OOJ^STITUTIONALIST. attgujsta, o*a. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 10,1867 Reading Matter on Every Page. THE FUTURE OF MEXICO. The future of Mexico seems destined to become a question of international solution. The barbarous murder of Maximilian lias roused the resentment of the civilized world against that mongrel concern called, a Re public, of which the Indian Juarez is the usurping President and tiie long-eared ex mule driver Escobedo the Philip Sheri- iv,yn. From the universal indignation and mourning caused by the Emperor’s execu tion, all over Europe, we believe that ids blood will not sink into the ground, but cry aloud to heaven and its earthly avengers for swift and terrible retribution. It is flip pantly promised by certain Marats of the press that Maximilian’s fate will prove the death knell of attempted imperial estab lishments in regions of North America beyond the Itio Grande. But, just as the cruel incarceration and brutal indignities practiced upon Jefferson Davis faiifcd to make “ treason” odious and “rebellion” hateful, so the tragic fall of the Emperor has changed the sentiments of even the Old World Liberals and given to the monarch ists a pretext and a martyr. The best evidence of the truth of this surmise can be found in the recent action of the French Assembly, which once bitterly opposed Napoleon’s Mexican expedition, and never ceased its antagonism until the last French soldier sailed from Vera Cruz. A reaction lias taken place in that Legislative body and, for the nonce, consigned the Theirs party to oblivion. A reference to further invasion of Mexico was received with general acclamation, and when the moment for action shall have come, the French Emperor will not be alone in armed interference. Should there be a combined attack upon the Mexican sliam Republic by European powers, the United States will probably assist their fellow-republicans, and a gigan tic war come to pass, in the course of which many historical surprises are destined to be produced. In such an event, and it may be nearer than one would suppose, what will become of Southern reconstruction and the aiational debt ? If the temper of Europe tends' strongly toward- the invasion and dismemberment of Mexico, it is visible to the careful observer th#t the tendency of the North is being shaped in the same direction. Leading journals have changed their tune regarding J.uarkz’s Republic and are fomentingjflMs eords between the United States and tneir sister confederation. Should the United States determine to occupy and possess the Mexican territory, the' powers of Europe will be delighted to have the job taken oil' their hands. A sufficient opportunity will indubitably'be given, and, as Mr. Seward hits a craze on the subject of acquiring new have odefiglitful place of refuge. The climate of Mexico is suited to their torrid natures, and the fruitfulness of nature agreeable to their indolent propensities. Formidable bodies of Southern negroes could achieve wonders for themselves in that delicious land. They would And a convenient intermingling of races already moulded for their destinies, and by judicious alliances, should the United States abandon the country, they could rule it with quite as many prospects of fortune as that of Juarez and other adventurers, and, we be lieve, with a leniency that would put him and Jiis fellow-cut-throats to ignominious shame. The signs of the times, then, plainly indi cate that either from Europe or' from the United States the doom of Mexico will ere long come. Should Europe precipitate mat ters, the United States may, by force of polity, drift into complications with foreign potentates. Should Europe bide Its time, the United States will send a military mon arch to what is popularly called the Halls of the Montezumas, but what may hereaf ter be styled with equal sentimentality the Halls of the American Ebosliins. RETRACTING THE REOORD. When the Veto Message of President Johnson on the Military Bill had been read to the members of the Senate and House of Representatives, tiie Radical leaders indig nantly denied the imputation expressed therein that absolute power was conferred upon the Five Monarchs. And yet, it is speciously proclaimed that these satraps interpreted the bill according to the Veto Message and not according to the declared voice of the masters who made them! Was there ever such brazen imposture? We furnish proof. One objectionable argument of the Attorney General reads thus: It is a power to preserve, not to abrogate; to sustain the existing frame of social order and civil rule, and not a power to introduce military rule in its place. In efi'ect, it is a police power, and the protection here in tended is the protection of persons and pro perty against, violence, unlawful force, and criminal infraction. Again: Its proper function is to preserve the peace, to act promptly when the peace is broken, and restore order. The