JUDGE IRWIN.
In declining the nomination, on the Re
construction ticket, as a candidate for the
State Constitutional Convention, Judge Ir
win takes occasion to place himself upon the
record as favoring the measure of Recon
struction. Every man has the right to de
cline a candidacy for office; and the rea
sons assigned by Judge Ibwin for his fail-
tiro to accept the nomination, reveals, we
doubt not, his real motives. He conceives
that the duties Imposed by the position
which he now holds in the judiciary, for
bid his participation In tho political dis
cussions of tho day. He docs not say,
however, that. If elected, he will not terve
as a member of the Convention. We pre
sume, therefore, that, inasmuch as the
election is near at hand, thero will be no
change In tho ticket, hut that he will, with
the other nominees, be elected. We appre
hend that thero will be no difficulty In this
matter; for whilst we can readily compre
hend the Judge’s reasons fo not wishing to
participate in the canvass, we have no
doubt but that lie will serve if elected. Let
friends of Convention, therefore, vote the
straight ticket as orlginully made out, and as
published at the head of our local column

In publishing I>r. Hampleton’s response
to eertaln inquiries propounded by a core
respondent.of this journal, we but extend
him the courtesies due any ether gentle
man under similar elrcrnnstoncos. It will
be observed^ however, that he doea not an
swer tho : interrogatories in a plain,
straight-forward manner When asked
whether ho 6 dp ports Andrew Johnson’s
“ policy ” of Reconstruction, he replies by
saying “there Is no Andrew Johnson
policy of Reconstruction! ” That may be,
but our Impression has been that so far
from abandoning his “ policy,” Mr. John-
bon has picked up new courage slnco the
Ohio elections.
We have always understood the Doctor
os a consistent opponent of Nr. Johnsons
whole theory of Jleconstruction. We have
always understood him as belonging to
that school of politics which denied An
drew Johnson’s theory, that tho South
ern States could not, and did not secede.—
On the contrary, Dr. Hamblktox main
tained that Georgia did secede, as, in bis
opinion, she had the right to do. This
made her an independent power; and
when she was subsequently overpowered
and conquered by the Federal Government,
she could claim no rights beyond those
which, under the, laio of nations, the con
queror might a,wdrd to tho vanquished.
If, therefore* * Mr. Johnson’s policy was
an usurpation of power, and his Dictations
to the Mllledgiyjlle Convention unconsti
tutional, It is cloar that tho present State
Government Is. unconstitutional. And, if
unconstitutional nnd bogus, why attempt
to sustain it, in opposition to tho law mak
ing power of the Government?
There are but two recognized political
parties in the United States—the Johnson
party niul the Congress party. One sup
ports tho President’s “Policy” of Recon
struction; the other, supports tho Con
gressional Plan. The first has proven a
failure, nnd tho last may do so; but It is
certainly bad policy for the South to as
sume 31r. Johnson’s quarrel, against two-
thirds of Congress, and. through this in
strumentality, bring upon ourselves still
greater disabilities. Nor will Southern
men wbo have decided to vote for a State
Constitutional Convention, be deterred
from doing so, by such party catcli words
as “Radical*’ and “negroequality.” We do
not fear “negro equality.” Such a thing is
an absurdity. Wo are willing that every
man, who can read and write, and who is
sufficiently Men tilled with the State, should
vote, it matters not whether he be blue,
black, or brown. Our oplulonson this sub
ject have never changed; and had the Plan
of Impartial suffrage uud Amnesty been act
cd upon eighteen months ago, wo would
to-day have been a united and prosperous
people, instead of being in our present de
plorable condition.
There is another point in this controver
sy which cannot have escaped the notice
of the intelligent reader. The position of
Dr. IIamulktox and bis associates on the
Democratic ticket, is a most singular one.
They are understood to be opjtosed to a
Shite Constitutional Convention, and yet
ire candidates for membership in that Con
dition ! Some of them have denounced
he acts of the President in setting lip the
xisting State State Governments as un-
ouslitutionu; and yetfihey now recognise
Ills acts as constitutional, inasmuch as they
recognize his State Government as Consti
tutional.
Personally, we entertain the kindliest
feelings toward all these gentlemen, and
regret the necessity for opposing their
laims to preferment. And whilst the
Sherman Rill is not in all particulars what
could wish, it nevertheless comprises
the terms imposed by those only who
have, under the law of nations, the right to
prescribe the nunner of settlement. We
are, therefore, in favor of calliug a Conven
tion of tlic State to consider the terms
offered.
Letter from Dr. Hambleton*
Disttict No. 3, October 24,18(17.
Editors Opinion: Your correspondent, or
more properly speaking, a communication
in your issue of the 23d instant, signed
Silas," nffects to want a “plain answer” to
certain querries. Inasmuch as “Silos” ad
dresses himself to me, I shall alone speak
for myself.
The first question "Silas" wishes to
know, am I In favor of the “Andrew John
son policy of Jleconstruction.” I answer
that there Is no “Andrew Johnson policy
of Reconstruction.” Andrew Johnson and
tho Northern people always denied that
the Southern States were out of tho Union,
nnd ns a logical sequence, when the Con
federate Government was destroyed, and
^bo laws qfthe United States acknowledged
and obeyed throughout the Southern
states, that Restoration, and not any
policy of “Jleconstructionwas accom
plished. Tho word "Reconstruction," there
fore, is a misnomer, yea, tho veriest Radi
cal clap-trap. Tho Government has been
Billy Restored-, in a legal sense, and tho
present disturbances and troubles arc only
the effort of tho Radical party to )>er|>ctu-
ate strife nnd its own power.
I cannot, In the ftiturc. answer anony
mous communications.
In conclusion, I trust that “Silas" will
remember that he who farors the accept
ance ofthe Sherman ^Military Act Is in fa
vor of negro suffrage and negro equality,
they hre one and Inseperable. » ,

