POB CONGRESS—FOURTH DISTRICT,
HENRY li. HARRIS, of Meriwether.
FOR REPRESENTATIVES OF MUSCOGEE,
Thos. W. Grimes. Wm. P. Williams.
The Democrats of Bibb county, on
Friday,*nominated Hon. Thos. Hardeman.
Hon. A. O. Bacon, and Hon. D. D. Craig
for the Legislature. The nomination was
made by ballot, and a largo vote polled.
Jeff Bums, colored, one of tho Floyd
county convicts to the chain gang, was
killed a few days ago at llidge Valloy Iron
Works, while at work under ground, by
the dirt failing in upon him. Another
one was badly hurt, but not seriously.
Tint report of tho death of Badger,
Kellogg's Chief of Police, was a mistake.
The New Orleans papers say that he ap
peared to l»o improving on Thursday,
though he refused to submit to the ampu
tation, of a leg, which tho physicians de
clare to be necessary.
The Athens Watch not n says it is re
ported that Hon. Joshua Hill will shortly
deolurc himself on independent candidate
for Congress in the Ninth District. Other
reports say that Mr. Hill has declared liis
determination not to run. His republi
canism is of the moderate kind, and Josh
Hill is a gentleman in any party.
It is to be hoped that the native whites
of Louisiana, during their three or four
days’ possession of the official records of
that State, oblninod documentary proofs
of the corruptions and misdeeds of the
Kellogg government—proofs that will
convinco tho country of the intolerable
character of tho usurpation which they so
signally overthrew, and which tho Fed
eral Administration is now trying to re
store by military power.
R. W. Carpenter was tried last week,
at Blacksbear, for the murder of his
nephew, Walter L. Colo, in March last.
Tho facta in reference to tho murder, as
far ns known, have already boon publish
ed. . Cole was found dead in the woods,
!>etwoen his and Carpenter's house, and a
neighbors *, bloody shoes and pants were
found in Carpenter's house, ami ho came
into possession of considerable property
by Cole’s death. The evidence v
circumstantial. On Friday tho jury
brought iu a verdict of guilty.
The Montgomery Journal gives a ro-
port of the Democratic meeting hold on
Friday night, to determine what action
would ho taken in regard to tho drilling
by negro military companies at night.
The committee appointed to investigate
reported thnt tho facts had boon much ex
aggerated, and some of tho extravagnnt
statements were duo to tho possibility to
wards each ojhor of tho two Radical fac
tions iu the city ; Hint though one com
pany of negroes with u few arms did drill
oftou at night, and two others without
arms, there was no danger of any riot be
tween the whites and blacks. But they
recommended, us a precaution iu the in
terest of peace, that night drilling by
both parties be discontinued.
The New York Herald has for a woek
been calling for a National Convention to
consider the Southern question, iu the
interest of peace and reconciliation. A
Washington dispatch to the Now York
Hun says that Froaidcnt <•rant not only
favors thy movement hut instigated the
writing of the editorial articles iu the
Herald. It referred to uu editorial of the
Washington National Hepubliean (Ad
ministration paper) of tho 12th inst., as
showing that it had “wheeled into lino."
The llepubliran of the Kith, noticing this
statement of tho Sun, says : “If tho Sun
will look closer at what wo say, it will
find that, while favoring tho convention,
we differ in toto from tho premise* of the
HeraldIt docs not notice the state
ment of the Sun thnt General Grant in
stigated the Herald's articles.
The Montgomery, Alabama, papers of
yesterday represent tho distribution of
bacon to tho overflowed ns actively pro
gressing. It was being distributed only
to negroes—no whites making applica
tion. The form of petition required was
probably framed with an eye to excluding
from tho distribution any man who was
unwilling to swear (in a suggestive way)
that he was a tmfferor by tho overflow
and could not live without souio of the
bacon. The following is the form of tho
petition :
Hon. Holland Thompson. Commissioner:
Your petitioner respectfully represents
that he (or sin*) is a resident of Beat No.
—, county of •Montgomery, in proximity
to the overflowed lauds. JVtilioner fur
ther represents thnt he is in destitute
condition, and is compelled, by necessity, *
to ask assistance of tho Government.
The Advertiser says that hosts of ne
groes who presented this petition did not
live within fifty miles of a river that
overflowed.
