VIOLENCE IN WARRENTON.
We have been shown a .letter,
written at Warrenton on the 29tb,
relative to the course of the Ku-
Klux Democracy at the Republican mass
meeting, which was held, or attempted
to be held there on the 28th. From
this letter we learn that the large crowd
of loyal voters were denied the customary
privilege of using the Court House square
for tlx purpose of holding their meeting.
They then repaired to the colored church,
where one or two speeches were heard.
By this time, however, the Klan com
menced gathering, with guns, pistols, etc.,
witli the evident determination of dupli
cating Camilla.
As the Republicans were unarmed, and
as they did not aspire to the honors of
martyrdom, they promptly dispersed.
This is another great Democratic triumph,
which we commend to the whining author
of the Democratic address.
We very much regret and deplore this
violent spirit. We cannot believe that it
meets the approval .of the discreet and
sensible masses of the Democracy of War
ren county. Perhaps the young, the
thoughtless, the reckless, and the intoxi
cated alone were guilty. But such pro
ceedings should be discountenanced by
good men of all pas-ties. In no possible
contingency can they benefit the Democratic
party, or for any permanent period injure
the Republican party. It is idle to hope
for the election of Seymour, and the reali
zation of the insane dreams of the disciples
of Cobb, Toombs & Co. Everybody now
is convinced that Gen. Grant will be the
next President. Whether this inevitable
circumstance is Acceptable to our people or
not, it cannot Ire helped. Then, why not'
accept the situation in advance, as has
Judge Cabikms in his lamb-like address ?
If the people prefer Seymour to Grant,
why, let them so vote; but we appeal to
them, for their own sakes, not to interfere
with any black or white man that may
support Gen. Grant. Listen not to the
ravings of youthful madmen, nor to the
passionate appeals of demagogues. Neither
1 of these are the children of wisdom, and
they will cause you to desert her paths.
TEACHERS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
“ To provide for thepayment of teachers
for 1868 of common schools. Laid on the
table for the present.”
The foregoing paragraph we find in the
published proceedings of our State Senate
of 29th ult. The bill referred to is one
of the greatest importance to our public
school interests, and should be acted upon
favorably and immediately. The leading
proposition ‘of the bill is to authorize
Ordinaries to issue to teachers certificates
of indebtedness-for the amounts due them,
Under the operations of the laws now of
force, payment to teachers is not made
until the expiration of the scholastic year.
Just at this time, teachers, like all of us
♦
are in a “straight betwixt two.” They
have labored hard, perseveringly ami
effectually. They arc moneyless. The
passage of the aforesaid bill will secure
and relive them, to a certain extent. They
may be able to negotiate their certificates
of indebtedness, obtain the necessaries ot
life, and continue at their post.
We trust the bill will pass.
AN APOSTLE OF HATE.
To manufacture political capital at the
North, and counteract the effect of their
own unchristian and warlike teachings.
Judge Cabiniss has issued an Address,
every line of which is the most hypocriti
cal special pleading. Bex. Hill is the
true Apostle of Hate x and expresses the
actual feelings of the more active friends
of the Seymour ticket. Here is what Ben.
says:
These men are false to their own wo. They
will deceive and demoralize your society. They
are false to all. But there is one remark I wish
the people to ponder well, f hate ‘hem. It is a
Chri.tian duty to hate them. .Vo ■» will ever

MORE OF BLUSTERING BOB'S
THREAIS.
borne years since, Blustering Bob Toom ns
boasted that he would call the roll of his
slaves at Bunker Hill. He has not done
so; but, judging from a late speech of bis
at Waynesboro, Burke county, in this State,
he has not entirely abandoned the idea. In
his Burke speech, he reminded the colored
people that he had -whipped them in the
past, and expected to whip them in the future.
One old darkie expressed a doubt, when
Toombs sigifificantly answered 'him:
What Is to prevent my doing so, when the
Democrats have regulated matters to their
own notion? Who denies that Toombs
made this assertion ?
Nullification in Kentucky.—The rebel
Governor of Kentucky proclaims that he
will not recognize lire Fourteenth Article ol
the Constitution of the Utlitod States. This
is nullification ; but it is no more so than
was the repeated action of the Georgia Leg
islature. Governor Stevenson boasts of his
treason. The more insidious and cunning
members of our so-called Legislature simply
go to work and nullify the Cons titution they
have sworn to support, without making a
blowing-horn of the matter. There are over
forty Senators and Representatives in the
General Assembly who are there in open
defiance of tire Fourteenth Article. Will
Judge Cabiniss deny this?

