TUESDAY MORNING July 21. 1««> For PRESIDENT Os the United States: ULYSSES S. (wRIVr. FOB. VICE PRESIDENT: Schuyler Colfax, Of’ INDIANA. HARMONY. We have never objected to any man because of his birth-place. We have advocated Republicans from-the North and from the South, from the Last and from the West, regardless of the localities from which they may have come—and we advocate the claims of Union men in Georgia, who stood up bravely for the • Union of their fathers, many of them having suffered the loss of all things for the sake of their country. If these noble patriots are to be utterly ignored, we now place on record the prediction that the Republican party Is doomed, and the whole State will fall, at no distant day, into the hands and under the complete control of the Opposition. The Republicans who come from other sections of the country to Georgia, must harmonize, and cooperate with loyal Geor gians atid loyal Southern men. If they do not, their sojourn in office may be of short duration. If, therefore, Republicans who come into Georgia, and the white Republicans and the colored people of Georgia all stand united and act in har mony, and if equal justice is shown to all, then may the Republican party hope and confidently expect a glorious, successful, and lasting triumph. Without this, all our labors and efforts wilteome to nought. We make this suggestion with the kind est feelings toward every Republican in the State, hoping all true Republicans will give the subject their serious and unprejudiced reflection —that all will be induced to act kindly and justly to each other. * A SUPPOSITION. Wc have had three notable cxainpleH of the elevation of a Vice President to the seat of chief Executive of this nation, and none of them, in their administrations have been very gratifying to the party which elected them or to the country as a whole. We are enduring to-day the folly wilfulness and incompetency of the last of the three. Now let us suppose that the Seymour and Blair ticket could be elected, and that after the inauguration Air. Seymour should die and Frank I’. Blair should assume the Presidency with the com mand of the military and naval forces of the nation. Does his letter, an nouncing in advance his opinions of the duty of the President elect-—to disband the present government of all the late rebel States and remand them into chaos, to apply military force to drive the officials elected by tlie people from their stations, and the assumption of such imperial powers by himself as would cost even Louis Napoleon his head--does this litfle pro gramme for the renewal of the war, on an immense scale, suit tlie i<lca» of the North ern Democracy 1 t Itsuits Vance, Henry A. Wise, ‘Ad miral’ Semmes, Forrest, aiul .other in grained rebels —but will loyal men any where exert their influence or cast their votes to make such an event possible'( We doubt it. * < - As Might- Have Been Expected.— The “sweat-box” story, put in circulation by the Macon Telegraph, and eagerly copied by other Disunion prints, turns out to be a hoax. The editor, when called upon for bis authority, gave the name of Mr. Wm. B. Johnston, of Macon, who publishes the following: Macon, July 17, 1868. Editors Macon Tbi.kghaih : 1 have been called upon this morning by Lieut. James Ellis, as authority for the statements of an editorial article in your paper upon tbo subject of tor ture inflicted upon witnesses iu tlie Ashburn trill, bold in confinement at Fort Pulaski. Your article is bused substantially upon the statements 1 made in general Conversation in your hearing. I heard General Meade make, as I I thought, soaa fide statements in substance as | you represented. They were made in a private house iu Atlanta, in the presence of a lady and her little daughter, to the latter of whom the conversation was chiefly addressed. General Meade denies making such statements us actual facts, and as I have no intention to call his veracity in question, 1 am forced to conclude that what I took for serious statements of facts was mere bandinage, playfully addressed to the little child with whom ho was sporting at the time, and that I was thus misled in the premises. In your article you said the torture had been applied to Marshall, Betts, and a negro. .No names were mentioned by Gon. Meade, nor did I so state. The conversation in your hearing was not intended for the public prints, and I had no idea it would be published. Very respectfully, Wm. B. Johnston. —— - - ■ ■ 1-1 - “ 1— The Record of Disgrace. —One of the most disgraceful records in history must be that of the democratic party. Organized on the principle of State sovereignty and secession, it was split in pieces by the tyranny and anarchy ia its own ranks. It encouraged the South to secede from the Union, in accordance with the ancient principles of the party, and promised it aid and support But after the