The delegates to the Deniocrafic Conven tion are requested to assemble to-morrow in Davis’ Hall, at 10 o'clock, a. in., at which hour the Convention will be called to order, and pro ceed to orgaoize tor business The chairmen of the several delegations are requested to have lists ot the names of the delegates from their respective counties prepared and ready to be handed to the Secretary upon the call of the counties. E. G. Cabanibs, Chairman Central Ex. Com. Word* in Season. The suggestions embraced in the following letter from an esteemed correspondent are worth the serious attention ot the Convention which will assemble to-morrow morning at Davis’ Hall in this city. We invite tbe attention of tbe sev eral delegates composing that body to it, as it contains words in season, spoken in time to pro mote the public good: [COKRKSI-OKDEKCE OF TBE INTELLIGENCES J Columbus, July 20lli, 1868. There aro two suggestions I beg leave to make through your columns to the Democratic Con vention about to assemble in Atlauta i * 1. In selecting Presidential Electors, that only such men be named as are not disqualified by the proposed Fourteenth Article of the Consti tution of the United States. That Article will be ratified, or will be held to have been ratified, before the Presidential election ; and you may be sure that Electors disqualified by the amend ment to hold any office, will be held by a Radi cal Congress to be also disqualified from acting as Presidential Electors. This is one ot the con tingencies had in view by Congress when it passed, a tew days ago, what is known as the Electoral Bill. This matter is so important that it can only be necessary to call the attention oi the Convention to it. Let us take no risks. 2. When our electoral ticket shall have been announced, and the campaign opened, let all, or nearly all, our speakers go to Northern Geor gia, and away from the cities and railway lines. Ammunition enough was wasted in Atlanta last April to have carried the State for Gordon and elected a majority ot the Congressmen, if it had been properly distributed. Barbecues, and fes- .tive gatherings for middle and lower Georgia, and prudent and earnest speakers for the North ern counties—this should be our policy. I see that Generals Cobb and Toombs, and Hon. B. H. Hill, have been invited to speak in Augusta. They might as well speak in the moon, for all the good they can do. Let them and other speakers rather go to Atlieng, and Griffin, and LaGrange, and work thenc£ $p to the Tennessee line. Q. SEX ATE. Jptr 22d, 1868. The Scnato.met pursuant to adjournment, and was opened by prayer. Mr. Smith moved to reconsider so much ot the Journal as relates to the action of the Sen ate on tbe hour of meeting and adjournment. Mr. Smith’s motion was agreed to, and the Senate agreed to strike out 9 aud insert 10 o’clock as the hour of adjournment. Mr. Higbee, lrom the Committee on Inaugu ration, made a report that they had discharged that duty, and the Governor would name Wednesday, the 22d, at 12 o’clock, m. The re port of the Committee was agreed to. Leave of absence, tor a few days, was granted to Messrs. Holcombe, Adkins and Moore. On motion, the Senate took a recess until 11£ o’clock, when, on reassembling, tbe Senate, on motion, repaired to the Hall of the House of Representatives for the purpose of participating in the inauguration of Gov. Bullock. The Senate took a recess. After reassembling, the Senate went in a body into the Representa tive Hall to witness the inauguration; after which they repaired to their Chamber and ad journed to 10 o'clock, a. m., Friday next. •* HOUSE. House met. Prayer by Rev. Dr. N. M. Craw ford. The journal of yesterday was read and con firmed.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VETO. The President’s veto message on the Southern electoral vole bill was submitted to the Cabinet to-day and unanimously approved. Mr. John son, however, holds the document under advise ment for revision, and may not send it to Con gress until Monday neat—Correspondent Balti more Sun, l£th inst. THE DESPERATION OF THE RADICALS. The frightful desperation of the present domi nant party, in the efforts to hold political power despite the voice of the people, is well illustra ted by the action of the House of Representa tives yesterday, in the contested election case from Missouri, of Switzler, Conservative, vs. An- “derson, Radical. A county in Switzler’s district, , *over the registration ot which there has been some contest, gave a very large Conservative ma jority—a majority whiefi might possibly control the electoral vote of the State in the Presiden tial election. Should Congress admit Switzler to the seat.to which he has been elected, they would thereby recognize the validity of the reg istration in this county, and it may become ne cessary to control the Electoral College by se curing the electioral vote ot