F*or PRESIDENT
Os tub United States:
ITLISBKS S, KRAUT.
WaMW
It may lw o-i down as a rtxocl !•*”*• in
politic*, that tin- party ami the ciinilhlaUsi
who nrc most likely to I*' successful arc
those it|»on whom Ihe most lies an* tol«l,
and who are the most vehemently and un
scrupulously calumniated ami slandered.
Those who are the most feared are those
who are the tnaat libelled, hvery reader
of history knows that fact, and every one
who is iu the least conversant with our
polities for the last forty years, from the
time of (leu. Jackson until now. When
arguments fail, political demagogues sup
ply their place with falsehoods and libels
upou the private eharaeters or puhlie nets
of their opjuments.
The slanderers are generally unsueey ss
fnl. They lay if on so tliiek, that people
begin to think that sueh monsters as they
repreaent their op|Mineuts to !«• do not
exist, heeause they never met. with them.
Besides, there is a substratum of generosit y
m human nature that prompts men to side
with those who are evidently persecuted
and maligned. The detection of one false
hood, told upon a candidate, leads the
people to lielieve llmt every thing else that
is said against him is false.
The Democratic papers and orators may
apply this to the recent election. So utterly
reckless were they in their slanders of the
principles and candidates of the RepubU
can party, that no stretch of credulity
could make them believed, and the result
of their course has been the large Repub
lican majority in the State. There can be
no better omen of success, in a good cause,
than to be c&luiuuiatcvl and persecuted.
THE FOREIGN NEWS.
The sudden rise of Disraeli to the
Premiership of Great Britain was only
paralleled by his sudden fall. The explana
tion is to be found in the fact that the gov
ernment of Great Britain is more directly
accountable to the people than that of any
other country, not excepting that of this
very free and happy republic. Public
opinion here persecutes, assails and pro
scribes individuals who will not give up
their free thought to the tyranny of the
majority : there public opinion allows in
dividuals to think and speak as they please,
but rules the government. Our high
officials hold on to office in spite of the
dissatisfaction of the people; there, when
the popular will is expressed through a
parliamentary majority, ministers, and even
royalty, must respect rt.
Disraeli has tendered his resignation of
office ltecuuse he mistook or disregarded
ptihlie opinnm <- "V Bv a maiorit ■'

