GOING Await is with much regret that
we make the announcement Of the intended
departure hence, to-day. Of DR.. Willard G.
Wayman and wife. They are going away
with the intention of making their residence
either in California or one Of the Eastern
States-at any rate, they are quitting the
sage-brush to live in some more inviting re-
sl1n. We express the sense Of their neigh
bors and many friends when we say that the
removal Of DR.. Wayman and wife from
among US is deeply regretted. The esteem
4 which they are held here ard the pleasant
associations which are part Of their family
history, tend to promote this feeling in no
common degree. For ourselves and on be-
half Of their acQuaintances and associates
N Carson, we wish them pleasant voyages
wherever they may go, and promise them
hearty welcome home" should they ever
return among us.

FIRE ALARM-A "WAsHING OCT."-A
little after o'clock last evening an alarm Of
fire was caused by the burning Of some bar
rels in a lot in rear Of house Of gilt
frame on King street just above the New
York Bakery. In their eagerness to subdue
the devouring element, the tremen directed
copious and lively stream Of water unon the
burning mass; and the house in question
being IN immediate range Of the FIRE, sustain
ed considerable wetting, greatly to the
wrath of the female who is its tenant We
should be sorry if our fremen were TO be
guilty Of anything like an unwarrantable
outrage upon an unprotected female " viz
tuous or otherwise ; but If prostitutes will
make nuisances of themselves BY plying their
degraded avocations right under the eyes of
decent people and families, we hope they may
be deluged till they cant rest. Them's our
sentiments.

BAPTIsM.-The discussion, at the Metho-
dist Church, last evening, in relation to the
administration Of the ordinance of baptism
TO infants, was listened to by an audience
numbering about one hundred persons. By
vote of those present it seemed the greater
number favored the view taken by the
Mormon Elder, as opposed to that advocated
by the Methodist clergyman. Another
branch of the same subject, we are informed,
will be discussed this evening, same hour
and place as on previous evenings.

fine spirits and enthusiastic in behalf
of their principles and their candidates.
The fine Brass Band was in fun atten-
dance and treated the large audience
withseveral fine tunes. Judge Ryan and
Hon. w. w. Wilmington were the Or
ators Of the occasion, and as matter
of course, acquitted themselves hand
somely. This Club is making prepar-
atoms for the Torelllight Procession
and intend doing the handsome thing
on that gala OCCASION.

The State Seminary.

We are pleased to learn that the
State Seminary opened with large
accession to its number of cadets
Within a few days after the commence
ment OF the session considerably over
one hundred had matriculated and ev-
cry boat that has arrived since has
brought some additions to the number.
The prospects of the Institution for a
full session are brighter than at any
previous opening. As the crops begin
to be sent to the market, and more
money to circulate among our impov-
erished people, we shall hope to see
our State Institution reap the full ben
efits of the increasing prosperity of the
country. ~

all previous ones sink into insignifi-

such one! With us every thing we
hold dear and sacred is at stake, and
nothing but our own supiness and indif-
ference can cause our defeat and conse-

President, so sure are we lost as a free

The Niger and the Georgia Rad
icals,

The papers have recently had much
to say about the expulsion of the Rad
ical members from the Legislature of
Georgia. The act was placed on the
high ground that no negro is eligible
to a seat in that body. It has been
generally believed that the act was
contaminated by the Democratic men,
bers alone, and that the Radicals did
nothing in the matter which would for
felt their claim to be considered the
peculiar friends of the black man, and
the jealous custodians of his civil and
political rights. But careful analysis
of the vote will reveal the fact that the
Radicals have been guilty of base
outrage upon their negro allies whom
they have used as long rs they needed
their services and have discarded when
they could be of no further assistance
to them. 1t seems that there were
eighty-five Radical members in the
Legislature, and that the Radicals had
a large majority in the Senate. The
Radicals, therefore, having the control
of the house, had it in their power to
prevent the passage of the resolution if
they had SO desired. But so far from
coming to the rescue of their friends,
we find that only twenty-tl,ree white
carpet-baggers out of the whole number
in the Legislature were found willing
to vote for the retention of the col0red
members in their seats. The Legisla-
ture of Georgia has declared that no
negro can hold Office in that State, and
it has SO declared with the aid of q
carpet-bag Senate and of three-fourths
of all the carpet-bag members in both
houses.
When we consider the peculiar time
and manner OF this decision, it will be
seen to be one of the coolest transac-
lions on record. When the Legislature
met the negro members, including the
outlaw Bradley, were the special pets
Of the Radicals. They were found
ready tools in helping the Northern
carpet-baggers and scalawags into all
the fat offices, but when there were no
more Offices to fill, the carpet baggers
turned upon their confederates and ex-
PEELED them from their seats. They
have thus given such an Interpretation
to the law that the great body of the
Radical voters, who are negroes, will
be forever excluded from the offices,
leaving them to be filed by the hand
full of Northern carpet-bag adventu-
rers and native scalawags who happen
to tread the soil of Georgia. Every
carpet-bagger will therefore have an
Office, while the negroes will have
nothing to do except to go through the
form Of voting them into fat places
How long viii the negroes submit to
this treatment at the hands of their
new friends7
It is given out at the North that one
Of the objects of the called session of
Congress is to take into consideration
this action of the Georgia Legislature.
This will present a new phase of the
reconstruction question. If Georgia is
. State how can Congress regulate the
qualifications of office-holders within
her limitsa The Constitution confers
no such power, and even the 18th
amendment confers the right, under
certain penalties, to deny the right Of
suffrage to persons ION account of race
or color"
