The Omnibus Admiuls* Bill.
The ten days after which the bill if not
returned by the President with his objec
tions, becomes a law without his assent, ex
pires to-day, and the tact that the Presi
dent did not determine to veto the Arkansas
bill until late on Friday night, encourages
the belief that he will pursue a similar oouree
iu respect to the Omnibus bill, of the final
defeat of which there seems to be some pros
pect. There was much opposition to in
cluding Alabama in the bill, and it is thought
by many that a veto would be sustained.
We will know to-night.
SHAMEFUL.
It will be remembered that several young
gentlemen of Eutaw, Green county, Ala
bama, were sometime since convicted by a
Military Commission for some trivial offense
—chastising a carpet-bagger thief—and sen
tenced to imprisonment for a term of years
at hard labor at the Dry Tortugas. The la
dies of Alabama having, in their behalf, ap
pealed tOgthe clemency of his military mighti
ness, Gen. Meade, that august satrap gra-
-Vioualy pardoned the victims of Radical hate
and injustice, with an admonition and warn
ing to them and rebs in general against re
Benting loil insult or injury in future. The
prisoners having arrived at Galveston, Texas,
on ihsir way home, the following dispatch
from them to their friends in Mobile tells its
own disgraceful story:
Galveston, Texas, June 17, 1868.
To Col. Jas. Craivford,
or, Kirksey and Carpenter;
Released without transportation. Pas
sage and assistance required in New Orleans.
Leave here to-mprrow*
Eutaw Prisoners.
Comment upon the meanness of this pro
ceeding, says the Register, is unnecessary, at
least, it can hardly be made with good tem
per.
We are pleased to see by the Mobile pa
pers that arrangements are making in that
city to give the returning prisoners a “warm
and cordial” public reception.
The Macon & Brunswick Hailraod.
The Bruns wick Banner of the 20th inst., an
nounces that full and complete a rrangements
have been made for the early completion of
the above mentioned road. “Northern capi
talists,” says the Banner, “have at last ven
tured to give their money and city property
to aid in the immediate construction of one
of the most important railways South of the
Potomac. Whether the line of crossing will
be changed from No. 7 to No. 5 on the A. &
G. R. has not been fully determined, it is
however believed that No. 5 will be the
point."
A meeting of the city Council was held on
the 16ih by which a proposition was submit
ted to the citizens of Brunswick to grant to
the Company the same privileges and immu.
nities by the No. 5 Savannah, Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad route that were extended to
them upon the condition that the road should
goby No. 7; the city being released from
her conditional subscription of three hun
dred thousand dollars.
The vote being taken upon this proposition
it wa9 unanimously approved by the citizens;
there being 122 votes for and 9 against it.
The editor of the Banner expresses bis
confidence in the speedy completion of the
road.
Greeley expresses a hope that Congress
will treat the dignified and able protest of the
white population of Lousiana against the en
forcement of negro supremacy, with contumely
and contempt; and yet this hoary-headed old
sinner has given his lifetime labor to vindica
ting the right of petition, when in behalf of
the negro. If the national ear ia to be closed
to us, and the protecting arm withdrawn, the
situation will be suggestive of other alterna
tives, which we shudder to contemplate.—

A great flood occurred in portions of Ohio
on the night of the 17th instant, and a great
destruction of property was sustained at the
town of Hamilton. The rains occurring on
the tributaries of that river greatly overflow
ed its banks and did serious damage to the
corn crops on its bottom lands. Great dam
age was also done to the street) of Cincin
nati and Covington.
Father Lambert Young, the Catholic
priest who has been confined in the Lonis-
ville, (Ky.) jail for decliniog to testify in
the Frankfort lynebiog case before the
United States Court, was released on Mon
day by Judge Ballad on bond. Father
Young was dangerously attacked with ery
sipelas about three years ago, and his con
finement in jail caused the disease to break
out again. The bond was fixed at $1,000
for t9n days, or snch time as he may have
fully recovered.
The Ku-Klcx Klan and the Blacks.
A party of sixty-five fugitives from Marshall
county arrived in Nashville, Tennessee, last
Saturday. Tney state that the Ku-Klux are
again committing outragea and that several
negroes had been cruelly whipped, where
upon a fight between whites and black en
sued. A magistrate at Chapel Hill offered
to protect them, bat the whites paid no at
tention to him and fired into them. They
fled to the timber and started for Nashville^
bat Were overtaken near Murfreesboro* and
lour of their number were taken back, and
it it believed that they were murdered.

