National Hqmblican Al tcjus'BA . <>A. MS r"'W Ijw.fr- WEDNESDAY MORNING Julr29, For I»I€KSII>ETW , r Os the United States: ULYSSES S. GRAM. FOR VICE PRESIDENT: Schuyler Colfax, OF INDIANA. A CHAPTER WITHOUT B TITLE. We take it for granted that there is not ti good citizen of Augusta who rhxrs not • deplore the terrible difficulty of Monday night. In all human probability it never would have occurred if the disorderly citizens had not been laboring under an excitement produced by strong drink. If they had been sober there would have l>cen no noise or tight. All such difficul ties nre most unfortunate, and extremely prejudicial to the best interests of the eily. Now that this one has happened, with its unhappy results, it is the duty of the press and of all good citizens to quit any violent language or conduct on the part of any and every one; and he who attempts to foment popular passions or arouse public prejudice, is an enemy to society. The course of the Chronicle <£■ Sentiwil. in this matter, is most unfair and dishonor able. No one knows better than Rantc Wright that politics had nothing whatever to do with the difficulty, lie knows that if Messrs. Dillon and Evans had been democrats the result would probably have been the same. Yet in his paper, yesterday,' he characterizes tire fracas as one of the “results of Radical misrule,” and styles Messrs. Dillon and Evans as “pets and pimps.” He further declares that they have no authority to “ act ns policemen. What is this but inciting the lawless to resist the Police in the discharge of their i duties? If the Police are not authorized to < act, pray who arc ? The term of the old i Board having expired, at the time of their 1 removal they were exercising their jxjwcrs I by virtue of a military order issued April t 9, 1867, signed by Lieutenant Colonel < Sweeny, then commanding this post, and t were as much a Military Mayor and Board ot j Aidermen as their successors. Besides, the t sovereign people ot Georgia, in Convention g assembled, confirmed alt the appointments t of General Pope, and legalized th'eir act'-, t . Let no citizen be deceived by the lawless g teachings of Hanse Wright. Every officer I must lie sustained in the discharge of his 1; duty ; ami if he exceeds the limit of his e authority, let the law —not the bullet— f punish him. The safety of the city de" r mands this —the life and property of the n people demand it. We warn the people | against the turbulent, counsels of this man j Wright. Without honor, truth or courage, he is ever foremost in promoting strife. In peace the blatherskaite of Toombi cowered < him, and in war a spider sent him to the < surgeon. Whew Iwo drop the moral monster. THE T B’O CANIJ IDA TEtS. Os the two candidates and policies presented for the suffrages of the Ameri can .people, in Noyember, the Republican candidate is known as a citizen, unas suming, animated—as his whole splendid career has shown —by unwavering devo tion to the Union, singularly disinterested, and gifted by nature with one of Ute most valuable faculties a statesman can have, the power of judging correctly of men's character and capacity —so that the ability with, which he picked out of a great crowd of competitors the ablest men for the most responsible places has become proverbial. Nor is this all, or the most. Grant has no “entangling alliances” with profes sional politicians. The self seekers of both parties have from time to time op posed him, and abused him; he is a man of independent and sound judgment; whose whole course hns shown that his heart is in sympathy with the plain people; and bis career has placed bin* in a position which makes him independent of the professional politicians. ' ■ He is, in fact, the People’s candidate. • He loves peace; he insists upon obedience J to law, upon order, upon justice ami equal rights. , Upon the other side we find Mr. Sey . moub, himself a professional politician, the associate of that class of men; and pledged beforehand, by the very circumstances under which he received the nomination, to i reward the men whom he defeated in the Convention. Mr. Seymour has never acted an inde pendent part in politics. He has always 1 been the creature of advisers, and, for the ■ most part, of bad advisers. He does riot i know his own mind; in 1860 Ihe was for 1 “the Southduring the war, he was by 1 turns a lukewarm war man, or a lukewarm [ peace man; a few days ago, he professed to believe that the bonds should be paid , and not taxed, but now he accepts a plat i form which declares that they shall be 1 taxed and not paid. ’ If he is elected President, he will do the k will of mere positive men than himself— i of Pendleton, who, it is reported, will be r his (Secretary of the Treasury; of Blair, r who promises revolution and anarchy in case he is chosen: and in general a class * of politicians whose chief end and desire 8 is to destroy all that has been accomplished 1 in the last seven years—who have been. * since 1861, in the attitude of remonstrance, who have opposed for seven long and • ini- i portant years all that in that time the » people of the United States have done and