BT W. L. SCBU008 BHD J. B. DPMBLB. SATURDAY MORNING;: OCTOBER 26. Follow xo Fonnuiu—let Ihevoteno/ Fulton, Cobb and Clayton oountlei remem ber that It waa tte obatlnaey and love or power on tbo port of the Democratic leaders, twelve montbi affo, that defeated tbeCon- atitutlonal amendment*, and fa*tenod upon ua Military Government, and unlveraal negro luffi-age and white dtaftonchUement The tame leaders are now trying to defeat Reconstruction; and If tboy succeed, we may expect Reconstruction on the basis of a Test Ostb suffrage. They defeated tlio first measure because It disabled them from holding office—not because it prevented thcnw'rem voting at popular elections.— Wo have already followed tlds party to ruin. Let us now make haste to retrace our steps. .. _ Casein Admission.—The New York World admits that "at lcaat four years must elapso before the Reconstruction Acts can be repealed, eeen though the Democrat! should wilt Mery election clurfny that period, If tho Republican party uses its power to the utmost.” Commenting on this admission of the leading Democratic organ in America, the New York Times says: “Four years will surely suffice for tho solution of the recoil' structlon problem. Even supposing that the present measure may not operato ef fectually In all Its details, four years will constitute a period ample for modification, amendment, and if need be the absolute enforcement of any probable conditions which Congress may dictate. And tho four years’ term, remember, Is predicated on the assumption that every election from now till tho end will result Ihvorably to the Democrats. Tho hypothesis could not possibly be more inimical to the Republi cans. But It leaves them four years for the execution of their policy. More than that we arc not disposed to desire, unless they meanwhile prove themselves equal to the emergency.” _____ Not to bis Bullied.—Tho Intelligencer calls upon Dr. N. L. AxaiKii and Dr. II. V. M. Millkii to decline the Reconstruction nomination as candidates for the Conven tion, and to “come out from iitnong the Radicals.” These gentlemen were nominated by the friends of Reconstruction by reason of their peculiar fitness for the position. They have expressed themselves willing to sen- in the capacity Indicated; and they arc not the men to be bullied off the ticket by opponent. They will be elected, and will make ablo and efficient members of tho Convention. Tho slur at Dr. Milleb'i Whig record, when ho stood manfully against tho run mad Democracy of 1830, will make hint votes In this community. Our people have had quite enough of Dem ocracy and Secession. They have run that schedule too long already. They now mean to reverse the engine. Muxder at Cedar Keys.—Burrell II. Lcekc, who was a practicing lawyer at Cassvlllc, Gn, for several years previous to tho war, and who has been residing at Ce dar Keys, Fla. since, was killed at tho lat ter place on the lutli Inst, lie became In volved in a difficulty .with Dr. Ilndge. a practicing physician there, with whom lie had been previously friendly, and ill an al tercation which took, place Dr. llodge kicked him in tho stomach, from which lie died in three hours. Dr. Hudgu being the only physician in tho vicinity, attended him after tho injury and did nil in 1)1* jiower t9 relieve hint, But could not save him. lie wns.witb him when lie died. Mr. I.ccke leaves a largo family, I'ixe-Fabm .i on •thLE.'—■(general W. T. Wofford,'of Cartcrsvllle.-tn’thls' State, of fers for sale one of the linen farms In Northern Georgia. Its location Is unsur passed for heallhfulncss; and Is situated In one of the best districts In the State, Northern Georgia, unlike the Gulf coast country,' is not dependent upon negro labor for its crops. Tiie climate is mild and tho land is generally good. Parties who desire a comfortable home in this most desirable portion of the Southern country, would do well to confer with General Wof ford, before purchasing elsewhere. Military History or Gen. Grant.— Gen. Badeau, Military Secretary to Gen. Grant, has completed the first volume of his work, the “ Military History of U. S. Grant,” and It Is now In tho press of the Applctons. and will soon be published. It extends from the beginning of tlie war down to and Including the Chattanooga cnmpalgn, at the close of November, 1803. THE WEEKLY OHHIOM, .SSjaSS: Reconstruction Journal in Georgia* »iV quotlngthe third section of tho reconitrue tlon law, says: We are convinced.’from this reading, that any attempt to vote for delegates. without voting for or against a Convention, will Ik futile and cause the vote so cost to be con* signed to the waste-basket as a blank bal lot. Thus persuaded, we counsel our peo ple not to bo led into the folly of voting or delegates, however worthy, unless they can agree to vote at the same time for or ngainst n Convention As tho Conserva tives have determined not to vote “for a Convention,” it is presumable that thoy would. In such nu alternative, vote against it, while making u choice of delegates, ltut wc strenuously advise them, slnco they cannot “hedge” or split the ticket, to ab stain trom any ami every participation in tho objuctionablo business. If we are correctly advised, the Demo crats In this district have decided to vote for Delegates, leaving off the material part of the ballot—that which Is to decide whether there will -.o a Convention. This will be practically carrying out the views of the Constitutionalist*inasmuch as such ballots will not be considered. Divided Among Themselves.