OF INDIANA.
SPEAK OUT!
The people want the State restored, and if
certain political aspirants delay the notion uiuc
longer, wo shall consider it incumbent upon us
to disclose the rcnl cause of delay, the pressure
for admission is daily gaining ground, and 11 as
pirants for certain high positions do not volun

they will be forced hack, it may be, to their
eternal detriment. — Atlanta /;<•«.
Let it not bo sai l that tho fortunes of any
ma n, or set of men, are imperilled by the early
admission of those measures by the Legislature.
The public good requires that immediate action
shall be had. 'I hen onward, onward, friends of tho
Union, and friends of order and of peace—stand
united for the rights of the people, regardless of
all selfish politicians, whether they be purifyors
of the Republican party, or contemptuous exclu
sion tsts with Democratic affinities. — Atlanta Era.
Paragrams similar to the above extracts
have been appearing in the AW Era, oi
Atlanta, for several days past. We dislike
hints, insinuations, inuendoes, and the like.
Why does not the Era speak right out,
boldly? If that journal knows of any ‘sei
fish politician’ or ‘political aspirant - who
is hindering the Republican work, we call
upon it to put his name in print. And, if
it can, the Era owes it as a duty to expose
any tricksand the authors thereof. Else, it
should subside.
GEN. BLAIR'S LETTER.
As we have commented with some
severity upon the recent letter of General
Blair, it is but fair that we should let our
readers understand what view is taken ot
the subject by the organs of the Democratic
party. For this purpose we quotq the
following passage from a remarkable
editorial in the New York World of last
Monday:
The Democratic party bus doubtless made
itself responsible, to some extent, for tho recent
utterances of its candidates. It is responsible
for those of Governor Seymour aS w< ll ns for
those of General Blair. Governor Seymour, in
his Cooper Institute speech, made the financial
question the grand pivot of his policy, and put
forth views which must command the approval
of all honest and enlightened men. Gon. Blair,
in his letter, makes the overthrow of negro
’•econstruciion tho all-important thing, and
belittles the t nancial question. With candidates
thus publicly differing, what did the Democratic
Convention decide I By nominating Governor
Seymour for the position of real authority, it
gave its practical endorsement to his views; by
nominating General Blair for an office without
any power, it ajffirmcd indeed its detestation o!
negro governments, bill reserved the guestion how
they are tod>e dealt with for future, decision. Had
the candidates changed places, the Convention
would doubtless have made a mistake. Tho next
Democratic President cun make no civil nor
military appointments without the consent of
the Republican Senate; and while Mr. Blair
would have been unable to get his nominations
confirmed, Mr. Seymour will probably find no
difficulty. If Mr. Seymour should die in office,
the Senate would compel Mr. Blair to keep all
his predecessor’s civil appointees, including the
Cabinet, and would allow him to give no new
officers to the army.
This is a curious way ’of talking about
candidates whom it is expected to elect •
ami the whole tenor of the World's
language seems to amount to a confession
that the success of Grant and Colfax is a
foregone conclusion.
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION
We have heard from all parts, of the
land, and can now state definitely as to
how the nomination is received. Tho news
that comes<o us from the South land is
what wc might expect from this quarter.
The ex-Confcdcratcs and rebels feel as
though they had succeeded; and they have,
so fur as the Democratic party is concerned,
for they have captured it. They now throw
off the thin disguises and the caution with
which they had heretofore environed them
selves, and speak right out boldly, and
tell the country what they mean, and what
they expect to do, when Seymour and
Blair sue elected.
There was a ratification meeting in Rich
inoud on Saturday evening, and three
thousand people were present. .Thecrowd
was addressed by several of the returning
delegates.
Governor Vance, of North Carolina,
whom everybody knows was one of the
prime movers of the rebellion, made a
savage and vindictive speech. His soul
appears to be filled with hate to the Gov
ernment He said that he could talk more
familiarly of the South there in Richmond
than in the North; and he gave it as his
’opinion, that “what the South fought for
would be won by tbe election of Seymour
and Blair.”
That intensely irrepressible gentleman,
Henry A. Wise, was one of the speakers.
He commenced by telling his audience that
he did not care for the platform. He said
that the first resolution was a lie. “That
resolution says that secession is dead ; that
was not SO. Secession tea* more active than
ever. He supported the nominees, and
especially Blair, because he had declared
that he would assume military power.”
Marmaduke Johnson, who was a rebel
General in Lee’s army, then made a speech,
in a similar strain.
