With Messrs. Eaton and Seymour
running for Congress in Connecticut,
and Messrs. Collins and Morse in Bos
ton, the Democrats have fair prospects
of returning four members from New
England instead of one.
One thousand Garfield Republicans
of Buffalo, N. Y., have signed an ad
drees giving the reason why they pro
pose to support the Democratic candi
date for governor and lieutenant gover
nor, Grover Cleveland and David R.
Hill.
Think of This.
The loss of any of the ten Congress
men to be elected in November next
from Georgia, to the democracy, may
lose the party the organization of the
next house, and should such a calami
ty befall, out go about half of the rep
resentatives whom the people of the
sontli have chosen. The next house
is to count the presidential vote two
years hence, and should it be republi
can, no scheme will be too bold for ex
ecution, should a democrat be elected
to the chief magistracy.
The Baltimore American expresses
the sentiment of many of our readers
when it comments in this wise con
cerning another compact the govern
ment has broken which it had with
Indians: “Secretary Kirkwood’s re
servation of ten million acres of laud
in Dakota for the sole occupation of
one of their tribes has been annulled
by the action of bis successor, who
virtually hands the tract over to the
whites. The Indians “have not a
valid claim against the government.”
Squatters had already occupied a por
tion of the reservation; they will stay.
Such of the savages as have perma
nently settled are to be protected.” It
is the same old story, and it will be
looked for again and again, until tlie
last of the aboriginies has been killed
off by the rifle or the whisky of the
whites.

Judge Crisp Addresses the Public
Monday, the 16th was the day set for
Judge C. F. Crisp, the Democratic
nominee for the 3rd Congressional dis
trict, to address the citizens of Sumter
connty. This lie did in an able and
satisfactory style, in a speech of an
hour and a half to a full house.
He set out with the statement that
lie needed no introduction to a people
with whom he had lived and acted
socially and officially for a number of
years. His acts had established bis
character; he knew and was known to
all of them. He had, as a Democrat,
previous to his nomination, worked for
his nomination as a friendly competitor
in his own interest, but since that
nomination he represented the Demo
cratic party as its standard bearer.
Here he gave the general definition of
tlie word party to-wit: An association
of individuals to further and carry out
certain political plans and notions; that
there always had existed two parties
in the history of our government, each
enibued with what they considered
patriotism. These parties were close
guardians of the public weal in expos
ing the errors and blunders of the other
when in power, this was for the good of
the country. He mentioned the old
Whig and Democratic parties, the
present organization of the Democratic
party he denominated the new Demo
cratic party, composed, as it was, of
both the two old parties. This new
party was antagonizing the Republican
party —the party of consolidation.
Here he gave a history of the extrava
gance, tlie measures to plunder and op
press the South of the reconstruction
measures, of the military despotisms
sanctioned and carried out in tlie South
ern States at the point of the bayonet
even after the States had adopted in
their constitutions ail the amendments
to the constitutions required of the
States as the basis of peace and re
habilitation in the sisterhood of States.
That the theory of the contest was that
we were in the Union, blit when we
were conquered were treated as though
a foreign power which had been sub
dued. Our civil governors were le
raoved and military despotisms sub
stituted. In the review of the recon
struction acts lie gave the history of tlie
cause of the military stationed in every
country town throughout tlie colored
belt, who taught the colored people that
their former owners were their natural
enemies. This he showed was false and
proved it by their own experience, as
they always went to them for advice and
counsel when in trouble and never fail
ed to get it. He showed up the faith
less character of republican promises to
this race—tlie forty acres and a mule,
the divertion of tlie poll tax which by
the constitution was devoted to educa
tional purposes during republican rule
in Georgia, and by other illustrations.
His argument went to show the colored
people that their interests were identi
cal with tlie whites, and that tlie whites,
from much experience, were better pre
pared to protect these interests now
than they could be. The time might
come when they could, come into the
arena and contend with the yankee for
supremacy. When Governor Smith
took the control of the State they had
the benefit of the poll tax in the educa
tion of their children, and ever since
under Colquitt, but not under Republi
can rule. He gave the origin of the
independent movement in the Markham
house, of Atlanta. That convention
contracted for the Republican votes, but
they were fearfully left and tlieir inten
tions disregarded.
In this connection lie referred to- the
Independent candidate for Congress in
this district. By his own showing lie
was not a Democrat, neither was lie a
Republican, not fish nor fowl, nor good
red herring.
He represents only his own selfish
ambitions, What is liis platform?
