WEDNESDAY MORNING ........July 8, 18*8
For PRESIDENT
Os the United States:
ULYSSES S. GRANT.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
Schuyler Colfax,
OF INDIANA.
OLIVER TWIST.
General Frank P. Blair, of Missouri
one of the celebrated “ Blair Family”—is
out with a card and a bid for the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency or
Vice-Presidency. If he cannot secure the
first office, he will accept the second—and,
failing in that, will take anything which
may lie offered in the shape of an office.
He writes a letter, leaving himself in the
hands of his friends (the Missouri dele,
gates) and he leaves, with himself, a
political confession of faith. The con
fession is eminently Blairish and Demo
cratic.
He believes in a Napoleonic <»«/> de etat.
.. i i
He wants short work—Shaq) and quick
made of the Republican majority of tht
country. He (s exceeding desirous that a
man with a backbone like a crowbar
some such man, for instance, as General
Frank P. Blair—should be nominated
and elected; for, in his opinion: “there
is but one way to restore the Government
and the Constitution, and that is for the
President elect to declare the reconstruc
tion acts null and void.” The valiant
general docs not condescend to call them
laws, simply “ acts.”
He believes in Johnsonism with a little
more of the Napoleonic daring. He is
exceedingly desirous of the one man
power, providing that one man is himself.
Possibly he might be willing that his ,
father, or brother, should do the thing—
for if a Blair and not the Blair should be
elected to do this piece of valiant Quixotism,
it would be a salve of healing for the entire
Blair family. A proclamation, signed by
ex-Major General Frank P. Blair, Presi- :
dent elect, and backed by the democratic
party, before A. Johnson officially leaves
the White House, undoing the laws of the
nation and knocking reconstruction into a
cocked hat, would be a valiant opening of
a new administration.
But that is not Ml that the dashing
Frank P. proposes to do. He will “com- ,
pel the army to undo its usurpations at ,
the South”; which we suppose means
that the Generals in charge of the military
districts shall disperse the Southern Legis
latures, take the Senators and Representa
tives from their scats in Congress, ti et
armie, and upset those States generally.
Perhaps it would be necessary to get up
another New Orleans massacre of Union
men, or by military order from the valiant
•President elect’ reinforce the Ku Klux
Klans, and make their villainous aud
murderous acts legal and to be commended
by the entire administration and party.
He wants, also, “to disperse the carpet
bag State governments.” What a pity
that he did not use a definite adjective
and say “black carpet bag.” Some of his
present friends, who were desirous of
making a small bonfire of New York and
other cities, to light the chivalry on their
way to the 'last ditch,’ used black carpet
bags, and were so known and suspicioned
that nearly every loyal man, making a
short trip to those cities for business or
pleasure, had to leave his accustomed
travelling companion, the black travelling
bag, at home. But this is not the last
article of the Blair faith.
He is in favor of “allowing the tehite peo
ple to reorganize their own governments,
and elect Senators and Representatives.”
That last article of faith is the democratic
behemoth, which swallows all the lesser
points of doctrine. ‘White’ is the fashion
able color. All tinges of complexion under
the allabaster are to be civilly and-politi
cally ignored. The possessors of black,
dingy, or mixed cuticles are to 'have no
rights which white ,men are bound to re
spect.’ Has Ex-Major General Frank P.
Blair looked in the glass of late ? Is he
sure that his cardinal point of political
faith is not too sweeping and comprehen
sive, and that its enforcement will not leave
him to the tender mercies of the naughty
republicans, who believe in the rights of
man 1 *

'[Communicated.
’A’.l Die AL FRAUD AND TI'HANNY."
Under this heading, the Chronicle A-
Sentinel comments on the “injustice’’
of the decision given by Gov. Bullock in the
election of Speaker in the House- If the
writer of the article was acquainted with
Parliamentary rule, he surely would not have
made himself ridiculous. Bays Jefferson's
Manual:
“It is true the voice of the majority deei-ies,
for the lexmajoris partis is the law of all elec
tions, etc., where not otherwise expressly pro
vided. But when a question has been once made,
and carried in the affirmative, or negative, it
shall be in order for any member of the majority
to move for the reconsideration thereof. But no
motion for the reconsideration of any vote shall
be in order after a bill, resolution, message, re
port, amendment, or motion, upon which the
vote was taken, shall have gone out of the pos
session of the Senate announcing their decision.’’
So it was immaterial whether Mr. Price
withdrew his vote or not, after the vote was
taken and announced —it does not affect the
result in the least. Richmond.