The tone and sent iment of this Richmond
meeting clearly ’demonstrates that the un
repentant rebels now feel that they have
the Democratic party at their back, and
that with such barkers as Seymour ami
Blair, the “lost cause" is not entirely
hopeless. The mistake on their part is,
they exult too soon.
Turning our attention to the North and
Northwest, we find the Pendleton men
very generally pleased. Their satisfaction,
however, does not appear to rest upon
any particular prospect that success awaits
the New York nomination, but grows
chiefly out of the fact that they have com
pelled the party to take their chief’s plat
form; lienee such journals as the Chicago
Times, Columbus Stateunuen, Cincinnati
Etujtiirer, and other kindred sheets, are
jubilant over lioth the platform and the
cnndi< J ?.tcs. This Eastern nomination
leaves an open field for George in 1872.
There is quite a large class of men who
do not feel satisfied with cither the plat-
form or the candidates. These are the
friends of Hendricks, Hancock, Andrew
Johnson, and Chase, and some of them are
talking of ahother convention and a new
party. On the whole, the muddle in the
Democratic party is about as the Republi
cans would have it, and if that party will
work with a will from now till November
a glorious victory awaits them.
THE IN HARM ONIO US DEMO CRA CY.
The democratic stampede from the repu
diation platform, and the Blair manifesto
that it will be the duty of Mr. Seamour,
in case he is elected, to declare the laws of
the land null and void and break up by
force the government of ten or twelve
States, is something remarkable. As a
general rule in the past, the party had but
to nominate whoever the leaders desired,
and the masses fell in with the arrange
ment, kindling their enthusiasm as the
canvass progressed. The two great defeats
experienced by the-party have wrought
individual independence of judgment to an
astonishing extent, and the result of it is
that nearly every intelligent democrat has
sat in judgment upon both the platform
and the nominees, pronounced the defeat
of the party a foregone conclusion, and, as
a consequence, they “won't train.”
The intelligent sentiment of the party,
outside of the Albany Regency and the
lesser wire-pullers, who were made cat’s
paws of, was tint Chief Justice Chase was
the only man who had the first show to
defeat General Grant. They were in favor
of blotting out the old regime, reconstruct
ing the party upon a broad and liberal
basis, making it thoroughly loyal, dismiss
ing Vallandigham <fc Co., and going to
the people with some show of success.
Their plans and hopeshave been’frustrated,
if not annihilated, and the more indcjiend
ent among them arc not chary of their
speech in condemnation of the trickery and
deceit-of the leaders. The democracy will
not “train,"’ and from all sections we learn
that the wet blanket has fallen and the
democracy have again gone down by a too
heavy dose of “the lost cause” both in
their platform and • nominees.
•♦♦♦
The Democrats in Favor of Projec
tion. —The world evidently moves, or the
old anti protective tariff party would not
now insert a clause in their platform in
favor of “a tariff of revenue upon foreign
imports and such equal taxation under the
revenue laws as will afford incidental
prosecution to manufactures,” and “best
promote and encourage the industrial
interests of the country.” In 1860, the
Democratic party affirmed “that Demo
cratic principles are unchangeable in their
nature when applied to the subject mat*
ter.” It therefore adopted, with unim
portant additions, the platform of 1856,
thus deliberately declaring again, after
four years of reflection, ‘flfhat justice and
sound policy forbid the Federal Govern
ment to foster one branch of industry to
the detriment of another.” TJie free trade
organs are bitterly berating the democrats
for deserting their ancient principles of
non-progression and immutability. We
have all read of the ass in the lion’s skin
They are stealing the livery of the repub
lican party to serve their selfish purposes
in.
(From Our Own Correspondent
OUR ATLANTA LETTER.
Atlvnta, Ga., July 16, 1868.
Mr. Editor: The House met this morning
(no meeting of the Senate), when Mr.
O’Neal, Chairman of the Investigating Com.
mittee, reported that the Committed was
progressing satisfactorily with its business)
and hoped to be ready to report to morrow.
He said he had good reason to believe that
the report would be unanimocs, and that it
could bo acted upon nt once by the House.
Np new developments as to those who will
be reported ineligible have, come to light.
One member—a Democrat—told me to day
that he thought he would give up and go
home. In the event, of his doing so, his
place will be filled by Mr. Brewster, a
Democrat. So the Republican party will
gain nothing by this operation.
1 think the Republican parly can safely
allow the House to go undisturbed, and yet
have a clear majority on joiM ballot of eight
or ten. On the Fourteenth Article, you
ueed not expect a party test. I know of
three or fouFUemocrnts who will vote for it-
That there should be any defection ou the
part of the Republicmil is hardly reasonable
to suppose. I had a conversation tliis morn
ing with one as tho oqlored Republicans,
who said several of his colored brother
Republicans were apt to and would vote
against the Amendment—Fourteenth Arti
cle ; said he had sotco doubts himself as to
his own position ; but 1 am inclined to think
he will “go it.” Certain it is, the Four
teenth stands in no danger of being de
feated.
