National Republican V O A- ■ THURSDAY MOKNINO...IiIwry C*» l**S [COMMUNICATED. A game that two can play at. Mb. Editor : It is a fact no longer to be disguised, that in this city the proeerip tire spirit of •* Partyism" ia prevailing to a greater extent than ever before. It baa onterod business ciroloa—and many of our tradesmen are rendering themselves con spicuous, not merely in opposing Recon struction. themselves, but in abusing those who conscientiously cutertain the belie! that our only hope for pence and prosper ity ia in the speedy restoration ot our State to the Federal Union. Beyond doubt, these business men al luded to—dealers in dry-goods, provisions, and other merchandise—are willing to sell their articles to everybody, without dis tinction oi color or political proclivities ; they are, probably, as fond of securing greenbacks as other people—yea, as the much despised ••Yankees" they curse so vehemently, in season and out of season. But the point 1 make is this : these politi cal merchants have introduced a game at which two can play—and I sincerely hope, with* the view of bringing these Obstruc tionists to their senses, that the game will be played out. My suggestion to the friends of Reconstruction is, let these tradesmen alone. By their actions they plainly tell you that they wish to have no political nor social intercourse with “scala wags/’ as they are pleased to term you (behind your back, generally ); and they seem to be entertaining the idea that there is no fear of their losing your patronage. Now, I propose to touch their pocket nerve. A large amount of money is expended every week in Augusta by the despised “scalawags,” for something to eat, to say naught of other items. Let “clubs” be formed among this proscribed class of our residents, select proper managers, and send abroad our money for such articles as we may need. Os course, in a uewspaper article, I can not go into detail, showing how this can be managed —but presumo all will admit that such a club could supply its members with the best kinds of necessaries at far less prices than are now paid by them to those “among us” who are not “of us.” ( I merely desire, in this paper, to throw out the suggestion to our friends, as a means of self-defence. Let a salutary lesson be taught these disorganizers, and the opinion is hazarded that we shall soon experience a different state of things in this community. Mechanic, Remarks. —We give place to the commu nication of “Mechanic” (a citizen who is folly identified with and interested in the. welfare of our city and country), not to en dorse entirely his suggestion, but rather, as faithful historians, to record the fact to which he alludes—the bitter partisanship existing here to-day—more intense, by far, than in the memorable year of 1861. We indulge the hope, however, that the ‘ good time coming” is not far in the future, when, re constructed and restored to her place in the Union, our loved old State will ouce again have a voice in the councils of the nation, despite the treasonable efforts of these restive spirits who had “rather reign in hell than serve in heaven.” When that auspi cious era dawns, where, oh where, will these arch-demagogues and blood-thirsty patriots appear ? Hardbe on Meade. —General Hardee (C. S. A.) attended a bar meeting at Selma, Ala., a few days ago, and made a neat speech, in which he referred to his old classmate, General Meade, as follows : I know him well. He is emphatically a soldier and a gentleman —a man of ability, honor, and integrity. He has come among us, under orders, to execute the laws of Congress, which I know he will do, with out fear, favor, or affection. But I venture to say that, in the execution of these laws, there" will be as much of kindness and generosity extended to the people ot this listrict as the nature of his duties will permit. I feel assured that he is free front partisanship and front personal and sec tional prejudice, and that in the discharge of his high office, he will, uninfluenced by other than professional and patriotic mo tives, look to tlie good of the entire country. In an official report to his military supe rior. Gen. Jeff. C. Davis, who commands in Russian America, declares that the harbor of New Archangel is, ou the whole, a very good one, though not deep enough for large vessels at low water. The quantity of rain, snow, and sleet that falls there exceeds all experienced elsewhere, and the amount of work that can be accomplished there in a day is probably less than at any other place in all North America. Decidedly, this new territory will not prove very attractive to emigrants, even if its store of gold is as large as has been imagined. The cable flashes across the Atlantic in reference to Fenian movements are fre quently as mysterious as the Fenians them selves. A dispatch recently stated that those wild men, the Fenians, had blown up one of the gates of the city of Cork, thereby leading us to suppose that Cork is a walled and a fortified city. That beautiful city by the river Dee has neither fort, wall, fate, nor bastion, as things offensive or efensive. It