THE ELECTIONS TO-DAY.
As everybody has been informed, elec
tions will be held in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana to-day. The Democracy have
fought this campaign with much more
energy and determination than they will
display in the purely Presidential canvass.
The reason for this fact is, that many of
the old leaders are moving heaven and
earth to secure seats in Congress. It is idle
now to speculate on the Jesuit. We feel
confident that the Republicans will carry
all three States; yet, if, by fraud and
colonization, we should lose any one State,
we shall be in no wise cast down. We
know that General Grant is much stronger
than his party —by from live to fifteen
thousand in each State. We shall probably
be able to announce the result in the
Republicak of to-morrow morning.
THE PROCL A JLI TION.
The Governor’s last Proclamation carry
ing out the wishes of the Democratic
Legislature is decidedly an improvement
on the first. Indeed, we cannot conceive
how any law-abiding citizen .can form an
opinion differing from us. It is avowedly
intended to crush out Republican and
Democratic violence alike. What citizen
regrets that a company has been ordered
to Augusta ? Who now has any serious
apprehension of anything like a riot here
on election day ? The Proclamation has
no harsh words for the well-disposed of
any party. All others merit the warning
which this Proclamation gives. This Proc
lamation means Peace.
A Dark Suggestion.—General Simon B.
Buckner is the principal editor of the Lou
isville Courier, and of course is a zealous
champion of the Blair programme. In a
recent eulogium of the young revolutionist.
General Buckner says: "There are qualifi
cations of no alight importance in a Vico
Presidential candidate, especially when wc
take into consideration the possibility that,
in the dispensation of an inscrutable Provi
dence, he may have the duties of the first
I oficc in the nation to discharge."
If this is not a dark hint at assassination
should Seymour be elected, what is it?
• •
How Andy Johnson Escaped Being
Hung by Hindman.—The recent assassina
tion of the rebel General Hindman revives,
in the mind of Governor Brown low, a remi
niscence ns to the manner in which Andy
Johnson escaped being hung by the afore
said Hindman. The latter was in Command
at Knoxville, and having ascertained that
Johnson would endeavor to refugee on a
certain night, he demanded of Mr. John R.
Brannkk, President of the East Tennessee
and Virginia Railroad, an engine and car,
with which to pursue our present President.
Mr. Branner, being a Union man, was
unable to furnish transportation. This
statement is entirely true, as we have had
them from Mr. Bkakner’s own lips.
•♦♦♦■ -
Opposed to Gen. Butler.— The New
York Times comes out, flat-footedly, against
the re-election ot Ben Butler to Congress,
and recommends the election of Hon. R. 11.
Dana, his Republican competitor. There
would be few tears shed over the defeat
of Butler by a good Republican like Mr.
Dana.
Always Winner.—The editor of the La-
Grange Reporter says “that he hopes to make
a white man's paper of the Republican ;
that he has tried Dr. Bard, with an utter
failure," etc. We hardly understand the
Reporter. We have noticed that the Era
claims always to be victorious. »o odds who
is winner!
Ma».—The Columbus Stm is mad be
cause the members of the Legislature saw
fit to present the Doorkeeper of the House
(I ncle Jim Oslix) with a, gold watch. He
is also mad with the Atlanta Baptist
Fair.
Gen. Kilpatrick, in a recent speech,
made the following declaration : “ I told
Horatio Seymour to his face in 1803 that
he was head and front of the riots, and
that the Government ought to send him
under guard to Fort Lafayette. If I had
been in command I would have done it.”
- — —
Gen. Sickles writes to a gentleman in
Cleveland: “I am rejoiced to hear from
every quarter that tihiv is sure for Grant.
Pennsylvania is all right, and do not regard
me as a rush man when 1 tell you that Now
York is as sure for.GttANT as Ohio.”
OCR FUTURE PRESIDENT.
The Democratic party, or at least that
portion of it who are desirous of office,
profess to believe that General Grant will
be the last President elected by the people
of these United States.
Nearly, if not all. the Southern dema
gogucs see the handwriting on the wall.
B. F. Perry, of South Carolina, says : “If
the Radicals should carry this election, 1
have no idea that the American people
will ever have an opportunity of electing
a constitutional President of these I nitfd
States.”
