It would place the ballot in the hands of all, irrespective of social condition, who show sssedthan by giving, as near as the resume of U. S. District Grant and th* Presidency,—The Dem ocratic Head Centres held an informal meeting at Washington, on the evening of the 17th, to consider the claims of the half dozen aspirants to the Presidency. It was agreed that some military man should be selected. Grant's name was up for discus sion ; when a very prominent leader in the party asserted thnt he was authorized by Gen. Grant to say that under no circum stances would he accept a nomination at the hands of the Democracy. Gen. Steed- man was Dually selected. In reference to Grant, it lias been stated, upon pretty high authority, that since the Democracy Avon’t have him, and he can be made to talk nothing but ‘‘horse and bull puppies,” the Republicans of the more moderate and Conservative stamp, have united upon Chief Jnstice Chase. Getting Ready.—We have information from Jonesboro, of a perfectly reliable character, to the effect that, on Saturday last, the Agent of the Freedmen's Bureau at that place distributed a wagon load of United States Uniforms among the able- bodied negroes of that vicinity. Among others who were thus uniformed, Avas the Vice-President of the “League.” We have not heard when the arms Avill be distri buted, but imagine it will not be very long. Some fresh diabolism is brewing, of course. Probably these uniforms are intended for the niggers Avho have been designated as the body-guard for Pope's odoriferous Convention when it meets in Atlanta.— Journal and Messenger. A letter from Jonesboro, some days ago, called our attention to this same matter of uniforms, and made an anxious enquiry as to what it all meant, but not being in favor **at court" avc could not answer.—Atlanta Intelligencer. A plain unvarnished tale will rob both the above paragraphs of all the venom in tended by the authors. The facts arc as follows: The Government of the United States, actuated by a spirit of liberality toward the unfortunates of the South, has forwarded to A'arious sections many articles' of clothing—the supplies left on hand at the close of the Avar—for gratuitous distri bution. Fortunately Georgia Avas not for gotten, and Mr. J. L. II. Waldrop, of Jones boro, Avas furnished with a lot of clothing for the destitute of Henry, Campbell and Clayton counties. There was no uniform about the gifts, and the articles—hats, shoes, pants, jackets, etc.—Avere distributed to the crippled Confederate soldiers, as well as to the crippled loj-al men—to the widows of those' who lost their lives in serving the “lost cause,*’ and the Avidows of Union men. There was no discrimination as to race or color, nor questions asked as to past or present political sentiments! The same generous action is occurring elsewhere ill the State. Cannot our co temporaries get up a few more sensation paragraphs ? ’ Tiic Indian Troubles.—The Peace Com missioners arrived at Cheyenne on Mon day. having accomplished nothing at Fort Laramie. A fewCroAv chiefs wished to make a treaty, but the Commissioners advised them to wait till spring. Avhcn another ef fort will be made to hold a council with all j whetl,er to ado l >fc or re j ect U the Northern tribes at Fort Phil. Kearney, probably about the tirst of June. The Com- mi.--ii.nors stop at North Platte and meet any Sioux or Chcyennnes that may be there. tter ex ractica Attorney^Fitch, l» hfs closing argument yesterday morning. The original motion made by ex-Gov. Brown, in behalf of Foster Blodgett was a challenge to the pell* **j>ropier delictus?' of certain jurors on the regular panel, be- woold disfranchise no particular class, nor render the one subservient to the other. It would extend the rights and privileges of citizenship to the worthy of all classes, without interfering with the vested rights of any. For, when all men are treated im partially, and all have the same rights, it cannot operate to the detriment of any. And a clause setting forth certain neces sary qualifications for office, cannot be ob jectionable to any citizen, white or black, who desires to see the offices of State en trusted to none except those who have suf ficient experience, integrity and ability to fill them creditably. The objection urged against the disfran chisement of a large portion of the Avhite race, and the universal enfranchisement of the blacks, is, that it throAvs the balance of power, if not the entire State Government under the control of an ignorant and non property holding class. But even this ob jection, potent as it may at first sight ap pear, loses much of its force upon careful investigatiou. Our Registration books show a white majority of registered voters.