COM'MHI'N. AAA. I
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 1874
It ia rather at range that the raimt of
Saturday and Sunday nighta, that no
greatly awaited the Chattahoochee at tbie
place, did not cauae the leaat riae in the
Alabama at Montgomery.
Gbr. Butler haa put an end to all anx-
lety about hia course in Maaaachuaetta for
this year, by declaring himsolf a candidate
for re-election to Congreaa. It ia aaid to
be aimoat oertein that he will hare opjn>.
aition from hia own party for thia posi
tion.
Tnx Montgomery Adrrrtisrr aaya, in
reference to the diatribution of that bacon
stolen from the overflowed cofferers*.
“The lateat ediot ia that only a limited
amount will be iaaued, and all that to the
leaders, until the week before the electiou.
The negroee had better go to work, and
wait patiently until that time."
Ws learn from the Texaa papers that
Mr. Charles Morgan baa already perfected
arrangements for digging lhip channels
through Bolivar bar, Hedflah bar and Mor-
gaa’s Poiut, and widening Buffalo bayou
so as to make it practicable for seagoing
vessels to penetrate as far as the city lira
ita of Houston.
Thk attention of ahippera of gooda to
this point ia called to the advertisement
of the Central Railroad. The article
copied from a New York paper and pub
1iahed in our Kun lay iaaue was an injus
tice to that corporation, aa all know.
There ia no reason for tho Central Hoad
to ignore Columbus, and an error ao gross
we wish to correct to the fullest extent.
Tho only change in our announcement of
yesterday ia in rates from Baltimore to
thia point. Heo advertisement.
Mrs. Bans Moiuun, wife of E. J. Mor
gan (whose death in Tennessee was lately
reported to uh by a letter signed Jas
Corbitt) haa exhibited to ua a letter from
Morgan to her, to ahow that the letter re*
oeivod by ua, signed Corbitt, waa really
written by Morgnn himself. The hand*
writing ia the same, or remarkably aimi
lar. Mra. Morgan indignantly repels the
words “or woman,” contained in the let
ter, aa an imputation upou her married
relations. Thoao words were interlined
in the letter when received by ua. Rhe
thinks that the ohjeot of the letter ia to
atop proceedinga for a divorce threatened
by her.
Thk Montgomery Advertiser gives a
portion of tho teatimony of Holicitor
Locke, of Kufatila, in the caae of aeveral
citizens of that place now under examina
tion at Montgomery. Mr. I^ocke is a Had-
ical officer, and has had the best opportn*
ties for observing tho official conduct of
Judgo Keils and seeing into the motives
which govern him. The Advertiser ro-
ports him as saying in hia testimony,
“that Keils would manifest partiality in
the trial of causes, and would side with a
negro or ltadioal against a white man or
Democrat. Ho further said that Keils of.
ten did things in his judicial capacity
from which ho, as Solicitor, dissented, es
pecially in tho matter of taking bonds
from prisoners. He also said that Keils
insisted on putting men on the Radical
ticket for office in Barbour county against
whom indictments for crime were pend
ing.
A dispatch of tho 28th ult., from
Washington, represents Attorney-General
Williams as aoyiug, “it ia a significant
fact that in all the disturbances and con
flicts between tho two races, the negroes
are the ones who Always suffer, a fact
which satisfies him that they are not the
aggrossors."
How does the Attorney*! tenoral recou-
oile thia conclusion with tho fact that by
far the greater portion of tha late politi.
cal disturbances at tho South—by far tha
larger number and more atrocious acts of
violence—have been committed in exclu
sive Radical meetings, in which the Dem
ocratic whites took no part ? There has
been more rioting and bloodshed in the
late Radical tttate Convention of Louisi*
ana, the Congressional Convention of the
same party at Selina, Alabama, the South
Carolina negro riots at Georgetown, and
tho disgraceful Ku-Klux affair at the
Union Springs Radical Congressional
Convention, than in all the so-called
“conflicts of races” in the entire South
during the ssuio period. Who were the
“•88 reRHon » * n these exclusive Radical
meetings and rows—thero being no Dem
ocratic participants '* Can the reasoning
aud intelligent men of the country be
gulled by the hollow pretence that the
parly which cannot conduct even its owu
exclusive meetings and conventions with
out fighting aud rowdyism is the party of
peace at the South, aud always the party
assailed uliou difficulties occur between
them aud the Democrats ?
