86X- It is announced that “Mr. Nickle,
of Butler county, Ohio, has left the
Democratic party.” A few Nicklcs may
leave tho party, but the pure gold will all
remain.
Tho Democrats of Maryland havo
nominated Hon. Wm. Pinokney Whyte,
for Governor. Tho Democrats evidently
have a "Whyte man’s party” in that
Stato.
*@- The Cincinnati Gazette urges upon
tho Republican party “the importance of
selecting good men for office.” This
amounts to an exhortation to the Repub
licans to select their candidates from the
Democratic ranks.
Bpk„ A poem, recited by John Hay, at
the triennial reunion of the Army of the
James, which took place in New York on
tho evening of tho 19th, appears in
the Western papers on the morning of
the 20th. It was sent by telegraph.
fta?- It is said that the President direct
ly ordered Akerman to is3no that circular
relntivo to the enforcement of tho Ku-
Klax act; but the alacrity with which
tho Attorney flew to respond, was tho con
ception of that tender lovo which he
bears toward the Southern people.
Bgk. Horace Greeley tells us that some
of the purest and best women of New

B6L The principal occupation of the
French people is saying masses for tho

whom they murdered. Tho masses them
asses say had better been contemplated
some time beforo tho murder was com
mitted.
Beg - “Cheapened Suffrage" is tho head
ing of an editorial articlo in tho Cincinnati
Gazelle. Tho price of Radical votes
now is $1,871 a poll, and if they were
cheapened any, tho poor voters would
hardly be able to subsist; for, “vote early
and oltcu” ns they can, tho aggregate
would not amount to a clever pot of
“grease.”
Briy-Homce Greely is aUnivorsalist; yet
in himself is furnished a strong argument
against tho creed of that church. It
would not do for him to be saved, as his
strong agricultural proclivities would at
once lead him to apply a few grafts to
the tree which yields “twelve manner of
fruits,” in order to see if tho number
could not ho increased to thirteen.
ISp- The “intolerance” of tho South
ern peoplo toward their Northern
“friends” can no longer he questioned.
Near Brandon, Mississippi, only a few
days pgo, a couple of virtuous New Eng
land young ladies, who had left all the
comforts of home and come down South
to teach tho poor negroes how to road,
were cruelly ostracised, for no other
reason than that they went bathing with
some virtuous and inoffensive negro men.
Certainly tho remarkable temper of these
Southern peoplo needs subjugation.

Out-Btretcliod, unsbrondod, on a bench of pine,
In all that’* left of wh»t was once divine;
ITnman and woman—fair aa fair could bo;—
Brown-haired, bluo-eyed, and pure aa love waa she,
And once tho purely felt Love’s mastery.
She suffered once—and yet tbero waa no end
To what she suffered; for her more than friend
Held to her burning lips a fearful draught—
Held, while her thirsty soul ita content* quaffed,
Nor dreamed each bubble bid a poisoned shaft.
And now none claims the body; there are none
■rn they loved ber in the days sgone;
No kith nor kin to this poor murdered clay
To part the tangled locks, and, loving, lay
Tbeoorpso aside to wait the Judgment-day.
Yet. if I read aright the script of Fate,
Her famished aoul can well afford to wait
For vengeance on her slayer, till the time
firhen Wrong ahall slough ita crust of agod rime,
And Love meet Gudt a!f reeking in its slime.
Who lays hla baud upon her pallid brow,
And nays "Unclean,” lies in bis throat, for now
The waters of her cleansing ooze snd drain
From off her garments. Ah, tho river, then,
Waa your beet lover, piteous Magdalen.

The “Interviewing” business having
obtained large popularity in journalism,
wo concluded some days ago to keep
pace with the ago in all that can lend in
terest to tho colnmns of a progressive
newspaper, and so sent oar favorite re
porter, B. O. Hemion, Esq., to call upon
the distinguished gentleman whose name
appears above.
Arriving at his place of business, our
reporter found Col. Webster seated in
one of his barber chairs strapping a razor,
and issuing orders, general and special,
to tho members of his tonsorial staff—
The morning being warm, the Colonel was
in his shirt sleeves, and his faco gave
evidenco of the recent and most artistic
touches of somo one of his aids-<rbar-
bier-shop. His magnificent Bide whis
kers—a la mililaire in the severest sense—
had been freely pomaded, brushed and
frangipanied in the highest degree of the
profession in which he holds conspicu
ous position.
