GEORGIA WEEKLY OPINION
THE WEEKLY OPINION.
BY W. L. ICBUOOS BHD J. B. BUMBLE.
WEDNESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER28.
Ok a ** Btkikk.**— 1 The hand* at the Roll-
In# Mill are on u *fcrik<i for wage* which
ibcy claim to b« due wvernl month*.
Corrox.—Th« number of wagon* In the
City, yesterday* wan considerably lea* than
the average of last weak, although the price
of cotton Is looking up a litt le. We under
stand that sales have been made this week
at 12# cent*.
DiUDr—Mr, W. K. Mason, nn old and
highly esteemed member of Fire Company
No. 1, died at his residence in tills city, on
Monday last, lie had been an active nml
efficient member of the company tor eight
years. lie was buried by the member* ol
No. 1 Fire Company and the niheriMan
Association.
Firf..—The alarm of lire at midnight,
last night, was caused hy tiie burning of
the dwelling of Mrs. Hinton, on Decatur
street. Most of the family were absent
from the premises when the fire was dis
covered ; consequently a large portion of
the contents of the building was destroyed.
The Are, it was conjectured, originated
from the bursting of a lamp. We were
unable to obtain particular* ns to Insu
rance. ^ ^ ^
QTA correspondent of the Rome Cou
rier does justice to Dr. Miller, one of the
nominee* on the Republican ticket for this
district. We give our cotcmporary—an
opponent to Reconstruction under the
Congressional plan— full credit for Its
Dkmocracy and Rkcokstkuctiox. —
Since the election In Ohio and Pennsylva
nia, some people in this section have
changed their views, and have declared
their purpose to vote against Reconstruc
tion. We are at some loss to see what we
have to gain by this course. What can we
accomplish hy it? Can we get Into Con
gress, and resume our statu* as a State of
the Union in any other way than that pre
scribed hy Congress? If *o, hW? Will
some of our opposition friend* enlighten
us on tills point ? Congress hold* it* pos
session of power for two years to come.
During that period, the Reconstruction
Law is not likely to bu changed. The
blacks are already enfranchised. I* it In
our power, whilst out of the Union, to de
prive them of the ballot ? If so. how?
The question i* not whether unlve
siillVage Is politic a right in itself. That Is
not tiie issue. The question is. What, tin
der tiie circumstances, is the best that, we
can do? If Georgia, like Ohio, was a
State in the Union, and In a condition to
claim her Conditional rights, then might
we, like Ohio, vote down negro suffrage.
But our condition Is very different. Our
status 1* that of a conquored State out of the-
Union. R U the province ol the conquor
ed to accept the best terms offered by the
conquorcr. This lathe usage of civilized
nations. And In accordance with tills
usage, should we not call a Constitutional
Convention and get Into the Union upon
the terms offered ? This done, we will then
be hi a condition to talk about Constitu
tional rights—not before.
Do Nothing.—Henry a. Wish has
turned Abolitionist. In a late speech he
declared that he would not regtore Slavery
if it lay In ids power to do so. He even

of the State road, and hence the evidences
of hope in the local trade of the city.
Caution Nkuessaky,—It is stated by the
Washington Star, of the lDtli, that the Sec
retary of the Treasury will Immediately
make a demand for reclamation on the per
sons from whom about eighty thousand
dollars' worth of alleged counterfeit seven-
thirty notes wbra received at the Dcpnrt-
luent, which claims that In the course of
business the understanding is that until
notes, etc., aro dually and satisfactorily
examined here they aro at the 1’lsk.of those
presenting them. Should these persons
refuse to make satisfaction, tho Treasury
will take tho advice of some law* olllcer of
tho Government—perhaps the Attorney
General—and he governed hy his opinion.
Meson,-Keren.—The result of the Ohio
election Is made the occasion for renewed
attacks upon (ion. I'oi-K by the Antl-lte-
constructlon press. Is it possible that these
gentlemen believe Gen. Porn to lie the au
thor of tho Sherman Bill ? Do they really
believe the General to lie personally res
ponsible fur its disagreeable provisions!
8i.eh a construction is anything hut com
plimentary to their intelligence; and yet
if it be not tn.e, why do they continue to
abuse bin. ?
Gen. roi-K la doing nothing but what bis
Government has commanded him to do.—
If Bukhman kills Indluns in obcdlcnco to
orders, why should not Gen. Pont obey or
ders In the cnforccmentofthelaws of Con
gress! In both cases, tho Government Is
the principal, and tho two military gentle
men are but agents, noting within the pre
scribed limits of tliolr ugcncy. Why slmsc
-cither! Why not abuse the principal and
acquit tho agent! That Is the law and it

