AUGUSTA, <+A.
FRIDAY MORNING November 6, 13(18
This is a Republic where the Will of
the People is the Law of the Land.
[U.S. Grant.
“ Watch over the preservation of the Union
with zealous eye, and indignantly Jr own upon
the first dawning of every attempt to alienate
any portion of the Country from ’te rest, or
to enfeeble the sacred ties, which n ’W link
together the various parts.”— Washington’s
Farewell Address.
11O. v. A. U. STEPHENS.
There never was a time when this distin
guished gentleman had it in his power to
render more essential service to his country
than he can at present. An address from
him, such as wc know his head and heart
would dictate, would allay the apprehensions
of the people, restore confidence, cause the
cessation of proscription, and make all
Americans once more friends. WiH not
Mr. Stephens come to the rescue ? We hope
be may see the propriety of it, and we appeal
to him by the remembrance of the many
honors which the State has bestowed on
him, by the love which the people bear him,
and by the love which we know he cherishes
for his native land, to come to the rescue.
Georgians have a confidence in you, Mr.
Stephens, which they entertain lor no other
living statesman, and a word from you on
the blessings of moderation will be heeded
by them.
Well Deserved Compliment.—A uor
respondent of the Chronicle <<■ Sentinel, pub
lishes the following well deserved eompli'
ment of Gov. Bullock. We are glad to see
i the Chronicle disposed to do the Governor
justice in one matter at least, and hope now
that the election is over that that paper will
manifest a disposition to do him justice in
all matters.
Here is the extract:
“The fund for the maintainance of disabled
soldiers has been secured, and the annual
instalment of SB,OOO due by the State has
been acknowledged and regularly paid by
Gov. Bullock, who deserves the thanks of
the friends of the cause of liberal education
for the promptitude with which he has met
this claim.”
A Heavy Dig.—The Constitutionalist
yesterday morning has thy following heavy
dig : “ Hill, Toombs and other blather
skites, the South has cause to know and
to rue that those who talk the most are
not the wisest.”
LosV its County Again.—The Atlanta
Era, a newspaper that boasts that it is the
only hope of the Republican party in Geor
gia, did not carry its own county on Tuesday
last, as it failed in the Gubernatorial can
vass. On the other hand, notwithstanding
that hundreds of the Republicans were
frightened from the polls by the emeute on
Tuesday, we carried our county.
THE HIGHT SPIRIT.
We do not know when wc perused an
article with nyire satisfaction than we felt
yesterday morning, on reading the leading
editorial in the Cimslilitlionalid. We do
not mean to say that we approve all, or
near all, that the editor says; but we do
approve, and most heartily commend, its
general tone and temper. Wc make the
following extract from the article in ques
tion :
More than this, unpopular as it may sound to
tho car of a people exasperated at defeat and
willing to credit Ita Realism with any amount of
malevolent atrocity in design and purpose, even
Radicalism doos noVainq nr dwiira, to crush out
the matorialptosperity of the Soutfi. It would
not promote the interest of any class or section
i in this country to impoverish tho South. In
| this simple fact let the South take comfort, and
act upon it. On the contrary, every interest in
tbe Eastern, the Western, and the Middle Stites
t would lit promoted by Southern prosperity.
> There arc.no rival or antagonistic interests in
> any of t!n*o sections to existing interests among
I us, and do motive there to combine to our
I injury. The imposition of that unconstitutional
outrage, the tax on cotton, which dealt tho
1 cotton Statas such a disastrous blow during the
last two years, was not conceived in whole by a
malignaut spirit. It was not imposed for ths
| purpose of blighting Southern prosperity, or
I crippling the planting interest. It was done for
revenue purposes. It was done to raise money
to help pay tho Government expenses. It was
• unwisely supposed that the price of cotton was
B so remunerative that theeotton-planting interest,
s notwithstanding the desolated condition of this
region and tho disorganization of labor, could
bear tho exaction and prosper in spite of it.
