FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 18
THE FLECTION IN KENTUCKY.
Tnc result of the State election in Ken
tucky, must be gratifying to the friends of
Constitutional Liberty throughout the
land. The Democracy :—the grand old
Simon Pure Democracy, standing upon a
true Democratic platform, without a tinct
ure of the new departure in it, and with
true and tried Democratic leaders, recog
nizing living issues, went into this fight,
and staked its success upon the Bourbon
issue. AdU just as the truth where man
fully upheld, will always prevail, the tri
umph of its principals and its candidates
was perfect aud complete.
A majority of 35,000 has already been
ascertained, and the probabilities are, that
it will be increased to 40,000. And this
too in the face of over 40,000 negro votes,
east solidly agaiast.it. Nogro votes forced
upon the freedmen of Kentucky, by a^Rad-
ical Congress, and sought by the New
Departures to ba fixed unalterable upon
them.
The Radicals put forth their strongest
man, and let out their last link, but the old
Bourbon stool the shock, and not to be
frightened by the silly ravings of the Cone
irr-Joumal about revolutionist, the no
ble sons of Kentucky, upheld the proud
flag of Democracy, without loworirg it one
inch towards the dust.
We say three times three, for Kentucky
and the Sirnou Pure Democracy.
TIIE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.
The Radicals are claiming a grand vic
tory in North Carolina. The election was
upon, the adoption or rejection of the new
Constitution. The Democratic legislature
having framed and substituted it to the peo
ple it was regarded as a Democratic meas
ure. The test however was not a fair one
as the doubtful legality of the act submit-
ing it to the people, and the threat made
by Grant’s puppy-dog Ackerman, that the
usurpator’s arm of the Federal despotism
would be raised to crush it down if adopted,
detcred many, and some of the best Demo
crats in the State from supporting it.
The issue was an unfortunate oae and
ought not to have been made. Its failure
will only encourage the Radicals with a
new hope.
Wc should never move, unless we know
that we were perfectly right, aud then let
our blows be strong as they are sure. We
cannot afford to be experimenting, but must
be sure we are right, then go ahead.
The Democracy of North Carolina is all
right and Grant may hug tho delusion if
he chooses, that this election secures the
State to him iu 1872, but he is wofully mis
taken. This election was not a test, and,
as a proof of it, the smali vote polled evin
ces.
The following officers were unanimously
eleected:
President, A. II. Colquitt.
1st District, Vice President, Wm.
Schley. Member of ex, Com. A. D. Ca
pers.
2tul Dish id, Vice President, D. A-

ard. Ex. Com., Wm. Phillips.
Mr. John Calley was elected a member
of the Executive Committee, from the 2nd
District, in place of B. G. Lockett, resign
ed.
There was no opposition, in any of the
Districts, and the vote for Gen. Colquitt,
was taken by rising, amid vociferous cheers.
Gen Colquit thanked the Convention for
the flattering expression of their confidence,
in a brief but felicitous address.
To-day it is expected that the discussion
in the appropriation of the Law Script lor
the benefit of the Uuiversity of Georgia,
will be tho leading feature of the day.
On motion of Mr. xVdarns of Monroe,
the regular or ler was resumed.
STOCK HOLDERS MEETING OF THE
NORTH AND SOUTH R. It.

[Correspondence ol the Courier.
New York, July 31,1871.
Mr. Editor:
Haviug but little to do, perhaps it is
best to write you agaio of matters and things
in general. We came through from Wash
ington to New York in day time, and had a
fine Opportunity to observe the country. AH
the way it is in a fine state of cultivation
and very highly improved. Doticd all ov
er with fine residences of modem style well
painted, and tl e lawns and grounds well
eared for. every thing looks lovely and in
viting. l'ct I am fully and entirely satis
fied that ours by nature is a far superior
country We can make better grass, clov
er aud wheat. What we lack is work, io
dustry and economy and in that regard we
are wofully deficient.
Our old labor system has been destroyed,
and bve have a poor and unreliable substi
tute for it. It will take at least one gener
ation to bring us up to the true standard
Satisfied that we must work out the prob
lem for ourselves we ought to look thin;
in tho face as they are, and provide for the
future. To do this we need only turn a
po tion of our energies to the improvement
of our stocc, and our land. Raise fine cat
tle, horses and hogs, make our own fertili
zers, and make no cotton, except tbesur
plus. Let every man have a rich cotton
patch of a lew acres, an! no one have a
cotton field. If our people will pursue this
policy for five years, they will never aban
don it, and we will find onrselves prosper
ous, happy, contented and growing rich
Then we will fully understand the value
of our section and never before. To do
this we must rest from other distracting
causes, we want repose.
