The Campaign Over.
The great importance of the political
issues before the people, has induced us to
devote the columns of the Courier almost
ent irely to the discussion of these questions,
during the past few weeks. In future the
Agricultural aud Commercial interests of
our section will receive more attention. We
adopt the following sensible remarks from
the Cartersville Express:
HThis week closes out the very short but
spirited campaign for the ratification or re
jection of the new Constitution, and the elec
tion of State and county officers. It will
be some time before we will know hew the
election has gone. We may conjecture and
speculate as to the result, and many sensa
tion dispatches will he sent to and fro, as
has already been the case, but let us keep
our souls in patience and aw;iit the announce
ment of the official vote, as far as the Gov
ernor’s election or the ratification or rejec
tion of the Constitution is concerned. We
have hopes, however vague they may be,
that our side will be victorious j.but human
expectations are often disappointed, if such
was not the ease this would be a glorious
little world we live in. Be that as it may,
we have said and do to carry our point.
The fight has been fought, the victory won,
but who wears the laurels is yet to be seen.
One thing is certain, old Democracy is arous
ed—she has awoken from her slumbers,
and is alive to the issue now before the
people; aud whatever is or may be the re
sult in Georgia in this election, it will but
prove a prelude to what she will do at the
November election if allowed to participate
iu the coming Presidential contest.”

A friend writing from Summerville,

cheering news:
Dear Dwixeix.—Up to six o'clock this

SENATE.
Washington, Aprii 2d.—The Senate,
after half a dozen propositions had been
voted down, adopted the following :
That as many of the managers and coun
sel for the President as desk cd to do so, be
permitted to file arguments or addresses in
the Senate'cnly.
Chase ordered Boutwell to proceed.
Boutwell said that the Chief Magistrate
of the priucipul republic of the world was
on trial, and the object of proceeding was
not punishment for offenses, hut safety of
State. The issues between the President
and the House of Representatives are teeh
nieal and limited, namely: Whether
Johnson violated the Constitution and laws
in removing Stanton and appointing Thom
as. Boutwell sets forth the evils proba
bly following the acknowledgement of the
President’s power to remove officers at
pleasure, arguing that the power of Con
gress maintained sovereignty, and not the
people who vested it in Congress; whereas,
the executive and judicial are denied a'l dis
cretionary or implied power. Congress can
adapt an administration to the changing
condition oi the national lines; whereas,
the President is governed by the principles
which govern the <: udge of a Court. The
President must administer the law as lie
finds it without questioning its legislation or
wisdom. The President can make no in
quiry regarding its constitutionality. A
public oflicer can neither plead nor prove
good motives for nu'lifving a law. If the

Great excitement was created in the up
per part ofthe city this morning, caused by
the appearance of a wild and ferocious pan
ther in the streets. It seems that early in
the morning a negro employed at the house
of Mr. C. Bright, on Conti street, above
Broad, discovered a panther coming i’ruin
under the house. Mr. Bright was imme
diately called, and coming out with his gun
discharged a load of buckshot into the ani
mal’s head, inflicting only a few trifling
wonmls.
Upon being shot , the panther gave a ter
rible roar, and springing over a feueu at least
fifteen feet high, rushed into Mrs. Robert’s
yard, on Government street. lie was here
fired upon several times. After clearing
about a half a dozen fences, the enraged
beast next turned up in Maj. Philau’s yard,
from which he so in emerged. By this
time a large number of me a and boys, to
gether with several dogs, had joined in'the
pursuit. After leaving Maj. Philian's
yard, the panther crossed back to Conti,

by the Radicals—had theirs printed in all

cuter into no inquiry regarding violated
laws or their constitutionality. Boutwell
denies that the President denies being
questioned before the Court.
His pretext fully exposed that ihe object
was to seize the offices of the Government,
and by their influence reconcile the Union
iu the interest of the rebellious States. No
criminal was ever arraigned who offered
more unsatisfactory excuse for his crime.—
He argues that Stanton’s snspension and
Grant’s appointment was an acknowledge
ment of the legality of the Tenure-of-offiee
bill, behind which the President could not
go. A subsequent attempt to remove Stan
ton is unauthorized by the Constitution
and iu violation of the President’s oath of
office. This requires .that a verdict of guil
ty be rendered ou the first article. The
requires that a verdict of guilty berendered
on the first article. The Cabinet's advice
is no excuse, it was the advice of servants
to their master. Boutwell discussed the
Constitution and practice of removals, clon

decessors of Air. Johnson, from General
Washington to Air. Lincoln, who never

fire, and he had two horns on his forehead,
beside several which he had taken in his

three times around his head and beckoned,
like Hamlet’s ghost, for me to follow him.
I arose from my bed and followed—entire

streets, up dark alleys, aud finally brought
me to the graveyard. AU this time he
had never, for a moment, taken his eyes of
fire off of me. Arrived in the center ofthe
graveyard, beside an unburied skeleton be

were fired at him, but without effee".—
Passing through the yard, he entered the
premises of Mr. Shepherd. The panther
here turned at bay, and showed signs of
fight, giving time tor the large and excited
crowd in pursuit to come up, who, upon
getting within range, saluted him with
rattling volley, only eight shots, however,
taking effect.
He immediately fled from the yard to
Dauphin street, and thence to LeBaron’s
lane, where he was brought down by two
pistol shots discharged by Air. J.W. Bright.
Two negroes, armed with axes, then rushed
up, aud, by several well directed blows, dis-
jiatclied the terrible monster.

to be six feet ten inches long.

our statement of his conversation with Air.
Hatchett was substantially correct, except
that all the conversation, including .the
statement that Hatchett ■'■must find a new
home’’ was before he voted.
We do not believe that Mr. Watters de
liberately intended to drive Mr. Hatchett
from his place, and would not have made
the remark had he not been irritated. Alany
of iris old friends refused to vote for him
because they believed it to be their para
mount duty to vote for the regular nomina
ted Democratic ticket.

Mr. Editor—In regard to the commu
nication of Mr. Hatchett, I will state that
I regard Air. Hatchett as a very truthful
man, but hc is mistaken. I never spoke to
him on the subject of voting, after he had
voted—neither did he to me. He does me
injustice in his card.

“The complaint is that the President :
made speeches agaidst this governn
against Congress. Well, who are
grand jurors in this ease? One
parties, the complainants. And who ari
the triers? .The other complainants.—
Now, I-think there b some incongruity in
this.' I think there is some reason for
pausing before ta ing any -further strides
in this direction. The Honorable House
ot Representatives sends its managers here
to take notice of what ? That the House
of Representatives has erected itself into a
school of manners, and, selecting from 'its
ranks those gentlemen ichrmiit deems most
competent by precept and example to teach
dccopim of speech, it desires the judgment
of this body as to whether the President of