is the cable that has been blowing, rot the Fenians. A fervent church member recently as tonished a prayer meeting by supplicating for the preservation of the lives of the young ladies of the congregation, and that one of them might be eventually reserved for him. On being remonstrated with by one of his brethren, he said such was the honest wish of his heart, and that he did not see the impropriety of praying for it. My lad, said a traveller to a little fellow whom he met, clothed in panls and smail jacket, but without a very necessary article of apparel, “my lad, where is your shirt ?” “Mammy’s washing it.” “Have you no other 7” “No other 1” exclaimed the urchin in sur prise, “would you want a boy to have a thou sand shirts ?” The low rates of interest in London arc in strange contrast with the profits of London banking institutions. The London and West minster Bank has declared a dividend for ttye last six months of 1867 of 16 per cent.; making 30 per cent, for the year. Tho Union Bank will declare 16 percent. Tho National Discount Company will soon de clare 16 per cent, per annum. (From tha Atlanta No* Er». State Constl tutionnl Convention Atlanta, Feb. 11. The Convention met. Preyer by the Chaplain. The journal was read. Mr. Martin, of Habersham, moved the reconsideration ot the action of the Conven tion on the resolution to reduce the per diem of members alter the 20th inst. The motion did not prevail. On motion, the rules were suspended, and Mr. Turner introduced the following : Resolved, That the Secretary of this Con vention be authorized to have the able and eloquent speech of the Hon. Mr. Arerman, delivered in the Hall of the Georgia Consti tutional Convention, on the subject of negro suffrage, published in the official organs of this Convention, and ten copies be furnished each member ft r their constituents. On motion of Mr. Trammel, the resolution was nmended by including the speech of Hon. Mr. Waddell, on the same subject. On motion of Mr. Conley, the whole sub ject was laid on the table. The Convention took up the'Special order, the same being the consideration of the charges against A. A. Bradley, member of the Convention. l'he reports of the majority and minority on the case were read. Mr. Whitsley asked leave to amend the report of the majority by striking out that portion which expressed the conviction that Mr. Bradley, on the floor of the Convention, wa3 the identioal Bradley that had been sen tenced to the Penitentiary in New York for the crime of seduction, as the Committee, on further reflection, were not absolutely certain that the two persons referred to were identi cal. The Chair decided that the report could not be amended. Mr. Akerman addressed the Convention in a few written remarks, which he said he had committed to writing, to prevent mis representation, in which he maintained that if tho Committee reported that Mr. Bradley was certainly the matt referred to in the testimony from New York, furnished the Committee, and Mr. Bradley had do tiled the fact, it rendered the charge against hint more serious, as he had denied it; but as the Committee desired to alter their report in this respect, he would move that the matter be recommitted to them. Mr. Turner read an address in defense of Mr. Bradley. After considerable discussion, Mr. Aker man amended his motion to recommit by requiring the Committee to report on or before Friday next. Mr. Akerman'S motion was carried by a vote of yeas 64, nays 52. On motion of Mr. Trammel, Mr. Aker man was added to the Committee on the charge against A. A. Bradley. The Convention then adjourned. “ correspondence:’ 11. M. WILKINS TO lIIS PA. Brighton Academy, Jan. 31, 1868. Dear Pop : I am getting along first rate at tbo school, and I like it very much, all except Whacks, the assistant—“ Old Bees wax,” we call him, and wo are dowu on him like a pile-driver, all us boys, for he’s ignorant. Why, he's so ignorant he don’t know a blackboard from a dark night, no, he don't and Bill Ferguson, he put a tor pedo under each leg of old Beesey’s chair yesterday, and when he sat dow t (you see he sits down like he had ballast tit him), why the torpedoes they exploded, and like to blow him through tho roof. Golly, but wasn't he scared ! He looked at the alma nac to make sure- it wasn't the 4th of July, and then he came down, looking mad. and licked Bill like blazes. But Bill said he didn’t care a ceut, and the next time he would sprinkle gunpowder in his hair, and bust his old front piece off of him. ’Dr. Goggles, he's a nice old fellow, only ho will sit and chew gum-drops right be fore us boys, and never say “take some” once. He wears green specks, and Bill Fergu - son, he called him, “ old four eyes ” one day, which the doctor, ho heard Bill say it, and he nailed him and dragged him up to the desk, and then he gave us a lecture, and said there was once a boy he knew, and he was about Bill’s size, who insulted a gray headed oi l man, and called him wicked names, and the next day—the very next morning—that boy's mother died of inflamatory rheumatism, and his sister broke out with humors. Bill, he