We are informed that a colored man was
arrested a few days ago for. drunkenness, and ta
ken to the guard-house, when two or three police
men set upon him with their clubs and beat him
nearly to death.
t®" Monday, the 24th, was a warm day in Ma
con. The thermometer stood at 62 ° in the shade,
and the old Bear in the yard in the rear of the Union
office, sought the shade to escape the uncomforta
ble warmth of the sun. We noticed cattle, too,
lying and standing in the shade.
ZW Some days ago a lady' appeared on the
streets beastly drunk. The Telegraph said she was
a “nymph du, pave," and that she was taken to the
guard-house. We have failed to hear of her case
coming before His Honor. Perhaps she was a
pet of some of the city officials who control the
keys of the guard-hous
“The Clock in tiie Steeple.”—We notice
that workmen have taken down the dials of the
Clock in the Presbyterian Church Steeple for the
purpose of rejuvenating them. They needed it
bad enough, dear knows. The points on the faces
were entirely obliterated by lapse of time and the
weather, and the figures were scarcely distinguish
able to good eyes at short range. While the spirit
of improvement possesses those who have the
matter in hand, they should extend their rejuve
nating process to a coat or two of paint for the
whole steeple.

jjpSjT 3 The authoriteis seem to have a
standard, over which colored people must
not venture in the matter of money. A
woman was found by them, who had live
hundred dollars in greenbacks, and they
forthwith arrested her and put her in the
guard-house. The lawyers and police and
guard-house keepers are now fixing up
tricks to change the money from her pos
session to theirs. Colored people who
have live hundred dollars had better not
show it in Macon.
SUBJECTS OF THE AMNESTY PROCLA
MATION.
The reader can form some idea of the
friends and associates whom A. Johnson
has recently made the attempt to return
to all the rights of citizenship in the rebel
States, if he remembers that the atrocious
scoundrel, Winder, who is gibbeted in the
statement hereto annexed, is one of them.
We quote from an account of Auderson
ville, written by a surgeon in the rebel
army:
“To complete his precautions for the safe keeping
of his charge, or to quell any disposition to revolt,
he had placed, through Gen. Winder’s orders, a
battery of six pieces of aitiUory, which command
ed the whole interior of the prison, and which was
kept charged with grape and canister, ready for
instant service. The orders to the officer in com
mand were to “sweep the stockade” if there was
any appearance of mutiny, or any unusual crowti
ing together of its inmates.
TTie artillerists were on duty at night as well as
in the day, and were relieved at their guns as reg
ularly as were the customary sentinels on guard.
The position of the battery upon a hill and over
looking the prison, while it commanded its whole
interior, was such that, if the order had ever been
given to fire, its hurling grape would have borne
death and desolation to many thousands.
“When General Kilpatrick, of the Union army,
was excepted to advance in his ride as far as An
dersonville, the following order was issued:
“orders no. 13.
“Headquarters Confederate States 1
Military Prison, [-
Andersonvile, July 27,1864. )
“The officer on duty and in charge of the battery
of “Florida Artillery” at the time will, upon re
ceiving notice that the enemy have approached
within seven miles of this post, open fire upon the
stockade, with graposhot, without reference to the
situation beyond these lines of defense.
“It is better that the last Federal be extermina
ted than be permitted to burn and pillage the prop
erty of loyal citizens, as they will do if allowed to
make their escape from the prison.
“By order of John H. Winder, Brigadier Gen
eral. W. S. WINDER,
Assistant Adjutant General.
“Upon the promulgation of this sanguinary and
barbarous order, a citizen of Sumpter county and
a rich secessionist, who happened to be with the
militia force called out by the Governor of Geor
gia for the defence of Andersonville, remonstrated
with General Winder against its inhumanity. The
reply was: ‘Sir, I will kill the last d—d Yankee
in that stockade before Sherman or Kilpatrick
shall release them ! God d —n my soul if I would
not rather see those twenty thousand scoundrels
blown to hell than go to Heaven myself!’ ”

