AT THE REQUEST OF MEMBERS
of the Centra! Committee, I hereby call a
State Convention of the Republican party of
Georgia, to assemble in ATLANTA, on Tuesday,
the 1 Sth day of August next, for the purpose
of nominating Electors for Grant and Colfax.
The bails of representation will be the same as
in the lower house of the General Asseftbly.
Republicans are requested to hold meetings in
their respective Congressional Districts, and
nominate candidates for Congress.

RALLY! RALLY! !
Let Republicans everywhere remember
that, in addition to the State Republican
Convention, to be held in Atlanta on the
18th instant, there will be a grand Mass
Meeting of the Republicans of Georgia.
In every county, from the mountains to the
gulf, delegations are getting ready to go.
Let all go. There is room for every pne.
The Gate City is open to all. It will be
made such a rallying time as has not been
known in Georgia for years. Eminent
speakers will be there from abroad to
address the meeting. In addition to the,
other ceremonies, a flag will be presented
to the Club that produces the largest num
ber of members. Which will be the
“Banner” Club ? Let there be one tremen
dous rally and blazing demonstration for
Grant and Colfax as the .representatives
of National Republicanism.
UNFAIR..
The National Republican (Radical), pub
lished at Augusta, copied a part of our
account of the murder near Davisboro,
contained in last week’s Georgian, and
adds some ill natured remarks on the
morality of the Democratic county of
Washington. Had the Republican copied
our article entire, his readers would have
been spared the infliction of the homily ho
reads to the people of Democratic Wash
ington county. But :w* the Radical heart
needs to I>e fired just at this time, an ac
count of a real or imaginary murder or a
riot is a God-send to that paper, and the
most that can bo made of it is made,
whether it comports of truth or not.
Our account is published as we received
it from the lips of a freedman, and from a
juror after the inquest had been held.
I Sa»<7ewiWe Geon/ian.
We transferred to our columns the facts
given in the Georgian , of one of the most
diabolical, wilful and unprovoked mur
ders of an innocent freedman in Washing
ton county, we had ever heard of; al
the verdict of what was supposed or snid
to be a coroner's jury—adding thereto
simply our protest against such shameful,
disgraceful and atrocious murders, as well
as corrupt findings of juries. We did not
give the Georgian's condemnation of this
foul murder, or rather assassination —we
preferred our own. If we omitted a single
fact stated in the Georgian, wc will publish
it if our cotemporary will point it out to
us. The comments of the Georgian, in the
great kindness of his heart for his fellow
citizens, we considered qt the time too
moderate to do his sense of justice credit;
hence we gave to the public our own
comments, charitably omitting tlie Gear
gian's. Yet if we are to understand, by
his article of this week, that he now says
the murder was “imaginary,” and the
. facts stated by him, “from the lipsofa
freedman, and from a juror,” do not com
port with truth, we perhaps were too
charitable in our conclusions—and ask
pardon. ,
We now ask if the Georgian admits his
credulity in being imposed upon by a
simple freedman and a juror of the cor-'
oner's inquest? Or, was a man really
assassinated in a public road in Washing
ton county, at noon-clay, near Davisboro, in
a thickly settled portion of the county, and
the assassin allowed to escape witliouteven
pursuit ? If the democratic party can lie
sustained by such foul murders of innocent
freedmen, we are greatly mistaken in the
morals of the Southern people ; or even if
it will subserve the ends of ‘party’ to con
ceal such offenders, we are greatly mis
taken, Hence, as a public journalist we
felt called upon to .give notice to the public
of the foul means employed tp rid °f
freedmen, and to caution law.abiding
citizens to punish the offenders, that retalia
tion might not be resorted to. Wil! the
Georgian publish our article < It seems
not. Who then, wc ask, is “unfair”? We
shall continue to condemn lawlessness
assassinations and murders -of freedmen,
even—at the risk of offending all the
democratic journals, when wc can obtain
the facts from so reliable a source as in the
foul and atrocious murder alluded to.
As to the comments of the. “carpet-bag’’
editor of the Savannah Republican, we will
only say to him: whenever he elevate
himself to decent controversy, such as
sliould characterize honorable gentlemen
of the quill, we may then pay our respects
to him. Until then we,can only say,
filthy, foul-mouth creature, go on—your
ravings can do us no hurt. •
, _
After the nomination.of Seymour and
Blair was ina<le, the Democratic party in
Louisiana began a thorough organization,
and they now boast that they will carry
the State for Seymour if they have to kill
every “nigger” on its soil in doing so.
