The Era has the very Best authority for predicting that within twenty days, at the farthest, this gentleman will be President of the United States. In consideration of this important fact, we again urge upon our people a spirit of caution and modera tion. It is very difficult to tell what fate may await the thoughtless opposers of the Government, and as we love the South and her noble sons and daughters, we say again, be wise, be moderate. The Era has accepted the terms of the Government in good faith, as the very best ones that could possibly be had under the circumstances. Why should we not all accept and make the best we can out of a bad bargain ? We are the conquered —they are the conquerors. They have the right, by the law of nations, to dictate terms, and we have the right to reject them and pay the penalty. Have we not suffered enough already? Wc think so. Then, let us he wiser in the future, and settle our troubles in the shortest and best wav possible. [From the Era. COL. R. B. BULLOCK. Wc have no disposition to disparage the candidates of the anti-Unionists. In re viewing our course during the canvass, now closing, we are gratified to find that we have not indulged in the disreputable practice of abusing them, but treated them all as geutlemen. But while glad to recognize in them citizens of ability as well as gentlemen, we are proud to know that, the reconstruction candidates are no less able, no less gentle men, no less worthy the confidence and esteem of the people. Asa gentleman and a man of ability and unimpeachable integrity, Col. Bullock is the equal of any citizen of Georgia ; while in administrative qualities he has no superior and but few equals. A remarkably successful super vision of the immense interests confided to his almost absolute control by the Express Company, embracing a territory equal to three large States; managing men of every variety of intellect, disposition and personal qualities ; examining questions ol fact, and law and equity constantly presented, afford ample testimony as to his very superior mental capacity and power. A high appreciation of these very impor tant characteristics has been manifested by his election »s President of a very important line of railway (the Macon, MiJledgcville A Augusta), whose stock is held by the heaviest and shrewdest capitalists of Augusta, Macon, and the country traversed by it. Such men would not endorse, or confide such immense interests to a man of only ordinary ability; and the sneers ol Mr. Hill and others will simply recoil with redoubled power upon themselves. The contemptible attempt made in some quarters to cast a shade on Col. Bullock s irreproachable private character, will hap pily injure those attempting it more than it will him. It is the shameful device of des perate men upholding a desperate cause. It has been reported that Col. Bullock has threatened, it elected, to visit his revenge upon such as may have been prominent in opposing his election. lie has said no such thing—made no such ungenerous and un becoming utterance. His whole courie has been one of conciliation, and his bearing, together with what is known of his character, give the lie to the report. Col. BdlloC*, himself, prouounces the report false, and authorizes us to brand it so. If elected, Colonel Bullock will not be the Governor of a party, but of the State of Georgia. He will appoint, or give his in fluence toward electing, to the different offices, men whose moral character, integrity and capacity qualify them to fill the positions with credit to the State, and with au eye single to the good of the State. He will enter upon his duties with a profound sense ol his responsibility, and with a determina tion to discharge them without fear or favor, and for the best and highest interests of nil; and with a heart not only free from malice and ill will, but overflowing with kindness and good will toward all his fellow citizens. Such a man challenges admiration, and is entitled to high position. He will make a Governor of which the great aud glorious old Commonwealth of Georgia will have reason to he proud. [From our Special Correspondent. LETTER FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, D. C., April 15, 18(38. The impeachment trial, if not so interest' ing to the general public as heretofore, is vastly more so to legal men and persons who take any particular interest in the results. The latitude allowed the counsel for the President, and the irregular votes by the Senate ou the admission of evidence call forth very general criticism. While