A Great Speech.
Members
Is'DKPEHMWT.—Iii the classification of Demo
crats and Radicals elected 1 t^-the House, we
notice that Mr. F. M. SbrOggin, one of the | soaring above the mephitic moral atmosphere
It annoyS-ns no little, says the Macon Tele
graph, that our space is so circumscribed that
wC'are unable to spread the entire speech of
Mr. Evarts in defense of the President, before
our readers. It is an intellectual treat to
which they have been unaccustomed since the
Websters, the Choats and Berriens have passed 1
away. It is a luminous and lofty production,
Elect to the
Senate.
Legislature—
JirpropetTtAtivea efcrtcd from this county, is
counted ?vs a ItadUSii. 'I his is a mistake, and
we arc auTfihrlzdd 'td state that Mr. Scroggin
considers that he was elected as an independent
candidate, and hfcnce is not committed to the
principles or policy of the Radical party.
Tiik Banner County.—A writer in the At
lanta Intelligencer disputes the claim of Hous
ton to the title of “Banner County,’’ and
speaks up for Quitman ag follows:
We claim the honor for “Young Qjiitman
County.” It is said “ figures do not lie,” and
to these we appeal for a religious decision.—
In Houston county the registered vote stands:
t<20 w bites, 2,526 colored—aggregate, .3,446.
Majority for Gordon, 334. In Quitman the
registered votcstnnds: 308 whiles,398 colored;
Gordon’s majority, 350. •
In Quitman, Bullock received only six votes,
till told, only one vote to <m>ry 06 negroes;
while Gordon received every white man’s vote,
and about one-sixth of tote-negro vote': From
these figures it will be seem that, had .“old
Houston” done as well, Gordon’s majority
would have been 1,195 instead of 334.
Now, can any other coutity'in'Georgia show
so clean a record? Is not “young Quitman,"
instead of “old Houston, 1 ’ entitled to the
palm? VV’e claim for her the honor of being
“ The Banner County.” Honor to whom honor
is due. Glorious old Houston, but still more
glorious young Quitman. Waive the palm.
Gen. W. S. Hancock.
The question, Who shall he the National
Democratic nominee for President ? is very ex
tensively canvassed throughout the limits of
the Union. To answer this question satisfac
torily we must ask what manner of man should
he be to insure success? Evidently the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency should
he a citizen of some Northern State, and whose
war record is endorsed by the party of that
aection and net inexcusably obnoxious to the
whitmrpeople of the South. He should now he
sound in the faith, and give evidence of his
honest desire for the restoration ot the Union
upon the basis of the Constitution, If the party
can nominate such a candidate his election is
certain. On the other hand, if a Peace Demo
crat of the Valjandighara school is chosen stand
ard-hearer of the party, his defeat is inevitable,
because the wing known as War Democrats
will not support him, if at all, at least with no
degree of zeal. It would also he equally fatal
to place in nomination a soldier, he he private
or General, who has been guilty of cruelty and
theft and oppression during our late struggle,
for the Peace Democrats North and the white
men South would feel entirely lukewarm or
refuse to vote. We repeat, the nominee must
have taken a position between the honest and
glorious Yallandigham and the thieving Butler.
Well, is there such an one? We think so.—
Gen. Sherman is not the man, for his barbarity
towards the citizens of Atlanta, and his wanton
destruction of the cities of Atlanta and Colum
bia will render him forever odious to thousands
of good and-true Democrats Noith and South.
Moreover, Sherman has not given sufficient
evidence of his devotion to Democratic princi
ples since the conclusion of the war to merit
the position. Steadman has not the reputation
*>r popularity. The same of Rousseau and
many others of like standing.
The question then recurs, Who is the man
who was an honest War Democrat during the
war, has since Lee’s surrender taken a bold
stand for the rights and liberties of the down
trodden whites of the South, and who is at the
same time the fortunate possessor of sufficient
ability to make a good Federal Executive ?—
We have no hesitation in giving the name of
Gen. W. S. Hancock. The proof to substan
tiate these assertions is abundant. No reader
of history need he told of Hancock’s gallantry
and military skill. Ilis informed enemies con
cede him these. His career as Commander of
the Fifth Military District is fresh in the minds
of every' newspaper reader. His General Or
ders,.issued from his Headquarters, were replete
with glorious Democratic doctrines, and thrill
ed the (land with their eloquence, and left no
doubt ou the mind of the reader as to their
author’s learning and qualifications for any
office in the gift of the American people. Not
only is he a brave and true, but he is a bold
and fearless man. When he assumed com
mand at New Orleans the hopes of the lovers
of liberty ware dead. The iron heel of the
depostic Sheridan had crushed, while the ruling
party North were jubilant over the death-
throes of the principles purchased with the
blood of the heroes of ’76. The timid were
awed into silence, and none but the unterrified
would dare give expression to opinions at all
in conflict with Radicalism. Unawed by the
darkness of the hour or the prospective wrath
of an infatuated Congress, Hancock gave utter
ance to his sublime sentiments in favor of the
birth -rights of American citizens. These orders
