The Atlanta Constitution, of Friday, con tains the following editorial paragraph: “Thz Boy and His Gal.—ls a young Conduc tor on the State Road remains on the Road forty-eight hours, we shall ‘go for him.’ lie and his Gal are not the kind of folks Georgians are willing to trust their wives with. — K.rhuM eat. The Ku- Klux organ, of this city, the next day, it its local column, published the above, together with the following in quiry : Wonder if that “ Boy” isn’t handsome Eddie, son of the old Perjurer? “Like father, like son. ’ Wc do not conceive it possible that this slanderous query, with its no less libelous comment, could have been penned by the gentleman known as the local editor of that paper. Conscious of the plentiful lack of confidence entertained by this com munity for anything he might pen, the editor cunningly invades the department of a gentleutan whose statements arc usually reliable in order to stab the private character of a young gentleman who has ns many virtues and as few faults as any man of his age in Augusta. What cares that mischievous and wicked editor for the crushing pain he yesterday caused in the hearts of all his female relatives and friends? Would any but a person with a totally depraved soul attempt to blast the reputation of a young man whose only offence is an honest difference of opinion as to the best policy by which the country should be governed? We have the best reason for stating that the Constitution did not in the remotest degree allude to Col. E. F. Blodgett. It remains to be seen whether the Ku-Klux editor will make the correction. SLANDERS REFUTED. Ever since the nomination of that intrepid Republican, Captain Wm. P. Pierce, for Congress, in the Second District, the most infamous falsehoods against his private character have been freely circulated by the Democratic papers and speakers. One of the newspapers containing these gross libels having reached the eye of a brother of the Captain, Judge James L. Pierce, of Indiana, who is a prominent Seymour Democrat, he addressed the following let ter to Governor Bullock, which wc find in yesterday’s Atlanta Nev> Era : Washington, Indiana, Sept. 23, 1868. Governor Bullock : Daka Sin—An infamous paragraph in a Geor gia paper, charging my brother, Captain Wm. I’. I‘ierca, Republican candidate for Congress in the Scoeud District of Georgia, with divers felonies, alleged to have been 'committed in Kentucky, has just fallen under my notice, and induces me to write you this letter. He was raised in Central Kentucky, was a Republican from his earliest youth, though in heriting slaves, and was Captain of cavalry —when not of ago —iu Wolford’s Kentucky Brigade, in. the United States army, and, when the war closed, settled in Loe county, Georgia, and raised two crops of cotton. Ho never vio lated ony law of Kentucky, and no man bears a bettertharaotel for honor, humanity and integ rity, or is more universally esteemed by all parties whore ho was raised and resided than himself. I can, if necessary, obtain certificates to this effect from Governors MoGoflin and Bramletts, of Kentucky, who wore intimate friends of my father, Dr. Pierce, mid aro well acquainted with him. 1 simply write this loiter that you may give him such assistance as is iu your power; and that the speakers of your party who may canvass his District may be acquainted with his anteeo dents, and thereby do justice to as true and pure a man as in the State of Georgia. Most respectfully, Your obedient servant, James L. Pierce. This is a manly and conclusive vindica tion of the honorable antecedents of C’npt. Pierce. It shows that he springs from one of the best families in the State of Kentucky, and that he has committed no act forfeiting his good reputation, except in the estimation of those who consider it a crime to sustain one’s country in its hour of extreme peril. The last paragraph in Judge Pierce’s letter shows that he is in total ignorance of the real condition of affairs in Gcorgitf He speaks as if it were a possibility for Republican speakers to address the people in that District. C:q>t. Pierce is about the only man who has had the courage to do it, and he almost be came a martyr in the attempt. Now that Judge Pierce is on a visit to the State, wc think he will have his eyes opened in many particulars. A Specimen.