as it may he to our readers
and the rest of mankind, we are pained to
be compelled to announce that there was
NO NOMINATION FOR CONGRESS
made by the “so called” on yesterday. We
did not learn that upon counting noses, ther e
were found present just fifteen delegates,
and every third one was “sorter hankering

We take special pleasure in calling the
attention of the public to the advertisements
of every business house who appreciates the
tact that the Republicans, as a class, have
some money to spend, and they look to our
columns to know where to go and do it to the
best advantage. Os course there are other
places in town where Republican greenbacks
are not refused, but we don’t know it from
any advertisement in our columns.
Y. 7*l. L. Association.
We listened patiently, and with some
degree of interest, to Dr. Ford, Sr.’s, Lec
ture on “Popular Government, as Illus
trated in the United States and the Confede
rate States,” last night, at Masonic Hall-
This was the second Lecture by Dr. F.,
upon the same subject, and he occupied
some time in a recapitulation of his former
Lecture. Although wo took notes during
its delivery—only interrupted by the ap
plause, often repeated, whenever allusion
was made to the “Lost Cause”—wo do not
think our readers would care much to have
us repeat here the arguments used, or con
clusions arrived at. The Dr. well remarked,
that the “spirit of the age was the spirit of
freedom”—that is certainly true in the
present history of our common country.
He went on further to say that, “this is a
new age, an age of humanity, old things are
rapidly passing away and all things are be
coming new.” We certainly agree and en
dorse this sentiment, as one eminently ap
propriate to the present status of political
affairs, as well as in religion, medicine,
mechanics, and many other of the pursuits of
life.
The lecturer then went on to speak of the
increase of knowledge, and the birth of
nations in a day—referring to the defunct
Confederacy as anew nation—and for four
years or less, we acknowledge, that it was a
sickly and feeble infant,who never learned to
walk, and died of its own inherent weakness.
We disagree in toto with the propo
sition that in the attempted revolt
of the Southern States the mission
of the United States was fulfilled, or in a
a long shot of sucli a consummation. When,
in the long vista of time, down which the
generations to come will follow us, an hun
dred States will no doubt be added, and the
stars be studded over the same National
Flag which, in days past, and which will,
and which does now, wave so triumphantly
over tho American States.
But we cannot say much more now. We
can barely allude to tho peroration, Jwt we
again are compelled to say that we disagree
to the postulates and conclusions of the
speaker, for we believe that there is no
other cause now to be considered by the
Southern people but that of reconstruction
under the Congressional bills.
The Court*.
Recorder’s Court, Alderman Tweedy,
Mayor pro tern, on yesterday had two eases
determined to wit:
Levi Sullivan—lßth Section—fined the
cost of suit, and upon payment of the same
the said Timothy was discharged.
Marion Herning, for violation of the same
Section was incontinently told to “Vamose
the Ranch” and not show his corporesity in
this bailiwick again, or be would find that
be would have to do the State or the City
rather some extra service, by laboring upon
that newly devised institution lor offenders—
the Chain-Gang.
Bunk Rowe for the same offence, a fioe of
$lO and costs of suit.
Before Judge McLaws—special session o*
County Court—several cases came up, both
whites and blacks. A pretty good attend
ancc of colored men, to hear and learn
something of the machinery of the law, and
some interested in the cases of
Jim Webster (colored), a lad of fourteen
years, for larceny from the house—stole a
hat —sentenced to four months on the Chain
Gang, -and costs. This was Jim’s second
offense, and his Honor, after giving him some
“good talk” about his youthful indiscretions
and his former three months’ service, sent
him forward.
Allen Thomas, for simple larceny, and
Peter Jones—a rather hard looking case—
of being an accessory of tbe fact. Both
pleading guilty, were sentenced to two
months’ service in mending tbe highways
and by-ways of the city. “Turnips and turnip
greens” were the moving cause to the
larceny.
Ilis Honor had before him, night before
last, two white men for malicious mischief ',
and upon investigation they were both com
mitted to the “lock-up” upon the evidence
produced before his Honor. The malicious
mischief thus brought to light seemed to be
the damaging of Mr. E. 11. Rogers’recently
erected new house, corner of Greene and
Elbert streets, to the amount of $250, by
the wanton bedaubing of tbe painted rooms.
Punishment of the severest known to the
laws should be meted out to miscreants who
are guilty of such mean exhibitions of a
depraved nature.

