THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.
The result of the late election in Virgin-
• teach a wholesome lesson, it is hop-
w .scalawags and negro-worshipping
carpet baggers everywhere. Those vUe
ature= wl.o have run for office on the
tourm » f ' disfranchising a d disqualify-
for office, a large portion of the whites,
"hilc they would make every negro no
alter how ignorant and debased, a voter,
Mid capable to hold office, will soon come
to be hated and despised as they . ought to
not only in Virginia, but also in all the
other Silithern States. We hope soon to
lie the time when the carpet-baggers, who
have coine South merely to obtain office by
llr h discreditable means, will find the cli
mate too hot for t hem.

Agricultural Fair Meeting.
Our friends, interested in the project of a
Fair for the Cherokee Country, will bear in
mind that the meeting held in this city on
the 24th of Jane, adjourned to meet a? ain
on Tuesday July the 20th, at the City
Hall at 10 1 o'clock A. M.
The Executive Committee will then re-
port what they have done, and the prog
ress that is being made in this important
enterprise It is hoped that there will be a
fall meeting on the 20th inst.
separately; while the Conservative party,
Conservative
under Walker, including nearly all the
"bite voters and some of the blacks mostly
voted tor the Constitution, and all voted
separately for striking out its disfranchis-
i,,,, and rest clauses.
Thus with the successot \V alker the con
stitution is ratified, shorn of its disfranchise
ul ent and test oath, whereby a large num
ber of disfranchised and unqualified ex
rebel whites arc admitted to tuc right of
suffrage and the right to hold office. The
registered voting whites of the btate in the
1-te contest exceeded the registered blacks
bv some twenty odd thousand. lhe re
moval of the existing disfranchisements
and test oath will give the conservatives
«ome ton or fiftceu thousand additional
white voters, with a few exceptions the
most intelligent and influential white men
of the State. Thus it will bo seen that in
this late election the conservatives have
not only secured possession of the State, but
that, by the sagacious course they have
pursued, they have so strengthened their
warty as to be morally certain of holding
the State, and of bidding the radical ne
groes and their managing white carpet-
bageers in a wholesome condition of subor
dination for an indefinite time to come.
This, we say, is a great and a very im
portant victory. In order to gain it the con
servatives bad to make some important con-
cessions, such as the recognition of the ne
gro’s civil and political equality in the State
Constitution, and au acquiescence in the
condition precedent of Congress in the rati
fication of the Fifteenth amendment of the
federal constitution, establishing universal
negro manhood suffrage, with the power of
Congress to enforce it.”
How Georgia Should Act.
-In reply to a question propounded to
us, says the Savannah JVeirs, by the Macon
Telegraph of yesterday, w i would say that
it isboth duty and policy for Georgia to do
what is legal, equitab’e and rightas regards
the recent Supreme Court decision in the
negro case—to do in that case as she would
do toward white men—and leave the conse
quences to take care of themselves. There
is no power that can rightfully demand of
us to do an unlawful act, and when we set
tle down on the policy to do everything that
is pleasing to the Radicals in order to con
ciliate them, wo shall find it is out of our
power to do anything that will please them.
A party that is determined not to be satis
fied with what is right, you may rest assur
ed is equally determined not to be satisfied
at all. The lamb will muddy the water
whether he drinks above or below the wolf.
We have never yet made anything by do
ing wrong or abstaining from doiog right
Every page of the last four year’s history
proves this,and it is high time that we were
beginning to respect ourselves and show
that we have some manhood left. Every
body is roaly to impose on the cowardly
and truckling, and no people ever yet
got their rights by refusing to stand np for
them.
We are sorry to see a portion of the
Georgia press so exceedingly anxious to
reinstate the negroes in the Legislature,
right or wrong, lest some terrible Yankee
calamity shall come upon us. Why, the
most they can do is to reinstate them for
us, and how much worse off shall we be?
Our political status will he the same, and
in the former case we shall have preserved
our dignity and self respect. We hope
Georgians will give a deaf ear to nil such
timid counsels. It is to their interest to
dp what is legal and right, and we have
reason to believe there is a returning sense
ot justice, even in Congress, that will save
them from harm.”
More Rewards.
Gov. Bullock offers a reward of $200 for
the apprehension of Jones Singleton, con
victed of burglary in Burke county last
May.
Also, §500 for Geo. W. Jordon and

Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Georgia.
The M.-. W.\ Grand Master of this State
has appointed Dr. J. Emmett Blackshear,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Simri Rose, in the office -of Grand Secreta-
r f- The appointment is considered a good
one. .
Fine Wine.
Hr. R. V. Mitchell has placed upon onr
table a bottle of that delicious Catawba
Wine, manufactured by Col. C. H. Roch
ester, of Stanford, Ky. This wine is
nothing but the pure juice of the Catawba
grape, yet, in flavor, is equal to the best
imported winc3. Persons desiring a light
wine for medicinal purposes or table use,
will do well to get it.
Hot.—Last Tuesday was the hottest
a y this season. Mr. Norton’s Thermom
eter on that day indicating 100° yesterday
—Wednesday—it stood at 98°. The hob-
U. t day last year the same thermometer in-
^ “jated 103°. Me. N’s. thermometer runs
n ittle higher in summer and not qnite
°w in winter, as others in this city.
Large Sale of Lands—Belgium Immigra
tion;
We are informe 1 that Capt. E. G. Bar
ney, agent of the Selma, Rome & Dalton
Railroad, has sold, conditionally, 20,000
acres of land, belonging to the railroad,
and lying in Calhoun county, Ala., to a
compauy consisting ot 160 families of Bel
gians. This bargain was made few a days
since, and the agent of these immigrants
will leave for Belgium in a short time, in
order to have the trade confirmed, and ac-
oompany the colony to their new homes.—
This U a move in the right direction. We
would like to see all the unoccnp : ed lands
of our section settled by thrifty larmers,
industrious and frugal, like the Belgians.
Pic Nlc Excursion.
The Romo Amateur Brass Baud propose
give a steamboat excursion on the 24th
inst., in order to raise fnnds to defray their
necessary expenses, such as rent, new mu-
sic, and other incidentals This Band are
practicing in good earnest, and are already
contributing greatly to the pleas ire of our
citizens.
The party will leave at 3 ■ o’clock, p in.,
and return at 10 p. m. Parties are expec
ted to carry their own baskets, and tin Pic
Nie will be at Hatcher’s Spring, ahont 25
miles down the river fiom Rome. The
Brass Band will, of course, have their in
struments along, and there will also be a
string band in attendance for the benefit of
those who delight “to trip on the light fan
tastic to.e.” Tickets for the trip only one
dollar, and everybody who wants a good
time, should be sure to go. The Band
richly deserves this little contribution at
the hands of our citizens, and we hope all
will buy tickets, whether they can go on
the excursion or not.
Accident.—Geo. Miller, a colored
shoemaker of this city, accidentally fell
from the train on the Rome Railroad on

At first it was feared that his injuries would
prove fatal, bat yesterday he was better.

The Confederate Debt.
The Imperialist promises to pay a good
slice of the Confederate war debt when we
have an Emperor. It claims that tbe Con
federate debt is not to be forfeited by the
failure of the Confederacy any more than
tbe United States debt is consecrated by
success. The one was made payable after
£he permanent establishment of a Southern
Government. True, bnt the otbor was
raised to perpetuate a Republic which has
notoriously ceased to exist. So, if one
debt is in a bad way, tbe other may be
equally shaky some day or other. Both
are failures. The South did not gain her
independence, and the North smashed the
Ropnblic instead of preserving it. So,

