Editors News and Herald:
Gents ; Our corn crop is very seriously in-
jured by drought, but good recont rains have
made cotton very promising. There is not,
however, as much planted as there was last
year, but it is much better cultivated.
There are indications of the appearance of
the caterpillar in this section.
The oat crop has been harvested and it is
very good.
Hogs, sheep and other cattle are rapidly dit"
appearing belore the enfranchised.
Respectfully, V. & G.
Commenting on the passage of the Om-
nabus Admission bill by Congress the Bos
ton Post congratulates tbe Southern States
so loug kept out of tbe Uuion by tbe U&d-
acal Union Savors, on their return to the
family of States even with the humiliations
and restrictions that have been wrongfully im
posed upon them by a corrupt partizan Con
gress. The editor says—“But let the States
come back even thus. Once in, they re-
Bume.lull control of their local affairs, suf
frage included. If they come in with a
carpet-bagged representation, they will not
be long in administering a due corrective
to that humbug. Though they may be re
stricted by a pledge not to alter tbe qualifi
cations of voters, nobody will presume to
say that Congress can thrust any of them
out again because they choose to exercise
the right of local independence, and estab
lish qualifications for suffrage to suit them
selves. If the States of the North may con
tinue to do it, so may those of the South,
and there is no power to hinder.
The Constitution.—We have received the
first number of this paper, which has been
commenced at Atlanta, under the editorial
control of Col. Carey W. Styles, well known
throughout Georgia and the South as a sound
Democrat and an able writer. The Consti
tution is a handsome sheet, and its editorial
columns indicate industry, tact and talent,
which cannot fail to command success. Tbe
Constitution, under its able and experienced
editor, will bear a conspicuous part in the
coming Presidential campaign, and will do
yeoman's service in support of sound Demo
cratic principles. Iu the course of his
graceful salutatory the editor says: >
We have departed from the fsith of out
fathers, and wandered far from the ark of
safety. We must return. It ia easier to go
back to the Constitution than to go forward
on tbe sea of anarchy, without chart or-com-
pass. There will be no repoae for the nation,
no peace, no prosperity, till we end the revo
lution by re-establisbing constitutional
guarantees and constitutional liberty in all
tbe States of tbe Uoion. For this mission
tbe National Democratic party is ordained*
and as one of its sentinels on tne outer walls,
our duties will be faithfully, honestly, fear
lessly performed.