— Having the majority of voters, possessing the greater part of the property and intelli gence, familiar Avith political machinery, with that prestege which ever attaches to the Anglo Saxon race, it would be their oxen fault should the whites allow themselves placed at disadvantage by a comparatively ignorant and poverty stricken minority. No sane man can be made to believe, for in stance, that four millions of blacks just emerged from the bonds of Slavery, can, under any conceivable circumstances, suc ceed in Listening a “despotism” over eight millions of whites Avho own the soil and who control the labor of the country! But Avhen Ave remember that thedisfran- cliisement by the laAv of Congress, of cer tain parties in the South, Avas designed to be only temporary; and that when the Union shall have been restored, all disabil ities Avill be speedily removed, it is difficult to see the reason for this apprehension of “negro supremacy.” That these disabilities will be removed, and that, too, very soon, aa’o have J[every confidence. There is no one hobby of the Republican party better understood than that of Impartial Suffrage and Amnesty. Mr. Greeley and Chief Justice Chase have always stood squarely on that platform, and so have hundreds of other equally influential leaders of the par ty. It is Avell knoAvn that the disfrancliise- ing clause, in wliat is knoAvn as the Sher man Act, is there as the result of a com pro mise with the extreme men of the party, who had been enabled to attain to a certain degree of influence, through a cunning alliance with the Democratic members in tne Denote. This measure was forced upon the party very much after the manner iu Avhich Banks Avas forced into the Speaker’s Chair in 1856. These extreme and impracticable men have had their day. The inad-men of both sections, acting iu opposite directions, JiaA-e for many years been in alliance against the more moderric and sensible men Avho rep resent the masses in all sections. But the day of their glory has ended. And Ave haA'e an abiding conlldence that when Georgia presents her neAV Constitution to Congress for approval, that body will, under the provisions of the Act of March last, so amend it as to place it upon the basis of Impartial Suffrage and Amnesty. It will then he referred to the people of the State for ratification, when they can decide! TiieStateTe.ial.—On the 20th the special of the Commercial says: Chief Justice Chase has made arrangements to go to Rich mond, on Saturday, with Judge Under- Avood, who is now here, so as to be present at the opening of the United States Dis trict Court in that city, on Monday next. The counsel of Jell’. Davis have given no tice that they Avill bo present Avith their client at the opening of the Court, and be ready to proceed with the trial. Progress of the Pedestrian.—The Cincinnati Commercial of the 20tli gives the folloAving paragraph: AVcston, alter his failure to make the hundred miles last Saturday, took a seven hours' sleep atConneaut, Ohio, and at 1.30 o'clock on Sunday morning was again on the tramp, as blithe and fresh as ever, which is pretty good evidence that he could have made the hundred miles the day before, had himself and backers been so minded. At half-past nine he Avas at Ge neva, where he took a breakfast that “would have surfeited an alderman.” At 1 r. m. he reached Painesville. and dined, iraving made forty-tAvo miles, and read his letters and papers while Avalking. At mid night of Sunday the pedestrian reached the Kennanl House in Cleveland, having ac complished seventy miles. The excitement in Cleveland was extraordinary. His rontc liuongh the streets was densely thronged, and sixtr policemen were detailed to keep the wav clear. They closed around Wes ton. leaving him in a hollow square, and by that means kept back the multitude. Tux Rice Crop.—The GeorgetoAvn Times of the 14th, says: “Many planters Ave have conversed Avith arc sadly disappointed at the yield of their crop?—iu niiuiy cases not realizing ludf of The Last Card.—The first care of the “Democratic” press in this State, is to so lacerate the members elect to the State Constitutional Convention by misrepresen tation, slander and abuse as to provoke them to rash and hasty measures. If they can succeed in this, their purpose will haA’e been accomplished. If they fail, and the members of the Convention treat the rav- ings of these madmen as they deserve, the opposition Avill have lost its last card. We have an abiding faith that there Avill be enough statesmanship in that Conven- tion to rise above the petty disputes and partisan rancour of the hour. There will be a few extreme, ill-tempered, short sighted men in that, as there are in all other assemblages; but these are in the minority, and will be overborne by the moderate and sensible men who constitute the majority. It Avill be at least a head and shoulders above the Alabama Convention; and the A’ery consciousness of this fact, and the belief that the Convention Avill do noth ing extreme or rash, is what is giving the “Democratic” press so much trouble. There are a number of gentlemen elected to the Convention from this section of the State, whose social status is in the very front ranks of Southern society, and we are as sured that the same is true of members from other localities. The abuse and insrep- presentation of such men by creatures Avho take this method of venting their spite and mortification for defeat at the polls, is harmless—entirely harmless. dy. having done all he could, was obliged J?"

