MACON, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1868.

It will be seen, from the official proceed
ings copied elsewhere, that the Democratic
State Central Committee, which was in ses
sion yesterday and the evening previous,
have recommended to their fellow citizens of
Georgia the Hon. Augustus Reese, of Madi
son, as a candidate for Governor. In view of
the well-knowu character and worth of that
gentleman, we need not tell the reader that
the nomination—or rather suggestion, for the
Committee designed nothing more—meets
our cordial and hearty approval. And we
feel sure it will be quito as cordially and
heartily ratified by the people. Georgia pos
sesses no better man than Judge Reese.
The virtues of her favorite motto, “Wis
dom, Justice and Moderation,” are beau
tifully blended and illustrated in his charac
ter and life. He is “native and to the man
ner born,” a son of the soil, a Georgian, nur
tured in her lap, and in every impulse and in
terest identified with tho welfare and glory
of the State. Long in the public service, in
every position to which he has been called,
he has been true to her prosperity and good
name, and at the same time won golden opin
ions for hiinsclfi He is no aspirant after
office, and when a despotic military com
mander required of him to lower the
dignity of the Bench and disregard the laws
of his State, he did not hesitate to throw
off the ermine and retire to private life.—
His judicial career has been marked by a
sacred regard for the rights of all, the high
and the low, black as well as white. His
numerous decisions since emancipation show
that while he is opposed to elevating the
black man to positions of responsibility for
which he is unfit, he is a true friend to the
race and will protect them in the lrec enjoy
ment of every right.
In h is personal character, Judge Reese is
ono of nature's uoblemcn. He is kind and
affable to all, a favorite wherever known, and
tho very man in all respects who deserves the
confidence, the respect, and even the affec
tions of the people. There is not a man in
the State to whose intelligent and faithful
hands the vast powers conferred by the pro-
MKKTINQ OF THE DEMOCRATIC CEN
TRAL COMMITTEE.
Rooms Ckntrai, Executive Committee,
National Democratic Party of Ga.,
Macon, Ga., March 18, 1868.
Pursuant to the call of the Chairman, the
Central Executive Committee of the National
Democratic Party ot Georgia convened last
evening, and continued their session through
to-day. The following proceedings were
ordered to be published.
Resolved, That in view of all tlie circum
stances, it is not expedient at the present
time to call a State Convention for the pur
pose of nominating a candidate for Governor.
Unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That the opinions and feelings of
the National Democratic party of Georgia
and of the United States upon the unconsti
tutionality and injustice of the Reconstruc
tion Acts of Congress, are too decided and
well known to require reiteration here. Their
opposition to the action of the several Con
ventions called in pursuance of those Acts,
and to the effort to establish the supremacy
of the Negro race in the South, and to place
the destinies of these States in the hands of
adventurers and irresponsible persons, is
equally decided and well known. Yet,
warned by the fate of Alabama, and actn
ated by the instinct of self-preservation,
we feel it to be our duty, to the extent
of our power, to provide against every
contingency, and therefore would urge upon
our friends to participate in the elections
which are to be held on the 20th April, prox
imo, to the end that the best and wisest men—
permanently identified with Georgia, and
who will administer her government in the
interests of the people, and not for the pur
poses of plunder—be chosen to organize the
government and frame the laws under which
we and our posterity may have to live.
Resolved, That in view of these principles
and objects, we recommend to the people of
every name and faith who have the honor
and welfare of the State at heart, that able
jurist, conservative statesman, and incorrupti
ble patriot, Hou. Augustus Reese, of the
county of Morgan, as their candidate for
Governor of Georgia at the approaching
election.
Resolved, That we urge upon our friends
throughout the State, the vital importance of
organizing thoroughly and forthwith, and
putting in the field, for all public ollices,

In all respects, contrast him with the Con
necticut adventurer and Express agent who
camo to our State ns it were but yesterday,
and whom, with little interest and no quali
fication, a band of wicked conspirators
against tho public treasury have bad the
shameless audacity to put in formal nomina
tion for the gubernatorial chair of Georgia—
an insult alike to the virtue and intelligence
of the people. No Georgian who loves his
State and respects himself can hesitate be
tween the two.
We sincerely trust, and have good reasons
for the belief, that Judge Reese will accept
the post assigned him by the unanimous voice
of the Committee, and lend his great influ
ence to save the State from unutterable dis
grace, and her people from a worse than
Egyptian bondage.

The Tycoon ok Japan.—The followiti
personal description of the present Ty<
is from the Yeddo correspondent of a
Francisco paper :
The Tycoon is a small man, of olive com
plexion, with regular features, more Cauca
sian than Mongolian, and a large intelligent
eye. His expression was that of a man who
hag many affairs of importance upon his
mind, but bis smile was free, cordial and
pleasant ns n woman’s. His dress was a long,
wide sleeved robe of violet crape; upon
which was embroidered in some duiker color
the trefoil of his family; about his neck and
under his robe, but showing above it, was
folded a white crape scarf. His 'tvide trow*
sers were of silk and gold thread woven to
gether, and Were worn only to the ankles, so
that below one could eoo white stock ings
with which alone Ins feet were covered —
lie wore no sword, but in his hand a painted
fan. Hi-, head was bare.

