GEORGIA THE WEEKLY OPINION. BY W. h. ICBUOOS AND J. B. DOUBLE. FIUDAY MORNING:::::::;;;SEPT. 30. DECLARATION or Tin UNION REPUBLICAN PARTY OF GEORGIA ADOPTED BY inn STATE COEVESTIOS, Atlanta, July 4th, 1807. • WuKKEis, Wo, humbly acknowledging our do. Ticndcncc upon an overruling Providence, who shapes the destinies o! men nnd nations, thank Al- <iie recent rebellion. And Where ah, The loyal men of Georgia desire the earliest practicable settlement or the disturbed condition of the country: and whereas, wo believe that the establishment of justice Is essei during peace, that patriotism should m tuo, and it is the duty of tho State to chcr- oarty of tho Union, nnd for the unconditional sup port or the Union of these States. Resolved, 9. That wo pledge our hearty support to the reconstruction measures of the Congress of tho United 8tates, Revolted. 3. That it is the duty of the ! educate all her children, and to that end, commend the establishment of a general system of free schools. Knotted. 4. That the Union Republican Party is identified in its history and by its essential prin ciples with the rights, the interests nnd the digni ty of labor, and is in sympathy with tba toiling -masses of .society, and that tho working men of Georgia will receive at its bands every encourage ment and assistance that may be necessary to pro tect their full rights; and, that in tho uininten- .inco of tho position token nnd the principles we have this day avowed, wo cordially invite the ■ co-operation or all citizens, without regard to their . political antecedents. Knotted, 5. That tho Union Republican Party in ull respects, with tho requirements of the Acts 01 • Congress, and who prefer the Government of the United States to any other that could be framed. Errors About the Amnesty Procla mation*.—Mr. .Johnson's late proclamation of Amnesty, whatever its merits may be, is having an injurious effect in this State. Its equivocal language has misled a large portion of our people and public journals. The latter are assuring the people that a arge majority of the disabled class will bo allowed to vote, and that the President will soon issue an order extending regis tration to those who have hitherto been disfranchised by the law of Congress. It is not strange that such a mistake should occur. The President's allusion to the wrong of disfranchisement in connec tion with the evils which he proposed to remove, is well calculated to create the impression that suffrage was among the benefits to he realized from the pardon. But we should not allow ourselves to bo thus deceived. Congress will exact irom us the full conditions prescribed in tho Re construction law before admitting us to our rights and privileges in the Union. We should therefore shape our course ac cordingly, regardless of the President’s proclamation. QT The Intelligencer of yesterday, has an editorial headed, 44 A Miserable Radical Trick.” Th»» circular of Colonel IIulbkrt lias terribly alarmed the Jntttligencer, and It has almost gone into spasms over what •it calls such electioneering tricks as this one of Mr. K. Ui’I.uert and his radical compeers at these Headquarters.” Mr. Intelligencer might he bcneflttad by just walking across the street and talcing a collide glasses of Artie soda water by way of cooling oil'. Keep cool, dear friend; we see no trick. Mr. IIui.beht has simply published his in dividual opinions, plainly and boldly, nnd said over his own signature— — Let tho motto of the Reconstruction Party in Georgia he ‘Convention and Re* lief.’” The Intelligencer has done Colonel IIulhkrt a favor by giving his opinion in the premises to its readers. Its readers will judge the circular upon its merits, without the colorings of the editorial. We predict that tho circular will make live converts to the Reconstruction Party where the editorial will drive one away. 'Keep the circular standing, Mr. Intelligen cer. Cull attention to it daily. You will unwittingly aid the Convention Party. Such relief us can ho legally granted the Convontlon will grant. What do you say, Mr. Intelligencer, of relief? Are you for it or not? Speak out plainly. No “ tricks ” now. Don’t try to carry water on both shoul ders. Can’t do it. Bo on one side or the other—for or against Convention—for or against relief. Raise your banner, nnd t**ke your chances. No time now to parley. "These are troublous times for timid men.” The Election.—The attention of the reader is directed to Order No. GO, publish ed this morning. This order should be carefully read and studied by all who arc entitled to vote, or who expect to participate In tlmt election. The Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth sections of the order should be especially heeded by those Interested; as neglect of duty on this point may lead to trouble. If this order is faithfully executed fund we have every reason to believe that it will he), we shall have one of tho most quiet and orderly elections held in this State for many years. Unauthorized.