AUGUSTA. GA.
SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 6, 1866.
ASSERT YOUR RIGfITS.
0 ;
Listen to what that sterling sheet, the Mem
phis Avalanche, lias to say in writing on the
general subject of emigration from the South :
“ If there ever was a time when a Southern man
ought to lie at home, at work, watching the
interests of his people, contributing to the pul
sations of the great popular heart, earnest,
ardent, confident, true and. firm, that time is
now. One ballot now is worth a score of bul
lets a little while ago. One strong word that
carries with It a flow of influence now, is worth
the charge of a brigade. Moral power Is in de
mand. Thoughts are weapons. Time holds
the scale of victory ; and the people of the
South should remain true to themselves, stay at
home, light what remains of this contest at the
ballot-box, co-operate as Conservatives with
the Conservatives of the stand shoulder
to shoulder, unit-like, brave, unabashed, and
persistent In the assertion of right — right not
because it. is right, but as a matter of expediency."
These latter words arc put in italic letter as
being particularly worthy of attention. There
is much talk now about expediency—a yielding
to the exigencies of the occasion—a prudent re
ticence, and the like, and we are happy to see
that the Aralanche virtually joins with our
selves in condemning that mistaken line of ac
tion. The old controversy of the Honest and
the Useful —the an honestum, an utile of the
ancients and the schoolmen—is once more up
on us, and he who cares for the best welfaoc of
this people will cry aloud without ceasing
against this poisonous, time-serving, spigot- .
saving trimmerism. Nothing is to be gained
now by speaking with bated breath and in oily
phrases. The truth—the sonorous, manly, in
dejiendent,truth—should he proclaimed, en
forced, and stuck to on every occasion. Histo
ry now is mnking, precedents are forming, ad
missions are being recorded, and it is our
first sacred duty to see that the same scoun
drels who openly oppress us shall not do us, by
covert knaverv, the yet further damage of inak
lug us appear to connive at our own shame, in
jnrv, and loss. Despotism is, for the most
part, cowardly, and intelligent despotism is al
ways so. This sort of tyranny it is which seeks
to place the whole people of America under its
cloven feet. It knows its own base ends fully,
aud adapts, with fearful cunning, the menus,
whereby it would work, to those ends. But in
so aiming and so striving, it seeks, above all
things, to conceal the real animns of its pur
pose and its efforts. A deliberate and avowed
attempt to erect a consolidated oligarchy on
the ruins of personal liberty and pol.tical free
dom in tbtycountry, could not stand for a day 1
against the outbreak of wrath such a revelation
would, North and South, awake. But, work
ing in secret, daubed over with high sounding
phrases, decked, like some poor fallen wo
man, inch deep, with paints and powders, pig- i
inents, patches, and perfume, glittering with 1
gewgaws, aud on a bl&ze with showy tinsel, 1
there is a chance that this thing may be foisted 1
upou the general acceptance of the People:— 1
And for this reason it is we are happy to hour -
this voice of warning come up from Tennis- -
see, and more than happy to add our own te*- 1
limony in the matter. < '
The people of the South must assert thetf 1
rights—plant themselves fair and square ou tlth '•
rocks of justice—ask for nothing but what js
right—submit to nothing that is wrong—take
the unmistakable position that they are i|'ot
criminals and will not, so long as the bayonet
is not rammed to its shank down their throats, c
permit themselves so to be called or treated' <
without a righteous and deep toned demurrer. 1
Taking this position and standing up to it, un- 1
tiinchingly, they will find that just as Honesty i
is the best Policy, so Courage can pluck Safety <
out of Danger. A stout bearing will make in-, i
justice abate its preteusions, for injustice hates
the light and, even where strong enough to ac- 1
complish its end by open violence, will often,
for very cowardice aud shame, shrink from a ]
deed it would leap to execute could it do so in
obscurity and silence. Stand to your colours, (
then, men of the South. You did not want to ;
belong to the Federal Union. You had no de
sire to be subject to the Federal Constitution
aud Laws. Against your will and your efforts
yon were brought into the one and made sub
ordinate to the other. But being in, demand
the rights as well as the duties of Unionship—
being subject, demand the protection ns well as
the subordination of the Statutes at Large and
the Federal Compact. No matter if the demand
be useless—now it very probably will be use
less—but still make that demand, on every occa
sion, and thus,time alter time, throw the onus of
denied justice where it belongs. If tyranny is to
come don’t help to cloak its villainous deformity
by any sort of implied acquiescence—stripit, by
protest after protest, trumpet-tongued to the
world, of its last rag of raiment, till it stand
forth naked and shivering to the, scorn of
all humanity. Despotism, like lust, hates the
light—loves the darkness—needs to be pamper
ed and robed and incensed with adultation—
cut it off from the conditions of its rank luru
riance and it will wither and shrivfel and die.