the political friends of the President find little or nothing to commend in the proceed} ings, the President himself, it is stated, has during the last week, expressed both sur prise and satisfaction at the impartial course of the court. It could hardly be expected that a mixed body like the Senate, composed as it is of professional men and laymen, should always be strictly and technically regular in its ruling, or always conform to the'strict rules of evidence. The very fact that the body is sometimes inconsistent shows a desire on the part of a majority o( the Senators to be impartial, and if there is any bias at all, it is in favor of the de fendant. For instance, on Tuesday, it was decided lo admit testimony showing the private views of the accused as expressed to General Sherman; when, on the Saturday before, the same testimony had been ruled out, and a majority of the counsel wished to withdraw the witness ; but Mr. Stanbery, who has a pretty thorough knowledge of human nature, persisted in making a fresh effort, aud achieved a success of which any lawyer might well feel proud- The only barm to result from the introduction of such testimony is, that it opens the door wide for the admission of irrelevant matters, which, if persisted in, there would be no end to the trial. Bnt I suspect the Senators were particularly desirous to admit the testimony of General Sherman, knowing, as all did, just what it would be, to preclude the possi bility of a charge of unfairness, for the testimony in itself has no special importance. It is not probable that any more such testimony will be admitted, howdVcr. The Senators were also influenced somewhat in this exceptional course possibly, to admin ister a slight rebuke to manager Butler. Being a man of strong resentment, and having many personal indignities to resent, when a man like Thomas is placed in his power as a witness, he shows no mercy, and pursues a course of cross examination which hardly comports with the dignity that should characterize all the proceedings of a high court of impeachment. The people care more about eliciting the whole truth thau securing conviction only by strictly following the rules of evidence; and acting upon this belief, the court being a law unto itself, has allowed considerable latitude on both sides EXPORTS and imports. Bureau of Statistics. Mr. Delmar’s Monthly Report is just issued. He furnishes the following statist'es of imports and ex port;-. The Pacific ports arc included: I'ARMS IN ARKANSAS. Commissioner Wilson, of the General Land Office, has just received returns from the local office at Clarksville, Arkansas, showing that during the month of February last two hundred and fourteen farms, com prising 13,295 acres, were added to the productive area of the State of Arkansas, under the Homestead Act of June 21st, 18‘GG, During the ironth of March 16,493 acres were taken up at Sioux City, lowa, and 10,073 acres at Ironton, Missouri, the greater portion with Agricultural College scrip, and the remainder, tinder the Home stead law, are sold for cash. The Rev. Dr. Gurley, of the New York Avenue IYvsljyteriau Church, sails for California at an early day to recruit his health. In the case of Gen. Thomas vs. Stanton, for trespass (damages $150,000), the de fendant, through counsel, has plead “not guilty.” It is expected the ease may be placed on the calendar—“some time or other,” says a Copperhead. De Maul!, who was supposed to have been killed by tho K. K. K.'s, about the time Ashburn was assassinated in Colum bus, Ga., has been heard from. He was more scared than hurt. TIIK NEW DEPARTMENT created by the President, and of which General Hancock has been appointed com mander, is attracting especial attention, and particularly because it will involve an estimated extra and unnecessary annual expenditure of about $1,000,000. Every body is puzzled to know what the new District has been cyeated for, unless it is, as before stated, the President intends to resist Congress if convicted. The Depart ment, as organized, is second only in importance to the AVar Department itself, and much more extensive than Army Headquarters. The President is quite indignant with the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial for publishing what purports to be the substance of a conversa tion between the President and the correspondent, in which Grant and Thomas are both accused of using intoxicating drinks to excess. It appears that the President was in one of his mellow, voluble moods, and expressed himself without reserve, and forgetting