exposure to w hich we refer, coming as it does
from the lips ol a citizen of his own Stale, whose
eoice is as potent in it among the masses as his
own has ever been.
That Mosnnsenial Vat*.
No eulogy that has been, or that can be, pro
nounced by the "Opt ft ion" upon those members
ol our City Council who are reconled as having
given the .ijffrwwftre vote they did on the Lincoln
Monument proposition; no excuse that can be
made for their vote; no wealth they may pos
kcs* ; no social nor public position they may till
cau justify the act in the miuds of this indignant
community. We care not I rent whence they
came, nor whither they may go, that rote will
stick to them, as did the “start of Xistua" to him
so cuduriugly, that memory of it will be lasting
ns being itseil shall l>c unto them. Future histo
rians, when they refer to the degeneracy ol Ibis
day and lime in" llie South, will find uo more
forcible incideut wherewith to illustrate it, than
the vote ol those six members of our City Coun
cil on the proposition to erect a “Lincoln Monu
ment" in Atlanta, in view, and mayhap it may be,
over the mouldering lames of "Confederate
Dead." At flic close of one of the civil wars iu
which ancient Rome was engaged, it was sug
gested tothe^eiguing Emperor that a monument
should be erected to the memory of oue of the
victorious geuerals’wbo had fallen in the fierce
contest. Erect monuments, was bis reply, to
your heroes who have fallen in battle against
your foreign Iocs, but none to perpetuate the
memory of strifes atnnug yourselves. Let them
be buried, it possible, in oblivion! We com
mend the sentiment ol the great Roman to the
consideration ol those, who, iu this city, from
whatever motive, mercenary, or otherwise, would
rear upon this.site so recently "Phienix like, risen
from its ashes,” a monument to Mr. Lincoln,
trusting that they will profit in its consideration.
Gwinnett Cosstr meeting.
We invite public attention to the proceedings
of a “Conservative Meeting" recently held in
the county ot Gwinnett which appear in another
column ol this day’s issue of the Intelligen-
i kk. We approve entirely the action of flint
meeting, and earnestly- advise that the example
thus set by the Gwinnett County Conservatives,
be responded to, without delay, by the "Conserva
tives” in every county in the State. There
must be organization. Without it, there cannot
be even partial success. In the language of our
Augusta cotemporary, the Chronicle d Sentinel:
“Th^jc who oppose a Convention should co-nn-
favor it, in bringing out the best men in their re
spective districts. It will require the united ac
tion and untiring efforts of all the good men of
the country to defeat the Radicals.
“Let there be harmony and concert of action
between the Conservative elements of the State.
Every good man should be willing to devote a
little time to the perfecting of an organization in
their respective neighborhoods for the detest of
the Radicals. We beg our friends throughout
the Stab; to be up and doing. The enemy are
thoroughly organized, are active and aggressive.
We cannot hope to defeat them unless all the
good men will take an interest in organizing
against them. Don’t wait for your neighbor to
begin the good work. Don’t think that some
oue else ought to take the initiative. It is your
duty to do it. II you luil it may induce your
neighbor to be lukewarm. Let every mau sec
ills neighbor and talk the matter over Ireely with
him. Survey the whole field, and then bring
out your stzongest and best men.
“Having done this, don’t think you have per
formed your whole duty. Having brought out
proper candidates, it then becomes your duly to
see to it that they are elected. If every good
white man in the State would make proper ef
forts, we might send true Conservative men to
the Convention. There is notarespetable white-
man in the State who cannot* influence and con
trol one negro vote. Let each one determine to
do this, and the State is safe, for a while, at
least.
- “ The first thing to do, however, is to hold at
ouce preliminary meetings in the different coun
ties and agree upon a plan for action. Indivi
dual efforts, however strong and active they may
be, cannot accomplish so much as organized ac
tion. We must have this at once. Will our
friends in the different counties take this matter
in hand, without further persuasion or delay ? ’’
All Marta,
Gknkhai. Bukhman's recent words to the lu-
diaus were as blunt as theirs, and •* shrewd e*
good, lie could not help displeeeltig the evil
rniuded Turkey-loot; for the savage Sioux are
noi eaay converts. The General emphasized
the fact that the Great Father or Grandfather
desired hi* soldiers to ho kind and liberal to the
Indians, lie also made them understand—
though the tact itseil cannot bo very nwl'ul to
the Indiau udud—that the soldiers of the Culled
gUle* can come to the Flatus in number* thick
aa a bent of hulfaloea; and that the savages,
Utorrlorc, ought to lie too millions to butt their
heads against the locomotive. l’awneo-KIHor's