ordered to I* done. * 1 5 ' > Will Seymour decline ? This question ’ will begin seriously to agitate Democratic 1 circles, if he delays much longer his letter f of acceptance. Seymoub is a man of timid s indecision, and probably can not make up J his mind what it is best to say. The last > blare from Missouri will not aid his deli cate cogitations. TRUE INTERESTS OF THE SOUTH. What the South now needs to restore her to her proper position in the Union, is not a superabundance of political agita tion, but ck>sc application to a line of policy that will develops her vast resources and make her rich and powerful. Too much politics plunged her into the rebel lion. The war has left her poor. Iler true glory now demands that she should eschew demagogues of all classes, creeds, and colors, and tievote her energies to reviving every branch of material indus try, agricultural, mechanical, commercial mineral. Especially should she, in respect to the social condition of her masses, turn her attention to the subject of educating the great body of her people. In this important particular she is far behind the North. The establishment of a common school in one of her rural retreats is of far more consequence to her future well-being than the holding of an enthusiastic politi cal convention, to be addressed ever so eloquently by Admiral Semmes or Senator Sumner, General Hampton or Judge Kelley. The erection of a saw mill to cut her thrifty pine timber into lumber for the market,'or the thorough repair of one of her dilapidated railways, so as to lit it for the safe and swift transit of freight and passengers, would tend much more to exalt her power in the nation than the assent blage of. excited thousands at a dozen cross roads, before whom the merits or demerits of Grant and Seymour should be displayed by a score of stump orators. Some things, doubtless, are not as they should Ire. It may Ire that certain points : in the reconstruction policy of Congress are sharp and (severe. But, by plunging ■ into rebellion arid appealing to the abitrament of the sword, the South re i solved t<> stand the hazard of the die. 1 Most bravely did she play the game. All history scarcely affords a parallel to tire devotion, the courage, the self-sacrifice i with which she maintained the fight 1 through four long and bloody years But 1 a lafgc majority of the American people , determined to maintain the Federal Union at all events and at every cost. The 1 tribunal to which the South appealed > finally decided all the issues against her. She is not only bound to yield to flic i decision, but he is no true friend of hers who tells her she can reverse it. Slavery is destroyed, Secession is invalidated, and their fruits have turned to ashes in her < grasp. Let her repudiate the teachings of those who would make her believe that , the “ Lost Cause” can be retrieved. It is gone, irretrievably and forever gone.— Averting her eyes from the dead past, let her ignore politics as the bane of her existence, turn her face to the glorious future, and, by developing her immense resources, reviving her drooping industry, and educating the masses of her people become a prosperous, intelligent, und powerful section of the Republic. Republican Meeting.—The attention of the Republicans of Richmond county is called to the announcement of a Meeting to be held at the City Hall, Augusta, next Saturday afternoon at two o’clock. A rebel report says that a number of Catholic clergymen, two colored Repre sent.ativea,and a colored Democratic Club participated in the SeymDur ratification meeting in New Oilcans, on Saturday evening. The “nigger” is becoming “white" very rapidly in the eyes of the democracy. ' . ■ -- W The following is the opening sentence of Gen. Frank P. Blair’s speech at a Union meeting in St. Louis, after the fall of Fort Sumter: Mr. Chairman and Gentleman: The rebels who inaugurated this war shall not win by it as much territory as they caa carry off under their finger-nails. Extinct from F. I’. Blair’s letter bidding for the democratic nomination for the Vice Presidency: There is but one way to .restore the Govern ment and the Constitutivn, and that is for the President cleet to declare these (die Rcconstruc tion) Acts null and void, compel the army to undo its usurpation.-', disperse Hie carpet bug Gt.ltc Governments, etc. FRANK 1\ BLAIR.

A rebel delegate from North Carolina. “The State of South Carolina answers her > call, not by her chairman, but by her- best > beloved son, a soldier, who knows belter than I how to interchange the courtesies which belong to enemies ni war and friends in r peace. 1 have the honor to introduce to this ' convention Mr Wade Hampton.” (Loud , ebeers.) —Judge Campbell, oi South Caro- I linn, one of the rebel peace commissioners at Fortress Monroe- ‘ “It is due to that convention which so ■ cordially approved your platform; it is due , to the South, and I, for my State, hiost heartily and cordially second the uumina lien.” —The rebel General Wade Hampton, of South Carolina. “As a rdbel soldier of Alabama, I.take . pleasure in easting her vote for the gallant Union soldier, Frank P.

