive. I gave no orders for the burning of your city, but, on the contrary, the reverse, i and I believe this conflagration resulted 'from the great Imprudence of cutting the cotton bales, whereby the contents were spread to the winds so that it be came an impossibility to arrest the fire.. I saw in yoitoColumbia newspapers the printed orjPrilf Qon. Wade Hampton, that, pri ihe approach of the Yankee ar my," oILtW cotton should be burned, and from what I saw myself, I have no . hesitation in saying that he was tbe cause of the destiuction oi your city." This grave charge made against me by General S. having been before the Senate of the United States, I am natur ally most solicitous to vindicate my self before the same tribunal. But my State has no representative in that city. Those who should be there are debarred the right of entrance. In those Halls there aro none to speak for the South ; none to participate in tho legislation which governs her; none to impose the taxes she is called on to pay, and none to defend her or to vindicate her sons from misrepresentation, injustice, or slander. Under these circumstances I appeal to you, in tbe confident hope that you will use every effort to see that justice is done in this matter. I deny most emphatically that any cotton was Srod in Columbia by my order ; I deny that her qjftzens set fire to thousands of bales rolled out in the streets ; I deny that any cotton was on fire when the Fodef&l troops entered the city. And I respectfully ask Ttengress .to appoint committee charged with the dutv of as certaining and reporting "oil the facts connected wife the destruction of Co lumbia, and thus fixing upon the proper author of thal-enormous crime me in famy it deserves. I am willing to submit the ease to and honest tribunal.* Before any such I pledge myself to prove my positive orders, by. direction of Gen. Boaure §ard, that no cotton should be fired— iat not one bale wajLpn fire when Gen. Sherman's troops took possession of the city—that he positively promised pro tection to the city—and that, in spite of his solemn premise, bis soldiers burned it to the groundadcliberatebjF, systemat ically, atrocioiftly. I, therefore, most earnestly request that Copgress may take prompt and efficient measures to investigate this mat(gf fully. Not only is thisydue to themselves and to the reputation of the United States army, but to justme and to truth. Trusting that you wilhpardon me for troubling you, I am, eto., Wade Hampton.
