GEOB GIA.
Sunday Morning, Feb’y 25,1866.
Tbe one idea of every Southerner,
with scarcely an exception, is, that the
free negro must be “kept down,’ and
that such laws must be passed as will
secure the legal as well as social su
premacy of the superior race.
We clip the above from an editorial
in ‘ Frank Leslies Illustrated Newspa
per.” Os course it is a gross misrep.
resentation of the sentiments and feel'
ings of tbe Southern people. Every
well informed man knows that the ex
ception” applies to those who are in fa
vor of “keeping the negro down,’ and
that tbe rule is to allow the negro every
opportunity and facility for elevating
himself.
Southern people buy and read Leslie’s
aheet of caricatures. Why willl they do
it? They spend twenty-five cents a
week, or thirteen dollars a year for the
privilege of being insulted and bullied
around their own fire sides. We can
readily understand why a man wants to
see a noted thief, forger or murderer.
But why gentlemen will select such
guests and take them into the family
•ircle is not altogether clear.
Jfass Meeting.— We notice that Mass
meetings are being called in Louisville,
Bayton and other cities in the western
States, for the purpose of declaring a
hearty endorsement of tbe President s
Veto Message. •
The people of Georgia would willing
ly meet en masse and express their cor
dial endorsment of the Message, but it
would do no good. The probabilities
are that it would do harm. The time
has not yet come. If the Northern peo
ple would know how the Message has
been received here, let them note the
tone of the Southern Press. Let them
read the proceedings of our State Legis
latures. Windy resolutions and stump
speeches gotten up for Mass meeting occa
sions would fail to express tbe deep so
licitude of the Southern people in this
matter.
Mexico.— Latest advices from Vera
Cruz indicate an early evacuation of the
country by the Europeans. French
troops were arriving at Vera Cruz from
the interior and embarking on trans
ports. They were bound for the de
fence of Tampico, which was threat
ened by the Republicans. It was in
timated also that they were intended
for frontier service against the United
States. Large quantities of military
stores were still arriving at Vera Cruz
for France, and being sent pnto the
interior.
There is said to be some shifting of
position at Washington. The tone of
some of the Radicals are desperate and
defiant, others of the party are begin
ning to see that should a conflict arise,
the Executive will prove the strongest.
There are at least forty Representatives
who cannot be elected next Fall, should
the President throw his influence and
patronage against them. There will be
greater quaking and more shifting in
the House of Representatives as soon
as the people can be beard.
Richmond Examiner. — Upon ap
plication by Mr. Pollard for peomission
to resume the publication of the Exam
iner, the President telegraphed to Gen.
Grant, requesting that he would revoke
the order suspending it. This General
Grant refused. The President then
wrote again, making the same request,
but Gen. Grant stood firm. The Presi
dent then upon Pollard’s promise to
support his policy in the future, in the
face of Gen. Grant’s orders, gave Pol
lard permission to resume the publica
tion.
From Columbus. — A private letter
from Columbus, Ga., informs us that
the negro troops lately on duty there
all left on Thursday morning. A new
garrison, composed of white men, ar
rived the day previous, under the com
mand of Capt. Howe. The people of
that city feel greatly relieved. The ne
groes were overbearing, insolent, and
insulting.
A negro man, who was out on a
stealing expedition, was shot and kill
ed, near the Muscogee Railroad Depot,
in that city, a few days since.
The New York Press.—The New York
Tribune promptly accepts the Presi
dent’s veto Message as a plain casus
belli. The Times is inclined to parley.
The Herald sides with the President,
and thereby eats its own words —its ac
customed diet however. The World
and the News support the Message—
so of the Post.
Arrested. — A party of eight persons
who had paid their fair on a steamer
bound for Vera Cruz, was arrested by
the United States military authorities
in New Orleans, a few days since. The
foreigners among the emigrants were
released upon reporting to their several
nationalities, and all were subsequent
ly aet at large upon a pa'ole of honor.
President Johnson has appealed to
the people of the United States for sup
port of his potriotic efforts to restore
he Union upon the princepies of the
Constitution. He has thus far discharg
ed his duty to tbe peeple. Let tbe peo
ple now sustain him, and thus faithfully
discharge an important duty.
