TUESDAY SEPTEMBER l. 1874
Read tho nrticle on the “black ele
phant" which wo copy from the New York
Herald—a paper that keepe remarkably
well informed.
Hon. John A. Hknderhon baa bean
nominated aa the Conaenrative eandnlate
for Congrona in the Firat District of Flor
ida. There are 22 counties in tho Dis-
trict, and the Conaerratives have strong
hopea of carrying it.
Gen. Eppa Hunton, not “(4eneral" (so
inia-titled; K. M. T. Hunter, is the Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress in the
Eighth District of Virginia. General
II unton was a gallant Confederate officer,
is now a Congressman, and ia said to bo a
man of ability. But we would be de
lighted if the Booth oould send a few men
of Hon. It. M. T. Hunter’s eminent tal
ents to the next Congresw.
Still another new comet is announced
by Coggia, and has been found by Prof.
Kwift, of liochester, N. Y. He says that
on the morning of the 2fith inat. it was
about Ave degrees north of east of tho
seven stars in the constellation Taurus—a
point which any one can easily recognize
early in the morning. This comet is
quite faint, and is moving very slowly ap
parently. Prof. Swift is unable to say yet
whethor it is approaching or rcccdiugfroin
the earth.
Colonel Jack Brown denies that ho
made tho speech, accepting the Radical
nomination for Congress, which the Hum-
ter Republican attributed to him. Ho
also denies that the Radical Convention
which nomiuntel him passed any resolu
tion in favor of the Civil Rights bill.
But he does not deny that he has accepted
the Rudicnl nomination, or that tho party
whoso candidate ho is favors tho Civil
Rights bill. He does not even say that he
is opposed to the bill. There are several
other denials in his letter, but they aro
merely critical, and do uot affect his posi
tion.

The freight report we published re
cently, os given by a New York paper, hss
cruised much feeling among our mer
chants and others into rest od in transpor

assures ua tho report was inaccurate, and
gives us the following as the freight
schedule to Columbus from Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, which

Waroerhee.
As wo intimated on Sunday, the terri
ble aud bloody “confliot of racea" at
Wacoonhee Valley, Ala., has turned otit to
bo auother story of “three black crows”—
it was only something “ as black as a
crow." Nobody was killed, or even hurt
much as far as ascertained, aud only ono
church was burned.
In the present excitable stato of the
public mind, such difficulties ore almost
oertain to he exaggerated. Iu this
“By every tongue It itpread, In every mouth It
grew ;
1 who h
id all n
until it assumed tho proportions of a
fierce battle botweeu the races aud a
bloody rosult. Wo have received dis
patches from sovornl cities—ouo from
New York—oskiug for all the particulars
of what is regarded as tho Arst real bat
tle of the war! Wo are glad that it
turns out to have had results ho trifling
compared with those at first reported,
though we have yet to learu whethor
thero wah uot really a dangerous con
spiracy against the lives and property of
tho whites, frustrated ouly by timely
revelations uiada by somo of tho blacks.
ot n NEW DR EMM.
To-day wo come beforo our readers
with a now dress, and we are vain enough
to boliovo that the Enquirem-Sun looks as
well this morning ns any of its cotompo-
raries iu the State. When we assumed
ckaTgo of tho ENgmuKii, six toon months
ago, tlio circulation was very email, aud
the paper was literally ou its last legs.
Owing to the hard times our monetary
success has boon small, yet wo have strug
gled on; and to-day there are but two
papers iu the State with a larger circu
lation. The boast seemed vain, and
somo of our brethren of the proas
sneorod at us ns braggarts when
one year ago wo announced our ju-
teutiou to work on till wo made our
paper tho largest in the South. Despite
the hard times, wo hnvo quadrupled (he
circulation of tho DaUy and addod over
two thousand to tho circulation of tho
Weekly. This, however, is small work
compared with our aspiratious; aud we
propose to keep tho original desigu iu
view till wo win. To-day our weekly
issue is twenty-sevou hundred, uud our
daily larger tbau many of our moro preten
tious neighbors. Iu the last two weeks we
have obtained three hundred uud sixty
new subscribers, and they ure still coming
in at tho rate of tweuty-Avo a day. This
has been achieved by bard, honest work
and tho expenditure of time and money.
Wo havo tried to make a good newspaper,
one fearless for right and independent iu
all things, and our efforts have been ap
preciated. Never before has Co.
lumbus had a journal of which she
had so much reason to be proud.
Never beforo have our merchauts bad such
an opportunity to present their business
to the people. What we have done, is
bat an index of what we propose doing,
if wo bo sustained by those whose inter
ests are allied with ours. Columbus is
destined to rise, aud having liuked our
fortune with hers, we propose to rise with
her, and ever to be found in the van of
her progress.
