The remainder ia given in miscella
neous appropriations as follows: Mis

000 lor the mouth of the river and $15,-
000 for Ead’s jetties, both for the first
benefit of New Orleans; Tennessee riv
er, $270,000; Ohiorivcr, $175,000.
New York Wisconsin, and Michigan
get the three largest slices—over one
<Jcarter of the whole amount—and
none of these states are situa'ed very far
south. Oregon with a population jnst
sufficient for one member receives more
than Georgia does, and no southern
state, except Texas and West Virginia,
receives as ranch as Obio; snd
yet the Cincinnati Commercial pro-
nouuces the bill a grand southern
grab at the treasury. The tacts will
not, however, lead to a correction in
that paper.
It ia difficult to see what the object
of the president’s wild crusade against
this bill is. He proposes to withhold
the appropriations named in the bill if
in hia judgment they would go to works
that are not “rieariy national.” This
usurpation of power is a tritie the most
novel and daring in even the career o
our American Cesar. Just how be will
regard the items for democratic Geor
gia, we cannot say. He is not in the
habit of letting us know what be
will do. We can only give the exact
items of the bill for this state, and leave
our readers to cipher out whether
in Grant's miml the; will be held
to lie “clearly national:”

often confounded, although as unlike
as t harleston, S. C., and Charlestown

THE POBT ROOTE BI' L.
The bill to re-establish fast mail
trains, restore the franking privilege
and provide for a large additional
number of poet routes luuwed the senate
without difficulty. Senator Withers 1
amendment, authorizing the poetmas*
ter general to contract for a fast mail
service from Washington to New Or
leans via Richmond and appropriating
$100,000 for that purpose, was agreed
to, and is a part of the hill. This
amendment is the result of a lauda-
bl effort on the part of th£
Richmond chamber of commerce to se
core for the south the benefits of a fast
mail service. The chief dilficnlty seems
to be in getting a fast all-rail route be
tween Richmond and Washington ;
hut as the railroads are bnilt it is only
a matter of inducing two or three rail
road president* to agree to accommo
date the people by good connections
and rapid trains. A fast mail to New
Orleans wonld necessarily have to pass
over the Air Line route, thns giving
Atlanta rapid mail communications
with the bnsiness centers of the north.;
The amendment restoring the frank
ing privilege w.«s agreed to in the sen
ate by a vote of thirty to fifteen—a non
partizan division. Messrs Gordon anti
Not woo* 1 voted in favor of restoring
the privilege. Of the fifteen negative
votes, five arc democrats ami ten re
publicans. Fifteen democrats and fif
teen republicans voted in the affirma
tive. The clause as it |«ssed the senate
will not operato to restoie the privi
lege in all its former breadth. Then
solid linen, clothes, boots,
sewing machines, and in fart
almost everything was carried thiongh
the mails under the signature of a
member of congress; the new hill cov
ers only "letters and documents."
The vote on the final jossage of the
hill was 24 to 18. In the house the
hill was referred to the committee on
l»ost offices ami |*>at roads; and unless
a majority of two-thirds in favor of it
cau be mustered, it will stay-
in the hands of that committee
until next session. It will
not probably be moved until next
winter, and our promise of a fast mail
train becomes a matter of the dim uii a
certain future. We will not quar
rel over the provisions of the hill unjil
it shows some *igns of life. It is be
lieved, however, that the hill will go
through next winter substantially as it
l*Med the senate.
"So far aa the gubernatorial Cam-
l*ign in Georgia ia concerned," says the
Early connty News, "the labors of the
democratic press wili be light The un-
impeaclied and unimpeachable charac
ter of Gen. Culquitt will he hia own de
fence from any attack whicli even un
scrupulous radicalism may bring against
him—hence, no long leaders will be re-
qmred to d« fend hia fair fame. His
name is a household word thmughont
the state—hence the press are saved the
trouble of introducing him. His record
aa a citizen, as an officer, both civil and
military, is fresh in the minds of the
people, and contains no entry which
they do not endorse—hence, no lengthy
explanation will be called for or reason
required for hi* haring done this or
that His unswerving integrity, hi*
Christian hearing, his patriotism—de
monstrated in both field and forum -
are all well known to the citizens of
Georgia—hence, it will not he necessa
ry for the press to be cousiantlv harp
ing upon tliem. Indeed, we think so
firm a hold has he got on the affections
of the people, that nnnrced by the
press they wii march to the polls ai:d
give him andi a majority as no other
ciisen of the state has ever been honor
ed with."

to learn that hia health hta not been good. He
was however, able to preach, and entertained
bis large andience for upwards of an hour with
an ImpreasiTe and tx sntiful sermon. He chose
no text, but read portions of the flnt chapter of

eternal answer to that question. Take away

The human race i* bound by an instinct as deep

own wants and woes. It is obliged to accept
Christ aa the definite, universal, historical and
unchangeable answer, human and divine, du
table and infinite answer to that question.

before He came He figured in prophecy. Ages

their ceremonies.