commend it to the careful study of every

OUR WASHINGTON" LETTER.
The Georgia Report of the
Judiciary Committee —Ihe Tone and Temper of
the dominant party—Southern affairs well under
stood, in Congress.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 25,1869.
The Rubicon has been passed, so far as the State
of Georgia is concerned, successfully, denying the
right of Mr. Hill, Senator elect to take a seat in the
Senate, is but an exposition of the real temper of a
majority of the United States Senate—indeed of
the controlling element in the dominant party to
day. This report, bear in mind, is the result of
no hasty action, but the deliberate conclusion
reached by a majority of the Committee, after
weeks of patient investigation, during which time,
the condition of affairs in your State have been
thoroughly investigated, and are consequently
thoroughly understood. As you will see by the
material points herewith furnished, the difficulties
in your State are well understood, and the adop
tion of the report—which is a foregone conclusion,
will prove this to be the case. The report has been
delayed to enable the Committee to obtain all the
facts bearing upon the case, and consequently is
entitled to more consideration than if the investi
gation had been made hastily. In pursuing the
investigation, the Committee feel indebted to many
loyal Georgians, but especially do they commend
the course of Hon. Foster Blodgett of Augusta,
who lias been untiring, in season and out of sea
son, to furnish the Committee with all the infor
mation they desired, to enable them to arrive at a
correct conclusion. When the Judiciary Com
mittee was called to-day, there was profound si
lence, because it was understood that the report
referred to would be made. After the presentation
of the report, Senator Trumbull of the Committee,
made a few remarks in opposition, but made no
impression upon the Senate.
The majority of the Committee say that the cre
dentials of Mr. Hill arc in the usual form, and if
the State of Georgia is entitled to Representation
in Congress, he ought to be permitted to take his
seat, and proceed to say: “From the fact of the
reference, your Committee feel called upon to go
behind the credentials to ascertain if any reasons
exist why Mr. Hill should not be admitted to the
Senate.” The Committee then recount the acts of
Congress, proceedings of the Georgia Legislature
and the testimony brought before them, and con
clude a somewhat lengthy report as follows :
“The right of Mr. Hill* to a seat in the Senate de
pends upon these important considerations:
“First, Did the Legislature, regularly organized,
duly ratify the 14tli Amendment, and comply with
the various conditions imposed by the Acts of June
1868 ?
“Second, Have the Legislature and the people of
Georgia, subsequent to such compliance with said
Acts of Congress, committed such acts of ususpa
tion and outrage as to place the State in a condi
tion unfit to be represented in Congress?
“Third, Whether in the whole case, taking the
action of Georgia, both before and since the pre
tended ratification of the 14th Amendment, a civil
government has been established in that State,
which Congress ought to recognize.”
After referring to the laws, power and facts
bearing upon the case, the report concludes as fol
lows :
“Your Committee are of opinion that under the
Constitution of Georgia, there is no distinction in
the right to hold office on account of race or color,
and they are quite confident that such was the
opinion of Congress at the time it approved that
Constitution.
“ This act of injustice and oppression denied the
right of representation to a whole iace constitut
ing nearly one half of the people of Georgia. It
will not be contended that there is no power in
the government to restrain in some form an out
rage of this character. It certainly furnishes a
strong reason why Congress should not, at this
time, overlook the irregularities in the organization
of the legislature of Georgia and admit her Sena
tos; and this is not all: Your Committee have
examined the official reports of the various officers
connected with the Freedmen’s Bureau in Georgia,
and fiud reported 336 cases of murder and assaults
with intent to murder, upon colored persons by the
whites, from January, 1868, to November 15 of the
same year. In all of which there has been no legal
redress, and scaicely any effort whatever on the
part of the authorities to punish the criminals, and
it is stated by these officers that they are unable to
report fully as to the number and character of
these outrages, on account of the intimidation of
witnesses which is practiced by the perpetrators
of crime.
“Your Committee have no source of official in
formation as to outrages committed upon loyal
whites, but it is reported by various and numerously
signed petitions and memorials from the loyal peo
ple of Georgia, that they are constantly exposed
to violence, and are without protection of law. It
is a matter of public notoriety, that loyal white
men arc persecuted and driven from their homes.
Several members of the Legislature, have been
compelled to take refuge at the Capitol of the
State, where the National troops are stationed, to
avoid the violence of the enemies of the United
States. The unlawful and vindictive conduct of
the Legislature, tends to confirm these statements
and reports, and excludes all hope that the new
civil government will afford adequate protection
to life and property. Since the withdrawal of the
military, crime has greatly increased, while punish
ment for crime, has diminished. Wherefore, your
committee feel called upon to recommend that Mr.
Hill be not allowed to take his seat in the Senate
for the reason that Georgia is not entitled to rep
resentation in Congress.”'
I have thus given you the conclusions of the
Committee. They are specially important as in
dicating the line of the dominant party North to
day. While anxious to do everything in their pow
er, for restoration of peace and harmony, they are
equally anxious to secure the future. This they
believe can only be done by strengthening the
hands of Southern Union Men.
In this connection, it may be mentioned, as a
significant fact, that all of the newly elected Sena
tors, belong to that portion of the Republican par
ty specially designated as Radicals; that the Con
servative movement in Virginia, and elsewhere
South, is well understood in the National Capitol.
More than all else; the report of the Judiciary
Committee, indicates the course that will be pur
sued toward Texas, Mississippi, Virginia and oth
er States, where there is a conflict between the rec
cognized loyal and disloyal element.

BY HARRISON BERRY,
A Colored Man.
WHEN Ariel was sent out from tlie press to
convince the world that the Negro was a
Beast, and deserved no better estate than to be a
slave, all the slave-driving world seized it, and
consoled their lacerated consciences with this ar
gument that Negro slavery was right.
But now comes its refutation. This reply by
Mr. Berry, is one of the most forcible and conclu
sive arguments ever contained in the same number
of pages.
Every colored man should have a copy of this

to listen to truth. None should fail to read this