crime had been committed, the party refused to make itself openly and violently accessory, and confined itself to fault finding and hindrance in legislating for the suppression of the rebel lion. When the contest for Union was won, it claimed that democratic arms achieved the victory ; ond it now sets itself up as the only embodiment of pure patriotism in the country. Can a party with such a shameful record, which betrayed its own partisan friends iu an extremity into which it had plunged them, be trusted with the future destinies of this country 1 Can the. South any more safely repose faith ia it now than it did before the war ? Will it not betray it again T Let the people of the South, as well as the people of the North, ponder well these questions. A party that is not true to itself can not be true to others, and no people is safe with its government in the hands of such a party. * A YEOMAN’S VOICE. Waysebuoro, July 18, 1868. Messrs. Editors: Wo fanners have been patiently waiting and w-atching the situation at Atlanta since the organization of the Legislature. Wo have a right to and do expect a great deal from the Assembly. After standing a perfect storm of intensified calumny, and having made some of our acquaintances so angry that they have ceased to talk to us, simply because we discharged a sacred duty in voting for and advocating reconstruction, we look to Atlan ta for the fruits of victory—the re-establish ment of civil government in our State; representation in Congress, peace and quiet. Wc know that the restoration of Georgia is of vastly more importance than our individual relief, though the latter is devout ly to be hoped for. Having settled the question of eligibility,the Legislature should at once address itself to the work of disposing of the “fundamental conditions.” Then strike out the relief clause ; the voice of the yeomen of the State (men most in need of relief) is, “let it go.” A stay law will answer al! practicable purposes. The action of the Legislature upon this subject is merely formal; just as in the matter of manhood suffrage and emancipation. To say the least of it, there should be no wrangling. As before intimated, these are minor considerations as compared with the restoration of the State to the Union, whence she was torn years ago by such men as Cobb, Toombs, etc , against the will and counsel of such men as Hon. Foster Blodgett and a host of others. Cobb and Toombs are in Atlanta, we learn, drilling the young Democrats, instilling iuto their minds the doctrines which they have followed from their youth up. Repub licans must see to it, that the “fundamental conditions” are acquiesced in, before action is taken on the Fourteenth Article. Sorry to see some Republicans a little unwary. The enemy is wily and exceedingly plausible, as occasion demands. Unity is stkkngth. Seisms are to be avoided; they are generally fatal. Be vigilant, be vigi lant. In The National iterußLicAN of the 12ih instant, I read a suggesting Hon. Foster Blodgett as a suitable person for United States Senator. 1 cordially agree with your correspondent in ail ho says as to Mr. Blodgett’s competency, etc. Say to the General Assembly, as they must know, that he is the first choice ol the friends of recon struction, not an insignificant number of whom tire sturdy yeomen. We know the opposition press derisively term him “Busy B.” That’s a compliment. He is a busy bee, and stlch busy bees this country needs, so that we may truthfully exclaim, wh.em through his and his eolaborers’ exertions, wc see our State shake off the ashes ol ruin scattered over her by Toombs, Cobb & Co., .“there is life in the old land yet.” Mr. Blodgett- is to the “manner bor-u.” We know that he loves Georgia as he loves his life, and her interests would be more carefully looked after iu the United States Senate by no man than by him. The country people, and the town people— recOustructionists all—believe that their Senators and Representatives are aware of that fact, and they therefore confidently expect Mr. Blodgett’s election. ' . Yeoman. [CorYaspundeneo Augusta Republican. JFJ SHINGTON .LETTER. The Heated Term—Troubles of the Democracy— The Effect of Rebel Nominations—The Chief Justice still ot the Disposal of his Friends—Con. press—New Ytfrk Republican named for Governor —Thad. Stevens. Washington, D. C., July 15, 1868. The heated term is fairly upon us, the thermometer indicating for the last seven days from 92 to 102 in the shade. Con gressmen are not hall so anxious to get away as they were a lew weeks ago, for they realize that the Capitol is one of the most agreeable places on a hot day that can bo found in the country ; what with the nice drinks (temperance, ot course) furnished lyr the Sergeant-at-Arms in either House, and the disposition generally to take matters easy, the members manage to get along very comfortably. But it is