Our midnight dispatches bring

rible equine malady has appeared both
in North and South CarolinA Would it
not be well for Gov. Smith to take steps
to prevent the importation of the diseoge
into Georgia 7
KaF* It in ihe deefgii of the newly in-
atalled Conducting Editor of Xbf Sc*
to make it essentially a neiei-paper,
which, In theeeopeand quality oi ite con

the beat Dailies of the Sonth.
With the oloee of the Politieal cam
paige, the keen internet that has for a
great while been felt in Polities will ent>-

another campaign. But the hosts of
political and personal friends and ad
mirers of onr esteemed and honored
Political Editor will find bin pen still
industrious, on politico], historical and

Believing: that we aboil famish a paper

and yet more extended patronage ot the

Ff^ Mr. A. L. Harris—oar “Fnatty"—
iu the Comtitulion of yesterday oftornoun
rises “ to explain," and “ in language
that's plain,” that the chaigei made
ageinet him by our Ex-executive Refugee,
in hie recent addrete from bis Canadian
quarters, to the people of Georgie, ore
unqualified errors. He says that erery
part of hie evidence before the Investi
gating Committee, which Bollock states
is false, is corroborated by other wit-
1, or proven by letters from Bullock
which be heanow ia his poeaeeaion.
Hs state* further that he is entirely
innocent ot any frand whatever, and
that he hoe no fears of not being able
to prove the same,
Hr. Harris is decidedly facetious in
his comments on the flight of “the greet
innocent.” “How is It,” he asks, “with
our quondam Governor? He oioime to
be right—in feet the great apostle of
right; bat without any charge being
brought against him, flies from hie
Gubernatorial chair; flics from liiaBtate;
flies from hie country, and seeks pro
tcclion under the mgie of the British
Lion.”
This is interesting, ooming as it does,
from the pen of one who has ranked sea
ma'eat least, in the Radical Crew, that
soI 'Ug pirated thetreasary of the State.
But. the moral reflections, at the oloee ot
his Utter, make a literary treat, which
wr would never here expected from Ihe

