Washington. Feb. 0. 18GG.
The election of Alexander II. Stephens and
Hershel! V. Johnson, to the U. S. Senate,
from the State of Georgia, is bailed with feel
ings of unmingled satisfaction and delight by
every true friend of the South. It is felt and
realized thnt it is right and proper that the
South shall be represented in Congress by
Southern men; by men who have all their
lives been identified with the interests of the
South; by men who liave won and enjoyed
the love, tlie respect, and the confidence of
the South, by having e-ast in their, lot with
their own people, and by having endured all
things and suffered all things, in common
with them. But while tbi&sentiment prevails
among all right minded men here, I must
not conceal from your readers the fact that
tho Radical Republicans are not only dis
pleased, but are actually enraged about it.—
They say it is insufferable insolence on the
part of the South to elect such men; and that
it proves that thespiritof rebellion is still the
controlling clement at the South. They take
the ground that the Southern States have no
right to elect such men; that the proper kind
of men for them to elect are Northern men
who have recently gone to the South, and
who have nothing in common with the Sootli,
and no sympathy with Southern modes of
thinking and feeling; or, if such men are not
to bo had, that the South ought to elect men
who, by their whole course during the last
five years, have gained the dislike, the dis
trust, the scorn, and the contempt, of the
great body of the Southern people.
As regards Messrs. Stephens and Johnson,
they declare that they shall never occupy
scats in the U. S. Sennte. I am free to say,
however, that I believe their objection is uot
so much to the gentlemen who have been elec
ted, as to allowing Georgia to be represent
ed in Congress at all. The determination of
the whole radical party to keep the Soutli
out of Congress and (as much as they can)
out of tho Union, until after the next Presi
dential election, grows stronger every day.
It is a most atrocious plot, and whether it
succeeds or not will lie owing, in a great meas
ure to the President. The leaders of the
radicals have held several secret meetings re
cently, in relation to the matter. They know
and do not hesitate to admit among them
selves, if the Southern representatives are ad
mitted to Congress, and the Southern States
arc allowed to take part in the next Presides
tial election, that that election will result in
the triumph of the democratic party, and in
the election of a Democratic President. To
prevent any such result, they will not scruple
to resort to any measures whatever, in order
to keep the Southern States out of the Union.
I suppose you will have received, before
this reaches you, the full text of the Emperor
Napoleon’s speech to the French Chambers,
on the 2 2d of January; but in case you have
not, I enclose a copy. There is no reason to
be dissatisfied with the Emperor’s declara
tions: although many persons here are so
dissatisfied. It is true the Emperor docs not
say that the French troops arc to be imme
diately withdrawn from Mexico. It is true
that their withdrawal is made dependant on
the consent of Maximilian. And it is true that
“the epoch for their recall” hns not yet been
fixed, and may not even be fixed tor some
months to come.
What then ? The Emperor Napoleon has
expressed, and does express his sincere desire
and intention to withdraw them at an early
day. When that day shall be, depends,
really not upon him, not upon Maximilian,
but upon ourselves, on our people, and on
our government. Napoleon went to Mexico
to do a great work, and he has accomplished
it. On the ruins of anarchy and military
despotism he has reared the beautiful fabric
of a government, which to all appearance
bids fair to last as long as our own. Nine-
tinthsof the Mexican people acquiesce in that
government, and support it with enthusias
tic devotion; for it secures to them all the
blessing of a good government,
It is plain to Napoleon thnt the Mexican
government can now maintain itself, without
his aid. For this reason, and for this alone,
he now proposes to withdraw the French
troops. If our government will assure him
of our continued neutrality; or if Mr. Seward
has already given him such an assurance, tlic
evacuation of Mexico by the Frenchtroops will
take place at an early day. But unless measures
have been taken to prevent a repetion of the
Bagdad affair, tlie French troops will remain
in Mexico until some indefinite period in tlic
future. ,

and other worthies of the infamous rebellion,
and no effort is spared by their adulators and
partisans to make apparent tlie fact that they
are just as defiant ns ever.—Balt. American.
