Who shall care for Gabtbkul now ?
Well, Judge, what do you think of it

Some of the negroes explain Gabtbkll’s
minority by the absence of Jam Hubbell's
barrel.
.» A maw who votes for an Independent
votes for a Radical. Gabtbell has made
that plain.
Colored orators are in demand in Wash
ington', but ought to insist upon payment
in advance.
The fine weather of the past three weeks
would seem to warrant a cotton crop rising
6,000,000 bales.
Thebe is evidently some close commu
nfon between Independents and Jay Hub
bell's Committee.
Thu wayfaring man, though a fool, need
not doubt any more the true character of a
Georgia Independent
Independents who claim to be "as good
Democrats as anybody” have been put in a
sorry plight by Gabtbell.
Don’t hide behind an Independent fence.
Come out in your true colors. Gabtbell
has put off the shamming mask.
It is not too late for Judge Twroos to
redeem himself. Gabtbell has terribly
avenged himself upon the Judge.
Instead of unfurling his banner on every
hill top. Judge Twigos, in many places,
carries it folded up in his gripsack.
Gen. Gabtbell has killed himself more
effectually than if ho had imitated an an
cient Roman and fallen on his sword.
Ocb Atlanta correspondent must have
made a mistake when alluding to the
"Spartan” conduct of Gen. Gibtbbll.
The Athens Banner- Watchman states that
at Athens, the other night, "Mr. Speeb
ended his harangue amid prolonged cheers
for Candleb."
A obeat Biaine boom is predicted after
the Administration shall have gone to wreck
in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and
some other States.
The Agricultural Department estimates
the present Georgia corn crop at thirty
million bushels. This is said to be unpre
cedented since 1859.
He who is not fer us is against us. It is
organized Democracy now or Radicalism.
Gabtrell has unmasked himself and the
whole Independent crowd.
The Baltimore American predicts that
Mr. Stf.phenh “will be very unlike most
officials-elect if he doos not swear in and
take his seat first and then fight after
ward.”
Henry Richardson is so confident of Gov.
Comuttt'b election to succeed Mr. Hill
that he has put up the ducats that "he will
be elected Senator without a convention of
the House and Senate.”
The Charlotte Observer don't know wheth
er there is any connection between Georgia
politics and the comet, but the nucleus of
the comet parted and coalition in Georgia
"busted” about the same time.
Jones, ot Texas, who is running as an In
dependent candidate for Governor, is said
to shudder when he hears the name of
Gabtbbix mentioned. Perhaps he will not
have breath enough to contest
A Southern man, who helps break down
the Democratic party in order to save rotten
Radicalism from sinking put of sight, must
be either mad or desperate. We charitably
presume the latter to be the case.
The New York Nun sarcastically recom
mends ex-Vice-President Wheeler as Re
publican Congressman-at-Large, since "then
the ticket would be headed by contemporary
forgery and tailed by historic fraud.” ,
An English engineer who came to the
United States to find Republican simplicity
discovered instead "politics a close profes
sion, material well-being the goal of am
bition, and luxury rampant among the
rich.”
Texas is fast outstripping Illinois in grain
product, and has cotton, sugar, cattle, etc.,
to spare. Illinois is ahead of Toxas in in
temperance since, according to official sta
tistics, it takes 550 Texans to support a grog
shop, and only 250 Illinoisans.
Mahone tried to get colored Professor
Langston to take the stump in Virginia,
promising him an office after the election.
Prof. Lonoston, having no faith in Mahone,
insisted on $2,500 cash "in hand. He got
his prioe. Sensible Professor, so far as
money is concerned.
The Rome Courier has an idea that Gen.
Gabtbbix's contest is intended "to obstruct
Gov. Colquitt's election to the United
States Senate, as the law makes him Gov
ernor until his successor is inaugurated,
and the parties engaged in this humbng
think that they can protract the investiga
tion for an-indefinite time.”
Alexander H. Stephens told the colored
men, in a speech in Augusta, (la., on Monday
night, that his position upon slavery had al
ways been that Gon would not smile upon any
institution that denied knowledge to the human
mind.—lV. K Times.
And yet these negroes, in the mass, at
Crawfordville and other places, voted against
Mr. Stephens and in favor of the man who
denied them liberty, as well as knowledge.
President Arthur looks the picture of
health, but he really suffers from a kidney
complaint, aggravated by mental worry and
high living. Dr. Marion Sims is sad to
prescribe quiet and rest, as absolute condi
tions of recovery He is not likely to have
any repose. No President can count npon
anything of the kind. So, Mr. Arthur is
in a bad way.
Prof. Langston, Prof. Gbxxneb and Com
missioner Douglass, colored orators and
politicians, are to take the stump in Vir
ginia against Rev. Dawson, a man of their
own color, and in favor of John 8. Wise, a
white renegade. Against them is to appear
"a distinguished colored lawyer, writer and
thinker, now a resident of the State of New
York, the fall equal in point of ability of
either of the above named 'big four.' "
The New York Herold pronounces the
Republican Campaign Book, edited by
Jat Hubbell, Gabtbeix's chum, "the Yun
nieet book of the sason.” The Herald adds:
"We heartily commend the book to every
one who wants to laugh. It may—or
should—cost the Republican party at least
a million votes, but that is of no particular
consequence, for one hearty laugh will do
more good than the party of moral ideas

