A two-thirds vote—that of thirty-six Sen
ators—will be required to convict the Presi
dent. Assuming that the eleven Democratic
Senators will vote in a body for acquittal,
and that Mr. Wade will insist upon and be
allowed permission to cast his vote into the
verdict, eight Republican votes are requisite
to overcome the decision of two-thirds ol
the Senate, and thus secure the President’s

privilege which a majority of the Senate
would doubtless accord to him, seven Re
publican votes would suffice for acquittal.
Thus, says the Charleston Courier, the
only chance of Mr. Johnson’s escaping con
viction rests upon the possible defection of
a few conservative and independent Repub
lican Senators from the standard of party
orthodox. The doubtful Senators from whom
the votes required to secure an acquittal are
looked for, are Messrs. Fessenden, Trumbull,
Grimes, Fowler, Van Winkle, Sprague, An
thony, Ross, Norton, Edmunds, and Mor
rill, of Maine. But it is to be noted that of
these eleven votes claimed or hoped for by
tbe President’s friends, hardly one can be
depended on as certain for acquittal.
DON’T KICK THEM.
It is well enough to bear in mind that the
miserable creatures whom the Radicals are
using for the degradation and humiliation of
our people—the base traitors to their race
and country, the betrayers of their wives
and children, their kith and kin, who for the
rewards 11 pay and office have perjured their
souls to become the despised tools of our
oppressors -are under the especial protection
of those whom they serve, and must be per
mitted to enjoy their ifaray with impunity.
However insolent, odious and disgusting
they may render themselves, they can only
be scorned or chastised at the risk of pun
ishment by a military commission, and, as
in the case of the seven young men of Ala
bama, of being sent to hard labor for years in
the Dry Tortugas. In illustration of this
fact, we give the following from the Au
gusta Chronicle:
Some eight or ten days since a gentleman
was standing in the office of the National
Hotel at Atlanta, when Blodgett addressed
him familiarly, whereupon the latter asked
Blodgett how be dared presume to address

