Wedneeatay ijiorning, Deo. 9, 1874. frcienvHiUy uf ?UsCoJarttl People. 'The convention of colored oitizens of Georgia, recently held iu Atlanta, to tako into consideration a project for1 en ?extensive .emigration of their peo? ple to States' further West, resulted in no definite aolion. It was gotten up, i no doiibt, for the purposes of agitation and in order to make political capital "j provoking discontent. Oov. Smith and Dome other gentlemen gave the convention some good advice. They were counselled to reflect earofoily upon tho advantages they already en? joyed in Georgia, before they throw them away to seek imaginary blessings nndor moro difficult cirenmstanoes. The colored man in Georgia, where he is in a minority in the government, and-exerts bat little control over it, is mach better off In property and oou tentment than whore, as in South Ca? rolina, Louisiana and Flor id u, he is in the ascendant. Tho discontent which has been expressed comes mainly from colored and other politicians, who wish to livo upou tho opportunities which commotion will give them, rather than upon the rosults of honest labor. Tho&u agitatora are nut frieudd of the prosperity and progress of their people. An idea, thrown out by one of them in a pet, that they will finally have to leave this country on account Of the increasing prejudice against them North and South, may, if insist? ed on, bo taken np in earnest, and for .inch reasons as ho may not wholly an? ticipate. He aays that it baa been ad? vised that they crowd certain States and hold them for their special bone iflt, bat thinks that this policy will not work well long. "If wo ara going to inaugurate that policy," be eaya, "lot as ask tho General Government to givo n? New Mexico, and lot ns repair thero. Congress ought to give as New Mexico, with transportation from any patt of the ooautry, with six months' ?rations for all who desire to inaku the ^venture. But even that would uot ? servo to thwart the ultimate end* of Ho?ren in carrying oat tho purposes for which the negro was brought into this country, for thero is no more doubt in my mind that wo buvo got to ? nltimately return to Africa, than that -there is a God in Heaven.*' Mr. II. M. Turner, who advanced these views iu the Convention, was hardly wise in tho ueo to which ho de? signed to pat them. The problem ?which he and other advanced men of 'his rane should address themselves to solve is, how best to promote the spirit of contentment and how bost to briug abuut the material prosperity of hid people. Thuy have fed upon agitation, trouble and discontout long enough. They require repose, and the undi? vided applioutiuo of all their power of miud, skill of band and strength o! mnsclo to tho production of wealth, aud the increase of their individual uieautf. When they be? come thrifty farmers and wiu their own freeholds, and sit under their own viue and tig tree, they will realize wli it, it is to ho free in fact as well us in name. Political independence and advancement of their families in com? forts, in education, in morals, will fol? low iu urdor, and tht y will thus realize as good oouditiou as can be expected or may bo desired. If their progress aod developmout here, uuder ecptal laws, which givo protection to persons and property, should bo matched by the opouing, through travel, commerce and tho offirti of the groat powers of! Europe, of tlioir parent country, to ' their visits, they will be fitted by lh?ir attainments in knowledge, by thtir < K.ibstantial means, by their tilont no quuitiom of useful uxpoiieoo^, to i eater the Held which m:iy thus be opened, as civilized unionists aud set? tlers. Th-y will be prepared, at any rate, to ponder what may bo tho lead? ings and teaohiuga of Providence. And should they f sol oalled npqn or be impelled nltimately to retaro to tho home of their ancestors, to take buck an impress of the high civilization to I which they were born and in which they have been bred, their loDg exile will bo found to liavo boen a blessing I in disgniso. It h fashionable to decry what, id culled hi ivory, hat bluvery had its unos, even to those subject to its power. It was aii education in habits, in pbyaioal development, and in no little degree iu moral;!, intelligence, urafts