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 ! GINGER-SNAPS—POLITICAL. Pecatur, Ain., advertises fora respecta . ble female Congressional candidate. Wendell Phillips declared the other day that Grant’s Cabinet is “the weakest the nation has ever seen.” Sumner wants the Radical nomination for President. Let him have it. There is no surer way of killing him. Helper, the author of The Impending Crisis, wants to go to Congress from North Carolina. Little Delaware has her Democratic can didate for Governor iu the field, in the person of James Ponder. The leaders of the Washington Radicals, it is said, are making extensive arrange ments for stumping the Southern States. The resignation of Mr. Fish is expected, and both Robeson and Creswell are said to be contemplating the felicities of private life. The experiment of employing Coolie labor will undoubtedly occasion the inser tion of “foreign labor” planks in party platforms hereafter. Except Revels, of Mississippi, and Rob ertson, of South Carolina, all the Radical Senators from the South voted against the repeal of the income tax. The Hon. J. M. Phelps, a hitherto promi nent and active West Virginia Republican, has abandoned that corrupt and moribund party, and cast his fortunes with the Con stitutional Democracy. It is given out that xVndrew Johnson has determined to run for Congress. lie will have to move to some other district, for last fall the one in which he lives was nearly unanimously Republican. William A. Graham, who was a candi date for Vice-President in 1852, on the Scott ticket, was recently nominated for the State Senate of North Carolina, but declined. The Democrats of Calhoun county, Ala., have had a grand mass meeting. A theus sand copies of the proceedings have been published for distribution. This looks like work. In South Carolina the Radicals will throw Scott overboard and nominate a ne£ro, L. F. Cardoza, the present Secretary of State, for Governor. This will be bard on Scott. There is a division in the Radical party in Alabama. Several of the State Sena tors and Representatives have made savage attacks on the Governor through the col umns of the press, accusing him of treach ery to the party, theft, lying, and very thing else wicked and un-Kadical (?) At a recent Democratic County Conven tion in Ohio it was resolved that the war for the Union “was a partizan war for the spoils,” that the war debt “is a fraud upon the people,” and that “we are in favor of disowning the bonded debtif paid, “we are in favor of letting the abolition party and its negro allies pay it.” Plain talk, that. Tins item of news is inserted here, that it may be seen by a reader of the Herald, who has always taken a deep interest in the old, original, Simon-pure “Yankee Ad dams.” It is clipped from one of the June numbers of the New York Clipper : Not Dead. —Some time ago it was re ported that the Yankee comedian, John P. Addams, was dead. Manager J. C. Myers states that on the 3d instant he received a letter from Mr. Addams, dated Melbourne, Australia, March 28th, and Mr. Myers has sent for him to return by way of California. Land is so cheap in Arkansas that “you have to look sharp or they will smuggle an cxtra_forty acres or so into the deed.” 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. , Beta. 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.

Lookout, Sambo!— The practical effect of the enforcement law will be most seri ously felt in the South by the negroes them selves. A terrific spirit of animosity has heretofore ruled among them against any member of their race who dared to vote the ahti-Radical ticket, and mobs, beatings, stonings, etc , have been quite common all over the South. This thing has now to be stopped. It is a crime to interfere with any man in the free exercise of the elective franchise. Even to threaten with punish ment, a discharge from employment, or other penalty, for voting just as one pleases is now a crime in law and punishable with fine and imprisonment. The raotankerous Radical negroes would do well to bear this in mind. TnE Chinese shoemakers, that are to be, have a remarkatie power of observation. They follow their guides with exactitude.

