THE GEORGIA NIUDDLE.

The followers of Bullock in Georgia
have made desperate effort to prolong
their power and tenure of office. They
have got Ben. Butler and Cessna, of Penn
sylvania, and Lawrence, of Ohio, to
write letters giving the opinion that Con-
gress intended by the act passed at the
close of the late session, to postpone the
election provided in the Constitution of
the State to be held in November. Be-
sides this they have got a resolution
through the Georgia Senate postponing
the election. And now comes Mr.. Smith,
who offered this resolution, and says he
is now convinced he did wrong. In a
published card he says:
''Since the passage of the resolutions
by the Senate | have learned more fully,
from various and opposite sources, the
history of the passage of the late law of
Congress, and / am now convinced that
it was the intention of that body to au-
thorize, and as far as they could with pro-

November next, as provided for in our
State Constitution. Imay not prudently,
at present, disclose all the sources of my
information; but do declare that it is of
such character as to leave no reasonable
doubt that the intention of Congress was
to remit the government of Georgia to
the people thereof. Assured of this,
there is no good reason for interfering
with the regular course of our State gov
eminent in all its departments.
81 have wished, and still desire to avoid
all conflict with Federal authority. The
resolutions l offered were designed by me
to avoid the possibility of it by a brief
delay of an election until Congress should
Enthusiastically express its will. But the
words of the law in connection with the
history of its passage, so clearly manifest
to my mind now the intention to clothe
the people of Georgia with all the rights
of citizenship, as to leave those without
excuse who Withhold them.
Thoroughly convinced that my course
and vote on this subject were erroneous,

The reader may have noticed that the
State of Alabama does not figure in any
of those fearful tales of outrage and Ku.
Klux which ordinarily ascend from the
South about election time. 1t has not
been for want of effort that this is so,
says the New York World, it appearing
that quite pressure was brought to bear
on the Governor to make him discover as
many deeds of "rebel violence" as any
of his fellow reconstructed executives,
but in vain. With a certain blunt hon
esty that must have astounded his inter-
lOcutors, this Governor said that there
had only been some flfty-Odd deeds of
violence in the whole State during his
term of office of two years-less, per-
haps, than Boston could count in the
same period; and, with this fact before
him, he was quite unable to perceive the
nine thousand four hundred and ninety
nine several and distinct whippings,
burnings, brandings, throat-cuttings,
pistOllings, and so on, which were so
monstrOusly evident to others. So grave
a dereliction as this in Republican Gov
ernor was not to be borne, and, as one
protest, we find that the Hon. George L.
Spencer, ex-sutler in the Union camps,
but now a United States Senator from
Alabama, takes up his testimony in let
ter bearing date just prior to the late adj
journment of Congress. In this epistle
he declares that, whereas he did much to
elect Gov. Smith, that functiOnary has
''repaid me with the deep sin of ingrati-
tude." He has failed to see a sufficient
number of outrages to justify the cleo
ton, at the point of the bayonet, of a
Legislature which would give the sutling
Senator a second term; or, as the Senator
puts it, has been ''deaf to the cries of the
the wall Of the widow and
of the fatherless, victims of the MolOch of
bloodshed, deeds without a name, and
"shrieking upward from the sod }" To
heighten the atrocity of this conduct his
ExcelIency has "vaunted cheap rhetoric
al n0usedn', but, as anticipated, his ut
terances have been but brut,taa fulaen,
realizing practically the adage of vor ct
protcre0, nihjL" Also, Che turns like
the viper and bites himself, " and, finally,
"is endeayoring to prepare a ta6uLa

