PLATFORM Adapted by a Republican Convention of Augusta, at si meeting held at the City Hall, Monday evening, Nov. 23, 1868. Whereas, The citizens of Augusta are about to elect municipal officers for the en suing year; and whereas, it is eminently proper that a party which presents candi dates for the suffrages of the people should make known its principles. Therefore, be it * ReseUveil, That, as the Republican party is, and always has been, the friend of the labor ing classes, that our ticket be called the Workingman’s Ticket, and that we present the following resolutions as our platform : Resolved, That it is the duty of the Munici pal Officers of the city to protect all its citi zens in the enjoyment of all the rights guar anteed to them by law, the colored citizen as wel l as the white, the poor as well as the rich. Resolved, That as a measure of economy, the salary of the Mayor should be reduced, and the Workingman’s Party pledges itself to such reduction. /lesolted, That the whole license system is wrong and oppressive, and that taxation should be exclusively on property and in come. Resolved, That all produce passed over the Bridge, for the consumption of the city, in cluding cotton and wood, should be passed free from toll. Resolved, That the City Council should not involve thecity in debt unless it be absolutely necessary in conducting the Municipal Gov ernment. Resolved, That the above Preamble and Resolutions be published in The N ational Republican. The following additional Resolution was also passed at the same meeting: Resolved, That the nomination of candi dates for Mayor and Aidermen be postponed until Saturday, the 28th inst. JOHN REYNOLDS, David Porter, Chairman. Secretary. The Workingman’s Platform. The interests of the working man, and of small dealers, has never been consulted by our Southern politicians. The negro question has always served the purpose of seekers alter place. Every other question and interest has been held in subordination to the grand one of protection, and the laboring class have been entirely ignored. But a new era is dawning upon us, and the working man and the small trader is beginning to assert his power in the control, and his rights to the protection, of the laws. We published in the last issue of the Republican, and again this morning, the platform of the Work ingman’s Party of the city of Au gusta. The attention of the poorer classes is respectfully invited to the following plank in that platform; , Resolved, That the whole license system is wrong and oppressive, and that taxation should be exclusively on property and income. This is a most righteous doctrine. The law , as it exists at present, is most unfair in its practical workings. That the reader may understand how unjust it is, we will illustrate: Mr. Schneider, the largest retail liquor dealer in Au gusta, pays no more for his license than Mrs. Sullivan, or Mr. Frank Murray. The first named of these ! three does an immense business, while the sales of the latter two are compara tively small, and their profits, in con* sequence, insignificant. The Work ingman's Party proposes to equalize this matter by abolishing all tax on licenses, and requiring Mr. Schneider to pay a certain per cent, on the re ceipts of his establishment, and like wise requiring of Mrs. Sullivan and Mr. Murray to pay on their receipts. The effect of such a change would be to place the burdens of the City Gov ernment on those w’ho make the money. Is this not right? Is it not just? Where is the honesty of making the small dealer pay as much as the large ? We only take the dealers for an illus tration. The same principle, if the Workingman’s Party is successful, is to apply to every other class of busi ness. But we are met with the argument that it the law is changed as advocated by our party, the tax on real estate will be increased. Not at all. Instead of decreasing the public revenues, it will largely increase them. The only difference will be that the money will come out of the pockets of those blessed with large incomes instead of that class who barely realize sufficient from their business to “ keep soul and body together.” It is the absolute interest of all hucksters, and small dealers, to secure this change. The wealthy should have no objection to it, for “out of their abundance” they ought to be willing to “ give liberally.” “KuKlux Outrages.” The Radical paper published at Augusta ventilates, in a recent issue, a lying affidavit by a vagabond negro concerning some very horrible cruelty ]>crpctrated by “ Ku-Klux” (of course) upon a crippled “ man and brother” in Warren county. 