—The Griffin Herald has an editorial of nearly a column to prove that Governor Bullock is a “ wretch," because he declined to sign the charter of the Nut ting Banking Company. This is as about as decent as any of the reasons advanced against the conduct of the Governor. The people will remember that the Governor only desired the stockholders of tnis Bank ing Company individually liable for their acts. Private citizens are thus held respon. Bible, why should not wealthy bankers be I held to a like accountability ? THE GEORGIA TRIO. The Northern Democracy having admin istered a severe rebuff to Messrs. Toombs, Hill and Cobb, who proposed to go North and make speeches, it would perhaps be worth while for the Republicans to en deavor to persuade them to take the trip, with the understanding that they are not to make Radical, but Democratic speeches. Heaven help us, if the distinguished incen diaries should take a notion to stump the North in behalf of Grant and Colfax> and there is no telling what change Toombs and Hill might undergo when they got where such a vast majority were of one stripe—Bob and Bex are such political chameleons. The Republican party owe the illustrious and notorious trio a vast debt of gratitude for their exertions in our behalf. To them is owing the tremendous thrashing the Democrats got in Vermont and Maine, and to their speeches in Atlanta will be owing the inevitable result, that Seymour will not get an electoral vote in any Northern or Western State. No men in the whole country have worked so hard to elect Grant. Their speeches, scattered in thou sands all over the North, have done the business for Seymour. Perhaps they did not intend it, but if they had worked with the best intentions, they could not have contrib uted more to the success of Republicanism. No wonder the Democrats at the Jjorth curse them ; as for us of the Republican party, they deserve our thanks and blessing, and they deserve it the more that there is a strong suspicion that they intended from the beginning to defeat Seymour and burst up the Democratic party. Such a rick would be exactly in the line of Toombs and Hill. Cobb don’t generally ruin a party he joins until he has got all he can out of it: he never throws away the orange till he sucks all the juice out of it; they drop it to catch another, which generally turns out to be rotten. But, no matter what their motives were, they have done an immense deal of good to our party, and we again call on all good Republicans to bless Ben and Bob, and Cobb. Wc learn that Bob and Ben intend to leave the country forever if Grant is elected. If they stick to their promise, the gratitude of the nation will be overwhel ming. Among the many blcsaingz to be expected from Grant’s election, we hardly anticipated so great a one as that. Now, if they will take Hotel with them, our felicity will be perfect. A WAIL FROM THE FAITHfUL. From all sources a universal wail comes up, bitterly complaining of the demoralixa tion of the DeiuoclScy. The latest is from the pen of Abbe McMaster, editor of the Freeman's Journal, a paper familiar to every Irish Catholic in America. The Reverend gentleman is an honest man, an<l t seeing that the defeat of his party is inevi table, thus gives vent to his feelings of indignation, mortification and chagrin : We decline being humbugged by political parties. There are principles at stake, or nothing is at stake wc care for. A year ago Gen. Grant was a great favorite for the Presidency among the Democrats. Air. Chief Justice Chase was their dread. This year, oven Mr. Seymour was the advocate of the candidacy of Air. Chief Justice Chase, as a funny candidate of the Democratic party. The idea was not accepted. Mr. .Seymour himself was put in nomination by the very interest to which ho had shown himself most bitterly opposed—the party that insist on paying off the five-twenties in greenbacks. He has accepted the platform and must sink er swim with it. Affairs aro very remarkably mixed up’. Alon may be excused for getting their heads muddled. Wo aro called on to support a candidate, on national grounds, that was himself, avowedly, in favor of another candidate, most antagonistic to all docent and proper ideas of Federal Govern ment. Wo acknowledge that the affair is “muddled.” Our correspondence is cf a character to excite our alarm. There is no use of disguising the fact that there is distrust and disaffection among very many Democrats. In another article the editor substan tially admits the certainty of Democratic defeat in Pennsylvania in October. AN ACT WITHOUT A PRECEDENT. We arc ashamed of the South Carolina Legislature. Its recent suspension of a State Senator for a period of six months, for some alleged misconduct, is, wc believe, without precedent