SAvANNAH, Dec. 1.-Mr. Henderson
introduced the following resolutions
yesterday in the House, which have
been unanimously adopted in both
branches of the Legislature:
Whereas, The General Assembly
would do injustice to the great heart OF
Georgia not to give some formal ex-
preston of their respect for the charac-

unison and sympathy with his suffer-
ings and misfortunes. Its warm affec-

once dear but now abandoned cause,

men admire all that is chivalric in ma

anxious solicItude to the day when a
magnanimous and patriotic President
shall put an end to his confinement,
and by the interposltiOn of Executive
clemency restore him to a people for
whom he so faithfully struggled, and
on account OF whom he endures with
Christian foFtitude the hardships OF a

"A DepIOrabIc Picture of Affairs
Throughout Virginia.
Snecj0I IN ths- N V Tl;D,,.

Special TO tIe-N. y. Times.
1t may we'll be said that the State OF
Virginia is plunged into apathy and
despair. The papers, which never were
fair exponents of public opinion at the
South, keep up show of courage, and
even of bluster. 1t is hollow and un-
echoed by the people OF large. Poll
ticians still repeat the old cant and trv
hto stir up the masses by hackneyed
phrases and antiquated paradoxes.
They have lost their hold, God be
thanked. Pamphlets and books are
written on the lost cause and the iunc-
cence of Jefferson Davis, but they are
read only from curiosity, and as far as
their influence goes they might be
they are sick mt heart; they are on the
brink of despair.
They want no pardons or privileges,
they ask not for representation in Con-
gress for votes at the polls, theV care

universal suffrage-they want but one
thing, and that is peace. Peace at ali
hazards, peace at any cost. It is the
same feeling that made five millions OF
Frenchmen vote for a spurious Bona
parte to be their master, and to rule
them with an iron rod. They also
wanted rest from political excitement,
security for trade and commerce, agri-
culture anu luuuSlTy1 peace IN the land

them the certainty that, the price once
paid, peace and order shall be restored.
and they are willing to make apy sac
itice that may be asked.
And they are wise in their readiness to
give up all their predictions and deem
rooted habits. For in the meantime, in
this period of harassing, enervating
uncertainty, Virginia is going down
rapidly. Her broad acres lie waste, or
are imperlectly cultivated. There is no
manure to improve the neglected soil
there are no labor-saving machines to
supply the former slave. Mills are fall
ing into ruins, and factories stare at the
traveller with their rows of unglassed
windows. Merchants are closing their
stores, and goods are lying unsold in
the warehouses. Immigration passes
by the rich lands of the James River
and of the Valley, to turn its current
toward the West. Gentlemen move to
the large cities OF the North to earn
their living, and freedmen leave the
State by the thousand in search of re-

Is DARCY MCGEE "a MISUNDERSTANDING
Statements OCa Member or the Cana
dian Cabinet-.-A Stray Sheep Re-
claimed.
From the Peterborough C. ". Examiner.
n gentleman in Montreal writes to
the Globe that he attended concert at
which the Hon. T. D. MCGEE was a
speaker, and that Mr.. McGee in his
speech said things most unworthy of a
minister of the crown. The following
are the words of the letter in so far as
the charge against Mr.. MCGEE is con-
cerned:
speaking of the State trials at pres
ent going on, he said that some Of his
countrymen were found guilty and
sentenced to death; that there was not
one who felt the pressure of that sen.
tence more than he did; that actually
his blood ran cold in his veins on hear
ing that the blood of his countrymen
was TO be poured out on a Canadian
scahold. He also stated that he had
documents upon documents in his pos
session to prove that there were among
us men who deserved to be in company
with those men already doomed, but
ne kept 1t secret, and stood between
them and the justice of the law; and
wound up by saying he should not have
spoken thus"
These are strong expressions to be
used by Canadian Minister, and take
what view we may, unless the matter
can be cleared, and a different mean
ing drawn from those words than thev
now convey, Mr.. MCGEE places him
self in a very strange position indeed,
Can 1t be possible that Mr.. MCGEE is a
tenian symPathizer, that secretly but
really he was aiding and abetting those

