U ‘ u: filMILATIM II BITY AID (SDITIY.
MONDAY. MAY 4. 1868.
THE JElKCTAON,
Trough some of oar cotemporaries con-
ilavM to claim the election of Gordon, and a
CoLi-ervative majority in the Legislature, we
think the probabilities are that the Radi
cals have out counted us, so far as the Gov
ernor is concerned. The Constitution has
no doubt been carried by the relief men and
leaguers. But it is probable that in order
to carry out the Radical programme and
obtain control of the Legislature, the test
oath “ may” have to bo applied. Without
the Legislature to pass a disfranchising law
like that of Tennessee, the electoral vote of
the Siate in the Presidential election would
not be secured, and the ratification of the
Constitution, and the.election of Bullock,
would be a barren victory.
When the returns are reported officially
we shall publish them as a matter of curi
osity.
COUNTING* THE VCTES-iMVESTIGA-
TION OF FRAUDS.
It will be seen by the order which we
p lblish in another columo that Gen. Meade
has appointed a Military Board which as
sembles in Atlanta to-day to count and con
solidate the vote cast at the recent election.
It is also made the duty of the board to
thoroughly investigate ail questions of fraud,
and to report the same to the District Com
mander. However well intended this move
ment may be on the part of Gen. Meade,
we are disposed to think it utterly impracti
cable. That the most outrageous frauds
and irregularities were permitted by the
managers of the election in almost every
county in the State is well known, and it
is very doubtful if; after the manipulations
of Hulbert and bis dishonest subordinates
it would be possible tor a Military
Board in a month’s session to bring
to light anything like the one-half, villainies
so universally and unblushingly perpetrated.
The triumph of the Radicals in the State
election was manifestly a foregone conclu
sion, as isi clearly indicated by the fact that
the victory over the Conservatives was con
fidently announced in Washington and in the
columns of Forney’s “ two papers, both
daily ” more than a week ago, before half
the counties of the State had been heard
from even in Atlanta. This being so clear
ly the determination of the party having the
management of the election, and the frauds
resorted to for its accomplishment being so
unit'- guised, we have made up our mind to
i 01 u,suit, feeling no longer any interest in
wii.it we shall ever regard as a burlesque
cl - ct;ou. Especially are we indifferent to
ih c iant of the votes when it matters not
who li .3 the majority, as only those who
can't uco the test oath will be permitted to
fill t o positions to which they are elected.
V\ presume the only object now in for
mal.y c <nuLiug the votes is to ascertain
wu ; y the necessity exists for the en-
i rc : at of the oath which will exclude
A\a> oti twentieths of the white men of
Geoi i t lu»m holding office.
. Tiie annals of despotism the world over
produce no parallel to the injustice, tho out
rage .tad mockery to which the people of the
South ire being subjected by the base and
unprincipled taction who have nsnrped the
government.
A R J CIL ELUCTlONUERINa CARD-
TH tii WHITES TO BE T tXKil TO oUP-
PO IT VAGABOND BLACKS.
Foster Blodgett, the Radical Mayor of
Augusta, addresses a communication to the
Radical Board of Aldermen of that city, in
which he complains that “scores of citizens
have been thrown out of employment” and
thus “deprived of the necessaries of lif«,”
having been discharged by their employers
for voting the Radical ticket in the late elec
tion. He thns concludes:
As the employers who have thus acted
are, with but tew exceptions, among our
largest tax payers, I suggest, gentlemen,
that temporary rations be issued to needy
parties who may furnish satisfactory evidence
of having received such treatment, aud that,
if necessary, an additional tax be levied for
carrying out this humane design.
The communication was referred to a
committee of Council, who will probably re
port favorably at their next monthly meet
ing. In the meantime it will be a good elec
tioneering card for the Radicals, and w*U
fit c ire the votes of all the vagabond hi grot i
fox miles around our devoted sister cu.>.—
Since the day of Freedmen’s Bureaus “ra
tions” have become a popular institution
with worthless blacks, who much prefer
loafing about in idleness, attending political
meetings and eating at the public crib, to
carniDg their bread by honest industry.
Should the Radical Council of Augusta fol
low out this “humane design,” there will be
swarms of hungry negroes who can give
“satisfactory evidence” of having nothing
to do, and we shall not be surprised to hear
of a wonderful increase in the leyal popula
tion of that city. Unless the Scalawag party
in this city emblazon “rations” on their ban
ner they will lose many of their voters by
emigration to Augusta.
The threat of levying taxes for such a
purpose should warn “our largest tax pay
ers” what they have to expect should the
Radicals succeed in getting possession of
our city government. It sbonld also open
the eyes of honest colored men, who feel an
interest in the general welfare of the cons
munity in which-they live, to the villainy of
their pretended friends*
Southern Reconstruction. — The New
York Times thus discloses the milk in the
cocoanut:
“The Hartford Courant remarks that
there is no .pledge on the parf of Congress to
admit the Southern States, even if their new
constitutions have been adopted, until
enough of the Legislatures have adopted the
constitutional amendment to make it part of
the fundamental law. F. ys more are needed,
and no Siate will be admitted until the Leg
islature of them all have action. The
elutions were held in the South, we think,
Under a different impressions. We trust it
will be definitely settled in due course of
1 time whether the Southern States are to
coipe in or not. If they are not, it ought not
> lunger to be deemed a crime, on one side
more than on the other, to keep them out.”
'Defeat of Mr. Alexander.—-We regret
to learn from the Columbus Enquirer that
the h in so confidently entertained of the
e* ctir. i of Mr. Alexander, in the 3d Con-
g essi niil District, is abandoned. The En-
q urer says-: - ;
*‘3.i is beaten, probably, five or six hun
dred votes. The counties in the lower part
of the District did all tbatcoiilfi'have been
expected of them, under the cifcomitances,
but the upper counties, “with their White ma
jorities broke the line and gave the victory
to the enemy.”