—Our Anti-Reconstruction friends In this Sena torial District seem hopelessly divided among themselves. Some favor voting for delegates, leaving the “Convention ” i^sue to take caro of itself. Others favor voting “Agaiusta Convention,” whilst others still, favor non-attendance at the election in the hope of defeating the Convention scheme under that clause in the law which requires a ballot of two-thirds of the registered voters. The Marietta Journal (antl-Reconstruc- tlon) says: Below, under the inis-nomer of “antl- Convcntion” will bo found a ticket nomi nated in Atlanta, for the Convention. We regret the nomination, regarding it inju dicious. if it is tho purpose of its friends to defeat a Convention, and in this regret we are certaiu that the gentlemen nomina ted on the ticket in this county, agree with us. It is absurd to deny the legality or constitutionality of u Convention, or to pretend to oppose a Convention aud yet to run a ticket for it. I'll to, 0 ^ntonBut a short time since, \ that you asked the question, u he’ yi- the difficulty existing between l*1ii chairman and tho Executive Commit tee” aud his tatellttes hud been healed? I suppose from vimt I have heard on the streets among the “knowing ones” that perhaps a little M ol} has been thrown upon the troubled waters. In the Convention which put In nomination the Conservative ticket there was some disaffection; the course of tho “Chairman of the Executive Committee,” in publishidg his call had in the estimation of some, taken rather high grounds- as you will remember he wanted men selected who were opposed to n Con vention and against tho principles of the Kadi cal party—others again were In favor of running tnen for a convention. This as matter of course brought down upon the head of the Chairman tho charge of doing great injury to the cause for which they were battling, aud hope that the gentle man would repudiate his calf—rub out and begin again. This he could not, consistent with his heretofore mode of doing business on Ills “own hook.” because, said he, it would “stultify mi*;” consequently be view ed ns a fool. Hut, some how tho mnthw passed into other hands, and a sort of re- concilllation affected; in the meantime the Chairman hop'd upon a limb, He peep’d at them, anti they peep'd at him. The call wus made—but all in vain, For we never heard of John again I" But, really to be serious—1 am under the impression that I might memtion another who seems desirous to lead on to tho victo ry thone gentlemen who have been put in the field for the Conventional race, whose pledges for support have been long and strongly made, but, so far I have not been able to see it in that light, And really. Messrs. Editors. I have known men in my life who were always willing to be looked up to, and direct the storm, if they were not involved in the responsibility and eould always Ikj on the safe side. Such men nre always unreliable—anil had advi sers. If you will show me a man with a hold and n fearless spirit, I will show you a man of noble traits of character, until*- ingenergy, ready for every emergency that presents itself in politic* or religion. ‘ Fielding.

A Boston correspondent of the New York Kxrcsss gives some additional statements of the affair, which he says arc in every body's mouth, but which may possibly be erroneous In detail, though correct proba bly In the main. This gossip writes In substance ns follows: Baron Holstein was written to by Mr. Sumner, and, report says, insinuated some thing not honorable to the wife, which was promptly repelled in tho Baron's reply.— Air. Sumner, ns chairman of our commit tee of Foreign Affairs, then wrote to the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs, the distinguished Bismarck, that if he (B.) would recall the Baron, he (8.) would be obliged. The adroit Bismarck yielded to the potential |K>*itiou of the American chairman of Foreign Affairs, and the Baron was recalled to Berlin. Mrs. Sumner next became acquainted with the alleged facts of the correspondence, and indignantly packed up and went to Europe. Mr. Sum ner was married about two years ago.

