Ur. Clay and « Protective Turin*.
ft* New York Tribune and the Evening
.-sre wrangling over the Protective Tariff
lisriples of Henry Clay, the former citing him
i lengthening the argument for such laws
it. We object to the corlloary. Had that
-»,t man ever dreamed of the effect such
tssana would have upon the country—the
tacking of New England and the impoverish-
j. of the balance of tho States—the ruling out
foreign commodities by levying prohibitory
ipart duties, and thus enabling New England
possess a monopoly—he would have opposed
•otective tariffs with that eloquence which
ctrified the world.
The import duties now levied upon all classes
goods which can be made in Massachusetts
mounts to prohibition. This enables Massa-
tasetts to bleed the country to a lively tune,
lore especially is this oppressive to the people
the South. Were our ports thrown open,
md British. German and American fabrics al-
.wed to come in free, almost every species of
rerebandize which we daily buy wonld be all
i twenty-fire per cent cheaper. But this would
real: down New England factories—an idea
perfectly preposterous, intolerable., and not for
moment to be entertained! Any man advo-
itiug such a thing ought to be indicted for
igh treason, disfranchised, and at least six
ggers allowed to vote to bis one.
•'Pay me ray tribute,” says New England,
:f not—disloyalty!” and the country responds
teddy ar.d humbly.
The State Fair.
-VIwa*. Editors:—The day for making the
Jwagements for the coming fair being near at
aai I would beg leave to notice the following
.tides, merely as a suggestion to the awarding
ommittee:
Chemical and pharmaceutical products and
Twsses, including chemical manures.
Paper and stationery, types, printing and
kttiiiinding, including specimens of writing

AfTairsin Cuba.
The Cuban insurrection appears to be spread
ing like wildfire, and the western portion of
the island is aglow with it. The forces of tho
three rebel leaders are continually augmenting
and they are in some mysterious way supplied
with men, arms and money. They are wholly
deficient in artillery. Fresh troops are daily
expected at Santiago, while the garrison under
present control of the Captain-General is dis
tributed here and there with all possible celerity.
Arms in the bands of insurrectionary bands have
been captured within a few leagues of Havana.
The insurgents have taken possession of a town
at the junction of Sagua La Grande andCienfue-
gos and Villa Clara railroads, and have destroy
ed telegraphio communication. Bodies of in
surgents are springing up in all quarters. The
authorities rashly talk of extermination ; with
draw their proffered amnesty and re-establish
their censorship over the press,and seem to have
quite forgotten that they may be driven to sue
for security from it themselves. It is daily be
coming more evident that the spirit of revolt is
making headway toward the West, and that the
means employed by the government to suppress
it are only calculated to provoke it to intenser
action. A fire of resentment has been kindled
by Dulce's late proclamation, which Spain, with
her own troubles on her bonds, will hardly be
able to extinguish.
The latest advices from Havana clearly indi
cate the authorities to be very suspicious of
Americans on the island, and they doubtless
believe the insurgents receive all their aid and
comfort from this country, and hence we hear
of the imprisonment of naturalized citizens,
and restrictions being placed upon the actions
of Americans in Havana—particularly upon
those who desire to leave Cuba. The authori
ties are evidently becoming alarmed. Having
tried for a brief time the soothing virtues of an
amnesty proclamation without effect, it is with
drawn and the rigors of martial law established,
and threats of extermination promulgated. This
is all mere stuff, Seignor Dnlce. It is solely a
question of force, just now, as to who shall rule
the Queen of the Antilles. If you have tho
power to enforce your edicts and suppress yonr
insurgents well and good, you win. If you have
not this force, and we don’t think you have, you
lose. A little time only is required to settle the
matter.
The BiiIIock-Aiigier .Hatter.
The Committee appointed by the Legislature
to investigate the alledged misappropriation of
money by Gov. Bullock, exonerates him from
at least any intention of doing wrong. Although
his action was somewhat irregular, he seems to,
have had precedents from other Governors who
have preceded him.
Yv'e are glad the Governor has been able to
make such a showing to the Committee, for we
hope never to see the day when public officials
in our State can be convicted of malfearance in
office. It seldom happens that an imputation is
cast upon the honor of an officer of a Southern
State. While this is the case here, it is not so
in our Northern States. If we are to believe
one-half the charges made by their press we
must come to the conclusion that their Legisla
tors, State officers, and City Councilman, are
the grandest rascals unhung. According to the
New York newspapers, no man has been a mem
ber of the Common Council of that city for
years, who did not deserve a place in the Peni
tentiary. Such charges ought never to be made
unless true because they destroy public confi
dence, and thereby cripple tho wheels of a Gov
ernment.
If made, however, as in the case of Governor
Bullock, they should be promptly investigated
like our Legislature has very properly done, and
if guilty, prosecuted to the utmost extent of the
law, and if innocent, fully and freely so de
clared. We are glad to note the fact that the
honor of Georgia has not been tarnished by her
Governor misapplying the funds of the State.
Had the charges been proven, every Georgian
would have felt humiliated at the disgusting
spectacle.