15. H. Hill, who wore out all bis Demo
cratic friends in the South by long-winded
letters and speeches, has gone North; and
being disappointed in not receiving invi
tations to “drink wine nor cat tine din
ners," punishes the Republican newspa
pers by inflictions of long harangues on
“the situation.” Brick PoMF.imy rapshim
smartly over the knuckles as follows:
•We would respect fully suggest to Mr. B.
11. Hill, of Georgia, that it is barely pos
sible that the Democrats of the North and
West understand how to run the campaign,
and what issues to press in the canvass, as
well as he does.” The Augusta Constitu
tionalist copies the above, which is cer
tainly very unkind in the Democratic or
gan here.
Toombs is entirely shut up. He recently
spoke a piece at Waynesboro, which was
never published. Later still, at a pow
wow in Wilkes county, the Great Blusterer
was indisposed— not so sick, though, but
that he could introduce the speakers.
All these facts go to prove that the
Democratic party—North and South —are
fully convinced that General Grant will
be the next President, and that he will so
conduct the affairs of this great nation
that the people in their majesty will de
mand his continuance in office. This,
naturally, is not what the Democratic
party desire, as they will be ruled out oi
the offices.
That great Statesman, Chief Justice
Chase, predicts that, after the election,
the country will surely prosper. The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says that ••Intimate friends
of Chief Justice Chase say that he has
recently spoken very freely in regard to
the pending election. He thinks that
Grant will carry all the States, with the
exception of six or eight, and that after he
becomes President the country will surely
prosper. In Iris opinion Grant will make
a prudent and honest officer; will assume
no powers that do nbt belong to him, tmd
will, by his management of the affairs of
the country, make a reelection in 1872 an
easy matter. Mr. Chase adds that the
present political campaign clearly demon
strates the fact that the Democratic party
of the Norklr cannot remain united with
the Democratic party of the South and
hope for success. The leaders might,
agree, but the masses never.”
Who is there that does not, in the inner
most depths of his heart, believe every
word of the above t
Our honest conviction is that Presiden
tial elections arc too frequent. No sooner
is a candidate elected than the losing party
commence pulling the wires for the next
election—thus keeping the country in a
continuous turmoil.
Finally, we say, elect Grant, and our
word for it, we shall have Peace through
out the length and breadth of the land.
And, under the benign administration of
the Second Washington, the American
people will, as one man, demand Iris con
tinuance in office, so long as lie may live !
TWO PROPHECIES.
Albert Pike, a strenuous advocate for
the election ot Seymour and B-laik, ex
claims in the Memphis Appeal:
“The South is our land; the North is a for
eign and hostile realm. The day will come when
the South will be indeptmde'nt."
Yes, the South will be Independent.—
But Independence will not come until a
more liberal spirit is manifested toward
all other classes of citizens by those who
arrogantly claim to possess fill the intelli
gence, decency, virtue and patriotism at
the South.
Up to this hour, since the close of the
war, every white man who has dared to op
pose the proscriptive policy of those among
us calling themselves Democrats, anil every
colored man who has had sufficient sell-re
spect to refuse to bow down in adoration
of their former masters whether regard
ing themselves us worthy of adoration or
not ■ have Ixten denounced, persecuted,
prescribed they and their families cruelly*
ostracised—by that party. It must be
evident to all intelligent minds, that this
state of things cannot continue if we would
enjoy Independence.
When the few now claiming the right to
think for and to control the actions of all
the otheis nt the Sontli, shall have made
up their minds to leave who are legally
entitled free to exercise the privileges of
freemen, in the same manner and to the
same extent with themselves, then we may
hope to attain that Independence so much
coveted by good men of every class nt the
South. Bitt Independence will not be
reached one hour sooner.
When Reason is permitted to resume her
sway, and “Wisdom, Justice -and Modera
tion" shall govern the actions of men;
when the rights of every man—however
insignificant he nuiv appear in the eyes of
othere—are respected, and all are made to
feel secure in their persons and property at
the South, as at the North or elsewhere in
the United States, then Independence will
come to her people; but not sooner.
