The Sparta Journal (Hauoock county) says
On Wednesday night Uni. between the hours
of eleveu and twelve o'clock, a band of armed
men—disguised—about sixty m number—en
tered oar town—sought the jail first, and then
the rwudtnce of the ahnriff and jailor of Han
cock oaunty, for the avowed purpose of taking
pottoseton of the person of James Oxford, a
ptiaoner in the county Jail—charged with the
murder of Capt. John Taylor. They first went
to the jail and demanded the key of Mr. Har
bin, who was in charge of the guaTd on duty
around the jail. Being told that Mr. Bogers
had the key at his residence, they peremptori
ly demanded that he (Mr. Oorbin) should con
duct them to Mr. Rogers' residence, and
forced him to obej. On arriving at Mr.
Rogers* house, they surrounded it, and called
for the sheriff. Mr. Rogers opened his front
door and found several pistols presented
towards the door, and asked the parties
what they wanted, when they quiotly in-
informed hint that they had come for the
jail key. Mr. Rogers remonstrated, but
to no effect They demanded it in un
measured terms, assuring him that they would
have it, regardless of consequences, admitting
at the time, that they knew it was his duty
to reihse it, bat insisting that he must go
with them to the jail Mr. Rogers finding
himself overwhelmed by numbers, told them
where the key was, rather than have them
search his bouse and distress his sick family.
When they had got tho key, they surrounded
Mr. Rogers, and in that position marched to
the jail; when at the jail door, they told Mr.
Rogers that they bad come to relievo him of
ono of bis prisoners, (Oxford,) and that they
would not molest any other prisoner, or any
civil person whatever^ but assuring him that
they would make such disposition of, Oxford
as should forever relieve Hancock ooonty and
its citizens of his presence—intimating that
they were going to kill him as booh as they
got out of town. They opened tho door,
took Oxford out, und retired in the direction
of 8nn4emviUe, or tbaahoaluuf Ogeeohee; and
thos ended the first visit of the Ku-Klux to
Sparta,
Glad Tiding* of Great Jay.
The Albany (Now York) Journal is moro
than satisfied with the result in Pennsylvania.
It says:
We did not anticipate the glorious nows
which carno over the wires last night Penn
sylvania has been true to herself, over obsta
cles apparently tho tn<mt insurmountable. The
enemy was sanguine to the point of confi
dence, but not of neglect They fought stub
bornly and unscrupulously. They challenged
success by their desperate earnestness. They
struggled as never before. Money savod from
the tax gatherers won scattered like chaff.
Their candidate for Governor was nominated
avowedly because be would prove an unscru
pulous corruptionist His coffers, not his
brains, were in demand. His money, not him
self, was running. But honesty has triumphed
over fraud, and the Keystone remains firm.
All honor to the noble workers of Pennsylva
nia. Men of New York behold your example
and your reward.
Fifteenth Amendment Flow.
The following States have officially notified
the Department of State that they have rati
fied the Fifteenth Consiitatioual Amendment
on the date sot opposite to to their names
Missouri March 1, 1869
Kansas February 27, 1869
North Carolina March 6, 1869
West Virginia March 3, "
Massachusetts March 9 and 12, 1869
Wisconsin March 9, 1869
Maine March 12, 1869
Louisiana March 25, 1869
Michigan March 8, 1869
South Carolina March 10, 1869
Pennsylvania March 26, 1869
Arkansas March 30, 1869
Connecticut May 19, 1869
Florida Juno 15, 1860
Illinois March 6, 1869
Indiana May 13 and 14, I860
New York March 17 and April 19, 1869
New Hampshire, July 7, 1869
Nevada March 1, 1869
Virginia ratified the amendmoot last week,
hut has not yet notified tho State Deportment.
