Good News—Stanton Suspend
ed and Grant appointed.
Washington, Aug. 12.—The Presi
dent on Saturday morning, sent a com
munication to Stanton suspending him
from his office as Secretary of War,
and directing him to transfer the re-
Cords, books, &c., to General Grant,
and informing Stanton that Grant had
been empowered to act as Secretary of
War ad interim. At the same time
authority was sent Grant authorizing
him to act as Secretary of War ad in
terim, and directing him at once to
ehter upon the duties of the office.
At noon the President received a
note from Stanton, denying the Presi
dent’s right, under the Constitution
and Laws, to suspend Stanton without
the consent of the Senate or legal
cause 5 but inasmuch as the General
commanding the armies of the United
States had notified Stanton that Gcn’l
Grant had accepted the appointment
as Secretary of War ad interim, Stan
ton had no alternative but to submit,
under protest, to superior force.
Gen’l Grant has assumed charge of
the War Department, and appeared at
the Cabinet meeting to-day, fir the
purpose of considering certain ques
tions with regard to the territory re
cently acquired'from Russia.
The papers presented by Dunham
alias Conover, as ground for pardon,
contain no word impugning Ashley,
Butler, or other persons.
The first communication from the
Executive Department to Gen. Grant;
Secretary of War ad interim, was is
sued at 2 o’clock to day and refers to
Louisiana matters. The order it is
said on good authority is in harmony
with the views of Catlin.
An Order from Gea. Schofield
Richmond, Aug. 12.—Gen. Scho
field has issued an order to day, in
which military commissioners are re
minded that they are to be governed
in the discharge of their duties by the
laws of Virginia, as far as the same
are not in conflict with the laws of the
United States, or orders issued from
these headquarters ; and that they are
-not to supercede the civil authorities
except in cases of necessity. The ac
tion or failure to act of the civil offi
cers, should be fully reported, in or
der that the commanding General may
hold them to a proper accountability
for any neglect of duty.
The case of Wm. James, Collector
of Internal Revenue for this District,

THE ENTERING WEDGE-
Our telegraphic dispatches bring us
the gratifying intelligence that the
President has at last displaced Secre
tary Stanton, and appointed Genera]
Grant Secretary of war ad interim.—
Thus President Johnson turns out his
enemy and strengthens himself by
placing the General in- Chief in sole
command of the year department.—
Johnson and Grant may now turn out
Phil Sheridan, and begin the great re
action which must restore the ururped
powers of tho P.esident, the constitu
tion to tho Government, and the
South to the Union. The appoint
ment of Grant we trust, is the enter
ing wedge to tho final overthrow of the
Radicals.
REGISTRATION.
Let it be remembered that the Board
of Registration for Thomas County,
will be in Thomasville on Thursday.
Friday and Saturday next, tho 15th,
16th and 1 - ill of August, for the pur
pose of registering those who may not
have registered previously, and for the
purpose of completing the reg stration
for the county. Let every man regis
ter who can, and remember that if you
have not registered in your district or
precinct, you can still reg ster at Thom
asville at the time aopointed above.
TURNING OFF THE FREED
MEN.
Our exchanges inform us that the
Freedmen have been discharged by
the wholesale, throughout the State of
Tennessee, for voting the Radical tick
et at the late election for Governor of
that State. General Carlin is doing
all in his power to prevent them from
suffering, hut finds it impossible to
obtain employment for the large num
bers discharged. He has .appointed
-Judge Lawrence to lake charge of the
discharged negroes of Middle Tennes
see, and advises him to advertise by
telegraph, both North and South, that
laborers can bo supplied. A depot
has been established in Nashville for
all who have no homes, and transpor
tation is provided for all those who
may desire to leave tho State, and
“good o-tizeng white and black” are
entreated to alleviate their hardships.
Ihis action of the Tennesseeans
will precipitate a population of near
100,000 blacks to bo distributed be
tween the States of Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi, to add to their alrea
dy heavy burden, and foreshadows the
future of tho remaining slave States.
Tho Radicals North, have set up a
great howl over this measure of the
Tennesseean’s, but while we do not
endorse the conduct of Tennessee, they
have no right to complain, for we
duro to say that the northern hypocrites
have always practiced the same mea
sure with white men in their factories.
The factory hands would not dare vote
against their employers.
THE GULF ROAD NEWS.
Tho above is tho titlo of a now pa'
per to be published in Thomasville)
commencing about the middle of Sep
tember, provided sufficient patronage
can be obtained to warrant its publi
cation. Mr. T. J. Wombwell is an.
nounced as its editor, and as it is well
understood that he is only tho repre
sentative of certain leading Recon
struct ionists about town, and will ope
rato upon their capital tho new paper,
or “ Gulf Road Ncu must, us a
matter of courso, support tho views of
those individuals, no matter what pro
tentions may bo held forth in tho pros
pectus which wo publish to-day 'as a
matter of courtosy only. Reconstruc.
tiun means now nothing more nor less
than Radicalism, and in a very brief
period Reconstruction will be dropod
for Radicalism just as it was done in
Tennessee.
If therefore, the "Gulf Road News"
supports tho views of its founders (and
wo know that it will,) the editoi would
have been more honest if ho had bold
ly announced that he was about to
publish in Thomasvillo a Radical
paper.
We may have inoro to say on tho
subject in future, mean'ime if we tread
upon any ones toes, our columns are
open for reply.
SHOOTING AEFAIR AT BOS
TON.
A difficulty occurred at Boston, in
this oounty, on Friday last, between
James Hancock and a man named
Flowers. Flowers boastingly threw
down Hancock’s fence, when the br
ier rubbed his fist in his face Flow
ers then went to his store and got a
pistol, and returning threatened to
shoot Hancock if he repeate i tho of
fence. Tho offence was immediately
repeated, when Flowers fired tho pis.
tol at Hancock, the bull taking effect
in the loft breast. Flowers then fled,
und although pursued by tho Sheriff
was not overtaken. Hancock was not
dead at last account, but lies danger
ously wounded.