I’oiigrennlounl Xoiutuatlwna.
'the following are the nominations so
far made by the two political parties in
Georgia *.
First District—J. E. Dryaut, Radical.
Second District—W. E. Smith, Demo
crat; R. II. Whiteley, Radical.
Third District—Jack Brow n, Radical.
Fifth District-— M. A. Candler, Demo
crat; J. C. Freeman, Radical. [Mr.
Freeman has withdrawn.]
Sixth District—James H. Blount, Dem
©crat.
Ninth District—Garnett McMillan,
Democrat.
lifch to-day, be correct, they ought to ad-
unni nit 'be two races at the South of the
itnproprie’y and danger of haaty action
upon exciting reports. The oondition of
•ociety at the South at thia time ia auch
aa may be termed ticklish. There ia no
doubt that there are designing politicians
extremely deairons of getting up such a
I state of affairs here aa would lead to Fed
eral intervention by military power. The
recent events nt Enfanla, Ala., and the
hundreds of letter* from various parts of
the South which, we are told, the Attor
ney General of the United States ia daily
receiving, all unmistakably disclose thia
purpose. It ia the interest of a certain
class of politicians to bring about thia
state of affairs, and past experience teaches
ua that with them the peace of society
and the liberties of the people are aa
nothing compared to the ogive* which they
crave. It ia at thia tima a fact too appa
rent for concealment that thia party will he
badly beaten uoleaa the South ia again sub
jected to military role. The time has
passed when they could demand the help
of the bayonet and get it on the simple
demand. That practice proved to be too
heavy a “load" for their allies at the
North, and it bad to be discontinued
lint they still hope that they can get up a
condition of affairs at the South that will
justify the kind of interference which
they desire, and this is just what they
are working for—working upon an igno.
rant, excitable and prejudiced race, whom
they have heretofore pushed into many
troubles, and then left their dupes to take
the consequences.
One great trouble with these office
seeking mischief-makers now ia their lots
of control over the unbroken negro vote.
They have so shamelessly swindled and
deceived the negroes, that many colored
voters will no longer support their white
candidates. The trick of overcoming the
large negro majority in their party by
giving a dozen Republicans in white
counties as large a representation
in conventions aa a hundred black
voters in negro counties, is pro
duoing much dissatisfaction; and
the grasping by the white Radi
cals at all the piping county office*, while
they are willing to allow the negroes the
empty honor of seats in the legislature—
os a mere “tub to the whale”—has split
the party in quite a number of tho strong
negro counties—we believe in all of them
in the adjacent section* of Alabama.
Something must be done to restore tutor.
11ination among the negroes, as well aa to
disgust aud discourage the whites; and
they look to military intervention as the
only thing likely to accomplish both these
ends.
As a matter of polity, then, aa well aa
justice, the great body of the white people
of the Houth ought to avoid entering the
trap that is set for them. We believe that
one of the best modes of frustrating tho
designs of the raiachief-makera is for the
whites and blacks, who desire peace and
non-intervention, to come to a totter un
derstanding with each other. We believe
that this can bo brought about by confer
ences conducted by prudent men. Let
such conferences, at all events, be sought
bo fore hasty action upon any exciting
re|H>rts. It may be that thia ia the quick
est and surest way to unmask the disturb
ers of the peace of the Booth; but, wheth
er it avails to break the allianoe between
these men and the great body of the ne
groes or not, it will at least be the per
formance of a duty whioh the stronger
and more intelligent claae owe to a com
munity atill embarrassed by serious polit
ical and social difficultiee.
THE “BfMAGEB” AGAIN
We asked the question before, for we
are very ignorant of the matter, but why
ia it that the negro, or the “nigger," ae
he is elegantly styled, should take upon
himself all the fiendish qualities just be
fore elections ? One of two things ia
certain: the negro ia an inoaruate fiend,
restrained only by fear, or some white
tuen are deliberately lying about him like
thievee. Now we do not think the negro
is any better, or any worse, in morals
than white men of equal intelligence, and
wo think that in industry and the love of
hia superiors he ia a very large fraction
above any race we can call to mind at
this time, and we apeak with a pretty
good knowledge of tho world. Aa wo re
marked once before, the South would be
a howling wilderness without the negro.