in parliamentary law. We imagine a temporary denial to Mr. Leslie of the privileges of membership is a matter of small consequence to him. But it is not the Senator who has a right to complain. The people have done nothing to merit punishment. His suspension leaves his constituency in an anomalous condi tion. They have and they have not a Sen ator. There is no vacancy, and there is no Senator. This is absurdly unjust. The Legislature of South Carolina will find it best, in the end, to regulate their actions by old rules and precedents. They arc loyal men, and wise, no doubt, but we doubt their ability to improve on the wis dom of ages. They simply make them selves ridiculous in making the attempt. • • - - A DEMOCRATIC LIE NAILED TO THE COUNTER. All,the Democratic papers, including, of course, the Atlanta Constitution, have been asserting that J udge Vason and Captain Johnson were sent by Major Howard to investigate the circumstances of the riot at Camilla. We arc now enabled to nail this lie to the counter. Major Howard neither employed these gentlemen nor endorses their report. He writes the following cm. phatic contradiction to the Albany Notes, a Democratic paper: BUREAU R., F. & A. L.,'i Hr.ADq’ns Svb-Dist. or Albany, • Albany, Ga., Sept. 22,1863. J Editor Tri- Weekly Neus: The statement contained in your account of the Camilla affair, published to day, that I “re quested Judge D. A. Vason and Captain T. 11. Johnson to go to Camilla and gather all the par ticulars, with the necessary papers, and the names of those killed and wounded,” is such a gross misrepresentation of facts (as either of the gentlemen referred to will, I cannot doubt, inform you), and so well calculated to convoy to the public the idea that the report which fol lows has my official sanction, that I must request that you do mo the simple justice to endeavor to correct, in your next issue, the wrong impression regarding my position that is sure to be «aused by it. Very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t, O. 11. Howard, , Brevet Major U. S. A., S. A. Com’r B. R., F. & A. L. • —Speaker Colfax’s wedding will soon take place, anil promises to be the most brilliant affair of the Washington season. [From our own Correspondent. WASHINGTON LETTER. The Ljuscial Session of Congress—Row Another Jlecess is taken at the White Haute —The White Haute Besieged—Trials of the. Democracy— The Late Ddffcatien —A Cabinet Ernesto —The Surratt Cate—No Bets on Seymour to be had— A Reminiscence of the War. Washington, September 23, 1868. Congressmen, lobbyists, professional poli ticians, and a crowd of office-seekers made a raid upon the capital last Monday. The Re publican Congressmen have nearly all left for their respective homes, while Democratic Congressmen and their fellows, the lobby ists, still remain to liarrass the President and heads of departments for aid to enable them to sweep back the flood tide of Repub licanism. At a caucus of Republican Congressmen, held Monday morning, those who favored a business session yielded readily to the argu ment of those opposed to such a session, and consequently the utmost harmony prevailed at the organization, The President has a wholesome fear of a continual session, and the fact that Congress was to reassemble on the 21st has made him comparatively luke warm in his support of Seymour and Blair, much to the disgust of the Democratic lead ers ; hence the President urged his friends to prevent, if possible, another recess being taken. In this they most ingloriously failed through a stupid blunder. The resolution adopted to take a recess until October passed without a call of the House, so that the pre sumption in parliamentary laws is, that there was a quorum present. When a call was made no quorum appeared. By this time the Senate had* passed the House resolution, and thus the thing was fixed fer another recess. When the result was reported at the White House, it is said upon very good authority that Mr. Johnson used language more expressive than polite. The possibility of a session in October will keep the President, as during the late recess, on his good behavior. To-day and yesterday the White House has undergone a regular siege. Democratic politicians of all grades urge upon the President active co-operation, but he proposes to act with moderation. Unfortunately for the Democrats, they can not intimidate the President by threats, for he will not stand that; moreover, they have nothing to induce him to take any extraordi nary action in their favor. The office of the