THOM ASTON, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5, 1870. “MY POLICY” GRANT—A SEVERE TIIRCST FU M A RADICAL PAPER. From the New York Eve' lr.g Pest ] Senator Sumner opposed the President’s San 'Domingo sc ieme. Thereupon the President removed, and so far us he cruld do so, disgraced Senator Sumner’s friend. Mr. Motley. Senator Scliurz opposed the President’s San Domingo scheme And now the Pres* ident removes fr.m office Senator Sehurz’s iriends in Missouri. Our Washington cor respondent telegraphed yesterday : “The President has decided to thr'w the weight of his official position and the influ ence of the Administration in favor of the McCiurg ticket in Missouri, and again* the revenue reform ticket, headed by B Gratz Brown. During an interview with your c o-respondent to-day, the President said he had already removed two or three office holders fur supporting the ‘bolters’ ticket/ as lie called it, and other removals would be promptly made ns soon as good men capable of filling the different offices could be found.” W hen the Senate rejected the San Domin go tieaty, the President who had as is very well known ir Washington, stooped to very dubious experiments to win support in toe Senate for that measure -which had no friend# anywhere but in the President’s household— threatened to punish the Sena tors who voted against the treaty, and were conspicuous in opposing it, by removing tbeir friends from office He has n »w, in 'wo prominent cases, carried out his pur pose. G“i). Grant does not entertain a very high "f'inion of Andrew Johnson. Does he know that he is imitating Mr. Johnson in one of the acts which made that person most odious to the people? Mr. Johnson was headstrong, willful, determined; anti wh(*n ‘my policy,” as he called it, met with oppos tiim, he “punished” those who dared to differ with him, just as Gen. Grant is now “punishing” Senator Sehurz Mr. Johnson had a “policy,” which, whether right or wrong, had at least the merit of concerning a qu stion of real im portance. If he interfen din elections, and “punished” his opponent*, it was because be believed the future welfare of the coun try depended upuu the success of “my policy.” But Gen. Grant is interfering in elections and “punishing” Senators because they opposed a mere caprice of his ; a measure, too, which had no favor anywhere in the country, and whose only friends—aside from Gen. Ora it himself—are a few intim ates of his household. Tuk Battle « f Beauty.—The battles of beauty, says the Brooklyn Eagle, can he cogently classified The temperament of the antagonists is largely dependent upon their latitude, and their rules are mainly regulated by their temperament. The southern slayer of hearts and the northern Slayer of ln-m In Cttoll lm»c V7iil-c;i rrrvtion.J imitators, albeit the selfishness of the pur suit does not permit them to he allies. The western women adopt the moods and meth ods of tneir southern sisters The middle States Phillises follow their northern neighbors. The type of the first is brunette, of the second blonde. The facts simplify the situation. These forces are now flirting each one of their members f >r nerself and against all the others of both classes, from one end of the land to the other. The brunette is more passive, yet more intense. The blonde is more active, yet less propetise. The brunette lures, the blonde pulls. The brunette draws, the blonde dazzles The brunette does much with her eyes. The blonde does not a little with her shoulders The brunette fixes you wdth a look pensive and passionate withal, the blonde imparts spontaneous and unsolicited confidence. The brunette exacts following the blonde exacts fellowship. The brunette is statueque, the blonde is mercurial. The brunette sways you to her, the blonde sways herself to you The bru' nette honors you by accepting your service, the bl< nde anticipates your wants by ser vice of her own The brunette innpire-, the blonde incites. The brunette is stellar, the blonde is solar. The brunette labors t<> suggest her best self to you, the blonde labors to suggest whatever self pleases you beat. The brunette puts you in sym' pathy with herself, the blonde puts herself in sympathy with you The brunette is a magnet, the blonde is an assimilator. Such are their habits for purposes of conquest. Their coquetrv assumes these ways and develops diff» ‘nces These are grafted on to all the onulent opp rtur.i ties of a summer season at sea shore, rural resort, mountain retreat, and amid similar scenes. Their subjects utilize all the recreations, likewise, for resources. Drives are. decoys, walks are wiles, bathing means business, and tete-a-tetes tell tales that tend to trosseaus and culminate iu cradles. The Builders of the Ark —lt is an appalling reflection, that of all the persons employed in the construction of the Ark. which was to be a sure refuge for Noah and his family, no one but himself entered that ark. For one hundred and twenty years they worked away upon the structure, careless and unmindful, laughing and jest ing. wholly legardless of righteous Noah's solemn appeals, warning and counsel ; and so, when the terrible ordeal came, they had no part or entrance into the aru of refuge which their own bands had fashiontd, bu r were buri dbeneath tne ware s, everlasting m u uu.eots of G ds wrath and displeasure And is it not so now ? Are 'her** not rnanv, who with getter us deeds and useful hands are ig >'n the cause of Christ, assist ing in the great Ark of Salvation, whose ov Tn hearts have never been touched, and who in the last day will have m entrance nr place in the kingd m of He tven ? Tr op- t » Control Elections.