“D xmocbat” pays a deserved compliment
to Mr. .Jamis R. Randall, in suggesting his
name to the Democratic Convention, to as
semble on the 30th of October, for Mr.
Stephens’ unexpired term in Congress. Mr.
Randall has rendered long and able service
to the party, and the suggestion of our cor
respondent is a graceful tribute to his ser
vices It is due to Mr. Randall to say that
thia oommunication was written without bis
knowledge or consent
T«at "irresistible host” of our corner
contemporary has been heard from down
in Georgia. Ito advance corps, under Gen

guard, under Alexander Stephens, last
’ Tuesday. When last heard from General
Gabtbell had changed his base and falling
back on the headwaters of Salt River,
where he expects to be reinforced early in
November by the maip army under Gen

Mississppi, under General Chalmebs.—

Hon. A. H. Stephens has resigned his po
sition as a member of Congress from this
District and Gov. Colquitt has ordered an
elect on to fill the vacancy. The election
will lake place on the 7th of November.
There is ample time for the Convention to
be called and a nomination to be made fa
acmrdenoe with the usages of the party.
The Cldurm&n of the Executive Committee
should call a meeting at once. H ear able
and distinguished fellow-citizen, Hon. J.C.

.-TDK HERO Os THK HOCB."
Ths "hero of the hour,” in Missouri, is
•Frank James, bandit and murderer, who
has deemed it the part of prudence to sur
render himself to the State authorities, and
no doubt with a comfortable assurance of
the mercy of the Court. ,Had Mr. Fbank
Jambs been celebrated for a pure and virtu
ous life, filled with generous deeds and noble
aspirations, be would not be "the hero of
the hour.” Men and women would not
crowd the railway stations to catch a
glimpse of him and go crazy over
a glance from his eye or a word from his
tongue. There is perhaps not a crime in
the calendar that Frank Jambs has not
conspicuously illustrated, and yet he is
"the hero of the hour,” in Missouri. Talk
about dime novel corruption ! What is a
crate-full of dime novel sensations compared
with the ovation of Fbank James in Missouri?
A fresh crop of outlaws will probably be the
result of this new drama in the Northwest,
founded in fact. Boys who have been
taught that “virtue is its own reward” may
recklessly prefer to be “heroes of the hour.”
COLD COMFORT.
The Atlanta Herald thinks that the organ
ized Democracy have nothing to befeat of
when calmly considering the figures of the
recent election, placed beside those of
1876 and 1880. Well, we beg leave to dif
fer in opinion. Had Mr. Stephens been
confronted by a regular Republican, he
would have matched the 80,000 majority of
Gov. Colquitt over Nobcboss, just as he
bids fair to go beyond the Colquitt majority
of 54,000 over Nobwood, in 1880. It is
possible that Independents show an exist
ence that nobody doubted, but nothing has
yet happened to demonstrate that they can
not be beaten out ot sight whenever the
necessity for so doing arises.
If the Herald can console itself for the re
cent Waterloo by gathering up a few cheese
parings and calling them substantial nour
ishment, nobody need object. But it will
only get laughed at when claiming Gab
tbbll’h tremendous defeat as a real victory,
and predicting the triumph of Independ,
ents in 1884.
TIIK SKCONO SOUTH CAROLINA DIS
TRICT.
E. M. Bbatton, carpet-bagger, who camo
South just after the war and held office ever
since, secured the Republican nomination
fir Congress in the Second South Carolina
District. Mr. Duncan, of Barnwell, who
calls himself an Independent, is also run
ning. Hon. Geo. D. Tillman is the Demo
cratic nominee. There is no sort of oom
parison between these men. Tillman is a
statesman, an experienced public servant, of
wide and conspicuous reputation, profound
in all the learning of his vocation, a patriot
and an honest man. He has worked his
way to the front in the House of Represen
tatives, as a conscientious legislator and
an orator of National fame. He is
the overwhelming choice of all the society
and civilization of hia District V o»th con
sidering. Os Mr. Duncan we know little or
nothing. He has not the remotest chance
of being elected, and from all accounts, if
persisting as a candidate, eas only weaken
Tiixman and aid Bratton, the ebronic of
fice holder and Radical Republican emis
sary. If Mr. Duncan be what his friends
claim he is, he will not for an instant re
main the catspaw of Brayton. A corres
pondent of the.. Veins and C airier well says
that “nnlees he be the secret ally of Bray
ton he will withdraw from the race si
and throw all his strength in favor of the
regular Democratic nominee.’
We have no doubt of Tillman's trium
phant election, in any event, but his can
vass should not. by any South Carolina
white man, be made any more onerous than
ordinary circumstances justify; He has had
to fight hard and long for his position. He
has borne serious financial burdens for the
Commonwealth’s proper representation at
Washington. He has illustrated th*. Ulate
in the Federal Congress and over the whote
Union. We hope, therefore, that Mr. Till
man may have an unobstructed contest with
the internal revenue officer opposed to him,
whose chance of election is the dimmflst be
fore the people, and whose hope ot being
seated on a contest is paling daily before
the certainty of a Democratic House in the
Forty-Eighth Congress.
THK MILKING PROCESS.
Congressman Buttbbwobth, in a recent
speech, gave an illustration of the situation
in the East and West with reference to in
ternal improvements. He said: “The
truth of the matter is that we-have raised a
great National cow, with her forefeet on this
side of the Alleghenies and her hind quar
ters on the other side. The people of the
West have been feeding her and the peo
ple of the East milking her, and now we
propose to turn the animal around.
If that be true of the West, which Rufus
Hatch declares to be the wonder of the
world in progress and wealth-absorption,
not to speak of political domination, how
mneb' more apt w.onld the illuetration be
come if applied to the South, which is
milked by the East and West, not to speak
of the Federal Government? When the
West succeeds politically in "turning the
animal around,” the East will have to seek
another ally. From all accounts, the
West is largalrmortgaged in Boston and
New York. It will not be easy for
Mr. Buttkbwobth’s people to shake off the
grasp of the money lender. But if they
succeed in so doing, the East has but one
recourse to save herself commercially and
politically, and that is by a Southern alli
ance. If the Western cow kicks too much,
the Eastern owner may change his policy
and turn Southward for relief. It is hard
for either West or South to escape altogether
from being "milked” by the. East, but at
present the South gets mighty little for her
lacteal supply compared with the West It
may be that the East wiU have to consider
the worth of butter, as well as the Btrnai
wobth. A transfer.of New England and
New York investments from the West to
the South may be one of the marvels of the
near future. Wonderful, indeed, will be
