D. Pope, 'Of Fulton county.to be Jndge of
the Coweta Circuit.
In tie House -the little scalawag Bryant

abnsedin-unmeasured terms those Republi

His express-agency’s appointments not yet
being all confirmed, Mr. Lester is still un
seated.
RADICAL Ab&RK AID DESPERATION.
The New York Tribune, in the course ol
an editorial rally which indicates the editor’s
apprehensions of defeat says: “We most not
be beaten.” The Radicals are beginning to
realize their position, which is very much
like that of a man who having hold of an
enraged ball by the home, is affable to ‘.’hold
his holt,” and is afraid to let go. The Radi
cal party, having by deception and falsehood
obtained possession -of the government, have
resorted to every species of usurpation and
lawlessness to perpetuate their power. And
now, as they can no longer shut their eyes to
the risi ng storm of popular reprobation and
indignation, conscious of their own in
famy, they fear the fierce retribution of a
wronged, betrayed and outraged people.
Well may the false philosopher and higher-
law prophet of the New York Tribune, who
.sowed the wind that bred the rising hurri
cane, in terror of the doom that ayraits him
and his followers, exclaim, “Wa must not
be beaten !” We wonder Rfii ;&tfi*W&t mad
desperation; for theirsnccess is hopeless, and
defeat is fearfnl retribution and despair.
W^AT IT gOSTS THE PEOPLE TO
SUPPORT CARPET-BAGGERS., 1
The difference in the oost of administering
the Constitutional Government of Florida,
and that inaugurated by the carpet-baggers
and scalawags, is shown, in two items—the
Executive and Judiciary Departments—by the
editor of the Monticello Gazette. The total
amount of salaries of the officers of the Ex
ecutive and Judicial Departments, lor the
year 1865 was $34,900. The salaries of the
officers and judges of the same departments,
under the carpet-bag constitution, amount to
$69,000. By which it will be seen that the
people of Florida pay a bonus of $34,100
per annum for the privilege of being mis
governed, degraded, outraged and plun
dered by negroes, carpet-baggers and
scalawags.
If such is the amonnt to which the little
State of Florida is robbed in only two
branches of her State Government, what will
be the amount of which onr own Stite will
be plundered with each unscrupulous and
unprincipled men as Bnllnck, Brown and
Hulbert controlling her Exexntive, Jndicial
and Financial affairs.
Wkat an Abeay of Talent and Charac
ter!—The following carpet-baggers and
sclawags comprise the Republican Execu
tive Committee of Georgia : C. H. Hopkins,
John .Murphy, J. H. Caldwell, John Harris,
J. E. Bryant, J. A. Wimpy, Sam. Bard, J. F.
Long and J. T. Cost in.
Names to be remembered. For the honor
of the race, be it said, not a negro among
them.
Important Decision.—Secretary Brown
ing has decided that an “indefinite postpone
ment” by. the Senate of a bill which has
passed the House was not a final disposition
of the matter by Congress, bat only a post
ponement of it until the next session. This
decision is given lathe' McGarrah ease, and
involves the titie to the new Idria quicksilver
mine of California) valued at a million and a
half of dollars, in which Boston capitalists
are largely interested. These mines are
claimed by the Bank of California, the stock
holders of which (theBarrons) are foreigners
and cannot acquire title under the mining
laws of the United States.
Grant is an early riser, it is said. Yes,
and he is rising all the time.—New Era.
Yes, like the gnyasculns, he rises twenty
and falls forty feet.—Constitution.
To be sore, and like the monkey climbing
the pole, the higher he rises the more he
shows his—coat-tail. 1
m
.Gov. Smith, of Alabama, who vetoed the
bill authorizing the Legislature to cheat the
people out of a vote for President, is a Re
publican, bat not a “carpet-bagger.” He
was born in Alabama, and hence the abase
that is now heaped npon him by the Radi
cals.

