THE FEDERAL UNION,
3 (Comoro f Hancock and WUkinsonstruts.)
OPPOSITE TBKCOl'BTDOEl^.
80DCHTOII, KISBET k CO., State Printers.
Tuesday'Morning, March 13, 1806.
The Georgia Citixrh :—W© Lave been pleas
eJ to receive the Daily Georgia Citizen. Dr. An
drews knows how to publish a paper,and we hope
that be will abundantly succeed in his enterprise.
The Citizen is a handsome sheet—thoroughly new
—very readable, and is sent to Daily subscribers
for $ 10,00 a year—$1,00 per month.
Et tu Brule!
The Nashville Press and Times, a genuine red
mouthed Jacobin of the Tribune stamp, says that
Provisional Gov. James Johnson of Ga. had an
interview with President Johnson a day or two
ago, on which occasion Mr. James Johnson infor
med the President that the people of Georgia
were still malignantly rebellious, and that more
troops ought to be sent to the State to keep the
people in subjection and preserve order.
Now, we do not know that James Johnson ever
said any such thing to the President. If it be
true as stated by the Press and Times, that
a Georgian demands oppression and still deep
er degradation for his fellow-citizens, tha(
man deserves the execration of mankind and
the scorn, contempt and undying hate of every
white roan, woman and child in the State of Geor-
gia.
Wo hope, for the honor of the State, and the
reputation of the Provisional Governor, he will
give the lie direct to the damaging statement of the
vile Jacobin print at Nashville.
Advertising—To Business Men.
It is rarely the case that a merchant, or any other
business man dea’ing with the public, gets rich
without advertising a great deal- ffm B. Astor,
Barnum, Stewart, (now worth 25 millions) have
all expressed their opinion to the woild that liber
al advertising—that is, constantly keeping be
fore the public their .siness—has, second to
their energy, most contributed to their immense
success. Come nearer home. Look at the mer
chants and business men of Savannah, Augusta,
Atlanta and Macon—the men who have amassed
large fortunes—in every case you will find their
names and their business prominently before the
public in all sections where their business extends.
The money they pay ont for the use of newspaper
columns, yields a greater interest in proportion to
the amount, than any other investment they
make. Our people read the papers whether they
they subscribe for them and pay for them or not.
If they see a man's names constantly in the ad
vertising columns they conclnde he is doing a
good business—and it is singularly true that we
all patronize those who are doing well, in prefer
ence to those who are not. Why it is so, we are
not here to answer. But so it is, and will ever be.
Let no business man be afraid to pay out a por
tion of his profits to the printer; he will be snre
to get it back again, with interest.
lirgivlalarf.
By joint .resolution the Legislature will
adjourn sine die on to day, Tuesday, March
13th. Among the important measures actea
od during the post week were
THE STAY LAW.
This bill was vetoed by the Governor,
but immediately passed over the veto, in
both houses, by an almost unanimous vote.
It may be unconstitutional, but hundreds
of unconstitutional things were done du
ring the war, and it was these that made
the Stay Law absolutely necessary to save
our impoverished peop’c from hopeless
beggary. Arsenic is a very unhealthy
medicine, hut there are times when its ad
ministration has a wholesome effect on the
animal economy. It will never do to turn
the Sheriffloo6e on the people now. Not
one man in ten has property enough left
to pay all his debts, hut if allowed to pay
a part every year, he can with economy
and energy save both his creditor and him
self from ultimate injury, perhaps ruin.
THE HOMESTEAD BILL.
A substitute, for the original Bill, repor
ted by the conference committee, has been
adopted. It exempts about double the
amount of property at present exempted
by the Code. If it becomes a law, we
will publish it in our next issue. It is the
general opinion that the Governor will veto
it, as it is more open to the. objections ur
ged by the Governor, than the Stay Law.i Q of j e Passed.

We cannot let the occasion pass without ex
pressing our deep regret that this able defender
of the rights of the States, and the Constitution of
our fathers, should have been driven from his seat
in Congress by tbe party in power To make way
for Mr. Washburn, his political opponent, Con
gress has decided the claim of Mr. Voorbees to
his seat unfound.nl: Though fairly elected by his
constituents of the Eighth Congressional District
of Indiana, Mr. Washburn was deemed the better
man for the Radical majority. We have for yeare
past, published all the great intellectual efforts of
this distinguished man, commencing with his de
fence of Cook, on the John Brown trial—on w hich
occasion he only appeared to ask the mercy of the
Court in beflalf of the extreme youth of his client
—and on all other occasions, when he appeared as
the advocate of justice, right, and the princi
ples ol Republican Government; and we have
never been able to supply the readers of this pa
per with as many copies of Mr. Voorbees' speeches
as they desired. This of its'lf, is evidence of the
power and popularity of Mr. Yooihees in this sec
tion of the couutry. These are cruel times. The
best men are ostracised, and driven iufo exile by
the mere will of a remorseless fanaticism. The
day will come, and is not far off, when retributive
justice will mete out to these vindictive politi
cians the mensnre of their evil deeds. Mr. Voor-
heeswill, in less than two years stand where he
lately stood, re endorsed by his constituents, and
free to labor for the rights of tho white man and
the fundamental principles ofRepublican Govern
ment. For the present—he may rest content:

A Great Evil which Ihe People should cor-
•, ... cecfc
It is well known to all those acquainted with
legislation, that a great proportion of the most
importaut bills are passed iu the two or three las*
days of tbe Session. This is always, and per
haps, necessarily tbe care. But it is not perhaps
si well known to the people, that all these impor
tant bills are passed after n large number of the
numbers have gone home. It is a fact, a large
portion of the members go hams before the most
importaut business of the S.-.ssion is disposed of.
Members draw their pay for the whole Session,
and leave, some one, some two, and seine three
weeks before the close of the Session. When the
people of a county or district elect a man to rep
resent them, they expect of course that he should
he there during the Session. But when the mc-st
important laws are made, many counties and dis
tricts are not repres d. We know that men
are some times cullc„ home by providential
causes. These have a good excuse for their ab
sence, and wfde not wish our remarks to apply
to them- We mean those who go home without
any good excuse. Tbe people hereafter should
make a special contract with their representatives
that they shall stay until tho close of the'Ses
sion. unless providentially called home.
THl{ COUNTY COURT.
This is an important measure. It has
been passed in both houses, and awaits
the signature of the Governor. He will
no doubt approve the hill.
THE APPROPRIATION BILL.
This measure has also got through both
Houses. It will receive considerable at
tention from the press aud the people. It
scatters tbe public funds with a lavishness
inappropriate to the times and the con
dition of the people. Thousands of dol
lars are paid away for little' offices that
are about as necessary as a fifth wheel
would be to a wagon. When the people
come to swallow this pill they will make
ugly faces, and produce a disturbance that
may npset the equanimity of the Senators
-and Representatives who voted these ap
propriations.
BANK RELIEF.
This measure was defeated. There
were merits iu the hill that recommended
it to our favorable consideration. But it
is too late to touch upon them. The re-
suit of this legislation, will be much dis
honesty, some hardships, and many absen
ces from this part of the country. Men
will not see their property sold to pay a
gold dollar to a sharper who paid only ten
cents for the Bank bill asked to be redeem
ed.

Thr N/gro Troops to be, removed.—
Ex. Gov. Johnson's Mission, to Wash
ington City, on behalf of the citizens
of Columbus, has had some result.
He has written the following to the
Mayor of Columbus:
Washington, D. C., March 2, 1866.
Hon. F. G. Wilkins:
Dear Sir : I have had a short in
terview with the President, the Secre
tary of War and Gen. Grant, in rela
tion . to the removal of the colored
troops. I was assured by Gcd. Grant
that so soon as he could substitute
other troops, they should be removed
from the interior of the State; that, in
fact, such an order had already been
issued.
Yours truly,
J. Johnson.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, March 9th, 1866.—The
House hill securing civil rights to all per
sons without regard to color, in all the
States, was referred hack to the Judiciary
Committee. Many Republicans disagreed
as to the Constitutional power to pass it
iu its present shape, believing that it in
vaded to a great extent the rights of the
States.
The Senate discussed the Constitution
al amendment apportioning representation
among the States.
Mr. Henderson offered a substitute de
claring that no State, in prescribing quali
fications for voters, shall discriminate on
account of color or race. He said his own
State. Missouri, would give negro suffrage,
and that tbe whole South would be com
pelled to do so In five years.
Tbe substitute was disagreed to, and
tbe original resolution then rejected by a
vote of 25 to 22. Mr. Sumner aud other
Radicals voted against it.

•Tiiatl. Sterea’s Taller Gal on the Rampage!
The editor of the Lancaster Pa., Inteli-
gencer is in imminent danger. Hear what
he say8 :
Yesterday afternoon we were favored
with a visit from a “lady of high degree”
in this city. She claims to stand high in
social life, and is of the fashionable hue—
about the color of a new saddle. She has
long presided over the household affairs of
that grim old Mephistophelean septuagena
rian who so admirably iepresents the
sparce negro population of Lancaster coun
ty, and so completely misrepresents the
voters of this Congressional District, by
ignoring everything that seems to have
any relation to tbe white race.
We are proverbially polite, especially
to the ladies. Being a bachelor, we have
an amiable weakness that way. Whether
they may be maid, widow, or blooming
matron, we are always at their command.
Recognizing the voice which accosted us
from behind as that of a female, though it
was somewhat cracked, and a little harsh
withal, we turned around with our
courtliest smile. Judge, reader, of our
amazement when we saw before us a dingy
termagant, laboring under intense excite
ment, with eyes that flashed a vengeful
fire. A torrent of accusing words issued
from her lips. Wo were amazed, stunned,
stupefied. Before we could recover our

This valuable MANURE has been before the
agricultural public,under one name, for twelve
years past, and its character for vigor of action
and permanence in effect is well established. Be
fore the war it was introduced to some extent in
the Southern States, and was found to be highly
adapted to
Cotton, Tobacco and all Oops.
And as a perfect substitute for Peruvian Guano,
(afforded arless than one half the cost,) it lias been
adopted by agriculturists of known intelligence
and discrimination. It is warranted not to ex
haust the soil, but on the contrary permanently to
improve it. The sales now amount to many
thousand tons annually, and the facilities for its
manufacture are extensive and complete.
Pamphlet describing its distinctive claims may
be had on application to the. undersigned agent
of the manufacturers from whom the MANURE
may stall times be obtained.
Orders should be sent early to J. O. MATHEW-
