Tho Democrats of Maryland havo nominated Hon. Wm. Pinokney Whyte, for Governor. Tho Democrats evidently have a "Whyte man’s party” in that Stato. *@- The Cincinnati Gazette urges upon tho Republican party “the importance of selecting good men for office.” This amounts to an exhortation to the Repub licans to select their candidates from the Democratic ranks. Bpk„ A poem, recited by John Hay, at the triennial reunion of the Army of the James, which took place in New York on tho evening of tho 19th, appears in the Western papers on the morning of the 20th. It was sent by telegraph. fta?- It is said that the President direct ly ordered Akerman to is3no that circular relntivo to the enforcement of tho Ku- Klax act; but the alacrity with which tho Attorney flew to respond, was tho con ception of that tender lovo which he bears toward the Southern people. Bgk. Horace Greeley tells us that some of the purest and best women of New England havo gone Sonth to teach the colored children. If tho “purest and best” of them have como South, olaB! what must they bo who romained at homo I B6L The principal occupation of the French people is saying masses for tho repose of tho soul of tho Archbishop whom they murdered.

Tho price of Radical votes now is $1,871 a poll, and if they were cheapened any, tho poor voters would hardly be able to subsist; for, “vote early and oltcu” ns they can, tho aggregate would not amount to a clever pot of “grease.” Briy-Homce Greely is aUnivorsalist; yet in himself is furnished a strong argument against tho creed of that church. It would not do for him to be saved, as his strong agricultural proclivities would at once lead him to apply a few grafts to the tree which yields “twelve manner of fruits,” in order to see if tho number could not ho increased to thirteen. ISp- The “intolerance” of tho South ern peoplo toward their Northern “friends” can no longer he questioned. Near Brandon, Mississippi, only a few days pgo, a couple of virtuous New Eng land young ladies, who had left all the comforts of home and come down South to teach tho poor negroes how to road, were cruelly ostracised, for no other reason than that they went bathing with some virtuous and inoffensive negro men. Certainly tho remarkable temper of these Southern peoplo needs subjugation. At the Morgue. OX A. B. WAT.OS.

The Chicago Republican has a can didate for President, audits language is lilaine. “ P no he ness to utterly inconse quent conclusions” is pointed out its a fault of female writers. The “Interviewing” business having obtained large popularity in journalism, wo concluded some days ago to keep pace with the ago in all that can lend in terest to tho colnmns of a progressive newspaper, and so sent oar favorite re porter, B. O. Hemion, Esq., to call upon the distinguished gentleman whose name appears above. Arriving at his place of business, our reporter found Col. Webster seated in one of his barber chairs strapping a razor, and issuing orders, general and special, to tho members of his tonsorial staff— The morning being warm, the Colonel was in his shirt sleeves, and his faco gave evidenco of the recent and most artistic touches of somo one of his aids-<rbar- bier-shop. His magnificent Bide whis kers—a la mililaire in the severest sense— had been freely pomaded, brushed and frangipanied in the highest degree of the profession in which he holds conspicu ous position. “Take a chair, sah;yoar tarn next— fast come, fustsarved, am de rule here,' was tho greoting roceivod by our reporter on entering. “CoL Webster, I beliove," enquired the reporter. “Yes, sah; that is, ‘Bob Yanoy,’ as I am best known here; but de name I claims as gelitimate are Robert Webster. Take dis ’ere choir—your turn next— Here, Gilbert, take this genlum's things.” “No, Colonel; am obliged for yoarkind attentions; but I do not present myself this morning as a patron of yonr establish ment. I am a member of tho press—that palladinm of our liberties—and it is upon affairs of State that I have the honor to call npon yon, Colonel. Sir, your lino- ngo is well known to, and is appreciated by the masses of this liberty—loving land; and whatevor may bo yonr views upon matters of public polioy, and how ever reticent you may havo been in tho past on all tho great questions now agita ting the country, such is tho peril of the 'situation” now, Colonel, that your fel- low-oonntrymen havo the right to know your views, and it is upon such a mission that I havo done myself the honor to wait upon yon." 