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. Vice la Republic! Oldham. Augusta, Ga., June 26, 1868. 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 Sun. 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. It is said very refined young ladies never use the word "blackguard,” but substitute “African sentinel.” If a girl is absorbed in self love, they say to gain her affections is to minister to her self love until it overflows ; all that runs over will he yours. A poet was read in.- one ol his effusions to Talleyrand. “Not so loud” said he to the poet, at the same time pointing to a man yawning in the street, “he hears you.” They do things queerly in Mississippi. One of the papers report that a Candidate for public office was recently before a police court in Jackson and lined $25 “forgetting whipped in a street fight.” 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.

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, Hull, for Defendant in Error.
