KoltabU lor Ihrooh The poiitio* or IfoMa Jeawish ga Illnrlt of Pennsy lvania. Amoug the many misrepreseiitations oow so Btudiounly put afloat aud indue triously circulated by the telegr.-iph and the press to forestall the Democratic Party, and commit them to the support of Mr. Oreeley, is one in reference to the position of Judge Black, of Pennsyl vania, to the (fleet that he had declared for Greeley. In anothor column wo give a recent letter from this distinguished gentleman, from which oar readers will see how much truth thero is in that report. A. H. I 'naked, bald and utterly unsusUlued, but it so happeus that he is uot the arbiter who is I decide that question. His dictatorial nature is very properly Ignored and condemned by the arbiter— ths people.—Middle Ueoryian, Maylith, 1811. Mr. Stephens would remind bis co temporary of Griffin, that he has never •aid that “the assertion that he is intol erant, is naked, bald, and utterly unsus* tained.” He would remind him also of the scriptural injunction: “Thou shalt not “bear false witness against thy neigh- “bor.” What Mr. Stephens did say, was “a naked, bald assertion,” aud wrb the charg es against him of his cotemporary, of Griffin, that he “*« so intolerant as to de ny the honest masses the right to investi gate and reflect upon the political state of affairs.” This is what Mr. Stephens said was “a naked, bald assertion and utterly unsus- tained by the facts.” The same he still maintains; and he thinks, moreover, that it will be a difficult matter for his cotem porary to maintain the correctness of his own assertion, before the ^rightful arbi ter”—the people. Mr. Stephens’ whole course has been not to dictate to any one, nor to deny any right of any one, but to defend all die rights of the honest masses, as wgll as all others, of every class and caste, even the perfect right of his cotemporary to abandon the Democratic creed when he pleases, and to hoist the Badieal, Greeley or Grant banner and Platform, whenever he chooses. Mr. Stephens only reserves to himself the like right to stand by hid principles and colors. If this is intolerance, make the most of it before the “rightful arbiter”—the peo ple. A. H. 8. Wot for Grant. Reports have boon in circulation recently, through the proas and otherwise, to the effect thst Hou. A. H. Stephens hsd declared tbstss between Grant and Greeley, ho would support the former. We have declined to give any cm reucy to thie report, because we did not believe it to be true. We am gratified at being able to state now authori tatively that Mr. Stephens will not support Grant under tbo emergency uioutioncd. In s late number of The Sun he says be will support neither of these gentlemen. We regret that Mr. H. has. lu advance of the action of the p*rty at Baltimore, declared that ho will not support Mr. Greoley, because the Judi cations, to our mind, now are. that Greeley will be indorsed there by tbo National Democracy, and his refusal t" abide by that action will produce a split in the Democracy of the South, which may lead to die- aatious result*.—Auyutta, Ga., Chronicle anu Senti nel, May the 20th, 1372. Will tlio split bo confined to tlie De mocracy of tho South? Think you that tho "honest masses" of two millions of Northern Democrats, with anything like unanimity, will support Mr. Greoley, even though ho bo ** indorsed" by tho Baltimore Con Ten Lion? Those who sup pose that tho Democratic masses, there or elsewhere, can be transferred by their "trusted leaders” as so many cattle, we think will find tkemsolvea very much mistaken. If a split, therefore comes, North, as well as South, "which may lead to disastrous results," who are re sponsible for them; wo who adhere to the principles of the party, or those who abandon those principles, and go off in teareh of a Radical loader, moviug under Itadical Banner? Our cotemporary of Augusta, a few days before, complaiued of our intoler ance, and said we had no right to read him out of the Democratic party. Wo give the purport of his lauguago. Now, iu the prosout connection, wo will taka occasion to say to him that wo have, at no time, intimated auy deaire or intention to read him out of the party. Our poaitiou has been and was distinctly stated in the srtiolo ho was