The furious speech of Morton, of In

the fresh crop of ISLANDERS about Southern
turbulence and lawlessness which have
been produced by the corrupt hearts and
prolific brains of scalawag and carpet-bag
spoilsmen-the threat to organize perma-

ments in the reconstructed States, and
thus permanently to subordinate the civil
authority of the governed to the irrespon-
sible military despotism of the rulers
and the abandonment by the President of
his intention to recommend TO Congress
an act of universal amnesty-are all due
to the signs of the rapid decay Of Radical
power in these States. Built III fraud
and corruption, and controlled by selfish

load them with burthens the most oppres-

venerable clergyman residing there, in
letter to correspondent in New Orleans,

IMMIGRATION TO GEoRGIA.-The Sa-
vannah Advertiser Of Friday has the fol-
lowing encouraging intelligence:

a company of forty emigrants passed
through our city a few days since. on the
way TO their new home In the Empire State.
This company is but the van guard % be
dred and fifty more. We learn that "A Ger
man Emigrant Society OF New York has
purchased large tract Of desirable land
along the lire OF the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad, which they thus propose To colo
nize with sturdy emigrants from Germany.
This company, which has already arrived,
is from Holstein, and the CONSUMPTION into
the Prussian army has proved so unpopular
with the natives of that province, that a
wholesale exodus Of the sturdy, able-bodied
young men Is threatened. OF course the
United States is the objective point with
these emigrants and our people should hail
with satisfaction the fact that this tide has
been directed toward Georgia.

We delight to accord praise where we
believe it to be due, and hence without
reservation we unhesitatingly express our
approval of these appointments with the
single exception of the first named. They
are composed with that exception ofold
citizens, without regard to former or pres
ent political position, who enjoy the entire
confidence of the community. One of
them, Mr.. Barrows, was removed from
the office of Mayor of jackson, by a
usurping military commander, and we
doubt not the others would have shared a
like fate if they had been similarly situa-
ted. They enjoy the confidence of the
community and their appointment will
secure a faithful administration of the
affairs of the Asylum to the extent of the
powers with which they are clothed

In another column will be found At
torney General Morris opinion upon
that clause in the Constitution which
vacated all the county offices thirty days
after the Constitution was adopted. He
decides that the present encumbents can
legally hold over until their successors
are appointed, and makes quite lengthy
argument to sustain his decision. He
might have done so in fewer words.
When the Constitution was made the
offices were filled by Democrats, and the
carpet-baggers and scalawags were hun
CRY for them-then they were to be vaca-
ted in thirty days. Now they are filed
by Ames' minions, and "'Ioyalty"
has received its reward, therefore, it is
not necessary for the offices to be vacated
as the Constitution requires.
