8PXDAY. SEPTEMBER 0, 1874.
Hmik Comm.—The Democrat, of
on Taa*day, nominated George
Kttpatrick and Henry Mona at their can-
didate* for Bapreeentattaea.
A fatal conflict between official* in
Jasper oonnty in reported, without partic
ular*. Sheriff Key ahot Hr. Jenkins, Mar-
Hud of Montieello, on Toenday last, in-
dieting a mortal wonnd.
Th* LaGrouge Reporter says that there
are 500 white men in Carroll oonnty who
hare not voted since the war. *That must
not be the case this year, when the Civil
Eights bill it impending, and bayonets
are to overrun Georgia.
Cou Hl.auohtxb. of Villa Hies, is the
Democratic nominee for the Senate in the
Distriot Composed of Tronp, Heard and
Carroll counties; and James H. Fannin
and E. D. Pittman have been nominated
aa the Democratic candidates for the
House in Tronp oounty.
Tn Montgomery Advertiser makes this
eapital hit: “Thorn were only eighty ne
groes in the oonnty jail at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning. The negroes refuse to
aaaoclate with the white trash, and, con
aeqnently, have the jail and guard house
entirely to themselves. A palpable vio
lation of the civil rights bill."
A pbivatf. letter from Pensacola, re
ceived in Mobile on the 3d inst., say* that
the excitement in that city over the yel
low fever has almost entirely abated, and
Bo apprehension of its spreading or he
coming epidemic is entertained. The
letter renews an order for goods counter-
toanded on account of the fever alarm.
A la Box crowd of negroes went to Do-
tnopolis, Wednesday, to get the bacon
appropriated by Congress “for tlio suffer-
era by overflow." Home got a little, hut
a great many went away without rations.
The opinion was, at Demopolis, that llays
didn't make much political capital out of
the rations that day.
Texas Cotton.—Galteston received for
the year just dosed 333,990 bales of cot
ton. The total roceipts of all the Texas
ports were 389,620. As Texas does not
receive any cotton from other States, and
a considerable portion of her crop is sent
direct from tbo interior to New Orloans,
Shreveport and Ht. Louis, it is obvious
that her production is largor than the re
ceipts at her own ports.
On the 2d inst., a dispatch reoeivod iu
Washington from New Orleans, stated
that registration bad commenced iu Lou
isiana, and that “an openly avowed exter
mination of all Republicans bod been in
augurated!" The order for military oc
cupation of the Houth was issued immedi
ately afterwards. If any Republicans
have yet been “exterminated,” except
th' S* who got up the negro insurrection
at Coushatta, the news bos n§t been ro-
oeived here.
Close 1Un**!—The Federal Attomey-
Genersls army orders for the Honth
ought to be the death-knell of all so-called
‘‘independent" Democratic candidates
among ua. Thoy ought to heal all divi-
aions and personal schisms in our ranks,
and unite us in the firm resolve to triumph
over the bayonet us well as tho Radical
force* at homo. The people of tbo South
have no time or energies to wasto upon
inch aide issues now. Let us close ranks
to meet the despotism ttmt confronts us.
The Radical accounts of the Coushntta
affair, sent to Washington, stated that
Ihe trouble arose from a demand made by
the Democratic whites that the officers of
the oounty should surrender thoir offices ;
that they refused, and were thereupon
taken prisoners and afterwards shot.
Bat the New York Tribune of tho 2d
Inst , with all the reports before it, hhvh :
“The negroos, incited by white rneu,
draw the first blood, and a mob of whites
bad their revenge in the luwless and cruel
fashion of ill-governed Htatos." True,
BO doubt; and who is responsible for the
111-government of LouiNiaua ?
D. M. Nelson, who has been nomina
ted aa the Radical caudiduto for Congross
in the 3d (or Knoxville and Chattanooga)
District of Tennessee, is the man who
killed the bravo and laiuonted Gen. Jus.
H. Clanton. He was nominated on the
day when army orders were issued at
Washington to scatter Fodoral soldiers
over the Houth because of the lawlessness
and violenoe of the Democratic party!
We understand that the nomination w
secured for him by trickery and violenoe ;
that another candidate, on one of the bal
lotings, received a larger number of votes
than Nelson got on tho last balloting, and
■till it was ruled that this other candidute
did not get votes enough to givo him the
nomination. He will probably oppose
Nelson. But a Democrat will bo elected
in any event.
Registration in Now Orleaus is pro
gressing—about three negroes to one
white man registering so far. which does
not show much “intimidatiou" of the
negroes in Louisiana. On 1 hursday a bit
of a rumpus occurred in (he Tenth Ward
A negro boy, apparently not more thau
Sixteen or seventeen years of age, pro
aented himself for registration, claiming
that he was over twenty-one. Kellogg’s
registrars were willing, but Capt. Flood,
the United States Supervisor, objected,
and wanted to enter a protest ; Kellogg's
tools insisted, and refused to allow the
protest, and Capt. Flood started to leave
the office. The registrars then sent for
the Attorney General, and he decided the
negro should be registered with Flood's
protest. And thus the matter w as com
promised.
The Opelika Tima is alarmed at the
prospeot of Sivanuah and Columbus get
ting the trade of its city. It says that
“Savannah and Columbus papers are filled
with advertisements of tbeir live busi-
neat men, showing their facilities and in
citing trade.” It is true that some of the
live business men of Columbus have
adopted this course to extend their busi
ness and that of their city ; but if all our
business man were to follow their exam-
Pk. the protests of the Times would do
Bo good. Opelika would have to submit
graoefully to the lost of her trade. Bnt
we are not trying to alarm the Times.
We have no assurance that all our busi-
Bess men contemplate this raid on the
trade of Opelika.
—We learn by a private telegram that
J. C. Stanton will to-day take possession
of the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad
aa Trustee of the first mortgage bond*
holders, under the order made a few daya
ainoe by Jodge Bradley, of the United
ikatea Supreme Court We presume the
road will be shortly sold under the tei

