AUGUSTA., O-A.
TUESDAY MORNING July 7.
For PRESIDENT
Os the United States :
ULYSSES S. GRANT.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
Schuyler Colfax,
OF INDIANA.
WHO SHALL RULE I
We occupy a domain extending from
25° to'49° north latitude, and 75 t 0 125°
west longitude, comprising an aiea of
2,208,000, 00 acres and possessing agricul
tural and mineral resources almost unlimit
ed. Os course, to make this wealth availa
ble requires not only labor, but capital,
skill and inventive mechanical genius—aye,
all the aids and science of philosophy, as
sisted, protected, andjn a measure directed,
by good government which shall promote
education and encourage religious and
moral instruction. In this problem are in
volved the welfare and happiness of not
only the present generation, but of mil
lions unborn, who will live and move upon
this broad domain, and send up their hopes
and aspirations as we do now. Into-this
realm of plenty and future prosperity are
pouring the children of the cast and of the
west, and here they are to meet and mingle,
multiply, suffer and enjoy, for all time to
come. Our population is increasing at the
rate of about five percent, a year—doubling
every twenty years. At this rate, the
year 1890 will sec the population of the
United States number over 60,000,000 of
souls; 1970 a population of nearly 1,000,-
000,000 —one thousand million souls at the
expiration of one century from the present
time! In a great measure, we hold the
destinies of this vast concourse of human
beings, with their untold wealth, their arts
and sciences, their mechanical inventions,
and their moral and political well-being, in
our hands. Is there no idea of responsi
bility involved in the thought ? Does it
not bid the demons of selfishness—bigotry,
partisan feeling, and mammon-worship—
down to the bottomless pit, that we may
act in Hie spirit of truth, justice and hu
manity ? Does it not call for the broadest
statesmanship, the profotmdest philosophy,
and a universal spirit of charity and love
fbr mankind ? Let every Intelligent voter
ponder well the problem and the import
ance of its proper solution, and vote with
that party which has preserved the Repub
lic against a great rebellion; which has
abolished slavery, and now proclaims equal
rights for all men; and which has steadily
been the champion of progress and of the
highest civilization.
A Sensible Document.—The Arch
bishops of Baltimore, Cincinnati, New York
and-St Louis, have issuoda protest against
the attempts to raise a regiment in this
country for the Pope. While they express
a solicitude for the maintenance of the
temporal power, they assert the impracti
cability of raising troops as proposed, and
that the movement was set on foot without
the advice of any responsible party, while
the man who has been selected as lieutenant
colonel is not worthy of confidence, nor fit
to fill the post. These, the Archbishops
declare, are not only their own, but the
sentiments of their brethren of the Episco
pacy.
A Sad Confession. —The New York
World lias touched the Democratic bottom
line. All its glorification of “Democratic
principles” has finally subsided into a con
fession of faith which, for years, lias been
the shrine at Which all the Democrats have
worshipped. It save:
If we can carry the election, it makes little
difference on what platform, or with what candi
dates.
‘‘The eternal principles of the Demo
cracy” arc simply to “carry the election.”
Any platform, any candidate is acceptable’
provided the end can be gained. The
ancient maiden, whose prospects of a hus
band and settlement were more than
dubious, and who betook herself to the
woods and to prayer for the coveted bless
ing which should relieve her from single'
wretchedness, found her importunities an
swered from au owl, in the branchesabove»
with its “t’whoo! t’whoo!” “Anybody
Lord,” said the hope-inspired but credu
lous maiden. The Democracy, though not
muoli inclined to prayer, yet is anxiously
awaiting the “t’who,” and is not particular
as to the t’wliat. Poor, forlorn Democracy’
there is little prospect of its doing other
than finding the celebrated “last ditch." *
Governor Bullock.—We felt prouder
than ever o! our new Governor, on the
fourth, as we witnessed the grand composure
and quiet dignity with which he baffled the
herculean efforts of three or four opposition
members who were evidently !‘spoiling for a
fight.” The quarrelsome members of the
Georgia Legislature learned, to their entire
satisfaction, that the Provisional Governor
is not easily disconcerted. J
Death of Benjamin Buantly.—By a
private letter we learn the death of Mr.
