WEDNESDAY MORNING. DEG. 25.1867
OHEISTMAS-
This day is sacred to Peace. We desire
to forget for the time our own injuries aiid
our country’s—
The oppressor’s wr JDg, the proud man’s contumely,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes;
to withdraw from all the clangor of strife
and contention, while we listen, in the quiet
of home, to the song of the angels : “On
earth peace, good will toward men.” We
desire, too, to reflect upon the exquisite
blessedness of that peace which is not the
result of exhaustive and ruinous war, but
which is brought to us in the person of In
carnate Love, and announced with a Gloria
in Excelsis. And how sweet to remember
that this peace comes as a little child—pro
phetic of the spirit and the temper of those
who arc destined to receive it!
We care not to inquire into the history of
the observance of Christmas Day. Whether
it was kept from the beginning, or, as many
believe, not until the fourth century;
whether it was the day originally
sacred to Sol, a god of the heathen,
and adopted in the fifth century by
the church as appropriate to her Sun,
matters not; enough for us that it is now,
by common consent, associated with the
nativity, and that its recurrence carries us
back to Bethlehem and the manger, to the
shepherds in the fields with their glorious
visitants, and that it enables us to hear and
to feel the peaceful benediction of the
“ heavenly host.” lienee, wo doubt not
that every heart which to-day shall trans
port itself away from the distractions of
the unhappy present, into the purer atmos
phere and the holier society of Bethlehem
Judea, will return filled with heavenly
blessings—with stronger faith, with warmer
love, with brighter hope ; with more of the
spirit of meekness, of patience, of long
suffering, of gentleness ; while it shall seem
to hear over and over again the voice of
the angel from the glory of the Lord, as
heaven’s present salutation to earth : “ Fear
not; for behold I bring you glad tidings of
great joy which shall be to all people.”
The lessons suggested by this day are
specially appropriate to our unhappy con
dition. We arc living in the midst of dark
ness. The recent past has few pleasant
memories ; the immediate future no bright
prospects. But, as Heaven once visited the
earth, we are not without hope that all will
yet be well. The sun will rise upon our
night, and darkness and shadows will flee
away.
We are encouraged in this hope by the
reflection that that visitation was at a
time not unlike the present. It was after
public liberty had been crushed ; after per
sonal licentiousness had become almost
universal; after Fanaticism had triumphed
over Truth; and after the few, who still
hoped and prayed and longed for a Deliver
er, had grown weary with waiting, that at
last He came! True, He came, not as it
had been expected, to establish earthly
peace, but to lift men up above earthly af
flictions ; to sanctify earthly tribulations;
and to transmute the very curses of this
world into the benedictions of heaven. But
the great fact is, that He came , and if He
came once, He may come again.
After all, this cherished hope of the pious
furnishes the best, if not, indeed, the only
solution of the perplexing problem of hu
man history. The allairs of earth arc evi
dently tending towards some end. The
Great Spirit that broods over its chaotic
elements will most surely evolve out of
them, sooner or later, order and harmony.
Events do not shape themselves—they are
shaped. Pharoah does not rise in power
and pride and majesty—he is raised up.
Go<l rules In history; rend by this deep plan,
Past ages harmonize their truths for man;
While man, unconscious of those secret laws,
Which liuk the second with a primal Cause,
Obeys each bias, acts his perfect will,
And yet leaves God supreme in purpose still.
This “ purpose” He declares to be, to
“ gather together in one all things in Christ.”
That the great circle of History, commenc
ing in Him as the Beginning, shall termi
nate in Him as the End.
Let us then wait and watch and be pa
tient. Our struggles at best are impotent;
our anxious cares are vain. What we
really need will not be secured by weari
some labor. Indeed, it is not something to
be wrought out by ourselves; but we shall
find, after all our efforts have failed, that
wholly independent of human agency and
human solicitude, and possibly in a way
never for a moment anticipated, God will
stoop down to us, as He did on this day,
with His “ unspeakable gift,” and substitute
for the peace of earth so fruitlessly sought,
the “ peace of God which passeth all under
standing.” And for aught we know, at this
very moment when all is darkest, this light
may be close at hand; when all is most
mysterious, the great harmonizing truth
may be just ready for annunciation.
