TH r EATENENG TAIN WITH GRANT
SAM. BARD, in his NelG Era Of Friday,
threatens the Indifferent and lodging
Republican members Of the Georgia
Legislature with Gen. GRANT, unless
they walk up to the rack and to the fOd-
der prepared for them by Congress. He
save that be will wstch every man Of
them, and report to the President and to
Congress, every word they utter, and
every performance for or against the
Fifteenth Constitutional Amendment.
He says:
We shall see that President Grant and Con-
greS are advised OF the action here. The
President does not look 10 the Democracy 70
adopt the amendment, as a party; but he has
a right To expect mat Republicans will stand
by his administration, and be at their post and
vote TO adopt IT,
And again in the same article:
We shall watch the progress Of this mater,
and Will publish the diIe eat votes upOn IL,
ana viii also publish the names OF The Rspub-
Hcans who Go not vote, SO that the President
n Congress may see how those who profess
TO be friends OF the administration stand by IT,,
o rather, how their action compares with their
professions.
OF course after this the lsggards will
come Up TO the scratch, and BULLOCK,
the Governor, who is severely taken to
task in the same article, prove himself
"ss good IS wheat" 1t is bot what
GRANT is that these fellows in Georgia
are TO fear, but 10hat he may be.

Chairman Republican State Committee.

A SHARP RUsE.-Many remarkable sto-
ries are told of the fortunes accumulated
by blind beggars or those assuming blind
ness. The last is from Paris, and tells of
q pretender who has discovered new
method of picking pockets. He walks the
streets with the sad, upturned visage of a
blind man till he comes to crowded cross
ing, where he gives every token of being
afraid to cross. He appeals to the passen-
gers to take pity on him, and help him in
his difficulty. Some charitable creature
takes his arm and leads him across. He
is thanked by the poor blind man. He
goes on his way, feeling that he has done a
kind deed, and the next time he puts his
hand into his pocket for his watch, he finds
that it is gone.
