CONSTITUTIONALIST. attq-tjsta. ga. SUNDAY MORNING. SEPT. 29. 1807 11. It is the duty Os the military authorities in this District to secure to the people the ut most freedom oj speech and of the press consist ent with law ; not to restrict either. No sahs / zclory execution of the late acts of Congress is practicable unless this freedom is secured and its exercise protected by the usual legal means. 111. No officer or soldier in this command rill hereafter interfere with newspapers or sneakers on any pretense whatever. [Gen. Pope’s Order, .Tune 3d. “ Freedom of speech and of the press, educa tion, equality before the law, and in political rights and privileges, are the essentials of any satisfactory reconstruction in the South." [Gen. Pope’s Letter to Gen. Grant. SOILING THE ERMINE. * The late Archbishop Hughes brought ineffable confusion upon himself by advoca ting the cause of the North in hostility to the South. He was reproached by the great majority of Catholics, rebuked by the Supreme Pontiff, and died, so it is said, as ■much from mortification of spirit as physi cal infirmity. The stigma that rested on him when living, remains after death, and is the one great blot upon the escutcheon of this wonderful and aspiring prelate. Catholics, North and South, made the proud boast that their altars and pulpits had never been disgraced by political ha rangues; that their clergymen were innocent of dragging the corrupt body of partisan ship before the shrines of Jesus and Mary. It was a boast that any sect of Christians, in any land, might well exult in, and, fail ing to be true, might well cry, Ichabod— “ the glory is departed.” To Archbishop Hughes, then, belongs the shame of having converted the Catholic pulpit from the Btrlctlv spiritual to the semi-political. He was the first Romanist in this country to turn his shepherd’s crook into a sabre and make the aisles of God’s House reverberate with the slang of the recruiting sergeant. It is the memory of one great wrong, one terrible departure from accustomed holi ness, one abnegation of glorious precedent that sullies the otherwise magnificent re cord of a full and glorious character. As a teacher of the Word, he should have re membered the warnings of the Prince of Peace, and as the most notable champion of a grand Faith, striven to keep it untar nished of strife. In an evil hour, alas! he denied the record, and made millions blush at a Wolsey resurrected in the city of New York. The unhappy course of Archbishop Hughes, in disturbing the sanctity of the Pulpit, lias had an emulator on the Supreme Bench, in the person of Chief Justicc Chase, who keeps the unenviable fame of being the first of the same rank and position to soil his ermine with the corruption of political thimble rigging. His rabid desire for the Presidency, and feverish jaunts over the country to secure this doubtful honor, have brought upon him the scorn and ridicule of men representing all factions and parties. Had he been true to the example of his pre decessors, his figure would have loomed up royally in future annals which must record the depravity and ungodliness of these worst of days. As it is, he shall be conspicuous only for betrayal of a high trust and as the Soiler of the Ermine. To the credit of the Catholic Clmrch it can be avowed that the dreary experiment of Archbishop Hughes seemed to have perished with his perishable part. The church has gone back to Ihe sweet serenity of better days in this country and expiated, by universal charity, the solitary pride of a misguided bishop. The pernicious example of Chief Justice Chase has, on the contrary, grown rank with poisonous fruit, and the Supreme Bench, even in the South, forgotten its high estate and hitherto unsullied fame. The Georgia stands, we believe, with out a rival in this regard, and it is all the more deplorable because voluntary and un necessary. Without compulsion of any kind, we have the lamentable spectacle of three Judges of the Supreme Court pushing themselves and their lucubrations before the people. Nay more, we find them the quasi-apologists of the most accursed tyranny that ever in sulted the laws of God and man. Farther, we behold them giving professional testi mony upon cases that may arise before their tribunal for adjudication. Still fur ther, we discern them purveying, inno cently it may bo, to the baser elements of our political fabric and weakening in the South anil in the North the advocates of true Republican liberty and the upholders of that Constitutional atgis, without which, the Supreme Law and its integrity will ere long be the ribald jest of faction and the prostitute of power. We feel confident that these Judges acted upon what they conceived to be noble im pulses ; but a large body of their fellow countrymen will condemn their action as a delusive indiscretion