Fellow-Citizens of Chatham!
This day is full of evil or good to us. The
one or the other will inevitably follow our
own action... “Men are at some time masters
of their fate. ” This is that time. IF WE
WILL, we can turn the tide of evil at this
hoar. But it must be by ACTION.
Give one day to your country ! If you
•v, * t j' i ~3S ~
feel that you have no country, give it to your
families. If you have no family give it to
your ■ friends—your neighbors ! Give it to
HUMANITY !—TO JUSTICE AND EIGHT ! !
Let no man say I can do nothing. It is
not true. '‘No man liveth unto himself.”
Every citizen can influence another to do
right. The benighted freedmen are this day
to be led on to their own ruin and to youe
own unless we throw ourselves in between
them and’ their fete.
And we must work. No patriot can fold
his arms and take Inn ease this day. Leave
yourconnting rooms, your offices, yourplaces
of toil everywhere, and all men, and go to
the polls early and vote, and there remairt and
help to guide the ignorant and erring, Many
freedmen will yds- day vote for Geant and
Colfax. who, with a kind word from a white
man, whom they know and confide in, would
rote to preserve the Constitution and our free
dom.
-No citizen has any deeper interest in the
result of the election to-day than any other.
And it is therefore the duly of every man to
work to the extent of his ability to save the
country. The place to work is at the pods!
If we cannot save the whole country, let us
keep our own beloved State free from dis
grace and ruin. We have at least the sem
blance- of freedom left .in Georgia, and we
must not allow her this day to be debauched.
ANOTHER RADICAL FALSEHOOD.
A hand-bill posted about the streets yester
day addressed to the “ colored voters,” sets
forth the following falsehood: “ On the elec
tion to-day depends the validity of the Re
construction Acts, by which you were enfran
chised.’’
This is simply a carpet-bagger’s lie. Every
intelligent colored mnn in Chatham cohnty
knows that the Reconstruction acts did not
. . i
give him the privilege of voting. There is
no such provision in the Reconstruction acts,
nor in. the Fourteenth Amendment of the
United States Constitution, the ratification of
which Was forced upon the States. The Re
construction acts neither gave freedom nor
the right to vote. Emancipation was legal
ized by the act of tho white Constitutional
Legislature of Georgia. Suffrage was illegal
ly- conferred upon the freedman by the Mili-
tary Provisional Government, and has yet to
be legalized by. act of the State. Acquies
cence on the pact of the white people of
Georgia is ;not likely to be induced by the
colored people arraying themselves en masse
on the side'of their enemies, andr using the
ballot in a spirit of hostility to their rights
and interests.
DO NOT LOSE TOUR VOTE.
If a battle were to be fought on Tuesday
to decide the vital issues involved in the elec
tion which takes place on that day, no true
Georgian—no man true to the principles of
the Constitution, true to his race, to his fam
ily and his own honor—would be absent from
the ranks—from the post of duty. The duty
to cast his vpte is no less imperative. It may
be a day of victory—then he should be known
j fjg ^ ^
be the last Opportunity
will ever have of voting for a Constitutional
President. Then he will at least have.left
the consciousness of having performed his
duty.

. Important Decision.—In a suit recently
brought in the Adams County Court, at Nat
chez, Miss., against a man named Surget,
■who was Confederate Provost Marahal in
1862’ for $120,000. tho value of certain cot—
ton destroyed by his order to prevent its
falling-intq the hands of the Union forces,
the jury, 1 after a long deliberation, brought in
a verdict for the defendant. As the question
Involved in this suit is one of the most im
portant growing out of the late war, the
' plaintiffs counsel have given notice of ah. ap
peal tq -.the High Court of Mississippi, and
intend to cany the case to the United States
Supreme Court if necessary.
^A Youpg’Aetist.—We havebeen shown a
book of comic sketches, drawn by Master
Robert Bullock, son of Dr." Bullock, of Sa-
may yet equal Crowquill or Cruikshanks.
We clip - the above paragraph from the
Atlanta' Constitution. The lad alluded to is a
prohusing youth of fourteen years, who, at a_
very early age, manifested- a taste as well as
talent for drawing. With cultivation he will
make an artist of merit.
AN INFAMOUS RADICAL FRAUD.
A prominent white Radical was circulating
in the streets yesterday a placard addressed
to Irish Democrats, purporting to give an
extract from a speech delivered by General
Frank P. IJlair, in St. Louis, in 1856, “in
the Fenian Brotherhood and to the Irish
people.' ’ ...
This infamous slander bears the brand of
falsehood upon its face, and has been de
nounced by Gen. Blair, and by the press of
St. Louis, as a base forgery. In the summer
of 1856, the time at which the speech is said
to have been delivered, the Fenian Order was
not publicly known, if it existed at all in the
United States—certainly no Fenian'proces
sion took place in that year in St. Louis. No
such words were ever uttered by Geii. Blair
as those attributed to him, before a Fenian
procession or any other procession.
Know-Nothingism was’rampant throughout
the North and West in 1856, and Schuyler
Colfax, a Grand High Priest of the Order,
was holding his dark-lantern Lodges, and
concocting schemes of proscription, perse-
cation and disfranchisement of Irishmen and
Catholics. Rising to the sublimity of Radical
impudence, the perpetrators of this vile
forgery against General Blair now have the
audacity to urge Irishmen to vote for Schuy
ler Colfax, the leader of the Know-Noth
ings, for Vice-Presi-dent
shall be granted by that Court By this de
cision thousands of■-naturalized cif
ha Amrimd. of th
to'vote, to-day, on a mere technicality of law,if
not by an illegal decision of a Radical Judge.
