THOMASTON, GA., JULY 16, 70.
We are glad Massachusetts has been
made to taste and drink, though as yet not
deeply, a certain noxious potion which she
has been an active agent in the concoction
of, and has been very anxious should be
poured down the throats of the Southern
people ; not only must they swa'low the
broth, but down must go skimmings, dregs
and all, while measures are taken to pre
vent the possibility of throwing the sicken*
ing mixture up. Massachusetts, while en
deavoring to force upon the South, negro
equality, negro juries, negro legislators,
black-and-white marriages, etc., has never
been actuated by fear that she would ever
be injured by the infliction of a like curse
upon herself. Had she been controled by
some restraining influence like this, we
would have hem spared much of the
wretchedness her intolerance and selfish
ness have occasioned. For this reason we
are heartily glad of the importation of the
Celestials into that state. She will have an
opportunity to witness the practical work
ing of some of her cherished doctrines
within her own limits now. It is all
right when the “rebel aristocrats” are
made to suffer trial, by a jury of black la
borers, perfectly proper that laws should
bo made by mere uneducated field hands ;
just the things that these laws should be
interprited by Judge Congo ; just the thing,
too, that “the chivalry should be humiluw
ted,” by association at the polls with their
former slaves, —all right these things, but
all wrong the attempt to bring a handfull
of almond-eyul coolies into competition
with a set of stubborn Crispins at North
Adams. The Garrisons aro highly excited
at this attempt to flood dear old Puritan
dom with “superstitious, ignorant, rat
soup eating barbarians l” Phillips says,
the yellow-skins will eventually control
the ballot-box if allowed to settle in New
England. llow is this ?—ignorance dom
inant, and a cure-all for political sickness
in one section of the “glorious” country,
but “dangerous to our stability,” “will in -
duce the ruin of free government,” “will
breed riot and affrays,” in another part of
it! 0 ! Massachusetts, Massachusetts !

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
OF TIIE GEORGIA IIERALD.
Washington, D. C., July 9, 1870.
THAT “ODIOUS INCOME TAX.”
The action of the Senate on the “income
tax” will most certainly not meet the ap
proval of tbo« country. After its long and
oft-continuous deliberations thereon, after
expunging it trorn the statute books, after
seeing as it must have what the people feel
on the subject, the tax was reinstated, at
twu-and-one-half of one per cent., with an
exemption of two thousand dollars. This
complete strdtijicatiou of its (the Senate’s)
previous action leaves but one conclusion
for the country to arrive at, and that is: I
the high-toned and conservative halo which
once of yore surrounded the Senate with all
its glory, has departed ; the evidence is too !
palpable that it has placed itself above the
people, and its wishes, its de-ires, its wants
and requirements. The condition of the j
Treasury, overflowing as it now is ; the j
South reconstructed, and furnishing its
very liberal quota of taxes in every shape ; ]
its large cotton crop, which is gold ; the
general prosperity of the country ; the
assurance of Congress that “it is curtailing
its previous extravaganceand all the
signs of the times, most surely were and
are sufficient guarantees for such legislation
as should have relieved the country from a
tax which the war brought to life. It was
dead, yet it resurrected, and the people
have for two years more to bear with an
inquisition worse than ever was carried
through in Spain by Torguoma dio. The
fall elections should decide whether men
cannot be sent to Congress who will teach
the irresponsible Senate that the “voice of
the peoble is the voice of God.” The next
Congress can and must force a repeal of the
bill so odious, so inquisitorial, so unjust, so
unnecessary, and order a refunding of all
the tax which may have been so shamefully
extorted from them. The House mill con
sent, despite its previous action. Out upon
such legislation .
REJECTION OF TIIE SAN DOMINGO FREE FARMS
The Senate, despite the Herculean efforts
essayed by those most deephj interested in
the project of “colonial possessions,” and a
snug sugar or coffee plantation “free gratis
for nothing,” rejected by a tie vote (28 to
28) the San Domingo treaty. The Presi
dent of the United States, on being informed
of the result, was rather disappointed, as he
had anticipated a very different termination
to his pet scheme.
NEW YOKK —THE CABINET AND TIIE PEESI
DENT.
It is a most astounding, as well as a fact
beyond contradiction, that since the found
ation of the Government there never has
been in so short a time such numerous and
continued changes in a President’s Cabinet,
or among prominent office holders, as has
marked the “reign” of the present occupant
of the White House. Commencing his
career but fifteen months back, the repeated
changes in ins Cabinet leads to a conclusion
that is not pleasant to reflect on, much less
to commit to paper. Changes innumerable
in the Cabinet have transpired already.
More are certain, as the Fish of the State
Department will shortly retire, so as to
accept (?) the more lucrative position of
Minister Extraordinary to the court of
Great Britain. The salary as Secretary of
State is SB,OOO in greenbacks. That as
minister to the aforesaid Court is $17,000
in gold. Who bids next fora chance in the
gijt enterprise? Minister Motley, who
possesses all that sauvefairc which is neces
sary for a diplomat, has to back out, while
Mr. Fish, whose talents for the position are
very questionable, will be his successor.
Like unto Washburne, who worked into the
French mission, and does nothing, but en
joy the Batiis, and draw a huge salary, so
also will the British mission be but illy and
poorly represented from our country. Oh,
Temporal Oh, Mores 1 ! Where are shades
of Franklin and such like men ? ? The
New York custom-house appointments are
in the same category, and have produced
by the President’s changing qualities a
flutters uch as is seen in a bevy of partridges.
The President commenced on the 2d instant
his contemplated changes in Federal offices
for the fall campaign, by appointing for
New York cityja new collector, sub-treasur
er, district attorney, and naval officer. The
announcement created quite a Suttering
among the Republican members from New
York, and no little indignation, especially
as regards the new collector, for nearly all
the Radical members from that State signed
a protest to the President a few days since
against the appointment. This is followed
by the President’s going out of the way to
remove General Merritt as a naval officer,
and the confidential and steadfast friend of
Senator Fenton. This act certainly revives
the war between the Fenton and Morgan
cliques in that State. The new collector
is a conservative Republican, who has ad
hered to the Weed school, and who is
characterized now-a-days as “Tammany
Republican.” The indignation demonstra
ted in consequence of these changes has
been very marked by the “Republican
leaders,” and a number of them have been
here to oppose the confirmation of Mr.
Murphy, the designed neic collector of cus
toms in New York city. Their indignation
is beyond measure. The feud between the
“Red and White” Roses of the New York
Republicans will be renewed, and pernaps,
like unto the Kilkenny cats, their candle
appendages will be all that will (when the
fight is over) be left to their bodies corpor
eal. New York Democracy is not yet dead,
even if the loaves and fishes are gorged by
others.
THE ANTI-CHINESE MOVEMENT.
The Fourth of July session of the Senate
was partially devoted to a re-consideration
of Mr. Sumner’s amendment striking ont
the word “wbitc’ r from the naturalization
laws, making them apply equally to all
foreigners, having been adopted. The ques
tion recurring on Mr. Williams’ ametd
ment to exclude the Chinese from the bene
fits of pending legislation, the vote resulted
in the retention of the word “white” in the
naturalization laws ; but this does not, (by
reason of the pres-ure brought to bear by
the workingmen of Massachusetts.) give the
Chinese any advantages under this legis a
tion. This exclusion of the Chinese from
the benefits of naturalization, would seem
to be a step in the direction of discounce
nancing their introduction to labor in this
country, though the opponents of Mr.
Sampson's movement are not likely to be
satisfied with any legislation short of a HU
absolutely prohibiting the making of con
tract with the Chinese for servile labor. It
is evident from the tone of the debate in the
Senate on this subject, that no apprehen
sion is felt that the tendency of Mr. Samp
son’s movement is to flood the country with
Chinese laborers. The pressure, however,
for providing against such a contingency is
so great, that it is probable that more di
rect legislation on the subject will take
place before Congress adjourns.

