The Test Oath Bill.
The President has decided that he
will allow the bill to repeal the test oath,
to become a law without his signature,
lie does not look upon the bill as pro
viding an absolute repeal, on the ground
that a loyal man still has to take the
iron-clad oath while a man who has been
disloyal, but is not disfranchised by the
14th Amendment, need not take it.—
The effect of the bill is a discrimination
which he does not approve, and only
discovered at the very moment he was
going to sign it. The members who
voted for the bill say that this is a mere
quibble, for it was intended to enfran
chise those who were not otherwise en
franchised by the 14th Amendment,
and was not intended to reach men who
eould take the iron-clad oath.
Behind the Times.
That dilapidated remnant of ancient
cod-fish aristocracy, who presides over
the columns of the Griffin Georgian ,
gives us a rap over the knuckles for
writing a paragraph to the effect that
Hon. Linton Stephens “is behind the
times,” and insinuates that vre profess,
in that remark, something of the pro
phetic nature.
Now, we think it time these self-con
ceited, old fogy, played-out political aris
tocrats were taught the long-needed les
son, that other men—and even younger
men than they—have a right to hold an
opinion, and express it at pleasure. We,
at least, will write what we think, no
matter how much these old codgers
shrug their shoulders, and call us child
ish names.
We would not wound grand-pa Mor
row’s feelings for a pretty, but wc would
rebuke that spirit which prompts men
to hold on to played-out theories, and
ride ancient hobbies which have for
years been without back-bone or sup
porting substance—because they were
once, in a different day and generation,
in place, honorable, patriotic and sensi
ble.
We don’t propose to go to mill with a
bushel of meal in one end of the sack
and a large stone in the other end, to
balance it—even if somebody’s great
grand-father used to do it that way.
Some of these exponents of ancient
ideas talked the same way about us,
when, soon after the war, we fought that
political weather-cock, but very clever
gentleman, Ben. Hill, about his “notes
on the situation,” and urged the people
to take the matter into their own hands,
and “reconstruct” according to their own
ideas of right, under the circumstances.
As was natural to suppose, a majority of
the white people of Georgia—governed
by impulse and natural prejudice, took
Mr. Hill's advice, held aloof from the
Constitutional Convention, and we dare
say, if it had not been for a few moder
ate sensible men, like Miller, in that
Convention, we would have been a great
deal worse off than we are. And fur
ther, if it had not been for the hard
headed foolishness of Ben. Hill, and a
few others—who then stood where Hon.
Linton Stephens now stands, the Radi
cals, carpet-baggers and negroes would
have had very little to do with the fra
ming of our Constitution, and the gov
ernment of Georgia under it.
The old gentleman glories in being
with Mr. Stephens, “behind the times.”
We are glad he enjoys it; for though a
“young ninny-head,” we have read
enough to have discovered somewhere,
that,
“If ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise.”
So, jog along, old friend, and when
you and Linton Stephens have been “be
hind the times” long enough to succeed
in doing away with Congressional recon
struction, Lincoln’s emancipation procla
mation—and—well, yes—and foraed un
cle Sam to redeem our confederate shin
plasters—we’ll throw up our hat and
loudly cheer that glorious band of anti
quated patriots, who are now “behind
the times”—provided we are not com
pletely annihilated by the aforesaid edi
tor for this “assumacy.”
Senator Miller.
In the U. S. Senate on Monday, the
resolution seating Miller on the modified
oath was taken up and debated all day.
The joint resolution allowing Nliller to
take the modified oath goes to the House
for concurrence and then to the Presi
dent.
Nays on the bill modifying Miller’s
oath: Abbott, Ames, Brownlow, Buck
ingham, Chandler, Cragin, Edmonds,
Gilbert, Howell, Morrill, Stearns, Stew
art, Sumner and Warner. Senators
Bayard, Carpenter, Sherman and Willey
in the affirmative, paired with Conkling,
Hamilton, of Texas, and Cameron and
Pool in the negative.
lies'- The Western members of Con
gress hope to suspend the rule so as to
take up and pass, at an early day, a bill
providing for the increased representa
tion under the late census, so as to se
cure the presence in the next Congress
of the new members. It is not proposed
to require a re-districting of the State
now, as that would require too much
time. The increase of representation is
to be made by the general ticket system,
each State entitled to more members to
elect them from the State at large. By
adopting this plan, it is said that all the
States can secure full representation by
the time of the meeting of the next De
cember session. The Southern mem
bers are relied on to aid the West in
this movement, as the increase in the
South will be very considerable.
