A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, By a proclamation on the 1511
and P.tth’of April, one thousand eight 'hundred
and sixty-one, the President of the Unitei
States, iti virtue of the power vested iu hilt
hv the Constitution and the Laws, declared that
tlie laws of the United States were opposed
Mini the execution thereof ohfAructed in tin
Stfites of South Carolina, Georgia, Ai.a

lying west of the Alleghany mountains, and o
such other part of that State and the other State,
hereinbefore named aa might maintain a loya'
adhesion to the Union and the Constitution, o;
might ho, from time to time, occupied and eon
trolled by the forces of the United States en
gaged in the dispersion of insurgents, were du
dared to be. in a state of insurrection against
the United States ; and
Whereas, By another proclamation of th. *
first day of July, 1802, issued in pursuance o
an act of Congress, approved June Tilt, in tin
same year, the insurrection was declared to lit
still existing in the States aforesaid, witli tin
exception of certain specified counties in tin
State of Virginia ; and
Whereas, By another proclamation, mad.
on the 2d'or April, 1863, in pursuance o
an act of Congress of July 18, 1861, tin
exceptions named iu the proclamation o
August 16,1861, were revoked, and the State,

oinia, designated ns West Virginia, and tin
ports of New Orleans, Key West, Port Royal
and Beaufort, In North Carolina, were de
dared to lie ill a state of insurrection again*’
the United States; and
Whereas, The Mouse of Representatives, oi
the 22d of July, 1861, adopted resolutions in
the following words, viz:
Resolved by the House of Representatives of
the Congress*of the l m/ed States. That tin
present deplorable civil war, has been force,
upon the {country by the diaunionists of tin
Southern States now in rebellion against tin
Constitutional Government in arms around the
Capitol; that In this national emergency Con
gress, banishing all feelings of resentment, will
do only its duty to the whole country; that
this war is not waged on our part in any spirit
of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest
or subjugation, nor for the purpose of over
throwing or interfering with the established
institutions of those States, hut to maintain
and defend the supremacy of the Constitution
and preserve the Uuioh, witli all the dignity
equality and rights of the several States unin.
paired; and, so soon as those objects ar
accomplished, the war ought to cease; and
Whereas, The Senate ol the United States,
on fjic 25th of July, 1361,--adopted a resolution
in the words following, viz:
|The resolution fails to reach h-..—En.j
Whereas, These resolutions, though no.
joint or concurrent, form one substantially
and may be regarded as having expressed th.
views of Congress upon the subject to whirl
tl,ev relate; and
Whereas, By ray proclamation of the Iff!:
of June last, the insurrection in th
grate of Tennessee w.v* declared to have been
sup pressed, and the authority of tlie Unitkt
States therein to lie undisputed, and sue!
United St ates officers vs had been duly com
missioned to he in the undisputed exercise o>
tlieir official functions; and
Whereas, There now exists no organized
sinned resistance of misguided citizens, nor
others, to tlie authority of the United
States in the States of Georgia, South Car
olina, Virginia, North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mis
sissippi, Texas, and Florida, and the law#
•ran be sustained and enforced therein by th -
proper civil authority, State or Federal; and the
people of the said States are well and loyally
disposed, and have conformed or will conform
in tlieir Legislatures to the condition of affairs
growing out of the amended Constitution of
i;hv United States, prohibiting shivery within
the limits and jurisdiction of the United
State*; and
Whereas, In view of tlie before recited pre
mises, it is the manifest detenniuutiflh of the
American people that no State, of its own will,
Lad the right or power to go out of, or separate
itself from, or he separated from the American
Union, and that, therefore, each State ought to
remain and constitute an jtilegral part of the
United States; ami
Whereas, The people of the several liefoie
merit hnied Stales have, in the maimer aforesaid,
been constantly giving satisfactory evidence
that they acquiesce in this important resolution;
mid
\Y iiebeas, It is believed to tie a fundamen
tal principle of government that a people
who have revolted ami who have been overcome
■and subdued must.be dealt with so iiw to induce
them virtually to become friends, or else they
must he held by absolute military power, so as
to prevent them from ever again doing harm us
enemies, which last named policy is abhorei.t
to humanity and freedom; and
WnEKEAS, the Constitfltion of the United
States provides for constitutional Common.
