CONSTITUTIONALIST. AUGUSTA. GhA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JAN. 15,1868 RAYMOND AGONISTES. The editor of the New York Times is in great dolor over the reckless measures of that vile association of caulkers, yclept the Rump Congress. Do what these mad men will in the way of patch-work, the old tub of Reconstruction can not be made sea worthy; and the more they endeavor to keep it afloat, the more perverse and lop sided the crazy thing becomes. Mr. Ray mond has frequently deserted the afoiesaid tub ; but failing to find a stray spar else where to suit his slippery Augers, he has, time and again, with his mouth full of salt water, swam back to the ugly vessel in which lie flrst embarked. lie has stood its tumbling and swamping proclivities pretty well thus far; but there arc not wanting evidences of his utter disgust and a serious design to abandon a fatal cralt which may make one more venture Southward, under command of Captains Upson and Bout well, but assuredly this voyage will end as Captain Atiab’s did when he chased the White Whale. Satisfied of this fact, Mr. Raymond steps on firm ground again, dons decent attire, and, for the sake of old fra ternity, beseeches the Impious pirates to tempt the fates no more. With all his adroitness and learning, Mr. Raymond docs not understand the demon spirits with whom he has been joined. A few of them, like himself, when pursued by heaven and hell, may save themselves for a season, by taking to the bush ; but the arch fiends of the party are driven darkly on by superior agencies and know lull well that there is no hope in retreat, while the slim chance of salvation lies in audacity and advance. Conscious of their danger and bent upon the hazard, we find them pushing on from one point to another, until the wager of strife can alone decide the destinies of this country for weal or for woe. A glimpse at the telegraphic columns, from day to day, tells the story. The Supreme Court threatens the Congress; the Congress retaliates upon the Court. The President menaces the General of the Army; the General retorts upon the Presi dent. The negro Conventions pray for un limited power; the Senate promises to grant everything required. Generals like Hancock, G hanger and Rousseau disco ver some sympathies for their down-trodden countrymen; their heads arc in imminent danger of failing into the basket. Hundreds of thousands of white people are being turned upon the streets of the North, with the alternatives before them of beggary, the workhouse or something worse; thousands of negroes in the South arc in the same predicament. The wheels of industry are clogged in the East and the West, while the South stands aghast in utter prostra tion. The party in power lias caused this universal calamity; and, instead of raising a finger to alleviate it, every energy is bent to make it the more blasting and irretrieva ble. “ Reconstruction is not intended,” says Mr. Raymond in his agony, “ the end of all this is not reconstruction but disor ganization and chaos.” lie thus concludes; “ The crusade now set on foot against the present piau of reconstruction is the product of' a determination to LAep the Southern ques tion open for the purposes ol Radical ngiln tors. They do not want any settlement of the question, just now. And they will allow of none which does not in all respects come up to their standard. In this spirit they virtually brand the existing law as a failure, and propose to supersede if by a scheme which will plunge the Bonl.lt into chaos. Its condition is already bad enough, with whites and blacks separated, and the power of framing the organic law vested iu the hands of the former. It will be infinitely worse, however, if the project of the Hontwells and Mortons of Congress receive the approval of that body. For from that mo ment the entire law-making power, as well as the entire^ civil administration of the States, will be controlled by (lie members of the con vention. A race tmt. just emerged from bon dage, ignorant and semi-barbarous, wiil have the tilling of every local otllce, from the Execu tive downward. Governor, judges, sheriffs, and all functionaries of civil rule, will be the nominees of the conventions, which again will be duped and guided by the knaves and adven turers who pull the wires. A more appalling aspect it is not possible to imagine, or one which more effectually cxtinguslies the hope of peacefully and permanently restoring the South to the Union. “ Wc have supported (he Congressional poli cy of reconstruction under a conviction that, with all its faults, it opened the way to a re -11 lited republic. We have preferred a harsh and in some respects unwise and unjust recon struction, to the continued exclusion of the South from the Union. We have felt that the supervisory power retained by Congress afford ed an opportunity for correcting the errors and moderating the excesses of the conventions ; and that, after restoration, the South might look for more considerate