wiping them, he replaced them and again
tried to read. Perceiving that all was still
dark, he dropped both paper and spectacles,
exclaiming, in a loud voice: “My God,

—Queen Isabella, of Spain, weighs 225
pounds. She has become very homely, and
when she appears in public with her two
eldest daughters, both of whom are very
handsome girls, the contrast is most striking.
The Queen’s husband is the very embodi
ment of stupidity ; he looks, in his gorgeous
uniform, like an idiot, wondering why they
have dressed hint up so nicely. He is
always head over ears in debt, and the
Queen herself is likewise mostly short of
funds. The better classes of Madrid society
look with profound contempt on the Royal
family. As a proof of the Queen’s unpopu
arity at the capital of Spain, it is said that
there is scarcely a girl in Madrid bearing
the name Isabella.

1 7GOROUS CAMPAI GN.
The Democrats arc conducting their
campaign with great vigor iu Southwestern
Georgia. Nelson Tift, it carpet-bagger,
who was no knap sacker, is their candidate
for Congress. Muskets, shot-guns and
pistols are the most effective arguments
used by his supporters. Whenever the
Republicans make an appointment to
address the people, the Democrats read
the Riot Act, and then shoot such as do not
disperse. By this kind of logic the Demo
crats expect to carry the State for Seymour
aiftl Blair. Whether the American Con
gress will see fit to count Electoral votes
cast in this manner remains to be seen.
THE LATE RIOT.
We publish, this morning, the manly
message of Governor Bullock, notifying
the Legislature of the lawless conduct of
the Democratic citizens ot Mitchell county,
at Camilla, on Saturday last. Our special
dispatches, received last night, announce
that both Houses refused to respond favor
ably by adopting a resolution requesting
the President of the United States to fur
nish a sufficient number of troops to main
tain peace and order. We suppose this
refusal of the Legislature docs not at all
surprise the Governor. It certainly will
not excuse him from seeing to it that, the
War Department at Washington is
promptly advised of all the particulars
connected wirlt this atrocious outrage on
the rights of Americans. He is the Gov
ernor of Georgia, and no amount of legis
lative whitewashing by the traitors and
nincompoops in the two Houses can ab
solve him from the performance of his
high duty in the premises. We arc proud
to believe that the Governor would not
hirk his duty, if he could.
We print what is termed ‘both sides of
the story.’ under our telegraph head, this
morning. We shall ignore, for the purposes
of this article, the Republican version of
the riot, and rely alone on the authorized
and sworn defence of the Ku-Klnx Demo
cracy as made and published by the Sheriff
and others. Boil the statement down, and
we have the admission that Pierce and
Murphy, only went to Camilla for the
purpose of making speeches in favor of
General Grant. This they had a right to
do. But some of the negroes were armed;
and the Sheriff claims that he would
graciously have permitted them to have
entered Camilla if they had surrendered
their arms to the Democrats. We have no
announcement that the Sheriff expected or
, desired the Democrats to surrender their
arms. On the contrary, we arc at liberty
to infer that he expected that party
to stand to their guns. The Sheriff
claims that he only discharged his
duty as the peace officer of the county.
If that were so, why did he permit JohnSj
who was insanely drunk, to fire a gun in
the crowd ? Under any and all circum
stances, that man should have been dis
armed. Yet the Sheriff permitted him to
commence the difficulty. Is Johns a speci
men of the Sheriff's 7
Again: If the Sheriff really believed
that Pierce and Murphy contcmpla
ted mischief, why did he not arrest
them ? He could have done this, and if
he could not, he would have had the credit
of trying. Evidently, the Ku-Klux pre
ferred a row, hoping, in the confusion, to
dispose of the white “criminals," as P. and
M. are considerately termed. Upon the
whole, taking the statements of the Demo
crats for the truth, which it evidently is
not, we cannot see any evidence of the
Republicans intending to violate law or
create a disturbance. It was simply a
political procession attending a mass meet
ing. More
Repudiated.—The Atlanta Constitution
repudiates and refuses to publish the ex
aggerated and grossly false account of the
Camilla riot telegraphed North, on Mon
day night, from Augusta, by the Agent of
the Associated Press. We pronounced the
whole statement ns maliciously false, in
the Republican yesterday. Mr. Walsh
should not permit bad men to fool him.