—A circular, edited Jit Savannah, and calling a "Grand Republi can and Relief Moss Meeting, to assemble on the 30th Inst.,” and signed by Ex-Gov. James Johnson, Wm. Markham. C. II. Hod- kins and Aaron Bradley, has been thrown broadcast over tho country. Gov. Johnson and Mr. HorKixa deny any complicity whatever in tho movement. And we are authorized by Mr. Markham to say that lie knew nothing of the scheme, and that his name has been signed to the circular without his knowledge or consent. It is hoped, therefore, that those pub^ 11c journals which have given tho clrcu Jar publicity will do tho gentlemen named .the justice to make this or reft! so MB. HILL’S LAST 11 NOTE,” The twenty-second and last “Note on the Situation ” has been issued. The vo cabulary of vituperation has been ex hausted. The dysentery of words lias sub sided. Mr. IIill began these Xotes some thre? months ago, by asserting, in his usually confident manner, that the Convention would be voted down In Georgia. Ho now admits tho probability of a Convention. Ho goes further. He gives us the assur ance of his own convictions, that a Con vention will ho called. He docs this all un consciously, by advising "respectable white men ” to keep out of that Convention! Wo quote from his last "Note”: I give my opinion now, that no decent white man can go to that Convention and retain Ills diameter. There is an effort to get respectable men to go to the Conven tion. Why? Not to shape its proceed ings, for these are dictated from W ashing- tou, and no discretion Is permitted. The purpose Is to make character for the wick ed movement! lu November, 1SG5, when, under Mr. Johnson’s Policy of Reconstruction, wad proposed to elect members to Congress from this State, Mr. Hill took occasion to write a letter for publication, in which he asserted tlmt "no respectable white man from Georgia could desire a sent in the Federal Congress ”! Less than four months thereafter, Mr. Hill was found denounc ing nnd abusing Congress because South ern members had been excluded. Mr. IIill would not endorse tho proceed ings of Mr. Johnson’s State Constitution al Convention of 1805, because, as he as serted, they had been dictated from Wash ington. and were unconstitutional. It was Andy Johnson's Convention ’*; the of the people had not been consulted. Nevertheless, we now find him hurling in vectives at Congress because they would not recognize Mr. Johnson’s State Gov ernment as Constitutional! Did Mr. Hill change his mind as to the legality of that movement; or did ho only seek " to make character” for an unconstitutional and wicked movement ? After admitting that tho people of Geor gia have determined to disregard his teach ings, call a Convention, and adopt a Con stitution, in compliance with the laws of Congress, Mr. Hill goes on to say: Of the correctness of one legal principle there can be no doubt: Unless a pinjoilty of the legal white voters—qualified by ex isting laws—give their consent thereto, this negro Constitution can never he val id. Let us, by nil means, nnd under all trials, withhold that consent. Then, if the force of law is'over restored, the whole proceeding will be set aside as void from the beginning, and every officer under it will be declared a criminal. Mr. Hill once asserted that tho abolition of slavery by the octlou of tho Georgia Convention in 18G5 was unconstitutional and illegal; and that it would never stand the test of Judicial Investigation, because that Convention moved only as it was moved upon by President Johnson. Aiid yet in a few months thereafter Mr. Hill undertakes to defend the action of that Convention upon constitutional and legal grounds; and only a few short weeks since he expressed a willingness "to die” for the State Constitution adopted by it! How long will it be before Mr. Hill will, In order io seek office under it, defend ns constitutional the proceedings of the very Convention in which lie says no “respecta ble white man” will consent to sit as a member? , Mr. Uill’s whole political life lias been a singular combination of blunders nnd contradictions. A "Know Nothing”— bound by secret oaths and clandestine grips and pass-words—ho anathematizes secret political organizations. A Union man, we find him voting for an Ordinance of Seces sion. An advocate of civil supremacy, he votes for an indefinite suspension of the Habeas Corpus writ and the establishment of Military Star Chambers. An advocate of free speech, we find him supporting a measure to muzzle the press, and seeking to run the pulpit with detailed conscripts, A stickler for constitutional law, we re member Iris opposing the establishment of a Supreme Court, because all laws of Con gress should be supreme, whether consti tutional or not. And assuming to he a gen tleman of culture and refinement* his lan guage is not unfrequently that of the fish urket; whilst Ids egotism and arrogant assumptions, aro equalled only by his in stability of purpose and ills shameless pre tensions to consistency. Such a medley of contradictions Is rarely found beyond the region of a shallow or distempered mind— a mind that may indeed display some brilliant parts, hut which is utterly want ing In ail the attributes of sound Judg- tnent. | Religious Revivals.—The Rome Cou rier of the 10th says: "The meeting at the Methodist church In this city Is still pro gressing with increasing interest. Quite q large number have professed conversion, and the altar Is nightly crowded with mourners.” The Albany paper of the 17th says: "A protracted meeting has been in progress in tho Methodist church in this city during tho past week, and will probably continue for several days longer. On last Sunday afternnpu eight converts wore received Into full oomniunlon with the church, and two wore received by letter.” I'eraoual EEKLY OPINION.

