FRIDAY MORNING. FEB. 28. 1868
THE DEMOCRACY.
We rejoice to witness the rapid and sub
stantial organization of all parties opposed
to the revolutionary faction now in power.
Democratic clubs arc formed, or are in
course of formation, in every county, city
and wards of the cities. It is gratifying
to observe the alacrity and zeal manifested
by many sterling and prominent'Old Line
Whigs in affiliating with the Democracy.
Some of these men have spent many years
in a persistent and conscientious antago
nism to the Democratic part}'. They feel,
however, that it is the part of true patriot
ism to march shoulder to shoulder
with their old adversaries, who entreat
them to forget ancient grudges and
unite for a grand campaign against
the traitors, who, in the name ol vir
tue and under the harlequinades of law,
have subverted the gorgeous fabric built by
Washington ami Jefferson. There are
but two parties now; one that seeks to de
stroy, the other to preserve the rich legacies
of the Fathers. There are but two parties—
Radical and Democrat. It will not do to
falter. Every man must take sides with
the one or with the other. Every man must
decide whether he will go with Baal or
with God. There can be no middle ground ;
for, very soon, the war-cry of either host
will be : “ He that is not with ns is against
We beg our friends throughout the State
to press forward enthusiastically in the
work of organization. Let it be compre
hensive in its objects and perfect in its de
tails. Let the rolls be inscribed with every
name that can be procured. Let the people
of the State know that the great issue,
after all, is whether this is to be a White
Man’s Government, or a Negro-Radical-
Renegade Oligarchy and Pandemonium.
Let them understand that no moneyed
•bribe should be able to purchase the spot
less inheritance of an Anglo-Saxon free
man. Organize everywhere. Let the State
of Georgia present such an array of virtue,
intelligence, honesty and patriotism, against
the vile renegades and carpet-bag gentry,
that they will tremble for the future. Let
these native and imported adventurers un
derstand that their misdeeds will be re
membered ; that we regard them as foul
excrescences, which must and shall be
lopped off the body politic, sooner or later;
that, through good and evil report, we will
never give them a moment’s rest, and the
measure they mete out shall be meted back
again. It is just as well to keep them in a
wholesome fear of ulterior consequences;
for one-half the villany perpetrated by
conspirators is founded in the meekness of
victorious reaction. They reckon upon the
commission of every civic crime with im
punity ; on the present occasion, they reck
on without reason. Let them understand
this fully and promptly.
Congress has again patched the Recon
struction Act and the rents are mended as
well as possible. Many persons may,
under the requirement of a majority of votes
cast, clamor for action at the polls. This
last botch of Congress has not changed our
opinion with regard to the policy of keeping
away from the polls. It will be objected
that our adherence to this method was all
very well when a majority of the registered
vote was imposed ; but under the new
patch-work, we must either vote our
men in, or allow the Skowheganite can-
dictates to “ walk over the course.” The
objection is plausible, but not sagacious.
It must occur to every thinking man that
Congress har. determined to regulate the
reconstruction of the Southern States and
the votes, thereunder to suit the Radical
element. The power to do this is almost
omnipotent; our influence to defeat this ne
farious scheme is as nothing. Suppose the
Democracy should run candidates, does
any sane man believe that llulrert, even
if we had majorities, would make a truth
ful return ? Or, in case he made a correct
return, does any rational being imagine
that the Great Botch at Washington
would not come to his rescue and Sherman
ize the matter? We cannot make an effect
ual contest at the ballot box. If we
won, our victory would be turned to dust
and ashes; if we lost, and this is the more
probable conjecture, our position would
be humiliating beyond expression. Wc
would have to endure, in abject silence, the
taunts of our oppressors, at home and
abroad, for having accepted the wager of
a contest in which no possible honor could
be won, and, with stark madness, suffered
an overthrow which would be balm of
Gilead to the negro-worshippers. The
mill who voluntarily fights with a black
guard puts himself on a mean level; the
man who voluntarily lights with a black
guard, knowing that the blackguard ia
certain to whip him in such an encounter,
is a fool who deserves no sympathy. He,
however, who keeps aloof from the black
guard, blackguardism rules the roast,
.is wise aud prudent. Nothing pleases a
ruffian so much as the advantage which
gentlemen sometimes accord to him. Noth
ing would so delight Radicals as an attempt
pf the Democracy to defeat them at the
Southern polls. To induce such a contest,
the Mongrel Congress has passed this very
law requiring a majority of votes cast. To
tempt our people to drop into this pitfall,
the Radical papers are endeavoring to stir
up a trial of this kind. Happy those who
have never touched the villany of Congress
in any shape ; and, we shall die in the be
lief that he who has had the least to do
with it is the most genuine patriot and
wisest man.
