Savannah, August 14, 187(1.
The Campaign in Florida.
Our special telegram from Jacksonville,
Florida, giving the result of the
Radical Convention of the Second Con
gressional District possesses considerable
interest as bearing upon the gubernato
rial campaign. Conover, we should judge,
is practically out of the race, and for
that matter, practically out of poli
tics. His goose has boen cooked.
He has been betrayed in the house of his
friends. He has been completely sold
out by his coadjutors. He went in after
wool and got fleeced himself. Walls, the
majestic colored politician, who clung to
Conover at the Madison Convention, and
who was there most grossly insulted and
humiliated by the Stearnsites,was the first
to bend the knee to Marcellus. His ex
ample was followed by that lively rascal
Purman, and then there was a general
stampede from the too-trusting Simon to
the gently-wooing Soap-Fat man. It may
be that Conover w ill endeavor to avenge
himself by still remaining in the field,
but this is unlikely. Politicians of his
stamp are of too plastic a nature
either to stand up for what they
conceive to be principle, if they ever have
such a conception—or to inspire confi
deuce : and it is more than probable that
an instinctive knowledge that he would
not do to tie to, led his friends to desert
him at this juncture. This turn in Con
over’s affairs will not affect the success of
Drew and Hull. With a continuation of
the energy and enthusiasm which has
thus far characterized the canvass of the
\Democrats the election of those gentle
men is assured.
The real work of the convention was
accomplished by the nomination of Ho
ratio Bisbee, a most enthusiastic waver
of the bloody-shirt. The record of
Horatio does not materially differ from
that of the other carpet-baggers and scal
awags of Florida, and we, therefore, have
strong hopes that he will be defeated in
his Congressional aspirations by General
Finley.
Of all the frauds that carpet-bag recon
struction ever produced “ Majah” Pur
man is the biggest and most unblushing.
Only a little while ago he stood up on the
floor of Congress and denounced Marcel-
Irti Stearns, the Governor, as a thief and
a swindler, and to-day Purman, after
selling out Conover, is supporting Stearns
for re-election. We are not at all sur
prised that he should support Stearns,
but we are surprised that he should de
nounce the Soap-Fat man for carpet-bag
accomplishments that really constitute a
bond of sympathy between the two
worthies. We are under the impression
that Purman’s career in Congress will
close with the present term. He has
heretofore manipulated the colored vote
to suit his own convenience, but it is
probable the negroes will teach him a
lesson the present campaign.
• '
From Fernandina and St. Augustine,
Fla., we hare frequent complaints of the
failure of the Mousing News to reach
subscribers. The fault is either
with the route agents or with
the postmasters. Our mailing de
partment is so organized that any delay
or omission is almost impossible. If sub
scribers who fail to receive their papers
will take the trouble to locate the cause
of the delay, we will take the trouble to
hare it corrected.
John Wallace, of Tallahassee, Jr la., a
very intelligent colored man, is running
against “Majah” Purman for Congress on
an independent Republican ticket. In
everything that goes to make a gentle
man—honesty, self-respect and intelli
gence—Wallace is much the superior of
Purman. It is likely that he will receive
a large part of the colored vote.
Fires are raging in the woods near
Fairfield, N. B. It is estimated that
2,000 acres of land have been burned
over. Fires have been also burning near
Tuaco, N. B., since the Oth inst. Con*
aiderable railway property is being de-
-oycd.
The KwJica) I’oitsiilrnry
As will be seen from our telegrams,
Grant has lost no time since the adjourn
ment of Congress to set on foot a move
ment whereby he hopes to control, in his
own corrupt interests and those of his
party, the electoral votes of those Southern
States where the Radical minority is at all
powerful enough to afford him even the
shadow of an excuse for employing the
bayonet. Through the Secretary of War,
he has ordered Gen. Sherman—(whose
testimony before the House Military Com
mittee recently amounted to a confession
that he was a mere tool)—to hold all
available troops not necessary to engage
in subduing the Sioux savages in
readiness to be used upon a
call or requisition of the “proper
authorities ” — meaning, of course,
the Radical leaders of Mississippi, Arkan
sas, Louisiana, South Carolina and Flori
da—“for the protection of all citizens,
without regard to race, color or political
opinion, in the exercise of the right to
vote,” and so forth and so on. The for
mality and the phrasing of this order is a
mockery. It says, in effect, and it is so
understood by those who are to execute it;
“In certain Southern States the ensuing
elections ought to result in Radical victo.
ries, and it is highly important that the}*
should so result. Indeed, you must see
to it that the Democrats are beaten.”
To the carpet-bag corruptionists it says:
“Troops are at your disposal. See that
there is some pretext—even the slightest
—for their presence. Precipitate in one
way or another a conflict between the
races. The banner of the bloody shirt
will lead us to victory.”
If such is not the meaning of this ex
traordinary* order—if it is not intended to
inform the Radical leaders that calls for
troops may be made with a certainty that
hereafter they will not be refused—why
was it issued ? The condition of affairs
in the South does not make such an or
der necessary. There are no
symptoms of race conflicts in any
of the Southern States. There are
no evidences that there is to be any in
timidation of voters on account of race or
color. On the contrary, the recent elec
tion in Alabama has demonstrated in the
most emphatic manner that, so far from
there being any troubles amoug the
whites and negroes, the latter have been
educated by sore experience—the experi
ence of helpless victims—to the knowl
edge that as between Democrat and Radi
cal, as between Southerner and carpet
bagger, the former is by far their truest
friend, and they signalized the attainment
of this knowledge by aiding the Demo
crats to pile up a majority of forty thou
sand votes against those corruptionists
who have, with impartial hand, plundered
Southern whites and Southern negrots.
Where, then, is the necessity for Grant’s
order ?
Some time prior to the appearance of
Boutwell’s Mississippi report, we ventured
to point out, briefly, but distinctly, the
evidences which led us to believe that the
Radical leaders in Washington were en
gaged in a gigantic conspiracy, having
for its ultimate object the perpetuation
of the rule of the corrupt and unscrupu
lous party which now holds the reins of
overnment. The report of the Bout-
well committee, with the outrageous
propositions embodied in the resolutions
accompanying it, gave to our conclusions
a most startling justification. Our read
ers are informed as to the nature of the
resolutions alluded to. They contem
plate the blottiDg out of such Southern
States as perversely choose to commit
the administration of their affairs to the
hands of honest fiien, and there inaugura
tion of that anarchy, and confusion,
and corruption, and knavery with
which we of the South—Heaven
help us !—have been made so familiar by
the torturous and tyrannical processes of
Radical reconstruction, so-called. It is
an omen of the times—a verification of
our suspicions of a conspiracy—a
threatening feature of the recklessness
that characterizes the upholders of
Grant’s administration—when political
