TUESDAY MORNING January 11. JW
Th* Law Twcmphaht.—-When Mr. Stan
ton waa suspended, he quickly took his hat,
turned over hi* portfolio to General Grant,
and walked out. When the Senate passed
its resolution reinstating him, he as quickly
walked in again, received his portfolio back
from the Secretary ad interim, hanging his
hat On its accustomed peg, and resumed the
dßties of his office, as he facetiously said,
"after an absence of a few weeks.
This is the only and fair specimen of the
respect for law which prevails in this coun
try, and that no matter what passion or
excitement prevails before a question is
legally eeUled, the moment it is, friends and
opponents of the measure alike submit, and
so instantaneous and complete is the acqui
escence, that in times of very great excite
ment the transition from the storm to the
calm is something remarkable. So strong is
the feeling of loyalty, that we doubt that
President Johnson, should he attempt to use
his office and official power to forcibly sub
vert any law of Congress, could find a single
tnsn outside the leading obstructionists of
the South to stand by and assist him. The
effort would be as contemptible and inglori
ous as the reason for which it would be
made.
Let Congress, then, retain its determined
and dignified position, and maintain the
supremacy of the law by a strict adherence
to all its forms, and it may depend upon the
continued sympathy and support of the
people.

PERSECUTION.
Mb. Editor : In polities I am what they
call a Conservative, being entirely opposed
to the Radical party, and as such, wish to
address a word to the party of which I am a
part.
I have examined carefully all the points
thus far brought to bear in the case of the
Mayor and City Council for mal-'administra
tion, and can see nothing in it but political
persecution. There is not a single indi
vidual who appended his uume to the peti
tion recently gotten up for the removal of
the present Mayor and Council, but can say
■with truth that we have an efficient Board.
Hon. Foster Blodgett, Mayor, iiaffipg
his home, family, and friends in out
certainly would not do aught to Jhe
ment of our City or that home.
fact, proved himself a remarkable m™;
with the utmost perseverance, and an iron
will; he has met and refuted all the charges
brought against him by his political enemies.
He has proved himself a good Mayor in
the past and at the present, and it is only
his political enemies and defeated aspirants
for office who abuse and villify him. No
man can charge him with ever deserting a
friend. In fact, I have heard men opposed
to him in politics give him* credit for stand
ing by his friends. And, gentlemen, would
you not do the same if you were placed in
the position? If you did not, then you
would be ungrateful. Cease your perse
cutions, gentlemen, and let more reason
guide your action, and deal with facts as
they exist. A Conservative.
ANOIHER CONVERT.
General Meade declines to be Johnsonieed.
His speech to the Georgia Convention is a
clear, forcible and highly encouraging state
ment of his understanding of his duty under
the law, and it gives assurance that he
means to protect the convention in the per
formance of its duty, to secure afair election
according to the terms of the law upon the
constitution submitted, and to protect all
persons in life, property and liberty, through
the civil authorities if it can be done, hut by
the military force if necessary. The Gen
eral deserves the more praise for this manly
declaration of his conscientious conviction
of duty, because it represses those hopes
which rebels had built upon his appointment,
and gives to Union men new courage and
spirit. Further indication of bis purposes is
afforded by the assurance that he will use
his power to secure to the convention funds
for its necessary expenses, and to “give
temporary vitality to any ordinances which
may be necessary to carry out, the recon
struction law." This covers the whole
ground. Acting faithfully according to these
frank declarations, General Meade will de
serve the lhauks of the country, and will
rival if not surpass Sheridan and Thomas in
the affections of the loyal people—even as
he rivaled them by his great services during
the war.
