Is the Radical den entirely broken up in Co lombo* f Inform us, Messrs. Sun and Enquirer. tSt" Old Bard, of the Era, has cor. tainly relaxed his grip. Since he “closed his rear,” he ha* ripped, pitched, snor ted, cavorted, howled, raved, and done everything to get op a little enthu siasm for his favorite Bullock and other cattle, but the old minstrel has played finally out.

Joe struck a posture of horror, when the gont removod his outside face, and revealed the features of Stonewall Jackson ! Joe fled a few paces down the street, and fainted.

It Is well known that though a devoted admirer of Lochr/tne, wo do not s’together admire hts politic*, or we should sir rather the wondcrftil ado ft nor* with which be ac* cominodatos his political views to all crowds and occasions.

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 contemplate* an early removal to anoth er Btate. In accordance with the ar rangement* made by tbe CommitUe, composed of Messrs. Peeples, Beck and Alexander, a majority of the members of the profession, residing in the place a few from a distance, with the resident ofiieers of tbe Court, assembled at the parlor of the Georgia Hotel at 3} P. M,. when Col. Cincinnatos Peeples was se lected as Chairman of the meeting, and 'Ruler of tbe Feast, and J. M. Campbell requested to act as Secretary. The fol lowing resolutions were offered by Mr. Beck, and, on motion, unanimously adopted : Resolved, That tbis Bar have heard with profound regret, that our esteemed brother, J. Q. A. Alford, Esq., contem plates an early removal from our city and State. Resolved, That our associate and 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 him long and woll. Asa Lawyer— honest, 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 brother Alford with a copy of these res olutions. At four o’clock oar host announced dinner in readiness. The President took hie place at tho head of the board ; our guest, Col. Alford, was seated at ’his right and Col. Irvin on his left, Col. 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. 2nd. “Tit* Members of tur Legal Profession : Liberat and sociable, ever ready to defend the oppressed, defy op. pressor* and oppose error and tyranny” —by Mr, Beck. Responded to by Col.

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 next term. Den. Hancock has issued an order to day assuming command of the Division of the Atlantic, with his headquarters in Washington. The Division embraces the departments of the East, of Wash ington, and of the Lakes. 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. Cartbksviu.b, Ga., March 3L—Full delegations from all the counties were in attendance to-day. General P. M. B. Young was nomi nated on the second ballot. Tho Convention was harmonious. Tremendous mani fested in favor of Irwin. The Constitution was denounced in bittor term*. Powerful speeches were taado by Warren Aiaeu and Geo. N. Lester. Col Waddie and Lewis Tumlin wore elected delegates to the New York Na tional Democratic Convention; Pike Hill and Maj. Stance nlternaes. The white man’s cause is in the a~- ccndant. Ski.ma, March 31.—Judge Pops, of the twelfth circuit of Alabama was ar rested yesterday at Jacksonville by the military authorities arid confined, for his failure or refusal to execute tbe ne gro jury orders. Judge Pope was always an original out and out Union man. 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 diary circular, which is causing consid erably excitement: ’ Notice. —All bad men in the city of Savannah who now threaten the lives of leaders and nominees of the R 'publican party, presidents aud members* of the Union League of America, it - you should strike a blow, the mao or men will be followed, and tho house in which he or they take refuge will be burned to the ground. Take hoed 1 Mark well 1— Members of tbe Union League, rally! rally ! rally ! for God, life and liberty.” 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. John White, a respectable citizen nf PowlmMan, was found dead in that coun ty, with five bullet hole! jn big body. Washington, April 2. —The Strong 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. In tho Senate, after the reading of the Journal Drake moved to amend the 7th rule, which lays over. Two witnesses examined, but nothing new elicited. General Emory nnd Colonel Wallace 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.

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.

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. cand'idatel!
