OUR PAPER.
The present Presidential campaign in
volves more Momentous consequences than
auy previous political contest in the history
of the country. The people of Georgia are
deeply interested in the result, and will
therefore, look forward to the developments
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 u measure this need, we will
mail The National Republican from
now to January 1, 1809, 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.

THE KU-KLUX ORGAN NAILING ITS
OWN LIES TO THE COUNTER.
The Ku-Klux organ, yesterday morning,
lias a weak imitation of Brick Pomeroy
in a column of slanderous denunciations of
Gov. Bullock. We quote, ami italicise,
the portion to which the attention of the
reader is invited, from one of the organ’g
charges against the Governor:
On mote than one occasion negro emissaries
have been detected in their efforts to organise a
conflict of raeec, who have publicly stated that
Bullock hail autboritod their seditions action,
and had promised to furnish arms for their secret
military organiiatioifs. These things tavo been
charged publicly against him through the Press,
and he has never in a tingle instance denied the
authority claimed by hit incendiary emissaries.
It will be seen that the dastardly author
of the above alleges that Gov. Bullock
•‘has nceer tn a single instance denied the
1 authority claimed by his incendiary etuis
’ sarics." Now we propose to permit the
. organ to nail its own lie to the counter, as
, it does by the publication of the Governor’s
5 message in the same issue with the above,
’ in which His Excellency declares:
And tv make known that no authority ka» been
granted by the Executive for the formation of
> *rtn*d or unarmed organization* of any kind or
character ; and that the drilling or cxereitiny in
military tactic*, with arms, of any organised bqdy
of men within this State, except the army of the
United States, w <Naut&ortzcd, unlawful, and
against the p«<rce and good order of the Slate,
> and must he immediately suspended.
’ Is this not au emphatic denial of the
j base and maliciously false charge of the
I unconscionable individual that docs the
heavy lying and slandering for the Ku
; Klux organ ? Is it not an overwhelming
i conviction of his want of truth, from the
1 columns of; his own paper : A stupid slan
, deror is beneath contempt. The Ku-Klux
( editor belongs to this class, as is shown in
, this article.
Ku-Klux Resolutions.—The following
j. resolves, adopted by an organization of the
. Ku-Klux-Klan in Raleigh, N. 0, has got

