About fivo o’clock yesterday afternoon, as
one ol the workmen, Mr. Dwyer, was en
gaged in tapping the gas pipe, on Ellis
street, near Odd Fellows' Ilall, the gas
exploded in tha excavation, knocking him
senseless. He was drawn out and conveyed
to an adjoining yard, where he was soon
attended by Drs. Swiuney and Proctor.
When restored to conciousness he was taken
home in a carriage. Mr. Dwyer, we learn,
belongs in Charleston, and has been for two
weeks in the employ of the Gas Company of
this city.

“Bullock, the Express man.” “Bullock
is no lawyer.” —Obstruction papers.
Colonel Bullock is a gentleman, and his
refinement and superiority are as a consum
ing fire to the ill-bred and vulgar wretches
who assail him. The secret of all the vile,
denunciatory clamor poured out upon him, is
to be found in the fact that he was not rocked
in an aristocratic cradle, lapped in vicious
luxuriousness, nor fed with a golden spoon,
lie is a man become eminent by virtue of
his inherent excellencies and powers—self
made, and one of the finest intellects in the
•State, lie is ol the people, and lor the peo
ple ; by them he is to be trusted, and will bo
honored by election as their Governor.
Tfcctiaiii<-<i.
llow many mechanics are living in Geor
gia to whom money is owing, and who can
not get it because the men for whom they
labored would not pay them ? The new Con
stitution, upon which the people are soon to
vote, remedies this evil. The Constitution
provides that the General Assembly shall
provide for giving to mechanics a sufficient
lien on the subject matter of their labor.
Heretofore, labor has been degraded;
hereafter, it will be honorable.
Hail Policy.--“ The Post Cause.”
The Republican party has separated the
white and black amalgamation, and intend
to keep them so by law. But don t the Ob
structionists howl for the “lost cause” ? The
Democratic amalgamators need not to try to
hide their cloven feet by charging upon the
Republican party that “social equality” which
they have been boldly practising for many
years—even as long as we have been accus
tomed to gaze upon the fine points of marked
relationship the scores of bright mulattoes
around us bear to the men who are howling
about “nigger equality-”
Caution I
A certain “Mr. Wright” and another Ob
structionist, from this city, have been detec
ted in a very dirty trick. These worthies
and their emissaries have carried to different
places in the county a “ticket” containing
the names of their candidates, headed “For
the Constitution”-—thus seeking to impose
upon the unlettered freedmen.
We caution the colored voters, elsewhere,
to be cautious. Be sure you know the men
who offer you tickets, and refuse those not
offered by well known Republicans.
This “sharp” trick explains the desire of
the Ku Klux organ to have polls opened in
the rural districts.
“Sliarp.”
The Constitutionalist yesterday stumbled
upon another truth—it pronounced the lion.
Foster Blodgett as being “sharp.” We
think, however, a great many people will
agree in the opinion that it did not require a
prophet to hit upo*n a truth so palpable,
Our benevolent poet-editor also volunteers
some prosy advice to “the little man” # en
gaged in the removal of disabilities from
Republican candidates; and while Mr.
Blodgett is doubtless grateful for this ex
hibition of interest in his welfare, wc venture
to assure his sympathising friend that he
“knows what he is about.”
*lhc oditor of tlie CoiiGtitulioitalist is not over