Radical press declare that this doc trine “ tears the heart out of the Military Bill,” and that Mr. Stanbery lias “ sailed a seventy-four gun ship through and through it.” A few months ago, they endorsed a similar interpretation given by the caucus commanders. Mr. Shellabauoku, one of the sponsors of the Bill, said : It is because it is only the initiative; because it, is only the employment of tiie armies of tiie United States as a mere police force to preserve order until we can estab lish civil government based upon the loyal suffrages of the people there, that I can sup port this measure at all. Mr. Henry Wilson said ; Tills bill is proposed to enforce good or der in these so-called States, until loyal and republican States governments . can be legally established. Senator Morrill, liis name is Lot, and he deserves to be turned into a masculine pillar of salt if he look back, said: Now, Mr. President, this is the mildest mannered bill in the world. It is thejduty of Congress to define by law what the military authorities in that region of country shall be bound to do, and that is, by this propo sition to keep order, preserve order in these insurrectionary States, protect the persons and the property of the people, and that is *ll. ■ 1 Another source of disquiet is found in Mr. Stanbkky’s libera! interpretation as 'to the franchise of “ reliels.” The House having made what it conceived to lie a suf llcient outlawry of Soutiiern men to secure “ decisive and trustworthy majorities,” the amended bill was returned to the Senate. Senator Hendricks, of Indiana, said: I believe I have heard no Senator, except, perhaps, the Senator from Massachusetts, express a desire for such a provision. The desire of the Senate has been that the right to vote should be free to all. Senator Sherman, who is trooping back from Europe in hot haste and virtuous <; holer, responded: 1 wish to say to my friend from Indiana that two-thirds of the party to which I belong, in the House of Representatives,were of the same opinion, that no such restriction should be put on ; but these amendments were forced on this'bill by the Democratic party. ~ To show that the disfranchising clauses were forced upon the gentle souls of Radi calism, the same irate tourist averred : This iKwiy, by tho unanimous vote of the Union members, sent to the House a propo sition, which contained no prohibition of any man exercising the elective franchise, it was the deliberately considered proposi tion of the Union party. As these'amendments were not deemed so important, although they, it is true, dis franchise some of the Southern people from votNtg, as they could not get the bill in any other way in consequence of tiie action of the Democratic party, the bulk of the Union party concluded that they had liettcr take the bill with these amendments, and I shall vote in tiie same way here. At another stage of tiie proceedings Sena tor Wilson, who is now offering stringent resolutions for further oppression and out lawry, made this magnificent burst: Sir, I have very little .faith in excluding men from the polls. I have fought the bat tle of enfranchisement witli all my heart. 1 believe in manhood suffrage for man, with out distinction of color or race, or proper ty, or education. I believe that the poorer a man is the mow: lie needs the ballot to protect himself and maintain liis manhood in this democratic Republic. lam a demo cratic. Democrat on suffrage and the rights of man, I have fought the battle of cn ■ franehisement; I 0411 never light the battle 1 of disfranchisement. It is witlj tlje deepest regret that I consent as a necessity for a great purpose to disfranchise any human 1 being even for a moment. I vote for this great measure as a whole heartily, but I should vote for it more joyously if no human being on earth was disfranchised by it. These damaging quotations convict the . leading memliers of Congress of hypocrisy , and tergiversation. Out of their own I mouths are they condemned, and, if any of (lie bills now pending should pass muster aml become law, Joseph E. will have to nose out fresh subterfuges to defend a Congress which eats its own words , and will be proven as treacherous as it is , revolutionary. “ Amnesty ,” "finality," "fra | tornity," "harmony!" Where arc your honest ! legislators, and where their hollow pro ’ miscs ? Alas ! poor JoeU " 1 r V. , THE OTHER SIDE. ‘ Several Radical papers in the South have copied an extract froijj the Georgia corres -1 poudence of the New York Timgfc Ml v/hich 1 Mr. B. H. Hill’s dissertations upon the * Constitution are comp&red to the. folly of “ riding stick hoYses in the circus ring when the circiis is gone.” They were very care : ful to omit the publication of preceding re ! marks in which with vivid and grisly sa tire tiie modus operand! of driving negroes • to the political shambles was portrayed. ! No more melancholy and ludicrous carica ' tuye upon the freedom of the