So the Radical cry that Prohibition was what de feated them in Ohio this year won’t hold water. It is as thin and spurious as Ohio whiskey. The Democratic majority in Woat Vir ginia is shown by fuller returns to be of much larger proportions tbau the first reports represented. Tho Democratic ma jority in tho First Congressional District is 10H, in tho Second C,r»00, and in the Third about 8,000—total 14,0011. In the Second District tho Radicals supported an independent Democrat, Mr. Botelor. Tho Democratic Congressmen elect aro II. Wilson, C. J. Faulkner, and F. Hereford. The Legislature is almost unanimously Democratic, sud it is said that Henry S. Walker, of Wheeling, will bo elected U. S. Sonator, vice Borenmn, Rad. Tub Indianapolis Journal says, with reference to tho Iudiuna Legislature: “Four days ago the Journal conceded the Domooracy a majority of two on joint ballot, excluding tho Independents. It now seems that our estimate was too low, their majority being no less thun six or seven. The Republicans have lost De- Kalb county by ouo vote, while Knox county, also counted Republican, is a tie. If, in tho now election to bo ordered in Knox, tho Democrats carry tho county, as they probably will, the House will stand —Democrats 50, Republicans 1M>, Inde pendents 8 ; (he Scnatu being—Democrats 24, Republicans 2ff, Independents fi. Wb find in tho Montgomery Stale Jour nal “Military General Order No. It.* by David P. Lewis, Uovornor, which places tho volunteer companies of Mobile under couimund of tho Mayor, and for bids the removal of thoir arms from the armory without his order. When wo re member that the acting Radical Mayor of Mobile was not elected to that office by the people, but was foisted iu by tho do- croosof a partisan judiciary, it is appa rent that this order is only intemlod to produce irritation. Issued just on the eve of tho election, it is a incasuro well calcu lated to excite resistance, and perhiq s to lead to acts by which tho Radical party would hope to profit. It is ouly another form of tho tyruuny which caused the up rising in New Orleans. We hope, how ever, that tho people of Mohilo will be calm and prudent. Only a littlo longer will they have to wait for a peaceful rid dance from such rulers as Lewis and Moulton. O’Neal.") It is said that Sheets, of Ala bama, also advocates this measure when he is in tho “white settlements.” But we weTc not prepared for its endorsement by a paper holding tho relations to Gen. Grant’s administration which tho Nation- al Republican holds. How are tho Radical party going to ro- move tho negroes from the Southern States without their consent? Aro they so soon “going back ’ upon their own leg islation, by which they declared the ne groes to be citizens entitled to equal rights with tho whites ? Can it bo pro- tended that they have the right to remove tho whites from the South? 'lhoy must resort to more legislation “outsido of the constitution" to carry out this Hfcond pol New England. It in not denied that there are instances of outrages, inex cusable violations of law, but they are as promptly condemned and denounced by tho people of the State as they would bo auywhore else in the United States. Tho simplo fact is, that “Jay" is one of tho gang of villains whoso business it in to manufacture lies for political effect; and no band of incendiaries who ever met under tho cover of darkness to plot schemes for burning the homes of unsns jotting pooplo and murdering them in their sleep more richly deserved the gal- low's than do those scoundrels who delib erately cuucoct lies like these, for the purpose of arraying against the people of tho South tho prejudices and hatred of the Northern masses. Those harpies who Lave been fattening upon their robberies I of the South under tho protection of Federal bayonets foresee their doom in tho coming election, and, as their only icy of hote and punishment, ninl they hopo of perpetuating their hold tipou the must mako haste about it, too, for tho in dications aro unmistakable that they have already broken down their party in both sections of tho Union by arbitrary and unconstitutional measures. The truth is they Invo no constitutional power to remove a single negro from Georgia or Alabama without his con sent (and wo believe not even with his consent). They claim that they have made tho negro free, and the {ooplo of tho whole country, South as well as North, will hold thorn to the declaration. If the negro is a freeman and a citizen, ho is entitled to ohooso his own placo of resi dence, and this right certainly m Demo crat of tho South will deny to him. No Democrat North or South will admit the Radical right to interfere with