t qua ity for the bouth.
Choose ye wisely, Democrats!— Atlanta ConslUu
Hon, iVev. a, 1872.
1. II the Democrats act “wisely,"
as it ig to bo hoped they will, woald
they not do well to inquire how the
election ot Mr. Greeley can possibly
metn " the overthrow of Centralism and
BouibeiEorprcraion?” Hare tbeSoutb
ern people ever suffered any oppression
of which Mr. Greeley was not one ol the
obief insligutors and perpetrators ?
Hare the people of the Southern
Statos suffered any "oppression” from
“Centralism” since the war, exoeptsuch
os tho Powers at Washington deemed
accessary “for tho maintemnee of tbe
equal rights of nil the inhabitants of
these States, ia matters pertaining to
their civil and political relations ?
Did not Mr. Gr.cleyaud his associates
aecm all those " oppressions,” of which
we so justly complained, as notbiog but
tue necessary results of a faithful dis
charge oo their part ol a high “and sol
emn constitutional obligation 7”
Does he not note ask tho votes of
Georgia Democrats with a distinct
avowal, on his part, of the same “sol
earn Constitutional obligation” resting
on tho “oentral authority” to renew all
these oppressions in the future, and even
worse, if it should be necessary in the
discharge ot tbe same obligation 7 We
put these plain and direct questions, not
only to the Condituhon, but to all reason
ing and “ trite” Democrats. If these
things be true, theu we ask further, how
can the election of Mr. Greeley possibly
be expeoted to effeot tho overthrow of
“centralism and Southern oppression ?'
We address ourselves to ths calm judg
ment of reasoning ss well as patriotic
men.
Is not tbe doctrine of Hr. Greeley, si
annonneedby himself, that thero is suoh
a “constitutional obligation" resting
upon the “oentral anthonty,” ths very
essence of “centralism,” in its most dsn
geroas end odious form 7 Doe* not ths
Constitution oi the United States itself,
in expresn wotds, forbid any suoh inter
ference with the internal affaire of the
States 7 Are not all these matters per
taining to tbe political and civil rights
of the inhabitants of the several States
left by the Constitution exclusively to
tho States themselves respectively 7
Host assuredly they era;' and every as
sumption of power by the central aa-
tbority under Hr. Greeley's erroneously
asserted “constitutional obligation,” is
nothing but a gross and palpable usur
pation. He asserts that it is the consti
tutional duty of the oentral authority to
do just what the OoaaUtution itself as
serts it shall not do.
0*a“CeuU*li*m"jM«»t'i<y be overthrown
by indorsing the unconstitutional prin
ciples on which it seeks to establish its
permanent osaendancy 7
Oh, Democrats I would that you were
"trim" in this day of yonr greatest peril 1
“Principles end results, influitely be
yond all individuality, however surpass
ing," ore indeed “at stoke 1” Principles
involving the very foundation ot til onr
free Institutions in their tallest and
broadest extent, not only for the present,
bat for all time to oome I
Bo much tor the prospect of getting
rid of “Centralism” and “Southern op
pression" by the election of Hr. Oneley
to the Prosidsney. Wo hare had enoagh
of hia “goods” in the past Hay Heav
en preserve ns from any more of the
same sort
2. Now, a few words in reply to the
‘biasing” assault o! the Constitution
against what h'termed “onr glaring po
litical inconsistencies,” in supporting
Hr. Adams for the Vioe Presidency. On
this point we hare bat e few words; for e
few only ore necessary to show the ntter
groundlessness of the charge.
The brief, clear, fall and aonclaslve
answer is, that whatever may hare been
Mr. Adams’ views upon the “ New De
parture" question, or on any other on
which ws may have differed with him,
he, nevertheless, sots stands equarclj
upon the principles set forth in the
Louisville O Conor Platform. ThatPlat-
forin ia a clear and explicit embodiment
of ths ancient Jeffersonian Creed, with
out any indorsement of sny sort of
“Departure” therefrom. It arrays itself
in op< n antagonism to tbe “ Mew De
parture " doctrines set forth iu the
CinoinnsliBaUimore Platform.
If then we support Mr. Adams, stand
ing, os be now does, upon this platform,
wherein is our inconsistency 7 Here we
not uniformly, ever since we took charge
of the political columns of Tbb Box, de
clared oar willingness to support uLj
candidates who should stsud upon any
platform which did not “ depart” from
tbe ancient creed ot the Democratic
party, and which did not "sanction"
the gross usurpations ol tbe Radical
party since the war for the Union was
over 7
While we all the time announced it os
our judgment, tbat the best polioy for
sucocss, end that lice whioh would in
sure i», was t>'e open and bold arraign
ment ot these nsuipations for popular
condemnation Yet we have uniformly
declared, as every attentive reader of
Tbb Sub mast know, tbat wo would, for
harmony’s sake, yield this view, and
snpport any candidates tunning upon
any platform which did not “depart”
from tho essentials of tho old Democratic
creed, and whioh did not sanction these
late radical atrocities, at d close tbe door
against tbeir future arraignment tor
popular condemnation I
Is not this the unassailable truth of
onr position all tho time 7 Ia support
ing Mr. Adams now, are we not, there
fore, supporting just such a man, ou just
such a Platform, os we have ever said we
were willing to do, if the line of policy
we thought best should not be adopted 7
Tbe Constitution, in the foregoing ed
itoral, speaks of the oharaoter of tbe a.'
tions of “an intoxicated cricket.” We
have given no attention to tbat depart
ment of Zoological Srience. We know
nothing ot how these “little innocents"
behave when “in liquor.” But we respect
fully submit to tbe intelligence of man
kind, whether any one who sees inc insist
ency ou our part in this particular oase,
hare much more of the reasoning facul
ty snout him than might bo expected,
even of a cricket “ three sheets iu the
wind I”
8. One other matter only in the fore
going editorial of tbe Constitution (which
is given in run; we win nneny notice, and
then will have done with it. “In tne
“ first place,” (it says) “ the Condilulion
“ has never advocated the New Depart-
“ure. Wo defy Mr. Stephens to quote
“one word from its columns m advocacy
“of tho Now Departure.”
What does the Conslituliou mean by
this defiant challenge ? Let u* under,
stand each other. What does tbo Consti
tution metn by the New Departure ? Let
us first understand esch other on this
print.
What tee moan ly the “Now Depart
ure” was the proposed policy of certain
leaders of tho Dt mocratio party last year
to oease ail opposition to the Radical or
ganization on account of the usurpa
tions attending reconstruction; and to
aooept their results “aa finalities," con
stitutionally accomplished, never more
to be inquired into, or arraigned before
the public for condemnation. This is
wbatwe understand by tho “New De
parture" dootrine, or polioy, so-called.
With this understanding, does the
Constitution presume to defy us to show
from its columns, its advooacy of this
doctrine or policy 7 If so. we hare but
to refer to what has appeared in its col
umns almost doily for the last two months
at least, in laudation of the principles of
Mr. Greeley, which are therein held up
os the embodiment of “ Constitutional
ism 1" What else does it mean in this
very editorial we ore commenting upon,
by what it styles the “ heroic self-abnega
tion" ol the Democratic party at Balti
more, but an indorsement of their “new
departure" in this particular, from their
own to a Radical platform 7 Has not the
Constitution so advocated the Cincinnati-
Baltimore platform 7 If it has not so
done, or did not so mean to do, or to be
•o understood, then we are in error, and
do notaocept the challenge.
The trath and rignt are what we aim
at ic all things; bat candor oompcls os
to say that we have understood the Con
t'Mulion as maintaining that the Cincin
nati-Baltimore Platform, as ezpoundsd
by Mr. Oreeley, is snoh a declaration of
principles as should not only satisfy all
true Democrats, but in itself embodies
the essential ideas of Constitutional
ism against Centralism.” Are we oorrect
in this understanding or not? Under
the belief that we are, let ns tarn to that
embodiment of “ Constitutionalism” so
adrooated, as we hare understood, by
the Oanetitution,
The preamble of the declaration re
ferred to, is in these words:
-Ws, tba Liberal BarnbUcaDS of tba Doited
States. Is National Convention ssssmbl, d nt Clean-
lull, praotelm tbs tallowing prlEdptas an nnsantlal
s Just fOTernaaent.**
Among other principles so anncuuocd
essential to a “Just government,” the
following ia set forth:
than that it stands'ontlrely upon differ
ent principles.
But the important pointiu ths decla
ration is the “pledge” therein given “to
oppose any re-opening of the questions
settled” by the so-called 14th and 15th
Amendments.
These questions, ao declared to he
“settled,"’dud not to bo reopened,
spring from principles asserted to bo es
sential fora “justgovernment, though
they involve all the usurpations, outrages
and oppressions perpetrated by the Re
construction measures. The pledge,
therefore, so given is tho dear expression
of tho substance and essence of the
“ New Departure.”
Now, whether the advocacy of this
Platform, with tnis pledge in it, neces
sarily carries with it the advocacy of tbe
“New Departure,” even without express
words to that effect, we leave for tbe
public to deeide.
We can only give it ns onr individual
opinion tbst it does,—and venture ths
farther opinion that such will be tbe
“sober’' judgment of a mijority of man

