DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1874.
TOOMBS AT ATLANTA.
A RINGING SPEECH.
The Herald’s Report]
Yesterday evening a Urge and enthusi
astic crowd collected on the Parade
Grounds to hear a speech from Hon.
ltobt. Toombs. It beiug understood that
he would not speak except by special re
quest, citizens were appointed to
visit him at the Kimball House, and in
vite him to come out.
TOOMBS SPEECH.
Friends and Fellow Citizens:—I have
just received your invitation, and thunk
you for the compliment. I am always
ready to accept any invitation from the
people of Georgia. I saw something in
the papers of the New Orleans troubles,
and for my part I would raise my voice
aud bid them God speed. He then went
on to give a brief account of the causes
of the troubles, and said that the last
hair which broke the camel’s back was
the seizure of private arms by the gov
ernment. He thought that law and order
were good things, but when they were
dead, we must make manhood take its
place.
The people, he said, wanted him to
make a speech which would he a greeting
to the citizens of Louisiana, and he would
sny that he would help to s op any troops
that might pass through Atlanta. I am
an outlaw, they say, and I would not beg
for pardons. I have done all I could to
uphold right, and only wish that my re
cord with God was as good as it is with
my country. The people have submitted
too much, for every concession to tyranny
is a new privilege, and they ought to have
resisted all conservative movements. The
word conservative moans a thief. Brutus
says ho was no conservative, liut ho did
not want to be considered as favoring war.
He felt the same now as ho did when he
represented the State in Congress.
He then made some cutting remarks
Against the newspapers, saying that he did
not like them, but wanted to keep on the
good side of them. He thou s,x>ko at
longth on the bond question, and the im
port ince of a good State and municipal
government. He indulged in some south
ing personalities.
As regards the Civil Bights question, ho
said that it was the most ridipulous thing
he had ever heard. The negro would
never get any rights except what was
given him by the Southern white men.
He said that the candidates did uot seem
to remember that the Civil Bights hill
would pass Congress before any of them
got there—for they all proposed to go
against it. He touched largely on tho
Convention theory, aud thinks that it is
the only salvation of the people. The peo
ple, he said, were afraid to meet the issue,
tbiuking they would looso the Capital. He
favora compelling the railroads to study
the interest of the peop’e, but wantstbem
to have justice also. He whs severe on
the Legislators who had been in offl e
siuce the Bullock administration, but says
he RUppos s they will say he was drunk
when tlioy hoar of this speaking. Hillyer,
he said, he considered an honest man hut
did not approve of his bill. He then con
cluded with some severe criticisms on
certaiu candidates for the Legislature.
He predicted that many of them when
they got into offloe would go back on
their pledges.
Mr. Hillyer made an excellent speech,
which was received with great applause,
and vindicated him of many ctoarges
which have been asserted against him.
Wo rogret that our space will not allow us
to give it to the public to-day.
Judge Cowart was called on, but de
ft clined.
| Mr. Hoge was then called on, and said
that he would rather hear Toombs, drunk
or sober (laughter), aud his only object
was to expreBH his sympathy for the peo-
. pie of Louisiana, to whom he would seud
three loud long cheers.
* Loud calls for Waddell, Abrams and
Bard, after which the following resolu
tions were offered by Mr. Abrams :
Resolved, That the people of Atlanta,
while profoundly regretting the necessity
which has forced the people of Louisiana
to rise in revolution against the infamous
usurpations and robberies of Kellogg, feel
tho utmost sympathy with their struggling
brothers of L misiana, and extend to them
tho assurance that they have our heartiest
wishes for their complete succors.
Resolved, That the people of Atlanta,
firmly believiug that the cause of Ameri
can lihorty and of republican institutions
is that of i he patriots of Louisiana, here
by most energetically protest agaiust any
interference by the FoJtr.il Goveruiueut
with the people of Louisiana.
Resolved, That any attempt to coerce
the white people of Louisiana into a re-
turn to the infamous rule of Kellogg, and
into submission to tho government of an
usurper, must be regarded by Georgians
as a declaration of war against the eutire
white race of the South, aud should be re
sisted by every menus in our power.
Resolved, That Atlanta sends greeting
to Louisiana, and bids her stand firm in
her efforts to reassert the supremacy of
the white race, and in her heroic struggle
to regain her rights and liberties.
First Settlers of Upson County.—
The first settlers of this county were
Messrs. Shady Stillwell, William Jimerson,
William Sockwell and Zach Boothe, who
moved here iu 1821.
The latter two moved off with the In
dians to Arkansas after the treaty of the
"United States with the Indians, about
1824.
Mr. Stillwell has a son living in this
county at present, Mr. John Stillwell, who
is now eighty years old, enjoys splendid
health, aud is a Christian gentleman.
Mr. Jimerson died just before the war
broke out, at tho age of 8(>, and his wife
followed in May of last year, at about the
same age. Ho has a son, Mr. John Jim-
erson, living hero now, who is 64 years
old, is a healthy, active man,, having nev
er taken a dose of medicine in his life,
and hasn't a gray hair in his head. Being
11 years old when he moved here with
his father’s family from Kentucky, he re
members well when Upson was a dense
forest, with abundance of wolves, deor,
turkeys and other wild beasts roaming tbo
woods. He says tho lands when he first
same here was the richest he ever saw.—
■ Thomaston Herald.
In Bad Luck —The Houston Home
journal says "a letter from Matt Keen,
I colored, to a gentleman in this place, says
the emigrant agents told lies to get the
negroes to go to Arkansas, and take them
about and hire them to the highest bidders
like they used to do the ‘niggers’ in slave-
2 times. There is much sutfering yet iu
e overflowed district. Bill Duncan has
been driven off by his employer, Dr. Pe
ters. George Ormond is working out by
the day, and bis wife, Abram Thompson’s
widow, is cooking for Dr. Peters. This is
bad on an ex-member of the Georgia Leg
islature and a prominent politician. Work
won’t Agree with him.”