Under all the circumstances, while we of
the South can not have a “ merry Christ
mas,” we may have what is better—and
this we most cordially wish our readers—a
trustful, hopeful Christmas. Our Father
who has aftlicted, and who continues to
scourge and to humble us, repeats to us to
day the same old Christmas words, first
heard by the shepherds: “ Fear not.” And
that symphony of the angels which began
in the fields of Bethlehem—“ Glory to God
in the highest! on earth peace, good will
toward men ” shall not cease until all na
tions and kindreds shall have heard its
music, and have responded— “ Hallelujah !
for toe Lord God omnipotent reign
eto.”

“Sarcasm.”
Those who know Andrew Johnson know
that his facial features arc not amiable and
prepossessing. They indicate intellect and
force of character, and show traces of his
early and long conflict with the
“ Twin jailors of the daring heart—
Low birth and iron fortune.” *
But they are not deftly cliisseled, nor have
they been trained to wear the smirk of affa
bility. He has been seen to smile, but the
expression resembled more the slow fall of
lurid artificial light over the jagged mouth
of a coal mine than the genial beaming
on the countenance of the soul when stirred
by pleasing sensations. •
One can imagine, then, the look of dia
bolic satisfaction which overspread his
face when he handed the Hancock message
to his Private Secretary to be delivered to
Congress. He felt good to his very giz
zard. In its latent, but withering irony,
couched in courteous phrase that the gen
tle Addison might have used, it was a Sa
tanic conception. Among official State pa
pers it has no model and no parallel, and is
a masterpiece however viewed. It is an
eminently proper communication to Con
gress ; it is due to General Hancock ; it is
patriotic intone; it is right in principle;
it is calculated to thrill a peoples’ hearts
who love liberty; but yet, withal, it is in
fernally malicious, for its decorous and
rounded sentences were doubtless intended
to pierce like barbed arrows the breasts of
men who have been false to every princi
ple of political virtue. And the Senatorial
consternation it produced showed that they
rankled in the mark they reached.
Message of the President—Recognition of
General Hancock’s Administration of Af
fairs at New Orleans.
The President yesterday sent the following
message to Congress :
Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of
Representatives:
Au official copy of the order issued by Major
General Winfield 8. Hancock, Commander of
the Fifth Military District, dated at headquar
ters in New Orleans, La., on the 29th day of
November, has reached me through the regular
channels of the War Department, and I here
with communicate it to Congress for such ac
tion ns may seem to be proper, in view of all
tlie circumstances.
It will he perceived that General Hancock an
nounces that he will make the law the rule of
his conduct; that he will uphold the courts
and other civil authorities in the performance
of their proper duties; and that he will use
his military power only to preserve the peace
and enforce the law. He declares very expli
citly that the sacred right of the trial by jury
and the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus
shall not be crushed out or trodden under foot.
He goes further, and, In one comprehensive
sentence, asserts that the principles of Ameri
can liberty are still the inheritance of this peo
ple, and ever should be.
When a great soldier, with unrestricted
power in his hands to oppress his fellow-men,
voluntarily foregoes the chance of gratifying
his selfish ambition, and devotes himself to the
duty of building up the liberties and strength
ening the laws of his country, he presents an
example of the highest public virtue that
human nature is capable of practising. The
strongest claim of Washington to be “first in
war, first in peace, and the first in the hearts of
his countrymen,” is founded on the great lact
that in all his illustrious career he scrupulously
abstained from violating the legal and constitu
tional rights of his fellow-citizens. When he
surrendered his commission to Congress, the
President of that body spoke his highest praise
in saying, that he had •“ always regarded the
rights of the civil authorities through all dan
«vi-g and disasters.” Whenever power above
the law courted bis acceptance, he calmly put
the temptation aside. By such magnanimous
acts of forbeaaance he won the universal admi
ration of mankind, and left a name which has
no rival in the history of the world.
