WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 28,1874.
REMEMBER 1
One week from to-day is the Congressional
election. Lot every Democrat attend the polls.
Remember! that McMillan is tbe white man’s
candidate, while O'Neal is running in the in
terest of tbe Radical party.
Recollect, tbat O’Neal’s opposition to tbe
Civil Rights bill is a mockery, so long as be
acts with tbe party pledged to its enactment
and enforcement!
Give McMillan a rousing majority. Show
the world what the “ Old Sixth ” (now Ninth)
can do. We have claimed for this District the
honor of being the banner district of the State.
Let us vindicate tbe justice of tbat claim at
the polls next Wednesday.

Seventh District.
Tho Democratic Convention of the Seventh
District re-assomblod at Remo on tbe 19th
instant, and nominated Col. Dabney instead of
Mnj. Trammell, who withdrew from tho can
vass two or three weeks ago. There are now
two Democrats and a Radical in the field.
A Full Delegation.
Tho gains in the West, render it doubly
important that the South shall do its whole
duty in returning Democrats to the House of
Representatives. Lot Georgia next Tuesday
elect an unbroken Democratic delegation
All is serene every whore, except in the Sev
enth District. There i3 really no danger thero
—as either the regular nomineo or independ
ont Democrat will bo elected.
Will not every man who desires to seo the
rule of vindicative hato brought to au cud, go
to tho polls and voto tho Domocralic ticket
Lot all who aro opposed to the vile civil rights
bill turn out! Lot all who desire a restore
tiou of good government vote tbe Democratic
ticket. With a Democratic House, there will
be no more oppression—no more stealing and
no moro bayonet rule.
Hanging at Carnesville.
Tho negro convicted at Franklin Superior
Court of tho murder of Mr. Dixon, near Toe
coa city, has been sentenced to bo hung on tbe
27th of November.
Attempted Homicide.
Tho North Georgia Herald states that a ne
gro named Sam Martin struck a peaceable
inoffensive white man over the head with
hoe, while working tho public highway near
Toccoa a few days ago. The skull was frac
tured by the blow, and tho negro has been
confined in jail at Clarkosville. Tbo injured
man is named Collins.

Tho samo paper states that a guard of the
convicts near that city, named Finn,accident

His remains wero carriod to Harmony Grove

Fred Grant is any thing moro than tho aver

The Congressional Election
Will occur on Tuesday next, the Third day
of November. Remember, it is Tuesday, and

Wo Second the Motion.
Tho Constitutionalist proposes Augusta as
the placo for holding the next State Fair.
They have splondid Fairgrounds, easy of ac
cess, and there is no bettor place for holding
it. By all means give Augusta a shewing.
The State Fair.—Atlanta and Macon
have bad their share of tho Fair business.
They can afford to wait a year or two, and let
Angnsta have a chance to show what she can
do in 1875. Wo have in this city splendid
grounds and the necessary fixtures. Our ho
tel system has been mnch enlarged and im
proved, and there is no reason in tbo world
why Angnsta should not have tho next State
Fair and make it, in all respects, equal to any
thing of the kind ever presented by Macon
Atlanta. If our Fairs, in the past, have been
bat partially successful, it mast be remember
od that they wore held at a time when several
other Fairs were going on, end thus,by severe
competition, partook of the common lot of dis
aster. Snch is not now or likoly to be tbe
caso, and we call upon our citizens to make
an early effort to have the next Stato Fair lo
cated boro. If we are earnest in tbo matter
can bo accomplished. Tho substantial bene
fits of a groat Fair to a city are too obvious
mention. They readily suggest themselves
tbe reader. Wbat we desire just now is an
organized effort to secure for Angnsta the
privilege of having the next State Fair. With
a whole year to prepare, in cose ot successful
application, wbat is to prevent ne from omnia

The Northern Radical prose is now seeking
to prove tbat a state of terrorism exists
Georgia because the Radical vote is not near
bo large in some of the counties as formerly.
Thoy know better than this. They know
that tho negroes voted wherever they wanted
to—such as were qualified, acoerding to law.
Those who had not paid their taxes—just like
vrbito men in tho same condition—ware not
permitted to voto; but all who wore qualified
voted every where, as-far ns we can learn. It
is true, that in somo counties thoy did not
turn out. We do uot know why—but will
venture a nickel that they will all bo found at
tbe polls at tho Congressional election next
Tuesday.