the commercial and political revolution
when that shail ocehr—if it ever does.
MR. BLAIN K'S POLICY.
Ths contest between Arthub and Blaine
is the renewal of the strife between Gab
field and Gunauu Republican factions. It
is a grand move on the ehres-board for the
Presidency in 1884. Mr. Abthub hopes, by
coalition with Mahone, Cash, Chalmebs &
Co., to debaneh the South and control the
delegates to the nominating convention.
Mr. Blaine is obliged to take the opposite j
course in order to defeat the scheme. He |
and his friends, therefore, cW3 have no
sympathy with the unholy alliances at the
South, and he and his friends will have no
team to shed if Arthur &, Go. are defeated
in New York, Virginia, North Caro
lina, South Carolina and Mississippi. To
have Don Cambeon smashed in Pennsylvania
and Foster in Ohio will delight his soul. A .
very'welt informed and analytical correspon
dent of the Boston Port puts in the form of
a clever soliloquy Mr. Blaine’s ideas thus:
"If I want the Republican nomination, Mr.
" Arthur must be believed to bs nnpopu
" tar. In order to make him appear un
" popular, the first year of his Administra
“ tion must be followed by a defeat of the
•• Repnlican party, and the party must be
" defeated so badly that the Democrats shall
" have tbe next House of Representatives.
•• Having carried Maine, it will be evident
“ to the party that I represent the Gabreld
“ element of tbe party, the element that is,
■< dissatisfied •with Mr. Abthub and the
“ Stalwarts. This will probably give me
“ the nomination in 1884. The victory of
" the Democrats thia year will not really
" hurt the party. The Democrats will prob
" ably not uso their power wisely, and the
“ country will be tired of them and ready
" to return to the Republican fold in 1884.
" Moreover a victory tius year wiH not be
•• so much a victory over the party as over
•< the Stalwarts.”
The Democratic opportunity for present
and future triumph rests between Abthub
and Blaine. They are not apt to be re- :
conciled and their feud will grow rather
than subside. They may knife each other
in MSB4 and consent perforce to the tri-
‘ ij* L' r -L1 ' \ J
* •« . . ' •
CHRONICLE CONSTITUTIONALIST, AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 11, 18811
—————————
umphant nomination of a third person, not
now perhaps thought of. But one des
perate hope remains to both and that is
"the usual Democratic blunder.” That
blunder has been avoided so far, much to
the amazement of the Republican sentinels
on tbe watch tower, and it will probably fail
to "materialize” in 1884. The masses of
the Democracy are all right and ready for a
general advance, but they must be wisely
prudently and valiantly and honestly led.
Give them the leadership they deserve and
both Blaine and Abthub will be retired for
good. Meanwhile, go it, Abthub !; go it,
Blaine!
MR. BLACK DECLINES.
Hon. James C. C. Black declines to allow
the use of his name before the Convention,
for Mr. Stephens' unexpired term. We
have no doubt as to what the action of the
Convention would be, as stated in the
Chbonicle of Sunday, but Mr. Black de
clines the compliment of filling out an un
expired term. Without any conference
with him, we felt assured that he would
not allow the use of his name before the
Convention. When Mr. Black goes to Con
gress, as he is certain to do if his life is
spared, we want him not only to go for a
full term, but for as many terms as he is
willing to serve bis people. His devotion
to the party, his magnanimity and hia ser
vices in this campaign, his pre-eminent
ability and his exalted character constitute
him one of the foremost men in the State.
The time is not distant when the people
will call Mr. Black to public station worthy
of his talent and his character.
GABTRELL UNMASKS.
For tome weeks, during the Gubernato
rial canvass, the Chronicle insisted, at all
times, that Gen. Gabtbell was using the
disguise of at Democrat to serve the Radical
party. We furnished proof after proof of
thia charge. It was shown that he had been
endorsed by the two wings of the Radical
party in Georgia, and that his candidacy
had the encouragement and approval of the
Akthub-Guiteau Administration. General
Lonostbeet was produced as a witness to
demonstrate that coalition with so-called In
dependents was the sole hope of Republi
can success, North and South; and we fur
nished the bold, frank statement of Geobge
0. Gobham, the right-hand man of Abthub
and Mahone, to certify that what Gen
eral Lonostbew declared was indeed
the policy of the leaders of " the lot
tery of assassination.” We pointed out
also that the moment a Democrat
announced himself as an Independent can
didate and sought Republican votes to
cripple or destroy the organized party, he
had virtually gone over to the common en
emy and must be treated as a traitor, who,
pretending to be a Democrat, serves the
foes of Democracy,and has in his public utter
ances no word of censure for the Jacobins
who propose to regain power in the South by
just snch miserable pretenses. In spite of
this cumulative evidence which ought to
havc i convinced every man of sense or rea
son, thousands of persons in Georgia re
fused to believe the charge, and favored
Gen. Gabtbell. What the Chbonicle
failed with inexorable logic and abundant
evidence, to accomplish, Gen. Gabtbell
has himself made manifest. Not satisfied
with overwhelming defeat, he proposes
to contest the election, assisted by the Secre
tary of Jay Hubbell's pirate committee at
Washington. It is an ill bird that fouls its
own nest, and if there is a better human
illustration of that bird than General Gab
tbei.l we have no knowledge of him. Whom
does he call upon to aid and assist him in
proving evil things against Georgia? The
same Radical Machine, here and abroad,
that reeks with corruption and infamy too
all-pervading for conception or detail. He
calls upon the men who organized a hell in
Georgia and the whole South. He calls
upon the men who, by force and fraud,
made universal suffrage “universal damna
tion.” He calls upon the men who out
lawed our people and disfranchised decency.
He calls npon ths men who made the
satrap dominant in our home affairs and
the corporal of the guard the judge of our
ejections. He calls upon the men who swin
dled TjlPen out of the Presidency and re
warded tii& Louisiana Returning Board
Rogues. He calls upon the men who have
filched the earnings of the Washington
clerks and Federal office holders to perpetu*
ata their power. He calls upon the men
who tiwo nominated Foloer by fraud. He
calls upon who raid the South with
their internal revenue ©yrmidons and mur
der our mountain men. lie eUta upon the
men who abet Mahone and Chalmers and
bargain with every Southern man who has a
pries, tie upon the Republican party
which has eommittad every crime against
liberty, and which is so Hubbellized that de
feat stares it in the lacs East and
West as a rebuke for its villainy. Be
eauM fho people of Georgia chose to re
buke a-natiee revolt and Abthub’s patron
age and Mahonb*« teaching, and Gorham’s
expectations and the laaepsfideut masquer

