For the information of many persons who have made inquiries ns to what county officers arc elective, we would state that, from the host information v-c can at present get upon the subject, all comity officers arc elective—that is to ;ay : Ordinaries, Sheriffs, Justices of the l’eaee, and Bailiffs ; Mem bers ol tho Ilousc of Representatives, and Senators of the Districts. Clerks of tho District Courts are ap pointed. Clerks ol the Superior Courts arc elected. The Inferior and County Courts arc abol ished. Old Greene, We have intelligence from this staunch old county of a small caucus—a meetingi so-called, of the Democratic party—at which one or two lawyers spoke a short while each ; but they didu’t nominate any candidates for county officers. We guess that stunning blow hit by ex-Governor Jenkins was the cause. We farther learn that the people of Greene are for Bullock, the Constitution, Relief, the Homestead law—the opinion ol the “coppersmiths” (lawyers) [?) whose vo cation is (glory to God !) almost played out, as was Alexander’s when Paul spake at Athens and the people followed him.

R. Wells, 380 Broad way, New York. Sinsulnr->-lliit, no doubt, True. A friend of ours tells -a strange thing upon himself. A day or two since, he felt all of a sudden, a sensation of meanness most unaccountable to him, such as a desire to abuse and villify every decent and “re" spectable” gentleman he should meet. He even got so far along as to prevent a “smile” or even his dinner being taken, and he walked and thought, but could not discover the cause of the unusual feeling. At last, worn down with such action of his usually equable mind, he resolved lo return home as the shades of evening began to draw on. He greeted his family with grimness, and had no relish for his supper. The feeling still continued. He tried to, but could not enjoy his usual evening pipe. He prepared to retire to bed, and upon divosting himsel! of his coat, at once felt better ; but when his wife picked up from the floor a news paper, and finding that, by some un accountable means, a copy of the Chronicle & Sentinel had got into his coat-tail pocket, he could account for all his badJeelings. He chucked the thing into the fire, and was instantly restored to hi* former state of mind. Aspirants. Take care, friends, liow you suffer your selves to be cajoled into the acceptance of the candidacy for any office. You can hardly conceive of the terrific batteries of slang and trumped up stories that will be raised against you—your capacity for business, your intellect, your moral char acter, your family cunn“etion, your long forgotten expressions "of an idle, hilarious moment, will all Vie brought up in judgment against you, and if you are not called a liar, a thief or a murderer, it will be a wonder. This is modern Democratic decency, while they claim all the decency in the country. Such is the present tactics used by the so-called Democratic Press to vent their spleen and knaw the files which are sharpening up their wits, until some of them are well nigh crazy. We shall take especial pleasure in continuing the medicine even if an asylum for tho lunatic should be the finale for them. “Let Justice be Hone, iliouicli Ibo Heaven. Fal 1!” This sentiment has been called to our mind by the fact that tho meat houses in our city have been closed, and at 8 o’clock yesterday not a bit of meat could be bad at the Market. This is caused by the unequal class legislation (for we cannot help calling it so), which requires a butcher, in a store for which he pays rent, to pay a tax of S3OO dollars per annum for a license, while in every other retail business a license of ten, twenty or thirty dollars is only required, according to sales made. With the same propriety our City Fathers could and should charge every man who sells bacon, or dried beef, or flour or corn, or any other of the necessaries of life, the same fee of S3OO. Besides, this une qual legislation, bearing so hardly, as we conceive, upon the butchers at the meat houses, is of serious concern to the house keepers of the city, who have to plod, on weary feet, from Hawk’s Gully to t(jo Lower Market, and often find the last scraggy piece of beef or mutton sold. The great convenience of these established houses, for the sale of meats of all kinds to the tax-payers of the city, is beyond calcu. lation, aud we cannot conceive of a valid excuse for the retention of the fee required, or the abolition of the butchers’ meat houses, now closed, from the fact that they were unable to pay the high tax imposed upon them. Meat is high enough, as it is, without additional weight upon tho con sumers. Arrived at I.n»t. KM Tha Schooner Anna Burton from Phila delphia, eighteen days out, arrived yesterdny at Charleston-. She has on board the Rail road Iron to complete the track of the City Railroad. Hurry up, gentlemen, and wo “will all lake a ride”—u)»to the Hill. Ueiuoeriitlc Nomination* for County Officer*. We were under the belief when alluding to the meeting of Tuesday night last, that the county nominations were postponed on account of tho weather or Governor Jeukius’ advisory letters, but we have good reason to suspect another cause for the failure at that time. The census of the faithful had not been completed 1 the “dark lantern ” con spirators of ante helium, know nothing days had not gotten the wires al! set, and the traps ready ; they had not completed the work ol taking the names down' for future proscriptive arrangements—for future at tempts upon the inherent right of every man to enjoy his religious and political opinions, without let or hinderanco—without tho base born, hell-conceived, devil-begotten pre scription now so rampant in this “land of the free and home ol’ the brave.” And hence the faiTire to “bring out” their Democratic, Know Nothing ticket. To our foreign-born fellow citizens, we say, beware ! The self-same deviltry, the self-same spite, the self-same hate that proscribed you in the days of Know Nothingism, is on tho rampage—when a man’s opinions, either as to his government or his religion, cannot be allowed—when he must either succumb, from weakness, or be environed by enemies to his very existence—to his business—to his avoca tion, however simple or unobtrusive upon the public. We have heard of no order from any quarter for a “ numbering of the people,” and we look upon such Democratic assumption as the very height of impu dence—the spawn of all that is mean, and low anti disgusting, This attempt at force is repugnant to the institutions of Republi can government, and deserves, as it will receive, the condemnation of all right thinking men of all parties. Governor Jenkins. The Journal <£■ Messenger, in referring to Governor Jenkins’ reported advice to the Democratic party for a course of non-action says : If this statement bo true, we do not hesitate to express our very decided regret that Governor Jenkins should offer any such advice, and our no less decided opposition to its being followed by the people of Georgia. It is, in our humble judgment, a blunder of that description pronounced by Talleyrand to be worse than a crime. It is unwise, ill timed, and almost inexcusable, and we are sure the people will so pronounce. After alluding to the Supreme Court of the United States, ho goes on to say in re gard to the advice of Governor Jenkins as to “non-action ” recommended by the Ex- Governor : Is he so enamored of the results attained last year by adherence to this policy—ttud which policy it is known this journal at that time heartily approved. And— We repeat that we scarcely have words to express our regret ut, and disapproval of, such u recommendation. If the people heed it, of which we have little fear, however, they are lost beyond even a hope of redemption. Nothing can he clearer. Now, it is very clearly evident to us that such (lings at Judge Jenkins come with a very bad grace from the Democratic party of Georgia, when he has been the leader so long, either as a Whig or a Democrat, of one or the other parties heretofore and now, in our State. We had thought that his counsels at least would have had some influ ence upon the various and sundry cliques who seek, as oi yore, to rule or ruin the country. It is neither “unwise,” “ill timed,” or a “blunder,” if the people of Georgia will regard it as they should, and as we daily call upon them to do, and that is, to ratify the Constitution and vote for Col. Bci.lock, who aided in making it, and who stands square upon it; and will maintain it at all hazards, knowing neither rich or poor in the execution of the laws made under it. Politics in South Carolina. Hamburg, S. C., March 23. 2 o the Editors of the Niros: In this small town, thirty-one citizens have signed the following document, viz.: "We, the undersigned, citizens of Hamburg and vicinity, have agreed to form a Democratic Club, whose purpose shall be to support the principles of the Democratic party, and further, to send delegates to the National Democratic Convention. We therefore in vite, from all our fellow citizens favoring this, their hoip and support.” It is supposed that about as many more will sign the samo. It is rumored that, p Democratic meeting will be held here on Wednesday next, and that General Wright, of the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, or Judge Aldrich, or both, will address the meeting. From the above, it appears that, in Ham burg, 8. C., a Democratic Club is organ ised, but as the information “to the Editor of the News" is without a signature, and as it appears the Democratic Club is without a “head and tail,” it. is one of the many farces to which Hamburg is much subject. As sure as that “so called Democratic child” can not bear tbe light of the sun, so sure it will disappear without any notice. A Rki’Ußi.icaner. Impeachment, James Madison, who, by the testimony of his own notes of the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention, is, more than any other man, the father of the Constitu tion, laid down the authority of Congress in the matter of impeachments, in the Virginia Convention for deliberating on the National Constitution: “There is one security in this case to which gentlemen may not have adverted ; if tho President be connected in any suspicious manner with any persons, and there be grounds to believe he will shelter himself, tho House of Representatives can impeach him; they can remove him if found guilty ; they can suspend him when suspected, and the power will devolve on the Vico President. Should he bo sus pected also, he may likewise be suspended till he be impeached and removed, and the Legislature may make a temporary ap pointment.’’—[Vol. 2, page 367.