Jtety- Bread is the staff of life and yet
nobody leans on it.
At Large Again.
No one has satisfactorily a answered
the enquiry once made by Northern
journalist “why one Wendall Phillips
was at large.” He ought certainly to
be in the mad-house. But he is’nt. He
is still making speeches. Here is what
he said upon a recent occasion:
But you will say the President, also
agrees in this theory of the south and
of General Howard. The campaign in
Virginia was fought against the repre
sentative rebel, Lee. The present
campaign is fought against Andrew
Johnson, who leads tbe hosts of tbe
Confederacy. [Applause.] The ques
tion has been shifted from the camp to
the forum; it has shif’ed from the can
non into ideas; and the great, moment
ous discrimination needed to-day, is
where the party lines run. Camps fight
well when they are drawn up opposite
each other; the difficulty is, when they
are mixed. The difficulty of tbe pr< s
ent moment is, that men are confused
as to where the lines run. I will tell
you my idea; Grant headed the north
ern host, Lee the southern. Lee has
been whipped, and the battle settled.—
To-day Congress heads the northern
host, Andrew Johnson the -southern.—
[Loud and continued applause.] And
until you awaken th# north to stand be'
hind Congress, and enhearten and en*
couiage it to recognize its own leader
ship and that of its enemy, the State is
not safe for a moment.
And again:
We have crushed South Carolina, and
now the President means to crush
Massachusetts. Well, we accept tbe war
If he succeeds, he shall write his name
higher than that of Burr or Arnold, for
tbe treason which they attempted and
failed in, he carried; but we will write
it side by side with them--the traitor
that tried and failed—if we win. [Loud
and long continued applauoe.] Why I
say this is because no man on this con
tinent understands the merits of this
question better than the great Tennes
seean. He has felt it in his own State,
and seemed to have the lesson of war
profoundly learned until he became
Vice President.
Incendiary.— ln a late speech deliver
ed in the United States Senate, with the
galleries full of free negroes and mulat
toes, Charles Sumner said:
The freedman, though forbearing and
slow to anger, will not submit to outrage
always. He will resist, resistance will
be organized, and here will begin the ter
rible war of races foreseen by Jefferson,
where God, in all his attributes, has
none which can take part with his op
pressors. The tragedy of St. Domingo
will be renewed on a wider theatre, with
bloodier incidents. Be warned by this
historic precedent. It was tbe denial of
rights to colored people, after excessive
promises, which caused that fearful in
surrection. After various vicissitudes,
during • which the rights of citizenship
were conferred on free people of color
and then resumed, the slaves at last rose,
and here the soul sickens at the recital.
And again, after reciting the atrocities
of St. Domingo, he said:
The freedmen among us are not unlike
the freedmen of St. Domingo and Ja
maica; they have the same organs, di
versions, senses, affections, passions, and
above all, the same ssnse of wrong, and
the same revenge, passing from the ne
cessity of the case.
The man of wealth, learning and so
cial position has nothing to fear from
the Radical scheme of negro equality.
Select Schools and Churches will save
his children and family from contact
with and insult from the brutalized ne
gro. It is the poor man, the common
laborer —the honest yeomanry—who
will be thrown into collison with the*
blacks, should the scheme of Sumner
succeed.
It is a sublime spectacle to see a man,
like Alexander H. Stephens, just returned
from the confines of a Northern prison,
Wasted in health and in means, exhorting
his countrymen to patience and Christian
forbearance. Let all Christian men emu
late his noble example. Good govern
ment is what we want. This can be ob
tained only through patience, forbear
ance and charity by partisans of both
sections.
————
The Star Chamber Committee have
decided to report a joint resolution for the
admission of the Tennessee delegation.—
The report will state distinctly that Ten
nessee having applied for admission into
the Union, and her constitution being
republican in form, she will be admitted
on the same terms, and tor the same rea
sons that Territories are.
The friends of George Bancroft, the
historian, have been urging him for the
New York Collectorship, but he has de
clined in expectation of becoming Secre
tary of State, should the Cabinet be re
formed.