wealtW ortly as States and not its Territorie ,
and guarantees protection to them as such; and
Whereas, e»K-h constituted States must ne
cessarily lie, and by the Constitution and laws
of the United States, are made equals and
placed on a like footing as to political lights,
immunities, dignity, and favor with the. several
States w ith which they are united ; and
Whereas, the observance of political equal
ity as a principle of right and justice is
well calculated to encourage the paople of the
States to lie and become more and more pre
serving in their renewed allegiance; and
Whereas, standing armies, military occupa
tion, martial law, military tribunals, and the sus
pension of tlie privilege of the writ of habeas cor
pus, arc, in time of peace, dangerous to the public
interest, and incompatible with tlie individual
right# OJ citizens, and contrary to tlie genius and
spirit of out free institutions, and an exhaustion
of the national resources, and ought hot, there
fore, to be sanctioned or allowed, except incase
olwar, for repeliing invaders or suppressing in
surrection or rebellion; and
Whereas, The policy of the Gpverjjracnt of
the United States from the beginning of the
• insurrection to its final suppression has been
in conformity with tlie principles herein sit
forth and enumerated.
Therefore, I, Andrew Johnson, President
• of the United States, do hereby proclaim
. and deolare that the insurrection which hero
lofore existed in the States of Georgia, South
(CAKOLINA.NOKTn CAROLINA, V IRGINIA, LOUIB
- Alabama, Arkansas, M/hsissirpi, Tex
as and FEorida, is at an end, and henceforth
10 be so regarded.
111 testimony whereof, I have hereunto set m.v
hand and caused the seal of the United States
.to be affixed. Done at the city of Washing
ton, on the second day of April, in the year
of our Lord one thousand right hundred and
sixty-six, and of the independence of the
United States of America, tlie ninetieth,

A New Orleans Decision.— The following
very significant and important decision of Judge
Dttrell, in the United States Circuit Court at
New Orleans, in the case of the United States
against Harai Robinson, has just been publish
ed. The counsel for defendant offered a mo
tion that General Canby pay certain money
hold by him and claimed by delendant in court,
which motion the Judge granted. Mr. Good
loe, United States District Attorney, said he
did not believe Gen. Canbv would obey the
order. Whereupon Judge Durell held that
perhaps it would have been more safe if tlie
court had followed the opinion and example of
Chief Justice Chase, and not held a United
States court, in districts under military rule.
But as he had held the court under military rule,
believed he had the authority to maintain the
dignity of the court to its full extent; and if
General Canby, or any other high authority,
presumed to ignore the decree of of the United
States Circuit Court of this city, he would dis
charge the defendant on his own recognizance.
. POtITIOAL MORALITY,
If advised to indicate a course of reading to
intelligent young men, professional or uiilita- ,
rjan, few things In the range of literature Would
be so suggestive, weighty and pertinent for . ’
American youth as a calm investigation ci
opinions bequeathed us by tie master minds (
the "Republic, in days,’ when the halls of Co|- j
gross were the sanrtHariea Os high philosophy |
and dignified discussion. In reviewing these ;
solid authorities, a striking feature would be ] (
found iu the controversy, elicited by jarring
interests, concerning the origin of the Federal
Union, its structure, prerogativciand inten
tion. Among the extraordinary speeches of
that not very remote period, those of Madison, !
Pinkney? Randolph, Webster and Calhoun
are, perhaps, the more pronouncedly masou- ,
line and renmrkaMe. Practically, ami for a i
time, at least, the Southern argument which, j
contended fora Constitutional compact, State j
sovereignty, ti distinction between obedience t
and allegiance, between power and liberty— j
practically, ♦a say, the Southern atgutii -iu I
which, contended for these principles has mu
cumbed to bloodshed and “ weight of meat.”
Theoretically, that urgum-ut Was wholesome
and conservative. _ A tendency to consolidation
wna apparent in the North long ago. Its growth
has been that of years ; its culmination rapid
and destructive. This tendency the South per
petually opposed us damaging to her individual
interests and the general freedom of the Fede
ration. The -prophetic statesmanship of the
Past is hers almost exclusively; and not an
evil that afflicts the politic or endangers
popular rights in this generation escaped the
vision of her illustrious line. Webster him
self, just before his final translation, became
the victim of his section, and saw how little
of his own magnanimity or enlarged policy
was shared'by hi# constituents. He wits too
great, too wise and too lione-st to bend the knee
to Baal, and so, the very State, to whose glory
he had contributed the majesty of his genius
can find no onp so worthy to represent her as
Charles Sumner, and debated the plausibility
of hurling down his statue and erecting that ol
Beast Butler in its #tea<l. The whole South
cm argument presaged consolidation, forcaliM
dowing the ninliguiiut reign of corruption and
disaster as its legitimate aud inevitable conse
quence. A thousand extracts bearing on this
point could he presented, but space isnol avail
able, even If we had the disposition to weary
the reader yvith excerpts. \Ve refer the cttrioii.
and the earnest to the documentary evidence
furnished by the oracles of our golden era.
