The House took up the resolution of
Mr.. Niblack, offered last Monday de
claring that the refusal of the President
to accept the present of a carriage and
horses from friends in New York, was
under the circumstances, eminently
prudent, commendable and patriotic

House, that the practice SO common of
giving presents for appointments or
promotion, as demoralizing, and ought
to be prohibited. The resolution was

The LOSSES OF GEORGIA. The Ma

THE LOSSES OF GEORGIA. The Ma
ha7'al hatelhgence,. says:
The report of the Comptroller
General OF Georgia makes some re-
markable statements respecting the
losses consequent upon the war in
that State. By the tax returns of
1866, the taxable property is esti-
mated at 1922, 1873, 1877, while in 1860,
it was returned at $672, 292, 447,
which, reduced to currency, would be
S1,OOS, 43S, ,663, making over $780,
600, 600 as the loss occasioned by the
war IN one State alone. Nor is this
all. This estimate does not include the
amount swallowed up in Confederate
bonds and scrip, which the Comp
troller believes would swell the total
loss of property in the Empire State
of the South above 81, 200, 900.
SO vast and sweeping an impoverish-
ment of such a population is simply
incredible. The returns of popula-
ton, as far as they have reached the
Office, indicate a decided loss in popu-
ation; Sc, 900 white population is re-
ported, against 99,74 in 1860, show
ing loss of 1889, or nearly
one-eighth. Now, when it is remem-
bered that the late war included little
destruction Of women and children.
at least by the hands of the soldiery,
and In this respect presented a mark
ed contrast to most other wars, the
drain on the male element of the
State must have been enormous. No
such extraordinary example of volun-
tarily encountered impoverishment
and destruction of life can be fur
nished by history.

TENNESSEE. The Legislature of
tennessee has met, and, although
there was no quorum the first day,
Governor Brownlow sent in his mes
sage. The Nashville Union and Ame-
riceoe thus notices the document:
Its chief points, briefly stated, are
negro suffrage-raising and .arming
''loyal militia" and holding them as
mlnute-men, to protect the ballot
box-further tinkcring with the fran
chise law-the denial of the power Of
any Legislature, after the present. to
act upon or modify the laws enacted
by this, upon the subject of the voting
prlvlleges-guards against a popular
convention to amend the Constitu-
olon-more stringent and compulsory
provisions to enforce the Metropoli-
tan Police law-the prohibition of
lnlunctions restraining its going into
et1ect-the summary punishment of
Judges who have or may throw the
shield Of Judicial protection over
members Of the Legislature, against
the tyranny of the radicals-an OBJ
Jurgation against "bolting," and a
diatribe against the President of the
United States. Ali these points are
more or less elaborated, and, though
couched in language and style little
more elevated and dignifed than the
Governors editorials in the Knox
vile Whig, constitute and embody q
mass of political crudities, unstates-
man-like dogmas and revolutionary
doctrines, more radical and startling
than have ever been propounded by
any similar functionary in the repub-
lie.

PROPHECY MADE HISTORY. is
the custom of tho shallow minded to
depreciate the craftsmanship of
Calhoun, and Of ''loyalists" to de-
fame his memory. 1t is the consum-
nation of political wisdom to foresee
events, and SO order the affairs of
Government as to provide against
mischief. There may be some who
now feel what he foresaw and pre-
dicted, who doubt the practicability
or the propriety of the policy he
urged to prevent it, but none can
read the following, { from ono of his
speeches, made in 1887, and question
his remarkable prescience:
Emancipation itself would not
satisfy these fanatics; that gained,
the next step would be to raise the
negroes to Il social and political
equality with the whites, and that
being effected, We should find the
present condition of the two races
reversed. They and their Northern
masters would be the masters, and we
the slaves; the condition Of the white
race in the British West India Islands.
rs bad as it is, would be happiness to
ours; there the mother country is in
terested III sustaining the supremacy
of the European race.

The POLITICAL RESULT

The PoL1r1cAL RESULT. re-
suit of the election in Maryland is q
thorough rout Of the Union party.
The whole power of the State has
passed ont of their hands, rs the Exc
cutive power had previously faded
away, and the Democracy are from
henceforward in full possession. With
the deposit of the last ballot yester-
day, the mock name of ''conserva-
tive" ceased to exist, and as party
nameit will no.more be known in the
State. We arc henceforward Repub-
licans and Democrats, and on this
basis all future political contests will
be made. The Republican party of
Maryland will rally on the platform
and principles of the loyal North,
and the Democracy will stand shoul-
der to shoulder with the rebellious
South. .-Bnltimore Americaa.

