LARGEST DAILY CIRCULATION
EVEN HIIKNK THAN TUB CIVIL
HICIIIs
When the Civil llitfhta bill i>UH.sod
the Houßft everybody was Indignant,
and when they learn that it hu now
panned both houses of Congress, and
la only awaiting the signature of the
President before it boeornes a law,
they will be still more so; but their
indignation and resentment will be
overwhelming now that the addition
al outrage of the Foree bill has been
put upon them. In tho name of high
Heaven, what next?
There are but few of our jieople
who fully eomprehond the effect of
this Foree bill. It is a bill that orig
inated out of tho slime and tilth of
the Radical euueus, and provides the
severest and most extreme punish
ment for the slightest offences against
any of the “wards of the nation."
The originul bill provided that the
President should huve the power to
susi>end the writ, of habeas corpus in
any of the States lately In rebellion.
Tho bill us passed affects all the
Southern States alike, except in tho
section giving tho President tho pow
er to suspend the habeas corpus, the
IK)wer is eonllued to the States of
Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and
Alabama. In any of these four States
for the next two years the President
can and will suspend the writ.
This Is in substance the provisions
of tills venomous bill. The last ves
tige of rights left to these Staten lias
been taken away the right to have
a hearing. Now that Oils Is denied
them, they can bo kopt by the mili
tary In dungeons until the expiration
of the two yoars, or until it suits tho
wishes of Grant and his cowardly
minions. Now tho full hand of the
Administration is exposed, and it no
longer remains a question as to the
motive of such legislation. It is tho
fixed and determined plan of the
North to keep the South unsettled In
order to revive the war issues at the
North, and with this infamous hill
they propose to harass tho people of
the South into making a disturbance,
so that they can cry out “murders in
the South, and rebellion on her bor
ders !”
All this kind of oppression hue
lieen brought about by the carpet
baggers and eorresiKindentsof North
ern papers. We have been slandered
day after day, and extracts have been
republished at the North written by
the Northern men who have enjoyed
our confidence und support, and now
we feel their sting. Maybe we are
“uncivilized” und “murderers”in the
eyes of some, hut if ever a people
liad the right to become reckless and
stubborn, such measures as this Force
bill Is a sufficient excuse, and to such
frequent and uncalled for attacks on
the South wo are indebted for this
last piece of oppression. The jieople
of each State in the South will soon
learn those who have furnished the
dagger with which to make the un
manly stabs that have been made
upon their fair escutcheons, and then
their masks will be torn from their
faces, and their true characters re
vealed to the scrutiny of an outraged,
slandered and übused people.
The Centennial Humbug.
In about another year the nation is
to huve a Centennial celebration,
which of course can only be a farce
and a humbug. The idea of a Cen
tennial celebration, that we may
boast of our glorious Union to the
world as having lived one century,
when the structure of our govern
ment is rotten from base to dome.
Grant uud his allies getting up a cel
ebration with great eclat, and with
the foot of the oppressor on the nook
of Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkan
sas, three of the proudest States in
America, und either one containing
more patriotism, virtue and intelli
gence than the radicalism of the
North combined.
Tho pious and truly loyul Pennsyl
vanians of course have no interest In
tho matter, further than an attempt
to 1111 their pockets with filthy lucre
by its patriotic (?) observance. They
must be a little chagrined at tho utter
indifference ami contempt of the
South for this swindling affair.
There lias been a time in the histo
ry of the government when wo would
have grown sentimental and enthusi
astic over tho long life of the Union,
but now our smiles of joy would be
turned into weeping by the surround
ing scenes of our oppression and the
Union’s degradation. Our applause
would bo deafened by tho groans of
bleeding Louisiana, and our grutiti
catiou would bo marred by the fear
that Georgia would be the next vic
tim of Northern hate and fanaticism.
No, it is a mockery upon the Union
that Washington founded, and a libel
upon the declaration Jefferson
framed; so we cannot join them, and
it seems the balance of t he South are
of the same opinion.
Sueepiho Cab Risks.—ln tho Now
Marine Court, on Saturday, Judge
Jonchirasen, in the case of Polweter
vs. the Central Sleeping Car Com
pany, decided that the oouiainy is
bound to have care that a passenger
is protected in his person and in tho
property about his person during his
sleep. The company sells a passen
ger something more than the use of a
mattress, etc.; they soli the protec
tion of a conductor and porters, and
by this hitter act indicate their re- j
sponsibillty to keep away depredat-;
ore upon the person and property of
the passengers.
