J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR.
SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1879.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
8andersville Herald: “We are pained to
have to record an instance of lawlessness
that occurred In this county on Wednesday
nteht of last week. A party of men in dis
guise came to the house of Sol. Brady, a
colored tenant on the place of Mr. Turner
Houghton some five miles below Rtddle-
ville, on the Tarver’s road, broke open the
door, end then, carrying Solomon with
them, went to the hou'« of Mr. Roughton,
and told him to come on with them. We learn
from Mr. Ronghton that this was about
midnight; that he was called from bed, and
was not allowed time to dress. He was
ordered to march on In advance of them,
three or four men, armed with pistols^
marching by his side, while others
guarded the negro. They forced him
and the negro into the woods, and. coming
to a log, bound the negro over it and bared
bis bod}- for the lash. They accused Sol of
stealing sheep and hogs, and said be should
leave the neighborhood, and berated Mr. R.
for allowing him to remain on his place, and
making some threats if he suffered him to
remain. They gave Sol about one hundred
lashes with what Mr. R. supposes was a
stirrup leather, and then ordered Mr. Rough
ton to get some switches, remarking that
they had raLed blisters with the 6trap and
would open them with switches. They then
ordered Mr. Roughton to go, telling him
when he got back to the path to strike
a trot, which he says he did, and was
fired at to quicken bis pace three or four
times. The covering was removed fromSol’s
head, and be was told to strike a run
as soon as it was removed, which order was
obeyed, while the party scampered oil rap
idly in the opposite direction. Mr. Rough-
ton says there were some twelve or fifteen
in the party, and that he does not know who
any of them were—could not recognize
their voices or identify them through their
disguises. On Thursday night there were
several guns fired near Mr. R ’a bouse by
unknown parties, but no other violence
committed. We are glad to be able to statu
that this act of lawless violence has called
forth a general expression of reprobation
from the good citizens of Washington.”
Macon Tdryrapft; “Yesterday the up night
passenger train from Savannah did not
reach the city until afreu ten o’clock. The
delay was occasioned by a slight run off
which occurred at No. 13, where a mis
placed switch caused the engine and several
cars of the third down through freight train
to run oil the track. The cab of the freight
train was considerably shaken up, aud the
platforms and bumpers broken. The run
off delayed trains both ways a number of
hours. Last evening schedules were re
sumed, and everything was again working
along smoothly.”
The Sparta JshmadiU warns the farmers to
“ be not deceived,” and says : “ I • is diffi
cult, perhaps impossible, to understand the
sudden upward tendency of cotton. Whethet
caused by a supposed shortness of the crop
in this country, or other cotton growing
countries, or by the triumph of the ‘bulls’
over the * bears,’ or by speculators iu the
interest of the planting of a large crop next
year, wha»ever may be the cau?e, the wise
farmer will not act as if lie thought the
present prices would hold. Be not deceived.
High priced cotton is an unmiXed good to
th** farmer who raises his own provisions,
and low priced cotton Is not altogether au
unmixed evil to the planter who keeps his
smoke bouse aud granary at home. Such a
man is prepared for any emergency. Pro
visions will be higher, relatively, next yiar
than cotton is now,. Let us live at home by-
raising our own provisions and sustaining
borne enterprises. Georgia will be the gar
den spot of th** world if our people should
only show themselves worthy of its match
less capabilities.”
DeKalb Sars: “A company is being or
ganized in Atlanta for the purpose of buying
btone Mountaiu aud quarrying with im
proved machinery- The oid company has
failed and some of its members will belong
to the ‘New Stone Mountaiu Grauite Com
pany.’ We are glad to bear of this move
ment and hope it will succeed. Stone
Mountain is one of the most valuable piece
of property in the State and should be util
ized iu some way.”
A Poet’s Dream Realized.
Wilmington Star.
