Tress Convention the present month.
The prooaedings of the Association
were hurried through at Atlanta to
make way for the Press excursion., und

Besides, so far as we are informed,
the weekly press of the State haa nev
er been invited to join the Southern
Press Convention, and the presence of
any of its representatives at that time,
might be construed Into a desire to
seek admittance where they -were not
wanted.
If the Association bus inherent merit,
(and we believe it can be made largely
beneficial to tbe craft,) let it appoint ii»
own meetings, and assume the dignity
and coseequenc* to which it is justly

The adoption of the 15th amendment,
and its immediate enforcement, will
throw into politics, without preparation

voters.
For the most part under ihe' centrol
ami guidance «f artful, and corrupt
men of both race??, it is easy to see
rhat a powerful disturbing element to
the public peace, we have now to con
tend with. In many Btates this class
will holti the balance of power com
pletely between the existing political
parties. Manifestly the question then
obtains, what shall be done to modify
and abate the threatened evil? We an
swer, Christianize and educate the col
ored masses.
Legislative bodies, corporations, and
the whites generally, must lend their in’
fluence, and co-operation to this great
work. We do not mean Bitch educa
tion as is usually imparted by N«w
England Alarms, and interested carpet*
buggers. This consists of a little smat
tering from the bonks, and a vast
aiß't'iiit of prejudice and ill feeling
which is sedulously encouraged agaiust
their employers, and the owners of the
anil. Such teaching cun only result in
a harvest of ruin to ajil concerned.—
We would urge the faithful preaching
of a pure gospel, and the establishment
of first class common schools, presided
over by men of the first intelligence, and
finished education. Nor do wo regard
this work as in any sense degrading to
those engaged in it.
On the contrary, they should be es
teemed patriots and public benefactors
of the highest order.

We mutt educate tlie musses, or re.

Miseegenation and tho destruction of
caste, 'however, need not enter into the
programme. God lias erected barriers
between the various races of the
globe which man may not seek to
surmount. Experience, too, has shown
that a mixed and mongrel population
like all hybrids, results in degeneracy
and moral ruin to each race.
Let tho blacks therefore have schools,
colleges, and other seminaries exclusive
ly f.jr their own color, and until quali

in tl»o land should not hesitate to tak.e

Ignorance is the hand maid of barba

We repeat then, let us have a system
of common schools adapted to- the
wants of each race, and all unite in the
commendable work, of elevating the
mental and moral condition of the large
portion of the community, who have
lately been iuvested with the rights of
citizenship.

