Reconstruction Reconstructed.

AS soon as Congress met on Monday,
before the message was received, and
even before u committee was appointed
to wait upon the President to inform
him that the two house We're organized,
a bill was introduced to reconstruct
Georgia.
Georgia was reconstructed three
years ago; and its reconstruction was
amended and patched by two supple
mentay bills. In fact, it was recon-
structed three times in about one year.
Last year it was reconstructed again,
and portion at least Of its representa-
ton in Congress was admitted
The State has been quiet and peace
full, obeying every constitutional pro
vision. Its Judiciary, Executive, and
Legislative departments have been or
gained as in other States, and no one
Of them has usuped power or trans
cended the provisions Of the Constitu
ton. Law and order have been as
much respected in Georgia IS in Massa
chusetts.
But Georgia has judged Of the quail
fcations of the members Of its Legisla
turc, as it has right, So does Massa
chusetts. Congress has no right tc
| Judge of that 1t has no such author
ty. But usurping power it assume,
that authority over Georgia, and now
proposes to reconstruct that State a
gain. imposing upon it the doctrines o
Sumner and Fred Douglass,
We trust that the people Of Georgia
will unite like men, and never accep
any such act of deSpotism but remain
unrcpresentcd if need be, til. the PEG
pie of this country come to their senses
and send men to Congress who will re
gard their oaths, obey the Constitution
and cease the work Of tearing free GOV
eminent to pieces.
1t is proposed also to rcconstruc
Texas again, provided the State doe
not ratify the 18th amendment propos
ed by Congress, which the people {
New York at the ballot boxes hay
just voted down.
This Congressional plan Of proposin
Constitutional amendments, and the
forcing States to adopt them, Of courS
turns our republican institutions into
farce, or something worse. 1t real

An EARNEST PEorEsT.-Thc Barton

earnest protest:
SuAMEFrL.-Wc see it stated in the
papers that Goh, the murderer Of Harris
at Rcnford, the other day, has served

received an appointment as Selling Off
Ger under our government. We say it is
shameful yet he is as likely as three
fourths of the officers in this branch Of
government service.
