probable course of the Southern dele j
gujPfo'n in the Democrats National Con i
vemion, that it is extreme’y imp roba- |
blo'tfat the vo'e of a single Southern
{State can be cast for the Democratic
canlfl'dates—and therefore the South
ern Democracy have no right to ad
visSj*mucii less insist, upon the adop-.
tiofi of any special nominee by their,
Nortbernnllics The duty of the South
is this: Accepting its silua'ion it will
do us u'most to sustain whatever can

most likely to secure success* in

nomination of Salmon F. Chase, upon
any other par form than absolute negro

Tub Rains. —The rains of Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, says the Col
umbus Bun of Wednesday last, eeem
to have been general all over the State.
A gentlehian who left Rome at 111
o’clock on Friday night, says it fell
heavily all the way to Atlanta From
that city to Macon an abundance has
fallen. Our accounts from all parts of
Middle Georgia represent the rain to
have been glorious everywhere. It
cajne io time to save the com crop, to
give cotton a Dew lease upon and a
aew start in life. It was worth mil-
JiofS .to Georgia, and all hearts are re
joicing. The ravage* of four weeks of
hot, parchiog suu have been repaired
by being bathed from the clouds, and
the whole earth looks as if it had come
frote tbc regenerating hand of lue Cre
ator. Rain is greatly wanted yet in
tfc.s locality.

The Augusta Chronicle \fc Seuhncf
Bays: "What would the iGlltb—what
would the country gain by a change of
'administration made upon issues which
I both parties accept as the fixed policy
!of the Government ? As far as the
South is concerned, we believe that the
' white people would be perfectly Indif
ferent in such a contost, while the nc
-1 groes and scalawags would ecrtainly ad
-1 here to their side of the controversy.—
' question which can arouse the people
sad excite them to rigorous exerfloDs
l in the coming ennvass is that cf open,
'decided, determined an! unyielding op
position to the unconstitutional lcgisla
tion of Congress in relation to the South
ern States. The open nod Bngract vi- ■
olatioDS of the Constitution, in destroy
<ng the civil governments in ten States ,
of the Union, and the orection upo*i |
their ruin of cruel despotic acd tyrau- j
teal military dynasties, htv. awakened
the fears of the true men of the North
j n °d Opened incir eyes to the dangers
i wb'.o'a threaten themselves and the
whole country in the consuuiaiion of
such despotic and revolutionary legisla
tioD. Upon this question the people of j
the North ate preparrd to make the
fight, and any action ri the Press or
leaders of the Democratic party which
would weaken their confidence or Ice- |
sen their zeal in '.be cause, by any sur
render of principle or adroit avoidance j
of living and vital issues would insure
their complete overthrow and defeat.
We warn the week-kneed, luke warm
negro suffragc-sticken conductors of the
Northern Democratic Press that they
cannot succeed in the tpj reaching can
vass by any shuffling, namby-pamby, I
double-faced expediency policy pro
gramme. Toe people are tired of plat
forms which have two face/—one lot k
ing Sooth and tho other North—they
are very tired of the uncertainty, anxie !
ty, discontent and universal stagnation
of business growing out of the present 1
state of affairs, and demand a bold, i
manly, decided and unequivocal declar- |
ation of hostility to radical misrule in
all its ' bases aod bearing The great
heart of the Nation is still sound upon
these vital questions. Tne true men
of the North nod West want no com
promise of principle, and will accept !
none for the paltry purpose of securing
strength among those who have been
and are still, oppose! to them on the
vital issues of the eontest.
We do not presume to dictate to the
people of the North the line of policy
which they should adopt We do n>t
wi-h even to subject ourselves to the
charge of wishing to influence North
ern Demrcratic sentiment upon' this
point. All that wc wish to do on the
present occasioo, is to worn them against
the adoption of » policy which not only
surrenders an essential living aod vital
ly important principle, but which would
force the great body of their white
brothers of the South into a position of
cold neutrality, or at best of luke warm
: acquiescence.
The South, it is conceded, will he
tn«i H»-- n battle ground in the coming
canvass. nifpectivc pnrtics arc so
equally balanced in acf *
West as to throw the balancu power
into the hands of tho Southern Slates.
The Radicals have adopted a platform
which will insure tbe loss o( thrcc
fonrthsof the Southern electoral votes
unless the Democratic party in a fool
ish attempt to conciliate and win the ne
gro vote, shall yield tho high ground it
has heretofore occupied on this suffrage
question. If the Democratic leaders
desire to strengthen their party in the
South, they must not attenit to throw
cot baits for negro votes. The true
way to secure that vote is to adopt a
platform containing correct principles,
run a candidate who presents a consist
ent record iafavor of thoso principles,
and thereby arouse tho enthusiasm, ex
cite the activity, and strengthen the de
termination of the white people to win
the race at all hazards, even if in so do
ing it become necessary to use the ille -
gsl black voter in favor of law and or
der and the constitution of the ccuDtry.’
Congress not to Adjourn untii,
AFTER THE JULY CONVENTION. —The
Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, states that u great
change has come over the disposition
of Congress in regard to an early ad
journment. The formidable aspect of
the anti-Radical movements bus
brought the majority to a pause. The
most prominent Radical leaders de
clare that the proposed sdjournment
on the Ist of Ju'y will be practically
an abandonment of the Presidential
campaign They say that it w ill he
absolutely necessary for the safety of
the Radical party that Congress should
remain in session a month or two after
the Democratic nomination of a Presi

