MACON, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1M8.
“Nnw Men.”—Tbe Atlanta papers say that
after the Blodgett negroes and scalawags
were organized as a nominating convention,
on Saturday, Judge Dunning came into the
hall carrying a banner with tho following
inscription: “New Men! Progress and
Harmony Among Ourselves." I1i:9 is an
appropriate motto for the mongrel party,
especially’the first clause of it. They arc
“new men” themselves, fur nobody ever
heard of them before; and their nominees arc
“now men,” raked up from obscurity, just
such men as only a Radical eruption could
have spewed out from the bowel ■ of the
earth. They have new qualifications, too,
for nobody heretofore looked to the qualifi
cations possessed by such men as fitting them
for official position. Tho whole tliihg is
“new,” and strange and unnatural as it is
“new” God help tho State if it should by
any misfortune inll into the hands of such
“new men.”
Foster Blodgett.—The modesty of this
wiro-puller in declining to be a candidate for
Governor is now explained. His aspirations
are National. The Rads at Atlanta, in order
to strengthen Gen. Grant, propose him for
Vice-President ot the United States.
ju??" The McCardlc and Georgia Injunction
cases may bring the constitutionality of the
Tcnure of-officc bill to a judicial decision
sooner than was anticipated. But the ^“Na-
tion” informs us that “if every court in the
country pronounced the Tcnurc-of-officc act
unconstitutional, it would not in the least
improve Mr. Johnson’s position.” This, then,
is ihc determination, to convict the President,
whether he is guilty of the accusations of the
House or not. Radical justice.
Impeachment.—The eleven articles of im
peachment preferred against President John
son will bo found on another page of this pa
per. Butlar'8 amendment travels outside of tho
Stanton affair, and was probably thrown in
as a “sockdoliger.” If, however, the Na
tional Intelligencer is to bo believed, the ar
ticle is more likely to impeach Butler for ly
ing and trickery than it Is to impeach the
President for “high crimes and misdemean
ors.” Alluding to the article,* that journal
says: “It appears, however, on investigation,
that such words were really never uttered by
tho President iu connection with Congress,
but that Butler, with his usual duplicity and
rascality, has garbled tho speeches of Mr.
Johnson, and by mutilating and dovetailing
lias managed to fit into a sentence referring
to Congress a declaration made with refer
ence to certain Radical office-holders. This
fact is so clearly established already, even in
advance of the judicial investigation of the
matter, that no doubt of tho fact can bo en
tertained. The cotcmporancous reports of
tho speech in which it occurs, show this fact
beyond all cavil, and Butler is thus speedily
unmasked snd held jup'again to the contempt
and detestation of all honorable men.”
The Intelligencer quotes from the published
speech of Mr. Johnson at St. Louis, and
proves its positions conclusively. Butler not
only makes the Presidnnt mean what he did
not intcud, but in order to give even appear
ance of gro und, wrested parts of sentences
from their context and put them together
into new sentences not uttered at aH-by the
President.
a strong impression prevails that in
deciding the McCardlc case the Supreme
Court will pronounce the reconstruction
measures of Congress null and void.
TnE President’s Sin.—The House of
Representatives, whose members have been
denouncing tho President as a “usurper,” a
“traitor,” and have in fact, exhausted the
vocabulary of epithets upon him, arc trying
now to impeach him because he has used
language unofficially that was disrespectful
to their body! Is not Congress 09 much
bound to treat the President with respect as
the President is bound to’trrat Congress with
respect ? If cot, w'e would be glad to see a
reason why. Tho Radicals will also please
inform us, if the President is to be impeached
for a specific offence against them, why they
should not also be impeached for the same
offence against him I
Sleepino CAns.—Meeting Mr. E. W. Kim
ball, who has charge of the sleeping car lines
in this section of the country, ivc were glad
to learn that, although tho travel is not very
heavy on the Macon Western Railroad,
they will continue their cars on tho night
trains. The owners have expended a largo
amount of money in finishing these cars in
the best style, insuring a pleasant, comforta
ble and luxurious mode of travel to the pub
lic. The berths are well arranged and per
fectly clean. Besides, one has an opportunity
of travelling through the night and leaving
ihc cars in the morning at his usual hour of
rising in good trim for the business of the
day. There is an extra charge of only two
dollars for a whole berth, and the additional
comfort is well worth the money. Wc hope
these enterprising gentlemen may be remem
bered for their attention to the wants of the
public.
(gy The Boston Post very truly says there
are not half a dozen Republican Senators in
the United States Senate who would be ad
mitted o« a jury to try a case where they had
expressed such personal enmity towards par
ties involved ns they have uttered in the im
peachment question.
There seems to be some mystery sur
rounding the proposed application/or a writ
ot quo warranto against Mr. Stanton, and it
is rumored that the officers are all afraid of
the penalty imposed in the civil office tenure
law, and refuse to participate oven to the ex
tent of official action.
Ijggr The St. Nicholas Hotel property, it
is said, is rented for over $80,000 from Mny

