Datasmi Journal. EI.Afl CHRISTIAN, Kditor. n .* wrso jr, g **., Thursday, January 2nd, IS6S. • ..■■■ m*m ■ Reading matter on every page.-fttU wA— l -!M." U PARTICULAR NOTICE. All Bheriffs, Ordinaries, Clerks and other (so call :d) ' provisional officers” of tho State, who have been accustom ed 4o send their advertisements to the Journal and other Conservative jour nals, are informed that they can now' resume their usual channels of busi ness, Order 49 and its author having left the country for a trip up Salt Riv er, and there is none to molest or make them afraid. Good news at Last! By a general oiler from the Secreta ry of War, which we publish clscwherp, it will be seen that old King John, the negro-loving, white-oppressing, political swindler and military humbng, who has for some time past been disgusting the the ei«ili*od world with his manage* ment of affairs in tbc 3d District, has been ignsminiously dethroned; and it is to be hoped that he will now be sent to iho Indian country to deal wiih those o are more accustomed to his ‘way ot doing,” than are the people of Dixie, nis removal bad long been anxiously looked for, not only by the people of the South, hut by the lovers of peace, tranquility and goodfgovcrnment through out the whole country. John Pope and kis wooden-beaded negro-Radical convention at Atlanta will ever bo look- ed upon as the darkest and most dis gusting page in the Listory of the Em pire State of the South. This removal inspires hope in the hearts of all patri. ots. And may we not hope in vain that history will not repeat itself in this fb Stance! The President deserves, and will re ceive the earnest approval of all honest men, in this display of wisdom and pa triotic, nerve. One by one the hidcons heads of Rad lOwliem are falling off. Sheridan, Sick les, Ord, Pope, swayne, have fallen, and they will not stop till they have reached the utmost depths of political infamy. We have good reason to believe that Pope’s successor is a soldier and a gen tleman—and if so we may not expect a repetition of Pope’s demagogucism in Ibis State and district. Three loud hearty cheers for Andy Johnson ! l><a«t Broke. The failure of the Atlanta bogus con vention to rob the Treasury of Georgia has placed many of its members under the head of “dead broke.” It would have been worth a pocket full of ground peas to witness the appearance of the bouse when the messenger returned from Milledgevillo and reported “no funds.” That announcement dashed to pieces the air castles of the lucky freed men members who expected to return to their old haunts disguised in white shirts, trousatcons, &c. It took the wind out of the sails of the carpet-nag gentry, who anticipated an extensive entrance into the wooden nutmeg bus iness. It crushed the bright hopes of boarding house keepers who expected to make money out of the conoern even if they had to burn their bedding to get rid of the scent of radicals ond niggers. Although but one of the darkies pro pounded the important question to the »o called convention. “What did dey bring us here fur ?" it was doubtles the feeling of many on the announcement of the money failure. Not even Hulbcrt would loan the concern any money, but lit is said that he sent the members home by Express, marked “C. O. D.” Solil oquy of members—“ When will we meet again ?” SSL. Soiue of the newspapers ex press doubt ns to whether or not tho colored delegates will ever go back to the Atlanta show. We entertain no such doubt. Cuffy is de errnined to to have another lick at that nine dol lars a dny. To this end wo see they are taking up publio collections in some districts to defray the expense of another trip. Those who went to woik on the barracks in Atlanta at $1.50 per day, have displayed more wisdom than anybody else in the so-called con ven’ion. Important Dscistons — -We learn from the Millodgeville Federal Union that the Supreme Court decided a few days ago that the conditions in express company nnd railroad receipts, restrict ing their liabilities against fire, &0., were void, and could only be enforced by express contract between the par ties, which must be proved otherwise than by the receipt of the company. Great excitement prevails in Arkan sas on account of the itsurreclion of negroes. The grand jury and citizens of Chicot county, Ark., have petition ed Ord to station troop* there lor their protection. For tbe Dawson Journal. RELIEF. \Y at does it mean 't la view of the imponunco of this question, to tbe peo plo of Gsorgia, please allow me to ana liys it, that any man who acts upon it, may do so with his eyes open. In a nut-shell, ’tis nothing more or less than ‘‘defrauding thy neighbor” You who are willing to advance it must get your consent to say : “I will violate my obli gation, and that too, when I can avoid it,” and by doing this yon put it out of the power of honorable men to do what they know to be right. For instance, you owe A one hundred dollars; A owes H a similar amount, and li owes C. Now by your paying Abe can pay li, and G a’so can get his money. Thus three parties are bcDefittod by your ac tions. It is a well known fact, that nearly all the indebtedness of the coun try is from one citizen to another, of his own locality, and it may fairly be presumed that a few thousand dollars may pay the indebtedness of a large neighborhood. 