For I’HESIDEXi'
Os the United States:
IJLVSSES S. GRANT.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
Schuyler Colfax,
01' INDIANA.
THE KUK LUX CONVENTION.
The grand powwow of the Ku-Klux
Klan in Atlants, on Thursday, appears to
have been a most unmitigated fizzle, so far
as its object—the exciting to riot, Mood
shed and revolution —were concerned. The
effect has lieen directly contrary to that
which its originators intended. Instead of
exciting enthusiasm and inciting the fol
lowers of democracy to renewed exertions,
the effect of the Convention lias been to
produce discouragement among its origi
nators, to open the eyes of their dupes, and
encourage the Republicans.
No 1 Hitter campaign document* for
Grant and Colfax can be disseminated
throughout the country, than the speeches
of Cobb and Him. on this occa
sion. Beside the usual staple of their
orations abuse find libels upon better men
than themselves—they made clearly to
appear to their audience that the whole
object of their efforts was to plunge the
country into renewed confusion and another
civil war. In fact, they stand squarely
upon Blair’s platform, the oversetting by
the sword of the whole fabric of recon
struction. Possibly they may be able to
attain their object, through the aid of all
the lawless, turbulent and restless ele
ments of the community, but pru
dent and thoughtful men—those who
are weary of strife—those, who have
had enough of war—those 1 who wish to
enjoy the fruits of their industry in pence
—those who want no conscript officer
dragging of themselves or their sons to a
causeless and desperate contest—those who
do not want quartermasters emptying every
corn-crib and smoke-house—will recoil at
the gulf towards which these orators
wotlld lead them. It may be Hint quiet
men- those knowing and desiring - the
best interests of themselves, their State
and the whole country —will lay supine
and inactive until, as in 1860, the rowdy
and desperate men of the community will
so far gain the ascendancy as to hold the
destinies of the State in their control;
but if tlicy are again cheated to their own
ruin, it will not be for the want of suffi
cient warning. They are sufficiently
warned by the very men who have once
plunged them into ruin—they arc warned
in the same manner that they were in
1860, for the speeches of the present are'
marvelously like those of that date, and
the men who deliver them are the same
men who then “ tired the Southern heart."
These men succeeded in blinding the eyes
of the people to the coßssquences then, but
can the people expect that n similar course
now will not be followed by similar and
worse consequences ?
There is no disguising that the platform
of Blair and Seymour, and their cham
pions North and South, means war, and
nothing but civil war. Blair is honest
enough to declare that as the legislation in
reference to reconstruction can not lie
repealed in a legitimate and constitutional
manner, it must be done by the aid of the
array. This is revolution, war, and no
thing else, and no other meaning can be
attached to Blair’s programme, which is
adopted ns their platform by his party,
and upon which stand the orators of the
Atlanta Convention. If the good men of
the country arc not prepared to be plunged
again into another era of war and desola
tion, they must rally to the standard of
the Republican party, having inscribed
upon its folds, “Let us have peace.”
THE RESTORATION.
One after another, the military district
commanders in the Southern States have
set to the gracious task of divesting them
selves of the powers and responsibilities
which belong to the civil administration.
We-should judge it to be about the
pleasantest duty that they have had to
perform sinco the office of district com
mander wns created. But be that as it
may, is there not some danger that, it this
business of superseding the military by the
civil authority in the South goes on at the
present rate, several of the strongest and
most telling points in the Democratic
platform may be made to lose their force
long before the election comes off ? There
are few among us likely soon to forget how
it was in this regard four years Ago. Lee’s
surrender came only a few months after
the*party declaration that the war was
‘ a failure.’ A majority of the people, it
turned out, were sorry to believe the war a
failure They refused, in fact, to believe
it, until they heard from the army head
quarters around Petersburg. Aud that
spoiled one of the very strongest planks on
which Mr. Pendleton and Gen’l McClel
lan had been placed before the people.
Now, if anything similar should happen
between this and November to show that
the people of the South are not exactly
tu yet condemned to a perpetual military
despotism, a great many wise calculations
would lx 1 entirely spoiled. Gen. Blair's
preparations for another campaign in the
bloody field would be rendered useless, and
the judgment of the party leaders would
be brought into partial discredit. That is
a result not to lie contemplated with
serenity. ♦
Polla an, the rebel author of “The Lost
Cause," publishes another book, “The Lost
Cause Regained,” in which he says he is
now “convinced that the true cause fought
for in the late war has not been lout irn
measurably or irrevocably, but is yet in a
condition to be regarded by the South an
ultimate issue of the political contest.” He
probably saw the trtrn the Democratic
campaign was taking.
THEY Givi IT UP.
The Democratic journals are now, since
Mr. Sbtmovr’s course during the war has
been laid bare, desirous to avoid any allu
sions to that war record, which at first they
hoped to ring the changes upon, and also
to shout his praises as a war Democrat,
worthy to receive the support of all men
who stood by the Government in the dark
days of the rebellion.
Since it has come to light that Mr. Sey-
MoVit, Instead of doing all he could to aid
the Federal Government In suppressing the
rebellion, actually gave aid and comfort to
the enemy, his friends Who are now push
ing bis claims for the Presidency Wish to
ignore his war record, and like Mr. Toots,
now declare that “it is of no consequence”
what he thought or did.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
We doubt whether a single vote will be won or
lost by any such nonsense as what Gov. Seymour
• thought or did about the late war.
We have had in this country a gigantic
civil war, in which one section of the conn
try was arrayed in 'deadly hostility to the
other. More than a million of lives, and
I more than three thousand millions of dol
lars, were lost aud wasted, and yet it is all
. “nonsense” as to what this man, who now
I asks to be elected to the highest office in
the nation, “thovght or did about the lute
iearl n
Bush is the oracular utterance of a lead,
ing Democratic journal. - We arc not
( surprised that, with such a candidate on
their hands as Horatio Seymour. they
are anxious to ignore any reference to his
. course during tire rebellion. The record
is not a pleasing one to-day, especially as
viewed from the Northern and loyal stand
point. Had the Government failed to
, suppress the outbreak and to put down
[ the insurgents, Mr. Sjsymooh and his
cause would have indeed triumphed. The
unrepentant rebels, to-day, thank this
| Democratic candidate for what he tried to
do for them in the struggle, and they are
especially grateftil for the sympathy he
then manifested in their behalf; aud they
now desire to Toward him for what he did
for them; and more esjwciaUy do they
expect that, if elected, he will yet give
them all they desire. Well may Governor
Vance say, “we shall gain all we fought
lor if Seymour and Blair are elected.” It
is even so.
The Northern Democracy may be will
ing to ignore his record during the war,
but the wing of the party in tile South
arc nut desirous to do any *ueh thing. He
will be run in the South on the strength
and excellence of that war record, as
viewed from a Southern standpoint. He
is their candidate, because Ins election
would inspire hope for the “lost cause. ’’
But the Enquirer doubts “whether a single
vote will be lost or won” on this issue.
Easy, my friend, easy ; not quite so fast
“Tht boys in blue,” with their friends and
. all those who remember their lost ones,
starved to death in Libby and Anderson
ville, the great mass of patriotic loyal
people of the North, will show you that it
does make some difference as to what was
this man’s record. You may call an in
quiry into Mr. Seymour’s war record
“iionetHM,"' if you choose ; but the people
in November will show you that they l
prefer the man who has • such a War
record as belongs to General Guant,
a record replete with glorious deeds.
By the way, why would it not be
just as well to say, that it makes no differ
ence ns to what is General Grant's war
record. The record of these two mtm, we
submit, is very unlike. The one is glo
rious, heart-inspiring, patriotic, and grand.
The other is pusillanimous, infamous, ami
unworthy of any American citizen. No
wonder that the Northern Democratic
press desire to keep the latter out of sight
. and to ignore it altogether.
This country was at war ivith Great
Britain,in 1812. There was then a class of
. men who opposed the war, and did actually,
as it was said, sympathize with our ene
mies, There was in those days a gathering
known as the Hartford Convention; there
was the hanging out of blue lights and
certain other manifestations, thought to be
on the side of tile enemy. Did the men
who mingled in these scenes, aud gave aid
and comfort to the enemy, ever get over
it ! Were they ever trusted and honored
by the nation afterwards ? Never ’ Lit
your Seymours, your Vallandioii amb,
your Pendletons, and all of this ilk, take
warning. The people do not forget. They
have tenacious memories.
James L. Orr, iu his recent valedictory
message as Governor of South Carolina,
takes strong gronds against the folly of
attempting to reverse the prevailing policy
of reconstruction, and shows the futility of
all efforts to deprive the freedmen of the
right of suffrage. He counsels submission
to the existing order of things, and advises
the South to make the best of it. For
twenty years Gov. Orr was a leading dem
ocratic statesman in his section of (lie
Union. For a long |tork>d he was one of
the most distinguished members of the
House of Representatives, and ultimately
Speaker of that body. lie went into the
rebellion with a good deal of reluctance ;
but once in, he stood among its conspicu
ous champions, was a Senator from South
Carolina in the Confederate Congress, and
remained faithful to its cause till the final
catastrophe# lie was always esteemed a
skilful politician and a wise counsellor,
and ere the rebellion broke out had a great
influence with the Northern democracy.
The opinions of such a man in the prcscht.
crisis are entitled to far more weight than
tluise of such hotspurs as Henry A. Wise.

