National Republican
AUGUSTA. GA.
THURSDAY MORNING....Nov. 19, 1868
Union—Liberty—-Jnotice.
This is a Republic where the Will of
the People is the Law of the Land.
[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 tics, which now link
together the various parts."— Washington's
Farewell Address.
The Anarchists Sustained.
We are not surprised that the Dem
ocratic press cither remain silent or
openly endorse the step toward an
archy of the Wilkes Grand Jury. The
Savannah Republican commends the
insult to Judge Gibson, and the out
rage of all decency and law. This
only goes to show the general dcmoral*
ization of the Democracy, and the ab
solute necessity for some remedy, by
some power, to prevent a recurrence of
such abominable and dangerous con
duct. To the honor of Judge Gibson,
be.it said, he paid no attention to the
insolence of the unmannerly Jury, but
went on with the business of the Court
with his accustomed dignity.
During the first day the lawyers
carried out their threat of not taking
any part in the proceedings of the
Court. The consequence was, that as
each civil case on the docket was call
ed in its regular order, ami no parties
appeared on cither side, the case was
dismissed. This brought the contu
macious lawyers to their senses, and
they were promptly on hand the
next day. The charge that Judge
Gibson defiled the judicial ermine is
one of the greatest absurdity.
The act of the Grand Jury was a
bold and unprincipled attempt to dis
honor and degrade him as a Judge
and as a man, because lie voted for
and agrees in politics with the Presi
dent elect of the United States. Judge
Gibson is neither a carpet-bagger nor
an upstart; he is well known to the
people of Georgia. He was first ap
pointed Judge of the Northern Circuit
by the late Howell Cobb, who was
elected Governor in 1850. He after
wards removed to this city, and was
repeatedly honored by the people by
being elected a member of the General
Assembly of Georgia. When the war
broke out he promptly entered the
service—no bomb-proof position—but
as a soldier in the field. As Colonel
of a Georgia regiment, no one dare
deny his conspicuous gallantry. After
the close of the war he re-
, turned to bis home, when the
people of this comity rV-elected him
to the Legislature in 1865, of which
, body he was chosen Speaker. Soon
• afterwards he was elected Judge of
‘ this District, which position he held
■ when the Constitution went into effect,
and to which position he was re
appointed by the Governor, and almost
unanimously confirmed by the Senate.
His habits are exemplary. As we re
marked on Tuesday, the Grand Jury
of AVilkes county, with a hate of the
United States Government,have shame
lessly dragged politics into the sanc
tuary of Justice, and attempted to
proscribe an able and upright Judge,
because he voted for a particular can
didate for the Presidency. In due time
all this will be remedied—it must be
remedied.
—•— ■
\\ ATOit. —The people should be
watchful. Eternal liberty is the price
of vigilance. Money is combining
against muscle. The owners of resi
dences and tenements, who turn their
tenants out of doors if rents are not
promptly paid, are combining against
those tenants. In a word, under the
guise of a popular party guide, and a
pretence of reforming abuses that do
not exist, capital is artfully working
to get the upper hand of labor, money
to get the control of muscle. Reader,
we ask you not to take our word for
it, but look at the combinations that
are being made in every ward in the
city, and judge lor yourselves.
I nt Difference.—When Governor
Jenkins suspends the collection of
taxes, they say it is all right and ap
plaud himfortheact. When Gov. Bul
lock suspends the collection of taxes
he is denounced for it, and his procla
mation defied and disregarded in
most of the counties in the State
This is the respect for law and au
thority which pervades the Georgia
Democracy.
Has Georgia Complied with the Re
construction Acts ?
It will bo remembered that during
the session of the Legislature the
National Republican took the
ground that Georgia had not complied
with the Reconstruction Acts of Con
gress. The New York Times, Cincin
nati Gazette and other influential
Northern journals endorsed the Re
publican, and ably sustained our
views. We have not changed our
opinion, but time and events have
greatly strengthed us in the conviction
that we are right. The Reconstruc
tion Laws were right in themselves,
had they been administered according
to the honest meaning of their pro
vision, but an unscruplous and treach
erous President stepped in between
the will of the people and the peace
of the country, and perverted the
law, and prevented its righteous
ends from being accomplished. The
Legislature of Georgia was never a
legal body in its true sense, because
nearly one fourth of its members were,
and are, ineligible under the Four
teenth Article. That article was
never legally ratified by the Leg
islature. The turning out of the
colored members was a violation of
their own construction of the Con
stitution, and of everybody elses’ con
struction of it. Their action in refer
ence to jurors was also another flagrant
violation of the Constitution.
