Can the President be Dlvcilcc! of His
Powers Before Conviction •
The country is aware that it is the
purpose of the Radicals to impeach the
President at the ensuing session of Con
gress, and hence, the enquiry ot his be
ing divested of his powers before con
viction.
There is, to our mind, one plain and
simple principle in common law which
clearly settles this question, and that is,
that all arc guiltless before the law un
til the opposite is established. This
great principle, we are aware, lies un
derneath the entire fabric of jurispru
dence, and, without it, there would be
no safety for any one. The mere fleet
of the existence of an impeachment docs
not fix the guilt of the President. The
impeachment is nothing but a bill of in
dictment—a mere embodiment of the
charge or charges, and is only the initia
tory step towards bis trial. The whole
question then comes up for a hearing,
the witnesses appear, and the prosecu
tor proceeds to his work of conviction.
Meantime the President remains intact
and is as innocent in the eye of the law
as he who was never impeached, and is
bound, by virtue of bis office and bis
oath, to move forward, as usual, in the
discharge of his official duties. There
can be no cessation—no suspension or
stopping of his functions, lie still re
mains President of.the United States,
and there is no power granted by the
Constitution which can possibly inter
fere with him.
To assume that he could be ejected
from office by simple impeachment, be
fore any: trial is bad, or there is any in
vestigation of the case, would establish
one of the most dangerous and alarming
precedents that could possibly befall
this Republic—one that would put the
whole nation in jeopardy, and hazard
the- fortunes of our countrymen from
Maine to California. For at any mo
ment, and upon the slightest and most
trivial pretense, the enemies of the Pres
ident could trump up some false ground
of impeachment, and while the prose
cution was pending, could pass into sol
emn enactments the most atrocious and
destructive measures. It requires but
little sagacity to perceive how this would
eventuate. How would it be,for instance)
with the present party in power? Sup
pose they, in their madness and folly
conclude to impeach the President, as
we verily believe they wiil; is it not at
once apparent that they would prompt
ly remove him from office, and then pro
ceed to carry out their fatal legislation
towards the South ? Would not confis
cation, the enfranchisement of the ne
groes, and the disfranchisement ot the
whites immediately follow ? Would not
the work of ruin be speedily accomplish
ed? There would be no chance to pro
ve'nt it, for the President’s hands would
be tied and there would be no power to
restrain them or to check their lawless
ness by the exercise of a wholesome ve
to.
Jt is nonsense to say what the Radi
cals would do, for they are capable of
any and all meanness; hut we are sim
ply discussing their right to ostracise
the President without a fair and impar
tial trial, and to render his acts nugato
ry before that trial is ended. In that
event we would witness a condition of
things never dreamed of by the wisest
and most virtuous statesman from the
days of Washington, to the present.—
Y.'c .would see the President suddenly
hurled from power, and some contempt
ible tyrant and fanatic foisted in bis
place, and then would begin that reign
of terror and oppression, which could
alone result from the control of this Gov
ernment by a band of ruffians.
C3U ‘b\ good looking intelligent, well
dressed, lidv and prepossessing white
girl,” of Ohio, has married a big Sambo,
about seven degrees blacker than a buck
et of coal tar. Mated doves—
“two souls with but a single thought
Two colors mixed in one.”
Exchange.
That is emphatically, negro on the
brain; and, perhaps, negro in embryo!
When two such souls breathe hut one
breath but one thought and jostle two
colors into one, we may expect a union
which will promise an offspring as black
as the ace of spades. We congratulate
these lovely pinks upon their timely of
fering upon the altar of Hymen, and
hope the good work may go on until the
whole race of Yankees may turn as
black as a bucket of coal tar, and be
converted into big buck negroes.
Grass ami Clover in tlie South' |
We sec a lengthy and an elaborate dis-,
cession going on in the Southern Culti
vator as to tire growing clover and
grass in the south. We arc of the
opinion that that will be labor spent in
vain, for, in our judgment, there is no
land any where in the State of Georgia
where either can he grown with any
sort of success. Grass like grain or
cotton, must have a congenial soil.