After argument for two days, the Court held that the motion was well taken as to time, and then instructed the Clerk to read to the jurors so challenged the test oath prescribed by said act, and stated that there was nothing compulsory in the mat ter; that they could take the oath or not as they thought proper; that it was optional with them; but such as knew, for reasons personal to themselves, that they could not take it. would be permitted to retire and consider themselves discharged. On yesterday, U. 8. District Attorney Fitch made a motion to correct the records of the Court as far as the same showed that any juror had been discharged for dis qualification predicated upon the original motion of Governor Brown. The District Attorney maintained, in support of said motion, that no jurors had been dismissed by the Court as yet; that tlie Court could not dismiss them under the original motion without some testimon j’ was presented sus taining the mJagation in said motion; that the mere declining to take voluntarily anj expurgatory oath could not Avork per se a discharge: that the oath could not, under the Supreme Court decision, be enforced, and that the Court could not take judicial cognizance of any individual's participa tion in rebellion or treason; that some evi dence Avas to be produced, Avhetlier the issue Avas tried by triers or by the Court. lion. Henry R. Jackson, for defense, made an able speech, at which we Avere un able to be present, and the District Attor ney, after citing a number of authorities in support of his position, elosed the argu ment, stating his desire to have this ques tion definitely settled, that lie might knoAv Avhetlier lie had a jury or not. lie argued that there Avas a great difference between exensin" a citizen from serving on a jury, and excluding him therefrom. The one Avas a matter of favor, granted by th# Court for good reasons; the other was depriving a man of his rights, for if it Avas a right and privilege possessed by eA’ery citizen to be tried by a jury of his peers, it was equally his right and privilege to sit oil a jury. Judge Erskine stated that if lie had made an error it was his earnest desire to correct it at the earliest possible moment. JJe said that the right to sit on a jury was not a franchise, and in having had the oath read before the jury, lie did it not to require them to take "it, but that they might be thoroughly informed of its nature. The Judge also said that he was perfectly satis fied in his OAvn mind that several of the jurors challenged could not conscientious ly take the oath, and he therefore deemed further evidence on that point unnecessa ry. The Court then OA’crruled the motion of Col. Fitch, and discharged the challenged jurors for the term. Eleven out of the original eighteen were thus discharged, and their places filled from among the talesmen Avho had been summoned. Now that the jury is at last empaneled, the case of Foster Blodgett goes before them for their deliberations. In the course of his remarks yesterday. Judge Erskine alluded to the refusal of the former «grand jury to alloAv cuuntwl for Blodgett to introduce his Avitnesses, and also to a promise alleged tohqye been made in Atlanta by the District Attorney that he Avould allow these Avitnesses to appear before the grand jury. He said that coun sel had no right to insist on the introduc tion of Ills witnesses, and, even if the Dis trict Attorney had made such a promise (which was not proven) the Government could not lie bound by it. The grand jury sits to examine into alleged offenses against the laws, and see if there is sufficient evi dence to make out a case worthy of going to trial. The Government introduces its witnesses, and the grand jury have the power to call for any others whose evidence they may deem importantor who they think can throw any additional light on the case before them.—Savannah Adv. 2f)th. Disastrous Steamboat Accident.— Steamer Onward Burned'.—Four Lives Lost! 700 Bales of Cotton Burned.—We find the j following account of this calamity in the j Selma Times: It is our painful duty to record a disas trous accident, resulting in the destruction of one of our most popular boats on the Alabama river. The Onward, Captain Annspaugh, left this place, for Mobile, on Saturday after noon. At about two o'clock on Sunday after noon, at a point just above Bell's Landing, about 130 miles from Selina, she was dis covered to be on lire in the forward part of the boat. Being under headway at the time, autl having on board seven hundred bale of cotton, the flames spread rapidly, and she Avas in a few moments enveloped in flames. The passengers barely escaped with their lives, losing all their baggage. Captain Annspaugh escaped in his bare feet, losing his coat and hat. A. H. Lindsey, stewart, Avas drowned; Aaron Crawford, pantryman, and July Carter, cook, were burned on the boat. They were colored men; two of them we understand, residents of Selma. A little colored boy, who was employed as a deck- sweeper, overcome with terror, sat upon the fan and was burned to death. Though urged to jump overboard, he Avas either afraid or so "bewildered as not to be able to do so. It was impossible to reach him, and he perished. The entire cargo of seven hundred bales of cotton, together with other miscellane ous freight, was totally destroyed. The boat is a total loss. With that noble devotion so often e> hi- bited by the pilots ot vessels in time of danger, Mr. Win, McCardy, pilot of the Onward, stood to his post, and succeeded in running her ashore, but she rebounded and ran across the river, and swinging round again came to the bank.

There are two hundred commission vo lunteer officers serving in the Freedmen's Bureau. The debt of Southern Railroads has been reduced $600,000. Gen.

