NatumaltHepnbiican AtrUOSTA. UA. WEDNESDAY MORNING May 6, 1868 For PRESIDENT Os the United States : ULYSSES S, UIAM, ELECTION FRAUDS. We have never known abetter illustra tion of the stratagem of the elmsetl )iiek ,.ticket in him.suit crying “stop thief,*’ to deceive his pursuers, than the course of flic Tories in charging fraud on the Republi cans in the late elections. It is notorious that in those counties where the white Republicans were us scarce as righteous men iu Sodom, the most glaring and out rageous frauds, intimidation, and violence wefe committed. It is preposterous to allege that the colored people could com mit election frauds. Their short period of enfranchisement lias not been sufficient to indoctrinate them in Democratic principles and practice pipe- laying, ballot-box stuffing, and all the other technicalities of the arts of rascality. Nobody, who knows any thing of the subject, w ill believe, for a moment, that the frauds, if there were any, were commit ted by the officers presiding at the elections. Four out of every five of the registrars and superintending officers were Democrats, and voted the Democratic ticket. Their breth ren, the Democratic editors, do them very scanty justice in accusing them, but as they all think through the same quill, and know each other so well, perhaps, after all, they do them justice. We believe there have been some vil lainous doings in this election, but to suppose the two or three poor white Republicans in the counties in which these frauds are nllcdged to have been committed were able to cheat three or four hundred smart, learned, rich, and wise aristocrats is giving them credit for an immense deal of smartness. To suppose that a crowd of ignorant colored men could overcome, in political strategy, the aforesaid smart and dignified aristocracy, shows that the dan gers of negro supremacy is greater than we supposed it. A race of people just emanci pated from slavery, poor, uneducated, anil uncouth, who can chent so many smart, learned, and superior people, must have sonic brains in their skulls. THE STATE VAT IT Ah. There seems to have been no prepara tions made as yet for the meeting of the Legislature in Atlanta. There is nothing to prevent Milledgevillc remaining the seat of government until such arrangements as the people of Atlanta have promised to make have been made. In view of the embarrassed condition of the finances of the State, and other considerations, it is to be hoped that Milledgevillc will remain the scat of government until the stipula tions proposed by the Atlanta people are fulfilled. The people of Fulton count vdo not seem very heartily to appreciate the benefits of having the capital at Atlm.o., if we may judge by the way they voted at the recent election. Augusta did a thou sand times better. HIE THEY AILING DISTEMPER. Journalists are historians, 'flic daily records upon the newspaper page, impar tially made, are invaluable for future reference. It is an impressive thought, that the character of a people is best portrayed—-the month' of a people best attested—by turning the leaves of History as written by the faithful journalist. Prominent among the characteristics of the times in which ire live—the year of grace I.Boß—must be mentioned a distemper now raging with virulence in this and other Southern localities. It is a peculiar malady, novel to our people. Its hite is venomous. It spares neither se.x. youth nor age, learned nor ignorant, saint nor sinner. It enters the marts of trade—intrudes upon the family circle—ignites the hearts of firemen —steals into the temple sacred to “Faith, Hope, Charity”—poisons the atmosphere of the Sunday School room pollutes the Pulpit—nay, strikes down the Lord’s annointed as they meet around the Altar to devise measures for the advancement of His cause and kingdom in the earth 1 ProxerijitioH is the name of this pesti lence that walketh in darkness and poison etli at noon day. IMMI G If A Tl ON TO THE SOIT/I. The New Tori; 1 inter observes in many of the Southern papers a very curious anom aly. They publish editorials of an inflam matory character on the impeachment ques tion, the most disreputable assaults on loyal m< ii at the South, openly indorse the Ku Kiux Klan, and incite Northern immiyro tiou. We do not think their appeals likely to be very successful. No doubt the sub stantial portion of the community South desire to unite moneyed and industrial immigration, but, unfortunately for that section there is a class of men there, mostly young and irresponsible, who generally man age to speak for and overawe the eutiri population. They are the bane of the South. They dragooned her into the rebellion, and they are now deliberately depriving her of the last and only hope of recuperation from the effect! of her folly. I he country offers material inducements for immigration, such as perhaps no country ever before did. A fertile soil, cheap land, and plenty of it, a delicious climate, the best natural system of water communication in the world, mines of mineral treasure and mountains of ore—her physical attractions are unparalleled. The conditions of civiliza tion, moreover, are all at hand. The settler lias not to abandon the comforts of the world and isolate himself for life from his fellows. A ready market is at hand; communication is open with all parts of the land. The main trunks of her railways arp at least surveyed, built, and in partial operation ; her