It has been the peculiar boast of New En
gland that, however debauched the rest of man
kind might be, her distinctive trait was a spe
cies of austere morality. A recourse to the
daily papers for items of social and coinmercmj
iniquity trill convince the most skeptical ol the
gmtui tons snafu re rtf this assumption. Witli
this branch of the question we have, at present,
nothing to do. Let us analyze, with becoming
brevity, the political side.
The recent case of Senator Stockton, is the
best criterion, not that it is more insulated oi
palpable, but because it ts Ireslier than any
other in the popular nteniovy. It will he recol
lected that Mr. Sumner affected a pious hor
ror at the indelicacy of the Jersey Senator nt
voting for himself. This has been already
elaborated In these columns and we again recur
to the subject, not for tin* purpose of repetition
but rather to make a (oliateral issue. In one
of the published debate# received at the time,
the .Massachusetts Solon is reported to have
exclaimed that Mr. Stockton’# conduct was
“against the law of nations.” Subsequently,
this version was found to be erroneous. He
really (said that it was “against tin* law of uu
lure." Now, here is a man, whose whole pub
lie life has been in antagonism to every natural
law, ejaculating against its infringement. Sue h
a monstrous accusation was enough to con
found Mr. Stockton, and it is UQt astonishing
that he should have abandoned that tela in the
confusion of an apology, and resorted to a ques
tion of precedent This precedent, however,
had a spice of the law of nature in it and as its
applicability was to thu Radical President of
the New Jersey Senate, who holds the balance
of power in ilia! legislative body, It was not
' wanting in puissance. thi.-> imputation nth*'*
exercised the 'fresident aim -aid and, on a
question <)f privilege, Le thus rebelled it. H -
said:
“There are eleven ltopubiican Senators and
ten Democrats in the New Jersey Senate,,hut
the President of the Senate did not vote for
himself. The senator from Monmouth, Mi-
Little (Democrat), cast his vote for Mr. Sco-
VTT.i. (Republican), who iiu-it voted lor Mr.
Little, which wn.-. in accordance yvith parli.i
mentary usage.'
Observe the sophistry of tin- explanatory
statement. Little tickles Sown ;. who, there
. upon, tickles i. ITTL?;. Through which nice ar
‘ rangenient ScOVjll satisfies the Jaw of nature
by a parliamentary dodge, and c,instructively
votes for hintsclf.
But the righteous Sumner when fought with
fire, turns blue with indignation and calls it a
trespass upon nature, in the case of Stock
ton it was all wrong to him; in the scurvy
trick of Scovij.l all fight. Where was the law
‘ of nature when Morrill was whipped into a
’ contravention of the plainest dictates as con
science and honor ? Hazlitt used to say that
~ there were two kinds of nature, viz: hmuan
nature and French nature. What a tit-bit would
that nimble and caustic author digest could be
have lived to experiment upon Radical nature.
It seems, hovftrcr, that there is a depth of
meanness, profounder even than Morrill’s
bottomless pit. Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
1 is the new Columbus iu this tremendous voy
age into liatlios, and fcgs the ignominious fame
of out Mot rilling Morrill. Senator Foster
la only a trifle less distinguished. Jhe Wash
* ington correspondent of tha Philadelphia Age
writes thus:
The Expulsion of Senator Stockton is
> the principal topic of conversation here to-day.
: The course of the Radicals in the Senate in vot
ing him out, for the manifest, purpose of in
(veasing their majority, is denounced by ail
fair-minded men. Stkwaut, of Nevada, is now
ranked below Morrill. The latter acted
mean enough, hut the conduct of the former
was, undoubtedly meaner. Mr. Foster, the
President pro tempore, also comes in for a share
of the glory in this sublime transaction. He
voted for Mr. Stockton on Friday last, but
j yesterday lie was very conveniently paired with
Mr. Morrill, who was also pa i nit ,vith Mr.
i Wright,
1 It appears that Senator Stewart had com
mitted himself to th« eligibility of Senator
' Stockton, hut terified by the iaeli of the des
potic Sumner, deliberately evaded bis coueri
’ entious duty by slinking out of the Senate
' Chamber just prior to tlio final vote, which re
sulted adversely to Mr. Stockton in oouse
; quence of his defection and that of Mr. Foster.
* Foster’s compounding witli honor was equally
’ discreditable. He did not resort to shifting hut
I
to shirking —by dishonestly pturng off with a
man who had already paired with another, to
' his everlasting and proverbial disgrace. The
5 law of nature, forsooth! If such are the stan
-3 dards of political morality or human faith, let
all decent inett pray to bo spared the discipline.