and melancholy pre cedent. The time, too, was most inoppor tune. It was a time of all times when im partial gods aud silent judges were most imperatively demanded ; it was a time when the bugle notes of Conservative victory blown from the Atlantic seaboard echoed responsively from the Pacific slope; it was a time, too, when a military satrap had in vaded the sacred precincts of their holy of lioltes and laid his iron hand upon the un spotted mantle of Augustus Reese. One of these Judges has, out of the abun dance of his reason, demonstrated that Se cession aud Radicalism clasp hands over the corpse of Union; that Tuaddeus Ste vens and Jefferson Davis are, in the dis solution of the Republic, drawn into per fect accord. If the premises of Judge Harris are ad mitted, his conclusions are inevitable ; but, however true in theory, they are unfounded In point of fact. He says the South rejected the Constitu tion of the United States and hence reject ed the Union. Wherefore, she cannot claim the benefit of a Constitution and Union thus discarded. Very far from rejecting the Constitution of the United States, the South, on the con trary, Adopted it in every essential feature and strove to break, not the Constitution, but the bond of Union that made its inter pretation a falsity on the part of the North. But granting even that Georgia did re ject the Constitution and did dissolve the Union, it is a remarkable thing that she should have gained by defeat all that she hoped, in these respects, to have gained by victory. Will the Congressional majority admit this; have they ever admitted it ? It is not a question of what we, the defeat ed party, believe in theory; it is the actual position of the conqueror. The North de fies absolutely that the Union was ever disrupted or the Constitution overthrown. Every particle' of its legislation has been based upon this assumption, aud a de claration to the contrary would alienate lltousands from the Radical party. This is their dilemma ; this is our advan tage. It matters not what our private the ories may be ; they are necessarily in abey .ice. We propose to treat with the vic tor as he compels us to treat. If lie is so completely the master of the situation, why does he not assume entire responsibili ty and force the measures he now solicits ? lie dare not. The avenger of wrong is on Ills trail and a long drama of hypocrisy must be played out to the final catastrophe. We should deal with the fact as we find it and not the theory that is in eclipse. If we miter upon this, we will be among the first tools in the universe who refuse to take ad vantage of an unscrupulous adversary, whose heel is upon our necks, but whose impatience and rapacity disclose chinks in his armor; whom too much wisdom has debauched; whose weapon pauses at our breast and inclines toward his own base heart. Report of Dr. L. E. Berckman’s, One of the Committee appointed by the Agri cultural Club of Richmond county , for the investigation of the two plants known as the Lespidasa. Striata and the Acanthuspcrnum Xanthioides : The attention of the members having been called in a previous meeting to the rapid invasion of some unknown weed, a committee was appointed to examine, the botanical character and the chemical prop erties of said plants, in regard to their bearings upon the flora of the country. Some years agp the undersigned first noticed this weed (the Lespidasa), in some places on the roadsides in Georgia. We did not give it any particular attention. It is only since it has disseminated itself so widely and so rapidly that it attracted general attention, aud was recently made !he subject of a thorough investigation by the Club. Lt seems not to be relished much by any cattle, although it is said that, in some localities, cattle will feed upon it. It is a native of China and Japan, from whence came so many valuable additions to our native flora ; as, for instance, the chinaberry (melia asedarach), the pawlonia, t he sterculeum (Japan varnish), the lagerslrcc ,nium, the camellia, and a host of flowers and shrubs. It will be seen by the able re port of Colonel Rains that it may prove not to lie altogether a worthless intruder, as it contains many elements of fertilizing matter which may eventually prove beneficial to be t urned under by the plow, as green sod, for future crops, as is the case with clover, eowpeas, &e., &c. Considering the structure of the seed, aud its unfitness to be carried at distances by the wind, as is the case with the seed of the thistle, the caraxicum, and other winged or feathered seeds, we may well be surprised to witness its rapid propagation. Since the time we first saw it it has taken possession of immense tracts of waste land, old fields, forests and road sides. The probability is, that the seed, being minute and light, it sticks, in wet places