Gxo. W. Ashburn. —lt appears fro*
tb* telegraphic dispatches, that this
man, who has for the Inst year or two,
played a conspicuous part in the subter
ranean politics of this State, came to his
death at the hands of assessing a few
daye ego in the City of Columbus, the
head centre of his tribal operations.
Hy the common consent of his adver.
■tries and associates, of indeed all
classes, ho won and woro the mead of
unapproached Radical infamy. Yet,
this man had a spirit of independence,
a stubborn firmness of purpose, goners
eliy intent upon something which was
far in advance of many members of that
piebald convention which lately mot in
Atlanta, and perhaps this cost him liis
life ; for it is onrrently reported that
the depth of degradation to which Buis
lock and his crowd touched, oven George
Ashburn was disgusted at. lie repu Ji«
ated.Bullock, and hence the. onset upon
him at the hour of midnight, by some
ono wearing the livery of the United
States—so goes the>tory. Perhaps the
death awarded to him ■ was provoked,
and right; about this wo know and
care nothing.
All we have to say ot the scoond vios
lent death whiofi has grown out of the
operations of the Atlanta Convention is.
That in times of commotion and puhlio
disorder, such men, by bluster and
swagger, attract notieo by their noise—
perhaps by a kind of coarse courage,
which invites notoriety at the risk of
personal oonsequonoes ; and that the
vulgar brutality which such a condi*
tion brings to the surface, usually brings
its own offset along with it.
If George Ashburn had confined him
self to the humble business towhich, by
the law* of hie organisation he was fitted
for, he would now Lave been in life.—
Let other men in Georgia take warning
in'time.
BAR MEETING A\b DINNER.
At a preliminary meeting of a num
ber of the members of the legal fraterni
ty, it was determined that there should be
a re-union of the fraternity, aDd dining,
■* Capt. J. 0. Maugham's hotel, in tbit
plnee, on the 2nd inst. This action wm
taken for the purpose of enabling the lo
cal bar to manifest in a becoming man
met, ewr sincere regard aod high esteem
for oar Brother, Cob J. Q A. Alford, who

of the profession, residing in the place
a few from a distance, with the resident
ofiieers of tbe Court, assembled at the

br Aher has endeared himself to os by
so many ties, that we cannot allow
the occasion of bis departure tA pis*
without some public manifestation of
our friendly* regard. We huva known

prompt, zealous and faithful without a
particle of bitterness, atwaia kind,
frank, generous aad truthful. ' In him
we have found combined a friend to be
trusted, a Lawyer who nover degraded
liis profession, and a brother who never
la! cause to ask our forgiveness : a
citizei blameloss in life, incorruptible
in iutegrity, and manly in his every-day
intercourse.
Resolved, That wherever his lot may
•be our best wishes go and will
abido with him—and that nothing doubt
ing, wo endorse him in advance to each
new community to which he. may go,
as one evory way qualified and deserv
ing’the friendship and patronage of tbo
good and the honorable.
Resolved, That the Secretary furnish

Doyal graced the position at tbe foot of
the board, flanked on bis right and left,
respectively, by Messrs. Beck and Alex
ander. Tbe other parties present were
seated at their pleasure, and the Feast
began. And surely it was a Feast that
will, in every reaped, be always remem
bered with the utmost satisfaction by
every participant. After the last course,
the table was oleared and the President
offered the first sentiment: “Our Guest :
Beloved while with us, we deplore bis
departure, and shall rejoice in his long
life and prosperity,” which was very
happily responded to by Col. Alford.

