Verily the way of the transgressor is hard, and Willingham don't make it any easier. teiegrams of yes terdny inform us that tlie entire Dem ocratic State ticket was elected in Con necticut on the 4th. It is highly probable also that the Democrats have carried both branches of the Legislature. Congrkm.— Tue Journal’s Washing ton Special, of the sth, says : The Sen ate to day considered and passed the joint resolution paasod by the House, relative to the sinking of the United States stuniner Oneida, by the English s earner Bombay, off the coast of Japan. The considerate of the Georgia bill was resumed. Sumner made a charateristic «peoeh in support of the original House bill, with the Morton amendment attached, and in opposition to the Bingham amendment. Mr. Carpenter followed with a Rtrong Conservative and Constitutional address, in the course of which he took occasion to criticise the action of Sumner, Mor ton and other leading spirits among the Radicals, with the utmost severity. The House of Representatives pass ed a bill transferring the Freedman’s Bureau to the Bureau of Education. Gen Lkb.—Tuc ovation accorded to this groat ohiefuio at every stage cf his progress, show’s that the pulsations of the Southern heart ur.e yet true to the great principles which originated the late war. Though defeated and overthrown, they are no less correct in the abstract, sud should never bo abandoned. Iji future we can only seek, however, to impress them upon the nation by reason and argument, aided powerfully likewise by the lessons of past experi ence. Our Northern brethren are them selves beginning to realize the fruition of despotic rule, and the obliteration, practically, of State lines. Grievous taxation, class legislation, tie sale of office, unprecedented squar. de-ring of the people’s money, fraud in high places, the prostitution of the elective franchise, all predicted by the South, and foivehadowed before the late war, teach the wholesome mord, that tha reform which they hoped to defeat by the subjugatiop of our people, must now be iuaugmajtcd by tbeni.selycs. Nor would we be surprised jto see the august hero niw laboring in seclu sion for the good of mankind, elevated by the spontaneous acclaim of the whole nation tu the chief magistracy. Tliep indeed might we hope that a better day was dawning. Morton’s Fifteenth Amendment Bill —ll orlop's bill to enforce the 15th Amendment, says the Macon Tel. graph, by punishing with fine and imprison ment all who may attempt to control vo ters in the exorcise of the suffrage, judg ing from the fust section of it, is sim ply a bill to place the Southern whites at the mercy of whoever will suborn ne gro t» stunony aguiust them. This bill proposes to fine and imprison whoever •hall “prevent, hinder, cta.tro! or intimi date, by means of bribing nr threats, of depriving the voter of employment, or occupation, or ejecting such persons from houeeo or lands, or other property, or by threats of refusing to renew leases nr contracts for labor, or threats of violence fp himself ->r fami'y”—making it very dear is no possible self-pro-, lection to any person hiring negro hands iji- haf’hg negro tenants. The man who refuses to ro-oontract with or ro loaFe tu them, at the expiration of their terms of #e:vjee or occupancy, is per fectly at their mercy, or at the mercy of any tnan who c!*tx*sea to employ them to do a little swearing at small cost in the interest of private vengeance.— Con stitution D3T Tho road commissioners of this county were pretty badly ‘skeered’ when tiiey were brought before Judge Har-> rJI for not having the roads in good order. Ilis Honor says the road laws in the State have fallen into disrepute, and fie intends they shall be respected in the Pataula Circuit. The fine is not less than fifty nor more than two hun dred dollars. Road Commissioners hid better ‘look *harp.’— Fort Gaines Mirror. mr The Board of Commissioner* have decided to build the new Court House and Jail of B.bb county, and have awarded the contract to a Mr. G. B. Hibbard, of Chicago, for the sum ot $75,000. The buildings will be erected after the plans drawn hy Mr. G. F. Randall, Architect, of the same city.— JUncon Journal. Th* nartry men in Illinois say that the cold weather which coated the limbs and bodies of the trees with ice will cans® n heavy crop of fi uit this year, 'iuey ss»V the ice will kill the bark lice „ I .iw.',.s-i of A.