—Few people can spell the following
sentence correctly, while writing it from
dictation: “It is an agreeable sight to
perceive the unparalleled embarrassment of
our harrassed pedler, attempting to guage
the symmetry of a peeled onion, which a
sibyl has stabbed with a poniard, regardless
of the inuendoes of the lillies ot a cornelian ’
hue-”
—A law was passed at the last session of
the New Jersey Legislature Which provides
that fathers and - husbands who desert,
neglect or refuse to provide for their families,
shall be adjudged “ disorderly persons,” and
dealt vyith according to law. The first case
under the new law, recently tried in Newark,
resulted in the conviction of a husband who
refused to support his wife. He was locked
tip as a “ disorderly person."
DEMOCRATIC PERPLEXITY.
To be a Democrat, now a-days, is to be
in a state of perplexity of mind like that
of the good old woman; who was so flus
tered that she declared she didn't know
whether she was a-foot or a horseback I
No Democrat can tell whether he will
have to follow a Democratic or a Republi
can leader. No one knows who to shout
for. It may be a Democrat who proposed
to let the Southern sisters have their own
way, and who opposed all measures of
public defence. And, again, it may be a
Republican of the Republicans. They
don’t know whether they are going into
the campaign under a Democratic leader,
or under him whom they regard as the
leader of Radical Republicanism.
And this perplexity of the Democracy
extends to all matters of party doctrine and
of Government policy. They know not
whether they arc going to alight on a Dem
ocratic or a Republican platform ; whether
they will fight Republican principles, or
enlist under them ; whether they will carry
on the campaign from their own base, or
circumvent and seize on the Republican
positions, and turn their guns against their
own ranks. They appear to be resigned to
either course, and to have resolved to shout
cither for Pendleton or Chase, as the
case may be; and either against the war of
national defence, and all the measures by
which it was carried on, and all that it has
accomplished; against abolition, recon,
struction, negro franchise; against the
binding obligations of the debt; against the
banks and against specie payment, or for
war, for abolition, reconstruction, negro
suffrage, the specie payment of the bonds,
and for the banks, according as their party
fiat shall determine.
The Democratic perplexity of mind is
not more remarkable than the Democratic
resignation. It is an illustration of the
greatness of the Democratic party, and o’
the privilege that it is to be a Democrat.
THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
[Corre-pondonoe National Republican.]
Atlanta, Ga., July 6, 18G8.
We have got through the second day’s
proceedings of the Georgia Legislature in
its new quarters. The halls, fitted up by
the city authorities of Atlanta, are all that
could be desired, with the very important
exception that they are too small to meet
the demands of the large city of Atlanta,
whose teeming population, and hourly influx
of visitors, demand an admittance into the
Legislative atmosphere. The lobby hardly
deserves the mime, so small is it; while the
gallery is by no -means capacious enough.
We do not make these remarks to disparage
the hasty preparations which have been
made, which certainly do credit to the enter
prise and energy of the Gate City, but
merely to state facts. The furniture of the
old Capitol has been transported hither, and
it is a great pity that the commodious rooms
for the accommodation of the clerical de
partment and the committees could not have
been transported also.
Speaker McWhorter sustains himself ad
mirably, and we doubt most capitally if his
superior for the position can be found in the
House. Most of the members are new men,
who have had no legislative experience, and
should not bo expected to know much of
parliamentary usage.
The election for Clerk came off to day,
and resulted in the choice of Mr. M. A. liar
den, Democrat, of Bartow, by a small major
ity, on the first ballot. This is not to be
considered a Democratic triumph, aud will
certainly not be so considered by those who
know how these things are managed. Com
binations rule the day, and such contests are
never considered tests of party strength. We
have not seen much of Mr. Harden’s per
formances in the position, but feel assured
that with the assistance of Mr. L. Carring
ton, his first assistant or reader at the desk,
who is a veteran in the office, that this part
of the business will be well attended to.
The election of Messenger for the House
came on also, and Uncle Jesse Oslin, of
State-wide celebrity, was elected on the first
ballot, although his opponents, in the way of
candidates, were immense—at least half a
score of patriotic gentlemen, all anxious to
serve their country, contested with him the
prize.
The House having tailed in two efforts to
elect a Door Keeper, adjourned till 12 m.,
to-morrow, leaving a full score on the
“anxious seat,” who fain would be the Door
Keeper.
The Senate, after selecting Messrs. Cam
eron and Thorn for Messenger mid Door
Keeper, adjourned to 10 o’clock n. m., to-
morrow.
