CONSTITUTIONALIST AUGUSTA. GhA. FRIDAY MORNING. 00T. 28,1870 Nola Bene. Our editorial rooms are open to visitors, and especially to Editorial Brethren, com ing hither during Pair Week. We shall be glad to tender them such hospitality and welcome as may be in our power. AN APOSTLE OF RECONSTRUCTION. The telegraph mikes the following an nouncement : 1 Richmond, October 27.—Ex-Mayor Cha hoon has been convicted of forgery, and sentenced to four years In the penitentiary. Chaboon's counsel will ask for anew trial. This George Chahoon, ex-Mayor of Richmond, so-called, must not be mistaken for a Virginia gentleman legally elected and duly installed as a reputable public functionary of the Old Dominion. Not at all. Gkohoe Chahoon is, we believe, one of the “saviors of the National life” and a filthy deposit of human mud left on the banks of the noble James river by the refluent tide of Northern in- vasion. An apostle of “loyalty,’ he was constituted, by a military satrap, in a “ truly Republican form,” Mayor of Rich mond. With the greatest difficulty, the people of Richmond contrived to defeat him for their municipal chief when a popu lar election, under bayonet auspices, was finally permitted. Gko. Chahoon did not yield Ills usurped office to the popular ver dict without resort to violence, and, during the interregnum which marked the conflict of authority, several lives were lost. Later still, when the Court was about to render in public a decision against his claim to the Mayoralty, that awful catastrophe oc curred at the. Richmond State Capitol which whelmed in death and sorrow many valuable lives. And now, this pink of Unioo shr\eWn»w-chiy!Ury, this ex-bayonet Mayor, this stirrer up or broUa, this dis seminator of woe, tliis George CnAttootr; comes to the surface again as a forg et'! At the time of his candidacy for the Mayoralty of Richmond, the Radical papers everywhere, almost with out exception, were loud-mouthed in their eulogies, and backed him, in the most fervent fashion, as a representative man, in some sort, of Union-loving patriot ism. And now the penitentiary yawns for him, and it is not the fault of the military commandant and the Republican party that Richmond is uot this day domineered over by a chief magistrate whose loyalty is none the less august because he is proved to be very much of a thief. Stephen A. Corker. —This gentleman, Democratic nomiuee for Congress, for the short term, in this District, complains that we did an injustice when to him as “an original Union Than.” We spoke according to such information as reached us. We-now learn, from Mr. C. himself, that he'was nat:«o_. “original Union man.” He likewise states that he was a soldier for several years in the Con federate army, and his disabilities were removed without his knowledge or con seotr*****.* wv . -A Something Wrong. —ln our report of Mr. Littlefield's lecture—“ Recollections of Abraham Lincon"—yesterday, the types made us say that “ stories and anecdotes were Mr. Lincoln's life passions,” when we really wrote “ life preservers." [ Wtishinrjton tjhrontcte. What a pity he did not have time to tell Wilkes Booth a nice smutiy story. Meeting of the Executive Committee. —At the meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee, which assembled in Atlanta on Saturday last, in pursuance to the call of the Chairman, ten members were present besides the Chairman. The following recommendations for the action of the party in the ensuing canvass and elections were adopted, when the meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the Chair man : Resolved, unanimously, That it is the judgment of this committee it would be unwise and inexpedient for the people of Georgia to attempt, to hold an election on Tuesday aftijr the jlrst Monday in Novem ber, and that it would be Wise and politic for all the people of the Otate, who are en titled.under existing laws, to vote at the election commencing on the 20th. Resolved, That we recommend the Demo crats and Conservatives of the State to or ganize in each county, and in due time to brine forward their candidate* w«* V’*’"' 1 for at neTo on the ~oth, tsS'T days of December next. Resolved, That personal aspirations and individual preferences should bo cheerfully surrendered for the public good, and where nominations are made, all who desire the defeat of the party in power should give the nominee their cordial support. Gen. Lee’s Resignation. —The follow ing letter possesses interest at this time; Arlington, Va., April 20,1861. General: Since my interview with you on the 18th Inst.