The Atlanta Constitution aav* : •‘If
any movement is made to oust, Mr. Hayes
It will be strenuo isly resisted by the .
8ontherr. Democracy,"
Wo should like to know by what an*
thnritv the Constitution pledges i ,} ie
Southern Dejnocvacv retain’ to back tip Hayes,
and forcibly him in posit io i, if
he in proven to be a fraud. The Smrh
ern Democracy has never vet, as a body,
endorsed a fraudulent usurper, and why
should they do so in the case of Mr,
Hayes? The two or three membeisof Con
press from Georgia, who whine around
because they fear that the investigation of
the frauds alleged against the title of
Mr. Haves, will arouse the mdgnation of
the honest masses, are not the Southern
Democracy ; neither are they represtnta
tive men of the honest Democracy of the
South, who believe in maintaining their
constitutional rights, even thongh Mr.
Hayes should be ousted rom n position,
that it mav be proven beyond a doiibt,
he has no right to hold.
THE ONE GREAT QUESTION.
I discover that the epoch of Fraud is
divisble into three periods:
1. The period of struggle.
2. The period of experiment.
3. The period of failure. And now
the epoch closes in collapse
If you will run your mind’s eye back
along'the course of events yotf will easily
distinguish these periods. The first be¬
gan with Zach Chandler’s brief but mem
orable telegram reciting that Hayes had
185 votes and was elected, and ended
when perjury and forgery had borne fruit
in the person of Mr, Hayes riding with
Grant in aback up Pennsylvania avenue
to be inaugurated.
The second period began when Hayes
affixed h s fraudulent Presidential signa¬
ture to an inaugural message, glad with
promises of reform, and bright with gilt
tering pretences of public morality;
and this period has been ending ever
ainoe.
The third period began when Hayes
exemplified his doctrines of reform by
carefully calling out all the thieves, for*,
gera, and perjurers who had aided and
abetted the crime by which he became
President, and appointing them to posi¬
tions of trujt and power ranging from
the Secretaryship of fho Treasury to the
Surveyorsfiip of the Port of Now Or¬
leans.
And now the collepse has come. This
is a brief history, or rather a syllabus of
the history ot what Charles Francis
Adams called ‘Freud First Triumphant.’
It is necessary to keep the main points in
view, in order to roach a proper concep¬
tion of the magnitude of the movement
set oo toot in the House yesterday. In
my judgement, those resolutions of inves
tigation possess an importance little, if at
all, inferior to the Declaration ot Inde¬
pendence. The great declaration formu¬
lated the right of the American people
to govern themselves. These great res¬
olutions declare and vindicate the capaci
ty of the American people to govern
themselves, in that they suggest a meth¬
od and provide a means for rebuking
and destroyino 1 , by legal processes a n d
under peaceful auspices, the first conspi¬
racy ever formed in their midst to over
thiow the principles and set at naught
the practices ot their self-government.—
2feu> Orlaens Democrat.
S’nce the Aiueiiotn Revolution, says
the New York Sun, we have always en¬
joyed the privilege ot having®!, Chief
Magistrate of our choosing until Ruth¬
erford B. Hayes defrauded us cut of it
As the right sprang up with the revolu**
tiou, and was asserted and maintained by
he revolution, in that sense it may be
designated as revolutionary but in no
other. No new revolution is intended
or required. It is absurd to say that we
think of lighting for this right again.
All the fighting necessary to establish
it was doue immediately after the Decla
lation of independence. Who is there
to fight against us—.merely because we
assert this right, theoretically and prac¬
tically —now 1 Are our opponents op¬
posed lo the revolutionary dootriues ot
1176?
Sanderaville Courier : ‘A colored fe
male convict, under the charge ot Cap*
tain George W. Peacock, who tor some
time past has acted is his cook, one (lav
last week attempted to poison him wit h
strychnine •he made mistake Fortunately and used tor the quinine Captain,
a in¬
stead ot strychnine on his broiled ham.
Th« result was to make the meat so bit.
ter as to render detection easy. He had
several bottles ot medicine in the same
chest, and the quinine and strychine be¬
ing ot the same color, she mistook the
former for the latter. It was a narrow
escape tiom a horrible death.’
John Sharman and his co-conspirators
proclaim that investigation is revolution,
and in the same breath dec are that thev
will maintain Haye’s title with force,
John forgets that iu the revolution he
proposes to inaugurate tiie parties to
the contest would not stand eight-to
aeren.
TO THE BOA HI) OF EDUCATION OF ROCK¬
DALE COUNTY.
Gentleman.—H aving seen in a previ
oiis nutnbtM' ot the Examiiwh a notice,
Hinting that the public schools for thf
present ' year, in Rockdale county, must
hn 0||en d „„ , he 17lh ot Jam a „d , !0n .
tinue for three consecutive month* ; I
,lig method of asking . that the mat
*
ter be reconsidered.
I feel my utter inability to address
such a body r as I kuow the 2>pavd of Ed
uoation to be, but knowing as T do the
circumstances, feelings and sentiments ot
P ltrof,s and supporters of conn try schools,
I b‘el it my duty as a teacher to say
somthing in regard to it. In deetdi. g
lh >* question, you doubles.* did what y ou
thought would be ot the greatest benefit