FRIDAYS DISPATCHES.
FROM WASHINGTON.
A Lively Time In Congress—Impeach,
ment, &c.
Washington, May 1—Noon.—House.—No
legislative business.
There were no preliminary proceedings in
Court. Evarts resumed his argument and will
conclude to-day. Stanberry follows.
Registration, as it progresses, shows increas
ing white majority.
Washington, May 1—P. M.—Mr. Evarts
closed at 3 p. m.
After recess Stanbery commenced, saying
that although feeble in health, an irresistible
impulse urged him on, unseen; but friendly
hands sustained him, and voices, inaudible to
Others, he heard whispering of hope and con
fidence, and saying or seeming to say, “Feeble
champion of the right, hold not back. Remem
ber the race is not always to the swift, nor the
battle to the strong. Remember a single
pebble from a brook was enough to overthrow
the giant that defied the armies of Israel.”
The Court adjourned.
House.—In the House the Alta Vela reso
lution was resumed. Mr. Brooks divided
his hour among the Democrats and moved
the previous question, which was not sec
onded. An amendment was offered which
opened free debate. Mr. Logan opened and
was called to order for using the word vil
lainous. He took it back. He was next
called to order for saying Brooks said what
Brooks knew to be untrue.
The Speaker ruled the expression to be
parliamentary.
The date of a letter which had been de
nied in Court a few days ago was admitted
in the House, but innocent motives asserted.
His speech was very bitter.
Butler took the floor and accused Brooks
of robbing his partners, Ac. Asked Brooks
if, while Butler was fighting. Brooks in this
House did not call Butler a good robber.
Brooks replied “yes, aud I made you
disgorge $60,000 to a citizen of New
York.”
Crimination and recrimination followed.
The Speaker called Brooks to order.
Mr. Brooks did not know why the Speaker
had not called Butler to order. He (lid not
know how he was to get satisfaction. H6
could not get it personally from u man like
Butler, who had been whipped at his home
in Massachusetts by a bricklayer, for insult
ing the bricklayer’s wile.
The resolutions were tabled—70 to 26.
Daring the debate Eldridge called Logan
no gentleman, and Logan called Eldridge a
blackguard.
The House adjourned.

days after adjournment of the convention.

teed, of the United Stales Court for A-ab-una,

Corpus applied tor last Monday, but the mili
tary still holding Mr. Randolph, the f blow
ing telegraphic correspondence took place

