What it Costa Uncle Sam to Keep
House.
The appropriations voted by the
Second Session of the XXXIXth < on
grcss to pay for the current expenses 1
of the Government during the coa i*»f? i
year and to supply the deficiet.ees ot
the last fiscal period, amount to the pret |
tr little suni of $144,793.03 <6l. ihe i
Army takes $23,881,654; the Navy, j
$16,704,244; Mr Seward receives
two allowances of $30,000 for his At' ;
lantic Cable bills ; and the Postmaster
General gets $20,000 worth of twine
The military Academy at West Point !
is very liberally provided for, at an
expense of 5268,913, of which that
eminently useless body, the Board of
Visitors consumes $5,000, and another
5,000 is applied to an enlargement of :
the cadets’ laundry, which we should
think ought to be big enough now to ,
keep that dapper little company of
soldiers as clean as a row of new pins
4 The printing of our Government
money costs $20,000 ; the management j
of loans and notes cannot be effected
for less than $2,000,000 ; and for the
detection of counterfeiters we have a
bill of $150,000. Our expensive old
friend Pub. Doc. dances in to the tune
of 52,f69,108, which surely ought to
make Congress ashamed of itself
Next to the salary of Mr. Andrew
Johnson, the charge under which it
strikes us that we get the poorest
equivalent for our money is that of
$314,695 for the Department of Agri
culture. The purchase and distribu
tion of seeds which nobody wants costs
SBO,OOO, and the Botanical Garden,
where Mr. Commissioner Newton rai
ses hot house flowers for members of
Congress, is supported at an «.utiay of
$10,675. Ten thousand ddlors for
bouquets! But alter all that is not
worse than the ‘‘legislative” appropria
tion of $10,230 for horses and car
riages—a little bit of luxury in which
we mistakenly supposed the Common
•Council of New York wen unrivahd.
.The most bewildering thing of all is
the list qf appropriations for keeping
our public offices warm. Here, for
example, we have $9,000 for heating
tihe Supreme Court room ; $3,000 for
heatin;: the Cadet’s mess-room at West
Point; $40,000 worth of heating ap
paratus for the public buildings ; sl,-
•000 worth of ditto for th'c library of
Congress; $3,000 worth of fuel for
the White House; $5,000 worth of
fuel and lights for Congress:Jssooo fur
heating the Capitol; $2,000 for fuel
again at the White House at.d Capital, j
How in the world is it possible in a j
single winter to consume such emr- |
mous quantities of coal, is a problem j
quite beyond our comprehension. —
There is an item of $55,000 for light
ing the Capitol and White House, be- J
side which the illumination of the Ko- j
tunda by electricity iuvolJes an annual j
expense of $3,000, and the Govern- j
ment has to pay au electrician $1,200 j
a year to attend it.
The standing and familiar outrage
of all, which comes next to Pub. Doe.
Congressional*^floCeOii * flns*' costfy
luxury the Senate expends no less
than $8,157, and the House $120,892
—a grand total of $206,040. But
this swindle is to he stopped, Congress !
having already given notice of its in. j
tention to break off the contract with
the proprietors of that concern as soon I
as the two years’ warning which they
are required to allow have expired. —

Decline in Stocks. —The losses on
stocks in tho New Y’ork market have
been enormous since the first of De
cember. Tbe losses on nineteen
stocks (lurin'* the past two months
that is, since January Ist—amount to
nearly twenty-five millions, Duri.2"
that time Pacific Mail has declined
$4,600,000; Erie railroad, $2,600,-

New York Central railroad $2,500,,

Atlantic mail, $860,000; Fort M ayne,
$847,000; Quicksilver Mining Com*
pany, $700,090; and aix other stocks
from a quarter to half a million each,
making an aggregate of $24,812,000
on nineteen stocks.
A Scene in the House of Represent
tatives — Butler Blushes! —A Wash,
ington lettei in the Baltimore Gazette
says that when the Clerk of thq 11--use
ot Representatives, in reading Thad.
Stevens’ confiscation speech, came to
the following lines, “ lie commanded
tho men and the women tq borrow
from their confiding neighbors jewels
of silver and jewels of gold,” and that
they did so, “and spoiled the Egtp>
tions and went foith full handed,” ev
ery eye was turned upon Butler, whose
ordinarily chalky face assumed by
turns all the colors of the rainbow.—
The profanity of Stevens cannot, of
course, be justified on any ground;
but if, as is supposed, the allusion
was intended merely as a sly flight at
the hero of Bethel and New Orleans
(his rival for tho next presidency), it
must certainly be regarded as ltfss atro
ciously malignant.
Negro Suffrage North. —Last, year
tbe people of Connecticut voted down
the proposition of negro suffrage in
that State. But the Representatives
of Connecticut in Congress did n-1
hes tnie to vote for negro sufirug2 at
«ho South. The Mobile Re gistcr
thinks the negro voters here had bet
ted make a note of this, and remember
that while the Radicals think them
rood enough to vote with the Southern
white men, they do not begin to be
nood enough to vote with Radical
whites. The lesson this teaches, and
the remedy for the hypocrisy which it
points out, is lor the Southern whit s
and blacks to vote together against the
Radical*,

