National Eepabltcan AUOTrirrA. (»A. THURSDAY MORNING February 6, 1868 (OOMMVKIOATKD. "EAST OF THE OCONEE." The raider* of the Constitutionalist of 1862, will remember bow the exploit* of the Commander of the Third Georgia Reg iment were heralded to the oountry, and the survivor* of that regiment know full well the reason why he received each prominence, to-wit: the lender of that corps was so tyranoicnl towards hi* subor dinates, they hoped, by bringing him into notice through the newspapers, to get rid of him by hi* promotion. Tho plan suc ceeded, and a gallant man was placed in command, at whose death the regiment passed into the charge of a much-beloved offioer. Things then went along smoothly for awhile, alter our hero was made a Briga dier-General. But his vaulting ambition was not yet satiated—lie craved a Major- General's place in the army and tho Gu bernational seat at home. Paitially suc ceeding, he returns to Georgia and pro claims himself "Governor, East of the Oconee"! During his very "brief author ity" he ruled with despotic rod, until Gov. Brown annulled bis illegal ordcis, and chaos tor awhile ceased to exist. The war ended. It was by some supposed that our hero would now subside. But no, regardless of his oath of allegiance, he unites with another disturber in a disloyal attempt to plunge our city and State in an other tumult. This is the identical man who essayed to throw ridicule on the Statesman of Craw fordyille—that far seeing patriot, whose voice was for peace, and whose words of admoni tion have proved prophetic—the honored Stephens who has manfully accepted the situation, and who, standing ns a watchman on the tower, tells us of better days to come. People of Georgia, heed his words aud all will be well. Let not wild, rattle-brain fa natics lead yon from the beaten path of duty to your State—let not her fair escutcheon be tarnished by disloyal bands. .My word for it, if our people will return lo t cork, letting political broils and demagogues alone, the State will be satisfied when the Constitution is submitted for ratiGcation. I again caution right-minded men to give no heed to disappointed politicians, and not to pin their faith to the rants of disloyal scribblers—retailers of fish woman slang and vituperation, interlarded with misquota tions from the Golden Rule. This slam-bang method of editorial gta diatorahip is about “played out” in this city. The Ex-“ Governor East of the Oconee” can not now (as at Norfolk) appear as prosecu tor, [attorney, and witness, against the man toward whom malice is rankling in his heart. Fa lit Play. From the Atlanta Opinion]. State Constitutional Convention Tuesday, Feb. 4, 1868. Convention met at regular hour. Prayer by the Chaplain. Journal read and ap proved. On motion, leave of absence was granted to Messrs. Daley, Powell, Stewart, Ed wards. and Davis. The President laid before the Conven tion the following communication from Maj. Gen. Meade : Headq’ks Third Military District, 1 (Dep’t Georgia. Florida, and Alabama). k Office Ass't Adj. Gen. ) Atlakta, Ga,, Feb. 3, 1868. Hon. J. if. Parrott, President Constitu tional Convention . Atlanta, Ga. : Sir : A careful survey of the condition ot the State Treasury and of the probable incoming revenue and demands upon the State, justify me in reporting to yon that I shall be able by the Jsth of March prox imo, to pay to the disbursing agent of the Convention the sum of s3o,ooo—one half of which will be available on or about the 10th instant. As this sum completes the amount of the requisition approved by my predecessor and myself, I take this occa sion to say that after carefnlly examining the financial condition of the State, as left' by the out-going provisional and executive officer, together with the demands to be met under the heads of the civil lists and public institutions, that I cannot, feci my self authorized to sanction any greater advance from the State Treasury to the Convention than is herein indicated, and that I must request the cooperation of the Convention in conforming to this decision. In coming to this decision, which is based on providing for the immediate and impera tive wants of the Convention from the usual sources of revenue, by the collection of axes and net proceeds of the State Hoad, I feel compelled to decline approving or undertaking any financial scheme involving the credit of the State, or anticipating future revenue. Very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t, Geo. G. Meade, Major General U. S. A. The unfinished business of yesterday was resumed, and Mr. Bigby continued his re marks. At the expiration of twenty min utes, he was informed by the President }iro tem Mr. Corley—that the time allowed under the rules for his first speech was exhausted. Mr. Akehman raised a point of order, stating that a motion was made by himself yesterday to extend the time for Mr. Bigby’s speech. The point was sustained by the Convention, and