Murk Rascality.—We published iu our paper yesterday an extract from General Meade’s order, showing that the Registrars if. re bound by that order to open the poll boxes at two places in each county in addition to those opened at the county site. — Chronicle <f- Sentinel, 1 Sth. lief illation ! ! A Synopsis ok General Mkadk’s Elkc- Tiov Order.—The Polls are to be opened after due and sufficient notice at as many points in each county, not exeeding three, as in the opinion of said Boards may be required.— Chronicled • Sentinel, 18/A. Comment would be superfluous. Pvrioanl. “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 seven feet in height, and weighs less than two 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? “The Wicked IT ce When no lion Pur»uclli.” llox. Robert Toomiis. — This gentlcmnu, we learn, will leave at an early day for England, where he goes to attend an impor tant law suit in which bo is interested.— Rra. Does not the gentleman fear the result of the impeachmont? Yon had better leave, 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 ot the Government for the year cndingJnne thirty, eighteen hundred and sixty eight, and for other purposes,” which section provides as fol ■ lows; 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 olina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Akan sas, ono or more newspapers, not exceeding the number now allowed by law, in which such treaties find laws of the United States as may lie ordered for publication in newspapers according to law shall bo published, and in some one or inoro of which so selected all such advertise ments as may be ordered for publication in said districts, by any United States Court, or Judge thereof; or by any Officer of such Courts, or by any Executive Officer of the United States, shall bo published, the compensation for which, * * * shall be fixed by said Clerk at a rate not exceeding one dollar per squaro of eight linos of space, for the publication of advertisements, the accounts for which shall be adjusted by tho prop r accounting officers, and paid in the man ner now authorized by law in tho like cases.

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. The defense closed, reserving right to call other witnesses in case Stanbery—who knew most of the matter, but was sick—thought best. Court adj ourned. House returned but did no business. Revenue to-day, $469,000 ; for the week, $2,320,000 ; for the year, $150,000,000. Political. Washington, April 18. —Tho campaign is closing amid unparalelled excitement, both parties arc making desperate efforts. Business will be almost suspended during the election, commencing on Tuesday. In the cities and large towns the negroes will vote the Republican ticket almost cn masse, while in the country districts a con siderable number will remain away from the polls. The vote will exceed that cast on the Convention question at least 75,000 total. The Registration vote is now nearly 200,000. The Republicans say that tho ratification of the Constitution will bring peace and pros perity, but the Conservatives, consisting of four fifths of the white meu of the State, de mand its rejection. Marine Disaster. Mobile, April 18.—The ship Albert Gallatin was struck by lightning and burned to the water, in the bay, yesterday morning. Three thousand one hundred bales cotton were destroyed. Loss nearly a million dollars—insured principally in Liverpool. After all hopes of saving tho vessel was given up, tile vessel was scuttled and sunk in three fathoms of water. Virginia. Richmond, April 18.—The Convention adjourned at midnight, subject to the call of the Committee. Only the President and Secretary signed the Constitution, a resolution having been adopted dispensing with signing by members. It is understood that the Conservatives would have refused to sign it. Among the Republicans who voted against final adoption of Constitution was 011 c negro. After adjournment speeches were made. I orter, a leading Republican, predicted adoption of Constitution by a large majority. Snead and Allen, two leading Republi cans, predicted a defeat of the Constitu tion, and said it would be deserved. Snead opposed it merely on the ground of its fraudulent character in the homestead exemption, and Allen because it places white men under the negro. Gen. Schofield to day suspended J. S. Calvert, State Treasurer, on charges pre ferred by the Governor, and appointed Geo Rye, Secretary of the Convention, Treasurer ad interim. John L. Pendleton, Superintendent of the State Prison, was removed and Bur burn Wardwcll appointed in his place. The Conservative Exocutive Committee, last night, called a State Convention, to meet here on 7th of May, to nominate State officers. Tho final vote on the adoption of the Constitution in the Convention, last night, was 51 to 28—four Republicans voting against it. From Columbus.
