greasing forward in fine style. Probably,
after all, he took bis steps backward only
in order to get a good start—Aete York
Herald, June 89.
Frank Blair, Jr., has taken no “new
departure" by wbicb bo will ever affirm
that the “reconstruction measures" were
not “unconstitutional and revolutionary"
in their character; nor that they were not
carried by "fraud, jrrfiily, and violence.”
This great truth, the Herald may rest »
sored, be bae not denied, and never will
deny. He is, indeed, a progressive Dem
ocrat; bat the line of progress he is on
» that which leads to the .restoration of
the rights of the States, and with them
the rights of the poople. —Atlanta Sun,
July4.
While Senator Blair admits that the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments
were passed by frawl, perfidy amt vio
lence, he still acknowledges their legally
binding force as a part and parcel of the
Constitution, and that they can only be
eradicated by the voice of the peoplo at
the ballot-box, and not by revolution.—
Does Mr. Stephens admit as much? If
so, there is no deep ditch nor high well
between himself, Senator Blair, Hoffman,
Hancock, Hendricks, Adams, and the
entire National Democracy, North and
South.—Dr. Bard, July 5.
Mr. Stephens admits that the bent
mid surer! remed y for all usurpations
in onr system of Government, is to
have them “eradicated by the poople
at the ballot-box,” and in this ho be
lieves ho fully agrees with an “over-
wlielming majority of all true Demo
crats” North and South.
The “deep ditch and high wall" be
tween Mr. Stephens and Dr. Hurd is,
that the Doctor thinks that these
iniquitous measures, carried by fraud,
perfidy amt violence,” (which he aided
in so carrying) should never bo
“eradicated” ut all; but should lie de
clared to have been carried "in the
tnanwr and by the authority Consti
tutionally appointed.”

To cowardly cringe to Radical tisurpa-
/ tion or bawdy submit to a course of repu
diation of the glorious reoords of tlie past
ten years of tho Democratic party for the
sake of pandering to a depraved publio,
or for the aake of sneaking into power
through a back door, is furthest from tho
thoughts and purposes of the Democratic
party, and we can assure onr Radical
friends that they mistake us wholly if
they understand onr recognition of the
existence of the amendments ss a recog
nition of the soundness of their danger
ous and destructive policy.
So says the Goshen (N. Y.) liepuh-
lican (Democratic paper) of the 29th
of June. It shows the true sentiment
of the Democratic party everywhere.
While they recognize tho Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments of the
Constitution us dc facto parts of it—
to lie obeyed as such so long ns they
have" the form of law, under the in
terpretation nml construction of those
clothed with |>ower to expound and
enforce them.'yet they never will cense
at all projier times and on all proper
occasions, to denounce the flagrant
usurpations of power by which they'
were inaugurated and by which alone
they are cluimcd to have liecoine in
corporated into tho organic law of the
Union. The true Deinocrrcy every
where is for law and order. They
look to the intelligence, the virtue and
patriotism of the people at the ballot-
box as the surest mode of redress
against all wrongs in Government,
either State or Federal. But they
never will, by their votes at the ballot-
box, give their sanction to the iniqui
tous policy by which these Amend
ments are claimed to have been car
ried; nor will they ever consent to any
trammels by which they will lie cs-
tup/xd from arraigning “before the
bar of public reason” usurpations, of
w hatever grade or character, us well
os their authors.
The mission of the Democracy is to
rescue the lilierlies of this country
from the hands of tlio-e now bent
upon their destruction. To do this
successfully, it seems to us, every con
sideration of good sense, os well as
impulse of duty, dictates that course,
iu the struggle on the part of the de
fenders of the Constitution, which
will not allow of any winking at, con
niving at, much less any sanctioning
of any on# of those Uiurpations which
liave so signally marked Radical Fro-