Savannah Republican for Sale.—This
old and well-established journal—its name
and good will, together with all the appur
tenances thereto belonging—is advertised to
be sold, by the Administrator of the late
proprietor, John E. Hayes, on the first
Tuesday in October proximo. The property
is very valuable, and would no doubt bring
a handsome price if the notice of sale
can be properly disseminated in so short a
period.
THE KVKLUX AT WORK.
We have information, the most direct
and positive, that the Ku-Klux Klan, in
Columbia and adjacent counties, nightly
prowl around the negro cabins, with their
horses and themselves in the most frightful
disguise, frightening and coercing the
blacks into joining the Democratic Clubs-
On Friday night last, these miscreants
visited the cabin ot a colored man, living
three miles from Wrightsboro, broke the
door in, and threatened the life of his
wife, to compel her to disclose the wherea
bouts of her husband. Their intended
victim, having received information of the
raid, escaped to the swamps. A few days
previous, a black man was caught and
whipped until he was glad to consent to
become a member of a Seymour and Blair
Club. All the blacks refusing to join, soon
become the victims of Ku Klttx vengeance.
The condition of Columbia county is not
exceptional. The same reports come from
nearly every county in Middle and South
western Georgia. To the eternal disgrace
of these bastard sons of chivalry, there is
no peace or safety for black or white, ex
cept in the poisonous walls of Democratic
club rooms.
It is useless to charge that these banished
negroes arc bad men, and have committed
some offence against the community. The
laws of Georgia provides, at least for the
Democrats, protection against those who
defy its authority. Officers are plentiful,
and their can be no necessity or justifica
tion for midnight murder, taking the law
into their own hands and executing its
vengeance on the innocent or the guilty.—
What is to be the result of all this terror
ism ? Granting that the negro is not a
good citizen now, will hunting him as an
out-law have a tendency to reform him?
Is their not great danger of his becoming
a confirmed outcast, making a desperate
and unrelenting war against fliat society
which refuses him protection ? Is it just,
wise or safe to continue this lawless means
of electioneering for any party ? Wb/'are
the voices of a people claiming to be Chris
tians hushed in silence at the recital of
these fiendish outrages ? lias humanity no
voice and religion no heart ?
Has conservatism become dumb'? Docs
.it stand in mute astonishment at the law
lessness which it has instigated ? Why are
the voices of Stephens, and Jenkins, and
Herschel V. Johnson, and Lociibane,
and Alexander, and Wofford, ami Dr.
W. 8. Jones, and other decent gentlemen,
identified with the Democratic party, not
raised to recall these madmen to their
duty ? Is it possible that they do not
comprehend the fact that Christianity'
shudders at the outlawry of the Demo
cratic party of Georgia, lashed, as it has
been, into blind fury by the diabolical
utterances of Cobb, Hill, Toombs. Wright
and other mutinous and unprincipled in
grates? The people of the United States
cannot, if they would, submit to a contin
uance of Ku-Klux domination. Therefore,
we appeal to the good men ot all parties
to raise their voices in behalf of law,
order, and the undisturbed right of the
people to the enjoyment of all privileges
guaranteed by the Constitution and laws.
PROOF OF REVOLUTIONARY
PURPOSES.
Brick Pomeroy’s New York Democrat,
may now be truthfully considered the rep
resentativc Democratic paper of the coun.
try. It represents all that is vital of revo
lutionary and reactionary Democracy.
Brick knows the sentiment? of his party
and the purposes of its candidates, and he
candidly proclaims them in the same manly
spirit with which those sentiments were
first uttered by Blair, Hampton & Co.