Gen. Meade.— Since our publication
yesterday, ol the statements of the cor

The campaign of IS6B will be fought
upon a single issue -civil authority
against miii ary despotism
The absuluto supremacy of tho, civil
power of the State will lo maintained
by the Democrats and Conservatives,
while tbc Radicals will affirm, uutLr
color of 'loyalty,' the right to subvert
civil government, and act np in its stead
a despotism supported by an armed
force.
This single question, and those that
logically belong to it, obscure, if they
do not extinguish, all other issnea that
under ordinary circumtafices would
mark the contest.
In 1861 the country was informed by
a resolution of Congress as to the ob
ject of the war. Ihe people aecpn'.ed
the proposition ic good faith ? ar.d sup
plied lac'goveinment 'with men and
money to put dow’u the rebellion and
restore the supremacy of the la\\’3.
Year»ttor year the contest continual
until at last the object for which Con
gr‘- ;SS and the President informcJ us the
war wa9 prosecuted became an accora -
plisbed fact by the surrender of the
Confederate anuy, with all it possessed,
on the simple condition that those who
had taken up arms should not be mo
lested so long-aR they obeyed the laws
of the United States.
This guaranty of Federal protection
was solemnly pledged by the present
candidate of the Tlidical party, then
aud new the Gereral in-Chief of the ar
my of the United States. Since then
three years have elapsed, during all of
which time there has been do war, in
surrection, or resistance to the laws.—
Throughout tbe leDgth and breadth of
the land there has been peace, and yet
what is now, after three years ts peace
the condition of that people, to whom
tbc Radical candidate for the Presiden
cy guaranteed safety and protection ?
They are denied the right ts suf
frage !
They are dcpiivi and ts tho writ of ha
beas corpus !
They are denied tbe right of trial by
jury I
Freedom of speech and of tbe press,
the hcreditaiy rights of freemen, arc
withheld, and the tide to life, properly
and reputation are at tbc disposal if a
subaltern of the army or an employee
of the Frcedtren’s Bureau.
To support this despotism, a largo
standing army has been organized in
time of peace, and millions of money
have been wrest-d from an over taxed
people to maintain it. Tax sand tax
gatherers, oppressive tariffs aud odions
stamp acts are multiplied, while cur
currency is depreciated and cur national
credit impaired.
The cnee productive fields and plan
tations of the South still pregnant will)
resources that would pay the national
debt, are to-day as the solitude of the
desert; ambits rivers which orcc carri
ed tbe inland commerce of the nation
are now a wa-ta of waters.
Phis is what Radicals call reconstruc
tion ! and with an effrontery only equal
ed by the atrocity of their principles,
they have placed in nominate n as their
candidate for the Presidency the embod
iment and incarnation of this iniquity.
Their candidate is not only the Gen
-6ral’.l''-GbieF of tho army, but military
dictator anda. „; nf > above aad lc y° nd
the law in all the several
in which, through bis satraps, ha al~
ministers Radical justice to a disfran
chised people.
Throughout his dominions the rights
of his subjects are a mockery ; to utter
a complaint is to merit the baslile ; free
speech is • crime, and to strike in self
defense ii to invite tho card of the
proveet marshal.
For trial by jury he tenders the
drumhead court martial. They petition
for habeas corpus, and he gives them a
halter.
He is tbe comrade of Stanton, rcek
iug with the pollution of the War Office
its old Capitol prisons, its false arrests,
its perjuries by hired spies, detectives,
and suborned witnesses, its murder of
citizens by court marshal—its wholesale
catalogue of crimes so black and infa
mous that the deeds of the ioqnUiticn
and the inhumanity of Puiitan torture
of defenseless women whiten into vir
tue.
It is the duty of the pleople who arc
opposed to this man and the faction
that supports him to hurl from its foun
dation this fabrie which tyranny has
rested, and reerect the temple of liber
ty and justice which our fathers had
Tasbioned and consecrated by their blood;
to vindicate tho American name, and to
show to the world that we deserve to be
free. To shiver to atoms, with the swift
vengeance of an outragod and bc'rayed
pcoblc, this hidious bastilo which the
foes of free governmeet have erected as
as the sepulchre of our libertits and
thcD, upon our altars, to rekindle the
fires which despotism had extinguished.
On this issue we go before the people
as the advocates of free government,
civil liberty, and equal rights—a bold
and defiant platform, which will chal -
leoge tho respect of honest men, aud
spread consternation in tbc ranks of the
enemy. —Marjfand Dcmocrc *.

