SIR.
LES TIER’S AD MISSION STAVED
2 OFF AGAIN.
It seems to be the determination of the
Bogus Senate to keep Mr. Lester, Senator
rlect from this District, out of his seat until
after all his Express-Agency’s appointments
are confirmed. A special dispatch to the
Augusta Constitutionalist of yesterday says
‘•In the Senate an attempt was made to-day,
before going into executive session, to seat
Mr. Lester, of the 1st District.
“Hinton was opposed to going into execu-
tive session; and stated that a gentleman waB
I on the floor who held his certificate of Section
~ and waa eniitled to his seat as Senator from
member of the Senate.
“Mr. Candler said there is a Senator knock-
| ing at your door who desires to be sworn in.
/ and yon now move to go into executive ses-
3 sion, as much as to say we have not time to
receive him, because there is more important
business to be attended to. Do yon call this
justice? And, if I may use "the expression
do you call this dignified ? I hope we will
not go into executive session noli! we have
disposed of this question.
‘Uhe. previous question was called for and
nominating a Democratic candidate for Con-
C ts. There are obvious reasons why the
onneement of the time for tha meeting of
the Convention should be made at once, and
also why the Convention should, not be held
before the middle or latter part of next
month.
It' is of the highest importance that the
Democrats and Conservatives of the District
should aot with perfect concert and unanim
ity, and that all who are opposed to Radical
usurpation and misrule—all who would res
cue the First District from further degrada
tion and disgrace, should hold themselves
free and ready to co-operate in the support
of the candidate who may be selected by the
representatives of the respective counties
composing the District as best qualified to
command the confidence and unanimous
support of the party.
We wonld further suggest that the Demo
cratic clubs of the several counties in the
District adopt measures to have their coun
ties fully represented in the Convention, and
that provision be made for a mass meeting
and barbecue at the same time and place, to
which the colored Conservatives and Demo
crats of the adjacent counties be cordially
invited. We observe that this method ot
bringing the people of both races together
for mutual explanation and interchange of
views, is being generally adopted with the
most satisfactory results, in the interior Dis
tricts of the State.
We make these suggestions for the consid
eration of onr Democratic and Conservative
friends, from whom we will be glad to hear
on the subject.
(Jill r 4 «t t j,
Since'writing the above we find in the At
lanta Constitution, of Wednesday, the fol
lowing announcements by the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee. It will be seen
that they recommend that the District Con
ventions be held on the 8th of September,
and that a mass meeting be held at Black-
shear in this District on the 7th of October.
We think a later day for the Convention,
with the mass meeting at the same time,
would have been perhaps' better for the in
terests and convenience of the party in this
District; but cheerfully adopt the suggestion
of the Committee:
Congressional Nominating Conventions.—
The State Democratic Executive Committee,
at its meeting yesterday, passed the follow
ing resolution: _
“Resolved, That the several Congressional
Districts in this State be recommended to
bold Conventions as early as practicable to
nominate tbeir candidates for Congress, and
we suggest that the Conventions in each Dis
trict be held on the 8th day of September.”
Mass Meetings are ordered, by the Execu
tive Committee, at the following times and
places: : i -
Cleaveland, White county, Thursday, Sep
tember 10.
Fairmount, Gordon county, Thursday, Sep
tember 17.
LaFayette, Walker coanty, Thursday, Sep
tember 24.

