THH ItPRKU OOCJKT AKX]
The public miad baa been considerably
exercised of bite by a dishonorable trick of
a Radical member of the House, through the
success of which the hands of the Supreme
Court aro to be tied against a large share of
Radical legislation and the usurpations of
Radical officials. A bill conferring the same
right of appeal to the Supreme Court on in-
ter>al revenue officers as is now enjoyed by
officers of the customs, came lrom the Senate.
Mr. Sclierick moved to take it up out of. its
regular order* and as unanimous consent was
required, he assured the House thnt it con
tained nothing objectionable or to which any
member was opposed. Tho Democrats, trust
ing in his honor, made no objection, and the
bill was taken up, whereupon Mr. Wilson
who was in the secret, sprung an amendment
declaring that no appeal should be taken
irom courts below, to the Supreme Court in
volving tho constitutionality of an act of
Congress -a matter wholly foreign to the
original bill, and which took the opposition
by surprise, no one dreaming that Scheuck
would bo dishonorable enough to take such
an advantage of their courtesy. The bill,
under this trick, was amended, passed, and
hurried back to the Senate, which concurred
promptly in the House amendment, and sent
the measure to the President. The object of
the amendment is to prevent a decision by
the Supreme Court on the McCurdle case,
which is now before it ou appeal from the
district Court of Mississippi.
Such arc tbe facts, and perhaps there has
been no more disgraceful act of this disgrace'
ful Congress. But wlta^do they care for
honor, truth and good faitb, so long as their
point is carried! It is no answer to the
allegation of fraud to say that tbe Republi
cans have a large majority and could have
passed the amendment in any event. To
this plea our contemporary of the World very
pointedly replies: “They could have passed
the amendment; but without the unanimous
consent obtained under false pretences, they
Could not have passed it so soon. In this
stage of the controversy time is a vital ele
ment, as much so as it is in military opera
tions when a few hours’ difference in the
arrival of Hroops may decide the fate of
battle. The MeCilrdle case is already in the
Supreme Court; it has already been argued;
the Court is deliberating on its decision;
and if it should be' announced before this
amendment becomes n law, the Reconstruc
tion scheme topples to the ground. A single
day may make all the difference between
success and total defeat. The President is
entitled to ten days to prepare a veto, and
every day which might have l»een added to
those ten would have increased tbe peri! im :
pending oyer the Republican party. If tho
Democrats had not given their consent to
takff up the innocent bill upon which this