nnd mauuerd. The habit of toil, tho powor of endurance, woio useful to the Israelite) aa wall as tho learning whioh thoy had imbibed Lorn their task-masteia, the Egyptians. Tho era of emancipation in having ibl u..jj top. j Tba Amerlotn Afrionp, who bav boon subject to the iwo ihflaenaea, oauuot be compared with any natdvdfi iu of ficiency ia any direction, so im? measurably superior are they. They will Lifc?u?j? capable of even much more, if they go quietly ulong fulfilling the'duties of the proseut and; leaving' to time and Providence the' develop-' aient of their future destiny. Above all thing*, they should eschew Agita? tion and .settle down to quirt lifo and steady employment. Why Not Ittporil Wity Not luvend? g-Uel iu the proceedings uf the Houso ol Representatives for Monday, we ob servo that Mr. Freeman introduced a resolution that, in consequence, as re? ported, of grave irregularities existing in the managemeut of tbe affairs of the assets of the Bank of the State, sinco the appointmeut of tho last receiver, a joint oommitteo of tho House and Sonato be appointed to investigate the financial oondition of these assot*, &o. A similar couenrrent resolution, intro? duced by Mr. Bostou, which requires tho receiver to mako a report of tho condition of tbo affairs of the Bunk, *&o , was adopted and ordered to be sent to tho Senate. In the Senate proceedings, we find two resolutions to the same effect. Looking at these re? iterated demands of tbe (ionoral As? sembly to have light upon thia in torestiu<< Bubjcct, we woudcr what ia tho reason Mr. Puffer does not come forward and promptly afford it. Yes? terday, we learn that tho Senate re fused to adopt tho concurrent resolu? tion which came from tbo House. Wo wonder agaiu, what reasons there can be in tho minds of tbo Senators to bide and hush op this matter. Pending tho discussion, yesterday, of a bill to amend an Act to regulato tho sale of intoxicating liquor.-, Mr. Bentty, of York, the Nestor of tho House, made a capital point against tbo inconsistency of passing a resolu? tion to exclude tho salo of all liquors from tbo State Honsc and grouuds, nud yet giving a lditiond licenso and privilege to tho traffic among tho peo? ple, whoso homes it invades in tbo most fearful forms. U.o indulged in a short but telling disquisition upon iu temperance, which ho described as tLc most universal, all-pervading und re? morselessly destructive evil of the! times. From tbe days of Sir Matthew Hale, who pointed out its connection with crime, to tbe present, it has ueou 1 the source of untold crime, wrong and suffering. As to the law it?olf, passed only last March, and just now re? ceived and understood iu the Counties, ho saw no necessity uud no advantage , in altering it. If was well enough ad it stood. The constant nlter'ttious! and amendments of laws lead to con- j faeinu und misunderstandiug. Tho j best Ui.d surebt way to secure tho re- j sped of tho people is to puss good law?, transact the meesssary public business and go home. He was in the bubtt of giving advico to the colored people in bin County. Qu hummed up his counsel to them j nudes three heads: That they should | got a home, if it bo but oun aoro of I ground; acquire whatever education was possible for themselves and for their children, and remember tbe in.to front which they bud bueu digged r.ud avoid thy evils tA tl? ? savage condi? tio!:, the chief of which was intosi- ? eating drink. It was a pleasant epi? sode to 1 istcn to this von.u.tble gentleman, an bo inculcated '.ho lessons of virtue und raised bis trembling l-'it etiriicsli voice against a Imbi' which be! justly regardti as deadly und disastrous! beyood all others. -? ?> ??? - - - Tin: Condition or tub South.? President Urant, in his in* ig ? t > CongrooJ, tayo: Your tttteutiou will be drawn t > the tlOSCltlud condition of uffairs iu some of the Southern Status. On the 11th of September last, tho Governor <.1 Louisiana called upon me, as provided by the Constitution and laws of the United States, to aid iu suppressing uutuesiiC violeu?? 