Gordon, of Fulton county, as the Democratic candidate for Provisional Governor of Georgia, under and by virtue of the unconstitutional Recon struction acts . Chronicle & Sentinel. For the benefit of the ignoramuses who Compose the Macon regency, we publish an extract from the LAW. “SUPPLEMENTARY RECONSTRUC TION ACT OF CONGRESS, PASSED JULY' 19tii, 1807 “Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That * '* * all persons hereafter elected * * * to office in said military districts * * * shall be required to take-the oath of office prescribed by law, for officers of the United States.” The oath referred to is that commonly known as the “test” (or “iron-clad”) oath GEN. GORDON'S ELIGIBILITY. The Tory papers profess to believe that if Gen. Gordon is elected, he will be able to take his seat. Now, if the programme is carried out according to the dictates of their oracle, IJen. Hili.—if they arc going to elect Gordon and defeat the Constitu tion—it is plain that Gordon, if elected, will find no seat to take. The very in strument which creates the office to which he may be elected, will be destroyed by the action of those w ho elected him. But there are symptoms that they sec the folly of their policy, and arc going to cut loose from Him, and the demagogues who give them such ridiculous counsel. They are going, it is suspected, to pretermit their opposition to the Constitution, and even help to ratify it. They intend to nullity the most important provisions of l the Constitution through Gordon as Gov ernor. lie has already declared his hos tility to it, and is not likely to forego that hostility should he unfortunately get into office. Those who vote for ratification, and at the same time vote for Gordon, might as well vote against ratification squarely and at once. We have two guarantees against the danger of Gordon’s election, if such dan ger existed. First, those who arc in favor of ratification can make the cause of the Union successful beyond a doubt by voting for the Constitution and the only candidate for Governor who is its un doubted friend, will guard and defend it, and will appoint officers who will carry it into execution in good faith. To vote for Gordon and tlic Constitution is to vote against ratification. Wc have another, but weaker guarantee against the evils of Gordon’s election in his incapacity to take his office. He will be required to take the test oath, as will all officers elected nt the election close at hand. Can he solemnly swear that he has never voluntarily borne arms against the United States, or given aid, countenance, or en couragement to the armed enemies there of ? Can he, a paroled prisoner of war, at large only by the sufferance of the Gov ernment, be Governor ? Can lie who, since his removal to another State, has not acquired citizenship in Georgia, hold the highest office in the State under any of its Constitutions ? They pretend to say that Gen. Meade lius declared Gordon eligi ble. We doubt it. Either the question was never stated to Gen. Meade, or it was stated falsely. But it is safest for those who are in 1 favor of the Constitution and of tlic resto ration of tlie Union, with peace and pros perity, to rely only on a square rote for Bt’LUkf e and for ratification—to YOtn for a friend of the Constitution whose deter mination to carry it into effect cannot lie doubted, rather than for its deelarcd and open enemy, even though he nifty Ik? in eligible. At this erisis, it is eminently dangerous to run any risk. TO CANDIDATES To judge by the strings of announcements of Democratic candidates iu our cotempora ries, in every section of the State, the new Constitution is not such a terrible thing after all. These patriotic gentlemen cer tainly caHnot believe that the Constitution is so odious or illegitimate as the Macon Re gency assert. Nor can they believe the assertion of Ben Hill, that it cannot stand. YVe do not wonder at their not believing Ilill—they know him too well; and we are glad to see so many Democrats running for offices under the Constitution; it is a sure sign they meau to support it, or it is proba ble they would not undergo the worry of being candidates. But to adhere to Gor don, whom those who declared their enmity to tho Constitution before it was created are striving to elect for the purpose of destroying it, is the height of folly. -4 CONTRAST. In the case of Darcy McGee, the Canadian politician, assassinated on the 7th instant, the Canadian authorities have already found the murderer and are accumulating the most convincing evidence against him. In the case of Ashbukn, the Georgia politician, assassinated a week earlier, the military and civil authorities seem entirely at fault. McGee's assassination was perpetrated in tho dark, by a single assassin, and the detection was, therefore, the more difficult. Y’et, the murderer has been detected, and will expiate his crime, as lie should. In the case of Asihiurx, the murder, though perpetrated at midnight, was done iu tho presenre of twenty or thirty persons, participants and witnesses; and some of the murderers were recognized. Y'et, if the assassins have been detected at all, they have been released upon a paltry bail. It may be that the persons arrested in the Asiibuiin ease were innocent, and that the proof against them was insufficient. If so, how came they to bo arrested? If there was proof against them to justify their