AUGUSTA. GhA.
FEIDAY MORNING. JULY 29,1870
A MODEL JUDGE.
Chief Justice Pearson, of North Carolina,
was nee, We believe, -rated an-a man of
honor, learning and moral courage'. But,
having accepted the Radical situation early
in the day, and, being penetrated with a
lust of office, he has become that most
abominable of degenerate dignitaries, a
political jurist thoroughly subservient to
usurping power. His master and patron,
the infamous GoiL Holden, recently em
ployed a ruffian named Kirk to stir up an
Insurrection in North Carolina, so that the
Conservatives of the State should be Cheat
ed out of an election by the interposition
of the United States authorities, backed up
by a rowdy and mongrel militia. To effect
his purpose, Kirk has, in defiance of
law and order, without the shadow of
justification, arrested and maltreated a
large number of worthy persons in several
counties. Finally, after much contemptuous
treatment by Kirk, a hearing of their
cases was had before Chief Justice Pear
son. He has delivered an opinion which
is an opinion. This venal Justice pal
liates the conduct ol his brutal masters
and seeks to excuse his own baseness for
so doing. While deciding that Holden is
the sole judge of the insurrectionary con
dition of a county, Judge Pearson de
clares that he lias no power to suspend the
writ of habeas carpus. That’s a fair show
of Independence ; but see how subtly he
evades the direct issue of fining and impris
oning the malefactor, Kirk, who, at the di
rection of Holden, has trodden habeas
corpus Under foot. The Judge says Kirk
was obliged to obey the order of the Court,
and likewise bound to obey the order of the
Governor, Having chosen to obey the
Governor rather than the Court, ergo he is
not culpable f The Judge goes on to show
that he cannot order out the posse comita
tus to enforce his writ, because the posse
comitatus and the Governor’s militia are
one and the same thing, and would not re
spond to a judicial decree ! See how this
learned and upright Judge skulks behind
the shadow of a great name, in the follow
ing concluding sentences of his opinion :
“ The writ will be directed to the Mar
shal of the Supreme Court, with instruc
tions to exhibit it and a copy of this opin
ion to bis Excellency the Governor. If he
orders the petitioner to be delivered to the
marshal, well; if not, following the exam
ple of Chief Justice Taney, inMerryman’s
case (Annual Cyclopcedla for the year 1861,
page 555), I have discharged ray duty, the
power of the judiciary is exhausted, and
the responsibility must rest on the Execu
tive.”
Commenting upon this extraordinary
bit of moral cowardice and special plead
ing, the Richmond Dispatch intimates that
it has no equal in English literature, save
Dogberry’s instructions to the night
watch. We have heard Pearson. Hear
now Dogberry :
« Dogberry—You shall comprehend all
vagrom men. Yon are to bid any man
stand in the prince’s name.
“ Second Watch—How if he will not
stand ?
11 Dogberry—Why, then, take no note or
him, but let him go; and presently call the
rest of flle watch together, and thank God
you are rid of a knave.”
At the Press Convention in Savannah,
somebody toasted the Judiciary. Before
the toast could be responded to in regular
form, the great, wit and scholar, Dr.
Arnold, proposed that it should be il drunJc
Btavding and in silence /” If such a rasping
criticism could be passed upon the Judi
ciary of Georgia, what language of wither
ing scorn and scorching irony can be found
to fit the case of reconstructed North Caro
lina? Dr. Arnold himself must confess
lhat even his fertile ingenuity would be
inadequate to properly rebuke such a mon
strous perversion of the ends of justice.
Technical Devils.— lt is admitted that
Holden and Kirk are hastes kumani generis;
but not technically so. Hence they cannot
be lawfully got rid of. O, insensate spirit
of reconstruction and lollty that requires a
miracle for the suppression of mad dogs !
Still the people of North Carolina had
better patiently suffer two technical devils
for awhile than violently furnish the enemy
with the very pretext he wants for creating
legions of hell-hounds.

THE WAR IN EUROPE —THE NEGRO LOSING
GROUND—A NEW POLITICAL CRY WANTED
—LOOKING AFTER THE CATHOLICS—THE
RADICALS AND KNOW-NOTHINGS COALI
TION —THE SERMON OF DR. BOYNTON —
WHAT IT PORTENDS, &C.
Washington, July 25,1870.
