THK ELECTION.
Our .-qiccial dispatch from Atlanta settles
the question as to the Legislature. Both
branches art' Republican by a sufficient
majority. The majority for Oov. Bt'M-OCK
cannot Im aseertaimsi until the official
count.
Upon the ltepublican party now devolves
the onerous responsibility of restoring to
Georgia the prosperity mul peace which
she lost by the war, and restoring the State
to her place in the Union. A task will
devolve upon the administration just going
into power greater than has fallen to the
lot of any previous administration. Let
us hope they will exercise such wisdom,
justice and moderation as will extort even
from their bitterest enemies the meed of
approbation.
PRESS ASSOC]ATION.
A little squad of folks, representing, as
they claim, the Southern Press, met yes
terday in the Chronicle office. There were
not enough of them to till one of our street
cars, and perhaps they were right in not
meeting in a place where the paucity of
their numbers would not be so ludicrously
apparent, but as there were other places in
abundance which would have been neutral
ground and not the enemies'country, it
would seem that by the rules of civilized
warfare they should have selected such
neutral territory for our comfort and con
venience. Os course we could not attend,
and don’t therefore know who were present
or what they dill. This Press Association,
like the telegraphic reports it furnishes, is
a one sided concern.
Since the above was in type we have
received the proceedings. We find there
were represented the following papers:
Columbus Sun a- Timig, and Columbus
Enquirer, by Mr. A. R. Lamar.
Savannah Kicir* cf Herald, bv Major W.
T. Thompson.
The Montgomery AJicrli.it r, by Mr. W.
W. Screws.
The Macon Jounitd d' Meiitiajcr. and the
Macon Teleijra.ph, by Mr. A. W. Uccse. of
the Journal <t Mi nft r.
The Augusta Constitutionalist , by Mr.
Stockton and Mr. Randall.
The Augusta Chronicle <£• Sentinel, by Mi
Moore and Mr. Walsh.
The Charleston -»«■* by Mr. Walsh.
The Tri-Weekly Madison Visitor, by Mr.
Shecut.
The Secretary being absent with the
books and papers, nothing was done, and
the work is to be continued this morning.

