(£j)c Georgia Derail CHAS. G-. BE A RCE, F.DITOU AND PROPRIETOR TIIOMASTON, GA., JULY 2, ’7O. We call the attention of the readers and patrons of the Herald to a letter on the out side page of this issue, writer, by Charles I>. Bearce, Esq., of Portland, Maine. The letter was written by Mr. liearce just after an extensive trip to the Suu'h, and was published in the Portland Argus. It is the most truthful, impartial, and correct account of the condition of the South, and the tone, temper and disposition of her citi zens that we have ever seen from the pen of any ono. The writer of the letter, is the father of Mr. Charles G Bearce, the present Editor and Proprietor of the Herald, and we, be lieving the letter the very best recommend ation that he could bring with him to this place, prevailed upon him to copy it in his paper. Hall & Weaver. Late proprietors of the Herald. WASHINGTON NEWS. The Washington news for the past week is quite meagre. Both Houses seem to be engaged in considering appropriation bills, etc. The Georgia bill which passed the House a few days ago has not, ns yet, been called up, in the Senate. Doubtless it will be passed by the Senate in its present shape, which will secure to the State admission into the Union and an election of members of the Legislature this fall. Some few of the Radical papers are ready to fiind consolation in any measure, for their recent discomfiture in regard to the Georgia bill, and say, as a matter of consolation, that the present bill will not prevent an exten sion ~f the term of the State officers by the Legislature. We, however, differ very widely with them, and if the present Georgia bill, the Constitution of the State and the ordinances of the Convention of 1808, are taken and construed together, they emphatically fix the election for Nov ember next. The New York World has an editorial on Grant which we cannot forbear transfering to our columns: General Grant has differed from all other Presidents by a peculiar prudishness in his intercourse with politicians. During the winter after his election he took none of the Republican loaders into his confidence ; he deigned to consult none of them about the composition of his Cabinet; lie morti fied and offended them all by repelling their opinions and advice. When the Cabinet was anuounced, it became still more evi dent that he contemned and spurned their whole class. Ilis strange selections pro voked their amazement and disgust. There was not a man in the list who had any pol itical standing or connections. After Gen eral Grant had organized his administra tion, he spent a great part of the ensuing summer and autumn in journeys of recrea tion and amusement; hut in all those fre quent journeys he took care not to consort with politicians. He did nottravel in their company; be did not accept their hospital ity ; he kept aloof from them as if he desired no personal intercourse except with officers of the army and wealthy men who had givs en him presents. It is that singular distance and reserve which render his ostentatious association with Simon Cameron, who is one of the worst types of the tribe of politicians, so remarkable. A great change has come over the spirit of the President. Like the weak man that he is, he vibrates from one foolish extreme to the other extreme still more foolish and objectionable. General Grant has become sensible that he made a mistake in supposing that he could con duct a successful administration without the aid and co-operation of party leaders. But after repelling those who were entitled to his confidence, he is forming relations with the most intriguing and unscrupulous of corrupt politicians. Butler has become the main pillar of the administration in the House, although Butler has not yet been honored with any such striking mark of personal cordiality as has been bestowed on Cameron ; hut of all the public men of the country Butler is perhaps the last whom anybody could have supposed General Grant would consent to rely upon for assistance. Butler intrigued against him in the army; kept spies upon him during the Yirgiuia campaign ; made a virulent, b tter speech against him at Lowell, accussing him of murdering our soldiers in the rebel prisons ; and he was paid back by General Grant in the contemptuous report in which he allud ed to Butler as having been “bottled up” at James River. In the year of the Presi dential election, Butler prepared a pamph let against Grant, and- was on the point of printing it, exposing, in his sharp way, the blunders of the Virginia campaign. The fact that Butler has come to be the Presi dent’s chosen champion in Congress, shows how impossible it i» to predict General Grant’s personal relations from his antece dents. There was never a public man so capable ot jerky inconsistencies. Before he was the Republican candidate for Presi dent he scouted negro suffrage, and made what Senator Sumner denounced as a “whitewashing” report on the fitness of the Southern people for immediate readmission. As soon as he had joined the Republican party for the sake of office, he became an “out-and-outer” in favor of negro suffrage, and fully endorse the Reconstruction meas ures. He is the same General Grant who stood at the right hand of President John son when he received the delegates from the Philadelphia Convention, and accom panied him when