National Republican V I • lI’STA . UA. FRIDAY MORNING May », 1868 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 ■' of |*;»i ICilO' llt. Hi- Ftgli-i. ic. w-. M-o i• * lie union «»f * 'iiiirch :tu*l . -in! tie *T_y ,»| 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 m:ij.,ii|v, the i* h*t«- .niijofiti i- 13/'!9.

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: Constitution. Uovkrkor.

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'. South Uakomna.—The Republican ma jority in North Carolina will he about 30,000. llohlcn, the Republican candidate for Governor, and the whole State ticket are elected by nearly the same majority. The Republicans will have 32 of the 50 Stale Senators, and 08 of the 122 Represen tative*.

He further orders the levy of additional poor taxes. Communicated. 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*. ICoinmuuic iteil. 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 G urgi i. bn.

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. The Election in Georgia, Vote for the Constitution and Governor r-ntTM-rvu CONSTITU- II COUNTIES xio.v. GOVERNOR DISTBICTS.

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."

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.
