€’i)p Italian Herald tfEWNAN, GEORGIA. Saturday MoTning, March 28,1868. Legal Advertisements. The Sheriffs and Ordinaries of Coweta and Carroll counties will hereafter advertise in the Ncwnan Herald. f^'Tf the writer of the article concerning a strange occurrence in Heard connty will send us his true name, we will publish it, otherwise wc will not. flfT*Judge E. Starnes was killed at his resi dence, trtrar Augusta, on the 20th inst., by the accidental discharge of a gun —one report says in his own hands, and another in the hands of his son. warn our readers that Repudiation was inserted in the Constitution to catch white votes, and that if Congress does not reject it the Courts will. Hence any white man who votes for ratification with the hope of relief or repudiation will find that he has been disappointed, and only helped to fasten negro suffrage upon his State. Be ware. the Constitution is ratified it is of the utmost im portance that good men should be chosen to fill the different offices. Therefore, neighbor hood, district and county jeal ousies must be buried. It mat ters not where a man’s residence is, whether in town or country, this or that district, elect him if he is the man for the times.— We hope the Nominating Con vention will be actuated by these views. Neither of the counties of Campbell, Coweta nor Meri wether has a right to designate one of its citizens as Senator, but the three counties together should strive to find out and nominate the best man for the position, it matters not where he may reside. Under the propos ed Constitution the Senate will be a very important body, and it is a question of great moment who should be a member of it. Then we ask delegates to lay aside all district and county jealousies, and. seek the good of the whole people. Let patriot ism sway all their actions in all their nominations. Ku-Kluk Klan. This is a strange word, and must surely have some signification. The word Ku-Kluk which designates a band of Regulators in Texas and other Western States, is supposed to he derived from the Greek word Kuklos, which signifies a circle. But what is this Klan ? Why, evidently the spirits of dead Confederate soldiers, rising out of their graves on battle fields and cemeteries and riding about their beloved country, watching the acts and doings of traitors and conspirators. These spirits have been moved in their graves by the vile, wicked and hellish oppression heaped upon their down trodden, living friends and countrymen. They are the opposers of Radical secret organizations, and will avenge the wrongs committed by Radicalism, having no fear of court or court martial, for these tribunals have no jurisdiction over acts com mitted by ghosts. In all seriousness we assert the opinion that this organization is the natural growth of these disordered times, destined to extend to every Southern city and town, for violence and wrong beget violence and wrong. . We warn those who have been prominent in assisting in hu miliating and insulting Southern whites, to he careful in future and remember the fate of the tiger Robespierre. In that which has been behold that which will be, and there is no new thing under the sun. Impeachment.—In obedience to the summons issued by the Chief Justice, the President, by his counsel, appeared in the Senate on the 13th and asked for forty days time in which to pre pare his answer. He was granted ten days,- and on the 23d his counsel read his answer in which he denied any violation of the laws or Constitution of the United States. The repli cation of the House was read a few days there after, and next Monday was designated for the commencement of the trial, although the Pres ident asked for more time. I he haste with which steps in this importantrcase have been taken will strike every decent man as unjust and disgrace ful. The meanest, vilest criminal, by virtue of the laws and constitution of every State in the Union, receives all necessary time for prepara tion, and cannot be tried only by an impartial jury of his peers. But when the President of the nation is arraigned before a high court of impeachment and asks for time only, for he does not expect impartial jurors, in which to prepare for trial, and when his counsel declare that time is necessary, that justice and prece dent would grant it to him, all of them are treated with contempt, and for party purposes alone, so impartial men must believe, the trial is urged without regard to the rights of the impeached party. Surely the Radical Senators w o thus act cannot hope to escape the stings of conscience, the frowns of just men and the scorn and derision of posterity. Register! Register!! Those qualified but who have not heretofore registered, will have another opportunity of doing so. This is a sacred duty to self, family, friends and government, which no man can escape without severe responsibility. Regis tration must precede voting, and in the coming contest it will not be a struggle for office or men, but for the life of the Constitution given us l>y our fathers. Social existence itself is at stake, and he who docs not raise his arm to strike tt blow for the rights of his race must be viewed as a rlfone in the camp. No time for quibbles. He that is not for us is against us. We suppose due notice of time and place of re-opening the books will be given by the Board. Seventh District.