A. K. Calnouv,
Proprietor.
It is now nettled by the concur-
fence of the Poet matter General and the
committee to whom the subject wae re
ferred, that when the new newepeper law
goea into effect, on the firat of January
1875, that instead of placing stamps on
the separate periodicals or papers, or on
tha package containing them,according to
weight, the forms aa already printed ahow
the current acconat with the publishers,
and after the printed matter is weighed,
the requisite amount of stamps is pasted
on the form of reoeipt given to the pub
Usher ot his agent at the time of mailing,
the credit and receipt having correspond
ing numbers.
The Washington reporters insist that
tha President still sticks to Mnllett. They
aey that Secretary Bristow hsd made np
hie mind that under no contingency would
he be permitted to remain, but shortly
after the reoeut difficulty he wes induced
to so modify his determination as to per
mit Mnllett to remain till his successor
should be appointed. His modification is
understood to have been reached through
the direct influence of the President,
His successor has not been appointed,and
there is reason to believe that the appoint
ment will be delayed, on one pretext or
another, to suit Mr. Mn!lett*s conven
ience.
Hom. A. H. Stephens has written a let
ter to the Mobile JUgister, to correct that
paper in its strictures upon a former let
ter of bis. In his letter to the Register,
Mr. Stephens contends that Judge Durell
had, nnder the Reconstruction acts, juris
diction to decide who wes the Governor
of Louisiana, but says that those ante
gave him no jurisdiction to decide who
were members of. the Legislature. He
adds that he (Mr. Stephens) duos not
admit the constitutionality of the Recon
struction acts. Yet he defends General
Grant, who reoommended and signed the
Enforcement act, and who sustained
Durell in a course which Mr. Stepheus
now admits to have been a usurpation in
part! ^
The Savannah papers report the results
of the big sale of damaged ootton from
the steamship Ht. Louis, on Tuesday. The
total number of balsa sold was 2,557, and
tha aggregate proceeds were $92,258.50.
A balance of about 900 bales was with
drawn. The sale was mado in lots.
Where a lot of one classification contain
ed only 50 bales or less, it was all sold
at once; when the lot contained over
50 balea, the sale was of 50 bales
with the privilege of the lot. The News
says: “The attendance was large. Bid
ders being present from the interior of
the State, Now Orleans, and many of the
eastern etties, and the competition was so
eager and spirited that but few Southern
buyers had a chance to come in at figures
which they considered profitable, only
about 400 balea beiog taken by them.
The larger portion was bought by North
ern men."
More PsurpotloM.
Accounts from Washington say that
“the President has informed several of
the Republican Senators, who hate called
on him, that he has resolved in bis annual
message to appeal to Congress to sottle,
now and forever, the status of the State
governments of Arkansas and Louisiana."
This is repeated so often and so posi
tively that we are compelled to regard it
aa an authoritative announcement. Bull Col. Wilkins should know tbit.
rORE 141S LABOR ANR CAPITAL
By foreign we do not mean 'alien, but
foreign in ceElradisti action to domestic,
terms ire used in this country.
Every man you meet efltdljiRtbis
oountry needs foreign capital, but there
is a duas of men, in numbers stdRfcieUi'to
noiiee, who most decidedly oppofte emi
gration, and who imagine this country is
none too large for themselves*. This
elaaa, though on the surface, is neither
the working nor the deep thinking clam
of the Sonth, for if they were eitherthey
would eee that no atraeger would send has
money here in any quantity and then atay
away himself, for fear of bnrting the
feelings of men who live in the peat and
keep open their heart sores by dwelling
on the time when they could live without
labor. Wq claim to be the friend of our
adopted home, but we see no adequate
inducement for hiding the fact that there
exists here io the hearts of idle women,
and the hearts of thriftless, worthless
men, a hatred, deep and unhidden,
of everything that does not chord
with their own lew standard of
civilization, and particularly of every
thing “Yankee," as they term Northern
people and Northarn products. We havs
the names and conversation of thirty-sev
en man and woman, claiming to be res
pectable, who in the last four months
have ottered the most false and hellish
tirades against Northern people. Still
these persons do not represent our people
—they only represent their own poor,
unpatriotic and gradually diminishing
class. A class too falsely vain to work,
and too wretchedly poor to get credit; sod
it is these people who have brought all the
misery on the 6outb, and who are looked
upon by unthinking strangers as proper
types of Houthern manhood and woman
hood. The truth is, the heroes of the
South are working to win, with brave
hearts and uncomplaining lips, and
the majority of (Southern women, scorn
ing the idle drones and vicious gossips,
are usiag every influence to supplement
the exertions of their husbands, fathers
and brothers. We can tell the sentiments
of Houthern men or women pretty
well by the condition of their obli
gations, and the extent of their credit.
Bat here is why we speak, and we desire
those who read the Encjuibkb in the North
to notice this point particularly: The
night before last a meeting of the colored
friends of John Mcllhenny, K«q., was
called at the store of Holstead & Go. Mr.
Mclibeony was raised iu Philadelphia,#!^