An eminent foreign doctor asserts
that the drinking of coffee invigor
ates and preserves the sight, and so
prevents the use of spectacles. Choc
olate is considered injurious.
Ol II ATLANTA LETTER,
Special CoryPpaSkc* D,u.T Tme.)
Atlanta, Fob. 28, l7r>.
Tiii* will probably be my last, epis
tlo to you during the stay of the Leg
islature; for, at last, that body is
about to adjourn and go home whore
they should have been for tho last
forty days. But they have done all
the harm to the State they can possi
bly do, and it is now generally con
sidered that they have spoken more,
and accomplished loss, than any
other previous Legislature, or than
any subsequent Legislature will ever
do. In making this remark, howev
er, I want myself understood by you
and your readers as not intending to
cast any reflection upon the members
individually, and more especially as
not censuring a number of Intelligent
and upright men who partly compose
that body, and who have exerted all
their influence und energies to ac
complish good to the State.
The Finance Committee tackled
Jack Jones’ account with tho Treasu
ry and made a great fuss, but it turn
ed out all feathers; and on Monday,
when the Legislature adjourns, Jones
will be os clear of any stain upon his
character as either of that grand
committee who arraigned him for im
peachment, and who'flnally were sat
isfied to pass a vote of censure on his
system of book-keeping. There were
men on that committee who would
not know a “ledger” from a “jour
nal,” and who were otherwise thor
oughly incompetent to judge of book
keeping. Jones lias cleaned out the
entire committee, and is now cock of
the walk. The people up here, and
all that stopped here during the in
vestigation, were on the side of
"honest Jack Jones.”
Tho bill to change the charter of
Columbus, as you have seen by the
dispatches, wus lost; so also tho bill
in the Interest of your .Sheriff. This
latter bill passed the House, but in
the Senate it met its death.
I have heretofore said but little in
praise of your immediate Representa
tives, for the reason that I thought it
was superfluous, but in this closing
letter I must be excused for congrat
ulating Muscogee county in the se
lection of their Representatives,
Messrs. W. F. Williams and T. W.
Grimes. Judge Williams is certainly
a man of large experience in legal
matters, and at all timesshowed him
self equal to the questions relating
to tho code. Mr. Grimes lias won
for himself and his county golden
opinions, and is looked upon by ids
associates as one of the rising men of
tlie State. In debato he has proved
himself the equal of many of the old
er giants of the House, and always
handled his subject in a concise and
masterly manner. Be it said to the
credit of both that they introduced
no bills calculated to encumber the
statute books, or to run the State to a
useless exjxmse by introducing cross
road measures.
B. H. Crawford, the Senator from
your district, was hero last term, and
his conduct here now has only en
hanced the respect he received from
the Senate for his ability as a finan
cier and jurist. If all the members
of the Legislature had been made of
such Representatives as was found in
your delegation, and those from Ma
con, Savannah and Augusta, the body
would not now be the laughing-stock
of the State.
The weather in these parts has
been fine for the past few days, but
Atlanta is in a slosh mud kuee-deep
in some places, and pools of water in
some of the streets.
The hotel business here has been
good, and I know they will look de
serted when the members, clerks and
lobby leave.
If the Legislature prolongs will
write yon again. Good-bye.
Occasional.
A “declaration,” signed by five
thousand clergymen nnd addressed
to the bishops of the Anglican Church,
has been published in London. This
has brought out the Ritualists, who
have obtained nearly fifteen hundred
signatures of clergymen to a "coun
ter-declaration” in favor of the use
of cuoharistlo vestments and a more
elaborate ceremonial. It is said that
the real battle of the two parties will
not be in convocation, but in Parlia
ment. On the 18th and 19th, Thurs
day and Friday of last week, a con
ference of the Low Church party was
called to meet in London.
The Advertiser has tho following:
“The latest accessions to tho Re
formed Episcopal Church include the
Rev. J. Howard Smith, late the rector
of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
Knoxville, Tenn.; the Rev. William
Bowen, Into the assistant clergyman
of the Protestant Epiaoopal Church
of St. Luke, Philadelphia; the Rev.
G. A. Riddles, late the rector of the
Protestant Episcopal Church at Mt.
Airy, Penn ; the Rev. Benj. Johnson,
tho rector of the Protestant Episco
l>al Church at Macon, Georgia, and
the Rev. E. H. Jenkins, of Pembroke,
Ontario, Canada.”