hundred and fifty pound?.
Think of It.
If you vote “against” the Constitution, you
vote for the party that forced Georgia out of
the Union, plunged her into a miserable war,
conscripted the loyal men, hunting them
down with dogs and shooting them like
cattle-
Vote “against” the Constitution, and you
vote for the men who provided pay for the
rich man’s negroes killed or died in service,
and looked without a shudder upon the
naked, starving white soldier and his poor
children.
Vote “against” the Constitution, and you
vote lor the “high toned chivalry” who have
always held the reins of government, and
passed laws for the benefit of slave holders
and large land onwers, and never—never—
made one step to elevate the mechanic or
working man in society, or to make liis labor
honorable, or to reward liis efforts towards
political advancement, by promoting him to
high and responsible positions.
Vote “agaiust” the Constitution, and you
vote for the party that continues to hold
meetings for the purpose ot keeping up strife
and discord, and loudly declares that mili
tary despotism, or another bloody war, is
preferable to a government in the hands ol
the working class “without birth or position,’,
no matter how well qualified iu other
respects.
Vote “against” the Constitution, aud you
vote against the progress of the State—you
vote that she shall not prosper, her resources
shall remain paralyzed, her commercial
prosperity shall be retarded, and her people
shall remain impoverished.
I cople ol Georgia-—people whose watch
word is Progress—lmw will you decide?

Does not the gentleman fear the result of

Robert, before “Old Ben” gets after yon.
Despicable.
The disunion News it- Herald, of .Savan
nah, ignoring the Scriptural doom pro
nounced against all liars, treated its “colored
friends,” in its Friday’s issue, to not less
than live downright falsehoods concerning
Colonel Bullock. We give a specimen,
which would cause a blush, perhaps, even
upon the brazen countenance of its compa
triot, the LaCrossc Democrat:
4th. Bullock advocates punishing all
who will not vote the Radical ticket. Ho 13
in favor of the gallows, cow hiding and whip
ping to death with hand saws, all negroes
who do not veto for him.
We place this choice lie upon record, for
future historians to judge of the desperation
to which the unrepenting Disunionists of to
day are reduced in their opposition to a
noble Union man, who is laboring for the
restoration and prosperity of Georgia. Ver
ily, after a few more efforts, the author of
the above will he entitled to take rauk
alongside of the hitherto unapproachable
and illustrious Shyster of Augusta.
A Marc’s Nosl Dihcevered.
The Savannah NewS, of the IStli instant,
labors to get up an excitement, from false
premises. Somewhat chagrined at the loss
ot official patronage, iu the shape of United
States Marshal’s sales, it virtuously allude*
to -‘the enormous frauds sought to he prac
tised by the mongrel crew of adventurers in
Augusta,” and would have the public be
lieve that on the preceding day, “before His
Honor Judge Erskinc, the matter was
brought up for investigation, when His
Honor appointed R. K. Hines, Judge Nisbet,
and Henry Williams, Esq., a committee to
investigate the subject, and report to the
court what can be done in the premises.”
The News further alleges that “in one
case a bill of Seven Hundred and Ninety
Dollars was rendered for advertising ten
lines of one square each; iu another, Ninety
Dollars was demanded for otic levy, and
others in proportion.”
Such an assertion, of course, carries con
tradiction on its face, when it is reinembsred
that the rates of advertising such notices
ate fixed by law.
The simple facts in this matter, which we
obtain from an eye-witness, arc as follows:
An application was made to the Court, by
R. K. Hines, Erq., for an order in regard to
the publication of Marshals' sales, how long
they should be published, and whether daily
or weekly. It was stated that it was the
practice of the Marshal to publish such sales
daily for thirty days.
On the motion being made the Court ap
pointed a Committee of the Bar, consisting
of Hon. E. A. Nisbet, Henry Williams, Esq.
R. K. Hi ties, Esq. and Col. Frank S. Ileßsel
tine, to inquire into the.legality of limiting
the advertisement of Marshals’ sales to week
ly instead of daily insertion.
The Committee reported as follow!;
“ That from and after this date all
advertisements for the sale* of property
under writs of execution issuing from this
Court shall be published in the newspapers
selected for that purpose, in pursuance of
the act of Congress of 2d of March, 1887,
once a week for thirty days, instead of
daily, as heretofore.”
Upon hearing the report, the Court
remarked that it had examined the several
statutes in relation to this question, and
was satisfied that once a week was all the
law required.
Whereupon the report of said Committee
was made a rule of Court.
No question of cost for advertising was
before the Court.
For the information of our amiable cotem
porary at the seaboard, “and the rest of
mankind,” wo append an extract from a
Circular issued from the Wav Department at
Washington, bearing date April 13, 1887 :
In pursuanco of Soction Seven (7) of the Act
approved March 2, 1807, entitled “An Act
making appropriations for sundry civil expenses

