of Georgia.

From the Augusta (Ga) Chronicle, June 2s.l
Nv private letters received from the North and
west we learn that the presence OF the two distin
rulshed Georgans whose names appear above
is most earnestly desired in the approaching
Convention. We believe their attendance there
should overcome all personal objections which they
may entertain to such q course. Both Mr.. stephens
and Governor johnson are very popular with the
western democracy, aud doubtless could render val.
liable service to the country by attending the Conyen
Iiou.

WASHINGTON, II. O., June 23 1868.
GENTLEMEN-In accepting the last nomination
with which you honored me expressed the purpose
never TO be again candidate for public office. Nu
merous inquiries addressed TO me respecting my
position In regard to the approaching election seem
to render 1t proper that should now revert to that
declaration, and TO say shat nothing has since oc.
Cured to change the purpose then announced.
In making this communication | wish to add that
shall unite heartily In advancing the success Of any
candidate you may select as my successor.
Your long and generous support which has re-
turned me to Congress, again and again, by In
creased majorities, during so important period in
the history Of the country, will ever remain among
the most grateful recollections Of my life leaving
me no unsatsned feeling, except that which springs
from the regret that have not been able to DO more
In the discharge OF the high trusts you have conhded
10 me as your representative With great respect,
am your obliged and obedient servant
To the electors OF the Fourth Congressional district
In the Safe OF Massachusetts.
Mr. Hooper's district (Massachusetts Fourth) was
formerly represented by Hon. Anson Burlingame,
the Chinese Ambassador. Mr. Burlingame's first
election was secured by majority OF thrty-six votes
over his democratic competitor, Hon. John 7. Heard.
This was during the Pierce campaign in 1852. Mr..
Burlingame has travelled some since then

4 FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION.

By request of many citizens" we
herewith remind such as are not already
reminded that we might as well take
steps toward having some appropriate
ceremonies here on the Fourth of July.
There is but one way that we know of
in which to get at the matter and that is
through a public meeting. There is
not much time to spare-less than a
month-and if there is enough public
spirit alive in the town to put the pro-
position through, let it be made appa-
rent. We would suggest next Monday
evening, the sth inst, as proper time,
and the Theater as proper place for a
meeting and discussion, for and on ac-
count Of this proposition. As many as
are in favor of the motion will manifest
their mind by being and appearing at
the Theater on the occasion suggested.

The bill providing temporary government
| for Wyoming Territory passed.
The afternoon was spent in consideration
of the bill for the admission of the Southern
States. Adjourned.
In the House, the Ohio contested election
case was taken up. After debate, the seat
was given to Delano, so to IS. He appeared
and took the oath.
Woodward offered a resolution that what
ever diversities of opinion prevail relative to
the Administration and powers of Buchanan,
the members of the House cordially unite in
honoring his pure character. his ability and
patriotism. and requesting the Speaker to
appoint committee to attend his funeral
and communicate copy of this resolution to
the relatives of the deceased.
Woodward refusing to modify his resolu-
ton by emitting the reference to his ability
and patriotism, on motion of Farnsworth the
resolution was tabled, - to 46.
Blain offered resolution that as a mark
of respect to one who had held such an emf
nent position, the Speaker appoint commit
tee of seven to attend the funeral services Of
Buchanan, which was adopted.

We HoPE that the report of Georg
Gorbar' appointment as Secretary o
the Senate is founded upon fact. In
deed it is needless to say that we d,
hope so for we have never hidden IN
der bushel our warm regard for Mr.
Gorham and our desire for his promo
ton to whatever position he may aspire
to. If he has been given that enviablt
position the Senate will soon find itself
favored with one Of the ablest of clerks
and most apt and capable of business
men, and associated with one of the
traest Republicans that ever attained to
prominence and popularity in the par
ty. We are inclined to credit the ru-
NOR as being true.
P. S.-Since the above was written
and put in type we have been informed
by the Trespass' dispatch that on
Thursday Mr.. Gorham was elected to
the Secretaryship of the Senate. This
is the most gratifying piece of news
that has reached US since the tidings
came that Grant was nominated. We
may be sure that there is many a glad
heart among L" the boys" who are his
never failing friends and whose best
and most faithful friend is George c.
Gorham. But, Gracious Goodness
won't the " Independent Press " howl
though? We congratulate the straight
backed Union press of California upon
this piece of good fortune-for such
every one of them will consider it. We
also congratulate Parks, Howell and
Mccarthy" and John P. Jones and
old Gid Nightingale, Filkins, Charley
Gorham and the other MarysviIlians
and Charley Kent of Nevada and Ned
Casey, Charley Westmoreland, Jack
Stratman, Doctor Cox, Frank Pixley,

I" Tell you :" This is glo-
rious and We are disposed to get warm
over the matter. We feel like getting
out the howitzer and repeating the

summer when he was nominated. Ii

CONSISTENT AND RIGHT.