BREAK DOWN.
We have been informed that the
detention of the Savannah Train yes
terday, was occasioned by the “break
ing down’’ of the engine near Number
Twelve.
NEW STORES FOR RENT.
The two large two story brick stores
recently built by Dr. 11. J. Bruce, on
the corner ot Broad and Jefferson
streets* are now entirely completed for
business. They have been finished
off in gO"d style, at heavy expense,
and wcil located, as they are, for the
mercantile bust css, now present the
best bargains for Tenters that can be
had in Thomasville.
TEXAS ALMANACS.
Our book and stationery friend, up
■ town, J. U S. Davis, announces that
he has received a lot of Texas Alma
nacs for stile. His energy and enter
prise is worthy of emulation, and as he
! ordered them especially for the benefit
| and accommodation, of those who ex
press and a wish for them, we hope they
will now go and purchase without
delay.
MALICIOUS.
Passing along the Railroad yester
day, about one o’clock, we discovered
several stout pine poles laid across the
track, near the Culvert in the Young
College Grounds, a*-d evidently ar
ranged to throw the train from the
track. They were placed several sees
apart and propped cr “seoiclied,’’ to
prevent rolling when struck by the
cars. As the locality is ou a heavy
grade, the train, in going out would
have been unable to halt, even had
the obstructions been observed. A
sharp lookout should be kept for the
abandoned wretch who would thus
doom the innocent to unseen dcstruc<
tion. Tho Savannah train, being be.
hind time, passed over the spot about
two hours before we discovered the
obstruction.
VALUABLE SOUTHERN
BOOKS.
We take pleasure in introducing to
our cititens Mr. B. Z. Dutton, a na
tive, of South Carolina, and agent for
the sale of valuable and very popular
Southern works. Mr. Dutton, come*
to us highly recommended by disiin.
ouished Southern gentlemen, not oily
ta a i„ an
man of real worth, and deserving of
our confidence. H'e trust he will be
kindly received arid liberally patron.
iied. The works he offers for sale*are
no hniubog, nor trashy literature, but
are made up off ur own home interests
and abounding in the wealth of the
best Southern talent. The very names
of some of these works, send a thrill of
admiration and reverence to our hearts
whenever we meet with them , and
they should be found in the library of
every intelligent Southern gentlemen.
Among them we find Lkk !c His
Oknhrai.s—Morgan 5c Ills Men
Women of tiif. Soutu—Poluuios
History of the War and War
Poems of the South, by Win. Gill*
more Sims, one of the oldest living
and most popular literary writers ot
the South. We have examined each
of these works and have no hesitation
in recommending them to « discrimin
ating publio. All Books, like ni>' men,
have their faults, and wo would just
as soon think of rejecting all men be
cause none were faultless, ns we would
think of rejecting either of these
Books, b’cause they discovered some
faubs. They, howover, contain as few
faults as tlie generality of Southern
Books, hut treat upon subjects very
near to every true Southerners hoait,
and are splendedly printed mid bound.
This ought to be a sufficient reoom,
tncndation and wo here leave them in
the hands of purchaser*, of whom we
hope, there will be many.
EDITORIAL VISIT.
M e had the pleasure of seeing in
our sanctum ou tho day of out last,
issue, Mr. George l’adrick, editor of
tho Baiubridgo Southern Georgian.
He was on his return home from a
pleasure trip to the Forest City, whith
er he delights to go, on account of tho
“ big times ” he lias there, and the
big advertisements his visits so often
contribute to the columns of tho Geor
gian. From his own account wo infer
that he enjoyed his recent trip in a
high degree, and we thought there was
some lingering regret at the necessity
of return. He represents the Geor
gian as in a flourishing condition, and
wo hope he may be even more success
ful in the future than he has been in
the past.

The editor is an elderly gentleman of

a modest man also, which is a rare

The B.ble may be truly sai! to be

much science may object to its chro

named, makes to end on 4th of July,
1776 —stating that those periods have
| t liroc endings, the second the 27th of
April, 1865. on which day General
! Johnson surrendered, the third end
int* on the same day, 27th of April,
1878. What this last is we cannot
conjecture. Taking for granted Mr.