If such dogmas are to obtain, General Bank’s
' memorable exclamation At Arlington, is about
to he fulfilled. As ho stood with hostile battal-
on the Virginia shore, he said, pointing to
: the Capitol dome and totso of Washington’#
* monument, “ This is the cud of the American
' Republic !” Well may His Excellency the
*. President plant his sturdy foot against the
encroachment of such appostlcs and declare
e that lu: would “ take no bpel ward step." To
rescue the Constitution, the glory of tls<3 past,
the untarnished honor of the founders, v. e of
* the South will aid him as otic man. into what
0 pess-ppol of political infamy arc we drifting,
1 when the Radical disuniouists filch heaven’s
I livery for dev-ii worship? What will be our
character—what onr history, if the' country he
t J
moulded by such leprous hands? New Hatnp-
II shire ie lost; Connetient nearly so; Pennsyl
| vania uncerlaju; Western people guided by
New England men and money—the whole land

- LITTLE STRAWS.
It is very gratifj'ing to notice that, while con
servative journals over the laud seem meeting
a generous support from the people, there
>■ pverj now and then drops opt of being some
' Radical sheet. It being easier to attach ,than to
* defend, to carp than to support, and it being
- also the ease that these destructive papers are
* generally edited with ability, the failure of any
1 among them is a far better omen than even tlio
j starting of new, or success of old, conservative
) presses. Iu Memphis lately was issued, with a
‘ great blare of bugles, a straight out Radical pa
j per, hut now that paper is among the things
[ that were. It languished for a season, and,
l languishing, did live, hut is uow dead as Trojan
Hector. In Bt. Loui6, too, where it would
! have 6eeinod n hearty Radical support should
f not he lacking, such another sheet was recently
| begun, but now, woe upon woe, that paper in
turn has Bhut up shop—no longer stabs ut Lib
erty ; no longer paints and powders Despot
• f
ism’s haggartrtace. And yet another defection
from the ranks of Rimmon. In Chattanooga is
a paper called the Union, “designed”—we
learn —“ originally for an anti-administration 1 f
journal of the Radical school,” but now so far
changed for the better as to stand fair and
square by the Federal Constitution. And one
more still. In Washington City was, until of (
late, a certain little weekly, edited by Mrs. t
Swisbhelm, wlio, it will be remembered, was J
uoj long since discharged from a Government |
clerkship by reason of her much reviling the i
President. Being the month-piece of an aged 1
vyiiuan, we will not characterize this little j (
weekly, further than to say had *it been a J ]
man’s paper, it would have been a paper t
equally hide-hound, garrulous, and vindictive. '
in its way it did some damage, but Is happily
now no move, serving the world better by its
death than life, and making the fourth upon
that cheerful mortuary roll, we present, of de
funct Radical newspapers—a roll let us trust, as
we have some ground to do, that may speedily
wax far fuller than, for the good of the country,
it now is.
THE LATE SENATOR FOOTE.
In the death of Hon. Solomon Foot, United !
States Senator from Vermont, there passe# j
away one of those Northern politicians who, j
though long aud strenuously opposed to the j
South, were at least courteous opponents and |
well bred men. Prior to the war, we remember j
Mr. Foot as a suave and dignified member oi
the Federal Senate, looked up to by those with
whose peculiar opinions his own were in
accord, and receiving from even his bitterest
political opponent# that respect ability and
decorous bearing ever merit. Beginning life,
as so many eminent men have (lone, in the
humble capacity of a simple teacher, Mr. Foot
afterwards went to the Bar, prospered greatly
in that noble profession, aud reaped, from the
prime to the close of his days, those public and
legislative honors that so frequently crown tin
toils of the successful advocate. Fron 1850 hi
was successively re-elected to the Benate and
at, tin* time of liis death, had yet remaining an ■
unexpired term of three years to fill—making
it thus within one ol'a full score ol years that
the Senatorial choice of his native State, Ver
mont, had fallen on him. Who will succeed
him we arc not a3 yet aware and though, ot
course, it will he one of Radical convictions,
have, at least, to trust lie may temper his pub
lic conduct with that probity, decorum, and
fairness that marked his venerable predecessor,
THE 00NNE0TI0UT ELECTION.
The telegraph brings ns nothing aa to tin
Connecticut election. Late exchanges—deep
dyed radicals—claim a majority lor Hawley ot
850; but the result seems in doubt. Virtually
the Conservatives seem to have the day.
Stonewall Jackson: A Military Biography,
with a portvait and. Maps. By John. Esten
< ookformerly ol General Stuart’s Staff.
