SQUIRMING.
The great dread ot the Obstructionists
is, Reconstruction upon a loyal, enduring
basis. They call it domination of the
coloredjpeoplc and “ scalawag ” loyalists.
They seem to be awfully troubled about
the friends of the Union taking charge of
public affairs, and thus depriving them of
all power to do any* more mischief. The
•‘‘horrid rule of barbarian negroes,” means
Rebel exclusion from places of honor,
profit and trust. It means that they are
opposed to equal political rights to all
men. It means that this is a “white’s man
government,” and the negroes have no
rights a Rebel need respect. It means
opposition to Reconstruction upon the
Congressional plan. They are squirming.
Impe<ichment Trials.
Since the adoption of the Constitution
there have been five trials ol impeachment
by the Senate. The first of these was *hat
of William Blount, a Senator from Ten
nessee. It commenced December 17th,
1798, and was concluded January 14, 1799.
The next was the trial of John Pickering,
Judge of the New Hampshire District,
which lasted from March 3d to March 12th,
1803. The third was that of Samuel
Chase, one of the Associate Judges of the
Supreme Court of the United States, which
was commenced November 30th, 1804, and
lasted until March Ist, 1805. The fourth
was the trial of James 11. Peck, Judge of
the Missouri District, which was prolonged
through two sessions, viz : from May 11th
to Slay 25th, 1830, and from December
30th, of the same year, to January 31st
1831. The last trial by the Senate was on,
the impeachment of Judge Humphreys, of
the Tennessee District, about the year 1863,
we think ; but the record is not before us.
Query.
We would like to repeat the pertinent
inquiry ot the New York Times —not intru
sively, but merely for information—what has
become of all the enthusiastic friends of the
South who, in the political excitements of
eight and ten years ago, used to fill the great
halls of that city with crowds on every occa
sion 7 On Monday night a meeting was called
at Cooper Union for the purpose of raising
funds to aid in more firmly reestablishing
Washington College, Lexingtou, Virgiuia,
of which Robert E. Lee is President, and
of generally aidin'; the cause of higher edu
cation in the South. The call was signed
by prominent citizens of all shades of "politics
and profession, and indorsed by all the jour
nals, and yet the hall was not half full, and
hardly one of the signers of the call was
there except Mr. Beecher, who, merely
expecting to speak, had unexpectedly almost
the whole burden of the meeting thrown
upon his shoulders. Where are the “South
ern sympathizers” ? *
An Honest Democrat.
Brick Pomeroy, editor of the La Crosse
Democrat, is probably the most honest
Democrat in the United States. Next to
him come the conductors of the New York
Day Book. “ Brick ” does not miiice mat
ters at all, hut comes out “Hat-footed,” and
in plain words exhibits himself m his own
colors. He uses no circumlocution, but be
ing an enemy of a legal policy, says it in so
many words. He docs not, like many of his
brethren, say lair smooth words, and at the
same time mean the opposite. “ Brick ”is
so honest, that he recently advertised
for a Confederate flag to -hang in his
sanctum; ho wanted to show his colors,
though the “lost cause” is j oßt indeed, dead
beyond the hope of a resurrection, dead as
Marley. This did not exactly take with his
Northern friends, for the editor of the
Petersburg Index, in the following words
administers a slinging rebuke : “We doubt
the propriety of sending a flag to a man who
didn't go to it. We haven’t much respect
for -this after-the-battle fervor.” This will
not penetrate Brick at all or touch his sen
sibilities. His epidermis is rhinoceroseiean
and his moral principles extremely gritty.
Nevertheless, the editor of the La Crosse
Democrat is a specimen brick in the demo
cratic edifice, a very hard burnt one among
the many which are soft.
Grounds for Apprehension.
There may be—indeed we fear that there
will be—many good men and true, who
* * * .may vote for the ratification of
the Constitution, so-called, framed by the
.Atlanta Jacobins.— Chronicle & Sentinel.
We shouldn't wonder—a good many of
'them will, ts they live.
L • [COMMUNICATE!*.
“GRAND MARCH OF IDEAS.’'
The Chronicle dc Sentinel is not pleased
at the nomination, by the Republicans, of
Colonel Bullock, for Governor o( Georgia—
because, it allege*, the Colonel is deficient
in “intelligence, moral worth, social position,
and some familiarity with public affairs,”
and further, because his “knowledge of law
aud the principles of jurisprudence ero not
[in the Chronicle's opinion] sufficient to
make him a respectable Justice of the
Peaca”—who has “no talent for business,”
etc.
It is frankly admitted by the friends of our
nominee that he is not a lawyer by profes
sion, nor are they aware that tho Constitu
tion of Georgia declares that none but
lawyers are eligible to the Gubernational
chair —either at tho capital or “East of tho
Oconee.”
The "intelligence” of Colonel Bullock, we
opine, was clearly manifested in the recent
