al tvorlli is m,f|ucsii'iiied, whose political
let ':;ri'_t is irreproachable, and who. as a
matter ofjustice, deserves ihe place, be
cause a tyranical Congress denied bitn the
seat bis people once honored him with, and
kept him aloof until but a few days before
the expiration of his term.
We do not make ’he question of elegi-
b : !ity a test of merit, nor urge that because
a man is eligible he is competent, but in
the matter of choosing a Senator the ques
tion of elegibility cannot be ignored, and
in the case ol Dr. Mill.-r tie have a man
who is not only eicgiUe,but eminently com
petent, and acceptable.
The question cf his admission to the Sen
ate in the event of bis election cannot be
problematical,as be has already been adrnit-
cd, and the matter of iiis disabilities set
aside No objection can be urged against
him upon that ground, and in voting for,
him members will not feel that they arc
throwing away their votes.
A venal Congress proscribed h ; m before
and deprived him of his seat until its term
was nearly expired. Let the Legislature
of Georgia return him to the place for a
new term, and thereby rebuke the injus
tice of Congress and vindicate tlie honor of
our State.
Cai*t Jeff. Head—We have hereto
fore alluded to the election of this sterling
Democrat to the House of Representatives,
from Harraison; but we cannot refrain
from again congratulating him and his
county, and the State, upon his election.
We need, jnst, such patriotic men as him
to represent us in the Legislature.
Speaker of the House of Befresen-
T vti ves.—< )ur belief irHthe good old Dem
ocratic doctrine, that the office ought to
seek (he man, and not the man the office,
constrains us to disregard the well-known
wishes and indentions of the lion. Dun
lap Scott; and to add oun: to ilie earnest
wishes of others, that the next House of
Representatives, will impose upon him the
honorable; but trying and responsible duty
of presiding over its deliberations. There
is no member of that honorable body, bet
ter capacitated 'or the position, and none
would better discharge the trust.
The Soeakership is of vast importance,
for upon the ski!], firmness and intelligence
of the speaker, depends in a great measure
the efficiency of the entire body. None
but the very ablest and best men
ought ever to bo entrusted with its respon
sibilities, and in insisting upon the services
of oir immediate Representative, we feel
that we are insisti igupon the best ini erests
of the State. His past services show that
he is competent, his unflinching courage
Dis iucorruptable integrity and I i., i'.-uli
mentary experi- nee,all conspire to ma e bin
the man for the place. It would be an honor
that North Georgia would appreciate, and a
confidence that would never be betrayed
The Alabama Fairs.
We are iudebted to 31. L. Wood, Esq,
Secretary of the Alabama Agricultural
aDd Mechanical Association for a compl'a-
mentary ticket to the second State Fair to
be held in Montgomery commencing Tues
day the 31st instant.
Our tliauks are also due the Hon. W.
M. Byid, Peesident of the Alabama Cen
tral Agricultural and Mechanical Associa
tion for an invitation to attend [the third
fair of the Association to be held in Selma
commencing Tuesday the 14 of November.
Roth of these Fairs promise to le highly in
teresting. and we hope to see our section
well represented *t them. The close rail
road connection between-our city and Mont
gomery and Selma makes us neighbors,
and we should eneourage a closer intima
cy between our citizens.
Failure of II. I. Kimball.—For several
days past rumors have been afloat to the ef-
-fect that II. I. Kimball had failed. The fol
lowing dispatch is the most definite s*r.fo
ment we hive seen in print:
Atlanta, October 24.—Parties are seizing
the rolling stock and ether property o.' the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad for debts
for iron for the road. No payments have
been made for some time. Kimball’s inabil
ity to meet bis obligations is said to result
from losses in the Chicago fire. Rumors are
current of the repudiation of the State bonds
hypothecated by him.
Gov. Bullock has se zed the road and placed
it in the bands of Col. John Scriven, of Sa
vannah ; he and R. P. Brown, attorney for
the road, have gone to New York to investi
gate the affairs of ihe company.
Many rumors are afloat, but nothing more
definite than the above.
TIIE FIRE IN MICHIGAN AND WIS
CONSIN.
The teirible fire that has recently devas
tated portions ol the Noi tli-West, are in
deed appalling. We give the following
which we clip from the Nctv York HrobV..
dispatches:
MICHIGAN.
Ihe new- from Sau Clair and Huron
counties of this date is of the most distres-
sing char cter. All that poitiou of tlie
State east of Sagina v Ray and north of a
point forty, iu les above Port Huron has
been completely swept by fire. A number
of pers-ms perished, and, it is feared, we
have not bcaid the worst.
