Another $pa»m of the Democracy. The action of the Legislature during the Ferhaps no political party, within the range brief newton, has been in keeping with the of the memory of man, was ever in so great proposition, now well understood even by the destitution as is the present sham Democracy Opposition in Georgia, that the existing State j of the United States. To say that it is in sad Government is merely Provisional. The ut- need of repairs, does not convey the idea, most harmony has prevailed among the mem- For it retains nothing of its former self, not -hers of the ltepubiican party. WidtItepabli- oven its leaders; whilst its principles, having cans, there has never been any division of sen- been antiquated by the events of the last timent touching the wisdom and justice of the twelve years, are remembered only in connec- rccommendations of the Executive; and we I tion with the history of past political contests, congratulate our ltepubiican friends of both Ilonaes, upon their harmonious action on al the recommendations of the Governor, and upon their unqualified endorsement of Ins pol- icy. The action of the body in ordering Ur. An- gier to poy nil warrants drawn by the Governor nml conntorsighed hy the Comptroller Gen eral, is a fitting and timely rebukethat offi cial, who has sought to bring discredit upon the Administration and to impair public \ cop - fidence in order to bring himself promii^ntly before the world as a politician. And now thbat the Republicans of Georgia, through their representatives in the General Assembly hare so folly endorsed the actiGh of Got. Bollock; now that they have 40 signally, reboked Ur. Angier and the other bolters of desperate political fortunes; so unanimously endorsed end carried ont all the recompienda- tions of the Executive and of the’District Commander; and so folly committed them selves to the proposition that the prese nt State, Government is merely provisional, deriving its Authority not from the State Constitation, bat from the Reconstruction acts of Congress— in view of these facts, we Hope Congress will hesitate no longer in regard to the course proper to pnrsao with reference to Georgia. The Cessna bill, or tho bill introduced hy Ur. Payne, of Wisconsin, furnishes a bests tor compromise on this question that would be wide, enough for all Republicans, and one that would be satisfactory to nine-tenths of the substantial men of the State, irrespective of tarty; and we hope that one of those measures may bo promptly adopted by Congress, and tlurt tho State may be admitted to representa tion. The Picayune Pension. A pension of three thousand dollars for Mrs. Lincoln is recommended by a Committee of Congress, and it is about the smallest piece of economy in which a great nation ever indulged. Mr. Lincoln was assassinated beeanso of the position which ho held as President, and bis widow is offered three thousand dollars as a pension. Whenja private soldier is killed in the service his wife is pensioned upon a proportion of the rote of pay which the soldier received, and under this rule, tho widow of the Chief should receive at least a proportionate rate of the salary paid her husband. An officer who is wounded while in action is allowed hy law to retire upon the toll pay of the rank of the command he held at the time of receiving'the wound. Thus tho officer's family are provided for—but the Commander in Chief who is strnek down holding the high est rank and commantl is remembered only in this pioaynne pittance to his widow. Verily “ republics art ungrateful.” The Architecture of Public Ilallai^u Since tho tumbling down of the floor of the Court Room,in Capitol building at Richmond, Va., resulting in a great lose of life and in drafting the whole ity discovered, by a committee of architects, that the building is insecure, and hence the Legis lature is now holding its sessions in the Ex change Hotel. . We presume the committee of architects, to whom the question was referred, found little difficulty in arriving at the conclusion that the building was funsafe, in the presence of the mourning and distress occasioned by the acci dent referred to. It ought to be an easy mat ter tor a board of physician, to decide that a patient is of nneonnd constitution, after he shall have died of gout or rheumatism; never theless, if such discovery should lead to the practice of those hygenic principles which men are in the daily habit of ignoring, the discovery, though late, may not be without its uses. And now that the architectural craft have succeeded in awaking an interest in the subject, it might not be unreasonable to sug gest that they apply their skill to the investi gation of other public buildings, not only in Richmond bat elsewhere, whose insecurity have not yet been demonstrated in so marked and are now repudiated even by the party itself in many of the States. The older lead ers of the party—men who give it power and prestige in the pest decade—saw the funeral of their hopes in the issue of a war that origi nated in a scheme for the propagation of Democratic principles. They have therefore abandoned the field in hopeless despair, to dwell upon the memories of deported great ness. Those who now claim leadership in the .party,, are generally young men, who reflect dhe senfemgnts of thfr Pa^ act from mere im- ,pulse, and shape their career in obedience to those prejudices and animosities whieh.com the political destruction* of their Gamaliels- Under this state q£laefs, the “Democracy” is at sea, without compass or rudder. Tie leader.'are ready to run a tilt against every thing, but very careful to propose nothing. And, since no political party can long exist without having at least some ostensible issue- some political basis or theoretical-dogma—to rest upon, the chiif concern of'tho more able and thoughtful leaders of the organization now is, to spring on issue as a nucleus for-a* new party”—one that is to rise from the rains of the old one, and bridge over the diffi culties to place and to plunder. Various expedients*have been tried, be ginning with the Bread and Butter Conven tion at Philadelphia i»1866, and ending with the Seymour and Blair manifesto of 18G8. The XVtlr Amendment has now ceased to be a bone of contention; and the party that opposed Im partial Suffrage, is already scheming to win the votes of those whom it erewhile tried to keep from tho Ballot To blind the eyes of the simple, to raise a dost wherewith to cover op from pnlrlie view the blunders and enormities of a post Record,’ and thereby secure a share of tho colored vote, and at the same time retain the former adherents of the former Democracy, is their chief concern. How shall this be done? That is the question. Among tho latest expedients proposed, originated in a Convention of editors in Washington City, who were evidently used os decoys by the Democracy of Ohio and Penn sylvania for the purpose oi springing an issue upon the Republican party. These editorial gentlemen were flattered and complimented by the leaders of tho Democracy, and return ing to their homes, in a high state of satisfoc- ' lion with themselves, forthwith began to de velop and bring into bold relief their hobby of £reo Trade, around which the disciples of the prospective “new party” were to rally. This movement promises well. Democrats know that it will not take a single man from tho Democratic fold, whilst it gives promise of defection tunODg or certain class of Western Republicans, whose minds have become deeply prejudiced agoihst the manufactnring interests of the Eastern States. The scheme was all the more plausible in view of the fact that the manufacturing interests of the South had not yet been developed, and that, consequently. era Dtmocrocyr uonld swallow the 'halt avidity—thns not only jhrosclytrng Western Republicans, bnt cementing the discordant factions of the Southern and Northern Democ racy. This scheme, like that of Andy Johnson in 1866, or that of Fmnk Blair in 1868, will fail utterly. Bnt tbo attempt will be made; and in some localities, it may injure the Republi can rarty temporarily. When, however, it is discovered to be only a stimulant, designed to protect the impending dissolution of the De mocracy, the people will drop it with all pos sible haste, and the editorial gentlemen who now seem inclined ta walk into the net, will make equal haste to deny or explain away their connection with a scheme which will become as unpopular ns that of Andy Johnson in 1866, and ont of which both Mr. Beecher and Mr. Raymond found it necessary to explain without delay 1 The Yunus Man oftlir Name of Ilnngrr- fonl Who, under the pressure of an over-bnrthened conscience, relieved himself at a cost to the State of oightecn dollars per head for himself and colleagues, is doubtless os much surpris ed as was the tabled bine bottle at finding how little he is appreciated hy the Democracy. It (tho "Democracy”) seems to think that it pos sesses a much abler champion in the person of Aaron Alpeoria B., and henee seems indisposed to make room for the young man of the name of Hnngcrford 1 Dickens’ young man of the name of Gnppy. who exhibited, with such marked success, his assenine qualities in the ease of Janndyce vs. Janndyee, did. not more signally toil in bis ad dresses to the harass expectant, than did our young gentlemen of the name of Hnngerford in his two days wooing of that the cheapest of all political harlots, the modem Democracy. Alas poor Hnngerford! Democracy and Education. The tenacity with which the Democracy hold on to their stale prejudices against Popu lar Education is surprising. The Knoxville Whig (a Democratic paper) of the Sd says: A gentleman from a distant State, just after onr present Legislature convened, wrote us a letter with regard to East Tennessee, express ing an earnest desire to moke it his home, ns he was satisfied, from all accounts, that we had the finest climate in the world. We heard nothing more from him until the intelli gence reached him, through tbo press, that the General Assembly hod virtually ignored the great question of education. Whereupon he wrote again, and remarked that he would live in no State, North or Sooth, East or West, that attached so little importance to this im perishable work- Considering the tact that the present Legis lation of Tennesace is loyally Democratic, these statements require no comment Women as Congressmen. Perhaps it should have been written Con- gnmneotnen. Being asked one day “how could women with half a dozen habiea go to Con gross” Mrs. Stanton replied; ••In most Congressional districts there might be found one woman without such appendages. In every community there are large numbers of old maids, (generally the most intelligent class), widows^ and women past the age of forty-five, who have ceased bearing children. Few men come into public life before that age, and it would be better for the country if fewer still were permitted to make laws for tho na tion until years and experience