Republican Mass Meeting at Atlanta—Gcorgia Suficiently} Reconstructed=Democratic Doe fence of Governor Bullock. ATLANTA, Feb. 21, 1869. A meeting was held last night at the Legislative Hall by the republicansjbelieving that Georgia ts re constructed: according to the acts of Congress, and the following resolutions were adopted:— That the State of Georgia was legally reconstructed when the fourteenth amendinent was adopted py the Legislature; that when the Governor was tr- augurated and took the oath prescribed by the con- stisution the military became subordinate to thecivil power; and that reconstruction was completed by the admission of the six Representatives of the State to seats in Congress: that no subsequent act of the Legislature invalidate the pt by which, ia was restored to the Union; that Congress has full power to protect, appropriate legisiation, all the inhabitants of the in thegenjoyment of all the rights, privileges and immunities secured to them im the Consitation of the State and of the United States; that we recognize the election of Grant and Colfax as the voice of the American peo- ple calling for peace on the basis of true loyalty, and we pledge a firm anc loyal support to the incoming adminisiration, Acopy will be forwarded to the President of the United States. The meeting was a large and re- spectable assemblage, many ladies being present. The utmost harmony and good order prevailed, The galieries were filled with white and colored people. Supplemeniary resoiutions endorsing Gene- ral Grant and the republican p'atform, and also General Meade’s administration, were adopted. The meeting adjourned, the band playing the “Star Spangled Banner,” “Dixie” and “Hall Columbia.” A motion was made in the Legislature to recon. sider the action in adopting the minority report on the subject of the charges by the Treasurer against the Governor. Mr. Morgan (democrat), chairmanjof the Sub-Committee on Investigation, said the cases cited by the committee's majority report were pre- ‘cedents for Governor Builock’s action, and they are determined to do justice, irrespective of politics; and that the gentlemen should find out the whole truth, regardless of party. In conclusion, he said he was mortified thaton a motion to adopt the report of the minority a democrat had called the previous question, thus cutting off debate. He said the minority report tailed to give all the facts. ‘The report ignores the fact that the Finance Com- mittee are in possession of a letter from the bank where the State funds are deposited, showing that the Treasurer solicited and procured a private ar- rangement whereby he was paid a percentage for the use of the public money on his private account. The Chairman of the Finance Committee supported & reconsideration of the report, and said that the Governor had been unfairly dealt with and had no impure motives in making the advances.

RENTS.—The momentous question of the tenants at the present time 1s the amount of rent to be paid for the next year. Will there be an increase or de- crease in rents? 1s asked by thousands. For the past two years the supply of desirable honses did not ap- pear to be equal to the demand, and landiords were enabled to rent their houses at almost any price they cbose to ask. Last year 2,500 houses were erected in Brookiyn and the resuit teat supply, and demand will be about equal this sprin, indioras will be unable to get an increase it renta, though there are no indications of a decrease.

General Grany Becoming Com- municative, No Military or Naval Offtcers to Be Ia- eluded in the Cabinet, Preparations for the Inangu- ral Ceremonies. The Colored Population Determined to Attend the Inauguration Ball, A Cherokee Treaty Job Before the Senate. WASHINGTON, Feb, 21, 1809. Grant More Communicative. As the day of inauguration approaches the seal of secrecy seems to be gradually wearing away from the lips of President Grant. Every day now some littie remark or act of the coming man is noised about and made the basis of speculations as to the views and designs of his administration. The sig- nificance of many of these acts and remarks is of course greatly exaggerated, and no weight whatever should be attached to them. As, for instance, his soctal movements, Everybody he goes to see is put down for a Cabinet position or as having influence Cabinetward. If he dines out with anybody or any- body dines with him, according to a certain class of quid nuncs and political speculators here, it is the state of the nation instead of things edible ordrinkable that is the principal topic of discus- sion, and some deep scheme of governmental polity isat the bottom of the movement. Nay, more, it has got to be so bad that Mrs. Grant herseif cannot gO OUt NOW Without some political significance fol- lowing in her steps; whether she sallies for th to make a friendly visit or merely on a shopping expe- dition matters not. The political wiseacres will afcer her and make her responsible for plottings and schemings that never entered into her