THE TELEGRAPH.
MACON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1869.
The Balloek-Angicr Hatter Again.
The proceedings of the Legislature yesterday
places the Bullock-Angler matter in a different
light. It will be seen by our special reportthat
the report of the Minority Committee, charging
that the money paid to the Kimballs was unau
thorized by law, was adopted—yeas 86, nays 37.
"We refer the reader to the dispatch for the
full particulars. It seems that the investiga
tion has, after all, gone against the Governor.
The Split in the Republican Party of
Georgia.
The Republican party of Georgia is now
hopelessly split in twain. One faction is head
ed by Bullock, who wants the State again kick
ed out of the Union, and the other is headed
by the Atlanta Era. The Bullock wing had a
meeting at Atlanta, on the night of the 15th, and
adopted the following resolutions. It was pre
sided over by H. P. Farrow:
Resolved, That the .work of reconstruction is not
complete in Georgia. .... .
Resolved, That it is the wish of all loyal men of
tbo State that Congress duly consider the facts pre
sented in the memorial of bis Excellency, Ruins is.
Bullock, Governor, and we ask Congress to confirm
the pledgemAhotttheSUTe.
Resolved, That wo do most respectfully ask Con
gress to come to our aid in our oppressed condition:
to restore the legally elected colored members to
their seats in the Legislature, and to enforce the
Reconstruction laws by such legislation as Congress
in its wisdom may deem proper and wise.
Resolved, Hurt tho Reconstruction laws have been
violated, and that men are boldine office in tMa
State who are ineligible under the Constitution and
article fourteen, and who are known to be disloyal to
the government of the United States.
Resolved, That it is a well known fact that there
are a number of persons occupying seats in the
General Assembly now in session, who are disquali
fied under the constitutional amendment known as
article fonrteen; and we ask Congress to see to the
enforcing of tho laws, that those members disquali
fied may be required to vacate their seats.
The New Era says the meeting did “not rep
resent the sentiments of the Republican party in
Georgia.” “ Against the proceedings of all snch
meetings,” it says “ and those of this one in par
ticular, we feel it incumbent as a Republiran
journalist, to enter our solemn and unqualified
protest”
In its issue yesterday it advertised a meeting
of its wing of the party to take place in the Hall
of the House of Representatives last night
promising able speakers, a “fairly jammed'
bouse, etc. The Era and its friends are opposed
to the reconstruction of the reconstructed
State of Georgia, opposed to Bullock.
It would be unnatural to suppose that the
material composing the Radical party of Geor
gia will hang together long. The cohesive
power of public plunder was about all the ad
hesiveness it had. Having sunk into a hopeless
minority—being defeated at the last election by
forty thousand majority—the leaders have gone
to fighting one another. The whole concern
had better apply for a decree in bankruptcy.
Ordinary of Thomas county to settle with' minors

The Governor was authorized to have printed

Practical Reconstruction-.—Last year’s cot
ton crop of Georgia is estimated in value at
forty millions of dollars, and it was not a favor
able season. No wonder the cotton lands of
the State have run up in price some fifty, some
one hundred and some two hundred, and even
three hundred per cent At this rate, before
the expiration of President Grant’s term of
office, the wealth and prosperity of our South
ern States will be the wonder of the world.—
N. Y. Herald.
It is wonderful how polite and respectful
some people at the North have grown towards
the people of Georgia recently. Since we ob
tained plenty of money by our extraordinary
luck in cotton during tbe last year, we are not
half so bad as we used to be. Therein the
whole question of reconstruction finds an easy
and ready solution. Let us go forward with
our industry, with an eye single to the main
chance, and leave Butler and his Congress to
rare and snort until they get tired. Let us
quietly go along and make money—replenish
onr household stock of silver-ware—and Butler
himself will sa;, “Georgia is not so bad af
ter all.”
The Constitution op Tennessee.—An ex
change calls attention to a “curious provision
in the State Constitution of Tennessee, made
by Browillow’s carpet-baggers and negroes,
which declares that after an amendment has
been made to it, no other amendment can be
had for six years! Most of the whites are now
disfranchised, and can neither vote nor hold of
fice. In order to continue this, and to have a
certain six-year lease of power, the negroes and
caipct-baggers in Tennessee are trying to make
some comparatively unimportant amendments
to the Constitution, and thus cut off any chance
of altering the suffrage clause.”
Good Advice.—Mr. Stephens said in a recent
conversation that “if the young of Georgia will
stick to the State, and work as I did when I was
a young man, they will be successful” This is
veiy true. Many of them have an idea that
there are cities, towns and lands elsewhere they
can live in much easier than here; but they
all have the same difficulties to encounter.
Hard work is as essential there as here.
General Breckinridge.—Our Kentucky ex
changes say this distinguished gentleman is daily
expected at Lexington, when he will at once re
sume the practice of law. He can get any office
in the gift of the people of Kentucky, but
friends say he has no present intention of seek
ing a public position or having anything to say
upon public matters.
It is said tbe pork packers of Cincinnati have
made a clear profit of $3,000,000 this season,
the greater part of which, of course, has been
drained from the South. "When will the people
of the S&nth learn wisdom and the principles of
real economy ? Surely the war and subsequent
events should have taught them tho importance
of turning tho advantages of their unequaled soil
and climate in tho right direction.—San. Newt.

