Resolved, That tee earnestly request the friends of Reconstruction to ratify the Xomination of the How R. B. Bollock in their Primary Meetings, and sustain him by their rotes. 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 going to set mo to work in the tatur patch/* 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 cation of the Constitution, for the election of Governor, members of the General Assem bly, Representatives to the Congress of the United States, and all other officers to be elected as provided in this Constitution. And at said elections, on the ratification of the Constitution, and for Governor, mem bers of Congress, and members of the Gen eral Assembly, and all other civil officers, the qualification for voters shall be the same as prescribed by the act of Congress, known as the Sherman Bill, for voters, at the elec tion on the ratification of the Constitution ; and at all elections under the provisional government. Aud Major General Meade is respectluljy requested to give the necessary orders to carry into effect the foregoing provisions, and cause due returns to bo made and certficates of election to issue by the proper officers. And be it further ordained, .that the regulations established by Congress for voting upon the ratification of the Con stitution, and for voting at elections under the provisional government, shall apply to the election of officers as aforesaid, and the persons so elected .shall continue ia office till the regular succession provided for after the year 1868, and until successors are elected and qualified. Upon any voter being challenged he shall take the following oath; “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 as the officers appointed by the first Governor or elected by the first General Assembly.” 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. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Convention assembled at three o’clock, and proceeded with the considera tion of the Report of the Committee on Revision. On motion of Mr. Mini, eh, the report was adopted. The article providing for the alteration and amendment of the Conatitution wts taken up. Mr. Conliy moved to amend the report by striking out that portion of It which pro vide* for toe amendment of the Comtitution by the General Assembly. Mr. McCay offered the following amend ment : “Nor shall the General Assembly call a convention in the selection of delegates to which any additional qualification for voters shall be prescribed therein different from those prescribed by this Convention." Mr. Bryant offered tie following Bnbsti tntei This Constitution may be amended by a two-thirds vote of two successive Legislatures and by a submission of the amendment to the qualified voters for final ratification; and the General Assembly shall not call a convention of the people in the election of delegates to which any person qualified to vote by this Constitution be disqualified; and the representation in said convention aball be based upon population. Nor shall the rights of suffrage ever be taken from any person qualified by this Constitution to vote : Provided that the General Assembly shall not call any convention for the purpose of amending this Constitution until after the expiration of ten years. IJThe Vote wa3 taken by yeas and nays on the change in Mr. Bryant’s substitute, “and the representation in said convention shall be based upon population,” with the follow ing resuit—yeas 60, nays 67. Adjourned. State Nominating Convention OF GEORGIA. Atlanta, March 7—7 o’clock p. m. The Nominating Convention met imme diately after the adjournment of tho Con stitutional Convention, and was called to order by the President, lion. A. L. Harris- Mr. Blodoett offered the following, which was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the delegates of this Con vention have watched with great interest the contest which, for the last two years, has been in progress between the Congress and the President of the United States. Resolved, That the Congress, in its steady, nnflinching, and patriotic resistance to Executive usurpation, has our warmest sympathies, ana will receive our hearty support. The committee to nominate delegates to the Chicago National Republican Conven tion made the following report, which was unanimously adopted: Delegates at Large.—Foster Blodgett, J. R. Parrott, E. Hulbert, C. H. Hopkins. Alternates.—J. L. Dunning, H. K. Mc- Cay, J. L. Seward. First District.—A. L. Harris, Isaac Seeley. Second District.—R. H. Whiteley, John Murphy. Third District.—J. G.

Watson. Resolved, That each of the delegates from the Congressional Districts be empowered to select an alternate in case he should not be able to attend. Mr. Bedxokd offered the following, which was adopted : Resolved, That our delegates to the National Republican Convention, at Chicago, on the 20th of May, are instructed to cast their vote as a unit for General Ulysses S. Grant for President. The resolution was adopted with applause, and three hearty cheers were given for Gen. Grant. On motion the Convention adjourned sine die- A. L. Harris, Chairman. A. E. Marshall, ) c . . S. W. Beaird, ’j Secretaries. POLITICAL ITEMS. The North Carolina Convention has agreed to adjourn on the 12th inst. The Louisiana Convention has adopted the remaining articles of the Constitution. 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 each of which they may vote independently. First, the section regarding the suffrage"; second, that about the judiciary; and third, 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 translated and published in Germany, A copy of Audubon's “Birds of America,!’ iu four volumes, brought £l6O at a recent book sale in London. Gen. R. E. Lee has just completed the manuscript of bis lon-- meditated memories of his father, commonly called “Light-horse Harry.” Longfellow's translation of Dante is quoted by the Italian editor of the new edition published at Milan for the explana* tion of obscure passages. Swinburne has very nearly completed “Bothwell,” the second poem of the dramatic triology on the life of Mary, Queen of Scots, of which “Chnsteland” was the first. An elegant illustrated edition of Dr. Hol land’s “Kathrina” is to be published during the next Christmas holiday season, and is, we believe, the first book announced for that remote period. After quoting the opinions of several pupers with reference to Mr. Hopworth Dixon’s new book, "Spiritual Wives,” tho Pall Mall Gazette concludes with one from “Tristam Shandy;” “Call it, my dear, bv its right name,” said my father, “ana look through the keyhole ns long ns you will,” SPECIAL NOTICES jarCONSIGNEES PER SOUTH CAR OLINA RAILROAD, March 10, 1808.—O A Rowland, J M Clark A Cos, Pollard Cox A Cos, Choc Baker, Horton A Walton, J Notion A Son, Z MoOord, Bones Brown <6 Cos, E R Schneider f W O Gibson, J D Butt A Bro, Bothwell W A Cos, W A Ramsay A Cos, Jones Smytho A Cos, V A Scrnnton, G R R, Getjen <t Dosoher, J Prager, Wyman A May, Gerarty A Armstrong, J A T A Bones, j A Grey A Cos, Fonterey Mills, Gray A Turley, F Von Ksmp, Hatch A Goodrich, Isaac Levy, P M, H Myers, Mullorky Bros, Kenny A Grey. |y CONSIGNEES PER CENTRAL RAILROAD, March 11, 1888.—D II Denning, C A Williams <t Cos, E O’Donnel, H F Russell <£; Cos, J A Gray & Cos, V Richards A Bro, C B Day, J Uert A Cos, Kenney A (l, T Richards A Bon, A Bleakley, J C Schreiner A Son, T Rasseil, E H Paghe, It F Urquhsrt, Lt Catlcy, J 0 Mathcw son A Cos, J T Gardiner, J Stogner, P Malone, J F Miller, W Bennett, J M Dye A Cos, I T Heard.

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 dence Advertiser.