“Then,” may exclaim some irritated
lover of franchise under all circumstances, —
“ then the scalawags shall be permitted to
have the thing all to themselves.” Ay, all
to themselves. We do not hesitate one mo
ment In the reply—let them have it all to
themselves.
We so speak because i t is a fixed fact that
the battle for our deliverance is to be fought
at the North. If Democracy should go
down, we. will have the carpet-bag lords all
the same. If Democracy should triumph,
there is no record of Jhe present shame
Which shall not be erased.
Wade’s Cabinet.— The Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Gazette, speak
ing of Wade, says: “ Already lists 'of his
‘ Cabinet ’ are in circulation, containing the
names of the martyr Sickles, the heroic
Pope, the incorruptible Butler, the oratori
cal Logan, Honest Simon Cameron and the
Carnot of the War Office. Mr. Stevens, I
learn, declines on account of ill health, and
Mr. Sumner, with classical gracefulness,
wittily gives forth that he prefers to re
main Secretary of the Exterior!”
On the Rampage.—Forney says, “if
Andrew Johnson can so far forget him
self, he will repeat the tragedy of April 12th,
18C1.” If the President should thus forget
himself, Forney thi’eateus that “ Nemesis
will be dramatic.” We suppose this to be
a murderous threat deftly hidden under a
classicism. Forney evidently means that
Johnson bids fair to follow Lincoln ; for
the only time, in American history, that
Nemesis became dramatic was at Ford’s
Theatre in 1866.
Doubtful. —The New York Herald says:
“ The President is playing an adroit piece
of strategy by nominating Union Generals for
prominent positions, and puttiug the Repub
lican Senate in the attitude, by rejecting them,
of refusing to do honor to gallant soldiers.”
When the “ Union Generals ” refuse the
“ prominent positions," what becomes of
the “adroit strategy ?”
Prophetic Patrick. —In 1788, Patrick
Henry opposed the adoption of the Federal
Constitution. He predicted that it would
prove a consolidated power and a despotism,
tie further prophesied that the State Legis
latures which, according to Alexander
Hamilton, were to be bulwarks against
tyranny, would become “ ludicrous specta
cles.” There were giants in those days.
Brass Brassy I The Republican National
Nominating Committee have issued an ad
dress to the people, inviting all “ friends of
an economical administration of the public
expenditure” to co-operate with the Radical
party. If the Radicals are the friends of
public economy, then is truth a liar.—
“ Economical administration." That’s a
good one.
State Rights.— The Northern people in
vaded the South because she asserted the
doctrine of State Rights. Our Invaders are
beginning to discover’that, in bursting open
the portal of State Rights, they have made
their country the prey of thieves. Well did
Jkffehson Davis say in 1865: “ We have
lost our cause, but our principles still live."
Gospel Truth.—“ Southern Society ” re
marks with much pitli:
“ Southern statesmen made our Government
what it was, Northern demagogues have made
it what it is."
A world of meaning is salted down in
that snug sentence.
Quack ! —Fohney says the “ flag is itn
l>eriled.” Sergeant Bates thinks its chief
peril comes from Forney. When we cursed
the “ old flag,” the Dead Duck quacked out
“the flag is imperiled.” When we give it a
rousing reception, as at Montgomery, For
nf.y quacks out the same old song.
Sublime Impudence. —Bearing the im
pcnchmcnt resolution to the Sen/itc, Thad
Stevens said lie “ appeared in the name of
the House of Representatives and of all the
people of the United States /” When old Thad
has made up his mind to lie he lies enor
mously.
Swinging Round.—Bennett look up
Grant ; then lie dropped him. Again did
Bennett take up Grant, and now again
he drops him. The Radical papers are be
wildered, and we expect them to assert that
it is not Grant who gets drunk, but Ben
nett avlio takes a “ drop too much.”
The War Office Cook.— lt was the man
Stanton, now so “ trooly loil,” who roared
out like a bull of Bashau in 1861: “Why
hunt gorillas in Africa when you have one
in the White-House.”
