Dr. T. A. Para.»na, ot Johnson county,
publishes a card in the Macou Telegraph de
clining the nomination to Congress for the
First- Congressional District, tendered him
by friends in the upper portion of the -Dis
trict,-first, on the ground of his ineligibil
ity; second, because he thioks be can serve
his country better by raising corn aud cotton;
and third, to use his own words, because :
“The friends with whom I agree in opinion
and cheerfully act, have already met in Con
vention aud brought out a candidate (Hou
H S. Fitch) who is well qualified for the
office, aud whom I will cheerfully support.”

The Augusta Chronicle is advised by a
colored Republican that, in obedience to in
structions, all who hive heretofore filled the
office of Aldermen of tbat city are to be
stricken from the registry. The editor saye
this ruling will strike one hundred sad fifty
men in that city alone—it would probably
disfranchise equally as mauy in this city.
Such a course would be utterly inconsistent
with General Meade's pledge that he would
do equal aud impartial justice, and that a
fair expression of public opiuiou should be
had al the polls in the approachiug election.
If the frauchise is not to be regulated in
accordance with some existing law, but is
to be dictated by the Military Commander
of the District, it is but just and right that
he should,in authoritative form, declare who
is and who is not disfranchised. If ex-Al
dermen and officers of the Miiitia are to be
deprived of their civil rights, for which
there is no authority in tha Reconstruc
tion Actn, or any other pretended
law, ti.ueral Meade should so de-
declare over his official signature, and thus
settle the question, and not leave it in dis
pute between the people and the Registrars,
who, in this ci:y, we understand, have de
nied the register to persons who had held
militia commissions previous to the war.
A Bait to Catch GuogkoNs.—Planter?
must not be deluded by the rise in cottou.
P.ant corn, peas aud potatoes, and put your
cotton seed uotfer for manure. Every time
cottou rises, plant more corn, and keep it
rising. The scarcity of cotton makes pricas
advance. That’s the lick. 8ucb is the sen-
siule advice given by the Colnmbus Sun.

—Old Tna ideus cJteveus has written a letter
in which he declares in favor of General
Grant for President aud Ben Wade for Vice
Presideut. 01 General Grant he says :
As to the candidate for the Presidency, I
presume you ail agree that none other than
General Graut is to be thought of. Honest,
firm and well indoctrinated in principle,
without ostentation and witnout pride. I do

A Much Needed Vindication.
The Baltimore Gazette,^noticing the April
number of the Southern Review, published
in that city by Professor Bledsoe, Bays:
The second article, on '■Federal Policy
and Noitheru Prisons,’'opens with a vindica
tion of the Confederate authorities troni the
atrocities that Lave been Charged against
them in regard to their treatmen of Federal
prisoners at Andersonville and elsewhere. I'
then goes on to cite a number of ca-tes in
proof ot the fact that io every large prison at
the North “cruelty was systematically
practised for the purpose of forcing prisoners
to take the outn of allegiauCd to the Federal
Government; or, in case of their refusal, ot
enfeebling tbeir health to such an extent as
to render them unfit for military service on
their return to the South.” The diaries of
eome of these prisoners, and the personal
narratives ot many others are given in evi
dence of the truth of the allegation. Allot
these details are wholly new to the public,
and the record thus made up stamps with in
lamy the officials under whos -order so much
wanton suffering was inflicted.
The writer next proceeds to contrast the
abundant supplies at the North with the ter
rible straits in food, iu clothiug, and in
medicines to which the South was reduced.
He adds:
4 ‘Notwithstanding all Jh.e;e difficulties,
notwithstanding the ou rages oommilted by
Northern troops, and the cruelties commit
ted by Northern jailors, it is a fact well
known to the intimite friend* of Mr? Davi*.
that he persistently turned a deaf ear to the
entreaties of ex reme men, and that he stead
fastly ret used to inaugurate in the Confede-
r»of a system of persecution which was ut
terly repug ifMit to every sentiment ot his
nature, and to the feelings of every brave
aud high-toued leader iu the 8outh. The
fact is, that it was the intention aud desire
of the Confedeiate G weromeut to provide
for its prisoners of war as it did for Us own
men. When, however, there was a scarcity
of food, the preference was naturally giyeu
t<i .Southern soldiers iu the field. Speaking
of the difficulty of providing even for these,
Major-General Heth said: It tbe soldiers
lust winter under my command had been in
prison, and had been reatrjcted lo the rations
allowed them, they would have been found
miserably insufficient. Some days they bad
no meat; at other times they bad no meal.