Landowners, Attention I—Tire Demo
cratic organ, yesterday, urged the colored

Christy Overslaughed.—The red-hot
revolutionists in the Sixth District have

was a candidate for the nomination for re
election to Congress. Wish Boyd, of Dah
lonega, was nominated. Mr. Christy was
entirely 100 conservative tosatisfy the Blair'
Democracy.
“Vell, vot of it?”—Jim Seward says he
is not for Grant. The Democrats say it makes
little difference what side he is on. By the
way, where did the Atlanta correspondent
of the Kn-Klux organ obtain his informa
tion that Seward had written a Grant
letter? It is hard to tell what Jim is, there
is such a difference “between Philip drunk
and Philip sober.”

The Alabama Delegation —The Object in View —
A fairs at the South, as Seen by Gen. Howard —
The Camilla Massacre —Our Claims Against
England—Hets a Begging—Black Crook—A
Venerable Miss.
Washington, September 27. 1868.
The Alabama delegation, composed of
Gov. Smith, Hons. Thomas D. Eister, Chas.
Hayes, E. L. Jennings, J. J. Hinds, and C.
F. Thweatt, arrived here Friday night last,
and took rooms at the Seaton House. Ac
cident ally,** Ihe resolution adopted by the
Alabama Legislature was left behind, and
Consequently they have had no audience
with the President, but will have one as
soon as the document arrives—probably to
morrow or the next day. As the errand of
this delegation has been very generally mis
represented here, tho same may bo the
case in your section, hence a semi-official
statement of the object of their visit, to
prevent misrepresentation, may not bo out
of place at this time. The delegation is not
here to solicit the aid of United States
troops for any immediate exigency, but to
obtain the assurance of the President that
troops will be furnished in case a necessity
should arrive. The force now in the State
—-ten companies—is deemed sufficient far
all present purposes, but in the opinion of
th* leading men of tho State, the moral
effect of a promise to furnish more troops,
whereon the State authorities deem it neces
sary to call for them, will be sufficient in
itself to preserve order.
Major-General Howard, who has just re
turned from a tour through the Southern
States, has furnished the Government with
much valuable information as to the condi
tion of affairs South of the Potomac. In his
opinion, a large number of the people are
to-day as antagonistic to the Government as
they were in 1861, and a favorable oppor
tunity is only wanted for them .to use just
whatever means may be necessary to over
throw the work of reconstruction, and the
Government, itself, it possible. The disaf
fected look forward to the election of Sey
mour and Blair as the favorable opportunitv,
and the conclusion at which he arrives is,
that peace alone can be preserved by casting
an overwhelming vote for Grant and Colfax
in the Northern States. This is a fact to
which a large class of Democrats begin to
be keenly alive, and not a day passes but
we hear of life-long Democrats—and some
who opposed tho war—declaring for the
Republican candidates. Even the New York
Freeman's Journal, one of the most vicious
copperhead sheets, says, in its last issue, after
declaring “affairs remarkably mixed up,”
that “our correspondence is of a character
to excite alarm. There is no use of dis
guising the fact that there is distrust and
disaffection among very many Democrats.”
There is a reason for all this, aside from the
revolutionary platform adopted at the New
York Convention, and it is this : Scarcely
a Southern paper can be taken up, Re
publican or Democrat, but what contains
something to startle the Northern mind.
To a man raised in the tree States, the right
of free speech and free action are as dear
to him as any other inherent right; and
w hen they see the people who wore so re
cently in arms against the Government, by
their act and words, denying these rights
because'a man prefers Grant to Seymour
for President, they begin to think that such
people have had quite rope enough, and
need a strong Government—such as only
can be given by the party dominant during
the war. While Democratic papers at the
North attempt to gloss over these facts,
their thinking readers sec the case as it
stands. The Camilla massacre was only an
outcropping of this apprehension. Hie
first dispatch received here of this outrage,
was to tho effect that a large body ot armed
Republicans had marched into a town to
kill all the Seymour and Blair Democrats,
when the whites sprang to their arms,
killing or wounding fifty or more of the
Republicans, while only five of the party
assailed received any injury. The news
gatherer who forwarded that dispatch must
have been a fool to think that any one
could be imposed upon by such a state
ment. Every man interpreted the facts to
be that the citizens of Camilla had pre
vented the Republicans of the vicinity from
holding a public meeting by force ol amis.
Nothing more—nothing less. The rebel
agents of tlio Associated Press South
should know by this time that their lying
dispatches deceive no one. Tho Northern
people have their wits sharpened, and
they can discover a rebel lie as easy as a
detective can a thief. They are all after
tho same pattern.
The witness McHenry, who testified in tho
Intcrnal*Revenue fraud investigation, that
he saw Mr. Loeb a distiller, in his room at
Willard’s, make up a roll of-bills of the de
nomination of $509 each, by watching him
through a half open door, and then follow
ing him into the rtreet until he saw the
same roll delivered to Mr. Rollins, Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue, is likely to come
to grief. His testimony is false. Setting
aside tire physical impossibilities in the
case his testimony in regard to the locality