Wiicreas, The Constitutional Convention of the State ol Georgia, recently in session in thiß city, did, on the 10th day of March, 1868, adopt the following Ordinance, to wit: An Ordinance to promtU for the ■ election of civil officer*. Wuerbas, All the civil officers of the State are only provisional until the State Is represen ted in Congress; And whereas, The interest el Georgia requires that all the civil offices should be filled by loyal citizens, according to the provisions of the Constitution being warned by this Convention, at the earliest practical mo ment, uud for the purpose of avoiding auy unnecessary delay or loss of time, and useless expense to tho State; It is ordered, That an election be held, begln ing on the twentieth day of April, 1808, (at such places as may be designated by the Com manding General of the District) for voting on ratification 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, aud •aid election to be kept open from day to day at the discretion of the General commanding.

And Major General Meade is respectfully requested to give tlie necessary orders to carry into effect the foregoing provisions, aud cause due returns to be made aud certificates of election to issue by the proper officers. - And be it further ordained, That the regulations estab lished by Congress for voting upon the ratifi cation of the Constitution and for voting at elections under tho Provisional Government, shall apply to the election of officers aforesaid, and the persons so elected or appointed shall enter upon the duties of the several ollices to which they have been respectively elected when authorized so to do by Acts of Con gress, or the order of the General Command ing, and shall continue In office till the regular succession provided for after the year 1868, aud until successors are elected and" qualified, so that said officers slmll each of them hold their offices as though they were elected on the luesday alter the lirst Monday in November, 1868, or elected or appointed ’at the General Assembly next thereafter, and the rules for conducting and making the returns thereof shall be tbc same as shall he prescribed by the Commanding General for the elections and returns on the ratification of the Constitution. But this Ordinance shall not apply to the Justices of the Peace, who shall be elected ut such time as shall be provided for by the first General Assembly until otherwise provided by law. Upon any voter being challenged, he shall take the following oath : “You do solemnly swear (or affirm) that ton have been duly registered agreeably to the Acts of Congress; that you have not prevented, or endeavored to prevent, 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 you God.” 11. And whereas, By an act of Congress, which became a law March 13, IS6B, it is enacted that the Constitutional Convention ol any of the States mentioned in the Recon struction Acts may provide that, at the time of voting upon the ratification of the Constitu tion, the registered voters may vote also for members of the House ot Representatives of the United States, and for all elective officers provided for by said Constitution. 111.
