THE UNION Official Paper of the United States. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA. / oFFii iA l m ri:i; o r jinw <o. Official Paper of the City of Macon, MACON, GA., MAY 11, 1871. Mr. Hunter,; a prominent lawyer and most CHtinable citizen of Macon died very suddenly last Saturday. His ailment, wo are informed, was infiamation of the bowels. “PUT ME IN MY LITTLE SHELL " So should sing the Middle Georgian, a pa per which commands respect' bv its appear ance, if nothing'else. It is like a common land turtle: when it sees some one ap proaching, it draws in its nose and shuts up its shell, until it is . left alone, when it gradually opens out, and waddles on. The Georgian is one of those which says things blindly, without sense or system, and refuses to listen to a respectful remon strance. It, turns a deaf ear to reason and to argument, and wallows on in its narrow rut of presumptions, and ignorant assump tion. , # \Last week we paid it the compliment of a fair and candid review of an article con tained in its columns, which common cour tesy, if nothing else, demanded an acknowl edgment of; but, like the turtle, it closed its eyes aud pretended not to see it. Such actions do us no barn), nor do we care a straw for them, for we have long since be come used to the presumptive rebuffs of id iots. We do not intend to allow our ob ject iu lifo to be thus defeated. It’ the Georgian, or anybody else, ignores our argu ments, they are arguments nevertheless, and go before, perhaps, ten times as many read ers as does the warped and one-sided re -marks carried by such vehicles as the Geor gian. We give both arguments so that readers may come to an intelligent conclu sion; whereas, the Georgian and its confre res, dare not let ours, go before their blind ed followers for fear that their eves may be . opened and the frauds they are perpetrat ing be discovered. In pursuance of our usual course, we feel called upon to again copy an article from the Georgian, and show up its falsity, and its palpable design to lead the people astray, instead of trying to pour oil on the troub led waters. We ask our readers to give these rebellious sentiments due reflection] and then determine whether common cour-j tesy could be expected from such a source: “TAXATION. “What has the last Congress done? Has it done anything that would distinguish any like botvy of lawmakers for wisdom, generosity, or disinterested patriotism?— The majority, who constitute the Radical party, had a wonderful Kilkenny tight over San ■ Domingo, part of an island away in the Torrid Zone, and another, in wi ieh as a matter of course they were more harmo nious. over the Ku-Klux bill and which has' become a law. This is designed and inten ded not only to operate injuriously upon the Southern people, but to perpetuate the power of the Radical party—a party cor rupt and revolutionary in all its tendencies I —a party who by design or ignorance in-! tend to overthrow the liberty of the people. j They have ignored the'burdens under which j the people groan, and nothing was done to restore peace.to the land by amnesty, or relieve the people of the load of taxation which hangs like an incubus upon their en ergies and industry. Neither have the en ormous expenditures of every department of the government been reduced. “All these things are nothing compared to the existence of a party, who have de bauched the public morals by bribery and corruption to an alarming extent. An ar my of tax-gatherers cover the land who in solently demand the pound of flesh, or the bottom dollar. All show that the govern ment must be supported, and none are more ready and willing to aid in doing this than the Southern people. But they are not willing to aid in meeting the craving de mands of cormorants who live on plunder. When they see that they are paying taxes on every article of clothing they wear, on every tool or farming utensil they use, on every book or newspaper they read, on ev-.j cry blanket on their beds or carpet on their j floors, (if they are able to have the last j mentioned at all), and on almost everything i tyiey eat; and this too pot for the support j Os the government, but for the benefit of a I few favored manufacturers, then they think it is full time to call the to ac count for their conduct. * “According to a calculation' of Hon. S. S. Marshall, one of the strongest advocates of free trade from the West, for every dollar we spend on cotton fabrics we pay to the government for its support 3 1-2 cts., but to the monopolists for each dollar consumed 30 cts.; for every dollar spent on woolens, we pay the government 10 cts. and the mo nopolists (H> cts.; and for every dollar laid out in refined iron, we pay the government 5 cts. and the monopolists 52 cts. Now, this speech was made at the last Session of Congress in the hearing of the Radicals; we have no doubt of its correctness, and yet these abuses were not remedied, because the law whs not touched on account of the fact that the attention of members was ab sorbed by San Domingo and the Ko-Klnx bill. j * “Now every man who bnyscotton fabrics, wollens and refined iron, knows how much he is filched in behalf of a favored few.