commenting on, that every oue should choose for him- •elf what banner he would enter the ap proaching contest under. Whet we wanted to know was where oar cotempo- rariue stood. If any one of them, or any number of them, were disposed to enlist under the Badieal 1 minor of either Grant or Greeley, we did not question their right to do it, lit that article wo held, end now hold, that any oue who, for auy cause whatever, wishes to abandon Democratic principles and adopt Badieal ones instead, has s perfect right to do so; but wo must con- fees our aurpriso that our ooteu-porary of Augusta should ever have boon in auy doubt even, for e moment, oa ho seen: a to have beeD, as to our position upon the consummation of this “New Departure” movement. We felt fully assured, when it was first stated, that tlie object was to lladicatire the Democratic Party. It was to put tho Federal administration in tho bauds of those who would con duct public affairs on Badieal principles for tho purpose of establishing lUdieel measures and polices under a Democra tic name, a he prime object of thia movement was tho disorganixation and disentegration of the Demooratio Party u thou ooustitatod. The sequel sheas dearly that we weie right, aud that u split is inevitable. But, as we said iu tho begiuaijg, ire never w< nlJ go with the “Departuriats," so we say u the eud; aud how any one who kuows us could have supposed it to be otherwise, we can not imagine. A. H. S. Our readers will uot fail to give special attention to the letter of Vidi, our New Yolk correspondent, which is horeto an nexed. A. H. 8. THE CANDIDATE OF THE CINCINNATI CON VENTION. New Yobk, May 24, 1872. Eililors of the Atlanta Sun: The reply of Horace Greeley to the officer! of the Convention whioh nominated him for the Presidency of the United States, is more remarkable for its expression of sentimental generalities than it is for definite political principles. For in stance: • - That all political rights and franchise " es whioh have been aoqnired through "our late bloody oonvalaion, must and “shall bo guaranteed, maintainoo, enjoy- "ed and respected evermore.” Now, the question is, what sro those definite rights and frenobises which have been acquired through onr late bloody convulsion ? Do they include those sot forth in Mr. Sumner's Civil Bights Bill- so-called—or not ? The second postulate is, that "All po- “ litical rights and franchisee which have "beeu lost through that convulsion, "should and must be promptly re-estab- "lished; so that there shell lie, henco- " forth, no proscribed dose—no diafrau " chised caste within the limits of our “Union, whose long-estranged pe< " shall re-unite aud fraternize under the " broad basis of universal amnesty with “impsrtial suffrage." But Horace Greeley does not say what political rights and franchises wore lost through that convulsion; nor does he state who were the proscribed class; nei ther does he designate tho proecribers. That, perhaps, was well, for he was ono of the ohiefs. But, furthermore, ho doos not state what caste was disfranchised. It was on ly those who possessed the franchise pre viously tnat could bo disfranchised. The word “disfranchised” means "deprived of the rights and privileges of a free citi zen." It was only tho enfranchised that could he disfranchised. And who did more to effect this disfrauohisement than himself. A venerable Kentucky Democrat ex presses himsolf thus: "I am getting old. I cannot loot long. " I will soon step into the grave. I don’t want to go to the other world and meet our old Democratic neighbors, and toll them 1 wound up my life by voting for a man who has abused onr party all bis days, and to whom infamous toaoh- iugB, more than to those of any other mau living, we owe the sod, sod, weep ing days of fire, and sword, and des olation, ami ruin of tho post twelve years.” Oreeley lias been for many years a po litical ami social heterogeneity, to whom all iHtua aud achima are hobbies for him to ride on, eud dismount from for what ever next comes up. Vim. From me Harrlaburg, Pa., Patriot, May 23. 