THE FORSYTH FIRE.

A special to the Atlanta Herald
from Forsyth, says:
About one o'clock this afternoon
a large fire broke out in the carriage
shop of S. f. Wilder Son 6 Co., sit
uated on the southwest side of this
town, The fire originated from a
stove pipe in this office. The entire
block in which Pye's Hotel was stu
ated except one dwelling, was de-
stroyed.
A heavy gale of wind from the
South blew the flames in the direc-
ton of Pye's Hotel. Great efforts
were made to save the hotel, but
they were in vain.
Pye's loss is very heavy, but is
covered by insurance.
The houses burned were B. Pye
& Sons bank, grocery and dry
goods stores, and hotel; Wilder, Son
Co.'S. carriage establishment: F. H.
Poindexter's harness store: the post
office; the express Office; Joseph
Sterne's confectionery store; L.
Gresham Wilder & McGentry ;
and Messrs. Switzer's millinery
stores. These were totally destroy
ed.
The loss is estimated at seventy
FIVE thousand dollars. The build
ings all had insurance on them.

TIE JANUARY ELECTION

There is a good deal Of animation
in this and contiguous Counties, il
the contest for County Offices. In
Cherokee we learn there were nc
nominations. Col. w. Il. d. Moss,
than whom no County ever had a
better official, is a candidate for re-
election as Ordinary and we are
glad to hear that the people appre-
ciate him and are cheerfully raliying
to his support.
In this County a Ticket was NOM
mated by a Convention composed
of district representatives of tho
Democratic Party and no fairer
no better nomination was ever made
by a Convention. Such being its
character it is incumbent upon all
friends of the party, if they would
preserve its integrity, to rally to the
support of the Ticket. We have a
number of independent candidates.
some Of them unexceptionable and
from whose election the county would
suffer no detriment.

RULE OR RUIN.

THE Louisiana usurpation sus-
tanned by the Administration is one
of the most barefaced that have ever
taken place in this or any other
country. A body of men, composed
for the most part of defeated can
didates, assumes to be the Legisla-
ture; passes resolutions impeaching
and suspending from office the Gov
ernor, and proclaims as acting Gov
ernor a negro who formerly, by vir :
tue of being President of the Sem
ate, exercised the functions Of Lieu
tenant Governor, but whose term of
office expired some time ago. Nor
is this all This bogus Legislature
proposes, in addition to what it has
already done, to override the will Of
the people, and bring KELLOGG AID
all the other defeated candidates in.
And it is in the support of such un
precedented outrages that the mill
tary power of the Federal Govern
ment is invoked, and successfully

This original Ghost story of the
MARIETTA JOURNAL has been re-
published in other papers and among
them by the Atlanta Constitution,

reliability to the facts stated
Thanking the writer for his kindly
appreciation, we beg leave to say,
that, though the facts related are
vouched for by respectable parties,
we did not write the article or know

peared in proof. 1t was written by
our young friend, Mr.. W. S. NEAL,
who for some time has given a
versatile and agreeable interest to
the local columns of the JOURNAL.

HAMPTON ROADS ARMIsrIcE.

Mr.. Campbell gave some interest,"
ing "reminiscences of his visit to
Hampton Roads to hold an armistiee
with Mr.. Lincoln and Seward near
the close of the war. Mr.. Campbell
said that in conversation at this
time, he asked Mr.. Lincoln whether,
if the South laid down her arms, and
accepted the Union again, the peo-
pie there would have any chance to
receive compensation for their slaves.
To this Mr.. Lincoln replied that he
could not promise what the attitude
of the government might be on the
subject, but for himself he would
readily favor a compensation on the
ground that the North was as re-
sponsibie for slavery as the South,
and abetted in it, traded in it, and
defended it, until slavery became a
vast public question and invited
war.
TSo it seems that at the Hampton
Roads Conference, the South could
have come out Of the war with as
sured equality, with compensation
for it's slaves, and, if not with a pro-
vision for their deportation, at least
with their subordination to Southern
policy. What was the matterY 1t
was simply this-that no one who
attended that Conference had any
well defined. purpose which he hop
ed to accomplish. There was but
one man who accomplished his pur.
pose at that Conference. Mr.. Davis
saw the formidable nature of the
Southern movement for negotiations
for peace through a Convention oil
the States-the only power to which
the difficulties could be referred fol
settlement-and he manipulated the
Monroe Conference where Mr.. Lin
coin could only come, demanding
der his oath of Office Submission t.
the Federal Government" and where
Mr.. Davis and his Representatives
could only meet him with similar
disability under the Confederate
Constitution, 1t served its purpose
however, effectually killing the prop
err movement towards peace ant
leaving Mr.. Davis to indulge hi
blind hope of successful war down
to his flight to Georgia.

