FOR VICE PRESIDENT: Schuyler Colfax, OF INDIANA. The present Presidential campaign in volves more momentofts consequences than any previous political contest in tbe history of the eptmtry. The people of Georgia are deeply interested in the result, and will therefore, look forward to the developments of the campaign with increasing interest. The dissemination of reliable news, and of sound constitutional views on the important issues of the day are essential to the success of the Republican party. To supply iu a measure this need, we will mail The National Republican for any four months prior to January I, tSGV, at the low rate of $1.50. ! We appoar to the old supporters of the Republican to aid us in extending its 8 circulation. We pledge ourselves to devote all our energy and ability to the success of a j the great cause in which the Union Repub- I lican Party is embarked; and to spare neither labor nor expense in making The . National Republican a useful and reliable . newspaper. ' Specimen Copies sent free to any address. ATTEMPT JO LEGALIZE EEAUD. r We have already published in The Re i publican the provisions of the bill intro ' duced in the House of Representatives by » * t , Mr. Shumate, of Whitfield, ordering an ‘ election in this city for Mayor and mem ■ bers of Council on the 2d proximo. The . Chronicle <t- Sentinel speaks of these provi , sions as “fair and liberal” and “just and ■ proper.” This bill may possess all these virtues in r the judgments of men who take the part of a disorderly crowd as against the sworn , pcaqc officers of the city; but in the minds ' of all unprejudiced citizens, it is an insidi ous attempt to legislate the Democracy into power. At present we Lave Only lime and spaqe to point out a few of flic evidences of the I monstrous frauds concealed in Shumate's l bill: I. The time designated for the election (the 2d September) is fraudulently short. The bill can not possibly become a law I before the loth. Tbe law as it now exists j allows three montlis. The proposed law ; allows less than fifteen days for registra ' tion. We fail to sec either the justice or r propriety of this reduction of the time for t registration. 11. The term tor whith it is propped to !• elect a Mayor and Council is absurdly 1 short. The idea of electing a city legisla r turc for only six montlis is ridiculous. r When the qnestion is decided hy the people, . it is to be hoped it will lie settled until the regular election in April, 1871. Too fre quent elections are very expensive nnd , corrupting in their influence. No good 1 citizen can possibly desire an election in '* September and another in April next. also, j 111. The amount required by the bill as y a tax on each certificate of registration is » onerous, illegal and unconstitutional. The '• law, as it now stands, requires the payment * of one dollar as the Registry Clerk' s fee, 0 “which shall be in lieu of any poll tax.” a Mr. Shumate's bill requires that each y applicant shall pay a tax of one dollar * before receiving his certificate of registry, j without saying, or moaning, that such sum shall “be iu lieu of any poll tax.” Fur u thermore, the new. Constitution of Georgia i, (now in force) forbids any jail I tax, except a for school purposes, aud then not to exceed ’ one dollar. r IV. The registration oath conflicts with the i Constitution of Georgia, in that it requires • each citiaun applying lor a certificate of registration to swear Unit he Iras been a s citizen of Georgia two years, atnl a resident e of Augusta six months previous to his regis- 1 tration; whereas, the Constitution of the y State only requires six months’ citizenship of a the State to entitle a man to vote for Gov s ernor, Members of the General Assembly, B and other County and State officers. We bold that the General Assembly has not the g power to deprive a citizen, constitutionally t privileged to vote for Governor, from voting , for municipal officers. ' V« The bill compels every voter to present his certificate of registration to the persons r holding the election; otherwise, he is pro t hibited from voting. The object of this is as frauduleut and corrupt as the men 2 who conceived it. There is no provision ’ for the reissue of lost or mislaid ccrtiti ’ tates. Tiie Olject is to buy and steal a I sufficient number of certificates from Re- • publican voters to give the Democracy a 1 majority; but, we are assured, that our j friends in tbe Legislature are not such j idncMpeept as to he caught napping. If - any election should be ordered, tbe affi davit of a voter as to his hating regi? ; f tefed should lie conclusive. This is the 1 law now; its wisdom and justice has been ’ long proved by«practice. , VI. Finally, thi* bill practically dbfran i oAmgi every colored citizen of Augusta. Tbe ’ registration oath requires each person to swear that he is entitled to vote “accord ing to the terms of the Act of the General Assembly of this State,” etc. Now. what colored man can take this oath ? They are not entitled to. vote according to the terms of any Act of the General Assembly but by the provisions of the Constitution. No wonder the Augusta Democracy went to a man rending three hundred miles from the city to- get a father for this Wicked fraud. We have thus hastily pointed out to the readers of The Republican a few of the rotten spots in this smooth-faced bill. We have no doubt the Legislature will prompt ly reject it. At the same time we wish it distinctly understood that there is nothin;; that we more desire than a speedy and fair election. Tub Republican courtsit; tbe city government is anxious for it; the Mayor and Council, conscious of the recti tude of their conduct, and with an abiding faith in the intelligence and patriotism of the people, challenge their enemies to take issue with them before the voters of Au gusta. Nous vermis. 