Thia ia a Republic where the Will of

|U. S. Grant.
“ Watch over the preservation of the Union
with zealous eye, and indignantly frown upon
the first dawning of every attempt to alienate
any portion of the Country from the rest, or
to enfeeble the sacred ties, which now link
together the various parts.”—Washington’s
Famwei.l Address.
The Policy of President Grant.
The newspapers arc indulging very
freely iu speculations as to what will
be the policy of General Grant, when
he assumes the control of affairs as
President of the United States. A
portion of the Georgia press deserve
commendation for a sensible determi
nation to patiently await the dovelopj
ment of events, and not gibbet him in
advance. WHilo this course is clearly
their policy, and likewise their duty,
we are constrained to compliment
them, because of late years so few edit
ors have acted with real good judg
ment, that a note should be made of
every improvement. What these jour
nals mean by’ giving General Grant
“a fair trial,” we are left to conjec
ture. It can hardly be possible that
they expect as much and will accept
no less from him, tlian they’ would have
expected and required of Mr. Sey
mour, if he had been elected Presi
dent instead of General Grant. In
other words, we cannot conceive it pos
sible that they have so low an esti
mate of General Grant’s character, as
to deem him capable of accepting a
Republican nomination on a well de
fined platform, and, after his election,
to plumb his official action by the plat
form of an antagonist. They have
studied his character to little purpose,
if they suppose his name is Andrew
Johnson, or that his is the character
of a demagogue. Even if it were,
Johnson’s fate would furnish a timely
warning, instructing him to avoid the
latter’s errors.
But surely the apparently kindly
disposed press of the State indulge no
such unreasonable and exacting expec.
tations of Geveral Grant as those we
have just referred to. If they do not,
and are willing to concede the ques
tions settled at the polls on the 3d inst
as settled, and to abide by the deci,
sion—then, our word for it, they will
find a true friend in the President elect,
and we shall have a Grant party in
Georgia, embracing the ablest, best,
purest and most conservative citizens
of the State.
In order that we may arrive at some
thing like r. correct estimate of the
probable policy of our next President,
we reproduce his Letter of Accept
ance :
Washington, D. C., May 29,1868.
To General Joseph R. Hawley, President Na
tional Union liepublican Convention:
In formally accepting the nomination of
the “National Union Republican Conven
tion” of the. 22d of May, instant, it seems
proper that some statement of views beyond
the mere acceptance of the nomination should
be expressed.
The proceedings of the Convention were
marked with wisdom, moderation, and pa
triotism, and I believe express the feelings of
the great mass of those who sustained the
country through its recent trials. I endorse
their resolutions.
If elected to the office of President of the
United States, it will be my endeavor to ad
minister all the laics in good faith, with econ
omy, and with the view of giving peace,
quiet and protection everywhere. Tn times
nice the present it is impossible, or at least emi
nently improper, to lay down a policy to be ad
hered to, rigid or wrong. Through an admin
istration of four years new political issues not
foreseen are constantly arising, and the views
of the public on old ones axeconstaidly chang
ing, and a purely administrative officer should
always be left free to execute the will of the peo
ple. I have always respected that will, and
always ’liall. Peace, and universal prosperi
ty, its seoucree, with economy of admisistra
tion, will lighten the burden of taxation,
while it constantly reduces the national debt’
Let us have peace.
With great respect, your obedient servant,
U. 8. Grant.
New, that the election is over, we
ask our citizens to read this admirable
letter carefully. Although short, it is
overflowing with suggestive points.
1. He characterizes the proceedings
of the Convention as “marked with
wisdom, moderation and patriotism,”
and further expresses the opinion that
they express “ the feelings of the
great mass who sustained the country
through its great trials.” Could an
endorsement of a Convention or a
platform be fuller or more complete ?
Again, he says ho will “endeavor to
administer all mws in good faith.”
Does not this necessarily imply the
administering and sustaining the Re
construction laws of Congress, and the
recognition and support of the State
Governments, created by virtue
thereof?
He furthermore averts that he will
give “ protection” everywhere. This
can mean nothing else thtw that one I
party shall not annihilate the other in
any Sta to of the Union, by any system
of proscription or violence ior pojitical
opinion’s sake.
In addition, he considers the Presi
dency “ a purely executive office,”
and dcsirol to-be left free to * exo
cute the will of the people,” as
expressed by Thdir Representatives-
But the cdhtroliing and noblest
sentiment of the letter is General
Grant’s yearning desire for peace.
