Companies for Kansas.
The Atlanta Intelligencer of 29th instant, says:
“Judging from the number of companies, passing
almost daily through our city, on their way to
Kansas, we doubt not there will be a “smart
sprinkling ” of Southerners in that interesting re
gion before many weeks. On Wednesday night a
company of eighteen or twenty passed through
Atlanta, and on Thursday we noticed another
company of forty-one, all armed and equipped,
going on their way rejoicing. They were from
Charleston and other points of South Carolina. A
company organized in this city is expected to leave
in a few days for the same destination.”

Is the City Council authorized to subscribe?
Since the result of the vote yesterday was ascer
tained, a new question has been sprung by the de.
felted party, arising out of the words of the statute
under which the vote was taken. The twenty-sec
ond section reads as follows :
“ Sec. 22. And be it further enacted, That the
City Council of Augusta be, and they are hereby
authorized, to subscribe for, hold, and dispose of
Stock, in ihe Savannah Valley Railroad Company,
stock in any Railroad Company organized for the
coustr u cion of a railroad from Warrentoo, or some
other point on the Georgia Railroad and Banking
Company's road, to Macon, or to the stock of any
other Railroad Company in, or out of this State,
leading to, or connecting with railroads leading to
Augusia, and to provide by the issue of bonds, or
otherwise, for the payment of the amount sub
scribed. But no subscription, shall he made in any
case without the prev'jos concurrence of a majority of
the /• lit tutors of * ltd Cdy as is hereinafter desig
noted : the votes to be taken in the same way and
manner, and returns to be made, as in the case
of an election of Mayor and members of Council
of said City; the time of voting to he fixed bv the
Ci*v Council, and to be advertised for at least
three days in all the public Gazettes of said City;
and u i s a majority of votes he in favor of anj
subscription, it skill not be mile.”
It is contended now by some of those who op
pose the subscription, that under the terms of this
act, it requir -d a majority of all who were entitled
to vote on the question, to give their votes in favor
of subscription, to enable Council to subscribe.
They contend the words “legal voters” as here
used, signify all those who are entitled under the
law to vote. They contend that “ the previous con
currence of a majority of the legal voters of said
city,” means the previous concurrence of a major
ity of those citizens who are entitled to vote,
whether they vote or not.
On the other hand, it is contended and most forc
ibly, (hit the previous concurrence here required
is the concurrence of a majority of the voters—a
majority of those who vote —of those who actually
come f orward and express their wishes b> voting
The Statute requires that those who do so vote,
shall be legal voters, and it specifies the pre-requ,-
sites to a citizen’s becoming a legal voter.
If there could be tenable ground for supposing
that the words “legal voter-,” here used, were in
tended as synonymous with the words legally enti
tled to vote, and that the first italicised portion of
the sentence, above quoted, would, standing by it
•elf, mean that “ No subscription shall be made
in any case, without the previous concurrence of a
majority of all those in the city legally entitled to
vote,” a different construction is forced upon us by
what follows.
• And unless a majority of votes be in favor of
any subscription, it shall not be made.” In other
words, if a majority of votes be in favor of sub
scription, it may be made. There can be no other
meaning to these last words of the Statute. If
there was any ambiguity in the previous language,
there can be none when taken in connection with
the closing words of the sentence.
The construction, we here contend against, is
evidently an after-thought on the part of the op
ponents of the subscription. For days before the
election, and up to the moment of closing the
polls, the opponents of subscription used the most
strenuous efforts to rally every man entitled to
vote, and bring him to the polls to rote so sun-
SCRIPTION.
Why was this done? There were one thousand
and ninety names registered, that was the number
of persons legally entitled to vote. If they had all
voted that would have been the entire number of
legal votes. Now, if it required a majority of one
thousand and ninety, to-wit: five hundred and for
ty-six votes to be polled in favor of Subscription*,
to authorize the City Council to subscribe, where
was the necessity of the opponents of subscription
making this rally to obtain votes on their side?
Why did they vote at all? If it were necessary
that there should be five hundred and forty-six*
votes, polled for subscription, to carry that
measure, its opponents had only to stay away
and keep all they could influence away from the
polls. If they could have thus prevented a ma
jority of all entitled to vote from recording then
opinion in favor of subscription, their work would
have been done, and their triumph complete.
But they seem not so to have understood the law
They acted r.s if understandingthe law to be, that
all those entitled to vote were to be allowed to do
so. The polls were to be opened for the purpose,
and as the majority of those voting deeided--asa
majority* of those who on the occasion were “legal
voters ” decided—so should the City Council con
sider itself instructed.
The opponents of subscription acted throughout
as if they understood that less than a majority of all
the registered names might decide the subscrip
tion. They acted, and conducted the contest in the
spirit of the universal understanding, that the ques
tion was to be decided by.those who voted. As the
majority voted, so was the City Council to be con
sidered as instructed, for, or against, subscription.
