AT THE REQUEST OF MEMBERS '
of the Central Committee, I hereby call a
State Convention of the Republican party of
Georgia, to assemble in ATLANTA, on Tueeday, 1
the 18th day of August next, for the purpose :
of nominating Electors for Grant and Colfax.
The basis of representation will be the Mime Ist
in the lower house of the General Assembly.
Republicans are requested to hold meetings in
their respective Congressional Districts, and
nominate candidates fer Congress.

RALLY! RALLY!!
Let Republicans everywhere remenilxtr
that, in addition to the State Republican
Convention, to be held in Atlanta on the
18th instant, there will J» a grand Mass
Meeting of the Republicans of Georgia.
In every county, from the mountains to the
gulf, delegations arc getting ready to go.
Let all go. There is room for every one.
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, u flag will be presented
to the Club that produces the largest num
ber of members. Which will be the
“Banner” Club 1 Let there be one tremen
dous rally and blazing demonstration for
Gbakt and Colfax as the representatives
of National Republicanism.
GOVERNOR BULLOCK.
No man ever called to the gubernatorial
chair of Georgia has been the recipient of
such gross and uncalled-for abuse, at the
hands of partisan editors, as the present
worthy incumbent. We presume, how
ever, Governor Bullock will survive these
scurrlllous attacks. Wc knowtb lie will.
Let him continue in the good work he
has inaugurated. ■ ‘The num recovered of

DISGRUNTLED.
‘My Maryland’ ot the Constttutibnalist is
sorely disgruntled, because, in the lan
guage of its polite Atlanta correspondent,
‘Tweedy presented a memorial.’ The
memorial, an important one, was appro
priately referred to the Committee on Edu
cation —and will be heard from in due thne.
The poetical editor over the way has
thought proper, on several occasions, to
attempt tbe task of ridiculing Mr. Tweedy,
our efficient representative—who Iras filled
his place creditably to himself ami to the
entire satisfaction of his constituents. He
deserves special praise for his prompt
action, in introducing the resolution sus
pending levies and sales under execution
until the present Legislature shall take final I
action upon the Relief pleasures, and the
‘homestead’ clause was introduced by him
self. The facetious editor of the. CoMtitn

gia. The editor of the Banner need
not have taken so much trouble to exhibit
his inability to understand the Constitu
tion and laws of his country and State.
The Constitution of Georgia peruiit.s every
person over twenty one years of age, aok a
convicted traitor, an idiot, or insane, to
exercise the privileges of the ballot Lox.
To illustrate : Such stupid persons as tbe
editor of the Banner, and unconvifited
traitors as Bob Toombs, can vote pnde r
our beneficent Constitution. The Ban'
«er attempts to show that, because the
Constitution of Georgia says that the
Constitution and laws of the United States
ate the supreme law of the laud, that.,
therefore, all persons disqualified from
voting under the Reconstruction laws of
Congress are disfranchised by our State
Constitution. No such thing. Does not
the editor know that our Constitution has
already been examined by Congress, and
all but a portion of the relief measures,
Iteen approved by that laxly ? Whether
he knows it or not, such is the fact. J

“The Radicals say that the Democratic

This is a frank acknowledgment. Os
course, the democracy desires the colored
vote: the Republicans arc equally anxious
for it. Then each party stands on an equal
footing, and one is no more a negro party
than the other. The cry of “Nigger!
Nigger I” is all both, amt the above extract

