TAPPING THE UlttES.
The latest returns from the elections In
Ohio and Indiana Indicate no important
changes in the result already anticipated
and generally accepted, namely, that the
former State has solemnized her matrimo
nial relations with the Republican party,
and that Indiana has at least given the Re
publican candidate for Governor a majority
Bomewbere between five and seven thou
Band, with the probability of the State
ticket and the majority of Representatives
in Congress.
The representatives of the belligerent re
publics of South America who have accept-
the mediation of the United States in the
Interests of peace and the closing of the
present war between them, will meet in
convention on board the United States man-
of-war at Arica. It Is understood that hos

Tne registration for the two days that the
lists have been opened in New York city
numbers 145,270, against 80,064 for the first
two days of the registration last year. These
figures indicate an enormous vote in No
vember next, and that Hancock and English
will be sent out of the city by at least sixty
thousand majority.
A section of the Greenback party in Bos
ton has nominated Wendell Phillips for Con
gress from the Fourth district.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, in reference to
the election Tuesday, 6ays: “The effect
upon the Democracy of the Union will cer
tainly be as invigorating as was the effect
of the Maine election in September last on
the Republicans. The vote of Indi&Da is
not needed to elect Hancock, and the vote
of Ohio was not expected to contribute to
that event.”
A heavy frost, the first of the season, fell
at Weldon, North Carolina, yesterday morn
ing.
The Democratic National Committee is in
session In New York. The results of the
October elections and the prosecution of
the campaign are among the subjects con
sidered.
In the recent fight at Maseru, Cape Col
ony, between the British forces and the
Basutos, the latter lost heavily, the forces
of Captain Bayly retreating into the fort at
nightfall. He is well supplied with provis
ions. but Carington’s command are not so
well off, having to slaughter their horses
for food.

tists is in session at St. Louis, Mo. One
hundred and fifty delegates from all parts
of the country are preset.
The bondholders of the city of Mobile,
and the Commissioners appointed to effect
a settlement, met at New York yesterday,
The former represented over one million
of dollars of the bonds of the city. An
agreement was arrived at without opposi
tion as follows: The city is to issue new
bonds redeemable in thirty-five years with
interest at 3 per cent, for five years, 4 per
cent, for fifteen years, and 5 per cent, for
fifteen years.
It is probable that the proceedings for
the enforcement of the religious decrees
against the unauthorized religious orders in
France will be on a larger scale than was
anticipated, as the Prefects have recom
mended that the decrees be executed at one
stroke, in order not to prolong agitation
until the tri-ennial elections.
Two newspaper publishers have been sen
tenced to fine and imprisonment In Paris for
libelling President Grew.
The Congress of the Association for the
Advancement of Women is in session at
Boston.
The French Chamber of Deputies will
probably meet on the 9th of November
next.
The fourth day’s celebration of the Balti
more Sesqui-Centennial was as much of a
pageant as those preceding it. The civil
and beneficial societies procession was im
mense, twelve thousand horses and twelve
thousand men beiog in the line. The city
was illuminated last night.
Great excitement exists in Colorado,
growing out of the murder of the freighter
Jackson by the Utes, to whom he had been
delivered by the Indian agent. The agent
has been arrested, charged with murder,
and the people are determined to avenge
the murder of Jackson at any hazard. Sec
retary Schurz has telegraphed Governor Pit
kin to use every means to quell the feeling,
which, if persisted in, will lead to a war
with the Utes, costing many lives and mil
lions of money.
The steamer Brierly, of the Red river
Navigation Company, was burned six miles
above the mouth of Red River on Wednes
day evening. She is a total loss, but no
lives, fortunately, were sacrificed.

sion of Dulcigno was the threatened occu
pation of Smyrna by the powers.
At the Episcopal Convention yesterday,
several matters of interest to the Church
were considered, among them the enforce
ment of the law against polygamy—the ques-
* tion of free sittings in churches hereafter to
be consecrated, and communicants who fail
to communicate for a given time. These
were referred to appropriate committees.
A convention in the interests of cheap
transportation is in session at Chicago.
About four hundred delegates, representing
the Western, Southern, border and Atlantic
States were present. The discussion elicited
the fact that the convention favored nation
al legislation to protect consumers from ex
orbitant charges of railroads.
The war of reduced rates between the
Chicago and Alton and the Wabash Rail
road still continues. The former reduced
rates for limited tickets to Chicago and
Kansas City to (2 70, when the latter im
mediately dropped to $1 70. The St. Louis
offices of both roads were crowded with
ticket buyers.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Mobile and Ohio Railway was held
at Cincinnati yesterday. The report of the

Now for New York.
