The Eipulsfon or Georgia..
On the 5th of March. 1SG1, the Republi
can party obtained control of this govern
ment, and Las retained the control thereof
ever since that time. ; In that year some
of the Southern States attempted to with
draw from this government and establish
one for themselves. The party in power
immediately resorted to arms for the pur
pose of coercing the seceding States back
into the Union, and for nearly five yeara
thereafter this unfortunate country was
drenched with fraternal blood. As Sn
excuse for such destructive rashness, the
party in power called itself the govern
ment, and announced that it would main
tain the union entire, and in the co ndition
in which it had found it, when it obtained
control of the Nation.
A majority of the people believed that
this assertion was made in good faith, it
received their approbation, and "the gov
ernment (Republican party,) was sustain
ed. Finding that this move was popular,
the scheming leaders of that party gave it
the name of the Union party, and -claimed
fcr it superior excellence for patriotism.
And in every political canvass made since
the cessation of the slaughter, every radi
cal speaker has continually howled that
the Union party saved the Union and the
country, and iu turn ought to be support-
cd and retained in power by the people it
had saved. But that such claims were and
are without merit and foundation in fact,
is easily proven by the acts of the party
making them.
It will be remembered that during the
time of the war, the Republican party
contended that the seceding States were
still in the Union, and could not rightfully
get out of it without first obtaining the
consent of the other States, forming par
ties to the compact. This was good doc
trine. But mark the inconsistency : im
mediately upon the subjugation of the
seceding Slatesoand the close of the war,
the same party stoutly maintained that
these States wore actually out of the
Union, and could get back only by com
plying with certain conditions to bo pre
scribed by the conquerors. The first
condition proposed was the 13th Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, which had for its object the entire
abolishment of slavery within the United
Stares, and the people of the States, said
to be out of the Union, were informed
that they could be re-admitted into the
Union upon ratifying this amendment,
and it was ratified by every seceding
State. Such ratifications was received
and acted upon by the general Govern
ment as the action of States, but in viola
tion of its pledge, these States were still
kept out and not permitted to participate
in the affairs of the government and were
denied the right of representation. How
a State can be considered and treated as
-
a State by the general government for
one thing, and by the same government J
denied this right In another that is equally j
legitimate and necessary for its existence,
is more than we can understand. And
the theory that an amendment to the Con-,
stitution of a country can be legally rati-!
ified by States which do not form a part
ipf that country, is a new and startling
theory in political economy, and can be
accepted and acted upon as legitimate, by
none but a party that is endeavoring to
perpetrate Itself in power by deceit, false
hood and fraud. This right of ratifying
Constitutional amendments is not allowed
to the Territories, then why sliould ratifi
cations by seceded States which are not
considered States or Territories in the
Union be counted by the Radicals?
But after the 13th Amendment had
been ratified by these foreign States, the
14th was proposed and these States were
informed thit upon its ratification by
them they should surely be readmitted.
Notwithstanding the bad faith and fraud
that had been practiced upon them in re
gard to the 13th Amendment by a Radi
cal Congress these States ratified the 14th
Amendment also, and a few of them were
readmitted, and among them was the State
of Georgia.
But not fully satisfied with the destruc
lion and disgrace that it had brought up
on the country the Republican party must
needs plunge the country into deeper de
gradation by its universal suffrage and
universal equality doctrine culminating
in the 15th Amendment, and demanding
its adoption. T3ut Georgia having been
admitted her Legislators did not consider
that they were obliged to adopt this
amendment unless it accorded with their
sense of right, hence did not adopt it, and
refused admission to the negroes who had
been elected members of such Legisla-
tureT' For this tie State of Georgia was
herself expelled and thrown out of the
Union by " the party who fought to save
the Union."
In discussing this high handed outrage
the 2aiion shows up a few of the frauds
and abuses of the party in power and hits
it some heavy blows. It says :
Astonishing as the Georgia Reconstruc
tion Bill is by itself, it becomes more so
w hen one reads the arguments bv which
it is defended. Georgia has been already
admitted to the Union, under a solemn act
of Cvngrejs, or. in other words, under a

