us accounts of thamost enehasiastio deinen-
u-raiiona of approval of the Democratic
nominations for President and Vice-Presi
dent In every city, town and connty
throughout the country ratification meetings
are being held, at which the Demacrats and
Conservatives, with one voice, unite in ap

earnestness, confidence and zeal which gives
assurance of success.

Georgia Bonus Legislature.—In the
Senate on Wednesday Mr. Candler reported
a resolution requesting the Provisional Gov
ernor to transmit to the Senate all documents
in his possession in reference to members
holding tbeir seats under the fourteenth
amendment at once, which after some dis
cussion was finally adopted, after which the
Senate adjourned to Friday. Until the views
of their masters at Washington on the sub
ject of purging tbeir angust body are ascer
tained, it is not probable that they will ven
ture npon any action. The telegraph will
inform ns of to-day’s proceedings.
Gbant Anxious to be a Dictator.—A
prominent officer of the Union army, while
driving with a friend a few days since, took
occasion to eulogize some of the character
istics of Grant, declaring that the American
people did not understand him. “I saw,
said this officer, “a great deal of him daring
the war, and know all his strong and weak
points.” “Bat,” asked one of the party,
“do yon think be is the right man to elect
President of the United States?" To this
the Union officer replied: “That depends
npon circumstances. If the people desire
military rale, Grant should be elected; for,
from my knowledge of the man, I will stake
my reputation on the prediction that if he is
elected he will proclaim himself Dictator
within twelve months after he is sworn into
office?” This is the opinion of a Union sol
dier who held close personal relations with
Grant daring the greater portion of the late
war.—N. Y. World.
The Duty of th« Southern People.
The people of Virginia and, indeed, of the
whole South (says the Richmond Whig,)
owe it to the Democratic party of the North'
to do all that is in tbeir power to give sne-
cess to the ticket now before the country, and
to abstain from every act and very word
that can in any manner tend to jeopardy that
success. This is no time for carping and
objecting, and no time for railing dead is
sues or reviving old and exploded ideas.
The platform is as good a one and as strong
a one as could have been constructed. It
bravely undertakes to carry as much as it
can bear. Let ua beware how we of the
South find fault with it or attempt to crowd
upon it what may weaken it We must
take it and the candidates that are running
upon it just as they are. The cry has al
ready been raised at the North that it is a
rebel ticket and a rebel platform. L et ns
prove by our moderation and prudence that
tins cry is false and slanderous; and that all
we are striving for is admission to the Union
under the Constitution, and on the basis
laid down by that great and patriotic North
ern party that gave ns this platform and
these candidates. That Soathern men who
shall now by intemperance of condnct or
language injure the great cause of Demo*
2 cratic success, Southern, redemption and
- ji Constitutional restoration, will commit a sin'
too heinous to be named. It may be that
Radicalism will endeavor to help itself by
■ | Southern riots. Should -such belts policy,
let ns so act as to convince the world that
A third party movement
Rumor* or a movement to organics a third
pj H y with a view to bring a third Prealden
tial candidate in the field reach us in several
| of our Northern exchanges. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore San (in.
dependent conservative) nnder date of 14th
hist, says !
There is a movement in progress, backed
by some of the most substantial men in the
country, who oppose on the one hand the
Radicalism which culminated in the nomina
tion of* General Grant, and who oppose on
the otber the candidates and principles of
the New York Convention, and especially
the principles of Mr. Blair's letter, to place
a third candidate in the field for President.
The movement was began at New York
on Friday last, and is being developed
throaghont the country, with expressions of
the warmest concurrence from some of the
most prominent persona in both parties, but
particularly from the conservative men of
the country, the working men, and a large
body of soldiers and sailors.
It is proposed, if the arrangements can be
completed, to publish a list of the National
Executive Committee shortly, and to bold a
convention to nominate candidates, either in
Pittsbnrg or Cincinnati, in September.
It is believed here by the Democrats, how
ever, that this movement will amonnt to
nothing, and that within two weeks all com
plaint against the Democratic nominees will
have ceased. To this the friends of the pro
posed new party respond that they are in
earnest and will not desist.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial (Radical) writes nnder date of 12lh
inst. to the same effect, as follows:
There are all sorts of rumors afloat to
night reviving the excitement of several
weeks ago, regarding the “third party move
ments.' - A lot of nondescript politicians,
bolters from the New York Convention, and
those dissatisfied with the nomination of
Grant, are working apparently with a good
deal of energy, their object being—first, to
compel Mr. Seymour to abandon the field;
and second, if they fail in this, to endeavor
to enlist Cbase, or some otber prominent
