WHOLESALE FALSEHOOD AND
SLANDER.
The Ku-Klux organ, of Sunday, teems
with the most flagrant falsehoods and the most
diabolical slanders of men who have more
patriotism and honor in their little finger
than has their brazen slanderer in his whole
vile body. Without further preliminaries,
we proceed to notice his villainous attack on
one of the most honorable und harmless citi
zens of Augusta—Samuel Levy, Ordinary
of Richmond county. The editor of the
Ku-Klux organ claims to be a lawyer, and
hence the community has a right to infer
that wherever the requirements of the Code
are misstated by him, it is done wilfully and
knowingyl. If we have too high au opinion
of the intelligence and knowledge of the
editor, we are sorry for it.
The organ is very mail because the Re
ceiver of Tax Returns gave his official
bond, and charges the Ordinary with luul
feasance in office in not requiring the officer
to give “bondin double the amount oftaxcJ
due in the county, taking the taxes of tkJB
previous year as a basis.” Samuel Levy
would have made this requirement if the
law had so required, and if he had been
authorized to fix the amount. But the
law did not so command him, and he had
nothing tn do with determining the amount
of Mr. Vaughn’s bond, as Sec. 021 of the
Code says the amount of the bond shall be
filled up by the Comptroller General before
being sent out" to the approving officers in
the said county. Instead of a bond in
double the amount of the State tux being
required, as slanderously charged by the
Ku-Kfcix organ, the Code in the same
section, specifically says Unit the Ijoud
shall be “equal to one-half of the amount
of the State tax supposed to be due from
the county for the year in which he shall
give bond.” The editor maliciously says
the bond shall be tor double the amount
the law says for one half. Which must the
Ordinary obey ? the law which he is sworn
to obey or the dictum of n meddlesome
nondescript ?
Again: This irresponsible slanderer
alleges that .Judge Levy accepted twice as
many sureties as are nlhflfcd by law. This
' is untrue. The law and the editor are at
variance under this head. The Code says
(see Section 141) that the approving officer
shall require at least “two good and solvent
sureties,” and not more than ten. The law
says ten: tho editor says five. Which should
the Ordinary obey ?
The writer likewise (Larges that the
sureties of the Receiver of Tax Returns are
not responsible. They swear to their worth,
and, to our certain knowledge, each one of
them owns teal estate, nn<J tire much more
responsible than the thing that- traduces
(them. If the tax books are not correct,
possibly it is not their fault. testi
. tied, not according to a tax ? digest, but
ackordiH to their own worth. Judge
Lttvv a strict compliance with the
law. The oath taken by the sureties was
preparer! by one of the most honorable
citizens of Augusta, and one of the most
eminent lawyers in the State. The amount
of the bond required of Vaughn five
thousand dollars greater than that required
of his predecessor, Mr. Suxhuon, whose
bond was approved by Justices Bishop,
Russell und Bothwell. What is sauce
for the goose should be sauce for the
gander.
We have little to say in defence of W.
11. Stallings, the County Treasurer. lie
is too well and favorably known to need
any vindication at our tmwE. The puny
shafts of calumny aimed at him by the
demon of discord in the office of the Ku-
Klux organ fall harmless at his feet. He
wears a coat of mail impervious to the
venemous darts which the slimy wretch
(possessing the will but not the power) can
not penetrate. It is enough for us to say
that his bond was pronounced good by
such gentlemen as John A. Boiileh and
Matthew Sherron, whose words should
be good with every gentleman in Rich
mond county.
The writer for the Ku-Klux organ in
dulges in the' most shameless charges '
against the Ordinary, Receiver of Tax Re- 1
turns. County Treasurer, and tbeir sureties.
That he does so on account of a desire to
protect the interests of the jieople is bold
faced hypocrisy. It is because his greedy
friends have not been able to retain the
offices. How much taxes does he pay I
It is a question for the gentlemen aud men
of means in that paper to determine how
far they will permit thia traducer to go in
attempting to blacken the private fluirac
ers of political opponent
GOV. BULLOCK MISREPRESENTED.
The Ku-Klux organ of Saturday, in his
column of expletives against the Governor
of the State and the Republican party of
Georgia, usee the following language i
Bullock -knows that tho success of the Radical
party in the pending canvass depends upon the
ability of their Southern adherents to stir up
strife between the races, and bring on a collis
ion of arms between the white and the black
men.
This is a monstrous perversion ui' the
truth. Governor Bullock desires peace.
