EXCITING
TION.
Packard's plan now is to precipitate a
oonflict. He hu in his fortress, misnam
ed State oapitol, congregated an assem
blage of five hundred ignorant eonntry
negroes, attracted by the desire to get
paid for doing nothing. Inflamed by
driuk they will become a set of feroolous
brutes, ready for any deed of crime.
This collection shows up Packard in his
true light. He dmires personal aggran
dizement at any cost, oareleea how many
lives are sacrificed provided his own pre-
cionse carcass is not exposed. If a strife
does come, provoked u it will be by a di
rect attack from his forces, their rallying
cry will be blood and booty. Ths whites
will not permit a crowd like Packard’s gang
to ride rough shod over the oity insult
ing ladies and robbing, but will welcome
them to“hoopiUbIe graves." Weoanhard
ly believe an utlve eontest will be inaugu
rated. If it is, on Packard will rest the
entire responsibility, and probably his
own head will pay the forfeit. It is said
“His Frandulenoy” beoame quite indig
nant when Packard's position wu reported
to him, but we have become wearied of
hearing words attributed to Bradley’s man.
We want of to read an action, giving some
definite oaiue for the trust that his poli
oy will be pacific. The but information
we have received yet is the fact that
Packard’s reoruiting offloer had been
arrested by Nioholl’s polioe. That means
buaineu. It signifies that no snob folly

The following correspondence explains
itself:
AusnB, Tex., Feb. 12, 1877.
Hit Emoellency A. //. Colquitt, Governor
of Georgia, Atlanta Oa. :
Sir—The Demooretio party of Texu, in
1876, offered a centennial banner to the
State giving the largest majority for the
Democratic tioket in the late Pruidential
election. The movement wu inaugurated
by the Democratic clubs of the city of
Dallas, and successfully completed mainly
by their energy and generous contribu
tions.
In the State canvass of February, 1876,
Tsxm gave a dear Democratic majority
of one hundred and three thousand votes
ovor the Kepnbliean candidates. This wu
an increue of more than fifty thouund
majority over the vote of 1873-74. It will
not, therefore, be denied—permit me, in
all frankness, to uy—that in offering this
splended prize to be contested for by the
States, Texu had not the most remote
expectation that other than her own bands
would bear off this trophy from the field
of valor. Her majority in the recent con
test wu precisely sixty thousand: bnt in
tho presence of your eighty-six thousand
majority of Democratic votes Bhe bows
with uncovered head and a heart full of
pride, love and honor—tenders to the Dc»
mocraoy of Georgia this banner, whioh
she hu so nobly won.
This pleaunt duty, by unanimous oon.
sent, bu been oonflded to the Hon. James
B. Simpson, of Dallas, Texu, the editor
of one of our leading Demooretio daily
journals, distinguished in our legislative
oounoils alike for statesmanship, elo
quence, and a fearless advocacy of the
of the right. Tqhis bands, I am reques
ted to say the Demooraoy of Texu intrusts
this flag to be borne to your distant capi
tal, and there presented, in their name,
to the State whioh, in the Oentenial year,
gavo the largest majority of any Amerioan
commonwealth to Tilden and Hendrioks,
representing, as they did, opposition to
tyranny and a noble devotion to constitu
tional liberty, u banded dgwn to us from
the farthers of the Bepublio.
Four years hence Texu expects to win
this bannebhaok and restore it to the
hands which now so freely part with the
prize. Iam, sir, very respectfully and
truly, B. B. Hubbabd.
oov. Colquitt's bbflt.
Atlanta, Ga., March 6, 1877.
Hit Excellency, if. B. Hubbard, Governor
of Texae:
Bir—I am in reoeipt of your letter Of
the 13th of February,and also a note from
the Hon. James B. Simpson, both of
whioh accompany the magnificent prize
banner awarded by the State of Texu to
the State of Georgia, u “the State giving
the largest majority for the Democratic
tioket in the late Presidential eleation.”
This banner, both In design and execu
tion, hu been pronounoed by our entire
oommunity, u altogether unmatched by
any of the kind whioh hu beefl seen in
the South. Artistioally, it refleota the
highest credit upon the exquisite tute of
its designers, and as a memorial of a
marked event in Georgia’s history, and u
reminder of a momentous epoch in the
history of the country, it will long be an
object of interest from these impressive
associations.
If the times were more suspicions for
an exohange of pleasantries, Georgia
might remind Taxu that the race is some
times most nnexpeotedly lost by the swift,
and that the best auured bouters are the
ones who take off the harness, and not
the one who is just patting it on. But
we are admonished by events of very re
cent occurrences, that neither swiftness
nor strength may avail in a eontest with
fraud; and that this brilliant gem of a
banner, whioh it wu fondly hoped would
be the memento of a grand and saving
triumph of freedom, may prove at last
but a sad remembrancer of her diautrous
defeat and overthrow.
Let ns, however, imitate the hopeful
ness and patriotism of the Homans, whom
motto wu, “Never dupair of the Hepub-
lio.” In this spirit Georgia acoepts the
challenge of your noble yonng common-
wraith, andjwill see to it, if in the future
Texas meansto marshal by her “bugle
blaBt” a greater or a readier host than
Georgia, when the Demooraoy calls to the
resoue, that she shall be forced to do her
best. We warn you now to begin in time
and bend to the work.
But in advance we notify you that
should we be fairly beaten we will yield
only with that proud submtmion whioh
ths pareht evinces when the child, full of
promise is the viotor over her.
We love to oherish with you, u a com
mon property, the fame of Lamar and
Fannin, and the host of other Georgians
who laid down their lives for the strug
gling fortunes of the “Lone Star.” Long
may Georgia and Texas continue a gener
ous emulation for the maiutainauce of
constitutional government and liborty
through Democratic interpretations and
organization.
Permit me to add that the pleasure we
experience in the reception of the “oen-
tenuial banner” wonld have been en
hanced oould we have reoeived it from
the hands of the distinguished son of
Texas to whom the offloe of presentation
had been delegated.
In the name and behalf of the Demoo
raoy of Georgia, I accept the onstody of
this beauttfui banner, with tho most fer
vent reciprocation of all good wishes for
the suoeeM of the great Democratic party
of Texu. With sentiments of great re
spect, I am, sir, yonr obedient servant,
Alfbed H. Colquitt.