J ackspnyiUej_Telfair jiounty l ^Wednesday,
Thf Atlanta Intelligencer of Wednesday
gives an account of the negro outrage in
that city on Tuesday night pretty nearly as
reported by our dispatch. The Intelligencer
adds:
It
sustained, and the motion to go into execu
tive-session carried—yeas io, nays 18.”
Thus the mere formality of seating the Sena
tor from this district of whose right to his seat
there is not so much as a. pretense of doubt,
was staved off another day.. We re
ceived no dispatch from'Atlanta last night,
and therefore are not informed of the pro
ceedings of yesterday.
THOMAS TELFAIR LONG.
The Tallahassee Floridian is showing up the
political tergiversations of this quondam seces
sionist, who has recently been appointed to the
Judgeship of the 3d Judicial Circuit of Florida
by the carpet-bag Governor of that State, as
the price of his apostacy. We here think a
tip top, a No. 1 sea'awag wonld command
something handsome in Florida when a Judge
ship is not considered too high a price for Tom
Long. The carpet-bag Governor of Florida
must hold his Judgeships very cheap, or he has
greatly overrated his man. A little- change in
his political opinions and principles, like
change of air, is indisdensable to the Judge’s
health. He’s accustomed-^to it. We remem
ber Nome years ago when he travelled all over
New England and didn’t find bjit ! “one solitary
abolitionist that he could put his'finger upon.”
That trip cost him a hat. ,, ^ g ,,
THE SAVANTiAli ’’AND £, iVETB-FO OL
STEAMSHIP ARNE.
The Tallahassee Floridian, alluding to the es
tablishment pi the MacGreggor Line of Steam
ships between this city and Liverpool, says:
“Savannah shipped of the 600,000 bales of
cotton received, over 260,000 bales to foreign
ports. This shipment of itself will sustain the
line handsomely, to say nothing of return
frei
“We congratulate the city upon the brilliant
prospect before her of soon becoming a large
direct importing port, from which interior
merchants can be sugplied with goods direet
from the foreign parketsofthe. world'”,, , ,
Let the merchants of thVihterior cities and
towns act in concert with those of Savannah
in. giving encouragement and business to the
Siyannah and Liverpool steamships, and there
will be no deficiency of return of freights.
By the report of the proceedings of the
Radical Convention, which we publish in
another, column, ft will be ,seen' that the
Elector appointed for this District is Colonel
Aaron Wilbur, of this city, not A, Well-
bonme, as reported by telegraph. Colonel
Wilbnr is absent, and has been absent from
the State for some time, and we think it very
doubtful wijether ^jei will accept tha honorable
position tenderedhim by the ‘cal-Negro,
The mob of negroes, galhering volume cob
stantly, assumed proportions which War
ranted apprehensions of a fearful riot. By
the advice of two citizens, the Deputy Mar.
shal, Mr. Murphy, waited on Gov. Bullock,
stated the condition of affairs, and requested
aid to disperse the assembly. The Governor
informed Mr. Murphy that he had no force
at his command, and farther, that General
Meade coaid not call out the military for any
purpose without first communicating with
the President.
The Governor, however, advised Mr. Mur
phy to get Campbell, the colored Senator,
and Turner, the colored member of the House
of Representatives, to proceed Io the scene
of disturbance and use their influence
to
quiet the excitement among the negroes
To this end the Governor gave Mr. Alurpby
a note to those individuals who were en
gaged in a meeting in Bell Johnson .HalL
•We presume this plan was successful, as up
to their meeting we have heard of no re
newal of difficulties.
The affair commenced among the negroes
themselves, one of whom was arrested at the
request of those with whom he was making
a difficulty. The officers, in the discharge
of their duty, were assailed by a negro mob
and one of their number wounded. To pre
vent a rescue, they were compelled to return
the fire of the negroes, by which one negro
was killed and others wounded. But it is
just such affairs as this, to which every South
ern community is exposed by Radical rule
and Radical teaching, that will be made the
pretext for appeals to the War Department
for large bodies of troops to be thrown
nmnnnel no . S »>’
amongst us. “Let ub have peace 1 .”
The negro killed , in Atlanta op. Tuesday
night was a resident of that city, formerly
of Augusta,-named Ed. '-Hall. The pistol
was fired by one of Jus own color. He was
not engaged in the riot, but was merely a
looker-on.
The Radicals have possession of the munici
pal government of Montgomery, Ala. The
Mml says that ohebf their first acts was to pass
an ordnance prohibiting the arrest of negroes
by white policemen. They 'have appointed
negro policemen to do all the arresting of ne
groes. I* no t this making a distinction be
tween the races?
Subjugation of the Southern Whites to
Social Equality with -the Negroes
The ingenuity of the arch-fiend himself
says the Washington Express could con
trive no equal to the tortnres inflicted upon
the whites ot the South by the itinerant vag
abonds sent by the Radicals to force them
into resistance. What is called a ‘‘School
System” is about to be forced upon the peo-
i >le of Louisiana, which among other equally
diabolical features, contains the following
Section 6 of chapter 6 provides , for the
i compulsory attendance at school or places ol
correction of all the children between the
ages of eight and fourteen who are without
ixed employment, such places of correction
ind schools to be provided by the Board of
Education at he expense of the parents or
piardians, or, in case of their poverty, at
be expense of the school fand, in the dis
cretion of the board.
Tnis provision, with its context, needs no
elucidation. Its purpose is patent and its
terms abundantly effective. It plainly com
pels the whites not only to educate the ne
groes, bat forces their children, male and fe
male. into a promiscuous commingling with
the negro race In schools common to both,
jandin “places of correction" provided for
innishment of snch as refuse the mon-