— For three dollars spent on these articles — one dollar on each—he gives to monopolies 1 nearly one-half, viz: $1 T 2. This is a beau-] tifnl way in which the money goes to en- , rich a few at the expense of the many. “No wonder there are more millionaires at the North than in any other part of our country. No matter who are poor, if they are rich and bloated with wealth. “This is what is meant by protection of which we have heard so much of ever since 1816. And is this to be the settled policy of the country for all time to come ? If the Radicals remain in power, we have no doubt of it. It is their intention to enslave thfi people under the pretext of Ku-Klux ism. The farming class—by far the largest ; —who need protection as much ns any otli- j er are to* be made liewers of wood and drawers of water for all time to favbr a few who become rich at their expense. Our only safety against such unjust and unequal: laws as well as against imperialism, which means the overthrow xl the government, lies in tho downfall of the Radical party.” It may be true that Congress lias not “done anything that would distinguish it for wisdom, generosity or disinterested pa triotism.” We are rather inclined to think it lias not; but it is because its patriotism has to some extent been displaced by the adruissiou into its body of men whose, pa triotism is alone for the “Lost Cause.” — Did Congress act upon impulses inspired by i patriotism for the Governmet, it seems to us but reasonable that it should come to the relief of its friepds, and punish its en emies. But who can claim that such has ] been the case ? Taxation is complained of. Who was it that-made the present system and fate of taxation necessary? And now, that the I Georgian and its friends have plunged the i country into an exliorbitant indebtedness, lit complains of the burthen, borne equally i with those upon whom it has been thrust in spite of their loyalty and their adhesion lto tho government. This idea again expos |es the narrow, selfish, dishonest spirit | which prompts such grumbling,' aud more than ever satisfies ns that to expect courte sy from such a source, would be equal to expecting to dip the crystal waters of puri ty from a cess-pool.. The statement that the expenses of the government have not been reduced is a fla grant, wilful falsehood, as any reader of na honest rebel paper well knows. The ex penditures in nearly every department have been largely decreased, and arq, continually being decreased. The special taxes have been abolished with the exception of those upon whisky and [tobacco, and in addition to the reduction of taxes, the debt of the country has been reduced, under the dread ful rule of the Radical party, since March, 1869, considerably more than $200,000,000. Yet, notwithstanding this historical fact, this little whipperdn, published at Griffin, asserts that these things have not been done... The Georgian says that “none are moke ready and willing to aid” in the support of the government than the “Southern peo ple.” This assertion will admit of construc tion, as there is a division as to who lire “the people.” Persons aud papers of jthe class of the Georgian uniformly contend that the whites of the South who still main tain their rebellions disposition towards the government, are the only ones entitled to ■, be called “the people.” If that position is the true one, theif the assertion of the [ Georgian is the most transparent falsehood. ]lf that class aid in the support of the gov ernment willingly, in wliat particular do ; they show it ? Do they speak favorably, or even kindly of the government ? Do they respect its agents except from fear? Do they exhibit aud admire the country’s ban ner on all proper occasions? Ready! and willing! Eh ? A most inglorious attempt is made to | throw sand the eyes of the readers' of J the Georgian by a blundering attempt at an i argument in favor of free trade, in tbe I course of which it isstated that the people j are required to pay taxes on various articles, and among them, newspapers. What more tax do the people of Griffin pay for the Georgian, than they paid for the Southern Democrat under the administration of James Buchanan ? On other articles the price may be higher now than then, but we are naturally led to inquire how this came about, and trace it readily to the votes of “the people of the South,” and their usurpations in 1861; but to offset these prices, the pro ducts of the country are held at much higher prices. Mr. Marshall, or anybody else, can figure,up the advantages of free trade, and may deceive some people who refuse to learn anything by experience; but an enlightened people, such as constitute the population of the United States, will ' never submit to a measure that will retra ; grade them in their glorious career. This : country is made up of too great a mass of j laboring -people, with votes in their hands, ; competent to prevent the aristocracy from making paupers or menials of them. Free trade means to throw open European pau per workhouses iu competition with the American mechanic. It means to close np our local manufacturing interests. It mean s to supply us With every article we want cheaper than we can produce it at our own doors, unless our mechanics and laborers will work at prices upon which no man can live and be arnan. Children of poor men must be put at labor at eight years of age, to obtain bread. Wives must be servants or factory women to help make np the pit tance upon which they are compelled to support their families. This is competition under Free Trade.

