TUESDAY
For I»TtESII>EIVT
Os the United States:
ULYSSES S. GRANT.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
Schuyler Colfax,
OF INDIANA.
THE CONVENTION TODAY.
The Republican State Convention, to put
in the field a Grant and Colfax Presi
dential Electoral Ticket, which assembles
in Atlanta, promises to be one of the
largest gatherings ever held in Georgia.
It will be the formal opening of the cam
paign in the State. Several hundred left
this city last night, as the representatives
of old Richmond. The party in this
State is thoroughly in earnest, and intend
to improve on Gov. Bullock's majority in
November. We hope to publish the
Electoral ticket to morrow.
WANTS ANOTHER CHANCE TO
STEAL.
Our neighbor of the Constitutionalist
publishes an extract from a speech of one
“Col. E. 11. Townley, late of the Federal
army.” Hero is a specimen :
I once bought thirty six bales from a
negro for $2 50, and thought I was paying
a high price. [Laughter.) D was worth
sixty five cents a pound.
The war was for plunder and to dis
solve the Union. I tell you so because 1
was in it. I never took a red-hot stove, but
I waited one day four hours for one to cool.
[Laughter.],
Now, so far as "Col. E. 11. Townley, late
of the Federal army,” is concerned, we
have no doubt he tells the truth. And
further, he has probably squandered his
stealings during tho late war, and is now
anxious for another opportunity to plunder.
We have the authority of the Constitution
alist for stating that ho supports Seymouk
and Bi.air. That is tho war ticket. Grant
is for peace. Choose ye, citizens of Geor
gia !
——— «■» ——
A Great and Good Man’s Opinion.—
Hon. R. M. Pearson, a Conservative of
#orth Carolina, and known to every lawyer
in the land as a member of the Supreme
Court of his State for the past thirty years,
and for twenty years its Chief Justice, is
out in a strong letter for Grant and
Colfax. He says that the Conservative
party must split into two —the Peace
Conservatives and Nullifiers. The Con
servatives should act with the Conservative
party, and vote for Grant, who can bring
peace to the country and prosperity to the
State.
Will Southern men be governed by
unprincipled maniacs like Bob Toombs in
preference to the unselfish counsels of such
wise and pure men ns Judge Pearson, of
North Carolina, and Judge Warner, of
Georgia ?
A Question. —The Bainbridge Argus ecu
tains an account of three democratic meet
ings, which were addressed by colored men.
The Republican would put a question : Did
these colored democrats tell their people that
the Democratic party prefers war to negro
suffrage ? Did they give any reason why
men who, by supporting the democratic party,
acknowledge their own incapacity to vote,
should vote for Seymour and Blair?
Tue democratic party of the Bth Congres
sional District, in Tennessee, declares that
if the freedmen will “unite with the democ
racy,” “common justice and common grati
tude” demand that they should not be dis
turbed in their political rights.
Query?—lf “common justice and common
gratitude" secures the right to vote to a
colored democrat, will it not secure the same
right to a colored republican ?
Talking to our Si on. —The Bainbridge
Argus has an “Appeal to honest men.”
Well, let that paper talk to our side. It can
appeal to Republicans as earnestly as it
chooses.
Hon. Jobh Hill cn the Stump.—Joshua
Hili., Senator elect, mode a rousing speech
for Grant and Colfax nt Madison, Ga , on
Saturday.
Burning Houses and Capturing Negroes.
—During the war, when Frank Blair had
returned from an expedition, Gen. Grant
asked him if he bad taken any prisoners.
Blair’s reply was, “ I have taken no
prisoners ; but I have burned all the houses
and captured all the niggers.’’
Think of that, ye that sport Seymour
and Blair badges.
—
The War Democrats Organizing.—The
New York Times of the 13th says the War
Democrats of that city are about holding a
preliminary meeting for the purpose of
effecting a thorough and independent or
ganization, to support General Grant, and
that this will be followed by similar organ
izations throughout the North. Roll on the
ball.
-♦♦♦■
Senator Hill a Republican.—The Demo
cratic papers have been very jubilant over
the election of two supposed Democratic
Senators from Georgia. We conceded that
one of the Senators might be of that political i
faith, as his record previous to and during:
the war was not of a character to afford a
very strong faith in the intensity of his loy
alty. The other Senator elect, Joshua Hill,
we knew personally, having sat with him
during two terms of Congress, when the
spirit of a future rebellion was then brewing
in the breasts of the rebel leaders ia that
body. We were won by his candor and fair
ness, and by his conservative course as a
pro-slavery representative.
The telegraph advises us that Mr. Hill has
publicly taken his stand for Grant, Colfax
and the Republican platform, assuring the
Georgians that the election of these two
standard bearers of the Republican party
affords “the only hope for the country."
Exactly what our Democratic friends will do,
if the white sons of the South condemn
them, remains to be seen. Perhaps the party
will be satisfied with Vance, Wise, Cobb,
Lee, Toombs, Semmes, and an unadulterated
class of rebel supporters, whose recon! of
devotion to treason cannot be impeached by
any utterance of their lips or devotion to
I "the lost cruse ’ upon the tie'Kt.
jPveideiice (It. I.) Press.
GEMS FROM IHE N. Y. TRIBUNE.
Will the country have Grant and peace, or
Seymour and Blair and pieces ?
The Lost Caws—The crowing of the
copperhead cocks over the Kentucky elec
tion.
The Hartford Post perpetrates the follow
ing : Frank Blair's “best hold”—to hold his
tongue.
The difference between Grant and Blair is
the difference between a “mum” man and
a “rum” man.
The Blair family have wonderfully thick
hides. They will make excellent subjects
for our tanners.
The Boston Post says Mr. Seymour is an
“irresistible besom.” Why not call him a
parallelogram, and done with it ?