have some very good ones also."

of that State were “ afraid to enunciate clearly

policy but bostility to the Executiveand that
“it is a very narrow plattorm to stand upon, hut

Which?—A question agitating New \ork
just now is: ” Which is the woist enemy of so
ciety, the family that keeps a parrot, or the one
whose eldest son is learning to play the bugle?"
Female Suffrage.—It is reported that in n
recent conversation with Lucy Stone, Mr. Chase
said : "Bo free to say for me that 1 think there
will be uo end U> the good that will come by
woman's suffrage, on llie elected, on elections,
on GovernineuU, anil on woman herself. 1 have
said this in public aud private for many years.—
1 sin glad that an effort is making in Kansas to
accomplish it, and 1 shall rejoice when the elec

now to men. 1 think, too, that this will be at no
distant day."
No JfDUK YET IN THE OCMULGKK CIRCUIT.—
The busiuess of Baldwin court was hut partially
disposed of. No court in Putnam last week,
nor can tve hear of the likely being any in the

rible crime. Harris was arrested.
Caught.—Mr. Seward is a man ol strauge
contradictions. Some years ago, he grew furi
ous because Earl Russel drew a parallel between
the United States and Turkey. A few months

1 see some of tho papers nro endeavouring to
induce llu- bellel that I ho Convention can repudi
ate private debts.
Tho Editor so committed proves himself unlit
lor the vocation ho lias assumed. If ho does
uot know the Convention is iu Unit particular
powerless as the Legislature, he wants the infor
mation necessary for instruction; il he does
know it, nud is trying to make the ignorant be
lieve a lie, he wants the honesty necessary to a
sale counsellor.
The Constitution of the United Stales, Article
1, See. 10, first clause, says.
" No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance,
or conledcration; grant letters ot marque and
reprisal; coin money : emit bills ot credit; make
anything hut gold aud silver coin a tender in
payment ol debts; pass any hill of attainder ;
exj>ott facto law; or i.aw imi-aihino the obli-
ration of contracts; or grant any title ot
nobility."
This clause of the Constitution you might keep
slandiug Witli tho caption :
To enlighten tiie ignorant and correct
the vicious. Scalpel,
Name of the Deity.
It is singular, says the Charleston Courier, that
“ tin- name of God should be spelt with four let
ters in almost every language. It is in Latin,
Ileusj French, Dieu; Greek, Zeus; German,
Gott; Scundavinian, Odiu ; Sweuden, Codd;

Iu connection with the foregoing, how appro
priate-how grand—how sublime—was Pope’s
conception ot the Deity when, in his “ Univer
kkl Prayer," he |ienncd the following linns:
“ Father of all, In every age.
In every clime adored,
Hy saint, by savage, and by sage,

There is a report iu town, which is credited

jewelry and other unneccsaary wearing apparel,
which she bought while presiding over the do

