He intended to stand faithfully by the constitutien and laws; would carry <ut the object of all civil government* He is against the abuse of the pardoning power. The chief mag istrate must not only call around him hon est men. but must have his own hands clean. He alludes that Georgia will pay all her legal indebtedness; repudiation was not dreamed of.

From the Savnns;h Republican . CHICAGO AND JvMES FIS it So un v.-isal and uncharitable have been lh< j comments upon the death and career of the nnlortiU) ite man who Fell under-the hand of a Cowardly assassin in New Y >rk, Saturday last, - that we h ive felt an iuteres l to review out Chicago fi and see ihe impression made upon that city by the tra gic event. They came to hand yesterday and we quote as follows from a long arth ole nrthe Tribune: “A bad, bold man has ,come to a stop in his career by the hand of an assassin and the honest people of New York, and of the entire country, will brea'he more freely now that he has gone. The manner of his death could not have Iven unexpected to his friends. No man can lead such a life of fraud and debauchery without ex posing himself at every step to the v<-n --gi atice of acme one of his victi ns. Such a fact is inevitable, and only points to the old ti nt!), “that crime brings at last its own punishment. There will berm sym pathy felt ferthe deceased by i giit minded persons, while there may be a regret that the law was not sufficiently powerful to protect the community and vindicate it self by punishing him to an extent com mensurate with the* enormity of his career. * * * ****** * * *. “The murderer was the counterpart of the murdered. He only lacked the oppor tunities and the money to be as great a scoundrel. ** * ******** * '•There is nothing in his career upon which one can linger with pleasure, or commend for popular imitation, lie'leaves held and him nothing which men will care to remember, and he will now fade out of public pr- iuiuence much more rapidly than iie rose into it.” No, von forget—and it is strange how soon sCrne people can forget. There ’a at least one act m the career of Fisk that may be commended for ‘‘imitation," and which at least one community in this country should “care to remember, ’ and (Vel bound to Ho it by the highest and most sacred obligation that can rest on civil z* and men gratitude, vt.d that and nimttuity is Chicago wlnun hesuccioed in her sorrow, and who now comes forwaid to fl mg filth and gar huge upon his new made giave. AW re member tlie di§asterons conflagration that desolated that fair city but a few weeks r.go—how her people by hundreds of thous ands, bereft ot their homes, were turned out to the iavages ot ioingei* and the mercy of the elements, many of them naked us well as homeless. No sooner did the tale of her woe reach the city of New York tlun one man leaped foiward to the rescue. He Inlped, hini-elf, ami made ethers help. He poured out tieely of h,:* ■wn wealth, and then, with, a grai and precession of wag ons, himself on the ooXofthe leader, with the reins in hand, marched through the streets of New Y ak, proceed by a band, and collected Dm 'he charitably disposed am *ng her merchants and private citizens.,; food and raiuieni fur the stiff rs.' His who«jr heart was iu the matter, and the result. A tram load of 1 e'icfJjjjflHpb. 1-cted in a single day, and, m*t jflHßvr for the tardy movements of *ials, he dispatched the grand <£flEp»ftti»u over his own line tree of eosysßii instruct ions t<> the engineers *•> 'namHKSotahi th in forty miles per hour, in i't <»{ >p ag£*k The train arrived tn titfSp d, and a lids were fed and earthed valuable freights, and en dwr return t., New York golden medals were hung around the en gineers that had accomplished the feat. Chicago was grealful than. That man watt James Fi*K,junior, whose character after death Chicago now volun teers to blacken, declareng, at that early day When the smoke is still ascending from her ruins, that “there is nothing in his car-» eer upon which one can linger with pleas* u:e, or « f for popular mutation, a and that ’'»<* leaVe* behind Trim nothing which met wti! care to remember/* Oil, the base ingr&mnde of this world! God help the memories of the Chicago people! F*sk tn»y have been & bad man m many respects, and .doubtless was ; but when the grave has covered him, his beneficiaries, at least, should 1«. silent over his faults. Organisation of OemocrOtlc Clubs* All Deue ctals in the (Jnued States op posed to l' F New Departure or Passive Dem ocracy,p, mac rat, are nr xLittc ,?fi ; every city, viliagh town and school'dis trict, and eveiy place whert? such organ ization secure Tor caucuses, primary con ventions, and thus for State and Natioual Conventions, good men and earnest ones as representatives. The NationalDenriocra ic Goramittee has played out long since* It is a committee for ornament and not for use. More than three years have elapsed since the commit tee has bei-n heard from. Not a move lias been made toward organizing the party or consolidating its voters. Not a sugges tion has tx-en made' ad rilar expended, or one part icle of woi k done for the here fit of •h it Democracy which is soon to enter upon tite greatest campaign this country ever wit iiosw4*d. What is wanted, is a Democrat club in 'ever* town, county ward and city of the United Star<*s—an organization made up of active,'nduhtrious, determined working-* men ; men who dare defend their own inte rests ; men who dare nominate, vote for and elect snob men as will protect the interest o' the people rather than labor and legis late for the benefit of the theives and specu lators, who every year are glowing stron ger and more powerful. This organization is not intended for the henifit of any one fhan as an individual.— It is in no way connected with any rimr, ♦eliqne or cohinarion. Tlie object of the Dem 'UG’ts in different pa-ts of tlio country, who engage in this work is to perfect those primary organization, which will develop? able and men in sympathy with la bor every wlthre. Where they have beeflrper f< cted arid work carried on by those organ tz< j d, the best results have followed. Good men have been nominated and elec ed. Trickster** professional office-hunters, mere politicians, defaulters', petty thieves and swindlers have been kept out, as the wor kiugsineii have decided to no longer vote for such robbers and plunderers. By ihese organizations it is in the power of every township, every county, and evers State, to rid itself of deserving office-holders. The work which is begun in a town Can be extended to a county or confined to its origanial limits: or it can be extended to every township in the county and thus to every county in the State, till tlie peoph , everywhere working together in sympathy, determined to defend the inte rests of the indust rions, shall secure for their towus, counties and States, better governments, and for themselves lesser tax ation and more benefits than the laws now give.
