At We Expected.
We have received the following from an
authoritative source:
“Atlanta, April 20.—Columbus tele
gram is all buncombe.”
This disuses of Mr. Lamar’s sensational
dispatch, reporting the discovery of frauds
in the registration boards at Columbus.
! What next, gentlemen ?
Who want* Hard Time* ?
You have had hard times for years. The
secessionists, who now call themselves Con
servatives, gave you these hard times,
while many of them prospered and got rich.
If you want still harder times and still
greater distress, vote the so-called Conserva
tive ticket.
Ridicnlons.
To hear a youngster, who never paid any
taxes, or a seedy Democrat, without a dollar
in his pocket or an acre of land to his name,
bawling about taxes. llow ridiculous !
Gentlemen who are worth their thousands
are not afraid of the taxes under the new
Constitution.
Richmond County Polls.
The voting at the City Hall, yesterday,
was conducted in a spirited out orderly
manner. Every one seemed to be in good
humor. There were two Polls —one in the
hall for the city, and one in the basement
for the county voters.
The number of ballots in the city box
was 1,210, and in the county box 1,041.
Particular Notice.
PAY NO ATTENTION TO DEMO
CRATIC “RUMORS” alias LIES !
"ho wauls .Military Government ’
The seceisionists who now call themselves
Conservatives gave you military government,
and they have kept up military government
here for the last three years, by refusing to
jo back to the Union. If you want perma
nent military government, and no civil gov
ernment, and consequently no prospect for
the revival of business and prosperity, then
rote the so called Conservative ticket,
the Weather.
For a week past we have had strange
weather. Yesterday morning, quite early,
Ite had a regular summer storm, attended
with thunder and lightning. Soon afterward
'oc clouds dispersed, and the bright sunshine
a “d warm air, so much in contrast with the
dripping clouds and dismal days that had
preceded, seemed to lure every person into
the street. But in the afternoon, sunshine
a °d shower were chasing each other until
nightfall.
Rcliet!
Voters, of no matter what politics, who
are burdened with debt, should come up to

existence of laws which will secure to your
‘Emilies homes and happiness, and to you a
sufficient length of time in which to liquid
ate your indebtedness without sacrificing

tance3 and, probably, want and misery.

Local Newspaper Postage.
The Post Office Department have decided
that all newspapers, circulars, (unsealod),
and periodicals (under four ounces) deposit
ed in post office to bo distributed direct to
subscribers, arc to have a one cent stamp
attached before they are mailed ; papers,
circulars, and periodicals, however will be
sent free, as hitherto, to subscribers within
the county, provided they pass through at
least two post offices.
Wrong Name.
The Washington Chronicle, of the 18th
instant, says that “the case of Meyers,
■toekholder, against the Southern Express
Company, of which General Johnston was
President, came up before the Supreme
Court of New York. The plaintiff seeks to
enjoin the Company from incurring debts
and collecting assessments from stock
holders.”
General Johnston was President of the
Rational (not the Southern) Express Com
pany.
‘•There’* Work Cor Every Man io Do.”
Our exchanges from all points bring us
cb eering intelligence. The interior and
upper portions of the State are thoroughly
aroused to the importance of the election
which continues to day. Everywhere the
true men of the State are devoting their
time to the work of bringing out the voters,
and giving their efforts and influence to
secure the triumph of the Republican ticket•
Let no considerations of interest or persona'
iucouvenience keep you from the polls. Let
not business interfere. Better lose the profits
of a week’s business than lose a single vote,
which, by presence on the ground, you might
influence in the right direction. Come to
the polls early.
Kemoval of Disabilities.
We again call attention to the card of
Hon. Fostkr Blodgett, Chairman of the
State Committee.
We now state, on the best authority, that
all good Republicans laboring under politi
cal disabilities, who may have been nomi
nated by the Republican party and duly
elected to office, and who have thereby given
pruoi, nrsi, mat uiey nave earnestly auvo
cated reconstruction, and secondly, that they
have the confidence of the loyal people, will
be relieccd by Congress in time to allow
them to enter oil their duties : and that, on
the contrary, those who are opposing recon
struction and the new "Constitution will not
be relieved, whether chosen to office or not,
either now or hereafter. We know what we
say to be so. Every vote, therefore, that
may bo cast for snch persons who aro op
posing the new Constitution, and thereby
endeavoring to defeat reconstruction, will be
a vote thrown away.
The “Nigger” Vote.
At its recent session, the Democratic Con
vention of South Carolina adopted a plat,
form, of which the following is one of the
resolutions:
Resolved, That under tiie action of the
State of South Carolina, heretofore taken,
we recognize the colored population of the
State as an integral clement of the body
politic; and as such, in person and property,
entitled to a full and equal protection under
the State Constitution and laws. And that,
as citizens of South Carolina, we declare
our willingness, when we have tho power
to grant them, under proper qualifications
as to property and intelligence, the right of
suffrage.
South Carolina seems determined to be
radical or nothing. Before and during the
war her people were radical secessionists.
Nothing could dampen their fire eating
ardor. Now a majority of the population
are radicals by name, black, it is true, but
neither better or worse for that; and the
minority, mainly white, and supposed to
belong to the “great Conservative party of
the nation,” are a good deal more radical
than they can be and remain within the
pale of Democracy. Think of the reception
the above resolution would receive in a New
York State Democratic Convention.
Obviously the National Democratic plat
form must soon be enlarged, so as to afford
standing room for “niggers”—provided they
vote the Democratic ticket. The world does
move.
Who Wani!> War 7
Docs any one want another WAK? II so,
vote the so-called Conservative ticket. The
Conservatives are the war party. They have
been war men all along, and they would
fight now, if they dared, before they would
give up the offices.
U rant.
Our exchanges from all sections of tlic
country, the organs of the copperheads ex
cepted, generally concur in the view that
the popular sentiment sets unmistakably
towards Gen. Grant as tlic coming candi
date of our party, and with his nomination
there is also the feeling that he will be
elected triumphantly, liis canvass will
possess all the fervor and enthusiasm which
characterized the contest of Fremont against
Buchanan, with this exception, that Grant
will be carried on the crest of the popular
wave triumphantly to victory. His star
never pales, lie merits success by being
right, and then wins it. If lie is nomina
ted with unanimity, as a distinctive Re
publican, he will win the field.
V7b* Wbdu Ptinanial 6!T«ru»!al 1
It you want permanent government, then
vote tho Republican ticket. In no other
way can we expect to get it.
Clucrini News.
Wc are fully potted from all pails of the
Stnte, and we anticipate the best results.
The mousirous falsehoods circulated against
the new Constitution by the Democratic
leaders aro being thoroughly exposed, and
as fast ns they are oxposed, and tho people
see the truth as it is, there is a revulsion
agaiust these leaders, who have so often de
ceived the honest and unsuspecting, which
is adding strength to the Republican party.
The truth travels slowly, but nearly every
voter will hear it for himself before he votes.
All we ask is a fair and free election. But
(or the fact that the registration books and
the ballot boxes will be for the most part in
the hands of loyal men, and but for the
salutary fear of the strong arm of a just
government, which is determined to protect
the people in their right of suffrage, there
would hardly be tho shadow of a fair election.
As it is, we look for fraud, intimidation, and
violence of all kinds. The Republicans will
offer violence to none, but they are deter
mined not to submit to it. They feel that
their liberties and their very lives will be in
peril in case of their defeat at the polls, and
they will act accordingly. They are not to
be driven or kept from the polls. They will
vole.