The Fliiladclphia Aye, of the 29th
of June, brings us the address of the
Executive Committee of the Demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania, to the
people of that State, on the issues of
the pending State elections. The
address is signed by William A.
Wallace, Chairman of the Committee.
Whether he hod anything to do with
the Harrisburg Putform, oil which
the New Departure standard was
hoisted recently,we do not know. But,
if he hud anything to do with that,
he has certainly been convinced of
the error of his ways, and is “retracing
his steps” at the earliest jiossible
moment.
In the Address we see nothing of
tho “New Departure” Platform, nor
of tho heresies it proclaimed. The
very"first announcement is, “ We here
by solemnly renew our often repeated
declaration of fidelity to the great
principles upon which our party has
acted from the time of its first or
ganization.” That has the ring of
the old metal.
We have not space for all of the Ad
dress, but cannot omit a portion which
clearly bIiows how widely he is off the
track, marked out by the Harrisburg
Resolutions which deprecated all dis
cussions, thereafter, of the monstrous
usurpations of Congress by which the
XIVth and XVth Amendments were
carried. All this lias in it the ring
of the right metal. We refer specially
to what follows:
No candid person will deny that the
leading men in power at Washington
have been unfaithful to thoir duties.—
They have broken the pledges they inode
to the people, and, in reckless disregard
to their oaths, they have violated the
plainest provisions of the Constitution.
They have deprived the States of their
sacred (right of self-government in mat
ters purely local, and disarmed them of
the (rawer to enforce their on laws for tho
preservation of order within their own
boundaries; they have passed bills of
paiiiH and penalties operating on millions
at once without regard to tho guilt or in-
nooence of the parties; they have tram
pled on ell the securities if life, liberty
and property; treated tho luibene corpus
law with contempt, and denied tho right
of trial by jury; thoy bavo sent out
swarms of their hireling agents with in
structions to kidnap, imprison aud kill
free citizens for politioul offences, with
out judicial accusation, without warrant,
and without legal trial. They have not
only trodden upon tho groat principles
embodied in tho original Constitution os
it came from tho hands of its framors,
but oven the amendments, which they
themselves interpolated, have been bro
ken without remorse whenever it suited
their interests. In defianoe of the XHIth,
they have doomed many poisons to the
worst kind of "slavery or involuntary
servitude” in tho publio prisons, without
the pretence of any “crime whereof tho
party was legally convicted;" iu the faco
of the xrvth, they havo abridged the
“equal rights" of wbolo masses of white
oitizena; without the least respect for the
right of universal suffrage guaranteed by
tho XVth, they have interfered both for
cibly and fraudulently to prevont fair
elections, and to sot them aside after
they were hold.
Theso outrages upon justice, liberty
and law, havo boen perpetrated, not dur
ing the conflict of a civil war, not ill mo
menta of wild passion or heated excite
ment, but in cold blood, npon deliberate
reflection, in n time of profound peaoe,
in full view of tho consequenoo—and
their authors have followed out this line
of policy, s:.., ■<> with a persisten
cy which allows their u. <1 .ietermination
for the as in the past, to bo bound
by no oath and bultl by no promise.
Tho two last an-! most important of
their nnti-Conatitntional measures show
more distinctly than others their settled
design to strangle the lilierties of the na
tion and take perpetual power into their
own hands. The force bill authorizes
tho President not only to invade tho
States at his pleasure, bat by declaring
martial law to subvert all government,
except what consists of his mere will.—
Under tho election law his cannon is
planted directly ogninst the freedom of
Stale elections. Already the bayonets of
the F,xoculivc have gleamed around the
polling places of tho people in the cities
of New York and Philadelphia. Who
can mistake tho meaning of those prepa
rations for the next Presidential eleeliou?
Who doubts that warning and rebuke are
needed now to prevent the administration
from carrying out its purpose by force?
If the warning bo not given by tho peo
ple, or fail of its propor effect, can wo
liope for peace 1 It seems to us an error
to suppose the American people tame
enough to be kiokod under tho yoke of a
despotism, or iguomut enough to be jug
gled out of the great inheritance of free
government which their fathers left
them.
Wo complain of onr present rulers for
usurpation of power. Power not delega
ted is always abused. Iu this, ns in oth
er eases, usurpation has l>eeu accompa
nied sad followed by nsnrpstion. Frauda
without number, and almost without lim
it, havo been committed on the public.
As if convinced that the Democ
racy of Pennsylvania eonld never be
brought to sustain the Harrisburg
Platform, Mr. Wallace and his (loin-
mittee seem very wisely to have oome
to the conclusion to throw away that
one and put up another and belter
ouc in its stead. The new one is in
these words:
can ••lily be trusted with the manage
ment of their awn local oonoerns.
5. To reduce the expenditure of the
Government by confining it* appropria
tion* to legitimate object*, by a rigid sys
tem of accountability and eoonomy, and
by abolishing much of the unnecessary
and pernicious machinery with which ft
is encumbered.
6. To moderate tho burdens of the peo
ple, not only by economical adminiatre-
tion, but by a system of taxation npon
foreign imports as well as domestic pro
ductions, which shell be just and eqaal
in it* operations npon the property and
business of the ooantry, not ennehinj
some while it impoverishes others, sin
not open to the frauds now habitoally
practiced.
7. To preserve the pnblic credit by
the prompt payment of the publio obli
gations.
8. To consecrate the public lands to
the use of the landless people who need
it, by a system which will secure a suffi
ciency to all, and stop at onoe the long
series of swindle* by which so many
millions of acres have been given away
to those who already have more than
enongh.
These are some of the dnties which lie
before the people if they dessire to see
their government administered with a
deoent respect for the Constitution of
their fathers, or with tolerable honesty in
financial matters.
We have no test of orthodoxy—no dia-
abilities for, nor discriminations against
former political antagonists. We cannot
and do not object to bygone differences,
irovided the citizen be truly and faith-
! ully devoted now to the interests and
institutions of the whole conntiy, and all
tile inhabitants thereof.
Onr object is not revolution, bnt resto
ration; not injury to our opponents, but
an assertion of our own rights and those
of onr fellow-citizens.