There must be a mutual adaptation.—
The soil in other words, must suit it.
Why can we raise cotton with such
abundant success in the South? Simply
because the soil and the climate are
friendly to its growth. Nowhere else
can it bo grown as we grow it here, for
the reason that no where else does it find
the same congeniality, It is therefore,
upon this common sense hypothethis
that we contend that none of the grasses
can flourish in this latitude. Any one
at all familiar with the nature of the
particular grasses, will see that they can
not exist here. Even if the soil favor
ed, they could not withstand the terri
ble heat of this climate. Not only is
it intense hut is protracted for many
long months, often so hot as to wither
vegitation ol all kinds. And if the
climate favored, the soil does not. The
most of it is a bed of sand. There is
not tenacity enough in it to hold the
roots of grass, and just so soon as the
scorching sun makes its appearance,
they would ho instantly killed. In
Virginia. Kentucky and Tennessee we
find that the grasses do better in a close
compact soil, free from sand, with a
strong clay subsoil and thoroughly
impregnated with lime.
All the attempts, therefore, of plant
ers to introduce and to grow any of
the grasses peculiar to the border States
would he a work of supererogation and
a waste of time, mondy, and labor.
Tea.—Mr. M. Jones, of Liberty coun
ty, Ga., has written for the Cultivator a
communication on the culture of tea in
the South. The editor ot the Cultivator
says : “Our correspondent lias favored
| us with a sample of the tea prepared by
I him. In appearance, fragrance and fla
j vor, it precisely resembles a fine article
of Chinese Black Tea. If our planta
tions.can produce tea as finely flavored
as this, wi'h as little trouble as Mr. J.,
states is required in the process, it is the
most profitable crop we can grow. In
conversation with him, another point
was elicited, to wit: that when tea is
raised in localities near the coast, when
the plants are once established, nearly
all the labor comes during the healthy
season of the year, and after gathering,
the planter can retire and spend most of
the summer in a more healthy locality!”
We hear much about the raising of
tea and the Castor Bean and various
other productions in the South, which
really form no part of the staple pro
duction of this country which should
never, for one moment, engage the at
tention of our planters. The only great
staple of the South, is, cotton, and to
the cultivation of that all the energies
and the intelligence of the land should
he directed. Nothing else can he grown
so successfully as this, and the reason is
obvious. The soil and the climate com
bine to develop, not only a superior ar
ticle, of a beautiful and fine texture and
fibre, hut an abundant yield. This fact
has never been questioned. "Why then
prevent the generous designs of Provi
dence and nature, and endeavor to do
that which they forbid ?
Very Well Put— Someone writes
both gracefully and forcibly:
“I would he glad to sec more parents
understand that when they spend mon
ey judiciously to improve and adorn the
house and the ground around it, they
are in effect paying their children to
stay at home, as much as possible to
enjoy it; hut that when they spend
their money unnecessarily in fine c loth
ing and jewelry for their children, they
are paying them a premium to spend
their little time away from home—that
is, in those places where they can at
tract the most attention and make the
most display.”
That is a capital hit. The whole
truth is told in very few words. For
the want of attractions at home, many
a young lad}' and young man are
prompted to seek and find attractions
somewhere else, and in doing so, often
fall into snares and fatal temptations.
But why should home he neglected and
suffered to decay, arid our money spent
as freely as water, to adorn our chil
dren! Are they benefitted by this I '
Will it do them any good? On the
contrary, will it not foster foolish pride,
make them indifferent to home and
beget in them extravagant habits?
By all means make home as attract
ive as possible. Erect handsome and
tasteful lesidences. Fill them with neat
hul; elegant furniture. Lay off, beauti
ful grounds, large and-airy, and adorn
tlicm with trees and Shrubbery" and
flowers. Do this and yom- children
will he delighted with home. j
FnKTGiiT on Cotton.—We observe
from the Atlanta papers, that the saga
cious Superintendent of the Georgia
Railroad, is determined not to he out
done liy the Tennessee lines, and has put
the freight of compressed cotton, of 500
lbs weight, at §5.80, from Atlanta to
New York.— Chron. <& Sentinel.
