Trouble* of a Disappointed Poli
tician.
Horace Maynard of Tennessee, a gen
tleuea of line legal and and literary a
tainnsents, but of Puritan extraction,
•nd narrow prejudices; who never ene
joyed the confidence of the people or the
respect of his own party, has published a
▼err long, a very Sitter, very silly, and
very injudicious letter, in which ho takes
occasion to denounce the Southern Pres
as disloral, and its conductors as hypos
crites. His letter is two and a half col
umns in length, and this alone is suffi
cient reason for its exclusion from our col
umns. It is in all other respects equal
ly characteristic of the man: Full of bit.
terness, without the redeeming quality
of a happy style ; full of confident as
sertions, unsustained by a single line of
evidence ; abounding in epithets which
under a change of circumstances have
lost their force and meaning ; a general
endorsement of the Administration,
withprovtsoMas to every important mea
sure of the Executiflgf squinting at the
Radical policy of Constitutional Amend
ments, yet eulogitio of the President
who stands steadfastly opposed to it;
•'aiming that the functions of the Union
have been restored, yet doubting the
loyalyty and good intentions of the peo
ple oi thirteen states ; eschewing per*
senal quarrels, petty rivalries, frivolous
jealousies and self-seeking cabals, he
calls upon the Radical faction in Tennes
see to cendense, drill discipline, and
close up their ranks against Conserva
tive, amnestied, and “ reconstructed Re
bels.” We defy any living man to read
this anomalus document and locate its
author. He is neither for nor against
the President. He is neither for nor
•gainst Thad. Stevens; and the Star
Chamber committee. He is neither for,
nor against taxation without representa
tion. He is neither for nor against the
Freedmen's Bureau bill. Fe is for
Mr. Maynard. That is unmistakable.
He is opposed to each and every man
who stands in his way to office. That is
equally plain. He is very bitter in his
denunciation of a public press which he
has failed to subsidize by condescend
ding flattery. He cherishe sno good
feeling for a class of public journalists
. who aspire to lead rather than follow
such politicians as Mr. Maynard. He
leaves the mind in donbt alike as to his
policy, or as to the nature of his individ
ual aspirations. He, however, succeeds
admirably in showing to the world, that
he is wholly unfit for council—incapable
ofjself control—blinded by the groseat
prejudioies, smarting under fancied neg
lect, and revengeful of imaginary
wrongs.
The Veto message.
The issue has been made, the battle
fought, and the victory won. Andrew
Johnson is now President of the United
States. Thad. Stephens is only his
former self—a fanatical, revolutionary, fu
rious, but ha.mless political bully. Chas.
Sumner, is simply Mr. Sumner—the Ro
besperre of former days, utterly power
less to execute his deeds of blood. The
Constitution lives. The principles of
free government have been vindicated.
Let the whole country rejoice.
To be appreciated the Message must
be read, when read, little remains to be
said. It contains its own comments.
Its language is unmistakable, as its
style is clear and elegant. There can
arise no quibble as to its meaning. All
can understand it. All will acknowl
edge its convincing power. No South
ern man can read it—no true American
citizen can read it—without feeling an
affection springing up in his heart for
Andrew Johnson.
Status of the Negro.
Ex-Governor Brown has written a let
ter for publication, in which he says that
“so far as legal rights are concerned, the
negro is terms of equality
with the white man.*’ That the sooner
this fact is recognized, the better. That
if we desired it, we would not be per
mitted by the Government of the United
States to enact and enforce one code of
laws for the white man and another for
the negro. That one law of contracts
must be made applicable to both. That
whilst the negro should not be allowed to
occupy the jury box, or to exercise the
elective franchise at the ballot box, he
must have the same right to sue and be
sued, and to testify in all the courts of
this State that the white man has. The
credibility of the testimony in either case
to be determined by the jury under the
rules of evidence which govern courts
and juries on that point. And that when
this shall have been done, he believes the
military surveillance and the Freedmen’s
Bureau will be removed from our midst,
but not a moment sooner.

