==r GEORGIA WEEKLY OPINION THE WEEKLY OPINION. BY W. L. SCRUGGS ABD J. B. DUMBLB. SATURDAY HORNING t s; OCTOBER 5. Cotton/—The trade of the city yester day was brisk. The opening figures were 13X; at noon 34© for best; at close of busi ness 13#—buyers paying the tax. The pur chases from wagons, during the day, were about 95 bags. Frbcocjoub.-—A countryman was vic timised yesterday afternoon by a squad of mtgro chaps. He carelessly stuffed two dollars in greenbacks Into bis pocket, was watched, and the aforesaid greenbacks dis appeared. The police caught the culprit? recovered the funds, and our rural friend went ids way rejoicing. Tub Executive and Mr. Davis.—It toms out that “ the Executive is ttot Inter esting itself about the trial of Mr. Davis.’ The only parties North who ever have ^in terestedthemselves In the case of Mr. Davis, were those outside the Exeout|vi Bing. According to Mr. Johnson’s thco ry, Mr. Davis la a traitor, and deserves the halter; according to Mr. Greeley and •thers of the Congress party, Mr. Davis is nothing but the defeated, powerless and harmless leader of an overthrown empire, and should bo set at liberty, as Toombs had others have been. In the case of Mr. Davis, Johnson has done as little to merit the confidence and love of the Southern people, as in the other acts of hia life. It lB Mr. Johnson who has thrown the ob stacles in the way of Mr. Davis’ trial; it is Mr. Johnson who has brought the South- 4m people to the very brink of ruin; and yet—strange infatuation!—it Is Mr. John son whom our Democratic friends have se lected as their standard-bearer; the same Johnson, who betrayed the Breckinridge party in 1861, and who betrayed the oppo site party three years afterward. Bradlry and Ills Crew.—Respectable white men withdraw from the Radical Ticket nominated in Savannah—the asso ciations being inconsistent with “the pro tection of property and a proper admin istration of Justice.”—Exchange. This paragraph misrepresents facts whether so designed, wc undertake not to say, but such is the case. The “association” referred to is Brad ley's crew, whom the Military dispersed a Ibw days since; and with whom the “re spectable white” men referred to, never aeted or oflleiated. We have had men in all parties—wc even have them in all Churches—but when they voluntarily cut loose from the organization proper, and Keek to establish some new creed, it cannot "be truthfully said that the party or Church bolted and left them. It was they who left the party. We understand, however, that Bradley and his associates have repented their folly, and are now quite willing to behave themselves. Wc hojx) they will make good their commendable resolution, and quit their foolery. Financial Troubles.—The gold anti cotton markets an; at right angles; one ad vances and the other recedes in ono and the same day. Can anything better illus trate the present deranged and unsettled condition of the country ? Can anything be more significant? The political trou bles In Europe have assumed such propor tions as to threaten suspension in the man ufacture of cotton fabrics. Consequently, the Liverpool cotton market is depressed. Cold in New York advances In anticipa tion of a return from Europe of Govern ment securities. This creates a sensation in the commercial circles throughout the South and West. It mokes creditors im portunate, and conspires to cripple tho ef forts of the debtor to meet bts obligations. Capital, apprehensive of the future, avoids Investments. Creditors are pressed in to bankruptcy; and Confidence, the very ba sis of commerciel prosperity, is lost. So wego. Tub Iaiuisiana Election.—The indiffer ence manifested by the white population •f New Orleans, and, indeed, of the whole State of Ixmisiunn, in the lute election, is among the most mournful signs of the times. In the city of New Orleans the vote, is nearly twenty-six hundred less than a majority of registered voters. Very few of fcbe whites, it seems, voted, ns nearly Bine-tenths of the votes cast were polled by negroes. The consequence will lie that .•he negroes and the very few white men who voted, will control tho policy of the .Suite and give it a Constitution for ycura i/» come. This culpable neglect on the part of tl»e white voters will tic repented •f when it is too late. The Alabama Election.—Tho white voters of Alabama seem foolishly Indiffer ent over an issue which is to decide their weal or woe for years to come. They have given over the State to the control of of the non-property holding class; these are to framo their future Constitution and direct tlie political destinies of that onco great and jiowcrful Bute. Ii it not strange that intelligent men will thus trifle with their own Interests and prove recreant to the claims of posterity f Public School in Cabs County.