God save the Com - monwealth .' * CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT. The best campaign document is a <jood politico} veictjarper. Distributed daily, contaiifiug also the latest intelligence and general reading that interests every mem bcr of the family, this medium of influ encing public opinion lias clearly a great advantage over mere pamphlet speeches, or dissertations on *. particular theme. Executive committees ami individuals disposed to give the most effective aid to a cause they have at heart, need only be reminded of this to appreciate the good which a lire campaign paper can do, at a trifling cost. - * THE BLAIR BID. When Absalom stood at the gate of the palace, and sought out those who had complaints to bring before the King, and deplored to them the denial of justice, and Said, “0 that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath uny suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice,” we "know what he meant —and what came of it. When Johnson, as soon as Ire was elected Vice President, began to talk of the necessity for restoring the Democratic party, we know what he meant by it—and we have seen what came of it. When Frank P. Blaik, the candidate for Vice President, blows a trumpet to tell what he would do if President elect, and promises just what the secessionists want, we should like to know what he means by it. And we are compelled to think that, in view of what lias occured, it looks very suspicious. THE TREATY WITH CHINA. The oldest and the youngest nations have shaken hands over the intervening Pacific.

This treaty gives to the empire of China rank among the grqat powers of the earth, opens to the United States a wide field for enterprise and profitable commercial opera tions, and marks a new era in the world’s progress. •- -*-« TOOMBS AND COBB. Robert Toombs and Howell Cobb re cently addressed a democratic ratification meeting in Atlanta. If wc may credit the local papers, they were greeted with '’un bounded enthusiasm” by “two thousand white men,” Us the “old champions who led them in the past.” Toombs pronounced “Radicalism the greatest criminal the world ever saw, now on trial before the grand inquest of the Democratic party,” He urged the “men of the South” to “fly to the arms of their Northern allies, to assist in crushing the viper out pf-exist ence.” Cobb “scared Grant and the Chicago pintform with the fires of his indignation.” The searing thus poetically referred to seems to have consisted, in part, of a some what reckless statement flint “the selection of such a man upon such a sot of pripci ples would be the greatest calamity that could possibly befall the country.” The time was when Cobb and his compeers thought the triumphs of Grant over Lee would lie the world’s superlative calamity. The world moves aud men change their minds. Many of these intensely Southern gentlemen, however, having been convinced against their will, are “of the same opinion still”—-as runs the proverb. The Pow -Wow at Atlanta.—At the meeting of the Augusta Democrats, held the other night, for the appointment of Delegates to the State Democratic Con vention, to convene in Atlanta to morrow, it was very magnanimously resolved that every Democrat and Conservative be “considered" a delegate! Fare for the round trip, four dollars. As we have quite a number of Demo crats and Conservatives among our city subscribers, we publish this item for gen era! information. ■» Plain English.—Blair, in his advocacy for declaring reconstruction null and void, let out what "his party rather thiuk that, say. The people know Vfcry well that the plain English of it all means the resubjugalion of the blacks, and the restoration of the rebel Democracy to power. Many who look up,on negro suffrage as being in itself an. evil, are still invincibly opposed to Blairism, beeanse they know it would be a practical surrender to the Confederates. [Communicated. POLITTQS Al ATLANTA. Mr. Editor: As a plain Republican, holding no office and desiring none, I would comment briefly on affairs at At lanta. That the party in the General Assembly styling itself Democratic should endeavor by money, whiskey, brow beating, and flattery, to elect Democratic Senators, or defeat out-and-out Radicals, with hnlf hearted Republicans, was to have been expected ; but that any Republican Sena tor or Representative would be found who could yield for a moment to the seductive blandishments of these wily disunioniste, is beyond tuy poor comprehension. For the past two weeks I have noticed in the violent partisan organs of Georgia fulsome compliments of gentlemen in the General Assembly, claiming to be earnest Radicals. What have these legislators- done that their enemies should praise them ? If they had uniformly aeted for the interest aud benefit of the Republican party, mould Democrats become their eulogists ? Do they not know that while these designing Democrats compliment them in the Legislature, in the streets, aud through the press, not one of them would bo permitted to cross the threslihold of a leading Democrat's private scsidence ? Are Republican legislators willing to lick the hand that strikes them ? Isn’t the fact notorious that the party stands pledged to "disperse” the "Southern State Governments ? Democrats howl like demons whenever the military interferes in behalf of loyalty, yet they are conducting a Presidential canvass with the understand ing that, in the event of success, they will use the military power of the United States to "disperse” the legal governments in ten States. This is ito new doctrine with these bold, bad men. The military is a very good thing when it can be used against the Coifntry; but when used to preserve the country’s honor, it is very* despotic. The real cause of this painful state of affairs iu the Republican ranks in the Legis lature, 1 opine, is the desire of a few Repub licans in each House to defeat the weli awertuinod choipq , of a majority pf tlidir’ colleagues, mid of their