Fortunately lire line of oil was broken above • and below the fire, and the engines prevented the flames from setting fire to anything on shore. So hemmed in, the fire was gradu ally extinguished for want of fuel. —A big swindle in Jersey City has been exposed. Several months ago a man named Logan purchased some old charters and started five insurance companies, called Mariners’, Merchants’, Mechanics,’' Fire mens’, and First National.

The present Presidential campaign in volves more momentous consequences than any previous political contest in the history of the country. The people of Georgia aft? deeply interested iu the result, and will therefore, look forward to the development® of the campaign with increasing interest. The dissemination of reliable news, and of sound constitutional views on the important issues of the day are essential to the success of the Republican party. To supply in a measure this need, we will mail The National Republican from now to January 1, 1860, at the low rate of $1.50. We appeal to the old supporters of the Republican to aid us in extending its circulation. We pledge ourselves to devote all our energy and ability to the success of the great cause in which the Union Repub lican Party is embarked; and to spare neither labor nor expense in making The National Republican a useful and reliable newspaper. Specimen copies sent free to any address A QUESTION IF, NOT CASTE. The Columbus Enquirer of the 34 thus states the question before the Legislature : If it confers upon thorn (colored mon) this right, no Democrat will sock to deprive them of it while that Constitution is the prevailing fun damental law of the State. If it does not confer on them the right to hold office, both tho Demo cratic and Radical members of the Legislature are bound by (Heir oath* to rapporttbc Constitu tion to vote for tho expulsiou of the negro mem bers' Tho question ought not to be, and probably will not be, made one of parly. It is purely a question of law. Our cotemporary fairly states the ques tion. It should not have been one-of part y politics, or of caste. It was simply a question of law, and the Constitution of the State and of the United States were the only documents that oould be properly consulted. The Enquirer correctly insists that the Representatives were “bound by their oaths" to decide in accordance with the provisions, and \ve ns positively insist that every intelligent member that voted for turning out the twenty-three on Thurs day violated their oaths. There is no use in mincing this matter. There is no c»ca]>e from 1 one or the other horn of the dilemma j the members so voting were either too stupid to understand the law, or too • wicked to abide by it. It is criminally • fallacious for the Enquirer and other Dem ocratic prints to quote from the journals of the Constitutional Convention to show , what that body did not do. Instead of quoting articles that were proposed in the Convention and voted down, if they wpre disposed to deal Honestly with their read ers, they would quote those articles which ;• were actually adopted. As ratified by the i people, the Constitution of Georgia says that every citizen, twenty-one years ot age, , not insane, a convicted felon, an idiot, or a Fourteenth Article exception, may be elected to the House of Represen tatives. It further says that negroes arc citizens. The Fourteenth Article so declares them. What . Democrat will assert that the negro is not a citizen ' Will ■ the Enquirer deny that they are citizens I We trow not. Then, if the claim of citi zenship is admitted, the question is already settled. There is no room for discussion. The Democratic papers dare not publish the provisions of the new Constitution bearing on this subject, but they arc willing to slander the Republican party by misrepresenting a document which is unequivocal in its declaration of the rights of all men. 11 • Will tub Democrats Usurp Seats not their own ?—We are curious to sec whether the Democrats in the half of a House of Representatives will have the unblushing im pudence to seat tweuty-tliree candidates re jected by the people as representatives of the very people who refused their proffered services. P. 8. Since the above was written, our special announces that the House yesterday proved itself equal to any infamy. The rejected candidates are to bo seated. The voice of the people is to be throttled. The Constitution is to be trampled under foot. Bigotry, brass and treason arc trumps, and the Democrats have a full hand. The Twenty-Three Rejected will solemnly swear to support the new Constitution (for nine dollars a day) and then make a united effort to overthrow the State Government. The Democrats already in the House, aud those elected to stay out, but who are to burgla riously break in, are lovely cubs of Red Hot Brick Pomerot. Peijury is to be respecta ble, treason popular, and usurpation all the rage. FALiE PROPHETS. If the Democrats ever had any hope of electing their candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, the result of the election In Vermont must have convinced the in that tlieir fond dreams of victory had no reality in them. Their leaders have no such hopes, they know with absolute cer tainty that the election of Seymour and Blair is an absolute impossibility, yet they persist in holding out some hope to their blind and deluded followers. If