In Chicago, a few days ago. Dr. Charles Pertholdy was called on to attend a daugh ter, eighteen years old, of G. Aurbach hhe was eonsldsred at tho point of death, and was speechless. The doctor, under pretense of making a private examination, induced all others to leave the room, when lie rav ished the girl. She did not die. but in three or four days recovered sufficiently to ac quaint her father with what had happened. The police were put upon the track of the doctor, but he has thus far managed to elude them. Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in 3letn- pldson Saturday night to resume coin maud of his regiment. John II.

Jacob Woll and his wife, Magdalena Wolh committed suicide on Thursduy, at East Liberty, five miles from Pittsburg, by tak ing arsenic. Gossips say that the object of tho royal meeting at Salzburg was to arrange a mar riage betwee.i the Prince Imperial and the Princess Gisete, of Austria, a charming lit tle inlss of eleven years—in fact, a perfect little pearl of a Princess, a sort of good fairy to all around her, and lull of simplic ity and tenderness. John B. Gough Is to receive 812.000 for ipeakiugoti temperance in Chicago during the coming winter. Beautiful Sentiment.—In the new piny, Under the Gaslight.” now 1 in such high favor, the heroine gives utterance to the following: Courtship is the text from which the whole solemn sermon of mar ried life takes its theme. AsioVcrs aredls- contented and unhappy so will they he as wives and husbands. So us you would bo happy all the years of your life, listen to the voice advising you: Let the woman you look upon be wise or vain, heautifiil or homely, rich or poor, she has hut one thing which she can really give or refttse— her heart! Her beauty, her wit, her ac complishments she may sell to you—but her love is the treasure without money and without price! She only asks in return that when you look upon lie speak a mute devotion, that when you ad dress her your voice shall he gentle,loving and kiqd. Tlmt you shall not degpisc her because siie cannot understand all at onc< your vigorous thought.* and ambitious de signs— for when misfortune and evil have defeated your greatest purposes, her love remains to console you 1 You look to the trees for strength and .grandeur—do not despise flowers because their fragra all they have to give. Remember, love Is all a woman has to give—hut It is the only earthly thing that God permits us to carry beyond the grave. Projected Railroads.—Tho St. Louis people aro striving to extend railroad com munication from St. Louis tip the Missou-* rl to Council Bluffs, to reach the trade of Western Iowa, Nebraska and Dakota, and the effort soeniB likely to be successful, road is also to be built from Macon, on the North Missouri Railroad, to the mouth of the Des Moines River, In.tho northwestern part of Missouri. There It will connect with the Iowa railroads, and with those of Illinois, by means of the road which ter minates at Warsaw, on the opposite side of the Mississippi. Part of the proposed road lias been surveyed, and several hundred hands are at work. The counties in Mis sour! along the line hqvo subscribed very liberally In aid of the road, City Finance.—The Chattanooga Union calls the attention of Its readers to the re port of the Finance Committee upon the Metropolitan Police, and says if the State legislature has any compassion at all upon us it ought at once to repeal the law estab lishing this force. It is utterly impossible for us to pay $13,000 for a police which, by the roport of Its chief, Is proved to be en tirely unnecessary, making hardly two ar rests per day, and each arrest cdsttug the tax payers $10.

Bisttot* McGill.—This em inent prelate, says the Richmond Dispatch, who tins been absent fbr several month* on s vlk|t to Romo and other portions of Eu rope, returned to Richipppd last Frida}*, the 15th instant. We are pleased to hear that tho Bishop lias enjoyed uninterrupted gopd health, nnd Is looking at this time rcmatkablywe^. C$rFrom the manner in which the In telligencer is exercising Itself over Messrs. "Markham,Farrovf, Gaskill nnd Dunning,” tlio public Will be led to believe that Col. wjiltaker regards them as the piost able and efficient advocates of Reconstruction In the State. IVc do not know that the compliment is intentional, .but such U,the interpretation of the public. Charleston News docs not ex pect the President’s amnesty Will operate tb enfranchise persons cut off from regis tration by the Reconstruction Laws. r Across (lie Sierra Nevada*. The great tunnel of the Central Pacific Railroad at the summit of the Sierra Ne vada Range Is opened. The track Is being laid on the Eastern slope, a locomotive Is already running In the Truckee valley, and iu u few days the road will have reach ed theopen country of the Salt Lake Basin, ’after which progress will be rapid and easy. This overcomes the only noticeable obsta cles on the Western portion of-the through line; and its significance is understood when we are told that the cost and diffi culty of grading the 150 miles now nearly completed, Is greater than for the 020 miles next fallowing. The Chief Engineer* ex pects to average a mile a day across the In terior valley next year. The local traffic oil the completed portion surpasses ail pre vious estimate, and is lucrative without the immense through business which we may expect to flow over it. In accordance with the Act of Congress, tlie Central Pacific Railroad Company re- a largo Government subsidy, and aro is-ulngtlieir First Mortgage Bonds.to a limited amount.
