Independents —that is dependents on the radical votes—must be put down at the ballot box, from candidates for representa tives to governor. The white people of Hancock county have determined not to countenance the so-called Independents by going to hear them speak, so if any of that ilk should deliver an address in Sparta they will speak to empty benches, so far as the white people are concerned. A batch of colored clerks in the treasury building at Washington hav ing been promoted, the white clerks are reported to be deeply exercised and wrathful thereat. Verily it is hard to make the whito republican treat his colored brother a3 an equal—except at the polls. Heavy on its Correspondent. The rumor reaches us that the Gov ernor of the State, in a speech in Ameri cus on yesterday, took occasion to make a personal assault upon the editor of this journal. If this be true, our posi tion, that his further appearance in the campaign will inure to the injury of the organization, seems to be establish ed. When the language of the Gover nor reaches us in such shape as may be relied on, he shall have proper and prompt attention. The above we take from the Macon Telegraph and Messenger of Thurs day. When you take into considera tion that an account of Governor Col quitt’s speech was sent up to the Tele graph by its regular correspondent, W. P. 8., and published in the same paper in which the above appeared, it would seem that the editor of the Tele graph places no confidence in the reliability of the statement of its cor respondent. We have for some time been trying to convince the Telegraph that its correspondent from this place was not to be relied upon in his state ments; and from the above paragraph it would seem that the editor of that paper is being convinced of that fact. A Judge Appointed. From a telegraph dispatch received hereon yesterday afternoon, we learned that Judge J. A. Ansley has been ap pointed to the Judgeship of this Judi cial Circuit, in place of Judge C. F. Crisp, resigned, for the nnexpired time between this and the meetieg of the next Legislature. Judge Ansley is no new man in the Judicial role, for some years ago he most acceptably filled the position of County Judge, and by his decisions while on the bench won for himself the reputation as being well verted in legal matters. His appoint ment gives satisfaction. It is mighty strange to us that a man will stoop lower to get a negro’s v <te than to get a white man’s.— Evening Nevis. [He is obliged to stoop lower in order to reach it. When he gets down to it the negro ought to kick him and then report him to the grand jorv. Bribery iu election ought to be stopped. —Macon Telegraph, A Few More Nuts for D. R. Har rell to Crack, On one occasion before the war when D. B. Harrell was Solicitor General of the Patanla Judicial Circuit, the Grand Jury of Randolph county found a true bill for an offense under circumstances of great aggravation, against a certain individual, and before the adjournment of that body, it was ascertained that D. B. Harrell, the Solicitor, had settled or disposed of the case without investi gation, of course collecting costs, etc. The Grand Jury finding this to be the case, in their General Presentments censured said D.B. Harrell, the Solici tor, and that censure no doubt is yet on file in the Clerk’s office, and among the proceedings of the Superior Court of Randolph county. It is further said, or was at the time, that as the expiration of Harrell’s term of office as Solicitor drew near, he swept the docket clear of all paying cases. Harrell, in his letter, advises the peo ple to quit electing politicians. If they do this, what will become of Harrell? He’s made the biggest corner on politics of any other man in Georgia. He has worn out the seat of many pair of pants riding on the cars to conventions and now he’s an independent. He has been at every political gathering like a Banquo’s ghost, that would not down. Asa Republican he helped to nominate Grant. Asa Democrat he helped to nominate Hancock. As an ultra Bour bon, two-thirds Jeffersonian Democrat, he was one of Norwood’s immortal nine who ex-communicated Colquitt for run ning as he did. He has been elected to everything accessible and calculated to pay. He has boxed every point of the political compass and wept because there were no more poiuts to box. In short he is a perpetual, hair-triggered breach-loading politician, and yet he advises the people not to elect politi cians. Away with him. Away with him. Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly tor October. The great excellence and the remark able cheapness of this periodical have secured for it, deservedly, an immense circulation. The present number is exceedingly interesting, entertaining, and full of general information. “Eng land’s Only Living General”( Sir Gar net Wolseley,) by Alfred H. Guernsey, is an admirable and timely article. It has seventeen illustrations. Among other notable,profusely illustrated arti cles are: “A Visit to the Phosphate Fields and Hills”; “A Visit to Paler mo”; “The Last King of Tahiti”; “The Mariner’s Compass,” by Wm. Durham—etc., etc. Anew serial by M. T. Caldor, “A Whited,” promises to be deeply interesting; “The letter ‘S’; Or, The Jocelyn Sin,” is concluded; and there are short stories, sketches, etc., by S. A. Weiss, A. E. Barr, Mar garet F. Aymar, etc.; poems (mostly illustrated) by popular writers, and a miscellany embracing a large variety of subjects, affording very delightful and instructive reading. The embellish ments are even more than usually num erous, and are meritorious works of art; the colored title-page, “The Sultana and her Attendants,” is very beautiful. The price of a single .number is 25 cts; yearly snbscription, $3 postpaid. Ad dress Frank Leslie, Publisher, 53, 55 and 57 Park Place, New York. North American Review. The North American Eeview for October opens with an article on “The Coming Revolution in England,” by H. M. Hyndman, the Englieh radical leader, giving an instructive account of the agitation now going on among the English working classes for a recon struction of the whole politico-social fabric of that country. O. B. Froth ingham writes of “The Objectionable in Literature” and endeavors to point out the distinction between literature which is per se corrupting, and that which is simply coarse. Dr. Henry Schliemann tells the interesting story of one year’s “Discoveries at Troy.” Senator John I. Mitchell, of Pennsyl vania, treats of the rise and progress of the rule of “Political Bosses.” Prof. George L. Vose, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, contributes an article of exceptional value on “Safety in Railway Travel;” andProt. Charles S. Sargent, of the Harvard College Arboretum, contributes an instructive essay on “The Protection of Forests.” The Review is sold by booksellers and newsdealers generally. Old Dooly for Crisp. Ilawkinsville Dispatch. . Judging from the expressions of the citizens, Dooly county will give Judge Crisp a rousing ma jority in the Novem ber election. On Tuesday morning of last week, the day upon which Judge Harrell, the Independent candidate,had announced to address the people at Vienna, a banner was stretched across the court house square, with the fol lowing words emblazoned thereon in large letters: HURRAH FOR OLD DOOLy! She is Solid for CRISP. Independents So-called Need Not A ppiy- Augasta Chronicle: An Independent Democrat, so-called, will either betray ne party or the other.