1812* Letter from Judge Ul»ek. In th© lust number of tbo Washington Capital appeared an elaborate interview with tho Hon. J. 8. Black, whioh bus been pretty extensively copied through out tho country. The New York Gazelle of Tuesday contains the following note from tho Judge ia relation to that inter view and in explanation of his position: To the Editors of the York GazeUe: You may have seen iu tho Capital, published last Saturday atJWoshington, what pur ports to be a conversation between the ed itor of that paper and me. I have no right to suppose that my utterances would in fluence the opinions or even excite the cu riosity of the general publio. But I wish it to be understood here at homo that I lay t o claim to the eloquenco of tho re marks which Col. Piatt has attributed to me. That gentlemen did certainly not in tend to misstate me; but his poetio imagi nation and elegant taste has given a color to my commonplace remarks which a less gifted person would not put on them. Be sides, he is an ardent friend of the Cincin nati nominee and a most “liberal republi can”—so extremely liberal indeed,that he thinks it mean in tlie Democratic party not to surrender their organization into the hands of its enemies, and this gen erous sentiment of his own bos made him misconceive my notion about the duty of the Democracy to stand firmly together for the whole country. While I am about it I may as well say another word. The aggressive and vio lent temper of tho Cincinnati movement is breaking the Democracy to piocea. There are many thousands of men in the party who will be dragooned or bullied into the support of that ticket. The Greeley men had better suspend their plan of operation immediately. The longer they coutinuo it the less likely they are to suoceed either in July or No vember. “We the people,” the rank and file, ths yeomanry ot the country, can not be driven to the polls as negroes are driveu iu the 8outh by the carpet-bag gers aud scalawags.

Athena was thrown into considerable excitement last night by a bold and villainous attempt to set fire to one of the leading business blocks in the city. Abont eleven o’clock a strange white mau was seen loitering about the ■tore of Center A Beeves; and when questioned aa to who be was, and' what he wanted, slipped suspiciously away. In a few moments a Are was discovered in a small wooden structure, adjoining tlie store above-named, known aa tho Grady Building.” Deupree’a Hail, just opposite, was crowded with a throng of voung people iu attendance on one of rrof..Milum’s popular dauciug soirees, and persona in the wiudows saw the blaze as it flushod up; and aa the alarm was given saw tho incendiary run up the street. Tho fire was immediately suppressed without damage. It was evidently the work of an expert, for be had scattered oil on the floor anil kindled a pile of lightwood faggots. He had also applied oil to a wooden building and one or two other places farther up tho street, on tho tame square, but did uot have time to set them on fire. A crowd turned oat to hunt the mis creant, but with psor success. A man l>elievod to be the (offender was over hauled soon after ia the stablo lot of Gann k Beeves, an4 on his refusing to surrender, a pistol was snapped at him, whon he promptly flred at his pursuers, and made off in the dark towards the river. As several inoendlory fires have occur red in the same neighborhood during the Inst two or three wseks (fortunately do ing but little damage) it is believed that some party or parti* are determined to destroy that part of the city. We learn there i8<complalnt by many of the citizens becaaso the town authori ties have not provided first class facilities for suppressing tire*. There is no cistern in the threatened district, aud the two hand engines in 14e city, though ad mirably manned, are old and behind the times. It is believed that these warnings, and a due consideration of the grent need of the city on Itiis subject, will lead to the purchase of fine or two steamers, and to the construction of needed cisterns. .. We called upon Mr. Atkinson, of the Sonthern Banner, and Col. Christy, ot the Sonthern Wvdchmctu. Both these gentlemen are holding on to their in tegrity as Democrats. In haste, On thb Go. P. S. A reward of $500 is offered for the arrest of tho incendiary. * Tli« Atlanta Hun. This sterling Democratic journal, whoso political editor is that profound at itesman, AWlintw H.