how his language would appear when printed. He does not deny that he made the statement sub stantially as published, but seems to think it was, or should have been, private. THE PRICE OP RATIONS. An erroneous impression has gon abroad as to the cost of rations issued to Freedmen. Thirty cents is the regular commutation for a soldiers’ rations, but the rations issued lo Freedmen, consisting only of meal and bacon, does not generally cost more than six cents each. THE REGISTRATION of voters commenced in this city on Mon day last, and indicate thus far an increased number of colored voters. Both parties arc fully organized, and great efforts arc being made to have every person registered who has legal residence here. It is not supposed that the colored population has increased any since last year, but as is well known, thousands of men through various causes did not then register. THE GAMBLING HOUSES I'OR LADIES just noticed in these letters, have attracted the attention of the authorities, and an effort i« being made to correct the evil. One of the houses it la reported has already been closed to avoid a deaceut of the Police. SKKUBAKT BATES with that flag arrived hero to day,’ very properly escorted by a rebel officer, who believes that in fighting to destroy the nation he committed no crime. Aside from the gamin the arrival created no excitement. Bates will have his board bill paid for a few days at the Metropolitan by the Democratic Committee, and then leave for Wisconsin. the sanitary condition of Washington is not very satisfactary. Out of a population of about 106,000 there were deaths during the month of March—a larger per centago than in any city north of this point. Consumption and Pneumonia claimca 61 victims. THE LINCOLN MONUMENT was unveiled to-day oil Court House square. The moument is the result of a sudden and unexpected outburst of loyalty and patriot ism on the part of Mayor Wnllack, and is paid for byjsubscription. The monument con sists of an octagon base and plain cylindri cal shaft of white Maryland marble, thirty two feet high, upon which is placed a statue of Lincoln, in Italian marble, eight feet high. The artist, Mr. Flannery, is a local tomb stone manufacturer. The real Lin coin Monument—one to commemorate his deeds—is yet to be erected, and when in position no man of the class of Andrew Johnson will be permitted to unveil it. an advance. The authorities here have taken an advance step by authorizing the German language to be taught in the public schools, for which three teachers are to be employed at an annual salary of $1,200 each. CAPITAL. The Last Threat. —The LaCrosse Dem ocrat, a paper which the Rochester Union and other immaculate “Conservative” organs mildly rebuke for representing too literally the doctrines of the Democratic party, con tinues its threats of assassination. Its last mtterance of the kind is contained in the following paragraph : “There is need of Mr. Ben Wade to be ware ! The people of this country have borne much from obscene clowns, druukards and fanatics; very much more than they will ever bear again. It were far better that the tyrant who is forced into the position once filled by Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson, should be hutled out of existence by the bullet of the patriot than that thirty five millions of Americans should suffer under his despotic dyuasty. Mr. Wade will stand upon tender ground ; a single false step and the mine may ,be sprung. It requires but a spark to set the whole coun try on fire. Remember: Sic semper iyran nrs!” No one will fail to notice that these threats of assassination emanate, without exceptions from the Democratic party. In the South the threats are being put into execution. The agents of the bloody work are members of the Ivu Ivlux Klan, an organization main tained solely by Southern Conservatives. Would it not be consistent for the party to adopt the policy cl political assassination as one of the planks of its next national plat form ? [From the Toledo Blade. Nasby. .1 Very Peculiar Laic Suit at the Corners — Pollock vs. Bigler — AF/ie Witnesses Sub pceiued, and the Way llic Dispute teas Settled. Post Ofeis, Confedrit X Roads, | (wieh is in the State uv Kentucky) April 2, 1868. j The Corners is continooally eggsited. Scarcely does one fever get herself allayed afore another is set agoin, and the result ia the community is kept a bilin perpotoo ally. There ain't nothing like peece here. Pertiekelerly does this occur when Bascom runs short. His barrels contain the troo oil which flows onto