Mr. StillwKXs’ Rrasuonom Amid the
floodtide of radical resolutions, with wti h the
National Hon’e of Representatives has lately
been deluded, we were particularly struck by
the extreme cleverness of the one introduced
by a Mr. Stillwell of Indiana.
It wonid sppear that that honorable num
ber had devoted many weary hours, In trying
to fix upon some plan by means of which the
gr< at work of reconstruction might march
gloriously on to a happy finale.
Wc doubt not that the gentleman from In
diana, . pent many hours in expatiating, on
the honors of the past and the gloiies
of the future— while he measured himself and
studied the grace of his person and gestures,
in the fullVzo minor that adorns his ebam
ber.
Aye, more 1 in the anguish of bis spirit he
wept over his distracted country ; then, brush
ing away his tears he hastily indited a pream
ble and{r«iolution,ithe,burden of which is, that,
inasmuch as the war for the preservation of
the Union and tho Constitution is now over,
and its counterpart insurrectional rebellion
has been put dowu, and peace and Union ob
tained, the people who have been in rebellion
against the Government, and who have sub
mitted to tho laws of the United States, adopt
ed a republican form of repealed,
the ordinance of secession, passed the constitu
tional amendment forever abolishing slavery
repudiated the rebel debt and pasaod laws
protecting the freedmen in his liberty, their
representatives having been elected and com
missioned to Congress, should be received as
members of the “Thirty ninth Congress,
“when they shall take tho oath prescribed by
“that body known as tho teat oath.”
Nov/ is not that very clever, in Mr. b'till
well '(
There is an old adage, which says : “There
is nothing new under tho sun,” but we ; dine
to the opinion that Mr. Stillwell's conception
will almost invalidate it.
“'lake ibo test oath and come in.” Hu
mane, bind, very considerate ! Indeed, wo
should take (.11 our hats aud bow veiy low,
Assuredly by a greater air of mystery, could
not havo encircled tho queer words of the
strange woman, of whom wo read in “Do-
Vane,” when she gays : “ Brave souls en
“ dure long. When storms pass by, the cloud
“ less heavens are bright, and tho earth re
joices once more!” thau that which en hrouds
the theory held by leading radicals, when they
contend that, whilst the legislation of the
States lately in arms against tho general Gov.
eminent is absolutely essential to tho recogni
tion of tho Constitutional amendment as a law
of the land, tin y must still be deprived of the
light of representation, because, foisooth, our
members elect cannot subscribe to an oath
that has not tho shadow of legality about it.
Verily war has woiked a metuiuorpkoris in
men, aud strange are the interpretations of
law !
Tim CoMi'itOMisH. —Washington letter writers
are very prolific of “plena of settlernent that
■will bo adopted in Congress.’* A correspon
dent of one of the Richmond papers is quite
sure that the breach in the Republican ranks
which is widening deeper day-by day, will be
settled upon anew plan just devised by the
leaders, lie says that early “on the re nssern
“bling.of Congress a joint resolution will bo
“iutn duced into Congress proposing to the
“Legislatures of tho several States an amend
“incut to the Constitution of the United States,
“making the number of voters instead of the
“population the basis of representation la the
“National Legislature. ’’
It is evident that the ollico holders in the
Republican ranks will preveut a split if possi
ble. 'i hey bavo no idea of giving up “the
loaves and li.-hes.” The spoils are too great
to be allowed to slip from their grasp. We,
therefore, think ere many days have passed
that tho negro suffrage hobby will be laid
aside for future use ; and the differences be
tween those who have heretofore worked to
gether for public plunder amicably arranged
upon some such plan as tho o spoken ol
abovo.
Injustice of course, will be done the South,
if any thing of tho kind is adopted. Any one
at a glance can see that its tendency
for years will bo to give the North the con
trolling influence in our Nutiour.l Halls of
Legislation. But such a plau is far better
than even the most conservative idea yet ad
vanced by Sumner or his radical compeers
Any settlement that is respectable or beara
ble, that will get us out ot their clutches und
permit us once more to get upon our feet, will
undoubtedly bo accepted by our people.
Tin: Phosi hot. —The position taken by Gen.