Of the above, Missouri, owing to n defec
tive telegraph dispatch sent from Washington
by ore of tho members of the House, inad
vertently omitted the second section of the
amendment, and Kansas in her ratification
changed the phraseology of the whole i m end-
moot. It is not doubted that the Legislatures
of those States will correet these mistakes im
mediately after their meeting. That of Mis
souri meets on the last Monday of December,
And that of Kansas on the second Thursday
of January next. The Legislature of Missouri
w***l«4U-d for two years in I860, and an elec
tion for another Legislature in Kansas will
take plsce on the first Tuesday of November.
When these twoBtstos correct the mistaken in
tho ratification, twenty States will have sanc
tioned it. Eight pioro arc needed. Seven of
these are as follows :
Ohio— Legislature elected lasl Tuesday,
meets first Monday In Jannnry.
Ala&am* Legislature elected iu November,
1868, for two years, largely Republican, meets
second Monday in November.
Iowa—largely HenuUican Legislature,
moots first Monday in January.
Minnesota—Largely Republican Legisla
ture, meets first Tuesday in January.
Nebraska - Legislature largely Republican,
cledled last Tuesday.
Vermont -Legislature largely Republican,
elected first Thursday in September, slid
meets on Thursday next, the 21st of October.
Rhode Island—Legislators largely Republi
can. The ficuate ratified the amendment on
the 27th of Mu/ Inst, and the House postpon
ed action till January, 1870; when the work
will be finished, according to all our advice*
These States make the number twenty
seven.
Texas eud Al»*«ie*i|>pi, when admitted, will
give os tweftty-ninu, one more than neces-
see no poseiblc obstacle lu tho way of
the ratification, unices Ohio should not prove
to have a Republican Legislature, or Rhode
Island ahonld obstinately refuse co-operation;
but we do not apprehend either contingency.
The eafety of tho Amendment is so assured
that we look rather for assistance from some
of the Htstes heretofore most bitterly adverse
to it.— PkU. Prase. /

The pottthriens were eqestty swvpriKd'St the
appointment ef Gen. Rawlins, bnt the ability,
integrity and high ehuasler of that lamented
officer, soon turned disappointment into ad
miration.
And so, loo, till it be of bis successor,
•a. Belknap. In making hie •• lections to
often, the President looks to the high standard
of doty rather than to the combinations of
were politician* /• Is he honest, is he capa
ble? ** Not, 41 la he available, is he the cen
tral Bead of a political junta? “ Tbeee are the
questions asked, and they give earnest of a re
turn to the practices of the early and better
days of the Repnblta.
Gen. Belknap is in many reaped* a fitting
successor of Gen. Rawlins. Like Rawlins, he
is s men of conscience rather than polioy.—
Duty rather than expediency seems to have
been hit rule of action through life. Like his
predecessor, he is a lawyer by profession; he
was a volunteer soldier during the war, steadi
ly rising, like Rawlins, through successive
grade* and ending his military career with
the war. As a soldier he epjoyed the confi
dence of both Grant and Sherman, and his
effioienoy and integrity of personal oh a rooter,
made him a favorite with the Atmy.
In this appointment the President seems to
have kept steadily in view hie purpose of car
ry iug oat the polioy of the War Department
which he himself begun—the army view of
etiqnette, discipline and needs. And the new
Minister has already, both iu the army and
bis late |>o*ition as Collector, given ample
proofs of uuusual administrative and execu
tive ability, and all agree that these quali
ties are highly essential to the successful die*
charge of the duties imposed by his new po
sition. As the appointment of General Raw
lins gave the highest evidences of the Presi
dent's insight into the character of men, so
will it be in the case of General Belknap; and
we predict that ere many months shall elapse,
all wen, regardless of party, will commend the
President for the good sense displayed in the
appointment of General Rawlins' successor.
“ What Is Democracy V**
I The Macon Telegraph refuses to answer.
