JONSTITUTIONALIST. aug-usta. ga. FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 15,1868 TEE FUTURE- Col. John FoKSYTn’s latest communica tion to the Mobile Register is a most inter esting document. We copy such portions as must prove entertaining and instructive, iu view of the tremendous future toward which we are driving at such headlong speed. Col. Forsyth says: “If Stanton could bar out of the War De partment an appointee, ad interim, of his law ful chief, it would seem that the President could hold the White House against a Sergeaut-at- Arms or a Federal marshal, who should be sent to execute the judgment of the Senate. The next step would be force, and the lover of peace, to the ‘last extremity,’ will object that this is the beginning of revolution. No: the revolution is already inaugurated, and is in rapid progress. What it does is only to make two parties to the revolution, and not leave it as heretofore, to be tun exclusively by and in Radical interest. If a party can afford to push the nation to the verge of civil war to main tain its ill-gotten power, the people can cer tainly afford to risk it for (lie purpose of de fending their cherished institutions of govern ment and preserving their liberties. These thoughts are busy iu men’s minds—far more so than five weeks ago when I first cane here. If you add to these elements of comliet be tween governmental forces, the iutense bitter ness of personal feeling between the parties, you will find as pretty an assortment of com bustible materials out of which to kindle a civil war as you might desire. “At a public dinner table a few days ago, where I was almost a total stranger, when the President’s trial was mentioned, a man (I can not call him a gentleman) broke out in profane and furious dcnuueiatiou of Mr. Johnson, and swore if he had his way he would not only de pose, but hang him. I learned afterwards that this just person was very close to a Radical Senator, and thought this a good sign for A. J.’s acquittal. Forney has been giving out some similar signs in his papers lately, very desperate and very mad. Take another in stance of party hate : “ A few days ago the carriage of General C. (who commanded a division in Hancock’6 corps) was standing at a private door. An array officer in uniform came along, and asked the driver whose carriage it was. ''Driver— Gen.’C.’s, and he is in tbehouse with Gen. Hancock. "Officer —Aud do you drive Gen. Hancock about ? "Driver —Yes, sir. “ Officer —Well, instead of doing that, you ought to take the lirst opportunity to make your horses run away, upset the carriage, aud break bis d—d copperhead neck. “ Driver—l am hired to drive safely, and not to break people’s necks. Gen. C. will be down presently, and may be you had better wait and tell him this. “The officer passed on. This is an actual oc currence. Grant has become very bitter him_ sell, and, as he is tho fountain of military favor, the army officers on his side are catching the fever, and tho timid and time-serving are afraid to go about Gen. Ilaneock’s headquarters. The latter general has no personal relations with Grant—disdaining all intercourse with him, on the declared ground that General Grant had grossly insulted him in those New Orleans or ders upon which he asked to be relieved of bis command. If old Ben Wade gets into the White House, I fancy the first order will be to send Hancock and the plucky and fiery offi cers who surround him far away front Wash ington. “To illustrate how every element of calcula tion is drawn in to forecast the result of tlie impeachment, I may state tbut the latest dis covery here is that there are sixteen Masons iu the Senate, of whom lourlecn are Republicans. It is argued that, under the sacred obligations of a Mason to do justice to a brother-and stand by him In his rights, it is quite impossible for these Senators to vote guilty, where the evi dence has swept away all suspicion of guilt.— While f do not pin iny faith much to the theory, I may state that I adhere to my first judgment, and that is, that the President will not be de posed. “In uttering tbe results ot my own labor, l am able to speak cheering words to our people of the future. I have not a doubt of the verity of a deep and widespread popular reaction against Radicalism, and, if nothing untoward happens to cheek its progress, I am prepared to witness a revolution of the masses next November, the like ol which lias not been kuown in the annals of American politics. The white stomach is sick unto nausea of the party deification of the negro. It revolts at sharing the powers of government with him. In Michigan, I learn from a Federal Gcueral distinguished in the late war, there is a perfect and compact organization of 54,000 ex-sol<]iers» who will vote in loliclo against even Grant him self, if he is weighted with the abhorrent dog ma of negro suffrage. Michigan, remember, is tbe Massachusetts of the West, aud you may infer the reality ot what I am told from the vote she cast last month—changing from a Radical majority of 20,000 to 35,000 against a State constitution, because it had the Radical black idol lu it. The Radicals here feel the shadow of defeat which is