A Piidn AnouMENT.—’That prince of derq-
ngoguesand paragon of hypocrites, Joseph E.
Brown, is trying to bring odium upon the
present Democratic party because it contains
men who were Whigs in other times and
under issues entirely different from those of
the present day. Why should not men, who
agree in principle and policy on all existing
issues, net together t Why does the old
political harlot forget to hold up the Yankee-
Negro-Radical party of Georgia to public
ridicule because its acknowledged leader nnd
champion is a man who hypocritically
worshipped at the Democratic s}irine in
former days; who made actual war upon
the Government before Georgia went out
of the Union and was,, therefore, a
traitor by his own doctrines; who wqs
60 bravo during tho war that ho "pre
ferred seeing every man, woman and child.of
the Sooth annihilated rather than submit to
Yankeo domination; who hated thb negro so-
intensely thaf.'He was shocked at thq very,
idea of .his becoming a soldier and fighting'
in our cause I ■' We allado to one Joseph E.
Brown, whose treachery (to use the language
of a distinguished Georgiau who formerly
acted with him) to his country and race oasts
a mellow light upon the treason of JudftS Is
cariot.
If the Whigs and Democrats of Georgia
are together, it is a noble nnd patriotic uuiop,.
a union on principle and for an object about
which they have never-diffoned in the past. 1
Neither are incnnsisteiff. 1 They have come
together in an hour of peril' to save their
State from Yankce-Negro domination, and
the Constitution of their common country
from overthrow, at the hand? of just such
pien as Joseph E. Brown and his follow-
conspirators. No man can impeach their
motive! or question their patriotism, nnd
U&rr tkr Telegraph.
' The'Campaigti In Georgia.
Messrs. Ertilors:—Your editorial of the lsth
instant seems to suggest the impropriety of put
ting forward candidates for Congress who cannot
take the oath of office required in the Itecon
atruction Acts, and who, therefore, would not be
permitted to take their scats if elected. 1 ' Byyour
permission, I will present two reasons why this
view is not correct in the present emergency :
First Our organization contemplates and aims
at prevention, and is not aggressive; at least for
the present The election of sound men by the
people will prevent the Radicals of the State
from occupying tho seat3 ia Congress. Better
let those seats bo forever vacant than to bo dis
graced by such men as Whiteley and Edwards.
Second. We need tho moral influence and aid
of our leading and popular men in every Con
gressional District, as well as our best and mo3t
influential men for tho Legislature and all the
elective offices, in order to arouse tho peoplo and
bring them to the polls to vote down (he negro
Constitution.
The oppressed debtors of the State, with whom
1 am In fall sympathy, should be aroused to the
vital-truth, that if they 6&vc the poor remnaDtof
their property under cover of the Belief clause of
the Atlanta Constitution, it can only prove a tem
porary shelter from the storm; that there is no
permanent peace in it; that It has to pass the or
deal ot a perfidious Congress, and the more cep
tain destruction of judicial authority; and in the
last resort tbe reflux of the popular tide which
will at last revive their debts, sweep away their
property and leave them on a social and financial
and self-imposed political level with the misera
ble and depraved African—that it will be too late
for retraction oi the fatal act of ratification when
the relief clanse, the only inducement, shall have
been swept away. But still more vital, the truth
should be daguerreotyped on the mind of every
poor deluded debtor in the land, that
if he eould, by remote.-probability, save his
hard earned property, and forever avoid the
tlie payment of his debts, the damning effect of
sealing negro government on the -S tate would In
a short time drive the virtuous and pore, the en
terprising and the intelligent, to 6cck homes else
where; that bis property would be worthless here
in this market, and untenable as a home tor his
loved offspring—because in it- they must sink to
abject poverty, nnd to a social level with the ne
gro-mongrel race that would soon curse this whole
land of ours. That the remorse of self degrada
tion, of disgrace self-imposed, and of ruin upon
the children and wives we love, called down by
onr own ballots - upon ns and them, can be but
poorly compensated for by the paltry savings of a
wrecked fortune, and a homestead by far too near
to Paudemoninm on earth, to be tenanted by
onr loved families when we' are in tbe
grave. I wish the people - could save
their property. I have advocated Belief before
the courts, through the press and before tbe peo
ple. My heart is with them. But-in the name of
all wo love;-and all we hope for, lot us save our
honor and our families from degradation and ruin.
Let AS die of starvation guarding the pnrity of onr
altars, rather than willingly aid in debauching
them. With negro equality we are doomed.—prop
erty worthless and life a burthen. With social
purity, political and constitutional liberty, even
with poverty bearing ns down, we can, and will,
rise as a people from tke dust, and ultimately
clothe ourselves in our former glory. Wc are not
without hope until we have parted with honorand
bartered away our spirit ofmanhepd. . > ’ J
But.the object of this letter is to impress upon
the Hotspurs of onr party tho trnth.as to their
suicidal policy of denouncing ss criminal, and
unworthy of respect, that class of men who
contemplate voting for the negro Constitution
for the sake of relief. This is by far’tho short
est and most expeditious method of forming and
sealing for years to come a Radical party in this
State of white men ■ and negroes, that will be
most formidable, in lieu of the miserable and
evanescent organization that now exists of ne
groes and depraved white men.
Our people are not influenced by abuse and
crimination—a stylo of argument dictated by
passion, and wholly powerless for good. Many
of them may be induced, by respectful argu
ments addressed to their reason, to change their
'^pinions and purposes, and most of them te
'support such men for office as will be trus to
our interests. ..
Let our orators firsvp those who are amend.—
But wo need adilierent style of loglo.to enlist
tbe attention of that class who are repulsed by
severity. Respectfully, etc.,