THE SURRATT TRIAL
The jury in the Surratt trial could
not agree, and were discharged by
Judge Fisher. Mr. Bradley protested,
on the part of the .prisoner,against the
discharge of tho jury, but tho motion
for discharge prevailed.
Judge Geo. 11. Fisher, Judge of the
Criminal Court, thon immediately read
an order to the Court, reciting the
conduct of Joseph H. Jlradley, Esq.,
on the 2d of July, in vhich he was
charged with contempt cf Court, and
Judge Fisher concluded By dismiss
ing him from the Bar, by ordering his
name to be stricken from the roll. Mr
Bradley arose to his feet and pro
nounced the charges nude by Judge
FisheV as false in every particular, but
the Judge ordered the Court to be
immediately adjourned, and left the
room. Bradley followed him amid
great excitement of the populace, and
finding him on a strcit car, entered
aud handed him a nAe,which all sup
posed to be a challenge. Apprehend
ing a personal rencounter, the police
also followed Bradley, and one of them
remained by him while he was on the
car. Some say Brad-ey’s note was
only a reply accepting Fisher’s verbal
challenge. At any rate a duel was
expected, and the importance of the
Surratt ease was for the time entirely
swallowed up by the overshadowing
importance of the difficulty between
the Judge and Attorney Bradley.
RADICAL CANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS.
The Macon Telegraph, tlinks the
Radicals are so elated arupelovatcd by
their triumph under Brovnlow in
Tennessee, that they will now no lon
ger think of running Grant for Presi
dent, an-1 accept none but an out and
out Radical, who will doubtless be
Chase or some other civilian of the
party. In that event the Telegraph
thinks the President should not re
move Phil. Sheridan, lest he be caught
up by ihe Radicals si a persecut'd
Radical, and thrust upon tho country
as a candidate for the Presidency, and
dangerous to Gen. (-rant’s success as
a Conservative candid te, first, on ac
count of tho rcla'ions existing between
them, and recoiid, because many of the
soldiers might vote for Sheridan, who
would otherwise yo for Grant.
The Telegraph is a good specula
tor, hut we should say off with Sheri
dan's head.
NO COLORED MEN ELECTED.
In the late Tennessee election where
tho colored people held the balance of
power, and constituted the largest por
tion cf the majority given to Brown
low, not a single colored man was elec
ted to office. Thus the Radicals are
carrying out their sentiments. The
colored man is good enough to vote
for Radicals, but ho is not good
enough to hold office, and the Radicals
won t vote f< r colored men.
SCOTT’S MAGAZINE.
Wc have received the July number
of this popular Magazine, and the Au
gust numbor will probably reach here
in September. It is a long way from
here to Atlanta, wliero it is published,,
and the mail facilities possibly very
bad. Wo hope the editor will soon
liuvo better facilities for circulating a
Magazine really in every way worthy
of the most liberal patronage.
Thon and Now!
It, was throe days after tho battle of
Dull Hun that the following resolution
was adopted with scarcely a dissenting
vote, by both Houses ofCcngress:
RESOLVED, Tnat the present de
plorable civil war has boon forced upon
tho country by tho disunionists of tho
Southern States now in revolt against
the Constitutonal Government, and
in arms around the Capitol—that, in
this Nutionul emergency, Congress
banishing all feeling ot more passion
or resentment, will recollect only its
duty to tho whole country ; and that
this war is not prosecuted on our part
in any spirit oi oppression, nor for the
purpose of conquest or subjugation nor
for the purpose of overthrowing or in
terfering with the rights or established
institutions of those States, but to de
fend and maintain tlio supremacy of
the Constitution, and all laws made in
pursuance thereof, and to preserve the
Union, with all the dignity, equality
and rights ol tho several States unim
paired, and that as soon as these ob
jects are accomplished tho war ought
to coaao.
Conservative State Covontion.
Our cotemporary of the Chronicle
and Sentinel, in a column artiole of
great force, calls for a t’onvontion to
organizo a party opposed to the pres
ent Radical party, and to counteract
the influence of th • emisaries sent
among us and those of our own citizens
who are becoming Africanized. We
cordially endorse the movement, and
suggest Wednesday, tho 16th of Sep
tember, and Milledgeville the place.
We say Milledgeville, because in days
past, the old party conventions met
here, and the Cupitol is the building
for such things. Our hotel aocoiunio