NOON DISPA TGBES.
RECKONING WITHOUT THEIR HOST.
In counting np a majority in the Legisla
ture the BadioaU have coanted several
gentlemen whom we have known for many
yean -as good substantial Democrats, and
very honorable men. Now we can f believe
him; that he considered it an insult for such
a man to speak to him, and furthermore that
he would chastise him (Blodgett; if he ever
spo ke to him again. Blodgett replied that
two could play at that g ame. The gentle
man in question then a9ke d Blodgett if he
was ready to try his hand ; but he said ho
wanted to have no difficulty , and went up
to his room. While going up the steps.be
looked back rather menacingly, when the
other party in question told him that if he
ever looked at him ia that way again or ever
spoke to him hereafter under any circum
stances, he would blow his d—d head off.
It wa9 doubtless this circumstance that fur
nished grounds for the following characteris
tic dispatch in Forney’s Philadelahia Prets, are a
telegraphed from Washington:
PLANS OF THE REBELS TO ASSAS
SINATE FOSTER BLODGETT.
MEASURES TAKEN TO ARBEST THEM—ONE OF
THEM A FROMINBNNT DEMOCRAT.
“General Meade having been informed
that some of the Rebel* of Georgia have re
solved to assassinate Foster Blodgett, who
will probably be elected United States Sen
ator from Georgia, has taken mersures to
arrest the assassins, one of whom is a well-
known Democratic leader. Ex-Gov. Joseph
Hi. Brown will be the other Senator.”
If yon would not make these creatures
Senators or Cabinet Ministers and expiate
your folly by years of hard labor in the Dry
Tortugas, don’t kick ’em. Like Maworm
they “glories in persecution and loves to
be dispised,” for according to their baee
ness and perfidy is their reward. Don’t
kick them whatever you do.
Personal.—We had the pleasure on Tues
day afternoon of a visit from our long time
friend, Albert R. Lamar, Esq, who is at
present on a visit to this city, his former
home. Mr. Lamar for some time previous
to the war was the editor of the Georgian,
aud is at present editor of the Columbus
Bun. As a graceful and forcible writer, a
consistent and fearless champion of conser
vative democratic principles, he has few
equals in the editorial fraternity—as a cour
teous and high toned gentleman he is de
servedly popular. While conductor of the
Georgian he gave to that paper a wide-spread
popularity and influence as the Democratic
organ of this section or the State, and in
our midst he will be greeted by many warm
personal friends, who have not iorgotten his
zealous devotion to the honor and interests
of our city and his native Georgia. He will
remain here a few "days on a'Vlsit to his
family and friends.
NUMBER THREE.
Which Is Atoat Children, but Is Recom
mended to the Careful Perusal of
Adults.
Belgravia Square is a great rendezvous for
children, all sizes, with nurses and jrtyhout.
I so like children that I often watch their gam
bols for hoars, and I do not tire, or go asleep,
for I see new developments at every glance. I
get more in lovs with them every day, though
I can’t say, old, gouty, blase and little useful
that I am, I would go back and be a child again.
I see little angels and little devils, in about
every collection, and a peculiar and not very
credible fact about my discovery is, some of the
small angels are shock-headed, and some of the
diminutive devils have long curls, fragrant with
Macassar, for which a nurse is held strictly
responsible. The other day I picked up a copy
of Ecce llomo, which I had before perused
thoroughly, but in which the following para
graph struck me with new force ;
And when the criminal in tbe father of children,
the curse descends even upon those who are wholly
Innocent, and before they are • old enough to dialin-
gaish right from wrong, they are, as it were, received
into the Evil Church by infant baptism; their parents
or parent**’ friends standing sponsors, aud promising
for them that which, when they come to age, they
take upon themselves but too willingly.
The Saviour said of little children : “Of such
is the kingdom of heaven,” and I know of
nothing more heavenly than the smiles and the
prattlings of uncorrupted little boys aud girls
—not even the warbling of songsters, the
glories of the skies, or the beauties of the floral
world. But when the carnal passions are cu
tirely exhibited, like weeds choking all good
things out of the heart, their bad actions are
more sickeuing to the soul than more demon
strative acts by the older in sin. Like fruit
rotted in its youth, like desp iled flowers, like
diseased birds, these demonized angels are the
more offensive in the absurdity of their cor
ruption.
I do not believe in those pale, good little
boys of the juvenile tracts, who read Jonathan
Edwards at six years old, and closing the book,
say, “ Oh, w hat a consolation! ” who never
are known to want to play Sundays; who never
have the least desire to run away from school
pleasant afternoons; who don't wrestle; who
prefer studying St. Paul to rolling hoop or
playing marbles; who pray the Lord to forgive
them for tearing their trowsers; who arc turned
out of stores through the machinations of evil-
minded porters, because they are so honest
they won’t allow the appropriation of a lump of
sugar; and who finally die of excessive good
ness—a good riddance, practically considered.
The fact is, children are born with the Old
Adam iu them as much as cats with tails, or
rabbits with big ears. I wouldn't give a cent
for a young one without it. But it does seem
to me as though some children are made iu the
likeness of the Old Harry, tail aud horns and
all. I suppose they iuherit their deviltry, but
a good deal of it is educated into them in their
first years of buddiug comprehension, by un
godly nurses and injudicious parents.
There are three classes of boys, and I sup
pose corresponding ones of girls. There are
those who byinheritance, and culture in evil, and
the force of the worst associations, are already
received into the devil’s church, in true faith,
with zealous adherence, and little danger of
backsliding. There is the middle class, of boys
of spirit and natural ability, brave, reckless,
shrewd, generally successful in good and evil
schemes, practicing both, fighting with the
deacons and the rowdies through all their boy
hood, and usually circumventing them. These
keep on to the culminating point of manhood,
when they separate, some taking the road to
the penitentiary, and some to honor, wealth and
fame. ‘Few of them remain mediocrities. Some
become eminent iu the church, law, mediciue,
commerce or mechanics; some prove the
smartest of thieves, the most skillful of bur
glars, the most expert of gamblers, always
keeping to the front of their profession. Then
there are the inevitably respectable boys, who
have good behavior born in them, never do
anything very bad, sit at the foot of their
classes with the utmost decorum, aud are nega
tively superior to both the other classes, but
have no positive qualities, gain no honors, and
commit no offences.
I believe I had rather take my chance for a
pick out of the second class. Scarcely any of
them are irredeemable, and they are many
carats fiuer gold than your alloyed fellow’s
whom attrition won’t affect. The first class
frightful whirlpool, the second a clear-
flowing river, with some dangerous rapids; the
third a sluggish pond, where you are safe from
drowning, but where there is no breeze for
sailing.
Parents are not strict enougb with their
children. In the old times they were too
strict. Dr. Watts got cowhidings enough for
a whole reformatory school, and my grand-fa
ther had his catechism horse-whipped into him
by a most excellent man of God. I don’t be
lieve in corporeal punishment for children. 1
would a3 soon see a husband strike his wife as
a father his little child. If I were a boy, and
my father tried to cowhide goodness into me, I
should get rid of the flagellation by saying,
“ Please, sir, I will be good,” but mentally
ejaculate, “ I’ll be d—d if I will,” thus invol
ving profanity, falsehood and disobedience, as
the result of improper discipline. There is
rarely need of any punishment. The good
horse-trainer does not whip his horse. If fa
thers would bestow tbe same care on their
children as their horses, they would improve
the young generation wonderfully; and if
mothers would observe the fitting of their chil
dren’s characters as carefully as the fitting of
their dresses, and be as particular in the selec
tion of nurses and governesses as of dress
makers, they would save themselves much after
trouble. “Train up a child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he will not
depart from it.”
But from my window in Belgravia Square I
see too mueh of indulgence and too much of
strictness, stuffings with candy, and cuffings
and cursings ; but my little pets smile on me as
they pass, and I thank the Lord for sending
children to the world, though I have none.

