JON STJLTUTIOITALIST. AUGUSTA. C*A. FRIDAY MORNING, JULY” 31,1868 ITor President: HORATIO SEYMOUR, OF NUW YORK. For V ice-President: FRANCIS P. BLAIR, OF MISSOURI. THE MILITIA. Having accomplished the extraordinary, but perhaps inevitable, feat of restoring the State to the Union as an unequal mem ber of the Federation; having, likewise, elected Senators generally acceptable to the majority of j>eoplc, the Legislature should devote themselves to measures of internal policy. We may look for redoubled efforts on the part of Brown, Bullock & Cos., to salve over their defeat, and, if need be, maintain themselves by a resort to armed coalitions. Chief among the propo sitions to prop up Radical domination will be that of Militia organization. Jac&bin Congressmen have dictated the policy they desire to be pursued at the South, and al ready Holden, the so-called Governor of North Carolina, has commenced operations on th% Browm.ow model, and promises to surpass in atrocity the Revered hell-kite of Tennessee. We may expect similar agita tions iit Georgia, lor Radicalism cannot live in the South, even with negro aid, dis carding the bayonet or disfranchisement. Thus persuaded, the few mean whites who rule the extremists of the party, will en deavor to replace the United States soldiery with “loyal militia”—a vile amalgam, whose prime duty shall be to overawe the people of the State, and, if necessary, per petuate misrule and anarchy. Now that the members of Assembly have shown so much conservative feeling in de feating corrupt and unworthy aspirants for Senatorial honors, we may confidently ex pect that any attempt to convert Georgia into a Tennessee will be at once and at all times discountenanced. As the next step of aggression will probably be in the di rection of a State Guard, we propose to meet it at the threshold, appealing to the « powers that Ixj” to continue to merit, at least, the respect of the people. The new constitution, articles, section 1, says: “ The militia shall cnnsist of all able-bodied male persons between the ag«?£ of eighteen and forty-five years, except sueli as way be exempt ed by the laws of the United States or this State ; and shall be organized, officered, armed, equipped and trained in such manner as may be provided by law, subject to the paramount authority of Congress over this subject.” We call attention to.this clause ol' the new constitution. The designs oi the Radicat faction are too plain for argument. W hat the Jacobins dare against the liberty the cmintry, and especially against the liberty of th" Sautii, is only equalled by their pertinacious acti/ws, which have hithert o been endured with a patience pass ing all comprehension. We know kmv t hey have “ reconstructed ” J cuuesscc ; we see how they have gone tef work in “ recon structing” North Carolina. A similar fate will be the portion of Georgia, if, pcr&hgnce, the members of Assembly lend themselves as agents to the connlvers of this infamous design. The recent action of the Georgia Legisla ture toward Buown and Bloduett, gives promise of a 1 letter condition than that which oppresses and disgraces Tennes see and North Carolina. Many of those who were elected on the Radical ticket are evidently better than the party to which they ostensibly belong and will co-operate with the Democracy in feuding off the ini quities projected by native incendiaries and alien adventurers. These men have an ad mirable opportunity of disarming much of the prejudice that exists against them; they have a further chance to prove themselves benefactors of the people in the largest sense. Let these “ middle men,” then, firm ly resist ail attempts to re-inaugurate bay onet law and internal discord. Let them vindicate their protestations of good-citi zenship by sinking the partisan and leaning to the side of patriotism. If we are to have a militia, let it be such an organization as the Constitution directs, and not a Praetorian guard for Bullock’s special pleasure or the venal designs of the Augusta Ring. But why have any armed militia, any active State constabulary at all? Infor mer days the militia were ever kept in the back-ground, and, when mustered at all. they furnished their own arms. The same thing should transpire in these times, if pacific intentions are worthy of preserva tion. We do not want any standing army, and, least of all, a piebald concern—a stand ing and perpetual menace and breeder of revolt. But, in case a militia organization be agreed upon, let it be of impartial distribu tion ; and if a necessity should arise for calling a portion of the State Guard into service, let it be by draft, in order to pre vent the fraud of accepting only those who would do the bidding of their masters, agaiust the lives, liberties and property of those opposed to their nefarious piots. True as Gospei..