HAWKINS, Judge

The Atlanta, Ga, correspondent Of the
New York Tines writes under date of
January q as follows;
'The Savannah negro, Bradley, made
speech to-day which made many enemies
to reconstruction, and will make thousands
of enemies in the State. He made the dis
tinct threat that if the people dared to
refuse to ratify the proceedings of the con-
vention, the burning Of Atlanta and the
march of Sherman through Georgia would
be but foretsste of what his race and the
United States army would do to Georgia.
Of course this worse than brutal threat
was not rebuked by the white Radicals in
the convention. They meanly sat still
and heard this disgusting TRADE without
uttering a murmur of dissent

SPOON BUTLER ON NEwspAPERs.

in that city.

The New Orleans Times reviyes the fol-
lowing "Reminiscences of Beast Buffers reign
in that city:
After General Butler had issued his
proclamation of Ist May, 1862, in which
be prescribed the rights and duties Of the
population Of this captured city, he was
called upon by a committee of the press of
the city, with view Of inducing MIN TO
render more definite the clauses of the
proclamation referring TO the terms on
which newspapers could be conducted.
The gentlemen Of the press stated the
object of their mission, and assuming that
the General did not intend after guaran~
teeing the rights Of person and property to
the people Of the city, to impose condi-
tions which would prevent the publication
Of newspapers, requested an answer to their
proposition. Thereupon the General arose
with all the port and consequence of
practical stump speaker, and with The con-
seriousness of his power and security, with
one eye resting on the six barreled reyol-
yer on the table, and the other CHANGING at
the whole regiment of infantry under arms
visible from the window, and delivered
himself of the following notable explosion
Of his peculiar style of Democracy and
progress.
Gentlemen, before reply to the inqui-
ry you have addressed to me, should be
pleased to hear from you, or any one else,
a satisfactory argument to remove from my
mind a very strong conviction that the
world would be morally, Intellectually and
politically benefited, if there was not a
single newspaper in existence p
Pausing for reply, one of the gentle.
nen answered, ave do not come TO you
TO discuss that question, but would suggest
that if You limit your proposition by the
proviso that political demagogism should
also cease with the press, it would be difi~
cult for us successfully TO combat your con-
viction. Certainly ifthere were no design
ing demagogues, there would be really less
need for any newspapers than there now is
in the country, with such an excess ofthat
pestilent class of disturbers and democrat
izers of the popular ideas and sentiments"
The General was so much disgusted with |
this answer, that he determined TO take
possession of all the newspapers in the city
and run them on his own account. As long
az they were used to advocate his purposes
and ideas, his convictions in regard to the
power and utility of the press, as political
engine, became fixed and determined; but
when they opposed him they were worse
than useless.

Tur Dayton (Obiol To,ornoJ mentio,

THE Dayton Ohio Journal mentions
some of the incidents which enlivened a
coon-hunt at Phillipsburg, in that vicinity,
on Sunday morning, the 18th ult. A coon
was freed, thetree felled, and coach dog be-
longing toa young man named Skyles seized
the coon. The latter was getting the best Of
the fight, when Miner Walker, in attempting
TO make a diversion in favor of the dog
with a stick, struck the latter accidentally
and killed him. Skyles was enraged at the
death of his dog, and felled Walker with a
club, knocking him senseless. Jacob Mil
ton, friend of Walker, seized the axe with
with which the tree was felled, and chopped
into Skyles' shoulder. Whereupon Daniel
Crow drew revolver and shot Milton on
the right shoulder, wounding him severesa
ly. The party were subsequently arrested.