DOMESTIC. Washington, July 7.—lt is apprehened that the Georgia iliii will no. be touched this session. Tin Committee on the Judiciary was dis charged from the consideration of female suffrage memorials. The bill requiring liquidating national banks to retire their notes was arneded and passed. Washington, July 8. —The Senate was occupied all the morning on a bill relieving seventy-five Kentuckians from political disabilities. An amendment covering some 5,000 persons was offered. Norf u.K, July B.— Sheriff Mayhew and Deputy Sheriff Stevens to-day completed the removal of seven hundred negro squat ters who have since 1803 occupied Taylor farm, nine miles from Norfolk, The ne groes were well armed, but offered no f >r cible resistance to the execution of the vfrit of ejectment. Washington, June 9.—The Senate dis cussed the Chinese question. Sumner and Howard advocated their rights. Pacific Senators urged a law forbiding their land ing. In the legislative appropriation bill a provision has been inserted prohibiting the court ot claims from entertaining suits brought against the Government by resi dents of the Southern States, even though they can plead a restoration to all civil rights by amnesty or pardon. They must show affirmation that they were always loyal, or they must go to Congress fur re lief. W a c itington, July 12: The House re ferred the Georgia bill to a committee of conference. Blaine announced Butler, Farnsworth and Pain3 as the committee. Admiral Dahlgren is dead, of heart disease. Claude Hamilton, and actor, was found dead this morning, in the President’s grounds, with a wound in bis neck. New Y t orr, July 12.—There was a riot to-night between the whites and blacks in the eight ward. The police, for a time, were beaten off, hut finally arrested the the ringleader. None killed. Wa siiington, July 13.—The indications are strong that special legislation is over for this session. The impression is, that the Georgia bill may pass in an equivocal shape, giving Akerman the construction. The admistration is lining its influence in favor of the immediate admission of Georgia and Attorney General Afcerman is un derstood to favor unequivocally an elec - tion this fall iti the state. The Georgia Committee cannot agree. Farnsworth, Hanlon and Thurman are in sisting upon making an election this fall mandatory. Upon which Butler, Paine and Howard take stubborn issue. The failure of the Committee of Confer ence to excludes Burler, under the rules, from any new conference that may be ordered. FOREIGN. Havana, July G.—Planters in every part of the Island, are holding meetings, and nearly all of them refuse to obey the the emancipation laws, and will resist freeing their slaves. Large amounts of money are to be sent to Spain in order to avoid the execution of the law', and to se cure its repeal. Quebec, July 7.—Prince Arthur em barked on the Crocodile for England. Paris, July 11. — The strike at Mulhouse continues. Sixteen thousand workmen are involved. New I'ork, July 11. — A special to the Herald, dated London, July 10, says that military preparations were going on all last night, in Paris. If the candidature of Prince Leopold is not withdrawn within the next 24 hours the French ministers will be recalled from Berlin and Madrid, and war be declare. The conduct of France in enforcing the issue and refusing to leave the question of the throne to the Spanish people is strongly condemned by all Europe, and Prussia’s calm and dignified position is approved. London, July 11. — A panic is attribu ted to approaching settlements and the fears of bankers will contract accommoda tions. Dispatches from various European capitals, this morning, announce that the excitement is increasing, particularly in monied circles. All sorts of securities have declined heavily. The feeling is quieter here and in Paris, and the impression is gaining ground that the question between Prussia and France will be settled without resorting to extreme measures. Securities have advanced sevo eral per cent, since morning. The journals say in case ot war the Em peror will comtnad in person, with the Prince Imperial on his staff. The .Parisian journals have reports of immense movements of German troops to wards the frontier. The roads are encum bered with men an 1 wagons. It is reliably stated that relays of transportation are so arranged that 35,009 infantry and five thousand calvary can reach the frontier in one day. Drilling and artillery practice is going on throughout Prussia. It is stated that an envoy has gone to Vi enna for the purpose of an offensive and defensive alliance between France and Austria. The Spaniards are apparently uneon cerened about the situation. The position of Italy is uncertain, Pxussia will estab lish an intrepid camp of twenty-four thousand men at Larrache. Paris, July 13.—A questionable dispatch from Dusseldorf, this morning, says that Leopold accepts the Spanish crown on condition of immediate declaration of war against France, should the latter attack Germany. Brussels, July 13.—Warlike prepara* tions continue in France. Notwithstanding the withdrawal ot Leopold, there is univer sal fear of war. Berlin, July 13.—The Xreug Gazette says : “Germany indignantly repels the measureless arrogance of France. Prince Leopold renounces the candidacy because he is unable to reconcile the character of German soldiers with his action in involv ing Germany and Spain in war. Bismarck is here. London, July 13.—The Government nearly monopolizes the cables leading to the Continent with dispatches on the Span ish question. Asa consequenee, business is deranged aud news delayed. A Berlin dispatch just received says that in spite of the withdrawal of Hohenzollern, France maintains a threatening attitude. Schenck got off a good one the other day in Congress, when he said, speaking of the changes that the revenue bill had under gone, that the House seemed to have pro vided for everything except the funeral ex penses of the Radical party. 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.— Telegraph and Mesenger. The following hit of had news for the anti-progressive class of people, we clip from the Telegraph and Messenger of July 9th.
