TrpVeekly Republican, Americus, Georgia: 0. W 7 HANCO CK. Editor aud Proprietor. CJ"!' . " 'T 111 IL. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 18(!7. Abject of the Military Govehn menAßili,—The Washington corres pondent! of tbe Cincinnati Commercial Buys in Hfeecent telegram : “The adroit ness of the plan, as exhibited by confer ring the atltninistratiou of military affairs at the Sou‘h exclusively upon General Grant, ia.niuch commented on here. It is no dtubt intended for the purpose of bringing on a conflict between that officer and the President, who, by express pro- vision of the Constitution, is made Com inander-in-Chicf of the Army and Navy. It the bill should become a law over a veto, and General Grant should under take to execute it, the President by vir tue of his prerogative, would have the right to interfere and order Grant aud the whole army, if necessary, to other points. If this order should not be obey ed, a conflict of authority would ensue, and that is just what the Radical leaders in Congress are seeking to bring about, on the other hand, if the Lieutenuiit . General should (as lie is bound to do) comply with the command of the Execu tive, a general howl would instantly be get up that the President was obstructing the execution of a law of Congress.— Thus your readers will perceive the real design of these conspirators at the Capitol. The bill in question is a mere trap set for the President, and nobody else.” A Prophecy of Retributioii—Gloomy Reflections. The venerable Nathan Lord, I). 1)., for a third of a century President of Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, amid all the political infatuation and religious fanaticism that has surround ed him, and that compelled him finally to surrender the position ho has so long adorned, adheres steadfastly to the principles and opinions that 3m espoused before the insanity that now prevails in his section of country had become general. The Charleston Mer cury of Saturday publishes a portion of a private letter written by liim last month to one of bis former pupils, extracts from which we subjoin : “Ido not justify, in point of Chris tian principles or common prudence, the methods by which you sought re dress of the wrongs you have, for more than a generation, received from the North. But I more blame our selves, first, for our denunciation of slavery itself, in distinction from its abuses, and then for our “irrepressible conflict” with it, undertaken upon false moral and political grounds, and carried on, hatefully, as it has been, after a Mohometan fashion. Were the institution an malum in se, and not sometimes a conservative necessi ty for all the parties, pur method of overcoming it has been, from first to last, unworthy of a Christian people. We have done the work. We have given you a dreadful punishment. But, as we have done it in unrighte ousness, our retribution, some time, somehow, will come, perhaps to gen eral dissolution. “Yet I dare not speculate about the future. * * I fold my hands, and wait upon the providence of God. Hut in the general and in the long run I see no good before us. Judgment will come. * * * * * * * “I think thus the rather because I seem to see an approaching catastro phe of all the nations. The world has grown old in transgression. From East to West the experiment of reforming and saving it has been tried in vain. We are the Westernmost and last ; and now that Christianized Anglo-Saxon, republican wisdom has failed, instead of calling on God for help we are calling on the negro. We look to a hrutified, shiftless and licen tious people to aid us in the work of self-government, which has been im possible to ourselves, and which 1 now believe is impossible on earth. # * # * * * * “The demonstration seems now almost complete that man can neither govern not be governed, nor govern himself, and that the last failure will somehow prove the greatest of all. The volcanic throes of the nations to overturn arbitrary power will he ulti mately successful. Then “liberty, equality, fraternity,” will have its short day ; and when its Babel seems to be completed, the dream of earth will vanish. * * * * * * ■* “Here all such prophesying is vain. I find myself almost alone. I somc t:mes imagine that I could do more among your people, and even among the outcast, suffering and perishing ne groes, than among the philanthropists who have given them boon which they know not how to use, and which these boasters never would have given them but to make them subservient to their fanatical enterprises or their lust of power. But my day is past. What can one at three-score and fifteen do but repose, and prate, and lament!” REPORT OF THE NEW RIOT COMMITTEE. A Government for Louisiana. Washington, Feb.