XATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Chicago, May 19, 1868.
After a pleasant journey of alnnit fifty
hours from Atlanta, we arrived here on
Monday morning, passing through Ten
nessee, part of Kentucky, and, by the
Illinois Central Railroad, over the splen
did prairies of Illinois. The trip was
without accident or occurrence worthy of
mention, except the brutal assassination,
by one of his companions, of a young man,
upon our train, aland two miles from
Nashville—an account of which you have
doubtless seen in the Nashville papers.
We found Chicago crowded to its
utmost capacity with visitors from even
point in the Union, and the trains still
come in loaded with passengers. Proba
bly there never was in any city in the
I'nion so many strangers congregated for
like purpose* os arc here collected. There
are now three convocations, comprising
delegates and visitors from every State.
The Methodist General Conference has
been in session some days, and has col
lected representatives of that Church from
all parts. The Union boldiers’ and Sailors’
Convention commenced its session to day,
and the Republican Convention will sit
to morrow. Withal, it may be imagined
that Chicago swarms like a bee hive.
Politics, of course, is the subject of all
talk at present. The nomination of Gen.
Grant is a fixed fact. No other candidate
will appear against him, despite the bogus
dispatches sent to all parts of the country,
asserting that he declined the nomination.
In the Soldiers' Convention to day, when
ever allusion was made to him by any of
the speakers, it was received with the
wildest enthusiasm; and when General
Grant's father appeared upon the stand,
the cheers that went up fairly shook the
house. The expressions of enthusiasm
were only equalled by those of detestation
when the names of any one of the seven
Republican Senators were mentioned who
voted against the conviction of Mr. John
son. It is impossible to appreciate the
bitter feeling which exists here against
those Senators, especially Trumbull, who
is from this State. They are politically
(.lead and buried.
The sole division in opinion among
delegates here, is as to the nomination of
the Vice President. Taught by bitter
experience, the Convention will nominate
no snan who is in the slightest degree
doubtful. Thu importance of the .office
has been much magnified, and as it was
formerly considered of little consequence
who was the second man on the ticket, so
now it is thought essential that none other
than a true and faithful man should hold
the position. Os the men spoken of,
Wade, Colfax, Wilson, and Fenton of New
York, are the most prominent, and at the
present writing the chances seem to be in
favor of Colfax.
The delegates from the South meet with
nothing but courtesy and kindness from all
sorts of men. Not a word is uttered that
could offend even the most touchy of the
Southern Democrats. The contrast between
the speeches in the Soldiers’ Convention
to day, and the rancorous fulminations of
some of the Democratic orators in Georgia,
was most refreshing. Nothing was said in
abuse of the South and Southern men,
although the speakers could not have been
aware that any Southern man was present
in the vast assembly. A fixed determina
tion was expressed to restore and maintain
the Union at all hazards and at every cost,
and to this the audience responded with a
hearty Amen.
The Republican Convention meets to
morrow at 12 o’clock, and will probably
continue in session three days. We will
endeavor to keep the Repubj.ica.n posted
as to the progress of events. C.

We have no disheartening reflect ions
uiron the exigency into which the country
is thrown try the Impeachment trial, but
a desire, rather, to accept the situation as
it is. and from evil evoke a greater good.
Mr. Fessenden said in his latest speech,
“the future is in the hands of Him who
made and governs the universe,” and so it
is. It is not in the power of all the com
binations of evil men on the face of the
glolie to thwart His purposes of right, nor
is it within the scope of all the machina
tions of men and of devils to impede the
righteous ends that Providence will surely
eventuate.
Hon. Fostkii Ili.om.KiT, of this State,
was one of the Vice Presidents of the Na
tional Republican Convention, at Chicago,
that nominated our next President of the
United States.
Accident to G. W. Adaiic. ~ Col. Adair
was thrown from his horse on Thursday
evening, as he was riding out to a sale of
property appointed for that time, and dis
located the elbow joint of the left arm, in
consequence of which the sale did not take
place. The injury was adjusted by Dr. W.
F. Westmoreland, and we learn that Col. A,
is doing well. He hopes to ho at his nllicn
in three or four days, and will sell the pro
perty advertised lor Thursday last, about
Wednesday of next week. Atlanta Era,
Saturday,
The highest and most graceful steeple in
England, that of Chichester Cathedral, fell
seven years ago and ruined the building.