New York :D. Appleton Co. '
Cutting the leaves of this work, a copy of
which is kindly forwarded to us by the publish
ers, there eame vividly to mitid a certain sultry
summer’s day near Richmond, iu 1862, when it
was our honor to first see Stonewall Jack
son. Stretched along through tlie tall gras.-
the skirmishers were couched on one knee,
rides at the ready, waiting tlie word, Advance.
Just in the rear, regiment on regiment, brigade
on brigade were, shoulder to shoulder, in line
of battle, and from either flank eame tlie sub
dued rumble of artillery and clanking march ot
horse. Just before the battle opens men are
not apt to tie. over merry, and, beyond an occa
sional whiz of a Federal ininle and the low
hum of the line, there was on this day, we re
member, a strange and even touching stillness
in the air. Then, alj, at (nice, from the rear to
the front, men rose to tlieir places and the lines
began to • till; faces were turned toward the
road and it looked as though the word had
come at last. But not yet. Tlie hustle and
movement increased, tha hum deepened into
almost clamor, and then down the road eame a
i knot of horsemen. Nearer and nearer and at
| last, close to the skirmish line, there was Old
j Jack at the head of his stall. A rusty old cap
i upon his head aud a poor looking horse to hear
J his weight i humped up i« bis saddle, as usual,
! and, from head to foot, bn* a very ordinary
looking man indeed, lie peered about a little on
, tiiis side and on that, and then rode back as
I silent us lie came. There were no cheers to
* I greet him, but the roughest long-haired and
1 ' dusty-bearded soldier felt Hie better for that
| single look. The next time we saw General
Jackson lie was cold and pale jn tlie Virginia
| Capitol, with white flowers upon his breast and
• ! men that sighed and woman weeping roun 1
' about bis colrln.
Os Ids Life and t}je deeds that lie did therein tlii
book, that has brought u- some proud old
j memories, contains accounts most full and
graphic, it is written by John Esten Cooke,
I of Virginia, and fully sustains, in its literary cx
-1 i edition, the well merited reputation of that
| gentleman. General Jackson’s life is traced
1 j with accuracy, miiiujep.ess, and wre fjopi the
1 i days of his boyhood and unknown early yen.
' j jo the time when he fell iu tlie Wilderness,
' I steeped to tlie lips in glory. A handsomely

1 taken just before his death, prefaces the volume
' and lh<‘ text, which is rendered doubly valua
-1 ble by the iuaarpQfatipn of 'official papers, is
1 illustrated by several excellent maps. Writing
1 with a pen tipped by love, John Esten Cooke
has left nothing undone that, scholarship and
i affection can accomplish, while the bare mcn
-1 | turn of D, Appleton, Publisher, is guarantee
' j sos the* cream tinted paper, the clear typogry

Southern Relief Fair in London.—Mr.
! Mason, tlie ey Confederate Commissioner in
London, publishes the following letter in the
[ Times in support of the bazaar by the ladies ol
Baltimore in aid of those iu the Southern States
' who are suffering from the late war :
Sir : Will you allow me a brief space in your
columns to return my thanks to Mr. Herbert, a
, gentleman to whom 1 have not the good for
tune to be known, for ids letter in the Times ot
this morning, on behnlt of tire suffering people
of the Southern States of America ?
The “Ladies of Baltimore,” to whom lie re
' fers, have written to me also in regard to the
bazaar they propose to hold in that city for the
relief pf those in (1 quote from their letter) “tlie
different Southern States where they have sut
' sered the most from the ({gyggfating armies oi
- the North.”' With those ladles who are chiefly
in charge I have keen long and intimatply no
quainted. They are of those who, during the
whole war (although its devastations never
reached tlieir homes), ministered personally,
i old and young, to the prisoners in the hospital#
, of that city, and who, year after year, impover
ished themselves that they wight send relief to
’ Southern prisoners at a distance, so long held
j in confinement by the enemy. They are thus
trained and practiced in those paths of benevo
lence they still seek to explore. Nor could
funds intended lor such benevolence be con
fided to better or more judicious hands. In
s tlieir suggestions to me I have not felt at liberty,
. from a just sensibility, to appeal tp any but to
those few of my own countrymen in England
- who have any means left them. Yet, without
i violating such sensibility, it is perhaps due to
j | those ladies to say thnt any voluntary contribu
| tions in aid of tlieir noble efforts which may be
1 sent to tne shall pertainly reach them, with tin;
J names of tlie donors.