arrest, there was sufficient to justify their being hold in custody or being bailed in a sufficient amount to answer the ends of jus tice. Either they never should have been arrested, or they’ should have been held to answer in such bonds as were not a mockery. Both these men were slain for their political opinions. Docs a monarchical gov eminent protect the lives of its citizens more thoroughly than a Republican ? Has the latter no power to detect crime and punish it? If so, it does not answer the ends for which all governments were established. Peaceable men and good citizens will soon begin to inquire if a government which cannot fulfil the pur poses for which it was created is worth the price paid for its support—if a government which permits personal violence and homicide, and at the same time forbids self-defence, is not a ghostly farce. [From the Constitutionalist. A “CONSISTENT UNION .MAN." “The Radical Press and stump orators maintain that R. 15. Bullock, their candi date for Governor, was a consistent Union man during the war. As he has not denied the claim, it is to lie taken as endorsed by himself. “If he was a Union man in 1861, why did he voluntarily engage in the capture of the Augusta Arsenal ?” Read the orders of Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, Commander-in-Chief, and you will see, as you already know, that R. B. Bullock did not “voluntarily engage in the capture of the Augusta Arsenal.” II he was a Union man, why did he not avail himself of the liberty granted to all consistent Union men, by the Confederate government, of passing through the lines unmolested to the section he approved of and adored ? Mr, Bullock did not “approve of and adore” any see!ion of our common country. He preferred Union to disunion, hut when the General Government withdrew its pro tection, it was not his duty to follow after the Government. “If he was a firm and consistent Union man, wishing the North success and the South calamity, when, where and to whom, did he so proclaim ?” Consilient Union men did not “wish the North success and the South calamity.”— Consistent Union men desired the Union maintained, that the calamities which have befallen the South might be avoided. Mr. Bullock was a consistent Union man because he desired the good of the whole country, and to avert the evils we are now reaping from the seeds sown by secession. “If he was a consistent Union man, true to his manhood and faithful to the North, why did he accept the responsible position of Superintendent of the Confederate Mili tary Telegraph—a position enabling him to be of inestimable service to the Government that appointed him, and of incalculable injury, il faithfully filled, to the cause lie now swears he was true to? Mr- Bullock did not accept, and' never hchl “the position of Superintendent of the Confederate Military Telegraph.” “ Either It. B. Bullock was not a consistent Union man, craving tho victory of the North and the overthrow of the South, or ho voluntarily and hypocritically accepted an office of trust from the Con federate Government, which enabled him, it so disposed, to act the part of a spy. If a consistent Union man, there is prima faeie evidence of treachery. If not ft consistent Union man, why seek honor* under talse pretenses ?” 1,. B. Bullock did not, cither voluntarily or hypocritically accept “an office of trust from the Confederate Government, which enabled him, if so disposed, to act the part of a spy.” “ The bullock has the horns of a dilemma on his own head. With which does lie propose to gore himself ?” It is not upon Mr. Bullock’s head that “the horns of a dilemma” rest. A slight inspection ha* shown them to be limply the long ears of the stupid an (who attempts to make an argument from false premises) in tho Constitutionalist of yester day morning. Why do no not some of the obstruction papers find fault with Mr. Bullock and disfranchise him, because the Confederate Quartermaster’s Department found it im possible to forward and deliver the sup plies of food and clothing contributed by the good people of the South to the soldiers in the field and to the sick and wounded in tho hospitals; and because this service was performed by the Express Company under Mr. Bollock’s management ? We repeat what we have said on a former occasion, that our candidate has never shirked the duty required of a good citizen, but, on the contrary, has always enjoyed the esteem and the regard ol his fellow-men. Until he ccnscntcd to assist in bringing peace and prosperity to our common country by an obedience to the laws of Congress, con trolling restoration and reconstruction, tho vsry papers which now vilify and abuse him, were teeming with compliments and flatter ing testimonials of his worth. communicated, TREASON TO REPUBLICANISM. The fundamental principles of republican ism are concisely stated by President Jeffer son in his inaugural address : “Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political ; peace, commerce, and honest friendship, with all nations entangling alliances with none. * * Absolute acqui escence iu the decisions of the majority —the vital principle of republics, from which there is no appeal but to force. “The vital principle of republics,” the “absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority,” has been set at naught by the so-called Democracy. Hence it is impossi ble for that party