Hon. A. 11 Stephens and Grant.
At tbe request of prominent citizens, Mr.
Stepbons addressed tbe citizens of Augusta re
cently—on which occasion bo enunciated some
Jeffersonian views, but, as usual, appeared as
tho apologist of Gen. Grant. However much
the people of Georgia may respect Mr. S. and
honor him for his past services, they cannot
agree with him in his ostimate of Gen. Grant
Stephens has beon an admirer of Grant's ever
since ho met him on his way to the Fortress
Monroe conference, but the pooplo of Georgia
cannot follow him in this particular.
We are pleased to seo that the Savannah
News, Augusta Chronicle, and other prominent
papers enter a protest against receiving Mr.
Stophons’ opinions as an exposition of tho sen
timents of his constituents.
The Savannah News, of 22d, says:
“ The Augusta papers come to us with a fui
report of Hon. A. ii, Stephens* speech, cleliv
ered in that city on Thursday last, of which a
brief telegraphic synopsis hits already been
given to the readers of tho Nows. While we
entirely accoid with Mr. Stephens in his views
of the principles upon which our Federative
system of State governments was founded, and
should be maintained, the exposition of which
occupies tho greater portion of his elaborate
argument, we must confess that, with all our
predilections of appreciation of his transcen
dent ability and long-cherished feelings of
personal esteem, we read tbat portion of his
speech in which be makes what soem9 to us
a specious and technical defense of General
Grant’s share in tbo Louisiana usurpation, and
oxpre.-ses his acquiescence in the proposed third
term innovation, with painful regret. It is
impossible to read this portion of the speech,
in which Grant’s couduct in the Louisiana in
famy is vindicated without a word of censure for
auy of tho numerous acts of oppression and out-
lage, and not bo impressed with the conviotion
tbat Mr Stephens is ready to accept Grant for
a third term or any number of terms.
Our contemporary of tho Chronicle, in intro
ducing the speech to his readers, has perform
ed a duty which it owed no less to itself as au
organ of Democratic opinion, than to tbo De
mocracy of the whole country by entering
its protest agaiDSt these views of Mr. Stephens
being received as tho sentiment of his consti
tuents of tbo Eighth Congressional District or
of tbo Jeffersonian Democracy of Goorgia. The
editor says:
As the speech is similar in character to tho
one made in Greensboro’ some weeks since and
published in tho Chronicle <£• Sentinel, wo should
not deem it necessary to add anything to wbat
we have already said concerning the opinions
expressed by Mr. Stephens were it not for the
position which tbo speaker occupies. Mr.
Stephens is tho Democratic nomineo for Con
gress from this Disteict, and tbe impression
may bo created abroad that all of his views are
sanctioned and|endorsed by the people of tbe
district and of tbo State. This is not the case.
The people respect Mr. Stephens. They give
him credit for sincerity and honesty of pur
pose. They admire his great intellect, and
thoy have a grateful remembrance of past ser
vices. But when ho defends the course of the
administration in Louisiana, and represents
Gen. Grant as a faithful official who deserves
credit for tbo manner in which he has admin
istered the affairs of tbo government, Mr.
Stephens speaks uot for his constituents but
simply and solely for himself. The peopio of
the Eighth District and of tho Stato of Georgia
regard Gen. Grant, if not tho author, as the
supporter of naked usurpation in the State of
Louisiada; they believe that the infamous en
forcement act, under tho provisions of which
whole States aro tyrannized over by Radical
partisans in the guise of Federal officials, and
tbo monstrosity known as tbo civil rights hill,
are in a great measure due to his recommen
dations, and they hold him responsible for all
tho trouhlo which has come upon the South
since his administration commenced. When
Mr. Stephens defends Grauthe speaks for him
self, not for his constituents.”

Forty-Fourth Congress.
If the ratio of Democratic gains established
by tbe October elections oan be maintained in
those which aro yet to oceur, there will be a
Democratic majority in the House of Repre
sentatives of the 44tb Congress.
Tbe great change which has oeen effected
is dne either to tbe opposition of the American
people to the iniquity known as tbe civil rights
bill or to a general and growing distrust of
Radicalism. We think it probably resalts
frotn both causes. Be this as it may, we are
willing to accept tho result as an evidence of
returning good eense, and an earnest of a gen
eral desire to bnry tbo bitter prejudices en
gendered by fanaticism and intensified by the
war.
With a Democratic House of Rapresenta-' horse-racing, and those departments
seems likely to become an important scionce.
Capt. Boutelle has much to do to keep all his

energy and long familiarity with tho instru

that should be done.