treatment, if not for actual magnanimity. But these endeavors to re-open the subject and to start afresh by plunging the South into positive anarchy, prove the futility of all reasonable expecta tions, and the wildness and folly, if not the po litical dishonesty, of those who are engaged in the work. If they succeed, reconstruction will be postponed indefinitely. Disorganiza tion will be the order of the day. And no man will venture to predict when or how it will end. “ In a party sense, the movement is destruct ive. Reconstruction has put the Republican party on its trial, and the verdict must be against it, if, after two years’experimentalizing, it confesses itself no nearer success than when it started. The country has sustained it so far, under a belief that it would quickly and safely restore the integrity of the Union. With what propriety or confidence, with what jus tice or decency, will it be possible to ask for further support, if the toils and devices of two years are declared by their authors an iguo minous failure ? What reliance can Vie placed on the capacity—what trust in the judgment— of Republican statesmanship, it it thus repu diate its own handiwork ?” After this masterly impeachment in the house of friends, little need be said by an enemy. As the Hadical.s disintegrate, the Democracy become compact. We of the South, who have suffered so fearfully from the devilish wiles of the tormented monster, should not fail to he in at the death. Let us return him blow for blow, stab for stab, mockery for mockery. We can only glut our righteous vengeance by alliance with the Democracy of the North. Let the word Conservative be banished from our midst; let the word Democrat be substituted for it. Let our clubs and meetings be in earnest accord with Democ racy, and let us fight under its great ban ner in the day of doom that Is striding on, big with the fate of the Republic. Gentle men of the Conservative Club of Augusta! will you not begin this movement? Will you not send back your rallying cry to our friends at the North : “ Wc are Democrats, and claim the privilege of brotherhood !” The press and people of the State, burying, for a season at least, all ancient prejudices, should unite in this grand movement and come forth boldly for alliance with the Democrats of the North. As Conserva tives, wc are neither Ash, Aesh, fowl nor red herring; as Democrats, we take a Anal and unmistakable position with the glo rious host tiiat tramps with the march of giants to the rescue of the Constitution and the Anglo-Saxon blood. Thus aAiliated, we will have powerful protectors; thus al lied, we will have any assistance within reach of talent or money. If, however, we sink into the apathetic condition of Conservatism, we must re main useless to ourselves and worse than useless to those who desire to help us, but can not easily accomplish the full fruition of their desires without a speci Ac movement, on the part of the South. We have not, in these columns, given bad advice in the past; we feel invincible in the present counsel. Organize, we say, organize everywhere in Georgia as Democrats. Put the State in a position to be represented in the National Convention. Prepare to vote for President, Congress or no Congress, satrap or no sa trap. As Democrats, we can work won ders and assert a long-betrayed majesty. In case such action should be ignored by despotism, two millions of disenchanted Northern men will know the reason why. STAN TON—GRANT— JOHNSON- It will be seen, by our telegraphic re port, that Gen. Grant has abandoned the portfolio of War to the infamous Stanton. 'Plie challenge to battle lias been defiantly thrown at the feet of the President. Will lie pick it up, as a true knight is bound to do, or will he, like a craven, cower and submit? No wonder, in view of this bold move, that gold is rising steadily. The ab dication of Grant in favor of Stanton means war to the knife with Johnson and Democracy; it means collision or it means ineffable disgrace. The mask is thrown off at last. The crisis has come. Comparative Results from White and Negro Labor.— A writer in the Pmthem. Planter and Fanner states that a gentleman in Charlotte county, Virginia, thus tested the comparative results of white and black labor : He furnished thirteen negroes with mules and implements and provisions to raise a crop, and at the same time furnished an outfit to two white men. The negroes raised 91 barrels of corn, 7 stacks oats and 5,000 pounds tobacco. The two white men, with a little negro gil l to cook for them, raised 112 U barrels of corn, 10 stacks of oats and 8,000 pounds of tobacco. The ne groes returned the mules in a poor, emacia ted condition. The white men turned theirs over fat and sleek. The negroes worked four mules, the whiles two. The gentle man referred to will, this year, work white men exclusively. To show the improvi dence of the negroes, he said the cart and mules were at their service to haul wood, yet they preferred to burn rails. Comment