Important (tucalious.
People of Georgia, have you forgotten who
involved you in War ? De you remember
who fought the war out to the bitter end, and
refused to make peace, though you implored
them to do so ? Do you know who ruined
you in all your interests, and reduced yon
to your present suffering and distress? Who
but the secession leaders f
Are you going to follow these leaders any
longer ?
If you do, and if your distresses and suf
ferings are thereby increased, you will feel
that you can justly blame none for it but
yourselves.
Bates—The Test.
A clique of Northern Copperheads in
Wisconsin made up a fund to compensate
Air. Bates for his long journey. A solitary
man, unarmed, and advertised in advance
as being on an errand undertaken in the
interest of the South, has gone safely through.
The Tribune asks : Is it not astounding that
the eight millions of people (excluding
niggers) to whom this appeal was addressed
did not turn out and make war upon this
solitary footman ? Is it not conclusive testi
mony to the peace, good order, quiet, and
loyalty of the seceded States that the lonely
sergeant was not assassinated, burned alive,
nor otherwise “prevai ed upon” to stop ?
Was it heartfelt love for the flag, or politic
regard for the partisan capital likely to bo
made, that preserved him from the annoy
ances that we hear are daily offered to
Northern men without flags? Was it his
well known devotion to the old flag that
brought a dozen assassins at midnight to the
murder of Ashburn, or was Ashburn’s flag
certified as innocent by the Copperheads of
the North ?
The flag, however, lias gone through un
harmed ; the member of Congress from
Wisconsin and the entire Democratic press
cctify to the loyalty and sincerity of the
white men of the South. Very well, an
easy and much more satisfactory test of this
loyalty lias been proposed. Just at this
time elections are in progress in three
Southern States, and the. prime issue is
loyalty to the old flag. We shall know, in
a few days, the difference between the pre
concerted clap trap that attended the flag,
borne by Sergeant Bates of Wisconsin, and
the solid attachment to the flag borne by
the whole Union in the person of Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States. If
a large majority of the -white voters support
the new Constitutions and vote for loyal
officers, wo shall cheerfully endorse all that
the flag carrier claims; if not, we shall
have doubts. Wc do not find fault with Mr.
Bates; the inherent right of every free
American citizen to make a fool of himself
is beyond question. The amount of im
portance to be attached to his exhibitions
must he judged by results. Other men
than Sergeant Bates have had ovations in
Southern cities, even without the flag ; the
prize ring has had its triumph, and the
Copperhead editor his reception. And yet
the South is not understood to be altogether
restored to its proper relations to the Union,
nor can we conscientiously say that progress
in that direction has been materially hasten
ed by tho march of the flag borne by tho
enthusiastic Segeant.
Strike*.
An extensive strike of miners in Pennsyl
vania has just come to an end, after a sus
pension of work for three months, by the
men accepting the wages offered by the pit
owners. The diffi cully was in the collieries
bordering upon the Monongahela and it*
tributary, the Yo ughiogheny, and included
between four and five thousand persons
whose eprnings, at the present rales, will
range from $1.50 to $3.50 and $4 per day.
There has ha.diy been an instance of a
successful strike iu any part of the country,
or in any industry, of late years. The ten
deucy of things has been toward cheaper
living mther than higher wages. One is
the same as the other to the workman in the
end.
Heavy on “My Mary lam!.”
We find tiie following pungent paragraph
in (he New York Times, of the 10th :
Tiie Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist reads
us a vehement lecture for our “recommenda
tion” that drum head court mnrtials be
substituted for all other forms of authority
in the Southern States 1 It finds this coun
sel in an article on the assassination of
Ashburn, and it regards our reference to the
experience of Poland, Ireland, and Hun
gary, as an endorsement of tiie efficacacy
and desirableness ot such authority ! The
people of the Southern States are probably
not all fools, but a very large proportion of
that class of the population seems to have
gone into the business ol editing newspapers.
If they would attend some of the colored
schools awhile, they might possibly be made
to understand something ol what is known
iu elementary rhetoric as the ironical style
of writing.
Georgia Baptist Convention.
The Baptist Convention of the Btate of
Georgia will meet with the Firat Baptist
Church, Greece street, Augusta, on Friday

