That company have not lift- | ed a finger in bebalf of Mr. Emery, and have no | motive to do so, for they know that in Mr. Ewery they will find a much more determined and formidable adversary than Mr. Bowen bas Proved himself to be. Mr. Emery will as @ matterof principic, and in defence of the rights of the city, keep a watchful eye upon the operations of the great monopoly in this dire¢tion, and our interests are safe in his hands. Bat Mr. Bowen in his squabbles with that company has been actuated only by interested motiv: te drive them out to the vicinity pripsy ee dlale of ground; and he bas managed to so mix the case up with his own ends, and has so crippled it by the pettifogging and biundering of Cook's management of iton the part of the city, that the courts have decided against him. ‘To show the utter imbecility of the Corpora- tion Attorney's management of this case it isonly necessary to state that his “brief,” which con- sisted of 38 pages, and which was really longer than the record, was made up largely of “high falution” qnotations from Lord Byron! When Emery is elected we may hope to bave a Corporation Attorney who understands law and who has @ respectable stsnding in court—not a pettifogging ward politician like Cook, who is sure to break down every Corpor- ation case he appears in. ———__-+ee- A correspondent calls our attention to the attempt of the Bowen ring to prevent any of their followers from attending the Emery rati- fication meeting to-morrow night by announc- ing “Grand Mass Meetings” to take place for all the wards of the city on that night. This is all right. Let them keep every individual of their meagre crowd of bread and butter men away. The City Hall square will be hardly big enough to accommodate the Emery army, any- | how. The bread-and-butter men will never be missed. Ancther correspondent states that the Bowen gang mean to try violent means to prevent voters (rom attending the Emery meeting. Let them try that. too. We can assure the ring gentlemen that their chances of getting accom. modations in the District jail are first-class if They play any pranks of thissort. The Vigilance Committee of Reform Kepublicans is tolerably large and wide awake, and will not tolerate any infringement upon their rights by the ruffian gang of City Hall strikers. Tt is a brazen piece of impudence for the Bowen men to charge Know Nothingism upon |. the candidate of the Reform Republicans, when Wm. A. Cook, the mouth-piece of Mayor Bo is a Pennsylvania Know Nothing of the malig- nant church-burning stripe that carried politics anto religion. The shabby, contemptuous treat- ment experienced by our foreign-born citizens at the City Hall, and which has caused them to joimthe Keform movement almost to a man, has undoubtedly been instigated by this man Cook, who though now professing to have ab- jured Know Nethingism, shows yet the old leaven of hatred to Catholics, Israelites, and citizens of foreign birth. os The Republicans ef Richmond have nomina- ted George Chahoon for Mayor and Hon. L. H. Chandler for Commonwealth's Attorney. The election on Thursday is likely to be an exciting one. | +s0-- In the General Synod of the Keformed Pres- byterian Church, at Cincinnati, the subject of a union with the United Presbyterian Church has been made the special order for this afternoon. — see From J.C.

