>* > Atlanta, Oct. 31,1871.
The grand excitement of the season,
blazed out yesterday evening upon the
announceuieiit that liulLck had resigned,
aud Benjamin Conley had been sworn in as
Governor. Bat .lew peraoLS expected the
return of his. Bovine excellency, and y,.t
they were oot prepared for this boldstrokeof
political chicanery. All knew of the damn
able iniijuity thatclungto his official skirts,
hut they did not expect him to thus nro-
ciaiia to the world his own conviction
b hove it is the iirst tirno upon record of a
Radical governor resigning They cliu
power with the tenacity : of desperation, but
in this case the hand was too rotten. Us
flesh slippeth from tho boue The comc-
quenees of his horrible crimes were too
hideous, and grined too closely in the near
future to he faced, aud to escape the dis
gusting tedium of a public investigation aud
exposure, he confessed his guilt aud put
himself bey oud the borders of the State,
lie has counted without his host howtv r.
The investigation he so fearcfuliy dreaded
can not be averted 7 lie mountain of cor
ruption, unpleasant as the opperation will
prove, must be removed. The integrity of
the people must be vim icatcd, and the sins
of high places must be uncovered. The
pitiful plea made by the wretched scound
rel that a prewiditated prosecution influenc
ed hiuito resign will notsrrren him, from the
consequences of his malfeaseuce. The honor
of our people demands t! at the indictment
be found and the offender brought to justie-;
no cry of persecution ought nor can avail.
The charlitan will also be foiled in bis
efforts to foist his creature Conley upon the
people os Governor, during his uuexpir-
cd term, as the Legislature will see to it
that an election will be imediatcly ordered.
The following are the words given for the
resignation of Bullock, by which it will be
seen that he has the audacity to dictate the
law to a people whom he has so shamefully
outraged:
Cov. Bullock’s Alleged Reasons for
Resigning.
Ex. Dept State of Georgia.
Atlanta, Georgia, Oet. 23, IS
To my Political Friends and the People of
Georgia:
I have this day received information, the
truth of which I caonot doubt, that the
political conspirators who seek the over
throw, not only the reconstructed govern
ment of Georgia, but of the United States,
have secured the pleJges of a sufficient
nurnoer of the incoming members of the
Lower House of the General Assembly to
vote without previous investigation for
Articles of Impeachment against me im
mediately after they have assembled and
organized on Wednesday, the first day of
November next; and that having adopted
snch articles in the House a sufficient num
ber ofRepublican Senators will be unseated
to ensure convietioo upon the articles so
presented. 1 also learn that the Judge of
the Supreme Court, who is per onally and
politically bitterly hostile to me. has in
formed his friends that this programme
has been perfected, and that he has been
selected to provide over the Senate during
the trial; and that the Senator represen
ting Gen. Toombs’ district is to be elected
President of the Senate and immediately
s .ncunce himself as, and claim lo be,
Jovernr r during the pending impeachment
and thereafter for the balance of my unex-
pired term.
Upon this state of facts I have decided
to resign the office of Governor, to take
effect before the meeting and qualification
of the new members of the new body, and
thereby defeat this nefarious scheme of
these desperate political conspirators.
Ry this course I shall protect my po
litical friends in the Senate from the ex
pulsion that has been foreordained in order
to secure my impeachment, and, at the
same time, save the State from the disas
ters that would be sure to follow in the
wake ol'succcss on the part of the uapar-
doned aud unrepentant Rebel leaders, who,
though comparatively few in numbers,
move the masses by the irresistable pressure
of sectional hate and social proscription.
I have maintained my official position
against the assaults of thes; people upon
the course of equal rights and Republican
Government, just as long as it is possible
for uie to he of service, aud now for the
purpose ol again defeating this latest on
slaught of these destroyers, I have resigned
th : s office into the hands ol that noble and
unswerving friend of right and justice, the
Hon. Benjamin Conley, who, uoder the
Constitution, by reason of being President
of the Senate, becomes Governor during
the unexpired part of my term, or until a
successor is elected by the people. No
charge has yet been brought against him,
because he has not heretofore been sup
posed to be an obstacle io the way of the
conspirator's success. If assaults are now
made upon him the country will under
stand the purpsse for which they are made.
As for myself, being divested of official
position, the charges of every eharae er
which these people are sure to make and
proclaim against me, can be brought before
the courts, and I shall never shrink from
any judicial inquiry, that is divested of po
litical bias and prejudice. May I bo par
doned for a word of warning to the men
who fonght for the Union ?
Six months ago in Georgia, the mass of
tho people were acquisiog in the results of
the war, and were willing to accept those
results as being finalities, but under the
later public teaching of certain old leaders
who need not be named, the whole situation