WasuiNoton, March IS.—I am sorry to
observe that all my old Material out of
whioh I have extracted ao muoh fnn is
passing away. The last, but not the
ieut, is my jolly old friend, Each Chans
dler. It is difficult to make the world be
lieve that muoh that I have written of
Zaoh is—well, I won't aay sober faot, for
Zsoh is seldom sober, but the fun
is always based on faot. He is
big, good-natured, awkward, jolly old
fellow, with more natural ability than
education, and more force of character
than either. He is quite round-shoul
dered, and rolls u be walks, u if he were
encountering head-aeu or wu, u be gen
erally is, half-seu over. He is a kind-
hearted man—gives away a good deal,
both from a charitable disposition and to
gratify his whims. But, my soul! how
ignorant the old animal is. Here is an
illustration, and it is historical:
One day previous to the late civil war
Senator Benjamin wu addressing the
Senate, and had oocuion to read from
Burke. Zaohariah listened, and u the
Senator replaced ths volume the learned
law-maker, seleoted by Michigan to repre
sent that State in the Senate, uked the
eloquent, little Hebrew the author's name.
“Burke,” responded Benjamin.
“How ?" again demanded Zaohariah.
“I read from Burke,” wu the response.
“I’d like to know what Burke."
“Certainly,” quietly responded the
eloquent little Creole; “I have read from
Edmund Burke.”
“Mr. President,” roared Zaohariah, “I
deny it in toto. It Is a forgery, sir, a
base forgery, sir.”
By this time two or three of the Miohi-
gander’s friends were lagging at his ooat-
tails, and informing him in an Undertone
that he wu making a fool of himself;
but Zaohariah continued: “Let me alone,
will you ? I know what I am about, and
I repeat it. It's a vile forgery—I have
known Fdmund Burke since his youth,
and he never did—he never oould have
uttered suoh sentiments.”
By this time the faot dawned upon Sen
ator Benjamin, and he said, with one of
his angelic smiles for whioh he wu fa
mous, “I refer the honorable Senator to
the volume of a work with which doubt-
lew be la familiar to prove that I have
read oorreetly."
“No, sir; no, sir—no!” responded the
Miohigan Solon; “I tell the Senator to his
faoe that it is a forgery, and he knows it.
He shall not shoulder such infernal stuff
on my old friend. He is absent, sir, but
bis reputation is here in uy keeping!”
“Why, man alive,” said a political
friend in a low tone, “he is quoting
from the great English orator, Edmund
Burke.”
How?” asked Zich, craning his neck
with band to ear.
“Why, he ia reading from Edmund
Burke, of England.” Chandler took.
"Mr. President,” he cried, “I beg the
gentleman’s pardon, I am told he is read
ing from a bloody Britisher, and not from
my old friend Edmund Burke, of New
Hampshire. I never heard of his Ed
mund Burke, and don’t want to hear. I
hate the whole lot of them.”
And Zaohariah snbaided.
Well oan one say in the language of the
old diplomate, “Come hither, my son,
and see by what fools the world is gov
erned.” We would well wish to show
that son the great Michigander, also John
Sherman, Secretary of the Treuury, late
ohairman of the Committee on Finance in
the Senate, who, from his place said he
could not see the difference between a
tariff for revenue and one for protection,
and hu been in favor of paying the bonds
in greenbacks and against paying them in
greenbacks—has expressed from two to
four opinions on every question without
any sense of information in any one of
them. D. P.

