DEMOCRATIC AND CONSERVATIVE
SlEEXINGi.»
A meeting of the Democratic and Conser
vative citizens of Chatham county is called
to assemble at the Booms of. the Democratic
Executive Committee on THURSDAY EVE-
NING^.at 8 o’clock, to appoint delegates to the
Congressional'Ndminating Convention, which
meets in Blackshear on Wednesday, 16th
instant. R* D. Arnold,
Chairman Democratic Executive Committee,
THE AVGDSTA MUNICIPAL. BILL.
' We were in error in supposing that this
bill bad been passed by the Legislature oyer
the head and horns of the Bullock, Ab will
be seen by the te’legraphio report, the vote
on passing the bill over the veto has not yet
been taken in the Senate. It will -come np
again to-day, when it will probably be pass
ed by a two-thirds vote. If, how ever ; a
Constitutional majority cannot be obtained
for the bill in the Senate, the main object
will have been attained, as no other bill
bridging on the election before the time in
dicated by Conncil and the Citizens’ Meeting
can pass. . We have very little donbt that
the bill wHl pass the Senate over the Bol
lock’s veto to-day.
THE BULLOCK BACKS DOWN.
When it became certain that Bradley wonld
not be permitted to retain his seat in the Sen
ate, in the hope of securing a Radical Senator
in his place, it was arranged by Bullock and
his advisers that the gay deceiver should re
sign, and thus not only avoid the threatened
ignominy, but what was much more important
to hi3 party, leave a vacancy to be filled by an
election. Bradley sent his resignation, net to
the Senate, but to Bullock, who, regardless of
the action of the Senate in expelling the dis-
tinguishid Sing-Singer, immediately issued his
mandate to the “loil” to elect a successor to
£11 the vacated seat. The Legislature, equally
regardless of the impudent attempt of Bullock
to usurp the rightful prerogative of that body
to judge of the qualifications of its members,
proceeded to seat Hr. Lester. In the mean
time Bullock’s election order remained unre-
voked. The House, viewed and instigated by
the obligations of their oath3, and not having
the fear of the Bullock before their eyes, un
seated some -twenty-five more of his dusky
friends, and even threaten to encroach still
further upon the Radical herd. Thus brought
to the.biiH-ring the Bullock “caves,” and sud
denly we see in his loyal organ of Saturday an
order revoking his election order, and recog
nizing Captain Lester as the legal Senator for
Chatham. He will, in future, leave questions
of vacancies and new elections to be deter-
—ithr rnnititMi-nai authority—the
uncomfortable.
well. He says the
here twenty-five hundred members, that the
club at Mobile has fifteen hundred members,
that one recently organized at .Greenville
contains eight hundred members, and that
he has organized a club at Union Springs I
with fipe prospects of success. The Sun
calls upon the colored men of Georgia to go
to work and emulate the example of their
brethren in Alabama.
We can speak for the colored men of the
First Congressional District- They are at
work in good earnest, and will show when
the votes are counted in November that they
are not behind the colored men of Alabama
or any other State in their devotion to the
principles of Democracy and the Constitu
tion. Recent events have opened their eyes
to the frauds and deceptions that have been
practiced upon them by vile carpet-baggers
and scalawags, who have sought, for their
own selfish ends, to array them against their
true and tried white friends, and their resent
ment now is both load and strong. The cute
trick by which a hereof Yankee adventurers
and recreant natives inveigled the colored
l men into their support till they get posses
sion of the effices of the State, and then
basely betrayed them—as illustrated In ' the
recent expulsion of the colored representa
tives in the Legislature—is well understood
by the freedmen of Georgia, who are fast
coming to the conclusion that they have
more to expect from the friendship and good
will of honest Democrats than from the false
promises of unprincipled carpet-baggers and
scalawags. :,. .a .
An old- colored man, who up to very re
cently, was an influential member of the Kadi-
cai party, on hearing of the expulsion of his
colored friends from the House of Repre
sentatives, and being convinced * that the
carpet-baggers and scalawags who framed
the Constitution, were to blame for it, they
having not only failed to insert an article
enforcing their proposed principles of equal
ly, but actually having voted to strike out
the clause which made colored men eligible
to office—remarked to us that the treatment
of bis race reminded him of the story of
the Indian and the white man who went
hunting together, with the understanding
that the game should he equally divided.
They hunted all day,. and on their return
home at night the game amounted
to a fine fat turkey and a little cat squirrel.
Coming to a division, the white man said
to the Indian—“I’ll take the turkey and you
take the squirrel, or you take the squirrel,
and I’ll take the turkey.”
The Indian scratched his head, not being
exaclly able to see the principle of equality
in the proposed arrangement.
“Oh, well,” said the white man, “You
take the squirrel then, and I’ll take the tur
key, or III take the turkey and give you
the squirrel
After turning the proposition over in his
mind for a minute the Indian replied: “You
don’t say turkey to me no time.”
“Thai’s the way with the carpet-baggers
and the niggers,” said the old uncle. “The
carpet-baggers talk a great deal about human