At an expense of about ?270,000, the struc
ture with its steeple has been restored, and
its consecration services have recently been
attended,“occupying three days.

THE KtOHT rouor.
The Athens Watchman of the 20lh. re
late* the following incident, whion wo have
read with great gratification. God bless
the women, and especially the women of
brave old Clark countv—our homo for so
many happy years, and around which will
cluster, wherever we may go, and to life’s
latest hour, some of the brightest memories
that gild the highway oi the Past. We
commend their example to their sisters
everywhere. We approve, most heartily
approve, the policy indicated. We lmvo
said before, and wo repeat hero, that there
is no weapou so keen and certain in its
sweep, as the rigid ostracism, social, politi
cal, and in business, of those who have
deliberately elected, in this struggle, to
emulate the treason of Judas Iscariot. They
have declared, by their acts, that they
desire and are working for the destruction
of the rights, and liberties, and property
of those whom an inscrutable Providence
cursed with their kinship. They have
raised, for tho foulest and basest purposes,
their leprous hands against the very life of
Georgia. They have brought reproach, many
of them, upon the fair fame of honored sires,
and dragged in tho loathsome slime and
filth of tho Radical shambles, genealogies
heretofore without spot or blemish. They
have basely betrayed and insulted the wise,
jthe good, and the virtuous , into whose com
pany sorno of them have been received as
equals, and to whose countenance and pat
ronage they are indebted for all the power
they have so basely prostituted. Let them
be anathema maranalha, henceforth and for
ever 1 Let no man assail them by violence,
though. Let no man even engage in verbal
controversy with them. From the most
brazen and conspicuous apostate of them all,
down to the vilest scullion who fattens and
revels upon the dirtiest offal, let the policy
be absolute and uncompromising nen
recognition. Our enemies have shackled
our arms, but freedom of will and thought
are yet left us.
But to the incident. Says the Watchman :
Wo Uiirn that at a Missionary Ilaptist Church
in this county, last Saturday, tho ladies of the
congregation having learned that their pastor,
who resides in another county, had voted tho
Radical ticket at the late election, determined
to ascertain whether the charge was true, and if
so, declino to hear him preach. There being no
males present, tho oldest lady was deputed by
the others lo interrogate tho minister, who
“acknowledged the corn” at once ; whereupon
she informed him that there was no u.-o in
coming thoru to preach the next day, a; tho
wholo congregation had pledged themselves Hot
to turn out to hear him. 110 replied, ia sub
stance, that, being a free country, every man
had a right to vote as ho pleased, and he re
gretted that politics should bo mixed up with
religion. The old lady replied, that she bad
nothing to do with polities, and did not believo
politics and religion should be mixed together—
and that, if this was a free country, she and tho
rest of the congrcgition had a right to rofuso
to hear an unacceptable minister preach ; that
tho recent contest was not ono on political
differences, but between tho races, and that
when a white man voluntarily aligned himself
in opposition to his own people, it was time fur
them to drop him.
The above precious morceau appears in
the columns V>f the immaculate journal,
whose self conceited editor assumes tin
role of Sir Oracle to dictate to flic people
of Georgia in political matters, and who
would fain prescribe the ethics of morality
and the religious obligations of the excel
lent community in which the distinguished
Athenian (of the F. F. G.) has lit his gas
bgbt.
We have but a few remarks to offer con
cerning this non intercourse bull emanating
from the Pope Ananias of the Journal it
Messenger — passing by the very choice dic
tion displayed in its composition. it
behooves thcßcpublicans, in this chivalrous
clime, to understand precisely what is the
attitude of the Democratic-Conservative
party toward them, anil forthwith prepare
to meet the issue with all the resources and
ability at their command. We have been
waiting, listening anil looking for some
protest against its outrageous assumptions,
denying the right of its journals to speak
for or bind the Conservative party to such
apian of persecution —social outlawing and
business and religious non-intercourse
but we have waited, listened, and looked
for in vain; not one word, that we know
of, has licen uttered in reprobation, and the
old maxim of “silence gives consent” is
forced upon our attention. Very well.