1 election 1 Well, General, go cu with your
00 ntC< You hay® nothing more to lose.
Yon have an»asked yourself completely.
None is so poor do «vej.cnce now.
You do not even know «“W to die with dig

the counterfeit of pride. Had you been as
well known a week ago as you are to-day',
the majority against you would not have
been simply 60,000 but 120,000. We say
of Gabtbell to the Radicals here and
abroad as Ben Hill said to them in the
Senate about Mahone; “Take him.
You are welcome to him!” Much good
may he do you. Hubbell, the brigand,
may fall upon his neck, in a warm embrace.
ABTHUB-may take him by the hand. Conk
ling may smile upon him. Mahone and
Chalmebs may osculate him. Dobiey and
Brady and Gobham may flatter him. Bat
never again will Lucius J. Gabtbell rise
before Georgia in hope or esteem. Joy
go with him. We are well rid of him,
the more so as just such dead weights to
Republicanism make Democratic victory all
the more certain. If Judge Twiggs is not
aware of the deadlystab this has given the
ghost of a chance hehad of carrying any
county in thia District, he may be satisfied
to go to a country of the blind where not
even the one-eyed man exists to be King.

(Specials to Chronicle and OonstitatianaliAt.)
Atlanta, Ga., October 6.—The returns
are all in and the count made. Stephens
has carried Fulton by 863. Gartrell pro
poses to contest the election, not, he says,
that he will win, but to show up the cor
ruption, fraud, bribery and crime com
mitted by the Democratic party at every
election in Georgia. There is some talk on
the streets in regard to Lamar’s card, reply
ing to Colqfaitt. That card, as viewed by
many, leaves Colquitt only two modes of
escape, to fight or apologize. This is a
mere opinion. The card appeared in the
Telegraph and Messenger of to-day. In the
Senatorial race much dissatisfaction is ex
pressed by the friends of Fergason. Hoyt,
they claim, has been counted in. Lively
times ahead are promised. E. Y.