While uumorica ly smaller in the South
ern States than the whites, he does more
than his portion of the work, and
wherever he has been well treated
ho has made a good, reliable servant, and
this ia the evidence of the beat Southern
men. Prejudice, however, ia working
against the poor black man, and it seems
to us astounding that this prejudice
should have auch a strong hold iu the
hearts of the ex maatera. Even the boys,
white boys, nine out of ten of whom are
as ignorant as the negroes, and less in
dustrious, talk iu our hearing every day
about the number of negroes they can
kill in the event of a war of raoee. Men
of the South, by your oouree you are
ouraiug your own land, and by your prej
udice you are uot only antagonizing the
negro, but you are keeping away tabor
aud oapital. Perhaps it ia not polioy to
talk plain, but it ie alwaya polioy to be
right and we do not care about the loss of
subscribers, or the gaining of them
when justice ia to be considered.
It is simply disgusting to hear a whiskey-
soaked creature, who never earned an
honest dollar, howling in hia brutish way
about the morals of the negro, yet you
and 1 hear it every day, and we can glance
about us and see the evidence in the
ahadee of negroes that speaks of the whita
man's degradation. Thia is simple truth.
Why, to marry a negro woman would be
an unpardonable tin on the part of a
white man, yet there are white men in
this town who should have married black
women rather than oarry on the lives of
them gentlemen. How many white meu
are killed in the “so-called" negro ri
ots ? We have heard of none so far, but
we do know that negroes are killed,
murdered, by the pistoled bravos who
claim to be the oonservaiots of Southern
pc tee. WaciMM'fcee Valley ia heard of
through the Union to-day; yet the story
of the riot there was as mean a lie as ever
a frightened white man concocted. Did
you ever hear of negroes taking a white
man out of jail and hanging him ? Yet a
few days since, in Tennessee, a band of
armed ruffians took silteen negroes out
and killed them—murdered thorn. And
yet in oar churches we invoke God’s Ides
sing on oar land. Gentlemen, we are
doing wrong, and this Mouth will become
a shriveled, paralyzed limb of the Union,
if we do not change. The negro is igno
rant ; he will lie and steal, and the former
ia a terrible crime where veracity is a
peculiarity of the whites. Negro women
are immoral, you say; but who has tried to
elevate them. The carpet-bagger haa
made the poor black man a tool, but, had
the Houthern whites acted prudently, they
might have made his vote a valuable so*
quisition. A few years ago it would be
criminal to ask that the colored race bo
educated, yet the future of thia country,
depends largely on their intelligence, and
they should be working with the Month-
era whites instead of against them. Ig
norant and confiding, it ia not to be won
dered at that they attached themselves to
Radical adventurers, when they were ig
nored by their ex-master*. The negro is
surely working against his own interests
now, bat be is honest in his belief, and it
behooves us, with all patience, to put him
on the right trsok and to ahow him that
the interests of the men who own the
land ia the same as the interests of those
who work it. The ignorant cry of “a
war of races" is frightening inen away
from the South, and capital never squints
in this direction, nor will it come till we
show that labor and capital here are in
harmony. Every vicious rumor of insur
rection ia a blow at the Mouth, and yet
every loud-montbed fellow who spreads
the rumor boasts about hi sbeing the friend
of the Mouth, when, in truth, he is its
meanest foe.
Were we less the friends of the Mouth
we might encourage the lies that are now
daily circulating about the negro, but we
know that to spread them is to court the
evil we pretend to dread, and more, it
frighteus away peaceable men, whose aid
would be of more service than the mere
county success of either ticket. We have
written fully to Northern journals about
the so-called war of races, and have de
nounced the rumor as a lie—a trick of
mean Democrats and lying Republicans.
C.
('•■•kalla, Uaiilaaa.
