Marlon Methane we. H. K. Harris.
As has already been noticed in this
paper, Judge Bethune, of Talbot county,
has notified CoL Harris, of Greenville,
of his intention to contest his claim to a
seat in the Honse of Representatives of
the United Btates as a member of the
Forty-Third Congress, to whicn Col.
Harris is elected. We understand that
one of Bethnne’s allegations is to the
effect that the Democratic party at La-
Grange, in Tronp county, by means of a
fight gotten up between a colored man
and a white man, and the free use of
threats, alarmed the colored people, all of
whom were Republicans, and that nine
hundred and fifty colored voters were
afraid to go ont to the election—all of
whom, Bethune says, would have
voted for him for the said office.
We give the substance of the above al
legation for the purpose of commenting
thfrtOD, us we were a resident of that
community at the time mentioned. A
few weeks previous to the Republican
Congressi jnal District Convention,which
assembled on the 11th of September,
tee Republican party of Troup county—
ill negroes with one or two exceptions—
met iu the Court House, at LaGrange
for the purpose of appointing their dele
gates to the Congressional Convention
and to nominate county officers. Dur
ing the progress of the meeting a white
man, claiming to be a Republican, and
acting with them, approached a negro iu
an assaulting attitude iu resentment of
something tno negro had said in regard
to the nomination of some one for Sheriff 1 ,
the white man aspiring to the same posi
tion.
The difficulty between the two arrayed
a large number of the negroes against
♦tie white man, and the cry of “kill
him!’ “it is a white man!” etc., wa?
raised. Upon this the white man fled
ont of the court-house, and was fiercely
pursued by the negroes, who were ouiy
prevented from committing murder upon
the person of one of their white parti
sans by the prompt action of the Mayor
and a few citizens. This is the true
statement of tne case in substance as it
occurred. It was a riot among the par
tisans of Mr. Bethune--the “ fight cot-
ten up between a colored mm and a
white man.”
We have always understood that Mr.
Bethune is a man of veracity. If he
goes before Congress with such a false
allegation as the above, he will forfeit
the respect of every honest man in the
State. But it is the policy of the Re
publican party, and we suppose poor old
man Bethune is compelled to obey all
orders in carrying out the nefarious
schemes of “the party.”
The negroes of Troup county have al
ways been allowed to assemble iu their
public meetings, and to go to the polls
without the slightest molestation. The
truth is, there were a number of the col
ored people who declined to substitute
Bethune for Bigby, who had declined to
run in favor of Bethune.

humiliation of the Democratic party.
The first hour in which the words
“New Departure” were printed, in that
hoar the wedge was entered that, little
by little, was at last driven home to the
riving of the Democratic party. Before
that first fatal and cowardly word was
written, the Democratic party was slowly
but surely recovering its strength, its
standing and influence in the country.
It was getting back to its command of
lost States, cities, and districts. It had
run its membership in Congress from
l'-'w down in the forties np to over a hun
dred. It was in the ascendant, its rank
and file were strong, steady, confident,
and, hopeful, and all the politi
cal signs of the times were full of fair
promise that at its then rapid rate of
progression, unmolested by marplots of
easv virtue, it would Lave attained to a
majority in the electoral college in No
vember, 1872. The first effect of the
slog-n of abasement of the Democratic
creed, so wittily and so sneeringly and
so assiduously sounded by Waterson and
his passitives, was to break the backbone
of the Democracy and cut short the ac-
cietion of the Conservative elements of
the country that were rapidly crystalizing
on its solid form.
Put the smart pol-ticians, who were
impatient of the slow but straight and
open paths of honor that led to a triumph
worthy of the party and the cause, be
thought them of certain short-cut meth
ods of reaching the prize, taking little
need of how it shou'd be smirched by
those methods, aud entirely oblivious of
the fact that a great cause finds its great
est strength in i.s fidelity to its mission
and the brave integrity of its champions.
The philosophy of the Passive and
the Liberal movement was to de
compose the two great rival parties, aud
to build up a conquering one out of the
weak material sloughed off from both.
The result was that the chaff was win
nowed irom the wheat in both the Radi-
cil aud Democratic carries, and the chaff
fell to Cincinnati and Baltimore. The
policy not only elected Grant by default,
but it blew the so-called Democratic and
Liberal attempt at a coalition to the
winds. The nomination of Mr. Greeley
was the inevitable sequenco of this adap
tation of the Missouri policy to a case in
no ways parallel to it.
The Democracy was sold, and the en
dorsement at Baltimore was hardly dry
on paper before the hollowness of the
compact became visib'e. We do not
mean to aver that thousands of sound
Democrats and truly patriotic Conserva
tive Republicans were not drawn to the
support of the Greeley ticket. But
“lira mi” is the word, and it was like
“drawing” .liem by their heari-strings to
expected defeat. Carl Scharz never
struck his flag until the Fifth Avenue
conference proved to him that farther
resistance fm weak coalition, weakly or
ganized, was in vain.
The Register opposed it to the last,
until it was forced to see that it had to
stand idle iu a great battle or follow a
forlorn I ope against an enemy it had to
fight under all circumstances of good or
bad report, of hope or despair. The
men, then, who defeated the Democratic
party were the men who broke down its
courage by abusing its standard. We
have high respect for the Democrats who
stood against the “ Passive” movement.
Although we differed with them at the
time as to policy, we could not but re
spect the courage of their position.
claim in disregard of qualifications, yet
with a patriotism broad as the State, it is
bat fair and proper to distribute the
honors and duties abroad over the State.