even those who say they have seen her ut the

it is quite likely that her luxuriant trappings are

Conservative .VIretina In Uwlnnett.
In oliedicuce to a previous call made, a re
spectable portion ol tbe people ol Gwinnett ns
scudded in the court house ut Lawrencevllle,
October 1st, 1807, and the meeting was duly or
ganized by calling Maj. Richard D. Winn to the
Clmir, and requesting Dr. W. Si. Maltliie to act
as Seccrclary.
The Chairman thereupon, in a few appropri
ate remarks, explained the object of the meeting
to be the appointment of delegates to ttie District
Convention called to assemble at Stone Moun
tain on the 12lli October instant.
Maj. W. E. Simmons then introduced a pream
ble and resolutions, which were read, and on
motion of Col. Sam. J. Winn, referred to a spe
cial committee ol five, who should also tie
barged with.the duly ol reporting the names of
two suitable persons from each militia district
to represent this county in the approaching Dis
trict Meeting. The Chair appointed as that com
mittee, Col. Sam. J. Winn, Col. J. N. Glenn, Dr.
Samuel H. Freeman, A. A. Tribble, and Hope
J. Brogdon. With some immaterial alterations
and slight additions to tho preamble aud resolu
tions as originally read, the billowing wero sub
mitted hy the Committee, and adopted unani
mously, viz:
Whereas, The General Commanding the
Third Military District, pursuant to the require
ments of au act of Congress, untilied "An Act to
provide lor the more effleieut government of the
rebel States,” adopted March 7th, 1807, and the
acts supplementary thereto, has issued an order
for an election to be held in tho State ot Geor-
Hon. W. H. Barnes, nominated as a Con
servative candidate for tho Convention in Cham
bers and Tallapoosa counties, Alabama, lias de
clined, on the grouud that his name lias been
erased from flic list of registered voters, and lie is,
therefore, disqualified. He says he is satisfied
that the order to erase his name was made to
prevent itim from being a candidate as a Con
servative ; that, had he been a Radical, no ques
tion would ever have been raised os to his rigid
to register.—Columbus Enquirer.
On the Otli of July, 1863, General Sheridan
gave his opinion ot negro suffrage in an address
to tho returned soldiers at Chicago. He said:
“I waul those who have been in the South to
bear testimony to tbe condition of these freed
negroes. My own opinion is that they are not
fitted tor the exercise ot the franchise. 1 want
them to get a fair price (or their labor, bat I do
not thiuk they are fitted to take part in tho legis
lation of the country.” These arc the persons
the Radicals arc iu tavor of making the equals
of white nteti at the polls by Federal power.
Death of Samuel Rider.—Samuel Rider,
for many years a citizen of this county, but of
late a citizen of Forsyth county, died at his rcsi
dence, tour miles below Cumming, on Monday
last. According to his request before his death,
ids remains arrived here on Wednesday,, and
was interred in flic cemetery at this place. Mr.
Rider was a good and uselui citizen, and was
loved by all who knew him. He leaves a large
family to mourn his loss. - Dahlonegu Signal.
The Great Possum.—Wlienever Thud. Ste
vens causes the telegraph to declare him at
death’s door, we know he is playing possum.
That dropsy of the chest Ims sulisided. He is
again well and busy over hist little schemes. It
is now announced that lie will visit liis furnace
and the Upper Lake*. A savage critic growls
that he “had better visit the furnace in conjunc.
lion with the lower lake.”—Augusta Constitu
tionalist.
No Oath Required by Delegate*.
Richmond, September 25.— 1 The following
letter will be published in the Whig to-morrow:
Headquarters First Military District,
State, of Virginia, Richmond, September 84,
1807.—Him 1 have received your coiiiiniinirn-
lion of this date, asking my decision of (lie
question whether delegates to the Slate (unveil
lion will be requred to take the oath prescribed
hy act of Congress (or ollteers of the United
States, and section nine ol the act ot lltli July,
lor “all persons lu-realVer elected or appointed
to office in said Military District under any so-
called State or municipal uutlinrily, or hy detail,
or appointment of the District Commanders.”—
In reply I have no hesitation in saying tliul dele
gates to Hie State Convention cannot be required
to take the oath referred to. Section nine of the
act ol July tilth refers to officers elected under
authority of the so-called or "provisional" Statu
Governments. This cannot lie construed to iu-
clude delegates to a State Convention elected
under authority ol the Congress ot the United
Slates. No oalli whatever lias been prescribed
by law for delegates to the Slate Convention^
and (here is no authority Imt Congress compe
tent lo prcHcrilie such oath. The only restric
tion iiiqroscd upon the registered voters in the
selection of their delegates to the Convention, is
that contained in the tilth section ol the net of
March 2*1, viz: “No |«:rsoii excluded Irorn tin-
privilege of holding office hy said proposed
amendment to the Constilution of the •oiled
States shall tic eligible to election as a > mber
of a Convention to frame a Constitution i. j- any

