L Befouling Georgia
The Macon Telegraph says;

befouling Georgia » Will it advance a single

befouling Georgia. The party of
which the Ttygraph is an advocate

» part, and it is because we are striving
' to produce a better order of things
t thoughtless and unprincipled people
j denounce us. Was not Georgia be
fouled when a Georgia Grund Jury
b impudently arraigned a Georgia Judge
-for supporting and voting for <4enoral
‘ Gram for President?
1 Was not Georgia befouled when such
. a pure and honorable citizen as Amos

fould when from two to four hun
dred armed men assembled in the

We lay before the readers of the
Bkpi iii.tcan, this morning, additional
evidences of the murders and assassi
nations which have recently been com
mitted in Georgia by the secret,
treasonable political org.waisQn
known as Ku-Klux. We give the
names of the men who have been mur
dered, ns well as the names of others
who were fortunate to escape. I'he
men named as killed are no more. They
died violent deaths. ’Die Democracy
dare not deny that they aro dead. The
civil officers arc utterly powerless,and
generally indisposed to bring the as
sassins to j nstice. The question arises
can nothing be done ? Is this specimen
of Democratic civilization to continue
without interruption ? Is a great Gov
ernment —which the telegraph inform#
us is prompt to redress the grievances
of Its adventurous citizens in Paraguay
—going to be guilty of the criminal
imbecility of making no effort to pro
tect its peaceable and unoffending citi
zens at home against an organized
band of red-handed assassins backed
by an organized political party ? If the
Government has neither the will nor
the power to protect its law-abiding
citizens, of what good is the Govern
ment itself ?

plorable condition of affairs in Lincoln

HTATKMEN* OF HUMPHREY CURTIS.
1 reside- in Lincoln county, Georgia, at.
Tucker’s Mill, altout eight miles from Lin
colnton. My name is Humphrey Curtis.
I>HBt Friday night, October 30th, 1868, about
midnight, some five or six persons, disguised,
four of whom 1 recognized as »*<* *** and
*** and a fifth I thought was sa *, came
to my house and forcibly searched it, saying
they were looking for my pistol. One of them
struck me with his pistol on the forehead
They said there shouldn’t a d—d Radical
stay fit the county. They took me from my
house, and they had with them also, two
other men, named Abraham Brigsby and
William Curtis. They made us take hold of
one another and walk like soldiers in single
file; they marched us down totlie mill, about
half a mile from my house; they went into
the mill and broke open my father’s (William
Curtis’) box; (my father is the miller, and
had his things in the mill); they took out all
his (wipers. They separated us, taking my
father up the fence, Abraham over the fence,
and leaving uie where I was; 1 think we were
about fifteen paces apart, some oi the dis
guised men going with each; two remained
with me; I could not hear what was said by
the otliere; they accused me of lying in wait
to kill John Turpin and John Bttssey ; I de
nied it; they then told me I was not in as
much danger as the others, to sit, down by
the mill, and took Aliraluun and put a rope
around Ids body and dragged him up and
down the mill-pond; and they then served
my father in the same manner; then they
took my father and Abraham on ahead, and
told me to follow; they made me lie down in
tho mud, with my- face over the water, as
though I was drinking; they let me get up;
then they made us all crawl upon the mill
dam, on a log; tliey then told us all to get
down into the water, Abraham made a plunge
as though he was trying to swim off, and
they all fired at him together; tiny thought
that Abraham had escaped, and they com
menced to coax him to come back, saying.
’’vOtiiC back And g<j huTnCbut AbnduMii UIU
not come teek; I saw Abraham try to climb
up tlic bank, and theft fail back dead. They
then said to my father, ‘‘Ohl man wliat can
you tell us F* He said, “I cannot tell you
anything.” They tlien said, “Farewell, old
uuui," and fired upon liim, 1 should think
five or six shots altogether. My father was
killed instantly, and fell in the water. Then
1 dived into tne water; when I rose, they,
fired on mo; this was repeated three or four
thnes. I got behind a rock, and they kept
firing nt me; then I crawled, half in and half
out of the water, to a little island in the jKind.
1 heard them say, “G- d d m him, fie *
gone.” I must have fainted, from bleeding,
for I could not see auytbingUmn,and it was
a bright moonlight night, when I come to,
I listened, sud could not bcu- anybody. I
laid there about one hour, and then I man
aged to get lioiuc, and iu the night tune (Sat
urday night, October 31at). some of my
frieiuls brought me down the river to Au

