The Georgia State Democratic Executive) Com

Macon, Ga., May 18,1874.
To the Executive Committee of the Democratic
Party:
Desiring, above all things, unity of action
by the Democrats of Georgia In onr approach
ing elections, and knowing tho great impor
tance of harmony in our ranks, I have detor-
mlued, with a view to thi9 dosirablo end, to
call together tho Executive Committoo of the
party, on tho first Wednesday in July, in At-
lauta, for consultation. Until then, it is ear
neatly desired that no action looking to nomi
nations of candidates will bo taken by tho
party. Gentlomen of tho committee, tho in

The Civil Rights Bill.
Not only Southorn Radicals but Northern
and Western Republicans also aro boginning
to denounce this abomination. Every day now
lessens tho probability of its passage during
tho proeout session of Congress—both Douses
Laving agreed, by joint resolution, to adjourn
on the 22d inst.
An effort was mado by Beast Butler, a few
days ago, to tako it up from tbo Speaker’:
table and refer it to a committee with author
ity to report at any timo. This attompt to sot
it in motion failod, howovor; but ho is not go
Ing to “ give it up so." Do will mako other
efforts to resurrect it. Whether they will be
successful remains to be seen.
The Hill-Stcphcns Controversy
Still gees on, without any bonofit to either of
tho parties. No good can grow out of such
controversies, but much evil may <ensuo. A
gentleman remarked in our ofSco one day last
weok that if tho public credited tho state
ments of both these gentlomen they must in-
ovitaoly bo driven to tho conclusion that they
aro both bad mem
LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT.
“ Truth craved to earth wilt lisa again,”
say^the poet, and all history proves it to be
true. Dark os was the pioture for several
ytpfs after tho Surrender, and gloomy as it is
yet, for that matter—there is now a “allvfc
lining to the cloud.”
At one time, it appeared a; if tho doctrine
of centralism was destined to destroy the last
vestige of American liberty and establish a
grinding despotism in its stead. Many of our
wisest and best men regarded all os lost. It
seemed that the Northern poople were drank
with excitemont, and in tBair zeal to “ make
treason odious,” had lost sight of the funda
mental principles which underlie free govern
ment. A few of them, it is true—thoughtful
men in private stations, still clung to the tra
ditions of tbo fathers—but none such could get
office.
We remember one with whom we met during
that darkest period—a gallant gontloman of
New Jersey, who bad fought for tbo old flag,
and boro numerous scars upon bis porson—an
eminent lawyer in retirement—who seemed
hopofnl all tho while. “ Although State rights
and local solf-govornment is a doctrine now
considered treasonable," ho remarked, ” I feel
as Galileo did in prison, when forced to re
nounce his boliof—I can still swing my arm
backwards and forwards and in full confidence
say, IT STILL MOVES! And yon will find,” he
continuod, “ that all the prophets are not slain.
Thousands will again spring up in all sections
to re-assort the doctrine of local self-govern
moot. Tho liberty-loving peoplo of this coun
try know that this is tho corner-stone on which
their froo institutions aro foundod; and when
tho passions of tbo hoar Bball have cooled, they
will return to this ark of safety again."
Wo admired his snblimo faith—we hoped to
seo the picture be paiuted realized, but ex
pected to wait long years first. Tho skies aro
brightening fastor than wo expected. Star
after star appears in the firmament. They are
in tho East and tho Wost—thoy are peeping
out ovory whore. Senators and Representa
tives—distinguished journalists—good men
every whore aro returning to tho ancient land
marks, and we now feol confident that tho man
wbo shall bo olcctod noxt President—wo don’t
know who ho will bo—will havo inscribed on
bis banner, in unmistakable characters, tho
grand fundamental doctrine of local self-
government.
ask how long the experiment <s to last f, There
should at least be some signs of improvement
visible aB time goes on. Nino years have past
since the close of tbo war, and is South Caro
lina hotter governed than she was then t She-
clearly is not so wall governed as she was un
der purely military rale. The same most be
said, mutatii mutandis, of Louisiana, Mississip
pi, Texas and Arkansas. Now it is folly to
snpposo that the Republican party, as an or
ganization, will continue much longer to look
on with perfect satisfaction at ttys great fail
ure. The leaders of the present moment may
not pay any attention to the subject; bat if
they do not, other leaders will arise who trill
see that justice is done. Last week we all
witnessed the United States Senate engaged
for twenty-four hoars at a stretoh in passing
a bill for the benefit of tbe negro, merely out
of a scntimontal sort of deference to tbo wishes
of a deceased Senator. Respect for the dead
is incumbent on us all—but legislation should
be based on a careful aud wise regard for tbe
wolfare of tho living, not npon “ mandates,'
real or fictitious, of the dead. Tbe negro has
had a very fair amount of protection. It is
important before going any farther to find
out what use he has mado of tho freedom giv
en to him -, in what way he has exercised the
vast political powers with which ho has been
endowed; what tort of a government he has
helped to sot cp in States where he is most
powerful; whether, in short, he at this mo
ment stands in need of protection from the
white man, or tho whito man stands in need
of protection from thorn. If Mr. Eaton in
tends to raiso theso questions, dopend upon it,
ho will obtain an audience, aud he cannot bo
suppressed by bowls and groans, and wa, for
our part, shall not join in any such attempts
at suppression. We should 'ike to soo tho
question taken up by tbo Republicans. Mr,
Carpenter made a great beginning in refer
ence to Louisiana. Such a work would bo far
more conducive to tbe prosperity of tho party,
in tho caso of good government now and hero-
after, than tho headlong passago of sentiment
al bills in favor of tho negro.

