About 30 women to 100 men, and generally the epidemic rages among those past sixty years, who conse quently have but little to hope for in this world. The minimum of suicide* occur in Winter; the maximum itj Sammer. The modes most common are hnnging and drown ing. It is curious that few drown them selves in Winter —thus- showing a sensi bility to pain in this supreme act of despair. NalionaLßepublicctix AtTaUSTA.

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 into the papers of that State. They express : the opinions of the K-Ks of Georgia : Revolved, That this is a white man’s ‘ government. , ■ Resolced, That negroes shan’t vote or ■ bold office. Resolved, That we are white men. Resolved, That we are respectable. 1 Resolved, That wc are intelligent. Resolved, That all Ku-Klux arc gentle men. Resolced, That none but Ku-Klux are ■ gentlemen. 1 Retdred, That we belong to the best 1 society. ’ Resolved, That any negro man who votes our ticket is a colored mon. 1 Resolved, shat any negro wlrn don’t vote our ticket is a nigger. RuolMd, That we will speak well of all who vote for us. Resolved That we will abuse all who don’t , vote for us. Resolved, That we wish we had our nig gers back in slavery. Resolved, That we wish wc had some body to work for us. ■ ■ ll « 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 vember 1” 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. C.) and Augusta (Ga.) newspapers. E. H. PUoBR, C. E. CmcnilsrEH, . E. Horry Frost, W. S. Adams, G. A. Oates, Committee. Col. Brown was chosen to present the above resolatious to the Captain, which he did iu his usual happy strain, to which Caphrin'Lovrwoon responded in a few ap propriate remarks. Thus ended, to nearly seventy passengers, ptie of the pleasantest trips ever made “on the salt sea." P. . • ♦.» - —Baltimore is laying, down the Nicolson pavemeut, i. 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. [Communicated. 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.” [We have no idea that our correspondent “Curley Q.,” in the use of the words “ mili tary adventurer,” intended the least reflec tion on Gen.