—Col. Atkins, of the In ternal Revenue service, has been nominated as the Radical candidate for Congress in the Sev enth District. Col. Waddell, of Polk, we learn, will probably be bis competitor. Relief.—The Menagerie will finally relieve the people (the white people) of Georgia of abont $200,000, while the Convention of 186-3 cost about $40,000. Declined.—Judge Reese has declined being a candidate for Governor, because he is of the opinion he is ineligible under the acts of Con gress. StAnSs no Chance.—Bullock stands no chance of election. Nearly every respectable white man belonging to the Reconstruction party Inis deserted him. Josh Hill, Parrott, Morrison, Gaskill and Atlanta Opinion, have declared against him. Bullock will not receive a thous and white votes, and not more than two-thirds of the negroes. Mark the prediction. His nomination was a farce—his candidacy is ridic ulous and his defeat certain, and will be over whelming. gff“The white men of Arkansas have voted down the Constitution submitted to them for ratification by the Radical Convention of that State. gJf'Tbe Savannah Republican says there is the unparalleled number of 231 cases on the docket of the United States Circuit Court to be tried in April. ggfTt is rumored that Gen. Meade has deter mined to issue, at an early day, an order post poning all municipal elections until after the 20th of April. Spreading.—Divisions of the Ku-Kluk Klan have been organized in Atlanta and Columbus. At least the mysterious letters of K. Iv. K. have been seen in many places in those cities. flgTTStanton still eats and sleeps in the War Office. ^“Joseph E. Brown was hung in effigy at Kingston a few days ago. The way of the transgressor is hard. Impeachment. SENATOR SALSBURY TEMPTED—THE OBJECT IN VIEW —THE TEMPTER “ORDERED OUT’’—NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT S COUNSEL. I sent you yesterday a brief notice of the “spy ’’ system which has been again introduc ed here; but this perhaps is even less infamous than other tactics adopted by tlie irape ichers to secure the conviction of Andrew Johnson, and thus usurp and seize upon the Executive power of Federal government. It is indeed mortifying to witness the schemas resorted to by the Radicals to secure their ends. I am authorized to allude to an incident which oc curred a few days since, and which illustrates the depth of moral and political degradation which has been reached by the present domi nant party in Congress. An entire and total stranger to the Hon. Williard Saulsbury, Dem ocratic Senator from Delaware, entered that gentleman's room on Friday morning last, and after stating that he had a very superior article of brandy, begged to be allowed the honor of presenting that Senator with a case of it. The infamous movement was at once perceived by Mr. Saulsbury, who promptly ordered the wretched tool of the impeaehors out of his presence. The unfortunate weakness of this Senator was attempted to be u&^l to deprive the Senate of a vote known to be against the Jacobins, and this creature had no doubt been employed to tempt bis well known appetite for intoxica ting drinks, and by placing him under the in fluence of brandy, probably drugged, to keep him from his seat in the Senate. These facts are stated by Senator Saulsbury himself, who declares that he never saw or heard of the in dividual proposing to present him with a case of brandy before or since this transaction. It .is very evident that strangers in Washington have become wonderfully liberal of late, thus to donate cases of brandy, or that there is good reason to suspect a damuing plot against the Senator from Delaware, with a view of having him expelled from the Senate, and thus reduce the Conservative vote. No friend of Mr. Sauls- bury here questions the fact that there was a plot laid by the impeachment schemers. The following is the text of the President’s reply to the summons to appear before the High Court of Impeachment: IN THE MATTER OF THE IMPEACHMENT OF ANDREW JOHNSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Mr. Chief Justice: I, Andrew Johnson, Presi dent of the United States, having been served with a summons to appear before this - honora ble Court, sitting as a Court of Impeachment, to answer certain articles of impeachment, found and presented against me by the hono rable House of Represantatives of the United States, do hereby enter my appearance by my counsel, Henry Stanbery, Benjamin 11. Curtis, Jeremiah L. Black, William M. Evarts and Thomas A. R. Nelson, who have my warrant and authority therefor, and who are instructed by me to ask of this honorable Court for a reasonable time for the preparation of my an swer to said articles. After a careful examina tion of