We congratulate tbe good people of >V ash

Wo are informed that some of the demor
alized Democratic Loan Association Mana
gers are disposed to find fault with the
Homestead feature o( the new Constitution,
alleging that the Homestead exemption will
interfere with their lien upon real estate.
They know very well that the objection is
not well taken; but, believing that the
“Homestead” will be well received by the
mechanics, they are ready to break up their
valuable and useful Associations rather than
admit that there are uny good features in the
work of the Convention.
Great Meeting.
Our Democratic friends held a pow-vvow,
we learn, last night, at their Club Room, lor
the purpose, as understood, of nominating
candidates for tbe Legislature, and such
county officers as are elective by the people,
but they failed to make the trip, and defer
red to a future day their nominations. Per
haps Ex Gov. Jenkins’ advice has been
heeded, and our Democratic friends, by the
stunning blow the Ex-Governor has struck
them, has required a further consultation,
aud a “sober second thought” has come
before it is too late.
A Candidate Wanted.
The Macon concubines are sorely troubled
to legitimitize a candidate tor Governor,
that we offer our services so far as to sug
gest a namo for their consideration ; we
therefore offer Ambrose Ransom Wright.
His fitness for the position is shown by his
modest proclamation, in 1864, announcing
himself as Governor East of the Oconee.
He is not the man to stand upon ceremony
—he moves with celerity. Then again
“his party” having rather ignored him and
refused to recognize his self-laid claim to
the honor (1) of nominating Reese, he is
entitled to some pap for the palpable
“snub” given him by another member of
the Governor-making creed. We do hope
that the merits of this valiant knight of
Gettysburg—the gallant Wright, who is
said to have captured one voter and brought
him safely from the battle field to the corn
field—will not be ignored by the adminis-
. *ators and executors of the Democratic
pai .

Gcorttla Politics.
Atlanta, March 23.—Letters have been
received here from Governor Jenkins, coun
selling non action by the people and have
had a powerful effect. The State Committee
will very probably act on this advice.
The above we published on yesterday,
but it will bear repetition, especially as we
wish to call the attention of the Democrats
to some of the points raised by this signifi
cant fact of the old leader of the Whigs,
and now the chosen champion at Washing
ton, of the so-called Democratic party,
giving advice, such as he does in the letters
referred to. “Non-action” by the people I
And the Executive Committee to meet in
Macon, on Thursday, to nominate a Gover
nor for the second time. What's out? Who’s
pulling the wires now ? Will Democracy
heed this advice of the man they so much
delight to honor ? Who can tell ? Will the
State Committee act on this advice, or will
they turn a deaf ear and butt their heads
against a dead wall, as they are sure to do if
they persist in their madness and' folly? Will
reason bear sway, or will they blandly follow
in the old beaten path of supreme stupidity?
Our advice to the masses of t.be people of
Georgia is this : Cut away from this putrid
carcass now; vote the Republican ticket
wherever you find one whose candidates are
square upon the Platform ; vote for Col.
self-made man—for Gov
ernor. Let us get back into tbe Union ;
let us reconstruct the Govern, ment as soon
as possible, and no longer act so blindly
against our best interests as to follow the
bubbles ever and nnon rising to the surlace
of the Democratic cauldron, -only to burst
and vanish into thin air. The Republican
Church is open at all times to receive num
bers. Come out from among thvm, and be
ye saved. Come now—delays are dangerous
and hesitation fatal.

The Impeachment Matter—Meeting of the
Cabinet and Mr. Naeby—llow the He
mocracy Take it.
Wash isoton, D. C., March 8, 1868.
The moataffectin time I ever eggsperienced
in this wale o’ teera, wuzin Washiuton last
nito. Hia Eggslency telegrafft me to come
on to Washinton, And I obeyed. 1 heven’t
tied much to him recently, but I condent
forgit that he first flnve me the' offis 1 live
on, that his honored name is at the bottom
uv the cummishin 1 hold, and I felt that I
ought at least to be with him while ho was
dissolutin. I determined that he shood dror
his last offishl breath unto my faithful
buzzum.
I arrived hero, and at wunst perceeded to
the Executive Manshun. It wuz a familyer
seeen. Ther wuz Seward, Randall, Secre
tary Welles and the President, and all uv em
graver than the stately raven Hv the stately
days uv yore. The President was a tryin to
keep a stiff upper lip, but I coocf see teers a
follerin each other down his holler cheeks in
rapid succession. “He’s a goner,” thot I,
“no man kin stand that drain on his flooids.