The North Carolina Legislature.—
The House defeated the Senate Bill to
authorize the banks of that State to in
vest their funds in a National Bank.
The Legislature will adjourn about
the Ist of March.
Some [thief or thieves entered the
sleeping apartment of a Mr. Williams,
in Montgomery a few nights since, ad
ministered chloroform to their victim
and robbed him of all the money he had
about his person.
Quite a number of new buildings
mostly saw mills—are being erected in
Chattanooga, Tenn.
The Surratt Family.— A gentleman
who was intimate with the Surratt
family, at Washington, says:
The daughter, Annie Surratt, has en
tered a convent. John Surratt is be
lieved to be secluded in some monaste
ry. The steel portrait of Mrs. Surratt,
in Ben. Pitman’s printed report of the
trial, could not be more accurate.
t£tF Bottled F. Butler is catching it
on all bands. If we were he we would
swap ourself off for a little nigger and
apped to the “Bureau” for protection.
jji-ajr The worst line to get tangled in
is crino-lino. It makes a fellow feel dis
tressingly.
THE PRESIDENT’S VETO IN
THE SENATE.
Speeches I,y Senntoi s VV.de and Tram
bit 1.
Mr. Wade introduced the following
joint resolution, proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution.
Resolved, That the following article
be proposed to the Legislatures of the
several Spates as an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States,
which, when ratified by three-fourths of
the said Legislatures, shall be valid as
part of said Constitution, viz:
Article— The Executive power shall
be vested in a President of the United
States of America. Ho shall hold his
oilice during the term of four years, and
shall not again be eligible to that office
during the term of his natural life. In
case of the removal of the President
from office, or death, resignation, or in
ability to discharge the powers and du*
ties of the said office, the same shall de
volve on the Vice Piesideut, who shall
not again be eligible to the office of
President of tbe United States during
the term of his natural life. When
ever Congress may by law provide for
the case of removal, death, resignation,
oi inability of both President and Vice
President, such officer shall not again
be eligible to the office of President du
ring the term of his natural life.
Mr. Wade, in offering this resolution,
said: I will state that this resolution is
no new idea of mine, for I have been an
advocate of it for many years, and I
have derived the very steady impressions
I have on the subject by a very careful
observation of the working of our Gov
ernment through such periods as I have
been an observer of it, and I believe it
has been very rare that we have been
able to elect a President of the United
States who has not been tempted to use
I the vast powers intrusted to him ac-
I cording to his own opinion to advance
his re-election, and when 1 say this of
the Presidents who have preceded us I
say it in no attempt to depreciate the
merits of those men, because the Con
stitution places before them temptations
which no one can hardly expect that hu
min nature will resist, and in the long
run it will never resist us clearly in the
history of our Government.
Washington himself, who was exceeds
ingly sagacious in the workings of the
Government, informed the United States
that it was bis opinion that there was a
weakness that ought to be remedied.—
He saw that the men entrusted with
these more than regal powers, during the
period when he was President, might be
tempted to use them for his advancement
afterwards, and almost all the Presidents
since have felt the necessity of some such
check upon personal ambition. It is the
injunction of more than heaven’s wisdom
to be relieved from these temptations.—
We might trace this, had we time,
through the proceedings of administra
tions, and we should find that this influ
ence weighed like gravitation upon the
mind of almost every President we ever
had. How is it sir, in the present case?
Mr. Trumbull was greatly impressed
that a Bill designed for such purposes
should be returned as unconstitutional
Having taken an active part in the pas
sage of the bill he felt called upon tc
vindicate himself from having urged i*
bill so unconstitutional and at variance
with the real and present condition o
the country as this is said to be. II •
said the bill was not the original meas
ure, and did not enlarge the powers oi
freedmen, but it was merely amendatory
of the act already presented ; it does lit
tle more than give sanction of law to
what is already being done, without any
statute or provision. The Freedmen’s
Bureau already exists; courts are held
by the Freedmen’s Bureau throughout
the entire country where that bureau
has any operation under military author
ity ; laws inconsistent as it is believed
with the safety of the Government, or
incompatible with military operations
are set aside at this time in all these acts.
