Adjournment of Congress.
The Journal of Commerce is culling
on tbe Rump Congress to adjourn. In
no other way, it thinks, can it serve a
badly bored country. The editor
adds:
‘•W hy should there be delay ? The
Radicals have a majority in both

the country does not want to hear any

mutable foe of all the Radical schemes,

Wo copy an article from the New

careful consideration of our people.—
Evidence, there is in abundance that
the present quiet, patient and hopeful
frame of mind of the whito people of
the South is most annoying to ihe Rad
icals. They would delight, moro than
anything else, if our people smarting
under a sense of injustice and wrong
should reeoi'v to an y nct cf violence or
resistenee to the rule u P on
them. This would give thorn a u»! v
theme by which to inflame the North
ern mind and excite the now subsiding
local prejudices and animosities of that
section. The Radical cause demands
some siimulous of tris kind—without
it, tbe party drifts helplessly to its fate
in November. This consideration
should be ever present with onr people
in all tbeir trials and afflictions. A
short time more of palient endurance
and fortitude will surely bring them
deliverence. Let them demonstrate by
their conduct that there is no excuse
for the rigors and indighities to which
they are subjected, and the people of
the country will surely relieve them,
and by relieving them res ore the Un

Poor Grant.
Just before the clone of the Impeaoh
meet trial, Forney it his “two papers
both daily,” Bate the following predie
lion :
“Should tho Senate of »bo United
States fail to convict Andrew Johnson
on the accusation of the Rouse, net au
electoral vote, with the exception of the
vote of West Virginia, Missouri and Ten
nessen, will be given to General Graut
in the Southwestern Slates next No
vember.”
Well, the Impeaebment failed—the
“Senate failed to convict,” and if For
uey is to be believed, not a single elec
toral vote will bo given to General
Grant Id the Southwestern States next
November, except West Virginia, Mis
souri and Tennessee. Having been de
prived by the action of the Neuate from
receiving the votes of tbo Southwestern
States, let us see what bis chaoses arc
further North.
Tbad. Stevens, the ablest and boldest
lender of the Radical party, cnnounced
to his parly peeding tho impeachment
fiasco , that “if the Preridont was not
convicted the Radical party would car
ry but two Northern States—Vermont
aDd Massachusetts.
According to this estimate of bis own
friends, Grant will receive only the
votes of Vcrmon', Massachusetts, Mis
souri, West Virginia and Tennessee—
casting in the Electoral College only
forty-three votes. This, then, is bis!
slreDgtb in the loyal Sntcs. If he 1
should receive the vote of all tho unre
constructed States (of wlich there is;
not the slightest chance,) ho would 1
fall short of an eleotion by 47 votes.—

Revenue Officers Gone Up.
Richmond, June 15—The case of
Jno. H. Anderson, Collector of the
Fourth District, and others charged
with conspiring to defruud iho Govern
ment, was concluded before Judge
Chase to-day. After the argument,
Judge Chase delivered a lengthy
charge, and said that the parties are
set forth as engaging together for the
purpose of arranging a plan by which
dealers shall be permitted to ship
whisky without paying the tax. It i«
a mutter of tho smallest importance
what were the rates of payment for
th.B so-called privilege of defrauding
the Government. That was in the
first instance, five hundred dollars
amounts making six thousand dollars,
the year afterwards raised to twenty
thousand to the Collector, and subse
quently to thirty thousnnd. The amount
thus received was not to be considered
by the Jury. It was important that
the revenues ol the Government shell
be faitnfully collected, and no less im
portant that no citizen accused of mis
demeanor or shall be convicted except
upon sufficient evidence. 'I he case was
then submitted to the Jury_ w ho found
a verdict of guilty against John 11.
Anderson, Col'ec'.or, Robt. W. Olsom,
Inspector; and J. H. Patterson, First
Inspector. The Judge then pronounc
ed sentence as follows “Anderson’s