they lie nlwut what they know how can it lx* expected they will do otherwise than lie about what they only foresee. To any ono who has studied the tactics of the Democracy, the falsification of their promises in relation to Vermont is not at all surprising—their game is brag. Pre vious to any election they will make a great parade of the successes they expect to have and the States they intend to carry. Thus in the case of Vermont, they told their dupes that though they did not expect to carry the State the Republican majority would be seven to ten thousand less than that of last year; that was the calculation of their chief organ the N. 1". JForW, and the World was followed by all the lesser lights throughout the country. What turns out to be the case ? Instead ol the Republican majority having decreased, it has increased more than the amount by which the World said it would be diminish ed. Such is the reliance to be placed in Democratic prophecies. Wc regard the Vermont election as ol greater importance than its tangible results. It is of some importance to the country that the noble little State still holds fast to her Republican moorings, but the signifinance of her large augmented majority is of still greater importance. Democratic prophecies and hopes of the resurrection of their detestable ami traitor ous party—of great gains, on account of a revulsion in public sentiment at the North, and the final triumph of what they call their principles in tho election ot their Presidential candidates have proved vain and delusive. The event has demonstrated that, so far from the patriotism which animated the people during the war having died out. love for the Union, and hatred of those who would destroy it, exist in more vigorous vitality, and the result is an indication, sure and unresista blc. that the ideas which prevailed then are in full activity now, strengthened and made more vigilant by tire utterances of Southern orators and newspapers. The people of the North cannot misunderstand the signs of intended revolution on the prat of those who, only a few years since, plunged the country into war by the same process which they are now practicing, and it is to Hill, Toombs, Cobb, and the like, that Republicans owe, in part, the success which has thus far attended them, and will continue, till it cuds in the election of Grant and Colfax. - ———- The Constitution.*-The Democrats are loud-mouthed friends of the Constitution. They do not, however, mean the Constitu tion ‘as it is,’ but 'as it was.’ The ghost of the Lost Cause is ever-present with them, and the sentiment of revolution is the vitalizing spirit of their organization. They do not admit the principle of cither change or progress. In their estimation, every thing must be set back to where the Demo crats left it when the supposed ‘last of the Presidents' . vacated the White House. Therefore, the amendments must be re pealed, the reconstruction acts declared void, and the ex-rebels again put in a position to exemplify the doctrine of ‘State sovereignty.’ ‘The Constitution ns it was’ is what the Democrats are struggling for. That Setti.ee It.—An . old colored woman in Columbus having donned tl}o mourner’s weeds, in token of sorrow for (he death of a young Democrat, the .heralds the fact as a “Nut for Rajlical Howlers.” Well, that settles the question that Democratic principles are right and Republican principles wrong. That an old woman is sorry for a dead Democrat is a clinching argument against General Grant. For our part, we aro not only sorry for the dead, but also for many of the live ones -and for none inOre than the poor idiot that thinks the incident he records is a “nut" hard to crack. • Rebel Editor’s Opinion of Jeff. Davis as a Commission Merchant.—ln his weekly political pamphlet, entitled “The Lost Cause Regained," Mr. E. A. Pollard denounces Mr. Davis as “ a narrow-brained charlatan,” for his committing the “ last ififamy in sell ing out the honors of the Confederacy, on his personal account, to a mercantile house of Liverpool" He winds up with this anathema: “Shame upon the man, a blis tering mark upon the caitiff, curses upon tho wretch who has dune this paltry and flagitious thing 1" All but conceited asses and seedy aristocrats will commend Mr. Davis for attempting to earn a legitimate support in an honest and honorable calling. The only regret is that ho did not turn commission merchant ten years sooner. W"' • Questions. —If the provisions of the Con stitution giving to “ each House power to judge of the election returns and qualifica tions of its own members' ’ authorizes the turning out of all the colored members, what would be the consequence if the Senate, acting for itself, should decide colored Senators eligible? What would the Democrats and diluted Republicans do about it ? And if the House of Representatives to be elected two years hence, should, in judg ing of the election returns and qualification of its members, by a majority vote, decide that colored members were eligible, then what would the Democrats and diluted Re publicans do about it? Would not the negro then be eligible? Ate we to have a biennial contest over thia eligibility question? By reflecting over these questions, the reader will see how utterly contemptible is the claim that the clause of the Constitution referred to authorizes the proscription of a class from' the