TI*e Coming Change—The New Ail
’J ministration, r >.
President Johnson's term of office will expire
twelve days from date. He will retire to a farm
in Tennessee, and, like other ex-Presidents, his
name seldom mentioned. His policy will look
better in history than it does now to a majority
of the people. Assuming the rein of govern
ment at a time when the spirit of revenge ran
kled in the .breasts of thousands of the party
which elected him, he incurred their displeasure
by counselling forgiveness and moderation.
Posterity will side with him in this, as it does
against James U. and his Judge Jeffreys, who
put the followers of the bastard son of Lucy
Walters to death, and shocked the world with
their inhuman barbarity. We do not live in
such an age as that.
President Johnson to bring all the leading reb
els to the scaffold, condemned President Juares
for killing Maximilian and Miramon. The fu.
tore will applaud the Presidents pardoning and
seeking by mild and conciliatory means to make
good citizens out of the leaders and followers of
the late war, instead of listening to the clamors
of bloodthirsty Radicals to bring them to a fel
on’s death. Well aware of this, he no doubt
enjoys a serene peace of mind, in spite of a
condemnation nigh universal.
With his exit Gen. Grant, who has literally
evened his wayjo
confront him will be a Radical and a Conserva
tive element to please. There is a faction still
at the North, with all its hatred and fanaticism
against everything Southern still burning as
brightly as in the days of Robert Rantoul and
Owen Love joy. They claim to have elected
Gen. Grant, and, throngh the New York Tri
bune, will vehemently demand that his adminis
tration shall bo shaped according to their ideas.
But we are sure he will quarrel with them before
his term of office is one month old. The very
nature of the office of President of the United
States is Conservative—in antagonism to parti-
zan fanaticism. When a man is sworn into that
office he will take a comprehensive look over the
whole country, and become at once seized with
an ambition to make all of it great and glorious.
He will frown against any effort to build up one
portion by pulling down another. And hence
we believe that the dream of New England, that
she will find in Gen. Grant a President who will
bend the whole power and patronage of his office
to subserve her interests, will not be realized.
Nor do we believe he will allow his Congress
to hamper and cripple tho industry and progress
of the Southern States by adverse legislation.—
Such has been the case for four years. He may
not essentially change the reconstruction meas
ures of that body, but he will permit the people
now oppressed by them to change their Consti
tutions and make laws to suit themselves if they
desire to do so. We ask nothing more than a
withdrawal of the coercion of Congress, and the
privilege of making our own laws, like the peo
ple of Pennsylvania and Illinois.
We believe that all parties are agreed that a
leading characteristic of the new administration
will be economy. It is expected that the ten
thousand dishonest rogues now in office and be
queathed to the country by tbe tenure of office
law, will be dismissed instantly, and a new set
of men appointed to fill their places. But
whether these will only prove “a hungrier swarm
of flies” is a grave question.
In a word the country expects General Grant
to be tbe President of the whole land an£ not of
the radical wing of the Republican party.

The bill referred to the Building Committee to
erect a new State House, was reconsidered and re
ferred to a special committee.
A resolution that no new matter should be intro
duced after the 21th, was lost.
The minority report of the Committee on Finance
was read. It says: “ Messrs. Kimball had brought
in bills amounting to $57,000 against the State,
which the Governor should have reported to the
General Assembly, and that tho funds were unlaw
fully drawn. Further, the State was not bound to
pay for painting and gas fixtures; old furniture was
sufficient to afaswer their purposes. Neither the
city of Atlanta nor the Legislature ever contem
plated such extravagance. The conduct of the Gov
ernor was wholly unauthorized by law or precedent.
The payment of the warrant was refused by the
Treasurer in accordance with Ins duty, and he de
serves the thanks of the people.”
It recommends that no payment of these bills be
made until all matters are investigated fully.
One bill for painting calls for $15,000; for gas
fixtures $6,000; chairs, including desks, $10,000;
carpets $6.000; shelves 36,000.