in regard to the subject to which you re]
Whatever opinion'-indy have prevtale
the past in regard to African slavery, oi
rights of a State to. secede from the Union,
we believe we express the almost unanimous
judgment of the Southern people when we
declare that they consider those questions
decided by the war, and it is their intention,
in good faith, to abide by that decision.
At the close of the war the Southern
pie laid dowa their arms and sought
aume former relations to the United Si
Government. Through their State Con
lions they abolished slavery and annulled
their ordinances of secession and returned to
peaceful pursuits with, a, sincere purpose to
fulfill all their duties under the' Const
of the United States, which they had
to. protect. , , .
If their action in these particulars
been met in a spirit of frankness and
diality we believe that ere:this all the oli
ritations would have passed away and

As far as we are advised, .the people of the
Sontb entertain no unfriendly feeling toward
the Government of the United States,
they complain that their rights unde

administration thereof. The idea that
Southern people are hostile to the negroes
and that they would oppress them, if in
their power to do so, is entirely unfounded.
They have grown up ip our midst, and we
have been accustomed, from childhood,
to look upon them • with kindness. Tin
change in the relations between the;
races bronght no change in our fei
towards them. They still constitute
portaut part of our laboring population.
Without their labor the. lands of the South
would bepomparatively unproductive. With
out the employment Southern agriculture
affords, they would be destitute of means or
subsistence and beoome paupers depei
on the public bounty.. Sslf-ioterest, e 1

General .Lee’s Letter.—General Lee
letter to General Rosecrans will be found in
another column. It speaks the true senti
ments qf the great mass of the Southern
people, and will, it is hoped, have a salutary
effect in disabQsing the minds of that -por
tion of the people of the North who are wil
ling to hear the truth. Unfortunately for
®he peace of the country, that portion, out
side of the ranks of the Democratic party,
is, we have.reason to believe, very small.
The Eligibility Question.—The House of
Representatives having settled the question
of negro eligibility to seats on the floor, it
is to be hoped another step will he taken in
the same direction; and that certain carpet
baggers will be relieved of the very great an
noyance of making laws for Georgia. Some
scalawags should aiso be looked after. Such
cases as O’Neal’s demand expulsion, and we
confidently rely upon the “grit” of the
House to “face the music.” After that,
comes bigger game.—^Constitution.
From the North, Greeting.—On Mon
day Captain Dunlap Scott, a member from
Floyd, received a communication from New
York, enclosing a beautiful Seymour and
Blair badge of white satin, inscribed with
likeness of these candidates and these words
in. red and blue: “Our motto—This is a
White Man’s Country—Let White Men
Rule.” The communication reads:' “Have
oread your remarks of the 27th; New York
endorses them!”—Atlanta Intelligencer.

tjlle.—The Albany News publishes an ad

the latter company agrees, upon the comple
tion of the road,' to incorporate it with the!

The great want of the South is peace. T1
