J||N BTITU TION AL I «T. AtJGHJSTA. GA. SUNDAY MORNING, AUG. % ’ B<sß ii'or IPresi^ten-t: horatio Seymour, OF NEW' YORK. For Vice-President: FRANCIS P. BLAIR, OF MISSOURI. THEORY AND' OBSERVATION. No journals of considerable reputation arc so famous for abortive predictions as the New York Herald and the London Times. In the way of Presidential prophe cies and portents, Bennett’s paper has had an Almost unbroken stream of failures. It predicted the defeat of Polk, of TayCok, of Pierce, of Buchanan and of Lincoln. It now predicts the defeat of Seymour, and if jp-ophets are to be judged by past inspi ration, its heralaings of disaster are just, so many tokens of success to the Democrat ic party. The London Times lias no better record in casting horoscopes than its New Aork contemporary, when waving its rod of di vination over American affairs. The Times persistently insisted that “ the South would surely succeed,” and while we are sincerely grieved that it should have blundered in the premises, it js, at least, evidence in point to prove that the Times, when it joins the Herald ji\ assuring Grant ol his elec tion, has no I letter warrant than the first negro * pie-veuder you should stumble against in the streets. yViiilc the Herald and Times are theori zing, the one in a flush of anger, and the other in a tit of sheer audacity, Anthony Trollope, late a sojourner in this country, and a keen observer of passing events, gives his impartial estimate of Reconstruction and its future. This calm view is worth a wilderness of partisan speculations ; and While we hope to see the blacks return to reason and become something much better than savage enemies, it is very plain that Mr. TrO/.'LOPE thinks it will be no fault of Congress if this hope be thwarted. The Hall Mall Gazette of July 11th, contains this letter: Washington, June —, 1868. ***** * It bus been deemed by Congress that each of these States shall choose a new constitution for itself, but that in choos ing it, all men, blacks and whiles alike, shall have an equal voice, except that ■white men known to have been leading rebels, and that other white men who will not take a test oatb worded as to be utterly irreconcilable to the feelings of a Southern white man, shall be de barred from voting at all. The upshot is that the framing of tbe State constitution to be gjyen to the men who four or five since were slaves, and who arc still negroes. But it mast not he supposed that these black men have really been asked to frame their constitu tions, or to do anything else than vote. Fheii b»ye been sent to. them by post, vote alike. It will, therefor*, go forth to the •world that Alabama, Georgia,, and the others have themselves declared that white men and black men shall be the same for all political purpose, and that on this basis the States have been “ reconstructed” and restored to the Uuiou. I hold that tyranny never weut beyond this. If, may be as well at first to point out that iu none of the great Western States can a negro vote at all. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, none but a white man can vote. Ju Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, white men and Indians can vote, but never a negro. In the great Eastern Mate* negroes are kept away from the polls, either practically or by actual rule. Iu Pennsylvania no bbtok man can vote. I« New York a negro can vote, but not without a real property qualification and three years’ residence, in the States ol New Eugland, excepting in Connecticut, negroes can vote; but their number is so email as to make their votes of no possible value. Yet it hits been ordained by these victorious North ern States that iu the conquered Southern States all political power given the whites shall be put into the hands of a race of men who yesterday were their slaves. For mysell l am prepared to argue, if it be needed, that a negro is not fitted by his gifts and nature to exercise political power amidst a community of white men. Jle is so naturally subservient to the while man’s greater power of ml#* that, whtu passion is over, he will always do as some white man shall instruct him. But put ting aside for tbe present a subject which is very vast in its bearings, and in which men have and will dispute loudly, here has been iuiUle a provision lor a war of races with the express object of keeping down a people, in order (bat that people may be debarred from all politic*! power in the empire. It must be remembered Ifcat government iu the United States is State government for the most part. In Georgia the black men. on these lines ol re conftruclioo, would have itet power of making all law s lor tbe restraint of Hie J».riite. They would be enabled to enact that, a man efrnpld be hung f'dv this or that so-called crime--* Whiteman, if you will, for not taking of his hat to