Albert, of Baltimore City, —The rejiorts that Count Bismarck is much broken in health are without truth. He is simply on a prolonged visit to his estates in East Prussia, and is in good health; rises early, rides over hie farms, dines, rests a while, and then looks after his office work. A telegraph wire extends from bis castle to the capital, and he com municates instantly and directly such orders as may be required. He has not had occa sion to sec a medicater since he left Berlin. —A singular case has been decided by the County Court at St. Louis, Mo. Last Fall a wealthy citizen named P.

Hill cap no more keep his pen or tongue quiet than can a victim of St, Vitus’ dance hold himself still. Having recently proceeded to New York,' and possibly finding the Democrats indisposed to hear him noratc, in order to gratify his uncontrollable penchant for seeing his name and productions in print. Crazy Ben played strategy on Horace Greei.y and wrote a letter to his Tribune. Ben’s letter opens in the, Tribijfie of the 25th, and gives the author's account of the Camilla affair. We wonder it did not occur to the Philosopher of the Tribune that, possibly, lie had access to as many sources of information ns were accessible to our Ben, the latter, like the former, not being in Georgia at the the time of the occurrence. This letter is (jlled with the most atro cious slanders against the Republican party of Georgia. We have not the patience to wade through«nll his flagrant falsehoods and expose them seriatim. lie charges the Republican party with telling the blocks that the Democrats would roflnslave them. He knew this statement to be false, when he pepnedflt. The Republicans never have made such a charge against the Democrats. They have said, and in behalf of the party we now repeat, that if the right of suffrage is taken from the negro, be will be in !V worse condition, than lie was as a slave. 11c needs the ballot to protect'his right of person and property and to secure educa tion &r his offspring. Ben says that the Republicans advocate the killing of Democratic negroes. He knows this is untrue. Ben mentions the charge that Governor Bullock was in sympathy with, or actually aided,’ tJlis killing'iiiovcment, and then hypocritically adds: “I do not know that this was so.” The rascal knows it iros ’ not so. ,ft acknowledges that the was a secret understanding among the Democrats that the Legislature should adopt some plan to disarm the blacks. That being accomplished, of course they could be butchered with safety. He further substantially acknowledges that in (heir plans, ttic Democratic leaders had marked Cup tai us Pimhcß and Murphy. The reason assigned is that these ex-Fede ral officers might obtain the confidence of the negro, and thus be elected to office. Suppose thy did ? Is office-seeking a crime i If it were, Ben Hill would have been gibhetted long ago. But because Pierce and Murphy were Federal sol diers, and were not ready to apologize for being loyal, the Democrats marked them as victims for assassination. It was vfites that Fierce and Murphy wanted—not blood—and Hill knows it. The Demo crats were not Willing to give them votes, but were determined to take their blood. No amount of wriggling will enable the Democracy to remove this impression from the minds of impartial and disinterested men. The other excuse for the proscription of Pierce and Murphy is too flimsy for any notice. Land that hitherto brought $lO to S2O per acre can now be had at $1 per acre in gold—ami hence the Camilla massa cre. Oh, Ben, Ben, Ben— you're a fool. Ready to Die for Principle.—Ben Hill, in his letter to the New York Tribune, says that he has never seen the day when he would not have given his life “to preserve the Constitution.’ Whew ’ what a whopper! Every man. woman and child in Georgia knows that, during the entire war, he never once risked his carcass in defence of the Confederacy. He per suaded, dragged and drummed the masses of the people into the causeless and hope less struggle, but the gun was not invented with sufficient range to hiivc reached Ben. Hill. J CLEAR RACK DOWN. A document appears in the Democratic papers, which is such a remarkable exam ple of backing down, that wc cannot refrain from giving it n ‘‘'special notice.” It is entitled “An address by the Central Executive Committee of the Democratic party of Georgia.” The committcce start out with the denial that their party is still , rebellious in spirit or that they intend, in the event of the' election of a Democratic- President, to arrest tiie operations of the reconstruction acts in any other way than by an appeal to the Supreme Court. “Notwithstanding,’’ say- the committee “wc hold t hat the Re construction acts were enacted outside of the Constitution, and without Constitu tional authority, wc do not propose or intend to maintain our position by a resort to force. The constitutionality of these acts is a question for the Federal judiciary upon a proper case made.” This is the sum and substance of the document issued by the Democratic Central Committee— this is the ziw platform of the party. That it is a new platform, ami a complete abandonment of the old, nobody ought to know better than the rank and file of their party. When before lias any organ of theirs declared that the election of a Democratic President was only going to result in a law suit? Nowhere, in all the incendiary speeches of lliLir, Toombs A Co., can be found the declaration that they are only going to law to overturn the present State government, and abrogate the reconstruction acts ! Nothing but “ blood, lago, blood I” was the burden of their declarations. If the contest was to be only an amicable and peaceful one, to be fought out in the what use have they for the Ku-Klux?