Wo recoivo the nomination of lion.
Henry R. Harm for re-election to Cm-
gross with much satisfaction. Only |>'*r-
sonal regard for townsmen who have at
different times been candidates for the
nomination, prevented our expressing a
decided preference for him. We have all
tho time helieved that Mr. Harris, because
of his extensive acquaintance and the ac
ceptability of hia service in the present
Congress, was the strongest man before
the people, and this belief finds verifica
tion in tho action of the Convention. We
must now drop all personal preferences
or prejudices and lshor for his election.
We can elect him triumphantly hy union
and activity, and we are not prepared to
believe that any Democrat in the District
will bo found lacking in either when
threatened with military surveillance and
the Civil Rights bill. All together now
for Harris!
One of tho Eufaula negroes, w ho swore

A dispatch of tho 7th ii»Ht. from Little

This is a little nearer than Halls, which

The Augusta papers of Tuesday pub
lish the letter of Hon. A. H. Stephens
accepting his nomination for Congress.
Ho says that he was profoundly and grate
fully affected hy the houor, cordially ac
cepts it, and will, if elected, serve the
people of tho District to the utmost of
his ability.
The New York Tribune of the 0th,
spoaking of the reported disorders at tho
South, Nays that tho President may have
information not yot divulged,hut that “to
the unofficial eye no proof of the existence
of any such conspiracy has yet boon dis

have taken their share of them, and i

come to hand has tho disorder sprung
from politics.”
“INTIMIDATION.**
One of the pretexts of the white Radi

that the negroes were •‘intimidated” by

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
MOUTH ERN UOTTON MIEI.M.
We have noticed with much gratifica
tion tho fact that nenrly all the cotton
manufacturing establishments of tho
South havo been enabled to continue in
active operation during the depression
and stagnation of trodo.following the punio
of last fall. Few of them hud roBervo
funds, and many of thorn hud only recent
ly commenced operations ; Home were in
debt for muchiuery contracted for before
the panic ; yot wo find that most of them
were able to run longer time thnn many
of the older and better established mills
iu the North aiul of England, with their
externivo trade arrangements long estab
lished. We regurd this crisis as one that
tried tho oajucity of tho South tor compe
tition v ith uuy country iu tho world iu the
rnaunfa -ture of cotton, ami tho result as
demonxtr ding the superior mlvuiitagc.s
for this industry possessed hy our section.
While wo always hail confidence that
the localities in the South within the lim
its of the “cotton belt”—and especially
those possessing good water power—were
pre-em nently adapted to tho profitable
manufacture of the staple,
among themselves at these meetings are
frequently reported—witness tho scones
at their conventions in New Orleans, Hel-
mn, and Union Springs—hut if these were
attempts hy one faction to “intimidate"
the other, the Democrats were in no way
responsible for them. There has not
been the least disturbance or conflict at
any Democratic political meeting held iu
the Month this year, but everything has
boon conducted with a decorum and tem
perance contrasting strangely with tho vi
olence exhibited at the meetings of the
U idiculs who charge the Democrats with
being the party of disorder and strife.
The scones enacted and threatened in the
Radical nominating conventions in the two
Districts of Alabama nearest to ns—we do
not have to go far from home for exam
ples—ore sufficient to show which is tho
party «>f passion, violence and “intimida
tion.'' >). T. Rapier, the negro nominoo
iu tli i Second or Union Springs District,
has already explained the manner of his
nomination in a published letter. He
says that a large party of armed roughs—
n it Democratic, hut Radical ronghs, of
tho Busteed faction—took control of the
convention and would not permit his
nomination until they “intimidated” him
into the signing of a degrading and cor
rupt pledge. He says that there would
have been hloodshod if ho had not thus
compromised liis political rights and those
of his supporters. Now, did anybody
ever heal* of stieli a thing being don©
at u Democratic convention, or of Demo
crats forcing Radicals to do such a thing
at their conventions?
Tho Radical convention of the Third
or Opolika District adjourned without
making any nomination for Congress. It
is currently reported that there were Rad
ical bullies of two factions or personal
divisions in attendance on that couven
tion, and that there would have lion a
violent conflict between thorn if a nomi
nation had been attempted ; therefore it
was postponed. Did they “intimidate”
ach other, or did they only agree to a
truce, each hoping to recoivo n. informs-
mouts that would “intimidate" the other
when they re-assembled ? We shnll see.
We published figures, yesterday, show
ing that at the lust election iu Aluliama,
the negroes iu some of their strong coim-
tios voted to the extent of one in every
l.j of their population ; while in strong
wliito counties tho white vote was only
about one iu nine. Was there aiiy “in
timidation" of the negroes at that elec
tion ? l)o not these figures give the most
emphatic contradiction to the charge that
could possibly he givou ? Again, regis
tration for the election is now going on in
Louisiana—one of the Stntos most clam
orous for Federal soldiers to prevent
Democratic intimidation—and tho daily
reports show tbut in New Orleans, where
tho whites outnumber tho negroes,
tho negroes are registering three of
their color to every white man
Does this show liny “intimidation.”
of the uogrooH in Kellogg’s own State?
On the contrary, at least one instance is
already reported in which tho negroes
there have nsHuultod a white niau for reg
istering, and other instances of negroes
fraudulently registering: but no act of
violence or unfnirness is charged upon a
single white mini.
There is one kind of “intimidatiou”
that bus been extensively prevalent at the
South ovor since the entering wodge of
“reconstruction." Dr. Maull, a Radical
leader, oucouraged it in a speeoli which
lie made to his party in this city in 18118,
when he told tliom that they ought to use
the raw-hide or the hand-snw on any no
gro who attempted to vote tho Demo
orutic ticket. It is notorious that it
many parts of the South to-day it would
ho dangerous for n negro to vote the
Democratic ticket, und that is the only
kind of political “intimidatiou” really
prevailing at the South. If tho Attorney
General is iu earnest iu his nmuipulut
of troops so as to seoure a fair and free
election, ho will find in the corroctiou of
this abuse a proper field for their opora*
tion.