In this connection, we desire to say
that we will not be drawn into the din
cuasion of personal matters, or past dead
political i-snes. Wo are laboring to re
lieve our people of their political bur

bus little or nothing to do with the terri

Hi stand squarely on the recent Con
gremuoiml Democratic Address, ns well ns
on the address of thePennaylvuuii Dem
ocratic Executive Committee, which we
here give:—Dl\ Bard, July 5.
The past has everything to do with
“the terrible surroundings of the pres
ent.” What has brought tho country
to its present sad condition so much
ns the openly avowed usurpations of
Congress within the last f ve years?—
Are those “dead issuest”
It is true Dr. Bard aided in im
posing these great evils upon the
States and the peoplo, and may
desire that they be considered os dead.
Bnt the recent Congressional Address
does not so treat them, nor docs the
more recent address of the Executive
Committee of tho Pennsylvania De
mocracy so treat them. If Dr. Bard
stands squarely upon these, he stands
squarely upon our grounds, of de
nouncing these usurpations, ns the
real cause and source of “the terrible
surroundings of the present,” and if
the country is to be “relieved,” it is
to lie “relieved” only by putting the
authors of “these terrible surround
ings" out of power for their most mis
chievous misdeeds. A. II. 8.

There has long been a dispute be
tween certain medical gentlemen of
this city concerning tho Atlanta
Medical College—the exact nature
and merits of which we are not ac-
piaiutcd with. Tlie unplrtftant feel
ing engendered has spread fur beyond
the limits of onr city, till the medical
profession of the State is arrayed into
two antagonistic parties, who are
almost hostile lo ouch other—a very
bitter feeling being manifested by