SOU Eli SECOND THOUGHT.
Among tbe many encouraging signs of
the times clearly visible in ‘*our own sunny
clime, ’’ we know of none more cheering
than the endorsement in yesterday's Con
st notionalist of the well-timed comments
upon Southern Defects, coming from the
New Orleans Picayune. We hail the con
fession. and its reiteration by our venerable
cotemporary, as proof positive that “there's
life in the old land yet" anew and better
life.
The writer of the article to which we
have alluded is evidently a t rue friend to
the Southern people: he points out their
faults and deficiencies, and urges imme
diate reformation In reminding them of
their failure of success in almost all their
past enterprises and aims—speaking of
them as a class, and not as individuals—he
attributes such defeat, chiefly, to the lack
of that pendente which should have checked
excessive zeal, all extravagance of expecta
tion, all violence of language, all bitterness
of feeling, and have prevented the useless
wearing out of the powers of mind and
body in hopeless assaults.
The intelligent editor urges, therefore,
the cultivation of a more patient and en
during spirit—“the gift of continuance," —
and arrives at this logical conclusion:
When our people learn to quietly and ob
servingly guide themselves by the condi
tion of things as presented to them when
they comprehend the necessity of using
the in struments now in their hands, rather
than vainly regret the loss of those which
have passed away, when they adapt them
selves to circumstances, and patiently en
deavor to adapt circumstances to their ad
vantage,- and when, having found the
way of wisdom and ultimate success, they
continue to follow and work in it, though
the rate of progress be slow and the labor
be difficult and tiresome, they will 1 lave
overcome their greatest enemies, their own
impatience and irresoluteness.
-I FOUL STOUT CONTRADICTED.
A nasty story, relative to a. member of
Den. Mower's family, is going the rounds of
the Democratic journals. It is just such a
lab' hood as those papers delight in being
told on a United State- officer's family,
which is particularly delicious to them.
They gloat over the infamous slander w ith
the satisfaction of buzzards over carrion.
Kvcn those which have some pretense to
decency and truth publish it with unction.
We find in the New Orleans papers the
following contradiction, in spite of which
the falsehood w ill continue to be published)
and its readers will hear nothing of the
contradiction through the Democratic
press.
New Oat.KAXs, April 28. Intis.
Editor Unlit tin : It is with feelings of
deep regret—not unmixed with contempt
that I find in your paper this morning an
article under the title of “The .Ship Island
Mystery,” in which the family of Den.
Mower are made to figure in a most painlnl
light. The whole story of the alleged out
rage npm (Jen. Mower's daughter is false
from beginning to end, and has no belter
foundation than the following :
One night after the family had retired,
one of the men belonging to tile com maud
entered the room where three of the children
were asleep, widi the object so doubt, of
stealing some of the trinkets belonging
to the girls. One of the children, aged
eight years, was awakened _ by the noise
and screamed out, thus giving the alarm.
The man was at once secured, and oruoreu
to undergo sorno light punishment. At ine
time I left Ship Island it win reported that
ho had deserted, .
Asa relative of Gen. Mower, I fool it a
duty to give the nliovo plain statement of
facts, which have been so shamefully exng
gesatml as to call for this reply to your
article.
ST It A H'N.
The Columbus Sun calls for a complete
socinl, political, commercial and religious
proscription of the army of scalawags,
from Aaron A. Bradley down to Joseph E.
Brown, who, in the recent election sought
to bring ruin and dishonor upon the State.
Chronicle «f- Sentinel.
The editor of the Sun is, no doubt, a
member of that class of politicians whom
the thought of “poor men" aspiring to
oflicc greatly offends. The ('. & S. Ku
Kluxer is an illustrious example of that class.
Some men, we are told, are given over to
believe a lie that they may be thrown into
the hands of old cloven foot. The ancients
tell us that the Gods first make mail those
whom they would destroy. The advocates
of proscription had better ponder the path
of their feet. Tiny are already in the “gall
of bitterness." They are lighting against
the truth ; their reward awaits them, and
as speedily as the election excitement
wholly subsides, so soon and so surely will
they be renounced by those whom they arc
attempting to lead.
But, mark the prediction, these very meu
will, in less than ninety days, whirl about
being transformed into zealous advocates
of the measures, which, though they appear
harsh, are destined, under the management
of new men, to restore to Georgia more than
her former prosperity.
Judge Dunning's motto is a tine one:
“sew mkn and new measures.'’
We have suffered long enough from class
legislation and old fogyism. A glorious
era dawns for the people, and the people
arc aware of it.
Onward! March onward! That's the
word. This is a practical age.
Ernest.
MEETING OF THE SUPREME
COUNCIL.
As many of our readers are deeply inler
estod in the success of the A.*, it A.'. B.*.
R.*. we publish the proceedings of the Su
preme Council of Sovereign Grand Inspectors
General, of the Thirty-third and last Degree
of the A.-. A A.’. S.\ R.\ now being held at
Charleston, S. C.
This Council embraces in its jurisdiction
'lie Southern and Northwestern States, Cali
fornia and the Territories. The Supreme
Council for the Northern jurisdiction of the
United States embraces the Northern and
Eastern States. The Southern Supreme
Council was established at Charleston in
1801, and is composed of the most learned
and distinguished Masons ol the States
within its jurisdiction, and according to its
constitution can never consist of a larger
number than thirty three, and no one is
entitled to membership unless unanimously
elected. The Grand Council is the highest
body in the brotherhood, and its sessions are
lielil biennially, the last being held at Wash
ington in May. IBfifi.
The Courier says that the meeting was
held at the Hall of the Delta Lodge of
Perfection, when'the .Sovereign Grand Com

read his address, after which the Council
went into secret session.
In the evening, tin no tubers of the Sit
promo Council sat down to a banquet given
by Delta Lodge of Perfection No. 1, in
honor of the illustrious visiting brethren, at
the Charleston Hotel. Illustrious Brothel*
Hon. Henry Buist presided on the occasion,
and after the cloth was removed, made an
able and eloquent address, in which he
welcomed the illustrious visiting brethren to
the Masonic hospitalities of Charleston.
Brother J. Barbet Cohen, of Delta Lodge of
Perfection, did the honors at the other end
of the table. The following illustrious
brethren were also present:
Albert Pike, .Sovereign Graud Com
mander; A. G. Mackey, Secretary General
of the Holy Empire; F. Webber, J. 0.
Batchclrlor, A. G. Abe l, it. J. Nunn, W.

