GEORGIA RECONSTRUCTED.
We give ityiSfcier column in this
issue t lie Georgia Reconstruction
Bill as it finally passed bothTlouses
and was presented To the President
lor signature. hoped that
action ia the matter, on the part of
Congress, would be deferrecr until
after the meeting of the Legislature,
but we failed to comprehend the full
extent of the madness and rascality
of the day. A gieat many are pre
suming to advise as to our future
O
course ; we offer no advice, but sim
ply say, if we were members of t:;e
Legislature and inelligablc under the
recent act of Congress, we would re
sign at once. Every member knows
his own case, and after reading the
act c&n determine as to bis eligibili
ty. We would resign to prevent any
action by the Legislature as to the
question of eligibility. Il the
members return to the Legislature
and tak<i or offer to their seats, the
Legislaflre .will pass upon the ques
tioti of eligibility by applying the
test oath contained in the bill, and if
ineligible, those who receiv
ed the next highest at the elec
tion will, urjjder the code, be allowed
to take their ?eats. But if the mem
bers who are ineligible resign at
Once, no action can be taken by the
Legislature upon that question ; be
cause a vacancy will exist, and anew
election will have to be held to fill
their places. If there is a vacancy
of course no election can be taken,
because there is no one for the Legis
lature to take jurisdiction of.
'The question then addresses itself
to every one, which is best; to risk
the action of the Legislature under
the control of the Governor, backed
up by Federal bayonets as he will be,
or risk anew election. For ourselves,
we say, have anew election to fill the
seats of all who are inelligible under
the bill. Jttk
!frr Below we celebrated
Fifteenth Amendment about which
there has been so much excitement
and controversy in the Western and
J tarn year.
It now seems to be a fixed fact that
by Congressional usurpation it is to
become a part of the Federal Consti
tution. Georgia is required absolute
ly to adopt it before her members of
Congress can be admitted to seats.
It was plain to be seen from the ac
tion of the other States, that the re
quired number could not be obtained
to secure its adoption, and Congress
has applied the bayonets to the South
ern States to accomplish this object.
It is short, hut full of persecution
and tyrany. Bead it:
ARTICLE XV
Section I The right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States, or by any
State, on account of race color or previous
condition of servitude.
Seo. IL The Congress shall have power
to enforce this article by appropriate legist
lation.
LANDS.
We are glad to see from the re
ports from different sections of the
State that lands have rapidly in
creased in value within the last year.
This is a very good indication of the
prosperity of our people. Lands in
Decatur county are reported to have
sold receutlv at from $6,00 to $12,00
per acre. In Hancock county from
to $7,00 per acre. In Pike
county as high as $16,00 per acre.
In this, Upson county, on the first
Tuesday in this month, lands at ad
ministrator's ...sale, near town said
for $20,00 per,acre. On the same
day lands were rented by an •admin
istrator at public outcry and brought
$6,50 per acre. The people are
rapidly recovering from the shock of
the late war, and if let alone will
soon pay up or otherwise settle their
old debts and be more prosperous
than ever. We predict that in five
years from now the average lands of
Upson county cannot be bought for
less than $25,00 per acre. .
A yor.g gentleman, four years okl,
recently threw his niateral relatives
into a fit of admiration by the follow
ing speech: “I like'most all kinds of

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
Parker Pillsburry has been down
South, as we learn from the World
of the 16th, and does not like the
looks of things. lie does not take
kind’y to the inajjfand brother/’ Lik#
every fanatic who was zealous in the
cause of abolitionism, this man after
contributing largely in bringing about
the freedom of the slaves, now turns
artraml slanders them. We
agree with him fully tbit tlm
ballot should not bo forced upon
these people, because -of their igno
rance and inability to weild it intel
ligently. But we cannot agree with
him in his report of their condition.
Ills report is untrue-mnd a base slan
der of the colored people. a
general thing the colored people have
surpassed the most sanguine expecta
tions of their abolition friends. They
are getting to bo industrious, each
one trying to support his family in
as good style as bis means willj>ear;
and marriage now greater
extent among the enlightened, people
of Boat >n even than among the
blacks in this country. And the
blacks, botli men and women, ar%
more faithful to their marital
tions than the whites of Boston or
Chicago, if the newspaper reports be
true. The crime of infanUfcide is not
near so common as among the whites
in New York or Boston. Indeed;
such a crime is almost unknown un
less it be on some of the islands of
the sea-board, which have been aban
doned entirely by the whites of the
South, and the blacks—the dirty,
ignorant, salt-water negres are left
alone to inhabit them.
Yet Pillsbury denounces and slan
ders the blacks generally. Like Help
er, the author of the “ Impending
Crisis,” who advises that the blacks
of the South be colonized or exterm
inated, lie is never satisfied without
doing mischief. But hear the no
tions of the villian rillsburp. Says
Pillbury :
“ He sure must have a low estimate
of the solemn responsibilities of Gov
ernment, who would force the ballot
on thomsands and thousands to be
seen all over the South. And forced
it was on many men, wherever the
slaves have voted. 000 They
knew no more nor cared no more for
what they did in voting than if they
were as infantile in years as they are
in political experience ”
Agamy ire" ama ma indignation
upon their sociology and objects to
the recognized neatness of the Afm
can. Suith he :
“ Marriage does not exist among
them ; “ very few children are born
“infanticide is common;” in their
wretched komes “no family meal
seems to be provided,’’ each member
of the family doing his own cooking
and eating what lie can get; knives
and folks are unknown among these ;
their huts have no floors, no windows,
no decent table, chairs, or bed. ‘ I
saw infants and very young children
naked from morning till night,” says
the penitent Pillsbry, “ and boys of
at least a dozen years with only a
single garment, and tiiat but a scanty
apology. Many women, young and
old, had little on above the waist,
and nothing below the knees —and
the ballot may be the one thing need
ful there —but, it seems to me, soap,
sand, fine-tooth combs, pots, kettles,
chairs, tables, knives, forks, spoons,
decent food, cooking and clothing,
glass windows, and looking glasses,
should at least go side by side, if
they may not precede the rights of
suffrage and of sovereignty.”

