The Sheriffs and Ordinaries of Coweta and Carroll counties will hereafter advertise in the Newnan Herald. 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. NEW ME N! PROGRESS AND HARMONY AMONG OURSELVES. t Judge Dunning, on arriving at the rostrum, ! planted the standard immediately back of the 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. abie to give mv approval to it, and ray reason? thtr. for, which reason?, I trust, will be ac ceptable to the Ccnveation : My reasons are. 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 ; Convention is sanctioned, it will t: ke from the I financial officers of the State the means of car rying out the plans on which the affiances were predicated.

All good citizens will fervently pray that no occasion may arise when the grave proceedings now in progress will be cited as a precedent. Inasmuch, therefore, as the Con stitution has charged the Chief Justice with an important function on a trial of impeachment of the President, it has seemed to be fitting and obligatory, where he i- unable to concur in the views of the Senate concerning matters essential to the trial, that his respectful dissent S.

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. ! The Sergeant left on Saturday at 9 o'clt>ek for I Sparta. During his stay in Milledgeviile he 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 On motif action < lates to th 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.

On Saturday Hendricks withdrew his motion, and Wade was sworn. On motion, a summons was issued directed to the President, and re turnable Friday, March loth, to which day the Court adjourned. 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. oJ“t^ Election.— Gen.

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.

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 tion. 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 get out of sight ?

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 (From the Pittsburg Leader.) 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 Southern Watchman. Georgia State Bonds and Coupons.

I was resting, and , “ stop ntiallv prune lit me; doubt upon stated, and serve to i:itr think it my flections to t avoided, this was perhaps the ;ius. This authority leaves no either of tbe propositions just the statement- of them will oduce the question upon which I duty to state the. result of my re- t.e Senate, namely: At what time, j in case of au impeachment of the President, ! should the court of impeachment be organized i under oath as directed in the Constitution ?— 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 | of impeachment under the Constitution. In | case of a vacancy in the office of President the ! Vice President succeeds, and it was doubtless pense with the issue of scrip, authorized by thought prudent- and befitting that the next in 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 comes up long side me and says: “You’re North and I'm South, and that’s as it should be, both under ihe shadow of the flag. ”— 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) the House, and it may perhaps be thought a ! geant, breaking short off in a most amazing 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 : reason for requiring the Senate*to orgauizs as a court under qny other than its ordinaay presi ding officer for impeachment of , manner and Liking a dip into politics, 1 tell presented by a j you the Southerners are fighting negro eqnali- other summons ty alone ; not the dag.