IST* The plan of the Tennessee Diver
campaign, in the late war, it seems, was
not Rosecrans, nor Grant’s, nor Burn
side’s, nor Sherman’s, nor anybody’s, but
the plan of a Miss Anna Ella Carroll, of
Maryland, for which triumph of strate
gic military genius, the United States
Senate has just agreed to pay her §5,000.
What a magnificent “campaign” docu
ment for the Woman Suffrage party.
It is proposed to send, after the ad
journment, a roving commission of Con
gressman to the South to hunt up “out
rages,” to ‘ fire the loyal heart” in 1872.
The Baptists.
According to the statistics of the bap
tist Hand book, there are 2.568 Baptist
churches in Great Britian and Ireland,
with 233,675 members, showing a de
crease of membership of more than
3,810. England has 1,910 churches;
V ales. 511; Scotland. 110 ; Ireland. 37.
In all there are 1.990 Baptist ministers;
and of these, not less than 436 are with
a charge. There are 3,093 chapels and
307,159 Sunday-school scholars. Ger
many has 82 churches and 13,509 mem
bers; Sweeden 207 churches and 8,120
members ; Australia, 133 churches and
4,321 members ; Canada, 322 churches
and 17,042 members ; the United States
12,011 churches and 1,121,988 mem
bers. The total number of Baptist
churches throughout the world is 15,-
879, and of members 1,382,024.
P&P The mere mention of Beast But
ler’s name as the probable successor of
Mr. Fisk in the State Department,
caused a rise in gold of one-half of one
per cent, in New York on Saturday last.
The Herald dfesires the appointment of
the beast because he is unpopular in
Canada,*on account of his late threaten
ings about the fishery question, and be
cause the British home government dis
likes his extreme position on the Ala
bama claims. President Grant, although
a weak man and constant blunderer,
will hardly run so strongly in the face
of even extreme Radical sentiment as to
put the hero of Dutch Gap and Fort
Fisher in so high and important a posi
tion as Secretary of State. *
Bold Speech in the Senate-
Brave Words and True.
Mr. Saulsbury said he advocated the
admission of Mr. Hill because he was
elected by the Legislature of a State.
He repudiated entirely the able argu
ment of the Senator from Illinois, that
Mr Hill should be admitted because the
Legislature had complied with the recon
struction acts of Congress. He repu
diated those acts entirely, and if Mr.
Hill was only to be admitted because
his election was in conformity with the
reconstruction acts, he [Mr. S.] should
vote against his admission. He [Mr. S.]
did not represent the people of the Uni
ted States, but the people of the glorious
little Btate of Delaware. To that State
he owed his election, and to that State
ho was responsible. And the State of
Georgia stood upon the same footing as
Delaware or any other State. Congress
had nothing to do with prescribing con
ditions upon which Georgia should be
admitted to representation. 11c con
tended that Georgia had never been out
of the Union.
But lately a bust of him they called
the martyred President had been un
veiled. He [Mr. S.] now wanted to give
a little piece of history. The doctrine
of Abraham Lincoln was that when the
rebels laid down their arms they were
entitled to the restoration of their rights
in the Union.
This reconstruction policy was none
of his doctrine. If this statement was
not correct, he asked the Senator from
lowa, [Mr. Harlan,] who was in the
Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln all the time, to
deny it. The Senator does not deny it,
and of course it is true. Why was this
reconstruction policy adopted? To gain
votes, to get negro recruits, to swell the
ranks of the Republican party, and to
save them from defeat. In 1872, how
ever, this will not avail you. The Dem
ocracy, under the lead of that glorious
soldier, Hancock, will gain a glorious
victory over all your combined allies,
and then we will have as President a
man who does not squat down and worry
out a weak foe; a man who does not kill
more of his own men than his enemy
has, but a man who can fight, and who
can obey the laws.
Mr. Saulsbury proceeded further to
review at length the reconstruction leg
islation of Congress, and to maintain
that it was unconstitutional, and null
and void.
