RADICAL COALITION.

The Montgomery Advertiser copies an
article from the Atlanta Constitution and
| says
The above article taken from the At
Ianta Constitution, throws light upon O.
matter that we had not before clearly
comprehendcd. In truth, the monaco
lion of the State Democratic Committee
of Georgia in the absence Of quorum,
seemed to us to indicate fabulous
want ofinterest in the true welfare of
the State which presented to our mind
gloomy and painful picture. But it
appears the Democratic Committee has
resorted to non-action as the best means
of checking Chief Justice Joe Brown
than whom it would be difficult to find
moro thorough political knave, in any
community, North or South-in an
adroit scheme for radicalizing Georgia,
under the prctencc Of forming Grant
Party in that State, and securing rep
rcsentation in Congress.
What the Radical Party at Washing
ton desires above everything else, is
the ratification by the States, Of the fif-
tecnth Amendment. There is not a
schcming conspirator among them all
who is not convinced that should this
Amendment fail to be Incorporated into
the Constitution under color of ratiG-
cation, that they and their party arc
necessarily lost. The Revolution by
which they have sought to overthrow the
old Government, would then have cX-
pended its force, without having abso-
lutely accomplished the anticipated re-
suit, and reaction would then set in.
They perceive that the Amendment
is in serious danger as they now tremb-
Iingly admit; and this precious scamp
of Georgia Chief Justice expects to be
well rewarded, if he can 50 combine the
corrupt elements of Georgia politics as
to secure its ratification by the next Leg
islaturc. 1t was for this very purpose
that recently, as a Judge Of the SUI
prone Court of the State, he somew hat
unexpectedly decided in favor of negro
eligibility to Office 10y an absurd inter
probation Of the 14th Amendment. His
object was 10 present to the considcra-
ton of the people of Georgia the idea
that the ratification of the 9th Amend
ment was already practically determined
by his judicial construction of the 18th.
1t was simply TO make easy the ratifica-
ton of the 10Th.
The plot is now being fully de, clipped,
and we are glad to sec that it is being
fairly exposed. Of course no sound
Democrat in the State will suffer him
self to be corrupted or intimidatcd, and
mislcd into fatal error; but unfortunate
", the Legislature is not democratic,
and our experience proves that consid-
cradle portion of the white people of
Georgia have no stomachs for persis-
tent struggle for Principle and great Ill
terror good, when by abandoning Prih-
cipIc they imagine themselves in the
way of graSpins certain material advan-
tages, however dclusive such an idea
may really be. 1t will be interesting to
watch the course Of events.

Recommendations Reed,
of Florida, is at his home in Wisconsin,
4 simple announcement like this, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, which we find
"goiug the rounds" in our exchanges,
tells all that could be told in volume of
the atrocities of Radical reconstruction.
Here is a fellow whose ''homc" is in
Wisconsn-hi5 interest thcro-his SYM
pathies all with the people of the North
west-who, some months ago, seized his
carpet bag, migrated to Florida, and by
negro votes and yrannical Federal in
reference, is set to rule State in the
prosperity and welfare of whose people
he has not the remotest interest. And
this "Governor Reed" is only fair
sample of the thousands of carpct-bag-
gers who have descended upon the
South, like swarm of Egyptian locusts
to devour the substance of the land
The people of the South have reason to
thank Heaven that at length the day APP
proaches when many more of these fell
lows will be permitted to go "home" to
Wisconsin and elsewhere. -Sau. Rep.

LIBERALS.

That is the name of the proposed new
party. Conservatism wont do; ii smacks
of devotion to old principles. Democra-
cy wont do; it tells Of State rights and a
Federal Constitution. Liberalism buries
the past it accepts the situation and if
cxpedient the liberal party may STEP
upon the radical platform and kick its
constructors off. Such seems to be the
programme of the new party move
ment, and the only issue it presents oil
leaves with radicalism is "wdo shall en-
Joy the spoils ?"

CHINESE IsnuGRATIoN.-The Ken
lucky papers have published letter
from Hon. r. NJ. 7. Hunter on Chinese
immigration, written to gentleman
who had solicited his views on the sub
iect. Mr.. II. does not regard this class
of population desirable in Virginia or
Kentucky, but thinks it may be of great
service in the cotton, rice and sugar
States. lie is of opinion that the ques-
ton of whether the Chinese are to come
will settle itself, under the great natural
law of self-intercst, irrespective of the
views of politicians or the legislation OF
Congress.
The Louisville Coarier-JJ oss3st;3 speaks
very favorably of the economical, indus
trial and social habits of the Chinese.
Mr.. Pcndlcton says their industry and
economy are synonyms of disciplined
slavery. That they have not our man
ners, tastes, habits, development or re-
ligion and will prove another disturbing
social clement in our affairs.

THE BANNER OF THE SOUTH

Speaking of democratic principles
and in connection Herewith of negro
office Gliding says, democratic scnti-
ment is united upon the docNnc that
this is "white mans government" and
upon this doctrine future political con-
tests must be fought until the question is
finally and irrcvocably settled. 1t is
the doctrine of the people of the North,
and upon it its advocates and defenders
can and must unite. The Negr6 cannot
hold office in Georgia. He cannot
rightfnlly hold office in any State. In
all his rights he must be protected; but
in his encroachments upon the rights of
the superior race he must be resisted
There should be no half way ground or
temporizing, compromising policy on
this point. He that is not for us is
against us; and he who, for the sake of
a so-callcd peace, or for the greed of
office, would yield this point to the Rad
ical enemies of the South, is the worst
of enemies. Let us stand firm together
Jet us be united in our counsels and
in our action, and Right must and will
triumph"

NJ. SAY, in his Political Economy
says, ''thc soldier is not only a non
producer of utilities but destroyer OF
them" May there not be some error
IN these estimates of the soldier, and
NAV there not be some rational founda-
ton for the popular homage universally
paid to his hcroism? lie is destroyer
of utilities undoubtedly; but is he a
non-prodaccr of them? Society can
not be organized without some sort OF
government, and government becomes
the highest of social utilities. Now if
the soldier, as in the case of Washing
ton, OF Napoleon, gives to social life the
power of organization is he not worthy
of the highest homage paid to bencfac-
tors2
The soldier cannot yet be dispensed
with in lbe order of human progress ;
mankind arc not sufficiently enlightened
to do without him; and yet, we must
agree, and every true soldier must agree

nal, and mourn and not rejoice over those
fields of carnage and ruin sometimes
seemingly unavoidable in the solution of
great social problems. The Soldier
may always doubt whether what he has
done was the best that could have been
done; he may always know that" he is
stepped to the very lips in barbarity

PETROLEUM DEPOSITS OF TIE Car
oAsUs.-One of the most remark able
deposits of petroleum is in the region OF
the Caucasus Mountains. The oil SPRINGS
have been known and the oil collected
there (by skimming) for ages. On the
eastern shore of the Caspian 10000 wells
all of them quite shallow, are now skim
med. The wells are often quite close to
each other, and new one does not effect
the productiveness of another near it
One sunk in 1868 by the very side of an
other, which had for centuries produced
], 400 ponnds per day, yielded 10000
pounds per day without effecting in the
least the other. The American method
has lately introduced, and flowing wells
have burst forth from depth of 25O feet
which have, until controlled. maintained
a Jet from forty to sixty feet high. 1t is
calculated that 100000 pounds are
annually produced in the Caucasus re-
glon' while 100000 pounds of psrafine
are no" made from asphaltum.