1 acknowledge this truth, that we arc
in the times of the end, or ii. the
sixth trumpet period ot tho world’s
i history, anu by referr ng to 11th ebap
! ter of Revelation, we find the closing
scenes of this era of tho world’s his
tory:—“And I will giv>- power unto

score days, clothed in sackcloth. These
arc the two olive tree* and the two
enndlestieks standing boforc the God
iof the earth.’’ By turn ng to your
Hibl.s you can read the remainder.
These two witnesses who are they or
wliat are they ? The 1260 days clear
i ly show them to be tho United States,
if Mr. Baldwin is correct in his first
calculation^; which Mr. B. entirely
overlooked in Loco. Why are they
called two witnesses ? This is ac
counted for by Mr. Baldwin in the
twofold character of the government,
Spiritual and Social or Ecclesiastical
and Civil. This may Lc coireet. we
thin!.' however, it has a more complete
identity in the fact ot Slicmet c and

nesses. It was declared pf Jupfu-th,
that lie should dwell iu the le.'Jt* Ol

conceded that the Indians are tho de
scendants of Shem, and the word tents
shows their roving unsettled life, and
because refusing to ti'l tho soil are
perishing, and Japhoth continuing to*
till his place.' Tho birthright Belong
ed to Shem, but God as in tiie case of
F.suu and Jacob, lias supplanted Shem
by Japhoth, and these two witnesses
are farther described as prophesying,
clothed iu sackcloth, us ancient pro
phots were dressed, showing it clearly
to refer to Jew*—also to de-troy by
lire if any man will hurt them, a* did
Elijah. Elijah a'so prayed and it
rained not. Moses turned water into
blood and smoto the earth with plagues.
For fuller account see Bible history of
the setting up ol' this Jewish or She
metie Republic, now set up as ancient
of days or Japhetic Republic, and
when they shall have finished their
testimony, or more literal, when they
shall be about tiohjliing their testi
mony—testini -ny to what? To the
power of self-government, or superb
ority ot Republican form of govern,
ment, *‘ The jteaat that ascendoth out
of the bottomless pit shall make war
against them and overcome them ”
By referring to Revelation 9c., I, 2,
11 verses, you will loam wliat place is '
meant by bottomless pit —17 0., Bv.,
20c , I—3 verses. It clearly is shown
to bo tho centre of all evil. The
name of tho prince in Hebrew is Ainal

file heart is his scut, and in which he
rules among men. Ho therefore be

Death of a Constitutional Repub
lic and Birth of a Kingdom.
The people of the South have had
their attention for some time pa t sO
painfully directed to the dying throw.
ul' an old Constitutional Republic erec
ted by our lorefathers, that tley have
scarcely noticed* Die birth of anew
kingdom upon the continent of North
America •
The passage hy_the House of Com
mons of the hill trir the conlederatiou
of the British Provinces on this con
tinent, creates a now and powerful
kingdom out of a number of and stiuct
and feeble province*. The new king
dom will in due season bc-Mino a great,
power, and the dream of annexing
Canada and other discontented British
provinces to the United States is -tr
over at an end. Indeed, the now king
dom will begin business modestly,
peacefully and prosperously, ‘-it the
very moment that martial law will take
tho place of civil and political liberty
in ten States of the I te Union.
The creation of this new kingdom,
out of a number ol« distinct Provinces,
was the work of' an hour. It is the
consummation of three or four years’
labor ut the leading statesmen of Brit
isli America. It has been secured
without force, and like the original
Confederation ol the States of this
Union, by the consent of each Prov
ince. Indeed, we believe that New
Foundland and Prinoo Edward's Is.
land have not yet seen tho wisdom ot
casting their lut with the other l’rov.
inees; lint the act leaves the door
open for their admission into the new
kingdom whenever they feel disposed
te enter. The agitation wfuofi has resul
ted in thtecousolidation of many die
tinct provnccs into a kingdom was, for
a long time vchcmertly opposed, the
‘‘.Maritime Province’ objecting to a
Union, being especially opposed to it
For more than a year the one sub# t of
c ntroversv was “Confederation ” Both
Upper and Lower Canada remained,
as they had done throughout, steady
to that purpose, and as the subject be
came better understood, loc and fears
Were appeased, narrow views were uri
cued down, and, with the exceptions
which we have named, all the Provin
ces eventually acquiesced tn the pro
posed union.
The representative department of
the new kingdom is limited to six
Senators and seventy-two members.—
The constitution of the kingdom, like
that which once prevail'd in this coun
try, at once enumerates and divides
the powers which are given to the
general government,, as well a- those
which are reserved to the seperate
Provinces. While, however, the sub
jects of local authority are severally
enumerated, it is expressly provided
that "the Parliament of t.ho Kingdom”
shall rule in all matters not 113s good
exclusively to the local Legislatures.—
Practically, the Central Parliament is
t» be supreme, except as to strict I v
local matters rescived to the constitiir
ent Provinces.
The people of the State of Maine
arc very belligerent ah -ut the advent
of this new kingdom, but the English
papers treat their discourteous greet,
ings with great contempt.— Richmond

