AS INSTANCE OF TOTAL DE-
PllA VITY.
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,

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.
