BULLOCK’S PKOCL AM ATION
THE COMMERCIAL.
The self-confessed, r fcebh ami <T.crrj>ul
hmalic,” Doctor Colon j1 James F. Sbauk-
lin, Managing and Political - Kditot,. e tfe,.
of the Commercial, stilts himself npou his
black-leg dignity, and after his usual idi
otiemumbling about the Courier’s -'spite,
hate and venom,” declines to notice our
honest and just strictures upon the course
of that paper, in giving publicity and en
dorsement to Bullock’s slanderous procla
mation, because the editor of the Courier
was not “a gentleman.'*
When our social status becomes of suffi
cient interest to the people (o demand a
public discussion, it will be time enough to
repell the dirty personalities of this high-
toned and honorable gentleman, but until
that is done, we shall confine our duties to
the defence of our outraged people, and to
the condemnation of the foul injustice
sought to be saddled upon them by the in
famous tyrant that lords it over us.
If the Commercial knew anything at all,
it would have known that this slanderous
array of Ku Klux horrors was proclaimed
by Bullock for political effect only, and not
for any purpose of justice; and 1 nowing
this, we felt an honest indignatiou (and not
a venomous spite, as the ‘ feeble and dc-
crcpid lunatic” foolishly supposes) that it
should send it abroad without one word
raised in behalf ot the people it slandered.
Other papers in the State have, and are
now condemning the outrage, and since the
stilted gentleman cannot condescend to an
swer our charges, we respectfully refer him
to the following from the Savannah News,
as we find it copied and endorsed in the
Augusta Constitutionalist :
additional offender, and calling on the pro-
pie to put down the Ku-KIux business.
The purport of this is plain. It is Gov
ernor. Bullock’s contribution to the cause of
Southern calumny and Radical despotism,
and the viler because done under tic hyp-
ocritio guise of seeming opposition to the
Kn Klux measure. This timely collation
of Ku Klux outrages, industriously collec
ted for months, secretly filed away for a
grand explosion and now fired in one formid
able volley at public cost under the Execu
tive sanction*,'has all the merit of the most
super shrewd partisan strategy to commend
it. It is sly. It is opportune. It is per
tinent. It is ingenious. It is cloaked in
seeming fairness.. Itgiv^s procf in bulk
to the existence <?f the Ku Klux. Ah,
but is a cute thing. It is well gotten up.
It is a job fixed to suite the case. Wc say
in all candor, that the devilish malignity of
this thing could not be surpassed. Rufus
has simply outdone himself.
mostly in the upper section of the State.—
He will pay five thousand dollars for the
arrest and conviction of one of each kn
klnx party, and one thousand dollars for
each additional member of the clan. He
will also pay the reward for the arrest of
any person who may, in tuture, be guilty
of kn klnx outrages.
The ku klux business is too much .of a
money making affair to be given up by
Bullock and his clan entirely to Grant and
Lis Federal understrappers. Hence it seems
that the Governor of Georgia and the Com
mander in .Chief of the Army and Navy
thereof, is determined to run an opposition
to Grant’s ku klnx law.
This fact explains his reported opposi
tion to that law. There is money iu the
patronage which the ku klnx business en
abled him to dispense omong bis organs,
and there is money in.the division of the
rewards, besides various other little pack
ings and stealings in the shape of fees, in
cidental expenses, etc, which Bullock has
no disposition to relingnish in the interest
of Grant’s re-nomination.
The slander mills throughout the State
must have been busily employed during the
past two or three months to have gotten Up
such a formidable array of ku klnx Out
rages, which nobody had jever‘heard : of
until paraded in Bullock’s proclamation.
Or if the veteran Thompson is not up to
the standard of Mr. Doctor Colonel James
F. Shankiin, Managing and Political Editor,
etc., etc., of the Commercial's respectabili
ty, we would refer him to the following
from the Macon Telegraph :
Gov. Bullock seems to have waked up
all of a sudden to a sense of his duty iu
running tho great ku klux engine ot Grant
and Morton. Tho old concern had broken
down iu Georgia. The old State is pro
foundly quiet. The people are suffering
under but one trouble, and that is a scarci
ty of tho circulating medium, when all at
once the Governor bursts out m that sur
prising rehash of stale outrage stories,
scarcely one of which, we dai e say, if it
has foundation in fact, is not susceptible of
some explanation which would unfit it foi
the use to which lie puts it.
The proclamation is a rehash ia scratim
of the etalo, or doubtfnl, or exploded raw-
head and bloody bone stories of. months
past, laboriously grouped together foreffect
—evidently in tho merest party interest.—
It is a picture of so-called Georgia violences
dressed up for outside show—a document
