"SECTION 3. Be it further enacted. That tho General of the army be authorized to remove one or all officers nojv atiiing under the several provisional governments within tho said several disorganized States and appoint others to discharge tho duties pertaining to their respective cffices, and may do any and all acts, which by the said several laws above mentioned are authorized to bo done by the several commanders of tho military departments or remove any officer which may be detailed as herein provided is a "SECTION 4.

"SECTION 6. Be it further enacted,

That so much of all acts, and parts ofj acts as conflict or is inconsistent with the provisions of this act, is hereby repealed.

Gen. Kimball and I22s Tradiiccrs. The Madison Free Press, of this State has indulged in acolumn or two o( low abuse upon Gen. Nathan Kimball.— The "whole article of the Press was predicated, however, on an if. If the General said so and so, then tho editor of tho Press said so and so. Tho whole thing turns out to bo "u tempest in a tea-pot." Gen. Kimball never said so and so, and therefore the Madison gentleman docs not say his so and so. Our

Democratic friends are all rather afraid of any organization of 3oldiers, and particularly tho Grand Army of the .Republic, ovor which, in this State, Gen. Kimball presides. The attack of tho Press on the General we suspect, grows out of this fact. Gen. Kimball is a true soldier, and by the same rule, a true gentleman, und we presume will not set up of nights to annoy himself about any newspaper abuse. Wo don't think ho will walk very, far to go around the editor of the Free Press if ho is standing in his way, or that he will travel very far to como into any per sonal collision with him. The in tho whole affair is a very good thing and contains tho key to tho entire u\&ilQT.—Terre Ilaute Express.

Tho Indiana Democratic platform contains a tribute to the dead soldiers not of both armies as Johnson says but to "those who sacrificed their no bio lives in tho defenco.of our onco glorious Union that is, to put down tho Democratic doctrine of tho righ of secession and giving Jacobin Rad ical reason for holding their momor} ever sacred, that, "thoy sacrificed their noble lives that the present and future generations might enjoy tho ich inheritance of living under a form of government that secures an equality of rights and privileges to all tho citizens thereof." This full doso of Radical Jacobinism has now to be

bwoIlowed

THE JOURNAL.

THURSDAY, $ JAN. 16, l«68.

FOR PRESIDENT,

gejv. v. s. Cr'if.f.rT,: of Illinois. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, GJEJV. O O. liOWMRM*, of Maine. Subject to the decision of a National

Convention.

The Democratic Convention. On tho 8th of January this hitherto noted band of copperheads met at our Capital and adopted their platform for tho coming campaign of'68. They present to the voters of our State their men and their principles, and it is not only our right, but our duty, carcfuliy to oxamino both. Of oourso all of them aro now fervently in love with the Government, and anxious (since tho war) to do her scrvice. But will wo in so short a timo forget the kind of aid they gave our Government during its sorest need, or the love they manifested for the men who triumphed over treason? Are we so deaf to what they said of thoir Government during the rebellion, or the epithets thoy applied to tho soldiers—aro wo so blind to their acts of disloyalty, treason and assassination—are we so forgetful of tho aid, encouragomont and cheers they gavo to the South arc wo so regardloss of our own safety and self-protection, or are wo so recreant to our trust or to our flag as to vote for a man who said "that a Union victor}T gavo him no pleasure, nor a rebel victory no pains?" Or shall we cast our vote with a party which murdered our President, shot. enrolling officers, conspired to liberate rebel prisoners, encouraged desertion, plotted treason, advocated- secession, cheered for Jeff. Davis, scattered pestilei.ee, smallpox and infectious diseases in our cities—nay, committed every act that has a namo in the catalogue of crime? It requires no proof to fasten these chargcs on tho Democratic party every man who has a memory kr.oxrs thom to be true, and no man who hits a heart will over forgot them. And yet, with all theso facts staring them in tho face—w.-Ii treason—with their blood-red hands on which the "damned spot will never out," —with the wail of widows and orphans yet in their oars, they have ho effrontery to resolve in their convention "that they will ever hold in sacred memory the dead who sacrificed theirrlives in tho defence of our glorious Union." Wirz spoke of uis sacred honor and his name"' when on trial fOr the murder of our 6oldiors at

Andersonville so let tho Democratic party speak in a like spirit of their sacrcd memory'' of theso same soldiers whom they encouraged Wirz to murder.

