Probably, after all, he took bis steps backward only in order to get a good start—Aete York Herald, June 89. Frank Blair, Jr., has taken no “new departure" by wbicb bo will ever affirm that the “reconstruction measures" were not “unconstitutional and revolutionary" in their character; nor that they were not carried by "fraud, jrrfiily, and violence.” This great truth, the Herald may rest » sored, be bae not denied, and never will deny. He is, indeed, a progressive Dem ocrat; bat the line of progress he is on » that which leads to the .restoration of the rights of the States, and with them the rights of the poople. —Atlanta Sun, July4. While Senator Blair admits that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments were passed by frawl, perfidy amt vio lence, he still acknowledges their legally binding force as a part and parcel of the Constitution, and that they can only be eradicated by the voice of the peoplo at the ballot-box, and not by revolution.— Does Mr. Stephens admit as much? If so, there is no deep ditch nor high well between himself, Senator Blair, Hoffman, Hancock, Hendricks, Adams, and the entire National Democracy, North and South.—Dr. Bard, July 5. Mr. Stephens admits that the bent mid surer! remed y for all usurpations in onr system of Government, is to have them “eradicated by the poople at the ballot-box,” and in this ho be lieves ho fully agrees with an “over- wlielming majority of all true Demo crats” North and South. The “deep ditch and high wall" be tween Mr. Stephens and Dr. Hurd is, that the Doctor thinks that these iniquitous measures, carried by fraud, perfidy amt violence,” (which he aided in so carrying) should never bo “eradicated” ut all; but should lie de clared to have been carried "in the tnanwr and by the authority Consti tutionally appointed.” The difference between Mr. Ste phens and Dr. Hard is simply the difference between true Democracy and genuine Radicalism. A. H. S. rU£ PENNSYLVANIA DEMO CRACY. Getting ott “the New” Platform and on “ Ike OM.” ed right* of the States, not only because they at* guaranteed by the Federal Con stitution but beosnae the States stone be trusted ' To cowardly cringe to Radical tisurpa- / tion or bawdy submit to a course of repu diation of the glorious reoords of tlie past ten years of tho Democratic party for the sake of pandering to a depraved publio, or for the aake of sneaking into power through a back door, is furthest from tho thoughts and purposes of the Democratic party, and we can assure onr Radical friends that they mistake us wholly if they understand onr recognition of the existence of the amendments ss a recog nition of the soundness of their danger ous and destructive policy. So says the Goshen (N. Y.) liepuh- lican (Democratic paper) of the 29th of June. It shows the true sentiment of the Democratic party everywhere. While they recognize tho Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution us dc facto parts of it— to lie obeyed as such so long ns they have" the form of law, under the in terpretation nml construction of those clothed with |>ower to expound and enforce them.'yet they never will cense at all projier times and on all proper occasions, to denounce the flagrant usurpations of power by which they' were inaugurated and by which alone they are cluimcd to have liecoine in corporated into tho organic law of the Union. The true Deinocrrcy every where is for law and order. They look to the intelligence, the virtue and patriotism of the people at the ballot- box as the surest mode of redress against all wrongs in Government, either State or Federal. But they never will, by their votes at the ballot- box, give their sanction to the iniqui tous policy by which these Amend ments are claimed to have been car ried; nor will they ever consent to any trammels by which they will lie cs- tup/xd from arraigning “before the bar of public reason” usurpations, of w hatever grade or character, us well os their authors. The mission of the Democracy is to rescue the lilierlies of this country from the hands of tlio-e now bent upon their destruction. To do this successfully, it seems to us, every con sideration of good sense, os well as impulse of duty, dictates that course, iu the struggle on the part of the de fenders of the Constitution, which will not allow of any winking at, con niving at, much less any sanctioning of any on# of those Uiurpations which liave so signally marked Radical Fro- grew for the hut five years. A.H.U, Ho Far Ho Good. ••ShomUwe wander from these” (the prinAples qf the tU creed) “to moments of error or alarm, Ut us hasten to rotmee our stops ami to repain the road which aUme lends to pence, Shorty and safety.