INSON, D D.
There was a large and appreciative
congregation asrambled at the First Presbyte
rian church Sunday to hear a discourse from
Rev. J. J. Robinson, D D. npou the history and
cardinal principles of the faith and practice of
Presbyterianism. Rev Mr Martin, the pastor
of the church, was absent, filling the oulpit at
the First Methodist (Dr Harrison’s) church. The
congregation listened to the somewhat lengthy
discourse ol the Rev Mr Sohiaron in
tience sad with absorbing int‘rest. We os*
only present here a brief and imperfect outline of

INDICTMENT AG 4INST THE
MARKHAM CROWD.
Bowr tbe Grinin Convention Repre
sented Wliluky and Oreenbncbn—
CSeo KrUinneyna the Sit
uation.
1 As there have been conflicting re
ports put out as to the character and proceed
ings of the late radical district convention at
Griffin, a Constitution reporter yeaerday ask
ed Joseph ti. W. Mills, the last defeated candi-
for congress in this district,
the old thing really was. Joe is a
good friend to reporters and
always willing to tell what he knows. He did
tell us about the convention, of which he was a
member by proxy for a gentleman wbo was
able to attend by reason of having sick net
his family. Joe is a plain spoken man when
he takes a notion, and in this case he stated
that he was so thoroughly dhguzted that he
thought public justice demanded that a correct
summing up of that convention should be giv-
L He proceeded thereupon to draw for us,
e noted it, tbe following terrible
bill or indictment:
1. That the republican committee of which
Mr. J W Jackson was chairman-waa the only
legal representative committee of the republican
party ol Fdlton county.
A FRAUDULENT COMMITTEE.
11 - Mtumiuoc of which Mr
William Markham claimed to be chairman was
organized and brought into an assumed <
ui office holder’s riug composed almost
entirely of wbbky gaugers, revenue collector!,
revenue store keepers, deputy United Rtete*
marshals, United States commissioners and ex
pectants, to go there with a large repreteutation
of non presidents of the county—who took a
very prominent part in the proceedings without
the least right so to do.
A EEFEN81TK AJLIANCE.
3. That the Maiktmm committee was concoc
ted for the sole purpose to ward off. and drown
the efforts that were bring pushed by the legal
committee having in view a successful and per
manent organization of the republican party—
which desirable result could only be attained
by the removal of several incompetent and dis
tasteful federal officers iu Atlanta.
A FIGHT FOR BREAD AND BUTT KB.
4. That the success of the legal
mittee in effecting certain chang s here,
looked upon in a frenzied
alarm by many of the office holding crew
throughout Georgia, who had long and most
unworthily fattened upon the bounty of the ad
ministration, and were holding their offices by
means of fraudulent deception, and wbo knew
well enough that as an entering wedge had
been driven, tbelr unpalatable* history wonld
likely be unveiled to an already disgusted and
iudignent public.
MARKHAM AS THEIR SAVIOR.
5. That the asserted nomination of Mr. Msrk
ham for congress assures the clan alluded to
that their cause will be championed and that if
elected he would n*e all the influence he could
bring to bear to rivet the chains imposed by
official dynasty sill tighter upon the limbs of
the people.
his partisan zeal.
6. That Mr Markham more than once in the
most wanton manner assailed the private char
acter of gentlemen who were advocating a
trary policy to his own by asserting here and i n
Washington that there was no respectability
attaching to any of the parties, agreeing with
the views of Mr. Jackson by endorsing the
movement against the ring, and he said this in
order if possible to prevent certain pa ties from
being removed, whose heads at the time were
thought to be on the block ready for the exe
cutioner and the basket through and by the ef
forts of what Mar- ham is plessed to term the
-Jackson, Mills and Wimpy ring’’ of the repub
lican party.
BUYING UP A NOMINATION.
7. That Markham, to secure the nomination,
sent bis henchmen ahead to Griffin, and by the
use of whisky and greenbacks, succeeded
through them, in overriding the expressed will
of at least nine-tenths of the republican voters
of the district, by baring himself proclaimed
ihe nominee in the midst ol a wild and drunken
re very.
COUNTIES NOT SF-PRESENTED.
8. That the counties of Crawford, TeKalb*
Fayette, Milton. Monroe, Pike and Upson, con
stituting a majority of the counties in tbe dis
trict were not represented, no conventions hav
ing been held in either of them at which dele
gates could be appointed in conformity with any
honest us ge.
FULTON COUNTY INSULTED
9. That the delegation from Fulton connty of
-which Mr. Jackson wa* chairman was the only
representati ve delegation of the republicans of
Fnlton connty, and that over fifteen hundred
republican voters hare been insulted and in
jured in its rejection by the Markham mob in
convention at Griffin on the 9th insL
NO MARKHAM FOR THEM
10. That the republican party of Fulton connty
and of the district will not allow itself sold out
for whisky and greenback*, and the republican*
of Fulton, or at least nine-tenths of them, haring
been refused representation by theme
hesnl of procedure, our people will affix their
most solemn protest against all the proceedings
snd pledge themselves sink or swim not to
rapport Wm Markham, whose pretended
i nation was the offspring of a detestable manip
ulation* accelerated to accomplishment by
glaring fraud and through the agency of a
drunken mob composed in pert of revenue cot
lectors, revenue gangers, revenue store keepers,
Ptill house minder*, and ccm mi ■toners, post
offioeclerk* and postmasters, expectants, non-
tridents and applicants.
TIN DO XARS A COUNTY.
-ll^ThAt the whole thing was tanned out snd
bbugbL np, and the counties alluded to, vis,
Crawford, DeKtlb, Fayette. Milton, Monroe,
Pike and Upson, were sold to Markham for the
stun of text dollars each, more or leas, hole’ tail,
snd a railroad ticket to and from Griffin in

