The daily advent of this interesting
paper into our sanctum, is one of the
pleasures of the day. Sparkling with
all the beauty of a most beautiful dia
mond in its graphics, solid as a rock in
its editorials, biting in its denuncia
tions of wrong, it fills a long felt want
in the city in which it is published.
We predict for it a future of success,
for it is rapidly winning its way into
the hearts and homes of our people.
Examine Your Tickets.
We learn from a reliable source,
through letter, from a gentleman in
Ellaville, that a package of election
tickets have been received in that place,
printed with the names of the State
Democratic nominees, but omitting the
name of Hon. Clifford Anderson, can
didate for Attorney General. Upon
the ticket is printed the name of the
Democratic nominee of Schley county,
for the Legislature. Keep up with
these tickets, and destroy them. “Vigi
lance is victory,” Where were these
tickets printed?
Watch This Circulatiou.
Attention is called to the circulation
of democratic state tickets upon which
the name of the candidate for attorney
general does not appear. Voters through
out the state should be careful to see
that Hon. Clifford Anderson’s name is
on their ticket before they vote. Edit
ors of other papers are requested to
copy this notice and to make it gener
ally k .own in order that an accident
may not injure an honest, honorable
and patriotic official. —Atlanta Con
stitution.
We fear much damage will be done
by the omission of the name of Hon.
Clifford Anderson, upon these tickets,
and that it is too late to undo the
liarfu that may ensue. That’s one of
the results of not having tickets printed
at home.
LETTER FROM WILCOX.
Wibegrass Solid for Chisi>---Tiie
Cold Shoulder Givento Harrell,
the Independent Candidate for
Congress.
Hawkinsville, Ga., Sept. 27, ’B2.
C. W. Hancock, Esq., Americus Ga.
Dear Sir: I have just returned from
Wilcox Superior Court, and send you a
few lines to let you know the feeling of
the people of the wiregrass, in regard
to the race between judge Crisp and
D. B. Harrell. Harrell was present
Monday, and delivered his harangue,
but it didn’t create any impression at
all, in fact ho was given the cold
shoulder on all sides. He will not get
a white vote in Wilcox county, and
very few, if any, colored votes. Har
rell was greeted with a banner on which
was inscribed: “'Hurrah for the gifted
champion of Democracy!—the gallant
Crisp, Down with Independcntism!
Down with and. b. harrell!!”
Judge Crisp addressed the citizens
of Wilcox Tuesday, in an elegant,
chaste and appropriate manner. He
captured the crowd, both white and
colored. Crisp is all right in the wire
grass, and the counties over here will
give him a BIG majority. Wilcox.
Independent ism.
Atlanta Constitution.
The independents, who are running
for office in this State, are continually
asserting that they are Independent
Democrats. Half their time in speak
ing is spent in trying to prove that they
are good Democrats, and yet they never
let an opportunity pass when they can
stab the old party or its friends. The
consort with its enemies, get the en
dorsement of everything in opposition
to it, and have no word to say against
its enemies, and the enemies of the peo
ple. This proves that they are not
sincere, since they are so willing to
cling to the name. They are willing
to get all the benefits possible and then
take all that the party’s opponents
offer. What would you think of a man
who called himself an independent
Methodist, or an independent Baptist,
and was always coalescing with sinners
to break down his church—that was
willing to support the devil to break
down the church—as some of these inde
pendents want to do to break down the
Democratic Party? It would not take
long to determine in the case whether
they belong to the church or to the
devil; nor will it be any more difficult
to determine whether they belong to the
Democratic or Republican party when
they occupy the position we describe
above.
Finding it out.
A great many politicians just now
are busily engaged in efforts to get
where they properly belong. When
the campaign first began, a great
many true democrats thought that
they could get into a sort of a go-as
you-please position, and that it would
turn out all right in the end. As the
campaign progressed, the line was
gradually drawn until now every man
must come down off the fence and
get on one side or the other. There
is no medium ground, and every voter
must act with the Democratic party
or the Republican party. There is
really no longer any such thing as
independents. He who tells you that
he is an Independent Democrat should
also tell you that he is running in
the interest of the Republican party
if he does not desire to deceive you.
The people have found this out, and
the democrats of Georgia will lend no
hand in helping Arthur republicanize
Georgia. —Columbus Enquirer.
The election for Governor, State
house officers and members @f the
Legislatnre will be held in this State
on the fourth day of October. The
Legislature meets on the first day of
November, and the election for Con
gressman will be held on the seventh
day of November. Some are under the
impression that the election for Con
gressman at large occurs at the time
the election for State officers is held.
