ATLANTA , G-jb-.z TIIURLDAY MORNING:: OCTOBER 24. lb— -- JUDGE IRWIN. In declining the nomination, on the Re construction ticket, as a candidate for the Mate Constitutional Convention, Judge Ir win takes occasion to place himself upon the record as favoring the measure of Recon struction. Every man has the right to de cline a candidacy for office; and the rea sons assigned by Judge Irwin for his fail ure to accept the nomination, reveals, we doubt not, his real motives. He conceives that the duties imposed by the position which he now holds in the judiciary, for bid his participation in the political dis cussions of the day. He docs not say, however, that, if elected, he will not serve i, a member of the Convention. We pre sume, therefore, that, inasmuch as the election is near at hand, there will be no change in the ticket, but that he will, with the other nominees, be elected. We appre hend that there will be no difficulty in this matter; for whilst we can readily compre hend the Judge's reasons fo not wishing to participate in the canvass, wc have no doubt but that he will serve if elected. Let friends of Convention, therefore, vote the straight ticket as originally made out, and as publi.-hed at the head of our local column c.rn Grant to Writr a Letter.—A Washington telegram, of the 19th, says: Th«- movement made throughout the coun- irv to nominate General Grant for the Presidency, has developed itself in Wash ington, in the shape of a strong pressure made upon him for a letter clearly defining hi* views on the pending important na tional questions. Such of his friends as are urging the writing and publication of a letter, are confident that one will be forthcoming before the November election. I»f.aths.—Mr. It. T. Starr, an old and re spected citizen of Mobile, Alabama, died at his residence near that city, on the 19th instant. ,1. Mason Thomas, son of Major General Thomas. died in San Francisco. California, oil the 19th instant. Hon. Tiios. G. Smith. Judge of the Law « ourts of Tennessee, died at Bell's Station on the 18th instant.

Ki.li.iav, Ga„ October lath. 1867. 7* . the rottrs of the 35th Senatorial District ..f Georgia: I have been unofficially informed that my name is placed before you as a candi date for a seat in the Convention soon to be held in this State. Whilst 1 am in favor of holding the Convention, ami ardently de sire a restoration of the Southern States to their places in the Union, under the Con- -titution and government of the United Mates, as early as practicable, yet the eir- . instances by which I am surrounded, . ompel me most respectfully to decline the honor proposed to l»e conferred upon me. There arc gentlemen in the District who desire position, and whose services would U- as valuable as my own. if not more so. I am now absent from the District in the discharge of my official duties, and cannot return until some time after the election. Indeed, there is a probability of my being engaged in the duties of my position, that I could not attend the Convention w hen it meet*. Besides all this, and with sincere deference for the opinions of those w ho differ with me on this subject, 1 do not believe that a Judge of Superior Courts should actively engage in the strifes and disputations of political affairs. In my humble judgment, such a line of action de tract* from the dignity of the office, im pair* the usefulness of the incumbent as a Judicial officer, and tends to weaken the confidence of the people in Cqurts and Judges. For these reasons I must respect- Ttillv ask to be excused from being a candi date. or serving in the Convention, if I could be «lcete«r Thankful for this and all other manifestations of friendship and con fidence. 1 am. with great respect. Your obedient servant. David Irwin. In publishing Dr. Hamblrtor's response to Certain inquiries propounded by a cor respondent of this journal, we but extend him the courtesies due any other gentle man under similar circumstances. It will be observed, however, that he does not an swer the interrogatories in a plain, straight-forward manner When asked whether he supports Andrew Johnson's policy” of Reconstruction, he replies by saying “there is no Andrew Johnson policy of Reconstruction! ” That may be, but our impression has been that so far from abandoning his “ policy,” Mr. John son has picked up new courage since the Ohio elections. Wc have always understood the Doctor as a consistent opponent of Mr. Johnsons whole theory of Reconstruction. We have always understood him as belonging to that school of politics which denied An drew Johnson's theory, that tlic South ern States could not, and did not secede.— On the contrary, Dr. Hambleton main tained that Georgia did secede, as, in bis opinion, she had the right to do. This made her an independent power; and when she was subsequently overpowered and conquered by the Federal Government, she could claim no rights beyond those which, under the law of nations, the con queror might award to the vanquished. If, therefore, Mr. Johnson's policy was an usurpation of power, and his Dictations to the Milledgeville Convention unconsti tutional, it is clear that the present State Government is unconstitutional. And, if unconstitutional and bogus, why attempt to sustain it, in opposition to the law mak ing power of the Government? There are but two recognized political parties in the United States—the Johnson party and the Congress party. One sup ports ^hc President's “Policy” of Recon struction; the other, supports the Con gressional Plan. The first has proven a failure, and the last may do so; but it is certainly bad policy for the South to as sume Mr. Johnson's quarrel, against two- thirds of Congress, and. through this in strumentality, bring upon ourselves still greater disabilities. Nor will Southern men who have decided to vote for a State Constitutional Convention, be deterred from doing so, by such party catcli words as “Radical” and “negro equality.” We do not fear “negro equality.” Such a tiling is an absurdity. We are willing that every man, who can read and write, and who is sufficiently identified with the State, should vote, it matters not whether he be blue, black, or brown. Our opinions on this sub ject have never changed; and had the Plan of Impartial suffrage and Amnesty been act ed upon eighteen months ago, we would to-day have been a united and prosperous people, instead of being in our present de plorable condition. There is another point in this controver sy which cannot have escaped the notice of the intelligent reader. The position of Dr. IIambleton and his associates on the Democratic ticket, is a most singular one. They are understood to be opposed to a State Constitutional Convention, and yet are candidates for membership in that Con vention 1 Some of them have denounced the acts of the President in setting up the existing State State Governments as un- constitutiona; and yet they now recognize his acts as constitutional, inasmuch as they recognize his State Government as Consti tutional. Personally, we entertain the kindliest feelings toward all these gentlemen, and regret the necessity for opposing then- claims to preferment. And whilst the Sherman Bill is not in all particulars what wc could wish, it nevertheless comprises the terms imposed by those only who hare, under the law of nations, the right to prescribe the nauner of settlement. We are. therefore, in favor of calling a Conyen- tion of the State to consider the terms offered. him and revealed the strange fact, that, if the cholera-stricken negroes would pro cure one handful of salt and the other fell of figs, and sit beneath a sycamore tree, and swallow the contents or both bands, taking first a mouthful of salt and then a bite of figs, that the cure that would ensue would be sufficiently miraculous to show a direct Providential interference in their behalf. Accordingly 12 negroes threw away their “doctor stuff,” ana, supplying themselves with figs and salt, and seating themselves under the charmed sycamore, proceeded to dose themselves as directed. The reeult ‘was’ rather miraculous, for eleven of them never left the spot! The dose killed them! BY TELEGRAPH. The Case or Mr. Stanton.—Events are rapidlv shaping themselves into very clear indications that Mr. Johnson is seriously meditating a treasonable plot to resist the law s by every means which be can control. The programme for the removal of Mr. Manton from the War Office has been oi»enlv avowed. Mr. Johnson announces hi* purpose to appoint a successor to the present Secretary of War, without regard to the plain provisions of the Civil Tenure- nf-office Bill, sending his nomination to the Senate without any reason for his action, and preferring no charges against Secreta ry Stanton.—PKUtsdelphia Bulletin. If the President docs not do anything worse than remove Stanton and ap|>oint a successor for him. the country will be for tunate. The Tenure-of-olfice Bill was a bungling and uncalled for piece of legisla tion. It was simplv to protect partisan office holders, and while in design it was objectionable, in construction itwasa bun- ? lc and altogether a mistake.— Cincinnati JemtmerdaL Letter from Dr. Hambleton. Disttict No. 3, October 24,1867. Editors Opinion: Your correspondent, or more properly sneaking, a communication in your Issue of 23d infant, signed “Alias,” affects to w ,nt - v *»■» answer” to certain querries. In-.- :• 'ad dresses himself to in • for myself. The first quest know, am I in favor of : - sox policy of Recons!, that there is jio “Andrew policy of Reconstruction.” Andrew do ;.-otiand the Northern |**ople always denied that the Southern States were out of the Union, and as a logical sequence, when the Con federate Government was destroyed, and the laws of the United Stales acknowledged and obeyed throughout the Southern States, that Restoration, and not any policy of “Reconstruction,was accom plished. The word *•Reconstruction.” there fore. is a misnomer, yea. the veriest Radi cal clap-trap. The Government has been fully Restored, in a legal sense, and the present disturbances and troubles are only the effort of the Radical party to perpetu ate strife and its own power. I cannot, in the future, answer anony mous communications. In conclusion. I trust that “A’llaa” will remember that he who favors the accept ance of the Sherman Military Act is in fa vor of negro suffrage and negro equality. They are one and inseperable. Respectfully, Jambs P. Hambleton. Eleven Negro fa Doer Themselves and Die.—The Cairo Democrat tells this: A Mississippi planter gave employment during the past season, to thirty or forty negroes. The cholera broke out among them, and a physician was called, whose treatment promised quick success. An old negro among the number, however, was not satisfied with the progress of af fairs, and with a great show of religious zeal and reverential dire, made it known to his fellows that God had appeared to HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF GEORGIA,) Orric* Superintendent or Registration. > Atlanta, Ga.