- Soje iU < us, says a contemporary, were the champions of popular r ; ghts in England. • f military dictation by the Crown that they passed ii statute, which has heen the law |., r ft hundred vears, that no tiOnpe sh 'Uid he-rationed within a mile of any polling t 1 l(V > on election day, and if so posted that ri,ev shou dhe withdrawn. Grant despises such safeguards ot popular liberty, and has sent troops into ne*rly every S uthern State to control the elections, and now he is tbo same thing ia the Northern cities, ; The Negro V>te in Pe.nnsvltania.— Some of the leading Radical papers of Pennsv vania are compelled to confess that the result of forcing negro suffrage upon the peorle, is likely to damage instead of benefit that party. Th * Frankhu (Pa) Hep sitory, in commenting ou the recent election, says: ‘The Democracy nwe to the negro vote their triumph in this part of the State. We do not mean by any means, that the colored voters voted for the Democratic candidates ; they had far too muen good sence for th*t. But we mean that by reason of their exer«. cising the right of suffrage, so many of those who hitherto voted and acted with the Repuh ican party, this time voted with the Democraev gto enable them to elect their ticket. There is no concealing or denying this humiliating fact.” This is a candid confession by a leading Radical journal ot the injury the fifteenth amendment has inflicted on its party. The Philadelphia Age says ; "Fifteen thousand negroes in Pennsylvania voted for the Radical members of Congress, and yet the Democratic majority on the Congressional ticket will he between six and eight thouss and In this city, more than five thousand white men deserted the Radical party on this ne grn issue, and if a fair return had been made of the vote polled, we would have carried the Democratic ticket bv from fifteen hundred to two thousand votes.”— Intelligencer. Gen. Cox Secretary "f the Interior, has been forced from Grant’s cabinet by the “presi-ure” of tne politicians. The usual correspondence between Grant and his la'e cabinet officer is complimentary on both sides, hut underneath it is the fact that Gen. Cox has heen forced out of the cabinet by political pressure made against him and headed by Senator Candler un i Cameron. The President having declared that liar niony in the cabinet was necessary to the success of the administration in the autumn elections, forced Gen. Cox to resign on the alleged grounds that he had refused to per mit his subordinate officials to be assessed for political purposes, that lie had appointed Democrats to office, and generally his ad' ministration was not of a tendency to give the Republican party its needed support These reasons were urged on the President by Senator Chandler. It is said the new Secretary will be from either Pennsylvania or Ohio, and if from the latter, State Com' missioner Delano it is very confidentially as-erted. will be nominated. O'her changes in the Cabinet are expected to follow soon. It is said that Gen. Akermar intends retir* ing on the plea ol ill-health, and Secretary Fi-rii expects ’o carrv out his long expressed intention of resigning before Congress meets. The Congressional Interference Law —The new act of C ngress for th*> regula tion of elections, and the promoting of the interest **f the Republican parry, &e . &e.. provides for the appointment ot two cx ra inspectors of election in each election dis t ict, one a Democrat and one a Republican The United States Circuit Court is to appoint the list of these extra inspectors The extra inspect >rs are to be present a’ the registration, "lection and canvassing of votes, whenever Rrpresentatives in Congress are to be elected. It also provides that the Unit’d States Marshals shall appoint, a crowd of deputies to attend at eash poll, who shall perform police duiies there. We consider this an impertinent inteifer' ence in State elections on the parr of the Federal Government, and clearly unconsti' tutional. It is an attempt to give to Federal officers the authority of enforcing State laws, and to interfere with the authority of officials. It is one more step toward that centralization of power at Washington which all men who have read history know to be had p"licy and dangerous te free gov ernment. We trust and believe it will be repealed with mueh more of the same sort of legislation, whenever sounder political ideas regain the ascendancy in this land. It is reported that many of Ihe vessels of the French navy arc to he flitted up with an apparatus intended to illuminate the line of the horizon or tfle land, at night and in cloudy weather. The apparatua consists of powerful Fresnel lenses, transmiting the light produced by the combustion of tw r o Cones of char coal, forming the poles of a large magneto-electric machine, driven by a donkey engine. The ray of light it is claimed will illuminate points on the sea coast so as to be visible at, a distance of two miles. The same apparatus is used <>n the French trans-at antic packets, and several, it is reported, have been ordered by the Russian Government. In