General Gordon stated most posts ively that bis financial condition and he necessities of his new position n: attorney of the Louisville and Nash' viilo Kail road were such ns to compel him u. resign his position as United ■SLate-i nator at once, and yet it ■•ems that his whole time since that i nportnnl event has been given to an elive can.mss in behalf of the re-lec- ion of hi- friend Governor Colquitt. Now this «eems a little stiange to the people of Georgia, who think General t iordon should at least try and pre orve a little more consistency be tween his statements and- his actions. SELL TIIK STATE HOAD. If wt.ni “ Hatnilcar” says in his ■•ommuniention in this issue be true, and it nil seems a very plausible ver sion of the recent political movements in Georgia, then by all means, let the next legislature pasa an act authori- v.iiig the side of the Western and Ats antic railroad. This road has been a source of great trouble in Georgia, and should r.ot be permitted to be the medium of further trouble in our State polities. Now is a good time to sell it, as its condition is good, its stock valuable, auil the road in ac tive demand with the railroad combi nalionisls and monopolists. By all means let it be sold. AGUBF.RXATORIAL 81 GULSTKi.V. There is a law in Georgia provid ing that when the office of Governor is made vacant front death, resigna tion or other cause, that the Piesident of the Snimte shall act as Governor protein, until a successor is elected by the people. Now, as Governor Col* guilt lias vacated the Gubernatorial Chair, to make a tour of the State in explinatioii of the blunders of his ad ministration, and canvassing for bis re-election, and as Hon. Rufus E. Lester, the President of the Senate bus very properly and very modestly declined to canvass the State in the interest of his nomination for tbeGor- ernorship, would it not be well to request him to proceed to Atlanta and take charge of the affairs ol State until Governor Colquitt finishes bis electioneering canvass and explanato ry lour throughout the State ? If in order we respectfully submit the proposition to the honest voters and int.-rested tax-payers of Georgia. HANCOCK,'* FIRST BOOM I.V GEORGIA. The Atlan'a Constitution resur rects the following from the proceed ings of the Georgia Constitutional Convention, which met in 1868: On the 18th day of January, 1868, the Georgia Consti: utioual Convention being then in session, Col. James D. Waddell ofTered resolutions, which,on motion, wero taken up. We append the resolutions in full: llesolved, 1, That all men, from tfie highest magistrate to tbs hum blest citizen, who bears true faith and allegiance to the fundamental priori- pi- s of republican government and popular liberty are entitled to the (ountenance, sympathy and encour agement of this convention. llesolved, 2, That Major-General Winfield S. Hancock, commander of the fifth military district, has shown himself such a man that he ia entitled to the thanks of.lbfa convention for hit late orders wherein thoso principles are so unmistakably avowed, and that this convention heartily congratulates the people of Louisiana and Texas on their good fortune in having for a military commander a gentleman who adheres to the great principle of pop ular liberty as contained iu tho con stitution of tho United States, and inculcated by the fathers and founders • < tho republic. •Sm,’ said Gen. Grant, *thon wag- •"Ml y t nguc ov« rniuch, and follow • ml in ilic (outstep- of lliy father, the a lent man Speech is silver, but 81- I • e.o is golden, and every time yon . pone, i your jaws, yon idiot, you da* CJiioKsl oil y.„ir poor pa' i <han cs | The Albany Evening Advertiser in commenting upon Governor Colquitt’s speech made in that town, says : “According to the argument' used by Governor Colquitt tn bis Albany speech, if the people do not send Joe Brown back to the Senate, the North will point the finger ot scorn at them and cry oat ‘treason, treason—rebell ion in Georgia!—disloyal to the Un ion !!’ etc." Now, Democrats of Georgia, it is a fact well known to every one at all familiar with the circumstances, that Governor Cjlqnitt and his Damon, General Gordon have as little use for ex Governor Joseph E. Brown as the Devil has for Holy Water. Then it must have been very peculiar circum stances which would have induced the Governor to ignore his prejudices against Governor Brown; utterly disregard the Democracy of the Slate which had made him Governor, and actually turn his back upon those true and prominent men of Georgia, who had stood by him in adversity as well as prosperi y to take to liis bosom aud nurse iulo political lifo and prom, inence, one who, from the record, and the oft expressed opinions of Governor Colquitt and General Got don must be to them the most distasteful man all Georgia. This net is of itself enough to disgust, outrage aud destroy all confidence on the part of the pco- pie in any such Governor. For when a man is unmindful, forgetful and untrue to his best and irusst friends, bow can be be expected to prove true and loyal to the people be presumes to represent? But then, wlist is worse than all of this Governor Colquitt now comes forward in the attitude of regular bulldozer. »nd says in eflect to the people of Georgia, it makes no difference whether you like my ap pointment of Governor Brown or not, you must see to it that he is endorsed and elected by tbe next Legislature, if not then you have put yourselv where our Northern enemies will charge you with being guilty of trea sun, ot being retiellious, and disloyal to the Union. In the name of cam mon justice, was high-lianded bull, dozing ever before so bold, ever be fore so offensive to an honest people who believe they have a right to judge and act’ for themselves. It matters aot whether Governor Brown’s ap pointment be acceptable or not to the people, they roust endorse him, or be charged by the Goveruor makiug the appointment, with being guilty of that which will bring the charge of high crime upon our commonwealth. Tbe people of Georgia have had to submit to a great dual that was unjust and oppressive, but we do not believe that they are so far lost to all aelf-respect and independence, as to submit to being bulldozed and bull-ragged in any such manner as is now being at- ttmpted by their Chief Magistrate and their ex-Uuited States Senator. If Governor Colquitt and General Gordon think they can succeed in do ing just as they please, irrespective the rights and wishes of tbs people, and then coeroe them into acceptance ann acquiesence by blaziug the high way of their selfish and arbitrary pro cedures with their war records, their purity aud incorrnptihleness of char acter, they will find that they have greatly under-rated the retributive justice which yet survives in the hearts and determinations of the honest peo ple of old Georgia. a good and and great man. The Democrats have not made any mistake this time. They have nominated an excellent and a strong ticket.’ Americas has 3,60o inhabitants: Albany 2,800. Garfield’s friends say, soothingly, that he can falll hack on bis seat in the United States Senate. The telegrams of congratulation sent to Geueral Hancock by Senator Bayard, Mr. Tilden aud Senator Thurman arc in marked contrast with the sullen silence of Grant toward bis successful competitor. Tbe village of Saratoga has 11,000 inhabitants in the Winter, and 20,000 more in the Summer. Three boys less than nineteen years of age, were receutly hung iu Ohio for murder.