Mr. Editor—Believing some notice
from us of tbe examination of the students
of tills Institution, which took place on the
1st and 2din,t., due the public, as well
as Mr.-J.'S. Stubbs, who has so ably and
successfully presided over it for the last
four years, it was resolved at a meeting of
the Board of Trustees on the 3d to publish
a general account of the Examination and
present condition of the Institution.
To say that the Examination was a suc
cess, would only be giving expression to
what tbe large and attentive audience. in
attendance most have felt. The fairness
which characterized the Examination of
the various classes throughout, could not
fail to dispel all idea from the mind of the
spectator that any special preparation had
been made for tbe occasion. Spectators
selected numerous problems for some of
the classes in Mathematics, the number of
each being placed in a box, the student
did not know until he drew, what problem
he was called upon to demonstrate.
The classes in Geography, Grammar,
English, Composition, Philosophy, Rhet
oric, Critic : sm and the languages, acquitted
themselves creditably, and evinced a. thor
oughness of instruction, not often witness-
ed upon such occasions. But we were es
pecially pleased with the class in arithme
tic. The p.-omptness with which the little
;irls and boys in this class responded to all
questions propounded—propunded as they
were in so many ways as tests, was truly
astonishing, and proved conclusively that
they were not taught to memorize a certain
routine merely for the recitation room, but
to originate, which is so essential to the ex
pansion of the mind of the youog student.
Tbe compositions of the young ladies and
speeches of the young gentlemen, were gen
erally conceived in good taste, and gave
such evidence of talent as could not fail to
inspire the audience with the hope that
tbeir minds were undergoing such discip
line as would more fully develop itself in
great usefulness to their race hereafter.
The general result of the examination,
which passed off so satisfactorily to the
large audience in attendance, is due to the
talents, energy, perseverance and close at
tention of Mr. Stubbs aud his able assis
tants, Mr. Williamson and the accomplish
ed Mrs. Smith.
The school numbered, in the session just
closed about one hundred students. It has,
since the close of the war, grown from a
very small beginning to its present pro
portions, under the indefatigable efforts of
Mr. Stubbs, who, as instructor of youth,
has but few equals.
The location of this Institution combines
all the advantages that usually attract pa
rents and guardians, who desire to patron
ize a first class school. Perfectly healthy,
finely watered, large tjnd commodious build
ings, surrounded by. a fertstS^country—so
ciety good, chuftnfetef^various denomina
tions convenient, tuition aud board at old
prices. Under its present management, we
can, without hesitation, recommend .Cher-
okee Wesleyan Institute to the patronage
jf the public.
By order of the Board of Trustees.

Another Murderer Turned Loose.
George Fowlet, a negro, says the Savannah
Republican, convicted of murder and sen
tenced to be hung by the Supreme Court
of Worth county, has also had his sentence
commuted by Bullock to one year’s impris
onment iu the penitentiary.
This abuse of the pardonin g aud com
muting power of the Executive is infamous.
It has become impossible to hang a negro
in Georgia for anything, except the people
take the law into their own hands and pro
tect the peace of society. This is grievous
ly wrong, but what help have we for it? Im
peachment is the only remedy, and that,
however deserved,cannot be ventured npon
at this time with entire success.
It has been a favorite theme with the
.Radical press and politicians that lawless
ness exists at the South, and no effective
steps arc taken to punish offenders. How
is such a thing possible when a Stale has
such a Governor a* Bnlloc k to interpose
sneb authority and screen from punishment
every convicted criminal? They now see
how powerless are the people and the court
so long as the highest authority of the State
habitually sets all law at defiance and pnb-
licly allies himself with the cause of crimi
nals. How long can society exist without
the protection of law? Circumstances justi
fy Georgians in propounding this question
and in casting about for a remedy.
SgL.The State officers elected in Virgin