The Aristocracy of Crime.— A BostArfl cor
respondent says shoddy and petroleum now
hide their heads before the surpassing luxuri
ance of the bogus growth pf wealth obtained
from burglary —burglary confessed, gloried in,
unpunished, and lavishly rewarded.- We have
in our vicinity two members of this class of
wealthy men. One is Charley Adams, the rob
ber of the Concord Bank, who,afterall the hub
bub made over his detection, has settled down
for lift with an independent fortune, on the
snug farm which he made the base of his opera
tions against the bank-safe, and drives a splen
did span, with the bride whom his successful
speculation has enabled him to marry within a
month past, envied by all her poor and honest
neighbors. The other is Horace Annls, the
hero of the still bolder operation, which carried
a million and a half of money in broad daylight
from the counting-room of a purblind New
York broker, and who has been here within
the week, brazen in the security from arrest
which was one of the terms of his bargain, and
boasting to the admiring detectives and sport
ing men who are his familiars, of the cool hun
dred thousand which he carries in his pocket as
the result of his speculation.
Refusing to Bcry their own Dead.— The
Frcedmen’s Bureau for the District of West
Tennessee has given notice to the city authori
ties of Memphis that the Bureau will no longer
relieve the city from the responsibility of bury
ing its own colored paupers.
The unfortunate negro who is old or infirm
now realizes the meaning of the President’s
words, “the colored people will soon find out
who are their real friends.” As long as Sambo.
is strong and healthy and able to earn wages,
the Bureau is his good friend —he is able to pay
charges and to contribute to the luxury of the
assistant commissioner; out the poor devil that
has beeu decoyed from a comfortable home,
without the pith in his arms to earn his daily
bread, is thrust away from the precincts of the
Bureau, and his corpse left upon the wayside
like the carcass of an animal, to be buried by
the tardy officers of the corporation. ' What
language would now be more appropriate in the
mouth of such a misguided wretch, appealing
in vain before the paupered commissioner of
freedmen, than that addressed to the robbers by
4 Valentine, in Shakspeare’s “Two Gentlemen of
Verona:”
*<Mv riches are these poor habiliments,
Os which if you should here distumish me,
You take the substance and the sum 1 hat u .
[Richmond Whig.
THE Cabinet.— President Johnson,
savs the New York Herald, is beginning his
reconstruction of the Republican party at the
wrong end. It is all very well to remove Radi
cal postmasters and Chase revenue officers;
but these changes will be unimportant udless
they are Accompanied by the removal of the
Radical members of the Cabinet. The way to
kill the hydra of Northern rebellion is to chop
off its heads, instead of wasting time in trim
ming off the little end of its tail.
Colored Men Excluded from Boston
Theatres.— The theatrical managers in Boston
have combined to keep colored people out 6f
the places of amusement, notwithstanding the
recent law on the subject. As only a nominal
fine is imposed for breaking the law, and their
licenses are not affected by the exclusion, they
think they can successfully resist the law.
Our Paris Correspondence.
Paris, April 13,1866.
To the Editor of the Constitutionalist:
Sir : Thursday, the 13tli of April, will ever
remain memorable in the annals of the Bourse
: of Paris. Public securities, French and fbreign,
fell to a tqrrible low ebb, and one would have
almost thought that we had returned to the
time of the commencement of the Crimean
war.
