Examiner continues the annoitticenumt that “two carpet bag school Lel and Hammond,” having “reeeive<l a gentle admonition that their valuable services might possibly be more appreciated in some other latitude, took an affectionate adieu 'of their associates, and on Monday last turned their faces towards Mason and Dixon's Line.” This is u roundabout way of stating that the Democrats of Coving' ton threatened to mob these, persons if they did not leave the county. Tlreir crime was—teaching the colored cluldrcn tile simplest rudiments of education. This the Covington Democrats (does not consider a “legitimate avocajiou.”— Wherein is the wrong/ The Democrats wilj not tench the negroes themselves, nor will they allow others to do so, under the penalty of banishment. If we have such incidents as this of which the Examiner boasts, in the green tree, what may we not expect in the dry ? , But, gentlemen, tin's policy will imt win. It cannot long be tolerated. Rather than it will be submitted to, tire teeth Os Jout Democratic serpents Will be extracted. As wc remarked in our last issw, all classes of people hayc a right to live herb. That is what the flag means. Democrats inay bully and boast, and mob, and murder, for a time, but the time will speedily come when the whole power of the Nation will be exercised to protect its friends. Lei prudent men stand from under, and fools receive fbe fate they so richly merit , *♦«- —» A OLD MAN. Jesse R. Grant, the father of his son, needs looking after by some kind friend of the General. The latter's great achieve' ments and remarkable popularity seems to have turned the old fellow’s head. He is the opposite of the General in reticence, as he is in everything else. If he would rest content with the expreiwion of his own opinions he would not Ire quite so mfjch of a nuisahce; but he takes upon himself the authority to speak for his son. For in stance, he recently wagged his tongue, in I conversation with one of those indescriba ble creatures known as a migratory news- . paper correspondent, in a very ill-advised manner, in stating that his son lintl a very II poor opinion of General Ronechans, ' adding : < ' # C Before the war I heard hlui eay that Rose . erase was a failure, and often during the war he f fiuiHurly expressed himself. Why, when Sen. t Grant was before Richmond, he nteded general ’ offioors, but, you remember, t hough Roeecrans was idle, Grant didn’t take loan- He said he never could tru»t him anywhere. This may be al! correct, and it may uot. 1 That General Rose&ans i* the bitter, yer sons! enemy of General Grant is unques tionable. It was his hatred of Jlie latter < that gave birth to the Sulphur Springs 3 conference. But all this does not;, justify flic old man Grant’s garulity, nor the . gossiping correspondent for fits puifftat ; tion.

SEYMOURS CHANCES. General Blteek, in bis recent interview with the Boatoil Herald correspondent, in answer to the question, “You think, then, that Seymour has no chance of an elec tion replied : “Oil, not the slightest ; and it is very well for him that he has not. If it were’possible that he could be elected he would not be ninety days in office. The knife, the bullet, or poison would remove him and make room for Blair. Assassi nation has Ifaen introduced l#jr the relicls into our political system, and they will never hesitate now to avail themselves pf it when-their interests are nt stake. Their experiment in that line has been too great a success. With them the ties of bkxkl, affection, or loyalty will uo longer avajl lo pretent the frfenib of the second in power from removing the first out of the way when the opportunity offers. Nothing but interest will stay the assassin’s hand. I should have fallen a victim in New Orleans but for one thing: if they had murdered me they would hurehnd Pinw.ps over them, and tliat would Lave fme» jumping out of the frying-pan into the fire. You may rest assured that if I had been elected Vice President in 18fi4, in place of Andrew Johnson, Abraham Linwln would have lieeii a living man to-day.” . -T «► '- X Lost jt* Gumption.— When the unfortu nate Hayes departed, the ■Savannah Repub lican tost all its gumption.