tamely submitting, and, like Hicawber, com
placently hoping for something tq-tura up.
This astonishing condition of affairs W ex
plained by Mr. Stephens as a peculiarity of
the Amerioan mind—a reverence for actual
authority, however lawless, and a desire ’ to
suppress it through every exhaustive process
of peace, and, failing in this, • submission
with the best grace possible: Tlie Radicals
are perfectly well acquainted with this truly
American - indiosyncrasy—this atve of the
fasces of government—and benco mov’d’ for
ward to a possession of the symbols of pojver
0? fair equivalents for the right to hold them
'legitimately. Thej 1 , likewise, seem to com
prehend the dre^yl of Democracy. to commit
an overt net, which* howevpr valid,, may »p
pear, or be made to -appear, resistance to the
laws and rebellion against them. Thus Rad
icalism, holding the greater part of the Gov
ernment, advances to the seizure of the entire
machine; while Democracy, satisfied with
protesting and hoping, yields to the standard
of empire, and seeks to avoid the pit-falls
and snares of the enemy.
* * *
Mr. Stephens states that the Democrats are
not at all disheartened at the campaign in
New Hampshire. Considering the herculean
efforts put forth by .the Radicals to carry
that State, their victory, by a reduced major
ity from last year, is by no means indicative
of the result when each State will have to
takecareof itself inNovember.
Great exertions will be made to wrest
Connecticut from tho Democrats on the 6th
of April. As a means to this end, Mr. Thad-
dcus Stevens has issued his curious pronun-
cinmento about Alabams, in wUtt tbe arch
Radical betrayers such liberal views. This
is a temporary device to paralyze the argu
ments of the Democratic orators against the
nroscript ive and perfidious actions of Congress
toward Alabama in particular and the South
generally. , ,
It has been some tmie stnee tbe Radicals
bad a New Orleans or Memphis riot to woik
up into capital against the President and the
South. In the exaggerated Tennessee diffi
culties, so,shamefully magnified by General
Thomas, Mr. Stephens very justly perceives
an attempt to fire tbe Northern heart apd so
cute a decent pretext for the suspension of
habeas corpus in the North as well ns in tbe
South.
About impeachment; Mr. Stephens is in
doubt. Could the vote be taken td day, Mr.
Johnson would go by the board, Every pro-
castinatiou, however, gives him strength, ahtj,

tog, thinking promt, we may here pause to used
tuat the long continued attempts by the govern
ment ot Great Britain to root ont tbe name and
church of St. Patrick m Ireland, has been the most
constant as well as most fruitml cause ot Irish
grievance and wrong. -
Do not, tny friends, suppose I am going into a
discursive or exhaustive abuse of-the British Gov
ernment; that I am here to vituperate British laws,
the British throne, tbe British Queen, or the
British Government. Eighteen years ago America
presented to tlie world n proud pre-eminence in
every political aud Constitutional lrecdom. Light
taxaliou and targe personal liberty characterized
the Republic, the assent of each to the grand unity
at Wisuington invoked the panegyric which, by
contrast, reflected on Britain. Bui to-day things
are changed; surroundings ol the hour impress
me with the. falsities oi declamation and the oroi
des of
. Men in glass bouses onght to be careful of the
uso of projectiles, and living nnder thst new dis
pensation of statesmanship (so-called) which
ornaments the capital—which refines our Con
stitution, under which the States wero bound in
political and sovereign equality, until, like Sat
utn, tbe Union devours its own children. I am
too sick of tyranny at hotnd to itinerate iu-searclt
of grievance*.
To-day the British Government may pass,
without any fling irom me. For the Republic,
as administered by Republicans, presents a pic
turc I cau neither speak of- with patience, nor
contemplate without honor.
* We cau.'ouly pray tbe interposition of Heaven
to avert from us the absolutism from which other
nations have been partially emancipated, aud
the crash and carnage which follow changes in
government, when the wheels turn back and the
popular explosion drives off splinters and scat
ters death in every direction.
“There is power in the nation to protect it from
ruin, power to reassert the fundamental law of
Constitutional government, power to save the Re-
JUblic irom being immolated with the dews ot iis

away the stone from the sepulchre and call forth
the imprisoned spirit to walk forth in all its majes