i of > iir articles to which It rs-
thsir alien pt to sustain themselves in their
estimation, in tho moat palpable errors, as well as
ao eaamplo of a strong man laboring to extmnte
himself from a morass Into which he has ventured
without understanding the grounds on which he
was emeriti/. Every effort at extrication, only
plur.ges him i.i deeper.
It attempts to be tacetlons, sueaks of our “Iboo*
bereut uttcraucas," “raving. * “wild sojlioquya,*'
etc.
Now. are do say, In all candor and possible courte
sy, that Mr. Btepbens’ causi must on weak indeed
when ao powtrful and ready a controversialist aa
hlmsell is compelled to drop argument, and even
the prrtenco to it and resort to such matter s < forms
tbe staple uf his article. If there 1* a po.nt In it <
which to bang a rejoinder, we tail to discover It.
Our article tbat hs refers to shows, by actual
comparison of lla expressions, that Mr. Jefferson’
Inaugural, tbs Daltitnure platform and Mr. Greslsy’i
acceptance of the noinmavion on it, and Mr. bte-
phen's great speeoh of 18(10, contain the
does not tonoh the matter. He does net show that
we quoted wrong or that onr deductions were
reel. He avoids the argument and attempts a
ot Lj‘play ou our bewilderment. If thi. is tbe
treuilty to which this able statesmat Is driven,
there le s significance about it that It is ueedlees for