A Destructive Wind near Georgetown,
8. C.—A terrible blow, attended with muph
damage to property and loss of life, took
place above Georgetown, 8. C., on Thurs
day last, between two and three o’clock, P.
M. The wind commenced at the plantation
of Dr. Gaillard and Mr. Reese Ford, on Black
River, where the buildings were somewhat
injured, and took a course from there to the
Pee Dee I^iver, where it passed immediately
over the plantation of Dr. Fishbnrne. At
this point it was terribly severe, demolishing
some thirty small buildings, breaking most
of them entirety up, and injuring several
large structures, and in the demolition of
these houses some three colored persons
were killed outright, and several others
badly if nbt dangerously iojnred. The trees
along the oourse of the" wind presented a
scene of entire destruction, being almost
universally broken or rooted up, and in
several .instances were lifted from the ground
to a great elevation. It U feared that farther
damage to life and property may be heard

that these men have all at onoe become Radi
cals^ We can’t believe tout they h*ve for
gotten the entire past history of their uvea—
that all their former instincts and feelings
ere changed—that they are now prepared to
do what they once considered dishonorable
end mean. In short we can’t believe that
they have become transformed into other be
ings than what their nature or God design
ed them. Believing this, we trust that many
of these men will rail to come up to the re
quirements of the Radical drill-sergeants
and class-leaders. We will believe that these
men will still remember that they are Geor
gians and gent’.emen, and as 6uch refuse to
do anything against the honor or interest of
their beloved State, or derogatory, to their
former good name and-fame. Believing this
we do not for a moment believe that there is
a majority in the Legislature that can, by
any means known to the Radical leaders, be
indneed to forsake the old and time-honored
paths of Democracy and wander off into the
crooked byways of sin and Radicalism. Be
lieving this we believe the Radicals have
made several gross errors in their counting.
Time will, however, prove whether we or
they have judged these men right. We be
lieve they will remain faithfnl to their State
and their early association. They believe
they are sold to the Radicals.—Miliedgeville
Recorder.
The Recorder thinks the Conservatives
haves a small majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature. The editor says:
As to maoy of those put down as Radi
cals, we have our doubts. We cannot be
lieve that they will lend their votes and in
fluence to tbe Radical party, though doubt

The Relief and Homestead questions had