The conqueror of Gettysburg refuses to
become the tool of Mr. Johnson in a crusade
against reconstruction. He refuses to join
with rebels and copperheads in efforts to
defeat the restoration of the Union. He
prefers to stand with the victor of Vicksburg
and the Wilderness, with the captor of
Atlanta and Savannah, with the hero of
Winchester and Five Forks, with the con
queror of Nashville, and with the thousands
of brave and true men who vote as they
fought. Some strange fatality seems to
attend Johnson’s selection of military-com
manders. He selected Sickles, a Democrat;
Sheridan, a Democrat; Ord and Schofield,
Conservatives, and every one of them be
came Radicals. He selected Canby in place
of Sickles, and he became a Radical. He
selected Hancock, and achieved one succoss,
by which the otherwise unbroken darkness
of his failures is made visible and impres
sive. He selected Meade, and now even
the Radicalism of Pope is surpassed by this
officer, who, less than a year ago, was asked
by Pennsylvania Democrats to be their
candidate lor Governor. Something in the
atmosphere of the South turns into a Radical
alt. st every true soldier and true man that
bics'hes it. Or rather,something In the
con lition of the South, forces every honest
man who has Jo study the question to
a<((]Uhe reconstruction policy of Congress
a only chance of a safe, just or. loyal
restoration of the revolted States' to the
Union. — tit. Loui* Democrat.
, Gbneiiai.Meale.—A correspondent wants
ui to tell him through the columns of the
Era, something raoro definite about Gen.
Meade’s present end futuro policy. So far,
the General’s policy has been prompt, wise
and statesmanlike, and, as far as we can
judge, be has no purpose for the future bnt
to ao his whole autv, whether it pleases or
not. We honor him for the past, and up
to this writing see no reason to distrust him
in the future. The General keeps his own
counsels, further than this we cannot speak.

[From our Special Correspondent
LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Washikotok, Jau. 16, 1807.
am excited community.
A high state of public excitement ba»
prevailed in Washington for the last two
days. Upon the streets and tu work
shops men have talked intemperately and
gost.culated violently. Tho public pulse is
at fever heat. The telegraphic dispatches
that have already been flashed through the
land have communicated to you the bold
and manly action of tho Senate, in rein*
stating Mr. Stanton to tbe War Department’
and the probability of tbe passage, by both
Houses, of a bill vitally affecting the powers
of the Supreme Court ; as well as the terms
ol the new Reconstruction bill, reported to
tho House on Mobdny by Mr. Bipgham,
from the Committee on Reconstruction. In
these measures —the first being already
accomplished—is found tho inciting cause
of this public commotion.
stanton’s reinstatement.
The reinstatement of Mr. Stanton in the
War office was a step which required con
siderable nerve to execute ; and tho vote in
ffis favor—3G to 6—was l«*ger than avett
prominent Radicals anticipated it would be.
In view of the facts presented by Senator
Howard’s able report upon the matter, the
action of the Senate eertaiuly appears to
have been the only course compatible with
its dignity and manhood, although it has
undoubtedly forced upon Mr. Johnson the
bitterest pill he has yet swallowed. Long
before his suspension, Mr. Stanton’s position
must have been personally distasteful to him,
and he must have pocketed his private feel
ings for what appeared to him “ public
considerations” of the highest character.
While thus defending the interests of his
country he was suspended from his office,
and the Democratic press most unmercifully
pelted what appeared to be “the under dog
in the fight." The smallest reward—nay,
the simplest justice—that a nation can award
to a faithful public officer is a vindication,
through its representatives, of his course,
and returning to him that of which “.superior
force” has deprived him. A grateful nation
will undoubtedly admire the pluck and
applaud this action of the Senate of t he For
tieth Congress.
There are many wild rumors afloat ns to
Mr, Johusou’s future action, the calmest of
which assert that ho will ignore Mr. Stanton
altogether in his official position, and trans
act all business connected with the War
Department through the Army Headquar
ters; the wildest talk of the arrest «f Gen.
Grant for insubordination in relinquishing
his portfolio without an order from the
President, the Commander-in-Chief. One
thing, however, is certain, the Democrats
have dismissed all doubt as to the political
preferences of Gen. Grant.
intemperate language.
Quite a commotion occurred in the House
of Representatives on Wednesday, occasioned
by the use of some very unparliamentary
language, in debate, by Fernando Wood, one
of New York city’s unworthy representatives
in that body.
The Reconstruction bill was under consid
eration, and Mr. Wood sillowed himself to
become so ill-tempered as to make use of
the following language :
“ A bill without a titley a child without a
uame, and probably without a father; a
monstrosity ; a measure the most inlatnous
of the many infamous acts of this inlatnous
Congress.”
