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. —Mr. A. J. Streeter recently drove a pair of horses from St. Paul, Minn., to Hartford, Conn., in aeveti wevks. The uistnncv is about fifteen hundred miles. [Communicated. 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 more and Blair I Now, if any “darkey” can be caught with that sort of bait he may set me down as a De Mock Rat. [Fruia the Atlanta Era. -The Georgia Legislature. Atlanta, August 15, 1868. senate The Journal was read and approved. Mr. Burns gave notice that he would contest the confirmation of 11. K. McCay as Judge of the Supreme Court. A communication was received from the Governor announcing that he had approved certain bills and resolutions. A motion was made to adjourn to Wednes day next. The motion did not prevail. Tho Senate resumed the unfinished business, being the consideration of the motion to reconsider the action of the Senate in the adoption of the majority report, .so far as regards the eligibility of Aaron A. Bradley. Mr. Campbell being entitled to tho floor, addressed the Senate in favor of the motion to reconsider- Mr. Smith, of the 7th, interrupting, rose to a point of order, and stated that he doubted whether there was a quorum present The President ordered the roll called, when it was found that a quorum was not present. Mr. Candler offered a resolution that the Messenger be instructed to bring the absent Senators to their seats. The resolution was adopted. Before the resolution was put into execu tion, a Senator having come in, the Presi dent announced a quorum present, and Mr. Campbell proceeded with his remarks, and spoke until the hour of adjournment, when the President declared tho Senate adjourned to 10 o’clock on Monday.

( 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.