'Yes, sah; take dis ’ere chair, and I’ll wait on you myself. Hero, Gilbert, clean dis genlum’s boots, and hand me my cup and lathering brush. Whar’s de soap? and who’s been using my strap? Gilbert, keep do flies off’n dis genlum.” Mr. Vallandigham, whose tragic fate, Colonel, is yet fresh in onr memory” Gilbert, whar’s your fly-brush, hoy?” ‘Fresh, I say, in our memory, was tho originator of tho new departure theory of restoring this’ wretchedly distracted nation; hut so divided is publio opinion upon tho correctness of tho doctrines enunciated by him, and so much discus sion lias resulted therefrom, that it is im portant that we should havo ail tbn-light wo can get" “Ohl yea, sah; good light is mighty necessary, and I did have gas in dis shop, but dey charges too high. I burns Pctro now. Fling open dat shutter dar, Gil bert.” “Tho idea is, Colonel—and it is tho wish of all good men both South and North—to construct somo sort of plat form upon which the lovors of liberty in t >th sections can stand. The truo patri ots of all sections of tho Union ore one in sentiment, as to the preservation of those liberties bequeathed to us by the sires of 7C, but the difficulty is to bring them together. A feeling of homogeneity is wanted to bo inculcated between the masses at the North and Sonth, and the question at lost resolves itself ioto a platform—such an one os all can Btand upon. And now, Colonel, let thecountry have the benefit of your opinion as to how we con construct such a platform.” Well, air, I isn’t much of a carpenter, and ha'nt had no heap of ’sperienco in lumber and tools. Ise been Bhavin' and waitin’ on genlnms pretty much oil my life hero and in Washington City, but de fust things you'll have to get is some mighty good lumber. If it's a big meet- in' yon are goin’ to have, and there'll be a heap of peoplo up on the stand, it Bhonld bo mode very strong, and yon don't want no d—d fool carpenter to pat it together. Gilbert, quit flinging your watermelon rind on the floor dar. In dis town in 1808, I saw some of 'em build a platform under a brush arbor. But it wasn’t an easy one, some bow. It didn't exactly break down, bnt some of tho genlums didn't stay on it much. Mr. Ben. Hill was dar for a while, and seemed to enjoy hisscif mightly, bat he left it later in de day.” Ah, well, Colonel, that is past and gone—that is a ‘dead issue,'as Governor Bard would say ; besides, it is not the kind of platform I allude to.” Governor Bard, did you say ? Whar is ho now ? ’’ Here in this city.” I used to shave him whon he was a private citizen here, but he went off and got elected Governor of Massachusetts, and hasn’t been in my shop since. I wonder if bo mokes os good a Governor as Mr..Bollock. I rec .lloct when I need to lather (he was a Dr. then) Governor Bard, he would hither Governor Bullock and Mr. KimbalL Does he do that still, and do yon reckon he would pardon eith er of them if they should get into a scrape ? ” “lam rooily unable to say what Gov ernor Bard would do, Colonel; hut I be lieve he does not now “ lather” Governor Bullock and Mr. Kimball at all; besides you are iu error about his being Govern or of Massachusetts. Ho was appoiutod by President Grant to tho high and re sponsible position of Governor of the Territory of Idaho, but did not assume the greatness thrust upon him." Yes, it seems to me I've rood some where in Pilgrim's Progress or Robinson Crusoe about men being born great- achievin' groatnon—and having great ness thrust upon them. Governor Bard, like myself, kolongs to do latter class.— Dors a sympathy between ns. Yon know, sir, that I am mighty proud of the foot, bat it is not dao to any merit of my own, that I am Robert Webster—it was thrust npon me." Do you think, Colonel, that the nn- constitutionality of the Constitution, ns au abstract proposition, can ho main tained, and that any government, Fede rative or Confederate, resting upon Buck a basis, is susceptible of porpotuation ? ” * Yes, sah, dat it anil, if folks will do right” Then you recognize the eternal prin ciples of magna charts, and rather stand on the platform of tho Hartford Con vention, if I understand you ?” No; I never done dat—I wasnt novor dar in my life—never seed Hartford. I used to go in do b’g Atlanta Conven tion and hear Operia Bradley speak, and Mr. Bryant and I always corroborates dar statements. But I never saw no Hartford Convention, and I never saw Magna Ckarta ; if I did I did'nt know him. Was ho on the Stato Road with Mr. Harris and Senator Blodgott ?” 