Edison’s wonderful invention, the pho
nograph, was at least thought of us
among the possibilities by a remarkably
gifted English womau. before he. had
thought of it. as will be seen from a para
graph we will copy-. Miss Frances liid-
ley Uavergal died recently. She was a
true poet, and we have for years re
gar*led her sacred verse as the best we
have heard iu a long time, lake it all in
all. Years ago she wrote to a friend:
“Yes, I should like to give you an
abundant musical payment, if only 11
dream of mine could be carried out!
dreamt (really) that some one bad inveu -
ed a phonoduct (N. B.—I dreamt the wotd
—should not have mixed languages if
awake!), by which music could be ‘laid
on,’ like gas or water, and at any dis
tance Fancy having it laid on from
Exeter Hall, with a little ‘oratorio taj ‘
in one’s drawing room, so as to hear the
‘Elijah’all alone in the twilight. Cii
you imagine anything uicer? When the
phonoduct becomes general, I shall he
glad to be your Beethoven aud Handel
reservoir. Yoti could ‘turn it oa’ any
evening in the twilight, for I generally
then practice or extemporize for about
half an hour—at least 1 have done
since I have been home.”
It will be seen that she even gave it ti
name in her dream, and very like that
strangely adopted by Edison. She called
the instrument that was to be a “phono
duct;” Edison cailed the instillment that
is a “phonograph.”
A Mesmerist’s Joke.—Several well
known citizens were talking together
-esterday in the billiard room of the
Juited Stales Hotel, when Carpenter, the
mesmerist, came iu to see if the bill pos
ter had lelt any of his programmes. Two
or three gentlemen began to poke fun at.
the professor, and intimated that there
was some trickery in his performance.
Finally the mesmeric operator got upon
his dignity, aud offered to give a free
exhibition, then and there, of his skill.
He said he would so. place oue of the
party,when under his influence,that when
he (Carpenter) had caused the subject to
grasp his owu nose, he could not leave
the room without taking his fingers from
his nose. The wager was accepted, and
one of the party, a gentleman from Wind
sor. gave himself up to the influence of
the mesmerist, who placed him by’ the
side of an iron post or pillar, told him
to close his eyes, and make a few passes
over his face. He then look the gentle
man’s arm, brought it around the post,
and put his nose between his Augers. _A
few more passes, aud Carpenter said,
“Now, sir, you cannot leave the room
without taking your fingers off your
nose. ” The victim opened liis eyes and
at once saw the point, not of hi$ nose
but cf the joke—for he was obliged to
let go the hold of his nasal appendage
in order to let go his embrace of the iron

Denver, Col., November 21.—Loa Pinos
dispatches report that Thursday was devoted
to the taking of the testimony of Wass and
Yanco, two runners sent by Ouray to the
White River Utes prior to the massacre.
They gave their state ment without reserva
tion, and Ouray states that renewed confi
dence on the part of those who have
already testified will permit them
make a clean breast of everything.
The hostiles met the commission
with telliug a consistent lie throughout, but
Adams’ coup d’ etat brought them to a
realizing sense of their position, and they
are now pleading for peace. They are
thoroughly frightened, and fears of a winter
campa gu have exacted from them a promise
to houestty test if v and abide the conse
quences. Tney say “one big fight and Indians
ammunition all gone. No food; we starve.”
They begin to understand tbe utter futili
ty of further resistance, and now not only
express willingness to submit to peaceful
arbitrament, but desire tbe commission to
continue to a final settlement. After
tbe formal adjournment of the com
mission Ouray made a speech, which for
depth of feeling, power of eloquence and
d*-ep reasoning went far beyond any
of his previous efforts. His words surprised
and gladdened the sorely tried and dis
heartened commissioners. A Hood of light
was cast upon his previous efforts, alJ seem
ing inconsistencies were made clear, and
Ouray now stands before tbe world aa the
white man’s friend.

A SAN FRANCISCO SENSATION.
Ia General Graftt Becoming Insane?
Sun Francisco Sevu-Letter.
Rumors are afloat that General Grant
9liows signs of a malady that is heredi
tary in his family, it is said that his
father, Jesse Grant, was afflicted with
softening of the brain before he was fifty
years of age, and that during the last
years of his life he was litle more than
an imbecile.