Wliat Should be Douo.
If, within the next sixty days, the
j people of the Soutn have not mctluid
I iairly discussed their future prospects,
j the negroes, under the lead of the vi
: lest of whites, will have seized tho
j reins of government, and driven us to
| utter rain and eternal’ and sgrace.—
I Times.
If we are true to ourselves, to our
traditions and to t’-e high character
we won before tiie world in a long and
1 bloody war, and if w? nuke use of the
smallest modicum of common sense
! and common prudence, the fate pro.
j dieted by our neighbor will not over
i take us either in sisty days or sixty
| months. N'wr is this fate to be aver
Itei by a convention. In the present
unsettled arid s : art)ed condition of the
public mind a convention might be
elected that would hasten and precipi
tate the evil which the Times dreads.
To avoid it, tlxere is need of unity tn
; a firm and courageous policy. To in
: sure it. we have on ly to bocotns frigh
j ten and like a flock of sheep a*d give
I over eur destines and the control of
the colored populition to the handful
lof adventurers and interlopers who
1 have come down f-toutb to trade in our
- polrt'esl misfortunes an-i make money
and <-9ms and s.-.f-aeeking out of our
j fear*.
The greatest peril that confronts us
!it that of our own demoralization. It
l* l * / * i ‘ nro vrr* >«*•»*,
j and the late pictured by the Times
will not overt ,k us, hut ought to over,
take us. If we sit down in hopeless
despair and helpless cowardice and al
low a handTul of allied conspirators to
, whip us into radical arganization u-nd
| to take coin Miami of the Colored pen
' pie who have been horn and raised
j among us and with u-, there is no
! depth of humiliation and hsavery too
low for tur deservings But why
should wedo.it? Granted that the
negroes are to vote. How are they to
outvote us if we are united and if Mur
white loon do not luiseiy lake on their
necks the collars of Radica'ism which
' base in erlop ng wretches are Indus
triously preparing for them? If the
South' rn people are to be divided, and
a large part ol them go over to the
enemy, and we have our Stevens, and
Sumner, and M ade and Wendell
Phillips ( mong us, leading a Radical
party, why, of course, the game is up,
and every honest and earnest man,
proud of the good min e of his people,
,would only waste breath and feeling
in attempting to resist the shameful
degeneracy.
But where is the necessity for this ?
The Sherman bill, had as it is, docs
not forbid us to be united and trae to
ourselves, and it does not command us
to surrend'r wliat little of lights ot
government are relt us to the few
t unkoo jioliticul adventurers who have
come amongst us to take the trouble
and the profit of managing our af
tair.-i off our hands. Suppose that
many are disfranchised, we still can
put down th'- Radical plotters. Nay,
i if we are disfranchised, if we arc prit
| dent and just, we can beat th- so pl«r
--j ut» even before an unmixid colored
I constituency It.thero were none but
I ncaro votes in the city and county ol
Mobile, we would w.rger any Sui. that
wiicoutd name a lun-lred Southern
gentlemen of wdl known character in
I the county, win could beat either one
of the and ank e firm that is now dividing
-mt tho offices fur itself, hi prospect,
for any public office.
It is a plain and obvious doty, and
one t" which every good citizen sh.ul i
address hiiuse'f, to advise with the
colored man as to their interests and
duties in tln-ir new, responsible, and to
them perilous position. They have
; one Radioing interest in ooimiiun with
i the whiles—it is he interest of peace
and gnnd understandingbetween them.
It is this that the plotters are laboring
to disiu b. They are tr\ ini. to stir ap
| bad blood between the black* and
| their t-annrr masters, to make them
i believe that they are naturally enc>
I mics, and that the colored man can
j only he assured of his rights and n*. w
privileges by taking these plotters far
their advisers and guides. The argu*
ment against tho truth of this can be
made irresistible to the dullest colored
comprehension.* It is naufral that
they should trust the people whom
they have known all their Itv*s rather
than strangers, who have come all the
way from New England, notninsly to
protect their interests, but in reality to
make money out of them, and use
them -is tools for their own advance
ment.
The black men are Southerners as
well as the whites. Under the new
law they are to enjoy political equali
ty with them. Both races, t<%-are
under the same military law, for when
Congress put the whites under it, Con
gress did not except the blacks
What is there then to seperate them
and drii e the blacks into ? Northern
party ? If we have pe; ee, order, and
sccu ity to life and property, the black
n a i enjoys it a* well as the whites.
If we have strife and bad blood and
disorder, both races suffer by it, aod
if it should come to a war ot races, no r
thing is more certain than that when
blond began to flow the instincts of the
white race North and South would
unite them on one side.
These Yankee radical teachers and
prrswher* are, therefore, the worst cn.
cmies of the negroes They are sepa
rating them from their longest and
most trusted counsellors and advisers
They are cultivating in them u spirit
of distrust and discontent and hate,
utterly tvithot t foundation, and eer
tain to result in unhappiness and dan
ger to them. If our city colored men
were wise, instead of listening to the
voices of these croakers of evil and
dangerous guides, they would kick
lietn out of their meetings as they de
serve
These views of obvious common
sense must prevail on reflection. Just
now the public mind is excited and
flurried, and tto many, alas ? are frigh
tened out of their rea-orj and judg
ment. Lei us wait for a calm, keep
cool, and do nothing rashly. If we
can only keep the timid and the sel.
fish among the wh tes from commit
ting mischief, we shall have no dffi
culty in making the blacks see where
their interests lie. Courage, then and
faith, and beyond everything, common
sense.— Mobile Register !f Advertiser.
“ The Coming Man.”
We ate indebted tn the New York
correspondent of the Charleston Cour
ier for the following sketch of the
“ eoruing man.’’ who is to play the role
of Cmtar or Napoleon, aid trample the
Republic under his Iron heel, and
rear an Empire on Its runs :
Congressman Brooks, of this city,
in his recent speech in the House ofi
the in: peach ment question, took occa
sion to predict that alt r the Radicals
shall have reduced our political sysi
tem to chaos and anarchy, some-Caesar
or Napoleon will arise an J trample the
Republic under hi- iron r cel. Avery
natural curiosity exists as to the iden
tical individual who i* to rear an Em
pire on the ruins of our institutions.
Mho is the ‘-coming man?’ Os
course lie must be alive apd as; iriug
at the present moment, and there are
numcrim- placemen, politicians, and