Now that the October elections in In
diana, Ohio and West Virginia are over,
the attention of the whole country will,
during the period which intervenes be
tween now and the 2d of November,be di
rected almost entirely to New York, the
pivotal State of the Presidential contest
That a desperate battle will be waged
for the thirty-five electoral votes of that
State cannot be doubted, for they are es
sential to either party in determining the
result. Should the Democrats succeed,
her thirty five votes, added to the one
hundred and forty votes of the sixteen
Southern States, will give .General Han
cock one hundred and seventy-five, or
ten les3 than necessary to a choice in
the electoral college. These ten, how
ever, he will probably secure without
d fficulty from either New Jersey and
Connecticut or Indiana, all three of
which States he is likely to carry, to
say nothing of the seven votes of Maine,
on which he has good reason to count
On the other hand, should the Republi
cans carry New York, with the strength
they can command throughout the
North, East and West, it is more than
probable they will win the fight, and
Mobilier de Golyer Garfield will be the
next President of the United States.
The Republicans, therefore, will
now bend every energy towards
carrying the Empire State,
Through the defection of John Kelly
and his Tammauy followers last fall in
their great fight for “principle” (?) and
against the “one man power” in the
State, the administration is Republican,
and as Governor Cornell is a Radical of
the Garfield stripe, he will let nothing,
which he can possibly remove, stand in
his way to prevent a Radical victory.
The counting out machinery is in his
bands, and those of his party, and it
has even been gravely hinted that
if all other means fail him
he will convene the Republican Legis
lature of the State in extra session for
the express purpose of inducing it to
pass a law to take the appointment of
electors out of the hands of the people
and^ vest it in the Legislature. It is
hardly to be supposed, however, that he
will resort to such revolutionary means
as this to gain his point, since to
do so would inevitably result disastrously
to his party in other States. Still, there
is no telling what the Radicals may do.
They have shown themselves bold
enough to defraud the people of the
Presidency once already, and if they
can safely do so again, there is no doubt
that they will make the attempt. And
while Cornell will, probably, not be
guilty of thus boldly stealing the electo
ral vote of his State for the Republicans,
“under the form of law” he will do
whatever may be possible for him, in
union with his party, to accomplish his
ends.
Certain it is, therefore, the main bat
tle ground will now be transferred from
Indiana to New York, and the greater
portion of the office-holders’ campaign
fund not expended in the former State
will bq lavishly poured out iu the latter.
All these facts which we have mentioned
the Democrats well know, and they re
alize how imperative it is that they
should be firmly united so that the popu
lar verdict of their State may be re
corded and acknowledged. What
that verdict will be, if the people
are allowed a full and fair expression of
opinion, there is no question. If the
Democracy of the Empire State are vigi
lant, active and determined, they can
secure the coveted 35 votes of New York
for Hancock and honesty, against Gar
field and Credit Mobilierism by a hand
some majority. _____
Mr. Norwood’s Letter.
We cheerfully give place to the letter
of Hon. T. M. Norwood, which will be
found in another column. In his com
munication, after taking us to task for
printing, without comment, articles from
the Baltimore Gazette and St. Lou
is Republican on our Gubernatorial
election, Mr. Norwood proceeds to re
view the action of the nominating con
vention and to vindicate the course of
himself and the minority by whom he
was placed in nomination.. In transfer
ring to our columns the paragraphs to
which he alludes, we did not
indorse them, word for word,
nor did we feel it incumbent on
us to controvert the views they expressed
in regard to a matter which had been
already so thoroughly discussed and
which is so well understood in Geor
gia. Our object was simply to let our
readers know the light in which the con
test inaugurated by the “gallant minor
ity” was viewed by the Democratic
press outside of the State.
We have no desire, nor do we consider
it necessary, to follow Mr. Norwood
through hi3 labored attempt to justify
the minority in its attempt to overrule
the will of the majority. We are per
fectly willing to let Mr. Norwood
and the leaders of his faction have all
the benefit they can derive from his closing
argument The verdict of the people
has been rendered. With that verdict
we are content to let the matter rest.
Tha Result in Indiana.
The latest from Indiana is anything
but encouraging. It seems that the Re
publicans have elected their State ticket,
eight of the thirteen Congressmen—a
gain of two—and they also claim a ma
jority of the Legislature. This is really
the worst feature of all, since it ensures
the gain of a Radical Senator in place of
Hon. Joseph E. McDonald.
As we remarked yesterday, although
the result is a great disappointment, still
it should not be discouraging. Its ten
dency will be to banish the dangerous
overconfidence, and consequent apathy,
into which the Democracy was inclined
indulge, especially since the
Maine election. It will thoroughly
unite the party and rouse it to renewed
vigor and exertion, and even if Indiana
is not reclaimed in November—though
we believe it will be—still with the
South, New York, New Jersey, Connec
ticut, and possibly Maine, Democratic,
Hancock s election will be secured.
