- Be&= The J< urnul & Messenger appears
to hare a now editor, judging from the fol
lowing leader, which recently appeared in
its columns. We like the article because
it is sensible and practical. The former
editor, though quite an able writer, was so
extreme ultra, and impracticable in his
viows, that we could seldom use his articles
to a good advantage. We congratulate the
publishers on the change, and commend this
article to our readers :
We submit that all the discussion now
going on in the Democratic press of the
State over the effect of the recent decision
of the Supreme Court, so far as the Legis
lature and the expelled negro members
thereof, are concerned, is a simple waste
ot words. It can result in nothing prac
tical, and, therefore, is of doubtful propri
ety, to say the least. If the arguments ol
those who insist that the decision does not
touch the case of the negroes who were ex
-pelled last winter —they bolding that ques»
tion to be a res adjudicate. —could be made
a fact despite the decision, and the State
pot suffer threfrnm, why it would be a dif
ferent affair. But we all knowthe futility
of any such expectation. The negroes will
be reseated in the Legislature sume way
and anyhow—by voluntary act of each
body, or*by the command ot Congress and
at the point of the bayonot. This the Rad
ical party, so far as we tan judge of their
intentions, is resolved upon. It will be a
crime and an outr; ge. but what of that ?
They have perpetrated, and are perpetrao
ting greater every day. For all purposes
of practical resistance we are helpless. We
may threaten, and detain, and protest, but
they can act What’s the use, then, of ar
guing about it ?
On the other hand, we fail to see the util
ity of constantly proclaiming that the de
cision of the Court must be respected and
obeyed by the the Legislature, and that
their refusal to do so is positively wrong,
a-nd mischievous, and highly reprehensible,
and must lead to danger. The motives of
those who thus write are good, we concede,
but why furnish weapons for our assault
by the common adversary ? They will only
be too happy to dutch at Southern demon
stration of their own theories. They will
quote such argumont as proof that their
policy and declaration on a certain issue
lind supporters even among those who are
utterly opposed to their general principles
as a political organiz tion. We are sure
no good can be accomplished by such a
course on the part of any newspaper in the
State.
The true policy, it seems to us, is to ac
cept ths decision and say nothing more
about it. To argue the question only dis
tracts and divides the people, and makes
discord where there should be perfect uni
ty. But silence does not forbid action. —
Aye may hold just what opinion we please
as to its legality, but when it comes to
adopting a policy that will make it harm
less, there must and will not be any divis
ion. That we can extract the sting, we
are thoroughly persuaded. It may be galls
ing to bear, but it will not last long, nor
inflict any material damage. It can no
more bar the progress of the white man in
Georgia to unchecked domination in Georn
gia than did Canute’s words stop the waves
nf.t-ho nr»' s " ~ r - »»11 nvtWA <>nlir ~ JodM
iishea Tne supremacy and power oi-vmj
white race in this State, of dark days that
have passed forever. The decision
put a few negroes back in offices, and open
the doors to other, but it will be the emp
tiest and shortest-lived triumph a comipt
Judiciary ever decreed, or an inferior race
ever won against a superior. It is hardly
a practical question for to-diy, even, to say
nothing of five or ten years hence. We
hold Georgia now in a grasp that nothing
but the bayonet can shake. llow succeeds
ing years will strengthen that grip needs
no argument. If we are in such an im
pregnable position now, why invite the ins
terference of the bayonet? AVhy put back
the hand on the dial plate whan it is movs
ing so steadily to the hour of complete vic
tory ? The most favorable results tljpt can
possiby be expected will not compensate
for the risk.
Let us, then, treat the question as both
trivial and ephemeral, so far as practical
results are concerned ; as one that can no
more impede our march towards dominion
than did the presence of the fly stop the re
volving cart wheel. We can and will con
trol it easily. Ten years hence those who
are now distqjited will laugh at their fears.
They may see negroes holding office, then,
but they will know that they do so only in
under circumstances accep
table to thetkuling race. That will be the
end of it, all may rest assured.
Judge Pope and King Keno. —John
Pope, the carpet- bag Judge ol the Atlanta
Circuit, has promulgated a bull against tho
comet “Keno,''' which has created quite a
stir in Atlanta. lie orders the Shriff and
his Deputies to descend upon all the Keno
establishments in town and arraign all
the bettors and betlees, spectators and bum
mers thereunto, in any mannor belonging
or appertaining, and, unless they give bail,
put them in jail. We hope- “Ilia Honor”
will succeed in “busting up" the “Keno"
business; and then we hope he will not
“weary in well doing,” but run down the
“Faro” banks, Poker parties, old sledgists,
and the multitude of houses of prostitution
that abound in Atlanta ; in fact, we hope
he will inaugurate the millennium.
Bullock’s Reconstructed Judges. —We
believe every case that has been beYore the
present term of the Supreme Court, which
has been decided, has been reversed by that
tribunal. There has, perhaps, been more
cases carried up from the Circuit Courts to
this term, than was ever done before. If
our memory serves us correctly, there are
nearly 150 cases to be disposed of during
the present sitting. The Supreme Court is
an ablo bench, as mean as it is, and we
conclude that most of Bullock's appointees
in the circuits are weak brethren.