-, I have felt that I ought no louger to retain my commission in the army. I, therefore, tender my resignation, which I trust yon will commend for accept ance. It would have been presented at once but for a struggle it has caused me to separate myself from a service to which I have devoted the best years of my life and all the ability I possessed. Duriug the whole of that time—more than a quarter of a century—l have experienced nothing but kindness from my superiors and the most cordial friendship from my comrades. To no one, Qeueral, have I been as much indebted as to yourself for uniform kind ness and consideration, and it has always been my ardent desire to merit your appro bation. I shall carry to the grave the most grateful recollections, of your very kind consideration, and your name and fame will always be dear to me. Save in defeuse of ray native State, I never desire again to draw ray sword. Be pleased to accept ray most ardent wishes for the continuance of your happiness and prosperity, and believe me most truly yours, 11. E. Lee. Lieut. Gen. Winfield Scott, Commanding United States Army. An Offender Tries an Offender.—A singular spectaclecame under our observa tion in Richmond, a few evenings since, during Mr. George Chahoon’s trial before Judge Guigon, for forgery. It will be re collected that Mr. C. is a United States Commissioner. After the close of the case Friday, for the day, Mr. Chahoon was taken in charge by a United States Mar shal, and as we saw the two wending their way down town we were told that Cha hoon was en route to sit in judgment on an offender’s case that was to come up—prob ably that of Wilcox, charged with having too strong an affectlou for Uncle Sam’s let ter pouches, the United States mails*. Cha hoon, charged with forgery in one court, sitting as judge in another court, it may be on a mail robber! And after getting through, handed over by the Marshal to be put in the lock-up 1 Strange, it true, but not stranger than other happenings of the present disjointed times. [Fredericksburg Herald. The Griffin and North Alabama Railroad has been completed Jo Newnan, aud the first train passed over it from Griffin to Newnan last Friday. I t . BY TELEGRAPH. ■ ■ EVENING DISPATCHES. Tours, October.^. —It is asserted tiiat Thiers, from ilXfiesr of Saving tSe Paris ians learn the true feeling throughout Prance. Prom all parts of the count >y come hopes Uutk thc t Goverumeul wyi accept no humi.l iating terms. The journals of this city arc unanimous that the only hope for fair terms lies in the Indefinite prosecution of ihaimr -- - * The Prussian movement eastward was stopped and the march upon Lyons checked by Garibaldi’s victories. Garibaldi has been active and has taken many prisoners and cannon. He has accomplished the object for which he went forth. A young officer lias just arrived from Metz with dispatches for the Government. He eluded the Prussians by au effective disguise. He confirms acconnts lately published of succ< .1 sorties of Baz&ine. He says the city and garrison are well pro visioned, and able to hold, out indefinitely. Information has been received from Or leans that all shops are closed ami the streets deserter!. The women almost uni versally appear iu mourning. Prussian officers ineffectually attempt to dispel the gloom. At Marseilles affairs are more orderly. Journals formerly suppressed arc allowed to reappear, by order of Gambetta. The civic guard is less unruly. Parties who furnish the enemy willingly, or for the hope of profit, will be court martialed as traitors. The Mayors must defend every town ; those failing to do so will be dismissed, and the towns be official ly denounced. The inhabitants of the Departments of Jura and Vosges petition against a peace involving a cession of territory. The Moniteur announces that, letters for Paris may be sent to the Prefecture of Tours, as it is determined to break the blockade. The Prussian movements in the Vosges and Normandy have been checked by rain, wind and cold. It is noticed that the Prussian’s Inhu manity have increased with their difficul ties: They destroy fanning utensils, looms and factories, and tear down dwellings, kill horses and cattle, and destroy food they cannot eat. rue r ranc-nrenrs, rasing advantage oi the bad weather, arc inflicting heavy dam age. ’ • 1 Keratry has ordered the Mobiles in Britainy to concentrate at Mars. Keratry will organize them himself for offensive vysr. Many rcgnlar troops will be incor- TwaJted with this army. Keratfy’s-preelamatjon promises the Mo biles the best weapons,'vmhr-p«opartionate cannon and mi tract i uses. Wagons are going through the streets, collecting provisions for Chateau Dun sufferers: London, October 27.—The stern of the Cambria drifted ashore at Tslay, Scotland. McGatlau, as far as is known, is the only survivor. It is reported that Pi assia, England and Italy concur in Aosta’s candidature to the Spanish throne. It is reported on the best authority that French cruisers have burned two German ships recently. Overwcg & Cos., of Shanghai, tailed. They were interested in the American trade. The bark Adept, from Quebec, reports a heavy gale. Pksth, October 27.—The Budget just presented shows a surplus of 9,500 for 1869. The deficit for 1870 is proportionately re corded ; that for 1871 is estimated at 113,-, 000. Bkrl'N, October 27.