The communication of “ Old Democrat”
is not published because we think its publica
tion would not accomplish the object of the
writer. The views of our correspondent are
clearly correct in their general application,
and should he enforced by the party in all fu
ture elections. The present is not the time to
express them. So we think.
Southern Opinion.—We are in receipt of the
Daily Southern Opinion, published in Atlanta,
On., by an association of practical printers.—
The Opinion was originally a Radical paper,
but, having changed hands, is now Democratic.
We welcome it to our exchange list, and hope
it may succeed, as it certainly deserves success.
Without design we neglected in a previous is
sue to notice this change in ownership and
politics of the Opinion.
The Legsilature.
D is utterly impossible to state with correct
ness the exact strength of the Radical and
Democratic parties in both branches of the
General Assembly, for the reason that the
newspaper reports differ in some instances on
two points—1st, as to the candidate elected ;
3d, the |>olitiea of a dozen or more members.
There is one tiling certain, all members inde
pendent and doubtful may be safely counted
against the Radicals, for if a member displays
the lest hesitation in dclining his position or
co-operating with the Radicals, lie is in a hope
ful condition, and in all eases, wo believe, will
finally refuse to vote and act with the Radical
party. .
On the whole, we believe the Democrats will
have a majority on joint ballot.
Impeachment.—Tuesday was the day ap
pointed on which the vote of the Senators
would be taken on the guilt or innocence of
the President. The Court adjourned, however,
until Saturday on account of the illness of
Senator Howard. A Washington telegram
Bays Senators Fessenden, Frelingbuysen, Van
Winkle, Grimes and Fowler, Republicans, will
certainly vote for acquittal. The others of
the thirteen still doubtful. Eighteen votes
will acquit. The eleven Democratic and the
five above mentioned Republican Senators will
vote for acquittal. If the President can secure
two of the still doubtful Senatorsdus acquittal
is certain. The Radicals, however, claim his
rouviction ns certain by means of Wude’s vote.
Grant and Hancock.
The tide is running resistlessly in favor of
Hancock’s nomination by the National Demo
cratic and Grant’s by the Radical party, as
candidates for President. In fact it is almost
certain that they will be the opposing candi
dates for the highest office in the gift of the
people. Both are soldiers and have won. lau
rels on many bloody fields. But for what did
they fight? For the Uuion of the States under
the Constitution ? Hancock so thought and
so says, while Grant favors a different Union
—one of vrhieh the Federal soldiers never
dreamed. Did they fight for the right of trial
by jury and the preservation of the writ of
habeas corpus? Hancock so said, and repeated
in New Orleans that such were “the birth
rights of American citizens;” while Grant ad
vises the supplanting of juries by military
cornmts^ns, and plants his heel upon that tcrit
which our British ancestors forced an unwil
ling King to recognize. Did they fight for a
government by the people for the people.? Han
cock auswers affirmatively, while Grant’s posi
tion commits him in favor of a government by
a Congress for the Radical party. Did they
fight for the Union as it was and the Constitu
tion as it? Hancock so says, while Grant says
the blood of his soldiers were shed for another
Union and an amended Constitution. In brief,
did these Generals unsheath their swords, risk
their lives, and urge their nation to begin and
prosecute the contlict at the cost of countless
streams of blood and millions of treasure for
the preservation of the government as organ
ized by our fathers? Hancock says so, while
Graut in effect conteuds that all of this suffer
ing was endured and treasures expended for
the erection of a different government, half
civil and half military, in which the intereets
of one section alone were to be consulted.—
Upon such opposing platforms will these can
didates seek the suffrages of the people. There
is no middle ground, and in such a contest
voters can find no difficulty in deciding which
candidate represents their views.
Which of the two will be elected? The
proper and correct answer will depend upon
the fact whether the American people are sat
isfied with the government under which they
lived and prospered for eighty years, or desire
a change. If a majority still love the Consti
tution, and appreciate the blessings of liberty
regulated by law, Hancock will be our next
President; w.hile, on the contrary, if a major
ity prefer a mongrel, undefinable gov
ernment, and ; are unworthy of freedom, Grant
■will be inaugurated President iu name, but
Dictator in fact, on the 4tli of March, 1S69.
We rejoice, however, that we do believe that
the blessings of good government are yet suffi-
cieujly appreciated to secure Hancock’s trium
phant election and inauguration as President.