The New York World having intimated
that Blair recanted his Brodhead letter,
by accepting the Democratic nomination,
Pomeroy shies a brick at him, thus:
None but a recreant Republican could have,
written that sentence. None but a member of
the bread-and -butter brigade would stoop so
low and lie so basely, as die tho man who wrote
that lino.
The World knows, wo know, every member of
the Convention knows, that Frank Blair’s letter
secured to Frank Blair the nomination, and made
him the favorite with some even for the first po
sition on the ticket. Stand by,your guns, if you
have any, Mr. Worldly wise man, but whatever
else you do, don’t hope nor try to involve the
party that pays you in any cowardly desertion
of its principles or its loaders.
Frank Blair’s letter is a pi;rt of tho platform.
Thank God, ho is not a marble, that can wobble
backward and forward from platform to plat
form, like a sick rat for toasted cheese He wroto
that letter for two human reasons :
1. Ho know what ho meant, and wished the
public to know it, too.
2. lie desired a nomination, and deemed that
a good way to get it.
Ho was right, it seems, and no man can more
heartily despise the journal that insidiously
opens the door for a dishonorable retreat than
he. It takes a Soutlioruized Yankee, a renegade
Radical, a pap-seeking leech, to squirm and lie,
and make laces to suit tho emergency, but they
never deceive anybody, and, in time, rjeeC-tho
contempt they richly merit.
Barnum Outwitted.—Lt is now pretty
clearly ascertained that the notorious John
Allen, the “wickedest man in New York,”
has been playing a bold religious fraud on
the pious quid nuncs ot New York City.
Not only has he ran his slimy fingers ful]
length into the sanctimonious peepers of the
Christian sensationalists, but he has accom
plished what few before him have ever
attempted—outwitted the Prince of Hum
bugs, Barnum. This will entitle him not
alone to the character of being the “wicked
est man,” but will herald his name to fame
as the biggest humbug in New York. The
Sun is responsible for the statement llial
Barnum recently made a verbal agreement
with John to deliver a series of lectures
throughout the Northern cities, in which he
was to dwell upon the wickedness of his past
life, and detail the particulars of his recent
conversion, and also exhibiting young hope
ful, Chester, us a specimen of precocious
Young America. John, being illiterate)
Barnum prepared a charming and highly
sensational lecture, which the Wickedest, in
due time, committed to memory. After he
had become master of his lecture, the Wick,
edest humbugs the humbug, by declaring
that he can run his own machine, and that
he will lecture' on a stated occasion in
Bridgeport, Connecticut (Barnum’s home),
where Mr. (Barnum may bo nnnibered
among the audience by paying fifty cents at
he door. Verily, this is an age of rascality.
MASONRY.
At a Masonic Banquet, given in hono'r of .
the inauguration of a new Masonic Tcaiplo,
iu St. Louis, Missouri, on the 15th instant,
Albert Pike,-Grand Commander of the Su-
* 1
preme Council, being called upon, came (
forward and saidi * 1
When she whom we loved ; when she
whom wo loved in our youth, placed her lit
tle hand in ours, and at the altar, in the <
presence of the minister of God, pledged her ■
faith to us, that she would “love, honor and ,
obey” us all our life, she became our corn
famou through the stormy ways of life.
Applause.] When out in the great desert,
through which now the steam-horse is carry
ing the blessings of civilization to tho ex
treme West, thirty odd years ago, when I
clasped hands with a bosom friend on that
prairie, when my life was in his hand, and
his life in my hand, and we were there to
gether, hand in hand, and heart to heart,
depending on one another, almost alone in
the world, he was my companion, as Masons
should be companions t? one another in the
dark days of trouble.
