Election Tuesday, November 7th, 1882. APPOINTMENTS. Charles F. Crisp, Democratic nominee for Congress from the Third Congressional District, will address his fellow-citizens at the following named time and places. All are in vited to attend: . Mcßae, Thursday, Oct. 19. Mt. Vernon, Monday, Oct. 23. Montezuma, Wednesday, Oct. 25. Lumpkin, Friday, Oct. 27. Preston, Monday, Oct. 30. Ellaville, Wednesday, Nov. 1. Oglethorpe, Thursday, Nov. 2. Leesburg, Saturday, Nov. 4. 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.

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.

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 health. To those leading sedentary lives Dr. R. V. Pierce’s “Golden Med 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. JAMES FRICKER, U \, FRICKER. Danville, A a. Americus, Ga, Jas. Fricker & Bros’. • AND MUSICAL iraOHf USB!