ing, 6tores and all, scarcely reut for less than
$150,000.
TnE New York Charter Elections.—
Tho town elections on Tuesday resulted in
the general success of the Democrats with in
creased gains. In Troy the Hon. M. Bench
was elected Mayor by a majority of t,800. a
gain of 1,200 over last year. At Utica J. T.
®P r 'RK*> Democrat, was elected Mayor by a
majority of 400, again of 25h since lft9t year.
At Rochester Mayor Fish. Democrat, was
re-elected on a gain of 500 on last year’s vote.
Elmira elected a Democratic Mayor and
Town Council; the Republicans for several
years held this town. At Millerton, Palmyra,
Fulton, Lansingburg, Corning, Ithinebeck,
Batavia and Y onkers the Democrats were sue-
cosbIuI on increased majorities.—N. ¥. Com

CHAIR’S OPPORTUNITY.
Circumstances have conspired to throw
extraordinary opportunities for greatness and
promotion before Chief Justice Chase, and
tbat notwithstanding the fact that the politi
cal party to which he belongs is fast hurrying
to disgrace and destruction. The Impeach
ment case in the Senate and Reconstruction
cases in the Supremo Court, both, open up to
him a golden opportunity for vindicating his
statesmanship and patriotism, and his course
might be such as to make the whole coun
try forget the heresies and errors of his past
life. If his course be regulated by justice,
patriotism and a desire for immediate peace
and reconciliation, lie would prove the man
in the breach, and there is no honor that his
countrymen would not be ready to bestow
upon him.
Mr. Chase has made a good beginning in
the Impeachment Court. His course thus far
proves that he docs not intend to be influ
enced by the mad passions nud party hate
that control a majority of that body, but that
he intends to make justice and the law the
rules of his conduct. And lie has influence
with the Senate, too, such ns no member of
that body possesses with his associates, and
the ultra Radicals will find it an up-hill
business when they attempt to run a tilt
against him and dragoon him into compli
ance with their wicked demands. He has
only to show by his course in tho early stages
of the trial tbat he lias no sympathy with the
revolutionary and malignant spirit that dic
tated it, and then avail himself of tho earliest
opportunity to pronounce the Reconstruction
Acts unconstitutional and void—as ho no
doubt regards them—and there is no telling
what change may be brought about in the
public mind, and have their influence in
the coming nominations for the Presidency,
The Democrats and conservative Rcpnbli
cans will elect the next President, in our
opinion, beyond the shadow of a doubt, pro
vided the election shall be controlled by
votes and not by bayonets, and Mr. Chase has
it in his power to make Iiimself prominent
among the candidates for that high position.
Will be be wise enough to embrace the op
portunity ! We shall see.

THE NEGRO-RADICAL CONVENTION
The time of this body on Saturday was de
voted chiefly to the work of organizing as a
party caucus and the nomination of a candi
date for Governor, all essential particulars of
which will be found reported elsewhere.* Be
fore proceeding to this business, the Revision
Committee reported the following plan for
amending the Constitution:
This Constitution may be altered or
amended by a vote of two-tbirds of each
branch of the General Assembly nt each of
two successive regular sessions; but tho elec
tive franchise shall never be token from any
class entitled thereto.
That will do pretty well.