he--''swung around the circle” making vehement speeches in de nunciation of Congress. Os course, Dobody can be surprised at any of General Grant’s inconsistencies, lie selected one ot the staunchest free-traders in the country for Secretary of the Treasury,, and immediate ly afterwards appointed a Massachusetts protectionist to the same office. He was a dogged pro-Cuban frantic during the first five monts of his administration, and he af terwards “wheeled about and turned about/ like Jim Crow in the negro song, and last week exploded upon Congress a violent an ti-Cuban message. There is no sequence or connection between any two parts of this weak man’s publio career. Somebody asks what Akerman aoniribu ted for the Attorney Generalship. PERSONAL. Andy Johnson —not our Andy, the lem onade mixist,” hut the Ex-President—will run for Congress, “lie aint dead yet, it seems. Bard is whetting bis teeth, and getting into fighting trim for his coming “mill” with Bullock, et als. Stu—boy. Akerman stock is lively and has an up ward tendency. Ex Senator Hale who has just returned from Spain, where he has resided a nutns her of years, is very anxious to go to Con gress again. It was Hale who applied the title of “Hangman” to Foote, of Tennessee. Ben Butler don’t like Gen. Banks since he made his Cuban speeeh. He feels-road,, and calls upon someone to hold him. II race Greely is reported to be very happy over his turnip garden this summer. He does a heap of thinking while hoeing or weeding out. Dickens left “All the Year Round,” to his son. Old J >hn Brown, whose soul cannot keep still, is to be done up in romance by \ ictor Hugo. Bayard Taylor is travling in the “Far West” and writing descriptive letters of his journey to cne of the New York papers. The Pope don’t like to have any one about while he is putting in the “solids” It isn’t because he’s modest, —he is only carrying out e custom. Spurgeon says he will “wisit” this coun try, provided the Baptist will do the “hand** some thing” in regard to his new Orphan's College. Spotted Tail, and all the other decend ents of Mr. Lo, who have been “bumming” about Washington, have left for their for* est homes with whole wagon-loads of tin whistle*, baby dolls, cake cutters, umbrel* as, china dogs, combs, heads, etc. Modest and unassuming Jim.

SQUIBS. 25,000 Irish immigrants arrived in Amer ica during the month of May. “We’re coming Uncle Samuel, about ten million strong.” Corn is selling for from one dollar to one dollar and a half in town. Most of it is made into “juice,”—they can’t ass »rd k) waste it for bread. A college for the education of colored ministers is building in St. Louis. Golly, what unknown thousands of meaningless polysyllables the walls of that structure must soon hear. Grant is wroth because the wily politi cians will not allow him to select his con* stitutional advisers himself. However, he succeeded in getting Akerman. Hiram says he means to make his Cabinet in the future, out of his own head. There’s wood enough there for the purpose. Boston wants to ship off her “soiled doves” to lowa or some other state where there are more men than women !

A correspondent from Athens writes to the Atlanta Constitution that the law stu dents at Athens had a Moot Court the other day, in which a very important case was tried. The case referred to by the corres pondent, is the one of Mrs. Wright vs Geor gia Railroad— suit for damages. This case was originally tried in the circuit court, went to the Supreme court, and was finally decided against the plaintiff, Mrs. Wright The students at Athens being dissatisfied with the turn things took, tried the ease regularly, reversing the Supreme court giving verdict for $1,500 damages. Col. Mitchell presided over the trial, and is re ported to have said : “that much more law had been envolved by them than had been brought forward in the original discussion.” We would be inclined to doubt the correct ness of Col. Mitchell’s statement, hut for the fact that these are wonderfu. tiroes ,*nd many wonderful things are done. We will, however call the attention of Gov. Bullock to these young men, and suggest that when a vacancy occurs on the supreme bench, he will ‘‘go fur em.” The Thomaston Herald, a very one horse, small weakly paper, graduates more editors than all the balance of the Georgia press. In a little more than six months it has introduced lour new men to the profes sion, vud graduated three. As these edi<* tors are also proprietors, we may safely set it dovyn that the Herald don’t pay. Al most everybody sticks to a good thing, but the Herald seems to be a “hot potato.”— American Union. We do not know that the three gentlemen refered to claim to be graduates in journal istic profession, but can say for them what we, from common report, cannot say for the editor of the Union, which is ; that they are perfect gentlemen. The Herald pays very well indeed, we will inform you Mr. Union, and that is the reason so many have desired and still desire to oWn it. The American Union is doubtless very poorpay, but the editor cannot relieve himself, as no one but the present editor would own and run such a machine. The Union says, “almost everybody sticks to a good thing.” That is true as-to gentlemen, but if we have been correctly infbrmed, the editor of the Union has been sticking to'very bad things all of his life.