I am far from saying that General Hancock
is the only officer of the American army who
is influenced by the example of Washington.—
Doubtless, thousands of them arc faithfully de
voted to the principles for which the men of
the revolution laid Sown their lives. But the
distinguished honor belongs to him of being
the first officer in high command, south of the
Potomac, since the close of the civil war, who
has given utterance to those noble sentiments
in tlie form of a military order.
I respectfully suggest to Congress that some
public recognition of General Hancock’s pa
triotic conduct is due, if not to him, to the
friends of lav/ and justice throughout the coun
try. Os such an act as his, at such a time, it is
but fit that the dignity should be vindicated
and the virtue proclaimed, so that its value as
an example may not be lost to the nation.

Twelfth Day’s Proceedings of the Georgia
Unconstitutional Convention.
REPORTED FOR TOE ATLANTA DAILT INTELLI
GENCER.
Atlanta, Ga., December 23.
Convention met pursuant to adjournment
and was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Tray
wick.
The journal of Saturday was read and ap
proved.
A. T. Akerman moved to reconsider so much
of the regular order as called for the hour of
two, p. m., as that on which the convention was
to adjourn, stating as his reason therefor that it
was requisite to have further time in which to
complete some financial arrangements, look
ing to the payment of the expenses of the con
vention.
Motion was carried, and A. T. Akerman then
said that he would furthermore move that the
conventiou do now take a recess to 3 o’clock of
this day. Carried.
And the couventiou then adjourned to that
hour.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention met at 3, p. m., pursuant to
recess taken at the morning session.
The Committee on Finance reported an ordi
nance, which was read as follows :
An Ordinance to authorize the negotiation of
a loan for defraying the expenses of this con
vention.
Be it ordained by the people of Georgia in
Convention assembled , That the disbursing offi
cer of this convention is hereby empowered to
negotiatiate a loan or loans, on reasonable'
terms, by the eighth day of January next, for
such sums as may be needed for the expenses
of this convention, and the pay and mileage of
the officers and members thereof; and that
this convention is hereby pledged to the exer
cise of all the powers which it possess, by the
acts of Congress or otherwise,' to provide
means for repaying such loans with the interest
agreed on.
J. E. Bryant moved that the report of the
disbursing officer of the convention, seut to
Milicdgeville, be read. Carried, and the report
was read ns lollows :
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 23d, 1867.
To the Georgia State Convention, in session at
Atlanta:
Tlie duty devolvingjon me by your action in
an ordinance appointing a disbursing officer,
authorizing him, to receive and receipt lor a
certain sum of money from the Treasurer, I
undertook to perform, by first getting instruc
tions from General Fope to the State Treasurer
to comply with tho provisions of said ordi
nance. On presenting said ordinance and in
structions to the said Treasurer at Milledgo
ville, the following response, in substance, was
received:
That, holding his office under tho constitu
tion of the State of Georgia, adopted in 1865,
being sworn to perform its duties according to
that constitution and the laws of the State—by
which lie was forbidden to pay money out of
the Treasury except upon warrant of the Gov
ernor and sanction of the Comptroller General
—and having entered into heavy bonds for the
faithful perlormance of the duties so prescribed,
he was compelled tc decline making the pay
ment ordered by the convention and authorized
by General Fope.
Respectfully submitted.
N..L. Angibb.
On motion, this report wus adopted, and the
body proceeded to the consideration of the or
dinance reported by the Finance Committee, as
above given.
J. E. Bryant opposed any attempt to negoti
ate a loan, it was utterly impossible. The
Treasurer bad snubbed the convention, and this
made its legality the test question, and he want
ed no further issues introduced.
