FOR COXGRESSMAN-A T-LAItOE:
THOMAS HARDEMAN,
OF 8188.
FOB CONG BBSS 3rd DISTRICT;
JUDGE C. F. CRISP,
OF SUMTEK.
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:
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.
The blanks for the Congressional
election have been received by the Ordi
nary. Sumter should give Hardeman
and Crisp a full and unanimous vote.
Ex-Speaker Randall says the Ohio
election makes the House Democratic
beyond a doubt. He expects a gain of
three or four Democrats from Pennsyl
vania.
The home of Mr. Rutherford B. Hays
went Democratic last Tuesday by 800
majority, and the home of the late Pres
ident Garfield gave a net Democratic
gain of 30 votes.
The latest returns from Ohio give
the Democrats thirteen Congressmen
out of twenty-one, McKinly, republican
from the Eighteenth District is only
elected by 8 votes over Wallace. The
Democrats give notice that this election
will he contested.
Ben. Butler has accepted the Dem
ocratic and National Greenback Labor
nominations for Governor of Massa
chusetts. Old cock-eye is a little like
Grant—he’ll accept anything that
is tendered him ; and if not tendered
lie’ll take it anyhow—spoons, for in
stance.
We reckon that when McKinley, of
Ohio, who has been re-elected to Con
gress by a majority of nineteen votes,
takes a retrospect and remembers that
he voted to turnout of the present Con
gress Democrats having five or six thou
sand majority, a sense of impending
retributive justice makes him tremble.
The Supreme court of Wisconsin has
given a decision which has greatly dis
turbed the grain gamblers. An opera
tor lost 2,500, or would have done so if
he had settled up, but he refused to
pay, and was sued for the money. The
verdict in a circuit court was against
him, but this was set aside on appeal,
the higher court deciding that as so
grain was actually bought or sold, the
operation was simply a wager, and
therefore a violation of the gambling
law.
Who Can Vote.
The question lias been frequently
asked us how long a risidence in the
State or county is necessary to vote.
Below we give the law upon the sub
ject that every person desiring to vote
may do so intelligently and legally:
“Every male citizen of the United
States, except as hereinafter provided,
twenty-one years of age, who shall have
resided in this State one year next pro
ceeding the election and shall have re
sided six months in the county in which
he offers to vote, and shall have paid
all taxes, which since the adoption of
the constitution of 1877, have been re
quired previous to the year in which he
offers to vote, etc.
The exceptions above referred to are.
Ist. “Those who have been convict
ed in any court of competent jurisdic
tion, of treason, of embezzlement of the
public funds, malfeasance in office, bri
bery, or larceny, or of any crime involv
ing moral turpitude, punishable by the
laws of this State with imprisonment
in the penitentiary, hnless such person
shall have been pardoned.
2d. Idiots and insane persons.
On the subject of residence, the law
is that the domicil of a person of full
age is the place where his family per
manently resides, and if he has no fam
ily, then the place where he shall gen
erally lodge. The domicil is changed
by an actual change of residence, but
must be accompanied by an avowed in
tention of remaining.
Married men who lived here over six
months, but whose families live in an
other county .cannot vote in this county.
Single men who losija here for that
time, cannot vote here unless they avow
their intention of remaining here.

A canvass of two months has de
monstrated to the judge that the peo
ple had put him on the scales and
finding him wanting, have received his
message with that coldness and repul
sion, which developed the convincing
“sower of political and party preju
dices,” satisfying him of the utter folly
of a further prosecution of the canvass.
We foretold this at the outset, and are
not disappointed only in his prudence,
by avoiding the catastrophe which
would have befallen him in November.
Personal pride and the forlorn hope will
keep Felton and Speer in the saddle, but
judge Twiggs has already found that
liis other business is too important for
him to attend his appointments. The
prospect of a Democratic House ol
Representatives is bringing on, with
most of the independents, the pro
monotory symptoms of political conges

To the Voters of the Third Con
gressional District: When, a few weeks
since, I announced myself a candidate
for Congress, I did so upon principles
which I embodied in an address, and
upon which I stood immovable during
my canvass. These principles have not,
nor can be, controverted, and to-day are
more important to the interests of tbe
producing and laboring classes of our
district than tbe patent platform of any
political party or the success of any
political candidate. Whilst this is
true, I am not unaware of the power of
political and party prejudices. These
are difficult to overcome, even when cool
judgment is consulted, but in a heated
canvass, where they are alone appealed
to, it is impossible to do so. Recog
nizing these facts, I withdraw my can
didacy and fall back to share my equal
burdens with the class I aspired to
represent, and which it was my only
ambition to lighten. I have no regrets
as to my course in the canvass. I have
appealed to no prejudices—misrepre
sented no one—retailed no second-hand
slanders—made no bargains, and stand
to-day, as I entered the canvass, with
my selt-respect untarnished. To my
many friends in the district, and out of
it, who have voluntarily tendered me
their generous support and encourage
ment, I return my hearty thanks. To
the newspapers, also, who have opened
their columns to me, I return thanks
and request that they send their hills to
me at Americus, Ga.

