RESTOItA TION.
We published, yesterday, the good news
that civil government Ims at length been
restored to Georgia : that her latfs were
hereafter to be made by her own Legisla
tures and executed by her own officers.
We have zealously labored to these ends,
and though the means by which they have
been brought about were in some particu
lars repugnant to our ideas, yet if ever the
maxim, “the end justifies the means,” were
applicable, it was so in the case of recon
struction. We should have been glad to
have had (lie whole people participate in
the work which all professed so earnestlv
to desire to have perfected: but if the
whole would not partake in the restora
tion ol civil law and self-government, the
work must be done by a part. It had to
be done.
Georgia has been restored to flic Union,
but there remains yet one act to be done
by her Legislature to enable her to take
part in the National Councils ; and that is
the ratification of what is called the
amendment to the 14th Article of the
U. S. Constitution —the sum total of which
is that representation in Congress shall
hereafter be based upon the voting popu
lation. Wo have little doubt that the
amendment will be ratified, and that
Georgia will be fully restored to her status
ante helium.
Thus far, then, the question of recon
struction is settled—it is an accomplished
fact. It may suit some parties to keep up
a contest about dead issues, and to rake up
grievances out of the ashes of the past, but
without an armed revolution, or with ib
what is done can not be undone. It would
seem to be the part of wisdom to acquiesce
in the inevitable, and to devote the time
anil talent which lias been wasted upon
abstract and political questions to more
practical purposes. We are told, time and
time again, that Georgia possesses more
sources of wealth than any other State of
the Union. These resources have to be
made productive; it can not be done by
eternally quarrelling over this or that po
litical question, but by encouraging in
dustry and inviting capital to our borders.
Those who desire to make Georgia what
she should be, should uphold those who
strive for that result, no matter by what
party name they are called, end discounte
nance all who attempt to obstruct the State
in her road to prosperity.
ANO Till: II [ifPE A 01I3IEN1.
It is reported from Washington that Mr.
Thaddeus Stevens has prepared another
set of articles of impeachment against
President Johnson.
After the utter failure of the former at
tempt, it would seem that anew one could
he prompted by' no other than a spirit of
recklessness, for another prosecution found
ed upon the same grounds as that which
so signally failed can be expected to result
only in failure. We arc not one of Mr.
Johnson’s defenders, but as we thought
the first impeachment impolitic and with
out tangible grounds, so we now think a
repetition of the attempt worse than im
politic. The result showed that our
opinion of the measure was correct; it
terminated in the defeat of Congress, and
in a victory for President Johnson. It has
been said that his acquittal was brought
about by bribery and corruption, but we
have failed to discover any evidence of the
assertion, and we shall require strongproof
before wc can be made to believe that
Senators of high character could be
bought with such paltry bribes us Woolley
bad to offer.
If Mr. Stevens has any regard for liis
own reputation, or that of Congress and
the country, he will not again stir up the
fetid remains. All concerned, Congress,
the country, the Republican party, and the
managers of the ease, lost by the failure of
the first attempt, and we are not certain if
they would not have lost more had it
succeeded. None gained by it but Mr.
Johnson himself, and a repetition would
only give him the opportunity to appeal
to the people as a persecuted man and a
martyr.
The whole country needs peace and an
avoidance of more causes for agitation.
There are material and practical interests
suffering from the want of quiet and the
attention of our legislators, without going
into a useless and Quixotic fight against
the Presidential windmill. The time of
Congress can be better spent in the resto
ration of harmony, the strengthening of
t!ie Union, and the repair of the disasters
caused by the war. The questions of
finance and taxation loom up in large and
dangerous proportions, and until these are
disposed of, there is no time to spend in a
contest which is sure to bring nothing but
'a renewal of disaster upon its originators.
IS GRATITUDE.
The delegates to the Democratic Con
vention and their followers display great
ingratitude to those who have labored for
reconstruction, and at length succeeded in
effecting it. If it had not been for the
“carpet baggers, scalawags, and niggers,”
they would have had no opportunity of
going to New Y'ork in the important
capacity of delegates to a National Con
vention ; they would have had no chance
to be feasted, lionized, and looked upon
with awe and admiration by the Loco
focos, male and female, who swarm in
that cesspool of nations—New Y'ork city.