As an independent proposition, we deny that there
is any evidence that one thousand and ninety was.
on yesterday, March 29th, the number of those legal
ly entitled to vote in the citv ; or, in other words,
that there were that mmy who could, by voting,
be :. inters. Therefore to have insisted that
five hundred and forty-six votes should be polled in
favor of subscription, before the City Council
could be authorized to subscribe, would have been
absurd. The registry of names closed at 2, P. M.,
on Monday the 24th inst. Up to that time one
thousand and ninety registry tickets were issued.
It is clear then that no more than one thousand and
ninety could legally have voted on Saturday the
2eth. But is the presumption a sound one that
the whole one thousand and ninety were in exis
tence on the *29th.
Had none of them died? Had none of them moved
away ? Had none of them become disqualified m
any manner from voting? If proof in such a case
could be gone into, it might perhaps be made to
appear that the one thousand and ninety, had, by
Providential or other causes, been cut down to
one thousand and eighty-five, or one thousand and
seventy, or one thousand and fifty, or am- other
given number. The majority ot one of these num
bers then, and not five hundred and forty-six,
would be the proper figure, under the construction
we combat, at which the law would fix the vote, to
authorise subscription.
But where is .he tribunal to go into evidence as
to th ? number of deaths, removals, and disquali
fications, and thus t ■ fix upon the exact number
who were entitled to vote upon the question on the
day the polls were opened ?
Uritish Fillibusterism.
Long before the United States had an existence as
an independent government, Great Britain had been
the giant filibuster of the civilized world. What i
she was then, she still continues to be, a rapacious,
unscrupulous and lawless fillibuster. The differ
ence between our system and that of the western
hemisphere is, that her movements in that line are
authorized acts of her government, without excit
ing protest or remonstrance of her people. Amer- j
ican filibustering is the unauthorized action of
bands of reckless adventurers who seek, with
arms in their hands, to colonize semi-barbarous
and sorely oppressed countries, and to carry with
them the forms of a higher civilization and the
principles of free and republican government.
They do this against the will and in defiance of the
remonstrances of our own government, and succeed
only when they can elude its vigilance, and pass by
stealth beyond its jurisdiction.
The British (filibusters go in the lust of conquest
and the spirit of oppression and robbery, carrying
with them chains and slavery and the merciless
extortion of tax-gatherers. The American filli bus
ters go as propagandists of liberty and republican
ism, carrying hope to the oppressed, and the arts of
improvement and the spirit of enlightened enter
prise. Blood, and groans, and desolation and death
must follow in the train of the British fillibuster.
The blessings of agriculture, commerce, peace and
good government, mark the progress and shed their
cheering influences along the pathway of the
American fillibuster. They go forth to subjugate
wild nature to their sway, and bring forth the kind
ly fruits of the earth to reward peaceful industry,
to enrich commerce, and add comforts and luxu
ries to the common stock (if the world’s produc
tion. In due time, smiling villages, flourishing
towns, and schools and churches dot the landscape,
and diffuse their blessings in the once untenanted
wilderness, or among rude and misgoverned people.
Such are among the fruits of the settlement of
Texas, conceding for argument sake, that the
Americans who settled there went on {filibustering
principles and aims, and were not legitimately
there by invitation and the free consent of the Mex
ican Government.
Let us look at the latest picture of British filli
busterism and annexation presented to the view
of the world. The Kingdom of Oude, virtually
conquered and made subject to British rule in
1765, it has until recently retrived a nominal inde
pendence, having a native ruler with the title of
King. Now by a late decree of the East India
Company, a branch of the British Empire, whose
acts are in fact the acts of England, the Kingdom
of Oude has became incorporated as a part of the
British possessions, and its King is to be settled
off with an annual pension. This kingdom is about
230 miles in length by 180 in breadth, and has an
area of 23,738 square miles, aud is a fertile and
productive country. Its population is 2,970,000. It
is estimated by the English that they will be able
'.o raise a revenue of $10,000,000, from this coun
try to pay the expenses of governing it. They re
resent it as miserably oppressed and misguided
>v the native officials, and promise it, under British
rule, an amelioration of condition. But let us see
vnat, judging the future by the past, is yet in store
for that unhappy people. A recent investigation
9y a commission at the instance of Parliament, has
disclosed some fearful storiisof British humanity
n the East. The following comments by a write:
‘U the New York Tribune are to the point:
England appears to have been gloriously ignor
sut ol the real state of her Indian Emperor. In
-videuce of this, take some horrible and startling
statements of the existence of torture used direct
ly by British officials, in the collection of ground
ent in the Presidency of Madras, in tins'part of
British India there are not native middle-men li -
on whom the onus of such cruelty could be thrown,
is the peasant is immediately responsible to Gov
rnment. A commission to decide whether torture
.s used has declared that “the only conclusi n
vhic’u any impartial tnind could arrive it is, tha
personal violence, practiced by the native revenue
and police officials generally, prevails throughout
tie Presidency; and that many of these practices
oust cause acute, it’ temporary or even mouicn
ary, agony: and that in no few recorded iu
slances ias appears by the calendars) even death
had followed their infliction.” On this subject
i great mass of facts are presented, and in reading
hem, such as they have just officially been made
mown, we do not known which most to admire tin
variety aud ingenuity of the tortures, practiced
not only on men but'on women, or the fact that
-he existence of such a system should have been up
> this moment utterly unknown to Exeter Hall ot
Parliament. The evidence is indeed overwhelm
ing, and the most remarkable part is that witnes
ses declare that no laws can eradicate this practice,
- metitied and sanctioned as it is by immemorial
ime. The Commissioners seek to palliate these
tbuses by showing that they are less horrible than
. irtures inflicted under the native Governments.