rights guaranteed to every | citizen. A VOICE FROM VIRGINIA. The following trenchant letter, written by one of Virginia’s most worthy sons, a 1 relative by marriage of the family of Gen. 1 Lee, is one of the most straightforward and i truthful excoriations that has met our eye. i Read, and hand to your neighbor: < Sin: I have the honor to acknowledge i the invitation of your Committee to address the Grant and Colfax ratification meeting, to be held in Richmond on the 25th instant, and would gladly accept it but for my unavoidable absence from the State at that time. For all the poverty, anguish and oppression which the people of Virginia and the whole South have endured with unexampled fortitude from April 17, 1861, down to this very moment, the Democratic party is, in my humble judgment, wholly responsible ; and all the odium which they have succeeded in attaching to the Repub lican party, the Democracy richly deserve. The peace and prosperty of the whole country and the existence of the Federal Union is now more defiantly threatened than in 1860. Then warlike intent was indignantly disclaimed. To-day it is pub licly declared that “secession is not dead; that the lost cause is to be regained,’ and that, in the event of the election of Seymour and Blair, it is substantially declared that the Federal army shall be compelled to sub vert the loyal State Governments now es tablish «d. Neither by the- bullet or the ballot can those State Governments be sub verted for some time to come, without in volving the whole country in a war of such magnitude and horror that in comparison with which the late rebellion was a pastime. In fact, the Democracy are already as bad as their word,- and even now a merciless, savage warfare, to the extent of their power, is waged against all men, white or black, native or foreign born, who do not enlist under tlieir banner, Slavery more intoler able than that which has just passed away exists in full force throughout Virginia— the enslavement of the human mind. The exercise of the right of private judgement and freedom of speech is sought to be punished or controlled by the most inhuman denunciations,slanders and threats of social, political and commercial outlawry. Blair pledges war, Grant pledges peace, and I honestly bclieVe that upon the election of Gen. Grant the peace and happiness of our people wholly depend. Very respectfully yours, Robert Bolling. Inciting Revolution. —The New York Democrat, the new advocate of the simon pure Democracy, thus tries to fan the flame of revolution : ‘ The factory lords and money lords tire treading upon dangerous ground. They aro pushing the people beyond their patience to endure. They will provoke rev olution,’ This game of representing as imminent what the incendiary wishes to see accom plished, is an old one. The meal on that cat is not thick enough to amount to a dis guise. The people will not precipitate a revolution because tho Democrats, who want a revolution, tell them there is danger of one. AH the danger there Is lies with the copperhead and confederate Democrats. War Democrats and Republicans will vote together for Grant, Peace and Union. Dilemma—Now that the Democrats pro pose taking to themselves the glory of free ing the ‘nigger,’ as well as of putting down their own rebellion, and are making efforts to secure the negro vote, the question naturally arises: If the negroes go with the Demo crats and elect Seymour and Blair, will this be a‘white man’s government’? Once in power, will the Democrats bo so ungrate' ful as to summarily dispose of the ‘nigger,’ or will they consent to have a mongrel Dem ocratic Government ? Fortunately there is no danger of their getting into the dilemma: for the good sense of the people will elect Grant and thus save the Democrats from themselves. Prefers Bradley.—Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, the mischievous incendiary, haying announced himself as an independent candi date for Congress, against Dr. Glift, the regular Republican nominee, the Savannah Republican, edited by u Northern Demo’ cratic bummer, announces his preference for the former. Schenck on Blau:.—During .« recent public address, General Robert C. Schenck, Val.CAxdioHAM's opponent for Congress referred to JFrank Blair in the following terms: Frank Blair is a difforont sort of fellow. No body talks about Frank as particularly genial or cultivated. He is gonial and jolly enough, especially whoa he has, well, say two or throe glasses. ! Laughter.] lie is the best Blair of the family. I want to say . that for biin, for Frank has a great, many good streaks, though he has a great many devilish ones. He is a nat ural rowdy. He is one of the b-’hoys. Although he may have some of the treachery which char acterizes the whole family, I think ho is better than that snakoy, sly, cunning brother of his, old Montgomery. Frank Blair was a soldier in the war, and seems to have made his order for whiskey very large) Ax Old Clerk.