tbe effect that the GitieraJ Assembly if

possible that even Oovornor bullock

it is true; that Guvcroor liillock, un

of Congress, has, at Washington, issued
suoh a proclamation, dating it at Augus

time wo write, has uot been published
in any paper iu Georgia. The "rumor,” |
then, to which we have rofeired, prov
ing to bo true, wo Lave no doubt that
the Other "lumor” connected with it is
also true, to-wit:—that tbe Radical
members elect to both branches of tbe
Uegislatans have, for some time past,
been advised of Governor Bullock’s in
tention, and are prepared to be hero on i
the 4th fre ximo, while the Democratic
members Lave received no notice of it
at all, and at many points cannot pos
sibly receive it in time to be present at \
the opening of tbe session, aud to par
ticipate in the orgai izatioo cf both
houses. More than this, tbe Gpnsti n
ternal amendment, so-called, is to be :
rushed through and two Radical Fena-1
tors to be elected forthwith.
The work is designed to be “sharp and
quick,” hot, as there is “many a slip be
tween tbe cup and the lip,” Gov. Bul
lock tad bis Radical lieutenants in
Georgia, for w hose benefit the General
Assembly is thus precipitated into ses
sion, may be disappointed. True, it ia
claimed that the Radicals have a major
ity in the Legislature, but we arc not
ready tc concede this, por will wc, till
the members Lave been sworn in and
each has demonstrated by bis vote on
which side he s'ands. We know sever
al ui mbcrs who have teen reported
Radicals that have denied, and do still
deny, being adherents of that party.—
Tbe test, however, will socn be upoß

be judged.
There is. one thing connected with
this nail h r the General Assembly to.

Has any proclamation of the result of
the election been made by any effieial,

A Southern Historian in Trou
ble.
MRS. B, A. I'OI.LARI) IN A BROOKLYN PO
I.ICB COURT.
Edward A. Pollard, the Weil known
Southern historian, has turned up un
der curious eTrcurWfunces Yesterday
his vvilo, Mrs. Madelnide E. A Pol
lard, appeared before Justice Corn
'.Veli, ut the Brooklyn City Hall, and
preferred a complaint against Mrs
Grotty nud Miss Grotty, her daughter,
residing at No. 81 ( ranberry street,
lor nssuidt and buttery While before
the magistrate, she stated that Mr.
Pollard left her about three weeks ago,
sinoe which time she bad been engag
ed in hunting him tip. That she went
to bis place of business in Ne? York
yesterday morning when he accompa
nied her to his present residence, SI
Cranberry street When reaching the
house tome demonstrations were mc.de
which resulted in ht‘r being summarily
ejected fiom the premises and usid,
as she stated in a most shameful man
ner.
Mr. Pollard accompanied her be
fore the justice, and sta'ed to the mag
istrate that she came to hrs place of
business m New York and threatened
to shoot him. 'J he justice then asked
her if she had a pistol, to which she
replied that she had not, and. throw
ing ber arms out, said, “You can
search me.” She stated further ihat
she had to pawn her diamonds and
other je velry to pay his hotel bills, to
which Mr. Pollard responded that she
was a maniac, and that bv reason of
ber jeslous disposi ion and adieus his
business had been much interfered
with. She also stated that she bad
been married to him three years ago,
but that about one year since she had
discovered that he bad been married
to another woman, when she left him.
Upon hearing that be had be n di
vorced from this other woman, she
was married to him again She stated
that rhe now resided in East Thir
teenth street, New York. Altogether,
the case appears to he surrounded by
curious circumstances, which will prob
ably be explained nsire fully this morn
ing, w hen tbe case will come up l»e
--foie Justice Cornwell for esamma
tion
Tbe New York Tribune, of Thurs
day, says:
* The case of Mrs. Madelaide E. A.
Pbllafd against Mrs Grotty, 'ho keep
er of a boarding house No. 81 Cran
berry street, und her daughter, Miss
Orotty, who are accused ul hav'iig
comm tted an assault aud butte y on