to cite and quote from in kn klux commit
tee reports and forthcoming campaign doc
uments. It is a foretaste of what is com
ing—a beginning of ihewar of unsparing
slander and defamation, which will not
oeasc till the polls are closed in 1872
Some complain that such documents
should appear iu our columns, but there, in
truth is the precise place which any offi
cial papers of such a stamp and animns
ought to appear. The people should know
exactly what is done, and gnbernatorial
charges of this character should bo spread
broadcast that they may provoke refutation
Let the organs of the public sentiment and
public voice in the various counties con
cerned canvass this bill of indictment and
expose its unfairness and fallacy. And fi
nally let the whole people prepare for a re
lentless moral watfare and the reign of vil-
lification.
This is the grand ka klnx programme of
tho administration, and there is not a po
litical community on God’s green cartb
which, judged by a mere naked registry of
misdeeds and disorders, would not appear a
little better than pandemonium.
There, you have it from a piper that
publishes the proclamations itself, bat tnis
fact did not s'lencc the indignant scorn that
rose in its soul against the foul outrage.—
We did not ccnsnre the Commercial for
publishing the slander, but for publishing
it in approving silence.
Here is what the Atlanta Constitution
says about it:
“Just at this opportune junctnre, when
the investigation committee are preparing
to resumo their labors opon Southern on -
ragcSj'and when Dictator Grant is giving
us his preliminary manifesto on tho Ku-
Klnx question, aod in furtherance of the
vile Ku Klux law, onr Executive, Govern--
or Bufus B. Bullock, who expressed him
self to a reporter of the Cincinnati Com
mercial as rather opposed to the Ku-Klux
bill, and as complimenting Georgia order,
all of which we gave our readers- a few
days ago, now steps in, and, at the cost ■ of
the public, publishes a column proclcma
tion giving a lengthy inventory of Ku-
Klnx-ontrages in Georgia for the last three
months, offering a reward of five thousand
dollars, with evidence to convict* for ono of
fender, and one thousand dollars for each
All of this list of persons have been Ku-
Klured, according to Gov. Bullock, and
‘be above reward is offered for the Kj
Kluxers.
Wo are able to state that in the rase of
Andy Guerrin, of Cherokee county, there
is good reason to believe that the Governor
has information that the Ku-Klnx were
Radicals. Guerrin is a negro who voted
the democratic ticket. And when the
matter is sifted out wo believe that every
case .will prove to be an instance of Radi
cal revenge, or else a case gotten up to put
in this proclimation and furnish food for
the Ku Klux law.
It is pitiable that the State is thns to be
insidiously and treachcrouslo stabbed. Thc-
proclau ation papers now get another fat -
sop to slander Georgia, and helD Governor
Bullock aid Ku-Klux crucifixion. Let ns
see if they will hold up this thing in its
truo light, and] expose the duplicity,of the
j Executive. The cost of the vile thing will
be somewhere near one hundred dollars to
the Slate for every journal that publishes
it, or between two thousand and twenty-
five hundred dollars in the aggregate.
Let our people hold their meetings as
Gov. Bnllock hypocritically asks, and de
nounce these ku-klnx outrages. Let' the
Grand Juries investigate them. Let ns
omit notliiog to rebuke the slander against
our peace and order.
And we will be much obliged, if our rea
ders iu the counties above mentioned, will
send us accurate accounts of the true facts
about the cases mentioned, as iar as they
can be obtained, for publication.
Is the Constitution too far below the
dignity of the Commercial to be answer
ed?.
In this cooocction wc have to amend
onr statement relative to the school house
affair upon the plantation of Wesley Shrop
shire, by stating that the school house was
not touched at all—had not cvcnbcen built,
but tho negro was ordered to desist from
building it; and thatuo colored girl teach
er of tho school was threatened at all.
And further that no school had been in op
eration, and consequently none was broken
up. And further that the negroes had a
church whithin half a mile of tho Forest
Grove Academy, aud the white citizens of
the community offered to assist them in
building a school house at the church, but
they refused and insisted on puling it side
by.side, with tho white academy —and not
until after all peacoable remonstrances had
been made in vain, was the virtue of a few
well merited stripes applied. While our
desire for peacelcads ns to condemn violence,
even of the law aud while wo would not
encourage irresponsible agencies in right-
thc wrong, yet in this instance wc arc
free to confess that we would not have hes
itated one moment in joining the party
that protected their cherished institution,
nor would we have troubled ourselves with
a disguise to have done it in.