The following reports were being circulated:
. Prussia had just signed an offensive and defen
: give treaty with Italy; war would shortly be
! proclaimed between Austria and Prussia; a
: Turkish, array to the amount of sixty thousand
men, was marching ou the Danubian Principali
ties. So much for foreign affairs.
As regards home matters, it was affirmed
that a general bankruptcy was imminent, and
that two of the greatest stock brokers of Paris
were about to suspend, and, finally, that the
Credit Mobilier and the Comptoir d'Escompte
were in a most disastrous state. There is evi
dently a nmlaire every where, and none can tell
what a day may bring forth.
GENERAL BELIEF IN WAR.
War, it is believed on all sides, is Inevitable,
as the first of the two German Powers which
draws back is sure of losing its influence for
ever. Bismark, who wishes to play the part of
Cavour in Prussia, will never give way. Italy,
which is driven into a corner by want of money,
will not let such a favorable opportunity go by
without attempting to regain Venetia. You
see we have every reason to fear that Prussia,
Austria and Italy will have recourse to war, to
“ cover their multitude of sins ” at home.
STATE OF HOME AFFAIRS WITH US.
We are even more conscious about the turn
that matters will take with us. It will be a
wonder if the reactionary tendencies on the
part of a great many supporters of our Gov
ernment do not urge the people of France to
‘extreme measures. We are looled so to the
top of our bent.
DISCONTENT IN THE ARMT.
The enthusiasm for the Empire seems to
have, much abated in the array since the decree
of last year reducing the army' expenditures.
On the 7tli of March a grand review of the
artillery and cavalry was held in the Bois de
Boulogne, in presence of the Emperor and the
Crown Prince of Denmark; but the usual
cries of Vive l' Empercur were, we remarked,
few and far between, and we are assured that
H. I. M. was very much vexed at the coolness
of his reception.
DIVERS INTRIGUES.
Our Emperor is at present in a fix, and does
not know whom to listen (o. Some of his
entourage wish him to grant the fullest liberty
to the nation ; others beg of him to tighten the
reins, and prevent the esprits inquiets , os he
calls them, stirring either hand or loot.
The general opinion in the pulbic is that the
present ministry cannot stand much longer,
and that Mone. Rouher will take the lead, fol
lowed by M’ons. du la Valette, Minister of the
Interior, who are completely worn out, by
incessant work of the most thankless kind;
besides which, Mons. La Valette is longer no
in the good looks of his master, for having
allowed the public press of France to publish
such flattering accounts of the exiled family of
Origins, when giving a description of the
fufliSi'al of Marie Amelie,. ex-Queen of France, 1
As ill luck would llave it, a number of the
Evtnement , a penny paper, fell into the hands
of nie Majesty, containing a laudatory article
on (the 1 pretender to the throne of France;
the«Oonitc de Paris, his anger knew no bounds,
and,accused the Minister of the Interior of
wife inj&ft the picadillos of the press.
A ifeWjdays later an anecdote published in the
Figaro, one of our comical bi-weekly papers,
was 1 he cause of an energetic repritnand to the
editor, tlie Villemessant, at the instigation
of the Prussian Envoy. The anecdote pub
lished by the witty journal is as lollows :
Count’Bismark was a few days ago unpleasantly
surprls ed, when wishing to get out of w rail way
carriage, to find that some political non-syra
patliizejr had nailed the, door; the ambitious
Premii sr tried in to wet out of his prison,
but to no effect, and the train started again
without, anybody coming to his rescue. The
police have for some time been looking for the
perpetrator, hut in vain. We hear that the
guard lhas been dismissed for having allowed so
great a man to remain nolens volens in durance
vile.
I shall soon have done with politics. The
elections in the Lower Rhine will begin in a
couple of days. The Government does not fed
the latent, advices from Strasburg Inform
us that the opposition candidate, >lons. Saboul
age, lias met with a most cordial reception on
the part of the Alsatians, and that it will in any
way be a h ard run for the Government man,
Mons. de Bussiere.