'No, Colonel, I think not, jading from the way things were monagod thore.— But I seo you are somewhat averso to freely expressing yonr political views. Why is that Colonel? ‘Well boss, I’so naturally a modest man, and do not like to havo nfy opin ions paraded through tho newspaper-'. I am very happy boro among my razors, soaps, combs and brushes, and do not wish to be fotchcd into politics.— Governor Bard and I, both, bo- belongs to do 'Publicans, and I likes dis 'ore kind of oceum cum dignilaticum to being nominated to an offleo by tho Gov ernor, or eppinted to ouo by General Grant I doesn’t want to go to no St Darango, or bo mode minister to Utah. None of dat for dis chile.” You spoke of being in Washington City in early life, Colonel. You havo soon much of high life iu tho capital of tho na tion, I presume?” “Ob, yos, nab; I was horn dar, and used to live high np in do fourth story of de boss’ house; but in dem days dar wasn’t any Bowens in Congress, and wo had fust class genlums to lather and shave. De Congressmens den didn't havo four or five wives and get pardoned out'n jail, nor did tho President get a heap of pres ents liko gntno cocks, bull pups and pint- er dogs; and I novor seed Mr. Wo)»stor or Calhoun wid dar foots cocked up, eat ing goobors in tho Sonntc, No, sah,nono o’ dat in Washington when I was dar. ” Why, Colonel Webster, mu 1 would sup pose you to be a democrat to hoar yon speak. Perhaps you are ouo of the new departure” wing of that party ?” “Well, I is a sort of a democrat some times, and den agin I’se a ’Publican.— I keeps dis 'ere shop for all kinds of people, and shaves all dat'll come. I’se for what pays most— and yon seo things ain’t as easy goin' hero in Georgia as they was somo time ago, 'specially on de State Road, “departs” fust from one side den from tho other, if dat's wkut you call your “new departure,” hut of course all dis is private between us. ” Hero a number of customers entered the tonsorial apartments of CoL Web ster, and the interview was brought to nn abrupt termination. “Gilbert” flew around promiscuously with his fly-brush, and the Colonel begun to lather a new face. "Take seats, genlums; your turn next; fust come,'fust served, is do into in dis shop. ” Exit reporter. For tlie Atlanta Dally Sun. THE la ATE RIOT IN YORK CITY. A Fair Statement of the Case by an Intelligent Irishman. Editors Sun : The press, general ly, in commenting on the unfortunate riot in New York on the 12th inst., arc unanimous iu condemning what they arc pleased to call the Hiberni ans, Fenians, Irish Catholics, 4c. No doubt they honestly entertain their opinions, and have not fully investi gated the causes of this uucicut feud. That all citizens have a right to as semble peaceably, or march in orderly procession, no one con deny, for it is a privilege especially guaranteed by the Constitution, which was con ceived and adopted in the interest of local as well as national peace, and intended to curb rattier than encour age personal violence. But it is plain to me that both its letter and spirit deny to any class tlie right to march through the streets of our cities with t'le professed intention to insult and irritate another class— particularly when such action is likely to cause the shedding of blood. I am aware that Orangemen and their English allies claim the 12th of July os a national day, and hold that they have as much right to celebrate it as have the Irish and Catholics to observe St. Patrick’s Day. On the 12th of July, 1790, the Irish jieople fought and bled to throw oil' the English yoke and to see their lovely Isle free and independent; hut kind fortune did not favor the Irish [teoplc on this eventful day, and in the great battle on the hanks of tho River Boyne, between two English moii- arclis—James 11 and William III— they lost their cause mid country. Their sluin were thrown in tho river; their lands confiscated and given to the followers of William of Orange; their aged pnrenls, their wives and children were driven from theirhomes and turned