Perhaps it don't exactly know! We are in
clined to the opinion that it does not! Hence
it should have honestly confessed its ignor
ance! Bat instead of this frank avowal, it
seeks to divert attention from the awkward
dilemma by resort to a vocabulary whioh illy
comports with tho dignified mien and smooth
exterior of that excellent journal. Suoh lan
guage is common with the lower order of
“Democratic" journals. We could have
reasonably expected nothing better from the
Savannah News or the Augusta Chronicle.
That is their element. But it is wholly for
eign to the polished exterior of the Macon
Telegraph. Was the editor absent 7 or do
evil communications corrupt good manners?
Is the Telegraph falling in with the slang-
whangers? We hope not.

The Late Election!. The Ffarthern Democ
racy, the South anti the Bwcecsetoi
The late election* »n Pennsylvania and Ohio
ought to be Hufflcitut w convince the Demo
cratic party that tl a reign of slavery and the
constitution of Buchanan are among the things
of the past—that the financial policy of Gen
eral Grant’s inaugural touching the national
debt will stand, and that the Fifteenth Amend
ment, interdicting the United States and every
State from any restrictions on suffrage on ac
count of race or color, will beoome in the In
terval to 4ho elections of next autumn part
of the supreme law of the land. These thing*
at all events, in tho elections of last year and
this year, aro established or inevitable, and
they call upon tbe Democracy for a
parture.
The decisive battle of tbe Democrats on
their old Bourbon principles of State sovereign
ty and negro distinctions was fought in 1868
on tbe declaration in tho Tammany national
platform, that all “the recouhtruotiou acts of
Congress arc unconstitutional, revolutionary,
null and void," which involved the proposi
tion to carry us back to “the constitution os
it was" before the war, Sosthsrn State Rights
and all. Upon this issue tn Grant’s election
tbe reconstruction acts of Congress were en
dorsed by the people, including negro suffrage
in tbe States directly concerned. What would
have been tbe result had Chase been nomina
ted instead of Seymour, and on a platform
recognizing the reconstruction nets of Con
gress, or what might have been dons bad not
Seymour been pinned down by the Tammany
resolution of Wade Hampton and the revolu
tionary letter of Gooeral Blair, it wonld be a
waste of time to consider. Wo have to deal
with things ss they are. After the election
of General Grirut, with Its endorsement of tho
Republican party, another advance was made
by thA oatgoing Congress on negro snffrage in
the Fifteenth Amendment, proposing to make
this suffrage uu lorm throughout the United
States antler the authority of Congress, and
in tbe General's inaugural he cordially sup
ported the proposition.
What has followed ? Beginning with Vir
ginia, the old Southern States Rights Demo
crats and conservative Republicans have
formed a new Southern party under the wiag
of the administration. The new anti-lUdicol
Legislature of Virginia thos elcetsd bus rati
fied tho Fifteenth Amendment, and in Missis
sippi and Texa* with Urn suoocss of either
party, tho satno course will be pursnsd. 'They
have given np the fight with Gougrens in the
South, the supporters of Seymour iu that sec
tion being satwfled that his defeat settled the
questioa, and that it would bn worse than use
less any longer to follow the Bourbons of tbe
North. Hera, then, we staid. The Fifteenth
Amendment is on the verge of a full ratifica
tion ; the Southern democracy Uavo entared
lotos new political league on things as they
are, w hiie the Northern deuiomscy have beau
again defeated on their old tone* and in elec
tions, too. in whioh indifference so far pre
vailed on the Republican side that it woa ex
pected these elections wonld go by default.--
Nothing is changed North from the results of
last year except the situation of the Northern
wing of the lata Democratic torses, whioh now
stands alone, with much feet and nothing
gained.-ff. T Herald,
Louisville, Saturday, Oot. 10, 1800.