A Georgian Murdered by a Negro.
A Mr. DarrIBgtou, from Georgia, a son of
Mr. C. D. Harrington, of Hall oounty, was
killed by a uogro, near Corsicana, Texas, on
tho 27th ultimo. He was hold by one negro
wbilo another shot him. Ho lived only threo,
hours after rcceivingtho wound. Tho negroes
were both arrested and carried to Houston.

Davis, late proprietor of said sheet, of sundry
disroputablo acts, such as borrowing with
out paying, failing to pay his printers, run
ning in debt and refusing to pay, &c. Ho fi
nally accuses Lim of being a professional
“ dead-beat.”
Wo are not at all surprised at this. We
novor saw tbe man, and know nothing about
him, oxcept that ho claimed to havo throo

Tho Negro and the Indian.
Young in time, old in wrongs, this country
has to bear a great deal that is painful to all
good and sensiblo men. On Tuesday the Honso
Committee on Torritorios had to listoa to a
pointed speech that had in it a vast history
cryatalized into a few sontoncos. Colonel
Boudinot addressed the committee in behalf
of organizing tho Territory of Oklahoma, and
thus introduced his remarks:
“ A few days ago I took my seat in the gal
lery of tho House of Representatives of tho
United States of Americjt, attracted by tbo
discussion of the Indian question in tho great
est, if not tbe most orderly, legislative body in
the world. Learned statesmen and oloqnent
orators wore giving their views npon the sub
ject, and discoursing of the wrongs and the
rights and the interests of the Indian race.
•• Looking towards the speaker’s desk I saw,
in the position once occupied by a Clay, a Ma
con, and a Banks, a distinguished representa
tive of the lately enfranchished Afrioan race.
A colored man, but yesterday a slave, was
presiding over the deliberations of tbe repre
sentatives of proud 8tates, and directing tbe
discussion npon the rights and interests of tho
Indian, the originafeowner of all this country,
and always as free aft the birds of his moun
tains and plains. I observed in this spectacle
how perfectly tho African enjoyed his new-
bora rights and privileges’, but what a com
mentary upon tho doctrine of equality and
civil righto! Everybody seems to bo invested
with the legacy of equal righto in this * Land
of tho free, and homo of tho brave,’except tho
original owner of the country. Be, alone, is
an alffin in the land of his birth.”
This speech should tinge with shame several
million of cheeks of tho people of the Union.
Col. Bohdinot, referred to above, la, as onr
readore aro aware, a half-breed Cherokee, and,
wo bellevo, a native of Georgia. At all e vents,
Elias Bondinot, his father, (whoso romantic
history boats half a dozen novels) was a native
and roBidont of Georgia, and edited and pub
lished a newspaper in tho Cherokee language
at “Now Echota” many years ago. Ho was
murdered after the Chorokoos wore removed to
Arkansas.
Col. Boudinot is a woll educated and ablo
lawyer, and was for several years editor of tho
Little Rock Democrat. While occupying that
position ho fought one or two duels, but al-
wuys preserved a high standing among tho
whites. He has boon residing in Washington
City several years, where he is acting as some
sort of representati veor agent of the Chorokebs.
He is highly esteemed by those who know him
—a man of brains and culture.
The Leading Republican Organ on the Condi
tion or the South and the Passage of Senti
mental bills in Favor of the Negro.
Now York Times Editorial, May 27th.
Mr. Eaton, the newly olocted Sonator of
Concecticut, recently deliWod an address
to his fellow citizens, in which he re
ferred in a general way to his political opin
ions. These opinions aro already well known
to everybody who has followed the course of
politics with any attention, and it does not
seem vory probable that Mr. Eaton wilt make
any chango in thorn. He declared that he is
now, “ and alwayshas boon, and always would
bo, a State Rights Democrat of the old Jof-
forsonian school.” Hosaid, also, First, first,
first the State of Connecticut, and then the
Federal Uniou,” which of course, is essentially
tho position formerly takon by men like Lee.