The people of the South were no trai
tors; no more than you, sir, [to the
Vice President.] I stand here in the
last moments of my Senatorial career, to
proclaim it to the length and breadth
of this land. Those noble, glorious peo
ple traitors ! No, sir. Every grave of
theirs is a pilgrim shrine. When you
tell me that those noble Virginians,
whose ancestors did more than any other
men to lay the foundations of this gov
ernment, are traitors, I protest against
it in the names of their venerable sires;
in the name of God Almighty’s mercy.
Radical Ku-Klux. —Jeff Long, the
negro member of Congross from Geor
gia, is very active in the service of Mor
ton’s committee. He writes to the ne
gro State Convention in Atlanta, advis
ing that body to take depositions from
each of the members that have com
plaints with reference to murders and
outrages. No doubt the Convention will
present its quota of Ku-Klux horrors.
A Washington special to the Boston
Post, says S. L. Hoge, of South Caro
lina—who, if we are not mistaken, was
mixed up in some way w r ith the recent
importation of New Tork roughs, for
the purpose of making war on the citi
zens of Union county, and doing some
little jobs of assassination—made a
speech a few nights since in Washing
ton, in which he declared that the “Ku-
Klux” of South Carolina, under the
name of “Agricultural Societies,” were
organizing and arming preparatory to
the campaign of 1872, when they mean
to overcome the Republican majority of
thirty-four thousand by the bullet and
the dagger of the assassin.
Such are the villainous lies that are
promulgated at the North, for the pur
pose of keeping alive sectional animosi
ty and justifying Radical outrage and
oppression.— Sav. New*.

The Jacksonville Murder.
The Jacksonville Union, of the 6th,
gives the following account of the re
cent murder near that city :
Saturday evening, about half-past six
o’clock, Mr. Fagan and his wife came to
the city, leaving the house and children
in charge of Miss Carlind. and returned
home about ten o’clock. On reaching
the house a most horrible sight met
their view. The dead body of Miss
Carlind was found lying across the door
sill, between the dining room and an
adjoining bedroom, her head fearfully
cut and disfigured. The body of the
eldest child. Catherine, was next found
lying on the bed in another room, her
head almost cut to pieces, and the body
of the youngest child, Fannie, in anoth
er room, also lying on the bed. with two
frightful cuts across the head, and the
axe which had done the murderous
work still remaining in the last wound.
The rooms were bespattered with blood,
and the bloody tracks of the murderer
disfigured the floor. A secretary stand
ing in the sitting room had been broken
open and £3OO in money and two gold
watches taken, and the had ap
parently been ransacked for plunder.
Notice of the murders was immediate
ly sent to Sheriff Ledwith, who sum
moned a possee and hurried to the
scene. A guard was placed upon the
house and measures to track the
murderers. Footsteps were discovered
leading from the house dowm to the
wharf. A white man named Edward
Chisolm, the steward of a schooner ly
ing at the wharf was arrested, and also
four negro men.
The prisoners were lodged in jail and
strongly guarded.
As we go to press Coroner Rawson is
engaged holding an inquest, and we un
derstand that writs sor 1 the arrest of oth
er parties have been issued.
The Coroner’s jury is still in session,
and at present desires to keep its pro
ceedings secret. Mr. W. Scott, tally
clerk at Fairchild’s Mill, who boards
with Mr. Fagan, and occupied the room
where the body of Miss Carlind was
found, wes arrested this morning. Mr.
Scott entered Mr. Peck’s jewelry store
on Saturday nigh, about ten o’clock, and
Mr. Gilbert, the clerk, noticed blood up
on his clothing. This information re
ported to the police, led to Mr. Scott’s
arrest. Mr. Scott accounted for the
blood upon his clothing by stating that
he had the nosebleed, and farther states
that he spent Saturday evening at the
theatre.
Thompson, the steward of the schoon
er, was arrested because bloody foot
prints were found upon the deck of his
vessel, about which he made contradic
tory statements. It is also said that his
foot compared with the footprints lead
ing from the house.
Important to Postmasters and
Editors.
On Saturday last, the United States
Senate adopted the following as amend
ments of the postal laws :
Sec. 82. And be it further enacted,
That the compensation of postmasters
shall be a fixed annual salary. The post
master of New York city shall receive a
salary of £6,000 per annum. All other
postoffices shall be divided into five
classes. The salary of Postmasters at
offices of the first class shall not be more
than £4,000 nor less than £3,000; of
the second class less than £3.000, but
not less than £2,000; of the third class
less than £2.000, but not less than £1000;
of the fourth class less than £I,OOO, but
not less than £100; of the fifth class,
less than £100; and the salaries of the
first, second and third classes shall be in
even hundreds of dollars ; of the fourth
class in even tens of dollars; and of the
fifth class, in even dollars.
