THE SEMI-WEEKLY EXPRESS JAti. WA1 V F HARRIS nntl SAMXti. Editors and Proi>rii:toj;*. r « m m. ■»■ cahtehsville, <ja., Men. s tn, Sri. Senator Miller. VS-”e are glad to see that this gentle man has at last been permitted to take bis scat in United States Senate, after the great at possible delay, and most irritating postponement of his case. This tardy acknowledgment of his right to his Beat, can now do but little good, only so far as it goes to complete the representation of the State in the Senate, and to perfect Re construction. The time for which he was elected, expires on the 4th of March, and .any service, which by his eminent talent ard acknowledged abil ity, he might have been able to confer upon the country aud the State whose Representative he is, has necessarily been negatived by the course which the Senate has seen proper to pursue. It has been the settled policy ol the Radicals at Washington, to exclude, eycn to the denial of all right, any man from the South, from the Na tional Councils, who was opposed to their policy, although had every one been admitted, the majority would still have been very largely in their hands. It could not, therefore, be because of any fear that the passage of any measure of Radical policy could be seriously obstructed, or at all hinder ed, and surely not because of any per sonal, individual objection to the claimants of seats, in either House; es pecially this could not have been in the case of Ur. Miller. Rut they have, all along, determined to carry out their policy of misrule, and dressed with what we hope will prove “a little brief authority,” have resolved that that policy should have as little opposition as possible, in the matter of legisla tion. They could not, of course, ex clude from their seats, Democratic members from the North, but they did not desire that this small band of de fenders of the Constitution should re ceive any recruits to their ranks, from that very section of the country which it was their intention despotically to rule for political effort. It was, we believe, no principle of justice, no at tachment to the interests of the people of the States, no devotion to Constitu tional Government, no vindication of the Union itself, or the principles up on which it was founded, but a blind and w't’U'nl and settled determination, at all hazards, and by this, as well as Uv ail jafeyW.ißfL the lticians. It may be they may have had some attachment to the policies which they have avowed, but it was more for the sake of the .power which they might retain, than from any at tachment to any principle declared— the success of the office-holders and of the party, for the sake of the plunder, and not the triumph of right or the good of the land. Who can doubt that had Hill and Miller been made of such ma terial as that, they would Jhave blindly sustained and upheld all Radical en croachments upon the rights of the people of the South, vile and profli gate political aspirants, without name or ability or honor, but devoted to Grant, servile followers of Morton, and Wilson, and Butler, “base and vile in struments,” “from whose vulgar string no Voice of integrity or honesty could speak,” who can, or who does doubt that, long ago, without one dissenting voice, they would have been received ■with all the honors into the hall of the Senate ? But these distinguished men are gentlemen, and however they may be denominated Republicans are nevertheless Southerners and Southern patriots, men of character and men of ability, and therefore fit to be exclu ded from the councils of the country. It would not Id to allow men of mark, of character, of talent mid command ing' eloquence, and that too. from the South, a place upon the floor of that chamber, who could, and who would defend the right, who could and who would do justice to a traduced and vil ified people; who could not only de fend our fair fame, and put that de fence upon the h istorical public records of the nation, but who could tell them of their wrongs, of their duplicity, of their invasions of the Constitution, their insensate, yet methodical attacks upon the liberties of all the people, and the very form and design of the Government itself, and who would have the courage, then and there, to do it. We have always thought that this was a prevailing reason for the exclusion of Southern Statesmen from Congress halls. \ iUaiuy hates expos ure, and dreads to be uncloaked. The ease of Dr. Miller, was clear, so clear that ho did not have, and could not have any respectable opposition, or fear of its final determination, if jus tice wts done him, and so they knew, and so they felt the country know; and so to deprive him of his place as fur its might be, and sq deny Georgia her Representation in her sovereign capacity, the policy of delay has been adopted, and his case prolonged, and putt off, and putt off, until at last, just at the very close of the session, and of his term of office, a right has been ac corded which is no clearer now, that the vote has been taken, than it was the day that his election was announc ed at Atlanta. We should have re joiced could he have been seated at an earlier period, that at least the coun try might know, that if Toombs and Stephens and Johnson, are ostracised from the councils of the people, yet that we have still in our midst, men of the same stamp of virtuous character, the same commanding talents and lofty-eloquence. The Senator has taken his seat, but he will hardly have made it warm, be fore ho shall be compelled, by opera tion of law, to vacate it. Trumbull’s Resolution to allow them their per diem and compensation from the date of their election, in 1868, we suppose will pass,- and we hope it will, and believe it ought. We trust that we are now about to see better days, for with a Representation at the Na tional Capitol, which shall, from all the South, properly set forth and declare and defend her name, her rights and her policy as an integral part of this Government, we have groat confidence that it will go