It was understood that the object of the
bill was to continue in existence the
Freedmen's Bureau, not permanently.—
All such intent was disavowed during the
discussion of the bill. No time is speci
fied in the bill as to when it shall cease
to operate, nor is it customary to insert
such clause in any law ; but it was de
clared that it should operate until others
wise provided by law. It is not intended
the bill shall go into States and control
the domestic affairs of those States. It is
simply a bill designed to provide, not for
four millions of emancipated slaves or
refugees, but only for the indigent, so
that they could become self-supporting.
Thousands of Union men were driven
from their homes all over the South.
This was particularly the case in Tennes
see; they had neither food nor clothing.
They flocked around our armies during
the whole progress of the war, and were
fed by our supplies. So also with freed
men. While these people were flocking
around our armies, on the 3d of March,
1865, Congress passed a law to systema
tize the clothing and feeding of these
destitute negroes, and place them under
charge of a special department of milita
ry establishment, called Freedmen’s Bu
reau. There are still on our hands some
of these destitute people, who must be
provided for. There has been saved to
the Government millions of money by
the establishment of a system through
which employment has been found for
these people. An amei dment has been
adopted to tbe Constitution, declaring
that slavery shall not exist. By virtue of
that enactment, hundreds of thousands
of slaves have become free in the midst
of a Hostile population, without any aid
of the world’s goods, without any sup
plies of any kind. Something must be
done to take care of these people.
The Freedmen's Bureau has not had
jurisdiction over these four millions of
people. Its work has been confined to a
very small compass, and this measure,
which comes to us denounced as uncon
stitutional and as against public charity,
is designed only to find employment for
these destitute, ignorant people, who are
few in number compared with the great
number of blacks in the whole country—
and not simply for freedmen, but tor ref
ugees. More white refugees, in many
instances, have received support and sup
plies from this Freedmen’s Bureau than
flacks have. The President, in his veto
message, says the act which was passed
to establish a bureau for the relief of
freedmen and refugees, in the month of
March last, has not yet expired. By the
terms of the act it was to continue du
ring the war and one year thereafter. So
far as the conflict of arms is concerned,
all admit that the war ceased when the
last reb< 1 army laid down its arms. That
was some time in May, when the rebel
army in Texas surrendered. I do not
hold that the consequences of war are
over; but the war of the rebellion is
over, and this bureau mustexpire in May
next, aoco ding to the terms of tho act of
March, 1865. The President says it
was thought stringent and extensive
enough for the purpose in time of war.
At that time most of these Slates were
under rebel control, and the Freedmen’s
Bureau could only take jurisdiction of
such freedmen and refugees as came
within the lines of the army. When the
war progressed , and the slaves of Tex
as, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Geor
gia, Virginia and North Carolin i wet®
made free, by tho Constitutional Amend* ,
inent, was it not proper that the Freed* ;
men’s Bureau should be framed so as to .
embrace the destitute of these Suites, as '
well as ths lew who had come within ot 1
lines when the bill was enactei ? 1
Tho President says the bill prupost d
to establish military juirsdiction over all
parts ol the United State containing ref
ugees and freedmen. The bill contains
no such clause—it. is a misapprehension
of the bill- The bill says the President
shall extend military jurisd’etion and
protection over all employees and officers
of the bureau, in the exercise of the du
tcs imposed by this act. This bill makes
the Freedmen s Bureau a part of the I
War Dcparment. It makes its officers ’
and agents amenable to the rules and ar
ticles of war. Does that extend milita*
ry jurisdiction over the whole country ?
Did anybody ever suppose tho whole
country where they were was under mil
itary jurisdiction ? The bill extends
military jurisdiction nowhere; it merely
places under military jurisdiction those !
persons belonging to the Freedmen’s j
Bureau, who, nearly all of theffi, ar® now
under military jurisdiction.
The next objection of the President
which Mr. Trumbull noticed was that in
which the country is to be divided in
districts and numbers of salaried agents
to be er ployed may be equal to the
number of counties and parishes in the
States where refugees and freedmen aie
to be found. He denied that it was nec
essary to appoint any such number, not
withstanding that it was provided in the
bill that they might be appointed. To*
appoint such a number, he said, would be
an abuse of power intrusted in the Pres
ident.