freedmen was : ever pictured by a master of language. As an example of the coercion and intimida ' tion practiced, we can authoritatively men tion that at-a negro church in South Garo -1 ihift, on Sunday last, an order was read to the assembled male blacks to meet at Storm Branch Church, on Saturday next, ' under peril of arrest. We talked with a number of blacks on the subject, not 011 c of ' whom seemed to comprehend the precise 1 nature of the mandate or its implied threat, 1 but all were vastly curious and vastly frightened. We publish, in another col -4 umn, Quondam’s interesting account of 1 one of these black and tan meetings. If the Radical papers of the South are pleased f with the recital, they have sunk several de grees lower than any one lias hitherto sup -1 posed. Mr. Hii.t. may use a stick, but it is ’ a powerful weapon and has driven the Georgia traitors to tlieir holes. lie has completely riddled the Reconstruction shield, and if Joseph E. Brown & Co. dare confront him 011 the hustings, they will wish, before many days have elapsed, that the circus had remained to save their repu tations. As it is, they must perforce seek amusement and balm from the menagerie now performing at Washington, which, having exhibited them as sliam lions, strips the hide from their ignoble carcases and sends them howling for “ finalities,” “ am nesties,” “ fraternities ” and “ harmonies ” which never had any existence outside their own distorted fancies. THE RADICALS AND THE NEGRO. At a recent Radical Convention in Penn sylvania a nomination for the Supreme Judgeship was made and a platform estab lished. A noticeable feature of this plat form was total exclusion of negroes from office. The New York Tribune " regrets that the resolution for impartial suffrage was smothered in committee.” If the blacks are not totally blind, this determination of their pretended friends in Pennsylvania to keep them at a convenient distance, ought to open their eyes to tlic hypocrisy of men who are afraid to practice in their own homes what they impiously teach and ruth lessly thrust upon the homes of others. Let the negro make a practical test of Radical friendship by voting for his own color, and no more malignant persecutors of his race will be found 011 tlic earth’s surface. Not many days ago, a citizen of Augusta rumi nated concerning tlic worth of city bonds when negroes felt tlieir political oats and grasped tiie purple of dominion. One of the military appointees is represented to have declared that “no negro would ever hold office while Gen. Pour commanded in Georgia.” Here’s a pill for you, deluded black men, and here’s a draught Qf reflec tion u|>oii tiie quality of that sloppy friend ship which, like the rinsings of an old tea pot, drips through a Radical strainer. The an ecdote related above is a good sample of the aforesaid sloppy friendship. The negro may heed qr not, as he desires. If Ephraim is joined to his idols, let him alone. General Schofield, in his reply to the in quiry from Winchester, relative to the Al exandria Constitution disfranchisement, cuts the Gordian knot at a stroke. He says the Virginia State government l>eing “ ille gal,” he does not perceive liow it could ever have disfranchised anybody. This is a blow between the eyes to the perjury prosecutions; but it goes much beyond in its consequences. What right has an “ ille gal government ” to levy taxes, to enforce decrees, to imprison and to hang ? Govern or Pierpont modifies these last functions very much by liis pardoning operations; but what right has an illegal government to do witli it? —Richmond Enquirer. Brownlow has disfranchised, by proclaim tion, Giles county, making the thirteenth coun ty disfranchised since the 18th of April. DELUDING THE DARKIES. The Savannah Republican, an out and out Radical jiaper, thus alludes to the Atlanta tea party: “ The Committee on Resolutions reported a Platform for tiie new Party, full of loyu,’. rhetoric and glittering generalities. It v evidently the intention of the “ white spirits” to make them so general as to avoid «.;nti cism. The blacks objected to this, ajVd Jn an excited discussion claimed Vnat the rights belonging to them, socially and poli tically, should lie specifically described, and declarations made of the party's intention to vindicate them. They were defeated by tlieir own weaixms. It was suggested that no reference to ‘ color’ be introduced into the platform, and the more enthusiastic of tiie blacks, wheedled by flattery iuto tiie belief that they were not at all ‘ colored ’ received the counsel with applause.”