THE DEMOCRACY
Tbe calling of a Convention at Ibe Damon acy
of Georgia, baa been aoggeateil by tome of the
democratic paper* of the State; ve are not only
in favor of euoli a convention, but we urge upon
tbe Executive Committee, to call a Convention
at aa early a day a« practicable. A thorough or,
ganUatlon of Uia Democratic party ia all impor.
tent, if wa wieh to nieeeed m the coming elec
tioov. Let ua have a convention, and lay down
oar principle* ao dearly, that no man can misun
deratand tliero—and let (ha convention select
auitabla men to represent ua in tbe National
Democratic Convention, which is soon to meet to
nominate a candidate for the Presidency. We
want men who last truth, and will stand by
principle*— who are opposed to a bonded arts
toeracy, and are willing to strike hands with the
the democracy of tbe great Northwest, led by
an eh men as Pendleton and Vallandingham.
Wo with saw readers to understand that we
are net ia favor of conservatism, ao called—we
belong t* no conservative party—we accept no
JwlFwey ground between true democracy and
radicalism—we are not for Cfbrdon and the Cun
dilution—we ere for the Constitution as be
queathed to ua by our fathera; which nails to
its masthead tbe geest principles of State sover
eignty. end proclaims to the world the right of
escli State under the Constitution, to regulate
it* own internal affairs, to have a voice in the
paesage of all laws by which she is to be gov
erned, and the selection of the men wile are to
be Uerrulers. We arc for equal taxation, with
rapressatalion or repudiation—Habeas corpus,
and Um right us trial by Jury. The ancient I
wights -df every American citizen is, to be pro
tected in-bi* life, liberty and property; and not
•to bo deprived of eilber, except by the Judg
ment of hie peer*, and tbe lass at the land.
These great principles hsd their existeooe long
'before radicalism ruled the land and tyrants op
•presred the people—they were transmitted by
•oor English ancestors, to the father* df the Amer
ican republic, and by them in all their purity to
uc;tltii upon thece principles alone that a gov
eminent can be maintained, under which an
•American freeman should live. Allegiance ia
•dua from the people to she sovereign power, and
(protection is due from the sovereign power to
the people , oat rannot bo demanded without
granting the other. A sovereign cannot expect
-or require >W* subjects to bear true faith and al
legiance ‘to Ilia government, when lie fails to
•guard and protect their right*—he may by force
(hold them in”suhJection; his government is not
■strengthened thereby. Hut when the sovereign
secures to, and protects a free people in the en
joyment of their lives, liberty ami property.—
Allegianac is then not only due from the people
tolhe sovereignty, but willingly given—the sov
ereignty then becomes strong in the affections of
the jieoplo, and peace nml happiness reigns
throughout the land.
The Democratic party is the only one which
will secure to each Slate Us constitutional righto
th* blessings of good government to the citixens,
and to the sovereign power, the love, and willing
allegiance of tbe people—it alone can rid our
people of the oppressive iul» of military aatvaps
scalawags, carpet baggers ami “the truly liiii*
southern vagabonds, In order to secure peace
and prosperity to our country and the blessings
nf liberty to oor children, we must rally to the
Democratic flag and support its great principles.
We are deeply interested in selecting the men
who are to benr tbe democratic standard—we
want men who are democrats upon principle,—
who will carry out those principles because they
are right. Wo and» not want any weak kneed,
temporising eo-emlled conservatist. Th* right is
with u», let u* have the manhood to maintain it.
Truth and right has for a time been erushed to
! th* earth by fanaticism, but will rise again—it
baa already risen like a pillow of fire by night
to direct the footsteps of our down trodden and
oppressed people to the haven of public liberty.

Daaacao, Ga, May 8, 1868
Ma Editor : —Yesterday morning between
day-break and sunup, there passed over thi* sec
tion of country a tremendous hail and thunder
storm—washing the land severely, and tearing
up little branch bottom* generally. During the
storm lightning lulled a pair of very fine young
oxen, and a fine milch cow for me. They with
the cow, was standing under* aanalt sweet gum
tree, and the lightning ran down tbe tree I
don't think either of them ever moved alter the
fatal stroke.
The wheat crop baa the met very badly, don’t
think it con possibly nuke mere than a half crop
Oats are looking magnificent and promise an
abundant yield. King cotton looks very dwsrf
iah this morning and seems to be generally de
moralised—c'od weather and radicalized free
negroes, I fear will leave th* old gentleman to
live out the balance of his days aa did one of tbe
kings of old (NebuAa.Wztar.) Not among tbe
beasts of the field however, but among the grass
and weeds. Mr. Editor his kingdom has oertaio
ly departed from him, though it may possibly
return as did Nebuchadnezzar’s, after the reign
of the hell deserving usurpers that now control
National and State affaira Oh! thou king, the
most high God, hasten tho end of such men ae
Butler, Brown, Bullock, Bryant and Blodget,
ami usher in the day when we all can cry aloud’
as it were with one voice, to king cotton—
0, king live forever, let not thy thought* trouble
thee, aor let thy (price) oountensnee be changed.

