Newspaper Page Text. ru iioisALlbT. AUGUSTA. GhA. ; SUHDAYMOBNING. MAY 22, _lß7o MODEL GOVERNOR.^ Atlanta Constitution publishes three columns of charges and specifications against Governor Bullock, from Treasurer Angier. A considerate portion of this indictment has already been made public. We give the concluding passages as a specimen: u While the Governor neither gives in nor pays any State, county, city or revenue (Income) tax there was collected through one house in the city in the space of a few weeks, nearly $15,000 on the Governor s drafts or “ checks" drawn while he was in Washington in favor of parties there, on the bank here, where the State Railroad deposits are kept under circumstances that indicated to those who presented the drafts, or “ checks,” that the Governor’s personal account was exhausted or greatly over drawn, or that the State Railroad funds were suffering. On# thing is certain, if he has thesetens of thousands to his personal credit, he is defrauding not only the Gen eral and State Governments, but county and city. , , „ “This is them ortification the great Em pire State of the South ’ is reduced to, of having a Governor who prates loudly of elective franchise, while he has failed to place himself in a condition to be entitled to the common privilege of the ballot by reason of not having paid even a poll tax, except one of two dollars last year, under city execution for double poll, for fai.ling to give in. Where do his tens of thousands spent in Washington come from? The tax-payers would like for the committee to investigate this point.” The N ew York Election.— The Democ racy of New York, though having every thing their own way, made it possible for minority representation by allowing two "Radical Judges to be elected. Many negroes voted the Democratic ticket. Some voted too often and were locked up. Tiie Herald says . “ Among the very funny incidents which occurred in connection with the unhappy locked-up voters was the appearance of the wife of one of them, who presented her marriage certificate, duly authenticated in “ old Virginia,” as a bail bond, upon which she demanded the release of her liege lord ; but, to her bitter disappointment, she found that it had no legal effect, and probably thereupon did not realize the value of the Fifteenth Amendment.” Unexpected Perfidy.— A select com mittee MnaJFushington has smelt out im mense fraud* in smuggling on the Mexican Border. JKMKk „ is at the head of the organizati JOP.'n'd was its chief support during the “ Rebellion.” It appears that Juarez, with the full knowledge of the Confederate authorities, supplied the South with arms and munition of war in return for cotton, which he smuggled into Mexico. This was done at a time when he professed great friendship for the United States, and while the Yankees were extending to him much aid to regain Mexico from the control of Maximilian. That’s retribution. Now let Butler embrace Wm. H. Seward who has so re cently embraced Juarez. Tarts and Cheese Cake —The Wash ington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette thus writes of Radical divisions and personalities: “ We are upon the eve of stirring events in the way of ‘ lovers’ quarrels.’ I firmly believe that these people cannot liold to gether much longer. There is so much to tell—and men are getting afraid of being superseded. When all is told, how the people will stand aghast!” Well, we have been looking for that “ fretful porcupine,” the people, to stand aghast, during three years. Let the mon ster leave off his damnable farces and be gin. Punched. —Is it not funny to read this paragraph from the New York IVibune's report of the late election: “ One or two colored politicians, suspect ed of aiding the Democrats, were watched with lynx-eyed sharpness, and one unlucky fellow who allowed himself to be humbug ged into depositing a Democratic ballot, was punched in the head for his stupidity.” What a comment upon “ the inestimable privilege of free election !” The domestic slave of 1860 was wept over because he oc casionally got a lashing. The political slave of 1870 is punchel by the mourners. Rampant hot Honest. —Col. Don Piatt says : r “The Southern, rulers were beastly aristocrats, and pipped no end of profit from the backs of their slaves. But they would, not steal. ' And what a blessed dis pensation that appears to us now.” Yes, there is a good deal of truth in that; but more remains behind. If the Southern rulers “ whipped no end of profit from the backs of the slaves,” the Yankees stole more than half the profit before the war, and, since the war, are ashamed to let these honest men confront them In the Benate and the House. Hence Reconstruc tion means the Rogue’s Paradise. A Few More Left. —One of the uegro voters in New York is named W«. Reese, a youngster of 108 years. This interesting child declares that he waited on General Washington when he was in Baltimore on his way to be inaugurated in Washing ton. As Washington was first inau gurated in New York and the second time in Philadelphia, of course William knows all about him. It is a well known fact that all negroes over one hundred years of age once waited upon Washington. Since the passage of the XVth Amendment, does Washington in the other world wait upon them ? Two Great Questions.