But as the remark isevident- ly intended toapply to the Republicans of that Stata and to myself, as the bead of the State goverament, 1 shall refer to a few historical facts for the purpose of establiahing the irjustice, to use the mildest form of expression, which is done by the Senator to the Republicans of our State and to myself by bis re- mark. ‘On the 4th day of July, 1867, convention met in Atlanta to organize a Republican party in our State, in opposition to that kind of Republicaniam which claimed Andrew Johnson as its chief. That conven- tion resolved to sustain the reoonstraction acts of | Congress, and to endeavor to establish a government | for the State ander and by-virtue of those acts. It) ‘wasa cmall beginning, and the men who pertici-. pated in that organization were surrounded by all themalignity of rebel hate, inflamed and embittered) by the tudorsement of the convention in favor of the «nfranchisement of the colored men so lately thetr| slaves. Aud the little band who thus bravely mot/ were threatened on ail sides, and their lives were by | ko means secure. i In November of the same year an election was had to decide by @ vote whether s convention under the | reeonstrnetion acts should bg called, and at thesame time for the election of delegates to the canvention should its call be ratified. In this election. the Be- | biicans of the State werp successful. The con. | ‘Yention was called, and during the winter of 1387-3 | a constitution was framed, in which there was no | sign of proscription, no test eaths, no disfranchise- ment. Allmen of sound mind, who have uot bern | convicted of felony, and who are twenty-one years of age and residents of the Btate, are nader it eatitied || to vote and tohold office. In April, 1563, the constitution was submitted toa | vote of the people, amd at the same time, under an ordinance of the convention,an election was held for the cflicers provided for m the new constitution—a Governor and members of the General Assembly— who, by virtue of the ordimance, were declared to be provisional officers, and who, if authorized by the commander of the district, were to enter upon the discharge of their duties aa such, and were to continue provisional until the State was restored to the Union, whemthey would enter npoa their terms of office as prescribed in the constitution. ‘Phis cam paigh resulted in the ratificatton of the constication, aud in the eleetion of myself anda General Assom- bly, whore members, as elected, were very evenly divided between the K+pubiican party, the party favoring the reconstruction aets, and the Democratic party, the party opposing thuse acts. Under and by virtue of the act of June 25, 1553, the General Assembly cfmvened on the 4th of Jaly of the samme year. Atmong those e'ected by the party there were at least thirty who were prohibited by the act of June 25, and by Previows dcte,from holding office, they being disyualitiua by the dd ection of the fourteenth amendment. This fact was earnestly pressed upom the attention of the pg general by myself, as will be shown by ablished report of the military commanders and Judiciary Committee Of the Senate. Notwith- standing this presentation of facts, however, the commanding general deemed it wise ty make no ob n to those members retain their seats. and the Legislature thus organized in violation of law, having gone through the form of adopting the eon. | time, it eeemed tome that the resolution requiring | ons then required in the reeonstruction acts, ths State, by military order, was remanded to the civil government thus established, In September of the same year this legislative or ganization excluded from thetr seats some twenty eight of its members who were of African descent At this point the eontest originating from the enfranchicement of the colored men was renewed with all its bitternes#. Whie the question of this expulsion was being considered by the Lezeslature, I, fo an official communication, impressed upon them, in the strongest terms which was capable of using, the great wrong which was gbout t» be per- petrated, and, of course, thereby stimulated a re- newal of our political animosities.

Now. geptlemen, permit me to invite your atten- thom to what in fact has the appearance of being an attempt to use “improper means to influence the votes of Senators” in an apposite direction Ou Monday afternoon, the 18th of April Ist, the evening of the next day having been fixed by agr ment to take the vote in the Senate on the Qourgia bill, Senator Edmunds stated in the Senate that he had been fnformed that an effort had beon made to influence the votes of Senators on the Georgta bill by corrupt means; and offered a resolution, which was adopted, instructing the Judiciary Committee, of which he fs a member, to investigate the charges As it was obvious that the investigation could not be made and concluded, and the result annonaced before the vote was to be taken the next day, aud as the rumors to which he referred hal been in clroula tion in Washington for more than a week befure that an investization should have been offered day earlier, or should have been deferred ant Ube voto was taken; and that its introduction at that time did influcnes the vote on the Georgia bill ‘The most atrocious lies and insinuations had Hoon . telegraphed from Washington to ditferent parts of the country, ard circhiated among m: mbers of both Houses, to the effect that I had attempted to inflacuce the votes of Senators by offers of Georgia bonds or s money, and every possible means had been employed tocreate prejudice against myself and the Republi- can party of Georgia who were asking for the admis sion of the State without the Bingham amendment. ‘These infamous fies lave a common origin, aud have been ¢ofned and pat futo circulation by men were made to me by frightened and discouraged Re- publicans to acquiesce in this outrage, and offers of high political preferment and advancement were indirectly tendered to me by the opposite party to effect the same object, accompanied by threats of the vengeance that would be visi.ed upon me if I did not accept their terms. Upon this state of facts I submit to th honorable Senator from Connecticut, and to the Repablicans of Congress who have sustained the reconstruction policy, as to whether “high patriotism” aud the “welfare of the nation,” or my “own pecuuiary ad- vancement,”’ were the mdving can-es im this political Notwithstanding my protests and appeals, how- ever, the Legislatare persisted in maintaining the expulsion of the colored members.

For two years in Georgia I have beou pursued by threats of personal violence and assassination, and during that period my friends hare believed that my life wes in danger.
