Macon, Oa., June I*, 18oS. J
I am authorized by Messrs. Octavus Cohen &
Co., to announce that the Line of Steamers
known as the “Black Star Line,” will transport
Delegates to the National Democratic Conven
tion, from Savannah to New York and back,
free of charge. The Steamers sail on Sat
urdays.
E. G. Cabaniss,
Chairman Central Executive Committee.
Gen. Hancock and the Presidency.
Gen. Halpine, of New York, who is, we
believe, at the head of the movement lor a
Soldiers’ and Sailors' Convention, to meet in
New York, in co-operation with the National
Democratic Convention, says : “It is not
true that the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Conven
tion is irrevocably pledged to the promotion
of Gen. Hancock, or General or Mister Any
body else to the Presidency—though it is
true, aud could not well be otherwise, that
by a great majority of the delegates who will
compose that Convention, Gen. Hancock is
regarded with a depth of affection, admira
tion and confidence such as nave not been,
and cannot be, concentrated in a higher de
gree around any other name of the old army,
or around the name of any other citizen
whatever. That he is to day the personal
choice of a vast majority of those who will
jieet in Cooper Institute next Fourth of July,
we make no question; and that, if nomi
nated, he will iu all human likelihood be suc
cessful, and will make one of the noblest
and worthiest Presidents we have had since
the days of Gen. Washington, we believe
with a faith which has the glorious and stain
less record of his whole life for its founda
tion.”
Will He Do It ?—A Western dispatch
says: Prominent Conservatives are urging
the President to issue a proclamation of gen
eral amnesty to take effect on the Fourth ol
July.
The receipts of cotton at Memphis Jor the
cotton year, foot up 252,747 bales. Stock on
hand, 712 bales. Receipts on the 16th instant,
6 bales. This last item indicates that (he cot.
ton of last crop is nearly out of the country
surrounding Memphis.
The Utica Herald says that Mr. Chase s let
ter, declaring himself not a candidate for
office, but averring that it will gratify him if
the Democrats would go for universal suffrage,
reads much like the old gentleman's advice to
hi9 sons : “ Boys, it is very wrong to go fish
ing on Sunday, And it is contrary to my orders;
but yon know your fathei likes fish.”
A New Stamp for Whiskey Barrels.—A
new stamp for whiskey barrels, showing that
the tax has been paid, has been approved by
‘ the Committee on Ways and Means. The
stamp is composed of two pieces of paper, so
that it cannot be taken from the barrel without
mutilation. The series of such stamps is seven
in number, with figures denoting the number
. of gallons, which are easily and conveniently
checked, in connection with coupons.
A trial of Col. Henry M. Ashby, late a
Confederate officer, on a charge of treason,
was concluded in the Circuit Court of Knox
county, Tenn., on the 17th inst. The indict
ment was in the name of the State of Tennes-
Judge Hall charged the jury that the act
of the Legislature of 1861, repealing certain
iiections of the law of the State against trea
son, was a valid act, and the jury brought in a
verdict of not guilty. This is one of the sev
eral attempts made in East Tennessee to con-
vict Confederates of treason to the State, and
all of them have failed.
Tei’Nbw York World, oot deterred by
its ill ancceaa in ita attempt to provide the
Democracy with a Presidential candidate
from the ranka of the Radical faction, has
ventured the experiment ot supplying the
Convention with a ready made platform
from the old furniture of the Republican
party of 1856. The World is very desirous
of making prosolyles to Democracy from
among the more moderate and honest Re
publicans. To accomplish this he proposes
to take a plank or two from tho Fremont
platform, declaring great fundamental prin
ciples of free government which, though
now discarded by ibe Republicans, at tbe
time they were promulgated were accepted
os the common political faith of all parlies.
The editor thinks if the great body of
the white voters who once subscribed to
these principles, could be brought back to
adopt them in good faith, tbe negro suff
rage which has been forced upon the South
would be a matter of very little conse
quence, except as a local evil to tbe States
in which it at present exists. Since the
recent ruse of the World, in which the edi
tor entered into a studied argament to con
vince the Democracy of the countiy that
Judge Chase’s universal suffrage opinions
were orthodox, and consistent with Demo
cratic principles, and that, consequently,
Judge Chase was the moBt suitable candi
date* for President, ar.d since we have seen
