Sunnier uml Calhoun.
The great Mr. Sumner speaks patron
izingly of the late John C. Calhoun as “that
ingenious person.” —Richmond Whig.
Yes, anil il Sumner said anything in (avor
of Calhoun, the head d—l of secession and
nullification—he was probably instigated by
the feeling of “treading lightly on the ashes
of the dead”—not only dead physically, but
dead as his rebellions doctrines —never to bo
resurrected.
Suitability.
There is no use talking about “availa
bility.” Unless a candidate is suitable at
all points and sound upon Reconstruction
and the Union, there is no use of his trying
the race for an office in Georgia. If ho has
opposed the Congressional bills as a mode
of relief for our present disability as a
people of a Territory, then he had just as
well not to run. It won't amount to a
centime if he gets elected. There is no
possible chance for him to hold his office,
with the Test Oath appended to it, without
he be enfranchised by Congress ; and there
is no danger in the world of the latter being
done for him. So what’s the use ?
Not Hi auiimueit-
O. F. Gregory was not nominated as can
didate for Clerk of the Inferior Court. Wc
were led into an error,— Constitutionalist.
We can forgive an error when it is the
result of ignorance or carelessness, but when
there was no mention made of the office of
Clerk of the Inferior Court, or of any candi
date for such a myth, we cannot but believe
the error a wilful one and inexcusable in
any sensible man, unless his credulity or
recklessness led him to do a wrong to an
humble individual of the community, wholly
beyond the pale of excuse.
Thunks.
Resolved, That our thanks be tendered the
press of the city for their attention in giving
notice of our meetings, publishing our pro
ceedings, etc.— Geo. Med. Association.
The above resolution was passed at the
Georgia Medical Association, last week,
April 10th, 18G8. The reader will sec the
“thanks” tendered to the press. We do not
take a bit of it. We noticed the “ Medicos ”
gratuitously, but they never invited us to
their deliberations, nor to their banquet—to
the latter we should not have gone—but they
could have saved their grub, and wine, and
their credit if they had extended their cour
tesies. We only notice the matter to say
that while there are a good many Republican
people in Georgia who are compelled, at
times, to take drugs and poisons, we have
just learned that, politics has crept into the
profession, and that we shall be compelled
“to live without medicine at all,” or be killed
secundcn artem according to the best politico-
Democratic administrators 1
Bah—a—a—a—n
Gov. Jenkins.
Defining his position as to the instructions
sent to Atlanta, gives the lie direct to the
thing. Somebody lias lied—who is it ? It
is not our funeral, and we do not care a four
pence half penny. Bogus Democracy, of
the Ben Hill and Range Wright school,
stickle at nothing. They “hope against
hope,” and revel in confusion and strife ; so
that they keep their own skin3 whole aud
bones unbroken. Whether Jenkins did or
did not send instructions to the faithful as to
“masterly inactivity,” we do not care ; but
Jenkins must recollect one thing, that, as a
well known aristocrat, the masses have no
use for a man who favored the Algerine law,
and who for a life time does not regard a
poor man at a much higher standard than
he does a dray horse, and lias done as little
for his poor neighbors, and cares as little for
them, as if they were dumb brutes. While
Provisional Governor of Georgia, ho vetoed
a bill lor a relief measure, written by one of
the best men and most acute legal minds in
the State, to our certain knowledge ; and we
warn every live man, whether black or
white, from receiving or minding the advice
or teachings of Jenkins, or any one who
licks his feet. Especially do we charge
Relief men to refrain from listening to his
counsels, or regarding for a moment his
advice; and to the colored men we say, be
ware of these rebellious men, not yet whipped
enough.

2. Thou shalt not take into thy house any

is behind the liar of the rum seller.
11. Thou shalt not visit the billiard hall.
And the 12th commandment is: Thou
(shalt not stay out later than nine o’clock at