*♦
Smelling Committee.—A committee of the ‘
National Temperance Society, composed of I
Gen. O. O. Howard and Hon. Wra. E. Dodge
have recently reported that “having thorough
ly investigated the matter, we give it as our
deliberate opinion that Gen. Grant does not
now drink — that is anything alcoholic.”—
Much of ttie truth of such a report depends
upon the time of day. It is certainly
true “between drinks,” and when the General
is as.eep. We once knew a member of the
legislature, elected on a distinct pledge that
he would not get drunk during the session, and
being profoundly drunk during the whole time,
defended himself on the ground that he had
not “got drunk” since his pledge, but it was
the same steady old drunk all the time.
Without questioning the personal habits of
Gen. Grant, about which we know nothing
and have no proper business, it seems strange
that any gentleman should propose to entrust
the Presidency into the hands of one who they
practically admit cannot be entrusted (without
anxiety) with the regulation of his own per
sonal habits and demeanor. A smelling com
mittee inquiring into the personal habits of
George Washington, Adams, Madison, Monroe,
0“ any of the line, down to very modern times,
would have looked oddly, and we suppose
they would have felt oddly.—Macon Telegraph.
Reverend Slanderers.—Perhaps the great
est liars and most malignant slanderers that
the North has spewed out upon the South
since the close of the war, arc the reverend
blackguards that have been sent an.ong us
as ministers of religion. The politicians
pale before them in all that constitute bad
heartedness and mendacity. A specimen of
these cattle represents the negroes and mean
whites of Alabama in the Chicago Methodist
Conference, now in session. Here is his testi
mony, as given in the Christian Ad'ocate of
that city:
“ We lenrn from Rev. J. W. Tally, represen
tative of the Alabama Conference, that the
spirit, of persecution is raging to a fearful ex
tent against our people in Georgia and Ala
bama. Rev. H. Breckemidge, of Griffin, Ga.,
on Saturday, April 2Gth, was driven away from
Griffin, and pursued by over one hundred men.
He placed himself under the protection of the
military at Atlanta. At Adairsville, Rev. Wes
ley Pret.tyman, Presiding Elder of Atlanta
District, was driven away from his quarterly
meeting by a mob. He escaped just in time to
save his life from the hands of lawless men.—
A day or two after Bro. Prettyman was driven
away from his quarterly meeting, three men
visited his residence at Cartersville for the
avowed purpose of assassinating him, and in.
suited and abused his family. The spirit, of
persecution and rebellion is rife in Alabama,
and our people in that State are suffering
greatly on account of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and their loyalty to the Government
of the United States.”
Now, we venture to say that no honest man
in Georgia has ever before heard of these out
rages, and it is certain that they could not
have occurred without attracting the notice of
the military authorities.
What will become of such creatures in the
great day of reckoning?—Macon Messenger.
gff c ’Queen Victoria is said to be violently
opposed to the conviction of the President by
the Impeachment Court, because she has over
thirty tons of silver and gold plate, and if
Johnson is dismissed from office Wade intends

St. James.
gW°Surratt’s trial has been postponed until
the next term of the Court. Chief Justice
Carter has refused the prisouer bail. So says
a Washington telegram.
gfjTTorney publishes in his “ two papers,
both daily,” that some persons in Georgia have
attempted to assassinate Foster Blodgett.—
This villainous lie is circulated for the purpose
of inflaming the Northern mind and bringing
Blodgett into notice. There is some reason for
the first object, but in all good conscience
Blodgett is notorious enough, in fact so noto
rious that he ought, if he had any sense of
shame, to seek some secluded spot and engage
in prayer that his name might not be mem-
tioned by man again.
Assassinate Blodgett for what ? He is in
dicted for perjury it is true, and seeks by all
the means in his power to oppress the noble,
true and worthy citizens of Augusta, yet no
sane man would harm a hair upon his head ; for
those who desire his punishment must know
that liis very existence is an agony which no
good man could endure.
Some enemy of Satan will do tire deed, if it
is ever done ; for if Blodgett were to seek ad
mission into the domain of his Satanic Majesty,
the Chief would be trumped one time. What
to do with Blodgett would be difficult of solu
tion. However, the old fellow, for fear of dis
placement. would be forced to exclude him,
but assign him, as he has already done Thad.

“Trying to make the plaguy thing poke its
, head out."—Southern Home Journal..