Washington, October 6.—Mr. Henderson,
Secretary of the Republican Central Com
mittee in this city, received to-night a tele
gram from E. A. Buck, Chairman of the Re
publican State Committee of Georgia, in
which the latter says that in behalf of Gen.
Gartrell, he will contest the election of Mr.
Stephens on several grounds, viz: Bribery
of voters at the polls, open and notorious
intimidation, false count by managers, fail
ure to open precincts in several counties ac
cording to law and the voting of convicts
under guard, some of whom were minora.
He says he will summon many witness, in
cluding Senator Brown, and asserts that the
charges made will be fully sustained.
Mr. Stephens Reetgne as Congressman.
Atlanta, October 6.—To-day Mr. Ste
phens, the newly elected Governor, sent to
the Governor his resignation of the office of
Congressman from the Eighth Congressional
District, which was accepted, and an elec
tion to fill the vacancy has been ordered for
November 7th. Gen. Gartrell, the defeated
candidate for Governor, will contest the
election, without the hope of getting the
office, but to show alleged fraud and intimi
dation, and he hopes thereby to keep Mr.
Stephens out till May next.

Stephens and the State House officers got
an overwhelming majority,and Independent
candidates ore beaten but the majority is
small. The odds against which we had to
contend were terrible on account of the
race issue made by the Independent ticket
and then they joined with it the whiskey
issue. They were betting on six hundred
majority against us and with all the odds
against us we beat them. P.

(Front the Philadelphia Timea.i
At the regular Republican headquarters
yesterday afternoon, while Secretary Tag
gart and half a score of clerks were busy at
desks and tables in the main room, a young
girl, about eighteen years of age, of prepos
sessing appearance and plainly but neatly
dressed, came in. Hesitating aa »he enter
ed the room, in evident embarrassment she
asked "Is Senator Thomas, Cooper in?”
"He is not,” said Secretary Taggart, ris
ing and walking fcrw.Qfd. **oan Ido any
thing for you?”
‘Tve brought my money,” said tfce gjri,
drawing out a well worn-old pocket book
and taking ont two one dollar bills. Sec
retary Taggart was at once himself again.
Jumping into a chair at the table again, be
asked Chn girl to sit down, while he opened
a drawer ana tooi out a book.
In Senator Coopers prjyate room at the
same time loud voices and
laughter were heard, and there came out
and filled the main room a thick cloud of
smoke from fragrant Havana cigars. The
smokers were Senator Cameron, who a few
days ago aeoording to an enthusiastic and
admiring Washington letter-writer, sat be
fore a safe of the Guarantee Ifife and Trust
Company and clipped coupons for four
hours, Secretary Quay, and a few boon com
panions. They telling funny stories
and over them.
Secretary Taggart, Jiavjng opened his
book, looked across the table at the young
woman, who sat abashed, evidently paused
to such scenes.
“How much is it ?" asked the Secretary.
“Two dollars,” said thdgirl, tremulously.
She handed the money over, the Secre
tary dropped, it jn to a drawer, turned the
key, entered the sum oa p book, and began
to make out a receipt.
“What’s your first name?” he asked
“ Emma,” said the girl, timidly.
Mr. Taggart wrote it out and handed her
“I suppose," sai£ the girl, rising as she
folded tha receipt, “every little helps.”
“Oh, yes,” said Mr. Taggart, mechani
cally.
"And it doesn’t make any difference—
my giving it to you instead of Mr. Cooper,

“Oh, no," said the amiable Secretary.

tion on the 7th day of November next, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Hon. A. H. Stephens aa a member of
Congress from Georgia, of the 47th Con
gress, therefore, I, as Chairman of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee, for the Eighth
Congressional District of Georgia, hereby
request the members of said committee to
meet in the city ot Augusta, on the 19th
day of October, 1882, to select the time and

holding the election being so near at hand,
I, as Chairman of the Executive Committee,
suggest that the Nominating Convention be
held in the city of Augusta, on the 30th day
of October, 1882, ana that the Chairman of
the several County Executive Committees
of the District call the Democracy of their
counties together, at. as early a date as
practicable, and select delegates to the said

MB. STEPHENS* UNEXPIRED TERM.
James R. Randall For tbe Vacancy.
Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist :
On the 7th of November the voters of thia
Congressional District will be called on not
merely to select a member for the next Con
gress, but also to fill the vacancy for the un
expired term of Mr. Stephens, commencing
on the day of his resignation, taking effect
tbe 4th of November, and ending on the
4th of March next. Mr. Black’s declination
leaves the field open, and it is the purpose
of the writer to call the attention,of the
people to tbe pre-eminent qualifications of
the distinguished gentleman whose name
heads this article for this important public
trust. James R. Randall would bring to
the discharge of the duties of this high
office great native ability, enlarged culture,
thorough acquaintance with the politics of
the country, and a familiarity with every
requirement pertaining to the pcsition,
acquired through a residence at Washington
during several sessions of Congress. His
claims on the party—and claims on the
Democratic party—and claims on the coun
try, deserve and receive this public recogni
tion. No man during the recent
campaign has rendered greater or more
devoted service. He sounded the first
bugle notes of alarm, and he continued
throughout the fight, urging on the lagards,
encouraging the timid, rousing the doubt
ful and summoning all to duty, until over
whelming victory crowned our efforts. But
these services are but a repetition of those
which he has rendered in behalf of true
Democracy from his earliest manhood.
Through the columns of the press, both at
home and in Washington, he has been at
all times, in season of victory or despon
dency, always the able and eloquent cham
pion of local self-government, and the firm
and fearless opponent of centralization and
empire. He is, in a peculiar manner, an
especial representative of thq Democratic
press of this Congressional District, a press
which has so ably advocated in the past the
true principles of free government, and
which contributed so much to tbe achieve
ment of our recent splendid success. The
time is short, and our action should be im
mediate and spontaneous. Let our people
throughout the District unite at once and
award this post of honor to a man, worthy
of it alike by services and qualifications.
We believe the suggestion will everywhere
meet with favorable consideration, and we
trust this important vacancy will be filled
by the able, eloquent and accomplished
Randall. Democrat,
A CARD FROM HON. J. V. C. BLACK.
Augusta, Ga., October 9, 1882.
Editors Chroniole and Constitutionalist :
Your last issue suggested that if I would
accept the nomination for Mr. Stephens’
unexpired term, the Convention would
doubtless tender it to me.
While I am not authorized to assume that
such would be the case, I would respectful
ly decline the nomination if tendered.
I could accomplish very little if any good
in bo short a time, and J have no desire to
go to Congress for the mere name. Before
the meeting of the late Convention which
nominated a candidate for the Forty-eighth
Congress | expressed the opinion that who
ever might bp nominated should be elected
for the un expired term, as be would have
that much more experience, and thus be
better qualified to discharge his important
duties.
Public office should be bestowed only
to promote the public interest, and not as a
compljment.
Profoundly grateful for the support and
sympathy I have received from many other
friends, as well as yourselves, in my candi
dacy qnd defeat, and without the slightest
unkindneßs to any who opposed me, I beg
leave to retire from public attention to my
station in private life.
Very truly yours, J. 0. C. Black.