Should the Indiana defeat bring about
this result it will truly prove a blessing
in disguise.
The first day of registration in New
York city was taken advantage of by
72,570 voters, which is 16,000 in
excess of the first day’s registration in
1876. The World thinks this large reg
istration indicates a vote of 200,000, and
65.000 Democratic majority in the city,
while the Times says “it is useless to dis
guise the fact that so large a registration
will be generally accepted as favorable to
Democratic success.” The Times ex
pects a registration of over 200.000, and
total vote of not less than 190,000.
If the gentlemen who report this bill
will put in a section, that all who parti
cipated in the rebellion shall be forever
excluded from the right of elective fran
chise, then I will say the proposition will
be just, and one we can stand upon as a
matter of principle. Anything is just
which excludes from privilege and pow
er all those infamous men who partici
pated in the rebellion.”—Garfield’s Speech
on Reconstruction,
Our Next Representative in Congress
—Shall He be From Georgia or
From Maine l
Assured that the Democrats of this,
the First Congressional district, will
support, to a man, the Hon. George R.
Black, the nominee of the National
Democracy, we desire to say a few
words this morning to the colored citi
zens of the district who have hitherto
affiliated with the Radical party. And
we ask th eir attention to, and considers
tion of the statements and facts we
shall submit to their thoughts.
By the Constitution of the United
States, as you know, the Federal Govern
ment is the creation of several indepen
dent sovereign States, who yielded to
this common agent, for the general wel
fare of all of them, certain powers of
sovereignty, retaining to themselves the
control of all other matters within their
respective borders; and that the Federal
Union might be, in fact as well as in
words, a common country for all of the
States, the Constitution says, further, that
“the citizens of each State shall be
entitled to all privileges and im
munities of citizens in the several States.
It does not say that the citizens of each
State shall be citizens of the several
States, but only entitled to all privileges
and immunities of citizens in the several
States. Mark the difference (for it is im
port&nl), as it is a declaration that the
citizens of one State are not citizens of
the other States, but only partakers of
their “privileges and immunities” under
the common bond of the Federal Union.
A citizen of Massachusetts, therefore, is
not a citizen of Connecticut, of New
York, of Ohio, of Kansas, or of any
other of the several States. Nor can
citizen of Maine be a citizen of Georgia.
You, consequently, like the white citi
zens of this, our district, are Georgians,
and not Maine men.
Being Georgians, your political and
material interests are identified with
those of the other citizens of this First
district in proportion to the individual
stake of property, and of civil and po
litical liberty. If the white citizens
prosper the colored citizens must pros
per with them. If the white citizens
suffer the colored citizens must suffer
with them. There is a community of
general welfare or of misfortune affect
ing both races, binding them in a com
mon fortune, whatever that may be.
Now, for the first time in the history
of the district, Savannah has the open
ing for comerce and trade, that succes
sive generations have so patiently waited
for; Brunswick has commenced her ca
reer of growth and prosperity; and Da
rien and St. Mary’s anticipate with reason
that the tide of prosperity will be felt
sensibly also in their waters. The plant
ing interests were never better, and are
increasing, and industries of various
kinds are receiving encouragement. All
due to the new life and enterprises given
to our seacoast by its now complete con
nection with the great West, through our
admirable system of railroads. Savannah
is the second cotton port in the country,
next to New Orleans, and her commerce
and trade are worth every year at least
fifty million dollars and increasing. To
hold our own and grow 6till larger, our
river must be improved and kept con
tinually in order. Our harbors and in
lets and railroads must be looked after
with judgment and brought into con
dition for adding to our strength and
wealth. There is not a cotton or lumber
ship loaded or vessel discharged that
does not distribute its dollars and cents
to both the white and the colored
races, according to the interests and la
bor of each in and upon it. There is not
a dray hauling goods or cotton through
the streets that does not represent the
c ombined interests of the white and col
ored man. Cast your eyes around you
and you will see that every interest in
the district is held in common by the
white and the colored citizens without
distinction of race,color, or previous con
dition, in proportion to the capital of
such invested, whether of money or of
labor. We, then, the white and colored
citizens, constitute one people, or com
munity, and to stand and prosper we
must be a united people. This is a uni
versal truth, “United toe stand, divided
we fall;” from which neither the white
nor the colored citizen can escape, how
ever much he may desire and try to do
so.
If, then, our interests, material and
political, are in common, the question
comes up for us to decide, “who shall
protect and foster them best in the Con
gress of the United States?” Shall we
select an agent or representative who
is familiar with them and in every way
capable of managing them? or shall we
take a stranger who knows nothing at
all about them? If we wanted to run
an engine we would choose for the pur
pose an engineer, and not a drayman.