statesman, in the movement, with the object
of making him a third candidate. Chase,
however, so the report goe3, refuses to be
come a party to the plot.
It is said that an executive committee is to
be published on Tuesday, the leaders of the
movement beiog busy now in ascertaining
what prominent gentlemeo may be counted
on.
The same writer sav3 if Judge Cbase re
fuses to accept the nomination of the new
parly, Hon. John Quincy Adams, of Massa
chusetts, and Hon. Sam Carey, of Ohio, are
to be the candidates respectively for Presi
dent and Vice President, of the Convention
to be held in Pittsbnrg or Cincinnati on the
15th August. Lewis D. Campbell of Ohio,
Gen. Fremont, a long list of the participants
in the Philadelphia Convention of I860, with
a number of old army officers and many
prominent politicians of doubtful positions,
are, according to this writer, engaged in the
movement.
The Washington Star (Radical) encourages
the movement which it attributes to dissatis
faction resulting from the nomination of
Seymour and Blair, (in other words, the de
feat of Judge Chase) by the New York Con
vention, and asserts that the embryo party
is made up of discontented War Democrats
and members of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’
organization who openly repudiate the nom
ination of Mr. Seymour, and threaten to go
for Grant or a candidate of their own. The
Star says “the Chase men per se will co-ope
rate in the formation of a new party,” and
the Democrats in Washington favor the
movement in order that the discontents may
have a candidate to throw away their votes
npon instead of going bodily over to Grant.
The Star concludes with this significant
statement:
It turns out now that Mr. Chase has never
committed himself by a scratch of the pen
to the support of the Democratic platform or
nominees, and he is thus in position to lead
off the bolters. * * * It is un
derstood that a good many of the solid men
in New York and Boston are identified with
this movement, which. at the present mo
ment, looms np rather threateningly for the
success of the Seymour and Blair ticket.
Any one who observed the wire-pulling in
the Chase interest at the late Convention, and
who is aware of the extraordinary influences
brought to bear in the hope of securing bis
nomination by that body, will not be sur
prised that such a movement as above de
scribed should be ventured upon at this time,
and will be at no loss to comprehend its
origin and motive. Like “the Chase move
ment” itself, which loomed np apparently so
formidable just before the Convention, it haB
no affinity with the Democratic party proper,
and like that movement will be powerless to
control or thwart the patriotic purposes of the
great National Democratic organization. The
third party movement does not spring from
Democratic discontent with the nominations
of Seymonr and Blair by the Convention,
nor does it originate with' the Conservative
Soldiers and Sailors’ organization, wbose
formally declared principles are set forth in
the platform of the Convention which was
ratified and endorsed by them, and who
were among the most entbnsiastio in pledg
ing tbeir support to the nominess placed
npon it. The paragraph above qnoted from
the Star discloses the animus of the new
movement. Mr. Chase is “in position to
lead off the bolters,” and “many solid men of
New York and Boston are identified with the
movement." In this acknowledgement we
have the new movement in a nut-shell. The
millionaire bond-holders of the North and
East, alarmed by tbe increasing clamor of
the over-bnrdened tax payers of the coun
try, distrustful of both Grant and
Seymour, and having failed to secure the
nomination of Judge Chase, the Prince of
the “money ring,” by the Democratic
party would now essay a movement for bis
nomination as a third candidate, in the hope
of throwing the election of President in the
House of Representatives, where the elec
tion might be made to torn npon pecuniary
rather than political considerations.
However, we have no apprehension that
the movement will be successful, or that it
will even be persisted in to any extent. A
bond-bolder party can receive no support
or sympathy from tbe non bond-hold
ing, tax-paying Democratic and Conserva
tive masses of the country, and a little oalm
reflection will serve to convince those most
deeply interested in the maintenance of the
national credit, of the utter madness of stak
ing tbe solvency of its securities on tbe is
sue of a popular election. With the ex-
ample before them of the fate of the United
States Batik, they will hardly have the fool
hardiness to risk repudiation in a contro
versy between the money power and the
tax-paying voters for supremacy in the
Government. With all Iter misfortunes the
country is not yet prepared to surrender its
liberties to a moneyed aristocracy, and it
will be a sad day for the bood-bolders of the
North and East, -when, as a party, they enter
the lists in a contest for political pewer.
Such a contest would be sure to result i: de
feat and repudiation.
Since the above article was iu type we
have received a Washington dispatch
we are blameless. Every man in tbe 8outh'y nonB< ' ln S that “the third party movement is
should feel it to be the requirement, not dead. ” Onr prediction is verified.
only of duty and gratitude, but of honor, to
abstain from every act and every expression
that can in any menner injure the cause of
our friends in the North.