learned his business there. Everybody
iu this section knows he is running
against Col. Wilkins, who was raised in
Columbus. Nine-tenths of the working
colored mon aide with Mr. Mcllhenny,
and at the meeting referred to they so
expressed themselves, and the sentiment
of the oolored people is undoubtedly that
of the whites. During the meeting on
the occasion referred to, several of the
Wilkins negroes insisted on speaking, and
though the demand was made with the
purpose of breaking up the meeting, the
oolored men were Allowed to talk. One
of them is known as “the natural
something, we have forgotten what, but
he ahowed he deserved tbo name. The
other introduced himself as “Mr. Adam,
who came to express the aentiinonls of
Col. Wilkins for Mayor."
Mr. Adam—a colored man, remember—
got np on a stool, and as the mouthpiece
and friend of Col. Wilkins, he got off the
following racy, Know-Nothing sentiment:
“Every man, colored and white, should
vote for Frank Wilkins for Mayor, because
he was raised here, born among us, and
is one of us. We should go for him, and
for our own natives, against all pome ion
kbs ami Northern men," Ao. Ac. Ac.
We trust there were no strangers to
hear the remark# of thia poor illiterate
mouthpiece of sentiments that should be
dead. This eouotry needs foreigners and
Northern men, despite the wild assertions
of the chauipioui of our would-be Mayor.
Georgia has not all the virtue, wealth or
courage of the world, and the friends of
Look at
it would be a novel way to seltla contests
about State Governments in this country.
Our complicated form of government
certainly contemplated that the people of
each Ktato should elect their Governors
and legislators, and that in case of con-
teats Involving questions of fact or law,
the ooorts of the States should have ex
clusive jurisdiction. Iu the oaeo* of both
Arkansas and Louisiana, the people of
those States have recently settled the
questions as t > thoir State Governments,
by unmistakable verdicts. Congress would
not interfere as long as thero wan any
pretext for doubt as to the will of the
people. But now, when the people have
spoken, it is proposed that Congress shall
interfere and take jurisdiction. The pro
position ia oue of usurpation aud revolu
tion. It ia a virtual assumption that the
people of the States have no rights which
the Federal Congress is bound to respect.
—A man known as Tom Adams, who
for some years kept a low dance bouse at
Mszatlan, Mexico, was reoently shot by
another desperado, and before his death
confound to the Auuericau commercial
agent at that port that he had been guilty
of no less than fonttoen murders, all but
one of which were committed iu the
United States and Cauada. His proper
name, he said, was George Worley. He
wa« born iu Manchester, England, aud
cotumeuced his career of crime by mur
dering the second mato of the American
ship Cul tivator, iu the Liverpool dooks,
about the year 1854. After this he went
to Canada,* aud under various names pur
sued a career of crime. For burglary
committed at Chicago, he aorved three
years in the Illiuois State Prison. He
said that he weut to Vera Cruz from New
Orleans just before the war broke out.
He leaves over $10,000 to a sister, who re
sides at Sheffield, England.
A Horrible Murder.
A report of a horrible murder and sui
cide has reached Troy, N. Y. A carpen
ter named Elias Williams recently befcau
tha erection of a frame house iu a forest
district in liaiuiltou county, N. Y., and
hired George Smith to assist him iu its
construction. A few days since they got
drunk and quarrelled, when Williams
threw Smith upon a wood saw horse and
held him there until he sawed his head
off with a handsaw. When conscious of
what be had done, Williams committed
suicide by cutting his own throat. A \>oy
named Grant, who saw the tragedy, car
ried the newt to the neareet neighbors,
two miles distant, and they buried the
bodies of the men.
our faotorios! Clapp is from the North,
aud he is the father of the Columbus
Mills. Swift ia froili the North, and
no man has done more to develop our
faotoriea. Young is from the North, aud
the Eagle and Phenix Mills are monu
ments of his energy. Our banks, with
one exception, Col. Salisbury, and there
lives no better or more generous man, are
controlled by men, not blessed by being
born near the Chattahoochee. Mr. Epping
is a German, Mr. Browno is a Northern
man. . Our most successful merchants
are foreigners and our most prosperous me
chanics were l>orn in other lands or othor
States. Let the intelligent roader ait calmly
down and call over tha Gormans, Irish,
other foreigners and Northern men, and
then imagine them out of this town, and
what would it be ? A wilderness of ruin
ed houses filled with pauper whiten, aud
its streets paved with starving negroes.
Yet this negro representative of Columbnn
Know-Nothingiam raises his voice at the
Lidding of bis political masters to cry
down men who come from other States.
It ia, indeed, remarkable if the black man
who yesterday took the adventurous car.
pet-baggor to his heart, should to-day wed
the fast dying theories of nieu who live
only in the dead and bitter paid, and cry
out agaiust foreigners.
We cannot help feeling that “Adam"
has sounded the key uote of the munici
pal contest, and our experience, and a
hard experience it is, tells us he has. It
is uot a struggle between frieuds and
traduoers any longer; it is a fight foi
the future of Columbus. From the Pith
of thia month, she will either advance or
go back, and hor course will depend on
the election. This bitter animosity must
be forever killed out, and its death or life