I rnysclt have repeatedly gone to my
hoise's feed-trough and robbed him of corn,
which I parched to appease my hunger. Had
my men been in cpnfiaement their safferlugs
would have been iuleuse. But they were
in the open a»r ; they were free; they were
active ; they were constantly skirmishing ;
they bud opportunities ot amnslng them
selves, and they had other things to think
about besides their own personal discom
forts. Had it been otherwise the troops of
my division would have been decimated by
disease.”
The entire article is painfully interesting,
and as material for history, this narrative of
personal sufferings aud personal indignities
endured by Southern tom In Northern prig,
ous, brief as it is, will be of no little value
at some future <Uy in any history of the
civil war which is not written by a Northern
historian. The testimony of Judge Ould,
Commissioner of Exchange, C B. A., which
was furnished for this ^article and will be
found embodied in it, baa already appeared
jth the columns of Uua paper-.
jvbgro radical intimidation*
Distrustful of the good senae of a more
Intelligent aiffi respectable portion of the
colored population, who may not be so
readily inveigled into at* altitude ot hostil
ity to the whites* the Radical leaders are re
sorting to falsehood aud intimidation iu the
hope of deceiving the credulous and frighten
ing the timid into abjecl submission to their
control. The lying is petiectly legitimate—
it has been the policy aud practice of the
party from its first organization N yrth. The
maxims of its great oracles .have beeu “a lie
well stuck to is as good as the truth”—aud
that ‘‘the end justifies the means.”- It
was by systematic and deliberate falsehood
and misrepresentation from tho Northern
press and pulpit that the sectional alienation
and bitterness which resulted in the de
struction of the Uuiou aud the Constitution
were first engendered. By falsehood and
misrepresentation, the party in power have
attempted to justify their despotic and cruel
oppression of the Southern people. This
policy waa very readily learned by tbe
black-and-taus from their Northern allies.
But it has remained for the Ebo Radicals
to take a step in advance of their teachers,
and to inaugurate a system of personal
iutimidation as a means ot controlling the
votes of their ignorant victims.
From every quarter we heur of diabolical
threats being made by the negto aud while
leaders ot the radical party against colored
men who may dare to vote against the ticket
endorsed by their secret and oath-bound
leagues. A negro by the uatue of Anderson
Who is a candidate lor the Legislature in
Houston oouuty, in a recent harungne to »
colored meeting declared that all who refused
to vote for him. would he “ drowned iu Big
Indian Creek." Similar throats were made by
the radical leaders in Bibb county recently,
who displayed a flag iu oue ot their proces
sions on which was inscribed “death to any
negro who refuses to vote the radical ticket, ’
or words to that effect. Tue same spirit whs
exhibited at a radical meeting held iu Colum
bus a few days since. Says the Enquirer:
At least two of the while Radical speak
ers, at their meeting on Saturday last, tried
vary hard to frighten Conservative colored
men, by telling the crowd of ignoruut and
excited negroes whom they were addressing
that any “ nigger ” who would vote against
Bullock or the Constitution “ought to be
put to death "— 44 ought uct to be allowed to
ive in the oountry oue hour”—ought to be
14 whipped with a cowhide or haudsaw,” etc.,
etc."
* + *
It would seem that the utterers of such
threats should come under the ban of Gen.
Meade’s late ediot. But we are sorry to say
that as yet we have seeu nothing in his offi
cial action to justify the beliet that he will
interpose his authority to check the audacity
of tbe miscreants who are engaged iu banding
together, arming and inciting the more tur
bulent blacks to acta of lawlessness, and with
threats of personal violence they are seeking
to overawe the more prudent and intelligent
among them into submission to their
will. This condition of things is not un
known to Gen. Meade, and it through his
partiality or neglect consequences which are
seriously appreheuded by all thoughtful men
should occur, upoa him will rest a fearful
responsibility.