the articles of impeachment and con sultation with my counsel, I am satisfied that at least forty days will be necessary lor the preparation of my answer, and I respectfully ask that it he allowed. (Signed) Andrew Johnson. APPLICATION OF COUNSEL FOR FORTY DAYS' DELAY. In the matter of the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, Henry Stanbery, Benjamin R. Curtis, Jere miah L. Black, William M. Evarts and Thos. A. R. Nelson, of couusel for the respondent, move the Conrt for the allowance of forty days for the preparation of an answer to the articles of impeachment, aud in support of the motion make the following statement: The articles are eleven in number, involving many questions of law and fact. We have, during the limited time and opportunity afford ed us, considered as far as possible the field of investigation which must he explored in the preparation of the answer; and the conclusion at which we have arrived is that with the ut most diligence the time we have asked ip rea sonable and necessary. The precedents as to time for answer on impeachment before the Senate, to which we have had opportunity to refer, are those of Judge Chase and Judge Peck. In the case of Judge Chase time was allowed from the 8d of January until the 11th of Feb ruary, next succeeding, to put in his answer, a period of thirty-two days, but in the case of Judge Peck there was but a single article.— Judge Peck asked for time from the 10th to the 25th of May to put in his answer, and it was granted. It appears that Judge Peck hail been long cognizant'of the ground laid for his i inipeaehmeut, aud had been present before the committee of the House upon the exami nation of the witnesses, and h id been permit ted by the House of Representatives to present to that body an elaborate answer to the charges It is apparent that the President is fairly enti tled to more time than was allowed in either of the foregoing cases, and it is proper to add that the respondents in these cases were lawyers fully capable of preparing their own answers, ami that no presiding official duties interfered with thelt attention to that business; whereas the President, not being a lawyer, must rely on his couusel. The charges involve his acts, declarations and intentions, as to all of which his counsel must be fully ad vised, upon consultation with him, step by step, in the preparation of his defense. It is seldom that a case requires such constant com munication between client and counsel as this ; and yet such communication can only be had at such intervals as are allowed to the President from the usual hours that must be devoted to his high official duties. We further l>eg leave to suggest for the consideration of this honor able Court that, as counsel, careful of their own reputation as of the interest-of their client, in a case of such magnitude as this, so out of the ordinary range of professional experience, where so much responsibility is felt, they sub mit to the candid consideration of the Court that they have a light to ask for themselves such opportunity to discharge their duty as seems to them to be absolutely necessary.

Judge Reese under date of March 23id, acknowledges the reeeipt of the Execu tive Committee’s letter informing him of his recommendation for Governor, he re turns thanks tor the honor conferred, and at one time had consented to become a candidate, lie then says : Madison, Ga. March 23, 18C8. Hon. E. G Oabaniss, Chairman, &c.:— * * * * * From a careful examination of the or dinance of the Atlanta Convention, pro viding for the election of the 20th of April next (which ordinance I had not seen until within the last three days) in coun* ction with the reconstruction laws of Congo ss, 1 am not eligible to the of fice, and could not conscientiously enter upon the discharge of its duties. This reason alone is sufficient to determine my course, for my election, if it could be se cured would be of no practical benefit to the people, in the event of the ratification of the Constitution, unless I could quali fy and discharge the duties of the. office. But I confess that other reasons of strong moral obligation impel me to the same conclusion. I regard the election of Gov ernor and Legislature at- this time of vital importance to all the people of Georgia without distinction of party, class or race. Upon the Governor with the concurrence of the Senate, should the proposed Con stitution be ratified and approved, will devolve the appointment of the entire Judiciary of the State, (the Ordinaries, Judges of Corporation Courts, and one Justice of the Peace in each Militia Dis trict excepted) the terms of office of the Judges of the Supreme Court being fixed at 12 years, that of Superior Court Judges at 8 years, and of the Senatorial District Judges at 4 years. liow essential to praciical good govern ment a wise and pure Judiciary is, I need not now slop to argue. Upon the Legis lature will devolve, with the recommen dation and assent of the Governor, the for mation of the entire frame-work of our laws under