The Managers will certify, on "the backs of said lists that they are the Lists of Reg istered Voters used by them at such elec tion. ‘ • XL The votes will be counted by the Managers, one taking them separately' from the box. and the others recording each bal lot as read out. XII. When the votes are all counted, the Managers will make a certified statement, on blanks furnished for the election returns, showing the result ot such count. XIII.

FROM TOM WWW YORK PS MSS ASSOCIATION Beeii.—Bitter beer has conquered Paris, and not only the French, but every nation represented at the Great Exposition pour libations in heartfelt homage to the genius of malt. The Champ de Mars is one vast beer garden, where hundreds.of barrels of ale are daily delivered and daily consumed. Nubians. Mussuluien. Chinese, everv one discards his natioual beverage for the novel tipple of England. In every cafe it is found, and placards of "Bieres Anglaises” gird the palace. This is happiness to the Englishman. lie sees his national bever age, as well as its praises, in the mouth of ail. and he swells with pride at the appre ciation of insular talent in drink. The American “mixed drinks'* pale before the pale ale. and .John Bull is triumphant.— Two gold medals adorn British bitter beer.

Richmond, Oct. 23.—The second day’s election passed off without any distur bance. Both Radicals and Conservatives were active in bringing voters to the polls. After the announcement of the result of the first day, the Conservatives were much incouraged and are still confident of victo ry. Mauy negroes had forgotten the names given when registered and many more had left the city since registering. The polls closed to-night with a white majority of 521. It is estimated that there is the samenumberof Halieal whites as Conser vative blacks in the city. Tue vote upon the question of calling a Convention can not yet be ascertained, but nine-tenths of the whites voted against it. At the so licitation of the Radicals, Gen. Schofield has ordered the polls to lie opened in three Wa*ds again to-morrow. Much dissatis faction exists among the Conservatives in consequence. The military was on duty their services were not called for by the police. Returns indicate that the colored men have voted en masse for the Radicals and in favor of Convention.

The Conservatives or Anti- Conventionist.*. seem to favor the policy of neither voting lor or against Convention, but to vote only for delegates.
