“How Long? Oh, How Long?”
That the citizens of this section of Geor
gia may form some small estimate of how
things are being managed in the once grand
and noble old Palmetto State, we copy the
following short article from the Chronicle <§•
Sentinel, Augusta, of the 14th inst. Let eve
ry white man in the State recollect that what
the people of South Carolina are now under
going. will, in the event of the success of the
Radicals in November, be meted out to
“Democratic Georgia” whenever a pretext
for this display of oppression can be “work
ed up*’ by t!>e “head devils” of the party in
this State. We cannot conceive of a more
earnest appeal than is here illustrated, to the
lovers of home and country, wives and chil
dren, to go out on Tuesday, the 7th Novem
ber, und assist in ridding the country of this
political “pestilence” and curse, by voting
for “ Tilden and Reform.*’
A Spectacle for Gods and Men. —Wc
are informed that last Thursday, squads of
United States soldiers were traversing the
lower portion of Aiken county, South Caroli
na, arresting peaceable and unoffending citi
zens. Asa house was reached the occupant
would be brought forth and dragged through
the rain to Aiken. There they were huddled
into jail, wet to the skin and without fire, to
await the pleasure of the United States Com
missioner. These men had committed no
crime. They were respectable, law abiding
citizens. But they happened to have politi
cal opinions of their own, and they were per
secuted for opinion's sake. Because they
refused to debase themselves and degrade
their State by espousing the cause of thieves
and murderers, they have been hunted down
like outlaws and treated as the vilest felons.
This is a specimen of the political liberty
guaranteed to the citizen by the Constitution
of the United States. Martial law lias taken
the place of civil authority and the bayonet
usurps the functions of the bench. What
was done Thursday is but a specimen of what
was done yesterday and what will be done
to-day. If there be justice and generosity in
the breasts of the people of the North, this
crime will bring its own punishment. Per
secution will re-act against the persecutors.
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the
church.
To prove that the “ideas" hinted at in
introducing the above article is no “mere
idle fancy,” we copy below, first, a paragraph
from the Cincinnati Commercial, and then,
an extract from the comments of the Atlan
ta Constitution, in allusion to the subject in
question :
“If the South can. as it has done and is
doing, subjugate the democratic party, it can
not subjugate the country. The North will
no more permit the negro to be re-enslaved
than it. would permit him to remain a slave.
There may be a brief triumph of the rifle and
the bowic knife, but soon there will come
another revolution, and that will lay the
power and prosperity of the South in the
shade.”
We present the ominous prophecy, (says
the Constitution.) in order that our people
may not be overtaken by the storm unawares.
They will now understand that their devotion
to the correct and time-honored principles of
a free republican government is to be reward
ed by’ a “ revolution that will lay the power
and prosperity of the South in the dust.” In
other words, the revolution now progressing
under the banner of the Radical party is to
become a success. Wc are thus given to un
derstand that upon the next occasion when
federal bayonets drive from their halls anoth
er Georgia Legislature, the representatives
of a free people shall never again enter there.
That whenever the act of the 6th of January,
'75, is repeated in Louisiana, it will be a fiat,
irrevocable and beyond appeal. That when
ever the strong arm of the Central Despotism
falls, the memorials, the supporters and
standards of freedom—of civil liberty—shall
forever disappear. The revolution, then, is
not coming—it is already here !
The Senatorship.
A correspondent of the Savannah Neics,
writing from Atlanta, in speaking of Messrs.
Norwood, Smith, Hill and others, as the can
didates for U. S. Senator before the next
Legislature, remarks, in a somewhat humor
ous vein, as follows, concerning Mr. Hill’s
prospects :
It is impossible for me to estimate Mr*
Hill’s chances for the Senatorship. He and
his friends seem to be not only confident, but
enthusiastic, but his friends always arc. He
is the sort of a man to get up enthusiasm. Un
fortunately for Mr. Hill, however, the most
prominent of his supporters in this city (so
far as I have seen.) arc young men, who have
little or no influence outside of Fulton countv.
They are all boys of promise, and one day
will be men of mark, but in political life they
are at present still in the goslin stage. Nearly
all of them have silvery tongues, and some of
these odd-come-shorts they will use them to
advantage. “These Hill men.” said apolitician
to me yesterday., “follow Ren around, and
whenever ho makes a track they gather up
the sand in their hats and save it.” This
politician, it must be remembered, was a Smith
man, but he illustrated in his uncouth style
the sort of enthusiasm which Ren Hill arouses
among the young men who are thrown much
in his way. I ought to include Henry Gradv
among those whom the Smith men facetiously
call “sand lifters,” but as Gradv is soon to
take orders. I suppose it would be becoming
in me to spare him.