The Seymour Knights and Blair Guards
having been organized, drill as regularly
as if . they were military. They are dis
posed in various regiments and compa
nies which they furnished to swell the
rebel army in war times.
THE DIFFERENCE.
General Grant says in his letter of
acceptance, “let us have peace.” Frank
Blair says in his bid for the Presidency,
that the coming President must reverse the
action of a Radical Congress by the strong
arm of the military power.
General Grant represents the law and
order party, and favors the oppression of
rebellions. Governor Seymour addresses
Irish mobs as his friends and colaborers,
saying nothing about the issues as set forth
in the iwo party platforms. The standard
bearers are representatives of ideas as
antagonistical as any to be found In thq
platform. Grant and Colfax are for peace,
liberty and prosperity. Seymoub and Blair
are for repudiation, revolution and general
derangement.
REVOLUTION AGAIN DECAHED.
The following extract from the message
of the President, vetoing the Electoral
College bill, furnishes additional evidence
of the fixed purpose of the rebel Democracy
to enter ripon another revolution. Frank
Blaib, their candidate for the Vice Pros!,
dency, has boldly declared the purpose of
the party to overturn the reorganized gov
ernments by armed force if needs be. Mr,
Johnson has improved upon the Blair
plan by declaring for revolution in order to
insure the success of the party—Blair
would wait for success, Johnson proposes
to seize it. Rut here is what he says :
“It is worthy of remark that if the States
whose inhabitants were recently in rebel
lion were legally find constitutionally
organized'and restored to their rights prior
to the 4th of March, 1887, as I am satisfied
they were, the only legitimate authority
under whiclrtlie election for President and
Vico President can be held therein must
be derived from the governments instituted
before that period. It clearly follows that
all the State governments organized in
those States under act of Congress for that
purpose, and under military control, are
illegitimate and of no validity whatever;
and, in that view, the votes cast in those
States for President and Vico President, in
pursuance of acts passed since the 4th of
March, 186", and in obedience to the so
called reconstruction acts of Congress can
not be legally received and counted ; while
the only votes in those States that cun be
legally cast and counted will bo those east
in pursuance of the laws in force in the
several States prior to the legislation by
Congress upon the sulyect of reconstruc
tion.” .
HON. THAD. STEVENS.

Death of the Hon. Thad. Stevens.—
The death of this great commoner was the
all-absorbing topic ol conversation ou our
streets yesterday. Many light and unbe
coming remarks, more damaging to those
who made them than to the deteased, were
indulged in by a few. Whatever may be said
of Mr. Stevens, now that he is dead, let us
not brinst reproach upon ourselves by untie
coming slang and Sacrilegious remarks over
his coquie. That he was alone responsible
for the present anomalous position of the
country, -is also true. If wc can say no good
of him, decency demands that we nt least
maintain our self-respect, by abstaining from
coarse ami unnecessary allusions to his
memory.'— Macon Telegraph.
■ ■— ♦ ■ ■ ;-**
One man like Semmes, blowing around
on the anxiety of Southern rebels for
another outbreak, may excite disgust; but
when dozens of leading rebels in
different parts of the South are doing the
same thing, while a candidate for Vice
President, their leader, surpasses them all
in violent and revolutionary language,
something beside disgust would seem to
be in order. ’ *
■■■ ■ ■ “J"
Tub Blur Party is making good pro
gress. At the Democratic State Convention
of Kansas, a rebel and Union flag hung
side by side. Jf snch a misfortune should
ever befall the country as the election of
Seymour and Blair, the stars and stripes
would disappear and the rebel flag remain
the one conspicuous object.
Always, prior to the rebellion, Presiden
tial electors in South Carolina. were chosen
by the Legislature. Great complaint is
now made because, in some of the recon
structed States, the same method is proposed
for the coming election. It is not a good
method, in our judgment, in quiet times,
but in the present condition of affairs it is
likely to prevent bloodshed ami general
disturbance.
Hon. B. 11. Hill (not Joshua), of Geor
gia, wants to be the man to set fire to the
great heap of ‘journals and constitutions
and enactments of conventions forced upon
us by fraud and usurpation’’ that shall be
gathered when the Democratic ticket is
elected. Rather incendiary is Hill.