(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
St. Johns, N. F., Ootober9. —The steamer
Herder, of the Hamburg American line,
from New York, October filth, for Hamburg,
was lost near Cape Baca last night She
had on board 288 passengers. All hands
are reported saved.
St. Johns, N. F., October 9. The
steamer Herder ran ashore at the eastward
head of Long Beach, about three miles
west of Cape Race, at two o’clock
this morning during a dense fog.
All the passengers and crew were
landed without accident. The Herder
was of about 3,500 tons burden. She had
a crew of abont 100 men with 39 cabin and
94 steerage passengers. The passengers
and crew will be brought here by a special
steamer and cared for by the German Con
sul. It is believed that the ship and cargo
will be a total loss.
St. John's, N. F., October 9.—The fol
lowing additional particulars 'have been
received from Cape Race regarding the
loss of tbe steamer Herder: "The
Herder left New York on the afternoon
of Thursday last and experienced fine
weather up to yesterday evening, when a
dense fog set in, and the necessary precau
tions were taken to avoid, if possible, the
accidents liable to occur under such circum
stances. Everything went on as usual, aud
no danger was apprehended until two
o’clock this evening, when the ship sudden
ly, and before her officers were aware of her
proximity to land, ran on the rocks immedi
ately eastward 6f the head of Long Beach,
about three miles west of Cape Race. The
passengers and crew were all landed safely
at daylight, in eight boats belonging to the
ship,’ and are now being well cared for
by the families living near the scene of the
disaster. The passengers and crow speak io
the highest termsofOapt. Tivehbeinandhis
officers, who were remarkably cool and selt
possessed throughout. The baggage of the
passengers and all tbe mails, consisting of 76
bags, were saved. The ship is certain to he
a total wreck, but it is believed that some of
the cargo will be saved in good condition.
Parties just from the wreck report that
the Herder lies across a small cove with her
starboard side completely under water.
There is little probability of the hull break
ing up so long as the wind continues from
the present point the northwest—but
should it veer any farther to the Westward
a heavy sea would be sure to heave in and
make it impossible to do anything worth
while in the way of taking out the cargo.
As soon as the intelligence of the disaster
reached here the German Consul. R. H.
Prowz, Esq., hired the steamer Neptune
and dispatched her to the assistance of the
ship-wrecked people. She left for Cape
Race at 6 o’clock this evening, taking a
large supply of provisions, the Consul
having ascertained by telegraph that only a
small portion of the ship’s stores had been
saved.
Later.—Parser Mayor says the passen.
gers were perfectly cool, and manifested no
disposition to disregard orders. They are
now in tents made of sails saved from the
wreck, there being only two houses at Long
Beach. The ship continues in the same
position. Some fishing boats are around,
but more out of curiosity than anything
else, and no danger of an attempt to meddle
with the cargo is apprehended. Valuable
silver ware, three cases of specie, eta.—
were saved this evening. Nothing remains
on board now but the cabin furniture and
the cargo. The passengers and crew are
expected to reach St. John's to-morrow
afternoon.