More I‘kofh'able. —Perhaps Ute Demo crats arc qpposed to the old system of slavery being revived, but if so, it is because they have dTscovered a System more profitable, and whicii requires toss capital. By de priving the blacks of all political rights and establishing disoriuiiiiating labor laws, such as Johnson’s South Cardura Legislature adopted in 1865, they can reap the profits es the black man’a toil without the expense us maintainiug lhe a'ged, infirm and children. This would save much corn bread and fat bacon that formerly, under the- old system, reduced the profits of slavery. Instead o* trusting the blacks as their own horses, (hoy-could iwd would treat them very much as many persons now treat hired horses. v ’ » • —rv“~l* ** »* '* -' •■’r Just So.—The Atlanta Constitution says that our vision In viewing falsehood is quite distinct.

When General Grant made known his , plan to ft council of his Corps Commanders not one approved it. The plan was opposed to military rule. Il severed his army from , the North and its supplies. If not an im mediate success, it must end in overwhelm ing disaster. All his officers —Sherman, McPherson. Logau,. Wilson, all able men, all attached to their commander and anxious he should not fail—argued the points against the project. Sherman, after reflecting, could not restrain himself from renewing the de bate. Grant knew his friendship, his sin cerity, and his ability. Sherman even rode tip to Grant's headquarters the next day, nrtd presented his views, respectfully, of course, but earnestly, as an earhosl man docs everything. He assured Grant tfiiit the only way to take Vicksburg was to move on it from some high ground as a base, on the north. “This,” said Grant, “will require us to g<» back to Mem pins.” “Exactly so,” said Sherman, and set forth his reasons with the intciisity of couvlcttoq and the ingenuity aud ability of au able soldier. Gract replied, “1 shall take no step hack l ward; it would seem to the country, now discouraged, like a retreat. 1 have c<>n.JJ cred the plan and have determined to carry it -ouR” Sherman left; but tlie Strength of his con victions, the vast importance of the move ment totffc HKltou and the army, would m>l allow him to. Imre the Babject thu*, and he carefully committed his views to paper, and on the Bth of ApriHorwarded them to head quarters. And here is one of the pqjnts of moral grandeur in the trireer of Grant. They who would understand his character sbottld qb serve him at this'Juncture. This single man—newspapers, politigi>us, army officials at Washington, clamoring- for bis removal, he acknowledging his' failure thus far, hia prevent plan opposed earnestly by all his ofttmtrs- -sees the path of duty before him gleaming with light in the surrounding dark ness, and walks in it with unfaltering step.

That imbecile t sover eign has few sympathizers, either in flic Old or New World. • _A The New York Sun says : It would not be a bad thing to have Queen Isabella turned out of her place ns monarch of Spain. A coarse, violent woman, despised lor her vices, and -uol respected for iuiy counterbalancing tafenls, she has lo'itg been looked upon with aversion by the more intel ligent nn(t virtuous, uAt only of tfie Spin-1 jards, but of the work! in general. It is now thirty-five years sinew Isabella became Queen. ' Ten years of this'time were spent under the regency ol her mother, and iu October, 1813, sire was doolurud of age, aud assumed the din»c|iott of the Gov ernment. How many insnrreettotrs have marked that faction sought by farce to g*' ll power, how Espartcro Ims given place to Narvaez, and Narvaez to O'Donnell, and how, under all these ehaugte of .violence and hrttigde, the monarchy was steaffily stmk in the fcfai sideration of the people, wc shall not attempt to recount. Neither .is it certain that the fireseni uprising, whose fiend is believed to >c Gen. Prim, is any more sure to suceeed than that which J’rim set on foot two years ago; bift the fact that Isabella ha? gone to ask Ifiuis Napoleon to help her looks as if she was serkmsly afraid of danger. The .Spanish people have made great ad vances in wealth and intelligence during this quarter of a century. They are really ahead of theft Government, and ready fora change. What kind of a change they want, the event Tf thev sEnnlH seeCeetl !U pelllng tie; Queen to abdicate, they might place her oldest daughter and natural suc eessor, rhe Infanta Maria Isabella, on the throne fa her place. This young lady is seventeen years old, but concerning her character and capacities we have no infor matiem With such a mother, however, she must be a bril girl. Or they may possibly try to give the Beeplie to