“Take a chair, sah;yoar tarn next—
fast come, fustsarved, am de rule here,'
was tho greoting roceivod by our reporter
on entering.
“CoL Webster, I beliove," enquired the
reporter.
“Yes, sah; that is, ‘Bob Yanoy,’ as I
am best known here; but de name I
claims as gelitimate are Robert Webster.
Take dis ’ere choir—your turn next—
Here, Gilbert, take this genlum's things.”
“No, Colonel; am obliged for yoarkind
attentions; but I do not present myself
this morning as a patron of yonr establish
ment. I am a member of tho press—that
palladinm of our liberties—and it is upon
affairs of State that I have the honor to
call npon yon, Colonel. Sir, your lino-
ngo is well known to, and is appreciated
by the masses of this liberty—loving
land; and whatevor may bo yonr views
upon matters of public polioy, and how
ever reticent you may havo been in tho
past on all tho great questions now agita
ting the country, such is tho peril of the
'situation” now, Colonel, that your fel-
low-oonntrymen havo the right to know
your views, and it is upon such a mission
that I havo done myself the honor to
wait upon yon."
'Yes, sah; take dis ’ere chair, and I’ll
wait on you myself. Hero, Gilbert, clean
dis genlum’s boots, and hand me my cup
and lathering brush. Whar’s de soap?
and who’s been using my strap? Gilbert,
keep do flies off’n dis genlum.”
Mr. Vallandigham, whose tragic fate,
Colonel, is yet fresh in onr memory”
Gilbert, whar’s your fly-brush, hoy?”
‘Fresh, I say, in our memory, was tho
originator of tho new departure theory
of restoring this’ wretchedly distracted
nation; hut so divided is publio opinion
upon tho correctness of tho doctrines
enunciated by him, and so much discus
sion lias resulted therefrom, that it is im
portant that we should havo ail tbn-light
wo can get"
“Ohl yea, sah; good light is mighty
necessary, and I did have gas in dis shop,
but dey charges too high. I burns Pctro
now. Fling open dat shutter dar, Gil
bert.”
“Tho idea is, Colonel—and it is tho
wish of all good men both South and
North—to construct somo sort of plat
form upon which the lovors of liberty in
t >th sections can stand. The truo patri
ots of all sections of tho Union ore one
in sentiment, as to the preservation of
those liberties bequeathed to us by the
sires of 7C, but the difficulty is to bring
them together. A feeling of homogeneity
is wanted to bo inculcated between the
masses at the North and Sonth, and the
question at lost resolves itself ioto a
platform—such an one os all can Btand
upon. And now, Colonel, let thecountry
have the benefit of your opinion as to
how we con construct such a platform.”
Well, air, I isn’t much of a carpenter,
and ha'nt had no heap of ’sperienco in
lumber and tools. Ise been Bhavin' and
waitin’ on genlnms pretty much oil my
life hero and in Washington City, but
de fust things you'll have to get is some
mighty good lumber. If it's a big meet-
in' yon are goin’ to have, and there'll be
a heap of peoplo up on the stand, it
Bhonld bo mode very strong, and yon
don't want no d—d fool carpenter to pat
it together. Gilbert, quit flinging your
watermelon rind on the floor dar. In
dis town in 1808, I saw some of 'em build
a platform under a brush arbor. But it
wasn’t an easy one, some bow. It
didn't exactly break down, bnt some of
tho genlums didn't stay on it much. Mr.
Ben. Hill was dar for a while, and seemed
to enjoy hisscif mightly, bat he left it
later in de day.”
Ah, well, Colonel, that is past and
gone—that is a ‘dead issue,'as Governor
Bard would say ; besides, it is not the
kind of platform I allude to.”
Governor Bard, did you say ? Whar
is ho now ? ’’
Here in this city.”
I used to shave him whon he was a
private citizen here, but he went off and
got elected Governor of Massachusetts,
and hasn’t been in my shop since. I
wonder if bo mokes os good a Governor
as Mr..Bollock. I rec .lloct when I need
to lather (he was a Dr. then) Governor
Bard, he would hither Governor Bullock
and Mr. KimbalL Does he do that still,
and do yon reckon he would pardon eith
er of them if they should get into a
scrape ? ”
“lam rooily unable to say what Gov
ernor Bard would do, Colonel; hut I be
lieve he does not now “ lather” Governor
Bullock and Mr. Kimball at all; besides
you are iu error about his being Govern
or of Massachusetts. Ho was appoiutod
by President Grant to tho high and re
sponsible position of Governor of the
Territory of Idaho, but did not assume
the greatness thrust upon him."