sensible cranium. But some things the General nas said and done recently area fair subject of speculation, and some of them indicate his policy very clearly on certain points. No Military or Naval Men to Get Cabinet Positions, ~ But though thus independent in his dealings with the politicians, General Grant is becoming quite free in conversations with his old friends, Thus yesterday he had a long interview with an old Connecticut acquaintance, a gentleman who was his trusted and trusting friend before he had become the pet of fortune, and when, indeed, friends were scarce and needed. In his communion with this friend yesterday General Grant appears to have been more unreserved than usual. He spoke freely of his views on public questions and about his Cabinet, and, without giving names, stated the kind of persons he should try to select. From this unfolding of his views, which I get in such a way as to leave no doubt as to their reliability, it appears to be fixed that no purely military or naval man will be invited t eat in the Cabinet. He remarked on that point that he consid- ered tt would not be for the benedt of the government, the army or the navy to appoint an army or navy oMeer to a Cabinejg position. He regarded such selections as detriniental to the military and naval service and not beneficial to the civil branch of the government. ‘I shall invite civilians to Mill all the Cabinet positions,” said General Grant, “and if my selections should not prove judicious in the first in- stance I shall feel myself justified in correcting the mistake by making @ second or third selection if necessary.” These are said to be almost literally his words, and bear out his utterance to the Congressionai committee that watted on him the other day. This would seem to set at rest the stories in circulation as to the certain appointment of Schofleld and Porter respectively to the qirection of the War and Navy Departments. General Grant's relations with these two officers are of the most friendly character, but under this latest and perfectly reliable enunciation of Grant's inten- tions it seems setticd thateven those distinguished gentlemen cannot walk into the Cabinet, unless, in- deed, there is an understanding that they wili resign thelr present positions with a view to accepting office under the coming admunistration, On this point I do not profess to be advised, and therefore do not hazard an opinion. The fact that Grant. has thus expressed himseif gives satisfaction to s number of his supporters in Congress who have here- tofore apprehended that the General would display an invincible partiality for the elevation of the military and naval branches over the civil. They hail it as a sign of the wisdom of the President elect, while some of the apprehensive democrats who have been predicting military despotism and everything else dreadful under Grant are congratulating them- selves that, after ali, ne is going to “let as have peace’ instead of war during the four years of his administration. A First Cinse Man for State Secretary. For Secretary of State Grant intends to selects man of the most eminent ability. According to his description of the kind of man he desires for the post the Connecticut gentleman believes there are not more than three men ia the country who will come up to the mark, #0 that the material from which to pick ts redaced down to @ very smali quantity. The Maine men here pretend to have good as- surance that Senator Fessenden is the man who ts destined to be offered the foreign portfolio. The Massachusetts men as confidently state that Motley, Adams or Sumner will be honored with the appointment—so that it is really quite dificult to come to any conclusion as to who stands the beat chance. Evidences of a Coming Storm. Thus his response to the Congressional committee that informed him of bis election shows that in the matter of the selection of his constitutiona! advisers he does not intend to be dictated to or embarrassed by any of the customary influences, He indicates plainiy enough that he wants to be let alone on that subject; that he does not invite advice from any quarter, and that in fact he will regard volunteer contributions in that line as simply impertinent. Of course he did not say this so plainly as | put it; but ti doubtedly what he meant, and what the Jeaders of the republican party believe he intended toconvey. I say they believe it, but they do not at all relish it, some of them already say he is moum- ing too high a horse, putting on too many airs, and treating with contempt the old and tried statesmen of the country. Is he any better, quoth they, than former Presidents, that he scorns to consuit with Senators and Representatives, whose fidelity to the Union has been tried over and over again, whose wisdom has been acknowledged on ail hands, and whose honesty is above suspicion! This evidence of mortification and disappointment ‘on the part of some of the old leaders, and the bulk of them at that, bodes a coming storm. There isa rumbling in the