AMONG the victims of the Angola disas-
ter was Mr.. J. p. Hayward, of State Line,
who was in the employ of the Railroad
Company as their agent at that place. The
Painsyille (Ohio) Advertiser gives an ac-
count Of a strange dream-for the correct
ness of which it vouches-which Hr. Hay
ward had just ak months before he lost
his life. IL says: He dreamed that he
was away from home, in a desert, when
suddenly he heard 4 terrific crash, saw
bright light which seemed to reach the
heavens, and heard screams and yells of
the most frightful character. On looking
about him he saw a personage-a monk,
he thought-and inquired where all that
noise came from. From hell 4 answered
the monk. The dreamer asked, what
does il meanT The monk replied, 1t
means that you must instantly diep Mr..
Hayward then told the monk that he was
not yet prepared to die, and begged for
further time The monk finally said,
Your prayer is granted; you may live
upon earth six months longer at the ex~
piration of that time you shall diel' Just
then Mr.. Hayward was awakened by his
wife, who was alarmed at her husbands
actions, he sitting up in bed and being
greatly agitated. The dream made a great
impression upon his mind, and wasthe SUBJ
ject of frequent conversations with his
friends for a time, but at length passed
from his mind. On precisely the last day
of the six months he purchased life in
surance ticket for $4,000, took passage on
the Inflated train for Buffalo, and was
numbered among the victims at Angola"

HOUSE BILLS ON FIRST READING.

A bill authorizing the Governor to se-
lect such newspaper as he may prefer for
the publication of all legal notices. Passed
and referred TO the Judiciary Committee.
An act to remove all disabilities for hold
ing office and sitting on juries, on account
of race or color.
Mr.. Frierson said that whileth the sixteenth
section was not up for discussion, yet the
bill under discussion was virtual repeal
OF 1t, and as that section is considered
part of the franchise law, we cannot
touch it by legislative enactment, but can
only reach it by convention of the peo>
pie. He thought that the tendency of this
legislation is to encourage a conflict be-
tween races, and when this conflict does
come the colored man will vote for the
colored man, and the white man will vote
for his race. While it is true that there
are some very Intelligent colored men in
the cities, the great majority are unedu-
Gated and ignorant, and would elect men
of similar character to gil the Offices
where they have majority.
Mr.. Mathews advocated the bill with
energy and Vehemence, declaring it to be
but an act of Justice to clothe the colored
man with the robes of Office. He had
trusted the colored men thousand times,
and had never been disappointed by them.
He said the bill did not touch the franchise
bill, and that it had been the glory and
honor of the Republican party of Tennes-
see TO have enfranchised the colored people,
and by their votes we had given the largest
Republican majority ever given in this
State.
Mr.. Patterson spoke against the bill as
follows:
/ would say that / am one of the mem-
bers who voted for the odious 10th section,
in the last General Assembly, whom the
gentleman stigmatizes as a weakened
Union man. He should recollect that it
was in consequence of this act he is per-
mitted to hold his seat in this body, and
stand to-day in defense of that polite body
of men who have been tried in the eruci-
bic, as were the three Hebrews who refused
TO render obedience to that which they be-
lieved to be wrong. The colored men met
the caluranies and threats of the ConseIya
tive press, and bride after bride were Of
fered them, but they faced that tornado and
followed what they believed to be right.
The 18th section is part of the cohstitu-
ton, and we can only remove it in lawful
way and no legislative enactment, how
ever much its friends may desire il, can
ever effect a part of the constitution.
Mr.. Lyle offered an amendment, TO the
effect that all disabilities for holding Office
on white or black men should be removed,
and applying the 10th article of the amend
ed constitution to all white men of this
L,xf lad of nrdor

Sullivan, who had attained the age of
eighty-six years, IS usual, did good days
work on Saturday. AT night he went TO
his nome, large double log house, ate a
hearty meal, and seemingly, IN the best of
health, retired to rest. About midnight
he rose from his bed, crossed the wide hall
that separated the two rooms, woke up the
members of the family and told them that
he Uds dying, at the same time shaking
hands with each one of the inmates and
bidding them a final farewell he then
went back to the room from whence he
came, woke up his grandson, shook hands
with him and told him also that he was
dying after 90 doing he seated himself in

change, his limbs relaxed, while a thick
film gathered over his eyes. He was taken
from the chair, and placed upon the bed
near by, but alas, the spirit Of the old man
had forever hed from its casket Of clay
His only remark, after bidding the family
farewell, was that he seemed to be choking.