introduced some time since and made tin
special order lor to-day, reorganizing the
municipal government of Augusta, which
has so long been under the control of the
“Little Perjurer."
The bill introduced some time since I tele
graphed you in-full. To-day the bill^was a
little altered and passed. Its provisions are
that the election shall be held on the eighth
ol next October. That the city officers
chosen at this election shall hold their offices
until the month of April in the coming year.
It also provides that the registration of voters
at this election shall commence on the fifth
day following after the passage of this bill,
under the supervision of a Board oi Regis
tration composed of the following named
persons: J. C. Snead, Judge of the City
Court: William R. McLaws, Judge of the
County Court; EUory M. Bray ton, Clerk of
the Superior Court; Wm. Doyle and Mr.
Robert Harper.
Every one who wishes to register his name
on the list must take the oath heretofore pre
scribed for voters, and every voter under
sixty years of age is required to pay the sum
of one dollar in lien of poll tax. It empow
ers the superintendent of registration to ap
point the judges of election, and, requires
them to give t9n days -public notice of-their
appointment. It provides that Hie polls
shall be open from the hoar of eight o’clock
in the morning on the day of election until
six o’clock in the evening. Every, person
voting at this election is required to present
his certificate of registration, which the man
agers of the same most seal up in' the Clerk
ot' Council’s office. If the certificate of rer-
gistration is lost it may be duplicated till two
o’clock on the Tuesday preceding the elec
tion. No distinction on account of color in
registering is made by this bill. It' provides
that all future municipal elections in Augusta
be held on the second Monday in April as
under existing laws.
The bill was put apon its passage, with the
following result—ayes, 80; nays, C7.
BRYANT OPPOSES IT. -
J. E. Bryant strongly oppofeed the passage
of Ihe bill, and gave notice that he would
present a motion to-morrow to reconsider
the vote on the subject. He said that the
bill would never become a law if passed,
which, I suppose, means that the Governor
will veto ft. amt J tin
bhyant’s militia.
The Skowlieganite introduced a bill in the
Honse to-day which provides for the organi
zation and disciplining "of one. thousand
“loil” militia in each Congressional District,
for the purpose of “bossing” the election,
suppressing Ku Klux, <fcc. The worthy
carpet-bagger is evidently a warm admirer
of Parson JJrownlow and bis Tennessee mi
litia system, and is anxious to have the’latter
pat in operation in the State of Georgia.
! K £ THE«SENATE.
. This body for once performed a hard day 1
work; but whether it was a good dayjs work
remains to be proven. The Senate had two
sessions to-day, both of which were execu
tive ones. The following nominations by
the Governor were confirmed:
J. A. Green, oCUpson county, to be Judge
of the Flint circuit; L. M. Andrews, of New
ton county, to be Solicitor.- - .
Mr. Haroll, of Webster county, to be
Judge of the Pataula judicial circuit.
Mr. J. M. Clark, of Sumpter county, to be
Judge of the Southwestern Circuit ; and
Whitley, of Decatur county, to be Solicitor.
W. F. Cram, of Towns couoly, was nom
inated several days since for Judge of the
the Blue Ridge Circuit; but being objected
to by the Governor his name has been with
drawn.
PROBABLE NOMINATIONS.
The following individual nominations will
be made by the Governor in a very short
time.
Mr. Roberson, of Green county, will be
nominated tor Judge of the Oemulgee Cir-
co nceiitiaMr a “rafgOT "fd&'Tfdir JdnfirmaTum
than any man of his politics in the whole
circuit. He is well known, both as a law
yer of ability and a high-toned gentleman.
Thomas W. White, of Baldwiu county, is
an applicant for the place of Solicitor for
this Circuit, and would give satisfretion if
appointed. Mr. Fleming Jordan, however,
will get the nomination. If the wishes of
the people of the Circuit were consulted,
Mr. Blonnt, of Jones county, who was
elected over several opponents at the late
election, would be the nominee.
Pope, the law partner of Joseph E. Brown/
will be nominated for Judge of the Coweta
Circuit. Collier, the present incumbent, is
an applicant for the place, but does not stand
the shadow of a chance. John Thomas, of
Ftilton county, will be nominated for Solid
|or oi this circuit. .
No nomination haB yet been made for
your circuit. Some seem to think that Gib
son will not get it after all. Nothing definite;
however, is known on the subject. One of
the rumors is that Bryant is working for the
place himself.