They ask us to vote for them. Their record certainly holds out no inducements, nor do their promises even now have any very gi eat weight when wo reflect on tho bad faith they have hitherto manifested for their Government.

But let us turn to their men and their resolutions, and givo them at least a candid investigation. Ilcndricks for Governor 1 A man of ordinary ability, a second-rato lawyor and an inferior debater. Ho never votod a man nor a dollar to his Government during tho war, never visited a hospital, relieved a soldier, or saw a battlefield—ne^er spoko a woj'd in favor of his government or against treason cold, selfish, unhesitat ng, unrelenting as death and the grave. Ho made two hundred thousand dollars out of tho war and invested it in bonds, and now liko a sycophant is prating about the bondholders while his every eflort is in thoir interest. ,. 'iEfl'yorton, tho nominoo for Licntcriant Governor, is a faithful adherant of Vallandig'ham. What more could we say? What moro would wo wish to know? No man over followed Vallar.digham that followed tho causo of justico or of truth, nor can wo shield him under tho name of dupe, for Yallandigham was bold and outspoken in his villainy.

Kise was nominated for Secretary of State. Ho was formerly a soldier and a Republican-but now is a copperhead .When men expcct our voto the}' must chango from bad to good, not from good to bad.

Tho rest of the party only deserve tho remark that thoy go to make up tho lint of two full-grown copperheads

two conservatives and two soldiers.

The ticket

was mado to win votes, not jar°Q

But let us look at their resolutions, bearing in mind what they will dd, not-wbat they say thoy will do. It will bo difficult to find ono resolution that ilocs not savor either of hypooricy or immorality. Their first resolution declares their unmitigated hatred of tho Republican party, that party which fought four long years to save tho Government, but not one word against treason, traitors, or that party which used its ovory effort to destroj' it. From tho second to tho seventh resolution the}' devoto to finance. It surely eomes with a bad grace from a Democrat to speak of our enormous debt and how it must bo paid, when undoubtedly ho mado that debt a great .deal larger than it would have becti by refusing his aid to his Government during tho war, but giving it to the South. The question for an honest, thinking man is, are tho Democrats serious,, honest 'and in earnest in their protestations about tho great burdens we have to bear? Have thoy proposed any plan, if they get into power, that will relieve us of our national burden? Or is this not merely a hobby to get into power again Havo thoy turned suddenly so frugally inlove with their Government, whon so late as 18G1 they stole millions of money, arms and a navy from that same Government? Aro thoy honest and in earnest? No they simply want to get into power again—that is tho whole of it. That party which labored faithfully to save tho Government will bo moro likely to maintain her honor, pay her debts and manage her finance properly, than the party that tried to overwhelm our Government in one common and apalling ruin. Their resolutions simply amount to thjs, that the debt must bo paid according to contract, and what moro docs tho Republican party propose to. do?

The next set of resolutions aro on reconstruction. Hero they form an issue. They are in favor of Johnson's policy we are in favor of tho policy adopted by Congress. Tho whole of this issue is just this: Wo are in favor of admitting the Southern States on a loyal basis—thoy are in favor of admitting them without any qualifications at all, that tho rebols such as Breckenridgo, Davis Lee, and their kindred traitors, shall bo admitted to seats in Congress without ovon a decent inquiry into their former false, faithless, perjured characters. We simply demand that none but loyal men shall ever again sit our Legislative halls. All who aro in favor of loyal men ruling this Government and rebels taking back seats, will vote the Republican tickcti'

Tho finale of theso resolutions is in praise of tho soldiers. A few years ago they condemned the soldiers as Lincoln hirelings now they say thoy aro the bulwark bf the country. They had to come to it at last—had to bow to the soldiers. But will the soldier vote with their party—will he believe that party his friend Not when ho reflects on Cook. Ellsworth, Lincoln land Andersonville. Tho true soldiers and the patriotic portion of tho people jean never train in tho c-oppcrhcad 'ranks.