I find the above in a late number of the
iTelegraph, and I copy it in order to say, for
God’s sake do not suppose that it expresses
the sentiments of any considerable portion of
the people ofBaltimorc. I lived in that city
during the greater portion of the war, and I
know the people of the Monumental city well
Nine-tenths of them and nearly all the people
of wealth, and refinement, were connected by
the tics of blood and relationship with the
men who fought uuder Lee and Johnston, and
course sympathized with the South. They
ere punished with bitter and cruel
severity for that sympathy, and all ex
pressions and manifestations of it were
repressed. The portraits of Lee, John
ston, Beauregard, and other Southern Gener
als, were dragged from every shop window
and trampled in the mire of the streets.—
Young ladies were not alio wed to wear red and
white colors, as a red ribbon with a lace colar.
Even nurse girls, with infants in their arms,
were forced to go home, because the babies
which they carried wore red and white stock
ings. These acts of petty tyranny were ap
plauded by the American, which was the or
gan of a class of men who came to Baltimore
from the North, in I860, and who fattened
and grew rich by persecuting and causing the
arrest of the old and respected citizens of
tli; i place. Tu.'-c interlopers, of course, had
ernment to back
the aid of the
constitution that is utterly repugnant to
them. Their Inst mes sure wnq tlie passage of
the registration act which ci isfraueliises more
than half ol tlic old residents of the State.
Tiiose Baltimorians who were recently in
the late Confederate army have now returned
home, and because their relatives and friends
treat them kindly, and because tlie people
will have in their windows, and will buy the
portraits of the men they love aud honor, the
American wax«s wroth, and vents its impo
tent rage as above. Thank Heaven, the time
has gone by when tree American citizens
could he arrested as" sympathizers with the
South, on the information of the American,
I send to you with this, a copy of the two
days speech of Senator Simmer, recently do
livered.
It was,'as you will see, a vain, empty, and
pedantic effusion. Hie negroes crowded tlic
galleries to hear him, and he, addressed one
portion of his speech to them. He glorified
Touissant l’Ouverture and the recent insur
gents at Jamaica, and urged his black heroes
to follow their example, and so, iie plainly
intimated, lie would have them do here.
“The freedman, continued Mr. Summer,
though forbearing and slow to anger, will not
submit to outrage always. lie will resist.—
Resistance will be organized. And here will
begin the terrible war of races, forseen by
Jefferson, where God, in all his attributes, lias
none which can take part with the oppressors.
The tragedy ot St. Domingo will he renewed
on a wider theatre with bloodier incidents
It was the denial of rights to colored peo
ple, after excessive promises, which caused
that fearful insurrection. After various
vicissitudes, during which the rights of ciii
zenship were conferred on' free people of
color and then resumed, the slaves at last
rose.”
The intolerable stench emitted by the
negroes in the galleries became at last so
offensive, that in the Senate a rule lias been
adopted which requires them to confine their
presence to two of the galleries. These two
arc on cither side of the gallery occupied by
the diplomatic corps. The remainder of tlie
Senate galleries is fortunately free from their
presence. It is not so however, in the House
of Representatives.
Here, they may be said to monopolize the
gallaries, to the exclusion of almost everybody
else. The gallery opposite thej Speaker, the
longest gallery of the four, seating about 450
persons, is crowded with them every day.—
The “poor white trash” get along as well as
they can, in the two smaller galleries at the
two ends of the hall, and in tlic other two
smaller ones, at each side of the Reporter’s
gallery, behind the Speaker.
Tlie bill to repeal tlic unconstitutional test
oath, is now before the Judiciary Committee
of the House. I am sorry to say that the
Committee will report adversely to tlie bill,
aud it will therefore, probably lie lost. I had
anticipated and hoped different action, but I
fear the Radical strength of the House will be
arrayed against the rcpeal*of the oatb.

Mr. Kihbec, of Pulaski: A bill to repeal
an act allowing Ordinaries to charge certain
the Constitution of the United States, as fol
lows :
Every order, resolution, or vote, to which
the concurrence of the Sennte and House of
Representatives may be necessary, (except on
a question of adjournment,) shall be present
ed to the President of the United States, and
before the same shall take effect, shall lie ap-
E roved by him; or being disapproved by
im, shall be repassed by two-thirds of
the Senate and House of Representatives, ac
cording to the rules and limitations prescrib
ed in the case of a bill.