Fellow countrymen, I trust it is not inoppor
tune, or outside the inspiration of the occasion,
to'conjure you to stand by tbo great principles
-for which many of you; friends, brothers and
sons poured out their life-blood from the Poto
mac’to the Rio Grande. We-would be false to
ourselves and false to the memories of the past,
if we could cast a sneei upon their graves, or
forgetfulness over their acts. They were our
brothers, und at our bidding went out under the
conviction of duty to do or die in Freedom’s
cause. While defeat Has imposed its duties,'
and henceforth nationalitv mast be respected
as tho will of- the nation; while under tbe flag
of the United states we must stand up manfully
in acceptance of tho duties of citizenship, and.
must meet every essentia! of allegiance with
fidelity, yet faitb in the past is consistent with
this duty of citizeuship, and tho statesman who
would question your right to the memories of
the past six years, would oxpo3e an enormity of
ignorance, at which every reputable Irishman
would smile. AnyotUempt to change opinion
by force would only tend to make an idol of.
worship to the persecuted ; and besidos, the’
heart may bo true to memories and true to liv-i
ing issues. The affection of tho . widow, in her
drapery of gloom And'tears, is more to be trust
ed than the 3mfles ' <5f a mistress, who has no.
memories to bless and -no lost ones to mohrn.
We, Irishmen, can Chme under the flag ol tbc-
Unlted States and Celebrate our memories. 1 f
Evert- nationality can have its day of celtbra-!
tion. Then why may. not men born hereunder
lhuse.skica have as much right to their memories
as foreigners ? Are they to be strangers and worse
thinTXHes In the land of their birth, and sniorg
tbe very tombs of their ancestors ? God fort-id.
Fot<«fy part, to-day in this Hail, I pour outlay
tribute to the Irishmen who maintained with their
lives .tiiti courage and gallantry of our people.
Savacpsh gave some eleven eompojiiea to the war,
and some from this city united with their.Jeliow-

with the tide .and left but the testimony o-a name,

Poor Ireland! Wnfll willbecome of your future
without your “Blarney Stone?” What can these
editors give in return for so great a loss?—an cdl
torial from Greeley on tho rights of natnraltzed
citizens—a sonnet from Foruoy on tho “Boya of
Kilkenny”—?in essay on the VShillclah” by Sum
ner, and aouje T,«mkee invention to take its place,
patronized and recommended by. Henry Ward
Beecher. These might com pensate, but-a true
Irishman would prefer “the Blarney Stone” to all
the XLIX Congress con’d give in return.
- As for myself, I call for their impeachment be
fore the high Conrt of Flatterers and Humbugs,
and demand that they do take the back track with
that stone and deposit it in the ruins of Blarney
Castle. Tiie rock of Plymouth has enough bom
bast, and vanity, egotism and self-adulation left to
Ust the editorial fraternity of New England for a
hundred years to come, without robbing Ireland
of her Blarney Stone.
Starnes bad- been killed by the accidental
discharge of a gun.- We gather the following
particulars of the sad event from the Chron
iclc & Sentinel .of yesterday, aud most
heartily endorse all that is said by that jour
nal of the superior intelligence, excellent
character and moral worth of the deceased:
Wc arc pained to chronicle the accidental
resolution in the Senate, where it was _de-
dence cn the Band Hills, late yesterday after
noon, occasioned by the accidental discharge
of his fowling pioco. The Judge, wo learn, had
been ont bird snooting, and, returning, had got
near to his house when, in some manipulations
of tho cap of the gun, it was prematurely dis-.
charged, lodging tho contents in tho left side of
tbo head, producing instant.death. These are
all the particulars which had reached us up to
tho time of going to press.
Judge Starnes is too well and favorably known
to the people of Georgia to require from us any
extended eulogy. In this community he was a
highly respected and useful member of society.
Upright and manly in his into;course with lus
fellow-men—warm-hearted aud benevolent in bis
feelings—sincere and truthful in his affections—of
incorruptible integrity and virtue—his death has
leit a void in our community which cannot be
easily filled.
Asalawyerand juirst, Judge Starnes stood in
the very first rank of his profession. Warmly at
tached to the law, his whole life has been devoted
to its study and practice. When qniteayoung
man he was elected and filled, with great credit to
himself for several years, the office' ot Attorney
General of tho State. Subsequently he wac elected
to aud filled a term of four years upon the Bench
of the Middle Circuit, and later, became one oi tbe
Associate Judges ot the Supreme Court. In all
these positions he won and secured the admira
tion and respect ol the people of his native State.
Truly a great andgood man has fallen. While
we would notobtrude upon tho deepand poignant
griet which overwhelms his distressed family, we
tender to them our sincere condolence in their ir
reparable affliction,and assure them that our heart
beats responsive to the throes of their deep agony.
May the Lord, in His infinite love, strengthen
tbe bereaved heartof tho disconsolate widow and
throw the protecting shadow of His merciful
wings over the heads of hi3 fatherless children