Wesley Shropshire said Congress had given
no power to the convention to call upon the
Treasurer for money. To levy and collect a
tax, as provided in the reconstruction acts,
would take too much time, and there was noth
ing left but to issue bouds as provided in the
ordinance.
J. E. Bryant asked if there was any probabil
ity of negotiating such a loan.
Wesley Shropshire said that to adopt this
ordinance would at least give General Pope
“more strength, more nerve.”
J. E. Bryant repeated that the convention
had been snubbed by officers claiming to be of
ficers of 1 lie State; that tiiis brought up the
question of legality; and that he wanted this
met before further issues were made. He had
consulted with moneyed men, and there was
not one of them who would advance a dollar
while this was uncertain.
L. N. Trammell said it had been argued that
the present State government of Georgia was
illegal. If this was so, the money in the treasu
ry had been illegally collected, and would the
convention venture on such a step as to put in
their hands and take it out f He would have
nothing to do with such a scheme of robbery.
The reconstruction acts pointed out the way
in which funds were to be obtained, and in
this connection he would read a certain docu
ment ; which, being read,was as follows :
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 1,1867.
J. W. McDaniel:
Sib : Your attention is called to the following
extract from the Supplementary Act passed by
Congress, March 2d, 1867:
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted. That the
convention for each State shall prescribe the
fees, salary, and compensation to be paid to all
delegates and other officers and agents herein
authorized or necessary to carry into effect the
purposes of this act, not herein otherwise pro
vided for, and shall provide for the levy and
collection of such taxes on the property in such
Slate os may be necessary to pay the same.
The levying and collection of a special tax
for the payment of delegates will probably
cover a period of six to twelve months.
This may be a matter of interest to candi
dates. Respectfully,
E. Hulbebt.
C. C. Richardson asked if he was to under
stand that all delegates had received this no
tice. He had not.
L. N. Trammel said the member was hardly
in a position to have received it. fLanghter.J
He had only been a candidate one day before
the election, and that one hundred and fifty
miles away from his place of residence.—
[Laughter and loud applause in the lobby.J
The speaker then went on to reiterate that the
convention had no right to put its hand in the
Treasury,and so closed.
R. B. Bullock said the question was one of
right. The officers elect under the constitu
tion of 1865 had defied this convention. If
they could defy General Pope’s authority, then
members were personally unsafe; they were
committing treason against the State.
F. B. Bedford asked if there was any one in
the body of the convention who believed Gov.
Jenkins was the friend of any man there.—
[Murmurs and “No, no.”J The question was
who was to rule. If Johnson could rule the
convention, let him; if not, it would rule him.
The issue was between Gen. Fope and his pro
visional officers, and he wanted them to fight
it out. Gov. Jenkins was using the funds in
the Treasury to thwart reconstruction and
“mash it to the ground and he was "bound
to howl against it.”
H. V. M. Miller read largely from the past
legislation of the State, to show that a warrant
from the Governor was not necessarily pre
requisite to the paying out of money by the
Treasurer, and said that the real point was as
to the legality of the ordinance ; and he held
that if the convention had the right to legislate
at all, it had it as fully as any legislative body
in the State ever"has had or can have. [Hear,
hear, hear, from Aaron Alpeoria Bradley,
(negro) aud langhter.l
CL W. Ashburn could see no way in which the
convention conld be legally paid, except to send
out officers and collect the money.
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley (negro) wanted the
ordinance under consideration tabled, and the
Sergeant-at-Arms sent, with a file of soldiers,
to bring the Treasurer before the bar of the
convention. Pope would not dare to take
him away, nor would he refuse the guard of
soldiers.
J. E. Bryant raised a point of order on Aaron
Alpeoria Bradley (negro), but it was disallow
ed, and Aaron Alpeoria Bradley (negro) pro
ceeded to say the grievances of the convention
came not from Governor Jenkins, but Major
General John Pope, who was too weak-kneed
to do his duty.
