Radical Wire-Pulling.
After the adjournment of the Menagerie, at
! about 10.30, Saturday morning, some members
| thereof immediately resolved themselves into
| a Nominating Convention, pursuant to the
! previous decision of the State Central Execu
tive Committee of the Radical party.
Blodgett called the meeting to order.
Harris, of Savannah, was unanimously elect
ed Chairman, and was immediately conducted : the t
to the Chair.
Marshall was nominated and unanimously
elected Secretary of the Convention. Beaird
(negro) Assistant.
While Harris was taking bis seat, Judge
Dunning entered the Hall, bearing aloft a ban
ner, inscribed with the motto:
The following telegram is sufficiently explicit
when it is remembered that Houston and Craw
ford have heavy negro, while Haralson and
Paulding have heavy white majorities:
Atlanta, March 6.—'Die vote of yesterday
on the partition of Congressional Districts was
reconsidered to-day. The counties of Houston
and Crawford were added to the Third District,
in lieu of Haralson and Paulding abstracted.
Edwards, from Taylor, was unanimously
nominated, this evening, in a caucus of Repub
licans, for Congress from the 1 bird District.
Read and Remember.
In another column we publish the 67th and
lost day’s proceedings of the Menagerie, inclu
ding the names of those voting for and against
the adoption of the Constitution, and those not
voting—yea, skulking. We repeat—read and
remember the names of those who voted to
turn our State over to the negro, and those
who opposed that iniquity, and those who did
not have the courage to let their views be
known.
Adjourned.
The Scullawags and Carpet-baggers in Con
vention assembled, adjourned last Thursday,
subject to the call of the President. Why ad
journ in this manner? Why not sine die? Is
there more dirty work to be done ? Are the
Carpet baggers afraid to complete the job, well
knowing the people cannot stand all at once ?
Well, we feel grateful for the dispersion of the
plotters for a time at least. They have already
tarnished the good name and fame of Georgia,
and God grant we may never see their like
again
At the proper time we will place before our
readers the Constitution framed by them, and,
to the extent of our ability, expose its corrup
tion and deformity.

PROGRESS AND HARMONY
AMONG OURSELVES.

Chairman.
Harris on taking tbe Chair, thanked the
Convention for tbe honor conferred upon him,
at the conclusion of which lie announced tue
Convention ready for business.

that in order to raise and pay to the Conven
tion in advance of the collection of the special
tax. the sum of $55,000, I have had to disre
gard the just claims upon tbe treasury of the
civil service and State Institutions, which I j
onlv did on tbe expectation that the immediate
collection of the tax would enable a return to
treasury of this amount in lime to prevent
anv serious inconvenience arising from its ab-
{ -traction. If the resolution pa-sed by the

were predicated. It the Convention prefer the j

that no occasion may arise when the grave

Sergeant Bate's Tour.
HIS MATCH THROUGH TllE SOITH WITH THE FLAG.
Montgomery, February 25.
You have seen telegraphic mention, that an
ex-soldier named Bates was carrying the flag on
foot throughout the South, and desired some
Sergeant Bates.
The Sergeant arrived in our city Thursday
! afternoon, and was met on the confines ot the
i city by the City Council and a large number of
our citizens, and escorted to the Milledgeviile
I Hotel, where the hospitalities of the city were
| tendered him A short address in behalf of
S the citizens was delivered by Dr. 8- G. M bite.

visited all of the public buildings, and was call-
“ Relief,’' Falsely So-Called—Great stress
is laid upon the so-called ‘'relief’ measure of
the Bradley Convention. This is the trump
card in the hands o ( the scalawags, by means
of which they expect to induce a majority of
the voters of Georgia to ratify their Constitu
tion—knowing, at the time, that their so-call
ed “relief” is not, practically worth a fig.
We unhesitatingly aver that they know it is
not worth a fig. Without any violation of
confidence, we distinctly state, that while in
Atlanta recently we were informed by a gen
tleman of former exalted position and now of
high standing among the Radicals at Washing
ton City, that he had written to the leaders of
that party on the subject, and that in response,
all had assured him that the so-called “relief
measure will either be stricken out of the Con
stitution when it conies before that body, ortho
Convention will be required to strike it out be
fore it will be approved.”
These are the plain facts—they are reliable—
the people ought to know them ; and if they
wish to endorse this attempt to swindle them,
we are determined they shall do so with their
eyes open