forests are cut away, and the malaria of new countries dispelled; churches and schools are built; the frame work and machinery of civil government is provided. In short, the South offers to the settlers the advantages ol anew eouutry without the drawback* Oou eidering all these things, the question is asked, why is It that wc have a iurfeit of capital that will not cross Mason and Dix on's line ? Why is it that immigration aud investment fore* their Way through the passes of tho Rocky Mountains rather than enter the inviting fields of die South ? There can he no prejudice or |Kilitieal,feel ing in this thing. It is a matter of business, 'The iqiewor is simple. It is not plcasaut— the probabilities am that it is not safe—for Northern men to go into the Southern mates to live. If they do not practice it themselves, the majority of tho people South encourage a system of proscription which is revolting to men and women who go among them to live ns neighbors and friends. It is not from timidity or fear that North ern *en refuse to go South to live. The bulk of them have faced Confederate steel aud heard unmoved the roar of Confederate artillery. Tint they are unwilling to live in a land where they must suffer implied insult, if nothing more, from morning till night. They are not willing to expose a wife and children to the chances of Southern civiliza tion. Most young men of ordinary means and manly impulses would rather take a woman to the frontiers than to a Southern plantation or a Southern village. More Ilian this- Northern young men arc un willing to expose themselves daily to a street fight or tavern brawl. Such encounters in their eyes autl under our civilization tire disgraceful, and it is folly to go in the" way of them. Os course there arc many places where this would not occur. But until there is some earnest demonstration on the part of the whole South against, such atrocities, 'hey must, in the common nature of things, be received as indications of the condition of the country. When this fact is under stood and appreciated at the South a differ ent course ot events will follow. If Southern editors, above all others, would realize the force of wluft we have said, we are quite sure that they would do their country more service t’out they seem to he doing it at present. Special Corrcs. of Washington Chronicle ] A TETTER FROM GEORGIA. Triumph of Reconstruction in the Late Election —Proscription of Union Men htj the Rebels—Attempts to Intimidate Re pitli/ir lit Voters—Attempt to Incite. ( t Riot in Augusta Rebel "Christianity ’ llltts tratal--Hon. Foster lllmb/ett. Acui/sta, Ga., April 25, 1808. COM: It A I, REMARKS. The week jttst closing has been one of the most exciting in the annals ol Georgia, although its excitement could not have tran scended its importance. For the second time since the rebellion the principles of liberty, Union, and equality, have mot their intolerant at.d proscriptive enemies at the polls, and the result is such as to cheer every patriot heart. No Northern man, who Inis not spent a great deal of time in the South, and mixed promiscuously with its people, can torni any adequate conception of the noble courage which it was necessary for the white and black Unionists to display to win this victory. When I look back at the power ful agencies which were employed by the Confederates—for I tell you that this elec tion was just as much a contest between the ITnito'l States tool the Southern Confederacy as was the battle of Gettysburg or Ohieka muiiga—l wonder at our success,, for you must remember that nine tenths of the wealth of the State is in the hands of the Confederates, and they have not hesitated to use this wealth to defeat the Constitution and the gallant Bullock. It may not bo uninteresting to mention some of the agencies re-sorted to by tiie Democrats. Os course it is well known that nearly the entile colored population tire employed by the Democrats. It is safe to say that there was not one employer in twenty five of this class tlmt did not notify his or her employees that if they voted the Radical ticket they could eat no more of their meat and bread. The merchant was notified that if he did not vote for Gordon and ngainst the Constitution ho would receive no more | atronage. The white mechanic was threatened with dismissal, and persons refused to speak to—and if they did speak, it was only to bitterly curse —those who were known to favor recon struction. Intimidation, violence, ar.d money, have been freely resorted to by tin Confederates; but all without avail. Tho friends of reconstruction comprehended the immense issues at stake, and they have proved themselves noble defenders of im mortal principles. I say they comprehend ed the importance of the contest: with tho black matt it was a contest for freedom in (act as well as in theory; with the white man it was a fight for the light to live iter". THE ELECTION IN THIS CITV. 1 was a close observer of the progress ol the four days’ balloting in this eitv, and must say that i never saw as little fraud, where more than five thousand ti txoox exer cised the right of suffrage. Gen. Meade’s orders were strictly carried out, and even the Democrats admit that those orders estab lished fairness between the parties. Fairness —but there’s the rub. It. was just vvliat they did not want. However, it is just what they got. Yet, the K. K. organs here asserts that Irauds were committed. Nonsense