If the democratic party lias a majority in the Legislature it is hoped that it will peremptorily refuse to appropriate one dollar to carry out the radical plan of re moving the HUte Capital from Milledge ville to Atlanta. As the act of removal is purely legislative, the late Convention had not the shadow of a right to engraft it into the new Constitution. The question was sprung in the Convention after it met, and not a word was ever said to the people upon the subject while they were voting upon the question of calling that body together. And had that clause been sub mitted to them separately it would have been voted down by a hundred thousand majority. But it was tacked on the other provisions of that instrument and the whole document accepted. It Is certain that nine-tenths of the peo plf of Georgia, Democrats and Radicals, do not want the change made. There is no necessity for it. Atlanta has not the geographical advantages that Milledge viHe has—the one is no more accessible than the other. Atlanta, just emerged from ashes, has no public buildings in which to offer accommodations to the Hen ale and House of Representatives. The people of the State bankrupted, ruined, and without money, are at this time whol ly unable to withstand even the burtlieu- Home taxation Imposed upon them by the Federal and the State Governments. The idea of imposing a levy of two or three millions upon them now for this pur pose is not only folly, hut a crime. The Atlanta Era, in speaking of this removal, says: •• Tiie Constitution having been adopted l.y a large majority of (lie legal voters of Georgia, it henceforth becomes the organ ic law of the State, and under its provis ions Atlauta becomes the State Capital. This change of the seat of Government was introduced to a considerable extent l,y voluntary propositions made by the City Council. These propositions were accepted l.y the Convention in good faith, and it now remains for tlie city to make good ils part of the contract. There is no time to lose in getting ready for the meeting of the Legislature. liuildings have to he prepared for the two branches of the Legislature, a mansion for the Governor and olllces for the several departments of the State Government. " The people cordially approve the action of the Council in aii that it proposed to do to* induce the removal of the Capital liiilier, and they will now he satisfied with nothing less than the fulfillment of the agreement. The Legislature will meet in a short time, and unless Atlanta can make il ifortable, it has the constitutional authority to remove the seat of Govern ment, temporarily, to Milledgeville, or otherwise, if it sees lit. YVe deem, it ad visable to provide against such n contin gency. The meeting of the first Legisla ture under the new order of things ought to be held ill t lie new State Capital. There is no risk to run in providing for it ac cording to agreement. Atlanta is bound to be the Capital. The new Constitution will restore the State to the Union and the machinery will snou he working as regu larly ns if nothing had happened. Let our < 'if v Council, ttien, ne <SiS me aim, and sc' that it loses nothing by a lailure to fulfil its obligations.” When the Legislature assembles at At lanta, it is hoped by every man in Geor gia who does not wish this abominable scheme consummated, it will forthwith adjourn to Milledgeville, and persistently refuse to appropriate a cent lor the erec tion of new buildings in the would-be new capital. The measure can, and surely will tie, defeated in this way, or, at least, adjourned until that time when the real people of Georgia will speak forth in a voice of thunder, condemning this whole Radical government, from the first to the last clause of the infernal Constitution. It is not a government of their choice, hut mi imposition forced upon them by for eigners, hacked by Federal bayonets. It will not stand long, but, with its concoct ors, soon he buried in one common grave of infamy. IUI*I WIIING TIIE FRENI DENT-—CLO NING M'KNESk The telegraph yesterday announced that Bingham was making liis speech, which \v:is the last of the arguments u|>oii either side. Nothing more remains for tiie Sen ate to do but to wrangle a day or two over rule- mid motions, when the final vote will l>e taken whether Andrew Johnson shall longer act in the capacity of President of the United States. I’he leading journals of the United States seem to regard the result as a fore one conclusion, and say that the Senate, acting as a High Court of Impeachment, had made up its mind before tiie House presented tiie Articles. The readers of the proceedings from day to day cannot have failed to remark that the more violent Hadical Senators did not sit there as im partial jurors, hut as politicians who had already prejudged the ease. They houn ded on the proseeutors, at every step , and acted more in the capacity of prosecuting District Attorneys than impartial judges. Hie only tiling they seemed to know, was rtuu the success of the Radical pjy 'Jo-. mantled Mr. Johnson’s im^HTchment. Ihe beastly vulgarity and profanity of butler, the chief representative of tlie prosecution, has disgusted the whole coun • His coarseness was only eclipsed by bouncily and YVashburne, who, after ex hausting the catalogue of billingsgate upon each other, agreed to swallow the filthy se each one spit forth. And this is the N hate and House of Represenatives crea ed in tiie brains of Jellerson and Fratik ,lM ' :ui ‘l adorned by the mindsof Calhoun, plaster and Clay! Hie greatest and the only crime Mr. bii-on has committed, was his desertion the South at a time when it needed his 7 .ong arm and his eloquent voice. From a Northern stand-point he has certainly Oven true to the ITuiou. In the adminis tration of the Government he has been instantly guided by l aw and by prece m nt. Every President from the fouuda -1,1 of the Government exercised without 'lUestion, the right to remove his Cabinet “unseliors, and becauseh e attempted to remove Blanton, he is to be himself re moved.

I ''-r Uramie HERMAN ia 0,1 his . w »y l ° ®»eaf§w Bmtrnai and SrlUssettget, Resignation of Disraeli’s Ministry. It will be seen by a telegraphic dispatcli from London, that the Disraeli Ministry have resigned, and that ttie Queen sent for Mr. Gladstone, it is supposed, for the purpose of forming anew Cabinet. It is regarded aa a great triumph for the Liberal party of England, the pany of progress and reform, which now has as its leading feature the relief of unfortu nate Ireland from the intolerable burthen of supporting the High Church of the reulm, a church with which no Irishman lias tiie least sympathy. There is no doubt that the Fenians have produced this re sult. We are glad of it. The fallen Pre mier, Disraeli, is a narrow-minded, illib eral, cunning and bigoted politician —not unlike oneof our Northern radicals. Any one acquainted with the preseut liberal tendency of the British Government and the English people and the political char acter of the Prime Minister might have anticipated liis being set aside the first time a test question was voted upon. He was totally 7 unfit for the position. The Election Returns. —For some Strange ai>d unaccnnntatlu ruiuon wo