AN OLD RESIDENT GoNE.-Abel Laf.
lin, probably for the longest time a resi-.
dent of Georgia, died there on the Sth
instant, at the age of 50 years. He moved
to Georgia at the age of two years, and
therefore had been resident of the town
for 81 years. He was one of the few mer
left resident there who did service in the
war of 1912. His wife survives him, al
the age of So years, and several children
also, four of whom, three daughters and
one son, are residents of Georgia.
Miss Deborah Hathaway, who went to
Georgia about the same time as Mr.. Laf
lin, is still living there, at the age of 81
years.

An Important Question.

We have been for some time expecting
some movement with reference to the right
of the southern negroes to be represented
in the Chicago Radical Convention, and
have 1--WE doubt not rightly suspected that
the Radicals were striving to keep them
out. At last, however, q bubble comes W
from the submerged, just indicating where
they are--anop they will rise up to the
surface and demand their rights. They
are enfrauchised for the express purpose
of voting for President, and it would be a
great outrage to deny them the right to
have something to say in the matter of Sc
lecting their candidate
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, a
Conservative Republican paper, calls at
tention to this matter as "dilemma y for
the Radicals. The Advertiser says:
"it Is simply whether the southern States
shall be represented in the approaching Ma
tional Conventions OF the two great parties TO
nominate candidates for President and Vice.

Radicals and Immigration.

The Radicals are expressing certain ny.
pocritical views on immigration to this
State and the South that reflect only theil
own mcanness-their INSCRIPTIONS deter
mination to wreck and ruin every interest
in the land rather than give up their power
in the Government.
The sinistcr-eyed appropriation oe other
mems goods, who harangued the negroes in
the African church Monday night, expatia-
ted most Dramatically upon this point.
According to his theory we have, first, the
best laborer in the world; second, we
should want none other; third, we can get
no other; fourth, the negro is to live with
us forever!
Thus the population of the South must
not be Increased by immigration. The
northern States must absorb oil the vast
tide flowing to these shores. 1t is deemed
a folly for US ever to desire share Of that
immigration. 1t is held up as a sort Of
moral offence against mankind for US to
entertain any such desire. And upon
what principle of justice rests this idea
that the North, with its dense populations,
must have all the immigrants, and the
South, with its uncutivated lands, its
sparse population, and insufficient labor,
shall not undertake to supply its demands
for labor-to fill up its vacant territory
and develop its mineral resources ! How
can so monstrous. a proposition be- de-
Tended upon any rational principle
The scheme is iniquitous, and its pur-
poses are atrocous. The Radicals have
determined to set up the ten southern
States as Radical through the negro vote
They know that under the process of i'm.
migration these States may soon cease to
be Radical: therefore, the negro is the
greatest of laborers for us-the best Of
citizens for us-and VIC ought not to dc.
sire anything but to live with him for al
time! This object was at the bottom O

vcntion few days since to prohiDlt LOT
eigners from voting for ten gears alte'

may be permanently Radicalized for the

General Butler-The Convention.

There was high scene in the Conven
ton yesterday on the occasion of receiv
ing General BUTLER. There was little tx
flatter in the circumstances of the recep
ton. But the great AUToLYcUs of the
nation knows that he passed through
time when thrift came only to the unjust
man and when fortune was opposed tc
honesty If from succumbiDg to the
"force of circumstances" some people
may deny him the honors due to honesty
and virtue, he can console himself with
the more "solid" rewards Of timely saga
city and o not over -scrupulous conscience.
Of course no one could suppose that
the Conservatives in the Convention
could be guilty of indecorum upon the re-
ception of almost any other distinguished
northern man. However disagreeable the
bestowing of honors on some might be,
they would leave it to the majority and
passively acquiesce. But there is an eff
frontery in the appearance of this particu-
lar man here that could not fail to arouse a
generous indignation. Even Two of the
most able of the Radical members left the

and wish of the President, in vloiatic1 OF
all past usage, and in utter contempt OF the
shirt of the Constitution and the dignity
and integrity of the Executive Depart
ment. General GRANT yielded to the law
of Congress. Indeed, he is supposed to
be enlisted under the congressional dag,
and persons who presume to speak for him
saw now that he held the office of Secre-
tary of War ad interim merely for pru-
dental motives, believing his taking and
holding it to be illegal. If that be, In
deed, o sample Of his own sense of duty as
a citizen and man Of honor, he will make
patent Radical.
This is the first case under the "Tenure-
of-oflicc" law in which Congress has exer-
ciscd its usurped power of forcing back
upon the Executive an officer he had found
it necessary to " suspeDd"-as we have to
call it. What the President will do re-
mains to be seen.
Like the spider, the Congress, in Its de-
liberate process of tieing its two fiies-the
other departmcnts-int the web is bestow'ng
alternately its attentions upon them. 10
wind the Supreme Court up, it proposes to
require two-thirds Of q full bench to de-
eide case involving the constitutionality
of a law of Congress A proceeding indi-
eating determination not to be thwarted
in usurpations and outrages upon the Con-
stitution. 1t is known that this provision
insures Congress against any interference
between it and its bad objects, from the
court. Had this not been sufficient, the
unanimous vote of the court or any Other
condition necessary to the attainment 0
the end would have been required! Re
construction and Rehabilitation of tel
States must be carried through, and tina
quick The New York Times, speaking 0
this movement, says with spirit and truth
"No more significant commentary OF
the reconstruction legislation-no more
startling illustration Of the unscrupulous
ness which actuates the Radical leaders,
can be conceived than that which this affair
affords. The cowardice, as we'll as tht
bravado of guilt, is stamped upon its face
1t shows an utter absence of confidence IL
the constitutional efficacy of the measure:
which are applicable to the South, and ar
utter want of moral courage to uphold the
principles that are involved"
1t is not depressing to thoughtful minds
to behold the revolution advancing. The
solution will be speedy and decisive in pro-
portion to the rapidiy Of its progress.

Exactly. But can the party get rid OF

natural and irresistible result Of its own
principles and policy? Are the negroes
SO stupid as not to perceive thisf See
how apt they are to avail themselves OF all
the privileges and rights accorded to them
by the Congress. The Radicals supposed
that when they bestowed on the negro the
right to vote he would BIO content with
that, and would vote to fill the Offices with
"mean white Radicals. But they found
themselves very much mistaken, and In
that particular Radical reconstruction has
gone very much awry. The negro, having
power, determined to profit by it, and get
"per diem" and perquisites, to the disap-
pointment of many hungry and greedy
white knayes who had planned to fasten
themselves, like leeches, upon the treasu-
| ries Of the southern States.