no Popery” has htretoloro excited them
to frenzy. But more lila ral ideas have
gained ascendency. The manifest injustice
of compelling the people of.lreland to sup
port the <'ljuicli of England, while nine
tenths of them arc Unman Catholics or
Dissenters, was too glaring for the sense of
justice of sturdy John Bull, and accordingly
when Disraeli opposed the severance of
the connection between the English Church
in In land and the Government, ignoring
the fact that the world had advanced
beyond the bigoted days of the Tudors and
the Stuarts, he Ibuml a majority of the
people, represented hv a majority of the
House of Commons, against him. lie
tendered his resignation, as imperative
custom required. Would any of our
Cabinet, officers have done the same, finding
themselves obnoxious to a majority of
Congress
There is no iloubt that a large party in
England, and one which is rapidly gaining
strength, is opposed to the connection of
Church and State. The tendency of the
age is tow ards Liberalism, and the English
people, slow to act and to adopt new ideas,
arc rapidly becoming liberalized. The
Priesthood will make a desperate effort to
retain their property in the “souls of men,”
but the day is not far distant when the
voluntary system of support to the Church,
and the liberty of the people to choose
their own religious guides, will !»• estab
lished forever. The Priesthood in this
country, who are so fond of uniting politics
and religion, may learn a lesson.
The resolutions of Mr. Gladstone, tiie
great rival of Disraeli, the adoption of
which by the House of Commons caused
the resignation of Disineli, were as fol
lows:
First. That in the opinion ol the ilonse>
the Irish Cbutcli should cease to exist as an
establishment, due regard being had, how
ever, for personal interests and the rights of
property. Second. That no new personal
rights should be created,and tin- commission
on tlie Irish Church should limit its opera
tions to matters of immediate necessity,
pending the final action of Parliament upon
the whole question. Third. That a petition
should he presented to the tjueen, praying
that the Clintcli patronage ol Ireland be
placed at the disposal of Parliament.
Bami'so.v- The fiery little Pham is. of
Columbia, is making awful mouths at Gov.
Orr —threatening to rid itself of the
“Radical yoke," etc., etc,, “l>y every legiti
mate method that God and the laws per.
mit,” and it's going to keep awake, too, in
order to «lo this big thing. The Phaaif
inquires, “If Bampson is to husband his
strength and recover his power, would you
lay his head in Delilah's lap and let him
Ik- shorn of his locks ?”
We liuvc no doubt Mi Delilah was a
very bad young woman. Hut, if our recol
lection of that Imir cutting affair serves us
correctly, Hatupson didn't make much by
his subsequent attempt, on regaining his
strength, at pulling down an edifice. He
got mashed. _ _
The Isniisiana Republican Convention
completed its nominations Saturday. Two
Presidential electors, and several delegates
to the Chicago Convention, are colored.
WE TEST OATH TO MEMBERS OF
THE LEGISLATIVE.
The telegraph reported yesterday from
Atlanta that the teat oath, it was understood,
would not be required ol member* elect to
the Legislature. Tlii*, if correct, is a rever
sal of the opinion heretofore held by the
military authorities, but as the Republicans
have secured majorities in both branches of
the General Assembly it is not of much
morneut.
We are inclined to think, however, that
General Meade's first position was the right
one. By the terms of the luw the State
Government is provisional uulit the Legisla
ture adopts the Constitutional Amendment—
until then, the Stnte is known to the law only
us it military district, and section 9th of the
last of the military hills expressly and
positively ordains that all officer* cleclat or
appointed shall he required to take the "test
onth." The section reads as follows :
See. 9th. That nil members of said Boards
of Registration, and all persons hereafter
elected or appointed to office in said military
districts, under any so-called State or munici
pal authority, or by detail or appointment of
the district Commanders, shall he required
to take and subscribo the oath of office
prescribed by law for officers of the United
States.
THE HE ULT.
Ihe smoke has blown from the tieid
of battle, and we arc prepared to give the
result of the recent political contest with
certainly.
Bullock is elected Governor bv more than
7000 majority. We have elected lour of the
seven members of Congress. Clift, Kepubli
can, bus Jffil'J majority iu tin: lirst District ;
Tilt, Democrat, has 1041 majority in the
Second; Edwards, Republican, has 12'2d
majority in the Third ; Gove, Republican,
has 2101 majority in the Fourth ; Prince,
Republican, has about 12,000 majority in the
Fifth ; Christy. Democrat, has 459 majority
in the Sixth, and Young, Democrat, has
5100 majority in the Seventh.
We are sure of twenty seven Senators —
ten majority—and probably have two or
three more. We are sure ol ninety members
of the House of Representatives. The
Democrats are sure of sixty eight; two are
neutral. We are unable to give the political
status of the remaining fifteen members. It
will be seen that the Republicans have a
good working majority in both Houses of
the General Assembly.
The First Congressional District gives
Bullock 4214 majority, while the registered
colored majority over flic white is but 2285.
The Second District gives Gordon 2445
majority, and the registered colored majori
ty is fiß2s.
The Third District gives Bullock 1290
majority, and the colored majority is 2464.
The Fourth District gives Bullock 1895
majority, ;mhl the colored majority is 2630.
The Fifth District gives Bullock 7850
majority, and the colored majority is 8733.
The Sixth District gives Gordon 540
majority, and the white majority is 11,238.
The Seventh District gives Gordon 5105

itli n registered colored majority of -is's-1
voters, give.- Gordou a majority ol 2445,
while the Sixth District, with a registered
white majority of 11,238. gives Gordon but
546 majority.
The Sixth District is entitled to the bun
tier. The noble Union men of the moun
tains fought a .lorioiH tight for reconstruc
tion, and were joined by the dusky Union
ists from Middle Georgia to the sea. Ihe
colored men of Southwestern Georgia were
badly beaten, heeause they lacked leader-.
If they li.nl been h-1 by such a man as
Adkins, or W iutpy, or Gove, or Ciilt, they
would, no doubt, have done as well as their
brothers in the other Districts. We charge
our failure in the Second District upon the
men who pretended to lead, and not upon
the followers.
Till: ELECUON RETURNS.
We publish this morning the returns from
all the counties but three, Irwin and Telfair,
in which no election was held, and Madison,
from which no returns have been received.- -
We have compared them, says the Atlan
ta Era, with the official returns, and read
the proof and added the columns carefully.
We believe the figures to he reliable through
out. The following is the result:

jority ol 25 on joint ballot, even granting
that all the Opposition and doubtful mem
bers are eligible.
Our friends in the State and elsewhere
are assured that all investigations will re
sult to the advantage of the Republican
party and increase its strength, notwith
standing the threats and defiant attitude of
the Opposition. The victory is complete
and decisive, and hence entirely satisfac
tory to the victor'.