’[For the New Era.]
The Hlorning Cometh.
The Veto Message of the President is
published. The people of the United
States have read it, and we venture to
say, that, in all the land, whether it be
in the North, where all has gone well,
or in the South where all has gone
wrong, thare is not an honest-hearted
patriot, who is not dow a happier
man.
Thanks to thee, Andrew Johnson. If
you could know of the joy with which
you have thrilled the heart of a great
people, you would feel compensated to
some extent, for much of your life-long
efforts to make the people happy.
The circumstances that surround us
are to be felt, rather than depicted.—
The height of our loss; the depth of our
sorrow, who can ascertain them? Be
lieving that we were right, we appeal
ed to arms. Without any Army, a Na
vy, or a Treasury, we defied a Nation
with all these; and more, a people, who,
with open pons, incalculably outnum
bered us. The fierceness of the strug
gle came. The privations of our people
were great; how great,*an All wise God
only knows. It seems to us now, like
the confused recollection of a frightful
dream. Battle after battle was fought,
and at last, when so much of the man
hood of the South had gone to the
grave, and when that matchless man of
the Army of Virginia, passed his sword
to the conqueror—then, stripted of pro
perty and political rights, the South
meekly bowed to that, which her heroic
sous had failed to avert. The bitter
ness of defeat —thorough and searching
was hers.
Then Andrew Johnson became Pres
ident. What would he do? was the in
quiry of every heart. We looked but
we dared not to hope. Time passed.—
The character of our defence during the
struggle, whether viewed with refer
ence to the courage or skill that was
displayed, had won for us the admira
tion of generous men everywhere.—
But these were dispised by the madmen
who were now in part our rulers. The
Nation had triumphed when Lee and
Johnston surrendered, and with that
the true soldier was satisfied. But the
Radicals took up the war when the
brave and generous had closed it. His
triumph was yet to be fought for. The
Federal soldier had achieved success
for the Nation, by passing, sword in
hand, over the defences of the South;
the Radical, now that danger had pass
ed away, proposed to make bis con
quest by passing over the Constitution.
He sat himself busily to work. His
policy could have been no worse for us
if the Evil One himself, had presided
in the Councils.
In the meantime, the President had
considered well his course. He put the
South in motion. He suggested, and
step after step was made, until we, by
our own action, had organized the
States and commissioned our Senators
and Representatives to Congress. They
were denied admission, for Radicalism
ruled there. For these States there was
taxation but no representation. The
President, firm, vigilant, faithful,
awaited events.
His power was for defensive, not ag
gressive purposes. Radicalism pro
ceeded and after weeks of labor, their
fiendish purposes were embodied in a
Bill to enlarge the powers of the Freed
men’s Bureau, which was sent to the
President for his approval. The op
portunity had come, and he was not the
man to loose it. That bill violated
nearly one half the Constitution of the
United States; it created a great Na
tional Charity House, the doors of
which were closed upon the starving
poor of the North,.but which were open
to the indie, thriftless negro of the
South. It created a great irresponsi
ble power, that of itself superceded all
else of authority within its influence
and it gave to the President a patron
age of power with which he could make
himself what he pleased. The man
who had declined the gift of a pair of
horses, spurned this immense increase
of Executive patronage and authority,
because in it he read the downfall of
his county. The Veto came. We
verily that in all the range in
our State papers there is no document
equal to this. There i» scarcely a line
that does not contain a deadly thrust at
Radicalism, and in its entirety it is a
grand consumate stroke for the integri
ty of the Constitution. There is one
portion in it that has a peculiar inter
est for us. He pleads our cause. He
witnessed our fall—he has known the
sincerity of our professions, and now
when he makes this issue with the Rad
icals, he involuntarily pleads for us.—
Let the heart of the down trodden
South be glad. As surely as that at the
Throne of Grace there is One who in
tercedes for poor fallen man, so sure is
there one here who has placed himself
across the path of our enemy. He is
strong in the possession of a Constitu
tional power to check the advance of
the foe. He is fearless; skilful and
with him there is no such word as fail.
fgWe advise no truculent conduct, no
humiliating concession, but we do most
earnestly urge, that the President shall
not be encumbered with a single im
prudent act in the South.
The South has a twofold reason for
loyalty—her solemn pledge, and grati
tude to Andrew Johnson. For his
sake, if she has no higher motive, she
should stand by the Constitution. The
touching manner of his plea cannot be
forgotten. Our strength has been
wasted, but our honor survives. *