An Easy Way.—There is a very easy
way for the people to perpetuate peace, and
prevent the played-out Southern and North
ern politicians from inaugurating another
war. It can be done with a little strip of
paper. The names of the candidates for
electors on the Grant ticket should be on
each one of these effective little messengers
of peace.
THE COLUMBUS ENQUIRER AND
OURSELVES.
The Columbus Eniptirev, of the Hlh, has
a leading editorial, written in a spirit of
apparent candor and teal dignity which seems
to be intended as a reply to an editorial
which appeared in this paper some days
since. Our cotemporary misapprehends our
argument, unintentionally, we do it the jus
tice to infer, as the editor states that the
Republican, containing the argument to
which he replies, has been “ mislaid.” It is
not our Opinion that the right of colored men
to hold office is dependent on the provisions
of the Code, although that document clearly
sustains that right. A fair and legal inter
pretation of the intent and meaning of the
State Constitution establishes the right of
all citizens of a certain age—with the ex
ception of convicted felons, traitors, idiots,
insane persons, duelists, and 14th amend
ment exceptions—to bold office. When the
editor of the Enquirer hangs its argument on
the Code to sustain its unreasonable position,
it is simply guilty of the same folly that the
person was that erected a man of straw for
£he purpose of knocking him down. All
the vitality which the Code now possesses
was derived from the Constitutional Conven.
tion, which assembled under the reconstruc
tion laws, If the Convention, composed in
part of colored men, had not legalized a
portion of the Code, its requirements would
be of no more legal effect than a copy of the
adventures of’Roßixsox Crusoe.
The Enquirer admits that the Code de
aiares “citizens capable of holding office
but insists that “only white men were citi
zens when it was adopted, and they only
meant as the possessors ol this right." This
doctrine will not hold water. Were our
cotemporary asked why he contends that
Irvin’s Code is law, he could and would not
say that it is because it was adopted by the
General Assembly of Georgia prior to 1868.
No, he would promptly respond-. “It is the
law because the Constitutional Convention
legalized it, and the people ratified the act
of the Convention by popular vote iu April
last.” So, it is conclusive that the colored
man was made a citizen at the time the
Code was adopted, and the quibbling of our
cotemporary is an after thought.
The same instrument that gives the
colored citizen the right to vote gives him
the privilige of holding office. If the Code
prevents him form holding office it also pre
vents him from voting. The adoption of the
Code was as much the act of the Convention
as was the adoption of the Constitution itselb
and we are compelled to interpret its meaning
by the requirements of the new fundamental
law, and not ■by the old abrogated State
Constitution.
The Enquirer lays great stress on the
fact that the Convention voted down the
noted 10th section, which unnecessarily
used the term “colored in determining the
qualifications of office-holders. Our cotem--
porary would exhibit a spirit of fairness
if it would state that Mr. Waddell’s subse
quent proposition, denying to the negro the
right to hold office, was voted down.
Candor should compel the confession that
the refusal to adopt the Waddell section
denying to the negro the right to hold office,
settles the question as to the intentions of
the Convention in favor of the black man.
That the word colored is not used in the
Constitution amounts to nothing. The word
slave doos not oesur in the old Constitution
of the United States, yet there were few in
deed to doubt that that instrument recog
nized the legality of slavery to as great au
extent as it would have done if the servile
term had been inserted in the instrument
in glaring capitals by the Fathers.
Amon" all reasonable mon the following
points are settled beyond all cavil:
1. The Constitutional Amendment makes
all colored persons citizens without using
the term “colored.”
2. The Constitution of Georgia makes all
colored persons “citizens” without using the
term “colored.”
.’!. The Constitution of Georgia makes all
male colored citizens, above a certain age,
voters, without using the term “colored.”
4. The Constitution of Georgia gives all
colored “citizens,” o£ a certain age, and not
with certain disabilities, the right to hold
office, without menlfoning the term “col
ored.”
5. The Code of Georgia, adopted lust
April, gives the colored citizens the right to
hold office, without using the term "col
ored.”
Would he like the Job?—The editor of
the Columbus Suu, referring to the Gover
nor’s unanswerable message, says:
It is a pity that he (Gov. Bullock) did not
bear bis own message io that the House of Re
presentatives could here vindicated its soli'roi
pect by kicking both under the table.
We should not have objected to tlm Gov
ernor’s taking his message in person to the
House, provided the editor of the Suu had
been a member, and would have agreed to
have attempted the ."kicking” part himself.
The result would have been that the Sun
man would not have been able to have seen
hib own luminary for some days, and would
likewise have been feelingly iriiprossed
with the idea that an Express office' and
a Governor's mansion had suddenly ran
against him in a most uncomfortable manner.
— -A.
Hard Pushed for an Argument.—The
Dawson (Ga.) Journal, in attempting to
prove the incapacity of colored people to
vote, mentions the fact that a white mer
chant in Dawson gave one of the race Con
federate money, in change, and the negro
thought it was good. The darkie doubtless
knows by this time that the white Democrat
acted the thief, and probably thinks that he
has as much right to vote as such Democrats.
Reaction Against Seymour and Blair.
—The New York correspondent of the
Democratic organ in this city says there
is a reaction in the North against Seymour
and Blair. Os coarse there is, and the
reaction must be great indeed that wiP
cause the red-hot correspondent to admit it-
The wise men of the South will prepare for
the election of Grant. “ A word to the
wise, is sufficient.” Republicans will mark
those who now wish to proscribe and de
grade them.
<► • —,
—The cadets at West Point cost the gar
erument about $15,000.
DON’T KNOW THEIR BUSINESS.
The New York Sun, an independent
Democratic organ, is disgusted at the noto
riously bad management of the leaders of
the Seymour and Blaib parly. The Bun
forgets that “whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad.” The Democracy are
justly doomed to destruction, and it is per"
fectly nntnral that they should conduct the
canvass insanely. There is much wisdom
in the editor's criticism of the blunders of ite
friends, and from it the sensible business
men of the South will see the fatal disap
pointment to which the “played-out Southern
fire-eaters” are doomed :
“We are rather surprised that Mr. Pendle
ton is not extensively announced to speak in
Pennsylvania before the October election.
That State is really the only one that can be
called doubtful out of the three great com
monwealths that vote in October. It is there
that the Democracy ought to make their
great fight, and concentrate all their forces.
If they lose Pennsylvania, what will it avail
them to reduce the Radical majorities iu Ohio
and Indiana? It would be much better to let
the West go as hopeless, and put all their
money and all their great speakers into the
Keystone State. We should not presume to
offer this advice under ordinary circum
stances, but they have proven that they do
not know their own business, and need out
side help. Instead of nominating Chase
and Hancock, like men of discretion, on a
sound, progressive platform, such as that
which Judge Chase and Gov. ( Seymour ap
proved, they put themselves Into the lianas
of the played-out Southern fire-eaters, and
nominated Seymour and Blair oh a revolu
tionary, reactionary platform. After this
the sue eaters went home breathing the
flames of a new rebellion against the
United States, and raised the mischief with
the Democracy throughout the North. A
more fatal, a more stupid blupder was never
made.
“This proves, we say, that the Democratic
leaders don’t know their own business. The
business of politicians is success; and when
they arrange their affairs so that success is
impossible, they must be prououuccd
wretched bunglers- We tried to save them
from this fate, but they were deaf to truth
and experience, and madly resolved on
their own ruin. This want of practical
good judgment they seem bent on carrying
into the details of their canvass.
“It is rather a wonder they have now shown
the wisdom to keep their best orator out of
Illinois, where Grant is sure of from twenty
five to fifty thousand majority in spite of
everything to the contrary. But is only a
halfway wisdom after all. If they were
fully up to their work, they would let Ohio
and Indiana slide also, and apply every
thought, every fibre, every dollar, every
public speaker, and every hour’s time to a
herculean endeavor to rescue Penusylvania
from the hosts that threaten to overrun and
possess it, just as Meade’s army overrun and
passed ths field of Gettysburg. We give
them this advice out of kindness, and-for
the sake of autd lang sync. They need it
terribly, and if a truth ot awful import can
impress it upon their minds, we will add this
solemn warning: To lose Pennsylvania in
October is to endanger New York in No