VILLAGES BURNED.
The flour shing villages of Forestville,
White Rock, Elm Creek, Sandbench and
Huron City are entirely destroyed. Rock
Falls and Port Hope are partially destroyed.
Nothing has yet beeu heard from Port Austin
nr Port CresceLt, but it is hardly possible
they escaped. At all these towus there
were large stores, many of which were filled
with winter st- ek; extensive saw-uiills,
shingle mills and docks covered with 1
her. all of which have been swept away.
It is said there is but one dock left on the
shore about Forestville.
THE SUFFERERS.
A steamer which left Port Huron last
night for the relief ol I lie sufferers, return
id this on ruing with about forty uieu, wo
men and children, five of whom are severe
ly burned The revenue cutter Foss nden,
ith'eli slaiiLd for Port A stria, picked up
a sailboat on the lake, containing Issac
Green, principal owner of Forestville, to
getleer with his family and eighteen or
twenty others, who bad escaped the flames
at Forestville. The te'egraph operator at
Forestville escaped ihrough the fire back
into the country. All the telegraph offices
along the shore have been destroyed, but
communication will be restored as soon as
the damage done to the lines can be repair
ed. Five cbildien are known to have per
ished uear Rock Falls.
PROPERTY DESTROYED.
II. B. Hubbard, at Huron City, shot all
his fine horses and cattle to prevent their
perishing by fire. He loses very heavily,
having bad a large store, mills, docki, &c
The extensive Property of Stafford & Hay
ward, at Port Jope. is about the only one
which escaped. Five thousand dollars
was subscribed to-night for the relief of the
sufferers of this State.
The light rain of yesterday seems to
have greatly abated the fires throughout
the State, and it is believed the worst
passed. There is
SCARCELY A COUNTY
iu the State but what has suffered more or
less from lire, and the loss will amount to
h tudreds of thousand? of dollars. The
damage to the pine land is incalculable.
Sagioaw City only escaped dcs.i-uction
through the determined efforts of er citi
zens, who fought the fire back. The town
of Bridgeport was on!/ saved .,om destruc
tion by a shower of rainy- erday morning.
Charles Chandler’s barns, on his farm near
Lansing, were burred yesterday, together
with several fine ho es.
At Holland, on the east shore of Lake
Michigan, the (limes made

scarcely a building being left. The suffer
ings of the people wete ptomptly cared for
by the Mayor ami citizens of Grand Ha-
VCD.
Professor Charles Scott,of Hope College,
perished; also a minister, whose name was
not ascertained.
A CITY DESTROYED.
News hnsjust been received that the
largest portion ol the city of Manistee,
Mich.,Mias been destroyed by fire. Manis
tee is on the cast coast ol Lake Michigan, a
place of 4,000 in abitauts and one of the
greatest lumber producing towns in the
Strte. There is no tele raph station with
in thirty miles of the town. The fire com
menced at ten o’clock on Suuday night,
and’raged until five o’clock on 3Ionday
morning, destroying 200 buildings, six
large mills and a vessel lying at the dock.
Half of the entire town is burned. The
loss is estimated at 81,300,000.
WISCONSIN.
Chicago, Oct. 12, 1871.
A despatch has just been received from
Green Bay,Wis.. stating that a steamer had
just arrived bringing a report that 825
bodies were burned at Pishtego last night
and a3 many more are still missing.
SEVENTY-FIVE PERSONS
vere burned to death at Little Sturgeon
Bay, andthe suffering throughout the North
is terrible. With the exception of the loss
of property th# calamity is almost 03 appal
ling as the burning of Chicago
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN
were burned to death in a large barn in
which they had taken refuge. Hundreds
of people were driven by the flames into
the liver, where most of them perished.
A later despatch from Green Bay says
that on Sunday night a fire broke out in
the Belgian settlement of Brussels, in Door
county. Wis. destroying
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY HOUSES,
all the place contained excepting five.
Nine pers ins are missing. It is supposed
they perished in the flames. The inhabi
tants lost everything. Active measures lor
their relief are being taken at Duluth and
other places, but before assistance can
reach them they must suffer severely.

Congressional Ku Klux Commit
tee.—A sub-committee of this iniquitous
body is now holding its sessions in Atlan
ta. Several witnesses have been summoned
from this county, and we may look out for
rich developments. The Spanish inquisi
tion was not more disgraceful and danger
ous than is this rotten concern. Col. Saw
yer has been summoned to appear befoie
the committee, and will leavo for Atlanta
tc-day. They will be very apt to worm all
the secrete of the order out of him. “Yon
bet.”