is unnecessary. A Splendid Chance. —The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier, speaking of negro representation, says: “ The National Executive Committee are using all their power in the South to keep down negro representation for the present, and till after the Presidential election. They will buy off the negro aspirants, and wc learn from good authority that funds are now being raised for this purpose. Any negro nominee for Congress can sell out his chance for a handsome fortune, because, even if a single negro should take his seat in the House prior to The election of Presi dent, the Radical candidate will certainly bo defeated.” Aaron Alueokta Bradley and his as pirin”- coadjutors can pay tlieir convention expenses from this contingent fund. When the negroes discover their value, there will be a good many candidates to buy off and suppress. “Cash down or no bargain,” will be the slogan of the Congo host. Pleasant for Cotton Planters. —H is represented by knowing financiers that the production of cotton in Brazil, India and Egypt will be larger than ever, the coming year. If Southern men think cotton lias touched bottom, they will, probably, touch bottom themselves and stick there. Offensive.— Some of the Democratic journals advise the victims of Seward’s little bell and Stanton’s big bastiles—all Northern men—to abandon tlieir projected meeting, on the 33d of February, at the city of New York. “ Cause vy the meeting might ofi'end somebody. Anxious Doctors. —Messrs. Garfield and Bingham, prominent Radicals of Ohio, express the deliberate opinion that the “ negro must be thrown overboard.” This may be called dosing tiie party with black drop. Served Him Right.—-Forney has lost about $30,000 by the defalcation of one of his chief men in the Senate. Forney says it will nearly ruin him. Pity to ruin so sweet a maid. Hot Coal.— Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, thinks the North has insanely de stroyed the cotton monopoly. His firm has lost over a million of dollars oil cotton. Hence these tears. Personae.—-Gen. Meade was accompa nied to Georgia by Gen. R. C. Drum. [Macon Telegraph. Avery appropriate accompaniment for a military man. A Good Joke on Grant.— A correspon dent of a New York paper gets off - the fol lowing : Soon after Grant’s accession to the Cabi net, lie brought up a proposition in Cabinet meeting in regard to the abolition of whip ping atf a punishment for crime, in the South. The whipping post, he said, was a relic of barbarism, and ought to be abol ished. All the Cabinet officers agreed on that point, but they differed as to the pro priety of interfering against the penal laws of a State. Such punishment was being gradually abolished anyhow, and would soon disappear entirely. Rut Grant be lieved that something out to lie done by the army to prevent its continuance. • It was so barbarous that it ought uot to be tole rated a day longer. Stanbery glanced at the General, and said in a quiet way: “I believe you still buck and gag men and tie them up by the thumbs in the army, within a mile of this house, don’t you V” “ Yes,” the General said, “ that had to be done sometimes.” “ Well, it, seems to me,’ replied Stanbery, “ that it’ B :>• little worse to buck and gag a man lor getting tipsy than to whip him for larceny. If yon had to choose, would you rather lie whipped or gagged ?” The General had to acknowledge that, as between the two, he’d take tiie whipping and lie postponed further remarks on the barbarism of the whipping post to some future meeting. Death op a Well Known Lady of ColumJ bus, — We learned with a regret which will be shared by her many friends in our community, on yesterday evening, of the death ol' Mrs. Stratton, wile of Calvin Stratton, for many years clerk of Council of this city. She died of cholera at the residence of her son in New Orleans, on the sth inst. —Sun § Times. The Albany Evening Journal states in a leader that, “in a close game, it is' never safe to show your hand.” The editor of the paper is a gospel minister. Seventeenth Day’s Proceedings of the Georgia Unconstitutional Convention. REPORTED FOR THE ATLANTA DAILY INTELLI GENCER. Atlanta, January 13, 1868. Convention met—President Parrott in the Chair— Prayer tiy the Chaplain—Journal of Saturday fast read and confirmed. (The President retires from the chair, and B. Conley, of Richmond, in temporary occupancy.) J. E. Bryant moved that the rules be sus pended for the purpose of changing the hours of assembling and adjourning this convention. Carried. 