* Why all this violence and proscription ? Why the massacre of Union men ami negroes ? Why the threats of driving out tho “ carpet baggers, and scalawags?” Why all this libelous, personal abuse of members of the other party, in the prospective suit? Such conduct serves no purpose except to damage their own cause. Besides, is it necessary to elect a Demo cratic President in order that the Democ racy may go to Ihw ? The Supreme Court is as open now as it will be if a Democrat is elected. Docs the committee pretend to affirm that a Democratic President can so overawe or corrupt the Court as to procure a decision which could not be got under a Republican President / This committee have but a low estimate of the independ ence and integrity of the Court they pre tend to reverence so highly. If they must have a Democratic President, it would be hard to find one more ready to do their bidding than A. Johnson : he is the most Democratic of Democrats, and why not make a ease now while they have got him in the Presidential chair, rather than, by waiting, run the risk of never making one a* all by never again electing a Democratic President. How can this committee, or the Demo cratic party of Georgia, of which it is the mouth-piece, or rather professes to be, sup port their Presidential ticket with such a wide difference between them and their Candidate for Vice President. Their plat, form nnd tb.-ft of Frank Blair are even wider apart than theirs and that of the Republicans. They say : “We hold, then that the question of the constitutionality of the acts referred to is a question for the judiciary, and not for an appeal to arms, or any violent revolutionary measures to be initiated by the President of the United States to set up, or set aside those measures by his own mere will,” while Blair says, “There is but one way to restore the Government and Constitu tion, and that is for the President elect to declare these (the reconstruction) acts null and void, compel the army to undo its usurpations in the South, disperse the carpet-bag State Governments, allow the white' people to re-organize the State Governments.” Was there ever such a collision between a party and its leader ? The one says the army shall be used by the President to nullify the Reconstruction acts, and that he must “trample into dust the usurpations of Congress known as the Reconstruction acts.” The other declares that the constitutionality of the Recon struction acts is not a question for us to appeal to arms, and that the President should not inaugurate revolutionary mea sures to set aside these acts—Blair shouts “must we submit; shall we submit ?” The committee mildly manner, “In our own State wc recognize the government which has been organized, and will recognize it now, and henceforth, if not superseded by authority of law.” The committee and the party may be Seymourners, but they can hardly be called Blairites. Do they intend to repudiate their candidate for President I “Call you this backing your friends’” It is not difficult to understand this sudden change of tune on the part of the Georgia Democracy. The atrocious utter ances of their orators atid the violence of their press have worked the defeat of Sey. mour. All over the North the speeches of Toombs & Co. have been scattered broad cast, and no talent or ingenuity could produce documents so effective for the benefit of the Republican party. Now, when the medicine has done its work, comes a warning from the Northern Democracy, that if the tone of the oracles of the South, ent wing of Hie party is not moderated, the last faint hope of success will be forever gone. They send out an exhortation to “talk soft," to manufacture a little modern tion for the Northern market, to achieve victory, if possible, by pretending to desire only peaceful and legitimate means. Sue cess once achieved, however, they may repudiate their peaceful platform, as they have just attempted to repudiate their warlike and revolutionary one—but it will not do, the doom of the Democratic party is sealed—all its writhings and twistings will only prolong its agony, without avert ing its fate. Special Notice.