had given them " Themarried ladies present accepted this as j a “left handed compliment,” but Mrs. Stanton instance, where the raw material ts raised in great abundance, and where the facilities for successful manufacture ore unsurpassed, ought to be able to compete with a cotton mill in Eastern Tennessee, where the raw material is not raised, and where ttys natural facilities for manufacture are no better. And if able to 1 pete with the Tennessee factory, how much more ought it to be able to compete with one in Massachusetts? It is therefore safe to assume that with us manufactories are only a question of time. The period is not far distant, when the manu facturing interests of Georgia will equal, if not exceed, those of any State in the Union; and, in view of these facta, the efforts on the port of the Democracy to army the Southern people against a policy looking to the protection of American Manufactures, are ridiculously ab surd. Oor. Bollock and the Chargei Against Illm. If Gov. Bollock is innocent of the charges against him, we would be as ready to cheer fully acknowledge it, as any. No white-wash ing by a committee of his friends can do him good, and an honorable man would not resort to any method of vindication that did not edrry unanswerable conviction of hjs inno cence. At the same time a verdict of guilty at the hands of a partisan committee of the op position, would bear grave doubts of its ac- tliis state of facts, we do think that due to Gov. Bollock and hisaccn- a committee of men outside of the should be selected to look into agaist him. It is the only way in which a verdict con be of any value. Let men be picked of undoubted integrity, high position, aiWl thorough impartiality. We urge this as justVo all, and particularly to Gov. Bullock. A Thus speaks the Bryant Organ of yesterday morning; this too, notwithstanding that in the same edition it announces the fact that a Committee had been appointed to investigate the charges against the Governor. The Biyant Organ says: “ Let men bo picked of undoubted integrity, high position, and thorough impartiality.” Now, we ask the plain question, do these Bryautites intend to impugn the integrity, Ac., of Judge Harris, General Bethune, Senator Nunnally, Dr. Bell, CoL Shumate, Senator •Fain, CoL Price, or Mr. Darnell? Here is tho Committee—four Democrats and four Republicans—all men of high character, undoubted integrity, and therefore men who will report only according to the facts. Now let all slander mongers, all political skunks who have been poisoning even the air with their .filth, present any and all charges they may have or may hear of, that reflect against the Governor, to this Committe, with the evidence. As there is now a legitimate vent for this foul clamor, it Is hoped that the shys ters who hav^ been ringing tho changes on charges against the Governor” will either prove up or shut up! Democracy and the Tariff Reform— Atti tude of Southern Capital!*!*. The Tariff Reform is being eagerly seized I upon by the Democracy as a rallying point in this its advanced stage of dissolution. The Northern Democracy now, as in 18G0, and for a quarter of a century ptevions, devise cun ning appeals to the Southern Agriculturalist in behalf of the old Democratic hobby ofl Free Trade. And this appeal is made from tho same motives, and, in some instances, nlj most identically in tho same words, as were those of 1840 and 1844. These Democratic politicians seem to lose sight of tiie fact that the South is no longer deterred by her peculiar System of Labor from successful competition with the East ini the manufactures. They seem not to know that Southern capitalists, no longer finding a profitable investment in negroes, arc now earnestly turning their attention to man ufactures, and that the same laws necessary to protect the manufacturer of New England, are equally necessary for the protection of the Southern capitalist who may invest his means in a cotton factory.! There is indeed something strikingly absurd in the proposition that the Southern people can better afford to devote their attention ex clusively to tbe production of the raw material, ship this material to Northern merchants, and then, in turn, buy their fabrics from Nothern manufacturers, than to so diversify their labor as to havo the material worked up in their own section, purchase their fabrics from their own manufacturers, ship the surplus to Northern markets, and then compete with Factories that pay the cost of transportation of the raw mate rial across the entire continent There is certainly no good reason, under our new system of labor, why the South should hot be able to manufacture the raw material aa cheaply as it is done in New England. The facilities for cheap manufacture in Georgia, for instance, ought to be as good as in chnsetts, since we now have the some system of free labor, and oUV natural resources are ac knowledged to be better. Nay, we insist fur ther that, in view of our mild climate, where the rigors of winter are seldom known, and where we have at least three more months in the year adapted to agricultural pursuits than in tl?o sterile latitude of New England, and consequently where living is less expensive, labor ought to be cheaper here than there. Add to these natural advantages, the fact that the margin of transportation 'of the raw ma terial from the South to tho North, would be saved to the Southern manufacturer, and the absurdity of laiinfj tho facilities of Southern