1 say Ibis is the general rule, and specially so among farmers. I lay it down as a general rule, thft no Legislation on tho subject can be carried cut, because of its unconstitu tionally, founded on tbe principles of equity and justice, tor without such a shield, no ooc would ventureto trust his neighbor, for to-morrow his neighbor might, by the aid of such legislation prevent him from recovering it baob again. Capital would lie dormant, and the poor and unfortunate would lie at the bottom of society. llow many of you in the hour of distress, has not been relieved by your friends ? This would cease, and the iron bed of the law would grind you to the dust. A large class of tbe business of the State Las been carried on thus, year by year. Knock tho greit lever of confi dence fiom under yon, and you must keep your money in your hands, for tear of some unknown and unexpected calamity. Yous3y: We were ruined by the war—if so, of all otberp, we need the confidence of those who arc able to help ns. And I believe, to day, that much of our financial trouble is caused by the agitation of those iniquitous measures. The men whom we thought yesterday, to be perfectly solvent, tells us that ho ‘‘can’t pay out,” but if bo could only get what is due Lira from others, he would be perfectly able. He only owes one neighbor, while another owes him. But you will say : I admit all you have Baid, but where is the remedy ? I answer make the relief offered or pro posed by onr enemies odious. If your neighbor adopts it, drop him as you would if he was branded with theft or arson. -Remove honor from our race and we fall below the brute creation.— Set the seal of dishonor on the move and movers , and* though penury may come, yet ’ns sweet to know we have honor still. Asa financial measure I have treated the question, bat where wc'find that this syran spell has been put in our cars by the Radicals, to carry the ratification of their ill ’gal, infamous and outrageous measures, how does it look f Called to gether by a party, foreign to our soil, our interests, and to cor Constitution. With no aim but political aggrandise ment and publio plunder—they would pander to our necessities, by offering what they cannot give, and which to ac cept, would bring disgrace to us, and cause our children to baDg tbeir heads in shame. “Esau sold bis birth right to appease his hunger”; “Arnold” for gold, but we are asked to sell the birth right of our children for a hideous phan tom—’tis equal to asking us to sell the virtue of our household. We are Geor gians. Noble blood courses through our viens. We have the heritage of heroic deeds of those who fought for our honor, to take charge of, though in the spirit land. We know that they yet look to the froits of this inheritance 0 how we should stink in the nostrels of the enlightened world, if we basely gave this bright, this only gem, left from the treasured house of manhood. Talk to your neighbor thus, and you to whom the people look for counsel— proclaim it from the Btump, in every dis.rict in your counties. Organize \ against it, and let it never be said that j Georgians beguiled us to drink the poi son of Radicalism for the pitiful sum of six and a quarter cents, and then lost that by playing political “chuclca luck.” LEE. Gen Graot has been chased out of the ring for President by the ring-tails of the Atlanta Convention, as appears from the proceeding of a meeting in tha‘ city on tho 21st The Chase club was formed some weeks since. It is therefore evident the extreme Radicals will not support Grant, but will run Chase or some other extreme man. Sensible. —The latest accounts from Atlanta state that fifteen of tho negro delegates to Pope’s Convention, unable to get away, have gone to work ut the new barracks at $1 50 per day, while I three or four others have hired them selves to various boarding houses ns waiters and Loot blacks. These will likely he on hand to take another chance at the sfi per day. A Nut for file Southern Kndi* rnlstoCrufk. * Tho Anti-Slavery Standard announces that tho Republican party in CoDgresi s falling to pieces, being constantly be trayed by its own friends. The great organization—tho grandest, it says, of all mere political parties ever formed, “has no enemy so dangerous as tho cow ardly and treacherous, the timid time server, and the mere expediency-mon gers who dwell within its borders. In Congress it falls constantly. It is fall ing to pieces daily A chief reason is because it has no leader, no one brave enough to strike back, or sagacious enough to a blow and ward it off. What ever else might be said of Mr. Stevens’ leadership, it had the merit of striking back and of being always ready to at taok when liberty