—Wc do not undertAke to return rejected communications. OUR ADVICE HEEDED. We were not without hope that the Republican, by its constant and earnest exposure of the folly and wickedness of the policy of hate adopted by the Demo crats of Georgia would cause them to halt, reverse their engines of abuse, let off some of their sulphurous steam, and' run their trains at a moderate, conservative rate of speed. But wc did not expect to realize the reward of our labors so speedily. Verily, there is nothing like possessing convictions, and expressing those convic tions fearlessly. Wc have warned the Democracy of the mischievous and unhappy effect of their style oi conducting the campaign. They have heeded our advice. The Macon Journal <£• Mes senyer is getting as mild as the Christian its editor professes to be should be. Her schel V. Johnson has responded to our late personal appeal, and condemns vio lence of language or conduct. Even little Ranse Wright says there has been too much rash talk. JudgeCabiniss has won derfully improved in temper and style. Even those obdurate cusses in the Georgia House of Representatives arc taming down. We have them on probation. Shumate’s report on the rights of everybody is in marked contrast with his past conduct. But he will not learn how to conduct him self very fast. For instance, he fails to tell the political truth in the report to which this is an allusion. To-morrow we shall point out how widely he has inissed the mark. We shall send him to the foot of our class of reformed Democrats. For his condolence and encouragement, however, wc whisper in his ear that wc have more faith in him than we have in Rance, as wc don’t believe in Rance’s sincerity—Rance is so unreliable. • • MURE DISAFFECTION—SEYMOUR URGED TO DECLINE. Mr. Seymour’s declaration shat his “nomination had plunged him into a sea of trqubles,” was literally true. On Sun day morning wc published the significant mutterings of the Freeman's Journal, an old Democratic and Catholic organ, as well as the announcement of the open repudiation of Mr. Seymour by the popu lar and influential Irish newspaper, The Irish People. The day previous wc pub lished the overwhelming condemnation of Seymour by that life-long Democrat and patriotic statesman, General John A. Dix, who was President of the Philadelphia Johnson-rebel Convention, in August, 1866. Only the day preceding the publication of that letter it was authoritatively proclaim ed that Wm. 11. Seward, (who carries on his shoulders the statesmanship and brains of the Johnson administration,) would use his vast personal influence for Grant and Peace, and against Seymoue and another War. And the panic at the North is increasing ’ The last New York Sun, one of the oldest and most influential dailies published in that city, and which is Democratic in politics, if it is anything, lias a leading editorial urging, in the most earnest and emphatic terms, Mr. Seymour to withdraw from the canvass, and recommend his sup porters to yo in for Grant. In order that the Southern Democracy may understand the true state of .the canvass at the North, and some of the reasons adduced by the Sun in support of the propriety of the adoption of its recommendation, we annex the closing paragraphs of its labored leader: It, thoreioro, becomes Governor Seymour and the Northern wing of the party to see whether they cannot, by a graceful retroat from this po sition, save their honor, and at tho statue time secure some influence and patronage under the next Administration. Let Governor .Seymour, then, in a broad, comprehensive, statesmanlike letter, such as he is well able to prepare, with draw from the canvass, urge his supporters to go in for Grant, and thus make his election unani mous, and restore an era of good feeling such as prevailed when James Monroe was homo into tho Presidential ehair on tho shoulders of all parties, nearly fifty years ago. There are many motives that should impel the party to take this course, besides the defeat which now stares them in tho face. General -Grant is a Democrat of the old Jeffersonian and Jacksonian school. Ho is one of the most lib eral of men. There is no inconsistency in the conduct of tho thousands of Democrats who have already rallied to his standard. By now going over to him in a body, and makiug him in name what be is in sentiment, a national candi date, Governor Seymour and the. Deme.cracy would entitle themselves to a warm place in the affections of one who is as distinguished for generosity as for braver’ . V o should then have arcunion of all parties under a kind hearted, clear-headed, firm and judicious Chief Magis trate, that would revive tho halcyon days of Monroe, when not a note of discord was heard throughout the land, and our country went for ward in a career of prosperity auj glory, which has never been witnessed since that day. Ono es the chief obstacles to arriving at the object we contemplate has happily been removed. Negro suffrage, recently so formidable a stem bling block to tha Democracy, is broken in pieces by the Southern wing of the party, aud they are now gathering the colored voters into the Democratic folds iu all the reconstructed States. If it be objected that the course indicated .might tarnish the prestige of Gov ernor Seymour, we