There was an Immense ratification meet
ing and general lllamin&tSoa in honor of the
Democratic nominees in Macon on Wednes
day night. The meeting was addressed by
several prominent Democrats, and the ut
most enthusiasm was manifested by all
classee ofcltigangT'-XSi^^lBSBte^^iBEg
pation of the colored men of Macon in the
demonstration, the Telegraph says:
Even our colored population is rising to a
sense of the wrongs and outrages heaped
npon them and tbeir Southern white friends.
We notioed in the line of procession the
“Axe Company” (colored) of this city, num
bering seventy-five or one hundred members,
in their gay and handsome uniforms, and a
large number ot other colored patriots who
in this straggle are going to stand by their
oonntiy and people, and show Radical car
pet-baggers and false teachers that, though
black, yet they have got sense enough to get
along in the South with their-old friends and
masters without any outside advice from
hypocrites and office-seekers. We counsel
them to stand firmly by their country and
people, and then when the time comes, as
surely it will, tbe Soathern whites will stand
by them. For, so sore as the sun shines,
Radical leaders in a tew years will seek to
drive every freedman out of the South or
exterminate them. They will yet find that
tbe Southern people are their best friends,
and Northern Radicals their worst foes.
Personal.—The Augusta Constitutionalist
learns from a private letter that Hon. Cbas.
J. Jenkins and family are in Halifax, N. S.,
and that Jefferson Davis and family were ex
pected there this week, to remain daring the
summer. Quite a number of Southerners
have sought Nova Scotia this summer.
The report that the Queen of Spain has
ordered her brother-in-law, the Duke de
Montpeusier, to be arrested and sent to the
frontier, is confirmed. With him a number
of the most prominent Generals have been
exiled. Thus the Spanish Government itself
is bringing to light the most conclusive
proofs of the general dissatisfaction of the
Spanish people with Qneen Isabella. It is
reported that Gen. Prim is actively engaged
in preparing a new rising. . ,■
Three Hundred and TatRTr Thousand
Lutherans in the United States.—Profes
sor Scholl was a dilegate from the Lutheran
General Synod to the General Synod of the
Reformed Chnrcb, and in addressing that
body gives the following stitement of the
members and strength of the Lutheran Church
in this country :
We have had a home ig this land for two
hundred years, working not alone through
those wbc came from Germany, bat from
Holland also. Oar General Synod was Or
ganized in 1820. I bring yon tbe greetings
of 22 synods, 579 ministers, 949 churches,
and 70,000 members. Nor is this the strength
of our Chnrcb in this country."” We hope to
be all united. The General Synod of oar
Charch is only advisory—a voluntary asso
ciation. There is also another General Sy
nod in the Sontb, consisting of 6 synods, 120
ministers, 214 churches, and 17,000 mem
bers.
“The General Council, a part of which
was once connected with ns, tbrongb tbe
mother Synod ol Pennsylvania, formed its
organization last. It has twelve synods, 538
ministers, 1,010 churches, and 118,000 mem
bers. There are ten other synods, not con
nected with any of these, having 523 minis
ters, 944 churches, and 109,000 members.
The entire number of our ministry is 1,750;
our synods, 50; 3,112 churches, and a mem
bership of a third of a million. These
branches differ somewhat. We receive 'the
Augnsbnrg Confession. The General Coun
cil receives also the Formula of Concord, the
Apology of the Augsburg Cjnteaaion. and
the Catechism ot Luther.” *
Some of the generals now oa police doty
in the South are endeavoring to make it ap-
pear that military rale there is drawing to a
close. If so, asks the World how comes
it that the Paymaster-General has just sub
mitted the following estimate of the amounts
required for the execution of the Recon-;
struction acts io these States np to June 30,
1869.
In the First Military District (State or Vir
ginia) to Jane 30,1869, $100,000.
In tbe Second Military District (States of
North Carolina and South Carolina) to Jnne
30, 1869, $24,000.
In the Third Military District (States of
Georgia, Alabama, and* Florida) to June 30,
1869, $150,000.
In tne Fourth Military District (States of'