These things should be looked into.
A usurping Legislature has boldly
thrown down the gauntlet to Congress.
They say to Congress, you have made
such and such laws, and we have dis
regarded your laws, and now disre
gard your power. If Congress backs
down in this matter it can go home and
tell its constituents that while the
combined Confederacy was utterly de
feated and overthrown, the Georgia
Democracy have rode rough shod over
the Congress of the United States.
The interesting question is now, who
will back down ?
- ♦ ♦
More “ Reconstruction.”-— The Radi
cal paper published at Augusta, threatens
another dose of reconstruction for Georgia,
when Congress meets. We are not at all
surprised at this, but it strikes us that, the
organ aforesaid is rather at sea in its reckon
ing as to whose throats it will be forced
down. Wc rather think ungrateful Cuff,
who deserted the carpet-baggers and seallies
so shamefully on the 3d inst., will have to
swallow it. When the truth gels noised
abroad in the land of the saints of the multi
tudes of freedmen who proved recreant on
that day to the claims of Bureau witties,
army overcoats, and land and mule promises,
we shall have a snapping of pious teeth, a.
howl from evangelical throats, and a fierce
threat for vengeance,— Macon Journal A
Messenger.
The author of the above extract
doubtless thinks he is shrewd, but he
overestimates his ability. His assump
tion that the colored people willingly
deserted the Republicans in the late
canvass is as impudent as it is untrue.
Many colored persons were compelled
to vote for Seymour. Just as many
white persons, in 1861, were compelled
to vote for secession. No one knows
this better than the editors of the
Journal <£: Messenger. Neither does
the Journal Messenger believe
that Congress will take the ballot
from the colored citizens. It dare
entertain no such hope. It is the study
ot Congress to complete reconstruction
in Georgia. It is the duty of the
Nation’s representatives to see the
Nation’s laws respected and obeyed.
Congress will stand up to its pledges,
and one of those pledges are that there
shall be freedom of speech, freedom of
the press, and free government in
every militia district in Georgia. The
people will hold Congress to a strict
fulfilment of its promises.
What Would they Think?—
What would Northern Democrats
think if a Northern jury, composed
entirely of Republicans, were to delib
erately arraign a Northern Judge and
object to his sitting on the Bench, sim
ply because he voted for Seymour and
Blair at the last election? Or, to
reverse the proposition: What would
Northern Republicans think if a Jury
of Democrats should officially de
nounce a Republican Judge for voting
lor Grant and Colfax? The answer
of all parties, North, to these ques
tions will be: “Such conduct would
not be tolerated for an instant.” Then
why should it be tolerated in Georgia?
Georgia Republicans have ns many
rights as Northern Republicans. Our
rights here are invaded, and our ap
peal is to the nation.
>
Register.—ln looking over the list
of voters that have registered, we fail
to find the names of quite a number of
prominent white Republicans. We
know that there are at least , five hun
dred white Republicans in this city,
and if all white and colored Republi
cans will register, and vote, our ma
jority will be handsome. Let there be
no laggards iu the fight.
Courting a Fight.—The Chroni
cle seems to be courting a newspaper
row with the Constitutionalist. The
Constitutionalist don’t think much of
blatherskite politicians, and don’t hesi
tate to say so; while the Chronicle
knows that when blatherskites play
out, its ed.itor is a dead cock in the
P't.
One-Sided.—We often have heard
that the investigation of Grand Juries
were on one side only. The Wilkes
county Grand Jury is the most one
sided affair wo know of, and wrong
sided at that.

“Fruits of Radicalism.” —When-
ever the Ku-Klux kill a Republican,
and the fact is published, the Demo
crats at once proclaim it as “ one of
the fruits of Radicalism.” The Radi
cals are always the victims.
Our Washington Letter.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 14.
A portion of the Northern Demo
cratic press seem determined to assume
the robe of Andrew Johnson, and
keep the South in continual hot water
during the incoming administration.