The Democratic papers have tried all sorts
of means to ruin Grant’s reputation, and now
they are trying to make people believe that
he took breakfast, the other day, with Frank
Blair, at Leavenworth.
A veteran of an Albany battery, who
fought all through the war, remarked, re
cently : “The soldiers got no encouraging
words from Horatio Seymour when they
were in the field, and they will give him none
now.”
The Presidency has “no attractions” for
Horatio Seymour. Oh, no I He says it
don’t. He also said the nomination didn’t.
He’s a first class decliner, Horatio is. Arte
mus Ward said “not a drop of good liquor
has passed my lips in fifteen years. Cause
why ? I reached out and nipped it before it
got by.”
When he (Blair) says no, he means no!
What does he mean when he says “con
s’ush'n ?”
A Democratic paper says that, in order to
secure Seymour’s election, they must get out
every Democratic voter. Can’t do it, for some
of them are in for a number of years.
A Seymour man was willing to bet ten to
one that Seymour could out talk Grant- A
Grant man was willing to bet ten to one that
“actioiis speak louder than words.” Neither
bet was taken.
“Just got up a bust of Gen. Grant. Buy
it, sir ; two dollars.” A voice thunders out,
“No; have you a bust of Seymour?” Re
ply: “No, none up of him yet. There will
be a new lust tip of him in November.”
The Democratic papers of Connecticut are'
raving over a new "Radical outrage,” viz:
the circulation of The Irish Re üblic among
the Irish voters of the State. What business
has anybody to circulate any but Democratic
papers among the Irishmen ? What busi
ness have Irishmeii'toread auv other papers?
A Democrat, while hearing the Declara
tion of American Independence read at the
Fourth of July celebration at Ridgeville,
Ohio, where it recites that “all men are
created free, and arc endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights,
among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness,” turned upon his heel and
walked away, muttering that he “would not
listen to any such a d—d Abolition speech
as that.”
PLAIN TALK.
General Boynton thus sets at rest the
question as to the position of that fighting
democrat, General James B. Steedman, on
the democratic nomination for President:
. General Steedman was one of the most
prominent men in the Hancock movement.
Tho day after the nomination Seymour called
on him at his hotel, the mission being one of
conciliation. But, as the result showed, very
little comfort did Seymour receive. Steed
man told him plainly that his nomination
bad been accomplished by a trick, which
was but another name for a fraud; that he
had first rendered himself an incubus upon
the party by dividing the East and the West
on the subject of bonds, and then added a
hundred-fold to the weight of that incubus
by foisting himself upon the party, if not by
by a trick, by means so like it that the
charge could not be successfully met before
the parly or the country. Steedman further
told him that no honest soldier eould sup
port him; that he was a representative of
the Peace Democracy alone, and that how
ever much he and his friends might attempt
to distort, conceal, or apologize for his
record during the war, every soldier in the
land would scorn it, and desert the man or
the party which approved it. This was but
a part of Stcedman’s honest language, and
Steedman, unlike some who feel as he does,
tells every one openly that he will not sup
port tho ticket.
HON. TIIADDEUS STEVENS.
Mr. Stevens was born in Caledonia county,
Vermont, on the 4th of April, 1792- He
graduated at Dartmouth College, New Hamp
shire, in 1814, and removed to Pennsylvania,
where he engaged in teaching an academy,
at the same time prosecuted the study of
law, continuing it for two years, when he
was admitted to the bar of that State. In
1833 he was elected to the State Legislature,
to which body he was returned as a member
the two following years, and again in 1837
and 1841. He was also a member of the
State Constitutional Convention in 1838,
and was appointed Canal Commissioner in
1842.
He became a citizen of Lancaster in 1842,
and since that time has made that city his
residence, lie was first elected to Congress
in 1848. He was reelected to the Thirty
second, Thirty-sixth, Thirty-seventh, Thirty
eighth, Thirty-ninth, and the Fortieth Con
gress—in the last election receiving a ma
jority of 5,623 votes over his democratic
ompetitor.
During his long and eventful career in
Congress he has occupied a prominent and
influential position, and of late years he has
been universally acknowledged us an able
aud intrepid leader of the most radical
wing of the Republican party. He has
ever been noted for bis indomitable will
and wonderful energy, by means of which
be has been able to carry through to a
successful issue many a project which at
first seemed impossible of achievement,
and which not seldom many of those who
acted with him hesitated fully to endorse.
This inflexibility of purpose was, however,
manifested only in the right, as he con
ceived the right, and even those who in the
past have been swift to condemn the mea
sures he has advocated, will not hesitate to
admit that the objects he aimed at were
such as he conceived would redound to the
"advancement of the nation, and the lasting
good of all its people.—A”. I”. Times.
The New York Sun, an independent
paper, says, editorially:
Some of the more truculent Democrats in
the Fourth District are moving to throw
overboard the Hon. John Morrissey, their
present member of Congress. No charge
is made against him of unfaithfulness to
the Democracy. Besides, Mr. Morrissey’s
opinion is shared by all intelligent and
cool-headed Democrats, whose judgment is
not carried away by their sympathies and
wishes. They feel that Grant is bound to
be the next President. Why then should
Mr. Morrissey be condemned for simply ex
pressing, in tbe form of bets, the conviction
which generally prevails among the men of
brains in the party? We can’t see the
justice or the wisdom of such a condemna
tion.