Change of Schedule.
Owing to a change on the Air-Line, the

THE PROSPECTS FOR NOVEMBER.
The “ reality ” is almost too close at hand
to allow “ speculations' ’ on the result of the
President ial contest to be of much interest or
importance. However, for the encouragemeut
of those who may feel any ways despairing
on account of the recent elections in Ohio
and Indiana, we copy the following from one
of our most reliable “exchanges.” and in so
doing, trust that the worthy compiler may
not be mistaken in his calculations:—
“The enemy's victory in Ohio is virtually a
defeat. With the prestige of their last suc
cess, with the Republican candidate for the
Presidency a native of the State, and with
the Democracy weakened by dissensions
growing out of the currency question, they
should have carried a State where Republican
majorities in Presidential years since 1860
have averaged twenty-five thousand, by from
fifteen to twenty thousand. In the fact that
they carried it by only five or six thousand
is a confession of weakness which will proba
bly cost them the State in November.
The success of the Democracy in Indiana
renders the election of Governor Tilden a
certainty 7 . Since 1860 the average Republi
can majorities in Indiana at the October elec
tion in Presidential years has been nearly
eight thousand, the Democrats carrying the
State but once, and then by less than twelve
hundred votes. The Democracy this year
sweep the State by a majority so largo that
it cannot possibly be overcome in November,
and the chances are that it will be increased
at that time. We have always contended
that Indiana was the pivotal point in the
Presidential campaign. If the Republicans
had carried it, only a desperate flight would
have saved us from defeat in November. But.
as the Democrats have carried it. their suc
cess is reduced to a certainty. Let us sec if
we cannot show reason for our confidence
with a few figures which we have compiled
since the recent elections. The total electo
ral vote is three hundred and sixty-nine. The
successful candidate must receive one hun
dred and eighty-five. We have classified this
vote as follows :
Doubtful States. —Florida. 4 ; Louisiana,
8; Wisconsin. 10; South Carolina, 7. To
tal doubtful, 20.
We have placed among the doubtful States
four in which all the chances are in favor of
the Democracy. They arc almost certaiu of
the fourteen electoral votes of Florida and
Wisconsin, but as they are not quite certain
we put these States in the doubtful list.
Republican States. —Colorado, 3 ; Illinois,
21; lowa, 11; Kansas, 5 ; Maine, 7 ; Massa
chusetts, 13; Michigan. 11; .Minnesota, 5 ;
Nebraska, 3; Nevada, 3; New Hampshire,
5; Ohio, 22 ; Pennsylvania, 25 ; Rhode Is
land, 4 ; Vermont, 5. Total Republican. 147.
While there is every reason to believe that
the result of the recent election in Ohio will
so dispirit the Republicans and encourage
the Democrats as to give the State to Tilden
in November we place it now in the doubtful
list.
Democratic States. —Alabama, 10; Arkan
sas, G; California, 6; Connecticut, 6; Dela
ware. 3; Georgia, 11; Indiana, 15; Ken
tucky’, 12; Maryland, 8; Mississippi, 8;
M issouri, 15; New Jersey, 9; New York,
35; Nortli Carolina, 10; Oregon, 3; Ten
nessee. 12; Texas. 8; Virginia, 11; West
Virginia, 5. Total Democratic, 193.
There is not a State in this list which is
not considered certain, and it foots up one
hundred and ninety-three votes for Mr. Til
de'-’, or thirteen more than are necessary to
his election. If Hayes carries all the doubt,
ful States the vote would stand : Hayes, 176 ;
Tilden, 193.
There is not the slightest danger of losing
New Jersey, but suppose it should go Repub
lican and that Hayes should also carry", in
addition to New Jersey, the vote of every
doubtful State except Florida, the vote would
then stand : Hayes, 180; Tilden, 189. And
the Democratic candidate would have four
votes more than arc necessary to an election.
The chances are. however, that Tilden will
carry all the States in his list and Florida,
Minnesota and Louisiana besides. The vote
would then stand: Hayes, 154; Tilden, 215.
Our figures we believe to be correct, and
we feel convinced that the result of the No
vember election will prove their accuracy.—
Chronicle $ Sentinel.
Drowning Ifien Catch at Straws.
And so the latest devilish device we have
heard of to be adopted by the Radicals for
the purpose of carrying the Presidential elec
tion is this, viz : Men will be sent all over
the South, just prior to the election, to in
struct and prevent the colored people from
voting, and intimidation by the whites of the
South will be assigned as a reason for the
blacks not voting, and the vote of the South,
ern States will be ruled out of the electoral
college upon this ground. If this is true,
and we do not doubt it. for Radicalism is
only the synony m of all that is deceptive,
devilish and mean, the white people of the
South should be watchful and see to it that
no ground whatever for the charge of intimi
dation of the blacks can be brought against
them.