Tne UbnrSuon hos really and truly

what gooff hot ft donef* *
If I mistake not the nomenclature of
not, I think the Northern and Western men
oame down and borrowed it, and made It a sort
of a national affair. I thought at Ant that it
woe rather a singular nrooedara to go all the
way to New York to bant a man to preside
over the Routhem Commercial Convention.—
And now I still consider it etreuge that the
rmxt meeting of the Boa them Commercial
Convention will be held In Cincinnati.-~
I rather like the national feature which
the thing has assumed, but haven’t our
Southern delegates ceded mors than they
really oounted on 7 Have they not ceded a
little more thou they really meant tooede? In
other word* have they not been sold at About
half price, and that too on •• long time 7
A ml I would like them to tdl me when it is
thought the next Southern Commercial Con
vention will be held south of the Ohio river.
However, if future gatherings of this kind
are to do no more for the general trade and
comraeroo of tho country than this has done,
it will matter but little where Us meetings
are held. I really do not believe that, since
the adjournment, half tba delegates under
stand unite os dearly what they came here
for as they did before they eame. At least,
those with whom I have spoken are not very
K sitive about the matter; in fact, it would not
hard to persuade some of them to olaim
that they did not oome here stall—were never
in Louisville and don’t expect to be.
Louisville did splendidly for the Oonven
tion. Bhe opened her exchequer wide. She
put on her holliday attire. Bhe had taken
special pains to 'Whine" herself up. Bhe treat
ed every one who oome royally. She made
special parade of her musie. She scattered
her beauty around as thick as violets lu spring
time, and she gets her pay in — advertis
ing. Nevor was a city better puffed. Never
was one the eynoeure of so many “mind's
eyes." Bhe will get her money back. Bhe
does not weep over the price of her whisllo.
Bhe knows she paid a big pcioe for it, bat she
blows it in snoh a way as lo be heard from
Maine to Califomi* and from Florida to Ore
gon. To her It was a "whistle of worth," and
she don't “oare a red” for expense* She has
had what the wanted, has accomplished her
aim, and now she may sit back and enjoy
the praise that is fleeing at her even from a
far off, and gather in the dividends upon her
investment Jrom her increased trad* She
bought notoriety at a high price, and will
g ather cents per cent, to her intonsest satie-
ictlon. That is what tbe Convention has
But I am omitting the proceedings of the
last day, albeit not a great deal wm done. The
Convention met at nine o'clock and simply
wonnd up matters iu a harry. All were im
patient to be off for their home* exoept a few
who still had "a few words to My."
The following committee was appointed to
thank President Grant for his message to the
Convention :
Gen. Hiram Walbridge, of New York : Ool.
Blanton Duncan, of Kentucky ; Hon. R. M.
Oorwine. of Ohio ; Hou. Heister Clymer, of
Pennsylvania; Hon. H. W. Hilliard, of Geor
gia ; Hon. 0. P. Button, of Vermont; Col.
Win. Lamb, of Virginia ; Gov. P. O. Hebert,
of Louisiana; Gov. R. M. Patton, of Ala
bama.
The following resolution upon the subject
of education was also adopted :
Unsolved, That, acknowledging as we do,
the vast importance of the general diffusion
of knowledge umong all classes of society,
that a committee of seven be appointed by the
chair, who shall take nnder their considera
tion the subject of education, and report to
the next Commercial Convention, to be held
at Cincinnati in October, 1870, the result of
their labor*
The above resolution probably was suggest
ed to the Convention by—itself.
The Convention showed a decided dispotd
tion to cultivate the acquaintance o! the
world, ns will be seen by the following reso
lution* which were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That a delegation of six be ap
pointed by the President of this Convention,
to attend tbe Universal Exposition in St. Pe
tersburg, (RussiXs) in May next, 1870, whose
duty it shall bo to represent this Convention ;
to carry over samples showing the quality of
ootton grown in the different American ootton
Stales ; to deliver to the Chambers of Com
merce of the chief mercantile cities of Europe
tbe proceedings of this Convention, and to
represent in a memorial to thoM centers of
commerce and to the people of Northern Eu
rope the great inducements now offered by the
ootton Btatae to immigration and capital; and
that tbe President of the Convention shall
designate at his convenience the gentlemen
selected, and shall notify them thereof.
