THK TK-IT OATH. GOVERNOR smith to secretary Fisn A SCATHINO REFLY TO AN INSULTING PROPOSITION—OEOROIAS share in the CENTENNIAL -NO TAKERS OP TEST ' f OATHS IN OEOROIA —MR. HII.LYER's || COMMISSION RETURNED—A MANI.Y m letter. ially furnished to Cbroniclo tod Soutinol.) t State or Okoruia, j 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. James M. Smith. —i ■ 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.” THE Weekly Enquirer!