other purposes,” which section provides as fol ■

Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That it
shall be the duty of the Clerk of the House of
Representatives to select in Virginia, South Car

number now allowed by law, in which such

to law shall bo published, and in some one or
inoro of which so selected all such advertise

thereof; or by any Officer of such Courts, or by

threats of discharge have been made against
them if they voted the Republican ticket.
We hope the colored men have risked every
such attempt to intimidate them, and will
promptly report the names of all parties who
have stooped to this iow, mean, despicable
and unmanly subterfuge to deter any one
from exercising the rights given them to

J. B. I Vilson, President Board of Registra

The privilege of voting, as guaranteed to

Dublin, April 18. — The Prince of Wales

The Impeachment Trial.
Wasiuxuton, April 18.—Colfax took the
Chair informally before the hour of meeting,
and with such members as were present
accompanied the managers to the Court.
The discussion was resumed on the question
of the admission of the Cabinet proceed
ings—^Wilson reading his speech. Curtis
tollowcd Chase, and decided that the evi
dence was admissable, and the vote being
taken, resulted in its being excluded. Tlie
vote stood twenty to twenty eight.
[second dispatch.]
Washington, April 18.—The impeach
ment trial was continued.
The announcement of the vole tele
graphed at noon was followed by a general
rising in the Senate.
After ten minutes the counsel announced
that they were ready to resume when
sufficient quiet was restored.
Chase rapped probably five times before
be succeeded in restoring order.
This is the first time during the trial that
these irregularities have occurred, and the
importance of the Y’ote may be inferred
therefrom There was no applause or wild
demonstration, but simply a rising from
seats. _ Every one seemed inclined to ask
his neighbor what lie thought now.
Tlie vote was as follows; Yeas—
Anthony, Bayard, Buckalew, Doolittle,
Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Henderson,
Hendricks, Johnson, McCreery, Patterson
(of Tennessee), Ross, Saulsbury, Trumbull,
Van Winkle, Vickers and Wiliy—2o.
Nays—Cameron, Conness, Chandler, Cole,
Conkling, Cottrell, Corbett, Cragen, Drake,
Edmunds, Ferry, Frelinghuysen, Harlan,
Howard, Howe, Morgan, Morrill (o! Maine),
Morrill (of Vermont), Patterson (of New
Hampshire), Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sherman,
Sprague, Stewart, Thayer, Tipton, Williams,
Wilson, and Yates—29.
This question involved the support of the
President by the Cabinet in view of the
violation of the Constitution, in removing
Stanton and appointing Thomas.
The next question was stated as follows :
We offer to prove that, at the meetings of
the Cabinet (Mr. Stanton being present),
when the Tenure—of-Oflice bill came up for
consideration, the question was asked and
the opinion expressed that Mr. Stanton and
the other Cabinet officers appointed by Mr.
Lincoln, did not come under its restrictions.
Chase again decided the evidence admis
sible.
Drake appealed, and the appeal was sus
tained by 22 to 26.
On this vote, Sprague and Sherman voted
with tho minority.
The next question was, whether tho Cabi
net argued injury to the service by Stanton’s
continuance.
The Senate refused to hear the evidence
lay 19 to 31.
On this vote, Willy voted with the ma
jority.
Wells was then subjected to a severe
cross examination, but nothing new was
elicited.
Postmaster General Randall was then
called.
Blodgett was suspended from Augusta
Post Office without the knowledge of or con
sultation with the President.
Randall knew of no appointment of persons
in his department who coaid not take test
oath, and Blodgett was suspended because
of his indictment for getting office by per
jury.