The war in Europe is the only topic of
conversation among the officials who yet
linger at the seat of Government. Sambo’s
“nose is out of joint,” to use a nursery say
ing. He probably will not for a long time
receive marked attention on the north
side of the Potomac. Anew sensation is
about to engross the Radical mind. The
present straggle between France and
Prussia is to be made use of to revive the
old Know-Nothing party, but with the
difference that proscription and vengeance
is to be visited upon the heads only of
those citizens, either of foreign or American
birth, of a particular religious creed, who
are known to affiliate with the Democratic
party. This purpose is do longer concealed
or attempted to be kept secret.
Hitherto the Irish Catholics have alone
enjoyed the honor of special attack.—
Although many of them helped to “save
the life of the nation,” yet they committed
the “ unpardonable sin” of opposing the
Radicals at the ballot-box. Their sacrifice
was a necessary result of their resumed
Democracy; but the total overthrow of the
power of the Southern States must needs
have produced, as any one might easily
have foreseen, a religious persecution,
sooner or later. The present “ Republican”
party was formed by a coalition between
the “ Know-Nothings” and the rabid Aboli
tionists. The great object of the latter
(that of the destruction of the institution of
slavery) has been accomplished. The issue
no longer exists. Asa sensation it is dead
and buried. . , .
The Catholics, native and foreign, are to
become the next subjects of persecution and
potitiad and personal tyranny. I gave an
inkling of the movement yesterday from
the official journal.' I might cite a number
of intimations of the same kina .. Qm the
same sort of sources. But it has been
plain ft-om the beginning. The outbreak in
Europe has already been seized upon in
some quarters as an auspicious occasion to
set afoot the new sensation , which is relief
ipon to carry not only the elections this
' ill, bvt the general election in 1872.
furtherance of this coosDiracy, the
pit, to some extent, devoted its elo
quence m Washington yesterday. It will
suffice to quote from the sermon of Rev.
Dr. Boynton, as it is a fair specimen of
several others, to show the extent of the
movement in certain religious as well as po
litical circles. In the extracts which fol
low it will be observed that the designs of
this reverend disturber of the publlfc peace
are veiled by attributing to. hiij, Catholic
fellow-Christians whit has been -ortuifsplly'l
predetermined by the Radical and “Know
Nothing ” coalition. He said :
“The war just begun in Europe has been
thus far treated as one produced by politi
cal causes alone. It Was-’ggM Uiffirffraaoe
desires to extend her boundary, while Prus
sia aimed to become the head of United
Germany. It had a meaning far more pro
found than this, and'One in which-aU Europe
and the East, and we of America, are very
deeply interested, though we mav at present
keep aloof from the strife of arms.”
pg|] l ff
“ This war concerns the three |r*t ¥ re
ligious divisions of Christendom—the
Greek Church, with Russia at its head;
the Romish or Latin Church, of which the
Pope is the spiritual and France the roilb
tary head, and the Protestant Church, of
which Prussia is the European continental
leader and the United States on this Continent,
while England, governed at present by no
great idea, religious or otherwise, is ready
to follow where her interests may lead.”
After heaping unmeasured abuse upon
the heads of the Popes, from Peter down
to Pius IX., the Reverend Doctor of Divin
ity and Politics proceeds:
“ Coming down to our own time and the
opera ions of Louis Napoleon, we must re
member that both in Germany and in the
United States a great Protestant power has
sprung up, thus bringing into the field a
new foe, both to ihe-Papacy and to the des
potism of thrones. France and the Papacy
behold an opponent in the new Greek
Church of Russia and imperialism, and
the Bomanish Church see a power equally
feared in the United States. Since Louis
Napoleon’s attack on Russia, then on Aus
tria, then on Mexico, the position of Eu
rope has been unexpectedly changed.—
Prussia has sprung up into a first class Pro
testant power as the head of Germany ; the
supremacy of the Latin race and of the
Romish Church is threatened in Europe,
and France, urged on by her Jesuits, has
made war upon Prussia for the very same
reason that she attacked Russia and Mex
ico—to conquer Europe—and she would, if
possible, for France and the Papacy. This
is the real significance of the war.”
All the signs of the times, indeed, dis
tinctly point to but one result, namely, a
civil (not a sectional) war, excited and fo
mented by the party in power, whose very
office is national discord, and whose very
existence is incompatible with the repose
and solid prosperity of the people. The
nation should take warning, and be pre
pared to meet (or, if possible, to avert) the
calamities in prospect. No religious de
nomination, conforming to the constitu
tional laws of the land, can be put down
or persecuted here with impunity. X.