very far towards affect ing legislation at Washington, and have not a shadow of*doubt but that it will be for the public good. Editorial Miscellany. The Enforcement Bill. —A telegram in the Baltimore Sun says, the bill ap plies, as it now stands, to 17 cities, though one member of the] Judiciary Committee maintained that if any exi gency aroso, the act could be constru ed to cover every town ship in the land. A member of the Temperance Socie ty, in Huntsville, Ala., has the "pass word,” but, somehow or other, rt the wrong smell.” Dr. Hall tells the story of a Scotch man, who sung most piously the Hymn, “Were the whole realm of nature mine That were a present far too small.” and all through the singing was fum bling in his pockets to make sure of the smallest piece of silver for the con tribution box. The annual contributions to mission ary operations, in all the Protestant churches, amount to about $5,000,000. | A great fire occurred in Dawson, on j Wednesday night last, originating in i Aww'rmcrrny OfrTlisu rance Cos. An extensive and destructive fire took place in Savannah, on Wednes day night last, in the rear of Bell & Hull’s auction room. Several build ings with large stocks of goods were burned. Loss, $500,000; for the most part insured. Levy & Tinsley, Jewellers at Cov ington, had their iron safe broken in to, and $2,500 worth of gold and silver watches and jewelry taken. King Amadeus cairied with him to Spain 90 dogs. Americus has a population of six thousand. W. A. Refo, a printer of Augusta, died theje last Thursday. The Southern Pacific Railroad Bill passed the House, and will doubtless pass the Senate. It runs from El Pa so, in Texas, to San Diego, Oal. It has a grant of ten alternate sections, for every mile on each side of the road in California, and twenty alternate sec tions to the mile on each side of the road, in New Mexico and Arizona, making in all about 20,000,000 of acres The road will be commenced as soon as the bill becomes a law. The treaty of peace between France and Prussia has been signed. France pays to Germany three hundred and twenty million thalers. Alsace and Lorraine, including Metz and Nancy are ceded. The German troops will not enter Paris. .The Emperor Wil liam was to leave for Berlin on the Ist March. Paris is quiet. An Ohio woman advertises for a hus band. "Money no object, must be healthy and willing to work.” The McDuffie Journal, Mrs. W. H. Royal, Proprietress, and C. S. Du Bose, Editor, published at Thomson, comes to us, to day, among our exchanges— a new paper and promises well. A man, by the name of Rob£. Fos ter, on the 10:15 Friday night train of the W. & A. R. R, fell from the plat form, and was run over by one of the cars, mutilating dreadfully both of his legs. A lady, a few miles above Marietta was run over by a down freight and instantly killed. Hydrophobia is prevailing in South Nashville. A Mis. Ross has been elected to suc ceed Judge Woodward in the board of directors of the Wyoming National Bank, Pa. The California State Medical Society refuses to admit females. Mrs. Dr. Cook, of Buffalo, makes by her medical practice, $9,000 per an num. Ex-Gov. C. J. Jenkins is President of the Merchant’s and Planter’s Na- j tional Bank, at Augusta, 3a. Live Beaver.— A man, named Vi atson, wag carrying one around in his arms, yesterday. He caught it in a steel trap, near Clapp’s Factor}’, on the previous night. It was the first live specimen we ever saw. The price asked for the pet w as $5. 00. [Columbus Enquirer. A pious negro actually prayed, “Lord, grant that whiskey and tobac co may be cheap, and the chicken roost on the low limbs.” The next Agricultural Convention, it has been decided, wfill be held in Rome, at the call of the President. The State Annual Agricultural Fair will be held at Macon. Trumbull offered a resolution to pay Hill and Miller from the date of their elections, in 1868, and compensation; Whitely and Farrow from the date of their election until the Senate declared against them. If we attend carefully to our duty, and keep both beams and motes out of our own e} es, those of others will not seriously trouble us. Stealthy Movements of the Rnd- Icals-TheNew Enforcement Bill. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette: Those who have watched closely the stealthy movements of the Radicals, need not be told that a civil war will be risked rather than power surrendered at the behest of the ballot box. The en croachments of Congress and the Ex ecutive move steadily along. The new Enforcement bill, which has just pass ed the House, is but another of a series of measures designed to drive the peo ple to extremes. With a fourth of the real legal voters of the country, the revolutionary leaders think they can perpetuate their rule; and unless the people display more concern and earn estness than they have for the past six years, the programme must undoubt edly succeed, for a time at least—per haps for the next decade. Whatever may be thought or said to the contrary, it will appear plain enough when an impartial historian shall have written the origin of the war of 1861—’65. that the hostilities were premeditated and forced by the Radi cal leaders. It is notorious that, for this express purpose, Mr. Seward was thrown overboard at the Chicago Con vention in 1860, and a man of “more nerve' ’ selected in his stead. Then, as —ViiGir; as" now; the principle of foTce was insisted upon, in the outset, as the only panaca for differences of opinion !in a Government founded expressly upon the consent of the governed.