SATOR DAY MORNINS fely 2.5,18158 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. Wade Hampton, ami Robert Toombs. • • An exchange say«: “Oar member of Congress is a smart sort of chap, anil is doing himself credit. He has already got off two speeches prepared for him, ground seven of the district axes, feathered his nest freely, and promised to marry the prettiest widow in town.” An active and pivnluable member. . —A Missouri farmer sheared a sheep recently, the fleece of which was but one year and seven days old, and yet it weighed twen‘y-seven and A quarter pounds.

M. 11. Bloss, “My book’s a total loss, And I’ll bo chief mourner.” “Who takes the spoils?” “I,” said Horatio, “If you trill say so, I— l’ll—take—-tbo—spoils.” Then all the greeubackers Fell to sighing and sobbing, At the loss of . their chances For plund'ring and robbing. OXFORD COMMENCEMENT, [For the Augusta Republican. Oxford, Ga., July 22, 18CI» 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. .Over two hundred students entered during the scholastic year. M. » r -- - W■— , ■General Grant.—lt is not a little aims ing to observe how the Democratic news 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."