Allusion is made in our telegraphio dis
patches to the arrival in Texas of three
turbulent men, who had been driven from
Coushatta, La., and of their treatment by
the Texans. The New Orleans pApers of
Sunday bring us accounts of the troubles
at Coushatta, and thus we get the begin
ning of the story. A dispatch from
Shreveport, 2iHb, reported that 800 armed
negroes were near Coushatta, advancing
the place ; that the whites had in the
town 200 men, calling for help; that re
inforcements for both parties were gath
ering from the surrounding oountry; and
that a conflict could not l>e delayed later
than that night. No meution ia made of
the origin of the disturbances. A later
dispatch of the same day aaid
that the trouble was over; that the
white people have effected the arrest of
the following ringleaders, and hold them
in jail uuder a strong guard : F. M. Eger-
ton, sheriff; H. T. Freehell, tax collector;
Clark Holland, register ; R. A. Dewees,
tax collector of DeSoto parish; Gilbert
Cane, depnty sheriff ; W. F. Howell, at
torney, and six leading negroes. These
arrests left the negroes without leaders,
and their company was immediately dis
banded. Two negroes and one white man
were killed, and one white man seriously
wounded.
Consbatta is iu the Red River region,
not far from Colfax, aud is about forty
miles from a telegraph station. The
blaoks of that region outnumber the
whites about three to one.
The Texas sequel remains to be veri
fied, aud we have yet to learn of the dis
position wade of the other prisoners.
B. W. MBORING.
Our waders will remember that about
six weeks ago, Mr. E. W. Mooring shot
and killed bis brother-in-law, Mr. Nichols,
at Marianna, Fla. Were we atunied that
this apparent crime was the result of
malioe, we should follow the course wc
have heretofore pursued, and denounce
the act, while we shouted for justice. We
wet Mr. Mooring Wat winter, and he im
pressed ua at the time as a gentleman of
culture, and of more than or dinar)* poetic
taste. He waa the last man we would
accuae of being a desperado : for there
was nothing of the rough or swaggering
braggart in his manner. The news of
his crime astoundei us, and we sought in
vain for a pretext to excuse him. Until
recently we have entertained the idea
that the killing of Nicholls was the result
of deliberate malice, for we could not
otherwise account for the act. Recently
we have been written to by a gentleman
of undoubted veracity who knew Moor
ing, and he has solved the inexplica
ble problem by giving us evidence most
conclusive of the insanity of Mooring,
and thia misfortune has tainted his
family and comes to him as an
inheritance. We deeply regret the death
of young Nichols, but we question if
Mooring, if be has regained hia senses,
does not lament it more than any man
that lives. A short time before the kill
ing, Mr. Mooring furnished to our journal
an original poem, showing the most ex
quisite taste, and believing be is not an
Eugene Aram, we are forced to the con
clusion that insanity waa the cause of his
terrible act, and that justice should con-
aider it through the eyes of mercy and pity.

We find in the Montgomery State Jour
nal a communication signed “Republi
can," addressed to the “Republican* of
the Second Congressional District of Ala
bama,” which advises them uot to anp-
port Rapier, but to bring out a new Kadi
ical candidate. The writer opposes IU
pier on the ground that, having made a
pledge at Union Springs, he now repudi
ataa it. He contends that inaamuoh aa
Rapier's nomination wan secured by his
giving tbe pledge, and as Rapier now de
clares his purpose to disregard it, the
nomination is no more binding on the
party tb*n the pledge is on ltapier. This
seems to be a logical way of putting it,
but the morality of the propositions is not
as clear as their logic. Tho truth is that
both Rapier and the Busteed paity were
disgraced by the coveuant, and the honest
peoplo of the District ought to condemn
all concerned in it. Tbe conduct of the
Busteed party was the grossest outrage on
the political rights of citizens yet commit
ted in the Mouth; And Rapier's plea that
he had to sign tbe pledge to prevent
bloodshed is utterly untenable, because
he could have stopped all conflict by with,
drawing from tbe contest for such a nom
ination, and thus have preserved his in
tegrity and personal rights, as well
those of hia supporters. As the case now
stands, he is a compromiser of right and
independence for the selflsh purpose of
getting a party nomination and perhaps
an office.
