THE EXCURSION.
Important Notice to Those Attending.
The Steamer leaves the Wharf soon af
ter train arrives. Every one must gov
ern themselves accordingly. The Boat
and those not j throughout the land. Fur a long time
Congress refused to remove his political
be c ireful to disparage the chances of no
other aspirant in the field.
We take this position because we know
Col. Hardeman to be a man of great abili
ty, of soundest honesty and strictest in
tegrity. II is devotion to the State of
Georgia and to the South is known
wlH not delay for any one,
on board at that hour may get left.
The Augusta Chronicle says that Mr.
Toombs, who was in the city on legal
business for the last two days, left last
evening for Crawfordville to spend Sun
day w’& fiis friend, Hon. Alex H. Steph
ens. The report in one of the Washing
ton papers .that General Toombs was re
quired to tai e an oath before being.allow-
cd to practic* io the Supreme Court has
not The slightest foundation. He was re
ceived with much consideration by the
Judges of the Supreme Court, and even j that body he was-elected to the Speaker-
President Grant, to whom he paid his rc- ; sllip 0 f t h e House, which office he admin
•pecu while in Washington, received him j jgtered ^ most distinguislie d ability: "
cordially. The General holds lus own - ''
disabilities, because,—we know of no
other reason—he held suph a high place
in the affections of the Southern people.
Col. Hardeman has held many positions
of honor and importance in Georgia, in
all of which he has giver. the most per
fect satisfaction. After his disabilities
were removed lie was forthwith elected a
member of the Legislature from the coun
ty of Bibb, and upon the assembling of
remarkably well—he is in goad condition
physically and mentally.
And now they are about to get A. Tin
ker Akerman into it. “The secret service
fund,” as it is called, is money which the
Administration has used for party purpo
ses—to carry elections and the like. The
testimony taken before the Investigating
Committee of Congress implicates Mr.
Amos T. Akerman—indeed, the evidence
thus far shows that he first lent himself to
this nefarious business—that he prostitut
ed his official station to corrrupt the bal
lot-box.
A Thomasville correspondent of the
Atlanta Times says “indications point to
the probable candidacy of cither (.’apt.
W. M. Hammond or Judge A. II. Hansel,
of this city, or Capt. II. G. Turner, for
Congress in the second district.” We
don't care a fig which way that old piece
of convenience “indication” points, we
think there is not a man in the District
who can turn down our present able and
honest Representative, lion. Win. E.
Smith.
The late colored men’s convention in
Nashville, Tenn., resolved that efforts to
create “a color line in politics” are to be
deplored by all lovers of liberty and or
der.”
This is a sensible conclusion, but it is
very late to be learning it. When the
Republicans and the colored voters had
away in the South, they did not talk so,
but as the sceptre is departing from their
grasp, they see the folly of their former
combinations.
The latest Parisian sensation is the ar
rest of a fashionable dentist, who is accus
ed of having availed himself of his pro
fessional opportunities to introduce slow
poison into the mouths of rich patients,
■being remunerated therefor by the heirs.
It is alleged that many murders have been
committed in this manner, and two hun
dred witnesses have been summoned to
testify on the examination.
Journalistic.—The Albany News lias
been purchased by Mr. Frank V. E vans and
Capt. S. R. WestoD, Col. Styles retiring.
Both gentlemen composing the new firm
are well and favorably known to the pub
lic of Georgia, and under their manage
ment we predict for the News a continued
career of prosperity and usefulness. We
wish you success, gentlemen.
The Griffin News is disposed to be hyp
ercritical. It complains that “they sent a
crippled nigger thirteen years old to the
chain gang from Atlanta, but Foster
Blodgett still languishes upon straw bail.”
The “crippled nigger” didn’t have a tin
box full of papers. The friends of Blodgett
are the slaves of the Box.
In every political campaign since the
war, the eloquence of Thomas Hardeman
has berm heard from the mountains to the
seaboard, and from one confine, of the
State to another, upholding the cause of
Democracy and the South, and nerving
our people to the great effort which wrest
ed Georgia from the hands of adventurers
and placed her under the control of her
own sons.
Before the war Colt Hardeman was
aligned with the old Whig party, in which
organization he received his political train
ing, and we all know that there was no
better school. Since the war he has been
in the foremost ranks of the Democracy,
because that party lias opposed, step by
step, the encroachments of Radical rui.s-
government, and because all true South
ern men have aligned themselves with it.