thickening upon them, and, worse than all, they are losing faith in the prestige of Gen. Grant. With him as their trusted and fated best bower, they find their bark dragging its anchor and drifting rapidly to leeward. Instead of Grant’s popu larity carrying them, they are beginning to find him a weight to be carried. Tbe feeling broke out in tbe late speech of so uncompromising a Radical as Donnelly, of Minnesota, who the other day distinguished himself by the fiercest and coarsest piece of invective uttered in the House for many a day. After representing Grant as the hand-organ of Washburne, and the whole Washburne family mounted on its top, holding out their bats for pennies, lie but thinly concealed his satire under the after eulo gium which he felt called ou to pronounce on the great Ulysses. The grand collapse is com ing, and, when Radicalism ‘ goes up,’ General Grant will go down to occupy a very humble niche in the Pantheon of greatness. “ The lesson from all this to our people is, to summon up anew stock of patience and forbearance, atiJ although I know how hard it is, when 1 read of our fellow-citizens filling Southern prisons by military order, with de nial of bail and civil trial, aud feel from my own heart bow the blood must swell and boil in their veins under provocations aud wrongs so great, yet I draw the arguiucut of forbear ance from the very enormity of the provoca tion. We cannot afford, in an outburst of un restrained indignation, to throw chances of a full atonement in the near future. There are wrongs that can wait. Let it always be borne in mind that these indignities may be put upon our people for tho express purpose of forcing them to outbreaks of 1 law and or der, ’ (so-called) in order to justify the contin uance of the Radical war upon them. So far, our compatriots have behaved admirably, and, as I have taken frequent occasion to remark here, they have shown more heroism in the fortitude of endurance than they even exhibit ed in the front of battle, when they carried their cause on the points of their swords and bayonets. Let me implore them to endure yet a little longer. The hours fly fast, and events arc sweeping us ‘swift to our revenge’ through theßadical-damniug votes of the Amer ican people—and not ouly our revenge, but the revenge of that great popular tribunal which Mr. Evarts told the Senate was sitting on its trial, and which did not mean to sur render its constitution to any living power. God speed the hour when Americans can again breathe the air of liberty 1 J. F.” [From the Southern Recorder. Th) Constitutional Amendment. The following is the constitutional amendment,or 14th article that the Southern States are asked to pass ; which if done, declares ourselves and those we have hon ored in days past traitors and rebels. VVe, as a people, through our legislators, must brand ourselves as guilty of rebellion. Will the legislators of Georgia elect do such a damning act. We would suffer our right arm cut off before we would touch it. As Gov. Jenkins has a bill before the Su preme Court, let us rather await its deci sion, than with hot haste condemn our selves. This whole reconstruction business’ will yet be brought to a judicial test, if the Supreme Court is not utterly corrupt: Resolved by the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United Slates of America in Congress assembled, (two-thirds of both Houses concurring ,) That the following articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which, when ratified by three-fourths of said Legislatures, shall be valid as a part of the Constitution, namely : Article —. Sec. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and sub ject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any laws which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any State de prive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Sec. 2. Representatives shall be appor tioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, ex cluding Indians not taxed. But whenever the right to vote at any election for electors of President and Vice-President, or for United States Representatives in Congress, executive or judicial officers of a State, or members of the Legislature thereof, is de nied to any of the male inhabitants of such States, being twenty-one years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebel lion or other crime, the basis of representa tion therein shall be reduced in the propor tion which tlie number of such male citi zens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. See. 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President or Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having pre viously taken an oath as a member of Con gress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of tiny State Lcgislatu re.or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof ; but Con gress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. Sec. 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, in cluding debt incurred for the payment of pensions and bounties for services in surf 1 pressing insurrection or rebellion shall not be questioned; but neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any delft or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligation au«l claims shall be held illegal and void. See. 