THE STATE REVENUE.
While in Atlanta recently, we were in
formed by Major Madison Bell, Comp
troller General, that the tax digests and
instructions for this year had not been sent
out to tax receivers, and could not be until
the Legislature had passed a tax law, so as
to enable the Comptroller to frame his in
structions in conformity with its provis
ions. He has the digests in readiness for
distribution, and is only awaiting the
action of the Legislature. As a paramount
object, and one which it seems to us de
mands the earliest possible attention, we
would suggest the propriety of at once
passing an act for raising the necessary
revenue, and making such changes-in the
present tax laws as may be deemed neces
sary, so that the receivers can go to work
and receive the returns, in order that the
taxes may be collected at an early day.
In consequence of the fact that the pres
ent Legislature was convened at an unusual
tim<j| we would further suggest the pro
priety of so changing the present law as to
allow receivers and collectors more time to
discharge their respective duties for the
present year, »t least.
We can nbt refrain, in this connection,
from noticing the diligence, and industry
with which Major Bell has entered upon
and is performing the arduous and com
plicated duties of his office. ■ So far as he
is concerned, he has determined that the
present administration shall be a success.

A Work of Supererogation.—We
wonder if the delegation that went from

heart read, and then answer himself whether
he can longer stand by these Democratic
ruffians and support their revolutionary
candidates—Seymour and Blair, We say
white friends be discreet, but brave. The
contest will not be long, nor is the issue
doubtful. The people of the country want
peace. Grant will secure it for us, if to
secure which it be necessary to arrest every
paroled prisoner in Georgia. Then be firm
and patient. “ The blood of the martyrs is
the seed of the Church.” It is not every one
that has the privilege of dying for his prin

Alx Craxy.—The Cincinnati Gazette at

" REIGN OF TERROR." .
Montezumas, Macon Co., Ga., August 26.
Editor National Republican :
That the whole State, with the authorities
over the same, may know how the colored
people are treated in our county—Dooly —
I write this. lam now out of the woods,
where I have been for a week hidden to save
my life, not daring to go home for food or
clothing; which n a comfortable home
have a wife and little ones there, with pigs
and chickens, with a good corn and cotton
crop, now neglected, because I, as a free
colored man, saw proper to aid in the organ
ization of a Grant and Colfax Club near
me, with a Constitution endorsed by Colonel
Ed. Hurlbert, President of the Central Grant
Club of Atlanta. Now, sir, I have not been
charged with any crime for which forty or
fifty men should be af.er me, but simply a
Republican, wanting to see the liberties of
my race secured. These armed men are
Democrats, sworn to kill me and all men
getting up these clubs ; some of them are
officers of the law, Judges of the Courts, and
Sheriffs. They are persecuting us under
the name of keeping order and suppressing
insurrections among my race. They patrol
the roads, as of old, to catch slaves out after
times—they beat us w'th sticks—if we have
a social gathering during week days, it’s
found out soon the house is surrounded by
armed white men ' om a distance, and by
order it’s broken up- >ur women are taken
from us, and abused in such away I shr'l
not here relate. At church, armed white
men sit to watch us. We can not enjoy
ourselves, and therefore our churches are
never filled like other sections —we fearing
some tfifficultv, and prominent men of color
will be put in jail. I mean Republicans,
for they are always the most intelligent.
Bat I must speak further of our Clubs: One
was organized near Vienna, Dooly county.
All protested before hand that they intended
nothing against the whites, but, on the day
of meeting, fearing trouble, they went out of
town, to meet on a colored Liend’s planta*
tion. Soon a er being organized, the place
was surrounded, and the President, Hugh
Dean, forced off to jail, under a strong guard
of whites, well armed. The Judge of the
County Com! and Sheriff of the county
swore they w6uld not recognize the negro as
having the right to vote and hold office, and
they should not have Grant Clubs in that
ebunty ; that if they could not defeat Grant
any other way, th / would kill the last
damned uegro in tuat county. Another of
the Club was knocked down for claiming
that the colored people had the right to
meet and peaceably discuss their rights, and
all the rest were frightened away. After
this success by a hundred and fifty armed
whites, they went up to where another Club
had been organized—this was some six
miles off—and finding the meeting had gone
.through with its business, they hunted for
some of its members; ran Women and men
into the woods froYn several plantations,
where they were at work. All these whites,
well armed, were on horseback. A detach
ment, with a Constable with it, came by Mr.
Pittsman’s plantation, late in the evening.
After passing a lot of colored men at work,
three returned) came up to two of the men
sitting on the fence, and said to Jerry
Brown ; “You are one of the scoundrels who
had a gun at the Club meeting—come along
with us—don’t yon run, or we will shoot
you.” Their guns levelled, so he had to go.
Down near Mr, Wallace’s Mill he was tied
to a tree, and shot dead—part of his head,
was shot away, shot in the hand, back, etc.
The man was inquired for next morning,
and some of the same command told us
where the body could be found. When
found, the hogs was hold of it. How many
colored men have been killed and thrown in
the river, aud left in the swamps, God only
knows. Be it said, to our race’s credit, we
have not killed a white man since we have
been freed in this county. These white
citizens are going about declaring we are
not free; are taking our shot guns away
from us. They all have arujy guns, most
shoot several times. Most ot the colored
people I talk to are going to leave the
county; but to go now, the whites would
have all our orops, which it seems they
desire. The jail is full of Grant Club men,
who are persuaded every day to join the
Seymour and Blair party, but they refuse;
so they are kept iu jail—otherwise they
would be set free.