an attempt to subvert the Government
OF the country of which he is a sworn

think, suffered enough through the
follies of his youth. Even the strong

WoTd tnat could be construed into SYM
pathy Tor them; and if he uttered those
words attributed to him, he should be
called upon at once to resign his place,
not only as member of the crown, but
as a member of Parliament. Some
journals insinpate that his tongue was
under certain influences of which he,
in company w ith some other ministers,
has been accGsed and convicted by
public opinion. This, however, is a
very poor excuse for "A gentleman in
his position, and what a humiliating
position 1t Is for a minister of the
Crown to be incapable of selecting
words of soberness and loyalty. 1t is
much to be regretted that Mr.. McGee
should SO mar his usefulness and de-
stroy himself by any word or deed that
could be construed into sympathy with
remains, as that is tantamount to being
one with them.

VacRte ON the BOubIe Quick.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.
The following is Thad. Stevens bill
in regard TO Federal oftice-hOIders re-
Gently appointed by the President. 1t
will be seen that they are in danger of
very summary election from their
places. The probabilities are that
most, if not all of them, will have a
short lived reign, and that they will be
turned out good deal faster than they
were turned in. The bill also dismisses
from office their subordinate appointees,
Ihe'te1t of Mr.. Stevens bill is as fol-
lows:
SECTION l. That in all instances OF
appointments to office by the President.
by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate, the power of removal shall
be exercised only in concurrence with
the Senate.
SEC. 2. In case of disability or mis-
conduct in office occurring during the
recess of the Senate, where the interests
of the public may make it necessary to
dlSplace the incumbent until the advice
and consent of the Senate can be dulv
had and obtained thereon, it shall be-
lawful for the President to suspend the
disabled or defaulting officer, and to
designate some other person to perform
the duties of the office until the Senate
shall have an opportunity of acting
President, within ten days after the
next meeting of the Senate, to report to
1t the fact of such suspensions, with the
reasons therefor, and to nominate n
person for the place; and in case of the
refusal OF the Senate to concur in such
suspension, either by a direct vote there
on, or by not advising and consentiug
to the appointment of the person so
nominated, the officer who has been
thus suspended shall thereupon resume
the exercise of the official functions, as
though the same had not been inter-
rupted.
SEC. 3. That every person who has
been or shall hereafter be nominated to
the Senate for Office, and who shall fail
70 receive the advice and consent of the
senate thereto, shall be incapable of
holding any Office under the United
States for the term of three years after
such rejection, unless two-thirds of the
Senate shall relieve him of such dis
aDlllty. The predecessor of any nomi-
nee rejected by the Senate shall con-
tinue to hold his said office. Whenever
any person has assumed Office, and is
dlscharging its duties on the nomina-
ton of the President, before he has been
confirmed by the Senate, on his reiec-
tion, all the subordiuates or deputies
wholhave been APPOINTED by him, or on
his recommendation, shall vacate their
places and cease TO act.
SEC. That all nominations to office
made by the President shall be commu-
nicated to the Senate within twenty
days after they are made, or after the |
succeeding session of the Senate.

pressions he received from the inter-
view:
THE editor of this paper has lately

TO the people of the South, TO be in

Let no one expect great attainment or

double face or double tongue. Deceit-
lulness seldom brings even n present

~, IL brings the very evils we would
shun and the very troubles we would
avoid. The experience of the evils of
society has satisfied us that the almost
universal practice of thinking and feel

another, has made the deadliest hatreds'
the bitterest animosities. and the worst
alienatlons. "N4''
Those whom we receive with gracious

not difficult 10 tell. We are so consti-
tuted, that what we are not willing to
say to mans face, we will, at some
tlne, be betrayed into saying behind
his back. Buff we do not proclaim
our tnsincerity in this way, we do in
another. There is almost always an
indescribable something in the looks

tlclng deception. Their kindness, their
expressions of interest, their civilities
fail to win US, and we feel-we can
scarcely tell why-that they are not
true friends. We may never have
heard OF anything they have said
against us, but we cannot look at them,
or listen to them, without the lurking
suspicion that they do not feel The
friendship they are trying 10 manifest-