Mr. Editor: The exercises qf the Spring
Term of Emory College closed this day. The
commencement was attended throughout by
a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen
from different parts of the State. .
The regular sermon was preached by Rev.
Dr. Boring.
Monday evening, the Sophomore exhibi
tion took place, everything passing off clev
erly and* to (he credit of faculty and
speakers.
Tuesday morning, the J uniors made their
debut, with original speeches. The youthful
orators displayed taste iu the selection of
their subjects, and handled them hand
somely.
In the afternoon, the Emory College En
dowment Association met, and was addressed
by Bishop Pierce. The members of this
association arc, for the most part, Alumni of
the College. Each member promises to give
the sum of twenty dollars annually toward
the endowment.
At night the Society anniversaries oc
curred. The exercises were of au interesting
character.
Wednesday— the day— the programme
proved extensive: Au excellent Alumni
address by Mr. A. J. Smith ; Senior exhibi
tion ; Baccalaureate address by President
Smith ; Literary address by Hon. 11. W.
Hilliard.
There are only two graduates this year—
Walker Lewis and J. E. Pope.
The.orations of these young gentlemen
were well written and delivered with au
earnestness that marked them as young men
of no ordinary talents-
President Smith’s address was a masterly
production ; Mr. Hilliard’s, characteristic of
the orator.
The College is in a flourishing condition.