Butler on Grant. —The discussion of
the Army Appropriation bill on Wednesday
lastgave rise to a rather remarkable and
factious spirit on the part of a number of
prominent Radicals in the House of Repre
sentatives. Asa recommendation of the
contemplated sums of appropriation, Mr
Blaine, who had the Army bill in hand,
stated that the estimates had been carefully
examined and revised by General Grant,
leaving the inference to be drawn that
therefore it would be the height of presump
tion or of disrespect to gainsay their ac
curacy. The factious Radicals listened
with commendable patience until that por
tion of the bill under discussion, the reduc
tion of the army was about to be put to a
vote, when Ben Butler rose and launched a
broadside Into the friends of the General.—
He discovered that there was a Constitution
existing, which he used as a shield, and said
that instrument gave no authority whatever
to any general to dictate to Congress how
much or how little they should appropriate
for any particular arm of the Government.
He thought such a practice would lead to
despotism, and if it was intended to keep
this up Congress might as well turn over
their whole business to the officers of the
Government and go home. Butler,was
encouraged in his remarks by several voices,
“That’s so,” “Go ahead,” which produced
a marked sensation among the placable
friends of Grant. This rebellious feeling
has of late commenced to show itself more
openly and displays a rancor in the breasts
of some boding trouble in camp.

Newspaper Change.— We find in the Ma
con Journal % Messenger, of yesterday, the
lowing card:
To the Public.-The undersigned beg to
announce to the public and the readers of this
old and honored journal, that they have
bought from Messrs. Rose & Burr the estab
lishment known as the daily and weekly Jour
nal and Messenger newspaper, and Job Office
connected therewith, and that it will hereafter
be conducted under the firm name of J. W.
Burke & Cos. For the present the office will
remain at the old stand, on Cherry street, but
as soon as possible it will be removed to their
headquarters, on Second street. Due notice
will be given of the change.
Mr. A. R. Reese, who has edited the Daily
for the past eight months, will continue in
charge of its editorial colums.
Mr. Rose, the senior partner in the late
firm of Rose & Burr, continues his connection
with the paper. J. W. Burke & Cos.
The Two Generals 'rHOMAs.— The reader
must not confound the Gen. Thomas appointed
to the War Department in the place of Stanton
with General Thomas, of Chattanooga and Nash
ville. The former, Lorenzo Thomas, now qnlte
an old man, was iormerly Adjutant General of
the army, and latterly, we believe, the general
superintendent or inspector of the national
cemeteries, and still later restored to the poßt
of Adjutant General in the War Office. The lat
ter, Gen. George H. Thomas, now in command
of the Department of the Cumberland, (Ken
tucky and Tennessee,) is in the prime of file.

Thoughts for the Times.
NUMBER 11.
From the fiill of Adam [brought on by
rebellion against the government of God,)
man has been trying to save himself by
some decree of his own. Nimrod, the hunt
er of men, the first founder of kingdoms,
gathered the masses around him undertlie
delusive promise or building a tower high
enough to secure them against any future
deluge. Confusion was the result, and a
dispersion of the Noachic family followed.
Bnt God allowed the kingdom to remain;
and so securely based was it, that, hundreds
of years after, its head conquered and led
captive the chosen people of God. It must
have had some great element of power in it,
for the prophet Daniel, in Ms interpreta
tion of the image typical of the earthly
kingdoms, expressed it by the head of Gold;
and that it was a splendid one in outer ap
pearance—the exhumation of the palaces of
Ninevah in our own day sufficiently de
monstrate. ,
Daniel pretold the rise, first of the King
dom of Gold ; secondly, of the Kingdom of
Silver; thirdly, r of that of Brass; finally,
that of Iron and Miry Clay—the w'hole to
be smitten down by the small stone rolling
from the .mountain, and swelling till it
covered the whole earth.
Bible readers understand this to indicate
the rise and fall of the great empires; the
feet, meaning the Roman Empire and the
Roman Church, with its ten kings or
horses. But the Romau Church was a
part and parcel of the Roman Empire un
der Constantine, and the appointment of
the“ Universal Bishop” by Phocas, in 606,
was a confirmation of the union.—
That the Pope was only a successor
of the Caesars, or the tenant of those
who claimed to be such, has generally been
admitted, and therefore the “ legs ” may
properly include it. The expression of
Daniel, “and whereas thou savest iron
mixed with clay, they shall mingle themselves
with the seed of men," refers to the Democratic
element of the later governments, which
certainly has “broken” the iron sway of
their strong rule, although “ they do not
cleave together, as iron cannot mix with
clay.” In every government on earth we
see now that the infusion of the material
spirit has had the effect of weakening it;
and in our own especially, has substituted
the products of “compromises” for the
fruits of “ principles ” carried to their pro
per end. Party expediency has supplanted
constitution and laws in church and State
till we are calling for a strong government
in both, acknowledging that men are unfit
for self-government.