and seasons, to the feet of cattle, sheep and all kind of animals, and is tints carried to great distances. It may be also that, being purposedly or accident ally consumed by cattle or birds, the seed passes, like so many other seeds, uninjured through the digestive apparatus,, and is thus deposited at great distances, and in places most remote. Having no means at present to ascertain the useful or baneful eflect of the plant upon our fields and pas tures, where it is rapidly superseding most of our native grasses whenever it takes fairly hold of the soil, we must confine our selves to the history of its origin, its botani cal character, and its chemical elements. Not having been able to examine the flower which is now fast coming out, and (he seed which ripens in the fall, we wrote to a friend, Mr. H. W. Itavenel, our dis tinguished botanist, and we can do no bet ter than to avail ourselves of his remarks : “ Doctor Chapman (says Mr. R.) informed me that lie had it from Macon, Ga., that he saw it a year or two ago at his return from the North, first at West Point on the Chat tahoochee, thence along the road to Colum bus, and down the river to Eut'aula. It seems to be ail through our Southern States, along the line of woods, and near towns and vil lages. It is a perrenial plant, and spreads itself by its seeds. Enclosed is a small specimen, with mature fruit, collected last tall, that you may see small disk-like leg umes. It is not yet included in any of our works on Botany. Dr. Chapman, the au thor of the Flora of the Southern States, published just before the war, to whom I sent specimens a year ago, did not know its name, but had seen it as stated above. He supposed it a new species. lam indebted to Prof. Gray, of Cambridge, for giving me the name, which he wgs enabled to do by a comparison with his East India collec tions.” With these remarks we must conclude, satisfied to have called the attention of the public to this immigrant in hopes that ex periments may be tried in order to ascertain whether it is good lor anything or only a troublesome intruder. Its wonderfully rapid ■ propagation, and the fact that it kills or supersedes our native graminees wherever it gets possession of the soil, makes this a subject well worthy of further and careful investigation. If found worthless, one con solation remains; that is, that it can easily be uprooted and destroyed by plowing or hoeing. As far as the eye is concerned, it makes certainly one of the finest green car pets that can be found, and insects seem not to live upon it. We remarked, on the contrary, that they seem to keep away from it. It is perhaps the only Southern plant that could give us an idea of “ Thi green mossy bunk near a murmuring brook,’, such as we find them in England, and here in the novels only. The plant next in order is the *4 cantkus pernum Xanthioides. This plant' (of the Burr family) is a native of Brazil and Tro pical South America, thoroughly climatized and domesticated. It matures its seed, a five edged shape (or star) cluster of burrs, in September and October most abundantly. It spreads itself also by rootiug at the points (stoloniferous). It is an annual plant, but the seeds are easily carried about by attach ing themselves (like the sheep burr) to any trailing object. The plant should be de stroyed before maturing its burrs, by plow ing or uprooting in any way. When the seeds are left to mature upon the plant, plowing will only propagate them more -rapidly. Like most all its congeneres, this weed is of no use whatever, at least at our present time, and with our present knowledge of nature’s deeply hidden secrets; but we nv>y well doubt whether that family will ever be found to be anything but a great nuisance. Its origin may be traced to the factories— Richmond, Bellville, &c.—where first we saw it, about the year 1859. It was then confined to the environs of the factories. — Three or four years later we found it at Rich mond Hill, and at present it is in some places along the Milledgeville road and in sundry spots where it has been carried by the animals or vehicles. But as its mode of propagation is comparatively slow, its progress may easily be arrested, and we believe that for the present it deserves no further mention. L. J. Berckmans. White Men All Liars.—lt is a melan choly fact that since the laws of the State ! have been amended so as to allow negroes to appear as witness in all cases, white peo -1 pie have suddenly stopped telling the truth. Not one white person can be found who re [ gards the sanctity of an oath, and who hesi tates to tell a lie. That this is the case, it is only necessary to visit the Mayor’s court, ; and listen to the witnesses who daily ap i pear there. If the most respectable and ■ highly esteemed citizen of Richmond ap pears as a witness, there will be halfa dozen negro witnesses present to swear that he is not telling the truth. Some of these are i professional witnesases, and are always on , hand, ready to be called for in any case that may come up. It is very bad that white men are incapable of swearing to the truth in these latter days!