CONSTITUTIONALIST
AUQ-USTA. GhA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEO. 8,1809
THE GEORGIA IMBROGLIO.
Elsewhere wo publish a letter from
“ Gov.” Bullock to the New York Timet ,
which is characteristic of that Individual
as the pnppet of shrewder and sharper
men. He puts in a shy feeler when he in
timates that the question of Reconstruc
tion in Georgia has narrowed down to a
contest between him and his handful of
destining conspirators and the public sen
timent as enunciated by Hill, Toombs &
Cos. If anything in the world can make
Radicals sneeze with loyal fervor, it is the
mere mention of “ Bob ” Toombs’ name,
albeit the aforesaid Toombs is very quietly
pursuing the practice of law, and giving
himself no concern about the vermin*in
festlng portions of the State. Gen. Toombs
has an impetuous scorn of these mean
creatures, and may be, betimes, too frank
and stentorian to suit some people in his
denunciations of them, when provoked.
But the vast majority of white men in
Georgia share his detestation of these
base things, though they may not have
the quick bosom to feel as Intensely as
he does nor yet the imperial command
of language to fitly portray their con
tempt of the gang whose loyalty is
nothing but a love of notoriety, and whose
patriotism aspires only to regions where
stealing has become a fine art. We give
Bullock credit, then, for how to
apply snuff to Radical tie follows
a well-known instinct with mien of his class
who are never so happy as when some iu
scrutable accident permits them to have
their names associated, even in antagonism,
with those who are their heaven-born su
periors in every quality that constitutes the
nobler manhood. Bullock & Cos. are the
Tittlebat Titmouses of this era. They are
having a high old time of it, at present; but
let them beware of the future. One sharp
turn of the fickle wheel of fortune and off
they go like mud to mud.
Again, our Gubernatorial Tittlebat , with
some dexterity, Insinuates that the “Re
publican ” party in this State is as mild as
a sucking pig. Its wants are very few —the
chief trifle being a supreme control of the
Legislature and the ballot-box. In other
words, an insignificant knot of native and
imported adventurers, backed by a horde
of unreasoning negroes, desire to run the
machine for their own peculiar benefit, and,
beyond this, they care no more for the Gov
ernment of the United States than an old
rat does for the sack that holds the corn.
In petitioning for the small favor of ad
ministering the government of this noble
Commonwealth for the benefit of his cabal*
Bullock modestly intimates that he wants
nothing but a Legislature in harmony with
the Government and in harmony with his
crew. All this is to be done by Congress
ional interference in the shape of a purge.
He no doubt thinks that such a course
would give him unlimited opportunities to
rifle the Treasury of the State at pleasure,
so that, when his day of disgrace shall have
come, as come It will, and he knows it, he
can retire to the shades of Albion, in the
State of New York, and weigh his spoils
against those of Ben Butler, or any other
trooly loil patriot. A change of the Leg
islature means also that every Yankee
mouse-trap or railroad agency shall have tu
subsidy, at our expense, it asked for. ii
means, too, that the burdens of the tal
shall be as enormous as irresponsible nou4
tax-payers can make them. It means, too,
the depression of Industries that were just
beginning to stride forth gigantically. It
means, also, that Blodgett, perchance,
shall fulfill Butler’s prediction aa a Senator
of the United States. These aud many other
agjjfljafcitties Bullock unquestionably has in
couwmplatlou. lu some degree, he may be
successful; but ho shall not, even with the
backing of Congress, have everything
utterly his own way. Luckily, Providence
never permits a wrong-doer to be so fertile
in machinations that the people oppressed
and insulted by him are not equally stimu
lated in the creation of measures of redress
and compensation. And so, we shall have
hope even though Bullock should get from
Congress all he so humbly solicits. Weak
minded and impatient people may despair
and feel like abandoning the struggle ; but
there are thousands whose fortitude aud
determination will grow stronger with the
ordeal. We, iu company with these true
ineu, are contented to keep our souls and
raiuds independent, and, though the money
chauger and the soulless may bend their
knees in vulgar obeisance to iniquity tem
porarily triumphant, we shall, with faith
in the faith, erect and austere, wait for the
inevitable rebound which shall herald the
approach of Justice and retribution.