Meeting in Brooki, ‘
WASHINGTON SKWS Ann GOSSIP.
A Chat with the President—He will Give
the Ticket a Hearty Support—The Rad
icals Breaking Ground in Favor or
Greenbacks—The Virginia Elections—
The Radicals Scared—They will Pre
vent a Dcraat by Legislation.
[Special to the Louisville Courier.]
Washington, July 13.—The President, in
conversation to-day with several prominent
Democrats, spoke in high terms of Seymonr,
of bis purity of character and integrity.
He thought the nomination of Hancock
would have possibly polled a greater num
ber of Conservatives, bnt that tbe liberties of
the country were at stake, and the duty of
all was to give a hearty support to the nom
inees of the convention. There was no
hall-way ground. So far from being -cha
grined at the result, tbe President, with
characteristic modesty, declared that he had
received more pnblic honors than he de
served, and now oil that remained to him
was to look to the interests of the country.
The President is evidently disposed to give
material support to the ticket, but it is ru
mored that some of his Cabinet differ with
him, Seward among the number.
Gen. Craig, of Missouri, publishes a letter
denouncing Butler’s report on impeachment
so far as his testimony is concerned. He
pleasantly adds that Bntler is a thief, and a
poppy, a great liar and a dirty dog.
Tne Radicals are afraid of the eleotion in
Virginia, and will attempt to amend the
House bill in tbs- Senate so as to prevent
farther registration.- This will oat off 25,000
Conservative votes.
The House killed the bill to-dav allowing
Hon. J. D. Young, of Kentucky, $2,000 to
pay his expenses in contesting the eleotion
with McKee.
Romero, ex-Mexican Minister, will marry
Miss Allen or this oitv oa tbe 15th last., and
leave forthwith for Mexico.
Congress will not adjoarn until August 1.
The Radicals claim a fraud in tbe Mississip
pi election, and are arranging to cheat the
Conservatives oat of the fraits of their vic
tory. Several carpet-baggers have arrived
to swear he thing through.
[Special to the Louisville Journal.!
Washington, July is, 1888.—The dehate
in the Senate to-day on .the funding bill was
significant The Radicals took the gceenr
n /li °j argument, and it is gener
ally believed the demonstration is the fore
runner of a general party movement in that
direction. The more astnte of the Radical
leaders say that the New York Convention,
of Seymour, leave them a chance to bufc-
Peudleton the Pendletonians aod tfcis they
intend to do, Jay Cooke or" no Jay Cooke.
Morton; of Indiana, u at the head or this
idea.
Many of the New York delegates are still
here. Some noisy Johnson men, with the
hope, no doubt, of commending themselves
to the President, are talking about gettii
np another Philadelphia Convention. Thi
will receive no general countenance. An
drew Johnson himseli, as I learn from one
of his most confidential Tennessee friends,
is reconciled to Seymour, and says the hope
of the country rests npon the success of the
Democratic ticket. A variety of opinions
are expressed about the ticket. Some of oar
friends are afraid that Seymonr cannot bo
elected. If he cannot, God help tbe country.
He is the ablest man in the Democratic
parly, and one of the purest. If any pro
fessed Conservative votes for Grant, it will
be conclusive evidence that he is not' Con
servative to hurt. There is no danger of
Johnson’s “bolting” in any event.
Editors News and Herald :

