Governor John Letchek was
defeated for the Legislature in Rock
bridge county, Virginia.
The same vote that elected Mr. W.
H. Sims Lieutenant Governor of Mis
sissippi l>y nearly 10ti,0(K) majority
abolislied tlie office to which lie was
elected. To Mr. S. this is the most
barren victory ever won.
Cincinnati Enquirer: “Governor
Hendricks is quietly attending to his
law practice. He will remain in
pence until 1880, when lie ami ids
friends intend to make a rush for the
Presidency. He will make a lint
light for it.”
A careful calculation is made
in tlie New York Sun of
tlie probable result of tlie cen
sus of 1880, and he conclu
sion is reached that the nation will
then have a population of about 47,-
000,000. This will lie an average in
crease the country over of about “1
per cent, for ten years. This is
deemed too large by tlie Cincinnati
Times, which thinks the next census
will show only 46,000,IKK),
A ballot box with a big Demo
cratic majority was stolen at Pleas

Independents. A dog belonging to a

beast. Except the negro's story,

we find the House and Senate at va

Gen. Sherman desires nil army of

who punctually draws Ids $18,000 and

out the House amendments ami in
creases the force to 26.IKKI. So there
isa dead lock at the very beginning
of legislation. We hope the House
will not yield. Tills country lias no
need of a large armed force. They
are always speaking of Indian wars.
The only real cause of these arc
tlie aggressions of the whites and
stealing qualities of those who have
the authority to furnish supplies.
Wyh, tlie Government will not observe
the most solemn of treaties.
They are made like laws

only to be broken. The Indians are
grunted reservations and the whites
encroach on them at. will, and the
authorities make no eflbrt to prevent.
Canada, with only a few hundred
mounted police keeps in order llum-
sands of the flerueat tribes. Even
Hitting Dull remains quiet. The
Dominion inis regard to stipulations
and observes them. The United States
regards it as no sin to rob an Indian
and drive him from bis home. No
wonder he fights bis oppressors and
hates them with the Intensity of bit

Indian atlidrs were in proper hands,
there would tie no necessity lor a
heavy armed force in the West. What
reason is there for nearly a full regi

November 13, 1877. I
Since leaving Cuthbert, Ga., we
have traveled by private conveyance
through Clay county in Georgia,
Henry county in Alabama, and .Tuck-
son county, Florida.
AT FORT GAINES
We found business very dull and the
merchants complaining. While there
we learned that Mr. D. C. Adams, a
former resident, had Just purchased
the bridge recently completed across
the Chattahoochee for $(1,000. It cost
$10,000. It is substantially built and
at each abutpient stanchions are so
placed as to protect a wash from tlie
largest freshet.
AT COLUMBIA, ALA.,
we found business more lively. Cot
ton was corning in every day and
sold at 0j and 9J. Our host, Dr.
C—, is an old Virginian,' and he
entertained us most pleasantly until
bed time. During the conversation
topic lead to fishing and hunting.
A subject always interesting to one
so fond of tlie s|«irt as wo are. He
stated that while at Dead Lake lust
season, with u party of eight or nine,
they constructed pens to catch rock-
tish and red horse. The first night
they trapped seventy-eight, and sup
plied the settlement for eight or ten
miles around, and Unit during his
stay the essence of lisli could be in
haled at all times, day and night.
His recital of Hie angling would have
done you good. He readied one
point in tlie lake where lie hud to got
behind a tree to bait Ids hook, as the
fisli were so thick that they would
jump out the water after the halt
while placing it on the hook. Wo
retired and dreamed of ealeliing
whales tlml night.
GORDON, At,A.,
on Sunday, was like a graveyard. We
did not tarry long, and pushed for
Greenwood, Fla., a most thriving lit
tle town. The merchants were in
gooil humor. Cotton bales, number
ing from ten to twenty, stood before
Hie doors of tlie leading merchants,
willing sellers and buyers. While
then*, a little “serlo coiiiico” incident
happened. A little hoy about nine
years of age had shuttled off this mor
tal coil. His parent, living about two
miles front there, came in fop the pur
pose of getting a grave dug. It*was
finished about dark. The following
morning (Sunday) about ten o’clock
the remains of tlie poor little fellow
were followed by a number of mourn
ers to liis lust resting place. On arri
val what was tlie surprise of ail to
find a huge ox had been llie occu
pant, from all appearances, for several
hours of that deep and narrow sepul
chre. Six able-bodied negroes were
soon on the spot with ropes to extri
cate that unfortunate ox from its
BKEFHEK’N RIVAL.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher lias
a rival in Rev. Dr. Talmago. Botli
have Friday evening prayer meetings
and each mingles in Ids talks relig
ion, politics and everything else.
Last week the Rev. Dr. Talmago dis
coursed on the elections, gave Morris
sey a blast and mimed Ren. Butler
among those who were ornaments to
the country and a pride to their con
stituents. Botli preachers licking to
the eluss of sensationalists. Their
audiences laugh, applaud and
if need be hiss. Speaking
of Morrissey tlie Rev. irate Talmago
said, “I have intimated a wisli that
he might bo washed from the face of
the earth, but I had rather lie had
never been horn.” As Morrissey lmd
been elected Senator, lie douhtlc
cared very little about the anathema
of the lecturing preacher. Then tit
divine spoke tints of the election of
Morrissey:
“The re-election of John Morrissey
to the office of State Senator seemed to
be a necessity In order that all decent
poople might realize wliat wo have
come to. And to make the thing mor
conspicuous he lias boon re-elected, not
by his old-lillic partisans, but liy Re
publicans. Hamilton Fish, General
• •rant’s Secretary of State, voted for
him. Peter Cooper the friend of edu
cation and the founder of a great insti
tute, voted for him. Tlie Lrown-stoiie
fronts voted for him. The Fifth ave
nue equipages voted for him. Murray
Hill voted for him. If some of vuit
had lived there you would have voted fur
him. Meanwhile gambling is made
honorable ! Three cheers for the