Ceaety Taxation for (Schools.
School Commissioner On has sent to
the several County School Commissioners
of the State au important circular, de
signed to elicit opinions as to the propri
ety of autborixiu* local taxation fur the
support of pnblio schools. He wants the
County Boards of Education to give him
tbeir opinions before the meeting of the
Legislature, so thAt they can ho laid be
fore that body. His proposition is tin t
a special act he passod authorizing th**
Boards of Education of the severs! coun
ties to levy a tax for the support of schools
in their respective counties. He would
have the amount limited by law to a cer
tain per centum on property ; and ho atig-
gests that the constitution be so amended
as to increaso the poll tax for school pur
poses to three dollars. The proposed
special tax should be submitted to the
popular vote, and levied only afier
ratification by the people.
The Commissioner has prepared a tal»!u
showing the amount of tax on each oue
thousand dollars worth of proporty, nc.-v
esKury to be levied in the several coun
ties iu order to raise iu each n local
sohool fund 04110] to that roceivod from
the State in 1H73. For the counties iu
this section the following rate would bo
roquired : Museogeo 39c., Murion $2.66,
Harris $1.06, Talbot $1.60, Chattihoo-
eheo $1.59, Taylor $1.03, Stewart $1.30,
Troup 90c., Randolph $1.17, Quitman
$1.33, Meriwether $1.00, Houston $1.33.
The ruto required would bo lenrt i
counties containing the cities of
State, and they range as follows : Bibb
49c., Cliatlmu 27o., Fulton 46c., Clarke
42c., Floyd 79c., Spalding 80c., Musoo-
gee 37c., Dougherty 00c., Sumter 88e.,
Richmond 31o. It will ho seen that Mus
cogee is second in tho ascending scale.
Her tax would bo only 2 and 7-10 mills
on the dollar.
The circular closes as follows:
“Lot not the Boards decline action ou
tho question herein presented, because of
the pendency of the Givil Rights bill.
Let them givo their views of the ques
tions on their merits. I do not heiiove
that tho Civil Rights bill will ever be
pased. Should it over become a law, I
have in my mind a plan of testing its va
lidity, which will probacly prevent its
being put into practical operation, and
without risk to the (Statu agents of the
school system. This plan will be given
in duo time. When it is definitely deci
ded that mixed schools are to bn forced
upon ns, every tme Georgian, inolmhng
the most ardent friotida of public schools,
will array himself against the hihLgiu
itself."
Wk nre glad to Ami tho New York Trib.
une, the oldest and ablest Republican
paper in tho country, protesting against
the hasty condemnation of tho Houth
upon the ex part*’ testimony of Radical
officer-holders and office-seekers. \\'o
published yesterday what it had to sny
about Senator Patterson and bis false
hoods. Here is a brief allusion which it
makes to the reports of Spencer and
llayes: “Senator Spencer and Represen
tative Hayes, both of Alabama, are ready
to sustain Senator Patterson's testimony
to the terrible slate of affsirs in tho
South. If those stories of 4>utragcs are
truo, it is really unfortunuto that tho
news should oomo North only through
such bitter partisans, and it would ndd
much to tho weight of their cvidenco if
the datos and scenes of the disturbances
were given more circumstantially.
Whether true or false, we niny expect
charges of conspiracy and disorder to
come thicker and faster until overy State
has hold its fall election. In the mean
time nothing cun he lost by carefully
weighing overy statement from the South
via Washington, and reserving judgment
until its credibility is established or over
thrown,”
Wk find iu the Montgomery Advertiser
Homo admirable resolutions adopted by a
colored Conservative Club in Montgome
ry, which we will copy in a day or two. The
club now numbers 38 colored voters, and
is growing daily. Its resolutions de
nounce tho carpet-baggers and the South
ern Radical party in terms severe, but
just and true, and declare that the mem
bers of the club will support tho Demo
cratic tickofc
Tho Huntsville Advocate (tho Rudical
paper of North Alabama) says that “over
200 cohired men of Madison county have
so far forgotten their duty to their rnco ns
to sell themselves to the Democracy.”
Tho Advocate is edited by a white man,
who has evidently forgotten that he owes
any duties to his race !
Things are moving lively in Alabama,
and in the right directiou.