Orvil Grant, whose eccentric conduct
in California only last year will be re
mcinbercd, has since been an inmate in
the New’ Jersey Insane Asylum. It is
also said that one of the General’s sisters
has been afflicted the same way.
Many people who have met General
Grant since his arrival in San Francisco
have noticed an occasional wild, strange
look in his eye. Often when conversing
with gentlemen, and even with old
friends, he has stopped short in the
middle of a sentence and hesitated,
sometimes for a full moment, before
completing it.
At San Jose he was introduced to a
number of soldi^^wrho fought with him
at Fort Donelson. Instead of greeting
them cordially, he turned half round and
siinpl3’ stared at them over his shoulder,
and never said a word.
Again, at Stockton and at Madeira he
was presented to a number of his old
comrades in the Mexican war, but the
General treated them in the coldest man
ner, and in away that left the impression
on every one present that he was dis-
pleaj»ed at meeting them. These, and
many other instances of his peculiar
conduct go to show that it is a sad pro
bability that his mind is commencing to
weaken.
VV liiie in the Presidential chair Gen.
Grant was noted for his affable greetings
to all his visitors, and on no other hy
pothesis can the great change in his man
ners be placed than that there is some
thing wrong in his mental faculties.
Perhaps the great straiu on him for the
fifteen years of his eminent public career
has had something to do with the change
in him that is now so painfully observa
ble.
xYnother evidence of his approaching
affliction is the unevenness of his conver
sation. At times he will talk with
fluency and case, and then in a few miu-
utes relapse into au attitude of perfect
silence, and only answer questions by a
Yes” or a “No!”
We most sincerely hope that the great
calamity of “a mind o’erthrown” may
never be visited upon the illustrious
General and statesman whom San Fran
cisco and all the world has delighted to
honor. It would be a national alflicliou
were he to become incapacitated for
future usefulness.
The Last Blue-Bottle.
Sew Orleans Times.
Some of the stalwart papers up North
ar« making a great fuss about the sensa
tion dispafeh sent by General Toombs
when he was invffed to join in a greeting
to the returned tourist, ex-President
Grant, as if Mr. Toombs’ wild and ex
travagant utterances were the expressed
sentiments of the Southern people. Per
haps there is no man in the South who
represents so small a number of his
countrymen as Robert Toombs. The
Southern people are not without their
peculiar prejudices in politics, aDd not a
few of them have some bitter recollec
tions of the rigors of reconstruction, while
far fewer cherish any unkind feelings
about the war. If, however, there are
any who echo the words of Toombs, and
have the smallest desire to fight the war
over again, or to re-enslave the uegroes,
or to damage in any way the Union of
the States, their existence is unknown to
the Times and the public it represents.
There are in the South a few men
who play the fanatic, either from special
interested motives, or for w’aut of men
tal ballast. Toombs and the conductors
of the Okolona States are the only speci
mens of this class that have come be
fore the public iu any way.
They are nonentities as to their
public influence, aud mere curiosities in
our politics. They are the fragmentary
remains of an extinct age; the fossil relics
of a long gone era, or the blue bottle fly
left over from summer to “buzz i’ the
pane” for the brief space of one winter
day’s sunshine. The enlightened press
at the North know this well enough, and
it is a stale and clumsy piece of malice
to pretend otherw isc.
A Mountain of Glass.—Another
marvel recently brought to light on the
YelIowston»paik ol North America, is
nothing less than a mountain of ob^i
dian, or volcanic glass. Near the foot
of the Beaver la ic a band of explorers
came upon this remarkable mountain,
which ri>es at that place in columnar
cliffs and rounded bosses to many huu
dreds of feet in altitude, from hissing
hot springs at the margin of the lake!
As it was desirable to pass that way, the
party had to cut a road through the
steep gl sissy barricade. This they
effected by making huge tires on the
glass to thoroughly heat and expand it
and then dashing the cold water of the
lake against the glassy surface, so as to
suddenly cool aud break it up by shrink
age. Lar c fragments were in this way
detached from the solid side of the moun-
:ain, then broken up small by sledges,
hammers and picks, not, however, with
out severe lacerations of the hands
the faces of the men from flying spliu-
ters. In the grand canon of the Glibson
river, the explorers also found precipices
of yellow, black and banded obsidian,
hundreds of feet high. The natural
jlassof these localities has from time
immemorial been dressed by the Indians
to tip their spears and arrows.