— Virginia (the “border States” agreeing with her) had just decided against se cession by 60 000 majority, when “the man of nerve” called for 75,000 troops, with which to invade her soil. The Radical leaders now intend to exclude the Southern vote, enmasee, if need be, under the cry of Ku-Klux, and as many Northern electoral votes as shall suffice their purposes, on the plea of frauds in the elections—especially in large Democratic cities. The plot is perfect. Such desper ate Robespierres, Dan tons and Murats as Morton, Chandler and Butler have been given the reins undisguisedly, and with appearantly almost the uni versal consent of the Radical party in Congress. Senator Blair tombed in directly these points, in his great speech, with a significance that the country had better pay some little at tention to. The short turn of the Ad ministration on the Alabama question, may here find a solution. It is utter ly impossible that a Government can be permanent, founded as it will prob ably be in a few years, upon the prin ciple of military force, and yet remain under the forms of Republicanism.— Let the people stand ready to meet the crisis when the mask is thrown aside. Amateur Editors.— Many of our public men are capital amateur edi tors. Thomas H. Benton was a valua ble and vigorous contributor to The Globe in the war upon the United States Bank. His style was tren chant and elevated, and his facts were generally impregnable. James Buch anan was a frequent writer in my old paper, the Lancaster Intelligencer & Journal, and in The Pennsylvanian.— His diction was cold and unsympa thetic, but clear, exact and condensed. His precise and elegant chirography was the delight of the compositors.— Stephen A. Douglas wrote little, but suggested much. His mind teemed with “points.'’ I never spent an hour with him which did not furnish me with new Ideas. He was a treasure to an editor, becau-se lie possessed the rare faculty of throwing now light up on every subject in the shortest possi ble time. Bx-Atiorney General J. S. Black would have made a superb journalist, and was a ready and useful contributor. His style is terse, fresh and scholarly. Caleb Cushing is an other statesman who dilighted in ed itorial writing, and still occasionally varies his professional toil by the same agreeable relaxation. I have known him to stand up at his tall desk, and dash off column after column on for eign and domestic politics, or art, or finance, with astonishing rapidity and case.— -Forncxjz Anecdotes.

Children under 12 yearn of age 5O Cents. PERFORMANCES AT 2 AND 7 O’CLOCK, P. M. of the Baltimore Gazette furnishes that paper a brief sketch of his observations at the grand saturnalia which took place in Washington City on Tuesday. The correspondent says: I visited to-day the various points of attraction of the Carnival, fi;om the be ginning to the end—that is to say, from First to Fifteenth streets, along the avenue—and I failed to see a sin gle diverting incident, except one: There is erected at the corner of the avenue and Sixth street, on each side, a rostrum, (the remains of the blown down arch.) One of these “rostrums” was specially reserved for His Excel lency. It was on the South side of the avenue. At precisely twelve o’clock the Pres ident and his suite appeared, and mounted the rickety staircase. Un derneath the improvised upper story and facing the National Hotel, was the likeness of old Sam. Johnson, da guerreotyped from a portrait of Sir Joshua Reynolds. He is painted with an enormous pair of spectacles, de signed perhaps, together with his ex tended arms and uplifted eye-brows, to indicate his utter surprise at what was going on. The design of the wicked artist, doubtless, was to por tray, at a glance, the aphorism of the great lexicographer, that a man who could be guilty of perpetrating a prac tical joke, would pick a pocket! His Excellency never moved a muscle un til the "gray mare,” belonging to one of the family, shot ahead. Mem—she won the last heat and the race. You bet on it Tight reins were signifi cant. Would that the whole world could have gazed upon this days pro ceedings. Ambition! Nero was not satisfied with the Government of Rome. He wanted to take the "rag off the bush” in all things. He wished to excel in running, driving, wrestling, fiddling and dancing, and even iD tricks of leg erdemain. “Here yon see it, and there you don’t.” The "goat” that won the race (or is to win it) is known to be owned eight months by cadet Grant. The successful footman (pitched along before the Carnival for his agility) will win the high prize on the mile trot. The same is the barber so much inquiry is made about as an appendage of the Executive Mansion. "See here,” said a man to me to-day, "do you think I intend to beat ?” He had superior entries of all kinds. ‘l’ll hold back,’ ho continued, ‘for something bigger.” Great heavens ! Have we come to this? Cannot a "Carnival” be held here without a finger of the Executive visible in the pie ? In the beginning of the hilarity, it will be remembered, I objected to dog fights. I knew well enough that "Hold On,” owned by "General” Dent, (which won the great match fight, just across the Potomac, against his antagonist, "Toe Nails,”) was bound to win, and didn’t like to sec any Northern countryman taken reluctantly ignored by the “commit tee.” _ The Palatka Herald thus de scribes one of the natural attractions of Florida: Silver Spring is one of the greatest curiosities in the South. It bursts forth in the midst of the most fertile country in the State. It bubles up in a basin near one hundred feet deep and about an acre in extent, and send ing from it a deep stream sixty to one hundred feet wide, and extending six or eight miles to the Ocklawaha river. In the spring itself, fifty boats may lie at anchor—quite a fleet. The spring thus forms a natural inland port, to which three steamers now run regular from the St. Johns, making close con nections with the ocean steamers at Palatka. The clearness of the water is truly wonderful. It seems even more transparent than air: you see the bottom, eighty feet below, the bot tom of yOur boat, the exact form of the smallest pebble, the online and color of the leaf that has sunk, and all the prismatic colors of the rainbow are reflected. Large fish swim iu it; eve ry scale visible, and every movement distincly seen. If you go over the spring in a boat you will see the fis sures in the rocks, from'which the riv er pours upward like an inverted eata aract.