A late North Carolina paper notes the
fact that the steamer Terry, from New York,
had just landed at Wilmington a number of
suspicious-looking boxes marked “Sharp’s

iVEGRO-RADlUAL “WAYS AND KEANS”
The Negro-Radical carpet bag and ecala-
wag vagabonds and plunderers who com
pose the so-called Legislature of South
Carolina, having destroyed the credit of that
once prond State, have been in a fearful
straight recently for money to pay their per
diem. The telegraph has already announced
that the body had passed a bill authorizing the
bogns Governor to seize the assets of the
Bank of the State in defiance of the law,
the decisions of the courts and the rights of
foreign creditors and the bill-holders. The
discovery of these assets are a god-send to
the vandals and robbers, who, it would
seem, are determined to plunder the State
and people of everything they can lay
their hands on. At a Radical pow
wow held in Charleston on Taesday
night night last, £. H. Cain, a ring-leader
of the thieving clan, boasted that South
Carolina had not only the assets of the Bank
of the Slate, bnt held sundry mortgages on
varion8 property, both in Charleston and
elsewhere. He said that this wonld be
speedily looked into, and all of snch secu
rities, both in this country and in Europe—
amounting to millions—would be sold, and
money obtained to -pay the Legislature. The
intimation was given that the State was by
no means bankrupt, that the Democrats
knew where the money was concealed, but
that the Republicans would stir the matter
up with .a long pole, and wonld unearth the
hidden treasure.
Alas for poor Carolina ! She is indeed
in the hands of the Philistines!
the
COTTON PliUSFECT IN SOUTH
WESTERN GEORGIA.
[correspondence of the news and herald. J
Quitman, Ga., August 20th, 1868.
Editors News and Herald :
Seeing you invite information os to the
crops, we have concluded to give you, as
near as we can, the status of cotton in our sec
tion of country.
In the first place, there is at least twenty
per cent, less area'planted than in 1867, and
last year there was used twenty tons of commer
cial manures to one this year; consequently we
must expect a less yield, with a like seasOD,
than in 1867. But the season has been much
more unpropitious than last year,and we cannot
think cotton now has half the fruit ou it that
it had last August. We say to our planting
friends that they may be assured that Florida
and Southwest Georgia will not make more
than one-half as much cotton as was made in
the same section in 1867. We hope the News
and Herald may be able to keep us advised
as to this great staple and its prospects through
out the country, that we may know, this time,
if possible, when to sell.
Twelve mouths ago we had been educated to
believe India was going to envelop the whole
world in cotton, but so soon as I he crop had
passed from our hands we were forced to real
ize that the strongest proofs are otten the most
deceptive. Caprioious commodity! when we
owned you,-you were worth eight and nice
cents, but id a few weeks after you changed
your domicil you were quick sales at thirty
cents. Southern planter, your tuition has been
costly, and for that reason you should the more
profit thereby. Very respectfully,
Planter. •

orders contained in your proclamation,
severing my business and domestic relations
in this city, on a very short notice, where I