TRB SOUTH.
The following article from the pen of that
sterling Democrat and able writer, John For
syth, editor of the Mobile Register, expresses
so folly and forcibly our own opinions
that we adopt and endorse it, in the be
lief that the sentiments of the writer
will receive the cordial approval of all true
Conservative men and Democrats, North and
South, who look hopefully for the mainte
nance of constitutional government through
the triumph of sound Democratic principles
in the approaching Presidential election.
The editor says:
Although the ways of the wicked are
crooked, and ‘there is many a slip between
the cup and the lip,’ it is prudent to assume
that the omnibus bill will take the form of
law, and this and several other States of the
South will soon be going through the throes
of governmental change. It is another and,
let us hope, the last of our peace trials. It
becomes a matter of the gravest consequence
to determine what course it is wise and pro
per that the people of this and other States
should pursue while this infamous and forced
overthrow of their political rights is going on.
We scout the pretense of the New York
World that what is done, although wroog-
fally done, must be submitted to, and that as
the hate and ambition of a Radical Congress
have forced the principle of negro domination
into our Stale systems, there is no power
consistent with our own doctrine of Con
gressional non-intervention, to get rid of it.
If that is the doctrine of the Democratic
party (which, thank God! it is not), we
have nothing practically to choose between
a Radical and a Democratic administration.
Every true Democrat holds that the entire
batch of congressional legislation on the
subject of Southern reconstruction is un
constitutional, and void in the letter and
spirit—is, indeed, nothing more nor less
than an infliction of tyranny by force of
arms. This, iudeed, with the question of
black supremacy and black suffrage, which
lie at the bottom of it, constitutes the great
distinctive issue between black Radicalism
and white Democracy in the pending con
test. If the Democratic Convention fails
in its platform to mark the distinction, and
emphatically to throw down the glove
and draw the sword against this abom
inable “disloyalty” to the constitution
and the rights of the States, and free
white man's self-government, it will throw
the party into a battle emasculated
and shorn of its best fighting plume.
It will have surrendered its strongest and
most vital principle, and the Presidential
election will degenerate into a mere struggle
for the emoluments of power and place. We do
not for a moment believe that the Democratic
masses will be so misrepresented in that Con
vention as to bring about any such beggarly
result as this. The Radical programme of
reconstruction mU9t be fought to the knife
the power of that party must be overthrown,
and with it all of the measures of abomina
ble tyranny and treason to liberty which has
made it infamous and a stench in the nos
toils of the people. This is the spirit of the
masses of the American millions. And we
hold it fortunate that the men who would
play Delilah to the Democratic Samson, cut
off its locks of strength and deliver it to its
enemies, have betrayed their purposes be
fore the Convention met, aud did not wait to
spring them upon that body unprepared for
the monstrous proposition. The public
voice has had time to be heard on it, and
delegates will go to their work with its com
mand ringing in their ears, and that com
mand will be to fight this great battle boldly
on truth and principle, and not go into the
field with its flag lowered and the enemy's
lending dogma inscribed upon it. »
“In view of what is before us in the imme
diate future of the South, it is a matter of
felicitation that these Slates will be so large
ly and ably represented in the New York
Convention. We shall need the counsel of
our Northern friends as to what our course
here should be in dealing with the threat
ened revolution in our State Governments.
Not only will we need their advice, looking
to the common good, but their pledges to
stand by us in the policy marked out. The
Convention is well-timed for the considera
tion and discussion of this matter, so vital to
the South, ahd yet so important to the North,
for seventy electoral votes are involved in it.
Another question is, whether the President
should not be urged by the Convention to
proclaim a general amnesty, open the prison
doors to the few remaining captive victims
of the war, and thus show that whatever
Radical revenge may feel, in the opinion of
the Democratic party, the war is really over,
and that no ends but those of fraternity,
peace, mutual forgiveness and constitutional
re-union are worthy of the thoughts and as
pirations of the honest and patriotic people
of a Christian land.
•To our mind nothing is plainer^han that
the pending contest, of all we have ever ex
perienced, is pre-eminently the one that is
safest fought on bold, high and outspoken
principle. Not only is it not necessary, but
it is dangerous to resort to subterfuge or cow
ardly dedge in any shape. The Democracy