—Messrs. Elliot and Shellabarger, who was appointed the 10th of December commenced the following day examining the citi zens of Louisiana here. They com menced the examination at New Or leans on the 22d December and closed 3d January ; resumed hereon the 15th and closed examination on the 2d Feb ruary. They examined 170 witnesses, 47 of whom were examined at the re quest of the city of New Orleans. — Our history shows that no riot, so destitute of justifiable cause, has re sulted in a massacre so inhuman and fieml-like. The direct cause of the riot was the reassembling of the Con vention, pursuant to a call by lion. R. 11. Howell, acting president. The Committee gives the history of the Convention and riot. Some policemen acted to save, not destroy, life. Several members including Mr. Fish, were saved by being arrested. Governor I Tali n was protected in pass ing from the ball to prison, though he received many blows from other policemenbefore falling into the bands that saved him. Some other instances of kindness by the police are given. There are exceptionalities. The police and mob, in bloody enmtation, contin ued the butchery until nearly 200 were killed and wounded. . Ten policemen were wounded, none severe ly, and none killed. If the Conven tion had been armed, or the colored people been called in advance to pro tect the Convention, this could not have been the case. The riot was not an accident. It was the determined purpose of the Mayor to disperse the Convention. The Committee proceeds to discuss the question, quoting the telegram from the President to Lt. Gov. Voor heess, which they say, assured Voor hees, of Presidential support in the proposed action. The President is censured for overlooking the Governor, whom he knew to be loyal, and in ad dressing Lt. Governor Yoorhees, and Attorney General Brown, not in sympathy with the Governor, and giving direction which if carried out as the Lt. Governor and Attorney General understood them, would have placed the military with the Mayor in arresting the members of the Conven tion. The President knew the condi tion of affairs in July. He knew that the rebels and disloyal men bad con trolled Monroe’s election. He knew that Mayor Monroe was an unpardon ed rebel, that be was suspended by Gen. Dix, and that he had subsequent ly pardoned him. He must have known VoOrhces and Herron’s rebel antecedents. lie knew that riot and bloodshed was apprehended. He knew that military orders were in force, yet without the knowledge of the Secretary of War or General of the army, he gave orders by telegraph that he intended to compel the soldiers to aid the rebels against men who were loyal during the war. The Committee discusses at length the right of Congress to legislate to place Louisiana within the control of loyal men. The military 7 must con trol until the people of Louisiana ad opt a Constitution assuring safety to the republic, and receive the sanction of Congress. These results follow a successful war. These results would not follow had it been an insurrection instead of a civil war. Until a loyal State of Louisiana exists in full accord with the United States, and a republi can form of government be guaranteed, the objects of the war are unattained. The accomplishment of this requires temporarily a Provisional Governor. The loyal people of Louisiana must form such a Constitution, and in the meantime their safety requires a pro visional government. In discharge of their duty, the, Com mittee submits the following bill : lie it enacted, That the- President nominate, and the Senate confirm a Governor for Louisiana, w.ho shall hold office for one year, unless sooner removed by a successor elected under the provisions of this act. The Gov ernor must be a citizen of Louisiana, must at all times have borne true faith and allegiance to the United States, and shall take the oath of July 2,1802, and in addition, that he has done no act which would work disqualification under the provisions of this act. 2d. The President shall nominate and the Senate confirm a Provisional Council of nine persons, qualified like the Governor and taking the same oath.

The Coun cil, with the Governor, shall be invest ed with Legislative power. In no case shall such Governor or Counsell ors enter office until confirmed by the Senate. The Counsel shall remain in perpetual session, with power to ad journ no longer than thirty days. A majority may constitute a quorum. 3d. lt shall be the duty of the Gov ernor to see to the execution of Feder al and State laws. He shall nominate, and with the consent of the Council, commission officers now existing, or until successors shall be elected and qualified as herein stated. All such officers and members of the Conven tion herein provided must be able to take the oath prescribed. 4th. The electors qualified by this Act, unless Congress orders other wise, shall meet on the first Tuesday in June, 1867, an 1 shall elect a Gov ernor, Lieut, Governor, a Senate, House of Representatives and other officers herein provided.