The train is about to leave, and 1 must
close, hoping to give you something more
interesting to-morrow.
Baldwin.
—Ohio is to have a new coat ot arms.
The Legislature of the State has passed a
bill making the court of arms a shield in the
form of a circle, having in the foreground
on the right a sheaf of wheat ; on the left a
bundle of seventeen arrows; in the back
ground, and rising above the sheaf and
arrows, a mountain range, over which is a
rising sun.
—Divers engaged oh the wreck of the
steamer Morning Star, sunk in Lake Erie
by collision with the bark Cortlandt, have
recovered the bodies of three of the lost.
They have not been identified. The weather
is favorable, and it is confidently expected
that most of the bodies will be recovered.
—Gen. Howard defended the Freedmen’s
Bureau against charges which have been
brought against it, in an address in Detroit
on Sunday morning last. He said that it
had accomplished much and lasting good,
and that the expense of carrying it on had
been but $2,000,000, instead of $20,000,000,
as has been frequently said. Much ot the
money to carry on this work has been given
by benevolent associations at the North.
—During the last three years two citizens
of New York, Chauncey and Henry Rose,
have distributed among charitable associa
tions in an unostentatious manner the large
sum of $1,500,000, equivalent to over SI,OOO
a day during the whole period. Such a
remarkable instance of benevolent munifi
cence should not go unrecognized, and we
gladly add the name of Rose to the limited
but honorable list which already includes
Peter Cooper, George Peabody, James
Lenox, aud the late Matthew Vassar.

TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTION CON
CLUDED—THE DEFENCE BEGUN.
Sixth Day.
Pursuant to adjournment, the Court met
at McPherson Barracks Monday morning.
The record of Friday’s proceedings was
read and approved.
Maj. R. J. Moses, one of the counsel for
the defence, was in the Court, and introduced.
Wm, U. Girard, partner of Mr. Moses, and
assistant counsel for the defence, was also
introduced.
The Judge Advocate announced that, with
deep regret, he informed the Court that Gov.
Brown was absent, in consequence of the
illness of his youngest child.
The Court then took n reccss for ten min

Martin M. Beck sworn—Aged 45; mer
chant. Reside in Columbus, Ga. 1 am
acquainted with W. A. Dukes (identifies
him). He boarded with me in February,
and up to the 26th or 27th of March. He
left my house from the 26th to the 27th of
March with Jo. Abner, in a buggy, to go to
Meriwether county, to where he lived. 1 saw
him on the first day of May. I did not see
him from the 26th or 27ih of March to the
first day of May. Resettled up his board
when he left- Jo. Abner is a while man.
lie lives in the suburbs of Columbus.
examined by the court.
1 remember that it was on the 26th or 27th
of March that he left my house, by some
business that was transacted on those days.
I am sure that it was not later than the 27th
of March, 18G8, that Dukes left my home.
RE-DIRECT.
I am certain that it was on the Thursday
or Friday before the death of Ashburn that
he left my house.
CONTINUED BY THE COURT.
1 cannot say positive ; 1 am certain that
he left town when he left my house, and
did not return before May Ist, as I do not
know what a man docs after he is out of my
sight. I never saw him in the meantime,
and received a note from him a few days
afterward, and Mr. Abner told me be left
Dukes in Meriwether county.
The Judge Advocate objected to allowing
the statement of what Mr. Abner told wit
ness to go upon record. Iho Court retired
for consultation, and upon its return an
nounced that the objection was sustained,
and the statement was stricken from the
record.
HENRY WELCH SWORN.
My name is Henry Welch. I am 28 years
old. 1 was a carpenter by trade before 1
lost my arm. I am acquainted with Mr.
Dukes (identifies him). I reside in the
tow nos Columbus. I saw Mr. Dukes about
the 26th or 27th of March, with Mr. Jo.
Abner, about one mile from the Court House,
on Harris county road, traveling in a buggy.
I asked where they were going- Mr. Dukes
said they were going home. It was on
Thursday or Friday. lam certain it was
before the killing of Mr. Ashburn.
CROSS EXAMINATION.
1 am acquainted with Mr. M. M. Beck.
We talked this matter over a few days be
fore we left town. We did not talk it over
especially this morning. The words '‘26th
or 27th of Marchl’ were mentioned this
morning. But I don’t remember who by.
There were several persons talking, 1
was sitting by them and paid no attention
how the conversation came up. Mr.
Woodward, Mr. Norman, two Mr.