TELEGRAPJiIC;.
■Washington, March. 31. Judge
Black, yesterday, iu the Supreme Court,
desired to argue the effect of recent leg
islation on the McCardle ease. Daring
the colloquy, Justice Grier said be felt
called upon to vindicato himself from
whatever of obloquy or censure may at
tach to any one in this matter. That he
thought that the failure to decide the
McCardle case will be considered as ads
sign on tbe part of the Court to wait for
legislation to relieve them from the per
formance of an unpleasant duty. Jus
tice Grier closed with, "Pudel hoc op
probrium did, el nonipotuisse repeUi —”
I am a-bamed that such an opprobrium
should be cast upon tho Coutt, and that
it esn’t be refuted.!
There will bo further proceedings to
dsv.
The Supreme Court postponed the ar
gument in the McCardle case till tbe

The managers made a tremendous ef
fort to-day, saying that, should the point
go against them, they would feel com
pelled to retire and consult the House
when tbe dscisiou was announced. Mr.
Butler said the managers desired to re
tire for cousultatiou. But little evi
dence was taken to-day. The Presi
dent’s friends seem in excellent spirits.
It has transpired that the President
has changed the form of appointment
blanks to conform to the Tcnurc-of-of
fice act after that law passed.
Mr. Butier volunteered to repeat the
words of inaudible witness, but the de
fence objected. '
The vote in private session sustaining
Mr. Chase, was 31 to 19.
Senatk. —Nothing transpired in the
Senate prior to the Court. The jour
nal omitted. The evidence proceeded
until Mr. Stanbery "objected. Mr.
Chase sustained managers. Mr. Drake
objected. maintained that he
had the right to make preliraary decis
ions subject to appeal. Mr. Drake ap
pealed and tbe managers sustained the
appeal. Mr, Butler saying that he was
glad tho issue arose when tbe ruling
was in. tboir favor. The defence took no
part in the contest. The motion to re
tire prevailed, Clipso voting aye to de
cide a tie; Mr. Doolittle and Mr. Sauls
.hery of the Democrats, only voting nay.-
After three hours’ eb-enoe, Mr. Chase
announced the decision that Mr. Chase
should decide questions of evidence end
preliminary question, subject to appeal
to the Senate. Adjourned.

Augusta, March 31.—The Democrat
ic Convention for the Fifth district met
here to-day. The action of tbe Central
Executive Committee, in recommending
Judge Irwin for Governor, was approv
ed. The Convention declined to make
a nomination for Congress.
Washington, April I.—Senate,—Af
ter the reading of the journal which
was interrupted bv Sumner’s ineffect
ual attempt to declare Chase’s casting
vote illegal, the Senate resumed the
quettion of evidence, which interrupted
yesterday’s proceedings.
Both managers and counsel cinsmncd
their hour ami Chase was sustained by
a strict party vote.
Fend in g the discussion tho
the managers declinod answering what
use they intended making of disputed
evidence, ns it wou’d expose their plan
of prosecution. Tho question at issue
was, whether what Thomas said and did
could be received under this ruling.—
It was proven that Thomas said he in
tended using force, and to break the
door down, nnd that afterwards ho said
he was deterred from using forco by his
arrest.
Tho next contest rose over the admisi
sibility of wbat Thomas di'l aniP said
previous to reneiving orders to take tho
War office. Chase ruled it out.
Drake nppealod nnd the appeal was
sustained by a vote of 28 to 2i.
The managers stated previous to the
vote that they intended proving by this
evidence that Thomas, in the line of his
conspiracy, attempted to corrupt the
employees of tho War Office.
Butler violently assailed General
Thomas daring this controversy, as hav
ing been disgraced hy Lincoln nnd
Stanton, nnd that, aside from assisting
the President in bis conspiracy, he grat
ified bis revenge.
Dnder this ruling it-was proved that
shortly after Thomas’ re-establishment
ns Adjutant General, ho called up the
heads of Bureaus and their chief em
ployees, nnd informed them that, strict
rules would be relaxed.
The cross-examination elecited the
foot that these speeches wero confined
to employees of tho Adjutant General’s
Department, nnd that no allusion was
made to Thomas’ probably becoming
Secretary of War. Tbis point created
auito a bozx. Further evidence showed
that Gen. Thomas said ho intended np s
plying to Gon. Grant for force to put
him in possession.
But three witnesses were examined
to-day. Adjourned,
Wilmington, Apri} I.—Tbo political
excitement is intense all over the State.
Both candidate* for Governor, Wm. A.
Graham and Ex-Gov. Vanes, and other
leading men,are canvassing the State. It
is calculated that not less than two hun
dred speeches per day are being made
ia different counties. Both parties ap
pear confident of success, but the Con
servatives are exhibiting more energy
than the Radicals.
The canvass on tbe Constitution is
going on briskly. Mr. Holden, the
Radical candidate for Governor, and
Mr. Ashes, the Conservative candidate,
are both in the field. Bzth sides claim
the victory.
l>e white people of the State have
not been so much aroused in auy elec
tion sinee 1844.
Savannah, April I. —A. A. Bradley,
the Boston negro, is circulating through
the city and poanty the following incen