ont iu the cold world to live us best they could. This League of Orangemen urc tho descendants of the followers of Wil liam of Orange, and they cclehrato the 12th of July in commemoration of that battle—reminding Irishmen of their subjugation and defeat; a defeut that lost to them their country, their homes and their liberty, and lias caused them to wauder iu exile in every land. This organization marches in procession with banners, and em blems and hands of music, playing insulting tunes, such as “ The Boyne Water” and “Croppy Lio Down,” (which means rebels lio down.) Now I would ask a liberal public to put this question to their own con sciences and see how they could rel ish such. Religion has nothing to do with this matter, as somo suppose. Look at the brave Emmet, wiiobc memory will never die—a Protestant who gave his life for his countiy; also Wm. Smith O’Brien, John Mitchell, John Martin—all Protest ants, hut not Orangemen—and hun dreds of others who sacrificed all for their lovo to their native land. Tho Protestants and Catholics of Ireland walk arm in arm together on St. Pat rick’s Day, and perfect harmony exist between them. Orangemen iu Ire land havo been invited to bury past differences and have a united country, which would throw ofT tho English yoke and secure independence; hut they prefer being at enmity and to see their country held in bondage and trodden under foot by English ty rants. This feml or quarrel should not be broughlinto thisoountry. All Irish men commemorate the day on which St. Patrick lauded in Ireland—the I7th of March, in the fourth century. He found tho inhabitants in a state of paganism, and by his labors brought them to Christianity. The oelebration of this day gives no offense to any one—no cluss is insulted by it. It causes no aggra vation; therefore it is harmless.— To bring the question homo to us, let us suppose the Union League should celebrate the downfall of the Confed eracy, and march through the streets of our city with banners and em blems, and a hand of music playing “Hcbclit, Lie Down," or any insulting airs, would it he agreeable to South ern people? Would their children fifty or a hundred years hence like to see and hear such? . Would it he pleasant to he reminded of the sub jugation of their fathers and kindred? And suppose the General Govern ment had confiscated all tho lands of the Southern people, depriving them of liberty and properly, and thrust ing women and children out of their homes into the world to perish, would (hut make such a celebration any more pleasant for Southern peopt to look upon, either now or forever hereafter? J,ct us tuke another view. There are many Southern men in New York city. Suppose they were to under take to celebrate the battle of Bull Run, und march through tho city with.banners uiul emblems, and a hand of music playing “Yankee, Lie Down,” und ask the Governor of the State to protect and guard them in their procession; wlmt do you think his reply would lie? Don’t you think ho would say, “Your procession will lie an insult to tile country and to tlie people of this city, and will cause riot und bloodshed; and if you do march it must be at your peril?” I would like to aslc Gov. HofTmun if the men whom he protected were citizensof the United States? if they do not still owe allegiance to Great Britain? I am convinced that they arc not citizens and never can he un less they violate an oath which they have taken to forever support Great Britain and its present dynasty. If the United States was at war with England, tlie Governor would soon learn whether these men would assist his gallant ninth regiment An I kisii Democrat. How I lie Itnilicals have Amen ded the Constitution of Georgia. “W. I'. C.” a representative of the Journal of Commerce of New York, writing from this city to his paper, gives a very truthful account of a stupendous piece of Radical impu dence, which illustralod their utter disregard of principle, and that they do not, and will not hesitate to take my step, no matter how injurious, that will jierpotuate their power. We make the following extract: HOW TSIEY AMEND THE CONfUTCTIOS OF OEOBOIA. Among the most conspicuous infamies of the last Legislature was the passage of several very curious and disgraceful amendments to tho election laws. Tho constitution of Georgia, framed and ad opted in pursoanoo