STEPHENS.
lion. A. 11. Stephens has written a long
and elaborate the .Notional Intel'
ligencer, giving views as to prime cause
of the War between the North and the
South, aad closing with some speculations
as to our political future. We copy the
concluding paragraphs of the letter :
“And now, Messrs. Eliters, do you ask,
Cui bono t AVhy so much written upon
tuc dead issues of the past, when questions
of so much magnitude of a practical char
aructer press upon the public mind ? It so,
the reply is two-fold. First to vindicate
the truth of history, which is itself a high
duty on the part of any one who has it in
his power to do it: and, in the second
place, to show the people of these States,
in this vindication, not only the true cause,
the real ‘causa causans’ of the late war,
but the real cause of their present troubles.
Tito Federal machinery lor the last ten
years has been abnormal in its action. It
must bo brought back to the Jeffersonian
doctrines, and made to eoDforin in its work
ings with the organic principles of its
structure, before there can possibly be a re
turn of the days of peace, harmony, pros
perity, and happiness, which furmely
marked our course. There is no hope for
constitutional liberty on this continent.—
Judge Nicholas may ‘dream dreams’ about
another constitutional amendment, provi
ding anew mode of electing the President,
but the remedy lies in no such device as !
that. It lies simply in bringing back the !
the government iu its administration to [
original first principles. This is to be done j
not by secession, however rightful and etii.- !
cier.t a remedy that might be. That is t
abandoned. Nor is it to be done by foree*j
or violence of any kind, except the force of !
reason and the power of truth. It is to be j
done, if at all, at the ballot-box. Free in- j
stitutions are more generally lost than es- i
tablished, or strengthened by a resort to J
physical force. They are eminently the |
achievement of virture, patriotism and rea
son. That our institutions, and even noma
inal form of government is now in great
danger, the prudent, sagacious and wise
everywhere virtually admit. An able edi
torial in your own paper, not long since,
put the pertinent at.d grave question,
‘Whither are we drifting V To this ques
tion I take the occasion for one to give you
a direct and positive answer We are
drifting to consolidation a'nd empire, and
will land there at no distant period as cer
tainly as the sun will set this day, unless
the people of the several States awake to a
proper appreciation of the danger, and savo
themselves from the impending catastro

only at the hallsft-box. All friends of con.
stitutional libefty, in every section of the
State must unse in this grand effort. They,
must and even reconsid
er many questions to which they have given
but BVigUt attention heretofore. They must
acquaint themselves with the priuotpiijs of
their government, and provide security for
the future b,y, studying and correcting the
errors ’jPwtpast.
“This is t3e only hope, as I have stated,
for the cor/tinuance of even our present
nominal form of government. Depend up
op it,there is no difference between consol
id&iun and empire ! No difference between
centralism and imperialism ! The end of

Editor Star : —On Tuesday morning
last, I witnessed the marriage of our mu
tual friend J. D. Alexander, and spent the
balance oi the week in the pleasant town
of Thomaßton. On Friday evening, I at
tended a concert given by Mrs. Victoria L.
Thurston, and must say that the pupils ex->
hi hi ted great proficiency in music. Mrs.
T. is certainly an excellent music teacher,
and deserves the gratitude of her numer
ous patrons for the fidelity she has exhibis
ted in the trust confided to her. The Hall
was literally crowded with the beauty and
fashion of the town and surrounding coun-.
try, and all seemed well pleased with the
performance.
Thomaston seems to be in a thriving
condition, and her citizens are saiiguine of
ultimate success in retrieving their wasted
fortunes. The erops between Griffin and
Thomaston, and from Thomaston to Barnes
ville, are very promising and in good con
dition. If the seasons continue only a few
weeks longer, planters will be abundantly
rewarded for their untiring industry.
VISITOR.
Griffin, June 20, 18C9.
Atlanta, June 22.—The Supreme Court
of Georgia to-day decided that the Code of
Georgia, adopted by the new Constitution,
forever prohibits the marriage relation be
tween white persons and negroes, and de
clares such marriages null and void. Sec
ond. This section of the Code is not repeal
ed by, nor is it inconsistent with, that part
of the Constitution which declares that the
social staius of the citizen shall never be
the subject of legislation. That clause of
tlto Constitution absolutely denies to the
Legislature the power to pass laws in fu
ture regulating the social status or compell
ing the two races to unite in social inter
course.
As the laws then in existence allowed
ohurches, for instance, to determine for
themselves who should occupy their seats,
and where their occupants should sit, and
permitted railroads and steamboat compa
nies and hotel keepers to classify and as
sign places to those using their accommo
dations, according to social status and grade,
as they might think proper, so the Consti
tution puts it beyond the power of tho Leg
islature ever to enact any law compelling
them to make different classifications or to
group together in social intercourse those
who do not recognize each other as social
equals. As the social relations of citizens
are not the proper subjects of legislation,
the Constitution has wisely put the matter
at rest, by denying to the Legislature the
power to repeal or enact laws on that sub-