The South and the West.—The Mobile
Tribune says: “ Presently the vast empire of
the West, and ail the vast empire which is
growing on the Pacific, will speak to us in
words of comfort, and we and they will go on
to control this country, and New England will
have no voice in it, except whining. Any man
in a reasonable degree of health will live long
enough to find out this fact.”
Partis a* Legislation.-“A Washington let
ter says the passing of a bill to legalize the
election frauds in that city, is without a par
allel in legislation. The Senate has reversed
a practice as old as the common law, by going
behind a prima facie return, in the shape of
a certificate of election, and refusing the
usual contest, to say nothing of the retrospec
tive and ex poet facto character of such an
act
The New York Times sees nothing im
proper in Mr. Chad's content to receive
Dsmocratic votes. •‘If,” says the Timet,
“Mr. Chase proposed for the take of office
to abandon hit own principles and adopt
tbote of tbe Democratic party, the case
would be different. But he propoaet nothing
of the sort. On the contrary, every fioggas-
tion that he may be nominated, no matter
from what quarter it comet, implies and as
sumes that he ia to be nominated on hie own
platform; that bit election by the Demo
cratic party will be a triumph of the political
principles he has always supported, and that
his nomination by that party simply indi
cates that the time baa come whep they can
contest those principles na longer. In tbit
point of view we do not see bow Mr. Chase's
willingness to accept tnch a nomination can
imply any imputation upon either bia per
sonal character or his political integrity.!”
Whoever it nominated for the Presidency by
the Democratic Convention, we feel pretty
sore will be nominated upon a Democratic
platform, promise support of Democratic
principles, or he will not receive the Demo
cratic vote of the country.—Boston Ajt.
by which it maintained that negro-suffrage
having been forced upon tbe South under
the reconstruction laws of Congress there
was no constitutional power in the Govern
ment to undo what had been unconstitu
tionally don* It is generally believed that
the editor*#wovdl nonintervention theory was
put forth at this time for tbe purpose of re
conciling the Democracy to the acceptance of
Judge Chase, whose universal suffrage opin
ions are well known and boldly avowed, as
the nominee ot tbe party at the approach
ing Convention. As the World has deemed
it prudent, after **a parley,” to abandon
the idea of Judge Chase’s nomination as the
Democratic candidate for President, may we
not hope that it will cease to urge acquies
cence in his great political heresy, the con
summation of which, according to the
World, he “regards with the joy which at
tends a long cherished hope,” and which the
Democratic parly,has “strenuously resisted
and indignantly denounced.”
Speaking Of Judge Chase, in its issue of
Monday last, the World says: “It Is credit
able to the manliness and integrity ot this
distinguished statesman that tbe recent pro
posal of some precipitate Democrats and sen-
eationai journals to nominate him tor the
Presidency, has not caused him to swerve
from the principles he has always held, nor
to practice the least concealment respecting
tbe persistent firmness with which he ad
heres to them. There baa never been any
likelihood that ha would receive the Demo
cratio nomination ; but the political gossip
on that subject rendered it proper that he
should make it evident to all the world that
his impartial bearing during tbe impeach
meat trial was not the artifice of a dema
gogue, who, having been disappointed of a
nomination by his own party, stood ready to
receive tbe tender of one from his political
opponents. In the impeachment trial, he did
his duty with such dignity, fairness, and in
dependence, as merit recognition by the
Democratic party, and the constancy and
publicity with which he maintains his politi
cal opinions should be accepted by Republi
cans as a proof that tbe Chief Justice was in-
finenced by no unworthy motives.
“With the opinions which Mr. Chase con
tinues to hold, he is by far too sagacious and
clear-sighted a politician to anppose that the
Democratic party can have any serious
thought of making him its candidate for
President. While the party ia compelled lo
recognize the existence of many unwelcome
facts which it cannot reverse, it has not
changed, and cannot change its principles.
The fact that the negroes will vote in the
coming Presidential election is e feet which
the Democratic party recognizes only on
compulsion, while Chief Justice Chase re
gards it with more than complacency, with
more than satisfaction, with the joy which
attends tbe fulfilment of a long-cherished
hope- Wbat be has so ardently desired, the
Democratic party has strenuously resisted
and indignantly denounced. Tbe Demo
cratic party may be unable to revoke wbat
has been done; bat they certainly are not
going to endorse it, as they would virtually
do by nominating a man who makes it the
corner-stone of his political creed. There is
great difference between submitting to the
inevitable from sheer inability to withstand
it, and plaeing oureelves under the guidance
of a man who has aided in bringing the evil
upon us. We should be glad to see Chief
Justice Chase follow Mr. Blair and Senator
Doolittle into the Democratic party; but aa
he regards negro suffrage as a blessing in
stead of an atrocioua though perhaps irre
trievable blunder, we do not see how he and
the Democratic parly can have any bond of
fellowship. We did not object to a parley;
bat it was certain from the beginning that
the mountain would not go to Mahomet, and
it appears that Mahomet will not come to
the mountain; which, steadfast as the Chief
Justice is, would have been mnch the easier
miracle.”
THE SEW YORK CUSVESTIOS.
Immense Uatherlng of the Damacracy ot
she Gauntry.
There is now every indication that the at
tendance upon tbe Convention will be the
largest ever known at a gathering of the
kind in the country. Preparations are being
made by the Democracy in almost every
State to come here In large numbers. Rooms
have been engaged in nearly every hotel io
tbe city, commencing with those near the
lower end ot Broadway and extending to the
Central Park. The available space in the
hotels has nearly all been token, and there
are a number of instance, where private
boosea have been hired for the accommoda
tion of outside delegations. A number of
the residents of the city are making arrange
ments lo throw their doors open to their
Democratic friends from abroad. This, with
the extensive hotel accommodations will be
■efficient to provide for all who may come.
One of the most imposing demonstrations
of the week of the Convention will be the
gathering of the aoldiers and sailors. Un
like the assemblage at Chicago, it will not be
made np of quartermasters, sutlers and camp
followers, bat of the fighting men of the
army, from tbe generals down to tbe private
aoldier. From present indications there
will be fully twenty thousand of these men
here, and they are coming not to urge the
claime of any particular candidate, bat to
prove to tbe world that the soldiers do not
sustain General Grant, since be has thrown
himself into the bands of tbe revolutionists,
and that tbe gathering at Chicago, under the
name of the aoldiers. did not represent the
fighting men of tbe army. Tbe Cooper Io-
etiiute has already been chartered to hold
their meetings in, and a house io University
Place has been hired for the headquarters of
tfie managers Tbe latter place will be taken
possession of early next week, and occupied
until after the Convention adjonrns.
Not one-tenth part of those who will come
to the Convention widbesble to gain ad
mittance to Tammany Ball daring tbe tea-
aiona of tbe Convention, notwithstanding fall
six thousand people can be accommodated
in the hail. This being the case, one of tbe
important questions now is, how shail tbe
admittance be regulated so as to cause the
least dissatisfaction. Several plans of issuing
tickets have been proposed. Tbe most feasi
ble, and the plan wnich will, undoubtedly,
give the beat satiafaction lo all concerned
will be tb first set apart the space reqniret
for tbe delegates, and next that of tbe repre
sentatives of the press When this is done,
ascertain how many more can be accommo
dated and issue tickets accordingly, these
tickets to be divided//ro rata among the en
tire number of delegates. If the hall will
accommodate fonr thousand besides the dele
gates and tbe representatives of the press,
then each delegate will have some tan tickets
to admit bis Iriends from his district. Thlp
plan trittigiws aqa* 1 chajwe .to the outsiders
from every State, and no one section wifi
have the advantage over aoy other.