The Needle Gun and the Chassepot Rifle.
THE NEEDLE GUN.
The Prussian needle gun is the invention
of Mr. Dreyse, a manniacturer of arms at
Sommerda, who spent over thirty years in
trying to construct a perfect, breech-loading
rifle. The cartridge is inserted at the rear,
and the ignition is produced by the intru
sion of a needle into the fulminate attach
ed to the cartridge. The barrel is 36.06
inches long, and is rifled with four grooves
down to the breech, where the chamber, or
bed for the cartridge, is smooth and a little
larger than the bore. The bed enlarges
slightly to the rear, so as to admit the car
tridge freely, and the lower part of the
bore for a distance of 6.17 inches is en
larged so that the ball is gradually com
pressed into the grooves. The rear of the
barrel is eouical, and is called the mouth
piece. Overt,hi - part there is a six-sided
cylinder, which holds all the mechanism of
the piece. The air-chamber, next to the
cylinder, has the needle pipe screwed into
its breech.
The ball is sperio-conical. The charge of
powder is fifty-six grains. The weight of
the Prussian needle gun is 10.27 pounds to
11.3 pounds. The mechanism can be taken
apart without screw-driver, vice, etc. It
can be safely and easily cleaned, and the
gun beiDg small is particularly adapted for
use in the continued space of loop-holes, on
horseback, etc. The objections to the Prus
sian needle gun are the danger of a weak
ening of tin; spiral spring and the possi
bility that the needle may not be propelled
with sufficient force to pierce the cartridge.
On account of the ease and rapidity with
which it is loaded, there is also danger of a
waste of ammunition, as the soldier, in the
heat of battle, will often fire his piece as fast
as possible, even when he knows the firing
has no effect. To make the best use of the
needle gun, the soldier requires special
training. The Prussian army is very well
trained to its use, anti in this respect has
an advantage over the French, who have
never been in a great battle with their
Chassepot.
THE CHASSEPOT.
The fire-arm which lias been adopted by
the French army is the celebrated Chasse
pot rifle, which is probably the most effi
cient weapon ever put into the hands of an
army of infantry. It resembles the Prus
sian needle-gun, but possesses several im
provements. During the late war between
Prussia and Austria, the effective work of
the newly invented needle gun attracted
the notice of all fighting nations ; and the
French, anticipating that they would
sometime be called upon, to punish Prussia
for her alleged arrogance and want of hon
or, immediately set to work to invent a
weapon that should surpass the needle gun
in its power as an engine of war. The re
sult was the invention of M. Chassepot,
after long and careful study, having the
Prussian gun to aid him and to improve
upon. After the new rifle had been tested
over and over again, the attention of the
Emperor was invited to it, and it was not
long before he was convinced of its supe
riority, and ordered its adoption in the
army.
One of the principal improvements
which the Chassepot has over the needle
gun of Prussia is that its movement is
simpler, and instead of being tightly en
closed in the breach by a cylinder, it is
almost fully exposed, and the employment
of India rubber as an obturator. It is ar
gued that the Prussian gun, after it has
been discharged several times in quick suc
cession, becomes hot and damp in the
chamber, owing to the inability of the gas
which comes back after the explosion of
the cartridge to escape. The inside soon
becomes dirty, and the soldier is required
to take his piece apart and clean it. The
French gun, as may be seen by the cot, is
always open, and while there is no gas shut
np in a chamber to corrode the metal, it
can in a moment be cleansed from dirt or
rust, and the soldier is always able to
quickly discover any accident to his rifle.
It is claimed that this gun is not so easily
clogged as the Prussian needle gun, and is
more substantially built.
The Chassepot is handled in the follow
ing manner : While loading, hold the gun
in the left hand, with the but-end resting
on the left hip. The lever is then turned
with but one movement, from right to left,
and with another pulled back, after which
the cartridge is inserted into the opening
thus effected. By a third movement
pushing back the lever into its original
position—the gnn becomes ready to be fired
off. The projectile is a rather long slug,
with the end rounded and pointed like our
rifle ball. The charge, which is attached
to it in a parar ijoyeriug, is composed of a
peculiar powder, manufactured
the purj&s& Ibe distance to which
this gun carries with certainty is very con
siderable-over 1,000 metres. Both the in
fantry and the chasseurs have only the one
model, but they bayonets differ, in so far as
those of the chasseurs are sword bayonets.