stalwart sons of Africa appeared
around tlie grave, the ox did
not wait for help, but with
one hound extricated ills oxship, bel
lowing anil kicking, loft for the bay
gaols and tight eyes. We could not
tell whether the numerous spectators
were crying or not as usual, all had
handkerchiefs to their eyes when we
left.
At lids point.
NEAI.’S LANDING,
we found our old townsman, Charles
Watt, as busy as a bee, cotton coining
in every hour since our arrival. Af
ter unloading, the wagons were re
loaded with coffee, sugar, bacon,boots
and shoes, mid all the necessaries in
the way of merchandise. At three
o’clock lie found time to invite us up,
its he said, “to hush," We are

HON. .T. K. PARROTT TO PRESIDENT
JOHNSON.
Milledgeville, Ga., \
January 81, 1806. /
Hon. Andrew Johnson, President of
the United States:
My Dear Bib — Alexander H.
Stephens and Herseliel V. Johnson
were elected United States Senators
yesterday over Joshua Hill and James
Johnson.
Will 1st I did not favor the election
of these men over Hill and Governor
Johnson, who have ever been true to
the cause of the Union, I desire to
state that tills election should not lie
considered as evidence of disloyalty
to tlie Government, nor opposition to
the policy of your Administration.
I am certain that th$ election of
Hill and Johnson would have ad
vanced our Interests at Washington
at tliis important juncture, but the
representatives of the people of Geor
gia did not so consider it, and now I
think it best to recognize their action
as (he result of patriotism. Having
been a candidate for Senator myself,
and having withdrawn at the request
of Hill and Johnson, I think I am
prepared to give a fair and impartial
statement of tlie eauses o|ierating
here.
Hill is recognized by all men here
nsaninn of the purest patriotism and
unabated loyalty, but having been an
ultra Whig was not the favorite of
many old Democrats, and those peo
ple are very" sore under the misfor
tunes resulting to them from the folly
of secession, and are not willing to
surrender their pride of opinion at
once.heneemany considered It, a kind
of salve to their wounded pride to be |
permitted to elect one who opposed
secession, but hud lieen connected with
them in some way during their dis
astrous struggle.
Governor .Tames Johnson, whilst he
is considered by all as a man of decid
ed ability, and by all who know him
well ns a humane consistent patriot,
but there nre those who say he is
fickle and vindictive, and- does not
sympathize with tlie people of the
State, and that he made secession
speeches in 1861. I do not suppose
these assertions are true, hut a pre
judiced people arc easily convinced.
The election of Stephens and Her-
sciiel V. Johnson was intended us a
compliment to them for their strong
opposition to secession in 1860 and
1861, as w’cll us to secure the benefit of
their talents and experience as states
men at this critical period of our his
tory.
As an evidence of t he loyalty of tliis
Legislature, they defeated Benning
for Judge of tlie Supreme Court and
elected D. A. Walker, a Conservative,
ami B. was a most violent secession
ist and Major General in the Army.
Herseliel V. Johnson was elected
over Lucius J. Oai trell, who was a
miserable parasite of Toombs, with
drew from the House of Representa
tives In 1881, commanded a regiment
in the rebel army, then was elected
to Congress in 1861, voted for the
conscript and impressment laws, and
filially commanded a brigade of re
serves at Andersonville prison. He
also defeated John B. Gordon, who
was one of tlie most gallant and popu
lar Major Generals in tlie army of
Lee.
In view of the fact that the people,
when allowed to vote as they please,
will not always do exactly right, and
that Stephens and Johnson have al
ways been considered friends of the
Government of the United States l>y
all who knew them well, and that
their election is considered in Georgia
as a Union triumph, I trust it will
work no evil, either to the people of
Georgia or yourself. T think both
these gentlemen will make speeches
here in a fe\y days that will be read
with pleasure by every patriot in
Amc-riea. Your friend mid obedient
servant. J. B. Parrott.
P. S.—By reference to tlie enclosed
cards you will see that Stephens did
not seek tlie position, Johnson was
no candidate. J. R. P.
us now as deeply deplore,
influences of Buen
But the
election were iden
tical with those which pledged unan
imously and by formal resolutions the
confidence ill and tlie support of the
people of Georgia to the policy of Hie
existing Federal Administration.
These resolutions of our State Legis
lature (offered by myself) were passed
no later than December last, and I
cannot supjiose, nay, it should not lie
believed, that when we endorsed the
measures of the one, we would seek
to render them futile or endeavor to
thwart their wise purpose by any
treacherous disloyalty! T repeat,
therefore, that tlie election of Mr.
Stephens accords to the utmost with
the expression of our confidence in
your Administration, that he Is con
sidered prudent, highly capnble and
well disposed to second your efforts
of reconstruction, and that these com
bined ought to sustain him In tlie
position to which he lias been culjed.
He is emphatically tlie friend of
President Johnson, and tlie trusted
friend of Georgia with all. His
friends have acted conscientiously
and wisely as they hope, and commit
without reserve his destiny to that
tribunal which tlie constitution of
his country 1ms ordained. I have
thus privately volunteered these re-
muksforu two-foid purpose. First,
to correctly inform your 'Excellency
of Mr. Stephen's views and feelings.
Secondly, ns a simple net of justice to
u distinguished citizen and personal
friend, and with the entreaty that
they may bo solely so regarded, have
tlie honor to tender you my was’iri
sympathies for your successful ad
ministration and to assure your Ex
cellency of my profound regard and
esteem. ,
Most respectfully,
L. H. Kenan.