should nover abuse a man merely because

Men become puti|>crs and vagrants by sim

lose cast am] political Inll.iencc by doing
nothing. We have been doing nothing for
two years, and are already on the descend

do nothing, and we shall soon reach the
bottom.
tSTThc Now York Times—Conserva
tive Republican — notices the fact that
some of the Bouthcrn papers have at last
got over their doleful dumps, uml got into
a state of something like exhilaration, In
view of the late Democratic successes.
And the Times adds: “We hate to dash
tl.elr Joy lit the least; but it may bo as
well for then, to beware of counting too
lunch on the late elections. They by no
means prove that the Democracy arc going
to sweep the country next year, or any
thing of the kind. They hy no means
prove that the Republican party has col
lapsed. or anything of tho sort. They may
prove that the people of the North nre not
prepared to endorse the revolutionary
schemes of the more violent partisans in
the last Congress; hut they do not prove
that the South will over bo reconstructed
according to tho plans of tho Copperhead
Democracy. If our Southern contempo
raries cannot learn this hy studying the
election returns, they will lie taught it hy
others yet to come.”
HT’ Colonel Wood, Chief of tho Secret
Service Division of tho Treasury Depart
ment, has had all his force at work since
the discovery of tho counterfeit Seven-
Thirty notes. It has now been definitely
ascertained that over one thousand of them
ha vo been put upon tbe market, and that the
plates were not mndc In Europe, but in this
country. It Is further stated that Phila
delphia has been tho headquarters for prin
ting them. Thocl.ic to tho whole proceed
ings Is said to be In possession of the Se
cret Service officers.
T.Rmtit from General Grant.—A tele
gram dated Philadelphia.Oct. 10th,says:
Upon tho mlre.ne.it or Dr Lclbcr from
tho office of Rebel records be wrote to
General Grant congratulating him upon
his success, and saying tlmt it was rarely
that history had ever devolved upon one
man so many great civil and military res
ponsibilities, lie felt it was possible a
greater crisis was coming than that which
ended In Appomattox Court House, and be
prayed he might be strong enough tu ac
cept the responsibility. Grant's letter is
Mid to bo tho most Radical l.o lias written.

may devolve upon him. No matter.how

-drop of Wilson county, Tennessee, Is re
markably heavy—considerably above an

HT On tho first Tuesday of November,
which is the ilfthday of the month, elec
tions will be held In the States of New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Ne

Governor and State officers, but In others
the tickot Is only local.
Reconstruction ix Louisiana.—Advi
ces from New Orleans state that tho total
nnmlicr of votes cast for and against the
Convention exceeds sovcnty-llve thousand,
and that the majority In Us favor will
reach iiftccn thousand. It la expected that
the Convention will bo convoked at an
early day.
HT Tho Chattanooga Union states that
Chancellor D. C.Trc whitt and Judge W.L.
Adams, In whose respective districts tho
Governor has Issued orders for elections to
be held, aro both candidates for re-election.
Tho cause, of their resignation waa a desire
to obtain Increased compensation, and they
arc running again to get it.