the awkward dilemma into which some of
our unsUspectiug cotemporaries were led
by the editor's argament, we are more
cautious in adopting bis views and recom
mendations. We see nothing, however, to
object to in his proposed platform-plank
from the Fremont platform of 1856. The
principles enunciated by it are certainly
sound—and if true in 1856 in their applica
tion to Kansas, they are certainly much
truer now in their application to the wrongs
and outrages oi the Radical Congress against
the Southern States. All that is necessary
to make them parfectly applicable to the
present situation, is tbe substitution of tbe
words Southern States for “Kansas,” and
tbe Radical Congress for “tbe President and
bis advisers.” The resolution which the
World proposes to adopt, is as follows:
'Resolved, That while the Constitution of
tbe United States was ordained and estab
lished by the people in order to form a more
perfect Union, establish justice, insure.do-
mestic tranquility, provide for the common
defence, and secure the blessings of liberty,
and contains ample provisions for tbe pro
tection of life, libeity, and property of every
citizen, the dearest constitutional rights of
the people of Kansas have been fraudulently
and violently taken from them—tbeir terri
tory has been invaded by an armed force—
spurious and pretended legislative, judicial,
and executive officers have beeu bet over
them, by whose usurped authority, sustaioed
by tbe military power of tbe Government,
tyrannical and unconstitutional laws
have been enacted and enforced—tbe
rights of the people to keep and bear
arms have been iofrioged—test oaths
of an extraordinary and entangling natnre
nave been imposed, as a condition of exer-
sising the right of suffrage aud bolding office
—the right of an accused person to a speedy
and public trial by an impartial jury has beeu
denied—the right of the people to be secure
in tbeir persons, houses, papers, and effects
against unreasonable searches and seizures
has been violated—they have been deprived
of life, liberty, and property without due
process of law—that tne freedom of speech
and of the press has been abridged—the
right to choose their representatives has
been made of no effect—murders rob
beries, and arsons have been instigated
and encouraged, and the offenders have been
allowed to go unpunished—that all these
things have been done with the knowledge,
sanction, and procurement of tho present
administration, and tnat for this high crime
against the Constitution, tbe Union and hu
manity, we arraign tbe administration, the
President, his advisers, agents, supporters,
apologists, and accessories, either before or
after tbe facts, before the country and before
the world, and it is our fixed purpose to
bring tbe actual perpetrators of these atro
cious outrages, and their accomplices, to a
sure and condign punishment hereafter.”
’Now,” says the SYorid, “if the kind of
things which were so vigorously denounced
and declared so intolerable, are still be
lieved by tbe Republicans, of whom Chief
Justice Chase is a type, to ba odious and ex
ecrable, we see no reason why they should
not act with tbe Democratic party. We
have no desire to rake up old party quarrels,
and will not stand to dispute about the alle
gations of fact. All we ask is fidelity to the
principles. If it was an unspeakable out
rage for such things to be done against
Territory, how much greater the outrage
when perpetrated against States! But waiv
ing that distinction, and, for the sake of ar
gament, considering the Southern States
merely as Territories over whose internal
affairs Congress has control, the treatment
bestowed uponjthem is still in subversion of
every principle ot tbe Constitution aud all
tbe rights of freemen, according to the plat
form from, which we have quoted. We have
reason to believe that tens of thousands of
Republicans would gladly unite with the
Democratic party in condemning such things
as that platform denounced. And it seems
to us both a more practicable and a more
useful enterprise to reform the white vote
than to abolish negro suffrage.”
It would be gratifying indeed to see Re
publicans uniting with the Democracy in
support of such principles, but if we are to
judge the present by the past, there is little
in the conrse of the Radical leaders to jnstify
the belief that they will stultify themselves
by again professing fidelity to principles
which, with the Constitution and every
principle of right and justice, their, party
have long since openly discarded and con
temned. We look to the people to come
back to tbe principles of tbe Constitution,
but we have no bids of office to make to the
recreant Radical leaders.