1 If We do Not, Who Will ?—The
f Macon Telegraph says:
r The Republican strings out two columns
’ witli comments from a small local paper,
1 which prides itself upon its violence
’ and extravagance, and does not reflect the
opinions of probably half n dozen people in
the State, to show- the “diabolism of the De
mocracy !
'Hie “small local paper” comes
nearer expressing tho sentiments of
the mass of Democracy than does the
'Telegraph. And if the Republican
■ did not expose and denounce its out
rageous teachings, then who is to do
! it ? The Telegraph— comparatively
. liberal as we acknowledge it to be—
would not. At least, it has not done
, so—neither has it rebuked or de
' nouneed the numberless outrages which
it must know have occurred in
!’ Georgia. We not only hold up to
i public rejiroliation the intemperate
' language of the Democratic press, but
I we give the names of the victims of
, Ku-Klux vengeance, and the dates on
which the crimes were committed.
We defy the Telegraph to a contra
diction of tJie specific facts we state.
Wc hold it to be the duty of that
jiapcr to aidiu arousing public opinion
to a general reformation of public
1 morals, so far as toleration of political
, opinions are concerned. Will it lend
a helping haiwl ? or does it fear to be
taunted with sympathizing with the
' Republicans ?
The New York Timis on Gtebjt
oiA Affairs.—We extract from alate
' editorial from the New York Times:
The Senators sent by Georgia to Washing
ton have not yet been admitted, ami of its
■ liepresentarives only «ne, we believe, has
■ been allowed to take his seat. On this point,
1 therefore, Congress has the advantage, and
we think it quite probable that both Houses,
canying out the principle foreshadowed at
Atlanta, may refuse to admit those whom the
State taw sent, until it lie brought into har
' mony with tlic olivions meaning of the taw,
by recognizing the Tight of tho expelled mem
bers, and applying tho provision of the Four
teenth Amendment, wliich the Legislature
has thus far defied.
The Tunes i» in error as to tlie num
ber of Representatives admitted to
seats in Congress; but the principle is
the same, and tho interference of Con
gress absolutely necessary.

A Forgery Branded.
To the Editor of the New York Tribune :
Hix—Qn my return home from the acssiuu
of November 10, 1 find nearly a hundred
Democratic papers from all sections of the
Union, sent me by friends, containing u vile 1
and scurrilous speech against foreigners, said ]
to have lieen delivered by me in 1-854 or 1835, (
and which appears to have been published, <
simultaneously and by concert, North and "
South, East and West, in the dosing weeks
of the recent canvass.
I need not refer to this wicker! and malig
nant libel, now that the election is over, were
it not that, having been so extensively pub
lished, from Maine to Nebraska, and vouched
for as authentic by editors who were sup
posed to value their character for veracity, '
some honest pentone of one jmrty or the
other, whose good opinions 1 value, might
ttippose it possibly true.
Allow me, therefore, to say, as 1 did pub
licly in this State last month, when this
calumny against me first appeared, that it is,
in every iwrd and nyllalde, a forgery ; tlu.it 1 ,
never uttered meh sentiments in 1854 nor in •
ony other year, and that the vulgar and scur
rilous language embodied in it never fell
from my lips, nor were written by my pen, 1
In that or any other connection, on that or ;
any other theme.
Precisely this same speech was printed by
the Democratic papers in this State a number
of years ago, and then attributed to Mr. Wil
son, who was a for Con
gress; but, having been thus used with effect
in one campaign, it was revamped in the
recent canvase, without my name attached to
, it, by the same editors, every one of whom
knew tliat it was impossible for me to use
such vile language in a speech on any sub
ject.
It will doubtless be used against some other
Republican candidate hereafter; and I have
felt it therefore a duty to expose its history
and its falsity. ‘ Yours truly,
Scih yleb Colfax.
South Bend, Ind., Nov. 14, 1,868,
[The World published this villain
ous forgery, well knowing it to be such,
, just before the election, crediting it to

while it had nothing of character to

sulted in a net profit of so many votes.

