The Election
Is quietly progressing m wo go to press. Wo
never have any riots or any trouble here, as
every body who is legally qualified, “ regard-
lees of race or previous condition of servitude,"
is permitted to vote, without molestation.
The only trouble wo bnvo ever board of. ha*
been whore colored men have denounced such
of theta number as have voted the Democrat
ic ticket. They should learn to be more tol-
erant.
It is said that the negroes will not turn out
very enthusiastically in support of O'Neal
Tboy douot like his opposition to civil rights.
Restoration—A Prophecy.
A gentleman of this county, who has not
been in the habit of prophecying concerning
events after they happened and exultiogly vo
ciferating, “ I told you so!” as the manner of
some Is—but who is generally pretty safe in
his calculations, says that the independence of
the colonies having been declared in 1776, we
date that as tbe beginning of American liber
ty. He predicts that one hundred years af
ter that period—July, 1876—a National Con
vention of the Democratic party will meet and
make a new declaration of principles, and
that iostead of eight years of bloody warfare,
success will crown their bloodless revolution
in eight months, when the now President will
he inaugurated on the 4th of March, 1877. It
is precisoly eight months from tbe 4lh of
July to the 4th of March following.
Wo hope and pray that our friend’s prophe
cy may be liiteraily fulfilled, and that this
•.treat people may witness a full restoration of
the Government to its ancient landmarks.
Dead! Dead!
Who is dead t Tbe Lien Law—which ox
pired by limitation of the Act of tbe Legisla
ture on the 1st of November. This should bo
a matter of special rejoicing to all parties con
earned. Liko many other contrivances in
tended to benefit mankind, we believe it ha*
beon an injury to a largo majority of our peo
plo. A few ol theui may have been benefited
by it, but a law which benefits the few at the
exponse of the many is a pernicious one.
This wo believe to be true of the repeal of
tho usury law, and wo hope to sec tbe Legis
lature retrace tbe false step made in this re
spect as soon as that body meets again.
Personal.
We extract tbe following pnragraph from
tho Atlanta correspondence of tbe Clironidc d
Sentinel:
The many friends of Dr. Willis F. and Mrs.
Marian Jouidan Westmoreland, the Georgiaau
thorer.s, will be gratified to learn that they
have been reconciled and are again living to

was only yesterday that marching orders came
and tbe grand army struck their tents.
Owing to the absence of the former Presi

of the convention, tbe further business of the
convention was deferred till to-morrow. Tho
audience was entertained through tbe day with

Death of Capt. limiter.
With profound regret wo record tho death
..f Capt. James H. Humor, which occurred at
Quitman, Brooks county, on Saturday last,
from a stab inflicted a negro on election
day.
it seems that a negro who wished to vote
tiio Democratic ticket and was afraid of vio
leuce from his own race, had called out Capt.
H to consult with him on the subject. He
told the colored man that the Democrats would
protect him in liia rights—that the Democrat
ic party was in favor of liberty and law, and
would protect all alike. A negro standing by
;avo him tho C d lie. whereupon Capt. II
truck him over the head with a stick, and the
negro stabbed him, of which wound ho died,
ns before stated.
Capt- Hunter was a native of Jackson coun
ty, and one of the most excellent young men
in the State. Bravo and generous—affable
and polite—he was a general favorite with all.
May " He who doeth all things well " bind up
tho lacerated hearts of the stricken family.
In the Legislature, of which body he was a
member four years, while faithful in tho dis
charge of his duties to his immediate constitu
ents, bo never forgot the section of his birth,
nor the interests of the whole people.
^ In all tbe walks of life, Capt. H. was a model
man, aud his numerous friends will long monrn
his loss.
jySorao of our city exchanges have a care
less babit of doing injustice, unintentionally,
no doubt, to their country exchanges. For
example : tbe Atlanta Herald says, *• The
Watchman tblnks our fair sadly deficient iu
many respects."
Now, tbe Southern Watchman has expressed
no opinion on tbe subject, nor has it over form-
,ed one—tbo editor not having attended the fair
—but we did state what wo understood to be
tbo opinions of tbose who visited it—showing
that eomo thought it a •• bully affair,’’ while
others objected to tbe prominence given to
borae-racing, &c., and thought tbe exhibition
“ deficient is many respects.”