* Blind and deluded freedmen, you are tiie political slaves of ambitious white men who desire to step to power upon your backs. Here is a specific case of humbug for your interior thoughts. Clap-trap words and foolish flattery hold you in thrall. We are sorely afraid that even “ Big Ben,” Quon dam’s “ rigid Conservative” succumbed to the persuasive proof that he was not a color ed man at all; that there were no colored men extant, and, though lie went to Atlanta to meet a “ passel of other niggers,” he and they suffered transmogrification at the white wash bucket of the magician Blodgett— of Fairy Land. To tho Freedmen of Georgia. no. 1. Freedmen of Georgia: Wlieu a gardener finds that the Insects are troubling his crops, and that unless he destroys them he will lose what he has been working for, he lights a Dig fire about dark and by next morning all the bugs, beetles, (fee,, are in it, attracted by the bright light made to de stroy them; or else iie gets some large ' mouthed bottles, half fills them with molass es and water, and in a short time they are filled with drowned insects. This, I fear, is what is prepared for you, under tiie name of Freedom, and Equality ; and as I do not wish to see you destroyed, but living in the full pursuit of happiness, ; I will venture to tell you some truths, which you will not hear from those who 1 only pretend to be your friends, for their own purposes. If mankind lias any knowledge ol the truth, it is found in what Christians con sider tiie word of God, i. e. tiie Bible. This tells us that God rules in the. affairs of the world, and that Ills management of it is directed to preparing it for the final occu ' pasion of His Son, as Lord and King of a chosen people, from among the myriads 1 who have lived on tlje Earth. It also lays down laws for our conduct, and government, ; and precepts for our regulation in our in ’ tercourse with one another; but it no where promises anything but trial and tribulation in this world. Nor does it adypeate "equali ty," except before God, as onr Father and , Judge, but ordains social subordination ami obedience to governors and masters. It even { sets aside a whole race as “ servants of } servants," and tells us that at the last day [• there shall be bondsmen and freemen, and , that the poor we shall always have with us. Thb declaration that all men are “ free and equal ” is a falsehood in everyway, and was the product of an infidelity that arose from , the corruption of religion, and brought on the French Revolution and the horrors of the great wars which followed. About 1800 years before, when Christ I came into the world, all the people in it were the slaves of Kings and Emperors, as you may judge from the fact that when* Herod, the King, wished to destroy the in , infant Jesus he sent and slew all t.he little children under t\yo years old, in a large district of country, and nobody dared resist L him. But the doctrine taught by Christ C and tlic Apostles, while they inculcated love , and good will among men, and equality tic fore God, only taught obedience and sub , ordination, from the young to the old, and from the subject to the rulers, and from the C servant to the master. [• When the church had become powerful, I and mastered the kings of the earth, it be came so situated that a “ Reformation ” was deemed necessary and was to a limited de , gree carried out, and certain ideas leading to great moral, social and political im provement prevailed; but slavery still ex isted, and lias never been abolished, except , where it was found that free labor was cheaper than slave hdior. In England and in New England this soon became apparent, and slavery was abolished in name, though in the former country it still exists in fact, inasmuch as vast numbers can scarcely live by the proceecds of a very hard day’s work. But it suited the views of both these people to see the negro labor of the South destroyed, and to do this the first step was , to destroy the Constitution of the United , States, that protected the Planter, who pro tected the negro, living and working with him. The Planter resisted, and a war en sued, but it was only when President Lin coln found that the South could not be conquered, and that if lie did not abolish ! slavery, England would help us, on condi tion that we would do so, gradually—that it was done. But even after the war, know -1 ing that the act was unconstitutional, they 1 required the States to do so. They did so, ! and the negro is now legally free, and his in ’ terest is now that of a Southern man. Let him beware, lest in pursuit of a shadow he 1 be not cheated out of the substance—and ' burnt in the fire, or drowned in the bottle, like the insects referred to above. Isundiga. Scalping. — We wonder if any “ thrill of horror” has run through the Northern heart upon the reading of what we here copy from the New York Tribune 1 The United States are Rapidly earning immor tality—of a certain sort. They armed these Indians before 1861. The Caiawas were armed with revolvers and rifles made by Lamon, Mr. Buchanan’s nephew, at Lancaster, the kennel of that inhuman wolf, Thad. Stevens. Tiie scalps to be taken in Colorado ought to be exhibited in the capital of the nation, by the side of the pickled heart of Wirz: At a meeting held in Central City on tiie Btli instant, 11. B. Morse was called upon ami made a very stirring speech; among other things lie stated he teas willing to give *2O a scalp for at least twenty-five, and could find others who would bike more at the same price. The following dispatch from Gov. Hunt was read: Frank llaU, Secretary: Say to the people of Gilpin county I have little to encourage them to enlist, although there is great need of their services. We have three full companies and one partially filled, but not a horse yet forthcoming.— The matter of rations is also a most diffi cult question.* No sugar, bacon or coffee to be had in the market at any price. 1 Would be grateful for the tender of a mounted company from your county.