—{JlSTKMOOV'e In IRAOGCRA The Fliiladclphia Aye, of the 29th of June, brings us the address of the Executive Committee of the Demo cratic party of Pennsylvania, to the people of that State, on the issues of the pending State elections. The address is signed by William A. Wallace, Chairman of the Committee. Whether he hod anything to do with the Harrisburg Putform, oil which the New Departure standard was hoisted recently,we do not know. But, if he hud anything to do with that, he has certainly been convinced of the error of his ways, and is “retracing his steps” at the earliest jiossible moment. In the Address we see nothing of tho “New Departure” Platform, nor of tho heresies it proclaimed. The very"first announcement is, “ We here by solemnly renew our often repeated declaration of fidelity to the great principles upon which our party has acted from the time of its first or ganization.” That has the ring of the old metal. We have not space for all of the Ad dress, but cannot omit a portion which clearly bIiows how widely he is off the track, marked out by the Harrisburg Resolutions which deprecated all dis cussions, thereafter, of the monstrous usurpations of Congress by which the XIVth and XVth Amendments were carried. All this lias in it the ring of the right metal. We refer specially to what follows: No candid person will deny that the leading men in power at Washington have been unfaithful to thoir duties.— They have broken the pledges they inode to the people, and, in reckless disregard to their oaths, they have violated the plainest provisions of the Constitution. They have deprived the States of their sacred (right of self-government in mat ters purely local, and disarmed them of the (rawer to enforce their on laws for tho preservation of order within their own boundaries; they have passed bills of paiiiH and penalties operating on millions at once without regard to tho guilt or in- nooence of the parties; they have tram pled on ell the securities if life, liberty and property; treated tho luibene corpus law with contempt, and denied tho right of trial by jury; thoy bavo sent out swarms of their hireling agents with in structions to kidnap, imprison aud kill free citizens for politioul offences, with out judicial accusation, without warrant, and without legal trial. They have not only trodden upon tho groat principles embodied in tho original Constitution os it came from tho hands of its framors, but oven the amendments, which they themselves interpolated, have been bro ken without remorse whenever it suited their interests. In defianoe of the XHIth, they have doomed many poisons to the worst kind of "slavery or involuntary servitude” in tho publio prisons, without the pretence of any “crime whereof tho party was legally convicted;" iu the faco of the xrvth, they havo abridged the “equal rights" of wbolo masses of white oitizena; without the least respect for the right of universal suffrage guaranteed by tho XVth, they have interfered both for cibly and fraudulently to prevont fair elections, and to sot them aside after they were hold. Theso outrages upon justice, liberty and law, havo boen perpetrated, not dur ing the conflict of a civil war, not ill mo menta of wild passion or heated excite ment, but in cold blood, npon deliberate reflection, in n time of profound peaoe, in full view of tho consequenoo—and their authors have followed out this line of policy, s:.., ■<> with a persisten cy which allows their u. <1 .ietermination for the as in the past, to bo bound by no oath and bultl by no promise. Tho two last an-! most important of their nnti-Conatitntional measures show more distinctly than others their settled design to strangle the lilierties of the na tion and take perpetual power into their own hands. The force bill authorizes tho President not only to invade tho States at his pleasure, bat by declaring martial law to subvert all government, except what consists of his mere will.— Under tho election law his cannon is planted directly ogninst the freedom of Stale elections. Already the bayonets of the F,xoculivc have gleamed around the polling places of tho people in the cities of New York and Philadelphia. Who can mistake tho meaning of those prepa rations for the next Presidential eleeliou? Who doubts that warning and rebuke are needed now to prevent the administration from carrying out its purpose by force? If the warning bo not given by tho peo ple, or fail of its propor effect, can wo liope for peace 1 It seems to us an error to suppose the American people tame enough to be kiokod under tho yoke of a despotism, or iguomut enough to be jug gled out of the great inheritance of free government which their fathers left them. Wo complain of onr present rulers for usurpation of power. Power not delega ted is always abused. Iu this, ns in oth er eases, usurpation has l>eeu accompa nied sad followed by nsnrpstion. Frauda without number, and almost without lim it, havo been committed on the public. As if convinced that the Democ racy of Pennsylvania eonld never be brought to sustain the Harrisburg Platform, Mr. Wallace and his (loin- mittee seem very wisely to have oome to the conclusion to throw away that one and put up another and belter ouc in its stead. The new one is in these words: can ••lily be trusted with the manage ment of their awn local oonoerns. 