In this wc are with him, heart and
soul. As we have said every day
since the election, the Southern peo
ple can secure this blessed boon at
once by making peace at home with
their neighbors, and by recognizing
what has already’ been done as
binding. This will disarm the
Julians, Ashleys, and the other
hot-headed characters, and render
them harmless. The people of Geor
gia can do more to restore harmony,
good feeling and prosperity, than
Gen. Grant and all the officials at
Washington combined, by pursuing
this sensible and plain lino of duty.

Encouraging Peijury.
That cxemplas/ guardian of the
people’s morals and pattern of respet.
ability, the Chronicle, exoprts its
readers in this wise: “ Havn’t you
paid your taxes ? Well, if you can’t
pay all you owe, pay as much as is in
your power to pay, and then take the
oath with a clear conscience. Don’t
hold back on frivolous pretexts,” and
more to the same purpose in regard
to registering for the coming city
election.
Now, the Chronicle directly ad
vises the citizens of Augusta to com
mit perjury. The meaning of the
advice is plain : If you don’t want to
pay your taxes, don’t pay them, but
go forward and swear that you have
paid them; if you have paid a part,
swallow the oath as it stands, never,
theless—swear ’you have paid the
whole. If it was inconvenient for
you to spare the money, you may,
“ with a clear conscience,” swear that
it was “ out of your power” to pay,
because you wanted the money for
another purpose. Such are the
Chronicle’s ethics.
It will be very hard to persuade any
body that he is an honest man, who,
holding property, will swear that it is
not in his power to pay the taxes upon
that property. We have heard of prop
erty sold for taxes elsewhere, but, for
tunately for Augusta, there is very lit
tle property in this city which is not
worth the taxes due upon it; and we
make this proposition to the property
holder who Is tempted to swear that
it is-out of his [tower to pay his taxes:
if he wilL-soU his property for the
amount of taxes due upon it, we will
find men who will take it at that
price.
Let no man with a “conscience” pay
any regard to the counsel of the Chron
icle. If he follows its advice, and his
conscience does not become wholly
callous, from habitual reading of that
paper, he will find it will hurt him
some.
—«
The Radical Faction. —Much has
been spoken and written about the
“ Radical faction” in Congress, and the
fact adverted to that General Grant
was not its first choice for the Presi
dency. Those familiar with the history
of the Republican party know that
this faction never obtained its first
choice for the Presidency except, per
haps, in 1856, when Fremont was the
candidate. Seward and Chase were
their men in 1860. In 1864, they
made open war on Lincoln until the
vqice of the people awed them into
silence. Andy Johnson was put on
the ticket for the Vice-Presidency by
what wils termed the “ advanced Rad
icals.” This class of politicians have
never controlled in the counsels of the
party except when the indiscreet poli
ticians of the South have furnised
them the capital upon which to operate.
It is time such foolishness should cease.
The Reward for Ruffin’s As
sassin.—We are pained to see that
some of the Democratic press censure
Governor Bullock for offering a
reward for the apprehension of the
assassin of A. G. -Ruffin. Some of
them go out of their way to misstate
the circumstances of his death, assert
ing that he was killed during a riot.
Such is not the fact. Everything was
quiet, and his assassination was as
atrocious as was that or zvolbAH *M |
Lincoln by J. Wilkes Booth. All
the facts were promptly forwarded
to the Governor, and if he had failed
to issue this proclamation, offering a
reward, he would have been recreant
to his highest duty as Chief Magis
trate of the State. We believe that
the Governor has offered no reward
for the arrest of the slayer of any
person killed in a riot.
• ■——
Impeachment.—The Columbus Sun
advocates impeachment because Gov
ernor Bullock offers n, reward for an
assassin.
Desmuable.—General Reynolds,
commanding in Texas, reports that
since tl)e close of the war, there have
been officials’ reported to him, as oc
curring in uat State, seven hundred
and stety-ofte Rieing of
whites by negroes, and four hundred
and sixty-four being of negroes by
whites. The utter worthlessness of
the civil authority is shown by the
fact that on/y one person has been
Kung against this startling record of
murder. The General says it is im
possible to get the courts to do justice
iu behalf of negroes, where the of
fender is a white person. ,
Not Good Policy.—The worst
misfortune that could liefal the South
ern States would be a rupture be
tween Gen. Grant and Congress.