11. K. McCoy, Chairman of the Committee on Legislative Department, sent iu a report, which was read by the Clerk. The military order ol Gen. Meade, removing the Governor of Georgia, and the Treasurer, was sent tojthe Clerk’s desk, and directed to be read. The announcement was received with prolonged and stormy applause by the conven tion. C. C. Richardson presented a minority report Irom the Committee on the Legislative Depart ment. J. E. Bryant then introduced his resolution changing the hours for assembling and adjourn ment. The resolution proposed 10 o’clock, a. in., and 1 o’clock, p. in., as suitable hours for assembling; and 3 o’clock and—o’clock for adjournment,. The purpose of this resolution was to provide for an afternoon session, which c-ould be prolonged to such hour in the alter uoon or night as might be deemed proper. The mover of this resolution did not want a speci fied Lour for adjourning the latter session. As the rules now stood, important debate was often cut oA by the arrival ol the fixed hour for adjournment. A. T. Akerman favored the resolution, but would amend it by having it to take effect on Thursday next. Considerable debate ensued on the subject, which was participated in by C. C. Richardson, J. E. Bryant, J. L. Dunning, B. IJ.1 J . Bedford, «. R. Parrott, N. L. Augie.r, Aaron Alpeorin Badley and S. VV. Bcaird, the tw'O latter being negroes. B. P. Bedford opposed the resolution, lie did not wish to increase the hours of labor.— They were now sufficient for the intellect of this body. If members labored faithfully from 10 to 3 o’clock they would be tired. They would go to dinner at 2 o’clock, eat heavily, and re turn to tliis hall full, in a good humor, and easy oatured ! The result would be lazy and indif ferent legislation, and the bettor part of next day would be‘consumed in reconsidering the previous afternoon’s work. J. E. Bryant was not afraid of eating too much dinner, and he did not. agree with the gentleman that the intellect of this assemblage was incapable of further pressure, it was ca pable of doing more work, and since, it had been charged that there was a disposition to delay legislation, he would refute sucli charges by increasing the labor. It. H. Whitely was opposed to the move, lie agreed with Mr. Bedford. Jh knew lint there was done more work—quietly done in the in terregnum of adjournment—than was done while the convention was in session. The mem bers wanted time to confer with each other—to discuss this or that measure—and to make up lLoir minds as to the best course to pursue when the body should assemble, and measures come up for consideration and action. lie should oppose i.liis resolution. The members were already sufficiently taxed, lie did not. wish to see the imperfect legislation that would result, from such a move. J. E. Bryant insisted upon his resolution. R. B. Bullock favored the move in a few re marks, when a vote was taken and the resolu tion lost. O. J). Davis offered a rcsoluti n relating to tiie time occupied in discussions. Jhe resolu tion fixed the period of fifteen minutes as long enough for any man to speak at a time. A. T. Akerman approved this in remarks ol some length. G. VV. Ashburn wanted plenty of time for discussion. We have just emerged from a re volution of arms, and are now passing through a revolution of ideas. It was preposterous!— The idea ol confining a gentleman to littcrn minutes when he should essay to discuss the great questions of this day and generation. N. L. Angier moved to adjourn, since it was apparent that no business would be done to day. Already had the better part of the morn ing been consumed in doing literally nothing. J. E. Bryant was opposed in G. I>. Davis’’re solution, for he wanted an abundance of time for discussion. C. 1). Davis urged tiie matter, but the ques tion being called for, his resolution was lost. J. E. Bryant moved that the Ashburn resolu tion, and substitutes —they having been made a special matter for to-day—be taken up. Mo tion carried. G. VV. Ashburn rose in support of his resolu tion. He had hoped that it would not meet with any opposition in this body—but was mis taken. It bail been bitterly attacked on Satur day last by gentlemen on tills floor, and it WtJB incumbent upon him to reply to tiie charges of the gentleman from Fulton (11. V. M. Mil ler,) and Messrs. Akerman and Trammell, lie hurled Imck from whence they came the asser tions that liis resolution contemplated a raid upon tiie State Treasury. Such was not its purpose. Reconstruction was the endaimei at, and that, could never be until the present State officials were removed, for they were ob stacles to it. He would reiterate his charge that present officials were now using their po,ver, and funds of the Stale, too, that re construction might he defeated, and to for ward the recommendations of the late Macon Convention of “so-calLd” Conservatives. Let loyal men get in those positions and the same effective means shall boused to restore Geor gia to her once proud station in the Union of our lathers. He further charged that the pre sent. civil government was in co-operation with Andrew Johnson and his kind ot recon struction. Governor Jenkins had been re spected for bis private worth and purity of character, but liis day had ended. He was in favor of removing every officer in the State who was in the way of reconstruction, if it took until July next to do it. He wanted to get possession of the enemy’s strongholds