A Dastardly Outrage.—Tho Augusta
Chronicle of Friday gives particulars of
the murder of two negroes iu Columbia
county, yesterday reported by telegraphic
dispatch. If the accounts given by the
Chronicle are true, tho negroes were mur
dered in cold blood, without causo or
provocation, and it »« hard to account for
the brutality exhibited on any other sup-
position.than that the white men were mad
dened by liquor. It is proper to say.
however, that tho only report at hand is
that made by a negro man, who says that
he was forced to go with the whites in
their search for the negroes who had sto
len the cotton. Not finding them at a
a negro house which they visited, they
fired at and killed an old negro man who
opened the door for them and stood with
the door bar in his hand, which they
might have taken for a gnu. No reason
whatever is given for their shooting tho
woman—wife of the negro man who gives
the account. The Chronicle says :
“The citizens of Columbia county are
very indignant at tho uu’rage. They con
demn such proceedings in the most un
measured terms and are determined to
ferret out the perpetrators and bring them
to justice. Measures will be taken to so-
cure their arrest as soou as possible. It
is thought by many persons that they arc
not citizens of the couuty, but come from
a distance."
THE UVAOWXED BOND*.
Home of tho papers are calling for an
extra session of the Georgia Legislature
to amend the nineudiucut of the State
Constitution, now pending, in reference
to tho bogus bonds. It is said that the
amendment is ho worded as not to innlud
over five millions of dollars of tho bonds
which the Legislature intended to he
eluded. Gen. Toombs made this charge
in his late speech nt Atlanta, and Major
Hillyor, who drew np tho amendment res
olution, admitted it, but said that he
wrote tho amendment hastily while tho
Legislature was acting on tho subject, and
did not discover its defect. The amend
ment, as udopted by the Legislature at its
last session, repudiates the “Bullock en
dorsed railroad bonds," but thero are other
issues of bonds not covered by this de
scription, and which the Legislature con
detuned as “bogus.” There were $ 1,500,-
000 iii bonds endorsed by Treasurer An-
gier ; $l,ffiK),000 lithographed bonds of
Bullock’s, gotten up haHtily for immediate
ami temporary use, for which $1,800,000
of engraved bonds were afterwards issued,
but both issues were kept by Clews «V C<£(
ami $000,000 of the Macon &. Brunswick
Railroad bonds not embraced iu the
report of the Bond Committee.
The orror charged and admitted is a
ii ions one—-the result of precipitato leg
islation. \Ve have, however, a condem
nation of all the bonds mentioned bv leg
islative investigation and action. This
action and the general concurrence of the
people iu it afford assurance, we think,
that the bonds unintentionally b ft out of
the amendment will not soon bo assumed
by any Legislature. \Vo doubt whether
there will lie twenty representatives in the
ilex* Legislature in favor of their pay
ment. Tho proposition to assume them
is too unpopular for upon advocacy even
by the Radical party. This being tho
case, we hc-o no necessity for precipitancy
in tho mode of correcting an error caused
by previous precipitate action. This is a
kind of legislation of Hindi a peculiar
character as to call for calm, deliberate
and intelligent action ; and oven if the
Legislature could now ho convened and
have time to net on the subject during tho
brief remnant of its existence, such hasty
action in an extraordinary session might
be regarded with suspicion outside of the
Btnto.
Tennessee.--There is olio Bout hern
State, at least, in which tho Radicals are
making u square tight for the Civil Rights
hill. That State is Tennessee, in which
Horace Maynard tins been nominated
the Radical candidate for Governor, *and
a resolution in favor of “civil rights"
adopted. In tho Congressional Districts,
however, the Radical candidates uro plac
ing the same dodging game that they nro

yesterday has been received, aud refoi red

the Western District of Tennessee for a
report, as then; is now no official informa
tion of the proceedings here. When his
report is received, I will give
you • a more definite answer, or
have tho Attorney General do
so. I will state, however, that it is
very gratifying to know that the State
authorities of Tennessee ore disposed to
suppress and punish a class of lawless
acts, so dangerous to life, nml so opposed
to every politics], financial and moral
interest of tho State.
The constitution makes il my duty to
enforce the acts of Congress, and Con-
gie.ss has passed laws giving the United
States jurisdiction in such cases ns aro
referred to in your dispatch.
No special order has been given to the
Federal officials in Tennessee further than
the circular of September 3 1, of tho At
torney General, which is general in its
nature, and contains instructions to all
Marshals and District Attorneys, wherever
violations of said acts may occur.
I will add that the Slate ami Gofiernl
Government**, as you are well aware, may
have concurrent jurisdiction over the same
offense, as, for example in cus s of coun
terfeiting, and tho action of the State mi
llionths in such cases docs not prevent