HON. HIRAM WARNER AND THE
ATLANTA RAR.
Mr. Editor ; Part of the members of the
Atlanta Bar have as I see by the news
papers, addressed a’ettcr to Judge Warner,
urging him to accept the position tendered
by Governor Bullock on the Supreme
bench. This was clearly a work of super
erogation. The Bar was not in the least
possible danger of losing the -valuable
services of Judge Warner on the Bench
after the place was tendered to him. There
,-,'as for a time doubt whether the Governor
would ever nominate him. But there never
was the slightest doubt in the mind of any
who knew anything of the facts that he
would.aecept the position if he could get it.
Judge Warner hung around Atlanta for
weeks, seeking the position. When it was
doubtful whether he would be appointed,
he said be ha ’, no pride about being Chief
Justice. That his wish was to remain on
the bench, as he did not want to go back to
practice, aud that he would be satisfied if
he was retained upon the Bench, as one of
the Associate Justices. That he was per
fectly satisfied for Gov. Brown to be ap
pointed Chief Justice! etc.
These were his professions when he
.wanted the place. Viter it had been con
ferred upon him by Governor Bullock, he
undertook to sting his benefactor. He
first wrote a communication for a newspa
per, in which he attacked the Governor,
and spoke in very flattering terms of
himself—referring to himself as that able
Judge, incorruptible patriot, etc. It is
reported that he tried to get a friend to
copy it, and hand it in and have it pub
lished. This his friend refused to do.
After this came the appeal to him from part
of the Atlanta Bar (I do not know who
first suggested it), urging his acceptance,
which gave him an opportunity to say of
Governor Bullock, what he tried to say, in
the manner above stated. His modesty
caused him to leave off the self-laudation
which he had written in the anonymous
communication.
Judge Warner was a candidate for
election to the Supreme Bench before the
late Legislature, and was defeated by-
Judge Harris by nearly two to one. The
State then got along without placing him
in a “subordinate” position on the Bench
After that defeat, and the effort he lately
made to get the appointment, it did not
need any one to “manipulate him” to get
him to accept He eould not have been
choked off after the position was placed
within his control. Justice.
Which is Right ?—The strategists of the
World say General Grant as a soldier is
“destitute of ideas, and incapable of fore
sight”
Lieutenant General Sherman, in his
address before the Army of Tennessee last
November, says: “Afrer a whole year of
toil and battle, varied in adventure that
would fill a volume, that renowned fortress
(Vicksburg) succumbed at last to the army
and navy, led by two heroes that have no
superiors in tiny county, and both of whom
still live to reap the reward of their labors—
Grant and Porter.” ’

