Tuawan UP. —Capt. Foster Blodgett, late of
the C. S. A., has turned up at Washington as
a Presidential irapeacher. While the City
Couueil, so-called, has to adjourn out of respect
to the abaenlicism of the Military Mayor and
the would-be Governor, the interests of the
nation are well attended to. To show the ter
rible predicament of Butler and his gang,
we submit the following rich development
from the correspondence of the St. Louis Re
publican.
BOLSTERING UP IMPEACHMENT.
It is intimated, to-night, that the Impeach
ment Managers are considering the propriety
of introducing another arliele, based on the evi
dence of Foster Blodgett, late Postmaster ol
Augusta, Georgia, who has testified that he was
removed by the President, aud his successor
not only not appointed, but that tire Senate
was never even notified of the fact, as required
by law. lie testifies further, that the President’s
attention was called to the removal several
times.
Would it not be just as well for the Presi
dent’s counsel to inquire as to the value ol this
man’s testimony under oath.
Georgia. Medical Association.— Arrange
meuts have been made with the railroads of the
State, by which delegates to the annual meeting
of the Georgia Medical Association, to be held

our first column, says the Waynesboro Times,
it will be seen that the Democratic party has
nominated Judge McElmtirry for Senator of
the 7th District; and John S. Byne, Duncan
Cox and Thomas J. Burton lor Representatives
from Burke. We now believe the white vote
alone will ratify the Constitution, and we earn
estly hope every qualified voter will do his best
to elect pure aud good men under it. This,
indeed, is now our only hope.

Macon, Ga., April 2, 1868. )
The attention of the Democratic Clubs of the
several counties of this State is called to Order
No. 48 of Major General Meade, prescribing
regulations to be observed as to the challenge
ot voters at the election to be held on the 20th
instant, and the three following days.
It is prescribed in said order that “ no per
son, who is not a registered voter, will toe per
mitted to challenge the right of any person to
vote.”
In order that illegal votes may be challenged,
and to avoid any conflict with the order above
mentioned, it is suggested to the Democratic
Clubs in each county, and in counties in. which
no clubs have been organized, to the Demo
cratic party, to appoiut two prudent, discreet,
intelligent challengers, who are registered vo
ters, for each place of voting, who will attend
at the polls during the hours of voting", for the
purpose of challenging all who may attempt to
vote illegally.
A strict watch will be necessary to prevent
illegal votes from being received, and it is
hoped, and expected, that no person who may
be appointed a challenger will fail to discharge
the duty assigned him.

Hark the sound 1 The Church Bells sighing t
Melting through,
The ether blue,
O’er the far off city lying—
Gently, softly now ’tie falling
On the heart,
Where e’er thou art,
To Christ the Lord our Saviour calling.
Say ye humble ? Say ye grand 1
Where eo fa r,
In the air,
Rise the temple* of the land—
List ye I to those notes above,
Ringing out,
With joyous shout,
Tones that reach me full of love—
Leading wanderers back to God,
To the way,
Whence none should stray,
To the path the Saviour trod—
Calling sinners, 11 Come, oh, come I”
Words of joy,
Without alloy,
“ Come ye weary; hasten Home.”
Do ye hear them ? Still they call you,
Softly pealing,
Full of feeling,
Through the golden clouds and blue-
For they linger, loth to die,
Mid the hills,
O’er the rills,
That about the city lie.
Now again the echo swells,
A song of love,
To God abeve,
From yodr chimes, sweet Sabbath hells!