Richmond, April I.—ln the C mveus
tion to*day the resolutions inquiring in
to the conduct of Judge Underwood
were called up, and he made a state
ment denying having offered any bribe
to tbo Executive Committee, to bo paid
by Soruguo, if they lav .red Chase for
tbe Presidency. The resolutions were
then indefinitely postp-ned. The Exe
cutive Committee nro-e afterwards and
re-asserted th air published statements.
A colored member was in the chair
to-day for the first time sinoe the ses
sion b-gan.
Richmond, April 2.—The trial of
President Davis was to-day again post
poned to the 2d day of May.

PowlmMan, was found dead in that coun
ty, with five bullet hole! jn big body.

case was further artruod. The prose
outing attrony held General Schofield’s
requisition within the law. Judge Car
ter desired to hear further argument.—
The case was continued.

Journal Drake moved to amend the 7th
rule, which lays over.
Two witnesses examined, but nothing
new elicited.

examined and testified in substance as
heretofore published,
The President's, letter to Grant, was
rend.
The President’s counsel demanded
that certificates of Cabinet officers be
read ns part of the d'icuuient. '
Chase put the question, wheu it wan
defeated - yens 2' ; nays 29.
Wm. E. Chandler, late Asssistant
Secretary of tho Treasury, was intro
duced and testified regarding the Trcas
ury routine.
The defense objected to questions re
garding tho appointment of Edwin
Cooper.
Butler -nid that he epected to prove
by this evidence that tho President ap
pointed Cooper so that Thomas might
have access to the Treasury through
Cooper, also, that the President had
violated the Tenure of Office bill in the
appointment ofOooper.
The evidence was rejected 23 to 2(5.
C. A. Tinker, Telegraphic Mana
ger, was examined regarding telegrams
between tho President and Gov. Par
sons, regarding the adoption of the How
ard amendment by tho Alabama Legis
ture.
The defense objected, when Bontwell
stated that in the telegrams tho Presi
dent spoke off Congress as a set of indio
vidunls.
Butler contended that tho adoption of
the Howard amendment was among the
requirements of the reconstruction acts,
ana that the President has no right to
oppose it. Telegrams admitted 27 to
17.
On motion to ndjnorn the vote stood
22 to 22. Chase voted aye, nnd tho
Court adjourned.
Tho House, after return from the
Senate, adjourned. No legislative busi.
ness to- lay.

COMMUNICATED.
Mr. Editor ; It has been reparted in
tbe City, that I have withdrawn my
name for the position of Chief Marshal
of the City of Griffin. This a mistake.
I am determined that my name shall
bo presented, provided a white May
or and Board of Alderman are elected.
If a negro Board is elected for Alders
men, then lam out of the “ring.” I
have served the City faithfully for two
years ns Policeman—have stood the bad
weather of two winters, for very small
pay, and have endeavored to make my
self useful to the public generally.
Having served tho citixens of Griffin
so long as policeman, I now desire to
servo them as Marshal, and am deter
mined to run the race, on the condition
above mentioned. Very respectfully,
he., A. J; Gibson.