Benjamin Bkantly, at Little Rock, Ark.,
on the 25th ultimo. The deceased resided
for many years in Penfield, Ga., where he
published the Christian, Inde-r and the
Temperance Banner. A few years since he
removed to Little Rock. On the 19th of
June he was taken suddenly ill; he suffered
a great deal until within half an hour of
his death; he then fell into a calm sleep.
Those who knew him need not the com
forting assurance that his death was tri
umphant in the Christian’s hope. s
The Grant and Colfax Club of Yonkers
-met to organize Friday evening. A beauti
ful banner was unfurled, displaying the
familiar faces of the Republican candidates
with designs emblematic of peace and war,
and the inscription, “I shall have no policy
of my own to enforce against the will of the
people,” and as the broad folds took the
breeze, they were greeted with three rousing
cheers.
THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
[Correspondence National Republican.]
Atlanta, July 4.
The ceremonies at the Capitol, to-day,
were of an impressive character. At twelve
o’clock, Governor Bullock entered the Senate
chamber, accompanied by General Meade,
Judge Erskine and Hon. J. R. Parrott.
Gov. Bullock arose and announced that
Mr. Taylor, journalizing clerk of the late
Convention, would read the acts and orders
under which the Legislature was now as
sembled. The act. was then read, followed
by the proclamation of Governor Bullock.
General Orders No. CB, Headquarters Third
Military District, came next, followed by
General Orders No. 90, announcing the
names ot persons elected to the Legisla
ture.
Forty Senators answered the roll call;
four were absent.
The Clerk read tire oath required of mem
bers by the State Constitution.
Senator Holcombe inquired whether, nt
this stage of the proceedings, those persons
whose scats were contested, and especially
those whose seats were contested on account
of ineligibility, would be allowed to qualify ?
The Governor replied that all those whose
names are embraced in General Orders No.
90 wonld bo allowed to qualify.
Judge Erskine, of the Supreme Court, an
nounced that at the request of his Excel
lency, the Governor elect, he would now
proceed to administer the oath to the Sena
tors. Four Senators at a time were called in
front of the rostrum, and took the following
oath :
You do swear that you will support the Con
stitution of the United States and of the State
of Georgia; that you have not practiced any
unlawful means, directly or indirectly, to pro
cure your election, and that you have not given,
or offered, or promised, or caused to bo given, or
offered, or promised to any person, any money,
treat, or thing of value, with intent to affect any
vote, or to prevent any person voting at the
election at which you were elected —so help you
God.
The Governor announced that, for lhe
purpose of effecting a speedy organization,
Senators would now go into an election for
President of the Senate, which was accord
ingly done, and resulted ns follows: Benja
min Conley 23, C. D. Wooten 15, C. R.
Moore 1, John Harris 1.
Mr. Conley, of Augusta, having received
a majority of all the votes cast, was there
fore announced by the Governor as duly
elected President ol the Senate.
An election for Secretary of the Senate
was then held, with the following result:
A, E. Marshall 25, L. N. Trammell 15.
Mr. Marshall of Atlanta, having received
a majority of the votes cast, was therefore
declared by the Governor as duly elected
Secretary of the Senate.
The Governor appointed Senators Harris,
Wooten, and Moore, a committee to escort
the President elect to the chair.
Mr. Conley, rtn assuming lhe Chair, ex
pressed his thanks for the honor conferred
upon him in a neat and appropriate address,
at lhe conclusion of-which he was applauded.
In pursuance of a previous announcement
by the Governor, that the House would
proceed to their hall on the other side of
the Capitol and organize in the same man
ner as the Senate had done, the President
informed members of the House of Repre
sentatives that an opportunity would now
bo allowed then to retire.
Senate then took a recess of half an hour,
during which the members proceeded to the
House of Representatives to witness the
organization of the Lower House.
At the end of the recess, the Senate was
called to order by the President, when Mr.
Nunnally made a motion to adjourn until
10 o’clock, Monday morning next. Carried.
• In the House, the programme of organiza.
tion was observed as in the Senate. One
hundred and fifty three Representatives were
present —twenty-two absent.
