NEW POLITICAL PARTY. A meet.

day evening; of certain parties, male
and female, who have had some 10
cal celebrity as supporters of social
science projects to construct a new
political party. An address was
agreed to which deplored the cor,
ruption existing in Government, in
tinauees and in society at large, and
proposed as remidy eitdcr political
action or reorganization of labor,
upon the principle of mutuaiinterest.
1t suggested that Government
should start industries, giving em.
ployment TO all who desired it, and
that, i'll the meantime, joint stock
associations for mecanical and az

new party are the right eff every man

HON. NELSON TIT

At late reception in Albany, Geor-
gia, spoke we'll ofthc Presidents regards
for the South:
"The President he said is not our
enemy and to his views, warmly and
theoretically expressed, we are much
indebted for six months respite from con-
gressional interference. Mr.. Grant is
an honest, earnest man, and the best
friend the South has in a position to her
her any good. He believed he would go
as far as he dared so and escape being
Johnsonized, to restore peace, tranquil
ty and good government to the Soath.-
Our people owe him debt of gratitude,
and if they continue 20 pursue their
peaceful vocations, and to maintain and
uphold the laws as they have done since
the Presidential election, they will have
no cause to complain of his administra-
ton"

An Important Legal Decision.

In the last issue of the Athens Ban
ner, VIC notice the following important
legal decision upon the Homestead"
question:
''At Franklin Superior Court, the
present week, Judge Davis decided that
the Homestead law is unconstitutional.
The case was an action against Mr.. Pull
liam, on judgment obtained, in 1867.
Mr.. P. applied for homestead excmp-
ton, which was granted. The Sheriff
proceeded to levy on his land, in defiance
Of the Homestead law, when the defend
ant interposed with an affidavit of lille
gality, which was returned to the Court.
This brought the constitutionality of the
law directly before court. Judge Davis
decided that there being judgment
lien at the time the law passed, the
property could not be protected, and or
dcred the plea of illegality dismissed, and
the execution to proceed. Col. Aker-
man made an able argument in support
of tue motion to dismiss, and against the
homestead, and Col. Thurman and Capt.
McMillen were employed by Mr. Pulliam
to sustain the law, and set up the afi-
davit Of illegality.'

SUCH IS TIE ISSUE.

We copy the following paragraphs
from the late speech of ANDREW JoHN-
SON at Nashville, Tenn. 1t presents
justly the great issue before the Amcri-
can people:
'tYou know that they used to denounce
me as demagogue because | advocated
the rights of the people and popular gov
eminent, expressed through the Constitu-
tion and law. say my faith is still un-
broken. | believed that without vio-
lcnce, without blood, prcjudiccs will be
removed and the people willrally around
the Constitution and rescue it from its
despolcrs. The battle that | am fight
ing in the last years of my life, is one
that | commenced in my early life.
When the rebellion commenced | was

was. Voice, that's; so. / am now for
fighting the battle under the Constitu-
ton and for the Constitution, and upon
that principle intend to fight on and
forever, until the last pulsation of my
heart shall beat.
That is the true place to fight the bat
tie. Then where is the true place your
Government is goingg When became

that one department would not seize the

would come forward and right this great
wrong.

ON THE MOVE.