eventually lost him his place, hut not his prin
ciples. Now here is a man popular North with
the War Democrats, because of his successful
military caretr, popular with the Peace Demo
crats because he is a true Democrat in principle,
and popular with whites South because he
sought to restore to them constitutional liberty.
In brief, General Hancock am combine, as no
other man can, the various divisions of his
party and awaken an enthusiasm like unto
that which swelled the bosoms of Jackson's
followers.
Hancock is the man for the times, and liis
nomination will be equivalent to his election
In the coming contest the Democracy cannot
afford to be defeated—for a Radical victory is
the death knell of the last hope of Republican
ism on the American continent While we do
not wish to he considered as disapproving the
course of the Peace Democrats, or willing to
6«e them sacrificed, still wje feel that we sur
render no principle in urging Hancock’s nomi
nation. We believe the South will be poten
tial in the nominating Convention, and we do
hope her united voice will be for Hancock,
thereby demonstrating that we freely forgive
those who fought agahysi us, provided they
were honest in their views then, but are now
willing to give us equality in the Union.
of the times and completely immersing a great
question in a flood of light and truth.
The correspondent of the Boston Post thu3
refers to the orator’s appearance and the effect
of his speech upon the managers, Senators,
and crowded galleries:
SPEKCn OK MR. EVARTS.
Order having been restored, this frail human
being, this intellectual giaut,.arose, seemingly
unconscious that all eyes were upon him, and
•went straight to his work, occasionally casting
a glance at the manuscript before him. Ex
pectation was high, but Evarts far surpassed
it. Groesbeck’s was a great speech, but Ev
arts has taken a larger view of the subject.—
His discussion of the powers of government,
personifying them and bringing them all with
in the wall of the Ser.a'e chamber there, in
deadly strife, was a picture of rare grandeur
and beauty. Who is not fumiliar with the
Presidential oath? And yet, when Evarts
described its nature and character, Senators
were observed to exchange glances, and several
ventered 10 whisper their comments.
“ The President was sworn to protect, de
fend and preserve the Constitution. The peo
ple had required him to swear that he would
do this thing, and yet he had looked upon
Congress violating that sacred instrument in
the attempt to throttle the Supreme Court in
order to defeat great public interests, as well
as to deny protection to individual liberty.”—
This indictment made some of the impeachers
look wild, but when he reacLed the question,
whether the Senate was a Court, manager
Butler made it convenient to leave the cham
ber, and the other managers looked like poor
men at a frolic. If the altar around which
they had gathered was not an altar of justice,
then, said Mr. Evarts, it is an altar of sacrifice,
and he demanded to know to what divinity it
had been erected, whether to base party pas
sion and prejudice. The speaker here intro
duced the opening paragraph of Judge Spen
cer’s speech when acting as a manager in the
impeachment of Judge Peck, and it was a per
fect bomb-shell. Judge Spencer said that no
party feeling had entered into the considera
tion of the case by the House of Representa
tives, and had it been otherwise ho would not
have been present as one of the managers as
be would have scorned himself if he could
allow party feeling to influence him on such
an occasion,
Mr. Evarts, leaning forward towards the
managers, repeated: “Yes, scorned himself it
he could have been biased by party considera
tions.” The honorable managers in their
pitiable condition were fit subjects for sympa
thy, but Mr. Evarts continued, commenting on
the argument of manager Butler, that the
Senate was not a Court, and, stepping forward,
exclaimed: “If this is not a Court it is a scaf-
Lid, and you, Senators, arc the headsmen to
do the bidding of the House." A feeling of
awe ran through the whole t hamber and thrill
ed every hearer. “ Oh, Senators, you are told
by the honorable manager (Butler) that you
are not bound to observe your judicial oaths;
but 1 tell you,” said the speaker, “and tell you
upon high authority, that ‘thou shall not take
the name of the Lord thy God in vnin, for the
Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh
Ilis name in vaiu,”’ The effect of this quota
tion can better be imagined than described.—
A more solemn scene was never witnessed in
Court or Senate, and under its influence the
Senate adjourned.
Marriage of Gf.n. Hood.—We find the fol
lowing pleasant announcement in the New Or
leans Picayune of Friday:
We have a pleasant surprise to give our
readers. The gallant, brave, and universally
beloved Gen. Hood was married yesterday
evening to Miss Anna Hennen, daughter of the
late Duncan N. Hennen, Esq.
The hero of this, as well ns a great many
other, but very different engagements, was
surrounded by a number ot his comrades in
arms, among whom we noticed Gens. Buckner,
Bragg, Hays, Wheeler, Maury and Scott. Al
so such friends of his in peace as Messrs. M.
Mnsson, T. A. Adams, Pike, etc.
Gen. Hood may rest assured that from every
Southern household will go up, upon reading
this announcement, most hearty prayers for
the continued happiness of himself and of her
who has linked her happiness with his, and
surrendered her name to one whose own is
written on the tablets ol fame iudelibly.