EVENING DISPATCHES.
FROM WASHINGTON.
(■FACIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEWS AND
HERALD.)
Washington, D. G., April 5, 18Gt>.
The prosecution closed their case in the Im
peachment trial this evening, with the under
standing that any additional evidence that
might be elicited during the trial should be
presented. Before the adjournment of the
Court (or Senate) Mr. Curtis, oue of the Presi
dent’s counsel, said he was authorized by his
associate members to ask lor three days to
arrange for the defence, obtain documentary
evidence, Ac. This appeal, even was opposed
by about a dozen of the stronger Radical
members of the Sumner faction, who desired
to push the case through at once, aud continue
the trial with all haste on Monday next. A
vote was taken, and resulted in the postpone
ment of tho trial until Thursday next, by 87
to 10.
There is considerable dissatisfaction existing
among Republican Senators in regard to the
Impeachment question. I never saw a set of
men so miserably scared for fear the effort to
impeach Mr. Johnson will turn out futile, in all
my life. One thing is certain: If the case were
submitted—the evidence being heard by an
honest and impartial jury —the President would
be honorably acquitted, and on the evidence
produoed by the managers of Impeachment at
that. I have sat in the reportorial gallery day
by day during the trial, and heard the proceed
ings of the case in full, and I refrain not from
saying it is a disgrace to the representatives of
a free country to arraign the Chief Magistrate
on such ridiculous charges. All so far that has
any bearing at all on the Impeachment case
and against the President, is the removal of
Secretary Stanton trom the War Office. The
oouusel of the President will bring in testimony
in this case to the effect that every member of
Mr. Johnson’s Cabioet, including Stanton him
self,' advised ihe President that there were
certain sections in the tenure-of-olhce act
under which he could remove officials.
It is not improbable that the President's
counsel will soon submit to the Court of Im
peachment a motion to qu&9h the Impeachment
altogether. If such is the case, the whole
affair may turn out to be a dead lock oq those
who have made themselves so conspicuous in
bringing tbe matter before the Senate and the
country. Mr. Johnson's counsel are iu tine
spirits, and predict a triumph. Let the country
judge in the final event whether Radical or
trus Democratic doctrines shall rule our nation.
Allow me to say here that there is not the
least foundation in truth or in fact of the
President aud Judge Black having fallen out.
It is Mr. Seward and Mr. Black who disagrees.
Mr. Black does not think Seward the right man
in the right place. The reason Judge Black
declined being oue of the counsel for Mr. John
son is because Stanberry tendered his services,
aud Mr. Black had so much to attend to in
another direction, that he thought he could not
de justice to the case of the President. Mr.
Black still retains the good will and confidence
of the President, and is now one of his most
earnest friends.
I doubt not that this week has been one of
the most interesting aud exciting ever witnessed
at the Capitol. Several thousands of people
visit the Capitol daily, and the greatest interest
is manifested. There is a large force of police
always in attendance at the Capitol, aud au
additional number of troops are armed and iu
readiness for action near the city, should any
emergency require it. Potoxac.
A Note of Warning.—We take from the
New York Evening Post tbe following note
of warning, addressed to its Republican
readers. Thinking men of both parties will
concede that tbe “scoring” of the Post is
deserved, and that the fate of the Republi
can party will be as predicted. God graut
that it may be overthrown before the coun
try baa been irretrivably ruined. Here is
what the Post says:
In former times we should have appealed
__ itb confidence to the Seuate, representing
the integrity of tbe States, to interfere
against this rash, impolitic, dangerous kind
ot legislation; perhaps we may do so still;
and U so, we should beseech it, with all tbe
earnestness we cau summon, to consider well
these schemes, confessedly needless, and
which are pushed through for party ends,
and'with a party zeal. Tuey are not, wo as
sure it, acceptable to the oouutry; they will
certainly eost the Republicans their ascen
dancy; and they will pat Gen. Grunt in-a
position from wtrich, with all his popularity,
his good sense, his moderation, aud bis firm
ness, he will find U hard to exuicute himself
with honor.