3 As to the suffering in the Southern States, it
, may suffice to say that in all those States
\ through which the invading armies passed, but
> chiefly in Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia,
, j whose districts of country were desolated and
f reduced to a wilderness, everything (lint coti
. ! duced to human sustenance destroyed, aptl those
1 there Inhabiting, many iu (litiuencb, all iq inde
, I pendenec, reduced to the absolute want of the
3 i bare necessities of life—a want none had ever
I known before, except when relieving it in other#
! from their own abundance.

we characterize as cheap villany:
To-day F. P. Stanton, of counsel for Lafay
ette C. Baker, stated in the Criminal Court
that Baker was present to receive sentence in
the case of the false imprisonment ot Mrs.
Cobb, known as a pardon broker, be having
been convicted in January. Mr. Stanton re
marked that if Mrs. Cobb had any title to the
money, the sum of two hundred dollars, of i
which it was alleged he robbed her, having
taken the money away front her at the time ol
her arre&t, and which he had previously marked
as a decoy, she had her remedy at law, but
counsel did not concede that she lmd any title
to it.
Judge Fisher, in passing sentence, addressed
Mr. Baker as follows:
You were indicted by the Grand Inquest for
the county of Washington, in November last,
upon a charge of false imprisonment. The iu
dictinent found against you contained two
counts. The first, a count for the false im
prisonment of Mrs. Lucy L. Cobit, and detain
ing tier adder arrest for some five hours, and
until she had paid you the sum of S2OO lor her
enlargement; and the second count for the sim
ple false imprisonment. To this iudietment
you pleaded not guilty, and put yourself upon
a jury of your country, who, upon a fair and
impartial trial, decided by their verdict that you
were guilty, as charged in the second count ot
the indictment, and not guilty ns charged in the
firal count. The effect of this conviction is,
substantially, ns I understand, that you were
technically guilty of that offense which is terrn
'cd salsa imprisonment. Denuded of the cir
cumstances of aggravation with which the first
count in the indictment sought to invest It, it
appeared in the evidence, to my satisfaction,
certainly, and 1 doubt not to the satisfaction of
the jury who convicted you, that the act with
which you were charged, and of which you
were convicted, was the result of the honest,
though it may have been an ill-advised endeav
or in the discharge of your duty as a prominent
detective, to discover by whom and by what
: means certain fraudulent and corrupt practices
•cere carried on against the Government ol
Ue United States in obtaining pardons from
tie Executive. Whether you were sue
sslul in that endeavor I know not,
•or is it necessary for the purpose ot this
ise that I should. Nor do 1 desire in any
, •■ av whatever to intimate the slightest snspi
! • ion that the party arrested was one of those
.ho were engaged in the bad business of ob
taining pardons by fraudulent or humoral
means, or by any indirection whatever. _ But
after fully and maturely, and 1 hope impartially,
considering all the circumstances of your ease,
I have come to the conclusion that though you
may have been guilty technically of the offense
of false imprisonment, there is not apparent in
it any circumstance of moral turpitude or ol
malice, or of such ill-treatment of the party
complaining as would warrant me in visiting
-upon yon a heavy punishment. The ease pre
sents itself to me in the aspect of one where an
officer of the Government, in a zealous effort to
discharge his ditty, may have been led by his
zeal to go a hair-breadth too far, and do an act
which, though it cannot be justified in law, yet
which, in a moral point of view, has dom* Tnuch
to mitigate the punishment. The sentence ol
• lie court, therefore, is, that you pay to the
United States a tine of $1 and the costs of pro
; seeution.
j Gen. Baker immediately complied with the
| sentence, paying the tine and costs, the latter, it
i is understood, amounting to about £">(>.
j District Attorney Carrington entered a nolle
j prosequi in the other indictment against Baker
J for the false imprisonment of Joseph R. Cobh,
[ and the three indictments against Spear for
false imprisonment and robbing ot Joseph F,.
j and Lucy Cobb.

Getting into Southern Society. t
The inquisition of fifteen at W'ashinglou,
! fearing tip* effect upon the public mind of the
testimony of General Lee and other Sontliern
i tiers who are familiar with the sentiment of the
i South, have hastened to flood the country with
! the evidence of General Terry. This officer
i starts out by stating that “I do not come in di-
I rcot personal contact with the people of Vir
ginia, * * * * and I have no
j social intercourse with any except those known
i to the Union people.” After Terry lias sworn
I that he does not come in contact \\ ill l the peo
ple of Virginia, lie proceeds to swear that they
; are very disloyal; and that they would gladly
| embrace an opportunity to secure their inde
pendence. General Lee, who is a Virginian,
| swears that they arc loyal, and would not avail
| themselves of the embroilment of the United
( States with a foreign power to renew their war
j against the Government. Who is the more re
f liable in this case, Lee or Jeryy 7 We need not
ask the question.
