JLTLANTA, Q-JN.z SATURDAY MORNING::: OCTOBER 5. Thx Executive and 11k. Dm’is.—It turns out that “ the Executive is not inter esting itself about the trial of Mr. Davis.” The only parties North who ever have “in terested ” themselves in the case of Mr. Davis, were those outside the Executive Sing. According to Mr. Johnson's theo ry, Mr. Davis is a traitor, and deserves the halter; according to Mr. Greeley and others of the Congress party, Mr. Davis is nothing hut the defeated, powerless and of an overthrown empire, be act at liberty, as Toombs and others have been. In the case of Mr. Davis, Johnson has done as little to merit the confidence and love of the Southern people, as in the other acts of his life. It is Mr. Johnson who has thrown the ob stacles in the way of Mr. Davis’ trial; it is Mr. Johnson who has brought the South ern people to the very brink of ruin; and yet—strange infatuation!—it is Mr. John son whom our Democratic friends have se lected as their standard-bearer; the same Johnson, who betrayed the Brbckinjudge party in 1861, and who betrayed the oppo site party three years afterward. Gen. Grant and the Nashville Elec tion.—It has been claimed that General Grant does not sympathize with the Bownlow party, sad General Thomas act ed in the matter of the late election with out instructions from his superior. The following dispatch which General Gea nt sent to Genral Thomas on the day pending the election in Nashville,, shows how ut terly false are such statements: \; ■ Washington, D. C., Sept., 77, 1867. To Major Gen. G. fl. Thomas: I will ssnd you further instructions to morrow. Nothing is clearer, however, than that the military cannot be made use of to defeat the executive of the State in administering the laws of the State. You will not prevent the legal State force from the execution of its orders. U. S. Grant, General. On the evening of the same day, Mayor Brown addressed a note tWOen. Thomas, to the effect that he had no disposition to engage in a conflict with the State Execu tive, but simply wished the privilege of holding the election in accordance with the provisions of the city charter, and asked the General if he intended to nphold the militia, should the latter interfere with the election appointees of the city. To this. General Thomas replied as follows: I have to ssy that the proper interpreta tion of General Grant’s telegram order is to sustain the State authories. In the exe cution of their orders it is not left to me to decide the question of the legality or illegality of the election ordered by you. Upon receiving this response, Mayor Brown at once telegraphed to President Johnson,laying the whole correspondence before him, and asking if theeity authori ties would have to he governed by General Grant’s order. No response was received from the President. Bradley and His Crew.—Respectable white men withdraw from the Radical Ticket nominated in Savannah—the asso ciations being inconsistent with “the pro tection of property and a proper admin- i-t ration or justice.”—Exchange. This paragraph misrepresents facts ; whether so designed, we undertake not to ■ay. but such is the case. The “association” referred to is Brad- i rv*» crew, whom the Military dispersed a tew days since; and with whom the “re spectable white” men referred to, never acted or officiated. We have bad men in all parties—we even have them in all Churches—but when they voluntarily cut loose from the organization proper, and seek to establish some new creed, it cannot be truthfully said that the party or Church bolted and left them. It was they who left the party. We understand, however, that Bradley and his associates have repented their folly, and are now quite willing to behave themselves. We hope they will make good their commendable resolution, and quit their foolery. Financial Troubles.—The gold and cotton markets are at right angles; one ad vances and the other recedes, in one and the same day. Can anything better illus trate the present deranged and unsettled condition of the country ? Can anything be more significant? The political trou bles in Europe have assumed such propor tions as to threaten suspension in the man ufacture, of cotton fabrics. Consequently, the Liverpool cotton market is depressed. Gold In New York advances in anticipa tion of a return from Europe of Govern ment securities. This creates a sensation in the commercial circles throughout the South and West. It makes creditors im portunate, and conspires to cripple the ef forts of the debtor to meet his obligations. Capital, apprehensive of the future, avoids investments. Creditors arc pressed in to Ivankruptcy; and Confidence, the very ba sis of commercicl prosperity, is lost. So we go. BY TELEGRAPH^ irtoi FROM THE HEW TORE PRESS ASSOCIATTOE The Louisiana Election.