“I bold that this Government was made on
the white basis, by white men, for the bene
fit of white men, and none others. Ido not
believe that the Almighty made the negro
capable of B«lfgo*e:.ment ” —Stephen A.
Douglas.

Ele(-ilon Keitlrn*.
By reference to another column the
complexion of the Senate and House of
Representatives may be 6ecn. We will
have a majority in both houses if the
members have been properly classed. -
The Radicals, however, claim the same
thing.
We will not get the official vote for
Governor until next week. It is yet in
doubt as to which is elected, but tbe
prevailing opiuion is that Bullock suc
ceeds by a small majority. We will
give the full vote next week.
Wo have elected tbreo out of the
seven Congressmen.
Removal.
Judge John T. Clark, of tbe l’ataula
Circuit, has been removed, by order of
Gen. Meade. He is one ot the ablest
Judicial officers of the State, and no
one, black or white can object to his ad
ministration. But then he is a Demo
crat, that is his sin, and for that only
could he have been removed.
Impeachment.
It is thought that by the 15th or 20th
of this month the great impeach
ment trial will have ended. As to the
r<suit there is much speculation. The
groat speech of Mr. Everts has had a
powerful influence upon the Radicals
favorable to tbe defence. At list ac
counts impeachment stock was rapidly
depreciating.
Application of the Test Oatli.
In another place we publish an official
letter from It. C. Drum, Adjutant Gen
eral of the Commtnder of tbo Third
Military District, says the Savannah
jVetM »£• Herald, l *y which it appears
that the decision has been made at
Lcadquarters that, under the reconstruc
tion laws, the members of the Legisla
ture and all other State officers elected
at tbe election just closed will be re
quired to take tbe teat oath before they
can be qualified. The ground taken
by the military authorities is that until
that the Constitution is ratified by the
people and approved by Congress, and
the legislature has adopted the amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States known as “Articl<k-14,” any gov
ernment existing in Georgia is only to be
regarded as provisional, and that all offi
cers of snch government are subject to
the test oath.
Such a construction of the law ren
der ineligible nineteen twentieths of the
white men of the State. With such a
wholesale disfranchisement, any elec
tion for State officers would be a mock
cry. We cannot believe that such a
construction of the law was ever con
templated by the Radical Congress it
self. Certainly if such were its inten
tion, it should have bceD made known
to the people when they were invited to
go into an election for the purpose of
organizing a Constitutional State gov
ernment under the Reconstruction taws
There cannot exist two State Govern
ments at the same time. The present
military government is a provisional
government wbich will cease to exist
when the constitutional government is
perfected in accordance with the terms
of the law. Until then the latter is
neither a Constitutional government nor
a provisional government—cannot be
so regarded, nor can its members be
subjected to the test oath which applies
to officers appointed or elected under
the provisional government.
The views thus officially announced
by the Adjutant General are utterly in
consistent with Gen. Meade’s decision
in favor of the eligibility of Gen. Gor
don, and bis pledge that there should
be a ‘fair election,' and wo will not
without further evidence of the fact, do
the Military Commander of the Dis
trict the injustice to suppose that while
holding such opinions, be, for partizan
nurposes, practiced the deceit of with
holding them till after the election was
over. Such a wonton outrage upon a
distressed and helpless people would be
beneath the dignity of an officer and a
gentleman.
If such a dishonerable trick has been
jesolved upon for the purpose of throw
ing the State Government into the hand
of the Radicals, it has been concocted
in Washington by the infamous and un
scrupulous cabal of whom General
Meade is the servant, and is to be re
stored to as the last desperato means
fir the accomplishment of their malig
nant purpose —the plunder, humiliation
and degradation of our people.
Failures ami l»aiijccr*.
1. The Radical party, in recon-
s 1 rueting the Union, pacifying the
States or people, and in restoring
trade or confidence.
2. Congress in its capacity to wisely
manage the pub’io finances, debt, and
tbe taxes ot the people
3. The Supreme Court, in postpon
ing action up>on a subject touching its
rights an I duties, because of a law
passed by Congress, to forestall the
opinions and decisions of tbe Judges.