BEDFORD.
The Atlanta correspondent of tjie Macon
Messenger gives that paper some interesting
particulars of the struggle now going on
among loil scalawags and carpet-baggers at
the new capital for offices of the State.
Among other strifes he speakes of the Inten
sity with which the contest goes on wt the
seat now filled by that learned and able
Judge of the Eastern Circuit, whose integ
rity and independence has rendered his re
moval a fixed fact. This contest, saya> the
writer, derives its interest principally from
its symbolical character. It is a square
out fight between colors. Bedford claims to
be a white man, ’ though the color of his
ekia is tbe oaly evidence I Lave ever
heard of hU producing to sustain
the assumption. On the other hand,
his contestant, Bradley, not only con
fesses to the soft impeachment of
being a negro, but pots his claim to the
benen upon the merit of his birth and color.
It is hardly necessary for me to ley that Bed
ford’s stupidity and want of all character is
fnllv equal to that of any judicial aspirant.
Uron the score of utter incapacity, his re
cord will bear a lavuracle comparison with
that of any man of his party—and you know
that is saying a great deal. Bradley, how
ever, has the judicial record of A is character,
which is higher authority than the mere ruf
mors and reports upon which Mr. Bedford
relies to sustain his superiority over Mr.
Bradley, in all that goes to make up the
complete character of an acceptable Georgia
BadicaL Ia this respect, in the eyes of im
partial outsiders, the two gentlemen have not
much advantage the one over the other.
Both pass muster, and no questions
asked. Bradley pnts his case, however, opon
the peculiar merit of being ihe only one of
his color who is seeking a judicial appoint
ment. A lawyer by profession, and a patron
of lawyers by practice, he claims to be en
titled lo recognition, and hesitates not to 1
declare that, to refuse him the appointment
on the ground of his color, would be a dis
graceful abandonment of the great doctrine
ot equality preached by the white Kadicals.
When suggested to him that tbe Governor
might put the selection of Mr. Bedford upon
the ground of his superior qualifications as
a lawyer. Bradley indignantly replies that
he had more experience in the defense of
his own cases than Bedford ever had iu. bis
entire practice. Iu a word, he would regard
his rejection as a deliberate endorsement by
Governor Bullock of the great wrong done
him by Judge Fleming, who sent him to the
kitchen when he asked to be admitted t
the bar.

Another Outrage.
The people ot the North will probably
never know, as they cannot fatly realize, all
the frightful and inhuman tortures inflicted
upon the South at the hands of military
satraps. Our attention has been called to a
case quite as flagrant as that of the Coiam
bus prisoners.
It seems that about six weeks ago a t ed-
eral boldier was killed at Warrenton, in this
State. Ho clue, so far as we can ascertain,
bus yet been afforded to detect the perpetra
tor of this Violence. Bot the mflitary au
thorities—those tine gentlemen sent here to
preserve order and protect the innocent—
assumed full knowledge of the case, and.
without cognizance of law aud without the
feeble show of affidavits from any party or
parties whatsoever, arrested » peaceful and
inoffensive citizen of Warrenten by the name
of Cody. This gentleman was hustled off to
Milledgeville, with manacles on bis ankleB
and wrists. While thns chained and in a
dungeon, he was brutally attacked by four or
five soldiers, who had been imprisoned in
tbe same apartment for trivial misdemeanors.
These soldiers set upon him because they
deemed him to be the slayer of one of their
comrades. As their superiors did not give
the unfortunate man a cheoce lo exculpate
himself, neither did these base underlings
allow him the charity of a doubt. One of
them kicked him in the mouth, leaving a
hideous gash upon his lip, and Mr. Cody
was finally saved from fatal consequences
through tne rescueofa aergeant of the guard.
A military commission was ihen desig
nated for his trial at Milledgeville, and one
d-v's notice given of the time to Mr. Cody’s
counaeL Upon repairing to Milledgeville,
the counsel was informed that tbe order for
trial had been revoked and Atlanta anbsti-
tuted for Milledgeville.
Toe trial took place one hundred abd
twenty miles from tbe residence of the pris
oner and occupied twenty-one daya. durrog
which time Mr. Cody was marched from hia
cell to the court, chained like a felon at his
ankles and wrists.
Now mark the sequel. After an abrupt
seizure; maltreatment, when manacled, by
Federal soldiers; transportation and impris
onment remote irom his residence; a tediouB
trial and the degrading handcuffs of a con
demned criminal—he was allowed to go
homeward folly acquitted of the charge
against him. . . ,,
There is not an innocent man in Georgia
who is not liable to a similar fate. Will the
people of the North abet and encourage tbe
swtul humiliation ot the Bouth ? If so, they
may well shudder for their own fate, when
tyranny has exhausted itself upon us and
seeks its victims among tbemselvea.
We tiust that Mr. Cody or bis counsel will
publish a detailed account of this dark busi
ness, and we hope, for the take of humanity, war.
that the picture may be less horrible than
oar informant warrants ua to believe.—da.