It is true that tlie vote necessary to pass a
resolution proposing an amendment to the
Constitution will repass it over the President’s
objections, but it must nevertheless take the
same coarse as a bill. The directions of sec
tion 7 are specific and mendatory, and admit
of no more question than does the mathemati
cal proposition that two and two make four.
The wisdom or absurdity of the constitution
al requirement of approval as a matter of form
may be affirmed or denied, but the fact of the
requirement exists. Should the President
disapprove of tlie amendment proposed, and
give his reasons therefor, new matter will en
ter into the proposition for a repassugo, and
many members who might approve of the
measure by itself may, in deference cither to
the reasoning or the wishes of the Executive,
a co-ordinate branch of tlic Government,
change their votes and thus defeat it
The only noticeable feature of tlic debate
between the introduction and the vote upon
the resolution yesterday was the overbearing
insolence of Thad. Stevens and his bearding
of the President, whom lie charged with vio
lating the privileges of the House in express
ing his viewsto a distinguished Senator on the
subject of constitutional amendment. He
charged the Executive with “usurpation and
abuse of power,” ridiculed him as a pundit at
the other end of the Capital,” ancl taunted
him with n reminder that opinions “expressed
in that way a few centuries ago to a Parlia
ment by a British King would have cost him
his head.” He declared that the President
had nothing to do with the matter under con
sideration, and that “they should not trouble
themselves to send this resolution to Andrew
Johnson.”

Legality of the Honse Vote on the Consti-
tuional Amendment.
The attitude in which the Republican ma
jority stands before the country is this: The
representatives or ten Statcs.’fifty-eight in
numl>er, arc excluded from their scats until
their credentials are examined by a commit
tee appointed for that purpose. * The States
thus held unrepresented were either original
parties to the Constitution, or hare been ad
mitted as States by laws as yet unrepealed.—
No bill is pending even to recall tieir admis
sion ; nor lias Congress passed anj enactment
disturbing their relations to tho Union. The
device of keeping their representatives out,
on pretense of examining their credentials,
is a trick as impudent as dishonest; and when
it is resorted to in order to make a minority
of the House count as two-thirds, and enable
them thus to sanction vital alterations of the
Constitution, it becomes an infamous usurpa
tion.
The question to go before the people, if the
Senate shall lend its criminal complicity to
this dishonest device, will be. The Constitu
tion of Thoddens Stevens vs. The Constitution
of George Washington. We are with the de
fendant. The Constitution of Washington
was the child of patriotism, conceived by the
spirit of conciliation, and bom amid the ac
clamations of a grateful people. The Con
stitution of Tliaddeus Stevens is a bastard
son of Fraud—“ditch-delivered by a drab.”

The rules were suspended and Mr. Ezzard
offered the following:
Whereas, the establishment of peaceful and
permanent good order and fellowship be
tween the people of all sections of the Union
upon honorable and equitable terms, is an ob
ject greatly commendable and ardently desir
ed universally by our citizens: Whereas, the
policy of inviting foreign immigration to this
section is questionable as to its benefits or per
nicious effects upon tbe present and future
welfare of our inhabitants and of native citi
zens.
Be it therefore Resolved by the General
Assembly of the State of Georgia, thnt the
introduction of foreign emigration into this
State, in the present perilous crisis of our
political and domestic relations, and more
especially from a quarter where its citizens
either directly or indirectly, or by taking up
arms in the recent conflict between he peo
ple North and South, aided in increasing its
violence and devastating effects upon human
ity, the peace and prosperity of our national
existence should be reluctantly encouraged or
sanctioned.
Relying therefore upon the patriotic efforts
and active energy of our citizens, we feel as
sured that no foreign element is needed in
aid of our system of government, or in ad
dition to the class of laboring population
already amongst us.

THE COLUMBUS BIOT.
We copy account of this painful affair from
the Columbus papers of Tuesday, which
modify the story of pur own informants, giv
en yesterday. The whole difficulty appears
to have been caused by the outrage and itn-
provoked conduct of the black troops, and
we need expect nothing else so long as the
Government insist in putting such forces
over the white freemen of tlic South :
From the San and Times.]