—A Washington letter writer thus speaks of a remarkable govern ment officer: The oldest employee of the Treasury Department is confined to his room by reason of sickness -for the first time for ,more than fifty years. Charles Vincent is particularly interesting as one of the con necting links between the past and the present. He was born in Maryland; entered business while young, in George town ; failed about the time the Govern ment was removed from Philadelphia to this city, and entering ‘he Treasury De partment at that time as a clerk, he has occupied the same position in the Depart ment ever since*—a period of more than sixty-four years. He has shaken hands with every President, from Washington down to Andrew Johnson. His faculties remain unimpaired, and he is au encyclo pedia of all that pertains to this Govern ment from its earliest foundation. —e ♦ ♦- “ The Wickedest Man’’ as a Politician. —From a brief article in the New York Sun, we infer that John Allen, ‘‘the wickedest man in New York,” an account of whose reformation we published yester day, has an eye on ar Democratic Congres sional nomination. John Morrissey, the pugilist and £iro dealer being a Congress man, why not the “Wickedest Man?” The Sun naively remarks: “We desire to see ono member of Con gress of-whom it may be said, “His wicked ness belongs to the past.” - ■— —Mr. Beecher's recipe.for making coffee is as suggestive as it is “ Beecherish:” . “The best way I know of to makegood coffee,” said he, “istogo to the principal ' hotels, restaurants, railroad eating houses; etc., and ascertain just how they make coffee—their make it as the don’t” THE A SURE 11 JONES' DELAY. We subjoin the communication transmit ted to the Legislature by his Excellency Governor Bullock, on Thursday last, to which reference was had in yesterday’s Re publican. To say the least of it, Colonel Joses’ delay to make a final settlement seems strange. We copy from the New Era: Executive Defahtmkkt, I Atlanta, Ga., September 3,1868. J To the Senate and House of Representatives: The financial affairs of the State demand ing prompt and efficient attention, to the end that her credit may be protected and pro moted by the adoption of proper measures, I have used every means at my command, short of an appeal to the courts, to secure a settlement between the officers who were removed by the United States authorities and the officers elected by the General Assembly. By the enclosed communication from the Treasurer, lion. N. L. Angier, it will be seen that upon the last appeal made to the late Ereasurer for a delivery of his trust, the remarkable plea for delay is given, that he is erecting a warehouse, and that, therefore, his private affairs are too pressing to permit of immediate attention to matters of vital im portance to the whole people. I have been informed by the Comptroller Genera], Hon. Madison 8011, that the late Comptroller is waiting for n settlement be tween the late and the present Treasurer, before making a final and full delivery of books, papers, etc., in that Department. An expression of the will the General Assembly is respectfully invited. Treasurer's Office, ( Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2, 1868. j His Excellency Rufus 11 Bullock, Governor of Georgia, Atlanta : Sir—Yours of the 2d instant, making inquiries concerning the indebtedness of the State, and the means adopted to meet the same, was duly received this a. m. Feeling the force and necessity of your inquiries, I regret to be compelled to reply, that we have not the data upon which to base anything approaching a satisfactory answer. In compliance with your instruc tions, and the action of the General Assembly, on the 10th ultimo, I hastened to Milledgeville, hoping to be able to get an inside view into the condition of the Treasury, with its liabilities, if not a full settlement and transfer of books and papers. While there I failed to effect either, though my predecessor, Colonel Jones, was there, to whom I communicated my mission by letter, making a demand, etc., aud received the response that he would be in Atlanta the following Monday (August 17th), for full settlement. On the 15th of August, Colonel Jones wrote that, from indisposition, he would not be able to come for settlement until the last of the following week. He failed to meet either appointment, and I heard nothing further from him until the 30tb, dated at Milledgeville, August 28th, stating that he found his business such that he was forced to go to New York, from whence he had just returned, and would be here on the 31st. To-day I received another letter, stating that he was erecting a warehouse, the cotton season boing near at hand, workmen sick, causing his private affairs to be so pressing that he could not come before Monday next. Several letters have been received, urging the payment ofdhe State bonds and coupons past due, and I have been compelled to reply, no funds in hand, though there ipust be of seven-twenty State bonds unsold, more than sufficient to meet present liabilities. Col. Jones further stated, that he had no funds belonging the Treasury, aud also stated that he was not seeking to delay a settlement, “ but entirely ready and anxious to get the load off his shoulders." Very respectfully submitted, N. L. Angier, Treasurer. • ♦ ♦ -■— STATE NEWS. We learu that 511 bales of the new crop passed over the Muscogee Railroad yester day from Montgomery, bound for New Yoik via Savannah.