The Gourde Cassation a few days ago decided
that persons maybe prosecuted for libelling the
memory of (lie dead. Things are indeed come
to a very pretty pass and "the occupation of the
historian is- none." In speaking of Marat, we
shall have to say that he was a kind hearted,
amiable man ; of Robespierre, that be was a
perfect lamb, and the Monster Booth was the
milk of human kindness, if we do uot wish to
render ourselves liable to an action on the part
of the descendants of the same. We shall soon
not know what to write about in France.
monsieur MIRES.
Mires, tlie banker and' martyr, the object of
so many persecutions, is now on his legs-again.
Two days ago more than four thousand of Mires’
’shareholders were assembled in the Cirque to
hear his statement. The clever Hebrew specu
lator was received with thunders of applause,
and it was more than a quarter of an hour be
fore he could address his numerous audience—
when, at last allowed to speak, he begged of
the shareholders to authorize him to purchase a
journal, whose aim it should be to defend their
interest, and expose to the public in general the
conspiracy which had tried to crush him. He
refused to accept the Offer of the shareholders
to pay off his t debts. Before separating, the
enormous sum of fifteen hundred thousand
francs were subscribed in order to enable Mires
to carry out his intention of purchasing a pa
per. *
Renau, the author of the Vie de Jesus, will
shortly give us his Apostles. It is thought that
this new work wil* not be so successful as his
first, as it is said to be inferior to it in every re
spect.
REVOLUTION AT THE OPERA.
I fear the frivolous care a great deal more for
wliat is now going on at the Academie de Mu
seque, than for Mons. Renan’s last publication.
Up to the present time, the Parisian opera
has been under the mnnappement of the State,
with a grant of three hundred thousand francs.
Tiiis will now be withdrawn and the theatre
given over to private speculation. There are
now several candidates for the directorship, but
nobody has as yet been chosen ; it is thought
that the lot will fall to Mons. Haussinan, as the
Emperor cannot refuse him anything. The
saying in Paris is now everything will be
Haussmanized before long. It is true Mons.
Haussman is a great man and has done much
to beautify the finest capital of the world.
Now that the balls have disappeared, the la
dies of Paris have resort to a new dodge to
show off’their toilettes. The latest is the fancy
bazaar, for charitable purposes, where the
dames de la. fashion take the place of shop
keepers, and sit for hours selling pen-wipers,
and lamp-mats, which are quoted at rather high
rates.
We notice with regret that the costliness of
female dress-is rather increasing than other
wise, and that not Only the dress-maker but the
jeweller are gainers by the great extravagance
of the fnir sex.
Os course the device of the fair state-keepers
is Fe ne changerai pas.
Bad Cotton Seed—Sick of their Bar
gain.—The Middle Georgia News, of the
published In Madison, says :
i We understand the planters in Morgan coun
■ ty are becoming greatly excited about the de
cayed cotton seeds. The supply of seed is very
; short and they are failing to come Up. The
i Northern farmers who have purchased farms
! hi -this country Arc becomiug disheartened
i their hailds have had the small-pox, some of

cause them to apprehend a disappointment.

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS ON THE 30TH.
In the Senate Mr. Fessenden reported from
the Reconstruction Committee the joint resolu
tion and hills already published. Mr. Howe
reported a joint resolution for the pureliase
of the library of James L. Petigrew, of South
Carolina, for the Law Library of Congress.—
The bill to authorize the construction of a
bridge across the Mississippi at Quincy, Illinois,
came up. Mr. Grimes offered an amendment,
authorizing the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad to build a bridge at Burlington. Mr.
Henderson offered an amendment, authorizing
the construction of a bridge at Hannibal,
Missouri. The amendments were adopted and
the bill was passed. The bill making the appro
priations for the Post Office Department being
called up, Mr. Trumbyli offered an amendment
limiting the payment of salaries to those who
have been confirmed by the Senate. The con
sideration of the bill became a running debate
on the constitutional prerogatives of Congre"s
and the Executive, and the Senate adjourned
without taking action.