Virginia, I am instructed to strike bands > with the soldiers of the army of the North, I in the name of Virginia,to accept and ratify. as a token of the perpetuity of this Union, ’ the nomination of Major General Francis , P. Blair, of Missouri.”—The KebeJ General Kemper of Virginia. e “I have the pleasure, sir, to cast the vote I Os Tennessee for General Blair. And 1 hero wish to take this occasion to thank the delegates here for the kind and uniformly courteous treatment that the Southern dcle u gates have received at this Convention.” — t (Great cheering)—The Rebel General N. ’ B. Forrest, of Fort Pillow memory. 1 “Mr. President, I esteem it a great honor, j that I have been requested by th<? chair } man of the lexas delegation and members of that delegation, on this occasion, to cast 1 die six votes of the State of Texas for Major ■ General Fank P. Blair.”—The Rebel Gen eral Ashbel Smith, of Texas. The Geofgia LegislatulW , SENATE. Atlanta, July 27, 1868. Mr. Candler gave notice that he would move to reconsider so inue.h of the Journal of Saturday as relates to tjie resolution introduced by himself as to the right ol colored persons to hold office, and supported his motion at length. On the motion to reconsider, the yeas nnd nays were required, and nre : yeas 18, nays 21. Those voting in the affirmative are : Messrs. Anderson, Burn, Candler, Fain, Graham, Griffin (21st District), Hicks, Hinton, Holcombe, Jordan, McArthur, Mc- Cutchen, Nisbet, Nunnally, Smith (7th District), Welborn, Winn, Wooten. Those voting in the negative arc : Messrs. Bowers, Bradley. Brock, Bruttcn, Campbell, Coleman, Corbitt, Dickey, Griffin (6th District), Harris, Higbee, Hungerford, Jones, McWhorter, Bichardson, Sherman, Smith (36th District), Speer, Stringer, Wallace, Welch. So the motion to reconsider was lost. The Senate took np the message of the House in relation to bringing on the elec tion of United States Senators and State officers. Amended by striking out all but United States Senators. The following bills were introduced and read vhe first time, to-wit: By Mr. McArthur —A bill to repeal an act entitled an act to amend an act entitled an act, so far as it gives laborers on steamboats and water crafts a lien on the same. By Mr. Spear—A bill to incorporate the Nutting Banking Company, of Macon, Ga. A bill to incorporate the Etowah Canal and Water Works Company. By Mr. Brock —A bill to prohibit the sale of spirituous liquors on eleclion days, or drinking the same at election precincts. To prohibit all persons from voting, who have not paid all legal taxes, who have had an opportunity to do so. (Requires the voter to produce his tax receipt before voting.) A bill to set apart a homestead for each head of a family in Georgia. By Mr. Wellborn —A bill to alter and amend section 649 of the revised Code, so far ns relates to persons subject to road duty—(strikes out “fifty years,” and inserts forty-five years.) The Senate took up the House resolution suspending levy and sale until the Legisla ture shall take action on the same. Mr. Speer called for the previous question, which was sustained. The resolution was concurred in. The Senate took up the House resolution requiring the Treasurer to make certain advances, not to exceed the amount paid in 1860 —$9 per day. Mr. Holcombe moved to amend by insert ing $6 per day. Mr. Merrill taoved to amend by inserting not to exceed 75 per cent, ou the amount paid officers and members in 1866. Mr. Holcombe accepted tbo same in lieu of hiS motion. The amendment of Mr. Merrill was adopted, and the resolution as amended was concurred in. HOUSE. Mr. Harper, of Terrell, moved to recon sider tiie resolution adopted on Saturday, suspending levies and sales under execution until this General Assembly shall have taken final action ou the Relief and Home stead measures iu the Constitution.