Governor Bullock requested members elect
to present themselves in front of the Speak
er’s desk in squads of ten, for the purpose
of taking the oath prescribed by the Consti
tution of. Georgia. The oath was adminis
tered by His Honor John Erskine, of the
United States District Court for Georgia, that
judicial officer being clothed in his robe of
office.
The Governor then directed an election
for officers to proceed. Capt. Dunlap Scott,
of Floyd, objected, and appealed to the
House. Gov. Bullock, said that there was
no appeal, except to lhe military. Captain
Scott Teplied, “I appeal, then, to the' mili
tary.” As the military did not interfere,
Governor Bullock ordered the election to
proceed, and Captain Scott subsided.
The election lor Speaker resulted as fol
lows : R. L. McWhorter, of Greene, 77
votes; W. P. Price, ol Lumpkin, 74 votes ;
Holden, 1 vote.
The Governor then announced Hou. R.
L. McWhorter as duly elected Speaker of
the House of Representatives, and appointed
a committee of two, McsSrs. Price and Hold
en, to conduct him to the chair.
Mr. Taliaferro, of Fulton, said: “Mr.
Chairman, when Mr. Price voted for Mr.
McWhorter, it was done with the impression
that McWhorter would vote for Price, and
Mr. Price claims to change his vote.”
The Governor said that he had no objec
tions to one vote being added to Price —
which was done.
The Governor then said that he had
already declared McWhorter elected, and
and any motion in future must be made to
him. Mr. McWhorter assumed the chair and
briefly addressed the House, referring to
the reconstruction measures, and the pleas
ure he felt in seeing his native Slate again
restored to her place in the Union. It
should be his purpose to discharge faithfully
the duties pertaining to his office.
The House then adjourned till 9 o'clock
Monday morning.
- <>.
Vallandigham's organ, the Dayton Ledger,
alluding to the Democratic Convention,
says: “If the ‘New York Races’ arc not
exciting, it will not be for , want of ‘entries,’
nor of foreign horses. Truly it seems as if
the demoralization of the Democratic party,
which set in last fall, just after the elections,
and the cry, for a particular purpose, of
‘policy’ you must be careful to get Republi
can votes, and not drive them off’by nomi
nating ‘fljus men,’ seems now to be spread
ing far aud wide. It is melancholy enough,
but no man has any right to complain of
the conflagration who helped to kindle the
fire.”

THE EMPIRE STATE INSURANCE
COMPANY.
In the Constitutionalist, of the 3d inst.,
the assets of tliis Company arc published as
follows—viz:
Greenville and Columbia R. R. 80nd5...562,765 00
South Carolina R. R. Bonds 10,500.00
Other Railroal Bonds 42,590.00
Georgia State Bonds 6,000.00
Other State -Bonds 50,050.00
City Stocks and Douds 2,900.00
Cash 2,814.25
Bills Receivable 146,086.95
Other assets 1,576.00
$.325,282,25
It would be more satisfactory if the Presi
dent, Mr. McCay, would let the public know
the items of “other railroad bonds”—
$42,590.00 ; also, “ other State bonds”—
$50,050.00; and “bills receivable”—sl46-
086.95. Are the “ bills receivable” unpaid
notes of subscription to the stock, and are
the “other railroad bonds”—s42,s9o.oo —and
the “other State bonds”—sso,oso.oo —of
any market value ? These items amount to
$238,720.95-100—more than two-thirds of
the assets of. the Company.
Another large item in this published
statement is $62,765.00 Greenville and
Columbia Railroad bonds, which were sold
a few months since at 25c.; but more
recently have sold at 40e. Are the “ other
railroad bonds and State bonds,” of which
the public has no knowledge, good assets.
If they are, let them be published, the same
as the other items in their statement—
“ Georgia State bonds,” South Carolina
Railroad bonds”—and the public can judge
of their value. Citizen.
July 6, 1868.