to all pari'n ? concerned ; biP I know to
a certainty '.bat the patrons ot my schoo',
and all othev count ly schools, will not
get through with th'dr crops before tin-
1st ot July ; and as I have been teach
ing in a covnmur ity, where < omparative*
lv all the children arc 'accustomed to la¬
boring on the farms, I was necessarily
cornp< lied, when ti e work season d»;pw
n’gb, to suspend my school until crops
were laid by,
The consequence is, if I resume mv
school at the tune directed by the Board,
I wijl have comparatively no pupils at all,
or in other wouls no school at all. From
experience, I know this all to be a fact,
lor having taught last year in the same
community where I arn now teaching.
I suspended, and resumed my school on
the first Monday in July, wlvoh was too
early by two weeks for the farming class
of pupils. I had no pupils at all before
the middle of July, except those who
where regular scholars and did not have
to wck on farms. But ns crons are so
much earlier this year than last, I think
it very probable that Hie patrons will be
through with their crops at.d can send
their children by tire 1st of July.
Taking this view ofihe matter, I hum
bly ask that the question be reconsidered,
and that you alio w us to count one month
of the spring term as Public school, and
that yon compel ns not to open or rro
p n until the 1st Monday in July, when
we can teach the two remaining months
of the Public school term by the 1st of
September, when the children wi'l be
again compelled fo leave ohool to gath*
er crops.
In conclusion, I ask that you do not
consider me presumptions in thus ad j
dressing you, or* think that I have gone
beyond my sphere in thus appealing to
you, but having seriously reflected upon
the matter and knowing to acertainty that
the patrons of my school can'not send in
their children before the 1st of July, and
supposing thall other farming communi¬
ties are like situated—as l said before, I
humbly b g in all sincerity, that a meet¬
ing of the Board be called—the thing
reconsidered, and that you allow ns to
teach the schools as I before stated—
considering one month ot our Spring
term as Public school, teaching 'die re¬
maining two months of Public school
h’Jin 1st of July to 1st of September.
I am very Respectfully,
A Teacher.
Rockdale Co., May 30th, ’73,
PEACE IN EUROPE.
Our dispatches this morning announce
that the complications over the Eastern
question which have seriously vexed the
mind of Europe since the Tutko- Russian
war have been virtually settled. .Russia
agrees *o the demands of England to sub¬
mit the whole treaty of San Stefano to a
Congress of the powers, and invitations
to attend that Congress at Berlin have,
it is said, already been issued for the 11th
proximo.
This result has, are informed, been
brought about through the efforts of
C uut Schouvaloff and the German
Crown Prince. No doubt to them much
ol the credit is due. It is by no means
unlikely, however, that t le information
contained in oar cable dispatch, to the
effect that the Russian Imperial Bank is
so heavily in debt that the governtn nt
dare not continue the publication of
weekly returns, and th git its affairs are in
hopeless confusion, has much to’d > with
the peaceful so'ulion of the troubles. Rus
s.a has already been involved in heavy
.expense through her war with Turkey,
and her finances, at best is by no means
in the finest condition, ha/e been serious*,
ly impaired. She would therefore have
found it a very difficult matter to have
maintained a conflict with a nation so
well prepared with the sinews of war as
is Great Britain, especially when, as in
this case, tire latter wrfs’endorsed by the
leading European countries
In this section it is a special source- of
congratulation that war has been averted.
Had it oucuivd, nearly every great pow¬
er in Europe would have probably be¬
come involved, and the conflict would
have been terrific. While such a war
ought have benefited the iron and grain
producing sections of this country, there
no doubt but that our oottou interests
would have been more or less injuriously
affected. We, in common with theoiviU
world, therefore, hav^ cause to be
at the pvospec ive result
War. preparaiions on both sides Con¬
but this is ouly with the object of J
aagft
tK-mg prepared tor any emergency, since
the question ot ]»eace will not. be posi¬
tively decided until after the Congress
meets. Besides this, we shall doubtless
yet receive many conflicting reports from
abroad regarding the situation. It is
quite reasonable to hope, however, tha’
the worst is over, and that unless some
very improbable and nnforseeu circuit!
stance arises to prevent, the peace of
rope will, lor the present at least,
maintained.
August.', May 24. —The steamer Rosa
left here this' morning with the Og e
thorpe Light Infantry, on an excursion
to Silver Bluff. Fifty ladies and gen

from eating lobster salad or canned
fruits. On the arrival of the steamer to¬
night there w;.s great excitement in the

many were poisoned. AH wes stub

There has long been a great and universally

in a manner that will enable the reader to re¬

led to the prosperity and decay of the gieat
powers'of the woild. He shows us the various
men—the warriors, statesmen, poets, sa¬
ges, and orators—of ancient and modern times,
and makes them familiar to the reader ; he ex
plains the secret motives of theii actions; and
of the late War between Russia and Tur