11. Howe, It. F. Knott, 11. W. Gray, A.
Lindstrom, Titos. Chandler, Isaac C. Bate
man, It. K. Withers, Char. D. Beecher, J t

The occasion was a most happy one, and
was closed by sentiments offered to the
health of absent brethren, and the following
two toasts:
By Illustrious Brother A. G. Maekoy.—
Happy to meet. Sorry to part—happy to
meet again.
By Illustrious Brother Albert Pike.—
Health to the Hick, relief to the needy, com
fort to the distressed, rest to the weary
everywhere.
Representatives were present from every
Southern and Western State.
The London Owl furnishes the fol
lowing late naval intelligence: “The Ark
was built in Messrs. Sliem & Jnphet’s yard,
the foremost shipbuilders of the period. At
her launch, though from her size and build
it must have been clear that, she was lies
lined lor rough service, nml not for mere
coasting, which was then the onlv trade, no
remonslranee s < ms to have heeii addressed
to those in iiuthorily. She was a three
decker anil Clipper-plated. She wnH fully
provisioned ; evidences were ample that she
had no intention of putting into any port,
but that lo r mission ivns to keep the seas
lor mi indefinite |V I iod. At.the mid of bur
cruise nothing besides herself was left on
the surface of the ocean. She held uinlis

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washikuton, 1). C., May 3.
To relatu one titho of tho political rumors
pervading tho air of the Capital, with more
or less fact for foundation, would fill a large
volume. Tho first in order, and perhaps the
most important, was promulgated oarly last
week, to thu effect that, because a cei lain
class ol Republicans were afraid of what Mr.
W*do might do with’the Chicago Convention,
in case he was placed in power by tho Ist of
May, Senators consented to bn harangued to
death. In other words, the Hood gates were
opened, and everybody was allowed to speak
against time. Think of men, already physi
cally prostrated by disease, speaking plati
tudes tor three days in succession 1 No one
is so stupifiud ns to suppose that these har
angue; will change the vote of a single
Senator, hence a motive for permitting this
intiiciion is looked for elsewhere. Mr. Wade
to day is the scape goat; ns the time for Mr.
Johnson's retirement from tho White House
approaches, the political cauldron seethes and
bubbles at a fearful rate, and nil sorts of
politicians mousing, ami other kinds are
brought to the surface. Mr. Wade, all testify
with one aeeor.l, has been remarkably
reticent, refusing to take part in Cabinet
making, or give any encouragement to those
who would dictate for him a policy. Hence
there are those who profess to see great
danger in his occupying tho White House
before the Republican Convention meets at
Chicago. “He Would,’’ says one, “with the
million (more or less) of offices at his dis
posal, so play his cards as to control that
Convention ; and as he is a Western man,
and it not being goodfepoliey to take both
the candidates for President and Vice Presi
dent from the same section, lie would cer
tainly sacrifice Grant!” That is one of the
horrible pictures drawn. How much truth
there is in this supposed possibility I am not
prepared to state, but of one thing I am
quite sure, tho end of the impeachment trial
might as well have been reached last week
as four weeks hence, and there is not a
shadow of excuse for this delay so far ns
appears to outsiders, unless it tie a political
necessity.
When tire trial will now end is a some
what difficult question to solve. If the
Democrats and a minority of the Republi
cans so will it, the ease may very easily be
carried over to tire 4th of March, 180 U. 1
say what every one here knows is possible.
If a majority of the Senators decide that
each member of the Court shall have thirty
or fifteen minutes at one time on each
question raised, when could such a discus
sion over be brought to a close, if anything
was to he secured by delay ? Democrats
were disgusted with impeachment before
the trial commenced, and Republicans will
