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. What the Cubans Say —Refugees in tbi* city reptfrt that at least fifty thous and Cubans are among the insurgents, jaotwithstanding the rnauy who have left the inland for the United States to avoid consctip'Jou; Many of these bring what property they can, and leave the rest £Ol cod fiscal ioo. Every means of conveyance to the States are used, aud fiome of them have to renort to subter fuges to get cff. The most excited are resoived either to be free of Spain or to distroy the island, ahd mott of them would like annexation to the United ‘m Y. Rxprttf, A Stay of I.iglil in tlie I it re. 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 ry within tbo | cried from August 11th, ISGS, to January Ist, 1869, on Execu tive warrants countersigned by tho 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 I Special lo tbo Macon Telegraph.