—lt is proposed to hold all future Democratic Conventions at Tam many Hall. Chauncey Burr says with great truth “ The Democracy of the country have ha(l enough of Tammany to last the rest of their lives. The public hall must have been designed by a lunatic, or it was especially constructed with a view to out rage all the laws of acoustics. To attempt to speak in it is like putting one’s head in a barrel. Iu this respect we have never seen any thing like it ia the shape of a hall in America or in Europe. It may answer for the Indians of Tammany, bitt for civiliz ed speaking, it is a wretched failure.” A Bad Cut.—The French illustrated pa pers loudly complain of Harper’s Weekly for appropriating their cuts. Harper's Weekly calls itself a journal of civilization, stealing, in a Radical point of view, being progress mk} not theft. GEN. HANCOCK AND DEMO CRACY, It bavins been bruited abroad that Gen. Hancock had expressed dissatisfaction with the Democratic platform and nomina tions, he has written a manly and explicit letter nailing the falsehood, like base coin, to the counter. Here is what the gallant Hancock writes: Nbwfout, li. 1., July 17,1865. 3.T. Glover, Esq., St. Louis, Mo. Mt. Dear Sir: I am greatly obliged for your favor of the 13th lust. Those who suppose that I do not acquiesce in the move of the National Democratic Convention, or that I do not sincerely desire the elec tion of its uominees kuow very little of iny character, believing as I verily do that the pre servation of the constitutional government emlueutly depeuds ou the success ol the De mocratic party. lu the coming election were I to hesitate in its cordial support 1 feel I should not only falsify my own record, but commit a crime against my country. 1 never aspired to the Presidency on account of myself. 1 never sought its doubtful honors and certain labors and responsibilities merely tor the pn. idem.— My own wish was to provide, i! I could, for ihe good ot the country, and to rebuke ihe spirit ot revolution which has invaded every sacred precinct of liberty. When, therefore, you pro nounced the statements in question false, yon did exactly right. Principles and uot men is the motto for the rugged crisis in which we m e now struggling. Had I been made the Presidential nominee I should have considered it a tribute uot to me, but to the principles which I had proclaimed and practiced. But 6hall I cease to revere those principles because, by mutual political friends, another has been appointed ? Never, never. These, sir, are my sentiments, what ever interested parties may say to the contrary, and I desire that all may know and understand them. I shall ever hold in gratefnl remem brance the faithful friends who, hailing from every section of the Union, preferred me bv their vote 6 and other expressions ol confidence, both iu and out of the, convention, and shall do them all the justice to believe they were governed by patriotic motives; that they did uot propose to aggrandize my personal for tunes, hut to save their country through me ; and that they will not now' sutler anything like persoual preferences, or jealousies, to stand between them and their manifest duly. I have the honor to ho, dear sir, very respect fully, yours, Winfield 8. Hancock. Crazy Stokes. — Stokes, of Tennessee, thus spoke in Congress, the other (lay : »• My people are expecting every moment that Forrest and his rebel Democratic crew will commence making war upon them.” Even as he spoke, Forrest was very quietly eating soft crabs at Long Branch. Again quoth Stokes : “The war cry has gone forth ; the rebels say they will rnle the country or exterminate the Union colored men, and, for one, I am disposed to meet them.” Charming candor! Stokes confesses him self a “ Union colored man.” There is one acknowledged negro in Congress. “No Irish need apply." Bullock’s Dears. —The poor fat man, who “ writes himself Governor of Georgia,” is very sweet, in his message, op the school marms. Laura A. one of the fat man’s pets, writes to a negro buck in Cuthbert, Georgia. She dates her letters “Tojfldo, Ohio, July 13th,” and apostro phizes her d«2ky correspondent as her “ dear friend.” Hear the duck : “The Democratic candidate for Presi dent is Horatio Seymour. I would like to tell you*)} about him. Five years ago he was at the head oi j)di Irish Catholic mob in New York city, that JUl'.od all the ne groes they could find, burning theit iiqnsep, stoning them, hanging them to lamp posts.” O, LaiJIJA ! O, Bullock ! Perfidy. —Alluding to ar, .article on “Perfidious Albion,” in the New York Times, the National Intelligencer says : “ Suppose it should publish an article enti tied ‘ The PerddUw of the New York Times.’ The ‘brief’ would occupy columns ot closely priuted matter, aud perhaps would l;e the most exhaustive and comprehensive one. of which the langjWßO can boast. Probably Mr. Raymond is not equal to ibs };tsk iu the heat ed term.” Whenever Raymond is accused of perfi dy, he pretends to he perfidious in an “iron ical” way. Ohio. —ln its consternation, the Cleve land Lender (red-hot Radical) shows how easily the Democrats can carry Ohio. It says: “The State of Ohio was ctrrieil for the Re publican party, last fall, by less than three thousand majority. A change of one vote to the Democracy from the Republicans in each ward and township o f the Htatc would wipe out that majority and give the ijtate to the Oemarm cy. Let Ohio Republicans ponder this. Let them consider that they are as yet by no means out of the wilderness.” “ Singing Soldiers.”—ln order to create enthusiasm for Grant and Colfax, it is proposed to organize choirs ot crippled sol diers. Horace Greeley is passing the hat for subscriptions. When in New York, we saw a goodly number of “boys in blue” grinding band organs for a livelihood. Are the “ Singing Soldiers” to be accompanied by the hurdy gurdy ? Is the great Sing-Singist Aaron Alpeorta invited to “ jine the band ?” A Lovely Specimen.—The editor of the Old Guard thus testifies as to oneof Justices of the Supreme Court: Samuel E. Miller, oneof the Supreme Judges of the United States for the district composed of lowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wiscon sin and Minnesoti, was originally by profes sion &u herb nnd worm doctor, who had no more knowledge of law than a city ward pett.i l'ogger. He was, Ot course, appointed by Lin coln, and was one of (the nasfiest bpezifpens of an lowa Abolitionist. Still They Come.—The St. Louis limes announces the names of three leading Ger man Radicals who have forsaken Grant and will vote tor Seymour and Blair.— Their influence is worth thousands of votes. The Qnincey (111.) Herald says in that city there have not been less than fifty changes of this sort iu t&p last three weeks, and in the county not less than two hundred. Wholesale Mongrelizino. —lt is pre dicted that, within thirty years, we shall have thousand# Chinese and Japanese in the United States. tfagW .suffrage having been permitted, the New York Repress has grave apprehensions of Mongolian equality, pigtails, dog pies ,a#d pagodas, iu the time to come. Truly Gibsonian.—The Chicago Pv*t\ contains the following advertisement: “ Wanted—Xu a respectable colored t iniiy, a white woman, to do general housework. Ap ply at No. 73 Carroll street. No Irish need apply- I. Jordan.” Truly progressive and Glbsonian. The Fourteenth Amendment.— The Louisville Democrat says the Presidential election can alone substantially settle the fate of the fourteenth amendment. The bogus “ ratifications,” in case of Demo cratic success, will be considered “ revolu tionary, null and void.” Making Amends— ln the Black and Tan Convention, Conley was very binding ou Aaron Alpeouia (negro). lathe “Sen ate ” of this State, Conley grovels and ap points Aaron Alpeorla (negro) ou the Committees of the Judiciary and the State of the Republic. A Moving Harangue.— lt is admitted by the most loyal fanatics that Deweese, carpet-bagger from North Carolina, forced Congress to adjourn. His pocket-pistol s|(cceh was too much even fin- Butler, who dreads “ concussion.” Indiana. —Changes from Radicalism to Democracy have become common in Indi ana. The Democracy claim that they will carry a majority of the Congressional dis tricts and elect a Governor of the right sort in October. f Correspondence of the Constitutionalist. Great Senatorial Contest —Joe Brown Poli tically Dead. Atlanta, Ga., July 29,1868. The great Senatorial contest is over, and the.result is a glorious victory over Radi calism, Joe Brown and Foster Blodgett. 1 was standing in the Senate Chamber, awaiting the decision in breathless anxiety, and when the vote was announced and Joshua Hill declared elected over the great Achilles of Radicals, traitors aud carpet baggers, 1 could not but feel an emotion of pity for the disapjxnutment and utter dejec tion which seemed to overwhelm poor Gib son, who was standing near me. I don’t know who looked more cast down, he or Kent McCay. When once it was known that .Joe Brown was dead, the shout, that went up from the floor of the House, and rang along the galleries, exceeded anything i ever heard, in vain did the Speaker rap and Bryant rant; the crowd was too full to be kept still, and cheer after cheer rent the air until old Conley ordered the galleries cleared. Dunlap Scott begged that the order should not be enforced and appealed to the members to be quiet that the