Isabella’s sister, the Infanta Maria Louisa, who is now thirty six year* old, and married to the Duke of Meutpcnsier, a son of Louiu Philippa. The recent banishment of those personages front the kingdom shows that Isabella is afraid of them; aud one of the points of her appeal to Napoleon doubtless relates to the dis pleasure it would cause him to see one of the Orleans princes wearing the Spanish crown. : But speculation on these topics is very much in the air. A few days will reveal what reality there is in the insurrection, aud in w|iat direction its guides intcud to toad it. GEN. DI.V ON*MR. SEYMOUR. ' A Scathin') Commentary on that Gentleman. * Paris, September 4. My Dear Sir:— lt was my hope that my distance from home would have saved me from all Jiariicipatiou in the political ex citement prevailing there, but I notice in one of the newspapers that I am heart and hand with Mr. Seymour. lam not awars of anything in the present or past which could rightfully subject me to such an imputation. I have with Mr. Seymour more than a quarter of a century.- He is an amiable gentleman of unexceptional private ehuraetcr and rcspecffible talents, but you know as well as I that he has not a single qualification for the successful execution of the htgh official trust to which he has been nominated, and he is especially deficient in that firmness of purpose which, in critical emergencies,’ is the only Safeguard against public disorder and calamity. He has becij twice, at different times, -Governor of the State of New York, and he has, in neither case, had talent or tact to keep the Damo* eratic party of the State together more than two years. I should regard his election at this juncture, wbcfi steadiness of purpose, 1 decision- and soil-control are so much needed, as one of the greatest calamities that could befall tlte Moreover ho has been put in nomination by a convention wlitoh has openly declared the purppse of those it represents, to pay the greater partof the public debt oontract i ed to preserve the - Uaton in , depreciated , paper. Such a measure would, in my . judgment, W a palpable violation of the public faith, pledged under circumstances which shoulfi hate ImCn binding ou all hon orable men. 'Seymour has made public speeches to show that it is our duty to pay J the debt fa specie' In accepting his nomi >■ nation to the Prffsiccncy, he adopts the declaration-that it ought to be paid in paper. I know ftqfhing so humiliating in the bis ' toty pf American politics as this tergiversa tion. * it was perhap;. not unfit that Mr. Seymour, aftelt. presiding in 18(11 over the Chicago p Convention, which declared the war a failure, should preside over the Convention of IwS, in which a proposition Io discredit ■ .the delft contracted to carry on the war. was received with tremendous' cheerjng, and that he jfiOuld be the choqcn instrument to execute this act of national turpitude. I do not believe that the wishes or opinions of tho great body of the Democratic party are fairly expressed in these pro ceedtogs- They have nothing iu common with the statesmanlike views of policy, and the high sense of national honor which guided the party when Marlin Van Buren, William L. Yaneey, Silis Wright, Lewis Cass, and Stephen A. Douglas were among its must conspicuous members. I sce’bet one source of safety fur tire coun try wider sxlstiog ejrcumstances, and that is tho election of General Grant. Onida decision of character, good sense, modera tiem and disinterested patriotism, I believe tho South will have a far better hope of regaining the positron in the Union to which it is'entfttod, than uader a man whose polit ics,! carqer has been iu nothing more con spicuously njatketl utter infirmity of purpose. ludepenffruHbf or all these cotJ sidcratfous, X sbbutd be 'greatly inrprised if the people epf the United Siates were to dteet -as t)W Chief Magistrate a man who was making, at. the Academy ait MusiCj on the Fourth of July, 1863, a speech defiefouiin oR the character istics of an irievateid fore Ot Country, at the very hour when General Grant was carrying the victorious arms of the Uiubn into Vicks btfrgi and when thousands of our fallen countrymen were pourin* out their blood on tho plains pf Gettysburg in deftftice of their liome\»ud ths Gpverqnient which Mr. Sey mour ffhuvg’an in uis power to embarrass and discredit. 1 HU. quite wilifa* you should show this ■letter-to any friends vrito may take Oil In terest in my opinion -in regard to the cOming -eteefton, nnd I qm pajlicelafly desirous to rembve the impression, if it exists, thatlum in favor of Mr. Seyinouc er the repadiatfon ot rite public debt- 1 am, far, very .truly ytnire, • - • John Ar.