All officers shall hold one year, or until their successors shall be duly qualified, unless sooner relieved as herein provided. Their powers, duties, fees, and compensa tions shall be as now, unless incon sistent with this Act. 6th. The following, and none others shall vote: Male citizens of the Uni ted States 23 years old, regardless of race or color, who have been a year in the State, and never bore arms against the country since a citizen, can truly take the oath July 2d, 1862 ; provided that, any other person other wise qualified ns an elector, who never volunteered, gave aid and com fort to the rebellion, nor to a Govern ment mimical to the United States in any other manner, capacity or rank than a private soldier in open and civilized warfare, may be admitted to the rights of an elector by order of a Federal court of record, by establish ing the facts that on the testimony of persons who have always been loyal, and establishing as aforesaid, that after the 4th of March, 1864, he never gave voluntary aid and comfort to the rebellion, or to a Government inimical to the United States. After estab lishing the above facts and subscri bing an oath that these tilings are true, bring him within this proviso and that he will bear true allegiance to the Government of the United States, and a perpetual union of the States thereunder, lie shall receive a certficate entitling him to electoral rights. 6th. The Secretary of War is au thorized to make and publish rules for a just and true-regist ration of electors prior to any election herein ordered, the time for holding elections not ordered in this act, the place and manner of conducing elections, ap pointment and compensation of offi cers of elections, and every other thing necessary,for holding free elec tions. But all persons so appointed shall be electors under the.provisions of this act, and shall take the oath of July 2d, and to faithfully discharge their duties. 7tb. On the third Tuesday in] Oc tober, unless otherwise ordered by Congress, the persons qualified shall vote for members of a Convention to adopt a Constitution a frame a gov ernment for the State of Louisiana, flic qualifications of members shall be twenty-five years old, ar.d all others required in the case of the Governor under this act. The number of dele gates and districts to be the same as now for the House. None shall be en titled to seats unless they take the oath of July 2, 1862. The Constitu tion shall not permit distinction on account of color or race, and shall rec ognize the power and duty of the Government to enforce perpetual unity of the States. It shall provide that no debt contracted in support of the rebellion shall be assumed or paid; that no pension, compensation or gift shall be bestowed or paid by the State to any person by reason ot anything done or suffered in support of the re bellion. The Constitution shall be submitted to electors qualified by tills act; the election to be held under rules to he prescribed by tbe Secreta ry of War, and if approved by a ma jority must be submitted to Congress. Bth. It shall be the duty of the President to designate forthwith an officer of the army, not under a Briga dier, to be stationed in Louisiana, and to be military commander within the State. It shall be the further duty of tlie President to place there, under the command of such General, a requi site force to execute the duty prescrib ed, when ever the civil authorities re fuse, neglect or omit a speedy enforce ment of the laws for the punishment or preventation of crime against the rights of any person whatsoever. The General shall arrest and hold such of fender until the civil authorities prose cute. The General shall assist the civil authorities in cnfoicingthe laws, regulating elections, and to ensure the enforcement of laws without regard to race or color. oth. The laws of the Council or Provisional Legislature shall be c#*t?g tied to by the Secretary of the tSeiitbrff for Congressional approval, and should Congress disapprove, the fact shall be certified to by the Chief Justice of Louisiana, and such disapproved laws shall be void after the date of their receipt by the Chief Justice. 10th. Until admitted to represen tation as a loyal State, Louisiana shall be allowed one delegate in Congress, chosen at the first election ordered herein. He must have the same quali ficotions as the Governor and shall have the right and powers ofTerrito rial representatives in the House. 11 tli. All laws now 'in force in Louisiana, consistent with this act, shall remain in force until repealed or modified, provided no person shall be competent to act as a juror who is an elector under this act. All expenses incident to the administration of the Provisional Government herein provi ded, shall be collected and paid as now done for the support of the present Government. The Augusta Constitutionalist, in view of the scarcity of corn and other breadstuff’s, suggests to every one having he least “patch of ground,’’ to cultivate as freely as possible the Irish potato. This is the month in which to plant —the crop matures early—that is, earlier than any other substitute for bread. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. SENATE. Wasuinosox, Feb. 12. going to work on the bill before it, Maj. Gen, Moorer, Bureau Commiss ioner for Louisiana, was assigned to duty according to bis Brevet rank. Gen. Kiddoo, Commissioner of Texas, was received and ordered to report to tbe General commanding the Depart ment of the Lakes. Gen. Jeff. 0. Da vis, Bureau Commissioner of Ken tucky, was relieved. The bill redeving compound interest notes, was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The Commerce Committee reported favorably on the bill amending the act for the safety of passengers on vessels propelled by steam. Mr. Morrill introduced a bill regula ting the distribution of tbe Frecd mcri’s Bureau funds. The Judiciary Committee were di rected to report on the expediency of a Constitutional amendment, extend ing the Presidential term to six years, forbidding a re-election, and abolish ing the office of N ice President and the electoral college. The Bankrupt bill was taken up. Mr. Sum Ar urges bis test oath amendment, leading to a discussion of affairs in the South. Mr. Howard had learned from a gentleman just from Texas, that fif teen murders had been committed in that State, and no convictions. Mr. Doolittle defended the South. Mr. Chandler gave notice of a bill repealing the tariff and establishing a uniform tariff’of fifty per cent ad val orem cm all importations. The Bankrupt bill passed—twenty to ten. «. Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to pay for Quartermaster’s stores taken from loyal people. Committees are to be appointed for each State to whom all i claims are to be referred. Referred to Committee on Military Affairs. The Senate is in session to-night. HOUSE. The Committee on Ways and Means were instructed to inquire into the ex pediency of allowing a reduction of 10 per cent of the tariff on goods im ported in American bottoms. Mr. Elliott’s Louisiana bill, was re sumed and amended by s'riking out a provision for one representative to Congress. A long colloquy ensued, the Democrats asking time for debate. Mr. Stevens ineffectually asked a postponement for the consideration of Ills bill. The motion was then reject ed—4o to 80. Mr. Boyer and Mr. Harden spoke against the bill. Mr. Elliott read a letter from Julian Neville, of New Orleans, a grandson of a Revolutionary Neville, appealing for a loyal government in Louisiana ; also resolutions from Southern Loyal ist Association endorsing the bill.— The House passed the bill by a vote of 113 to 48. The Republicans voting nay, and Messrs. Baker, Bingham, King, Kendall, Stillwell, Thayer and Whaley. Mr. Stevens’ bill was resumed and the House adjourned. The Old Sistcm. A writer in the Selma Times lias ! some remarks in regard to tli a past, \ present, and future, of our farming ! and planting interests, which strike us as being more sensible than a good many other things we meet with in the papers these times. We have only room for a short extract: We fear that too many of our people are still hugging the delusion of keeping up the old plantation sys tem, now that the morale of the la boring population has been lost. It may have been very pleasant to the eye to look over a domain o-f a thous and acres all under the control and cultivation of a s.ngle mind, but the day for that style of things has pass ed ; and perhaps the same domain broken up into ten or twenty farms, each with its cottage and barn, ten anted by an honest and laborious, but more intelligent peasantry may seem quite compensatory for the old system in the eyes ol future genera tions. For out part we arc tired of long lanes enclosing uncultivated fields.— As we ride through the country we arc more and more iin pressed with the sparsenesa and thriftlcssness of our population. The country is rapidly returning to a waste. Miles upon miles without a snug house ora sign of settled active industry. The hire ling system is carrying all to destruc tion and even the negro will soon abandon the desert he lias created. The Local of the Columbus Times says: \V c are having glorious times in Columbus, leaving out the glory. No items. Not even a clog fight to disturb the deep serene. A man came up from Apalachicola, the dullest place in Christendom, to have a good time, but concluded to go back the day after arrival. Wise decision. The Griffin Herald of Saturday says: Samuel Clark, charged with the murder of Daniel Ivirbo, his fath er-in-law, was yesterday sentenced to ! be hung, by JI is Honor Judge Alex. M. Speer. The scene at the Court ! House is said to have been impressive |in the extreme. The prisoner heard, with apparent calmness, the solemn words condemning him to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. The sen tence is to be carried into execution on the 22d of March ensuing. Stkte Items- We learn from the Are/ns, that a railroad meeting was' held by the people of’ Decatur, at Cambridge, on Tuesday, * the 22d ultimo, at which ?30,000 were subscribed, and the In ferior Court recommended to sub scribe 