LABGEBT DAILY OIBOULATION In (Illy and Niilnri>. •the pie rmr -caxtpt.m*:. In Huturduy morning's issue of our eotempornry, ami again in yesterday morning's Weekly, “a mcti'be” is drawn with great elaboration and much minuteness of detail. The les son from life that breathes and glows upon tho canvas, is the poverty and thriftlessncsa of the South. Though the artisl shows some skill and orig inality of design—though his figures stand out, almost as in bas-relief, yet must we say the "picture” lias defects apparent to the most superficial eye. It has none of wtiat is known to the profession as back-ground or perspec tive. The irrtixt should at, least have given us a chart, with numbers and references, to explain Ida picjtkk. He ' should have told us why the merchant complains of dullness— why the street cow lifts her “razor-like back,” the cnr is lean and hungry, the mule, “sore-backed and spiritless.” For fear the artist might die with his “pic ture” In its present unfinished state, and ore "our civilization" shall decay until “there is no health in us” for fear the world may mourn for the completion of “the picture”-and in order that it may not stand forth cut off, unfinished, like Dickens’ “Mys tery of Edwin Drood” we will take in hand the brush and pencil, and with the best intentions, assay to finish tlie work, though we desecrate the genius of the master. Once upon a time scarce fourteen v&ntH ago -the scones would have been vastly different to our artist’s eye. The merchants’ shelves were often filled, and ns often emptied to a bdsy population,Whdso great thrift authorized their many wants, and whose proverbial liberality supplied them. Bteods, richly caparisoned, sleek and spirited—almost disdaining the very ground on which they trode thronged our busy streets. The well-fed mule hung not his head or tail, bat loudly brayed in the exuber ance of his keeping. The cow— with straight and almost cushioned back browsed upon her owner's peas and pasture, until, tilled to surfeiting, she J panted in tho shade und “chewed the cud” of satisfaction. The grunting j porker pulled ids oily carcass along' the street and highway in no wise a temptation to tiio “woolly head,” who drew his four pounds, weekly, from the packings of his master’s smoke house. Money was so plentiful, that it was ofteu let out into trusty hands at less than the legal rate. Peace and prosperity reigned throughout tho land ; and tho State of Georgia, will; a taxable return of nearly seven hundred millions, was doubly richor in prdportlon to her voting numbers than the State of Pennsylvania. These people could not live in | harmony with the countrymen of tiio artist, “Our civilizations” were differ ent., und wo thought our governments should be likewise. Wo thought we had a right to quit them ; and though in good faith submitting to superior power, wo think so still. Put u great multitude came (tho artist among them) with sabres, and guns, and cannon, and "horsomen and chariots of wur.” Tho trade of our merchants was destroyed, our cities sucked, our factories and machine shops razed to the ground, our cotton burned in town and country or shipped to Northern ports. Age was insulted, virtue dis honored, valor overwhelmed, and the Hag of a wronged arid outraged people fell. By a stroke of tho pen, backed by tho brutal bayonet, three thoueaiul million dollars’ worth of property in slaves was destroyed, they were turned loose upon the whites, like frogs Into the houses and upon the beds and into the ‘kneading troughs” of tho Egyptians. The whites could no longer keep sleek horses, soft-lmired cattle, fat hogs, or cribs and granaries groaning with tho unlmported products of the soil; but, dismayed by theft and pillage, they were forced to produce cotton, which the negro could not eat up, like as he was wont prematurely to harvest the uuripeued ears anil to level in fresh pork before the earliest frosts of autumn. With a labor constantly diminish ing, and not *o lx: “directed” nt all; unablo or unwilling to distinguish between the privileges of citizenship and a right to steal ; the whites compelled, through self-defence, to attempt tho successful growth of an almost single produet-the merchant can scarcely do otherwise, on a rainy <lau, than to complain of commercial llatness. Tho “razor-backed” cow must remain unfed, oven on “impor ted hay,” when her owner is scarcely able to feed himself. The lean and hungry cur must look him up an uncertain living; and the sore-backed unde, clad in such humble and extemporizod accoutrements, wo fear must ever remain a “distinctive feature” of a "civilization” not "ours,” indeed-but forced upon us by a heartless, cruel assassination of the dignity and superiority of Cauca sian blood. The story is fairly told; *'thi: rie tOre” is eomploto in all its parts. As a matter of experiment, Dr. J. K. Barnum, of Lumpkin, has put threo thousand pounds of guano to an acre. The agent of tho guano de sired it done, in order to arrive nt the amount it would produce. We know somo kind of guano that.a man could use three ttifth to the acre, and not hurt the ground, or help the plant. Bainbbidgk is boasting of her Ger man population. Come up and take a look at the Germans of Columbus, nnd