Some say that he will resign, others that be will be re moved. We discredit them. Mr. Stanton be longs to the class that rarely dies, and never resign.

Quondam - j, as wr jtten the following letter IroiU Greeue county. It will appear that Ilia Successful candidate was a “ rigid CoKser* ,-ative,” but the extent and value of ‘aoctrine can be easily appreciated by hvy chiming in with that “ passcl of other niggers” who met at Atlanta on the Fourt h of Juiy. If “ Big Ben” is a staunch opponent of Radicalism he should have protested in due form against the elo quent and disinterested speech of that great and good man, Foster Blodgett : The heavy rains and negro politics have done no little damage to the crops in this section of tlje State. The former have made the grass grow with ruinous rapidit \ and vigor, and the latter have materially interfered with that steady, continuous pro gress ol' the plow and hoc, which alone ean make the green slayer think lie’s slain.— 1 lanters and their managers fume and fret as they see luxuriant end) grass smother mg the cotton.and stunting the corn, while all the hands have gone off to listen to some itinerant Radical, to vote ibr a repre sentative in a negro procession in Atlanta' on the Fourth of J uly, or to go to town and “hear what’s going on.” Within the past week, in a large agricultural County north ol this, the hands lost two days for these purposes, leaving ilieir work without saying a word to the employers, and when they returned were unable to say what they went for, what they did, or what they heard. As the whole country, is now over run with these Radical stump speakers, the evil is likely to be very serious, as this-is the most critical time in the year for ’the crops, when steady, hard work is essential to success. I have heard many of the harangues of these individuals.— “Vote for the Radicals, who set yoi live, and if you do Congress will coniiscate the property of the rebels and divide it amoim you," constitutes the burden of all the speeches which I have hoard .addressed to the negroes. The letters of fluid. Uteveils and Gen. Butler are relied on as conclusive proof that this promise will be fulfilled, am I it is asserted that those gentlemen whose omnipotence is demonstrated, are resol vjr I to drive out all the white rebels and m:A this the colored mail’s country. I UeaiTi a mulatto from Massachusetts, who hail ilJeen sent out to preach the Radical gospel, pro mise liis negro audience all that is contain ed in the above sketch, adding that Con gress had scut him to tell his brethren the truth.” lie advised also that no cohtract, to work, no objection of the employer, no regard for the crop, should lie allowed to prevent the colored men from coming to town as often as they wished to hear speeches, attend political meetings, am “ fix to look after their own ‘ intrust,,-; He then told them that the whit< men of the South were all to getlier to deceive and injure -them, to rob them of their rights, and make them slaves again, and that their only chance of escape and future prosperity was to vote for “them as sot you free.” There were several white men present who heard this speech, and to whom, on the principle that listeners never hear any good of themselves, several allu sions were made which were very far from conciliatory or complimentary. A couple of days ago I witnessed a negro election of a delegate to represent a county in the “show at Atlanta,” on the Fourth of July. From every corner of the county freedmen poured in. Had the issue been one of* life and death the interest could not have been greater or the anxiety more intense. 1 asked several what they were going k> do, but nobody seemed to have any idea of the purpose oi the gathering. “We got word to come on and vote, and so we ’lowed to . come,” was all the information I could gather at the outset of the proceedings.