A HONG FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
BT NED M.INNER.
From mountain! downward to the sea
There goes a rallying cry ;
And every man for peace and right
Now lifts his banner high.
Como brothers front the hill and wood
Around our leader draw,
And crowd the forefront of the strife
With many a loud hurrah!
Then come, boys, come,
And join the Union elan ;
Then cheor, boys, ebeor,
For Builook is our man.
From mouth to mouth goes forth the cry,
The Union must bo saved,
For this we gird our armor on,
For this the storm wo’vo braved.
So lot the opposition fret,
And nice distinctions draw:
We’ll cheor tho Constitution on
With many a loud hurrah !
Then come, boys, came,
And join tho Union clan ;
Then ehcor, boys, cheer,
For Bullock is our man.
Tho Right will need each freeman’s vote,
And norvo each patriot's heart,
Come let us sweep all wrong away,
And heal tho nation’s smart.
We’ll wheel old Georgia into line,
For progress, truth and law,
And then we’ll make the welkin ring
With many a loud hurrah ! ,
Then come, hoys, come,
And join the Union clau j
Then cheer, boys, ehcor,
For Bullock is our mao.
r« liny—but True.
During the war, there was a chap who
held the office of Superintendent of an Im
proved Pistol Factory near Philadelphia,
Pa., making pistols to “kill” us with, and
upon its conclusion, with carpet bag in hand,
as an Insurance Agent, came South to try
and save our lives, or to pay our heirs for our
dying ; and then like an unmitigated rebel,
is cheek by jowl with the new fledged Fish,
Flesh and Fowl party, calling themselves*
par excellence, the Democratic party. “What
a fish a toad is.”

We sent our reporter to the “Democratic
pow-wow” on yesterda)’, but he was not
allowed an entrance to the Sanhedrim of
the new light Democracy, assembled for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for the
Fifth Congressional District. He did not
have the password of this “Know Nothing
Convocation,” and therefore was not ad
mitted. The order was as reported to us :
“let none but democrats enter !” Our
reporter had no ticket and could not, there,
fore, show his handsome countenance in the
assembly of the mongrel crowd therein got
together.
Homestead and Italic! Laive.
It is somewhat amusing to know that there
are in our State many persons who were the
most blatant opposers to the aclion of the
Georgia Convention, who have abused and
villified its members, more than the “army
in Flanders,” at the acts and doings of the
Convention, but they are the first ones to
seek shelter under the order of Gen. Meade
confirming and establishing the ordinances
passed at Atlanta, until otherwise confirmed
by the people or changed from Headquarters,
That is Democratic—modern, bogus, so
called, Democratic. Consistent in being in
consistent, and ready at all times to take ad
vantage of the known benefit of the laws
when enforced, which they will be, and what
is better (as we happen to know), confirmed
by the Congress of the United States when
ever the Constitution of Georgia is ratified
and submited to that body.

On yesterday, at 12 o'clock m., the Conven
tion of the so-called Democracy met at the
Democratic Club Room on Ellis st., in rear o(
the Globellotel. We were not present, because
—although considered good looking enough
to go almo t anywhere—we were met with
one of the old Know Nothing dodges, “none
admitted but Democrats.” Os course we
couldn’t “come in,” and we depend on out
side information. If the “brethren” had
shown us the courtesy of a fine seat we would
have taken great pleasure in going in, and
we are sure would not have made them ap
pear as a great convention other than the
facts would have warranted us in doing.
Skies llriglil.
The Republican party of Georgia never
had a more encouraging prospect than at
this time. From the mountains to the sea
board, and from the Savannah to the Florida
line, we are daily in receipt of the cheering
news that “all’s well.” The bogus Demo
cracy arc “heaving and setting” every
where—but the load they have to carry is
too much for them; they pull too hard, and
every step they take they sink deeper and
deeper in the mud and mire of the “Slough
of Despond.”
All that is needed by the Republican
party is cohesion, concentration of forces,
and thorough ventilation of the principles of
the party, and, ere two moons more, the
people of Georgia will be saved from the
utter and irremediable ruin that stares
them in the face. Work, then, Relief men !
Work, then, Bullock men! Work, then,
every man who has any love for his country j
Let no obstacle stand in your way—let no
excuse be allowed for non-action. Listen
to no specious verbiage, such as Democratic
editors may indite, Democratic speakers
say, or Democratic flagmen blab around.
Truth Wlirout.
The New York 'limes (Democrat) says
that “the Richmond Whirl hopes that some
of the millions of New York capital now
seeking investment in real estate will be
directed toward Virginia. It says that
‘lands are cheaper, more productive, and
quite as safe in Virginia as in New York.’
This is gratifying intelligence. We have
been told so often, and so emphatically by
the leading organs of public opinion, that
the South was on the verge ot a war of races,
that negro suffrage was sure to involve
ruinous taxation, repudiation of debts, and
other evils utterly subversive to the confi
dence which capitalists always require, that
wo have been chary in urging investments
at the South. If the Whig is right, matters
must he improving in Virginia at all events,”