1 II is uoi probable this tax wilt be imposed again
! onus. It may be attempted. The Radical wing of
i tile dominant party, from mingled motives of
malignity to tho South and crude notions of tho
justnesa of the burthen, may desire it. But their
own especial pets, the negroes, will raise a
potent howl against it, and the Conservative
> Republicans, who outnumber tho Radicals, will
I condemn it, and aid the Democrats to put it
, down. Other legislation unfavorable to South
j ern interests, but not aimed especially to injure
them, may be persisted in. The system of high
J protective tariff duties is an outrage on just
- principles of taxation, but it is a grievance of
• which the South can complain iu common with
! all agricultural sections. It is an outrage which
f the Northwestern States will aid her in over
, throwing, when legislation becomes directed by
the substantial interests rather than tho passions
of the eople.
lu the above we assure our cotemporary
that it does the Republican party in
Congress only partial justice. There is
no desire among the mass of Republican
Senators and Congressmen to oppress the
South, cripple her energies, or retard her
general prosperity. Neither is there any
hatred of the Southern people indulged by
the leading members of that party, with
now nnd then an exception, like the one
under discussion, which good-tempered
articles, bearing good-tempered fruit, here
in the South, will soon render utterly pow
erless. And danger need not be antici
pated that the cotton tax will be revived,
or that any oppressive taxation stands the
ghost of a chance of adoption by Con
gress. Instead of that, a cheerful acqui
esence in the inevitable, with a good feel
ing between Southern Democrats and
Southern Republicans, will enable us. we
have little doubt, to secure an appropria
tion from Congress to repair thq levees of
the Mississippi, open the navigation of the
Tennessee, Savannah, and other Southern
rivers. If our jieople will only laconic
homogeneous, respect each other’s opin
ions, and cease to look upon every man of
a different political party, all these ends
can be accomplished in less than twelve
months. It is idle for the South to look
for relief alone to what is known as the I
Copperhead element of the North. That
party is powerless to help itself, and will
remain so so long as the people of the
North continue to believe that secession is
wrong. All substantial relief must come
from the Republican party. Our neighbor
yesterday morning started on the right
track. Wc hope he will continue to pursue
it. . He will deserve well of his country if
he docs.
There is another fact which our sensible
Democrats should recognize, and that is,
that Southern Republicans arc in no sense
the enemies of the Southern people. They
have honestly believed that their policy
was the best, and, in defence of that be
lief they have unjustly suffered contumely
and reproach, social ostracism and perse
cution in business, and risked their lives
on many occasions. Does not this show
that they are in earnest and honest in their
politico] principles'. Vfe think it does.
Then, why not treat them as persons dif
fering in politics, but not as enemies?
Cease abusing.thcm, and argue with them.
Let not a man’s politics interfere with his
business. This is the wisest course for flic
Democrats to pursue, and certainly it is
the most patriotic and noble. It is their
best policy, too, for it is certain that neither
President Grant nor Congress will be dis-'
posed to tolerate a set of men that are
unwilling to tolerate a difference of opinion
here in the South. Those who wish to be
tolerated should first show themselves to
be tolcffUit. Those who desire magnan
imity shottld be magnanimous. This is
common sense, and if the Democrats will
consult their prejudices less and be gov
erned more by the teachings of common
sense, they will feel better for so doing,
and confer substantial benefit on their
country.
SOUTHERN CHIVALRY AROUSED.
GRAND DEMOCRATIC EXPLOIT IN WILKES
COUNTY.
GRAND CHARGE ON A RADICAL BEAST!
We learn that, on the night of the Re
publican meeting in Washington. Wilkes
county, last week, the Democratic party of
that town signalized itself by a memorable
exploit. CoL A Kerman, a Grant Elector,
had made a speech which did some
damage to the Democratic cause, and the
injured party thirsted for revenge. And
how should revenge be taken ? Not by
answering the speaker’s argument, for that
was impossible. Not by traducing his
character, for nobody could believe such
slang. Not by assaulting his person, for
that might be dangerous, nnd might also
re-act on the perpetrators. But the
inventive genius of the Wilkes Democracy
was equal to the occasion.
The heroes laid their plans with true
military secresy, and executed them in true
military style—that is, in the style of those
gallant soldiers of the late war who distin
guished themselves above their comrades
by raids upon hen-roosts. Waiting till
night, they took advantage of its dark
ness to enter the stable attached to th
hotel where the Republican Elector stayed,
and trimmed the mane and tail of his horse.