Besides all that, their brags about how
much they intended to do for the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency would
have been empty nonsense. Had it not
been for the aforesaid scalawags, etc., the
Democracy of the now reconstructed
States would neither have participated in
the Convention or the election. Y'et they
manifest no gratitude to tlieir benefactors,
and revile the very men and means by
which they are made of some account in
the world.
DUTY OF YU IT AG MEN.
In every year, thousands of young men
attain for the first time to the dignity of
the elective franchise. In closely contested
elections these new voters may decide the
result, may by tlieir ballots designate the
officers who shall hold the reigns of gov
ernment, and ordain the policy which shall
control the nation and determine its
future. Ylen who have become enlisted in
partisan controversy are held by pride of
opinion and consistency to adhere to tlieir
creed and their leaders. Those who are
unfettered by such considerations arc free
to eliooso tlieir ground, to select their can
didates untrammelcd, to direct their po
litical action to the best and worthiest
interests of the republic.
What, then, is, in a word, the political
situation ? Two parties are in the field.
One party is that which met the storm of
rebellion, bravely and firmly. The record
is recent. It employed all the resources of
the government to save the Union; in
success and in disaster it pressed steadily
on to the. final victory. If the war had
failed, the odium would have attached to
it. The glory of the victory is distinctly
its own. The same party has led back to
tlieir relations to the Union seven of the
ten revolted States, and lias brought them
hack without a servile, hostile population,
with labor and education free, and with
institutions resting oil tlic consent of all
classes of the governed.
The other party has been simply and
only destructive. It opposed all the mens
ures of the Government for sell-preserva
tion ; it gave its sympathies and its
prophesies to those who were in arms
against the Government; it struggled per
sistently to prevent the abolition of slavery,
although in it lay the strength of the re
bellion. The same party has protested
against a reconstruction based on the prin
ciples and the policy which won the victory
over the rebellion.
The Union party fought the war, and
organized the peace. The opposing party,
falsely called democratic, never enlisted
heartily in the war, denounced all the
strong measures essential to success, and
now threatens to violate the conditions of
peace formally established and ripening
into quiet and order and beneficent pros
perily.
Let us do no injustice to the Democratic
party. Individual members of it have
acted a patriotic role and adhered to its
organization. The latest windmill the
professional grumblers have to combat is
Negro suffrage. Even that the party seems
‘willing’ to acquiesce in, as the price of
return to power.
Between these two parties one striking
difference exists. In every ease from the
beginning of the war to this hour, the
progress of events lias justified the course
ol the Union party in its grand measures;
and in every case they have exposed the
hollowness and meanness of the preten
sions ot the sham democracy. Step by step
the country has approved of the Union
policy, and constantly the democracy have
been compelled substantially to con less
that its evil prophesies were wrong, its
attitude lalse, its pretensions a blunder
and a crime.
The tault of the Union party, if it has
been a fault, has been faith in the Republic
and its principles. Its opponents have
been carping infidels, having no trust either
in the. cardinal ideas of the Union or in Un-
American people. With whom ought the
young men of the country to cast their
fortunes?
The candidates of the Union party fitly
represent the faith and fidelity which in
civil life and oil the field sustained its
principles and thus saved the Republic.
No matter who may lie designated on the
other side, the persons selected will repre
sent the grumblers and carpers of the war,
an<l the opponents of the confident heroism
which was our salvation. Possibly the
New Y'ork convention may, by acquiescing
in the situation, acknowledge the con
structivc wisdom of the work of the Union
party. That will only l>c a frank confes
siou of the offences of the democracy in
the past.
The party of the future is the party
which never despaired of the Republic.
That is tlie party for young men to cast
tlieir fortunes with and to work for. *
[Communicated.
ALL RAIL!
Messrs. Editors — A light broke in upon
the masses of Georgia, tlii s morning, that
will thrill the heart of4 very true lover of the
State with joy in xpi e:i-i,.lc. Our grand old
Commonwealth, torn an 1 shattered, yet
vigorous and hopeful, is atiout to resume hot
plate in the Union whence she was, in a
manner, drugged some years since.
As far as the National Legislature is
concerned, Georgia has been set right
adjusted—“right side up with care.” It
only remains for the General Assembly to
carry out the wishes of the people by adopt
ing, without debate, the XI V article, and
acceding to tin: “fundamental conditions.”