I Each party had its challengers present, and those challengers manifested great zeal in behalf of their respective parties. Hence,_iio man, white or black, was permitted to vote whose right to do so was not clearly established. ATTEMf'T TO GET UP A lII.OT. The polls were closed at G P. M. on Thursday. During the entire election the young bloods were intent on fomenting a riot, which was only prevented by the ex cellent police arrangements of Mayor Blod gett, and she cordial co-operation of Major Trowbridge; id' tho Regulars. But, alter the polls closed, their certain defeat made them desperate They could no longer restrain themseiv s. Garland A. Snead, brother to one of their candidates for the Legislature, mounted the steps of tiie court house, and exposing his pistol, the carrying of which was a direct violation of General Meade’s orders, as well as of the law, pro posed three cheers for General Gordon, which were given with groans for Bullock, Blodgett and other Unionists. This at once created the greatest excitement. Clubs, brickbats, knives anu pistols were bran dished with fearful promptness. Several policemen were struck by the chivalry, and one or two colored men cut. The Mayor and Major flaw-bridge soon quelled the disturbance and dispersed the crowd. The Confederates were not satisfied, however. A crowd of them gathered near-the post office, and, unfortunately, a crazy colored man passed and knocked a lady down, when the aforesaid bloods commenced shootiiu' negroes in ail directions. Luckily, they were so blindly furious that they diilio harm. Blodgett’s billies aud Trowbridge's bayonets soon dispersed tfieso rioters’ 1 feel binnilinted as a man to have to add that the Demncrttta express the greatest regret tliaPfbe crazy negro was not sane, so they could be justified in killing all the negro«| in it? -But such'is Denioc «*y- . . I’ltoscßii’Tioit in the pulpit. A State Convention of the Baptists of Georgia assembled here yesterday, and one of their first acts was to proscribe the only Union paper in the city, the National Ha- I’UBl.ican. “I believe it is- usual on such occasions to preparo accommodations for the reporters of such papers as choose to attend, hut on this occasion the Convention invited the reporters of the Ku Klux organs, and when the pastor of the church horo earnestly appealed to the Convention to include the reporter of the Republican, the Convention indignantly voted the proposition down. The ltEruiii.ic'AN is thus insulted and proscribed for no other reason tliun its advocacy of reconstruction. There are more Baptists connected with that paper directly and indi rectly, than with all the other papers com l ined. The uncharitable vindictiveness of this Convention is only exceeded by its unblushing impudence, Jor while the doors of the Convention are slammed in the face of the reconstruction paper, some of its mem bers are quartered on citizens tcho are recon struct ionisfs. SUItKW II DODGE. The Democrats flatter themselves that many colored men voted their ticket; but 1 have reason to know that not more than twenty live or thirty, out of nearly three thousand, actually so voted. They were too sharp for those who wished them to declare at the polls, by voting for Gor don, that the negro had no right to vote. They secretly obtained tickets printed on precisely the same kind of paper and with the same kind of' type as the Democratic, but containing the entire Union ticket. It was thus that black men and white men have found it necessary to protect them selves in the exercise of their rights against the powerful proscription of infuriated secessionists. Nearly six hundred white men voted the Radical ticket in this city, at least four hundred of whom are unknown to the Democrats, and to the great mass of Unionists themselves, as Republicans. FOSTER BLODGETT. It would be unjust to pass in silence the eminent services of this distinguished Geor gian. “Redeemed, regenerated, disen thralled,” Georgia owes more to him to day than any living man. Asa member of the Stale Convention, of which he was the acknowledged leader, lie so directed legisla tion as to frame a Constitution of which every Union man is justly proud, and which commanded the support, of many Democrats; and as Chairman of the Union Executive Committee of the State, he “organized victory.” I know that District Attorney Fitch lias had him indicted for perjury, in that he has taken the test oath ; but when the trial comes, and all the facts are elicited, his right to do so will be triumphantly vindicated. Mr. Blodgett lias taken tho. test oath, ntid feels justly proud that he can take it. He has taken it once, and will soon he called on lo take it again. I have no means of know ing whether Gen. Butler was simply guessing when lie predicted that Foster Blodgett would soon appear on the^floor of the Senate as the equal of the proudest of them ; but if he was lie guessed like a prophet, 1 for Foster Blodgett, will be elected to the Senate. Y'ou will find that there is not a more active worker or truer man in that entire body. I Richmond. I A woman, with a bundle, marched into a Summit street store, in Toledo, on Thursday evening, walked up to the proprietor, who was seated, and dropping the package on his knee, said to him : “There, that’s your'n ; I've kept it three weeks, as long as I want it, and you must take cure of it,” or words to that effect, and forthwith unceremoniously detiarled.

