' Undignified.—Ou his own account, we ' regret to see that Judge Hiram Warner has seen fit, in respouse to a letter signed by a number of lawyers of Atlanta, requesting him to accept the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, to indulge, an ' ill-temper in striking contrast with the high . toned dignity and gentlemanly bearing which we had always understood heretofore charnc- > tcrized his conduct. The people remember, if Judge Warner does not, that Chief ' Justice Brown had been repeatedly elected i Governor ot Georgia by 'he people of the State, and that on the score of past honors, [ Governor Brown had superior claims to i himself. Instead of attempting to degrade p Judge W., as he insinuates, Governor ‘ Bullock showed his appreciation of his character by making him one of the Associate i Justices. His railing about having received i the “lowest”, position would be unworthy a 11 much smaller man. The truth is, if Judge ! Warner carries with him.on the Bench tbe k malignant spirit which this letter clearly i exhibits, wo shall be constrained to think that the Governor made a serious mistake in i not selecting some other gentleman to ’ occupy the “subordinate” position. ' P. S.—Since the above was written, wc have received yesterday's Macon Journal & Messenger. Even that rebel jaundiced con cern is disgusted with Judge Warner's grumbling and assumed huffishness, and draws the following logical inference : If, as Judge Warner holds, his appoint ment to the lowest place on the Supreme Bench is an “attempt to degrade him,” does be not consent to, and accomplish his own degradation by the only means possible, viz: accepting that appointment. To a-plain man it has very much that look. f The Goose that Lays the Goldij>- Egg. —The Southern Democrats extend invi . tations to colored men to barbe cues and participate with tlieKi on a perfect equality. Tl,!i negro has a vote. are successful they are pledged to tako the right to vote away from the negro. When he is no longer a voter is there any one silly enough to sup pose that Democrats will then invite them to barbecues ? It is the vote which the black man has that makes him “our colored friendwhen the Democrats take that from him he will be the same “d—d negro” be was before ho could vote. Suffrage is the goose that lays the golden egg. t ■- - - Another Chance.—Columbia, and other places in South Carolina, destroyed by fire in 1865, by General Frank Blair, have been rebuilt. But .we charge the people to be vigilant. Frank is again on the war path. Wljen he pomes down South to “disperse the State governments” he will again apply the torch. Can the people vote for such an incendiary ? t • ~ W* ——— Extreme Men.—The Macon Journal & Messenger (Democratic) is after tbe Chroni cle & Sentinel, thusly : “A few extreme men of our party, is decidedly rich, coming from that source. It is its own comment and •answer. It certainly needs none from us.” t Bad Habit.—The Republican is a new and sprightly daily, published nt Columbia, S. C- Wc would respectfully suggest to it that clipping editorials from a cotemporary, and publishing without giving proper credit, ts a very bad habit. f 1500 Worth.—The editor of the Chatta nooga Republican savg that he can refer any enthusiastic Democrat to a gentleman in that city who “believes SSOO worth that Grant will be elected." + The silly copperhead story that General Grant escaped being cashiered by going to Jeff. Davis, then Secretary of War, and getting permission to resign, is nailed by the.fact that Grant was in Oregon when ho resigned. NOTE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. On Friday last the House of Representa tives rejected a bill exempting from State taxation till foreign capital that* might, during the succeeding years, be invested in tlio erection and running of manufactories. On the same body reconsidered that vote, and the bill finally passed. It is of the utmost im portnneo that caplt-a! should bo invested in this State, and that capital must cotnc from outside the limits of Georgia. Our people arc cither destitute of the moans or the enterprise to embark in the business. Probably they lack both. But money is independent, and will not come where it is not urgently invited and fully protected. Therefore, it was wise in the Legislature of Georgia to extend the invitation and proffer the protection contained in thin bilk It is alleged by the opponents of this fostering system of legislation, that it is unjust to the home capital to exempt from taxation that from abroad, We think not. All well-informed persons know full well that, without some such legislation as that adopted on Saturday, no capital would come to bo taxed; consequently, the State would be without the tax and also with out the capital. So the State loses nothing by its liberality, but actually gains that of which e would have otherwise been deprived. A few large establishments, such as this measure will doubtless cause to be inaugurated, will give employment to thousands of white and colored females, who now have no employment whatever. Skilled laborers will also be in demand. All of this will distribute money among the people, and benefit everybody. Be sides, it Is a burning shame that the people of Georgia should raise cotton, send it across the Atlantic, and then have it returned to us in the shape of cloths with which to clothe our people. The people of this State, and of the whole South, arc now selling their cotton, paying the freight on it to EuropCj paying the foreign manufacturers to turn into prints, etc., paying for its return to this country, and then paying the merchant a handsome profit for his services. In other words, to use one of the illustrations of that eminent political economist, Henky C. Carey, of Philadelphia : “We sell the North and the English a rabbit for a penny, and purchase its tail for a shilling.” This is exactly the case with the people