' ' ■'■•‘fin- Atlanta, February 16 th.

We find the following remarks of one of our
Rrepresentatives, Mr. Young, in the Congres
sional Globe:
Mr. Young. Mr. Speaker, I rise to inquire
whether it would now be in order for me to en
ter my solemn protest in behalf of the people
of my State and in the name of the Constitution
and laws of the United States against the action
of this House in thus excluding from the Elect
oral College the State of Georgia. That
State, sir,nas a full delegation on this floor;
her Representatives, of whom I have the hon
or to be one, were admitted without contest or
question. Georgia has performed all the con
ditions strictly required of her under the recon
struction acts of Congress, and although she is
denied, upon mere technical objections, her re
presentation in the Senate, she vested rights in
this House, and she is again a State in the
Union, with all the rights and privileges~so far
at least as her voice may be heard in this matter
—of any other State. To deny to her now and
her citizens tho dearest right of freemen, the
elective franchise, and especially for the Chief
Magistrate of the people, is to strike down the
great object and principle of republican Govern
ment, and foreshadow and promote consolida
tion and despotism. I reiterate my solumn pro
test against such action.
The Speaker. The remarks just made by the
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Young,) will bo
recorded in the Globe ; but a protest cannot
be entered on the Journal as a matter of right;
the consent of tee House is necessary to grant
the privilege. The gentleman will find tee rule
on page 156 of the Digest.
The House of Representatives, acting sepa
rately from tee Senate, refused to receive the
vote of Georgia. The Senate agreed to count
it, provided it did not change the result. Fend-
ing the wrangle, Ben Wade, the acting Vice
President of tho United States, and presiding
over tee joint session of both Houses, while
counting the vote, made th efollowmg disgrace
fnl announcement:
“The Chair is very much disposed to hold the
Senate and tee House to their own doing—to
tee joint resolution which they passed—the pur
port of which is, if we understand it, that ifth-
rotes of the State of Georgia did not alter the ree
suit of the election they might be counted, and if
they did alter the result they tcere not to be
counted.”
The vote of Georgia was finally counted, in
spite of tee protest of tee House of Represen
tatives. But had its reception changed tee re
sult, it would unquestionably have been re
jected. What an appalling chapter in the his
tory of Congressional proceedings is this! It
should cause the blush of shamo to mount to
the cheek of every citizen. When the national
Congress thus stoops, what hope can wo have
for tee future of tho Republic! Tho remedy
lies with tee people. It is their duty to hurl
these unscrupulous politicians from power and
to elect men in their stead who will preserve tea

