annual, meeting ok the national
TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION.
We are requested to call the attention of
the teachers and friends of education in our
city to the annual meeting of the Na
tional Teachers’ Association, which will be
held in the city of Nashville, Tennessee, on
the 19th, 20 th and 21st inst.
“The Legislature of Tennessee, by joint
resolution, welcomed the Association to the
capitol of the State, and tendered the use of
both the Senate Chamber and the Hall of
Representatives for their sessions. General
Eaton, the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, with the hearty co-operation of
the principal educational men of the State,
is preparing to receive the Association with
one of the warmest welcomes it has ever
met The railroads entering Nashville will
carry delegates and members to and from
the meeting at half fare. Arrangements are
in progress to present an unusually rich
programme, and it is hoped that a full repre
sentation of the educators of our whole
country will be present. The National Nor
mal School Association, and the National
Association of School Superintendents will
hold their annual meetings' In connection
with this meeting. Many of the leading edu
cators of America may be expected, and
questions of profound and far-reaching inter
est will bo discussed. ’’
We quote the above from the circular of
the President of the Association, Professor
John M. Gregory.
Georgia should be represented in this con
vention by her foremost teachers. The an
nual meeting of the Georgia State Teaoh-
era’s Association is fixed by the Constitution
on the same day with the meeting of the Na
tional Association; but as the President,
Dr. Tncker, has made no announcement in
regard to this meeting, it is probable that he
has thought best to postpone the meeting
of the State Association till the fall or win
ter.
Dr. Barnas Sears, general agent of the
Peabody Educational Fund, will be present,
and address the Association, and Hon.
Henry Barnard, National Commisioner of
Education, will also address the National
Superintendents' Association.
ME. SEYUOVR’S LETTER. UR* ACCEP
TANCE.
The telegraphic synopsis of Mr. Seymour's
letter of acceptance, whioh we publish this
morning, conveys enough of its tone and
spirit to assure us that there is no lack of ac
cord between himself and General Blair in
reference to the outrages and nsurpations of
the Radio al parly. Mr. Seymour under
stands the irresistible tide of public senti
ment which he cannot resist if he would,
and which is sure to sweep Badioalism, with
all its infamies, nsurpations and corruptions,
from the high places ot the country. It is
bat the swell of a great political, social and
moral reformation and restoration, which
will not be stayed by the raw-head and
bloody-bones cry of “revolution!” “civil
war!” “anarchy!” so industriously employed
by the infamous faction who seek impunity
for their usurpations and crimes in the fears
and forbearance of a betrayed and outraged
people.
Mr. Seymour, like General Blair, not only
accepts the Democratic nomination, but he
also accepts the true, the great and vital is
sues involved in the contest With such'
standard bearers standing on the platform of
immutable truth, victory is certain.
MILITARY OUTRAGE IN TUSCALOOSA,
ALABAMA.
The Montgomery Mail publishes an ac
count ot a most disgraceful affair in Tusca
loosa, Ala. An officer of the United States
army writes a most scurrilous article for a
Radical paper, coached in filthy inaendos
against a number of the most respectable la
dies of Tuscaloosa. The article was a vile
and cowardly assault npon those ladies for
the friendship they had exhibited towards
Mr. Ryland Randolph, who had recently
been imprisoned by the military for sheotiDg
a negro in self-defence. Mr. Randolph very
properly slapped the jaws of the editor, and
a relative of one of the ladies challenged the
cowardly officer. .'Instead of accepting the'
challenge he treacherously placed the young
gentleman who bore the challenge, a son of
Gen. Roddy, in his guard house, an’d then
paraded the streets with his squad of sol
diers, invading private residences and using
the. most incendiary language. All this after
the return of the State to civil law. We are
glad that the citizens of Tuscaloosa refrained
from violence towards this fellow who dis
graced his uniform. He and bis instigators
no donbt desired a pretext npon which to
raise a clamor against our people.
The West for Setmour.—Throughout the
entire West a most active campaiga is being
had. The evidences are that our candidates
are the favorites. In Indiana, debatable
ground, the contest is lively. On Monday
next a mass meeting commences at Fort
Wayne, which is to be addressed by Clement
Vallandigham and others. Among the yonng
Democrats upon the stump in that State, we
notice C. Carroll Hicks, Esq., formerly of
Columbus. —
Political Changes in Ohio.—The Dayton
Ledger says Charles Morris, of Troy, Ohio, one
of the leading lawyers of Miami county, and
hitherto an active Republican, has publicly an-
- nounced his intention to support Seymour and
Blair. Quite a number of other prominent
Republicans in Miami county have renounced
their former faith, and the Democracy there
are even confident of being able to carry the
County this fall.
Hon. Francis Rodman, Secretary of State
of Missouri, has brought suit against Messrs.
Knapp & Co., proprietors of the St. Louis
Republican, for libel. He claims $50,000
damages for a statement made In that paper
that, on Sunday, Mr. Rodman and others
went into a drinking saloon, in Jefferson
City, and there had a bnrlesqne imitation of
theLord’s Sapper. . ’-K i - -- - • '
A special dispatch in the Charleston News
S'tvcs toiler details of the late disgraceful
brawl in • Colombia, S. O., in which one.white
man was shot and killed by negro members
of the Legislature. It appears that the party