the account of the light, instances are cited where the movements of hostile fleets, could have been detected by the use of such powerful lenses, and the ignorance of the enemy’s maneu* vres caused an entirely different result from that anticipated Hand-shaking prevails to an alerming extent, on the sidewalks just now, and candidates f.ir the fall election are numer ous By the wav, it is easy to interpret the hand shaking aspirations of the office seeker. The candidate for Congress re-ris his hand lovingly in yours, holding his elbow st'ff. This is the dignified shake. The candidate for the Legislature grasps *your hand *’yly. inserts his thumb into the knuckle joint of your fore finger and wiggles all over This is the expectant shake. The candidate for «he • ffice of Sher iff, Cor >ner. and other lucrative offices, completely absorbs your hand for a moment, then tickle* your palm with his initial fingpr, following with a regular pump handle shake and an nviration to drink. This is the uneqaiv ca 1 shake Another incident in the life -of th° late Gen. Lee is related bv Hon. II W. Hilliard, of Georgia Tr seems that cn offLr to place an immense sum of money at hi* disposal, on condition that he w;*old reside in New York end represent Southern Commerce, was declined by the General in the follow ing terms; “No, lam grateful, hu T I have a eelFimposed task, which I raus’ accom plish. I have led the young men of the South in battle ; I h *ve seen m int of them fall under my standard. I shall devote mv life n >w to training youiig men to do their d'jtj* in life,” Krupp’s Giant Gun.— The monster rifled gun which Mr Krupp, the great foundry man of Essen, presented to King William after the last war agaiost the Austrians, is now on its second visit to Paris At first it was exhibited there at the grea Exposi tion. To bring it to Paris on rail,complete with its carriage, a car of the largest dimensions had to be constructed. The Parisians admired it ns one of the wonders of modern it du>try. We do not rec dice' its dimensions Dut we know that the hotrh<hell it throws weighs I.O’X) pounds, end that every shot fired from it costs 700 Prussian thalers. The first the Prussia s saw what it was: now it wiII show them wha* it can do. That the huge thing was removed from the harb >r at I\ eh where on one oi th* heghts which commanded the bay, a rampart had been built expressly for it, and that it had been taken to Paris atari i mniense expense, is a proof that the Prussians intend to it. —Missouri Republican Somebody who seems to be tolerably ex pert wirii figures has cyphered up that our national debt stretches ten times r und the earth, and reaches as high as the moon. Here is the way he figures it : “Each greenback dollar bill is about seven inches in length Place two tbous-. and millions "f them in a line ; and it will be over 250,000 miles tong! It is 25,000 miles around the earth The public debt would, therefore make a b nd of greenback dollars that would encircled the globe more than ten times. It is 540,000 miles to the moon. If this is so, our debt would make a rope of greenback dollars long enough to cable the moon to the earth, and have over 100,000 to spare. Religious Raid on Skoket Societies. —A call signed b v ab" U ta hunderd clergymen of the State of New York—principally Methodists. Presbyterians, Baptists and Congregationalists—has been issued for a convention to assemble at Syracuse on the 15th of November next, in hostility to all secret associations. This is but a revival of the old at ti-Masonic agitation, and is set on foot to supply a need of the fanatical element in the North. The anti-slavery crusade having run its course and gone down in blood, it is necessary that these saintly bl"od-hounds ot Zion should have some new field for the employment of their Christain philanthropy - The number o. immigrants to the United States during the six months of the present year, ending June 30th, were as follows: From Great Br'tain. 103.685,; Ireland, 56,096; German States, 122 648: Sweden and Norway. 26.659 ; British and North American Possessions, 40.403 ; China. 15 740; other countries. 20,966. Total, 38','97 About one'third of these are females, except in the case <.{ the Chinese, 14 624 of whom were males and only 1,116 females. The effect of the war will be more especially felt in the German immigration of 'he present six months and during the ncxr year A party of women termed an “Anti Coolie Laundry Association” at Sacramen to. recently, and it worked beautifully for a time, the women receiving liberal patronage from the sympathizing public. But the fact that the clothes returned looked and smelled like those done up by Chinamen, led to investigate n, and it turned out that the smart women had sub-let the work to Chinese washerwomen at two-thirds the price paid by thcr c >r siding patrons, and nooket and the and fference. The concern “busted ” Once when Tom Marshall was delivering a speech in his m ist bellowing tones, a fellow’ in the audience kept singing out ‘Louder! louder!” whereupon Marshall paused for a moment, and then said, in mysterious accents: ‘Gentlemen and ladies, at the final resurrection on the great day— when Gabriel will be calling in thunder tones through his trumpet to arouse the dead—some d—d fool from this town will he heard crying out to him, “Louder! louder!” Dr. Mary E.
