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, than any mere politician, be he Democrat or Radical. They are right. Gen.

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.

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. SPECIAL NOTICES- Orricß Ass’r Sip't Georgia Railroad, 1 Augusta, Sept. 14th, 1868.