Who Prevents Reconstruction Tho copperhead and rebel party are continually "contending and charging! that tho reconstruction acts of Con-1 gross ostablish nogro supremacy in the South. Governor Browne, who was a leading rebel at tho beginning of tho war, but who now leads tho reconstruction party in Georgia, mado a Bpccch at Atlanta on the 9th of January, from which we quote tho following points "Tho Soulh committed agrcnt error in rejecting tho Constitutional Amendment. Sho will never get better tenns than tho onos contained in the reconstruction nets. The pcoplo of tho Jforth have boon told that tho acts of Congress establish negro supremacy and white subordination in tho South. The charge it false.

It icas (heficrverte obstinacy of the white ract in re

futing to lake control that gavo the negroes power in tlie convention. There is 15,000 white major

ity in Georgia. With this majority and tho boasted superiority of the race, in intellect, education, experienco and wealth, it is a libel on the white man to say that tho negroes can rule."

We commend this speech of Gov. Browne to tho carcful porusal of ail the copporhead tribe who are so much opposed to negro rulo in tho South. If the white people consent that the nogro shall rule, can either tho negro or tho Republican party bo justly blamed for negro supremacy

THE copperhead papers charge that tho suffering all over tho South is the result of radical rulo. It is not it is tho result of a refusal of tho Democratic party to abide bj* tho result of an election in which it was beaten. Had tho Dsmocratic party quietly submitted to Mr. Lincojn election and obeyed tho laws of the land, there would have been no war, and no Buffering at tho South. Theso things aro tho result, not of radical rulo, but of Democratic treason.

A correspondent of tho New York Tribune, who knows whereof ho speaks, makes tho startling revelation that the number of lives lost in the Angola disaster was nearly twico as stated, thirty-

further tbo interests of the Gov-! being sixty-eight instead of em men t.

Memphis Items.

A fiotorious thief named Burns was arrested in? Memphis yesterday, while in the act, of breaking into a store, and on bding taken to jail ho saw another prisoner named McCarty tying* asleep in his cell. Ho assaulted McCarty, who in his turn returned the compliment, and before tho guards could intorfore gouged Burns' eyes out.

The Sheriff attempted to arrest an old man named Duncan on Thursday last. Duncan drew a pistol and shot off tho Sheriff's thumb. Tho Sheriffs son coming up, fired a pistol and killed Duncan, -whose son coming up at that moment fired at and killed tho Sheriff's son. The Sheriff, seeing his son slain, instantly drow a pistol and shot young Duncan. There is great excitement in consequence.

THE Democratic organs "say our enormous puplic debt is tho result of radical rulo. This is true it cost the Government a-public debt of billions of dollars to rule tho Democratic party after it was defeated at the polls. It appealed from tho ballot-box to the sword, and henco the debt.. .Who says tho nation did wrong in ruling tho party, although it had to do it by the sword?

The Democratic party, during tho war, encouraged by every means in their power the warfare on Union soldiers, both in front and roar, donominating them, whenever it dared to do so, as Lincoln hirolings, &c. But in the Convention on the 8th of January, the party took off its hat, made an obsequious bow to the gallant "boys in blue," as though they had always been the best of friends. What is it a copperhead will not do to get votes?

General Meado has removed Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, the Governor having refused to comply with a request made by tho General that ho should sign warrants for paying from the State Treasury tho members of the convention. The Stato Troasuror has also been removed. General ThomaB H. Ruger has been appointed Provisional Governor, and Captain C. F./ Rockwell Provisional Governor. This action was taken by General Meade after consultation with General Grant.