In remarkable comrast to this con

Macon, Ga., June 4, 1808.—Fellow-
Citizens The Oenlrzi Executive Com
mittee, appointed by order of the lute
Conset vativc Convention at Macon, was
empowered to call Conventions of the
Conservative party 0; Georgia, as often
ns the sarno may be nrccs-ary. By vir
tue of that authority, the committee
bnvecalhd a Convention of the Demo
crats and Conservatives of this State to
bo held in the city of Atlanta on tho
22d day of next July. The object of
the Convention will be merc-ly to ratify
the nominations of oaudida'es for Pies
ldent and Vice President of the United
States, which may be made by the Na
tional D-unccratio Convention at New
Yoik, and to nominate an Electoral
ticket for the State of Georgia. Such
being the object, the State Convention,
as a matter of course, must bo after,
and not before the nominations at New
York. There was no special reason or
necessity for oalliog a State Convention
to meot before those nominations are
made—and if it bad been done, a Con
vention after the Now York Domina
tions beiog a necessity, there would be
two Conventions in a short time cfeaoh
other, when one can be made to answer
the purpose of both.
The Convention, besides ratifying the
nominations which may be made at New
1 York, and scleclirg an Electoral ticket
for this State, will be expected to adopt
i such measures as may be necessary for
I the more perfect organ zation of tbo
Democratic and Conservative party.
The coming Presidential eleotion
■ promises to be more fiercely contested
! than any election of the kind which has
| occurred in this country The issue of
; the contest will be of immense consc
-1 qu#Dce to the Southern States Tho
question involved will be whether all
power shall be consolidated in Congress
without check 01 restraint, or whether
the limitations to power, prescribed by
tbo constitution, shall be preserved.--
The Radical party will set k to perpetu
ate the unlimited power which they now
wield—the Democrats and Conserva
tives to restrain the government whbin
the limits prescribed by the Constitu
tion.
Let us prepare Tor this contest—let
us meet in Convention in the city of At
lanto, on the 22d day of Dcxt July, and
cot suit together, ar.d by contributions
of material aid aud otherwise, devise
means to assist in saving the constitu
tional rights of the States from vortex
of consolidation, and ourselves from its
attendant despotism.

Generalship.
Grant is nominated us the Jacobin
candidate for tbe Presidency solely on
the ground of military achievements.—
He has no civil qnalifications for the
t ffice, whatever, and nobody pretends
that he has. What merit as a candi
date there is in an exclusively military
record, in the entire ab.-ence of any
thing else to recommend him, were his
exploits in the field ever so brilliant, we
are at a loss to conceive. But where he
has displayed distinguished generalship
has never yet appeared. All he ever
accomplished was by dint of overwhel
ming numbers and a reekless sacrifice
of men. It was so at Donnelson, so at
Vieksburg, so in Georgia, and enrnent
ly so in his cempaign against General
Lee in Virginia. Look at the, eompar
tive figures between him and Lee:
Grant on assuming command May 4.
1804, had of effective men besides the
reserve, when he crossed the Rapidan,
125,000.
Lee at the same date had an effective
force ot 52,000.
Gran;’* reinforcements up to the bat
tle of CJ d Hat u / ' r » June 3, were 97,-
000. ~
Lee’s reinforcements, Up to - ae arne
date, were 18,000 |
Grant’s total forco, including rein
forcements, was 222,000.
Lee’s total force, including reinforce
ments, was 70,000
Returns to tbeir respective Govern
ments showed that when both armies
had reached the James, June 10, the
number of Grant’s army that bad been
put hors du combat was 117,000.
Up to the same date, the number of
Lee’s men who had boen put hors du
combat wag 19,000.
The two armies then met in front of
Petersburg.
At the ou«et nearly two and a half
men to Lee’s one, and take tbe whole 1
oanipaign through, more than three to j
one. >
Grant lost more than six men to Lee’s
one.
This was io the brief campaign from
the Rapidan to the James, from May 4
to June 10, a little over a month.
Then Lee had fifty-one thousand
men, and Grant one hundred and five
thousand. Lee eould obtain, and re
ceived, no further leinfotecments, while
Grant was constantly reinforced fr»m
the North ; and yet it took Grant neat
ly a year after that to break Lee’s fee
ble lines, and in doing it, and before he
eould do it, bad to keep calling for more
men till he outnumbered him at least
five to one.
Is there anything to boss! of in this ?
If success UDder these circumstances
makes anything of Grant, wbat does
successful resistence, for so long a time
agaiust mob odds, and with so lew com
parative loses, make Lee '(
