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 go to Ileoren uulrse he Antes Mr*. 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 people to vole for Seymour, because it would reduce the price of lands, while Grant’s. election would cause it to advance. Land holders, look out. <♦ > Christy Overslaughed.—The red-hot revolutionists in the Sixth District have overslaughed Colonel J. 11. Christy, who 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.” —— [From our own Correspondent. IK J SHING TON L E TTER. 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. Lightwood Log.