He knows, and we know, and the scanda
lous author of the above extract knows*
that the Republican party ot Georgia has
everything to lose, and nothing to gain, by
a “aollision of arms between the white and
the black men.” The wicked and cow
ardly author of the above makes the charge
in order to incite the Democrats to
acts of violence, and to stimulate an
antagonistic feeling in the bosoms of
the whites against tlve blacks. It is in’
tended to goad the blacks into the com
mittal ol some rash act, so as to get an
excuse to have them butchered. And we
here declare, if any conflict should come,
and the lives of good men should be sacri'
ficed, and property should be destroyed,
the responsibility will rest on the Augusta
editor, who wickedly persists in inventing
and publishing such mendacious libels of
the supporters of General Grant in Geor
gia. We regard a conflict of races as a
satanie dream of depraved minds. In such
a conflict, we should, [of course, sustain our
own race. But we do not accept such mis
chievous incendiaries as the editor in ques
tion as the organ of the white or any other
race ; his kind are in no sense representative
men, except as the exponents ot all that is
evil in the eyes of pure-minded, law-abitflng
Citizens. We know that the colored man
has the right of the ballot, and he has the
undoubted right to peaceably go to the polls
on election day and east his ballot for the
candidate of his choice. We know, too, that
he is not fool enough to vote for the candi
date that would wrench from him bis civil
and political rights. We know, in addition,
that if any man or set of man, attempts to
drive him from the polls, and a conflict
should ensue, that such lawless conduct
would debar such characters from raising the
cry of a “conflict of races.” Neither white nor
black are licensed to commit any act of in
tinijdatioii. All caji vote, and they arc un
worthy of the name of freemen if they per
mit themselves to be driven from the polls
by organized murderers with white or
black skins. We know Georgia has a
majority for Grant of from 15 to 20,000
voters. The Democracy know this; but
■tots their intention to carry the State by
up difficulties with the poor, de
fenceless blacks and the unprotected white
Unionists. This accounts tor the menda
cious attack on Gov- Bullock and the
Republican party. Deliberate falsehoods
are heralded abroad as facts to justify the
mob violence that the Democrats have
already determined to indulge in.
CHARACTERISTI CALL F MEAN. *
The readers of the Republican will re
mefnber that the Washington agent of tfie
Associated Press, a few days since, tele
graphed all over the Country that General
Meade’s defence of his conduct in connec
tion with the trial of the persons accused
of complicity in the assassination of
George W. Ashburn, at Columbus, in
March last, had been published, and that
substantially established all the Ku-Klux
charges against the General. It now trans
pires that Gen. Meade has prepared, but
has not published, his vindication, and that
the treacherous inmate of the Presidential
Chair was guilty of the superlatively mean act
' of culling garbled quotations from the official
> written report placed in his hands, ns an act
t of official courtesy, and turning them over to
t a set ot unscrupulous Denioeratie news
s mongers, to enable them to blast the fame of
r one of the Republic’s noblest defenders,
t How many Democratic papers in Georgia
- will let this fact see the light? Notone.
I Their party lives on lies, and we suppose
General Meade need not expect to escape
- their malignant and slanderous persecution.
WHO WILL TAKE IT?
We have on deposit at this office Two
Hundred Dollars, which we are authorized
to bet on Grant’s election. Democrats,
if you think you have u sure thing, come
1 along and try to double your money. Put
up o.r shut up. Who takes the bet ?
—J.— . ..
If Ever, Now is the Time. —If ever
1 Congressional interference in the affairs of
1 Georgia, was justifiable, now is tlic time.
There is ten times more hatred of the flag,
except as the emblem of the rule of
Toombs, Cobb <fc Co., than there was in
1865 6, and a thousand times greater pro.
scription of Unioqi men. Frank Blair
and the Northern Copperhead Democracy
arc responsible for these deplorable facts.
Their wild threats and fruitless promises
have revived in the breasts of the old poli
ticians the ambitious und treasonable fires
ot 1861. These fires can easily lie put out,
by the people’s giving tin overwhelming
majority for Grant in November.
.
The Old Nnow-Nothing.—The old
Know-Nothing at the head of the Ku-Klux
organ makes the most groundless personal
assaults on Judge Samuel Levy. This is
simply the croppings out of his old animos
ity against foreigners. Does he luite the
Ordinary because he belongs to the Jewish
faith ? Or is it because he is a foreign
boru citizen ?
• *-
Settixu Their Houses is Okiucr.—
Now that the attempt to elect Seymour and
Blair is absolutely certain to result in dis
astrous defeat mauy of the most sensible
and discreet business men in Georgia are
setting their houses in order, by accepting
the inevitable with a good grace. Some of
them have assured us that, after all, they
would rather trust a great soldier like Grant,

AN EPISTLE,
From the God of Democracy (.Satan) to hits
favorite Son, Bobby.
Bobby, my son, most loved and best,
My most effective ranter,
1 learn, with grief and deep regret,
You’ve hid up in Atlanta—
Concocting plans with Cobb A Co.