Consecration of Bishop Beckwith.
The great event, so long anticipated in
Protestant Episcopal circles, the consecration
of a Bishop for the Diocese of Georgia, to fill
the place made vacant by the death ol Bishop
Elliott, the beloved and revered minister of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, took place yesterday.
It is well known that Rev. John VVatrus Beck
with, D. D., Rector of Trinity Church, New
Orleans, was unanimously called to the posi
tion, but, in a modest and unassuming spirit,
he declined, and it was not until repeatedly so
licited that be consented to assume the duties
and liouors of the Bishopric.
Bishop Beckwith arrived in this city on Tues
day, and Thursday the ceremony of consecra
tion was performed in St. John’s Church, ac
cording to previous announcement. Long
bafore the appointed hour for the commence
ment of the services the church was crowded
to repletion by members of all denominations,
strangers from distant parts of the country,
and others, attracted by the novelty of the cere
mony to be performed. Ou each side of the
altar was seated a choir of about fifty persons,
whose musical abilities were combined to do
honor to the occasion.
Abo'it eleven o’clock the procession ot lay
men, ministers and bishops started from the
residence ot Charles Green, Esq., and as the
head of it entered the church the choir chanted
the lxxxiv Psalm. The procession marched up
the centre aisle, the laymen and vestrymen of
Christ and St. John’s Churches taking seats on
the right hand side of the aisle, while the min
isters, about forty in number, from different
parts of the country, took their places directly
in trout of the altar. Behind these came the
five bishops of the church who had come to
lend the dignity of their ptesence to add to the
solemnity of the ceremonial. They were
Bishops Young, of Florida ; Wilmer, of Louis
iana ; Wiliner, of Alabama ; Atkinson, of North
Carolina, and Greene, ol Mississippi; the latter
being the Presiding Bishop. These high digni
taries of the church walked forward and took
seats within the chancel ; the candidate for
honors took his seat within the altar railing.
The rectors and ministers wore their white
gowns, with black surplice ; the Bishops, black
gowns with wide flowing sleeves of white lawn,
and white surplice.
The regular service, as marked down in the
programme, was then commenced with the In
troit, Ps. cxxxii, and following this the Kyrie
Eleison and Nicene Creed, which was chanted
by the choir aud people most admirably.
Bishop Wilmer, of Alabama, then rose and
delivered the consecration sermon, taking lor
his text the 15 aud ltith verses of the 3d chapter
of St. Panl’B First Epistle to The
sermon was very lengthy—so much so ns to
preclude the possibility ol opr publishing it in
its entirety, and a synopsis would not do justice
to the able argument of the learned and emi
nent divine. It breathed a commendadle spirit
of catholicity, while at the same time being a
clear aad forcible expounding of the doctrines
of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
The speaker claimed that that church had pre
served more than any other, the forms and
spirit of the primitive church. The various de
nominations were formed by men who, at the
sacrifice of catholicity, were so wedded to one
idea or set of ideas, that they went out from
under the protecting tegis of the church in
order they might worship according to their
own notions. Thus, the Puritans, being illib
eral, could not sacrifice iheir Calviuistic doc
trines to the broad, comprehensive catholicity
of the church, and had gone'out of it and form
ed a separate sect.
Again, the Methodists for other reasons, had
left the church, aud so on through the whole
calendar of religious beliefs. The union meet
ings that had been held in different sections,
and the frequent interchange of pulpit#, by
ministers by different denominations, he regard
ed as a healthy sign, as showing that men of
truly Christian spirit were beginning to think
and accept in all their fullness the glorious
truths of Christianity, which had the eflect of
bringing all denominations together, and would,
the speaker hoped, at last unite them in one
grand Church of Christ. The Protestant Epis
copal Church offered a nucleus for the establish
ment of such-a church, for in its doctrines could
be found something which would suit the pe
culiar views of every Christian.
a|After delivering a ieugihy exposition of
Protestant Episoopal doctrine, and speaking
still further with regard to Christian Unity,
Bishop Wilmer addressed the laymen of the
church upon the manner in which they should
support, uphold and aid tireir Bishop in per
forming the great aud holy work to which they
had called him. This concluded, Dr. Beckwith
arose, and the Bishop, in the presence of the
congregation, charged him respecting his duties,
and the proper roaimer of performing them-
The consecration services proper commenced
at the conclusion of the sermon. Dr. Beckwith
walked forward to the door of the chancel,
where he was met toy Bishops Wilmer, of Lou
isiana, and Atkinson, of North Carolina, and
presented to tbu presiding Bishop Greene, of
Mississippi, and the Associate Bishops, who, in
answer to the salutation of presentation, in*
auired as to the testimonials ol the candidate
lor the office Os Bishop Rectors in attendance
read the call of the Macon Convention, that of
the standing committees of the parishes in the
Diocese of Georgia, a certificate of high charac
ter from the Standing Committees of parishes
in the Diocese of Florida, aud the certificate
from the Bishops of tbe United States.
Next the Litany was chanted by Bishop
Young, of Florida, and responses by the choir
and congregation. The Bishop eiect, in a clear,
caltn voice, recited his pledge, aud he was then
examined, according to the rules ol the church,
by Bishop Greene. The Veni Creator was next
chauted by Bishop Young and 6ung by the
choir, after which the ceremony of “ Imposi
tion of Hands ” was performed. The Bishop
elect received the Bishop’s gown and surplice,
and knelt at the door of the chancel, while each
of the five Bishops placed a hand upon his head,
and Bishop Young pronounced a benediction
upon him. This ceremony ended he walked
lorward and took his place among the Bishops,
clothed in the full majesty aud dignity of the
high and holy office. The choir next per
formed the following
ANTHEM.
Solo —How beautiful are the feet of them that
preach the Gospel of Peace, and bring glad
tidings of good things. Romans x, 15.
Chorus —Their sonnd is goue out into all
lands, and their words unto the ends of the
world. Psalms xix, 4.
After a pause of a few minutes, to allow those
who wished to retire at this part of the service
to go out, the Holy Communion service was
commenced, and the Sacrament of the Lord’s
Supper administered. The Sursuni Cnrda, Ter
sanctus, Hymn xciii, with Gloria Patri and
Gloria Exeelsis (old chant) by tbe choir, and
the Benediction coucluded the services.
The conseeration ceremonial was beautiful
and interesting throughout, and the large con
course in attendance sat patiently until the
cud, although the services were quite lengthy.
The mnsic was not the success it might have
bceD, as there seemed occasionally to be a dif
ference of opinion between the choir and or
gan, probably the effect of a want of proper re
hearsing. However, the ceremony pa36ed off
iu a very satisfactory manner, particularly so
when we consider that there lias been secured
to the Diocese ol Georgia a Bi6hop ol whose
ability aud greatness of heart, of whose noble
ness of mind aud Christian spirit there can be
no doubt, and we congratulate our people that
so eminent a devine has come to live and labor
among us. He parted from bis old associations
with regret. ! May he find in Georgia warm
hospitality that will make him welcome, and
cause him to feel that he is enshrined in the
hearts and affections of his people.