Mr. B. concluded his re marks. Mr. Blodgett offered the following as an amendment to the substitute of Mr. Bul lock: Sec. —. All contracts made and not exe cuted during the late rebellion with the intentiou and for the purpose of aiding and encouraging said rebellion, or when it was the purpose and intention of one ol the par ties to such contract to aid or encourage such rebellion, and that tact was known to the other party, whether said contract was made by any person or corporation with the State or Confederate States, or by a corporation with a natural person, or between two or more natural persons, nre hereby declared to have been and to be illegal, and all bonds, deeds, promissory notes, bills, or othor evi dences of debt, made or executed by the parties to such contract, or cither ot them, in connection with such illegal contract, or as the consideration tor, or in furtherance thereof, are hereby declared null and void, and shall be so held in ail courts in this State, when an attempt shall be made to en force any such contract, or give validity to any such obligation or evidence of debt. And, in all cases when the defendant or any one interested in the event of the suit, will make a plea that he has reason to bo liove that tne obligation or evidence of indebtedness upon tho suit is predi oated, or some part thereof, has been given or used for the illegal purpose aforesaid, the burden of proof shall be upon the plaintiff to satisfy the court and jury that the bonds, deeds, note, bill or other evi dence or evidences of indebtedness upon which said suit is brought, is or are not, nor is any part thereof, founded upon, or in any way connected with any such illegal contract, and has not been used in aid of the rebellion ; and tho date of such bond, deed, note, hill, or other evidences of in debtedness shall not be ovidenco that it has or has not, since its date, been issued, transferred, or used in aid of tho rebellion. Mr. Bullock, accepted tho amendment of his colleague, which made it a portion of tho substitute. Mr. Blodgett supported his amend ment, and relief generally, and was fol lowed by Mr. Ashhnrn to the same effeol. Mr. Crano opposed relief, and Mr. MoCay favored it. Mr. Blodgett moved tho previous question, which motiou was sustained. Upon tho question, *• shall tho main question be now put,” the yeas and nays were called, and resulted, yeas 56; nays 65. So tho question was lost, when Mr. Akerman proceeded to address the com mittee in opposition to relief. Mr. Seeley offered tho following amend nient, to come in as tho 7th exception of the substitute of Mr. Bryant, Provided, That jurisdiction over debts fer the purchase or hire of slaves, or over debts the credit of which was based on slaves as property, shall not he conferred on any Court in this State. Mr. Blodgett offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the debate on the question of Relief bo closed to-raorrow at 11 o’clock. Mr. Turner offered the following resolu tion : Resolved, That the several gentlemen proposing substitutes and amendments to the report of tho Committee on Relief, be constituted a committee, and that they be allowed two days to report ; and that the Convention proceed in the meantime with its other business. Mr. Parrott moved that, tho Chair ap point a select committee ot five, to whom should be referred all the propositions pend ing connected with relief, and that the committee be instructed to report to morrow morning. After remarks from Mr. Harris, Chair man of the Committee on Relief, Mr. Par rott withdrew his motion, and the question recurred upon the resolution of Mr. Blod gett, which was adopted. On motion leave of absence was granted to Messrs. Whitehead, of Butts, and Rich ardson, when the Convention adjourned. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL NOMI NA TING CONVENTION. The undersigned, constituting the National Committee designated by the Convention held at Baltimore on the 7th of June, 18(54, do appoint that a National Convention of the Union Republican party be held at the city of Chicago, 111., on Wednesday, the 20th day of May next, at 12 o’clock tn., for the purpose of nominating candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States. Each State in the United States is authorized to be represented in said Convention by the number of delegates equal to twice the number of Senators and Repre sentatives to which each State is entitled in the National Congress. We invite the cooperation of all citizens who rejoice that our great civil war has happily terminated in the discomfiture of the rebellion; who would hold fast the unity and integrity of the Republic, and maintain its paramount right to defend to tho utmost its own existence, whether im periled by secret conspiracy or armed force ; of all friends of an economical ad ministration of the public expenditure, of the complete extirpation of the principles and policy of s'avery, and of the