audacity grows so unscrupulously bold
as to face the American Senate, and
calmly propose to disestablish and
destroy a sovereign State of the Union.
Following hard upon Boutwell’s report
comes the order of Grant to Sherman,
whereby the rule of the bayonet is to be
set up whenever and wherever the ad
ministration men in the South may find
it necessary to their success. The pro-
grame is before us. Its purport is not to
be misunderstood. Conflicts are to be pre
cipitated in the Southern States—troops
are to. play their accustomed part—Demo
cratic majorities are to be rendered pow
erless. In the event of a national Demo
cratic victory, enough of thJ^ electoral
votes of the South are to be counted out
to render the election doubtful, Congress
will be dispersed by Grant, and, in the
confusion and clamor following such a
result, our would-be Ctusar will take the
reins of government, and, under pretence
of compelling peace, become Dictator in
deed. Is there any reason to believe that
the American people would not tamely
submit ?
The Georgia Radicals.
Our special telegram from Macon gives
the result of the Radical Convention
that assembled in that city yesterday.
It was rather a slim affair, we should
judge, but those who were present car
ried out the programme. There was
some opposition to making a
nomination for Governor, but the
majority, despairing of finding
any Democrat, so-called, williug
to subscribe to his own political disgrace
by becoming an independent candidate,
wisely enough concluded to nominate one
of their own number, and the choice fell
upon Jonathan Norcross, of Atlanta. We
do not know Norcross, but we take him
to be a harmless old man who possesses a
good deal more money than brains, and
who has probably never contempla
ted the contingency of becoming a can
didate for any office under the sun.
It seems a pity to sacrifice a man whose
bucolic instincts have been intensified by
age and mellowed by long experience,
but no doubt all pity would be thrown
away on uncle Jonathan. His nomina
tion was not as heaity and as unanimous
as it might have beeD, though he will
probably make no complaint on that
score.
During the proceedings of the conven
tion it became apparent that there is no
unanimity among the Radicals in their
opposition to a Constitutional Convention
—a fact that will doubtless serve to
lessen the squeamishness of those who
seem to be of the opinion that a vote on
that question would seriously divide the
Democratic party. Altogether, the Radi
cals did well in nominating Norcross.
Old and tough as he is, he will make as
good a target as any on9 else. On with
the dance!
We call the attention of the Atlanta
Constitution to the letter of Hon. W. W.
Paine, of this city, to the editor of the
Baltimore Gazette, which we publish
elsewhere. Mr. Paine’s letter explains
itself.
tiranitsfii In LoiHslAit
A Washington telegram gives a sum
mary of the report of the majoiiiy of the
committee appointed to investigate the
custom house frauds in Louisiana. It is
a strong document, evidencing the large
amount of work done by Mr. Gibson and
his committee, and its disclosures and
findings are, in some respects, the most
startling and most severe, respectively,of
any of the disclosures and reports thereon
of this winter of investigations. After
rehearsing the authority and object of the
committee, the fact that the hearing was
public, all the implicated officials ably
represented, and that some witnesses
whom the committee wanted to examine
could Dot be found, the report says : “At
the very outset the committee was con
fronted with evidence of an effort on the
part of James F. Casey, Collector of
the Port of New Orleans, to obstruct the
investigation.”
This point is sustained by ample proof.
The report then rehearses the evidence
of irregularities and frauds in the im
portation of dutiable goods, and notes
tLe fact that the first witness examined
by the committee before leaving Wash
ington, and who came on voluntarily to
exposo the frauds to the Secretary of the
Treasury, could not be found after ^he
committee reached New Orleans, wbitber
the witness promised to go and testify.
From uncontradicted evidence the report
says that it appears that large sums were
taken from the revenues for partisan
purposes. The funds were abstracted
by means of false vouchers which were
forwarded to the Secretary of the
Treasury. This was not an occasiona
thing, but an established system, aJ
which at least one high official outside of
the custom house, T. J. Kinsella, Special
Agent of the Treasury Department at
New Orleans, connived at, if he did not
participate in. The committee say they
are unable to tell the exact amount of
money thus obtained from the public
treasury, but are firmly convinced “that
all or nearly the entire sum represented
by the vouchers referred to was abso
lutely stolen.”
Casey was notified of the committee
sessions, but excused himself on the
ground of illness. “Another glaring
fraud,” says the report, “was perpetrated
through the Department of Repairs and
Preservation of Public Buildings.” One
witness is cited who received
$5,000 for a contract he testified
he never fulfilled or pretended to, and
he testified that “he returned the whole
amount to J. H. Sypher, at whose per
sonal request he had signed the contract.”
A letter from Supervising Architect Pot
ter is attached, stating that “this contract
is attached to a voucher receipted by E.
A. Davis (the contractor) for the 3uin of
$5,000, transmitted with account of Jas.
F. Casey, disbursing agent, New Orleans.’*
Farther on the report says : “Your com
mittee are of the opinion that govern
ment should without delay institute suits
against the Collector, James F. Casey, to
recover such sums of money as have been
by him and those in his employment mis
applied and appropriated to unlawful pur
poses as shown by evidence. Your com
mittee cannot believe that the President
will permit Mr. Casey to continue in office
as Collector of Customs at New Orleans
after he shall have become acquainted
with the testimony taken before your
committee.”
Marshal Packard’s department is then
taken up and his business with the courts
praised. He is condemned, however, for
violating the statute in regard to the ap
pointment of deputy marshals who did
political work while drawing government
pay. Instances are given where marshals
were thus appointed just prior to elec
tions, the resignation of whose commis
sions immediately after the elections was
requested by Packard over his own signa
ture. Evidence is also adduced to show
that Packard indulged in the practice of
shaving witnesses’ fees ten per cent. The
committee condemn these transactions se
verely, and cordially unite with the At
torney General in recommending the
passage of a law to forbid and punish
such practices.
The report of Messrs. Vance and Black
burn, as a sub-committee on the Cou-
shatta massacre, is also submitted as a
part of the majority report. They re
hearse abundant evidence, showing that
the shooting of Messrs. Twitchell and
King was the work of a disguised mur
derer, a stranger in the neighborhood,
who waited for his victims at the ferry
and shot them as they crossed the river.
The evidence also showed that Twitchell
had prodigally wasted the public money
in Red river parish, and had been guilty
of so unbearable an administration of
public affairs that he was condemned
alike by all parties, and an organization
had been formed composed of Republi
cans and Democrats, white and black,
for the purpose of rescuing the parish
from its deplorable condition. The com
mittee are unable to identify the assassin,
and are of the opinion that politics had
nothing to do with the affair.