If those opposing Democracy at the
South could uncomplainingly and submis
sively accept the humiliations which that
party have sought anti still seek to impose
upon them, they would lie unworthy citi
zens of a free country and undeserving of
Independence. But they 'tie worthy anti
•Unerring; the bigoted Democracy will yet
acknowledge them tv be no, and than the
Sorin will be Indei’kxjte.nT !
—Every time you avoid doing wrong, you
increase your inclinations to do that which
is right.
HOW TO VOTE.
As a large portion of the citizens of
Georgia have never participated in a Presi
dential election, it is a matter of exceeding
importance that every Republican should
be thoroughly advised as to how bo should
vote, in order to have his vote counted.
The voter need not necessarily have the
names of Grant and Colfax on Iris ticket.
It is usual for the. names of the Presiden
tial and Vice Presidential candidates to
head the names of the candidates for
Electors; but such a ticket gains no single
advantage over the ticket that simply con
tains the names of the Electoral candi
dates.
Indeed, in this matter, the Republicans
cannot be too cautious. The Democracy
arc unscrupulous, and will not hesitate to
print the names of Grant and Colfax
over their Democratic Electoral ticket-
Every such vote cast by a Republican,
under the impression that he is voting for
Grant and Colfax, will really be counted
for Seymour and Blair. And there will
be no help for it. On the other hand, a
simple vote for Grant and Colfax or
Seymour and Blair will not be counted at
all. The vote that is sure to be counted is
the one containing the names of the nine
Republican candidates for Elector. This
fact should be explained to every Repub
lican in Georgia, to the end that no vote
shall be lost.
Another fact should not be ignored: All
the voting must be done on one day.

SECRETARY SCHOFIELD FOR
GDRNT.
The following letter, written by Andy
Johnston’s Secretary of War, Gen. Scho
field, has just been printed. Itisa notable
fact, to which we have repeatedly called
the atention of the people, that Gen. Scho
field regards the platform and the candi.
dates as a triumph of the reasonable elo.
ment in the Republican party :
Headq’rs First Military District, I
Richmond, Va., May 25, 1868. )
Geu. U. S. Grant, Washington, D. C.—
Dear General : I hope you will not
think it out of place for me to tender you
my most hearty congratulations upon the
action of the Chicago Convention. The per
fect unanimity and great enthusiasm*.of
your nomination were certainly gratifying
as being a formal ratification of the popu
lar endorsements of your public record
which have hetofore been made throughout
the country. But' your unanimous nomina
tion was long predetermined, and was but
the fulfillment of universal expectation. On
the othcT hand, when the Convention met
there was ground for apprehension that its
action in other respects might not be so
wise. But that apprehension has, at least,
in a great degree, been dispelled.—
The judicious selection of Mr. Colfax
as second on the ticket, and the general
practical wisdopi displayed in framing the
platform—that is, in laying down practical
rules of action, based upon the necessities
of the country, instead of abstract political
theories—have greatly increased the proba
bilities of success, and at the same time
made that success the more to be desired.
I have always believed that the Union could
be fully restored only by the men who put
down the rebellion, tv hi ft I have not been
without serious apprehension that by forcing
upon the country extreme radical theories
the stability of the Government might be
endangered. Great reforms require time
for their full development—time in which
theories may bo analized, and that which is
sound and of practical utility separated from
the unsound and chimerical. Wisdom and
moderation in Congress will now give the
country restoration and peace. Your elec
tion to the Presidency will be the end of our
political troubles, as your accession to the
Commander-in-Chief of the army was the
end of the Southern rebellion.
Very respectfully.
Your obedient servant,
J. M. Schofield,
Brevet Major General.

Still they Come.—General Alcorn, of
Mississippi, a Confederate officer of distinc
tion, who is now supporting Grant and
Colfax, said, in a recent speech at Helena
Arkansas:
He did not for himself claim tp be a Rad
ical, but when he laid down the Confederate
flag he never intended to Hout it again, as do
some who risked nothing in the war. He
asserted that there weemed to be a determi
nation to corrupt the youth ; that, the schools
fostered bitterness and kept alive disloyalty
by allowing arid permitting the Confederate
flag to be displayed before the doors and in
the schools; that it was boldly carried in
procession, at Friar’s Point, iu Mississippi,
ami that the Union flag was stoned'; that all
these things indicated that the objects of the
war were not entirely given up. He was in
lavur of this Government, because it was
the best in the world, the most beneficent
and humane ; that, of course, he expected
that his lands would be confiscated and him
self punished for the part he took in the war
as a Confederate General; but that he had
all his lauds, haff not been restrained in his
wish to come and go, whenever and wherever
he pleased; nor has he ever heard of one
single individual who had been punished for
treason, but, that all had fall liberty to utter
their opinions, which many enjoyed only
when cursing the country and those that
made the laws.
