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.” Administration, S 00 Notice of application for dismission from Guardianship, c 4 00 The Vote Last October.

Every thing moving on smoothly, hope the good cause will do as well in your county. Congresnioual. 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.

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.

Most of the negroes were carried up to their headquarters, by the Leaguers, and furnished with the “Flag ticket, which contained the independent.

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.

Not knowing the stairway, and hearing the groaus of some one in mortal agony, the grating in front was prized up and John Stubbs and Ilcnry, two colored men, entered the cellar, in their endeavor to ren der him some assistance. Procuring a light, they spoke to the unfortunate man, who stated he was badly hurt, aud begged them to extricate him. They endeavored to do so, but found it impossible. They then ascended to tbe first floor, and at the risk of their lives, the following parties en tered the building and went manfully to work : Henry, John~Stubbs and some other col ored men whose names wc did not know: Messrs.

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.