Senator Sherman, of Ohio, seems deter
mined at last to place himself on the greenback
record. He played shy for months and months,
for he knew that the Radical bondholders of
the North were a power in the land, and he did
not like to arouse the opposition. But now
that the pressure from tbe West exceeds that
from the North, he is obliged to speak out,
whereupon he declares, without circumlocution
•r evasion, that the bondholder who demands
money more valuable than he gave, or, in other
words, demands gold for bonds, “is a repudi-
ator and an extortioner.” This is strong lan
guage. It not only shows how the Radical cat
is jumping in the West, but the pressure of
public opinion in that section on tbe financial
question.

A Platform Prop
to Cklet Justice
The Washington correspondent of IbeBal-
timore American says:
In conversation with prominent Democrats
yesterday, Chief Justice Chase mentioned
that the following propositions had b—
staled to him by different gentlemen, of
Democratic party us elements of a plotfi
likely to unite all Democrats and others op
posed to the present tendencies of the Radi
cal parly, and observed that be saw to them
nothing to which reasonable objection could

and your correspondent is authorized to give
publicity to the propositions io the language
in which they were stated by the Chief Jus
tice. Universal suffrage is a reoogeized De
mocratic principle, the application of which
is to be left under the Constitution of the
(Jolted States to tbe States themselves. Uni

We fervently hope that tfaef telegraphic re
port is incorrect in its statement that the De
mocrats of the House of Representative#, oh
Friday, voted against the bftl' u relieviag po
litical disabilities” only because the namta of
two Democrats bad beeu stricken from the
bill. Gan it be possible that the Democrats
in Congress are willing to remove the ^abil
ities ol twelve hundred or more such politi
cal characters as Joo Brown. W. W.-HoldeD,
Foster Blodgett and John M. Bolts, simply
because two Democram may also be ineludr
ed in tbe list?- We feel quite sure that the
two Democrats named would not like to pur
chase their “relief at such a price. This
proposition to remove the disabilities of such
former Confederates as have Joined or may
join the Radical party, is part and. parcel of
the Congressional plan of reconstructlofi,
aud necessarily implied the' continued pro
scription of Southern men who will not sell
their principles for office. ■ As such, it should
be resisted by the Democrats in Congress as
uncompromisingly as any other feature of tbe
CougressioDal plan. It is moreover, in effect,
a bribe to mercenary or seifiish or* ambitious
men to become R idicala, and snchahould
ba opposed. We thought.that the Democratic
theory pf special ty individual parJod8 was
that the Executive was tlie authority having
the exclusive right to grant them. At All events,
they can hardly hold that pardons
grauted by Congress, in consideration of a
vote or votes by the pardoned, for the p*ity
in power, come fully up to lb? cpnstitutional
or legal contemplation of this attribnte of
clemency or jastice.—Columbus Enquirer.

during the coming winter in this city, will cause an
merest ed-demand; and. farther, that a diminution in
price will Induce mea/labor* 6m tost tore Mtberto

and that the consequent increase will lessen the cost

that “the Republican party of this State is in
peril—in its honor and in ilsipowex-” oThe Ifo-
publican, with a keen aad relentless scalpel,
exposes the rottenness ot tbe ’ Radical Organi
zation, and bolds up to scorn the leaders there
of, by declaring “there is deep and wide-spread
demoralization among the* 'Massachusetts. .Tte-
publicans as a State party.” These admissions
are significant of the coming political react.on
throughout the conntty. The “demoralization”
of the Republican party is not confined to