1 THE LATEST CLAIM. The latest claim of the democratic jiarty is put forth by S. 8. Cox. familiarly called ‘Sunset Cox? He claims, ns cardinal virtues of the party, ‘magnanimity and forbearance? We suppose that he means ‘magnanimity’ in allowing a few rebels to precipitate a dozen States into the gulf <3f treason and revolution, without seriously opposing them, even if n permanent rup ture and destruction of the nation was sure to follow. Not alone the defence of their act, that would be theoretical mag nanimity ; but to be democratically mag nanimous, in fact, was to send back to them, under military escort, laborers who built the breastworks for their entrenched armies, and without whose services the rebellion would have come to grief much earlier. If that is the ‘magnanimity’ claimed for the leaders of the party, we concede it. If he means, also, resisting rebellion after the most approved, kid-gloved and draw ing-room style, with plenty ofrdrcss parades and no fighting; with careful defence and no agressions, a la McClellan, then we concede magnanimity. If he means a high official going down into the midst of rioters where orphan asylums arc being sacked and burned, innocent men murdered, and the calling of the fiends ‘my friends,’ and assuring them that they have rights, and that the provocation to these ihurders shall be removed, even if our loyal armies are depleted to such an extent as to make the success of the rebellion without question ; if that is ‘magnanimity,’ after the demo cratic, Seymour pattern, we admit it. If to pardon unrepentant rebels, the leaders, the really guilty men, whose souls arc loaded with the crime of a thousand murders, anil to pardon without evidence of their sorrow, er reformation, but rather with a full knowledge that they were in grained and malicious rebels at the time the official signature was attached, is an evidence of ‘magnanimity,’ then we con cede that also. And so of New Orleans massacres of Union men, in the interest of rebellion and rebels, and the appointment of the perpetrators to office, and so also of the bestowal of government patronage upon rebels and copperheads, who devoted their little all of ability to the support of the lost cause. It is a specimen of ‘magna nimity’ after the democratic model, mean ing and significance, which can only be paralleled by the programme marked out by Frank Blair for the future of the party, to wit: to break down all the free governments ot the late rebel States, re mand the country into a state of anarchy, ami reestablish the rule of tbe few and the enslavement of the many, by the force of the military arm of the nation. ‘Forbearance’! Yes, we have had enough of that particular kind tosatisfy one nation for a century at least. We believe what Sunset Cox nnd the leaders of the demo cratic. party do not believe, that when traitors rebel and attempt to destroy the government, we should fight thetn to defeat as General Grant fought them. We believe tluit no rebel thus defeated, or the friends who supported him nnd his cause, should be placed in positions of honor or profit in the government they sought to destroy, until by thorough repentance and reforma tion they show themselves worthy subjects upon which to bestow a genuine national magnanimity and a true forbearance and Christian charity. That is our platform, and it does not suit rebels, or their aiders and abettors, any better than did the stern ami relentless crowding of the butternut hosts to defeat by the armies of Grant, Siiebman and Sheridan, suit Jefe. Davis, Lek, Beaurßoakb, ami the present South ern democratic adherents and supporters of Seymour and Bi.aih. It is good, loyal doetrine, however, as the democrats will find out in November. THE CAMPAIGN. Mr. I’artou.asks, “Will the coining man drink wine ?” If he’s a good Democrat he’ll prefer whiskey. A St. Louis correspondent predicts that Grant will poll a much larger vote in Missouri than did Lincoln. Why is the Wliite House like a plate glass window ? Because there is no need of opening it to Sey-mour. Gen. N. B. Forrest will not addresß a Seymour and Blair ratification meeting at Fort Pillow. The statement thut he will is untrue. “Grant hne got to work early if he ex pects to get a victory,” quoth a Democrat. “lie ‘Worked’ Early once in the Shenan doah and got one.” quotli u republican. The Ohio State