Jurihu Aldrich, of Augusta, who had
the honor of a Democratic reception in
Charleston, a few jjnys ago, said : “This is
a grand contest in which we are engaged—
a contest for constitutional liberty, and it
was the contest in which we have been
engaged since 1861.”
z Let it be remembered that Frank P.
Blair, the Democratic candidate for Vice
President, is*thc author of the following
atrocious sentence: “And now I say that
unless the negroes 'submit to the intelli
gent guidance of the powerful white race
their fate will lx? that of the Indians ; they
will Im? exterminated.”
The Democratic Newspapers are
exceedingly jubilant over their great
victory in Kentucky. It is true it is a
marvelous victory, but then everybody
expected it. Who had the least idea that
the “Confederate X Roads, which is in the
Stait uv Kentucky,” would de differently ?
In a recent speech to a so-called Demo
cratic meeting at Atlanta, the Hon. Howell
Cobb, a paroled prisoner of war, said of
General Grant that it was his usage to
“travel over the battle field and thrust his
sword into each dead bqdy.” Probably Mr.
Cobb was not aware that Gen. Grant
not in the habit of wearing a sword at all
when he went into battle. * *

, WIIA r A WESTERN SOLDIER SA VS
OF GRANT.
A correspondent of the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican says:
1 enjoyed the pleasure of a long conver
sation with a gentleman who was with
General Grant from the time of his
, entering the service in the late war till he
, was ordered East to take command as
lieutenant General. My informant was a
! member of the 11th Illinois, which came
r under General Grant’s command late in
the fall of 1861. But long before that the
General, then brigadier, was a familiar
■ personage to the Eleventh, for its colonel,
1 W. 11. L. Wallace, who fell at Shiloh, had
• been a close friend of Grant’s in Mexico,
and the intimacy was still maintained. The
Eleventh was stationed at Bird’s Point,
Missouri, while Grant held command at
Cairo, directly opposite. When the Eleventh,
: which had been operating under Oglesby,
, was attached to Grant’s command, that
that officer was about as unpopular as he
well could be. The troops were new to
the actualities of war, and the slaughter at
Belmont made a deep impression on them ;
they believed that Grant fought that battle
entirely on his own judgment, and they
were unable to see that any advantage had
been derived from it. Soon after the Fort
Henry expedition was planned in perfect
secrecy; its success turned the tide
of opinion iu Grant’s favor, and when, three
months later, Donelson surrendered, my
informant says there was not a soldier in the
army who-had not perfect confidence in its
leader. Shiloh, which followed a few weeks
later, my friend knows nothing of personally,
as the presence of six bullets in his body,
souvenirs of Donelson, temporarily checked
his military career. Some weeks later he
rejoined his regiment, and was assigned to
duty in the office of the Adjutant General
John A. Rawlins. Here, for several months,
he saw Grant daily. “But,” said he, “a
mau might see him every day for yeais, and
still know very little about hitn. It was the
feeling among the troops that they did not
know Grant —could not get acquainted with
him—but their faith in him was unqualified,
notwithstanding.”
I asked my informant if he ever saw any
indication of intemperance in the General.
He replied that be never saw him drink, and
never saw hiin when he seemed to have been
drinking. “I asked Beckwith,” said he,
“who was telegraph operator at Grant’s head
quarters from the time he was made briga
i dier till the close qf the war, about this,’who
said he had seen him almost every day for
four years, and never saw on him the slight
est sign of intemperance.” Rawlins, mj
. friend, pronounces him the ablest executive
, officer in the service; he used frequently to
. dictate dispatches to six clerks at once, thus
beating Napoleon, whose limit, I believe,
, was five.
. I can not give you an idea of the earnest
[ ness with which my friend expressed his
j confidence ia Grant as an officer and a
mau— a faith which, he averred, was shared
. by almost every man who served under the
, General. He could tell me nothing new or
, striking about the latter—remarking that he
I was a man so self-contained and independent
t that there was little about him to tell; his
, deeds speek for him. But I thought the
testinrony ol a New England boy who served
four years in <jne of the famous Western
regiments, celebrating his twenty-first birth
] day iu a hospital, with six rebel bullets for
f company, and who,worked his way up from
private to captain and Assistant Adjutant
General, might possess some interest for your
i readers.