Errata.— ln our editorial in Sun
day’s paper are several mistakes, the
result of an accident. The most im
portant one, however, is the one in
which we wore made to say “our mer
chants are unable to supply, etc.,”
We wrote, and so intended, that our
merchants had bought at the very
lowest prices, and were able so supply
the wholesale trade of Columbus, and
adjacent counties. The word “lust”
was set up by the printer for the
word “taste.”
—. .
A recent decision of the patent
office indicates that no more patents
for medical compounds will be
granted. The examiner refuses a
1 intent, first, because the applicant
had not Invented or discovered any
thing; second, because the alleged
invention was not useful; and third,
because the production of this and
similar preparations is a mere matter
of skill.
Uraiit Wraiii lu llun lor a Third Term.
That, wise nnd penetrating observ
er, Mr. J. S. Pike, of Maine, writes
from Washington to the New York
Tribune in a very clear and convinc
ing manner upon tho design of Grant
to bo the Radical candidate for Presi
dent in 1870. Wo quote the whole of
his letter: . .
“One has not to bo long lu Wash
ington to discover that all this South
ern business means a third term.
Gen. Grant means it, and tho whole
host of udvouturers whose personal
fortunes are bound up in his contin
uance in office mean It also. It is a
new political feature in our history,
but not more strange nor striking
than many of tiie events of the last
dozen years. Tho incredulity about
it is still considerable, because peo
ple do not readily believe in wholly
now things. It is not unlikely the
plan is going to succeed. Gen. Grant
has this great advantage. By mak
ing himself the agent of violence and
repression at tho South, ho secures
the undivided support of the blacks
and carpet-baggers in the choice of
delegates to the national nominating
convention. Here is a large funded
capital to begin with. With the del
egates of all the old slave States in
his hands at theoutset, it will be seen
that he enters the contest with an
immense advantage over every other
candidate. It must also be remem
bered tlmt this is a blind force,
swaved by personal and partisan con
siderations merely. It will bo the
dead weight of the convention, not
amenable to high public considera
tions. It is difficult to see how itean
be overcome.
“The dividing line is already being
silently drawn here among the Re
publicans on this question, and it is
not difficult to trace its windings und
its boundaries. The stiff and sure
Republican States are at bottom anti-
Grant,, anti-third term. They wish
to try no rash experiments. They
desire to save themselves, if they can
not, save the Presidential election.
They, therefore, oppose themselves
to all political audacities of whatever
character, and strive to conciliate the
moral and conservative forces which
underlie all sound Republicanism.
But it will be recognized that the
number of such States is compara
tively small, and that they are no
match in representative force for the
body of Southern States.
“The Northern States which arc to
furnish recruits for the Grant stand
ard are States quite differently situa
ted. They are States already lost to
the Republicans, such as New York,
New Jersey, Indiana, and others.
Grant delegates from these States
can be furnished in any quantity, and
the rivalries of competing civilian
candidates will swell their number.
It is not with them a question of suc
cess now, hut of future operations.
They would rather throw away their
votes on Grant than anybody else,
since ills probabilities of success
would be worth more to them than
anything else within their reach.
Then the class of doubtful Northern
States, of which Pennsylvania and
Ohio may be taken as samples, while
they cannot tie so certainly counted
on, will nevertheless turn out, a good
deal of driftwood that will follow the
strongest current. Ho that all things
considered, looking to the Htates
alone, Grant’s chances seem to be
altogether better for a nomination
than those of anybody eise in the Re
publican ranks.
“This view receives confirmation in
a very striking manner by the reti
cence of leading Republicans. Very
few openly sav anything against the
third term. In fact nobody except
such ns are ready to break with the
Administration. Everybody is afraid
of that, It, affects them in their
party relations, and brings down
partisan hostility, which lew have
the intrepidity 10 defy. It is an
abasement thatall politicians suffer,
rather than endanger their places. It
is not manly, it is not honorable, but
it is human. It is a great misfortune
that people iu public life cannot bo
Independent and cannot say just
what they think. Geu. Grant domi
nates the leading Repulicans very
much as Clay used to dominate the
obi Whigs, though from very differ
ent reasons. Clay was a leader and
dictator by virtue of his genius;
Grant is so by reason of his place.
The latter has all the jiatronage of
the country at his disposal, and a
hacking of popular favor among the
rank and file. Between the two he
makes himself formidable, especially
so through the exercise of his military
qualities of pertinacity and obsti
nacy.
“Whoever, therefore, would under
stand the political situation, and de
sire to know the reason of the extra
ordinary policy being pursued, and to
be, apparently, still further pursued
with Southern States, must recognize
the facts Itore presented. They are
the key to the position. It is a bold
push for the third term.”
