” £
For PRESIDENT
Os thk United States:
ULYSSES S. GRANT.
For Governor
OF GEORGIA :
How. R. B. BULLOCK
OF K.ICHIvIO3NrX).
THE COMING MAN.
A special telegram received at this office,
at 7* o'clock, last evening, brought the
welcome intelligence that “Hon. R. B.
Bullock was unanimously nominated for
Governor, by acclamation, in full Conven
tion—all the Districts fully represented—
at five o'clock to-day.'’
The news soon became public, anil The
Republican office, up to a late hour, pre
sented an animated appearance—“troops
of friends” of the Nominee being present.
Wc have not seen the man so obtuse as
to gainsay the assertion that the unanimous
nomination of Colonel Bullock is equiva
lent to his election.
THE GOOD TjIME COMING.
We are looking for it, and our faith is
■trong that we shall not look in vain. The
objects of a State are peace, justice, pro
tection of rights, security for all well-dis
posed citizens, and enduring prosperity.
We long to see Georgia restored to the
Union—the United States of America.
Nor are we in the least discomposed by
the taunts and threats of the Obstruction
ists, here and elsewhere, who are doing all
they can to prevent the consummation of
this cherished purpose. We are not ap
palled, either, at the cry of “Negro States.”
White men, if they would, could have
held all the power in every Southern State.
The obstructionists chose to. throw all the
power into the hands of the loyal whites
and the negroes. They hoped for disgrace
ful failure. They knew full well that the
framing of a Constitution is the hardest
work that a self-governing people ever
have to do, and that political inexperience
made it doubly difficult. Disgraceful
failure did not come. The loyal whites
and the negroes, into whose hands the
obstructionists had deliberately thrown
the power which white men might have
retained, have framed Constitutions to
which no decent objection has ever been
made. And now these “Conservative ”
gentlemen pray to be saved from negro
rule!
The “negro States,” so-called, will soon
be as white as any in the Union. Once
admitted, they will be found perfectly
satisfactory by the very men who now turn
black in the face while talking of them*
The “rebels” will be as anxious as any
body else to vote, to hold office, and to
share in all the blessings of order and
peace. *
What we Think, etc.
A subscriber in Dade county wishes to
know our opinion of Col. Bullock, and
whether or not the Opinion would support
him for Governor?
Our opinion, based upon a rather brief
personal acquaintance is,that Col. Bullock
is a gentleman in every relation of life, and
that, it nominated, he would combine the
strength of the party; that he would be
elected, and that he would fill that high
office with credit to the State. If nomiua
ted, we shall certainly support him. We
regard him as fully competent to the posi
tion wherein his friends seek to place him.