it. destiny, undeterred by political strife and intimidation. Tho bare sugges tion of this thought will strike the majority of onr readers as a piece of cowardice, because it at once admits the inability of the Government to protect its own citizens in the exercise of constitu tional rights. Its execution would be fol lowed by the ruin of tho South, tho beg gary of rich planters, and a general stag nation in those branches of commoroe which are maintained by traffic in South ern products. At the same time, however, it would teach the Sonthern people that if they would gain a livlihood by working their plantations and developing the re sources which a bountiful Providenco has placed at their command, they must pro tect and encourage rather than outrage r.ud depress the class of laborers on which they depend for everything. This ia one way to reconquer the South. Wo copy a significant article, under this hond, from tho Washington National Republican of Saturday last. The Re publican, as our readors know, is the Washington paper generally regarded ns being in the coufidonoo of Gen. Grant’s administration. Tho burden of its song, in this article, is tho continued rebellious spirit of tho people of the South, which it says now aims at tho oontrol of tho politics of tho whole country, uud mani fests itself iu daily “outrages” upon tho rights of tho negroes. Wo all know how fulso is the charge of outrage, and when we find a Radical paper assailing even such life-long Republican journals as tho Now York Tribune and Times as “cop perhead organs" because they and thoir correspondents toll the truth nhout the oouditiou of the South, we can form an idea of tho despornto condition of tbo party that has to resort to such desperate subterfuges. As to the ambition of tho Southern pooplo to have tho principles of government which they 4 cherish adoplod a 1 over tho Union, that is an aspiration tunl an effort to which every man and party in tho country aro entitled, and tho idea of “re-oouquor- iug" a portion of tho people because they strive for tho ascendency of their politi cal principles, or because the people of the country appear to bo inclining in the same way, (for that is where tho shoe re ally pinches), this is simply ridiculous. Tho article is a virtual admission of tho failure of Radical “reconstruction" in tho South. It proposes the substitution of another policy—that of the removal of tho negroes to somo territory of thoir own, and tho leaving of the whites to their ruiu ! This, it will be Been, is inteuded as a continuation of tho policy of hate towards the whites of the South—the same animus that dictated the recon struction acts. The Badicsl mind aroma ^ incapable of rising to a conception of tho fact that that is not the proper mode of dculing with people of the South—that it only unites them more firmly iu resist ance to tyrauuy, and must iu the end re sult iu disaster to tho party seeking thus to rule them. This measure would prove o>. futile as the others, bringing ruiu only on tho heads of those sought to bo benefited or fooled. It might for a year or two cause some littlo inconveuiouco to the planters of tho South, but they woulJ soon bo able to employ all the labor needed, and of a more reliable kind. We have, ou two three previous occasions, alluded to and treated ns silly electioneering jugglery, the declarations of u Radical candidate for Congress in Georgia, to the effect that if ho is elected ho will have the negr. removed from the State and settled in a colony to themselves. (Iu his paper of last Saturday he says to tho pooplo of the Utk Congressional District, “if you want tho colored people to go to a couutry to A UltANUl.IPN STATEMENT ABOUT THE AI.AIIAMA “OUTItAUKM.” We publish below u letter written over a mouth ago by Col. Win. II. Chambers, Master of the State Gran go of Alabama, to the Secretary of the National Grange at Washington. It was not intended for publication, hut for the information aud uses of tho Grangers. Tho Secretary, however, thought proper to publish it, and to this Col. Chambers has no objec tion. We are gratified to seo that while tho Attorney General of tho United States has been engiged in tho basely partisan work of collecting falsehoods to injure the people of the South, a brotherhood having no partisan objects in view have been si’.ontly at work ascertaining the truth about tho condition of our section. As a national brotherhood, they very pro perly and legitimately interest themselves iu a matter of this kind. We have noticed for somo time tho bitter hostility towards the Grangers manifested by Radical lead ers in tho South, and especially ut Mont gomery, but it never occurred