• New Yobk, October 7.—Emma Strauss,
t aged 20 years, was found dead in her room
this morning in a hotel No. 90 Oourtlandt
I street. Her death was caused by suffoca
t tion from gas. She arrived here yesterday
■ on the steamer Silesia of the Hamburg line,
r from Wurtemburg and was going to New
• Orleans to reside with some friends. It is
3 not believed that she committed suicide but
3 it is thought that she blew out the gas in

I Pensacola, October 7.—The Italian bark
t Catena Aloiame caught fire abont 1 o’clock
i this morning. The firemen went uut to
her, and by 6 o’clock had control of the
• flames. The Captain of a steam tug then
• took charge of the pipes. Firemen Leonard
i and Lebaron stayed by the vessel, notwith
-3 standing the action of the Captain of the
! steam tug, until 7 o’clock, in order that the

i Richmond, Va., October 7,—Tho steamer
- Havana and Alliance, of the West Point and
; Baltimore Line, came in collision this
I morning, about four miles from West Point,
I during a dense fog. The Alliance sustain
’ ed some damage to her bow and the Ha
vana had about ten feet of her bulwarks for
ward of tbe starboard wheel smashed and
one or two state-rooms stove. No one was
injured on either vessel but the passengers
were greatly frightened and many pro-
j vided themselves with life preservers pre
, paratory to buffeting the waters. Every
thing soon quieted, however, and, after as
, oertaining that the damages were not too
! serious, both steamers proceeded on their re
j spective voyages.
f Pensacola, October 7.—The fire at War-
rington, Fla., destroyed almost the entire
t business part of the town. As work in the
navy yard has been suspended for some
months, many people owning property
. there were obliged, on account of the hard
times, to relinquish their policies, and the
consequence is that of the forty to forty
five thousand dollars’ loss not more than
j twenty thousand dollars is covered by in
surance. Many have lost all they possessed.
, A strict quarantine has been maintained
against Pensacola since the outbreak of the
yellow fever, and the insurance adj asters
t and others must keep clear of Pensacola
while en route to Warrington.
‘ San Francisco, October 7.—A dispatch
. from Tucson, Arizona, says tbe Star publishes
[ the report of the grand jury, charging that
the Oibicu prisoners pow in jail here are in
nocent of any crime, and that the guilty In
, dians were long ago permitted to escape
. through the connivance of Indian agent
, Tiffany. That officer, it appears from the
. evidence given before the grand jury, not
only arranged to have the guilty Indians
. get away, but purposely arrested in
, nocent Indians and had them in
confinement for months to cover the
flight of the murderers. That it was no
mistake but a conspiracy on the part of the
agent is shown by the evidence of Indians
, to-day, to whom Tiffany revealed his plan
and told them that this was the only way to
save the others from being shot. The
i Indians also testified to a regular system of
batter of Indian goods by Tiffany with mer
chants of Globe, Maxey aud other point?.

,f Columbia, 8. U., October 7.—Two or
three days since a noisy, big-mouthed, loud
talking, seH-oonieited honest John Green
e backer was in a certain store in the upper
1 oity ’ to impress every one
I with the importance of putting the Green
i back party into office in the State. He
claimed that they were the only honest and
capable party now in existence. He was
o V ? I 7 earnest end loud in his denunciations
i, of the Democratic party; in fact, so much
e so, that ever; one turned off from him in
a periectriisgnst. The sequel is that before
r- he left the store he was caught trying to
steal a quantity of goods. Independents,
Greenbackers and Republicans still cling
to "Honest John’s” principles. We pro

k Wabbknton, October 6.—One of the
f- strongest and most effective speeches made
h during the Gubernatorial campaign was
that which Judge Pottle delivered to his
countrymen on Tuesday last, at this place,
lhe court room was crowded with
e an appreciative audience, among whom
e y era * , number of the ladies of Warren
tt ton. The distinguished gentleman pre
sented the “political issue" fairly and
’ squarely, and frequently the building re
d sounded with applause. Hie eulogy of ex
e President Davis was received with an en
n thusiasm which plainly indicated the deep
affection entertained by Georgians for the
retired statesman and patriot. I shall not
L . attempt a synopsis of the speech, believing
st .at justice would not be done it by so do
is In the opinion of many persons, the
address had much to do with the splendid
“ victory achieved by the Democracy of this
county on Wednesday last. Early in the
afternoon of the day of election preparations
t were made by the citizens to celebrate the
’ Democratic success. Soon after night an
immense fire was lighted in front of the
j Court House, the Democratic clans gathered
k and the Warrenton Brass Band discoursed
airs appropriate to the occasion. 001. A. 8.
, r Morgan, Senator-elect from this District,
opened the speaking and was followed by
e Major 0. E. McGregor, and then Judge W.
g M. Reese was loudly called for and respond
l6 ed briefly. Judge Pottle, and E. T. Davis,
Esq., spoke afterward, the utmost en-
, thusiasm prevailing. Three individuals
jJ who had been put on notice of the jollifioa
lt tion and asked to speak, determined to
escape the task, and leaving the hotel
wended their way to a bench beyond the
s Court House, where in apparent safety
„ from interruption, they designed acting
is merely as spectators. “Some evil genius,”
lt however, discovered their lounging place
and it was determined by the crowd to
capture them. They were surrounded in
an instant, the band marched down, faced
k them and brayed loudly. Two of the three
k were captured and made to speak while the
0 third stepped around the corner and
e quietly escaped. But not contented with
Q a dozen speeches, the happy crowd
q then visited the home of a promi
nent attorney who resides here, and,
e calling him to the door, he was compelled
e to speak in his night shirt and slippers.
Q . Though his garb was novel, the ringing tones
h of the orator had before been heard in the
cause of Democracy, and, I predict, will yet
be heard over the bustle of our most angust
, r assemblies; but he will scarcely forget in
j years of the future, the one speech made
ig while appareled in the light covering of
t, night.
H Court proceedings have been dwarfed by
politics. Yesterday Major Cumming scored
f . a victory for the Georgia Railroad, and to
d day Jack Pevy, white, accused of assault
B with intent to murder, is on trial.