Tho sixth section of the first reconstruction act
oroongress declare*, “that until the people of
said rebel State* shall be, by law, admitted to
representation in th* Congress of the United
States, any civil government which may exist
therein ahull be deemed provisional only, Ae.
Under the provisions of the fifth section of the
same act, “the people of said State cannot be
admitted to representation in Congress until they
have ratified the Constitution submitted to them
under the reconstruction acts, and Congress shall
have approved the same; and until said State
shall hr vu adopted the amendment to tbe oon
stilution us the United States, proposed by Con
gress. and known at Article 14,and said article
shall have become a part nf the Constitution of
the Unit-id States.’’ These and other provisions
of the reconstruction acts clearly show that what
ever government may exist in Georgia before
the fulfilment nf the above conditions, must "be
deemed provisional only," The niuth section of
the supplementary reconstruction aets, passed
July lit, 1867, “requires all officers elected or ap
pointed under the provisional government of a
State, or take and subscribe the oath of office
proscribed by law for officers of the Uuited
States,” This makes a condition of eligibility to
otfioe under a provisional government very ma
terially different from either eligibility to regis
tration on a voter, or eligibility to office under
the provision) us the proposed Constitutional
amendment.
Before entcrii g upon his duties, a provisional
officer is required, among other things, to swear
that he has neither sought nor accepted, nor at
tempted to exercise the function* of eoy office

Mr,—— ...hold otfioe under (be authority of
tee State of Georgia while that State wa* in hn*
tility to the United A’tntei. He is consequently
ineligibly to office under the provisional govern
ment. It is not deemed necessary here to die
cus* th* effect this view of the law may have as
to ether officers. But legislation has to be taken
while the State ia yet under provisional govern
ment; and the member* of the Legislatur&must
be qualified to hold office under that provßiouol
govei nuient.

(Signed) R. c. D*um, A. A. O.
The above decision is found in a recent issue
of I lie Radical organ at Atlanta. Aa will be ob
served, it hears date April Uth, nine days be
fore the election. Why it has not found it* way
into print, and to iho notice of those whose vital
Interest it so dearly affects, we cannot say. We
regrot it extremely, because it* significance to
them ns a warning, coming too date, is thus lost.
Without reflecting at all upon the motive* of
Gen. Meade, or implicating him in this plot for
w* regard it as nothing else—to thus deprive the
people of the fruits of their recent victory, we
see in this decision nothing but another link in
the chain of evidence whereby we know that
there is no such tiling as liberty of choice for
thoso who oppose Radicalism and it* tell purpo
ses It reveals the last depth of the pit dug by
that faction wherein to bury the Constitution
and the Laws, and the testimony of freemen
against its murderous assaults upon both. We
are nlniost helpless, but let us not say hopeless.
For that much let us be thankful.
N»w we desire, most respectfully, to ask Gen.
Meade a lew questions about this deeiasion: Why
wns it uot made public when the people were
selecting tlieir candidates for office, and particu
larly for the Legislature I It strikes ua that a
most appropriate time to have announced it
would Imre been when lie was consulted aa to
General Gordon's eligibility, or when he was con
sulted in reference to the qualifications of certain
specified persons for State and municipal officers
Ilia reply then, as wo have been informed, and
in fact as was stated in the public prints, wae
that no qualification was necessary but the fact
of being a legistered voter.' He did not say so
in that many words, but his language ia legiti
mately susceptible of that construction. IT he
did not say it directly, he said it by implication,
Gen. Meade promised ua a fair election, and so
Far as we know that he could control, it we had
it. It is very unfortunate, though, that ths people
should have their choice nullified as effectually
by this decision as if tho most outrageous frauds
had been committed at the ballot box. It is
very unfortunate that after the people had eome
forward in response to a promise that their choice
should lie Iree and untrammelled, and selected
their representative*, they should be met with a
proscription test that nobody ever dreamed of.
It is very unfortunate that after they were invit
ed to the ballot box to aeleet whom (hey wished
for certain officers, subject only to on« condition
that they should be|confronted, in the hour of vic
tory, with anotbtr. We do not charge bad faith
on Gen. Meade, but other people may not be ao
oharitable-
It is being asked already, all over Georgia, if
this decision would have been nude had the
Radical party carried the Legislature. We ex
press no opinion upon that point. We simply
regret, heartily regret, that a soldier of such high
renown as Gen. Meade, and a gentleman—aa tie
is, by britli, education and assaciation—should
rest even for a moment, aud in the mind of the
bitterest partisan, under such a susp cion. Let
us hope that he will set himself right yet, aad
that whatever of had faith, of unfair dealing, or
of injustice may characterize the history of these
times and this transactions, it will cling to other
skirts than his.
Fsra None*.—Tho Radical organ at Atlanta
gives notice in advance that the farther the in
vestigation of Gen. Meade’s committee into the
late elections is pushed, the greater will be tho
majorities of the Radical candidates I We shall
not dispute the truth of the assertion, though it
a significant one, made at thi* day.
Terrible Volcanic Eruption ia the Sand
wich lil&nA
Sax Fajutouoo, May 8.
The bark Comet from tbe Sandwich Islands
faring* accounts of a terrible volcanic eruption
Mauna Lea tbe demonstrations began March 27th
and on the 28th over a hundred earth quake
shocks were felt at Nilina. During th* two
weeks following, to April 12th, two thousand
earthquake shocks occured. At Ways, China,
the earth opened in meoy place* and a tidal
ware sixty feet high over the tops of tbe cocoa
tree* washed* quarter ofa mile inland sweeping
human beings, house* and every thing movable
before it A terrible shock prostrated churches
end booses, many. In all one hundred lives were
lest besides thousands of boras*and cattle The
craters vomited fire, rocks and lava. A river of
red hot lava five or six miles long flowed to tbe
aea at the rate of ten miles an hour, destroying
everything before it, and forming an island in tbe
tea.
Anew crater formed two mile* wide, and
threw rock* and stream* of fire a thousand feet
high. Streams of lava rolled down to th* sea, at
one time illuminatiog the sea for fifty miles at
night The lava ha* pushed from the shore one
mile.
At Ways, China, 8 mile* from th* shore, a
conical fadand rose sudoenly, emit ting a column
of steam and smoke while the Kono packet waa