speedy reorganization of those States whose Gov ernments were destroyed by tbe Rebellion, and their permanent restoration to their proper practical relations with the United States in accordance with the true princi ples of republican government. Marcus L. Ward, of New Jersey, Chairman. John D. Defiiees, of Indiana, Secretary. Washington, Dec. 11, 1867. td —A youngster, who wag taken into a toy bazaar the other day by his doting mamma, had a number of articles exhib ited by the attentive clerks, in the hope oi enlisting his attention and effecting a sale, but without effect. At last one of tho papier-mache representations of a mouse was produced, and, after being wound up by a key, tvas set down upon tbe floor, where it ran about in tho most mouse-like manner imaginable. The youngster's at tention was enlisted at once; but tiie result was not ns his mother or the salesman expected, for lie shouted out,“Oh, mamma, I don’t want that; we've got lots of them at home, and don’t have to wind ’em up either.’’ The Fenian alarms continue to diminish in London. The committee of the Metro politan Working Men’s Conservative Asso ciation had determined to abandon tbe anti- Fenian demonstration which it was in con templation to hold in the metropolis. The Daily Neus remarks that though the loyal Irishmen in London may feel a little reluc tance to volunteer the assurance that though they are Irishmen they are no sympathisers with wholesale assassination, there are many important reasons why they should not allow these scruples lo prevent them signing the address to her Majesty. The Morning Advertiser believes that Fenianism is pow evidently dying out in London, so far, at least, as its external or practical manifesta tions are concerned. During a performance at the Royal Al bert Theatre, Middleborough, England, on New Year’s day, the bags connected with the lime light, preparing for a great trans formation scene, suddenly burst with a terrific report, injuring several persons on and about the stage, and causing a terriblo patiic among the spectators, who were mostly children. No lives were lost, how ever. Some one has written three short and pithy sentences to the London Times, that have an application to other cities also, as follows: “There are thousands of hungry men out if employ at the East end. There are miles of infamously filthy streets and pathways at the West end. Arc there no means of bringing the two points to gether ?” —At the Superior Court in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Friday, Edward Power Allen, of Stratford, a minor, was allowed to change his name to that of Edward Allen lowers. The youth is to receive, on attain ing his majority, the sum of $50,000, on condition of this change of name, from lh« estate ot Edward E. Powers, deceased, late of Columbus, Oa. —A proposition has been made to the Common Council of Petersburg, Virginia, to light the streets of that oily with kero sene, instead of gas, which, it is said, will effect a saving of two thousand dollars in the city expenses. —The Bank of England willingly gives “good money” for all silver which has been worn smooth by fair wear and tear. If, however, the coins bear the slightest sign ot ill-usage, such as a dent or a scratch, it declines to change them. SCISSORS. The receipts of the Atlantic Cable, it is said, are now upwards of £1,200 a day. Montana red is now the fashionable color in Paris. A New York street beggar is taxed on $65,000 worth of real estate. A quarrel between counsel in a Memphis court resulted in one man being shot dead, then and there. Ohio proposes, alter a trial of usury laws, to go back to its tormer system of free trade in money. D rinco Albert Victor, son of the Prince of Wales, and future King of England, has just celebrated his fourth birthday. A Roman medal of the reign of Trajan has been found by an Indian near Macki naw, Michigan, bnt it is not inferred that the Roman army ever quartered in that State. No young man in tho Cyclades, where the principal business is diving for sponges, is allowed to marry until he can descend easily to a depth of twenty fathoms. One large dry goods house in New York discharged all the single men in its employ on the Ist instant, and reduced the salaries of the remainder. Lord Mayo, who is said to be decidedly nltra-montano in his proclivities, is promi nently mentioned ns the successor of Lord Manck as Governor General of Canada. The Rev. Ncwnan Hall, in an address de livered in tho tabernacle of the Rev. Mr. Sturgeon, urged Lord Stanley to bring the Alabama claims to a speedy settlement. It is stated on the authority of the London Court Journal that the Fenian convulsion has cured a great many officers, civil and military, of the gout. Some French chemists have just discov ered a way of increasing the lightning power of gas sixty fold, viz., by putting in the flame a small cylinder of magnesia. James H. L. Smith and Thomas Hayten, the one