Many members expected it to be brought
up and the vote taken to-day, but they were .
disappointed. It can hardly remain un
noticed another day.
Senatorial aspirants yet continue to bescige
members, and each, of course, thinks no
one but himself is the proper man, yet, to
fill the bill, he is willing that some otre of
his particular friends shall have a place in
the Senatorial picture.
I have missed from the hall and the
streets, for several days, the Hon. Foster
Blodgett. Messrs. Hill, Brown, Andrews,
Hopkifis, Seward, et al, are still on the
ground. No fears need bo entertained but
that Georgia will be able to find two who
will bo glad to represent her in the United
States Senate.
Tbe hot, dry weather continues, and local
news, sensational rumors, and the thousand
and one little accidents and incidents, which
might be supposed to be happening daily
and hourly in a large city like Atlanta, tail,
if they do happen, to come to your corres
pondent’s ears.
Messrs. Seward, Brown and Hill, spoke
last night, ail trm infiirmcd, for being out
of the citv 1 did not have the pleasure of
hearing them. Sorry I did not hear the
Bard of the New Era, who closed the exer
cises, much to the gratification of tbe crowd,
who retired amid cheers, “gratefully gratified
to a gratification. - ’ Baldwin.

TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENCE , CONTINUED.
••
Fifteenth Day-
Pursuant to adjournment, the Court met
at 10 o'clock, Thursday morning.
The record of the proceedings of Wednes
day was read and approved.
F. G. WILKINS* TESTIMONY CONTINUED.
Parties that I named had under’ me as
Mayor, are those on arraignment-here. I
know all the parties on arraignment. Twa—
Duke and Hudson—l do not know so well.
They are all gentlemen of good character.
I know something of Chipley’s habits. I
am accustomed to being out at all times of
night, and have no recollection of having
seen him out after tea more than two or
three times in my life. He is a merchant —
lias a family, consisting of wife, and, I
think, one child. Mr. Bedtfil is a clerk in
an insurance office. He is in the habit of
being near his place of business and sleep
ing apartments at night. (Jn one or two
occasions I have met him in returning home
from visiting tho young ladies. There are
several in Columbus about the size and
make of Mr. Chipley, though 1 can not name
them. I know Tom Blanchard, Bony Mc-
Neal, Turn McNeal, Lawrence Burrus,
and Jack Burrus. The size of all these
compare well with the size and shape
ol Mr. Chipley. 1 know Mr. Bennett
(Alexander Gordon Bennett). From his
general character I would not believe. 4
him on oath. I know Wade Stephens
and George • Betts, and from their general
character lor truth and veracity, would
not believe them on oath. I know
Charles Marshall, the witness for the
State. I know that a watch and chain were
presented to him, and the circumstances
under which they were presented. The
presentation was in the latter part of tjw
last week in April, just after the election.
The money was made up by a few young
men in the city, in consequence of his having
beeu reduced for his action during the
election. The first suggestion was to give
him a handsome suit of clothes. The
determination was changed, however, and
about $350 were raised. Capt. McSpadden,
of the Internal Revenue, contributed $25,
and Capt. Harris, of the same department,
SSO. I know something of money that he
got. I let him have one hundred dollars,
lie tqld ine-he had applied for a furlough,
and wanted to goto New York. I told him
if he would wait until alter the election 1
would let him have it. He told me that
Capt. Harris and Capt. Mills would go on
his note. He remained till after the election,
and then came and told me he was going to
leave. I got twenty-five dollars from the
Democratic club, a friend of mine made up
thirty dollars, and I paid forty-five myself.
He was active during the election —co-oper-
ating with the Democratic party.
CROSS EXAMINATION.
I think Marshall came to Columbus in
April or May, 1867, and I got acquainted
with him two or three months after. He
commenced coOperating with tho Democratic
party two or three weeks before the election.
I can not say he took any stand in politics
further than operating for us during the
election. I learned that he was a Democrat
soon after I got acquainted with him. I
learned through my police officers that Mar
shall was a strong Democrat. His position as
a Democrat was well known some months
before the election —at least, I looked upon
him as such. I don’t recollect eves having
seen him in company with the citizens. I
frequently met him and spoke with him. I
never talked with him on politics till about
the election, when he came to borrow the
money. Mr. twenty five
dollars of the money, Mr. Graves five, the
Democratic Club twenty-five, and I forty-five.