In Illinois, according to the State Auditor’s

wheat against 4,725,386 acres of corn. Of this
two million of acres probably about one-half
was winter wheat, and the other half spring
wheat. The winter wheat was mostly raised
south, and the spring wheat north, although
there were instances of thirty bushels having

The people of Columbus mourn the loss of a

There is a genuine touch of our better natures
in this.
For months and months past, a motley as
semblage has been in session at Austin, Texas,
trying to fix up a new Constitution in accordance
with the reconstruction measures of Congress.
But, instead of patching up a peace between
that “ lately rebellious State” and the United
States, it seems the Convention itself has got
into a war. From the Galveston Civilian, of
the 9th, we copy:
‘First one and then the other parties in the Texas
Convention have bad it up and down, hip and
thigh. The end is about now, and tho Ab Initio
men and Divisionists, appear to have gone to tbe
wait Colossal Jack baa wielded his jaw-bone with
such effect that the Ab Initoes are knocked out of
timo. and as the hard-shell preacher said when he
declared that the horse racer had gone to heaven,
there are some other people there yon would not
expect to see—among them, our old conservative
friend, Hon. L. D. Evans, who was implicated in
the scheme to divide the State. We left the Con
vention yesterday rallied under two Presidents,
Davis and Armstrong, both claiming to be tho right
body, and appealing to Gen. Canby for recognition.
The dispatches say that the General recognized the
Armstrong organization, and told them to go and
complete the Constitution. A dispatch to the Bul
letin says that on “Saturday night, Davis, with
three of his disciples met, and after having read
the communication from Gen. Canity, directed that
the papers be turned over to the Adjutant General.
Davis announced that there was no quorum present
and the Convention adjourned without day. Gen.
Canby has ordered the Constitution to be published.”
Tbo correspondent of the News (or its types) says
that “yesterday morning tho adjournment” [Adju
tant General] “had possession of the Capitol, and
would not allow the Armstrong Convention to meet
Canby will print tho Constitution in compliance
with the resolution of the Armstrong Convention.
It is evident, from tbo whole transaction, that Gen.
Canby recognizes the Armstrong Convention, and
not the Davis faction. The end has come at tho
point of the bayonet”
Which is nothing but the story told over of
the disgraceful scenes in the Florida and other
Conventions. We leave Congress to muse upon
its offspring. Among other measures adopted
by the Texas Convention, was a resolution to
divide the State.
Time has, indeed, proven that the whole the
ory of Congressional reconstruction is wrong,
and has a direct tendency to lead to conflicts of
authority. While nominally leaving the States
free to make their own Constitutions, the Gen.
Canby are posted in the galleries of the Con
ventions, with their sword buckled around them,
and their soldiers posted outside, instructed to
see that all enactments are in accordance with
the Chicago Platform. “Tho General recog
nised the Armstrong organization, and told them
go and complete the Constitution.” “Gen.
Canby directed that the papers be turned over
to the Adjutant.” “Gen. Canby has ordered
the Constitution to be published.”
Is this the way to make a republican govern
ment ? In the language of the above extract,
“the end has come at the point of the bayonet.”
Such violence may for a moment subserve the
interests of a political party, but a people pos
sessing that instinct of freedom planted in the
breast of every American citizen will quickly
sweep it away. It is the constant effort of the
living generation to perfect a system of laws
which will'need no alteration by posterity. Such
the ambition of every good man. And in
making these laws he is not actuated by petty
spite, or with a spirit to wreak revenge upon his
fellow, but, rising above such ignoble malice, he
seeks only to subserve the good of all. In
framing these Southern Constitutions, the Rad
icals of Congsess have sought only to subserve
the behests of one of the political parties of the
day. The peace, happiness and glory of the
country are forgotten in a blind partisan zeal.

