ANNUAL SI B&URIPTIQN >_> 50 DARIEN, GEORGIA, :— SATURDAY MORYIYU, SEPT. ‘2olh, 1874 FOR CONGRESS- FIRST DISTRICT: Hon, Julian Hartridge, OF SAVANNAH. FOR THE LEGISLATURE CAPTAIN A. S. DARN WELL. UNFORTUNATE LOUISIANA. Over two years ago an election oc curred in Louisiana in which the en tire Democratic and Conservative tick et. for State and comity officers was elected by an overwhelming majority. By fraud and force the Radical nomi nee for Governor, Kellogg, obtained possession of the office. A drunk*, n radical judge (Durell) rendered, a de cision which even radicals pronounce infamous, sustaining him in the posi tion, Ulyses 8. Grant, President of the United States, with a full knowledge of the facts, allowed his wounden aurom prinsee, because the State had given a large majority for Greeley, to get the better of any sense of decency or justice which he may have posses sed, and lent the strength of the army and navy to strengthen flic iniqni tous decision. The consequence was that Governor McEnery and ihe just ly elected legislature of Louisiana, were driven from office, and Kellogg, together with a set of insolent scoun drels and outlaws (many of them par doned felons), were enthroned in ab solute power over the down trodden and outraged people of Louisiana. A greater infamy has not marked the action of any government, professing even to be semi-civilized, in the pres ent decade. The unhappy Lou.-ian ians until recently have borne their trials with exemplary patience, suffer ing under evils winch can scarcely be imagined, but which must be felt to be understood, they waited quietly for the assemblage of Congress and laid their grievances before that body. A committee of the U. S. Sen ate sustained the representation of the citizens of Louisiana as to the illegal ity of the Kellogg government ami the horrible exactions and plunder ings to which it was subjecting the people of the State. With this leport before them the angust, impartial and patriotic Congress adjourned without taking a single step to remove or mit igate the enormity which had been perpetrated by the joint action of Kellogg, Durell, and Grant, because forsooth it would not do to find the President and a member of the Fed eral Judiciary guilty of an inconsisten cy. Time wears on and the plunder ed’and exasperated people of Louisi ana, have lost hope in everything ex cept the chances of overturning tho usurpation of the State government in the approaching election. But as this hope begins to brighten with the nearing of tho hour of deliverance, it is suddenly extinguished, bv the pas sage of a law, which placed in the hands of Kellogg and his co-conspir ators the absolute control and dispo. sal of the result of the electiou. To fortify himself in carrying out this programme, Kellogg began the arming and organizing of his black Republican cohorts, seized arms shipped to citizens of the Conserva tive party, and finally, to add insult to injury, refused to receive a communi cation from | a mass meeting of the people of New Orleans, peaceably as sembled for the purp6se of demand ing his abdication. Then the long pent up fury of the citizens buret forth, and in a few hours, the streets of New Orleans resounded to the clash of arms, and the wretched paro dy upon a gota'nment was swept out of existence, no light think ing man can blame the people for this outburst, still it was most unfortunate that it should have occurred. Unfor tunate, because it was a foregone con clusion that the power of the United States would be forthwith brought to bear, to manacle the people, all the more securely, in order that their tyrants might work their worst upon theta; uufoitunate, because taken in -connection with other disturbances in the South, magnified and disrorted by Ridical deviltry, it Las rendered the electiou of a Democratic House < f R pr< s ntatvis almost an-nup*ssi bilitv. The people of Lousiaua : boald ei Lx r have exeic.sed patience for a little while longer, or, having once determined on the course which j was taken, they should have pursued [ it until Kellogg and every other metn bi r of his nefarious gang were beyond the reach of Grant, or any other art lily power, to reinstate. As the matter now stands, although the usur lation of Kellogg was a great and con inuoiis wrong—although the people submitted patiently, until every hope if deliverance or redress bv pacific neans, li.d been obliterated al liough such misgovcrnnifnt and op irossion had characterized the ad ministration of the Kellogg rule, as would have justified revolution against legally constituted authority— although the action of the people only went to the extent of re-establishing the legal government nndcr McEnery, which was acquiesced in throughout the State, find