to us bo- fore that tho secret cause of such animos ity was tho power which tho Grange pos sessed, by its extensive ramifications, to refute the falsehoods which tho Radical loaders have sent North concerning the South. We have no doubt that tho infor mation derived through tho Granges has had much to do with causing the false re ports of “outrages" to re-act with damage to the Radical parly, and wo hopo that through this agency tho truth will con tinue to bo circulated wherever falsehood aud slunder go. Wo may mid, in referonoo to the com munication signed “Jay," written (or purporting to have boon written) at Montgomery, that overy effort has boon rnado by tho white people to find out ut Montgomery who was tho writer, but without success. Every Radical upon whom it was charged denied its paternity, or any knowledge of it; ueithor would the Chronicle discloso tho author; ro it has fallen to the grouud as a falsehood without an owner, and the sneaking slanderer who wrote it remains miox- posod. Tho New York Sun, in copying Col. Chambers’ letter, accompanies it with the following suggestions, which wo hopo will be acted upon: An Immediate Duty of tub Grange.— Of tho 20,800 subordinate Granges iu tho United States 0,270 aro iu tho Southern States. Through thoir Statu Granges they are in constant communication with the offices of the National tirauge, aud offer tho only extended and trustworthy system of agencies in existence for gat ering speedy utul trusworthy intelligence from the South. The jurisdiction of the Grange ia not only nominally, but actually oooxtensivc with tho country. It roaches into nl most overy county and towuship of the region charged with being “disturbed" and therefore surrendered to tho mercy of Lauduulot Williams. Entirely freo from partisan politics, aud composed of sober, solid citizens of every shade of political opinion, fanners, planters nml agricultu ral laborers, its reports would command universal crodeuco, not among Patrons oulv, but everywhere, and with all classes, ifnces which havo given the form of law to their oppressions, they seek by lies like these in tho Chronicle to inflame the public mind of the North into such active hostility against us os will force the Ad- ministra’iou to armed intervention iu their behalf. I cannot undertake within the compass of a letter the refutation in detail of all the misrepresentations in “Jay’s commu nication. I send you herewith several slips cut from Alabama papers, throwing some light on his statements. Among them you will ibid extracts from the edi torial columns of the leading Democratic journals in tho State, which correctly rep resent the sentiments of our people iu re lation to these outruges. As a general thing, the negroes are quiet, welt disposed, and well behaved. Indeed, I may say they are universally so, except when they are instigated by bad white men who seek to secure oflico by appealing to thoir prejudices aud inflam ing their passions. In some instances they havo so far misled the negroes ns to load them to acts of violence and inso lence, which, iu spite of the utmost pu- tionco and forbearance on the part of the whites, have resulted in collision. Iu not a .single instance, so far as I know or bo- liove, has a collision of this sort occurred iu which the uegroes (or, rather, their mischievous white leaders) were not to blame; and, in almost every iusUnco, tho whites have been forced from shoer solf- protection to resist threateuiug demon strations against their lives and property. Bat tho wholo thing is a misreprtMenta tion iu tint it creates a false impression of the stale of things in Alabama. One reading these newspaper accounts would think wo wore ia a state of wnr in Ala bama, aud that both whites and blacks wore iu porpetuul apprehension of out breaks and violence. There is no more Henso of insecurity hero than there has been at any time since tho war. I live in one of the heaviest negro populations in tho State, where there are fifteen negroes to overy white person, and yet we feel ns safe hero as you do in tho District of Co lumbia. There has never since the war boon an instance of collision between the races in this neighborhood. We live as peacefully as any community in tho Union, and no we shall, always, unless some malicious carpet-bagger, comes among us to stir up strife. IToase excuse the haste with which I havo replied to your lottor, aud show this to friend Aiken, from whom I received sonic time since, a copy of tho Chronicle containing “Jay’s" first communication. Your friend and brother, W. II. Chambers. [From thu Washington Republican, 24th.] 1IOW TO 11ECON41UEU THE MOUTH. Tho serious consideration of the