which stated that O’Neil, of Lowndes, was non

ing the veto of tho Governor on the negor eligibility
question, said the same was false, and it was due to
the country and this House that the fact bo made
known.
Several members contending that the House
should take no action on the resolution, it was
finally withdrawn after a lengthy debate.
It is supposed that members, generally, favor an
early adjournment.
FROM ATLANTA.
Report ol the Finance Committee.
Atlanta, February 16.—Tho report of tire Fi
nance Committee to whom was referred the investi
gation of the charges made against Governor Bul
lock by tho State Treasurer, was yesterday present
ed to the House, and, without being read, was or
dered printed. The report opens thus: “Wedo
not say that Governor Bullock is guilty of anything
criminal, or of bad faith; hut on the contrary, we
believe his intentions were pure, and what he did
was in good faith, believing at the time what he did
was for the best interest and welfare of tho State;
yet we think he acted withont authority of law.
Hence wo proposo to examino his acts and try them
by tho same test that the highest and lowest citizen
is tried—law and evidence.” Tho report then cites
to the acts of former Governors of Georgia, show
ing that they exercised tho same power as that ex
ercised by Governor Bullock, and goes on to say
For tho purpose of getting clearer and fuller de
velopments of facts growing out of the drawing and
use of tho thirtyfive thousand dollars, your sub-com
mittee addressed to the Governor a few interroga
tories; also enclosed to the Treasurer tho Gover
nor’s communication to tho Committee, and found
ed thereon a few interrogatories to him. They re
sponded immediately to the enquiries of tho Com
mittee and tee Governor gavo a much moro satis
factory account of the affair than wo had before re
ceived. ;
“We learned that Messrs. Kimball had been ad
vanced thirty-one thousand dollars for the purpose
of lighting, heating and furnishing the capitol, and
have a copy of vouchers; and that the balance, four
thousand dollars, is in cash and cash items, author
ized by law to bo cancelled by wwrants whenever
the Treasurer is placod in proper relation to the
Department. Tho Treasurer’s reply gavo no other
information about tho matter, hut contained inti
mation that seventeen thousand dollars charged to
tho State in the money colnmn, had been improp
erly used by the Governor. This suspicion, we find
on examination, perfectly groundless. Wo do not
intend to bo guilty of captious fault-finding, bnt are
satisfied of tee integrity of the Governor. Wo are
still willing to repose in him generous confidence.
‘In conclusion, upon a full consideration of tho
facts and circumstances, with tho influence brought
to bear upon us, the majority of the committee
having so decided, wo refnso to mako any recom
mendation ; whether tho State shall assume pay
ment or the City Council of Atlanta shall he held
responsible, except wo recommend, to prevent sim
ilar occurrence hereafter, tho Judiciary Committee
shall be instrncted to prepare a bill to deflno more
clearly tho duties of the Governor and Treasurer,
and to give the Treasurer exclusive power of ne
gotiating for State bonds by and with consent of tho
Governor. We apprehend that tho Treasurer, when
a warrant is properly drawn by the Governor, ap
proved and entered by the Comptroller General,
has no right to go behind the warrant to look into
its legality; tho warrant, if within tho amount ap
propriated, is his security. Tho contingent fund is
placed in tho Governor’s hands, to ho used S3 ho
thinks proper, and tho Treasurer has no right to
question his use or tho application of that fund.”
Tho committee is composed of. twenty-seven
members, (four Republicans, three Conservatives
and twenty Democrats) and a very thorough and im
partial investigation seems to have been made.

of Robert Stevens, (negro,) of Charleston, S. C.,
against tee Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad
Company, for putting his wife in a second class car,
by force, after selling her a first, class ticket, the
Judge, in his charge to the jury, which was half
blacks and half whites, said that distinction on ac
count of color was'iirelict of barbarism, which had
beeh‘dono.‘''Tho mistake had been happily done
away with even in that sink of iniquity. New York,
where it had been tolerated longer than elsewhere,
to secure Southern trade. After an incidental state
ment to the effect that Virginians were given to
drunkenness, and their clergy were not exempt from
this frailty, tee Judge read several extracts from
the bible, and closed by instructing the jury to teach
this company that they must not make distinctions
on account of color. The jury brought in a verdict
of $1600 damages for the plaintiff.