remains for the Legislature to abide by
the judicial decision, which is generally
believed it will do when it meets in Janu
ary. But the promoters of the present
measure, apparently having a horror of
thA slnw and TPtrnlar DTOcess of American
jurisprudence, and being enamored of im
perial ways of settling imngs, itiuu iu
wait, and'have accordingly passed an act
repudiating the legislation ot last winter
over which the country toiled and sweat
ed so much, breaking the public faith, and
petting a shocking example of contempt
for law. The worst of it is that one of the
excuses put forward in defence of this
higb-handed violence is, that it is done
for the protection of negroes and loyal
men against the violence of their neigh
bors, as if the way to provide for their
protection wras to kaep them before the
eyes ot their fellow citizens as the cause
of the subversion of the State Government;
and as if the respect of juries and magis
trates for the law of the land could be
promoted by exhibitions of Congressional
disregard of it; and as If, in case the pub-,
lie opinion of Georgia cannot, or ought
not, be trusted to for the protection of
Georgian citizens, we ought not at once
to provide permanent gendarmerie and
Federal magistrates, armed with summary
processes, instead cf cheating the negro
and the loval whites with airy nothings
called a provisional government" or
'martial law." things which have just
enough substance to irritate, and not
enough to afford the smallest protection
either for life, or limb, or property. Mr.
Binghman made a strong and able protest
against the farce, but in vain.

TIio Chinese Triu 3ii pliant.
Last Saturday was the beginning of the
Chinese New Year. At noon of that day,
the Chinese employes in the. Woolen Fac
tory at this place, knocked ofT and would
'no more workie" until the following Wed
nesday morning. Hence, the factory was
shut down, and the white employes were
deprived of their regular work, during
this time. '
This is progressive Republicanism it
is the glorious (?) result of the policy of
that degrading party. Who don't go in
for Republicanism, the late Republican
Chinese treaty, the 15th Amendment,
universal suffrage and the new accessions
to the Republican party the Chinese?
When white men in these factories desire
a holiday, they find it very difficult to ob
taiu leave of absence, unless they first
secure a skilled substitute, but when these
Pagan pets of the Republican party want
a spree, white men must stand back and
loose their time in order to accommodate
these favored rat and rice jeators the
worshipers of Josh and the filthy beings
now petted, eulogizedwand worshiped by
the Republican party. As an evidence
of this petting and worshiping of the
Chinese by the Republican party,
read the Orcyonian, Forney's Press, of
Philadeldhia, and other leading radical
papers.
The Canal around the Fulls or tire
AVillumcttc.
Last summer the Peoples Transporta
tion Company worked energetically and
successfully in cutting away the rock and
deepening the channel of the canal lead
ing into their basin at this place. During
the same tune the Company built a good
substantial stone wall frcm 8 to 12 feet
ligh on the east or land side of the canal
for a distance of twelve hundred feet. The
basin and canal extends from some four
mudred feet below the falls to Canemah.
a distance of some two thousand five hun
dred feet. All this portion of the propos
ed canal is now built and in such good
condition that it will not require a lock.
A few days since we saw a map of this
canal, drawn bv Mr. Belden. civil engin
eer, who surveyed it for the Company.
From it we learn that there is yet eight
hundred feet of the canal to build yet, and
that in this eight hundred feet there will
be three locks. We are also informed by
a prominent member and officer of the
Company, that it is the intention of the
Company to pnsh forward this enterprise
with all possible dispatch, and have the
whole canal completed within two years
from this time. We sincerely hope that
this accommodating and deserving Com
pary may realize its most sanguine expec
tations. V .
A Chinamen PuncuASK3 a New Wife.
The Grass Valley Union has "inter
viewed " Fi Kee, a prominent Chinaman
of the town, with the following result :
'FiKee, of Chinatown, has purchased
a new woman. She cost him in San Fran
cisco, the sum $550 in gold coin, and the
negotiations that took place before the
purchase was concluded cost about $50.
Fi Kee says that ., all told, his new woman
cost him about $G15. He is growling
about the state of the worn in market at
the Buy, and thinks if there were not so
many partners in the selling business,
women could be purchased at a figure
low enough to enable a purchaser to get
his money back in a year or two Fi Kee
is an economist. He saTs that money is
so scarce, interest so high, and a China
woman s life and health, when she ii put
at her regular business, is so precarious,
that one woman is not worth over $200.
Iu spile of the war. therefore, in spite of
proclamations and bills of rights inConsti
tutions. the heathen among us have slaves
buy and sell women for the purpose of
prostitution, and, worse than all, have
American partners in their horrible busi
ness. The "American partners" mentioned are
no other than the leaders of the Republi
can party.