- tt'.ytc Ctn-ulio. The Plot Thickens- Gen. Grant has at length officially proclaim**! -the adoption of the loth Amendment, as an integral portion of the Constitution of the United States. For once also our rsticcnt President, feeling free and easy before a negro au dience, essayed to make “sumrant - ” of a speech on the picayune order, and con- 4 grutulated Africa at this proudest achievment of his horse administration. And yet the Executive of a great, nation knows full well, that the assigned ratification of this article, which ele vates ignorance, and degrades intelliv genee, is a foul fraud perpetrated ia the face of high heaven. States notoriously excluded from the Union and robbed and stripped of every attribute of sovereignty, nay, even while garrisoned by Federal troops, and ruled by a military satrap, have been forced to accord their assent to this ultra radical measure, as a condition precedent to their subsequent admis sion, mid then for long weeks and months denied tfcm pitiful boon they sought. JL Was ever such a poli cy pursued on earth before, by a civil ized government ? Political jugglery like this out ller ode UvrrxJ, and the blrnh the punic faith of is emi. neDtly worthy Statesmen, who are the fathers and promoters of the iniquity. The fraudulent tinkering which cheats and swindles in. the manufacture of merchandise, and the intolerance and bigotry which led to the fiery stake helpless women charged with witchcraft, are reproduced in national politics, to the disgrace and scandal of all chrirten dom. True, such enactments sustained by a corrupt and venal judiciary, and back ed by armed legions, may be foisted upon an indignant people who are pow. erlesft to resist them. But who does not believe, that they are coexistent only with the domination of tho cor rupt party that originated them ? The tidal wave of reaction has al ready swept over the Empire State, and soon its billowy crest will dash against the walls of the Capitol, and like another deluge, submerge and destroy the corrupt offijo holders of the nation. The attitude of Southern men there fore and especially ths true sons of Georgia, Trf view ot the defeat of the Bingham Amendment, should be that of calm remonstrance, until tha way to the ballot box is again open. Then let us try conclusions wit!) atjr enemies and pronounce judgment upon their high mimes and misdemeanors. Who oan doubt the nature of the ver dict ? Time to Advertise. Once more we take the liberty of dl renting the attention of our business men to the subject of advertising. The opening of the Spriug trade, at a time like the present, suggests the im portance of keeping one's name, loea’jty and special inducements 'to--purchasers, constantly and prominently before the people. While we have in Cuthbert, -ome men who, from personal experience know the benefits to be derived from a discreet use of printer’s ink, and keep up u living, business, oven through the dullest seasons, there is a popular and glaring fallacy, to wit: thut advertising ♦locs not bring trade, and will do no good. Never a greater mistake. Ju di* ious advertising is the life of trade, and that merchant who thinks trade is not induced to a place by the show of a conspicuous advertisement, is certainly blind to his own interests. Au advertisement kept before the public, is a perpetual sign and a perpet. ual invitation to buyers—no mutter what the business may be. Those who have recognized the wisdom of a systematic and judicious investment in advertising, are the namea that now stand forth in the whoki country, as the synonyms of wealth. Tho main reason why the few outstrip the many, in the race after fortune, is because of their superior sagacity in availing themselves of a liberal use of printer s ink. Those wh+i rely mainly upon their business integrity, and vainly imagine that business fi .ds the tnan, are simply mistaken. In this progressive age it is the man that finds the business. We are frequently met with the objec tion that advertising is too high. But the fact is, advertising here is cheaper than it is anywhere in the North or West —where it is done by tiie line, at from twenty cents to two dollars. Upsides, if business men w’ero to adyertisa.liber ally, publishers would soon be enabled to make rates still lower ; whereas, by only one in ten advertising, our terms must remain as they are, to enable us t» meat heavy current expenses. We are, however, prepared to extend to our merchants rpecial inducements, and will give them no cause to complain of high rates. Call upon us and be informed. A good advertisement, truthfully says tho LJ“field Advertiser, wifi ring longer than any fire-bell, and is tho staff of life in trade, j*.’st an bread is tho staff of human life. Advertising enables a business man to pla>'« his goods before the eyes of who otherwise would not know of their exiotepce, of that of their owner. The B. & A. R. R..Trocglbs.