a black rasa But it has never been for a moment intended really to entrust this power to the negroes. The intention is that, thrcigh the negroes, all poi&csl power, both State power and Federal power, sfcaii be in tbe hands of members of Congress from the North —that the North shall have its heels on tbe -South, and that the conquered shall bo subject £0 conquerors. Never has there been ti more terrible condition imposed upon a fallen people. For an Italian to feel an Austrian over him, has been bad indeed: but it has been left for the political animosity of a Republican from the North—a man who himself rejects all contact Kith the negro—to subject the late Southern slave m&ner to dominion from the African asho was yesiefday his slave. The dungeon chains ate knocked off the captive in order that he may be harnessed as a beast of burden to the cap tor’s chariot. .But it will not. be so. There will in these Soutaern States be a war of races; hatred from the white znan to the poor, timid, incapable, unconscious negro; suffering lor both, infinite suffering for poor Sambo, who will oradually begin his appointed umk of dis appearing ; there will be rapid death of negro children, negro want, and all the following of ne <rro vice; but the white man who lives near him will gradually reassume his power. Taere will be an h?fl°x of Northern men into these States, and they will gradually become *4 white, men of the South, The scheme after a white will fail; bnt In the all the i bat "* * a conquering and a conqde. r « d maintained. Snch, sir, arc my tu, . etruction.” __ AT DISCRETION, ■'‘Gov." Bullock asks that discretionary power be given him in the matter of regu lating the bonds of county officers. We feel assured that such a suggestion would have been rejected in times of greater hon esty than the present, and at the bidding of men of fairer fame than his own. Even Joe Brown, when he simulated decency and true religion, would have failed to con jure up impudence enough for so immodest a request, and we know of no former Gov ernor capable of even the suggestion. It may be retorted that the olden times bear no adequate comparison with tiic times confronting us ; but, granting this, there is even greater need, in the reduced con dition of our people, to have the most upright custodians of public trusts, and, if not upright through natural and con scientious motives, their integrity should all the more be fortified or secured by a most unimpeachable bond for good behavior. We, therefore, hold that not only should sufficient and ample bonds be required of those who handle, or expect to handle, our money, but these bonds should likewise undergo the strictest scrutiny before being accepted. To show how the “ discretionary power” is apt to work in Georgia, we have a queer example in our neighboring State of South Carolina. The Treasurer elect, oneN. G. Parker, gave a bond, as requir ed, in the sum of $90,000, and was commis sioned by the “man who writes himself Governor,” It. K. Scott, late of the Freed man’s Bureau. The signers of Parker’s bond were Owens, a so-called State Sena tor, Crews, so-called Representative, and some others. Owens pays 45 cents taxes on nobody knows what and Chews ft (X) on his head-piece. Last year, as we learn from one of our Carolina exchanges, they had not even attained the dignity of paying the tax on a dog. When these l'nets were presented to “ Gov.” Scott lie cancelled the bond as worthless, but while this action is somewhat to his credit, he cannot escape re proach for neglecting to satisfy himsell as to the validity of the sureties. It is presumed that Parker, beiug commissioned, wili stick to his office with the tenacity of Stan ton, and so, for a season at least, have full swing at the treasure-box of our unfortu nate sister State. The amount of his pil fering will, no doubt, be “at discretion,’ and should the Comptroller have bis bill passed imposing a tax ou cotton and rough rice, Parker may stick long enough to realize a snug fortune, and then vamose the ranche—also “ at discretion.” We trust there are men enough in the Legislature of this State to defeat any such Gubernatorial swindle as this “ discretion ary power” proposition. If not, there is nothing to prevent our county officers from (entering on their duties with Aaron Alpe oria Bradley as a first class surety and Foster Blodgett’s salary asUnited States Senator for an imaginary fund. “ Let Ue Have Peace.”—Grant says: “Peace and universal prosperity, its sequence, with economy of administration, will lighten the burden of taxation, while it constantly re duces the national debt. Let us have peace.” General D- II- Hill, in the Land We Love, tii us takes the magic utterance to task and .Do answer 1 peace and prosperit y?’ What then does the ‘ it’ refer to in the next ligg? There is a plural something, which is to lighten the burden of taxation, and there is a singular something, which is to reduce the national debt, tyill some loyal grammarian explain what it is all about} In the preceding clause to the one iiudt r consideration, the General says: ‘I always have respected that will and always shall.’ Will the same loyal scholar explain what the‘shall’refers to? Does he mean to say that he always ‘shall have respected it?’ If not, whose grammar lias he used ? ‘ Let us have light ’ as well as ‘ peace.’” Gen. GijW’ s Brother.—Gen. Grant has a brother at Ohicsgo, Orville Grant, a prosperous and respected merchant. The Hartford 'limes says this gentleman refuses to vote fcv Ulysses on the ground that liis character ijuid habits unfit him for the Presidential chair. H e lately made two presents, one to the Church of and another to the Democratic Club of SI,OOO. A clergyman who suggested to him that it would have been better to reverse these gifts, was informed by Mr. Grant in reply that upon a careful consideration of the state of the country and the character of the two papdldates, he rather thought he ought to have doubted the present to the Democratic Club. Putting on Airs.— Titles are as plentiful as blackberries with the Scallawaggeries. “ Ilonorablcs,” “ Judges,” etc., are as cheap as mud*. In Virginia, a cow-stealer named Williamson, repudiated by the Lynchburg negroes as too mean for them, is alluded to at a public meeting as Judge WiHiainsoti. Still They Come.—Five or six hundred former Republicans were at the Seymour rsjtjfi.Cfttion meeting in Chicago. They cheered Jjistily syr the Demettatic nominees ami will vote rigid; i# ifqfffijher. Signs of the TWFA —There jre already many assurances of victory for the Demo cratic and constitutional principles candi dates the approaching November. Ji’jrst—The Democratic party are united {or the first time in ten years, and the ac cessions to the party from the old line Whigs and Conservative tiepublicans are marked and influential. Second—The country is weary of war and conflict in 8- time of peace. The country prays for rest, and the people for that peace and quiet which never can be obtained so long as the Radical party are in power. Third —The only sound hope for business men in the future, and for the full restora tion of the Union, is in the success of the Deiuocratic nominations. Democratic suc <*s«S mean's rate tL'ppe constitutional liberty, equal tS-KCSj fnj a better state of feeling and business, btit- it Beans that qpiVMpnce in Republican institutions which has not been Celt iq ten years. Fourth—-The Radicals are divided. They call each other haFd qawes. Have no con fidence in each other. Have poppinated their candidates on the sole ground of ex pediency, and have no bond of union but the weak and miserable bond of hostility to the Democratic party. Finally, the success of the Democratic party means the reduction q f the standing army one-half at least, and a saving thereby of fifty millions of dollars per ariuujn It •m«*#s, also, reduced taxes, —greater econo my apd a stricter accountability to the peo ple. The more fts candidates and platform are studied the poore popular they will prove.— Exchange, Atlanta UorrbHponctenee. Atlanta, Ga., July 30, 1868. The rejoicing over the defeat of Joe Brown and Foster Blodgett exceeds any thing of the kind ever known. Last night there was an immense demonstration in front of the United States Hotel, which was graced by as many ladies as could crowd the windows and balconies, and speeches were made by Gen. Gordon, Dr. Miller and several others, until near midnight, when the crowd dispersed. Bon fires and illumi nations added to the excitement and enthu siasm, which seemed to posses every one present. And well might the people re joice, for it certainly was a great triumph, when it is remembered that Bullock had placed the entire patronage of the State at the disposal of Brown. There is undoubt ed evidence of Judgeships and other high offices being traded away for votes. A cer tain Mr. I)., from Ilall county, who was elected as a Democrat, was found to he purchasable, and Dr. Wills and others of his friends were sent for by Brown and told to go to work oil him. They were success ful, and Dr. Wills is said to have returned home with the appointment in his pocket of Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary. (He ought to be inside.) To retain Sessions on the Brunswick Circuit, Graham openly acknowledged that he had sold out; and Ford, of Bartow, also traded. The bribe was offered in a great many other cases, but in these we know it was acccptcd.