tion, they voted as their consciences ap
proved, rathe? than in accord with the
dictation ot their employers. It is a fact
not less humiliating than true, that sim

scores of citizens have been thrown out
of employment, and those dependent upon
their daily labor deprived of the necessa

I will not insult your intelligence by
ftn attempted argument condemnatory of
this unjust and unprecedented proscrip
tion, incited by seditious newspaper ap
peals to the baser passions of men. I am
content with calling your attention to the
fact, and asking for prompt and suitable
action in reference thereto. Apart from
other considerations, humanity calls upon
you to aid these men wljo refused to sacri

As the employers who hgve tliqs acted

temporary rations be issued to needy par

astonished to see another fine crop growing,

Rancock and Adams are good revolutionary
names. The country needs that prominence
should be given to a few such names to bring
the minds of the people hack to the times and
ideas of the first revolution, and in order to
pqt a stop to the present one.—N. T. Citizen.
A Curious Case.—A most curious occur
rence happened in the Prussian province of
Posen, Some days ago a poor woman f
sick, and as she felt she was near her end, she
sent for the priest. Sha subsequently con
fessed to him that she, about thirty years ago,
having been delivered of a boy, substituted
her own child for the child ot a Countess, in
whose’employ she was. Neither the nurse nor
the Countess became aware of the exchange,
and thus it remained until to-day. Her own
boy was educated as a Count, and has married
the daughter of a very proud nobleman, while
the real Count., having grown up in poverty,
weutout to service married, and is now living
not far from his princely estate of Komornik,
with his own children. The woman said she
could not die without confessing this sin. The
priest applied at once to the authorities, and
an investigation has been commenced.
Gen. Hancock as a Candidate.—It is highly
^ratifying to notice the unanimous approval
in slfseetions of the country with which the
name of Gen. Hancock is received in connec
tion with the Presidency. He of all others is
the man for the crisis. No one would he more

A" dispatch from Mngadala, April 13th,
sets forth the particulars of tfie battle in
which King Theodqrus was killed, and
whiph ends the abyssiqian war, sq far as
the object for which it was undertaken is
concerned. The dispatch says ;
A truce which had been agreed upon
between General Napier and King Theo

the captives, Major Geceral Napier placed
himself at the head of the first and second
brigades of his army, and moved up the
hill towards the fortress to Shila>se. This
portion of the strong works built was sur
rendered to Napier by the chiefs in com
mand, after a brisk attack in which the
African troops were defeated. Kiug
Theodorus, observing the English ad
vance and its first fruits retreated into
the center of the Mugdala works on the
plateau, having first planted five of his
guns at the base. When General Napier
came in sight with his brigade, the King’s
artillerymen opened on the advances with
these guns in presence of Theodorus.
The British replied immediately with
their twelve pounder Armstrong guns
and seven-inch mountain mortar rocket
guns, throwing rocks into thg pjgpe.
After enduring this fire for a short tjme,
King Theodorus absconded his guns
and still retreating inward, barricaded
the sally ports, and commenced a fire of
musketry from behind his gates and wall
defences. Tfre iVtys.qpians evincing no

which are genuine. The following letter from
a highly educated and popular physician in
Georgia, is certainly one of the most sensible
communications I have ever received. Dr.
Clement knows exactly what he speaks of, and
his testimony deserves to be written in letters
of gold. Hear what the Doctor says of BULL’S

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have recently
given your “ Worm Destroyer” several trials,
and find it wonderfully efficacious. It has no£
failed in a single instance to have the wished-
for effect- I am doing a pretty large country
practice, and have daily use for some article of
tl;e kind. I aiu free to confess that I know of
no remedy recommended by the ablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On
the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme.
My object in writing to you is to find out uuon
what terms I can get the medicine directly
from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, I
shall use a g>eat deal of it. I am aware that
the use of such articles is contrary to the teach
ings and practice of a great majority of the
regular line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause
or good sense in discarding a remedy which we.
know to be efficient, simply because we may be
ignorant of its combination. For my pari, I
shall make it a rule to use all and any means
to alleviate suffering humanity which 1 may be
able to command—not hesitating because somo
one more ingenious than myself may have
learned its effects first, and secured the solo
right to use that knowledge. However, I am
by no means an advocate and supporter of the
thousands of worthless nostrums that Hood
the country, that purport to cure all manner
of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please
reply soon, and inform me of your best terms
1 am. sir, most respectfully,