From oar Dalton Correspondent.
Dalton, Ga., July 12, 1870.
Editor Georgia Herald: Your corres
pondent has just seen and conversed with
parties who came through on the Selma,
Rome and Dalton Railroad, and from them
I learn that there is, and has been for the
past few months, bad blood between the
whites and blacks at Cross Plains, Ala.
This it was thought, had been fostered and
kept alive by a creature representing him
self to be a Canadian, who bad been for
some time teaching a colored school at the
last named place. On Saturday last it was
discovered that the negroes were getting
pistols, guns, etc., but no difficulty occur
red until Sabbath when there was a fight
between a little white boy and negro —this,
however, attracted no attention —on Sab
bath night service was held at the church
just outside the village as usual : after
which, a party of young ladies and "iris
fourteen in number—and three lads, was
returning to their homes in company—
passing a small skirt of woods, suspecting
no danger, a volley of twelve or fifteen
guns, pistols, etc., was fired into the party,
wounding a cumber of the young ladies
and girls, but as was thought, none mor
tally. Immediately a crowd collected and
set out in pursuit. They captured five of
the number, who, without hesitating, con
fessed the crime, and did not even offer an
excuse. Others made their escape—some
of them making their way down the rail
road, and as their pursuers had every
reason to believe, got aboard of a passing
train, which the Conductor, a Northern
man, positively refused to have searched,
and thus they escaped.
On Monday the five negroes who confess''
ed themselves guilty of firing into the party
of girls, and the teacher who was proven
to have put the negroes up to perpetrate
this crime, were brought before a Justice of
the Peace at Cross Plains, but the excite
ment became so intense as the news spread,
and crowds flocked into the village, that a
number of men disguised took the prison
ers away from the authorities, and there is
little reason to doubt that they were forever
disabled from shooting innocent girls and
children. The excitment, I fear, will lead
to serious results. Yours, 11.