Macon, August 16, 1876.
BBYANT LEADS OFF.
The Radicals met at noon at the Isaacs
House hall. Bryant called the body to order
and nominated Jesse A. Glenn, of Dalton
as Chairman. The delegates are mostly
negroes. Only a few spectators are present
and about twenty delegates. Bryant, Prince
and Conley run the meeting.
A SMALL SHOWING FOB THE COLOBED FOLKS.
Some little wrangling occurred during the
morning session. Rev. C. O. Fisher, J. E.
Bryant and W. W. Brown represented the
First District. Bryant reported Dawson A.
Walker and E. C. Wade as Electors at large,
and Jesse A. Glenn and liev. C. O. Fisher
alternates. For the First District, John T.
Collins and J. II. Perry. For the Second.
C. W. Arnold and John D. Dudley. For the
Eighth, V. M. Barnes and Jack Heard.
There are only four negroes on the eutire
ticket.
STOCKING THE GAME.
Conley reported favorable to making a
nomination for Governor. Pledger, Harrison
and Jeft Long, negroes, opposed a nomina
tion. Conley cvried the convention and
nominated Jonathan Norcross, of. Atlanta.
Pledger named Atkins and Long proposed
Akerman. The Chairman declared Norcross
nominated by acclamation and unanimously,
although the vote was three yeas and oue
uay.
THE PLATFOBM.
The committse reported a platform en
dorsing Hayes aud Wheeler, the national
Republican party aud platform, and a State
platform favoring free non-sectarian schools
aud taxing for their support; expressing
deep abhorrence of lawlessness wherover
existing; opposing a Constitutional Con
vention, and presenting with pride the
names of Norcross aud Walker.
LIVELY DISCUSSION OF THE CONVENTION QUES
TION.
Z. B. Hargrove threw a hot shot into the
camp by opposing the auti-conveutiou
plank and declaring in favor of a conven
tion. Wise Parker sustained him in a
speech. Both wero wilhng to trust the
Democrats to make a uew constitutiou.
Bryant said no; that there was danger in
allowing the matter thus to be decided
upon. Hargrove replied, aud
SKINNED HIM ALIVE,
but Conley and Bryaut carried the day, the
vote being by districts—sixteen for, riue
against.
A FIZZLE.
The uo-convention plank of the platform
was a fizzle, and the torchlight procession
and ratification meeting to-uight were even
a greater failure.