There can be no doubt that if John
son hail been less bull-headed, and
more reasonable, there would have
been less bitterness and fewer harsh
acts of Congress. Violence is not
statesmanship, nor unreasonable te
nacity wisdom. In a republic, all
should yield something for the good
of the whole.
A Brilliant Flank Movement. —
General Grant has shown his good
sense and modesty by flanking the
many bores who menaced him with a
public reception on his return to Wash
ington city. He arrived there quietly
on Saturday evening last, and sat
quietly’ smoking a cigar in his own
house, before it was known by the
flunkeys, who were on the qui vive,
that he had left Galena. Huzza for
Grant, Peace and Prosperity.
Not'Much Benefit.—Some of the
Democrats hint at the removal of Gov
ernor Bullock by impeachment. They
would jnake much by placing Hon.
Benjamin Conley, Resident of the
Senate, in the Gubernatorial Chair.
Upon reflection, wc rather guess they
would not relish the change. Besides,
it may not be healthy for the present
Legislature to undertake the job.

Letter from the State Capital.
Keeping up the Wind—City Election—The
National Republican—The Capital—State
Road—The Governor.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 11, 1868.
Editor Republican : Since the
election we have had a comparatively
quiet time at the Capital; however, the
excitement has not entirely subsided,
apparently. Upon waking every
morning the city papers are at hand,
and, of course, the first duty is to read
the news, and not uufrequently we
find many and urgent calls to the Y.
M. D.’s, “to meet promptly at this
p. m. Business of great importance
will come before you.” The laugh
conics when one reflects how often
such “calls” appeared previous to the
3d instant, and that the present ones
are merely to keep up the wind. It
is all understood. Very few ever at
tend.
LOCAL.
The Democracy have settled upon
a portion of the ticket they will vote
at the city election in December.
Query ?
Is it not strange that the cry
about, fraud, in the recent election
in this Stale, on the part of the Dem
ocratic press, is scarcely heard now ?
It is certainly not consistent with their
former course.
THE REPUBLICAN.
The readers of the Republican arc
glad, but not at all surprised, to know
that the little quasi threats which it
has been the recipient of recently, has
not debarred its able editor from con
tinuing its publication, and we still
expect the National Republican to
live on and prosper in its good work,
to engage in many more Presidential
canvasses, lending its great influence
to the right, and coming out victorious
in the end.
the CAPITOL.
The new capitol building is pro
gressing rapidly, and when completed
there will be elegant quarters for the
Governor, the various officers of the
State, Assembly, etc. It will, no doubt,
be ready for the Legislature by Jan
uary.
VISITORS.

Blodgett of Augusta, Senator Harris
of Newton, Mr. Caldwell of Troup,'

A few of the papers of the State
have attempted to find fault with the
management of this great road, but all
have signally failed thus far; their
mean little utterances are of no im
portance, and clearly show the game
they are playing. The people are satis
fied with the manner in which their
interests are cared for by its able and
efficient Superintendent —they know
that the expenses w , the road every
way have been largely reduced, and at
this season when the business of the
road is lighter than at any other time
almost, it is unusual for so large a
sum as Ticenty-five thousand dollars
to be paid into the Treasury. This
amount was placed there by Col. Hul
bert, the receipts for October. If re

Our Washington Letter.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 7, ’OB.
General Grant is still determined to
avoid being lionized. Several organ
izations in this city, spurred on by a
few individuals desirous of making
themselves conspicuous, had made ex
tensive arrangements to getup a grand
ovation upon his arrival here. The
leading spirits studied over their little
speeches and wrote to find out when
the object of their adoration would
arrive. They were informed, not
directly, but through General Dent,
that he was to leave Galena on Thurs
day last, and it would lie impossible to
state at what time he might reach
Washington; moreover, that ne wished
to avoid any demonstration, upon his
arrival. Inc committees concluded
that the opportune moment would not
come before the middle or latter part
of next week, and made their arrange
ments accordingly. Not to be fore
stalled, however, and surcharged with
speeches, they’ resolved to deliver
themselves at once, and, on Friday,
Grant was congratulated by proxy,
through his staff. Their mortification,
upon learning, this evening, that Grant
was smoking a cigar very quietly at
his residence in this city, can be im
agined. The President elect dreads
the ordeal through which he will have
to pass between this and the 4th of
March next more than he did the cam
paign, and even more than the respon
sibilities he will soon assume. He left
Galena purposely to avoid an expected
raid of visitors there. It is estimated
that not less than five hundred “prom
inent politicians” started for Galena
immediately after the result of the
election‘was known, to give advice
and seek favors of the coming man.
