~ Elk, Governor Brown, of Georgia.
made political speech a week or two
ago at Atlanta, advocating speedy COM
pliance with the provisions of the Mil
itary Bill. The audience was COM
posed in part of negroes, who loudly
applauded the Ex-Governor during the
delivery of his speech. We have not
forgotten the ruinous effect that ZOO
Browns course had upon the Georgia
soldiers during the war--how, when
the Southern people were every where
trying to unite to resist invasion, Gov.
Brown was foremost in the ranks of
malcontents and dissensionists. His
counsel in the interest of the Radicals,
with whom he has for some time been
in cons ultation, will be received with
many misgivings. Those who follow
his uncertain light will surely be led
astray.-Ouachita Telegraph. g9.
Ex-Governor Brown was always ain
unprineipled trickster and crazy fana-
tic. How he ever got to be elected
Governor of the State of Georgia, is a
mystery to as. Atthe commencement
of the war he was an insane SECESSION
list, one of the "blood Drinking sort ;
but he soon turned out malcuntent,
andexertedallhis energies to thwart and
ipjure the Southern cause. The dirty
renegade has now turned Radical. and
is attempting to crush the people of the
South in the dust. Let this Georgia
apostate take seat with the infamous
Jack Hamilton, the treacherous Wells,
the brutal Brownlow and the numbering
Fletcher, which is the worst punish
ment we wish him. A-sat u L'

The DISTRICT CoURT.-The Dis
trict Court of Bossier Parish, the Hon.
Jamesi Weems, presiding, adjourned
yesterday, after session of two weeks
We learn that the docket was early
got through with, which was a heavy
one; The Grand Jury continued in
session until Thursday, and then ad-
journed. We learn that the notorious
Dave and his horse and mule steal
ing partners, who have been confined
in our Jail for some time, got their trial
postponed to the next term of tn 9 Court,
and admitted to bail, in the enormous
sum of one hundred dollars! This is
certainly strange proceeding. These
thieves were caught with the stolen
property in their possession. Several
of the stolen mules were afterwards re-
covered from parties to whom these
scoundrels had traded them. When
first arrested, the one accused the other
ofdoing the stealing. And now they
are admitted to bail in the pitiful sum Of
one hundred dollars! We would adj
wise our citizens who have mules and
horses, to keep asharp look cut. The
Philistines will soon 10 upon you!

~ In the Federal House of Repre-

IT In the Federal House OF hepre-
sentatiyes, we notice, somebody has
introduced resolution declaring that
''the Constitution authorizes the Chief
Executive to extend the pardouing
power to persons who have been tried
by proper tribunals and convicted Of
crime and none other, and consequent
ly all pardons granted to such as have
never been convicted or tried are null
and void" This is nothing more or
less than declaring that the Constitu-
ton means what the Federalist says it
does notmean, what the Supreme Court
has decided it does not mean, what the
Attorney General, from Randolph to
Stansberry, have declared it does not
mean, and what the radical lawyers in
in Congress, with, Senator Trumbull
at their head, have just publicly con-
fessed it does not mean. In other
words, theresolution proposes to amend
4 the Constitution by an act of Congress.
Nay, the resolution goes farther, re-
troacting so as to nullify all pardons
that the President has granted before
conviction. The resolution thus pro-
poses to amend the Constitution by an
e.r post facto act of Congress. The
name of the author of this brilliant
proposition is not given by the tele-
graph. Who is he? Before we saw
| the announcement, we should have
been inclined to deny that even the
silliest and most ignorant radical in
Congress was capable of introducing
such a proposition. But it is plain
that the depths of radical faulty have
not yet been sounded.-LouisUiEIt