‘‘The Women of the Lobby.*’
A correspondent of the World, gives
a lengthly description of the operation
of the Washington female bill-pushers
and office-getters. It says :
Among the lobby women here last
winter was the daughter of a present
United States Senator, whose father
years ago refused to let her marry the
man of her choice. She eloped with
him - he deceived her by .a mock mar*
riage, lie having two other wives, so call
ed living—fie took all hjr jewels, and
even most of her clothing, and aban
doned her. She went to the bad head
long, refused all overtures to return
home, and the father and daughter used
to pass one another in the Capitol a
year ago—she a wanton and he a Sena
tor —and never speak. Nor did either
ever betray the event to any one. Ho
caller her dead—she consented to be
dead even to him.
Another Senator’s wife, who is an in
valid, cannot be unawue, for no one else
ts, that her husband has stocked no less
than six of his mistresses on the civil
service as clerks, and that ho adds to
the number every session. It will be
interesting to note how tie votes on Mr.
Cragin's anti-Moraion bill
Another Senator, a Southwest carpet
Dagger, loisted his misties on the Treas
rry Department fast year, and was in
fluential enough to have lieu salary con
tinued while he sent her on to Now
York to undergo an abortion. She died.
The Senator himself drew the arrears
of pay ostensibly for the motlnw of the
murdered woman, who lias yet to see the
first cent oi it.
Another honorable, this time of the
House, was driven out of a leading ho
tel six years ago for notorious conduct
with a married woman, and that with
the consent of her husband. The bus
band is now clerk of that C-mgressmau’s
committee, his wife is the Congressman’*!
niVtrens, her son is a page on the floor
of the House, and waits on his mutual
father every day.
War Against ths Central Rail
road.
It has become fashionable with some
of our interior prints, to attack and be
rate thi* ancient enterprise with the ;
most unsparing malignity.
Welrstve no sympathy with any such
course.
To the'Central R diroad should be
ascribed the honor of developing, more
tlian every othej road in the State com
bined, the material interests of Georgia-
Though a stripling in years, we wel,
remember the herculean efforts of th •
lamented Gordon to construct this great
work, when Railways every where wire
but an experiment, and the Empiie
State like a sleeping giant gave no in
dications of her intrinsic and latent pow
er.
Southern commerce and capital also,
in those days were in their infancy com
paratively, and Savannah long stationa
ry and even retrogress! v», was little
more than a respectable aßd dilapida
ted looking village.
For many long years the work drag
ged its weary trail along, and stockhold
ere dispaired of the result of their ven
tures But thunks to a tireless energy
and enlightened fore cast, at length the
goal was reached, and soon the ‘ quick
ened pulses of trade, and the gathering
products of the interior at their ocean
outlet, sent new lift- through the arte
ries of our Rip Van Winkle seaport.
Theu sprang up a rage for internal
improvements, which has since culmi
nated in a magnificent net work of
roads, which permeates all quarters of
our great commonwealth.
But not cantent with State lines, this
powerful organization, under the suc
cessive administration of sagacious men,
has pushed f>n th its arms and feelers
abroad, mid by consummate diplomacy
and tact, invited to our borders, and
poured in'o our lap* the weallh and pro
ducts of distant regions.
Nor ie there on record any instance
of the so called rapacity, which would
discriminate against even our own peo
ple and cripple other enterprises. On
the contrary, her powerful hand has been,
vouchsafed to succor the weak and sink
ing.
Witness the aid extended to the 8a
vannuh and Augusta Railroad, and the
continued working of the Milledgoville
brunch.
The late effort to purchase the stock
owned by Savannah, iu the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad, also, agaiust which such
a hue and cry haa been raised, we hon
estly believe would have inured to tlie
advantage of that enterprise. Subsid
ies might then have been afforded for
tlie further extension westward, of Jhe
Grdt Road, an object greatly to be de
sired.
In tho case of the lease of the Sou h
western Railroad, likewise, ail the prog
nostications of her enemies have been
defeated, instead of increased freights
thu tariff of rates lias been reduced and
those unjust discriminations as to
througli and local fuses, which gave
such offence last year, have been greatly
modified.
In Conclusion therefore, we must pro
test against the unnatural and ungen
erous efforts of some of our conteinpo.
raries, to break down tbe old central,
and to that extend cripple the prosperi,
y of our queenly seaboard metropolis.
If Georgia was as true to her princi
pal seaboard as Carolina is to Charles
ton, Savannah would ere long occupy
the very first rank among thi cities of
the Western Continent For one, we
wish her God speed with all our heart.
Macon Presbytery.
This eccle-iastical body closed its
business in this city on
noon, and adjourned to meet in the city
of Columbus on Wednesday, the sth
October, at 7i o’clock in the evening.
Its sessions were characterized by great
unanimity and good feeling, and impor
tant matters received suitable attention.
The discussions were conducted in
the most animated and harmonious man
ner. All tho delegates due were not
present, but the number was large
enough for practical purposes and
enough to make the exercises highly in
teresting. There was a reunion of
friends, (run whom they had been long
separated, and teacher and pupil met
after an absence of a score of years.
Tim people of Albany opened their
houses and their hearts to the strangers,
and many m rubers of both tho Baptist
and .Methodist Churches welcomed and
entertained the delg ites.
Before adjournment the following
resolution was passed :
Resolved, That the thanks of the
Presbytery be most heartily tendered to
the officers and members of the Presby
terian congregation, and the citizens of
Albany for their generous hospitality;
to the Methodist and the Baptist church
es for the offer to their houses of wor
ship on the Sabbath, and to the South'
western Railroad for the reduction of
lure to the members ot this body, and
that tho Rev. Mr. McKay I e requested
to communicate this resolution in such
a way as he may deem advisable.
Tin; pulpits of the several churches
were occupied on the Sabbath by the
several ministers of the Presbytery,
and large and attentive congregations,
listened to server and faithful Gospel
sermons. '
Dr. Wills preached an able sermon in
Mr. B.lily’s Church in the morning, to a
large and deeply interesting congrega
tion. The Doctor is better known in
Albany than most of the other ministers,
and whenever it is announced that he
will preach, crowds gather to listen to
him. A wish tor his early return here
has been frequently expressed in mu
ll' aring. In the evening he preached an
eloquent sermon tn the Presbyterian
Church on “Busy here and busy there.”
In the Methodist Church Mr. Nal! r of
Columbus, preached in the tno-rniug a
most el"qneiit sermon, and in the after
noon the children of the Methodist and
Baptist Sunday-schools uni'ed with the
Presbyterian Sunday schools, filling the
church to tho utmost capacity to hear
Mr. Nall.
'1 his meeting is regarded as one of the
most pleasant ever held by this Presby
tery, tifed kind recollections remain both
with the visitors and those who had the
pleasure of entertaining them. —Albany

