TIE Radicals have made Z

TIE Radicals have made a des
perate effort TO get the Grant ad-
ministration to recognize Georgia
as an unreconstructed State, and
therefore out of the Union. And
now we are told the administration
is somewhat embarrassed in deter
mining the political status of Geor-
gia, as she was not included in the
supplemental bill, which passed
Congress in the last hours Of the
session, with the States of Virginia,
Mississippi, and Texas; and she is
also not represented in both
branches Of Congress. The Presi-
dent has, therefore, submitted the
question to the Attorney General
for his opinion. 1t is very signifc-
antly stated in Washington letters,
that if the Attorney General shall
decide the State as still out Of the
Union, under the laws of Congress,
it is not improbable that the Presi-
dent will assume that Georgia is in
the cond ition of the other unre-
construc ted States, and recognize
her only as under a provisional
government.

STOKES ORGANS FAVORING UNI
VERSAL SUFFRAGE.

The Chattanooga Republican,
a Stokes organ, comes out squarely
in favor of the restoration of the
franchise to those citizens of the
State who were deprived of it foI
the purpose of retaining power in
the hands of Radicals. That paper
says in it's issue Of June 6
"a writer in the Shclbyville Repu6E,-
can says, 1T seems as if the spirit OF
liberality and charity has overcome and
driven out that other spirit of malice and
bitterness, which has SO long dwelt in
most hearts He says that men are be-
coming more liberal in sentiment, that
the franchise law has filed its mission
by establishing the principles Of repub-
licanism beyond the possibility of
change, except by bloody revolution, and
since all true Republicans have only de-
sired to see and labOred to secure this tri-
umph, many Of them have expressed
themselves in favor of the early en-
franchisement of the ex. Rebel element
He is certainly correct about the true
mission Of the franchise law, and when
that mission is fulfilled 1t should no
longer be the policy of the Republican
party to sustain the law To do so would
be evidence Of selfishness, not Of
craftsmanship, and selfshness of this
kind, instead of preserving the party,
would result eventually IN its more
complete overthrow The Democrats
at the close Of the war defeated them
selves, and deserved to be defeated, by
bowling, in the face of all reason, against
every measure that looked to giving the
negro element of our population a fair
showing in the race of life, and we in
turn may defeat ourselves by permitting
designing men, who have no estate but
Office, and no tenure upon that save
through Acknowledgement, TO lead us into
another extreme These thoughts are
worth the serious consideration Of cur
readers, aud of Republicans throughout
the State"
The Shelbyville Republican came
out editorially the day before
Stokes made his speech here, in favor
of the repeal of the franchise law,
so that there are now two Stokes
organs favoring that policy. We
ask the supporters Of Mr.. Stokes
to ponder what the Chattanooga
Republican says upon this
point. That paper confesses
that the franchise law has accom-
plished its mission, and that its re-
peal is necessary TO preserve the
State, if not the party. However
the friends of Mr.. Stokes may affect
to believe that the time for
- letting in the "Rebels - has not |
vet come, the more honest of his |
supporters are forced to the conclu-
sion that it is bad policy to favor a
of the outrageous re-
strictions upon the right Of suffrage |
which have been peculiar feature
of Radical rule in this State. of
course the men who believe thus
cannot give Stokes that cordial sup
port which they otherwise would,
and thousands who preferred him
on other grounds will support the
man who more nearly reflects their
opinions and wishes touching the
paramount question Of universal
outrage.

IT is remarkably strange that
persistent efforts should be made in
portions Of the South to force negro
equality on the people against their
wishes. The City Council of Wash
ington recently adopted an ordi~
nance requiring that no distinction
of race or color should be observed
in places Of entertainment. The
first opportunity of test the law
arose Monday evening, at the Ma
tional Theatre, where a band of
minstrels were performing. Two
negroes applied for admission but
were promptly refused A warrant
will likely be the result. BID .- Do

THE NEXT APPORTIONMENT.
Loss Of Political Power by the New England
(From the Boston Journal, July 1877


The next census of the United States will
solve an interesting problem regarding the
political power of the several states, as upon
the result of the returns the apportionment of
congress for ten years will be made Thus
far in our history, while no state has declined
| in population, the thriving states of the west
have decreased the number Of our represent
ativcs in congress, and by some persons it is
anticipated that New England will again be
called upon to part with portion of her po-
litcal power This loss involves diminution
Of the number Of her votes in the electoral
college and several minor privileges, such as
appointment of cadets, etc.
The apportionment of members of the house
of representatives has always been subject
of considerable difficulty, arising mainly from
a difference of opinion regarding the proper
number to constitute that body. The fear
that it would prove unwieldy has actuated
some minds in the past to keep its number as
the larger the body the more wisdom there
would be- After the first census was taken a
bill was reported in congress assigning to the
different states the number of representatives.
The decision was somewhat arbitrary, more
regard being paid to influence than to popu-
lation. 1t was proposed to have one hundred
land twenty members. President Washington
returned the bill to the house Of representa-
tives, where it originated, with his objections.
He argued that it produced an inequality in
representation, and that the constitution pro-
vidcd that the number of representatives shall
not exceed one for every 10000, they had
violated that provso by giving to eight Of the
states more than one for that number. Fisher
Ames voted to pass the bill, Notwithstanding
the objections Of Washington; but the bill
failed, by u vote of yeas twenty three to nays
thirty three, andthe apponionment was finally
made upon ratio Of one to every $4,000 in
habltants, which gave a house Of one hundred
and six members.
The comparative representation of New
England in the house Of representatives, since
1870, is shown by the following table:

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won widely and so deeply
upon the confidence Of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series OF years, and among most of the races Of
men 1t has risen higher and higher in their cstna-
ton, as 1t has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as re-
liable protector against them While adapted to
mlder forms of disease and to young children it is
be given for ncipient consumption, and the dan.
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been competeli cured
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectornt. So complete ia its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat that
the most obstinate Of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee

Singers ard Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the

not publish the certificates of them here, do
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.