The New York World and kindred
sheets, in their editorial columns, and
through correspondence from the
South, have already recommenced
fanning again the embers of social and
political discord, which every Repub
lican, at least, hoped to see allayed
forever, by the election of General
Grant to the Presidency. An attempt
is now being made, by false, state
ment, to make the disaffected believe
that the Republican President elect
was elected by a minority- vote, and
that but for special Congressional leg
islation, disfranchising certain classes
in some States, and excluding the peo
ple of these States entirely from
voting, Mr. Seymour would have
received a majority of the electoral
votes. Absurd as this pretence is to
every intelligent man, it will have its
intended effect among a class of peo
ple who read only Democratic news
papers. The World, too, has South
ern correspondents, who seem to be
animated by the spirit which has
characterized the extreme men of that
section during the last ten years, and
who evidently seek to inculcate at the
North the idea that the differences
between the Union men and their
neighbors at the South are irreconcila
ble, so long as Republican rule pre
vails. These misrepresentations, too,
will have great influence with certain
classes at the North, and between the
disaffected of both sections, it is more
than probable that the incoming ad
ministration may lie forced to adopt
harsher measures to secure peace than
otherwise would be necessary. It
should be made known far and wide,
and impressed upon the mind of every
one, that the loyal men of this country
intend to rule it. The enemies of the
Government, during the last eight
years, have appealed unsuccessfully,
both to the ballot and the bullet. They
must soon abide the result; there will
lie no more trifling or honeyed phrases.
If the position is accepted in good
faith, the worst troubles have already
been experienced, and the immediate
future is pregnant with all that can
be reasonably desired. On the con
trary, if the other course is pursued;
under the disguise of sham Democracy
or any other, the strong hand of power
will be used until peace is enforced.
We must have peace. The Govern
ment, a majority of the people, de
mand and will have it, at all hazzards.
Mr. Treasurer Spinner, unwittingly-,
a lew days since, was the innocent
agent of raking up an unpleasant remi
niscence of the late war. While
searching the Treasury vaults to find
a package deposited by the Secretary
of War, one was opened containing
the veritable disguise in which Jeff
Davis attempted to elude the Union
soldiers. It consists of a well known
lady’s cloak with hood, and a shawl.
Pinned to the clothing was a note from
the officer who commanded the party
that captured Mr. Davis, certifying
to the articles. Strenuous efforts have
been made to create the impression
that Mr. Davis was not disguised in
woman's apparel when captured.—
There need be no sensitiveness about
the matter, for history furnishes us
with many similar incidents where
men who occupied quite as prominent
a position as Mr. Davis have escaped,
or attempted to escape, disguised in
the dress of a woman. *
The business men of this District
have, at last, been aroused to the im
portance of having more than one way
to go northward, and particularly when
that way is in the hands of an obnox
ious monoply. Several meetings of
the solid men have been held and the
air line railroad to New York is at
last in the hands of the right kind of
men, and not left to the merciless man
agement of mere politicians. This will
have one immediate good effect, for it
will put the Ku-Klux of Baltimore on
their good behavior.
Notwithstanding the popular opinion
that Washington is very unhealthy, it
is, neverthless, one of the most healthy
cities in the country, as the monthly
mortuary report shows. During Oc
tober there were only 130 deaths—B9
of these white—in a population ex
ceeding 100,000 ; 53 of those who died
were children under five years old.
The President is busily engaged in
preparing his annual message to Con
gress, and hence does not find much
time to waste on other matters, and
particularly upon Democratic politi
cians who have been exerting all their
influence since the election to secure
the removal of all Republican office
holders.
The reports of the respective Secre
taries have all been put in type, and
proof-sheets are in the hands of the
President, so that he can write under
standingly. It is more than surmised
that Mr. Johnson will reiterate the
honesty of purpose in the adoption of
“my policy,” a conviction of the
soundness of his position, and a pre
diction of the failure of the Republi
can policy of reconstruction. He will
also recommend a great reduction of
the army and navy, and present a plan
tor simplifying the collection of inter
nal revenue. 'Phis much he has
shadowed forth in conversations hold
with personal friends.
The city already begins to feel the
influence of the approaching session.
A larger number of Congressmen than
ever before have secured residences
here for their families, and everything
is being put in readiness to receive a
grand rush of visitors. The season
will undoubtedly be a more brilliant
one, at least, than any during the last
eight years.
General Grant left for New York on
Friday just in time to avoid a school
of Cabinet-makers, who arrived the
same day, to volunteer their advice.
He also eluded a batch of office hold
ers—eleventh hour Republicans—who,
marshalled under John Nelson, Third
Auditor, had arranged for a descent
upon army headquarters, cocked and
primed with speeches duly elaborated
for the occasion. Some of these tuft
hunters will certainly explode, if
Grant continues his migratory’ ways.
But it is really a relief to know that
we are to have a man for President,
and not a mere automaton —one who
intends to do right, though the heav
ens fall, and not be bored to death by
mousing politicians.
