C4A.., ar. .. . : JUNE 25, 1860. 1 *- gg - 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.

DRIFTINTG TO AN EMPIRE TUB TENDENCY OP THE TIMES— 1 ItEUAKKAS BLE LETTER PROM HuN. -LEXANDEU u - 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 phe by arrestingtfha,present tendency ot public affairs. iffiffliiey can properly do 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 as well as all of these, is the overs /throw of liberty and the establishment of A, r .u u«*V »ver received or heed now, will be render 'ed eternally true by the developments of the future.” “Yours, most respectfully, Alexander 11. Stei-uens.” [COMMUNICATED.] 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- K’t- B©»A. country editor says that his own and A.

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. There is no disagreement between Fish aud Sumner regarding M-tley’s instruc tions. Gen. D iniel Butterfield has been appoint ed assis aot Treasurer of New York. AVebb, in telling Fish that the Brazilians have no more respect for us than Uuyti, suggests that we thrash them.

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 tne stai*or T a jhrymart’ aUsontArom 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. 85*L>Gail Hamilton sent a note of regrets to a silver wedding in Illinois, in which she said : “When one has stayed married twenty-five years in Illinois, I suppose it is worth while to ring the_ bells over it ! Pray consider that rtouch 'the rope with none the less heartlessness because I am hundreds of miles away.” 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.

PARAGRAPHIC. t&f Says the Tribune: “An English man can do nothing without a diuner ; an American cannot stop to eat.” With re gard to the latter, perhaps not; but just ask him to drink, and see what then. It is rumored that Grant intends to lift both Blodgett and Bryant out of the Augusta Post Office, and appoint someone else. He has found out ho made a “miss deal.” John S.

The Yankee Jubilee. —Jubilee, bats, jubilee neckties, jubilee collars, jubilee cobblers, and other jubilee things are all the rage in Boston.

It is reported that Senators Sprague, Ross, Fowler, Hen derson, and perhaps one or two others, will hereafter refuse to act with the Republican majority in the Senate, while Chief Justice Chase is now said to be in full sympathy with the Democrats. The only member of Lincoln’s original Cabinet who now acts witii the Republicans, is Simon Cameron, who was turned out of it for corruption. ESSL.

Mr. Coble advertises his runaway apprentice, R.

The crop in Southwestern Georgia is a success, and we can scarcely imagine a disaster that can reduce itlNjhtw an abundant sups ply.” Generous Bequest. —Mrs. Kolb, who re cently died in Madison, Morgan county, left an estate valued at near SIOO,OOO, almost all of which she bequeathed to the Ordinary of that county, in trust, for the purpose of educating the poor orphan children of tho county. Stock of Cotton on Hand in the United States. —The Northern journals say that the stocks of cotton in this country have bo come so reduced that, with all that may bo expected to come to market during tho next four months, there will not be enough to keep tho spindles of this country goinc du ring that time. tlßt, The following is the result of tho trial of the wheat growers at Athens : _ Dr. J.

Bancroft, thirty-five four-sixtieth bushels. , , All the of crops more or less war ned; the latter cut short one-third. Timely Warning. —The Athens Banner never said a truer thing than the following : “The white people oi this country can af ford to bo patient and kind toward the ne gro, in dealing with this question, and it requires no special sagacity to foresee that the effort to elevate him in advance of bis fitness, and against the will of those who control the business interests and property of the country, must rebound and end in failure. Just in proportion as the negroes seek office, and avail themselves of tempo rary local majorities to get it, just in that proportion will they hasten the adoption ot a business policy which displaces them, and seeure the'' inevitable supremacy ot tho superior race.” — {gp An illiterate negro preacher said to his congregation, “My bredren, when de fust man Adam was made, he was ob clay, and set up agin the paling to dry.” “Do you say,” said one of thecOngregation, ‘dat Adam was made ob wet clay, and set up agin the palings to dry ?’ “Yes, sir, I do. “Who made de pailing ?” “Sit dowa, sar,” said the preacher, sternly ; “such questions as dat would upset any system of theology.” jgy* Anew England spinster says she dosen’t care anything about woman suf frage unless it carries with it the right to make proposals of marriage.