has changed, and leading gentlemen, t ven
in the Democratic party,who dared to speak
in favor of acquiescence and peace have
been assailed and denonneed, and the peo
ple so intimidated that thay dare not follow
the advice.
These conspirators fear, above all else,
the re-election of General Grant. Their
insidious efforts to mislead him as to the
trne situation in the Sonth having utterly
failed, they now fear that some persistent
and irresistable maintenance of the right
under civil administration which so biilli-
antly marked General Garnt’s military ad
vances in the overthrow of the rebellion,
may defeat their revolutionary purposes.
I am now fully persuaded and satisfied
that these men purpose to control the Gov
ernment, and reverse the po'itical results
of the past few years by pcacefnl means, if
they can, or by "foul means, if they dare.
Failing in this, another attempt at seper-
ation will be made.
If evidence of this were wanting, we
need blit point to the public and private
ntterenceB of those who were foremost in
secession and rebellion, and now denounce
and ignore the lundameutal law the Con-
stitulion of the United Stales.
Will the country heed and take care,
belqre it is too late to prevent another war
with' its frightful consequence?
If my action in . this emergency had been
postponed until after t c meeting of the
incoming body of legislators, the Executive
bi&npbr of our State Government would
hiTSjhnm absorbed hy the conspirators in
the Legislative branch, and there would
p- al aud destruction of all great measures
of reform and progess that we bav labored
so hard to establish. The free school system
would be abolished, the colored citizen de
nied every right guaranteed to him, and
the whole work of internal improvement
carried ou by northern capital would be
swept away. The crowing spirit of lawless
ness and proscription for opioion’s sake is
daily rendering the property and lives of
Union men and Republicans more and m re
uusafi, and I fear the worst consequence if
the Executive office should be filled by one
not only in sympathy with those who urge
on and iufiame ibis feeling, but who is moved
and actuated by them. With no one in the
Executivee offic to call upon the General
Government for protection, its friends and
sup;oiters would be handed over without
mercy to theassults of their enemies.
For these reasons I have determined on
this step, believing that much which has
already been accomplished can be prevented
though the wise aud firm check upon rev
olutionary measures that will be given by
Gov. Oolucy in contrde of the Executive
branch of the Government, and that thereby
the good of the whole people of Georgia
will be promoted: aud I shall cheerfully give
to Gov. Cooley all the informations and as
sistance within my power that he may desire.
Rufus B. Bullock.
The follow ng is the paiagraph in the
Constitution, authorizing the succession of a
Governor and providing for a new elec
tion.
In else of the death, resignation or dis
ability of the Governor, tho President of
the Senate shall exercise the Executive
poweisolthe Government until such dis
ability be removed or a successor is elected
and qualified. Ar.d in case of the death
resignation or disability of the President of
the Senate, ihe Speaker of tho House of
Representativessliallexercise the Executive
powers of the Government until the re
moval of the disability or the election and
qualification of a Governnr. The General
Assembly shall have power to provide by
law for filliug unexpired teims by a special
election
Thus it will be seen that tho Legislature
is specially clothed with authority to order
the election, and it will be one of its first
duties to do so. A caucus for Legislative
offices will be held to night. The contest
for President of the Senate will he between
Col. Trammel and Judge Hinton. For
Speaker of the House, the race will be be
tween Couiming, Hoge aDd Smith, either
will make good presiding officers. Our
tailented Representative Cap. Scott, much
to the regret of his many friends pre
cuiptoraly refuses to be a candidate for
Speaker. His election would be a sueess
aud it would bo gra'ifying to our people to
have him in the place.
’ The Senatorial contest will be lively, but
I have not space to write of it now.
S.
The Milledgville Union gives the follow
ing pertinent rcasou6 why a convention of
the people should be held to modify the
preseut State Constitution ;
The representative system of Georgia
should be changed. The election of the
Judge of the Supreme Court should be
iven to the people. The Legislature
should be prohibited from lending the cred
it of the State to any corporation. The
Judiciary system should be modified. \V
should have a Lieutenant Governor, so if
our Governor dies or runs away, there
would be some one to take his place, dis
connected with the Legislature. We hope
the present Legislature will provide for a
State Convention.
We concur in the above reasons with
tile exception of the election of the Judi
ciary, by the people. That important trust
should 1 e vested in the Legislature.
Tiie Quarantine at Charleston.—
We have seen a telegram from J. M. Sel
kirk, Supt., of the Great Southern Freight
Line at Charleston, in which hec ntradicts
the reported quarantine at that Port, so
far as freights are concerned, freights trill
ml he delayed there, and passengers even
willoDly be effected temporarily.