The next session of Congress will
have a vast amount of important work
to do. Early action will doubtless be
taken in regard to the unreconstructed
and partially reconstructed States.—
Among the latter may be classed your
own Georgia. An amendment of the
Constitution will be proposed which
will cause considerable discussion, be
cause both those in favor and opposed
to Repubhcanizing every State Consti
tution will wish to be placed right on
the record. If matters move smoothly
‘‘Universal Suffrage and Universal
Amnesty” may come up for considera
tion. The questions of Revenue and
Finance are always in order. Con
tested seats and election frauds, with
a vast amount of other business more
or less important, is mapped out for
the session. The Republicans are de
termined, if possible, to put Grant in
the White House with a clean bill of
health. Capital.
Letter from the Capital
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 17, 1808.
Editor liepublican :
Since my last letter to the Repub
lican, the Democrats of this city have
held a Nominating Convention, which
resulted in the selection of Mr. W.
11. Halsey as their candidate for the
Mayoralty. Mr. 11. is a young man,
and said to be a lawyer of merit. If
Judge Dunning will consent to run,
he will get enough votes from the
other side, which, with his party
strength, will elect him.
THAT IMPEACHMENT.
The Republican’s suggestion that
the Democracy would hardly relish the
idea of substituting Mr. Conley for
Governor Bullock has had the effect
of quieting the “ so-called,” and we
predict that not even the Columbus
Nun will be so anxious again.
CONGRESS.
The fact is conceded by many of the
leading Democrats here that this body
will, at its December session, take into
consideration the action of a portion
of the last Georgia Legislature in ex
pelling the negroes from that body,
and immediately restore to them their
rights, which were so treasonably
denied them. We say to those colored
members, who have so patiently and
so honorably borne the perpetration
of these wrongs, to be of good cheer
—the laws of our country’ henceforth
will be enforced, and you will be
freemen in fact. There is no doubt
that you will retake your seats in the
Legislature next January.
THOSE TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOL
LARS.
It is gratifying to notice that some
of the papers of the State have had
the fairness to give due credit to Col.
Hulbert for the excellent manner in
which he has conducted and is still
conducting the State Road. A few
(but only a few) of the Democratic
papers have ever noticed the fact that
the large sum of $25,000 was paid into
the Treasury a few days ago—the net
earnings for October.
CHEEKING.
It is with pleasure that I notice large
droves of mules en route for lower
Georgia. Conversing, a few days ago,
with a drover, I ascertained that they
were in good demand in that section.
The majority of them come from Mid
dle Tennessee.
THE REPUBLICAN.
It is with pride that I observe the
constantly improved appearance of the
National Republican. It is a cer
tain indication of the energy and tact
of its managers. The last copy re
ceived (Sunday’s issue) contains fifteen
columns of excellent reading matter,
of every variety—a larger amount by
several columns than is given to the
readers of but few of the dailies in the
South. To every citizen of Georgia
we say, that if you want to be kept
thoroughly posted in regard to matters
in your own State, as well as the news
from abroad, you can do so by’ sub
scribing for the National Republi
can.

A Good Smoke is a Perpetual Comfort- i
LORILLAKD’S
“YACHT CLUB”
SMOKING TOBACCO.
Competent critics pronounce it best for many
reasons:
It is made of the best stock grown.
The Nicotine is extracted; there arc
No drugs in it, consequently it is
Anti-nervous in its effects.
It has au agreeable, aromatic flavor;
Docsnot burn or stiug the tongue;
Leaves no unpleasant aftertaste in the
Mouth, or disagreeable odor in the room
Instead of exciting the nervous forces,
It allays irritation, and calms them.
We regard it as the perfection of
Smoking Tobacco. Orders for elegant
Meerschaum Pipes are being packed daily
In the various sized bags in which it is sold,
As an extra inducement for those
Who love a good smoke to try it.
LORILLAKD’S
“UUIIEKA” Smoking t obacco
Is likewise an excellent article of choice Virginia
Tobacco, of a heavier body than the former,
And hence much cheaper iu price ; nevertheless
It makes an excellent smoke. Orders for
Meerschaum Pipes daily packed in this brand.
LORILLARD’S
“CI’XTI’RY” Chewing Tobacco
Composed of the best cutting Leaf in the country.
Superior in color, liner in quality, and makes a’
Belter chew than other brands. Acknowledged
The Leading Fine Cut Tobacco wherever used.
Respectable jobbers and dealers ill all sections
Keep it, and small buyers can save money.
Time and trouble, by purchasing of them
LORILLARD S Maccoboy, French Rappee,
and Scotch SNUFFS still retain excellent quali- j
ties which have made them so famous every '
where.
Circulars sent on application.