Gkxkrai. IJarnky as a- Runner.—An
exchange tells tho fallowing story of the
veteran General Harney:
General Harney, who- Is sixty-seven
years of use, is six feet three Inches in
height, aiiu Is as straight us an arrow, and
In his younger days used to excel every
Indian on the plains with whom he came
in contact In running, jumping and
wrestling. !Ie Is known universally nmong
the Indians as a “fast runner," He tells us
that he wus never badly pressed but oncq
In running, and that was many years ago;
when lie was encamped at tho Madam
village, on the Missouri river. The In
dians hud brought In their fastest runner
and challenged the General to run. All
the tribes in that* part of the country were
present, and all were In high glee, thinking
they Imd u sure tiling. General Harney
prepared hhnsclf and went out about a mile
from camp across- a ravlue, which was as
near as the Indians were allowed to come
to his camp, and met them. The Indians
Were so confident of winniug tho race, that
they bet everything they possessed on the
result, and tho officers of Harney's com-
Riciuiond, Oct. 17,1947.
Gen. Schofield has returned ft-om Woelk-
Ington. He saystbnb thero will be no
changes made in the Cabinet for somo times
If at alL Tbe President bu no present In
tentions In tbat direction, nor will there be
any alteration In tbe manner of Southern
reconstruction. The General Is anxious
that tho Convention should be called, and.
regrets tbat so many of the white people-
aae disposed to oppose It. He says they
will be mistaken If they-think tbetr north
ern friends will sustain them in such a
oearse. If they vote down a Convention,
or vote against It, the poaple of tho North
can very Justly say: “V'Ahy, tbeso people
are unwilling even to giro Congress nnd
tho Republicans a chance to show what
they will do. They will not even let
them make an effort to recon
struct their Governments. Why did they
not let them hold their Convention, and
thon if the Constitution did not suit they
would still have it in their power to vote
it down. But they will listen to nothing.
They will not help themselves, and why
should wo help them?” “They mistake
the real significance of these Northern
elections,” said tin: General* “The people
of Ohio arc not voting against suffrage In
tho South. .They are only declaring by
their votes that Congress has no right to
Impose It upon them. They, were never In
rebellion—never lost any of their Btato
rights. But,with the Soutliern States the
esse ts quite different. All their rights
were-AMrfeltcd, and Congress has full power
to diutete terras lo them.” This was about
what tin- General said, and he added furth
er, xvich a smile:."If they want to dofoat
the Convention, tho best way for them to
do It is not to vote at all. But oven this
would not defeat it, for the ■ Republicans;
black ami white, are many thousands in
the State, and .therefore the Convention Is
a llxed fact. It Is also certain that tho
Constitution that will bo fr. sued by it will
be adopted by the people in t approved by
Congr.se, and Virginia, before the 4th of
March, will be In the Union, 'rejoicing'
with her younger sister, Tennessee-
Bavjjabity ov a Ska Cavtaix.—A liorrl-
niiind also backed their favorite to the blocm^cruelty Is nw before the Un -
fullest extent. The Indians would bet a. “g *£“"?' Jf t New Orleans Two
and hoys of fifteen or sixteen years lilcl them-
pony apifnut a few pounds of sti#nr and
coffee. The odds they considered in their
favor. The distance run was eight hun
dred yards, nnd one from each-side chosen
to start them* and us judges of the race.
The Indian got almost llftcen. feet the ad
vantage of the General in tiie- start, tut
supposing lie could beat the Indian easily
he did not tnlud It at first; hut R wa* it
long distance to gain, und hy putting forth
his utmost effort* and straining every
nerve, he only beat the Indian three feet.
The Indian dropped upon tho ground at
the end of the race exhausted,, ami was so
chagrined at ills defeat, that he-would, un
der no circumstance*, come near the Gen
eral again. The General would only ac
cept a few trin lling things for hi* winnings*
but gave the best back to« the Indian.
From tiiat time lie has been known among
the Indians as “the fast runner,” and hi*
influence is in proportion to- his popular

