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 the bite—the dog it was that died.’ — 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 limaUst, therefore, can ‘continue the typreftojiiliL*’ ( _ '■( UM WHO "ARB VOTERS IN GEORGIA f.

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 A “Chtt or tkrOld Bf,ocK.'’—Robert 1 son of that great statesman, Stepuen A. Douglas, delivered his maiden political 1 speech at Raleigh, N. C., a few days since. Mr. Douglas recognizes the troth of the dying declaration of his honored sire, that there are only two parties in tiro country now—at party of patriots and a party of traitors; and he instinctively arrays him self with the former. <ls “The Radicals say that the Democratic party wants the negro vote. Well, so they do.’’— Chronicle. 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 from the Chronkle is an acknowledgment of the fact. - > *, ■ • t If tui Democrats love the Unfou and the CoMtitution so well, how fe it that they waged w|r on both for four years 2 ASS ASSIN A TION COMMENDED. The Warrenton (Ga.) Clipi>er gloats over 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. - • PRixcrrLEs, not Votes.—The demo crats are deadly opposed to negro suffrage, and as a matter of consistency aiwl princi ple—a characteristic tor which they aru so noted h—will refuse to count the “nig ger” vote in the South cast for the dptiH> - cratic candidates!

[Correspondence Augusta Republican. 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 malto an qccasijjjjafjeffvirt to arouse a little ’ eiifiiusiastn, buUifcffino go. Spankers and >. listeners that all labor towards • electing Blair will be just co 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.” ' NEA RL Y A TRA GED Y. 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.

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.