have been unable to complete our table of the late Georgia election. The Third, Fourth and the Seventh Districts have been filled out, and Lite Second witli the exception of Mitchell county. Many counties in the First, Fifth ami Sixth have not been heard from, although during the cam paign it was repeatedly 7 requested of ('hair men of Democratic Clubs, and in the ab sence of such organizations, prominent Democrats to promptly send them to some newspaper office, or the Central Executive Committee. It is not too late yet to do so. We want complete returns from the fol lowing counties: Appling, Bullock, Tat nail, Colquitt, Clinch, Echols, Lowndes, Berrien, Mitchell, Glasscock, Pickens, While, Rabun, Towns, Union, Fannin and Gilmer. Should this paragraph meet the eye of any Democrat in any of these counties he will do the party a service by forwarding the vote to this office. From tlif* Savannah Republican, ltli. ■il ter men ( el llie Itemaliis el’ Judge Wayne. Tlie remains of Honorable James M. Wayne, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and for thirty three y 7 tars the presiding Judge of the Courts of this Circuit, were interred on last Friday, in Laurel Grove Cemetery. Judge Erskine, and the almost entire liar of the Circuit Court, were present, with a large attendance of the relatives and the friends of tlie deceased. While it would be simply a work of supererogation to dwell at this time upon the history and public character of Judge Wayne, made so familiar to all by his long public life, and by the eulogies which have been pronounced and written upon him since his death —yet the occurrence of Friday could not fail to revive the memory of the man himself, thus brought hack to the scene of his youth, to mingle his dust with that of the companions of his early years. He was one of a marked class of men— a class of which we have but few repre sentatives left —men who were developed in the earlier and better days of the re public— men whose consummate polish and refinement would well become the highest civilization. The extraordinary beauty of his person, and the winning grace of his bearing made Judge YVaynea marked man of the marked class to which he belonged. Ft can he questioned by no 1 -•«» l»lvw 4l*nt n•»ti ji <r manner of which we speak was the genial sunshine of a kind and sympathizing soul. No man had a braver spirit; no man a kindlier heart, and no man more energeti cally or more faithfully guarded the rights and interests of Georgia when committed to his charge. The late disastrous civil war found him upon the Supreme Bench of the United States. He differed from a majority of the people of his State as to the propriety of secession. That their misfortunes pierced, like cold iron, to his soul, all who knew him must also know. The disasters of his own people doubtless hastened the close of his life. But lie nevertheless lived sufficiently long to devote himself to the most assidu ous and untiring efforts in their behalf. The exaltei’ position which he held at Washington enabled him to serve them elliciently. Tothe application of no one did he ever turn a cold ear. The De partment of State, and of ttie Attorney General, and tie Executive Mansion, were familiarized vitli liis venerable form ; they were spots which knew him well, though they shall know him no more for ever. This work with him was indeed a work of love; and s»ed a tender glory around his descent t« the tomb. His native earth may well claim his dust. His heart was here; tnd here will liis memory be cherished. H. R. J. nto.n washiioyox. Special Dispatches to the N&v York Times. Washington, April 30. SAFETY OF RAILROAD PASSENGERS. The House Committee o» Roads and Canals, to whom was referret the subject of legislation for the additions safety of passengers on railroads, have igreed upon a report, which will shortly he submitted to Congress. They will report that it is unquestionably the right as wet as duty of Congress to pass laws prodding for the safety of passengers and for th> proper connection of roads. As to the tqnspor tation of passengers and freight, am as to tlie propriety of establishing unifotn and equitable rates of fare and charge for freight, the Committee do not th%»k it proper for Congress to interfere, u.less such charges are so exorbitant as t<> damage t lie freedom of commerce between the Stales. A bill will be report,i embodying the recommendations of 11. Committee. THE ARKANSAS CONSTITUTION. The certified .copy of the Constitution of Arkansas has Tieen received from the President of the Constitutional Conven tion of that State, and is now in the hands of the President. The official report of Gen. Gillem, giving the returns of the election, showing the Constitution to he adopted, was received by Gen. Grant to day. The certificate of the ratification by the legislature of the Constitutional amendment, known as the fourteenth article, was filed in the State Department to-day, and all the preliminaries required by the Reconstruction act, so far as the action of the State is concerned, having been complied with, the delegation now patiently await the issue of impeachment and the action of Congress on the admis sion of the State. The Constitution of the State of South Carolina was also received by President Johnson to-day, from Hon. A. G. Mackey, President of the Recon struction Convention, w ho presented it in person, with a brief address, as follows: Mr. President: In accordance with the instructions of the late Constitutional Convention of the State of South Carolina, over wiiich 1 had the honor to preside, and with the requirements of the Recon struction acts of the Congress of the United States, I present you the Constitu tion of South Carolina, as ratified by the vote of the great majority of her citizens at the late election. On receiving the document, which was neatly engrossed and carefully inclosed in an elaborate mahogauy box, the President remarked that it was apparently a very line instrument, and without further re mark the interview ended. Recent official returns from South Caro lina show that the white vote polled for the Constitution was fourteen thousand, instead of seven thousand, and was mainly composed of ex-Coufederate soldiers. TJIK OEOKUIA ELECTION. The fact that the Democrats have car ried the Georgia Legislature, thus securing the United States Seuators for that partj, creates a curious impression among the Democrats here. They don’t know wneth er to accept the result or not—not bein| entirely satisfied that sound tigs can bt gathered from such a political thistle as a Democratic legislature elected by a uni versal suffrage in an Ex-slave State. —1 The result was accomplished by the same machinery which gave the Governor f | Connecticut to the Democrats, and the Legislature to the Republicans. The Re publican majority of the State was mainly made up in a few counties of heavy ma jorities, while the Democrats carried a great many close counties by small ma jorities, thus securing their legislative ticket, but not overcoming the heavy Re publican counties. Some of the Georgians here, however, claim that they will have a small majority in the Legislature on joint ballot. Hon. Foster Blodgett, of Au | gusta, received a dispatch to-day which apparently strengthens their claim, as it contains a statement that the official majority for the Constitution will not fall short of 15,000, and that Bullock received nearly as large a vote for Governor, while there are unexpected gains in some of the legislative districts heretofore counted for tiie Conservatives. Opening Their Eyes.