THE STATE CONVENTION.
Our special dispatches from Atlanta arc
ot the most gratifying character. The
Republican State Convention, in numbers,
patriotism and enthusiasm, Las had no
parallel in Georgia. A full electoral
ticket has been placed in the field. The
names of the candidates will be found at
our masthead this morning.
Each one of the Electoral candidates
will be expected to make a thorough fight.
There are to tie no laggards in the battle
from this time until November. We can
and must carry Georgia. With a vigorous
canvass and a fyll and fair vote, the result
is not doubtful. That the Republican
party will have.
We congratulate the Republicans of
Richmond county in the success of their
competition for the honor of being the
banner delegation. Now’ let each county
lalxtr for the glory of being the banner
county at the polls.
GOVERNOR BULLOCK.
If the Ku-Klux oditors could Ixs ex
pected to be susceptible to the sensation of
shame, they ought to blush at the injustice
with which, they speak of the Governor of
the State of Georgia. Governor Bullock
personally commands and deserves respect,
as all those who come in contact with him
will testify, but if his political opponents
have not sufficient appreciation of what is
due to his gentlemanly conduct and bear
ing, it might reasonably lie supposed they
could have some respect for the high office
he fills. In attempting to degrade the
man, they degrade the office he holds; and
in future, should the State of Georgia be
so unfortunate as to fall under the rule of
a Democratic Governor, they cannot ex
pect that the rule they have laid down in
their conduct toward Gov. Bullock shall
be relaxed—their rule is that political
differences shall justify personal abuse.
We have watched the assaults made
upon the Governor, and, after all, they
amount to little else than the same sort of
arguments as are used by school boys in
their quarrels with each other-—to wit:
filthy epithets and blackguardism. In his
short administration of the. Government,.
he lias provoked a sliowcr of filth which
might have Soiled his garments had he
not stood so far above his maligners; but
‘we have yet to sec any proof produced
that in one single net he lias violated the
laws or the Constitution of the State, or
done aught but what will redound to tho
benefit of the people. In the matter of
appointments, that most delicate, difficult,
and invidious part of his duties, he has
honestly sought to place the right men in
the right places. If he has failed to do so,
it is because he has been deceived by the
applicants and those who have recom
mended them. His own party finds fault
with him, as we hear, for appointing
unrepentant rebels to office. If he has
done so, it is because lie lias l>een misin
formed, or because no other efficient and ex
perienced man could be found to fill the po
sition. Gov. Bullock has no love for the
enemies of the Union, and he has a greater
solicitude sot the prosperity of the State
and for the success of his administration ;
consequently, he can not reject tho indis 7 .
pensable services of a competent man, if
such a man will consent to put his politics
and principles in his pocket. There are
thousands of Democrats who would be
rejoiced to accept office under him on those
terms.
But the Democratic editors and other
pestilent demagogues are not the men to
decide upon the conduct of Governor
Bullock—they are not the people, and Jes
the people decide. When the proper time
comes, if the Governor has done wisely,
justly, patriotically, let their verdict lx?,
“well done;” if he has acted selfishly,
corruptly and treacherously, let him be
condemned. The time has not yet come
for his defence, or for the verdict, ami if
the sense of justice lias not yet fled from
the people, they will not condemn their
Chief Magistrate untried and unheard.
Won’t Mix.—A correspondent of the
New York Times, giving a description of
the Louisiana Legislature, says that no
females arc ever seen in the galleries except
octoroons or quadroons. From this fact
he argues that the two races will not
mingle.
Now, it appears to us that the very
existence of octoroons and quadroons de
monstrates that the races will mingle, and
very effectually aud unfortunately. The
Times' man proves too much.
Grant no Soldier.—The LaGrange
Reporter says Grant is no soldier. This is
an insult to Lu and his veterans. Would
such a soldier as Lek have surrendered hie
sword to a man that was “ no soldier ?”
GOVERNOR BULLOCK’S ACT OF
CLEMENCY.