Never since the day that Cain slew Abel
have any people been called on to bear more
than we. A cruel war of four years, wa;
ed against us by an enemy that were four
to oDe, and by a government that bad pow
cr to blockade our ports; aud credit suffi
cient to hire help from the nations of Eu
rope it was impossible that wc could con
quer. The war was carried on against us
in utter violation of the roles that govern
civilized Christian States, aod Governments
non combatants were shot down in cold
blood, our old men were hung and robbed
our houses searched and burned and one
universal plunder of the property of i he
people whenever the army of the United
States marched; aud to fiuish the wrongs in
flicted upon us, our property in slaves that
our fathers purchased with gold from the
fathers of our enemies, was destroyed by a
proclamation from President Lincoln,in ut
ter violation of the Constitution ot both sec
tions of the Union. And if it were possi
ble to degrade us to a lower depth, oar en
cmies made citizens, voters, and officers of
our former slaves, and to make them equal
tj the white race before the law, they ac
tually made them superior iu point of po
litical rights, for at the same time that the
brutal savage negro was enfranchised, every
white man in ihe Confederate States who
had ever enjoyed the confidence of the peo
ple, and held an office as high as justice of
the peace was disfranchised, and declared
ineligible to hold office. We have borne
these things with heroic pbiplosophy,and to
day the peaceful quiet condition of the
South is the sublimcst spectacle ever pre
sented to mankind.
The people of the North arc astonished
themselves at our quiet submission. One
of tiic funniest things that has happened
for years is the organization of a committee
of the two houses of Congress to investigate
the -Ku Klux” doings at the South. The
countiy will soon be flooded with the par
tisan report of this inquisition, and if half
we hear is true, such a tale of ‘Yaw head
and bloody bones” has never eliminated
from aDy committee, it will do to scare
children to sleep for the next generation
Will the sober thinking people of the
United States of all sections pause and
think what our condition was at tho close
of the war.
The negro race was nearly equal outlier,
icaly to the white race. Congress bylaw
made tnem tlie wards of the Gnverment,
furnished them with provisions and clothes,
and sent the Army down to protect them
in idlenss and impudence. A brutal
norant enslaved raeo of forr millions of peo
ple wen set free among their former owners
fed by the public Treasre, and protected,
by the Army, aud made voters eligible to
office, when nearly one half their former
owners could not even vote at the election
of the convention that unde the funda
mental organized law, can’t yet hold office
Oar people knew and understood the eba-
actcristics of the negroes while a few were
among the great majorty, felt safe and se
cure until the Carpet Bagger wit'i the Union
League orgaozation and organized tho whole
negro voting element into a secret organ
ization, that held their Secret Sessions and
only at nightin ihedark. Iu some sections
the colored race greatly predominated and
danger was apprehened, not from the negro
if left to himself, but the demonical Car
pet Bageer was there, much meaner than
the negro—is it wonderful that in such a
condition of affairs the white people should
take some steps to protect society—I have
not known anything of wno was “Ku
Klux.” I have never known positivlly
that there were any. I am satisfied that
some organization ought to have ex-'sted-and
did exist for the protection of our women
and children, our firesides and household
gods; we would have degenerated below
“brutish beasts” if some measures had not
been taken for protection and defence. I
have never had but one objection to the
organization—it was in danger of being oc
casionally used by thoughtless youug men
imprudently. I for one justify tho move
ment of the good men who organized for
protecticn not for aggression. He who tes
tefies or reports that it was for political
uses and pnrposees cither don’t know or
very greatly exaggerates. Now all know
that in yonr county where tho white people
number two to one of negro voters
at (he first election after the war, under
the head of the Union League, the negroes
took the polls and scarcely a white man voted
on that day. Tho white people could not
hare voted on that day withont a violent
collision, prudent men advised them not to
have any disorder and they prudently ob
tained from voting on that day. I have
been intimately familiar with the elections
and hare never know any violene or threats
used to prevent negroes from voting as
they pleased, except by other negroes and
radicals whites—and every man in your
county will coroborate this who loves the
truth and hates falsehood.
‘The fact will be soon learned by the
people of the North, that the negro be
gins to undesiand his true interest. ' He
is beginning to learn that his worst enemy
is the “carpet bagger.” He now tnows
what it was that brought the ‘Sko vhega-
nite’ from Maine to the South. In every
manner possible the negro has been decei
ved by him. He came to plunder the
Tresurys of the States. So do this posi
tion, and political power had to be obtained
by the vote of the negro.
But, they killed the goose that laid the
go'den egg, aud in the language of oue of
the pluderers ‘they have left nothing for
those who are to come after them.” Al
ready they are fleeing from the f- w rath to
come” aud on are their way back trom tho
dens from whet ce they came. They stop
at Washington City, and swera like onr
‘Army in Flanders.”
