Clat’s resignation has boen accepted. He has written a letter to Gen. Grant that he will go for him and liepub licanism. Heltet. We congratulate tbe good people of >V ash ington county on the fact, that owing to General Order 37, from General Mu abb’s Headquarters, giving immediate vitality to Colonel Bullock’s relief measure, the Court and lawyers found “no business,” and Me people went to their homes happy, and the lawyers to their offices with pockets and dockets empty, Idouejr Shavers. 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 . „ Mutability.

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.