Perhaps the highest compliment that
could be paid Gov. Bullock, would be
the mere statement of the fact that no
official act of His Excellency has yet failed
to receive the condemnation of the Chroni
cle. The chief talent of that paper con
sists in the unerring certainty with which
it always selects the wrong side. It is also
an expert at misrepresentation. In its
issue of yesterday, for instance, in Its
denunciation of the Governor for pardon -
ing one Samuel Clahk, of Spalding coun
ty—convicted of murder and sentenced to
be hung, more than two years ago —the
Chronicle charges that clemency Was exer
ciscd on “the ground that bis conviction Was
produced by the evidence of two ignorant
negroes,” and then triumphantly asks:
"What, do the negroes think of their
chosen leader now
Now, suppose the Governor had said
that these “two negroes” were ignorant,
and that, therefore, he exercised clemency;
what then ? Every colored man knows
that there arc ignorant colored as well aS
white men. We have seen colored men as
ignorant as the editor of the Chronicle is
mendacious. That is putting the case
strong. Bui Governor Bullock did not
pardon Clark because he was convicted
by “two ignorant" negroes, but because “a
large and respectable portion of the citi
zens” of Spalding county asked it. These
citizens (nearly, if not all, Democrats)
gave as reasons for mercy:
Ist. Clark was hurried to trial the
second day’ after the killing.
2d. The evidence was unreliable and
conflicting.
fid. There is a large amount of newly
discovered evidence, showing that Clark
was not guilty of murder; that the killing
was necessary to protect his own life.
4th. That Clark had already been
sufficiently punished by being closely
confined for two years, with attending
suffering.
These were the reasons given by Spald
ing county Democrats, and Gov. Bullock
simply took it for granted they were
correct. Governor Jenkins having already
exercisixl all the power ho hail in the
matter (granted a respite), was another,
and a strong argument for clemency.
Why don’t the Chronide malign the Ex-
Governor for granting the respite ?
a— - J
THE SEYMOUR PLAN OF TAXA
TION.
'Flic Seymour party oppose the present
mode of raising means to carry on the
Government. Their platform tayors the
“equal taxation of every species of prop
erty, according to its real value.” The
Republican party maintains that what
the Democracy claims as “equal taxation”
is really tlie most unreasonable and unequal
that could be invented by designing capi
talists to throw the burthens of a Govern
ment on the farming and planting interests.
For the information of the reading
public, we illustrate the practical workings
of the Democratic plan :
A is a tradesman, with an active capital
of $2,000. B owns a little farm which,
stock and all, is valued at the same
amount. Each party is worth the same ;
yet A being a tradesman, and having his
$2,000 invested in articles of merchandise,
can turn it over, perhaps, as often as onee
a month, and tints do a business of $24,000
per annum. B makes nothing on his little
farm except what he digs out of the earth.
The tradesman really has the use of
$24,000 per year, while the farmer only
has his original $2,000. The Democracy
calls it “ equal” to require B. to pay as
many dollars tax as A, Not so with the
Republicans. Our party holds that it is
right and just to protect the tillers of the
soil. If the planting interests will cease
listening to the prateings of demagogues,
and be governed by reason instead of
passion and prejudice, they will find that
the Republican party is now, what it ever
has been, the laboring man’s friend.
—— •
Social Equality.—The Democracy are
getting up big barbecues in different parts
of the State, where the leaders induce the
white men to eat at the same table and
pick the same bones with the colored men.
This is social equality. What will not a
Democrat do for an office ? Yet the darkey
will fool the Nullifiers. The black man
will eat their meat, drink their whiskey,
halloo for Seymour and Blair, aud—vote
for Grant and Colfax.
A Change for the Worse.—Some ten or
twelve years ago, when Willingham, of the
LaGrange Reporter, managed Ben. Hill,
politically, both W. and H. conducted them
selves like true patriots. Now that the
tables are turned, and Hill controls the
Reporter editor, Satan could wish no more
active agents.