— The New York Express, iu au editorial on the election, says: “The negro vote in Georgia is sig nificant, and proves three things: First, that tiie more practical and intelligent the negroes are, tiie more they become disgusted with their deceivers, and tiie more readily they see through tlie selfish motives of those who would betray them. Secondly, they liegin to understand that bread to men who must either work or die, is more important than the ballot ; and finally, they see that thi» people with whom they have passed all their lives are better friends of the negroes, and under stand their condition better, than those who have squatted in the South merely to advance their own interests. We have but a beginning of this manifestation in the elections in Georgia ami North Caro lina; but tfie impression will grow, and may finally pervade the South.” ('<>l. John G. Coltart, of Huntsville, died in the Lunatic Asylum at Tuscaloosa, on the ltJtli ult., where ho had been taken a few weeks previous at his own request. He was Colonel of the 7th and 50th Ala bama Regiments, during the late war, and distinguished himself in several battles, especially that of Bentonville, North Caro lina, in which he commanded a division. Mr. Belmont, chairman of tlie National Democratic Committee, is said to he not in favor of an earlier day than that already fixed for the National Convention ; and it was understood in Washington, yesterday t Hat he will not call the committee togeth er for the purpose of making the change. THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1868. THE TIC VT <) VTil— II S IVI'X! I NCH ON Tin: HOMING lICGINI.VTi in:. lii view of the recent order of General Meade, and Lite generally accepted opinion based upon it, that all members elect to the Legislature will he required to take the test oath before taking their seats, it becomes important to know the el feel, which will be produced on such members elect as cannot take 11 1 is oath. Most if not all of the Democratic members elect will doubtless be deprived of their seats by this requisition, and t he question arises, will their defeated opponents in the late election be entitled to step into their va cated places? That this will he claimed as legitimate, is at present the apprehen sion of the Democrats and the avowed in tention of the Radicals. If law and rea son are consulted and obeyed by the authorities, however, this claim will not be supported, as it is here proposed briefly to show. This law and reason may all be summed up in this one sentence: No personal dis qualification of any one elected to office will entitle the defeated candidate to the „en. .. i-,»o n-r. will of an election for representative in a coun ty entitled to one representative. The candidate receiving the highest num ber of votes cast, is, under the law, duly elected. The votes by which he is elected are not only for him, but indirectly against his opponent. The object of the election is to ascertain (he choice of the people as expressed by a majority of voters. The defeated candidate does not represent sueli choice, and in this view cannot be enti tled to the office, even though the elected candidate be, for any reason, disqualified from enjoying the fruits of liis victory. By no rule of reason or justice could a re jected candidate be accepted by tiie au thorities as the representative. It would be far more reasonable, if more direct justice cannot be obtained by anew election, to appoint one who had not been a candi date. For he may have been'elected if he had run, and has not, as in the case of the defeated candidate, been pronounced against by the people at the ballot box. Fortunately we are not without precedents, for although tiie present disqualification with which Democratic legislators elect are threatened, is of that odious class only to l>e found in such distempered times as the present, yet there are many other kinds of disqualifications which have beeuof frequent occurrence in our past his tory. Tiie death of a successful candidate between the time of his election and go ing into office is au extreme case of his incapacity to discharge ils duties; it has often occurred, ami yet the instance is not on record where under such circumstan ces the defeated candidate has beer, de clared entitled to the office. The resigna tion of tiie member elect in tiie same in terval, has also occurred in our history, but never lias such resignation operated so as to seat tiie opposing candidate in the chair which is declined. Either the death or the resignation, although occurring previous to taking possession of the office, created a vacancy in tiie office, and the defeated candidate can only get possession «>< aii election to fill such v;u T q'p e election ol one not of the requi/te age is more analagous to (lie case uudf consideration. This has also happened in our history, and so far from being <-Aistrued as operating as an elec tion ojthe opposing candidate, it lias ne ver bnn construed as causing a vacancy in tlnpffice until the one elected resigns it. IQlie disqualification is temporary, he is ittitled to go into office when it cea ses oris removed. An instance of this kind orurred in tlie tiistory of the Tbir ty-sixti Congress. John Y. Brown was elflntedjto tiie House of Representatives from Kentucky, and at tiie opening of the session,was some months under twenty five yeav of age. This disqualification did mt qierate so as either to entitle his oppontutyo the office, or to create a va cancy. IV emild not of course take his seat befoA lie became twenty-five, hut whin thislge was attained, he was sworn inti office. (tie thin) is plain—both candieates can to* be eleded at the same election, and Hit person seceiving the majority of legal ’oles is elected So it will be found witli lut exception, that in all contesti-d elec ions the point is concerning the election, md the electors; never the qualification if the candidate. Was the election pro jerly conducted, and were the voters legal Vittrs, are the questions. If the suoees.