counties, by biding away wneu the canvass toc
sin *b» T1 sound—^let them flee sway to the
mountain* ofBepddam and thereby preserve
their worthless cares race unworthy profligates
who would bargain their birth rights fora
of pottage.
* ' AN INDZrtNDXNT CANVAS*
That tomest this exigency and bold these
against human, rights and lioofty
to a strict accountability before an indignant
public, it is the unalterable determination of
the republicans of Fulton county snd of the
district, to rapport an independent candidate,
and to call upon all principle loving, law abid
ing republicans to rally to his rapport, feeling
assured that he can bs elected in spite of green
backs and whisky, thns showing to the world,
atMl especially to those ring matters who ha^e
been running in a maddened riot, with the
Eights and liberties of our people, that we do
not submit tike cravens to the nefaxiens scheme
of Markham s nomination, but appealing to
tbe good and true, the fair minded, the honest
and the Juave, call upon them and they only
toratiyaronnd cur independent flag, which,
being borne hr one scar-worn and invincible as
well aa true, must and will lead us to victory.
Then the republican party of the fifth dis
trict will be disenthralled and free. Coming
out of the smoke of battle wfih no <*»»*?

"Markham, whisky, greenbacks, revenue
collectors, United States commissioners, reve
nue gaugers, revenue store keepers, postoffice
clerks, postmaster expectants, non-presidents
ring master*, bummers, and tramps, etc , etc.,
to tbe end of tbe black alphabet.
THEY STAND BT HIM.
As tar as we can ascertain from tho parties
who were at Griffin, and whose voices were stt
fled by tbe whisky-maddened mob, tbe indict
ment aa above drawn by Mr Mills is supported
in every amtrtion and they support him in
every charge therein made.
WIMPY OR MILLS,
it is claimed, will be tbe independent candidate
against Markham, and we are told by leading
colored men that whatever republican chooses
to oppose, Markham will beat him from two to
three votes in every county in the district;: If
he is named for governor, and John Conley put
in hti place, the defeat will ouly be the more
signal and complete.