“If the Cap Fits.”—A few days since,
we said :
“Men who Lave uo moral character them
selves, and are irresponsible for their own
infamous acts of villainy and rascality, cun
afford to lie and slander and abuse gentle
men."
The editor of the LaGrange Reporter
takes this to himself. Well, be know*,
whether or not the cap fits.
♦ ♦ •
One Equal to a Hundred.—The La-
Grange Reporter speaks of one David G.
Cutting. Weil, one David G. Coiting is
equal—morally, socially and intellectually—
to otse hundred such as the Reporter editor.
Has no Equal.—The editor of the La
Grange Reporter accuses other people with
lying with the same facility that he tells
them himself. You have not your equal,
Willingham.
Take off Your. Badges, Gentlemen. —
Whenever you see a man with a Seymour
and Blair badge, and hear him denouncing
negro suffrage, ten chances to one you see
and near an individual that never shoul
dered a gun in defence of the South when
there was a hope for the establishment of
Southern independence.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Funeral oj Mr.Skvens —Political Matters
What the War Democrats Prope as to Do—An
Economical Trick—More Felons Seeking Execu
tive Clemency—Tbs Ku-Klius in Louisiana and
Elsewhere—Freedmen’s Savin')* Bank.
Washington, August 15, 1868.
The exciting topic of the week has been
the death and funeral of the Hon, Tlpuldeus
Stevens, of Pennsylvania. The body lay in
state iti the rotanda of the Capitol during
two days, guarded by the Buller (colored)
Zouaves. During the two days there was a
steady siream of visitors, who called to talje
a last look of the mortal remains of the
“great commoner.” The funeral was attended
yesterday by all classes of citizens, and the
services in the rotunda, and the whole pro
ceeding-v rmule a deep impression upon all
who were so fortunate as to get within hear
ing distance. It was the largest funeral seen
iu Washington since the death of President
Taylor.
Political matters are very quiet. Politi
cians, however, on both sides, are somewhat,
anxious about the Fall State elections.
Democrats are anxious because they have
nearly everything to gain and very little to
lose; Republicans are anxious because the
party never polls its. full strength at minor
elections, while thqir opponents are always
.ou band; but at this time it is desirable to
see as full a Vote as possible, so as not to
supply the enemy with any comfort —not
one single grain, The issues involved in the
Presidential campaign are too momentous to
permit even an antecedent State election to
go by default, for upon the overwhelming
success of the Republican party depends the
peace and wellarc of the republic. Men of
all political shades feel this to be so ; Repub
licans know it.
The attempt of leading Southern Demo
cratic politicians to cover up their slime by
denying the full import of their words, only
excites the contempt of the Democratic
rank and file of the North. Scheming
politicians here advised the hot heads at
the South that, by their speeches, they
were making Republican votes faster than
all the Republican speakers and presses
combined; but the advice, when heeded,
was entirely too late. As a result of the
recent Democratic speeches South, the war
Democrats of the North are organizing with
a view to voting solidly for Grant and
Colfax.
One of the most contemptible acts of the
S resent administration came to light a few
ays since. Recently, several hundred
employees of the Quartermaster’s Depart
ment were summarily discharged, and
without receiving the usual notice of fifteen
days. The alleged reason was the failure
of Congress to make a special appropria
tion. As soon as the clerks werexlischarged,
they were asked to enlist as private soldiers
in the army, under the promise of being
detailed as clerks in their old positions. As
they were out of money, a majority agreed
to this arrangement, and they are now
doing the work as before. The saving to
the Government is about sls per week for
each man. Rather a small business, that,
for an agent of the people. •
A strong effort is being made to secure
the pardon of Qallicott and other members
of the whiskey ring, convicted during the
last season of felony, aud who are now
serving out a term es imprisonment in the
Albany. Penitentiary. There is a strong
lobby here engaged on this business, and as
Mr. Johnson has pardoned almost everybody
else, he will undoubtedly do so with these
unfortunates. Mrs. Cobb is again in favor at
the White House, and is doing a thriving
business.