•Qr.e Military Mayor and Council have
discovered a new principle in politics, and
inaugurated a new policy in party govern
ment. The proceedings of that so-called
Mayor and Common Council—civil au
thorities by military appointment, which
appeared in our issue oi Saturday, conr
tains li a message ” recommending 44 the
issue of rations ” by the the city authori
ties to those who voted the Radical ticket,
and an “ additional tax,” if necessary,”
to be levied 44 on our largest taxpayers
to cairy out 44 this humane design.”—
This is certainly and advance ip the scienpe
of politics. The ration system is the off
spring of the Freedman s Bureau. It
has been found so effective as an elec
tioneering artifice »s to make it so desira
ble, that it should be engrafted upon
municipal government. W ith the con
tinuation of P ur present status this strate
gy is quite Napoleonic. It is the strate
gy by which, the 44 Son of my uncle”
governs. £b e Sans Culottes of Paris. It
works weU ip Imperial Governments—
why not in military ? This new Repub
lican doctrine may be generalized as fol
lows : It is very natural and proper that
men should prefer employees indentified
with their opiuions and interests, and
should give them the preference over
those who oppose them; nevertheless it
is ** fho fcuum 06 desigg ” ftf the dominant
party to make “ our largest fax-payers ’
support those who oppose tbcU interests*
free of charge. We have a single sug
gestion to make—the support should be
pot only free from chargVbut liberal $lso.
The Price of Gandy Reduced to suit the Times.
To which we ask the attentiom of the
WHOLESALE and KETAIL TRADE,
tferee hours j when it terminated,
British commanders ordered an assault,
which was made in fine style. The King’s
works were carried,after a very vigorous re
sistance ou the part of the enemy. Theo
dorus lost, during the engagement, s xty
men killed and two huudred wounded.—
The English army had fifteen of the rank
and file wounded.
After the works were completely taken,
King Theodorus was found dead by the
English soldiers He was shot through
the head. Some persons say that he was
killed during one of the battles, others
incline to the opinion that he committed
suicide, when he found the fortune ot the
day against him. The King’s bqdy was
recognized, among the kU} e d an d wound
ed, by the British captives, when releas
ed. Theodorus’ two sons were taken
prisoners by Napier, and all the European
prisoners, held hy their deceased father,
set free. The interior of the fortress
pf Magdija presented an extraordinary
and splendid sight, the place glowing
almost with barbaric splendor! The
British troops plundered at once. The
men found four royal crowns made of
sojid gold, twenty thousand dollars in sil
ver ; thousands of sifver plates, several
lots of very rich jewels, and numerous
other articles of great value. Ggn. Na
pier takes, by his victory, the twenty-
eight large gnns just used against him,
Ive thousand stand of small arms, ten
thousand shields, such as are used in bat
tle in the open field by the Abyssinians,
ten thousand spears, and many articles of
wjir equipment. The liberate^ British
captives will start for home oq the lltli
of April. Gen. Napier’s army jvill reor
ganize, fall in and return to India and
England at once. A dispatch dated Zou-
Ju, "April 18, says the very latest reports
had at that point from the scene of action
in Magdala, represent that 14,0QQ native
troops had laid dowq tjieir arms to Napier,
and that Theodorus had 500 soldiers kill
ed and 1,500 wounded in the late engage
ment. Advices from Rapier’s headquar
ters in Magdala, without date, are also at
hand. They state that the Europeans
lately held captive there, numbering sixty
souls, including m eD > women, and chil
dren, were already on the route to Zoulu
for home, and. that the entire force of
Theodorus’ army had been either killed,
^opoded, or captured.

Dr. Dull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. O’. S.
Johnson was a skillful surgeon and physician
ip Central New York, where he died, leaving
the above C. R. Johnson to my care. At tiiir-
teen years of age he had a chronic diarrhea
and scrofula, for which I gave him your Sarsa:
parilla. It cured him. I have for ten yeans
recommended it to many in New York, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general
debility. Eepfept success has attended it. TU
cures effect eel in some cases of scrofuhi and fewer sores
were almost miraculous. I ain very anxious for
my son to again have recourse to your Sarsapa:
rilla. He is fearful of getting a spurious arti
cle, hence his writing to you for it.. His
wounds weie terrible, but I believe he will re:
cover. Respectfully,
Jennie Johnson.
