DEATH OF AM 01,0 CIITZRM.
We regret to announce the death of Seaborn
Goodall, one of our oldest and most highly
respected citizens, who died, after a protracted
illness, at his residence in this city on Sunday
night, in his 73d year. The deceased was a
native of a Northern State, but had been for
many years a resident of Savannah, engaged in
commercial pursuits. Enjoying in a high de
gree the respect and confidence of his fellow-
citizens, he was frequently called to positions
of honor and trust, in all of which he exem
plifled the character of an upright and consci
entious man. He was a prominent and influential
member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and
died an he had lived—in the full enjoyment of
the Christian’s faith. The last words uttered
by him, just before his spirit departed to its
eternal home, were, “ The Lord is a present
help in time of trouble.”
He member.—That challenges at the polls
will be permitted for only two causes—identity
and non-residence. If a voter who is known
to be under age presents himself there, it is
too late then to challenge. If you know such
an one, black or white, who has registered, go
to the registrar and make oath to that fact,
and have his name stricken from the lists. It
will be too late when he conies to vote. Gen.
Meade has so decided.
Grnkral Msadk’s Last Obdbs.—-We
publish in another column an order from
Gen. Meade, threatening fine and imprison
ment against those who may discharge em
ployes who vote contrary to their wiahea.
That is all very well in theory. Bat when
the State is in the bands of the carpet-bag
gers there will be very little employment for
anybody. In that case ihe loyal leaguers
who vole to bring ruin on the country
will be very apt to be the first to feel the
pressure.
Mb. Hill s Anoaass.—This document, to
be found on the first page of this paper, will
not fail to arrest attention. It is an eloquent
and powerful appeal to his fellow-citizens of
Georgia to rally to ihe rescue of their good
old commonwealth fioin bands that are
raised to revolutionize and despoil her. We
unite with the Macon Telegraph in the hope
.hat there is enough of State pride and love
of iieerty left for his warning voice to be
beard and heeded Hr. Hill also gives us
many ■ftords of encouragement, which,’ we
hope, wil 1 inspire every oue to take courage
and go for ward in tbe discharge of the greai
duty he ewes his tttate and country in this
hour of peril. -
The Colombus Arrests.—The following are
the names of the persons recently arrested in
Columbus by the military authorities,. as is
supposed on suspicion of being concerned in
the assassination of the notorious Ashburn f
William R. Bedell, Christopher C. Bedell,
James W. Barber, Alva C. Roper, William L.
Cash, William D. Cbipley, Robert A. Ennis,
Elisha J. Kirkscey, Thomas W. Grimes, Wade
H. Stephens, John Wells, colored, John Sta
pler, colored and James McHenry, colored.
All the parties have been released on a bond
signed by four hundred of the most influential
men of Columbus, including twenty-four re
spectable colored citizens.
Ths Jackson (Miss.) Clarion thinks that the
Conservatives in that State, while they may no^
be able to defeat the proposed Constitution,
cap, by a united effort, secure a Conservative
Legislature, and elect a Governor, and at least
two, possibly more, members of Congress.
Repudiation Threatened bt a- Leading
Radical.—In the Senate, on Wednesday, Mr.
Wilson opposed paying William B. Otis, of
Indiana r for damage done to hie land by Fed
eral soldiers during the war. Morton, of Indi
ana, contended that the claim for damage to
lend by the army was as legitimate as any other
claim against the Treasury, and reminded Wil
son that if such claims were repudiated, the
viezi proposition from the West might be to
repudiate other and larger claims, known as
Government bonds, and strongly hinted the
danger/of templing the Western sentiment in
this particular. If the Western landholder was
to be plundered, the Eastern bondholder
might share a like fate, was the plain English
of the -Argument. Hendricks also demanded
that tbe claim should be considered and decided
on its merits, and hinted at general repudia
tion. .. ’ "

Tht tMeUftf of tiorttatatite citizens it
kasonio Hall wait largely attended by nil
classes of oitr citizens, the large hall being
filled to it* utfboet capacity. Among the
audience we were pleased to observe several
of our most respectable colored citizens;
who listened attentively to the speeches,
giving frequent manifestations of their ap
proval of the sentiments of the speakers.
