National Republican A l l»>t 'M l'A.. I* A. TUESDAY MORNING Mny 5, 18«S For PRESIDENT Or tiik United States: ii vssis s. un ww tbe ixfluexce of hml iff upon TItF. ELECT I OX. Tlw utiti-ltecoiistructionists, in himtiug jilhiul to timl npolojtici for tlirir ilofiuit. affirm that it was in a great measure owing to tin- H,lief features of tin- Consti tut ion. We are willing to acknowledge that to those clauses may l»e ascribcil some part ot our success, and that to Itelief may In- -attributed n portion of the large majority l»y which t!ie Constitution was rati lied : Wit this will not account for the large majority of Gov. Hi llock oyer Uon t>ON. unless it be asserted at the same time that the Kclicf men believed that the former, if elected, would carry the Consti tution into clicet, while tile latter would not. We suppose there is no Democrat who will make an assertion so derogatory to his candidate. The large white vote obtained by Gov. ltd. lock proves’that other causes besides Itelief were influencing the people, lie was lielieved to la? the representative of the pfngressive and peaceful present, rather than of the lawless anil effete past. 3 People were wearied with the long reign of turbulence and uncertainty, and de sired a return to a stable government and tranquility. Foe seven years they liny* lived without civil law, or where it was subordinated to another rule, and where no civil right was secure. It was time that this anomalous state should cease, and that this people should have the opportunities for progress and prosperity denied to no other civilized people on the face of tin; earth. They wanted no more war—no more bloodshed—no more drag ging of chained conscripts, or inroluntary volunteers, to tlu; battle field. They were wearied with the tyranny of pestilent demagogues, who, for their own mjtisli advancement, had brought ruin and de struction upon thousands of their inno cent dupes. The people saw before them but one course—to elect the man who was in full concord with them in their desires and wishes, or hint who, good anil brave man as he is. was the nominee of those who -till cherished the old spirit of violence which led to disunion and ruin. They chose the first, and we arc confident that they have chosen wisely ; they have elected one who, in patriotism, intelligence, honest y and ability will do honor to the high sta tion he will soon occupy. As we have said before, the large white vote for Gov. Bullock and the Constitu tion proves that there were other controll ing motives besides the desire of relief from debt. No one will have the hardi hood to assert that nil those thousands were debtors, and none creditors. But even if such an assertion were fact, it ut terly oversets the argument of those who maintained there was no necessity for relief. When so large a porportion of a people arc bankrupt, the law, which in ordinary times intygeres between debtor and creditor only toenforcc contracts, very properly steps into give relief to the whole people.. Law-abiding Kngland has done so. France has done the same, and our people, by the folly of secession, were brought to a ruin quite as complete and universal as were the peopleol'tliosebations by the follies of the South Sea Scheme or John Law 's Hubble and it* we grant the position of the opposition, that Gov. Bullock’* majority is ow ing wholly to the relief clauses of the Constitution, it proves one thing before all others, that the ne cessity for relief was of such a magnitude as to call imperatively for legislative inter ference, and to justify the course of the Convention in embodying it in the Consti tution, and of the Republican party and its candidate in maintaining, upholding, and combatting for it. They, therefore, who contend that our victory was owing only to Relief, may take that horn ot the di lemma if they will. Either the large majority given for the Republican measures and candidate were not entirely ow ing to Re lief, or if it was, the necessities of the people amply justified the measure. chips.