The Chronicle «(• Sentinel labored last
week to prove that the conditions could not
be accented by the Legislature, notwith
standing the XI section, XI article, new
Constitution. The labor was rancid, and a
lifeless mouse the result.
The people have already proved their
readiness and willingness to accept condi
tions imposed by the “powers that be.’’
Hundreds of men —white men —of whom you
wot not, quietly deposited their ballots in
favor of Builockand restoration; synonyms
o the very essence of peace and pros
perity. Those men are firm as they are
quiet, and right impatiently have been
looking for the gladsome information we
received this morning.
Thanks to Gov. Bullock for that business
like proclamation. The lvu-Kluxites, of
course, denominate it “sharp and quick,”
and religiously declare that it was issued at
this time for the purpose of staving off the
Democrats. Well, does not the Chronicle &
Seulinel claim to bo the Democratic paper of
Georgia—known and road by all men ? Y’ea,
verily. Then the faithful must be advised
upon the subject; for the sum of that relia
ble Atlanta dispatch found a place in the
columns of the Chronicle <0 Sentinel more
than one time.
Lot them alone ; they he blind leaders of
the blind.
YVith the civil authority restored in Geor
gia, wo can go on conquering and to con
quer. A great contest awaits the Repub
lican:; of this State, Wo must prepare for
it; be up and doing—alive, active, tireless,
hopeful—but not too confident, because too
much confidence oft times creates lethargy,
and lethargy is tantamount to defeat.
We can baffle the hosts of Democracy
without resorting to the weapons they most
depend on—vituperation ami falsehood. Let
them crawl in the sewers and wallow in the
mire and clay, the Republicans of Georgia
must march with their foreheads to the sky.

The New Directory. Mr. Trow’s
Directory for 18G8-G9 lias been issued. It
contains 185,731 names, an increase of
8,434 over the number in the last volume.
There arc nearly 2,000 Smiths, not in
cluding the German Schmidt or Sillicit, the
corrupted Smyth, or the more genteel
Smylhe. There are also Smithsons, to say
nothing of the daughters, Smitlnvicks, Smith
men. In fact, the name seems to have
been first broken into Smithereens, and
then the pieces put together in the different
forms. Os Browns, there are nearly 1,000,
not including Bromic, Browne, Brownsons,
Brownings, Brownwells, ilrownlows, etc.
Joneses are fewer, only 500. There are
Broadleet, Broadhesuls, Bulls, Cocks, Katz,
a pair of Chicks, many people who are
Sweet, others Green, YVliite, Black, and
several lteddy. There are Spring, Summer,
Winter, but no Autumn: Waters, Lakes,
Rivers; plenty of Churches, one Chapel;
Coffins, Cash, Cakes, an 1 Cheese; several
Andrew Johnsons, one or two Dickens, one
Gladstone, no IJ’lsraeli, two John Brights.
Three years ago the Directory contained
the names of no storekeepers in Union
Square, now it is full of stores. Greene
street is filling up with publishing houses ;
Printing House Square is monopolized by
newspapers ; Maiden Lane devoted to oil
dealers; Water street to tobacco; Wall
street to finance, which also prevails in
Broad, William, Beaver, Nassau and New
streets. Thirty years ago the dry goods
trade was confined to Pearl and l’ine
streets and Maiden Lane, and later to
Church and adjoining streets : now ii has
moved up town, to White street and there
abouts. West and Front streets are the
home ot grocers. The present volume seems
to have been compiled with cure, and the
immense amount of information it contains
is well digested and arranged. —hew York

The Enoch Ardex Case. -Some years
ago. Paris Shirley married a Miss Tate (step
daughter ol Richard Houston), near Bloom
ington, in this State. Some time after the
marriage, Shirley removed to Illinois, where,
in the course of time, he bought a drove of
cattle, and, ailcr sending his wife and chil
dren back lo Bloomington, to remain with
their friends until his return, he started with
his cattle to California. A short distance
beyond Salt Lake City tie was captured by
the Flathead Indians, and his cattle confis
cated. Ho remained in captivity some eight
or ten years. During all this time his friends
heard not a word from him, and he was
supposed to Ik- dead. In the meantime, his
wife sought and obtained a divorce, and was
married, about a year ago, and removed with
her husband to Illinois, and now comes the
sorrowful part of the story. On Thursday of
last week, Shirley returned to his father’s
(John Shirley’s), near Bloomington, in bright
anticipation of a happy meeting with his
beloved wile and children; and, when told
that his wife was married, he wept like a
child. Wo learn that lie has written his late
wile a letter, alleging that he lias the oldest
claim, but the courts can afford no relief. So
closely did the “red skins” keep Mr. S. con
fined, that lie never heard a word of the
rebellion until he made his escape, only a
short time ago. He bears upon his person
uumistakable evidence of hard treatment,
but he considers this a small matter, when
compared to the loss of the mother of his
children. —Mitchell {lnd ) Commercial.