The Pahis Hack Brigade. —One of the
curious late dispatches from Paris is that
fifteen hundred Paris hackmen have volun
teered for the French army. Whether they
intend to hacks with thenvand

is not stated. If so, in the event they are

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
FOURTEENTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
& - A
Wednesday, July 28, 1870.
SENATE.
The Senate met at 10 o’clock, a. m., pur
suant to adjournment, and was called to
finaiftY
Prjtyer by the Rev. We,si eyPre tty man.
The roll was called and the Journal of
yesterday’s proceedings read and approved.
Mr-. Welbern, in pursuance qf'notice pre
viously given, moved to reconsider the ac
tion of the Senate of yesterday, making the
resolutions then offered by Mr. Campbell,
cQlqred, the special order for to-day. He
4es|r*d further time for investigating the
merits of the measures proposed.
Mr. Hnngerford objected to all delay,
and moved to lay the motion to reconsider
on the table.
The yeas and nays being demanded on
the motion, were—yeas, 16; nays, 16.
The Chair voted yea, so the motion to
lay on the table prevailed.
Mr. Higbee, Chairman of Committee on
Elections, submitted the report of that
committee, which stated the Hon. B. R.
McCiutchin refused and was nnable to
take the oath prescribed bv Congress for
his admission to the Legislature, and that
Mr. William Henry had received the next.
highest number of votes; wherefore, the
committee recommend that said William
Henry be allowed, at once, to take his seat
as Senator from the 44th District.
• Mr. Welborn, member of the Committee
on Elections, submitted a minority report
of that committee, recommending the pas
sage of a resolntion that the vacancy ex
isting in the 44th Senatorial District, pro
duced by the death of the Hon. B. R. Mc-
Crntchin, should be filled by election, as
now provided by law.
Mr. Higbee moved the adoption of the
majority report of the committee.
Mr. Barns hoped the motion would not
prevail, as he desired for certain parlies
time to produce further testimony before
the committee, and moved that the report
be recommitted.
Mr. Higbee objected to the motion of Mr.
Burns, as he considered that ample notice
had been given.
Mr. Fain stated that he had received
communications from various parties who
desired time to introduce testimony before
the committee, and he opposed all haste iu
deciding the question.
Mr. Brock objected to the motion to re
commit the report.
Mr. Higbee called the previous question.
Mr. Candler objected to the call of the
previous question, as he believed the mat
ter was not yet sufficiently understood to
justify a vote.
The question was then pot upon the
motion to recommit, and resulted yeas
11, nays 21—so the motion to recommit
was lost.
Mr. Candler claimed that the hour for
which a special order had been adopted
had arrived and that the question on the
report of the committee could no longer be
considered.
The President overruled the point of or
der and put the question on the adoption of
the majority report, on which the yeas and
nays were: yeas 23, nays 9; so the report
was adopted.
Mr. Higbee moved that if Mr. William
Ileury was present he be at once sworn in,
iu pursuance to the report.
Mr. Candler eloquently opposed the mo
tion ; lie believed the matter had been hur
ried through without time either for the
production of testimony or full discussion.
Mr. Hinton hoped the motion would be
withdrawn until to-morrow; he claimed
that Mr. Henry is unable to take the oath
necessary for his admission under Order
No. 90 of Gen. Meade, as he does not claim
to have been elected; he insisted that the
matter had been passed upon already in the
resolution rejected a few days ago, and
under the constitution conld not again be
agitated during this session.
Mr. Higbee demanded the previous ques
tion.
The main question was then put upon
tbe motion of Mr. Higbee to swear in Mr.
Henry, which resulted—
Ayes—Brock, Campbell, Coleman, Cor
bitt, Crayton, colored, Dickey, Dunning,
Griffin of the 6th,Griffin, of the 21st, Harris,
Henderson, Higbee, Hungerford, Jones,
Matthews, Merrill, Sherman, Smith, of the
36th, Speer, Wallace, and Welch—22.
Nays—Burns, Candler, Fain, Hinton,
McArthur, Nesbitt, Nunnally, Stringer,
Traywick, Wooten—lo.
The motion prevailed.