— -Finance and Taxation will pretty soon be the absorbing questions of the day. The East puts the screws to the West and the West howls ac cordingly. Now let the South buy more sparingly of the West and the howl will increase in volume until it practically amounts to revolution. If the South would feed herself for one year, Reconstruction and Its attendant villanies would be as dead as Hector and as damned as Judas. Indiana Moving.— All the Democratic papers in Indiana are full of uames of Re publicans who come out against their party on account of their adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment. Some of them are prominent and influential men; and the number of hitherto Republicans who opeDly declare their purpose to vote against the Republi can party seems to be upward of 3,000. Name Him. —ln his testimony, recently, before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Governor Bullock made certain statements in regard to Senator Pomeroy, in which he stated that Pomeroy, according to the word of a gentleman who had given him the information, would have been willing to go either one way or the other on the Georgia bill, as it might affect a railroad ring in which he was interested.— Special to the Richmond Dispatch. Give the name of the chap, man 1 D. Wyatt Aiken.— Thisgentlemau, hav ing protested against the policy of receiv ing immigrants as social equals, started a wasp’s nest in Charleston among the foreign-born residents. He explains that the impropriety of the wUpbs matter Should rest upon the individual who started the Idea. And it should. An immigration convention has no business to dictate so cial laws. But Col. Aiken seems to be in a bad streak of luck ever since he unjustly lampooned Booth western’ Georgia. * Sorosis. —Some of the husbands of the Sorosis women at New York.are mildly re ferred to the following extract from Pefyb’ diary: “ Somewhat out of humor all day reflect “ ing on my wife’s neglect of things, and “ impertinent humor got by this liberty of “ being from me, which is never to be trust “ed with; for she is a fool.” An Eve-opener. —The Northern people are astounded at the report of the Charles ton Agricultural and Immigration Conven tion concerning cotton manufacture. There is a tremendous effort made by the New England party in power to prevent capital and skilled labor from entering the South. But we shall have both, sooner or later, and then let the Puritans look out for retribution. Fast and Loose. —The Washington Chronicle was paid $4,000 by Bullock. The Globe received SSOO, and yet did more work than the Chronicle. Balance in favor of honest Forney, $3,500. So Forney has to give thirty-five hundred reasons for being what he is. SCHWATZENHEIMERSTEINER. C OUnl Louis von Schwatzenheimersteiner was be fore a Chicago court the other day, charged with vagrancy.— Exchange. When a fellow’s name wanders off in that vagrant style it probably carries the owner with it. When found he ought not to be fined. War Democrats. —The Cleveland, Ohio, Plaindealer says a majority of the men who left the Democratic party in 1861, to joia the “ Union ” faction, are anxious to get back to the old fold. It is thought that a reconciliation will be effected. (Special Correspondence of tlie Constitutionalist. From Washington. THE AUGUSTA POST OFFICE—PRINCE AIMS HIGHER—THE GEORGIA QUESTION—HON. NELSON TIFT BEFORE THE RECONSTRUC TION COMMITTEE—AARON ALPEORIA PUB LISHES A PAMPHLET AGAINST BULLOCK. Washington, May 18, 1870. a certain amount of interest pertains to the movements of the carpet baggers who misrepresent Georgia in Washington. Prince, the ostensible Post master of your city, still lingers here. He has been confirmed ; why does he not leave for Augusta, and perform the duties of the office to which he was appointed. Per haps I can give a solution of the problem. The postmastership is a sure thing; and while the post office is run by his friend Bryant, Prince is look ing for