—The press of Gerogiu will confer a favor by publishing this statement. The recent troubles were in consequence of a dis pute detween the friends of the late Su perintendent of Construction, Mr. F. A. B»bcoek, and Col. E. Hulbert, the Superintendent of the road, and not be cause they \)ere not paid, nor becaiwe they were paid in almost worthless scrip; and was eqtirely devoid of polit ical significance, both Messrs, Bab cock and HulLeit ar& Republicans, and so are tins m •j* >rity of their partisans. — Brunswick Appall. fijy- The new style of lan that looks like a revolver is intended exclusively lor the use of young Indies who arc perfectly killing- - Pharisaical New England For hypocrisy, intolerance, and caut, this section of the Union which as sumes par excellence to be a model for the whole world, takes the lead. With them cheating is reduced to a serine, and like the Spartans of old, stearng is only denounced, when so transparent as to bo discoverable. So in morals, clergymen preach poli tics aQd a higher law doctrine, from the pulpit, denounce slavery, and assume tho asceticism of a Diogenes, whilst se ducing the lambs of their flock, and leading the vilest lives in secret. No doctrine or tin i, however far fetched, fails to find adherents here. Yet the Sumners and Butlers of this favored region are tiie avant couriers of every reform and betterment of the morals of the people. Wituess the pas sage of the bill which virtually squelch es Mo rmo u ism with the swotd. \\ e esteem poligmav u great evil in the territory of Deseret and Salt Lake, just as we deplore paganism, and the war ehipera of the sun,-and crocodiles in oth er countries. Our blessed creed teach es however that the Bible, and the light of revelation alone, should exorwise such heresies. Persecution, but adds to their vitality, and the number of their devoters. But these sanctimonuwj*. reformers should begin their work at^iomo. Even Brigham, like Solomon of old with his hundred wives, is far more en durable than those northern communists, who degrade woman to to the level of the beust, anil utterly ignore the sacred obligations of the marriage vow. Pes tilential knaves, they »hou!d be wiped out by the Ka-Kiutes, if the law is powerless to reach them. Listen to the following fcate of New England depravity taken from the Springfield Republican : The Oneida (N. Y.) Communists, who have a branch establishment at Wallingford (Conn), are all well known for making Social'sin peetwriurily a suc cess, are getting ambitious of making converts, we judge. At any rate, their head man, John H. Noyes, the life and brains of this peculiar organization—-as Brigham Young is of Mnrntbnisin—has w ritten a* book giving a history of Com munisin in the United States, and set. ting forth, with greater p'aiuness than over before the belief of himself and his followers. Tho foundation, stone of llie community is the apostolic idea of hav ing '‘all things in common, ,f including person ,as well as properly, and this idea is thoroughly carried oat at Oneida, while we are informed that the Con necticut estab'isa.merit is one with the other, ‘-socially and financially.” No su'-h distiriottion, as husband and wife, parents and children, are recognized by this community, but all are considered as belonging to one another, relations only being regulated by the attraction that one has another. Among the articles of the creed that legitimate ly lbilow from this fundamental belief are that shame is sin ; the abolition of marriage and the .substitution of Com munism is a Christian duty, etc. Tiiis statement of the belief of the Oneida Communists is no new thing, and is only worthy of notice from the broadness and frankness with which it is now stuted by the le ider «>f the com munity, and the evident attempt to at tract attention by means of this book.— It is also worthy of note that the people professing and practising-.heae pritioi. [lies —as much viler and more demoral izing than Mormonism as can be imag ined—are subject to no molestation, eith er legal or unlawful, thought closely, surrounded by neighbors to whom their belief is no less abhorrent than their ac tions. If any great assignation estab lishment like this had been set up witti out the pretence of religious belief to buoy it up, it would have been disposed of pretty quickly. But Americans are very lenient to all forms and phases of religious belief, and there is no denying that it is a much belter way than to imi tate the religious persecutions of the Old World and the sixteenth century.— But it is equally evident that this toler ance permits some strange anomalies both of government and social life ; and it is hardly to be wondered at that for eigners, who cannot be expected to know us thoroughly, sometimes get- a wtong impression of us when told that we permit the Oneida Communists to flourish in the heart of Now York and allow the Mormons out :n Utah to have as many wives as they want, though everybody else is strictly limited to one. IsniqKSTtßi.E Ministkhs. — Henry' Ward Beecher is having a controversy with Dr. B-1 lows, tho eminent Unitarian di vine, in the Christian Union, and makes some amusing illustrations, he Doc tor endorses him, in some respects, and hlr. Beecher replies as- follows: -‘The history of Jonah should have*taught us the danger of swallowing ministers.