Tho Gen oral, it will be observed, is determined to enforce tho laws, and aid tho work of reconstruction by every lawful means, instead of throwing obstacles in its way, as Andrew Johnson and his lick-spittles havo boon doing.

A mob broke up a Republican mooting at Marshall, Texas, on the 31at of Decembor. Several shots were fired at Judgo Collwell, tho speaker. The man who fired was arrested, but was turned over to the civil (Rebel) authorities for trial by order of General Hancock.

Captain Lawrence, who has been for some months past a prisoner in the O'Connell Jail, in Ireland, charged with being a Fenian, has arrived in SpringfiOld, Massechusotts, having cf footed his escape.

A Fossil Man—A RcBnarfcablc Discovery. While somo workmen were rccontly making somo excavations in tho neighborhood of Corydpn, Harrison county, they came upon tho petrified body of a man, perfect in all its proportions. Tho arms, Stark and stiff, were folded upon tho breast, and were as firm as the solid stone. It has created a great deal of excitement in that part of the country, and hundreds are flocking to seo the wonderful natural curiosity. Tho body is very large, and hears unmistakablo indications of having be longed to ono of the oarly races which inhabited this continent. Ho was perhaps a mound builder, and lived and loved and roamed tho forests before tho Miami# or tho Iroquois had mado thom their happy hunting grounds.— Nett? Albany Commercial.

In tho published proceedings of Congress, on Monday last, is a paragraph stating that tho Speaker laid before tho House of Representatives a petition from the colored pooplo of Kentucky, complaining of unjust tax ation by tho Stato authorities. ''In that delcctablo Stato negroos pay a general poil tax for county purposes, precisely equal to that imposed upon white men and a special poll tax of two dollars, from which white tax payers aro exempt. It is rodiculous enough in all conscionco for disfranchised men to bo subjected- to a poll tax at all, but to assess thom with a doublo poll tax is tho nemo of insult and tyrany.

'"Tho Sullivan Democrat says a party of thoughtless boys rccontly visited tho house of a .Mr. Curtis, -about ten miles west of Sullivan, and discharged pistols and guns by tho window near which Mr. C. and his wifo wore sleeping. Mrs. Curtis was not entirely arouBed when tho firing commenced, ahd fri^htoiled into spasms, which followed each other in rapid succession until the tifexfc day, when" sho died. Sho was hoiirly anticipating.^cOftfi.noment.

SINGER SEWING MACHINES, New York State Fair.

The Stato Fair just closed (at Buffalo).was iia unexampled success in nearly every department. The interest which usually centers upon sewing machines was not wnnting. It was iiit^cpified,. doubtless, by the angry (and not jiltogotiir:- reputable) dispute which has arisen over the "medals" said to have been awarded at the Paris K*-' position. But theso medals counted for notbinjj here, for the judges insisted npon a- thorougn examination for themselves of the several machines in competition, and the result was a unanimous report awarding the highest prize to the exhibitors of the "Singer" for th-o best family sowing machine also for tho best manufacturing machine, an also for tho baat bat'.on-hole machine. A clean sweep and a righteous judgement say those who are best informed. It was suggested by many who saw the magni'lcent display made of theso machines, and the variety and admlrabl* quality of tho work they performed, that tho manufacturers wero remiss in not sending thom to tho Paris Exposition, an-d thus have obviatod the bitter controversy being carried on over the gold medal. But the Singer Manufacturing Company, whoso sales of machines for tho past year havo exceeded forty-three thousand (somo thousands mire than any other-company in tho world) oarc moro for tbo' 'people,8 vordiet," wo apprehend, than for all the, gold medals thai were or could harp been awardod at Paris. The Exhibition at Buffalo, to which we have alluded, was niade by the enterprising agents of tfio Singer machines in Ufica.— Utica Daily Herald,, Oct. 9.