Sitnp.VBPOBT, September 3.—Additional
information, of u reliable character, fully
confirms Major Stephen sou’s statement,
and gives additional pnrticu'urs of tho
Coushatta affair. The shots which wound
ed'Dickson were tired from Twitchoil’a
house, where Doweos, Edgertou, Twitch
ell, Howell. Willis ami Holland were con
gregutod with 11 party of negroes, all
armed. Mr. Dickson had conversed with
them a few moments before they shot
him. Conversation was far from violout,
ami the assault without the slightest pro-
vocution. A number of negroos who
camo into Coushatta after the troubles
to surrender their anus and ask the pro
tection of the whites, stated that Twitch-
ell and others of the nbovo named party
had furnished them with arms and ammu
nition. and told them tbnt the timo hud
come for them to strike for their rights.
A respectable white lady above Coushatta
was approached by a negro, who drew his
pistol upon her, cursed her. and told her
that the negroes intended to kill every
thing iu the country tliut looked white.
The miscreant escaped. Everything quiet
iu lied river at last accounts.
[Twitckell, Do wees, Edgertou, Howell,
Willis aud Holland were the persons cap
tured, and some of them afterwards shot
by Texans. ]
Tb« “Color Mnp "
Tho Nashville Cnion and American
says some now deprecate the “color lino"
m Southern politics as though it wore
something new, whereas it is notorious
that from the day the blacks were enfran
chised they have voted to a man on one
side and against their home people. In
every ebction the negro vote in counted
on as a uuit, while white ineu split, and
Long-treets ami Moshys are found to fa
vor Orantisui. Whatever political divi
sion there has been outside of the “color
line,” baa been among the whites alone.
We do not regard the negroes as primarily
responsible for this condition of affairs,
but rather tho Radical emissaries who
have been sent hither to recons'ruct tho
South according to Puritan ideas. It is
the Republican party which has foiiud its
profit in sedulously cultivating and pre-
serving tho “color line" among us. That
party aloue is responsible for it, and is
to-day laboring to intensify it by the offer
of social equality to the negroes. This
class legislation, based on race and color,
is a direct bid for divisiou on tho “color
line," utterly regardless of politics.

