for cokoimsa, second district,
HON. NELSON TIFT,
Or Itoughrrty County.
The absence of tbo editor, we |
hope, will he a sufficient excuse for the
scarcity of original matter 'his we<k.
Wo are under obligaiioDs to
our worthy representative in Congrcsiq
Hon Nelson Tift, for interesting public
documents, one of which is the report
of ihc Agricultural Department.
Andrew .I»liii»oiiS Aildressr
Wo present, in our issue of to day,
the able Stato paper of Aadiew .John
son, retiring President of the Uuitcd
States. While its great length may
present an obsticle to many of our read
ers in giving it a perusal; yet, we can
not urge upon them too strongly the
importance of reading it carefully. Like
all other documents eminaiing from this
great statesman, it is replete with sound
arguments, which nobly goes on to sus
tain and foßtcr thoc pure corsiituiional
principles which underlie that govern
ment which was established by our Path
ers lie gives glowing and graphic dc
scrip'ions of the party in power during
bis administration— of their fraud and
corruption and their ultimate designs.
Indeed, it is ono of the ablest Slate
papers which ever emiuated from the
pen of Andrew Johnson, and will be
engraven upon the pages of history,
that futuro generations may honor the
man that could not be induced to s 11
Lis country for the poltry prize ol party
oggrandiz ment, and when those, who
have stigmatized his fair fam", thaT
have sunk beneath the waves of con
tempt and scorn, Andrew Johnson will
live in the hearts of his countrymen in
grateful remembrance.
Tlic Fifteenth Amoml tn cut.
After the action of the House on
this nefatious proposition to amend the
Federal Ccnsti ution, says ’.he Savan
nah News, we were prepared to bear
that the Senate had also voted for its
ratification
Thus has the Legislature of «-ur once
glorious old Commonwealth, in at
tempting to degrade her people, em
balmed themsehes in infamy. By al
most the same electric flash do we
learn that the Democrats of Indian—a
State in which this proposed amend
ment can work no harm to the white
population—moved by a high sense of
principle and dev lion to States' rights,
abandoned the Legislative Hall, rather
than be a party to the humiliation of
their constituents by even witnessing
the ratification of this abomination,
whila the Representatives (so-called)
of Georgia—a State where the white
and black races are nejrly equally di
vided, have bowed the knee to Baal,
and by solemn vote surrendered the
last stronghold of State sovereignly.
We had hoped that there was some
manhood —some self respect—some re
gard for the rights of our people, left
in the breasts of the majority in that
body. But wo were deceived. The
last, lowest, meanest attempt of Radi
cal power to degrade our people seems
to have awakened no spirit of resist
ance in that majority.
The demund for tho sacrifice was
made, and without a murmur, and
with a submission unequalled since the
ascent of Abraham to the mount, they
have movt and forward and laid the ready
knife to the necks of their own oft
spring. But there the parallel stops
Abraham was led by God. These
lathers are led by the Spirit of Evil.—
For Isaac, a substitute, was provided.
But for our children there was nosub
stitute at band, and generations un
born were ruthlessly, wickedly, heart
lessly immolated on that bloody altar.
Would to God that those who com
mitted the deed could alono suffer the
penalty.
Dcalii of an Editor.
R. M. Oruic, Senior editor of the
Southern Recorder, died in Milledge
ville on the 8 h inst. Mr. Orme lived
to see the fiftieth year of his paper, and
all tLo while his voice and pen has been
for justice aud moderation. At the time
of his death he was perhaps the oldest
editor in the State. The people gener.
ally will mourn over the loss of such a
man.

A Stay of I.iglil in tlie

A Special Committee, s iys the Sa
vannah Newt, appealed by Ue House
of Representatives rs the Georgia Leg
islature to look into the sp 'eolations
and delinquencies of sovurul officials |
have made a long report—too long for j
our columns. The (’.uninitteo s’ate
that upon investigation, they find that
the Governor, Treasurer and Comp
tioiler liavu boon using the public funds
without warrant or authority of law,
and recommend the passage of the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Attorney General
bo directed and requred to bring suit
upon the bonds of Madison Bell, Comp
troller Gonerul, and N. L. Angier
Treasurer, and their securities, for the
several amounts paid ftom

