THE TEREITOEIAL SCHEME—OONFIg-
OATTON,—UNIOH.
Mr. Chablus Sumner has opened his scrap
book, and from i tß pages selected
a tale ofhorror by a “Texas correspondent,”
whose name he refused to reveal. On the
strength and ipse dixit of this anonymous scrib
bler, who may have somo personal spite to
avenge or a devilish lust of mischief to gratify,
Mr. Sumner erects a tumid argument to prove
the South still rebellious, unsafe, and altogether
diabolical. Wherefore, he proposes to resolve
this contumacious South to a territorial condi
tion. If disembodied spirits have any sympathy
with mundane affairs and auy pride in the work
of their intellects when in tho flesh, how must
the souls of Washington, Madison, Jeffer
son, Adams, Webster, and all tho illustrious
lino of statesmen gone bofore-how must they
grieve to witness perversions of their doctrine
a and desecration of their deeds by latter-day
of the now Radical dispensation. Had
Union and Constitution shriekern

through Radical duress,
implements of husbandry and the
of peace. Nobody cares for citizenship, as
ms the ease stands, and, for benefactions enumera
ted above, very few would object to have a bona
fide Territory rather than an indigested State.
As to Confiscation, wo apprehend but little
trouble on that score, so long as tho President,
retains his office. When his office shall have
been declared vacant, it will be time enough to
fear Confiscation: but so long as his functions
are not absolutely destroyed, ho wields a tre
mendous power which the Radicals wisely fear
and have failed to intimidate. The only way to
thoroughly annihilate his influence for imme
diate and practical good is to deprive him of the
power of amnesty. A bill to effect this would,
by law, remain in his possession for ton days.
During those ten duy3, what is to prevent Mr.
Johnson from Issuing a proclamation of gen
eral amnesty ? Had he done so, one year ago
Conservatives would not have tho odium oi
Mr. Raymond aud his- address to tolerate, but
a formidable party would have arisen with vital
organization to coalesce all fragmentary cliques
North and South, which heartily desiro restora
tion but quarrel and fight ovey expedients and