Journal says: “Positively no niOTe puns will be allowed in this paper on the name of Seymour. We are not in a condition to see more of them. Any one quoting : ‘There are more things in heaven aud earth, Horatio,’ shall be dealt with in a miscellaneous manner. Any one iuquiriug who thhrC. Moore is shall be subjected to a Ilorntion by our English contributor. Any one inquiring where tbe Democracy struck this seam ore, shall be smelted. We don’t wish to eeem o'er fastidious in this matter, but contributors are warned to desist.” The following is the record of Frank Blair's collegiate experience: We observe that the Northern papers e’aim that General Blair, the Democratic nominee lor-the Vice Presidency, isagradu ate of Princeton, New Jersey. This is an error; General Francis P. Blair is a graduate of the University of North Carol inn. ’ [North Carolina Sentinel. Brother Pell is in error, us well as the Northern papers. Francis P. Blair, Jr., the Democratic candidate for tbe Vice Presi dency, was expelled from both Yale and Princeton. He afterward entered the Uni versity of North Carolina, and left before graduating, to avoid being expelled. For information, Brother Pell is respectfully referred to Governor Swain, the President of the University.— North Carolina Standard. 1 GRANT AND COLFAX. Hang out the great illustrious names Os noble men and noble deed, Who ne’er their country’s trust betrayed, Or faltered inAor hour of need. Lot all the people from afar Behold the nation come at loagth, From base intrigue and bloody war, To heights of grand and stable strength. Now sweeps the darkness from the sky, And looking o’er long years of pain, With tense of danger over nigh, From men el lust greed and gain Wo see the rainbow arch of peace Stretch o’er the land from shore to shore, A promise of our glad release, A pledge that traitors rule no mure. THE HOPE OF 11 THE LOST CA UHE." Robert Toombs, one of the most fiery of secessionists, chafing with baffled hate of tbe Union, denounces “Radicalism” as “the greatest criminal the work! ever sawand declares shat the “mea of the South should fly to the arms of Northern allies to assist in crushing the viper out of existence.” In 1861 the viper that Toombs nnd his fellow- Deiuocrats wished to crush out of existence was the Union army, lie-is a mighty de fender of the Constitution, is Toombs. Also, he is a shining Conservative. What a con stitutional and conservative millenium we should have if only Toombs were back in the Senate and Howell Cobb in the Treasury Department 1 For Howell Cobb, also, has been “sear ing’’ General Grant and the Republican platform “with the fires of his indignation.” If we remember correctly, although a Gen eral during the war, Mr. Howell Cobb did not take occasion to sear General Grant with any other kind of fire. Mr. Cobb—one of the original rebel conspirators in the Cabinet of Buchanan, who did what he could to ruin the credit of tbe country, and then rati to try to destroy it—is now of opinion that “the election of General Grant upon such a set of principles would be the greatest calamity thtrtconid possibly bcfallthe whole country.” But the election of Seymour and Blair upon a platform of repudiating the debt and of trampling reconstruction “into the dust,” would be the most constitutional and con servative of boons. Henry S. Foote, also —familiarly known as Hangman Foote, from having told Sena tor Hale that he would be hung if he came to Foote’s State—has been “painfully ap prehensive that” Mr. Seymour “did not entirely concur with Mr. Pendleton and his political friends upon the great financial question now pending.” But inasmuch as Mr. Seymour was brought forward by “Mr. Pendleton’s best friends, and urgetj to keep the ’field as a candidate by the noble-mind ed and much calumniated Vallandgham,” why, Mr. Henry S. Foote regards the nom ination as “one of the most fortunate results which could possibly have occurred." The Richmond Enquirer thinks that the letter of Gen. Blair has “the ring of the true metal, and is the most fearlest exposi tion of Democratic and Conservative prin ciples which we have yet seen.” The Petersburg Express thinks that Blair's views “are perhaps more satisfactory to the South, and more consistent with tbe views that have always obtained among our most judicious statesmen, than those which the crisis has called forth from any other leading mind in the country. He is a bold, fearless soldier—one who dares assert the truth, and no/ over punctilious as to the means which he adopts to secure its vindica tion.” This is the old story. When the Demo crate, during the war, nominated McClel lan and Pendleton, the rebel leaders were painfully anxious for a Democratic success. They knew it would serve their cause. Those leaders are now equally anxious for the election of .Seymour and Blair. It is for the same purpose. They know it will serve their purposes. But does anybody believe that the pur poses of Toombs, of Cobb, of Semmes, of Wade Hampton, of the rebel newspapers, arc those of patriotic men? “I believe,” said Wade Hampton, at Gen. LeC's College, on his way to the Democratic Convention at New York —“I believe the cause for which Stonewall Jackson fell will yet triumph.” t He hopes and works for a Donjooratic success, and all the conspicu ous, unchanged rebels work and hope for the same result, because they know that nothing but “the election of Seymour aud Blair can revive tbe lost cause,” and give it the triumph in which they yet believe.