Editor NtdioiuiTßepublican :
The Chomicle A Sentinel seems to be a
chronic hluuderer. It* article* on politics,
education, news—iu fact, on any und every
subject—has the peculiar Ranso Wright
twist. For instance, on Tuesday morning,
in au editorial on the report of Col. Mill
edge, Superintendent of sueh public schools
its arc situate outside of Augusta, in Rich
mond county, it makeups many blunders as
if its author resided in Ksmscstkia, and was
guessing at the truth.
That paper says that the present public
school system is the offspring of legislation
under Presidential Reconstruction. Presi
dential Reconstruction lias nothing to do
with our public schools. The schools nro
mnnged by the Inferior Court, nnd a person
appointed by the Ordinary and Judge of the
Superior Court ns heretolore. The “aid
system” which the Chronicle says was
“worse than no system at all,” and the
present system, which it is constrained to
commend, are one and the same.
The failure in the past was because
public officials were not the friends of popu
lar education, and did not desire success.
The rich were able to pay for knowledge,
and it suited the purposes of the aristocracy
to have the children ol the poor ignorant.
BuCnow the progressive spirit of the Repub
lican J.’nrty controls ; that party favors the
education of the poor as well as the rich, and
the result is so satisfactory that the Chroni
cle exultingly claims it as the “offspring of
Presidential Reconstruction.” The fact is,
it is only a foretaste of what the people will
enjoy under the guidance and rule of the
irieuds of the Union.
1 might say more, but for trenching on
your valuable space. It is due that this
much, at loast, should be said for the Board
of Education. llepubuuan*.

REHOLD!
Mr. Editor —A few days since, you gave
your readers a sensible article on "New
Converts." Intelligence from Atlanta
assures us that, the Governor elect is daily
receiving crowds of those very men who, in
the recent contest, used every possible ap
pliance by which to defeat Col. But, lock
and the Constitution. Now they are begging
lor office, under those (as they call them)
debasing, bankrupting laws—the bases upon
which the States are to ho reorganized and
thoroughly reconstructed. The action, the
hardihood of these men Yvn.imls one of the
waiter David Coppefiehl met at the inn,
whilst cu rente for Varmouth nnd London.
Ale, which he said had occasioned the death
ol Mr. Topsawcr, and would inevitably and
similarly affect young Copperfield, he could
drink with impunity, if hurriedly. So these
factionists, who, Micawher-like, are waiting
for something better to turn up, can become
the instruments in accomplishing Congres
sional Reconstruction, without fear of
danger. What would “disgrace, enslave
and bankrupt” others, can be made by their
superior tact to produce a contrary effect
upon themselves.
But such is life, ind we are not to wonder
at it. Governor Burrock, in making
appointments, will be governed by high
principles. He will study the interest of
the people. His appointees, I venture, will
be gentlemen of acknowledged worth,
though of course, we may expect to hear
them t: -.lii.-ed l,v all tie* ti-.li market 'elan,
1 her* .r- thou-imb of '.hit'* m u in

slrucUoii : they voted lor it m the . lection ;
they wilt "Ire found quietly, hut faithfully,
working for it until the happy day arrives
when Georgia resumes her place in the
Union, and after that, true to their record,
they will be true to truth and real Republican
Government.
l’roseripli uiists may gel on the rampage :
indeed, it is to the interest ol the reconstruct
ing party that they should. Their ncwspapi t
lenders am', mutual admiration clubs have
wedded the colored element the more closely
to the dominant party ; every word they utti r,
every sent nee they pen, will create division
in their own ranks, while they strengthen
those of their opponents. Ui.iiham.
Tin. Oiiiotx in- Dixie. Ad,, not wish to
spoil a pretty illusion,'hut the real truth is
that Dixie is an indigenous Northern negro
refrain. No one ever heard of Dixie’s land
being other than Manhattan Island until
recently, when it has been erroneously sup
posed to refer to the South, from its con
nection with the pathetic negro allegory.
When slavery existed in New York, one
Dixy owned u large tract ol land on Man
hattan island, and a large number o! slaves
The increase of slaves, and the increase of
abolition sentiment, caused an emigration of
slaves to more thorough and secure slave
sections, and the negroes who were thus
seat off naturally looked back to their old
homes, as they could not imagine any place
like Dixy’s. Hence it became synonymous
with an ideal locality, combining ease, com
fort, and material happiness of every descrip
tion. In those days, negro singing and
minstrelsy were in their infancy, and any
subject that could be brought into a ballad
vras eagerly picked up. 'I bis was the case
with Dixie. It originated in New York, and
assumed the proportion of a song there. In
its travels it has been enlarged, and has
gathered moss. It has picked up a note
here find a note there. A chorus has been
added to it, and from an indistinct chant of
two or three notes it has become an elabo
rate melody. But the fact is, it is not a
Southern song, and cannot he rubbed out.
The fallacy is so popular to the contrary,
that 1 have thus been at pains to get the
real origin of it.— Cor. N. O. Delta.
The postal car system is to bo extended
somewhat after the first of July. These ears
are to be placed on the New York Central
railroad, between New York and Buffalo. A
New Y’ork paper thus illustrates the advan
tages ol the system. It says the cars are in
use on the lino of the Erie railway, and mail
matter for Washington and the South is made
ready on the trip to New York, and on arri
val ol the cars in Jersey City this matter is
conveyed directly to tho depot of the New
Jersey railroad, and put on tho Washington
car. Mail matter for the North from New
Orleans or other post offices on the Southern
postal car route are forwarded with the
same dispatch on their arrival here to the
depots of the Northern or Eastern railroads ;
and in this way the long time formerly
required to take tho mail bags to the New
York post office and assort them there is
entirely saved, and the smaller offices mi the
route enjoy the advantages equally with the
larger ones.
That Washington correspondent who does
the sensational dispatches for a New Y ork
daily has started, among his later efforts, a
rumor that, if the President be removed,
his Cabinet will refuse to quit, on tliegrmind
that the acting President, not being a Con
Htitutimml President, has no right to remove
them.
The amount of fractional etirroney issued
last year was $378,500; amount of cur
roncy shipped $845,(115 ; amount of United
Hiatus notes shipped $(18,858; amount of
National Rank notes issued $115,490;
amount in circulation $299,455,025. The
amount of fractional currency destroyed
during the weok was $138,200.

