“LE7’ f.S’ HA VE PEACE"
These closing words of General Grant's
letter of acceptance arc, of themselves, a
platform more expressive and cxplicitthan
all the labored preambles and resolutions
which it is the custom of political conven
tions to put forth, and which are in general
a mere collection of fine words and sen
tences, cajiable of double meaning. These
four words arc a promise, made in the sim
ple and candid manner so characteristic of
the man, that his administration "shall be
one that shall bring peace to the disturbed
and distracted country.
Far more important to the welfare of the
people than any further agitation of the
dead issues of the past, than the election
of this or that man to office, than the mere
success of this or that party to power, is
the restoration of the supremacy of the
law in every nook and corner of our terri
tory. Especially at the South is progress
impeded by the uncertainty of the situa
tion. Capital avoids us, because wc have
no settled system of law by which property
can lie protected. Political prejudices are
carried into social intercourse and even
into the jury-box, justice is warped by
party heal, and, while such is the case, no
man will risk his property by investing
here.
It is not much better at the North and
West. Commerce and enterprise there, as
well as here, suffer from the unstable
condition of political affairs. No under
taking which involves large expense and
long time for execution is entered into,
without great allowance for political
change and convulsion. Os course, every
such enterprise costs a large per cent. ove r
that which it would were a government in
power with a fixed and certain policy,
without liability to early change, and
beyond the danger of being rent asunder
by civil war.
The platform of Gen. Grant—s
words at the head of this ug
us “peace”—a cessation of agitati<?s’> - >'e
Democratic party are nbout to have a
jenr-wow in New York, in which they arc
to promise the people something, but it
will not be peace. They will have much
to say about the Constitution, and mili
tary rule, and negro supremacy, and all
the otherybZ <Ze rol with which their news
papers now teem, but they will give us no
promise of peace; for the party can live
only by agitation and civil commotion.
All the political disturbances from the
days of Washington down to the recent
civil war, are the work of the Democratic
party, ami it is not to be expected that
they will change their nature at this late
day. But we have no fears of the result.
The soldier Gisant, upon his platform of
‘•Peucf,” will find more favor -with the
industrious millions than any candidate
the professional demagogues can place
upon their platform of continued agita
tion.
—•♦ -
FAME.
There are two ways of getting fame and
jwpularity in this world. One is to be
praised into it. and the other to be cursed-
Os the two. experience shows the latter is
the more effective. When a man is univer
sally denounced, especially by the brainless
and unreasoning majority of a community,
the thoughtful and generous begin to
inquire, as in the case of that Holy One
who was crucified for resisting popular
opinion, “Why, what evil hath he done ?”
When the fools and knaves who constitute
the majority of politicians universally praise
a man. it may Ire set down as an incontro
vertible fact that they do so because he is
one like unto-themselves. The same Great
and Good Being who suffered because He
did not think and act with the majority,
said, “Wo unto you when all men shall
speak well of you!"
So experience shows that the most
effectual way to make a cause famous, is to
attempt by falsehood and persecution to
make it infamous. The wisdom of the
Divine Teacher has in this and in all things
proved infallible. The doctrines He taught
were despised and rejected of men in His
and Ilis apostles’ days, yet now they
overspread the civilized earth. The Phari
sees and Sadducees arc not extinct —they
still revile, they still persecute; but sooner
or later they will have to succumb to the
progress of truth and civilization. Politi
cally, religiously, morally, and socially
their day is drawing to a close, and the
time is coming when wc shrill have no
vainglorious Pharisee loudly and osten
tatiously thanking God that he is not as
other men are, “or even as this re publican.”
PR.INVI PJ.E AND POLICY.
Wc quote the following from a Demo
cratic exchange:
The I)einnT;:< ,y nv iabiiring, otul wiHcoutinue
to labor, to in'lie ih” j.cop'e thoroughly ac
quainted with b uh thn principle) and policy of
its party.
The policy of the Democratic party is
‘rule or ruin.’ I his is its creed, now and
always. To put this question in its true
light, let us suppose that at any time
during the war this party had been in
power, where would our Union have been
to-day? Divided, broken up, scattered.