Yes, it seems to me I've rood some
where in Pilgrim's Progress or Robinson
Crusoe about men being born great-
achievin' groatnon—and having great
ness thrust upon them. Governor Bard,
like myself, kolongs to do latter class.—
Dors a sympathy between ns. Yon
know, sir, that I am mighty proud of the
foot, bat it is not dao to any merit of
my own, that I am Robert Webster—it
was thrust npon me."
Do you think, Colonel, that the nn-
constitutionality of the Constitution, ns
au abstract proposition, can ho main
tained, and that any government, Fede
rative or Confederate, resting upon Buck
a basis, is susceptible of porpotuation ? ”
* Yes, sah, dat it anil, if folks will do
right”
Then you recognize the eternal prin
ciples of magna charts, and rather stand
on the platform of tho Hartford Con
vention, if I understand you ?”
No; I never done dat—I wasnt novor
dar in my life—never seed Hartford. I
used to go in do b’g Atlanta Conven
tion and hear Operia Bradley speak, and
Mr. Bryant and I always corroborates
dar statements. But I never saw no
Hartford Convention, and I never saw
Magna Ckarta ; if I did I did'nt know
him. Was ho on the Stato Road with
Mr. Harris and Senator Blodgott ?”
'No, Colonel, I think not, jading from
the way things were monagod thore.—
But I seo you are somewhat averso to
freely expressing yonr political views.
Why is that Colonel?
‘Well boss, I’so naturally a modest
man, and do not like to havo nfy opin
ions paraded through tho newspaper-'. I
am very happy boro among my razors,
soaps, combs and brushes, and do not
wish to be fotchcd into politics.—
Governor Bard and I, both, bo-
belongs to do 'Publicans, and I likes dis
'ore kind of oceum cum dignilaticum to
being nominated to an offleo by tho Gov
ernor, or eppinted to ouo by General
Grant I doesn’t want to go to no St
Darango, or bo mode minister to Utah.
None of dat for dis chile.”
You spoke of being in Washington
City in early life, Colonel. You havo soon
much of high life iu tho capital of tho na
tion, I presume?”
“Ob, yos, nab; I was horn dar, and used
to live high np in do fourth story of de
boss’ house; but in dem days dar wasn’t
any Bowens in Congress, and wo had fust
class genlums to lather and shave. De
Congressmens den didn't havo four or
five wives and get pardoned out'n jail,
nor did tho President get a heap of pres
ents liko gntno cocks, bull pups and pint-
er dogs; and I novor seed Mr. Wo)»stor
or Calhoun wid dar foots cocked up, eat
ing goobors in tho Sonntc, No, sah,nono
o’ dat in Washington when I was dar. ”
Why, Colonel Webster, mu 1 would sup
pose you to be a democrat to hoar yon
speak. Perhaps you are ouo of the
new departure” wing of that party ?”
“Well, I is a sort of a democrat some
times, and den agin I’se a ’Publican.—
I keeps dis 'ere shop for all kinds
of people, and shaves all dat'll
come. I’se for what pays most—
and yon seo things ain’t as easy
goin' hero in Georgia as they was somo
time ago, 'specially on de State Road,
“departs” fust from one side den from
tho other, if dat's wkut you call your
“new departure,” hut of course all dis is
private between us. ”
Hero a number of customers entered
the tonsorial apartments of CoL Web
ster, and the interview was brought to nn
abrupt termination. “Gilbert” flew
around promiscuously with his fly-brush,
and the Colonel begun to lather a new
face. "Take seats, genlums; your turn
next; fust come,'fust served, is do into in
dis shop. ” Exit reporter.

THE la ATE RIOT IN
YORK CITY.
A Fair Statement of the Case by
an Intelligent Irishman.
Editors Sun : The press, general
ly, in commenting on the unfortunate
riot in New York on the 12th inst.,
arc unanimous iu condemning what
they arc pleased to call the Hiberni
ans, Fenians, Irish Catholics, 4c. No
doubt they honestly entertain their
opinions, and have not fully investi
gated the causes of this uucicut feud.
That all citizens have a right to as
semble peaceably, or march in orderly
procession, no one con deny, for it is
a privilege especially guaranteed by
the Constitution, which was con
ceived and adopted in the interest of
local as well as national peace, and
intended to curb rattier than encour
age personal violence.