— Richmond Examiner. 1 The remains of the unfortunate Duke ol Reichstadt, son of Napoleon 1., are to be brought from their resting place at Vienna and deposited in the newly restored vaults of the Abbey of St. Denis, in Paris. The commission charged with the duty has already been ap pointed, and Paris will soon have a funeral show as a novel excitement. Garibaldi Arrested and Imprisoned. FRENCH FLEET AND TROOPS FOR ITALY. Florence, September 24. General Garibaldi was arrested to-day, near a small town named Azevalvaga, by order of King Victor Emanuel. Garibaldi was engaged . in perfecting his plan of invasion of the Pon titical territory, which embraces the.idea of an ’ immediate march on Rome, alter which, if sne , cess (pi, the Eternal City was to be proclaimed the capital of united Italy, by the leader of the. “party of action.” His intentions aud design were made known i "> his adherents, and consequently to the King's government in this city, by the circula tion amongst the revolutionists of a very in . tl animatory address, dated and issued from . Arezzo on Sunday last, the 22d iust. The issue of this revolutionary paper placed : King Victor Emanuel in a difficult position.— by the recent convention with France, under which the French troops evacuated Rome, he ii bound to maintain the Papal territory free , ft oiu lilibusterii.m coming from Italy, even at , the cost of offending his progressive friends •’tuong the people. 1 The King has executed his treaty obligation i w ith fidelity. He replied to Garibaldi’s address . by a royal proclamation, circulated also on Sunday, iu which he denounced the Garibaldian movements, cautioned his subjects against aid ing or taking part in it, and declared his re solve to arrest and “ rigorously punish ” any of his people who disobeyed him, as well as others arrested on the soil of Italy engaged in a crime “ against the law of nations.” By vir „ ttie of this proclamation Garibaldi has been ar ' rested, and from this act may ensue the settle ment of the long vexed Italo-Romau and Papal 1 temporalities question. He was conveyed, after a ohort delay, to the fortress of Alessandria, a building in which he • enjoyed the privilege of a conference with 2 Louis Napoleon during the progress of the 1 Italian war in 1859. - The arms and war munitions intended for - the use of Garibaldian troops were seized ou r the frontier. The Italian volunteers who form ed the Garibaldian ranks were also made pris t oners by theagents of the King of Italy. Intense , excitement prevails in the city. . Rome, September 24.—The Eternal City is & greatly excited by the important political events j transpiring. The Papal troops, including the ■ famous Autibes Legion, which many Romans , regai das a French force iu reality, are very ac ■ live and on the alert everywhere. Toclon, September 24.—A number of French transports and war vessels are already assein -1 tiled at this naval statiou, under orders of the Minister of Marine, ready for the duty of em -1 ilarking a force of Imperial troops and con ; veying them to Italy, to the aid of the King’s i government in its action against the revolu tionists. 1 Paragraphic.

A Western New York paper wants the ladies to play base ball, maintaining that it is “ worth twice as much as this insipid, Amanda Arabella game called‘Crow-K, which is nothing but a mighty poor kind of billiards ou the grass.” Mr. Violins, the greatest wine merchant oi England, is dead. He was a sportsman ; never had but one sort of wine in his cellar; never kept a clerk ; never sent in a bill; never was iu London, and never rode on a railway. A story is told about the late W. Hope, the banker, of Amsterdam, that he had bought a picture as a Rembrandt and given 2,000 guineas for it. Finding that it did not quite lit the frame, he sent for a carpenter to ease it a little. Whilst watching the operation, he remarked liow wonderfully the picture was preserved, considering that it was nearly two hundred years old ; “ that is impossible,” said the car penter. “This wood is mahogany, and mahog any had not been introduced into Europe at that time.” Mr. Hope burnt the picture. The New Orleans Crescent relates the follow ing incident: About a week ago, a friend of ours called on a German tailor on Pryades street, to fit a neigh bor with suitable garments for the grave. Al though assured the deceased had not died oi yellow fever, the tailor peremptorily refused to undertake the job, statiug that he had never iu iiis life looked upon the body of a dead mau, • and could not bear the sight of one. Yesterday ■ the poor iellow was a corpse himself. Tiie number of superfluous letters used by { followers of Worcester is illustrated by show ing how much may be said with fewer than the authorized allowance : “ Die gav Jac a kic, when t Jac gav Die a noe on the bcc with a tliic stic.” A story is told of a “ country gentleman,” who, lor the first time, heard au Episcopal ] clergyman preach. He had read much ot the " aristocracy and pride of the church, and when - lie returned home he was asked if the people , were stuck up. “Pshaw! no,” he replied, [ “ why the minister actually preached iu his shirt ; sleeves .” ■ Immigration from the United States is pro- I gressing ; Uie last New York packet brought ! 