Below we give the “ Morton
Georgia Bill ” as it passed both
houses and was sent to the President.
The original bill was greatly changed
and some of its requirements left' out,
but there is still enoifgTi infamy in it
to damn its authors and supporters:

In the debate in the House on the Geor«*
gia bill, the Democrats took the ground
that Congress had no right to constitute
itself an appellate cuurt to pass upon the
acts of a Legislatures.

of once a State, always a State. If Georgia

Etfer.dge denounced the bill as revolts
tionary, and contrary to a republican firm
of government, lie said it wou.d make the
people of Georgia slaves to this Congress
and slaves to the general government, lie
hoped that Georgia would not accede to
the terms imposed, and that the Fifteamh
Amendment would be resisted in every
State, by all constitution means.
Cox said; nothing in the reconstruction
laws required the seating of negroes ; that
Congress had no right to revise the legisla
tion of a State. He spoke of Bullock wrig*
gling around Congress to gat Georgia out
of the Union, and gave as a reason his
opera house and other schemes for plunder
ing the State.
Bingham moved a postponement of the
bill till the third Wednesday in Januarv,
and said that despite party dictatioa, be
should vote against it. The bill was un»
just and unwise- The Presidhnt never
intended to impose au oath on the people
of Georgia.
Farnsworth coincided with Bingham.

OBITUARIES.
Mrs. Iz<>ra J. Gardner, dauter of .Judge G .T Lewis
of Upson county, <•»., was born in Up-on count\, and
was matried to Mr. 0. C. Gardner, of Texas, February
lb, Ibotf. Immediately after her marriage she removed
with her husband to Texas never to return to the land
of her birth Rut a lew months ugo, full of lile and
loveliness, she bid farewell to her parents, relatives and
friends, but while away am- ng stiang. rs, in the bloom
oi youth, she has been called from earih The sad news
has come, Izora is gore, bhe died ut W.-.co, Texas,

Miss Eva Lamar Harvey daughter of Michael *.
Harvey, deceased and cusan Kendall, was born in Tnl
botton, Ga., and died on 9th .November, 1819. at the
residence of her step-futher, Dr. 0 F. Knod, Bruudi'.ge,
Pike county Ala.
bhe bore her last illness with remarkable fortitude, it
painful and protracted ulilicti«n of the lungs
complicated with heat t dise <se. When ask. dby her
minister it she felt afraid to pass through the dark
valley, she rep ied “ no I do not sea rto die: for 1 have
lobgsince ceased to care for life ”
Young, beautiful and accomplished, it Is strange that
she should have gi»en an eager welcome to the angel
of death, but suffering had giv< niter strength, and that
fai h which had illumined her early years grew brighter
as her last hours drew neag. Only a few years ago she
was a pupil at the Wes'eyrtrWemale College, Macori,
Ga., a bright and bl otning trirl before whim the word
was glowing with beautiy and beaming with dreams of
future happiness. But alas! th. se golden gieauis of
joy were shadowed by the black pall that drooped like
a dark night over the suulight of her native bind A
quiet, retired life she led, tor one who was naturally
fond of gay society, a word of cotupl int ever
escaped her lip, and it wlynt the domestic fireside sur
rounded by her young brothers and sisters that her true
character shone forth in all its loveliness. When
speaking of one of her little sisters about six years old,
she once said “ I keep her ith me, never
walk out without her, and It is tire gfeatest pleasure of
my life to teach so good a child.”
Her eyes became so weak a lew days before her death
that she could scarcely distinguish lift friends except by
their voices, but notwithstanding this site had a clear
and visible manifestations of God s tender canjaiulaU
sustaining grace. Extended over her buffering form
was a beautiful Hntrtf on whicn she said was the
brightest she had ever seen. Her limber then
asked if shro<>uld read it? Her reply ‘‘certainly
I Gan,” and she immediately read as if it was before
her mortal vision, -l / wi/l tstmtain thee."
comfortihg assurance site seemed to feel
b» tter, and remarked that she had no fear of death but
was perfectly willing to go whenever God choso to call
her. • s
My you g niece was belowejir by all who knew her for
her amiability and unselfishness, find every attention
that nffecuon c>>uld suggest was herdtni g the
twelve weeks that she was confined toiler room As
an evidence of the entertained for her vir
tues, when the sad news of her death was spread
thro g'hoftt the village, all the Lusfnesswhouses were
closed, appearuace of levity was bttnished, and
the low step and hushed vo ce told plainer than winds
that the spiral' death
* •“ stern, all pitiless,”
had borne from its sweetest treasures,
Thus another cherished flowers that
bloomed within tny heart, has been plucked to adorn
the fadless bowers of Puradise.
“Lea? by leaf the roses fall,
by drop the spring runs dry,
by one beyond recall,

But above, there are* glories that never die. and

sweet subject of this sketch, but all the ransomed gone