If we wanted to cultivate rice we would
not look for cotton hands, nor would we
take rice hands to raise cotton. Com
mon sense says “every man to his trade,”
and to be successful we must follow
common sense.
Therefore, shall we send to Congress as
our agent, Colonel Geo. R. Black, a
Georgian who was born, reared and edu
cated in the district, and is familiar with
its wants? Or shall we send Colonel
John T. Collins, a stranger from the
State of Maine, who knows nothing
whatever of us, or of our ways, or of our
interests and needs? In other words,
will you choose an engineer to run
our engine, or an unskilled drayman? It
will not do for you, any more than for a
white citizen, to decide this question on
abstract party lines. It is relative to our
interests, and involves the increase or
decrease of the dollars and cents in your
pockets as well as in ours. Besides, per
mit us to ask you fairly and cahnly
which party has done the most for
you and for the promotion of the
good feeling so happily existing in
this district between the two
races, the National Democratic
or the Radical ? Do you recollect when
that pestilent fellow Bradley, with the
silent approbation of the Radical Col
lector of this port and of his satellites of
the custom house, post office, and
Freedman’s Bank advised you to “go to
the polls armed with hatchets and knives
and cut down every d—d son of a
of & white man you met there;” and can
you set against that advice, any word, or
act of the Democrats exciting the white
blood against you? Does not the record
of the Southern States, without an ex
ception, prove that the colored people
have been better protected, encouraged,
and prospered, under Democratic rule
than under Radical control ? We say
without exception, and we challenge a
contradiction; our little neighbor across
the river, South Carolina, furnishing
the most incontestible proof of our state
ment ? Has the Democratic party ever
fooled you for your votes, or swindled
you out of your money, or used you in
any and every way, as have done the
white Radical carpetbaggers and scala
wags, and so secured offices and
made money for themselves? We
put these statements, facts, and ques
tions fairly and squarely before you,
and ask you to think over them well be
fore you determine your vote, whether
it shall be for your intelligent fellow-
citizen, George R. Black, or for
the incompetent gentleman stranger from
Maine, CoL John T. Collins.
Judge Black on Radicalism.
Hon Jeremiah S. Black, whose certifi
cate in Garfield’s favor was abundantly
quoted by Republican journals a month
or so ago, has followed up his vigorous
exposure of that humbug by taking the
stump in the interest of the Democracy.
His first speech delivered at York, Pa., on
Thursday last, has all the directness, the
vigor and the pungency of his written
contributions to the discussion since the
canvass began, and is no less admirable
as an exposition of Democratic princi
pies than as an arraignment of Republi
can inefficiency and extravagance. He
begins by pointing out that the right of
local self-government, for which the
Democracy contends, is “the great prin
ciple which the Continental Congress
thundered into the ear of the world when
it declared that each and every one of
these States should be sovereign, inde
pendent and free to regulate its own in
ternal affairs according to the will of its
own people,” and is “the only safeguard
for life and property.” The question in
his judgment is the “very core
of the practical controversy which has
been going on for a century between
the friends and the enemies of honest
government in America. It cannot be
otherwise than transcendently important,
for the destruction of State sovereignty
is the destruction of popular liberty. You
cannot under our system have a free
people without independent States.
After this preface the Judge proceeds to
show that every man who believes in the
whole American system of government
should be a friend of General Hancock.
“The latter,” he says, “is and has been
for it in every part. His sword defended
the lawful authority of the Union; he
threw his shield before the breast of civil
liberty; it was his great order that vindi
cated State sovereignty. Having done
all these things it cannot be denied that he
ought to be numbered among the great
est benefactors of his country,” In the
course of his speech Judge Black says
There i3 one other thing which you
must not omit to notice. I mean the
propensity cf our opponents at all times,
and under all their different names, to
cheat at elections. I call it the anti-con
stitutional party as the only one that fits
them through and through, but it has a
long string of aliases and many disguises.
In all of them, ho wever, it shows out one
plain, broad mark of identity; that is its
utter contempt for the right of free
suffrage. I think that nobody now denies
that Packer was elected Governor and
counted out in 1866; nor can it reasona
bly be doubted that the majority against
us in Philadelphia has been enormousfy
swelled by the frauds of every year. In
ihe Southern States no pretense was ever
made by the administration party of a de
cent regard for the rights of the legal
voter. Under acts of Congress, which
that body had no more right to make
than the Town Council of York, nearly
all the qualified electors were forced
from the polls, and others without show
or color of lawful right were brought up
to stuff the ballot-boxes with administra
tion tickets. It was by intimidation,
ruffianism and false counting that the
carpetbag governments kept themselves
in existence for ten years. But the in
corruptible Democracy was equal to all
this. Unawed by influence and unbribed
by gam, they elected Tilden, and utterly
routed the corruptionists. The majority
of the white people was a million, re
duced to 300,000 by the black vote. Of
the electors duly appointed there was a
clear majority of twenty-three against
them. No man was ever elected to any
office in this country if Tilden was not
elected President of the United States.