Motion was made, and unanimously adopted, j to in the
Gen. Gartrfj.l.—The Atlanta Radical jour
nals. a few weeks since, announced with a flour
ish of trumpets that Lucius J. Gartrell would
stump the State in favor of ratification. It
seems to us that if Gen. Gartrell intended to
pursue that course lie would have taken occa-
ison to have so declared himself at the meeting
ratifying the nomination of Bullock for Gov
ernor. The whole truth is, we expect, the
General had a leaning that way, but the waters
have of late become so troubled that lie fears
to trust his bark upon so stormy a sea. If
such is the fact, it is well for the fame of the
gentleman that he lias become alarmed ; for
no man, however popular heretofore, can lead
the white men of the State into the negro
camp. They will revolt and call the leader so
attempting to a fearful account.
that Mr. W. S. Furay be requested to address
the Convention.
Mr. Furay said be would be extremely glad
to comply with the request of the Convention,
but that his duties were of a different nature
from those which they wished him lo dis
charge, and therefore trusted that lie would
be excused.
Mr. Edwards was now vociferously called
for, who responded.
Blodgett offered the following:
Resolved, That the delegates in this Con
vention, who do not pledge themselves to sup
port the ratification of the new Constitution
and the nominees of this body for Governor
be requested to retire, and that the seats of the
retiring delegates be filled h\ such persons as
may have been appointed iu their respective j
counties.

The Campaign and the Chances of Suc
cess.
If we mistake not ttie Menagerie has ordered,
or requested the commanding General to or
der an election for State and county officers and
on the question of ratification, on the 20th of
April next. At all events, the day of election
will be about that period. Already have the
“niggers and carpet-baggers” of the Menag
erie nominated their candidate, R. B. Bullock,
for Governor. Already hits H. P. Farrow an
nounced himself an independent candidate for
the same office. Already have hundreds, yea,
thousands of good, true and honest men dis
solved their connection with the Radical party.
While this is true, the Radicals have received
no recruits to supply the place of deserters.—
Hence the Conservative party has gained
strength, and is united and compact, ready to
net as one man. Not only is this the fact, but
they enjoy the further advantage of being the
true supporters and defenders of the Constitu
tion of the Union, and of none but correct-
principles. The virtue and intelligence of the
people fight for their success. How stands the
case with their adversaries ? They are divided
among themselves, the votes of nineteen-twen
tieths of their members are illegal, their Con
vention is an unconstitutional body, and every
plank of their platform is rotten, black with
fraud and corruption, and their every measure
is despised and contemned by ninety-nine out
of every hundred white native Georgians.—
Their candidate is unknown to fame, and all
that his friends can say in his behalf is what
we consider treason to the State of his adoption.
As much as can be said of thousands of negroes
in Georgia. On the other hand, in a few days
the Conservative party will—if they resolve to
try their strength, which we believe they will
do—present to the people a true man, a wor
thy man, an honest, capable and faithful man
as their candidate for Governor, with the Con
stitution of the Union for his platform, and
moved and encouraged with the knowledge
that he is in the discharge of a sacred duty in
all that he does, says and feels against Radi
calism.
Moreover, the Constitution which the white
man s party will oppose and the Radicals sus
tain, is one framed by negroes, scallawags and
carpet-baggers, illegally assembled, swelling
with fraud and injustice, yea, is black with
innate corruption, and sends forth a stench
which is strong enough to reach angelic noses.
On the other hand the Conservatives fight for
the continued existence of a Constitution con
taining the collected wisdom of ages, and
which has commanded the love and veneration
of the true and good from the hour of its
adoption to these disjointed times.
In a coutest between such parties so differ
ently actuated, we cannot for a moment donbt
which will be victorious.
The Menagerie assembled at 2 o’clock, p. m.
Bryant moved that when the Convention
adjourns it adjourn subject to the call of the
President. The motion prevailed.
The hour of 3 o’clock, p. m., having arrived
—the hour to which the Constitutional Con
vention of Georgia adjourned—ou motion of
Bryant the Convention adjourned.