This is a mistake. You do not vote
tor Congressman at large until the
seventh day of November.
A gentleman wbo is a personal friend
of President Arthur says that our chief
magistrate is not more superstitious
than the average of men, but that he is
harassed by a presentment that he will
not live out his term. He has no fear
of assassination, but his nervous imagi
nation (for it is nothing hut imagina
tion) leans toward death by sickness or
accident, and this makes his life a very
sad one.

Gov. Colquitt and Col. Lamar of
the Telegraph & Messenger.
Cuthbert Enterprise.
It will be admitted by all who have
read the Macon Telegraph for the past
few months, that Col. Lamar has no
love for Gov. Colquitt. In many ways
—by flings, by inuendo, by satire, by
ridicule in every conceivable shape—
Col. Lamar has struck the Governor a
blow in almost every issue of the daily
under his charge.
With what patience Governor Col
quitt has borne the attack, we do not
know, hut in a speech in Americus
last week, the Governor “spoke out in
meeting” and fired “hot shot” into the
enemy’s camp thick and fast.
We are pained that there should
have been a necessity for such an as
sault on the part of the Governor of the
State of Georgia, but we think, no fair
minded man, who has read tjie Tele
graph for the past few months, will
say that the attack made by the Gov
ernor was unjustifiable. The truth is,
the conduct of that Journal in this par
ticular, has Upen such as to excite
strong opposition to its course, even on
the part of those who have not been
Governor Colquitt’s friends.
Hawkinsville.
September 28.—Judge Crisp opened
the campaign at Abbevills, Wilcox
county, on Tuesday, the 26th. His
address was strong, unanswerable and
eloquent, eliciting wild applause.
Judge Harrell was present and writhed
under the deft flagellation so courte
ously, yet forcibly, administered by
Crisp. Harrell now realizes that the
wiregrass counteis are not an inviting
field for Independents, and that our
climate, so salubrious for Democracy,
cause the mongrel principles of H. to
wither and decay.
Harrell spoke on Monday but his
effort fell flat. The people feel a pity
for him, he seems so lonely and deso
late. Personally, they like him, but
he has gotten in bad company.
On fifty feet of canvas was painted
and stretched on the grounds the in
scription, “Hurrah for the gifted
champion of Democracy, the gallant
Crisp. Down with Independents.
Down with and. b. harrell.’’ It is safe
to say Harrell will not get a white vote
in Wilcox. — Macon Telegraph and
Messenger.
The •‘lndependent” Harrell.
Is straining every nerve, backed by
the money and influence of the Federal
administration, to defeat Judge Crisp.
We can, with proper effort elect the
Judge, but it will require work to
achieve that result. Taking it for grant
ed that the Judge is certain of his elec
tion—that there is no chance for his
defeat, if indulged in until the day of
election, may result in his defeat. Un
less we give Judge Crisp a clear and
decisive majority, the House in the next
Congress,- will in all probability, if it
be Republican, give the seat to his op
ponent. What is needed just now, is
some of that zeal that secured the
Judge his nomination. Let it be seen
to, that proper lists of tax defaulters
are prepared and furnished the election
managers at every precinct in this Con
gressional District. And, as “every
body’s business is nobody’s,” the Ex
ecutive Committees of the several coun
ties should take the matter in hand and
have it attended to in time.— Butler
Herald.
Macon Telegraph and Messenger:
There lives in Macon two brothers,both
prescriptionists, but connected with
separate establishments. About two
o’clock the other morning they were
awakened by a rap on the front door
of their residence. As both occupied
the same room, one of them answered
the call, praying as he went along that
it was his brother who was wanted.
And so it happened, and as he went
back and informed his brother, chuck
ling over his good fortune, he told him
not to make any noise when he returned
as he wanted to sleep. The eldest got
up and dressed and finally a thought
struck him. He wont out on the porch
and got the prescription and then told
the man he wouldn’t trouble him to
go all the way down town, that he
could go in the room and his brother
would entertain him until he got back
with the medicine. And then he went
down town chuckling, knowing that
he had gotten away one time with his
brother, who sat up but couldn’t enter
tain his visitor for mentally abusing
his brother for the mean trick.
The negro politicians and their allies,
the Independents, are howling for the
abolishment of the chain-gang. A
worse thing could hardly happen. Just
as sure as the chain-gang is abolished
and the punishment for crime becomes
inadequate or uncertain, you may rest
assured that the people are going to
take the execution of the law into their
own hands. We dread and earnestly
condemn lynch law, hut the lives, prop
erty and civilization of our people must
and will be protected.— McDuffie
Journal.