passage-at arms with the lawyer editor of the
Chronicle, in the “Petition” affair.
“Moral worth” 7 It seems to us that ordi
nary prudence would close the mouth and
stop the slanderous pen of tho editorial
Obstructionist scribbler upon moral poiuts.
But, he may be assured in advance, that if
this kind of “argument” is to characterize
the coming campaign, the friends ol Colonel
Bullock (distasteful as the task may be) will
feel impelled to investigate thoroughly the
moral status of “respectable” scribblers
who may indulge in the congenial employ
ment of throwing dirt at a gentleman in
every way their superior.
Verb. sap. sat. Oconee.
“ While Man’s Party.”
We hear much said now-a-days, about
the “ white man's party.” Not a word
about the other sex. As it should be. The
highly “respectable” Conservative organ
of the Democrats “east of the Oconee ” de
clares that the people “wait with ill-con
ceived impatience to see what policy the
white man’s party will adopt.” No one in
this locality need be informed of the
“policy ” of some of the bright and shin
ing lights of modem Democracy—those
constituting the black woman’s partye.
They do not all whip women to death.
President Johnson and General Grant.
“And he (David) wrote in the letter,
‘Set yc Uriah in thetorefrontoftlie hottest
battle, and retire ye front him, that he may
be smitten and die.’ ”
“He digged a pit, and he digged it deep,
In hopes far to catch bis brother;
But by his own sin he did fell in
The pit he had digged for t’other.”
—Sternhold Hopkins.
The above quotations illustrate clearly
the position of President Johnson. First,
his attempt to put General Grant wrong
before the country in resisting a law ; and,
second, how he (Johnson) fell into his own
trap from the true, honest, sagacious in
stincts of General Grant, who saw the
snare prepared for him.
Need Watching-
The people ol the State are now anxiously
turning their eyes to the Democratic party.
Chronicle and Sentinel.
Yes, sir, and the people are going to keep
their eyes on the so-called Democratic party
—“ till you can’t rest.”
IMMENSE "MASS MEETING.
Enthusiastic Ratification of Col. Bullock
for Governor.
An immense mass meeting was held on
Saturday evening last, for the purpose of
having an expression of opinion as to the
nomination of Col. Bullock to the office of
Governor. The speeches were of great
importance, but so lengthy thtft we- find it
impossible to accommodate them in this
morning’s issue. Suffice it, for the present,
to say that the utmost enthusiasm was
manifested on every occasion when the
Colonel’s name was mentioned. Prominent
on the list of his supporters, we must place
Governor Brown and General McCay, who
delivered most able addresses advocating
his claims to the confidence of the people,
and eloquently appealing to the Union
Republicans of Georgia to rally around the
man who, in the Chief Executive chair,
will do credit to himself and honor to the
State.
We have full verbatim reports of all the
speeches, and shall present them in our issue
of to-morrow morning. They will well repay
perusal. We predict an accession of many
thousand votes to the cause of our gallant
friend Bullock, from a general perusal of the
addresses of Gov. Brown and Gen. McCay.—
Atlanta Era.
A Huge Meeting.
Another ratification meeting was held in
the Convention Hall Inst night. Colonel
Edwards, of Taylor, addressed the large
crowd present in one of his stirring, charac
teristic speeches, and was followed by Judge
Dunning, in an earnest, logical, progressive
address, vividly portrayiug the wonderful
unavailed-of resources of Georgia. The
military band interspersed the proceedings
with fine renditions of Hail Columbia, Reth,
White and Blue, Dixie, Yankee Doodle, etc.
Thus the Reconstruction ball rolls on, gath
ering adherents at every revolution. —Atlanta
Era.
A Powerful Patron.
During the war a young Lieutenant with
a bran new shoulder strap took his seat with
a rather plainly dressed lady in one of our
railway trains. The following conversation
tock place between them—the shoulder strap
leading off thus :
“Madam, have you any relatives in the
war ?"
“Yes, sir, my husband is a soldier in the
army.”
“Ab, indeed 1 I am an officer in the
army, madam, and my influence may serve
your husband if I should meet him- Wbat
is his name ?"
“Ulysses 8. Grant, sir.”
The young Lieutenant vamosed at the
next stopping place, 100 modest even to wait
to be thanked.
In order to add to the present stock of
light literature, it is proposed in Loudon,
and is meeting with favor, to establish a
society to translate into English aud pririt
the best stories, from nations and languages
hitherto disregarded, including Norse, Per
sian and Hindoo tales, and Magyar and
Finnish legends.
"My dear boy,” said a kind hearted
country school mistress to an unusually
promising scholar, whose quarter was about
up—" my dear boy, does your father design
you should tread the intricate and thorny
path of the profession, the straight and nar
row way of the ministry, or revel amid the
flowery fields of literature 7" "No, marm,”
replied the juvenile prodigy, “dad says he’s

