Shelf that would avoid our patents; and som'
patents have been obtained on some new, but
worthless points, that are Of no value to the in

A REBELLION IN GEORGIA.

The Radicals in Georgia are trying TO get
up a rebellion. The Constitution of that
State provides that in the event Of a vacan-
cy occurring in the Office Of Governor the
duties thereof shall devolye upon the Speak
Ell of the Senate, but that the Legislature
may provide for filling the vacancy by a
special election. Tie Legislature passed
bill ordering an election, and the acting
Governor (Mr. Benz. Conley,) vetoed the
bill, but the Legislature passed it over his
veto. The Radical organ at Atlanta, the
Near Era, says Of the election which will
occur during this month:
alt will establish two State Governments.
each claiming recognition as the constituted
authority. This will call in the interview
ton of the National Government. In this
event Gov. Conley will be sustained.
The Atlanta sun justly says: This is
calling for, advocating and justifying the
overthrow of law and order by bayonets,
without any cause on earth. 1t is rebellion
as reprehensible as any that was ever advo-
Gated by any secessionist. It is calling for
a coup d'efdt Ia NgpoIcOH and the estab-
ishment of an Empire and Dynasty. 1t
looks to a consummation of the schemes of
tie Radical leaders; the crushing out Of
all liberty and selfgovernment on
this continent" The constitution
which contains the provision in accord
ance with which the Legislature has acted,
is the work of a Radical Constitutional Con-
yention, and was ratified by Radical votes
at atime when a large portion, perhaps a
majority, of the people of the State were
disfranchised. Now because the Democrats
in the Legislature of Georgia have simply
exercised the power conferred upon them
by the Constitution, the acting Governor
proposes IS hold on and the Radical organ
at Atlanta calls on Grant to sustain him.
The laws are to be nulliied and set
At naught in order to sustain
a usUTper inthe Governors Office of Georgia
This man Conley has shown himself 10 be
as mean as Bullock. He is ready to sane
ton any measure which will defeat the will
Of the people. The Atlanta correspondent
of the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel,
writing on the 2Sth ult., furnishes this piece
of intelligence as 10 the unscTTpulously vim
dictive conduct of Conley:
"a gentleman just from Washington
states that Conley has reported TO the au-
thorities there, endorsing Bullock as one Of
the most honest and conscientious Govern
ors Georgia ever had, and declaring that the
Representative 10 Congress from the fifth
district was elected through intimidation
and other unfair means"
1t is quite clear that Mr.. Conley is as
ready to do the dirty work Of the Radica,
party as Bullock ever was. In this respect
he is not a whit better than Bullock.

protests against the contemplated visit Of
the Duke Alexis to the South, on the ground
that it viii be a cause Of genuine disgust
o the Southern people that this young sprig

conclusions from the fact that the enthusi-

ONE of the Washington letter writers
(Mr. George Alfred Townsend) expresses
the opinion that great deal # unnecessary
fuss has been made about Grant 5 son-who
Is a Lieutenant in the regular army-going
10 Europe. The Washington Patriot says ::
'Mr. Townsend does not seem to be aware
that in order to send his son to Europe
President Grant has deliberately broken The
law Of the land, which provides that "no
subaltern officer shall have any leave of alb
sence until he shall have served at least two
years with the company to which he may
he attached" The fact that a young man
goes to Europe on a pleasure excursion is
of little account; but when the President OF
The United States deliberately breaks the
law in order to confer upon his son Il
special favor which no other subaltem
officer of the army would be allowed to re-
ceive, the matter ceases to be unimportant.
If the President wilfully breaks the law,
who can be required to obey is?7