Tilson, the head of tho Freedman’s Bureau in
this Siaty, “if nogroe , will not make contracts
we will make contracts for them,” and what
is bettor, compel them to work, has had a
good effect. Those freedmon inclined to be
Idle, tluding out that they have got to work
any way, are looking around for something to
do. We hope after the time General Tilson
has named for them to find plases of employ
ment has expired, that ho will enforce his
order strictly. It will have a very beneficial
effect upon the class it is intended for. He
will be sustained in such a course by every
right thinking man.
We are iuformed that the planters generally
feel much more sanguine of being able to pro
dudb fair crops, than thejtjiid a few weeks ago,
and wo do most ardently hope they may not
be disappointed. Midsummer and early fall
will bring the test, and it is going to require
patience, foibearance, and ssuud discretion
and timely and judicious encouragement to
weather the summer solstice, when work
drives and the sun burns. We think the result
will be mixed. Probably a good many will
fail partially, and some altogether—so much
will depend on good management. If the
planters can raise half a crop they will pro
duce in Georgia a value this year somewhere
between fifty and a hundred millions of dol
lars currency, which will go far -to build up
the waste places,” and make a fast business.
FuKSi!>txT Johnson is Still very reticent upon
the subject of appointments. lie declines abso
lutely to appoint any person to office upon the
recommendation of a Congressman or Senator
who do« 6 not support his policy. He is fixed,
also, in his determination to pursue his re
construction policy to the end. Congress may
do its it pleases; he is determined that, so far as
in him lies, the Southern States shall be re
gardc-d as Slates lie will let them perform all
their local functions and elect their own ru.ers,
and the only drawback they will have is a
W rut of representation in Congress. If the
present Congress does not grant them this
President Johnson is sure that an appeal to
the people will elect a representative body that
will admit the Southern Congressmen.
Tub Stsumsi; Constitution.—The number of
lives lost by the wrecking ot the steamer
Constitution was forty.
DimcuLTias on m* Coast.— A letter from
Charleston say?, the difficulties between the
freedmen tnd the planters on the Islands along
the South Carolina coaEt still continues. A
party of old proprietors, accompanied Ey two
cf General sickles’ etatf officers, recently went
from Charleston to James Island for the pur
pose of having a conference with the negroes.
On approaching the Island in 'their boat, they
were confronted by about cixty armed negroes,
who would listen to no explanations, even
from the army officer/, but threatened to fire
on the first one of the party who stepped
ashore. Two regiments of regular troops w.re
afterwards sent to tho Island to keep the freed
men under better subjection.
Lawlessness is California.— Highway rob
bery has become of frcqnent occurrence in
California. Gangs of banditti roam the State
at pleasure. They defy the authorities, for
mounted on good horses that have been stolen
they swoop down on the highways, and ge
back to their mountain retreats before tbs cfli
oers can start after them. One of tho notori
ous desperadoes that has been in the .State
since the days of Joaquin, was recently killed
in San Bernardino county. He wa3 a bloody
monster, and had murdered a great many
men. A sheriff's po-so caught him by strate
gy, and dispatched him without any ceremony.

Great Reduction in Prices. O'Dowd &
Mulberin, No. 273 Broad street, announce thai
they will clean out their present stock of gro
ceries, boots, shoes, and hats at greaty reduced
prices. This firm has one of the largest stc«k3
on hand ever brought to this city. A most
complete assortment of everything in their
line, besides a great variety of other goods.—
There all were selected with great care by an
experienced buyer, expressly for this market.
In the stock is nothing but articles of the best
quality. They were purchased at jgreat bar
gains, and will be Bold at great bargains.—
Those in want are invited to call.
Sun ait Baisi.no in Lousiana.— The Lousiana
papers announco that the sugar plantations
of Lousiana bid fair to regain their forme 1
prosperity in a few years. All accounts go to
show that tho planters generally have an ardent
desire to commence repairing damages at once
where they have not already commenced, and
plant cane and corn to tho extent of their
ability. Confidence is now being restored as
rapidly as cou'd bo possibly expected. The
idea ia almost universally adopted , that sugar
growing will pay, even under the heavy disad
Vantages resulting from tho war. Money and
labor are needed, and money and labor the
planters are determined to have.