Individually and as rep resentatives of the Democratic party of said District we pledge you our hearty support for election to that honorable position. With respect, we have the honor to subscribe ourselves your obe dient servants. B. F. Barge, 1 W. E. Carter, V Com. Eason Smith. ) Weston, Webster County, Ga.) September 12th, 1882. j To Messrs B. F. Barge, IF. E. Car ter, Eason Smith. Gentlemen —Yours of sth inst., in forming me that on that day the Dem ocratic Convention of the 12th, ( State) Senatorial District held at Lumpkin, unanimously nominated me to fill the office of Senator of said District, and that you as a committee of that body were appointed to notify me of said nomination and ask my acceptance thereof, was duly received. While I am sensibly impressed with the respon sibilities of the high position which you gentlemen, as a convention of the Dem ocratic party have nominated me, yet, fiom the harmony which prevailed dur ing your deliberations, and the unan imity of the action of the convention, assures me of the good opinion in wliioh I am held by my fellow citizens, and encourages me to hope for a reasonable indulgence or forbearance on the part of my constituents. I gratefully accept the nomination with a high appreciation of the honor thereby conferred. If elected I will de vote my time, and energies, faithfully, and unfalteringly to the serviee of my constituency, and to the best interest and honor of our State. . Thanking you, gentlemen for your assurance of hearty support and ten dering to each of you, and through you, those whom you represent, my heart felt wishes, for your future peace, pros perity, and happiness, I have the honor to be your obedient servant. James P. Walker. The Negro Voter. Nashville American. We address the colored voters of this community particularly, because in no section of the South is there to be found so much negro intelligence. How long yet is your race going blindly to accept the unfulfilled promises of the radical party? How long, again, before you even make a distinction between the republican party and the wing called radical? You support the republican party, as you believe, in this State,but are you in any defined manner a bene ficiary at the hands of that party? Have you not been, in the face of your almost united vote, that way for nearly ten years, absolutely and directly un der a democratic local and State gov ernment? You can’t dispute it. No more than yon can question the state ment that under this Democratic rule you have been provided with all the ac cessories of citizenship. We pass over the ingratitude of your race in this community, and simply call your intel ligence to the bar. Your comprehen sion of facts point to you in every quar ter the benefits you are receiving every day. Is it your republican or radical vote that has furnished you with full common school privileges as good as any in America? Does a radical local government supply you with a protec tive police, or fire department, an ex pensive and costly water-works, the means of communication by railroad to neighboring towns; in a word, with the facts that make up a city? Blindness and delusion do not half express your present state of mind; for understand that the effects of this are to be added to your present discomfort. We do not think it extravagant to say that you are bound by the laws of self-pres ervation to draw nearer, in the persons of your leading men, to the political majority in this State. This State is, and will be for twenty years yet certain ly, overwhelmingly Democratic, and you need not fear a sequestation of your rights either. We reflect a large constituency m saying that in the exact ratio that your race develop the sober judgment that goes with good govern ment, you will share in the process of government as you now share its good results, Judge Harrell said in his speech at this place last Tuesday that he certainly would be elected to Congress from this district, we opine he will tell a differ ent story from this after the election.— Dooly Vindicator. Hon. A H. Stephens'Kcntakablc Memory. Columbus Times. An instance of Mr. Stephens’ extra ordinary recollection of men occurred yesterday. Mr. H. K. Stafford, of Har ris county, called on him at the Rankin House,and asked ifhe was remembered. Mr. Stephens told him that he could not call his name, bnt that his face was well remembered; that he was at his house in 1848, while he lived in one of the central counties, and told what public issue ho was then discussing be fore the public, and went somewhat into the details of the occasion, all of which was minutely correct. This, after so long a period, and a life spent among thousands of men, and covering a period of the most stirring events of the country, we think quite extraor dinary. When the votes of the third are counted out Judge Harrell will see where he is badly mistaken, Democracy still reigns supreme in the old third.