A verdict highly characteristic of Rus
sian justice was recently given in the
District Court of Clierson, in Southern
Russia. Three young collegians of re
spectable parentage stood arraigned be
fore that tribunal upon the charge of
having at different times stolen from the
master of the British merchantman Beta,
lying at anchor in Nicholaieff harbor, a
;olden watch and chain, a purse contain-
ng a sovereign, and a pair of golden
sleeve links. The prisoners made full
confession of their delinquency, but ap
pealed with heart rending sobs to the
] >a riotism oPthe court for exoneration
; rom the legal consequences of their
crime upon the grounds that “thev had
purposed exercising a well merited ven-
geauce upon the wicked English, who
had inflicted so many wrongs upon holy
Russia!” Thus invoked, the jury re
turned a unanimous verdict of “not
guilty,” which enabled the Judge to
mulct the British plaintiff in all the costs
of the action, including the expenses in
curred by the State during the detention
of the three young thieves in prison down
to the day of their triaL
A Landlord in Trouble.—Mr. John
D. Gibson, proprietor of the Gibson
House, Cincinnati, is in trouble, the lady
in the case being Mrs. Charlotte Bruce,
the chief dressmaker of that city. Her
story is that she was engaged to be mar
ried to him for fourteen years, that her
income ranged from $2,500 to $15,000 a
year, that she gave her savings to him to
keep till they amounted to $50,000, and
that she took his note for that amount,
and that he then refused to comply with
the fourteen-year bond for a deed. She
now sues for $50,000 damages for breach
of promise; also for the amount due on
the notes.
The Lunatle Asylum of Florida.
Special Correspondence of the Morning Sews.
Quincy, Fla., November 18.—The laws
Florida provide for the care and maintenance
of indigent lunatics, and of any “lunatic,
Idiot, or insane person u whose parents,
friends or guardians are able and willing
pay for the same, and, for this purpose, the
arsenal grounds at Chattahoochee have been
converted into an asjlum, under tbe super
vision of the Adjutant General of the State,
and superintendence of a physician, subject
to the direction of the Board of Commis
sioners of State Institutions. These grounds
are encompassed by a brick wall twelve feet
high and three feet thick, enclosing bui’d
ings remarkable for their solid character
and commodiousness, unquestionably the
finest architectural work in the State, with
several fine cisterns and other con
veniences. The campus, of nearly four acres
In area, is as level as a dancing floor, with
several large water oaks for shade trees,aDd
ou one side of the beautiful locality is tbe
Apalachicola river in the distance, and on
the other side a lovely country of hill and
dale. The view from the tower of the arse
nal is one of the most charming in the State
iu tbe daytime, aud most classically lovely
by moonlight. I was told by a gentleman
who looked from the tower_ when the snow
was on the ground, that the scene was sur
passingly beautiful. About a mile there
from is the brickyard, railroad depot, and
the town of Chattahoochee is iu the dis
tance of a pleasant walk. All of the valua
ble property, said to have cost from two to
three millions of dollars, and constructed lu
IS34,with an addition of 1,874 acres of land,
is a gift of the General Government to the
State of Florida.
On yesterday, while- in the locali
ty, I asked permission of the Su
perintendent to Inspect the different
departments of the institution, and solicited
iutormation containing the details and
routine of the management—stating frankly
theobieetto be a publication of what I
saw and ascertained relative thereto, as,
in common with every citizen of our State,
I felt a deep aud solicitous Interest in tbe
condition of the unfortuuate inmates—
which proposition was politely acceded to,
and hence the record of your correspondent’s
impressions and observations, in the order
of inspection.