-- M candidate obtained his majority by il- Pgtl votes, then the defeated candidate tp«ti proof of this fact is entitled to his fejj-i because he has in truth been elected I v l»ie; majority of legal voters. Rut the disqualification of the successful candi date cannot convert (lie defeatof his opjio nent into a victory. In our particular case the votes will he counted, and those receiving the requisite majorities will be proclaimed by General Meade eleeted, without reference to the MACON, GA„ TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1868. qualification or disqualification of the suc cessful candidates. The test can only be applied when the officers elect offer to take their seats. Those who cannot take this oath can, so soon as it is certainly ascer tained that it will be required of them, either resign and give their constituents an opportunity to supply their places, or stand aloof until the State Government has ceased to be provisional, when the disqualification will also have ceased. The latter course will, however, be extremely dangerous, as it will surrender the legisla tive power to the Radicals long enough to enable them to accomplish much of the devilment which we fear. YVe have no time to lose if we wish to be represented by Democrats at the beginning of the ses sion. We should without delay ascertain from Gen. Meade if all members of the legislature will be required to take the test oath. If the enquiry is put formally Im proper authority, he will doubtless give a definite, categorical answer. If the test oath is to he applied, all Democrats elect should promptly resign who cannot take it, so that an election may be had in time to enable those elected to he present at the opening of the session. YVe have lost al most everything by adherence to abstract principle and neglect of policy and com mon sense. Lotus not sacrifice the little that remains to a similar folly. DISGRACE!'I I. EXHIBITION. A “ country merchant ” recently visited New York City, and afterwards gave his opinion, through the press of that city, re specting such exhibitions as the White Fawn and Black Crook. Tiie following is an extract, which ladies may read to edification. “Every man who goes to such a place at once looks to the ladies in the audience, for lie wonders what it is that can be at tractive to their eyes. To every man t lie first sight is repulsive,and it can be no less so to a woman. The change in the mind seems to come gradually, and by a process simi lar to acquiring a liking for unnatural, or even disgusting stimulants. We know a little, but perhaps enough, of magnetic influences, and it is not improbable that a woman’s ideas in such a place are second hand. In casting my glass around the audience, near the close of oneof the most noted di-plays, I saw several ladies with trembling lips, but in a moment limy as sumed their accustomed firmness, final ly, with little beauty and less meaning, with a confusion of fern leaves, a reclin ing of partly mule figures, of ascending and descending designs, and amid a gleaming and glare of various colored lights, tiie curtain fell on the infam ous scene. Half stilled by (lie close air, choked and partly benumbed, the audi ence slid away like a guilty throng, many huskily remarking to others upon the splendor of tiie closing view. “Tiie intention of the managers un doubtedly is to make money, and, having studied human nature, they found it easiest to debauch it. One of my first impressions on beholding so many y-ouug women capable of adorning society, and being made happy, yet so lost to shame, was that they felt it would lie a greater shame to earn an honest living, or that they hail sought it in vain. Turning to the audience, l could not help thinking that each had a poor opinion of each. Tiie lady coming in with a gentleman either had been cold to her husl-tnd, or had left him, or was in a fair way to leave him, or she had never been married, but had better be; that gentleman bringing a lady whose train swept tiie aisle had other claims far away, or liis domestic life was feverish and unhappy; and the U...U, vy,,-.,. I .»£, I .J, tl.omciptvoS, had come to lay the foundation for domestic infidelity, and for a waste of opportunities and means. The saddest sight was in the young couples with rosy cheeks and hope ful eyes. How many sittings are required to corrupt a young girl I do not know; hut I feel that no place can equal this for debauching the soul, and that when a girl, at last, is delighted with these scenes, her day of ruin cannot he far away. For, be fore one comes to admire these tilings, the finest sensibilities must be shocked be yond expression, and modesty—that es pecial jewel of the human soul —must be degraded to tiie dust. To sit in that place hour after hour calls into being such a feeling as uever arises in any intercourse between those who love, and who hope to he united, or between those who have been united long, anil it is unknown in any other condition of life. I would liken it to a mephitic vapor from the sea of torment amt death, which finds an unguarded entrance to the soul, and wanders from cell to cell in tiie remote and profound depths of our being, till at last it comes into time and the present, and grapples with all the sweet charities of the heart.” “Absolutely Alone.”—Some of the papers having expressed surprise at the facility with which the impeachment of the Chief Magistrate of the nation pro ceeds, the New York Times thus ac counts for it: “What makes Mr. Johhson’s impeach ment and expulsion safe and tranquil, is the fact that he has no party to sustain him. He has absolutely no hold upon the people or upon any part or any section of the country. H<> alienated the Republi cans when he refused to accept their plan of reconstruction. He refused to seek or accept the alliance of the Democrats, or to give them control of his policy or his patronage. He alternately invited and repelled t lie favor of the Southern whites, and he stands now without the support or confidence of any section. No Chief Mag istrate, while in the office, ever stooii more absolutely alone.” 11 is the old story of the man who, in en deavoring to please everybody, pleased no body. When Mr. Johnston abandoned the Radical party, he ought then and tlier to have dismissed Stanton and every other obnoxious member of his Cabinet, and made a clean sweep of Radical office-hold ers from Foreign Ministers down to Post masters. He would by this stroke have raised up a powerful party of friends all over the country who would, in his hour of trouble, have rallied to his assistance. By his baiting, hesitating policy, he dis played a weakness wiiich was quickly taken advantage of by Congress, and the temire-of-office law, which has given him so much trouble, passed. Had lie knocked radicalism in the head, right and left, ail around the country, by kicking its dis ci pies out of office, nothing would be said to-day about impeachment. But he kept his enemies in his household, and they of course played the role of traitors and spies. A man ought never to hesitate a moment between rewarding his friends and his enemies. The Radical Candidate for Presi dent.—lt is next to a certain fact that Grant will be the radical candidate for President. He will be nominated by the Chicago Convention without any serious opposition. All opposition to his nomi nation is either passive or entirely silent. The little influence Chase has with the party has been lost since lie became Judge of the Impeachment Court. He has, u|xm several occasions during the trial of the President, given impartial de cisions, ami that was enough to settle his claims with the radicals. He has been suggested as the candidate of the demo cratic party, but the idea is simply ridicu lons. The democratic party has always preserved its purity and integrity hv re fusing to nominate other than straight out, unqualified members of the party.— The idea of taking up a man from the opposition because he can bring over some strength is ha I policy, for the reason that more is sure to he lost in the party whose candidate he becomes than is gained.