display an intcrebt never before manifested for
the overthrow of Radicalism. They feel and
know that the life blood of that party is en
mity to them and their interest, and hence
v. ill exert themselves to the utmost to slay the
monster. The only planks in the Radical plat
form were prepared with direct aim of stabbing
Southern rights, and were the South to-day not
connected with politics there would be no Rad
ical party. The citizens of ten States must be
oppressed or Radicalism dies. Who, then, m
Georgia will not take an interest for the suc
cess of Conservative Democracy—the party of
the Constitution, of liberty, of peace, of pros
perity, of the equality of the States, and the
lights of the white race? Wcwillnee.
Trying to Explain.—The Radical journals
are making strenuous efforts to explain away
Grant’s Jew order, by which he cast an un
necessary insult upon the Jewish nation and
expelled from his Military Department such
Israelites as were within its bounds. The at
tempt to make it go down are really futile, and
so will Grant be convinced after the Jewish
votes arc counted. No Jew who has a particle
of pride of nation, or love for himself or peo
ple, can be induced under any circumstances to
vote for a man who has thus treated himself
or brethren. It seems to us that Radical edi
tors would act according to the dictates of
common sense to cease agitating this subject,
for say what you please of the Jewish nation,
they love peace, but they are not such fools as
to mistake oppression for peace, or enemies fur
friends.
Probable Action of the Rational Demo
cratic Convention.
The members of the opposition are so deeply
interested in Democratic success that they not
only desire to select our candidates for Presi
dent. and Vice President, but also modestly
hint that the platform must, under any cir
cumstances, contain certain planks. Moreover
the Chicago Convention cried wolf in anticipa
tion by pronouncing against repudiation, and
sought, by that step, to force the Democracy to
advocate the opposite.
All of these inuendoes, hints and suggestions
of party and action will go for naught. If,
however, they arc really seeking to ascertain
the course the victorious Democracy will pur
sue, we will give them our ideas on the subject,
which they can take <ptaiitu:n ralcat.
In the first place, the advice of Brick Pome
roy and his ilk will never be considered. Such
men are incapacitated by nature to lead, and
reflecting men know it. Conscious that the
nomination of Judge Cliaso would be a fatal
stab at the cherished principles of the party,
and cause dissatisfaction and divisions, the
friends of the Chief Justice will be politely in
formed that the interests at stake in this con
test are so vital and success so necessary that
experiments or risks cannot be made or taken,
and therefore Mr. Chase will not be the nom
inee.
The claims of Mr. Pendleton will be thus
disposed of : While we, say a majority of the
Convention, acknowledge the ability, states
manship and true devotion to the Constitution
of the honorable gentleman, also believing his
election possible, yea, probable, and that he
would be the choice, under ordinary circum
stances, of an overwhelming majority of good
aud true Democrats; still Mr. Pendleton has
commoted with his name the idea of a repudja-
gressmen that it would be stricken out. Yet
they kept ail these things concealed from the
people, put them to sleep, and now the pros
pect is they will wake up with the Sheriff at
the door, backed by enraged creditors from
whom they thought they were tree. We
have read letters of recent date from debt
ors to creditors, giving notice of their deter
mination to pay no more of their old debts.—
Such conduct as this has enraged the creditor
class, and debtors will find .it now harder to
make terms than before. What a shame thus
to deceive the people. The authors of (his
crime should be held up to public execration.
The nows we publish from Congress is to the
effect that the only clauses of the relief section
left are those repudiating debts contracted to
aid the “rebellion and those founded on the
hire or purchase of slaves. Mark it, even
these will be as collectable as they were before
the action of the Convetion.
What Georgian will now trust the promises
of the Radical party ? We have negro suffrage
but no relief.

Turkistan up to the frontiers of Afghanistan,

tion. Bokhara, at least, with its two million
inhabitants, will remain virtually Russian,
while the extinction of the military power of
the neighboring Khanates must eventually
follow.
The first great advantage that will accrue to
Russia from her success will he that the trade,
not only of Bokhara, but of the surrounding
country, will be diverted from its present
channel and pass into Russian bands. The
siik, leather, cotton aud jewelry which now
reach the West though British Ineia will in
future find their market in Russia, and the
trade in ail these articles will doubtless be
largely developed, now that a direct and secure I
mode of accession to a European market has
been secured. To acquire the control of this
trade has long been the ardent desire of the
Russian Government, and its efforts seem now
to have been attended with a full measure of
success.
The news will prob.ijlv create some excite
ment among the Anglo-Indian party, known
as the “ Rassophobists,” who look upon every
Russian success as a menace to British India,
and have repeatedly urged the coaouest of
Afghanistan, at all costs, upon the British
Government, as a measure of security against
Russian ambition. But England seems now to
watch Russian progress without alarm, and to
rely on the almost impassable defiles of her
northern frontier, her command of the sea,
From the public press it seems that the Dem
ocratic nomination for the Presidency, is nar
rowed down to Gen. Hancock, of Pennsylvania,
and Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio.
'The nomination is nut a question merely of
statesmanship. If tills was the criterion of
selection, we do not suppose Gen. Hancock's
name would have been brought forward at all
for the Presidency. He is a soldier by profes
sion and not a statesman ; and for this reason,
if there was no other objection, in the ordinary
course of public affairs, we would have been
opposed to Gen. Hancock s nomination for the
Presidency. Aud frwn the fact that Mr. Pen
dleton was a statesman—a faithful and able
statesman —we would have supported him
without the least hesitation against G<n. Han- ... . ,

reason is this; we must succeed, if we succeed