EarthquakeExperienck.—A San
: Francisco lady thus describes her re
i cent earthquake experience, in a letter
, to the Cleveland Leader ;
1 On Wednesday morning, before
• breakfast, some of the family with
: me, and others yet in their rooms,
i there came that unmistakable roar,
I which I knew from past experience,
' accompanied by a violent shaking of
the building, rattling of windows,
i cracking and groaning of timbers, the
1 motion so violent that we instinctively
’ rushed for the yard. It was difficult
to keep our feet. I thought verily it
: was the end of time for us, and went
' out in a sort of blind terror, expecting
. the house to crush me before 1 could
reach an open space. After the shock
> was over, I passed from the yard into
! the street, and there the scene was in-
• describable. Many vehicles, buggies
with gentlemen on their way to their
places of business, wagons and loaded
drays, arrested as if by magic—the
street, as far as the eye could reach,
crowded with men, women and chil
dren, pale with fear; very near us, a
• brick chimney had fallen from a two
story brick house to the ground, a
! brick hitting some one who was being
earned into a house; and still nearer,
i a lady in a fainting fit was being at-
> tended to on the sidewalk. This was
\ the tableaux presented to me at the
J first glance.
After a few moments, our earth
seeming to be terra firma once more,
s and my nerves a little quieter. I went
f into the house and sat down at the
, breakfast table, but had scarcely
tasted food before there came another
' slight shock, and away I went for the
■ street, and then back again three
> times before I could make a meal*
- There were five slight tremblings, at
but fifteen or twenty minutes between.
In the street we heard the wildest
s rumors of runaways, falling buildings,
- gas-houses down, men crushed. Os
i course there were many incidents of
j people fleeing from their houses in
seflfft cm tunic, or in none, and in a
> hotel a lady told me of seeing three
3 gentlemen in the door of a room,
I standing in wild affright, each one
f tightly enveloped in a sheet, and of a
, lady returning from the street, in her
night-dress, endeavoring to pull the
’ pins out of her hair. From a house
- on one of the streets there issued a
, woman with her hoopskirt over her
night-dress, and, as she stepped out,
‘ she caught her foot in it and fell; four
other women, following, fell upon her,
' the last one exclaiming, as she went
I down. “O Lord, please don’t swallow

. Earthquakes.—What is to be the
end of these earthquake shocks and
subterranemi rumblings of which ac
. counts arc reaching us from all parts
of America and Europe ? Last week,
we learned of renewed movements in
California, tremors in South Carolina
and shocks in England Now, we
’ hear of movements as close at hand as
New Jersey; while by the Cable we
i hear of a violent shock at Bucharest, in
; the Cunubian Principalities, and we
; are also informed that Vesuvius has
become very agitated, and a new cone
, has lieen formed, from which streams
of lava are being ejected. At latest
' advices from the coast of South Ameri
ca the earth there was still in a state
. of perturbation, ami there was con
stant dread of another such shattering
as lately occured. From the conti
-1 nents of Africa and Asia we have had
no earthquake news, but the absence
of telegraphs and other means of
rapid communication there may ac
count for the w ant of news of a charac
ter similar to that which has reached
ua from various parts of the continents
of Europe and North and South
America. No. speculations about these
extensive and ominous movements of
the earth’s crust are of any value. If
they do not show that the world is
coming to an end, they certainly show
that it is l»eing shaken by some force
possessed of a power sufficiently
tremendous to shatter its solid struc
ture in a waj- altogether beyond
huifiuu calculation. But puny man is
help]css before it. We cannot dis
cover the agency at whose mercy we
are placed, nor could we in any way
control it if it were within our know
ledge. -.V T. Times.