In the Union by Surprise.
It will be seen by the subjoined that the New
York Times takes the same view of the effect
of the decision counting the electoral yote of
Georgia, that the Columbus Enquirer did. "We
hope they are right, and that Congress will stick.
In that event the great point will have been
settled by surprise and inadvertence:
The Status op Georgia.—The position con
ceded to Georgia in the counting of the electo
ral vote for President^ seems to determine the
question until now in dispute in regard to that
State. The fact that its vote was received and
recognized, disposes of doubts as to its title to
Congressional representation. A State which
may vote for the President must be in the Union;
and, being in the Union, it has a right to rep
resentation in the Senate and the House.
The joint resolution by which Senator Ed
munds hoped to escape the difficulty really
amounted to nothing. There was not even in
genuity in the declaration that the Georgia vote
should be counted if the result were not thereby
affected, but excluded if the effect were other
wise. Its terms admitted of no other interpre
tation. Expounding them officially, the Pres
ident of the Senate said their purport was, “that
if the voters of the State of Georgia did not al
ter the result, they were not to be counted - ”
But the artifice is too puerile to serve the pur
pose for whioh it was intended. For the right of a
State is not contingent upon the political com
plexion of its vote. Whether it might elect
Grant or whether it might defeat him, had noth
ing to do with the point to he decided. That
was a simple yea or nay on the question of ad
mitting or excluding the vote. And when an
affirmative decision was rendered, as it was on
Wednesday, the status of Georgia was practi
cally settled.
The acceptance of the vote is an uncondi
tional recognition of the power to vote. No
special pleading based upon the Edmunds joint
resolution, or on any other ground, can at all
modify the essential fact. The joint action of
the two Houses in receiving the vote admits of
no appeal It is positive and conclusive as well
as to the legal regularity of the vote as to the
authority of the State to give it. There is no
middle ground in the premises. That State
cannot bo out of tho Union, or as a State sub
ject to constitutional penalties, whose voice fo§
Seymour and Blair was formerly listened to by
the President of the Senate in the presence of
both Houses.
The result is especially noteworthy, because
directly occasioned by the Senate, whioh has
thus far refused admission to the Georgia Sena
tors. Had General Butler’s objections prevail
ed, we should have said that exclusion from the
Electoral College in this case implied exclusion
from the Union. But these objections having
been overuled—arbitrarily and irregularly, we
must admit, but still overruled—the theory
of the Senate Judiciary Committee is exploded,
and the unwillingness to admit Mr. Hill ceases
to bo excusable. We do not look for absolute
consistency in these matters, but when an im
portant constitutional principle is at stoke, we
must assume that the Senate will adhere to the
logical consequences of its own proceeding. Af
ter declaring that the votes of Georgia shonld
be received, it cannot, without self-stultification,
deny the right of the State Senatorial Bepresen-
tation.
Lively Times Ahead.—The Atlanta New
Era, after characterizing a portion of the Re
publican party as “mad fellows,” “H6xt-to-
nothings,” “dogs,” “scum,” “Egyptian
lice,” “vermin,” “unimportant persons,
these fellows,” etc., etc., says :
“ We now take occasion to advertise the mal
contents in the Republican party, that they will
have no reason to complain of us on this score
hereafter. The villains who would destroy the
party in order to accomplish their own damna
ble ends, will from this date be shown up in a
proper light”
From which we are left to conclude that the
domestic relations of the Republican family of
Georgia are very unsatisfactory. We will watch
the fight with the liveliest interest. Go it hus
band, go it bear.
FINANCIAL ANN COMMERCIAL.
Weekly Beview of the Market.
OFFICE DAILY TELEGRAPH, )
*' February 17—Evening, 1869.)
General Remarks.—-Trade generally Laa hardly
been as active for the week ending this evening as
it was the week before; and especially has this been
the case for the last three or four days. The spring
trade has not yet opened, and being just at that sea
son of the year when wo' leave the winter to enter
upon the spring trade, business is, of course a lib-
tie dull in all branches.
In groceries and provisions onr market is now well
stocked, bnt the demand for articles in’this fine is
only moderate. Bacon hae declined fully a half
cent per pound during the week under review; but
it was firm to-day at our quotations. Sugars continue
active and excited on all grades. Other articles un
changed.
Money is scarcely so abundant as it was a few
days ago, and lenders are rather more cautions. The
demand for stocks and bonds was somewhat weaker
to-day than for several days past, but we have no
change to note in prices. We quote:

The New Cabinet.—Tho newspapers have
gone through the entire list of probabilities
about who will compose Grant’s Cabinet, and
dropped the subject in disgust. They have not
been able to definitely determine a single name,
for the simple and plain reason Grant has re
fused to open his mouth to a single soul upon
the subject Were they to make a right guess,
it would bo like guessing the author of the
Junius letters, nobody would know whether it
was right or not .
The data received by the Department of Ag
riculture for November and December last, leads
to the estimate of 905,178,000 bushels of com
as the product of the whole country in 1868. Il
linois is credited with ahont one-seventh of this
amount, or 134,363,000 bushels. Next in order
come Indiana, 90,382,000: Ohio, 74,000,000;
Iowa, 65,332,000; Missouri, 60,967,000; Ken
tucky, 58,187,000; Tennessee, 54,772,000. These
are all the States estimated to produce over 500,-
000,000 bushels.
The Mount Cenis tunnel is advancing rapidly.
A few more months, and the railway lines of
France and Italy will unite beneath a mountain
5,300 feet high. It is slow work, as the tunnel
has to be pierced through extremely hard green
ish-gray sandstone mixed with quartz; 4,300
feet were hollowed out last year. The tunnel is
to be 39,700 feet in length; 29,800 feet of the
work are already completed; tho remaining 9,-
900 will take about 27 or 28 months to accom
plish, so that by March or April, 1871, this stu
pendous work will probably be completed.
The members of the Rhode Island Legislature
are paid one dollar per day. They all walk
home every night, and back in the morning.

“One ; but a Lion.”—A fellow by the nanw
of “Brother Fowler,” has been lecturing in Chi
cago, upon female suffrage. He opened his re
marks as follows:
“In the old fables, the lion silenced the haroj
who was boasting of the number of her offspring
by the remark: ‘One; but a lion.’ Most of ra
are bom and reared in that way. Much calcula
tion and many thoughts precede the advent of
a male baby. If it be a female, the disappoint
ment^ poorly covered by the rejoicing at the*
parent’s recovery. Thus a prejudice stand*,-
ready to receive the human pullet, almost ready .
to burst with indignation because the egg was *
not broken before it was hatched.”
From the way some of them cackle about
woman’s rights and female suffrage one wonMP
suppose they were not only pullets but full grown" -
chickens, and of the game breed at that.
The Daily Wale.—There is beauty and troth--
in the following: “A Christian life is a pulpit
where all may ascend. It is unbecoming for the
child to exhort its unbelieving parent, improper
for the pupil to direct his teacher, or for th» -
servant to rebuke his master. Bnt by a holy,
life children can instruct their parents, scholam-
their teachers, servants their masters, and infe
riors, their superiors, and superiors their infe
riors. Many, through ignorance, are unable to
speak a word for Jesus, “others cannot meet sn
objector, and others are disabled by timidity;
bnt all can preach a most eloquent sermon,
through the life. **
Some years ago a gentleman died’. His widow-
inherited his property and collected the insur
ance on his life, and very soon enlarged, re
paired and fitted up her residence in a quite,
luxurious style. A friend calling, expressed-4
some little surprise that she made these nicer- «
arrangements so soon after the decease of Mr - ,!
. “Why shouldn't I do it?” replied the *
practical relic. “My husband, good man that •
ho was, is enjoying a glorious mansion in thw’
skies; and of course he wishes me to be a3 com-.
fortable as possible here on earth.” Who says.,
that woman’s faith was not shown by. he*,
works?
A clever Yankee farmer, being much troubled,- '
with rats, and being determined to get rid of
them, tried every possiblo plan, but without
success. At last ho got a lot of rats and shut
them up in a single cage; they devoured oho,
another till only a single one was left. He then
turned this one loose, when, excited with the
blood of his fellow rats, and having become a
genuine cannibal, it killed and ate all the rats if
could find on the premises.