But it is plain to me that both its
letter and spirit deny to any class tlie
right to march through the streets of
our cities with t'le professed intention
to insult and irritate another class—
particularly when such action is likely
to cause the shedding of blood.
I am aware that Orangemen and
their English allies claim the 12th of
July os a national day, and hold that
they have as much right to celebrate
it as have the Irish and Catholics to
observe St. Patrick’s Day. On the
12th of July, 1790, the Irish jieople
fought and bled to throw oil' the
English yoke and to see their lovely
Isle free and independent; hut kind
fortune did not favor the Irish [teoplc
on this eventful day, and in the great
battle on the hanks of tho River
Boyne, between two English moii-
arclis—James 11 and William III—
they lost their cause mid country.
Their sluin were thrown in tho river;
their lands confiscated and given to
the followers of William of Orange;
their aged pnrenls, their wives and
children were driven from theirhomes
and turned ont iu the cold world to
live us best they could.
This League of Orangemen urc tho
descendants of the followers of Wil
liam of Orange, and they cclehrato
the 12th of July in commemoration
of that battle—reminding Irishmen
of their subjugation and defeat; a
defeut that lost to them their country,
their homes and their liberty, and lias
caused them to wauder iu exile in
every land. This organization marches
in procession with banners, and em
blems and hands of music, playing
insulting tunes, such as “ The Boyne
Water” and “Croppy Lio Down,”
(which means rebels lio down.)
Now I would ask a liberal public to
put this question to their own con
sciences and see how they could rel
ish such. Religion has nothing to do
with this matter, as somo suppose.
Look at the brave Emmet, wiiobc
memory will never die—a Protestant
who gave his life for his countiy;
also Wm. Smith O’Brien, John
Mitchell, John Martin—all Protest
ants, hut not Orangemen—and hun
dreds of others who sacrificed all for
their lovo to their native land. Tho
Protestants and Catholics of Ireland
walk arm in arm together on St. Pat
rick’s Day, and perfect harmony exist
between them. Orangemen iu Ire
land havo been invited to bury past
differences and have a united country,
which would throw ofT tho English
yoke and secure independence; hut
they prefer being at enmity and to see
their country held in bondage and
trodden under foot by English ty
rants.
This feml or quarrel should not be
broughlinto thisoountry. All Irish
men commemorate the day on which
St. Patrick lauded in Ireland—the
I7th of March, in the fourth century.
He found tho inhabitants in a state
of paganism, and by his labors
brought them to Christianity. The
oelebration of this day gives no
offense to any one—no cluss is
insulted by it. It causes no aggra
vation; therefore it is harmless.—
To bring the question homo to us, let
us suppose the Union League should
celebrate the downfall of the Confed
eracy, and march through the streets
of our city with banners and em
blems, and a hand of music playing
“Hcbclit, Lie Down," or any insulting
airs, would it he agreeable to South
ern people? Would their children
fifty or a hundred years hence like to
see and hear such? . Would it he
pleasant to he reminded of the sub
jugation of their fathers and kindred?
And suppose the General Govern
ment had confiscated all tho lands of
the Southern people, depriving them
of liberty and properly, and thrust
ing women and children out of their
homes into the world to perish, would
(hut make such a celebration any
more pleasant for Southern peopt
to look upon, either now or forever
hereafter?
J,ct us tuke another view. There
are many Southern men in New York
city. Suppose they were to under
take to celebrate the battle of Bull
Run, und march through tho city
with.banners uiul emblems, and a
hand of music playing “Yankee, Lie
Down,” und ask the Governor of the
State to protect and guard them in
their procession; wlmt do you think
his reply would lie? Don’t you think
ho would say, “Your procession will
lie an insult to tile country and to
tlie people of this city, and will cause
riot und bloodshed; and if you do
march it must be at your peril?”
I would like to aslc Gov. HofTmun
if the men whom he protected were
citizensof the United States? if they
do not still owe allegiance to Great
Britain? I am convinced that they
arc not citizens and never can he un
less they violate an oath which they
have taken to forever support Great
Britain and its present dynasty. If
the United States was at war with
England, tlie Governor would soon
learn whether these men would assist
his gallant ninth regiment
An I kisii Democrat.
How I lie Itnilicals have Amen
ded the Constitution of
Georgia.
“W. I'. C.” a representative of the
Journal of Commerce of New York,
writing from this city to his paper,
gives a very truthful account of a
stupendous piece of Radical impu
dence, which illustralod their utter
disregard of principle, and that they
do not, and will not hesitate to take
my step, no matter how injurious,
that will jierpotuate their power. We
make the following extract:
HOW TSIEY AMEND THE CONfUTCTIOS OF
OEOBOIA.
