vide for their payment, the position of
Gov. Tilden will doubtless find strong
endorsement throughout the Southern
States.
This constitutional interdict of
the payment of “ Southern War
Claims’* is but the work of the party
which has held sway since the war,
hence, Radical claim agents would, of
course, stand a much better showing
under an administration of their own
party than they would before Gov.
Tilden and a Democratic Congress.

A Visit to the Gate City.
Atlanta is a great place. Every
body says so ami there can be no doubt
of it. We have always been that way
of thinking, and having spent two
days of last week iu the Gate city, we
are prepared to add additional testi
mony of its greatness. The people of
that city arc kind, courteous, polite and
hospitable which makes the sojourner
in their midst feel that he is among
friends. They are a people of gene
rous impulses aud a liberality of
thought and feeling which not only
makes Atlanta a place of pleasant hab
itation, but serves a strong inductive
influence towards the increase of its
population. They are public spirited,
industrious, enterprising and with an
unceasing enthusiasm in behalf of all
that tends the prosperity aud gemraj
welfare of their community, such as
will ever secure to Atlanta that go a-
head-a-tiveness which.has made her
what she is, and is destined to make
her the greatest city of the South.
Well, we are glad we went to

Governor Til den’s Letter to
Mr. Hewitt.
In another column we present the
letter of Gov. Tilden to Hon. Abram
S. Hewitt, Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, in relation te
“ Southern War Claims.” This pro-
nunciamento of Gov. Tilden’s in re
gard to this special class of claims, was
drawn forth, upon the charge of the
Republican party, that the representa
tives of the South, in the hvent of Mr.
Tilden’s election, would urge the pay
ment of such claims before Congress,
and no doubt with hope of success.
This charge is altogether in keeping
with the miserable subtifuges to which
the Radical party is resorting, and like
their many baseless fabrications, needs
only the presentation of the truth to
way. The people were all in good
spirits, especially about the presidential
election. Everybody was confident of
Tilden’s election, and their enthusiasm
was not based upon mere conjecture 0.1
political speculation, but they were
prepared to show strong grounds for
their convictions and a safe basis for
their calculations. There is no doubt
abont it, we feel much better, we feel
greatly helped up, notwithstanding we
have all the time been among the hope
ful. We are glad we went among
this people. Then again there was
another cause of our good feeling re
sulting from this visit. The citizens
of Atlanta, especially the commercial
and business men talked very nicely
about our new railroad. They think
it is a good thing for Athens, aud will
help their city as well. They speak of
the alliance being formed betweeu
Athens and Atlanta, through the
Northeastern Railroad. Well such
talk, such evidences* were certainly
gratifying and we greatly trust our
people will fully reciprocate the feeling
and spirit of the good people of At
lanta, and that our promised alliance
will, bring into each city better and
more prosperous times. We like to
talk about this matter and when we
have more time and space will have
more to say on the subject.
What Mr. Schurz Thought of
the Republican Party.
Mr. Schurz in a speech delivered at
Syracuse, N. Y, October, 1872 gave
utterance to the following:
“ And thus it is that thegreat name,
the great authority of the Republican
party in its national capacity, is being
used this very momect to uphold the
most atrocious system of government
which this country ever saw. A party
which cannot live and prosper unless it
be supported by a revival ot the old
war feeling, and by tearing open again
the wounds from which the people of
Presbyterian, Baptist and Lutheran j Tennessee ii
churches? Can the businessmen of j Texas...‘..7.7.777.8

merce, telling of disaster and ruin to' By this showing Tilden has thir-
the business interests of the . Palmet* teen votes to spare, with as fair
to State, whose cotton and rice are as | (-fiance of securing tlie sixteen classed
essential in N ew England homes as j as doubtful as his opponent. Califor-
is the return that is made in shoes, n i a i* naturally a Republican State,
notions, and other products of! The divisions in flie party which ad
mitted the success of the indepen-
Northem enterprise to the people
of the South. But apart from all
sordid and selfish considerations:
apart from the tie that binds church
man to ehurchman; apart from the
clannish feeling that unites kindred
to kindred, race to race; in the name
of that God who in his inscrutable
wisdom permits the wicked for a
time to flourish, but who has implant
ed in every human heart the love of
freedom, and who over-ruleth all
things to make manifest liis honor and
glory; in the name of dangered civil
liberty, will the free-born citizens of
the Republic suffer unrebuked a usur
per to despoil an unoffending people
of their rights, to overrun their State
with the military, not in the interests
of peace, of order, and good govern •
ment, bat simply and manifestly with
the sole view of retaining in power
the notoriously corrupt set of thieves
and scoundrels to whom the unfor
tunate State of South Carolina was
delivered over to be preyed upon
years ago, and forjthe purpose of com
pelling its electoral vote to be cast
for the Radical presidential ticket-
Men of the North, while it is day
remedy these unblushing outrages;
arise iu the majesty of your power
and declare that henceforth and for
ever the Republic shall never bo en

abuse of power has brought shame to

dents have been healed, and it now
presents a united front to the Democ
racy ; but tlie latter, in handling the
Chinese question bid much higher for
the vote of the State than the Ilepub*
licans, and the Chinese is the para
mount question on the slope. Wis
consin went for Grant in 1868 and
1872, but it now contains a large Ger
man vote now ready to fall in with
the Democrats, and a large number
of its local officers is filled from the
membership of the party.
Six weeks ago, counting ou the
possible'Ioss of Indiana, Chandler in
timated that it might be mcessary to
secure Florida, Louisiana and Miss
issippi, even if a resort to terroism
were necessary. With these States,
and California and Wisconsin, Hayes
would be elected, but this break in the
“ solid South’’ can be made only by
meaus so illegal, outrageous, oppressive
and revolutionary, that, unscrupulous
as Chandler is known to be, he would
scarcely dare attempt them. The ef
fect on the North of such a course'
would tend to defeat its aim. Chan
dler would be obliged to conspire with
Cameron, Taft and Grant. To some
extent their preparations necessarily
would be open and obvious, and would
cause such a revulsion as would place
California and Wisconsin, possibly
Ohio and New Hampshire, in the
Tilde* column.
The Tildenites made gain? in Maine
a;;d Vermont. They weie slight, but
not without significance. Why should
they lose in their own States? Why,
with the prestige of the Indiana vic
tory, should they not gain everywhere?
The outlook is decidedly Tildenish.