The Democrats of the Seventh
Congressional District of
Georgia.
My name has been mentioned in
connection with tiie nomination for the seventh
congressional district for the forty-filth con
gress, and I write this letter to say that I believe
that the Interest and harmony ot the democrat
ic party can better be subserved bv my not be
coming a candidate. It has always been my
theory that no good citizen should
desire to, hold . .an office unless
a majority of h!s fellow-citizens con
cur with him in Chat desire. I believe that a
majority of the democrats of this district enter
tain a sympathy (and a very just one) in favor
of Colonel Wm H Dabney for the approaching
Domination. I heartily concur in that sympa
thy, and I respectfully ask my friend* to join
with me in his support. It is useless for me to
admonish mv friends that the s ruggle which is
soon to take place between the two great parties
of this country is to be one of the closest, and
ooe of the most bitter that has ever occurred in
cur history, and one which is fraught with t*he
most vital interests of the people of not ouly our
section but ot sH tho people of this union. My
friends, you are upon your liial, you stand at
the bar of public opinion, by the side oi tha,
party whose great leaders have repeatedly ac
cused you In, the halls of the na .tonal capital,
of everything that is false cruel, barbarous
and Infamous. The great mas* ot the people
are called upon to judge between you. and
their verdict will be rendered at the polls in
November next The eighty thousand office
holders of the admini-tntions are united to a
man. and they head ths column. The ques
tion is,
HOW SHALL WK MEtT THEM?
Shall we, in this hour of travail, permit per
son*! preferences or petty grievances to divide
; shall we permit any trivial cause to bring
confusion in our ranks and s’agger
column in this hour whose exert issue is vital
happiness? In Cod’s namc.no! The
republican party is strong, organized and
pacteit permits no stragglers. Then so much
the more reason why we should perfect the or
ganization ol our party, even in its most miu-
utc parts It matters little who arc our staid
ard-bearers, let us keep our eyes upon the col.
ors, and follow them. We have been singular
ly fortunate in our recent nominations. The
national standard has been placed
the hands of Samuel J Tilden aud
Thomas A. Hendricks. two
well known to the people of all the state*;
whose names are synonyms with honesty, re
form and economical government You have
selected for your chief executive of the slate,
Alfred H. Colquitt, a man whosa public acts,
and whose private virtues have distinguished
him above his fellow-citizens; a msn who pos
all the qualities of soldier, statesman and
Christian gentleman.
DABNEY FOR CONGRESS.
It is needless for me to »ay aught of Wm 11
Dabney, wbo.e name, I believe, is tbe ouly one
jet presented for nomination to represent the
seventh congressional district iu the
next congress. I have know him
siuce I have been old enough to know any man
and I fail to find anything in his character that
does not challenge tho admiration of his coun
trymen, and render him worthy of the highest
honor they can bestow upon him.
Then you will reasonably ask,with such a dec
lsration of principles as we have, and with such
candidates, how can we fall? I answer that 1
believe we can only tail, through want of organ-
izition waut of concert ofaction, want of energy.
Let us organ'zc, not only in the state and
congressional districts, but in each county,
each militia district. Nominate your candi
dates and follow them through to election. Let
us, for once, present a firm, • .lid, uubrokcu
front to the enemy. This done, the march will
be tedious, the battle will be warm, but the
victory sure and complete.
PEBSONAL THOUGHTS.
And now what can I say to you, gentlemeu,
my friends, who have honored me so long? who
have stood by me through good report, and
through bad; you who havo refused to believe
one word of all the slanderous attacks upon
me? No language can express the sent!
merits of my heart, full as it is of af
fectionato gratitude to you. 1 can only aaj
that after a full understanding you will find
that no act of mine has been unworthy of the
confidence and esteem you have placed upon
I have been ever mindful of the respon
sibility I held for so long at your bauds, and
truthfully say that the position which
held was never ised but in the promulgation
o( those great princ plcs, and tbe advancement
of that party, upon whose g.iccess 1 believe d

This is a recognized lad among all
good people. But to deceive by im
parting to yoar grizzled moustache,
grey whiskers or faded hair, a black or
brown color w> natural that it cannot
be detected is eminently proper and ho
breach of good faith. It meets with the
approbation and admiration of the most
polite society. To render it possible to
practice this innocent deceit to perfec
tion, Dr. Tutt bee invented a dye that
is being used in all faahionoble circles
with the happiest results. Its use is
attended with but little trouble; its
effect is instantaneous, and the color it
produces is perfectly natural.