The drug store, store room, commissary
room, are well supplied, aud stable and
barn are in a well kept coudilion, showing
the evidcuees of great care. At a proper
distauee is the colored female building,
nicely fitted up, presentng thu ueatness and
comfort of a good home, with kitchen,
dining room, and a large enclosure of
ground in the rear for the use of the pa
tients,and with a fine cistern of water within
twenty feet of the kitchen, in the charge of
a very intelligent colored woman. The
colored male building, under the control of
most worthy colored man, with a strongfene
twelve feet high intervening, is provided
with a kitchen, a good cistern near by,
and rear enclosure for thu exercise
and convenience of the patients. This
building has been constructed from an ill
conditioned workshop of which now there
is no evidence 6ave a room containing
blacksmith and carpenter tools, which are
soon to be removed to a building east of the
walls about seventy-five yards, to be fitted
up especially for blacksmith and carpenter
work. Both these buildings, used by colored
lunatics exclusively, have all the necessary
conveniences, chimneys, stoves, etc., their
washing done by special contract. The
apartments of the white male building are
iu a tine condition, but at a very early date
the occupants are to be transferred to the
arsenal building, on the opposite sldu
of the campus, which has been fixt-d
up on the three floors, with
handsome aud comfurtable rooms
could be desired, thus gradually extending
the accommodaHons for the lunatics. There
is also a building about oue hundred aud
fifty yards distant, where the worst cases
are confined when they become unmanage
able. The care and direction of the male
patients is committed to a tried and experi
enced nurse, aud they have the privilege of
a greater portion of the open space in front
for exercise, always closely watched. The
white female patients occupy neat and com
fortabl* rooms in oue of finest buildings
on the grounds, and ard^Bupervised by a
most worthy aud intelligent lady. In
their building is a laundry,
ironing and a bath room. Every
thing is very cleanly and neat. Across a
large open space in the rear of this building,
w’hich is used for exercise aud as a relief
from the confinement of the bouse, is
building where are kept the most refrac
tory female patients, but they are permitted
freedom within certain limits, when not in
had spells. There Is a fine cistern near by.
The nurses conduct you through the de
partment, and no oue can enter except by
iheir permission. All the floors are 6wept
aud washed dully.
The male patients are not permitted to
enter the house of the female lunatics
while they are confined to it, and the large
area of ground in its rear, all enclosed by a
very high fence. It is impossible to see
what better arrangement could he made
with this situation of the edifice. The kind
ness of the nurses is manifest in every way,
and their efficiency as such does credit to
the excellent judgment with which they are
selected. Tbe catiog rooms are iu a nice,
tidy condition, and the fare is geucr-
ous and nutritious, the same quality
acd quantity being served out to all alike.
It consists of fresh beef, poultry, fresh park,
bacon, flour and corn bread, potatoes, etc.,
and all the vegetables of the season, which
arc abundantly raised in the gardens, the
better disposed lunatics assisting in the cul
tivation, voluntarily, with coffee and tea.
Tbe diet is regulated by the physician, the
sick and delicate receiving delicacies. The
discipline seems to be almost perfect, the
nurses sleep in the buildings they have the
custody of, and at n’ght there is a watch
man on duty, whose fitness Is as eminent as
far as human judgment cau endorse it.
There Is a .'amp near the cistern, in front of
the white female department, which throws
a bright light upon it, and soon other lamps
are to be placed. Every one connected with
tbe custody and care of the lunatics is busy,
and attends cheerfully and promptly to the
duties of bis or her position, und 6**em deeply
impressed with their responsibility. Their
winter clothes are now being made by an
experienced tailoress and dress maker.
The white male lunatics sit about in
groups at times, deeply interested in rnys
terious workings of their thoughts, but po
lite and attentive when accosted, and every
inducement is offered to get them attentive
to other matters than their own thoughts.
They show much affection for the officials
when in the ministration of theirduties, and
with a little management are perfectly
tractable, though some become uncontroll
able at time3, and are then subjected to ouly
such restrictions, without being harsh, that
will prevent the iufliction of any injury.