On yesterday we had the pleasuie of a
call from W. D. Chiplev, Sccretaiy and
Treasury, of the above Darned Rail Road
Company. He makes a very flattering ex
hibit of the actual accomplishments and
prospects of this great enterprise.
They are now at work, grading between
Columbus and Hamilton, some GOO hands
employed on twelve orfiLcen different sec
tions. The iron is purchased and track
laying will commence by the middle cl
November. With moderate good luck the
cars will be tunning to Hamilton, 22} miles,
by the 1st of Jlirch.
On the Rome end, the enterprise is mov
ing ou as rapidly as practical. The survey
to Cedar Town is • impleted, location made,
and actual gradin: will commence about
the 15th of November, under a reliable
contractor, with a large force.
Work will commence at LaGraoge also,
as soon as the Troup Couuty subscription
can be made available.
In this co inection we wish io make just
one remark. Withthese cvidcnccsof energy
and determination on the part of the Di
rectors of this Road, and with the work
actually progressing on the. Memphis
Branch, why can not every mail in this
community put his shoulder to the wheel
and roll Rome ahead to a state of glorious
prosperity. Great enterprises like these
need the harty co operation of all. While
we are proud to know that a large portion
ol onr citizens are willing to do their whole
duty iu these matters; yet if all would
crowd forward lor the front rank, the con
flict would soon be over. Let us then work
like a band of brothers, remembering that
•‘united we stand—divided we fall.”
The Result or the Election iu Pennsylvania,
We give below an extract from an edi
torial of the Jetfersoni :i,of thc!4th iastanl.
published in Westche. ier, Pei nsylvania.
from which our readers will see the views
entertained of the late election there, by
this able paper, and the cb : cf cause of the
result, a9 set foith in it—some wi icounsel,
also, as to the Tu! ere will be found : i he
extract, which is as fol’ows:
The reso't of last Taesd-y’s election can
not be considered a Democratic defeat. The
Republicans, t 0 be sure, carried the State,
but not against the Democrats. The Ninth
Resolution of the Uardisburg 0 iive.itio .
which a few corrupt D nocratict olitic'ans,
at the instance of Re-.ibl eans, succeeded
in having passed by the vl es of seventy-
six men, sealed the ta : of MeCandles-end
Cooper, and left to the true and hooes'
Democrats of the State a choice only be
tween two evils. The defeat of the State
ticket cannot and will not be considered a
cause for regret by a single Democrat in
the State.
The loss upon the co inty ticket, by which
the Radicals obtain control of the Senate,
and increases their majority in the House,
is t' e only thing that will cause grief. This,
to be sure, wrs to be expected, because the
party was so thoroughly disgusted and d : s
heartened that it was impossible to bring
them oat to the polls, notwithstanding they
knew that the next Legisla.j i would ap
portion the State into Congressiooal Dis
tricts for the next ten years. ' The result,
instead of bein ; discouraging, is dccidcVy
encouraging, for it demonstrates clca.’y
and plainly that the good old Democratic
party is as firmly as c r attached to the
teachings of Thomas Jefferson and oar
Democratic iusti j io is. It s ows that the
Democracy of I’cr -y’vania ca“ ot be sold
out by a few d’Gionest and truckling politi
cians to the enemies of flee gove mient,
and that hereafter as here are ' ey will
fight upon nrinciple, or not : . al . Away
with expediency and its advocates. An
other good result, which must necessarily
flow from the defeat of the New Depart
ures in this State and Ohio, will be the
unanimity of sentiment in the next general
convention. No such odious andanti-Deu o-
cratic doctrines as this ne_.ro departure
movement will ever hereafter be heard i f.
Another bon it to be derived will be
the retirement of our political leaders who
brought this disgrace and seeming defeat
upon the party. For some t'-ue past our
leaders have been ao Incubus upon the
party; they could not command the con
fidence of Democrats nor the respect of Re
publicans; they staked their all upon this
New Departure movement; have ignomioi-
ously and iogloriously (ailed, and must umv
retire to the rear ranks and let more honest,
more honorable and more^competent lead
ers take their places. Uuless this is done;
unless we have new leaders before the next
campaign; Grant will be the next Presi
dent.
We must hare a thorough and complete
reorganization of the Democratic party of
this State if we wish success. For years
past the party has been led by fourth-rate
politicians, and it is now time for our best
men to come forward and direct our move
ments.