—The indiffer ence manifested by the white population of New Orleans, and, indeed, of the whole Mate of Ixmisiana. in the late election, is among the most mournful signs of the times. In the city of New Orleans the vote is nearly twenty-six hundred less than a majority of registered voters. Very few of the whites, it seems, voted, as nearly nine-tenths of the votes cast were polled by negroes. The consequence will be that the negroes and the very few white men •» ho voted, will control the policy of the State and give it a Constitution for years to come. This culpable neglect on the part of the white voters will be repented of when it is too late. Tar. Alabama Election.—The white voters of Alabama seem foolishly indiffer ent over an issue which is to decide their weal or woe for years to come. They have given over the State to the control of of the non-property holding class; these arc to frame their future Constitution and direct the political destinies of that once great and powerful State. Is it not strange that intelligent men will thus trifle with their own interests and prove recreant to the claims of posterity ? Public School in Cass County.—There will be a meeting in Cartersville, to-day, tor the purpose of taking into considera tion the prosperity of, and to devise means to build up first-class schools in that place, This is a matter, says the Express, in which not only the parents in the country are in terested, but two good High Schools, with one hundred and fifty scholars, such as will do more for the prosperity of Cartersville than ten court houses. School houses for the purpose can be built, teachers compe tent can be had, and the work can and will be done. Whitfield County.—The Republicans of Whitfield county, met in Convention at the Court House, on^he first inst, and nominated N. P. Harben, Esq., as their candidate for the approaching State Con* ▼entrap S Letter from Hon. Bxverdy Johnson.— The Augusta Republican publishes the fol lowing letter from Senator Johnson to a citizen of Augusta: Baltimore, Aug. 23d, 1867, Dear Sir : I have to-day yonre of the 19th. By this mail, I forward you a copy of a minority report made by me, on the con dition of the States. The opinion it main tains is still mine. My reason for the votes to which you re fer were given at the time in two or three short speeches, afterwards published in pamphlet. As soon as I can get one I will send you a copy. As you will see, the vote was given un der a conviction that the measure, if adop ted, would save the people of the South from confiscation, and the violent meas ures against which I feared no judicial re lief could be had. If the States are represented, I have a strong hope, almost an assurance that ere long all the restrictions the reconstruction Acts contain will be removed. This I know is the belief and wish of many leading Re publicans of both branches of Congress, certainly of the Senate. I agree with you, that the defeat of Douglas, by Democratic defections, was a fatal mistake. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Beverdy Johnson. Mr. Johnson is actuated by the same motives which operate to cause several prominent gentlemen in Georgia, to advo cate Reconstruction. He therefore belongs to Gen. Wright’s catagory of “White Nig gers.” Sheriff of Spalding County.—Mr. Swayze, of the Griffin Union, and the Sheriff of that county have had some per sonal misunderstanding, and perhaps a fight also. Wherefore we find the follow ing paragraph in that paper of yester day : Wo deem it our duty to call upon Gen. Pope to relieve the present Sheriff of this county, and appoint in his place a man who will do his duty regardless of the color of the skin of those with whom he has to deal. We want an impartial officer—one who will not keep a warrant in his pocket to protect a white defendant because the prosecutor happens to be black. We take it that Gen. Pope will not re move a faithful officer for having given personal offense to the editor of the Union! Personal matters should be settled other wise. If the gentlemen are not satisfied, let them fight again! Such cases do not properly come under Gen. Pope’s jurisdic tion. They relate to the jus honorarium. E3TThe chances are, if the Southern States will vote down the Military scheme, Congress will come to its senses.—Ex change. The same argument, it will be remem bered, was used against the ratification of the Constitutional Amendments in Octo- lier of last year. We know the result Shall we continue to reap the fruits of Folly ? Is the hope that “Congress will come to its senses” sufficient reason for the rejection of the proposed measure of Peace? Was the hope that the North would grow tired of the war. and ultimate]}* cease its prosecution, realized in 1803-04? In short, have any hopes, based upon an an ticipated reaction in Northern public sen timent, ever been realized ? “Intrepid” English.