A general order from Washington
moves the troops now on duty in Florida
to Nebraska; those in Louisiana to the
Northern Lakes; those in Texas to Kan
sas and Virginia those in Virginia to
Mississippi and California from Cali
fornia regiment goes to Kentucky; from
Kentucky regiment comes to Georgia;
another regiment from Dakotah is to be
quartcred upon us; and so on and so
forth. The New York World, regard
ing these changes searches for the mo-
tive, and finds It to be the old drama OF
imperialism played in a pretended Re-
publican theatre. The World says:
"Whcrcfore is the whole United States
army thus sent trapping all over the
country from one extreme end of it to
the other? What is the reason of this
great expense to transport so many thou
sand men SO far, and wherefore is it that,
at the on-coming of Southern summer,
acclimated troops are Withdrawn from
its influences and. unacclimatcd sent in
their steadg
eve will tell you. 1t is because the
army will not do the dirty work of recon-
struction as soon as itsecs how very mean
that work is, There is no disobc dience,
no mutiny; but they see and teel that
they are white men, put there to exalt
the negro above other white men, and
they cannot be relied on to do it. Here
and thore, some officer who disgraccs an
honorable calling, enters into this filthy
business CON amore, but, for the great
part, there is a mere still compliance
with the exact letter of the order, and no
more.
'Hencc all this marching and counter
marching, and skurrying this regiment
off to Dakotah and t'other one back to
Texas. 1t is the same sale old tale to
be found in any good history which treats
of the little lodges of despoti.m. 1t was
part of the Roman polity to send the
Syrian levics to Cappadocia and the Cap
padocians to Syria--but never to let them
stay with friendship, and always keep
moving your troops. In the corrupt
days Of the French monarchy, just be-
fore Louis XVI was pulled out of his
throne and bcheadcd, it was chief func-
ton of the Minister of War to change
the troops. Prior to his days, it was
James IFS device to put his English. rcgi-
mcnts in Ireland and his Irish troops on
English soil. And Just so now. Some
thing is due, no doubt, to army likes and
dislikes, but the main point in this general
order is as stated. There is work to be
done in the South. Eight rogue Senators
are to be logged in; thirty-eight rclia-
bic Representatives arc to be elected; !
the screws are to be frightened in the
sacred name of peace; and to do this
dirty work men must be had who will
not find out what they arc doing until
tso late. What testimony to the un-
uterabIe scoundrclism of this vile thing J!
Army officers and Indifferent of men in
civil affairs, cannot but revolt at this
botch upon statc-craft; and army pri-
Yates, drilled into machines, are not yet
so far drilled but that the blood in their
veins ,ebels at the unnatural work they
arc set to do"

SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE.

N~~~~~~~~ @~~A ~~~~~s
There is not much advantage in being
prophet, especially political prophet.
To have forseen in 1860 that Secession
was going to smash up things generally
for the South was no good to the seer.
Better for him if he had not been wiser
than his day and generation if he had
only kept up and moved on with the
current of popular opinion and shared
alike in the errors and misfortunes Of
his fellows.
So there was no advantagc-no good
lin foresceing that government
founded upon the principle Of force, and
such government the Unised States
became, as the result of, and at the close
of, the war, would make all constitution
al provisions subordinate to its will or
in still further foreseeing that this SUI
preme will would probably find concen-
tration and unity in an Empire. 1t is
as well to anticipate nothing-to await
the development of events in the newt
able social evolution--to keep in sym
patty with the popular current, or sub
ordinate to the dominant arbitrary will,
if the people, are inert or Indifferent to
its supremacy.
With a government recognizing no
limit to its authority and controlled by
the alternate success of factions preying
upon the people, there can be little hope
in the future for liberty, justice, order,
or public virtue. If Senator SpRAGUE
will get up party to restore the Consti-
tuition, the Federal government, and
the sovereignty of States, possibly there
is yet enough intelligenceand virtue in
the people to restore the system of our
Fathers government wisely rcgulat-
ed and founded in the consent of the
governed. Failing in this the day is
not distant when the Empire will not
only become inevitable but desirable.
"But while "coming events cast their
their shadows before" let the South be-
ware. Whether Empire comes by civil
war or without violence we should re-
fleet upon elements which now constitute
the social condition of the South, and
shape our course to the best advantage
accordingly. Caesar will be Indifferent
as to the color of his allies.
"Oh! Liberty! How many crimes
have been committed in thy name" In
the name Of liberty the north drenched
the land with fraternal blood, subvcrtcd
the great charter of American freedom
and ends with tho cry that popular gov
eminent is failure and the proper po-
litical condition of the people is slavery
is, subordination TO arbitrary power"
Such, for good or evil, is the history
of mana history of transition from
despotism to freedom from freedom to
despotism. Hope pointed to the great
American system of freedom and prom
Used permanence, but alas for human
hope, in human affairs, radicalism has
already inscribed e9ete all over the
sacred scroll.