The History of Mexico shows that during
the last forty years, Mexico Las had thirty
ifeven diffarent forms of government, thirty
two of which were “ Republics,” and seventy
tivo Presidents. Its revolutions during that
time have amounted to over two hundred.—
Many years since a Mexican protectorate was
urged upon the United State3 Senate by Gen.
Houston, upon the ground that the Mexican
people otherwise would fall a piey to some
European power. The project was condemned
and abandoned. But perhaps in view of the
past and present it would have been well. It
certainly would have given the people a more
stable form of government than they have
had. Perhaps such a plan may yet be carried
out.
Tiie Manchester Cotton Surrey Associa
tion.—The Manchester Cotton Supply Acseoia
tion has issued an address in which they en
deavor to stimulate growers of cotton in all
sections to ondcavor to ccmpeto with the South
Johnny Ball will find, when matters got set
tled in this section, that cotton growers else
where will not raise much, and that he will,
after all, have to look for his supplies to that
part ol the world which his Extor Hall fanat
ics have so systematically endeavored to im
poverish. And what is more, Mr. Bull will
learn that the results of his Extar Hall teach
ings will cost him an extra penny, in the shape
of dear cottons for his manufactories.
Faiuiues at Chicago. —A letter from Chi
cago speaks of the financial affairs in that
city as “being tight.” Speculators in the
“staff of life” aro in hot water. The strin
gency of the money market and the rapid fall
in the prico of grain, has caused quite a num
ber of serious failures. There have been several
recently, mostly of those engaged in the com
mission business. Tho dry-goods men ara
heavily pressed, but, thus far’ have held out.
The grain speculators are having a hard time,
as the)' desqrve to have. If tho monetary
pressure continues, there b a crashing
among this class before Spring.
Cheering News from Niw Hampshire.—
Tho telegraph wires bring us cheeriug newt
from New Hampshire. Wo are informed of
the fact that the Republican Convention of
that State lias endorsed the President's recon
struction policy. Tnis certainly is good news.
It is to be hoped that the Republicans in other
States will follow the good example set them
The movement on the part of the New
llampshiro Repub Beaus should encourage us
'lt shows that tho o ntire North is not yet ready
to follow in the lead of Sumner, Colfax & Cos.,
In their insane folly and unjust oppression of
the South.
%Wiiat Ought not to be. —Crowds of Freed
man—idle vagrants—are tn the habit of throng
ing the thoioughfare, known as Bridge Row.
They collect together in the corners of Broad
and Centre streets, in such numbers, that
gentlemen find difficulty in elbowing their
way through, whilst ladies are compelled
either to turu whence they came, or await the
coming of someone, who will make the ne
groes give way. This conduct may Dot be
u'entional on the part of the freedmen, but it
is extremely discourtious and out of place.
Tna Acts of tub Freedman’s Pretended
Friends. —A joint resolution has passed the
Indiana Legislature requiring the Governor,
or his substitute, to enforce the thirteenth ar
ticle of the Constitution prohibiting the immi
gratioa of negroes into the Shite, and author
izing him to cull upon the militia for the pur
pose, and holding him to fines, penalties and
imprisonments if he does not enforce the
law. Poor Sambo farts but illy among his
pretended friends.
Sumner and his Peaks.—lt will be seen by
j our telegraphic dispatches from Washington
that Sumner still keeps steadily at work at
the r.?gro. He is determined that the Country
shall have negro for breakfast, negro for din
ner and negro tor supper—with a little pican
may thrown in for a lunch. Sumner is ' death,
on the negro’’— and his'course thus far has
b een death to the negro.
-B f
Gen. Toombs—A gentleman in Columbus
■ Ga . has received a letter from Gen. Toombs.
llt was dated Hivanua. December 22. Tho
General was enjoying excellent health.
The Feeling in Washington. —As indicating
something of the lentiment ot Congressmen
upon the question of lecoustruction, it may le
mentioned that members of Congress have
subscribed up to this time forsoveateen thou
sand copies of Mr. Sumner’s late speech in
the Senate, and the subscription list 's about
closed ; whilst for Mr. Raymond’s speech they
have orders given‘or fifteen thousand copits
f.ir distribution, and the oiders are yet coming
in rapidly.
