THE SLATE BROKEN.
Wc consider the postponement of the
Congressional election until February as
vacating all the nominations macle, either
by the Republican or Democratic parties.
These nominations were macle under the
impression that the election would take
place in November, and while the political
circumstances of the State remained un
changed. Now, no one who is at all
acquainted with those circumstances can
pretend to deny that the political atmos
phere indicates a total change to take
place at an early clay. After the election of
Grant in November, many qf those who
are now halting between two opinions will
have decided upon their course—many
who are violently opposed to Republican
ism will let their better reason operate,
and will take sides for peace and a stable
Government. Representatives nominated
now and elected in February, will repre
sent quite a different condition of affairs
from that which prevails now. The
opinions of those in nomination now,
may not and most likely will not be
the opinions of the majority of the
people then. It is better, therefore,
to consider ail the nominations made here
tofore as null and void—to call conven
tions, after the election of Grant, to select
new candidates, who shall represent the
feelings of the people as they exist at that
time. The present nominations, Republican
or Democratic, in all probability, will not
be such as will suit either party, after the
Presidential election, even if, after that
time, parties, a,s they are at present con
structed, exist.
Who can doubt that, after the election
of Gkant—an event that is as certain to
happen as the sun sets on the third of
November—the Republican party will be
all-powerful in Georgia? The scoundrels
who are now persecuting, proscribing and
murdering will quail before the tremen
dous demonstrations of the popular will.
i The weak-kneed and anxious—those who
would be patriots if they dared to—will
gain strength to speak with louder voices,
! and each will say to the other:
“If you have whispered truths,
Whisper no longer,
But apeak as the thunder speaks -
‘ Sterner and stronger."
“ OH, LORD, HOW LONG?"'
We have no heart to comment on the
multitude of sickening atrocities perpe
trated throughout Georgia by the Demo
cratic party. Every mail brings us the
i mournful intelligence of some fresh out
> rage on the person of some defenceless
’ supporter of Grant and Colfax. No
voice of rebuke of these assassinations and.
outrages comes from any Democratic or
Conservative source. The whole party is
; responsible for this fiendish state of affairs.
The so-called conservative element are the
guiltiest, because they bad the power to
have frowned down this jay-hawking mode
of electioneering. With cunning duplicity,
Judge Cabiniss is flooding the North with
his specious falsehoods about the peaceable
disposition of his party. Yet he knows
his statements are grossly and wickedly
untrue. lie is not, cannot, be ignorant of
the bloody spirit of the Democracy in
Baker, Mitchell, Columbia, Elbert, Warren,
Wilkes—in fact, everywhere, except in the
large cities. Then, Judge Cabiniss, speak
out! If you are a Christian, have this
murdering cease. It cannot benefit the
Democracy. But it will ruin Georgia.
We have before us a string of resolutions
adopted by a Democratic Club in Warren
«>unty. They are published in the War
renton Clipper, a Democratic paper, and
therefore their authenticity cannot be ques
tioned. That paper says that the Club
consists of sixty-nine white and seventeen
colored Democrats. Here is one of the
resolutions which was unanimously adop
ted:
4th. Resolved, That we propose to give our
assiitance to the Democrats of Warren county,
I to prevent any eealawag or Radical from making
I epeeckee and trying to create strife between thy
white and black.
There it is in black and white. Read it
Union men, read it Northern men, read it
Christian men. How does that resolution
tally with Cabiniss' address ? Is there any
free discussion about this ? If that resolu
tion don’t mean mob law what docs it
mean ? Will the day of deliverance never
come? “How long? Oh Lord! How
long ?” <
GORDON GRANGER SENT TO
TENNESSEE.
The President has ordered “Old Pap’’
Thomas from his command of Kentucky
and Tennessee, and has designated Gen.
Gordon G banger to temporarily discharge
Gen. Thomas’ duties. This is to give the
Tennessee Ku-Klux full swing in Novem
ber. But it won’t win. Those maurauders
had better look sharp ui BROWNLOW will
give some of the guiltier ones a swing they
don’t like.