This outrage upon adopted citizens is perpe
trated in the interest of a party who have il
legally and wantonly forced universal negro
suffrage upon the South, tin violation-of law
and of thejCgp^jtution of the Stsy|pand of
the United States. Let foreign bom citi
zens bear in mind to-day that the 'Radicals,
who, in outrage of the principles of represen
tative Republican Government, marshall to
the polls the ignorant, half savage negroes
from the rice-fields of the South, none of
whom can read and write, and few of whom 1
know even their.own names orages or, what
government or ballot mean, disfranchise and
rejectee white,free-born naturalized citizen,
because in obedience to his • convictions of
right he voles the Democratic ticket Irish
men were good enough to fight for the Union
and the flag of their adopted, country, but
are unworthy to vote for a - constitutional
President.
The Oath that Colfax has Taken.
Mr. Colfax has denied that he was ever a
Know Nothing. We now charge that he was
a member of that proscriptive order, and that
as such he has taken upon himself the follow
ing oath:
L Schuyler Colfax, of South Bend, in the
State of Indiana, a native bom citizen of the
United States, and of Protestant faith, in the
presence of Almighty God, and these wit
nesses, do solemnly promise and swear that I
will not vote, nor give my influence for any
man, for any office in the gift of the people,
unless he be an American born citizen, in
favor of Americans ruling America, nor if he
be a Roman Catholic. In the presence of
Almighty God and these witnesses, I do sol
emnly swear that I will when elected or ap
pointed to any official station conferring on
me the power to do so, remove all foreigners,
aliens, or Roman Catholics from office or
place, and that I will in no case appoint such
to any office or place in my gift
Not only was Colfax a Know Nothing but a
leading one, and as such took a leading part
in the celebrated Philadelphia Know Nothing
National Convention. We are not advised as
to whether Gen. Grant is a Know Nothing—
that is, we mean, in the party sense of the
term—but citizens who are of foreign birth or
the Catholic faith can be at no loss to under
stand what they have to expect from Schuyler
Colfax. Can any foreigner, can any Catholic,
give his snpport to snch a candidate and snch
a party?—Louisville Courier.
GIVE ONE DAY TO YOUR COUNTRY.
We observe that in other cities of the
State the citizens are preparing to close then-
places of business on Tuesday and devote
the entire day to the election. The Execu
tive Committee of Chatham have adopted
a resolution requesting our merchants to close
their stores and offices on that day in order
that their employees may devote the day to
the interests of the State and country. We
sincerely hope that this suggestion will be
unanimously adopted, and that ; the people of
Savannah and Chatham county will prove by
their exertions in behalf of Democratic prin
ciples and Constitutional government on that
day that they are in cordial sympathy with
the Democracy of the State, who in every
city, 'town and county, with an earnestness
and zeal unprecedented in the history of bur
State, are exerting themselves in the employ
ment of every proper means in their power to
swell the majority for Seymour and Blair.
-:-aa young democrats,
Many of you will to-day cast your first vote
for President. The future of the country is
peculiarly yours. All your hopes are staked
upon the issues of this day. Each of you
can influence one or more votes. You should
feel yourselves responsible for every vote that
yon can control. Let no one be content with
casting his single vote. Work ! Work one
whole day for your country.

A Revolutionary Document from Cuba.
New York, October 29.—The steamer Ea
gle, from Havana, brings a copy of a procla
mation issued by the republican revolution
ary committee. It breathes the most intense
revolutionary spirit. The document recites
acts of despotism of the government of Queen
Isabella, and concludes with a strong appeal
to Cubans to pronounce for’ a federal repub
lic. “We pronounce for liberty, equality,
fraternity—Cubans and Spaniards. We de
mand popular suffrage without coercion—a
dissolution of the permanent army—estab
lishment of- a national militia—justice far all
classes—municipal; indg>&dence—lfl^tj’ of.,
the press—liberty "of discussion—freedom of
commerce—freedom of industry—freedom to
emigrate, and abolition of the monopoly of
slavery. Let ns defend our liberty with dig
nity and respect all opinions; let us embrace
the" opportunity to secure the freedom of Cu
ba. We greet the victors of Spain. Viva
Spanish liberty—viva liberty of Cuba—viva
a federal republic.”
{
Pevved Churches Denounced.—In the Epis
copal General Convention, on Wednesday,
Mr. Walsh said: ■ -.u
“I understand the Oriental Church is look
ing at some things in this Church with great
distrust. It is allowing an auctioneer to come
into the house of God and sell the pews year
by year. They look upon that with horror.
I should not care if an earthquake were to
come and knock all these ehurenes down that
are only private chapels.” s _ . ;
The next day the Committee on Canons re
ported an amended canon making it unlaw
ful to hold public sale of pews in any conse
crated church or chapel. This, in the form
of a resolution condemning snch sales, was,
after some debate, adopted. ’
The Radical City Councils of Phtladel-
phla Attempt to take away the Patronage
of the Mayor.—Philadelphia, October 29.—
The present City Councils, being opposite in
politics to the Mayor elect, to-day passed a
bill through one branch, taking from the
Mayor a portion of his official patronage, viz:
the appointment of operators, &c., on the
city telegraph. A bill will be introduced
next week asking the Legislature to take the
whole control of the police force from the
Mayor and vest it in the Commissioners. As
the Legislature will be Republican the bill
will probably pass.
Within four hours’ ride of Montreal by rail
there is a colony of from 20,000 to 25,000
Highlanders. The county of Glengarry, on
the eastern frontier of Upper Canada, is full
of them. In the back settlements they retain
their ancient language, sing-the Gaelic songs
and have their Gaelic preaching. About half
of them are Catholic and him Protestant.
The Glengarry men are renowed for their size
and strength. It is said that the townships of
Kenyon and Lochiel alone could turn out a
thousand Highlanders—not a man of them
under six feet in his stockings.