The Washington correspondent of the i
Cincinnati Commercial furnishes the fol- 1
lowing graphic description of the scene
which occurred in the Senate at the con
clusion of Mr. Bingham's speech on the
6th inst., in the closing sentences of
which “ he used such warmth of language
and manner as to create great sensation in
the Senate chamber, and more than ever
to tempt demonstrations of applause
After Mr. Bingham took his seat, Sen
ator Wilson rose to submit a motion that
the Senate retire for consultation. He
had scarcely time to address the Chair
when, t<» the right of the Chair, in the
gentlemen’s gall cry a few spectators com
menced to stamp their feet and clap their !
hands in approval of Mr. Bingham’s!
speech. It was promptly suppressed by i
the Chief Justice, but very quickly spread
tlirough the entire galleries, increasing in j
violence as it went around, until it amount- j
ed to a disorderly uproar. Even the la- j
dies were quick to catch the contagion, i
and gave vent to their enthusiasm as
earnestly as those of the other sex.
The Chief Justice rapped when it was
too late. IJe might as well have tried to
extinguish a prairie fire with a syringe;
when he rose from his seat and cried “or
der !” with all the voice he could put in
to the word, he was only laughed at; and
lor spite hundreds who had remained si
lent till then joined in the demonstration,
and made the Senate Chambers a bedlam.
Some stood up while they clapped their
hands, and others kept their seats that
they might be enabled to use both hands
and feet in the uproar.
While the noise was at its loudest, the
Chief Justice, in an angry tone, ordered
the Sergeant-at-Arms to clear the naile
ries, but it was manifest that without the
consent of the offenders, the order could
not be executed. A few cried out, “ He
can’t do it, he hasn’t men enough ; we
won’t go outand there were indications
for a time that they meant what they said,
and were determined not to be put out.
The door keepers attempted to enforce the
order by announcing it, but they found
the crowd very slow to move. The Sena
tors began to get alarmed, for really the
scene began to smack of the French re
volution, when the crowd used to over
awe the National Assembly.
Mr. Grimes angrily asked, afteY sur
veying the scene, why the order was not
enforced forthwith, to which the Chief
Justice, who seemed to be getting quite
nervous, replied that it certainly would
be enforced. A volley of hisses for
Grimes came next, and that, too, from the
most respectable part of the galleries.—
Many a finely dressed lady contributed to
them. An attempt was made to get up a
more violent insult in the way of a loud
“ bah,” and some hootings were heard
such as the rabble sotnetimes deal out to
stump speakers they dou’t like.
Mr. Trumbull quickly came to the re
lief of Mr. Grimes, with a motion that
the offenders be arrested, as well as the
galleries cleared.
“ I would like to see you do it!” shout
ed several of the retiring offenders in re-
The galleries were by this time about
half cleared, but not because of the order
of the Chief Justice. It got out that the
court was about to retire, or adjourn, and
those who had left had done so under
this impression. Suddenly a few men
cried out: “Hold on! They ain’t go
ing to adjourn ! Let us see this thing
out!” Then came a halt, and hundreds
took their seats again, with the utmost
unconcern, and totally indifferent to the
order for their ejection.
Mr. Cameron, amid the din and con
fusion, rose to hope that the galleries
would not be cleared. He did not be
lieve it fair to punish all for the offences
of some, and hoped none but those who
had made the demonstration would be
put out.
Messrs. Fessenden and Johnson sharp
ly called Mr. Cameron to order, and insist
ed that the clearance be proceeded with ;
at which there was another volley of
hisses and a few more hootings, and the
scene looked more revolunary than ever.
Meantime, in the corridors, a few hun
dred of the ejected had formed into a
crowd, and commenced singing “ Old
Grimes is Dead, that Poor old Man.”
They were joined by the ladies with
great glee. Between the verses the Iowa
Senator was liberally and maliciously
cursed and damned as a traitor and a Cop
perhead. One man attempted to make a
speech against Grimes and the other rene
gades, but the tumult was too much in
terested in the song, which was thought to
be peculiarly appropriate aud piquant.—
“ Wiil the ladies help us to sing?” said
one. “ Certainly they will,” said another,
and so they did.
While this extraordinary scene was
taking place in the corridors, and within
the hearing of the high court ofimpeaeh-
j ment, Senators were wondering what still
j kept the galleries at least half full. Mr.
j Sherman attempted to solve the mystery
! by suggesting to the Chief Justice that
j perhaps those who remained in the galle
i ries did not understand the nature of the
j order. The Chief Justice repeated the
j order for their benefit, and again instruct-
■ ed the Sergeant-at-Arms to euforce it,
which he, with the aid of the capital em
ployes he could find, proceeded at once
to do
The reporters were the last to obey.—
They insisted that they had committed
no offence, and ought not to be interfer
ed with. A few of them shouted to Sen
atorial friends to know if they, too, must
go. They received, in reply, a laugh,
which they construed affirmatively, $nd
which they responded to with a loud
groan, and a muttering comment that
this was a “ of a way.” The Trib
une correspondent protested that the loyal
press ought to pitch into Grimes. The
Times man swore like a trooper, while
about twenty, who had smuggled them
selves into the gallery with the Herald
Terrible Earthquake.

