Executive Department, ■
Atlanta, March 18, 1875.)
Km. Hamilton Ftih, Secretary of
W State, Washington, D. C.:
8m —I have the honor to oeknowl-i
edge the receipt of your communica
tion of the 10th inst., enclosing the
appointment of Mr. Oeo. Hillyerns
Comuiiauiouer to represent the State
of Georgia in celebrating the centen
nial anniversary of American inde
pendence at the city of Philadelphia,
in the year 1878. Accompanying the
President’s commission is an open
letter from yourself to Mr. Hiliyer,
advising him of his appointment, to
gether with the printed loriu of oath,
which, in the event of his acceptance,
you direct him to execute and return,
that the same may be placed on tile
in the State department. A portion
of the oath referred to is as follows:
“I, , do solemnly swear that
I have never voluntarily borne arms
against the United States since 1
have been a citizen thereof; that 1
have voluntarily given no aid, coun
tenance, counsel or encouragement
to persons engaged in armed hostility
thereto; that 1 have never sought,
nor accepted, nor attempted to exer
cise the functions of any oftieo what
ever under any authority, in hostility
to the United States; that I have not
yielded a voluntary support to any I
pretended government, authority, i
power or constitution wit hiu the Uni- j
ted States, hostile or inimical there
to.”
By requiring the Commissioners to
take this oath the Southern States
are, in effect, excluded from all voice
or participation in the celebration re
ferred to. It must be known to the
President that almost theentlre bod) ,
of white people at the South were en
gaged, actively or otherwise, in be
half of their own section, in the late
war between the States, and that t hey
can take no part in the exposition
Under requirements now made of j
them. Indeed, if the Commissioners, j
or official representatives of tile \
States, are required to take obuox- !
lons oaths, 1 see no reason why the!
exhibitors or even the visitors iit the J
exhibition, may not be called upon j
to do the same thing.
I know of no provision by law j
which requires any such oath to be
taken by the Commissioners, and
what good is expected to be accom
plished by going beyond the re
quirements of the law in tins regard,
lam at loss to imagine. 1 may lie
pardoned for suggesting at this]
point, that Georgia was one of the
thirteen States which revolted
against British authority, and that
slie has the same interest and tlie
same right to celebrate the one hun
dredth an uiversay of American In
dependence, that Pennsylvania or
New York has. Her delegates signed
the Declaration of Independence,
and I lufve yet to learn if her sons
have ever hesitated to make any sac
rifice necessary to maintain the
great principles enunciated in that
Declaration. And yet, it is now
promised, not only to tax her people.
In order to meet the expenses attend
ing the celebration of American In
dependence, but to exact an outli
which practically excludes them
from all participation therein.
Candor constrains me to say that
if this gratuitous and wanton re
quirement is insisted upon, the peo
ple of Georgia will not, wftli my
consent, take any part whutever in
tile proposed partisan celebration at
Philadelphia, i had supposed that
the people of all the States wore ex
pected to take part on the joyous or
easiou. tind not ooly the people of
these States, of every creed, color
and condition, but the lovers of lib
erty throughout the civilized world
would be cordially invited and wel
comed, without preliminary oaths or
exactions of any kind. If in this I
have been mistaken, and if, as it now
seems, only a partisan celebration
by the dominant ixilitical party of
the country is contemplated, then, I
regret to say, that a great opportuni
ty has been lost, and that neither the
Governor nor the people of Geogin
will be responsible for that misfor
tune.
I must ask to bo pardoned for
having troubled the President to ap
point a Commissioner for tills State.
My desire was that Georgia should
he represented at the celebration by
a native-born citizen; but candor
cotnixds mo to say that I am not
acquainted with a native lit to repre
sent the State who could, or would,
take the oath required. Certainly
Mr. Hillyer cannot take it, and I re
spectfully decline to bo the chanel |
through which he is invited to do so. |
1 have the honor to return, here
with, the commission intended for
Mr. Hillyer, witii accompanying pa
pers, and to ask that I be allowed to
withdraw his nomination for the po
sition of Commissioner.
I have the honor to !*• your obe
dient servant.

Marriage ot Raphael Wcinnws' Btuttbtir.
A letter from Mobile, Ala., sth inst.,
to the Memphis Appeal says :
“The nuptials of Mr. C. It. Bryan,
of Memphis, and Miss Anna Sentrnes,
of this city, wore celebrated here to
day at the residence of the bride’s
father, Admiral Raphael Semims,
the renowned commander of the late
war ship Alabama. The rites were
solemnized by Right Rev. Bishop
Quinlan, at 1 1 o’clook noon, in the
presence of relatives and a small cir
cle of friends. A reception was held
from 12:30 o’clock to 4 o'clock in the
evening, during which time the nup
tial hall was thronged with the elite
of Mobile with fair women and gal
lant men. And this hall -it was beau
tiful, decorated and festooned with
every variety of flowers offered by
this soft and flowery clime. Suspend
ed from one side of the bridal hall to i
the other was the large, rich and
magnificent Confederate flag, of the j
costliest material and most exquis-1
itely embroidered, which was made !
and presented to Admiral Semises by
the ladies of London, while com
manding tlte Alabama. Beneath this
solemn, beautiful and historic em
blem. the marriage vows were taken ;
Gen. Gordon, of Memphis, and Miss
Maud Bailey, of Clarksville, were at
tendants. Among the guests was
the distinguished Father Ryan, the
poet and orator. The bride was su
perbly attired, and her appearance
was truly regal; she seemed not on
ly the pride of the exultant bride
groom, but of ail who (tamo to greet
and bid her be happy. After a thous
and blessings from kindred, and as
many congratulations from friend,
the bridal party left for Clarksville
and Nashville, by wav of New Or
leans.”
—The Savannah Hewn remarks that
“the editor of the Atlanta Herald
wants to repose his weary limbsupon
the Cincinnati platform. Evidently,
he doesn’t want any bod-fellows.
There are few who, having onee ex
perienced the feeling, desire the
chinch-bug of Greeleytsm to tackle
them with its playful tushes.”
