Correspondence,

Eds. OF McGREGoR TINES 81 am the
man who travelled with A. Ward, Sen.,
and his unrivalled Show, very extensively;
but of all the shows, either human, biped,
| bovine, feline, or piscatorial, religious,
political, moral or prohibitory, l have seen
one to-day that takes the shine out Of all
of them.
Thanks to the foresight, the patriotism,
virtue and moral stamina of the leaders of
the incorruptible, unimpeachablc Repub-
lican party who met here to-day to pre-
serve intact the liberty of these United
States, and for the pleasure of seeing how
the thing was done, and how easily done !:
We feel thankful that the whole country
is safe, particularly Clayton County for
is not this the reform, retrenchment, Geo.
nomical, equal rights and prohibitbry par
ty whose words IRE incontrovertable when
convened in convention and have they
not said by their acts " that the principles
Of the party are the principles of the par
ty," and shall so continue to be in all time
to come? aV |1,s
This being the case, there is no necessity
of resolving this or that which would look
like reform. Are we not already thorough
ly reformed? 1t would tend to disorganizc
our organization, which is now complete.
Does any one fail to scee that we have
the control of all the public moneys that
we hold all the Offices that we make such
laws as will suit ourselves, and further the
interests Of our party. That although We
do make laws taxing the poor and exempt
ing the rich; prohibiting the sale or use of
whatever we deem in our wisdom improp-
or for the use of the poor, misguided, ig-
norant beings, who dare dissent from our
views and wishes?
1t is therefore uncalled for, and even
preposterous for them to ask of us a pub
lie expression Of our views ut time like
this but it is their bounden duty to sub
NIT without demur or argument, knowing
our wisdom, incorruptibility and power
Let as drink All, if there had only been
some one present who did not belong to
said party who was not drunk, it would
have made his heart glad to see the effects
of that drink. 1t was all for principle we
suppose, Ito witt the principles Of the par
ty are the principles Of the party. Some
were even heard to say that although they
were in the habit of taking too much, they
would not do the like again.
We sincerely hope that great good will
result from the acts Of this day to all con-
cerned, and that intemperance, that hydra
headed monster, may be laid low in all its
hidious forms. A. WARD, Jun.

FEBRUARY LIST. :. The French Court has been
ordered in mourning, according to the
usual state form, by Napoleon, in conse-
quence of the death of Macmillan in Mex

Of the loyal leaguers arming themselves
) with the apparent determination to fight
at q political meeting. 1.-The prosecution
rested their case in the Surratt trial on
the 9th inst. Mr.. Bradley opened the case
for the defense. He claimed they would
prove the innocence of the prisoner and
his mother. -. Congress met at noon on
the Sd inst. There were seven more sena-
tors and thirty-seven more representatives
than were required for quorum. Mr..
Summers argument in favor of taking
action upon every thing which might come
up during the session, was clearly in OPP
position to the opinions Of the members Of
the senate and it is believed that nothing
but the reconstruction question will be
passed upon. The house refused to admit
the members from Kentucky, save Adams,
because they were democrats and referred
to the committee on elections to enquire
into their loyalty.
Resolutions rendering thanks to Gems
Sheridan, Pope and Schofeld were passed
The feeling is strong against endorsing the
execution of Macmillan. A supplement-
al bill designed to settle the reconstruction
question will doubtless be passed SOON
