TO THE MALIGNERS OF GOV.
BULLOCK.
We would address you as gcntlcmeu, if
we could. But we eaunot. Your conduct
has placed you outside the pale of that
general rule of common courtesy which is
due respectable political antagonists. You
don’t belong to that class. Never having
recognized the rights or feelings of others,
or tolerated an honest difference in private
judgment, wc have the right to treat you
as political outlaws. You nave never
exercised tlie least charity toward Rjjrvs
B. Bci.lock. Charity, forsooth! You
never have treated his name with common
civility, or his acts with justice. From
the moment of hifc nomination as the
Republican and Reconstruction candidate
you have been throwing the dirtiest kind
of dirt, ami tlie filtlitest Vind of filth, at
him.
The basest creature in the laud is ad.
judged innocent until he is prov.xl guilty.
But you condemned him in advance. Ton
did not so in the language of decency and
soberness. No, you lied upon him. inde
cently and wickedly. You have manifested
great patience in the manufacture of false
hoods against his conduct and character.
Your latest and basest achievements in the
line of billingsgate abuse and uncousciona
bie lying is in reference to the
late Proclamation forbidding the organiza
tion of military companies and drilling in
mititurj' tactics, and In relation to his
message to the Legislature, in which he
lioldly and truthfully charges the responsi
bility of the Camilla outrage on the Ku-
Klux citizens of Mitchell county. You
falsely charge the action of the Republi

meeting at Camilla, as-, a violation of the
Governors Proclamation.

Neither was it in violation of the Legisla
five resolutions, requesting its issuance.
We have not heard an intimation from
any of your infamous clan that the Repub
licans had made any “ military organiza
tion” or Afttemplated drilling in “ military
So long as they did neither of
these things, there was no disregard of the
requirements of Governor Bullock’s
Proclamation. Y<. Ur complaint that some I
of the Republicans were armed was none
of the Governor's business, none of the
Legislature's business, none of the busi
ness of the Camilla Deniocrate,
and none of your business. The right
to peaceably assemble, and to
bear arms is derived from the Constitution
of the United States and of the State, and
no Governor, Legislature, Sheriff or mob
has any right to interfere with the free ex
ercise of that right.
The Governor states but a notoriously
]>alpable truth when he says of the Camilla
riot that “it is tlie result of a deteiniina
tion frequently and publicly expressed 4>y
irresponsible persons of one political party
that the other political party ought not,ami
shall not, hold political meetings.” The
only mistake His Excellency falls into is,
that those w ho thus threaten are “irrespons
ible persons.” You are some of the "per
sons ’ I and you are, before God ami man,
responsible for the existence of this pro
scriptive and murderous feeling non fill

is of your doings. You have charged the
hearts of men, and women, and little chil
dren witli an unreasonable and unrelenting
hatred of everything, and everybody, that
refuses to stag hosannahs to the rebel De
mocracy. In imitation of the serpent of

zens of your own party, until they scarcely
dare say their souls are their own.—
You have stifled every sentiment of
charity in the hearts of those over
whom you exercise any influence. You
encourage mob law, violence, intimidation
and assassination. You profess to be fur
peace, but it is only the pcacc of the grave
upon the inexorable condition of an abso
lute surrender of every private right. You
say you recognize the abolition of slavery,
yet you would not only enslave the body,
but you would enslave the minds and in
tellects of men. You accuse men of lying,
while the truth is not in you. You hate
the Government that has magnanimously
spared your infamous lives for your devil
ish treason in the past, and are now plot
ting for its overthrow and destruction.
You abuse Ritclb B. Bvuxk k. You arc a
set of pismires that he can place under

private character '< Nothing. Your whole
stock in trade consists in falsehoods ami
slander. You are enemies of your country,
of your State, and of society. You
are a set of doomed wretches that, after
November, will receive the considerate at