From the Selma Time’s press dispatch}
es wo glean tho following.
Ulysses I, the Czar, bicmnes alarmed jar
the saf tj/ of his ji'>ica-~The pmfile of
the Yankee Universe mwrmnr against the
tyranny of Ulysses 1—He, calls a council
of Ills chief nrinisUrs, to devise means to
strengthen his poi:ir—His ministers decree
him poicer—He seeks the yhostly army' oj
the Kn.Klux as a pretext for his poiecr—
He calls upon his King's for Ku Klux. out
rages—Rufus Behemoth, the infernal Bul
lock responds to the call, and sets his tribe
of Snitlles to irark, to ferret out the Ku
Klitx.
1. Now it came to pass that Ulysses I,
the high and mighty ruler of the Yankee
Univorse, was a monarch of great power,
and of but little sense.
2. And he was moreover a monarch of
vile principles and most indecent trickery.
3. And he oppressed the people of the
Yankee Univciso with tho weight of his
power, and with tho sting of his indecent
spite.
4. And because of the oppressions, of
Ulysses I, did the people of the Yankee
Universe begin to murmur, and to long for
the time to come, even the ides of Novem
ber, when they could be relieved of the ty
ranny of Ulysses I.
5. And when Ulysses I was told by his
servauts, and his chief mil isters, that the
people of tho Yankee Univetsc did mur
mur against the tyranny of Ulysses I, then
was Ulysses 1 vexed in his heart and trou
bled in his mind.
6. For Ulysses I feared the anger of the
people, and he wanted tn strengthen his
power and his hand against the people that
he might forever oppress the people.
7- For the voice of the people, through
the elections, throughout the Yankee Uni
verse, had arose loud against the friends and
creatures of Ulysses I, to rebuke the tyran
ny of Ulysses I.
8. And Ulysses I called unto him his
chief Ministers aud adviscra, and when
they had gathered around Ulysses I, he said
unto them : “What shall I do to be saved?”
9. Aud then did his chief ministers and
advisers consult with one another to deter
mine what they should do to strengthen the
power of Ulysses I.
10. And the chief ministers and servants
of Ulysses I, after they had consulted one
with the other, and also with Ulysses I,
determined to overturn the law of their
fathers, and to make Ulysses I not only a
ICiDg, but a Czar.
11. And they gave Ulyssesjpower to cast
his enemies in prison, and to try them by
court martial, and to quarter his soldiers
upon them.
12. And to the end that Ulysses I might
have the semblance of law for his power,
they agreed that Ulysses should coojure in
to existence a ghostly army of Ku Klnx.
13 And when Ulysses had conjured in
to being a ghostly army of Kn Klux, then
was UlyBses I to send down his army of sol
diers to suppress the ghostly army of the
Kn Klux. ‘ i-
14. And it came to pass that when the
decree of the chief ministers and advisers
of Ulysses I was made known to Ulysses
I, then was Ulysses I rejoiced thereat.
15. And Ulysses I straightway issued Ins
decree against the ghostly army of the Kn
Klnx, and sent his Captain forth to fight
the Kn Klux.
1G. But when the Captain of Ulysses I
went forth to fight the ghostly army of the
Ku Klnx, lo and tchold the ghostly army
of the Kn Klux could not be fonnd.
17. Then was Ulysses I troubled, because
the ghDs'-ly army of the Kn Klux could
net be found, and he straightway sent a de
cree unto his Kings, whom he had appoint
ed over the people of the land of the South
commanding them lo conjure for him and
hts Captain an army of the Ku Klux.
18. And it came to pass that when Bn-
fus Behemoth, tho Bullock, the King, re
ceived the decree or Ulysses I, then was he
rejoiced in his own vile and venomons
heart.
19. And lie laughed unto himself saying
ah ha, ah ha.
*20. And then straightway did the King
send out letters to all the tribe of Sniffles
in the whole land of Georgia, saying unto
them:
21. Write me, I command yon, the most
Lorrid tales of the Kn Klnx, that I may
send the same to my Master, Ulysses I. If
you know of the trnth, write it, and if yon
do not, write it anyhow.
22. And then were the tribe of the Snif
fles let loose upon the scent, and they be
came :iucy ns their lying instincts could
make them, hunting up and making lies
for the King.
23. And from every quarter of the land
of Georgia went up to the King the lying
reports of the tribe of the Sniffles.
24. And when the King had received
the lying reports that came np from the
Sniffles, then did be gloat over the same aA
the debanebed mistress of a brothel' gloatA
over the accession of one poor rained eoal.
25. And the King look the lying reports
of the tribe of the Sniffles, and together
with his chief servant and his fugleman,
did he assort them ont and arrange' them
in order.
26. And those reports which, wrae true,
he touched with the crimson stain of his
malignity, aud held them forth as tho woof
ot his report to his Master, Ulysses I.
. 27. And those which were false, he cun-
ningly Trove into Stis woof, so that woof ah 1
web made a story that had the appearance
of troth.
28. And a part of this cunningly devised
tisane of the Kn Klux truth and lies con
- rned tho people of the Nnrth part of
Georgia.
29. And straightway did the King send
eut to his proclamation papers, throughout
the land of Georgia, tho lying reports that
bis tribe of the Sniffes ha] made.
30. And this did the King to the end
that strangers abroad might see it, and see
ing they might believe.
An Error.—It is alway tho best to err
on tbc safe side, and in error wc made in
onr article on Railroad figures, in onr last,
weakens instead of strengthc-umg. onr .ar

