GEORGIA WEEKLY OPINION. VOL. I—NO. 13.1 ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY MOllNING, OCTOBER 29,1867. ITEBMS—$3 00 TUESDAY MORNING ::::OCTOBF.'R22. Connxi’nox.—In the publication of the ticket nominated by the Democracy, on rani r>lay last, the narno ofonooftlie notnl- •m» was omitted -our reporter having been misled by Ida Informant. Tbe com plete ticket la i« followa: Or. James 1’. Uambloton, of Fulton. r. T. Smith, of Fulton. .1. K. Gull alt, of Fulton. K. IV, Talllafcrro, of Fulton. Oaiilel It. Turner, of Cobb. tv. T. Winn, of Cobb. J. B. Key, of Clayton. Tbe ticket preaented above la corapoaeil ol gentlemen, among whom we recognize •one of our moat eateemed friends. That they are wrong politically we regret, be cause our own convictions of the right eunipela ns to oppoae their aspirations nnd political tenets. The ticket of our choice— the names of the representatives of our principles—will be .round at the bead of our columns. While we support the one zealously nnd earnestly, the other shall be opposed fairly and cnurtdniisly. A Suiza.—The fai t that a ticket was Nominated hy the Democratic Convention, on Saturday lust, hr no means proves that rite imnilnees are In favor of reconstruc tion. under' the ai ls of Cungruss. Their l.adlngorgaii advises the people to refrain from t oting “for" or -against’: convention. A majority of the regietered voters must vole upon the question of a convention, to authorise the assembling ef such a body. Further, a majority of those who do voet must vote afflmutlvely, before we ran have a convention. This la well known to the leaders of tlie Democratic Non-Ueconstruc- lion party. Hence, their followers are ad vised to remain silent upon the question of Convention, In tbe hope that a majority of those who have reglatered can, by stub born oeaa, defeat a convention. This Is the ■ret hope of the dlsorganlzcrs. But should tills fall, they fall back upon another. They present a ticket, every man upon which Is understood to be opposed to reconstruc tion under tho congressional plan. If we wrong the nominees s correction will cheerfully bo made. Wo believe, however, such Is the political status. The Rcpubll- van ticket is composed of men who favor reconstruction under tho terms proposed. Tho Itepuhllcun party will votu -for" a . .invention. The latter party will use every means to restore tho State to the sisterhood ef the Union; while the Democratic oppo sition Is using two plans to defeat that end. The Issue Is plain. I./t tho pooplo of Geor gia decide I Tits Nonuxnx Elkltioxs axi> tuk Bocth.— 1 There are thoso In Georgia who seem to think that tho result of the late vlections In Pennsylvania and Ohio can somehow modify tho terms of Itcconstruc- tion, as set forth In the Sherman Act. Speaking of this subject, the Cincinnati Commercial says: The tone of leading Southern papers since the newa of tho October clectiona reached them, la oot encouraging to those Who have hoped to see Justice done, and C ire and Union restored. The assumption that tho Northern reaction Is toward rebellion: that their rause Is gaining strength in tbe North, and presently they will recover In political warfare their losses In military struggles, and do better than If they had established the Southern Confed eracy—that is, rule over the whole Union, instead of half of it. They are mistaken. 'The North would be Ann as e rock. If the rebel cause were clearly at Issue. Tho Northern people have been attending re cently, to some side Issues. If tbo Southern people and politicians worn wlseenough to skracedo negro suffrage, and claim rebel ►ullVage—to take the broad grouml that •nrery body should be enfranchised—they would greatly promote the settlement so devoutly wished hy all who are weary of high-pressure excitement and agitation. To which it la natural to reply: The Northern people will not have negro suf- Wage themselves, but they persist In forc ing It upon the South. The consequence will be, that every free negro Nortliwbo can. will eoino South; whilst every white Wan South who can, will go North. Taxxzsaaa Politics.—We learn from Ihs Chattanooga Republican that lion. D. C. Trevbctt. Chancellor, and Hon. W. I,. Adame, Judge of that Circuit, have tend ered their resignations, and Gov. Brown- lew hea Issued proclamations ordering an nleotlon to dll tjoth offices, on tho 30tb day «f November next. We believe that the resignations of these officers do nut tskn effect until after the election. Cocxtar Partus.—Properly conducted, a rouutrr paper becomes a necessity. But When It Is Hlled up with stale Items from New York ami other exchanges. It liecouiea a nuisance. lews) newa eareftilly collect ed and put up In short, readable para graphs, Is the chief staple ol's good coun try uewsparper. lihx. Wasm.xerox's Warm.—George Washington's watch has turned up in Ten nessee. u Is In the bauds ofUenerat Ihuh- vod Johnson, who got It from Major Polk, of Maury county, Tennessee, who procur ed It from a Union aoldler. who “found" it somewhere near Washington. The watch, which Is a quaint old hull's eye tlmepii OVujiI.—A Washington dispatch, of the 17th, says: The declaration of Montgomery Blair, In Ills speech, last night, that General Grant, despite tbe contradiction which hod been made, expressed his gratification of the're sult of the recent elections, excites some comment here. I'or It Is known that tho Washington Star was officially authorized to deny tlm story, when It llrst appeared, The friends of Chase are making their com inents over tho two assertions, and Insist that General Graut shall define his posh tlon In this particular, over Ills own signa ture, or else request his friends to cease the agitation of Ills name for the Presidency, On the other hand the friends of Grantdo- c'are that the Blairs have started tills story as h part of a seheme to Injure the Chaao Interest, Altogether, tho politicians have boil a spicy time In discussing the contra dictory stories. .Viesens.—A Philadelphia telegram, Of the lsth, says: The Morning Post prints the following Ing extract from a private letter from the lion. Thaddeus Stevens, on the late elec, lions: " Sick as I am, I take this occasion to thank God for the late dell-at. The Repub licans have been acting a cowardly part, anil have met a coward's fate."