of the fact. - > *, ■ • t

the fact that one of the witnesses against
young Cody, recently tried and acquitted
on the charge of killing a United States
soldier, “wat sliot a lew nights sinoe, and
now lies dangerously wounded,” by “par
ties unknown, commonly culled K. K. K.”
This is nt once an acknowledgment of the
existence if au organized band of lawless
men, and an indorsement of their attempt
nt assassination. Now, we undertake to
say that, if this witness against Mr. Codt
was guilty of perjury, he could have been
indicted, arrested, tried, convicted and
punished. This disjxjsition was the proper
and only one to be made of him. lleuce,
those who engaged in the shooting are just
as much violators of the lazv, and as groat
enemies of society, as their victim, admit
ting that he is guilty of perjury. For the
honor of journalism, which should be the
conservator of peace, wc deplore the lan
guage and sentiments of the Clipper. The
little craft should not sail in snch muddy
nnd bloody waters. If it should continue
to do so, it will ultimately meet the fate
of those enemies of law ami society, the
K. K. K’s. Ijct all Christian men, of what
ever denomination, and all good citizens,
of whatever political faith, promptly re
buke such conduct as this at Warrenton.
This is a Christian and a public duty. It
is necessary for the safety of the lives and
property of the people. t
THE TERMS OF SURRENDER.
In view of the tcFrible threats of revolu
tion which the Southern democrats are
constantly uttering, it injy not be inap
propriate to examine the terms on which
the South surrendered its arms to General
Grant:
Afpcmattox Covuthouse, April 9, 1865.
lien urn I R. E. Lee, Comtnandinfi C.S.A.:
In aceorrtance with the substance of my letter
te you of the Bth instant, I propose to receive
the surrendor of the Army of Northern Virginia
on the following terms, to-wit:
Rolls of all the officers and men to be made in
duplicate, oho copy to be given to an officer to
be designated by me, the other to be retained by
such officer as you may designate.
The officers to give their individual parole not
to take up arms agninst the United States until
properly exchanged, and.eoe.li company or regi
mental commander to sign a like parole for the
men of their commands.
The arnra, artillery and public property to be
parked and stacked, and turned over to the
officers appointed by me to receive them. This
will net embrace the tide-arms of the officers
nor their private horses and baggage
This done, each officer and nun will be allowed
to return to their homes, not to be disturbed by
the United States authority so tong as they
observe their parole and the laws in force where
they may reside.
Veyy respectfully,
• U. 8. Grant,
Lieutenant General.'
To these terms General Lite, commander
in-chief of the Confederate armies, replied
as follows:
H’nq’ns Army Northern Virginia, )
April 9, 1865. j
Lieutenant General U. S. Grant, Commtndi»y
United States Army:
General—i have received yottr letter of this
date, containing the terms of surrender of the
Army of Northern Virginia, as proposed by you.
As they are substantially the same as tb xse
expressed in your tetter of the Sth instant, they
are accepted. I will proceed to designate the
proper officers to carry the stipulation into
effect. x x.
Very fespectfully, your obedient servant,
it. E. Lux, General.
It will be seen by this that ofticcre and
men are “not to take up arms against the
United States,” anti tkat they are to “Ob
serve their parole and the Taws in fdrte
where they may reside.’ 1 About the time
of the surrender the rebels did not assume
to dictate the terms,, and were willing to
promise olxxlicnee. They hail learned by'
I severe expctience that the support of their
Northern “friends” availed them nothing.
But now a faction of the ex-rebel army,
inspired by the Northern democracy, arc
not only willing, hut anxious to violate
(heir parole. It is nsignificant fact, how
ever, that General Lee, their old com
, mander, does not volunteer to lead them.
They will learn, in the etwl, that they hftd
1 betfer adhere to the terms of surrender
and tntet to the generosity of General
1 Grant, than to break their parole of honor
. and depend for support up®n Northern
politicians who. Rover did anything for
them but betray them.

overrun the country, and their occupation
will be gone, and lands wilt be so high that

