WEDNESDAY MORNING May 6, 1868
For PRESIDENT
Os the United States :
ULYSSES S, UIAM,
ELECTION FRAUDS.
We have never known abetter illustra
tion of the stratagem of the elmsetl )iiek
,.ticket in him.suit crying “stop thief,*’ to
deceive his pursuers, than the course of flic
Tories in charging fraud on the Republi
cans in the late elections. It is notorious
that in those counties where the white
Republicans were us scarce as righteous
men iu Sodom, the most glaring and out
rageous frauds, intimidation, and violence
wefe committed. It is preposterous to
allege that the colored people could com
mit election frauds. Their short period of
enfranchisement lias not been sufficient to
indoctrinate them in Democratic principles
and practice pipe- laying, ballot-box
stuffing, and all the other technicalities of
the arts of rascality.
Nobody, who knows any thing of the
subject, w ill believe, for a moment, that
the frauds, if there were any, were commit
ted by the officers presiding at the elections.
Four out of every five of the registrars and
superintending officers were Democrats, and
voted the Democratic ticket. Their breth
ren, the Democratic editors, do them very
scanty justice in accusing them, but as
they all think through the same quill, and
know each other so well, perhaps, after
all, they do them justice.
We believe there have been some vil
lainous doings in this election, but to
suppose the two or three poor white
Republicans in the counties in which these
frauds are nllcdged to have been committed
were able to cheat three or four hundred
smart, learned, rich, and wise aristocrats
is giving them credit for an immense deal
of smartness. To suppose that a crowd of
ignorant colored men could overcome, in
political strategy, the aforesaid smart and
dignified aristocracy, shows that the dan
gers of negro supremacy is greater than we
supposed it. A race of people just emanci
pated from slavery, poor, uneducated, anil
uncouth, who can chent so many smart,
learned, and superior people, must have
sonic brains in their skulls.
THE STATE VAT IT Ah.
There seems to have been no prepara
tions made as yet for the meeting of the
Legislature in Atlanta. There is nothing
to prevent Milledgevillc remaining the seat
of government until such arrangements as
the people of Atlanta have promised to
make have been made. In view of the
embarrassed condition of the finances of
the State, and other considerations, it is to
be hoped that Milledgevillc will remain
the scat of government until the stipula
tions proposed by the Atlanta people are
fulfilled. The people of Fulton count vdo
not seem very heartily to appreciate the
benefits of having the capital at Atlm.o.,
if we may judge by the way they voted at
the recent election. Augusta did a thou
sand times better.
HIE THEY AILING DISTEMPER.
Journalists are historians, 'flic daily
records upon the newspaper page, impar
tially made, are invaluable for future
reference. It is an impressive thought,
that the character of a people is best
portrayed—-the month' of a people best
attested—by turning the leaves of History
as written by the faithful journalist.
Prominent among the characteristics of
the times in which ire live—the year of
grace I.Boß—must be mentioned a distemper
now raging with virulence in this and other
Southern localities. It is a peculiar malady,
novel to our people. Its hite is venomous.
It spares neither se.x. youth nor age, learned
nor ignorant, saint nor sinner. It enters
the marts of trade—intrudes upon the
family circle—ignites the hearts of firemen
—steals into the temple sacred to “Faith,
Hope, Charity”—poisons the atmosphere
of the Sunday School room pollutes the
Pulpit—nay, strikes down the Lord’s
annointed as they meet around the Altar
to devise measures for the advancement of
His cause and kingdom in the earth 1
ProxerijitioH is the name of this pesti
lence that walketh in darkness and poison
etli at noon day.
IMMI G If A Tl ON TO THE SOIT/I.
The New Tori; 1 inter observes in many
of the Southern papers a very curious anom
aly. They publish editorials of an inflam
matory character on the impeachment ques
tion, the most disreputable assaults on loyal
m< ii at the South, openly indorse the Ku
Kiux Klan, and incite Northern immiyro
tiou. We do not think their appeals likely
to be very successful. No doubt the sub
stantial portion of the community South
desire to unite moneyed and industrial
immigration, but, unfortunately for that
section there is a class of men there, mostly
young and irresponsible, who generally man
age to speak for and overawe the eutiri
population. They are the bane of the South.
They dragooned her into the rebellion, and
they are now deliberately depriving her of
the last and only hope of recuperation from
the effect! of her folly.