— H'lrpeds Weekly. A LIE NAILED. -1 "Heuiford limes Story.”-—Gen. Grant's Brother. 1 We find the following in the Hartford [ Post of the Ist instant: I On the 24th of Joly the Hartford Times published the following editorial article: Gb.n. dinsr’s Brother.—Nothing is said in the Kndical ring about Gen. Grant’s brother, Orville tyrant, Kskpj a prosperous and respected merchant of Chicago. Why not? Why did the brothers not see i aeh other when the General stopped in Chicago ? We understand that Orville Grant ictuses to vote for his brother, considering him unlit by his ehiirnette and habits, to occupy the I’r. siilential chair ; and that be lately pre sented to a Chicago Church of which he is a member the Sum of SSOO, and to the Chicago r'emociatic Club the sum of SI,OOO. Aclergy man wluisujgited to him that it would have been better to reverse these gifts, was informed by Mr. Grant, in reply, that upon careful con rideratioa of the state of the country end the cheractehof the two candidates, he rathe? thought ho ought to have doubled the present tot the Democratic Club. ' The statement is w>‘ miante'dn its details, the story narrated with so much circum stantiality, the figures stated with so much exactness, aud the conversation with the clergyman so fully eet forth, that one would scarcely suspect it of lieinjr “a lie out of whole cloth." Orville L. Grant is, as the Times says,, “a prosperous and respected merchant of Chicago." And that any one should manufacture such tt ‘yarn" about him, knowing that it could not help being stamped as a falsehood as soon as it reached Chicago—was so absurd' a supposition that it helped to give credibility to the story. That the Tinies should resort to such methods of electioneering is not strange— but Unit it should tell so foolish a lie, and one so easily exposed, is wonderful. It can not be accounted for, except upon the theory that the Times meant to take advan tage of the fact that “a lie travels a league while the truth is putting on its boots." This, story has gone already all over the country, and to a great many places where it can net be contradicted. Ti e whole story is false in every word, syllable and letter, from beginning to end. A gentleman ot this city, with whom Orville L. Grant has business relations, wrote hitn immediately on the publication of the above quoted paragraph in the Times, asking if it were true. Mr. Grunt responds that it is entirely false, and adds : I hoi sound as a out on Grant and Colfax—am string in tbo Republican faith, always have been, and hope to be, and have no idea how any person could get an impression.)o the contrary. If you bear any one say that O. 1,. Grant will vote the Democratic ticket, yon can use tnv name in con rradietingit. This comes to Hartford over the signature of Orville L. Grant, and stamps the Times story as a falsehood. Will the Times with draw, qualify, retract, or undertake to explain its course ? The story lias been widely copied and circulated in Democratic papers, not one in ten of which will ever ■publish the truth about it. But we call irppu the Times to inform iU tuader* where, how, and for what purpose this lie was manufactured. . The Georgia Legislature* Atlanta, Ga., August 7, 1868. SENATE. The following message from the Governor whs received: EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ) Atlanta, Ga., August 7, 1868. J To The .Senate—The resolution of the Senate calling for all the papers and evidence pertaining to the contested seats of Senators, adopted July 25th, 1?68, did not reach this office until the morning of the 3d inst. After a careful examination of the documents on file in this office, I find that all the papers then in my possession on this subject were for warded to the Senate on the 17th ult. I here with transmit the only paper referring to Sena tors that has since been received, being a protest from a citizen of Cass county, in the 12th Sena torial District, against the right of Mr. John T. Burns to act as Senator, on tho ground that he had in his possession property belonging to the State unaccounted for. Kurus B. Bullock, Governor. Mr. Burns moved that a Special Com mittee be appointed to inquire into his eligi bility. The President said he believed steps had already been taken in that direction. Mr. Holcombe asked for leave of absence on account of sickness in his family, every member of which was down sick. After the transaction of some further trivial business, the Senate, on motion of Mr. Holcombe, adjourned. house. Mr. Scott, of Floyd, rose to a question of privilege, and stated that the House had kindly granted him a leave of absence for two days. That, by an unfortunate detention of the Georgia train, he had