the new order of things creat ed by this Constitution, should it be rati fied and approved. IIow important then that the Gover nor should be a wise and pure man, fami liar with the interests and peculiarities of the whole population, and these Legisla tors able and patriotic law makers. How can any man, with a spark of patriotism in his heart, stand in the way of perfect harmony among all good men, without distinctiou of party, and without regard to past differences of opinion, wdio are now disposed to unite in the effort to res cue Georgia from the clutch of grasping adventurers, and greedy plunderers. The good people of Georgia—all the good people of the State—must have, and shall have, if I can bring it to pass, but one candidate for Governor, that all the good may cast their votes upon one good man with a good hope of success. Such a man I regard Judge David Irwin to be —a native Georgian -familiar with the interests, and peculiarities, and wants of our entire population—identified in every respect with the honor and prosperity of the State, and who, I feel every confi dence, if elected, would shape its legisla- lation and mould its judiciary with an eye single to the good of all the people. It is tr.ue that he and I have not always agreed in the past, nor am I prepared to say that we now fully accord in onr views, hut after a diligent inquiry, I am satisfied he can come nearer uniting all, who love Georgia, and would save her from plunder and degradation, than any man within the range of my acquaintance j and the very fact that he is now a candidate, brought out by private solieatation of men of all parties and shades of opinion, (as I happen to know,) will, in my judgment, concentrate upon him a heavier ballot. Will you pardon me, Mr, Chairman, for throwing out these suggestion to you and through you and your Committee to the people of Georgia. I know that in so doiug, I am perhaps transcending the ordinary bounds of a letter, declining a candidacy for office tendered; but my excuse is, that the vital issue before the people is a good Governor or a bad Gov ernor—a Georgian thoroughly identified with her interests, honor, aud glory, or an adventurer with plunderers at his heels; and the further fact, that Judge Irwin being already in the field, even if we could find one man likely to unite the good, honest vote of the State, (which I very much doubt,) it is now too late to cast about for the mau, and the effort to do so would complicate matters, and in the end perhaps insure defeat. One more thought, aud I have done: It is to be hoped that those good men who have not, heretofore, registered for fear of thereby committing themselves to the constitutionality of the Reconstruc tion Acts, will not fail to do so at the earliest opportunity. The issue how pre sented is vastly practical. The question involved in the election of Governor, in my judgment, looking to the powers con ferred-upon him by the proposed Consti tution, is that of self preservation the protection of life, liberty and property. Our people commit themselves, therefore, to nothing by registering or voting. Again thanking the Committee, and the people they represent, for the honor done me, I remain, Yours, very respectfully, Augustus Reese. tore, have yielded the Constitution he had sworn to defend. Yours, truly, M BLAIR. Manton Marble, Esq. A. Proclamation from His Imperial Highness Thaddeus I. Washington, March 11, 1868.* 11 lion. J. W. Forney.—Dear Sir: I have long, and with such ability as I could command reflected upon the sub ject of the Declaration of Independence, and finally have come to the sincere con clusion that universal suffrage was one of the inalienable rights intended to be em braced in that instrument by our fathers ut the time of the declaration ; and that they were prevented from inserting it in the Constitution by slavery alone. “ They had no intention to abandon it as one of the finally-enumerated rights, but simply to postpone it. “The 'Committee .on Reconstruction have inserted that provision, with great unanimity, in the bil^admitting the State of Alabama into the Union. “They have finally resolved that no Stale shall be admitted into the Union unless under that condition. “ I have deemed this notice necessarry that the States now in process of con struction or reconstruction may be advised thereof. Thaddeus Stevens.” A Valuable Political Scrap. LETTER OF MONTGOMERY BLAIR—MR. LINCOLN ESCAPED IMPEACHMENT ON LY IN THE GRAVE. Washington, March 12.