* The Letikk of H. L. Backus.— The letter of H. L. Backus, published yester day morning, contained a false imputa tion in the heading, or that portion of it which read, “Letter from a Hartford Re pultlican.” Mr. B. informs us that he lias always been a Conservative in hia po litical principles, and, as the reader might infer from his communication, has not the remotest sympathy for the radical party and has none other than the strongest feelings of disgust for the strolling North ern vagabonds and rapscallions who are now endeavoring to fill the public offices in the South. The Hartford Evening I'ost, a violent radical paper, severely criticised this let ter. It was published iu all the Democra tic papers of that State, just before the late election, and had a powerful influence in the election of tiie Democratic candidate for Governor. The following extract is from the Post: A Bogus Republican.— Some of the Democratic State papers are republishing the letter which recently appeared in the Hartford Times, signed “H. L. Backus,” and wtiTMi WHs headed, “Letter from a Hartford Republican.” If he was ever a Kepublieau it is not, generally known. Last year, at any rate, lie sent letters to the Times, which appeared in that sheet, of a character similar to the one now pub lished. Ifit is admitted that lie did once vote tiie Republican ticket, we certainly hope that one virtue will not be suffered to cling to the young man as a permanent recommendation of good character among the evil associations into which, by liis own confession, lie is now thrown. The Gen. Mower Scandal —The pa pers are lumbered with the story of Gen. Mower’s daughter and a negro of liis com mand, and many of them express surprise and indignation at the presumption of the colored fellow. Bless your souls, gentle men, there is nothing remarkable about this case whatever! When a white man joins the Radical party he virtually throws open the door of liis parlor to colored visi tors. 1 f heassociates upon termsof equality with the negro, what right on earth hits lie to deny his wife and daughter the same privilege? In following his ex ample the daughter has a perfect right to marry her colored sweetheart, and the colored man and brother would be showing the basest ingratitude if denied this in estimable privilege. GREAT Bit IT A IN. Di bate in the House of Commons on the Irish Church—Division and In feed of the. Ministry. London, Friday, May 1. In the debate on the Irish Church iti the House of Commons last night , Mr. Wal pole, in the course of his remarks in oppo sition to Mr. Gladstone’s resolves, said these attacks on a Ciergy, such as that of the Irish Clnirli, who were noted for the purity of tiieir doctrine and for their ele vated learning and Christian zeal, was sure to lead to the most disastrous results. Lord Elcho said that tiie introduction of these resolves at tiie present time was un necessary and unfortunate. The Roman Catholics of Ireland would never be satis fied with anything short of supremacy in ecclesiastical matters. He regarded the issue presented to the House as an imperial one; for the Church Establishments of England and of Scotland were menaced as well asthatof Ireland. These blows were struck at the whole system of the union of Church and State in the United King dom. At a rather late hour, in the presence of a full House, there being an unusual at tendance of members of both parlies in expectation of a division, Mr. Gladstone i rose and was loudly cheered. He com- | inenced by saying that lie could not com- j plain of tiie result of this long debate. — j These eleven nights of discussion had fully demonstrated that the Irish Church , Establishment never did, and never could, fulfill the end of its creation. It was not : the Cliuach of the nation, it was not the ■ Church of tiie poor, nor was it a mission- j ary Church. It existed only for the purpose of sustaining political supremacy i on a form most hateful to the people upon which it was imposed. This was unen durable. No Minister dared to say that it should continue to exist. Now was the time to apply tiie remedy. The Minis ters had raised tiie question, and had broached a policy in regard to it upon which they subsequently failed to agree. He would say nothing concerning the disposal of the Church property in Ire land ; for more and better information was needed on a question involving inter ests so extensive. Our duty now was to accotd justice to Ireland. Mr. Gladstone then, alluding to the personal attacks which, had been made j upon him, denied most explicit ' manner that he had any connection with, j or interest in, the policy or plans of either the Ritualists on the one hand or the Ro man Catholics on the other. Discussing the arguments made against liis proposi tions, lie said two leading objections had been made to his plan for the disestablish - ment of the Irish Church. One was that j it imperiled the'existence of the Establish ed Church of England ; the other objec tion was that the time was inopportune. Ten years ago, said Mr. Gladstone, the people of Great Britain were iudilTerent, aud then tiie introduction of a great re form would have been untimely ; now the people were aroused, and the opportunity presented itself for an early and sound settlement of the question. The strength of tiie Church of England lay in her own merits and in tiie voluntary zeal of her votaries, far more than in her connection with the State. He expressed the belief that the Church of England would lose none of her strength, even if parted from the State. She had more to fear from tier partisans than from her foes, and the re form of the Irish Established Chnrch would strengthen the Church of England. Mr. Disraeli then rose amid the excited cheers of the House to reply to Mr. Glad stone and close the debate. He deplored the act of injustice contemplated by these resolves. It was an act which Involved wide confiscation of property, ami men aced the rights of every corporation and every person in the United Kingdom. It inevitably must predispose the public mind for a similar attack upon the Church of England, and it undoubtedly was in tended to have such influence. In spite of the virulence of the Dress, aud the pressure brought to bear by the advocates of change, he firmly believed tiie English people would never sanction the sacrifice of sacred things to party necessities, lead ing, as it was sure to lead, to results only to be described as revolutionary. At 2:30 o’clock this morning the House divided on tiie first of Mr. Gladstone’s re solves, and the count stood as follows: For tlic resolve IK-10 Against tlic resolve -.235 Majority 65 The announcement of the result was re ceived with loud and profound cheering from the Liberal benches. Mr. Disraeli then rose, and, amid the most profound silence, said this decision so altered tiie relations of the Ministry and the House of Commons, that the Government needed lime to consider what action it would take. He accord ingly moved that the House adjourn until Monday. The motion was carried and the House adjourned. THE COMMENTS OF THE PRESS ON THE DIVISION. London, Friday, May