ISGS, to January Ist, 1869, on Execu

said Cosm r .tio'ler General, and which
are designated as unauthorized by law
in a rep it this day made by a Special
Committee, ol which Milton A Otiun
dler is Chairman.
lit solved, That it is the sense of the
General Assembly that the publication
of pardon by His Excellency, tho Gov
ernor, in a largo number of newspapers
in Georgia, and the publication of
e very Executive order appointing per
■ons to sueb unimportant positions as
County inspectors of Fertilizers, creat
ing as it does very heavy drafts upon
tho Treasury, without affording coin-’
mensurato benefits upon the people
should not bo continued, and taat the
drawing of warrants to c >vi r such ex
pense, upon any other than the Con
tingent Fund, is a violation of law,
tbul ought not to be tolerated.
The report makes no mention of the
thirty five thousand taken by Bullock,
nor does it recommend any action lor
the recovery of the amount.
Financial Views ol' Mr. Eo:ii-
Wl'll.
As Mr. Boutvve’d’s views with re
spect to financial matters have been
the subject of a good deal of inquiry in
ibe last day or two, we will (says the
Boston Advertiser) remind our renders
of Ins remarks in the Republican State
Convention last fall, and especially < 1
the following sentences:
“Wo do ni-t propose to tolerate,
san.tion, or permit an issue of and man i
notes, payable in coin, to be excbangi and
for tho time bonds of the United States.
We intend to limit, and if necessary to
diminish gradually, tho volume ol pa
per money, until it approximates in
value to the standard coin. YYe n
tend that there shall be ono currency
for bondholder, the merchant, the far
mer, the pensioner, and the laborer. —
That currency shall be of the value of
gold. When this is done, the public
debt will be paid, as the resources of
the country may permit, and to the
satisfaction of those who pay of
those who receive. When tho credit
of the countiy is restored as it wiHtf)e
by the single fact of tho election of
Gen. Grant, we can issue bonds paya
ble after ten or twenty years, bearing
(i lower rate of interest, and thus save
annu.il y the sum of twenty or thirty
millions of dollars. Rut, first of all, is
a means of restoring the public debt,
the people must dispel by their votes
the apprehension of national dishones
ty in the public finances. The IL-pub
lican party knows no policy in fiuance
but honesty.”
TSic Georgia Medical Associa
tion.
This body meets in Savannah on tl e
second Weduesday in April This must
needs be, says the Savannah Morning
News, one of the most important organ
iz'tions connected with the noble pr -
session of medicine, and we hope and
expect to see representatives from every
city, town, hamlet, and the country
throughout our beloved State. Every
regular physician is entitled to a seat in
the convention, aud all are most cor
dially invited to our city, both by our
doctors and citizens. Arrangements
are now being made with the railroads
by which all physicians will be allowed
to pass both ways on one fare. They
will pay as they come and >vi!l return
free by getting a certificate fro;n the
President of the Association.
The physicians of Savannah are
making arrangements to ec rtain the
membere in the most hospitable manner.
We hope that every paper throughout
the State will take special notice of this,
for it is a matter we ail should have in
terest in, aud place it prominently be
fore their leaders, so that it way tcaeh
every physician in the State. All are
most cordially invited to attend.
Georgia to be Kept Out. — A spec
ial dispatah to the New York ‘ Sun,”
dated 10th inst., says;
There was no debate of any account
except upon the case of Georgia. Mr
Thayer opposed any adjournment un
til action could be taken defining the
condition of Georgia, and he was sup
ported by Messrs Carpenter. Sumner,
and Edmunds; and on a division be
ing called for. only seven voted to post
pone it. There is undoubtedly a clear
majority now in favor of keeping out
Georgia from representation until she
is so thoroughly recon-tructed as to
provide for colored tnen guarantiee in
all their rights, and to arrest outrages
ami the murder of Republicans ; and
it is to secure a decision while the Sen
ate are of this mind that the subject is
now> pressed.
If Georgia is to be excluded from
tho Union, which she, as a member of
the Old Thirteen, uided to form, until
her people are degraded to the level of
the mongrel rigraf who have usurped
the government of our revolutionary
fathers, so; one \vc would prefer that
her exclusion should bo perpetual. 1

in those obstinate cases, iu which Quinine, A r«e*

this remedy effected a cure in two or three days,
without a relapse ever occurring.
The advantages that the Auti Periodic posses

fact : First—That it invariably breaks up the fe

not occasion any of the head symptoms, like those
produced by Quinine. And Third—That it eau