No matter how much he may take in, that
pace will kill any one.”
The President wuz a reeain telegrams and
letters, and they wuz not'uv a carikter to
pleeze him. The first wuz from August
Belmont, and red thus :
“1 hev, ez yoo know, the highest possible
regard for yoor eggslency, and shel regret
exceedingly to see yoo deprived uv yoor high
offis ; but, reely, yoo kin scarcely eggspect
the Democrisy to embarrass themselves by
espousin yoor coz. The fact is, no party
hevin a fucher before it can tie itself to a
ded past. The teemster draws a sigh over a
ded mule, but as a ded mule kant draw his
cart, he naterally turns his eyes onto them
still possest uv vitality. I hope yoo see the
pint without my explainin it. Excuse me
for comparing yoo to a ded mule, but the
similee wuz the first that suggested itself to
me.
“With profound respect, I am, etc.
“P. S.—Should biznis call me to Tennes
see, I shel do myseif the honor to call on
yoo in your dignified retirement.”
The President wiped an avalanche uv
teers, which followed the reedin uv this
unfeelin letter, and the next wuz opened :
“Mayesvii.le, Ky., Feb. 30, 1808.
“Wood a regiment uv Irish raised in this
place be uv any servis? Auser! J. A.”
Sed Randall, “the whole county only polls
800 votes, aud that cuss hez bin borin me
for a place in the department tor over a year.
Drive on.”
•The next was from Vallandygum :
“Since the disgraceful exhibishuu yoor
friends made uv themselves at the Philadel
phia Convenshun, 1 didn’t consider myself
bound to yoo. I, ez yoo know, never took
any stock in half-and-half mixters. My de
feet by Thurman hezn’t increased my love
for yoo and yoors. I hev no objeeshen to
your holdin yoor seat to the end of yoor term,
but reely its a matter liv hut little conse
kence to me. Shood you pass thro Dayton
on yoor way to Tennessee, I shood be glad
to extend the hospitalities ttv my humble
house to yoo.”
The next wuz from Franklin Pcerse, and
wuz dated at Concord, N. H,:
“1 feel for yoo ; that is, I feel for yoo on
general principles. (Thad. Stevens, permit
me to say,’,in parc-ntliasis, hez been feelin for
yoo, and hes at last, I am satisfied, found
yoo)- I feel for yoo ez Ido for every man
who hez a offis and is obleeged to leave it.
Nevertheless, I can't help yoo. I wood let
yoo see we hev all we kin do to help our
selves. Os course yoo don’t expect the
Dimocrisy to take any “part in the struggle
between yoo and Cougris. Elected ez a
Kepublikin, with Republikins in yoor Cabi
net, the Dimocrisy, while they applaud wat
yoo hev done, can’t of course make yoor
quarrel theirs. When yoo leave Washington
for Tennf asee > can’t yoo take Concord in
yoor way ? 1 bey no objeeshen to mingle
teers with yoo.”
The next was from a Western poUtishen,
lately appointed postmaster:
Sib: 1 return the appintment voo gave
me last month with lotliin and sl:o vn - I
survived the Noo Orleans and Memp7d>s
massacres, yoor opposition to -the will uv
Congris, aud all the other datnnin iniquities
uv yoor most damnable administration, but
his last attempt to hist Stanton I can’t en
dorse ; therefore I bolt. Yoor successor
wili, I hope, do me justis, and likewise the
Senit.”
Sed Randall: “That cuss bored me for
better nor a yeer for the appintment. but the
Seuit won’t confirm him. Oh. Wade, what
heven’t yoo to undergo ! Oh, Johnson, from
what heve yoo escaped !”
A prominent Eastern Democrat wrote ez
follows:
“Defy Congris, and let em impeach yoo.
Et they shood hist yoo, all the better. It
will be an immense help toward tbe eleck
shun uv McClellan, Think how much yoo
kin do fnr the coz in this way, and stand
firm. Visit Hartford on yoor way to Ten
ts essee.”
A Western Dimokrat wrote:
“'We all applaud yoor courage and resolu
shnn. Let the Rump impeech and remove
voo, and it makes certain the triumph uv
Pendleton. Stand by yoor colors. Yoor
impeachment is our hope. Shell we see
yoo at Cincinnati on yoor way to Ten
nessee ?”