On Wednesday last D. Hall Rice and his

enlighten the colored people on the subject
of politics. Secret letters were sent ronnd
to the supposed faithful notifying them of
the time and place. The Young Men
Democratic Clnb got wind of it in time to be
ready for the grand demonstration.
When they came a committee waited upon
them and pursnaded them to hold their
meetiDg in the town, and not off in the

mittee proposed to famish speakers to take it
tnrnabont with them. It was agreedfo and
tfie committee or club have no reason to re
gret the result. The eyes of the colored peo
ple are being opened to some I of the enor
mities of this Radical party, and are de
serting it like rats a sinking ship. Some
that belonged to the League are quitting it,
and many are joining the colored club.
They are fast becoming satisfied that the
carpet-baggers have only, practiced decep
tion upon them, and we admonish fhese men
again that it wonld be wise to stay away, or

R. Lamar, editor of Ihe Sun, a splendid gold
pen and case as a token of theiir high appre

defending the rights of the South and in re

The New Orleans Times has received the
annexed letter from a well-known and high
ly esteemed citizen residing at Hammond
Station, on the New Orleans and Jackson
Railroad, in Livingston parish:
Hammond, La., August 12, 18G8.
To the Editor, of the Ifetd D^ldfoa lDmes:
On the evening of die F2th of August a
Democratic meeting, composed of white and
cblored people, took placa at Hammond Sta
tion. The orator, who was a colored man,
(Stephen Dnrddb,) standing upon ithe front
gallery of my residence, harangued the
crowd in a manner sensible, earnest, and oc
casionally hnmorons. threats had been
made against his life by hfa Radical oppo
nents; bat, to use iffig “He
could die bnt once, nor could he die by
sword or gun unless God so willed it, and
that he hoped when his Sammons came it
would tindihim in the discharge ofhjs duty."
His words would seem to have been pro
phetic, for though the meeting: passed away
without disturbance, and ,the crowd dis
persed with apparent qdte ! f, no sooner had
the orator reached bis own door than he was
qhot in the back by some bidden foe, who,
qs if to make his woik certain, lodged eleven
buckshot in his body, occasioning wounds
Which'nenstrprover mortal. Stephen Darden
has.always, maintained a character for .hon
esty and industry, and has claimed the re
spect of all who knew him; In days of sla-
tery.he was faithful, and—as he said him-
self—how that he was endowed witbr- free-*
dom, he wished to do an honest part by the
oonnflty-’of-his birth. -1 at