OUK ATI1KNN CORRESPONDKNCB. THE NORTHEAST BAlLBOAD—THE COLLEGE —THE CROPS. Athens, Ga., May 24th, 1872. Editors Daily Sun:—Thb Engineering Corps of tbo Northeast Bailroad, who have been out locating the line of the Bond about two months, have not yet returned. It is believod that work on tho road will be commenced os soon as possible, when they comploto tho sur vey. It may seem strange, but it is never theless true, that Athens has to contend against the opposition of some of her wealthy and influential citizens in this enterprise, who oppose anything which they think likely to curtail tlie business of the Georgia Bailroad. By not co-op erating with the merchants and business men of this place, they have, in the opinion of many, really injured the trade and retarded the prosperity of the placo. Borne of tho mon who have zealously advocated and aided in the North-east Bailroad enterprise are John H. Newton, B. L* Bloomfield, Howell Cobb, W. L. Mitchell, F. Phinizy, B. L. Moss and others. These have labored to secure the building of the now road with an un conquerable determination. They 6et it on foot for tho advancement of our com mon interests, believing it would be to the advantage of all—the Georgia Bail road not excepted. Of course wo all feel kindly towurds the Georgia Bailroad, and have no wish to injure it. Wo believo it would benefit that company to extend its arms. If wo succeed in building the North east Bailroad, out of complement to those who originated tho enterprise and labor ed so earnestly to got it completed, it ought to be called tho Phinizy, Newton and Bloomfield line. Tho University is prospering. Tho Agricultural College is oven now on as sured success. Tho pooplo hero havo provided for cheap ljourd for its pupils, and have made a very liberal donation to tho University. Crops of corn and kmaU grain promising. Cotton not prom ising. A. Letter from Hon. J. C. Conner. Washington, May 9, 1872. Col. John D. Elliott, Austin, Texas: Doar Sir—The Passive or Liberal movement culminated at Cincinnati in the nomination of Greeley, os a high tariff Badieal of tho extreme school. The National Democratic Committee have culled a Convention to meet at Bal timore on the 9th of July next. The important question for that Con vention to consider and determine is: “Shall we nominate a pure Democratic ticket and elect it, or shall we indorse the Cincinnati nominees, disband the Democratic organization, (for it would result in that), and invite Grant to con tinue his military despotism for four years more ? That is the question which tho Balti more Convention will be called upon to answer, and in making that answer the State of Texus will be entitled to sixteen votes. It is the duty of the Corsicana Convention to express by a resolution of instruction for tho government of itadel- egates, upon which side of that question those votes shall he cast. I know that many men who will seek to be delegates will object to instructions on that subject; but their opposition should be of itself sufficient to coudemn them as unsafe del egates. I am not of those who think the Dem ocratic party has outlived its usefulness, or that tho government of the fathers is a failure, but |um in favor of making at least oue more fight as an humble pri vate in that great Democratic army, which was stronger by GO,000 votes in 1870 than all opposition combined, os shown by the popular vote of the coun try for that year. Should the Baltimore Convention fail to nominate a Demo cratic ticket, tho clock of civilization will move backward a full century, and the cause of the millions ot men both in America and foreign lands, who are struggling tor constitutional freedom, regmated by law, v ill inJeed be lost By the action of the Baltimore Con vention I shall bo bound, anti while I as pire to no office, shall contribute my money and humble abilities to promote the succoss of its ticke\ hut I trust I •hall have a candidate iu the principles of whoso life I can fiud something to oommend. I trust tho Democracy of Texas, through ila convention at Corsicana, will instruct its delegates to Baltimore to go for a straight Democratic ticket. Very truly yours, John 0. Conner. The V*ie of J. C. lVorrl*. Editors Sun: The last sentence in my communication which you published iu your paper ot Saturday, 25th instant, under the above heading, should have read : “It teas agreed by counsel that Norris should bo tried before tho fall term of this court, if any day suitable to all the Attorneys on both aides could be fixed upon.” By a typographical error, it reads; “It mvm argued,” Ac. This arrangement, contemplating special session of Warren Superior Court to try Norris at some early day, did re- oeivo tho asseut ot tho States counsel, after the Judge granted the motion of de fendant's attorney for a continuance,which, without such an arrangement, carries the case to tho fall term.