Wc have more to say to you hereafter.
A SPECIMEN OF DEMOCRA TIC .
FINANCIERING.
Tito Democrats complain of tlie extrav
agance of the Republican party. We have
had specimens of Democratic economy.—
"Hutd" Coub, of Georgia, was Secretary of
the Treasury under Buchanan, and in that
capacity furnished «. conspicuous example
of the honesty and economy of life party.
In a time of. profound peace, when the
’ business of the country was enjoying un
paralleled prosperity, this representative
Democrat took the money oittof the Treas-
ury, and purchased with it, from his
party friends, the bonds of the United
States, which did not tali due for twenty
years, at twenty per cent, above their par
value—the same as giving a premium on
his own note not yet due. This wicked
fraud emptied the Treasury, and furnished
Cobb with uu excuse for going to New
York, producing a sort of panic as to the
solvency of his country, and borrowing
from Democrats several milliofts of dollars
at the usurious rate of twelve percent, per
annum. In plain terms he took money out
of the Treasury to pay a debt of the Gov
ernment, wliich.it did not then wye, at an
outrageously fictitious value, and then gave
his friends the benefit of swindling tire
Government by charging twelve per cent,
for money which be would nOthaye needed
but for his dishonest sjieculation.
This was in the piping times of peace.
When the War came, a Republican took
charge of a Treasury bankrupted by this
man Cobb, and borrowed nvmey sufficient
to subsist and pay an army, and pay
"ll'jirTt" dishonest 12 per cent, loans, at
six per cent, per annum, or just one half
what his predecessor, in peaceful timefc con
tracted to pay. These facts need no com
ment. They should open the eyes of nil
classes to the danger of restoring such men
as Cobb to power. The Democratic lead,
ers have no interest in the preservation of
the honor of the nation, because they re
gard it us their conqueror and enemy.
AUOUSI.4 MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Our special dispatches this morning
contain the announcement that the Senate,
by the requisite majority, has passed the
Augusta Municipal Bill over the veto of
the Governor. The election will be held
on the first Wednesday in December next.
The Republicans did not object to an
election. They didjobject, however, to this
particular bill, because of its unconstitu
tionality. Bnt ourparty is uvt responsible
for this. . We are glad we arc to have an
election. We believe we can defeat our
opponents. If they receive a majority, they
I are entitled to the offices. If we have the
majority we arc certain to retain them.
The election being ordered, there is no
longer any reason for delay iu the payment
of taxes.
Tns Ku-Klux Dei-lokxs the Action of
Thu Camilla conduct of
the Camilla Democrats must have been out
rayCous iu tbe extreme, when the Ku-Klux
organ here is constrained to admit that,
“we, in common with the great mass of the
conservative citizens oi the State and of the
whole country, greatly deplore the conse
quences of their action.” Let Republicans
stick a pin here. It was the “consequences’’
of the "action” of the Democrats which the
editor “deplores.” For once be is Iliyht
otherwise than in name.
Wno Owns the Fuscos and Farms?—
Thu Ku-Klux editor savs that Gov. Brt.-
lock desires to sec the blacks perish “sn
order that the broad fields audsmiliug farms
of the South may fall intq the hands of the
hordes of his carpet-bag friends.” This is
tbe first intimation we have bad that the
blacks are the owners of the “ broad fields
and smiling farms of the South.*’

A large number of Cdegrassiqaa reached
the Capital last evening, and it is confi
dently expeeted there will he a quorum
present in both houses to-morrow noon. Only
two members of the House from Georgia
have yet. arrived —Messrs. Tifraud Prince-
Among other celebrities now here is Mr.
Alexander Stephens, whose mission is to
obtain copies of Confederate records in
possession of the Government, to enable
him to complete his history of the Southern
Confederacy; the Secretary of War allowed
him to have copies mtide of the documents
required. Mr. Stephens, yesterday, had a
long interview with the President, and also
paid his respects to Secretaries Seward and
McCulloch during the day.
Gen. Kilpatrick having completed his
business at the State Department, left, yes
terday, to take an active part in the cam
paign. He will first fill engagements in
New Jersey and then go to Ohio and In
diana, and in October will speak at several
points in Pennsylvania,
All the Blairs are now here, and when
the three get together they aro always plot
ing mischief; what they have on the tapis
now has not yet been developed. President
Johnson’s opinion of the Blairs is illustrated
by the .following story ;
When Mr. Seward first broached the sub
ject of the purchase of Alaska at a Cabinet
meeting, the President was opposed to the
measure, and. asked what use could be made
of it. Mr. Seward, said in reply, “it would
be a good place to send the Blairs.” “Only
seven millions to get rid of the Blairs 1 buy
it then by till means,” responded Mr. John
son.
Mr. Lincoln was still mere laconic with
one of this family. In a note to Mont
gomery, while Postmaster-General, Mr. Lin
coln said : “You were pleased to indicate to
ine that, whenever it was for the public good,
your place was at my disposal. That time
has arrived.” Montgomery, in an unguarded
moment, placed his resignation at the dis
posal of Mr. Lincoln, never'for a moment
supposing it would be accepted. The Blairs
never forgave Mr. Lincoln for the way in
which the resignation was accepted. The
truth of the matter was, one of the family,
at least, sympathized too much with the
enemy. After Montgomery had retired from
the Cabinet, the rebels found it difficult to
ascertain what transpired at Cabinet meet
ings.
A gentleman from your State was induced
to play at the game known as “Three-card
Monte,” a few days since, on one of the
Potomac river boats, and lost every dollar
he had with him and a gold watch. It is
strange that any sane man can be tempted
to risk anything on a game where there is
not one chance iu a thousand of winning,
unless the dealer is dieposed that way. For
some inexplicable reason, these sharpers are
tolerated on nearly all the tteaniboats. They
fiard in parties of three each. Oue is a
brash, feckless gambler ; he deals the cards.
The second is a nice young man, very ver
dant, who bets all the money he has, wins,
and then is required by the dealer to double
the money; he has not money enough, and
induces some one to go in with him. He