a bigger thing here, ne still has visions of back pay and mileage as a mem ber of Congress, and though only elected to the Fortieth Congress, he and his col leagues are striving for admission into the Forty-first Congress. This would seem to most persons a hopeless struggle, especially as the House early in the present session adopted a resolution declaring that these men could not be admitted. Still they are not without hope, and haunt the Cap itol daily, urging their absurd claims with a persistence worthy of a better cause. If, in their efforts to secure back pay and mileage for positions to which they were uot elected, they did not in some measure conplicate the Georgia question, and more or less directly play into the hands of Bul lock, one might regard their movements with the utmost concern. But when their claims conflict with the interests of Geor gia, retard her admission, and lend assist ance to her enemies, it becomes necessary to take notice of them. Prince, it is under stood, professes to conservatism sub rosa, and wishes it to lie understood that al though he is outwardly on good terms with Bullock, he is really opposed to his bovine highness, and does not approve of the Bul lock-Blodgett plots against Georgia. This conservatism is merely assumed, however, that he may mingle with and gain the con fidence of Conservatives, the better to serve Bullock. If Bullock succeeds in his schemes, Prince & Cos. may get that back pay and mileage. If Bullock does not succeed, it is impossible that they can succeed. Hence all are embarked in the same boat, and must sink or swim together. A movement is on foot for reorganizing the National Republican Executive Com mittee and the Congressional Campaign Committee, for the Fall elections and the Presidential campaign of J 872. There is likely to be serious contention between the friends of the present Administration and others of the Republican party. Many strong Republicans denounce Grant’s Ad ministration as a failure, and declare that with the exception of Boutwell, there is no member of the Cabinet who represents any thing. They want aMiew deal all round. Grant’s friends claim that he is the only candidate -available. Boutwell meanwhile is laying his wires with a view to flanking Grant, while the friends of Chase are urging his claims and thus still further complicat ing the matter. Gen. Sherman has not a ghost of a chance. If it had been decided to select a military candidate, Gen. Thomas, had he lived, would have been the man. It need hardly be added that Grant expects a reuomination. Indeed, he thinks, aud has so expressed himself, that the Republican party cannot get along without him and his Cabinet. The House Reconstruction Committee decided yesterday upon just such a bill as I indicated in my telegram of the 14th inst., It reopens the Georgia question at the. very initial point from whence it started at the beginning of the session, and leaves the whole battle to be fought over again. If this bill is adopted the present Legislature of Georgia will be perpetuated, Butler having every thing cut aud dried to carry out his schemes. The Senate has been engaged since Mon day last in discussing Stewart’s bill to en force the provisions of the Fifteenth Amend ment. It has met with the oppositiou of Republicans as well as Democrats, but will probably pass. Very conservative speeches have been made by Senators Ferry, Sawyer and Warner. Messrs. Davis, Stewart and Morton have, as usual, done the Ku Klux, raw head aud bloody bones part of the business. Forney’s Chronicle this morning formally reads Mr. Ferry out of the Repub lican party for his speech yesterday; but I am of the opinion that the Republican party is the greatest loser by this opera tion. Hon. J. Nelson Tift was before the House Reconstruction Committee yesterday and allowed ten minutes in which to explain the condition of affairs in Georgia. But ler’s bill was agreed upon by a majority of one only. At a special meeting of the committee held to-day it was decided that the bill should be put through without amendment, under the previous question. The intention is to make short work of Georgia, if possible. Your distinguished fellow-citizen, A. A. Bradley, has in press a pamphlet attacking Governor Bullock. It will be Issued to morrow. Ami. A Sad put Important Fact.