5. To reduce the expenditure of the Government by confining it* appropria tion* to legitimate object*, by a rigid sys tem of accountability and eoonomy, and by abolishing much of the unnecessary and pernicious machinery with which ft is encumbered. 6. To moderate tho burdens of the peo ple, not only by economical adminiatre- tion, but by a system of taxation npon foreign imports as well as domestic pro ductions, which shell be just and eqaal in it* operations npon the property and business of the ooantry, not ennehinj some while it impoverishes others, sin not open to the frauds now habitoally practiced. 7. To preserve the pnblic credit by the prompt payment of the publio obli gations. 8. To consecrate the public lands to the use of the landless people who need it, by a system which will secure a suffi ciency to all, and stop at onoe the long series of swindle* by which so many millions of acres have been given away to those who already have more than enongh. These are some of the dnties which lie before the people if they dessire to see their government administered with a deoent respect for the Constitution of their fathers, or with tolerable honesty in financial matters. We have no test of orthodoxy—no dia- abilities for, nor discriminations against former political antagonists. We cannot and do not object to bygone differences, irovided the citizen be truly and faith- ! ully devoted now to the interests and institutions of the whole conntiy, and all tile inhabitants thereof. Onr object is not revolution, bnt resto ration; not injury to our opponents, but an assertion of our own rights and those of onr fellow-citizens. By order of the Democratic State Ex ecutive Committee. William A Wallacs, Chairman. This new one lias the “Bourbon” When the Dc- ring throughout, mocrncy of the Union shall get on it, without any sanction pf usurpations of nny sort, it will then lie on the high road—not only to victory, but to the fulfillment of its misssion to save the free institutions of this coun try from Centralism and l)es|>otism. A. II. 8. In this connection, we desire to say that we will not be drawn into the din cuasion of personal matters, or past dead political i-snes. Wo are laboring to re lieve our people of their political bur dens too grievous to be borne. The past bus little or nothing to do with the terri ble surroundings of the present. Hi stand squarely on the recent Con gremuoiml Democratic Address, ns well ns on the address of thePennaylvuuii Dem ocratic Executive Committee, which we here give:—Dl\ Bard, July 5. The past has everything to do with “the terrible surroundings of the pres ent.” What has brought tho country to its present sad condition so much ns the openly avowed usurpations of Congress within the last f ve years?— Are those “dead issuest” It is true Dr. Bard aided in im posing these great evils upon the States and the peoplo, and may desire that they be considered os dead. Bnt the recent Congressional Address does not so treat them, nor docs the more recent address of the Executive Committee of tho Pennsylvania De mocracy so treat them. If Dr. Bard stands squarely upon these, he stands squarely upon our grounds, of de nouncing these usurpations, ns the real cause and source of “the terrible surroundings of the present,” and if the country is to be “relieved,” it is to lie “relieved” only by putting the authors of “these terrible surround ings" out of power for their most mis chievous misdeeds.

Tlie unplrtftant feel ing engendered has spread fur beyond the limits of onr city, till the medical profession of the State is arrayed into two antagonistic parties, who are almost hostile lo ouch other—a very bitter feeling being manifested by piite u number on both sides. Wo have never investigated this ■use—do not understand its merits, and therefore do not take sides on it Our correspondent “J.,” iu his report of the convention, which appeared yesterday morning in Thb Sun, though no name is mentioned, alludes to some physician in Atlanta in terms somewhat uncomplimentary—to some xtent charging him with having aid ed iu bringing about this unfortunate state of feeling.