In the House the call of States being com
pleted, the next business in order wus the con
sideration of the resolution offered by Mr.
Julian, on the 29th of January', declaring, as
the deliberate judgment of this House, that
the .speedy trial of Jefferson Davis, for the
crime of treason or the other crimes of which
he stand? Charged, and his prompt execution,
if found guilty, are imperatively demanded by
the people of the United States, in order that
treason may be adequately branded by the na
tion, traitors made infamous, and the repetition
of their crimes, as far as possible, be prevented.
Mr. Julian addressed the House in support of
his resolution, after which it was referred to
the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Stevens, from
the Committee on Reconstruction, presented
the report agreed upon by that committee,
comprising the proposed amendment to the
Constitution, the bill to provide for the restora
tion of the States lately in rebellion to their
full political rights, aud the bill declaring
certain persons ineligible for office under the
Government of the United States. He
moved ftiat they be printed and made special
orders respectively for Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of mext week, which was agreed
to. Mr. Btevens reported a bill making appro
priations for the use of tho Freedmen’s Bu
reau, for the year, which was read twice and re
ferred, and made the special order for to-day.
The bill appropriates in all $11,584,.500. Mr!
Stevens offered a substitute for the bill intro
duced by him December 20, and referred to the
Committee of the Whole on the State of the
Union, to double the pensions of those who
were made pensioners by the casualties of the
late war, to pay the damages done to loyal men
by the rebel government and rebel raiders, and
to enforce the confiscation of the property of
the enemy, which was ordered to be printed.
The River and Harbor Improvement hill came
up for consideration, and Mr. Eliot addressed
the House at considerable length in its favor.
The bill was passed. A personal explanation
from Mr. Blaine, in relation to the late charges
brought by Mr. Conkling against Provost Mar
shal Gen. Fry occupied the attention of the
House. A letter from Gen. Fry was read, to
which Mr. Conkliug replied. On motion, of
Mr. Hubbard, a resolution was adopted ap
pointing a committee to investigate the state
ments made against the Provost Marshal Gen-'
eral’s Bureau by Mr. Conkling, and also the
statements made by Gen. Fry in his letter to
Mr. BlainC.
The Washington correspondent of the N. : Y.
Times, under date of 30th, reports the follow
ing :
THE FREHDMBn’S BUREAU.
The appropriation bill for the Freedmen’s
Bureau for the current year, introduced to-day
by Mr. Stevens, makes its appropriations in ac
cordance with the estimates of Gen. Howard’s
annual report, the amount being slightly in ex
cess of eleven millions of dollars. Gen. Howard
regards this bill as fur more necessary to the
usefulness and vitality of the Bureau than any
act to.prolong its existence beyond one 'year
from date. As matters now stand, the Wnr
Department can no longer fu'rjiish supplies of
food and clothing and medical stores to the
Bureau vithout an appropriation, and in con
sidering this bill the very important fact must
be boj-ne ip mind that one-half, perhaps even
more, of the money most necessarily be ex
pended upon suffering and destitute white peo
ple, the class known in the records of the Bu
reau as refugees, including also an immense
.number of families who are without food and
raiment, until tbs maturing of the crops but
just planted. Already in Alabama, Arkansas
nnd in some portions of Georgia and Mississippi,
the number ot white persons receiving Govern
ment aid is largely in exefcss of the number of
blacks who receive like aid, and the necessity
for thus feeding this class is imperative. They
mu*t have the aid or die of starvation. They
have absolutely nothing to live upon until their
crops mature, and the State nnd local authori
ties cannot or Will not provide for them. There
come to the main office of the Bureau here
piteous appeals for help from hundreds of quar
ters ; and though some of the items in the hill
may be cut down. Congress and the public
should understand that its provisions are prac
tically and absolutely as much for the benefit of
the suffering white as fbr the suffering black.
From the Herald's correspondence of same
date, we have the subjoined items:
THE POST OFFICE APPROPbAtION BILL IN THE
SENATE.