Oglethorpe Again.
Near Lexington, Ga., Jan. 4, 1873.
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel: Iu
looking over your paper of the 25th of
last month, I noticed a piece dated the
11th of December, and signed “Craw
ford.” I was perfectly astonished that
any man or set of men in Oglethorpe
county shonld publish 6uch absurdities,
aud to be certam to escape responsibili
ties, 6ign “Crawford.” On the 3d oi
December last there was quite a lage
meeting of the citizens of Oglethorpe
county at Lexington. The meeting of
the Democratic party was called in the
house where many of them assembled.
Iu the closing up oi the meeting, when
many had gone out, leaving more than
three dozen of the party, instead of
some half dozen, tke resolution was of
fered recommending our members elect
to the House of Representatives and
Senator for this district to vote for Hon.
A. H. Stephens for the United States
Senate (should his name be presented to
♦ he Legislature), aud when the vote was
beiDg taken to adopt the resolution, F.
H. Hawkins, Esq., standing outside the
bar, moved that tho name of A. H.
Stephens be stricken ont, and the name
of General Gordon be inserted.
The last move being first in order, the
vote was taken and a large majority voted
against it. Then the vote was taken for
the adoption of the resolution as it stood,
and the loud cry in favor was such that
but very few lowly said no. If tue name
of Colonel B. H. H'U was callelinthe
meeting I never heard it. As to Mr.
Stephens’ influence being goue, and his
name being obnoxious to nine-tenths of
the people in Oglethorpe county, I never
before heard of any such thing, neither
do 1 believe a word of it.
As to Mr. Stephens’ physical infirmi.
ties, thank God he is yet alive and, I
learn, his health is improving. And
mentally if there is any deficiency I
have not heard of it. I long for the time
to come when our people, irow the high
est to the lowest order, may become de
voted, religiously aud politically, to his
principles of simple, truth and honesty

Ia consequence of the report that the
bill removing the**‘disabilitifb” of several
prominent Georgians had been laid on
the table in the Senate, upon the repre
sentations of H. P. Farrow, charging
Hon. Thomas Hardeman “with instigat
ing the election emente in Macon,” we
learn that CoL Hardeman has telegraphed
Senator Hill to drop his name from the
bill, in order that he should not stand m
the way of the relief of the other parties
therein named.
There ia just enough of the Radical
party left in Georgia to stir np a little
trouble occasionally to the detriment of
the rights of others. If they can woiry
any portion of oar people in the manner
above stated, for instance, they fesl, no
doubt, that they have served their party
to the extent of their capacity to do so,
and are therefore entitled to some con
sideration at headquarters.
The above charge against Coi. Harde
man is in perfect aocord with old man
Bethune’s efforts to contest the seat of
CoL Harris, memoer elect to Congress
from the Fourtu District,on the most false
allegations; and both are in the spirit of
the Ailauta letter of the 3Lt nit., pub
lished iu the New Y<rk Times, over ti e