GRANT AND HIS COUNSEL oRs

GRANT AND HIS COUNSELO 0S.
[Mack's Washington Letter to the 81. Louis
Democrat
Probably no man ever held the
office who was SO essentially Presi-
dent of the United States, officially
and literally, as Gen. Grant He
has more than Jackson's will, with
out any of Jackson's buster; and
he has all of Lincoln's, butnot all of
Lincoln's tact. His experience in
the army has taught him that,
though dozen men may give ad-
vice, there will be but one to take
the responsibility, and as at vicks'
burg so at Washington, he tells his
counselors what he is going to rath-
err than asks them what he ought to
do. And so it happens among the
older and better class of politicians
bog pardon, statesmen-tbere is
not that eager rushing for Cabinet
places which there used to be
twenty years ago. Indeed, one OF
the Presidents best friends in the
Senate said in my hearing yesterday
that Cabinet officer under Grant
was little more than a clerk; that
with the exception of Boutwell,, none
of the existing ministry had any
voice in public affairs, and that a
man who was able to hold any po'
sition Of prominence in the Senate
would be foolish to go into the Cab
met. He was very far from con"
demning the state of things; on the
contrary, he said it was ust what it
ought to be, and that the tenden-
cy heretofore had been too much in
the direction of Cabinet rule. He
thought Mr. Lincoln's great mistake
was in allowing himself to be govern
ed by Seward and Stanton, and he
hoped Grant would stick to his de-
termination that there should be no
one to share the responsibilities or
the duties of the Presidency with
him while his term of office lasted.

THE GREAT MISTAKE.

| asked Mr.. Campbell in what he
thought the North mistook the
South most at the present time
He answered as follows:
POLITICALLY the North mistakes
South in supposing that men Of form
er position, wealth and influence
possess any considerable control
They fear that Jefferson Davis OF
Mr.. Stephens, or some other man,
might revive himself in public coun
ellis and give tone and purpose to a
new secession sentiment. This is
not based upon a knowledge OF our
condition. There are no longer con
trolling personal influences in the
South. Nothing was so much swept
away as the governing men of the
slave period. A deep, indiscrimi-
nate reaction took place at the close
of the war against everybody who
had given such counsels to the
masses as had brought general ruin
upon them. To-day your eye may
wander over the South and find nc
commanding presence anywhere
there.

CAMPBELL ON STEPHENS.

| was curious to know wha: &
Justice Of the Supreme Bench in
former days might also think of the
Vice President of the Southern Con
federacy, and in the course of the
conversation the following ideas
were expressed:
"Ml. Stephens course at the
present time" said Judge Campbell,
"make me as nearly indignant as |
can we'll be at time when my po-
litical life and influence in general
questions are over. He is dia-
lectician, and seeks to keep up the
strict ccnstructiveness of Mr.. Cal
houn at time when Calhounism is
no longer ponderable. He was
placed in an important office in the
insurgent government and began his
career there by making speech
which almost at once turned the
countenance of the world against us.
The CORNER stone" speech, to which
l refer, probably had a vast inhu->
ence in losing us all the European
alliances. For two years Mr..
Stephens hardly appeared at the
Confederate capital might say
not until the possibilities of the
struggle were over and we were
compelled to look with firm courage
into period of unending disaster.
Then he did appear, and' with all
the fervor of destructive nature he |
stood by Joe Brown and others, pro-
claiming that the war must go or
with tremendous force, whereas all
the forces in it were already wasted.
He and his colleague upbraided the
administration with want of heart,
whereas the time for heart was done,
and the softer counsels of statesman
ship to save our people should have
begun TO prev all. When we were
strong and resolute, making the fight |
with some possibilities, perhaps, on
our side, this man was weakening
us in almost every way. When we
at the center saw the inevitable
shadow rising and darkening about
us we heard the cry of this feeble
person for more exertion and greater
exploit when the occasion was gone.
And now, when there is a new con-
dition of things, SO momentous that
l can scarcely look on and under
stand the current Of events, hear
of Mr.. Stephens taking the extreme
Calhounism of a different day and |
seeking to educate another genera
ton in things neither pertinent to
their era nor consOnant, by any
course of logic, with the rising opin-
ion of which we must be a part"

Campbell ON DAVIS.

In the course Of the conversation
| said to Judge Campbell that as the
President of the Southern Confed
eracy, Mr.. Davis, was still living, |
should like to know whether in him
there could be found any usefulness
in the present emergency He said,
as near as l can recollect, this
at is out Of the question to con-
slider Mr.. Davis as living man.
AS to his past career it was failure
in the light of judgment. He was
placed at the head of the Southern
revolution by that fatal instinct
which leads people to select for their
rulers men of impulsive and intrepid
demeanor. Administration does not
lie in such things, but in the capac-
ity to meet without fatigue the daily
occurrences of small matters, each Of
which must oe attended to, while
attention should never tire, but all
parts of the vastness of government
90 on. Such was the war in which
the South embarked. 1t did not re,
auire for its President hero, but 6
disciplined mind and a patient man
Mr.. Davis is supposed in the North,
as | have heard, to have been q
man of strong and sagacious deeis'
ion. He was not so. | have sell
dom seen a man, of the same rank
who would chatter and be tickle for
so long a period over the most trif-
ling matter. When he retired from
his office at the defeat there were
probably more paper-pige0nholed in
his office on which no action had
been taken land many of them in
volving important questions) than
in any other department of the
South. If he could be made angry
Sc that he would decide points of ad.
ministration on the ground of resent
ment or spirit he was quick enough
but that is not the order of mind fol