Immediately upon the adjournment of the
Constitutional Convention, A. L. Harris called
the Convention to order.
Whiteley presented the majority and minor
ity reports of the committee to provide for
representation and other matters connected
with the permanent organization of the Con
vention, not previously provided for.
Whiteley moved that the report ot the com
mittee on organization be adopted, except that
portion which requires a majority to nominate.
Adopted.
Whiteley moved that the report of tbe mi
nority of the committee be adopted requiring
a two-third majority to nominate.
The motion was lost.
On motion of Blodgett, the Convention
adopted the report of the majority of the com
mittee, and determined that a majority of the
Convention should nominate.
The Convention proceeded to nominate a
candidate for Governor.
Blodgett presented to the Convention as
Republican candidate for Governor lion. R. B.
Bullock, of Richmond.
On motion of McCay, Col. Bullock was nom
inated by acclamation as Republican candidate
for Go' ernor.
Col. Bullock having been loudly called for,
addressed the Convention in a few pointed re
marks, as follows:
Mr. President ond Gentlemen of the Convention:
My feelings would bid me keep quiet on an
occasion like this; but I am unable to resist
the temptation to say that I plant myself
squarely on the Constitution which we have
just framed, and the principles of the Union
Republican party of Georgia.
On motion of Blodgett, the Convention then
took a recess of twenty minutes.
After re-assemblirig, Blodgett moved the ap-
pointmet of a committee of seven, one from
each Congressional District, to nominate dele
gates to the National Republican Convention.
Carried.
The Chair appointed, ns that committee,
Messrs. Seeley, McCay. Edwards, Whitehead,
of Butts, Conley, Hotchkiss and Dunning.
Mr. Hopkins moved the appointment of a
committee of three to wait on Col. Bullock to
notify him of his nomination as Republican
candidate for Governor, and request h'S accep
tance. Carried.
The Chair appointed, as that committee,
Messrs. Hotchkiss, Dunning and Blodgett.
Gov. Brown. Gen. Gartrell and Col. Furay
were requested to address the Convention this
evening.
On motion, the Convention adjourned till
o’clock this evening.
At 7.} o’clock, p. m., the Convention re-ns-
sembled, and was addressed by Gov. Brown,
Gen. McCay, Col. Farrow, Col. Broyles, Col.
Wimpy, Col. Furay and Dr. Bard.
After adjournment, the band, which had
been in attendance during the meeting, pro
ceeded with the members of the Convention
to the National Hotel, where a serenade was
given to Col. Bullock—and the serenaders re
freshed themselves after the usual manner.

who had accompanied them ranging themselves

Mr. Bingham arose and said, holding the

The Chair then said:
“The Sergeant-at-Arms will make procla
mation.”
The Sergeant-at-Arms then said:
“Hear ye, hear ye. All persons are com
manded to keep silence, ou pain of imprison
ment, while the House of Representatives is
exhibiting to the United States Senate articles
of impeachment against Andrew Johnson, Pres
ident of the United States.”
Mr. Bingham then rose and commenced read
ing the articles as before reported.
During the reading the managers remained
standing, with the exception of Mr. Stevens,
who, after a few moments took his seat, look
ing quite exhausted.
Speaker Colfax, ou motion of Mr. Hendricks,
was invited to take a seat by the Chair.
But few of the Democratic members of the
House were present in the Senate.
Every person kept perfectly still while Mr.
Bingham was reading articles. The galleries
were closely packed, and hundreds of people
stood in the halls and corridors, unable to get
even a glimpse of the inside proceedings.
At the conclusion of the reading of the arti
cles, which occupied thirty minutes, Vice Pres
ident Wade said:
“The Senate will take due order and cogni
zance of the articles of impeachment, of which
due notice will be given by the Senate to the
House of Representatives.
The House then withdrew, with Mr. Dawes,
as Chairman of the House in Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union, to the hall
of the House.
Chief Justice Chase Dissents from the
Rules Adopted by the Senate, and Re
bukes the Impeachers for Hasty Ac

The following is the communication from
Chief Justice Chase, which was laid before the
Senate on the 4th inst.:
To the Senate of the United States:
Inasmuch as the sole power to try impeach
ment is vested by the Constitution in the Sen
ate. and it is made tire duty of the Chief Jus
tice to preside when the President is on trial, I
take the liberty of submitting, very respect
fully, some observations in respect to the pro
per inode of proceeding upon the impeachment
which has been preferred by t-ue House of
Representatives 'against the President now in
office. That when the ^Senate sits for the trial
of an impeachment it sits as a court, seems
unquestionable. That for the trial of