Mr. Trumbull continued in reply to
the objection that this bill establishes
military jurisdiction in eivil eases and
denying that it created any military ju
risdiction whatever not now existing.—
Officers of the bureau were officers of the
army, now holding military commissions
by authority of the President. A short
time since in Georgia, two citizens were
arraigned for crime before a military
commission. These culprits being tound
guilty, were sentenced to death and bung
by direet' approval of the President him
self.

Preventives of Small Pox.
A medical friend has directed our at*
tention to the following quotations. The
first, from the letter of Dr. Knode :
“ It is known that when small pox mat
ter is tak-n from the human system and
is inserted into the tissues of the cow, it
is so modified by vital laws or functions
of the animal as to produce the true cow
pox, or vaccina. Lymph taken from
such pustules is the true and only relia
ble vaccine matter.
A few cows are needed at the small pox
hospital to supply its inmates with milk;
these animals should be innoculated with
small pox matter and efforts made to
produce the disease. This accomplished,
we have a virus that is necessarily pure
and the very same that Jenner dissemi- ,
Dated after his great discovery.’’
Tho second quotation is from George
Gregory, M. D., physician to the small
pox hospital at Highgate, resident in '
London, who is applied to by medical i
men all over the world for information
•
on eruptive diseases : j
“Jenner believed that in giving to 1
man cow pox, he was in reality giving
to him small pox in its primitive and
Wildest form. Some of the followers of
Jenner have adopted this fanciful no
tion.
“ Diseases that naturally produce
such other are clearly referable to the
same origin. Thus, swine pox and s null
pox are the same diseases ; but cow pox
and small pox are differently circum
stanced. In man no combination of cirs T
cumstanccs, however unfavorable, has
ever converted cow pox into small pox;
and no cure has ever succeeded in con
verting tbe small pox into the cow pox. ’ ! >

The Latest and Mo»t Important
DISCOVERY
GF THE
NINETEENTH CENTURY!!!
No man’s name Is more intimately connected with tho
history < f M ATr RIA MEDIC A of tbe United BUtes, <T
more tavoru bly known aw a pioneer in Medical Discove
ry, than that of
John Bull, of Louisville, Keutucky.
IDs inimitable preparation (f Banaparill*,
long stood nt the bead of the various compounds ol that
valuable 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, attained a
Reputation as wide spread as the continent of North
America. But the crowuingg ury ot his life remains to
be attained m bit discovery, or rainer combination, for
be does not cluim to havo been the discover of CJKD
KUMy which is the basis of the Bitters now ofiered to
the public. That b'-nor belongs to tbe native inhabi
tant* of Central America, to wnom ns virtues have bocn
known for more than two hundred years. Armed with
it thelnd’an bids fiance’ to tho most deadly malaria
and bandies, without fear, tho m >Bt venomous serpents.
It is a belie! with them, that wtiile therein breath in the
body, the Cedron is potent to cum, no matter what the
• casr may be.
While Dr. Bull is not prepared to endorse this *xtr iva
gant pretension, he is nevertheless satisfied from a
0 thorough examination ot the evdebe*' relating to ttfi
virtues, that as i remedy and preventative for al! ds
eases arising from * xp ’sure, either to change of weather
or climate, or to miasmatic inflaenceff it stands
w Itlxoxxt xrl-va.l!
And justly deserves the reputation it
has long enjoyed in Central America
and the West Indios.

combination ol Cedron with other approved

He might- furnish a volume ot certificates, but the

■ Cedron Bitters
One trial and you will never use any
others.
It is not necessary to publish a long list of disenses for
wnich the Cedron Bitters are a specific. In all
diseases of the
BOWELS, LIVER or KIDNEYS,
In all affections of the
Brain, depending upon Derangement of the
Stomach or Bowels-,
IN

AND IN
FEVER AND AGUE,
It is deftjned to supercede all other remedies, it not
only cuios these diseases, but it prevents them. A
wine glasscf the B;tt<r J , taken an hour before each
meal, will obvhte the ill effects cf the most unhealthy
climate, and screen tho person taking it against disvaso
under the most Dying exposure. *