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
New York, Sept. 8, 1868.
Dear Republican :
The James Adger steamship left Charles
ton on Saturday forenoon. A poop woman
from Canada, steerage passenger, gave
birth prematurely to a child, a few hours
after starting. Our kind-hearted Captain
placed it state-room at her disposal, and
every attention was paid to her wants. The
child died on Sunday morning at nine
o’clock, and at “ seven beiis" (uaif-past
eleven) the U. S. Flag was hoisted half
mast, the impressive prayers for the dead,
as found in the Episcopal service, were
recited very eloquently by C. E. Chichester,
of Charleston, an<L the form of the little
innocent was cast into the briny deep.
Everybody seemed much impressed with
the solemnity of the burial at sea. On the
next morning a couple of gentlemen went
around among the passengers, and suc
ceeded in collecting thirty dollars to assist
the poor unfortunate mother.
, The wind began to blow rather hard, but
iu our favor—sails were hoisted, and away
we sped to our destination. Fortunately
we liud a first-rate, jolly, pleasant set of
passengers aboard. From Augusta there
were Peter Keener, Robert Carroll, George
A. Gates and niece. Our sister city Charles
ton was also ably represnted.
Colonel “Sandy” Brown, of Charleston
the inimitable story-teller, had a fund of
anecdotes on hand to relieve the usual
monotony of a sea-voyage, and well did ho
fulfil his mission.
Appreciating fully the kindness and
attention shown us on the voyage by C«p
tain Lockwood, .the passengers resolved, as
a slight testimonial of their respect, to
present a sorioa of resolutions to the Captain
and bit; ship.
ÜBOCEKIHXUS.
At a meeting of the passengers held ou
board the steamer James Adger, on Monday,
September 7tb, on her last trip from Charles
ton to New -York, Col. A. H. Brown, of
Charleston, In tire Chair, the following pre
amble and resolutions were uuauimously
adopted :
Whereas. Upon the passage from Charles
ton to New York, we have experienced the
utmost kindness and attention from the
Captain and officers of the vessel, and have
bad 4ully demonstrated the superior advan
tages and sea-worthiuess of the steamer;
therefore, »
Resolved, That our thanks are due and
hereby tendered to Cppt. Thomas Lockwood
for his constant care and attention to the
comfort of his passengers, and for the ex
cellent manner in which the vessel has been
managed in all its departments; and that
we heartily tuid cordially recommend the
steamship James Adger to the travelling
public as being unsurpassed in her accom
modations, eomfort, cleanliness, and general
aea-wcritiinevs.
Resolved, that the above resolutions be
published in the New York, Charleston (8.