the troubled waters of our passions, and when them is out, there’s a miniatoor tophet to wunst. The last eggsitement was probably the most pekoolyer that ever happened to any people, tho it wus nothin more than cood be expected to grow out uv the altered relashuns uv the races to each other. It wuz wun uv the legacies left us by the tyrant Linkin, and by no means the lcest uv em. Under the old patrlarkle system, it wuz the custom uv the niggers to go by the name of their trooly patriarkle masters, which wuz nessary, and not only nessary, but proper. Onto every plantashuu ther wood be Ceesers, llannibals and Pompeys, and the only way to distinguish em wuz to call em Ceeser l’ogram, Hannibal Gavitt, etsettry. This anserd very well ez long ez they wuz in a state uv skriptooral servitood ; indeed, the proud Caucashen masters rather liked it than otherwise, ez the frekensy with wicli their names wuz called indikated the extent of their pos sessions. But sence these cusses hev sot up fur themselves, it aint so pleasant. Now that they kin own property and perform all the functions uv men, the same ez cny one else, it hez becom distasteful to the Corners. It is a singler fact that the Corners liez diskivered, since the niggers wuz set free, suthin they never knowd afore, to wit: The nigger hez an odor onlike the white. When they wuz slaves, and used to nussem and play with em, and wait on em, and sich, this odor wuz not perceptible. It lias developed sencu email cipashen. Jes so with their names. In their normal condishen it wuz well—sence, its a degredashun the Corners won’t brook, no how. Deekin Pogram and Issaker Gavilte per tikerly chafed under it. They mourned and lost flesh under the inflickshen. “To think,” sed tho Deekin, “uv a hundred niggers bearin the honored name uv Pogram 1” “To think,” sed Issaker Gavitt, “uv a hundred niggers bearin the illustrins name uv Gavitt!” And so they pertishuned the Legislacher, at Frankfort to releeve em by passin a law perhibitin niggers from bearin the names uv white men wich wuz their former masters. The fact leeked out, and this imbrolyo wuz the result. Pollock, the Illinois store keeper, wieh is a disturber, immejitly sued Joe Bigler for u store debt, and bed him hauled up afore Square Punt. Joe immejitly subpenaed all the citizens uv the Corners ez witnesses, and hed em all in the Court Room. “Come,” said Deekin Pogram, “sware me and let me go. I don’t know nothin about this matter anyhow.” “Not yet,” sed Bigler, “I hey other testi mony wieh I shel put in. Mr. Constable, call Hannible Pogram. The Deekin started ez es he hed bin shot “And ez we kin save the valyooable time uv this court by swarin uv em in a lump, yoo may call also Pompey Pogram, Joolius Pogram, Ceeser Pogram, George Washing ton Pogram, (so named becoz, like the first G. W., he coodent tell a lie, wich is nroof concloosive that he is a pure black and haint got no Pogram blood in his vains,) Mellissy Pogram, Abslura Pogram, Cleopatra Pogram, Paul Pogram, Marie Antynett Pogram, Bonaparte Pogram, Churles Wesley Pogram, Abel Jackson Po—” “Wat does this mean ?” shreeked the Deekin, ez they all filed into the court room. “Wot do yoo mean by briugiu into this yer court all these d—d niggers.” “Wat and I mean? Wat diffreuce is it t® jool They’r my witnewes—by these intelli fent freemen I perpote to prove that yer ’ollock a perjered villain atm a most uucon shunablo swindler.” And he grinned at Pollock who winked wickedly at him ia return. “And I," sed Pollock, “tasave time mite ez well hev my witnesses sware. Issaker Gavitt, stand up.” Issaker arose. “Now, Mr. Constable, call Pompey Gavitt, Melindy Gavitt, Augustus Gavitt, Petronelia Gavitt, Lycurgus Gavitt, Abslum Gavitt, Moses Gavitt, Judith Gavitt, Jefferson Ga vitt, Adam Gavitt, Martha Washington Gavitt, Paskel Gav—” "Am I to be sworn with ail these niggers,” roared Issaker, red in the face. “Reely," sed Squire Punt, “I can’t permit this.” "But yoo must,” sed Bigler. “Ez desprit a wretch ez this Pollock, ez deeply ez he liez wronged me, ez much ez I loathe, hate and despise him, he shel hev fair play in a court uv justis. Even shood he beet mo and crush me neath his iron heel, I insist that he shel hev his rites. But the Squire bed better swear mine first.” And ez they generally don’t like trouble with Bigler, the Squire, pale as a gost, for he didn’t know what wuz comin, swore the pile. “Now,” sed Bigler, “Ceeser Pograrn, stand up. Ceeser, do yoo know the nacher uv an oath ?” “Yes sah.” "Who wuz yoor father, Ceeser ?” “Don’t know, sah.” “Is your