Such a snatching of carpet sacks as will
ta'-e place in the South this winter, has
not been seen in modern times. Those
who raised and owned the negro, care most
for his wellfsre; they are his best friends
and as soon as they can get their consent to
electioneer with tho negro, will controle his
vote.
It is not intended to cast the slight
est reflection on the man from the North
who lives in our midst, aud pursues his
manly business and follows the occupation
of an honest man. On the contrary they
are welcomed by our people, and fairly and
justly dealt with in all respects, if he re
frains from social degradation.
We have looked into the political situa
tion and cau say that although there is
stroug opposition to President Grant, in
the Republican Party, it cannot bo concen
trated on any particular man, and he will
be again nominated. His power and pat
ronage is of vast proportions, and gives
him an immense advantage—8500,000,000
of pluuder per annum for four years is a
great stake to play for. We must not un-
deratc this. There is another clement of
strength against ns. No one now knows
the amount of stealing and theiving that
has been done by tho Republican Party in
the last ten years—and will never discover
it until the Democratic Party corno in pow
er—to prevent this disclosure, those who
are guilty will make a great effort to re
tain their power.
The Republicans feel themselve,
great danger, and are catching at every
straw of comfort. Tho “Times of Now
York” pretends to have discovered great
frauds in the municipal Government of this
city, aud goes back to g period when its
own political friends had control to prove
its case. Until quite recently the Legis
lature of the State was Republican and
took charge of the city, and no one will
doubt but stealing was th'cn doue, and it
is this period of administration to which
attention is called by the “Times.” The
trick is too shallow and can’t win. In this
city the Irish element is very strong. An
effort has been made to divide them but it
cau’t succeed, aud the Republicans will
finally fall tack ou “Ku Klux,” and rebel
violence. This will 'make up their whole
political stock iu tiade in less than six
morths.
On the vital political issues before the
country the public verdict is against them,
and unless we do something that will ena
ble them to keep up malignant hate to
wards us the Democratic Party, will as
surely acheive a glorious victory in the
next Presideutial election, as the Ides of
November 1872 come. Now what is our
duty iu the South at this hour of peril. It
is not to change our principles aod aban
don the ideas of former ages, or 'he tradi
tions of the fathers. What have we to do
with Ohio or Pennsylvania party platforms?
We feel that we are able to attend to our
State party platform. Why not let Ohio
and other Sta’es do the same. Why
should our party in the South be called oo
to divit’e on such ao inadequate occasion
Why can we not remain quiet and let the
Democrats of Ohio and Pennsylvania fight
the battle in their own States on their own
platform. In relation to the recent amend
meats to the Constitution we can abide by
them until they are set aside by the courts,
or other proper aathoritics, or at the “Bal
lot Rox ” W c propose to oppose such
of them as are hostile to our section in
every peaceable manner. But wc cannot
hope to give any effectual opposition to
them while the Republicans hold the Gov
ernment in all its departments. Executive
Legislative and Judicial.
Is it nut time euocgh to agitato these
things when the National Democratic Con
vention assembles to lay down the princi
ples of the party faith. Have faith in our
political friends and party associates and
there is no danger of error. The past his-
tory of tho grand old Democratic Party of
tho United States is a safe and sure guar
anty that they will prove temsslves equal to
the emergency. They will by their wise ac
tion prove thc-mselvcs to be worthy Scions
of their honored political ancestors. Be
not deceived or deluded by men of one
idea who have an axe to grind, bo firm, be
united, and victory will perch on our ban
ner, and on the 4th of March, 1873, Thur
man, Hancock, Hendricks or some other
Democrat will walk into (ho White House
at Washington, President of the United
States of America. . ... a—

From Ihe Talladega Watch Tower.
A ‘Dastardly” Insinuation.
The following article, which we copy by
sentences from the Star Journal, of the 6 th
inst., contains a dastardly insinuation.
“A Dastabdly Outrage.—A dispatch
informs us that incendiaries have burned
the office of the Sun newspaper at Talla
dega." N
If the Journal’s correspondent knows
that incendiaries bnrned the office of the
Sun, perhaps he could, if pnt on the stand,
tell their names. Of course the correspon
dent of the Journal when he sent the dis
patch knew nothing about the 20 or
825,00 worth’ofproperty that was destroyed
besides the Sun office.
The Sun was a Republican organ, moder
ate, bigh-toned nod conservative. It op
posed the policy and principles of the so-
called Democratic party; We forkear com
ment and await particulars.
It would have been better for the Jour,
nulif it had foreborne to make the false and
dastardly insinuation contained in the fol
lowing sentence:
‘fit cannot he possible that'iae Democra
cy fears discussion, and havo again blown
the Ku Klux bugle.”
