CQ. OPERA TIVK STORES,
Mr. Editor—The hard times have driven
men to the adoption of various expedients,
by which, perchance, to lighten their bur
dens. We find them organizing nil kinds of
Unions and Associations, having for their
object the protection and general welfare of
the membership.
Tell me, don't you think a wisely-man
aged Cooperative Store would be of very
decided advantage to workingmen—men
who depend, for living, upon their salaries ?
Would not a CoOperative Grocery or Va
riety Store—where the necessities of life
could be purchased at reasonable figures by
all, and advantageously by shareholders—be
an actual desideratum I
Suppose some clear-headed men think
this matter over, and immediately take the
initiative for organizing a Mercantile CoOpe- 1
rative Association—not particular about the
name. I believe the proposition will take.

' FELLOW ~CITIk!ENS, VOTE IOR
GRANT.
Mr. Edjtor: I am glad to see, in your
issue of yesterday, that you advise every
voter in Georgia, who desires to see the
cause of Relief and the Homestead Act
carried out in good faith, to vote for Grant
and Colfax- This advice I most heartily
endorse, and I trust this advice will be
calmly considered ; if so, I am quite sure it
will be heeded by every man in Georgia
who looks upon the Homestead and Relief
measures as a paramount local question to
our people. My business is such, I have
had scarcely an hour to devote to talking
or reading politics ; yet, I beg this small
space iu your paper, as well as the columns
of the Atlanta New Era, to say to all my
friends in every portion of the State, from
whom 1 have received letters during the
canvass, and those also from whom I hare
not beard, by all means, to come to the
rescue, rote for U. 8. Grant, the great
Captain of the age, whose magnanimity to
the Southern people, and especially to’tie
immortal has been unparalleled in the
world’* history, and will be so recognized
by future historians. There is no living
man, in my judgment, who would be able,
or willing, to do more for the poor, poverty
stricken people of these States than Gen.
Grant
The great hue and cry raised of Military
Despotism, in the event'of Grant's election,
is all to deceive the honest, toiling millions,
and to gratify the unholy ambition of greedy
office-seekers after place and power. Heed
it not, my countrymen—vote for Peace,
Liberty and Freedom, from wars and
rumors of wars.
If the polity of the New York Convention
should be enforced, and Seymour and Blair
elected, what becomes us Reconstruction, of
Relief, of the Homestead measure, so wisely
incorporated in our Constitution to save the
great masses of onr people from financial
distress and bankruptcy, if not from actual
suffering and starvation.
The wild and reckless spirit of dictation
and proscription, of the Democracy, can not
win tn this country—mark my prediction.
Allow not disappointed politicians and the
subservient tools of the same, in the shape
of newspapers, to dictate to you or to mis
lead yon. Listen not to the cry, from the
seabcard to the mountains, of Radicals and
Radicalism. This is all stuff - all a delusion. 1
Relief men in Georgia, with who: I have ,
counseled for three years past, wte for ,
Grant and Colfax, and secure peace and
happiness both to yourselves and posterity. 1