'FLAG-RAISING.
Atlamta, Ga., August 24, 1868.
To day witnessed, at McPherson Barracks,
the soul-inspiring ceremony of “raising the
flag.”
At C o’clock p. in., Major General George
G. Meade, United States Army, and staff, in
full uniform, followed by two companies of
the Fifth Cavalry as an escort, dashed into
the Barlack square. Splendid carriages,
containing the elite of Atlanta, followed and
formed in line facing the flag-staff. The
Sixteenth Regiment of Infantry, with the
cavalry on the left, formed on the parade,
and General Meade having taken his station
opposite the line, the ranks were opened and
presented arms.
The General, followed by his staff, then
galloped to the right of the line, and, on his
approach, the band poured forth in strains of
unsurpassed harmony, “Hail to the Chief.”
The General then passed down the line,
scanning closely the bearing and equipment
of the men, after which he returned to his
position near the “camp-color.”
The ranks were then closed and tfie line
of cavalry and infantry wheeled into column,
and the command given to “pass in review.”
The troops inarched splendidly before the
General in quick time, the officers saluting as
each company passed, and many who were
present were reminded of the “pride, pomp
and circumstance of glorious war,” in the
days when the liberty and unity of this great
Republic were at stake.
The line was again re-formed and arms
presented, after which Gen. Meade advanced
close to the centre of the line, and, taking off
his hat, addressed the soldiers, at the special
request of their immediate commander, Col.
Maloney. He reminded them of the greatness
and glory of our common country, which, by
the blessing of God, was to-day restored
united to the great family of nations; and
he hoped that in the future no storm would
arise to remind us of the past. He adverted
in eloquent terms to the flag—the emblem
of our nationality—and, in sight of lordly
“Kennesaw,” prayed that the God of Justice
would forever protect and prosper our
people.
The General having finished his remarks,
Col. Maloney then addressed the troops,
stating that the flag would be given to the
breeze by the lovely daughter of Brevet
Brigadier General Sibley, Colonel of the
Sixteenth Infantry.
Miss Sibley, escorted by Brevet Major
Trowbridge, United States Army, advanced
to the flag-staff, and, while the band poured
forth the soul-inspiring strains of the
“Star-Spangled Banner,” and the ar
tillery, under the command of Lieut.
Ray, thundered a Federal salute, the
troops saluting with presented arms.
Our beautiful banner was hoisted to the
neak for the first time at McPherson
Barracks. Reverentially I think of the
glorious young General who, almost in
sight of this beautiful place that bears his
name, yielded his precious life for
his country. He of whom General Grant
said, “Tbe country has lost a noble soldier,
and I my best friend,” on hearing of his
death. The whole scene was well calcu
lated to inspire the soul of the patriot with
renewed fire, and give to the weak and
shrinking courage to face boldly the storms
of faction. His Excellency, Governor
Bulloek, with General Meade and the
officers of the staff, and garrison, were the
guests of Col. Maloney and his officers.
The festivities were closed by agrandi
hop and an eloquent collation prepared by
the ladies of the garrison.
Fair women and brave men joined
together in the mazes of the dance, and
* tripped the light fantistic toe” until the
“wee sma’ hours” warned them to slumber,
and happy rememberances of the ‘iflag
raising” at McPherson Barracks.
Old Soldier.
Jefferson Davis in Liverpool.—The
Liverpool Star, of August 6, thus announces
the.arrival ol Mr. Davis and his family:
The celebrated President of the Confeder
ate Government during the American civil
war, Mr. Jefferson Davis, arrived at Liver
pool with his family, on Tuesday evening, in
the Allan steamer Austrian, from Quebec.
Mr. Medley, accompanied by his carriage,
aud several other carriages and their owners,
including Mr. Medley, Jr., Mr. Priolean, Mr.
James Spence, and other well known friends