MEXICO. The New York World, of
Friday, noticing the arrival of Mr..
Campbell, the new Minister to Mexi-
co, and Gen. Sherman in that city,
says:
This mission is understood to be an
endenvor to reconcile the Ortega and
Juarez parties upon the departure of
Ma8imilian: Gen. Ortega said, be-
fore he left this city, that as soon as
the war with the French was ended,
he would propose to Juarez that an
election for the presidency should be
held, by the result OF which both
were to abide. If Juarez accedes to
this proposition, General Shcrman's
mission will be an easy one; but, if
the Liberals fight among themselves,
1T is whispered that Sherman is au-
thorlzed to support Jnarez, and en-
ploy the assistance of United States
troops in maintaining his authority.
Such, it is said in wcll-inforned
circles, are the instructions under
which Gen. Sherman is to act.
This position of our Government
towards Mexico has, it is stated,
been taken in consequence of the in
tfigues of Senor Romero, Juarez's
Minister at Washington; but it is for
the advantage of Mexico to be 60
verned by an established power, even
though it is necessary to edo evil
that good may comc' Mr.. Camp
bells directions, of course, cores
pond with those Of Gen. Sherman,
and, it is almost needless to say, he
is fully empowered to support the
General IN any course which he may
deem fit to support.

Dem. Ren-

The States yet 10 elect Representa-
tives in the fortieth Congress, and
the number of members to which
they are entitled, are as follows: Cali
fornia, 3; Connecticut, 4; Kentucky,
8; New Hampshire, 3; Rhode Island,
"a total of 81.
Estimating the result of the cleo
tlons In these States as that of the
last Congressional election, excepting
that in Kentucky, which recently
chose Democrat to fill the vacancy
In the Sixth District, occasioned by
the resignation Of Hon. Green Clay
Smith, Republican, the grand re-
suit will be as follows: Democrats,
10; Republicans, 1877.
This, of course, will give the Re-
publicans a majority in the House,
and plenty to spare; so they will have
everything their own yay in the
Fortieth, as they now have in the
Thirty-ninth Congress.
In the United States Senate, there
arc eleven Senators to be chosen

IMPORTANT MESSAGE OF THE Go
VERNON OF TEXAS. Throck-
morton's special message to the Texas
Legislature, on the condition of the
country, and on Federal relations,
says the true sentiment of our people
is misunderstood by the North; denies
with indignation the assertions Of
politicians, that we do not desire the
restoration of the Union, and that
Union men are in danger. of assas-
slnatlon; that, without military pro-
lection, they cannot remain here,
and that thousands are leaving the
State. He asks the Legislature to
pass resolutions to this effect, and 10
solemnly pledge the State authorities
to protect life and property, without
regard to political sentiment. He
suggests that negro testimony be ad-
mitted in all cases; recommends that
the taxes collected from the negroes
be applied to their education; and
says he hopes the Legislature will
make all the laws involving civil rights
as complete as possible, so as to ex-
tend equal and exact justice to all
persons, without regard to color.

WE'LL SA1D.-The Presidents or
gan says:
"In q Republican country, to at
tempt to rule by small minority of
the citizens, is like attempting to lift
a heavy weight by seizing the short
end of the lever. Maryland got on
the right side of the fulcrum, day
before yesterday, for it is impossible,
under our. form of Government, to
preserve peace and harmony, when
the few hold political sway over the
many. If the masses Of the citizens
are unfit to exercise the elective fran
chise in any State, then the principle
of selfgovernment had better be
abandoned at once, for in this age
there is not virtue enough in any
minority to render it fit to be trusted
with power to rule the majority"
Which shows that Andy knows his
party is IL the majority, and that the
country is now ruled by minority.

and inherited some slaves, but be-
ileving that the system in this coun-
try was injurious to the white race,
he manumitted his slaves and re-
moved to Iowa, where, as an active
leading Republican, he contributed
greatly to the building up of the Re
publican party. In his letter, speak
ing of Arkansas, he says:
"Union men are just as safe in this
State as anywhere else. We have
our proportional part of lawlessness
IN comparison with other States.
There are but very few instances of
violence being committed on political
conscientious, and where there has
been, the wrongs have been commit
ted as much by the one party as the
other. You and I, who fought for
the Union from the beginning to the
end of the fight, can now afford to
be generous and magnanimous. /
was amazed to witness with what
promptness and cordiality the South
ern people embraced the declaration
of principles enunciated by the
Philadelphia Convention-principles
which nre conservative, lust and
loyal, that neither you nor I can
object 70, while there is nothing in
them exacting of the ex-rcbels terms
of humiliation and degradation. The
effect of that Convention has been, to
some extent, to quiet the apprehen-
sion and fears of the people. OF all
things, the country demands repose.
We cannot have that until the Union
is cemented on the basis of represen-
tatlon IN the National Congress bv
all the States, for taxation and repre-
sentatlon, under our theory of Go
vernment, must go together.
81 am willing to bury the past in
oblivion, and unite with anybody and
everybody i'll the future who, in good
faith, desires to preserve the national
integrity under the old flag of the
Union. The Southern people have
had enough of war; a corporal's S
guard could not be raised here for
another war on the grounds of the
past one. Nothing but a just, ma
tlonal and conservative spirit can
unite the people of all sections of the
country. If politicians would let us
have that, industry and energy would
be revived, the material interests of
the country developed. our national
debt soon liquidated, and general
feeling OF kindness pervade the
whole land"