We are not right sure that that lias
been done exactly. The S. W. 11. Road,
we understand, now proposes to ship to
Savannah for one dollar a hundred,which
would be just five dollars on a hale of
cotton weighing 500 pounds. From
thence to New York, the cost is 82.50
per hale, making from this point, §7.50
on the bale to New York. Now add
railroad charges from here to Atlanta,
and it will be seen the cost on a bale of
cotton by that route, which we are in
clined to think, will exceed the Savan
nah route. But this route is preferable,
even at a higher rate. The like of com
plaints have never been heard if, as are
now in vogue against the Atlanta route,
on account of the loss of cotton some,
where in Tennessee or Virginia We
know of sundry parties who have lost
immensely the past year, and have tried
in vain to have their losses adjusted.—
There is no complaint against any ofthc
Georgia roads, for, so far as we know
anything about them, they have done
their duty. The whole ground of com
plaint is against the Virginia and the
Tennessee roads, and that is really very
serious.
Modern Improvements in Virginia.
—The Richmond Enquirer says:
A pump at the door—a dairy in the
yard—a kitchen under the same roof- —a
cooking stove, instead of a fire-place
built to hold a half-cord —seasoned fuel,
sawed and split, and placed under con
venient shelter—a washing machine in
stead of a washing tub—these and oth
er conveniences supplied to our farmers’
wives, would enable them to manage
their domestic affairs with one-fourth
the former number of servants, and with
more ease and comfort. As servants
are not to he had in past supply, these
economical expedients become absolute
ly necessary ; and every husband wor
thy of die name will take care to supply
them without waiting until the ladies
are worn down in the attempt to con
duct their household operations after
the former manner with the few domes
tics now at command.
The great fault of our people, is, that
they have no economical arrangement
of conveniences. Everything is out of
place, and no place for anything. Hav
ing been accustomed so long to command
the services of negroes, and to have eve
rything done by thorn, we did not led
the necessity of making con venient ar
rangements so as to avoid trouble and
labor.
Our circumstances, however, wiil now
impose upon ns the necessity in con
structing our houses and improving our
homes, to have an eye to comfort, con
venience and economy. It won’t do to
have our wells at too great a distance—
our wood-yards out of reach —our smoke
house off in some corner of the premises
—our kitchens fifty yards from our di
ning room, and our larder in some re'
mote place, subject only to the care and
supervision of some negress. All this
must he promptly and speedily aban
doned, and we must exercise our best
ingenuity in arranging our house-hold
affairs, as to require the smallest amount
of trouble and labor.
The Crops and the Markets. — The
N. Y. Herald says, from “all evidence
it appears that the damage to the crops
by the late floods in the West has been
general; hut the amount of grain de
stroyed will not he more than thejgreat
excess of the crop over those of former
years: The grain crops of iB6O bade
fair before the late rains, to be immense
in value, and in spite of the late destruc
tion we shall have more than an aver
age crop. Our European information
states that the grain crops there have
been, comparatively, failures. This fact,
and that of the late wars in Europe,
will create an immense demand for our
grain, and our farmers may look for
ward to a brisk demand and high prices.”
There is no use in misrepresenting facts.
We care not if the floods have been gen
eral in the West, there has been no ma
terial dimunition of the grain crop. We
have the very best authority for saying
that the amount of grain and wheat
'raised this year in the Western States,
will far exceed any crop that has been
produced in the United States since we
have been a people. There will bo
grain enough to supply the world, and
then plenty left to meet the wants of
outsiders. Speculators know how to
‘■•raise the wind’’ when they want to car
ry a point. We now say to the planters
of Georgia to rest easy. They will not
starve, nor will they' have to pay such
exhorbitant prices for their supplies.
The National Intelligencer publishes
a list of ninety Generals who support
the restoration policy of the'President,
among them are General U. S. Grant,
General- W. T. Sherman, Geo, B. Mc-
Clellan, and other names of distinction.