Rev. L. Rush.
In the Hartwell Sun, of the 11th inst., we
find the following allusion to this eminent
divine—so highly" esteemed by very many of
our county and town readers: —“ Rev. L.
Rush, of Senobia, Coweta County, Ga.,
preached in the Methodist Church on Thurs
day and Friday nights, and delivered two
sermons on Saturday" and Sunday. Up to
Sunday night he had ridden 210 miles on
horseback, and preached 23 times within 21
days. We think this pretty" good work for a
man who is 66 years of age. It is more than
younger men could go through with. He
seems to have the vigor of youth. He is a
forcible reasoner. logical speaker and eloquent
orator.
Charleston an Aviary of Birds.
The Charleston Journal of Commerce, of
the 12th, says % The city wa9 swarmed last
night witli several species of birds, some re
sembling very much the dove, but consider
ably smaller than that bird, and other small
birds, about the size of the sparrow, resem
bling nonpareils. These little visitors made
their appearance about nine o’clock last even
ing in large numbers all over the city. They
could be seen skimming the pavements, dodg
ing into the corners of the doors and windows.
One gentleman on Market street caught twen
ty-six iu his store in a short time and caged
them in his show-case. The Journal of Com
merce office was attacked by them, and the
windows of the composing room had to be
i shut down to keep them out. Sea captains
say that they indicate that there has been a
fearful storm in some locality and that these
birds have been driven from their abode by
the storm. The}’ are evidently a specie of
bird from afar off and not accustomed to our
climate, as they appear to be very much at a
loss here.
In connection w’ith the above we copy the
following paragraph from the Savannah Nevjs,
of the 13th:—
Bmps.—Our sanctum presented a lively
spectacle last evening. The prevailing storm
had blown into the Morning News building,
both office and composing room, a number of
birds of several varieties, and having been
placed in our sanctum for shelter, they flitted
about our head and chirped in gleeful style.
Flocks of wild geese passed over the city last
evening.
Georgia Genius.
AN IMPORTANT AND USEFUL INVENTION.
AYe saw yesterday the model of a road ma
chine. invented by Mr. Warren 11. Hancock,
of this county. The inventor claims for it
several advantages over the machines already
patented. In the first place, it will be much
lighter, and therefore able to run with ease
over the heaviest roads upon which the large
machines have made failures. It can be run
bv engines of from one to eight horse power.
While the invention can be utilized for bug
gies or carriages, it is intended principally
for wagons and plows. On good roads it is
claimed that it can make a mile in four or
five minutes. The wheels are so connected
with the machinery that the rapidity of their
rotation can be easily regulated by the dri
ver. Thus on hard roads they can be made
to revolve with great rapidity, and through
sand or mud at a slower rate. The wheel
attachment is designed for either gearing or
friction. The inventor prefers the latter for
very light machines. The invention can also
be used without steam, applied to velocipedes
and similar structures. The rider, in such
case, turns a crank with his hands, and can
U3e it alike on hard or Soft ground. The in
vention is certainly a very important one,
and reflects much credit upon Mr. Hancock,
who is a citizen of this county, and quite a
young man.
The inventor has applied for a patent. He
forwarded the model to Washington yester
day afternoon. — Aug. Chron. <s• Sent., 14 th.

In passing sentence upon a colored hog
thief the other da}’, Judge Mackey, the grim
dispenser of justice in the Sixth (South Car
olina) District, asked the culprit what time it
would require to bring a race of hogs up to
full weight and maturity ? The thief allowed
it would require about three years. Well,
said the Judge, I will give you just three
years and a half at hard labor in the State’s
prison, as I wish to give the people in your
neighborhood ample time to raise anew stock
before you regain your liberty.
Another member of the colored persuasion,
who was convicted of arson, was called up
for sentence and was told if he had been a
white man he would give him one hundred
years in the penitentiary, but inasmuch as
he was a colored man, and he wished to give
him an opportunity to see the next Centen
nial, he would make it only 99 years.— Awj.

The Reading Eagle says: Mr. Samuel
Frees, of Albany township, has a beard over
four feet long. It has been fifteen years in
growing, and he has plaited it together closely
until it resembles closely matted sea-grass.
In addition to this, Mr. Frees wears long hair,
and experiences no inconvenience from the
heat, while it affords him protection from the
cold. The beard he wears under his shirt
bosom, and he ties it around his body. It is
quite a curiosity. 11 is beard and hair makes
him very strong, and able to endure almost
any kind of exposure. Before he wore his
beard he was not so strong and healthy as he
is now.