11V O.VE FUSEES.
In our perambulations last week we
again met our old o n 'ju dntanoe from Tal-
lopoosa county, Alabama, whose name we
will give an Squire Oak Fuskee, aa he had
lived at one time in that place, known as
the white man’s precinct in the “Banner
comity.*’ We will try to use his language
as nearly ns possible, in telling his story :
Thar waz a crowd uv felleiz, a set tin

ville, wun hot summer evenin', whar it'

The Slats Tax Return*.
INCREASE OF $80,(106,317 OVER LAST YKAR.
Below we give tho aggregate valuo of
of the taxable property ot the entire State
for the presout year, as well ns tho in
crease over last year. These returns are
taken from tho books in the comptroller's
Hire. They make a very flattering show-
ing for tho State, and reflect much credit
upon the efficient management of the
present comptroller, Hon. W. L. Gold
smith. It will bo seen that during his
administration there has been an increase
iu the taxable property of the State of
more than tw enty-nine millions of dollars.
This increase is duo mainly to two can-
s. First, the repeal by the Legislature
tho $200 exemntion clause. This
muiisure was earnestly advocated by Mr.
Goldsmith, upon tho ground tbnt it in-
nil the amount of taxable proporty,
listrihuted the hurdeu of taxatiou more
pinlly among the people, and prevented
a great many frauds.
Second, Tho rigid instructions which
were issued from the comptroller’s office
to the various tax receivers requiring
i to he especially careful in having
property roturned at its true valuo.
The increased rovonue of this year will
go far towards meeting tho first install
ment of tho Nutting bonds, and may pos
sibly leave a surplus to bo applied to the
payment of tho interest on the balance.

We remember John ns nu ante-bellum
Solicitor for T dlnpoosa, nn a Confederate
cavalry captain, as correspondent of Ben
Wood's Democrat, as a lively Republican
when his elbows wero out, as Radical State
Printer and Solicitor lit Montgomery, as
runner of a lottery where all tho prizes
wero nover heard of, an an eloquent advo
cate of Grant's second term, and ns whis
key gauger down iu Florida. Whon we
saw from tho newspapers that the
immortal Stokes bod been appointed
whiskey gauger in Florida, we expected
that wo should never more hear of
him. Lo ! and behold ! a committee arc
sent by Congress to visit the grave of
Martha Washington, with a view to erect
ing a suitable lnouiuuent. Who should
be standing over lliat grave, receiving
those Congressmen with emotion and
wiping liis eyes with a red bandanna, ex
cept—the immortal Stokoa ? Are we
never to be done with Stokes ? Here he is
again. The West Point (Miss.) Times
says :
“On Monday last. Col. J. G. Stokes, of
the Postal Department, caused Wiu.«U.
Rose, deputy postmaster at this place, to
be arrested on tho charge of purloinitig
letters from the post-office here. Au ex
amination was had before U. S. Commis
sioner Dalton, when such facts were de
veloped against the accused that ho was
required to give a bond in the sum of
$1,000 to appear before the U. S. District
Court at Oxford at the December term,
in default of which he whs committed to
jail."
Tho idea of John G. Stokes being a
Government detective aud actually hav
ing postmasters arrested for swindling, is
oue of tho things a fellow cannot under,
stand. But still we have implicit coufi-
deuce iu republican government.—Mobile

upou the hurricane roof and offared op a
