C7STICE TO THE SAVANNAH POLICE.
It will be observed that General Meade, in
ais dispatch to General Grant, has the can
dor to admit that the negro demonstration at
the polls on Tuesday was suppressed by the
police, while in Augusta the military were
brought in requisition. In Savannah the
municipal government is in. the .hands of
a Democratic Mayor and Board of Aldermen,
with a well disciplined and effective police
force, of good and true men, selected for
their fitness, courage and reliability as guar
dians of the public peace, while the Mayor
of Augusta is a Radical minion forced upon
the people by military authority, and re
tained in the position which he disgraces for
his subserviency to the Radical party. The
municipal and county officers of Augusta, as
well as its police, are the servile creatures of
the same corrupt and unprincipled faction.
While the people of Augusta may be thank-.
■ for the presence, on Tuesday last, of a
force of disciplined and orderly white troops,
under the command-of a prudent and gen
tlemanly officer, our own citizens have an
equal right to congratulate themselves that
we have a city government and police force
upon whose prudence, firmness and fearless
discharge of duty they may rely in any
emergency. _
REAPING HIS REWARD.
The New York Times says: “We are sorry,
though uot surprised, to hear that Mr. Stan
ton, after four or five years* service in the
War Department, retires from office with his
health seriously impaired, his pecuniary re
sources exhausted, and his professional busi
ness broken up, even if his health would per
mit him to attend to it. Few men ever con
nected with our Government in any way have
worked harder or rendered the country more
eminent and distinguished service than Mr.
Stanton; and it is by no means satisfactory
to reflect that this has been done at the sac
rifice of everything that can make the re
mainder of his life comfortable. Nor is there
much consolation to be drawn from the fact
that history will appreciate and record the
extent of that service and the obligation it
Tmn laid upon the country. It would be
much more satisfactory to know that this
°Wrt5i iealtff^senously*unpaired” and “pe
cuniary resources exhausted,” the condition of
the late Secretary of War—he who lorded it
over the South; who insulted and tyranized
over our people; who^stauds accountable in
this world, and who will be held accountable
in the next, for. the life of Jdrs. Surratt, is
indeed deplorable. The Tunes any a “it would
be much more satisfactory to know that the
country will see to it that those who render it
honest and effective sei'vice shall not ruin them
selves and their families by doing so.*’ But
can this sentiment apply to Mr. Stanton?
Surely not! “Honest service” he has not ren
dered the country. There is no honesty m
tyranny; none in oppression. Stanton is
reaping his just reward- The Times may
sympathize with him, but the country, never.

_ Comptroller-General of South Carolina has
instructed Tax Officers to include in their
quarterly assesments all cotton purchased
and sold by merchants, factors, brokers, bank
ers, or other persons buying or shipping on
commission, or otherwise, which was grown
this year, and now exempt from tax by the
United States Government by Act .of Con

the polling on the 20th. Parliament, it is
asserted, will meet on the 10th or 11th of De
cember.
How Peace was Saved.—The Telegraph says
peace was saved in Macon, Tuesday, at the
price of great forbearance on the part of the
whites. Many were grossly insulted, in a
purely gratuitous and uncalled for fashion, by
the Radical negroes. Had the scenes enact-'
jedin ilacon, Tuesday, taken place in any
Northern town or city, Ethiopia would have

rather than have a disturbance or light, the
whites determined to hold no election in
Clinton.
STROM FLORIDA.
A business letter to the Mousing News,
dated Quincy, Florida, 2d inst., says:
“The weather is quite cold- for this season
of the year in Florida. A heavy frost .fell in
this vicinity last night, and at this time, 8
o’clock p. m., it is colder than the morning.
“To-day we witnessed the inauguration of

He then proceeded to answer the
of Gordon and the rest of his enemies,
following pretty much the same line of dis
course as in his speech at Salem, a sketch of
which I sent you. He referred to the card
of J. W. Simonton, denying the statement
made by him at Salem, and said Simonton
had omitted to deny the main point of dhat
speech, to-wit: that he got thrashed m Cali
fornia by his nephew. He reasserted the
truth of the statement, and said that Simon
ton was thrashed by his nephew, Georgo But
ler Alluding to General Kilpatrick, who, he
said, had left the State of New Jersey, where
the contest between the Democracy and Re
publicanism was close, to come down here
and make speeches against him; he stated
that Kilpatrick was paid $2,000 for his week s
work, and it was cheap enough. He had no
objection to his earning his money, but he
had bettor not talk about patriotism while he
was doing it. He disliked to enter a per
sonal controversy with General Kilpatrick,
but if he continued bis attacks upon him he
should be compelled to go a little into ws
personal history. As for General Hawley, he
had also entered the lists against him; he,
too, bad better look after the interests
of bis own State, which was lost last year
through bis notions on finance. He referred
to the declarations made by the Opposition
speakers that even if be (Butter) was elected,
he would have nothing to say in the distflbu
tion of offices in this district. This anxiety
about the “offices,” he said, showed what his
enemies were fighting for. “As to that Mat
ter ” he said, “Gen. Grant will treat me the
same as he will all other Republican repre-
sentatives. Should he not do ho, but should
he single me out for exceptional treatment in
matters pertaining to the interests of my Dis
trict, you all know me well enough to feuow
that he wifi have as much as be can atteud.to
for the rest of his administration.” He in
formed his hearers that his opponents bad
spread abroad a rumor that a letter from Gen.
Grant, opposing his re-election, was in the
hands of a gentleman from his District. It
was to be published just on the eve of the
election, either 0» Saturday or Monday next.
He cautioned them to beware of any such
publication, for it was a forgery." It was not
likely that a man in Gen. Grant's position,
who had kept silence on national issues dur
ing the whole canvass, would now stoop to
intermeddle in the affairs ot this District;
and if any such letter made its appearance,
he would pronounce it in advance a forgery.