Opposition to railroad tariff’s and all
ether tariffs. This he borrowed from
the Democratic party, which had ever
been opposed to corporation tariffs and
tariffs not for revenue, but in the inter
est of corporations and individuals.
The Independent candidate had his
notions. He wanted to take the whole
management of the government out of
the hands of the polititions and place
them on a business basis; that he was
a business man. Judge Harrell’s his
tory was reviewed. He went to the war
as a Captain from Webster county,
stayed two or three months, resigned
when tilings got rather warm for poetic
fervor and found a refuge from trouble,
a bumb-proof, on the staff of Governor
Brown, during the rest of tlie war.
After tlie war lie was appointed ) udge of
the l’ataula circuit. That he was in the
Republican Convention which met in
Georgia and gave their support to Gen.
Grant. When his Judgeship was about
to expire and Georgia hail got from
under the yoke of Republican rule and
the Democracy were in the ascendant
and likely to remain so, tl.e Judge
abandoned tho sinking Republican ship
and was found edging over and voted
for Hancock for President. He then
applied to Governor Colquitt to be ap
pointed to fill the unexpired term of
Judge Clarke after his death. When
he failed to get office from the Demo
crats he became, what? Echo answers,
what? The speaker did not know what
he was only to adopt his idea, a busi
ness man who wanted to manage the
national government. The Judge had
boxed the political compass, had been
a Democrat, then a Republican, then
a Democrat again, and now lie was,
what?
We cannot in a dashing sketch give
a faithful report of a speech which cov
ered all the ground and was a masterly
marshalling of the evidence in his in
ditement of iadependentism. Fuffieeit
to say that, cheer after cheer was meeted
out by bis large audience during the
delivery. It was gratifying to a man
ly ambition to witness the overflowing
approbation of those who knew and ap
preciated the man.
Sumter county will give the lion. C.
F. Crisp a booming support on the day
of election if the demonstrations of
Monday are any evidence of the esteem
and appteciation, founded not on
largeness and bounty, but. on principle
and respect for his high order of intel
lectual anil moral worth, demonstrated
and established in a decade of social
and official intercourse with the people
of bnmter county.

Radical Squabbles in Ohio.
The result oi the recent election in
Ohio has been to widen the breach
heretofore existing in Radical ranks in
Ohio. Tlie folio wing correspondence
between General Thomas L. Young
and Governor Foster, is full of bitter
ness:
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 12, ’B2.
To Charles Foster, Governor, Colum
bus, Ohio :
Congratulations on your only victory
in any rebellion. What do you think
of your achievements? The G. A. It.
recognize your efforts in behalf of the
soldier element of our party, and the
Germans in this and other cities in
• >hio will ever appreciate yotir services
in tlieir behalf.
Thomas L. Young.
Governor Foster replied to the above
as follows:
Columbus, 0., Oct. 13,’82.
lion. Thomas X. Young, Cincinnati
Ohio:
Your telegram received. Your irony
is excruciating, but a brave soldier
(when sober) is not apt to insinuate
cowardice in others. lam happy over
the fact that. I made a square, honest
fight for tlie taxation of the liquor
traffic and the Sunday closing of sa
loons. T7poll these questions I shall
not take a backward step and will fight
it out on tliis line. I deny your right
to speak for the G. A. R. or the Ger
mans upon this subject.
Charles Foster.
It is believed that these two tele
grams will be instrumental in stirring
up a bitter strife between the Garfield
Republicans and stalwarts.

THE RESULT IN OHIO,
Its Effect in New Yorl: as EitiiuHlcd
Dy Congressman <'os.
New York Star.
For two reasons Hon. S. S. Cox
was very happy yesterday The first
was the fact that he had just entered
on the thirty—third year of his matri
monial life, and was celebrating the
happy occasion with his good wife and
friends; secondly, he had heard the
news from Ohio. When Mr Cox was
seen by a Star reporter at his residence
last evening he wore the dress and coat
in which he was married thirtytwo years
ago. Slightl y apropros of the occasion
was a lithograph picture which he
carried in liis hand, and which repre
sented a grotesque-looking negro child
with this description underneath;
“How old is I? Well, if yer takes
what mudder says, I’sc goin’ on six;
but if yer goes by all do fun I’se had I
guess I’m nearly a hundred.”
“How does the result in Ohio strike
yon?” asked the reporter.”
“It will act as a stimulant all along
the line. Yesterday Cleveland’s elec
tion was an absolute promise; to-day
it is an absolute verity. Ohio is nat
urally Republican. While I have been
in public life we have not carried the
State more than half a dozen times.