Gordon Granger is one of the few
Federal officers who support Seymour.—
His head is sore because Gen. Gkant,
during the war, did not entertain as high
opinions of Gordon Granger’s soldierly
qualities as the latter entertained of him
self. That he is a conceited blusterer will,
readily be seen when wc repeat a scrap of
war history which has not yet been made
public. In thq winter of 1803, when Gen.
Gkant was at Chattanooga, he telegraphed
to Gen. Foster-or Burnside, at Knoxville,
asking how long that city could be held,
or, whether it could be held ? Granger
was present, and replied to the*dispatch,
substantially as follows:
“Wc can hold Knoxville until hell freezes
over.”
In less than a month afterward, General
Gordon Granger was relieved- from his
command by General Grant, and exiled,
wc bclieve*to Louisiana. At any rate, he
never served another day under General
Grant's immediate command.
In striking contrast to Granger's was
the response of George 11. Thomas as to.
whether he could hold Chattanooga :
“Wo will hold it till we starve.”
And his army was actually starving then.
But he held Chattanooga.
A MUCH NEEDED REFORM.
It is now an almost universal habit in
our State Legislature for the defeated party
on every question to move a reconsidera
tion. This leads to interminable discus
sion. We are sure wc are not wide of the
mark in stating that the two Houses have
averaged an expenditure of live hundred
dollars per day of the State’s funds in the
discussion of motions to reconsider. As
the rules now stand, one obstinate member
can move to reconsider, and discuss the
merits of reconsideration, although he may
be aware that every one of his fellow
members arc unalterably opposed to recon,
sideration. The rule in Congress, and in
most of the State Legislatures, is, that only
such as vote with the majority can move a
reconsideration, and he must do so within
a specified time. This should be the rule
in the Georgia Legislature. After the first
two sessions of the present General Assem
bly, the sessions will be limited to forty
days, except they are extended by concur
rent resolution of two-thirds of both
Houses. By changing the rule, so that
only a member voting with the majority
shall move a reconsideration, much time
and money will be saved. Then we shall
not hear of so many motions to recon
sider. The majority is generally satisfied
with the result, and the minority is ever
ready to reconsider. What Senator or
Representative will take the lead in this
all-important reform? He that will, be
he Republican or Democrat, will find his
conduct approved by the people.
Advised to “ Stick.’’—The Atlanta CW
stitution advises the Legislature not to ad
journ. He warns them to “stick." The editor
knows that those twenty odd usurpers of
seats belonging to other men, and those
thirty-nine there in open defiance of the
Constitutional Amendment, will not get a
smell of that nine dollars per day after the
election of Grant. Then they will have to
surrender their seats to their lawful pos
sessors, and will no longer draw nine dollars
, a day and mileage. “ Sticking” now is like
I making hay when the sun shines.
_
1 Black Mailing.—Some of the Democracy
in his District are making a great show of
opposition to the nomination of John Mor
rissey, prize-fighter and gambler, for Con
gress. This is only a shrewd way of black
mailing John, who has money, and the cor
rupt bar-room and other pensioners simply
intend to make him shell out; he will shell
out. The Democratic loafers will have'high
old drunks, and John will go to Congress.
The Difference.—The Democracy are
sending colored men all over the State in
order to induce the colored people to vote
for Seymour aud Blair. -They are not
molested. When the Reptiblieans send out
a colored man he is assassinated. That is
the kind of freedom meted out to Repub
licans in Georgia.
What was the Matter i— lt seems that
the Great Blusterer wans’t«We

Senator Wilson’s Opinion.—Senator
Wilson, on his return from a campaign tour
through Pennsylvania, expressed the opinion
that that State was-as sure tor the Republi
cans as was Maine. He estimates the ma
jority at from 15,000 to 20,000.
Court Scene in New Orleans.—The
New Orleans Picayune is responsible for the
following :
The Judge ot one of our municipal courts
sat gloomy and grand on his bench of ermine.