Upon Democratic principles, led by true
and honest Democratic leaders, we can carry
this State by at least 30,000 majority. We
could have done it this year had we have
had a Democratic platform to stand and
work upon.—From the Atlanta Sun

stantii”y as follows:
Fellow Citizens an.l Gentlemen : A very
few days have elapsed since the telegraph
brought to us the news of the disaster,
startling and appalling, whcli had fallen
up in the peerless city of the Northwest
Nothing compares with the rapidity of its
progress, its grandeur aud beauty, except
the suddencss of the destruction which fell
upon it I do not purpose, to-night, to give
a discretion of that melancholy and appall
ing disaster. No language of mine could
do justice to the description. Ooe tithe of
the suffering aDd ruin more than fills the
heart to overflowing, and I shall not attempt,
by my words, to take awry, to diminish the
magnitude of the losses a .J suffering incur
red by its people. In the midst of the
c.-hmity so unparalleled as to startle and
shock the civilized world, there w re men
vile enough to be p’ indering the mined
and homeless population. These wretches,
these fiends in human form, were dealt with
by the exasperated people as such fiends
onght to be dealt with; and throughout the
North the fate which fell upon them in the
midst of their crime was applauded and
from one cad of the Union Jo the other.
I have selected a paragraph from the
newspapers descriptive of the vile excesses
committed by these criminals:
GANGS OP ARMED RUFFIANS
were everywhere patrolling about hunting
the ruins for plunder, aud breaking into
safes, without the slightest interference
from any one in authority. A remonstrance
was met with a blow of a bludgeon, aDd
few had the temerity to ii terfere, and the
brutes too seemed to have it all their owa
way. Heated with whisky and excitement,
they caused a complete reign of terror, and
where they came every one fled. The
Mayor bad issued another proclamation
directing ^
THE CLOSING OF THE SALOONS,
but uo attention was paid to it; the police
made no endeavor to enforce it and nine
cases out of ten were themselves intoxicat
ed. Even had they been closed, there was
plenty of whisky left; barrels of it were to
be found in all quart jrs, and they certainly
were treely broached. I never saw so many
under the influence of drink, and where
the roughs came from I cannot imagine. Full
as Chicago was with them I had never be
lieved she contained so many as I Baw on
the streets on Tuesday. Maay had come
' i from other cities; every train was bring
ing its contingent.
Such was the deplorable demoralization
of men who could, amid these scenes of
desolation, rain and suffering descend to the
pvt of the people of Chicago in
the defence of society in the midst of her
Grant and the Radical party. (Applause.)
In other words I do not see that we go
back on onr principles in making a choice
between candidates, neither of whom may
suit ns exactly—wo could all vote for a re
publican who was in favor of universal am
nesty, against the Ku Klnx bills, ’ (Ap
plause,) anfagainst the’military laws (pro
longed and enthusiastic applau-e) while
the most ancient Bnnrborn in the State of
Alabama eonld vote for snch a republican ,
will enable the people of the South to restore
their prosperity and bring about real peace
by the restoration of selfgovernment in your
midst [Applause.]
I know it is a very common thing, nowa
days, for the Radicals, whenever they are
in a tight place, when this accusation of
using padlic money is brought home to
(hem to point to Tammany in New York.

one in detail Nothin; can exceed the
wickedness and inhumanity of those m i
who have taken this occasiou to prey up- i
their fellow men.’
There is another circumstance connected
with this deplorable occurrence to which I

coming to the aid of the reken ichabit-

ing aspect of this most melancholy occur
rence.
Now, my fellow citizens, I desire briefly
to allude t> another picture of suffering
and disaster which I know 1 need not des
cribe to you, because it is burned into yonr
lieatts with a brand of iron. No d :3crr -
tion whica I could give of the suffering,
and enduranie, and want which fell upoc
tho entire South during and since the war.
eould do anything like justice to the sub
jeci. or ought to be attempted in the midst
of tt- ese people, who were the victims of that
suffering. The people South, during the
war, suffered the rn’n an 1 loss of all their
material wealth, far cxceed’ngin magnitude
even if compared with the population, that
which has fallen upon the people ot Chi
cago. They lest everything except the land
upon which they s'ood; bat with a courage
which they had taught their bravest an
tagonists to recogniio and respect durin
the war, [Applause.] which had excited
the admiration of the world, [renewed ap
plause,] they raised themselves up, resolved
to renew their prosperity and rescue those
who leaned upon them from suffering and
starvation
Years of disaster followed the war—the
loss of crops, hostile legislation, taxing the
products of their soil. When the govern
ment of Great Britain was guaranteeing
the amount of onr National debt to build
railroads to the interior of India in order
to bring India cotton to the market, our
government, excited by a vindictive feelin.
of animosity, instead of holding out the
hand to sustain, attempted to destroy by
taxation that upon which the prosperity
of the South rested. In addition to all of
this, tnat to which I have alluded as occur
ring in Chicago in the midst of her ruin,
occurred here in the midst of your greater
rain. There were men vile cnongh, .base
enough, to come in your midst and plunder
all that was leit. [Loud and prolonged ap
plause.] I think that I might read to you
the description of this influx of plunderers
into ruined Chicago which I have taken
the animosity of yonr political opponents.