was threatened. A crowd of mere reipcotabilitics now strivo to rule. All of them are seoret ly concious of their unfitness for tho po sition their ambition aspires to. So all strike to prevent other men from that direotion. Schonck is too cross, Kel ley is deemed too egotistical, Boutwell and Sbellabarger too modest, (a quality with which not maoy are afflicted) But ler is too imprudent on an immergcooy, and Logan is not yot a skillful enough a parliamentarian, Julian would be best, but he is the hard worked and weary a man to undertake tbe task. For all practioal purposes Mr. SteveDß is of the past, except so far as ho can counsol. “It is no uso disguising the fact. — The Republican party is not vow one. There are two distinct parties in its midst. The question is really which shall keep the great name and maintain tho splendid organization. This honor belongs by all that is just to the Radi cals. Tbe Conservatives have no claim, many of them are petty and peddling soldiers of fortune, while the others aro jaundiced and disappointed politicians, who grievo at being so near statesman ship and unable to make the people rec ognize them as such. What transpiied on the black days—a twin disgrace— last week has given a final, if yet unrec ognized, blow at the unity oj the party. Nothing can keep these discordant ele ments together long, except the pres sure of an outside danger, overwhelm ing as that which dreve them into fu sion whon Sumter was fired upon. Tbe republican party in Congress might have survived, though that is doubtful, the defeat of impeachment. ‘There are other measures that might have rallied the shattered elements.— But it can never survive the utter wreck of mutual confidence which has rcsnltcd from ‘the tyranical an! shapeless con duct of the majority which destroyed tho nation’s great hope.’ That conjunc tion of Conservative fears and copper head lusts was fully exemplified by the manner in which they crushed all de bate, destroyed free dneussioo, and made parliamentary liberty a jest, brought to shape and scorn the highest prerogative bestowed by the Constitu tion on the National Legislature. The tyranical conduct of the majority in pre venting debate has swept away the last hopes among discerning men of looking to keeping tho Republican party intact.’ John Pope Removed.

The following aro the decisions de livered by Judge Walker of tbe Su preme Court. Thornaß J. Cox, vs. v Attachment. Sarah Felder. ) From Webster. An officer of one county may issue an attachment returnable to the Court of another. An executor, de son tort, who is re moving the assets of deceased out of the county, is liable to bo attached and the assets levied upon.—Judgment reversed. 8. D. Irwin, Adrn’r &o, J vs. C From Terrell John T. Howard, et al. j Tbe traverse of the plaintiff’s affida vit for attachment must bo made at tbe return term of the attachment. An affidavit for attachment, stating that “defendant is actually removing or about to remove out of said couhty,’' is valid. A substantial compliance with the requisitions of the attachuuont laws, is sufficient; and the bond given by plaintiff is amendable by the consent of ihe sureties. Declaration in attachment is amendable. An affidavit for attachment need not describe tho evidence of debt—it may state “the amount nf the debt olaimed to be due,” and the pleadings should describe the cause of action. A plaintiff in attachment may make it returnable to the term of the Court in whioh he elects to sue, next after the issuing thereof, provided such Court shall not sit within twenty days after the issuing of the attachment. He may make it returnable to the next term of the Suporior Court notwithstanding a term of the County Court may inter vene Where defendant in attachment re plevies the property attached by giving security, his Buret es are liable as “secu rity on appealj,” notwithstanding the loss or destruction of the property lev ied on. A bond, with sureties, given by a de fendant in attachment to replevy proper ty levied on, conditioned that defendant shall appear at said term of said Court, and shall abide by and perform tho or der and judgment of said Court in the premises, and pay the said plaintiff the amount of tho judgment and costs that be may reoover in said case’’ is valid, and authoriz e the plaintiff to enter up judgment against defendant and sure ties for the amount of the judgment that he may recover in said case. When throe attachments are levied, and one bond given to replevy all the property levied on, judgment may be entered against the defendant and sure ties on said bond for tbe amount of tbe judgment in each case—Judgment re versed. Another Kirk. As evidence of the fact that Radical ism is already the “underdog cf the fight, wo copy tho following remarks from that first aDd bitterest of Radical papers' the Atlanta Opinion. All men with any honesty whatever left are be coming disgusted. Truly the skies are brightening: ****** The Convention has had a session of two weeks. The result has been any thing but enoourageing. Much bus tran.