Resolved, That tho President of this Con
vention shall be added to the delegation, and
shall be Chairman thereof.
The Convention spent some time iu the
China business. Several rMolutiona wero in
troduced, all of which were discussed but
none were acted upon.
The body then thanked everybody else ac
cording to oustom, and prepared to adjourn.
In declaring the adjournment, President Fill
moro said:
Gxntlkkrn or tbs Contention: Before I
put this motion I desire most respectfully and
heartily to retarn my th&oks for the honor
you have done me in making me your presid
ing officer, and for yoor expression of appro
bation. It has been my fortune in the coarse
of a long life to have been connected with
many deliberative bodies from the lower
house in my own State to the Senate of the
United States, and I trust you will allow me
to say that I feel that this Convention in point
of intellectual capaoity will compare favorabl;
hope that the sentiment which baa animated
this Convention, composed of men from all
parts of the oountry, East aud West, North
and South, may have a salutary effect iu re
storing peace, re&l pence to the whole ooun
try. [Applanso. ]
I never expect to again be connected with a
public body. I regret to part with you, but 1
leave with satisfaction that your labors have
been effective and harmonious. Hoping that
f reat good will result from your deliberations,
retire from public labor with tho oloee of our
business of to-day. In pursuance of my duty,
I now adjourn this body without day.
Thus ended tho great Southern Commercial
Convention of 1809.
The Oeorgia delegates will all leave for
home to morrow morning exoept Mr. Amos
Fox. He will spend a short time among the
blue grass.
Governor Bullock and family have gone
Ndrth for a brief visit. The Governor will
retnm to Atlanta about the first of November.
Some of your State papers, I observo, are
lamenting that the Governor should have
brought a special train hore for the accommo
dation of the Georgia delegates, arguing the
? rent expense to which it would run the State.
am assured, however, by competent railroad
men, that the train cost the State very little
outside tho ordinary wear and tear of the ma
chinery.
The Georgia delegates made Uieir mark
here. Tho Pacific Railroad report was the
big thing—of more importance thau all else
before tbe Convention. Ool. V. A. Gaskill’*
>eeoh in favor of the majority and against
the minority report was the speech of the ses
sion. It oreoled moro outhuaiasin sod ap

turuing point of the question, and settled tho
Convention almost unanimously la favor of
the 32d Parallel.

him when I come to your city. One day dar

Mr. Robert Bonner, of the New York
Ledger, through a friendly letter to General
Grant, suggMtiug tho propriety of a brief de^
niai over hie own signature of all foreknowl
edge of Iho late Wall afreet "corner" on gold,
Um drawn from the General the following
reply;—
Washington, D. C. ( Oot 13, 1869.
Roliert Bonner, Esq.:—
Dear Sir—Your favor of the 11th instant is
received. I beve never (bought of contradict
ing statements or insinuations made against
ms by irresponsible parties m those are allu
ded to in your letter; bnt m you have written
to me on the subject in ae kind a spirit I will
My that I had no more to do wiin tho late
gold exoitament in Hew York olty than your
self or any other innocent party, exoept that
I ordered the sale of gold to break the ring
engaged, m I thought, in a roost disreputable
transaction. If the speculators had been suc
cessful you would never have heard of any
one connected with tho administration as be
ing connected with the transaction. Yours
traly, U. S. Grant.
P. 8.— I have written this in great hMte,
aud without exercising judgment as to the
propriety of writing it, but I submit It to your
judgment U. 8. G.
This is perfectly satisfactory and conclusive.
It was not needed, however, for the vindica
tion of General Grant His order to sell those
four millions of gold on that fatal Friday, to
tbe ring, was in itself a complete refutation of
all the insinuations of bis foreknowledge of,
or oomplioity in tbe pooh—A". Y. Herald. ■