I rejoice that all the sufferings yon have
undergone, all the perils through which
yon have passed, haTt - ot deprived yon of
the disposition to semi ithise with the
sufferings of others. [Loud applause.]
The small offering which the impoverished
South has be-n able to send to Chicago
will weigh like the widow’s mite; it will
hi ve the blessing of God. [Applans ]
It will teach jo.tr’ oppre sc. tbet, whilst
suffering and s taring under wrong sue »
as no people have borne before, this ’ ?
not extir inisbcd in yonr hearts the com
mon bouu of humanity. [Prolonged ap
plause.]
My fellow-citizens, we know before th
feeling still lived and horned in the hearts
of the people of the South; men as brave
as they showed themselves t be in the
great struggle which h: i passed could never
for et the claims of hnmaaity. [Loul and
prolonged applause.] Run and insult
have not been able to ext* igaish yonr sym
pathy nor yonr humanity, and the time is
coming, and nearly come, when the whole
people of this country will recognize that
truth which all the soldiers who fought
against the South already aekucwledge
[Cheers]
Fellow-citizens, there are some questions
growing out of the position of the South
which I feel called to mention, but with
diffidence, and disclaiming any purpose of
giving anything like advice to the people of
the Soath. Bnt I have read in letters and
tpeecbes by distinguished men of the
8outh certain advice to the people of the
South which touches all the South
and all who sympathise with the South
in other quarters of our country. I
have seen it proposed that in the next
Democratic convention, to be held for the
nomination of a can< 'date for the Presi-
d r nt of the U : tedSt les, the South should
forbear to l-.ke any part whatever; that
the South ould decline to be represented,
but should accept whatever candidate the
Democrats of the North may see proper to
offer.
I dissent entirely from that propositio
(hearty applause.) I think I may here en
ter . ie protest of eveiy Democrat in the
West and North (renewed applause.)
The triumph of the Democratic party is
the safest of the South. (Applause.)
And who shor'd guard its safety but
Southern men? (Applause.) If they
fail, why m • not others also fail ?
My fello.v citizens, a triumph which
will relieve you is the thing which the
South looks and looks to alone. They
have no questions of personal favorites to
engaged in that unfortunate froliek, will
have to be outcasts and fugitives iu
a straDge land, or brave the horrors of a
Northern pi Lon.
We do not know whether their persecu
tors were moved by a petty spirit of malicp,
or by cupidity: but, this we do know, th t
we had rather ho with tne victims an out
cast aud a fugitive from a tyranical and
unjust law, than to have the silent finger
of public scorn pointed at us, as it is, and
will ever be, pointed at these informers,
and tbeir children.
They arc every one known, and .he hon
est people of Floyd County will not soon
forget them.
We learn from the Shelby Guide that
the case of Bowlin for killing Mr. Fisher
in Talladega last July, which was trans
ferred to Shelby county, has been post
poned.

vilen -s of plunder and tho crime of assas
sination to accomplish that pluoder. I have
also a paragraph, taken from a sermon of _ .
the Rev. Henty Ward Beecher, in which, "be advanced. To them all Democrats are
speaking of these fi nds, he says: alike. (Cheers.) Their choice will fall
upon him who is most likely to carry that
banner in triumph. (Applause.) If the
i South fails to give us the benefit of her
' w : e counsel—if she fails to send her pru
dent aud wise men, who will go there with
a u eye single to success—if they leave the
Democracy of the Nor : to struggle for a
Domin' . : on amidst the contending factions
of the aspirants, she will withhold from ns
the benefit of the wisest and most impar
tial counsel we can have. (Immense ap
plause.)
If she should abstain, eveu .hough it :
upon the groued stated by some if these
distinguished g -tlemeu who advocate ' his
course, and who say that their presen e ' l
the Convention iu 1868 w laid hold of
and used to tbe destruction of the Demo
cratic party. I tell you their abstinence
i jw will bi claimed as a refusal to go wi 1
the Northern Democ its because they hat j
adopted the New Departure. (Sensation.)