THE CONSERVATIVE VOICE OF NEW YORK.
A prominent citizen of Now York visit
ing the President yesterday spoke in
strong t4jriiiK of tho dangers that might
arise from the continued political oppres
sion of tho Southern States, not only po
litically, but financially. Although u Re
publican und u warm supporter of the
Administration, he could not bnt foresee
that the corruptions of the carpet-bag
governments, such us in Louisiana, and
ttie disturbed condition of society m the
South generally, xmt-t end in bankruptcy
aud repudiation in many of the S uthom
States, which would m an financial disas

President's attent

the Southern Stabs, and did not hesitate
to declit o that, while lie might not be
willing to wholly indorse tho IfernUl'n
views, h » i©cognized broad statesmandi.p
at their foundation.
President Grant, in reply, expressed
himself as personally in favor of extend
ing generous aid to the South, lie had
always thought that the great crime of
the rebellion should have been forgotten
ah soou as the Union was restored, and
his friends hy putting on any airs of su
perior virtue. Ah ! there are tides even
in Vermont. Even in Vermont people
iiear of things aud discuss them, and
havo opinions of their own. And so the
other day when they bad au election, they
said by a very striking and significant
vote : “Judge Poland, you are doubtless a
well-meaning man. you did not suppose
that tho people whose clothes you held
were about to stono Stephen, but you,
dear old brass-buttoned patriot, you
ought not to be exposed in places where
people obviously know tnoro than you do
and impose on your good nature. Stay

THE CONDITION OF THE SOUTH.
The Pio.idont expressed himself
as sincerely desirous of leaving
tho Southern States to take care
of their own political affairs aud
of non-interfercuco on the pirt of the
Federal Government. But what was he
to do? The fact of the existence of law-
leanness and violence in some
of the States is undeniable,
lteputablo men and officials of high
standing come forward and represent
that peace cannot he preserved and life
protected without the aid of Uuit<vl
States troops. To bo sure their state
ments would not ho sufficient to warrant
intervention. Tho constitution and tho
laws declare the circumstances under
which the Federal Government shall in
terfere in the affairs of a State; but pre
liminary orders and tho lnovomout of
troops aro legitimate and proper, “and
my nope,” said tho President, “is that
the morui effect of the presence of troops
in Home localities liny render their active
use unnecessary.” Under the representa
tions in ado to tho President by Southern
citizens, and tho facts brought officially
to his knowledge by the Attorney General,
ho believes ho should bo guilty of neglect
of duty if ho should neglect tot.ike stops
for tho prevention of tho threatened
evils.
the attorney general’s p art is AN SUIT’.
Tho fact is that the President is not
wholly satisfied with the Attorney Gene
ral and does not tliuuk him for his hot
zoal. Williams professes to have a very
complete spy system nil over tho South,
and he presunis to tho President reports
from his emissaries which show that uu
exteusive conspiracy against tho Union
exists iu the Southern States. Some ot
tbeso secret service uiou piotoiid to tho
knowledge of plots for the extermination
of all the black race und for the assassi
nation of all Federal office-holders, hut
their accusations are of a general charac
ter mid they always fail to give explicit
information. The Attorney General be
lieves them, nevertheless, and :s rabid ou
tho subject of Democratic disloyalty. His
fierce partisanship luis already led the
President into many scrapes and is likely
to produce further trouble. President
Grant knows that “Williams needs to
1)0 driven with a tight rein,” aud hence he
is anxious to get hack to Wa-hiugton. lie
does not approve of the publication of tho
Washington dispatches, or of the tone
tho Attorney General evidently desires to
impart to the nows in regard to the South
ern movements, lie has expressed th<*
ho'iof that Williams would he well pleas d
lo rush him into extreme measures if he
could, and on this account will lie all the
nmro caution * iu his action. H sides, the
President does not whoby roll-li the idea
of all the Southern deh*ga ions rushing
off first to Williams und securing his alii
mice before uink iig their attack on head
quarters. For some r« ason or another tho
Attorney General seems averse to allow
ing any Southern politicians to reach the
President’s ear befoie he has heard their
opinions and compared notes with them
himself. “I had to go to Washington
first to see Williams," said one of these
Southern delegates to ino a day or two
since; “It was useless my seeing the
President until 1 had made it all light
with Williams. ” ‘l ho President is not n
man to relish this power assumed behind
the throne*