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation the pro visions of this article. Passed June 13, 18G6. We believe that the adoption of this amendment by live of the States now un dergoing " reconstruction ” is needed to make it a part of the Constitution. Ckf.te. —Mr. Plowc has found the people of Boston very tender-hearted towards the Cretans, and what is more to tiie purpose, very liberal. The Cretans have been fight ing for their independence, but the Turks have been too many for them. The conse quence is, that many Cretan families are in a destitute condition, and an appeal is made to philanthropists the wide world over to help them. Os course, Boston being emi nently philanthropic, and loving the Cre tans dearly for their vigorous, though futile assertion of independence, was prompt to respond in such a cause. It is doubtless very delightful to do good ostentatiously ami parade it; but would it not be quite as well, just for a change, to look a little nearer home occasionally, and ascertain if there are not ten Cretes a few days’ .jour ney to the Southward, where the people are suffering even now from worse than Turk ish oppression ? They do not ask to be pitied; they would scorn pity. They ap peal, with such strength as remains to them, for justice. But then it is so sweet to punish a people who are powerless to resist, aud if one plays the tyrant at home it is at least a consolation to know that one can also play, at the same time, the philan thropist abroad. Whilst we are ruthlessly crushing the life out of the Southerners, it is charming to be able to reflect that we are tenderly administering to the necessi ties of the Cretans. —Baltimore Gazette. The Income Tax and its Illegality.— The New York Sun (Rad.) says that “every man who pays the income tax pays an un constitutional tax, levied contrary to law, and which could not be legally collected of him.” If that is true—and who can doubt either loyal wisdom, loyal morality, or loyal knowledge of constitutional or statute law? —then is the United States Government robbing its citizens yearly to the extent of the income tax they pay. It is no Copper head that declares the income tax a rob bery, but one of the loyal. The question will undoubtedly come up hereafter in Con gress about refunding to the parties from whom this unconstitutional and illegal tax has been collected, according to the Sun. the amount they have thus illegally paid.— If five-twenties are to be paid in gold, when the law does not require it, can it be claim ed that those who have paid their income tax-Mllegally assessed—should not be re funded the several amounts they have paid ? Is everything to be on the side of the bond holders, and nothing on the side of the tax payers ? Let the people answer. [ Cincinnati Knquircr. ¥ The Radical Slate.— We understand that the Radical slate is being made up. Governor Brown is lo be Chiei Justice; Parrott and Blodgett United States Senators, and Col. Halbert,, Superintendent of the State Road, with Mr. Levi Pond for Alas ter of Transporta tion. We will nnnouncc tbe other positions as fast a Madam Rumor lets us hear them. f Atlanta Opinion. An apothecary asserted in a large com pany “that all bitter things were hot.” “No,” replied a physician, “a bitter cold day is an exception.” Our New York Correspondence. New York, May 9. The city is tilled with rumors of the prob able acquittal of President Johnson, but after the most searching inquiry I can make nothing of them but an effort on the part of Mr. Seward and his friends to force a recognition from Mr. Wade. I therefore turn to other themes. A PHASE OF OUR SOCIAL LIFE. Throughout the length and breadth of New York city there%oes on a warfare which is never ceasing, yet ever changing interchange of hostilities. In this combat no summer campaign is known, nor do the frosts and sleets and snows of a Northern winter bring an intermission thereto. In this contest of which I speak are ranged on one side the keepers of boarding houses, and those who board upon the other. The few who keep house “ rari nautes in gurgite vasto,” carry on small battles and unim portant and occasional skirmishes with cooks, chambermaids and waitresses of the Irish persuasion ; but in these cases some days or even weeks of tranquility intervene. The method of warfare pursued by the keep ers of boarding houses is, firstly, that of entrapping, which is done by courteous smiles, great apparent affability, etc. Once fairly caught,the newcomer, to his dismay, generally finds himself surrounded by a crew of grumblers and breathing an atmos phere of discontent. One says the steak is tough, another that the tea is weak, etc.; and in addition, probably, the servants are dirty, and, worse than all, the landlady gos sipping. The natural course would be to leave, but that, in nine cases out of ten, would l>e only to rush from evils which are known to those which are unknown, and so the household stay on, their only conso lation being to hold daily and secret indig nation meetings, in which everything is confidential