W. F. Edwards said his view that Jenkins
should be turned out was now approved. He
wished to God that the convention could snub
General Pope, and he wished the ordinance not
tabled but under the table or kicked out of the
hall.
A. T. Akermau said the ordinance had no
thing to do with any war between General
Pope and the Governor, or the convention
and General Fope, but merely to obtain sup
plies while the war was going, on. The proba
bilities were that a loan could be negotiated.
Foster Blodgett opposed the adoption of the
ordinance, and on the vote being taken it was
not adopted by a vote of 43 ayes to 78 nays.
(Yeas aud nays in to-morrow’s issue.)
Here a motion to adjourn was made. Lost.
Foster Blodgett moved that a committee of
be appointed to go on to Washington aud
confer with authorities there as to the griev
ances of the convention.
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley (negro) insisted that
one of this committee should be a colored man
and all should be sound.
Charles H. Hopkins didn’t want the conven
tiou to adjourn without some pay.
G. W. Ashburn said Fope had brought “ us”
here, and was “ bound to sec we had rations.”
A negro delegate talked much and said noth
ing. Ho had “an idee that had struck into”
his head, but it did not appear, and after the
conclusion of the 600ty delegate’s remarks,
Foster Blodgett moved to adjourn to the Bth
of January. Lost amid great confusion.
J. E. Bryant wanted to reconsider the resolu
tion to take a recess to the Bth of January next,
but failed to carry his point.
R. B. Bullock moved to adjourn. Carried —
and the convention then adjourned.
[Thank God, that dog’s dead. By the stand
ing order the adjournment is over to the Bth
of January next, but the Great Unconstitution
al will never meet again. “ Poor Trust is dead.
Bad Fay killed him.” Farewell! Farewell!!]
[From tlie Anti-Slavery Standard.
The Republican Party in Pieces.
Washington, Dec. 9,1887.
The Republican party in Congress is
falling to pieces. It is being constantly
betrayed by its own friends. The great
organization—grandest of all mere political
parties ever formed—has no enemy so dan
gerous as the cowardly and treacherous,
the timid time-server, and the mere expedi
ency-mongers who dwell within its borders.
In Congress it fails constantly. It is falling
to pieces daily. A chief reason is because
it has no leader, no one brave enough to
strike back, or sagacious enough to see a
blow and ward it otF. Whatever else might
be said of Mr. Stevens’ leadership, it had the
merit of striking back, and of being always
ready to attack when liberty was threat
ened. A crowd of mere respectabilities
now strive to rule. All of them are
secretly conscious of their unfitness for the
position their ambition aspires to. So all
strike to prevent other men from that
direction. Sclienck is too cross, Kelley is
deemed too egotistical, Boutwell and Shel
labarger too modest, (a quality with which
not many are afflicted,) Butler is too impru
dent on an emergency, Logan is not yet a
skilful enough parliamentarian. Julian
would lie best, but he is too hard worked
and weary a man to undertake the task.—
For all practical purposes Mr. Stevens is
of the past, except so far as he can counsel.
It is no use disguising the fact. The Re
publican party is not now one. There arc
two distinct parties in its midst. The ques
tion is really which shall keep the great
name aud maintain the splendid organiza
tion. This honor belongs by all that is just
to the Radicals. The Conservatives have
no claim, many of them are petty and ped
dling soldiers of fortune, while the others
are jaundiced and disappointed politicians,
who grieve at being so near statesmanship
aud yet unable to make the people recognize
them as such. What transpired on the
black days—a twin disgrace—of last week
has given a final, if yet unrecognized, blow
at the unity of the party. Nothing can
keep these discordant elements together
long, except the pressure of an outside dan
ger, overwhelming as that which drove
them into fusion when Sumter was fired
upon. The Republican party in Congress
might have survived, though that is doubt
ful, the defeat of impeachment.