Yesterday morning in:: passengers
on the outgoing passenger train on the Georgia
railroad witnessed a spectacle which thrilled
them and excited their sincere sympathies.
Two little girls, apparently six and eight years
of age, reached Atlanta Monday night
Western and Atlantic railroad train, and were
taken cue of by the gineroui hearted Hewitt of
tne National. Yesterday morning they were
placed on boird of the («eorgia train and takeu
in charge by Colonel John A Stephens rs far
Crawtordville; there that generous hearted and
popular conductor,James I'ureell took them u t-
der his control, and at Barnett turned them
over to the conductor of the Washington branch
A plac.nl on their breast was addressed to Dr
Whitehead of Washington.
The little girls were bright and intelligent. In
answer to questions they said their mother lived
at Sweet Water, Tenn., and not being able to
take care of them was sending them on ton
relative at Abbeville, 3. C. They stated that
their mother had four or five children to take
care of. They stated that their father was not
dead but they did not know »hat had become
of him. The inference Is Uiat the father having
abandoned his wife and children, the mother
had sent her little ones off to a relative to take
twre of, to prevent them from starving. It is a
sad commentary on the timea.

From $17,000 to $20,000 pays the first
custs and the year’s expences for a
yacht the size of tbe victorious Idler,
but it is not a usual thing for yachts to
to be owned by a single individual, but
more frequently by two, or even more
persons, who equally enjoy the sport
and foot the bills. Therefore at the
outside limit for a large yacht the ex-
l>ense for the first year for each two
ow’ners may be set down from $0,000 to
$10,000, and thereafter the outlay will
be only for the running expenses and
repairs, aggregating from $1,600 to
$2,000 yearly.
The original coat of two pair of horsea,
such as would be kept by* the class, of
gentlemen who indulge in the most
extensive yachting, may be stated at
$3,800; one fast trotter, $850; five
horses at livery, $35 per month each,
$429; shoeing for the year, $280; ftes to
four hostlers, $40 per month, or $480
per year; carriage, $1,500; light wagon,

etc., $2,000; a washer $84 and harness
m? n $50 per year, and repairs $20 per
month, or $240 per year, aggregating a

house keeping by the same class of per*

We regret that it becomes ourduty
to give this morning the particulars of a fatal
and frightful accident which occurred yesterday
afternoon at Means Longley &, Robinson’*
steam planing mitt. This accident *s one of
these terrible occmTCUCes aeainst which no
human foresight can provide! It is another
warning th«t men’s lives hang but by a thread
and that no one knows what btw* an hour may
bring forth. Little did tha young man, Whoso
tragic death we are at^o^t to dt scribe, dream
yesterday morning that ere the suu had comple
ted its daily course, he Would be a lifeless
c »rpae. Yet so it was, ana, he has left a wid
owed mother bowed in the deepest grief aad a
community of fellow workmen impressed by an
occurrence they wM not soon forget.
The name of the unfortunate yonng man is
THOMAS I. JOURDAN.
He has been li\ ing iu Atlanta for
greater portion of his Ilf.and for eight >ears
has been off and on employe.! in the extensive
planing mill of Messrs Longley A Robinson
Butler street near the corner of Gilmer. For
the past year he has been s'cadily employed at
the mill. Jourdan was a fiae looking
yonng man about nineteen years of «*ge,
of very excellent chanuvr. and a good
median ic He waa unmarried, and wss
the eldest son of a widowed mother, with whom
he resided *t 108 Droatur street near Messrs
Faith & Morris’s store. His mother has two re
rosining children both of whom are severs
years younger than the deceased.
THE PARTICULARS OF TIIE ACCIDENT,
yesterday as follows.
Jourdan came to his business tsiumt, and
went to work at the moulding machine getting
some mouldings, this machine consults
mainly of a long and keen knife blade, which
when going at full apeod revolves with the
almost incredble velocity of 40,0U) ;
REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE,
The knife is set in an lrou table or frame, am'
can be adjusted bv a lever whicli is reached m
stretching the arm across tho tabic. The ma
chine look* aa hariult as as a lamb to an obeerv
er, but it is ouly necessary to sec that koife cut
ting its way through the toughest wo a, to real
ize what a deadly wound it could inflict. Yes
terday aftemom Jourdan was standing before
the machine, at work, and a trading no parttc
ular attention from the workmen around
Suddenly, at half past four o'clock, one of the
workmen, employed only a short distance from
heic, heard the single exclamation * Oh/'ap
parently jerked cut of the person uttering it by
agony, lie turned in the direction of Jourdau
aud to his inexpressible horror, saw that he had
been caught upon this revolving knife, aud
that it was cutting
ITS WAY INIO HIS VERY VITALS.
The machinery was stopped as soon as
possible but eeveral moments elapsed
before this ooull be accomplished. In the
meantime Jourdan disengaged himself from the
knife, staggered a few naoes away and then fell
tbe floor. The blood was pouring from him
in a p- rtect Rtrc-tm, and one glance at the fear-
iu his stomach, through which bis
cutmils were j rotrud ng, showed that he was a
dying man. The consternation that prevailed
to almost indescribable. The workmou grouped
d the sufferer, and raising him in their
arms, arranged him in a more comfoitable posi
tion, and dispatched instant mesnges for phy
sicians. The news flew rapidly around the
neighborhood, and to Butler street was readily
filled by excited crowds of men, women and
children
investigation of the machine showed the
cause of the accident. The floor around was
covered with shavings, and wry slippery.
Jourdan had occasion to move the crank «t
lever alluded to above, and had to reach acrots
the table, bringing his chest directly above ihe
revolving knife. The lever worked hard, and
in straining at it, Jonrdau’s feet had slipped
from under him. and he fell fonvard
DIBEcri.Y UPON THE KNIFE.
The frightful execution doue by the blade
m»y be realized when we atato that a pitce of
the dying man’s liver was cut completely
body, and precipitated
iuto some machinery twenty
feet distant. Fragments of m ngled flesh
were also cut off and neutered in tiie*:me way.
In a very few moments a'ter lie had been in
jured, medical help arrived iu the persons of
Doctors Martin, Westmoreland and Bragg, but
one g’ancc showed than that poor Jourdan was
past all earthly assistance. At every gasp the
blood poured from him, and he was rapidly be
coming weaker. His death, however, w is one
of tiie most triumphant we have ever known.
As long as his strength enabled him to speak
he conversed calmly with the weeping friends
n round, and from first to last did not give the
Highest indication of fear.
Among those who soon clustered around
Ms uncle, Mr J T Calnway. Uo aakt«!I him if he
kuew him, and the dying man feebly replied,
"Yes, I do its Uncle Josh." Tho nncle then
asked if he was ready to die. He said that he
was that he trusted In tne mercy of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and knew that he was going to
heaven. He told his fe-low workman goodbye
said that he was reconciled to his fate, and bid
them tell his mother goodbye for him.
About this time the poor mother entered in a
pet feet agony ol grief. He feebly put his arm
around her. and tried to comfort her, telling
her to meet him in heaven. He
became rapidly too feeble