The House on the Alabama Case.
In tlie House of Representatives, March 18,
1868, Mr. Stevens, of P< nnsylvania, made an
argument in favor of universal and impartial
suffrage as the only foundation on which the
government can stand. He said: “You
must build all your science of government on
that, and when you attempt to depart froth
it, you-forget that you are a man; that yon
have become a tyrant, and deserve the ex
ecration ot the human race. There is no
other way, but by universal suffrage, in which
you, and I, and every man can protect our
selves against the injustice, the inhumanity,
and the wrongs which would Otherwise be
inflicted on us. We have got to a point in
this nation when we can adopt that great and
glorious principle, and no man dares to say
that we shall not adopt it.”
The bill is as follows:, *-
Whereas, The form of government of sev
eral of the States of the Union is not republican
in this particular : that by the Constitution and
laws of States political rights are made to depend
upon parentage and race, and are united in certain
families to the exclusion of others equally loyal
citizens of the United States; and, wnereas, it is
the constitutional duty of tke United States to
guarantee to ev. ry state a republican form of gov
ernment ; therefore,
Be it enacted, etc., That all provisions and en
actments iu-Statu Constitutions and-law* whieb
make di.-linrtibn in political and civil rights an onif
citizens of tbe United States, or deny such rights
to any such citiJfcns on Account of parentage, race
or color, are hereby declared to be void and oi no
effect. .. ..
Bee. 2- And.he it iurther enacted, That if any
p rson shall prevent any qualified citizen of the
JuitedStates from exercising the right ol suffrage
at any election in any State, nnder pretence .that
such citizen is disqualified by the Constitution
and laws of such State on accouut of his parentage,
r.ice, lineage or color,such person shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof iu
the proper conrt, shall be sentenced to pay a flue
not cxccediug $5600, or undergo impriaoumenvnot
exceeding five years, of both, at the discretion td
the court.
■Universal suffrage, opt rating in"the face of
every man to be governed by the‘votes cast,
is one of those doctrines planted deeper than
granite, and upon which our fathers laid the
loupdatioii of their immortal work—the wprk
of universal liberty—which will last just as
long as that immortal doctrine shall last, and
no longer. o
Mr. ttevens, having announced his propo
-sitions, asked the the Glerk of the House to
read his prepared speech in advocacy of them
which was done. Mr. SteveDs’ remarks were
delivered with a 'cleurness and strefagtb of
voice not before manifested this session.
He closed, by offering the following as a sub
stitute for the bill:
Be it enacted, etc., That every male citizen
of tho United States above tho sge of twenty-one
years, who was born or naturalized in the United
States, or who has declared his intention to be
come naturalized, shall bo entitled to vote upon
all national questions that may arise in any
State of tbo Union where he shall have resided
for the time of thirty days, and no distinction
shall be made between such citizen on any ac
count, except toV treason, felony or other infa
tnous crimes' riot .below tho grade of felony at
common law.
Mr. Broomall withdrew the motion and;the
bill and amendments remain with the Jtidi
ciary Committee.
Mr. Farnsworth, from tbe Committee on
Reconstruction, reported a bill to’ftdmit the
State of.Alabama to representation in Con
grass, which was ordered to be printed. He
would ask to have it considered upon 'to-mor
row. The bill is as follows:
Whereas, The people ot Alabama, ia pursuance
of the provisions ot an act of Congress entitled an
act for the more efficient goverument of the rebel
States, passed Mareh 3, 1867, and the acts supple
mentary thereto, have framed a Constitution of
State government, which is republican in form;
and whereas, ut an election; commt ncing the 4th.
day ot February, 1803, a large majority of the legal
voters of said State voted at said election tor the
adoption ot said Constitution; therefore,
Be it enacted, That tbu State of Alabama shall
be entitled to representation ltV Congress as soonj
as the Legislature erf raid State (the members of*
which WOTa eleeted at the election mentioned in