Candidate?!.
Aspirants ate as “thick as leaves in Vul
lumbrosia” lor every county office and for
Stale offices. Os the number already out
we counted ten in this county who can not
take the test outli, aud are wholly ineligible
to the offices they seek. What is the ttso of
this futile attempt to l>e elected when the
fact is so palpable that you can not retain (if
you should by chance be elected) the offices
for which you uspiro ? AVc have hut one
word to say to the voters of our State : A'oto
only for your nominees, who you know are
Republicans, aud who are all right—and
vote for no one else.
A.hburu’a Assassination.
The Columbus Sun A' Times and Enquirer
being so reticent—having failed to publish
the names ol the parties arrested and held to
answer for the murder of lion. G. W. Ash
burn— wo have becu furnished with the fol
lowing list of names for publication, which
we give verbatim el literatim as given to us :
“W. Cash, a policeman ; Roper, a police’
man ; Bedell, a cashier in the Bank ;
Bed*ll, a merchant ol the city ;
Chipley, a merchant of the city ; T. Grimes,
a young lawyer and candidate for the Legis
lature ; Dr. Kirkscay, a prominent physician;
J. Ennis, a clerk in a hardware store ; Jns.
Barber, wharfage collector, and a candidate
for Clerk of Superior Couit; J, Steverson ;
John AVells, a negro b'aeksmith ; John Mc-
Henry, a negro merchant; Jas. Stapely, a
negro merchant.
Now, whether thc?e men ar epartieeps crim
inis or not, we know not, but we are some
what astonished that there should have been
so much reticence on the part of our cotem
poraries as to fail to give the names of the
parties arrested, and against whom suspicion
rests for the foal crime: Public justice, the
morals o: the country, and the restraint upon
the commission of crimes, ali call for public
exposition of parti*?, be they higli or low,
rich or poor. Even, if need be, the very
altar should be approached to rend from its
ministrations those who assume to*be apostolic
vicars upon earth. These are our senti
ments freely expressed, and until the press
stands out in bold and undaunted front, we
shall not have a fair chance to repress crime,
because of the suppression of the names of
those who engage at midnight in the nefari
ous business.
Farrow on Alston.
Read the following letter of Colonel H. P.
Farrow, still offering the SI,OOO reward for
that letter :
[For the Intelligencer.
41,000 Reward.
My attention lias been called to a card in your
issue of tliis morning, over the signature of “R.
A. Alston,” in which the following language is
used:
“I have just read 11. P. Farrow s reply to Mr.
Hill’s letter, in which Farrow denies that he ever
wrot* words attributed to him by Mr. Hill. I
have heard from undoubted authority that Farrow
did write said letter to Cary W. Stiles, and I lirst
saw it published in the Albany News."
Col. Alston does not assert that I wrote said
letter, but simply asserts that ‘*l have heard from
undoubted authority that Farrow did write said
letter,” and I therefore content myself with simply
requesting Col. Alston to say to the individual to
whom he alludes as “undoubted authority" that
I have already given the lie to tlie statement made
by Mr. Hill that l wrote said letter, and have
offered one thousand dollars reward for the forged
paper and the villain who forged it The lie is
still out, and so is the rcirnrd.

General Orders , No. 57.
I. The numerous resignations of Sheriffs of coun
ties in the State of Georgia, that have recently
been tendered at these Headquarters, coming on
the eve of an important election, and when there
is not sufficient time to make new appointments,

will not be accepted, and that Sheriff's who have
been so long holding their office at the sufferance
of the Commanding General, will not he permitted

punishment of civil officers for disobedience of

11. Inasmuch as a numerous class of llio electors
of this State are, from necessity at present-, de; end

they may earn daily bread for themselves and their

made at these Headquarters that such laborers
will he intimidated from voting at the approaching
election by fear of the loss of employment, employ
ers are hereby forbidden any attempt to control
the action or will oftlieir laborers as to voting, by

General Orders No, 58.
I. Thu uncertainty which seems to exist in re
gard to holding municipal elections on the 20th
ins!., and the frequent inquiries addressed to these
Headquarters, renders it necessary for the Com
manding General to announce that said elections
lire not authorized by any orders from these Head

II Complaints having been made to these Head

being made that in case of refusal penalties will be
attached to said refusal; the Major General Com
manding announces that all sncii attempts to con

