(Jol. B. G. Lqckktt—We see by the last

the Sec6nd Senatorial District of Georgia to
iho Democratic National Convention, ba9 ap

Another telegraph cable will soon be laid
between Havana and Key West. This has
been rendered necessary by the increased
number of messages which may be expected
when the cable is laid between Havana and
Aspinwall. The United States steamer Get
tysburg is now engaged in taking soundings
on the route through the Gulf of Mexico,
and the communication with Panama and
the West coast of South America will speed
ily be opened.
A CaOMWELL ON A SMALL ScALE.—HaV6 W6
at last fouud a Cromwell ? Governor Hol
den, of North Carolina, in a dispatch of the
14th instant, over his own signature, sayt:
“Strike the usurper from his seat.” We
suppose the next wo shall hear of Holden is
that, following the example of his Puritan
prototype, he ha9 taken the broom, gone into
the White House, swept everything before
him, locked the door, and carried home the
keys.
The manufacturers at the North are loud
in their demands for further concessions.
Not satisfied with being relieved from taxa
tion which in itself will decrease the national
revenues about $100,000,000, they are now
urging a revision of the tariff laws which
will make the rates of customs on many ar
ticles absolutely prohibitory. As every bur
den thus removed from the manufacturing
interests is virtually imposed upon the agri
cultural, it will greatly tend towards increas
ing the poverty of the South, and the load
which the West is obliged to bear.
The New York Herald deserves credit
for calling the attention of the North
ern people to the fact that whenever any
Radical firebrtiod, loyal leaguer or negro is
killed or hurt in the South, the Radical press
and orators of the North make a terrible
noise about it ; but that they never have
anything to say concerning murdered South
ern whites and black outrages. The Con
servative press ot the South gives both sides,
but the Radical press, North and South, stu
diously conceal every Radical outrage in
the South, which they cannot, by falsehood,
charge upon the other side.
Gipsies.—The Atlanta Intelligencer says
that there is a band, numbering about forty,
men, women, and children, on the suburbs
of that city. They represent themselves as
comiDg from England. They have some
traits peculiar to the regular Gipsy, but dif
fer in some respects in looks and manners
from them. They have a special fancy for
dog3, and have in their camps every variety
known in America. They also have several
fine horses aDd mules. The women of their
camps pretend great skill in palmistry, and
have visited the city, plying their art in
foretelling the hidden mysteries of the fu
ture.
Their Character.—Let any one look at
the character of the white Radical leaders
at the South who have banded the negrees
together in secret, oath bound, league or
ganizations, says the Norfolk Day Book,
who have, without provocation or decent
pretext, arrayed them in hostility to their
former masters, and who in fact own them
body and soul and control their every
thought, sentiment and motion. The Radi
cal party south of the Potomac—the white
portion of it, at least—is infinitely meaner,
more unprincipled, vindictive and brutal
than the same party at the North. There
its leaders at least are men of talent and of
social influence, and personal respectability.
Here, on the contrary, they are the very
scum and dregs of society. There the hate-
lul and dangerous element of race antago
nism is absent; bere it is the prevailing and
dominant influence. A few meaD, selfish,
unscrupulous white men, having separated
themselves Irorn their race and placed them
selves at the head of the blacks, brandish
their weapous and urge them on to a cru
sade against the white race, just as we have
recently seen a few white men of the same
class leading the savage Indians against the
whites and encouraging them in their brutal
excesses.
HHB i*ut in thb republican
FART V. (
Ai we anticipated, the defeat of impeach-
meht has precipitated, what was inevitable in
the due coarse of time, the disruption of the
Republican'party, from the day that the
Republicans gave the control into the hands
of the Radical leaders, and in their efforts to
perpetuate their power, attempted to direct
the legislation of Congress, regardless of the
restraints of the Constitution, the principles
of right and Justice, in the interests of their
party—from the day they acquiesced in the
conspiracy of Stevens, Butler, Wade and
others, to usurp the powers of the Govern
ment for partizan purposes, the downfall of
the Republican party was only a question of
time.
We read of “honor among thieves, *’ but
that is the romance of villainy not often ex
perienced in reality. If such honor exists it is
not the sort to withstand temptation—knaves
themselves, as exemplified in this case, are
the last to place any reliance upon it It
was no difficult matter for the Republican
party, amid the frenzy and unreasoning pas
sion of the late sectional conflict—brought on
the country by their fanaticism, falsehood
and envy—to get possession of the Govern
ment. With the offices and patronage, the
pillage and plunder of the nation in their
hands, it was a nice thing, with Union and
Constitution oa their lips, to revel in the
spoils and trample Constitution, law a °d
uniou under fiDOt. But they had sowed the
wind and the time was coming when they
must reap the whirlwind. It was, we re
peat, an easy matter under the circum
stances to usurp all power, but there was an
irresistible power impelling them onward to
destruction. Once having set the Constitu
tion at defiance, they could not halt iu their
career of usurpation, outrage and wrong if
they would. Step by step they were forced