Pending this day of retribution, we coun
sel our people to avoid all deeds of violeuce
and rather seek to thwart their enemies by
acts of wisdom, manifestations of superior
management, and, above all, by a bond of
union among themselves which may, as the
emergency dictates, be as clastic or as firm
as highly tempered steel. Let them, by all
means, discouraging as the prospect may
appear, conliuuc to cultivate those habits
of iudustry which have made Georgia a
wonder to the world. We would insist,
likewise, that they be kind and forbearing
with the negro population. It is UP fault
of the black people that these troubles men
ace us, and, although they will be eagerly
sought for as tools and instruments to
work ont Bullock’s little game, they
are not at all disposed, in the main, to
give' him any encouragement, and, with
proper treatment on our part,they will,
on the contrary, help hammer him and
his scheme to pieces. It would be im
measurable folly to act otherwise, and we
feel assured that those disposed to rash
ness in this matter are but a corporal’s
guard of idlers or natural mischief-breed
ers. These, if indeed there are any such,
must be promptly taken in hand by the in
fluential men of every neighborhood, and
kept in a state of repression. Thank God!
we have our bright sky left and our incom
parable soil. Radicalism can not take
these away absolutely, although It may
make the one look dim, perchance, or cause
the other to curtail its product. But, after
all the vials of wrath shall have been
poured out, we will yet remain invincible,
and we may still grow ricb, powerful and
happy. And as to the possible Legislature
of Bullock and Congress—why, if we can
do nothing else, we can at least buy a ma
jority of its membership at a reasonable
rate.
Congress is very full of authority and
Bullock’s advisers are very plentiful of
wiles; but Radicalism will not be swallow
ed by Georgia, iu spite ol the. patency of
the one or the mauceuvering of the other.
It will not succeed here, because, in the first
place, we are determined it shall not; and
then, In the second place, it is too mon
strous a thing to last in leebler communi
ties, much less in Georgia. So far as it
concerns the uegro, our people are inclined
to reward his toil and help his ignorance;
but we arc equally determined that he shall
not govern us and, more especially, that he
shall not do so as the instrument and vic
tim of Imported or native scoundrels oflow
understanding, defective culture and cor
rupt hearts. We shall, therefore, oppose
Radicalism and finally we shall extirpate
it, because the war we wage is a just one
and seeks only the perpetuation of decency
in government, in morals and in religion.
We say,'then, to Congress and to the North,
in the words of Thomas Carlyle,
“ If yon will have your laws obeyed with
out mutiny sec well that they are pieces of
God’s Great Law, otherwise all the authori
ty in ttoe world will not keep down mutiny.”
The mutiny we shall use will be more
tremendous than weapons like swords or j
muskets—a relentless purpose of redress,
kept alive for centuries if need be and never
to perish sa long as Georgia can boast of
patriot mothers like those she glories in to
day.

Our New York Correspondence.
N ew York, December 4.
The daily papers will have served you
with such full particulars of the Richard
son-McFarlaud scandal, that I may well
forbear; and, were it not for a remarkable
phase of public sentiment, which has just
been developed, I should have hardly ftelt it
my duty to allude to the matter. For a
day or two succeeding the firing of the fa
tal shot in the Tribune office, public feeling
run strongly agaiDst McFarland. Rich
ardson’s journalistic friends were enabled
to present such statements of the case to
the public that his conduct towards Mc-
Farland’s wife was generally condoned,
and it came to be commonly remarked that
this practice of shooting men for their
equivocal relations with other men’s wives
should be stopped, and that McFarland
should be made an example of. This con
tinued so long as there was thought to be
a prospect of Richardson surviving, and
possibly might have been maintained,
but the marriage of Richardson on his
death-bed to Mrs. McFarland, by the Revs.
Beecher and Frothiugham, had the effect
to produce an almost instantaneous rever
sion of public opinion, and the fire of in
dignation that has been turned upon the
saint of Plymouth Church is hotter (be
cause springing from a finer sentiment)
thau that which assailed the feminine
Beecher when she published her libel upon
Lord Byron and his family.
Beecher has so long set himself up as a
sort of Mentor for the whole world; he has
denounced the press; he has defamed the
judiciary; he has anathematized the domes
tic institutions of a Christian people as the
abomination of desolation; he has made
himself a name and won stamps thereby.
But in his passion for notoriety, and find
ing no more moral worlds wjjich he con
sidered worthy of his prowess, lie attempt
ed the sanctification of Free Love prac
tices. He had brought his followers vo the
point of listening to the preaching of Free
Love sentiments ; but not quite up to the
practical part of the business; and no
sooner had Beecher committed the outrage
of attempting to marry a dying man to
another man’s wife, than the first to open
upou him was a sort of Plymouth Rock
orgaifr, the Evening Republic , and this was
followed in full cry by the more Influential
journals. The thing is worked up in true
sensation style. McFarland and Richard
son are half forgotten, except as incidents
iu the matter. Public opinion against
Beecher has become so aroused that he
already quails under it, aud it is not im
probable that before the whole matter is
through with, he will be compelled to
retire, for a while at least, from public
view.