TIIE NEW GEORGIA BILL.
The telegraph announced, some days ago,
that the Supreme Court had overruled the
objection that the State of Georgia was not
represented in • the person of Gov. Jenkins,
and allowed the bill brought by him to be
filed. Yesterday, we were informed through
the same chanuel that the Court had taken a
motion by the State’s counsel for a prclimina
ry injunction into advisement. It is uncer^
tain wheu the decision ; on this latter motion
will be rendered—we hope very soon—and in
tho meantime it may not be uninteresting to
our readers, to know the precise acts from
which the State asks that the defendants,
Grant, Meade, Ruger, etc., etc., shall be en
joined. These are given at the conclusion
of the bill, and are as follows:
1. That the defendants be enjoined, to desist en
tirely from the commission oi the wrongful act*
herein complained of, and to surrender back the
possession ot the State Capitol ot your orator into
the keeping and custody of the Governor and
Treasurer aud other officers and agents of the said
Slate*who have been detiuded therefrom.
3. That they be enjoined to restore the posses
sion of 6ald railroad aud its appurtenances to the
proper officers of said State.
3. That they render a just, true and perfect ac
count of all moneys receivtd by them lor or on
account ot-the earnings of eaid railroad, or trom
the tolls, lrelghta or lures of the same, arid pay.
rover the whole amount thereof to yonr orator..n |
4. That Ue defendants he strictly enjoined rtof
to take or receive, either by themselves, Ui< ir con
federates, agents or servants, any me ueyapr prop
erty of any kind whatever owned by or belonging
to your orator, and especially to abstain stri-. tly
irom all attempts to get into their bands the mo
ney hereinbefore mentioned as belonging toy onr
orator and in toe Treasury ot the Slide.
5.. That they make a full, true and period answer : l
to this hill ou their respective oath=>.
feated in the most shameful manner, where
but 7, viz : Messrs. Davis, Harding, Latham,
Nesmith, Powell, Saulsbury and Wilson, of
Missouri, ha i the moral courage and moral
rectitude to stand by an outraged class of
their ieliow-cjlizens.
President Lincoln could not persuade him
self for a long time that Gen. Grant issued
tliat order; but when Mr. Haskcl, of Paducah,
Ky., succeeded in convincing him of the fact,
he immediately revoked it, and.expressed.his
indignation at the outrage in the strongest
terms, in presence of Messrs. Guriy. Lilien-
thal and Wise, from Cincinnati, and Bijar,
from Louisville.
There was nobody, at the time, to defend
the despotic and barbarous order of General
Grant; not a voice was heard in its favor or
defence; but plenty—besides President Lin
coln, seven Senators and fifty-three members
of Congress—in its condemnation. Every
tree man felt outraged by the lawless ukase
of a military chieftain, wkoni they now want
to force upon us as Chief Magistrate of the
country.
We have to say this: As a Jew, we can
not and will not. vote for a man who has
doDC usa more shameless injustice than any
man in power in this century has done us in
any civilized, country. Therefore we hope
and expect that the entire Jewish press will
come out boldly and justly against the move
ment to nominate Gen. Grant as President of
tlie United States. Again, as a citizen who
loves his country and her free institutions;
who considers it his solemn' duty to protect
justice and freedom as much as it may be in
his "power, we cannot and must not entrust
the banner of justice and freedom to the
Itands of a ntitn who, when possessing the
brief power of a commander of a volunteer
army', (and among them thousands of Jews,)
Abused it so outrageously, and trampled upon
his follow-citizens because they were too
weak to resist.
That man, in our estimation, is unfit to.be
the chief of a republic whose citizens claim
equal justice and equal freedom.. Therefore,
wc hope and expect from all political lead
ers to drop the scheme of nominating Gen.
Grant. As a man, we -feel an- aversion to
every person who disrespects the just Claims
of humanity and justice, and Gen. Grant,- by
his Order No. 11. 1862, is guilty of that dis*
respect.
That is part of what we have to say on
this point, and we will say it over and oyer
again, until the masses shall know, and ap
preciate it; till tbe feeling of honor shall
awake also with those who cry with the mil
lions,.laugh or weep by order of their news
paper, cheer or scorn ad libitum.
When a few • scanty and poverty-stricken
insurance companies in New York offended
the Jews by an order not to insure their prop
erty,'there -wa& noise, meetings, resolutions,
etc.; now, when one who outraged the Jew be
yond measure or comparison, one who out
raged the Jew, the man, and. the citizen, tlie
laws of the United States, and the sacred
cause of justice and humanity, is proposed as.
President of. the United States, nobody has;
the courage or the rectitude to talk. Is this'
jrinciple ? Is it manful ? Is it honorable?—
'Let cowards be silent for utility’s , sake; but
let meu speak out honorably.