The meeting was opened by a very appro
priate and forcible address from. Dr. Arnold,
the Chairman, who was* followed by Samuel
Hall, Esq., of Southwestern Georgia, in an
able and eloquent speech, in which be inf-
pressed upon bis hearers the importance of
the cm is, and tbe necessity of zealous and
united effort on tbe part ot the Conservative
people of Georgia to rescue the State from
threatened disgrace and ruio. He passed in
review the fraud, injustice and studied am
biguities of the Atlanta Constitution, and
v/araed his hearers of the evils which would
result from its ratification. He paid a high
compliment to the ability and character of
General Gordon, the Conservative nominee
for Governor, and expressed his confidence
that be would be elected.
iloiv D.jA. Vason, of Albany, was next in
troduced. He gave a very encouraging re
port of the prospect 1q South-western Georgia
and other sections of the State, where tbe
nomination of Gen. Gordon had been greeted
with enthusiasm by. the people. He ex
pressed the opinion tbat tbe intelligent col-
oiad men of the State were beginning to un
derstand the character and designs of tbe
carpet-baggers, and tbat if properly encour
aged and informed by the white people ol
tbe true issues involved in the coming
election, thousands of them would come out
from tbe Leagues, and support good and
true men for the offices ot the Slate. He
counseled activity aud conciliation. The
interests of the white and black people of
Georgia were identical, and it was a duty we
owe ourselves and to them to instrnot and
counsel them. He appealed to the young
men to take au active part in the cauvas,
and to use every proper means ia their
power to promote the success ol the Con
servative parly.
Mr. Lester, our Senatorial nominee, being
loudly called fi<r made an able address which
was enthusiastically received by ihe meeting.
Taking the meeting as an indication ol
the spirit with which our people are going
iato the contest, it was well calculated to in
spire confidence of sneoess. Let every man
who has at heart the true interests ol the
Stale do his whole duly and all will be well.
Good News From Cherokee.
We have intelligence, says tbe Augusta
Constitutionalist, of tbe moat cheeriug char
acter from North Georgia. Tbe slogan of
“Gordon and Georgia” has gone like wild
fire through the White Belt and we, who
lead a hum-drum political life in this region,
have little conception of the enthusiasm dis
played by those concerning whose fidelity
we bad some suspicion. Strange as it may
seem, the people of North Georgia are not
only almost en masse for Gordon, but, the
Belief trick having been exploded, are ar-
raying themselves in solid phalanx against
the Constitution. Judge Irwin's friends are
concentrating against the Radical nominee.
The Democracy have gone into the canvass
with a vim, aud, wbiie Gov. Brown and his
renegade henchmen are receiving cold com
fort, Democratic speakers are having a per
fect ovation. The popularity of Brown has
passed away, and, so distrustful is be of his
own countrymen, tbat a military guard is
reported as dancing attendance upon his
footsteps, to protect his truly loyal person
from men who hate reoreants. It is not in
the nature of a southern man to love this
apostate, when tbe spotless knight Got don
has taken the field and uufurled his
snowy banner.
Reiorm in Ireland.—The reform bill for
Ireland, apart from tbe great question of tbe
established church, was introduced into the
British House ot Commons on March 19th.
It p oposes to reduce the county franchise
to <12 rating, and the borough franchise to
<4 rating, together with a lodger franchise—
tbe whole to be under the same conditions
as the corresponding franchises in England.
There is aUo Borne re-arrangement of seats
in Ireland. Downpatrick is to yield its mem
ber to a division of the county|Down; Dun-
ganon is to give up its seal to a division of
Tyrone; Bandon and Emsate to a division
of Cork county; Cashel to a division of Tip
perary; and Port Arlington to the city ol
Dublin. The bill was read the first time,
and laid over. This proceeding gets the en
ure Reform question before Parliament. The
Reform bill tor England and Wales is al
ready a law; that for Scotland was intro
duced some time ago; and now the bill for
Ireland is before the House
General Grant’s Vengeance.—The sol
diers at Carlisle Barracks, Pa , having passed
resolutions declaring the^r sympathy with
Mr. Johnson, General Grant issued an or
der assigning tbe commander of the post,
General Grier, to duty with bis regiment ol
cavalry, in Missouri, and ordering General
Hatch to his place for two years. A sub
sequent order notifies the new commander
to prepare detachments of recruits from
time to time, jond forward them to Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, where they will be
assigned to doty.
Thus these poor soldiers are to be seot to
the wilds of tbe West for saying a word in
favor of their constitutional commander-in
chief, while General Grant may declare that
the President ought to .be removed from
office without even having to stand a trial
for ioaobordination.

Washington, April 13.— Senate.—A mo
tion to amend the rules and allow additional
speeches was tabled. Htevens, Williams,
Boutwell and Logau were disappointed, and
Steveos aud Williams made special appeals
for a hearing.