— We no ticed last year in these columns that there was a continuous line of good bearing peach trees around this vicinity and exj tending to Richmond. These trees grew on the breastworks thrown up by the Confede rate army, where peaches had been eaten and the atones thrown aside. It is a sad commentary o” years just elapsed, that we can hara’7 . ai jy other good fruit the war has left this Vicinity, and that we can see its bad fruit every day. [Peterson? Index. A single tree in Kentucky has been the gallows of four victims of lynch law during the last twelve months. [Washington Corresportence of the N. Y. Herald. Bitter Encounter Between Radical Lead ers—The Connecticut and Indiana Senators at Logerheads. ' a little skirmish between Senators Mor ton and Ferry, which began in the Semite yesterday afternoon, ended to-day in ***gu* ar set-to, whereitf the Combatants mauled'' each other for about an hour and a half to the amusement if not the*instrnction of the Senate. Both parties are in ill health and consequently a little excitable and easily irritated. The ostensible bone of conten tion was the bill to enforce the provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment, but, as usual, the subject immediately under discussion was entirely ignored, neither party paying it the cold respect of a passing glance. Georgia, the rebellion, reconstruction, the Republican party, the future of the coun try, everything came in for a share of the debate except the provisions of the bill be fore the Senate. Ferry, who is a fluent speaker and a good declaimer, opened upon Morton, evidently smarting under the speech of the latter delivered yesterday. He sneered at the speech of Morton pn the Georgia bill, and intimated that it was gotten up for effect as a political campaign document. For fear that he might be mis understood he announced in advance that he was as good a Republican as the Senator from Indiana. That Senator had made an assault upon him, and had accused him of aiding the rebels. He took strong ground in favor of universal amnesty and against the test act, or iron-clad oath, which he said ought to be repealed. Quoting from the speeches of Southern Senators and the platforms of Southern Republican Conven tions, he showed that the Republican lead ers of that section were largely in favor of removing the political disabilities of the late rebels He denounced the idea of en acting ex post facto laws for the punishment of the rebels. Test oaths and disability laws had been shown through all history of the past to be useless in making men loyal to governments. In proof of this he instanced the cases of the Hungarians with regard to Austria, and the Irish with re gard to England. The Senator closed with warning the Republican party to cease fol lowing the lead of men like Morton, and an appeal for general amnesty. Senator Morton, who delivered his speech sitting in his seat, commenced by express ing astonishment at the ground taken by Ferry. He denied having begun the fight, or having made any assault upon the Sen ator from Connecticut. That Senator would find, however, that there would be blows to take in this controversy as well as blows to give, and he shook his flst sig nificantly toward where Ferry sat. In a tone mingled with bitterness and sarcasm, Morton said: “ The Senator told us be was a Republican two or three times. It was well, sir, that he put that in, or a stranger listening to him might have thought it was a Democrat making the speech, and a very bitter one, too. It would please the rebels of the South and it would suit the Democ racy of the North well.” The Senator from Indiana then read the Senator from Connecticut out of the Republican party, without mercy or benefit of clergy. He advised him tq take his seat on the Dem ocratic side of the Senate, or, better still, to link his fortunes with the disfranchised rebels. The Senator from Connecticut had gone farther than-the moderate Democrats and justified the rebellion. It was no crime, in his eyes, and if his doctrine was carried out lie (Morton) looked to see the Senator welcoming Jeff Davis back to the Senate and leading him by the hand to the Clferk’s desk to take the oath. This pro duced a decided sensation, to break the effect of which Warner, of Alabama, asked if the Senator from Indiana regarded the perpetual disfranchisement of Jeff Davis as essential to the success of the Republi can party in Mississippi. Turning upon Warner, Morton gave it as his opinion that if the policy advocated by Ferry was adopt ed, the ex-rebels, after getting iuto power, would pifch the present Senators from the South out of the windows of the Capitol and instal the former leaders of the rebel lion in their places. This was a settler for Warner, who, like the other carpet-bag Senators, stands no show of being re-elected, whether Davis is relieved or not. Wheeling around his chair in the direction of Garrett Davis’ seat, Morton said that much as the people of Kentucky loved and revered his venerable friend from that State (here Gar rett adjusted his spectacles, straightened himself up in his seat, and, with his hand up to his ear, listened eagerly to what was coming) they would gladly turn him out and put John C. Breckinridge in his seat if Ferry’s ideas prevailed. Garrett, it is said, felt uncomfortable over this prophecy for the remainder of the day. The debate on the bill now before the Senate is likely to be quite protracted and very bitter between the rival factions of the Republican party. W hile the debate was in progress Senator Revels wrote a note to Senator Morton en dorsing all that lie had said with regard to the dangerous policy of relieving the ex rebels of their political disabilities. Pro bably be was prompted to do this by the horrible picture which Morton drew of Jeff Davis returning to the Senate from Mis sissippi and marching arm in arm with Ferry to the Clerk’s desk to take the oatli and afterwards pushing Revels out of the window. Senator Sawyer, of South Carolina, who took part with Ferry in the fight and advocated general amnesty, ap pealed to Revels to sustain him. The sable Senator, having already committed himself to Morton, couldn’t see it in the light of the South Carolina Senator, and took the floor himself to back np his leader. Bill to Enforce the XVth Amendment. The following is the bill for the enforce ment of the Fifteenth Amendment, which passed the House or Representatives on Monday: Section 1.

Its function is twrfold. The fluid which it secretes tempers- tho blood and regu lates the bowels, and upon the quantity and quality of the secretion depends, in a great the adaot; ation of the blood to the requirements of the system and the due removal oi the refuse matter which re mains in the intestines after the work of digestion ha' been accomplished. One of the principal uses of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitt'-rs is t-o tone and control this somewhat unruly organ. The anti-bilious propertiesof the preparation are scarcely secondary to its virtues ass stomachic. Its operation upon the liver is no. violent like that of mercury, bqt. gradual and gentle. Instead of creating a sudden tumult in that sensitive gland, it regulates its action by degrees. Hence, it is a tafe remedy for bilious disorders, while mercury, being a tremendous excitant, is not. The more naturally and quietly a diseased organ can be restored to its normal condition the better, and it is the peculiar property of this harmless vegetable alterative to reinforce and regu late without exciting or convu sing. The success which h ut attended its use as a remedy for affecUons of the liver is proverbial. Persons of a bilious habit who take it habitually as a protaction against the attacks to which they are constitutionally liable, pronounce it the best liver tonic in existence. The symptoms of an approaching fit of biliousness can hardly be mistaken. A pain in the right side or under the shoulder blades, a saffYon tinge in the whites of the eyf s, sick headache, a feeling of drowsi ness, low spirits, loss of appetite, constipation and general debility -are among the usual indications of a morbid condition of the liver, and as soon as they ap pear the Bitters should be resorted to in order to ward off more serious consequences. mj 15-dactl SEWING MACHINES.-WHEELER & WILSON World Renowned Improved SEWING Machines for Sale, Rent and Lease.

Terms strictly cash, with low rates and entire freedom from all complications as to notes, interest, dividends and loans... Contracts clear and definite. No possible chance for misrepresentation by agents or misunderstanding by policy holders. * The National has paid up cash capital of one million dollars, secured by deposits in the United States Treasury, being the largest paid up capital of any Life Insurance Company on the Continent. Not assets, like most Mutual Companies, with liabilities piled along side of it, but its capital is something over an t above, independent of the reserve fund. Now, if the proper reserve from Premiums Paid has been made by any Company, its policy holders will be secure, otherwise not. Capital secures man agement, hence the larger the Capital put up on the contract, the greater the necessity to manage it. A purely Mutual Company lias no capital, and its surplus or excess of premium charged in the first instance, after a year or two is returned (without interest) to the policy holders, and called dividends. This so-called dividend, the National gives in advance by not charging it in the first instance.