’em, they’re like the Injuns on the plains.—
They’re just like the Camanches by nature.—
They possess no generosity.’
Now, continued the sergeant, I was in a bad
humor that day. not that I often am ; general
ly I’m in a good lmmor, but I got a little an
gry. a little excited, iu fact, I can t know what
put it in my bead, but says I, are you in ear- j business
ucst ? “ Y es,” says be, “ they d tear the flag
down and trample it under foot.” Well, says
I, I’m a poor man and can’t afford to leave
my family, but, if you’ll give inc a dollar a
day for them, I’ll go to Vicksburg—I don't
know what made me think o! \ icksburg, per
haps, because it was the backbone of the re
bellion—without money, and then through
the South with the flag, unarmed. So after
some more talk, they drew up the writings
there in regular lawyer form, and we agreed
on it. Pretty soon lie insisted on my receding.
“ For God’s sake give it up,” said he, “you
won’t get ten miles from Vicksburg and he
honestly believed, and so did others, and tried
to persuade me not to go I he man that
made the proposition tried again saying. “I'd
never.get to Washington, that I'd be wiped
out, then all the neighbors would blame him
for it.” But it was no use. I was determined
to go then and just here the plucky grapist look
ed as firm as if he was at his gun ready for ac
tion. Then he resumed’
This is the agreement : To enter Vicksburg
without money and carry the United States
flag from there to Washington on foot, through
all cities and towns, ami by all collections of
people, and carry the flag unfurled. Of nights
and during storms to furl the flag, provided I
passed through no such cities or towns, and by
no such collections of people. And not to
travel by night and at all times to be unarmed.
To employ, if I wished, one person as guide,
but to have no person or persons to protect me
day or night, though any might accompany
me who desired voluntarily. One dollar a day
to be paid my family in case I got to Washing
ton, but if the flig was insulted or I while
bearing it, the one dollar a day to be forfeit
ed.
That's the agreement, and the way I came
to take tiie walk, and up to the present time
the feeling has l»een intense. Confederate
soldiers have conic from forty-five miles oft my
line to serenade me and take me by the hand.
In three cases women have come with their
children and cried, and the old men would
show tears. Here, at Montgomery, just out
side tlie city, a young lady decorated the flag
with laurel and flowers. Her father, a large
! planter who suffered a good deal I guess, in the
i war had his cotton burned, a large amount of
| it, his gin house burned, and the ladies s car-
j riage tilled inside with brush and turned, up-
i side down and burnt by Wilson or some of ’em,
I came out with me when I started, to bid me

Bankruptcy of Prince Petroleum.
John W. Steel, familiarly known as ‘Johnny’
Steel, and somewhat distinguished as an “ oil
prince,” having for a considerable length of
time enjoyed the princely income of $3000 per
day, filed in the United States District Court
last week, a voluntary petition iu bankruptcy.
Many of our readers will remember his roman
tic exploits in the East, published some time
ago, during which lie is reported to have
squandered several hundred thousand dollars.
‘ — ' sowed his wild oats,” and los
ing ins »nptrm. be found hiinsolt in rather
s raitend circumstances, and was recently com
pelled to earn a living l y driving au oil team.
His indebtedness, as set forth in his petition,
amounts to over 100,000.
Steel is a Pennsylvanian by birth, and is now
in the neighborhood of twenty-three years of
age. He has had but little education, has no
qualifications or shrewdness, and
seems especially cut out by Dame Nature to
attest the truth of the proverb that “A fool
and his money are soon parted.” Of his early
youth we know very little; manhood and
riches sprang upon him about the same time.
His interest in the famous M'Clintock farm
and oil wells, in Venango county, bequeathed
him by his father, for a number of years yield
ed him an income of $3,0b0 per day. This
princely income was the means of awakening
in “Johnny” an ambition to seek other fields
and sources of amusement than those offered
in the wilds of Venango. We heard of him
first by bis lavish waste of wealth in Philadel
phia. Here he made the acquaintance of
Messrs. Skiff & Gaylord, of minstrel fame, and
one of his first rash purchases was an entire
new outfit for the minstrels, composed of vel
vet coats and pants and plain trowsers (many
of our readers will remember the troupe in
this uniform). To those eccentric costumes
lie added diamond breastpins of the first water,
and a new suit of clothes for each member
for the street. Several members of Carucross
& Dixey's minstrels, of Philadelphia, were
favored in the same manner.
Another of “Johnny’s” eccentric acts in
Philadelphia is related as follows ; Walking
along Chesnut street one day with a friend, lie
espied a beautiful span of horses attached to a
splendid carriage, just turning down from Se
cond. To see was to envy ; so hailing the
driver, Sam. M , who, as it happened, was
also the owner, “ Johnny ” coolly asked him
if he would sell his establishment. Sam. look
ed credulously at the customer, wondering if
he were drunk or crazy, when Johnny again
put forward the question : “ What will you
take for the whole rig ?” Sam. with a wink,
and while knocking the ashes from his cigar,
doubtless thinking to frighten his unknown
questioner, replied, “Well, I guess about $7000
will take the lot.” “Johnny” answered by
laying seven one thousand dollar bills on the
seat of the vehicle, and taking hold of the
reins, coolly said, “Hop out;” and “hop
out ” Sam. did, while “Johnny” drove off,
leaving Sam. standing in amazament on the
corner. The day was spent in riding about
the city, and spending money lavishly ; toward
he had employed a man to drive, and
really need this relief—being hope!
debt. If they heed the siren song of the Con
vention, they will ultimately find themselves
left at the mercy of their creditors.—Athens