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.
Milledgeville, Feb., 22, 1866.
The Senate met at 10 o’cloak, a. m.
Prayer by Rev. S. E. Brooks, of the
Baptist Church.
After the reading of the Journal, Mr.
Strozier introduced the following, .-which
was agreed to:
The Senate of the State of Georgia do
resolve, That in honor of the aniversary
of the birth day of Washington, and in
honor to his comprehensive patriotism
which embraced his whole country and
produced counsels of wisdom, modera
tion, justice and universal fraternity in
the stormiest periods of her history, the
Senate do now adjourn till 10 o’clock
to-morrow morning.
The Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE.
The House met at 9 o’clock, s. m.—
Prayer by the Chaplain.
The Journal was read and approved.
On motion of Mr. Moses, of Musco
gree, the action of the House on the bill
to repeal the Act prohibiting the mar
riage of first cousins, was reconsider
ed.
The special order of the day, the bill
to authorize the Inferior Courts of the
several counties of the State, to levy
and collect an extra tax for the sup
port of indigent widows and orphans of
soldiers was taken up, and before ar
riving at any action on the same, the
House entertained a motion to adjourn
in respect to the day, and to listen to
the address of Hon. A. H. Stephens.
Adjourned.
The Radicals More Bitter than Ever—
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Suu says that it was a mistake
to suppose that the address of the Presi
dent to the committee of the Virginia
Assembly would serve to conciliate or
appease the radicals, or even conciliate
the more moderate republicans. The ef
fect is quite the reverse. The President’s
declaration that the government must bo
preserved against both extremes, and
that if Northern democrats stood in the
way they must get out of it, excites their
indignation and hostility. *
There is no longer any hope that a
conservative phalanx can be found among
the Republican members. In regard to
the constitutional amendment respecting
representation, we find that seventeen
Senators must vote against it to prevent
its passage by a two-tbiads vote. There
are eleven Democrats who will vote
against it. Os course six Republicans
must unite with them if the amendment
is to be arrested. Os the six namca
mentioned as likely to be cast in the neg
ative, four are ultra radicals, wh® will ac
cept nothing short of negro suffrage, and
the other two are moderate republicans.
The votes of some of these are uncertain.
Gen. Forrest is now at his farm near
Memphis. He has been there all the
time certain parties had him en route
for Mexico. He has never been arrest
ed. There is no probability that he
will be. In conversation with a gen
♦leman in Memphis a few days since he
is reported to have said:
“Tell all whom it may concern, “that
Forrest may be found at any time on his
farm, among his plows, hoes, and shov
els, endeavoring to make a support, and
that others would do well to settle
down with like purposes, and let the
world know that they can be found at
all times to answer the calls of their
governmen'. |As for me, I did all in
my power to break up the government,
but I have found it a useless undertak
ing, and am now resolved to stand by
the government as earnestly and* hon
estly as when I fought it.”

It is stated that Mr. Doolittle will
introduce a new Freedmen's Bureau
bill to day, incorporating the President’s

Brigadier General Gregory, Commis
sioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau for
the State of Texas, uuder date of Gal