and half whispered between the ladies who collect together with their sew ing. Perhaps if one finds a place where things are comfortable, where the coffee is coffee, not chicory, where the meats are good, the vegetables fresh, the batter pala table ; where cleanliness prevails, and where the parlor is pretty, then, probably, Mr. So and-so is on terms of too great sociability with the landlady, who is a widow, and propriety and self-respect demand a depart ure. That is, one goes—i: lie has not been very long in New York—but gradually one’s ideas become metropolitanized ; he docs not look very closely into matters, and says that at any rate ’tis none of his business. Nevertheless, there is an incessant and constant changing and fluctuating. I think it is Alison who calls the Americans a " nomad agricultural people.” I should call the New Yorkers “ a nomad boarding people and the only classes beuefitted by this going from house to house, that I can think of, are the cartmen and the Express companies, who greatly enjoy and reap a profit from the moving of the baggage. To the dismal picture 1 have drawn, how ever, there are some honorable exceptions, and exceptions they most truly are—where the landlady deals fairly, and where her inmates are considerate and contented, and are entitled to an exordium of praise which I heard delivered upon one of these estab lishments. It was to this effect—that “ the boarders staid there till they died.” But even in the case of these fortunate abodes, there sometimes comes a first of May, and with some first of May, some direful change. And even if that fated day goes by, and all remains tranquil and stationary, yet fashion, with relentless stride, sooner or later over takes them all, both landlady and boarders, and Sends them all up town. Here is Bond street, for instance, from which I write, tilled with relics of the olden time—the street where years ago the wealth and beauty of the city most did congregate. Now milliners, dentists, and quack doctors tread the spacious halls, and even they, ere many years are flown, consider Bond street as too far down town. CAIiRTAOKS IN CENTRAL, TAKK. Central Park, a wilderness when Bond st reet was the fashion, is now the fashion able part of New York city; and Just at t his season it is very fashionable indeed. For the fashionables have not as yet taken their departure, which in a month later they will have done (or pretending to have done so, hide themselves away in the dark back rooms), and the park is crowded witii their equipages. Springing from its cold bondage of months gone by, the park looks fresh and cheerful, enlivened as it is by a concourse of gayety and beauty. For a drive over its attractive roads, the fashion able dress carriage is the Landau; but the most popular is the Clarence. Goatskins, in brown shades, and silk perry or reps, in blue and brown, are the favorite linings for Landaus. Brown, blue aud red are favor ite colors for painting these carriages, though green is coming into use. Clarences are painted in ttie same colors, but the lin ings are frequently in satins; reps are also much used. The Coupe is gradually attain ing the popularity it has so long held in London and Paris—the small ones, for one horse, are extensively used by bachelors— goat skin being the favorite lining. The Cabriolet, or Victoria, is emphatically the ladies’ carriage for the park, with the beau tify pony phmtons for ladies who drive themselves. Many of these arc made with “rumble” seats behind for the footman. The “drag” is the “ four-in-hand” vehicle; some of them arc made to carry a dozen persons. The newest thing in the way of a tandem rig is the “ White Chapel cart,” in troduced by a Fifth Avenue manufacturer, from drawings received from London, where t hese carts are very much used. For young men who desire an elegant vehicle for one horse, the .“ tea cart,” a sort of phaeton on four wheels, is decidedly the handsomest vehicle of this kind yet introduced. This is another importation from London, and it has already achieved popularity among the leading young men ot the town —at least one-half being ordered by prominent members of the Jockey Club. Among other vehicles are, dog carts, phaetons, ba rouches, etc. SOU TERESA. llistori has returned among us, and Gran, astute and watchful of his own in terests, brings as a novelty anew tragedy— Sor Teresa—which, as we all know, caused a disturbance in Havana, by attracting popular attention. The story of the drama is this: During the Spanish campaign a French officer marries a Spanish lady. Af terwards, supposing his wife to be dead, he marries.again. Having a daughter by his first wife, aud another by his second, he places the elder in a convent, while the younger lie makes his heiress. By a con venient coincidence, the elder daughter en ters a convent of which her mother, sup posed to be dead, is the Abbess—her con ventual name being Sor Teresa. The hus band visits his daughter at the convent, and is thus recognized by his first wife.