The Ohio elections havo nothing to do with Reconstruction In tho South. C5F* The Baltimore Hun states that the election held in that city on the 23d in stant—the llrsfc under tho new eonstltytlon of the State—was, in It* orderly conduct, ns well as results, in accordance with pre vious anticipations. K5* A Nashville dispatch says the Legis lature will not favorably upon the recom mendation of Governor Brownlow for the reimbursement of loyal citizens for losses sustained during the war. QT One would suppose from reading tho Inltlligtnur of yesterday morning that “James L. Dnnnlng" Is about the only man of character on the Reconstruction Ticket. Brownlow Elected to the United States senate.—On the 23d, the Ton nesseo Legislature elected Governor Brownlow to succeed Senator Patterson in the United States Senate, on the 4th of March, 18C0, for the term of six years. The vote stood: For W, G. Brownlow, 03; for W. B. Stokes, 39; for Walker (Conservative), 2. Gov ernor Brownlow's vote is classltied as fol lows : SENATORS.

They aro at Wash ington examining into contracts for fur nishing army and navy projectiles of all calibres. lisp; Meditated anything of the kind or would attempt to carry it into effect. While out In the woods on this occasion, he took his smaller brother to a bush not over six feet high, and bonding it down, told his sister to hold it, while lie tied one of the strings mentioned around Ills brother's neck and fastened the other end to the top of the bush, and then let it go. The bush, howev er, had not sufficient spring to strangle the little fellow,and only clinked him ton slight extent. The elder brother then untied him and took him to a stump which had a pro jecting limb, aud tried hard to hang him to it; but tho conl| after passing around his neck, was not long enough to tic around the limb, and lie abandoned the attempt. Having tailed to hang his brother, th hoy tin n seems to lmvc determined to ban, himself, and climbing up a suppling, nbou fifteen feet high and about the thlcKiiessc a man's arm ai the ground, he made a slip* noose with the cord, which lie placed around his neck, and tying the other end to the top of the suppling no jumped from the bush, bending it down with his weight, and being strangled almost instantly by the noose tightening on his neck. The brother and sister ran to the house and gave the alarm, but when assistance arrived the boy was quite dead. His knees were on the ground and tho cord stretched tight by the spring of the suppling. The small string used had made the work of death sudden and sure. The whole affair is a very singular one, considering the youtlfof the victim. Tho act was clearly premeditated, and the prob able effect of the means understood.— Memphis Host, 19(4. An Ex-Rebel View of Cofi'iiiuiead Pkoi'Hkltks.—Those who perplex reulon at the Houth arc tho objects of Democratic pity; not the cx-rehels who truly acqui esce. The real opinion of tho Democratic party, which is now held by many of its old allies in the Southern States, has been heard from Governor Orr nnd others, but there Is a very neat statement of it made by Mr. Barringer. It is in the follow ing words which may be meditated at this time with peculiar profit: “Tho treacher ous utterances of the Copperhead press which has ever fed and attended on the follies of the Houth, and which has ever led us to death and destruction, are again g athered up. People forget 1801. when at le first shock of arms tho “mudsills” were to rise; 1802. when M'Clellan in his rage and despair was to seize the Government; 1883, when the Northwest wns to resist: 1804, when tho Peace Democracy was to triumph; 1865, when Mr. Johnson would certainly crush Radicalism; and finally I860, when the Philadelphia Convention was to sweep tho country.

Mr. Davis' Trial.—The Washington corre*|»oi»(lent of the Baltimore Hun, in u letter duted the 23d. says: Chief Justice Chase has written a letter to Judge Underwood, of Virginia, stating that he would lie present in Riehmolid at the opening of the United State* < Vairt in November. He refer* to the fact that the bail IaoikI of Mr. Jefferson Davis calls for his (l)avis') presence at the court on the fourth Monday of November, but tells Judge Underwood to inibrm Mr. Davis’ counsel that he (Chief Justice Chase) will be ready to proceed with Mr. Davis* trial soon as court opens, If they desire it.— He says that lie will hear and attend to anything bearing upon Mr. Davis' case then, but that he will not remain in Rich mond niter the Supreme Court of the Ulil ted States assemble* in Dceeniher. TUI* letter was to-day handed by Judge Under wood to Mr. J. Baiahdph Tucker, one of Mr. Davis* counsel. The latter took n copy of it. but would give no reply until after he shall have consulted the counsel associ ated with him. As intimated above. Mr. Havin' bond does not expire until the fourth Monday in November, and the court nicer* sooner.— Even should Mr. DavD waive Ills rights under the bond, and agree to go to trial sooner* It is hardly possible that Judge Chase can preside through the whole trial if he is determined upon being present at the U. S. Supreme Court in December, us it is not probable that the trial could be •hided by that time. DIED, On tliuSOtti Inst., nt hi* resilience In For*ytt>, Mul. John T.