Our first great victory was in 1853,
when I was Chairman of the State
Central Committee, and when by the
hardest kind of work we won by 00,000.
The Gorman vote is to he thanked for
yesterday’s result. Without it we
would not have won. And it was chang
ed by the Republican attempt to foist
sumptuary laws on a people who had
left the obi country because ot arbitrary
Kaiser rule. Such enlightened and
philosophical men as Stallo object to
having the government dictate what
they should eat or drink or how they
should walk. The Republicans bad
run out of material f>r a State or Na
tional issue, and they fell back .on tem
perance with the idea that they would
meet with tlie same meed of success as
had come through this issue to the
party in lowa. The stand they took
lias defeated them in Ohio; it will ma
terially hurt the party in Illinois and
Indiana.”
“What is the prospect as to the
complexion of the next House of Rep
resentatives?”
i‘lf this thing keeps up it will have
a working Democratic majority of
from twenty to thirty. Wo shall gain
three or four in Indiana, two or three
ia Illinois, two in New Jersey, half a
dozen in New York, half a dozen in
Pennsylvania, one or two in Connecti
cut, perhaps two in Wisconsin, one in
Minnesota, three in Missouri, and
possibly one in lowa. The Ohio re
sult and the Republican divisions
hereabouts may give us all the Cali
fornia, delegation but one. Page may
be returned. We may-lose one in Ten
nessee, two in Kentucky, one or two
in Mississippi, and two in North Car
olina, and hold our own in Texas,
Georgia, South CarolinaandKentucky
This, of course, is a hasty and imper
fect estimate.”
“Then you think that Ohio will
help New York?”
“Without doubt. No money can
change the prevailing sentiment suf
ficiently to give the Republicans the
State. They can’t fix the jury with
litter, money or blarney. Yesterday’s
Waterloo also helps us in Pennsyl
vania, especially in the western portion,
which is settled by the backbone of
Ohio. The same influence which
made Ohio Democratic will wheel
Pennsylvania into line.”
“But it is said that the reserve in
Ohio will stiffen the Republican back
bone here.”
“There can’t be stiffening after such
a Waterloo. It is too demoraliz
ing.”
An Editor’s Candidacy.
Macon Evening Graphic.
We are pleased to learn from a
private letter of our friend and former
partner, Mr. 11. V/. J. Ham, editor
of the Gainsviile Eagle, and an attor
ney at law of the Gainsviile bar, will
be a candidate before the next Legisla
ture for the Solicitorship ot tlie North
ern Circuit. The circuit was created
at the last session of the General
Assembly and an election was had a
Judge and Solisitor to hold until the
meeting of the next Legislature. In
that contest Mr. Ham, although his
name was only brought out by his
friends a few days before the election,
received a m'ost flattering vote, coming
very near an election. His friends will
again present his name, and without
disparaging any of his opponents, we
are sure that the next Assembly can
do no better than elect him to the of
fice. With ten years’ experience at
the bar, a clear legal mind, and a most
happy delivery, we are sure the inter
est of the State would be safe in his
hands. The fact that ho has devoted
some part of his time for several years
past to journalism should be but
another argument in his favor, for it
lias afforded him opportunity to do
most effective work for the Democratic
part)-. More than this, it has made
him hosts of friends in tlie “fourth
estate” who will be glad of an oppor
tunity to aid one whose popularity has
made him once Vice-President of the
Georgia Press Association, and for
two years past its efficient Secretary.
Of his attainments as a lawyer, the
Judge and bar of his circuit, as well
as gentlemen of prominence from all
sectioms of the State, attest most free
ly, and if the party desire to honor a
young man who for years, by tongue
and pen, without reward or the hope
thereof, lias upheld and defended its
tenets, Mr. Ham should be unanmously
elected.
A Fortune
may be made by hard work, but can
neither be made nor enjoyed without

ical Discovery” is a real friend. It
stimulates the liver, purifies the blood
and is the best remedy for consump
tion, which is scrofulous disease of tlie
lungs. By- all druggists.
THE EASTMAN MURDERERS
Savannah News.
Eastman, Ga„ October 13—Various
and numerous intimations having been
received that we might have trouble on
the day of the hanging of the six negro
rioters recently convicted of the murder
of James Q. Haivard, on the 6th of
August last, and that an effort would
be made to rescue the prisoners and pre
vent their execution, the citizens of
Eastman held a meeting the other night
and resolved themselves into a tempo
rary military organization for the pro
tection and safety of the town, and to
assist the Sheriff in preventing trouble
of any sort should any unlawful attempt
be made by the negroes. L. M Peacock
was elected Captain, W. W. Harrell
and J. M. Sapp Lieutenants, and J.