Washington, Nov. 22.—Revenue receipts to-day were $353,000. All at the Cabinet but Wells, avIio is im proving. The four ladies killed at Lockland were Harriet, Elizabeth, Sarah and Rebecca Morgan, of NeAV Orleans. Charles Jackson, of Boston, lost liis life endeavoring to save them. The premature publication of Grant's report creates excitement. Grant does not recommend the discontinuance of the Freedmen’s Bureau. 0\’cr nine millions Lave been expended for bounties under law of July last. A continuation of surveys for river and harbor improvements, especially on West ern waters, is recommended. Grant's estimates of amount of appropria tions for Bureau of Refugees and Freedinen and Bureau of Military Justice, are seven ty-seven, instead of a hundred and seventy millions, as heretofore telegraphed. This, however, is exclusive of estimates for the Subsistence department. The Surgeon General’s reeords show two hundred and forty-four thousand white and thirty thousand black soldiers died du ring the war. There are eighty National Cemeteries, in which two hundred and eight thousand are interred. They cost three millions and a quarter of dollars. Gen. Thomas reports all quiet in his de partment, but the people still show disloyal tendencies. Secretary McCulloch will .send to the Senate on Monday a response to the cotton tax inquiry, covering ReA-enue Commis sioner Wells’ report urging its repeal. Early repeal seems to be a foregone con clusion. Congress is very tame. The impression is growing that it will adjourn on Monday to December second. Gen. Grant's report didn't leak out from tlie White House, because the abstract pub lished contains points not alluded to in the synopsis sent to tlie President. The Tri bune and Chronicle alone published it. Front New Orleans. New Orleans, Nov. 22.—Gen. MoAver this evening issued special order number 193, suspending those portions of orders 191 and 192 of 20th and 21st instant, re moving Judiciary and State officers. The Times has a special saying General Grant has directed Gen. Mower to suspend his orders making removals until General Hancock's arrival. We are informed that although their very newly appointed Sheriff has not given the required bond, a military guard Avas sent to the Sheriff's oflice this afternoon ejecting occujiants and installing Avery. Gen. Hancock is expected here to-night- The headquarters band and a detachment of negro troops are on tlie levee as an escort. The City Council last night adopted the Mayor's recommendations that city notes of the denomination of §10s and $20s be stamped to bear 7 3-10 in tcrest from De cember first. A mass meeting of citizens is being held in Lafayette Square, in pursuance to a call, to consider the city finances. A lengthy preamble and resol u ions AA’ere adopted, one of which recommends that/i committee of eleven citizens be appointed to communi cate with General Hancock on his arrival, and explain to him tlie needless and de moralizing burdens imposed upon the peo ple by the circulation of city notes as money, and that he lie asked to relieA’e them from the monstrous evil, either by removing tlie present City Council, or com pelling the municipal authorities to fulfill their engagements. It suggests the en forcement of the conditions upon which the greater portion of the money Avas issued—that it be not reissued when re ceived back into the treasury. North Carolina Election.

From the New York Tribune.] Washington, Thursday, Nov. 14. Hon. Thadeus Stevens. Avho arrived here last evening, was waited on to-day by a large numberofhis friends. Notwithstand ing the tatigue and exertion incident to traveling from his home in Lancaster, lie felt strong enough to come down stairs, remaining through the day until about 4 o’clock, A\ hen he retired fo his room. Mr. Secretary Seward called about 5 o'clock in the evening, but did not obtain an inter view*. So far from being discouraged by the recent elections and the so-called re action over which the Democrats are so jubilant. Mr. Stevens takes a hopeful view of the situation, and feels confident that there is no cause for despondency on the part of the Republicans. A partial defeat in the Northern States was inevitable after the adoption of negro suffrage in the plat form, but the present reverses are but a mere tremor of the nerves, and with a little Avisdom and much courage the Radicals can hold all they have Avon. lie had ex pected to be more badly beaten in Pennsyl vania, Ohio and New York, but after these elections he felt buoyant and confident, and feels so still. The triumph of the party is as assured as anything can well be, and nothing on earth can wrench victory from them if they are only true to their princi ples. No backAvard steps must be taken. He did not claim to lie a prophet, but for thir ty years he had but one set of predictions and convictions, which have not yet been unfulfilled or altered, that there is no hope for this country but in following out its manifest destiny of impartial suffrage, without a taint of slavery in the body pol itic, and nothing can Avin it from freedom. The reconstruction of tlie Southern States on the basis of the Military Bill must be hurried up so that as many of them as pos sible may be represented in the coming Presidential nominating convention. The Republican party w’ould assuredly elect their nominee in the next Presidential contest, and there w*as no need to run after or coax any man into accepting their nom ination. 1'n less than three years they could recover the Northern States, and with the Federal patronage, the loyal white clement of the South Avould always carry the negro population Avith them, and thus give the party a lease of power for the next fifty years. He thought there would be some "attempts to repudiate, which Avould proA*e unsuccessful; and, in reference to the flve-tw’enties, expressed the opinion enunciated in his recent letter. r v KmA D V K 11 T 1 S K »/ F V STOLEN.
