The Result in Georgia.

AS in South Carolina, SO in Georgia. Negro
Radical supremacy has been established over the
white people of both States. The actual result
of .ae lato elections in Georgia has not been
officially announced; but enough is known to
make certain the fact the Democrats, although
they fought good fight, have not triumphod.
Rufus D. Bullock, the Negro Radical candidate
for Governor, is elected By small minority. The
Ncgro-Radicsl Constitution hos been ratified by
minority not far from ton thousand votes. Meade
telegraphs to Grant that il both branches of the
Legislature the Radicals are in the majority. 1t
Is useless to indulge in speculation concerning
the causes that produced this calamitous result
or to conjecture in what way it could have been
mado different. As in South Carolina, so in
Georgia. The die is cast. Tho fate of theso

The passage of the bill to admit Arkansas
10 representalion in Congress was the impor-
rant feature of Fridays session, and it was
rushed through under the previous question.
Il was admitted by. members on both sides
,hat they had never had an opportunity to
rea,l the constitution of Arkansas, but Ihad.
stevens did not seem to think that would
make any difference, and he declined to post.
none the bill to allow members to become
better informed. Mr.. Eldridse appealed to
the House not to perpetrate such an infamy
IS to force the bill through at this time. A
brief discussion then followed, when Mr..
Baker, an Illinois Radical member, took the
floor, and opposed the fundamental condition
in the bill which provided that the State of
Arkansas should never restrict its present
basis of suffrage. He claimed that Congress
bad no right to enact any such condition, but
the bill was passed BY nearly party Vote.
It now goes to the Senate for concurrence.
It seems to be the intention of the Radicals
to pass this bill and the South Carolina bill,
which is precisely similar, and admit the re-
pyessbtatiyes from thoseIStates, without wait.

The election has been ordered to comlaonce the
End day Of June next. Heretofore there have
been no general party divisions in the local cleo
tions in the State. But under the new order of
things that has bsen ;inaugurated, Loyal Secret
Leagues have been formed through our9state TO
concentrate the votesof allradicah TO carry out
extreme party measures, without reference to
merit or worth, and such an organization forces
upon all, who are not radicals, the necessity of
organizing to save our local Offices, so important
to the District, from falling into the hands of to
tally incompetent men. Our policy Of nomina-
tons has thus heen forced on u.s.. In. the practi
cal affairs Of our every day lferth local Dis
trict Offices are of the last importance to us. It
is therefore hoped that every person entitled to
vote, will}certsany turn out at the election and
do their duty fully. True we are oil poor now,
ont then every man nhU has any property what
ever, will feel Ii deeply If these District Offices
fall into the hands Of incompetent and bad dis
posed men,. es. lat. .a.g.-.4
The new Constitution, that has been proposed,
abolishes the Court of Chanesry, as administered
under separate Chancellors, and mesges Chanoery
jurisdiction in The Courts Of Common Pleas, and
the duties of both are henceforth, to be admins
tered by the same Judge. 1t will therefore be
perceived that there is but one person to act as
Clerk and Commissioner in Equity. We have
therefore nominated bat one for both these Offices.
So too instead of our old "Board of Commits
sions.s of Road" we are now to have but three
"Road Commissioners" and wes have located one
in each OF our Regiments. H..
AS this organization and nomination has been
forced on US by those who call themselves Radi-
Gals, it is hoped that every good and true man
will consider himself as voting not for men alone,
but for principles. Those who were for "0ld
Edgcfcld," as she WAS in prouder and better
days, are specially called on to stand by principle
and virtue, in Ills or dsy of trial and sadness.
We desire nothing but to promote tho welfare
of the District. We have no personal or indi-
vidual preferences to promote.