How best to rulo or ruin,
Seducing Hade with whiskey punch,
With greenbacks*aud with chewing.
Now, 1 appreciate ywur zeal
Upon the tide of evil.
And give you tho most hearty thanks
Os your Papa, tbo Devil ;
But let me tell you, Bobuol,
Your zeal outruns discretion ;
I’m sure you’ll do naught else but harm
In your assumed positi-ju.
Don’t think, my Bob, I love the Rads,
Or care a damp for quiet;
I only wish to keep alive
Commotion, war, and riot.
But you, my Bob, aro not the man
To further even ruin ;
Think how all things went to smash,
You over stuck your toe in.
First on tho side of righteousness,
You started out a Whig man,
And turned then to. tho Democrats,
Who made you soon a big man.
• Know Nothing then you quick became,
Aud then for Union zealous;
Secession so you ranted for—
You made the Devil jealous.
Whig, Democrat, Know Nothing—think
How all these went to ruin ;
Secession, that infernal mess,
You'd such a band in browing.
You split with him you now declare
Such an outrageous knave is ;
That hero in tho devil’s cause —
My darling son, Jeff. Davis.
• » » » *
Then, Bobby, don’t mistake your forte,
You aro not good at scheming ;
In raising bell, your talent lies,
Blackguarding and blaspheming.
You know, my Bob, your friendship is
Most dangerous to your owu men ;
You always rout the side on which
You fight, and not tbo focmon.
Reunion, then, don’t try to break—
You’ll only make it stronger;
Don’t try to capsize Bullock, for
You’ll make his tenure longer.
Atlanta quit, go home, my Bob,
There, in your little villagb,
Continue, with your legal craft,
Yqur worshippers to pillage.
Oppress as much’s you can tho Had,
And persecute tho niggor ;
Do all my small jobs thoroughly,
But leave to others bigger.
Don’t make yourself too prominent,
And spare my modest blushos ;
(I blushed to see you throe years since
Skedadling through the bushes.)
That time, my son, may come again,
Your safety can’t be bet on ;
If Grant should gain the upper hand—
Your loving Daddy,
, Satan.

False Rumor.—There was a report on
the street yesterday that Blustering Bob
Toombs had committed suicide at Greens
boro. It was not that man but another
man. He will never render even that ser
vice to his country.
WORDS OF TRUTH AND SOBER
NESS—TO MODERATE SOUTH.
ERN MEN.
The following well-tempered article from
the Washington Chronicle addresses itself
to the understandings of the moderate
nieu qf the South. It presents the most
cogent reasons why every conservative
citizen should support Gen. Grant. There
being no possibility of the election of Sey
mour, is it not the part of wisdom for that
I class of citizens w’ho have higher interests
L to serve and , noble duties to perform than
} the participation in a miserable scramble
after office, to prepare themselves for an
I honorable acceptance of the situation, with
Gen. Grant as President? Those who
j imagine that this magnificent hero will lie
under the control of the advanced Radicals
, know little of tho great individuality and
self confidence of the man :
“It is historical that the conservative men
of the South —and such are to be fouud in
all the still insurrectionary States —who an
tagonized Jefferson Davis and John Slidell
aud Robert Toombs, and the other architects
of treason, did so upon the ground that their
counsels mast lead to civil war ; and what
was true eight yegrs ago is equally true to
day. There is nothing in General Grant's
pcqgramme, nor yet in the platform of bis
party, that does not deserve the support of
these citizens- Indeed, there is something
wonderful in the moderation of the Republi
cans, something marvellous in the magna
nimity of General Grant, considering alike
their provocations and their opportunities.
Let us admit that negro suffrage is repulsive
to the conservative sentiment of the South ;
is it so far repulsive that eight millions of
whites are willing .to confess themselves in
ferior to three millions of colored -men, or
does this prejudice arise simply from the fact
that the colored men may assist another class
of white men to power in that section ? Sure
ly, no rule has ever worked so disastrously to
any people as that qt the white rebels. And
are the true Union men of the South, the old
followers of Clay, the old enemies of Jeffer
son Davis, the men who voted for Harrison in
1840, Taylor in 1848, and Fillmore in 1856
are these men so enamored of the uullifiers
and secessionists, whom they have opposed
through long lives, as to prefer restoring.them
to power to a graceful aud honest submission
to General Grant ? But apart from the sub
stantial character of our candidate and the
generous pledges of the Republican party—
pledges committing themselves not only to
forgiveness of the misguided and reluctant
participants in the rebellion—pledges com
mitting them to all the great interests of peace
and prosperity—apart from all this is the
consideration that no sensible man now be-
liete-i it possible to defeat the Republican
candidate for President. There is scarcely-
an election district in the old free States
in which some such instance as that
named by the Springfield Republican can
not be pointed out. Why then resist the
resistless f Why attempt to avoid the inevi
table ? Was the bitter lesson of 1860 taught
in vain ? Are these sensible and Chris
tian men of the South ready again to
ennmit themselves to the fatal leadership!