C/uvnieU, Nintihiy. The gentlemen who are thus paraded iK’fore the public are advertising patrons of "the old conservative" Chronicle. \Vc have never heard that the proprietor of that “respectable" journal ever refused to receive their advertisements at the usual rates. The characteristic iiicnni of the foul-hearted editorial employee stands out in all its deformity. I'ulike the contemptible c.\ Know Noth ing scribbler, the gentlemen above cited w i>h to sell their wares, not their princi ples, And it occurs to us that such a splenetic etVort as this quotation affords would best be answered by a foot encased in one ot "Miles’ best" boots mauufae lured, we believe, somewhere in lVimsyl vania, probably in the neighborhood from whence, it is alleged, a free negro was stolen, once upon a time, by a Democratic editor, who lias the unblushing effrontery to prate about honest;/ ! * .YA’ir CONVERTS. It is astonishing what a number of lie publicans have turned up since the result ot the election lias become known. It reminds us of the time, just after the col lapse of the Confederacy, when it was hard to lind a man who had not always been, and always intended to be, a Union man. Prominent members of the Repub lican party are now daily receiving scores of letters begging for their influence in the procurement of office for the writers. No less than eight letters of this kind have been received by one gentleman from a county which is said to have cast but three white votes for the Constitution and the constitutional candidate. If this demon strates nothing else, it at least proves that success is a great modifier of men's opiu ions. A HEM A Ilk ABLE CO A VERSION. It becomes our pleasant duly to clirouiclc a remarkable conversion. The editor of the Chromcfe ,(• Scntiml has been made to see the error of his ways, and is anxious con cerning his political salvation. Like all true penitents, he commences the good work aright by humble confession, which we were pleaded to hear >vruiio from him on last Sabbath morning. We bid him all speed in his reformation, hoping he will continue steadfast to the end, Driving to in.ike his calling and election sire —i.-xl time. And yet, while rejoicing over the professed repentance of this li .rdecel transgressor, wt feel that we should be remiss in duty were we to fail in impressing upon brother llan-u a few words of advice and admonition. We admire the zeal he manifests—characteristic of ail new converts—-and can w-ep tears ot joy to know that bis ‘‘catholicity is broad and deep i nough to embrace all the erring sons of Georgia,” and that be extends “the right hand of fellowship’'to all who, ignoring the past, will strike hands with “us"’ in this mighty struggle. \V», would dial gently with .our young brother Ran -■ , but inns' whisper to him that a portion of Ms ‘ experience' given in on Sunday nn.niii. r caused a smile (mayhap of pity) to come over the counte nances of some o' the elders of the Demo cratic church. ‘‘He's a fine-lookin; . nice young man," .id one old brother, ‘but lie nmts too much to lit me." ‘'Hope in 's been genuinely converted,’' remarked a venerable deacon from deff r.'.in county, "and is determined to l now will in;/ but his duty, but it ’pears to me the voting man put on too mnitv airs.” “Humph !” muttered r tune fiob-rn* brother from Mary land. “what cool impudence he lias! //<■ talk about offering the right band ol fellow ship! A rner on the anxious bench prescribing fixed mies for church govern ment!'' And a te.ir was .-eon to s'ct 1 down the cheek of old Aunt Hannah, one ol the best among the -ister.s, a she wiped her specs, and. nudging brother Willingham with her lan, declared her intention of “speaking to that vising man. about being so forward in inectiii'.” V, iil our brother, in v. ,! -o ■ welfare we are greatly interested, listen to his seniors in ex’ perienee ?

The issue of the Chronicle if: Sentinel of Sunday morning is a curious medley.

The Chronicle, in brief, is advising “Proscription"—political, social, and business proscription—for opinion's sake. What do property owners think of this unjust, ungenerous, ungentlemauly spirit? Asa real estate owner, must I ask a man how lm votes before 1 rent to him my house? Are we to have for tenants only those who think politically as we think ? Does any merchant ask his customer what his politics are, when he goes to purchase a biUcf goods?