1 Maron Journal and Messenger. One of the editors of the above named journal is said to be a minister of the Gospel. That he degrades and dishonors the character of his profes sion the above extract clearly proves. The writer pronounces the affidavit recently published in the Republi can, giving the particulars of the murder and burning of the body of a sick negro boy in Warren, “ a lying affidavit by a vagabond negro.” Now, we assert that the statement is wholly truy, and that the writer for the Journal and Messenger, if ho had a decent regard for truth, and for the principles of morality which his pro fession inculcates, would not have so hastily and emphatically denied the facts. If the editor would live up to his professions, he would denounce such barbarism, instead of protecting the savages in his party by claiming for them the innocence of lambs, and denying, without inquiry, that they' commit any crimes. The Chronicle <£’ Sentinel, yester day morning, also denies the state ment with reference to the doings of the Warren county Ku-Klux, by stating that if they were true the editor would have heard of it. Hanse Wright is guilty of the basest kind of lying when he says he has not heard of them from Democratic sources. It is useless to mince mat ters. These Democratic editors and leaders fill the hearts of the people with hate and murder, and when the fruits of their barbarous teaching is seen in assassinations, murders, and burnings of human bodies, they have the unblushing impudence to attempt to deceive the people of the country by a fiat denial of the truth. Such men arc simply liars. They can not be less than this. History will pro nounce them much more than liars. It will characterize them as the insti gators of a heathenish barbarism that would disgrace savages. In addition to the evidence we have already published in relation to the murder and burning of the body of the colored boy, in Warren county, wo to-day present the following cor roborative testimony; Office Agent Bureau R., F. and A.L., j Warrenton, Ga.. Nov. 7, 1868. f Col. J. R. Lewis, U. 8. j., Awisfriat Commis sioner, Atlanta, Ga. : 1 have the honor to make a statement of a murder that took place at Joseph Brinkley’s plantation that was intended for old man Perry Jeffrey, who was assaulted on the night of November Ist. Mr. Alack Lozen bury sent for Perry and told him tliat the same party of men intended to kill him for a Radical. On this information Perry slept in the woods. On the night of the atli about 100 men visited his house; not finding him there they killed his son, a sick boy, not able to get oft his bed; after killing they put him into a feather bed, with another on the top of that, piled all of the furniture and clothing of the house, and burned the whole. The Coroner is investigating the matter now. Perry has a good crop; some 25 bags of cotton, but dares not stay to gather it. He and his family leave for Augusta, to-day: lie has made the Sheriff liis agent to sell his crop. Perry is a good old. man, industrious and has a good character from his old master. I sent the hat, captured at his house by Major Atwood, to you. I would like if a troop of cavalry could be stationed in this District, for tins is only the beginning of these mur ders. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, (Signed) R. C. Anthony, A true copy : Agent, etc. M. Frank Gallagher, Brev. Capt. U. S. A., A. A. A. G. How about Yourself. —We pub lished yesterday the cooked up cor respondence between .Messrs. Hill and Miller, claimants for seats in the United States Senate from Georgia. Mr. Hill complacently informs his Democratic would-be colleague that, in conversation with persons at Wash ington, he recounted “what he had done for reconstruction in the Conven tion, and in defence of the Constitu tion proposed by the Convention.’’ Why did not Mr. Hill condescend to inform the public what he did either for the Convention or the “Constitu tution proposed by the Convention.” If current reports be true, the recital would not fatigue him. Slavery in a New Locality.— We are creditably informed that Mr. M. M. Walker, a white man, who has faithfully labored in the Augusta Fac tory for nine years, has been dis charged, because he expressed his determination not to vote for the Democratic Conspiracy Ticket tor Mayor and Aldermen. No fault was found with Mr. Walker’s work. It was simply an outrageous attempt to make a slave of a free white man, and to intimidate other employ ees. Os what use is a vote to Mr. Walker, if he cannot vote as his judgment and conscience dictates ? Waiting.