Platform Union Republican Party,
Adopted at Atlanta July 4th.

Whereas, we, hnmbly acknowledging our
dependence ON an ovcrruling Providence, who
shapes the dcstinies Of men and nations, thank
Almighty God for having, hrongh agencies and
instrumcntalltics in His wisdom selected, pre-
served our Government when its deepest founda-
tions were being shaken by the mighty upheav-
ings Of the recent rebellion.
And whereas, the loyal men of Georgia desire
the earliest practicable settlement Of the dis
turbed condition of the country and whereas,
We believe that the establishment Of justice il
essential to enduring peace, that patriotism
should be exalted as virtue, andsthat il is the
dNtK Of the State to cherish all its people; and
Emfcas, those who assert theseprinciples
called Republicans, throughout the Union.
Therefore.
RESOLVED, LIST. That we adopt the name of the
Union Republican party of Georgia. and declare
ourselves in alliance with the National Republi-
can party Of the Union, and for the uncon-
ditional support of the Union ofthese States
ReSoJUed, I'd. That we pledge our hcartysup-
port to the reconstruction measures OF the Con
gress Of the United States
RcSolced, 3D.. That it is the duty Of the State
to educate all her children, and to that end,
we recommend the establishment of general
system Of free schools.
Res0Loed, 4. That the Union Republican
Party is.indentifed in IFS history and by its
essential principles with the rights, the in
terests and the dignity oflab0r, and is in
sympathy with the t0ilng masses of society;
and that the working men Of Georgia will rc-
ceiye at its hands every encouragement and
assistance that may be necessary TO protect
their full rights; and that in the maintenance
of Tie pQsition taken and the principles we
haF liis% day avowed, we cordially invite
Thee Operation fall citizens, withoutregard
to their political antecedents.
Heso9oed, g. That the Union Republican
Party Of the State Of Georgia pledges itself to
the free and legal rights Of all mcn
and we will abide by the prescribed terms Of |
in clccting to Office those men |
only who can comply, in al respects, with |
the requirements Of the Acts Of Congress, and |
who prefer the Government Of the United |
States to any other that could be framed.

REPUBLLCANiSM.

The New York Tribune says that the
Republican victory in the election of Gen
Beatty to Congress from the Eighth Con
gressional District of Ohio, by majority
eight times greater than that by which
the district was carried last fail, indicates
that the people, of Ohio, and of the country
generally, are rapidly getting over what
ever distrust they may have felt IN the
wisdom of the CongressionaI policy Of rel
construction During The campaign Of last
fall the rcactiouists and repuliators charged
our lines with great persistence and yigor,
and carried hcre and there an exposed
point. They did not succeed, however, in
driving US from any important position,
either Of power or Of principle, and in the
great Presidential campaign which is now
approaching, they will find us well en-
trenched, our whole army in hand, all our
reinforccments available, and our victory
virtually Organized and secured before the
contest is begun. The moment the actual
reconstruction of the Southern States begins
to be coHsummatCd, as it now soon will be,
by the admission of the representatives of
certain Of those States to Congress, the re-
construction question will be visibly solved,
and the very occupation of the Democratic
party will be gone. The financial vagaries
of the Pendleton school OF destructionists
are short-lived Their absurdity has been so
repeatedly demonstrated that they hardly
form basis for platform sufficiently re-
spectacle to be beaten upon, still less for
success.
Every indication confirms our prediction
made last Fall, that the so-called "rcaction"
would spend its force in a single effort, and
that the absurd hope that the people of this
country would surrender their destinies into
the hands of traitors aud repudiators, was
doomed to be happily and sgnally disap-
pointed. Let New Hampshire echo the re-
sponse of Ohio.

THE WRONG WAY.

THE WRONG WAY.
The Constitutional Convention OF Geor-
gia has just
"Res0Lvcd, That the Congress of the
United States be respectfully petitioned to
appropriate thirt, millions of United States
currency, to be loaned under proper regu
agricultural interests of needy Southern
planters
We respectfully advise the aforesaid
Convention that Congress will DO no such
thing, and we add an avoWal of our con
viction that therein Congress will DO just
right and especially what is best for the
South. The chief misfortune OF that sec
ton is that too many of her people are to :
day looking for relief from something
else than their own faithful labor. There
are thousands on thousands of whites col
lectcd day by day in the various grog shops
cursing the .Nlaziness of the negroes as
running the South, when it is their OaC1t
laziness that equally damages the South
and themselves Then there are thousands
of blacks who are waiting for land, OF
mules, or tools, or something else, to be
given or allotted them, which they will
never get except by solid, hard work. Let
them all understand this and just go Il
cork as they best may, and the South will
soon be all right. Waiting for reconstruc-
! ton, or for help of some kind, reminds u;
/ of the Irlshman who grumblingly wonder
ed why Father Mathew did not hurry alons
and give him the pledge before he dranE
himself to death.

WASHINGTON, February 8.-The Recon-
struction Committee had a stormy session
to day, but did nothing pointed. Peck, Of
Kentucky, was added to the sub COM
mittee on the Presidents alleged violation
of the law. ip forbidding Gen. Grant to
obey Stanton. Grant will be the first wit
ness. This mornings Express says The
feeling among the majority of the com
mittee is undoubtedly IN favor of impeaeh-
ment, and there s reason to believe that
resolution to this effect will shortly be
reported to the House. Before adjourning
to-day, the committee agreed to report
bill to remove the political disqualification
imposed hy the Reconstruction acts on
Governor Holden, of North Carolina
Gov. Orr, Of South Carolina, and General
Longstrect, Of the late Confederate army.
1t is reported that Mr.. Brooks moved to
add the name of Gen. Beauregard, but the
committee refused to include him. Among
those summoned are Gen. Grant, mem.
bers of the Cabinet, including Stanton
j. B. Stillson. of the New York World,
and two members Of Gen. Grants staff.
Grant failed to appear this afternoon, and
the committee examined Mr.. StilIson
Mr. $. w. McKain, for fifty years Dis

REORGANIzING THE TREASURY DEPART
MENT.
A systematic effort is being made to
Lreorganize the Treasury Department to
kecure greater efficiency. The Depart.
ihent was organized, as it now exists, in
1853. In 1860 the aggregate receipts and
Expenditures Of the Government were
S1542l4,l ,l36, and 412 clerks only were
employed. On June 30, 1867, the receipts
and expenses of the Government amounted
to 1924, 140,575 (nearly fifteen times
larger than in 1860 and only 2,2I3 clerks
were employed The facts show on an
average clerk of to-day does three times
as much work as clerk did in 1860 1t
is estimated that 100000 per annum will
be saved under the new plan.
sCoTcHED, But NOT KILLED.
The old rebel element crops out here oc-
casionally so as TO attract attention.. Even

to manifest i'll breeding. Only Yesterday an
aged and blind colored man, led by little

said, SO and see Sumner" (meaning, doubt
less, Senator Sumner), and passed on. She
will doubtless, at some time or other, find a |
hotter place than Washington.
