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 New and Strange* Tho farm formerly owned by Daniel Webster, at Franklin, New Hampshire,was to have been sold at auction on the 22d in stant.

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. » , i 1 Respectfully, » 1 ;• .lAMi'H P.

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.

Hayes’official majority Is two thousand nine hundred and ten. The Indians and Peace Commissioners held another council at llcdicino Lodge. The Indians talked peace. In in formal ballot* in the Tennessee Legislature, the Home voted for Brownlow nnd the Senate for Stokes. A joint session M ill be held to-day, when Brownlow will probably lie elected. upon puctchcs of green sward anil silver streams. WIicii the editor of the Tribune crossed in 1859. he was driven by Hank Monk, a famous Jehu, who like the son of Ximslii. 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: 1 will have von discharged before the r*k is mr. Do you know who I am. sir ?” Oh. ye*!’ replied Monk, “perfectly well.