Republicans now have no alternative. It
is not allowed them (as we have repeatedly
counselled) to cease from partisan bitter,
ness. They can not live in peace while
they cultivate Union and quiet. They
must act on the defensive —and that not as
politicians, but as men, as citizens, and as
Christians. Cnder these circumstances, it
is important for the friends of the Union,
for Republicans, to act advisedly and in
concert all over the State, and, indued, all
over the Union. It is really a question
now not of politics only, but of actual
existence. Tin: rallying cry is now one of
extirpation from the soil of our State, and
the struggle is for life and all that makes
life valuable to freemen.
The edict has gone forth: “We must
ignore all apostates to their color and kin
dred.'' We see only one difficulty in this
pretty scheme of diabolism. It will be no
trouble to such as the Journal <6 Messenger
man to distinguish his friends by race and
color, but when lie gets to the “kindred,”
lie will be in a peck of trouble. A very
large number of the “kindred” of his
friends are not of his color, and arc not
Democrats. Verily, Ananias, that was a
most unfortunate word. How could you
so far forget yourself as to use that word
“kindred,” when you knew that the “ice"
on whom you called to ignore and taboo
would thus be compelled to outlaw and
taboo their own sons, grandsons, half
brothers, nephews and cousins, as another
color and mixed race, “kindred” neverthe
less ? It is wicked, exceedingly wicked,
Ananias, thus to array and embitter “kin
dred” of the same blood against, each
other yet you have done it ill vour unnat
ural edict. Hut white lle/iiibliruiis have not
this peculiar iniscegenative tie of consan
guinity to impede their action in the duty
now before them. And we hazard the
prediction, the colored Republicans will be
faithful to that “race" of “color,” of their
“kindred that never oppressed and dc
graded them by their cruelty and lusts.
2. It is not a war for Patronage. That
is gone, our Athenian censor well knows
Republicans may be assured that the
patronage of this Bla!.e shall be bestowed
to the advantage of the Republican laborer
and Republican interests. The victorious
party will see to it that the men who were
true lo themselves, their country and free-
dom, shall not suffer from aristocratic
tabooing,
9. It is a war on Business. Republicans,
wo must accept it. It is intended to ruin
us in our business, to starve us and our
families. But it is a game two can play at,
Uy all that wo hold dear, by all the pledges
of freemen, let us stand by each other.
This is the hour of our trial. We must
now from this day “give the preference in
all our business transactions to merchants,
traders, mechanics, and laborers” who
stood I>y the old flag and the party ot the
Union. It is the ban of our enemies—let
us now live under it. This is the order,
and we must now meet it in the determined
strength of .those who are right, and trust
in the God of Justice.
4. This is a Social ban. For this the
honest and pure yeomanry of Georgia care
not a jot. The Republicans will soon
create their own society; official position
and capital will not need mourn for want
of the society of e fie its aristocrats. The
occasional glimpses the Republicans get of
it now, when the curtain is lifted from its
secrets by the late bondsmen, do not pre
sent it in a view that makes it ftiviting, or
that will cause any regrets on account of
the social ban by the innocent and the pure
in the Republican ranks.
5. Religious proscription is commended
and advised by our political opponents.
Upon this point we have already had out
say. We an ill only add, in this connec
tion, that we can but regard this spirit of
anti-Christ as a great calamity—a stum
bling block to the unregenerate Avorld.
The members of the churches are the
sovereigns of the land, and, at the ballot
box and in the public councils, control
the legislation of the country. The sec
tional controversy which produced the
late unhappy war was maintained with as
much apjiarent bitterness in the Church ns
in the State; and inasmuch as the
churches divided first, they ought (we
respectfully submit) to bo foremost itt the
restoration of fraternal relations, or at
least in the manifestation of a fraternal
spirit. As Christians, they arc pledged to
adorn the doctrines of God, their Saviour,
by tbe exhibition of a spirit of meekness,
forbearance, and long suffering toward
their brethren of the Kingdom, which, its
Blessed Founder assures us, “is not of this
world.” *
c nil's.
“Thieves never court friendship and asso
ciation with gentlemen ”
What kind of “thieves” is meant—those
who practice on mules, or a “man and
brother” from Pennsylvania ?