style from the grain of the Indian corn, minus
the modern improvement of strychnine and
the like. It was no doubt the custom of the

[From the Charleston Mercury,]
Tile Course of tlie Soutl*.
Fear! fear is the last instrumentality we
have mentioned for our ruling men.
Fear is the only element of union the Rad-
cals North present to the South- We set up
a Federative Republic with them, by the on
ly principles of all free governments—affection
and free will. The man who supports a gov
ernment from fear, it matters not what the
form of government may be, is a political
slave. He is only free, when with a free will,
he offers the homage of affection, to the gov
ernment he erects over him. This was the
nature of the Government of the United
State, when it was instituted. When it lost
the affection and confidence of the South, it
failed, as it ought to have failed, to be com
patible with the broad principles on which it
was built. It is now attempted to reconstruct
the Union of the United States, on another
principle—the principle of fear, the principle
■ inn nr him iliu ane—very ’ 6vuruihGilts 'which
are most inconsistent with their existence ?
The thing is impossible.
But the South, whilst it is attempted to
rule her by fear, inspires fear also. All
wrong doers are more or less cowards. They
are conscious that they justly inspire resent
ment, and therefore fear it The South is
feared. She is feared by the people of the
North. A people who kept at bay for four
years three times their numbers, with the
whole civilized world for their recruiting:
grounds, and the wealth of the world to fili
their treasuries, no men can wrong and not
fear. And they are feared throughout the
South.. The negroes fear them. The Cau
casian race has ever been the enlightening
conquering race amongst'the nations. To
them have been revealed the oracles of God,
and they are at once the teachers, and the
pastors and masters of the world. All the
colored races fear them, from an instinctive
feeling of inferiority. In the East, Japhet
dwells in the tents of Shem. The poor negro
who:has been in .contact with hliH fears
him. In the two grand model negro repub
lics! in Haiti and Liberia, the white man is
prohibited from entering. The late insurrec
tion in Jamaica was for the same purpose, to
drive out the feared white men, although
there are but ten thonsand whites to three
hundred thousand blacks. Here this policy
is hopeless. There are two white men to one
negro in the South, and on the question of
the rale of races, the white race of the South
will constitute but one army. Even in those
States where the negro predominates in num
bers, nothing but the white men who lead
and rule them have induced them to dare an
antagonism. They are told that the twenty-
five millions of the white race in the North
will uphold and enforce their supremacy.
Not from any reliance upon themselves, but
from a reliance on the hostile white Radicals
of the North, do they presume to rale in the
South. Tet they fear. They are full of fears
and doubts. Every collision in the South
between the races proves their fears, and
these fears are justly grounded, deep in the
nature of things, far beyond their-compre
hension.
And the carpet-baggers and scalawags—are
they without their fears ? Their very looks—
their reticence of speech, shew their fears.
Like crows and ravens they croak loud in
flocks; but let them meet the Southern man
by himself—his shyness and wariness shews
his fears. Let him meet a Southern man on
the high-road, and he spurs his horse to
leave behind him his association, with, a
quicker pace to reach his journey’s end. He
knows that he is the dire and gratuitous ene
my'of the white race of the South; he is not
without apprehension, that they know it too:
A day of retribution may come.
With the white race of the South there is
no fear of negro supremacy—and no fear of
these white leaders and associates in their
rale. These they can easily sweep out of
their path. But they are not prepared to
meet the power of the Government of the
United States. Both by the United States
Government, and these. Slate- governments
created over them by the authority of the
United States, they are closed around with
despotisms. Not to fear the daugers and
troubles, their political condition costs over
them, would not be human. Our natural,
sympathies for .those wo lovearotmd us—our
love for our country, cannot but breed deep
anxieties and cares; but in personal fear from'
the political condition of the country,,we be
lieve that there is-less in the South--tiian in
any portion of the United States. Men
result in disintegrating the large plantations
which the development of that extinct system
of labor built up. We now know of many
large plantations in this region made up by
tjje neighboring plantations under the slave
tystyni; these are ready now to be re-
solyed into their pijginaj elements. The
owners will sell half," anq money
make improvements worth for more jo them
than the lauds they sell- And for the pur
chasers of these halves of snch plantations are
vast fortunes in store, if they will but come
and plant and sow and reap them.—MUledge-