Mr. Bingham objected to tho last expres
sion of Mr. Wood; and the words, by order
of the Speaker, were written out by the
shorthand reporters r wn<l read by the Clerk
of the House.
After tho reading, the Speaker ruled the
words to be out of order, and said the
geutlemau could not proceed with his
speech, unless by unanimous consent.
Mr. Bingham objecting, the Speaker in
formed Mr. Wood that if he desired to ex
plain he could do so. Mr. Wood suid he had
no explanation to give.
Upon a call, by Mr. Eldridge, for the yeas
and nays as to whether Mr. Wood should he
allowed to proceed, the vote resulted—yeas,
39 ; nays, 108.
Mr. Dawes then introduced a resolution,
which was adopted, calling upon the
Speaker to censure Mr. Wood at the bar of
tbe House.
Mr. Wood was thereupon called to the
bar of the House and received a public
reprimand Irotn the Speaker, and was not
permitted to either continue his remarks or
have them printed.
Mr. Wood appeared to be in no way
ashamed of his exceedingly indecotys lan
guage, or humiliated by his reprimand.
PROJECTED KEW STEAMSHIP LINE.
In a recent letter, I incidentally men
tioned the fact that there was only one line
of steamers sailing under the American fi tg
to and from Europe and Inis country. This
condition of affairs is certainly a disgrace to
us as well a3 a great material disadvantage.
A bill has been introduced into the Senate
by Mr. Conkling, Senator from New York,
to extend aid to the “Commercial Naviga
tion Company of the State of New York,”
which propose to run a line of steamships
between N„ew York and Bremen, touching
at Southampton, It intends ,to construct
seven first-elas3 steamers, with wooden
hulls, two to be of not less than 2,000 and
five of not loss than 3,000 tons, Government
measurement, with water tight compart
ments and all the other modern improve
ments, and to have a speed of from twelve
to fourieen marine miles per hour. The
steamors are to make weekly trips, and to
be especially fitted with a view to the health
and comfort of emigrants. Mr. Conkling
proposes that the Government shall guaran
tee the company’s bonds to the amount of
$3,500,000, bearing interest at five per cent,
per annum in gold, receiving in return a
mortgage for the whole amount on the ves
sels, secured by policies of marine insur
ance. “The company are also to have a
contract for twelvo years for carrying mail
matter, receiving as compensation not a
subsidy, but simply the amount of the postage
money ; and this amount is to be retained
by tbe Government as a fund for the pay
ment of tbe interest and principal of tbe
bonds guasantced by it.’’
Tho necessity for encouraging this or
some kindred enterprise by Government aid
has long been apparent to tho merchants
and travelling public, although some of the
foroign lines are almost faultless in respect
to thsir vessels and their accommodations.
IMPORTANT LAW SPIT.
A letter from Paris published in one of
our city papers this morning, says that “an
important law suit will shortly come on
before the French Courts in which the
United States Government claims six mil
lions of dollars in Confederate money lodged
iu the hands of French ship builders, for
orders never executed. Mr. Bcrryer has been
engaged as counsel by General I)ix for tho
American Government.
Docs tbe correspondent Incan by "Confed
erate money” the paper issue of the Confed
erate Government, or gold once belonging to
that deceasod institution 7 If file former, I
certainly should advise Messieurs the French
ship builders to let our Government take
judgment by default.
A SCARE.
Two of tho lateral sewers at the corner of
Soventh and L streets, and another at the
corner of Soventh and K, exploded about
eight o’clock on Wednesday morning,
making a great noise, and frightening pretty
badly the inhabitant* and pedestrians in
tbeir vicinity. Some thought at first that a
subterranean mine had been ignited. No
,one was injured, and a little labor will
restore things to rights again. They were
cases of spontaneous explosion.

From the Atlanta Era.]
State Constitutional Convention
Atlanta, Jan. 18, 1808.
The Convention met, and was opeaed with
prayer.
The journal was read.