Carteusvili.e, Oct. a, 1807.
In the Express, published nt (Ida place, on the
271b ultimo, there is nn nrllclo on the " Light
Caso" that demands nomo notice. The writer
»f It (| do not believe the editor wrote It) proles-
sea to give " a true version of the allair," aud
nays “ that many false nud oxagguralcd rumors
have gained circulation which do great Injustice
to Ilm military authorities."
Alter these statements one would reasonably
suppose that tho truth would ho written. Hut
wlml lollows? Tho writer stales that alter Wil
liam Light wu* acquitted in July "a suspicion
arosu that, although under bond to appear nud
stand his trial al this term of the court, under
the charge of having murdered J. L. HatU-rlh-ld
In this county, on the 18th day of November,
1801, Hint hu would lien the county and not np-
pear for trlul. * * Under these circumstances
hu was arrested by order of General Pope, and
kept in custody by (lie military until the court
w as ready to try him. There lining none but a
temporary aud insecure jail in this county, he
was kept in military custody at Rome. * » *
When the jury "returned with a verdict ol not
guilty, whereupon, by special order, Mr. Light
was released trout military arrest.” In these Inst
xtracts the purpose and intention arc to make a
talse impression. The writer ol the words quo
ted knew his statements were false, if lie knew the
facts in tho case, lie tries to make the readers
ot the Express believe that Light was arrested
that lie uiighl he here to he tried for another ol-
lonse. There is not one word of truth lit this
Light was arrested because he had been acquit
ted, uud General Pope’s order says intpro|»erly
acquitted. The Solicitor General, Josiah R. Par
rott, wrote a statement of tiie ease on which
Light had been tried and acquitted, and this
statement was earried lo General Pope, and lie
then ordered Light to be arrested. Light’s
counsel then went lo see General Pope nnd tried
to have him discharged; but, while General
Pope admitted that he knew he could uot try
him again, he refused to discharge him, saying
hu had sent all the papers to Washington
But this falsifier says there was nn “insecure
jail" here, and Light was sent to Rome. Yes
he was sent lo Rome in irons, while under bond
to appear al court, but uot because the jail was
insecure; tor there was a negro then in tho
secure jail" under sentence of death lor murder
And there whs a guard of United States soldiers
to protect the “ insecure jail.” And this same
“insecure jail kept Light in it lor uearly two
weeks during court, after he was brought back
from Rome.
But this same truth telling writer says that
when Light was acquitted of tiie charge ol mur
dering Satterfield, he was "hy special order re
leased from military arrest." I happened to be
iu the court house when the verdict ol “not
guilty" was read, and one of Light's counsel
asked for an order dischargiug him lrom cuslo
dy, and the Judge ordered him released ; but
military officer stepped up to the Judge on the
bench, and told him that he could not discharge
Light without au order from General Pope, and
then walked out of the court house with Light
guarded by a file of soldiers. Now, il Light
wus arrested, taken out of the custody ot
Ins hail, nnd kept hy the military that lie
might be tried lor another offense, why was he
not set at liberty when lie was acquitted and the
Judge of the Superior Court ordered liis dis
charge ? The jail was guarded while Light was
iu it, belore he was carried to Home; it was
guarded while he was iu Rome; and was guard
ed after his return, and this same guard was
around him in tiie Court House while he was on
trial, nnd he was in the custody of this same
guard until soiuo time in the night after lie was
acquitted. The indignation ol the people was
truly loyaT—\vTio caused Light to lie arrested by
the military, that a dispatch by telegraph was
sent to Atlanta, urging his release, and then
came the "special order” of General Pope, ns I
am informed.
'ftie jail ol this county, with a military guard
around it, held Light nnd other prisoners while
Light was in it. Rut since Light was discharged,
there lias been a "general jail delivery," and the
negro who hud been convicted ol murder, nnd
twice respited by General Pope, and a white man
convicted ol simple larceny, (horse stealing,) on
Monday night, by some means, broke open the
jail, and, eluding the watchful vigilance of the
mililury guard, made their escape. The gallows
is cheated of its due, hilt (lie murderer is a
“loyal" freedman.
When prisoners escaped from the jail of this
county last March, the Hhcrili nnd his deputy
were secretly charged, secreily tried, (they know
ing nothing of it,) secretly condemned, and then
openly punished hy removal trout office. Won
der if tiie present loyal officers (General Pope's
appointees) will receive the same just and con
stitutional trial uud judgment ?
Subscriber.
P. S.—Since writing the above, I am informed
that a military officer says a Yankee soldier
broke the jail open and let out the prisoners.—
Where were the soldiers who were guarding the
jail ? Would the jail have been opened if Light
hud been in it ? Who believes it ? If tho negro
condemned lo he hung had not been in it, would
the jail liuve been broken open? S.