The prisoner occupied the dock apparently
meek and downcast. She had a merry
twinkle in her eye, however, that promised
mischief, and had the magnate but perceived
it, he would have been more careful in his
questions.
“ How many times are you coming up
here ?”
“ What, yer honor?”
“ How many times are you coining before
me? This is the third time the present

“Oh, no, yer honor."
“Didn’t I sec you here yesterday ?’’
“Why, no, yer honor ; it was last night

Washington. September 30, 1868.
Wonders never will cease. President
Johnson hqs received another Republican
delegation from the South, and granted all
that was asked. The Alabama delegation
have fully accomplished all they came
here for, and, as a consequence, are much
elated. Mr. Johnson has some good points-
Let him have his own way, and 'he is as
easily guided as a child: oppose him, and
he is like a mule. At firs’, the delegation
was received rather coldly by the President,
he being on the defensive. Finding no one
to make an attack, he lowered his quills aud
opened his mind to conviction. The result
you know.
Thoro is a cause for this change of feel
ing toward Southern Republicans on the
part of the President. He has been badger
ed at almost every turn by Democratic poli
ticians until his patience is exhausted.—
Vallandighain, Pendleton, Seymour, the
Blairs, Belmont, and a score of lesser lights,
have plead and scolded tor a more out-and
out Democratic policy and hungry office
seekers have importuned for place, but all
in vain. Mr. Johpson stood these attacks un
til patience ceased to be a virtue, and then
struck back by asking the suggestive ques
tion, “What has the Democratic party done
for me that I .should serve it ?” Were it not
for the'old feud with Grant I firmly be.
lieve the President would do everything
in his power to defeat Seymour and
Blair- lie feels that he gave them all the
capital they have had during the three last
years to maintain their organization, and
fully expected a recognition of his services
by being selected as the party standard
bearer. As it is, the President to-day oc
cupies the position of the man when lie saw
his wife and a bear taking a hug—he don’t
care much who is elected.
There has been another conversion in the
Navy Department. Since the Maine elec
tion, Father Welles has become conscious
of the fact that the Republican cause is sure
to triumph in November, and ho bitterly
regrets the aid he extended to the Maine
Democracy. Randall, member of Congress,
of Pennsylvania, called at the Navy Depart
ment, , immediately after the election, to
carry out a previously arranged programme
as to the Philadelphia Navy Yard, when he
was summarily snubbed and sent about his
business. The Cabinet now stands three
Republicans—Seward, Welles and Evarts—
to five Democrats. The Postmaster-General
is only‘awaiting ‘a favorable opportunity to
declare for Grant; be probably will do so by
the 14th of October, for he likes to be on the
winning side.
An Alabama gentleman, a native of the
Stat”, and before the war a large slave
holder, but now an active Republican, a few
days ago bad an interview with the Presi-'
dent, and opened the eyes of that functionary
by relating to him a plain, unvarnished tale,
as to the condition of affairs in that State,
i he gentleman referred to told the President
that be had been warned a score of times
within the last month by leading Democrats
residing in his neighborhood, who had
known him from boyhood, that if Seymour
aud Blair should be elected, every carpet
bagger and scalawag in the State would be
hanged, aud he was selected as the first vic
tim. These cowardly threats to Union men,
he told th _■ President, were of daily occur
rence, and made publicly. This, and an
array of similar fact::, seemed to open a new
chapter of the rebellion to the President, as
though he had never heard of such outrages
before, or believed them now for the first
time. The next rebel delegation that comes
along will probably dispel his fears by a
glossary ot lies.
Writing of “carpet baggers” reminds me
of thp tact that three-fourths of the members
ot the present Congress, from the old free
States, represent States in which they were
not born. In a word, according to the rebel
chroniclers, they are carpet-baggers. 1
observe that the rebel editors are trying to
quality this term by confining its application
to Northerners who go South solely to seek
office, and, failing in this, return to the
North again—but that men who go there to
locate and engage in some legitimate busi
ness are respected, and their rights protected.