then subside. tn*l> on Plnrh. According to the Washington cor respondent of tho Italtimore Ameri can, Senator Andrew Johnson had a speech prepared in opposition to the admission of Pinchbaek as a Senator j from Louisiana which was not dollv- I erod, on account of the unexpected I postponement of the further oonsid t eration of the resolution till next De , oem her. The distinguishing feature j of this speech, would have been the ground Mr. Johnson contemplated to assume. Ho did not propose to enter into the merits or demerits of the ease, but would have opposed Finch back’s admission on tho ground that tie had not been a citizen of the j United States nine years, as required j by the Constitution that all members of the Senate shall lie, before being! eligible to n seat. He would have held ttiat colored men did not become citizens until tho ratification and adoption of the Fourteenth Amend ment to the Constitution, and such ratification being within that period of nine years, Pinchbaek was barred from taking his seat by this constitu tional Ineligibility. Tiukd of tuf. Nation's Warm.—A straight-out Republican paper of the North protests against making a buz zard-roost of the Capitol building at Washington. The editor says: “Strangers are amazed to see the use to which tho galleries in the Cup itol are put by the lazy, vermin covered, drunken negroes. These; wretched beings make u lounging place of tho Senate Chamber and the House of Representatives, and come in out of tho streets to sleep in the galleries. It is all very well to main tain the rule that the people shall bo aide to hear their representatives de bate, but it is a little too much to have the Capitol turned into a free lodging-house for paupers. There ought at least to boa rule forbidding persons who are either drunk or re pulsively dirty to enter the galleries. j If this were done, decent people! could frequent tlie galleries without! the danger of having to-sit next to! some filthy drunkard.” This is all very proper and sensible. But is it not downright treason against civil rights to insinuate that tho lazaroni of Washington shall bo denied tho privilege of roosting in the galleries of the Capitol? Col. Ei.li, of Galesburg, 111., broth er-in-law of Miss Sallie Lovejoy, (the lady whom Beecher’s lawyers at tempted to implieute in crime with Tilton at the hotel in Winstead, Con neetleut.) Ims been East and collect ed a mass of testimony to show that the inuendoes against his kins-wo man’s character are cruelly baseless, and intends to institute suit for mali cious libel on her behalf after the! cut rent trial is ended. Papers, it is ; said, will be served on Beecher's law- i yors at the earliest opportunity. ■ Miss Ijovojoy is a daughter of the no- ' torious abolitionist, Owen Lovejoy, of \ Illinois, and the neico of another ! Lovejoy who was hung, we believe, j for attempting to get up an insarreo- 1 tlon in the South. The Senatorial excursion to Mexico continues to attract attention. Vice President Wilson and Senators Cam eron, Morton, Anthony, Chandler, Morrill, of Maine, Hansom, Gordon, Dennis, Allison und Clayton, have al ready, it is said, “secured berths.” A small army of Pennsylvania railway officials and their friends are also go ing. Tho Nashville Union and Amer ican rather unkindly says; “There is no prodieting tho result of the foray. The map of North America may be reconstructed and Mexico wholly or partially wiped out. by an easy going war, with plenty of stealages, which is the last trump left a desperate par ty with a military President.” A certain Justice Stemmier, of New York, was to the Governor reported, dead, upon which the Governor im mediately appointed ills successor. Justice Stemmier not being dead at all, made great efforts to persuade Gov. Tilden of that fact, but the Gov ernor, having signed tho commission of fStemmter’s successor, insisted that Stemmier was legally defunct in the eye of the law, if not in the eye of the fact. And Justice Stemmier is walk ing about in a daze, with a liig olub, looking anxiously for tho man who informed the Governor that he had departed for another and better world. Of two members of a well-known Boston firm, one of whom possesses tho larger capital and the other the larger business influence, the latter : became dissatisfied, the other day, I and advertised anonymously for a partner with $50,090 capital. One re- { ply was received to the advertise ment, and a correspondence) ensued. ' At last the parties met, and—the I man who answered tho advertisement proved to be the advertiser’s partner. We can conceive of no possible rea son why Sohenck should wish to be recalled from his mission, unless he j desires to get out a now and improv ed edition of his great work known as “Sohenck on Poker.” It will prob ably be greatly enlarged and bound in calf. • - The Legislature of North Carolina lias passed the bill calling a conven tion to amend the State constitution. Tho vote in the House was 81 to 31. The convention is to assemble on the 6th of September next. Spelling matches received a hard blow iti Richmond. It is said that all went well till a member of the Vir ginia Legislature spelled country with a“k,”and the matches were discon tinued.