lanufacturors* inferior to those of the North, re strikingly apparent. “One Man Powrr^ The Macon Journal, which is a clever sort of Democratic paper, insists that Georgia is under the “Qne Man Power.” Mr. Calhoun said the same of the peoplo of the United States, in 1833; nevertheless, history honors the memory of Jaoxson while it execrates the political heresies of the great Nullifier. There was a sure enough “Quo Man Power” in-the Southern States between the years 1862 and 1864; but that was anterior to the down fall of the thing called “ Democracy,” and all right! Thera waa also a “One WSrS 1865, when Andy9§Sso^ (ated a Constitution and form of Government number of Democratic politicians —then assembled at Millcdgevillc; bnt that was also ‘Democratic” in its instincts, and hence, tol erable! Bnt when Congress, as the law mak ing power of the nation, undertakes to enforce its laws in Georgia, nml in doing so, finds that the persistent opposition of bankrupt politicians of the late Democratic party, render it necessary to call in the aid the military (os Andy Johnson did), why that is very wrong ; it is wrong because, and only because, it is a Republican Congress, and not a faithless President or a Democratic Dictator! Very much therefore, seems to depend upon the rature of the stand-point from which we view the 4 One Alan Power.” When that “one man” happens to be the willing instrument of a Democratic mob, or of a vigilance committee; or when he derives his authority in virtue of the ukAso of a set of bankrupt politicians, whose lease of power is contingent upon the perpetu ity of strife and unscttlcmcnt, it is thoroughly orthodox. Even Imperialism would be a pop ular Lobby with the unreconstructed “Democ racy,” provided some “one man” who bore al- legionoe to the thing called “Democracy*' could be permitted to don the purple! Sheriff IWorirl*. We regret to learn t ant J. C. Norris, Sheriff of Warren county, who was elected by the Re publicans in April 1868—was nearly killed and driven out of the county by the Kn Klnx in the winter of 1868-18G9, and restored to his office in the spring of 1869 by General Terry— has fallen before the allurement* of “Demo cratic” pelf. It seems that great efforts have been made by the guilty parties in Warren county who were known by Sheriff Norris as being con cerned in the assassination of Dr. Darden, Senator Adkins and others, to avoid arrest, and they have at last succeeded in bribing Norris. The moment this was discovered by the authorities, Norris was arrested; and he will be severely dealt with, and the parties who have so liberally paid ont their money need not fancy themselves secure from arrest They are liable to punishment not only for their post offenses, but for this later and gravo one of bribing an officer to prevent him from the discharge of his duty. While we dislike Norris for his infamous course, we have only contempt for those who, failing to control him by intimidation, sought and succeeded in overcoming him by purchase. would no! explain.* A Cotton Factory, in Middle Georgia, for finery.

Tuesday morning an affray occurred in Clin ton, Anderson county, which will, probably, result in the death of one of the participants. It appears that Wm. L. Brooks and Capt. Ray met and renewed an old quarrel, which existed between them. As we learn the facts, Brooks, after a few words, shot Ray, the ball penetrat ing the abdomen and passing out on the hip. Brooks was arrested and committed to await the result of his victim’s injuries. Ray received medical attendance, but his wound is thought to be a mortal one.—Knoxville Press and Her ald, Ath.

Discourses thusly: One of the absurdities of “reconstruction,” as supported by the Bullock party in Georgia, the proposition that tho present Legislature, ing “provisional” only, cannot transact gen eral legislation, bnt may pass the Tax and Ap- i iropnation bills, and then adjourn. This dis tinction is entirely too finely drawn to be ap- >reciable to the judgment of men, however : avorably it may impress those who have party schemes to carry out or private interests to subserve. The taxation of the people and the expenditure of their money are among the most- important acts of legislation. To say that a Legislature which can do this cannot incorporates town or afford “relief” to an in dividual, is an absurdity too glaring to need argument for its exposure. [This affectation of ignorance of the true political status of Georgia, and of the legal status of the Georgia Legislature, is rendered all the more redicnlous by the following from the same paper; -<• It is the province of the power that establishes a 41 ‘provisional” government to define its au thority or duty. Has the present Government of Georgia been established by Congress, or does it derive its powers from the peoplo of the State ? It is unquestionably true that the elec tion of 1868 was a farce, so for as freedom and fairness was concerned. Was it also intended to be a mockery or a farce in all its plots and acts ? Did Congress permit the people to elect a Legislature, that it might carry ont only the wishes of Congress or the commands of a military ruler, and not those of the people of Georgia? Is the Constitution of the State to be entirely ignored in defining its powers? [Three grains of common sense ought to enable any man to comprehend that, since the present government is provisional, it derives its authority from the acts of Congress as execu ted by the District Commander.