We feel confident that we are correct
when we say that Col. Hardeman is the
choice of the Democracy of Decatur coun
ty for the Governorship—and should he
be elected his administration will be one
of the ablest and most brilliant that has,
thus far, marked our history as a State.
The suite of theEmperorof Brazil, who
has just arrived in this country, consists
of the Empress, Chamberlain, a gentle
man in waiting to the Empress, a maid of
honor, a physician, a private secretary
and a treasurer, with seven servants. They
will occupy 22 rooms at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York.
At TV ilmington, North Carolina, last
week, a lot of Confederate currency and
bonds and of State war bonds, redeemable
in Confederate currency, was sold. The
State bonds brought from five and one-
half to nine cents per $1,000; the Confed
erate bonds three and one-half cents, and
the currency one-half cent.
TH3 POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
■ It will be some mouths before the politi
cal ball is actually open, and hence there
is no use for either party to be wasting
ammunition. But what we wish to say
is this. We do hope that the coming cam
paign will be conducted in a spirit of true
conservatism—that passion may be re
placed with reason and coolness, and that
argument will take the place of crimina
tions and recriminations.
The country under the new dispensa
tion caused by the war, is now far enough
along to begin to understand itself more
thoroughly. That is to say, the passions
engendered by the war and the bitterness
created by the sudden enfranchisement of
four millions of gross ignorance, ought in
eleven years to have faded away.
Negro suffrage and the Constitutional
amendments are finalities. The Civil
Rights Bill is a dead letter, and, in fact,
all the legislation of a Radical Congress,
passed for the purpose of inducing hatred
between the races is a nullity and a farce.
Hence in the coining campaign there will,
and ought to be, ‘less race antagonism
than ever before. The great rallying cry
of the Demociatic Rally will be honest
administration, and the expulsion of
thieves from office. It will be their duty
to their record and to the country to hurl
the corrupt men from the control of this
government, and to replace theta with
citizens against whom there is no breath
of suspicion. This, we say, will be the
paramount duty of the Democratic party,
and should be that of every person no
matter what is or what has been his polit
ical connexion.
The Augusta Chronicle says Congress
seems to be almost wholly occupied with
Belknap's impeachment, the safe burglary
case, the trauds of post-traders, and other j mortgaged his house at Lon
frauds too tedious to mention. Cleanin
the Augean Stable is, iudecd. a Herculea
task.
If we were not afraid of being shot
through the gizzard with sharp edged sar
casm. we would respectfully ask J. Con
stable Harris, of the Savannah News, what
he thinks of the paragraph from the letter
of Ben Hill to Gen. Gurlrell.
It is altogether a matter of policy, it
THE WHOLE STORY.
A TFbrW Washington special says
strange stories are circulating about the
President. A prominent member of Coir
gross, who speaks upon good authority,
says that President Grant lias determined,
when summoned before the Investigation
Committee, to tell everything he knows,
regardless of consequences; and to the
charges made against him, having no
chance for re-nomination, he had rather
sacrifice the party than be sacrificed
himself. He claims to have made his ap
pointments with honorable intent, but
admits that he lias been deceieved’by his
trk-nds. Some time ago the President
_ Branch.
Lately the mortgage was paid. The
money with which it was paid was the re
sult of the sale of a considerable amount
of big Bonanza mining stock, which
Grant, with extraordinary honor, declin
cd to hold after the passage of the silver
bill.
[From the Chronicle & Sentinel.
LET JUSTICE BE DONE- .
In the last issue of the Griifia News we
find tii a following paragraph :
Speaking of Governor Smith’s refusal to
be a candidate for Governor . the Atlanta
Constitution says “thousands of people will
regret to hear of the Governor’s decision.”
Tite “thousands” don’t amount to a baker’s
dozen if this part of the country is any cri
terion.—Augusta Constitutionalist.
The clemency of the Executive passeth
our understanding. He has ju3t pardoned
a man for shooting another. If it had been
a woman needing a part uni what then?
Those who know the Chronicle & Sentinel
at all know that it is not the partisan of
Governor Smith or any other man. Wa
manage our property in our own way ; we
owe no man a favor, and we strive only to
do what is right. We are in a position to
be independent of any man or set of men,
| and we propose to continue so. But we-be
liev6 that justice should be done to every
person, whether high or low. So far as
his official acts are concerned we think that
Governor Smith has male a wise, faithful
and economical Ciiief Magistrate. Wo -be
lieve that the State of Georgia owes a great
deal'to his skill, his honesty and his ti leli-
ty. We believe he has richly earned an 1
deservedly received the thanks aud grati
tude of the people of the State, whose inter
est lie lias guarded au 1 whose welfare he
has zealously protected. When the Consti
tutionalist said that only a * baker’s dozen”
in tiiis part of the country regretted Gover
nor Smith's withdrawal from the canvass,
it labored under a great mistake, er else sim
ply stated that which was incorrect. We
have every ccltor, for believing that if Gov
ernor-Smith had expressed the slightest de
sire for a renominatiou lie would have car
ried Richmond an i a majority of the coun
ties of Middle Georgia. We know he has
many warm friends in this section of the
State, and if he had remained in the field
he would have received a very large vote.