NORTH CAROLINA

The Richmond Dispatch copies the fol-
lowing extract from a letter written by a
prominent citizen of North Carolina to a
distinguished Virginian. The language
is forcible and the judgment just. 1t is
as striking for its pith and incisivencss as
it is for its propriety and truthfulness:
eve are in great distress here. So
Causeless usurpatiOn of power under
false pretences has no precedent. Our
Chief Justice has played a low, servile
part. Doubtless we may say that if he
allows the Governors comment on his
opinion to 80 unConradicted, he and
that functionary have conspired to de-
stroy the peoples liberties under the
pretended sanction of law. No man can
see the end. The election just at hand is
likely the exciting motive. Our Cover
nor Is one of the worst of men. During
his whole life he has been noted for in
sincerity, hypocrisy, and cowaTdice. Yet
he has the ear of the President, who lies
asleep on his bed of glory and listens in a
dream to the flattery of a knave ~
Notwithstanding this base attempt of
Gov. Holden to intimidate the people, he
has been most signally rebuked by that
very people. In the face of these efforts
at intimidation, which Grant aided, the
people have achieved a grand victory I'm
der the lead of the Democratic party.
The North Carolina papers say that large
numbers of Conservatives who have here
tofore acted with the Radicals, voted the
Democratic ticket to rebuke Grant for
sending troops in the State TO sustain
Holden in his infamous usurpation. The
result of the North Carolina election is
signal rebuke of Grant.

Democratic ranks" All of which jun
BILE means that this Governor has, like an
honest man, turned deaf ear to all So
hcitations that he would belle the State
and turn loose upon it a vagabond militia.
1t is not often we find anything COM
mendable in reconstruction, but, on the
facts, as now presented, VIM. II. Smith
is entitled to respect and appreciation for
at least one good act. Certainly, he has
no reason to fear comparison with
Senator Spencer, who, we hear, is so in
veterate "jobber" as to have Disguised
even the President.

CALLFoR "a STATE CON
MENTION. ~

To the Democratic and Conservative
voters of the state of Tennessee.
On the second Tuesday in November
next, the important elections for Members
of Congress, Governor of the State, and
Members of the Legislature will be held.
1t is deemed of the highest importance, in
order to secure the complete overthrow OF
the political party which has for several
years ruled and almost ruined us, that
there should be unity of action among the
Democratic and Conservative party of the
State in those elections.
The Executive Committee appointed by
the State Convention held in this city on
the 9Th day Of June, 1868, have, therefore
for the purpose of preserving harmony
our ranks and promoting unity of &C
ton in those elections resolved to call q
convention of the Democratic and Conserv-
alive party of the State to assemble at the
Capitol in this city on Tuesday the 18th Ct
September next at II a. M. for the pur-
pose of nominating candidate for Gov.
ernor, and taking such other steps as may
be necessary to secure the thorough or
ganization of the party. The several
counties in the State are, therefore
requested on or before the LIST Monday il
September to appoint delegates to thar
convention. GEO. ]. STUBBLEFIED,

The Atlanta Constitution learns that
amember of the Georgia House of Rep
resentatives, who favors the prolongation
of the term of the members of the Legis-
lature and the State officers, has said that
his faction would adopt the prolongation
resolutions in the House if they have to
spend one hundred thousand dollars. Of
course, he is a Radical.

In nearly all the elections held at the
North since the assumed ratification of
the fifteenth amendment, the Radicals
have lost more white votes than they
gained by the accession of the negroes.
1t is very nice for other people, but it
does not suit the Yankees at home.

The New York Express makes this
telling point: A trotting mare fell and
was injured the other day, and the event
is mentioned in every paper in the coun-
try, with comments expressive of great
sorrow for the horse. A woman and her
babe died of starvation in a neighboring
city about the same time, and scarcely a
line is afforded to her terrible fate.

THE New York World says: ''One
of the most remarkable events of the pO-
litical campaign now soon to open in full
vigor is an attempt to revive the old Wing
party. The effort to do this has not, as
yet, extended beyond an isolated point
or two in Tennessee and Mississippi, and
it is there thought that the move is sim
ply Radical device to keep the Con-
sentative elements from uniting in one
solid mass against the party. Of course,
this is the correct explanation, but our
