Forelgu advor* M f ADDRESS We. the Executive Committee of the SK Democratic uud Cotiuetvative party of St Ru8*ell county, desire to present for your '".Wk consideration some of the important is- 23 sues involved in the present canvass. I’ We t-iko it for granted that every rea- , A souahlc and honest man, white and flack, ; .'> ; t desires a ehunye in the admiuistrati* n of H^our government affairs in the State and some of our county ottioes, and is will ing to secure it in oue, if it cannot he had nin both instances. Ho who will not suv • part of liis goods W’hen his house is atire localise he cannot have all is not more ini- ^jreasonable than he who refuses to vote to elect the State ticket because he thinks V/e cannot elect both. If you are doubt ful that we can get both now, why lot us make sure of one ; the other will follow . Boon. But wo are hopeful of both, and tc: - believe, that with combined action w o cab : Y|-«ecure them iu thin election. To this oud you are requested to or- ‘ ' gtiuiza clubs at all prcoticnblo points in . - ihe enuuty. Ami that the organization ■ may l>o perfect, let every man coiue for ward ami join them. No man ahould fail to do this, hupposing it will all lie right it ho only votes right at the election, with- gbut taking the troublo to join and atteud the meeting* of the club. We assure you . ■-,* it will do much good. It iH now hut a tew weeks to the election, it will consume but little of your time ; therefore we uigo -jf you to turn out to your club and beat ■ML meetings. It will encourage the faltering and convince them of oar strength and W determination, ami strike dismay into the ft. hearts of our opponents. If you reap no lli other reward, you will have the proud ^■sconsciousness that you performed jour duty in doing all you could to save your distressed people. Jtj North Alabama, the part of the State hardest to arouse iu any of the recent ^cunpuigns, is now stirred and moving .j£»with great enthusiasm for our State tick- v et; upon which all nun can centre, SBWhigs, Democrats, Unionists and Seees- /•BiouiHtH, beoauso it embraces the lupre- ' sentativc tulent, integrity and statesman- v .; ship of our great Stute. The old issues iipthut divided us, now being dead, we are •* united as right against wrong. It was in that section that the largest number of whito men have failed to vote siuoe the days of reconstruction. They have sub mitted to misrule and degradation in every shape, iu the hope our enemies would become satiate and relent, llut they have awakened to the fact, that this very submission has encouraged thorn to threaten us with the Civilltighls bill, ami virtual confiscation of lands by excorttivo taxation. Iteally our people have paid tho taxes while our enemies li&vo insisted 1 on doing the voting ; uud the liadicnlv now insist this stute of injustice shall be .continued. Yon are reminded that the white of Alabama largely outnumber the blacks uud it has been possible to beat them iu every election in the past. According to S I the 0. 8. census return of 1870, tho whites numbered 530,000, while the bla.'ks numbered 470,000, showing that ihe whites at that time were GO,000 in the majority. Since that time, four years have elapsed iu which time the whites have largely increased, by thousands of them comiiig into the State, while as many thousands of negroes have gone out of it towards tho West. Whole cities aud town» have been built in the State whito settlers since 1870. t be largely increased iu bites. The number of , ^whites heretofore voting with the Radi cals in the Sta'e m more than trebled by the lumber of colored men voting with our •arty. It is estimated, that the horrors if the Civil Rights bill have driven into •nr ranks more than hulf of these whites, irhilo our party has lost none of its lolored supporters, but is gaining them laily in largo numbers. Those things entitle our party to a large majority iu Ihe Stale. The Radical party of Alabama is not sanguine <4 success. Besides these dis- - couragemenU, they uro aflbetod with dis- - r ’cord and disagreements among them selves, us is evidenced by the resolutions adopted recently as tlieir platform. The „ sections disagree about their principles, and it is impossible to reconcile the one without offending the other. They are threatening to go asunder, and when they no power can reunite them ; they will k to rise no more as a party iu this This is the tirat opportunity we ve had to gaiu at one election every fie- rtment of tho State Government—tho .ecutivo, the Legislative, and the Judi Radicalism cannot exist out of So that if wo gain this election, tdicalism will be no more forever. ien, like Goorgiu, North Carolina, Texas ' Tennessee, wo shall arise from es and ouco more enjoy liberty, free- i and independence. 