Among the most conspicuous infamies
of the last Legislature was the passage of
several very curious and disgraceful
amendments to tho election laws. Tho
constitution of Georgia, framed and ad
opted in pursoanoo of the Reconstruc
tion acts, makes the usual provision re-
gurdiug voters, specifying “til male”
citizens, “twenty-one years old or up
wards, ” Ac. It goes on to confer the
right of challenge npon any voter
sees tit to ohalloDgo another, and Bays
“no person ahall voto, who, if challenged,
shall refuse to take the following oath.”
Then it goce on to define tho oath ;
the voter swears,
“I have uot givon ; or roceivod, nor do I
expect to give, or recoivo, any money,
trout, or otlior thing of value, by which
my voto, or any voto is effected or ex
pected to be effected at this election ; nor
have I given or promised any reward, or
made any threat by which to prevent any
person from voting.” Then again the
constitution says ; “Legislative sots in
violation of this constitution, or tho Con
stitution of tho Unitod States, are void,
and tho Judiciary shall so doclare them.”
Now mark tho intelligence of this leg
islature by what will follow: In Ootober
last they deemed it best to pass an elec
tion law for tho purpose of
CARRYING TUB FALL ELECTION.
Thoy changed tho method of voting
from numerous precincts in each county
to one polling place, the county seat, ex
cept in cities. The election officers are
called managers, and they, of course, are
Republicans, but I understand the Dem
ocrats were at the lost election allowed
by tho Governor a kind of minority ea-
pervision. The reduction in number of
polling places was in order to permit neo
cssary concentration of military force if
necessary in carrying the elections for
the Radical ticket. Then, nndor pre
tense of fixing a system for soenring fair
elections, preventing intimidation or
tho forcing of voters from their places at
tho polls, a provision was inoerted that
voters shall
FORM IN LINS
and approach tho polls in that manner;
that no more than one person shall ap
proach within fiftoon feet of the polling
placo at a time; that no ono who is not
in tho lino shall go noarer than fifty feet
of tho polling place. Only the managers
and their clerks are allowed by this new
law to seo the ballots when deposited or
afterward. The managers must swear
that they will not permit any one to
“ohallougo, delay or hinder” any voter
from tlie speedy casting of his vote.
Thoy aro compolfod to
ARREST ANT ONE
who attempts to ohallengo a votor or
“disturb tlie peace." Tho low also ex
tends the timo for tho eondnet of the
election to throe days instead of one day
as was customary bofore.
It will be seen by this, that while tho
State Constitution expressly providos the
free and untrammeled right of challenge,
and even goes so far ns to oblige overy
challenged man to mnko nn oath to cor-
toin things abovo enumerated, the law
passed by tho Legislature overrides that
feature of tho Constitution; and repeals
it outirely. It goes on, in deflance of the
Constitution, and givos tho right of suf
frage to every malo poison of tho “appa
rent ago of 21 years or upwards,” and
thus mako tho Badioal managers the
Tim judges of a voter’s age.

GRIFFIN, OA., May 19,1811. my20-3m
As tliero is probably only ono Demo
crat amoug tho election officers of eooh
polling place, the effect may be ima
gined. The field nogroea selaom know
tbeir ages or even their names. They
usually take tho lost name of the man
who last OWBdd them, and go by that.—
Their ages aro guessed at by the mana
gers of ejection. I am convinced that
boys agod 1C, 17, 18 and 19 yean of aro
always allowed to register and vote, pro
vided they bold in their bands a ltodical
ticket. No one can get near enough to
challenge them, and even if such a man
could make himself beard while attempt
ing to challenge a pereon who oflora a
vote bo would bo arrested for disturbing
tho peace.
QThongh the last election law was un
constitutional in all its essential provi
sions; though it contemplated the depos
ing of vote- under the guidance of bayo
nets; thou,.it it was intended that tho
Radical managers should do tho voting—
yet tho originators were badly worsted at
♦heir own game, and a two-thirds Demo
cratic Legislature was tho result Thisin-
famoos proceeding has recoiled upon tho
heads of its originators, and the tax
payers of Georgia anxiously await the day
upon which they can disposoof Governor
Bullock as summarily as they disposed of
his corrupt Legislature, and thus save
tho little money that is left and the cred
it of the Mtato.