— Columbus Times. The Journal d* Messenger states that a chap with “brass enough to make a kettle and lip enough to fill it,” named L. W. Kirby, has been victimizing people in that community and stealing everything he can lay hands on. The same fellow has been in Augusta. As heretofore stated in the liepublican, Charles I*. Wilson, nged about fourteen years, sou of Edward G. Wilson, deceased, left tlie residence of his mother, in Gordon Block, in this city, on Monday morning last, at about nine o’clock, for the purpose of shooting birds. He had a double barreled fowling piece, a powder flask, a shot-pouch and game-bag. He was accompanied by a little son of Aldermau Gue, about eight years of age. The two went to the batte ries and remained together until about twelve o’clock, when Alderman Gue's son, having left home without the knowledge of his parents, and desiring to be at home when bis father came to dinner, determined to leave Charles, and they separated near the toll gate on the White Bluff road. When Charles failed to come home by nine o’clock in the evening, Aldermau Gue’s son told his father whefe, and at what time he left' Charles. As Charles had never been known to remain from home later than nine o’clock in the evening, his family and friends became alarmed, and his brother and Alderman Gue immediately mounted their horses and searched for him, without success, until midnight, when they returned to the city. R. Wayne Wilson, brother of the deceased, E. A. Caldwell, Wm. H. Bennett, Henry Tow, and Francis Mendel), a lad about six teen years of age, and a son of E. Meudeel, Deputy Sheriff of Chatham county, and a large number of other persons, have been engaged in the search, day and night, since Tuesday morning last, and yesterday, a re ward having been offered for the body, dead or alive, a large additional force turned out to search for the lost boy. As the gentlemen above named were riding iu the neighborhood of Battery No. 16, on the high land, about one o'clock on yester day, their attention was attracted by a flock of buzzards flying over a little grove of pines in Norton's old field. As they approached the grove, they saw buzzards running on the ground, and when they arrived at that point they found the body lying on the back, with the hands closed on each side of the head. The body was near to an old rice ditch about a foot and a half deep, and about four hundred yards from 'Battery No. 16. The body had no appearance of having been moved after he tell. There was nothing to show that there had been any struggle, except a small suppling about ten feet from ttie body, which was broken. His clothing had not been dis turbed, and his hat lay near his head where it would naturally have dropped when he fell. His game bag was lying near bis side, and a blue army uniform jacket lying at his feet. His gun, powder flask, and shot pouch were gone. The Coroner, Dr. Thomas C. Harden, was notified, and promptly summoned a jury, con sisting of the following named gentlemen, to-wit: E. S-Fulton, foreman ; H. H. Sas nett, S. C. Farr, John Wolber, John W. Hunter, and George P. Gray. The jury found the following verdict: “.We, the jury, find that Charles P. Wilson came to his death by a gnnshot wound in flicted by some person unknown to the jury.” | Savannah Republican. The most awful storm, perhaps, that ever passed over this city, occurred last night be tween seven and nine o’clock. It was accom panied by the loudest peals of thunder and incessant flashes of lightning. About half past eight o’clock the wind blew a perfect gale. We never saw more water fall in the same space of time. The streets, alleys aud sewers were everywhere flooded with water, and must have sustained great damage. At this hour of the night it is impossible to tell the amount of damage done, but it must have been very great.— Journal Messenger, A th. Tho Macon Messenger says the Macon Manufacturing Compauy is now running on half time. His Honor, JuJgo James W. Greene, has announced that he will hold Court in Jackson on the second Monday, the 14th instant, and in Covington on the third Monday, the 21st. | Covington Enterprise. General Grant from a Rbbel Stand point.—Mr. Pollard, editor of the Richmond Examiner, and the historian of the “lost cause,” gives ’he following account of Gen- Grant’s conduct at the surrender of Lee. Pollard says : Indeed, this Federal commander had, in the closing scenes of the contest, behaved with a magnanimity and decorum that must ever be remembered to his credit, even by those who disputed his reputation in other respects, and denied his claims to great gen eralship. He had, with remarkable facility, accorded honorable and liberal’terms Jo the vanquished army. Ho did nothing to dra matize the surrender ; he made no triumphal entry into Richmond; he avoided all those displays of triumph so dear to the Northern heart; he spared everything that might wound the feelings or imply the humiliation of a vanquished foe. There were no inde cent exultations no “sensations,” no shows ; he received the surrender of his adversary with every courteous recognition due an honorable enemy, and conducted the closing scenes with as much simplicity as possible. • A Dialogue.—Col. G. (rabid secesh.) “Well, uncle Billy, you must vote with me for Sey mour and Blair this time.” Billy (old cute darkey). “Well, I did think, Kurnel, I would vote for Mr. Grant dis time, being as I never voted for him before.” Col. G. “But that’s voting for the Rads, and what the h—l have those rascally Re publicans done for you ? you ain’t got your forty acres yet.” Billy. “Well, Kurnel, they done paid me for voting ’ready ; dey gin me my freedom, dem Rads did.” SPECIAL NOTICES.