be, 1 f. ar, unless the case before the “High
Court" stands upon its own merits. Sen
ators are but human beings, and people'
will talk. Already the city is full of heated,
anxious, laborious politicians—all having
some axe to grind, and no object in com
mon. If the trial of Andrew Johnson is
not brought to a close before the 20th in
stant, talking will be apt to connect the
verdict in the one case with the convention
which assembles on that day. There arc
political charlatans, it is believed, who
would sacrifice the national welfare to secure
personal aggrandizement. Some of this
class occupy positions of influence, and
their domineering course towards men be
longing to the same party, but differing on
questions of expediency, lias brought mat
ters to a crisis. For five or six months, the
Republican party has been ruled with a rod
of iron, and if this domineering spirit is
not relaxed, there i, danger of a serious
rupture, if any reliance can be placed upon
what men say. Besides three or ‘four sec
tional cliques operating here, at the present
time, there are at least a score of personal
cliques, struggling for a combination to
secure tho advancement of particular indi
viduals. Ihe friends ol Gen. Geary are
here in full force, urging their favorite for
the l’reodcney, hut would, doubtless, be
satisfied with the Vice Presidency. Gov.
Curtin’s friends are not idle, and are san
guine of his giving strength to a Grant
ticket, Senator Wilson's friends arc also
active - none more so, however, than the
Senator himself.
The Weed inllti.-me liming the last week
his rather lavor-d a Southern man with
Grant tin- most, available person being
Mado yol South Carolina. Governor Fen
ton’s friends are also oil the alert, and meet
with the most bitter opposition from the
Weed and Raymond school of politicians.
A majority of these political rings favor or
proles to he favorable to Grant’s nomina
tion, ami it is alleged there is a combined
effort to prolong the trial of Andrew .John
son, to prevent any possibility of Mr. Wade
and his Irienda exercising an undue influence
over the Republican nominating Convention.
It is not believed that any Senator could be
induced to deviate from the course iiis judg
ment as to the guilt or innocence—might
dictate, but while tikis is undoubtedly true,
with such a crowd of personal and political
friends as are now in Washington, pretexts
may have been found for delaying a verdict,
and Senators, imperceptibly perhaps, may
have been influenced by these surroundings.
The Democratic muddle continues. Tiie
Democratic Executive Committee—or a
majority— it is well understood were a feu
days ago in favor of nominating Mr. Pcndlo
ton. The Local Executive Committee of
this District, snubbed by the National
Committee at tho meeting held here in
February, have been managing their cards
so as to resent the insult then offered. This
local committee was under Johnson in
fluence then and it is under thu same in
fluence now. Johnson, failing to be recog
nized by Belmont & Cos., got up a combina
tion to throw Hancock forward to defeat
Pendleton, i lie result of the movement
thus far, is that Hancock holds the vantage
ground ; the first great issue raised is to
compel the national committee to take the
back track by calling the nominating con
vention to incut before the 4th of July—
the day agreed upon on February 22d last
flic congressional committee sides with the
local committee, and Belmont A Cos must
yield or something will break.
FUULIC SCHOOL TEACHERS
of the District threaten to rosign, in a body,
unless the three months salary now past
due is paid forthwith.
Wo have it mixed city government—
Democrats and Republicans—and Mayor
Wallach and the Register, both of whom
are required by law to sign warrants for
the payment of money, arc standing on
their dignity, while tho poor teachers are
made the unwilling victims of their punc
tilious conduct.
Another year it is believed the city offices
will all he held by Republicans, and a stop
will bo put to nil tli£se disgraceful squabbles.