to the insurance of se curity to the lives, liberties and pn p erty of all classes of citizens, the executive power of the United States does not hesitate to step in, and by the restoration of thieves and robbers to authority, seal the ruin of a people and a State. But patience, people of the South ! “Time sets all things right.” T. n, or even- twenty years, is not too long in tile life of a great people like ours to wait for the day of deliverance This will coine, either by a returning sense of justice to tho Northern mind, or by their apprehensions, aroused by internal dissensions in the dominant section of tho so-called union, or by foreign war. Even if the future brings no other redri ss, there belongs to us finally the consolations of de spair. In the very nature of things, if the South must eventually sink into lasting degradation and ruin, the North must go with it. The North ern people havo made tho bond, al though they may succeed in making it a bond of hate at least indissoluble between the sections. If Radical policy continues unchecked we may yet live to hear them exclaim, “who will deliver us from the body of this death.” THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR THE LEGISLATURE. I On Saturday, the 19th of Septem-j her, the largest and most enthusiastic ; meeting ot the Democratic parly, j which Mclntosh county has wit nessed since 18(10, assembled at t lie j court house and nominated, by accla mation, Capt. A. S. Barnwell, as then candidate fur Representative in the; lower house of the General As.- e.nblv, at tho ensuing election. It is un necessary for us to say anything of I the personal qualifications of Captain Barnwell, for the position, in this community, where he is so we 1 known. But wo cannot but congrat ulate outrselvcs and the. conservative citizens of Mclntosh county, that a gentleman of such urbanity, high in telligence, and lofty determination of character should tie their representa tive in the coming election, and, we trust also in tire House of Represent- j ativ es. lie is one of those rare char- ! acters, who will not learn the mean ing of tho word fail. Thu indomita ble energy, with which be lias con quered success in the almost hopeless task of cultivating lice with demor alized labor, aud the wonderful execu tive ability, which ho displays, in the management of the great private in terests, which he has created, are t lie best guarantees of what the people may expect fryiu him in a public ca pacity. This ability to meet aud overcome difficulties is only equaled by a modesty which will not be over pleased with o ir praise;, and wo will promise, that if he will un'y come out of that inconvenient q mlity for one entering political life, we will not say any more fl ittering things of him until after the election. Now let onr people do their duty by the candidate of tlu-ir choice L< t every man on the day of election, vote lii hi self and see that all his neighbors vote the right ticket. One word more to our colored fellow-citizen's. Capt. Barn well is no politician, in tn©"ordinary sense of the word. He runs on no issue, so far as you are concerned, but one of friendship and good will. Many of yon know him personally, and know him as a friend. A man who spends tens of thousands of dollars in this community annually as he does, for labor, and treats Ins employees with justice, as he does, must be the friend of the laboring man. Vote for him and you will vote on the side of your interests. mag* General Bob Toombs, who agreed to drink all the blood to be shed iu the cause of secession made a speech in Madison recently, during which he denounced everything and every body, corporate and individual, from tne general government down to the municipal government ot Allan a, and rom Uiyses Grant away down to Dick Wlnteley. OUR BRUNSWICK LtTTER. [Ht-pularCorrßspondi-i.ee of Tu Darien Gazette.] Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 213, 117,4. Editor Gazette: On Monday last the Democracy ot Glynn county convened in McConu’s Had to decide by ballot which of the several candidates for the Legislature should be “the coming man.” On the third ballot Col M. L. Mer shon was nominated as the candidate f the Democracy for the lower house of the General Assembly. Great enthusiasm was manifested during the ent ire day. < If at the polls on the day of *ec tion the people, i. e., the tax-paying people work as energetically and unanimously, their is scarcely a doubt but that the candidate ot the democ racy will be elected. And, it is to be hoped that no one will be so nar row-minded as to let personal feeling, in an event like tho prestmf, keep them from voting. It is a duty they owe the State, amf Mr. Tisou remark ed, “Jet us all now work for his elec