ballot ing might proceed for the short tcfin. This restored order. At once Bartley, negro, was on his feet, moving an adjournment, but he was declared to lie out of order, and the ballotting begun. Dr. 11. V. M.Miller, the Democratic nominee, first on the list. Mr. Speer, Radical, nominated W. T. Wofford. Mr. Bryant nominated Mr. A. T. Akerman, and some member nominated James L. Seward. The ballotting had not proceeded far before poor Seward found that he had been sold out and would not get his pay, for it was evident that Miller was the man. Many of Joe Brown’s supporters, maddened at their defeat, voted for Miller, and thus his victory was a very easy one. The victory is complete, and as sudden as it >yas ijpexpectcd by Bro\yn and his friends, and shows tqat hi management the Democrats have very much the advan tage over their opponents. On Tuesday, after the ballotting, it Was plain that Mr. Stephens could not be elect ed, and to attempt another ballot for him was to secure Joe Brown’s success. It also exhibited the fact that Josh Hill was the only mao oil t!ie Republican side who had any positive strength. Quick qs thought a committee ol' three gentlemen called on Mr. Hill and informed him tfyat the Democrats intended to concentrate bn hill?. Mr. Hill replied that while he was glad to bg a,ssiji'pd of thp support of the Democrats, if anything like a political bar gain was intended that the interview might end just there. “ That lie had never made apolitical bargain in his life and would not make one to bp twenty tipies elected Sena tor. That he was a Georgian, and felt deeply the interest of the white people of the State and would try fairly to represent them, without fear, favor or affection.” The committee replied, “ Mr. Hill we do not call op you to propose a political bargain. We have called tp ask you simply for informa tion. Are you assured, sir, that your strength is of that positive character that will stick to you at all hazards? What we (par is that when once the Democrats begin to vote tor rot; that, your friends will leave you.” Mr. Hill replied, “ Sir, they are braye men and will stand pressure.” “ Then, sjr, we can and will elect you.” While this in- Iteryiegr was going on the Radicals who had seen these gentlemen go to Mr- Hill’s room, sent two delegations t.q him and not only offered to sell out Blodgett if Mr. Hdl would accede to it,, but to give him any thing else in the power of the party. To them Mr. Hill replied, “J never made a political bargain, and would not now to get anything in the power of the party.— Bryant then asked il' he WOUl'.l accept tlie short term, to which he replied that he would have nothing to do with it. Here the matter ended, so far as Mr. Hill was concerned, but the interview showed plainly that no matter what Mr. twill’s crotchets may be, that he was too honest to be bought. A meeting of the Democrats took place at 5 o’clock, and then the pro gramme was agreed on. The only difficul ty was in the five or six votes controlled by Seward. These were soon arranged, and this morning when the drum tapped every horse came to the stand, chafing the bit aud confident of victory. Poor Joe, however, did not know how his intimate and partic ular friend, Seward, had suddenly conclu ded to ride foul. The roll was called— Hill, 102; Brown, 98; scattering, 7. Here the excitement was intense, and vote after vote was changed, uutil Hill had 110, which was six more than was necessary to elect. At. this juncture poor Gibson could stand it uq longer, and, in an agony of de spair, cried out loud enough to be heard all around him, “ 1 don’t think men ought to be allowed to change their votes;” but his protest did no good, and soon old Donley got, up and, with a lugubrious look, announced “ 208 present; 105 necessary to a choice; of these Mr. Hill has 110; Joseph E. Brown 94, and I therefore declare Johsua Hill elected Senator.” Here another shout rent the air, and the crowd retired, singing Glory Hallelujah. The whole city then assembled in from of the United Slates Hotel, and Mr. Hill was called for and made a short and appropriate speech. He was followed by Gaskill, Fifcp. Hill, Cowart, Fitch and others, and then the crowd dispersed and are now getting on a big bender, singing “ Old Brown is dead and we will hang his carcass to a sour apple tree.” I assure you, Mr. Editor, such rejoicing I have never seen, as is evinced by the whole city In getting fid, now and foreyer, of the horrible night mare which has affected us for so long. There is to be a grand rejoic ing at Davis Hall to-night, and it is pro posed to illuminate the city in honor of the evait. Excuse a longer letter; everybody is wild with joy, and I of course fyave caugfft tljc infection. Onslow.