10 tout Statu. xliis cull was mado in view of a proclama? tion issued on that day by D. li. Poou, claiming that he was elected Lieuten? ant Govornor in 1372, aarjcalling upon the militia of tbe Stnte to assemble ami drive from power tho "usurpers," as he designated tho otttcors of tho State Government. On the next day I issued my proclumutiou, commaudtug the in? surgents to disperse within live days from tho ddto thereof, mil subsc quently learned that on that day they had taken forcible posuossiou of the Stuto House. Stops wi re taken by mo to support tbe existing und ruoogntaeil State Govornmcut; but before tbo ex? piration of tho live days tlio insurrec? tionary movement was practically abandon ml, and tho olliceri of tbo State Government, with minor excep? tions, resumad their powers and duties. Considering that the present State ad? ministration of Louisiana hasbeou the only government in that S'atu for noarly two year.", that it has been tacitly acknowledged und acquiesced ia ae stiob by Congress, nud more than once expressly reoogmaed by mo, I re gardod it aa my olear duty, when legally called rJpon for that purpose, to prevent its overthrow by an armed mob under pretouae of fraod and irre? gqlaiity in, tho election of 1872. I Uute berotpforo called the attention of OdDgiess to this subject, stating that, on accountpf tho frauds and forgeries committed at the saidelection, and be cause it oppeura that retorns thereof were navcr legally canvassed, it was impossible to tell thereby who were chosen; but from tho best sources of information at my command I havo always believed the presont State ufheets received a majority of the legal votes actually cast at that election. I repoat what I said iu my special message of February 2o, 1872, that in tho event of no action of Congress, I must oontiuue to recognize tue Go jveruoaent heretofore recognized by I me. I regret to say that, with prepa? rations for the lute election, decided tudioations appeared iu some localities in the Southeru Stuten of a determina? tion, by acts of violence nud intimida? tion to deprive oittzens of the freedom of the ballot because of their political opinions. 13auds of men, ma>kod und armed, made thoir appearance. White Leagues and other societies wore formed. Largo quantities of arms &ud ammunition were imported uud dis? tributed to these organizations. Mili? tary drille, with meuacing demonstra? tions, were held, and with all, mur? ders enough were committed to spread turror among those whose political action was to he suppressed, if possi? ble, by these luloleraut aud criminal proceedings. In souae places colored laborers were compelled to vote ac? cording to the wishes of their employ? ers, under threats of discharge if they acted otherwise, and (hero uro too many instances iu which, when these threats wero disregarded, they were rernorselotudy executed by those who made them. I understand that the fifteenth amendment to tho Constitu? tion was made to prevent this uud u liko state of things, aud the Act of May 31st, with ameudmouts, was pass? ed to enforce its provisions?the aim of both being to guarantee to all citi? zens tho right to voto and protect them iu tho fruc enjoyment of that right. Eujoinud by the Constitution (to take care that tho laws bo faith tully executed,) and convinced by un? doubted evidence that violation;) of said Act bad been committed, and t1.at wide-spread and flagrant disregard of it was contemplated, the proper of lioers were instructed to prosecute the j offenders, aud troops wert- sitatioued at convenient points to aid ihef>e of hours, if neeosaary, iu the performance of their official duties. Complaints are mado of this interference by Fede? ral authority, but if said umuudtnent and Aot do not provide for such inter? ference under the circumstances as above stated, then they uro without moaning, force or effect, aud the whole scheme of colored eufranchisumout is worse than mockery and little butter than a crime. Possibly, Congress may tiud it due to truth uud justice to as? certain by menus of a committee whe? ther the alleged wrongs to colored citizens for political purposes are real, or the reports thereof were manufac j lured for the occasion. The whole number of troops iu the Slates of Louisiana, Alabama, (Jeor I giu, Florida, South Carolina, North j Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ar? kansas, Mississippi, Maryland uud Virginia, at the tune of the election, was 4,802. This embraces the garri? sons of ull the forts from the Delaware to too Gulf of Mexico. Auotber trou? ble has arisen in Arkansas. Article 13 of tho Constitution of that Stute, I (which was adopted in 1868, and upon I the approval of which by Act of Con jgreas the State was restored to repre? sentation ns one of tho States of the j Union,) provides in effect that before I amendments proposed to thin Consti ' tutiou shall become u part thereof, thej tdiall be pii.