Missouri, and to do this it also becomes necessary to throw out the vote of the Conservative county, which the Rad icals say they can do under the pretense of im proper registration, provided Congress does not in advance recognize the registration bythe admission of Switzler. This is but a small por tion of the scheming by the Jacobins to seize upon the Executive power of the government. No stone is to be left unturned. It is even hinted around aiming them that, under the operation of tbe fotineemh amendment to the Constitution aud the act now pending before the President regulating the Electoral votes ot the Southern States, they will be able to exclude both Ken tucky and Maryland from the Electoral College. Tbe bill in question excludes from tbe Electoral College all Southern States not entitled to repre sentation in Congress, while the fourteenth amendment excludes representation on a basis ot colored population, unless that population be allowed the right to vote. As the present appor tionment of Kentucky and Maryland is based partially on their colored population, and, with the right of votiDg withheld, the Radicals insin uate that these States are not entitled to repre sentation ufMil after re-apportionment, an" 5 hence will have no right to be counted in the Liectoral College. There can be no doubt that revolution is iutended by the Radical leaders, if revolution be necessary to secure them in their control of the government.— Cor. Baltimore Gazette, 18W instant. THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT—SEWARD’S LETTER. The President sent a message to the Senate enclosing, among other papers, the following letter from the Secretary ot State: To the President: The Secretary of State hav ing received a resolution of the Senate on the 9lfi instant, requesting him to communicate to that body, without delay, a list ot the States of theUuiou whose Legislatures had ratified the tourleonth article of amendment of the Consti- Itlcctlng In nillton County. Alpharetta, Ga., July 18,1-868. According to previous notice a large and re spectable number of the “ respectable ” citizens of Milton county, met at Alpharetta on this day to select delegates for the Convention to meet in Atlauta on the 23d instant. The meeting was organized by calling A. T. Camp to the Chair, and requesting O. P. Shel ton to act as Sec^taiy. The object of the meeting was explained by the Chairman in a few brief remarks. Ou motion of W. S. Grogan, a committee of seven were appointed by the Chair to prepare and report business for the meeting. The Chair appointed the following as the committee, to- wit: Jackson Graham, \V. S. Grogan, H. W. Howell, Dr. John Boon, Terrel B. Cochran, S. i.amberth, and Allred Teasley. At this time Col. II. P. Boll was introduced, and made one of his happy efforts, in a telling speech, which will be like bread cast on the wa ters that will be gathered next November. Col. Boll spoke about forty minutes, aud closed amid tremendous applause. The committee then made their report by pre senting the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: „ Jiewlced, That this meeting hereby most hear tily endorse the platform adopted by the late De mocratic National Convention at New York, and approve its nominees for President and Yice- Presldent, and pledge ourselves to unremitting effort to secure their election. Resolved, That, in our opinion, it i9 the duty of the Conservative Democratic members of the ‘ so called" Legislature ot Georgia to oppose the ratification ot the amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States, known as the 14th ar ticle, and that this meeting expresses its unquali fied condemnation of the action of the lree ne groes aud their Radical conirerees, in said so called Legislature, as well as the militarv despot tuiion of the L nited States, with copies ot all ° the resolutions of ratification in his office, and to whose bidding they do, in endeavoring to ex clude a sufficient number ot the Democratic members to secure a radical majority. Resolved, That this country shall uever be gov erned by ignorant free negroes, irresponsible Yankee adventurers, and their dirty associates ot Southern nativity who are lost to honor, and traitors to their race; and that there is no mid dle ground between the Radical negro party aDd the Conservative Democratic party of the eoun- t ry; as he that is not in favor ot the white man governing, is in favor ot the negro, and thereby makes himself the negro’s equal. Resolved, That this meeting appoint the fol lowing gentlemen delegates to the Convention to Assemble in Atlanta on the 23J instant front this county, to-wit: Jackson Graham aud Dr. John Boon, and then appointed twelve from each militia district to represent in the Mass ■Meeting, aud requested every citizen that possi bly could do so, to attend. Resolved, That the {secretary furnish the At lanta