I he country offers material inducements
for immigration, such as perhaps no country
ever before did. A fertile soil, cheap land,
and plenty of it, a delicious climate, the
best natural system of water communication
in the world, mines of mineral treasure and
mountains of ore—her physical attractions
are unparalleled. The conditions of civiliza
tion, moreover, are all at hand. The settler
lias not to abandon the comforts of the
world and isolate himself for life from his
fellows. A ready market is at hand;
communication is open with all parts of the
land. The main trunks of her railways arp
at least surveyed, built, and in partial
operation ; her forests are cut away, and
the malaria of new countries dispelled;
churches and schools are built; the frame
work and machinery of civil government
is provided. In short, the South offers
to the settlers the advantages ol anew
eouutry without the drawback* Oou
eidering all these things, the question is
asked, why is It that wc have a iurfeit of
capital that will not cross Mason and Dix
on's line ? Why is it that immigration aud
investment fore* their Way through the
passes of tho Rocky Mountains rather than
enter the inviting fields of die South ?
There can he no prejudice or |Kilitieal,feel
ing in this thing. It is a matter of business,
'The iqiewor is simple. It is not plcasaut—
the probabilities am that it is not safe—for
Northern men to go into the Southern
mates to live. If they do not practice it
themselves, the majority of tho people South
encourage a system of proscription which
is revolting to men and women who go
among them to live ns neighbors and friends.
It is not from timidity or fear that North
ern *en refuse to go South to live. The
bulk of them have faced Confederate steel
aud heard unmoved the roar of Confederate
artillery. Tint they are unwilling to live in
a land where they must suffer implied insult,
if nothing more, from morning till night.
They are not willing to expose a wife and
children to the chances of Southern civiliza
tion. Most young men of ordinary means
and manly impulses would rather take a
woman to the frontiers than to a Southern
plantation or a Southern village. More
Ilian this- Northern young men arc un
willing to expose themselves daily to a street
fight or tavern brawl. Such encounters in
their eyes autl under our civilization tire
disgraceful, and it is folly to go in the" way
of them. Os course there arc many places
where this would not occur. But until there
is some earnest demonstration on the part of
the whole South against, such atrocities,
'hey must, in the common nature of things,
be received as indications of the condition
of the country. When this fact is under
stood and appreciated at the South a differ
ent course ot events will follow.
If Southern editors, above all others, would
realize the force of wluft we have said, we
are quite sure that they would do their
country more service t’out they seem to he
doing it at present.

Triumph of Reconstruction in the Late

in Augusta Rebel "Christianity ’ llltts
tratal--Hon. Foster lllmb/ett.
Acui/sta, Ga., April 25, 1808.
COM: It A I, REMARKS.
The week jttst closing has been one of the
most exciting in the annals ol Georgia,
although its excitement could not have tran
scended its importance. For the second
time since the rebellion the principles of
liberty, Union, and equality, have mot their
intolerant at.d proscriptive enemies at the
polls, and the result is such as to cheer every
patriot heart. No Northern man, who Inis
not spent a great deal of time in the South,
and mixed promiscuously with its people,
can torni any adequate conception of the
noble courage which it was necessary for the
white and black Unionists to display to win
this victory. When I look back at the power
ful agencies which were employed by the
Confederates—for I tell you that this elec
tion was just as much a contest between the
ITnito'l States tool the Southern Confederacy
as was the battle of Gettysburg or Ohieka
muiiga—l wonder at our success,, for you
must remember that nine tenths of the
wealth of the State is in the hands of the
Confederates, and they have not hesitated
to use this wealth to defeat the Constitution
and the gallant Bullock.
It may not bo uninteresting to mention
some of the agencies re-sorted to by tiie
Democrats. Os course it is well known
that nearly the entile colored population
tire employed by the Democrats. It is safe
to say that there was not one employer in
twenty five of this class tlmt did not notify
his or her employees that if they voted the
Radical ticket they could eat no more of
their meat and bread. The merchant was
notified that if he did not vote for Gordon
and ngainst the Constitution ho would
receive no more | atronage. The white
mechanic was threatened with dismissal,
and persons refused to speak to—and if
they did speak, it was only to bitterly curse
—those who were known to favor recon
struction. Intimidation, violence, ar.d
money, have been freely resorted to by tin
Confederates; but all without avail. Tho
friends of reconstruction comprehended the
immense issues at stake, and they have
proved themselves noble defenders of im
mortal principles. I say they comprehend
ed the importance of the contest: with tho
black matt it was a contest for freedom in
(act as well as in theory; with the white
man it was a fight for the light to live iter".