constituents. for the United Stales Seuatorahip. A. 11. Stephens once characterized President Buchanan’s warfare on Senator Douglas as “tviekedl.y foolish.” The same may be said with reference to the Democratic mnl Republican, “dickering” to defeat Governor Brown and Hon, Foster Blodgett. The Republican party of Georgia favors the election of three gentlemen—not alone, or chiefly,"for per sonal, but for political reasons. - So far as Governor Brown is concerned, many support hita with reluctance, 'oy account'd' his former identification with secession. However, like true patriots, they stifle their prejudices for the good ol the country. .Such conduct is noble, and in striking contrast with the narrow-minded jealousy of the few malcißi tents to whom I have referred. Our party is convinced of Governor Brown’s sincerity, aird honors him for the niiiguificeul canvass he made for Bulloek and the Ctwtitutton. It is the interest and duty of tire- party to reward its active, able and effective leaders. In reference to the claims of Hon. Foster Blodgett to the other seat, I must say that I have never heard a single plausible reason advanced why he should not be elected. 1 know it is grating to the aristocratic feelings of some of the old-timers to be distanced by one who came from the people, and is to day of them in sympathy and in fact. Some of the debating-society politicians say he is no speaker. To ascertain extent, this is true; Foster Blodgett, is not a man of words, but of actions. Actions speak-louder than words. Some of the ablest and most useful men this country ever produced were men of few words. Thomas Jefferson never made a speech over fifteen minutes long. Our great candidate lor the Vros'uteney, General Grant, is no speaker, aud the people like him better for it. . No, Foster Blodgett uses no superflu ous wends—but no man can express himself Wore clearly y.and then he possesses powers! which are far greater and move serviceable than the “gin of gab.” Neither Howell Cobb or Gov. Brown possess in an equal degree the faculty (If combining apparently conflicting interests in his own party, qi;d bringing them to act harmoniously in its interest. He is full of resources. The Demo crats understand this fact, ami that is the reason they pursue him with the ferocity of blood-hounds. They know that bis defeat would be as the “rout of an army with ban ners.” If the Republicans are true to (Jieui selves, they will place him where he can use his matchless skill and unequalled’ energy for the permanent success of" Republican ■principles in Georgia. Mechanic. — A Conglomeration.- In Geology there arc conglomerate rocks, so named, because they are formed of materials entirely differ ent in character and texture,.mechanically united, like the rocks we see around Rocky Point. Flinty nodules, pebbles, and the like, arc united by a cement. So at the present time, we find the democratic •party to be a conglomeration. Nodules, pebbles, and all sorts of principles are cemented together, the cement lx:ing the hope of office and plunder. These nodules, on ex amination, wo shall find U» be -‘Chase and Impartial Suffrage,” “Blair and'a White* Man's Government*,” “Chase and Gold Pay went of Bonds."' and Pendleton and Re pudiation. The democracy are the Pud dling Stone party, a stone which the people, as builders, will reject. * The Old Fight.—One very prolific source of discord -and war was gotten rid of when" our fathers organized a govern ment separate from the church, securing freedom aud protection to all religious, and even no religion. Most of the wars of the qorld have been religious wars. Half of the troubles of Europe at the present time grow out of the union of Church and State, in Japan —the land of exclusiveness and jealousy of all disturbing outside influ ences—a religious war is now being waged with great zeal ajad determination. The spiritual is trying to set its foot stiff mare heavily on the neek of the temporal. The temporal power rebels, and there even division in the rauks of the spiritual, which, however, Seems to have had the best of the tight. But it is only a question of time. The gates are opened to progress,, and the powers that be can not arrest its onward march. The spiritual power must ultimately confine itself entirely to tilings 3irituaJ, and leave to the temporal power I things temporal. Such is the law ol nature, of reason, of progress, of freedom, of universal brotherly love. ■* . ——— —A clergyman iu Montreal, Canada, lias been fined for -muting iu wedlock a widow aged 40 years to a susceptible youth of 17. The marriage has been annulled- The Columbus Prisoners. ♦ TESTIMONY toil THE DEFENCE CONTINUED. ICigliieentli Day. ROSWELL ELLIS SWORN. I reside in Columbus, Ga. I was confined to riiy bed with sickness the night Ashburn was killed. My sleeping apartments were up stairs iu what is known as McGee's Building. Several other persons had sleeping apartments in the building. (Witness names the other occupants which include Mr. Bedell.) When I say "Mr. Bedell,” I mean Columbus C. Bedell, whom I recognize among the prisoners there. 1 did not hear him come in that nigh.. I almost invariably hear him come iu and go out I had been sick and confined to my bed about ten days, and that day 1 imprudently got up and walked down to my boarding house. Being very much exhausted, or from the influence ■of opiates, 1 slept unnaturally sound that n.’