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. August 12, 18G8.
Death of Hon. Thad. StcceM— U'A'U file I'eitcnce
of a Republican »n the Cabinet has Effected —
The Hoiriprd Utefanrsity—The Cattle Ptar/nc —
An Octogenarian—lmmigration—The Presiden
tial Campaign.
Thaddeus Stevens, of Pensylvania, died
at bis residence, in' thia city at about 12
o’oloek hist night. This event, though long
anticipated, has neverthelss cast a gloom
over the whole city, for he had no personal
enemies. His most bitter political oppo.-
nents gave him the credit of benevolence,
large magnamity and a singular honesty of
purpose. He told me only a few days since
that the only desire to have his life pro
longed, was to see the work of reconstruc
tion completed and the South once more
prosperous sud happy. He had no personal
animosities to gratify, and was guarded in
his political action by the teachings of
Christ- Out of respect to his memory,
flags were raised to half mast during the
day, and his demise was every where the
absorbing topic of conversation. Up to
last Sunday, his physician as well as him
self, believed that he would be able at an
early period to visit Laneaster; but on that
day ho was prostrated by the bowel com
plaint, which has been so fatal in Washing
ton the present season, when all hope of his
ever rising from bed again was abandoned.
His remains will be removed to Lancaster
for interment, attended by a delegation of
Congressmen, personal friends and admirers
of the deceased.
The presence of Attorney General Evarts
(a Republican) in the Cabinet seems to
have a mollifying influence upon the Presi
dent. Since Mr. Evarts’ advent, the
President has behaved with wonderful
circumspection. He had a desire to override
the laws again, and appoint a Commissioner
of Internal Revenue ad interim —nolens
nolens. The Attorrfby General advised him
to wait, until Congress reassembled, and be
has for once acted upon good advice. ''He
wanted to appoint several officers for Alaska,
but, following the advice of his legal
counsellor, be has decided to wait. He
evidently desired to dodge tbe demand of
the Governor of Louisiana for the assistance
of United States troops; but, upon second
thought, he has not only substantially
granted what was requested, but, more than
this, he has admitted the binding obliga
tion imposed by the reconstruction measures
of Congress. I should not be surprised if,
in November, he voted for Grant and Colfax.
He is certainly on a tack now which will
inevitably lead him to that result. As a
rule, his appointments of late have been
Republicans; no copperhead, no anti-war
Democrat has a show with him to day, for
any favor; indeed, Mr. Johnson has, on two
occasions lately, contributed something to
aid in elevating the freedmen. Let us hope
for tbe best. The President may yet do
something towards redeeming himself.
The Howard University building is nearly
completed. It is a beautiful structure, occu
pying a commanding eminence at the north
of the city. The peculiarity of the institu
tion is, that students will be admitted with
out regard to race or color. A preparatory
departjneut, including a normal school, has
been in operation for nearly a year, and one
hundred eolored men are prepared to enter
upon a collegiate course in the fair when the
college is to be opened. The college build
ings unci grounds (50 acres) are unencum
bered, but the trustees are now asking aid to
establish Professorships and Scholarships.
The threatened approach of the cattle
plague from the Southwest bos created con
siderable alarm -of late, bat the most effea
tual means known have been adopted to
keep it at a distance. There Should be no
great alarm here where we have been eating
cattle plague beef for the last three years,
jivery large daitym in had to give up busi
ness a year ago and send his cows to market.
Gaittg into ■ the Treasury Department to
day, 1 met the octogenarian, Charles Vincent,
the oldest clerk iu Government employ. He
i« in- his eightieth year, and has held one
position in the Department fifty-six years,
"and bids fair to live many years more. His
father was a Maryland farmer. Charles, at
the »ge of fourteen, went into a store as
rferk in Georgetown ; subsequently went
into “'business for himself, failed, and when
the Government was moved from Philadel
phis-to this point he accepted tlitf,position
he tow- occupies under John Adarim He
has shaken hands with everjt President from
' Wsisbineton down to Johnson, raised a large
fomity, and is very generally respected for
. for many gdod qualities.
Tire indications are that there will be s
large increase in the number or immigrants
another .year. No Jess than half a dozen
agents of loreiga goWernmeiits have recently
Visited Washington, to obtain all requisite
information ai to the advantages foreigners
have upon arriving here. They express
theitipelves surprised at our liberal laws. By
another year the Southern States ought to
receive additions to their population from
this soucee. The only thing, requisite and
necessary to secure this end is peace. When
men can realize that they can go South and
speak their minds, and enjoy their property
1 as can be done in the Northern Slates, then
the fide will turn in that direction; but not
till then.
, There is scarcely any political excitement
t in this latitude. I The so-called democrats