tion.” The Democracy can, if they will, defeat the “black and tan” Rad ical party of Glynn county. If there are any who intend to withhold their votes simply because the man of theii choice was not nominated, they are unworthy of the party they pretend to support, for if one of the other candidates had received the majority of volts, the friends of the one nomi nated might have, with the same pro priety, withdrawn their support. Reader, do you intend to fold your hauls and do nothing? Will you sit an idle spectator, and see the Country again represented in tho legislative halls by an ignorant negro ? If there still flickers a spark of love for our South land, for ttie Empire State, exert it now, in her behalf. In every way that is honorable, use your influence. Be plain, be candid, be outspoken in regard to her welfare. Have the courage to openly discountenance the ignorant ami low, who would repre sent us, and those vile, uupriueipl and uiamiuinon seekers, those brazen faced devote* s ut his Satanic majesty, unhesitatingly denounce tiieim But by no means, stoop to their level; In so doing you ih base the noble’and dignified p .siti a of the patriotic peo ple of the South and of the Democ racy. Let nil desperandam. be our mot to, for the time will surely come win n we shall be free from the contamina tion of the carpet-bagger, ami when we fi'nill la; la-pi o olite i m t;.G legisla tive halls by our own people only those whose interests arc ind. nthi-m with ours.

When I was yout age I could read as well as I can now. ‘‘Aw, but you’d a different teacher to what we’ve gut.” [Written for The Darien Gazette.] A PEEP AT AUTHORS. • “Here we are,” (Job 38, 35) notwithstand ing the wise man has thus admonished his son “of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness to the flesh.” We don’t daim any kin mith this wonderful, man, neither do we propose to write a book. We are very willing to leave bookmaking to the great publishing houses of Hartford, i and wo pray that the day may speedily come ; when everybody ahull have nothing more to j do with books than buying and reading | them; not before may w expect the milieu- i niuin. We lately spent two months in the house | of one of the rising stars of the West. We ate at the same table; attended the same church; drank from the same spring, and together we frequently conversed and played. Birch Arnold's papers of “Stone Walls” are very readable, being true to the life, and we hope to see them in book form ere long, as we think them worth preserving. Let me here say by way of explanation, that I al ways use the word author without regard to sex. In bookmaking I ignore sex as much as Paul did the art of marying. Birch Ar nold is young, but her poetry and prose writings are well known throughout the West, and growing in fuvo ’ daily. She is destined to become a brilliant star in the literary world; but like all great writers she is not pretty, nor always agreeable. She has a full rasy face, heavy lips, light hair, bad health; eats, plays, entertains and writes by tits; rises late, sings and dances, but never dusts her room. She never tires of children or recreation, but like Jeffrey, Scotland’s finished scholar and great- states man, she plays by the hour on the parlor floor with the children, und cuts such figures as would make a dog laugh had the proper muscles to give expression to his feelings. I have seen many of the distinguished writers of to-day in this country, and a few from across tlie ocean, but happily, lam personally acquainted with not more than eleven. In a quiet village in a distant state, I know a writer who is read from ocean to ocean, and even across the sea, with con tinual delight. I know him well but never have seen him write, nor never expect to, for he would drop his pen instantly and go into literary convulsions if any one was to behold him pen in hand. His study is on the river side, un der a huge old tree, and there by the glare of the moon, he sits and puffs his cigar, lie rides leisurely in a high carriage (up above the lest of the world in thought) feet over the dash; talks but little, heais all that is saie, and asks questions just to draw out. He is a moral smoker and a modern philoso pher combined in one man. It he would leave off smoking ke might see and be seen more clearly. Smoking makes clmnly's* c ing and thick thinking, says Josh, and so M ay I. This fellow never eats fish ! What do you think of that, Mr. Brian feeder t 1 know a lady who does eat fish and write poetry that is read all around the world, and yet she never was from home overnicht. Her blue eyes look smilingly down upon the ugliest'face 1 ever saw, and yet it is lovely U/those lam.liar with it. sshe has a poeti cal robe mad ■ of white and blue, and never touches a pen in any other, nor before mid night, and then only under great nervous pressure, when she writes with great rapidi tv tor an hour or two. and then follows a Week of prostration. This la yis very fond of sleigh-riding and turtle s> up, but me she quite abuors, and babies sue never , 1- lows to c me near her. I have a young triend in II u vard College, writes jioetiy, and being call, and on tor some thing good, ne produced in a few hours, •The Forest Ca rnival,” of about eighty hues ■ll length, and it appeared in the Harvard A'ccx-me, but lie was .stupid fur several days ait. iwaii!.