POLITICAL MUD CATS.
Mr. Editor:— There are but few of our
colored friends who do not know how mud
cats are caught, and.for their special benefit
it may be proper at this time to mention the
process.
In the first place, a fish basket is to be
made of white oak. Hickory won’t do, as it
is the material of which tho American smi
le'ah is made for our Irish citizens. Nor
will “raw hide” answer the purpose, as that
went out of fashion with tho celebrated
“mud sills.” Well, having the fish basket,
now in political refinement called Colored
Democratic Chibs, the’next thing to be con
sidered is the bait. Well, it is too bad.
Skippered cheese and rotten mackerel I Sey

be caught with that sort of bait he may set
me down as a De Mock Rat.

Whereas, In consequence of a failure on the

District to hold elections in accordance with the
election order of Gen. Meade, in tho counties of
Telfair and Irwin ; and whereas, a doubt has
existed as to the authority of the Governor,
under the Code of Georgia, to order elections in
such cases—
Now, therefore, By virtue of tho authority
vested in me by a joint resolution of tho Gen
eral Assembly of this State, passed on tho 13th
day of August, 1868, and approved this 14th day
of August, 1868, 1, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor,

Whereas, At an adjourned term of thc.Su
porior Court of Spalding county in said State,
held in the month of July A. D. 1866, Samuel
Clark was tried and convicted of the offence of
murder, and was at tho February Term 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 fietition, signed by a largo and respectable
portion of citizens of said county, has boon
presented asking for the pardon of said Samuel
Clark, for the following reasons, to wit:
Firstly, Because he was hurried to trial almost
immediately after the commission of the act;
but one day intervening between the killing and
the trial.
Secondly, Because tho testimony upon which
ho was convicted was tho 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 threatened the life of Clark,
and that his life was in great danger.
Fourthly, Because the defendant, Clark, has
boon in close confinement in jail for about two
years, during which time he has been a great
sufferer, his feet having been badly frost-bittca
by tho intense cold of two winters.
Now, therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, by virtue
of the authority in me vested by tho Constitution
and laws of this Slate, do hereby fully and
freely pardon tho said Samuel Clark of the
offence with which he stands convicted, and
restore him to his civil rights, and order that he
bo forthwith discharged from his imprisonment
and set at liberty.

Whereas, At April Term, 1867, of Murray
Superior Court, James Brown was convicted of
the offence of burglary, in forcing open the win
dow of a mill and stealing therefrom one bushel
of corn or meal, and sentenced to the I’eu i ten
tiary for life—
And whereas, it is believed -that tho punish
ment, although strictly in accordance with the
law, is harsh, aud not in consonance with the
character of the offence ; and whereas, the So
licitor General who prosecuted tho case requests
his pardon ; aud further, it is believed that tho
punishment already inflicted is sufficient atone
ment for the crime—
Note, therefore, by virtue of tho power vested
in me by tho Constitution, I do hereby frilly and
freely pardon the said James Brown of tho
offence of which he stands convicted, and restore
him to his civil rights, and order that he forth