The Post Office Appropriation bill, fixed as
the special ordeT In the Senate to-day, was
brought up by Senator Sherman. A verbose
discussion ensued on an amendment to restrict
the appointing power of the President, nnd re
quiring all vacancies to be filled at once when
such exist during the session of the Senate, in
stead of del (tying them until the vacation. The
amendment also allows no compensation to offi
cers appointed until confirmed by the Senate.
This is a very fine specimen of Radical legisla
tion. The question will be asked, where are
the funds for the administration of such offices
to cgme from ? And is the incumbent to be the
loser of his time and money if not suitable to
the caprices of a crew of partisans ? The
amendment also alms to take the power of
removal out of the hands of the President and
place it in the control of Congress. Tire prac
• tlcal working of this will give the Senate an
amount of labor they do not seem to bargain
for, and will degrade the body into a mere job
bing establishment to appoint or remove offi
cers.' Reverdy Johnson made a logical speech
against the measure, showing to the most ob
tuse the natural results of the contemplated
action. Mr. Trumbull spoke In favor by beg
ging the question or straining nnd distorting
common sense to suit his purpose. Sherman,
though he favored the hill, was opposed to the
amendment. Henderson and Sumner also spoke
in favor. Towards the close of the discussion
the body fell into a fog.
The peroration of Mr. Davis’speech on the
Civil Rights bill being the topic of a conversa
tional debate, the Senator advanced some cu
rious explanations for what he had said and
made assertions rather difficult to swallow-. A
general melee of word* arose, in the midst of
which the body adjourned.
REPORT OF THB RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE.
Benator Fessenden has recovered from his
receiit illness, and was in his seat to-day.. The
first act of the Senator’s return to duty was the
presentation from the Committee on Recon
struction of a joint resolution, and Certain bills
already published at length. He also stated
that the report in detail of the committee was
delayed, but would be forthcoming in a short
time.
Thad. Stevens rose in his place leisurely this
morning and disposed of the Reconstruction
Committee’s report in a manner which showed
he was glad to get the matter off his hands tem
porarily. The constitutional amendment fe
made the special order for Tuesday week, and
the bills for the two succeeding days. There
was very little stir over the report, because it
had been pretty thoroughly discussed on Sun
day. There is a settled cenviction among the
majority of the Republican side that the new
plan won’t do. If the previous question had
been moved upon the report this morning, ns
its framers at first proposes, probably it would
have been rejocted by •the House. What its
chances will. be undsr a week’s delay, with a
strong outside pressure against it, may be
Imagined. The fact that the report was not
accompanied by any testimony or explanations,
verbal or written, is suggestive. They propose
to see how it takes before talking or writing
much about it. Thad. was warmly congratu
lated by many members after he had got the
report well off his hands.
the new tax bill,
reported last week, and of which a synopsis
has already been given, provides in case it shall
be ascertained that the annual inventory or any
other list which may have been, or which shall
hereafter be delivered to any collector, Is imper
fect or incomplete, in consequence of the omis
sion of the names of any person or parties
liable to any tax or duty, or in consequence of
any omission, understatement, undervaluation,
or false, or fraudulent statement, the assessor
may, from time to time, or at any time within
one year, enter on any inventory or special list
the names of such persons or parties so omit
ted, together with the amount of the. tax for
which they may have been or shall become
liable ; and also the names of the persons or
parties over and above the amount lor which
they may have been or shall be assessed on any
returns so made.
BEQUEBTBATED PROPEBTT IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
All persons In the department of South
Carolina holding real or. personal property,
goods, chattels, stock bonds, mortgages, notes,
bills or assets of any kind, sequestrated by the
late so-called Confederate authority, have been
ordered to report the same in writing to head
quarters of that department without delay,
specifying the kind and amount of property se
questrated, the time and place of sequestration
and the name of the original owners, and of
any parties through whose bauds such property
may have passed since its sequestration.
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
The public debt statement to be issued in a
day or two will show a decrese of about six
million during the month of April.