Incendiarism and Loss by Fire.—On Mon
day afternoon about lour o’clock, tbe flames
suddenly burst from the roof and entire inte
rior of the Randolph Male Academy, and loug
before the arrival of any assistance the exten
sive building was a mass of ruins.
Mr. McDowell, the Principal of the Academy
had only a few minutes previously concluded
the exercises of the day and closed tbe doors.
No fire had been upon the premises for months.
The Academy was owned jointly by A. ,A.
Gamble, Esq., and H. M. Jones; and their
insurance policy had but recently expired. The
perpetrators of the deed have not yet beeq
discovered.

The Atlanta Pbisohebs.—We clip the
following telegram from the Louisville
Courier;
Washington, Jane 17.—The petition of
Dr. Cbipley, of Lexington, reciting the facte
in the case of hie boh and others in prison
at Atlanta, Ga., together with tbe outrages
to which they have been subjected, was pre
sented to the Senate to-day. Dr. C. re
ceived dispatches yesterday stating that
as soon as it waa known on Monday morn
ing that tbe friends of the accused were in
voking relief, tbe military nnthorities forth
with sent them back to tbe dungeon,- where
they now are. Tbe atrocity of tbia cate is
withont parallel in the history of outrages
in tbia country. The facia were also laid
before the President, who expressed hla in
dignation, and gave assurance of relief.
A Nioao Attchpts to Violate the Pee-
lon or a Ladt—He is Arrested.—On Thura-
day afternoon laat, aa Mias Kailly, who lives
.It miles from Macon, on the ColumbuB road,
was walking out near her house, shG was sud
denly seized by a burly black scoundrel, who
choked her down and attempted to violate her
person. His name is Bob Bloom, and he used
to belong to CoL Thurston K. Bloom. Miss
Railly resisted him with all her force, and after
a long struggle the wretch proponed that if she
would go back to the house and bring him $600
be would let her off.
She readily agreed to this and ran to the
house. It fortunately happened that Mr. Jack
Kimbrough was lying sick there, to whom Mias
R. at once told what had happened. Mr. K.
got np and tried to arrest the negro, but was
too feeble to catch him.
Information was sent to the police of the
city, and they kept a look out for him. About
two o’clock yesterday morning officers Nance
and Pullen came across him lying asleep in
front of Mr. Trawick’s, on Cotton Avenue.
They arrested and put him in the guard-house.
Mist Railly is a highly respectable young
lady, has money, and the negro, who lives on
an adjoining place, knew this. It seems to have
been a regularly planned piece of fiendishness
on the part of the black demon.—Maces Mes
senger.

Judge Turner's, and occupied by females, was
deliberately fired, and the kitchen also at the
same time. Turpentine had been plentiful!}
sprinkled over the wood work when the torch
was applied ; and had not the inmates been
speedily aroused by the smoke, their, destruc
tion must have been swift and sure. As it was,
by great effort the flames were subdued before
any material damage had been done.—Cnd.bert
Appeal, 19M.
The word “Grant,” is defined by Web
tier, as follows:
GaAJJT—tHorm, granter, to promise or
agree. Perhaps « « “ot Radioai, for in
some ancient charters it is written Grot.)
“To admit aa true wbat is not proved ; to
allow ; to yield; to concede.” '
Considering tbe General’s adaptability for
swallowing alt kinds of principles, whether
true or false, his character could not be more
accurately desoribed. A« tor “the » that, is
not Radical,’’ i‘ is merely a memento of.hie
democratic days; merely ornamental. The
right name for the right man.—Mobile Jn-
bune. 1
Released os Bend.—The telegraph yes*
terday brought the gratifying iatolligenee
that Messrs. CUff Grimes and Robert Danie
had jnet been released from imprisonment at
Atlanta on bond. They will be in Colampni i
to-day. Mr. D. baa been confined in ceils to
Fort Pulaski and Atlanta for over twi
months, lor no cause. He la now release!.
on bond, and no cause given. Mr. Grimn
has been imprisoned in Atlanta about a
month, part of the time in a cell. He, too,
was arrested for no cause, and turned loose
for the same thing. Snch ia military justice
and a few of the blessings conferred hr “the
best government the world ever eaw. It it
is the beet, heaven help the weratl.
These releaaes gives as cause to hope that
liberty may soon be granted to the other
prisoners.—Columbus Sun.