—The Atlanta Era seems to be in a quandary as to the course to pursue, politically. That paper is evi dently “waiting to see which way the cat will jump.” When the cat 'does “jump,” the editor w ill claim that that was his position all the time. What the paper lacks in principle, it makes up in impudence. Letter from the Capital Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23, 1868. Editor Republican: Grant was a “tanner,” it is unnecessary to say who he has tanned. He was an undertaker —he made the coffin the Democracy is buried in. But some of the so called say he is going to exhume this defunct concern, and in ’72 will be their candidate for the Presidency, and in the meantime intends to dis card every Republican and every' principle of the Republican platform aud will run the machine to suit them exclusively. Well, if he does we will wager that he will not be assassinated. the legislature will be overwhelmingly' Republican at its next session, in all probability.— The negroes will return and take their seats which were unconstitutionally occupied for a few weeks by what is known as the “new issue.” And be sides, Congress will require the letter and intent of the law to be enforced, which will exclude every one who can not and will not take the “test oath.” Os these there are many who partici pated in the work of the last Legisla ture and received the people’s money for it, whose scats hereafter will be filled by those who received the next highest number of votes at the election for Assemblymen. All these added to the present Republican members, it will be perceived, will make the Legislature overwhelmingly and joy fully Republican; then where will be the power to “turn over the State Road to a set of Commissioners ?” (I had liked to have said a party of vultures.) Why, in the hands of those who are friendly supporters of the State Gov ernment, who desire the prosperity of the people of Georgia more than the gratification of political hatred, and who will retain in force such laws and regulations as have promoted this end in the past, and men who will in future legislate only for this purpose. visitors. There has been a large number of visitors (many of the so-called mem bers of the Legislature), during the past ten days. Some are engaging board and lodging for their anticipated sojourn with us in January', while others are “laying in” their supply of refreshments, consisting of whiskey, etc., for the Christinas holidays. A jolly time to them. Fulton. Opposition to Railroads. “The Life of George Stephenson and his son Robert,” which has been written by Samuel Smiles and pub lished by the Harpers, is in a large octavo volume, and has many illustra tions. As one reads these pages, it is difficult to believe that such intense hostility to railways, and such an utter want to faith in the possibility of locomotive transportation, coulu aave existed in England within the memory of the present generation. It is also interesting to trace the marvellous strides in mechanical construction since Mr. Stephenson’s first engine, the Rocket, was built. The locomo live of 1825 is the locomotive of to-day less than the toddling child is to the mature man. When the first competi tive trial was made, in 1825, the en gine, was preceded by a man on horse back. Mr. Stephenson ordered him to stand aside, and the Rocket was put to the pace of fifteen miles an hour. Even then the passenger traffic was kept in the background, because it was useless to stir up the hostility of inn-keepers, stage-owners, etc., mere ly for the sake of “carrying a few hundred passengers a year.” Large cities refused to permit railroads to be contrasted to thorn, but not many years passed before they were glad to have branches to connect them with main lines. The newspaper, the coun try gentlemen, men high in Parlia ment, condemned and sneered at rail roads. Au eminent gentleman of Liverpool pledged himself that, in the event of a locomotive ever being made which should travel more than ten miles in the hour, “he would cat a stewed en gine wheel for his breakfast.” The Quarterly Review asked, “What can be more palpably absurd than the pros pect held out of locomotives travelling twice as fast as coaches ? We ivould as soon expect the people to suffer themselves to be fired off upon one of Congreve’s rockets, as to trust them selves to the mercy of such a machine going at such a rate.” It was urged that property near railroads would fall in value, that the smoke of engines would poison the atmosphere, and be a perpetual nuisance. The “feiv hundred passengers” ex ported in 1825 rose, in 1866, in Great Britain, to over 313,000,000, equiva lent to ten trips a year to each man, woman and child in the kingdom. As to the peril of disasters, more persons were killed by lightning in England, in 1866, than on the railroads, and, according to the Registrar-General’s return for 1867, the chances of every onq in England being hanged are thirty times as great as those of being killed upon a railway. Mr. Smile’s book makes it evident that the vast population of London are indebted to the railways for their sup plies of food and fuel. He says if an invading force should cut the North ern railroads, and hold them for a fort night, London would be starved into submission - A r . U. Commercial Ad vertiser. 