semb'ed in the Court Rduse, at Quitman, on

Mr. Dwes said tbe committee wonld in
vestigate faithfully as to any matter com
mitted to them. They simply made an ex

they were oorrect, and whether they pre
sented a pritna facia case.
Mr. Cnilbm, of Illinois, asked if there was
any law to prevent electors from all voting
on one side if they desired to do so.

scribed how these elections should- be held,
and tbe people of. Alabama had not held their
election in conformity to thalt aw.
The credentials were referred to the com

Behavior of the Soathern Delegations.
No one whp has read the proceedings'of
the Deinocdtticri National Convention can
have failed to remark the behavior of tbe
delegations from tbe Soathern States.
Eight years had passed since the represen-
i860, at Charleston, they met as political en
emies rather than as party friends. Both
Northern and Southern Democrats entered
that Convention inf the spirit of faction. A
large portion of the North came with the
name of a maq inscribed on their banner.
eiples, and in the view of hi* supporters'the
truest exponent of those principles that the
country contained. Bat their demand tor
bis nomination was met by the South in the
spirit of defiance. Unwillingness to be dic
tated to by the North became an attempt,! or
whatiwBM nai-xn. -attempq (h.
part of tbe South to dietate to the North.
High words, ■ffflroe passions, anger, h
and evenrapture, division and defeat of
party, a bloody and-devastating civil Wat'—
these were the sequences, aod the downfall
oflsontherarpoliticsl-power the end.
With that end and the history of eight
years preceding It in yiew, the behavior of
tbe8oathem delegations in the New York
Convention .must have impressed all ob
servers as the highest possible expression of
good taste, gentlemanly breeding, and in-
:rior common sense.
Perhaps the best possible description of it
was given by Mr. Campbell,' of South Caro
lina, in his very neat prefatory remarks on
rising to cast tbe vote of that State for Ho
ratio Seymonr. “We V?re,i instructed by
the Cooventio'n that sent ns here' to behave
—**i the,proprieties whioh belong to the
-bredgdest, and not to assume any of
the functions of the symposiasts of the
feast.” Not'only the delegation from South
’arolina, but the delegation from every
'OUthern Slate seem to have acted in
tbe spirit, and to have falfilled in
theic.behaviour the sentiment of those in
structions. Solicitous for their own welfare,
and knowiog that that welfare was involved
in tbe action of the Convention, the South-
rfrh Sthtes'came -with no demand to make,
and no candidate to propose. They came to
accept, without murmur or criticism, what
ever the voice of the Convention should
pronounce; hot to ask or to tender advice in
divided councils. And right nobly did they
fulfil their eelf-ehoeen part They have
commended themselves to the praiee and ad
miration of every American gentleman.—