There are other measures that might have
rallied the shattered elements. But it can
neyer survive the utter wreck of mutual
confidence which has resulted from the
tyrannical and shameless conduct of the
majority which destroyed the nation’s great
hope. That conjunction of Conservative
fears and copperhead lusts was fitly exem
plified by the manner in which they crushed
all debate, destroyed free discussion, and
made parliamentary liberty a jest, and
brought to shape and scorn the highest pre
rogative bestowed by the Constitution on
the National Legislature. The tyrannical
conduct of the majority in preventing debate
has swept away the last hopes among dis
cerning men of looking to keeping the Re
publican party intact.
[From the N. Y. Express.
Alexander H. Stephens-
The telegraph announces that Alexander
H. Stephens has left his home for the North,
where he is to deliver lectures in response
to invitations from societies and prominent
citizens in various towns and cities. It lias
already been announced that he will lecture
at the Cooper Institute in this city.
This is encouraging. At the present
time—and, indeed, at all times—we need all
the wisdom of the country; and probably
the wildest fanatic would not maintain that
there is no wisdom south of Mason and
Dixon’s line. We can only get at the truth
by free discussion and the interchange of
opinions. We need especially the opinions
of the best people of the South. The Radi
cal policy since the war has been founded
on the principle that the opinion of the
people of the South, who are to be governed
by the law, is of no consequence at all in
the formation of the law. Congress has
shut its doors upon the eminent men of this
section, and it is worthy of a great people
that they have opened to them the doors o:
their Congress. The makers of Congress
welcome the wisdom which the members of
Congress disdain. The South has hereto
fore sent its envoys to Congress and the
President; let it now send them to the peo
ple. They, better than any others, can in
form us of the actual state of the Southern
people and of the operation of existing laws
in the South. They, probably, more than
any others, have reflected on the necessities
of their own country and their own people.
They, rather than any others, should be
able to suggest a wise policy for the present
emergency.
Mr. Stephens, however, will be heard with
attention and respect because he is Mr.
Stephens, as well as because he is a South
erner. Long the leader of his party in the
House of Representatives, he was acknowl
edged before the war as one of the foremost
men in all the nation, He is one of the few
men of the time who are at once eminent as
thinkers and eminent as orators. His ad
dresses are as valuable as they are attractive,
and as attractive as they are valuable. His
earnest effort to defeat the secession move
mens in his own State will especially re
commend him to the people of the North,
who, whatever they may think of his poli
tics, cannot fail to recognize him as an
honcSt and upright man.
Impudence.— Aoron Alpeoria Bradley, the
negro lawyer from Boston, took the New
York Herald's correspondent to task yesterday
in the unconstitutional convention, tor men
tioning him as a negro—an impudence which
was met with an assurance of a sound beating,
unless he left at once, which the Boston sage
proceeded to do. — lntelligencer , "2Mh.

SUGGESTIONS OF THE SEASON.-King Win
ter has waved his sceptro over the land, whitening the
earth, bridging the streams, and turning tlie water-falls
to pendant crystal. Upon animated as well as inanimate
nature, the frigid atmosphere produces a marked effect.
The blood is driven from the surface of tho body back
upon its inner fountains, and drills and Fever, Rheuma
tism, Pulmonary diseases, Biliousness, and unpleasant
disorders of tho stomach and bowels aro apt to be the
result.
Now, what is required to fortify the system against the
attacks of disease thus engendered ? Clearly a Tonic,
which, acting through the stomach upon the circulation
and the nervous system, shall redetermine the vital fluid
to the surface, and brace the nerves of motion and sen
sation. But tills is not ail that is required. With the
Tonic must be combined such Alterative and regulating
agencies as will tend to keep the wholo auirnal machine
ry “in good working order.”
These three grand requisites of a winter restorative
exist, in their fullest perfection, in IIOSTETTER’S
STOMACH BITTERS, which are compounded of tho
purest vegetable stimulants and extracts of the most
gonial and healthful roots, barks aud plants that the
herbalists and botanists of the world have yet discov
ered. doclS-Oanl