Rooms State Ckkral Executive Committee, j
National Democratic Party of Ga.,
Macon, Ga., April 7, 1868.
A recent change in the candidate for the
office ol Governor to bo run by the Demo
crat iu Parly of Georgia in the election order
ed tor l|ir 20th mat., having beeu made* it is
proper that the reasons which induced the
withdrawal ot Judge Irwin, and the imme
diate substitution of auother iu his place,
should be made known.
When Judge Reese declined ft candidacy
for the office ul Governor, the Central ExtC-
u ive Committee found Judge Irwin before
tue people as a candidate, aud knowing him
to be a man iu whose bauds the intercuts of
Georgia might be wifely entrusted iu the
event ot bis election, aud uot r» Collecting
the fact of his having been on tho Electoral
ticket of his State which voted for Jefferson
Davis for President, aud A. II. Stephens for
Vice President of tho Southern Confederacy,
iu 1861—and not being aware that giving
such a vote as ail Elector, aud the holding
of the office of Judge of the Superior C mrtu
of the Blue Ridge Circuit: before the war
would render him ineligible to office accord
ing to the R'-construction Acts ol Congress
—the Committee, without hesitation, recog
nized him as a candidate in wh-are integrity,
ability aud moral worth the people Blight
confide, aud advised ail' who hive the honor
and welfare of too State at heart to coal
their voles for him.
The facts before stated, that he held an
office before the war which required him to
take an oathto support the constitution of
the United States, and that in 1861 he Vi ted
as a member of the electoral college of this
S ate lor J. tferson Davis for President, and
A. H. Stephens fdr Vice President of the
Southern Confederacy, having been brought
to the notice of Maj. Gen. Meade, command
ing the Third Mlilary District, he has de
cided thut the giviug such vote comes within
the purview ot the constitutional amend
ment, commonly known as the lour-teemh
article, and reuders Judge Irwin ineligible to
office under the Reconstruction Acta of .Con
gress, aud if elected by receiving a majority
of the votes cast, he would uot permit him
to be qualified aud installed into office.
Uuifer these circumstances, and yieldiog
to this decision, Judge L wia deemed u use
less to permit his name tn~be votadfor as a
caudidate lor Governor,, jybea ,hi* election,
if effected by the votes ofthc^people,.would
be unavailing. He immediately withdrew
hi* name, and so notified the members of the
Committee to whom he then had access.
The thiee members of Committee wbo
were in tbe city of Atlanta, and were* noti
fied of the withdrawal of Judge Irwin, and
the reasons therefor, saw at once that, owing
to the short time to elapse helore the elec
tion, the immediate substitution of another
candidate in his place was necessary—and
for tnis purpose, they proposed, by tele
graphic disputed, to t he members resident
in the City of Macon, who with themselves
constituted a majority of the Committee, the
name of e distinguished Georgian as a can
didate for the office, aud asked their concur
rence.
This was giv*h id tbr afternoon of the
tame d»y* hi sdon as the ifceuRjfcrs in SUcou
could be OMtaUltedtAod therefore, Chair,
man of thk^MBnftssi^vho^keBjfP^ljn the
City of . Albteth. immediately imfownced
that, by ahtScriiyef the Central Qtefcutive
Gommittefe v »t, tb& hfotiobnl. Democratic
Party ot GeSrgfh, tbey^recommeniFGenerai
John B. Gordon, of the County of Fulton,
as a candidate for the office of Governor of
Georgia, at the election ordered for the 20th
iust. And the Committee felicitate them-
aelsss: .UtiMirtbej were thus abledo announce
the name of a suitable candidate simulta
neously with the withdrawal of the other.