For the Democratic party to talk of
principle is tantamount to Satan’s preach
ing righteousness. Take any time during
the war, and where stood the Pendletons,
the Longs, the Vtillandighams, anil the
Woods ? Against it every way; ready to
prevent appropriations, the raising of
recruits, or the adoption of any measures
that looked to the overthrow of the rebel
lion. These things were not done in a
corner; but the opposition of the Democ
racy to the prosecution of the war was too
notorious to be kept out of sight.
Now this party talks about making the
people thoroughly acquainted with its
principles. Wc opine that the people
understand their ‘principles’ already. The
Democratic party in its leadership is in
harmony and sweet concord with the worst
forms of secession. We have no wish to
charge a large class of the rank and file
with being unpatriotic. They arc only
misled and cheated by a name, and gov
erned by their prejudices against what is
called radicalism, and also against the
negroes. The, name of democracy has a
charm but as exemplified by the organi
zation calling itself Democratic, it is a
cheat. There is not a principle in the
(modern) Democratic creed that an intelli
gent-, honest man, who will carefully reflect,
can Jieartily adopt. *
0 UTRA GEO US SEN TIMENT.
In an editorial in the Augusta Chronicle.
it- Sentinel of yesterday, the editor, allu
ding to the report that one ot the Colum
bus prisoners had turned State's evidence,
says:
“We blush for our race and for the
cause of the South to know that any
amount of physical suffering should have
induced' an hitherto honorable man to
make such an infamous and degrading
confession even if it were true."
As a lawyer, does not the editor of the
Chronicle, know that the evidence of an
accomplice is never received unless cor
roborated by other proof, circumstantial
or positive ?
As a teacher and practitioner of moral
ity, does the editor of the Chronicle at
tempt to set up a new code of morals ?
Does lie hold it “moral” in a moral man.
or honorable in an honorable man to
conceal crime, to shield the guilty, or
refuse to further the epds of justice ? Does
the very honorable and moral editor of
the Chronicle hold that it is the duty of
an honorable man to cover up bloodshed
and to swear falsely to protect the mur
derer ? This code of ethics, we believe, is
not in accordance with the rules of
morality or honor, nor (in charity) do we
believe it to be in unison with notions of
(W)right.
Trades Unions. - One ofthe most serious
evils which the boss builders of New York
complain of, is that by the rules of the
Brick-layers Unions they are now com
pelled to pay men who are not worth two
dollars pgr day, as much a* ,U ’J’ best
men, t*> uiey pay five dollars. And
if they pay them any less, or in other words,
pay them what they are worth, the rules
of the Unions compel every man to aban
don work. All trades-unions arc subject
to this objection. Os course the poor work
man is benelitted so long as the demand
for labor is great enough to give all em
ployment ; but as soon as business gets
dull, he is the first thrown out, and is often
compelled to work under price*and become
an outcast among his fellows, in order to
save himself from starvation. Piece-work
should be resorted to by employers when
ever it is practicable ; and when it is neces
sary that the workmen should be employed
by the day or week, the Unions should
adopt some scale by which their members
may be rated for what they are worth.
This has been done in some instances in
Europe, if not in this country—each mem
her being allowed to rate himself as a first,
second or third class hand, and his standing
to remain good as long as he docs not
work under the price fixed to his own
rating. If at any time a member finds he
is underrated or overrated, he is allowed
to come before the Union and have his rate
changed. If we must have trades unions,
some such principle as this should he in
corporated with their rules,-in order to
guard against injustice, both to employer
and employee. *

Washington, June 27, 1868.
The prompt action in passing the Omnibus
bill over thu Prcoidenl's veto ought to satisfy
the most stupid of thu opponents of recon
struction that Congress is in earnest and
even Andrew Johnson, withall the unrepent
ant rebels and copperhead's nt his back, must
finally yield in all things to the policy marked
out by the loyal people of the country. In
less than four hours after the message was
received the Omnibus bill li Ol become a law.