Delegates travelling on auy railroad in

E. Hulbert, Superintendent Registration for

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

Blodgett’s indictment was offered, and
Butler offered Blodgett's answer.
Evarts objected—Blodgett was not on
trial here.
Butler proceeded to state orally what lie
intended to prove.
Chase ordered it to be reduced to writing.
Butler protested.
Chase persisted, and Butler is now writing,
[second dispatch.]
Washington, April 20.—The impeach
ment was continued.
The Senate refused to admit Blodgett’s
papers.
Butler, in appealing for Blodgett, said
he had never been able to get liis case
before the Senate. Justice should be done
him now. He was only a captain of a
rebel militia company—an unwilling cap
tain —Blodgett would swear. Blodgett
was known in Augusta. He was elected
by bis neighbors to make a Constitution
for Georgia, and was made Mayor of
Augusta by Gen. Pope.
Butler didn’t doubt when Georgia was
admitted that Blodgett would take his
seat here with tho proudest of us.
Butler then offered nominations of Sher
man and Thomas to Brevet Generalship,
claiming admissibility under the tenth
article. Senate refused by 14 to 35 ; yeas,
Messrs. Anthony, Cole, Fessenden, Fowler,
Grimes, Henderson, Morton, Ross, Sumner,

Washington Items.
Washington, April 19.—Evarts and

was deemed imprudent. It is hoped,
however, that Stanbery will be able to

The President is cheerful, but visitors get
the impression that he has little hope of
acquittal. The position of affairs is widely
canvassed to day.
Information was called tor in the House
to day regarding the detention ot the
steamer Sabine at New London—it is
alleged for political purposes.
Washington, April 20.—Tho Court of

Congressional.
Wash i noton, April .20. — Hbtue— The
Senate appropriation for impeachment was
considered.
Eldridge said it was evident that ten
thousand dollars would not defray the ex
penses of the impeachment trial, and he
thought this was a mere blind. Why did uot
the Committee come out boldy and say this
was a mere bagatelle to operate on the
public mind.
Washburne said if another appropriation
was required, he would vote for it, and he
belived it would be worth one hundred thou-
Sa *EM , < '?" ars ,0 P a y the expenses.
Eldridge asked it he understood that the
Government would give one hundred thou
sand dollars to make the impeachment trial
a success. Washburne had not said that
exactly, but what he meant was that if the
impeachment was a success, it would be
worth not one hundred thousand dollars, but
one hundred millions of dollars to this coun
try, in greater securities to person and
properly. [Applause in Galleries.]
Eldridge said'hc suspected as much that
this money was to be used to secure the
success of impeachment. Hs would not
vote a dollar for such purposes.
Washburne said he would not be mis •
represented; but he would reiterate that he
believed the country would be benctitted to
the amount of millions of dollars by the
removal of the usurper and tyrant from the
White House.
The bill passed.
There was a long discussion on Banks’
bill regarding the rights ot foreign citizens
abroad.