Dukes and Mr. Reese. The conversation
took place on the piazza of the building. I
believe I should have remembered it was the
26th or 27th of March, if 1 had not heaid it
mentioned. I remember it by some private
business with some gentlemen in Columbus,
lam satisfied it was on the 26th or 27th of
March ; I think, though, to the best of my
knowledge, it was on the 26th. 1 had busi
ness in town on both those days, and passed
by the place where I met Mr. Dukes both
days. It was on Thursday or Friday. ll' the
words “Thursday or Friday” were mentioned
in the conversation this morning I don’t
recollect it. 1 have known Mr. Dukes about
three years. I had no conversation with
him that morning, only to ask which way he
was going. 1 first remembered that 1 had
met him when 1 heard he was arrested. My
attention was not called to it. He was
arrested two or three months afterwards. 1
think I met him about six or seven o’clock
in the morning.
RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.
I met him on the Harris county road.
This road leads to Meriwether county. If
he had started tc Meriwether county he
would have took this road, There is no
other leading out to Meriwether county that
I know of.
MRS. DUKES (MOTHER OF DEFENDANT) SWORN.
, My name is Emily Dukes. I reside in
Meriwether county. 1 have lived there since
last Christmas, a year ago. I lived before
in Girard, in Alabama, just across the river
; from Columbus. Wm. Dukes is my son-
He resided iu the early part ol the year with
me, in Meriwether county, where I now live.
He went to Columbus with me, and stayed
about two weeks, and came back with me.
He was in Columbus and got home about
the 26th of March. He came in a buggy.
Mr. Abner came with him. I think it was
on Thursday or Friday. Mr. Abner only
stayed all night with us and went to his
brother s next day about Greenville. 1
i heard he went home on Sunday. William
■ stayed there until the last day of April, when
. me and him went back to town, and got
there the first day of May. lie slept in the
room where 1 did in Meriwether county. IL
was there on Monday and Monday night.

staved two weeks was' the first of May. 1
■ 1— - H H A II« .' • Io Mzl / —. ■ • ' F
went on business to Crawford Court; got
there on the first day of May—Friday before
t the Court. I live forty miles from Columbus.
» CROSS EXAMINATION.
1 first heard of the murder of G. W.
Ashburn on Wednesday, I think, after it was
done on Monday. 1 did not hear my sou
mentioned in connection with it until just a
• little while before they came after him—two
‘ weeks ago last Monday. He was arrested at
‘ the shop, at work, close to my house. When
he was arrested 1 remembered where he was
1 the evening before Ashburn was murdered.
' I knew the date Mr. Ashburn waq killed, and
1 remembered when he cum; home. No one
1 went with Mr. Abner next day. The night
he arrived home he slept in the same room
i he always does. Mr. Abner slept with him.
■ There is just one large room in the house.
A couple of daughters, a son and Lis wife,
and a son-in-law constitute the balance of
the family. They are all accustomed to
sleeping in the room—all homefolks. Mr.
Abner was an old acquaintance. The night
Mr. Ashburn was killed, my brother slept
with William, and the others I told you
awhile ago. My brother’s name is Arrington,
lie had come down on Sunday to see us. He
lived in Carroll county. lb? left th f'next
Thursday, after he came Sunday. He was
walking. My son did not leave there, alter
’ he came, before Ashburn’s murder, until he
went to Crawford Court. I know Mr. Welch
and Mr. Beck. I have bad no conversation
with either ot them. I was not present at
the conversaliou. I have beard no persons,
this morning, speak about the 26th or 27th
of March. 1 have not heard Mr. Beck or
i Mr. Welch say anything about it. 1 have
not heard any other witnesses say anything
about it. I might have talked the matter at
home. I remember the time he came home
very well—it was the last of The month—l
remember the day of the month. Mv son
was home in February, 1868, working in the
blacksmith shop. He was at home every
day and night.
He was homo the early days of March in
18G8.. I don’t recollect how long he had
been gone when he returned with Mr. Abuer.
I think he had been gone about a week—l
wouldn’t be positive. I can’t read. I have
no almanac in my house. I heard my son s
name connected with the murder of Ashburn
a few days before his arrest. I heard it from
Mr. Abner, who was up there again peddling
around. There was one horse hitched to the
buggy iu which they came up. A dark bay
horse, I think. They arrived there about an
hour by sun, T believe. It was raining
when they came ; it had not been raining all
day.
JOURDAN REESE SWORN.
I am a farmer and reside in Meriwether
county, near Sulphur Springs. I know Vim.