to the crowning act of their revolutionary
career, impeachment—impeachment, too, on
the eve of a Presidential nomination aud a
new apportionment of the offices and honors,
the pillage and plunder of the nation. Upon
this rock they have split, and to-day the
Republican party, which during the past
eight disastrous years has lorded it with a
high hand over this distracted country, unre
strained by constitution or laws, or even the
forms of civil government—a law to itself
and a curse to the nation—is demoralized,
disrupted, and rapidly approaching dissolu
tion.
Attempts will doubtless be made at Chi
cago to heal the differences ani appease the
animosities which were developed by the
impeachment trial, but a body so mutually
distrustful, so politically corrupt, so morally
gangreened may be regarded as past all sur
gery.
The forlorn and hopeless condition of the
party is understood and admitted by its
more candid apologists. In illustration of
this fact we give the following extract from
the Boston Traveler, of Saturday last.
Speaking of the defection of leading men of
the party, as disclosed by the vote on im
peachment, the editor says :
Perhaps the mo9t extraordinary change
that ever occurred in this country was that
of Henderson, of Missouri, who was once
held in high honor, but is now looked npon
bv all true Republicans as having proved
false to his trust. Trumbull, of
Illinois, is another of the chaogelinge,
but whose treachery was not so much a sur
prise as Henderson’s. It is not difficult
to account for the treason of these
men, and of Fessenden and others. No one
supposes they have beeu bribed alter ttie
vulgar fashion. Whether they are above
bribery, we do not know; but they are the
victims of as bad a failing as corruption can
be: they are engaged, we believe, in a Pre
sidential game, or intrigue, or conspiracy.
They will vote to acquit President Johnson,
not only to lavor thut great culprit, but also
in the hope to condemn General urant. The
President who favors the rebels they sup
port; the General who conquered the rebels
they oppose. They wish to get up a third
party, with Chief Justice Chase as a candi
date lor the Presidency, not with the hope
of electing that genilemau, but iu the belief
that be would be able to take votes enough
from General Grant to insure the election of
the Democratic candidate tor the Presidency.
JudLe Chase would stand where Mr. Van
Buren stood in 1818: he would not obtain an
electoral vote, but he might take a respecta
ble number of votes at the polls from the
regular Republican candidate, and iu that
way probably give the Presidency to Gen.
Hancock, or to Mr. Pendleton, or to some
other gentleman who should receive the
Democratic nomination.
The Chief Justice has taken the Presi
dential fever ih its severest form, and, as he
looks upon the Presidency as bi9 right, he
detests the man who, without eflort of his
own, stands between him and the enjoy
ment of bis inheritance. When a mau is
thus situated, his object is to “kill off his
successful competitor. Van Buren de
stroyed Cass, and Douglas destroyed every
Democratic leader who stood in his way in
1800. Judge Chase thinks he can dispose ot
General Grant, but the Geueral is a tougher
personage than any mere politician can pre
tend to be, and Northern recusants may find
it as hard a matter to beat him as Southern
rebels ever found that piece of work. All de
pends upon the people.
Very true, the fate the Republican party,
flivided^nd demoralized, as it is admitted to
be, depends not upon unconstitutional acts
of Congress, but upon the people. If we
may judge from the signs ot the times, their
verdict in the coming election will be over
whelmingly in its condemnation.
Another Boll Run.—A Washington let
ter says that on the announcement of the
vote on the eleventh article, the Radical
mass poured out of the Senate galleries and
streaked it for the nearest dram shops to
“drown eorrow,” and utterly refused to be
otherwise comforted. The rejected article,
they said, was a cunningly devised compen
pendium of all the others, and its rejection
was a virtual condemnation ot the whole
scheme. In a very few honrs these “stiffen
ers of back-boDes” were seen wending their
way from every nook and corner of the city
in the direction of railway depots and steam-
boa stations, with carpet bags stuffed with
last year's onions and counterfeit Bologna
sausages, followed by gangs of negroes with
wide-opened mouths, comical contortions of
the body, and taunting Congo witticisms;
for Sambo himself has repudiated the crest
fallen upstarts who esssy to rule the country
by shams and paltroonery. But they are
gone, and that is glory enough for one day *
No Packing will be Allowed.— The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette, in his letter of the 17th, says:
I have received bints that Arkansas will
be admitted this week, so far as the Senate
is concerned, and doubts are entertained if
the President will veto the bill. Some think
he will not sign it, bnt permit it to become
law by expiration of the constitutional ten
days. This course is deprecated by many.
But it is rumored—(let the Invest)
Committee of the Hopse distinctly
stand that I do not protest to know anything
of these matters)—it is rumored, I say, that
the Senate may udmit as many new members
as they please, but not a mother’s son of
them will be sworn in as members of the
Court by Chief Justice Chase. I am encour
aged to believe, farther, that if a new im
peacbment is essayed, and fourteen new
Senators are admitted, as threatened by
Stokes in his Friday night’s speech, to insure
conviction, at least seven old Senators who
voted ta/jponvict Mr. Johnson on the
eleventh (nolo will be foand in opposition