Secretary of the Treasury is also daily besieged by the same class of superanuated politicians, but, thus far, without accom plishing anything. Mr. McCulloch says he is no politician, and he has not the hardi hood to make removals simply to give place .to hungry Democrats. In making appoint ments in the Internal Revenue branch, he could easily be induced to select Democrats, but then Mr. Rollins will not nominate them. It is a trying time for the Democracy, truly. Colonel Olmstead, the defaulting Superin tendent of the Postoffice Department, has not yet been arrested. The Government will sustain no great loss by the defalcation, as he has property enough to cover the deficiency. In this connection it as well may be stated that Colonel Olmstead is a Democrat, and that his bondsmen are Coyle and Snow, ' editors of the Intelliyencer. At a Cabinet meeting held yesterday there was some angry discussion in regard to the disposal of patronage, which resulted in Mr. Seward declaring for Grant and Colfax, and of Welles and'McCulloch for Seymour and Blair. The Attorney General dodged the question, but it is well known that he is in favor of Graut. No other members were present. It is not supposed this emettte will cause any Cabinet changes. The Surratt case is now on trial, but it is doubtful if the accused is convicted of any crime. The Amnesty Proclamation is pleaded in bar of a trial for conspiracy now. As the Court leans towards Johnsonianism, it is probable the plea may be considered valid and the accused discharged. As an indication.of the popular current, it may be stated that Mr. Belmont, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, a few days since, refused to make a bet of ten to one that Seymour would receive the elec toral vote of a single Northern State. He made the proposition several weeks ago, but when a man came forward to take the bet, he backed out. No bets can now be obtained ou the elec tion of the Democratic candidates. The following reminescence of the war is vs.'th relating. 1 was shown to-day a copy ol the Soutine m Confederacy, dated Atlanta, Ga., May 13, 1863, in which appears the fol lowing dispatch, on page 3, column 3 : “second dispatch. “Richmond, May 9.—Two thousand pris oners arrived this evening, and the same number will arrive at 8:35 to-night, by the mail train from Fredericksburg. “Passengers report Frank P. Blair, Jr., among the captured. The oath of allegiaeee was administered at his roquet.” Although General Blair was not captured as staled, the telegraph agent evidently had an intuitive knowledge of the Blairs. Five thousand of the “ Boys in Blue” paraded the streets last evening with torches, lanterns and trausnarences. Capital. “Cease, Viper, Ye Gnaw a File."— A shameless correspondent ol the Demo, cratic organ of this city, accuses Hon. Ben. jamin Conley with recreancy to a people who have piled wealth, favors and honor upou him for thirty years. The people here never conferred a single favor upon him that he did not eminently merit by his rare good conduct and remarkable qualities of head and heart. He is the same Christian gen tlemnn now that he has beeu for so many years. His friends, lor him, defy the most exacting scrutiny. • # Let Him Up.—We submit to the Atlants Constitution whether it should not let up on the editor of the New Era ? The True Democrat of Vineland, N. J., has hauled down the Copperhead flag and “ nailed to the mast” the Republican banner. This sheet was one of the most influential Democratic organs m the county, and its loss to that party must be felt. It gives the following reasons for its change. First— Because we hail a mind to do it. Second.— Because the party that was Democratic, that promised to lighten the taxes, that promised to give the country a low-tax can didate, allowed an ignoble clique of traitors and bloated capitalists to force their disloyal tools upon the party. Third—Because, if the Democratic ticket is elected, the Demo cratic party is defeated. Fourth —Because • Grant and Colfax better fill the bill. Filth—Because there is rebel element enough in the Democratic party to control the party, and we desire to have liberty in the South long enough to give Northern fathers and mothers time to remove their dead sons where they can lie umusulted by Democratic bone-trinket manufacturers. Sixth —We felt unAvilling to furnish free literature to a party that could not read. —A London paper calls George Peabody, Esq., the “Great Liberal Party.” -Professor Biot is to teach more New York ladies how to cook this Fall.