—The Atlanta Herald does uot believe
tbst Gen. Toombs expressed the third
term sentiments attributed to him by the
psporter of the New York Herald.
THE OUTRAGE AT UNION
NPRINUM.
We have at lastau aggravated case fully
and squarely viulative of the Enforcement
or Ku K!ui oct. There is no doubt that
in ihiH cam u political conspiracy was
formed, tbst its ot*)** -t was to deprive cit-
zeua of their political rights, that violence
and intimidation was naed to this end, and
that the conspiracy was successful We
refer to the affair at Union Springs, Ala.,
eh stated by J. T. Rapier, negro Con
gressman of Alabama. He says
that although every county in the District
had sent delegates to Union Springs in
favor of his nomination, a crowd of bul
lies of Judge Busteed’s wing of the Radi
cal party, go.ug from Montgomery for the
purpose, took forcible control of the Con
vention, demanded of him a writtcu
pledge before they would permit his nom
ination, and forced him to make it in order
to prevent bloodshed, which he says would
otherwise have been the result. Now, wc
ask, what are the casual and unpremedi
tated “Ku-klnx" acts of a few Demo
crats of tho South, that have been so
severely punished by terms in the Albany
penitontiary, compared to this deliber
ately planned aud savagely executed out
rage upon the political rights of the peoplo
of a whole Congressional District? Deni
ocrats have been rigorously and relent
lessly punished for alleged interferences
with the political rights of individual
Radicals ; hut in this Union Hprings
the right of fifty or sixty thousand per
sons to representation in Congress was
obstructed for a time, seriously threat
ened, and at last only conceded at tho
price of a corrupt and slavish pledge.
Both law and political privilege wero
trampled down by a conspiracy formed
for the purpose of extorting by violence
and torror what it had failed to secure by
the froe expression of the popular will.
It is not stated that Judge Busteed waa
personally eugaged in this melee. Ilis
little pistol, aftor doing its work in
tho ladios’ car, might have been
resting on its laurels, uncocked, in
the hack pocket of his piutaloons.
But tho Ku-Klux job was undertaken in
his interest and executed by bis partisans.
And ho is the executor of the Ku-Klux
law in Alabama—tho Judge to whom is
entrusted the prevention and punishment
of all aggressions upon tho political rights
of oilizous! If his retirement from the
bench (we had liko to have said which he
disgraces, hut we don’t know about that)
not a neccmty previous to this freak,
it must be so now. But we have no doubt
that ho has long since resolved on resig
nation ; that ho desired a Congressional
nomination to enable him te retire in bet
ter order, und failing to get that, he will
now havo to retire in great disorder, as
well as with the disgust which he pro
fesses. But will he be permitted to escape
by resignation ? That is now a question
which interests the whole country, und
we hope iu a few days to receive an indig
nant response of no from evory part of it.
freenaiT^witiidrawn !
Wo were’considorably surprised oil find
ing the following card in the Atlanta Her
ald of Saturday .
To the Voter* of the Fifth Cong national
Diatrict:
Gentlemen—Being absent in attend
ance upon my public dutiea in Washing
ton, and returning only a day or two he
fore tho Congressional nomination at Grif
fin, 1 was not nwaro of the public senti
ment and aspirations of others for tho
office, or 1 certainly should not have con-
seuted to hecotno a candidate. My pre
vious raoo was not induced by any person
al ambition. 1 desired simply, by the ad
vocacy of couaervative opinions, to quiet
tho troubles of the oountry, and contrib
ute something towards restoring tho pub
lic peaae aud general prosperity. I was
prepared at any moment to retire from
public life when 1 found myself nim
ble to promote efficiently those ob
jects, and there has been no part of my
whole life so painful as that which has
boon marked by difference of opinion and
judgiueut ou public question! between
myself and my friends ; and no mortal
man can doubt my fidelity to what I con
ceive to be the best interest of my peoplo.
Tho present canvass iu tbis District, it is
evident to all, will bo marked by angry
uud vituperative controversy, for which I
am neither prepared by taste, feeling or
profession ; aud, while I feel grateful to
my party friends for their unswerviug
support ’ I cannot, consistently with my
porsoual relations, frioudly associates and
private interests, continue in what seenm
to be a strife of epithets aud abuse—in
which 1 would be obliged to sacrifice too
much for the accomplishment of so little
good—and have, therefore, upou duo
reflection, determined to decline a re-
election.