Cincinnati, May 1, 186S. hNitor National Republican : The provision market has, much against the wishes of some and tho views of others, stiff further advanced since toy last, and tho trade seems to be quito healthy, yet the absenco of speculation has done much tostimulate the views ot holders, the orders being chiefly tram actual consumers, both for present aud forward delivery. Prices arc certainly reaching a high point so early in the season, and such a rapidly advancing market to lie sustained lias never been in the history of the trade before, yet stocks are con ccntratcd in strong hands, and there may be no decline, but the willingness of many to realize, while they have so good and sure a protit, may result in at least n lull in the trade, if not an actual decline.

New York Potion Hcvteiv. Nkw York, May- 1, 1868. Since our last review no essentially new ele ment has been introduced into the cotton ques tion. Tho Abyssinian war has ended, but it will tako so long a time to remove the army, stores, etc , that "no incroase of freight from Bombay can be expected until after the wet season has set in —a period too remote to have much Gleet on the price of cotton. The cable advises that the Bombay exports for the first half of April were 30,100 bales, but the course of the Liverpool market has been a strong argument that these figures are erroneous. Our receipts are very small, and for all practical purposes we may consider the crop as in. The stock on hand not on board ships seems very small, and wo do not think Europe can look for more than 60,001) bales in addition to shipments now on tho way or about clearing. Taking this view of the case, let our home trade be as bad as it may, we must look for a higher range of prices, for tho supply of Europe is fully 600,000 bales short compared with the present rate of consumption. Short time will of course correct this deficiency, but it does not seem that current prices are high enough to induce such a movement. The rice crop of India is reported as excellent, and this moans a largo demand for Manchester fabrics. Tho political horizon of Europe has no signs of a war cloud, and abrlsk trade mustbo looked for. Lastly, the home trade of Great Britain is ex cellent., on account of the promise of large crops, and when wo consider that an active home trade will take one third of the productions of .Man chester, short time at 12Jtl. seems a very remote myth. Irt another month, or six weeks, the prospect of our crop will have more or less influ ence on tile markets of Europe, and it is not perhaps to look at the promise of the yield of 1868-69. A great change of feeling on this point has come over the market of late; the stimulation of high prices is every where, ac. ' ll wedged, hut tlieio arc some general priori, pies ami physical (acts, quite ss powerful ns Gfv stimulation of 30 cents, which are at work in —; » thil country ai counterbalance* to the- hopes of a big crop, the general impreesion seems to be that the crop of 1887-88 will be a maximum measure for that of 1868-69. It is a notorious faet th«t a Urge number of mules hare been disputed of taring the Wintor to the Northern and Border States by those who planted on a large scale drring the past season, and their ability to ejdtirote is correspondingly dimin ished, even if tho disposition were as strong as last years Cttton planting, since the surrender, has been anything but lucrative, and from every section wo hear the report that farmers fear to entor extensively into the cultivation of a staple whieh has paid a loss for three successive sea sons. * Another poiut should likewise be considered— the political agitation incident to a presidential campaign caauot fail to seriously detract from the amount es cotton picked, for the laborers are in the main forking this season for wages and have no direct personal interest in the crop, while the politicians will do their utmost to turn the attention of the freedraen to babecuos and prurex consequently from their labor, at tho period ol the crop. These three general, apply to all the wit stock, fears of the los-rcs ol three successive years, iical agitation incident to the vote. In addition to these gmUnniuees, the late rains have necessi. tated the replanting of a large amount of tho cotton sown It is true that a long Autumn will remedy the damage of a late Spring, but the most severe rains have occurred in the mure Northern of the Colton States, where at best the season is short, and whero they can ill afford to replant at this season. The above reasons seem the foundation of the growing belief in a small crop next year, and Europe will sooner or later believe in them; for having been so greatly misled last year concerning tho size of our crop, a rush to the other extreme is most prubable next season.
