Unfinching, Undaunted, Immortalized,

Gov. JENKINS of Georgia! His name will so
down the tide Of time with the bravest, best most
faithful! For persiStently and most conscien-
tiously refusing to advance money from the
Treasury of the State of Georgia to meet the e1-
pensss Of the Atlanta Mongrel Convention, he
has been removed from Office by Gen. Meade.
Behold tho fret act of this now satrap, OF whose
lofty character so much has been said and sung
Gen. DUNN, an Indiana man, m oficor on Gen.
PopE's staff, is to succeed the noble JENKINS as
Governor of Georgia
Gen. MEADE, however, has but anticipated tho
action of the rump Congress, which is surely ma
king ready to vacate all civil Offices in the South
ern States. Better for his fame had he waited
for this action. And all this in the attempt to
perpetuate Radical power; and to elevate ne
gro into white man, as vain an undertaking rs
to convert Sumner or Wade into patriot and
decent man-the most hopeless thing on Garth

Shams and Humbugs.

The greatest sham of the present day, the So
called Reconstruction Convention for South Caro-
Ina, is to bo put II process of psrpetratiOn to-
dav. Tuesday 14th. And the greatest humbugs that
over cum bered the earth, the so-called delegates
10 tbi, so-called Convention, have doubtless all
arrived safely upon the scene of action. The un-
fortunate city of Charleston is to bo again desc
Grated.
Picture to yourselves this grand rally White
spirits and black will mingle in the raost affec-
tomato sociality, and give tho most conclusive
evidence that they consider themselves men and
brothers." It will be motley assemblRgc. Un-
principled demagogues and political aspirants'
with white skins but dark hearts, will 60 arm in
arm with the fragrant negro. They will have
good time generally, and put forth Constitution
by which the people of South Carolina are to be
governed. But the life of all that this wrstched
conclnvo may do and say, will be but span long;
for. although Stevens and Sumner may not bo-
lieye it. there is such thing as honesty even in
peltics; and the great heart of the American
neoplc brutalized as it has been by war and its
attendant evils, still throbs responsive to high
and generous sentiments, and will, in the end,
spurn the Shiny twistings of reptile dsmagogucs,
who have crawlcd, not scared, into place and
power.
AS regards the payment of the expenses Of tho
South Carolina Convention, we opine there will
bo no such difficulty us in Georgia. Gov. JENKINS
and Gov ORR UNFORTUNATELY for the fame of the
latter think differently on certain subjects.
And as regards tho Convention expenses Of two
of the delegates from Edgefeld, Harris and FL
lott, VIC understand that they are already paid /;
upwards of two hundred dollars having been
lately contributed for that purpose by the Union
Republican Club" which perpetrates its doings at
this place. And this at the request of those dele
gates shams and Humbugs. Bot perhaps
when the expenses of this Convention are other
wise paid, this two hundred dollars will be re-
funded to the stupid and starving negroes who
contributed it And if in the long run, these
Constitution makers should not be able to meet
their expenses, we would advise them either to
call upon the Rov. Beechcr to take up collection
in his Church, or resort to lottery enterprise to
get them out of their financial trouble. At oil
events we hope there will be no moro useless and
hypocritical robbing of the already-too-destitute

Gem. Wagener,s Report.

We publish this week the Report of Gen. JoHs
A. WAGNER, Commissioner of Immigration for
South Carolina. The Bureau of immigration in
our State was naugurated only in February last,
but even in this short time Gen. WAGNER and
his agents have accomplished much in the way
of organization and actual results. The Report
of which VIC speak is very interesting document,
unaffected, cloar, succinct- Nothing, in our hum
bio opinion, is moro absolutely necessary to the
interest and prosperity of South Carolina than
the continuance and energetic upholding Of this
Bureau; for the question of Southern labor is
undoubtedly subject of far greater importance
than aven tho political reconstruction Of the
American Union.
The negro has had fair trial, and it has been
sufficiently demonstrated that he is unreliable
and adds neither wealth nor interest to the coun-
try. Under those circumsances, it is well that
landed proprietors, men Of enterprise aad capital
and those who have tho future prosperity of the
South at heart, should be devising ways and
means whereby the vacuum created by emanci
patton can be supplied, and prosperity restored
Time will rectfy our political difficulties, but il
requires energy, enterprise and capital to restore
our industrial prosperity.
To give value to land wo must have dense
and thrifty population, allied with the soil by
interest. Land is always cheap whore labor i
scarce and unreliable. The object then, Of our
people, should be to induce the settlement among
US of reliable, thrifty population, and cause
them to be identified in interest by becoming
landed proprietors.
Therefore VIC suy, let the propretors of tho soil
offer landed inducements for foreign labor, and
they will not only procure faithful labor, but en-
hauco tho valuo Of their lands ten fold. It is the
only salvation of the country, and the sooner the
people stare the fact in the face, and appreciate
it properly, the bettor it will be for ali interests
" Procrastination is tho thief of time" If VIC
dilly daily with the present worthless labor popu
laton, hoping against hope, thati CON yet be
mado available, the country will be irretrievably
ruined.

salary, which, in the impoverished state of the
country, is tho only means left to me for the sup
port of my family.
I trust it is only necessary to bring to your no.
tico the fact that the judge has property in his
Office, and that during his suspension, ho cannot
be legally deprived Of its emoluments.
As have no idea that your purpose is to inaict
personal injury on one who, trust, has shown
him solf as jealous and honest in the discharge of
his duties as you have in the discharge of yours,
therefore respectfully submit this question to
your moro mature consideration, in the hope that,
upon investigating the legal proposition, you will
see you hare unintentionally done IN injustice.