COWHIDE AND COLTS!
The Republican Party Under Arm* On
e Dublin Bridge—Origin and Kxtent of
e the Difficulty—Th* Party to Conte Into
e Conrt To-Oay.
y Yesterday morning a difficulty was
1 threatened out near the Union Passenger
® Station, which attracted more attention
a from its political significance than from
- any sanguinary results. Early in the
• morning Rev. W. J. White was informed
at his residence on Campbell street that R.
8 R. Wright was lying in wait for him near
a the freight depot of the Georgia Railroad.
Both parties are colored men, high and in
. fluential in political circles of their party,
and between them considerable rivalry for
t leadership is said to obtain. Theßev.
White immediately repaired to the city,
‘ and when near Dublin bridge, was con
g fronted by Wright who threatened him
t with a cowhide. White’s son, J. T. White,
who was with him, immediately drew a
t revolver and pnt it to Wrights’ head, who
H in turn is said to have drawn a weapon. As
honors were now easy, each party seemed
' to draw off before blows were dealt or blood
( was spilt.
( The trouble originated from a personal
3 rather than a political difference, attendant
upon the recent State election. Republican
tickets were issued for that election with
, the name of W. J. White and R. R. Wright
3 upon them. These tickets seem to have
been anticipated, however, by Wright him
self, who published a card in Wednesday
morning’s Chbonici.e, declaring that he was
not a candidate for representative, and that
the tickets upon which Wright’s name ap
, peered were printed in White’s office.
1 Wright concluded his card:
. “Either he or some other evilly disposed
; person placed my name there without my
authority or approval, and I denounce it as-
1 unkind.”
r Sunday's Chronicle also contained a card
a signed by John 8. Nelson and Oaehin
1 Smith, corroborating Wright’s statement,
i and asserting that his name was placed
on the ticket voted far at the last
- election without his knowledge and against
r his will; the card also declared that any
i statement to the contrary was false and ma
s lieious. Saturday’s issue of the dwrqia
- Baptist, a colored journal published in this
s city, and of which Rev. W. J. White is
editor and general manager, contained this
paragraph :
r “Richard R. Wright, the unprincipled,
unscrupulous and lying political fraud,
9 publicly declared that he was not a candi
r date for the Legislature, and then secretly
I had tickets put out with his name on them.”
9 It was evidently this shot which brought
< out the eowhide and Colt’s revolvers. All
1 parties were reported to the police precinct
. yesterday, and required to appear this
morning before the City Recorder. R. R.
■ Wright and J. T. White will answer tn the
, charges of carrying concealed weapons,
f while W. J. White and the other two will
. also plead to the charge of violating the 18th
section. For tI)Q present the Repnblioan
l Independent party has assumed a position
of armed neutrality toward itself in Bich-
• mond county, and “grim visaged waif has
i smothered its ruffled front.” .

A BOLD qAHK BLOCKED.
L A FJot Against the Chief of the Bnrean
' of Engraving and Printing.
(By Telegraph la the Chronicle.)
October B.—Wm.’ F. Balter
' and Wilmot Ward, of this city, were arrested
at the instance of the Secretary as the Trea
sury, at a late hour last night, and commit
ted to jail upon the charge of being en
gaged ip a conspiracy to steal bonds and
Platea from the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, and of endeavoring to bribe the
employes of that bureau to assist them :
therein. It appears from the researches of i
the detectives that the object of the con
spirators in endeavoring to get bonds and
plates from the bureau was not direct pecu
niary gain, siucA taay had no intention of
in counterfeiting. Their aim
gather, as stated by themselves, was to bring
about the removal of the present Chief of |
Bureau, by causing it to appear that his
management was so loose and inefimieat as
to make the theft of Vftos and plates a
comparatively easy matter, and so careless
as to destroy public confidence in the in
tegrity eFGovernment securities. Salter, it
is said, represented to dissatisfied employes
of the Bureau, whom he attempted bribe,
that he was acting in the of Benj.
L. Berry, a prominent ppirtipian of Penn
sylvania, who Vva£ supported by Senator f
Cameron cmi tbe Pennsylvania delegation ■
as. u candidate for Colonel Irish’s position,
and who, he said, would certmgiy get the
place if the latter could bp ousted. In that
event he (Salle?). would, be Assistant Obfof '
of the Runam end would reward with pzo
motlpns the men who assisted to bring
about the removal of OoJ. The two
men will have a examination
to-morrow.
WAStirsaKK, October 9. William EL
Salts? qpd Wilmot H. Ward were this after
noon arranged before United States Com- 1
missioner Bundy, charged with attempting
to unlawfully obtain possession of tbe dis
tinctive paper used iq, printing revenue
stamps and in the. bureau of. En- 1
graving and Printing, through the bribery
of employes. After a short argument be
tween counsel, examination was waived and 1
Mr. Coyle, representing the Government, ’
expressed a willingness to except bail in tbe <
sum of $2,000 for each defendant. They 1
were accordingly committed to await tbe *
action of the Grand Jury. An attempt is ’
being made by their counsel to secure the 1
amount of bail required.