Then came that enormous outrage
which made the name of our opponents
infamous forever. They fraudulently
altered the appointment of twelve elec
tors enough to give Hayes a majority of
one, and on that fraud they put him in.
The corrupt knaves that assisted them
are billetted on the Treasury as a reward
for their crimes, and we, the people, are
taxed to pay them for cheating U9 out of
our birthright. There was no excuseXor
this that can be accepted even as a miti
gation of the crime—no pretense of any
excuse at all that was not founded in
perjury and forgery which aggravated
its baseness a thousand fold. I confess
I am disappointed in the effect of this
upon the popular mind. I believed that
the thunders of universal condemnation
would break over the heads of the men
who had done this thing. But they took
the moral measure of their party
better than I did. Doubtless there
are many thousands who have
determined in their hearts not
to trust such criminals any longer;
doubtless the confidence of many men
heretofore acting with them has received
a shock from which it will never recover;
but their organization is nearly as com
pact as it was before, and most of their
eaders move with a step as alert as ever
iu support of a nominee who made him
self especially conspicuous in the perpe
tration of that great wrong. But the
cheated millions that we had before are
with us still. The immense majority
that voted in 1876 for State indepen
dence, honest government, popular lib
erty, peace between the sections and
equal justice to all men, will vote again
in the same way. To these will be add
ed the thousands in every part of the
country whose conscience forbids them
to support the particular kind of fraud
to which this administration owes its ex
istence. Still further will the great ma
jority be swelled by enthusiastic love
for the great deliverer who disinterested
ly stood by the cause of libei ty at the
time of its extremest peril. The oli
garchy that persecuted and sneered at
lim then shall painfully feel—
‘What freed men can do when their hearts are
on Are,
For the hero they love and the chief they ad
mire.”
Of course we will elect Gen. Hancock
as surely as we elected Mr. Tilden, and
by a much larger majority. But the
same men who cheated in 1876 may
cheat again in 1880. They do not appear
to have repented. They have not said
or done anything to show that they
would not commit the same crime over.
What then? I can only answir: If you
be men, bear it not. The deliverer who
leads us now has always been true to the
people in war and in peace; and no
matter what betides us he is sure to be
true in the future. Let us also be true
to him in every emergency; for his
danger is our danger, ana if he falls by
another fraud our rights will perish
forever.
Letter from Hon. Thos. M. Norwood.
Editor Morning News: The election of
Governor being past, and your favorite
being successful, I think you should
cease to misrepresent the minority. You
called them “bolters,” “disorganizers,”
“Radicals,” “lunatics.” etc., during the
campaign, and yet your appetite is not
sated. In several issues of the News
since the election you have kept up this
misrepresentation. You copy editorials
from papers in other States which con
tain false statements, and you do not call
attention to their errors. To day you
cop}’ from the Baltimore Gazette this
error: “Governor Colquitt was the regu
lar Democratic candidate, and his oppo
nent was the nominee of an independent
organization, which had received the
support of the Republican leaders.”
You know that is not true.
You know Governor Colquitt
was not “the regular Demo
cratic candidate.” You know there was
no regular Democratic candidate in that
race. The Democratic party in Georgia
has always put out regular candidates
by nominations made by conventions.
You know that the late convention did
not nominate Governor Colquitt, and that
he ran despite the usage of the party and
the two thirds rule of the late conven
tion.
Again. You know or ought to know
that I was not ‘the nominee of an inde
pendent organization which had received
the support of the Republican leaders.”
There were no Republicans in that con
vention. The minority were and are as
true Democrats as the majority. No
Republican leaders, or leader, or in the
rank and file, had anything to do with
putting me out as a candidate, nor did
any ‘ independent organization. ” These
are all misstatements, and why do you
indorse them by reproducing them u*
your columns? You are supposed to
lead clippings, and, according to jour
nalistic ethics, you are responsible for
publishing any misstatement affecting
the character or motives or acts of any
one referred to in the article you repro
duce.
You may reply that the Gazette is
right. If you think so; if you believe
that that “Governor Colquitt was the
regular Democratic candidate;” if you
believe that I was “the nominee of an
independent organization:” if you be
leive or suspect that that “independent
organization” t( had received the support
of Republican leaders,” and, conse
quently, that my nomination was made
by the joint action of such “independent
organization” and Republican leaders”—
why say so. I beg you will not overlook
the language of the Gazette. It does not
say that I received the support of Re
publican leaders on the day of election.