A THIRD political PARTY pro*
POSED.
The following apeciat dispatch which op.
peered la the New York Time, of Saturday
throw, eome light on the Washington ro-
mors which appeared in our telege^phio col
umn on Monday. We giro it for what it is
worth:
“The moat astounding political intrigne
ever known to the politics of this country
is now on foot among prominent politicians
and offioe-holdera in this city elsewhere.
The chief movers in it are Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States,after acquittal,
aod Chief Justice Chase. The objeot isihe^r-
maticm ot a third party, and the detest of
Gen. Gruot if Dominated at Chicago- Oa Tues
day last Ex-Got. Pratt, of Marylaod,tttd that
acquittal would follow, aod that before the
week was oat the country would be aston
ished by an entire change of Cataoet. It
hhs since transpired that thePresident has
agreed to send in a new Cabinet ot Repub
licans, immediately after acquittal, and to
adopt and strictly carry out the recon
struction measures of Congress. Sen
ator Henderson last night stated this
agreement to be a fact, and it is believed
by shrewd judges to be one of the princi
pal elements whereby sufficient strength
and power may be given to Mr. Chase’s
party to make it formidable, and to throw
the Presidential election into the House of
Representatives, if not to elect its candidate
before the people. This movement expects
to be able to defeat General Grant by array
ing itself against the extreme Radical ele
ment in the Republican party, which, it is
believed, will be his mam support. Tbe
proposition that tbe President shall abaodou
his opposition to Congress is Intended to
neutralize the power of that body long
enough to make inroads upon it in favor of
this movement. When the administration
is fully reorganized, its power and patron
age will be used to enhance Mr. Chase’s
prospects- It is not believed he would ac
cept a Democratic nomination, but the fact
that Mr. Voorbees and many other promi
nent Democrats openly advocate hia nomi
nation, is conclusive that a strong Demo
cratic support is at his command. Mr. Chase
is unreserved in his expressions of contempt
for General Grant as a political leader, and
for the impeachment movement, and bewails
what he terms the tendency of the party
to take up with small men, and says the
party has surrendered to General Grant.
His influence has been exerted from the
beginning to defeat tbe impeachment, and
he is believed to have done more than any
other man to secure the acquittal, of Mr.
Johnson. Hence tbe latter is willing, if.ac-
quitted, to reward Mr. Chase by throwing
the influence of the administration in his
favor. The discovery of this intrigue has
startled th*e political metropolis to its very
centre. All eyes are anxiously turned on
the Chicago Convention. The intriguers
hope for the nomination of Wade as Vice
President, which they claim will place Grant
on such an ex reme Radical basis as to afford
additional capital for the new combination.
These are the developments which are iu
everybody’s mouth to-day to tbe exclusion
almost of even the verdict. Those who
choc3e can take these statements cum grano
sails. But they are based on the lacis and
names mentioned above, and have an abso
lute foundation. Oae thing is certain, the
Chief Justice is still a candidate for tbe
Presidency; and one who doubts this de
serves a straight jacket.”