like to know him, so us to attach them,
seU es in time to the tail of his kite.
Os course he iu :st have a combination
of all those rare qualities whioh iu-uri
ed success to Caesar and the two Bo
naparte*.
It s patent that Grant does not ar
swer the requirements, lie is by no
means a great man though eircum
stri ces towards the close of the war
made him a successful soldier Nei
ther d-» Sherman, Stanton, Thad Ste
vens, or Ben Made come up to the
mark. Sherman is eccentric, and
does npt possess the confidence of hi*
brother officers. Sianton is a man of
mighty power, but thoroughly listed
all over the country. The others
make up in violence and malignity
what they lack in ability. A. M’es
tern friend of mine imagines he sees
the ‘-coming man” in General John A.
Logan, now the loading Radical in the
great State"of Illinois. Logan has all
the ‘‘points” fora first class Amerban
Caesar, lie is politic when it suits
the times; ho is violent when fury
rules the the hour. He is a splendid
soldier. He is the most impashioned
orator in the Northwest, lie has
great ujentul strength, unflagging en
ergy and unbounded ambition. He
has just entered Congress as the Uep
resentat ve at largo of the State of Il
linois.
Before the war, when Democracy
was i-ii the ascendant, was an ar
dent Democrat, and quite as pro-sla.
very as Piekmson, Butler or Fornejt.
lie jumped in with the ride and led
a Union regiment to the war. He
has been making spceehi s in Connec.
ttcht for the Radical ticket, and ha*
been -Jvocating the enlYanchisemcnt.
of negroes (in tiie South only ) the
dis rancliisemont of whites, the con
fiscation of “r, beU* property, the
smashing of the Supreme Court, the
impeachnnyit of President Johnson,
and tho immediate hanging of Jeffer
s-n Davis. He is working like a boa
'er lor the Radical nomination for the
P esideney, and he may be Mr.
Brooks’ future Emperor, Who knows
I beg all politicians and "uncon lit ion •
i-l loyalists’ to watch Jack Logan,
and it possible, get on to the tail of
his kue. lie will have Dukes and
Count*, and Knight* tn make, i t>d