I—Noon. Tiie London pa|>ers, this morning, com ment at length on the debates, and gene rally consider the division a decisive one. The Times says no one can deny the im mense significance of this event. Since the motion to go into (tommittee the To ries have gained three seats in tiie Com mons ; yet, the sixty majority has grown to be sixty- six. A dissolution is talked of merely to frighten members. The H> raid says the House of Commons by a vote, the importaueeof which cannot be denied, affirms that the Irish Church siiould.be disestablished, but tiie House of Commons does not speak the voice of the country, as the late elections show. The Daily Metes says that it is satisfacto ry to find that the Premier disclaims the design of advising the Queen to act against tiie vote of the House of Commons. His duty is not to dissolve Parliament or re sign, hut to aid the progress of the resolves. The Standard deprecates the vote ol want of confidence as compelling a disso lution, but fears that the liberals intend to pursue that course. From the Milledgeville Union, Central Railroad Si-liedule Iroin .tlllledge ville to .Vlacou. Messrs. Editors; Can’t you intercede with the President of the Central Railroad and get him to give us a different schedule between this place aud Macon? Under this schedule, if we desire to go to Atlanta, we have to remain in Macon from SI 45 a. m., until 840 p. m.—all day. If we desire logo to Butler, Taibot, Columbus or beyond we have to remain in Macon until 2 1-2 a. in.—all day and part of the night, and if we desire to go over the Southwestern Road to Americus or,below, we have to re main until about 8 o’clock the next morn ing. Returning from Columbus, we have to remain from 8 40p. m. to 415 p. in. next day, and from Americus, Ac., from 4 30 p m. to 4 15 next day. To go a trip and re turn of 100 miles from Milledgeville and Beyond Macon on the Southwestern and Muscogee Roads, one is detained in Macon two days and his hotel hill in JST at Maoon atone. Now is not this shameful? The President of the Central Railroad may practice for a week and he caunot fix the schedule more oppressive to the travelling public going beyond Macon than this one. Itconuects with no train whatever, except the morniugdown train to Savannah. As passengers are detained in Macon, so are the mails by this arrangement. Then tvhut is the t>est schedule? 1 think the schedule iu use two or three months ago the best we have had in several years. It was to leave Milledgeville at 4 45 p. m., and return at i> o’clock p. m. This con nected closely or as nearly as possible witli all the Roads leading out of Macon —but lately the Central night down train has been detained in Macon two hours later. Then why not again adopt this old sched ule, with the the exception that the cars reach Milledgeville at 11 o'clock at night instead of ■> o’clock. Rut few persons get tiieir mails at night. Really Mr. Wad ley ought to take some compassion on us and give us a better schedule than the present one. A Citizen and Traveler. 1 rr - T - 11 a—— FRIDAY, MAY S. 1868. I'OI.ITK AI. « IIAUAUTim Ol ’I UK N EAT IiKG ISI.ATCTIII-:. Our democratic cotemporaries claim that we have returned a clear working majority of ten on joint ballot to the next Legislature. The House will certainly be democratic, but there is some doubt about the Senate, they say. But we have little doubt about either branch, for many can didates elected on Ihe radical ticket have little or no sympathy for that party, and will he conservative in all essential particulars. So that if Bullock is elected he wilt be checkmated by the Legislature, while the democrats will secure the elec tion of two United States Senators, which is just now of great importance to Georgia and the South. It is not to be supposed that the radicals will vote for any candi date for Senator who is not inimical to the white race. The patronage and power given to the Governor by the new Constitution tran scends that of the Queen of England. Every door for corruption is thrown wide open, and the people seem to have sur rendered nearly all their reserved rights to the Governor of their State. This is iu keeping with the.spirit of the times. We are running with lightning rapidity into the very worst forms of despotism. The cry of universal liberty is only a cloak to hide the real design. Despotism is the real point to lie reached. Everything tends to the concentration of all power at the Federal and State Capitals. But when that is attained there will be a reaction. Like electricity when gathered and com pacted in the thunder cloud, a terrific ex plosion which will shake (he earth is sure to follow. it is the duty of every good and true re publican citizen to resist these evil ten dencies of the times with all the energy he can control. It will therefore be tlie duty of the democratic members of the Legislature to stand true to their country. They need entertain no doubt about tiie people sustaining them in tiieir work of resisting Hie diabolical designs of ttie radical party. A reaction will come over this State at the next election wiiich will sweep that party from all positions of power aud trust. Indeed were anew elec tion to come oil'to-morrow the democratic party would carry the State by countless thousands. TIIE I,ATE GEORGIA ELECTION. The following is the summing up of the Atlanta Era of the late election. Any one acquainted with the character of that Radical and purely political newspaper will not be disposed to place much reliance iu the statement: Constitution. Uovkknok. K»»r. AifMus:. Bulloek.

Ttie Senate stands 26 Republicans, against is opposition aud doubtful, and the House 9(1 Republicans, 79 opposition and doubt ful, giving a clear, reliable working ma jority of 25 on joint buliot, even granting that all the opposition and doubtful mem bers are eligible. Our friends in the State and elsewhere are assured that all investigations will re sult to the advantage of (lie Republican party, and increase its strength, notwith standing the threats aud defiant attitude of the opposition. The victory is com ple and decisive, and lienee entirely satis factory to the victors. The Legislature.—The Columbus En</uirer writes the following closing par agraph to an article on the complexion of the Legislature: Since writing the above we have re ceived the Atlanta New Era of the Gtli, and learn from it that the counties of Emanuel, Bulloch, Tatnall, and YVare have all elected Democratic Representa tives, as we estimated above that they would; and that the counties of Effing ham, Rabun, aud Union, which are among the five or six in which we said the Democrats had as good a chance as tiie Radicals, have also elected Democrats. So we now have 81 Democrats sure, with Berrien and Montgomery, that have given majorities for Gordon, anil Jelfair and Irwin, in which the election has not been held, but which are considered certain for tiie Democrats, yet to hear from. Besides these, there is the Representative from C.'ofl'ee, whom the Era designates as “neu tral.” but whose county gave majorities against the Constitution and for Gordon aud Fiteb, and the county of Elbert, electing a Democrat, which we had omit ted in our table. A majority of the House is 88, and we believe that the Democratic figure will be “tliar or tharabouts.” Taking into consideration the fact that a great many men elected on the Radical ticket will not act with that party, wo need entertain no fears of Hie Radical party’s controlling that lody. YY’ho is Elected Governor?