The Dour Case.—The following extract
from the opinion of the Supreme Court, as
delivered by Chief Justice Taney, in the
Dorr case, may be useful information to those
who are looking for the intervention of the
Supreme Court to set aside the reconstructed
State Governments:
“Under this article of the Constitution, it
rests with Congress to decide what govern
ment is the established one in a State. For
as the United States guarantee to each State
a republican government, Congress must
necessarily decide what government is estab
lished in the State, before it can determine
whether it is established or not. And when
the Senators and Representatives of a State
are admitted to the councils ot the Union,
the authority of the government under which
they are appointed, as well as its republican
character, is recognized by the proper- con
stitutional authority. And its decision is
binding upon every other department of the
Government, and could not be questioned in
a judicial tribunal.”
How to Manage Kerosene Lamps.—ls
the brass work, cone, etc., is heated unusu
ally hot, it will cause gas to generate in the
lamps, which, as it produces pressure, will
force itself up through and around the *wrck
and ignite, causing the lamp to sputter, and
snap itself oyt. Now if when it is “sputter
ing” the brass work is cooled off, for instance,
by wrapping a wet cloth around it, the lamp
will cease sputtering and snapping and barn
as it should.
An examination, while operating as above
will generally reveal charred and saturated
wick burning around the base of the wick
tube, or the flame of the lamp may impinge
on the cone, owing to its being slightly
turned or the wick having a ragged corner,
causing the brass to heat and generate gas.
Low proof oil, forming gas at a low tempera
ture, is consequently more unsafe to use.
If the wick fits the-tube properly, blowing
down the chimney is the best way to extin
guish it, for the following reasons :
It is perfectly safe, the wick need not be
trimmed for several days, thus obviating the
necessity of regulating it every time it is
lighted. A slight puff or a gentle flirt of
the fingers across the top of the chimney, in
an upward, slanting direction, is ail that is
necessary. A tremendous and badly aimed
blast is generally used, where a mere puff
would suffice if properly directed. If the
wick fits the tube, it is impossible to drive
the flame down into the lamp by blowing
into the chimney.— Scientific American.
POLITICAL.
The Nashville Gazette says : “ Under the
circumstances, we feel free to say that we
would prefer Grant to Chase. And when
we assert that there are over 200,000 Demo
crats in the country of our notion about the
matter, we defy contradiction.”
Hon. A; J. Bingham is likely to be
re-nominated for Congress 'or his seventh
term without opposition.
It is reported that “ Sunset” Cox will be
the Democratic candidate for Congress in
the sixth district of New York, to succeed
Thomas E. Stewart, aud that John Morrissey,
the bruiser, will be renominated from the
filth.
Senator Fowler was at one time Andrew
Johnson’s private secretary. In 1866 he
traveled ijOff miles to visit Gen. Butler, to
urge him not to cease in his efforts to procure
Johnson's impeachment.
The Washington correspondent of a
Charleston paper says : “ The friends of
Johnson here claim that he will certainly
receive the largest vote on the first ballot at
the Democratic National Convention."
A large and enthusiastic Grant and Colfax
meeting was held in Hudson on Wednesday
evening. After au eloquent speech from
Judge Culver, resolutions cordially endorsing
the National Republican ticket were passed.
R. O. Sidney, of Mississippi, and C. G.
Baylor, of Georgia, us Chairman stud Secre
tary of “the Southern Impartial Suffrage
Club," have issued a circular from the Astor
House, urging the claims of the negro to an
equal right with the white man to vote.
T. W. Osborn, formerly of Watertown,
N. Y„ has been elected U. Sr Senator, for
Florida. He made a good record during
the war, is a gentleman of education and
ability, and it radical Republican.
The Charleston Mercury threatens that
South Carolina will bolt the Democratic
nominations, and let the party “go to the
devil together,” unless the approaching
National Convention shall insert into its
platform a declaration against universal
suffrage.
The Republicans of Bangor, Me., opened
the campaign, by a'great open air meeting,
at which two large and elegant flags, for
Grant and Colfax, were raised in the public
square. The Republican headquarters was
also dedicated, and another flag was put
out. Addresses were delivered by Gen. H.
M. Plaister, the Hon. Hannibal Hamlin and
ethers.
A fire eating candidate, for office, down
South, was asked his opinion on negro suf
frage. “Oh, d n the niggers. They
should not be allowed to vote at all.” “Yes,
Colonel, but about five hundred of them in
your district want to vote the Democratic
ticket.” “Oh, ah I Yes—yes—very well.
That makes all the difference in the world.”