ral Howard a very satisfretory state of
affairs throughout that State.
The Second Comptroller yesterday de
cided that disbursing officers, when
paying fees to witnesses, are not re
quired to deduct therefrom the five per
cent. revenue tax, as <uch fees are not
'of the nature of salary to a Govern
ment officer. The same officer, in reply
to an inquiry addressed him by an
American temporiarily residing in Sy
ria, as to whether he has forfeited his
claim to the bounty provided by law, in
the case of his deceased sou, who died
in the military police of the United
States, leaving neither wife or child,
has decided that no citizen, temporarily
a resident of any foreign country, for*
feits his right to bounty. His son was
killed in the military service of the Uni*
ted States, and it will be paid on proper
application.
The enormous amounts .paid by the
Government during the war, and now
being audited here, are shown by the
fact that the accounts of Col. Crossman,
of Philadelphia, now at the Third Audi
tor’s office, involve disbursements to the
amount of or over 8250,000
per month for clothing and army sup
plies.
The reply of Secretary Seward to. Mr.
Bigelow’s dispatch, enclosing the speech
of the Emperor Napoleon, in reference
to Mexican affairs, has been printed, and
will be forwarded to Europe to-dt.y. Mr.
Seward alludes, with considerable se
verity to, and denies the assertion of, the
Emperor that our Government had been
invited to join France in her Mexican in
tervention before the introduction of
French forces into the army of Maxi
milian.
It has now come to light that the in
structions under which the Freedmen’s
Bureau in Louisiana was so completely
dis rupted in Novemqer, its two hundred
schools brought to a close soon after
wards, its freedmen and discharged col*
ored soldiers arrested as vagrants in the
the streets of New Orleans without trial
or process of law, and the orphans of
freedmen returned to their former slave
holders as apprentices, were imparted bv
the President himself, and that General
Fullerton acted iu accordance with Exe
cutive instructions.
House. —Mr. Morrill said that it was
not in order to allude to what had re
cently taken place in the Senate, but hap
pen what may, Union men will not for
get they have a country to save. The
treasures under consideration may be
called the apple of the eye. The public
credit it was proposed to plc’ge was not
only on past accumulations and resourc
es, but prospectively the wealth of 36,-
000,0U0 of people—who were more
wealthy than any other nation of 50,000,-
000 upon the globe—in order to carry a
loan on favorable terms. The present
bill was only a patch on an old Govern
ment tender act of March, 1865, so as to
authorize the Secretary of the Treasury
at his discretion to receive any notes,
whether bearing interest or not, in ex
change for any description of bonds au
thorized by the act to which this is a
supplement. This will confer large pow
ers, but it merely substitutes a new debt
for an old one. Our entire debt can’t
thus be increased a single dollar.
It was known that the Secretary of
the Treasury contemplated a return of
specie payments at the earliest practi
cabl: moment. We have been fortu
nate in our Secretary of the Treasury
during the last five years, one of whom
wo called to occupy the highest judicial
station in the country. It was a relief
to the loyal people when his successor,
Mr. Fessenden, was appointed, com
manding as he did, so much of the pub
lic confidence here asked and received
all they wanted from Congress, and did
not betray their treat, and now we have
a Secretary in Mr. McCulloch, whose
conduct has won golden opinions at
home and abroad.
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 21.—The
Union State Convention to-morrow will
be largely attended. A caucus was
held to-night for a general interchange
of opinion and discussion of the ques
tion of endorsing the President or Con
gress. The conservative element seems
to be in the ascendency. Both wings
are disposed to harmonize.
New York, Fcbi 21.'■ —Files ol Valp
araiso and Santiago papers have been
received up to the sixteenth of January.
The,news of rumored mediation of France
and England in the Spanish Chilian war,
has not been regarded with favor in
Chili or deemed of great importance. —
It'is not expected that Spain will relin
quish her pretensions.
There is a diplomatic quarrel between
Chili and Uruguay. The interchange
of notes was continued until the offend
ed Government of Uruguay stopped the
exequatur of the Chilian Minister, and
issued a decree prohibiting arrivals,
sales of prizes, and threatening severe
penalties upon all who infringe upon
(hose laws.
The approaching retirement of Mr,
Wilson, United States Minister to Chili,
is much regretted. He was a member
of the Diplomatis ;a,and his remonstrance
with Admiral Parefo is believed to have
saved the city of Valparaiso from bom
bardment.
An engagement had taken place at
Caddsville, between the blockading
force and the Chilian garrison. The as
saults were repulsed.
New York, Feb. 21.—The Post's spe

mittee on freedmen, Mr. Elliot, is pre-
paring a new bill providing lor tl e !
Freedmen’s Bureau.
Resolutions were unanimously adopt