The extra assessment upon office
holders, demanded by the republican
State Committee of Georgia, is a prac

go before Congress with contests and
secure the seats to which the peo
ple elected Democrats. —Rome Courier.

SECRET BLADE OF JOAB.
•‘Men love darkness rather than light
because their deeds are evil.”
Whether the above quotation be the
voice of inspiration or that of man, there
never was a more true declaration put
upon record. The history of all secret
organizations, whether political or relig
ious, or both combined, lrora the days
of Aaron Burr, down through know
nothingism, to that of Nihilism, has
been written in blood—in the blood of
the Christians, in the blood of the Jews,
in the blood of monarchs, and of Presi
dents, and in the blood of the citizens
of these United States, the last being
accomplished through the secret organi
zation of knownothingism. Thiough
that organization the Democracy of the
South were divided and this division
in the Convention in the city of Charles
ton, resulted in cesession and precipi
tated the civil war. In giving expres
sion to my views upon the natural and
inevitable tendency of secret organiza
tions, I do not design to be personal or
have reference to the supposed existence
of an organization of that character at
the present time, but sirrfply to bring
to public notice the startling fact that
the riotous and revolutionary spirit in
every age of the world has been fostered
ami brought to maturity or full strength
in secret organizations. Such has been
the history of all nations, and it has
been wisely said that “the history of
the world is but a repetition of itself.”
The writer does not stand alone in this
view of the subject. If I mistake not,
all nations, at least the Congress of the
U uited States,have wisely forbiden such
organization as the only safe rule of
action. Secrecy is the highest evidence
of opposition to existing institutions
of an intended wrong. To organize
a secret institution with the view to
support existing institutions or to con
fer a public good is folly. To oppose
them is a wicked violation of the law
or the rules of propriety cui hono.
Where then is the good? 1 believe that
its a well known ‘act that opposition to
or the deprivation of the Catholic’s of
the highest rights of a citizen was an
important factor in that wicked, law
violating, blood-letting institution call
ed knownothing twenty-five years back.
If we should uncoil this monster of the
present century and dissect it we should
find the germ of Nihilism in an embryo
state. We should find in it that revo
lutionary spirit that would deprive the
Congress of the United States of the
reserved right to determine who should
be citizens of our Republic, with vest
ed rights to hold offices of trust and
honor and the assumtion of the right to
strike from our political records the
name of every Catholic by an action
taken at the hour of midnight by a
body of men unlawfully assembled.
Where, I ask, would this precedent
lead? What amount of wrong would
not follow? What more could Nihilism
desire or do? Nothing but to plunge
deep into the hearts of monarchs and
Presidents the secret blade of Johb.
This thing has been done by Nihilist
both in the eastern and western hemis
pheres. Is there no significance in the
natural and inevitable tendency of se
cret organizations in a Republic where a
majority rules the minority? God, in
liis wisdom, have, through Congress of
the United States, made five millions
of freedmeuin the Southern States, and
vested them with the rights of citizens
to hold office of honor and trust by vir
tue of a majority of votes given at the
ballot box. The civil rights hill grant
ing freedmen the right to hold offices of
honor and trust though laws enacted by
Congress and ratified by the Legisla
tures of the Soutji is utterly void and
of no force unless sanctioned by a ma
jority of votes or the will of the people.
How fearful then would be the conse
quences arising from the secret action
of an organized body constituting a
majority of two to one in a republican
government. Should this, vast majori
ty choose to meet in conclave and bind
themselves in a secret pledge to with
hold their votes from the minority and
thus make void the law granting them
the rights of citizens.
With these facts before us we see
clearly but a single difference in Nihil
ism of the east or in a monarchical
government and a secret political or
ganization in a Republic. The first
having no right to the elective fran
chise accomplishes its wicked object
with the secret blade of Joab. The
latter by its vote at the ballot box.
And here allow me to say that every
citizen of our Republic, without regard
to race or color or previous condition,
receives his rights by a constitutional
provision sanctioned and ratified by the
several Legislatures of the Union, and
no secret political or religions organiza
tion is necessary to secure them. They
must be realized by a majority of votes
of the people, and hence I do mention
that all secret organizations in arepub
lican government is the highest evi
dence of an intended wrong, and the
same motive moves the Nihilist to use
the assassins knife and take the life of
a President that nerves to action the
leaders of secret organization. Dissat
isfaction with political positions is
known to be the moving cause of regi
cide in the east and the assassination
of Presidents in America.