“The sneaking villain who resorts to the
loav cunning and base arts of the profes
sional blackguard and slanderer, lias an
utter abhorrence of all that is pure, and
virtuous, and honorable, and patriotic.”
The new convert, at the confessional, thus
rightly portrays his personal experience.
“We would really like to know how long
decent humanity in the South lias to eon
tinue to bo insulted at the hand of the
miserable, sneaking scoundrels, the off
| scouring of the North and the : pewoJ up
scum of die South, who are now riding
upon the depraved political element that is
threatening to deprive the South of every
vestige of honor. From tho depths of an
agonized heart, we cannot refrain from
crying out, ‘how long, oh, how long, shall
miserable scalawags and Yankee sneaks be
our masters and rulers?’ ”
That’s heavy. Give the inquirer a small
dose- -ay two drums-of paragorio (per.
haps mead would suffice), and a good sweat,
and lie will no doubt feel Getter. Then let
him and his ‘‘respectable” party learn to
behave with something like decency to “the
powers that he” for, say, twelve mouths, and
we will, if called upon, answer his plaintive
question put from tiie “depths of an
agonized heart.” *

Washisuton, I). (J., May 20, 18Gb.
The impeachment of Andrew Johnson
for the nonce is dropped, and all eyes are
turned toward Chicago. A dispatch re'
ceivcd from that point this noon announces
the election of General Carl Sehurz as
temporary Chairman, and also that before
the adjournment to day, and before a
platform is adopted, General Grant will bo
nominated by acclamation. I predicted the
last movement weeks ago in this corres
pondence, and find that my prediction is
likely to be fulfilled.
Sponges, a creature known in animal
life from antiquity, whoso nature has always
been a subject of dispute, belongs to tin:*
lowest order. The rehearsal of the political
organization has thrown to the surface a
class of men of the sponge order, who have
many of the qualities pertaining to tho
animal sponge. Your political sponge has
recently been discovered in choice quanti
ties in the United States Semite and else
where in political organizations. 'They seek
to absorb everything about them, and fail
ing in this, make an effort to destroy. To
these sponges we owe Johnson's acquittal
on the Eleventh Article of Impeachment.
One had failed to absorb the Chairmanship
of the Senate; another had absorbed the
control of the Treasury Department, and
would stand a good chance of getting it
squeezed out of him, in case Wiulo got into
the White House ; another had absorbed a
young mid beautiful sculptress, and so 1
might go on to tho end of the list, and show
how each one of the derelict Republican
Senators had absorbed, or exported in nb
■orb something, which the placing of Vice
President Wade in the White House would
interfere with; hence we find the President
acquitted of Iho most comprehensive charge
brought against him.

An Interesting Breach of Promise
Case.— The great breach of promise case
lias come into court at Providence, where
Mrs. Delia M. Albro, a widow of forty, sues
Thomas J. Hill, twice a widower and sixty
years of age, for damages to her reawakened
affection, to the amount of SIOO,OOO. From
the statement of the plaintiff it appears
that Mr. Hill entered upon the contract
with great circumspection, deliberately
choosing her out of a trio,upon one of whom
lie had' determined to place his affections,
and going so far as to have her head ex
amined phrenologically to ascertain her dis
posit.on before committing himself. She
avers that, before Mr. Hill’s attention
became marked, she supposed that sho
could never regard any man with* tender
ness, and continued in weeds of mourning,
lavishing all tho affection upon her son.
Tho defendant’s income for 1860, however,
was $120,000, and soon her heart began to
warm toward him. The engagement was
contracted, and, as she expresses it, earth
became new to her; its sounds were music;
its sights were things of beauty ; her for
tune was spanned with the bow of hope.
She commenced the preparation of her
trousseau and received the congratulations
of her friends; when there came an unex
pected peal of the door bell, and her
betrothed entered with what she describes
as a clouded brow. “Delia,” said lie, “I
have como to tell you that 1 am not goiug
to marry you.” “Why,” said she, “what
misconduct have I been guilty of?” His
reply was, “Circumstances prevent me.”
Although he offered to pay for her trousseau,
she will not be comforted, but demands a
douceur “commensurate with the injury
done and the defendant’s station.”