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Absorbing Topic Impeachment—The Presi
dent and his Enemies—The Sale pf Gold — A
Defalcation — Distinguished Arrival—Post Of
fice Appropriation—The Public Debt.
Washington, D- C., March 3, 18G8.
The subject of impeachment continues to
be the all-absorbing topic of conversation,
and, in all probability, will continue to be so
until the close of the trial. While thero wil]
be no indecent, nevertheless no unnecessary
delay in the progress of the trial is to be
permitted, and no reason is now apparent
why the trial may not be commenced by the
loth instant at the farthest.
The President’s courage of late seems to
have failed, and he secs his warmest per
gonal friends and enemies seeking his de
struction. To such an extent does this hal
lucination control his actions, that not a
single member of the Cabinet has escaped
his censure during the last week. Mr. Mc-
Culloch has, for a long time, been under a
cloud at the White House, but recently he
was openly accused of playing into the
bands of the “Impcachers.” It appears
that the Secretary of the Treasury directed
Mr. Van Dyck, in New York, to dispose of
$1 000,000 in gold, to meet certain demands
upon the Treasury Department. Mr. John
son interpreted this as a hostile act; it was
done, he said, to keep down the price of
gold—just what the impcachers wanted.
Van Dyck was sent for, and the President
than learned that the order for the sale of
the gold had been given six weeks before,
and of course it* sale had no reference what
ever to the impeachment question. Mr.
McCulloch was also called to an account for
honoring the drafts of Mr. Stanton, thereby
recognizing him as Secretary of War,
and the current rumor is, that some
pretty hard words passed. All the other
members of the Cabinet, except Mr.
Randall, are accused of lukewarmness in
regard to Mr. Johnson’s interests. This could
not be otherwise, tor they foresee the 'ur°'L
doom in the great uuity of the R«P“bhea»
members of Congress upon ,he ,üb r l ! 0
impeachment. I know there has bee"»
semi-official denial of any ••onph asantneM
in the Cabinet; but then we know also, the
same semi-official denials were made about
Mr Stanton, once on a time, which denials,
everybody now knows, were simply false
hoods. But for the impending trial, it is the
general belief here that ut least oue, if not
two, Cabinet Ministers would tender their
resignations. It would be base ingratitude,
after having tempted the President into his
present awkward position, for them to desert
him in his greatest hour of peril.
A systematic effort is being made to con
vince the country that Mr. Johnson is as
calm as ever, and does not fear the result of
the ordeal he will have to go through. There
is no truth iu these statements. In justice to
him, I will say that he does begin to feel
that he has been left alone in the hands of
the party that he has so wilfully betrayed,
and hence acts and talks as a man naturally
would thus situated, and who realizes his
own guilt. At other than public occasions,
it is the subject he seeks to talk about.
The report of a defalcation yesterday,
created a temporary sensation until the real
facts were known. The delinquent, J. C.
Clark, has for twenty years occupied a con
fidential position in Riggs A Co’s banking
house. The deficit amounts to only $40,-
000—a mere bagatelle—anil Clark has left
for pnrts unknown, his employers, it is
understood, refusing to prosecute. Com
pounding a felony seems to be no crime now
a-days.
Among the recent arrivals iu this city is
Robert Tyler, of Alabama, son of the late
ex-President Tyler, and Robert Ould, of
Richmond, formerly District Attorney in this
city. Both of these individuals served the
“lost cause ” faithfully, and came here, per
haps, to see how the land lays. They do
not much like the new turn of affairs, seeing,
as they do, beyond impeachment, the sword of
justice dangling over their own heads.
The feelinfr is so general here that the
President will be removed, that great alarm
exists among the Copperhead and ex-rebel
officeholders in the Departments. Some of
the most prominent of this class hold very
important positions but it is believed their
time is limited. It is a humiliating spec
tacle to see the widow of a Union General
and a Rebel sympathizer employed in the
same department of the government—the
first compelled to work full time, and the
latter working or letting it alone, according
to the whim of the hour.
The appropriation bill for the Post Office
Department passed the House to-day. The
principal items are—
foreign mail transportation $ 426,000
Ship, steamboat, an<t way letters S,OOO
Compensation of postmasters 4,256,000
Clerks - 2,000,000
Letter carriers 750,000

Postal route maps < 20,000
Depredations on mails..A-* 100,000
Locks and keys 30,000
Miscellaneous items 551,500
Total estimate $20,269,000
The public debt on the Ist inst. amounted
to $2,504,845,374, an increase since July
Ist, 1867, of $7,807,359. CAPITAL.

GREAT TRIUMPHS OF ANIMAL
MAGNETISM IN ATLANTA, GA.!
‘ Truth is Mighty and Must Prevail.”
Atlanta, Ga., February 12, IS6B.
I have been a hopeless invalid for the weary
space of ton or twelve years, laboring under a
combination of dreadful diseases, which have loDg
sinoe been pronounced INCURABLE. I had of
late grown rapidly worse, until three days since
I was brought to this city on a bed, being en
tirely unable to sit up, for the purpose of consult
ing the far-famed Prof. ROBERTS. After the
first treatment, which was only a few minutes, I
was freo of all pain and able to walk anywhere,
and to-day I feel so well and strong I can scarce
ly realize that I am the same being who was so
feeble and suffering so much three days since. I
can ndver express my heartfelt gratitude to tho
man whose wonderful skill has thus {relieved me,
of so much inexpressible suffering. May God
bless the Doctor wherever ho goes, is my bumble
prayer.

To whom it may concern : This will certify
that for eight months past I have boon afflicted
with Neuralgia in the right side of tho face, and
most of the time suffered most excruciating pain
during which time I have sought relief in vain
from the regular medical profession; and I fur
ther certify that I was relieved the first time I
was treated by Prof. ROBERTS, and apparently
permanently cured after being treated tho third
time. I most confidently recommend him to all
similarly afflicted. J. B. LANIER.