Does the Georgian advocate the “Commu nity System,” where every maivis an equai owner, independent of his abilities or. his capital ? If there are more millionares at! the North than at the South, it has only re cently been admitted,* for that used to be claimed for Southern gentlemen. If it is true, that there are more at the North than*; at the South, whose fault is it ? Do not the Southern people have the same opportuni ties, and only the same restrictions that ap ply to Northern people ? If the Souther© people prefer indolence, encourage a con tempt for labor, and advocate brigandage, they should not grumble at the thrift of in dustry, economy and virtue, and lay the blame at the door of a political principle, the rudiments of which they have never learned. The closing paragraph of the Georgian's article, we leave to answer for itself. The man or woman of intelligence, who will read it without grinning at its ludicrous ness, will have better control of their facial muscles, or less of their humorous faculties than we have. POOR FRANCE. For some time it may be expected by those who feel an interest in the future of France that, in the words of Cato, shadows, clouds,! and darkness will rest upon it. M. Thiers, it must be confessed, has shown himself une qual to the great responsibility which was thrown upon him at the time when the Ger man conquerors permitted the National As sembly to be elected. His retreat with that body to Versailles, though rendered neces sary by the action of the counter-revolution ist in Paris, destroyed his prestige. Even the fortifications of Paris, hi3 own work thirty years ago, have turned out to be a failure—it might be added, like himself. They were inadequate to protect Paris from foreign besiegers, and they are equally un able to guard the city against internal riot. They look formidable enough, in that, re sembling tbe author of “The Consulate and the Empire,” but are found to be inefficient in the hour of need. There is an uncertainly about M. Thiers’ politics •which is very much against him. Starting as a strong republican, he became such a decided Orleanist after 1830 that the doors of official station flew open to him, and he was Prime Minister twice daring Louis Philippe’s reign. After 1848 he again manifested republican tendencies; was j one of the arrested on December 2, 1851 ;< found an asylum in Switzerland, where fie! completed his Napoleonic; history, and thereby significantly intimated to the neph ew of his hero that, if an experienced Cab inet Minister were needed under the re stored Empire, Barkis was remarkably wil ling. :i M. Louis Napoleon had an idea that he wonld be his own Prime Minister, and M. Thiers also had an idea that, once in tbe Imperial Cabinet, he, and not the son of Hew tenstj Beauharnais, should govern France. These rival ideas being incompatible, all | that Could happen was thajt one of the great men should go to the wall; and so, during the seventeen years and tep months of Lou is Napoleon’s reign, M. Thiers never was placed in office. On the fall of the Empire, last September, he turned up again, and as was to be expected—for he is a man. of abil ity, experience, authorship, and eloquence —M. Thiers became a power in France; be came nominal head of the new Republic. At tliis moment, however, his power is in considerable. It is reported that Germany will inter pose, and will endeavor, with the strong; hand, to settle matters in Paris—probably j "by restoring the Regency, with the Empress Eugenie at its head. It is doubtful whether that lady, who has born her reverses ex tremely well, would reassume such a peril- 1 ious position. It may bo questioned, too, | whether her husband, if it were offered: I him, would return to tile Tuileries. He j j has failed, and failure is a crime in France, j In December, 1851, when |his coup d'etat j j took place, lie became popular because lie ■ I was successful. His life, were lie replaced |on the throne of France,would not be worth ; I ten days’ purchase in Paris. Some believe that Adolphe Thiers, hav- ! ing a remarkable historical example