VOX OK or WARNING
WENT.
We have before alluded to the infamous
scheme of the Radical party, through the in
strumentality of their bogus Legislatures, to
deprive the people of the Southern States of
the right to vote for President, and expressed
our confident belief that the Democraoy of
the North and West would not submit to
such an outrage. The following from the
Cleveland, (Ohio) Plaindealer is the first ex
pression of Democratic opinion in that
quarter on the subject that we have seen.
Alluding to thaNew York Herald’s apologetic
excuse for the contemplated usurpation—that
by transferring the choice of electors from
the people to the Legislatures the country
would be relieved of all fears of any each
disturbances and frauds as have been appre
hended, and seoure to the South the peace
and qniet so mnch needed, by successfully
checking any designs the President may
have for protecting the election of Seymour
and Blair—the Plaindealer says: “It is al
ways the oustom of the Radicals before they
begin to perpetrate any great fraud or out
rage, to charge that the Prisident has in con
templation some sinister design, and under a
pretense that ha intends to “protect” the elec
tion of Seymour, they intend to TAKE OUT
OF THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE the
right to vote for President! If the Legisla
tures of the reorganized States attempt this
infamy, and it should thns secure the elec
tion of Ulysses S. Grant, without a vote of
THE PEOPLE, do THEY FOB A MOMENT IMAGINE
THAT THEY CAN CRAM HIM DOWN THE THROATS
OF THE PEOPLE AS A FAIRLY AND LEGITIMATELY
elected President ? We do not believe,
reckless and determined as the'Radicals are,
that they will dare to defy the American
PEOPLE BY A MEASURE SO BEVOLUTIONABy, SO
outrageous and so unfair. If they can
delegate to a Legislature elected for purposes
of a local character the right to choose Presi
dential electors, why not at once allow them to
pioclaim Ulysses 8. Grant Military Dictator,
and strangle the Republic at once ? Are we
not rapidly drifting away from our old form
of government, when the people were sove
reign.’’
FROM ATLANTA.
The telegraphic correspondent of the Au
gusta Chronicle, under date of 4th inst., fur
nishes the following:
Contrary to general expeectation and be
lief, and wbat I telegraphed yon yesterday,
the committee appointed by the Senate to in
vestigate Aaron Alpeoria’a eligibility, did not
report to-day.
I can give no reason for this unexpected
delay. Tbere is no donbt, I think, however,
but wbat the committee, with the exception
of one member, will recommend bis expul
sion.
A long and very animated discussion took
place to-day on a resolution which was offer
ed to refer to the Committee the House bill
postponing elections of the municipality in
Savannah.
Soon after the meeting of the Honse this
morning the Radical ranks were startled by
a resolution being introduced ordering an in
vestigation of the late election returns for
Governor of the State, the members of Con
gress, and also members of the State Legis-
ature.
If this resolution is agreed to they have
good cause for alarm, for there is no donbt
that the election returns have been grossly
tampered with and many Radicals declared
elected to office who had a clear majority
against them at the polls.
No appointments yet. The old slate
still stands—Joe Brown Chief Justice, Mc
Kay (the miscegenator) and Walker as Asso
ciates. .
The Constitution newspaper of this morn
ing has a wild rnmor to the effect that a
member of the House of Representatives is
preparing impeachment articles against Bul
lock.

