Pope’s “Black Crook” performance
when tho resolution was introduced de

Pending tho above the “kinks” got

Triumph of the SeaUwtfi and NIK*
(era.
Those who have been deceived into
the hope that moderate counsels were
likely to prevail in the Pope’s Mulatto
Convention, by the absence of extrava¬
gance during the first few days of its
session, may read their disappointment
in the telegram announcing that that
body has authorized and requested John
Pope to consummate the dearest wish
of his heart by the decapitation of Gov.
Jenkins.
This action may be justly regarded as
a triumph complete and overwhelming
for the radical faction. The movement
inaugurated by a canting, hypocritical,
radical Parson wag taken up by Bradley,
the Boston nigger, and despite the ear¬
nest opposition of such men as McCay,
A.ckerman, and others lias been carried.
It is true that the dead beef of Bullock
was stricken oif before its passage could
be accomplished; hot this will put no bar
upon the action of Pope who will ap¬
point Bullock, if it shall so please his
Majesty. We confess to no disappoint
mont at this result. We have known
and felt from the first that the nigger
power in that ooncern would assert
itself whenever time and occasion
prompted.
Pope now feels himself free from the
restraints imposed upon him by the
President and Gen. Grant. Withabody
under his control prompt to do his bid¬
ding, ready and willing to aid him in
every desire and design looking to the
humiliation, degradation and oppres¬
sion of the white people of Georgia, he
will soon put the proud old common¬
wealth, her fair lame and credit, her
Treasury and resources at the mercy of
barbarians and their keepers.
Georgia Teachers’ Association.
This body, Kev. Dr. Tucker, of Mer¬
cer University, presiding, co tvened in
Macon on Wednesday. The Telegraph
states there are about sixty delegatus in
attendance “among whom are many of
the most prominent Teachers, Profess¬
ors and Presldentsof the State.’’ Among
the delegates appears the name of G. M.
Dew’s, Superintendent of the Public
School of Columbus.
Reports on the following subjects
wero read by the persons who had been
appointed to prepare them at the last
session of the Committee :
Arithmetic—By Prof. Rutherford, ol
the University ol Georgia. J. 13. TV'illot, of
Chemestry—By Pro!
Mercer University. Read by Dr. II. H
Tucker, Prof W. being absent.
Natural Science—By Prof. W. L.

Republican Institutions, to aid or en¬
force the education of the children of

Gramuier—By Rev J. M. Bonncll, of
Wesleyan Female College.
There was considerable discussion on
some of these topics, especially that
reported on by Col. Fouche, alter
which the Convention adjourned until
7 p. m.
The Telegraph thus speaks of the
Night Session.
At night the Association was address¬
ed at length by Rev. Dr. Sears, of Bos¬
ton, the General Agent of the Peabody
Educational Fund. lio explained the
intentions of the Trustees in regard to
the Fund, and 6 tatod that it would be
devoted to tho assistance of public
schools already established, and which
may hereafter bo established, in the
Southern Stales, lie made many inter¬
esting remarks on the subject of cduca
Uon generally, and on the administra¬
tion of the great trust committed to his
hands, lie stated that about $20,COO of
tho Peabody Fund would bo dedicated
to the educational cause in Georgia dur¬
ing the coming year. Association
Tho ihanks ol tho were
tendered Dr. Bears for his interesting
address.
A resolution was offered and passed
by the Association recommending the
Legislature to adopt a system of public

Retrenchment. ~ “ Mack ” the
Washington correspondent oi 1 he Gin
cinuatl Commercial, is responsible for
tho following statement The charge
relative the tho acting Vice-President
of the Senate, involves a matter of law
on which “Mack” is a questionable au
thority. Tho points are worth consid
eying.
Tried President, by the test which they apply to
tho Congress might be iin
peached, individually and collectively,
every session. Scarcely a week passes
but public money is used for some pur
poses for which there is no warrant in
law or Constitution. To take an illue
tration from the present session: The
first issue of The Globe, a week ago,
contains a speech purporting to have
been made by Judge Lawrence in tho
House of Representatives. It never
was made, nor was permission ever
given to have it printed. Yetitisprint
ed and published at an expense ol about
$200 to the Government. Hero is just
as clear a violation of law as is
against the President. Judge Lawrence
has no more legal right to print that
speech at public expense then he has to
print the stump speeches he makes in
Ohio at the public expense. Yet no
one thinks of Impeaching him for hav
ing done so. Take another case. For
two years Mr. Foster of Counecticut
drew a salary of $8,000, and $2,500 for
a private Secretary, entitled when he was, by
the letter of the law, to no more
thau the salary of a Senator of the Uni
ted States. Mr. Wade does the same
aow. He draws the salary of Vice
President, and is known as “acting
Vice-President,” an office not reccg
nized by tne Constitution or any law of
the United States. It is entirely a bre
vet rank, the extra pay has been attach
ed to it since 1865 by courtesy, and not
by rigid; Instances and so on to the end of the
chapter. might be multipli
ed to show that no department ol the
Governmnnt could stand the test of
strict accountability for its expenditures
to which the report of the Judiciary
Committee seeks to hold Mr. Johnson,
The Republican Congressior*'Commit
tee have had in their employ, as South
ern missionaries, for a rear past, a large
number of men paid as clerks and offl

Is there warrant of law for this ? If so,
it would enlighten a great many anx
ious inquirers to point just where it is.