It will be claimed that the sp* it of rebel
lion still lingers and burns under the
smou'dering ashes, and it is ligated into a
new flame of indignation because tbe Demo
cratic party of the North or a large por
tion of them have assumed, for reasons that
seemed good to them, to make certain con-
cessiuns- in their platform. It would be
suicidal; it would be destructive of your
very best interests.
I do not know bow well it is known,
but to those who care for my opinions it is
known that I am no friend of the New
Departure, (prolonged aDd enthusiastic
applause and cheers.) I believe in tbe
patriotism and tbe parity of tbe motives
of those who have chosen that path; but
while I shall still hold to the opinions
wbicb I have heretofore expressed, aud
shall not yield one inch ot my own convic
tions as to tbe unconstitutionality of the
usurpations of the Radical party, I am
willing to fight tbe Radicals in any shape
the Democratic party may determine upon.
(Long and harty applause.) I believe
that tbe New Departure, so far from beitg
a good policy, has proven disastrous; but
what tbe party adopts as its policy I shall
maintain without surrendering my own
convictions. [Applause.] I believe that
policy has failed to give ns success in tie
elections of this summer aud autumn; and
for tbe reason that it was a confession in
open court of enr inability to carry tbe
elections upon onr own principles; it was t
confession that we most make a conces
sion in order to Aaw to us others who had
heretofore acted against ns; bat in making
that concession it failed to place candidates
before the people in harmony with that
platform. Thus while some Democrats
were disgusted at this concession no Re'
publicans'were concilliatcd
Now, my fellow citizens, to my view,
the fotnre does not look gloomy even un
der the losses we have suffered this sum
mer and antnmn. I have not a single
feeling of despondency. (Applause.) It
is well understood that the Republican par
ty contains in itself seeds of discontent, of
bitterness, 'of rivalry, and of disaffection,
aud it L natural in these preliminary elec
tions that those who ' agon'zo the renom
ination of General Grt t should attempt to
hold tbeir position within their party io
order that their influence may be used to
defeat his nomination. I know very wel 1
that his nomination will not be defeated—
at least thrt is my solemn con' et'on; th:
he is now the c''ctator in the r mhh'ca.
party that he as 'res to be in tTe cou< try
at large. (A np anse.) I believe tha
will dictate h.t own nomini 'on; hat tl cn
my fellow-citizens, I know that some of the
most conspicuous, able and courageous men
who stand highest iu the radical party
will leave the republi .n party when Gran:
is nominated and bnrn their ships. (Ap
plause and laughter.) When ‘ ey fail to
defeat him for the nominal'on they will
take good pains U defeat his reflection,
(Renewed applause.)
And again; instead of going for a New
Departure, I would prefer to go for a man
who represents the New departure; I would
prefer to give that guarantee to the diaaf-
fected republicans. Ra her than to go
back upon my own principles I would pre
fer to make n choice of republicans, ana go
for a man who should be nominated by the
bisaffeoled republicans, or what would' be
better, one who might be nominated by the
Democrats in their convention, and thus
draw to ns by a much stronger
than the mere words of a
/raph in the Ibrall states that they were
nuiazed at the number of thieves and rob
bers were found ia that doomed city; that
it seemed, aud was believed that delegations
from that profession had come from all the
cities to aid the ruin and complete the de
struction. I need not say that delegations
of thieves and robbers have come from all
stetions to infest like the army worm and
eat np the prosperity of the South. [Loud
applause/]
There is one point, my fellow citizens,
io which the parallel fulls to hold out.
The suffering of Chicago is almost redeem
ed by the exhibition of the boundless
charity of the people of this whole conn
try and of distant Europe. They havo
been allowed to want for nothing that tbe
world’s wealth could give them. It could
not restore their dead, but it has gener
ously led the living. And when these vile
malefactors from all parts of the world, for
getful of humanity, crowded thither to
plunder the wretohed sufferers io Chicago,
the whole world has said that; when they
were stricken down by the hand of vio
lence, without trial, it was well done.
There was no exhibition of this sympathy
for tho suffering South. (Sensation.)