If we examine Terry’s testimony closely, we
j shall find the explanation of his hostility and
; that of many another in the
• South. He says there is the same hatred among
! Southerners, the same contempt for Northern
men th it there always wasf The \ iui.ninns do
not re !; him, he says, and i, would not become
; Ills position ns a commanding officer, nor con
sistent with his self respect, to seek them. In
other words, Terry very
that lie is chagrined over a failure to get into
Southern society. What is true, of Terry is
true of a great many other Federal officers in
the South; wid this chagrin finds vent before
j the Reconstruction Committee, in tf<* shape of
'.deadly hostility to, and intentional or uninten
tional misrepresentation of the South.
There are two points of prom'iicnae connect
ed wiih this question of admittance to Southern
society. Southern women entered upon the
1 contest for the independence of the South with
j an enthusiasm oi the opposite sc.x. The failure,
therefore, was more disastrous In Its reactionary
effects upon their feelings than it. was in the
i case of Southern men. The Southern women
• are more disappointed, more prostrated by the
t failure than the men. When to this is added
| the fact that almost ail those wo'iveii arc mourn
-1 mg for tljc loss of some relative, it can scarcely
! be expected that they would he willing to look
favorably upon men whom they cannot but re
; gard as the instruments by winch their’pride
lias been humbled, their hopes blasted, their
I property destroyed, and their fathers, sons,
lovers and brothers slain. These tacts are so
I glaring that the Federal officer who attempts to
force himself into the society of Southern wo
; men, or who indulges in chagrin because of
! failure in such an attempt, is a brute' in one
case and a fool in the other.
Suppose the ease reversed. Suppose that the
South had conquered, and that, to-day, the
North was a desert held bv Southern troops.
Would our wives and daughters wish to associ
ate with swaggering graybaeks who had been
i instrumental in reducing them to poverty and
; in depriving ilietp of their natural protectors ?
i We should regard onr women as coarse and tin -
1 feeling if they ventured to take any such
! course.
The other prominent point in this matter is
• that in Southern society, as in any other socio
] ty, a gentleman is admissaiile, whether he conies
I from Boston, Paris or Kamtsehatka. No gen
1 llcman will force himself intoaliouse of mourn
I mg, and propose a-game of euchre or a dance
; in connection with the obsequies «i the de
j ceased; and, in like manner, no gentleman will
j seek admission into Southern society until its
! people have buried their dead. In time, the
I dead will lie buried, the period of mourning will
\ he past., the bitterness pf reeqUoetion wifi tie
i come lessened, ami then the doors of Southern
| mansions will swing on oiled hinges for the
! entrance of the gentleman, regardless of his
j nationality.
j We cannot conscientiously promise, when
j that time arrives, that these doors will be wide
open to New England and the entire North.—
! Blatant Abolitionists, who offensively insist that
j the Southern Regress is the iptellactUHl and so
; cial equal of the Southern white woman, will
I find it as hard to get into Southern society then
I as they do now. This fact alone will probably
i bar the doors of Southern hopes against nine
: tenths of the Puritans. Respectable society in
: the South is like respectably society every
j where; it is an aggregation of sympathetic so
' rial elements, and it repudiates everything un
| couth, brutal andgiffensive.
What the United States Must Pay in
Two Years.—Mr. Schofield’s speech in the
. House of Representatives, qt Washington, on
the Loan Bill, contains the following interesting
statement: ,
“• hat is the amount of indebtedness to he
met, and when must it he met ? To this ques
tion I invite the careful and earnest attention of
the House. I shall give the official statement
of the amount of mir indebtedness, and also
that portion soon to bcepme due. The amount
of our public debt on the first day of this
month was $1,711,850,000. Less than half of
this amount is funded. Within the next three
years $1,000,000,000 of this debt will fall due
, and will bo presented at the counter of the
I Treasury Deportment for payment. That pay
ment must ho promptly*made, or our paper
goes to protest and our credit is broken. I
hold in my hand an official ti(h]e showing the
amount of our indebtedness that
i half year for the next two years, which after a
'■ word of explanation, I will read :
“ There was on the last day of February, 1866
| a portion of our debt in the form of a tempo
j rary loan t» the amount of 9119,835,194 50 pav
i able at the option|of lender after ten days’ nb-
I lice. It would hardly he fair to reckon thni
j whole amount as payable within the first six
months, yet as it may he called lor at any time
and is the least valuable form of loan, it must
| he added to the statement of indebtedness soon
| to he met. With this explanation, and suppos
j mg the payment of this loan to he demanded
| within the next six months, I eall attention to
| the tacts exhibited i>i the table.