can only xeply that it would be received by all men whoso opinions are ofitho slightest value as one of the most magnaninous and truly patriotic acts ever performed by a great statesman. It would involve no inconsistency and betray no incon stancy, for Governor Seymour did not desire the nomination —was forced into it by a train of adverse circumstances, and accepted it only under an extreme pressure. By now withdraw ing and allowing Gen. Grant to be unanimously elected, he would win tho respect of his oppo nents, evoke the gratitude of patriotic men of all parties, place himself in a position to exert a wise influence upon the polxey of the incoming ad ministration, reorganize parties on a now basis, give the Democracy a renewed lease of life, aud prepare the way for his own future advance ment. This act could in no just sense bo regarded as a surrender of Gov. Seymour and bis party to Gen. Grant, but only a yielding to the exigencies ’-fan extraoridary crisis; though, after Robert E. Leo, doubtless one of the foremost Generals of the age. bad surrendered to Grant his sword and one of tho most powerful military and civil organizations cf modern times, it would certainly be no disgrace to Horatio Seymour aud the Democratic party to emulate such an exam pic. • • Ready to he Sacrificed. —Ben Hill talks flippantly abont being willing to die for his principles. Ben remiuds us very much of the Colorado editor, a memoran dum of whose business we published on Sunday morning. We quote: Spoke of political principle? lor which 1- was willing to sacrifice my life, 118. Changed my political opinions, 16. Ben's is a similar case. He talks of his willingness to he sacrificed for, and changes his political principles with equal facility. CONDEMNED ON ALL HIDES. The Democratic account of the Camilla outrage is all that is necessary to establish the criminality of the Sheriff of Mitchell county and his potse of sympathizers and abettors. The New York S>t>, disposes of the affair in the following trenchant para, graph : The Camilla murders in Georgia, according to the rebel accounts, turn out to be a morn skir mish, in which a few negroes were seriously hurt, from their own imprudence in wishing to carry guns, which the Sheriff took from them : but we don’t hear of the whites being disarmed, or they could nut have turned their guns upon the imprudent negroes. Do the authors of this outrage fancy they can gull the North by sueh subterfuges? If they do, they will bo sternly undeceived at no distant day. It Succeeds Better.—At the com mencement of the campaign the Georgia Democrats attempted the formation of colored Democratic Clubs. Those kind of dubs did not have much effect on blacks. They now have adopted a new plan of electioneering, with much greater success. They shoot all their opponents that at tempt to peaceably assemble for the pur pose of hearing Grant and Colfax speeches. Those that arc killed can never vote, and those who escape will be afraid to attempt it. By this programme the Democrats expect to cast a united vote for Seymour and Blair. k-—■ No Nationality.—The reftl trouble with the Democracy of Georgia is, that in all their speeches, letters, conversations and feelings, there is a total absence of anything like sentiments of elevated nationality. They neither feel nor act as if they considered themselves as citizens of the United States, butas Georgians—Southerners— Con federates. Even their Northern Democratic allies are regarded as sympathetic friends belonging to a different nationality. As to Northern and Southern Republicans, they arc haled with an intensity of malignancy unequalled by savages. This is all wrong. Good men should see tolhe righting of this condition ot Southern politics. .Personally Related?—lt will be remem bered that Frank Blair was kept before the New York Convention by Gens. Preston, of Kentucky, and Wads Hampton, of South Carolina. From the following, which we find in the Cincinnati Commercial, it will be seen that they wore simply pushing forward, a relative: Francis Preston Blair, senior, is the son of General Francis Preston, who lived and died at Abingdon, Washington county, Virginia. Gon. Wade Hampton’s wife is a daughter of Gon. Preston, and a half sister of F. P. Blair, senior. Gen. Preston, of Kentucky, is a nephew of Gen. Preston, of Virginia, and consequently a'cousin of F. P. Blair<jr. Oh Ho!—The editor if the Columbus Sun rs mad because Hon. A. 11. Stephens was permitted to examine some of the records constituting the “ Rebel Archives’’ at Washington, after the aforesaid editor discovered that he could gain no such favor. When the country shall find that the editor of the Sun possesses the character and in tellect of Mr. Stephens, perhaps he will be treated with like consideration. -♦ • - Why he Stumps it. —The Seymour De mocracy complain because General Sicki.es stumps it. The conduct of Mr. Seymour’s friends at Gettysburg, in 1863, compelled General S. to stump it the remainder of his days. They shot off one of his legs. Change of Schedule ON SUMMERVILLE LINE.