Atlanta, February 18, 91£ P. 51—The Radical
meeting assembled at an early hour. • Tho hall of
the House of Representatives was taken possession
of by Dunning and his crowd, nine-tentli9 of which
on the floor were negroes. One side of the gallery
was filled with whites; abont 30 whites on the floor
—balance negroes; Dunning in the chair. Bryant
and Bard protested against the House being taken
possession of by extremists, as the meeting was
called by and the use of the hall granted for the
Conservatives. Bard brought in a band of music.
Bryant was hooted down by the negroes and retired.
The hand went outside of tbe Hall and commenced
playing at the front entrance. Bard's friends retired
with him. Farrow attempted to read a series of
resolutions similar to the resolutions passed on
Monday night. The music outside interrupting
him, Fitzpatrick attempted to stop it. Tim Murphy
took charge of him. When the band retired, Bard
went into the Hall and protested against the out
rage committed by Donning and his party, interrupt
ing the meeting. Dunning insisting that Bard was
out of order, Bard again retired, cheered as he went
by tho side of the gallery.
Farrow being called for addressed the meeting.
The resolutions Monday night were adopted.
White men left the gallery.

Conservatism vs. HadicalisnCv
Atlanta, Februaiy 18.—At an adjourned meeting
of the Republicans of Geoigia, held here on the
15tbinst, to take into consideration the political
condition of tho State and the advancement of loy
alty in Georgia, the following set of resolutions
were adopted:
“ That the work of reconstruction is not complete
in Georgia.
“That Congress is requested to consider the facts
presented in the memorial of GoveAr Bullock to
Congress. .
“That Congress restore the legally elected colored
members to their scats in the Legislatures to
enforce tbe reconstruction laws by such legis
lation as is deemed wise and proper.
“That the reconstruction laws be not violated;
and men bolding office who are ineligible under the
Constitution,' 14th article, and disloyal to the United
States.be removed; and ask Congress to enforce
the laws and force disqualified members to vacate
seats; and earnestly desire that no petton be appoint
ed to any civil offioe in the State except he can take
the test oath, and appeal to Congress to enact such
laws as are necessary to give ail classes of citi
zens ample protection to life, liberty, property, and
the full enjoyment of all political privileges.”
Certified copies of these resolutions have been for
warded to Grant, Colfax, Wade, Trumbull and Bout-
well. y 1 t
The Conservative Republicans of Georgia hold a
mass meeting to-night to enter a solemn and un
qualified protest against the' above resolutions.
They deny that it was a meeting of the Republican
party, but only a small portion of disaffected ex
tremists, only supported by a small number of Re
publicans, and claim that some of tbe committee on
resolutions are wholly opposed to tbe doctrines and
policy set forth; that the whole thing is a misrepre
sentation of tho position and sentiments of the
party; that the resolntions take issue with General
Meade and his decisions as sustained by General
Grant A very large portion of tho Republican
party of Geoigia deny that the resolntions represent
the wishes of all loyal men, wherein they state that
all loyal men ore favorable to Bullock’s memorial to
Congress. They deny that loyal men are oppressed
in Georgia; that Congress has not kept its pledge
to the Union men of tbe South, and that reconstruc
tion must be undone and done over again before
peace and order can be had in this State. :
They claim these assumptions to bo .without the
least evidence to snstain them, and that the resolu
tions a lopted are a movement on the part of ex
treme men, hostile to the settled policy of faongress
and. tho incoming Administration.
, A largo mass of the Republicans, headed by their
acknowledged leadere, claim that they stand by tfie
Reconstruction policy of CongresC and Gen. Grant,
and recognizing Congress as the legitimate repre
sentative of the nation’s will, and look to Grant and
Congress and the intelligent Republicans North, to
save tho country from further unsettloment on this
and similar pretexts.

too well known to justify a rehearsal at this
time. Briefly, a brutal beast bearing the name
of Brown, in cold blood and without the slight
est provocation, assassinated Bolmeyer on a pub
lic street in Dayton, in broad daylight, in the
presence of numerous witnesses, for the only
reason that Bolmeyer was the editor-in-chief of
the Dayton Empire, a Democratic paper. Brown,
being fearful of the just indignation of the peo
ple of Montgomery county, prayed for a change
of venue, had his case transferred to the loyal
county of Miami, after a mock trial was acquit
ted by a jury organized for that purpose by n
loyal court and sheriff, notwithstanding the
iroof of guilt was incontestable and overwhelm
ing. •
This was the judgment of man. Now witness
the judgment of Almighty God ! Every jury
man on that pannel that acquitted Brown of the
murder of Bolmeyer has since been bereft; of
reason, met unnatural death, or committed sui
cide, and as a fitttng cap stone to this arch of re
tributive justice, Judge Parsons, who presided
over the mock trial, died a few days since a
horrible death iu the Lunatic Asylum at Ley-
ton. . -