4. Free and equal States. Ten of
ours to-day are under Military Gov
ernment, and Freedmen’s Bureaus,
and in command of Major Generals,
who suspend the payment of debts,
make anti unmake Governors, May
ors, Aldermen, and oven the local po
lico.
Thu future dangers are in brief: —
First, the apathy ot the people when
their own safety aud liberties are in
peril. Men fold their arms when a
President is impeached, when the Su
preme Court is threatened and when
I the civil power is placed under the con
trol ot the military.
2nd. Taxation which reaches mate
rial property and sets fra* money and
banded property, leading to repudia
tion. 1 here are in the West already
men who call themselves Plovgh-hold
en in opposition to bondholder *. Tax
ation must at be equal to be ac
ceptable. Income taxes are not equal
and not in proportion to the enumera
ted people, aud are not, therefore, con
stitutional.
3d Demoralization, official and un
official, beginning in frauds in con
tracts, in public works, in the adminis
tration of public trusts, and extending
to private transactions. In all our his
tory no observing citizen has ever seen
so much of piivate and public crime as
at present.
Other nations have failed through
the vices of the State, and human na
ture in the United States is not differ
ent from human nature in Rome,
Greece, Egypt, or elsewheie. The
worst sign of the times is that our peo
pie are becoming apathetic and indif
ferent to their own political welfare.

Atlanta, Ga , April 28th, 1868.
We have today waited upon the Ma
jor General comm an ting the 3d Milita
ry District, for the jiurpose of present
ing the complaints, accompanied by affi
davits, from several counties of frauds
in the recent election. We are gratifi
ed to be able to state that Major Gener
al Meade will investigate any charges
made of frauds, and especially of viola
tion of Lis orders governing the elec
tions.
We have petitioned that the elections
be set aside in certain counties, and new
elections ordered, on the grounds cl
frauds and violations of orders, and for
these coun'ies a military commission
has been appointed L>r investigation :
Ist. Di! the managers of the elec
tion allow our challengers at tbe polls ?
2d. Did they nutnl er the tickets aud
compare wi h registration lists ?
3d Did they admit illegal votes ?
4th. Was intimidation used to change
the votes of freedmen ?
sth. Did Managers attempt to induce
voters to change their votes?
Bend your reports to the undersigned
who will submit them without delay to

Tux Ttue System or Advertising.
—One of our exchanges discusses a !
question of interest to business men,
ns to the method of advertising:
The merits of circulars, bills, &c,
are conceded, but it is held that the j
“handbill/’ to be conveyed about by 1
men, 01 be sent into the country, is not
the best vehicle for advertising for
merchants Let them use the news
papers.
The newspaper is circulated without
any expense to the advertiser, which
is by no means an unimportant item,
as any one will testify who has any
experience in distributing advettise- |
merits.
Not only is the advertisement circu
lated by the newspaper free of all ex
pense. but it is done more speedily and
thoroughly than it can be done by the
advertiser
The newspaper is already an estab
lished system ; a thousand doors are
open to welcome it; a thousand mes
sengers are daily and weekly seeking
the post office to receive it; a thou
sand tamilies look for its coining, and
a thousand read it when it does come.
Again, those who read the newspa
pers are the very persons the advertis
er wishes to reach ; they are the intel
ligent and well to do, therefore the
most likely to buy what is worth buy
ing-
Tiie Election. —Returns from 91
counties, and the Constitution and Gov
ernor, gives the following result: For
the Convention 89,700; against the
Constitution 83,300. —Gordon 70, 030 ;
bullock 74, 764
For Representatives to the Legisla
ture, returns from the same counties
give the Democrats 66 ; white radicals
27—negro radicals 20.
All the Senatorial Districts heard
from but three—result—Democrats 22 ;
white radicals 16, negro radical 3.