Of the 1,874 acres belonging to tne State
125 acres are rented out and about 20 acres
are cultivated as farm gardens,which furnish
the asylum with supplies of oat**, corn,
potatoes, vegetables, etc. The balance of
tbe land is woodlaud and supplies wood for
fuel. There are also about 45 head of hogs
that are expected to be converted into meat
this year.
Mr. James Colson, who is foreman, dis
charges bis duties with promptnc>s and
faithfulness. He is a much respected gen
tleman, his gentle and humane disposition
well qualifying him for the position he
occupies.
Dr. W B. Forman, the physician, and also
the Superintendent, is a gentleman of the
highest character, and of very fine promise
In hB profession. When not engaged inoffi-
cialuuties (which he perforins daily as often
as Is uecessary in vititing all tbe lunatics),
his time Is devoted to the study of medicine,
his library being eupplied with the latest
publications pertaining to the treatment of
the insane, as well as to other branches; and
there is no better evidence of the success of
his treatment than the fact that since De
cember 31, 1878, be h^s discharged thirty
patients perfectly restored in mind as
far as human knowledge can tell. He
baa called iu physicians of high lo
cal repute to attest the propriety
and character of hi* treatment, ana in every
iustance it has received commendation.
He received tbe appointment through the
recognition of his merit by bis friends, and
not from any personal application. He has
enjoyed the immortal privilege of instruc
tion from the Idolized Stonewall Jackson,
at Lexington; was a gallant soldier, and

General J. J. Dickison, Adjutant General,
and who has the supervision of the asylum,

almost any other person, perfected the

n considering all the fact*, borders
tbe wonderful, and he is con
tinuing, with a zeal that never fags, in the
noble work which has been entrusted to him
by tbe authority of the law. There la noth
ing that escapes bis attention which cau be
utilized for the benefit of the poor unfortu
nates, and with his fine judgment, quick

sionate impulses of his heart, he has,
notwithstanding the limited aid of our
Legislature, succeeded in establishing a
comfortable home for the smitten
human beings whose light of reason has
fled, which, if not complete as it should be, is
t particularizing, it is only necessary to
f that they are held rigidly to a faithful
not from want of suggestions submitted by
him to the Legislature of the State. In his
hands, every particle of property belonging
to tbe State has been turned into remunera

the State.
THE FELTON LETTER.
Representative Felton, of Georgia.
Gives Aid and Comfort to tbe
Enemy.
Sew York Times.
Washington, November 14.—Representative
Felton, of Georgia, who is an Independent
Democrat, and who was elected to the Forty-
fourth, Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth Congresses
against the regular Democratic candidate, has
written the following letter to a friend in this
city :
Cabtsrsville, Ga., November 4,1879.
Dear Sir—I received your letter requesting
for publication my views on the situation ant
future outlook of the Democratic party; the
extent and probable future of the Independent
movement m this State; if the South would be
satisfied with the nomination of Mr. Tilden;
also, what effect will the spirit of repudiation
in several of the Southern States have on the
commercial relations of the South? Each of
these questions would require a long article to
answer them satisfactorily, but I must content
myself with a brief rep'y to your entire letter.
First. The present and future of the Demo
cratic party. I am a Democrat, and sincerely
believe that the principles of Democracy as
enunciated by Jefferson and illustrated iu the
post by the teachings and example of distin-
gu shed statesmen are essential tc the per
petuity of our form of government. To estab
lish and preserve those principles should com
mand the untiring attention and labor of every
citizen, wiiether in public or private life. In
doing this we must carefully separate the true
from the false. We must remember that men
and organizations may grow corrupt, and that
sometimes, by a blind allegiance to both,
wo may sacrifice the very principle we
cherish. We must remember that after
the late civil war the Democratic party was
placed bv ite opponents in the attitude of de
fending the South against the stalwart element
of the Republican party, or, more plainly, th-i
Democratic party was unjustly represented as
antagonizing the Union sentiments of the
North. We have lost the confidence of the
North, and we can never regain control of the
government until we convince the citizens of the
United States that we are more conservative,
more observant of the Constitution and the
Uws, more honest and economical, more capa
ble and better fitted to gii«rd the integrity
of the Union and the rights of the citi
zen than the Republican party. We
must recover the confidence of the peop
before we c*n recover political power. During
the extra ses ion of the Forty-sixth Congress, 1
privately and publicly expressed the opinion
that the pr cee 'ingH of th.it session would re
sult ia the defeat of tbe Democratic partv. It
was manifest to me that tbe pa-ai ns and pre
judices of partisanship, rather than reason and
wise statesmanship, were guiding the councils
of Democratic leaders; that they were in-king
capital for their opponents Instead of strength-
emng their owu party, and that they were so
lidifying the North against an already solid
South.