1 ■ 1 ■ ■ ■ - —The Duke of Cambridge, Queen Victoria’s cousin, is certainly’ a most enviable mortal, from all accounts. He receives, as General Officer, di 16 a day; as Commander-in-Chief, £7 a day ; as Colonel of the First Regiment of the Line, nearly £I,OOO a year; as Colonel of the First Regiment of Engineers, SBOO a year; as Colonel of the First Regiment of Artillery, £600; and possesses, besides all these, a clear £12,000 a year. —Tiie Duke of Nassau recently in vested one million dollars in United States bonds. Time Enough Yet.—The inquisi tive press and the eager politicians arc speculating about the composition of Gon. Grant’s Cabinet. As yet all such speculations are in vain. The head of the incoming Administration was trained in the army. He ia proverbially, and, to active partisans, often provokingly reticent. He keeps his own counsels. He says little, but does an immense amount of think ing. He listens attentively, cogitates carefully, and, when he gets ready, acts deliberately and decisively. We fancy the public will yet find out that two inflexible rules will guide him in forming his Cabinet. First, it will be composed of men of commanding talents, executive ability, tried patriotism, and lofty integrity. Secondly, he will select them to suit himself, and no amount of pressure will be able to impose upon him any man whom he docs not cordially desire as one of his Executive advisers. In this respect, his choice of a Cabinet will almost be without a precedent. Watch and see if our predictions are not verified by the event, says the New York Sun. • —— Difficulty at Athens, Ga.—A very regrettable difficulty took place, yesterday evening, in this town, be tween Mr. Knox, Agent of the Freed men’s Bureau, and Mr. Tom Frierson, a young man belonging to one of the most respectable families of Athens, which resulted in Mr. Knox shooting Mr. Fierson in the leg, just above the knee, iflicting a severe, if not danger ous wound. The cause of the collision is not very well understood. It is reported, however, that some misunderstanding has existed between the parties for some time, and that angry messages have passed between them; but nothing serious occurred until yester day, when Knox shot Frierson on the stair-case leading to Knox’s office. Mr. Knox was promptly arrested by the municipal authorities, to whom he readily submitted, and a formal exam ination will take place to-morrow. The negroes were very much excited all last night, and paraded the streets •with bludgeons, old swords, and crazy fire locks of various descriptions, de termined to do or die in defense of Knox, whom nobody threatened to assail, and against ■whom there was no apparent excitement or ill will. Mr. Knox is said to have telegraphed immediately after he shot Frierson, to the authorities at Atlanta to send troops here to prevent a riot, and I learn that a special train with a de tachment has just arrived. So far as the white population and the civil au thorities are concerned, I can see no possible need of military interference. The former have no feeling in the matter, but one of regret that the peace and good order of the town have been-disturbed, and of sympathy with the wounded young man and his family, and the authorities arc resolved to do their whole duty, and vindicate the law. Mr. Knox need ncjt dread any per sonal violence or popular vengeance. He is as safe in the protection of the Mayor and police as if he was at home in Michigan, and if there be any dan ger of a riot, it must be among the negroes, who have been very wickedly excited by the indiscreet friends of Mr. Knox. The whole community regret the oc currence, and if Mr. Knox reports the exact state of the case, he must admit that during his stay here, in the dis charge of his odtous duties, he has had no just cause of offence against the people except it be the entire unanx unity with which they oppose the poli tics of Mr. Knox and his ill-judged advice toward the negroes. [Atlanta Intelligencer , 2ttZ>. —A touch of the dyspepsia, grow ing out of pig’s foot swallowed at midnight has changed a man’s whole life, and an irregularity of the bile has made an angel almost a fiend. If the gastric juice-is all right, and the blood in swimming order, the world is a nice, bright, pleasant place, and from which nobody is in a hurry to move ; but if in that queer, mysterious fluid there is any alloy, the sky of life is all cloud, the winds howl, and everything is dark and dismal.