Should the three remaining districts
elect radical there will be a tie in the

Unrinv Attempt to Destroy
Tlioinaoviilo t>y Fire.
On Thursday night last, near mid
night the alarm of lire aroused our citi
zens, who rushed forth to find the old
stable building near the residence of
Mr. T. J Mcß.iu, at the cast end of
Broad street, completely enveloped in
flames. Nepture Fire Company soon
arrive! upon the spot and with the val
uable aid of other ciiizeQS succeeded in
confining tbe flames to tha old stable,
which was entirely consumed. Scarce
ly had they saved the dwelling bouse of
Mr. Mcßuin, when uuotber alarm was
given up Uwn, ami immediately the
flames burst through the roof of a barn
connected with tho livery stables kept
by Maj Wm, Stegall, consuming the
barn with a large quantity of corn, but
again prevented from spreading by the
vigilance and activity of tbe Fire Com
pany, ably sccondcu by soldiers and cit
izens. An alarm was uow Bounded to
ward tbe centre of (he chief business
block on Broad stroet aud fire was dis
covered in the rear of the old wood ware
house of Messrs, E Remington & Son,
but as this fire had ouly commenced to
burn it was extinguished without dam
age. Stiff another alarm was given
about daylight aud the fire found to be
an ut'empt to burn a stable on the prem
ises of Mr. J. S Morrell, north-west
from the l’resbyterian Cburch. This
was likewise extinguished before any
damage resulted.
During the excitement of the fires
mentioned, strenuous efforts were being
made by the Mayor, Marshall, Police
and military under Lieut. JohosoD com
manding Post, to overtake and arrest
the incendiaries, and one was fired at
by a soldier in making bis escape from
the scene of the burning of Mr. Ste
g ill’s baro. Two others were hotly
pursued from a stable in the rear of
Messrs. Scbiffifc Bro’s store, which they
were preparing to fire, and bold attempts
to fire other portions of tbe town were
prevented by the timely arrival of po
lice forces, rapidly distributed by Lieut.
Johnson.
None of the perpetrators, however,
were arrested during the night ; but a
numerous body of colored men estima
ted at from one to three hundred per
sons, and very much excited, had as
sembled at the place of residence of Ja
cob VV ude, a colored preacher, one of
the managers of the election which had
just closed, and who held tbe charge of
the ballot box each night during the
election. This assembly was in the
immediate vicinity of the first fire near
the residence of Mr. Meßain, and
though called upon by members cf tbe
the Fire Company, in passing, they pos-1
itivcly refused to aid in extinguishing
the fl imes.
L'cut. Johnson promp’ly dispersed i
them with the soldiers under his com
mand, and transferred the ballot box,
which they declared they assembled to
defend against the Ku-Klux-Klan, to
safer hands. White men were amoDg
them at different times, and who arc
suppsoed to have consuled them in the
course they persued. The object of this
assembly we are informed, was to repel
a contemplated raid on Wade’s premi
ses by “Sixty of tho Ku-Klux-Klan
mounted on white horses,” with the
view of capturing that eminent Dtviue
and carrying off in triumph the precious
four day’s deposit of “free (suffrages,”
which that individual shielded under
the strong arm of colored patriotism.

ries of Abyssinia."
Abyssinian Slave (tealilies.
On my return to camp, I visited the
es’ablishments of the various slave mer
chants. These were arranged under
large tents formed of matting, and con
tained many young girls of extreme
beauty, ranging from nine to seventeen
years of age. These lovely captives, of
a rich brown tint, with delicately formed
features and eyes like those of the ga
zelle, were natives of the Galla, on the
borders of Abyssinia, from which coun
try they were brought by the Abyssi
nian traders, to be sold for the Turkish
harems. Although beautiful, these
gir’s are useless for hard labor; they
quickly fade away and die unless kindly
treated. They are the Venuses of that
country, and not only are their faces
and figures perfection, but they become
extremely attached to those who show
them kindness, aud they make good and
faithful wives.