forget this-
GENERAL WM. T. WOFFORD.
The Ku-Klux organ evidently antici
pates, and is fearful of the defection to its
party of this liberal minded Democrat.
In its yesterday’s issue it beslavers him
all over with its vile indorsement, and says
if General Wofford is not a Democrat it
does not know where to find one. There
is one thing certain, and that is, that Gen.
W. has repeatedly denounced the course of
lltt.L, Toombs & Co. by name, and held
them lip to the reprobation of the people.
There is another thing just as certain, and
that i:-, he would have denounced the Ku-
Klux editor by name, if the game had
been worth the ffinmunition.
VILLAINOUS.
The ill-natured individual who pre
sides over the Ku-Klux organ of this city,
in an article headed, “Outrageous Inter
ference of the Military,” meanly misstates
the object of sending troops to different
counties throughout Georgia to be the
intimidation of the Democratic voters, and
of the Securing of the vote of the State for
Gen. Gkant. This irrepressible falsifier
knows that United States troops are not
sent for any such purpose. He seems to
lie because it is instinctive with him,
and he loves to indulge his instincts.
When his infamous falsehoods are thrown
into his teeth, he falls back on a dignity
he docs not possess, to maintain a reputa
tion for courage which he is us destitute of
as of truth and honor. He knows these
soldiers are not sent in the interest of any
party: he knows their instructions are the
most positive on this point. Yet, he is not
satisfied with the misrepresentation of
their distribution throughout the State—
■ he goes further than this, which will be
seen by the following extract from his
' article;
Wo think, however, that Gram's subordinate
in this State over oUiniatos the power which his
squads of fifteen will have over the freo white
men of the localities where they are sent. If
wc do not greatly under-estimate the intelligence
and virtue and patriotism and emu-age of those
people, instead of fifteen, there should have boon
sent as many hundred.
There can be but one object in this para
graph, and that is the incitement of revo
iutionary Democrats to double-teem on
[ these fifteen soldiers nt different points,
t and to butcher them. If it does not mean
this, what does it mean ' Is the extract
susceptible of .any other construction 1
Docs it not nlainly say, with a wink and
chuckle, your little fifteen men don’t
amount to anything here; wc intend to
drive colored Republicans from the polls,
and wc don't intend any white men shall
vote for Grant; and if you, Mr. United
States Officer, dare attempt to interfere,
we have the numbers and the arms to clean
you out, too. This is the construction which
the author of the above extract intended
his Democratic readers to give it, and it is
the construction they will give it. We
shall see whether his , murderous counsels
will be heeded.
Only Six Months—Remember that six
month’s residence in the State, and thirty
days in the county, authorizes you to vote
for President, on Tuesday next. No
manager of an election dare make yon take
any of the oaths in the code about your
hiving lived in the State two years. Wc
advise Republicans to watch Democratic
managers, and confront them with the new
Constitution, if any tricks are attempted.
Let it in: Tested—lt. is reported that the
Ordinary of \\ iikes county presumes to de
cide that some of the appointees of Governor
Bullock are ineligible, and refuses to
qualify them. Let a mandamus be issued at
once, and the question decided whether
every inconsequential county officer has a
right to decide upon the legality of the ap- ■
pointinents of the Chief Magistrate of the
State.
LINCOLNTON NO PLACE FOR
RADICALS.
A correspondent of the scalawag organ
in Augusta is lugubrious over what he
terms a great outrage in Lincoln couuty.
It seems that the miserable carpet-bagger,
Akorman, one of the Grant Electors, and
Bullock’s worshipper in the Legislature,
attended Court in Lincolnton last week,
having some unimportant cases on the trial
docket. On arriving at the only hotel in
the village, lie was informed by the land
lord that he could not furnish him lodgings
in bis house, as by doing so he would render
himself obnoxious to the community, and
thereby seriously injure his business. On
this ground Akerman asked a continuance
of his cases for the term, which was
granted by Judge Andrews. It is to be
presumed that there were negro houses iu
the town, where Akerman could have found
accommodations and congenial society, and
that he made the refmal of the hotel
keeper a pretext to have his cases con
tinued.—Savannah News-
We copy the above for the purpose of
Raying that the editor’s allusion to Col.
Akehman is mean and contemptible. There
is no truer man in Georgia, nor one of
finer culture and sensibilities, than Col.
Amos T. Akerman, of Elbert county, where
ho has resided for over thirty years ; and
we tell the editor—who is himself a most
miserable carpet-bagger and a sponge
—that the Colonel is as far above him, in
all the elements which constitute the gen
tleman, as be (the editor) is beneath the
meanest negro in Chatham county.
REA R IN MIND,
That it is the voter’s right to have an
opportunity of voting for Presidential
Electors on Tuesday next. Hence the
necessity for additional boxes at every
county scat, as ordered by the Governor.
If the Governor had not so ordered, it
would nevertheless have been the duty of
the managers of the election to have pro
vided moans for all to vote.
So sure as all the voters that desire arc
not allowed to vote, by election managers
obeying the “Governor East of the Oconee”
instead of the Governor of the State, just
so sure will the vote of Georgia be thrown
out by Congress.