The falsity of thi;j statement is apparent in
every Southern Democratic newspaper
issued. I venture the assertion, that nine
hundred and ninety-nine out of every thou
sand office-holders in the Southern States
had, at the time of their election or appoint
ment, some legitimate business where they
resided. (Officers of the Army and the
Freedmen’s Bureau, of course, are not in
cluded in this category ; they are sent South
for a special purpose, and have as much
right to reside in one State as another.)
Take the members of Congress as an exam
ple, and, with one single exception, they
ail would come under the modified form of
carpet-baggers. And which one, in the
whole seven States, of these members
has not been slandered aud abused by
the fiends in human shape who eon
trol tha rebel or Democratic press of the
South ? There is not a single exception,
One of the best abused men of the lot is
Senator Abbott, oi North Culo’iiia. He
fought his way into the State over Fort
Fisher, at the head of a division, and has
remained there ever ;i:icc. Directly and
indirectly, through bis agency, he has
brought into the State during the last three
years more than one million dollars, and
hundreds of able-bodied men ; he has a
large capital of his own invested, aud gives
constant employment to more than two hun
dred aud fifty person-. He has built up a
village on one of his plantations, containing
one hundred and fifty houses, and is con
stantly exerting his influence to bring
Northern capital and muscle into the State.
He has done more during the last few years
for Ihe good of his adopted State than a
thousand of your Grahams aud Vances could
do in a life time. And yet every rebel
paper, from one end of the State to the
other, has endcawred to heap obloquy upon
his name. Such is a leading carpet-bagger
of North Carolina.
A private letter from Texas, to an officer
of the Government, asserts that the butcher
Quantrel, who suddenly disappeared during
the latter part of the war, and was supposed
to have been killed, is alive in Texas, and
at the head of a band of robbers, murdering
and harrassing Union people. Efforts will
be made doubtless to capture him. Quan
trtf! and Forrest would make excellent Dem
ocratic Congressmen.
Ihe people of your neighboring State of
Alabama should be' on the lookout for a
dangerous set of carpet-baggers who have
recently visited that State from Boston,
Massachusetts. They have obtained control
and will complete, at an early day if Grant
is elected, the Chattanooga and Meridian ;
Railroad, which will materially shorten the 1
distance tartween New York and New
Orleans. The agent of this Company, while |
there a few weeks ago, left word that if the
Solorcd men were discharged for voting the
•
Republican ticket, he would furnish em
ployment for ten thousand of them on the
Railroad. These Boston carpet-baggers
should be looked after forthwith by the
K. K.’s. It is a matter of official record
hero that the K. K.’s can raise four hundred
men, masked, armed and mounted in half a
day in every county o( Alabama.
Anther dangerous institution for the K.
K.’s is the National Freedmen's Savings
Trust Company. By the official report for
the last month it appears that the total
deposits in the several branches !<n- the
month amounted to $233,014.40. During
the same period of time there was drawn
out $220,103.17, making an excess of de
posits over drafts of $12,851.28. The total
amobnt now on deposit—sß3s,s2l.47 —a
handsome sum when it is considered these
people don't know how to take care of them
selves. «
Within the next two weeks the turning
point in the campaign will be reached—
that is if Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana
go Republican on the 13th of October, then
the Democrats agsec to give up the contest
for President. You might as well get your
big gun ready to announce the victory, for
these States will astonish all rebeldom by
their Republican majorities.
Blair, jr, is here on another Hying visit
to consult with his Pa, at Silver Springs.
He is morose and sour, and will leave for
the west to-night. The pluck is all out of
him.
The dead lock in the Board of Aldermen
has been broken and a Republic in Presi
dent has been elected. This places the
whole city government in Republican hands.
The Army is to be weeded again—Gen.
Grant having issued an order which will
result in the removal of all incompetents
whether that incompetency comes from
whisky or gambling.
The meeting of the “Boys in Blue - ’ at
Philadelphia, to-morrow, bids fair to eclipse
any previous meeting of these veterans.