—Kiusr William tel egraphs the following to the Queen to-day: “This morn'ng, Razaine and Metz capitu lated. One hundred -and fifty thousand prlsomewiyincluding twenty thousand siclr and wounded. The army garrison laid down their arms this afternoon. It is one of the most important events of the war. Providence be thanked." Washington. October 27.—The Secre tary 6f War orders troops from Georgia and North Carolina to Month CaioUrfa dis tricts reported turbulent by Governor Scott. Customs for the week eudiug 22J, over $3,000,000. Charleston, October 27—Great prepa rations are in progress for the Fair of the itoutli Carolina Institute, which opens next Tuesday. Immense buildings hai'c been oreetpd.. It is expected to be the largest attendance ever witnessed. The official couut of the votes in the State election began Tuesday, and proceeds slowly. The results so far confirm unoffi cial estimates. Lynchburg, October 27.— W. C. Pendle ton’s mare, Nora, won the race to-day at the Fair. Rev. Father McQuirk’s horse, Sam, won the second race. He was ridden by the owner. NIGHT DISPATCHES. * Tours, October 27.—The journals an nounce that a long interview occurred yes terday between Lord Lyons and Thiers. It is reported that Mazzini, the noted Italian Republicau leader, has left Italy and is now on his way to Tours. , The English at. Paris are under the pro tection of Washburne as the British Charge d’Aflaires has not recognized the- Re publican Government, and has no authority to act. , i London, October 27.—The Manchester Guardian, to day, the following terms „r which were proposed by England, Russia and Austria: Ist. No cession of territory. 2d. The fortifications Os Metz and Strasbourg to be razed, .‘id. Frafice to pay two hundred million francs Indemnity. Neutrals to guarantee peace. Madrid, October 27*—Members of a ma jority in the Cortes passed a Resolution for assembling that body on the 20th. Bt. Petersburg, October 27.—The fol lowing is a summary of the negotiations on the part of the neutral Powers of Europe for an armistice, and comes from an au thentic source. After reciting the deter mination of the neutrals to seize the first opportunity for mediation, the document, proceeds: “Russia, in Jules Favre’s visit to Prussian headquarters, believed that the long-looked for opportunity had ar rived. At this moment a reception of the Prussian note on the subject of probable early starvation in Paris caused a change in the idea of neutrals. When, however they pressed the subject of mediation again* Russia ty-ld back, on the ground that me diation unsupported by force would be worthless. Conditions of peace must be left exclusively to the belligerents. The course was still possible to convoke a na tional assembly, which alone was compe tent to decide the question of peace or war.” Blois, October 27.—A strong column of the enemy’s cavalry and infantry attacked a I rench reconnolterlng- party on the left bank of the Loire yesterday, but were handsomely repulsed after a short eii"i"e ment. - a ' ° Rouen, October 27.— The enemy oft-leav ing Gisons attacked Long champs with nine hundred men and four mortars, and were beaten off by Franc tireurs and other troops. Vendome, October 27.—1 t is said there are still two thousand Prussians iu Chateau Dun, eight hundred of which are cavalry. Troyes,! October 27. —Nogenfc was evac uated by the Prussians last night.

IS VALUABLE IN A NEWSPAPER, and it is therefore proposed in this advertisement to condense a variety of facts, important to the public, into a small compass. Those facts refer to Hostet tei’s Btom.ich BifteVs—what that celebrated medicine is, and what it will do. In the first place, then, the article is a stimulant, tonic and alterative, consisting of a*£ombination of an absolutely pure spirituous agent, with the most valuable medicinal vegetable substances that Botanic research has placed at the disposal of the chemist Mid of the physician. These ingredients arc compounded with great care, and in such propoitinns as to produce a prei aration which invigoratesi without exciting the general sj stem, and tones, regulates and contro's the stomach, the bowels, the liver and the minor secretive organs. What this great restorative will do mußt lie gather ed from what it has done. The cass of dyspejaia, or any other form of indigestion, in which it has been persistently administered without effecting a ra licid ciire, isyict to he heard from, and the same may be said of bilious disorders, intermittent fever, nervous affections, general debility, constipation, sick head ache, mental despondency, and the peculiar com plaints and disabilities to which the'feeble are so subjects. It purities all the fluids of the body, in ' eluding the Mood, and the" gentle stimulus which it imparls to the nervous system is not succeeded by the slightest reaction. This is a chapter of facts which readers, for their own sokes, should mark and remember. octlß-lnovl » FRESH GARDEN SEEDS. •eT WARRANTED GENUINE TO NAME, from the M.OBT RELIABLE SEED GROWERS in Europe and America, for sale by PLUMB * LEITNKR, Mpl3-eod*r2m Augusts, Ga.