— She also discovers that her daughter is at tached to the same person to whom her halfjgister was betrothed against her will, aud she resolves to visit her husband in or der to secure the happiness of the two girls. Her absence from the convent is discover ed ; the ecclesiastical authorities remove her from her position, and she dies in the agony of parting from her daughter. In this play, Ristorl, by the force of her genius, concentrates upon herself the entire interest of a play which is somewhat tedious, and commands the attention of her audience as fully as in any other of her tragedies. She is unsupported by other in teresting characters, with, perhaps, a sin gle exception. During the ceremony of taking the veil, which, by the way, forms a line tableau upon the stage, the countenance of the great tmgediennefexhibits, to a de gree which is startling, the agony which a mother feels upon witnessing a daughter’s sacrifice. The contrast, also, between the toilet of the Marchioness and that of the Afibess is striking, and in the last and final death scene, her acting is invented with a character of fearful reality. BUSINESS MATTERS. Cotton continues to droop under a series of adverse influence, the mest conspicuous of which are increased shipments from Bom bay to Liverpool afid a slow trade jn cotton goods. We have (t great week iu bread stuffs. The receipts of wheat alone have been the enormous aggregate of 980,000 bqphels, and this large quantity has been quickly cleared of the market, mainly for export, at nearly full prices; and such is the deficiency iu the supply at the close that prices are again tending upward. The sup ply oreoru lrom tliemest is likely to be de ficient. Her crop w*s of superior quality, but deficient iu quantity, owing to the pro longed drouth. Pork and other hog pro ducts are dull, with a decline probable.- Groceries are quiet; except sugars, which have advanced to 11%@13 cents for grocery grades. Tobacco has also taken an upward turn, with some speculation. Money has become easier, but there is no life to the stock speculation. Gold is supported in view of possible contingencies attending the impeachment proceedings. Willoughby. Books. —It is chiefly through books that we enjoy entercourse with superior minds, and these invaluable means of communica tion arc in the reach of all. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us the most precious thonghts, and pour their souls into ours. God be thanked for books. They are the voices of the distant anil the dead, and make us the heirs of the spiritual life of past ages. Books are the true leve lers. They give all, who will faithfully use them, the society, the spiritual presence of the best and greatest of our race. No matter how poor I am. No matter, though the prosperous of my own time will not en ter my obscure dwelling. If the sacred writers will enter and take up their abode under my roof—if Milton will cross my threshold to sing tome of Paradise, and Shakespeare to open to me the worlds of imagination and the workings of the human heart, and Franklin to enrich me with his practical wisdom—l shall not pine for in tellectual companionship; and I may be come a cultivated man, though excluded from what is called the best society where I live.

A Fallacy. Some people think that Chronic Dynpepsia may be cured by exercise and diet alone. This is n mistake. The stomach must be stimulated and reg ulated, and the liver and the discharging organs put in good working order before a cure can be effected. Such is the operation of HOSTETTER’S BITTERS. “ They tone the stomach, set the liver right. And put the stomach in such healthful plight, That good digestion waits on appetite.” persons fancy that Fever and Ague can be avoid ed by adopting unusual precautions against damp and cold. Never was there a greater fallacy. There is no absolute Kufeifuard against malarious ms ladies, except HOSTETTER’S BITTERS. “To brace the frame and make it ague-proof, To keep the causes of disease aloof.” There is nothing: like this genial vegetable invigorant. So, too, incases where there is a predisposition to bil liousness ; the constitutional tendency is combatted and held in check by the alterative action of the BITTERS. Diet and regimen are powerful allies of judicious medi cal treatment, when the preservation of health in insa lubrious localities is the object in view. But they will not answer the desired end alone. Use them as aids to the BITTERS, but do not rely upon the efficacy of any formula that does not include this admirable tonic. The BITTERS consists of an unadulterated vegetable essence (unrivaled among stimulants), medicated soioly with herbs and roots of acknowledged virtre as tonics. It is agreeable to the taste and perfectly harmless. Even to children of delicate constitutions it may be given with porfact impunity. In with these, as with those of older growth, its wonder ful recuperant properties are at once apparent. myls-eod&Aitjii 1 United States Internal Revenue,) Collector’s Ofeice, 2d District Georgia, > Augusta, May 12,1868. ) NOTICE is hereby given that the Annual List of 18S8, embracing tax on Incomes to 31st December, 18G7, and special tax on Business Occupations, Gold Watches, Silver Plate and Carriages, for the year ending May 1, 1809, is now due and payable at this offico on or before tho Ist of June, 1808.