—There will lie a meeting in Cnrtcrsvine, to-day, ior the purpose of taking into considera tion the prosperity of, and to devise means to build up first-class school* In that place. 'Tfhto is a matter, says tho Express, !n which not only the parents in tho country are in terested, but two good High Schools, with ono hundred and fifty scholar*, such at will do more for tho prosperity of CartcrsvUle than ten court houses. School houses for the purpose can be built, teachers compe tent can bo hod, and the work con and util Mloib Gen. Grant and thkNasuvillr Elec tion.—It has been claimed , that General Grant doca not sympathize with the Bownlow party, anu General Thomas act ed in the matter of the late election with out Instructions from his superior. Tho following dispatch which General Grant sent to Genral Thomas on the day pending tho election In Nashville, show’s how ut terly false are such statements: Washington, D. C., Sept., 87, 1867. To Major Gen. G. II. Thomas: I will send you further instructions to morrow. Nothing is clearer, however, than that the military cannot bo made use of to defeat tho executive of the State in administering the laws of tho State. You will not prevent the legal State force from the execution of Us orders. U. H. Grant, General. On the evening of the same day, Mayor Brown addressed a note to Gen. Thomas, to the effect that he had no disposition to engage in a conflict with the State Execti tive. bat simply wished the privilege of holding tho election in accordance with the provisions of tho city charter, and asked the General if he intended to uphold tho militia, should the latter Interfere with tho election appointees of the city. To this. General Thomas replied as follow s: I have to ssy that the proper interpreta tion of General Grant’s telegram order is to sustain the State authorise. In the exe cution of their orders It is not left to me to decide the question of the legality or illegality of the election ordered by you. Upon receiving this respouse, Mayor Brown at once telegraphed to President Johnson,laying the whole correspondence before him, and asking If the city authori ties would have to be governed by General Grant’s order. No response was received from the President. Lbtter from Hon. Bivebdy Johnson.— The Augusta Republican publishes the fol lowing letter from Senator Johnson to a citizen of Augusta: Baltimore, Aug. 23d, 1867, Dear Sir : I have to-day yonrs of the 19th. By this mall, I forward you a copy of a minority report made by me. on the con dition of the States. The opinion it main tains is still mine. My reason for the votes to which you re fer were given at the time in two or three short speeches, afterwards published in pamphlet. As soon as 1 cun get one I will rend you a copy. As you will see. the vote was given un der a conviction that the measure. If adop ted, would save the people of the South from confiscation, anu tho violent meas ures against which I feared no Judicial re lief could he had. If the States arc represented, I haven strong hope, almost an assurance that ere long all the restrictions the reconstruction acts contain will be removed. This I know’ Is tho belief and wi*h of many leading Re publicans of both branches of Congress, certainly of the Senate. I agree with you, that the defeat of Douglas by Democratic defections, was a fatal mistake. Very respectfully. Your obedient servant, Bevhrdy Johnson. Mr. Johnson is actuated by the same motives which operate to cause several prominent gentlemen In Georgia, to advo cate Reconstruction. He therefore belongs to Gen. Wright’s category of “White Nig gers.” . _ Sheriff of Spalding County.—Mr. Sw’ayzk, of the Gridin Union, and the Sheriff of that county have had some per sonal misunderstanding, and perhaps a tight also. Wherefore we find the follow ing paragraph in that paper of yester day : We deem it our duty to call upon Gen. ’ope to relieve the present Sheriff of this count}*, and appoint in his place a man who will do his duty regardless of the color of the skin of those with whom he has to deal. We want an impartial officer—ono who will not keep a warrant in his pocket to protect a white defendant because the prosecutor happens to be black We take it that Gen. Pope will not re move a faithful officer for having given personal offense to the editor of the Union! Personal matters should be settled other wise. If the gentlemen are not satisfied, let them fight again! Such eases do not properly come under Gen. Popp.’s jurisdic tion. They relate to the Jus honorariam. CJTTho chunccs ure. If the Southern States will vote down the Military scheme, Congress w ill come to its senses.