I “ Between this day and the iiUth pf .Jqne next
we must pay, in addition to the regular expen
diture of the Government, $138,674,874 S 2
During the six months ending December 31
1866, we must pay $47,665,000. During the six’
/WS **’ 18<5 ?> ve luust nay
$8,471,000. During the six months ending De
cember 31, 1867, we must pny' $350,000,000.
During tiie months ending Juno 30 l a oß we
must pay $380,415,250. During the six months
ending June 30, 186 S, we must pay $360 415
250, During the six months ending December
31, 18uh, we must pqy $387,564,482. So that
between this and the assembling'of the next
Congress there must he pal'd oyer the counter
of the Treasury, besides the ordinary expendi
tures of the Government, $1,201,890,607 62.”
We h'ftn;, says the Home Oourier, that the
monster that frightened several families in
Kentucky, several weeks since, an account of
which was published last week, lias been strip
ed of Its hideousness and rtoiy ceases to he a
Wlldci- ll speuis that the device iyu* gotten
up lor the purpose of frightening some negroes,
with perhaps the incidental intention of rob
bing. To accomplish this purpose a light
frame work was made ip such a mnnper that n
man could walk inside of it and blow through
a tube coming out of the monster’s mouth, a
composition of phosphorus, sulphur, and, per
haps, saltpetre. The joke was a little too se
rious, but was played most admirably, •

COUNTY.—Considering the importance of the Court
soou to be organized, and the necessity of electing lit and
proper officers to execute and discharge in a creditable
and efficient mariner the responsible duties of the same,
it is, therefore, in this connection, respectfully suggested
and recommended to the Voters of this county that they
unanimously elect the Hon. EUGENIU3 L. KING to fill
the position of County Judge. A gentleman of fine ca
pacity, legal learning, practical good sense, moral worth,
firmness, decision of character, experience, honesty and
integrity, constituting him pre-eminently the right man
for the place. His eWtion would reliect honor upon the
county. Whilst it is conceded that Judge King is not,
and will not be, an aspirant or candidate for the office,
notwithstanding, if elected, we fell confident that he can
not refuse to accede to the wishes of his friends and fel
low-citizens, an«l will accept the position which will he so
cheerfully and vnanirnously tendered him. We therefore
bespeak for him the cordial support and indorsement of
every voter in the county ot

B£iT GEORGIA HOME INSURANCE COMPANY.—
It is with pleasure that we copy the following notice of
the above company from the Atlanta Sew Era. In this
community, its reliability, and promptness in immediately
paying all losses, is well known and renders it an institu
tion of pride to our citizens. Its officers are courteous
gentlemen, with years of experience in the business, to
which fact, coupled with their eminent fitness for the po
sition, its remarkable prosperity must be mainly attribu
ted. The Era says:
Acts SptAK Louder than Words.— We are gratified
to learn, on inquiry, that the Insurance Company which
paid so promptly its loss by the fire on tho corner of
Whitehall and Decatur streets, is a Southern Company,
and none other than that reliable institution of our State,
Tiif. Georgia llokr Insurance Company of Columbus,
of which Mr. Jno. C. Whitner is Agent. Tho payment
was made within twelve hours after the first cry of fire
was heard, whilst smoke was still issuing from tho ruins.
No third party came forward to sift and feel about for
flaws—but the agent issuing the policy also makes the
payment just so soon as satisfied of its justness.
Wc ask our merchants and citizens to note these facts.
The cry has been raised, that all Houthcru Companies
were totally ruined. The answer to this is, their invest
ments were made before the war* and were never chauged.
Their loss, therefore, was merely the protits and the labors
for four years—though some, like the Georgia Homp,
l have even come out better than they entered the war. It
is false that they are insolvent. A most remarkable feature
j of Southern Companies is the absence of “Special JLgents”
j and “Adjusters" to settle up losses. They go on tho pre
| sumption, that the man they appoint as agent is honest
1 and capable, sufficiently no to he entrusted with the re
| sponsible duty of making out a policy promising to pay
j \ou in case of loss, and sufficiently so as to jtay up losses
j when they du occur. When, therefore, you insure with
j them yopr last transaction is with the same man—your
j friend, your neighbor, your fellow-citizen—with whom
{ your first occurred.
I We do not mean to be sectional in our advice, hut we
do think when we can build up ourselves and our own
i people at the same cost and with greater advantage to
! ourselves, it is our duty to do so. There are a number of
J Southern companies represented hweo who are perfectly
j reliable.
j Call on that experienced Insurance man aud polite
j Southern gentleman, Mr. Whitner, at McCamy A Co,’s
j Drug Store, aud he will give you a list that will surpiise
! you.
