Gov. Brown on the Situation.

Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, in recent
speech to mixed audience in Milledgeville, Co.,
said. "When we are admitted into the Union as
State expect to advocate an afilation with what
ever progressive national party shows the greatest
inclination to stand by principles and deal justly
by US, with the most power to aid IN restoring
prosperity to the South and to the whole country
The war has forever settled the old issues upon
which the country was divided into parties In
making future selection I shall be governed by
none of the predictions preudces of the past
Should the people reject Convention, he prognos-
ticates that when Congress again meets it will do
one or two things, saying nothing for the present
about confscation 1t will either disfranchise all
who vote against Convention, or oil who volunta-
rilv engaged in the rebellion. What would then
follow? The commanding general would be d.
rected TO make another enrolment of the freedmen
and the few white men not disfranchlsed, ana the
question of reconstruction would be referred PACK
to them. They would accept promptly and form
Constitution for the State and elect State officers
and members of Congress, and upon that organiza-
tion the State would be admitted into Congress by
representatives The present proposition leaves
probably eight Of nine-tenths of the white men
still voters. The next will not probably leave the
ballot in the hands of more than one or two-tenths
of the white men of the State Tie basis of e1clu-
sion should be all who voluntarily aided the re-
bellion."
Circular from the Freedmen's Bureau.
Gen. r. K. Scott, Assistant Commissioner of TIE
Bureau in this State has issued circular to officers
and agents, from which We make the following ez-
tracts:
The exercise of the privilege, as well as duty, of
registration by all freedmen properly qualified is OF
the first Importance.
officers of the Bureau will, therefore, at all
times advise and encourage such registration. For
this purpose the various assembages of the freed
men should be taken advantage of; but, it is es-
pecially cautioned that such meetings be not en-
couraged except at such time and places as will
not materially interfere with the labors OF the Peo
ple and the cultivation of the crops.
The efforts of designing persons, on the one
part, to impede the registration of the freedmen
as well as of such, as, by injudicious advice, would
raise unwarrantable expectations on their part OF
future assistance from the Government, thereby
encouraging idleness and neglect of the crops, will
be thwared Us far possible by personal influence
andccounsel.
1t is hoped by the Assistant Commissioner that
all good citizens will see the Importance OF the
freed people being properly informed upon all sub
iecs relating to their entranchsement, and will join
with the officers and agents Of this Bureau in CIV
inc such information and advising such action as
will enable this State at the earliest day to resume
its former status in the General Government.
A Wonderful Troupe.
| New York has been enlivened for the past two
months with entertainments by the japanese Jug
glers who were brought to this country by two
enterprising Yankees Among the troupe is lit
tie fellow whom the papers insist on calling "All
Right" so-called from nm expression made use Of
by him whenever he performs one OF his astonish-
ing feats The great ladder feat performed by
this youth, only ten years DID, is described as fol-
lows A ladder is balanced on the feet of his
father and on the top of that another is lashed
in almost horizontal position, and the youngster
travels out on the extreme end while his father
balances it. No.troupe of gymnasts ever performed
in this country any such daring feats as these Ja-
panesc The managers hold certificates from the
Tycoon that this Troupe is the first and only one
which has ever left Japan and that in this e1ped-
ton are the only women wbo ever left the shores
of that country. The managers are also under
bond for the safe return of the company within o
certain time. Of course, the house is nightly
crowded to witness their wonderful performances,
and the enterprise is success.
During one Of these entertainments recently we
regret to add that little .All Right" received fall
of nearly 40 feet caused by neglect in properly
fastening one of the ropes suspending him in the
air. lie was picked up insensible and bleeding
but Mt last accounts was doing far better than
might be expected.
Severe on Speaker Colfax.
The Mac-a-cheek Press thus does up Schuyler
Colfl1 the Radical Speaker of the Radical House
of Representatives
No man known to us runs larger amount Of
machinery to less boiler than Schuyler Colfax.-
Possessed of one little lecture, he fills end of
lyceums and newspapers. Packing the committees
in the House SO as to pander to the unscrupulous
greed of manufacturing monopolists, he wins o
wide notoricty as Speaker, and By catering to Fe-
nian humbug and oil sorts of baseess political ex-
citements he comes to be spoken Of as probable
candidate for the Presidency. Yet his little lee
ture any school boy could produce. His dexterity
as Speaker only proves his unftness for any other
position, while his letter to the Fenians exhibits
profound ignorance of Irish history and Irish char
acter.
schuyler's motive power is impudence. Had he
more sense he would be less successful. Fools
rush in where angels fear to tread, and half the
time rush in successfully. While intellect hesi-
tatcs, folly takes the trick.