Mr. Candler moved that the Senate ad
journ. Lost.
Mr. Candler entered his protest, which
was read, stating that Mr. Henry was
ineligible on his own statement.
Mr. Henry was then called np by the
Chair and sworn in as Senator from the
44th District.
On motion of Mr. Brock, the special
order of the day was then taken up, being
the resolutions offered by Mr. Campbell
(colored), on yesterday, providing for the
postponement of all elections in this State
until the admission of its Senators and
Representatives in Congress.
A communication in writing was receiv
ed from the Governor, by his Secretary.
Mr. Harris moved that when the Senate
adjourned, it shall adjourn to meet at 4, p.
m., to-day, in order to dispose of the reso
lutions without delay.
Mr. Nunnally opposed the motion.
Mr. Brock moved that the Senate ad
journ until the usual hour to-morrow.
The motion was carried and the Senate
accordingly adjourned until to-morrow.
HOUSE.
The House met at the usual hour, the
Speaker in the Chair.
Prayer by the Rev. Dr. Brantly.
The Journal of yesterday’s proceedings
was read.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, from the special
committee, reported favorably on the bill
to amend the charter of Cartersville, with
certain amendments thereto.
The motion to suspend the rules to take
up the said bill prevailed, and the bill was
read the second time.
The amendment of the committee was
approved, and the bill, together with a
local bill, by
Mr. Harper, of Terrell, in relation to
road law, was passed and ordered to be
transmitted to the Senate.
Mr. Saulter’s resolution to seat certain
members, being the regular order of unfin
ished business, was taken up.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, rose to a point
of order and said that the gentlemen in
question were not elected under General
Meade’s order, and that they are not en
titled t 0 their seats under the act of Con
gress dated December 22, 1869, and that a
similar point of order was sustained by the
Speaker on the third of May last.
The Speaker again ruled that the point
was well taken, from which ruling
Mr. Bryant appealed, saying that Geor
gia has been admitted in the Union ; that
the assertion that Georgia is not in the
Uuion is a mere quibble; that if Georgia is
not in the Union what right has this Legis
ture to enact laws. Georgia is a State and
is recognized as such. The great point
aimed at is the defeat of an election this
Fall, and these men are to be kept out in
furtherance of this object.
A message from the Senate was received,,
saying that the Senate had concurred in
the House resolution to appoint a'commit
tee to confer with the Mayor and Council
of Atlanta on the “ Capitol questionalso,
that the Senate had concurred in the reso
lutions of respect to the late Hon. R. W.
Flournoy.
Mr. O’Neal replied to Mr. Bryant, saying
that the geqtlenjan from Richmond was
not competent to declare the duty of this
House, he having resigned.
Mr. Bryant said he withdrew his resig
nation before he was notified of its accept
ance.
Mr. O’Neal continued—That Georgia has
not been fully reconstructed; and that she
is not fully in the Union; that Mr. Smith,
of Coffee, iu favor of whose admission he
had voted, was elected under Gen. Meade’s
order, while the members from Irwin and
Telfair were elected under proclamation of
Governor Bullock in 1868, upon the faith
of a joint resolution by a Legislature vir
tually declared illegal by Congress ; that if
he believed these gentlemen were legally
entitled to their seats he would so vote.
On motion, the Rev. Dr. Hamilton was
invited to a seat qn this ljoor.
Mr. Harper hoped that the seating of the
’“men from Irwin ana Telfair would
not be mauv which the said geo?
joint resolution unu- •-•eel before the
tlemen were elected was pao..
colored members were expelled; w. "** v
election, under Meade’s proclamation, was
not heWLin the said counties, because the
manager* were providentially hindered
from attending the polls ; that when GesE
Meade left Georgia, all the rights he had in
such matteii|fell upon Gov. Bullock.
Mr. Bryant’s appeal from the Speaker**
decision was lost; upon the calling of the
yeas and nays the vote stood as follows:
Those voting to sustain the decision are,
Messrs. Atkins, Allen, of Jasper, Allen, of

Mr. Rawls gave notice that he would

to-morrow.
At the appointed hour the penitentiary
report was taken up.
Mr. Bryant spoke at length opposing and
condemning the report made by the com-'
mittee, and particularly the speech of the
chairman ; he commented at length upon
the mode of punishing convicts, and espeefi*
ally the manner in which females were'
treated.,'