The Bradley AH'nlr, No. 8.
In our issue of yesterday morning wo men
tioned that several arrests were made utter the
Clii|>|tewu Square demonstration. Tiie parlies
arrested were committed to the barracks nnd
brought up belore the Mayor yesterday morning.
Lieutenant Bell, who was iu charge ol (lie bar
racks when the prisoners were brought in, pre
sented a miscellaneous assortment of pistols ol
various descriptions, razors, knives, powder and
cup*, which hud been taken from the prisoners.
There were sixteen of them brought up to an
swer, all of whom professed perfect innocence.
Not oik- acknowledged that lie knew where
Bradley lived, or that lie had anything lo do with
him. The evidence, however, showed that each
one was a participant in the crowd which re
fused to disperse at tbe command of the police.
William Johnson resisted the arresting officer,
and was sentenced to serve sixty days at the U.
S. barracks.
Jim Habersham, Albert Gibbons, and Jim
Harris, were each sentenced lo thirty days,
Cornelia Thompson and Marin Habersham,
who were influential in raising a disturbance,
were each tlued six dollars or twenty days in
jail
The other negroes who were arraigned, hav
ing only been present out of curiosity, ami prov
ing good characters, were dismissed after an ad
monition from the Mayor as to the evil of being
in bad company. His Honor considered that
they had been already sufficiently punished by
being locked up since two o’clock the day be
fore.
One exception was made against Jolm Brown,
who had recently come from Augusta, nud re
sisted the officer who arrested him. He was
fiued five dollars.—Sarannah Adrertiser.
Ths Convention Flection In Alabama.
Of this election the Montgomery Vail, of the
3d Instant, says:
“The election farce passed off’ yesterday to the
eutiro sutislnetion of the bogus voters aud thu
white swindlers who manage,I them, nnd to the
litter disgust ot thu legitimate voters. No Con
servatives went near the polls. The Radical no-
groes were supplied with Radical ballots, were
conducted to the polls, and pal their pieces ol pa
per into a box—aud the thing was over! Never
IM-rhaps was such a revolting seenu witnessed in
any enlightened country upon thu laee of the
globe—un attempt to prostrate intelligence nud
pm|M-rty Iteloru ignorance uud puit|>erism, an at
tempt lo overthrow ftmdameiiial law hy the bay
onet, at a period til profound peace and in the
ol lihei
name ol liberty nnd just lee. The election held
yesterday In Alabama was a serious, delusive,
wieketl three, |>crloriucd in defiance of public
opinion and ut the expense of the intelligent tax
iiayers ol the Slate. The newly enfranchised
Block Republicans and tint red Radicals of tho
‘itching paint’ had thu allair all lo themselves,
lor the while men saw clearly enough how the
IMililieal block legs bail stocked thu cards, and
they determined to have no hand or part Iu so
treurherous a game."
Comment upon the foregoing is unnecessary!