Proceeding, or the Alabama Legislature,
Montgomsbt, Angnst 6.—In the House
nothing of interest was done. X he Senate
passed with one dissenting vote a bill re
moving political disabilities. It provides
that aU disabilities resting upon a citizen
shall be removed npon bis filing an ap

^TheSenate by a vote of 13 to 12, the Lieu
tenant Governor giving the deciding vote,
passed the bill which had previously passed
the House authorizing the Governor to 80-
lect one newspaper fa^kCoggreguonal Dis
trict ia which all the kgal notices of every

■Governor will veto it.
? VI.’ prom Atlanta.
Atlanta, Angnst 5.-A resolution was
offered in the House to-day that all persons
holding municipal offices in the State by vir
tue of any military commission be removed,
and all offices thus vacated be resumed by
those removed by the military commission,
and be required to act in their respective ca-
pacities until tbs tin*® for holding the mu-
nicipal elections. ...
The bill to incorporate the Georgia Air
Line Railroad was made the special order
for Monday.
New Yobx, August 5.—Mr. Seymour has
written a letter formally accepting the nomi
nation for President by the Democratic Con
vention. He says it was unsought and un
expected, but he was caught up by the over
whelming tide which is bearing the country
on to a great political change and he finds
himselt nnable to resist its pressure. The
resolutions adopted by the Convention ac
cord with his views. He delayed a formal
acceptance until the adjournment of Con
gress for the purpose of seeing what light its
action would throw upon the interests of the
country. The Congressional party has not
only allied itself with the military power,
which is to be brought to bear directly upon
the election in many of the States, but holds
itself in perpetnal session with the avowed
purpose of making such laws as it shall see
fit in view of the election soon to take place.
Never before has Congress taken a merce
nary attitude towards eleetors. Under the
influence of Congress, some of the . States
are proposing to deprive the people of the
right to vote for Presidential electors.
Thereby the first bold step has
been taken to destroy the right of suffrage.
He refers to the demands of the tax gatherer.
He says men have been admitted as Repre
sentatives of some Southern States with
declarations npon their lips that they cannot
live in the States they claim to represent
without military protection. He says these
men owe their seats to the disorder at the
South, and that very fact prompts them to
keep it in anarchy. In vain the wisest Re
publicans have protested against this policy.
There is hardly, an able man who helped to
build np the Republican organization who
has not within the past three years warned it
against its excesses, while ( many have been
driven from its ranks. Personally, the
Presidential office has no attractions for him.
Daring the war he had given sixteen thou
sand commissions to officers of the army, and
he knew that they demanded the Union they
fonght for. The largest meeting of these
gallant soldiers ever held endorsed the ac
tion of the Convention. He does not donbt
a triumph which will bring back peace and
prosperity to our land, and give once more
the blessings of a wise, religions and honest
government.

or to appoint a secret police throughout the

left to the discretion of the Governor.
The bill referred to on the 3d instant, rela
tive to an oath, &o., for telegraph operators,
was not finally disposed of until to-day,
when it was defeated. It proposed taxing all
telegraphs ia the State one dollar per mile
for land tines, fifteen dollars on cables. The
oath was an iron clad.
The Legislature will probably adjourn to

The following is a well authenticated Cab
