JUDGE IRWIN.
In declining the nomination, on the Re
construction ticket, as a candidate for the
Mate 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 Irwin for his fail
ure 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 the political dis
cussions of the day. He docs not say,
however, that, if elected, he will not serve
i, a member of the Convention. We pre
sume, therefore, that, inasmuch as the
election is near at hand, there will be no
change in the ticket, but that he will, with
the other nominees, be elected. We appre
hend that there 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, wc have no
doubt but that he will serve if elected. Let
friends of Convention, therefore, vote the
straight ticket as originally made out, and as
publi.-hed at the head of our local column
c.rn Grant to Writr a Letter.—A
Washington telegram, of the 19th, says:
Th«- movement made throughout the coun-
irv to nominate General Grant for the
Presidency, has developed itself in Wash
ington, in the shape of a strong pressure
made upon him for a letter clearly defining
hi* views on the pending important na
tional questions. Such of his friends as
are urging the writing and publication of
a letter, are confident that one will be
forthcoming before the November election.
I»f.aths.—Mr. It. T. Starr, an old and re
spected citizen of Mobile, Alabama, died
at his residence near that city, on the 19th
instant.
,1. Mason Thomas, son of Major General
Thomas. died in San Francisco. California,

Hon. Tiios. G. Smith. Judge of the Law

on the 18th instant.
Attempted Assassination.—An a*s:is-
^in shot through the window at lion. B. I.
Porter, of Greenville. Ala., whilst he was
engaged at his desk. The bullet went
through one of his office windows not
ini—ing his head more than six inches. No

identity of the scoundrel.

Ki.li.iav, Ga„ October lath. 1867.
7* . the rottrs of the 35th Senatorial District
..f Georgia:
I have been unofficially informed that
my name is placed before you as a candi
date for a seat in the Convention soon to be
held in this State. Whilst 1 am in favor of
holding the Convention, ami ardently de
sire a restoration of the Southern States to
their places in the Union, under the Con-
-titution and government of the United
Mates, as early as practicable, yet the eir-
. instances by which I am surrounded,
. ompel me most respectfully to decline the
honor proposed to l»e conferred upon me.
There arc gentlemen in the District who
desire position, and whose services would
U- 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
engaged in the duties of my position,
that I could not attend the Convention
w hen it meet*. Besides all this, and with
sincere deference for the opinions of those
w ho 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 affairs. In my
humble judgment, such a line of action de
tract* from the dignity of the office, im
pair* the usefulness of the incumbent as a
Judicial officer, and tends to weaken the
confidence of the people in Cqurts and
Judges. For these reasons I must respect-
Ttillv ask to be excused from being a candi
date. or serving in the Convention, if I
could be «lcete«r Thankful for this and all
other manifestations of friendship and con
fidence. 1 am. with great respect.
Your obedient servant.
David Irwin.
In publishing Dr. Hamblrtor's response
to Certain inquiries propounded by a cor
respondent of this journal, we but extend
him the courtesies due any other gentle
man under similar circumstances. It will
be observed, however, that he does not an
swer the interrogatories in a plain,
straight-forward manner When asked
whether he supports 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
son has picked up new courage since the
Ohio elections.
Wc have always understood the Doctor
as a consistent opponent of Mr. Johnsons
whole theory of Reconstruction. We have
always understood him as belonging to
that school of politics which denied An
drew Johnson's theory, that tlic South
ern States could not, and did not secede.—
On the contrary, Dr. Hambleton 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 law of nations, the con
queror might award to the vanquished.
If, therefore, Mr. Johnson's policy was
an usurpation of power, and his Dictations
to the Milledgeville Convention unconsti
tutional, it is clear that the present State
Government is unconstitutional. And, if
unconstitutional and bogus, why attempt
to sustain it, in opposition to the law mak
ing power of the Government?
There are but two recognized political
parties in the United States—the Johnson
party and the Congress party. One sup
ports ^hc President's “Policy” of Recon
struction; the other, supports the Con
gressional Plan. The first has proven a
failure, and the last may do so; but it is
certainly bad policy for the South to as
sume Mr. Johnson's quarrel, against two-
thirds of Congress, and. through this in
strumentality, bring upon ourselves still
greater disabilities. Nor will Southern
men who have decided to vote for a State
Constitutional Convention, be deterred
from doing so, by such party catcli words
as “Radical” and “negro equality.” We do
not fear “negro equality.” Such a tiling is
an absurdity. We are willing that every
man, who can read and write, and who is
sufficiently identified with the State, should
vote, it matters not whether he be blue,
black, or brown. Our opinions on this sub
ject have never changed; and had the Plan
of Impartial suffrage and Amnesty been act
ed upon eighteen months ago, we 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. IIambleton and his associates on the
Democratic ticket, is a most singular one.
They are understood to be opposed to a
State Constitutional Convention, and yet
are candidates for membership in that Con
vention 1 Some of them have denounced
the acts of the President in setting up the
existing State State Governments as un-
constitutiona; and yet they now recognize
his 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 then-
claims to preferment. And whilst the
Sherman Bill is not in all particulars what
wc could wish, it nevertheless comprises
the terms imposed by those only who
hare, under the law of nations, the right to
prescribe the nauner of settlement. We
are. therefore, in favor of calling a Conyen-
tion of the State to consider the terms
offered.
him and revealed the strange fact, that, if
the cholera-stricken negroes would pro
cure one handful of salt and the other fell
of figs, and sit beneath a sycamore tree,
and swallow the contents or both bands,
taking first a mouthful of salt and then a
bite of figs, that the cure that would ensue
would be sufficiently miraculous to show a
direct Providential interference in their
behalf. Accordingly 12 negroes threw
away their “doctor stuff,” ana, supplying
themselves with figs and salt, and seating
themselves under the charmed sycamore,
proceeded to dose themselves as directed.
The reeult ‘was’ rather miraculous, for
eleven of them never left the spot! The
dose killed them!
BY TELEGRAPH.
The Case or Mr. Stanton.—Events are
rapidlv shaping themselves into very clear
indications that Mr. Johnson is seriously
meditating a treasonable plot to resist the
law s by every means which be can control.
The programme for the removal of Mr.
Manton from the War Office has been
oi»enlv avowed. Mr. Johnson announces
hi* purpose to appoint a successor to the
present Secretary of War, without regard
to the plain provisions of the Civil Tenure-
nf-office Bill, sending his nomination to the
Senate without any reason for his action,
and preferring no charges against Secreta
ry Stanton.—PKUtsdelphia Bulletin.
If the President docs not do anything
worse than remove Stanton and ap|>oint a
successor for him. the country will be for
tunate. The Tenure-of-olfice Bill was a
bungling and uncalled for piece of legisla
tion. It was simplv to protect partisan
office holders, and while in design it was
objectionable, in construction itwasa bun-
? lc and altogether a mistake.— Cincinnati