Wo have never investigated this
■use—do not understand its merits,
and therefore do not take sides on it
Our correspondent “J.,” iu his report
of the convention, which appeared

as Tin; Si x is concerned. We are
not prepared to tuko sides on this

not demanded by the public good; we
therefore stand neutral—recognising

Am Capt Kenan and his father. DeL
Augustus H. Kenan, were generally
known throughout Georgia, and at
many, no donbt, desire to Unow the
particulars of the late tragedy, result
ing in the death of Capt Kenan, we
give the following fact* which we be
lieve are entirely reliable:
Captain Kenan and Mr. Strother,
who ha4ttlvionsly been friends, had
a diffleu j^of a purely private char
acter sevectl months ago. About six
weeks Ao, Capt K, having heard
that Mn Strother had threatened to
kill him, procured a doable barrel
gun and shot at 8. twice, neither
charge taking effect Friends inter
fered and Mr. Strother denying that
he had ever made such a threat, both
parties were induced to sign an in
strument in writing, pledging them
selves not to renew the difficulty, or
interfere with each other except to
have their differences adjusted in
Court
Under these circumstance, and as
both parties were generally seen upon
the streota apparently unarmed, all
apprehensions of a renewal of the
difficulty bad passed away, and hopes
were entertained by the friends of
both that the settlement would finally
be amicable and permanent
Messrs. Strother and Kenan lived
wterii two hundred yards of each
other pnd on the ontskircs of the city.
They were both seen about sunset,
Monday evening, the 3d instant, go
ing toward their homes. Strother
was on the side of the street on which
both lived. Kenan had two or three
bundles of goods in his arms which
he was carrying home. On the way
Strother stopped at the house of a
relative and got a rifle whieh he had
left there. When near the Executive
Mansion, Kenan took his usual path
across tho street tu his house, and, iu
doing so was approaching Strother,
and when within some fifteen or
twenty feet, Strother leveled the gun
and fired, the lull I passing through
Kenau’s chest, killing him almost in
stantly. He did not live more than
fifteeu or twenty minutes. As he fell
ho looking at Strother,-said, “John,
what did you do this for ? ”
If Kenan gave any other cause for
the shooting thun is given above we
learn thut it did not come out at the
Coroner’s investigation. Strother has
not beon arrested, as he oannot be
found; bnt his friends say he will
appear for trial at the proper time.
Capt. Lewis H. Kenan was known
os a highly honorable and chivalrous
gentlemau, and one who would tuke
no mean advantage of a foe. As an
illustration of this, we will relate an
incident which oocurod many years
ago.
His father had offended a young
gentleman of Milledgeville, aud the
latter was publicly abusing him when
Lewis came up and at once etqionBed
the cans*' of his father. The yonng
man had a single barrel pistol which
he discharged at Lewis, who immedi
ately returned the fire using a re
peater, and wounded his antagonist
in the leg. He fired a second shot
and was about to fire a third, when
his antagonist called out, “Lewis you
are a d d coward 1 I have no more
•hots und you are still firing at me! ”
Kenan immediately oeased firing and
replied, “Bill, why didn’t yon tell me
so before? I didn’t know it.” He
afterward visited and nursed his an
tagonist while his wound was healing.
In referring to Capt. Kenan, the
Mooou Telegraph and Messenger says:
We pause for a moment in the rash of
Life's selfish straggle, to say s few words
in honor of the memory of one of the
traeet gentlemen and most chivalrous
men we have ever ooonted it onr good
fortune to osll friend. We rneen Ceptain
Lewis H. Kkian, of Milledgeville, who
wsa shot and killed sbont sunset, last
Monday, by John & Strother. Of the
particulars of his death—of the drenm-
stanoee immediately pieoeding and at
tending it, we have no knowledge, but
we oan safely affirm, notwihatanding, that
he met his untoward fate with the aerone
courage and nublenohing nerve for whieh
he wss ever distinguished, and whieh
were not only inherent in hie own charac
ter, but also the logical sequences of liis
bfcth and breading.
Among all tha knightly legions who
fought for the “ Lost Cause," there was
net one hie superior in penonal gallantry
or earnest devotion. We reteem it a
privilege to write that we knew him well,
and liked him better. Aseoefctiou in Uie
I regiment during the latter (xiriiou
of the late civil war, was tha basis of a
friandahip as cordial and pleasant aa any

of a high apirit, a noble heart, and a soul
npon whose whiteness there rested not

thought. His virtues wars those wbic!