The Republican Stampede in New
York.
A New York letter says: “A bomb
shell dropped at Republican headquar
ters this afternoon in the shape of a
letter from Judge William J. Bacon, a
member of the Forty-fifth Congress
from the Oneida district, and formerly
a Judge of the Supreme Court of this
State, repudiating ‘the doings at Sara
toga,’ and declaring outright that he
will support the Democratic nominee.
Judge Bacon says: ‘I shall vote for
Cleveland and Hill.’ lam not bound
as a Republican to vote for the two
men on the Saratoga ticket, whose nom
ination was conceived in sin and
brought forth in iniquity; but, on the
other hand, both conscience and honor
compel me to repudiate them. Fraud,
falsehood and forgery vitiate all con
tracts and release from all obligations,
expressed or implied. * * * Be
sides, I think, it is high time to ad
minister a rebuke to the administration
at Washington; to say with some em
phasis that the citizens ofa sovereign
State are not prepared to accept of a
candidate made by its order, nor to al
low any President, regular or acciden
tal, to tell them whom they shall not
nominate for their own rulers.’
“The ‘stalwarts’ hardly know wlut
to make or think of this, which certain
ly ‘looks rebellion.’ On the other hand,
the Democrats are acting as if they ex
perienced no such perplexity. With a
fine eye to business they have placard
ed a copy of the letter in big typo at
their principal headquarters, and with
in the next twenty-four hours, I am
told, it will be posted in the halls of
all the ward associations.”
A republican contemporary concisely
sums up the situation for 1884 in a
form convenient for reference, which we
commend to Democrats all over the
country:
“We go into a Presidential election
with a hundred and forty-one electoral
votes cast and counted for the Democ
racy before the polls open! And then
we have a lree fight for the remaining
two hundred and sixty. If the Democ
racy can carry sixty one of thcae they
have the President. If the Republi
cans can carry two hundred and two of
them they have the President.”
Not bad odds as we look at the fig

Latham, Alexander & Co.’s Cot
ton Report.
We are indebted to Messrs. Latham,
Alexander & Cos., of New York, for a
copy of their annual report for the cot
ton year recently closed. It is gotten
up in even handsomer style than their
previous publications, which were gems
of the printing and binding arts. Its
frontispiece illustration of “types of
plantation life” is very good—a happy
portraiture of negro physiognomy in all
its characteristics.
The tables in the hook give the usual
statistical information about cotton,
showing the movement and fluctuations
from 1875 to 1882. The cotton future
system of speculating is also fully des
cribed, and its extent shown.
The accuracy with which the Messrs.
Latham, Alexander & Cos., predicted
the size of the last crop is wonderful.
On October Bth they put it at 5,500-
000 bales, or 43,952 more than it act
ually was. This estimate was based
on the information contained in their
general correspondence. As this esti
mate was criticised severely, they sent
out circulars to 1,634 bankers, factors,
etc, and made anew estimate of 5,454,-
647, only 1,401 bales over the actual
crop. This is marvellous, except when
we consider the enormous business done
by this house, its conservative charac
ter, and the ability of the men who
direct it.
In view of their success in dealing
with the last crops we give below the
conclusion of the.report:
There is every indication of a full
rate of consumption everywhere, and a
large American crop seems indispens
able ■to replenish exhausted stock
and to meet the increasing demand.
Taking England and the continent to
gether,it would not be at all surprising
if the present consumption, estimated
by Messrs. Ellison & Cos., Liverpool,
at 131,000 bales, of 400 pounds per
week,should be exceeded in the course of
the year. Tbe continental mills have
been prospering, stocks are much re
duced, and their requirement will no
doubt be considerably greater this year
than last. At least 100,008 bales ad
ditional will be required to meet the in
creased consumption of the United
States. In all parts of the country
business is active and crops of every
kind are excellent. The influx of some
800,000 immigrants during the year is
alone an important item in the United
States consumption of cotton goods.
“European grain crops have turned
out much better than expected, and
the home demand for cotton goods in
Great Britain and on the continent will
doubtless be good. It would also be
strange if after the immense crops of
all kinds in India the demand thence
should not improve, and, in this con
nection the taking off of the Indian
duties on fine goods should not bo over
looked.
“Moreover, restoration of order in
Egypt, and perfect security in passing
through the Suez canal will, no doubt,
give an impulse to trade. What may
be the future course of prices no one
can foresee, but there is certainly no
aspect of the cotton situation now to
warrant a belief either in dull trade or
low prices; on the contrary,the outlook
is generally favorable everywhere,espec
ially so for American planters and
spinners. There is no probability of
our crop exceeding the legitimate wants
of the world, and the capability of onr
mills will be taxed to the utmost to
meet the large growing demand of our
home trade.
“Stocks of American cotton are small
in all the markets of the world, in fact
a great deficiency exists. Besides, spin
ners in Europe hold but a small supply
and while the trade of the manufac
turers of Manchester may now be such
as to cause complaints within a short
time the effect of the bountiful harvest,
increasing business and other influences
now offered may remove every cause of
dissatisfaction.
“Briefly stated, the outlook for the
cotton interest generally seems more
promising than for several years past,
and there is hardly a doubt that the
crop of 1882-3 will prove alike profit
able to planters, spinners and manu
facturers. Very truly,
“Latiiam, Alexander & Cos.”