&&r£<u5iee<ilufe 'Uv do so* however, in
o#der fo gtjird against a like contingency'to
the one whioh threw Judge Irwin out ol the
eahvaas, a letter waa addressed to -General
Meade, stating that General Gordon had
fcever held any offide ' before! the late war
which required him to take amoath to sup
port the Constitution of the United States—
that he was a Major General iu the Army ol
the Conlederate States and has not been
pardoned, and his opinion as to his eligibili
ty was requested. He answered by let
ter, that according to the representations
made, he.considers General Gordon eligible
to office.
Aud the committee, with "pleasure, an
nounce that Geueral Gordon has yielded to
their recommeudatiou, and the solicitations
of a large and enthusiastic meeting of his
fellow citizens of Fulton county, held iu the
city of Atlaula on the eveuing of the 4th
lost., and consented to be a candidate lor
Governor at the approachiug election.
And now, fellow-citizens, the Committee
having promptly discharged with fidelity to
your iuiertgis, the d> licaie duty em rusted to
them, aud with a desire to subserve aud
promote the public good, as lar as their
power exteuds, it remains lor you to per
forin your duty, and do your part of the woik.
We trust that w« have recommended to
you a candidate worthy of your confidence—
a Geoigian who has never turned his haud
against his o&tive land, and npon wnose
bright escutcheon no *pot or blemish can be
fouud—one who iu sterner times than these
illustrated the character of Goorgia and
gave ample evidence oi the pure aud bright
patriotism which burns witniu his bosom.
We ask men of at/parties, names and faith to
uude iu houoriug this native sou ot Georgia,
aud by honoring him, to honor themselves.
We especially call upon the youug men of
the Statu, and iuvoke them to work constant
ly, vigorously, earnestly, zealously, faith-
lully, io secure the electron ot' him whom
they have often seen tried and never found
wanting.
We request the Democratic Clubs and the
Democratic parly, iu each and every county
iu the State, to use all lawful uieaus iu their
power to briug the legal voters of their re
spective counties to the polls; to canvass
their counties thoroughly, and see that none
fail to vote, aud, as lar as this appeal can be
received iu time for action, to see that all
who are entitled to register, and have not
done so, alieud to that duly without failure
and without delay. We repeat the request
for the appointment ot cballaogcrs for each
place of voting, wbo will uot leave their
posts during the time the election is being
held. And in order that the cballeug rs
may act uuderstandiugiy, and not violate the
order which has been issued for their regula
tion; we will add definite instructions us to
the grounds upon which challenges will be
allowed. ' g
No challenges will be allowed at the polls
but upon two grounds, and these are iden
tity and non residence. If it can be shown
that a person offering to vote is not the one
whose name he professes to bear, or that he
has not resided iu the country the time re
quired to entitle him to vole, cither will be a
good ground of challenge, aud will be per
mitted to be made. But no objection lor
any ground existing prior to his registratiou
will be heard ai the polls. All such obje c
tions are presumed to have been heard uud
decided by the Registrars at the time of reg
istration, aud are not permitted to be opened
afterwards by challcuge al the polls. It any
one has registered improperly, upon due
proof thereof before the Board ot Registra
tion while in session, his name may be
stricken from the list. For instance, if oue
under twenty-one years of age has registered
the fact ot non-age will not be allowed as a
ground of challenge, but the objection should
be made to tbe Registrars while in session
for ihe purpose of revising the lists, aud
upon due proof thereof it will be their duty
to strike the names.
These regulations lor challenges have been
prescribed by ihe M ijor General command
ing the Third District, and all per.-ons who
may tie appointed challengers ou tbe part of
the Democratic Party, are icquested to ob
serve them strictly aud couionu to them. Il
any pers*uis are known to have registered
improper—minors, lor instance—let ull who
arc cognizant of such cases make the nece?-
saiy proof to the Board of Registration, and
have the names stricken Hie objection iu
such cases wdl c me too la e at the polls.
Iu conclusion, we again invoke all who
desire tbat Georgia shall retain the exalted
character she has always borne, to go to
work at once, and to work for victory.
Oue united aud vigorous effort by all who
have the honor aud ue'fareof the iState at
heart, and yet save Georgia from disgrace
aud degradation.