This picture of suffering, of endurance of
disaster in a brave people stroggliog to
hold to gethcr the bonds of society and
almost perishiog io tbe effort; assailed on
every side by the heartless and tbe guilty,
is not redeemed by that grand trait of
humanity, of generosity, aud of magnani
mity which has characterized the deplora
ble distress and redeems the picture of onr
pendence—that State which gave to us a
long line of illustrious Presidents—That
State which in our unfortunate war, after
having guided the councils of the nation
for so maDy ycar3 furnished the heroes and
statesmen of the .Southern Confederacy,
(Enthusiastic cheering) that State which
not even radical reconstruction could su -
ject to a scallawag or a carpet-bagger.. (Ap
plause)—that State which was cioL n
twain by th radical Congress to add to
their power by duplicating its representa
tion in the Senate in order to oppress the
South, and which the wise sons of Virgin
ia have erected into two fortresses for the
defence of their country. (Loud applause.)
Shall the Democracy of the South hesitate
to follow the counsel of (he Old Dominion?
Why, we have taken heed of her example
in Missouri. Trammeled with e'ect'on
laws and disfranchised, we have risen anl
rent tbe bonds which bound us; and I be
lieve that the State of Missouri will at the
in and near our city, in'whj^ 1

ial by the Radicals legislature of New They appreciate thirr'^
York to allow tbe tty of New York to gov- of his kindJ, 7.3 i and
ern its own affairs, 'he deprivation of local
self-government: the construction of Boards
of Comm'^Lners to be appointed by a Re

affairs of the people of the city of New York
precisely as Congress has done in all the

my fellow citizens, the first time that the
State of New York e'r ed a Democratic
Legislature withia seventeen years was the
one which as::c •''ed two winters ago. The
Democrats in the Legislature, with the ex
ception of five or six, demand the restora
tion of the city of New York; that the
people should again have the power to elect
their own magistrates and tbe : r own rulers;
and the Radical members of the Legislature,

next Presidential election give a larger o ited with five or six Democrats includic
support of those who are dim fleeted with
majority than anv other State for the an-
aidate of the Democratic party. (Loud
applause.)
Fellow Citizent: There is one aspect of
politics to which I wish now briefly to ad
vert. The controversy in which we arc
now engaged has subsisted for the last forty
years as a struggle between sections. For
years it has been a fight between the North
and South—a war of words and a war of
swords—and that was a war of giants
(Applause.)
The world stood still to look upon that
war; every thing was involved in it and
the combatants bore themselves in snch
wise, as notwithstanding all the material
wealth lost to the country, it rose for the
first lime in its history, at the close of the
was, to the dignity of a first class power.
(Applause.)
Daring all this time down to the pres
ent, our political cootrovcrsey has been a
contest between sections. Do you not ob
serve that this contest has left its seeds ?
—that in the minds of men born and
reared in the North there is a pride iu
dominating over the rival section?—that
tl sy are willing that some wrong may be
done, if it is done to the South? It is im
possible to pluck from the hearts of the
people of the North this sentiment. No
matter how honest they may be—no matter
that they may have been brought up in
the teachings of freedom and liberty, they
will still tolerate an injustice and outrage
committed upon that section which they
have unhappily been taught was the rival
and the enemy of their section. [Ap.
plause ]
Jli/ Fellow Citizens: The Fathers of
this government at its institution, planted
in our constitution some seeds of noblest
promise, some excellent princinle* which
have borne and are going to bear good
fruit hereafter. Among others was that
one planted deeply in the democratic heart
of our country—the invitation to men in
all lauds who love hbsrtv and wish to find
homes to come as citizens to this new Con
tinent. [Applause.] Thousands and tens
of thousands, aye, millions of men ha j
been sheltered under this provision. They
have eome from the uttermost parts of the
world. Th . day has now come when they
can and w' ' repay to this people—to this
country, the great boon whkhwas then be-
towed upon them. [Immense Applause.]
The men of foreign birth who have
eome here are neither o! the North nor of
the South. They are not Identified with
any ouo part of our country in the sense iu
which tho .e who are native born are identi
fied with the particular section in which
they were born. They come and are made
citizens of the whole country and all parts
of it. And whilst upon the questions that
recently diviled us in sentiment they sided
with the North, it was natural that: hey
should, do so, uecause they looked upon
this country as one and indivisible, and
low, with the same sentiment in their
heatte, they cannot see why one section of
-he country should be subjected to the
other. (Applause.)