—Ex change. The same argument, it will lie remem bered, was used against the ratification of the Constitutional Amendments in Octo- ber of last year. We know the result. Shall we continue to reap tho fruits of Folly? Is the hope that “Congress will come to its senses” sufficient reason for the rejection of the proposed measure of Pence? Was the hope that the North would grow tired of the war. and ultimately ecaso its prosecution, realized in I86$-64? In short, have any hopes, based upon an an ticipated reaction in Northern public sen timent, ever been realized ? Franck in the Retrograde/—A start ling letter from Marshal Bazainc is pub lished in the Liberal papers of France. It Is n confidential circular to the officers of the French army, in which he directs them to make no prisoners, but to put to death all the captured Liberals. As the Govern ment organs do pot deny the authenticity of tho document, it seems to bo genuine If so, It is the roost powcrAil defense of Juarex which has yet been published. City Railway in Augusta.—An Au gusta paper of the 3d. says that the work of contracting the City Railway Is progress ing rapidly, and that In fbur weeks the cars will be rnnning through Broad and other streets. Whitfield Couktt/—Tho Republicans of Whitfield county, mot in Convention at tho Court House, on tho first Inst., and nominated N. P. Harben, Esq., as their candidate for the approaching Stato Con* tentlom The Indian War.—The Commissioner of Indian Affairs at Washington received the following communication on the 1st in stant; Osage Nation, South or Kansas, September 2, 1867. : Hon. N. 0. Taylor, Com. of Indian Affairs, Washington, D. C Dear Sir: We, the head Chief* of the O.*ago Indians, being very desirous to re main on friendly terms with our Great Fa ther, tho President of the United States, do hereby renew our friendship, and do trust that the Government of the United States wlU extend to us tho usual protection. We have Just returned from our summer hunt Wc have not met with any Indians tin friendly to our Great Father, and have been successful on our hunt. On our return from the plains we were told that we. as an Osage nation, had been accused of being unfriendly to the Gov ernment, and disposed to disturb the set tlers, our neighbors. To state tho truth in its reality, we desired and demanded such white men as had settled on reservation to rctnovo their families and stoek from our lands, but we have, in no instance, disturb ed any of the settlers who. live on the lands sold to the Government, or driven in trust by treaty of 29th September, 1865. We Jo not deny that during our hunt w< have seen sorao American hordes among our ponies, but on returning from twr plains we have carefully collected them all and placed them under tho care of a white merchant to be returned to their rightfol owner*. Permit ns to observe that the whites have stolen a larger number of our ponies, whilst we have no means of ever recovering them. We are also told that tho Stato of Kan sas is organizing four companies of mili tia to protect the white settlers in the south part of Kansas against the hostile Osages. We never were nor never intend to be hostile to our Government, or the whites. We know that our welfare de pends on their protection, and therefore solicit the usual protection from the Gov ernment. Y'our friends and brothers, White Hair, This x mark,] Principal chief Osage Nation. Little Bear, (his x tnark.l Chief. Clermont, [his x mark,] Chief. Tall Chief, [his x mark.] Chief. And many other*. Is Gen. Ghant a Radical?—It seems strange that men should longer ask this question. Gen. Sheridan, while on his way from Washington to Philadelphia, spoke us follows to one of the party, as rejwrtcd by the Philadelphia Enquirer: “The Reconstruction act* of Congress are the only measure-* calculated to benefit tho people of the Southern States. All of my acts while in command of the Depart ment of Mississippi and Ixmisinna were not only fully indorsed by General Grant. but. in reality, might be considered the execu tion of Gen. Grant's oxen orders. 1 f tho first letter written by Gen. Grant to President Johnson regarding my removal was to lie made public, the people of the North tcould be astonishexl at its liadical tone, and when it is published the people will find that he (Grunt) is Radical to the core. As far as Radicalism is concerned, Gen. Grant is more so than lam, and in several Instance* I have written to him asking him to modify the instructions sent me, as being too ex treme to suit the occasion lor which they were intended.” Sunday School Gamdling Sciiicmf.8.