much lime throw}.! away, and soma of the
mast active /workers confess that all they
hope to aeeomblish is to keep up the demo
cratic organization. The best evident I ®-, of
1 public sentiment is in the fact that of a
number of large sums offered on Grant’s
election not one has yet been taken—not
even a standing bet. tuat Seymour will, not
receive, the electoral vote of four Northern
States 1 It is frequently said that offering to
bet does not prove anything, but in this calse
I think differently. “Capital.
- i— OTI
The Southern wing of the democracy are
getting very airxious to. know what pre
parations the Northern democratic leaders
are making for carrying out the revolu
tieuury programme of Frank Blair. Ono
Southern paper asks if the work of raising
regiments has yot been begun by the
Seymour party; and. it expresses a great
dislike of the hot blooded Southerners getting
into another difficulty only to be again
deserted by their Northern friends.
The Hon. Frank P. Blair, after his speech .
in Leavenworth, in the presence of a num
ber of gentlemen, and in reply to a remark
that’‘Grant was a fool,” said :
“Sir, you are mistaken. Grant is no
f>x)L , I know him well. I Ifpew'bim before
he went into tho army, anti when he used
to han't wood into the”city of St. Louis. .1
met him’often in the service. I know the
man. He is, by , the greatest monos
the age. Sherman, Sheridan nnd Thorons
are good wen, but G rsuit worth more
than all of them. Oliver Cromwell aud
Napoleon Bonaparte were both great men,
l»ut, sir, I tell yon that Grant is a greater
than Cromwell and Bonaparte put
together. He is not a -ai.ker, but he is one
of tho d—ost thinkers in the world.”

Cupid, and Psyche Play a Game of BatUe
door in a Louinille Boarding House.
The fashionable world of Louisville was j
thrown into spasms of curiosity on Saturday
by some rich and racy developments apper- t
taiiring to a delicious bit of scandal, i’which *
a gay Lothario and a rare and radiant
maiden, fair as poet’s dream, and as lovely (
as Hebe, were the principal actors, the rest <
of the dramatis persona: being equally well
cast for q first elass comedy. The heroine, f
it seems, lives with her father in a palatial ‘
mansion in an aristocratic quarter of the ,
city, where the scene is laid. The father j
has a gentleman and his wife living with
him and assisting to liquidate the expenses ‘
of the house by contributing a certain
amount of pecuniary emolument towards
that purpose. Not to put too fine a point
upon it, lie took boarders.
Few things are more difficult in this
world th»n boarding in private families
without sooner or later the “row circum
stantial” being brought bn. So that in
time the lady boarder fell out with the
family, a war of words followed, “pieces of
my mind” were given freely, the lady !
boarder swept from the house with the air (
of an offended duchess; and, in short, ,
incontinently left. Stung to the quick, and ■
burning with a frightful desire for a terri
ble and swift vengeance upon the family, '
she set her woman’s wits to work to conqoct ‘
a scheme of revenge which would be a '
sweet morsel under her tongue for life, and J
at the same time deal her enemies a terrific t
blow in a vital spot—the family honor. <
Among many ardent swains who sighed 1
for the beauteous maid and were passionate ‘
worshippers at her shrine, was a gallant, j
gay Lothario who had been a victim of the
tender passion and loved her with all the i
depth, the fire, the passion, the wildness, .
the strength, the intensity, and the devo
tion of his manly soul. Nay, lie would
have willingly gnawed down two panels
of her father’s fence to have thrown himself J
and his paltry monthly stipend as clerk at
her feet, and there pour into her too con
fiding ears, the insidious poison of his doubly
distilled love., Tbe cruel and relentless
parent, however, utterly refused to see it, and 1
sternly bade Lothario “come no more.” The 1
lady boarder knew this state of affairs, and 1
so wrote the Signor Lothario un elegant '
note as coming from the Heroine, on per- ,
fumed paper, in a beautiful Italian hand, ,
and sealed it with an appropriate motto. In 1
this note she pictured, with maddening 1
warmth and in glowing roseate colors, the 1
joys, vouchsafed only by wedded bliss, that 1
awaited him, and appointed a rendezvous
at a certain hour on Saturday. The He- ■
roine was told by her that Lothario
would meet her at a certain place »nd hour,
and “wished to see her.” But, alas I the 1
course of true love ne’er yet did run
smooth. “There’s many a slip between
the cup and the lip.” This charming tete a
tete was within a few hours of consumma
tion when the arrangement reached the
ears of the Heroine’s Big Brother, who was
enraged beyond all control; and instead of
waiting until the hour named for the meet
ing, when fie might have bagged his man
comfortably and without fail, unable to re
strain his wrath, he rushed forthwith franti
cally around to the house where the ren
dezvous was to be, and was iu the act of
applying a piece of the dried hide of a cow
to the back and shoulders of the ex-lady
boarder, when her liege- lord suddenly ap
peared upon the Scene like an angry storm
cloud athwart the heavens, and defended his
wife bravely by going off to procure a war
rant forth« arrest of Big Brother. Signor
Lothario in the meantime got wind of the
situation and suddenly recollected that he
had some important business to transact in
Cincinnati, and fled thither.
Moral.:—Write your own notes, see them
delivered, and never trust another woman,
especially when there is a matt in the case;
for
Hell hath nu fury like an ex-lady boarder
turned out oj a house for “sassin” tho family.