* * * » * «
He said we come here to-night, and were
not coldly received, as some of us feared,
perhaps, that we might be; but when in
every Northern face we meet a smile of glad
welcome and rejoicing as we once more clasp
hands together; shame on the man who can
carry away from this assemblage one single
unholy feeling that should not belong to a
pure Masonic heart. [Applause.] God
pity the man who will not here lay on the
altar of Masonry every feeling of rivalry,
every feeling of ambition, every feeling of
ill-will in his heart toward, his brother Ma
son ; no matter what rite yon believe, at
what altar of Free. Masonry you worship,
Free Masonry is one faith, one great religion,
one great common altar, around which all
men of nil tongues and all languages can
assemble ; in which there can be no rivalry,
except a noble emulation of rites, orders
and degrees, which can best work and best
agree. [Applause.)
My brethren, how can I return you my
thanks ? Shall I return them in my own
name, because you have so highly honored
me as to call upon me again and again to
address you ? No. I know tho compliment
was not paid to me alone. I know it was
but an expression of the Masonic love and
regard and affection that you of tho North
ern States feel toward the brethren who
you think erred in the last late civil war,
but toward whom you maintained through
that war those feelings of charity, Masonic
kindness,-love and affection tlyit become
Masons to entertain toward one another in
the convulsions of civil war. Shall I thank
you in the name of my State ? Shall I thank
you in the name of Tennessee ? Shall I
thank you in the name of the whole South ?
No thanks that the South could return to
you, if the South had authorized me to speak
on behalf of tho whole body of Masons in
tho South, with my single tongue, could
adequately express the thanks you deserve
for the kindness you have shown on this
occasion. . I return ycu the thanks of uni
versal humanity. I return to you, and this
nation ought to return to you, thanks for
teaching them the great - lesson, that breth
ren of a common country, with the same
blood flowing in their veins, may fight a
desperate and bloody war for years ; may
expose their lives breast to breast, in sup
porting that which they believed to be right
—a portion supporting the rights of States
as they understood them, and the other por
tion supporting the glorious old flag—the
stars and stripes [applause] ; that through
it all, thank God, Masonry has furnished an
example of charity and toleration, that shall
teach the men of the South to respect the
men of the North for fighting for what they
believed to be right, and shall also teach
the men of the North to respect the men of
the South for fighting for what they be
lieved to bo right in regard to their State.
[Applause.]
At any rate, whether they have that
charity or not—whether they believe they
were honest or not —they shall at least, have
charity to forgiye their brother, though he
offend against them ninety and nine times.
[Applause. | I thank God, my brethren,
that tho news of this great assemblage will
go over the whole world; that it will not, as
it ought, be confined here in our own coun
try, but that the cry shall go over tho whole
world to the honor of Masonry, that after a
long and bloody and devastating civil war—
when having come away fresh from our
ruined homes and impoverished communi-,
ties among a people who were triumphant
over us, we have come here and trusted to
yonr magnanimity, because it is the loser
that can afford to be magnanimous, more
than the winner. [Applause.) And that,
we have been met with open arms, with no
, coldness or reservation, as Masons ought to
meet, and' if there was a latent, lurking,
hidden ill-feeling, in tho bosoms of any of
us, that right here, now, wo should all take
the oath, and I propose to you to take it
that wo swear that we will bury all feelings
hereunder the altar of Masonry; that we
here sacrifice upon the altar of Masonry all
feelings of ill-will, jealousy, and rivalry, and
ambition, within Masonry and without [ap
pl use) ; and, moreover, that we will here
after, by our lives, conversations or teach
ings, make Masonry a great power in this
world ; that we will show mankind that wc
have-intellect, learning, power and might to
make Masonry a great powersjor tho benefit
of the human race; and Masonry will never
be true to her mission till wc all join hands—
heart to heart and hand to hand—around the
altar of Masonry, with a determination that
Mnaonry shall become, at some time, worthy
of her pretensions; no longer a pretender
to that which is good, but that she shall be
au apostle of peace, good will, and charity,
and toleration. [Applause.]
Take it if you Dake.—Wc are author
ize d to bet SSOO, in sums of SIOO or up
wards, that General Grant will be elected
in November Back your judgment gentle
men. Wc mean business.
That Little S2OO. —We still have that
little S2OO to bet on Grant. No takers.