Important to Southern Claimants. — The Senate had under consideration, a bill to pay legal claimants in the South for quartermaster and eommissary stores taken by the Federal army during tho war. A long debate was had, in which it was held by the opponets of the bill that it was the opening wedger to a series of claims from the South which-would bankrupt the Treas* ury. Jfo final action was taken. Brick Pomrboy is alarmed for the safety of the democracy and sounds the key note in the following characteristic strain : 1872. Look out lor trouble. The air is full of it—for the Democracy. It is now proposed to raise in the East a fund ?f millions- to send <ne of the most prominent New York politicians and mans agers into the Southern States to talk sweet to the people there—to assure them of a happy termination to all their recenstruc tion trials, and secure, by tair means or foul, enough influence to insure the Souths ern delegation in the next Presidential con vention for a man from the Last, pledged in writing, to keep faith only with the bond holders and protected aristocracy of the country and its despotic endeavors. The next De nocratic convention is to be bought aud paid for, American and foreign capitalists are to furnish the money. The State of New York is to furnish the Presidential candidate, and the Chairman of the National Democratic Committee, as now, for another term. New England is to vote solid in the Na tional Convention with New York. The railroad interests of Pennsylvania are to control that State, and throw it with New York. New Jersey is to be foiced to terms be tween the two. The entire South is to be bought and paid for, no matter vrhnt the price.- And, using the exact language of one of the managers of the plot— itr the great West may wait or go to hell!” Then, with this planning accomplished there will he— An issue of two hnndred and fifty million dol'ars more of United States bonds all exempt from taxation, to raise money to settle “war claims” and keep the g-eat faith of the nation pure and spotless! The consolidation of National and State management in the hands of a “Congress ional Chamber of Deputies,” appointed by the President and Cabinet. The sale of certain railroads to the United States at par value for all stock floating at the time, to be paid for in United States six per cent, gold bearing, untaxed bonds, with the management of these railroads in the hands of a “Railwa’y Board,” with power to buy for the Government, or crush out all rebellious lines, and run the lines at Government expense, making all employes Government office-holders. The funding of all Un>ted States bonds, of whatever name and nature, in 6 percen*, gold-bearing, untaxable “consols,” or con solidated indebtedness, and the enactment es such constitutional amendments as will forever fix the payment of this interest up on the people, beyond hope of redemption, for the benefit of the aristocracy. —Here is the plan—the above are the facts. We have the names, the “trestle hoard” before us, a"d our duty is, like the sentinel on a watch-tower, to sound the alarm. Will the people look well to their delega*. tes, or be sold into perpetual bondage? We shall see ! The Black Man North and South.— The Missouri Republican says: It is not the least curious instance of the very curi ous policy that has presented us with an enforcement bill to guarantee nis rights to to the colored man, that, the colored man already enjoys more rights in that region where he is supposed to have most enemies, than in that region where he is supposed to have most friends. The proclaimed object or iiie mu icfci rej iw lo in protect me ne gro of the South in all his constitutional rights, and secure to him complete political coequality with the whites. Yet there are hundreds of negroes in office in the South, at this time, and scarcely one in office at the North. Nearly half the seats in the Legislatures of South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisana. Mississippi and Texas, are tilled with negroes; nearly all the profitable municipal offices in New Orleans are held by negroes ; a negro is one of the Supreme Judges of South Carolina; the only negro cadets proposed for West Point are form the South ; and, to cover all, a negro Senator from Mississippi sits in the United States Senate as a proof of the emi nence to which his race may rise in the Southern States. Nothing like this is to 1 e seen at the North. No negroes are to be found in Northern Legislatures ; no negro sits in the police bo.»rd or school hoard of a Northern city; no learned negro jurist sits on the bench of a Northern court ; no negro is a candidate for Congress in a Northern district. All these immunities are denied to the black man in the North, and all of them easily enjoyed by him in the South. Is it not singular then that Senator Carpen ter of Wisconsin should support the enforce ment bill for the purpose of “compelling the cruel devils of the South to do justice to colored men?” When Wisconsin sha’l elect a colored Senator in place of Mr. Carpenter, and a score of of colored men shall sit in the Legislature of each of the New England States, then and not till then, will the black man be as well treated in those Radical regions as he is now treated in the rebel States of the South. A Freedman’s llymn.