No. it is not possible that the Democracy
fears discussion and we for ourselves and
in the name of the Democratic party of
Talladega, protest against the base, unman
ly insinuation contained in the remarks of
the Journal that the Democracy are, in
any way or manner, responsible for the fire
of last Saturday morning, in which about
825,000 worth of property, including about
82000 represented by the Talladega Sun,
and at least foar-fifLhs ot the remainder of
which belonged to Democrats.
OUR KU-KLUX SWEARERS.
Wc have it from reliable authority that
the Ku Klux swearers who represent our
county in the den at VV’ashington swore to
a pretty mess of bosh. Among other teri-
bic outrages committed by the Ku Klux it
was sworn by one of the pretty pinks’that a
Democratic editor of Rome was made to
dance in the mud for half an linor, and
this they made him do because they mistook
him for another individual.
Oh those ku klnxes are a terrible set of
fellows.
The price of this fellows testimony, was
to be tho governorship of a western Terri
tory, but his modesty was too transparent,
aud he will not get his prize. We under
stand that a New York Herald roporter,
has a copy of this man's evidence, as also
of our other representatives,and (hat these
then,will be soon published, word for word,
and then our country will he susprised at
the mendacity cf men who live among ns
Liquid Manure.
A correspodent of tho Country Gentle
man, (W. Tyrone, Pa.,) gives the following
direction for making a liquid manure of
great value for application to flower-beds,
gardens etc. In this connection I will
mention that I have used, for several years
a liquid manure, which is very effective in
pushing off the growth of vegetables, straw
berries. roses, grass, etc. My first test of
it was (lie pouring of a stream from a wa
tering pot across a piece of poor grass op
posite a post which served as a mark.—
There was soon a distinct wave, as bold
and as gre.-n asttelineof a fairy ring.—
This season Bhow half a row of peas and
halfabedof strwberries, very superior to
the other half, to exhibit the application.
It is chiefly, I suppose, sulphate of ammo
nia, and is made thus: To one gallon of
stale brine (at least one week old) in a deep
wooden vessel or crock, add two ounces of
sulphuric acid. Next day put in a couple
of ounces of chalk or lime, to take up any
acids remaining free. Stir. Put a pint
of this into a pail of water, and usedwice a
week on growing plants, and preferably
when the ground is wet, as it diffuses then
among the feediug points of the roofs bet
ter.
Marketing Grain.
\Y e have occasionally inquiries as to the
propriety of disposing of grain as soon as
ready for market, or holding it for a rise
later in the season. We can not with pr>
priety advise in a matter on which so many
men have widely different ideas, yet there
are some circumstances in which the farmer
may find himseli in doubt as to which coarse
should be followed, and make a man’s inter
est. First. A farmer should go to market
withont loss of time when other parties
have an interest in his crop. If the mer
chant has been promised a part of the pro
ceeds, it is only strict honesty to fulfill the
promise at the earliest day. Second. It is
never wise for a farmer to borrow money
rather than sell his crap. He will after-
wn rds keenly Tegret this course. The anxie
ty of the speculator will consume him, and
even should he succeed in gaining an ad
vance, the cost of interest will doubtless eat
it up. If a farmer has money in hand and
grain in his barn, he is independent-of con
tingencies, and can do as he pleases; but
for all ethers, we think the sooner they go
to market, the better.
COSMOPOLITE.
Wc- surrender most of our editorial space
to day to the interesting letter from New
York. The writer's opportunities 'orohser-
ratiou are good and his political prophecies
arc not to bo despised. If we can only re
frain from playiDg into the hands of the
Radicals, pcssess our souls in patience, con
tinue to b ar the insults aod oppressions of
the tyrants who now lord it over us and re
main united and true to the time hon
ored principles of Democracy. The day of
onr deliverance will come just as sure as the
Ides of 1872 dawn upon the world.

Messrs J. &. S. Boxes k Co:—Pear Sirs:—I have given
the 16 inch Mill (Coleman’s) bought of you, a thorough test,
and can best express myself perfectly satisfied,
The Power applied was tie running gear of my Gin,
which, although in very bad order, was sufficient to grind
ONE BUSHEL of Cora, (by the watch), in ELEVEN
MINUTES.
I find it no trouble to do all my grinding before breakfast.
Several of my neighbors were present at the time, and all
were perfectly satisfied with the result, and astonished at
tLe quality of meal produced in so chort a iims. I prefer
the meal to any Steam Mill meal.
Respectfully yours,
H. H. MILLER.
P. S.—The second 16 inch Mill I bought of you for tbo
Foster farm, since the above wa3 written, has been tested
and works as well, or better, than the first. It is a com
plete Mill. * iHrjr* * .. *