when Its beat champion thus advocates its cause.—
Atlanta Constitution, November 1st, 1872.
Now, i. our neighbor siuoero iu what
ia said in the' foregoing editorial ? Did
we not olearly show that he did not
quote Mr.. Greeley correctly when be
represented him as holding tbat the
righta of the citizens of the several States
were to he eDjoyed under his platform,
subject to tho Constitution 7 Did we
not clearly show that he woe in au egre
gious error iu representing Mr. Greeley
as being in favor of “ local eelf-govern
ment, subject to Federal supervision?”
Was thero nothing on these points in
our artiole “on which to heng a
joinder 7”
If not, what must be the conclusion ?
Is it not that no rejoinder eoald be ven-
turcu upon which would not make mat
ters worse ? Nay, more; was there noth
ing in onr denial of the correctness oi
his quotation from our speeoh beforo the
Georgia Legislature iu 1866, which re
quired a rejoinder, If only to the extent
of admitting his error in this particular?
That quotation was in theeo words:

without question, oar country; tbat its Conatii
had been re-ordxlned as tbe organic law of theUnd,
tbst the trial of secession had settled the question
as to where our slleglancs belonged; that ths UnW
ted butes was our country to be cherished and de
fended as vuch, by all our hearts and by all our
arms; that the Constitution of the United States,
and the treaties and lawa made in pursuance there*
of, are now acknowledged to be the paramount law
of this whole country. 7 *
Now, wc assert that acutiuieuts ore in
this quotatiou attributed to us, whioh we
never uttered, either on the occasion re
ferred to, or on any other. Disjointed
expressions of that speech are here re
produced in a connection which give
them a meaning never intended by us,
and whiah no one would derive from them
as they stand in their proper couneotion
in the epeeob.
We never on any occasion uttered the
sentiment as it here stands stated, that
“the trial of secession had settled tbe
question u to whom onr allegiance be
longed.” Nol never I The great labor
of oar life since tbo war was over, bas
been to establish the trath that tbe great
question to whom allegiance properly
belongs under oar system of govern

Yesterday morning several of the pas
sengers on the Memphis * 'Charleston
Railroad met with a narrow escape from
a terrible death. The passengers, eight
in number, were aboardtturstsepliig oar,
“City of Memphis,” ia charge of s con
ductor and porter, when, os the train ar
rived st Stevenson, n Mr. 7. F. Carle,
who was accompanied by hi* wife and
two little children, discovered the ter
rible danger to whioh they were exposed
and aroused tho porter, who, os also tbe
oonduotor, was asleep. Tbe passengers
were then horridly aroused and escaped
en dishabille, and by the time they had
all gotten oat tho fire had spread so
rapidly that the flames were ooming oat
of ths front door. Harried toilets were
made, bat so fierce were the flames that
none oonld re-enter the oar, and only
saved what they took out with them
when first awakened from their sleep.
In addition to Mr. Carle and bis chil
dren mentioned above, were CapL Joseph
Jaqaes and bis niece, Mils Sue Ayres,
and two geutlemen from Louisville. Mr.
0. and children lost a portion of their
clothing. Oapt, Jaques was more fortu
nate, preserving bis pnsenoe of mind,
and saved everything he had; Miss Ayres
lost a portion ot her wearing apparel,
and the gentlemen from Louisville were
still more unfo-tanato, losing several
valuable articles they were carrying to
the State Fair at Columbia, 8. 0„ and
one of them nil his money, $175, which
he placed ander his pillow for safety,
and forgot it in his hurried flight.
As soon as the passengers left tbe burn
ing car, Captain Jaques hod it pulled up
to the tank, but there was no water, and
finding that its loss was inevitable tbe
car was pushed out of tho way and left
to its fate. The canoe of the fire is un
known, bat it originated at the rear end,
sway from the store. There seems to
have been gross.oorelessness on the part
of the conduotor and porter, who. in
stead of looking after the safety of the
passengers, oaimly slept while the car
was burning.
A collision occurred at Oxford, on tbe
Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad, on
Thursday night, between two passenger
trains, resulting in the. death of two per
sons. Oxford is ihe point where tho
trains pass, bat owing to some unknown
cause tna train first arriving ran past tho
depot when it was run into by the other.