- Speaking of this new fashionable vice, tho New York Tribune says: Sunday-school gambling schemes—or, In other words, lotteries and rallies at church fairs-have bccomo so common a feature of those annual entertainments, that oven the charge of a Kings County Judge to tlie Grand Jury, that it was tlie duty of that body to inuiet every participant in such f iructices for violation of law.caused merc- y a week’s quaking among the fair offen- ers before they resumed the disreputable swindle. Among the noticeable items of news in our Mexican correspondence Is the fact that manager* of the poor-house at Jalupa have prayed the General Govern ment to so far rescind tho order prohibit ing all lottery schemes as to allow them to continue a small lottery which they have operated for years, anu without whose aid they cannot sustain their institution. If tho success of the almshouse in question is es timated upon the number of Inmates, then tlie claim is undoubtedly well founded, for we know of no custom more conducive to well-stocked poor-houses than that which instills a passion for lottery tickets or raf fle chances. Supporting lumpers by help ing to beggar many now’ out of the alms house, is about on a par with sending Bi bles to ilindostan with money inveigled from tlie public under like false pretences. Barnum’sGorilla Attacks IIlsKukckh. The Gorilla recently placed in Barimiu’s Museum yesterday afternoon gave an ex hibition of his natural fierceness by at tacking his keeper. Prof. Davison. Fortu nately, tlie latter escaped without serious injury, ami at the same time without giv ing tho gorilla an opportunity to pructi- uly demonstrate to the Incredulous whe ther the said animal has sufficient power to tear a man to pieces. Yesterday afternoon, ns Mr. Davison w as in his nceustomed place, lie ventured too near tho bars of the cage, within reach of tlie monster. The hand of the ahirnul in stantly grasped Davison’s right arm. Professor Davbon almost instinctively dropped to tho floor, so us to bring tho Iuum of tho gorilla to the floor of the cage before lie could grasp him with his other hand. To have remained standing would have given tlie gorilla an opportunity to have pulled the arm out by the socket, if he had the power, which Professor Davi son professes to believe. The grip of the animal slipped from tho arm of Mr. Davison, but still retained hold of the coat. As the keeper fell, tho beast held lit* whole weight at arm’s length with apliarcnt ease. Professor Davison quickly threw off his coat, which was torn to shreds by tlie gorilla. Tho affair caused much excitement for a few moments. Professor Davison was slightly Injured.—JVeto York Tost. Gen. Flktciikii and Gen. Guant^-A Washington letter to tho New York Timet, dated Sept. 29th, says: Gov. Fletcher, of Missouri, who has been here recently settling tlie war claims of his State against the Government, Imd an interview with Gen. Grant yesterday, tho result of which has not transpired. The Governor, house ter, is very emphatic in his expressions <f satisfaction with the views entertained by Gen. Grant regarding recon struction affairs. Gov, Fletcher, it will be remembered, is to Missouri very much what Browniow Is to Tennessee. OTGen. Sheridan has accepted the Invi tation of Gov, Fenton to visit Albany* New York, IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE* From the New Orleans Republican, Sept. 23.] Now that impartial, or negro suffrage Is a fixed fact, not only in Louisiana, but in all of the late slave States except those 1>ordering on those that hove always been free since tlie adoption of the Constitution of the United States, namely: Missouri. Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware* an al lusion to the origin of the idea may prove to be Interesting. By this term, we mean the time when men or Influence and high f o*ltion began to think seriously of urg- ng negro suffrage, not only as a matter of right to the colored race, but ns a measure of safety for the country. The following letter, written by Hon. Owen Lovcjoy to Gov. Hahn, of Louisiana, D among the earliest documents on the subject which could be considered as foreshadowing tho future settled policy of the Republican party. It was written but a few days pre vious to Mr. Lovcjoy'* death, and was pos sibly the last letter on public affairs from the pen of that true patriot and philan thropist. The writer, it will be seen, testi fies that tho great and good President Lin coln was in entire accord with him on tho subject, hut not entertaining so exalted an Idea of his prerogative as Ids successor. (Ic/ired to nave the good work accom plished by undoubted authority. \)flb of tlie remarkublu point* In the let