The latest footing of the returns of
the New York election put the appar
ent majority for Beach, the head of
the Democratic ticket, at 14,552.
Beach ran behind his ticket, because
of an opposition ticket in New York
city containing all tlie Democratic
candidates names except his. The
other Democratic majorities run up to
30,000. Tlie Senate stands: Republi
cans, 17; Democrats, 14; Independent,
one. The Assembly will stand: Re
publicans, 05; Democrats, 57; Anti-
Tammany Democrats and Working
men, 0. Thus tlie Republicans will
have a majority on joint ballot of 4 or
15, against a majority of 20 in the
last Legislature, and of 24 in 1875.
There seems to be no reason
why this small majority should not
be wiped out at the next election, and
a Democratic Senator secured in place
of Conkling.

Attention lias heretofore been di

tion of Rev. H. W. Hilliard, of Geor

count of ids Confederate reeord. Tlie
circumstances attending Mr. Hil
liard's nomination by the President
are now for the first time made
known. Mr. Hilliard was not an
applicant for the position. He
came to Washington on private
business. While here lie adopted
the suggestion of a friend of his, a
prominent public man, that lie should
call and pay his respects to the Presi
dent. During the conversation tlie
President diverted it from eommon-
pluce topics and said that he wanted
to bestow a foreign mission upon
some proper gentleman belonging to
the South. He then asked Mr. Hil-
linrd how lie would like a foreign
mission, and said that if it would be
agreeable lie would give liiin the Bra
zilian mission. The tender thus
made was accepted by Mr. Hilliard.

HON. L. H. KENAN TO PRESIDENT
JOHNSON.
Milledgeville, Ga., Feb. 3,1866.
To His Excellency Andrew Johnson,
President United States':
Dear Sir: The recent election of
the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens to
tho Senate of the United States—my
unbounded regard for him, as well as
tlie small share 1 had in placing him
in the office—I trust will he received
as ample apology for this letter. The
friends of Mr. Stephens are informed
that he is regarded in a portion of tho
union (far distant, it is true, from his
own vicinage) as inimical and dis
loyal to tlie Government of the Uni
ted States—Hint lie has been placed in
the responsible position regardless of
consequence to the impartial admin
istration of its executive, and un
mindful of tlie delicate and peculiar
relations which attaeli to him ns a pa
roled prisoner of war.
Under any aspect which these
charges may lie viewed, I nm free to
declare to your Excellency that they
are altogether groundless, and ns cer
tainly unjust. Tlie conduct of Mr.
Stephens up to, as well ns since, tlie
ordinance of secession by Georgia is
matter of historical record. Not only
did he oppose tlie fitness and expedi
ency of tlie policy of such a measure
nt the time of its initiation, but he
openly advocated and warmly sup
ported tlie claims of the late Mr.
Douglass to the Presidency. I can,
therefore, speak advisedly when 1 af
firm that had Mr. Stephen’s counsels
been adhered to, no disruption of
Federal relations would have ever oc
curred. If, however, the charge of
disloyalty now is predicated upon
any recent act of liis—any act subse
quent to his liberation from prison—
it is as unknown to me as it is un
hesitatingly disbelieved. I know of
nothing he has done, either in word
or deed, that can possibly Impair tlie
honor of his parole.
Tt is true, in the face of that parole
lie has been elected by tlio General
Assembly of Oeorgiu to a seat in the
Senate of the United States—elected,
however, by tlie votes of original se
cessionists its well as Union men,who
united to elect him, whose warning