But I hope nnd ti list that the Republicans of tlm great Em .lire Statu will not abate one jot of courage or hope in consequence of tho temporary check their brethren have had in Ohio. For more than fourteen years Ohio has had a succession of Repub lican Governors, nnd she never will have any other. Her recent narrow escape will only havo tho cil'cot to secure her against future accidents. The Republicans of Ohio were never more radical, more contldent uf their strength, nor more resolutely deter, mined to carry out their principles to a ll- nal triumph than now. and. If our election could lie held over again to-morrow, wane cd of our danger, we should carry the State hy more than 5U.UIK). Wo certainly shall do'this next fall If we stand llrmly by the great and godlike principle of equal and exact justice to all men.

In times of dhimdnnt majori ties, when opponents are repudlatixl and disheartened, and the pur|awes and acci dents of the hour carry a parts upon a flood-title of success, those wlm In con science believe, and In heart feel, the lust- lieu and gravity of the advancing cause, may shun the responsibilities of the mo ment, ami Icavo toothers tho prominence and glory of results. Then all can be en thusiastic; then devotion Is evsy, nnd cour age is cheap.

Tbe debt caine from tho rebellion, and the rebellion would never have been ventured upon, had not the Democratic party Inci ted the spirit of secession, and encouraged ItM louder*. Vet we are formally ami grave ly prosecuted for creating the debt, nnd the country is threatened with repudiation and disgrace. Mr. JoIiihoii employs a .Secretary of the Treasury whose ixditicftl instinct* and notions, a* fur us he has any, are sinister toward the Union party. Un der his management, we arc told by Demo cratic organa, job* nud lux practices pre vail; fraud*and forgeries occur; bad men ure trusted; deceptive statements are put out; the public credit tuffer*, and all this is paraded and harped upon as If the Union uarty was to blame, and as if Andrew Johnson and Cabinet did not receive coun tenance nnd Impunity from tbe Demo cratic party. Ho. too, in the Houtb, under the inspiration derived from the President and his supporters In the North, men con spire to hi uder and delay reconstruction, and thus to perpetuate military rule, and the rcHults thus produced are thrown in our faces as sin* chargeable to us. While our opponents are practicing these auda cious tactics, our friend* in many State* ure beguiled by various other objects ot atten tion. California lights out personal differ ences.

The commercial, lluan- eial Interest* of the country are all deeply concerned In requiring at all time* tlie cn- forccm< at of law* and the honest payment of public and private debts. At thi* time, when tlie Executive connive* at tlie dell- atice of law, and when a great party i* rapidly ranging itself on the side of repu diation, there is but one duty for till* great State.