that is because they get away with so
much beer. Really, however, there ia not

Did you ever hear a cry, suoh as Blaine
raised, eubside so quick? It was like a
conspirator raising only onoe the shout,
“Down with the King!” and then sinking
back in the crowd, indistinguishable. I
said I aooused Blaine of no speoial injury,
but of general ominouB influence. I do
not acouse him. He made his noriety by
orying Andersonville at Ben Hill and
others. It waa a mean cry, raised eleven
years after the war. That taunt—it was
nothing else—almost made Blaine Presi
dent. He barely lost his point. As he
was sick during the convention, Hayes
telegraphed him pityingly, and got the
suspicion of all the other defeated can
didates for doing so. But Mr. Blaine
never put that to Hayes’ credit. He
said to himself: “There’s a green young
man coming to Washington. I shan’t
help him to be oounted in, unless I have
to, for it’s my interest to let the Demo
crats get the Government and be the
David to attack them. Then I'll be
nominated in 1880, and every covetous
interest will sway votes for me on the
other side. But if Hayes does get in
and try to be a Christian, I'll mount the
wall and break his administration
down.
He mounted the wall the first day. He
was bold as a peacock, and his voioe
soared mules. “Oh, get down, Ander
sonville Jim!” said publio opinion.
There wasn't an echo. He got down.
He folded that tail up in his voioe and

WHAT PINCHBACK BATH OF
LOUISIANA.
In an interview with a correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette at Columbus,
Ohio, Finchbaok reduced the Louisiana
question to very simple proportions when
he said : “Accept tho inevitable, grace
fully if you can, but you must make
the best- terms you can. It comes to
just thiB: . The white Democrats
can govern Louisiana, the Republi
can oan't without military assistance,
and some sort of government we
must have. That’s all there ia in it. The
Republicans have the right on their side,
the Democrats have the power. If there
waa any hope of onr being held up, I
should say stick, but everybody can see
there isn’t. A military government would
be best for the 8tato, really best for all
parties, but that we can’t have. The
nearest to it will be Nioholls’ government.
There are now 5,000 well armed men in
New Orleans, the flower of ths Oonfed-
ate army, well armed and splendidly
drilled to support Nioholls. Just let the
President withdraw the troops, and in fif
teen minutes all the present Packard
Legislature will scamper over to the
Nioholls Legislature. Nobody doubts
but it will then be legal, and it will at
once reoognize Nioholls. That settles it
at onoe. My hope, then, ia that the rul
ing olaas, weary of strife, will make peace
with their neighbors, and have no induce
ment to- oosnmit outrages. Rather an
awkward fix, I mast admit; but as for me
I see no other hope."

Special Dispatch to ths Cincinnati Gasette.
Washington, March 14.—A large num
ber of colored men, representing a num
ber of States, railed upon the President
to-day and urged him to appoint Prof.
John M. Langston, of Washington, com
missioner of agriculture. The delegation
was headed by John T. Quarles, who made
a short speech in advocacy of the alaims
of oolored men to be represented in offi
cial station under the Government.
Quarles handed the Preaident a large bun
dle of recommendations of Prof. Langs
ton, including a number of letters from
prominent members of Congress,from all
the bishops of the African Methodist
ehurob, from citizens, white
and colored, of nearly every
state in the union. The President said
in reply that it was his intention to ap
point Fredrick Douglass and Prof. Langs-
ton to Important sod reaponsibls positions
at an esrly day. He should probably ap
point Mr. Douglass flrat, on aeoount of
his greater age and of his having former
ly been a slave, considering him of the
two, the moat prominent Republican of
the oolored race, but that he had equally
made up his mind with reference to Prof.
Langston. As to the particular position
whioh the delegation requested might be
given to Prof. Langston, the Preaident
said he oould not say what he should do,
because he bad not yet had time to look
into the matter, and was not certain
whether it was desirable that the present
iucumbent be continued in offloe.