Iu my judgment, these are the men to
whom we have to look in the coming strag
gle. They have come from countries
where despotism is practiced, and they
know its badges and signs better than •■ :•
do who have never known them. They
know the subtle manner in which tyranny
will make its approaches; and already
recognizing it, the leading man, the most
prominent, the ablest representative of onr
adopted citizens, is now proclaiming his
hostility to Grant and his administration
(great cheers and applaus.) and declaring
in the face of the world that he has taken
his departure aud burned his ships. (Re
newed applause.) I do not believe that
any will fail to recognize the description :
I speak of my colleague in the Senate—
CarlSchurz. (Applause.) He it was, my
fellow-citizens, who led the entire German
element of the State of Missouri to break
down the disfranchising clause of our Con
stitution, (applause,) and atrayedhis fellow
countrymen as one man against the admin
istration, and despising the offices of Grant
despising his patronage and power,resolved
to preserve that freedom which America
had given to him and to his countrymen
(Immense applause.)
Now, my fellow citizens, the Germans in
Missouri, although Republicans almost to
a man, have always voted against tho dis
franchising of those who were opposed to
them during tho war, [applause,] they needed
no instruction upon that point irom any
body, and they resolutely maintain the doc
trine that neither Congress nor the States
eonld, by a bill of attainder, deprived men
of the right of sr Trage. [Applause.] They
mai ained tbit position in the last contest
through which we passed iu Missouri They
held it good against the blandishment and
threats of the administration; they stand
fairly and squairly to day, solidly tothe last
man agianst all disiianchisement and ft
universal amnesty. [Applause.] They
are oopcsod to this Ku-Klux l-'gislation;
[loudapnlau i], age-ist the suspension of the
write of /«/." ;* corpus; [retier , d applause],
and in my judgment if a' r -n is present
the candidate of tbe Detnocro lc party if
the Democra 'e party will now, instead of
adopting any New Departure, pat forward
a man, or accept one who n ; y be pnt for
ward by otl era, who is so ind upon those
p.vneiples he will receive tbe support of the
eat' -e Ger.. m vote ia the United States,
numbering as 1 have Leen informed, from
five hundred to eight hundred thousand
men. [Immense applause.]
As a miller of course we ought to have
13 nothing to say in nominating the man
ard I think we i 'll I think the Democrats
in Virginia had so ictltihg to do with the
d agnation of the candidate whom tfi&y
supported. I believe they had also in Ten-
r usee. We had, I know, in Missouri at the
last election, and if we can get a man of
that kind, one who fills the bill, ooe who if
elected will oall a halt on all this unconsti
tutional legislation and throw oat of power
those corthonnts whoare using yonr liberty]
extracting from your pockets the means by
which they oontrol the government, I think
we may have in the future a career ffhich
eed, who wrs himself a Senator, not
!y to co fi-m the ru'e of Tammany but
j extend its pot. er. (Sensation.)
If the Democratic party in the first ses
sion in which it ob-aiued power in the New
York legis'ature had not thus been defeated
by this combination of a few of its corrupt
men with the entire body of the Radicals,
they would have overthrown Tammany, and
restored to the people of New York tie
controle of their own affairs, and we should
have heard nothing of the plunder of these
millions which have recently startled ns.
If the Congress ol the United States had
allowed the people ofthe-South to reorganize
their State governments upon tbe principle
of self government, tu elect their own
officers and rulers, we should have heird of
(he profligate plunder of two hundred and
fifty millions of dollars which have been
taken from tbe treasuries of the South.
[Great i pplause.] I have been upon this
Committee to examine ii to the condition of
the Southern States almost from its incep
tion; I have listened to all the testimony
which hrs been given, and I find as the
net result that t.vo hundred and fifty mil
lions in bonds have been extoited from the
impoverished and down-trodden South by
the carpet baggers who were put iu power
iu the Southern States. [Immense and long
continued applause.]
That sum does not represent the third ol
their robborie3 (Applause.) It s'mply
represents what they have abstr ted from
the State Treasuries. (Renewed applause.)
Tn addition to that, they have seized upon
the rensnry o r every county in your State
and in every state in the South, and ot
every large city, where they have fattened
and gorged then--elves. (Continued ap
plause.) Five hundred milfoas of dollais
would not cover the extortion" of the leech
es and five hundred Tammanys cannot ri
val them in their robberies. (Great cheers.)
Fellow citizens, it is not my purpose to
detain you. (“Go on, Go od.”) I did not
purpose to make any speech when I came
into your midst. 1 did not deem that it
was entirely appropriate tlrt I should as-
nme the attitude of an adviser, but I have
1 en prevailed upon by some of my friends
who have been urgent in this matter, to
make you a short address. I have had no
time to ponder the topics most appropriate;
and I have only taken a few brief moments
from the duty devolved upon me by
this committee.
I will say unto, my fellow citizens, that I
am here, as you all know,in the capacity of I
an investigator—not by my own free will I
(applause)—not that I believed that the |
body that sent me here, bad the power iu