Unwilling Recruit*.
Wo havo noticed that our Democratic
Club makers in this city have a had habit of
attuminy that certain gentlemen of respecta
bility and standing would act with them,
and thereupon announcing there names as
Presidents, Vice Presidents, etc., etc., and
uow the samo trick has been attempted by
the “Ku-Klux” in Savannah. We commend
to our readers the bold, manly letter of Col.
Robb:
Editor Uefcbucan — By tha proceedings
of a Democratic meeting held in this city on
Saturday, as published in the Advertiser of
this date, I am informed that I am appoint
ed by the chairman of that meeting to rep
resent it in Senatorial Convention to be
held in Blackshear on Tuesday next.
I take this method of informing those
interested that I respectfully decline to
serve the Democratic party in that or any
other capacity. At no time of my life, past
or present, have I had any principles or
sympathies with that party; and I had
supposed my political views were too well
known to bo mistaken by any one. I will
simply add, that about the time the meet
ing above alluded to was in session I was
actually presiding over au assemblage of
Republicans in this city, met together for
the purpose of devising means to secure a
better and more efficient organization of
the Republican party in this city and dis
trict, with which ‘party I have been con
nected from this organization.
Respectfully, T. P. Robb.

Congressional.
Washington, March 31. — Senate. —There
was nothing done prior to the Couit.
Journal was omitted. Evidence proceeded
with until Stanberry objected. Chase sus
tained the Managers. Drake objected. Chase
maintained that he had the right to make
preliminary decisions subject to approval.
Drake appealed. Managers sustained the
appeal, Butler saying that he was glad the
issue arose when ruling was in their favor.
The defense took no part in the contest.
A motion to retire prevailed—Chase voting
aye to decide the tie. Doolittle and Sauls
berry were the only Democrats voting nay.
After thre* hours absence Chase announced
decision that Chase should decide questions
of evidence and preliminary questions sub
ject to appeal to the Senate. Adjourned.
House. —Nothing important beyond pass
ing tax cotiferenco report.
Items from Washington.
Washington, March 31.—Judge Black,
yesterday, in the Supreme Court, desired to
argue its to the effect of tho recent legislation
on McArdle. During the colloquy, Judge
Grier said he felt called upon to vindicate
himself from whatever of obloquy or censure
may attach to any one in this matter. That
he thought the failure to decide the McArdle
case will be considered as a design on the
part of the Court to wait for legislation, to
relieve them from the performance of an
unpleasant duty. Grier closed with “ Pudet
hae approbire dici ct non potui sc repelli."
1 am ashamed such an opprobium should be
cast upon the Court, and that it can’t be
refuted.
There will be further proceedings to day.
The House adopted the conference report
on the tax bill, which was sent to tha Presi
dent.
The Supreme Court postponed argument
in the McArdle case until its next term.
The Senate proceeded with the usual
routine of business.
General Hancock has issued an order to
day, assuming command of the Division of
tho Atlantic, with his headquarters in Wash
ington. The division embraces the depart
ment of the East ,of Washington, and of
the Lakes.
Butler volunteered to repeat after inaudi
ble witnesses, but the defence objected.
The vote in private session to sustain
Chase was 31 to 19.
In the Supreme Court case of Martin and
McGill, a motion to advance the cause was
denied. It was an appeal from a Circuit
in Florida in a murder case. The Court
suggested a remedy in the shape of an
application of this Court for habeas corpus
and a writ of certiorari against the District
Court. The counsel took no action on
suggestion. This case Is similar to the
McArdle case.
The McArdle argument.was postponed, on
motion of Carpenter, who was not prepared;
The managers made a tremendous etfort
to day, saying that should the point go
against them, they would led compelled to
retire and consult the House.
When the decision was announced, Butler
said the managers desired to retire for con
sultation.
Little evidence was taken to day.
The President's friends seem in excellent
spirits.
It has transpired that the President has
changed the form of the appointment blanks
to conform to the Tenure-01-Oflice act, after
that law passed.
Genera! Moorchead characterizes the
interview between Stanton and Thomas as