—A Southern friend, who is curious in his observations as to the effect ot freedom on the ordinary field hand freedman, says that in no way does Sambo “feel hid oats” of liberty more than in his devotions ; and in support of his assertion sends the following, which he says is in many quarters a favorite hymn in public religious services : We's nearer to de Lord. Dan de white folks, and dey knows it; See the g'ory gate unbarred ; Walk up. darkeys, past de guard ; Bet a dollar be don't close it. Walk op, darkeys, froo de gate ; Hark ! de eolored angels holler. Go away white folks ! you's too late ; We's de wlnnrn’ color ; with Till de trumpet sounds to foller. IJalletlujah I Cants on’ praise ! Long en aft we’ve borne our crosses; Now we's de sooperior race; We’s gwine to hebben afoie de bosses! It argues hopefully for the Southern future, that the Congressional Committee have reported in favor of a sitting com mittee to consider the subject of redem ing the alluvial lands on the lower Mis sissippi from ovtrflow by a complete levee system. In a national point of view, the redemption of several millions of acres of the best cotton yielding soil in the world is certainly worthy of some consideration. To our mind, it furnishes the key to the solu* tion of the national debt problem. Think of 30,000,000 acres of new cotton land, with the largest posible yield to the acre, and then estimate the increase of revenue ther*- trom. Why it is better than a gold mine. —Nashville Banner. Estimates' ot the coming cotton crop have already been made, even before the first bloom has made its appearance. The highest estimate is four million bales, the lowest three and a half millions. The number of caterpillars and boll worms, frosts'aud heavy rains are not estimated. IN REPLY TO “JUSTITIA,” “M. D.” PAY HIS RESPECTS IN THE FOL LOWING WORDS. Til l K aston, Ga., June 27, 18<0. Mr. Editor : In reply to the special c r resp mdent of the Georgia Herald, from Texas, who says, “an M. D. of lexas pub lishes a Texas fever cure.” I will say that I did, and can now, cure said fever, and having on my arrival here seen an adver tisement or letter in the Macon Telegraph and Messenger from a sick man who spoke harshly of Texas, I thought I would diagnose his case and reply to him, which I did, but never in the - least spoke ill if said State, on the contrary, I always did and always do protect it, ass reside there and have a family which I love dear y, and 1 of course cannot help being home-sick or in 1 »vC for family, friends, and country. Yes, “Justitia,” I am thus home-sick for those dear ones, but I am not as you say, “broke,” for I have many bright gold pieces from Texas as well as plenty of greenbacks, and can (ad libatum) return to my beautiful, though humble cottage in Huntsville. You envy my robust form : Yes, “Justitia,” well you may—but I do not envy you the skeleton frame you are possessed of and your small amount of brains. It is an “enigma” to you—my remedies. I believe it, for a one horse schoolmaster cannot judge. You are sure I am dreaming. Why! least of jour stamp are not allowed to have ideal imagi nations as they are led by iustinct and not smartness. You, or the sick man from Texas, went from Galveston to Jefferson and Davis counties. I never was in such coun ties, although I have been in thirty-two i f them. You say I do not know Texas no more than the editor or the readers of the Herald. That shows your poor capacity for judging. I can't say that you are a —, though an ignoramus, but my tongue does not wish to mention many other worse words. Well, we can settle this matter over a glass of lager on my return home, when I will pass through your place. I shall be very dry, but, mind you. must be better off than a one-horse teacher, or the broke “M. D” will have to pay for the lager. In regard to the epidemic of 1807, it spoke for itself, and you know that ray return there, would be a pleasure to the community at large. However, I can diag nose your case in one word. You are a— clever fellow. You know what I mean. TEXAS M. D. N. B.—l am whispering at present, not “blowing” loud. M. 1). Hoffman to the Front. —lt is, perhaps, t( o soon to speculate on the next Presiden tial contest, but there appears to be only one opinion among the Democrats of New York as to who shall carry the Democratic banner. Gov. Hoffman is undoubtedly the choice of the people, and his nomination is regarded by many as a foregone conc'usion. I doubt if there is in the whole country a man more highly respected or possessing in a larger de«e.« the elements of DOpular ity than the present able and upright Gov ernor of the Empire State. Ilis official record is as dean as that of Washington, his personal qualities secure for him the esteem of all who come in contact with him, a id in his messages and * o oes (and he ha? not been sparing of the latter) he has de monstrated statesmanlike abilities of the higest order. It is understood among nil classes of Democrats that no competitor will oppose him in the next Convention to nom inate a candidate for Governor, and it is as good as settled that he will remain in the gubernatorial chair till called to a higher office No man in the country has done more to reanimate the Democratic party than Gov. Hoffman, and I doubt if any man possesses the confidence of the party to so large on extent. He isceitainly the favor* ite of the Middle .States for President, and his nomination would, it is believed, he highly acceptable in every section. Hern JUiucrtisfinffit.