Affray at Dalton.
On Wednesday last a shooting affray
came very near proving fatal to two citi
zens of Dalton, Col. Tibbs and Mr. J. E.
Christian. The shooting was done by a
grocery keeper from Cleveland, Tennes
see, by the name of J. B. Scott. The
difficulty had its origin during the war.
When the Federal army took possession
of Cleveland, John Tibbs, a son of Col.
Tibbs, aud at that time thirteen or four
teen years old, was arrested, and this man
Scott, a citizen of Cleveland, volunteered
to guard him. The young man, Tibbs,
claimed that Scott performed the duty in
a way that he has not been able to forget
it, nor forgive him.
This old difficulty was referred to by
young Tibbs on meeting Scott, which re
sulted in the shooting. Col. Tibbs, in an
effort to keep down the difficulty, was un
fortunately involved in the quarrel, and
shot through the leg just above theaukie.
Mr. Christian who was at the time near
by, and having nothing to ao with the
difficulty, was hit over the right eye, the !

TESTIMONY OF MEDICAL MEN,
Stoney Point, WhiteCo..jArk.. May 23, 'f;,;
Dr. John Bull-Dear Sir: List February j
was in Louisville purchasing drugs, and I L -.,,
some of your Sarsaparilla and Get Iron Bitters
My son-in-law, who was with me in tie
store, lias been down with the rheumatism t >
some time, commenced on the Bitters, and sexy
found his general health improved.
Dr. Gist, who has been in bad health, trie■'
them, and he also improved.
Dr. Coffee, who has been in bad health fo-
several years—stomach ami liver affected — improv
ed very much by the use of your Bitters.* i u
deed the Cedron Bitters has given you cm''
popularity in this settlement, i think I omi,
sell a great quantity of your medicines this
fall—especially of your Cedron Bitters and Sar
saparilla. Ship me via Memphis, care ot' Bit k-
ett & Neely. Respectfully, C. B. Walker.
Bull’s Worm Destroyer.
To my U. States and World-wide Readers,
I have received many testimonials from pro
fessional and medical men, as my almanacs
and various publications have shown, all of
which are genuine. The following letter from
a highly educated and popular physician iu
Georgia, is certainly one ot 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
WORM DESTROYER:
Villaxow, Walker County, Ga., |
June 29, 1866. j
Dr. John Bull— Dpar Sir: I have recently
given your “Worm Destroyer" several trials,
and find it wonderfully efficacious. It has not
failed in a single instance to have the wi.shed-
for effect. 1 am doing a pretty large country
practice, and have.daily use for some article of
the kind. I am 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 upon,
what terms I can get the medicine directly
from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, I
shall use a great deal of it. I am aware tiiat
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 wo
know to be efficient, simply because we may be
ignorant of its combination. For my part, I
shall make it a rule to use all and any means
to alleviate suffering humanity which I may be
able to command—not hesitating because some
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 flood
the country, that purport to cure all manner
of disease to which flu map flesh is heir. Please
reply soon, and inform me of your best terms.
I am. Sir, most respectfully,
Julius P. Clement, M. I).

READ THE CAPTAIN’S LETTER AND THE
LETTER FROM HIS MOTHER.
Benton Barracks, Mo., April 30, 1866.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the effi
ciency of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing
and beneficial qualities it possesses, I send you
the following statement of rny case.
I was wounded about two years ago—was
taken prisoner and confined for sixteen months.
Being moved so often, my wounds have not
healed yet. I have not sat up a moment since
I was wounded. I am shot through the hips,
My general health is impaired, and I need
something to assist nature. 1 have more faith
in your Sarsaparilla than in anything else, i
wish that that is genuine. Please express uie
half a dozen bottles, and oblige
Cai j t- C. P. Johnson,
St. Louis, Mo.
P. S.—The following was writted April 30,
1866, by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capo.
Johnson.
Dr. Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. S.
Johnson was a skillful surgeon and physician
in Central New York, where he died, leaving
the above C. P. Johnson to my care. At thir
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 years
recommended it to many in New York, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general
debility. Perfect success has attended it. Tht
cures effected in some cases of scrofula and fever sores
were almost miraculous. I am very anxious for
my son to again haye recourse to your Sarsapa
rilla. He is fearful of getting a spurious arti
cle, hence his writing to you for it. His
wounds wei e terrible, but I believe he will re
cover. Respectfully,
Jennie Johnson.