ter is the allusion to “Governor Johnson, of Tennessee,” now President Johnson Ji will lie seen that Mr. Johnson, true to his character, succeeded in deceiving Mr. Love- loy. as he since has Judge Kelley, of Penn sylvania, and Major Stearns, of Boston, with both of which gentlemen ho held conversations on the subject. The latter, with the consent of Mr. Johnson, publish ed the detail* of their conversation, and the result has proved that Andrew’John son, on that occasion, as on many others before and since, talked directly opposite to the way in which he intended to act. His language to 31 r. Lovcjoy really meant this anu nothing more; that lie w’ould fa vor negro suffrage, or anything else, pro vided ue could bo assured it would pay. Washixguon, D. C., March 14.1864. My Dear Governor: I have just been reading with great satisfaction a brief no tice of your Inaugural, and the address you made on the occasion. 1 am very ghul that you propose to make clean work of slavery. “W ill you allow me to suggest one thing more ? We cannot go to the bottom where the granite is in order to build without giving the elective franchise to the negro. 1 am satisfied that if we stop short of that it will be found that our house Is built upon the sunt), and when the floods come, and the winds blow, und the rains descend, it will fail, and great will be tho fall thereof. The sense of justice which has been awak ened in the nation by tho rebellion, will not rest satisfied to have forgiven rebels who have fought to overthrow the Govern ment. and drive away loyal black soldiers who have fought ;o sustain it. It is not ncccssarry at first that all should vote.— Y'ou ran allow those who can read and write to vote; or you can allow black sol diers to vote. The privilege of voting given to the latter class, to-wit: tlie sol dier*, would commend itself. I think, to the whole nation. You may think that this is owing to my overweening anxiety for the black*, but it is not that alone, nor chiefly. I am satisfied that Providence will not let us settle tills question until we settle it on the foundation of equal and ex act malice to all, in accordance with tlie trlnciple* of the Declaration of Indepeii- lence and of the Constitution, which know mulling of black or white, rich or l>oor, but regard the rights of men, us such, sacred. I was nmeh gratified the other day In a conversation with the President to find that, his views on tills subject accord with my own. He docs not feel that lie can re quire lids a* a delegation requested him to do. ?ti’i !u desire* it to lie done by tlie action of the people themselves. " If Louisiana takes the lead, I think all tlie other States will follow, and then we shall have settled this question on deep and broad foundations, against which tlie gate* of hell cannot prevail. The number of those who arc at first admitted to tlio privilege of the elective franchise docs not, to me, seem essential, for If you let any portion of the colored people vote, the rest will follow in time. ••I had a conversation with Governor Johnson, of Tennessee, on this subject.— He feels right, personally, hut lie is a little timid as to the public sentiment. 1 do hope you will sen your way clear to take the lead'in the matter, Y’ou will thus not only do a good thing for your country, but immortalize your name, for I am satisfied the nation will grow to till*. If it lias not already reached It.- “Excuse mo for having intruded my lews upon your attention. The brief, but pleasant acquaintance 1 bud with you lias encouraged mo to do it. “Very truly, yours. ••Owen Lotkjoy. “Gov. Mlehticl Hahn. New Orleans, La.’ Greeley ox Stew art.—A Georgia paper Is blest with a paper from ono J. A. .Stew art, who ha* been delighted, yet horrified, by the speech of a black nlun at Atlanta, who is said to have advised id* hearers to vote only for candidates of their own color. This 'delighted him. as a proof that the Muck* were “throwing oil* the Ratlieal yoke;” jet it appalled him with the fear that if blacks are candidates for office, whites will have to kill them. He helps everybody out of the dilemma as fol lows: “Now. xeiih tho best tf Motives, I have again anti again advised tho freedmen to have .nothing to do with politics; and I yet urge them to reject the offer of en franchisement and keep out of tlie scram ble for office, ami thereby give security igalnst the renewal of civil conflicts and .ho loss of their own liberty, which tho Constitution now guarantee* to them.’’ If the blacks should ever want a first rate fool for a candidate, and could n’t find him In their own ranks, we advise them to try J. A. Stewart.—New York Tribune. Disposal of Public Land.