Bishop, Jr. Orderly Sergeant. The
organization is to last only so long as
the necessity is thought to exist, and it
is to he subordinate to the Sheriff and
subject to his directions in case that
officer should need assistance in keep
ing the peace and carrying out the sen
tence ot the law.
The meeting adopted a resolution re
questing the City Council to put on
duty a sufficient police force on the 20th
instant, tho day of the execution, to
protect the town and maintain order.
Also, a resolution was passed recom
mending that the Conucil put on duty
several extra policemen for a few nights
before and after October 20.
On motion the following resolution
was unanimously adopted;
Resolved, That for the protection
of our town against any trouble possi
bly arising from intoxication on tlie day
of the execution of tlie six negroes to be
hanged here on the 20th inst., we, the
citizens of Eastman here assembled, do
respectfully petition the barkeepers of
Eastman and neighboring towns to nei
ther open, nor allow to be opened, their
barrooms at any hour on Thursday or
Friday, October 10th and 20th.
The Secretary, by request, has sent
copies of this resolution to Ilawkins
ville, Cochran, Dubois, Chauncey,
Mcßae, McVille and Lumber City.
While iu Cochran yesterday I was told
that the matter was being very favor
ably considered thore. Our neighbors
can readily see liow important this is
to us, for if there should he any trou
ble or disturbance on the day of the
hanging the disastrous consequences
would necessarily fall directly and al
most solely upon our town and com
munity, and we have already suffered
great expense, inconveniences and dam
age to business in consequence of the
famous riot of August 6th. T believe
all trouble may be avoided if all who
come here on that day will come per
fectly sober and remain sober until the
whole thing is over with. It is true
there have been a good many rumors
of threats of violence and of probable
attempts to forestall and prevent the
execution on the part of the colored
people. While the cases of the rioters
were being tried Judge Pate reccieved
a threatening anonymous postal card
from Macon. Directly after the trials
a scurrilous and shameful editorial ar
ticle was published in the Atlanta De
fiance, a negro paper, outrageously at
tacking our court, juries and officers,
and everybody at all connected with
the trials in any capacity whatever, and
calling upon the negroes of the whole
State to know whether they would
tamely submit to this thing. This
was copied by the Savannah Echo, an
other negro paper, and recently that
sheet published another article totally
unfounded in trnth or reason, and cal
culated to incite the negroes to violence
and interference with the due course of
law and justice. Besides this, when
the Sheriff left here with the prisoners
to take them to Bibb county jail for
safe keeping until the day for their ex
ecution, a crowd of excited negro wo
men gathered around them at the depot
in this place and made use of threaten
ing expressions. Another anonymous
postal card was put in our post office a
few days since addressed to “Mr. Every
body, by G—d,” and profanely threat
ening trouble on the day of the hang
ing, saying that “when those negroes
are hung we will all die together.”
There have also been reports of nu
merous other threats circulated in this
section that have never reached publi
cation. Sheriff Sapp received a letter
from the jailor in Macon yesterday,
saying that he had information that
tlie colored people there were organized
for the purpose of preventing the pris
oners from being brought hack here
and executed, and that it was rumored
that the railroad track between here
and Macon would be torn up and the
train wrecked on the day the prisoners
are to be brought down in order to res
cue them. It is further said that the
negroes in all the neighboring counties
are in sympathy with the unlawful and
unreasonable movement, and that a
thousand negroes may be brought here
on the 20th instant or the night befoie
to play the mischief.
It is impossible to say whether or
not any of these threats will be carried
out. Some of them may have origina
ted in the brain of some fellow desiring
to get up a sensation for the mere fun
of the thing, or they may be the vaga
ries of some foolish young negro bucks
who think they know everything, but
really haven’t sense enough to foresee
the rashness and danger of such an
undertaking as that' which has been
threatened. At any rate, it were well
for those who are disposed to partici
pate in such an unlawful enterprise
that they bear in mind that we are de
termined to nip in the Imd every proba
ble or even possible disturbance, and
we are therefore organized and will be
prepared to meet any emergency. Sheriff
Sapp will have a hundred or perhaps
two hundred armed men on duty from
this connty. These will he backed by
the town, under command of Mr. Pea
cock, as already stated. In addition
to these, thirty or more well equipped
meu will come down from Cochran to
assist in guard duty, and there may be
more from other places. It is our in
tention simply that the law shall assert
its majesty at all hazards. J. 8., Jr.