political elemente that pretty cer- tainly indicates a thundering time ahend—a thunder. ing that cannot remain pent up long after the 4th proximo, Consideration of the Alabama Clains Treaty. ‘The action of the Committee on Foreign Re ations, who have resdived to recommend tne rejection of the Alabama claims treaty, has not met with a cor- responding unanimity from the other Senators. The Teport has not been made to the Senate in executive session, and hence the members of that body gene- tally are not yet oMicially advised of the grounds upon which the committee base their conclusions. | It Is said by some of the Senators the discussion of | the report on so important a question would occupy More time than the Senate could now bestow upon it, considering the advanced period of the session and the large amount of legisiative business to be transacted; therefore it Is probable the consideration of the treaty will be deferred till the next session of Congress. Itis certain, so far as can be ascertained, that the Sengte will act with due deliberation upon the subject. The Banks-Grant Vicksburg Story. Some time ago 9 search was made in the War De- partment for that famous order directing Banke to reueve Liaavor to GmmMand defore the capiure of Vicksbiitg, The scn-* -**hst ma nesead amaveil. ws wh ee pow nen ing, bus further investigation since has led to the recovery of an old letter book of General Halleck, containing ali the correspondence on the subdject, including the order for the removal of Grant, The order was signed by Halleck, but was of course inspired by Stanton, who at that time directed all the correspondence of Halleck. This 1s the trath of the whole story. General Banks’ iriends are urging him to give all the papers in his posseaston on the subject to the Public; but he still refuses to do so. ~*~ The Appropriation Bill. The Appropriation Committee of the House is hav- ing quite a sore trial with the ofiicers of the diverent departments and bureaus, who are continually after them with ali the influence they can muster to procare changes in the Civil Appropriation bill for the purpose of retaining the force of employés in their reapect- ive bureaus, Inasmuch as the father of the House andthe watch dog of the Treasury 1s prevented by itlnegs from guarding the bill which makes such havoc among the government clerks it ts very proba- ble that the Appropriation bill will undergo some important modifications. It is said that the appro- priation for the Patent Office has been considerably increased. The bill as it originally stood neceasi- tated the reduction of the Paient OMce force very extensively, On the last day of June next thirty- four clerks and all the copyista, both male and female, about seventy-five in all, would bave been discharged, Inauguration Proceedings. ‘The inauguration proceedings will be very elabo- rate and imposing, judging from the amount of work that the committees that have charge of the matter have already performed. Brevet Major Alex- ander S. Webb has been selected as marshal-in-chief of the procession. It is intended to have 100 mar- she nd assistants, and the various ward organi- zations have been requested to nominate three for appointment. The following organizations will take a place in the procession:— Wecacoe Legion, composed of members of the Wecacoe Engine Company who served in the Union army. Washington Grays. Baxter Fire Zouaves. Independent Guard, of Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Invincibles, who, it is thought, will occupy the right of the line, It is expected that the Loyal Veterans, of which John Cochrane is the head, and the Central Grant Club, of San Francisco, will make their appearance. The Soldiers and Sailors’ Unions of Frederick, Ma., Wilmington, Del.; Boston, Mass. ; Providence, R. L.; Cincinnatl, Ohto., and of other cities through- out the Union will be present, Arrangements have been already made to accom. modate 1,000 from Boston. The flremen’s division from this city will consist of the United States Brigade, with visiting companies from Philadelphia, Reading, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Newbern, N. C., aud other places, Itisrumored that a difference exists as to who shall act as marshal on the occasion, and in conse- quence those in the government departments will parade separately with their respective guests, Preparations for the Iuauguration Ball, The Inaugaration Ball Committee have engaged the bands of the Marine Corps, Annapolis Naval Academy and the Tweifth and Forty-fourth regi- mente, numbering in all 120 pleces, The tickets of admission have just been issued, the engravers being Messrs. Phelps & Solomen, of this city. The one admitung ladies measures seven by ten inches, In the centre is a bust of Grant, laurel crowned, with his motto in rays of light behind hts head, At the foot of the bust are sprigs of oak and Jaurel and American flags on each side. On the right is Peace, with ner palm branch and wings, strewing the eartn with bless. ings; returning Commerce