The Bullock faction in Georgia may
we'll be jubilant over the passage by Con-
gre4s of the Dawes amendment author
izing a reorganization of the militia. =
Texas, which has received similar author
ity, has already set an example of what
may be done by an unscrupnlous Cover
nor and partisan Legislature. The
Militia bill in the latter State has passed
10th Houses Of the Legislature, after a
severe struggle, and by the assistance Of
Mrs. Governor Davis and several female
lobbyists, who, finding that the fate of the
bill was doubtful in the Senate, canvassed
openly for votes. So bitterly did Mrs.
Davis resent the speech of Senator Bowers
in opposition to the bill, that she approac-
he'd him after adjournment and passion
atty declared that she would like to see
him dead and buried. st the same time
she justified her course as lobbyist by
asserting that her husbands qUarrels
we're hers.
In the counties Of the State a pressure
was also brought to bear upon Senators.
The Radical supporters of the bill are
charged distinctly, by the Austin Repub-
hcan, with written letters to get up Cliff
culties with the whites immediately,
to prevent the defeat of the BILL
By these and similar tricks and devices
the bill was finally passed. The infamous
character of it may be understood when
we say that it gives the Governor the
right to suspend the privilege Of the writ
of hobeos corpus to declare martial law,
and to punish alleged offenders by military
commissions appointed by himself and
subordinated to his will
What more need Governor Bullock ask
as means of perpetuating his own power
in Georgia He has supreme control
over subservient Legislature, and can
readily obtain from it a militia bill as
stringent in its provisions as that of
Texas. Being thus clothed with almost
despotic authority be can arm large bodies
of negroes and send them firth to Spread
terror in districts where his political
opponents have the greatest numerical
strength, and if he should be still appre-
hensive of the result of the fall elections,
he can, as a last resort, appeal to the
courts, whose judges are Of his own
appointing. to decide whether it is really
imperative, under the Constitution, to
hold any election at all for two years to
TO come.

fee of property, was taken up. The PEN
ding question when the bill was last I'M

THE various States Of the Union have
always had tn cir special and individual

acteristic feature of these governments.
The Western states have always manifested
feeling upon the question of migration,
the Northern and Eastern upon internal
improvements and commercial policy, the
Middle upon the interest Of special pre-
ducts, WILTSHIRE South with a characteristic
nonchalance, like Sambo sleeping in the

Northern and Eastern statesmen delivered
their rolytechnical lectures with schem-
ing enthusiasm, whilst the Southern orators
INDUCED in philosophical disquisitions
upon constitutional jurisprudence and con-
yentional Resolutions, until each system
became characteristic Of the sections.
Southern chivalry has always contempt
uously ofFscttcd Northern parsimony, and
at last materia! prosperity has overriaden
constitutional quibbles.
But the change las been fully accom-

has the governmental policy been material

the hobbies Of Rcsolm;oaary prestige have
given place to practical and competing

Steamboat Collision On the Hudson
A Scene Of Excitement.

ALBANY. June 2S.-A collision occurr-
ed about clock this morning on the
river four uliles below Catskill between
the steamer Drew and the tugboat Tele-
graph. The lookout of the Drew perceiv-
ed the tow coming down, piloted by the
towboat Telegraph. Seeing imminent
danger of collision, he Immediately sign
allied the engineer to reverse the engine,
and endeavored to warn the approaching
tow Of danger. The tug kept on her way
regardless, it seems, of repeated warnings
and though the Drew tried to prevent it,
collision was inevitable.
la an instant thereafter she struck the
illfated Telegraph with her bow, crushing
in her side, bursting her boilers, and sink
ing her almost Immediately. Then ensued
a scene of confusion the crew springing
overheard and crying for help, and the
canal boats in the tow cutting loose. drift
ing hither and thithcr. crushing and
grinding against each other, doing con-
siderable damage. The Drew immediate
iy lowered her boats and succeeded in
picking up the engineer and three othe:
of the unfortunate crew, who were mostly
asleep at the time of the collision The
engineer was badly scalIcd By the burst
ing of the boilers before he scarcely knew
what had happened.
Every attention was rendered him and
others on board the Drew. On the arrival
of the Drew the engineer was taken to
the hospital for treatment. There were
ten of'the crew'in all aboard of the tug,
the rest of whom it is thought were pick
ed up by the canal boats. The Drew
sustained 10 injury beyond that caused by
the shock, which caused the crew to tum-
bic cut of their berths in lively manner.
The three others brought up by the Drew
took the cars as soon as landed, and
went back to the scene of disaster.

THE Fools -Northern workingmen

fools and slaves of themselves in fighting
against the South. A committee of the

river of blood which five hundred thousand

to tax US so enormously to pay the cost of
of the war which the mon apolists produced,
and then to import Cinnamon to work in
our stead and drive our families into dis
tress, constitute such an accumulation of
wrongs as would justify revolution had we