Terry’s Texas Rangers— The Mame-
lnkes of the IVar.
From the Zouitville Courier-Journal.]
It is well known that the late Confederate
States cavalry, so-called,- were in the main,
strictly speaking, simply mounted infantry, do
ing splendid service, it is trne, bnt always dis
mounting, and preferring to dismount andfight,
unless the want of time and circumstances pre
vented. Terry’s Rangers were, however, an
exception. They 'were organized, armed and
equipped, and in action specially reserved for
regular cavalry charging. Circumstances and
the nature of the ground may have sometimes
prevented, but this was tbeir forte? . Each was
armed with a double-barrel shot gun, two re
volvers and a ponderous bowie, and adding to
courage confidence, and being most excellent
horsemen, they may in truth be said to have
been the Mamelukes of tho war. They were,
in many respects, a remarkable body of men—
remarkable for the esprit du corps, their un
wavering confidence in the final success of the
cause, their lofty bearing in camp and in field,
and the general intelligence of the rank and file.
No bills of lading, or chimney comer receipts
for the cure of whooping cough and measles, or
other false or fabricated papers, written or
printed, ever passed spy or bummers throngh
lines guarded by ranger pickets, while their re
ports of the strength, position and movements
of the enemy were always timely, valuable, and
wonderfully correct.
At Murfreesboro Friday night, when Bragg
was secretly and silently preparing for one of
his famous movements to the rear, a ranger gal
loped up. and exclaimed, “ General, the enemy
himself is in full retreat.' 1 He was reprimanded
and headquarters passed on. Afterward Hardee
was heard to remark, “ not a devil of those ran
gers but would make at least a brigader." Their
excellent material is accounted for by the fact
that they were picked men and the flower of the
Texas youth. It had been charged by Union
men pending the vote on the proposition for the
State to secede, that secession was war, and
that, having brought it on, rich men’s sons
would seek place and power, and poor men
would have to do the fighting. This aspersion
it was important to refute, once for all, and
at the first bugle’s blast Accordingly, Terry,
the Bayard of the State, issued a call which
inspired the wildest enthusiasm, and the
son3 of the most eminent, most influential
and most wealthy vied with each other in a zeal
ous and prompt response. La less than ten days
the regiment was filled beyond the maximum.
Numbers went away disappointed,. some dejec
ted, like the Spartans of old, because not chosen
to die for their country. At their own request
they were sworn in “for the war,” absolutely
and without condition, and this months anterior
to the call for troops for three years. Each
man furnished his own horse, arms and equip
ments, and in a large measure paid his own
way to the seat of conflict. .They left Houston,
Texas, 11C0 strong"; 500 recruits were received
from time to time, making a total muster-roll of
1660 names. They were in over,one hundred
distinct engagements from first to last, from
Woodsonvflle, Ky., to Graham Station, North
Carolina, near which place they fought the last
fight of the war, and surrendered, 244 all told,
with, bnt one deserter. ''./[•
General Albert Sidney Johnson, at Shiloh,
witnessing, their charge in column upon a
strong position, yrhile Hardee moved in the
rear, and which resulted in tho capture of Gen
eral Prentiss and his entire command, enthusi
astically exclaimed, “with ai little more disci
pline they would be the equals , of .the . Old
.Guard.” Tuesday evening at Shiloh, the ene-
l-v had passed to within one mile of Brecken-
ridge, who was covering the retreat with the
remains of his shattered and wearied division.
Midway between, the rangers were contesting
the ground almost truly inch by inch. .
The fresh troops of Buell, impatient at delay,
and flushed with the hope of overtaking and
capturing the gallant Kentuckian and his entire
force, which they believed exhausted and a sure
prey from hard marching and two days’ desper
ate fighting, now threw forward two regiments
of inf antry, supported by one of Ohio cavalry,
who, in fine array, coma rapidly on. as bounds
and hunters when their game is at bay. The
rangers had suffered-a loss of over one hundred,
more than ten per cent., in the two davaprevious
conflicts. Wharton, their third Colonel since
the mournful fall of Terry at Woodson ville, had
lost several horses, was twice wounded and
borne to the rear late the preceding day.