Dr. Harrison denies the con struction placed on his lecture re garding civil rights. He says he is ! not in favor of the law. Times are said to bo so hard in Grillln that such a thing ns a mar riage is never spoken of, and the boys ! have almost ceased to visit the girls. -Tho planters along the line of the ; Central Railroad have planted a large ix>rtion of their corn crop. None of it has made Its appearance above ground as yet. -The corner stone of the Oonfedo- 1 rate monument, it is understood, will certainly he laid on Memorial Duy in Atlanta. No design for the monu ment lias yet been decided on. ! —Col. John F. Shecnt lias com • menced the publication of the Jasper '■ j county Banner. It makes a first-class | start, and from it we are able to pro phesy that the paper will bg well od- j ! 1 tod, and a valuable acquisition to our exeliunge list. Now that the Legislature has passed an aet to prevent cruelty to animals, what is to be done with Thomas Cat, Esq., when he climbs on 1 to your division wall and disturbs ; your dreams with the query, oft re : pouted, "how-are-you?” Wo would j find an answer in tho coal scuttle.— I Sav. Adv. W. W. Harrell was elected Sheriff ! of Decatur county at the last election. ! Tlie evidence in the office of the comp- 11roller general showing that Harrell ; was one of the securities of W. E. I Gridin, defaulting tax collector of De catur, who is still in default to a large amount, under section 3Ti; of 1 he code he is held to be ineligible. The Gov ernor therefore declares him ineligi ble, and notifies the proper authori to order an election for sheriff. 4l.tn.tMA MOWS. Jake Martin is now the Postmas ter at Montgomery. Tlie Eufauln Nine* lias abandoned the old way of publishing a newspa per, and is now running the famous patent outside. —John Black & Son complain of the bad boys of Eufaula, who go to church only to be noisy and disagree able. The boys ought not to behave so. li. A. Thompson committed sui cide near Spencer’s Steam Mill, in Pike county, last Saturday, by shoot ing himself In the breast with back shot. The Alabama Legislature has ad journed. Before adjournment they jsissed the hill withdrawing the li cense tax from hotels, and allowing them to contract with their guests. Gov. Houston has approved the bill to prohibit keepers of billiard ta llies, on, or connected with premises where liquors arc sold, from permit-, ting minors to play on such tables. —Maria Smith, a quadroon, has ob tained a judgment for ten thousand dollars damages against Phillip Jo seph, editor of the late Watchman, a negro newspaper published in Mo bile. —Tho press are contending that Grant should do something for Lew is E. Parsons, Radical and ex-Gover nor. If nothing better offers a mis sion to the Shetland Islands will be acceptable. —The Troy lin/jnircr and the Me*- eenger don’t seem to agree. The lan guage they use towards each other does not sound like editorial courtesy. Hit ’em again, and we will promise to be bottle holder. —Tile General Assembly recently passed ail act reducing tho salary of Mr. Lambert, Commissioner of In dustrial Resources, from $2,500 to SSOO per annum. Heapplied to the courts for a mandamus to comiiel the nay mont of the $2,500, but the Radical Judge of the Montgomery City Court refused to grant it. - Gold is selling in New York at llfij, and is reported steadily rising. Something must be the matter. What is it ? Is Grant going to war with Mexico, and are the “pets” on a speculation ? Ben Russell, editor of tit,' Rain bridge Democrat, is quite ill, at his home. Wo hope for him recovery. Glorious News. A special to the New York Timm says: Attorney Gen eral Wiliams said to a personal friend that lie would soon resign his place in the Cabinet to accept a foreign ap pointment.