country; while thero is contention there can be
no union; while there is no union there is
neither solid strength, material prosperity nor
broad social integrity. Mr. MoOullooh, Se
cretary of the Treasury, eogeutly sums up iu bis
report the modus operandi of relief viz:
“ First. In compelling Uie national banks to
redeem their notes at tho Atlantic cities, or,
whaT'would be better, at a single city.
“ Second. Iu a curtailment of the currency
to Mie amount required by legitimate and
healthful trade.
»Third. In It careful revision of the tariff,
for the purpose oi harmonizing it with our in
ternal taxes—removing the oppressive burdens
now imposed upon certain branches of indus
try, and relieving altogether, or greatly reliev
ing, raw materials from taxes, in order that tlis
product of labor may be enhanced and produc
tion and exportation Increased.
“ Fourth. In the issue of bonds, payable in
not over twenty years, and bearing Interest at
the rate of not over five per cent., payable in
England or Germany, to an amount sufficient
to absorb the six per cent, bonds now held in
Europe, and to meet the demand thero for ac
tual and permanent investment; and —
“ Fifth. In the rehabilitation of the Southern
States.”
All these arc full of pith, but had the Hon.
Secretary confined himself to the fifth clause
alone, the balance might never have been enun
ciated; for upon the fifth clause all the others de
pend.
We are now passing through a fiery ordeal.
Let us bear it like true men. By such fortitude
shall we be saved. God, In bis wisdom, fre
quently raises up the foolish things of this
world to confound tho wise, and wisdom can
afford to wait until folly has exhausted its ven
om and abuses, its malice and despair.
THE MEXICAN MUDDLE.
A few days ago, the Emperor Maximilian
■was, apparently, in despair of his crown and a
fugitive from lilb empire. Now, if we are to
credit telegrams or correspondence, the Church
party has induced hitn to remain and bolstered
his credit to the extent of $20,000,000, not in k
greenbacks, but coin. Beside, his armies are
reorganizing under Miramon and Mejia and
a vigorous campaign determined upon. It
seems that the Church parly, having a whole
some fear oi Juarez, who would rapaciously
seize upon any property, portable or otherwise,
has become reconciled to Maximilian and will
sustain him to the utmost. This puts a new
face upon affairs and gives Gen. Sherman food
for reflection.
Were we to assert that this uproar about the
sacredness of the Monroe doctrine was a farce,
it would be put to the account of Rebel falsifica
tion. It so happens, however, that the Herald
which, corrupt as it may be, is famous for ex
posing the corruption of others, has let the
light enter upon a nefarious scheme of plunder
engineered by officers high in the Govern
ment and sanctioned by the Government itself.
According to the Herald there are the “ Jalapa
Railroad," the “ Orizaba Railroad,” the “ Seward
Express Transportation Company,” the “ Low
er California Company,” for which money has
been paid for in advance ; tho“ Great Tehuante
pec Route,” the grant of which was given by
Juarez to a clerk in Mr. Seward’s department;
“Mr. Clarence Seward’s Mexican Express,”
and several others of the same character—how
many is not known.” In many cases large
sums of money have already been paid, and in
others the bonds of the Mexican Republic were
taken upon a pledge from J uarez that he would
give the holders certain grants and privileges
when the permanency of the Republic was se
cured.”
The Tribune is equally explicit and de
nounces the scheme and the schemers.
These revelations from purely loyal oraclos
exhibit an extraordinary kind of jobbing for so
great a Republic ns the tfnited States, and in
nocent people can now comprehend why an
expensive force is established upon the Rio
Grande, why Gen. Sheridan cau call Maxi
milian an “ Imperial buccaneer ” and write in
sulting letters to Ortega, the constitutionally
elected President. Who would believe that a
mongrel Mexican could bribe the United States
nnd “ log roll ” Us notables ? It is not now a
question as to Monroe doctrine or anything of
the kind, it is simply a game of plunder, un
dertaken for the benefit and monopoly of cer
tain influential parties and for whose emolu
ment much eloquence is sanctimoniously ex-
pended and a foreign war invited. The Tribune
advises the payment of millions to these ex
tortionate companies rather than “ meddle aud
muddle. This is a melancholy showing for
the moral idea men and forces us to conclude
that the South’s chances for restoration and
“republican form of government,” can only
be graduated by her ability—to pay.
IN LUCK. • '
Living by sensation, the Radical party must
collapse without morbid nutriment such us a
Memphis or New Orleans riot, not to mention a
first class outrage upon freedmen, which never
happened save in the wonder-working brain oi
a special correspondent. Until very recently,
that party has languished for its accustomed
pap. But, lo! the zeal of Mr. Seward lias
gone the length of purveying, and the raw beef
which Herr Lensel throws to his “ ferocious
wild beasts ” is not more succulent a morsel
The arrest of John Surratt revives the dismal
era, consequent upon the martyrdom of Liy.
COLN, and gives the Tribune, Pi ess and Tim is
fresh appetite for Wood and torture. We can
not believe that Surratt was foolish or devil
ish enough to implicate Mr. Davis and his dead
mother. Such monstrous assertions are incred
ible. Undoubtedly, a new Sandford Conover
will be forthcoming to prove anything neces
sary, but, for the sake of decency, we trust these
bald falsehoods will bederied. If tried by a
civil tribunal, it will be difficult to hang Suit
katt. He will, probably, have no such benefit,
but, if there be a judge, Mr. Holt is convenient
and Underwood can pack a jury, at so much
per head, from the unwashed multitude. Sou
ratt will be treated with the distinction due a
great prisoner of State, not bothered with a
trial, but Dry-Tortugased without.
Important Decision.— The Salisbury Banner
says it is reported that “ Governor Worth has
been notified by General Sickles, military com
mandant of that department, that there shall i t
no more corporeal punishment in North Caro
lina for any cause.”
Mark that— '•'for any cause.” Mothers and
schoolmasters will please take notice. It would
be worth while investigating whether General
Sickles is interested in Mrs. Winslow’s Sooth
ing Syrup—or not. “Mo mo™ r .,.„
ishment!” Fudge! We wager that every fond
parent in North Carolina will administerdoubk
dosos ot spanking', till the notification of Gen.
Sickles he revoked. Unhappy babes of the
uursery! Unlucky .urchins at Dotheboys Hall!
This is au argument a posteriori, and from ii--
origin, evidently “ Sicklier! over with the pale
east of thought.”