GRAND UNION RALLY.
GRANT, COLFAX, AND VICTORY.
I here will be a grand Union Republican
Mass Meeting held in the city of Atlanta on
Saturday, the Fourth of July, to ratify the
nomination of Gen. Ulysses is. Grant for
President; and Hon. Schuyler Colfax for
Vice President of the United States.
•Speakers of eminent ability have, been
invited to he present. Ample arrangements
lor the transportation of visitors at reduced
rates will be made, and nothing left undone
to make this not only a decisive demonstra
tion in favor of Grant and Colfax, and peace
and unity, but a withering rebuke to the
latent spirit of disunion, as well as a deter
mination of the people to rid themselves
forever of the blighting and accursed rule of
the so called Democratic party.
Rally from the mountains—rally from
the midlands—let all the people come, and
make the occasion a joyous and glorious
jubilee in commemoration of our restoration
to the great sisterhood of States forming
the American Union.

DECISIONS OF THE SUPREME
COURT—JUNE TERM, 1868.
Jane B. Holmes, Administratrix, Plaintiff
in Error, vs. the Central Railroad aud
Banking Company', Defendant in Error.
Case from Burke.
Walker, J.—ln a ease where a railroad
train ran over and killed a slave, who was
on the track, at a point sixty yards from a
public road crossing, the Court was re
quested to charge the Jury “that the
plaintiff is not entitled to recover unless
the Jury find from the evidence, that the
defendant was guilty of gross negligence,’’
which charge the Court refused to give ;
the Jury having found a verdict against
the Railroad Company, anew trial was
moved for, and the Court granted the
motion, on the ground that the charge, as
requested, ought to have been given, and
on the further ground that the verdict was
contrary to the principles of law, equity,
and justice.
Held, that although the charge requested
was properly refused, yet upon the facts of
the case, the granting of the new trial was
right. Railroad Companies, by their agents,
should exercise all reasonable care and
diligence in the running of their locomotive,
cars, aud other machinery, and are liable
for damages caused by their failure to do
so. Judgment affirmed. T. J. Jones for
Plaintiff in Error. Walton, Jackson,
Lawton A Passenger for Defendant in
Error.
Miles G. Dobbins, Plaintiff in Error, vs.
Walton & Walton, assignees of the Au
gusta Insurance & Banking Company, cl
id., creditors. Equity from Richmond.
Walker, J.—Section 1195 of Revised
Code, which prescribes the order of paying
off the debts of an insolvent hank, and
part 3 of l 1493 which gives the bill holders
a priority over other creditors in the pay
ment ot debts, apply only when there
lias been a forfeiture of the charter and
a receiver appointed by the Court;
they do not apply in the case of an assign
ment by the hank io pay its debts according
to the requirements oi the law.
The Augusta Insurance & Banking Com
puny made an assignment of its assets to
assignees for the benefit of all its creditors ;
among the assets assigned were forty four
shares of llie capital stock of the Georgia
Railroad & Banking Company, which, by
the assent of the last named bank, were
transferred to the names of the assignees on
the transfer book and a certificate of stock
issued in their names by this bank. At the
time of this assignment and transfer, the
Augusta Insurance & Banking Company
was indebted to the Georgia Railroad &
Banking Company in the sum of $38,288,
for which amount the Georgia Railroad &
Banking Company had a lien by law upon
the said slock.
In ascertaining the respective rights of
various creditors of the Augusta Insurance
A Banking Company, the Court below
decided that the transfer of the stock to the
assignees did not defeat the lien of the
Georgia Railroad & Banking Company.
Held, that the Court decided right. Judg
ment affirmed. Win. Doughartv, by the
Reporter, for Plaintiff in Error. Miller,
Ganahl, King & Black, Hook & Carr, W,