to administer a Republican Government in the true spirit of the system. The Democratic party destroyed itself, in 1844, by subjecting the majority, who were for Mr. Van Burcn, to the temporary rule of the minority, who were in favor of Mr. Polk and by enlarging, at a subsequent date (fresh in the minds of our people), the Ex ecutive veto so as to override the republican right of a majority of tho American people, through their chosen representatives, to enact such laws as they believe to be alike desirable aud constitutional. One-man Power has had its day in these United States. Presidential Gontrol over Congress is at an end. Traitors to the cardinal principles of our government must give place to republicans ol the school of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison. We must go back to first principles. Do this and all will be well with the South, the North, the East and the West. Richmond. THE RIGHT STAMP. It is repeatedly and presistently urged by the disunion orators and papers that Col. Bullock is a “carpet-bagger,” a man with out interest in the welfare or the prosperity of the State. On the contrary, there are few men in the Southern States more gener ally known and esteemed by the practical men—men who build Railroads, Telegraphs, etc., etc., and develope the resources of the country than Col. Bulloc. We find the fol. lowing correspondence in the Atlanta Era: Air-Line Railway—Letter from Col. Bollock.— A few days ago we took the liberty of denying the report which was being circulated in Northeast Georgia for the purpose of prejudicing the people against Col. Bullock, that he was opposed to the building of the Air-Line Railway. But to “make assurance doubly sure,” we wrote him a note directing his attention to the article, and asking whether we had correctly stated his position. As we expected, lie favors the construction of the line, and will cooperate most cordially and heartily with the people in their efforts. We publish his letter below by his permission and authority. Atlanta, April 10, 1868. Col. R. B. Bullock-. Sir—l have the honor to invite your attention to an article in tho Era of this morning, headed “Georgia Air-Line Rail way—Col. Bullock”—in which I have taken the liberty of denying a report which is being industrially circulated to your preju dice in Northeast Georgia—namely, that you are opposed to the building of the Georgia Air Line Railway. You will much oblige me and your numerous friends by informing me by letter (which I ask permission to publish) whether your position and views aro cor rectly presented in the article referred to. Very respectfully, Sam. Bard, Editor Era. Macon anu Augusca R. R. Cos ,) President's Office, l Augusta, Ga., April 12, 1868. J Dr. Bard, Editor Era: Beau Sir : In reply to your favor of the 10th instant, inviting my attention to your article, headed “Air-Line Railway,” and asking if said article correctly presents my position and views on that subject, permit me to say that my views are there correctly presented. It is only from an industrious and judi cious development of our internal resources, that we can look for general and progressive prosperity. The experience of the Western States has proved the wisdom of the policy of “State aid” in promoting the construction of Rail roads through sections of country remote from commercial centres. Thereby, the Value of taxable property is enhanced, the re sources of tho State are increased, and the products of the mine, the factory and of the farm find ready sale. The consumer of articles not made at home is benefited by the reduced cost of transportation to the merchant, who will then be enabled to exchange commodities with the producer almost at his very door. The great mineral and agricultural wealth of the Northern and Eastern sections of our State demands the early completion of the road to which you refer ; and from my knowledge of the trade and travel it will command, by reason of its connection with the system of roads now in operation from Charlotte, N. C., and from Atlanta, I am persuaded it will prove a profitable invest ment to its stockholders. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, R. B. Bullock. The Affable Bullock.—The admirers of Bullock dwell in raptures upon his smile. Richard the Th : ru was famous for the same thing. Alas Ia man may smile, and sinilo, and smile, and be a—Bui, lock. — Constitutionalist. Alas! a man may write, and write, and write, and be a—Donkey. A LIE NAILED TO THE COUNTER. The following is an extract from Governor Brown’s speech at Marietta, which effectually disposes of the falsehood propagated by the Democracy, that the Governor said that the election of Col. Bullock would bankrupt the State: A few months since he was also called to the Presidency of the Macon and Augnsta Railroad Company, owned by Southern cap italists almost exclusively. The city of Augusta, the city of Macon, and the city of Milledgeville, are, I understand, all large stockholders, as are the leading citizens along the line. Why did this company select Bullock as its President ? Because they knew he was a first rate business man, and a first rate manager ot finances. In these two companies he lias had as large a moneyed interest as the Gunces of Georgia to manage, and he has done it with eminent success. With these proofs of his ability and integrity, I am not afraid to trust him with