DeL Augustus H. Kenan, were generally known throughout Georgia, and at many, no donbt, desire to Unow the particulars of the late tragedy, result ing in the death of Capt Kenan, we give the following fact* which we be lieve are entirely reliable: Captain Kenan and Mr. Strother, who ha4ttlvionsly been friends, had a diffleu j^of a purely private char acter sevectl months ago. About six weeks Ao, Capt K, having heard that Mn Strother had threatened to kill him, procured a doable barrel gun and shot at 8. twice, neither charge taking effect Friends inter fered and Mr. Strother denying that he had ever made such a threat, both parties were induced to sign an in strument in writing, pledging them selves not to renew the difficulty, or interfere with each other except to have their differences adjusted in Court Under these circumstance, and as both parties were generally seen upon the streota apparently unarmed, all apprehensions of a renewal of the difficulty bad passed away, and hopes were entertained by the friends of both that the settlement would finally be amicable and permanent Messrs. Strother and Kenan lived wterii two hundred yards of each other pnd on the ontskircs of the city. They were both seen about sunset, Monday evening, the 3d instant, go ing toward their homes. Strother was on the side of the street on which both lived. Kenan had two or three bundles of goods in his arms which he was carrying home. On the way Strother stopped at the house of a relative and got a rifle whieh he had left there. When near the Executive Mansion, Kenan took his usual path across tho street tu his house, and, iu doing so was approaching Strother, and when within some fifteen or twenty feet, Strother leveled the gun and fired, the lull I passing through Kenau’s chest, killing him almost in stantly. He did not live more than fifteeu or twenty minutes. As he fell ho looking at Strother,-said, “John, what did you do this for ? ” If Kenan gave any other cause for the shooting thun is given above we learn thut it did not come out at the Coroner’s investigation. Strother has not beon arrested, as he oannot be found; bnt his friends say he will appear for trial at the proper time. Capt. Lewis H. Kenan was known os a highly honorable and chivalrous gentlemau, and one who would tuke no mean advantage of a foe. As an illustration of this, we will relate an incident which oocurod many years ago. His father had offended a young gentleman of Milledgeville, aud the latter was publicly abusing him when Lewis came up and at once etqionBed the cans*' of his father. The yonng man had a single barrel pistol which he discharged at Lewis, who immedi ately returned the fire using a re peater, and wounded his antagonist in the leg. He fired a second shot and was about to fire a third, when his antagonist called out, “Lewis you are a d d coward 1 I have no more •hots und you are still firing at me! ” Kenan immediately oeased firing and replied, “Bill, why didn’t yon tell me so before? I didn’t know it.” He afterward visited and nursed his an tagonist while his wound was healing. In referring to Capt. Kenan, the Mooou Telegraph and Messenger says: We pause for a moment in the rash of Life's selfish straggle, to say s few words in honor of the memory of one of the traeet gentlemen and most chivalrous men we have ever ooonted it onr good fortune to osll friend. We rneen Ceptain Lewis H. Kkian, of Milledgeville, who wsa shot and killed sbont sunset, last Monday, by John & Strother. Of the particulars of his death—of the drenm- stanoee immediately pieoeding and at tending it, we have no knowledge, but we oan safely affirm, notwihatanding, that he met his untoward fate with the aerone courage and nublenohing nerve for whieh he wss ever distinguished, and whieh were not only inherent in hie own charac ter, but also the logical sequences of liis bfcth and breading. Among all tha knightly legions who fought for the “ Lost Cause," there was net one hie superior in penonal gallantry or earnest devotion. We reteem it a privilege to write that we knew him well, and liked him better. Aseoefctiou in Uie I regiment during the latter (xiriiou of the late civil war, was tha basis of a friandahip as cordial and pleasant aa any we ever enjoyed.

Amiens, July 7. The Prussians have declared this city to be in a state of siege, and much ex citement prevails among the iuhabitantN in consequeuee. The hostility which has been exhibits by citizens and others toward the Prussian troops occupying this district, and which' has never been entirely suppressed, has caused serious uneasiness to the civil authorities, and have been persisted in despite of previ ous warning. fC few days since a Prus sian soldier was found assassinated.