WitEnnAs, In consequence of a failure on the
part of the Registrars for the 15th Senatorial
District to bold elections in accordance with the
election order of Gon. Meade, in the counties of
Telfair and Irwin ; and whereas, a doubt has
existed as to tho authority of the Governor,
under the Code of Georgia, to order elections in
snch cases—
Now, therefore, By virtue of tho authority
vested in mo by a joint resolution of the Gen
eral A.sembly of this State, passed on tho 13th
day of August, 1808, and approved this 14th day
of August, 1868,1, Rufus. B. Bullock, Govornpr,
do hereby issue this my writ of election to the
Ordinaries of the counties of Telfair and Irwin,
directing and requiring fhem to order and pub
lish a day for holding an election for members
of the House of Representatives and county
officers in their respective counties, by giving at
least thirty days’ notice, as is required by law;
Given under my hand ami Seat es the Exeou- <

Whereas, At an adjourned term of tho Su
perior Court of Spalding county in said State,
held ia the month of July A. D. 1866, Samuel
Clark was tried and convicted of the offence of
murder, and was at the February Te rm of said
court, sentenced by tho presiding Judge of said
court “to be executed by hanging until he is
deadand whereas, the said Samuel Clark has
been respited until such time as may hereafter
bo appointed by lawful and competent authority
for the execution of said sentence; and whereas,
a petition, signed by a largo and respectable
portion of citizens of said county, has been
presented asking fer the pardon of said Samuel
Clark, for the following reasons, to wit:
Firstly, Because ho was hurried to trial almost
immediately after the commission of tho act;
but one day intervening between tho kilting and
the trial.
Secondly, Because tho testimony upon which
he was convipted was the unreliable and con
flicted evidence of two ignorant negro women.
Thirdly, Because there is a large amount,of
newly discovered evidence, going to show that
the deceased had threatebed the life of Clark,
and that his life was in great danger.
Fourthly, Because the defendant, Clark, has
been in close confinement in jail for about two
years, during whiph time he has been a great
sufferer, his feet having been badly frost-bitten
by tho intense cold of two winters.
Now, therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock,. by virtue
of the authority in me vested by the Constitution
and laws of this S-tate, d'er hereby fully and
freely pnrdon the- said .Samuel Clark of the
offence with which he stands convicted, and
restore him to his civil rights, aud order that he
to forthwith discharged from his imprisonment
and sat at liberty.

Whebbas, At April Term,. 1867, of Murray
Superior Court, James Brown was convicted of
the offence of burglary, in forcing open tho win
dow of a mill ami stealing therefrom one bushel
of corn er meal, and sentenced to tlte Peniten
tiary for life—
And whereas, it is believed that the punish
ment, although strictly in accordance with- the
law, is harsh, and not, iu consonance .with the
character of the offence; and whereas, the So
licitor General who proaccuted the case requests
his pardon ; and further, it is believed that tho
punishment already inflicted is sufficient atone
ment for the crime—
Note, therefore, by virtue of tbe power vested
in m? by the Constitution, I do hereby fully and
freely pardon fho said James Brown of the
offenceof which ho stands convicted, and restore
him to his civil rights, and order that he forth
with be discharged from confinement and set at