a burglar and the othey a cotton thief, escaped from the Penitentiary at Columbia, on Wednesday night. White gunpowder is now manufactured in France, which leaves no trace in the guti. It is highly spoken of in French military circles. The last dandy fashion in Paris is to carry a walking stick with a sword inside at one end, and matches and a candlestick in the other. Mrs. Augustus Weld, of Louisville, was injured, probably fatally, ou Tuesday, by the explosion of some kerosene wherewith she was filling a lamp. Brigham Yourfg has pronounced an edict against tea and coffee. The prohi bition is universal, so far as the Mormons are concerned. At Dresden, in what are known as the Green Vaults, among the curiosities are a necklace of diamonds, valued at $750,000, and a single green diamond, worth half a million more. The Massachusetts State Republican Convention for the choice of delegates to the Presidential Convention at Chicago will be held at Worchester, Thursday, March 12. From the fact that the French govern ment is buying teak in England it is inferred that it is the intention to build new iron clads this year. Teak is some times used as backing for the armor plates. A court in England has given a decision against the legality of locking railway passengers into tile cars, a custom which universally prevails in that country, al though it has been the occasion of many accidents. Dr. Wooster Beach, who died in New York on Tuesday, was for forty-five years an earnest opponent of the severe reme dies practiced by the allopathic school, and was the author of some ten medical works. Elmira, New York, has an opera house that will seat 2,500 persous, hut has no savings banks Providence has a sufficient number of savings banks, hut wants a de cent opera house. The Rev. James Gibbons, of the Balti more Cathedral, we perceive it stated, lias been confirmed by His Holiness, and will soon be consecrated aud placed in oliarge of the bishopric of NortlrCurolina. The Republicans of Chicago favor a wigwam, to ho erected for the National Convention next May. Liberal contribu tions can he lmd to secure the wigwam, and it will bring tbe whole Northwest to Chicago during the Convention. An Ohio gentleman had a dream six months ago, in which the day of his death was predicted to him. On tho day inti mated, lie took out an insurance policy for S3OOO, got on a railroad train and wag burned to death at Angola. Available land is becoming so scarce in Kansas that the legislature asks Congress not to allow any one person to purchase a large tract, and to compel the railroad companies to whom grants have been made, to put them into the market. Intelligence has been received from Rome that General Faily, commander of the French expediency corps, is about to return to France with one division t f troops. The remainder of the forces will remain in Rome, under command of Gen. Dumont. Suez Ims a model post office. On the arrival of mails from England and India, the rush for letters is said to be iudeseriba ble. Each one helps himself to whatever letter or letters he can lay hands upon. In the scramble many letters are torn to shreds. Whipping is extensively practiced in the Tennessee Penitentiary. During the past six months no less than five hundred and twenty-five punishments by flogging have been administered, some of which were seventy-five lashes. Two of the largest cotton manufacturers in France have closed their mills, in which 0,000 persons were employed, because they can not compete with England. Govern ment is to be asked to impose a duty on cotton goods for the protection of manufac turers. A chaplain in Arkansas says that u man buying furs was conversing with a woman, at whose house ho called, and asked her if there wore any Presbyterians around there. She hesitated a moment, and said she guessed not—"her husband hadn't killed any since they’d lived there.” A Paris letter says the belief in an early war continued as strong as ever in France. The people will have it that France and Prussia are arming, and that in spite of friendly telegrams between the Tuilleries and Berlin, the maintenance of peace be tween the two countries is at the mercy of the merest trifle that may arise. Mr. Plows, a liquor dealer in Chicago, sold somo hundreds of gallous of wuior for whiskey, the other day. Being sailed to uccofint, lie claims the operation was a large joke ;'tbat be supposed the individual making the purchase was a detective, endeavoring to entrap him, and took that method to spoil his little gamo. "Which are the uttermost parts of tho earth ?” asked a school teacher of otto of his hoys. "Tho parts of tho earth where there are tho most women,” answered tho head of tho class. “Wlmt do you mean by that Brown ?" asked the teacher. "I mean," was tho roply, "that where there uro tho must women, there is the most uttered." PUNE&AL NOTICES. fgr The friendt and acquaintances of Mr. and Mr*. W. F. Caraosgb and J. J.