—If the use of bad English were an unpardonable sin, some of the prominent politicians and statesmen of the present day could not hope to escape eternal punishment. In a speech of Gov Geary, of Pennsylvania, recently delivered at Harrisburg, in that State, he declared that Mr. Johnson had “disrespected the graves of brave Union men,” etc. Some body once asked how the Duke of Welling ton spoke French. “Just as he fights,” re plied his friend; “with the greatest intre pidity.” Gov. Geary imitates the Duke’s courage in his encounters with the Eng- lish. __________ Gen. Fletcher and Gen. Grants—A Washington letter to the New York Times, dated Sept. 29th, says: Gov. Fletcher, of Missouri, who has been here recently settling the war claims of his State against the Government, had an interview with Gen. Grant yesterday, the result of which has not transpired. The Governor, however, is very emphatic in his expressions of satisfaction with the views entertained by Gen. Grant regarding recon struction affaire. Gov. Fletcher, it will he remembered, is to Missouri very much what Brownlow is to Tennessee. New Orleans, Oct 4.-rThere Were 75 interments from yellow fever foil the twenty-four hours ending at 6 o’clootythis morning, an increase of 19 over the pre vious day. Thq-weather turned cold last night) with chilly rains to-day. Special Order No. 154, dated Oofc M, discharges all the Boards of Registration, except the Chairmen, who take charge of the registration lists, books and papers, and whose duty it shall be to forward them to the District Headquarters without up* necessary delay. The Chairmen of th« Boards are held responsible for the execu tion of this Order. .fudge Aheli, counserfor Henry Smith, accused of perjury, filed an exception yes terday. The case is being tried before As sistant Recorder Dunn, of the Second Dis trict Court. Dunn is a negro lately elected by the new Council. Judge Abell, in his exception, sets forth that Dunn, being a negro, was not recognized by the laws of Louisiana as a citizen, and hence not legally an officer. Justice Dunn overruled the exception, tried the case and difftijigg ed the prisoner. The prosecuting witno# refused to take the stand or be sworn while the negro was acting as Recorder. He was asked if he intended to insult the Court. He was fined twenty-five dollars. Washington, Oct. 4.—Contract closed by the Post Master General, through W. D. Mann, the Assessor of the Internal Revenue at Mobile, with the Mobile Trade Company, for a tri-weekly steamboat mail between Mobile and Selma. Service to commence) October the 10th. Post Offices will be opened immediately at all the im portant landings on the Alabama River. Lewis D. Campbell has taken the stump in Ohio in favor of the Democrats. J* W. Bell has been appointed Collector of Customs at Corpus Christi, Texas, vice McIntyre. The speech of S. S. Cox at Columbus, Ohio, and the proceedings of the Demo cratic Convention at Albany, is having a cheering effect on Bank men and capi talists. A special from Nashville says Brown- low’s election to the Senate is conceded. Revenue receipts to-day $1,000,000 Customs for the week $4,250,000. Richmond, Oct. 4.—General Schofield’s order prescribing the mode of election is as follows: The civil police arc to keep order at the polls, and to be held responsible for any disorder. Registering officers, during the election, shall have the powers of Military Commissioners. A registered voter ar rested for any offense on election^ day, must be allowed to vote before he is€aken to jail. In districts where there arej over 500 voters, separate places shall be ppy.idod for the whites and blacks. No candidate for the Convention shall officiate as At reg istering officer in the election. All liquor shops in the vicinity of the polls shall be closed. Officers o the United States Circuit Court are arranging preliminaries for the trial of Mr. Davis ou the first of Novem ber. Judge Underwood, to-day, overruled the motion to quash the indictment in the Rev enue fraud Oise, on the ground of waut of jnrisdiction. He overruled it on the ground that the law of 1729 gives the Court jurisdiction over all cases whether named by Congress or not. St. Louis, Oct. 4.—Thos. E. Noel, mem ber of Congress from this State, is dead. New York, Oct. 4.—Elias Howe, the sewing machine inventor, is dead. Philadelphia, Oct. 4.—The revenue offi cers, assisted by the marines, destroyed one hundred illicit stills to-day. Albany, N. Y., Oct. 4.—The Convention to-day nominated Homer A. Wilson for Secretary of State, William F. Allen for Comptroller, W. H. H. Bristol for Treasur er, Marshall B. Champlain for Attorney General, and John C. Fay for Canal Com missioner.