Special to the Loniniile Courier.]
Washington, March C.—Two important
facts were developed in the Court of Im
peachment to-day. First, that Chief Justice
Chase will rale according to law and justice
and cannot be used by the impeachment fac
tion, and that the impeachers will doggedly
follow their original programme to force the
trial through quick, depose tho President and
secure the Executive power.
They will fail, however, for their indecent
haste, together with their candid but indis
creet avowal of their design, have already
awakened distrust of the reflecting men of
the Radical party.
The vote which sustained the Chief Justice
fn his rulings to-day, in even so small a
point, arouses the apprehension of the con
spirators. They writhe over that defeat.—
They were furious at the applause in the
galleries which ensued thereupon, and they
hate the Chief Justice, who calmly and reso
lutely asserted the rights and dignity ot his
high position, and who was so triumphantly
sustained.
They demand the President’s presence next
Friday, bnt it is likely he will desire longer
time for preparation, and it will be granted.
At a Cabinet meeting the President said
the war was against tins Constitution not
against him. It was the last desperate act to
seize the Executive power and subvert the
Government, and he would make his defence
simply as the representative of the liberties
of the people.
The opinion rapidly gains ground that im
peachment will fail. It is not believed caucus
or other party appliances can dragoon in the
support of tile measure such men ns Fesscn-.
den, Trumbull, Anthony, Sprague, Grimes,
Pomeroy, Henderson, Ross and Sherman.
Wade’s fitness ns a judge is aptly illustrated
by an incident the other night, when, after
denouncing the President, lie declared if lie
could get him out lie would do it iu the
shortest timo possible.
Pennsylvania Democratic Convention.
This body convened on Wednesday, nomi
nated candidates for Auditor and Surveyor
General, appointed delegates to the National
Convention,.and adopted the following reso
lution :
Resolved, Tbat the prompt restoration of
all the- States to the enjoyment of equal rights
in the Union is essential to our progress and
prosperity as a nation; that tho Constitution
is the supreme law of the land, and that the
recent attempt of the legislative branch to
usurp the office of the executive and destroy
the judiciary branch of the government are
in utter violation of its spirit; that by rigid
economy in every branch of public service,
taxation should be reduced, and payment of
our indebtedness be assured; that the Re
publican jmrty is responsible lor delay in the
restoration of the Southern States to just re
lations in the Union ; that the President, in
judging of the constitutionality of the Ten
urc-of-office law, was only complying with
bis oath to defend the Constitution; that his
pending impeachment is a gross and reckless
abuse of’partisan power; that a return to
specio payment at the earliest practicable mo
ment is essential to the interests of the people
and country; that the national debt should
bo paid as rapidly as consistent with the laws
upon which the loans were made; that until
the government is able to redeem legal ten
ders in coin bondholders should be required
to receive them in payment; that exemption
of government bonds from taxation is unjust;
that wc recognize with tho deepest gratitude
the efforts of gallant volunteer soldiers; that
it is the duty of the government to protect in
all tlieir rights all citizens, native and natu
ralized, at home autl abroad.

cussion. Judge Fisher decided to release tho prisoner
on two grounds: 1st, becauso Virginia is not a Stato
in the Union; that tho proclamation of tho President,
and moro particularly Congress, by its legislation
have expressly refused to recognize Virginia or tho
other Southern States as forming States of tho Union
that tho requisition of Gov. Piorpont cannot boro
cognized under tho act of Congress providing for ren
dition of fugitives from justice as an act of Executive
authority of a Stato of tho United States. 2d, that
there is no affidavit with thorequisition, showing that
Strong is actually a fugitive from justice.

A Double-Dyed Villain.
On last Sunday night week the dwelling of irj

and fired by some desperate villain, who si;,
murderous crime of arson to that of robbery,
a wholesale robbery, for not content with i>,
small sum of money, trunks of clothing werea

London, March 8.—The debate on tho Alabama
claims is very pacific. Lord Stanley defcndcd|Eng-
land's right to recognize belligerents.
John Stuart Mills said ho regarded the present con
dition of the question as tho Jesuit of a mutual mis
take. Tho real question was. whether England was
bound to prevent such expeditions as that of the
Alabama. 11c denied that tho United States Govern
ment claimed, or could claim, that the recognition of
the South was a violation of law, but duly that it was
an unfriendly, rash and unprecedented act. Tho
American Government only pressed the point for tho
purpose of showing that but for the unfriendly actions
of England the Alabama depredat ions would not have
occurred. •
Mr. 1’ilad-qono inferred from the closing sentences
»f Lord Stanley that communications between tho
two Governments had not closed, and thnt friendly
feelings between the United States and England
would bo preserved. He concluded by saying, if hfe
hole of his head, producing ' inference correct tbe whole country would sup-

of tbe case.