Through inadvertency we neglected this
week to prepare suitable matter for our agri

only time wo have failed for years, we trust
our readers will pardon tho oversight.

Dr. Harrison before the Conrocation of Locomo
tive Engineers.
At their late meeting in Atlanta, tho Loco
motive Engineers of tho United Slates invi
ted tbe learned and eloquent Dr. Harrison to
deliver a lecture before thorn. Tbo Atlanta
News prints tbe lecture, and we have read it
with much pleasure. We make a few extracts
Irom it.
After giving a very interesting history of
the discovery of tho power of steam, the learn
ed gentleman thus describes the engine and
its uses:
Tho mysterious, invisible form we call steam
is tite child of water and beat. Essentially

The Eighth District all Right.
There being no other candidate in the field,
Mr. Stephens will, of coarse, be elected in the
Eighth District. Entertaining tbe peculiar
views he docs, his election would have been
claimed as an endorsement of tbose views, but
for tbo fact that tbe people repudiate them.
It is true, that they have not spoken author!
tativelv in all tho counties, but we have no
doubt but that they will all substantially agree
to tlte following resolutions adopted by tbe
people of Richmond last Monday night, at tho
conclusion of Hon. B. H. Hill's groat speech
in Augusta:
At the conclusion. Judge Claiborne Snead
rose and said that he bad some resolutions to
offer. He did not desire to preface them with
any remarks, as they would speak for them
solves. Ho read tlte resolutions, as follows,
amid tbe greatest enthusiasm on the part of
the audience:
Resolved, That admitting the final adjudica
tion of all legal questions arising out of tho
Louisiana embroglio to the Supremo Court of
the United States, and willing, as law-abiding
citizens, to respect, conform to and obey such
adjudication, we desire, as respects the politi
cal aspects of tho questions, to express our re
gret that tho President of the United States
has seett fit, without warrant of law, and in
violation of every principle of Constitutioual
liberty, to overthrow the lawfully elected State
Government of Louisiana, and erect iu tho
stead thereof a government of bis own.
Resolved, That ir. so arbitrary and lawless a
procedure, we recognize a course of action uu
tit for any free government, and calculated on
ly for the meridian of a despotic power.
Resolved, That, pietermitltagall past differ
ences, at.d speaking only as American citizens,
we appeal to all classes of our countrymen.
North aud South—Republican or Democrat—
to unite in suttiug the seal of their disappro
bation on so flagrant an attempt to erect a
one-man despotism iu this Republic.
Resolved, That in 1874, we re-affirm the de
claration of the people of New York, as made
iu Convention upon the 26th day of July, in
the year 1788, wbeu ratifying tho Constitution
of the United States, that tho intent and spirit
of that instrument require “ that no person
shall be eligible to the office of President of
the Uuited States a third time.”
James C. C. Black, Esq., said that believing
the resolutions to be emiueutly proper, ho
seconded them.
Major Barnes, Chairman of tho meeting, then
put tlte resolutions to a vole, and they were
unanimously adopted amid loud cheering.
Commenting upon these resolutions, the
Chronicle says, editorially, and without fear of
contradiction, “ that they embody the senti
ments of tho people of Augusta, of tbe people
of the Eighth district, and of the people of the
State of Georgia," and adds:
“ In order that there he do mistake about
tho matter, wo will state what we believe to
have been the object of tbo people in tbe adop
tion of these resolutions: If is well known that
lion. A. U. Stephens is the Democratic uomi-
uee for Congress in this district; it is equally
well known that Mr. Stephens entertains views
upon the Louisiana question which are not
shared by his constituents. To prevent mis
construction and misrepresentation, the people
of Richmond county give voice to their own
opinion upon this subject. They support Mr.
Stephens as tho nominee of their party, bnt
they do it with the distinct understanding that
on this question his views are not in aCcord-