■■ twenty negroes rre
killed, and sometimes one white man
is the common report, but every an
nouncement is followed by the stercc -
typed Me that the negroes began the
attack and the whites ^ero acting m
self-defense. The negroes, poof, un
trained, almost unarmed ami unskilled
in the use of weapons, are always rej -

The murder ttfewrilays since of ten ne-
that state. It was the begi uning of the
work of intimidation, a terrible blow
to strike into the heart of the colored
people. Upon a very mean and scan
dalous pretext about three hundred
white men suddenly assembled in this
little town inhabited almost entirely
by colored people, perpetrated t he foul
murders, sent the women aud children
to» the woods in deadly fright and
searched and sacked 1 their humble
homes. Hail a band of Sioux Indiana
pounced upon a peaceable white vil
lage and inflicted such horrors the cry
extermination would have gone up
throughout the land. It is openly pro
claimed that the republican majority of
35,000 in South Carolina is to be over
come and the state carried for Tilden;
and this can be done only by frighten
ing colored men from the polls or com
pelling them by force or fraud to vote
the democratic ticket.
In Mississippi, since reconstruction
in 1SGI), the average republican majori
ty has been over 30,000. In 1872 Grant
carried it by 34,887 votes. Last year,
after a campaign of horrors, the democ
racy carried it by a majority over 48,-
000, and so complete and abject was the
terror that in the county ol Yazoo,
where the republicans had a registered
vote of 2,427, they (>olled but seven
votes, and these were permitted only
that it might be said that republicans
could vote. The white leaguers were
organized into military companies in
every county, well armed, and inarched
up and down the country with threat
ening demonstrations. Murders, whip
pings, and every form of violence were
of daily occurrence, and prominent re
publicans, white and black, were noti
fied to leave their homes on pain of
death. The result was what might have
been anticipated—a bl«>ody, lawless,
wi ked revolution—in whicli a large
majority was overwhelmed by an
armed and murderous minority. Tho
massacres at Hamburg, Vicksbuig,
Clinton, Coucr.atta, Colfax, Red River.

of other places that might be named,
are all of the same character, for tho
same political purpose, and are gene

Gen. Sheridan, while ir command in
