Thomasville, Georgia, Thursday, October “25, 1866. liupenrhnirht anil Removal of the l*resiient—Some l*lain. Talk ’ from • General* Steeilman. Gen. Steedman made a speech at Toledo, Ohio, .on Monda-y night last, from which we make the subjoined extracts. After showing that the Presi dent was carrying ‘ out the policy of Mr. Lincoln and of true restoration’of peace and Union, he proceeded : For doing that they propose to itu- * peach Andrew Johnson, and remove him from office, and put one of their own men in his place. Well, now.l don’t want to fight with anybody. I have had fighting enough myself, and I suppose you have. Still I have no objection to a little fighting if the men who did not fight in the la-st war, choose to have a little shindy among themselves. We will hold their hats ; but if they suppose that the American people will quietly look on while a fac tion deposes the President of the United States, and take possession of the Government with an armed mob, I say to them here that they are mis taken. [Cheers.] And they had better not attempt it. [Applause.] For while we do not want any trouble, while we prefer peace, not a painted peace, but a real bona fide peace-while we do not want to discuss war with anybody, if Mr. Ashley supposes that by coming here and throwing his head back hs he did in ISGI, and talking about war, ho is going to frighten any body, I say to him he is very much mistaken. [Ap. plause.] While wc do not want to fight, we will never permit them to or ganize armed mobs, start to Washing ton, and take possession of the Gov ernment, that they may telegraph all oyer the country that a loyal and patri otic Government has deposed Andrew Johnson. They won’t be permitted to do it [Cheers.] . The President is the Tribune.of the W’hole people, lie represents the whole people, and he is doing his duty faithfully and Constitutionally. lie is laboring to restore peace and harmony to the country, and to maintain the Government, as we ourselves con-tened we had left it when the war ended.— We hold that the Government has preserved it —that it needed no politi cal doctrine to be applied to it —that when the army was discharged the Union was preserved, (applause,) and all that was necessary was for loyal men to put the machinery of govern ment in motion. —These State govern ments in the South, that were obstruc ted by the presence of the military, were there, ready for the people to resume their work under them, and to put the machinery in motion, just as it was before the war, or else if that were not so, then indeed the war was a failure, then indeed the rebellion was a success. If the rebels succeeded in destroy ing the government of the States, the rebellion was a success, and the war was a failure, and every man here ought to have voted for the Chicago platform. Now, Ido not believe it is the intention of the people of this country—the masses who are follow ing the lead of these fiery men—to engage in any such unholy work as attempting to take possession of the Government. I know that distin guished Massachusetts General, Benja min F. Butler, [laughter,] says he is going to march from Massachusetts to Washington with his militia. Well, now, he didn’t hurt anybody during the war, and I have no idea that be will hurt anybody now. [Laughter ] It he marches, and there is any figlit ! ing going on, I will warrant you he will march in the rear of his column. [Laughter.] I have searched that gen tleman’s military record in vain to find a place where he led a column. He never did lead it any where. Perhaps he thinks, as be didn’t make any rep utation in the last war, it is necessary for him to get up another one, in order to redeem.himself. [Laughter.] No doubt General Butler had a good’ many fierce people to deal with during the war; no doubt he was provoked a good deal during his administration at New Orleans, and goaded to say a great many things that do not look well on paper. Ido not like to com ment on anything done by a Union General,, but I am bound to say . ■-” , t, throughout the war, that Gen t remarkable onlv for his sev u eral wa. - -*yu**rs <n Wb ~ erity to women ai.d children. [Cries* of 4< Spoons.”] He was very fierce to defenseless people. That required no courage.