believed Congress will take a recess as soon as all the Southern members have been sworn in, which probably will not be before the middle ol August. The Democratic nominees for President and Vice President arc still the subject es comment utnong tho Democracy, and not a day pusses but what one or more dis turbances occur, owing to a difference of opinion anion* Democrats as to the prospect of their candidates. So far as luy own observation goes, I have yet to see the first Democrat who cordially endorses the nomi nees, or who believes they have the slightest chance of being elected. President Johnson has not thus far endorsed them, and the indications are that he will not. Nearly all of the nominations he has made to the Senate since the New York Conven tion have been true Republicans, which fact adds another to the many difficulties by which the rebel Democracy are now encumbered. Without the support of Mr. Johnson, who controls the whiskey ring and thousands ot Federal office holders, tho party will lack the sinews of war to enable them to carry on a very active campaign, for men will not voluntarily contribute of their private means for political purposes without some chance of success. But the most humiliating spectacle of the day is the position occupied by Chief Justice Chase, It is now known to the world that he not only intrigued for the Republican nomina tion, and failing in this went on his knees and spat upon his past record to secure the Democratic nomination; failing in this also, he now is attempting to get somebody to nominate him as an independent candidate, and says he is “at the disposition of his friends.” It is quite evident that be Ims no idea of being elected President, but it would doubtless gratify him very much if he could defeat one of the other candidates— particularly General Grant, whom he bates as the devil hates holy water —by drawing to his support conservative men. Judge Chase, as 1 have written before hi these letters, seems to be. a monomaniac on the subject of tlie Presidency, and while there was a bare possibility at one time of his receiving consideration in the Democratic Convention, be has not now a baker’s dozen of admirers in the whole country. 1 he effect of nominating men iu sympathy with the foie rebellion is experienced in this Capital every day. No Republican, alone, is sale from insult, if ho should visit public places of resort in the evening. Praises of the leaders of the rebellion are everywhere heard, and Lee, Davis and Jackson ate toasted publicly. The loyal men of this District are determined to put a stop to these things, and will do so at an early day most effectually. The Republican party iu New York has acted wisely in selecting as a candidate for Governor the Hon. Mr. Griswold, a member of tire United States House of Representa tives, whose selection will aid materially in carrying that State for Grant and Colfax. Mr. Griswold is not only a man of dqjided ability, and a man of great wealth, bnt he has used both to the benefit of his country. When, in 1861, the rebels were preparing the ram Virginia in Gosport Navy Yard, and the Secretary of the Navy was looking about for some means to meet this for midable monster, but was likely to fail for want of money, Mr. Griswold stepped forward and caused the Monitor to be finished at his own risk. Had the arrival of this vessel at Hampton Roads been delayed one single week the result of the war might have been far different. With the Virginia unopposed, Washington would have been at the mercy of the rebels, and the capital of the nation once in their position, as is now well known, England and France would have openly aided the enemy. Mr. Griswold will re ceive the vote of every loyal man in the State. Thaddeu.-, Stephens is truly a wonderful man. Two years ago it was thought he could not live a month. His biography was then written, revised by himself, and Y>ut into type ready for use at a moment’s notice. He lived along with one foot in the grave, as it were, until the impeach-, ment trial had been closed, and then to the .surprise of every one he commenced walk ing into the House, instead as heretofore riding in a chair, and has gradually been improving every day since. He walked into the Senate chamber to-day, and was at once surrounded by a coterie of friends, be longing to both political parties, who warmly congratulated him upon his im proved appearance. Capital. The Columbus Prisoners* testimony for the defence continued. Seven lecntli Day. Pursuant to adjournment, the Court met at 10 o’clock, Saturday morning. ZACK T. KlN(f, SWORN. I live in Columbus, Ga. lam 19 years of age. I am clerk in a bank. I know Columbus Bedell. He is here. (Points him out.) Mr/ Bedell is book keeper of L. G. Bowers, who is engaged in the cotton business, and insurance also. My business office is in the same room with him. Mr. Bedell