-n *d by two autieessivo As I sctublies, and then submitted to and -aiifvid by ;? majority the cicctora of j the Statu voting thereon. On I hp 1 Ith May, 1871, the Govern >r convened an extia session of the Genera! Assembly of tiio Slat1, which, on tho 18th of tho samu mouth, pansod an Act providing I for a convention to frame :i new Con? stitution. Pursuant to this act, and ut jau election held on the iJOih June, 1871, tho convention was approved und (lelegates were chosen thereto, who assembled on Ihn lith of last July, mid j formed a nuw Constitution, the sche? dule of which provided for tho elec? tion of an entire new .^et of Statu olli oers iu a manner cou'.nuy to the thou I existing election laws of tho State. On ;thcl3-.h October, lb71, this Constitu? tion, a* therein provided, was submit : ted to the people for their approval or I rejection, and, according to Ihn elec? tion returns, il wan approved by u j largo majority of those qualified to : vote thereon, und at tho sauio cleotion persons were chosen to il 11 all State, County and township ollices. The Governor elected in 1872 for tin* term of four years turned over his oflico to tlio Gcvornor chosen under tho new I Constitution, whereupon the Lieu I tenuut-Govornor, ulso elected iu 1872 for a term of four years, claiming to j act us Governor, und alleging that said proceedings, by which the new I Constitution was made and u new t>ut of ofliocri elected, were uncnustilu ' tionul, illegal und void, called upon me I as provided in section 1, article 1. oi the Constitution, to protect tho State against dorn''?':'.: violi-uce. \ ,^As CongreiiS is now investigating the ; political affairs of Arkansas, 1 havo de? clined to interfere. Tho whole sub? ject of Executive interference with sffiirs of a Stut > i-t repugnant to pub? lic opinion. Tho fooling of 111080 who, from their official capacity, must bu psud iu such interposition, and to htm or those who must diructj uuleau must clearly" on tho side of law, ?-r:r?ii iutcr ferenoe becomes a crime, audT wjlh tbe law to support it, is ooudemoed v.ith out a hearing. I desire, therefore, tlio? all necessity for ExecotiTe direction iu local affairs may become unnecessary and obsolete. .

Faith WkXiXi Founded.?In old times, at the commencement of every season, it was tba fashion to take a strong cathartic as a safeguard agains*. a change of temperature. It was a worse than senseloss practice. The people of our day understand the mat? ter better. Iostoad of depleting tbe system, they reinforce it. Iu the me? thod they adopt, they exhibit a wise discrimination. Instead of resorting to tbe vitiated stimulants of commerce, or any of the compounds derived from them, they put their faith in "the only absolutely pure invigorant procurable iu the market?Hustetter's Stomach Bitters. Their faith is well founded. Never has any tonio medioine been prepured with such scrupulous preci? sion and conscientious care. It is a vegetable compound of which every in? gredient id sound, wholesome, and mr dicinal in tbe true sense of the word. Now, we have throe prominent national oompluints. One-half of the adult population of the Uuited States suffer, more or less, either from diseases of tho stomach, derangements of the liver, or affections of the kidneys. In no other land nudcr heaven aro these maladies so general a3 in Ibis country, and Hosteller's Bitter? is a specific for them ail, uuloes organic in their ori? gin, and, therefore, beyond cure. And let tilOSO who uro fortunate enough to bo exempt from them ut present, un? derstand one greit fact, viz: that au occasional n*Q of this vitalizing tonio will as certainly ptevent them as tho sun will prevent the earth from freez ing where itn genial beams descend.
