FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 3, JB6B.
DEMOOEATIO MEETING.
There was an immense gathering of the
people, last evening, at Concert Hall, to
listen to addresses by the Hon. Linton
Stephens and Gen. John 11. Gokdon. Mr.
Stephens entered into a long and exhaust
ive argument against the proposed State
constitution, objecting to it on account of
the source from which it emanated and the
evils it would indubitably fasten, if ratified,
upon the South and the whole country.
He regarded it as the assassination of Re
publican liberty, destructive alike of the
interests of all true men, and grateful alone
to those who have labored so persistently
to overthrow the government established
by the Fathers. lie was particularly se
vere upon those Skowhegan statesmen who
have come among us, not for our good, but,
like the painted mistresses of King Geokge,
for our goods. At this stage of the elo
quent speaker’s remarks, one of these car
pet-bag Georgians, from some remote sec
tion of New England, became obstreperous
and had to he conducted to the door.
Mr. Stephens was particularly happy in
his illustrations ol'the folly of relief, com
paring the parties who betrayed their coun
try for a bribe to Judas, who had the sat
isfaction of getting his money, a consum
mation which would be denied to those
consenting to treachery on a false pretence.
He demonstrated that, though Congress and
Georgia Judges might wink at the relief
ordinance, the United States Court, under
the bankrupt act, would explode all ordi
nances militating against established laws.
Creditors would be still empowered to force
debtors into bankruptcy, Bullock and his
relief bill, to the contrary notwithstanding.
He further proved that the only parties ac
tually to be relieved were rich men owing
small sums, under SSOO, to poor widows
and indigent men.
Gen. Gordon, in a speech full of fire,
pathos, and argumentation, kept (lie audi
ence spell-bound. He departed, to a great
extent, from dry details, and appealed to
the noblest sentiments of the soul.
This meeting was a great success and
calculated to rouse our people to renewed
energy and fervor.
Our New York Correspondence-
New York, March 28.
The course of the House of Representa
tives, to-day, in setting up, in Alabama, as
a “ Provisional Governmerit,” the “consti
tution” and “ State officers” which have
been rejected by the people of that State,
must be regarded as a warning that the
policy of inaction can no longer be pursued
with safety by the Conservative people of
the South'; but that in contending with a
factiou that knows neither right nor de
cency, nor the binding force ol its own
enactments, every advantage which wealth,
aodai position and superior intelligence
can give, must be used in the hope of pre
serving to yourselves the last remnants of
those things which make life endurable.
MR JOHNSON’S TRIAL.
Can any one doubt, in view of the steps
taken towards Alabama, what the result of
Mr. Johnson’s trial will be? It is to com
mence on Monday; and should any one
hope that either the law or the evidence
will avail him anything ? Therefore his
deposition, daring the coming month, may
be a “ fixed fact.” In truth the
'ft'--' 1 hnlj Jyi
ll!s trial,
the mu
ejection from the
White "House.
THE COMIC ASPECT.
It is, perhaps, natural that the indifferent
should take an amusing view of Mr. John
son’s dilemma. The comic papers, which
do not cater to any very elevated senti
ments ; depending, in fact, upon the suc
cess with which they reflect the humor of
the hour, are “ poking fun ” at every body
connected with the matter. Johnson,
Seward, Stanton, Stevens, Greeley, Butler
and Bingham don’t escape. 1 have been ex
tremely amused at the elforts of an “artist ,
(as they call the wood choppers for the
“ pictorials,”) to furnish a series of Cax
tons, in which all Democrats, Conserva
tives, Radicals, and Johqponites, may liud
something to laugh at. But the “ guns ”
which they provoke have something sar
donic in them, well illustrating the difficul
ties to be overcome. The well known wit,
who writes under the non de plume of
Orpheus C. Kerr (office seeker) perpetrates a
very good joke on the affair. He writes
that he has been invited to attend an “ Im
peachment Matine,” as he calls the trial of
the President, at the “ Theatre of War,” as
he calls the Senate Chamber ; with the fol
lowing