LETTER FROM MERRIWETHEK.
March 30th, I*B.
Mxswe 1 . Editors : I love to reside
among the farmers es the country.—
Now, in the Spring, nature puts on her
emerald garb, and decks herself with
loveliest flowers ; the Lirds tone their
sweet voices, and by their songs herald
th» jubilee of the year, when every ob
ject see ms to become animate and joy
ful. It is inspiring to hear the plough
man's whistle and his *liaw’ and jee’ as
he “driyes his team afield” to turh the
yielding “glebe,” and plants cereals
that by the bless’ng of God will fill his
barns with plenty.
In tbis region, the app'e, pear and
peach trees are now in bloom, and, if
no killingjfrost occurs,promise an abun
dance of fruit. Tbe wheat fields ap
pear in excellent condition, and, it no
disaster comes will yield n fine crop.—
Tho com is being planted with all speed.
May we have a fine orop. The farmers
intend to make enongh of eyery thing
al least for home consumption, and
doubtless will have some to spare.—
Then cotton will lie planted to sell for
farm he. But I am very
much mistaken in my notions, if farm
ers will be forced to sell their cotton at
ruinous priocs horoafier, ns they were
tha lust year. Very few freedmen are
employed in tbis section tbo present
year. I am informed there are not
more than one fourth ns many negroes
in this neighborhood ns thore were be
fore the war. All complain of their un
willingness to work. -They certainly do
calculate the value of every muscular
mo ion. Therefore they are employed
ns little as passible. Tho young white
man and boys have gone to work with
a will, and are determined that the in»
torests of agriculture shall not be neg
lected. Beside as far as possible, white
men are employed upon tbe fnrm. Yet
more laborers of this class are wanted.
All- the lands that might be, nnd ought
to be cultivated are not in use. Immi
gration ought to be and will bo encourag
ed. For the present, however, I think
the people, by industry and economy,
will get along without further loss.—
We seldom hear of hogs being stolen
here, and every farmer has quite n num
ber of them. I see sheep at every house,
and the wool is used for home consump
tion. It would do you good to see nice,
well educated young ladies, in imitation
of their mothers, spinning and weaving
and sewing and cooking, in short, doing
all the work necessary in and about the
house. This gives color to their checks,
and vigor to their constitution. This
is not an over-drawn picture ; if yon do
not believe me, come see for yourself.
You may .rest assured that taxation
ii not the heaviest burden under which
we are now laboring. Our main diffia
oulty under which we groan is that the
number of those who consume the fruits
of Southern labor is too great in eom“
parison with tho number of those who
raise them. Reflect, and you will find
this to be true. Then, while we need
not neglect any other important interest,,
we must go to the fields and produce.—
He who raises but two stalks of corn
where but one grow before is a benefac
tor.
To prove that farmers can do well, if
they will manage correctly, I need only
refer you to one inetanoe in my own
knowledge ; the gentlemen with whom
I am at present residing, Mr. J. F. Mc-
Knight, raised last year plenty of pro
visions, and was enabled lo hold On to
lii< crop of cotton until heobtaired 18 ard
20 cents for it all, and a /onsiderable
orop at that. I consider him a good
farmer. Ife has planted successfully
the herd and orchard grasses upon parts
of his farm, and has thus been enabled
't> f:cd liis stock well nnd keep them
in good condition. lie has planted the
orchard grass in the woods, and it has
done, and is doing well. Success to
such farmors, say I.
I fear the people about here are too
indifferent concerning our political cons
ditim. All need reusing up, or wo are
gone. . We must bo in a hurry, too.
The Radicals, I fear, will depose the
President for his patriotism. Let Pee
ples, Djynl, Irvin & Cos., go on ss they
have begun, and deliver, or help to de
liver os from the bedlamites, Democra
cy is bound to triumph 1 Very respcct
fully. M. E. 11.