—The Com* mlsntoucr of the General Land Oiilcc lias received an account of land sales In August, at the llumbot and Vlcalla offices, in Californio, showing that 4,350 acres were disposed of, a largo portion of which was entered under the homestead law’. Also, returns showing that over 34)00 acres were disposed of at tho Rosobury office In Ore gon, 2,800 acres of which were entered un der tho homestead act for actual settlement and cultivation. Thr Ram Merrimac.—Another effort is now being mado to raise tho famous ram 3lcrrimac from tho bed of tho Elizabeth (Va.) River, where sho has remained an obstruction to navigation since her de struction during tho war. All her guns, anchors and chains have been removed by tho wreckers in tho employment of tho Government. All attempts to blow up the hull have so far failed. Tho wreckers have secured the iron prow, and aro advertising It for solo as a curious relic. Kiel* Him When He’d Down. •When the win of prosperity’s shining.

Female Suffrage in Kansas.—Great efl’orts arc liclng made to carry a Constitu tional amendment in Kansas whereby the privilege of suit rage is extended to women under like conditions with tnen. Speaking of this projiosition, Mr. Gree ley, as editor of the Tribune, says: it. Is plain that the experiment of Female Suffrage is to be tried; and while we re gard it with distrust, we are quite willing to sec It pioneered by Kansas. She is a young State, and has hud a memorable his tory, wherein her women have borne an honorable part. Hhc Is preponderantly agricultural, with but one city of any size, and very few of her women are other than pure and intelligent. They have already been authorized to vote on the'question of Liquor License, and in the choice of .School Officers, and, we are assured, with decided ly good results. If. then, a majority them really desire to vote, we. if we lived in Kansas, should vote to give them the op portunity. Upon n full and fair trial, we believe that they would conclude that the Right of Suffrage for Woman was. on the whole, rather a plague than a profit, and vote to resign It into tho hands of their husbands and fathers. We think so, be cause wc now so seldom find women plow ing. or teaming, or mowing (with ma chines). though there Is no other obstacle to their so doing than their own sense of fitness, and though some women, under peculiar circumstances, laudably do all these things. Wc decidedly object to hav ing ten women In every hundred compel the other ninety to vote, or allow the ten to carry elections against the judgment of the ninety; but if tlie great body of the women of Kansas wish to vote, we counsel tlie men to accord them the opportunity. Should tho experiment work as we appre hend, they will soon be glad to give it up, An East Tennesseean in Luck.—The Knoxville Free Press, of Thursday, says: Col. Wm. C. Pickens, late Commander of the 3d Tennessee Cavalry, is a lucky man. About three weeks ago, he passed through Knoxville on fils way to Washington to look after some unpaid claim* that were due ldni. Ue has Just returned, and the .following may he styled ns the nett result of the trip: lie lias received the appointment from the President ns Minister to Constantino ple, and Is already making hi* prepara tions for ill* nppcnrnnco at the sublime Porte of Turkey. He secured a pension for himself during life of §2.1 per month, for wounds received at Strawberry Plains Bridge in 1801. He secured tho allowance of Ids claims— amounting to 910,600—against tlie Govern ment, all due to himself. Ho obtained the appointment of his son Marcus, us Cadet at large, to West Point. If anybody can bent this trip, we would like to hear from them. The Election in Ohio.—The Cleveland Ilorald puts on record this prediction: “Though not given to prophesying, w venture the prediction that, at the coming election, ‘Constitutional Amendment, No? will run behind the Democratic ticket, and ‘Constitutional Amendment, Yes’ will run ahead of the Republican ticket.” Tho Toledo Blade, in commenting on tills, says: “Tim Herald Is right. There ure liemo- cr.it*. ami uot a few either, who will vote for tlie Amendment. Wc can name them by hundreds in the Northwest.” Gen. Pork and tub Press.—All reason- able then iu Georgia ought to congratu late themselves that the military law in this State Is administered by a man so moderate, competent nud patient as Gen. Pope. Hud lie been disposed to retaliate the abuse and insults which have been heaped upon him by the secession press- had bo been tempted to use resentfully the pow er In his hands—wo should have found them as quiet as they were when, just af ter tho surrender, they were apprehensive that a King Stork would rule over them.