haps cheaper, than any other city.—

TO THE MEN OF COLOR IN
THOMAS COUNTY.
• Number 10.
I havo shown you in my preceding
numbers, that the wiley Yankee of the
North only wishes to have any thing
to do with you in proportion as he can
carry out his own purposes with you.
If he cannot use you for his own hen
fit, be certain he will do nothing wi'h
or for you for your own. It is true,
they have a stupid, fanatical populace
among them, who have been deluded
into the belief by their crafty and hy
pocritical leaders, that the Southern
white people, men and women, are in
carnate devils, who have been doing
you evil and nothing but evil all your
lives. But their leaders know better;
they know, that while the white peo
ple at the South have been using your
labor, they have been feeding, cloth
ing and sheltering you; making pro
vision for your comfort in sickness and
in health ; taking care of your sick,
your children and your old people ;
providing for you preachers and pla
oes of worship, and doing for vou a
thousand things which you were una
ble to do for yourselves. What have
the people at the North done for you ?
They have counselled you to a vast
amount of evil, that cannot be of the
least benefit to you or your posterity,
but which may operate to your lasting
injury. What does the white man at
the South council you to do ? He says
Stay at home, mind your own busi
ness, and make money for yourselves
and your families; drink no liquor of
any kind ; be industrious and frugal;
join no political cliques; be neither
radical, republican or conservative
they all only want you to use you for
their own purposes. At times of elec
tions seek out the most honest, upright
and best man, and vote for him, with
out inquiring whether he calls himself
by this, that -or any other political
name. Or, if you do not know enough
of any of the candidates before yon,
do not vote for any.of them, but stay
at homo. Above all, pay no attention
to Yankee speech makers, who come
South to use you for their own purpo
ses. They arc not tho men to come a
thousand miles to address you for youi
good; it is intended altogether for
their own. Your whole interest lies
with the white people of the South.
There is an old colored Baptist Preach
cr living in Columbus, by the name of
Aaron Hurt; he is an honest carpen
ter, and works hard at his trade on
week days and preaches on Sundays,
lie has lately given his opinion to the
colored people, and writes as follows :
We of the South have to bo one,
what is the white man’s interest must
and will bo the colored man’s. All
have been born on the Southern soil
some masters and some slaves 1 was
born a slave ; this was not mv n-a-te.’-
lault. That some (white and c--l r- d\
are trying to make the former sues
hate their former master is plain. Th s
I will not do. I know those amongst
whom l was raised; Ido not know
those who come to me and take me by
the hand at night, end give me advice
in the dark, and when it is light do
not notice me on the street, i notice
another thing; those white men who
tell us wo must vote tho Radical
ticket and we shall have a farm, do
not have enough of their own to build
a chicken coop. [ think they want
the negroes to do the voting, but they
want tho farms. 1 am a minister of
the Gospel—belong to tho Baptist
Church—and think 1 have studied -he
interest of' my race since we hav.c been
set free, and givo it as my opinion it
is but Tor the colored people to make
friends at homo. As to polities, Ido
not know much ; but from what little
1 do know, I am a Conservative. 'They

