TUESDAY JIOKMXC, April 28.
Three Cheers ami a ‘'Tiger 1 * for Old Floyd
—The Democratic Conservative Party
Triumphant, and Radicalism Humiliated,
What- good man is not proud of the re
sult in Floyd county. It will be noticed
that the two tickets run with a suprising
degree of uniformity. The average Demo
cratic vote is 1175—omitting Ross and
Moore, who had no opponents—and the
average Radical vote is 805. There were
742 negroes who voted, and about 50 of
these voted the Democratic ticket, thus
leaving 173 white men who voted the Rad
ical ticket! Poor deluded creatures, we
pity them from the bottom of our heart,
and would advise them to keep this act of
theirs as still as possible, and never do so
any more.
The result proves conclusively that inde
pendent candidates, who are understood to
be adopted by the Radicals, cannot count on
Conservative support. Good men, iu such
times as these, will stand to principle, ig
norin'' personal considerations, if need be.
The full vote is as follows :
Against Constitution,
For Constitution,
Gordon,
Bullock,
Young.
Atkins,

Puckett,

The Disfranchised.
We take the liberty of publishing the
following letter, written by one of the pur
est and best men of Floyd county. We
have no doubt the writer expresses the feel
ings of a large portion of the best men in
the land. The white men who have per
sisted in attempting to degrade their neigh
bors and fellow citizens of the same race,
can hardly give an excuse for their conduct
that will satisfy ail honest mind, and they
\ujinot blame good men for saying of them

To Messrs. TYriyht Y Broyles :
Gentlemen—I have seen a circular re
questing the disfranchised to call at your
office to-day, rcc rd their names and depos

of you, or either of you, to act as Proxy for

Jail Burned—The jail here was burned
down last Saturday night. There were
two persons confined iu it, a white man and
a negro, both for horse stealing. They
ent a hole near one of the windows, large

by which they reached the ground unhurt.
They set the room they occupied on fire,
which soon spread over the entire roof and
tendered it impossible to save the honsc
from burning. From the signs on the wall
of the jail, the prisoners were furnished the
means of escape—a hatchet and hand
saw.
Since writing the above we learn that
Mr. P. Ward shot one of the jail-birds(thc

thigh and slightly wounded.—Forsyth Adv.

J. C. Brain, whose letter we published
yesterday, is kept in jail without a trial. He
was imprisoned during the war on charges
of crimes connected with the rebellion.
The war ended three years ago, and the
courts are sitting every day for the trial of
offences. Yes, without being tried or
arraigned, this man is still kept iu prison.

Gen. Meadf. and the Test, OatiV.—
The New York World thus allud.es to.Gen-
cral Meade’s Tesc Oath order:
“General lileade is evidently of the opin
ion that the test oath question-‘may-bo' left
lor decision till.that constitution is ratified.-
The blunt statement that in the event oisuch
ratification and tho election of the Asspm-
blymoa, the Legislature ‘is; required to con
vene and adopt tho proposed amendment to
the Constitution of the U nited States, des
ignated as Article XIV, before the Stuto
can admitted to representation,’ becomes
amusing when we consider that several
States.now represented in Congrcss-havo
acted as they pleased in the matter, and that
two States have rescinded tho action of
preceding Legislatures, which, adopted this
proposed amendment merely as : a party
measure.” . ..
jig_Thurlow Weed moralizes: “Many
years;ago a Southern Senator, in viewaf the
threatning aspect of affairs, remarked that
the ‘Nation’s hair wasgrowing gray rapidly.’
It grew grayer during the rebellion. This
impeachment will bring white hairs and
baldness.”

Amusing Anecdote.
Daniel Websler’bad an anecdote of old
Father Searl, tne minister of his boyhood,
which is too good to be lost. It was cus
tomary then to wear buckskin breeches in
cool weather. One Sunday morning in the
autumn. Father 8’carl brought his breeches
down from the garrett where the wasps had
taken possession of-them during the sum
mer, and were haring a nice time of. it in
them, iiy dint of effort he got out the in
truders anil dressed for meeting, bat while
reading the scripture io the congregation
he felt a dagger from one of the smalt wais-
ted fellows, and jumped around the pulpit
slapping his things. But the more he slapp
ed gad danced the mpre they stung. The
pebple thought hint crazy, but ho explain
ed the matter by saying: “Brethren, don't

mouth, but the devil is in my breeches l"
Webster always told it with a great gleeto

preached by Butler’s friends, and a letter, “ ’
illustrating the anxiety with which the-at,-
teiupt was prosecuted is before us, written
by J. K. Herbert to Hon. L. D. Campbell
of Ohio, which says:
You also agree, I suspect, that Butler, for
any place, especially War or State, is about
the best man in the country. Presuming
these things, I write to ask that you make

Sensible.—The New York Herald ex-'
j atiates upon the fol y of Gen.Schofield;
in trying to curb the extreme passions of
the Virginia Convention. It points o'nt
a great dinger to Radicalism, thus:
“Radicalism will have to modify its nig
ger programme, or presently to choose be
tween the loss of the whole of its power in
the lies of the nigger. It mill then have to
reia in the adness of Coffee; but he will
by that time have gotten beyond all re
straints. He will demaud more than the
maddest partisan will dare e-ea promise,
and, his demand bciug refused he .jfill re
venge himself by casting his vote on the
other side and acting in concert with., the
people of his State against Radical rule.
Such is the inevitable future, and the Con
servative element has' only to keep cool and

Fate of thooe who Condemned Mrt. Surratt
to tfie Callows.
The Cambridge (Md.) Democrat alludes
to the infamous witnesses for the .Govern
ment upon whose testimony an innocent
women, Mrs Surratt, was murdered by the
galluws, by the order of an . illegal packed
military tribunal. It says:
Conover, the particular friend and associ
ate of Ashley, residing in the penitentiary;
Cleaver has been once convicted of an infH-
mons crime, and is awaiting a new trial;
Baker is an absconding criminal, and fugi
tive from justice, and Richard Montgomery
has been arrested, and Is UTbe tried lor em
bezzlement and swindling. -
Preston - King,who is said prevented Miss
Anna.Surratt from having an. - interview
with President Johnson on the morning
her mother was executed, committed sui
cide a few months after, by throwing him
self into the waters of the Hudson. There
are others in the bloody drama who will
have fortunes equally bad with those already
spoken of. There is a retribution always
in the moral as well as in the physical world
for those who commit outrages against the
humanity, and sin against Sic laws of jus
tice. --M