Increase of Our Circulation.
The rapidity with which the circula
tion of The Sun is increasing is very
gratifying. We are flattered by this ap
preciation on the part of the public of
our efforts to make it one of the livest
papers in Georgia, and 6hall spare no
pains or effort to make it the advocate of
a genuine Democracy. The rapidly in
creasing circulation of The Sun will in
spire our best energies. It shall be a re
flex of all that is true in sentiment, as
regards the grand old State of Georgia—

En Route, January 3, 1873.
Mr. Editor: Georgia has not less than
fifty-eight thousand square miles of ter
ritory, and he that adds but an item to
the general information renders a service.
In this glance, with Macon as a point of
departure, I propose to present “ a bird’s
eye view” of the regions Southeast, South
and Southwest.
Macon is on the line between the oak
and the pine region. Above Macon is a
pleasant country, and one blessed with
soil, climate and varied products. In its
pristine virgin state, it was the ultima
thule of desire, aud though now wasted
and worn by reckless cultivation, is yet a
land of promise; for the ruthless hand
ot mau has not been able to destroy the
bountiful gifts of nature. The climate
is bracing, the water cool and pure, the
farmers iudustrioae, the homes, the
abodes of hospitality and comfort, the
ladies, among the fairest, best, that bless
and brighten life.
Now look Southward over the pine
country, perchance unknown to poetry
and song and over-loosed in the list that
makes up the commercial valves of the
country. The oak is a noble tree, but
the pine is not less stately and valuable.
The pine forests are more valuable than
cold mines or diamond fields. The
forests of Maine, and along the Western
rivers and lakes are being rapidly ex
hausted. The pine of North Carolina
and Alabama is better for turpentine
than lumber. From the banks ot the Sa
vannah river to the Altam iha, the timber
increases in quality aud value. Between
the Altamaha and the Alapaha the pine
reaches its highest perfection, by reason
of climate, soil and topography. A ves
sel laden with lumber on the Savannah
river, will sink two inches deeper than if
freighted with Carolina pine, and the
lumber west of the Altamaha to the east
bank of tne Alapaha will ‘sink a vessel
two inches more than that taken from
the banks of the Savannah. Tbis shows
the solidity of of the wood and the value
of the timber.
But this region has resources indepen
dent of the wealth of its pine forests.
Oats and the sweet potato ore a specialty
as adopted to the soil and climate.
Corn does well, not in the large return
per acre, bat in withstanding the ordeals
of seasons, and under skillful labor
yielding fonrteen to fifteen bnshels per
acre. Florida may boast of cane and
potatoes, but for the bweet potato in
perfection, and for the clearest, most
palatable syrap commend me to the pine
region of Georgia. In addition to all
these, cotton repays the labor of the
skillful farmer.
Southwest Georgia haa not prospered
as it might since the war, because the
out-look has Dean too much towards
“Cotton aa King.” That pedantic, por
tentous book, entitled “Cotton is King,”
did much to ruin us during oar heroic
straggle for liberty and the Constitution.
The cotton grower, isolated as he is, who
stakes his means on ootton, is bound on
We Only Wnnt to Know, Yon Know
From the Columbus Sun. January 9.
Less thsn a year ago Mr. Stephens, of Georgia,
pronounced Liberalism “the sum of all Radical in*
lamies." Not mneb more than a year ago Mr. John
Forsyth declared that be "would not give s pipeful
of Kentucky tobacco for the Democratic party if it
endorsed the hateful constitutional amendment*."
Matt GaUoway, who makes a habit of diseounting
Stephens and Forsyth, swore that the repudiation of
the XIVth and XVih amendments was the cardinal
faith of the true Democrat, wherever he might be
found. Well, as we are beginning a new year, we
only want to know, you know!—LouitviUe Courier
Journal.
Mr. Stephens has denied that he ever
used the expression, but it^s on a par
with the other numerous falsehoods ut
tered against the Georgia statesman by
such pigmies as Watterson, whose legs
are too feeble to carry the old boots of
Prentice. If Mr. Stephens clings to the
principles ot Democracy—Local Govern
ment as opposed to Presidential and Con
gressional Centralization, he is denounced
as an “Old Fogy Red Hot, a Revolution
ist and guilty of Jits! ” If he advocates a
resort to the forum of reason instead of
arms to remove the evils of the “nail
and void” amendment accepted by “Lib
eralism,” and ont of which has sprung
the troubles of Louisiana, Arkansas and
Alabama, and the oppressions, imprison
ment and starvation of the Carolines, he
is by these Bsme “Liberals’^?) called an
unreconstructed Rebel, with his hand
always on his sword. Here is beautiful
consistency !
We cannot answer the assault on Mr.
Forsyte, better than to quote his own
words, from the Mobile Register of the
5th. He says, in reply to the would-be