— Dooly Vindicator. Gen. Gartrell and the Negroes. Then there is the negro problem that has got to be settled. Confound the negroes—they are the biggest fools and the biggost frauds on earth. I did have some hopes of ’em a few years ago for I thought they would surely find out who was fooling ’em and that out people were the only friends they had, but it looks like they get worse, and the more we do for ’em the worse they get. Horace Greeley did more to free ’em tha'fc any one man in the world, for he spent his whole life on that one idea, and Gen. Grant did nothing, but. on the contrary, said he wasn’t fighting for their freedom, and yet they went back on Greeley from the jump. And now here they go pell mell after General Gartrell, and one of ’em told me yesterday that the Gen eral font for ’em in the war and helped General Grant set ’em free. Jesso! They seem to be utterly incapable of learning any sense. All they want to know is which way “am de white folks agoing” and they go the other way straight. They are a dangerous ele ment of power in our State, and it will take wise legislation to keep ’em from meeting with bad men and doing as much harm. I wish I could express my contempt for a politician who has got his own consent to hold office in this State, when he holds it by their votes, and does not gel a majority of his white fellow-citizens to vote for bim. I wonder if Gen. Gartrell would do it? If Mr. Stephens should get eighty thousand white votes, and Gar troll shonid get seventy thousand nig gers and fifteen thousand whites, I wonder if he would throw up his hat and holler “Hurrah for me!” anl ac cept the office? I wouder if he would. Alas,for human depravity. What are our people coming to? A fellowship with the nigger and equality? Well, it is worse than that, foi the negro is the most respectable of the two. They are beneath him, and deserve his con tempt. May the good Lord deliver us all from such a humiliation, and save the honor of our State, is my prayer. Bill Arp. Triumph of Faith and Prayer. Atlanta Constitution. Very many instances are on record of a direct answer to prayer, when earn estly offered, accompanied with faith. But a few days ago a case occurred in llancockcounty, in this State, the party being Bishop Pierce, who is well known and much loved throughout Georgia. The bishop’s friends are all aware of the fact that for some time his voice has been almost gone, and when speak ing or in conversation, those quite near him could hardly hear him. The cir cumstance is this: Recently, just pre ceding the late Hancock camp-meeting, a numberof the members of the church earnestly entreated Bishop Pierce to preach a sermon on a particular suhject, one of vital interest to the general wel fare of the church. The bishop him self impressed with the necessity and importance of complying with their re quest, devoted much prayerful thought to it, and engaged in constant prayer to God that He would restore to him the use of his voice for the day on which he was to give the sermon. On Saturday, the day before the Sunday on which he was to preach, his voice was so feeble as to be almost inaudible by his friends. Sunday morning, while in the act of ascending into the pulpit, one of the brethren asked him if he would have voice and strength enough to succeed. His reply was: “I may not have faith enough, but still have iaith that I shall.” He went through the prelimi nary exercises of the day’s devotions with evidently improved vocal power, and when he commenced his sermon, to the delight and astonishment of the con gregation, his manly and melodious voice as of yore burst forth in all its old time matchless beauty and power, and eloquently for two hours he enchained his hearers’ attention. A reliable gen tleman heard him, and states that Bishop Pierce during the time looked as young and vigorous as he did twenty years ago, and that his noble face glow ed as if with the light of holiness. A Singular Coincidence. Atlanta Herald. A singular coincidence connected with the death of Senator Hill has not yet appeared in print. Everybody who has visited his former residence on Peachtree street observed the beautiful cedar tree that stood in his front yard. The tree was planted by Senator Hill and he was interested in its growth and beauty. When Mr. Hill was carried to Eureka Springs, the tree gave evi dence of disease, the blight commencing at the top. Notwithstanding the close attention of the gardener the tree con tinued to wither, and a few days after the death of Senator Hill, there was not a green leaf upon it. It was recent ly dug up and removed, and it was dis covered the entire tree was decayed from top to root. <9 Printer Killed. Thursday about one o’clock Mr. W. A. Meigs, a printer who worked at the factory of Elsas, May <fc Cos., was run over by a Western & Atlantic train, and both of his legs cut off, Dr. Westmoreland amputated both limbs. He continued to sink an/1 died at 6:30. He was a sober, industrious and Chris tian man. His life was insured for $2,000 in the Knights of Honor. He leaves a wife and several children.— Atlanta Phonograph. In the Third District, Judge Crisp is meeting with a supposed opposition on the part of Independent Judge Har rell. If there is no mistake about this Judge Harrell will think there was one, in some way connected with it, when the returns are all in. If there is one thing more than another that the Third District doesn’t need, it is an Independent Congressman.— Telegraph and Messenger.