And this, we suppose, was precisely the
lesson to be taught to the rebel—man—be
fore he would be ready for that Kingdom
which “ the God of Heaven shall set up,
and which never shall be destroyed; which
shall not be left to other people, but shall
stand forever;” and it was precisely to
teach this lesson that, in spite of Fourth of
July orations, the failure of the great
American Republic was allowed, and the
attempt to purify it, under the Confederacy,
thwarted. “ We, the people,” did not ac
knowledge God, as one head, and the Con
federates, although they did in a measure
by the adoption of the motto ’* Deo Vindicef
virtually recognized “ King Cotton ” as
their Saviour, and looked “ to Egypt for
help.” Our first step upward then must be
to recognize God as our king, and then to
act in such a way as to secure his favor
and protection, and, in the process of time,
He shall come to make our way so plain
that neither people nor ruler can err there
in. That such a proposition, if suggested
to the many, with the expectation that it
would be attended to, would be Utopian,
we admit; but we must recollect that in
matters of Church and State alike, the
greater number of men have no time to join
ideas or to digest principles whereby to
regulate their actions, but must have them
supplied by those in whom they have con
fidence. “ Save our souls, aud you may do
what you please in the forms and manner
of doing it,” say they to the church. “Save
our bodies, our comforts, our wealth, and
you may command our votes,” say they to
their political leaders. It is thus that ten
meu might ha\ e saved Sodom, and it is
thus that a few earnest and energetic men
(relying always on God for support,) may
yet save the world from a deluge of blood,
and prepare the way for Him, on whose
thigh is written King of Kings and Lord of
Lords, and who was nevertheless the first
teacher of the doctrines of Democracy and
expounder of. the principles of Rational
Liberty and founder of the one universal
and indivisible church.
Christians feel that they cannot save
themselves, either in this world or the next,
and yet in the affairs of the State they act
as If they expected salvation from the suc
cess of such or such party. Many, have
given up politics altogether, feeling that
God will take care of general mattei's and
in His own good time will make all right.
Doubtless He will, but we must not forget
that next to faith stands “ virtus ” (“ mauly
energy ”) and that He expects His servants
to co-operate with Him in overturning the
kingdom of darkness, which must flee be
fore the Sun of Righteousness, that comes
with healing on his wings.
In our next we will come to the practical,
if not convincingly to the practicable.

Important Internal Revenue Decision.
—Commissioner Rollins, of the Internal Reve
nue Bureau, has recently sent the following de
cision to a gentleman of this city, which will be
of general interest:
“ Every change in a firm by which a member
retires from the stime, whether anew partner
takes his place, or the surviving partner con
tinues the business alone, or by which a former
proprietor disposes of his entire business, and
a successor takes bis place, constitute alike in
contemplation o's law, anew person or firm
liable to special tax for the balance of the year
for which tax has once been paid by the origi
nal firm or owner. No provision of law exists
in relation to special tax receipts similar to that
which formerly admitted of the transfer of a
license from one person or firm to a successor
by indorsement of the collector, and you will
therefore perceive that in the case you cite, the
party continuing the business ninst be held
liable for special tax from the first of the month
in which he became the successor of the firm.
In the case of dealers, manufacturers, hotel
keepers, and some others, having paid special
tax as such, when it appears to the satisfaction
of the assessor,fon the first day of May, 1868,
that the sales, products, or gross receipts, as
the case may be, of any person or firm, have
not exceeded one thousand dollars in value for
the year then ending, the assessor or some as
sistant will aid in preparing a proper claim
upon the office to have the tax paid refunded.
Bankers, brokers, liquor dealers, and some
others who hav#done any business as such, are
not thus privileged with respect to refunding
taxes paid.”

Disastrous Fire—Sad Accident.
On Friday morning hist, at about 4 o’clock, a
Are was discovered in a vacant store on Mon
roe street, between the State Bank building
and the store of Messrs. Kirksey and Johnson.