But this defense is rather ragged when we remem
ber that the natives die under the British torture,
• aeh as prolonged immersion in water-tanks; lor
tble compression of the arms, thighs, and even
the bodt*, by tying a coil of rope round them, and
then applying cold water so as to cause it to con
tract and sink into the flesh; burning with hot
irons ; hanging heavy stones round the neck; the
stocks; tying up a bunch of defaulters by the hair
so that every movement is attended with pain ;
starvation ; prolonged deprivation of sleep; beside
various other cruelties too disgusting to describe.
Reduced, too, as the East India Company now is,
to the necessity of keeping up the opium trade—a
system unparalleled for national effrontery and
brutality, which, as we recently showed, murders
about five hundred thousand persons a year and
renders the propagation of Christianity a' ghastly
farce in China—the Indian Empire in British hands
needs, beside the abolition of torture at first and
second hands, a vast extension to the newlv under
taken internal improvements, the better adminis
tration of justice, the abolition even of snttees, to
commend itself to distinct approval. But that
apart, it must not be forgotten that unceasing war
in India is acknowledged by the London Times to
be the inevitable price paid’ for the original British
conquest and present possession. This make tilli
busterism the rule of the Cast India Government.
Hence, the impudence of the British public in
speaking of American Fillibusterism is simplv
sublime. It is difficult to portray the hypocrisy
which lives on fillibusterism in the Eastj and de
nounces it in the West. This hypoerisv is still
more vast when we contemplate the ferocity with
which radicals and conservatives together raised
their discordant shrieks for the utter destruction of
the lleets of their Eastern rival. Russia, in the
Black and Baltic seas. England is not only the
hies fillibuster among European nations, but is
letermined if she can help it, Russia shall have no
nand in the game. And yet there are those among
us who sympathize with her opposition to Russia,
whose absorption of Turkey would not only prove
poliiicallv and industrially advantageous to that
country, but by establishing a political counter
poise, strengthen the cause of freedom in general.
Mr. Virgil Bocllemet, the President of the
Howard Association in New Orleans, died in that
city on the 23d inst. The New Orleans Picayune,
of 24th inst., says : “ Like Howard, Mr. Boulle
met had been engaged for about nineteen years in
his labors of love and ntercy, and like Howard he
died in a foreign land, and his dying bed was sur
rounded by strangers, who knew him only as one
who loved hi 3 species, and labored to alleviate
their woes and afflictions. The remains of How
ard lie in the Crimea, near the present seat of war,
but those of Bocllemet have been reclaimed bv
his friends and deposited among those he loved aud
was beloved by. ‘ If,’ said the eloquent preacher,
‘it be honor for the warrior to have the roar of ar
tillery and the rattling of musketry over his grave,
what honor would there be at the tomb of our
brother, could we hear the sighs of anguish he has
soothed, the woes he has alleviated, the tears of the
widow and orphan he has quenched, the pangs of
ckuess and sorrow which by his gentle ministra
tions have been changed into smiles of health and
hopefulness ?’ ”

Backing Down in* Kansas. —Gov. Robinson has
sent a second message to the Free State Legisla
ture of Kansas, stating that in his previous com
munication he intended to recommend no course to
be taken in opposition to the General Government, or
to the Territorial Government; while it shall remain
with the sanction of Congress, collision with either is
to le avoided. In conformity with these sugges
tions of the “Free State” Governor, both houses
have adopted the following resolution :
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Represen
tatives of the State of Kansas, That the laws en
acted by the present Legislature shall not have ef
fect until an act be passed by the present or some
future Legislature declaring them in force.
It is stated that Judge Lecomptb, of Kansas, has

science has elicited more acute observation and
profound research ; and yet physicians are very
much divided in opinion on the subject. It. must
be admitted, however, that, after all, a mode of ex

their presence, is of more value than the wisest
disquisitions as to the origin. The expelling agent