Several public spirited men of largo

in the District, is to be provided with a

AN INDICATION OF RETURNING
REASON.
A correspondent of the Memphis Ava
lanche, writing to that paper regarding the
need ol immigration, rebukes his neighbors
as to their treatment of new-comers, on
account of their places of birth, and says:
Now what 1 have here stated is a faet;
there are men among us, Fathers in Israel,
whose locks are white with years, that ex
press themselves just at 1 have stated.
They don’t want Yankees. They don’t
want Western men. They don’t want tho
English, unless he be of noble birth. Aiul
as for the Dutch, they are all Abolitionists,
to a man. Now, Mr. Editor, I have no
sympathy with such feelings or expressions.
1 do want thu Yankee—the Boston (Massa
chusetts) Yankee. 1 want the jnfluence
and example of a people who can and have
created great States, built cities, tunneled
bills, created railroads, built churches,
erected school houses, built manufactories,
and caused a cold, barren, inhospitable
clime to flourish and blossom with verdure,
life, animation and beauty.
I say I want the Yankee. I don’t care if
his ancestors did burn witches, nor if he
does sing psalms on thanksgiving day ; nor
shall 1 have any quarrel with him if he
should come down here and make his notions,
build his school houses, manufacture his
shoes, and read his old family Bible, or even
celebrate the landing of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth Rock. I say I want him ; I like
his pluck, nnd admire his thrift and energy;
I honor his perseverance, and tho sooner we,
as a people, adopt some of his notions, tho
better for us—l mean to create at home all
we consume, and make something to sell. I
say, Mr. Editor, I never try to keep the
Yankees out of Mississippi or Tennccsce,
that is, if they come hero to be citizens.
Old John Brown may march on to glory
just as fast las ho can, but I want to
make it the seat of empire; i
want it populated with a good law and
order people ; 1 want the thrifty Pennsyl
vanian ; 1 want the Jersey Blue ; I want
the Yorker if he docs say shilling ; I want
tho Western man, who can and lias grap
pled with the forest; I want the thrifty
German to make his kraut and drink all the
lager beer he likes, but I want him to plow
and plant and got rich; I want the cool
calculating Scotchman; and I don’t object
to a smart sprinkling of beef eating English
—they are good workers. Give me the
muscle and practical brain, and wo won’t
quarrel about his plum puddings. I say it
is a white population I want; a self sustain
ing, self relying, law and order population
that 1 want, and come when they will, I
shall welcome all that come to stay. Can
they he induced to come? I say they can.
How ? Just treat every man that comes to
your section with courtesy ; extend to him
the right hand of fellowship ; let him feel
that you are anxious to have him setlle in
your community.
The Democrats and tiie Negroes.—The
Now York Timet, which can hardly be called
a Radical paper, in commenting on the
course ol die Georgia Democrats in seeking
the vote of the colored citizens, contends,
very conclusively, that they are precluded
hongciortli from denying to the negroes the
franchise, and that, by seeking their help,
they arc precluded lroin denying their right
to vote. I'lia Times says :
Supposing the statements lobe true which
point to occasional political alliances between
Conservatives tied freedmen, with what rea
son of propriety can the Conservatives in
question persist in their opposition to negro
suffrage? l! they arc not above seeking the
help of negro votes, they cannot, with any
decency, deny the right of negroes to Ihe
franchise, or their fitness lu he trusted with
it. (jitalific ttiotis may be insis’ed on, hut
tire safety of negro suffrage, under certain
restrictions, they cannot well dispute.
The elections have made il clear tln-t there
is no necessary antagonism between the
raei s, even at tho ballot box. Where antag
onism docs exist, we suspect that it derives
mu !i of its force from the failure of tho
whites to profit, as in Georgia, by the
opportunities which intelligence and the
own, iahip of property confer. At any rate,
the dogma that this is only a “white * man’s
Government” is now seen to be wholly
untenable. The Georgia Democrats helped
to extinguish it when they sought and ac
cepted Id ick votes against the Constitution.
The Reconstruction Committee ox the
Constitutions ok the Southern States.—
The Washington Correspondent of the. Now
York Ha aid, writing under date of the 30th
ult., says : “A meeting of thu Reconstruc
tion Committee was held this morning, which
lasted for some time. Tho question of
restoring Soutli Carolina aud Arkansas to
their former relations witi> the other States
was considered at length, and the Constitu
tion of the first, named State, which is tho
only one hero, was the subject of discussion.
No final conclusion was arrived at, tho
whole matter being postponed until the
Constitutions of the other Southern States
arrive. Tho purpose of the Committee is to
hive nil the Southern States restored to 'the
Union under Constitutions as nearly alike
ns possible, and presenting a positive uni
formity on tho subjects ol education and
suffrage. On Saturday next another meeting
will be held, at which time it is expected
that the Constitutions of Arkansas, North
Carolina,. Georgia and Louisiana will have
arrived, and the Committee he enabled to
adopt some definite plan of restoration. It
is believed, however, and generally conceded,
that all ol the States will be admitted to
representation and to their former positions
in the Union, under the Bill reported on yes
terday in tho 110u.‘6.”
The editorial Washington corres
pondent of tho Commercial thinks that the
Republicans, us a party, would find advan
tage in letting Andrew Johnson alone, lie
says:
“Andrew Johnson would serve tho Re
publicans, if lie were permitted to remain
in office, as a spared monument.”
We think he'd make a better monument
in a (political) graveyard. Should be re
main set up in nllico, we fear Patience
would find tt hard seat to sit on such a
monument. -Cincinnati Chronicle.
It seems necessary, says the London
Cowl Journal, to inform those who attend
at Court of a point ol etiquette to which
their attention lnvs apparently not been
culled, namely, that gloves should not be
worn in presence of tho Sovereign. That
is the praciso rule, but usually the left
glove is worn. The right hand glove should
on no account lie worn by those who tire
presented.

true one, for boys who use tobacco. “It has
utterly spoiled and ruined thousands of boys.
It leads to the softening nnd weakening of

tobacco, is never known to make a man of
much energy, and generally iacks muscular
and physical as well ns mental power. We

anything in the world to shun tobacco as a
most baneful poison. It injures the teeth ;
it produces an unhealthy state of the lungs,
hurts the stomach, and blasts the brain and
nerves,