represented by a ship under full gail, and at her feet the plough and other symbols of agriculture covering up the effects of the strife. Represented by a deserted gun half lost in the growth at the opposite side is Columbia, severe and assured, with the cap of libercy and the horn of plenty. In the distance the Capitol, arched by the bow of promise in token of better times. The com- mittee have extended invitations to all the ministers ot foreign legations, who, it is expected, will attend in court costumes. These, with those sent to the President and Vice President elect and their fami- lies, are all the invitations the committee intend to issue, The demand for tickets is very great, and the indications are that there will be an unusually large and brilliant assemblage. The Darkies and the Inauguration Ball. In the matter of the inauguration ball the irre- pressible nigger has come up ounce more, A darky named Richardson has informed Mayor Bowen that a number of his dusky relatives and friends medi tate coming along here from Philadelphia and New York to attend the ball, and wants to know if any objection exists as to their free and happy amaigamation in the dance with the white folks that may be present, Bowen replies that any person of respectabie character and standing 1 tne community who applies for @ ticket will not be dented, the question of color never having arisen in the committee, and the Ethiopian was forgotten for the nonce, This, however, will spoil the whole aifair, as the vertest radicals have no desire for the pro- posed amalgamation. Asan evidence of the determination of the negrocs to attend the inauguration ball, one of them, a scavenger in one of the wards, has bet $100 that he will be present, and has put up the money. If some action Is not taken about the matter in time a row may happen, Dinner Party at the Attorney General's. Attorney General Evarts’ dinner party last evening was perhaps the most complete in every respect of any that has ocourred here this winter. It was in honor of the Judges of the Superior Court of the United States, but im addition there were present several Cabinet officers, together with @ number of distinguished members of both houses of Con- gress aad @ few prominent officers of the army. Among them were Chief Justice Chase, Justices Neilson, Field, Miller, Swayne and Davis, Secre- tary Browning, Secretary McCulloch, Secretary Schofield, Senators Trumbull and Hendricks, Gen- eral Garfleld, Jas. F, Wilson of Iowa, General Geo. H, Thomas, General Terry and Caleb Cushing. General Grant was not invited, for the reason that he has dectined all invitations of @ similar character since the formal announcement of his election to the Presifency by the President of the Senate. A feature of the occasion was @ mammoth boquet, several feet in circumference, composed of rare flowers, It was fringed with violets #o arranged as to form the words “Justitia fat, ruat prandium,” a vit of wit which was relished greaily by ali present. The Independence ef Cuba, Congressman Robyison, of Brooklyn, intends this week, if he can get the for, to offer a resolution censuring the Committee on Foreign Affairs for non-action in the case of several subjects of im- portance, Mr. Robinson thinks the committee should have given consideration to Cuban matters among other things, and intends vo offer the follow- ing resolution on Mouday :—~ Whereas by the recent revolution in Spain the party claiming the a4 to hold Caba in subjection was banished from Ler an and whereas the people of = thus establishing for themselves Ve oi) seit government, cannot consistentiy deny that right to people of Cuba; and whereas said people of Caba have for four months success- fully the invaders who, without color of ternational law, are now pouring troops into that country to stifle the free voice and crush the liberties of that brave people; therefore, Resolved, That the Committee on Foreign Affairs be iustructed to report forthwith @ bili recogni the independence of Cuba, as we have recogaized = Pret onic of Spain, from the oppressors of bot Accident to Senator Saulsbur.

About 50,000 acres of this tract is well adapted for agricultural purposes, the surface being generally rolling and the soil of superior quality, while the balance is suitable for grazing purposes, tho whole tract being clothed with a fine growth of excellent grass. There is no timber on the tract, but if can be found in abundance about eight miles North, with @ gently rolling country intervening. ‘These lands lie in the valloy of the Yakama river, an affuent of the Columbia.

A BIG INDIAN JOB. New Rald en the National Treasury by the Cherokee Indians—The War Whoop Sounded—The Indian Ring Beats the Whis- key and Treasury Rings Combined—The Mest Nefarious Job Yet. WASHINGTON, Feb, 20, 1869, ‘The most nefarious job ever before any legislative body ts now before the Senate, to be considered in secret session only. It 1s styled “Articles of agree- ment between the United States of America, repre- ented by N.

