We will thank our friends in all parts of the State to send us the returns of the elections at the earliest moment. Who Wan I* Peace ? If you want it, rote the Republican ticket. You can get it in no other way. 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 'he polls and cast their ballots for Bullock *nd the Constitution, thus guaranteeing the 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 y°ur property and reducing yourself, wile, an| l little ones, to uncomfortable circum tance3 and, probably, want and misery. *cw Publication*.

Who W ant* Bettor Times I If you want better times, vote the ltepubli. can ticket. The present hard limes and all our sufferings ore to be traced to secession rule. The secessionists have ruined this people. Let us try some other body of men, and see if they cannot old us in our distress. The Crisis. Men of Georgia, never before has there occurred such a momentous crisis in the affairs of your Stale. Come forward and save it from impending ruin. Vote the straight Republican ticket, and none other. Bo not deceived by the tricks and wiles of the enemy, but do your duty to your God, your country, and yourselves. Vote for Buixock and the Constitution. 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 morning, the 24th instant. Delegates travelling on auy railroad in the State will pay full fare coming to Au gusta, and return tree on a ticket endorsed by the officers of the Convention. Those arriving in Augusta on either of the day trains will repair at once to the Lectore Room, in the rear of the Church, whore a committee wiil be iu attendance to furnish them with homes ; those coming on night trains will please report at the Bame place by eight o’clock, if possible, the nex morning. Papers will eonfer a favor on the denomi nation by inserting the above. Our i'lallorm. 1. The restoration of power to the people. 2. Tho restriction of the veto within legitimate limits. 3. The restoration of our State to its true, safe and legitimate purposes. 4. Tho rescue of the Government from the grasp of demagogues. 5. Retrenchment of extravagant expendi tures. 6. The assumption of the Constitution as the platform of our political faith, 7 A return to the old and safe paths of honesty, sincerity, patriotism and public virtue. With this declaration of principles, the friends of Bullock and Restoration go before the people. ReKiatration. We publish below instructions from Cos). E. Hulbert, Superintendent Registration for Georgia. We have been told by several that 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 register and vote ! We regret that we were not sooner furnished with this circular; but it is not too late to spot the men who have sought to control the laborers of the country Headers Sub-District or Georgia, ) Office Superintendent Registration, I Atlanta, Ga., March 2G, 18G8. j J. B. Wilson, President Board of Registra tion, City of Augusta, Ga.: Sir —From information received at this Bureau, it is believed that, in many instances, freedmeu are threatened with being dis charged, “for the purpose of controlling their votes, or of restraining them from voting,” at the election ordered to be held, com mencing on the 20th day of April next. The privilege of voting, as guaranteed to them by the United States Government, uyist be exercised without hindrance from any source whatever. You are specially instructed to report to this Bureau all cases of interference with their political rights that may come to your knowledge ; together with names of parties concerned, and facts appertaining thereto. Do not rely upon mere rumors, but make diligent inquiry in person, in order that the innocent may be protected and the guilty punished. E. Hulbert, Superintendent of Registration for State of Georgia. Tin- liou-C'liirt Oath- Many persons having expressed a desire to obtain a copy of the “Iron clad oath,” the taking of which is an indispensable precedent to occupying any public office, we republish it as follows : “I , of county of and State of-, do solemnly swear or affirm, that I have never voluntarily borne arms against the United States since I have been a citi zen thereof; that I have voluntarily given no aid, countenance, counsel or encourage ment to persons engaged in armed hostility thereto ; that I have neither sought nor ac cepted, nor attempted to exercise the func tions of any office whatever, under any authority or pretended authoi-ity, in hostility to the United States ; that I have not yield ed a voluntary support to any pretended government, authority, power or constitu tion, within the United States, hostile or inimical thereto. And Ido further swear, or affirm that, to the best of my knowledge and ability, I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic ; that I will bear true allegiance to the same ; that I take this obligation freely without any men tal reservation or purpose of evasion ; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.

The Leaguers were addressed in the Lodge Room by Mr. Lamar, editor of the Sun <t- Times. [ The above dispatch is from Mr. Lamar, the editor of the >un it- Times, and, of course, is very reliable, coming from such a disinterested source.] FROM ATLANTA.

To-day, 1,G50 votes polled—only a few hundred whites voting. The Impeachment Trial. Washington, April 18.—The managers are introducing documentary evidence. 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, Tipton, Trumbull, Van Winkle, Willey and Yates—l 4. Both parties announced evidence closed.

Senate went into executive session, and also adjourned to Wednesday. Washington Items. Washington, April 19.—Evarts and Curtis called on Stanbery, but the interview was deemed imprudent. It is hoped, however, that Stanbery will be able to s peak ; Groesback will follow Evarts. 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 Claims decided 54 cotton cases, under the Seizure and Abandonment law, in favor of claimants, judgment in forty of which were rendered during the present term. The amounts in each case vary from SIO,OOO to $123,000. Randolph L. Mott securing the highest claim. The claims aggregate $623,000. E. G.

Londun, April 20.—The court room uud approaches where the trial of Clerkenwell, the explosionist, is progressing, are densely crowded. 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. Markets—By Telegraph. Financial.