Ellijay, Ga., October 15tb, 1807.
To the voter* of the 35th Senatorial District
of Georgia:
I have been unofficially informed that
my name Is placed before yon oh a candi
date for a seat In the Convention soon to be
held In this State. Whilst I am in favor of
bolding the Convention, and ardently de
sire a restoration of tho Southern States to
their placet In the Union, under the Con
stitution nnd government of the United
8tatos, as early as practicable, yet the cir
cumstances by which I am surrounded,
compel me most respectfully to decline tho
honor proposed to be conferred upon me.
There arc gentlemen in the District who
desire position, and whose services would
be as valuable as my own, If not more so.
I am now absent from the District In the
discharge of my official duties, and cannot
return until some time after the election.
Indeed, there is a probability of my being
so engaged in tho duties of my position,
that I could not attend tho Convention
when it meets. Besides all this, and with
sincere deference for the opinions of those
who differ with me on this subject, 1 do not
believe that a Judge of Superior Courts
should actively engage In the strifes and
disputations of political affair*. In my
humble judgment, such a lino of action de
tracts from the dignity of the office, im
pairs the usefulness of the Incumbent ns a
Judicial officer, and tends to weaken the
confidence of the people In. Courts ami
Judges. For these reasons I must respect
fully ask to be excused from being a candi
date, or serving In tho Convention, If I
could be elected. Thankful for this and nil
other manifestations of friendship and Con
fidence* I am, with great respect,
Your obedient servant,
David Irwin.

driveth furiously. An uimcryphul story
of this ride is current all over the groat
plains and among the mountains. The
editor had a lecture engagement In Placer-
vllle, and as the horses climl>ed slowly up
the eastern side he feared he would he too
late. Twice lie urged the driver forward,
hut the reticent 31onk pah) not the sllglit-
esvheed. Boon they reached the summit
and began to descend. Then cracked the
long-idle whin, and the horses at full run
tore along beside ‘precipice* where a single
stone or mis-step might send them rolling
over, in which case the passenger was sure
that, on reaching the bottom, coach, horses
and men would not be worth twenty-five
cents a bushel! Tossed about In that
iMitinding vehicle, he assured the driver
that such haste was unnecessary; that half
an hour sooner or later Mould make no
material difference.
“Keepyour seat,Mr. Greeley,” replied
the impurtuble Monk, with a fresh crack
of the whip; “keep your seat: I'll get you
to PlacervBle In time!”
Through that overruling Providence
which cares for the careless, the journey
was accomplished In safety. But the fan
ciful legend so pleased certain Californians
that they presented Monk with a handsome
gold watch, bearing the inscription: “Keep
your seat, Mr. Greeley—PH get you to
Placervllleln lime.”
One night afterwards, when Monk’s
coach was late—for these stages run by
time-table—fo* drove hard, to the terror of
a self-important judicial personage. Mho
vainly expostulated again and again, and
at lust, with |K>inpous gravity, thundered:

her duty, dignity and national honor, suf
