BOH TOONHX, HOWELL COBB AND
BEN HILL.
We have hitherto repeatedly acknowl
edged the great benefit and advantage the
Republican party have derived from the
speeches delivered by these gentlemen
since the campaign commenced, both in
Atlanta and elsewhere. Wc now propose
to show wherein, particularly at this time,
constitutes *tlie attraction of those ad
dresses to arrest the attention of their
readers everywhere, and which produce a
different effect from that intended by their
distinguished authors. Without further
reface we say that they display an open,
manly, honest expression of unrelenting
opposition and hatred on their part to the
Government of the United States. They
deserve and should receive full credit for
an honest desire to see our people engaged
in another war more dreadful than can be
imagined or expressed, sooner than submit
to the process of time to remedy the evils
of which they complain, and which they
have beeu so conspicuously instrumental in
bringing upon the country. We have
been most egregiously misled and deceived
by their past declarations if wc conld
conic to any other conclusion. If such is
not the direct tendency of their conduct
and influence, they have been most tin.
fortunate in the impressions they have made
on tlic public mind, and justice to their
followers who openly avow revolution to
be their purpose, should prompt an im
mediate retraxit of what has emanated
from them, since their recent appearance
as leaders in the great struggle now going
on.
It will be well in this connection to Re
member the relation these gentlemen have
borne, and are still leaving, to the Federal
Government since the surrender. They
were captured with arms against its author
ity. Instead of being sent out of the
country and deprived of their property
as the laws of nations would have justified'
they have been permitted to remain here
and enjoy it. They are now under the
ban and displeasure of the Government—
not permitted to hold Office. Notwith
standing all this, they sit in judgment on
the acts of the law-making power, and do
not hesitate to pronounce tljeni unjust, op
pressive, tyrannical and unconstitutional.
Forgetful of the past., and unmindful of
the present heart-broken and .impoverished
condition of our once hapjjw, contented,
and prosperous country, they gather up
assemblies of confiding people, and appeal
to their pride anil impulsive nature, and in
exciting harangues familiarize their winds
with a coining conflict, the horrors of
which will bear no marc comparison to
what they have already endured and suf
fered than does this most gentle breeze of
spring to the howling tempest of winter.
W e can only account for all this disre
gard and contempt on -their part ot the
courtesy and forbearance of government,
which other gentleman similarly situated
have at least by their silenee, acknowl
edged, on the ground of a dcep-Scated
hostility to it which it was impossible
longer to restrain when such opportunities
are offered for its expression. Only in low
and unauthorized litterings in private
company had this evil spirit of discon
tent heretofore been indulged. But now
the State is in the Union, and under the
flag that has thus far protected them, they
bid defiance to all propriety, and enjoy for
once after a long abstinence a rich feast of
revenge against the government and all its
friends—in a victory of abuse and de
nunciation, which no people, situated as
we are, have ever been called bn to_read.
hear and submit to.
The law-abiding and peaceful citizens of
the United States, we repeat, arc under
everlasting gratitude to these bold and
desperate leaders of this new nullification
organization, under the disguise of Democ
racy, for a full display of their colors in
time to counteract the evils which more
timid champions might have brought upon
tlie country, Had these gentlemen lieen
more artful in the use of language, which
Talleyrand says was intended to conceal
rather than to express thought—more
plausible, less definite in their programme
of resistance to the reconstruction measures
of Congress, more cautious in referring to
the means by which they are to be set
aside, they might not have excited the
fears of the suspicious capitalists, the hon
est plodding farmer might have remained
in his fiekl unconscious of the impending
dangers, and the hard working mechanic,
whose bread is made in the honest way
pointed out by God, might have Iwen
caught before he knew it in anotju r jtoor
man’s fight of a rich man’s making.
But it really seems that Providence, in
this attempt of their leaders to bring
about another collision with the Govern
ment, has permitted their zeal and rashness
to overthrow them and their cause. There
is too much intelligence and patriotism in
our country for unsuccessful revolutionists,
who have once made such a signal failure
in this unprofitable business, long to rule
ajid domineer as they have been doing.