Os course there is a wailing and gnashing of
teeth in the Democratic camp at such inde
cent haste, but it was the only way Congress
men couldlegilimat ily exp- ss their contempt
for the conduct of the individual who retained
the bill almost to the Inst hour of the ten
days allowed by law. This last is looked
upon as about the silliest net of the great
tergivuisator, In- n itbiug-could l.e gained
by del ty unless Congress could have been
sent across the Styx by some Guy Fawks;
but then Mr. Johnson, Micawber like, is
always waiting for something to turn up and
believes in his “destiny” as religiously as
ever did Napoleon.
The White House epidemic has attacked
Mr. Johnson seriously; he expects to go into
the Convention backed by all the Southern
delegates, and, to accomplish this, he has
been doing the amiable for several weeks
past. The murder of Union men at the
South does not arouse a sympathetic chord
in the bosom of this man; bat let any of
the unreconstructed get into difficulty, and
his high sense of justice is at once aroused
and an investigation ordered. The last case
to arouse his sympathies was the arrest of
“respectable citizens,” accused of murdering
Ashburn, in your State. The next move for
Southern votes in the Convention, it is inti
mated, will be a general amnesty proclama
tion, to be issued before the 4th of July.
This the President thinks, is his right bower,
and will sweep away all the tadpoles, Pen
dleton included. lam assured by a gentle
until who passed two hours at the White
House last evening, that Mr. Johnson will be
a disappointed man, if he is not nominated.
Ilis iriends are taking high ground and
threatening that not a drop of official pap
shall be placed in Democratic mouths, unless
he is nominated. A Committee of Pendle
ton men have been trying to buy him off
with complimentary resolutions. Johnson
can’t see it; “a bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush” is bis maxim. Collector
Smythe’s nomination for the Austrian mis
sion is part and parcel of the same scheme.
The Collector is not politician enough to suit
Mr. Johnson’s purposes. Next to the Presi
dency, the most powerful influence in election
is wielded by the New York Custom House.
A supple tool of the reigning Mogul, in that
position, could aid him very materially to
carry on the fight against Grant and Colfax.
'1 here is little probability of Smythe
being confirmed by the Senate—at all
events not until after the Corruption Com
mittee make a report, for it is broadly inti
mated that the testimony shows him to be
mixed up in raising money to oppose im
peachment. No one was more surprised
than himself at receiving the nomination ;
he had made no application for the place,
and is perfectly satisfied with the Collector
ship—with legitimately $7,500 per annum.
I obtain this fact from the official docu
ments. The proposed Cabinet changes all
originated in a desire of Mr. Johnson to go
before the people again. It is well known
that, only one member of the Cabinet (Ran
dall) has favored Johnson’s nomination.
If he should be nominated, a part of the
bargain will be to change the entire Cabi
net and put in time serving Democrats.
The New York Convention bids fair to be
a big thing. It is estimated that at least
one hundred thousand citizens'will seize
upon the op|>ortunity to visit New York at
half price; and wi ll bad whiskey and yorso
principles a lively time may be expected.
Chase stock is so low that there are no
takers; indeed the venerable Chief Justice
begins to see that he has been most eggre
giously sold by a set of political sharpers,
and that he has lowered his standard to no
purpose. The friends of Hendricks Jire
working very quietly but earnestly, and
some of them are confident- of success,
relying upon the hostility existing between
the friends of the rival aspirants to :;j widen
the breach that they can no* u iitc except
upon a new man like Mr. Hendricks.
The fashionables are rapidly evacuating
the Capital for the cooler retreats on the
mountains and sea shore, many of them
taking unto themselves partners for life.
Indeed there is quite a marrying mania,
which increases in intensity as the mercury
rises. The Ministers as nave
- ♦i.rfriug ousincssthe present month,
and if one half the rumors are true, July
will bring them in rich returns. No less
than three Senators and half a dozen
members of the House arc booked, Speaker
Colfax among the number. General Miles
and a niece of Senator Sherman are to be
married on the 30th inst ; Miss Nellie Chase
is to marry a Richmond gent of the legal
persuasion. So wc go.
