LAWYEKS ) Yith^Legal forms; a i the Cnu-ier 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 gument. In alluding to the net gain of 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 b.dance in favor of the l;aso of 8240,000, 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 Mr. Prentice. lie is recently from Ala bama; he did hold office over there; whether he raked a Radical Congress to remove his disabilities or not, we cannot say—if not, he is inelligible to his seat in the Legisla ture, and every vote cast for him will be thrown away. He docs sometimes fight chickens. It is understood that the Radicals of Romo are for him to defeat Scott. 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.