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT THE
DEPOT.
Governor rolqnlUTelegraplis !o Hold
llie EasUiiaii ICiotcrs in tTEucon I n
til 'Fo-morrow.
Macon Graphic 19th.
This morning was the time oppoint
ed by the posse of twenty-four men
which came up from Dodge county yes
terday to take the rioters down to East
man, where they are expected to be
hanged to-morrow. The six condemn
ed prisoners were marched from the
jail under guard of the posse, who were
armed with pistols and shot guns, to
the depot to take the Brunswick train,
which leaves at 8;30 a. m.
An immense crowd composed princi
pally, of negroes assembled about the
depot to catch a glimpse of the rioteis,
and the excitement of the oacasion was
very great, and produced the impression
that if so much concern was manifested
in Macon, what must be the situation
in Eastman, where the passions and
indignation of the people run high.
Hie prisoners were safely placed ou
the cars and the posse and all were ea
gerly awaiting the ringing of the bell
for the train to start, as there had ex
isted all day yesterday an impression
that the governor would send some kind
of respite or reprieve and there is no
denying the fact that the guard were
anxious to get the prisoners from Ma
con ere any order could come from the
governor detaining them in Macon.
The hour for departure dragged slowly.
Just as the clock in the ticket office
pointed to two minutes before leaving
time, a stir was noticed in the crowd,
indicating the happening of some im
portant event. Presently the tall form
of Sam Wescott, the popular sheriff of
Bibb county, was seen hurrying through
the throng of excited spectators, and
rushed into the car where the condemn
ed prisoners were and handed a couple
of telegrams to Mr. Bennett Jones, who
was in charge of the posse.
One of the telegrams was dated at
Atlanta, Ga., October 19th, 1882, and
was add ressed to the sheriff or jailor of
this county, and read:
“Hold the Eastman prisoners until
to-morrow. Show this to Bennett Jones.
[Signed] A. H. Colquitt.
Governor.”
The second telegram was also dated
Atlanta, October'l9. 1882, and was
addressed to Capt. W. W. Carnes, and
was as follows:
“The governor lias just given the
jailor peremptory orders to hold pris
oners until to-morrow. Oulv thirty
minutes. See him and Jones quick.
Answer. [Signed] Baird.”
The telegrams settled the matter.
They arrived just in the nick of time,
and Mr. Bennett Jones could do noth
ing else than obey tbe orders of the
governor; so accordingly, the prisoners
were taken out of the car and escorted
back to jail, followed by a large crowd
of excited people, who hung around
the jail enclosure for several hours as
if expecting some new developments
of a sensational nature to arise. When
thetelegrams|from Atlanta were read it
was evident that the members of the
posse were thoroughly disgruntled, and
their displeasure at the order of the
governor was thoroughly manifest.
Most of the posse went to Eastman
this morning, but a few remained
over and will take the prisoners down
to-morrow should no command from
the governor come to the contrary.
We understand that the people of
Eastman are thoroughly aroused over
the anticipated hanging to-morrow,
and should the prisoners ever reach
Eastman and there receive a reprieve
from the governor it would avail noth
ing, as it is thought the friends of the
young man who was killed would arise
in their might and lynch the prisoners.
So, if the governor proposes to respite
them he had better do so ere they leave
Macon. The situation is one of great
excitement and alarm.
The Deplorable Results of Fright
ening a Child.
Macon Graphic.
Those who were at the depot last
evening might have seen a sight that
would have, forever acted as a terrible
warning against the senseless and
almost criminal practice of frightening
children. Mr. 0. T. Armstrong, of
Heard county, was carrying to Mill
edgeville a drivelling idiot only ten
years old, that a few months since was
a bright and intelligent little hoy.
It appears that he and his older
brother were in their bedroom one night,
when someone thoughtlessly'or malic
iously stuck a horse head or masked
head of some kind in at the window,
frightening the little boys so badly that
they at once lost their reason, and
shortly afterwards went blind.
The older brother was first taken to
Milledgoville where he died, and now
the younger is going over probably to
share the same fate. Death, in fact,
would be a relief to him, blind and
idiotic as he is.
The perpetrator of such a hideous
piece of folly will, no doubt, carry
through life the lesson thus learned;
and it is to he hoped that this sad story
will be circulated throughout the State
and have its due effect.