pres ent condition of tho Southern States which luG been provoked not only by the results of the recent elections, but by the repeti tion of outrages against tho life and prop erty of peaceable, law-abiding citizens, has resulted in numerous suggestions of needed changes in that section. It is truo that such copporhead organs as the Tribune, Times and World, of New York, have defied and insulted tho intelligence of thoir readers by denying that a riotous condition of affairs prevails; but tho ac cumulation of roliablo statistics, in tho contradiction of that assumption, lias oponod tho eyes of the people generally. The facts referred to prove that tho South ern people, with rare exceptions, are so thoroughly dissatisfied with tho results of tho lato civil war that they havo been aroused to tho vorge of renewing tho re bellion. With a wholesome dread of tho ult of organized conflict with tho arms of tho United Stales, they have rohortod to intimidation and assassination of political oppoucuts, aud havo developed thoir intention by those moth- ods to gain that supremacy within the Union which they failed to gain outside of it. In pluiner words, they have been forced to abandon thoir cherished idea of a separate form of government, and have substituted for it a design to rulo tho entire country on the same principles ou which they expected to found the South ern Confederacy. Tho issues of each re- curriug political contest prove this to ho truo, bocause they aro based, ovon * conservative State of Virginia, upon tho bold declaration that the “South should be ruled by Southrons alouo.” The lit eral moaning of this declaration is that the leaders of the rebellion, with thoir followers, sympathizers aud successors aro alone entitled to power, not only in tho South, but throughout the whole couutry, because they cannot rule ouo section in tho Union without ruling both. To accomplish this result, as we have repeatedly explained, they have ignored the terms of their paroles, havo proved faithless to their pledges of loyalty, aud violated the onths with which they reha- bilited themselves as citizens of tho Uni ted States. They have set at defiance tho reconstruction acts, and have ruthlessly disregarded every law of Congress in tended to preserve or protect the rights of those who were enfranchised by tho war amendments to tho Constitution. That they will continue to do these thing3 is now as certain ns that they have done them iu the past, aud that they aro en couraged to eoutiuuo by tho result of tho rocont elections ia so apparent as to dofy contradiction. Wo aro, therefore, con sented with the existence of a great sectional conspiracy to destroy the liberties of millions of our fel low-citizen*, and to repudiate tho great results of tho war. To ovorcome this conspiracy we must reconquer the South, and ns wo canuot do it by forco of iinns, bocause tho opposition presents no tangible form of overt rebellion, we must go about it in another way. There is no time to lose in this matter. Already the proposition of tho infamous Hunter, of Virginia, that tho slaves shall be paid for by the General Government, has found echoes and ro-echoes from every nook aud corner of tho late slaveholding States, aud the suggestion is made that the Govern- nu'ut shall assuvuo the further responsi bility of paying for the destruction pf rebel property during tho wnr. The next step—akin to tho repudiation of our own debt—will be tho assumption of tho Confederate debt. These are not wild surmises. They are facts which are more palpable than were THE FAIR CLOSED. Closiug aooounts of the State Fair are given by tho Atlanta papers of Saturday and Sunday. Tho attendance was large to tho close, and wo are gratified At tho report that tho receipts exceeded expen ditures, thus giving encouragement for oven more liborality in premiums, Ac., next year. Tho “baby show" on Friday brought together a number of promising littlo “darlings” as competitorH. The first pre mium, a IIowo sowing machine, was awarded to Ella and Stella Anglinton, twins of sotoii months, weighing 1!