tered over hills and dales, and speaking what
the tongue cannot express.
amount to that sum, may transfer them 83 j be mado by separate vote, was adopted,
above, and the District Court will issue exe
cution in defiance of Blodgett’s homestead or
Bullock’s relief.
Another source of trouble is the discovery
that he who ignores an old judgment, be
lieving himself “relieved,” and pays one of
subsequent date, commits an act of involun
tary bankruptcy, and the Bankrupt Court
can interfere and take possession of his
property without tlie least reference to the
acts of tho Convention.
Tlie impeachment excitement has almost
subsided. Since tlie 95,000 men from New
York, armed and equipped to sustain the
President to tfie last extremity, and the
Geary, Fenton and Logan legions, eager to do
battle for Congress, have abandoned tbeir
purpose and remained at home, flic “imbro (
lio” has become prosaic. Popular opinion
is all on the side of President Johnson.
Many think be has made the fight where bis
position is weakest and his resources least
effective; bul, as between him and Congress,
everybody thinks he must be right and Con
gress must be wrong. When I wrote every
body, I was wrong. Sixty-one members of
the Convention—all the negroes, except Jack
Bell, and all the straight-out Radicals—voted
to indorse the action of the House of Repre
sentatives in impeaching Andrew Johnson.
Sixty-two members of tbe Convention voted
agaiust the resolution, and thus Mr. Bryant
sustained the'greatest defeat of his political
life. Had Jack Bell only voted aye, there
would have been a tie; but to be in a mi
nority on a purely Radical question, and that
by tlie defection of a negro delegate, was a
heavy blow. Quondam.
Anecdote ok Eugenie.—A letter written
by an American lady in Paris, published in
the Washington Star, contains tbe following
story of the Empress:
Last Wednesday week the Emperor and
Empress attended one of the small theatres
to see the play of “Comte Jacques.” On the
stage a charming young girl took a part in
which it was necessary to feign weeping, but
tbc girl wept bitterly, and the Empress was
so much Impressed that she sent for the stage
manager after the act to inquire who the girl
was, and desired him to ascertain tliecnuscof
her tears. The young girl answered very in
nocently that she had a lover to whom she
was devotedly attached, but his father would
net let him marry her until she would bring
him a dowry’ of a thousand francs, which she
had not, and so she would have to give him
up, which would break her heart. As this
play represented her case, she could not keep
back the tears, bnt she hoped no one would
observe them. Her grief, however, did not

Only Messrs. Stanbery, Curtis and Nelson, of the

Considering the light times, wo do not think this

sufficient to build them a new house of worship,

this has not been definitely decided upon. Should it,
we shall have something to say thereon.

Couldn’t Understand tbe Difference.
It seems a hard matter to eonvinco some of our col
ored population, "since freedom came,” that tho tak
ing, appropriating or using the property of another,
without the knowledge or consent of tho owner, is
neither more nor less than stealing. They can’t get
tho fact through their wool, talk to them as you may.
A case in point was before His Honor yesterday, in
which two colored women, Martha O’Niel and Char
lotte Wilson, figured thusly:
An old negro woman, out of employment, got per
mission of Charlotte Wilson to leave a lot of her
clothing and other things at her house, until she (tho
leaver) could get a place. A day or two after, Char
lotte opened the old woman’s bags and helped herself,
and gave a lot of tho things to Martha. She acknowl
edged taking them, but said she did not consider it
"stealing,” only taking.
This Charlotte AVikon has been employed at the
Isaac’s House until recently, and things had been
missing from that Hotel. Tho Mayor gave the officer
instructions to inquire into the matter, and if she did
not surrender the stolen articles to hold her in arrest.

Faying for HU Fun.
The man whom we mentioned as captured by officer
Satterfield, for fighting and disorderly conduct, was
onahighold bum, and was out on a knockingdown
spree generally. Ho assaulted and knocked down a
peaceable old colored man. who was on his way to the
lower portion of tho city, on an errand for his em
ployer. This happened near the Blind Asylum. The
old man immediately made complaint to Mayor
Obcar, who dispatched Satterfield to make the arrest.
Taking the old negro with him. Satterfield started in
pursuit, and when near the Vineville Branch, found
tho man he was after. It seems that after beating the
old negro, his assaulter pitched into and beat a white
man, whose face he marked up pretty badly. On
catching sight of Satterfield, tho belligerent attempt
ed flight, but Satterfield soon coming within striking
distance, brought him down by a well directed blow.
Refusing to walk, Satterfield obtained a dray and
hauled him to the Guard-house, llis Honor fined
him $23 and costs. This penalty, it is hoped, will keep
the pugnacious individual quiet in the neighborhood,
to which, it is said, ho has long been a terror.

The New York Times, pays the followin |
touching tribute to her memory. I
Speaking of her* debut and of Julia Dan - ; I
early years, Ireland, in his History of the I
New York Stage, writes: “Youthfol, grip-1
ful, delicately pretty, with a slight Hi’bmis; j
cast of features, she at once awakened the I
public interest, and her intelligence mi]
graceful study lent a charm to her perform-fe
auce which soon carried her to a point rfl
popularity rarely exceeded.” It is thispic-8
ture of Julia-*9esa- which Anost hahituil
play-goers carry in tbeir memories. Herisl
appearances iu this City, at tbe Brotdnfl
Theatre in October of 1807, offered so stdil
contrast in every sense to this healthful pcr-l
trait ns to be remarkable. Bat Julia Deal
bttf lomi unwisely and suffered greatlykl
the interim. For several years after he
debut she proved a powerful attraction cl
the Astor-place Opera House, at the Broii-I
way Tiu-atie and at Niblo’s Garden, iw
she produced Miles’ “Senor A'aliente." Sal
was also the first star of the Metropolis
Theatre, afterwards known asAVinterGinle
and there appeared inN.P. Willis’ lragedyr
“Tortesa, the Usurer.” Out of New Tort]
Julia was, daring the greater part of tercel
reer, the most:profitable attraction anyuml
ger could secure. In one of these, her h^-|
piest and golden days, she married Dr.Hijs
in Galveston, Texas. This was Januirt:
1855. Tlie chilling results of that Jhki’I
wedding need not be repeated here. Thetl