By the laws of mind, reaction will follow
an excess of excitement. Reason anti
judgment will after a while assert their
right to control the conduct of rational
men. Passion ami prejudice may have
their sway for a time, but prudence and
self-interest will step iu to count the cost,
and to inquire how long will this thing
continue, when, where and what will be
the end of it at last. Have I got more
money than is necessary for the support of
my family i Do I wish to embark all that
I have left of inyoncc ample independence
in another political adventure, brought
about by the empty declamation of a few
disappointed politicians ?. Do 1 wish to
have all that are dear to me turned out of.
house and home by a conquering foe, when
those who have brought this second calam
ity upon the land have escaped with their
means to some foreign country ? This is the
other side of the question, which
these distinguished agitators fail to
present. But they give the people
credit for a very little old-fashioned, com
mon sense, if they suppose that when they
arc at home and by themselves in their
fields ami workshops, such reflections as
we have above described do not come to
them with a power and matter-of-fact force
that causes them to sicken at the thought
of another revolution in this country. When
such views, so full of force and reality,
take control of the minds of our people, it
will manifest itself in sych a change of
public sentiment as the emergency and
perilous condition of our affairs demand.—
The people will silently, one by one, retire
from the support of a cause that has de
pended on continued and malignant
abuse and vituperation for its success, and
unite together as independent men, irre
spective of party ties and affinities, and
platforms and names, to elect General
Grant as the men whom, above all others,
with the blessings of God, is better calcu
lated to restore the former friendly rela-'
tions of our people and henceforth to re
establish our government ou a basis of
solidity that will ensure perpetual peace
and incalculable prosperty to our highly
favored land.
A WORD TO PROSCRIP VIVE CHRIS
TIANS IN AUGUSTA.
As the church-going Democrats of Au
gusta read the Rkeublican more readily
and throughly than the Bible—albeit many
of them do so clandestinely—we deem it
our duty this morning, for their especial
benefit, to insert one of Christ's memorable
sermons. The sublime doctrines so beau,
tifully expressed in the language of. the
Saviour of mankind and Head oftheChurch
arc in striking contrast with the harbored
thoughts of hafc and acts of •proscription
and persecution indulged by hundreds of
professed Christians in Augusta. We pub
lish this immortal sermon for the benefit
of those who manifest neither religious or
political toleration, with the prayerful
hope that it may cause some, at least, to
cease their wicked course in this particular:
And he lifted up uis eyes on his disciples, and
said, Blessed lie ye pour: for yours, is the king
dom of God.
Blessed ore yc that hunger now : for ya shall
be tilled. Blessed orc ye that weep now : tor yo
shall laugh.
Blessed are ye when men shall hntoyos, and
when they shall separate y«afrom tkeir company,
and shall reproach you, and shall cast out your
name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy : f>r
behold your reward is great in heaven : for in a
ni-.o manner did their fathers pnto the prophets.
But wo unto you that are rich ! for ye hero
received your consolation.
Wo unto you that arc full ! for ye shall hunger.
Wo unto you that laugh now .' for ye shall mourn
and weep,
Wo unto you, when all men shall speak well of
you ! for so did tlioir fathers to the false prophets.
But 1 say unto you which hear, Love your
enemies, do good to them which hate you.
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them
which despitefully ure you.
And unto him that ouiiteth thoo on the one
cheek, offer also the other: and him that taketh
away thy cloak, forbid not to tike thy coat also.
Give to every man that ask of thte; and of
him that taketh away thy goods, ask lAem net
again.
And as ye would that men should do unto you,
do ye also to them likewise.
For if yo love them which love you, what thank
have ye? for sinners also love those that love
them ■
And if ye do good to them • . ieh do good to
you, what thank have yo ? for sinners also do
even the same.
And if ye lend to them ot whom ye hope to re
ceive, what thank have yo ? for sinners also lend
to sinners, to receive as much again.
But loro ye your enemies, and do good, and
lend, hoping for nothing again ; and your re
ward shall bo great, and ye shall bo the children
of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthank
ful and to the evil.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is
merciful.
Judge not, and yo shall not be judged: con
demn not, and yo shall not be condemned: for
give, and ye shall be forgiven :
Give, and it shall bo given unto you; good
measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and
running over, shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete withal,
it ehall bo measured to you again.
And he spake a parable unto them; ‘Lan the
blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall in ■
to the ditch?
The disciple is not above the master: bnt
eyery one that is perfect shall be his master.
And why beholdestr-thou the mote that is in
thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam
that is in thine own eye ?
Either how canst thou say to thy brother,
Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine
eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam
that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast
first the beam out of thine own eye, and then
shalt thou sec clearly to pull out the mote that
is in thy brother’s eye.
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit;
neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit.
For every tree is known by hrs own fruit : for
of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bram
ble-bush gather they grapes.
A goed man, out of the good treasure of his
heart, bringeth forth that which is good ; and
an evil man, out of the ovii treasure of his heart,
bringeth forth that which is evil: for ot the
abundance of his heart his mouth espakoth.
And why call yo mo Lord, Lord, and do not the
things which I say?
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my say
ings, anjjdoeth tbenf, I will shew you to whom
ho is like.
lie is like a man that built au house, and dig
ged deep, and laid the foundation vn a rock ; and
when the flood arose, the stream boat vehemently
upon that house, and could not shake it; for it
was founded upon a rock.