' THE EOW THAT HERALDS “PEACE.”
The scene in the chamber of the House of
Representatives .on Wednesday last, during the
counting of the electoral vote will be a memora
ble one to the minds of those who witnessed it.
Considering thatthe Administration itushes into
official existence is one from which the country
has been taught to expect peace, it is a great
pity the whole nation could not have looked on
atthe conduct of their representatives and judged
for themselve how mnch of “peace” there is in
store for them under the lead of such men.
The telegraph has already supplied the de
tails of the day’s proceedings, and any attempt
ed portraiture of them would appear stale by
the time this letter sees the light of print.
Since the' days of the French Assembly there has
been no snch tumult and disorder In a body
pretending to have met for a grave and consti
tutional purpose. The figure of Ben Butler
standing up amid mingled shouts of contempt
and approval to denounce the Senate, while old
Ben Wade tried his best to rap him down and
couldn’t, cannot be matched this side of 1789.
At one time it seemed os if a general scuffle was
inevitable. The presiding officer was powerless
to preserve order. A majority of the joint
convention were against Butler, but his
adhering minority was uproariously enthu
siastic. What they wanted was a chief,
who would go a step further, and invoke an acr
tual disturbance. It looked for all the world
like a crowd of sporting men quarrelling over
an umpire’s decision at a horse race, or perhaps
more like a crowd of roughs in disputation over
a “foul” at a prize fight. I will not dissemble
the fondly cherished hope that one of the many
clenched fists raised in denunciation of Butler
on the one side, and Wade on the other, would
be put to better purposes than assaulting the
innocent air, or blacking the eye of unoffend
ing space. Such demonstrations, however, must
have leadership, or they end in noise only.
Butler played leader till he reached that point
where, bluster must end and blows begin, and
then he turned back, and retreated faster than
he had advanced.
WHAT THE EOW WAS ABOUT.
The disturbance originated in a motion of Mr.
Butler's to exclude the electoral vote of Geor
gia. The House and Senate had previously
passed a concurrent resolution which practically
did this,andatany rate it was wellknown that the
result would not be changed whether Georgia
was counted or not It is worth while, however,
to consider how much material there is for a
revolution in the rules adopted for the govern
ment of the Houses when counting the electoral
vote. One of these declares that if any mem
ber of the joint convention shall object to re
ceiving the vote of any State, each House shall,
in its own chamber, consider the objection and
determine whether such vote shall lie received.
The right of objection is unconditional and un
limited. Suppose that on Wednesday last the
vote of the State of New York would have deter
mined the result one way or the other. Under the
rules, any Republican member of either House
might have risen and said, “I object to
the vote of New York.” Each House must tfien
determine without debate whether the electoral
vote of New York would be received If the
election of Grant depended upon the exclusion
of New York, does anybody donbt what the ver
dict would have been. Fortunately for the peace
of the country, the dangerous issue which it is
possible to bring out of this rule was not pre
sented There is not on the statute book a
more flagrant violation of the Constitution,
which declares in express terms that the joint
committee shall meet, and shall count the vote,
etc. It will be seen at a glance that while this
rule lasts, the Republican party, so long as they
hold a majority in Congress, can force a Repub
lican President upon the country in spite of the
electoral votes against him. It does not require
the gift of prophecy to foretell a revolution as
the result of such outrage and wrong against the
rights of the people.
FORNEY AS V CARPET-BAGGER.
John W. Forney has gone to North Carolina
and purchased a farm there pretendedly to. raise
com and potatoes, bnt really to raise the devil
in a small way among the reconstructed by run
ning as a Senatorial candidate against one of
the carpet-baggers whose “term of office” soon
expires. _ He will be a sort of ubiquitous per
son—living really in Philadelphia, and owning
tho Press there and the Chronicle here—bnt
claiming to be for electoral purposes a citizen
of Norm Carolina. I have never had a great
deal of admiration for John W., but he is a
man of talent and ability, and as a carpet-bag
ger would be a success, and a great improve
ment on tbe average of that class of miscreants.
It is worth while to mention, in thia connec
tion, that the carpet-baggers from all the
Southern States are becoming alarmed for the
safety of their seats in Congress. The field
seems an inviting one to a great many, and I
hear of several contemplated emigrations with,
an eye to Congressional honors. “In a nation
of blind men a one-eyed, may bo long," says
Rosseau when he tells how he, with very slight
musical attainments, found a community where
he could figure as a teacher of the deviae art.
So in a community of carpet-baggers, a' man
who elsewhere could not be elected to a City
Council, may make great pretentions to states
manship and official fitness. Mack. 1
Under the beautiful moon to-night
Silently creeps the crowded town,

