ftewttijm&etfeettc RICHARD W. GRUBB, Editor <fc Propri r. ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 50. DARIEN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. 12th, 1874. FOR CONGRESS-FIRST DISTRICT: Hon, Julian Hartridge, OF SAVANNAH. OUR CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS, The people of the First Congress ional District should rally to a man, in support of the Hon. Julian Har tridge as our next Congressman. Their delegates to the Blnckshear Conven tion have done their duty well and no bly, in making a selection. Let the people who sent them there come to the polls on the day of the election and support their choice. Let the majority this year be so great for Hartridge that a Radical Congress cannot even have the semblance of an excuse for giving the place to Bryant or Wimberly. This can only be done by every true man in the D.strict do ing his duty, and that duty is one that he cannot evade. Let each coun ty organize and select their best men to represent them in the Legislature, but let them be of that material that will work and not sit quietly down and wait for their friends to elect them, because, say they, there is a large democratic majority in the coun ty and lam sure to be elected. We want no such men in our Legislature —for important as may be the next session, there is a Civil Rights bill before Congress of far greater impor tance aud if passed will not only leave one great State, but the whole South, in a deplorable condition, and result in—wo know not what. By the election of Julian Hartridge the First District of Georgia will not only stand one in man, but first in ability and integrity. From all over tbe State comes an appeal to the peo ple of the First District to do their duty. Georgia has an interest in this matter as well as tLie First Dis trict, and let no man disregard the call. It is within our power to elect our candidate; let us then all work for the desirable end. General Grant. —The St. Louis Re publican says there is no outright quarrel between President Grant and the Republican party, but there is an estrangement. The two are drifting apart. Fivo Republican State Con ventions have been held recently, and not one of them has extended to the President'the cheap, nominal courtesy of an indorsement. This silence on the part of the Republicans of Indi ana, Illinois and Michigan, and these direct rebukes from those of Kansas and Pennsylvania, indicate not o ly a determined opposition of the North ern people to a third tern), but an ominous coolness of the Northern Republicans toward the President. At present the relation between them is one of estrangement, but it may ri pen at the next session of Congress into an overt quarrel. *®-The Savannah News has a very sensible article on “house rents, ’’ which perhaps applies to other places as well as to Savannah. It declares that excessive rents for dwelling houses is injuring that city very sen sibly, and that the population is de creasing from that cause. One hun dred and eighty-five houses are vacant from this cause. High rents will ruin any place. AaT’Yellow fever has appeared in Pensacola, and some uneasiness be gins to be felt in the cities of Ala bama. Two men died from it s deadly effects in Pensacola last Satur day, and one new case appeared on Sunday. The Montgomery News nrge6 immediate preventative action by its municipal authorities. fifc&*Admiral Semtnes, who won a world-wide renown as the commander of the Confederate cruiser Alabama during the late war, is announced as a candidate for Congress in an Ala bama district. His disabilities were removed last winter. ASToJohn P. Cochran, the Demo cratic candidate for Governor of Del aware, is Master of a Grange in M d dletoa, and is one of the most exten sive r>eeb-"rowere in the State. WELL, WHAT NEXT ? We warned onr readers some weeks ago that the purpose of the Radical party to magnify Southern outrages was already being foreshadowed, wiih a view to the introduction of United States troops to control the coming elections. We urged upon our peopl* then the utmost circumspection o word aud deed, that no pretext miglo be afforded to justify our enemies in the use ol that power upon us. But unhappily the pretext has been fur nished in disturbances occurring in certain localities in Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana. It will be borne in mind in passing that all of those States, excepting Tennessee, are now and have been for years, completely under Radical dom ination, and even Tennessee lias but just escaped from that thraldom. Therefore, the party which holds and, for a length of time, has held the pow ers of government, is alone responsi ble for the condition of society under that government. But there is no evidence that any disturbances exist, which are beyond the control of the local authorities, to suppress them. The powers at Washington have not waited for that evidence. In fact in the face of the most conclusive evi dence that the State authorities are adequate to tho suppression ol these disturbances by their having been suppressed, tho government in ils zeal to make partizan capital, has proceeded to measures well calculated to arouse feelings of insecurity and alarm throughout the conn ry. Car pet-baggers have been flying to Wash ington, or burdening tho telegraph ‘•with wars and rumors of wars,” which have no existence except in their ly ing mouths. Williams, the immacu late Williams! has gone post-haste to Long Branch and after interviewing Grant returned with plenary powers to employ the army of the United States “to protect the whites against the blacks and the blacks against the I whites “or otherwise. ” The fact that this man was rejected by the Senate last year, when nominated by Grant to the office of Chief Justice, for steal ing public money, and appropriating it to his own use in the purchase of a carriage, doubtless carries his highest recommendation to lire Republican party, for the exercise of the tremen dous powers which have thus beta il legally delegated to him. Grant’s re cent associations (he had just return ed from a visit to the Rev. Calumnia tor Haven) had left him in a fitting frame of mind to perpetrate official deviltry. To have done this to per fection, it would have only been neces sary to have called into council H W. 8., Elizabeth TANARUS., Susan i>. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Victoria C. Woodhull, and a few others, who have been for so many years the leaders ol the “advanced” moral ideas, govorn- mg the Republican party. Tlmre is e\idently a lack of some of these lights in the consultation which took place at Long .Branch. Otherwise the lies would have been concocted wii h a little more attention to plausibility. As it is, there is just as much reason and stronger evidence lor the United States G ivernineut to send troops to Brooklyn to protect Moulton m ins civil rights, against the violence ot Plymouui Church, u, to solid them to Georgia to protect either whites against negroes, or ne groes against whites. There are ltifi o o nitely stronger reasons why troops should have been sent mouths ago io suppress the disturbances, murders aud child stealings in Pennsylvania, which have continued in defiance ot local and State authority to the terror ot whole coinmuuitties and the de privation of a large class of honest aud industrious citizens of tin ir civil rights, to labor and earn bread, than to send them now into either ot those Southern States, where transient dis turbances, fermented by Ranical ras cality and negro insolence have oe cunvd and been quickly it pressed by the law abiding elements ot the popu lation. But Plymouth Church is com posed of “the saints,” and Pennsylva nia is a Radical State and lienee the reasoning and the rule does not apply. Wo have written these words to again warn our people not to afford a pre text by word or deed for the interven tion of Radical fraud and farce in our domestic affairs. It is only necessary torus to be patient a little longer The day of the Radical party is past and these are but. its death stiuggles. It never was aught but a party of faction and hate It never composed a majority of the people *>t these United Slates. The majority of votes cast against Abraham Lincoln in the whole country was one million. The Northern people are them selves becoming weary of the arro gance and corruption which have marked its career. We only have to avoid every occurrence which will shock prejudices, too easily aroused against us, aud with a very small per centage of the vote of that secliou added to the Democratic vote of the past, we will sweep the field in the coming elections, and see con.-'erva tisrn, law aud order once more estab lished in the land AFFAIRS IN GEOR3IA- Several of onr Georgia dailies wiil not exchange with us; however, they always lake great pleasure in copying articles from our columns. Fiieinls, if you call this fairness, tiieu ke< p ii up. Hon. L. N. Trammell, President of the Georgia Senate, has been nomina ted for Congress from the 7th Dis ui t. Hon. A. H. Stephens is the nominee from tie Bill D.strict. It seems the people of the Bt.ii will not let “Little Aleck” retire to the shades of Liberty Hall. The Democratic candidates for Con gress lrom the differjnt districts in the State, are busily engaged in can vassing their respective counties. We are waiting patiently to hear tho elo jueut voice of our noble standard bearer—the Hon. Julian Hartridge. There seems to be a large number of independent candidates running for the Legislatuie in this Suite. May t very one get beat—and that badly— say we. Macon is going to have anew daily. Ditto S ivannub. Wo wish them suc cess. Sam Bard, tho Atlania postmaster, has removed a gentleman from the post office to make room £ >r liis-broth er. Great Hsavensf has Sam Bard got a brother? We thought lie was the only one of the Bar I family. The Marietta Journal is in favor of Hon. Wm. D. Anderson, of Cobb, for Governor. The press speaks in the highest terms of Mr. A derson, and we doubt nut he would make a good Governor. The Brunswick Appeal lias einered upon its seventh volume. From the Appeal we learn that the “City by the Sea” is looking up, aud there is a probability of the coming winter being a busy one. It is highly probable that Georgia will send nine Democrats to the next Congress. This Civil Rights business is what’s the matter witu Hannah. Jim Blue, the most ignorant and worthless negro in Georgia, has beeu nominated for the Legislature by the Radicals of Glynn county. Demo crats go to work uuu defeat the Hon. Jim Blue. „ _ Griffin is well supplied with persons who would like to go to the Legisla ture. The whole district ic pleased will) the nomination of the Hon. Julian Hartridge, for Congress A good aud true man has been nominated, and now the Democrats of the First D.s trict should go to work in and ad earn est and elect him by an overwhelming majority. Let. us show Julian II n tridge that wo love him and want to see him elected to Congress. Valdosta whipped out Brunswick in a base b ill match, the other day. The Brunswic k boys played under many and sad vantages and consequently, were beaten. They now proposech ,il nging the Valdosta boys for a game before long. Bob Toombs wants to be Governor. Georgia would be in a devil of a fix with Toombs for her Governor. The defeat of Hon, B. H. Hill in the Ninth Congressional D.strict, is gen ernl'y regret Ud. The pimple of the ninth district ought to have nominated Ben Hill for Congress—for no better man can 1 e found. The Marietta Journal says we have not seen our warmest days. Now we would like to know what the* Journal knows about it. The people all over the Slate are indignant because Grant has conclu ded to send troops South. Wouldn’t it be a good idea for the Democratic papers of Georgia to ct eft hi ir abuse of Grant ? When the President fa vors the S mth he is abused for it. Don’t abuse Gi ant and see if a change don’t take place. “Ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia, is living in poverty at St. Albans, New York. He did not get any of the money which was stolen from that St a t e.” —Frank Leslie's Illustrated. That will do to tell the marines, but the honest people of Georgia will never, never believe that Bullock is living in poverty and that he never stole auj* money from her.