Col. Brown was chosen to present the

did iu his usual happy strain, to which

Thus ended, to nearly seventy passengers,
ptie of the pleasantest trips ever made “on

A LETTER FROM THE GEORGIA
REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COM
MITIEE. *
Tkc Philadelphia Press of to-day says:
“ The fbn.oyring letter, from the Chairman
of the Republican State Executive Commit
tee of Georgia, was written previous to- the
expulsion of the colored members by the
Legislature, and is addressed to the Repub
lican Congressional Committee :
“ The Democrats have inaugurated a new
revolution in this State. They intend to
overthrow the State government. The first
step has been taken, or rather commenced.
We have good evidence that they intend to
expel the colored members of the House,
and then expel the colored members of the
Senate, and seat Democrats in their places.
They will then have two-thirds of the House;
hut if they should not have, white Republi
cans enough will be expelled to give them
two thirds. They will in the same way get
control of the Senate. ' A bill will then be
passed to take the Slate railroads from the
control of the Government and give it to the
General Assembly. The patronage of the
State roads is immense, and with it in their
hands they expect to control the Assembly.
They then intend to impeach the Governor
and remove him ; after that God only knows
what they will do.”
After appealing to Congress to prevent the
expulsion of the colored members, the letter
continues:
“ Our voters will have no protection at the
polls, and there is a great danger of blood
shed ; but I do not know that Congress can
ds anything for us. We are not in as good
condition as other Southern States, for they
have Republican Legislatures, but the Dem
ocrats control ours. They can pass laws to
protect yours, but we can not. We have
trustworthy information that the Democrats
are arming in every part of the State, and
everything is being done that can be to
prevent the colored men from arming. Un
less Congress does something for us, God
only knows the result in many parts of the
State. Our party is composed almost en
tirely of colored men. It the whites attempt
to interfere with them at the polls, and there
is every reason to believe they will, blood
shed will follow. Can Congress do anything
for us? Our General Assembly will do
nothing to preserve peace; will Congress do
it.— N, Y. Tribune.

CORRECTION
Editor Republican:
Your correspondent, “ Curley Q.,” refer
ring to the Lee pronunciamento, in yester
day’s Republican, speaks of General Bose
cranz as a “military adventurer.” In reply
to “ Curley Q.,” I will state that General
Rosecranz was born in the city of Cincin
nati, and is a brother of the Catholic Bishop
of that place. He was educated at West
Point, and served his country for more than
eighteen years, until the close of the late
war, when he resigned his commission of
General, and retired to private life. Though
he was at one time unfortunate as com
mander of the Army of the Cumberland, he
was universally beloved by officers and sol
diers, and certainly no man less deserves
the name of “adventurer” than ho.
The opposition press styles General Grant
a “soldier of fortune,” but such petty at
tempts at detraction only serve to gain our
great commander new friends.
“ Honor to whom honor is due.”
“ Old Soldier.”

WaxitEAS, Law abiding citizens from ipauv
soctiena of the State unite in communications to
this Department, setting forth that misguided
persona are stirring up strife among the people
by unlawful acts #f violence against the person
and property of oltizons, on account bf politi oa |
opinion; and that persons distinguished f or
their hostility to tho Government of the United
States, and of this State, arc promoting said acts
of violence by publicly denouncing the laws as
revolutionary, unconstitutional and voidr-and
declaiming in a mannner tending to excite re
sistance to the lawful authority of the State, and
to persuade others to join in a combined resist
ance to, and a disregard of tho civil rights of
citizens ; and whereas, it is further communi
cated that tho inevitable result of said acts of
violence and insurrectionary appeals is already
becoming manifest in the rapid spread of a dis
position on tho part of those who maintain the
validity of the laws of Congress, and of the State
Governments established thereunder, to protect
themselves by arms from said acts of violence
and from said combinations against their civil’
rights; and whereas, the Gyneral Assembly has
adopted the following preamble and resolution
“ Whereas, It being the practice of a portion of
tho citizens of this State to assemble in Urge
numbers with arms, for the purpose of exorcisin’:-
in military tactics, and for other unlawful pur
poses, without authority of law, and to tho terror
of the good citizens thereof: Resolved, there
fore, by the Senate and House of Representative-
That His Excellency tho Governor bo and ho is
hereby respectfully requested tp issue his procla
maton prohibiting such armed and unlawful
assemblages. But the right of the people t 0

prompt and respectful obedience to tho officers
of the law under all circumstances; and also
charging upon the said officers tho exercise of
groat vigilance, that the majesty of the civil
may be vindicated, and great caution that all
thoir acts may bo fully justified by aud done in
pursuance of our Constitution and laws. And
to make known that no authority has been
granted by the Executive for tho lormation of
armed or unarmed organizations:, any kind or