Intelligencer and Constitution with copies, with a request to publish. Of the various methods of manufacturing ice artificially, the simplest consists in placiug a vessel containing water under the receiver of an air-pump, and exhausting the air. The water is rapidly evaporated and the lree vapour absobed by strong sulphuric acid, and in about three minutes a decanter of water can be thus frozen. communicate to that body all resolutions of rati fication of said amendment which he may here after receive, as soon as he shall receive the same respectively, has the honor to report to the President that official notice has been received at this Department ot the ratification of the amendment referred to by the Legislatures of the following States, to wit: Connecticut, Tenmssee, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, West Virginia, Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Wis consin, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Michi gan, Nevada^ New Hamphshire, Massa chusetts, Nebraska, Maine and Iowa. Besides these acts of ratification, notices and certificates have also been received by tbe Secretary ot State that tbe same proposed amendment has beon ratified by the Legislatures of the States respectively ot Arkansas, Florida and North Carolina, which notices and certificates last mentioned were received from the newly con structed and established authorities assuming to be and acting as the Legislatures and Governors of the said States of Arkansas, Florida and North Carolina. These acta of ratification are for this reason stated in this report separately and distinctly, and, for the more accurate infer matiou of Congress, a copy of all the acts and resolutions of ratification of all said Legislatures is herewith subjoined, together with a copy, also, ot certain resolutions ot ibe Legislatures of Ohio and New Jersey, which purport to rescind the resolutions of ratification ot said amendment-, which had previously been adopted by the Legislatures of those two States respectively, and to withdraw their consent to the same. Respectfully submitted. William H. Seward. Independence Day No. 9. To-day having been the day set apart for the inauguration of the Governor elect, we repaired to the Hall of Representatives for the purpose of witnessing that grand phenomena, namely— a Governor inaugurated in a free State at the point of the bayonet Oh, blessed freedom l so loved, so blessed of old, how hast thou changed tby ever glorious ways! Upon our arrival at the Hall, we found large crowds assembled, all eagerly seeking admission, and all alike anxious to witness what was new to most of them—the inauguration of a Gover nor. This brought perhaps more than half the numbers present to the place; and at a few min utes before 12 m. the House was called to order, when the following resolution was read mid unanimously adopted: By Mr. Hudson, of Harris — Besolred, That the Clerk of the House inform the Senate that the House is now ready to re ceive the Senate in their hall for the purpose of inaugurating the Governor elect. The Clerk proceeded with the message to the -Senate. At this juncture the respective Staffs of Gen. Meade and Gen. Sibley, together with the offi cers of the Post entered the hall, but were not long seated before some of them had to vacate in deference to weaker sex. The Messenger here announced that the Sen ate was ready to enter the Hall. The Governor elect, accompanied by Ex-Gov. J. E. Brown, first appeared, and were followed by several officers, among9t them Gen. Meade, together with the members of the Senate. The Governor elect having ascended the Speakers’ stand, then read his inaugural address as follows: Fellow-Citizens, Senators and Representatives: We are assembled here to-day, under the fos tering care and protection of our General Gov ernment. Through its clemency, we are permitted to in augurate a civil government for our State, that will supercede the military power which has been supreme in our midst, since the failure of an attempt to establish the sovereignty of separ ate States, iu opposition to the Constitution and Union, framed by the people of the United States. The misfortunes that have followed a misap prehension of the allegiance due by the individ ual citizen, have become a part of our history, and need only be referred to when there may be danger of its repetition. We have good reason to congratulate our selves, that we have so rapidly abandoned our erroneous opinions; and, that under the benign influence of the liberal laws ot Congress, we have progressed successfully toward a restora tion to our proper place in the Union. And especially should we rejoice, that this has been accomplished, notwithstanding, that in the pursuit ot a proper policy, we have been distracted and divided among ourselves by the failure of the National Executive to act in har mony with the will ol the