Both parties, the Democratic and Radical,
claim to be for peace. But they differ as
widely as the heavens are above the earth as
to the means they will employ to; secure
peace, and, also, as to Ihe kind ot peace to
be seemed. The Democrats desire, and say
they intend to have that peace which “be
longs to every citizen and every State in ac
cordance with the express guarantees of the
Federal Gonstitfftion. The Radical party,
which has loDg ago admitted through its
Chief, Thad. Stephens, that all its legislation
affecting the ten Southern Stales unrepre
sented in Congress, is outside of the Consti
tution, desires aud intends to have peace by
boldiog those ten States jn the situation im
posed upon them by such unconstitutional
legislation. i. '■ ,
We all desire peace. But which of these
parlies is more likely to beiog peace to this
distracted people ?, Reversing the proposi
tion, which one is sura to bring on war ? Let
history answer.
Does history show an instance of civil war
where all citizens obeyed the municipal
compact How, with respect for, and obe
dience of law, can war arise ? Civil war has
only been, and will only be, where, through
ambition, or avarice, or fanaticism, one class
or section has invaded, or shall invade, the
rights of another class or section. Here is
the true cause of the late war between the
North and South. No lair-rmioded man in
the North will deny that the right of property
of the Southern people had been invaded
long before hostilities commenced. Aud by
whom? By the veiy men who are now, as
the Radical party, endeavoring to destroy
the Republic.
But we need not resort to the history of
any ether Government to see how surely; a
departure from constitutional landmarks will
result in war or despotism. The Govern
ment of the United States, for over seventy
years, was in the hands of parties who, while
differing at times on points of policy, in no
instance violated palpably and openly any
constitutional guaranty. STRICT CON
STRUCTION was the motto of the one,
while the other, if it transgressed, the spirit,
in clauses of doubtful construction, never
violated the ■ plain letter of our National
Charter. ^ . . , TiJ .. •
Bat what can wesay the of new lights—the
Reformers—the moral-idea party—the
champions of Christian progress ? What has
it not done of wickedness that could be ac
complished ? To recite its criffies wonld re
quire a volume, and to portray their atrocity
■» beyond the power of words. The keenest
satire, the bitterest sarcasm, the finest wil,
and the richest fancy could add nothing to
the loathing and horror which the simplest
narration of the facts produces in the mind
andsheart of every true lover of constitution
al freedom. _ „. ........ a ..;
For nearly eight years they have violated
both the spirit and letter of the Constitution.
In I860 they elected a President who went
into office as the representative of a minority,
by over 800,000 vote«. That minority, against
the will of the majority- waged war. Id
1864 the same minority, (there being eleven
States unrepresented) again elected a Presi
dent by throwing its troops from States
largely Republican into States of doubtful
majority, and voting them early and often.
That minority from the close ot the war has
been rapidly growing less, and yet it has
ruled with a lawlessness and a desperation
which have increased in an inverse ratio to
its decline in strength, and the improbability
of its retaining power. No one. saw, to soou
as the Radical party, the handwriting on the
wall. The least had ran loDg and high, and
that people waa-drnnk with the blood of the
innocent. Aod when the handwriting ap
peared, which was at Ihe close ot the war,
they immediately set to work to devise ways
and means to retain their ill-gotten gains.
To follow up the logical sequence of their
position maintained daring the war, that the
Southern States could not secede and hover
were out of the Union, would be certain de-
Birnctlon to their hopes; as the admission of
the. Southern Congressmen must overcome
that minority, and nail them from power.
To admit our right to secede was a judg
ment against their own conduct in waging
war. And just here they reached the strait
between Charybdis and Scylla. Desperation
seized upon them and they at onoe put into,
operation a system of legislation—not of law,,
as it waB illegal—which, considering the
genins of our Constitution, their pious pre
tensions and boasted enlightenment onr help
less, rained condition, and onr entire sub
mission to the verdict of the sword, ; for
deliberate, malicious atrocity, has no parallel
in all history. What have they not done?
They have wrought all the evils within their
power, and attempted all .which the 1 basest
passions could suggest. They have tom down
every pillar supporting that magnificent
temple erected by our common fathers, save
one and that may soon folloy. State sov
ereignty, the free exercise of religions opin
ion, freedom of speech, the right [ff-keep
and bear arms, security against unreasonable
searcbes and seizures, the right of private
property, personal liberty, trial by jury, the
writ of habeas corpus, tbe reserved State right
to say who may vote, representation in Con
gress, tbe independence and coequal powers
of the Federal Judiciary and.ExecutiVe, and
the equality of each State in’the Union, have,
one by one, in rapid succession, and in the
last three years of peace, beenrfnthlessly de

There remains but one more pillar' of
safety. It is the elective franchise. This
riotous minority has but lately attempted its
destruction, bnt shrunk back alarmed by
the hoarse voice of the multitude. But, to
give the deed the semblance of onr own act,
they are now striving to effect it through
our State Legislatures, which, are but'their
servile creatures. Blinded 'by fanaticism,

gome well-meaning. persons think they
have found a remedy for all these evils in
onr late .qp-called “admission into the
Union.” Be not deceived. It is a cheat and
a mockery. It was done through fear, not
favor. This lawless minority dared not en
ter the Presidential campaiga without somo
apparent success in their plan of reconstruc
tion. This “admission” is bat a tub thrown
to the whale. We have bnt changed r
ters. Tbe bayonet is removed, for the time,
nntil the Presidential election, if Grant goes
into power, and in its stead is placed over us
a horde of foreign emmiesaries, still more
dangerous and odious. We were held down
by the bayonet until we wfie manacled and
fettered, and have been tamed over, ’ thus
bound, to an ignorant NEGROCRACY.
Of the Senators and Representatives' re
turned to Congress from the seven States so
admitted, there are but one Senator, tbe
Hon. H. V. M. Miller, of Georgia, and three
Representatives, Young, Tift and Christy,
also of Georgia, who have one thought, or
desire, or emotion, in -sympathy with eight
millions of white freemen 1 This is the ad
mission we are expected to rejoice at. It is

Union with bayonets.”
Bnt the elective franchise remains for the
present. Seymour and Blair are the expo
nents of constitutional freedom, aud the
leaders of that noble host who are marching
for our deliverance. Grant' and Colfax head
tbe army of destroyers—the anarchists, the
authors of onr present degradation and the
advocates of-negro equality.