of the South, and ever has been. Instead of manufacturing our cotton, as well as growing it, we have permitted a lot of middle men to get rich oft us by doing our manufacturing and charging ungodly profits. Then let the news be heralded alfroad that Georgia invites foreign capital, and will foster it by protective laws. The State not only desires money to come, but those who own tlie money. Bring your money, strangers, and bring your principles with you. We wplcome you, whether you be Democrat or Republican, native or foreign, Jew or Gentile. Our old stock needs graft" ing with enterprise and with liberty, f ♦ POLITICAL NEWS. Tho nomination of Seymour and Blair was too much for the San Jose (California) Patriot-, and, true to its name, it announces its intention, to support Grant and Collax. Gen. John L. Swift has resigned his place as Deputy Collector in the Boston Custom House, and will stump Maine for Grant and Colfax until the State election. The Albany Argus compliments Toombs and Wise by saying that such egotistic marplots are sure to damage any cause they espouse. Why is the eighteenth letter of the alpha bet like the Presidential election of 1868 ? Because it is the end of both Seymour and Blair. Frank Blair to the crowd at Omaha: “Fel’r ci’zens 1 ’f I’ve don’ anythin’ ’to displease yer, 'rain me lore 'er b-b-Afear 1” The Chicago Post has the fol'owing: “When Seymour feels the cold wind of the 3d of November blowing upon him, he will exclaim as he exclaimed to Lincoln during the war —‘Stop the draft !’ ” Judge Alexander Rives, brother of the late William C., and a well known con servative politician of Virginia, »is out in a letter announcing that he will support Grant and Colfax. The cotton crop of Alabama this year is estimated to be worth $40,000,000. Every boll of it was raised by negro labor, while the “men who had been concerned in rebellion” were talking about “extirpating” the Union scalawags and driving the “ lazy blacks” from tho polls. In his speech at Memphis, Gen. Forrest said that at the Democratic Convention he did his best for Andy Johnson, and labored for him with Wade Hampton, thus pro curing him fifty votes. He significantly added : “Since "then he has sent me my pardon, for which I am truly thankful.” The measurre of Democratic patriotism was never more correctly stated than by the notorious Captain Isaiah Rynders, in a speech by him last week. He said ; “He loved the American flag dearly, he declared-, as any other man, so long as it represented a government in the hands of the Democratic party, and no longer.” That is, when the Democratic party is bdaten at the polls, then Rynders and his party are for tearing down the stars and stripes. Horn John S. Carlile, who, as a member of the Secession Convention of Virginia in 1861, signalized his devotion to the Union by his earnest protest against -the action of that revolutionary body, and who was one of the first Senators from the new State of West Virginia, has written a letter giving hi- reasons for desiring the election of Gen Grant! lie has recently acted against the- Republican party because he did not approve the reconstruction policy of Congress. Judge Alexander Rives, one of the most eminent lawyers ot Virginia, of which State he is a native, has also written a letter in support of Gen. Grant. lie, too, has heretofore been regarded as a Conservative. The Massachusetts State Prohibitory Com mittee has issued an address to the Republi cans ot that State, in which thev argue that “evejy consideration of party success, as well as of public interest, demands that the Republican party shall distinctly resolve that the law which now establishes and sanctions a common school system ot intemperance shall not long continue to disgrace the statutes of the Commonwealth, and they urge them to select delegates to the State Convention who will demand, with no am biguous voice, tho repeal of the present Li cense laws, and a return to the former policy of the Commonwealth,” [Corrwpond.noe Aujfu.ta Itepublioan. WASHINGTON LBTTKH. C'tngiona to JiraesombU iu Heatons Why—fThroateiiing Aspect of Affairs South—The Dangerous Classes South rind North—The New Agricultural Department Ruilding—The Late Neoting of Rebel Gensri.lt at Nashville—The Neal Object of it Strategic. Washinoton, August 20, 1868. At a consultation of lending Republicans, held here lust evening, it was decided to codpcrate with the Southern members of the party, and urge upon the committee authorized to indicate the necessity (if such should arise) of Congress reassembling on the third Monday of September, in accord ance with the arrangements made when the recess was taken. There is a mass of testimony, official and otherwise, now on file in this city, going to show that the Benedict Arnolds in some of .the Southern States are as malignant in their dispositions to day as they were in 1861; and that now, as then, they are equally determined to ruin where they cannot rule. It is known, by the best authority, that a movement is on foot in the three States not represented in Congress to vote for Presidential electors, and this course has been adopted under instructions from men of the Seymour and Blair style of Democrats residing ill Northern States. The speech of the notorious Forrest, provoked by a proposition to do a legal act in a lawful way, by the State authorities of Tennessee, makes it as clear as the noonday sun that the Rebel element is everywhere rampant and hopeful of success this Fall; the traitorous words of the brazen traitors of South Carolina and Georgia have been refichoed in the mountains of Tennessee and on the. plains of Texas. Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama have responded to the “ toot of the horn,” as Forrest signifi cantly expresses it. These irresoonsible men, standing alone, perhaps could be easily put.out of harm’s way, but in the heat of political excitement it is possible North ern influential Democrats may urge them on to deeds of desperation, and that in the end they will have the support of Andrew Johnson. It is important, then, that these revolu tionary movements be nipped in the bud. If there is any wholesome truth in the proverb that the time of peace is the time to prepare for war, there is no better opportunity to exemplify it than now. Arm the Union men South through the agency of the constituted State authorities, and in this way alone it is believed can peace be preserved. The howling dervishes of rebeldom may con tinue to howl, nevertheless; but, then, they dare not bite. The dangerous class iu the Northern cities, egged on by Democratic leade.3, are aroused as they have not been since they attempted to cooperate with Lee at Gettysburg, and are ready for almost any illegal act to secure the election of Seymour and Blair. Their lead ers have recently secured the inside track at the White House, and Tom Florence is authority for saying that they will have the active coOperation of the President in this campaign. The great obstacle in the way now is, Mr. Rollins, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The Attorney General having decided that he can not be legally removed and a successor ad interim ap pointed, under the qualified resignation of the Commissioner, Mr, Johnson has ex pressed a determination to prefer charges, which are now being prepared. If he suc ceeds in obtaining a pliant tool as Commis sioner, Mr. Johnson will be able to wield an immense power for good or evil. We can readily determine which it will be. There was never a more forcible illustra tion of Mr. Johnson’s penchant for med dling in small things or to assume doubtful powers than occurred a few weeks ago. There are several small military companies in the District made up mainly of colored mon who had some fighting experience during the late war. Their appearance on the avenue is always the occasion of ill-bred remarks by a certain class of un reconstructed loungers we have in our midst. The soldiers however, never take any notice of these demonstrations unless some violence is attempted—then acting upon their Cod-given right, they defend themselves to the best of their ability and generally successfully. In one scrimmage a sprig of chivalry got worsted and with his friends complaint was laid before the President, and he was urged io disband the companies as being dangerous to the peace of the community—Rebels particuiarly, such an order was actually transmitted through General Grant to Major General Emory, when the latter very quietly told the President that as marshal law did not exist in the District, he was afraid of get ting into trouble if he attempted to exe cute the order. Mr. Johnson, in his haste to save personal friends—and those friends of the class who stood ready in 1864, to aid Early in his demonstration upon Washing ton, forgot for the time that there was any other law in the premises except his own will! And such is the acting President of the United States to day; this man’s power for evil depends somewhat upon the watch ful care of Congress. As to his disposition to do evil there can be no question. The difficulty heretofore has been that he has lacked a party to back him in his unlawful proceedings ; but as matters look to day it would appear that Johnson is likely to lead the whole Democratic party into the camp of. those who violated their oaths and tried for four years to destroy the government to which they owed allegiance. ' The new building for the Agricultural Department, located on the island between Tenth and Fourteenth streets, is so nearly completed that the Commissioner has com menced moving his office into it from the Patent Office building. The building is large enough to enable the Commissioner of Agriculture to carry out the provisions of the Act creating the Department. A space will be devoted to each State for the special productions thereof, so that, by a visit to the building, a person desiring to settle in Geor gia, for instance, can see at a glance what the different soils of that State are capable of producing. The museum will not only contain specimeos of raw material, but also all the known manufactures thereof; and the insects, or whatever else endangers any pirticular crop, and thereinedy for the same, so far as is known. Particular attention will be paid io securing choice seed for distri bution, not indiscriminately, but judiciously, to persons who will cultivate and supply their immediate neighborhood, and report results to the Department for the benefit of the agricultural interest in general. Since writing the above, I have received additional information as to the designs of the Southern Democracy. The movement to control the negro vote through the agency of the land holders is something formidable. A letter writer says: “The system of terrorism, so successfully used in Mississippi, is now inaugurated in Tennes see, and is much more efficient and thor ough.” The same writer also Says “that the land holders are, by the agency of the Ku Klux, controlling the suffrage of the negroes, and unless some thorough and decided action shall be taken to vindicate the right* and privileges of the blacks, Tennessee must surely be lost” He also says that he has information from a trusty sourco that the Ku Klnx of Tennessee are thoroughly or ganised and armed to the number of one hun dred and sixty thousand, and that the twelve rebel Generals lately assembled, nt NashriUc arc leaders of too Klan, and that the osten sible purpose of the meeting at Nashville was not the real one, and that their fair talk was for strategical purposes.

Wade Hampton, Toombs, Forrest, Semmes, Blair, et id omne genus, are doubtless brave enough, and they utter what pass current in the South for “bold truths.” But, alas 1 for the northern democracy. They are no better help in this fight than they were in other.