The Radical Republicans have elected
their Congressmen in the First,. Second
and Third Districts, while the Conservative
Republicans have chosen the Congressmen
for the State at large, and their candidates
in the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and
Eigth Districts. Should these reports be
coned, the delegation from Virginia in the
present Congress, will stand as follows :
First District, Dr. D. M. Norton, col
ored.
Second District, Col. J H Platt.
Third District, Chas. H. Porter.
Fourth District, Levi C Thayer.
Fifth District^ Col. Robt. Ridgway.
Seventh Listrict, Lewis McKenzie.
Eighth District, Jas. K Gibson.
Congressman at large, Joseph Segar.
Rev. Jas. W. Hunniout, of Richmond,
who was supported as the candidate for
Congress Ly the Conservatives in the Third
District, has been defeated. The new Con
stitution has, of coarse, been adopted by a
very largo majority, with the exception of
the two proscriptive clauses—those relating
to disfranchisement and the test oath—
which were separately submitted to tbe
popular vote.
Washington, July 10.—It is stated
that at a lengthy session of tbe Cabinet
yesterday, the question of election in Mis-
issippi and Texas was fully discussed, and
it was finally agreed that an election
shonld be held in Mississippi on the 4th
of November next. No official news of the
condition of afiairs in Texas having been
received lately, it was thought wise not to
risk an election there until the people were
thought to be felly prepared for it.
The Collector of Customs of the port of
Georgetown, a few days ago received a
magnificent collection of sold silver articles,
intended os presents for Gen. Grant, Gen.
Sherman, ex-Sccretary Seward, and Mrs.
ex-President Lincoln. They were sent to
this country from Mexico by Serur Itnr-
bide, in behalf of a modest Mexican, .who
refused to have his name made known, and
said that in his tiansport of delight ot'. the
abolition of slavery, he was prompted to
prepare this little token for some of the
principal actors in that good work.

New York, July 10.—Susan Letrnur-
aux, aged 70 years, was murdered in West
13th street last evening, by her daughter-
in-law, Mrs. Rossanne Deane, in a fit of in
sanity. The weapon used by Mrs. Deane
was a hatcliet.
The Herald’s Richmond dispatch says
th /t Gen. Canby on Thursday, expressed
bis gratification at the mauner in which
the Virginia election was conducted, and
prononneed it one of the fairest that ever
occurred. He says the whole country has
cause for congratulation at the success of
the President’s policy in reconstructing
Virginia.

Read these Lines and Ponder them Well.
The best test of the merits of any propriotary
article is to ascertain what is thought of it at
home where it is manufactured, inch a test Lipp-
man’s Pyrafuge can well stand, as to-day It is
decidedly the favorite remedy for chills and fe
ver, dumb ague, and other diseases of a nudari-
ons origin, in the city of Savannah, where it is
prepared. The principal drucgUta of the city
would as much think of doing without castor
oil in their stores as to be without this popular
(and deservedly so) remedy. It is a vegetable
nrenaration free from deleterious drugs, and acts
as a tonic npon the entire system, thereby in* ig-
orating the system so xnnch so as to enable it to
throw off disease. Pyrafuge does not nauseate or
sicken the patient^ and can be taken bvthe most
delicate persons withont fear. It should’ always
be at hand as chills and fever creep upon ns so
stealthily when we are not aware of its ap-
preach until it is upon us. - word to the wisp
is sufficient.

CEDAR VALLEY
LAND FOR SALE.
T HE subscriber offers nis Plantation known
formerly as the Morrison place, three fourths
of a mile from Cedartown for sale. The place
contains 700 acres of as good land as there is in
Cedar Valley. Last'year the net profits, from
the rented lands planted in cotton, was forty-
eight dollars per acre. The place is admirably
watered and can conveniently be divided into
two or three farms. There is an excellent two-
story Dwelling, with nine rooms, well finished—
an ample supply of good Out Buildings, a good
Gin House and Screw, and eight or nine comfort
able Houses for Renters. If any one is willing
to pay anything like a FAIR PRICE for GOOD
LAN'D, we can trade.
I will take one-half the amount thst lands,
which are no better, have recently sold for in
this valley. HIRAM PHILLIPS.