The greatest shock occured April 2. Prior to
the eruption, there were a great shower ofaabes
and punic*. During the great shock, the sway
inr motion of the earth wa* to dreadful that no
person could stand.
In the mitfat of this tremendous shock, an
eruption o? red earth poured do *n the mountain
rushing acme* tbe plain three miles in three
minutes, and then ceased. Then came the great
tidal ware and then the stream* of fatva. Tbe
village* on the shore were all destroyed by this
wave. The earth opened under the sea. and
reddened the water.
The earth eiuption swalloed thirty parsons, and
the sea many more.
Great suffering and terror prevailed ia the
whole region effected.
The sloop Live Ranke* had been dispatched
with provision* to rescue and reliev* th* people.
Honolulu correspondent of the Bulletin gives
detail* of the volcanic disturbances, showing that
tbe earthquake shocks extended to all the island*

except around Mauna Lea.

A Hip-Snorting R&dioal in n Bight
Smart of Trouble-
Geu. Mower’s Daughter Seduced by a Negro
Soldier, wlio is Arrested, but Rescued by Mu
tinoue Comrades, and th* General Compelled
to take ao Oath not to molest him.
Soon after General Hancock tookiwmmand.
General Moeer waa ordered to Ship, Island in
command of a negro battalion. List was soon
there joined by his family, one of wilch was a
daughter of about seventeen year*, very interest
ing and accomplished. Always (ought to believe
that a negro was as good as a white man, and in
many things superior, she of course thought it no
harm to encourage the advance* of oue of tha
ebony race.
Accordingly, she saw and admired one of the
soldiers of her father’s command, and the same
old story of love, as i) read of in connection with
whit* lovers, it it to be told. Clandestine meet
ing were had, and so progressed from on* step to
another, until at last th* colored visiter is discov
ered oecupping the same oouoh with her, where,
rumor says he had been lor ten consecutive
nights General Mower arrested the offending
negro, and, wilAouf trial, uattneed Aim to be hung.
Preparations were made iinmedietely, and while
the ropejwas around his neck, heboid I th* whole
negro battalion broke out in mutiny and released
the prisoner,seized General Mower, and, under
pain of death, extracted from him an oath not to
ever hereafter trouble their comrade, or ever
mention tbia oceuranc* to a living soul, after
which the General was released. Subsequently
it was discovered that these interviews had bean
kept up for two nr three month* previous, and
to add horror to horror, the daughter wa* discov
ered to be in tn interesting condition, since
which time the General has brought her to the
oity. We can judge for what purpose.
But now for the contrast About the time
General Sheridan was relieved, a negro was tried
in Carrollton, Jefferson county, Louisiana and
convicted before the district court for rape oa a
white girl, and sentenced to be hung. The sen
tence was submitted to Sheraton for approval,
and hia reply was: “1 can see no r east a why tbe
sentence of the court should not be aooeptea”—
This was about ths time he took his leave, and
the papers were left with Mower, who afterward
revoked Sheridan's approval and tbe sentence of
the court, and ordered the negro to be imprison
ed for ten years, instead of being hung. Many,
at that time, were the prayers that, justice might
overtake him (Mower); and if the story ofhia
daughter be true, justice certainly has followed
him.
Here is a negro convicted for rapt, before a
court of justice, partially pardoned by Mow<r
in one ease. In the other, a negro has only se
duced a girl, and Mower wants him hung with
out trial, simply because it was hit daughter.—
If it were any other than hia duagliter, the negro
would have been commended for his smartness,
no doubt, by this satrap. I ask wbereistheju*.