is in the hands of the people. For our
selves, we wish to make this our perma
nent home ; still, the vote that rebukes
the stranger who came here to make this
his abiding place, will prepare us for
aeeking auother habitation at any saeri-
fioe. But, while we remain, our voioe
will be raised in no ambiguous tones
against the traduoers of strangera.and the
foes of a city that retard her progress, as
barnacles atay the passage of a becalmed
ahip, while the wind to waft her on is
tdowiug just beyond. The farmers of
this country are true to themselves. How
about the people of this oily ?
Ossrfls Celered Ceaveatlea.
The fifty or sixty delegates to the con
vention of diflaHRM Regroce at Atlan
ta, continued m eeasioa Tuesday and
WedMiiay. There wae much difference
of optaion among them Aa to the proper
oosneio pursue, Bfft there does not
appear hi have hum nay dissent from the
proposition made and repeated by several
of the speakers, that the cerpet-beggers
had deaaived the negroes and censed them
great injury. K. H. Carter, of Fulton,
said: “All that we have ttailed have de
ceived us. Carpet-baggers do all for
themselves, and they will follow you
wherever you go. They have caused us
and the whites to distrust one another.
No man can dodge the fact. Carpet-baggers
deceived as, they came for office end got
it over our backs, then sold us out." [Car
ter should have added that the negroes
have not yet trusted the Democrats, or
been deoeived by them.^ W. P. Butler,
of Cobb, saw thia point.* He said: “The
carpet-baggers ruined us. Now let us
lay our complaints before the home peo
ple. The only way to bnikl up is to
unite. Let the past be past, and look
forward for better days. If they don't
come, then emigrate to another country."
There was great complaint about not
being put on jurien, not having firat’class
cars on the railroads, Ac. The disposi
tion to emigrate seemed to be the pre
dominant one, but io our reading of the
speeches aa reported, we have not found
that any speaker declared his fixed resolu
tion to move.
As we have already mentioned, Mr.
John H. James being invited to address
the Convention, made some sensible re
marks, advising these negroes to “accept
tha situation" and go to work, whereby
they would do more for themselves and
their race than by all their senseless po
litical agitation over so-called wrongs
which no legislation could remedy. On
Wednesday, Governor Smith being in
vited, also addressed the Convention. He
advised them that no convention coald do
oide whether R was heat for any man to
move to any locality—that
a question which each man must decide
for himself. If they should all leave the
State, the natural advantages of Georgia
were such that white immigrants from
Europe would soon take their places and
do their work. He saw in the Convention
one man who persuaded many negroes to
emigrate to Mississippi in 1850, but he
did not go himself, and he wonld not go
now, though he was playing the same
role. Many of the colored people from
Houston county, who went West a few
years ago, bad walked back, because they
had no money to pay their passage. The
Governor gave them good advice: “Make
these leaders go with you. If they won’t
go, then don’t you go."
John A. Wimpy, white Uadieal, also
addressed tha meeting, and had many
complaints of outrages to make and tnauy
arts of the demagogue to practice.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
the Grangers for reducing the price of
agricultural labor; complaining of unjnst
discriminations ou public conveyances, at
inns, in the distribution of the school
fund, Ao.; appealing to tha Legislature
for a redress of them grievances, and
threatening to leave the State unless they
were redressed.
A letter from H. M. Turner was read,
in which he dealared that he despaired of
the negro race, unless they went back to
Africa. While the others are turning
their eyes to the west, Turner looks to
the east for deliverance.
The committee on “outrages" in Geor
gia reported on Wednesday evening, and
as the presentation of a budget of this
kind was of course the prime object of
the Convention—the threat to go West
being an accompanying demonstration to
back the pretenoe of outrages—the report
was no doubt anxiously expected. The
committee reported only two definitely.
One of these was in Fayette county,
where “a party" made a negro swear
falsely, and then prosecuted him for
perjury; and the other was in Wash
ington county, where tho elect on
managers required the negrooi to show
their tax receipts before voting! and
where, also, a white man
whipped a colored man’s wife, and be
cause the oolored man fought him he was
put in jail, and afterwards taken out and
whipped by white men. Dr. Baldwin,
oolored, said that the report of tho com
mittee was next to nothing, and the Con
vention shonld not receive it. It was then
referred back to the committee.
Resolutions were adopted, urging tho
outrage hunters to continue their hunt,
so as to report to Cpngress; also, raising
a Committee on Emigration, ono member
of which should ba elected by the people
of each of the cities of Atlanta, Savannah,
Columbus, Macon and Augusta, with head
quarters at Atlanta.
Tho Convention adjourned from Wod
nesday to Thursday.

Wednesday, 2d.—In the Senate, Mr.
HarrU, of KaaaeH, introduced a joint

act, was taken np. The amendment mak
ing the stealing of property valued at $25
grand larceny, was adopted. The bill was

licanH to postpone, lay oo the table, Ac.

Gaskin, to protect passengers traveling in

Ac.); to enable married women to mort-
g tge their separate statutory estates ; to