— Dear Sir: The World of a recent date publishes what purports to be a note to President Lincoln, signed by twenty five Senators, which, it is said, was presented to him in 1864, with a view to procure my removal from his Cabinet. As several of the signers were then both political and per sonal friends, aud continued so, and some were not at the date aforesaid members of the Senate, I think the paper is of doubtful authority. As my withdrawal from the Cabinet has been a matter of public interest, ail real facts connected with it bear even more forcibly on the arguments for which you adduced the Senatorial letter. I will recall them briefly : The Republican National Convention, you wiil remember, adopted a resolution in purport like the Senatorial note, say ing in effect that the Cabinet should agree with the President in political prin ciple, and appointed a committee to desig nate the person sought to be removed by the Convention. I was the person whose removal was sought; not, indeed, as they pretended, because I disagreed with the President, but really because I agreed with him, and been active and earnest in thwarting the endeavors of the powerful men in the Convention and in Congress to make the dogmas which have now be come the platform of the Radical party the platform of the Republican Conven tion, and to defeat Mr. Lincoln’s nomina tion, whom they then knew, as well as since his proclamation pronouncing the Wade and Davis Reconstruction bill un constitutional, opposed all their schemes. Not appreciating Mr, Lincoln, they be lieved and openly declared that his op position was due to what they called the Blair influence. Hence I offered my re signation when the rasolution was pre sented by the committee. He said they had demanded my removal, but that he would not sacrifice a friend to appease enemies. The pressure continued. The Chairman of the National Committee wrote Mr. Lincoln despairing letters.— Fremont was continued in the field. A new convention was called to meet in Cincinnati on the 30th of September, 1864. Messrs. Wade and Davis, chair men respectively of the Reconstruction Committees of the two Houses, issued a manifesto denouncing him as a usurper, and charging him with opposing con gressional reconstruction aud allowing the Southern people to amend the consti tutions of their States aud reorganizing their State governments under the Con stitution of the United States for the base motive of promoting his own ainbi- tiou At this time the Radicals made mo tions to withdraw their opposition. One of the conditions was the acceptance of my resignation, I insisted that they should be granted, and my father joined very earnestly in this request. Mr. Lincoln’s published letter recog nizing me as a disinterested friend aud a faithful officer, my speech at the Cooper Institute immediately after, giving some of these facts, and contemporaneous his tory fully substantiate all of them. But can proof of the hostility of the Radicals to Lincoln be required when Mr, Wade, who denounced him as a usurper and confederate with rebels for the base purpose of subserving bis own ambition, has been elevated by them to the Presidency of the Senate, with a view to putiing him in Mr. Lincoln’s place, be cause he was and is the true representa tive of their principles and plans ? Or can any one now doubt that they struck me down because 1 was an earnest aud faithful friend of the President, to whom, and not to me, they were hostile? Mr. Lincoln fully recognized thi3 in bis con versation with me at the time, and would, if he had lived, have made it known to the couutry. He overcame his feelings for the time, yielded his friend to the paramount pub lic interest involved in the election ; but it must be remembered that he refused to sanction the Wade and Davis Reconstruc tion bill, which declared the State govern ments of Louisiana and Arkansas null and void, and assumed the power for Con gress to set up governments iu the South ern States, eveu whilst his election was pending; and that in his iast public ut terauces, on the 11th of April, he con demned the action of Congress in refus ing seats to the members from Louisiana and Arkansas. Ho would never, there- From the Knoxville Press and Herald. Knoxville Invaded. The Ku-Klux Klan Organized at tiie Home of Brownlow ! It is our painful duty to announce that the dreaded band of the Ku-Klux Klan lias made its appearance even within the sacred precincts of this holy shrine ol loy alty. At that darkest hour which just precedes the dawn of day, on yesterday morning, a few faithful Africans, just rousing from their slumbers, beheld a ghostly band of mysterious horsemen clad in cerements of white, mounted upon pale gray horses, shod with felt, and one bear ing on high a spotless banner inscribed in characters of vivid flame with the ap palling word “ Revenge !” Not a sound was heard as the ghustly band moved steadily through the street; no clinkliug of scabbard and jingling of spurs resonud- ed on the still morning air; no footfall fell upon the startled ears of the bewilder ed loyalists; but sileutly and calmly, as though moving iu air, that awsome band weut steadily on—on through the street, to the bluff at the river, and over it, marching then as steadily through the thin air to the farther side, and then, just as the first red streaks of dawn were visi ble in the East, the whole squardron van ished suddenly, and the white banner, with its iearful inscription, faded away from sight. As an aged African residing at East- port was proceeding to the spring just be fore daylight yesterday morning, and at the same time that ibis baud was march ing through the streets of Knoxville, he turned to look at his cabin, when, to his dismay, he beheld iu letters of fire upon its walls the following thrilling words: K. K. K. Baker’s Tomb, Eastern Division, Windy Month, Cloudy Day, Bloody Hour. Ku-Klux !