Our New York exchanges tell of the
sharp trick pi >yed by a St. Louis woman
who Personated the authoress, Mrs. A.
M. Diaz, and succeeded iu swindling
several persons. She was married in
this city a few years ago to one Dyce, but
subsequently tell by the wayside, ceased
to be numbered among respectable wo
men, and has been living ever since by
her wits.
Her protector tried to provide for her
by establishing her in a boarding house,
but the farst thing that she did was to
have the furniture sold at auction and
spend the money. A place was found
her as a teacher in the public schools,
but she refused to teach after two or three
days’ trial. Her next resource was 10
collect funds to buy tickets for herself
aud child to return to St. Louis. She is
quite attractive, of slight figure, with a
delicate face.
Her story of being wronged and de
serted won the sympathies of many peo
pie, and she was on the eve ot departure
ior this cicy for a year or two, as many
gentlemen who hardly tlioaght it delicate
to hand a suffering woman less than the
full amount of her fare have now learned
Sho interested members of Beecher’s
cnurch in her case at the same time, and
a handsome wardrobe was provided for
her at the expense of a generous gentle-
mau and his wife in that congregation.
A year ago last summer she went to
New London, Conn., introducing herself
as Mrs. Diaz, authoress of the “William
Henry Letters,” and received a great
deal of attention. Parties and serenades
were given her, and by representing
herself as a struggling authoress, she got
her board at the Boston house at a merely
nominal rate. Finding the role so sue
cessful she went back to New York to
play it more boldly.
Before this, however, she had made
the acquaintance of many literary peo
ple, who now remember their wonder at
finding as they phrased it, “so little to
Mrs. Diaz.” She called on the wife of
the Hon. Walter Dupuy, in Brooklyn,
while he was absent in Georgia, and in
troduced herself ou aa assumed invita
tion from him, and his return he found
that she had been under his roof about
three weeks.
Her powers of pleasing had been so
skillfully used that his wife was warm in
her admiration of the supposed author
ess, and 8 tie could hardly be brought to
accept his word that Mrs. Diaz was an
impostor. Mrs. Dupuy wrote to Messrs.
Osgood <fc Co., for the address of their
contributor, and learned that the real
Mrs. Diaz was in Plymouth. She wrote
iurther to Mrs. Diaz and received an
answer that the latter lady had never
been in Brooklyn, and was deeply pained
to learn that some impostor was casting
discredit on her name.g
After being exposed by Mrs. Dupuy,
the pretender tried to find a home at Sc
Barnabas’ Honse and tne Stranger’s Rest,
but her claims fonud little respect at
either place. She was taken in at the
Stranger’s Rest out of pity, and while
there criticised her treatment, saying
that where she nsnally boarded, people
showed her the compliment of giving her
her breakfast in bed, as she was in deli
cate health.