Mr. Richardson moved to reconsider the
motion by which the Convention went into
Committee Os the Whole on yesterday.
Mr- Prince rose to n point of order. A
motion could not be made to reconsider the
action of the House to go into Committee of
the Whole.
The President decided Mr. Richardson's
motion in order.
Mr. Richardson withdrew his motion.
Mr. Blount offered the following :
Resolved, That tbe report of the Com
mittee on privileges and Elections touching
the case of J. R. Griffin and Isaac H.
Anderson, of the Twenty-third District, be
referred to Major General Meade for his
investigation and decision.
The rules were not suspended to take up
the resolution.
The President of the Convention sub
mitted the following communication:
Headquarters Third Military Dis't, J
(Georgia, Alabama and Florida), V
Atlanta, Ga„ Jan. 17, 1868.1
Hon. J. R. Parrott, President of the Con
stitutional Convention of the State of
Georgia.
Dear Sid—l have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of a copy of a resolution
adopted the 15th instant by the Convention,
ot which you ore President, requesting me
to order the Treasurer of the State of Geor
gia to deposit in the hands of Hon. N. L.
Angier, the disbursing agent of the Conven
tion, subject to its order, funds sufficient to
pay all the expenses of the Convention.
I have this day received information from
the Treasurer tha there are no funds in the
Treasury at Milledgeville. I have also been
recently informed that some of the public
institutions ot the Slate have been suffering
on account of the non-payment of the appro
priations for their support.
Whether this failure of payment has been
on account of the want of means in the State
Treasury, or for other reasons, lam not at
present advised.
I shall use my best efforts to secure,
without delay, the means of paying the
incidental expenses ot the Convention, and
at least a portion of the per diem and' mile
age of the members.
If I find, on investigation, that any funds
which should be in the State Treasury have
been placed beyond my reach, I may deem it
necessary to suspend temporarily the pay
ment of a portion of the current salaries of
all officers who receive tbeir pay either from
the State Treasury or the State Road. You
will perceive from the facts above stated,
that it is out of my power at present to com
ply with the request of the Convention, much
as I desire to do so. In lieu of granting
this authority, I respectfully request that the
requisition of your Disbursing Agent may
be sent to me for my approval, that I may
see that such funds of the State as may
become available be properly distributed,
according to the public necessities.”
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient
servant. Geo. G. Meade,
Major General Commanding.
Mr. Waddell offered the following, for
the taking up of which the Rules were not
suspended:
Whereas, The provision made in the
Acts of Congress whereunder this Conven
tion is called, for the payment of the fees,
salary, expense and compensation of the
officers and delegates to this Convention,
only authorise this Convention to provide for
the levy and collection of such taxes on the
property of the State as may be necessary
therefor ;
And whereas, The necessities of the offi
cers and delegates to the Convention call for
the payment of their dues at an earlier dxy
than such collection of taxes can be made :
therefore be it
Resolved, That the Federal authorities
be respectfully requested to authorize such
advance of money as may be necessary to
defray the said expenses, to be made to the
disbursing officer of this Convention for the
purpose above indicated.
Mr. Whitehead, of Burke, introduced a
resolution for the appointing of a committee
of seven to repair to Millcdgeville and in
vestigate the accounts of tbe Treasurer and
Comptroller General.
The Rules were not suspended to take up
tho resolution.
Mr. Bryant moved that the report oT the
Committee on Printing lie on the table.
Carried.
The Convention went into Committee of
the Whole on the Declaration of Rights, Mr.
Conley in the chair.
Section eight was adopted with the cor
rection of a slight clerical error, and is as
follows :
Sec. 8. Perfeet freedom of religious senti
ment be, and the same is hereby secured,
and no inhabitant of this State shall ever be
molested in person or property, or prohibited
from holding any public office of trust on
account of his religious opinion ; but the
liberty of conscience, hereby secured, shall
not be so construed as to excuse acts of
licentiousness, or justify practices incon
sistent with the peace or safety of the
people.
Section nine was adopted without any
alteration, and is as follows :
Sac. 9. Freedom of speech and freedom
of the press are inherent elements of political
liberty. But while every citizen may freely
speak, or write, or print on any subject, he
shall be responsible for the abuse of the
liberty,
Section ton was taken up.