the scholastic year. M.

■General Grant.—lt is not a little aims

papers are perplexed by General Grant’s
military record. They call him a butcher,
a blunderer, a stupid pig-headed numskulb
and all that sort of thing ; 'still, there stand
his deeds. lie crushed out the rebellion.
He saved the nation, and history /will so
record it.
One paper says he i« not so great a man
as was Ihe elder Napoleon, and that lie
does not come up within a long distance of
Wellington.
All that we luxve to say to such stuff is,
that General Grant, from the time he
entered the army, went on from victory to
victory, from Donelson to Appomattox Court
House. Show ns a man in ancient or
modern times who, with such means as he
had nt his command, has done more. If
the political cnctniesof General Grant can
find no other weapons to use against him
than such ns these, they had better keep
silent. *

The Electoral College Bill.—
The following is the bill, or resolution,
which has passed Congress regulating the
vote of the Electoral College of the South
ern States, known ns the Edmunds bill:
Resolved, That none of the States wlwsa
inhabitants were lately .iu rebellion shall
be entitled to representation in the Elec
total College for choice of President an<l
Vice President of the United States, nor
shall any electoral vote be received or
counted from any such States, unless at
the timq prescribed by law for the choieo
of electors, the people id' such States, pur
suant to the acts of Congress in that behalf,
shall have since the 4th of March, 1867,
adopted a Constitution of State government
under which a State government shall have
been organized and shall be-in operation,
and unless such election of electors shall,
have been hold under authority of such
Constitution, and such States shall have
also been entitled to representation in
Congress pursuant to the acts of Cotigress
in that behalf.
«-♦-•
The Candidates. General Grant has
retired to his farm, near St. Louis, and he
will spend his time there and in journeying
over the Plaius till the middle or last ol
September.
Speaker Colfax, when Congress adjourns,
will also go West. There will be a reception
awaiting him at South Bend, Indiana—his
home —and it is presumed that lie will then
travel West and enjoy that relaxation from
bis arduous labors which he must need.
Governor Seymour has retired to his farm
in ‘Western New York, and wc presume if
the politicians will let him aloue he will
remain there for the most part till the
electidn. After that he can stay as long as
he pleases.
General Frank P. Blair, Jr., has gone to
the Rocky Mountains, whether to prepare for
war which he proposes to-inaugurate, or to
cool the ardor of his feverish brain, we can
not say. It is hoped the latter. a
Daniel S. Dickinson used always to say,
that he knew when Horatio Sevmour most
desired to be a candidate for office by the
pertinacity with which be declined it.. When-
Seymour received a complimentary nomina
tion in 1861, and was expected to adhcre.to
his declared' purpose not to accept it, he
disappointed and disgusted the wiser mem
bers of the party and was defeated nt the
polls, an they knew he would be. The late
Dean Richmond was in the lobby of Twed
dle Hall at the time,and, someone informing
him that Seymour wns making a speech
accepting the nomination, he turned on his
heel in anger, saying : “1 always knew he
was a fool, and pow he has proved it."