From the Atlanta Nsw Era]
State Constitutional Convention
Atlanta, March 9, 1868.
The following communication wa* read by
the Secretary :
Headers Third Military District, j
(Dep. Georgia, Florida, and Alabama,) V
Atlanta, Ga., March 7th, 1868.)
lion. J. R. Parrott, Ih-esident Constitutional
Convention:
Sir—l had the honor, on the 29th ultimo,
to receive the resolution of the Convention,
passed Febrnary 18th, 1868, requesting me
to provide tho means of defraying the
expenses of the Convention to March 11th.
Immediately on its receipt, I sent for the
Provisional Governor, and directed him to
confer with members of the Convention, and
arrange such plans as would be acceptable
and were practicable.
The Governor informed me that, on his
proposing to advance a further sum of
$15,000, the Convention would dispense
with the issue of scrip authorized by my
General Order, No. 24, and lien thereof
would be satisfactory with the issue of certifi
cates of indebtedness, to be countersigned
by the Comptroller General, and to be paid
at the State Treasury whenever the special
tax was collected. This arrangement was
approved by me j the money, $16,000, will
be paid to the Disbursing Agent of the
Convention, and the Comptroller General is
now here prepared to countersign the cer
tificates of indebtedness whenever presented
to him by the Disbursing Agent of the Con
vention.
Having thus fulfilled my part of tho pro
posed arrangement, I was somewhat sur
prised to see a resolution in the morning
papers, purporting to have been passed yes
terday, requiring the tax collectors to take
up from the holders all such scrip or war
rants as may be presented to them, and
which have been issued by the Provisional
Governor or Comptroller General to pay
the members and officers of the Convention.
Inasmuch as this resolution is not in ac
cordance with the understanding had with
the Provisional Governor, as reported to me
by that officer, and as there are, besides,
grave objections to it, I deemed it my duty,
to prevent misunderstanding, to advise you
that I am not able to give my approval to it,
and my reasons therefor, which reasons, I
trust, will prove acceptable to the Conven
tion.
My reasons are, that in order to raise and
pay to the Convention, in advance of the
collection of the special tax, the snm of
$55,000, I have had to disregard the just
claims upon the Treasury of the civil service,
and the State institutions, which I only did
on the expectation that the immediate col
lection of this tax would enable a return to
the Treasury of this amount, in time to pre
vent any serious inconvenience arising from
its abstraction. If the resolution passed by
the Convention is sanctioned, it will take
from the finantial officer of the State the
means of carrying ofit the plans on which
the advances Were predicated. If the Con
vention prefer the plan indicated in the
resolution passed yesterday, to the under,
standing I had with the Provisional Gov
ernor, I am willing to permit tax collectors
to cash the certificates of indebtedness, but
shall be obliged to withhold the promised
payment of $15,000, which was only to be
made on the conditions already stated.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
George G. Mead*,
Major General U. S. A. Commanding.
On motion of Mr. Martin, of Habersham,
a resolution which he hud previously offered,
and which had been adopted, requiring the
tax payers to exchange the tax money, col
lected by authority of the Convention for the
purpose of paying the expenses of the Con
vention, for the warrants of the Convention,
was unanimously rescinded.
Mr. Hotchkiss, from the Committee on
miscellaneous matter, made the following
report:
report of tiie committee on miscellane
ous MATTER.
Mr. Hotchkiss, from the Committee on
miscellaneous matter, submitted the follow
ng report:
Whereas, All the civil officers of the
State are only provisional until this State is
represented in Congress ; and whereas, the
interest of Georgia requires that all the civil
offices shall be filled by loyal citizens, accord
ing to the provisions of the Constitution
being framed by this Convention, at the
earliest practical moment, and for the pur
pose of avoiding any unnecessary delay or
loss of time, aud useless expense to the
State: It is ordained, that an election be
held on the 20th day of April (at such places
as may be designated by the Commanding
General of the District), for voting on ratifi