-*- Numially, from Spalding, is working very hard for his friend and partner, L. T. Doyal, and although lie wavered in the Senatorial race, I fear the pressure will be too strong when it comes to voting to confirm Brown as Chief Justice. A Yesterday afternoon when the train ar rived, the captain of police discovered among the passengers a person dressed in male attire, accompanied by a negro man, and on scrutinizing the walk and manner; derided that she was a woman and inline diately accosted her when she confessed who she was. The negro at once took to his heels in an attempt to escape, but was overtaken and captured. The facts'proved this unfortunate young woman to be run niiig away with this negro, who stilted that they had been living together for some time, and that she would soon be a mother.,. Her father was telegraphed for and he came up at once and carried her home. This is another melancholy example of the evil effects of negro equality, and although we cannot avoid a feeling of pity for the. poor unfortunate father, yet it was only what he had a right to expect. I forbear to mention hi ; name, but he is not only A Radical in politics, but has hitherto allowed this negro to eat at the same table with him, and to sleep in the same house. The political excitement of the last ten days lias prevented the statement of the Columbus prisoners from attracting the attention which it ought to receive. In private circles where it is talked over, and here especially, where we are acquainted with all the details ol the barbarity of their treatment, the indignation against General Meade is very great. The Radicals in Congress and the Northern press are con tinually charging the Southern people with bad faith, and assign as a reason for their cruel legislation that we are not worthy of being trusted ; and yet there could not be found in all the South, a single man so low as to betray Jefferson Davis, although there was a hundred thousand dollars offered for Ids capture Forty thousand dollars is enough not only to bring spies and de tectives from the North to suborn witnesses to swear away the lives of innocent men, but even to procure the aid and counsel of the Major General Commanding this de partment to perfect their hellish purpose. Onslow. Atlanta, July 81, 1868. There was nothing done in the House on yesterday, except to pass a lew uuimport •tut resolutions. Mi Price introduced a bill to .take I lie fcuutroi of the State Unapt outtrf tee teonte pr I.he Coventor, mid Mr. Shumate requested, tt •.iiApou m,it ui the rules in order to introduce a resolution that the Governor be requested to retain the prescut incumbents until 1 lie Legisla ture shall take aelion on the bill The House refused to suspend the rules; indi cating that there is little hope of being able to pass the Dill ol Mr. Price by a sufficient majority to override the Governor’s veto. In the Senate I.he proceedings were more exciting. Mr. Harris, of Newton moved that the SciiaLp go into executive session t.p receive,a message from the Governor- Mr. Candler asked Mr. Harris if executive session meant secret session—if it did he should oppose it, remarking to Mr. Harris that he knew what the words meant when lie made a motion to go into executive session, hut, he would be glad to know what Mr. Harris meant. Harris replied that executive session of course meant only executive session, and as to closing the doors that was a matter for the Senate alone to decide. Candler then took his seat, remarking that lie hail no objection to the motion, ami it was at once passed without opposition. Immediately on the passage ol the resolution, old Conley ruled that execu tive session meant secret session. Candler appealed from the decision of the Presi dent, and called for his authority. Here an excited debate sprang up, Candley charging the chair with unfair dealing in having allowed Mr. Harris to make the statement that the executive session did not mean secret session, and that the closing of the doors was a question for the Senate to decide. That his permitting this state ment without dissent was the means ot having the resolution passed without ob jection, and for the Chair to make such a ru ling, under the circumstances, was decided ly unfair. All the Democrats,anil some o t f the Republicans sustained Candler, and the result was, that Harris called the previous question. Candler said the previous question could not be made if the Senate were now in executive session, ami the Chair qustqin ed him. At this .juncture, Joe Brown, Who was standing in the lobby, and who had become alarmed at the turn affairs were taking determined to withdraw the com uigiiicalum of the Governor, which had given rise to the discussion, find sent Mr. DeGraitenreid, the Governor’s Secretary, iu with another message Gaudier objected to its reception As bring out of order, if the Senate was executive flessiWb »3 the < hair had just decided. Here wasa dilemma. Mr. Conley did not know what to do, but supposing tl.at the communication, what