Scales and Elias 0, Boudinot, with full powers to conclude the same. ‘The compact, bargain or ‘treaty’ entered into se- cretly between the above-mentioned worthies—a portion of whom served in the rebel army—takes untold millions of dollars from our national Trea- sury; yet it is to be acted upon by the Senate in secret session, When perhaps no more than two members are present, and the people or the representatives are to know nothing of the bargain until after it is concluded, except what they learn through the HERALD. The Senate is at this time “treating” for the pur- chase of immense tracts of lands with the Cherokee Indians, a tribe who inhabit a portion of our own public domain and who always have been practi: cally paupers of the United States. They have never paid taxes even to support their own local govern- ment or schools, much less anything for the support of the national government. They have for years been @ constant burden to the taxpayers of this na- tion; and yet the Senate is at this time tad cor sidermg @ “treaty’’ with them, preci as the Oherokees were an independent nation J France or Russia, for the purchase of millions of dollars’ Worth of lana within our own boundary. This treaty starts out with the modest assump- tion that the Cherogee Indians are an independent nation like France or S| Having thus comfort- ably settled the status of the tw ations,” they pro- vide, in article four, that tae United States shall par- chase of the Cherokee nation a certain tract of land, situated just north of Texas, containing altogether about 13,768,000 acres, for the modest sum of 33,500,000, @ portion of which is to be deducted to pay certain expenses, a portion to be distributed among the Cherokees per capita, “by some suitable agent who shall be selected by the Secretary of the Interior,” and the balance, if any there be, invested for the futare beneiit of future Cherokees, the United States meanwhile taxing all ite inhabitants, except Indians, to the interest, The Cherokee nation, however, reserves all salines in the ceded lands west of the Arkansas river, “to- gether with the free use of wood, coal and other fa- cilities requisite for the ny iggy grand of said salines pied lah et manufacture <- it a pa a e of exporting and disposing from taxation.”” When tt 14 considered that every inch of these lands 3s within the boundarica of the United 5 ates and ts really @ portion of our national domaia, and that the it Who will have the distribution of the afore- said $3,600,000 can, if he chooses, ret a large tion of it to be divided in the lobby, it will be scen- where the plunder comes in. F rmore, it must be rewembered that a large portion of the lands in question ts entirely worthless, excepting for the pur- pose of manufacturing salt, which 18 reserved in the treaty, together with a stipulation that the business shall forever be tax So muca for the fourth Put it down at Articles five and six are un t, enth gives the ‘‘ treaty” makers another grab at the taxpayera’ treasury—this time an unlimited grab. Here It is entire:— AxticLe 7 The government of the United States being in arrears to the Cherokee nation for several years of its annuity funds, accruing durt the late war and remaining unpatd, it is agreed the government will pay the nation amount of said arrears, whatever the same may be, and when received it shall be applied in accordance with treaty stipulations. defy the reader to find a more brazen-faced piece of assurance a that merger of otaaarae be- tween @ great government and @ ol who have subsisted on ita bounty for generatoane Article eight provides that the laws of the United States shall be null and void in that portion of our national domain occupied and held by the “Cherokee nation.” New York merchants know to their cost what it ts to give credit to any trader within the Cherokee nation's limits. The chances of collecting just duesare about as good, and no better than im ‘he confederacy during the presidency of Jellerson Davas. Article nine provides the the Cherokee Indian ut on investigate certain claims heid by the cfizens of the Cherokee nation against the United States, and the Secretary of the Interior shall pay all such awards, be the same more or less, Set down article — ‘at $1,000,000 or Oiee eee ps Article eleven provides for me rtain other ciaims of the Cherokee nation or Cherokee tn- dividuals againgt the United States. Under this pro- vision, judging trom 1 observation, $10,000,000 worth of claims against the United States could be hunted up by sharp and experienced Indian ringists. ‘The history of @ claim that grew from $5,0v0 to 000, a8 set forth in the H&kALD of October 24, shows how such matters are managed, Arucle twelve provides for additional oMces to carry out Sora china of the “treaty.” And as a Plersant relief arucie sixteen ros for the pay- ment of still another batch of Cherokee clams against the United States for commissary and quar- termaster’s stores furnished the United States, also. ail ciatins for property lost or destroyed by the tions of iato. war on account of the faliare by the United states to protect the Cherokees, Here ié will be observed that the Cherokees are citi- zens of the United States when the question for damages on account of the failure to receive the pro- tection of the government comes up, but = inde- pendent “nation,” like France or Eugland, A30R, porriele sixteen of this notable “treaty” i the coolest yet. It is as followa:—‘Every Cherokee shall bave the right to sell any product of his farm, including bis jive stock or any merchandise or manufactured products, and to ship or drive the same to market without restraint or paying tax thereon to the United States or to any one of them; and no itcenge to trade with the Cherokee pation in foods, wares or merchandise shall be granted by he United States to of it citizens, unless ap- proved by the Cherokee National Council.” No State in the Union has ever claimed any such rights as have here been accorded the “Cherokee nation” by the high tre making powers whose names are affixed to the document now before the , to be considered in secret session only.