Negro Jurors.
A majority of the grand and petit }«-
•ors drawn for the next term of our
Jireurt and Gity Oonrts are negroes.—
This is lhe first trial they have had in
his capacity hi-re and it is to be hoped
hat tire experiment will prove eatisfac
ory to interested parties. A similar
result of the ‘drawing’ on Dallas county,
suggested the following which we copy
t'rouv the Southern Argus :

But yesterday obscure, unknown, un

y of stomach, With no thought highei
ban his bread, no aspiration nobler
than to go to the polls at the bidding of
his loyal league masters anil to vote as
'hey directed, the probate judge, she?
ff, and clerk of the county, iu the dis
targe of their sworn duty, found him
esteemed in the community for his in
tegrity, fair charact- r, and sound judg
ment,’ and ‘competent’ to discharge the
futies of a petit jumr, and dragged Him
from beneath the shadow under which
iie had rested and thrust him forward
into the bright light of such immortal
i»y as rbe blessed spirit of radicalism
vjsits upon its ignorant devotees.
From his hoe to the jury bench,
thence to the photograph gallery, thence
to all parts of the world —this is the
way Seaborn Pluttenlmrg went; in
testimony whereof we submit from the
Omaha (Neb) Herald the following
careful description of a life-like picture
of the Seaborn aforesaid as fi v some
time past he has adorned the precincts
of the circuit court ot Dallas county in'
this city :
‘We are under many obligations to a
leading law firm of Selma, Alabama,
for a sweet scented photograph of a re
constructed Alabama juror. It is a
picture of a Selinu darkey, who having
been translated by the magic power nl
Northern Philanthropy and the diabol
isms of m:un-truoUoß, has become a
professional juror in that place.
‘The picture is highly eo npitmeni wy
to the artist, and i* exceedingly life-like.
The impre-sion of the nose would seem,
to be perfect. Its wings must have
been aiding hi an expiratoiy effort at the
moment the impression was taken, since
for true L’ongro flatness and breadtn, it
is represented as a Very rare protuber
ance. The detachments of isolated olus
ters of wool that seem to ornament the
cranial tumor of this interesting subject
are the only delenoes which this curi
ous brain conformation eej iy*, while
straggling tufts of a less kinky article
adorn the sides of the face, as though
the owner with his sweet glands in unu
sal activity, had just come out of a wool
carding machine. The photograph cer
tainly displayed great skill in getting
these piliferous elongations, but not
more dian in catching the real African
wrinkles of a face which, for :I th *t
speaks the animal, takes the shine off
from any baboon which was ever impor
ted.
“Great skill must have been displayed
also in getting tlie peculiarities of the
dress of this interesting citizen. It
seem* to be as tine an assortment of rags
its ever encased a specimen of the rose,
and the artist lias taken it to the last
latter. The c<>a' is buttonless, of course
but has a single fastening, which we
take to be secured by a piece of hemp.
Peering through this garment, and also
through tlie remains of wlmt was once
intended for a pair of pant.*, are tin
white fringes of another that evidently
has a hard duty to perform. The pants
are as buttonlesa as the coat, and the
picture shows that but for tlie cross
legged attitude of the colored brother,
it might contain a serious reflection up
on his modesty. The “counterfeit pre
sentment” is said by those to whom we
are uuiobted lor it, to be a, p I'fect like
ness,’ and they say, that to get t aken,
‘‘ho went straight from the jury box tu
the aitist.”