- He is now tv studeut unknown to fume, but we shall-hear from liita when lie cornea out a man. In this age oi progress and human dis eovtri s some pet theory ol the o.den school is dashed to pieces almost daily, and to-day more and more good thinkers are becoming good livers, i’liih sophers have found out that mental labor is the severest kind, and that tuo brain cannot long be sup pos'd in tv healthy stale without feeding it according to the laws of hygiene, and the demands made upon it. “Light diet tor students,” i believe originated with board big schools, Newton to the contrary notwith standing. Hoarding house soup may an swer lor those who deal ii turn matter— iiumor -though airs. Grundy ate her beef steak and wieided her pen w.tn epual ease and relish. Mr. Mark Train, I relieve, is fond of good living. 1 judge Irom his writing and a peep at his liev house. 1 would not leave Lie impression with the r. ade-r iliat I ever saw lntu with a leg of mutton under his aim or in his rnoiuh. No ! lor that would he wicked. I know a genius who has made the history and culture of tobacco a speciality, and he writes as gracefully with a cigar in his> mouth as a poet would with -a wreath of roses on ms t.row and a diomoud pin clasped in a sit. iu. neckcloth. He is now writing a book for the American Publishing Company, oj Hartford, widen will rouse the world to ••revenge the balmy plant” iu January, 1875. He is a funny fellow and well deserves a good cigar. 1 have known him eveiy day in the year. In travels by land and travels by sea, and even with mules, I’ve tested him. 1 once saw Idm set a house on lire with wonder and astonishment m Savannah, and tnis was how he did it : He held a pneumatic tuny ink der topsy-turvy while he woiked it so vigorously that the fluid could not escape, though the stopper was out—oui-witted of coi.r ,e. 1 know an author who smokes, snuffs, and masticates the weed as helps to produce deep thoughts, but I would rather suuft to sneeze, a.s I should be more certain of the result It a were to criticise this author, I should say he was a smoky writer. i know one great and beautiful sermonizer who uses freely the Indian weed. Shall I sav he’d be a better man by far if he did not smoke. Too many sermomsers deal too much in smoke, I fear. I know an author who cannot sleep any where hut on the third floor, but this I do not give as characteiistic of writers, for I have known many noble exceptions. It would not be just to apply the same criticism to authors that we do to their v orks, which is this : “The best part of them is generally found in the (pre)face.” The cases are by no means rare, in which a favorite author is perused with the same relish after we have made his personal ac quaintance as before. Newspapers are well read, while books of fnore than a hundred pages, are laid on the shelf to ornament the room and lend it an air of intelligence. As a class writers work hard for nothing; are ugly, eccentric, lean, noble-hearted, gener ous, and abound in love to everybody; but not always. There is a beautiful air of ro mance that floats around every great author’s home and life, which would be as difficult as it would be sacriligious to describe. Authors are generally fond of modest and quiet homes, and Cafe hut little for society, beyond their favorites. With them 'he love of study is an eternal passion, and to make books to the best, ad vantage, they must be undisturbed. I like authors but they don’t like me. There is only one nositiou in which I dislike writers, and that is in bed with me. They are the most uneasy, disagreable, sleepy-wide-awake bed fellows t ever took in; always getting up to look at the solar system, comets, etc., and to jot down some new thought or book title.. Then they are always talking in their sleep, ami if you don’t answer them they will get mad and do it themselves. Then they have :t way of winding the bed-cloth< S around them ol a cold night, which leaves you out in the cold, and angry i.4 that. I’ve seen them wind both sheets around their neck and enjoy it. I’de like to write more about authors, but I’ve no author(ity) for doing so. Lightning. ©nlinancts.