Wasn’t this a noble revenge ? The Wilkes
Democrats have among their leaders two
ex-Confederatc Generrfls, from whom they
might learn soldiery, and an ex-Judge, from
Yvhoin they might learn law. But wc do
not think that the minds of these chiefs
were cqlled into requisition in planning
this great achievement. It required greater
genius than theirs to plan, and greater
coinage than theirs to execute. These
men'ought to be deposed from their lead
ership, and the performers of this lofty
feat installed in their place.
The Democracy of Wilkes, wc learn, are
elated and exulting. What if their party
lias lost in the election '. They have shaved
the tail of a Radical Elector's horse, and
this is glory enough for one campaign.
, The only drawback upon their joy is the
• provoking remark of the owner of the dis
’ figured property, that he is not surprised
■ to find that asses have a spite against
horses.
HOW ELECTIONS ARE MANAGED
IN ENGLAND.
It is probable that the time of the chief
parliamentary elections this yef.r will coin
cide very nearly with our own national elec
tion, nnd that we shall get the English re
turns just when they are getting ours. There
is no uniform day for voting there as there
is here; but the limit of variation in time
cannot much exceed a week. In evsry
place entitled to ba represented in parlia
ment. is a person called “the returning offi
cer.” whose duty is to tnaaage the election.
In counties, the sheriff, and in cities and
boroughs the mayor, bailiff, or some other
person duly appointed, is the returning
officer. Tbe writs from the lord chancellor
of the kingdom are dispatched to these re
turning officers, commanding them to elect
their members, which they must do in
boroughs within six days after the receipt of
the writ; while in counties twelve days are
allowed, but the elections must not be held
sooner than the sixth day. Upon the day
fixed, called the nomination day, a covered
platform called the hustings is erected in
the principal town in counties, and in some
convenient locality in other places, upon
which the candidates for election and
their friends assemble. The returning
officer takes tbe oath against bribery,
and for the discharge of his duties. The
candidates are proposed by one supporter,
and seconded by another. They then
address the electors, stating their political
opinions and their claims to represent
them. If the number of persons proposed
does not exceed that which the electors arc
entitled to send to parliament, they are
elected then and there; if more be put in
nomination, and a contest arises, the re
turning officer calls for a “ show of hands,”
and declares which hand lias the greatest
number held up for him, but as thoie is no
way of discovering whether all who thus
give their vote are entitled to one, any
candidate unwilling to abide by this de
cision may demand a poll. When this is
taken, each elector appears before persons
appointed by the leturoing officer as his
deputies, and decides for which candidate
he intends to vote. This vote is entered by
the clerks in the poll-books, which, at tho
expiration of the tune allowed by law for
polling, are taken to the returning officer.
The votes are added up and the candidates
who are found to have gained the highest
number of votes are declared by him to be
dnly elected. In counties the polls remain
open for two days, in cities and boroughs I
for one only.
Communications.
MAYOR BLODGETT.
Mn. Editor:—Guilty persons are prompt
to accuse and villify the guiltless. They
seldom, however, if ever, make their accu
sations on their own responsibility, but,
craven-like, skulk behind the “we learn,”
“reliable source,” and other subterfuges.
No man has done more for the welfare of
Augusta than Hon. Foster Blodgett. No
man, to- lay, cherishes a holier, purer ambi
tion as to Augusta’s future prosperity than
our present distinguished Mayor; yet no
man is more unjustly ami frequently falsely
accused.
The conduct of Mr. Blodgett’s opponents
demonstrates the truth of the assertion that
when men have no truthful arguments they
resort to sophistry and calumny and false
hood. But truth, let malcontents remember,
truth will prevail.
Let us have Peace is hereafter to be the
policy of the Gereral Government, and the
term “Peace” means the triumph of reason
over passion. Mr. Blodgett has always been
on that side, nnd he is destined to outlive the
jeers and attempted scoffs of the evil mind
ed. His tradueers will shortly be found
swallowing their denunciatory maledictions,
even as they have already begun to do in tho
case of General Grant.
Long may Mr. Blodgett be spared to
c re for the interest of Augusta.