“Straws show which way the wind blows.”
This little thing, although not of much ac
count of itself, when taken into consideration
with other things which are daily transpir
ing in Washington, goes to indicate that a
majority of the members of Congress are fa
vorably inclined towards the South.
“That Sixteen Year Oid.” —If any one
has any doubts of the line flivor and excellent
qualities' of that sixteen year old whiskey at
Ramsey & Co’s, all they have to do is just to
try it. Their doubts would at once disappear,
Age has bad a mellowing influence upon it, and
in return it ha3 a mellowing influence upon
those who'imbibe it. Parties who are fond of
“hot whiskey” will find the eix'een year old
to be just the thing to preserve the lemons
Central Railroad Company —The following
gentlemen have been elected directors of the
Central Railroad & Banking Company for the
ensuing year. W. H. Johnson, John W. An
derson, Andrew Low, J. R. Wildor, George W.
Wylly, John Cunningham, J. J. Warring, W.

Tiie Lamar Trial.— l his trial is sti'l in pro

Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown. —The Atlanta
Intelligencer speaks thus of Ex'Governor
Brown. All the praise given in the article is
ricldy merrited by the gentlemen spoken of :
Ex Governor Joseph E. Brown. Among the
many valuable accessions to the ponulation of
our city, socially and otherwise, none gratifies
us more than that of the distinguished gentle
man whose name heads this article and his ec
tesmsd lady and family. Most heartily do we
bid them all welcome to Atlanta, their future
permanent residence. We do so, too, in the
name of iis citizens, who, like ourself, appre
ciate the public services of him, who for four
successive terms was elected by the people of
Georgia, their Chief Magistrate, and who served
them in that office with rare ability and a faith
(niness certainly not surpassed by any previous
Executive of our noble old State.
It is Governor Brown’s intention, we learn,
to retire from political life, and pursue the
practice ot law—a field in which, ere he was
promoted to the bench, he had won reputation,
aud while on it distinction as a jurist. He will
soon, wi understand, open a law office in this
city, and we doubt not will succeed, in the
practice of his profafsion, ia receiving a por
tion, at least., cf that which the war has de
prived him of, end which he had labored to
attain in his early profossiohal career. Success
attend him in his vocation.

quote to-day as foliowa : ordinary nominal
low middling 45a40 ; middling 4Ja4B ; strict
middling 49 ; good middling 50.
The above are the quotations at which cot

The receipts since the 29th ult., have been as
follows : 5,989 bales of upland, 307 sea island
cotton, and. the exports during the same
period have been 3.943 bales upland, and 134
sea island—leaving on hand and on ship
board, not cleared, a stock of 13,646 bales up
land, and 1,375 sea island. Tho Savannah,
Ocmulgee and ?Altamaha rivers are in good
boating condition, and the reeeipts-of the week
were in excess of the previous week, 1,432 up
land and 132 sea island.
Sea Island —There has been a slight de
mand during the week at rates lrom 90c, to
$1 25, principally, these quotations being for

New York (Financial Market—Jan. 2.
The Commercial says the statement of the
associated banks exhibits some very important
fluctuations in favor of the continuance of case
in money. The deposits show an increase of
$6,021.991, and the circulation an increase of
$316,664. The loans have increased $873,496.
The legal tender line exhibits an_ altogether
exceptional increase of $17,240,476, .arising
from banks having adopted a uniform use of
it, including United States Clearing House cer
tificates with their legal tender returns in ac
cordance with a resolution adopted at a meet
ing of the Association, December 27.
The deviations of the returns of the New
York city banks this week, ending December
30, 1865, from returns of previous week :
Loans increase $873,696, specie decrease $723,-
268, circulation increase $361,564; deposits in
crease $6,021,991, legal tenders $17,243,426.
The new year opens with a generally buoy
ant feeling in the stock market. There ap
pears to be a very strong disposition to en
gage in speculations for a rise; at present
speculation is confined chiefly to Uric.—
There is a considerable amount of paper of
fered, and 7a9 per cent is paid lor prime bills;
the rate for lower grades, is generally 10al5
The interest account from the sub Treasury
has uot affected the market, the eft.ct having
been anticipated.