at Sa vannah, Macon, Atlanta and Columbus. The condition of affairs in the. latter place could only be appreciated by some one who had been in h—II for a few days. Certainly it was out of his power to describe it. He was pleas ed to know that Augusta was in loyal hands, and would there remain. The enemy cannot be vanquished until routed from liis fortified positions. Let us do this and turn his own guns upon him. Tiie gentleman from Fulton had charged that it was “impracticable” to fill the positions thus vacated. This was a mis take. There would be no difficulty whatever. Every eouuty in the State had a representa tive upon this lioor, and he was satisfied that there was moral courage and worth enough in this body to till them all, and fill them proper ly. Tiie speech ot G. VV. Ashburn was a leugthy one—was a written one, and read from I lie manuscript. Wo have not space to follow him. J. If. Caldwell rose in support of the Whitcly substitute, and read from the manuscript his entire speech, ills remarks were mainly direct ed at. Dr. Miller, and were spun out to sueli a length that the reporter cannot follow him. lie went over about the same ground as that of G. W. Ashburn, save that lie frankly admitted that be, and his side of the house, would not vote for Mr. Trammel’s laudatory resolution of Gen. Meade, notwithstanding he had as much re spect for that soldier as any man, and so did the convention, hut it was in bad taste for the con quered to extol the oonqueror. When J. 11. Caldwell concluded, it was mov ed by G. W. Ashburn that the whole matter be laid on the table. Carried. A. T. Akcrrnun presented .the minority re port of the Committee on Relief, which was read by the Clerk, and ordered to he printed. C. C. Richardson offered a resolution that (lie Committee on Printing be empowered to em ploy three stenographic reporters for the con vention. A. T. Akerman moved as a substitute that, three stenographic reporters lie employed, and •hat one of the city papers be engaged to pub lish the full proceedings of the convention, as made by said reporters, and that each member be supplied with 10 copies of tho paper daily. He would urge this for the reason that con tempt bad been thrown upon this convention by the caricature reports which had been sent abroad, and it was fulltime that the action of this body, its business, its deliberations, and all that pertained to it, were truthfully repre sented. f.fnst here this reporter would re mark that his life can never have a greater re gret than that he. has beeu wholly unable to do just what Mr. Akerman wants. The conven tion may congratulate itself upon his.incom peteucy. It is a show that must be visited to be appreciated— pen and paper cannot portray lt.J J. E. Blount opposed the proposition. It. would add SI,OOO a day to the expenses of this convention. The people ot Georgia would no donld, he glad (and this reporter tt idles so, too !) to have the information, hut would they beaming to foot the bills ? The resolution was discussed at some, length by several members, when so much of ii is au thorized the employment of three competent stenographic reporters was adopted, and that part relating to the selection* of a city paper to publish, aid the furnishing of ten copies to to Um* Committee H. M. Turner (negro) said the question of re lief would come up iu a few days, and a vote upon it (Bradley rose to a point of order, but was silenced,) would he taken. lie wanted to know if this was a territory, and if so can wc pass hills of relief ? He wanted to offer a reso lution, and did so to the effect that if Georgia sustains territorial relations to the'United States this convention cannot pass hills of re lief. This was laid on the table, and 300 copies ordered to he printed. 1 Convention adjourned: The Vermont Legislature has passed an act to preveut paupers putting themselves en towns to which they do not belong.

JOHN BULL, MASrPAOTtRKK AND YI2NDRU OF Til .C CrJ.ttIIRATRD SmiiliV Tonic Syria pi FOR THE CURE OF AGUE AND FEVER OR C ll i LLS AN D FEY EE, The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority over ail remedies ever offered to the public for the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent cure of Agm* and Fever, or Chilli an«i Fever, whether of abort or long: stand ins - . lie refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth of tho assertion, that in no case whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strictly followed and car ried out. In a great many cases a single dose lias been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the gen eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease fins been checked more especially in difficult and long standing cases Usually, this medicine will not require any aid tokeeptho bowels in good order; should the patient, however, re quire a catbat tic medicine, after having taken throe or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of Hull’s Vegeta ble Family Fills ” will be sufficient.