United States, and all other officers to be

And at said elections, on the ratification

year 1868, and until successors are elected
and qualified.

“You do solemnly swear or affirm that you
have been duly registered agreeably to tho
acts of Congress ; that you have not pre
vented, or endeavored to prevent or dis
suade any person from voting at this
election; that if the Constitution upon
which the vote is now being taken is ratified,
that you will truly and faithfully support
it. So help me God.”
On motion of Mr. Davis, the words “1868”
were inserted after “April.”
Mr. McCay offered the following amend
ment, which was accepted by Mr. Hotch
kiss : 1
After the word “electod” insert “as well

After the word “succession,” insert "of
said officers.”
After “1868,” insert “so that said officers
shall continue in office as though they were
elected on the Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November, 1868, or were appointed by
the Governor or elected by the General
Assembly after 1868.”
After the word “qualified,” insert “pro
vided this ordinance shall not apply to the
electiou of Justices of the Peace, who shall
bo clocted as shall be provided by law.”
The report of the Committee on miscel
laneous matters, as amended, was then
adopted by a vote of yeas 76, nays 40.

Mr. McCay offered the following amend
ment :
“Nor shall the General Assembly call a

The Constitution was adopted by a vote of
64 to 6.
The National Intelligencer gives up the
idea of the Democrats carrying New Hamp
shire this spring, but hopes it may be done
next fall.
Democratic State Conventions have been
held in lowa and Minnesota since impeach
ment was begun, but neither of them had a
word of sympathy for Andrew Johnson.
The three Republican papers of New Or
leans, the Tribune, the Republican, and the
Advocate, have hoisted the name of General
Grant for the Presidency.
It is reported in political circles that
Judge Chase has fully decided to avoid all
future political complications, and that he
will, at no distant day, communicate to his
friends his determination to decline all
aspirations for the Presidency.
The new Constitution of New York is to
be submitted to the people iu three parts, on