Mr. O'Neal, of Lowndes—A resolution to bring on the' election of State House officers and State Printer, next Wednesday. Adopted. House adjourned to 10 o’clock a. m., to nioripw. Gex. Grant persistently refuses all in vitations to public receptions, and in this he is right. A few days since the City Councils ol Leavenworth offered him the municipal honors of that city. He writes a letter . declining. Iu this he is right. General Grant means that thepeople shall take him for his known worth, without any demonstrative exhibitions of his per sonal claims, built upon the illusive notion that he will make a good President because he can make a speech filled with glittering generalities. The Democratic papers will doubtless lament that Grant did not accept; but tire people will acknowledge the wisdom and greatness of the man, that he can forego such exliilritions of him self, and remain the same humble and unpretending citizen that he is. A large number of the students of Exeter Aeademy, N. 11., armed with tin pans, horns, torpedoes, and other instrumeuts for making sounds, proaceded to the residence of Prof. Darrah, their teacher of penmanship, on Wednesday night, and began an onslaught on his premises, damaging his residence and grounds to a. considerable extent. The next morning they were fined SSO by the Faculty. Mrs- Elizabeth Cady Stanton, writing of the Woman's Club in New York, says it is proposed to admit gentlemen to the galleries to listen to the speeches, and to hear “ the pale thoughtful brow,” “ the silken mus tache,” “ the flowing locks/ 1 “ the mauly gait and form,” toasted in prose and verse. OUR ATLANTA LETTER. Atlanta, July 26, 1868. To morrow iu the day set uparl by rewlu lion for the election of State officers. A bill has been tntroduped in both Houses consolidating the offices of Secretary of State and Surveyor General. Hence it will surprise some of the ambitious rounders to find that the Empire State of the South, with all of her resources, has discarded the use of the chaiu and compass. Your correspondent would be pleased to convey in advance, through the medium of the press, who the successful aspirants are ; but alas ! this is impossible, for out of such a large number, each one tells me that he is sure to be elected. It is well that nature has gifted man with any degree of hope to carry out certain objects, or else, how often would we sink under accumulated disappointments ; and it is this very inability upon the part of many to resist the tide that sweeps them on, which finally wrecks some of the best intellects of our country. A person entering the political arena, can lint necessarily avoid making many enemies, but I have never known a true, consistent lover of the Union, and who wishes the same may be. perpetual, enlisting all of his sympathies for the success and prosperity of the national welfare, that failed to make friends of former enemies. Hence, we find, even after the fierce struggle of war, and almost ere the fires are smouldering, the people are seeking out Union men (I mean consistent ones) to place them iu charge of the helm. No true lover of our country will cast a ballot for a sworn enemy; therefore, it is easy to conclude that such a revolution in political sentiment will never permit the national safety to be again jeopardized. The Republicans have again hell a caucus and placed in nomination for U. 8. Senators the names of Hon. Jos. E. Brown and Hon. Foster Blodgett. Some of our sable friends, a few in number, had their doubts as to the propriety of supporting the former named gentleman, being an unit, however, on the latter ; but I learn that their prejudices, falsely arrived at, have been overcome, and it will be but a few days ere you will be made acquainted with the news of the election of both the parties named. The prevailing question is asked you everywhere, “what do you think of Brown’s chances 1” But none arc asked as to the latter. Therefore, it seems a fore gone conclusion that Mr. Blodgett is cer. tainly one of the fortunate ones. Several gentlemen have been spoken of in connec tion with the Senatorship, besides those already mentioned. I*would name promi nently Hon. Joshua Hill, lion. J. L. Seward, and Rev. Mr. Landrum. It is the opinion of many that if these gentlemen persist in not yielding to the nominations by caucus, it can not add any prestige to their names, and would result., as it surely will, in their defeat. The Republicans have placed in nomina* tion for Secretary of State Mr. 1). G. Cutting, Comptroller General M. Bell, and Treasurer N. L. Angier. As to the first named gentleman, I presume you are well ac quainted with him ; if not, 1 advise you to make it forthwith, for by this means you can almost be sure of knowing the next Secretary of State. So far as the gentleman offering for Comptroller, my acquaintance is too limited to give you any outline of his history. Mr. Angier is a shrewd financier, pos sessing a tine business capacity, and this combined with good judgment and a wel| balanced mind, will make him a formidable com petitor. I hear that the Democracy have plhcod iu opposition for Secretary of State N. C, Barnett; for Comptroller, Peterson Thwealt, and for Treasurer, John Jones. T'lmthr c m ined are old Slate officers, and their extensive acquaintance and their tact in pulling the wires, may possibly cause the race to be a close one. No stone is left unturned which could give tlicm an advantage, and if industry and perseverance could whip the fight they would gain it. 1 will telegraph you the result. Baldwin.