SATURDAYS DISPATCHES.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Able Speech off Mr. Stanbery—Waah-
hnrn’s Letter In Regard to Donnely.
Washington, May 2—Noon.—Stevens in.
farmed the Reconstruction Committee that
he was sick, and no meeting was held to
day.
The offensive speeches in the House last
nigut were patiently swallowed. Serious
consequences are improbable.
Nothing was done in the House to-day.
In the Impeachment Coart, Stanbery pro
ceeded with his argument.
Washington, May 2—P. M.—Stanbery
concluded as follows: “Now listen for a
moment to one who understands Andrew
Johnson better than the most of yon, for his
opportunities have been greater. Wheo
nearly two years ago he called me from the
pursuits of my professional life to take a
seat-in bis Cabinet, I answered the call un
der a sense of public duly. I came here
almost a stranger to him and every member
of the Cabinet except Mr. Stanton. We had
been friends for many years. Senators,
need I tell yon that all my tendencies are
Conservative? You, Mr. Chief Justice,
who have known me for a third of a cen
tury can bear me witness. Law, not arms,
is my profession. From the moment that I
was honored with a seat in the Cabinet
of Mr. JoHoson, not a step was taken that
did not come under my observation—not a
word was said that escaped my attention. I
regarded him close in the Cabinet, and still
more in private 'and confidential conversa
tion. I saw him often tempted with bad ad
vice. I knew that evil counsellors were
more than once around him. I observed
him with the most intense anxiety, but
never, in word, in deed, in thought, in ac
tion, did I discover in that man anything bat
loyalty to the Constitution and the laws. He
stood firm as a rock against all temptation to
abuse his own powers or to exercise those
which were not conferred upon him. Stead
fast and self-reliant in the midst of all diffi
culty—when dangers threatened, when temp
tations were strong, he looked only to the
Constitution of his country and to the peo-
ole. Yes, Senators, I have seen that man
tried as few have been tried. I have seen
his confidence abused. I have seen him en
dure, day after day, privations such as few
men have been called upon to meet. No
man could have met them with more sublime
patience. Sooner or later I knew the explo
sion must come; and when it did come my
only wonder was that it bad been so long de
layed. Yes, Senators, with all his faults the
President has been more sinned agaiust than
sinning; fear not then to acquit him.
The Constitution of the country is as
safe in his hands from violence as it was in
the bauds of Washington. But if, Senators,
you condemn him—it you strip him of the
robes of office—if you degrade him to. the
utmost strength of your power, mark the
prophecy: The strong arms of the people
will be about him. They will fiud a way to
raise him from any depths to which yon may
consign him, and wo shall live to see him re
deemed and to hear the majestic voice of the
people, Well done, faithful |servaut; you
shall have your reward. But if, Senators—
a9 I cannot believe, but has been boldly said,
with almost official sanction—your voles
have been canvassed and the doom of the
President sealed, then let that judgment not
be pronouuced in the Senate Chamber, just
here, where our Camiiius, in the
hour of our greatest peril, single-
handed, met aad bafflad the ene
mies of the Republic; not here, where he
s’ood faithful among the faithless; not here
where he fought the good fight for the Union
and the Constitution; not in this chamber,
whose walls echo with the clarion voice that
ia the days of our greatest danger carried
hope and comfort to many a desponding
heart, strong as an army with banners; no,
not here; seek out rather the darkest and
gloomiest chamber in the subterranean re
cesses of the Capitol, where the cheerful
light of day never enters; there erect the al
tar aud immolate the victim.
House.—In the House, after the return from
the Court, Donnely, of Minnesota, made a
personal explanation. Washburn,of Illinois,
wrote a letter to Donnely’s constituents, de
nouncing him. Donnely said the letter con
tained tweDty-four false statements. Don
nely proceeded an hour and a half, in the
most bitter invective.
The Speaker called him to order, half a
dozen limes.
Washburn said—“Let tho party go on,”
and the House not objecting; he went on.
Donnely bad letters read, going to show
that Washburn had outrageously slandered
him.
Washburn replied, reiterating the truth of
his letter, and saying he could moke no
answer to a man who had been false to his
friends, his party, his country, his religion
aDd his God.
IVnding a moliou to censure Washburn
the House adjourned.
Tho Star .says heavy bets were made yes
terday, the odds being three to one in favor

vatives have one majority in the Senate,
whlchjwill prevent the adoption ot the four

$4,500,000 ; for the year, $150,000,000.

cupy two, probably*Jhree days with his argu
ment in the Impeachment trial.
The following is an extract from Donnelly’s
inveenve against Elihu B. Washburn : “ If
there be in our midst one low, sordid, vulgar
soul; one barren of mediocre intelligence;
one heart callous to every kindly sentiment and
to every generous emotion, one tongue leprous
with slander; one month which is like unto a
den ot foul beasts, giving forth deadly odors.;
—if there be one character which, while
blotched and spotted, raves and rants and
blackguards like a prostitute; if there be here,
one bold, bad, empty, bellowing demagogue, U
is the gentleman from Illinois.’*
Bank Statement.
New York, May 3.—The bank statement
shows an i> crease of loans of $5 014,000; in
specie $1,232,000; in deposits $10,396,000; in
legal tenders $3,096,000; decrease of circu
lation, $112,000.

Departed this life on the 18th of Merab, 1868, at
8aa Luis Fotoai, Dr. JAMES H. BERRIEN, of Sa
vannah, Georgia, Surgeon of tho Confederate States
Navy, aged thirty-two years.
Bemovad, after a brief illness, from the sphere of
profenionai usefulness in which he was eminently
distinguished—from the beloved, though distant
home atrdo, where his heart’s warmest affections
centered—in the fluh of hie noble manhood, he has
gone to his everlasting reel, anted in inteHeot,
steadfast in principle, in all the relations of life an
honorable gentlemen, the simple diguity of hie
character commanded respect, while his sterling
qualities of mind and heart, and nnsnllied parity of
nature, diffused happiness on all within his influence.
The gallant Soldier has pot off his armor; the faith
ful Patriot has laid the last costly oblation on the altar
of hie ruined oouutry; the tender, thoughtful Brother
and Friend, to whom so many hearts tamed in the
fond rope of reunion, sleeps far from the home of hie
birth, and “ shall return no more, nor see his native
country.’’ But the memory of his noblenesa and
worth will live on, and tho’ tears may fall upon “the
early lost—the beautiful—the dead," we know that
our brother shall rise again ’* in the power or an end-
leee life, incorruptible, nndeflled, and that faded not
■' Blessed are the pure In heart, for they shall see
God.”