Letter from Atlanta.
•Atlanta, Ga., December 9th, 1866.
Hesurgam. That means we are shaking off
the ashes, and a brief run through the city will
convince even a stranger that it is so. We are
arising lrotn the forlornness of the condition
in which the war left us; and, even now, we
have more houses, and finer ones, more mer
chants and better ones, more people, especially
of the genus “ men and brothers/’ than we ever
had before.
Under the present constitution of the State
not more than one-half the white men, doing
business in Atlanta, are entitled to vote. The
reason of this is we have men doing business
here from every State in the Union. These
men have not yet served their two years’ ap
prenticeship which authorizes them to graduate
at the ballot-box. Yet, of tbe old citizens of
the city and State, over 1500 votes were cast.
Upon this it is reasonable to calculate that tho
"i ‘ii e I£ I>Ulation of Atlanta will not fall short
<»l An oolorsd populndou. f C In
huge.
What an immense amount of building has
been done in a twelve-month. It is marvelous.
And it is done, too, by men who were crippled
in finances, men who, when the work was be
gun, looked with fear and trembling upon the
cloud-flecked horizon of the future. But, una
bashed at tlie dim, unfruitful prospect, they
went to work, and worked with an energy that
bade a stern defiance to opposition, and now
they have their reward in a city more than re
constructed. All this work has been done by
patient toil and resolute intention not to suc
cumb to any obstacle that might rise up to op
pose them.
\\ here the money came from to tints restore
our desolated places no one seems to know.
All the while there lias been enough funds in
circulation to answer the ordinary purposes of
business—and carry on the immense building
operations at the same time. But it is not
needful that we question “ whence it eometh”
since we know “ whither it goeth,” and the
fruits are with us.
The Opera House, at which the press poked
much fun about the time it was originated, is
going forward as rapidly as a strong corps of
workmen can carry it. Its walls have already
mounted to tho height ot four majestic stories,
and the flith one is being added with dispatch.
It will be an ornament to tho city when com
pleted—as it will be in gorgeous style.
The new Masonic Temple is also rapidly ap
proaching completion. This will, when com
pleted, be one of the handsomest edifices in the
city, it will bo about Ufty-ttve feet in height,
with two large store rooms on the first floor, a
concert hnll in the second, while the third will
be fitted up for masonic uses. The order is
very strong in this city and a large hall is needed
for their use. t
A colored school building was dedicated
Saturday afternoon. Not much to the credit of
Atlanta while folks, be it said, the handsomest
and most commodious school building in tho
city is dedicated to the training up of the
young “ wards of the nation.” The building
lias been erected under the auspices and direc
tion ol tlie “ American Missionary Associa
tion.” It has live large rooms for school pur
poses, a largo library room and a cliapel about
fifty by seventy feet. Thus, we see a work that
should only have been done by our own people
being successfully carried on by others.
Mr. \Vm. L. Scruggs, late one of the editors
of the Era, becomes connected with The La

DESAUSRURK FORD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7tl», 1866.
We have examined the Lenses of Prof. Bernhardt
and consider them superior to any we Viavo scon.
They are admirably adapted, not only to improve the
imperfections of impaired sight, hut to relieve tho
weariness of vision which constant study produces.
Many of the Glasses are of new and ingenious con
trivance. We cordially recommend the Professor to
all those who require scientific optical assistance.

WM H. DOUGHTY, M.D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. Bth, 1866.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. M. Bernhardt,
of Europe, and have tried them. They are very re
markable for their beauty of workmanship and for
their power to assist the vision. Dr. M. Bhrnhardt
has made Optics the study of his life, and is evident
ly most thoroughly acquainted with the science. He
is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has sludi d 'here;
but he I as, for several years, been a resident of New
York. The diseased and aged will find great relief
from the use of his Glasses. I have seen numerous
testimonial# to the excellence of his Glasses and to
his skill as an Optician, and I would recommend him
to all whose vision is impa red either through age or
disease. JOSEPH R. WILSON,
Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Augusta, Ga.
"Augusta. Ga., Dec. 8, 1866.
I have examined Prof. M. Bkrnhari t’s very com
plete assortment of Spectacles and Lenses, and find
.hem admirably adapted to remedy such imperfections
of vision as can be benefltted by the skill of tho Opti
cian. The material used in the manufacture of ids
Glasses is of remarkable purity and beauty, and adds
very much to their value. 1 recommend him with
great cheerfulness to the of all who may
requlre his services.
H WM. H. O. CL ARK,
Rector of St. Paul’s Church.
Augusta, Ga., Bth December, 1866.
I can recommend with entire confidence the Eye
Glasses and other expedients, for assisting impaired
vision, of Prof. M. Bbrnhardt. The mechanical ex
ecution ot his work is very beautiful and ’he excel
lence of his Glasses unsurpassed. After personal in
spection and use, I can truly say that I have used
nothing which assists impaired vision more perfectly
“ GREGORY DUGGAN,
Pastor of bt. Patrick Catholic Church.
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 39, 1866.
I hereby certify that Mrs. Davenport has been af
fected with A morousis for about two months; it be
camAlmost complete. On tho 2d of November last,
according to mv advice, she placed herself under tho
charge of Dr. Iff. Burnuahdt. Her vision has rapidly
improved. She can now read small print with or
without glasses.

Professor M. Bernhardt, Optician ami Oculist:
I cheerfully state to you that a further acquaintance
with you and your most excellent Glasses has con
firmed my first impressions as to your skill and their
superiority over the general run, and I recommend all

(Jit the 2d inst., I called on you with my wife, who

and her eyes continue to improve daily. I cheerfully