A Southern Dimokrat wrote :
“Be firm 1 be firm ! The impeechment
uv yoorself will raze sich a storm of indig
uashun in the North, and sich simpathy
fnr Southern Dimocrats, ez to make the
nomination uv even sich a man ez Brecken
ridge certin. O, stand firm! Let cm im
peach yoo. Yoo are now ot vast use to the
coz. I will meet you at Louisville, anil
accompany yoo to Tennessee.”
“McClellan I Pendleton 1 Breckonridge !”
shouted the President: “what uv me ? Am
I to bleed solely fur their good? I don’t
want to go to Tennessee, nor 1 won’t. Am
1 to go out impeeched fur their benefit?
Never 1”
Anil Audrop, who isn’t quite so much uv
a philosopher as Sokratees, busted into tears,
swearin that he’d secern blessed, afore h-M
sakrifis a mimt uv his term fur a ivbodv’a
use but his own.
The next wuz from a Assessor in Iliinoy,
who went on to remark that he wood bagl u!
to support him, but a. decent regard for the
interests of his family indikated a different
course. He hed espouzed the coz uv the
President agin Congris for the sake uv tbe
position, and the President cood well under
stand that it wuz no more diffikult to change
now to keep offis than it wuz to ch.- ftge two
years ago to git one. He was at this time
bizzily engaged in supportin Congris. “Call
it not ingratitood,” sed he, “I wuz in the
market, then, and am now. precisely ez wuz
all them wich you led captive out uv the
Republikin party. He is a eggregis ass who
worships the sottin sun, when, by turnin
around, kin let the golden rays of the risin
orb beam onto him.”
At this pint, and long afore tho afflicted
President had recovered from these blows,
Giddy Welles’ nephew, who had bin out on
a scout, returned with a report. Fust, ho
bed notist that every durnod one of the
cusses who had bin boseegin the Whito
House for apintments for months past wuz
now doggin Senator Wade around; that
thoy waited in doors, at the door of the
Senit Chamber, and that they beseeged his
hotel. Secondly, that tho Constoosonnel
Yoonyun Club wuz then in session, and wuz
jest debatin the question whether to-change
the name of thp club to the “Ekal Ititos
Assosiashen,” the “ Imparsliel Suffrage
League,” or the “Radikle Brotherhood 1”
Third, that the Conservative clerks in the
Departments wuz all organizing themselves
in Grant and Wade Clubs, and that already
one uv the Department Clubs had ordered
four thousand Grant medals, turning in the
old Johnson medals they hed bin wearin’
as part pay.
“Good Heavens I” sed his Eggslency.
“Wat else eood yoo expect?” retortid
Randall, “we hot em cheep and they are
cheep men. I may do the same thing afore
nite. The experiment uv buyin up a party
at so much a hed hez bin tried afore, and hez
alius failed afore, very much like the ijee uv
perpetooal moshen. You ken git consider
able enthoosiasm q* long ez yoor provender
holds out, but then—. The fact is yoo didn’t
get no Republikens worth hevin, and yoo
ain’t uv no yoose to the Democricy, becoz
yoo coodent carry enuff uv them Republikens
over to do em any good. My deer sir, yoor
in a tite place. We’re retired physicians
whose sands uv life hev neerly run out. I
see afore me a long vista uv privit life. I
sold myself ruther cheep, but I don’t com
plain. I hev about filled the measure of my
ambisheu—people forget in a few years, and
es they didn’t, the Amerikin people won’t be
crooel enuff to hold my children responsible
for wat I hev done. Some uv em—l hev
keerfully kep em away from Washing
ton for nearly three years—may yet
redeem the name uv Randall, even ez
worthy meu by the name uv Arnold hev
managed to live and be respectid—their
virchoos more than balancing the unfortunit
name they wuz cust with. But, A. Johnson,
yoor time is short. The Republikins is
lurious, aud the Democrisy had ruther see it
than not. I, too, will visit yoo in yoor re
tirement in Tennesse.”
“More goy A. Johnson in his eggsile feels,
Then 'fore the Senits got him by tbo heels.”
By the time he wuz done talking, the
balance uv em hed all left the room, aud
when he wuz done he went too, leavin no
one but me. The scene wuz affectin. Drop
pin his head onto my buzzum, the scaldin
teers a running down his cheeks, he ex
claimed in a holler voice: “One by one
they go. Mrs. Cobb first, and the balance
immejitly after. Oh, wat a world is this 1”
I draw the curtain over his grief. " I may
have to financier somewhat to hold my
place, but I alius respeck manly emoshen.