THE ELECTION IN THIS CITV.
1 was a close observer of the progress ol
the four days’ balloting in this eitv, and
must say that i never saw as little fraud,
where more than five thousand ti txoox exer
cised the right of suffrage. Gen. Meade’s
orders were strictly carried out, and even the
Democrats admit that those orders estab
lished fairness between the parties. Fairness
—but there’s the rub. It. was just vvliat they
did not want. However, it is just what they
got. Yet, the K. K. organs here asserts that
Irauds were committed. Nonsense I Each
party had its challengers present, and those
challengers manifested great zeal in behalf
of their respective parties. Hence,_iio man,
white or black, was permitted to vote whose
right to do so was not clearly established.
ATTEMf'T TO GET UP A lII.OT.
The polls were closed at G P. M. on
Thursday. During the entire election the
young bloods were intent on fomenting a
riot, which was only prevented by the ex
cellent police arrangements of Mayor Blod
gett, and she cordial co-operation of Major
Trowbridge; id' tho Regulars. But, alter
the polls closed, their certain defeat made
them desperate They could no longer
restrain themseiv s. Garland A. Snead,
brother to one of their candidates for the
Legislature, mounted the steps of tiie court
house, and exposing his pistol, the carrying
of which was a direct violation of General
Meade’s orders, as well as of the law, pro
posed three cheers for General Gordon,
which were given with groans for Bullock,
Blodgett and other Unionists. This at once
created the greatest excitement. Clubs,
brickbats, knives anu pistols were bran
dished with fearful promptness. Several
policemen were struck by the chivalry, and
one or two colored men cut. The Mayor
and Major flaw-bridge soon quelled the
disturbance and dispersed the crowd. The
Confederates were not satisfied, however.
A crowd of them gathered near-the post
office, and, unfortunately, a crazy colored
man passed and knocked a lady down, when
the aforesaid bloods commenced shootiiu'
negroes in ail directions. Luckily, they
were so blindly furious that they diilio
harm. Blodgett’s billies aud Trowbridge's
bayonets soon dispersed tfieso rioters’ 1
feel binnilinted as a man to have to add
that the Demncrttta express the greatest
regret tliaPfbe crazy negro was not sane,
so they could be justified in killing all the
negro«| in it? -But such'is Denioc
«*y- . .
I’ltoscßii’Tioit in the pulpit.
A State Convention of the Baptists of
Georgia assembled here yesterday, and one
of their first acts was to proscribe the only
Union paper in the city, the National Ha-
I’UBl.ican. “I believe it is- usual on such
occasions to preparo accommodations for the
reporters of such papers as choose to attend,
hut on this occasion the Convention invited
the reporters of the Ku Klux organs, and
when the pastor of the church horo earnestly
appealed to the Convention to include the
reporter of the Republican, the Convention
indignantly voted the proposition down. The
ltEruiii.ic'AN is thus insulted and proscribed
for no other reason tliun its advocacy of
reconstruction. There are more Baptists
connected with that paper directly and indi
rectly, than with all the other papers com
l ined. The uncharitable vindictiveness of
this Convention is only exceeded by its
unblushing impudence, Jor while the doors of
the Convention are slammed in the face of
the reconstruction paper, some of its mem
bers are quartered on citizens tcho are recon
struct ionisfs.
SUItKW II DODGE.
The Democrats flatter themselves that
many colored men voted their ticket; but
1 have reason to know that not more than
twenty live or thirty, out of nearly three
thousand, actually so voted. They
were too sharp for those who wished them
to declare at the polls, by voting for Gor
don, that the negro had no right to vote.
They secretly obtained tickets printed on
precisely the same kind of paper and with
the same kind of' type as the Democratic,
but containing the entire Union ticket. It
was thus that black men and white men
have found it necessary to protect them
selves in the exercise of their rights against
the powerful proscription of infuriated
secessionists. Nearly six hundred white
men voted the Radical ticket in this city, at
least four hundred of whom are unknown
to the Democrats, and to the great mass of
Unionists themselves, as Republicans.
FOSTER BLODGETT.
It would be unjust to pass in silence the
eminent services of this distinguished Geor
gian. “Redeemed, regenerated, disen
thralled,” Georgia owes more to him to day
than any living man. Asa member of the
Stale Convention, of which he was the
acknowledged leader, lie so directed legisla
tion as to frame a Constitution of which
every Union man is justly proud, and which
commanded the support, of many Democrats;
and as Chairman of the Union Executive
Committee of the State, he “organized
victory.”