Geu. Suerraan was recalled and Mr. Stan-
bt ry asked him whether after Stanton’s res
toratiou the good of the service required an
other man than Stanton at the head of the
War Department? Butler objected to the
question, and Bingham said if Gen. Sher
man’s opiuion was given, forty-thousand
other meu’s opinions might be called. But
ler spoke at length and warned the Sena
tors tbat Saturday’s struggle would be re
newed to-day. Several questions were asked
l>y Senators, and a general debate ensued.
Mr. Evarts said they desired to show that
tbe President’s action was for the good of
the service, bused on opinions of honest aod
intelligent officers. The Senate refused to
hi-ar tbe answer; yeas only 15. Davis voted
nay, and Sprague and Saultbury were absent;
Fowler, Grimes, Ross, Trumbull and Van
Winkle voted aye. Senator Johnson asked
General Sherman tbe following question:
“Did you at any time, and when, before J£r.
Stanton’s removal, advise the President to
appoint unother person?” Butler objected.
Mr. Chase decided tbat the question pro
pounded by tbe Senator conld only be ob
jected to by the court. Drake objected, and
the Senate refused to hear the answer by a
vote of 18 to 32. The Republicans voting
aye were Anthony, Edmunds. Fessenden,
Fowler, Grimes, Headers n, Rosa, Trum
bull and Van Winkle. General Sherman
then left the stand
The C erk of the District Court- was
called, aud after a contest the proceed
ings attending Gen. Thomas’ arrest were
admitted.
Geu. Sherman was recalled at the instance
of Senator J ibnson, who asked: “Wheu tbe
President tcudered you the office of Secreta
ry of War on the 20:h and 30ih of January
did he state wbat his purpose in so doing
was ?” There was an objection, and the
Senate decided io hear the answer by a vote
of 26 to 22 Gen. Sbermau answered “Yes.”
Senator Johnson asked, “Will you state
wbat he said his purpose was ?” The ques
tion was objected to. Mr. Cbafc decided
the questiou aduissable. as it tended to show
the import of tbe President’s action Mr.
Chase wi.e sustained by a vote of 26 to 25.
tteu. -Sherman commenced wheu Butler
interrupted him, but the witness (bought best
to proceed in his own way. The President
told Gen. Sherman that under the relations
<>f Stanton towards other members of tbe
Cabinet and the President, the President
could not have tbe War Department admin
istered properly, and in tbe interests of the
army and the whole country while S an ton
lemained Secretary ot War, and with the de-
aire to promote and care tor thoee interests
tbe President had tendered Sherman the
position of Secretary of War. Sherman asked
tbe President why he did not have the
oase made up by. bis lawyers no as to
briug about a change without involving wit
ness, an officer of the army, in the matter.
The President replied that that could not be
done; but if it could be brought before the
Supreme Court, Stan tea’s case would not
stand an hour. Mr. Stauberry asked a ques
li >n and Butler objected. Mr. Chase rated
that Mr. Stanberry could ask relative to
facts elicited by Senator Johnson's question.
An appeal was taken and a debate ensued,
pending which Butler asked whether the
question put by the Senator from Maryland
was as counsel for the President. Mr.
Johnsou rose from his seat and administered
to Butler a sharp rebuke, at which Bailer
was abashed.
Finally, Gen. Sherman proceeded, and sta
ted that at the first interview uothiug very de
finite was said by either; during the second,
the Presideot expressed a desire to have the
constitutionality i f tbe Tenure nf-Ofltee bill
tested and told Sherman that Stanton would
offer no r> sistauce, and that Bherman did
not know Stanton as well as the President
knew him, that Stanton was a coward.
Sbermau gave no positive answer. He an
swer! d in writing Senaler Henderson
ask d, “D.d.lbe President on either occasion
express a determination to. remove Stanton
fiotn office ” Geu Sherman answered and
said the President never expressed any in
tention to nsb force, but eeemed determined
that their relations should cease. Senator
Howui d asked, •* vbat did the President say,
about lorcef” Gen. Sherman repeated the'
Presideu’i belief tbat Stanton would not re
sist. {Senator Henderson asked, “Whether
Sberm .n g ive the President advice?" The
Senate refused to hear answer. The man
agers summoned Gen. Sherman for to-mor
row and he left the siaud. The evidence re
garding Thomas’ at rest was resumed and
tbe Senate adjourned.