—People who were within our lines, and whose protectors were gone—he was very harsh to them. It is true, their protectors bad no right, to go, and they deserved, perhaps, all they got, but no brave man would take an advantage of that kind against women and children; and GenMlut ler is the only man that ever did it. I understand he complimented me in his speech to-day, He says he approves some things that I said. He approves of my proposition to give the negroes the ballot, who had fought, as well as I had. Well, I can’t return the com pliment about the fighting, for eve ry negro that I saw in the army fought better than Butler did. [Cheers] I was willing to aid negroes then, but I have never seen the time in my life when I preferred a negro to a white man, for any thing —[Applause.] I have never seen the time that I would have voted to give the negro S3OO bounty and the whitg man only SIOO. j The Bugbear of Contlscntiou. If the country id to believe all that certain Radical leaders threaten as to what they intend to do hereafter, there would certainly be just- cause for the greatest alarm and solicitude. In any event, the future, looks gloomy enough without our borrowing trouble —for we will not conceal from our readers that we have little hope of the Conserva. tives of the North being able to secure such gains in the Congressional eleci tions as to cripple Radical power for mischief. But there are certain meas ures, now held in terrorem oyer the oppressed and afflicted South, which cannot be made practical until every department of the government shall become demoralized and corrupt. — Among these measures is one that in our opinion may justly be characterized as a “ bugbear,’’ viz : General Con fiscation. It is true, the creat leader of the Radicals, Stevens, is the strenuous advocate of a law with this intent, and he may even be able,-at the next session of Congress, to rallay a greater number to its support than • could be brought to favor it at the Last Session; but we do not believe, and we have as yet seen no reason for be lieving, that he can carry a majority of his party with him. The scheme is s.o abhorrent in itself, and likely to en counter so many difficulties in its cxei cution, that if attempted to be put through Congress, and the attempt in all likelihood will be made, it must necessarily fail. But suppose the proposition should succeed, despite a - veto which it would un questionably provoke, it would still be far from accomplishing the purpose of its advocate. Before it could result in injury, it would have to undergo the scrutiny of the Courts, where there need be no serious apprehensions of its receiving’ favor. Such a law would not bear the test of judicial in vestigation. There is no provision in the constitution for the confiscation of the property of the oitizen by simple legislative enactment. —There must first be trial and conviction by the judicial tribunals before any criminal even the greatest, can be deprived of either life or possessions. As well might Congress direct that all rebels shall be hung, drawn and quartered without trial, as to attempt to confis cate their property without trial. The one proposition would be just as con* stitutional and legal as the other, and neither would receive the sanction of the courts. Besides the constitutional obstacle, which of itself would be fatal. to the success of any such scheme, there is the President’s proclamation of amnesty and pardon, which, accord ing to Stevens’ own admission in his Beford speech, restored to the owners nearly all the property made liable to confiscation by former acts of Con gress. There is no process by which the benefits of the President’s act can not be set aside except by impeach ing the legality of the pardon itself, and this would prove such an up-hill business that even fanaticism would shrink from the attempt. In the face of the express authority conferred on the President by Congress to do that very thing, Stevens would find his way for further impoverishing us ef fectually blocked. Thus it is perceived that whatever ground for alarm there may be as to the general designs and policy of the Radicals toward the peo ple of the South, there is really no cause for excitement arid dread on the score of confiscation. It is an appre hended evil which cannot befall us.- — It is but a skeleton scare crow which may frighten the timid without there being anything positively dangerous in it. Such at least is our deliberate opinion. Meantime, let us of the. South pursue the even tenor of Our way, respecting the Government and the laws, and the rights of all .classes, without regard to condition or oolor. Let us’ endeavor to build up the waste places and recuperate our shattered fortune. .In this way we shall put to silence the slanders of our enemies, maintain our own self-respect and se cure the approbation and sympathy of the just and good in all sections,— Tallahasce Floridian , Religious Excitement in Athens According to the Banner, a religious excitement exists in Athens, Ga., so mvt; nun a. *4 ‘x'JiPffi “J- ’ mt^perre great as to suspend the usual attention* to secular business. That paper, of Wednesday, says: “ Service is held morning and night every day in the Methodist Church, and the altar is thronged with mourn ers. Monday and yesterday the stores were closed and business generally suspended during the morning service at th.e request of the ministers. It is the most extraordinary awakening it lias ever been our privilege to witness-. “On Sunday about sixty persons joined the Methodist, fwentysix the Presbyterian and three the Baptist Church.” • . Internal Revenue Decision. —The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has made the following decision : “In the case of a tax being assessed for grading streets, etc.,, by a municipal corporation, under municipal or other public laws, and payment thereof is made compulsory, the tax payer is entitled to deduct the amount so paid in making a return of his income.” j llow 1111 iii ia Formed. The following short explanation will sho-w the philosophy of what within the past seven days has beep the most common ‘ local’’ occurence. 