Every one knows that Republican lead
ers supported both Governor Colquitt
and myself at the polls and during the
canvass. The Gazette neither says nor
means that It says I was the nominee
of an independent organization which
had received the support of the Repub
lican leaders.
Again, in today's News you copy
from the St. Louis Rejrublican these
words: “The regular party, under Col
quitt, aud the bolters, under Norwood.”
As you have called the minority “bolt
ers,” I assume that you fully indorse the
above. There are but three ways by
which the minority could nave bolted,
first, by bolting from the convention,
second,by bolting fiom the nominee, and
third, by bolting from the Democratic
party.
You will not pretend that the minor
ity bolted from the convention with the
facts before you that they were in the
convention every minute of its session,
that they voted on every question and
for every nomination made, and that
they voted against final adjournment on
the sole ground that they desired to have
a nomination for Governor, and that
they remained in the hall after the ma
jority had refused to nominate anybody
except Governor Colquitt aud had with
drawn.
You cannot say the minority bolted
from the nominee of the Democratic par
ty, because there was no nominee. No
sane man has ever claimed that Gover
nor Colquitt was nominated according to
the usages of the Democratic party and
the rules and law of that convention.
The last and only other possible way
for a bolt was by bolting from the Dem
ocratic party. I would be glad to hear
you undertake to reason on that propo
sition. The Democratic party is an
organization. It has certain usages and
rules to control its action and to pre
serve its existence. One of its usages is
the two-thirds rule for nominations.
This rule is used to nominate candidates
for Presidents, Vice Presidents, Govern
ors, Representatives to Congress, State
Senators and Representatives. That
rule was adopted by that convention; it
was never repealed-, the majority, by
clinging to Governor Colquitt and re
fusing to unite with the minority in
nominating some good Democrat whose
name was not before the convention,
and by adjourning without a
nomination, broke through the
party barrier of the two-thirds
rule—violated the usage of their
party—refused to obey their own rule
and law—and thus, by disregarding the
usage and law of the Democratic party
which control its action iu conventions
called to nominate candidates, they, the
majority, bolted from the Democratic
party, and Governor Colquitt followed
their example by running as an inde
pendent. We have but two kinds of
candidates in Georgia—regular nominees
and independents. That political hybrid
—that Democratic monstrosity—a recom-
mendee—was never heard of in Georgia
politics until born of and baptized by
the majority on the 10th of August last.
With a word personal to myself, I
close. In the News of the 4th inst, you
produce an extract from a postal card,
to the effect that I charged in my speech
in Bainbridge, that “the News had been
mrchased by Colquitt.” The writer is
n error. He misunderstood what I said.
I certainly did not intend to impress the
mind of any one that your support of
Gov. Colquitt was purchased by him or
any one. T. M. Norwood.
Savannah, October 13,1880.
Spurgeon has written the following
letter to I. K. Funk & Co., New York,
in reference to their publication of his
new, quaint book—“John Ploughman’s
Pictures:"
“You have my full authority to pub
lish ‘John Ploughman’s Pictures’ in'the
United States The present want of
copyright law enables me to give you
only a moral right, and that I concede to
you on the terms mentioned, only wish
ing that it could be of more value to
you.”
As Messrs. Funk & Co. pay Spurgeon
a royalty on every copy of this new book
they sell, those who believe that a for
eign author should be compensated will
purchase this edition of Ploughman’s
Latest Talks.
England’s proposition that certain
Turkish islands in the ^Egeau sea shall
be seized by the combined fleet in order
that the Porte may be brought to terms,
does not seem to meet the unqualified
support of the powers. In fact, it is an
nounced from Rome that Russia is the
only power that has given its uncondi
tional adhesion to the schem?, while
from Paris it is stated that Austria and
Germany reject it The position of
France and Italy is not stated, but it is
likely that they will oppose the proposi
tion—France in order to maintain her
pacific policy and Italy to side with Ger
many. There is, therefore, no prospect
of an early solution of the problem Eu
rope has on hand.
The most disreputable campaign story
yet concocted was recently given circu
lation to in the Cincinnati Gazette, than
which no more bitter and malignant par
tisan journal exists. It was to the effect
that thirty-four years ago W. H. English,
the Democratic candidate for the Vice
Presidency,became pension administrator
of his grandmother, who was the widow’
of a revolutionary pensioner, and under
the plea of insolvency has defrauded the
heirs of their money ever since. Such a
story would scarcely have been believed
in any event, but coming on the heels of
the election, it is gratuitously silly and
slanderous. Mr. English has thought it
necessary, however,to stamp out the slan
der at once, which he effectually does by
publishing in the Indianapolis papers the
receipt in full of every one of the heirs
in question, given in 1849, attested be
fore responsible witnesses, and his set
tlement with and discharge by the court
granting the letters of administration.