“Jennie June,” in a letter to the Cincinnati
Commercial, says:
Musical receptions, or “musicales”, as they
are familiarly called, are this reason very
ceremonious affairs, and require an elaborate
evening toilette. No more washed muslins

trains two yards long, and waists trimmed
with point lace, or if lighter materials are
preferred, white organdie, puffed and

From the Vicksburg Herald, ilarr.h 1.]
About twenty five miles from this city is a
small stream kcown as Bear C.reek. which
empties iuto tlie Big Black ,river. For some
time past, strange stories have been told'by
the negroes of an extraordinary animal seen
near this creek. These stories were laughed
at and derided by tiie citizens, no. one. be
lieving iu any such statements. This extra-
ordinary creature had often suddenly pre
sented mtnself among the negroes in the ear
ly twilight,' causing great consternation
among them.
He is/Jescriberi by the negroes, as being
about eight feet high, each eye, in their lan
guage, “as large as a hen’s egg,” with no
nose and no upper lip,his two.Vye teeth as
large as a man’s thumb,extending dowupver
his chin about eight inches; his right foot
points directly to the front and the left to the
rear, and the measurement of the track is
just twenty -three inches in length ; bis finger
nails are about six inches long; the hair on
his head—which is stiff and wiry—sweeps
the ground as he walks, nnd is parted in the
rear and brought down in front on each side
of his singularly formed chest; which is not
round or' fiat, but is angular like that ot a
fowl. The hair on the body of this singular
being is very stiff and grows to the reari.

growing back, and uniting with a long, stiff
growth on his spine, which extends back
about one foot like the spinal flu of a fish,on

on liis arms is parted, and grows in the same
way, making a long, thick brush on the back
of the arms, extending from tlie shoulders to
tho point of-.-his middle finger. The same
peculiarity is observable on his legs;
No white person has ever seen lrim until
recently, when he was diacovered ‘by a-h tin ting
party. Several gentlemen—acquaintances of
ours—met on last Thursday week with a
view of bear hunting in this stl amp. They
were accompanied by about fifteen well
trained bear dogs. They’ prepared for the
hunt early in the morning, anti when about
commencing.their attention was attracted to>•
an unusualjy large human track in the soft
soil; upon examination it was discovered that-
the track was constantly being reversed; In
an instant the stories of the negfdeS'occnrtSKL
to the-party,-and at.once it was determined
to pursue the creature which had made this
track. The dogs were instantly called and.
i-nconraged to follow tbe track, which 'they
did prompjly. The gentlemen, .mounted
upon good horses, foujd but little difficulty
ju keeping well up with the hounds. In a
few minutes an object was presented to their
vinw which sent a chill to the' heart of every
member of the party. They - bad unearthed
the nondescript. A being, Apparently hu
man, suddenly arose Jrom his lair, turned and
for a moment stood in silent inspection of
his pursuers, and then instantly with a yell-
truly terrific, wheeled and with the speed of
the fastesfltorse,rushed away before the dogs.

tinued for a distance of nearly ten. miles,
when at last tbe terrible monstqr* foaming
with rage, wal brought to bay upon the bank
of the Big Black, and turning with a fury
unparalleled, it Seized the foremost -dog with
both hands, and by the exercise of super
human muscular strength, buried its long
talons in the body of the--bowling brute and
literally tore the dog asunder. Dropping
this, it instantly seized the next and sent .its
two immense tusks.through the skull of the
doomed dog." One of the hunter^,, beebtiring
alarmed for the safety of the party,'drew his
revolver aud fired twice at the monster, but
evidently without effect other than to frighteu .

Railroad Extortion.—The Washington
Gazette arraigns tho Georgia Railroad for ex
tortion, aud presents the following count? in
its bill of indictment:
I The Georgia Road charges about two-
thirds to three-fourths as much to transport
goods from Augu'sta to Washington, as the
Central and South Carolina Roads and the
Ocean steamers charge on the same goods for
distance of 800 miles.
A comparison with the charges ou the
upper rirates will show nearly the same re
sult. Example: one merchant pays on bacon
from Louisville to Atlanta, six hogsheads,
distance nearly 400 miles, $56 06— irom At
lanta to Washington, 130 miles, $29 20.
Another merchant paid on 2 hhds. bacon
from Louisville .to Atlanta, $10 63—Irom At-
lafitft to Washington, $10 20.' :
The published rates for transportation of
fertilizers show thaf. while, the Central Iloiiid
moves them from'SavanuftU to Augusta. 130
Utiles, for 12 cents per 100, the Georgia Rpitl
charges 15 cents for 75 miles.
That is, the C rural' Road .charge is les
tiiliu 2 cents per ton for cvery.milc, while the ,
Georgia Road charge is4 cents. ,
