E Storm Yesterday, I At about half past one yesterday, we had Is vehement storm of wind and rain—first I coming from the Northeast, and veering I around to Southwest. For awhile we ■ thought the clerk of the weather, in a vindic- I tive spirit, was about to blow down and wet things generally. Umbrellas were nowhere, and water and wiud was abundant, especially foe latter, which, from what wc have learned vas only equalled by the “shyster” blow ingat Factory Bridge on Saturday night last. The storm extended about thirty miles up the Georgia Railroad, which the Shyster failed to do. Thomson, To-Day. "c learn that the Rev. W. J. Cowart will speak at the above place to day— lutmerly known in other days as the Cherokee Bull” of Rashan. He tried "soul saving” as long as his church would allow him to do so, and for several years has been browsing about in Atlanta and other places amongst the “slstering,” and now is bellowing about the country for Cordon and the new light Democracy.

Choose ye ! 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. Wile’s Commandnicntn. 1. Thou shalt have no other wife but me. 2.

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.

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, makes it proper and necessary for the Command ing Genera) to give notice that such resignations 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 to resign until after said election is over; and they are hereby required to continue in the faithful per f• nuance of their official duties until relieved from the same by orders from these Headquarters.

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 tion will be defeated.

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.