'he Radical party in the county bus its strength. The negroes, tampered i, betrayed and disappointed by their :hless whito leaders, at last have be come disgusted, uud many are leaving it. fiomo of them are joining our party, while a largo number desire to have no more to do with politics. For a time they have been estranged from us, by bail i men who could not get oflioa in any other way. Deceived by such for a long time, they desire to part with them. This we hail as a good sign for peace and good will between the two raoes. We are not only the best, but the oaljr friends the u eg toes have in the world. Thoir igno rance has been imposed tipou, uud they have been made to believe wo were their enemies. This i* all that interferes with a good understanding between us to-day. We assure the negroes of this truth, and that we have their interests ut heait along with our own, in trying to redeem our distressed country. Who of us does not well remember impulses of geuuino at tachment for the negroes we were raised with? And they loved us; it was their turo—-they could uot help it—and we could not help it, nor did we try. Our common inteiest is not the only tie that binds us ; their conduct during the war commands our friendship. When we had mustero l the last available man to the distant front, they faithfully cultivated our lands, took care of our helpless fami lies, and made food for our armies iu the field. i he Radicals now have emissaries cir culating among these people, eager to stir up strife uud briag about collisions between the whites aud blacks of this peaceable land. Regardless of human life they would gladly have a few negroes killed for political capital. They are alarmed ut the prospects of defeat, and are doubling their efforts against us. The outrage business is their only stock iu trudo, and unless yon are guarded in r conduct you may contribute to it. Let us by no means fall into this snare. Keep cool nud be patient. A little while and all will bo well. Give no possible casiou for violeuce, aud act on the de fensive to the eud. Firmly exercise your constitutional rights aud take care to re- Hpeot those of all classes of men, without regard to race or color. All uien, white and black, have a right, under our con stitution, to peaceably assemble in any numbers and discuss politics, and all have a tight to bear arms iu self-defence. It is our duty to protect all persons in our midst in the peaceable enjoyment of these lights, while wo may exercise them ourselves. Above all things, give full protection to those colored men who be long to our party and are joiuiug it. -They are subjected by their Radical fol lows to all mauner of intimidation, with taunts, menaces and threats of violence. It is oar duty to invoke the law iu their behalf; and if State laws, ns a remedy, are found inadequate, wo must seek the provisions of tho Enforcement Act, find let. them feci tho rod they have so un sparingly laid on the backs of our un offending peoplo. Bad government mid financial failures have reduced us to poverty; wo are very poor. Our lands me worth nothing in tho market, yet our taxes are more than double wqut they were when the country was considered prosperous. Our county debt, iu six years, lias l een more than doubled. It is now said to be about $41,000. We have got this to pay, aud if tho Radicals con:iuuo in possession of tho State, in a few years it will be $41,- ooo more. Will not this amount to con fiscation of o ir lauds? lias it uot viitu- ally done s*» already? Bad laws are enact ed and good ones remain, in many locali ties, unexecuted on the statute books. Consequently, wo are not protected iu tho possession and enjoyment of what little wo arc able iu work for. Our hogs aud cattle aie slaughtered almost at our doors. Our corn and cotton, before wo can gather it, is taken from the fields at night aud bartered away for trifles. If wo take tho trouble to catch tho thieves, they are immediately released under a Radical law on thoir own bonds without security, to return und repeat their offences (only keeping out of the way while court is in sission), in defiance of us and iu mockery of justice. And yet it is said there are several hundred white men iu this county who have not voted since tho war. We now ask those men, iu the light of these facts, if they have not been mistaken ? Can you bo longer blind to the folly of such a course? You are not aware to what extent you may be responsible for these evils! Wo ask you now to titili out and legisler ; lo join the nearest club, and to make use of the tul- ent you have buried so Jong. Do uot itn- ugiuo this will accomplish nothing. It is the way to nh iko off the nightmare of our troubles,and untie more feel like freemen. “The race is not always to ihe swift, nor the battle to the .strong.” A day l as been sot apart for tho assem bling of your County Nominating Con vent iou, the work in which demands the firmest men uud best talents in the coun ty. Tho diff-.ront boats should strive to put forward their best men as delegates— men who will represent tho interests of tho Democratic aud Comeivntivo party more than the interests of individuals, and insure Hat ^faction. We are told that the Federal soldiers are to be sent amongst us. This need not necessarily impair our chances of victory. We Lave had them amongst us before, aud they behaved theimclvos well. Their presence assures us of (he preseivation of order—the only legitimate employment they have lu re. We want thorn to see the character of political contests we have to make in this country. They will bo dis gusted, as will every other fair minded man who secs it, with tho workings of re- coustruclion in Alabama. It is evidiut thut although they are sent into our Stale at this time ostensibly to coutrol Ihe whites, they are sent here lenlly t > intimidate the negroes and make them afraid not to vote tho Radical ticket. This is tho only bad effect their presence can possibly have, and we must counter act that by disabusing the minds of tho negroes of any fears on that score, and fully expose to them this scheme of sharp Radicalism, designed to whip them into party line. Iu conclusion, wo ask you to go to the polls in November, and “defeat the wick ed purpose of those who would degrade and despoil you.” Ulysses Lewis, Ch’u, A. J. Nix, •1. M. Fuller, Boykin Jones, B. I. Smith, E. N. Brown, R. A. Stratford, Sam