Sec. 100. And be it further enacted,

Sec. 151. And be it further enacted.
That all mail matter deposited for mail
ing, on which at least one full rate of
postage has been paid as required by
law, shall be forwarded to its destina
tion. charged with the unpaid rate, to be
collected on delivery.
NEW YORK.
New York, Feb. 10.—Nothing has
been heard at New Hamburg or Pough
keepsie of the Italian Consul to Mont
real, Mr. Kinsela or Dr. Lucea, an at
tache of the Consulate, for whom inquir
ies are received by telegram from their
friends. It is only conjectured that
they were on the train, bui<as they have
been widely announced as among the
missing, it is strange that they do not
report themselves.
The strangest mystery of this deplor
able affair remains to be told. Mr.
Malloy, the Poughkeepsie coroner, has
in his possestion a pair of shoes belong
ing to a girl about fifteen years of age.
These shoes contain a pair of feet, all
that remains of the body of which they
were once members. The resl has been
consumed in the terrible conflagration
that followed the collision. These shoes
were picked up near the foot of a tele
graph pole on the embankment leading
to the bridge from the north and scarce
ly six feet from the end of the
bridge. How they came there is a mys
tery equally incomprchansifcle with that
of their proper ownership. The body
has not been missed.
It is stated that the proprietors of the
sleeping car lines have made a present
of £IO,OOO to the wife of Conductor
Vosburgh, killed in the Hudson river
accident.
The Man in the Moon. —By Lord
Rosse’s new telescope, it is said objects
in the moon of seventy-two feet in
length can be seen very distinctly, and
with one ten times as powerful, they ex
pect to be able to see the “man in the
moon,” unless he has stepped out on
business. m
What They Say about Pres
ident Brown.
WESTERN And ATLANTIC R. R. CO.
Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown has
been appointed President of the new
Western and Atlantio Railroad Compa
ny, organized from the lessees of the
road, in accordance with enactments of
the Georgia State Legislature. Mr.
Brown has been historically associated
with the State of Georgia for many
years—eight of these he served as Gov
ernor—and daring the past two he has
been Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court in the State. As the Western
and Atlantic Railroad; prior to its pres
ent lease, was operated by the State, Mr.
Brown has naturally acquired a valuable
experience in general railroad manage
ment , and as the line between Atlanta
and Chattanooga is favorably located for
the transaction of both through and lo
cal business, its earning abilities will be
more fully developed under his control
than under that of any other person
whom the lessees could have selected to
fill this important position.
E. W. Cole has been elected General
Superintendent of the Western and At
lantic Railroad Company. Mr. Cole
was, we believe, formerly Superinten
dent of the Georgia Railroad, and still
occupies the position of President of
the Nashville and Chattanooga and
Nashville and Northwestern Railroads.
From the rapid development of through
business between St. Louis and Savan
nah by the Chattanooga route, and from
his intimate acquaintance with the traffic
of that section of country, Mr. Cole may
justly be said, (although the phrase is a
hackneyed one) to be the “right man in
the right place.”— Traveler s’ Ojfkial
Railroad Guide , Feb.
Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, Pres
ident of the Western and Atlantic Rail
road Company, seems to be agreeably
disappointing his most sanguine admir
ers. He proves himself, from all appear
ances, thoroughly conversant %ith the
most minute details of the business, and
bids fair to be one of the great railroad
kings of the South.— Banner of the
Church.
'&F Certainly the people of thiscoun
try pay liberally for doubtful luxuries :
as, for instance, there are produced an
nually throughout the United States
95,000,000 gallons of liquor, and in
the brewries 5,000,000 gallons of beer.
The correctness of these estimates may
be best ascertained by reference to our
prisons and almshouses, which teem
with votaries of rum. Os the 7,242 in
mates of the Bkighampton Inebriate As
ylum in New York, there wereflO cler
gymen, 8 judges, 197 lawyers, 226
physicians, 340 merchants, 680 mechan

805 women, involving class in society.