Negro Soldier Shot.—An affair occur-
cil yesterday afternoon about six o’clock
which’till regret, but which could not have
been avoided. From what we can leant
from witnesses, both white and black, it
seems tliat two young men were going down
Broad street,* when directly opposite
the store of A. Crane & ,Co., a lew
doors below the burnt district on
Broad street, when they were met by a negro
soldier, who to all appearances purposely fan
against one of them. The gentleman remark
ed, “you had better run over me,” or words to
that effect, when the negro commenced curs
ing him most bitterly for a “son-of-a-bitch,”
a “rascal,” and using the most insulting
language. The gentleman did his best to
avoid a difficulty, telling the negro to go-
away, and walking off slowly. At last the
negro asserted he had put hundreds like him
under the ground and started ,to draw a bayo
net, when the gentleman shot him three times.
The negro with bayonet in his hand and still
cursing tottered back to the shanties on the
corner He was carried to the barracks and,
we are informed, died in a few minutes.
The gentleman who fired the shot is alleged,
to be Mr. Cooper Lindsay, one of our best
and bravest young men. He, fearing the ven
geance of the troops, fled, pursued by a squad
of the negro soldiers, one of whom fired at
him at Gunby’s comer. This negro was ar
rested and carried by the civil authorities to
the guard house, but wa9 afterwards con
ducted to tlic barracks by Mayor Wilkins.—
Mr. L. escaped, anil so did the gentleman
who was with him, said to be Mr. Hub Ruth
erford. Two negro soldiers came to the scene
of shooting with muskets, cursing furiously,
but were ordered back by officers. They
obeyed, but came back in the same style, and
one tried to strike a white man with a mus
ket, but was prevented.
A collision between the whites and blacks
at one time was greatly feared, as there was
much excitement. The officers, however, or.
dered all the colored troops to the barrack*.
The officers used their best endeavors to
avoid all difficulty and promised that the
citizens should bo unmolested.
A gentleman, Mr. Sol. Crew, while walk-
king along quietly at Duran’s corner after the
shooting, was knocked down by a musket in
the hands of a negro soldier. Afterwards
several shots were fired from the barracks in
Bank’s building.
In tbc excitement Mr. B. Ledbetter, while
in the crowd, was accidentally shot in the
leg by a glancing ball. The shot was not
from a negro.
The negroes were confined to tlie barracks
last night, and after seven o’cleck all was
quiet.
' The officers of the garrison here have, we
believe, tried to avoid difficulties and have
everything go on pleasantly; but a large ma
jority of the negro soldier? have done all in
their power to provoke trouble, and have
sought difficulties.
IVe presume the affair will be investigated
this morning, and that both gentlemen will
appear.
Since writing the above we learn that Ma
jor Warner, formerly of tho Naval Iron
Works, who was walking on the opposite
side of the street, was shot in the leg by a ball
fired from one of the windows of the bar
racks in Banks’ building. His leg was am
putee! above the knee a short time after, by
Dr. Foard. Stanford and others. These shots
were perfectly inexcusable.
From the Enquirer.
Colored Soldier Killed.—Our city was
thrown into a fury of excitement yesterday
afternoon, caused by the shooting of one of
the negro soldiers stationed at this post, by
Mr. C. Lindsey, who resides near this city.—
It is said that the soldier grossly insulted Mr.
Lindsey by pushing him off the sidewalk aid
cursing him. Mr. Lindsy was caught by the
soldiers, but was subsequently released from
them by o^r citizens. Several persons, black
and white, were knocked down, and as we
hear, from our office, the discharge of fire
arms in different directions, we are led to fear
that more blood will be shed by tlie excited
populace and soldiers. The soldiers swear
vengeance, and the citizens seem determined
to protect themselves,
i Wc regard this as a most unfortunate affair
Praver :in; l every reflecting man deplores such an
| issue as has been thus suddenly thrust upon
I our people. But while wc regret it, nothing
short of what has occurred could have been
expected; for when U. S. offieors so far
acknowledge their inability to control the
men under their command as to advise citi
zens, who complain to them of outrages com
mitted by their soldiers, to protect their own