I need not recapitulate the mistakes and
criminal blunders of thit session—our threat
to withhold thu appropriations until certain re-
jH*al measures were approved by the President;
our indirect announcement to the world that
we intended to ignore the executive branch of
the government and to make Congress, with
its factious turbulence, the absolute dictator of
this country; our unsuccessful effort to repeal
the election laws, not upon the ground of inex
pediency, but upon the ground of their uncon-
h' itutionality, and vehemently pressing that ob-
j: ction in the face of the •following section of
the Constitution: “The time, places and man
ner of holding elections for Senators and
Represent itives shall be prescribed in
each State by the Legislature thereof, but the
Congress may, at any time, by law. make or
alter such regulations, except as to the places
of choosing Senators.” "lhe discussions upon
these variou< quet-tions made the impression
upon the Northern mind that Democracy was
nothing but state rights run rnod; that we
would sweep from the statute book the last
war m-asure if we. as a party, were in power;
ih-tt secession and rebellion would again follow
as necessary sequences of this extreme view of
8tate right-?. Thus that most wholesome axiom.
“Support the State goveiaimenta in elltbeir
rights as the most competent administration
for our domestic concerns, and the surest
bulwarks against anti-Republican tendencies,”
was perverted by the impolitic speeches of our
unwise leaders into the rock upon which our
party went to pieces. Then we had the wild
effort to create excitement about the use of
the army at the pdls. Had there been an
army at the polls there would have been some
sense ia this theatrical display, this rehearsal
of providing au imaginary foe. Thqre should
be no army at the polls, and our couutrjmen,
while they eojoy their liberties, will
never again admit an armed soldier at
the ballot box. His presence there is a
symbol of despotism, bui one of the first acts
of President Hayes after his inauguration was
to withdraw the army from every Southern
State where they bad beeu stationed in viola
tion of law, and during this entire war of poli
ticians there was not a single so.dier interfer
ing with the ballot-box in any of the btates,and
we had the direct assurances of this patriotic
President that duriug his term of office no sol
dier should approach the ballot-box to inter
fere with the freedom of elections. Yet we re
ceived his protestations with ribald jest and
bi Ing sarcasm, and “His Frauduleucy” was
the mildest epithet that we applied to this
President, who, for this patriotic w ork, should
receive the respect and gra.itud* of every
Southern man. I need not continue th se re-
itals, these demonstrations of incapacity, of
blin i passion. Suffice it to say that our Demo
cratic Congress has alarm--d the Northern
; eople. They are afraid 13 intrust the adminis
tration of the government to the hands of vio
lent men. They would rather risk the perils of
centralization than again endure the horrors of
revolution. They would aa soon see the gov
ernment “shot to dea h,” as to have it “starved
to death." All tbi* has been the work of cur
self-constituted leaders.
The great man* of the Democratic party are
comervativeln their opinions, and as true to
the Constitution and Union. Yet the toiling
millions particularly in the South, are un
held responsible for tho vaporing follies
of tliese hot-beads. In addition to these
blunders of tbe extra session, there have been
m s*>me Southern localities outrages upon law
and the freedom of the ballot box, which though
they may not exceed io violence similar out
rages in the North, yet they have served to influ
encethe Northern mind against the Southern
people, who, an n whole, condemn sueh out
rages as heartily as any man in the North—the
Dixon murder, the Chisolm murder, the fre
quent acts of intimidation and the efforts of
th- advocates of “caucus dictating” to drive,
nolens volens, all men into the support of their
nominees. I repeat, these acts or violence and
attempted violence, wbile not coniin d to the
South, and man* or them greatly exaggerated,
have contributed largely to the present and
prospec'ive defeat of the Den ocratic party,
and it we fail next year in electing a Demo
cratic President, which now seems inevitable,
I can only s*y. “Deinocrucy has beeu slaught
ered iu toe house of its friends."