Dukes, have known him since he moved
from Columbus, to between four nod five
hundred yards from my house. AV in. Dukes
is a blacksmith, and sometimes works in
wood shop. I was with him on the 30lh day
ofMarch at his shop. His shop is a kind of
resort for the neighborhood. I left him there
between sunset and dark with several others.
It was Monday. I saw him next morning.
I went to his shop. Wm. Dukes was there
Tuesday morningwhen I went for my plows,
lie was there Wednesday also. As well as 1
recollect 1 heard of Mr. Ashburn’s murder
about Thursday or Friday afterward. One
of my neighbors went up to LaGrange and
heard it there. It is full forty miles from
Mr. Duke's house to Columbus.
CROSS EXAMINED.
I first heard the name of Mr. Dukes con
nected with the murder of Mr. Ashburn at
the time they arrested him —the day after
his arrest, I think, and I was very much as
» .. 1.1. .1 T Aoiho-a nnai ti vnlrr trlinl
tomshed. I don’t remember positively what
day he was arrested—l never charged my
memory with it. I have heard it stated
that Mr. Ashburn was murdered on Mon
day, 30th. I remember going to his shop
that day, because Mr. Dukes had gotten
homo on Friday or Saturday, and I think it
was Saturday morning that I saw him and
asked about the news in Columbus. I think
it was on the 26th —no, the 27th or 28th.
What makes me remember it so distinctly
was, it was just a few days before Mr. Ash
burn’s murder—l will say he was there from
Saturday morning before to some seven or
eight days after Ashburn was killed. That
is why 1 recollect he was there—l saw him
there. Noone has gone to me since li is arrest
to ask me about the time he returned from
Columbus. Several of the neighbors have
talked about being at the shop there on the
Monday evening Ashburn was killed. There
was a general talk about his arrest —all was
surprised at it. I didn’t know I was com
ing hero as a witness till they sent for
me. Since 1 arrived here I have had no
conversation with any one in reference to
the date of Ashburn’s murder. I know
nothing about the date of it only as I
understood it to have taken place on the 30th
ofMarch. We heard it three or four days
after. Ido not remember the day of the
month Dukes was arrested. I did charge
my memory with the date of Ashburn’s
murder. 1 was in the habit of going fre
quently to the shop where Williams worked.
1 went there in the month of February. I
don’t recollect when he left home to go to
Columbus. I don’t know how long he was
absent at any one .time in March. I
frequently had work done at that shop. I
didn't see the man that brought him up.
RE DIRECT.
I had no notice at all that my testimony
would be needed here until I was notified to
come up. A gentleman was sent from here
for me. I was in LaGrange last Tuesday.
Mr. Adams and Dr, Wimbush were there,
t hey both knew I lived in sight of Dukes,
aud they asked me about the transaction.
L. T. WOODWARD SWORN.
I live in Meriwether county. I know
William Dukes (pointing him out). I live
about a mile and a half from his father’s
house. I saw Mr. Dukes on the 27th, 28th,
30th and 31st of March this year. All
through April I was with him. I saw him
at his father’s house on the 30th. On the
31st I saw him very early in the morning at
his father’s, llis father lives forty miles
from Columbus. I first hoard of the murder
of Mr. Ashburn on the 2d day of April;
heard it Irom an old gentleman who lived
below there, and from a young man who was
in LaGrange on Tuesday.
CROSS EXAMINATION.
I never heard that William Dukes was
charged with taking part in the murder of
Ashburn until he was arrested. Ido not
know when he was arrested because I was
not in the settlement at the time. I think it
was on Thursday. I cannot tell the day of
the month. It interested me to know that
my neighbor was charged with so serious a
crime. Ido not remember when he was
arrested, because I was away at the time.
I was with him most of the month of April.
1 have my work done there. When I heard
of his arrest I remembered all the dates I
have given in the direct examination. When
I hear.! of his arrest 1 remembered that
Dukes was at home al the time of Ashburn’s
death. 1 charged my memory with the date
of Ashburn's death-I was reading it in a
paper. 1 remember that, though Ido not
remember the day Dukes was arrested.
Nothing occurred between the date of Ash
burn’s death and the arrest of Dukes to
Cause me to think of these dates. \\ e have
been talking about these dates since his
arrest. 1 talked with several parties (naming
them) us we came to Atlanta. I talked with
them the day we came up here—last Friday.
I do not know where Dukes was in the
month of February. I did not make arrange
ments for them to do any work until about
the first ofMarch. Ido not remember what
kind of a day it was when he returned from
Columbus.