The South Carolina Democrats.
The South Carolina Democrats yester-
da} T nominated General Wade Hampton
for Governor, and then supplemented the
praiseworthy act by a rousing Tilden and
Hendricks ratification meeting. The
Democrats of South Carolina have made
so many untimely and injurious com
promises with the corrupt and ignorant
faction by which that unfortunate State
is ruled, that wo hail their
action with surprise as well as delight.
General Hampton is in every respect
worthy to represent a people whose for
titude in all the bitter trials of recon
struction has been no less conspicuous
than their gallantry. If the proper en
ergy and enthusiasm are manifested, the
Democrats may win a victory at the
polls: but if they do not, they will at least
have the satisfaction of knowing that
their support has been given to a gentle
man as pure, as brave and as noble as
any knight of the olden time. Defeat,
as the good people of South Carolina
have learned by dear experience, is some
times less disastrous than victory.

THE EASTERN WAR.
London, August 16.—A dispatch to the
Timex from Belgrade says, while war prepa
rations continue actively, and while even the
peace party consider any fate preferable to
a deposition of Prince Milan and the an
nexation of any part of Servia to Turkey or
eveu a period of Turkish rule here, at the
same timG a depression of spirits and a de-
t-ire foi peace amoug the moderate party,and
the Servian people generally, make the in
tervention of the powers to be anxiously
looked for, iu the hope that it would briug
peace without any of the above conditions,
which it is feared the Turks desire to im
pose, rather than*accept any of those that
the moderate party will support. The gov
ernment is to continue the struggle
until Servia conquers or cannot fight
any longer. They say the deposition
ot Prince Milan would occasion a dyuastic
civil war, which would retard the progress
of the country twenty years. As for Turk
ish rule here, the foremost men of Servia,
aud even the opponents of tho war, say it is
better that ?’! the Servians perish in this
struggle tnau submit to that. If the inter
vention of the powers does not bring peace,
then no agreements between the belliger
ents themselves is likely to be made.
MEXICAN NEWS.
Havana, August 16.—The steamer City of
Mexico, from Mexico, brings advices from
the City of Mexico to August 5. The po
litical situation remains unchanged. No
important events have taken place since the
sailing of the British steamer on the 2d
inst. The government organs predict the
near termination of the rebellion. The
revolutionists continue powerless and are
divided into small factions, this being their
point of strength, thereby harrassmg the
government troops and keeping up the
alarm.
Business is paralyzod throughout the
country. Exchange on New York is twenty-