was in the office until 10 o’clock on the night of Ashburn’s murder. He was at work. I do not know where he was after that. He remarked that he was feeling unusually unwell that night and intended retiring early. Mr. Bedell left a few minutes after the bell struck ten that night. □'here was no cross examination of tho witness. nOMEII II STARR, SWORN. I reside in Columbus. I am a cotton shipper. I know Columbus Bedell by sight, but have no personal acquaintance except through business transactions. I saw him the night Ashburn was killed. I was sitting in my room vyith the door open, and saw him pass a little after ten o’clock. Our rooms are above twelve feet apart in what is known as the McGee building. When I saw him he was going into his sleeping apartment. I retired about twelve. 1 looked at the at half past eleven and then began to retire. My door was open until I retired. He could not have left his room before I retired without my knowledge. I did not hear his door open after I retired. Our rooms are on the second floor. Several others occupy rooms on the same floor. (Witness names them.) CROSS EXAMINATION. This house is on Broad street. It is not a hotel or boarding house. The Internal Revenue have offices in the building; the Alabama revenue officers occupy rooms in the building. The hot) sc is not kept by any person. There are stores on the ground floor of the building. 1 went to my room that night about nine o’clock. Before that 1 had been to my office—about a hundred yards distant, attending to my usual busi ness. Henry H. Epping and Richard B. Watson were in my office that night. Ep ping is now in Columbus and Watson is in Abington, Va; Epping is a banker and a cotton shipper. I usually close ray office and go to iny sleeping room as soon as we get through with our usual business. Tom linson' was in the room with me that night; he was in the room when I got there ; ho was my roommate. Ido not know where he is now. When I last heard from him he was in Chambers county, Ala. No one else was in Iho .room that night. We went to bed about iho same time ; we slept on the same bed. Our usual time for going to bed was about twelve o’clock. We were talking over some business matters we had between us, before we retired. The arrest of Mr. Bedell next morning, impressed what passed that night upon my mind. I did not think it necessary to impress topics of conversa tion on my mind. I remember the business topics ; but not the general topics. Mr. Stephens objected to the course of the examination, on the ground.that none of the answers elicited were calculated to elucidate the case in point. Gov. Brown stated llmt as the witness swears that he saw Bedell pass his room about 10 o’clock, the line of questions was legitimate, in order to test the strength of his memory, by showing how far other events occurring the same night were impressed upon bis memory. The Court retired for consultation, and, upon its return, announced the objection was overruled, and the examination continued, The business conversation was in regard to some dissatisfaction Tomlinson had with a partner in Columbus. There was nothing unusual in Bedell’s appearance that night. There is but one flight of steps to the building. My room is the last one. I can't be positive how far from the head of the steps. There is a passage through the building with apartments on both sides. My room was on the left hand side. Mr. Bedell's room was opposite ujine. There are two doors to my room. The door opposite Mr. Bedell's was open that uighL I was near the centre of the room. I suppose it was twenty or twenty-five feet from where I sat to Bedell’s door, but I am not positive about it. There was no light burning in the passage way that night. There was no door open but my own, in tny portion of the building. I don't know about the front part. I occu pied the same scat all the time. I got up once or twice to get matches to light my pipe, lie matches were on tbe mantel. The mantel is in the west end of the room. 1 cau not stand at the mantel ami see Bedell's door; but I can see any oue.pass ing to and from Bedell’s door. Some persons could pass there without attracting my attention, Mr. Bedell never came to. his room without attracting ray attention. He bad a peculiar way of wiping his feet on a mat before he entered his room, that I always noticed whether the room door was closed or uo*. Ido not swear thirt he never passel in and out of his room without attracting my attention. I do.not know khat 1 and mv roommate Wfl anything iery serious to talk about that night. He was relating and I was listening. I fell a decided interest in what he was saying. Whenever any one passes I usually glance "up to see who it is. It might be possible that while I was engaged in conversation some one conld pass without attracting my attention. It is possible, but not probable, that Bedell