Joe Brown’s successful administration, for
four years, we put it at $1,140,000, when
it ought to have been §300,000, giving a

instead of only SCO,000.
i . .'Communicated.
TV. L. Prentice,
Eds. Courier—W. L. Prentice is.elec
tioneering against “Scott of Floyd,” the
Democratic nominee. It is ramored that
the radicals, srallaicags aud ntgtoes of Rome
arc all for him and against Scott, on the
ground that Scott had the negro members
turned - oat of the Legislature.
Is tho rumor true?
He says again that he is a farmer, and
better understands what the farmers need.
Is be a farmer, and where is his farm ?
Again, it is said that he is a profes
sional chicken fighter, and that is Lis'chief
occupation.
Again, it is said that his election will be
considered a radical victory, for two rea
sons : First, because, if elected, be will oc
elected by radical votes. Second, because
if he is elected, that he is inelligible and
cannot take his scat; because he is recent
ly from the State of Alabama, where he
held office for eight years, and has never
had his disabilities removed. Hence, every
vote cast for him will weaken the Democra
cy, and strengthen the Radicals.
How is this? Voter.
These questions mast be answered by

he raked a Radical Congress to remove his

he is inelligible to his seat in the Legisla

thrown away.

IN JIEMORIASI-
Mary L. Brooks died at the residence of
her father, W. J. Brooks, in Rome, Ga.,on
the 18th of May, 1871, after an illness of
less tliq|i 48 boors. Born April 25,1856,
she had jnst. entered her 16th year, fall of
youthful hope and promise, when she was
suddenly cut down “as a flower of the
field.”
There is a mclancholly pleasure ia com
memorating the virtues of one wo love,
and in this there is special fitness, when the
life we have lost was fresh and fragrant as
the opening rose. Memory secures to ns
this sad, yet sweet satisfaction.
The childhood of Mary had its shadows
as well as sunshine. She lost in succession
a devoted mother, a dearly loved brother,
a id a sweet infant sister. These shadows
doubtless contributed to the formation of a
character siagulariy patient,-self-sacrificing
and pure.
Iu the autumn of 1870, on a public pro
fession of her personal faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, she was baptixed aud received
into the fellowship ot the Rome Bap
tist Church. This profession could meke
but little change in her outward life,
but proofs of the spirit’s work of grace iu
her heart were not ‘'-wanting. The foil >w-
^ extract from one of her letters, written
soop after the death of her little sister, re*
veals the tone and strength of her piety.
“Wc weep for our lost one, hut we'kuow
God has taken her for a wi3o purpose. He
only loaned her to us and. just long enough
to fix our hearts, and thcn'He took her to
His own happy Lome. May this cause us
to draw nearer to our merciful Father, that
when we die, we may meet our darling.”
The eldest daughter, manifesting an ami
able disposition, unaffected piety, and bright
promise, it was but natural that she should
be most tenderly loved by all l he family,
circle. The affection lavished upon her,
she'repaid with a love so devoted and un
selfish as to-win from paternal lips this out
burst of the heart’s devotion, “she was the
angel of the household.” -
The esteem in which she was held by. a
large circle of friends is best evidenced by
the following lines from her beloved tea
cher. “I cannot refrain from rendering to
you, her Pastor, fhe united testimony of
Teachers and school-mates that her daily
walk and conversation was with God. Pre
eminently gentle, studious and lovely In char
acter, she had wound herself closely around
our hearts, and we deeply mourn her loss.
Truly we had an angel with us and knew
it not.' With her lamp ever trimmed and
burning, she was ready for-the Master’s
summons. Having exchanged His service
on earth for the ‘white robe* and crown in
Heaven, she ha3 left us a’swect example of
frith and patience, by which she ‘being
dead yet speaketb." ’
Thus loved and cherished, her life was
beautiful and happy. Her early death
teaches us the frailty and certain dissolution
of all earthly loveliness. We check and
soothe the grief of onr hearts with the as
surance that flowers of sanctified beauty are
but transplanted, to bloom forever id the
Paradise of the redeemed. L. R. G.