The Gazette's charge was manufactured
out of whole cloth. It will not be so
fortunate as it has been with other cam
paign slanders of the kind, as Mr. Eng
lish announces his purpose of bringing
the proprietor into court to answer a
charge of malicious libel as soon as the
election is over. Deacon Richard Smith
has made a serious mistake this time.
In a speech at Mentor, Ohio, Friday
last, Mr. Garfield spoke of “the purity of
the ballot-box” as “the cradle of pur
heir-apparent of American sovereignty.”
Yet he is the man who, as visiting states
man to Louisiana in 1876, arranged and
systematized the means by which the
actual and honest results of the election
in two parishes were fraudulently re
versed, and who, as electoral commis
sioner in 1877, voted to sustain those
frauds. When such a man talks about
“the purity of the American ballot-box,”
we may reasonably expect to find His
Satanic Majesty engaged iu Christian
work.
Sumner vs. Cookling.
Hon William Pinckney Whyte. United
States Senator from Maryland, addressed
a large meeting at the Philadelphia
Academy of 3Iusic on Saturday evening,
which was a noble plea for peace and
reunion, in answer to Senator Conkling’s
9cream of sectional hatred. Mr. Whyte
quoted, at the beginning of hi9 speech
from Charles Sumner’s last address to
the people of Boston, these words,
which he likened uato “apples of gold
in pictures of silver:”
‘Reconstruction’ is now complete.
Every State is represented in the Senate
and every district is represented in the
House of Representatives. Every Sen
ator and every Representative is in his
place. There are no vacant seats in
either chamber, and among the members
are fellow citizens of the African race.
And amnesty nearly universal has been
adopted. In this condition of things I
find new reason for change. * * *
Frieudship does not grow where former
differences are thrust in sight. There
are wounds of the miud as of
the body. These, too, must be
healed. Instead of irritation and pres
sure let there be gentleness and gener
osity. Men in this world get
only what they give—prejudice for pre
judice, animosity for animosity, hate for
date. Likewise confidence is returned
for confidence; good will is returned for
good will; friendship is returned for
friendship. On this rule, which is the
same for the nation as for the individual,
I would now act So will the republic
be elevated to new heights of moral
grandeur, and our people will manifest
that virtue ‘greatest of all’ which is
found in charity. Above the conquest
of others will be the conquest of our
selves. Nor will any fellow citizen
suffer in rights; but all will find new
safeguard in the comprehensive fellow
ship!”
“These,” says the Wilmington Every
Evening, “are certainly noble words, and
show unmistakably where Sumner would
have stood to-day, when to serve a mere
parly, section is sought to be arrayed
against section and prejudice, animosity
and hatred are preached as holy duties
to the Northern people, and so distin
guished a leader as Senator Conkling
absolutely gloats over the sorrows, the
misery and the poverty of the Southern
people. We do not see how men claim
ing to be civilized, to say nothing of
Christians, can look with other than hor
ror on such an effort.”
Winthrop for Hancock.
Robert C. Winthrop's Letter in Boston Post.
But my vote will be influenced solely
by the desire to help in breaking up the
intense sectionalism which has so long
prevailed in our land. I long to see the
Southern people once more divided into
parties, as they were when I was in
public life—not by caste or color or
sympathy with a lost cause, but accord
ing to their honest judgment of what is
best for the whole country. But the
North must concur and even lead the
way in this patriotic obliteration of sec
tional prejudices or it will fail
to be accomplished. I am not
one of those who foresee dangers
to our institutions or to the
general prosperity of the country in the
success of the Democratic party. Nor,
in view of the great uncertainties of the
result, does it seem wise to create
panic in advance by exaggerating parti
san predictions. In my opinion there
has Dever been a moment since the war
ended when it would have been safer to
entrust the government to such a man as
General Hancock with the assurance
that it would be administered upon prin
ciples as broad as the Constitution and
as comprehensive as the Union.

Threatening Aspect of Affairs in
Ireland.
Raleigh yetes and Observer.
Ireland is again in an appalling con
dition. The wave of sympathy which
swept over America last fall for the
suffering people of that ill-fated island
has scarcely subsided, when we are
called on to view quite a different spec
tacle. The people have become, from
one cause or another, extremely dis
affected towards the government, and a
political crisis is impending. The
Fenians are again busy. The Land
Leaguers are terribly inflamed, and are
pressing their views with unheard of
energy. Great demonstrations, attended
by fifty thousand people, have been held
at different points in honor of Mr.
Parnell, who has virtually assumed the
role of a Fenian leader. The blood of
Montmurres has tainted the air and
added frenzy to the excitement of the
people.