The Griffin News intimates that Governor
Smith once refused to grant Executive cle
mency where it was deserved. The News of
course, alludes to the case of Susan Eo c r-
hart. It has been charged by a few that
this woman should have been pardoned, ami
that Gov. Smith should have interA-r. to
prevent the execution of tiie sentence of to.
iaw. We confess that we are not of this
opinion. We read carefully the record of
this trial, and saw all the evidence that
caused the jury to bring in a verdict of guil
ty. In our opinion the testimony fully jus
tified the verdict. The evidence showed
clearly and conclusively that Susan Eber-
hart conspired with her paramour to kill
her paramour’s wife, and that she was pres
ent when the deed was done, and aided am;
abetted a most cruel and cowardly murder.
The jury properly found her guil'y, and
Governor Smith would have forgotten his
duty if lie had interposed to shield her from
the gallows. The woman received a good
deal of unde-erved sympathy simply because
she was a woman. Her male companion
was execrated bv every person who read a
history of the crime. But it was something
new in Georgia to hang a woman, and hence
all the harsh and unjust criticisms o. Gov.
Smith and his refusal to interfere. Some
newspapers seem to have forgotten that many
of the darkest deeds recorded in the annals
of crime have been committed by women.
For our part, we think a great mistake would
have been made if this woman had been par
doned. She justly deserved death, and so
ciety would have been wronged by her par
don or by a commutation of her punishment.
To those who think differently, we simply
say “read the record of the trial.” Those
who follow this advice can not fail to by
convinced of the wisdom an d justice of his
course.
LEARNING MODESTY,
It is n diceable that within the last^
two or three weeks the eachinations or
the Radicals over this raw and blunder
ing Democratic House of Representa
tives have altogether ceased, and the
House is not considered so simple and
verdant, after all. Either the Demo
cratic members are “getting the hang
of the school-house” or teaching their
political adversaries the “bang” of it,
or perhaps a good deal of both—but,
certain it is the editors and politicians
on the other side have, for some reason
brought their mirth over the House
majority to a close.
And well they may—for never were
a party of ins so terribly uuhorsed and
discomfitted by the outs. The political
history of Christendom shows nothing
like it in the past, and, it is devoutly
to be hoped, will never show anything
to compare with it hereafter. Every
honest American will pray that the re
cords of the Forty-fourth Congress may
stand alone in the National hi tory, as
well as in the history of all Republican
governments on earth—an awful beacon
of warning to generations to come.
But it is noit-ftlooe in the moral weak
ness and decrepitude of their adversa
ries that the Democrats of the House
loom up in the majesty of comparative
strength—they are now daily teaching
them respect in the conflict of argument.
—in the development ■{' a b ttor politi
cal scholarship, and more extensive

Northern newspapers ..re quoting,
apropos of the death of A. T Stewart,
a letter written oy him to a Southern
merchant, April 29, 1*61, saying:
•‘However extensive may be secession
or repudiation, as long as there are any
.to uphold the sovereignty of the United
States, L shall be among them support
ing the flag.” Mr. Stewart remained
at hour-, and “supported the flag” by
engaging the pr id nets of nearly all the
m ils and selling them to the Govern
ment at a large advance. Mr. Stewart's
motto was ‘‘the old flag—and a profit.”

The House of Representatives is en
titled to credit for the promptness with
which it acted upon the Alabama con
tested election case of Bromberg against
Haralson. The latter is a Republican
and a c. Jo red man; but the evidence in
the case satisfying the Election Com
mittee that ue was legally elected, they
reported unanimously in his favor, and
the report was agreed to. While the
Republicans held a majority in the
House, after that party become infected
with Grantisin. it was the rule to give
Republican contestants seats without
regard to the evidence; aud, where the
testimony against them was so overpow
ering that it was impo>sible to do this,
D-e cases were kept in abeyance. I bus,

certificates that negroes had been pre
vented from voting—it was not even

wo hstanding every member of the
House knew he had no more right to