Our municipal difficulties are gradually
being removed. Ex Mayor Wallach has
run the Mayoralty machine here so long
that ho imagined himself monarch of all
he surveyed, until yesterday, getting quite
indignant, he preferred charges against the
Superintendent of Police for not obeying
him. The Police Commissioners acquitted
the Superintendent and complimented him
for his conduct, and when Wallach found
out that be had no more power than any
other citizen he got mad and struck Mayor
Bowen a blow in the face, for which he
will answer to an indictment for assault
and battery before a Court and Jury. These
rebel sympathizers feel the power slipping
from their hands, and make fearful plunges
to save themselves from going down ; but
down they must go. *
The Baltimore authorities have been
doing a little plunging recently; they
decided not to employ colored teachers for
colored schools. The colored children are
to be elevated by the employment of white
teachers. If that is not rushing the social
relation business. I do not know what it is.
Since the nomination of Mr. Evarts, of the
President’s counsel in the impeachment
trial, to a foreign mission, his record has
been closely scrutinized, and he, as well as
Collector Smythe, will have to wait until
after the report of the Corruption Committee
before action is taken by the Senate. The
books of the Department show that Mr.
Evarts has received during the last seven
years $47,545.86 from the Government for
professional services—s43,79s of which h is
been paid him during the last three years.
The Finance. Committee wll report the
Revenue bill to the Senate on Tuesday next,
mid will be passed during the week. The
Senate will probably modify the Bank sec
tion so as to redme the tax on circulation,
which bears heavy on the country banks
which b sve few depositors. A racess is now
talked of about the middle of July.
Patrick Hughes, baker, employed at the
National Hotel, was instantly killed, this
morning, by falling from a window in the

TREACHERY.
Treachery, and the most disgraceful of
all treachery—treachery to friends. The
above thoughts, Mr. Editor, came into my
mind when 1 read the list, published by you,
of Georgians relieved of political disabilities
by a late act of Congress ; for I know, that
the names of many life long Unionists were
omitted, and some who never were such
were in the places belonging to the former.
There may have been good reasons for the
insertions of the latter, but none for the
omissions of the former. That it has been
designedly and fraudulently done is mani
fest; for Ujjion men in the original list
furnished Mr. Conley (the member of the
Committee from this Congressional District
to forward names), have not only been
ogiitted, and omitted by whole counties, but
a distinction made in the same counties by
including some not in, and excluding others
not in the original lists, and by omitting
long and faithful Unionists in the original
lists and omitting others having no such
claim. There was a design, and a corrupt
design, in all this, to which the proscribed
will not submit; and they arc too many,
and of too great merits, not to make coni'
plaint, and complaint shall be beard and
heeded.
Mr. Conley was appointed by the Consti
tutional Convention to receive and forward
the names to be relieved, and knowing his
unblemished honesty, I acquit him of the
treachery before hearing; but it is due to
his character not merely to clear it of suspi
cion, but to hunt up the traitor, or put it in
the power of others to do it.
Ist. What did he with names originally
given in ; and into whoso bauds did they go
before put into the hands of the drafter and
mover of the bill for relief; and who lias had
access to it since you made the list ?
2d. Was it not thought that there were too
many names in the original list, and was it
not returned, and Io whom, for revision ; who
revised it and by what authority ?
3d. State into whose hands besides your
own and the drafter of the bill the list went,
to the best of your knowledge and belief?
4tb. State all you know, or beliuve, th it
will show your own innocence and will place
the guilt where it properl/ belongs, be he
high or low in the party ?
The matter shall be stirred, stink as it may,
until the innocent is vindicated and the guilty
indicted—strike where it may.
Not only has faithful unionist been out
raged, but the State Government blocked-
For it cannot proceed without officers, and
qualified officers cannot be found in half the
counties in Georgia. They cannot be had
in my own nor any other county in my
knowledge. Junius.