From the Daily Herald.
We learn from Mr Joseph M. Wolf, that
a fireman named David Washburn, on the
steamboat Mary Bell, which runs between
here and Astoria, was drowned on the last
trip down.
Robert J. Ladd. Esq., stepped into the
basement of Stimson it Roger's steam saw
mill, foot of Madison street, to sharpen
some table-knives, nt a grindstone whiiih
is turned by a belt attached to the ma
chinery of the mill. Mr. Ladd was alone.
at the time, and, as near as we can" learn, j
he took hold of the belt with his left hand i
to put it in connection with the shaft, when
it caught him and carried him with great
force against the shaft, which was revolv
ing at a rate of 250 turns in a minute.
The engineer, hearing the cry of distress,
turned off the steam at once, but before
the workmen on the upper floor could get
down. Ladd had released himself, but in a
terribly mangled condition. His left arm
was a mass of pulp, his side and face
crushed, and his wearing apparel torn to
shreds. The men in the mill carried him
to his residence on Front street, a few
doors above the mill, and Drs. Chapman,
Giltner and Watkins scut for, who arrived
a few moments after. When an examina
tion was made, it was decided to amputate
the arm. It was accordingly cut off a few
inches below the shoulder, by Dr. J. A.
Chapman, assisted by the other surgeons
present. A number of ribs were found
broken, and he was otherwise greatly
bruised. His watch was smashed, and a
boot torn off in his struggles to get loose
from his awful position.

Dr. Chapman, surgeon in attendance up
on Mr. Ladd, reports his condition favor
ably, with the strongest hopes for a speedy
recovery, considering the extent of his in

Corbin. the President's brother-in-law.
was before the committee on Banking and
Currency to-dav, with reierence to the
New York gold" operations. He jefuses
to divulge anv testimony, on the ground
that it would be disrespectful to the Com
mittee and to the House.
More Taxes.
Washington, Jan. 28.
Sumner introduced a joint resolution
directing the payment of bounties to col
ored soldiers and seamen, regardless of
former conditions ot servitude.
Voorhtcs on the IVatlc-ntil Debt.
Washington, Jan. 27.
Voorhees addressed the House? He
solemnly asserted that a vast proportion
of the national debt had no existence in
reality. It was a fiction created by un
just, scandalous legislation, or still worse,
uniiist scandalous neiversioil of a
true contract; ajraud fastened upon the
labor of the nation, utterly vthout con-
sideration, legal or moral
it wu3 a sneer
and naked extortion from the wauts. neces
sities and helplessness ofthe people when
they were at the mercy of capitalists.
Boiiilholdersicferrcd.
Washington. Jan. 31.
McNeely ofTer3 a resolution declaring
that the national debt should be paid in
strict compliance with tlu; contract ; that
five-twenties are payable in greenbacks,
and condemning the" policy of the admin
istration in redeeming such bonds at high
rates of premium.
Jones moved to lay the resolution on
the table lor the purpose of testing the
sense of the House. The motion was car
ried by 122 to 41 a strict party vote.

intermediate tirne.that at least one capable
representative be sent to the legislature
from each county, who has learned from
actual experience what it is to eat his daily
bread in the sweat of his face. If we
would emancipate ourselves from the
thraldom of capital, we must make poli
tics a part of our business, just as needful-4i
ly us we do digging, plowing, planing,
hammering and such other kindred em
ployments. Working-men's societies, Iradj
unions, and co-operati veP work-shops, as
an ultimatum, in action will overdrove
feeble appliances in resistance to aristo
cratical encroachments on our rights. The
only effective Qemedy for our growing
grievance, is to be found iu the judicious
use of the ballot at the polls.
