had the right to do then he has still the
right to do. If he meant to disobey or dis
regard the law then, and act upon his con-
stitutional prerogatives, he may still do so.
Has his courage oozed out since the de-
parture OF General Grant, or is he unwill-
ing to tempt alone the dangers of that
thorney path he wanted Grant to tread !?
Does not the letter itself disclose pur-
pose, so reckless of the law, and so against
the morale of good government, as to con-
stitute high misdemeanor in office?
To this, we think no more eloquent and
fitting response could have been given by
brave soldier and an honest man than the
following from General Grant:
"The course you would have it under
stood | agreed to pursue was in violation of
law and without orders from you; while the
course | did pursue, and which | never
doubted you fully understood, was in ac-
cordance with law, and not in disobedience
to any orders of any superior And now,
Mr.. President, when my honor as a soldier,
and integrity as mau, have been SO vio-
lently assailed, pardon ME for saying that l
can but regard this whole matter, from
beginning to end, as an attempt to involve
me in the resistance of law, for which you
hesitated to assume the responsibility in
orders, a. lhps to destroy my character
- ahtry. | am in measure
8 sssa III Dis conclusion by your recent
sF - me to disobey orders from

pate, WstiI6et having couutere
Ithority an to disobey.
re is distinct Indictment of the Presi-
for wishing to induce his subordinate
DurSue course in UioEdtioa Of latC. Sc
We charge from such man ought not
ID pass without investigation by the repre-
sentatives OF the people, The proper resent-
ment of the General against an assault upon
his 'honor as s6ldier and integrity as a
man." is again coupled with the declaration
that the President attempted ITO incolre
him in the resistance Of taW, for echich you
hesitate to assume the responsib1ityh orders,
and thus to destroy Dy character before he
country.'
Here is charge distinctly made by a
thoughtful and honest man, first in the
hearts of his countrymen to-day, against the
reckless disturber OF the country's peace in
the White House. We take it for granted
that it will not be permitted to stop here by
those having proper authority but, III any
event, the people will settle the question
rghtfully, and in favor of the hero who CON
quered the rebellion.

HALL GA. CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, !
Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 81, 1868.
70 the Public:
Several Of the newspapers in the State,
editorially and through their correspond
ents from Atlanta, having referred to the
unfortunate encounter between Captain
Timoney and Major Richardson, in such
i manner as to give it a political signif-
canoe, and for the purpose of making it
appear that the dispute was the result of
their respective preferences for Guber
natorial nomination, desire, in this public
manner to say, that upon the article in the
.Opisi0n being brought to my notice, was
assured by Major Richardson, are.sby other
gentlemen who were pr"Helt at the meet
-aass~xafsxSea "a tlc--said- -artiala--th
charged and q, @tnerefore, dropped the
subject, as olc altogether personal Between
the writer and the Major nor did advise
or recommend any 9c,ion to be taken by
Major r. nor was ] informed as to what
action he proposed to take, or had taken,
until informed on Monday evening that
Major r. had been shot by Capt Timoney.
1t Will, therefore be seen that the meet
ing between the parties S the result Of
personal feeling upon question of verac-
ity exclusively, and has no political sig
nifcancc.
While it was to be expected that the
opponents Of rcconstruction] would be
greatly gratiied at any wantt of harmony
among the friends of that policy, | am
sure that no one can regret it more sim
cerely than Col. FarroW and myself.

4 szEf 11ELLEF MEASURE.
Wa are glakl that this vexatious and
tson blesosnd question has at last been put
u fest II Elie enFention The measure
adoptsas sieueA perhaps It may prove un-
satisfacteIS IL some respects, is yet the best
that could De adopted under the circum-
stances. Almost every delegate had plan
of#his own, and the proposition of Col.
Bullock was compromise, which, while it
did not satisfy extremists, commanded the
support OF the moderate men. Some relief
was demanded by the people, and they
looked to this Convention, representing
their interests, for it. The present measure
was adopted as one which, while satisfy
ing the demands Of the people, did as little
injustice as possible between debtor and
creditor.
Had the demands of extreme relief men
been listened to, every debt existing or
created before or during the war would
have been blotted out at once Some were
in favor Of gepudiating all debts, even to
the present time But the exception made
in Col. Bullock's plan of all fiduciary
debts, and Of such as were contracted for
property, still existing in the hands of the
purchaser, were so manifestly proper and
Just, that even the extreme men felt com
PEELED to foreGo their opposition.
If the plan adopted passes the ordeal of
ratification BY the people, there is nothing
to be feared from the courts Aside from
the inherent difficulty of bringing the
question before the Courts, closed against
it by the Constitution itself, if rati-
fed, until reopened by the Legislature,
such questions are very reluctantly en-
tertained and tardily decided by the
Courts-as we have an example in the
Stay Law, only lately declared uncon-
stitutional. 1t is to be hoped, therefore,
that if it be declared imperative by the
Courts, as it is not likely to be, still so
much time may be gained that the people |
may be able to extricatc themselves in a |
great measure from their present pecuniary
troubles

AT last this worthless and brawling negro
has been expelled from his seat in the Con-
ventlon. During the whole sitting of that
body his conduct has rendered him OBJ
noxious to both white and black members.
Always full of babbling and loud-mouthed
etfrontery, he was o nuisance and a dead
weight upon the Convention. The recent
charges preferred against him would un-
doubtedly have resulted in his expulsion
but we are glad to say that the end was
accom- plished without further waiting.
AS will be seen from the proceedings on
yesterday, he so grossly insuted members
upon the floor that Mr.. Cotting moved his
immediate expulsion, and the motion was
sustained by unanimous vote-the coored
delegates as well as the whites, to man.

Ex-Goy. JENKINS AND GEN MEAnr
The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Times says: ''The action Of the
Senate authorizing the War Department to
employ counsel to defend Gems. Grant
Meade, and Ruger, in threatened suits
was occasioned BY the fact that Gov
jenkins, of Georgia, has taken steps to
bring action against them for alleged
assumption of power in appropriating the
pubic funds of that State for the benefit
Of the Reconstruction Convention. II
should be understood that Gov. Jenkins
eluded arrest by Gen. Meade by fight. as
that officer had made preparations to
arrest him for impeding reconstruction
ana embezzlement This latter cbarco
was based on the fact that jenkins trans.
erred the funds in the State Treasury 20

hem to be deposited there to the credit