A Mistake.—The Ku-Klux organ, under
its telegraph bead, yesterday morning, con
tained a head line, “ Our next President in
Philadelphia.” General Grant is still in
the West, and has not been near Philadel
phia for several months.
TO FOREIGNERS.
Every male person who has declared his
intention to become a citizen—who has been
six months resident in the State, and thirty
days in the county, and who has paid all
legal taxes which have been required of
him, and which he has had an opportunity
of paying, is entitled to vote for President
at the ensuing election.
Remember this, foreigners! Go to the
Clerk us the Superior Court, “ declare your
intentions,” and then, on Tuesday next,
cast your first vote for Grant and Colfax.
Let us have Peace.!
—_— . ♦ «
No Crowding.—The Democratic organ
advises all Democrats to remain at the polls
after they have voted. This little trick to
crowd Republicans who have nit voted from
the polls will not be wise, nor will it be tol
erated. Fire and fall back is equal and
just to all, and the Republicans will insist
I on the rale being recognized at the polls

Question. —Since the Ku-Klux editor is
raising-such an uproar about the non-pay-
C went of taxes, plain people would like to
know whether he has paid his taxes or not.

E.Y- G O VER NOR 811 O WN.
The following, from the Alabama State
Journal, at Montgomery, is a fair reflex of
the minds of all unbiased men everywhere
That such wholesale slander of an eminent,
patriotic, Christian gentleman found its
way into a solitary respectable Southern
journal was a matter of wonder to us; but
that the slander should be persisted in
after that gentleman’s denial of its truth,
nnd the overwhelming defence set up for
him by a number of the purest men in the
State, is proof of such depravity on the
part of ex-Governor Brown's political
enemies as to “make the very angels
weep!”
The infamous lies and base slanders
originated and circulated by some unprin
cipled Democrats in Georgia, derogatory
to the good name and fair fame of this dis
tinguished patriot aud gentleman, have
been completely and entirely silenced by
the unsolicited certificates from a large
number of the most influential Democrats
in that State. They were unwilling that
such dastardly and cravenly attacks should
be made upon a man of so irreproachable
character as Gov. Brown's, though they’
did come from their own party.
How can a party hope to succeed, when
there is a just God that rules, who resort to
things so mean, low, and dastardly ? If
an angel from Heaven was to visit the Gulf
States and unite with the Republican
party, rage, hatred, ostracism and slander
would be hurled instantly upon the de
voted head of the messenger from God.
But if the veriest fiend that now inces
santly howls in the infernal regions was to
appear again among Southern mortals,
and proclaim that he was a Democrat,
open would fly the welcoming arms of that
party, and he would be cordially and joy
ously received into the disunion and rebel
lious ranks.