Letter from Dr. Hambleton.
Disttict No. 3, October 24,1867.
Editors Opinion: Your correspondent, or
more properly sneaking, a communication
in your Issue of 23d infant, signed
“Alias,” affects to w ,nt - v *»■» answer” to
certain querries. In-.- :• 'ad
dresses himself to in •
for myself.
The first quest
know, am I in favor of : -
sox policy of Recons!,
that there is jio “Andrew policy
of Reconstruction.” Andrew do ;.-otiand
the Northern |**ople always denied that
the Southern States were out of the Union,
and as a logical sequence, when the Con
federate Government was destroyed, and
the laws of the United Stales acknowledged
and obeyed throughout the Southern
States, that Restoration, and not any
policy of “Reconstruction,was accom
plished. The word *•Reconstruction.” there
fore. is a misnomer, yea. the veriest Radi
cal clap-trap. The Government has been
fully Restored, in a legal sense, and the
present disturbances and troubles are only
the effort of the Radical party to perpetu
ate strife and its own power.
I cannot, in the future, answer anony
mous communications.
In conclusion. I trust that “A’llaa” will
remember that he who favors the accept
ance of the Sherman Military Act is in fa
vor of negro suffrage and negro equality.
They are one and inseperable.
Respectfully,
Jambs P. Hambleton.
Eleven Negro fa Doer Themselves and
Die.—The Cairo Democrat tells this:
A Mississippi planter gave employment
during the past season, to thirty or forty
negroes. The cholera broke out among
them, and a physician was called, whose
treatment promised quick success. An
old negro among the number, however,
was not satisfied with the progress of af
fairs, and with a great show of religious
zeal and reverential dire, made it known
to his fellows that God had appeared to

Virginia Election.
Richmond, Oct. 23.—The second day’s
election passed off without any distur
bance. Both Radicals and Conservatives
were active in bringing voters to the polls.
After the announcement of the result of
the first day, the Conservatives were much
incouraged and are still confident of victo
ry. Mauy negroes had forgotten the names
given when registered and many more had
left the city since registering. The polls
closed to-night with a white majority of
521. It is estimated that there is the
samenumberof Halieal whites as Conser
vative blacks in the city. Tue vote upon
the question of calling a Convention can
not yet be ascertained, but nine-tenths of
the whites voted against it. At the so
licitation of the Radicals, Gen. Schofield
has ordered the polls to lie opened in three
Wa*ds again to-morrow. Much dissatis
faction exists among the Conservatives in
consequence.
The military was on duty their services

four whites, and two colored. The party
seem confident of carrying the Convention
question. The Conservatives or Anti-
Conventionist.*. seem to favor the policy of
neither voting lor or against Convention,
but to vote only for delegates. Several
papers advocate this line of action, while
others strongty urge the people to keep
away from the polls and take no part in