But ho that heareth and cLeath not, is like a
man that without a foundation built an house
upon the earth, against which the stream boat
vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin
of that house was great.

Editors Chronicle A Sentinel:
Sirs—My necessary absence front the
city has prevented an earlier reply to your
questions of the 12th instant, some of which
are not pertinent to the matter in contro
versy—others having already been answered
by former communications. ,
In reply I would state that I am not
aware of any benefit to be derived by my
self in the retention or expulsion of Colonel
Bryant by the House of Representatives of
the State of Georgia.
I do not choose to be catechised by unfair
as well as unauthorized parlies. Whenever
the body, ol which Colonel Bryant is a
member, shall sec tit to place me on the
stand, I am willing and ready to respond.
Respectfully,
J. Bowles, Assessor.
Bii.lv Talk.—John Quincy Adams talks
very silly about “negro domination in the
South.” That sort of talk has played out.
Just as well talk about Democratic domina
tion in Massachusetts. There is no negro
domination here; neither is there Demo
cratic domination there. If John Q. had
one tenth ot the sense of his father and
grandfather he would be able to see this ;
and if he had one tithe of their honesty be
would acknowledge it. Possessing neither
he is as reckless as his revolutionary com
rades.
"Why is this thus?”—The Democrats
claim that this is a “ white man’s govern
ment.” If they are correct, why does the
Democracy of Warren county appoint the
blackest kind of black men as delegates to
tbeir Conventions over white rueu ? These
■black Democrats arc selected to represent
the white Democrats of the good old county
of "Warren. How do you like it, white men ?

From the Washington Chronicle, 16th.] ■
OF GOV. BULLOCK.
We print elsewhere the message of Gov
ernor Bullock, of Georgia; to the Legislature
of that State upon its expulsion of twenty
seven Republican members. The message
is an able and concise refutation of the
ground of expulsion, and conclusively proves
the act of the Legislature to have been
unconstitutional. It alludes to the state of
the body politic after the war, surrendered to
a military conqueror, without organized State
government, and totally without political
rights and privileges, and to the laws of the
United States under which the State was
reconstructed, whereby all male inhabitants
of the Hate, except such as were especially
excluded by the law, were permitted- to
establish the State government. He quotes
the provisions of the State Constitution of
Ge rgia in support of his proposition that
the spirit of the reconstruction acts was
embodied therein, and that all the rights atid
privileges of-the Commonwealth were thereby
secured to all the citizens of the United
States and of Georgia, as contemplated by
the reconstruction acts.
Gbver Bullock effectually answers the
argument of the Democracy that the
eligibility of the colored elector to office
should have been affirmatively stated by
specific enactment in the. Constitution by a
counter thrust that the same affirmative
statement was equally essential to enable
white men to hold office, in view of the fact
that the delegates who made the Constitu
tion were voted for by eighty five thousand
black men and twenty-five thousand white
men,
His argument is unanswerable, but the
Democratic habit of thought has so long
regarded the black man as a chattel that it
can not realize his intention to include him
self in the constitutional lerm “Every male
person.” A white “male person" is a “male
person” is a male person in Democratic es
timation ; but a black “male person" is not
a “male person'’ unless specifically desig
nated as such.. , • _
We have heretofore given our opinion of
the act of the Georgia Legislature, and find
it fully corroborated by the Governor in
his able message, where our readers will
find quoted at considerable length those
provisions of the Georgia Constitution which
bear upon the subject.
The Defalcation at Stewart's, New
York.—Henry W. Livingstone, a young
Scotchman, who has been several years in
the employ of A. T. Stewart A Co,, New
York, as manager of the s hipping atid de
livery department of their business, ab
sconded last week. It bad been discovered
that the accounts ot his department were
short many thousand dollars, and strict in
vestigations were being made, when Liv
ingstone took the alarm and fled. It is sup
posed he took a steamer for Europe. The
manner ol Livingstone's operations was to
hire outside truckmen to deliver packages
marked “collect on delivery," and col ect
the money himself, entering the goods as
not yet delivered. Retaining this money as
long as possible under this guise, he would
make a similar raise On other packages, and
ent.r the first as delivered aud paid. In
this way he prosecuted the dishonest busi
ness, each operation increasing the amount
he had to carry along, until the burden was
too heavy for him and the exposure came.
It is known that there was a deep method in
the knavery; as he kept a large amount of
money in his trunk at all times, as if antici
pating the time when he must decamp.

LETTER FROM EX-GOV. BROWN.
He Denies that he was Responsible for the
'Aaidersonirille Horrors. £*
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 8, I»68.