OCR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Record of the Republican Party-—Treaty with
Madagascar—Visit of the Chief Justics to
Georgia—Virginia Lands—Seymour on the
Rampage, and Grant at Galena.
Washington, October 28, 1868.
Speaker Colfax made an able speech in
response to Horatio Seymour, at Detroit, a
few days since, in which he gave a portion
of the record made for itself by the Repub
lican party, contenting himself mainly,
however, with what was done previous to
1860. He might have occupied his whole
speech with facts in the history of the
party which will be dear to the people so
long in a Republican form of government
exists. Its grappling, in its infancy, with
the Democracy, backed up by the Supreme
Court, with the infamous Dred Scott De
cision of Taney on the question of slavery
into the Territories, and practically
everywhere within the history of
the United States, was a very grand
achievement, indeed. But what is that
to be compared with what the party
has achieved since 1861 7 That party has
suppressed the most gigantic rebellion known
in the whole history of the world, commenc
ing the work at a time when the Government
was wholly unprepared for war, for want of
credit or money, a navy or an army. The
heroic saci dices made io fill up the army,
while two-thirds of the supporters of Sey
monr and Blair to-day were either in arms
against the Government or extending aid
and sympathy to its enemies. The paying
ol the vast army when raised was a problem
surrounded by the most appalling difficulties;
but it was done, and successfully. In the
meantime, Congressional legislation has done
much towards preparing the way for a bril
liant future. The Homestead Laws and the
encouragement given to our railway system
will forever redound to the credit of the
party. Under the Homestead- Laws, thou
sands of acres of land, before unoccupied,
have been taken up by actual settlers. These
laws were opposed by the Democratic mem
bers of Congress as a body. So, too, did
they oppose giving ai 1 to the railroad now
building across the continent. Who, to-day,
would be willing to have the Congressional
majority retrace the step in this regard ?
and so we might go on with the enumeration
to the end of lhe chapter. The Republican
party has a rscord to be proud of, and one
which they need not be ashamed to lay
before the public.
Your readers may be interested to know
that a treaty has recently been concluded
with the ruling powers of Madagascar. This
island has an area of about 2,-100,000 square
miles, a population of 4,700,000, and gov
erned by an unlimited monarchy. The
ruling population are Hovus—a copper
colored race, with thin lips and sharp noses.
They are superstitious, and every effort to
Christianize them hue thus far failed. The
interior of the island has never been ex
plored. It is to be hoped that Mr. Seward
has no idea of purchasing any property on
the West coast of Africa. Writing of treaties
reminds me that, for a young government,
the United States has made a Urge number
during its existence—in all, two hundred
and five; forty-nine, or nearly one-fourth,
have been made by the present Secretary of
State.
The Secretary of the Interior is baulky.
While the War, Treasury and other Secre
taries give permits freely for clerks to go
home to vote, Mr. Secretary Browning per
emptorily refuses to give his consent. He
doubtless feels sore about the “ Lost Cause,”
and so does General Rosencranz. “ Rosa”
was appointed and confirmed Minister to
Mexico months ago; he delayed leaving the
country to have an interview with Robert E.
Lee, and then waited to see what effect that
inteiview would have upon the country.
Now, just as he got ready to leave, he says
Grant will be elected, and there will be no
use for him to go to Mexico and slay only
until the 4th of March. General Rosa will
not go to Mexico.
Chief Justice Chase will be iu your State
about the middle of November to hold Court.
It is to be hoped that Grant’s election on the
.31 ult. will clear the way for him, so that
the K. K.'s will be scarce. Chase doesn't
like bayonets.
The contest in General Butler's district in
Massachusetts is the most lively affair of
the campaign. With a Republican majority
in the district of more than six thousand,
Butler is pretty sure to be reelected. The
wire-pullers here do not care much who
is elected, as Butler's financial policy has
been pretty much exploded.
More than $500,000 worth of land has
been sold in the vicinity of Warrenton, ▼*.,
since the war. A majority of the purchasers
are awaiting Grant's election and peace be
fore taking possession. A much larger
quantity of land has changed hands just
across the river, in Fairfax county.
While Seymour is hopping about like a
pea in a hot skillet, going from one State to
another fairly begging the people to vote for
qitn, Grant remains quietly at Galena
smoking his cigar, as though he had no
special interest in the result of the election.
It is a noted faet that our best Presidents
have been poor talkers, while our poor
Presidents have all had a wonderful gift of
gah. The greatest talkers were Pierce,
Buchanan and 'Johnson. It is believed that
General Grant has already arranged a plan
by which his administration is to be gov
erned, so far as it is possible to do so, in ad
vance. He has also counselled with himself
as to the material of which the Cabinet must
be composed. The individuals of the Cabi
net will be of secondary importance. They
must come up to his standard, aud that set
tle I it matters not to Grant whether Tom,
Dick or Harry holds the positions. Os
Grant's capacity for selecting assistants the
country is familiar; he rarely made a mis
take during the war; and it is quite certain
that his civil will be as brilliant as his mili
tary career.
The election to come off next Tuesday
continues to be the absorbing topic to the
exclusion of almost everything else, in
cluding business. Capital.