EVENING DISPATCHES.
Tbe Chicago Political Conventions.
We copy the following special telegram
from the Washington Chronicle of Sunday,
which undertakes to foreshadow the pro
gramme of the Republican nominations for
President and Vice-President, in conformity
with that indicated in tbe Wasffington cor
respondence of tbe Cincinnati Commercial,
published some days since:
Chicago, May 16.—The delegates to the
Soldiers aud Sailors’ Convention have nearly
all arrived. Informal caucussing results in
an agreement to recommend tbe nomination
of Grant by tbe Republican Convention by
acclamation, and a partial agreement to nom
inate Wade or Curtin for Vice President. A
committee will be appointed, composed of
ex-soldiers from States represented in the
Senate by recreant Republicans, to prepare
resolutions denouncing those who voted for
acquittal, and declaring the conviction of the
President essential to the preservation of the
principles for which they fought.
Delegate* to the National Republican Con
vention are rapidly arriving. Portion* of

are here. It is the unuuimous opinion that
Grant will be nominated by acclamation as
soon as tbe convention is organized. The
friends of Curtin, Wade and Colfax are early
in tbe field. It is conceded that Gen. Wil
son will receive tbe unanimous vote of
New Eogland and some Southern States, on
the first ballot. Senator Wade will receive
a similar vote from some ot the Middle,

It i« expected New England will aid Colfax,
and the straggle will be narrowed down be

him, tail book on Wade.