the Treasury of the State. lam aware I have been charged with expressions to the contrary, as that the election of Bullock would bankrupt the Treasury and ruin the State. Doubtless the opposition can prove these remarks, for they can prove anything they please, but ho who says I used the expressions attributed to me, either grossly misunderstood or wilfully misrepre sents me. In charity, I prefer to suppose the former. I do not believe Col. Bullock’s election will have any such effect, and I have used no such expression to any one at any time. Another False Claim. —We see the Atlanta Opinion again claims Judge An drews, of YVilkes county, as a supporter of Gordon. It is as well to put this lie at rest. The noble veteran stands where he has always stood, on the side of the Union. Believing that Bullock and the Republican party are the only true representatives of Union principles, he votes for Bullock. He regrets that the obstinacy of the people, instigated by the politicians, has brought us into our present straits, but rather than contribute to the success of a party, which attempted to destroy the Union, and nearly ruined the Jountry, he accepts the situation. Judge Andrews votes for Bullock, and of this, his numerous friends throughout the State may rest assured. A Good Omen. —YVe consider it an omeu of undoubted success that Dr. H. V. M. Miller, who used be called tho Demosthenes of the Mountains, when he was a YVhig and Know-Nothing, has made a speech against our candidate for Governor. There never was a political cause espoused by Dr. Miller or Ben. Hill, that was not lost. Their ad herence to any party was a precursor to its dissolution. They never have been able to attain office themselves, nor to help others to office. Woe to Gordon when Ben. Hill and Dr. Miller advocate his election. ■ ■ ■■ ——■E****^——— ■■ HiMSKLr First.—A gentleman who heard Dr. Miller’s speech at Newnan, re ports that gentleman (who was with Bul lock in the Convention) charged that Bul lock said the Express Company would lose over one hundred thousand dollars unless tho relief measure should pass.—Constitu tionalist. Dr. 11. V. M. Miller is too good a lawyer, and too respectable a gentleman,ever to have been the author of so ridiculous a state ment. The “Relief” measure expressly ex cludes the Express Company from relief, as follows: Except in suits against corporations in their corporate capacity, but not so as to enforce the debt against the stockholders •r officers thereof in their individual ca pacity. The Southern Express Company is still a solvent corporation, and likely to con tinue so while the world lasts. The Bullock Skinned. —YVe learn from those present at the meeting in Greensboro, on Saturday last, that it was one of the live liest affairs of the campaign. Addresses were delivered by Gen. Gordon, Col. R. J. Cowart, and others. The speech of Col C. J3 represented to have been one of those inimitable knock down arguments peculiar to the speaker, and proved painfully disas trous to Radical hopes and prospects in that region. We are told that he “skinned” the Ilullock from the tip of his nose all the way down to his hoofs, ripping the hide off, jerked it around, and thoroughly prepared it for the “tanning” in store for it on the 20th of April. This operation was loudly applauded by the assembled multitude, a large part of that multitude being of the colored persuasion. Great enthusiasm prevailed, and a round majority will be rolled up for Gordon when the election comes. —Atlanta Intelligencer. “Knock-down argument” is the only sort the “opposite party" use. In fact, it is the only kind available against the Constitution and the Constitutional candidate, Colonel Bullock. Personal denunciation, malignant lying, and general dirt throwing, is their last resort to uphold the waning fortunes of the Gordon grinders. Farewell, Granny.—Grandfather Sneed, of the Macon 'lclegraph, is packing his car pet bag for a trip up Salt river. The tone of his abusive and vulgar sheet indicates a most inglorious defeat for Gordon. In fact, the disunion press throughout the State, generally, are chap fallen and discouraged. They have found out that the people arc for reconstruction, the Constitution, and Bul lock. We really can’t help loving Sneed, and it is our constant prayer that he may repent, reform and obtain that salvation beyond the grave which lie so little deserves. — Era. A London correspondent says : A night or two ago I observed, when in the House of Commons, a tall, middle aged man, nearly bald, enter the gallery set apart for distin guished visitors, and move nervously to the end of the bench, until motioned by the attendant to take a better seat in the centre, The features were familiar enough, but for a tew minutes I could not recall his name, It was Prince Christian, whose marriage, two or three years ago, to one of the Queen’s children, gave some offense. To this day the Prince has to keep in the background. There is a prejudice against him. He is too old, it is thought, for his wife; and then there is a story of a family which he left for the union which the Church approves. Time must hang heavily on his hands, for he lias literally nothing to do. The Prince of Wales votes him “slow,” and 'the two are rarely together. Fanny Fern would be an editor, if editor ship could be divested of all hard work, and only tho fancy touches be left for her