— They are proverbially hard of digestion. The whale meant well, no doubt, but did not know wdiut he had undertaken. He doubtless thought that the prophet had no bones, because he did not, like a lobster, wear them on the outside. It is a question which is more to be pitied —the whale or the prophet. At any rate, k is cured whales of swallowing ministers ever after. From that day to this rvo whale has over, be-o known to swallow a minister whole-” The Rkwaud for tub Capture of Jef ferson Davis, —Two hundred and thir ty-seven drafts, varying in amounts from .two hundred and sixty three dol lars to one thousand two-hundred and eighty-one dollars, are being prepared at the Treasury Department ‘ for the captors of Jeff Davis, amounting in ail to one hundred thousand dollars, offered for his capture in 186a. A majority of the captors aro residents cd Michigan and Wisconsin. Arming The Southern States.— The following is the bill which passed the Uuited States Senate on the 21st: “Be it enacted etc., That the quota of arms due to each of the States of Vir giuia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, .Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and T xas, under tfiv‘ statute of April 2,3, Isoß, be allow ed to the States in the saipe manner as if the sh.i‘l act had not been modified; and that UW chief <>f ordnance shall on requisition ill tho usual fur n, deliver to the said several States the aims ot their equivalent in ordnance stores froqi January, 18Q1, to January, 1865.’ gQT The hotels in Cedar Keys, Phi., that are raised oi> piles have holes bored in the first floor, at convenient distances apart, to be used instead ot spittoons. — Generally there is a bole bored in the flour near to each bedstead which is ia 1 the room. The Fifteenth Amendment- MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT GRANT. PROCLAMATION OF SECRETARY FISH. message of president grant to congress. ExecdkvbMansion, March 30, 1870. To the Senate and House oj Representa tives : It is unusual to notify the two Houses of Congress by message of the pro mulgatiow, by proclamation of the Sec fetary of State, of the ratification of a constitutional amendment. In view, however, of the vast importance of the Fifteenth Amendment ot the Constitu tion, this day declared a part of that re vered instrument, I deem a departure irom the usual custom justifiable. A measure which makes at once four rnil iious of people voters who were hereto* fore declared by the highest tribunal in tiie land not citizens of the United States, nor eligible to become so (with the assertion that ‘‘at the time of the Declaration of Independence the opinion was fixed uuivorsal in the civilized por tion of the white race, regarded as an axiom in morals as well ns in politics, that black men had no rights which white men were bound to respect” ) is in deed n measure of grander importance than any other or\e act of the kind from the foundation of our free government to the present time. Institutions like ours, in which all power is derived directly from the peo pie, must depend mainly upon their in telligence, patriotism and industry. I call the attention, therefore of the newly enfranchised race to the their striving in every honorable man ner to make themselves worthy of their new privilege. To the race more fa vored heretofore by our laws, I would say, withhold no legal privilege of ad vancement to the new citizen. The fra mers of oqr constitution firmly believed that a republican form of government could not endure without intelligence and education generally diffused among tho people. The “Father of his Coun try,” iu his Farewell Address, uses this language ; “Promote, then, as a matter of prima ry importance, institutions fur the gen era! diffusion of knowledge. In propor tion as the structure of government gives force to public opinion, it is essen lial that public opinion should be en lightened.” Iu his first annual message to Con gress the same views were forcibly pre seated, uud are again urged iu his eighth message. I repeat that the adoption of the Fif teenth Amendment to the constitution cwqvletes the greatest civil change and constitutes the most important event that has occurred since the nation came into life. The change will be beneficial in proportion to the heed that is given to the urgent recommendations ui Washington. If these recommenda tions were important theu, with a popu lation of Out a few millions, how much more important now, with a population of forty millions, and increasing in urop id ratio! I would, therefore, call upon Congress to take all the means within their con stitutional power to premote and en courage popular education throughout the country, and npoo the people every wh re to see to it that all who possess and exercise political rights shall have the opportunity to acquire the knowl edge which will make their share in the government a blessing and not a dan ger. By such means only can tiie bene fits contemplated by this Amendment to the constitution be secured. U. S Grant. PROCLAMATION OF THE SECRETARY OF "STATE. The following is tire piocUmuttoiv of the Secretary of State referred to in the Message of the President: HAMILTON FISH, SECRETARY OF STATE Os THE UNITED STATES. To all to whom these Presents mvj come, Greeting.