It is not generally known, but it is never
theless true, that Miss Harris, who murdered
in cold blood young Burroughs, in the Treas
ury Department, a few days ago, “for trifling
with her affections," is a hopeless maniac,
aud confined in the institution just across
the eastern branch of the Potomac. Had )
the Judge before whom she was tried allowed
the law To take its course she would undoubt
edly have been better off to-day.
Governor Warmoth’s exposure of the Ku
Klux outrages has pretty thoroughly aroused
the Northern people to a realizing sense of
the danger of trusting too much to the honor
of men once contaminated by the heresy of
secession. The President was at first dis
posed to doubt the statement iu. regard to the
outrages upon Union men in Louisiana, and
he was only convinced of the actual condition
of affairs by overwhelming corroborative
evidence. He was the last one to believe
that any large body of men could be so lost
to all that pertains to manhood as to murder
men, women aud children for no other
reason than they were Republicans.
The condition of Texas and Mississippi
is quite as bad as Louisiana, a union man’s
life is not worth a wish outside the large
cities apd towns, nor even in them if he
does nos keep pretty due to his quarters in
the night time. The work of the Republi
can party is by no means accomplished ;
when it is. a man will be as frefcto act and
give utterance to bis opinions in the South
oh has always been the case at the North.
The sooner the people of the South rise to
this plane of civilization, the bettor it will
be for them and the whole country.
The height of the season has passed and
we are having the usual August weather—
hot days and cold nights, and pleasure
seekers arc beginning to tiirn their thoughts
homeward. Secretary Schofield has already
returned from his summer trip; Secretary
Seward will be hero next week, and by the
last of September the city will present a
lively appearance again. Congressmen
generally are opposed to re-assembling in
September, unless there shottll be some
positive necessity for it. It is not time yet
to determine whether such a necessity will
arise or riot Mr. Johnson's moderate
course of late lends to tho hope that there
will be no meeting before December, but
then Presidents—and particularly Andrew
Johnson—are very* uncertain.

Wherkas, In consequence of a failure on the

Now, therefore, By virtue of the authority

eral Assembly of this itate, passed on tho liih

of August, 1868,1, Rufus B. Bullock, Goyernot,

WflEtiEAs, At an adjourned term of the Su
perior Court of Spalding county in raid State,
held in the month of July A. D. 1866, Samuel
Clark wae tried aud convicted of the offence of
murder, and was at tho February Term of said
court, sentenced by the 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
be appointed by lawful and competent authority
for the execution of said sentence; and whereas,
a petition, signed by a large and respectable
portion of citizens of laid county, has bees
presented asking for the pardon of said Samuel
Clark, for the following reasons, to wit;
Firstly, Becnuso ho was hurried to trial almost
Immediately after the'commission of tho act;
but one day intervening between tho killing and
the trial.
Secondly, Because the testimony upon which
ho was convicted was tho unreliable aud con
flicted evidence of two ignorant negro women.
Thirdly, Because there is a largo 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
been in close confinement in jail for about two
years, during which time he has been a great
sufferer, his feet having been badly frost-bitten
by tho intense cold of two winters.
Now, therefore,l, Rufus B. Bullock, by virtue
of the authority in me veatod by the Constitution
aud laws of this State, do hereby fully sod
freely pardon the said Samuel Clark of the
offence with which ho stands convicted, and
restore him to his civil rights, and order that he
bo forthwith discharged from his imprisonment
aud 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 tho Peniten
tiary for life—
And whereas, it is believed that the punish
ment, although strictly in accordance with the
law, is harsb, arid not iu consonance with the
character of tiro odlencc ; and whereas, the So
licitor General who prosecuted the ease requests
his pardon; and further,, it is believed that the
punishment already inflicted is sufficient atone
ment for tbo crime—
Now, therefore, by virtue of tbo power vestd
in mo by tho Constitution, I do hereby fully » n, l