850,000 more to the stock of the Atlantic ifc Gulf Railroad, on con dition of the completion of said roads to certain points within a given time. The City Council of Bainbridge are also represented as favoring the sub scription of 850,000 by the city, for tbe same purpose. These amounts foot up 8130,000, which, if obtained, will greatly facilitate the operations of the company. The Athens Danner states that planters from Southwest Georgia, and tlie West, are still gathering up freed iiren. Several gangs have left that place lately. In some cases white laborers have been employed. The Danner thinks many families who have emigrated to Texas and other Western States will repent the move, lt would have boon better for them to have remained in Georgia. The old Common wealth is still, and will con tinue to be, the Empire State of the South. 'There is an abundance of em ployment here for those willing to work. The Waynesboro’ Times says there can be no better time than now to urge our fanners the very great im portance of their planting a large corn crop. Let them make a sufficiency of cotton in order to bring greenbacks in tlio country, but let them not neg lect corn, oats, or anything adapted to our soil and climate that will aid in feeding the people and promoting the growth of domestic animals. The West Point Cbserver of yester day has the following additional in regard to the duel which occurred in that place on the preceding Saturday : “Quite a serious affair came off in our city on last Saturday morning, the 2d instant, in the way of a duel be tween Major Baker, of Lowndes coun ty, Alabama, and a Mr. Austell, of Mobile. The affair took place before the sun was fairly up. '[lie weapons used were the “Smith and Western Pistol,” at a distance of twenty feet. Major Baker was dangerously if not mortally wounded in thethi-w. by the second shot of Mr. AustejitiMK. The Romo Courier scarcity of lumber at that says : The demand is beyond tbe supply at this place, aIH this will probably be the case imtn more saw mills are sixteen dwellings, beside other buildings, have bee during past and, least many built in the next six, can be obtained. The present price is §l6 per 1,000. A Cros3 Woman.—The idea of a woman getting cross and ugly when things in a family do not run quite as smoothly ns they should, is simplyirdiculous, she makes her self an object ol contempt whenever she is guilty of such lionsence. The Almighty has created her for a purpose entirely different to this insane and foolish indulgence in angry passions, lie lias made her beauti ful and attractive in her person, endowed her with sensibilities.and refinements of mind aud manner which, when properly cultiva ted, lead to the elavation of the higher and holier feelings of nature. Think of a being thus constituted getting cross on every tri fling occasion, llow she insults her Creator and prostitutes those excellent qualities which the sterner sex do not possess, and which seem 1o be reserved by heaven for her alone. Think of this, fair women, whenever the devil tempts you to sin. A'ou "may be all in form and feature that is calcu lated to win the admiration of man, but a disposition to he surly and ill-natured robs you of your social and greatest charms. A woman with a mild and gentle disposition, an intelligent and perceptive mind and a fair form, is an ornament tc society. Motive of Giving. —Here is a lit tle fellow at the breakfast table. His father says: “John, you know your teacher tells you you must deny yourself in order to present an acceptable offering to the missionary cause: now, what do you think of doing?” “I have made up my mind, father; I wont eat salt mackeral for breakfast.” “1 am glad, my child, that you are willing to deny yourself anything for Jesus' sake. Why do you select that?” “Oh, father I am not at all fond of it, and it is very easy to give it up ; and be- j sides, we don’t very often liave it!” The children appreciate the illustration and smile. Oh, how many boys and j girls are very willing to give to Christ; what cost them nothing. But Christ is 1 not ready to accept such offerings. i But here is a little girl whose father , had promised her anew sled to slide ' down hill when the winter and the snew j have come. (She attends the missionary | meeting. Her heart is set on fire with love to the cause of missions as she hears of the great destitution in the land ; of the ninny little brothers and sisters who have never heard of Jesus. So she savs j to her father. “Fathen, it is not time for snow yet; will you give me the two dollars instead of the sled? I dont want the sled.” j “What! not want to slide down hill on the smooth white snow ?” “No, father, I want to give it to the missionary to buy hooks.” The blessed Saviour looks down on this act of selfdenial and says: “Alyl dear little daughter inasmuch as ye did | it unto these, ye did it unto Me ;” and He looks down on the mackeral boy, hut does not notice him, to commend him at all. \\ e must give up something that we love, for Christ’s sake, must deny our selves if wc want our gilts to be accepta ble.