the means of defraying the expenses of the

and directed him to confer with members of
the Convention, and arrange such plans as
would be acceptable and were practicable.—
The Governor informed me that ou his pro

thousand dollars, the Convention would dis-

j It will readily suggest itself to any one who
■ reflects on the ability and learning in the law
| which distinguishes so many Senators, that,
{ besides the reason assigned in the Federalist,
i there must be another for the proposition re-
! quiring the Chief Justice to preside in a court

! Vice President succeeds, and it was doubtless

my General Order, No. 24, aud in lieu thereof succession should not preside in a proceeding
would be satisfied with the issue of certificates
of indebtedness to be countersigned by the
Comptroller General and to be paid at the
State Treasury whenever the special tax was
collected. This arrangement was approved by
me; the money—$15,060—will be paid to the
Disbursing Officei of the Convention; and the
Comptroller General is now here, prepared to
countersign the certificates of indebtedness
whenever presented to him by the Disbursing
Agent of the Convention. Having thus ful
filled my part of the proposed arrangement, I
was somewhat surprised to see a resolution in
the morning paper, purporting to have been
passed yesterday, requiring the Tax Collectors
to take up from the holders all such scrip or
warrants as may be presented to them, and
which have been issued by the Provisional
Governor or Comptroller General, to pay the i
members and officers of the Convention. In
asmuch as this resolution is not in accordance
with the understanding had with the Provis
ional Governor, as reported to Lie by that
officer, and as there are besides grave objec
through which a vacancy might be created.
It was not doubted that the Senate, while
sitting in its ordinary capacity, must necessa
rily receive from the House of Representatives
«ome notice of its intention to impeach the ,
President at its bar; but it does seem an un
warrantable opinion, in flew of this constitu
tional provision, that the organization of the
Senate as a court of impeachment, under the !
Constitution, should proceed to the actual an-
nouncement of impeachment on the part of i
hud the stuff in my hand, arid he grasps it anti

Whole towns would come out to see me. Soon
as the flag ivould heave iu sight whole towns
would turn out aud run—here tue sergeant
grew excited in his reminiscence and haff rose
fiom liis cha:r and waved his arm aloft—run
like a charge of infantry to welcome me and
extend the hand of friendship. Before m>on,
as I would be walking along, I have had invi
tations to dinner all along. In one case they
amounted to fifteen. I counted ’em. They
would run out and say, “Come sergeant, din-
m r’s all reidv and you must stop and eat
You see. if I d stopped before dinner,
not have got five miles a day. At \ icksburg
all crowded out to see me and every body want
ed to shake hauls, and they crowded around,
so the Mayor had to open a path through for
me to start. Everybody wanted to shake hands
and almost every hand had money. I refused
all but one man s hand. I saw it was white—
a gentleman’s hand—it clasped mine and left
a silver half dollar. That I kept. At Selma,-
ex-Governor Moore—governor of Alabama
when the ordinance of secession was passed—
wanted me to take quite an amount of his
private purse, and wanted me to stay at his
house, so that it could be seen that the rebels
wouldn't hurt me. And now, said the ser-
up to the office, he made known his desire to ! taxes for Licenses and taxes upon Carriages,,
“ stop awhile.” The clerk asked him as to | Billiard Tables, Silver Plate ar.d other enumer-
the whereabouts of his baggage : “Johnny” re
plied that he had none. “Then,” says the
clerk, “you must pay in advance ; that is our
rule.” “Johnny” cast a glance at him, and
wondered that he was not ’known. So, wink
ing at his friend B., he asked the clerk if the
proprietor was in ; receiving a reply in the af
firmative, the landlord soon made his appear
ance, when a conversation of the following
tenor ensued :
J. S.—“ You are the proprietor, I believe
sir—the responsible man ?”
Mr. K.—“ Yes, s;r.”
J. S.—“ I wanted to make a short stay with
you, but that gentleman (pointing to the clerk)

till less unwarranted opinion that articles of
impeachment should oniy be
court of impeachment; that no
or process should issue only from an organized
court, and that rules for the government of
the proceedings of such court should be framed
only by the court itself.
I have found myself unable to come to any
other conclusions than these. _I can assign no