been detained at'Unioti Point for eleven hours, and conse quently arrived an hour too late to take part in the election of State officers. That had the train arrived on schedule time, he would have been here several hours before the election took place. That such a long de tention on the Georgia Road, he presumed, did not occur once in twelve mouths. He regretted his absence, but could not prevent the accident to the train. He regretted another thing, and that was, that one of the papers of this city should have thought proper to make an unkind, reckless, and he thought, unmanly attack upon him and seven other Democrats who were absent, charging them with treachery and infidelity to the Demo cratic party, without taking the trouble to investigate the cause of their absence. That the author of the article in question knew, before his paper went to press, the cause of his (Scott’s) detention, and the anxiety and impatience he had manifested to get here, and the mortification lie felt in being de tained. He knew, also, that others who had been denounced as treacherous and ‘'so called” Democrats, had good excuses for their absence. That in devotion and fidelity to Democratic principles and to duty he would not acknowledge the superiority even of the editor referred to. That the article in question was calculated to produce an erroneous and unjust impres sion upon the public mind, in conveying the idea that eight Democrats only were absent; that every other member of the House was present, and that the odium of the defeat of the Democratic nominees is attributable to the absence of the eight mentioned. The fact is, 23 were absent, viz : 13 Democrats and 10 Republicans, and had every absentee been present and voted it would not have changed the result in a single case. The vote fcr State Printer was the most closely contested election. How did that stand ? Bard received 99 votes, Burke 93, Bryant 1, Reid 1. Add to Mr. Burke’s vote the two scattering, and the vote would have.stood 95 to 99. So had the absentees been present and voted as they usually have done, it would not have changed the result even in the case of Printer. Mr. Ford’s colleague explained that the child of that gentleman was and is still ex tremely ill, and hence his absence yesterday. Mr- Turnipseed—A bill to change the line between the counties of Clay and Cal houn. Mr. Gober —A bill to change election pre cincts in Cobb county. Mr. Turner —A bill to extend certain priv ileges of John G. Park. Mr. Fowler—A bill to compel plaintiffs in fi.J'as. to pay for advertising, and for other purposes. The Committee on Agriculture and In ternal Improvements made a report adversely to a bill to incorporate the Georgia Mutual Life Insurance Company. The same reported a bill defining the liabilities of Life Insurance Companies in this State. Mr. Turner moved that 200 copies of the bill just road be printed for the use of the House. Carried. Mr. Talliaferro—A bill for the relief of James 1. Miller, Receiver of Tax Returns of Fulton county for 1864. Mr. Brassell—A bill to repeal an act en titled an act to prohibit the sale of spirituous liquors in the town of Fayetteville. Mr. Ballenger—A bill to change the line between Floyd and Gordon counties, Mr. Madison—A bill to prohibit unlawful living and cohabiting together. Mr. Seale —A bill to regulate the bond of county officers of Georgia. Mr. Seale—A bill to change the 1456th section of the Code, so as to reduce the height of fences to four feet Mr, Tweedy —-A bill to authorize muni cipal authorities to define the privileges of pawnbrokers. Mr. Tomlin—A bill to relieve the people cf this State from taxation for four years. Messrs. Price, Caldwell, Darnel, Carson, and Beard, were granted leave of absence. Mr. Kilis—A bill to relieve physicians and freedmen. Mr. Welcher introduced a memorial from citizens of Talbot county, stating on oath, that John 8. Costin, colored, now represent ing that county is not a resident of the same. Referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. Mr. Welcher—A bill to regulate the amount of official bonds of Wilkes county officers. Mr. Harper—A bill to require Judges Os -Supreme Court to hold four terms each year. Also, a bill to organize six additional judicial circuits in this State. Mr. Rosser—A bill forbidding the inter marriage of white and colored persons in this State. A resolution requiring the Governor to •order elections in the unrepresented counties of Telfair and Irwin, which had been re ferred to the Judiciary Committee, was re ported upon favorably. Mr. Turner thought that it would be im possible to get a fair expression of the peo ple of Irwin at this tune. He would like to see the bill divided. He was not prepared to vote for ro much of it as applied to Irwin county. The resolution was adopted and trans mitted forthwith to the Senate. Mr. Williams, of Morgan—A bill to pro vide for the collection of debts iu certain cases. Mr. Tumlin—A resolution that all an nouncements made from the Clerk’s desk relative to the meeting of committees, be read Wore adjournment Carried. BILLS OX THIRD KEAIHX'G.