—the hour approacheth ! Shake up, dry bones, and meet on the Mysterious Circle of the Hollow Sphere ! From Ea>t aud West, from North and South we come! To measure justice for the traitor’s doom ! When thick darkness reigns, then is the hour to strike ? ! ? ! By order of Great Grand Centaur. Sumy b. Urlagile. The poor Arfriean loyalist fell fainting to the earth, aud remained in a swoon till the warm rays of the rising sun dispelled the darkness, aud trembling he returned to his cabin. In couseqeuenee of these strange man ifestations, the loyal element in our midst was thrown into great excitement yester day. It would seem that the members of the Klan had indeed burst the cerements of the grave and were uow wandering through this soil consecrated by the sa cred tread of our great apostle of loyalty, the sainted Brownlow. Anxious consultations were held yes terday at the headquarters of loyalty.— Something has got to be done, and that quickly. and appreciate it; till the feeling of honor shall awake also with those who cry with the millions, laugh or weep by ordei&of their newspaper, cheer or scorn ad cmi- turn. When a few scanty and poverty-stricken I insurance companies in New York offend ; ed the Jews by an order not to insure their property, there was nois*, meetings, resolutions, etc.; now, when one who out raged the Jew beyond measure or com parison, one who outraged the Jew, the man, and the citizen, the laws of the Uni ted States, and the sacred Caose of justice and humanity, is proposed as President of the United States, nobody has the courage or the rectitude to talk. Is this principle ? Is it manful ? Is it honora ble? Let cowards be silent for utility’s sake, but let men speak out honorably. Grant’s Expulsion of the Jews. “ The Israelite ” has a scathing article on Grant’s brutal Order No. 11, banish ing the Jews, without distinction, from the Department of Tennessee. We ap pend an extract: The Order No. 11. fell most savagely upon the old Jewish residents iu that de partment; but there was no Senator from those States in Washington, except from Kentucky. Therefore, Senator Powell from Kentucky, in behalf of his outraged constituents, iutrodueed in substance the the same preamble and resolution in the Senate, where it was defeated in the most shameful manner, where but J. viz: Messrs Davis, Harding, Latham, Nesmith, Powell, Saulsbury and Wilson, of Mis souri, had the moral rectitude to stand by an outraged class of their fellow citizens. President Lincoln could not persuade himself for a long time that Gen. Grant issued that order; but when Mr. Haskel, of Paducah, Ky. succeeded in convincing him of the fact, be immediately revoked it, aud expressed his indignation at the outrage in the strongest terms, in pre sence of Messis, Guriy Liliemhal aud Wise, from Cincinnati, and Bijur, from Louisville. There was nobody, at the time, to de fend the despotic and barbarous order of Geuerat Graut; not a voice was heard in its favor or defence; but plenty—besides President Lincoln, seven Senators and fifty three members of Congress—in its condemnation. Every free man felt out raged by the lawless ukase of a military chieftain, whom they now want to force upon us as Chief Magistrate of the coun try. We have to say this; As a Jew, we cannot and will not vote for a man who lias done us a more shameless injustice than any man in power in this century has done us in any civilized country. — Therefore we hope and expect that the entire Jewish press will come out boldly and justly against the movement to nomin ate Gen. Grant as President af the United States. Again, as a citizen who loves his country and her free institutions, who considers it his solemn duty to protect justice and fredorn as much as it may be iu his power, we cannot and must not en trust the banner of justice and freedom to the hands of a man who, when posses? sing the brief power of a commander of a volunteer army, (aud among them thous ands of Jews,) abused k so outrageously, and trampled upon his fellow citizens be cause they were too weak to resist. That man, in our estimation, is ungt to be the chief of a republic whose citizens claim equal justice and equal freedom.— Therefore, we hope and expect from all political leaders to drop the scheme of nominating Gen. Grant. As a man, we feel an aversion to every person who dis respects the just claims of humanity and justice, and Gen. Grant, by his Order No. 11. 1S62, is guilty uf that disrespect. That is part of what we have to say on , this point, and we will say it over and over agaicj until the masses shall know An Ohio boy married a well preserved widow of sixty, and his father avenged himselfby wedding the grand-daughter of his new daughter-in-law. “ Mack” says Ben.