of Loeb’s room shows conclusively that he
never was the “Paul Pry” he would have
people believe. The truth of the matter is
ire is doing tho dirty work for Binckley, and
Binckley is doing tire dirty for An
drew Johnson. The object 'is to get rid of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, who,
being an honest man, is a stumbling block
in the way of the men who would use the
office to aid Seymour and Blair. Tho com
bination will fail in their object.
I hate pretty good authority for saying
that there is not one word of truth in the
statement —currently made—that our min
ister at the Court of St. James has a carte
blanche to settle the Alabama affair. Ho
is simply authorized to rcOpen and discuss
the heretofore closed by Mr.
Seward, and report any propositions for an
adjustment of all outstanding difficulties
the English Government have to offer.
If any of your Seymour friends have
money to ’ risk on their candidates, George
Wilkes is still in the field awaiting a taker
for his proffered bets. His last proposition
is more favorable than ever. Jt is to name
thirty-three States, aud bet $ 1,000 on each
in favor of Grant against Seymour; then he
is willing to bet $20,000 that he will win
tho wager. There is no humbug about this
offer.
One night during the last week a man—a
Democrat nt that —visited nil of the first
class hotels in Washington with thirty one
thousand dollar bills in his hand, trying to
get some one to bet on Seymour, but found
no takers. Not to be too particular, he of
fered to bet as low as SSO. But Mr. Sey
mour’s betting friends could not be found.
To-day a man who would bet on Seymour’s
election would be considered a fool in these
parts.
We have had a successful Black Crook
season of three weeks at the National The
atre, and half of the young men about town
have had their heads turned at the develop
ment there displayed. It is a curious fact,
illustrating stage deception, that the lady of
the company who had the most admirers,
and hence the most boquets, rings, etc.,
thrown at her is rising fifty. But their
paint, powder, false calves, false hair, etc.,
are very deceptive.
To-morrow the Ritchings (American)
Opera Troupe commences a season.
John IL Surratt, one of the Lincoln as
sassins, has gone out of Court a free man.
His escape from the halter was truly mar
vellous. Os his complicity in the assassina
tion conspiracy no one doubts; but no
Washington jury could be got together to
convict any one for the murder of a Repub
lican President. Wilkes Booth acted like a
fool—he should have surrendered and been
tried and acquitted by a Washington jury,
lie would then have been the biggest star
on the stage, Surratt escaped trialdbr con
spiracy under the operation of an old law,
which requires an indictment to be found
within two years after the alleged commis
sion of the offence. He goes out among the
people a free man, but with the mark of
Cain upon hi nr- Capital.
Correspondence of tho Augusta Republican.
COL. AKERMAN IN THE FIELD
Letter From “ Lightwood Log.''
Hart County, Sept. 23, 1868.
Mu. Editor. The cause of peace and
union is nourishing here. Yesterday we
had a fine speech in Hartwell, from Col.
Akerman, of Elbert, one of the Grant
electors, who was here .attending our Su
perior Court. The Democrats tried hard
to keep the people from hearing him, but
large numbers determined they would hear
him in spite of their efforts. He presented
the political situation very clearly, and
showed that the success of Grant would
bring peace and quiet, and the success of
Seymour would bring strife and contusion.
He showed that the Republican party is the
party of progress, and of improvement,
while the Democratic party embodied vio
lent and vindictive passions, raid Fs led by
furious men who are enraged at the loss
of offices which they have formerly
much abused, to the ruin of the
country. He spoke of the Air-Line Rail
road, in which this section is greatly inter
ested, and showed that if the Democrats
succeed in destroying our State Government
the aid wbicb has been voted to this impor
tant enterprise will be lost. He defended
the reconstruction measures of Congress,
and showed that they tire better founded in
the Constitution than the measures of An
drew Johnson, who was the first choice of
the Georgia Democrats for President. He
referred to the big talk of the Democratic
leaders, and reminded his hearers that the
I same men talked much bigger in the first
days of secession- Their big promises then
came to naught, but they have the impu
dence to go on blustering still. The people
had trusted them once, but had been disap
pointed, and should follow them no longer
unless they take a reformed line of policy.
The country does not exist tor the sole ben
efit of a few pampered men. It is time
that the interests of the great laboring
masses were regarded, and the masses want
order and peace. He said that some Demo
crats were trying to put oft” a Congressional
election till next year, so as to have an
excuse for agitating the country then. These
selfish leaders mean to disturb the country
as long as they are out of office. They had
been tried in office once, and had plunged
the country in misery, and they ought to
have remorse enough to keep themselves in
obscurity until tliey repent.
These are some few of the points that the
speaker discussed, and made a deep impres
sion on his hearers.
The Democrats here .are hardened in
prejudice, but some of them arc not beyond
the reach of reason.
Our venerable friend, Judge Andrews,
presides well in our Superior Court. The
new Solicitor-General, Mr. Matthews, is
attentive and vigilant in pursuit of criminals,
and hence is unpopular among Democrats.