people constitutionally expressed. * Only twelve months ago, a number of citizens assembled in this city and formed a political or ganization in sympathy with the principles and the policy of a majority of the people of the whole country, and to-day we witness what has been accomplished through the agency of that patriotic body—the Union Republican party. A Constitution has been adopted that guaran tees to all free and universal education, equal political and civil rights, and restores to us self- government. It should not be forgotten that this Constitu tion has been lramed by delegates who were elected under the law which gave the bondman the irresistible weapon of the ballot The wisdom and moderation with which this privilege has been received should overcome all prejudice, quiet all fears, and lead us to appreci ate the-jtistice of enfranchising the freedman. With a territory of magnificent proportions— unsurpassed in richness of natural resources— we have but to apply ourselves to its develop ment to reap a bounteous reward. By united efforts in the enforcement of civil law; securing to every one the lawful expression of their political opinions, and tbe enjoyment of the results of their labor; we will invite within our borders an increased population to share with ns the comforts of our climate, and the wealth of our agricultural and mineral produc tions. Humbly trusting in the sustaining grace of the Great Ruler of us all, I shall endeavor to per form the duties of the high position to which you have elected me, by a strict adherence to the provisions of our Constitution, and in snch a manner as to bring upon us His blessing in a peaceful progressive prosperity. (I am now prepared to receive tbe oath of of fice from the Judicial Representative ol the Uni ted States.) Having concluded the reading of bis address, the Governor elect announced that he was pre pared to receive the oath ot office from the reg ularly authorized representative of the United States. Hon. Judge Erskine then administered the oath of office, npon which Mr. B. Conley, Presi dent of the Senate, who, npon the entrance ol that body, took the chair, read the following proclamation: “ Know ye, know ye, That Rufus B. Bullock is heieby declared. Governor of the State of Georgia lor the term of four years from the date prescribed by the Constitution for the com mencement ot his term. God save the Governor and the Commonwealth ot Georgia.” Some slight applause hailed the announce ment, after which a voice from the end of the Chamber was heard to rise high above every thing else with tbe exclamation, “ Go it, nig- gers!” This expression created quite a sensation. We re the greatest people in the world for get ting up independence days. God only knows how many more we’ll have before the twenty- second ot July, 1878, and then such indepen dence ! The New York limes (Rep.) says: Since Mr. Sumner’s extraordinary anxiety to secure colored Senators has been made public, we un derstand that several capable negroes of Boston are preparing to contest with him for the vacan- 3 which will occur, in a few months, in the assachusetts Senatorship. PROCEEDINGS O* THE MILITARY COMMISSION ASSEMBLED FOB TBI TRIAL O* THX COLUMBUS PRISONERS. TWENTIETH DAY. Wednesday, July 22d. The Court met to-day at the usual hour, when the testimony ot the previous day was read, after which an order was read from General Meade, suspending the proceedings until further orders. Special Telegraphic Correspondence if the Louisville Journal. From tfaiblBKton. Washington, July io, 1868. It is pretty generally believed now that the tariff bill will not be acted on daring this ses sion. This fact is now fixed and derterrained. The friends of the funding bill, in and out of Congress, were in the depths of despair, yester day, about its passage. To-day, however, they are quite sanguine, and hope to carry Boutwell’s substitute without the section which legalizes gold contracts. The President will send in to-morrow his mes sage vetoing the Freedmen’s Bureau bill and the Electoral College bill. This crunches two radi cal crickets at once. The President’s message relative to his favor ite idea of amending the Constitution was coldly received. No action was taken beyond referring it to the Judiciary Committee. It is extremely doubtful whether he will sign the Deficiency bill, which contains large reconstruction appropria tions. The sting has been extracted from the bill for the naturalization of citizens; the reprisal fea ture of it got but few votes. It is generally believed here that Congress will adjourn qp Saturday next. Some facetious peo ple say, however, that the President intends to detain them here and make them sweat, which will be a tremendous joke on that august body. Butler, who is nothing unless he is notorious, raised an awful row in the radical camp yester day, by giving his views on the