>^ aud 1!)J pounds, respectively. Tho second premium, a baby carriage, was nworded to Howard Thrower, aged months, weighing 22$ pounds. Both these premi ums wero given by the Howe Company. Gordon county won tho premium for tho best stock display. Thomas county won the premium for the bent agricultural display. Thu premium for tho host insttmucntul and vocal music by a school, was awarded to the Southern Female College, of La- Grango. r lho Turuvoreins, of Atlanta, won tho prize for tho best gymnastic exercises. On Saturday there was another “baby show" for an additional sowing machine offered by Mr. Scarratt, agent of the Hu wo Company. There wero sixtoeu con testants for this prize, and a fine and hopeful lot of babies they were. Pauline Nolen, a bright girl of seven months, weighing twenty-four pounds, was voted tbo finest baby of the lot, and Herman Smith, a boy of six months weighing twenty-throe pounds, the second best. The races wero interesting aud exciting. The results of most interest have been noticed elsewhere. Mrs. Ross, of Macon, took the premium for the finest and largest display of fe male handicraft. Thomas Pullum & Co., of Atlanta, were awarded tho promium for tho finest display of drugs and per fumery. Our section wus represented by so small a number of exhibitors that our readers would not bo interested in n re port of tho awarding of most of the pre miums. Many liavo yet to be announced In rofrrenco to the pecuniary success of the Fair, tho Herald of Sunday esti mates tbo total receipts from tickots. privileges, &o., at $38,100, and says: “Tho expenses of tho Fair, we aro assured by Mr. Haas, will not exceed $25,000. lienee it is pretty safo to concludo that tho Fair will mako tho city a clear net profit over expenses of $5,000 to $10,000; vhen iu addition to this tho profit arising from having such an immouso crowd in the city for a weok, wo tuny well fool grateful to tho Mayor, and tho committeo who have engineered the Fair, and tbo pooplo who havo stood so nobly up to thorn."

Tiio Why not give us tho precise truth about those alleged “outrages?" if they aro as numerous and terrible as the politicians of tho third-term variety say they are, the Patrons of tho West, and nil tho rest of us, will know exactly what to do ; but if they are as a rulo rneio lies invented by thieves in office to prevent tho conse quences of an honest, unhindered vote at tho polls, Morton’s State Central Com mittee ought not to bo allowed to keep them “standing until after tho election, ’ and the chorus of foul carpet-baggers usherod by Bon Butler, Dawes and Gar field, should bo given nnothor tune to sing. A circular from tho National Grange requesting a oiroumstaucial report from every one of the 11,27(5 subordinate Graugea in tho South would bring an overwhelming and conclusive response. No man of sound mind will accept the statements furnished by the carpet-bag gers, or by the equally infamous Federal officials, in the South; uud no limn of sound heart is willing to act in the dark. By ascertaining tho truth, aud giving ii iu cVar terms to the Associated Pro**, the Grange could perform an inestimable public service. W. 11.

Calhoun—Dear Sir: — From your known opposition to the carrying of concealed weapons, and your honest, earnest efforts to put down law lessness and bloodshed, together with a dosire that tho public should know tho facts in tho case, is my oxcuso for troub ling yon with this communication. Those who aro best acquainted with tho fuels aro satisfied that Win. B. Smith is guilty of a cool, premeditated attempt to mur der his father, Wm. T. Smith. He has been often hoard to say that he would die before his father should drive him and his sisters off, which, owing to tho many disagreements between his second wife and the children, had become necossary; that opposition too had boon increased and kept up in a groat dogreo by this very sou who so bravely attempted to kill bis father. All who know Esquire Smith wi 1 agree with mo in saying that ho is one of the mildest and most quioi men living; a man, too, who never drinks intoxicating liquors nadcr any cir cumntanoes. Esquire Smith had beou ad vised by somo of the best men in the neighborhood to send off his children, as tho only moans of restoring peace and harmony betweeuhis wife and thorn. He had also procured places for them, where all necessary protection would bo afforded thorn. As to whipping his daughters, I don’t believe he ever struck them in his life; and so fur as his sons are concerned, every one knows they aro competent to mako cu honest living, independent of their father’s assistance. William, the ono who did the shooting, has been on gaged in teaching in tho neighborhood tho present year, boarding at his father’s, paying no board. I presume, too, ho is competent to engage in husiuess A3 a book-keeper, as bis father aeut him to Moore’s Business Uollogo in Atlanta. Wore I to attempt to give all tho facts conuectod with this shocking affair, it would consume more space than no pessa ry. I will give them however, if necessa ry, iu the future. I hope tho public will withhold their verdict until all the facts are brought out. Tho would-be murderer of his father is still at large, aud still able to carry fourteen rounds on his person.