I don’t know who contributed the money
raised by Mr. Coleman. I took no note. It
has not been paid back, but I should be very
glad if it had. He applied for two hundred.
If none had been raised, I would have given
the hundred myself. I know only two who
contributed to the purchase of the watch ;
they were Capt. McSpadden and Captain
Harris, of the Internal Revenue Department.
Mr. Graves raised the contributions. I do
not know how much Mr. Saulsbury con
tributed. 1 did not hear any of the prisoners
mentioned among those who contributed.
The watch was worth S3OO or $350. The
watch and money together were worth S4OO
to SSOO. I do not know of any other persons
who received this much money for his
services during the election. [The direct
testimony of the witness in reference to the
character of the prisoners was here read.]
I would not believe Bennett upon his oath,
from the simple fact that I believe he has
sworn to a lie in one instance particularly.
If I had been put upon the witness stand
prior to the death of Ashburn, I can not tell
whether I would have sworn that, for I
would not have known him. My knowledge
of his general character was acquired since
the death of Ashburn. When I refer to a
false oath he has made, I refer to an oath he
bus made in reference to the death of
Ashburn. I have known George Betts ever
since he was a child. If I had been sworn
in regard to his general character prior to
the death of Ashburn, I would have sworn
tha', I would not believe him on oath. He
has not been considered of good standing in
Columbus. Ido not know that the newspa
papers so rated him about the death of
Ashburn. Owing to my friendship for his
father, 1 tried to make something of the boy,
and put him on my police. He was so very
unreliable he would frequently lie to me
when reported for dereliction of duty. None
of the police like to walk with him, as they
do not like to report each other. He was
finally discharged about a year before the
death of Ashburn. 1 have known witness
Stephens nbonfr- two years. I would not
have believed him on oath prior to the death
of Ashburn, because of his associations, and
the manner in which he and the family live,
his associations with negroes and even his
white associations. There is nothing partic
ular Outside of his associations which
shows that his word could not be relied upon
What I say does not relate to iny knowledge
of his previous falsehood. Instructions
were given tho officers to be vigilant and
use every effort to discover the murderer.
They reported no discoveries. No arrests
were made by the civil authorities. It Mr.
Bedell was arrested the day after the mur
der, 1 never heard of it. The first arrests
were when the young men were arrested
and confined in the Court House. I could
nut say when. I have no opinion about
when it was. Ido not know if it was pre
vions to the election or not. I think it must
have been previous to the election, from the
fact that Marshall was still sergeant of the
company. Roper, Kirkscey, Barber, Bedell.
Ckipley, Stephens, Ennis, Wm. Bedell,
Grimes, Stapler and John Wells were
arrested and confined in tho Court House.
I understood that these arrests were made
by the rriilitary authorities. 1 heard of
none made by the civil authorities. I do
iiotjknow how long they were under arrest
in the Court House. They were all dis
charged.
The testimony of Col. Wilkins was here
read over to him, and a few corrections were
made in reference to the number of the
police.
In answer to a question by the Court —
As Mayor of Columbus, - I did not receive
any intimation as to who might have been
imnlica'ted in the murder of Ashburn.
Witness was then finally discbargid.
THOMAS C. MILLER, SWORN.
I am a former, mid am also in the ware
bouse business in LaGrange. (Books
were exhibited which witness stated were
books kept in his wareltouse.) 1 know ilr.
Stith Parham, of Meriwether county, very
well. He delivered cotton to our firm.
The cotton was bought by Mr. Burke, who
was sent out by Mr; Frost. The cotton was
hauled by Mr. Williams. I know Mr.
Williams when I see him. I think ho is
a son-in-law of Judge Tucker. [Witness
here showed the Judge Advocate an entry in
his books of the cotton delivered at his
warehouse on the 20th of April.) The entry
is correct. (The cash book kept by- Mr.
Frost Whs next exhibited,
of the money paid out the same daj.) ,>'hc
Handwriting is Mr. Frost’s. I know that to
be the cash book of Mr. Frost. The entry
is Mr. Blue Frost’s handwriting. He is the
regular cash clerk. (The Judge Advocate
here stated that, to avoid further trouble, he
would admit that if Mr. Frost was here, ho
would swear that it was a correct copy.) To
the best of my knowledge, the cotton entered
in the receipt book and the entry in the cash
book aro so» the same lot of cotton.
The testimony of the witness was here read
over to him, after which he was discharged.
The Court then adjourned until 10 o’clock
on Friday.