the remainder and body of the instrument.
The Republican Convention of Kentucky
was, it is said, enthusiastic, comprising many
Union soldiers. The resolutions which were
unusually spirited and to the point,contained
the following : “That Gen. U. S. Grant is
the first choice ot the American people of
Kentucky for President, (loud applause), und
that Hon. James Speed is the first choice for
Vice-President.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
says: “The misunderstanding between the
President and Secretary Stanton, which has
finally resulted in impeachment, was an
inspiration of that abiding and unabatable
political nuisance, Montgomery Blair, who
was the cause of perpetual jars in Mr. Lin
coln’s Cabinet, until that patient, long
enduring martyr could bear no more.”
LITERARY ITEMS.
Olive Logan says that Mrs. Caudle was
the really successful female lecturer.
Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales” have been

PERRY DAVIS’
VEGETABLE
PAIN KILLER.
WE ASK THE ATTENTION OF THE PUB
LIC to this long tested and anrivalled
FAMILY MEDICINE.
It has been favorably known for more than
twenty year*, during which time we have received
thousands of testimonials, showing this Medicine
to be an almost never-failing remedy for diseases
caused by or attendant upon—
Sudden Colds, Coughs, Fever and Ague,
Headache, Bilious Fever, Pains in the Side,
Back and Loins, as well as in the Joints and
Limbs; Neuralgia and Rheumatic Pain in
any part of the system, Toothache and Pains
in the head and face.
Asa Blood Furifyer and Tonic for the
Stomach, it seldom fails to cure Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Liver Complaint, Acid Stomach,
Heartburn, Kidney Complaints, Sick Head
ache, Piles, Asthma or Phthisic, Ringworms,
Boils, Felons, Whitlows, Old Sores, Swelled
Joints, and General Debility of the System, .
It is also a prompt and -sure remedy for
Cramp and Pain in the Stomach, Painter’s
Colic, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Summer Com
plaint, Cholera Morbus, Cholera Infantum,
Scalds, Bums, Sprains, Bruises, Frost Bites,
Chilblains, as well as the Stings of Insects,
Scorpion, Centipedes, awl the Biles of
Poisoiwus Insects and Venemous Reptiles.
See Directions accompanying each bottle.
It has been tried in every variety of climate,
and by almost every nation known to Ameri
cans. lt is the almost constant companion
and inestimable friend of the missionary
and the traveller, on land and sea, ami no
one should travel on our lakes or rivers
without it.
Prices, 25 cents, 50 cents, and $1 per bottle.
Perry Davis’ Pair Killer. —We have often
spoken of this great mcdiciDe in terms of very
high praise, and we have as often felt that all nc
could say in its favor would not do it full justice.
It is one of those medicines of which we can
speak—and speak decisively—from experience ;
for wo have repeatedly taken it, and invariably
with the best results and greatest satisfaction.
We always keep it on hand, ready for an emer
gency, and we regard it not only as one of the
very best medicines in use for various ills, but
as one of tho cheapest, also. Its cost, by tho
way—that is, the cost ot the ingredients of which
it is composed—has been considerably increased,
bat the price of the mcdicino has been but very
little advanced. It is not likely that tho popu
larity of Davis’ Pain Killer will in any measure
decrease, ot that the demand for it will in the
slightest degreo decline, until some other specific
for allaying pain and curing various complaints
for which it is so generally used, shall be dis
covered, of equal potency with it—of which
there seems to be but little probability. Asa
remedy for stomach complaints, suoh as dysen
tery, diarrhoea, etc., the Pain Killer is, without
doubt, unsurpassed, and every whero most de
servedly in domand. One, two, or three doses,
of a teaspoonfal each, in a wioo glass of milk
and water, with a little sugar, have repeatedly,
within our knowledge, effectually cured serious
trouble of this kind. Judgment should undoubt
edly be used in checking certain stages of diar
rhoea too suddenly; but taken at the proper
time, the Pain Killer will aet like a charm, and
frequently cure when nothing else will.—Provi