of the Southern government, were in attend
ance. The ex-Presidenl’s party included
Mrs". Jefferson Davis, Mr. Jefferson Davis,
Jr., Mr. William Davis, Miss Margaret Davis,
Miss V. A. Davis, and servant; in their
party was also included Dr. and Mrs. Raw
son, Miss E. Rawson, and Miss Mackenzie.
Mr. Davis is a thin, wiry looking man, appa
rently about sixty-five years of age. In
I features he is exceedingly like the photo
graphs oi him, which are well known in
Europe as well as in America. He was
dressed in a plain walking suit of gray plaid
iog, and, on the whole, spemed to be lively
and well satisfied, although he complained
of being somewhat out of health. Mr.
Davis and his family are stopping at the
Adelphi Hotel in strict privacy, and they
will remain in Liverpool for a few days, to
recruit from the fatigue of the voyage. Yes*
terday they remained iu their apartmehls,
where they were visited by a number of
American and English merchants.
How Villainy Thrivis The Corning
(N. Y.) Journal says of Brick Pomeroy :
“Seventeen years ago he was employed
in this office, earning five dollars per month
and his boafd. Now he is probably worth
one-third of a million of dollars. He was
offered SIOO,OOO to advocate Chase’s nomi
nation at the Democratic Convention, with
a like sum if nominated. He refused,
knowing that the readers of the LaCrosse
Democrat hated the “nigger” too intensely,
but the offer showed his powqras the Great
Mogul of the Copperhead wing. He threat
ened to bolt if Chase was nominated, and
thus, though ho lost Pendleton, he kept o fl’
Judge Chase,.and gave Seymour the chance
to run.”
It is very little wonder that Northern
men going South should take no more than
a carpet bag, since they stand so light a
chance of seeing their baggage again, or
even of returning. However, some 1,200,000
carpet baggers, under General Grant, con
trived to stay South as long as they cared to,
and some eight or ten thousand, under
Butler, were kindly entertained by the rebels
at their own expense. After such illustra
tions, who can complain of Southern hospi
tality ? New York Tribune.
—Hon. Ezra Cornell, the founder of the
Cornell University, has replied to numerous
applicants for pecuniary assistance in pro
curing an education, through the New York
Tribune. He tells all desirous of means to
pay their college expenses, that work will be
furnished them on the farm and g-ounds
and in the workshops cf the University, for
which they will be paid at current rates.
He adds:
“In conclusion, I will assure the boys
that if they will perforin one-fourth as much
labor as I aid at their age, or as I do now st
sixty years of age, they wilt - find no difficulty
in paying their expenses while prosecuting
their studies at Ithaca.”

'IHE CHRONICLE AND SUNDAY’S
RIOT.
Mr. Editor : If it were not such a serious
matter, it would be amusing to think of the
affected innocence of the Chronicle d: Sen
tinel in its account of the disturbance of last
Sunday. Just keep from smiling in con
tempt, if you can, when you read its asser
tion, “ There was nothing of a political
nature about this riot."
What has become of the teachings of
Ranse Wright, Bob Toombs, and Ben Hill?
Is there a negro who can not see that the
insults offered to the Republicans almost
nightly in a certain neighborhood come from
that unfortunate class whose only merit con
sists in being white—persons who have been
persuaded by these political pests to lay
aside religion, morality, decency, honor and
honesty, that they, the very scum of the
democratic cauldron, should have the priv
ilege of domineering over them, instead of
being thrown into the dirt, as they deserve,
by the Republicans.
It would be amusing, too, to hear that the
demnition niggers were “organized and
armed,” if it had not been stated that “a
crowd of white men, who were also armed,”
indicated that there was a heartily recipro
cated desire for mischief. Not political by
any means I only a little Sunday recreation,
to get up another indignation or some other
sort of meeting in favor of disorder and
rowdyism. Serio Ludrico.
