shown to be, for productive purposes,
far greater than the best land of other
sections of the Union while the addition
al lines Of Railway now in process OF
construction in the State involving an
investment of some ten millions, princi-
pally northern capital and to be disburs-
ed mainly in Georgia, will add greatly
to our general prosperity and advance
the value of real estate. Undoubtedly q
tide of prosperity for Georgia is now
rising which will make it one ofathe
wealthiest States of the Union. I'M
fortunately it is now impeded by our
social and political mongrel condition
which renders it undesirable to respect
able people of the north and Europe for
residence.
THE Supreme Court of the United
States, in the Yerger case from Missis-
sppi, carried up from a Military
Commission, sustained the HabeaS Cor
puS and the Constitution, throwing
around the citizen the great right of
the common law.
SEVERAL shiploads Of Chinese are ex-
pected soon to arrive, under contract, in
Louisiana, and the value of Chinese la
Dor will be tested next year by the
planters of that State. We rather think
that they can be made under present
circumstances, industrially useful; but
socially and morally, we fear that we
may lose more than we will gain. How
ever, it is a movement not to be stayed
or accelerated by argument.
THAT was an awful disaster--the
burning of the steamer Stonewall above
Cairo--20O crew and passengers and
but 43 were saved. An effort was made
TO land but the boat could not reach
nearer than one hundred yards Of the
shore. All the women and children
were lost. s
AN article from the N. Y. World ar
CUES that the South can avoid financial
disasters now impending over the coun-
try in consequence of the Greenback
basis, by demanding gold for its cotton
and making it basis for Southern
banking system as before the war.
RECONSTRUCTION in South Carolina,
has among its other illustrations, cock
fighting, nigger-fghting, card-playing,
and pistol-shooting; and similar Sun
day amusemcnts.
TIE Louisville Covier-JOwMaI thinks
the South will be all right when two
words fall into disuse-nigger and
rebel. Is not that very like Greeley's
ideaR Universal amnesty-universal
suffrage; and then comes universal
equality and Grants peace.
H. w. BEEcHER talks eloquently in
behalf of the decent sculpture of the
Confederate dead. OF all men, if we
except Greeley, he should be most elo-
quent on this theme for in the day of
his most youthful ardor he was most elo-
quent in stirring up the bloody strife
in proclaiming ''iet the. conflict come
though thousands perish in the strug-
gle" He would be destitute of natural
rcmorse if in the presence of his victims
lie is not eloquent.
THE Nashville Union says: "The
Radicals made good point on their
party by electing to the United States
Senate the Judge who decided their
State government, Legislature and its
franchise law, Judiciary and all, bogus"
THREE is some disposition among our
Atlanta friends to make straigh2out
Democratic issue for the next municipal
election. The Intelligencer disapproves,
of course, but the thing will be and
ought to be done now and in future
We have had enough of mixtures.
Without the vote Of Philadelphia, the
majority for Governor Geary cannot be
forced beyond 1876, which accounts for
the forgeries and manipulations of the
vote in philadelphia and elsewhere
The State voted for Packer, and then
tie Radicals piled in the votes by thou
sands in Philadelphia, and falsifed the
returns.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says:-
The Republican press are congratula-

President Johnson for the Senate. Let
them not, however, be too precipitate.-
We can tell them that Mr.. Johnson will