i. Eueruaht. The Wheat Market and Currency Movement. — The Chicago journals of Saturday concur in the statement that the farmers persist in holding back thoir grain. The Tnttr.Ocean alludes to it us a “well **Ntablishcd fact,” and that no change in their disposition is to bo looked for untit better prices are obtainable. Tho effect of this state of things on tho money market is what might be expected —a marked diminution of orders from the country for currency. A great deal of what currency is sent out now goes to i Central Iowa, where parties are buying hogs in Kansas and Nebraska, aud bring- • in g them over into Ohio to feed. It is thought that there is a sufficient supply i currency in tho country now to circu- | late in payment for all the grain and other i products that will corno to market —A r . | r. BullHin. KU-KLUX. PENNSYLVANIA RADICALS AFTER A NEGRO. WiLKESiiARRE, Pa., September 2.8.— Last night, about 12 o’clock, four negroes, named Henry Th«inas, Jos. Welcome, Thomas Irwin and George Bazine, hot upon James English, a white man. on Hazel street, uud after knocking liitu down cut his throat, partially severing the w indpipe. Thomas is said to bo the man who did the cutting. He was arrest - oou afterwards at his hoti^e, where he had secreted himself under a lounge. Af ter his arrest a crowd of over two hun dred persons surrounded tho officers, and with rope in hand and cries of “Lynch him !” tried to take him away from their custody. Only a strong force of police, with drawn revolvers, wore able.to kesp them at bay. English is still living, but iN in a precarious condition. BURNING HOUSES OF MINERS. Pittsburg, September 28.—Tho strik ing miners are burning shanties to pre vent the Italian substitutes from shelter ing. ALABAMA NEGRO KU-KLUX. Montgomery, September 28.—Oue fac tion of the Republican party held a meet ing at Wilson’s station. The other fac tion tried to break the meetiug up. While XV. G. Cox, negro, was speakiug, cries of “pull him down” arose. There wi.s a rush for the stand, aud a pistol nhot. One of tho assailing party, u ne gro, fell dead. The mob then tried to lynch Cox, but Wilson, a white man, got him into his store, bolted (he door, and after a strong effort persuaded the mob to let the law take its course. Cox wa^ thou taken to jail. LOUISIANA. NKSATOK WENT A Mi (.OVKUNUH HEI.LOUU. WEST THINKS KELLOGG HAS RECEIVED HIS DEATH BLOW. Washington, September 28.— Senator West of Louisiana, in an open letter to Casey, in New Orleans, under dato of yesterday, ill relation to charges against him of unnecessary abseuce from the Stato during the Into uprising of the peo ple, says: “If Gov. Kellogg regrots my absence,he knows that I visited tho North at his written request, to lay before the President the condition of uft’uirs in Lou isiana, and to solicit Federal support for his government, v/lien its integrity should bo imperilled. If ho regrets my abseuci ns an adviser or couiuellor, it is an indi cation to me that for the first time within my recollection, since Lis installment in 1872, he is ready to give consideration to my opinions as to his general policy. If ho wants his political friends who ore ab sent to assume tho fighting garb, they might prefer some other leader. Tho Kellogg administration is environed with difficulties sufficient to diuimy the stout est heart, and it has of late received such a shook as to make its most determined supporters doubt as to whether it iH com petent to exact obedience to its authority even with the assistance of tho pirent government. New York, September 28.—A New Or leans special 6ays tho Conference Com- iuittoe on the part of the Democrats deci ded last evening to accept the proposition of Kellogg’s party in relation to tho Boarl of Stute Canvas-.era, which is that the Democrats be allowod a representation of two on the Board. JUS TUS KIIEEMLY. OPINION OF ONE OF THE IRISH TEAM IN THE RECENT REMARKAULTfi SHOOTING IN NEW YORK. New York, September 28.—The Secre tary of tho Irish Rifie Team yesterday said to a reporter: “I consider it the most remarkable rifle contest that Las ever taken place. We utterly outdid our selves, and you surprisingly outdid us. It was an issuo thut wo did not expect, but under tho circumstances it was a contest that we are not ushamed of. Do not consider iuo an .individual, but re gard me as speaking for the entire Team, when I siy we have had no such u contest before in our lives, or have wo ever be fore met with such admirable marksmen us .you Americans. As far as the range is concerned it is admirable ! admirable ; It could uot bo better. It far exceeds our ramge at home. I was perfectly delighted with it. RESTORKII. hurratt’s counsel restored to profes sional PRIVILEGES. Washington, Sept. 28.—Joseph II. Bradley, who was debarred from the Su preme court of tho District of Columbia during tho trial of John II. Surratt in 18G7, for alleged contempt of Court, and who was afterwards charged with sending a threatening message to the Justice holding that court, Judge Fisher, was to-day restored to tho list of attor neys, on motion of Thomas J. Durant. Iu granting the motion, Chief Justice Carter said the Court had informally been advised of this motion, mid they had unauimqp.dy ugreed to grunt it. They considered whatever had passed hail been abundantly atoned for, und they should welcoiuo Mr. Brad ley as a member of the bar with pleas ure. The court room was filled by mem bers of tho bar, who, with the greatest unanimity, applauded tho remarks of the court, and gathered around Mr. Bradley lo oougtetulute him. TELECRAPHIC notes.