CONGRESSIONAL.
TUB IMPEACHMENT.
Washington, April 13. Senate —A
motion to amend the rules to allow additional
speeches was tabled.
Stevens, Williams, Boutwull and Logan
were disappointed.
Stevens and Williams made special ap
peals for a hearing.
Sherman recalled Stanberry and asked
whether, after Stanton’s restoration,the good
of the service required another man than
Stanton at the head of the War Department,
Butler objected.
Bingham said “if Sherman's opinion
governed forty thousand other men’s opinion
he might be called.”
Butler spoke at some length. He warned
the Senators that Stanberry’s struggle would
be renewed to days Several questions were
asked by the Senators, and a general debate
ensued.
Evarts said they desired to show that the
President’s action was for the good of the
service, based on the opinions of honest and
intelligent officers.
The Senate refused to hear the answer—
yeas, only fifteen.
Davis voted nay. Sprague and Saulsberry
were absent. Fowler, Grimes, Ross, Trum
bull, Van Winkle voted aye.
Senator Johnson asked : “Did you at any
time, and when before Stanton’s removal,
advise the President to appoint another
person ?”
Butler objected. •
Chase decided that the question pro
pounded by tho Senator could only be
objected to by the Court.
Drake objected.
The Senate refused to hear an nnswer
by 18 to 32. The Republicans voting aye
were as follows: Anthony, Edmunds,
Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Henderson,
Ross, Trumbull and Van AVinkle.
General Sherman left the stand, and the
Court took a recess.
The Clerk of the District Supreme Court
was called. After a contest, tho proceed
ings attending Thomas’ arrest were ad
mitted.
Sherman was recalled at the instance of
Senator Johnson, who asked : “When did
the President tender you the office of
Secretary of War?”
On the 20th and 30th of January.
“Did lie state what his purpose in so do
ing was ? ’
Objection.
The Senate heard the answer—26 to 22.
Answer—yes.
Senator Johnson asked, f ‘ will you state
what lie said his purpose was ?” Objection.
Chase decided the question was admissi
ble, as it tended to show in part the Presi
dent’s action.
Chase was sustained—2G to 25.
Sherman commenced, when Butler inter
rupted him, but Sherman thought best to
proceed in his own way.
The President told Sherman that under
the relations of Stanton toward other mem
bers of the Cabinet and President, the Presi
dent could not have the War Department
administered properly, in the interest of the
array and whole country, while Stanton re
mained Secretary.
In a desire to promote and care for those
interests, the President tendered Sherman
the position of Secretary of War. Sherman
asked the President why he didn’t have the
ease made up by his lawyers so as to bring
about a change without involving witness
ns an officer of the army in the matter.
The President replied that it could not be
done, but if it could be brought before
the Court, Stanton’s ease wouldn't stand an
hour.
Stanberry asked a question, but Butier
objected. Chase ruled that Stanberry could
ask a question relative to the facts elicited
by Senator Johnson’s question of appeal.
A debate ensued, pending which, Butler
asked whether the question was put by the
Senator from Maryland as counsel for the
President ?
Mr. Johnson rose from his seat, and ad
ministered to Butler a sharp rebuke.
Butler was abashed.
Finally, Sherman proceeded.
At the first interview, nothing very defi
nite was said by either. During the second
the President expressed a desire to have the
constitutionality of the Tenure-of-Ofiice bill
tested. He told Sherman that Stanton would
offer no resistance. Sherman didn't know
Stanton as well as the President knew him.
Stanton is a coward.
Sherman gave no poaitive answer, but
answered in writiug.
Senator Henderson asked : “Did the
President, on either occasion, express a firm
determination to remove Stanton from
office.”
Sherman answered—The President never
expressed his intention to use force, but
seemed determined that their relations should
cease.
Senator Howard asked, what did the Pres
ident say about force? Sherman repeated
the President’s belief that Stanton would
not resist.
Henderson asked whether Sherman gave
the President any advice. The Senate re
fused to hear an answer.
The Managers summoned Shermuu for
to morrow, and lie left the stand.
Evidence regarding Thomas’ arrest was
resumed, and the Senate adjourned.
Indian Troubles.
Washington, April 12—Parties from tlie
West agree in the apprehending of a general
Indian war this summer, in consequence of
unfulfilled treaties.
The Indians are starving in the neighbor
hood of Fort Benthold—eating their horses
and dogs.
Ket Wbst, April 12. —It is reported that
the Indians in Florida have declared war
against the whiles. Outrages are reported.
Speculation*.
Atlinta, April 13.—General Meade
issues an order requiring Registrars to
receive the votes of thoee whose names
have been stricken from the lists without
proper cause. He will not permit fraud in
registeriug. The municipal elections are
not to come off on the twentieth. The
negroes are not to be forced by either party
to vote, but must be left alone.
Enthusiasm throughout the State for
Gordon is increasing and the Democratic
party arc gaining ground. It is believed
by prominent politicians that the Constitu

to quell the disturbance.

committee of the whole to the Impeachment
Court.
Washburn gave notice that he would make
a call of the House, on Thursday, for busi
ness.
Objection was made to print the speeches
ol Butler and Curtis in the same pamphlet.
The impeachment managers are urging
an amendment to the rules to allow unlim
ited speeches.
The defence was prepared to prove had
the testimony been admitted that Sherman
advised the formation and indicated the
limits of the Department of the Atlantic.
A nc-gro barn burner has been hanged in