The Florida Radicals have allowed their
propensity for lying to get them into
trouble thus earl} in the campaign. Den
nis EagaD, the Commissioner of Immi
gration, issued a circular some time ago,
in which he invited immigrants from
every section of the Union, assuring them
that they would be well received and hos
pitably treated. The Radical State
Committee, however, in their recently
published address, denied all this, and
alleged that new-comers would not be re
ceived with courtesy by the landowners
of the State. This statement has al
ready deterred a colony of Iowa immi
grants from going to Florida, and its
effect will be to deter thousands of oth
ers. Truly, the Florida carpet-bagger is
a curse to the country.
Mr. Gorham, the Secretary of the Sen
ate, has lifted R. G. Blaine, who is a
brother of Jim G., out of a soft clerkship.
It seems that Gorham was for Conkling
fox|Pre8ideiit and Blaine’s bub wasn’t.
The condition of Mr. Kerr seems to be
beyond hope. His mind retains its old-
time vigor, and he is fully resigned to
his approaching end. Serene in his own

son telegraphs from Rockbridge Alum
Springs this evening as follows; “Father’s
condition is unchanged since yesterday.
Our hope is weakening. All of it is iu the

give him instant relief. Otherwise my
lather’s time is short. He is wonderfully
calm and resigned, speaking ouly of his
death in its eilects upon those he loves.”