We glory in the action of the House
of Representatives in repudiating Wood
wards resolution laudating Buchanan.
1t would have been just as appropriate,
had JEFF Davis died or been hung, to
pass resolution complimentary of his
virtues and patriotism. Should never
speak i'll of the dead" says our maudlin
neighbor who hesitates not to curse the
unpopular dead of the last generation.
We don't believe in exhuming mans
bones 10 spite his memory, and We
should conceive it to be in bad taste to
attend Buchanan's funeral and interrupt
the proceedings by a stump speech
against his course with regard to Kan
sas, or relating to the secession move
meut; but whenever his friends and
partizans attempt to bamboozle Repub
LEANS and other loyaiists into the utter
ance of praise of the man who had
Floyd and Jere Black for bis Constitu-
tional advisers, it is time to speak plainly
and act firmly as Congress has done.
We remember that when somebody in
;he United States Senate proposed to
introduce a resolution to provide fer
putting s bust Of fancy into the Su-
preme Court, Sumner objected, and that
then there went up a howl from the SEN
timental Democracy. Sumner thought
the GROWING act of Taney's life infa-
nous, and took this means of saying so;
and he was right. Every loyal man in
the Republic has been denouncing Buch-
snan with outspoken bitterness for the
past eight years. 1t would be pretty
piece Of business, now that he is dead,
to garland his memory with words of
praise. Let Buchanan be buried de-
Gently; and let him rest in peace ; but
don't faunt his name and character in
our faces and ask US to praise him.

| O'CoNNELL AND THE REPoRTERs.-Wen-
dell Phillips, in lecture on O'Connell, a.
| the New York Academy on Monday even
ing, gave currency to the following anec-
dotes respecting the great Irish orator and
his difficulty with the Times reporters
When he entered the House of Commons
in 1880, the London Times had always hated
him as Harriet Martineau and Mr.. Brou-
CHAM did-and you may read their scandal
in all their pages-the London Times Gov
cred him with ridicule, turned his speeches
inside out, made his sentences read wrong,
treated him as the Herald used to treat us
twenty wears ago. Laughter and applause.
Finally he stood up. Said he, Mr.. Speak
er, l have toiled twenty years to speak nnder
this roof. and after that twenty years work
and standing here, is it Englisg fair play, is
it the justice of Englisg gentlemen that l
should not be treated like the rest: Well,
the next dav the London Times came out
with card of thirteen reporters, saying that
since Mr. O'Connell disliked their reports
then never would notice him at all. Per-
haps you are aware that the gallery of the
House of Commons is not open TO the public,
and was not then. No one has a right to
sit there if any member chooses to observe
their presence. 1t is sufficient to say, " Nr.
Speaker, l see strangers and they are re-
moved. The next day, when O'Conneu rose
to speak, the thirteen reporters of the Times
arose, folded their arms, and placed their
pencils ostentatiously between their thumbs
and fingers, as an indication that they would
not write word. O'Connell got up and
said Sc Mr.. Speaker, 1 observe thirteen
strangers in the gallery" laughter and
they were removed, and that day no man
in the House had a line of his speech re-
ported. The next morning, for the first
time the London Times cried "quarter ;"
and said, "If Mr.. O'Connell will give up
the quarrel we will" Laughter and ap-
plause. Well he never met that treatment
again for ten years, but when he held his
monster netting in Ireland, $4,000 strong,
the Times again followed him with abuse
and ridicule, until at the last meeting which
he held, at which the Times reporter was
present and was afraid TO attend the meet
ing alone, he went to O'Connell at his
hotsl, who kindly gave him his breakfast
and took him to the meeting in his carriage.
He procured him table and every convent
ence, and then said: Are you ready Mr..
Reporter :" and the reporter answered that
he was. Mr.. O'Connell then turned around
and addressed the meeting in Irish. Laugh /
ter and applause.l

SUNNER's RESOLUTIONS declaring the
Court of Impeachment a mere political
incident of Senatorial functions meets
our views exactly. We all grow wise
in an er post taeto fashion, and such
wisdom suggests the idea that this reso-
luton would have been exceedingly
well timed before the Court of Impeach-
ment was convened for trial. How
ever, now is the proper time to settle
the character ofthe mpeachme INT Court;
for our future may develope need of
the declaration thus made. Moreover,
the said Resolutions are in strict justice
to the facts of the case as well as to
the Republican press and party at this
juncture, when hypocritical Democ-
racy and thin skinned Conservatism are
gnashing their teeth over the % outra-
geous attempts of the Radicals to inhu-
ence the action of the oath bound
members Of the Court" We want to
see honest political action, which is
dictated By the highest sense of pa
trlotism, formally declared to be the
loftiest motive las it isl that can influ-
ence public officer or private citizen.

From the Enterprise Of yesterday.

| WASHINGTON, June 3. - In the Senate
Sumner offered a resolution declaring the
constitutional responsibility of Senators fol
their votes on impeachment and reciting that
Whereas, the pretension has been put
| forth to the effect that the vote of Senator
on impeachment so far differs in character
from a vote on any other question that the
people have no right to cliticise it; and
Whereas, such pretension is calculated to
impair that freedom of judgment which be-
longs to the people on all the acts of their
representatives therefore, in order to re-
move all doubts on the question and to de-
clare the constitutional rights of the people
in cases of Impeachment, it is hereby
Resolved, That, when assuming that the
Senate is Court sitting as judicial power,
Senators cannot claim that their vote is ex-
empt from the judgment of the people.
The resolution instances Taney's bred
Scott decision and its condemnation by the
people, and asserts that the Senate can not
claim an exemption denied to the Supreme
Court, and declares that the Senate sitting
on an impeachment is not Court, but only
the Senate exercising specific function pro-
rlded for by the Constitution that proceed
ings in impeachment are not proceedings
according to law, but are purely political,
for political offense, to be tried by politi-
cal body, and ending in political judgment,
and that, therefore, the responsibilities of
Senators are the same as on other political
questions; and, finally, that the special oath
was not intended and does not operate to
change such character of the Senate, and,
Senators, before and after taking |
it, are equally accountable to the people for
their vote.
Chandler called up the bill to regulate the |
foreign and coastins trade of the northwest
ern coast. Several amendments were adopt
a and the bill passed.
The bill to extend the time for the compile
ion of the Southern Pacific Railroad in Cal
fornia passed.
