GOVERNOR JOE Brown ON THE RAM
pAGE.-Governor Joe Brown, Of Geor-.
gia, Radical, writes now that the /" flag"
is in danger, the election Of Grant and
Collax is the "only security" against
"scenes of carnage" and that the South
ern leaders arc ready to "precipitate
the issue all Of which is I" important
if true" In 1860, during secession
times, Governor Brown kindly tele-
.graphed to MI. Toombs, in this city,
tfhat Fort Pulaski avos IN DANGER" and,
behold, only few hours elapsed before
he had precipitated the issue by seiz-
inc # for the rebels, and hauling down
the United States flag. We hope his
present alarming announcement will
n not be followed by any similar, demon
strations on his part; but no man who
has ever seen the corners Of his mouth
would trust him out of his sight. Con-
sidering that he took the ground, on
the stump, that negroes were not eligl-
BILE to office under the Georgia consti-
tuition, it is certainly a very curious
coincidence that the negroes should SO
soon be expelled by n Legislature so
thoroughly Radical that it was ready
Z to confirm this fellow Brown for Su-
preme Court Judge. We advise Mr..
Greedy to keep an eye on him, and We
do not wonder that at the Chicago Con
vention the Kisses and applause for this
distinguished secessionist were about
balanced. National Intelligencer.

State against anybody for preaching the
Gospel without taking the oath, or if