An attempted revolution is imminent.
Heretofore the Irish tenants have had
much sympathy from all parties in Eng
land, but the possibility of an attempt to
separate has not been considered. It will
meet with no favor from the balance of
the kingdom. It would operate to unite
all classes against Ireland, and, although
it might begin under favorable circum
stances, yet it would prove, in the end,
a great disaster and augment the dis
tresses of the people. Already military
preparations are in progress. Such
troops as can be spared will quickly be
thrown into the arsenals and fortifica
tions of Ireland. Imprudent counsels
may prevail, and those who sow the
wind may reap the whirlwind. But we
cannot lose our sympathy for the actual
sufferings of the tenants, nor for their
dreary yoke, being linked for all time to a
foreign people who are indeed their po-1 must be sold for tiie benefit of the

General Grant is reported as saying
that Hancock is “vain, foolish,” “sus
ceptible to flattery” and “crazy about
being President” Then he went on to
r modestly about himself that his
nomination at Chicago would have
broken up the solid South and made both
parties national parties. Then “my visits
abroad and my studies on the questions
of commerce and trade,” he added, with
still greater modesty, “would enable me
to materially advance the commercial in
terests of the country. ” But for these
remarks the country would never have
known what it lost by this failure to re
elect a man whose “visits” and whose j
’studies” in the course of a twelve-
month have enabled him to raise the
United States to the commercial leader
ship of the world. He would have
beaten even Sherman’s success in paying
the national debt out of bis own pocket.
It is reassuring to learn thus from his
own lips that Grant is not “vain,” “fool
ish” or “crazy about being President.”—

Calling tiie Chilians to Account.
The Opinion Rational, of Lima, of
September 9, says that from Arica it
learns that the Hon. Mr. Christiancy,
United States Minister to Peru, on pass
ing that port asked for explanations
from the Chilian authorities as to the
burning of the United States consulate,
and as he obtained only evasive answers
to it, it is considered certain that he has
given orders for the Adaims to call at
that port and exact the necessary satis
faction for the offense. If this should
be refused the paper states she is to bom
bard the iown. The Panama Star and
llerald has no faith in this story, but
gives it for what it is worth. There is a
rumor that the United States Minister to
Chili has presented a note, in which
England coincides. In this note the
powers, it is said, express their regret at
the occurrences in the South, and trust
the excesses which have hitherto follow
ed their victories will not be repeated.
The Republicans Give Up Maine.—
Mr. R. P. Palmer, managing editor of
the Boston Globe, telegraphs to the
Democratic National Headquarters:
‘Maine Republican Committee met in
Portland Thursday, and conceded the
election of Plaisted, and that he would
be inaugurated. The statement of Re
publican papers that 1,394 votes were
cast for Harrison, Hiram, Harry and
Morris Plaisted is false and foolish. It
has been based on hasty reports of town
clerks for a purpose. Records of towns
named have been examined and found
to be correct for Harris M. Plaisted.
Technically and absolutely Plaisted has
a plurality of about 300. Official returns
of clerks will not be opened until the
Legislature meets, but they will be like
town records.”
Grant, the great head of the Republi
can party, in a recent letter to a Mexican
Cabinet officer, giving the Mexican Gov
ernment a large amount of paternal
financial advice, told him the proper
thing for Mexico to do was to issue an
indefinite amount of greenback, irre
deemable currency to put the people in
funds. Such advice, coming from the
head of the party which says it is the
‘party of honest money,” is potently
suggestive of the in dwelling hypocrisy
of the whole rotten organization.
Noticing the royal ovation to Ulysses I.
in New York, on Monday night, the
World says: “A transparency does not

in the procession bearing the neat and
appropriate motto: 1 Ate, Ccesar, im-
perator, morituri te salutantj n
It should be noted, says the Courier-
Journal, that Grant’s treasonable pro
gramme received the indorsement of his
party. “Secession and rebellion,” in the
event of Hancock’s election, is the dis
tinctly defined programme of the Radi
cal party.
Grant says every Northern State Legis
lature will compel the State’s Congress
men to resign and resist a Democratic
administration. Grant should show
what power a State Legislature has to
‘compel” a State’s representatives to re
sign.

T HESE Spectacles are manufactured from
“MINUTE CRYSTAL PEBBLES" melted
together, and are called DIAMOND on account
of their hardness and brilliancy.
Having been tested with the polariscope, the
diamond lenses have been found to admit fif
teen per cent, less heated rays than any other
pebble. They are ground with great scientific
accuracy, are free from chromatic aberra
tions, and produce a brightness and distinctness
of vision not before attained in spectacles.
Manufactured by the Spencer Optical Manu
facturing Company, New York.

Optician, is Sole Agent for Savannah, Oa., from