J A MODEL JUDGE. w ? lire at all times disposed to do u ! political opponent justice, and it is with pleasure Hiat we now have an opportunity to do so.'JOur Judge, Parrott, has pre sided one week upon the bench ,of the Superior Court of this county, and so sys tematic is Iris mode of conducting bustness, and the promptness and ability with which he does it, has elicited almost universal praise from nearly every one who attended Court lost week. So strict is be in pre serviag order, that the business of the Court progresses smoothly and without the usual confusion attending onr courts. The Attorneys have hut to present their points, and ho seems to compre hend them, almost by intuition, ami eoMtei] uently makes piompt decisions, with out consuming the time ol the Court in list ening to long speeches on minor points of law. He is closing up the docket much more rapidly than any Judge we have ever seen on the bench, and at the same time seems determined to give every one ample justice. Our dockets are encumbered with numerous old eases which have been con tinued from term to term, on account of absent parties and witnesses. Judge Par rott has set out to clear the dockets over those old eases. If a plaintiff is absent and not represented, his case is stricken—if wit nesses are absent, he issues an order to the Sheriff to send after and arrest them, and bring them into Court, and unless they have a lawful excuse they are fined*. Juries, witnesses and panics would do well to attend Court where Judge Parrott presides, or they will suffer for their neglect. If Jadge Parrott continues as he has com menced, and who that knows his energy ' doubts that he will, he will greatly shorten tue terms of the Courts where he presides, 1 greatly lessen the expenses upon the cOuh ties. As it is his mode to send after absent witnesses, but only few criminal cases will be continued, and the jails cleared every Court. Judge Parrott is commissioned to be our Judge for the next eight years, and it is gratifying to all lovers of good order, peace and Justice to know that he has so early . received the plaudit of “ A Model Judge.” From the N. Y. Times. • GRANTS FINANCIAL ABILITIES. In the talk which one of our Western correspondents had with General Grant’s • father, a few days ago, the old gentleman spoke of one trait of his son’s administra tive genius which is of the highest im portance, in view of the financial state of the country. He alluded to Gen. Grant's financial genius as displayed in the extra ordinary economy of bis military adminis tration of his campaigns. In striking language he said: “ Why, just look at Gen. Grant’s cam paigns. Don’t they show great financial abilities ? Who ever hoard of such results at so small an expense ? Rosecrans stopped in front of Murfreesboro and Chattanooga six months, while millions of dollars were . wasted. McClellan spent untold sums in the Virginia swamps. But Ulysses was always ready to “ move uponjthe enemy’s • works.” If you will look into the matter, you will see that the Vicksburg campaign was the only expensive one he conducted.” We remember that, during the war, wc took frequent occasion to eulogize General Grant concerning this very matter. Op taking charge of the army, or a division of an army, or in taking control of military • operations in any given region of country, he at once dispensed with three-quarters of the paraphanalia, and. the cumbrous and expensive machinery of transportation, supply and armament, which were found necessary by other commanders. In this i tray he saved hundreds of millions of dob . .lavs to the country. Wc have not the . .slightest doubt that he will apply the same i effective genius to the civil economies and t expenditures of the Government as soon as ( he becomes President [ TN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE JL United States for the Northern District of Georgia In the matter of i I JOHN H WHITE *OO kIN BANKRUPTCY Bankrupts. ) No. 256 The said Bankrupts having petitioned the ■ Court for n discharge from all their debts prova -1 ble under tile Bankrupt Actof March 2d, 1867, f notice Is hereby given to all persons interested 3 to appear on the loth day of October, 1868, at 10 4 o’clock in tin forenoon, at chambers of said District Court, before Lawson Black, ECk, one of the Registers of the said Court in Bank- c rnptey, at the Register’s office in Atlanta, 7 Georgia, and show cause why the prayer of the - the said petition of the Bankrupt should not be B granted.