-pired to di-gust the public and dishearten the advocates of Reconstruc tion. Less than a dozon ema 1 ! mon, possessing neither education, character natural ability nor political experience— men who have neither the talents to con ceive nor tbe plodding instincts to copy a sensible ordinance ; nor yet the pro duce to keep silent when silence alone would have screened their shameless ignorance—these are the men who have essayed to shape tho policy of tho Con vention, and render the officers of the State observient to the interests of a clique. They have succeeded thus far only in chattering themselves iuto noto - riety ; thoir soLemcs of plunder have been too tarnsparent to deceive, and too flabily executed to command success.— The coalition formed with this disinter ested clique, by certain parties in At lanta, and in derogation to the best in terests of Atlanta, has only partially succeeded. Tho State roadiss’ill out of their hands, and let us hope, for the sake of the tax payers of Goorgia, that it will remain so. ******* Another two weeks of scrambling for plunder ; another session of wire pulling, intrigues, and combinations, looking alone to the personal interests of a few small men in and out of the Convention, will cause every respecta ble Union man in Georgia to wash his hands of tho whole affair. We spsak plamly because we fed that, under the circumstances, it is » solcmu duty to do so. And wo do this, too, in the full knowledge of the fact that it will cost us several subscribers, and perhaps the entiro printing of the Convention to do so. Nevertheless, the Opinion can afford to lose both, rather tqqint at or endorse the disgust ing role of a faction who sock to make the whole reconstruction movement sub servient to their own base and selfi-h purposes. We have already sacrificed more than other puplic journalist in the cause of reconstruction. We have done this from principle alone. No sneak ing desire for office, publio patronage, et emoluments of place has prompted our course. We desired above all things else, to see the county settled and at peace : for this and this only have wo labored, and will continue to labor. The Tallahassee t’entinel learns that corn is buing large quantities in some portions of the State at from 50 cents ti one dollar por bushels, to parties who are sh pping it to Savannah. Next summer these same people will be glad to buy it back at two dollars. The Quincy Commonwealth learned that there have been several instances of Lwlessncss among the negroes at Con coid, in that county. A lady was knock ed down on the publio road and violated by a negro, and shooting is quite preva alent. A detachment of acldiers has been sent there. Iliirniiig of (lie Kalelifli- The Charleeti n News of Thursday contains a long account of the burni g ot this fine steamship on her voyage from New York to New Orleans: The Raleigh left New York on Satur day evening, with twenty passengers, three of wnom were ladies, making with the officers and crew, fifty nine persons on board. All went well until Tuesday about noon, when the ship was about twenty miles siutheastof the Charles too light-ship. An alarm of fire was given, and it was found that the fire hal hr ken out near the forward hatch, Capt. MarsbmaD at once put the Bhip before the wind, distributed life pr-s rv ers among the passengers, made prepa rations for lowering tho boats, and took other measures of salety, all the while battleing the fire with his u'most ener gy. Bit all exertions were unavailing. Within five minutes from the discovery of tbe fire it had extended to the smok ing saloon, and there was no longer any hope of saving the sh p, though there was some hope of being able to save ev ery lile. The first boat that was lowered had ten persons in it. This boat was cap sized and all arc supposed to have been lost. Two others, under charge of the purser and chief officer, containing eigh teen persons, were picked up by a tug and brig and taken to Charleston. An other boat, with thirteen on board,reach ed Kiawah Inlet in safety, and the pas sengers havo arrived in Charleston making thirty one in all known to be gaved. It is hoped, however, that some may yet have escaped, as there was still two boats 1 ft on the ship. Tbe Raleigh belonged to the Atlantic Coast Mail Steamship line, was built at Grecnpoint, L. I, in 1865, and was 868 tons burthen. She was in every way a staunch and sea worthy vessel o*pt. C. P. Marsbman, bercorcmander, was for some time in command of tbe steamship Keystone State. He had been a shipmaster for over twenty years, and no man on the coast core a higher reputation for seamanship and thorough knowledge of his profession. One ot the passengers, a Mrs. Bry ant, of Mobirn, fell overboard during the rush for the boats! She had ou a life preserver, which would have kept her afloat, but around her waist she had belted a large s im of specie, the weight of which carried her dowD like lead. JVciv »lt!t'criisemen is.