He not only flanked this batch of as
sailants, but also the committees of
“prominent citizens” at different points
along the route to Washington. It is
a pity to lose so many patriotic
speeches, but the General’s personal
friends here console themselves with
the fact that he has shown great stra
tegic powers, if not positive genius, in
thus avoiding political bores. If he
steers as clear of Cabinet-makers in
the future, his Administration will,
doubtless, be a success.
The question of reconstruction is
now in away 1 o be speedily disposed
of. But the Republican party can not
yet fold their tents; a great work is
yet to be done—and that is to make
this country a Republic in fact as well
as in name. This, prominent leaders
say, will not be the case so long as any
State makes any distinctian as to race
or color. This can only be accom
plished by an amendment to the Con
stitution. It is believed Judge Kelly,
of Pennsylvania, will take the initia
tive in this matter early in December
by proposing an amendment that will
enfranchise the colored man in all the
States. Os the success of this move
ment there can be but little doubt;
such an amendment would require the
assent of the Legislatures of twenty
nine States to become a part of the
Constitution. Colored men now. vote
in nineteen States, viz.: Maine, Ver
mont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
lowa, Nebraska, Tennessee, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri,
Arkansas, and West Virginia. They
will vote in three other States —Texas,
Mississippi and Virginia—as soon as
readmitted. The recent elections
have given the Republicans the Legis
latures in Connecticut, New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Kansas, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon
and California —thirty-three in all
four more States than required, pro
vided the movement is acquiesced in
as a party measure. Under certain
property qualifications, colored men
now vote in New York and New
Jersey. It is believed by the advo
cates of this measure that the Fortieth
Congress will cover itself all over with
glory by seizing upon the present
opportunity. If there were no restric
tions upon the colored men voting in
New York, the country would be
spared the hmniliatiou cf seeing men
like Fernando Wood and John Morris
sey in Congress.
You will have observed by this time
that, as I predicted, the rising in Cuba
has proved to be a more formidable
affair than the brief telegraphic news
doled out from that Island seemed
to indicate. Agents of the progres
sive party have already arrived in this
country, seeking aid of our citizens,
and to strengthen the hands of those
who favor annexation to the United
States. It is believed all but the old
Spaniards are inclined to favor this
scheme. •
The Freedman’s Bureau will probs- .
bly cease to exist after the Ist of ’
January, 1869, in compliance with ,
the law. General Howard, at this
time, sees no necessity for continuing ’
the organization after that period. ,
The capacity and the disposition of i
the Freedmen has been fully tested, ]
and the most favorable reports come
here from every State. Under Grant
the hands of their oppressors will bo
removed, when they Will have fall
opportunity to work out their own
salvation. The Government will
doubtless provide for a continuance
of the present school system, and
keep a watchful eye upon the Freed
men.
There is no real foundation for the
reported removal of Secretary Mc-
Culloch. That gentleman has, time
and again, told the President he
would resign whenever requested to
do so. Mr. Johnson would doubtless
like very much to signalize his out
going by doing something more to
shake the moral sense of the commu
nity. But ho is restrained by the
fear of Congress. Impeachment is
not dead—the case only sleeps, and
it would take but very little to revive
the old proceedings. The Presidential
election being out of the way, the
case, if recalled, would hasten the
exit of the great apostate into igno
minious retirement.
The attempt to create a panic in
New York immediately after the
election has already proved a failure.
Gold to day is lower than at any
time since January last, and the
Government has only’ disbursed thus
far about ten and a half million of
tho gold interest on the public debt.
Wise men are beginning to put their
homes in order, preparatory to re
sumption of specie payment. This
end will be attained by the 4th of
July next, leaving the Democratic
party without a single plank upon
which to build even a theory.
Previous to the election I put down
New York as certain for G rant and Col
fax, “provided there was no fraud prac
ticed.” Seymour has nominally in the
State a majority of less than 8,000,
while in New York city alone more
than twenty thousand fraudulent votes
were cast, to say nothing of Brooklyn and
the towns along the Hudson. These
■ frauds are to be investigated and Hoff
man, the bogus Governor elect, may
possibly be ousted from his seat.
These allegations of frauds are based
upon substantial facts, capable of being
proven before any Court of Justice.
The Capital is duller to-day than at
i any time since the war. The Hotels
and Boarding House are deserted, and