NAPOLE >N’S CORPSE.
London, Janu.irv 13. —A dispatch to
the agent of the Associ:ttt?d Press from a
friend of the imperial family at Chizle-
hurst, gives tue following inscription of
the scene there: The remains of the late
Emperor have been placed in the coffin.
The corpse is dressed iu the uuiforrh of
a Field Marshal. The upper lip is hear,
the moustache having been cut off to
facilitate taking the plaster cast.
The beard, which remains in brown,
and the bushy features are stern and
careworn, and have an expression of
pain. A Grand Cordon of the Legion of
Honor lies across his breast. His hands,
which were ungloved, were disposed iu
au easy and natural manner, the right
clasping the left. Ou the iourth finger
cf the left hand is a ring
with several diamonds, which wen
placed there by the Empress,
A small cross of exquisite workmanship
lines on liis breast, aud on the corpse are
placed three sprigs of holly; over his
head a crown of violets is suspend d.
At the foot of the coffin is a brass camp
bedstead, on which tlio Emperor
tried. Seated on either side, at
the lower end of the coffin, are
a Priest and a Religeuse. The furniture
of the room, as well as of the whole man
sion, is simple aud unostentatious. The
body will lie in state on Tuesday, at the
entrance of the hall of the chapel. The
general public will not be admitted to
view the remains. No change lias been
made in the time and place of the funeral
anil burial, as last announced. The cere
monies will probably begin at noon on
Wednesday.
THE CLOUD OF SORROW.
The Empress is overwhelmed with sor
row, and her prostration is so great as to
alarm ‘-er attendants. The Prince Im-
pi rial does all in his power to comfort
her. The Empress has received letters
of condolence from the Emperor of Rus
sia and tbo King of Italy. Although
none but the relatives aud intimate
friends of the deceased are aumitted,
Chizlehurst is crowded with visitors.
She found two elderly ladies of the
Episcopal Church, wh>m she interested
by her violent zeal as a member of the
same faith, to snch au extent that they
provided her with ten dollars a week out
of their slender income. At the same
time she went to a honse in Madison ave
nue, giving Mrs. Dupuy’s name as refer
ence, and, as she pats it, “the lady of
tbe bouse was very happy to give me
board for the pleasure of my company.”
Exposed in Madison avenue by tbe in
dignant lady a hose name she cboeed for
reference, her last move was to Earle’s

When her bill was presented at the
week’s end, she went to the cUrk to say
that she was wrifng a series of articles for

A SORROWFUL PREACHER.
Religious services were held this
morning in the Chapel, which was filled
to repletion. Princess Mathilde, Rouher,
and Pietrie andDrs. CoDneau aud Cou-
visseaur were present. Father Goddard
attempted to preach, but was overcome
by his feelings and was compelled to
leave the pulpit.
ARRIVALS.
John Bondetti arrived at Chizlehurst
to-day and was received by the Empress.
M. Ollivier and Marshal McMahon are ex
pected there to-morrow. Princess Murat
and suite arrived this evening. A great
number of people from France are ex
pected to come to the fuDPral. The
Southeastern and Northern Railway of
France have reduced rates of fare for the
poorer classes attending the funeral.
NAPOLEON iv.
It is reported the Prince Imperial has
already assumed the title of Napoleon
the Fourth. This report is doubtless
incorrect, but it is true Prince is now
addressed as “Sire” by all the visitors at
Chizlehurst.
SURMISES.
The impression is gaining ground that
tbe Emperor died from the effects of
chloroform, administered to assuage his
pain.
IN FRANCE.
Paris, 1 January 13.—It is said that the
French Government will permit the final

THE JEWS IN ROUMANIA.
Washington, January 12.—The diplo
matic correspondence accompanying the
President’s au.mal message has just been
printed. It appears from the document
that our government addressed letters to
all of our Ministers iu Europe, instruct
ing them to represent to the respective
governments to which they are accredited
the deep interest taken by the United
States iu the Jews of Roumania, aud to
asl^ their good offices iu protecting them
trom outrages aud persecutions. It is
officially represented that tho ill treat
ment is not connecten with tue relig.ons
question, but concerns labor, and that
the Romn-iuia government finds it a diffi
cult t sk tu so act as to preserve the pub
lic tranquility, and at the sumo time sat
isfy public opinion. Tho Roumanian
people call on their government to take
measures to prevent the country being
overrun by Jews, aud the authorities
fear to take tho required action, through
fear of offending tho tolerant spirit of
Europe. Owing to this state of things,
the country is kept in a constant state of
agitation, whicn, prejudicial as it is to tho
interest of the province, serves tho aims
of those who desire to render stable gov
ernment impossible iu Roumania, aud
thus to facilitate its absorption by neigh
boring powerful states. Mr. Plixotto,
cur Consul at Bucharest, iu a communi
cation to the State Department, says it
is a source of satisfaction to kuow that
the action alre dy taken, and that con
templated by the pow ers, of directly par
taking political control, is likely to has
ten the results had in view by our gov
ernment, when, in his appointment, it
sought to exercise a moral influence in
the same direction.