Is he the same old Know-Nothing blower? Oh, no—he doesn't say a word now about Foreigners holding office. He is a “Democrat" (as nearly all foreigners are), and will not repeat a syllable against foreign born citizens so long as they obey his behests and vote the ticket of tile Democratic party —of which he assumes to boa leader. Oconee. [From tho N. Y. Albion, May 2. EXCUSE NEWS. The week’s news has possessed unusual, and in some respect painful, interest. Soon after the Albion went to press, last week, wc received the startling intelligence of the attempted assassination ofPrinceAlfrcd, at Sidney, Australia, by a Fenian named Farrell. This wanton and fiendish act Was committed on the 12th inst.. and the cul prit has Been since tried, found guilty, and sentenced to death ; but this does not atone for the desperate and wicked deed. This fearful anil apparent epidemic evil, is be coming entirely too common. And the most dangerous feature is the secret outli, the casting of lots, and the voluntary assumption of these desperate and danger ous responsibilities, by which reckless out casts. who plot in secret conclave the sacrifice of human life —and that too whether innocent or guilty of political opposition to the assassin's behc-K When we humorously alluded last week to the I’rinee of Wales having become a "Kniglit of St. Patrick," we but little thought that bis noble hearted younger brother—whose frank, manly and open manner has already endeared him to millions of her majesty's devoted subjects had been wantonly shot in the dark, by a deluded soil of Erin. Tlie Iri-li race may have grievances to redress, and may desire, and also require, tlx* sym pathy of Britons generally : but we humbly submit that the course now being pursued by their frenzied Fenian leaders, is likely to bring jii-liee without mercy, and that in quite another way from that they claim most to desire. Wc are glad to learn that liis Royal Highness is not. only reported as lining well, but is now on his way to England. Almost simultaneously with this utuveleoim intelligence, comes the news of the fall of King Theodoras’ stronghold, in Abyssinia. General Napier moved upon the King’s works at Magdala on Good Friday (April 10th) and without the loss of a single life, gallantly took possession of the Fortress, after dispatching the King himself, and killing or wounding nearly or quite two thousand of liis troops; the balance, about 14,000 in number, bar ing laid down their arms to the eon querors. This is certainly a summary punishment, and all for. the rescue of sixty souls- men, women and children—who had a light to claim British protection. On the I Ith the liberated captives, together with the. victorious army, promptly set out for England. leaving the affrighted and chastized Ethiopians to select still another dusky “Kings of Kings" to rule over them. Ben llii.l. —Wc don’t know of a l etter time to “drop a line” on Benjamin. In our opinion “our Ben” lias contributed largely to the defeat of Gordon and the election of Bullock. Wc think it high time that we should cense man-worshipping, and confine our party operations to practical results. "Our Ben” lias been “riding a high horse” (or to. these many days. Asa man, a lawyer, and a Christian, wo believe he will quote frilly par : but ho has essential defects that will forever prevent bis being a successful political leader. We therefore beg leave to advise friend “Ben” to “retire to the shades of private life”--bind together his legal and social laurels in an undying wreath of ever green—leave polities alone, and “trust to luck" for further political preferment. Wo candidly confess wo are not, and never expect to be, n Hcni.it. Ben is too brave now for prudence, and was perhaps, at one time, too prudent for bravery.— Griffin Star.

Alany a youth has been lost to society by allowing it to tarnish, and foolishly -throwing it away. A Western paper publishes an account of a hole on a hill side. The bank, it says, fell in and left the hole sticking out some fen feet. The cost of the original Capitol at Wash ington Oily, was $1,400,000. The additions now nearly completed, will cost $12,000,000 more. Some one has paid one of the editors of the Warrenburg (Mo.)

The geologists of the Philadelphia Aca demy are busy chiseling out of their gyp sum resting places tho hones of a huge saurian lately found in Kansas. Sonic one in the Bello l’laine (Iowa) Transcript intimates that there is but one Bible in that town. He should not tell tales out of school. In 1799, the annual expenditure of Bos ton was $50,000.

It is a fact that the men who fought bravely in the Southern armies during the rebellion are now more willing to accept tlie situation than the politicians who remained at home and did not fight at all. There are a few Southern statesmen who advise the people like Gov. Brown. Ho says, an honest secessionist ought cither accept the situation cheerfully, and act with the government, or quit the country—not grumble and sulk, and make mischief, as Toombs does. A little boy had lived for some time with a very penurious uncle, who took good care that the child’s health should not be injured by over feeding. The uncle was one day walking out (the child at his side) when a friend accosted him, accompanied by a grey hound. While the elders were talking tho little fellow, never having seen a dog of so slim and slight a texture, clasped the crea ture round the neck, with the impassioned cry: “Oh, doggie, doggie ! and did ye live wi’ your uncle, too, that yo arc so thin?” The ruling spirit, strong in death, was seldom, if ever, more remarkably manifested than in the case of Col. J. H. Foster, of the Pittsburg Dispatch. He died on the 21st inst., at the age of 46 years and three days, after a protracted illness from con sumption. On the afternoon of Monday, the 20th, he visited the Dispatch office, and wrote the leading article for the next day’s issue. While sitting in bed, on Tuesday he called for the Dispatch , read the paper through, and then after a few words of con versation with his wife, laid back on his pillow and quietly passed away. The Columbus (Ohio) Journal tells the following of General Sherman : At our of the Connecticut towns, where lie was brought out on the platform to be seen bv his fellow citizens, just before the train left he observed a tall awkward looking follow approaching the cars, elbowing the crowd in the most ex.cited manner, and bellowing “Sherman ! Sherman ! don’t you know me?" The Gene ral intimated that he did not, at tho moment, recognize his questioner as a familiar coun tenance. “Don’t you remember down in Georgia, stopping one day on the m uch where there was a crowd of fellows looking on a chicken light?” The General laughed. Yes, he did remember. “Well,” said the fellow, with a grin of ineffable satisfaction and modest triumph, ‘that was my rooster what, whipped.’” SPECIAL NOTICES.