EIGHTH DAT.
[Reported fur the Atlanta Intelligencer.]
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 18, 1867.
The Convention met pursuant to ad¬
The journal was read, and the Pres¬
ident announced that the first thing in
order was the unfinished business of
yesterday, which was the consideration
of the petition, offered by J. H. Cald¬
well, recommending the itunoval of
Governor Jenkins, and that Aaron 4.1
peoria Bradley (negro) had the floor.
Aaron rose and asked if the cali of
the roll for introduction of new matter
was not first in order ? The chair an¬
swered in the negative, and Aaron pro¬
ceeded to say: off, in
He would begin, where he left
enumerating the reasons why Governor
Jenkins should not remain in the Exec¬
utive chair. The Governor had never
taken tho test oath and therefore ought
to be removed. He claimed that the
advocates of the measure represented
69,000 constituents, and its opponents
only 36,000, and declared the majority
should rule:
He said Gen. Pope had been recreant
to his trust; he had not discharged his
duty in such a manner as to advance
the cause of reconstruction. That none
but rebels could get employment on the
State Road.
Foster Blodgett advocated the meas
ure, uot on account of any enmity
against Governor Jenkins, but because
the Governor was ^iu impediment Bulloch to re¬
construction, and because R. 13.
was a loyal man, in favor of reconstruc¬
tion.
Mr. Baffold. here rose to a point ol j
order The resolutions of Mr. Caldwell j ■
were, he claimed, not proper matter for 1
consideration, under the resolution re
ported from the committee of ten, and
adnntnH adopted vpsi yesterday— r-r/1 „ v— Iin oui I was whs not not SUB- -us
talned by the Chair.
J. R. Parrott thought much irrelevant
matter had been discussed. Governor
Jenkins iiad done much to impede re¬
construction, yet it did not become the
Convention lo dictate to General Pope,
nor would he make a political caucus of
the Convention. It had assembled for j
a specific purpose, and should confine j |
itself thereto. Their friends at Wash
ington and the groat Republican party j
were anxiously expecting a report of j
their action, and it was important that \ I
the Convention should proceed with its
legitimate only object business, of the lie alleged that |
the measure was to
secure office; and moved to postpone until ,
the consideration of the matter the
8 tli of January, 1868. S
J. L. Dunning said such a re com
mendatlon was improper—Geu. Pope j
was responsible and could act for him- j
self. I
made upon Gen. Pope by Aaron Alpeo- j
riaBradlwy, (uegro.) The Republican !
party owed much to Geu. Pope, who
had, in delianco of tho Executive, exa
cuted the will of Congress. He argued
the'necessity of the measure, to iusure
success in the approaching campaign.
Their enemies, he said, were powerful
and well organized. Gov. Jenkins was j
their tool ; he was associated with those ;
who had murdered his brother and 1
friends at AudeiBODville, by J systematic J
cruelty. , {
T. P. Saffold said, the Con veutlou
had better attend to its own business.
He was a Georgian—elected by negroes
and therefore partly reproseuted the ; I
651,000; but the proposition under con
sidcration was not made in their inter- i
est; il was for office—for spoils—(a
sound from Aaron Conqueror Alpeoria Bradley J |
(negro)—“tho was entitled
to thorn”)—and if adopted would im - 1
pedereconstruction (a sound again from 1
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley (negro) “hear,
hoar, hear !” that this eiforfc to secure I 1
otilce by hungry, lean aspirants ^vas

disgusting.
C. H. Prince said, he Was from New
England and wanted the spirit of New ;
England to prevail-ho fought with the j
Union army ami was opposed to Govev- |
nors and Ex*Governors, who had called i
out uaL the luo i Militia ! U in 1U 180,’) to lU nnnnse oppose me the rU- . d- 1
van.ee oi the T Union T army. ;
A. W. Holcombe said, the sole cause
of trouble in the Convention was
presence of ... interlopers. He had
it determined gone
into to control bis preju
dices and oppose everything calcu.ated
to array the whites and blacksagainat
each oilier. (Aaron. Alpeoria Bradley,
said il was not in order to allude
to race or color.) Ho affirmed that the
people ot Georgia were earnestly in
l'avor of reconstruction and rcconcilia
tiou, but that they did not want for
Governor, a man unknown ; thuy would
not give to such a man, unable to wield
a barrow, a broad axe to hue out the
brains and prosperity of Georgia. He j
moved to amend by recommending the
removal of Gen. Pope, stating that he
had no charge to make against Gen.
Pope, but that he considered the pro
posed measure a censure upon the Gen
eral, and that he offered the amendment
that delegates might vote distinctly,
H. K. McCoy said the great burden
of the reconstruction party was the
charge, that its object was office and
spoils, and that the measure proposed
justified the charge ; for its real object
was to get possession of the Btate Road,
J. H. Caldwell said he was in favor of
measures, not men, and characterized
'he attack made upon Gen. Pope as in
famous.
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, (uegro,)
g aid ho wanted no man to call him infa
mous. He moved to adjourn, and re- j
quested the friends of the measure to
meet at 7£ o’clock.
motion was lost, and L. N.
Trammell rose to correct an assertion,
that none but rebel soldiers could get
employment on the State Road, lie
asserted most positively that 0-lOths of
the men now employed upon that Road
were Union men, who endorsed the re
construction acts, many ol whom were
Union soldiers, and others, who desert
ed Georgia when the war commenced,
and who did not return until it had
ended. He said that the only qualifica
tion required by the Superintendent
was competency,
Foster Blodgett called for the previous
question, which was upon tue motion
to postpone, made by J. R. Parrott,
The call was sustained, and upon this
motion the yeas were 77; nays, 78.
J- H. Caldwell then moved to divide
the question, that a vote might be taken
upon the first part of the proposition ;
this was allowed.
He then moved the adoption iff the
first part of the proposition, to wit:
“5\ e, the representatives ot that ma
jority, are now striving to overcome the
obstacles in the path of restoration to
civil law, and therefore respectfully
petition the General commanding this
District that a Provisional Governor be
appointed who wilt assist in the great