mother in the room, and hez she bin sworn ?” “Yes, sah.” “You may set down for the present. Will Melissy Pogram arise ?” The wench got up. “Now, Melissey, state to the court the paternity uv yoor son.” “I object I” shrieked the Deekin. “What liez that to do with yoor owin Pollock a store debt ?” “Is this yoor case ?” retorted Bigler. “Are yoo defendant or plaintiff herein? Melissy, answer. . No, Melissy, on second thots, to spare the blushes uv the Deekin— to cast the mantle uv oblivion over the peccadiloes uv his yooth—yoo needent answer. Do you want to cross examine the witness, Mr. Pollock ?” “No!” returned he. “Lycurgus Gavitt, stand up. What rite hev you to hear the name of Gavitt ?” “It wuz my fadder’s name.” “To wich pertickeler Gavitt do you allood ?” “The lately deceased Elder.” “Then you are half brother to Issaker ?” “I is.” “You may sit down. I will state to the court the objick uv these questions, which, without explanashen, may appear irrele vant. Mr. Bigler and I agreed unani mously ez to how this soot should be conducted. Niggers alone knowd the coz uv difference that unfortunitly ariz between us, and knowing that the pure African wuz unworthy uv beleef, we determined to yoose only sich ez cood show indisputable descent from good trustworthy Caucashen citizens. Hence this preliminary eggsami nashun. We hev here the niggers uv rnixt blood from every plantashen in the naberhood, and we shel reject all who can’t show mixt blood. Their evidence must be taken, for to doubt the word uv the sons and daughters uv sich men wood be the heighth uv presumpshen, and au insult which they wood be justified in resentin.” “Certainly,” sed Bigler, “and let’s git at it. Bonaparte Pogram, stand up.” “Hold,” skriekt the Deekin, observin that Mrs. Pogram hed just stept into the room ; “how much is at ishoo in this yer soot?” “Ninety one cents and the costs that hev acrood,” sed Pollock. “I’ll pay it,” remarkt the Lleekin, ner vously, “ruther than hev this farce go on. Don’t call no more uv em—don’t. Here’s the money.” “It can't be,” sed Bigler, “I’m hound to crush that Pollock.” “Don’t percecd—-don’t,” yelled Punt, Mc- Pelter, and every other white man in the room, ez they notist their wives droppin in one by one, “it’s reely too small a matter reely it is.” “Well,” sed Bigler, “ez there appears to be sich a yoonanimous desire therefor, I hev »o objeeshen, on them terms, to forgive Pollock.” and the cusses embraced in open court, while the Deekin, McPelter, and the reit uv em wuz a paying the niggers their witness fees. Er they wnz a leaving the court room, Bigler sung out: “Deekin, es yoo send on that petishen to Frankfort, I shel send on a protest, provin that evry one uv tho niggers who bear yoor name hev a nateral rite to it. Let it alone, Deekin, let it alone. Es the niggers kin stand the name, yoo ought not to object.” And he and Pollock rolled off together, laffin vociferously. It wez a plot alween em to annoy the Corners. Wood, O 1 wood that we cood be delivered from em. Petroleum V. Nasby, I j . M., (wich is Postmaster.) RECEPTION OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES. Dublin, Wednesday, April 15. The fleet bearing their Royal Highnesses, the l’riuce mid Princess of Wales, entered the bay this forenoon.

The train proceeded slowly to Dublin. When it had arrived at Westland Row, the terminus of the road, the Prince and Princess and their attendants alighted. A military guard of honor, under Major General Cunyngliamc, was drawn up, forming a hollow square, The .Mayor and. members of the Corporation of the City of Dublin advanced and presented an address of welcome to the royal visitors on the part of the citizens. • The Prince and Princess and suite, and the Lord Lieutenant and officers of State, then entered carriages, and a procession was formed, which passed through the principal streets of the city to the Castle. The streets, windows and housetops along the route of the procession were densely crowded with spectators, who, by their cheers and cries, manifested the wildest enthusiasm. The buildings on the line at march were richly decorated with flags, flowers and tapestry. The day was fine, the sun shone brilliantly, and the display was a complete success. '1 he procession reached the castle at 2 o’clack in the afternoon, when the Prince and Princess were conducted to the State Departments prepared for their reception. One of the noticeable features of the decorations was the frequency with which the American banner was displayed with the flags of England and Ireland. PERSONAL.
