Radicalism is Neither Dead Nor Sleepeth. Those who imagine Republicanism, in its bitterest ami meanest form, as a thing of the past, are widely mis* taken. Those who look upon Hayes’ so-called “ Southern policy” as likely to overthrow the Republican party, or that from it, good will inure to the South, have simply tailed to compre hend the “true inwardness” of the administration policy. Those who have supposed Hayes other than a scheming politician, a model specimen of New England puritanism, have studied his publfe character to little purpose. It is true, hiB course t owards the 8»Uth, so far, has beeu conserva tive, and such as we ;mist accept freeiy, fully, and without opposition, since it brings to us more of freedom and the right ot local self-go vein - .. ment than has been our portion for the past dozen years. But this is a conservatism with a purpose; con servatism not of principle, but from the logic of events. That Hayes is a mast avowed Republican, the leader and exponent of the most dangerous wing of Republicanism, there can he no successful denial. That his admin istrative conservatism is but the ex pose of a deep-laid and adroillyjfbon- ceived Radical strategy for the disin tegration of the Democratic party, especially at the South, no one who has given thought or study to the political tendency of the times, will ior 3 moment gainsay. That his pro- tossed “ Southern policy” is other than the result of that united action on the part of the Southern Democ racy which made Radicalism to fear the “ 8olid South,” and wasnccessaiy both to secure him the presidency and to sustain his administration, cannot be questioned, for the record proves it. When we reflect that it is the “ Solid South” which gives the National Democracy its strength and power; when we remember that the South with her electoral vote needs only the co-operation of New York, Connecticut, New Jersey or Indiana, which are decidedly Democratic, in order to control and shape ilte desti nies of our government, is it at all surprising that Hayes and the Repub lican party should fear and tremble and with that political acumen wliieSi has ever characterized Radicalism, week, to break the-solid ranks of the Southern De mocracy ? It has been well said .that “the hardest blow t hat the Republican party, has struck at the Demooravy in several years is io tlicir determination to entirely abandon their political organization in the South.” What could more certainly or effectually bring about the much-desired disintegration of Our Southern Democratic ranks, than l>y this abandonment of bayonet and Carpet-bag influence in the South, to (inis aid the “ independent move ment” which now so seriously threat ens the safety and welfare of our country, and which finds its support and encouragement among dema gogues, office-seekers and sore-heads, whose vaulting ambition knows no interest but self? This is the “true invvnrdne.s” of the much-udked-nf conservatism of the present adiniuis- | (ration. This is the subtle strategy, the political shrewdness of that Radi- j calL-m which finds its origin and abode j in the hot-beds of New England I imtunism, and of which Hayes, 1 /.Ort.-ti,:.-r 1 through that fraud and corruption ; which serves its vitality, is the I commissioned leader. This is tin- ! “ Southern policy” which untbink- j ing, unwise and foolish men would | laud, and which the South should ; accept as a fortuitous turn in the j wheel of her prolitical fortunes, by \ which she should mould herself into j an impregnable barrier against future ! corruption and oppression, through j which, that which was devised as the j instrument of our political overthrow 1 may prove the sword of retributive i justice, the boomerang of Radicalism, ! when the restoration of power to the i South aud a return to good and honest i government will be the just, but uuex- i pected, unintended reward. With these unquestionable facts, | which should ever stare us in the face, ■ will the Southern democracy desert | its colors, when upon tho very eve of most glorious victory ? Let the Dem ocracy of the South, be not shaken: let it remain solid in that political or ganization which has rescued us from the hands of our oppressors; let us bo true to principle, true to our country, truo to ourselves, true to our party or ganization and in the near future we we will triumphantly behold the death and decay ot Radicalism, when ours will again be *' the land of the free and the home of the prosperous.” Let our people be not deceived by those who would tell them that Radicalism is dead} that fraternal relations between the sections have, been restored; that the hour of our deliverance is at hand: that uew parties and new party lines are now necessary for the purification and guidance of ourlocal governments; that alone through a new-departure can the needed economy, retrenchment and reform be secured. This is all political balderdash, the prating-of 1876, for State and National tickets, and the undoubted right of President Ilayes and Vice President Wheeler to publican party in Ohio has now raised. They are defined with the greatest distinctness in the platform the electoral votes of those States was of the party, and in the speeches of affirmed by the highest and most im partial tribunal that could be organ ized nnder the authority of the na tional government—a tribunal to which Democrats in both branches in Con gress gave their deliberate assent. ot . the Democratic party now to raise a cry of fraud is both unmanly and dishonest, and if persisted it must be accepted as an indication that the par ty in its mad career for power is wil ling to incur all hazards of anarchy | and revolution. The proceedings of the Constitu tional Convention have been too volu minous and of too uncertain a char acter, under the reconsideration mania, for ns to attempt to give them in the different issues m the Georgian. A.s it is greatly to be hoped that adjournment is now .near at hand, this hope being strengthened by the its candidate for Governor. They are new and startling; but they agree well with each other National Fraud as the means of making Presidents, Communism as the means of mrn- lating property, labor, and society, form a coherent body of political doctrine If the people like them, they will approve of them, and vote for the candidates who represent them. If they do not like them, they will reject at once the doctrines and the candidates. Injustice to Hon. B. H. Hill. Great injustice is being done Hon B. H.