A Dirty Cuss.
The Philadelphia Mercury , speaking
of the parade of the “.Mean Whites,” in
that city, says:
‘•The most disgusting feature of the
Disunion procession oh Monday last
was the. profane old scoundrel, Brown
low, from Tennessee, lie passed our
office in a carriage, stfeatched out at
full length with iiis feet hanging over
the side, and exhibiting the dirtiest
pair of stockings we ever saw on a
whiteman. Now, there was no excuse
for this; there is plenty of water here,
and he should at least have some re
spect for the people of Philadelphia, if
he lias none tor himself. Parson have
your stockings washed before you go
home.”
It would be no use, Mr, Mercury—
all the water in the Eairmouut Water
Works would not cleanse the foul and
reaking carcass of the nastiest devil
outside of hell’s polluted shades. If
a lightning machine was invented to
strip the stockings, shirts and clothing
from off his hide at the rate of 250 suits
an hour, it would he found that every
suit was so thoroughly and horribly
impregnated with filth, as to fall in
fragments from utter rottenness. lie

an atmosphere of uncleanness —an of
fense to all humanity—a walking pesti

His ranting and ravings are all symp
toms of his terrible distemper; his blas
phemy and profanity the safety-valve
which prevent an explosion of the de
composing and decaying matter of
which Brownlow is composed. By
day he oozees and reeks with foulness;
by night lie is surrounded by a ghastly
glimmer, like that which covers a rotten
fish or a decaying stump! Bitty him;
pray for him! his fate is more horrible
than that of Cain; more terrible to bear
than that of the fabled “ wandering
jew!” lie lives to prove what a foul
and monstrous demon can take the
form of man and preach and act the
gospel of Rump treason.
Clean him—oh, no, Philadelphia
Mercury, it cannot he done—many
things are possible, hut the cleansing
of Brownlow, like the invention of
perpetual motion can neverbe realized
by weak humanity.

Facts vs. Theories.
“Give me a place to rest my lever
on,” says Archimedes, “ and I will
move the world.” “Give me pure and
unadulterated drugs,” says Medicus, of
the olden time, “ and I will cure
disease.”
In one sense, both of these learned
pundits were the variest charlatans.—
They knew there was no place to rest
there lever on, either to move the world
or cure disease. Mechanism was in a
backward state, and the medical pro
fession was hut another name for sorcei v,
and all the adjuncts of magic filters and
charms of the “evil eye.” &c.
But these latter days have bore unto
us something even more than supersti
tion and its crew ever dreamt in their
maddest philosophy. In these days of
practical science, what was theory of
yesterday is fact to day, and all the old
time notions become as bubbles in the
sun, and hurst and brake with every
breath we draw.
Let Archimedes shoulder his lever
and we will find a resting place for it
to move the world. Let mine ancient
Medicus pant and toil no more tor the
drugs he so sorely needs, for we have
them at our hand, ever ready to serve
them at his beck.

Southern Mails •
Editors ofthc Washington Union:
Gentlemen: Having, as I conceive,
been wrongfully assailed by a few pa
pers at the South, you will plcaSe allow
me a brief space in your paper for de
fense. A friend in Alabama has just
sent me an article clipped from some
unknown paper, hut credited to the
Montgomery Mail, ot which the follow,
ing is an extract:
“A fellow in Washington advertises
that he will apply for all the contracts
Riid take all the oaths and sub-let the
contracts to ex-rebels who will pay him
5 per cent of the pay. But we would
warn the people against such a Yankee
dodge. lie would draw all the pay:at
Washington, and put it into his loyal
pocket.”
I presume I am the person alluded
to as T am advertising to aid the
Southern people in reopening the mail
routes, and charge 5 per cent, commis
sion, But I defy the editors of the
Montgomery Mail or any other person
to sustain the allegation made in the
foregoing article. Though poor, lam
proud to believe that I possess a charac
ter that is unimpeachable.
When I came to Washington city I
brought with me a recommendation
signed by six of the most prominent
persons in my county, (Moore, N. 0-,)