Mi'll UKIlUOH. ASHAUI.T IS A ClIl’KCH.—A
Woman Stabbed by her Divorced JIntband.
This afternoon, while the- congregation
were assembling in tiie German Reformed
Church, n nio*t desperate assault was made
bv Ferdinand Hoffman upou. the person of
his divorced wife, Caroline Yo»t. Ap
proaching liw in the choir, he demanded a
few momenta* conversation, which being
denied, he asked her to kiss him, and while
iu the net of doing so, he stabbed her with
a butcher knife three tiroes In tho breast
and eight times In the abdomen and on the
limits. The scene was terrible and heart
rending. and tiie screams of the women
and the shouts of the men, ns tho assassin
lied Iron* the scene of his ns-anIt, were ex
citing in tiie extreme.
The murderer, with the hutchcr-knlfe
in id* hand, streaming with the blood of
his victim, attempted to reach the railroad,
pursued by a maddened anil excited
crowd, but was arrested in his flight by a
stalwart countryman, who compelled him
to surrender. The excitementnt this point
was Intense, and the greatest demand was
that the monster should lie lynched on tiie
spot. Prudent counsel prevailed, and he
aelveK-oa board the bark T. II. Armstrong
before It left Liverpool for New Orleans in
order to get a free passage. When they
made their appearance after the vessel hail
got to sea, tho Captain, Rufus Lodge, took
one of. them, tied him to a stanchion, tied
his hoods behind Ids back, got a sharp
stick of wood from the first; mate and rest
ed one end on the deck, and, put tho
other end—the sharp one—under his chin,
forcing lib head backward, causing him
great* pain and Buffering. He remained
thus tied with Ids head forced backward
for nearly eight hours, during which time
accused repeatedly came up to him, caught
him by tho throat and chocked him, and
made him drink, forcibly, half a pint of
sea water at a time. A ftcr he had been re
leased from the stanchion, the Captaiio
made him wash himself in a tub tilled with
sea water and lime and forced Ids con nun
lorn to-rub his inflamed body with sand pa
per and a stiff brush until the skin bled.
The other unfortunate was subjec ted to
like barbarous treatment. Captain Lodge
liSB been held in $5,000 to- appear for trim.
Ohio Politics.—The Cincinnati Gazette,
the lcadin., Radical paper of Ohio, has in
article strongly against any attempt to \tn-
peach the President at the present time. It
says “the only course now (unless Johnson
gives- some new nnd Imperative cause) is
ftir Congress to carry through the recon
struction ami restoration.of the Soutliern
States, and to devote itself.to tho economi
cal Interest of the country, nnd to iVre
form of the monstrous corruption in the
Executive branch, whloh tho abandoned
character of the Executive has made usys-

Canton Cor, Cincinnati Gazelle,
Cot.on IX tiik House.—It Is nn old exl
nrcsslon that a good horse cannot be of a
bad color, still wo lind that the ready sole
of a horse depends largely upon Ids color, i
Borne hues are strongly objected to, and I
prejudice Is curried so far as to deny merit
to an nnlnral not marked according to thci
standard of tho critic. We have not much
faith In color, believing that good qualities
are not partial to any particular hue.—
White hones, It la claimed, live lo thci
greatest age. Iu 1803 a gentleman farmer, I
residing near Ludlow, England, had a team
of four grays, whoso united ages were a
hundred yean. These grava were all llvc-l
ly animals, performing tliolr work with
dispatch. Suet a circumstance certainly
la unusual, and we may regard It in the
light of a coincidence. As coincidence
does not prove a proposition, the history i
of the Ludlow team has uo special Influ
ence Iu giving character to the theory that
gray is the most desirable color In the
horse, because It Is associated with the
greatest longevity. A gray horse may be
hardy, nnd so limy a brown, a black, a
[chestnut or a gray.
Imi-kachmext.—Tho Washington eorJ
respondent of tho Boston Post says:
The statement that tho Judiciary Com
mittee will report In flivor of the Presi
dent's impeachment Is untrue. Mr. Wil
son, ilia Ulinlrman. who Is reported ns fa
voring Impeachment, will present the
principal report agniust It with the lega'
argument. Ills report, however, will coni
tain some strictures upon the conduct of
the President In certain particulars, to
which two members of the majority will
not assent, and tliey will present separate
Ireports only on the points alluded to in

Canada Prepari-xu von the Fenians.—
The Ottawa correspondent of tho Toronto

seized by tho United Stales Government tn
1800. but lately restored to tho Fenian
agents. About four thousand stand of
arms strived nt Potsdam; also a lot caval

take advantage of tho elections which are
to como off Iu New York shortly, and at
tempt a raid when both political parties
least desire to quarrel with them. A dis