85, and steamer Catherine Whiting, from New i Orleans, has just landed 244 direct from the Southern States. Besides these 150 Germans arrived at Rio Grande do Sul, and the Portu guese vessels continue to deposit their ship loads ’ of Portuguese aud Islesincn on these shores. \ Anglo Brazilian Tones, Aug. 7th. t “ ’ ■' The South Twenty Years Hence.— 1 The New York Tribune of a recent date . says: . There are 12,000,000 of people in the South, whereof at least 8,000,000 are whites. There is ample room there lor 50,000,000 more, and crowds are flocking in—all of ■ them whites. Europe is sending us a full thousand a day, and the South proffers them cheap land, a genial climate, aud em ployment for every sort of industrial ca pacity’. Now that a good harvest has de livered the Houth from famiue, aud her re construction is iu rapid progress, there is no region on earth that should attract so many immigrants. Twenty years hence we will have 25,000,- ; 000 to J 0,000,000 of* people, whereof the blacks will probably number 5,000,000. Unless all the laws which have hitherto governed the increase of population are sub verted, the whites of the South must in crease faster than the blacks by at least four to one. Not that the blacks will fail to increase also, but they are nowise re cruited by immigration, and cannot be. Africa sends forth no voluntary emigrants; the slave trade is on its last legs, and no negroes are coming to this country from any quarter. How, then, is it possible that the 4,000,000 of blacks in this country should overbear the 8,000,000 of whites in the South, with the millions on the point of flocking thither V v Mobbing of a Negbo Meddler by His 6wn Color.—For some time past there has been unmistakable sigus of dissatisfaction upon the part ot the respectable portion of the colored people of Savannah, iu regard to a no torious uegro adventurer, whose name appears in another place, as one of the candidates of the mongrel parly for the approaching State con vention, and last evening their hostility took a tangible shape. From what we cau learn, it appears that while he was returning from the African Church, on Green square, where lie had probably been dis tributing his tickets, he was met near the cor ner of Broughton and Lincoln streets by a party of colored men, who knocked him down and gave him what, he lias long needed, a good , beating. His cries of “ help " and t‘ murder ” I soon attracted a crowd, when his assailants , jumped into a wagon that was in waiting, close \ at haand, aud drove off'at a furious rat-, before the police were able to arrest any of them. The party assaulted was not seriously injured. During the melee several bricks were thrown through the windows of iiis house, which is near the place of the difficulty, smashing In live panes ol glass.— Savannah News, 27th. Catholic Architecture.—Schiller said that the Catholic religion was the religion of art; and the sacredness which the Roman church ascribes to its places of - worship undoubtedly leads its members to expend unusual sums upon their ecclesiastical edifices. The Catholics, as they become richer and more powerful in this country, are displaying something of the zeal and earuestnecs in this matter which charac terized the old builders of the European cathedrals. From all parts of the country we hear of new religious buildings in process ol erection by this sect. A church completed two years ago in Philidelphia certainly equals, in the beauty ol its architecture, any similar struc ture in the iandi Another, still more imposing—a magnificent specimen of the florid Gothic—ls slowly pro gressing in New York. At St. Louis, the land is purchased and the design drawn for what will be the largest and costliest cathedral on the continent. At Dubuque, a convent is build i ing, which is said to rival the splendid monastic edifices of Italy, while the foundations of a ; building of the same character have lately been laid with many ceremonies at Baltimore. These • things indicate how rapidly this branch of l Christianity is increasing among us. Already }t embraces a fifth of our population.