There is net now a united South, as there
was eight years ago. At the best, the
present power of the original rebels is worse
than temporary —depending upon a most
unstable, because insurrectionary, public
opinion, and only maintained by a resort to
exetoscz incalculably afresfese- Haw uit
with the North ? Here the popular unity
is secured, not as it was in 1860, by an in
dignank<‘urpose to redeem the Government,
but by a solemn resolve to maintain it.
Eight yearn ago, all the interests of the
North wore jmperiled, trembling on the
brink of dissolution. To day those are
safe, and hundred* of influences, compara
tively indifferent before theeecession of the
Southern States, have been added to the
moral reasons which formally inspired and
prompted the North. These influences
reach into and combine all classes. Rich
and poor are now organized, almost solidi
fied, in support of Grant, because Grant is
covenanted to preserve what he saved. If
public opinion continues to advance in the
old free Stales as it has advanced in the last
three weeks, Horatio Seymour will not receive
a single electoral vote in the North or
ITest. Intelligent gentlemen, writing to us,
confidently predict the election of the Re
publican candidate in New Jersey, aud the
triumph of the Republican electoral ticket.
New York, tire boasted stronghold of the
Democracy, scarcely needed Horatio Sey
mour’s despairing cry, that his “friends had
plunged him into a sea of troubles," to show
that she was rocking to her foundations, and
would in all probability cast her vote for
Grant. Connecticut is given up by common
consent to the Great Soldier. Pendleton
abandoned his engagements in the West,
and rushes home to attempt to secure Ohio
for Seymour, in the face ol the absolute cer
tainty thauGrant will carry it by from thirty
to fifty thousand majority. These are facts
not depending upon mere assertion, but de
manding and defying investigation and
denial. How long will the moderate men of
the South continue to bow their necks to the
despotism of leaders who have never yet had
control of the politics of that section without
inflicting - irreparable damage upon their
people and involving their country in war?’’
ENTHUSIASM IN THE MOUNTAINS.
The Union whites of the mountains of
Georgia are thoroughly aroused, and work
ing only .as true mountaineers can work,
against restoring the old war politicians of
the - South to power. The Atlanta Era pub
lishes an extract from a letter written by
one of these noble sons, which reads as
follows:
“ I must tell you that General Wofford
came to Jasper, according to appointment,
and made an all day harrangue, as was to
be expected, applauded Ben. Jordan and all
the guerrilla chiefs and murderers, who
burnt houses aud murdered innocent men in
that section of the State during the war.
We had no speaker on our part, but the
‘boys’ (Republican white men), concluded
if they could not speak, they could otherwise
demonstrate, and accordingly prepared
themselves —all understanding the game.
Just as General Wofford was leaving the
stand, the ‘boys’ cried out, ‘three cheers for
Grant aud Colfax,’ and I suppose such
cheering and enthusiasm has never been
known in Jasper county. In the Court
House, on the streets at every corner, and all
over the town in every direction, and in
every store, the cry was heard, ‘Grant and
Colfax,’ not giving the rebels time to ask
what was the matter; but they very soon
showed them. Huffman, ihe Indiana carpet
bagger and ex-policemau, intended to speak,
but the demonstration prevented him, and
he and General Wofford concluded discretion
was the better part of valor, ami withdrew.
‘ Nobody hurt on our side.’ ”
—.. . i4i
Enthusiasm Among tub Ladies.—As
an evidence of the resistless spirit of enthu
siasm in the Great West for Grant aud
Colfax, we copy from an Indiana letter to
the New York Times, the following account
of the political action of the noble
women of Cambridge City, Indiana:
At Cambridge City, Indiana, between
Richmond and Idianapolis, last Friday
evening, the ladies of that village gave out
to their husbands, sons, fathers and brothers
that they had prepared a Republican pole,
nearly one hundred feet high, ornamented
with flag and stretfmer, and that an enter
tainment was offered the “ lords’’ of wit
nessing the erection of the pole. The affair
was entirely impromptu, yet its novelty, and
the display of courage by the fair ones,
brought out a thousand people. The ladies
raised the pole, refusing every offer of aid
from the “voters,” and everything connected
with the event was managed by them. Os
■course there was music, speaking, and a
good time generally. This was grit enough
for Mrs. Cady Stanton. I doubt if it com
mends itself to her, however, now that she
is for the same revolution that Blair is for.