of the Reconstruc tion acts, makes the usual provision re- gurdiug voters, specifying “til male” citizens, “twenty-one years old or up wards, ” Ac. It goes on to confer the right of challenge npon any voter sees tit to ohalloDgo another, and Bays “no person ahall voto, who, if challenged, shall refuse to take the following oath.” Then it goce on to define tho oath ; the voter swears, “I have uot givon ; or roceivod, nor do I expect to give, or recoivo, any money, trout, or otlior thing of value, by which my voto, or any voto is effected or ex pected to be effected at this election ; nor have I given or promised any reward, or made any threat by which to prevent any person from voting.” Then again the constitution says ; “Legislative sots in violation of this constitution, or tho Con stitution of tho Unitod States, are void, and tho Judiciary shall so doclare them.” Now mark tho intelligence of this leg islature by what will follow: In Ootober last they deemed it best to pass an elec tion law for tho purpose of CARRYING TUB FALL ELECTION. Thoy changed tho method of voting from numerous precincts in each county to one polling place, the county seat, ex cept in cities. The election officers are called managers, and they, of course, are Republicans, but I understand the Dem ocrats were at the lost election allowed by tho Governor a kind of minority ea- pervision. The reduction in number of polling places was in order to permit neo cssary concentration of military force if necessary in carrying the elections for the Radical ticket. Then, nndor pre tense of fixing a system for soenring fair elections, preventing intimidation or tho forcing of voters from their places at tho polls, a provision was inoerted that voters shall FORM IN LINS and approach tho polls in that manner; that no more than one person shall ap proach within fiftoon feet of the polling placo at a time; that no ono who is not in tho lino shall go noarer than fifty feet of tho polling place. Only the managers and their clerks are allowed by this new law to seo the ballots when deposited or afterward. The managers must swear that they will not permit any one to “ohallougo, delay or hinder” any voter from tlie speedy casting of his vote. Thoy aro compolfod to ARREST ANT ONE who attempts to ohallengo a votor or “disturb tlie peace." Tho low also ex tends the timo for tho eondnet of the election to throe days instead of one day as was customary bofore. It will be seen by this, that while tho State Constitution expressly providos the free and untrammeled right of challenge, and even goes so far ns to oblige overy challenged man to mnko nn oath to cor- toin things abovo enumerated, the law passed by tho Legislature overrides that feature of tho Constitution; and repeals it outirely. It goes on, in deflance of the Constitution, and givos tho right of suf frage to every malo poison of tho “appa rent ago of 21 years or upwards,” and thus mako tho Badioal managers the Tim judges of a voter’s age.

GRIFFIN, OA., May 19,1811. my20-3m As tliero is probably only ono Demo crat amoug tho election officers of eooh polling place, the effect may be ima gined. The field nogroea selaom know tbeir ages or even their names. They usually take tho lost name of the man who last OWBdd them, and go by that.— Their ages aro guessed at by the mana gers of ejection. I am convinced that boys agod 1C, 17, 18 and 19 yean of aro always allowed to register and vote, pro vided they bold in their bands a ltodical ticket. No one can get near enough to challenge them, and even if such a man could make himself beard while attempt ing to challenge a pereon who oflora a vote bo would bo arrested for disturbing tho peace. QThongh the last election law was un constitutional in all its essential provi sions; though it contemplated the depos ing of vote- under the guidance of bayo nets; thou,.it it was intended that tho Radical managers should do tho voting— yet tho originators were badly worsted at ♦heir own game, and a two-thirds Demo cratic Legislature was tho result Thisin- famoos proceeding has recoiled upon tho heads of its originators, and the tax payers of Georgia anxiously await the day upon which they can disposoof Governor Bullock as summarily as they disposed of his corrupt Legislature, and thus save tho little money that is left and the cred it of the Mtato.