Washington, June 23. —Cuban affairs
have never been the subject of consiiltution,
though occasionally it is the theme fur con
versation in the Cabinet, nor in the pres
ent aspect ot affairs is official action proba
ble. The Government lias no information
that opposing forces in Cuba have ever met
in open field, but that the little fighting that
li is been done amounts to nothing more
than skirmishing, and the operations con
fined to i few inland points. In this view
of the case no member ol thtT" Cabinet has
expressed any desire or hinted at recogniz
ing the beliigerant rights of the Cubans.--
The Spanish Minister has been informed
that while the Government will enforce the
neutrality laws, it and the people sympa
thize with the Cubans.
The Spanish Minister has been placed in
direct communication with the Attorneys
and Marshals so that he may furnish them
information, enabling them to enforce the
instructions issued some montlts ago to in
tercept the sailing ot hostile vessels. The
recent arrests were made through Spanish
sources, and were mainly attributable to the
open boastings of the Cubaus of their suc
cess in lauding men and arms.

A Patient Devotee —Deacon B. ot 0-
hio, a very pious man, was notod for his
long prayers, especially in his family. One
Monday morning the Deacon aud his wife
were alone, aud, as was his custom, after
breakfast a prayer was offered. There be
ing unusual amount of work that day, the
Deacon’s prayer was short, and seizing his
hat aud milk pail, he started for the barn.
Ilis wife, being deaf, did not notice his ab
sence, but supposed him to be still engag
ed in prayer. On his return from milking,
he wa- surprised to find her still kneeling,
lie sopped up to Iter and shouted “Amen,”
when she immediately arose and went about
her work as if nothing had happened.
Ths: Effects of Negro Supremacy Upon
the National Capitol. —The blighttng ef
fects of negro rule in Washington is thus
referred to in a letter from that city to the
Baltimore Gazette :
“House after house untenanted, the
lengthy bulletins of the real estate agents
nropertv for sale, and a depreciation in
value of thirty-throe per aunt, as compared
with the prices of last year indicate very
clearly the result of negro domination, and
are but the precursors of eviffi yet to come.
It is truly said that it does not need any
warning from any quarter to prevent people
seeking this town as a place of residence or
business. They shun it now as if it were
infected.
Good for a Judge, but not for a Jory

preme Court was taken possession of by a
dog. The Judge, addressing one of the
couse', sail, “You see, Mr. Banning, that
the jurymen’s seats are all occupied. Are
you ready to proceed ?” The lawyer rais
ed his glasses to his eyes, and after a brief
survey of the jury box, made the witty re
ply : “Your honor, that fellow might do
for a j udge ; but I should hate to trust him
for a juryman.” The Judge joined hearti
in the laugh that followed.
The “Dead Nigger” Story. —ln view of
the Tribune’s famous Georgia “dead nig
fier” story, the Louisville Courier asks :
If dead niggers are scattered all along
the Georgia highways and byways every
morning, why do we hear nothing upon the
subject from the military officers and sol.,
diers that Grant has stationed in the State ?
If murders here are so numerous, how
could General Terry afford to keep a strong
force parading in front of a hotel all day
I ccause a bucket of matter not deodorized
had been spilt upon the head of the land
lord ?
Judge Orr, of South Carolina, has
decided that the homestead clause of the
State Constitution and the act of carrying
it out are not in conflict with the Federal
Constitution, and that the SI, 1 f 00 exemp
tion is inclusive of the dwelling house and
outbuildings.
only way to be a gentleman is
to have the feelings of one ; to be gentle in
its proper acceptation; to be elevated
above others in sentiment rather than sit
uation, and to let the benevolence of the
heart be manifested in the general courte
sy and affabilty of the demeanor.

none the less heartlessness because I am

the depths of the sea, the waters
are still; the heaviest grief is that borne
in silence ; the deepest love flows through
the eye and touch ; the purest joy is un
speakable ; the impressive prayer is silent;
and the most solemn preacher at a funeral,
is the silent one whose lips are cold.
Political Progress. —By the operation
of such principles as the nigger voters in
Washington are bringing into use use we
may simplify political calculations very
much. Every man differing with the mass
would be knocked on the head, and opin
ion be thereby kept all one way in any giv
en community. If a man felt an inclina
tion to differ and cared about his head he
would leave, and settle in some community
of the other view. Thus we should become
organized, and there would be political har
mony everywhere. If communities came
in collision there might be some little civil
wars, but that would only be what they
have had in Africa these thousands of years,
aud the sun shines on Africa still, as hot
as ever.—N. Y. Herald.
