The party of which the Ttygraph is an advocate - arc alone responsible for the befouling » 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 i T. Akermax, at the instance of lead ■ itig citizens, was denied lodging in a country hotel ? Wasn’t Georgia be fould when from two to four hun dred armed men assembled in the 3 town of Warrenton for the openly I avowed purpose of killing certain B speakers if they appeared, ami of pre venting speaking at the Court house square ? Was not Georgia liefouled when a poor colored man was killed [• and burnt in the same county by the i Ku-Klux ? Was not Georgia bofoulod i when the colored man Walker was assassinated in Early county for or ’ ganimug a Grant Club ? Was not Georgia befooled when A. G. Rutkin, K Sheriff of this county, was assassinated > near the Court house square? Neither • the Rkpi blican or the Republican 1 party are resjioneible for any of these acts.

Oppmkd to Evbry Effort for Pwis.—The Chronicle instinctively opposes every measure intended and calculated to keep the peace. Every one knows that witli two boxes in each precinct one for the white, and one for tho colored voters—there is not likely to be half the bitteniew or near so much danger of a difficulty, as if the two races were to crowd indiscrimi nately aroiuid one box.

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 ?

Jesse left Lincoln county in the night time, and started back immediately after his ani val here so as to reach home in the night time and thus escape injury himself for the worthy deed of getting his fellow man out of danger. I had n long talk with him. and questioned him closely, and feel satisfied that these murders have been committed, with no other motive but a political one, of keeping the freedmen from the polls, or making them vote as the cowardly villains dictate. lam powerless, and am satisfied it would not be safe for one man to attempt to go up there to investigate these outrages. 1 am, sir, very respectful];-.

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 gusta. 1 have done netting wrong that I know of, except that I am a lituiieal.

G. 1 ___ 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.

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 the Kentucky Yeoman. As it proba bly made a few votes by the fraud, while it had nothing of character to lose, the operation seems to have re sulted in a net profit of so many votes. —jEd. Tribune.] » 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 [ me yet.’’ I -rr. . 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. SPECIAL NOTICES.