Colfax in the ballot-box, without the names

< ♦ > ——
From the New York Suu.]
WHO ARE THE RADICALS?
The enemies of General Grant talk a great
deal about his being the Radical candidate
for the Presidency, and about the horrors
which will result from the establishment of
Radical rule under his auspices. According
to them, the General will be only a tool in
the hands of men thirsting for the destruc
tion of the country, and his election will be
the signal for the most atrocious outrages
and unparalleled excesses.
To every one in the least familiar with
General Grant’s character, either from per
sonal acquaintance or from the record of his
career, the idea of his being a tool in the
hands of any man or set of men is absurd.
He has always acted upon his own judgment
in the execution of whatever business was
intrusted to him, and it is not likely that he
will begin at his present mature age to give
up the habit. Like every wise man, he has
got all the help he could from the knowledge
and experience of others, and then has done
as he thought best. As President, he will
probably pursue the same course. He has
made no pledges to the party which nomi
nated him, not even respecting the appoint
ment of a single official. They asked him
to be their candidate; he did notask them
for the nomination. When he takes posses
sion of the White House, he willbeatliberty
to call around him just such men as he pre
fers, and all his past career is an assurance
that he will choose, not violent politicians,
but sound, trustworthy public servants. He
is a man ol extraordinary common sense
himself, and will look out for that quality in
his appointees. The welfare of the nation
could not be placed in hands less likely to
imperil it by excesses of any kind.
Besides this, the danger to the country
from Radicalism is not all on one side. There
are, it must be confessed, many Radicals in
the Republican ranks ; that is to say, men
who, in devotion to a single absorbing idea,
would hurry the country into injudicious
measures. But, on the other hand, there
are, and always have been, quite as many
such men among the Democrats. In the
days of slavery there were radical partisans
of slavery in the latter party, as well as radi
cal abolitionists in the former, and what the
pro-slavery radicals did in support of their
idea we know only too well. Democrats
have now their radical negro-haters as well
as the Republicans their radical, friends of
the negro ; and while the latter would con
fer on the objects of their affection the in
discriminate privilege of voting and holding
office, the former vent their radicalism by
means of the pistol, the bowie-knife, and
the noose. Then there are the radical Dem
ocratic rebels who would exalt traitors above
loyal men, as well as the radical Republican
anti-rebels who would treat all our misguided
Southern brethren with the same merciless
justice.
Indeed, if either party deserve the accu
sation of being ultra-radical in its charac
ter and purposes, it is the Democratic.
Their candidate for the Vice Presidency
has openly recommended the most violent
and radical measures for relieving his
fellow radicals at the South from the
burden of distasteful measures. The fabri
cator of one of the most important planks
in their platform is Wade Hampton, a
radical rebel, who for four years did his
utmost to overthrow the National Govern
ment. Their chief leaders at the West are
men who propose a radical repudiation of
the national debt as the only thorough
method of mending the national finances.
And here, at the East, we have Radicals
like Rosenberg, who, in their zeal for the
party, get themselves involved in transac
tions which, to say the least of it, have a
very ugly look.
The fact is, that extremes on one side
beget extremes on the other. The fanati
cal devotees of slavery far outdid the Abo
litionists in ultraism. The ultra negro
haters compete with the undistinguishing
advocates of negro equality. The thcorizers
who hold that the rebels have been guilty
of no crime are worse than the fiercest
rebel-denouncers. What the sober citizen
should seek is the path of justice and
wisdom, without leaning to either extreme,
and that path is the one which we honestly
believe Gen. Grant will be sure to tread.
He is aiming at peace, equal rights for all,
the maintenance of the public faith, and
purity in the administration of public
offices. The Radicals of both parties may
rave and howl as much as they like, but
Uiey cannot swerve Grant from his course,
nor control his action.

Remember, that if the names of
Grant aud Colfax are at the head of the
ticket, and the Democratic Electors arc on
the ticket, it is a vote for Seymour and
Blair.