Juslice Porn weir yesterday morning
Mr. E A. Pollard, who was presenr,
t»Mik otcas-ion to deny the eoi reelffi ss
oi some of the assertions made by Mrs
Pollard i he day ] revious, and stiid thai
after their sepalatii r. he had made
amp’e provision tor tier support Mrs.
Pollard answered by emphatically du
nying her husband’s testimony The
defendants in tho case not being in
court, the examination was, on motion
of Mr B. F. Morehouse, thew counsel
postponed until thii morning at 11
o’clock. Subsi quent'y Mr Popard
was arrested by a New York officer
on a warrant sued tint by Mrs. Pol
lard some days ago for assau't and
battery. The alleged offence having
been committed in New York, the ex
amination will take place in that city.’
Mr. Pollard has published ic the
New YoiK papers a card denying the
alleged statement of Mrs Pol avd that
“she has been married to her husband
about three years, but soon after dis
covered that he had another wif -, upon
which she left him.’’
lie also says; “Tt is particularly
hard to be accused of ‘abandoning’ my

Universal Segro Suffrage.
The following from the New York
Commercial Advertiser (a Grant and
Colfax paper) of the 25:h ult , is a prot
tv hiavy indictment against radicalism :
The signs trom Mississippi itdicate
the possibility of an earlier retribution
for those who have cheapened and de
graded suffrage than was anticipated.—
That the negroes of the 800 h will fall
into the hands and bo controfed by the
whites, is ceitain. They may, while
there are bayonets there to constaain
them, vote the Radical ticket. This is, I
perhaps, rll that Burnncr, Butler and
Greeley expect, and possibly this is
more than they will reaiiz?.
Great wrongs provoke adequate pen- ;
allies. Slavery destroyed itself by an 1
attempt to destroy the government.— !
Republican institutions depend for their
stability up' n intelligent suffrage. The]
Radicals have bestowed suffrage upon ]
four millions of emancipated slaves,
"who aro ignorant of the means by
which suffrage is expressed.” They
have sent armies into ten States under
whose auspices Dcirro supremacy is to
be established. For tills great wrong
Radicalism is to bo hold reponsible.—
Genera 1 Grant may, if they dc not over
load him, carry him through one elec
tion, after which the crash will come.
Accident to Mu Jefferson Da- 1
Vis. —The telegraph last night brought 1
the paioful news that Mr. Jeffersjn ;
Davis had, while coming down the Liv
crpool House in Montreal, with bis
child in his arms, fell and was so much
injured that he could not walk. From
tho telegraphic account which is very
meagre, we infer that tho injury su tam
ed is not very serious. From thou
sands of hearts in tho South, and in
other lands, will ascend prayers for bis
speedy recovery.— Sav. -Yrff if- //:r.
Deoradation of the Army. —Tbe
New York World is showing Low
Radicalism, having got hold of West
Point, is using it to dogrudo the mili
tary profession. The moral standard
of that ooeo honored institution, the
editor tells us, is lowered, when cadets
see daily among their classmates, Ver
monters and Oregonians who are false
ly entered ujion the books of ‘he Acad
emy as cadets ii\«m Texas and Louis
iana. Again J
Disguise it as we may, it is a fact
that Radicalism has degraded the ar
my to tiie dirty work of tho Radical
party. Tho officers who are stationed
in the Satrapies of the South are not
so much officers of tho army us they
are policemen ir. Hue clothes to pre
vent white citizens fn ni voting and to
marshal blacks to the ballot boxts.—
Such statements are dtsagrceublo but
they are not the less true An army
marching under gallant leaders to re
deem a Republic like Texas from the
grasp of Mexico, is a very different
spectacle from an army stationed in
the Slate of Texas for the express pur
pose of securing tho return of carpet
bag Congressmen in the Radical in
terest. And so with the remaining
Southern States now ruled by military
power—in every one of them the army
is used and devoted to elect Radical
adventurers and imposters to office by
means of bayonet controlled ballots.—
Such service necessarily degrades the
army; the officers of the army are
lowered when thov become special po
licemen for a party; tho traditional
theory that an officer is necessarily a
gentleman suffers a shock when the
General of the Army stands charged