Washington, Feb. 20. —A delegation
of merchant tailors are here from Penn
sylvania and Maryland, joined by some
of the trade in W ashington, to appear
before the Committee on Wa\B
and Means, with a memorial to obtain
amendment to the Internal Revenue
law. They say that they are now re
quired to pay sixty dollrrs on every
thousand of gross receipts, which they
think altogether too much. They are
willing to pay what is recommended by
the Treasury Committee, namely, ffive
dollars on the thousand.
New York, Feb. 21 —The steamer
Henry Charney from Aspinwall the 13th

Several miners from California have I

The California miners pronounce the de
velopment as exceedingly rich.
The trial of Bradly for robbing the
Paymaster Rittonhouse of $15,000 has

Valparaiso, Jan. 20.—War had been
declared by Peru against Spain but
hostilities had not yet commenced. The
blockade of Calloa has been raised and
the Spanish squadron are concentrating
at Valpariaso. Five or six sailing ves
sels have been burned by the Span*
iards.
The Post says a dispatch faom a mem
ber of Congress announced yesterday
shat the Secretary Seward would speak
at the Cooper Institute meeting.
New York, Feb. 20. —Advices from
San Francisco state that the West Un
ion Telegraph has been extended, under
the superintendence of Col. Bulkly, over
400 miles, to New Westminister, on
I Frazier river.
Reports from Col. Bulkly’s exploring

overcome are of less magnitude than
were anticipated by some. It is be
lieved the connection between Russia
and America will be completed before a

No Compensation. — The Congression
al Committee on Claims have taken
the broad ground that, as it never has
been the practice of Governments to
make compensation for the ravages of
war, the question of compensation to
sufferers in hostile regions cannot be en"

many who have already placed their pa
pers before Congress.

No mnu’s nonre H more Intimately connected wilb tho

more lavora bly known ab a pioneer iu Medical Discove
ry, than that of
John Bull, of Louisville, Kentucky.
His inimitable preparation <r Har.wp.rlllo, has
long stood at .be bead of the various compounds ol that
vaia.ble drug.
His Compound of Wild Cherry has be
come a household word
throughout the
West
His Worm Losen
ges, in less than a year
after their introduction, attaiic.l a
Reputation as wide spread as the continent of North
America. But the crowuingg'ury of bis life remains to
be attained in hit discovery, ur rather combination, for
be does not claim to have be«*n the discover of CKD»
KON, which is the binds of lhe Bitters now ofiered to
the public. That henor belongs to tbe native inhabi
tants of Central America, to wnom ns virtues have been
known for more tuan two hundred y*ars. Armed with
it thelndUu bids th fiance, to the most deadly maiaru
and bandies, without fear, the m- st venomous serpents.
It is a belief with them, that while tber« is breath in the
body, tbe Cedron is potent to cure, no matter what the
case may be.
While Dr. Bull is not prepared to endorse this sxtrtva
ganl pretension, he is nevertheless satisfied from a
thorough examination ol the ev'dence relating to itfi
virtues, that asa remedy and preventative for all dB
- arising from t xpostire, either toebunge of weather
or climate, or to miasmatic influenceF, it stands
Vv itUout ct rival!
And justly deserves the reputation it
has long enjoyed in Central America
and the West ludios.
IN DYSPEPSIA
And its attendant train of symptoms it acte more Like
a Charm than a medicine. Ihwre m nothing in the
whole range ot Materia Med ca that can for a moment
bear a comparison with it in this disease.
A full account ot this wonderful piaut rnay be found in
the 11th edition of the United S ates Diepensitory, pages
1387 and 1888. *
A series oi experiments in which Dr. Bull has been for
years engaged, has jfist been br light to a successful
termination, and he is now enabled to cff.ir the public a
combination of Cedron with other approved tonics,
the whole preserved m the beat quality of copper distill
ed Biurbon Wnisky, which he is confident has no equal
in tne world.
He might furnish a volume ot certificates, but the
public have long since learned to estimate such things
by their true value. The salest plan is, for everyone
' to test lor himself tho virtues of a new medicine.