A Blushing damsel had a mao and dog

replied. ‘On the left drumstick ’
An Illinois poet of some reputation poet
ically expressed his reluctance recently to
dying in certain months, but was willing to
shuffle off the oil in October. When last
heard from he was eating corned beef with
a vigorous appetite. October was more
than half gone, and the undertaker had not
been spoken to.
A Countryman on his wedding tour
halted recently at a Boston hotel. The day
was chilly, and after vain efforts to extract
heat from the steam radiatcr according to
the directions of the waiter, he rang the
bell and indignantly requested the attend

and bring in a stove.’
Salt and Ashes for Horses.—Those

In a handful of salt and ashes. Mix them
by putting in three parts of salt to one of
ashes. Horses relish this and it will keep
their hair soft and fine. It will prevent

mixed with salt and ashes, and given once
in two or three weeks, is also beneficial.

Slavery in Brazit is Ly no means yet
completely abolished. The law of Sept.
27, which has received so mnch commenda
tion, does no more than give freedom to
the slaves of the Crown and of religious
communities, aud the negro prisoners io
the State prison and mines. These include
hut a small part ol the slave population,and
further legislation is needed to complete
the work of emancipation. That this leg
islation will be granted in time is not doubt
ful.
Industry.—Man must have occupation
or he miserable. Toil is the price of sleep
and appetite, of health and enjoyment,
The very necessity which overcomes our
oatural sloth is a blessing. The world
docs not contain a brier or a thorn which
Divine mercy could have spared. We are
happier with the sterility, which we cad
overcome by industry, than we could have
been with spontaneous plenty and unbound
ed profusion. Theboly and the mind arc
im roved by the toil that fatigues them.
The toil is a thousand times rewarded by
the pleasure which it bestows. Its enjoy
ments are peculiar. No wealth can pur
chase them, no indolence can taste them,
A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT ARTE-
SIA.
An Innocent White Man Butchered by
Radical Devils.
The people uf Mississippi have witnessed
another tcrribl: example of the teaching ol
carpet buggery, and of what they may
continue to expect if the native and impor
ted scoundrels who direct the passions ol
the negroes, are not hurled by a united ef
fort from the eminance they disgrace, to
the hell uf people’s condemnation they de
serve.
Ou Saturday cveuing last a little bclorr
dark, there was perpetrated one of the
most cold-blocded murders that ever black
ened the annals of crime. A harmless cit
izen was taken by an cofuriated mob of
blacks, who have been taught by such men
as Lewis, Bliss, Gleed, and Whitfield, and
butchered like a dog, to satisfy their hate
aDd malice. But we will not pass judge
raent for our readers before giving the
facts as presented by witnesses.
It appears fiat on the evening in ques
tion. a largo number ol the Radical ne
groes, variously estimated at from eight
hundred to two thousand, assembled in Ar-
tesia, a short distance from the depot, to
hear speeches from two carpet-bangers,
Lewis and Bliss They came to the sta
tion more like a troop of Soldiers than as
a body of citizens gathering to hear public
addresses. Hundreds weie mounted and
armed with swords, guns, pistols and sticks.
Many came on foot, most of whom were
armed. There seemed to be officers iu
charge, who ever and anon gave out the
orders, “close up !” halt !”and tho like com
mands.
The rostuin was a wagon, and Lewis had
poured out bis bile and poison, and Bliss
was in the midst of a harangue, wheu a
white man, named Lee, walked from the
hotel to the speaker’s stand as an idle listen
er, with lo interest in the gathering more
than of curiosity. It was known that he had
arrived in Artesia that day—was a carpeo-
ter iu the emplo/ of the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad—and was waiting for the down
train to go to Meridian. lie had not left
the hotel five minutes when a shot was fir
ed in the crowd, followed hy four others in
rapid succession.
It is not given positively how the firs
shet was fired—whether by accident or de
sign; but the gnn was in the hands of a
negro. A physician of Attcsiasaw it rais
ed-at an angle of forty five degrees, and
fired, but he cannot now identify theoegro.
Lee turned to leave the crowd at this mo
ment, fearing trouble, and as he did so
sumo of the crowd directed attention to him
by shouting, ‘white man 1 white man! kill
him! shoot him !’ and they attacked him
with their guus and pistols.
One blow of a sabre cut a fearful gash
in the back of his head, which alone would
have killed him. Onlv one of the shots
fired at him took effect, but that was
enough. A hole was blown into his back
beneath the lei: shoulder blade, which
reached his heart, causing almost instant
death. You could have put three fingers
into the place! Not satisfied with this, the
cowardly wretches actually kicked and
trampled upon the body alter it was lifeless
aud there was no carpet-bagger's hand to
prevent the doubly infamous deed ! When
'he murder was done, the whole mob fled
with the speed of guilt, in every direction
Lewis taking the road toCrawfordvillewith
a portion of the crowd; the body being left
to the charge of a lew white citizens, who
were on the ground.
A citizen of our city, now a contractor
on the road, was present at the examination
uf the body, and states that there was no
sign of arms about the clothing—that he
thought, from the man’s character, that he
did not carry weapons. He al-o states
that he conversed with Lee a few minutes
before the tragedy, and that he was in his
sober senses.
It is established by other responsible
persons that Lee was a n-odcst, harmless
workman, the last man in the world to in
terfere in a political gathering. That he
was well connected. That a few minutes
before the tragedy he was in the hotel
waiting for his shoes to be blacked, and
talking rationally and soberly to persons in
the hall.
And who are accountable for the mur
der of poor Lee? Unquestionably the
renegades and carpet baggers who have
educated the ignorant negroes to these
dark and finished deeds. Such men as
Lewis. Bliss, Gleed and Whitfield are bis
real murderers. It, wastheir vile teachings
that did it. Whitfield had a part of the
same c-owd at Prairie Hill, the same day,
with arms and evil inteutions. By acci
dent he left Artesia a few hours before
the murder.
The wonder of this cmntry of wonders is
that such men arc permitted to breathe
air that gives life to a proud and noble
community.—Meridian Gazette, 25th