currency ques tion. The radicals are greatly exercised and troubled over Butlers’ conduct, and do not hesi tate to denounce him as a traitor. Old Thad Steven’s speech about paying bonds in greenbacks has been hushed up for the pre sent. The mendicant Virginia carpet-baggers are still trying hard to secure legislation to stop the new registration.; The Hon. Edmund Cooper has been nomina ted Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and Wells as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Collector Smythe was rejected yesterday as Minister to Austria. His Serene Highness Mandarm Burlingame, who is an exceedingly sharp John Chinaman of a Yankee, is just now advertising himself and bidding lor puffs by giving nice dinners to the members ot the press here. There was an immense ratification meeting here last night, and Andy Johnson came out strong in favor of the nominees. Seward is very mad at all this. Tbe President did not return the tax bill to Congress yesterday, tut reports say that he will sign it. r There is good authority for saying that the course of the President in regard to Mr. Rollins, of the Internal Revenue Department, is likely to suspend the functions of the office under the civil tenure bill. Mrs. Ex-President Tyler is on a visit here for the first time since she left the White House at the expiration of Mr. Tyler’s term. Generals Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and Dent, left Leavenworth the day before yesterday for Denver via Xiao Kansas and Pacific railway. From the Memphis Ledger, July 17. Mysterious. On Tuesday evening last Mr. William Ryan, who at one time kept a stall in tbe South Mem phis market, but who has recently been living with his family in a flat boat at the foot of Beal street, discovered that one of his fishing skiffs had been stolen; and having an intimation as to who was the thief and the direction in which he bad gone, he jumped into another skiff, and in company with a negro boy went in pursuit. Af ter rowing about fifteen miles down stream, he came up with a negro in possession of the iden tical skiff he was in search of, and at once brought him to and regained possession of the craft, cap turing the darkey, whom he concluded to bring back to Memphis with him as a pris oner. In order to do this, he took the thief into the boat with himself, and placed the recov ered skiff in charge of the negro whom he had brought down with him. Thus manned, the two boats were pulled up stream, and arrived opposite the city just as the heavy wind storm was coming up Wednesday evening. Nothing since then has been seen or heard of Mr. Ryau or the thief, who was in the boat with him. The negro in charge of the stolen skiff succeed ed in gaining the shore, and states that when the wind came up the two boats became sepa rated about the middle of the stream, and when be last saw the party in the other boat Ryau seemed to be struggling with his prisoner, who, to all appearances, was attempting to throw him overboard. Whether he succeeded in this and then made his escape in the skiff, or whether the boat was upset and both were thrown into the river and drowned, is not known. Nothing has been seen of the bodies of either since, and Mr. Ryan’9 mysterious absence leaves but little doubt as to his having met with accident er foul play- A Chance to Bet.—A gentleman who can command the means, seriously proposed to bet $1,000 that, counting 36 States in the Union and throwing out the votes of the 10 Southern States, Seymour will carry 22 of the Northern and Western States in the next election, out of 26 that he would name. In addition to this, he proposed to bet $5,000 that Seymour will carry halt the remaining 4 of the Northern and West ern States. Both bets to be taken together. He is anxious to invest his money in this way, and has offered the local of this paper $100 to get some confident Grant man to take it up. We heard some one say the other day that he was anxious to win some money on Grant. Do come up now and Bhow yoor hand, for We are needing about a hundred tbe worst you can imagine.— Columbus Enquirer. Beecher tells us that Grant is “ skilful in using men.” That be is skilful in using them up is sufficiently proven by the bones of the hun dred thousand men hi 'used up during a single campaign in Virginia. High Price fob Board.—We learn that Or dinary board—that is Radical Ordinary Board— at Appling, in Colombia county, Georgia, ranges from $100,000 to $500,000 per month ! That functionary will have to carry his office in his hat, or go to some place where Radicals are more in favor that they are in Columbia.