— Y\ f e do not yet give up the election of Gen. John B. Gordon Governor of Georgia. If the many bogus and fraudulent tickets which will be returned to the Board of Super visors appointed by General Meade are thrown out, his election is certain. The gasconade of Bullock’s organs about liis election by from five to ten thousand ma jority amounts to nothing more than gasconade. It certainly does not elect their candidate. Our friends everywhere are urged to for ward all the evidence they jiossess to this Board. They should act most promptly, as the work of counting and examining the returns will commence in a very few days, and this evidence is very essential in securing au honest aud faithful count. The State Capital—Radicals Op posed to its Removal. —As reckless as the Radical politicians of Georgia arc, they are not yet quite prepared to endorse the monstrous proposition to remove the State Capital Qom Milledgeville to At lanta. Ttie Augusta Republican says : “There seems to have been no prepara tions made as yet for the mooting of the Legislature in Atlanta. There is nothing to prevent Milledgeville remaining the seat of government until such arrange ments as the people of Atlanta have prom ised to make have been made. In view of the embarrassed condition of the finances of the State, and other considera tions, it is to be hoped that Milledgeville will remain ttie seat of government until ttie stipulations proposed by the Atlanta people are fulfilled. The people of Fulton county do not seem very heartily to up predate the benefits of having the ('apiial at Atlanta, if we may judge by the way they voted at the recent election. Augusta did a thousand limes better.” Jeff. Davis on the Right Side of the Link. — YY'e learn from Richmond that the bail'bond of Jell'. Davis would he renewed yesterday; that Davis will not appear in person ; that his trial will prob ably be fixed for the last day of May or the Ist ol June, when it will certainly take place. The important point of this intel ligence is this—that “Davis will not. ap pear In person.” He is in Canada, lie is safe over there from the wrath of Ben YVade, and there we would advise him to stay; for if brought in person totrial after the removal of President Johnson his chances for escape wilt lie slim indeed. His conviction and execution will he nec essary to the Radicals to save appearances in reference to Johnson's removal. — N. Y. Herald. Any one acquainted with the character of Mr. Davis knows that he would scorn such advice. No one would dare suggest it to him in person. ItiwiN and Telfair Counties.- -YVe call General Meade’s special attention to the fact that no election was held in either oneof these counties, as the Registrars failed to open the polls. The people there are bound to elect county officers, and have a perfect and unquestioned right to vote upon the Constitution, for Governor, and for members of the Legislature. That the election was not held at the proper time was no fault of theirs. Y\ r e hope ho will at once issue a special order to this efiect. It would he nothing more than an act of justice. Lieutenant General Sherman an nounces that the Armies of the Tennessee, Cumberland, Ohio and Georgia, will meet together iu Chicago on the 15th and 16th of December next. '1 he obj<et is purely social, and the design is to preserve the memories and friendships of the war. Addresses will he delivered on tiie evening of the first day, and a grand banquet will be given on the night of the 16th. Tiie Latest News from Mexico. The principal items in the latest tele graphic news from Mexico attest the pro longed disturbance which torments that beautiful but unhappy country. The re bellion of General Negrete is still uusup pressed. Canales is reported as being about to make common cause with Negrete and also as having been successful iu a re cent fight. The name of Aureliano Rivera is connected with wild rumors of fresh pronuneittmienloH. The insurrection at J’erote had a horrible end, maiming hav ing been resorted to in the execution of the insurgents. This incident suffices to show how very far behind the spirit of the age the semi-barbarous Mexicans are. The rumors of Minister Romero’s resignation are renewed. Tiie course of Congress in dicates a lost prestige on the part of I’res ident Jaurez, who will find it difficult, says our correspondent, to surmount the elements of the opposition without exert ing authoritative pressure. A communi cation Iroin General J. G. Ortega, dated at liis prison in Monterey and signed as President ad interim , has been published. Our readers are aware of his claims to the title, which heassumes as being asuccesor to Hie Presidency, according to the Mexi can constitution, by virtue of liis former office as Chief Justice. The utter social disorganization of Mexico is illustrated by the facts that Henor Calixto, tiie younger, tiad been kidnapped and held to ransom for ten thousand dollars; that Mr. Branfl', one of tiie conductors of the Vera Cruz Railway, had his skull fractured in a light witli some bandits wtio attacked the building party, and that Mr. Sauluier, the American (,'onsul at Y'era Cruz, while on a mission to tiie interior recently, was at tacked by banditti. But Mr. Sauluier drew his revolver and asserted that to wns au American Consul, whereupon the highwaymen desisted and saw the Consul sale oil liis way. Our telegram does not mention that lie may also have invoked in liis behalf the “occult influence” of the JJeKttd, of which lie was formerly a cor respondent. But we arc glad to learn that even the Mexican banditti are begin ning to respect t lie authority of the Ameri ean flag. Minister Romero is accused of being at the head of a “short corner” in | Mexican securities, attempted by sending agents to the United .States by i lie Mexi- ; can Treatury Department for the purpose of depreciating the bonds of that republic so as to buy them at a reduced rate. The troubles in Sinaloa were to he put down with vigor. General Corona was levying forced loans on the foreign merchants to pay his troops, and General Martinez had virtually abandoned liis own cause, so that what Alatorre did in Yucatan will be re peated by Corona in Sinaloa. In line, the same financial, political and social chaos seems to exist in Mexico which we have lately had so frequent occasion to notice, and out of which order, wealth and prosperity will probably not emerge until the “great republic” shall have absorbed tiie “so-called” republic of Mexico. New York Herald ’. Mr. Nelson ’£ Alarm.— Mr. Nelson, the counsel for the President, is as uneasy iu regard to Butler as Senator Sumner is; hut iiis uneasiness is of another sort. — Sumner smells gunpowder, hut Nelson has his thoughts on spoons. Sumner sees the fierce and bloody-minded Butler lead ing up his powuer ship to the groat con cussion and says to himself, “YY’hutwill this man not do?” Nelson sees Butler as the hero of New Orlens ; he hears injured housekeepers crying out for missing silver on Butler’s departure, and he muses, “ What will not this man take and keep?” Thus the figure of Butler, as conjured up in the mind of Nelson, is quite dissimilar from that conjured up in the timid soul of sumner ; and Nelson, in refusing to trust | his “ original papers ” in Butler’s hands without calling public notice to the cir cumstanee, proves that he best understands the hero of all the battles of the war.—A'.