■ rally a clerical looking gentleman, who never
f bets —4f he did, he tolls those around him,
p how easy it would bo for him to win all the
denier's money, and proves his assertion by
picking out the winning card several times.
These rascals generally get on the boats at
Alexandria in the morning, and return with
the through Southern passengers, in the eve
-1 nliig, from Aquia Creek.
, The death of John E. Hayes, of the Sa
f vanuuh Republican, took his acquaintances
. here entirely by surprise. A gentleman who
arrived here last night from Savannah, says
that he undoubtedly committed suicide by
taking laudanum—too cjruse being the fore
closure of a mortgage upon his establish

blatant Even, this’course did nut save
’ bitn’from financial ruin, and.the alternative
was presented to him either to face his
■ Norther'll friends, whose confidence he had
, betrayed, or shuttle of the mortal'coil. It
seems he took the latter course. I knew
Mr. Hajes well during the war, as an indus
' trious jouriiulist, and a inoffensive
: gentleman. Although publicly advocating
the rebel cause, his pretended friends were
( doubtless the indirect cause of his commit
ting the rash act.
I Official iuforiuslitm has been received iu
this city that (he rebels of South Carolina
have recently come . into possession ot one
hundred thousand stand of arms. These
I' arms can not be required for any legitimate
purpose, aud the authorities. of that State
will donhtiesa- take seasonable action to
guard against their improper usa.
, The agents of a company of six hundred
. Armenian Christians are now seeking lands
in Virsinia, tlpon which tb locate. These
foreigners belong ta the progressive school,
and will eventually become good Republi
cans, and Surprise .is expressed that the
auents are so cordially received. Yoqr real
Virginian whs always short-sighted, but their
-hatred for Yankees and the negro prompts
them, doubtless, to make friends with any
other people. *
The political horizon is brighter to-day
than at any lime since the commencement
of the eamptign. Rcpresentatires are here
fnoin the different States speak witirone
accord of the Cucouraging prospects at Grant
and Colfax. The Republicans are more

“ OU ME 'LIKE SHADOWS—SO

Lexington, Ga., Sept, 21, 1868.
Dear tfeyulßimi
The announcement in your oolumng of
yesterday ot the sudden death of my bid
confrere, Ells, uirikes upon the car like the
sad knoll of the distant ebnrch bell, as the
funeral cortege proceeds to man’s last rest
ing place. A few days past aud gone and
wo met together in the sanctum, where for
many days previously it was our lot to meet,
with life beaming in his eye, and the old
smile upon his lips, and with comparative
youth yet his own. Who then could have
thought that pow, as the pen traces these
linos, the silence of death and the grave
rests upon his features, and “ the place that
knew him once shall know him no mure
forever.’’ Very pleasant were the days of
our association, and sad are the thoughts
i which crowd the mind at the contemplation
that uo more on earth can or will we meet
1 again. But in the great hereafter -may be
resumed the pleasant intercourse that in
time has been so suddenly severed, where
there shall be no mure parting like this-
How true it is—We “ come like shadows
1 and so depart.”
Yours truly, R.