— One or two white men, one a greasv, un washed and half drunk individual, who is what is called a “ yarb” or “ roqt doctor,” and another an ex-ftssistaut to an ex-negro trader were the managers, promoters and big men of the occasion. They wrote tickets, and fixed things in the most.oblig ing manner without the least reference to the free anil enlightened citizens. There were “ six Richmonds in the Held,” dnjt it soon became apparent that “ old man Jack Bell” was the favorite, and straightway I • went in search of the popular candidate,; hoping that by possibility lie might have 1 got an inkling of what he was to do. 1 was ‘ presell leil in due form t-u one of ’•tbe 'liiosl, ' stalwart and ponderous negroes I ever a* w. I found Bell as affable and comnitmica -1 live as if I had a vote, but was o ed in my expectation of learning the pur , pose of the meeting, as all Bell knew was that they wanted him to go to Atlanta to [ meet “ a passel (parcel) o’other niggers” on the Fourth of July. Bell is an old man, a blacksmith by trade, of remarkable ener gy, determination and vigor for his time of I life. He is much esteemed by the white in habitants, and he avows himself as a Cou -1 sorvative of the most rigid school, lie has continued to enjoy a high reputation ns a blacksmith, and an honest, industrious niau. He rancor rather was run, as the antkßadi cal candidate, llis opponents were all 1 “ conscation Radicals,” but tftfctr combined vote did not amount tq half that cast for ; “ Big John,” who goes to Atlanta with his expenses paid by his constituents to the ex tent of nine dollars and a half, raised by voluntary subscription. Whether this Con , sorvative triumph is due to the management , of the “ root doctor,” the eloquence bf the negro trader’s assistant, or whether it is the expression of the enlightened opinion of the i electors, is a question which is variously answered. As a specimen of the working of negro suffrage-, I cannot say that this election was encouraging or gratifying. There was not one of the hundreds who deposited the tickets written, folded, and placed in their hands by the root doctor, who had not the most remote idea as to what he was doing further than to send Jack Bell to Atlanta. Why Jack Is going there, or what he is to do when he arrives, or what he will accom plish when he returns, nobody understood. There is a vague idea that lie will learn dur ing his trip wliat is “going to tic done for the colored poplc,” and that he will “get the straight of all the tales” about land. If lie does his journey will not have lieen in vain. Although the farmers arc naturally alarmed by these frequent interruptions of labor, and the consequent injury to the crops, I did not see one who was in the least harsh or ill-tempered with his truant work men. I have heard of but one case where a laborer lost his place, and that was by the voluntary resignation of the freedinan, who feared dismissal and thought it best to dismiss himself. In this case the freedinan had the additional stimulant to independent action, which was furnished by a long clierished desire to abandon his wife, and form a newer and more congenial matrimo- 1 nial alliance at a few miles’distance. The negro lias but a very dim conception of con jugal continence, and “ has no use ” for a law which only allows him to have one wife. A remarkable petition was presented the other day to the agent of the Bureau by a negro who works on a plantation in Oglethorpe county. The petitioner has had almost as many wives as Brigham Young, and has a great nnmlier of children now living.— Many of these children are sufficiently grown to be very useful Held laborers, anil add considerably to the gains of their father. To collect his scattered flock, take them from the deserted wives anil make them work for the father was the prayer of the petition, and when lie found that this could not ix: granted, he expressed the deliberate judgment that the law which could not give a man all his children “ warn’t no account no how.” 1 think that this interesting citizen, who is not over forty years old, (jointed out fifteen or six teen grown sons of from 14 to 18 years of age, whom he wanted to get under iiis con trol, as they could “make right smart if dey were all togeder.” How many of his off spring who are females, or are not suffici ently grown to make “right smart,” I did not learn. An English civil engineer, named Ormshy, recently elated that the juxtaposition of water pipes with gas pipes, under ground, is highly detrimental to the quality of water, and gave a remarkable instance to prove this assertion. lie pays that he has it on the authority of the engineer of the New ltiver Company that in applying a light to, some ol the water pi’po K which he had to inspect, ignition was caused as if they contained gas instead of water. An old negro woman accounts for the lack of discipline among youngsters from the fact that their mothers wear gaiters. “Ye see when we wear low shoes an’ the children wauled a whippin, we jus took off a shoe, mighty quick an gave ’em a good spankin ; but now how’s a body to git a gaiter off in lime ? So the chil’en gits no whippen at all now-a-day 6.” Georgia Slate Lottery, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE Masonic Orphan’s Home.