I am, respoct fully,
J. G. Freeman.
Mr. Freeman has beeu playing the
game of Cobb of North Carolina, and an
electioneering tour through a few coun-
tios of the District sufficed to allow him
that he would meet the fate of Cobb. He
explained bis vote iu favor of taking up
tho Civil Rights bill by saying that he
wanted it taken up and amended by strik
ing out the mixed schools provision. But
his constituents looked boyond tbis, nud
desired to know why ho wauted tho bill
taken up at all unless ho was iu favor of
its paasugo; whether ho would havo
votod for or against it with
mixed schools stricken out, aud
whether ho would go back to
Washington as its unqualified sup
porter or opponent. It will bo soou
that these wero embarrassing questions to
put to a candidate who had Houston coun
ty with its throe thousand negro voters
at ouo end of the District, and Decatur,
with its 1,500 whites at tho other end.
Frecmau could not please both wings of
his party by a decided stand eithor for or
against, aud both factions helped to push
him off the fence. In addition to tbis,
Mr. Johnson of Griffin, upon whoso can
didacy he had relied to draw off Demo
cratic votos from Candler, hod withdrawn
from the cauvass and declared his support
of Candler. This, probably, was the last
and finishing push which Freeman re
ceived, and he fell over on the “conser
vative" side of the fence.
opinion the Radicals will run either Wo.
M. Markham of Atlanta or Joel R. Griffin
of Houston county—probably the former.
Markham, we suppose, is opposed to Civil
Rights, and ’Griffin in favor of that bill.
The election of Mr. Candler may now
be regarded as almoat oertain
WHY RENTE ED QUIT IN DlftUUAT.
The following is the answer of Judgo
Busteed to a letter from Col. I). B. Troy,
an able Democrat of Montgomery, pro
posing a joint discussion of political
questions before the people. Mr. Troy
in bis letter had offered
guaranty of “absolute protection to every
man. black, white or mixed," who might
attend their discussions. Busteed, it will
be seen, bases bis repudiation of the ac
tion of tho Radical Btate Convention of
Alabama upon the trick by which a few
white office-seekers got control of it—a
performance which we have already taken
occasion to speak of.
Judge Busteed replies to Col. Troy :
Montoomebt, Ala., Aug. 28, 1874.
Cal. H. S. Troy.—DzkU Hie : I ain in
reco:pt of your favor of the 24th instant,
asking whether, at some convenient time,
I will consent to a public discussion of
the issues involved in the approaching
election.
It would he entirely agreeable to me to
discuss the political issues iu the manner
you suggest, if I designed taking part in
the coining canvass. I do not so intend,
however. My physician, your esteemed
townsman, Dr. R. F. Michel, advises lue
to loavo the South for the present. This
I will shortly do.
And to nlace it beyond the power of
the ignoble or the uucandid to attrib
ute my declination to some undeclared
motivo, I will add that, even if my
health permitted, I would not take
Any part iu the contest. The Repub
lican Convention recently held in this
city, was not, in any true sense, au expo
nent of the Republican idea, or a repre
sentative of the better clans of the Re
publicans of Alabama. It was put to
gether precisely as a piece of machinery
is put together, to secure a pre-ordained
result. As is note apparent, its principal,
if not its ouly object, was to secure to
certain persons a continuance in
offico. It wah dominated aud ran by a
i, who, wearing the garb of a United
Htates .Senator, is universally recognized
as the political luaua nature* of the period.
Of the persons composing it some sixty
were Federal office-holders, whose liveli-
hood depended upon their obedience to
the orders of exacting and merciless dem
agogues.
Discussion was arbitrarily and insolent
ly denied to a respectable and intelligent
minority, and “tbe previous queston"
sprung and carried whenever the wire
pullers thought freedom of speech might
coufuse their plans.
Profanity and blackguardism went nu-
controllud by tho Chair, to he applauded
to tho echo by a Senatorial huckster, and
his hirelings. For the most part, the as
semblage was a gathering of tyros in
politics, paupers iu intellect, and affiuenta
in profligacy. 1 challenge its right to
spouk for the Republican party, and feel
myself at liberty to aocept or repudiate
its doings as my own senso of duty and
propriety shall onjoin.
For these reasons, und because I utterly
reject the doctrine that principle may be
sacrificed upon tho altar of expediency,
or be overborne by sordid, or postponed
for selfish considerations, I shall take no
further part in tho proximate political
struggle.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Riouaru Buhtked.
A Good Business in “Rations."—It is
currently reporlod in this section that the
rations—“bacon ouly”—which were ap
propriated by tho Federal Government
for tho benefit of tho “inundated" of the
Bigbeo and Warrior rivers, have beeu sold
und tho money divided among ihe faith
ful. It is said that Billings, recently mur
dered and robbed iu Sumter county, was
in possession of a considerable amount of
this fund. Tho sums of money that he
displayed at tho negro mooting on the day
preceding his death wero doubtless part
of the ratiou money.—Demopolia (Ala.)