He was in favor at the election of Gen.
Grant, because he stood between the insane
wrath of President Johnson and the South
|'h people. He could not accept the Demo
cratic policy, because it would imperil the
whole country,, aud spread ruin over the
South
In conclusion, he exhorted all to cast
aside prejudice and ill will, and accept the
terras offered by Congress, and go and build
up the waste places.
True—Gen. Vaxderver, an old Demo
crat, in a speech at Hamilton, Ohio, a few
days ago, is reported to have said: “They
tell us that the freedman is incapable of
exercising the right of suffrage, but he is
just as capable as the Democrat who votes
that ticket simply because his father was a
Democrat.” Or, wc may add, as the man
whose conscience tells him the Democrats
are wrong, and who has not the moral
honesty to oppose them.
■ a a ♦ —————
CuAxuEb His Opinions.—We would like
to know what Mr. Blair’s Democratic
friends of th.- South think about the follow
ing item ?
The lielinont Chronicle mys that in 1865,
just before the close of the war, Gsn. Blair
was at Bellaire, Ohio. Being asked how
the people of the South could be reconciled
after they were whipped, he answered : “1
don’t know, but if I had my way, I would cut
the levees of the Mississippi and drown
ev«ry d d one of them.”
The London Lancet thinks many of the
hair “washes’’ and “restorers” now in use
may lie a source of serious disease.
I’OLIHCAL UHII’BAHKET.
A wolf in sheeps clothing—Seymour, the
aristocrat, in the garb of a Democrat.
Laughable—The promises which the
Democrats are ready to make io the people.
Robbery—The speculations in gold by
Secretary McCulloch and his Democratic
friends.
The pct of Democracy, McClellan, has
fallen. None, to day, “so poor as to do him
reverence."
Whom have the slave oligarchs and
Southern aristocrats selected arftheir nation
al representative ? Horatio Seymour, the
psuedo-fsrmer of Deerfield.
McCulloch sells the gold in the Treasury
to his Democratic friends when gold is cheap
est instead of when it highest. Every one
can make his own comment.
When gold was $1.50 Secretary McCul
loch refused to sell gold ; his Democratic
friends have just bought fifty millions at
sl.4o—a loss to the Treasury of $500,000.
The Commercial says : “There was a very
empty show of brains at Union Square, but
a magnificent display of muscle—hard-fisted
and unwashed Democracy.”
According to the Argus, the Democrats
can defray the ordinary expenses of the
government with $2,000,000 or $25,000,000
a year—they are not particular which.
The Democrat has found a new weapon to
use against Grant: he has a salary, lias had
several costly presents, and is allowed horses
for himself and staff: Ergo— Grant is a de-,
testable fellow, etc.
The Democrats had inscribed on their
banners, at the big meeting in New York:
“ Temperance I Soberness I Chastity ! is the
policy of Seymour 1” The Millennium is
near at hand. Let them add, “ Christianity,
Decency, Honesty, and the other virtues."
Cobb and B. H. Hill came North, a few
weeks since, to stump for Seymour and Blair.
Nowhere were they invited to speak. Cobb
has left in disgust, Ijpt Hill tarries, hoping
for a recognition from the ungrateful (or
cautious) Democracy. He stands on Hamp
ton’s “plank.”
The Argus says if the Democrats had
power they would make greenbacks as good
as gold in three years. The Republicans
can do it in one year, according to the Sec
retary of the Treasury, and in less time, if
the business interests of the country will
permit the resumption of speci ■ payments.
Seymour’s “friend,” Beauregard, wrote in
1862 : “We will yet have to come to pro
claim this war a war to the knife, when no
quarter will be asked or granted. I believe
it is the only thing which will prevent re
cruiting at the North.” Recruiting flagged,
and Seymour cried : “ Stop the draft.”