I know that District Attorney Fitch lias
had him indicted for perjury, in that he has
taken the test oath ; but when the trial
comes, and all the facts are elicited, his right
to do so will be triumphantly vindicated.
Mr. Blodgett lias taken tho. test oath, ntid
feels justly proud that he can take it. He
has taken it once, and will soon he called on
lo take it again. I have no means of know
ing whether Gen. Butler was simply guessing
when lie predicted that Foster Blodgett
would soon appear on the^floor of the Senate
as the equal of the proudest of them ; but if
he was lie guessed like a prophet, 1 for Foster
Blodgett, will be elected to the Senate. Y'ou
will find that there is not a more active
worker or truer man in that entire body. I

The provision market has, much against the

Prices arc certainly reaching a high point so
early in the season, and such a rapidly advancing
market to lie sustained lias never been in the
history of the trade before, yet stocks are con
ccntratcd in strong hands, and there may be no
decline, but the willingness of many to realize,
while they have so good and sure a protit, may
result in at least n lull in the trade, if not an

Nkw York, May- 1, 1868.
Since our last review no essentially new ele
ment has been introduced into the cotton ques
tion. Tho Abyssinian war has ended, but it will
tako so long a time to remove the army, stores,
etc , that "no incroase of freight from Bombay
can be expected until after the wet season has
set in —a period too remote to have much Gleet
on the price of cotton. The cable advises that
the Bombay exports for the first half of April
were 30,100 bales, but the course of the Liverpool
market has been a strong argument that these
figures are erroneous. Our receipts are very
small, and for all practical purposes we may
consider the crop as in. The stock on hand not
on board ships seems very small, and wo do not
think Europe can look for more than 60,001)
bales in addition to shipments now on tho way
or about clearing. Taking this view of the case,
let our home trade be as bad as it may, we must
look for a higher range of prices, for tho supply
of Europe is fully 600,000 bales short compared
with the present rate of consumption. Short
time will of course correct this deficiency, but it
does not seem that current prices are high
enough to induce such a movement. The rice
crop of India is reported as excellent, and this
moans a largo demand for Manchester fabrics.
Tho political horizon of Europe has no signs of
a war cloud, and abrlsk trade mustbo looked for.
Lastly, the home trade of Great Britain is ex
cellent., on account of the promise of large crops,
and when wo consider that an active home trade
will take one third of the productions of .Man
chester, short time at 12Jtl. seems a very remote
myth. Irt another month, or six weeks, the
prospect of our crop will have more or less influ
ence on tile markets of Europe, and it is not
perhaps to look at the promise of the yield of
1868-69. A great change of feeling on this
point has come over the market of late; the
stimulation of high prices is every where, ac.
' ll wedged, hut tlieio arc some general priori,
pies ami physical (acts, quite ss powerful ns Gfv
stimulation of 30 cents, which are at work in
—; »
thil country ai counterbalance* to the- hopes of
a big crop, the general impreesion seems to be
that the crop of 1887-88 will be a maximum
measure for that of 1868-69. It is a notorious
faet th«t a Urge number of mules hare been
disputed of taring the Wintor to the Northern
and Border States by those who planted on a
large scale drring the past season, and their
ability to ejdtirote is correspondingly dimin
ished, even if tho disposition were as strong as
last years Cttton planting, since the surrender,
has been anything but lucrative, and from every
section wo hear the report that farmers fear to
entor extensively into the cultivation of a staple
whieh has paid a loss for three successive sea
sons. *
Another poiut should likewise be considered—
the political agitation incident to a presidential
campaign caauot fail to seriously detract from
the amount es cotton picked, for the laborers are
in the main forking this season for wages and
have no direct personal interest in the crop,
while the politicians will do their utmost to turn
the attention of the freedraen to babecuos and
prurex consequently from their labor,
at tho period ol the crop. These
three general, apply to all the
wit stock, fears of
the los-rcs ol three successive
years, iical agitation incident to the
vote. In addition to
these gmUnniuees, the late rains have necessi.
tated the replanting of a large amount of tho
cotton sown It is true that a long Autumn will
remedy the damage of a late Spring, but the
most severe rains have occurred in the mure
Northern of the Colton States, where at best the
season is short, and whero they can ill afford to
replant at this season. The above reasons seem
the foundation of the growing belief in a small
crop next year, and Europe will sooner or later
believe in them; for having been so greatly
misled last year concerning tho size of our crop,
a rush to the other extreme is most prubable
next season.