Tbe Attempt to Assassinate Prince AI
fred of England,
Late mail dates from Australia give some
interesting particulars of the recent attempt
to assassinate Prince Alfred of England,
from which we take the following:
The affair occurred at a pic-nic given for
the benefit of a Sailors’ Home to be estab
lished at Sydney. The Prince had been io
vited in order to help the charity, and had
kindly gone, drawing the beauty, wealth
and fashion of the place. About half-pa9t
one the prince arrived in a special steamer,
and the people collected at the wharf and
cheered lustily, while the prince smiled and
bowed his thanks. Immediately upon land
ing he was condncted to the lauebeon tent,
aud in company with the governor of the
colony, Lady Belmore aod several others,
partook of some refreshments.
Leaviog the tent, the Prince led Lady
Bolinore to a special pavilion which had
been erected for the use of the elite of ihe
party, aod then sauntered away with Sir
William Maoniog (an old resident of Syd
ney) to eojoy a walk about the grounds. As
he went along be met a gentleman named
Allen, with whom he shook hands and chat
ted for a few momenta, and then banded an
envelope to Sir Willi tm Manning, saying
that it contained a donation to the Sailors’
Home. Scarcely had he finished speaking
when a man, whose name is now known to
be O’Farrell, was observed to run quickly
across to where he was standing and fire
with a revolver at the Frioce, who imme
diately fell forward, crying out, “Ob, my
God, Iamshot; my back is broken.” Sir
William Manning turned hastily round upon
hearing the report of tbe revolver, and seeing
that the man who bad just fired had pointed
his weapon towards him (Sir W. Manning),
he stooped to get out of tbe line of fire, aud
in doing so fell. Tnis time, however, the
revolver snapped, and while O’Fefrell was
again leveling his pistol at (be Prince, a
gentleman Darned Vial, who had witnessed
the whole occurrence, ran up and pointed
his arms to his body, thus changing the ■ di
rection of the weapon, which, however, ex
ploded, the bullet hitting a Mr. Thorno in the
foot. Meanwhile the report of the revolver
had drawn together the picoicers from all
parts of tbe grounds, and a scene of confu
sion and disorder ensued which no words
can depict. O'Ferrell straggled bard to get
free from Vial, swearing fiercely and loudly,
and in tbe tassel the identity of the com-
battants became a little confused. When,
therefore, the bystanders, who had now
discovered that the Prince bad been shot,
rushing in and separated the men, they
were uncertain as to which of them was
the assassin, aud while tbe majority of the
crowd pitched upon the right man, Mr. Vial
was also seized upon and very severely mal
treated. After awhile tbe police succeeded
in getting hold of O’Ferrell, but not before
he had been terribly and brutally beaten.
The people called savagely oat, “Kill biin!”
“Hang him!” “Lynch nim!” and fougbt des
perately with the police to possess them
selves again of his body, tbe poor wretch
getting a dozen kicks and blows for every
yard the police progressed -down to the
wharf, and, bleeding and unoon-cions from
the injaries he had received, was ooov<
to Sidney, and lodged in jail. MeanwJ
the Prince had been raised from the ground
and conveyed to his private tent, very weak
from tbe loss of blood. An examination of
his wound, however, showed it to be a very
serious one, and, indeed, it is strange that
the ballet, entering where it did, aa inch or
two to tbe right ot the spine, about tbe midr
die of the bock, did nqt produce instant
death, or, at any rate, Aeke serious results
than it has done.

[COMMUNICATED.]
To the Citizens of Sevezzsh.
Your serious attention is respectfully called
to the coutents of the following letter:
New York, May 14, 1868.
R. Low den, £*q , Agent Black Star Independ
ent Line :
Dear Sir: I have just executed an exclu
sive contract with the Atlantic Coast Mail
Steamship Company, William R. Garrison and
Murray, Ferris & Co., for through Freight and
Passengers, they alone being authorized to sign
through Bills of Lading and issue Through
Tickets over our Road; therefore, any that
may be given by other parties will not be re
spectcd.
Respectfully, vour obedient servant,
Wm. M. Wadley,
President of the Central Rail Road and Bank
ing Company of Georgia.
It will be seen by the above that the Central
Rail Road and Banking Company, which should,
in return for the benefit conferred by its
charter, use every exertion to foster the
interests of the community, actually strikes
mortal blow at the progress of Savannah, by
couferring extraordinary privileges on three
lines of steamships to the exclusion of others
thereby creating a monopoly which will, event
ually, in the destruction of free competition,
act injuriously on the mercantile interest* of
the city.
It i9 a combination which strikes also at the
welfare of the Atlantic & Gulf Rail Road,
corporation in the success of which the city is
interested to the amount of $1,200,000, by, as
we learn, binding the boats to make no through
connection with that Company beyond a point
selected at the arbitrary will of the Central Rail
Road and Banking Company.
If the New Yorkers owning these three lines
had had the arrangement of a contract for tbe
injury of Savannah, it is doubtful whether they
could have formed any more effectual than the
plan arrived at in this combination between the
Road and r thtei^< Hoes. Perhaps Mr. Wadley
may, by a publication of the terms of the ca
bal, be able to convince the commanity of the
salutary effects of his action on the future pros
perity and commercial progress of the city.