It had progressed so far as to render it impos
sible to extinguish the flames. The fire was in
the centre of a large block, and it was feared
that unless promptly arrested the entire block
would be. consumed. Fortunately a parapet wall
saved the State Bank, though it was greatly
damaged, but the flames communicated with
Messrs. Kirksey & Johnson’s store under the
roof, and owing to the great heat, the steepness
of the roof and the want of fire apparatus, that
building was also consumed. A large part of
the extensive of goods went with the
store.
The first building belonged to Mrs. Janies M.
Shine and was insured for only #I,OOO. Messrs.
Kirksey & Johnson were insured on the build
ing $4,000 —on their stock of goods $30,000. —
The risk on the bnildiug falls on the Gulf
State Insurance Company—that on the goods
ou foreign companies—that is, tlie Underwri
ter’s Agency. The damage on the State Bank
building, which belongs to M. D. Papy, Esq.,
fails on the Home Insurance Comoany, ol New
York.
There is not a shadow of doubt that tbc fire
was the work of an incendiary. It originated
iq a vacant building, and necessarily must have
been communicated to it by outsiders, but bv
whom will perhaps never he known. It is sad
to think that we have any among us so vile as
to risk large amounts ol propcaty for any pur
pose, whether of plunder or revenge. We
should be loth to charge these acts of incen
diarism to political influences, but that there
has been an intense feeling excited by bad men
cannot I»e disguised, and it may be that dupes
have been found who have been made to
believe that they would serve the interests of
race or party by destroying property.
Among the sad consequences of the fire was
the death of a soldier, who fell a victim to his
efforts to save goods from the store of Messrs.
Kirksey & Johnson. There was in the rear of
the main building a warehouse, which contain
ed many articles ol value. At the latest mo
ment, two soldiers and a citizen, Mr. Page,
were at work in the warehouse, when, unex
pectedly to everybody, a portion of !he wall
fell m on the floor of the warehouse, which as
speedily gave way, injuring Mr. Page and one
soldier, but crushing the other and burying
him beneath the mass though not killing him.
Prompt efforts .were made to extricate him ns
well by officers and soldiers of the regiment as
citizens, but the flames were too hot, and the
poor fellow, amid the distress of the specta
tors and his own cries for help and groans of
suffering, was literally burned to death. He
died a martyr to bis zeal in the effort to save
the property o! strangers. Perhaps the best ac
count we can print ot this brave hut unfortu
nate youth, for he was only 19 years of age, is
to give the Hospital register of hisfcSast admis
sion, which has been handed to ns :

ment—7th U. S. Infantry; when admitted —
January 30th, 186S; from what source—from

Diagnosis; intermittent Fever.
Burned alive February 31st, 1858, when try
ing to save property at Tallnhu see, Fla.
It may he mentioned that, v/hen it was found
that it was impossible lo rescue him, a sugges
tion was made, that he should he instantly killed
by a blow- from an axe in the hands of a com
rade, but he beajged them not to do it. Hope
of ultimate safety, even in bin desperate strait,
did not desert hint.
His remains were rescued on Friday, and
were buried in the afternoon of that day, be
ing followed to the grave by a large concourse
of citizens and soldiers, among the former of
whom was the Governor of the Stale, with
many others of% prominence. The deepest
feeling was manifested lor his terrible fate, and
the warmest sympathy felt for his bereaved
relatives.
Since the above was written we learn that
Mr. Alfred Ktndon, of the firm of Kindon &
Tibhetls, was seriously injured in the tumbling
down of the wall at the late fire, and who, w r e
understand, is confined to his bed from the in
juries received.
That Strike.—The colored strikers are like
ly to find that they have struck in the wrong
direction, and that a blow' for higher pay ntay
blow them permanently out of work. At At
lantic wharf there lies the ship Missouri taking
In cargo for' Boston. This vessel will carry
ahouLtoxmtwdkhl. hundred eompmsed hales
of cotton, artrl Would have been a handsome
penny in the pockets of thefreedrnen. But the
freedmeu struck, and, as there was no chance
of their speedily coining to reason, measures
were promptly taken to fill the vacant chairs at
the industrial board. A large force ot white
stevedores was gathered together, and on yes
terday the work on the Missouri was done ex
clusively by white inert. They did a handsome
day’s work, and arc well satisfied that “ it is an
ill wind which blows nobody good.”