Sad Occurrence.
A beautiful young girl, named Lizzie Me
Dowell, employed in the millinery establish
meat of Miss Mary McDowell, wasrun over and
horribly mangled by a railroad engine at the
crossing near the car-shed in Atlanta, on Sa
turday last. The sad event awakened a perfect
fitorm of indignation in tbe public mind, as we
learn from the Atlanta papers. It is a matter
ef surprise to those familiar with tbe situation
that so few accidents occur at that crossing.
It it certainly very hazardous to vehicles and
pedestrians also, and we wonder that a bridge
has not been erected there long ago, as it is
the principal thoroughfare of the city.
Louisiana Outrages.
AMqj. Merrill, of tbe United States army,
as appears from onr exchanges, has been amu
sing himself recently and serving the Radical
party by arresting and sending to jail the most
active Democrats in and around the city of
8hreveport, on charges preferred by himself
of alleged violations of tbe enforcement act.
How convenient it is, to have each men in
jail on election day! Their influence might
be felt at the polls, and thoir votes certainly
would count.
November Elections.
State elections occurred yesterday (Taesday)
in a large nnmber of States—some fifteen or
twenty, we believe—and we hope the Detnn-
eratio gains will be sufficient to seenro a ma
jority in tbe next House of Representatives,
and the majorities so heavy as to deter tbe fa
natics from passing tbe •• bill ot abominations."

the reward of food and di ink.
He is a little dainty in Ins diet, it is true, for

Referring to the discovery of the art of print
ing and tbo application of steam to tbe press
ho said:
• Whilst tbe learned men of Christendom, few
in numbers, were living on tho frugal patron-
tronage of an emperor in tho city of Constan
tine, a plodding German was catting out cu
rious blocks of wood and, blacking them with
ink, stamping on a gilded surface the pictures
of human thought- All Western Europe was
in midnight darkness of ignorance. Intellect
was in profound slumber, scarcely troubled
with a dream of literary greatness.
Hut the plodding German made a boob, and
another, and another, and another, until ,tbe
rapidity of production, the wonderful similar
jty of copies, and 'bo cheapness of volumes
aroused the grave suspicion of complicity with
$#tan. In 1452 tbe first book tbnt was born

The Wealthiest Negro in the State.
Wo are aware of tne fact that our city is
distinguished for many things, hut wo did not
know, until we met with tho following, in the
Atlanta Herald, that we could claim tho richest
negro in.the State:
A further search into tho tax books discloses
some very interesting tacts, which we present
the public. In tho first place, this property
is pretty equally divided among the whole
race. There is no one who is especially rich,
anil each one. w ho holds property at all, owns
about $3(MJ to $1,000 worth. »
We find that
THE RICHEST NEGRO IN THE STATE,
is Courtney W. Beall, of Athens, who pays
taxes on S 10.805 worth of property. From
this amount they run down to nothing.
The following is a list ot the counties in
which the negroes own over $100,000 worth of
property, and the amount they own in tbe
principal cities of these counties:
Bibb $141,681 Macon.......$
Chatham.... 281.000
Burke 120.000
Clarke 148.000
McIntosh.... 100 20!
Richmond ... 217.350
Sumter 101.405
Monroe 113.318
Fulton ...... 281.685
Thomas 125.000
Floyd 117.470
Savannah ... 262.000
Athens 67,506
Augusta..... 161,000
Atlanta 225,000
Rome ..... 59,555
The county in which the smallest amount of
negro property is owned is Union county, there
being only $510 worth. In Colquitt there is
$516 worth.
Thus it is seen iu the second place that the
property is scattered through all parts of the
State, the negro showing an unexpected pre
dilection for city property.
WHO OWNS THIS PROPERTY.
To show even further tbe.equality with which
tbe property is divided, we present a full list,
of every negro who owns over $5,000 in prop
erty, and who returns it t» the Tax Collector.