.ght. I awoke between twelve and one. I heard Mr. Bedell’s clock strike on*e after I awoke. I awoke with a pasoxysm of pain, and did not go to sleep again before daylight, f think if Mr. Bedell had come into his room or gone out of it after I awoke I would have heard him. I usually hear Mr. Bedell when he comes in or goes out while I am in my room. 1 know Mr. Bedell’s habits during the time we have been rooming there. I know that he has been kept up very late by his business. .1 Lave occasion to know that during the cotton season, until very lately his time for retiring varies from ten to two. I never met him in any public meeting of a political character. Ido not know that he ever attended one. His usual mode of wearing bis hair does not vary materially from the style in which he new wears it. I can’t recollect that I ever saw it longer—hanging about his shoulders. There was no carpet iu his room. There may be a piece near his bed. I can very distinctly hear persons walking in his room. I know his walk froui others'. He has a peculiar walk,-ami having heard it so often, I could easily recognize it as his. I have a very distinct recollection of waking up about 1 o’clock and hearing his clock strike. Mr. Bedell came in my room about between eight and nine o'clock in the inorniug and asked me if J had heard him come in the night before. I told him I had not. He then told me he had retired at sdrno early hour. He then told me had heard that he was accused of complicity in the assassination. I have seen a person named Hudson, who bore a personal resemblance to Mr. Bedell. He wore his hair long over his shoulders. His height aud apfiearanee corresponds with Mr. Bedell’s. I know Mr. W. 11. Bran um. His appearance and beard corresponds with Mr. Bedell's but he is not so till. I know Major Bradley. He is a B.outer man that Mr. Bedell, not so tall, and has a long- black beard. There was no way of getting out tho back way from that build ing without climbing fences. The fence on .one side ol this lot is an upright plank fence, six or seven feet high. It separates the water closets from a vacant kitchen. On the west side of the lot are warehouse walls. On the south side is a very high fence, which protects nearly the south side. The •rctnamder is protected by the walls of the house. It was a fence originally built* around a negro mart. It is fifteen feet high, I judge. (A diagram was here submitted which the witness said was a correct one of the McGee building.) (.Judge Warner here appeared in the Court room, and tho counsel for the defence asked that he might be examined in refer ence to the character of Woodward, Tucker, Reese, and Parham, whose veracity it was claimed bad been attacked. The prosecution objected on the ground that the veracity of the witnesses had not been attacked, but that they had been carried through a sifting cross examination to test their strength of memory. The request withdrawn and the matter put upon the record.] CROSS EXAMINATION. From my long acquaintance with Mr. 'Bedell, I could readily distinguish any of the petsofos named in the direct examination from him. In the night I might not. I mean that I could hear Mr. Bedell pass in and out of his room with his boots or shoes bit. I thinkflt improbable that he could go out in his stocking feet, without attracting my attention. If his door was unlocked, it is probable that it could be done. I think his clack strikes the hours correctly, for I often set my watch- by it. • I dor/t remember having attended any political meetings a 'short timo before the death of Ashbum. My statement in reference to Bedell was from my knowledge of his general habits. During my paroxysm of pain that night, I was particularly wakeful, and should have heard everything passing in the hall. If this important event had not been made known to me next morning', I should not have re meinbe'red what occurred. My room is about four hundred or five hundred yards from where Ashburn w as killed. Ido not know that I could have heard the firing of teu or fifteen pistols Item that locality. If the firing had been in the street, it is possible I might have heard it. I cannot state whether Bedell had been ont of his room before he came into nay Toom that ratfiming or. not. I heard the usual noise In his room that m -riii-ng before wuc into mine, which indicated that he had guile out. I think he’ went out al.oat his luinil time—about eight •o’clock. 4 .suppose ho had been out that morning before he came in to visit me, because 1 heard the usual noise he usually makes before going out. Ido not re-ixmiber hearing him go nut id'his room. I refreshed irty meinory about his getting up at the Usual hour Li the morning. It is Possible for him to have wulkfll (nto his room wiuioptmy hearing him. 4 remarked nothing uunsual in his appearance that uivruing. The store rooms under the building had not been occupied for several months. I think the doors could nut have becu possibly opened that night. 1 do not. know of my own knowledge who bad the keys of the store room that night. Ido not swear that Bedell did nut have them. I suppose it is possible that he may have had them and gone through there that night. Mr. Bedell might have crossed the fence between tire tot and Dr. Urquhart's lot. U Mr. Bedell laid desired to go. out of his t'Coui tliat night without my knowledge he might with great ease have done so. 1 only pretend to swear 1 believe lie did not go out that night. I can hot state that be did not, of my own knowledge. I do not know if anybody entered bis room next morning before he went into llie«6trects. I might have heard them if they had. re direct. Dr. Urquhart and family occupied his house at that time. Several families were boarding with him. A person passing through the tot that night would have been more exposed to observation than on Broad street. RH CROSS EXAMINATION. As 1 Went, to sleep between 8 and 9 o’clock that night nnd did not wake until about one, Mr. Bedell might have come in without waking me. BY TUB COURT, I heard of Ashburn’s murder between 8 and 9 o'clock next morning. I am positive that I waif awakened by pain' that night and no’, by Mr. Bedell's coming in. I can not tell bow many minute's before oue I awoke thnt night. The person 1 appearing like Bedell was pointed out to me aabseqtient to the death ol Ashburn. At the conclusion of the examination of this witness, Mr. Htepheus stated that ho was quite tin waft, atid asked the Court to adjourn. The Court adjourned until 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