The trial of McFarland will bring out
facts that will expose the whole Radical ■
Free Love “ Brotherhood ” and “ SistfjM
hrod" in their horrid nakedness, ajgH
would not be surprising if important®
leal results were to follow the
to be made. They will demonstr|J

great effect of this upon bust been ■
to restore confidence which
ly weakened; sp ipnch so that we were
rapidly drifting into a commercial panic.
Money has become easy. While gold has
thus far remained stationary, prices of
many staples have advanced. This will
check their export, aud lead, at no distant
day, to the export of gold and an advance
in the premium in the face of whatever
sales the Government may be able to tngjy^
There is a sharp struggle over

excess of over 2,900,000 bales,
seen figures put forth from Boston estimal
ing over 3,100,000 bales. Accepting the
lower figure as correct., with a probability
of gold returning to 180, it is not clear how
cotton is to be forced *Dy lower.
The handsomest bridal dresses of the ®
son are of white velvet, the richest and
admired being of royale velvet, though t*®
plain is much used, and >s quite as expq®
sive, or perhaps more so, thau the
as the plain is frequently shown at
yard, while a handsome quality of
with thick reps, can be procured for®
White satins are also much worn on
occasions, aud of this material a 14®
repped is sl3 per yard, aud
velours imperatrice. Another style, ..j®
d’ecosse, which is beautifully soft and ®
trous, Is $lO. A fine quality of satin, anon
one sufficiently good for almost any pur
pose, can be procured for $8 per yard,
while a very nice quality may be obtained
for $4 or $5. sixteeu yards being the usual
quantity sold for a dress pattern.
The style of makiug bridal dresses which
is most in vogue is a corsage half high,
round, heart shaped, or square, with sleeves
filled at the elbow aud a train of about
three yards iu length. The neck and
sleeves are ornameuted with a frill of tulle
and point lace, mingled with orange buds,
SUd a tunic of tulle, caught up with small
spray#; a wide pleated flounce of tulle
round the train, and a short sash, complete
the dress. The veil, which is of tnlle, is
four yards in length and three or four yards
in width, and is fastened bv a coronet of
orange flowers above the forehead. The
corners of the veil are rounded, and by
many are preferred in this way than
hemmed or trimmed with a ruche. Lons
kid gloves, fastened with six buttons, are
worn, and half high boots of the same ma
terial as the dress!
For bridesmaids, tarletan is a favorite
material, of which at a fashionable wed
ding, which took place lately, the brides
maids wore dresses of white over pink silk,
the bride’s dress being white satin and
point lace. Tarletan dresses are made
with trains and a tunic almost covered
with pleated flounces. Some new floral
sets are vines of rose buds or of scarlet
geraniums, forming bretelles on the cor
sage, and instead of a sash at the belt there
is a rose with buds and two long drooping
sprays.
For brides, the hair is dressed in stuffed
coiffures, high in front and low behind, a
low puff at the back, high French puffs in
front and at the sides, and bridesmaids
wear the chatelaine braids, with curls and
fringe. For brides who are no longer
young, pearl grey silk is preferred to white
for a weddiDg dress, and with this is worn
a tulle veil and orange flowers; and for the
mother of the bride, or the lady who ac
companies her to the altar, a mauve or
grey silk is also considered the most ap
propriate dress.
For the bridegroom,aud also the grooms
men, the English dress, a double-breasted
frock of black or dark blue cloth, a vest of
the same material, pearl grey pantaloons,
gloves and neck-tie, is .very fashionable,
though many prefer the dress suit of
black, so long in favor.
Avery beautiful receptiou dress fora
blonde just married is of Nile green silk,
trimmed with white lace and crimped
fringe; also, a del blue, with pleated
flounces of white gauze; and for a bru
nette, an elegant evening dress is of apri
cot silk, with satin trimmings, and a rose
pink, with a gauze tunic and flounces.
The only jewelry suitable for a bride ape
pearls or diamonds, and for these occasions
no jewelry at all is preferrablc to colored.
A full trousseau of lace comprises a
shawl, flounce, handkerchief, barbe, fpn
and parasol cover, and also a narrow lace
for garniture. The shawl is draped to
form a veil at the wedding, and the lace
flounce should not be placed at the edge
of the train, where it may be injured,
but above a narrow flounce of satin.—
A trousseau in fine point d’Alencon costs
from $2,500 to $5,000, and of point ap
plique, combined with round point, $1,500.
A bridal fan has pearl sticks beautifully
carted and mounted with point lace, the
monogram of the bride ip the centre of the
lace. Brides who can afford but ope silk
should choose a black silk, as it is suitable
to all occasiops. Willoughby.
The Georgia Imbroglio.
LETTER FROM GOVERNOR BULLOCK —RESO-
LUTIONS OF THE STATE CENTRAL COM
MITTEE. ? A...