To ihe Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Sir—Yod letter reached my office daring
my absence, which has caused th#delay in
my reply. From the newspaper slip which
you inclose, it appears that Senator Hend
ricks in his canvass, upon the authority of
a letter purporting to be from a Union sol
dier, charges that I “issued an order at An
dersonville, granting a furlough to every
Rebel soldier on guard who would shoot a
prisoner.” I pronounce the charge false —
meanly and basely false. Every person
who has intelligence enough to be received
into the service of the United States as a
private, to say nothing of a person holding
or aspiring to a high position, must know,
and aoes know, that the Federal prisoners
captured by the Confederate armies, were
under the exclusive command and control
of-the Confederate authorities. As I stated
in a letter to a prominent citizen of your
State, some days since, I never at any time
during the war had a Federal prisoner
of any name, rank, or grade, in my
possession, or under my control.—
1 had no more command over Andersonville
prison than the Governor of Indiana had.
I was never at it during the war. Such
was the bitterness of Mr. Davis toward me
at the time the prisoners were confined in
this State, on account of iny refusal to favor
his tyrauieal and centralizing policy, that he
neither advised nor consulted with mo, nor
did he treat respectfully suggestions made
by me. As a general rule, my advocacy of
a cause which he had to decide was its
greatest injury. It was not, therefore, in ray
power to exercise any control whatever over
the prisoners. If Senator Hendricks has
resorted .to this sort of misrepresentation
upon a subject about which it seems incredi
ble that he can be ignorant. I must con
clude he is hard pressed for argument to
sustain the sinking revolutionary platform
upon which the New York Convention
placed him and his candidates for President
and Vice President, the meaning and objects
of which are so clearly and truthfully
expounded by General Blair in his
letter to Colonel Broadhead, which
secured for him the nomination
and has made him the idol of such revolu
tionary leaders in the South as Toombs, Ben
Hill and others, who are ready again, if they
can get sufficient encouragement from the
Northern Democracy, to trample the flag of
the Union under their feet if they can not
engraft their policy upon the Administration.
I am fully satisfied that the election of Grant
and Colfax is the only security left to the
> country against oppression and wrong,
attended by scenes of carnage more revolting
than any through which we have passed
from 1860 to the present time. The great
mass of the American people intend no such
result. But it should not be forgotten that a
few wicked, heartless leaders, whose political
fortunes arc wrecked, in their desperation
have the will and the power, if not rebuked
in time, to precipitate the issue. The at
tempts to overthrow the governments estab
lished in the South by force, to which the
Democratic platform and Blair’s letter com
mit the party, will bo the match to the
magazine.
Very respectfully, yours,
Joseph E. Brown.

intelligence that I have been so lucky as to
draw a gold watch worth $250, for which
handsome present I am only obliged to pay
$13.50—a generous offer on your part, and
which, I assure “you, is duly appreciated by
the undersigned.
I have always been considered a lucky
man; in fact, my friends tell me that my
good looks and my luck are worth a fortune
to me. If I needed further proof, this last
streak of fortune has proved it to my satis
faction. Here I am, away down in Georgia,
not dreaming that my military reputation
had extended to New York, when along
comes a letter from your kind self, whom I
never heard of before, telling me that “ The
Committee" notify me that I have drawn a
$250 watch. How devilish kind of “ the
Committee what jolly old coons they must
be, and how discreet and discerning, 100, as
to select from such an array of names borne
upon the Army Register, my humble one.
That their kindness and good taste is appre
ciated, I have only to say that it shall inspire
aud stimulate me to new deeds of valor, atid
that when J reach —as I certainly shall—
that happy and !png-wished-for goal of poor
army Lieutenants, viz.: a Major-General's
commission, I will come on to New York,
hunt them up, and give them such a blow
out al Delmonico’s as never was seen before.
As I need a watch badly, and especially a
$250 one, I hasten to enclose sls in good
Confederate money, which, I understand,
passes as well in New York as greenbacks’;
anyway, it is a safe investment, provided
Seymour and Blair are elected, and of course
you vote lor them, certainly all gentlemen in
your line of business do. The balance, $2.50,
you can donate to some ward committee for
the|brave Democratic sogers who are going
to clean out the Rads. Hoping you will
spare no delay, and that the time-piece will
lose no time in reaching me.
I am your gratewl servant,
* * *
P. S.—Fearing this plight not reach you,
1 send it to the care of Superintendent Ken
nedy.
The latest swindling dodge is to advertise
a preparation for curing the taste for to
bacco; address somebody in Portland, for
instance 4 price ouly two -dollars. The two
dollars being sent, a reply is received stating
that the price has been raised to five dollars .
‘on receipt of the balance, the preparation
will be etc. Os course the sender
uever sees his money again, or the ‘prepara
tion' either.
A celebrated old doctor said that people
who were prompt in their payments always
recover in their sickness, as they were good
customers, and physicians could not afford
to loose them. A good hint and a sensible
doctor.