dition of any political pr civil right, privil

Art VII., See. 4.)
Arkansas.—“All persons before register

following oath: ‘I , do solemnly aweai
(or affirm) * * * * * that I accept the
civil and political equality of all men, and
agree not to attempt lo deprive any person

Mississippi.—‘"Tbe Legislature shall pro*

tion ; ‘I, , do ademnly swear (or
affirm), in tbe presence of Almighty God,
***** that I admit the political and
oivil equality of all men. So help me God.' ”
(Bogus Const., Art. YIL, Sec. 3.)
Virginia.—“All persons, before entering
upon tbe discharge of any functions as offi
cers of this Stale, must take and subscribe
the following oath or affirmation : *1, ,
do solemnly swear (or affirm) * * * * *
that I recognize and accept the civil and po
litical equality of all men before the law,
Ac., Ac, Ac. So help me God.’”—(Bogus
Const., Art. III., Sec. 6 )
Louisiana.—“Members of the General As
sembly, and all other officers before they
enter upon the duties of their offices, shall
take the following oath or affirmation: 'I
(A B), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I
accept the civil and political equality of all
men, and agree not to attempt to deprive
any person, or persons, on account of race,
color, or previous condition, of any political
or civil right, privileges, or immunity enjoy
ed by any other class of men, Ac. So help
me God.’”—(Bogus Const., Title VL, Art.
100)
With this much as to this express condi
tion precedent to citizenship, it may be said
that an essentially similar qualification is to
be found in tbe bogus constitutions of Flor
rida, North Caroliua, South Carolina, and
Georgia. All are based on this idea of negro
equality, and an oath to support them is
made a condition more or less of citizenship
under them, the Florida instrument having
this most, and the Georgia one least, clearly
expressed.
But in all of them it is to be found, and
we therefore repeat that no Northern man,
uot in favor of negro equality, can move to
any of these Southern States, as reconstructed
by Congress, without disfranchising himself.
As to the number thus disfranchised we are
enabled to give an approximate idea, taking
first tbe Democratic vote as cast io the rep
resented Stales at tbe latest elections held
therein, and tbeu adding to that the vote
against negro suffrage where the issue was
made direct thus:

Election of United hUiu Heaator ia
Florida.
Tallahassee, Fla., June 18, 1868.—The
Legislature to-day elected T. W. Osborne
United States Senator for four years. The vote
stood fifty-one to eighteen. Osborne and
Welch, who was elected yesterday, are both
Ultra Radicals. The question of the election of
Senator for six years from the fourth of
March next, will be taken up to-morrow. All
these proceedings are in advance of the action
of Congress, and without the sanction of Gen.
Meade.
We have pnt in italics the names of those
States where the vote given is that of tbe ma
jority, and it thus appears that these bogus
Southern constitutions actually debar from
citizenship under them a majority of tbe peo
ple in thirteen of the twenty-seven repre
sented States aod large minorities ia the
others, or, in exact numbers, 2.073,102 voters,
more than a majority of the whole Presiden
tial vote at tbe next election. Aud yet this
rogue Congress approves them, and turns to
the North, thus disfranchised, with a
smirk, to say “We have settled the South
now and you m#jr move there “if you will
and live io peace.” Ont upon It. If it knew
of this disfranchisement, why did it approve
these instruments, and if it did not koow,
what business had it to approve Constitu
tions it did not understand.
On one thing let ns fix our eyes. Bills to
approve seven of these nine atrocities have
gone to the President. It is understood he
will veto them. Then let ns see if this infa
mous Congress dare9, by overriding the veto
to debar a majority of tbe white men from
making their homes in tbe South, should
they so choose.—N. Y World.
Views of Hon. B. H. Hill on tbe Proper
Attitude of tbe Georgia Delegation in
tbe national Convention.
Ou Monday afternoon last, in a conversation
with us, Ron. B. H. Hill, whose opinions are
entitled to consideration by his many admirers,
stated that, in bis judgment, the Southern dele
gations should have but little tO'do with deter
mining the nominee or the platform of the
Democratic party in the approaching Conven
tion ; that the platform should be a short and
simple one ; if it said anything at all on the
suffrage question, it should simply declare that
the settlement of that question belonged to the
States; that the Southern delegates should
cheerfully co-operate with the Northern dele
gates in whatever their judgment deemed pro
per to be done; that harmony should aud
would prevail, and whoever should be cousid
ered by the North as the most available find
sure candidate (whether Judge Chase or any
other person) to defeat tbe schemes of the
Radical party, should have the cordial support
of our delegates and people.—Macon Tele

Poisoned at a Lovx-F*a8T.—The Chicago

of a whole church congregation at that place on
Sunday last. The church was celebrating a
lo7e-feast. The meat had been prepared in a
copper kettle, and allowed to remain in it all
day, till the liquid had become oxydized. All
who partook of it were poisoned, and all euf-
fered tbe moat excruciating pain. Medical as
sistance was at once summoned, but it was fi
long time before the entire number (about 180)
could be attended to. About twenty of the
number were regarded as in a dangerous con

that all will recover.

HbttVHiU HIM RIGHT.
A White Fellow Courts a Mulatto Girl
and Gets hit Jaw-bone Broke a.
A great deal of gossip was oocaslonod above
Gopdiettesviile r baturday, by an affair in
which a man named John Smith and a mu
latto girl named Charlotte Utley played tbe
leading parts. While Charlotte was in the
field of ber employer, Mr. Utley, hoeing
corn, Bmith approached that gentleman and
asked if he eoald wed that girl, as he bad
been enamored of her for some time past.
Mr. Utley replied that he had no objection if
the girl was willing^ ^
Smith at once went to the field, approach
ed the dnsky object of his affectious in a
seductive sort of way, related to her the
conversation he had just bad with Mr.
UHey, and told her that as that gen
tleman had given bis consent, she would be
compelled to marry him. Charlotte very in
dignantly resented this rather unique man
ner of wooing, aitd told him that neither
he nor aoy other “white trash” could
ever be her husband. In the midst of
his expostulations, Smith was knocked
senseless to the ground by Charlotte's hoe, in
which condition he was taken from the field.
Upon examination it was discovered that
Charlotte had broken his jaw-bone, and that
a considerable tuna would elapse before bis
recovery.
It is stated ttut Smith is a mao of no
character, i9 weak in tbe upper story, aod
that he haa kept the company of oegres al

The Savannah Gas Light Company, wishing to sup
ply Gaa to its patron? ou as cheap terms as may be
conalatent with a fair return for the capital and labor
applied in ita manufacture, and believing that the
active basineaa which may be reasou&oly expected
daring tbe coming winter in this city, wi.l cause an
increased demand; and further, that a diminution in
price will induce many to barn Gas that have hitherto
had recourse to other means of illumination, which
*re more dangerous aud le-s cleanly and convenient
and that the consequent increase will lessen the cost
of ■manufacture, and thus justify the Company in
making a reduction in price.
Therefore, It haa beeb determined that from and
after the FIRST oF NOVEMBER next, consumers
will be supplied at tne rate of
FIVE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER THOU
SAND CUBIC FEET,