ever'it'might'be, would extricatß him front his trouble, decided to receive it. Thllte in less than one hour he had been guilty of bad faith in endeavoring to take a snap judgment on the Senate, then in deciding the Senate to be in executive session) when it suited him, and then in deciding it not to lie in executive session when he agreed to veceiye the second message from the Governor. Harris then moved that the communication be taken up and read, which was carried. It proved to be a corns muaication purporting to come from the Governor, requesting leave to withdraw the communication just sent to the Senate, containing certain nominations. Candler again rose to his feet to object, but the Pre sident at once adjourned the Senate. How he is ever to get it together again I do not know, for the Senate did not adjourn.— Conley, however, could stand the agony no longer arid determined to get out of it if it dissolved the body. The first communication was sealed, but we all knew what it contained ; natnely, the pommation of Joe Brown to be Chief Jus tice, arid C. K. ISfcCay aqd Dawson A- Walker to be Associate Justices. Joe Brown stood by watching the pros pects of ills confirmation, and when it be came doubtful, lie sent in another com munication to withdraw it, and Candler InfiiMim me that he can prove that either Joe Browii wrote the ,second message with out ever submitting it to Bullock, or that he had it already prepared ready to send in, should the necessity arise. This certainly is a very large discretion for Bullock, acting as GoVcl'llOr, to ■rhuu to Blown, and proves what Cowflt said of Bullock in a speecli the other Jfclit, that he is no more the Governor thaiis mule, but is controlled and led about l)y Brown as easily as ever he managed any amis express horses. Last night abo* one hundred and fifty negroes assembledj|h, front of the National Hotel and calledonßullock for a speech. He came to the Ixvlcony and made a speech which would have done credit to Grant. He thanked them for their enthusiastic demonstration and hoped they would all vote for Grant and Colfax next November, and then stated that having nothing more to say he would retire. The immortal Bryant then cam* forword and commenced in the same straifc, but when lie got to that point where he said he hoped they would all vote for about a hundred voices cried out Seymour and Blair; aud here such a shout was set up as caused the majority to dis perse in an uproar. Nothing done in either House to-day. Onslow. Education in Lincoln County. Lincoln Cos., Ga., July 24, 1808. Editors Constitutionalist: Yesterday we hpd the pleasure of attend ing an examination of the pupils of Salem Academy, in Lincoln county, which is this year under - the charge of Mr. George T. Bennett. In these times of intellectual dearth, when retrogression is the order of the day, it is really refreshing to witness such evi dences of advancement in education as we saw at Salem. Never before have we seen manifested a more thorough knowledge of the different branches of study assigned them than was exhibited by the pupils under Mr. Bennett’s charge; boys ami girls quite young, solv ing most intricate problems in mathe matics, Analyzing difficult sentences in En glish grammar, and reading the Latin classics with, an case that would have done credit to the advanced collegiate student. One distinctive feature with these pupils was their ability to support every idea ad vanced by proper reasoning and an applica tion of principles, thereby showing that they had not merely committed to memory meaningless sentences, but had stored their minds with useful ideas. After witnessing the exercises we felt that ive had abundant reason to congratu late the teacher, pupils and patrons upon the flourishing condition of their education al interests. Mi Bennett.-at the commencement of the war, was a student at our State University, and would hate graduated within a few weeks; but, impelled by that patriotism so characteristic of otir Southern youths, en tered the Confederate Many aud fought gal lantly to the close of the war. §; then he has been engaged in the le pursnftof training the minds of the and well does lie deserve the liberal age that has been extended to him. exerciser were closed by a chaste, it and . forcible speech from J. E. Strother, Ksq.Jwhose theme was Education, and in a masterly way did he portray it an engine of greatepower, and clearly set forth the important part it must play in extri cating us froiti our present sad condition. In conclusion he paid a most handsome tribute to the ladies, a large number of whom were present; and we will say here, that for refined taste, beauty and loveliness, the ladies of Lincoln can be excelled no where. The day passed off pleasantly, and every body left highly delighted with the day’s exercises. S. OBITUAKY*.