LX., NO. 10 r,, i' ait v ssi hi an war. Jftxtory of King Tfietxiorr— Origin <>f ifc War. .King Theodores or Theodore of Abvs smia, with whoso name and recent histo , TV every render of newspapers throughout the world has become familiar in eonse ! quenceof his war with England, lias been | slain at tt.e storming of his capital, Mag ; ihda, by the English armv, as lias been I announced t»y the telegraph. The origi nal name of riieodore was Dejajuiatch I Kasai. Ke was born of humble parentage ; in Quarel, on the borders of Western Am bare, and was educated in a convent, in | which he was placed under restraint by ] Ilia mother. He eseai>ed from the convent to his uncle, Dejutch t'amfu, a noted reliel, with whom he imbibed a taste for warlike pursuits, and eventually became ruler of a large portion of Abyssinia. Naturally ambitious and politic, he succeeded in en larging his authority steadily at tin- ex pense of the other “lias” 'or Chiefs of Abyssinia. His power especially increas ed when in 1853 lie defeated his father-in law, lias Ali, and took him prisoner. At length in 1555 lie felt himself strongeiiough to formally claim the throne of all Abvs «iilia, and lie was crowned as such by the A buna Salama, tin- bead oftlie Abyssinian Church. His reign soon proved to be tiie most effective Abyssinia.had ever had. Vs soon as he came into power his attention was directed to the im;« irtains* of I icing on terms of friendship with tlie governs meut which rules India, and which has established itself in the neightioriug strong hold of Aden. He, therefore, iv-oleed to assert the rights assured to him by virtue ot the treaty made between Great liritain and Abyssinia in the year lspi, and ratified in lSoi’, in which it was stipulated that each Mateshould receive embassadors from the other. Mr. l’lowden, who had been for mauv years English Consul at Mas-owah, al though not an accredited agent to Abys sinia, went to that country with presents for the people in authority, and remained during a war which broke out. at the ac cession of Theodore. Unfortunately Mr. Plowden, who bad succeeded in winning the favor of the Emperor to a large extent, was killed, and his successor, Mr. Came ron, was in loti ned soon after his arrival in listij, by tiie king, that lie desired to carry out the above mentioned treaty ; lie cvcii wrote an autograph letter to(Jut on Victo ria, asking permission to send an cml UIKHV to London. Although the letter readied England in February, it remained unanswered; and the supposition is that this circumstance, together with a quarrel with Mr. .stern, a missionary, who, in a boo Iron Abyssinia, bad apoken disresjieet lully ol tiie king, and who bad rcniou strated against tlm Hogging to death of two interpreters, roused the king’s temper, and a year after having despatched the unanswered letter, lie sent an armed force to the missionary station, seized the mis sionaries, and put them in chains, lie also cast Mr. Cameron into prison, and bad him chained continually to an Abys sinian soldier. Great excitement prevail ed in England ou the arrival of the news of this outrage against Kritisli subjects; but in consideration of an armed expedi tion having to undergo many hardships in such a warm climate, it was deemed best by the English Government to imo diplomacy in its efforts to have the pris oners released. It was not until the second half of Au gust, l.sUo, that Mr. ltassam, an Asiatic by birth, was sent on a special mission to tho Abyssinian potentate, and was received on his arrival in February, 1 in a truly magnilicient style, the release of the pris oners being at once ordered by the King, lint the hope thus raised was soon to bo disappointed, for when Mr. Ilnssam and the oilier prisoners were just on the point of taking leave oftlie emperor, they wero put under arrest and notified that they would have to remain in the country as State guests until an answer could be oh tained to another letter which the king was going to write to the tjueen. Jlypoc ’ risy, falseness and mendacity seem to have taken a prominent part in the character of King Theodore, for while he, in nn unc tuous letter to the tjueeti, ostensibly at tributed the detention of Mr. Hussain to bis wish of consulting with him in what way the friendly relations of the English arid Abyssinian monarchies might behest extended, he treated (lie prisoners with leniency only for a short period, and soon used rigorous measures towards bis vic tims. Asa reason for bis change of con duct, lie afterwards gave an alleged report that English, French, and Tuiki-h troops were on their way to invade Abyssinia. Theodore's letter was conveyed to Eng land by Mr. Klad,a German missionary, who was also the bearer of a letter from Mr. ltassam, in which tic requested that English artisans be sent ( > engage in the Abyssinian service. Tiie English Gov ernment engaged some artisans for the service, and having sent them to the Coast of Abyssinia, notified the king that they would enter his territory if lie would pre viously liberate the captives. The condi tions being not complied with,(liearti-aus returned to England. Alter exhausting all diplomatic resources to obtain from Theodore the release of the captives, the English government last year declared war against Theodore. The war was chiefly to be carried on with the t loops, European and native, which in India laid become accustomed to the hot climate.- The first English troops made their ap pearance in October, lso7, but it was not until the dose of Ihe year that the whole of the army arrived. The expedition was commanded by Gctieial .Sir Hubert Napier, heretofore Commanding-General at l!om bay. Under him acted as commanders ol divisions, Sir Charles Sucvely and Col. Malcolm, while Colonel Mercwether com manded the cavalry. The distance from Mas-owah, the land ing place of the troops, to Magdala, the capital of Theodore, is about .'loo miles. — The English hud io overcome great diffi culties, but they have overcome them with remarkable energy. King Theodore grad ually retired before the English without risking a battle until lie reached his capi tal. Then he made a stand and fought bravely for Ins crown, but in vain; lie was defeated, the capital captured and the king himself slain. King Theodore was, on the whole, the greatest ruler Abys niia has ever bad ; even according to English accounts, lie excelled in all ujuuJy pur suits, and Ids general manner was polite and engaging. Had lie avoided this fool ish quarrel with England, and proceeded on the way of reform which lie entered upon in the beginning of bis reign, he would probably have played an important part in the political regeneration of East ern Africa.