might have done so. by the court. My door opens to the left. It was not swung against the wall, but it was swung open. The door was closed after 1 had looked nt the clock—jnst before I retired to bed after half after 11 o’clock. The floor of the hall was not covered by carpet or matting. The water closets attached to the building were in the rear—on the west side. The occupants got to the water closets by a back step. I have lived in Columbus about a year. I lived there nearly all my life before the war. I do not letnetnber any other men in Colum bus resembling Mr. Bedell in size and appearance. RE-CROSS EXAMINATION. The back steps lead down into an enclosed lot where the waler closets are. There is a main entrance on the east side, and back steps on the west side, leading down to an enclosed lot where the water closets are. The lot is enclosed by warehouse walls and a fence. I suppose the fence could be crossed. Ido not know what sort of a fence it is. I could not get over'it. I don’t know about Mr. Bedell’s activity. (This was prolonged to a considerable extent.) RE DIRECT. I never knew anybody to enter the build ing from the back steps. Dr. Urquhart's lot lies beyond the fence. There is no way of getting on the street al all from this back lot. My sleeping apartments were rented. My roommate used to Kava his meals sent to his room. He was a portrait painter.— (A diagram was here handed the witness, which he saiifmainl-y,represented the situa tion of the building aid the lot.) RE-CBOSS EXAMINATION. I case of fire in front I could escape by the back way by going through other lots. 1 could try to get over the fence. I don’t know that I could do so. The Court then a&urned until 10 o'clock on Monday. '■ .jsn (From the Atlanta Era. A CARD. I call public tittention to the annexed correspondence. It explains itself. It is due to Governor Bullock to say that n'o un kindness towards hint prompts this publica tion. 1 hope his solution of the matter is a true one. I prefer to think well of every body. Joshua Hill. Atlanta, July 16, 1868. My Dear Sir: It affords me pleasure to inform you that I havo received official information that by a vote of two thirds of each House of Congress, any political disa bility which may have attached to yourself has been removed. Very respectfully, R. B. Bullock, Governor cleet. Hon.. Joshua Hill, Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga , July 16th, 1868. His Excellency R. B. Bullock. Dear Sir—l was surprised to learn by your note of this date, that Congress had “relieved me of any political disability which may have attached to me.” I can not be thankful for what 1 neither needed nor de sired. I have induced Congress to relieve several Georgians of their political disabili ties, but it never occurred to me to solicit relief for myself. It is more than two years since I first took what is known as the “test oath.” I have taken it twice. I have never feared a charge of perjury for doing so. I appreciate intended kindnesses, except where they make me ridiculous. Whether the application for my relief was designed to detract from my standing as a constant friend of the Union, I can not tell, but such, un questionably, is its effect. I shall -be better able to determine this when I come to know who volunteered in my behalf. I shall en deavor to ascertain to whom I am indebted. If within your power to relieve my anxiety on this point, I shall he much obliged for the information. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Joshua Hill. Atlanta, July 16, 18G8. My Dear Sir— lam in receipt of your note of this date, and in reply would say that I have no knowledge as to how or why your name appears in the list furnished me, of persons whose political disabilities have been removed by a two-thirds vote of each House. It certainly was not either nt my suggestion or solicit it ion. • I presume, however, that it has been done by some one of your many friends in either House at Washington. From my conversa tions with members while there, I became advised that their opinion of the effect of the “14Z7i article" teas .such as to debar from office every person who, after haring held an office and taken an oath. lo support the Con stitution of the United States, rendered aid or comfort, whether voluntarily or involun tarily, to the enemies of the Union, and, in this view, I presume some of those gentle men added your name.

On motion of Mr. Speer, the messenger was required to procure locks for the desks of the Senate. On motion, the Senate adjourned to 10 o’clock Monday morning. house. Tho first business in order was the consid eration of the minority report of the Com mittee on the Eligibility of Members. Mr. Shumate being entitled to the floor, resumed and concluded his speech in favor of the adoption of the minority report. Mr. Price called the previous question, which was sustained.