General Cary, the workingman's (Demo

Ohio District, in a recent speech ennneiated
tbe following views on the financial situa
tion :
Where are you going to get out your- gold
to pay off the interest and principal ? What
did I propose in my bill ? I will tell you, my
countrymen, in a few wolds, and will take
time in the future to disensa it more fatly. 1
wonld call in the circulation of the banks.
The Government is paying interest on that.
Why should we have the National banks
with $300,000,000 ? Yon know how these are
gotten up- The National banks depsit $330,-
000,000 with the Government, upon which
they daaw six per cent, interest in gold.
Here is a bank in Cincinnati. A parcel of
men get together with $100,000 in bonds,
which is deposited with the Government, dn
which they draw gold interest, and have
$90,000 to speculate npon. Now, I propose
to clean out these national banks and pnt
greenbacks in their place. [Cries of “bnlly!”
and applause.] That would save to the peo
ple at once $25,000,000 in taxes. Again, I
propose to pay off $515,000,000 of 5 20
bonds that are- now redeemable with legal
tender currency. [Voices, “bully." Tbeo
what have you when you get away yonr
$300,000,000 nf the national banks and issue
Solo,000,000 ? Only $40,000,000 more in
the market Jthan there was after McCulloch
becamed Secretary. We need more money;
all the interests of the South are prostrated;
their cotton'fields are lying in waste; they
have no plonghs, no males, no horses, no
implements of husbandry. They want a
little money to put them on their lees again,
and they will pay their taxes. [Cries of
“bully” and cheers.] We want $40,000,000
more money; but they tell us money will be
too abundant. Did yon ever know money to
be too abundant ?, [Laughter, j ..Those who
fear money will become tpo plenty, are those
who have it to lend at two per cent, a
month. Why, we have need of more money
than any other people. We are wide in ex
tent of temtqyy, vast in resources, are build
ing railroads, engaged in all kinds of enter
prises, demanding money, and yet to-day,
with all - ofir'--Naiional bank currency, with
all onr greenback circulation and all onr
gold, we have only $13 for. each inhabitant,
while Eugjaud has* $25 for each and-France

Other Side.—Some female, in an apparently
revengeful spirit, thus holds forth on a prevail

Meetlng or Tobacco Dealers.
New York, August 21.—At a meeting of
the tobacoo manufacturers, resolutions were
adopted that no tobacco can be inspected ex

per cent, disconut allowed on other stamps

Important Circular From the
partment.
Washington, August 21.—A letter issued
from the War Department includes the follow
ing extract from the army appropriation bill
passed at the last session of Congress: “Be
it enacted, That all militia forces now organ
ized or in service in either of tbe States of
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor
gia, Florida. A labaina, Mississippi and Texas,
be forthwith disbanded, and that the further
organization, arming or .calling into service the
said militia forces, or any part thereof, is here
by prohibited, under any circumstances what
ever, until the same shall be authorized by
Congress.” The pub ication of this extract is
intended as an explanation of the refusal of
Secretary Schofield to furnish arms to the
militia of the Southern States on applications
of the Governors, and for the information of
the officers of the army now on dnty in the
South. - . ■ . ' o' * v !
There are over font thousand, vacant of
fices under the new tax hiil.
The receipts from the customs from the
10th to tbe 15th of August amonnt to over
three and a half millions of dollars..
There was a fall cabinet today, except
Mr. Welles and Mr. Randall.
General McMahon, Paraguayan Minister,
loaves next week.
Alluding to the militia in the Southern
Stoles, the New York Times says, editorially:
“The case is made a good deal plainer by
tbe extract from, the law which tbe Secretary
of War ini reduces into his order by one of
those unfortunate blunders, which have
marred the progress of reconstruction at al
most every stage. r 3 j j c-
The South is literally without, a militia.
Not only have tbe local governments no
arms for their use, but the supplying of armB
by the War, Department is forbidden by a
clause whicB, passed under different circam-
etances; is yet unrepealed. Congress there
fore, in its hasto to adjoorn, did 'more than
neglect ihe distribution of arms, which a
measure brought forward at a late day right-
tally contemplated. It left on thei< statute
book a provision which restrains the War
Department from arming the militia, what
ever the emergency. To tbis extent the re
constructed States are powerless. Their
authorities are paralyzed by an order which
nothing less than the action of Congress can
set aside.’’ t »eni »■•»<) •- . j am > j