talk out. This I liko >’ Thus iar

Tennessee—Tho Triumph of the
Negro.
The triumph of radicalism in the
“Volunteer State,” is complete—tho
n ajorily being anywhere between
twenty-five and fifty thousand. It
seems the negroes voted square and
solid with tho radio.ils. We presume
they will do so wherever tho issue is
made. Tennessee was the first Stato
to get back into the Union—and it is
to day in a worse condition—iufinitoly
worse— than either of tho ten cm
braced in the five military districts—a
fact which parties now engaged in di<
viding and distracting the people of
Georgia, would do well to inako a note
of. Tho article below from the Me t
phis Bulletin, is illustrutivo of the
faroo :
We looked in upon them at their
polling places, at about twelvo o’clock.
Not being a voter ourselves, on ac
count of a supposed defeat of patriot
ism, our visit was, of course, one of
mere curiosity. To our eyes, the
long procession of dusky figures ma
king their way to the judge’s stand,
bore the somblance of a iuneial pro
cession. Liberty was dead, we thought,
and these were pall beareis. The
white people, those unfortunate indi
viduals who had been tabooed ou ae.
count of their color, were looking on
curiously, from a distance, prety mueh
as they would look upon the reolnatiou
ofsoiuo Eastern tale in the Arabian
Nights. We scauncd tho countenan
ces of tho dusky voters. Childish cu
riosity and simplicity, stolid indife
raoce, black ignorance, wretchedness
and crime were the main characteris
tics. Aud these were the voters ol
America, the men who are to be the
tuturc guard,ans of tho constitutional
liberties of these States,"tl e lawgivers,
and judges of a land of white tnen. —
Wo turned away sick a! heart
As we passed by Court Square, we
found a regiment of troops encamped,
with a sentinel at each gate, with a
bristling bayonet, apd rows of stacked
arms belonging to the men who were
lying about among tho shade trees. —
Tho statue of Andrew Jackson looked
down upon these men. How- the old
hero, the old constitution defender,
would h3ve been astonished, if be
eould have arisen from this grave and
looked upen all these things being en
acted in the State of Tennessee, in
the yeat of grace 1867 ? Sic transit.
The play b over, the actors dispersed,
and our readers will find in oar local
columns, that the Caueassian, in the
State of Tennessee, has passed under
the rule of the African. The Yankee
is avenged; has thrown down the
Southern maiVaml raised op the negro
in his stead. Thank fiodl we have
resisted the desecration of our altais,
and the degradation of our race, all we
know how.— Atlanta lntelligencert
Rotative Strength of France and
Prussia.
In view of the reports about a rup
turc between France and Frifssia, the
following glance at the relative
strength of tho -two powers is of con
siderable interest:
It cannot be denied that the present
condition of the armies of Germany, x
united by federation or by treaty to
the Crown of Prussia, renders thorn
more f( rruidable antagonists than they
have ever been before In point of
numbers, the united population of
Germany, including the States south
of the Main, is superior to the popula
tion of France; it increases more rap
idly; and the uniform obligation of
military service during a term of nine
teen years, enables the German rulers
to throw a larger proportion of their
subjects into tho ranks of the army.—
In point of physical size and strength
the advantage is on the side of the big
Teutonio race, over the Celt, the Latin,
and the Gaul. In point of field arma
ment, the Prussians have forestalled
the other armies of Europe in the ini
troduotion and use of a breechloadiug
rifle, and, although this cause of ine
quality will speedily disappear, it ex
ists at the present moment. In hor
ses, the resources of Germany are in.
exhaustible; and to this element of
strength must now be added a very
complete system of rai'roads and tele
graphs. Tho tactics of the French
infantry of the line arc, as we have
seen, complicated and old-fashioned;
those of the Prussian army have been
the subject of inoreased study and im
provement from the -battle of Jena,
wheq their old system utterly broke
down, to the baltlo of Sadowa, when
their new system culminated in vic
tory. The German armies are in the
highest state of efficiency which can
be reached, by scientific preparation
for war, by concentration, by compact
discipline, and bf forethought.
The Coming Elections.—The
next election outside the unreconstruc