To MAHnr of the New York Times l
Having read your admirable article in
the Times of the Ist inst., under the head
ing of “ The Georgia Imbroglio,” I feel con
strained to inflict Upon you this letter, for
the purpose of expressing, in my own be
half and that of the Republicans of our
State, thinks for the correct and forcible
presentation of onr case to the country.
The questions involved in the Georgia
matter are of vital interest to the country
at large, in connection with the stability of
the measures adopted by Congress for the
purpose of restoring the late rebel States
to loyal relations with the Union, and, as
you aptly say, “ the time has come when
Congress must go backward or forward.”
The Congress of the United States or the
rebels ot' Georgia, led on by Toombs, Hill,
&c., must triumph.
There is uo element in the Republican
party of our State of a proscriptive charac
ter, or of that class termed “ bitter-enders,”
none who desire harsh terms imposed upon
our opponents, nor do we desire military
government. Iu the constitution submit
ted to and adopted by a large majority of
the people, there are no proscriptive or dis
franchising clauses or test oath qualifica
tions whatever, aud our treatment of, and
propositions to, our political opponents
have been of the most liberal character.—
But by the mistaken lenity of the military
commander at the time the Legislature was
organized under the reconstruction acts,
opposition members—who were clearly
disqualified by the reconstruction laws and
by the bill providing for thejulmission of
the State, which enacted the disqualifying
clause of the fourteenth amendment —were
permitted to become active participants iu
the legislative organization, aud they thus
obtained the power by which they have
been able, practically, to nullify the whol#
reconstruction policy. All we ask or de
sire is that Congress shall provide for the
enforcement ol its laws heretofore enacted.
We desire no new legislation, no additional
terms, believing that the proper enforce
ment of the acts already adopted will en
able us to maintain ourselves before our
owu people. With any semblance of a
fair and free electioo, and an honest count
of the ballot , a majority of the voting pop
ulation of our State is Republican.
I inclose a copy of the preamble and reso
lutions adopted by the Executive Commit
tee of our party on the 24th ult., which set
forth very clearly our condition and our
desires.
Thanking you again for your article, 1
am, very respectfully,
Rufus B. Bullock.

Resolved, That we, as a committee, for
ourselves and for the loyal people whom we
represent, deeply deplore the present condi
tion of our State, outlying, as it were, from
the Union, and it is our earnest desire and
prayer that the Congress of the United
States will, without delay, take such action
as may be necessary to enforce the recon
struction acts, r and thereby restore Georgia
to her prouer place alongside of onr sister
States iu full fellowship with the Union
under a “ republican form of government,”
Resolved, That it is our opinion, and the
opinion of those whom we represent, that
the cause of the troubles, misfortune and
oppression under which we now suffer is
directly traceable to the fact that the legis
lative branch of the government attempted
to be established here has been usurped by
the representatives of the rebel element,
who were allowed to take seats in our
Legislature in direct violation of the laws
of the United States, which were intended
to exclude them.
Resolved, That with our Legislature law
fully organized, laws would be enacted and
provision made for their enforcement which
would secure, not only to the highest, but
to the humblest citizen of our Slate, free
education aud equal protection for person
and property, the freedom to vote for the
candidates of their choice, and safety iu
the expression of their political opinions,
unawed and undisturbed by the bullet, the
bowie knife or the lash in the hands of
masked enemies of the Union, and insure
the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States.
Resolved , That we reaffirm the preamble
and resolutions adopted by the Republican
Convention of this State, held at the Capi
tol on the sth day of March last, and re
spectfully recommend to the President and
to the Congress of the United States that
the members of the Legislature of this
State, elected uuder the reconstruction acts,
the term for which they were elected hav
ing not yet expired, shall be l’eassembled
under the authority of the United States,
and that they may then be legally organ
ized as a legislative body, by the exclusion
therefrom of persons disqualified by the
provisions of the fourteenth article of
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States, from holding office; and that
then and thereafter the State shall be ad
mitted to representation in Congress.
Resolved, That we have confidence in the
ability and patriotism of the President of
the United States and his Cabinet, and
that the National Administration has been
marked by devotion to the great republican
principles of our party, and has given as
surance to the country that the will of the
people shall at all times be recognized and
enforced.
Resolved, That the Forty-first Congress
of the United States, by Us wise legisla
tion, the acknowledged statesmanship of
its members, and its unyielding devotion to
the public good, merits our hearty com
mendation, and encourages the hope that
its future action will be such as to place
the late rebellious States in harmonious
and loyal relation to the Union of our
fathers.
Resolved, That the firm, wise and patriot
ic course pursued by General Alfred H. J
Terry has afforded to the loyal meJ[f
State all the protection and relief
under our present anomalous condt
Resolved , That the course of
Bullock, in adhering to the t