selves. A terrific spirit of animosity has
heretofore ruled among them against any
member of their race who dared to vote the

over the South. This thing has now to be
stopped. It is a crime to interfere with

is now a crime in law and punishable with

A Well Drawn Picture of Ben. But
j gß,—The Richmond W hig presents its
readers with the following well drawn ploti
ure of Ben Butler :
Ben Butler is certainly a character, nnd
bv no means a character to he admired.
Scarcely a week passes without exhibiting
him in some new and unpleasant light. He
appears to be always in motion, and his
activity is exercised in a most unscrupulous
manner. lie is a man ot talents, of
ation and of labor. But he is utterly de.-*
titute of moral sense, anddisd ins -he mitr
al sense that governs the ma»s ot mankind.
He tramples recklessly upon all the conven
tioualisms of society. If he had one spark
of sensibility he would cease to he danger
ous, for he might then be shamed into a
seullaneo of v.rtue But no cxposuie
brings the llush to h : s callous face. He
defends his misdeeds wtih an audacity that
carries him through successfully, an*t
knows so thoroughly “the ins and the outs*
of all his political associates as to be ena
bled to meet every charge against hims-If
with one as damaging again.-t every assail*
ant.
He is so quick witted and has su h fer
tility of invention that he is always ready
with a reason, on explanation and a justi
fication, no matter what is alledged against
him, Ilis policy is to face down his ene
mies and assailants, and to defy the public.
Nothing cows him. He knows that he
would he run over nnd crushed if he gave
back an inch, or showed any sense of
shame. He therefore puts on a brave face,
cocks his eyes fiercely nnd makes battle
with an effrontery that has enabled him to
survive a thousand disgraces. His last
performance is related elsewhere. Dam
aging as it would he to any other man, it
will pass oft' without at all affecting his
standing and influence in Congress. T 1 e
fact is that Butler is one of these singul tr
creatures that sometimes turn up in the
world and play a considerable part —dis-
trusted by every body, and vet employed,
listened to and followed. lie ‘‘lives hv the
badness of his character” and has no idea
of giving up this means of subsistence.
The meaning of Aker man’s Appoint
ment -a party plot. The Nashville
American Union says .
Be tent intelligence son Washington
gives more signification to the appointment
of the unknown Mr. Akerman to a position
in the cabinet than was at first surmised.
As Mr. Akerman was an ex-Confederate,
and had never given anything to the Presi
dent, the political quid mines at the capital
were at a loss to assign a reason for this
strange freak of Executive power. It is
now suggested that General Grant, under
the advice of some of the shrewdest of the
Republican leaders of the North, in con
nection withs une . f the wariest politicians
in the South, has determined to attempt to
reorganize the Republican party in such a
mam e * as to draw into it a large portion of
the intelligent and influential native popu
lation in the South.
As at present organized Radicalism
not stand the ghost of a chance of success
in the South, except through the disinteg
ration of the Democratic and Conservative
party. Hence it is proposed to tone Radi
calism down in the South to Republicanism.
Carpet-baggers are to he notified that they
have received their just reward for th ir
services in the cause. One by one their
heads will quietly drop into the ba-ket, and
their places will he ocupied by those who
have a Southern odor about them by b rth
or long residenc. The entire power and
patronage of the administration will be used
for the purpose of proselytism in the
Southern States. The success of this Re
publicanism in Mississippi has had a pow
erful effect in producing the conviction in
the minds of the Radical potentates that
while they cannot Radicalize the South
they may Alcorn it.
Akerman was one of those ex-Confeder
ates who took position with Governor Joe
Brown in Georgia in favor of the Radical
plan of reconstructing that State. With
such men as these and Longstreet and Al
corn, the process of demora ization is begun
in the South. Better men are tampered
with. With a foreknowledge of the purpose
of the plot by the peop e of the South, it
will fail. But, “Eternal vigilance is the
price ol Liberty.”
Good Prospect for Settling Old Scores.
—ls France and Prussia should go to war,
there will he a fine prospect for settling a
lot of old scores on many sides.
France successful, would see Waterloo
fully avenged, and the bones of old Blueher
almost turning in his grave. If Prussia
should win, the mem >ries of Jena and Ber
lin in French occupation, would be corns
pletely atoned for. If Austria sides with
France, and the alliance is successful, Sa*
dowa is avenged, and the House of Ilaps
hurg compensated for the hitter memory of
a treaty of peace signed with Prussian bay
onets in full and almost unresisted march
for Vienna. If Russia backs Prussia, and
France is humbled, Sebastopol is atoned
for. We hardly count Spain in the busi
ness, for she will be almost lost in the
smoke and shock of the mighty conflict
that will shake Europe from center to cir
cumference.
But she has her old scores to settle too.
There are proud old Dons still living, we
dare-say, who remember the Frenchman,
Joseph Bonaparte, reigning in Madrid, and
Spain’s fairest portions devastated by
French soldiers. If she could he even the
least atom of a grand power whose blows
might shake the solid strength ot the
French Empire, that would be sweet re*
venge for wrongs of more than half a cen
tury ago.
This impending conflict cannot fail to be
a most opportune occasion for wiping out
old debts, and feeding to fatness grudges
that have long since passed into history.—

nothing unexpected intervene, and we shall