before his eyes, may play the part which General Monk played in England after the death of Oliver Cromwell, and effect a restoration, j This is possible, even not wholly improba- j j ble, bui—Who shall be restored ? | T iere are now at least three pretenders :to the throne of France. First, the Duke of Bordeaux, grandson of Charles X., whom the few adherents of the fallen Bourbon dynasty call Henri V., while he himself has j assumed the modest title of Count de jChambord; next, there is the Count de } Paris, eldest grandson of the Citizen-King, j Louis Philippe of Orleans; third, Louis | Bonaparte, who was Emperor of the French, |by popular election, from December 2, i 1851,until September 4, 1870, when he was j deposed by a popular vote in Paris, assisted by his captivity in Germany. The only .representative of the elder Bourbon branch is a gentleman of moderate abilities and re spectable character, now in his fifty-first year, and childless, after twenty-five years of matrimony. There are tico Orleans princes ready to reign in France, 1 if French men will have them. One is the Count de i Paris, the other his uncle, the de Nemours, j who has such a very good opinion of him self that he thinks his nephew ought to be nowhere in the game. As nobody seems disposed to place the nominal Henri V., on the throne, M. Thiers, if he will go in for a restoration, has but to choose au Orleans or a Bona parte. Having made his political reputa tion (and a fortune of 6,000,000 francs) in the service of Louis Philippe, and having been considerably snubbed, to say the’least jof it, by Napoleon 111., one would think that M. Thiers’ sympathies would be against the latter. Yet the current rumor in Paris and Versailles is that he is dis posed to have France governed, pro tern., under a regency of three—namely, himself, Marshal MacMahon, who shared Napo leon’s defeat and surrender at Sedan, and the Empress Eugenie! It was hoped that I Prince Bismark would baek up this last ! named project. All these speculations may be premature, but; it is well to be prepared for the future, because if is clear that France cannot, will not long submit to the political and social chaos which now pervades her capital and some of her great cities. Ere long, most prcjbably, some arrangement will be made in -the shape of a compromise.— Philadelphia Press, sth inst. v j(jgg- Here is a specimen of the open arnjied welcome that Northern people are given by a certain class in the South, who boast of their chivalry and their hospitality, and who are loud in their hypocritical pre tense that there is no proscription or preju dice towards Northerners. It is the lead ing editorial in the Warrenton 'Clipper of the 4th inst. : YANKEE PREJUDICE. There is roaming through the South at the present time, one Henry W. Raymond, a correspondent of the New York Times, in whose Yankee heart lurks the bitterest ha tred for every Southern enterprise in which !the thieving Yankee is not allowed to par ticipate. This roving “Bohemian” recently visited Augusta, and from the complimentary de scription he gave of the natural scenery wh(ich adorns Greene and other streets, of that fair city, and the vile slanders he ut ters against the Merchants, Hotels, etc., he certainly imagines that God is a Yankee, hence his laudation of shrubbery and igno rance of every thing evincing the genius and enterprise of the merchants and public men of Augusta. His opinion of Southern Hotels, general ly, is an evidence that he expected to be ‘•'dead headed” throughout the South, and his bare faced lies regarding the Planters’, and. slurs against the other hotels of Augus ta, is conclusive testimony that he was sad ly ! disappointed, and had to fork over his “four dollars a day,” which, to a Yankee liilfl Raymond, is equal to drawing eye teeth. Neither Goldstein, of the Planters’, or He witt, of the Gloke, are addicted to extend ing courtesies to representatives of such malignant and black hearted Northern Journals as the New York Times, hence the junior Raymond’s wail, and his inability to find a “first class” hotel in Augusta. - » Sgk.