cried, while the doctor held hint by the shirt collar, but he winked at ‘the boys as he cauie away, and wrote on a piece of paper, and threw it over to me, that he thought th3 doctor was “a blower,” and he daresent hit a boy of his size I want some new books very much, about ten of them, and they will cost eight dol lars. Don’t send the books, for the doctor likes us to buy them here. I don’t want any money for taffey or marbles, for I don’t care about them ; but be sure not to send anything but the money for the books. lam in good health. I was taken sick last week, and had a sore eye for a few days, but it is now well. We was a pi tying mumbly-peg out on the grass, and Bill Ferguson he grabbed my knife. I told him he had better give that knife up or I would tell you, and get you to lick him when you come down, and he said ho could lick you and a dozen like you, and then he dared me to knock a chip off his shoulder. And Jake McGinnis, he pushed me against him, and that knocked the chip off, and Bill, he struck ine over the nose three or four times, and said he’d “bust me on the snoot” if I didn’t dry up, for I couldn’t help crying, and 1 was taken sick, and I couldn't go to school all day. And the doctor, he locked Bill up in the garret, but ho didn’t care, for he dumb out on4bc roof and wa< a chasing around after tom-cats, up and down almost every morn ing, and pulling plaster out of the chimney to throw at people in the street. Give my love to all at home, and don’t forget the money for tho books. Bill is about fourteen, do you think he can lick you? Please send the money, and believe mo your affectionate son. H. M. Wilkins. P. S—Don’t forget to send the money for those books. A strong pressure is being brought to bear on the National Democratic Commit tee in favor of bolding the Presidential Convehtion in New York. August Belmont says the Western Democrats, who have been in correspondence with him on the subject, arc in tavor ot Cincinnati or Louis ville, but that if New York insists upon it they will offer no opposition. A gentleman who went up from New York to Connecticut, one day last week, in a train full of Democratic delegates, re marked, when the conductor took his ticket, that ho thought his ticket was first class. The conductor told him„ he was right, when ho rejoined, “Well, cither 1 am in a second class car, or else there's going to boa Democratic Convention.” A resolution is before tho Common Coun cil of Buffalo to require ths vurious railway companies, whoso lines run through that city, to place and maintain a gate on each side of the railroad track where it crosses a street, to be kept closed not moro than live minutes itt u time, except when trnins arc passing. GENERAL ITEMS. A. T. Stewart baa donated SIO,OOO to the Bethany Mission of Philadelphia. Charles Dickens will be filly-six years old next Friday. William B. Astor’s real estate is said to increase about two million dollars a year by the natural advance. The Tallatyssee Sentinel says that half grown peaches, English peas and tomatoes, are plentiful around that city. The project of cheap readings for the people, accompanied by the music, is meet ing with much success in New York. The exports of spocio from New York for the week ending February Ist, were one hundred and thirty thousand dollars, the smallest in several years. Mayor Hoffman's friends say that he has no aspirations for the Vice Presidency, They have fixed upon him as candidate for next Governor. The highest salary paid any female school teacher iu the United States is $2,000, and $1,600 is the average pay for female princi pals in the New York public schools. The capital invested in twenty six large breweries in the sixteenth collection dis trict in New York city, exceeds two million dollars. John Cooper, of Portland, Me., has com menced a suit for $40,000, at Philadelphia, which he alleges that he drew in the River side Institute Lottery. It is stated, upon authority of those who have heard, that a cat, when her tail is pinched between a door, utters the vow-els a, e, i, o, u, with great distinctness. If the injury is prolonged, she gives w and y also. A bookseller, of Wellsville, Alleghany county, while recently overhauling his stock, found a neatly made mouse nest composed of about S3O worth of bank bills and postage currency. Tlie Fenian Brotherhood of Boston and vicinity have voted, instead of parading St. Patrick’s day, to work each at his business, and have the day’s proceeds collected and used for suffering friends in Irelaud. It ia estimated that the Catholic popula tion in this country has increased about two millions since 1860. In 1860, there were only 16,000 Catholics in Connecticut and Rhode Island, while at the present time there are 125.000. A schoolmistress in Lyndon, Yt.. was compelled to punish an unruly boy, and after continuing the discipline a reasonable length of time without success, she sent for the mother. The mother finding that just ice required more stripes, bid the teacher “put it on,” and she did till the boy knelt and confessed his wrong. A good teacher and a good mother.