You as: me to what extent the Independent
movement is spreading iu this State I answer,
it promises to sweep the State from the moun
tains to the seal>oard next year. I believe our
next Governor and a majority of. our next
Congress ai d of our .'tate Legislature, will be
electei as Independent. Th- bon. st uud in
telligent citizen* of this State are determine d
to throttle and overthrow tha* organized Bour-
bonisiu. which has well r.igh destroyed the
very bulwarks of genuine Democracy,
that never learns and never forgets
that s ands as a barrier to our ma
terial progress, narrow, selfish and 11 ioeraL
Iu only bond of union a struggle for spoils. Ps
only hope of *u-cess the tricks of the caucus
aud the lash of the party. Its fruit has turned
to ash-s in the hand** of our countrymen, and
Georgia Democrats are resolved to rescue the
Democratic party from iti destructive grasp.
Indepeudentism does not rely upon party ma
chinery; confides in principles; enthrones
country; and tru-ts the people rather than
party leaders
You ask if Tilden'a nomination would be sat
isfactory to the people of tliis Mate, and if the
South would give him a solid and cordial sup
port. The people of Georgia would not be sat
istied with Mr. Tilden's nominitiou. He might,
and I think he would, carry the St .te. but it
would be “by tbe akin of his teeth.” The peo
ple of Georgia are convinced that he loves bis
money more than the Democratic party. They
believe that bod Mr. Tilden never been heard
' Democracy would today be triumphant
this Union. They are tired of his grievances,
and hundreds of the best Democrats in the
btate will not vote if he is nominated. There
is no use in talking about Mr. Tilden. 1
imagine that to-day’s work in New York
will quietly lay him away among the
other relics of antiquated Bou^bonism, and
hereafter men will study him as a rich speci
men of ihe “ways that are dark and the tricks
that are vain.” I believe there is but one man
_ the United States who, as a Democrat, can
win the Preside nev next year That man is
David Davis, of Illinois Mr. Bayard is an
bonei-t, incorruptible man, but h s position on
the silver bill at the last cession of Congress,
and his financial views generally, will arrayxhe
whr le Greenback party agaiDst him. And Dire
let ms bay, that party is not dead, nor does it
sleep. Tne people believe that if Sir. Bayard’s
vi-ws on finance are correct, then General
Grant and S cretary Sherman, and other Re
publicans are entitled to all the credit
of their establishment, and should en-
oy all the honors which may accrue from
heir successful advocacy. In addition to this
objectiomhis candidacy would fail to quiet the
North. The scarecrows that Republican
leaders, aided and abetted by Bourbon fanatics.
•nd greenbacks. Business la now reviving.
The stimulant of a large influx of gold into
this country from Europe, good crops here
and bad crops there, has brought it about, be
cause the volume of money has been increased
by a favorable balance of trade. This revival
of business is now blessing the country, but
when the gold takes the back track, as it ia
liable to do at any time, then comes the crash. 1
Let us have free and unlimited coinage of |
silver; let us increase our greenback circula
tion pro rata with the increase of silver '
gold, and thus, by keeping up the volume of
money, make the present “business boom”
permanent. Then, my word for it. repudiation,
and the spirit of repudiation, would perish in
the land.
In conclusion, whatever party shall be in
power, may the different sections of the Union
reap the benefits of a wise and liberal policy,
growing in wealth and population, in virtue .
and intelligence. May the liberties of our coun
trymen be perpetual. Very respectfully.

Your last question is: What effect will the
spirit of repudiation have op the commercial
relations of the South T Let me say that I do

individuals who advocate repudiation as a
remedy for tbe financial ills we are suffering.