“ I shall try,” added Mr. Eaton, ” to tako away
the Fedoral bayonets from onr brothers in the
South, so that ovory Stato in this land shall
have tho same right oi local government, and
the samo exerciso of it, as our own State.
Tho regulation way of answering all this is
to stick a label on Mr. Eaton's back certifying
that ho is a Bourbon and a copperhead, and
to call attention to tho fact that ho was by no
means “ sound” on national issues daring tho
war. But oven after all this had been dono,
there would still remain a question in tho back
ground which would havo to bo met fairly in
tho face some day or other. Tho extreme to
which Stato rights thoories were pushed in
18C0 and 1861 brought about a reaction, and
that reaction has led many peopie to think
that Stato Righto belong to the dead-and-gone
class of questions, and that any man who talks
about State Righto is sufficiently answered
whon ho is called a “Bourbon.” It is unne
cessary to say to any intelligent reader that
this view is a misorabJy shallow one, and that
in reality the right of States to goven them
solves is as dear to tho peoplo as ever it was
And it ought to bo dear to them, for whon
thoy abandon it they will have utterly forsaken
tho system of government established undor
tho Federal Constitution. They may set up
something else in its place, which may be called
by any name that may please tbe persons then
living; but it will not bo the government desig
nated by tho founders of the Constitution. It
may be a civil policy based npon parliamen
tary rale, or it may be a monarchy or a despo
tism; but it will no longer bo a constitutional
republic such as wo have seen here for nearly
a hundred years. Wo say, then, that when
Mr. Eator talks of the necessity of maintain
ing State Righto, and of giving the citizens of
South Carolina tho same freedom which the
citizons of Connecticut enjoy, it is not enough
to allego that ho is a “Copperhead,” and to
fling at him tho missiles which darkened the
Hard on Lawyers.
St. Paul says, “Beware of dogs.” Lord
Bradwardine had inscribed over his gateway,
Bewar the Bar.” The elder Wollor advised
Samivol”to “ Bowaro of viddors.” And,
now, the ominent merchant and banker, Mr.
George W. Williams, of Charleston, but former
ly of Nacoechoe, (where he “ toted ” water to
save his corn) raises a warning voice, and says,
Beware of lawyers ”
Wo extract as follov-s from a speech ho lately
dciivored in Charleston, on tho occasion of tbo
celobration of tho 32d anniversary of his great
businoss firm. Mr. W. is rather hard on onr
learned brethren of tbd green bag: »
An early acquaintance of mine felt it bis
Christian duty to advisb vonng men fo hefrare
of tcidoics ; my last wocB of caution to yon is
beu-are of lawyers. Lawyers, you know, must
live; that fact I discovered in my youthful
verdancy. Having been advanced from the
position of an bumble clerk to that of a part
nor in a respectable mercantile house, I felt
that my elevation would be complctoif I could
only consult an attorney, one learned in tho
law, and a brothor Methodist too. My idea
was to get about five, not exceeding ten dol
lars worth of legal advice from this chip of tho
block. Woll, I was indulgod with an iQter-
viow. I began to submit my case to tbe learn
ed gentleman, which was short and simple, at
least as I understood tho matter, but not so
with my attorney and legal advisor. His
countenanco changed; sadness and doep con
cern overspread the face that a few moments
before was so bright and happy. He arose,
walking on tip-too to tbe door, closed it softly,
looked in every ccrnor of tbo room, and then
at the ceiling, to be sure that wo were alone.
With a plaintive, trembling voice, and his
wholo face low covered with a clammy, cold
sweat, ho informed me in a few brief words
that my case was desperate. Nothing bat his
legal knowledge and influence with the coart
could save mo from utter rain. And now it
was my timo to grow palo; my heart went
right down into my shoes; nothing saved me
from fainting bat rasbing into tho fresh air.—
I wished I was again a clerk, with a fifty dol
lar salary and board in the old wagon yard
hotel. The interview lasted about fifteen min
utes. I felt it would be wicked to distress my
friond and logal adviser again with matters
which interested me only; so I did not seek a
second iutorviow; but he did, and by this time
he had quite recovered. I asked him to allow
mo to settle that littio fee. He made a sort of
legal reply, which I interpreted to mean that
there would he no charge for the trifling ser
vices rendered. The next day I received,
through tbe post-office, a polite commnnica
tion enclosing a bill to G. W. W. for profes
sional services rendered, five hundred dollars!
My astonishment was about as great as it was
whon Gen. Gilmore unroofed tbis building in
which we now stand with a shell thrown from
the Swamp Angel on Morris Island. In the
deep anguish of my soul I sought another legal
adviser, and poured oat my grievances to him.
The Grangers.