—Au gusta Chronicle & Sentinel. Eleven magnificent horses from the North west ot France, for the purpose of breeding draft horses, have arrived in New York. Eleven more horses, six of which are to be taken to Ohio, are expected by tbe next French steamer. A six year old stallion, which was of the -lot just arrived, stands 16 hands high and weighs 1,700 pouR's, aDd a three-year-old weighs 1,400 pounds. A radical paper tells us that “ Gen. Grant will carry into the Presidential chair a well-bal anced mind.” He should throw away his bottle, that he may cany also a well-balanced body.— Prentice. BY TELEGRAPH. SEW YORK ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES NO ON DISPA TORES. From Washington. Washington, July 22.—Apprehending unfa vorable hygienic resalts, the removal of the Con federate dead from Johnson’s Island has been postponed. The Southern members of Congress held a caucus this morning to consider the situation ot the States of Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas, and make arrangements for the campaign. The Senate passed a bill directing a sworn en gineer to report at the next.aeasion regarding the bridging ot the Ohio river.

Thirty years ago he arrived at Frank fort with only twenty francs in his pocket. He is nominally the President ot a stock company, but he waters tbe stock constantly and keeps most ot the shares in his pocket. The other stockholders do not complain, because they get from sixty to ninety per cent, interest on their capital, although they are entitled to much larger dividends. When business at the roulette and trente-etquarante tables is dull, the news is spread everywhere that somebody has won enormous sums of money from the “bank.” Gudgeons from all the other watering places then flock to Homburg. It was Blanc who first introduced into his gambling-bell the feature ot female decoy-ducks. Ladies gen erally shrink from gambling there if the seats at tbe tables are all occupied by the lords of creation. The shrewd Blanc, therefore, employs halt a dozen Parisian cocottes with somewhat faded charms to sit all day long at the tables and gamble with funds which he furnishes to them. They are very richly dressed, and the croupiers address them with “Duchess” and “Countess,” and the like; but these wretched women have to doff their finery at 11 o’clock at night, when the kurousal is closed, and when they return in their own humble toilet to the garrett where they live. Their expenses are paid by Blance, who gives them in addition five or six Panes a day. Villemessant says that every newspaper publisher should offer premiums for clubs and new subscribers, if for no other purpose, at least, to make everybody read the prospectus ot the paper. He says he owes a great deal cf his suc cess as a newspaper man to the reflection which be always bestowed on the premium depart ment of his papers. He 9ays one year oraDges were exceedingly scarce and dear in Paris.— Hence, he caused a cargo of them to be bought for him iu Bordeax, had them brought to Paris by a special train, put in neat paper boxes hold ing a dozen each, and offered them as premiums to whosoever would 'send in a year’s subscrip tion to the Figaro. He says he obtained in this manner about five thousand new subscribers, very lew of whom would have thought ot taking the paper but for tbe oranges. General Cluseret, editor of the paper L'Art, speaks in terras ot derision of the gullibility of Americans in regard to the purchase ot painting supposed to he valuable. He says: “In New York and Philadelphia I have seen the galleries of many gentlemen who collected them at a very heavy expense, and who, nevertheless, obtained for all their lavish outlay nothing but miserable copies palmed off upon them as originals. In Paris, taste is so well cultivated among the edu cated classes that the owner ot such a gallery would not be long iu becoming the laughing stock of all the world ;* but in New York and Philadelphia hundreds.of men, pretending to be well educated, inspect these galleries of daubs without perceiving how worthless they are.” Louisa Muhlbach is engaged in writing a historical novel entitled “From Solferino to Koniggratz,” in twelve volumes. Her late nov els in bchiller and Goethe and the sequel, Prince Louis Ferdinand, have been unsuccessful iu Germany. Janke, her Beilin publisher, has made a large fortune out of tbe Muhlbach books, which be sells, in paper covers, at about three tunes the rates charged for the well-bound and handsomely illustrated translations published in the United States. A Frenchman proposes to assist enterprising merchants by pyrotechnical advertisements. He gives pyrotechnical displays consisting exclu sively of the names and addresses of business firms, burning in blue, red, and green flames. Whenever he has a hundred subscribers, he gives a representation to which everybody is admitted tree of charge. Dr. O. W. Holmes having been called npon and considerably bored by a gentleman who bad devoted himself to lecturing in New England without much ability lor doing so, inquired: “What are you at about this particular time? ” The answer was, “Lecturing, as usual.
