Macon Evening Graphic. 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. • Sell’s circus train was wrecked near Lexington, Ky., on Saturday last., by which two attaches of the ciicus and a boy who was stealing a ride were killed. The cage containing the tiger was burst open and the beast escaped, but it was so frighted that it crept back into the cage as soon as it was placed in position. Teethina (Teething Powders) is fast taking the place of alj other rem edies for the irritations of Teething Children. 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 tical illustration of what they meant by their late demand for a “free” elec tion. The “honest count” they expect to get when their defeated candidates 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. Three Score and Ten. 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. G. A. Nunnally, W. L. Kilpatrick, J. L. Underwood, J. G. Rvals, J. G. Gibbon, J. D. D.