There is something peculiaily capti
vating in the natural grace and softness
of these young beauties, whose hearts
quickly respond to those warmer feel
ings of love that are seldom known
among the sterner and coarser tribes,—
Their forms are peculiarly elegant and
graccfu’, the hands and feet are exquis
itely delicate, the nose is generally
slightly aquiline, the nostrils largely
aud finely shaped ; the hair is black and
glossy, reaching to about the middle of
the back, but rather coarse in texture.
These girls, although natives of Galla,
invariably call themselves Abys-duians,
and arc generally known under that de
nomination. They are remarkably quick
at learning. At Keartoum, several of
the Europeans of high standing have
married these charming ladies, who
have invariably rewarded their hus
bauds by great affection and devotion
Tbe price of one of these great*beau
ties of nature at Gallabat was from
twenty to forty dollars.
Irish Emigration —Correspondents
io Ireland write that the exodu; from
that country to the UniledStates has
again begun, and that all the steamers
comiDg to America, and also numerous
sailing vessels, are tided with emi
grants. r l he various ports of Ireland
are also filled with emigrants awaiting
passage, and the majority are said to
be from sixteen to twenty five years of
age.

A Wretched Slander Refuted.
The New Otleans Dee publishes the
following manly aud intcrcs.ing letter
from Gin. Beauregard;
New Orleans, April 22, 1868
To the Edi ors New Orleans “Bee
Gents: Allow me to (bank you for
having refuted, in your paper of yestcr
day, the following slander contained in
the “Washington correspondence of the
Boston Commonwealth,” to-wit:
Beauregard at Arlington Speak
ing of the cenotaph erected to the mem
ory of the unknown braves, we are re
minded that the children of Geo. Lee,
as well as life notorious Gen. Beaure
gard, recently visited Arlington. Tbe
former declined, but the latter boldly
accepted the invitation to record his
name iu the book of visitors kept io the
mausioD. A wounded soldier acts as
janitor of the place. He accompanied
Beauregard to the meimrial vault, and
pointed to him the touching words in
scribed thereon. Beauregard read them,
and burst into a loud laugh, scoffing at
the woe aod suffering he had in part
cau°ed. Senator Wade soon after visi -
ted the grounds The old servitor told
him the story with well expietsed in
dignation. “Brave fellow 1” exclaimed
old Ben, “crippled as you are, why did
you not strike him to the earth with
your cane, as he thus jeered at the suf
ferings of our people?” The old sol
dier, as we listened to him, looked as
though he would like to have the valiant
General come again; aod, with such
high authority behind him, we have no
doubt he would put into execution at
once the bluff Senator’s suggestion.”
This attack is only on a par with
those, from similar sources, which have
already been made upon me and other
(X Confederate Generals. I trust my
friends will pardon me for BotioiDg this
rew aspersion ; my remarks are intend
ed only for that numerous class of my
fellow citizens who arc unacquainted
with me.
When in Washington last October, I
was invited by some friends to visit
“Arlington House,” which I had never
seen, except at a distance. I accepted
the invitation, aud while there, was con
ducted by one of the guardians of the
place to see the Cemetery. We entered
it with that silent reserve wbich is due
to tho abode of tbe dead, and I left it
shortly afterwards with a saddened
heart, at the thought that the graves of
so many of our brave Confederates
should be still uncared for by friends or
foes. A true hearted soldier feels the
same respect for the grave of a gallant
enemy as lor that of a brotber-in-arm? —
and I am yet to learn that a single Fed
eral grave has ever been desecrated by a
true Confederate soldier
On returning to the Mansion, our
conductor disappeared for an instant,
and presently returned with a handsome
boquet of flowers gathered from tbe
garden of Mrs. Lee ; he asked me to
accept it as a memento of my visit, and
in return to enter oiy name io the visi
tors' registry book. .We then shook
hatids and parted, probably never to
meet again. If he be “a brave crippled
soldier,” be is incapable of having been
guilty of the vile slander invented to
injure a defeated and pro6oribed fellow
soldier.
1 remain yours, very sincerely,