Congressional.
Washington, Ai*rii 12.—The Georgia
bill was resumed in the Senate.
Mr. Pomeroy offered an amendment
providing that anew election for Sena
tors and members to the Slate Legit-4
ture be held in 187*2 This was legal and
ed as the utmost concession the ex
treme Republicans would make.
Mr. Williams offered a substitute for
the Bingham amendment, the provis ona
of which w--uld secure the election of a
new Legislature in Georgia in Soptein.
her next.
This amendment also provides that
until the election and qual.fi.-.ation of u
new Legislature, as provided in the
substitute, and the State is admitted by
Congress, the government thereof shall
be considered provisional only.
It is considered certain that the Bing
ham amendment wi 1 be st i ken out,
as it is objected to by some of the ino- -
Grate Republicans as being too much of
a concession-
It. is ex|M'Cted. however, that the sub
stitute offered by Mr. Williams will be
adopted. It is thought to be a eompro
mine measure between the Democrats
and such of the Republicans as are led
by Sumner and Drake in the Senate,
and Butler and his wing in the House.
Bullock and his aids are bitterly on
posing the Williams substitute, as it
gives tire jn.ople of the State an earli.
er chance to change the State govern
ment, than was provided for by the
original Butler bill.
Should the House bill pass, with the
Bingham amendment stricken out and
the Williams substitute inserted, it will

have occurred in the Georgia L- gisla

tation in the lower house of Congress

The tfuiaifiy GdhJ&ramated- 1
Well the negro has become * .polifc.
cal fact. President Grant went oat «*1 his
way on Wednesday, to send a message
into Congress, announcing that the Fif
teenth Amendment had b*et» ratified by
the proper number of States, and be
come a part of the Constitution of the
United States ami must be ol»eyed as
such Instead of this event, the ratifi
cation of the Amendment, hieing the
grandest e|M>ch in American history, we
look upon it as the most unfortunate,
ad the most humiliating. We see
nothing to be proud of, nothing in it to
be grateful for. Three quarters of a
million of negroes have had the ballot
placed in their hands without their
knowing how to twe it. With the ex*
eepthm t>f one here and there who has
obtyjimd an education, and will be able
to vote with understanding, the great
mass of the new voters are in the most
debased condition, and governed by all
the brutal instincts of their race Take
the Southern negroes as a body and an
equal number of bahboon* or monkeys
are about u» competent to exercise the
rights and duties of citizens. This
great mass of raw material has been
thrown into the body poii'ic without the
leatt preparation. It would not l*e more
inconsistent to swoop up thu wild
CotnuQclies of the plains and march
them in a body to the ballot box, than
this enfranchising the negroes. The
natural consequence of giving the bal
lot to this class of persons will be to
greatly increase political corruption,
now already at a fearful height. They
will be in the market to the en rol of
the highest bidder, and will be as much
a marketable article as catte in the
shambles. Their very position will giv,.
them a controlling influence in Ameri
can polities ami their numbers will en
able them to decide popular elections
that are- not even close Almost any
price will be paid for their support, and
unless we sire very much mistaken in
«>ur view of things, their votes will
control the dt-siines of the country.
The view taken by some, that in a short
time, like the whites, the blacks wid <ii
vide their political allegiance between
the two great political parties of the
country, we do iu t consider sound
Some ot the more mtelligent among
them may do this, but thu great mass
are too ignorant and debased to follow
political convictions. They will follow
leaders instead, and those who will ca
ter most to their passions, ami will
receive then support. Tile' country will
soon find that there will rise up it class
of mulatto politicians, with enough
white blond in their veins to in ike them
shrewd, unscrupulous, and ambitious,
who will control their black brethren.
The party that bids the highes will get
lhe-e Airman allies. Then tlie whites
must not ftmget that negro voting leads
to negro office holding—which has ul
ready coma to pass—and negro officers
in tlie army and navy. This political
equality will gradually lead to social
equality, for in truth it has already
come Ur that, since the President of the
United Mates gives up his private box
at the theatre to a party of negroes. If
demagogues cultivate the negro politi
cally, they will not hesitate to cultivate
him socially. Part of the scheme ol
the extreme Radicals is to degrade the
white race to a level with the hegro,
and it looks Very much as tlnrugh they
would succeed. If the present genera
tion does not, their children will, realize
the great evil that negro suffrage
will do the country. If the roc-asme

The Ahvaxt.vgks of Advertising.—
The shrewdest business men fn tbe
world ever have availed themselves of
the facilities offered by the press for
placing their business b -fore the public.
The result has been, without exception,
largely to their advantage. Indeed, a
huge and successful business can hardly
be conducted now without frequent
communication with the public through
liberal advei tisemeiit. Os course, it is
our interest to say so, but is it any the
less the truth because we say it? An
adverti semeiit is certainly an invitation
from a manufacturer or trader to the
public to give him a call, and the small
outlay which it involves cannot possibly
be any great consideration to a business
tnan. As the spring season in all de
partments has op- nedwith a prospect of
good and continued trade, our mer
chants, manufacturers, «t«., will «J