O’er the wanderers np uni? down;
Echoing faintly along the street,

Plodding go wearily,
Sadly and drearily.
Onward, the last of a hope to meet.
Under the beautiful moon there sleeps
Many and many a fair young face,
Many and many a mother weeps ~
Bitterly o’er her child's disgrace •
Smiles; be they false, till the enn is set,
Under the moon may the cheeka be wet.
Sighing tearfully,

Under the beautiful moon there go,
Flaunting their shame in the holy light
Straying from purity, far by night. ’
Goodness and truth for the light of day.
Under the moon may the baidnave sway;

Ever be dutiful; i " o- .r
Love might gladden their hearts alway.
Under the beautiful moon there rest
Vicious and pore and the hours go on,
Souls that in love and life are blest—
Faces of wretchedness pale and wan;
Happiness under the moon may sleep,
. Misery under the moon may weep 1
Grieving, soboingly,
Painfully, throbbingly.
Hearts may moan over sorrows deep.

Many will dream of the loved and lost;
Many five over, with sad delight,
The hours they suffered and sorrowed most.
Tears for the lost when the day is fled,

Fondly, endearingly,
Never so cheeringly,
Memory breathes of the loved and dead.
Counsel and Client.
From the Few York Commercial Adcertitcr.}
The late James T. Brady was accustomed to
maintain that, no matter what he might himself
think of his guilt or innocence, a lawyer was
perfectly justified in employing every agency to
secure Ins client’^, acquittal. He acted on this
supposition, and . during his long criminal prac
tice many times convinced juries, almost in
spite of their own judgment This was strikingly
illustrated in tho case of Huntington, the forger.
A smile rested on tho countenance of the juron
when, to their surprise, Mr. Brady admitted all
the charges in the indictment, and then pro-
ceeded to state his line t o£ defence, viz: that the
prisoner had forged to ‘the extent of hundreds of
millions of dollars, that he had an uncontrollable
mania for forging, and could not be held morl
ally responsible for his acts. And, though they
had smiled at first, he made them believe it be
fore the trial was over.
How. far a counsel should go in defending his
client, or what influence his own views of it
should have upon him, in accepting or refusing
a ease, will doubtless, however, always con
tinue open questions. Lord Erskine affirmed
“If the advocate refuses to defend from whst
he may think of the charge or the defence, he
assumes the character of a judge—nay, he as
sumes it before the hour of judgment, and h
proportion to his rank, and reputation, puts the
leavy influence of perhaps a mistaken opinion,
into the scale against the accused, in whose fa-
vor the benevolent principles of' tbe English
law makes all presumptions, and which com-
mand the very Judge to be his counsel.”
Lord Brougham says: “An advocate, by the
sacred duty he owes his client, knows, in the
discharge of that office, but one person in the
world—his client, and none others. To save his
client, by all expedient means, to protect that
client at all hazards and costs to all others aart
amongst others to himself, is the highest and
most unquestioned of his duties: and he ram:
not regard the alarm, the suffering, the torment;
the destruction which he may bring upon an;
other. . Nay; separating even the duties of a
patriot from those of an advocate, and casting
them, if need be, to the winds, he must go cn
reckless of the consequences, if his fate it
should unhappily be, to involve his country in
confusion for his client’s protection.”
“These extreme principles," David Paul
Brown well observes, “ can never be approved
by just or reasonable men. They would, if car-
ried out to the extent suggested, make the advo
cate worse than a highwayman, and render him
under cover of the law a violent outlaw.”
The same writer observes: “ The best system
of forensic ethics of moral philosophy as tp.
plied to the legal duties of men, is of Dime
authority—‘Do unto others as yon would be
done by ’—which means do the same justice to
your clients, that in their condition you would
be rightly entitled to expect—you are not to do
more for them than yon would rightly expect;
nor to love them better than yourself; not to
sacrifice your conscience or your heavenly how
to them. A lawyer is not bound to take even
case that is tendered to him. He is no mas
man. He is the adviser, but not the slave 0:
serf of his client. He is not only not bound »
take a case which he clearly • perceives to be tr-
conscientious, but he is bound not to take it"