Mr., Bryant moved to strikeout the words,
“ the law and.”
Mr. Welch offered the following as a
substitute;
In prosecutions of indictments for libel,
tbe matters alleged may be given in
evidence, and tbe jury shall have the right
to determine the law find the facts under
the direction of the Court.
Mr. Stanford offered the following substi
tute :
In all criminal prosecutions the truth may,
he given in evidence, and the jury shall
have the right to judge of the law aud of the
facta.
Mr. Whitklet offered the following sub
stitute :
In all prosecutions of indictments for
libel, the truth shall be given in evidence,
and in all such cases, as well as in criminal
cases, Ihe jury shall be judges of the facts
alone.
Mr. Ashhurn offered the following as a
substitute :
In all criminal prosecutions tho truth may
bo given in evidence, and the jury shall
have the right to determine tho law and tho
facts.
Mr. Stanford's substitute was adopted.
The hour of two o'clock haviug arrived,
tho President took the chair, and adjourned

compound ; and while it is a most efficient Rem
edy for Pain, it is a perfectly safe medicine, evon
in the most unskillful bauds, for
SUMMER COMPPAINT,
or any other form of Bowel Disease in children
or adults. It is an almost certain cure, and has,
without doubt, been moro successful in curing
tho various kinds of
CHOLERA
than any other known remedy, or even the most
skillful physician. In India, Africa and Chinn,
where this dreadful disease is ever moro or less
prevalent, the
PAIN KILLER
is considered by the natives, as well as Europoan
residents in those climates,
A SURE REMEDY*.
As a Tonic for tho Stomach, it is unrivalled.
A few doses will relievo severe cases of
- INDIODOTIOH,
and it is often a perfect cure for
DYSPEPSIA
in its most aggravated farms. Its tonic and
stimulating properties, arousing the system to
vigorous action, render it a most effectual
curs for
COLDS AND COUGHS,
when used according to directions.
Forextornal application, it is unsurpassed by
any medical preparation known.
RHEUMATISM
and Neuralgio Affections are quickly relieved
and often cured by it. Any soreness in tho
Muscles or Joints can be relieved by its applica
tion. It cures instantly the most violent
TOOTHACHE.
It should always be kept near at band, to be
used iu cases of severe
BURNS OR SCALDS.
If applied immediately, according to directions,
it will give instant relief, and prevent blistering.
It is peculiarly adaDted to the wants of
SEAMEN,
and persons making sea voyages, and no vessel
should sail without a supply of it. One captain
writes us:
“I have made several voyages—often with
emigrants—and though I keep a good medicine
chest, and bare several times had a good deal of
sickness on board, I havo found the Pain Killor so
efficient in all cases as to entirely preclude tho
use of all other medicines.”
Ono positive proof of its efficacy is, that the
salos have constantly increased, and wholly
upon its own merits. Tho effect of tho Pain
Killer npon the patient, when taken internally
in eases of Colds, Cough, Bowel Complaints,
Cholera, Dysentery, and other affections of tho
system, has been truly wonderful, and has won
for it a namo among the medical preparations
that can never bo forgotten. Its succoss in re
moving Pain, as an external remedy, in eases of
Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains. Cuts, Sting of
Insects, and other causes of suffering, has se
cured for it such a host of testimouy, as an
almost infallible remedy, that it will be handed
down to posterity as one of the greatest medical
discoveries of tho nineteenth century. Tho
magical effects of tho Pain Killer, when taken
or used according to directions, uro certain.
You have only to bo sure that you buy the
genuine article and adhere to the directions in
its use, and you will admit its wonderful medi
cinal properties.
Tho genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now
put up in pannel bottles with the words Davis
Vegetable Pain Killer blown glass ; and
with two steel engraved labels on each bottle—
one an excellent likeness of Porry Davis, tho
original inventor of tho medicine, the other a
steel engraved note of hand—none others can be
relied upon as genuine.
The Pain Killer is sold by Druggists and
Grocers. PERRY DAVIS & SON,