1. Were the atomphere, everwhere, at all times, at a uniform temperature, we should never have rain, or hail, ot snow. The water absorbed by its eva poration from the sea and the earth’s , surface, would descend ,in aii imper ceptible vapor, or cease to be absorbed by the a.ir when once fully saturated. 2. The absorbing power, of the at* mosphere, and consequently its capabih ity to retain humidity, is proportionally - greater in cold than in warm wealther. 3. The air near the surface of the earth, is warmer than in the reigion of the clouds; The higher we ascend from the earth,, the colder do wc find tire atmosphere. Hence the perpetual snow on thd very high mountains in the hottest climates.. Now, when from continual evaporation the air is highly saturated with vapor, though it be in visible and the sky cloudless, if its temperature is suddenly reduced by cold currents of air rushing from a higher to lower latitude, its capacity to retain moisture is diminished, clouds are formed, and the result is rain. Air Condenses as it cools, and like a sponge filled with water and compressed, pours out the water which its diminish ed capacity cannot contain. Public I.ami* in the Mouth —llounlf l.antl XVnrrautM. The Secretary of the Interior has •decided, in response to an inquiry form the Register and Receiver of New Orleans, that public lands in the South can neither be entered by purchasers for money or located with Land War rants. He pays that the only way in which lands can be acquired in those States, now, is by homestead, fer actu al settlement and cultivation, as provi ded by the act of Congress, approved 21st June, 18G6, and each claimant is thereby restricted to one-half quarter section, or 80 acres; the disposal of mineral lands, however, including iron and coal, remaining unaffected by the operation of said act. He decides that the only way such lauds can be obtained is under the ne gro homestead law, which excludes all who are unable to take the test oath. It seems our public lands arc specially devoted to the negroes, and that whites are to be excluded. The holders of land warrants can locate them in the Western States, but not here. —We have one system of land law for. the South and another for the North West. Misers in New York City.- The New York Citizen thus refers to a numerous class in the metropolis : It is not generally known that New York, at’ the present time, contains a large number of misers as inveterate and degraded as any on record, and if we had space we could give a series of portraits of wealth and avarice which would make the reader shudder. Many of these misers are old business men who have withdrawn from active life and still keep up their, faded and weather stained signs, and beneath the garb of trade ply their money saving habits. These men will be found sit ting solitary in dingy offices, filled with cobwebs and thick with the dust of years. Money borrowers know where to go, and here these pale and thread bare fossils receive the best securities fpr their daily loans. Some of these half starved wretches, whose trembling hands can hardly sign a cheek, can draw for sums. that would shake a bank. One of the richest men in the city is now to be found in just such a dihgy- hole as we have described, where he loans enormous sums daily. He was a- merchant oncej and his old sign is still up; and inside all things remain as they were half a century ago. He suffers daily for the comforts of life; but this is compensated for by the pleasure of accumulation. • “ They come to “me to beg,” said the-old man to an acquaintance, “and there’s'not’a beggar in-New York, that docs not. live as well as I -do”--a statement whiclf was quite, true. ‘■ • Two young carpenters, named re spectively Robert Brown and Thomas Jones, were very fond of dropping in totMr. Smith’s parlor, snd spending an hour or two with his only daughter, i4kyv. . when Brown ■\etr’ !iCor and Mary had discussed topic, Brown suddenly, in, his sweetest , tones, struck out as follows : “Do you think, Mary, you could leave father and mother, this pleasant home, and all its ease and comforts, and emigrate to the far West with a young carpenter, who has but little besides his strong hands to depend upon, and with him search out anew home, which it should be your joint duty to beautify, and make delightful and happy like this ?” Dropping her head softly on bis shoulders, she whispered : “I think I could, Robert.’’ “ Well,” said he, “there’s Tom Jones, who’s going to emigrate, and wants to get a wife; I’ll mention it to him.” . —— < - A lawyer is something of a carpenter. He can file a bill, split a hair, make an entry, get up a case frame an indictment, empanel a jury’ put them in a box, nail a witness, and tyammer a judge. YOL. YI.-No. 43. Tlmd. Stevens mid Hi* Policy Thad. Stevens made a speech at Lancaster, Pa., the 2. th ult. As tho acknowledged leader ot the Jacobins in tho House of Representative,, the views and opinions of this tincrupulous political miscreant are important, and foreshadow the policy which he is like ly to impose upon his party. lie.is.a bold, fearless, shrewd and able man, and possesses a force of character and determination which carries his party with him. • . It will bo seen that ho is o£ tho opinion that tho rebel States are now without legitimate governments, and that they oannot have them until Con gress passes an enabling act, such as he introduced, but which failed, at the last scsion of Congress, lie calls the present governments “ counterfeits put up by Andy Johnson. r In the govern, ments which he proposes, that they shall establish, h permits all classes to v6te —white as well as bliiok. —: When they have formed these govern ments, ivith the aid of negro votes, Congress may reject or receive them as States as it sees proper. . • In regard to negro suffrage, he says ; “ I am for it, and shall go for it whe-il Congress meets with all my might. 1 lie announces in-distinct terms that though the Southern States adopt tho constiutional amendments, and ex tends to tho negroes the right -ol suffrage, he will still be opposed to ■ their admission to the Union. This is genuine Jacobinism, and is a fair exhibition of the spirit by which Thad. Stevens and his party will be guided in their future legislation.—• Thank God that the next session of Congress is a short one, and if the full elections, result as we hope and believe they will, the country will be redeem-- ed from their iniquitous rule. In the French revolution, with tho guillotine in full operation, Thad. Ste vens would have been a Robespierre, Murat or a Dan ton, but.as be is in America, in the nineteenth century, he is —* Thad. Stevens. Louisville Courier. ■ . •- . . Men One Would Rather Not Meet. The Savannah Advertiser don’t, like to meet men who mix a saj ad better than any other men. Men who ask you to listen whilo • they read aloud something they havo written themselves. Men who tell- stories that run into one another, so that you find it very difficult to get-away at the end-of any of them. Men who have quarreled with all their relations; . Men who have been .betrayed and abandoned in the most heartbss man-- nef by all their friends. Men wh'o have been persecuted and swindled by a general conspiracy of everybody. . Men who imitate popular actors. Men who are.always asking, “Don’t you think so 2” Men who . are always a case.” . . . . • Men who agree with you too much. V Men “who feel impelled to join issue with you there.” • ;; . Influx of Population. The New York Times, noticing tho . fact that there were sold in New York the last week about 6,300 beeves and ‘26,000 sheep, making a -weekly con - sumption of nearly 10,000 animals more than usual, goes on to state that there is at.this time an unprecedented influx into the city of Southerners,, some with, pleasure in view, and some the design of rebuilding .in a moro favored region than their own that prosperity which was almost-destroyed by the war. Hotels, boarding houses, lodgings and every other refuge is full. There “are few houses to be rented or. tenements hired, in any quarter in New York, and even in the suburbs tho pressure is almost equally great. Brazil, South America.—lri 18- 53, Brazil had a population of-6,U65,-’ 000, with a standing army of 25,450, •a navy of 42 ships, mounting 301. guns. The total public debt amount ing to $59,481,600, being eight dollars and sixteen cents per head. ■ Extent of square miles 3,956,800.

The population of Rio Janeiro, the capital, 170,000. ‘ . ‘ -- The Congress that voted S2OOO ad ditional pay to “members,” also voted to reduce the pay of officers of the regular army. Before the war a Cap, tain’s pay was $l5O in gold, now it is only $l6O in paper, the XXXIX Con gress repealing the law that increased their pay during the war. Economy is the road to wealth. The Cleveland Plaindealer publishes a list of fifty-eight Federal Major Generals and one hundred and fifty three Brigadiers are supporting the President’s policy. It seems strange, says the Louisville Courier, that any Union soldier should be in favor of any other policy.