Accidental Deaths.—The Laurcnsville
Herald gives the particulars of the death of
an esteemed citizen, Mr. Wm. E. Garret,
who was killed by his horse. Ilia horse
becoming unruly, Air. G. dismounted, to
punish him. when the animal seized his
arm, mangling that and the hand in a
frightful manner. It required the assistance
of several persons to reseuu him and take
charge of the animal, which continued to
show tight, even after severe punishment.
Mr. G. died on the following day.
Tho same paper says that Airs, Ophelia
Henderson, wife of Air, YVade Henderson,
whilo on a visit to her father’s, Mr. John
Davenport, was accidentally shot by her
litilo brother, with an old gun which ho
whs handling, and which was thought by
tho family to have been unloaded. She
lived about twenty-four hours after the
accident. Airs. H. was quite young and
much beloved, and her death has east a
gloom over the community where she lived

Thu'Ramie Fibre. —This new production
is beginning to become an article of trade
in New Orleans, and otic merchant in this
city has received orders for it from New
York, and offers double the rate of cotton
for all he can obtain. A demand lor the
fibre is also springing up in the West, but
no definite orders for it from that section
have yet been received at New Orleans.
Regarding tho merits of Ramie, the Pica
yune says it is-as good as linen cambric or
silk, and when it comes into use, the wearer
will find that, “the chief difficulty will be
that it will not wear out when the fashion
change*) and he will hate to throw it away,
when, alter a couple years' wear, it is still
as good as new."
Is this another morus luttUiuattlis specu
lation ?

A Sevekv IJ.aii. Mon vi.— \\ e have verbal
reports of a very remarkable and destructive
hail storm which passed over soma of the
plantations in the north eastern portion of
this county on Sunday evening last. It did
not happen to be over a mile in width, and
we have yet to learn the length of the
section of country which it swept over.
The bail stones, we are informed, were us
largo ns a hen’s egg, and one man reports
that he found one as large as his fist. They
fell very thickly, too, as is* apparent from
the fne! that alter the -tonn was over they
lay in some pin, where they had drifted,
from six to twelve inches in depth. The
storm appeared to commence about. Mrs.
Glaze's, in Harris county, and to proceed
nearly east. YVe have heard of its destruc
tive effects on the plantations of Mrs, Glaze,
Col. J. A. L. Lee, Dr. Mathews and Edward
Jenkins; and it appeared to proceed in the
direction ut Mrs. Lowe's, in Marion county.
The growing crop was very badly cut up ;
the wheat beaten down and broken : the
corn blades cut into strings and many stalks
crushed ; the cotton so badly cut up as to
make it necessary * > replant hundreds of
acres.
The fruit, also, was- nearly all destroyed
on the places in the path of the .-Gorin. Col.
l.ee thinks that his fruit, on :i place con
taining nine thousand trees, is nil ruined ;
and the prospect of a great trait crop was
very promising before the storm. A great
number of poultry of various kinds, nnd
■ ime pigs, were killed by the hailstones.
Turkeys setting in the open air were killed
or driven from their nests, and • very <jgg
broh n. Y\ indow glass, of course, was |
smacked, and great injury done to llower j
yards, cardans, etc. lor severity and !
destructive effects, ii was .such a storm as is j
not often experienced in this section of ■
country.— Columbus Enquirer.