Lieut. Bkaine.— We republish
from a Memphis papor a letter written
by Lieut. John C. Braine, of the lato
rebel navy. It seems this officer is
now in prison in the Kings County
Penitentiary, where he is kept by the
United States government without
trial for alleged acts of piracy which
occurred on the high seas while the
war was in progress. His case seems
to be a hard one. Semiues, to whom
he writes the letter, is at l;v«-ge upon
parole, while ho tor acls which, though
irregular, were adowublo by the usa
ges of .war, is in prison without friends
to plead his cause, or money to pro
cure him legal advice. Ills capturo ol
tho Chesapeake du r ing tho war show
cd skill and during, an-1 his other ex
ploits, if done on behalf of our own
government, would have gained him
promotion and liberal applause. Sure
ly wo cun uow afford to bo generous
to this officer.— New York Worhl.
The Oil Princos.
During the year 1803 “the produc
tion of petroleum in this country was
nearly 4,000,000 barrels, equal to
2,500 000 barrels of refined oil; of this
amount over 1,000,000 barrels were
exported.” But the wealth accumula
ted by individuals in tho first sudden
i excitement ol tbis trade has not gene
rally profited them. “ From one cause
and auotber,’’ says a journal in tho oil
regious, “ by speculation, or drink, or
gambling, or broken banks the greater
part are about where they began;
many, indeed, far worse. Suits almost
without number have been brought
for the recovery of moneys fraudulent
ly obtained, and the only thing that
prevents the commencement of others
is the disagreeable oertainty that the
plaintiff could not pay the costs
Many companies have allowed their
lands to be sold for taxes, seemingly
resolved to spend no more ife this
country.”
Tho productive localities are con
tinually changing, and a farm that is
sold for a song to-day may prove tbe
centre of anew despot to-morrow
There is a deeided increase already in
the amount of pctrolcm exported this
year, as compared with that of 1865-6, I
the quantity so far exported bavin-*
reached 32,286,385 gallons, against
29,159,711 gallons duriug tho Bame
time last year. This shows an in.
crease during this year of 3,126,674
gallons, or 78,161 barrels.
Kentucky —Tha Louisville Jour
nal says ; ‘ The vote of Kentucky ou
Monday was not a full one, and tho
Radicals may try to draw consolation
from that fact, but it will yield them
none. Those,who voted were the ex
ponents of the will ol' the State, If
the whole people bad voted, the Dem
ocrats majority would have been pro-'
portionately as large as it is. Thuff
the vote given may be accepted as the
vote of Kentucky.
And nothing like it was ever knowr#
in our Stale before. The voice of her
people has been uttered like the voice
of the old Allam'ie in a storm. It w.]/
resound overall the lend and through
many years. It is tiro tempest-tone-'
ol a people protesting against and re
buking the wildest aod most destruc
tive spirit of evil that e*er raged ii a
wronged arid deeply afflicted country.
The'Democracy of the North will hear'
it and rejoice. The Derooefhcy of
the- wronged'and bleeding South will
catch the sound and take courage.”
Ko-action at th.e North,
Leo, the fntel'Kgefft Northern cor
respondent ol Ihe Charleston Courier,
says: »
Quite a change of policy has taker*
place in the North opoo the subject of
jhe Congress policy of forcing univer
sal negro suffrage upon the South.—
The matter was really little though#
of by the public heretofore. It waff
generally taken for granted that negro
suffrage would be but nominal, and
would be soon' left to the' several
States for such modifications as might
be necessary. Now they find that ne
gro governments are really to be set
up and supported by the military arm
and that these people, just emer-rin—
from abject slavery, with all its attend
dant degradation, are put over the
heads of the white populat-on. This
idea of power by Congress wdl hardly
be tolerated by the people of the North
The passions and prejudices created
by tho civil war, have subsided and
men are becoming moia disposed ta
have reason and do justice.
The Northern States, which havo
heretofore upheld unqualified suffrage
from the negroes, are not the moae in.
c'ined to grant it, after seeing tho
mischief that it will produce in tho
South. Republican citizens of Com
ncticut, who havo lately beqn hero
state confidently, that tho popular
feeling in that State against the ex
tension oi suffrage to negroes, has bten
much increased of late by the prospect
of negro ascendancy in tiro South.
\\ hat to Take.—A young lady of
our acquaintance called on one of
our physioians tho other day to pre

“I have been dootoring myself said

“My heavens ! madam,” interrupted
the astonished doctor, “all those do
your complaint no good!’’
“No ! Then what shall I take V
pettishly inquired tho patient.
“Take,’’ exclaimed tho doctor,
eying her from head to foot—“ take!’’
exclaimed he, after a moment’s reflec

she is still suffering fiom the Uiser-so