keenly the wrong which is being put upon
him.
THE FASHIONS.
The opening of the season for spring
fashions for the ladies lias called forth a
flood of details as to such matters, which,
being subject to modification by the stature
and form, as well as by the complexion and
taste of the wearer, are of very little prac
tical value. But there are some points of
a more general character, which may be
named. In the first place the hat, without
being larger than last season, will be made
more showy, by being turned upward and
outward at the front—it will “ flaxing,” to
use an expressive word. A belted tunic
and a pannier (so-called, being no less than
the old-fashioned bustle, ) extending
around the entire waist, are also novelties.
The pannier is understood to be adopted in
consideration of the increasing corpulency
of Empress Eugenie, just as. it prevailed
twenty years ago, during the period of
Qneen Victoria’s extraordinary fecundity.
The belted tunic is elaborately trimmed
with bugle gimp and jets. There is no
change in skirts; they are still cut “ gor
ing.” pace skirts are to be worn consider
ably over silks in the streets, as they have
been the past winter in the-drawing rooms.
The shoe must be sharp and round-toed,
with high, small heels, instead of square
toed, with wide heels.
AN ERA. OF THIEVES.
The shocking demoralization of society,
the result of the pervading greed for gain,
forces itself upon one’s attention constant
ly. The difficulty of procuring persons to
fill positions of trust, has become very
great; thieving of some sort is the rale,
rather than the exception. The manager of
an establishment which employs a number
of lads as messengers, told me the other
day that he had but one among them all
whom he could trust to take letters to the
post office. The others would steal the
stamps from the envelopes and sell them ;
and repeated changes brought him no im
provement. The ingenuity of publishers
lias beeu exhausted to prevent their messen
gers rifling letters in bringing them from
the post office. It is not among youths
alone that such striking dishonesty pre
vails. The proceedings of the great rail
way contestants to get the better of eacii
other have partaken of the morals of the
robber chiefs of the Scottish border, whose
law was,
“ Let him take who has the power,
And let him keep who can.”
Attempts at kidnapping and burglary have
been the incidents of the contest. Deliber
ate and purchased falsehoods and reckless
slanders are of every day occurrence in the
financial reports to the leading press of this
city, and sent hence by telegraph, to deceive
the unwary. The cable to Europe seems to
be so unblushingly tampered with that it
has passed into a proverb, with many, to
“ sell when it quotes an advance and buy
when it quotes a decline.” I have a friend
who has made considerable sums by opera
ting on this rule; though of course he is
liable to lie badly “ jockied ” at times.
Much of this demoralization is due to
the large influx among us of European
population, with whom “per centage” and
“perquisites” to the subordinate are part
of their business education. Our habits of
business do not allow them—hence, positive
dishonesty takes their place; and its devel
opment, rapid as it has been since the com
mencement of the late war, is a melancholy
illustration of the evil times upon which
we have fallen.
MORE CHURCH CONROVERSY.
The Rev. Tyng, Jr., assumes a belli- case
attitude since his late reprimand by his
his Bishop; but he has hard work to keep
himself “ before the public,” as the poli
ticians have it. In the meantime, there is
a controversy on the subject of music in
several of the churches; and there is a
queer play at cross purposes in its progress,
in several of “ low church” congregations
there has beeu a tendency towards French
and Italian music, performed by a quartette
of experts, reminding the listener of the
opera and the fashionable concert, rather
than of the house of God. The “ high
church” people on the contrary, while
providing for good music, affect the chants
and monotonies of the old English cathedral
service. The controversy on these points
has been hitter for some time, and it is only
in the past week, that in Zion Church,
(Bishop Southgat’s,) has the firmness of the
Bishop prevailed over the opposition of
members of the Vestry, and an Italian
quartette notified that their services will
not be required after the first of May, when
their places will be supplied with a double
choir, who will wear surplices and occupy
stalls in the church near the pulpit. A
notable evidence of the remains of Judaism
still clinging to this branch of the Christian
Church, is the practice, in many congrega
tions, of excluding female voices from the
choirs, supplying their place with boys.
It may not be known to many, that in
orthodox Jewish synagogues women are
only allowed in the galleries; and this
practice causes no surprise. But, in a
church whose Founder never ceased to
honor woman—appearing to her just after
ilis resurrection—this sort of proscription
of young women and their sweet voices
from Ilis worship, seems inexplicable.
BUSINESS MATTERS.
Cotton lias further advanced, with an
other pause. There is danger from the food
question v- Cottonaptala—««**seil bow
they did when cot
ton was 17c. ’P H>., and the price of food is
advancing, on a strong demand for ship
ment to the west of Europe, where there is
renewed evidence of a scarcity amounting
almost to famine.
The money market is not so stringent,
and business generally is improving, al
though people begin to think the proposi
tion before Congress to remove certain
taxes is a bit of sham, and the differences
between the two houses a bit of humbug to
excuse the Radicals for failing to do what
they dare not openly refuse to do.