One of the most intelligent planters of the
connty, who is a zealous Granger, remarked
to us the other day, that great as are the oth
er advantages growing out of membership in
the Order, its crowning glory is tho means
and incentives it affords to mental culture.
Said he, “ It has set onr farmers to thinking,
reading, studying, inquiring, discussing, de
bating, writing, calculating, and learning much
that is of advantage to them.”
This feature of the Granger movement, it
strikes ns, will be of immense advantage to
the country. Any thing which enconrages
mental cuRare> will redoand to the general
interest of society. When all onr people read
and think for themselves, the career of dema
gogues wyl be closed. Too long have they
blindly followed leaders, instead of informing
themselves and forming and acting upon their
own opinions. In the hands of an intelligent
constituency the ballot means something, and
the verdict of tho people, exproressed through
the ballot-box, becomes potential; but so loog
as tho masses are governed by the nod of a
few leaders, many of whom aro corrupt, popu
lar liberty is unsafe. We therefore hail with
delight every thiDg which has a tendency to
emancipate the masses from the thraldom of
self-constituted leaders.

the South are living in a state of oppression,
Mr. Eaton is right in calling attention to their
situation; if they aro suffering from injustice,
the nation at large will never tolerate its con
tinuance, and, therefore, the sooner tho in
justice is redressed, tbo better.
All snch questions os those should be dealt
with frankly. It is very bad policy on tbe
part of the Republican party to try to stuff
them awoy in corners, and cover them with
the “ battle flag” or with any other of tho
war paraphernalia. The people will not consent
to see either a Poland or an Ireland created on
this soil. It is not Impossible to redress mis
takes when they are discovered; bnt to per
sist i& mistakes after their discovery, and
to pretend that religion and morality re
quire ns to persist in them—this Is a
course which we cortalnly shall not take the
responsibility of recommending to tbe Repub
lican, or to any other party. The Southern
States are not living under a fair or free gov
ernment—so Mr. Eaton and many others would
allege. Woll, is tbe assertion true f Look at
Sonth Carolina. The foots in reference to
that Stato seem to be about as well established
as any historical facte can be, and they amount
to this: The negroes, assisted by rascally
whitos, have hold a sort of grand orgio in the
Stato for several years past, have swallowed
up among them nearly all the private proper
ty in the Stato, have mined what may be call
ed the native citizen even wm thoroughly
than the war bad done, have robbed and har
ried like so many highwaymen, and have re-
dnoed the State to a condition which most
shook overy man who sees it or reads abont it.
Tbe vory Governor of the State is a thief.
The Legislature is a gajg of thieves. Is this
a “ republican government,” each as the Con
stitution expressly guarantees to all the States!
i^e venture to say that it is fio£*~thaton
tbe contrary, it is a government of which Aba
Repnblio has every reason to be ashamed. No
doubt tho system introduced os a “ war meas
ure” into the South after the war—chiefly np
on the advice of Scinator Snmner and Tbad-
dous Stevens—was experimental; bnt can we
wonder that tho people everywhere begin to
to be consulted on such mattors, but, confiden
tially, I will say the charge iB an outrage! My
advice to yon, however, is to sottlo the bill
without litigation, and for this advice I charge
yon only two hundred and fifty dollars!”
Hero was half of my estate being swallow
ed np, jnst for the luxury of having two inter
views with gentlemen of the bar. Two yoars
bard work engulfed in two short interviews
with lawyers. So you cannot be surprised,
young men, at my word of caution: ’Beware
iff lawyers!' ”
Pay for Stares.
This questiop is now being agitated in some
quarters. Several of our exchangee have bad
something to say on the subject. Tbo Atlas
ta Herald, of Sunday, says:
“The agricultural Congress that has just ad
jouraed in this city, struck a key that may
prove a telling one. Mr. Fulton, a very level
headed member, moved that Congress he pe
titioned to pay tho full value for their slaves,
one half of the payment to go to tbe former
owner and the other half to the former slave.
This soheme. by absolutely uniting every
Southern member, may give us a solid power
that would force terms from one of the other
of the political parties.”
“ Hon. JoJin H. James, it will be remem
bered, severalmonths ago announced this to be
the only platform ha would ran on for Con
gross, and the scheme, all things considered,
is getting into right respectable bands. At
all events, tho results of a successful engineer
ing of the bill would be so sweet and so satis
factory that we feel like trying it, any how.
Let the coming statesmen speak now.”
V 'While tho “ coming statesmen” will all, no
doubt, be very glad to got compensation for
their slaves, tbosfi of them who know any thing
abontthe matter witt uop expect to get it by
means of a congressional appropriation until
tbo fourteenth amendment shall have tagqt ip-
pealed .
pressly provides that snch claims shall nevor
j^a paid. The door is therefore forever barred
untesB^.ohange can bo effected in the organic
law. To do tbis ^concurrence of three-fonrths
of tho States is necessary.