No, Republicanism is neither dead, nor sleepeth. With renewed life aud vigor, with intensified bitterness, meanness and sectional ani mosity it again lifts'iss hydra-head from Maine to Mexico. As proof of what we have asserted, we append the following resolutions of the recent Maine Republican Convention, which for glaring misrepresentation, sectional animosity, boldness of purpose and unprincipled effort to fire anew the Northern heart, equals if not excels anything which has ever before been furnished by this government despoil ing party, with which" to blacken the history of the American republic: Resolved, That most kindly and fraternal relations should be enter tained between all sections of our com mon country, and peace,, good will, quiet and harmony have always been most cordially desired and labored for by the Republicans of Maine. They believe these great ends can be secured only by the free exercise of politcal opinion and the most unrestrained liberty of party organization. They 1 view, therefore, with solicitude and alarm, the complete consolidation of all political power, in the sixteen South ern States in the hands.of„those who participated in the rebellion, .while white Union men are persecuted into silence or banishment. The entire colored race is so ..practically disen- frauchished by force and fear that in Congressional districts where they have two-tbirds of the voters they are una ble to elect one of their own race or a white man who sympathizes with their interests.- Thirty.flve representatives in Congress and thirty-five votes in the Electoral College, apportioned to the Southern States because ot their col ored population, arc thus inverted to the sole aggrandizement of the Con federate power in tho National Gov ernment. and the late rebel soldiers in Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana are thus enabled to exert in the administration of the gov ernment more than double the politi cal [tower of the Union soldiers in any Northern State. Resolved, That the States of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana were fairly aud legally carried by the Re publicans at the November election, themselves n 0 a,p.st the robbvrj of a j an( j a g n j nst w hich Mr. Hill nor any fraudulent, corrupt anil irresponsible j 01ie ^ „ mi , lhe defcW, administration.

"BiTt so long as she has tho wisdom to stamp with re pudiation the bogus issues which carry not with them the legal obligation of the State, her credit will be enhanced and her legal bonds and securities will be worth a premium in the markets of tho world. The New York Hun in commenting upon the great living issues, inaugura ted in the Ohio Republican platform, has this to say: Never before have the State elections in the first year of a new presidential term turned upou issues of such novelty, such magnitude, and such vital importance as those which are to be decided at the polls in thie coming autumn. - With a propriety which seems al most providential, the keynote of the autumn elections in all the States is pitched in Ohio, the State which fur- uished the country with the fraudulent President and with some of the chief conspirators and agents through whose action he was put into office. The new issues brought to [he front in Ohio are two, and each of them is of transcendent consequence. They are conceived by the Republicans ot that State briefly as follows: > I. The electoral conspiracy and the fraud 1 through which the man who was rightfully elected President was depafiatrof .the office while it was conferred upon the man whom the people had rejected—this conspiracy and this fraud shall not only he con doned and forgiven, but positively ap proved and glorified. II. The American political and social system, whose cornerstone is liberty, and whose manifestation is the freedom of individual and asso ciate action without government in terference, should be suppressed; and in its place there should be established a centralized government interfering in everything; with a Communistic system of business and labor in which the Government should own or con trol all great industrial undertakings, regulate the rates of wages, and di rect and supervise all social relations generally. These Are the issues which the Re- und certainly we should not have noticed it but from the fact that some of the. true press of the State have unfortunately, and doubtless thought lessly given circulation to the gross misrepresentation, and hence this sim ple act of justice to our United States Senator. ead the News} Strike in Athens!

The same paper gives the following news: A report cornea from Rio Grande City, by way of Galveston, to the effect that a bold outrage has just been perpetrated at the former place by Mexican banditti. Fifteen armed Mexicans entered the town, broke open ■the jnil, shat Judge Cox and the jailer and released two noto rious outlaws who were 'imprisoned there. The civil authorities called upon the military for protection, and the dispatch states that Major Price, with one hundred regulars and two Gatling guns, started in pursuit of the Mexican baud, bnt«£iiled tn over take them Iks fore they bad made good their escape across . the river.

If, as is announced, they go into the question of he value and legality of municipal and other securities, with which the market is flooded, their deliberations may be of very great value and ma terially aid legislation in a direction where some practical knowledge is very much needed.