LFrom the Charleston Mercury.
Who Is He? Where Did He Gome From?
Our readers will remember that many
months ago Ills Honor Judge Aldrich, of
Barnwell, was suspended from his office as
one of the Judges of the Court of Common
Pleas and General Session of South Caro
lina, by order of the commander of the
Second Military District. The cause as
signed for the suspension of Judge Aldrich
was his refusal to permit to be carried into
effect the order of General Sickles allowing
negroes to sit on juries.
The commission held by Judge Aldrich
was from the State of South Carolina ; or
else he had none to sit, summon, or decree
in the above named courts. He was bound
by the laws of South Carolina as an honest
judge. By no law of South Carolina could
a negro sit on a jury.
So the Judge was ousted, and the prom
ised Messiah of the Bench has at last been
given to us, if not born to us,

We have lreen able to discover but one visi
ble proof of Mr. Zephauiah, and then he
seems immediately to glide back and away
into that vast unknown region where Zo
phos is king and parent. Mr. Zephaniah
(so floats a vague rumor, uncertain as the
wind,) is the father-in-law of Colonel Wil

lohnson Superior Court.— The Superior
Court ot Johnson county was in session last
week, His Honor Judtce Gibson presided with
his accustomed dignity. Little or no business
was transacted, the court adjourned on Tues
day morning. We noticed among the members
of die legal lraleruity in attendance upon the
court, Messrs. Daley, of Reidsville, Wolf, of
Dublin, Knight, of Savannah, Evans and Rob
son, of Sandcrsville, Stubbs, of Laurence, and
the Attorney General J. P. C. Whitehead. The
local bar, Messrs. Bostick and Robson, were
on haod “ right side up with care.”
The people all seem to be doing well; now
and then we could hear some little complaint
o: hard times, but so far as we had an oppor
tunity of judging we were satisfied that the
citizens of Johnson county are doing as well
as we could possibly expect anywhere’ in these
dr .vs of difficulties. There was some little feel
ing in relation to the election of county officers
and members of the General Assembly.

A French illustrated paper represents a gen
tleman his fire reading a newspaper,
while a visitorian agent for a rival sheet, says
lohim: ‘'Don’t subscribe any more to that
journal. It has only had three duels, while
mine has had five, and is much more progress
ive than the one you have.”
Cheering News—Head Cut Off.— We
are gratified at being able to announce to
our readers that Hon. Dr. J. W. Clift, M.
C. would be, was neatly and scientifically
decapitated on Saturday last. A single
stroke removed his head from his shoulders,
and he is no longer in a position to commit
fraud or injure the cause of the respectable
people of Savannah.
In accordance with the suggestions con
tained in the Republican of Friday, a num
ber of gentlemen waited upon Gen. Meade,
while in this city, and represented to him
that the carpenter-doctor was a member of
the Board of Registration, and at the same
time a candidate for office; the language
made use of by Booby—“the names of many
white men will be stricken from the list
also had its effect, and the doctor was sent
for and informed that his services were no
longer required—and the place which knew
him once will know him no more. Let us
weep.
To fill the vacancy, Gen. Meade appoint
ed E. 11. Kirliu, Esq., the popular “mine
host” of the Our House, who, at the solici
tation of friends, was induced to accept
the arduous position. White men may
now rest assured that they will be protect
ed in their rights, and many who, upon the
most frivolous pretences, were refused re
gistration, can now make application and
obtain their rights.
\Savannah Republican, 29 th ult.
A correspondent of the Scientific American
writes as follows:
When I resided in Pennsylvania, J, in com
pany with manj’ other lads, used to tie a bundle
of horse hairs into a hard knot and then im
merse them into the brook, when the water
began to get warm and in due time we would
have just as many animals, with the power ol
locomotion and appearance of snakes as there
were hairs in the bundle. I have raised them
one-eight of an inch in diameter, with percepti
ble eyes and mouth on the butt or root of the
hair. Take such a snake and dip it into an
alkaline, solution, and the flesh and mucous
that formed about the hair will dissolve, and
the veritable horse hair is lelt. They wifi not
generate in limestone water, only the freestone
or salt water.
The Bt. Louis Democrat, speaking of Grant’s
(senior's) account of the early life of Grant,
Junior, says that justice to the statement that
he made every proper effort to prevent their
publication. It is now understood that he has
quite recently made such peremptory repre
sentations as will be apt to stop their appear
ance.