In conclusion I shall take the liberty
to suggest a few thoughts to the freed
men of the South. You will fjnd from
this communieatiou that it is admitted,
and folly to deny, that as citizens yon
have by virtue of the constitution and
laws, both State and Federal, been
vested with all the rights to act as
jurors and to hold offices of honor and
trust that is claimed for the Anglo
saxon race; but we should remember
the fact that neither race can realize the
benefits of the constitutional right to
hold an office of honor or trust unless
the right is ratified at the ballot box by
a majority of the votes cast by the peo
plo with whom we live. Congress and
the Legislatures of the several States
have done all they can do to secure your
rights, and the people of the North have
no power to help yon to realize them.
The people of the South alone have the
power and are ever ready to help you to
realize them as fast and as soon as you
become fully qualified. Like Moses
and the children of Israel, many of you
will die in the wilderness in passing in
to this new country. Many may never
attain to that degree of mental and
moral culture that would justify your
elevation to those high and responsible
positions of honor and trust granted to
s“ou in the constitution of the State;
but you do know that every avenue has
been generously opened for the mental
and moral culture of your children as
the only means of fitting and preparing
them for the realization o£ all the rights
and privileges granted you in the civil
rights bill, You know that what I say
has the ring of truth in it, and it is
worse than folly for you to give the
cold shoulder to the Democrats of the
South and allow yourselves to become
allied either secretly or openly with the
people of the North who are powerless
to help you. Our interests are identi
fied. We, as a Christian and politic
body, are fitly framed together so that
one member thereof cannot suffer with
out ail suffer together. Asa citizen of
Sumter county you cannot realize the
right to hold an office of honor or trust
except by virtue of a majority of the
votes cast in Sumter, and so in the
State of Georgia you can only fill an
office by virtue of the majority of the
votes cast in the State.
Why then should you disregard your
own interest and ally youreelyes with
a Northern party who is powerless to
help you? or what good can arise from
uniting with a party at the South who
is so hopelessly in the minority as to
desire a union with a Northern party.
The only motive for such a union is sel
fish in the extreme. Such a party
might triumph over the Democracy of
the South, but the result would be the
distribution of the few Fedeial offices
amongst the leaders, hut not twenty
freedmen in the South would be intel
lectually qualified to fill them. There
is not more than an average of two of
fices to the county subject to Federal
distribution. These facts show how
little is to be made by uniting either
secretly or openly with those allied with
the Republicans of the North. Yours
would be all voting and no glory. You
would always get the rabit and the In
dependent and Republican the turkey.

TEMPERANCE CIRCULAR.
Address to the Baptists of Georgia'.
The Baptist convention at its last
session in Americus ordered the un
dersigned to issue an address to the con
stituents of that body upon the subject
of temperance. Now in accordance
therewith we publish the following:
The Evil.—The courts of our coun
try, the prisoners of onr land, the wast
ed fortunes of many citizens, the blight
ed hopes of many parents, the misery
of many homes, the paralyzed energies
of many Christians, the confusion and
disorder of many churches the destruc
tion of many lives, and the everlasting
loss of many souls—all these hut im
perfectly measure the magnitude of the
evil of intemperance.
The Remedy. —Reformation in onr
own lives, strict discipline in our
churches, an earnest ministry in favor
of temperance, sympathy for the poor
inebriate, co-operation with all good
people in their efforts to suppress the
evil, a generous support to all executive
officers of the state in enforcing the laws
touching the sale of intoxicating liq
uors, and an appeal to our law-making
powers for more stringent legislation,
and a prayer to God for deliverance
from the curse, is the only remedy we
have for this great evil. And we beg
our brethren every where to be vigilant
in the use of these means for protection
of the people from the ravages of the
terrible enemy.
Encouragement. —Other denomina
tions are identifying themselves with
this movement, various temperance or
ganizations are being eudowed with
vigor, judges, juries and other officers
ot the civil government are more faith
ful in executing the laws touching the
traffic in strong drink; many members
of the legislature have been trying to
enact laws for the better suppression of
this evil. Already about one-lialf of
the territory of the state lias adopted
prohibitory laws and the demand for
relif is growing stronger and more im
perative every doy. The outlook is
hopeful. If we do our whole duty we
shall, by the grape of God, be relieved,
reclaimed and redeemed from their
curse.