SPEAKER KEItll S CASE HOPELESS.
Rockbridge, Alum Springs, Va., August
16.—Speaker Kerr’s condition to-night gives
scarcely a rational hope of his being able to
bold out much longer. He grows weaker
hourly. His mind retains its clearness and
vigor, and he converses freely about his
condition, and recognizes fully the near ap
proach of death. He is calm aud resigned,
and though suflering terribly endures it
with patience aud wonderful fortitude. He
lias received telegrams all through the
day and has dictated his own replies. His
private secretary, Mr. White, is with him
and his wire and sou are constantly at his
bedside. Dr. Pope, of Washington, has
been sent for and is hourly expected. On
his power to furnish immediate relief, as he
did recently in Washington, rests the only
liopo of his family, though Dr. Davis, of the
University of Virginia, his present physi
cian, pronounces his case hopeless.
Hampton’s nomination*.
Columbia, S. C., August 16.—The nomi
nation of Hamptou for Governor was receiv
ed with immense enthusiasm. His speech

nations will be made to-morrow. Chancel
lor Johnson, of Marion, is promiuentlv
spoken of for Lieutenant Governor.
The Tilden and Hendricks ratification
meeting to-night was a grand success. The

seen in this State.
The State canvass is regarded bv the

election of Tilden aud Hendricks.

Letter from Hon. IV. >V. Paine.
Savannah, Ga., August 9, 1876.
To the Editor of the Baltimore Gazette :
My attention has just been called by
friend to a special dispatch to the Gazette,
dated Washington, August 4, and headed
Sailing Under False Colors.” This at
tack on me is certainly uncalled for. and
among those who do not know me it is
ca’culated to injure me. If I was as well
known to all the readers of the Gazette
as I am to the people of the First Con
gressional District of Georgia, I would
not notice the telegram, but iu jus
tice to myself among strangers 1 will
state the facts, which I hope
you will publish. I was elected
in 1871 to the Forty-first Congress. I
was nominated without solicitation on my
part by my friends iu the Democratic
Convention of delegates from tho coun
ties composing the then First District of
Georgia; was elected by a large majority
as a Democrat, and never heard my loyalty
to the Democratic party questioned until
I saw the telegram in your paper, and I
think it will be an item of news to my
friends, as it was to myself this morning.
I did not know personally a single mem
ber of the Forty-first Congress, and
wishing to be of some service to the
people I was to represent, I
procured letters of introduction to the
leading members of both parties. Gov
ernor Bullock gave me the letU r to
Speaker Blaine which you published, and
which I presented after consulting my
Democratic colleagues, and allow me to
say that tho Speaker treated me with
precisely such kindness and considera
tion as an impartial presiding officer with
the proper promptings of the heart of a
gentleman would extend to a stranger to
the rules of the House, eveu though on
the opposite side, and no more.
I opposed secession, but when the
State of Georgia decided by a majority of
voters to secede, I acquiesced aud j lined
the Confederate army amoug the first
and remained in the field with the very
last. I opposed the amendment to the
Constitution of the United States and all
the acts of reconstruction with all my in
fluence and power, but when they becaAe
the laws of the land I reluctantly acqui
esced, and so did every man in Georgia
with a few exceptions. If, however,
it be disloyal to the Democratic
party to treat my political opponents
with courtesy and respect and “to do
unto others as I would have them do unto
me,” I fear that I would be convicted.
But as I do not think such a course an
act of treason to the Democratic party I
shall continue to do so, even should I be
the subject of censure from your cor
respondent, who has made another mis
take wheu he says I am a candidate for
re-election. I am not a candidate for any
office, but expect to do my duty for
Tilden and Hendricks. Hoping that you
will do me justice by publishing this my
reply to the attack on me in your very
able and influential paper, I am, very
respectfully, &c. W. W. Paine.

The agent of the Fall River cotton
manufacturers, who was sent to South
America several months ago to open a
market for American fabrics, sends home
most encouraging reports of the success
of his negotiations, and is sanguine that
a large trade can be established. The
aggregate exports of cotton goods for
1874 from the United States to the six
principal States in South America were
only $2,204,000, while Great Britain ship
ped them nearly $89,000,000, and France
within a fraction of $3,000,000.