We find our sentiments so exactly ex pressed by the Newnan Herald of the sth inst., relative to the State Road Lease, that we copy the article and endorse it: The following letter written by Joe Brown to certain members of the Legislature, and ; probably all of them, has called forth much | comment by the Press of the State. Here !is the letter: Western and Atlantic Railroad Cos., ) President’s Office, > Atlanta, Ga., March 26, 1871. ) Dear Sir :—As you are one of the guar dians of the public interest, and your posi- i tion will make it your duty to look into the : jj matters connected with the State’s interest relative to the Western and Atlantic. Rail road, I enclose you a free pass for the year 1871. and invite you to pass over the road j as often as you tliiuk proper, and will i thank you for any suggestions which you! jinny make at any time. It is the intention j 'of this company to comply with its contract 1 | with the public promptly and faithfully, j ; and to observe all its obligations in letter ! and spirit, and we desire to afford the rep- i j reseutatives of the people every facility nec- | j essarv to enable them to see that this is | : done. That I may know that this has ' reached yon, please acknowledge its receipt. Very respectfully, your obt. serv’t. . Joseph E. Brown. Joe Brown may have designed to bribe members of the Legislature by these ten- j ders of free passages, as thought by some, but we don’t believe it. While we are not an admirer of the ex-Governor, yet we have at all times given him credit for the posses sion of shrewdness and an extraordinary amount of common sense, and hence can not conclude that he would be guilty of en tertaining a thought so silly as that a mem ber of the Legislature of Georgia could be bribed into silence by the small favor of a free pass. In brief, we think Joe Brown has faith in the fairness and legality of his lease, and is willing for the question to be examined in all its phases, and hence meant what he said in his letter. We know nothing of the circumstances attending the leasing of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, except what has been published in the Atlanta Constitution, and we have been unable to discover anything fraudulent or illegal in the leasing. We however, wish the affair probed to the bot tom to ascertain if there has been fraud committed or favoritism shown, and if yea, we shall clamor for the application of the proper remedy. Under no circumstances/ however, can we ever favor any measure which will place the road again under the control of the Executives of Georgia and their political favorites. We may have placed an inproper construction on the let ter of the Ex-Governor, but we shall not believe it until the contrary appears. We are loth to think evil, when it is as reason able to think well, of the motives of others. jj£g“ Every utterance in favor of their peculiar theory, from any source whatsoever, is now being seized upon by the State’- rights Democracy as confirmation of their dogma that this is a confederation of States, and not a union of a people. A recent de cision of the Supreme Court that the Uni ted States has not the power to tax the sal ary or income of a State judge has given great satisfaction to these recklesss stick lers after State sovereignty. One declar tiou, that of Judge Clifford, that the States exeisted as independent sovereignties be fore the Union was formed, and hence that the Union was their creation and derived its power from them, is particularly pleas ing. That this inference is a wrong one is proved by all records. In forming the Federal Constitution the States were in a great measure lost sight of and the people alone considered. From them all the pow er was derived, and in them alone it exists. The abstract question of the constitutional ity of the income tax as applied to State officers may be right as decided by the Su preme Court, but when it comes to whether this is a confederation of independent sovereignties, as determined by at least a portion of that tribunal, there will be a very wide difference of opinion, and we in cline to the belief that the men who hold such views aro just as much nulifiers, and secessionists as Calhoun or Davis.—Phila delphia Press. jjgy* Some people have strange notions. The Middle Georgian of the sth inst., prints an article under the head of “Our Foreign Trade,” in which it finds much fault with the Government, without suggesting a plan for relief. As usual, it whines about want ing “peace” and “prosperity,” “equal laws for the whole country,” &c., and ends by saying that the South furnishes the greater amount of exports, and insinuates that the South should be favored in some way or other so repay her for the excess which is claimed for her exports. Is that the way to have peace and sectional equality ? Is the South, as of yore, to be petted and humored in all her unreasonable and never ending wants by the great independent and self-re liant North ? If the South is really so im portant to the commerce of the Nation, why does she not assert herself, and by the common laws of trade, compel obedience to her demands? No; all such grumbling re sults from an indisposition to admit the fact that, although the South has natural ad van l tages possessed by no other portion of the world, her people are too indolent, as a mass, to make the most of her resources, and to compensate this reality, they sit down and curse and abuse the North be cause she is not equally indolent. f&r Mark Twain thinks that soda water is not reliable for a steady drink. It is too gassy. The next morning after drinking thirty-eight bottles he found himself full of gas and tight as a balloon. He had not an article of clothing that he could wear except his umbrella.— Exchange.