to do. She would keep down her list of contribu tions to reasonable dimensions by refusing to leceive communications from any person who smoked or chewed tobacco, or took snuff. She would permit all subscribers, or other persons so inclined, to contribute strawber ries and other fruit, large or small, as well as bunches of flowers. Thus she would make the editorial chair ploasant as well as profit able, to tho occupaut. THE REV. DR. BELLOWS, YVho, for some months past, has been travelling in Europe and Northern Africa, writes to the Liberal Christian letters full of information and of incident, which arc perused with interest by a broad circle of readers. In the last one the Reverend Doc tor is led from the usual topics of a foreign traveller, to dwell with an earnest note of alarm upon the rapid progress which the Roman Catholic Church is now making in the United States. By way of illustrating the advances of that Church, he tells a story which he certifies to be exactly true, of a Quaker gentleman of wealth in the We3t, who became deeply enamored of a Vermont girl who had been educated in a nunnery, and had there become a Catholic. “It was agreed, ” continued Dr. Bellows, “that if children were given them, the boys should be reared in tho faith of their father, the girls iu that of their mother. The Vermont mother gave her husband ten girls, but never a son. Eight of them grew up Catholics, married influential men, and brought up their children Catholics, and in some cases brought over their husbands ; and so the Roman Chureli was recruited with Protestant wealth aud Quaker blood to a vast extent.” Such, he tells us, are the con sequences of sending Protestant girls to Roman Catholic boarding schools ! By way of preventing such calamities in future, and the worst calamities, including a religious civil war, which he foresees as coming in their train, he proposes to free the Protestant denominations from their sectarian jealousies and divisions, and unite them in compact resistance to Catholicism. “We must take immediate steps to organize Protestantism more efficiently and on less sectarian ground.” If that can be done, Dr. Bellows i3 evidently of the opinion that every Catholic girl who marries a Protestant husband and has ten children, will have boys only. These will all be educated as Prosestants, of course, and thus the course of things which now causes so much anxiety will be entirely reversed. [From the Bazar. PARISIAN FASHION NOVEL!IES. Ladies who wish to wear ear-rings, and do not wish to submit to the operation of hav ing their ears pierced, can have the orna ments hung upon a little wire which clasps the back of the ear, and will generally escape detection if carefully put on. These devices are worn by well dressed ladies in London and Paris. A pretty style of hat for evening wear is now made of feathers. One of the fashion able windows in Rue de la Paix, Paris, ha3 several of these tastefully displayed. One is made of small white feathers lapped cue over the other, each dotted with a small black bead ; another of violet feathers aud another of the dark spotted leathers of the pheasant. Thu3 there is one of violets, with face of the same shade of color to fall over the waterfall, aud also to form the strings, which are fastened together by a few violets ; another of tiny white flowers, with white lace for strings. These are all of the form which has been so long worn, that is, with out a crown, and convenient to the present style of dressing the hair. To the list of “grotesque jewelry” pub lished in the Bazar, of February 1, might be added the following devices for ear rings, which appear in the fashionable windows'of the Rue de la Paix: A horse’s bit, made of steel, with reins of gold buckled into each end and coiled in a knot. A pair of water buckets of gold, hooped with silver, hung by a gold chain which runs over a pulley. A fly of steel, or coral, climbing a ladder. A big spider, ugly as life, hanging on a fdy. A mouse trap, with mouse caught aud looking out through the golden wires. A bird cage, with bird seated upon a perch. A mouse huug by its tail. Y'enetiau blinds. A butterfly, with wings of gold lattice set with brilliants. A dog’s head, with heavy ring hanging in its mouth. A wasp, colored to the life, with a gold pin thrust through his body, which he is grasping with his six legs as if endeavoring to extricate himself. Til pin is hung by its head to the ear. , A grasshopper of gold, life size, hung by his nose. An altar-lamp in the form used to hang before the shrine of the Virgin. A naked doll, an inch and a half long, wrought in metal, in ludicrously exact imi tation ot the cheap wooden jointed dolls sold in the toy shops- Attitudes sometimes very ridiculous. A massive gilded sleigh bell, full size, or a gold strap with a score of little bells on it, in the form of a string of bells worn bv horses. Among those which certainly are more pleasing to the eyes as well as more orna mental to the fair sex, are: A golden basket containing eggs of pearl, hung by a golden ribbon. A pink enameled rose leaf, with a drop of water upon it. A shell with one pearl in the centre, and a variety of flowers in colored enamel. The street dresses of young ladies are universally made short, reaching the ankle. Ladies of middle age mostly wear long dresses looped up; and a long sweeping skirt is rarely seen in the streets.
