FOB CONGRESS FIRST DISTRICT: Hon, Julian Hartridge, OF SAVANNAH. THE ELECTION IN GEORGIA The great State of Georgia has, in the late election, repudiated radical ism and nil it? attendant evils by such an overwhelming majority that noth ing can be said so string as simply to present the figures. Oat of more than two hundred Sen ators and Representatives, the Radical party will have a pusillanimous mi nority of from ten to fifteen members in the Legislature. The eyes of the colored people in, almost every county in the State have beeu opened and they have gone back upon “the un clean thing' and the scoundrels who have beeu swindling and fooling them for the last six years. Wo are sorry that wc cannot yet say lids of Mc- Intosh comity, but we f. el satisfied that if the colored people of this county could appreciate how poor a figure they cut in the person ot the man whom they have * looted to rep resent them, they would hide their heads in shame. It is not the intelli gent part of the colored element of the county to whom the above re mark will apply; they saw and resist ed'the impending disgrace which has beeu brougLt upon the county by the blind infatuation of their ignorant brethreu in favor of T. G. Campbell. They must only resist the harder in the approaching .electioj, in order to redeem old Mclntosh and give her a proud position alongside her sister counties. When Thomas anil Deca tur and Houston give overwhelming Deccratic majorities, it is about time for Mclntosh to quit clinging to the rotten skiit of Radical.sin. As it is, in the last election wo doubled the highest Democratic vote which has been polled in the county since 1801, and reduced the Radical majority from hundreds to sixty. Good Advice. —Tlie Montgomery Advertiser says; “If any creature ap proaches you with the leinurk that the Democratic anil Conservative par ty is striving to get up another war, tell him in plain terms that, he liis, that he is a wilful and malicious liar, and that he knows he is lying. That is the only way to meet accusations which have no shadow of foundation in fact.” If some of the walking slan der mills that inf* st our peaceful Southern communities were thus con fronted, they would come to the con clusion after a while that deliberate lying was too dangerous a game to be freely indulged in. 4 Thiiid Term. —The New York Ifrrald of Tuesday, publishes a list of IU pre sentatives and Senators io Congress, with their opinions on the third term question. Iu the Senate there are 24 in favor of a third terra, 29 against, and 21 neutral, or trimmers. In the House there are 78 for the .bird term, 119 against, ami 105 trimmers The Herald places the trimmers on the side of the third t rm party, thus ma king a majority of 16 in the Senate and G 6 in the House in tavoe ol Gen. Grant’s re-election. Benevolent. —Gazaway li. Lamar, who died recently in New York, be queated SIOO,OOO for the erection, at Savannah, of a home for aged, and in firm negroes. That is just one hund red thousand dollars more than Clou-. Sumner left for the benefit of his col ored friend-*. A ScNBEAM. —The Nt-W Yol k Hela and significantly says: There will be a fair hearing for L uisiana when Con gress me* fcs. The public opinion of the North is too earnest on this sub ject to permit any more ii justice to people of this an l other suffering Southern Commonwealths. There is a more potent influence at work than Kellogg’s check book. The Rhode Islam! papers aie ulways saying mean things about the warrior-statesmen of Massachusetts. Thus the Providence Press says: “If GeD. Banks should fail of a nomina tion in Massachusetts lie must try Virginia. He formerly ran well in that State.” AFFAIRS IN GEORGIA I Dr. Samuel li rd, of Atlanta, has lost his brother, who died in New York recently. He was an nncompro misiug D< moci'at. So is the Dr. hall of the time. A Griffi i paper thinks Georgia will send nine Democrats to Congress. We don’t, think anything about it— we know it. From what we crin learn from the Sfa'e papers, we would judge that old Georgia had gone democratic. Now we suspected such a resnT long I before the election, and of course we were not surpi is< and. The Georg ia Stale Fair which com mences at Atlanta on Monday next, promises to lie the grandest exhibi tion ever he! I in Georgia. So mole t be. Mr. If. I. Kimbal’, tlie much abused Kimball, is going to remove his family to Atlanta and permanently reside there. We are always g!a Ito hear of Northerners corning to Georgia to live. Welcome to Mr. Kimball. Dr. Felton and Colouol Trammell are still running for Congress in the 7th District. They are both Demo crats and are making a ■_ ood figbt. A colored man tried to rob a white j lady in Savannah a few days since. It was an unsuccessful .it tempt, however. I Stepluns, hid, Gordon, Toombs, Hardeman, and other distinguished j speakers, are now stumping the State for the Democratic candidates. Decatur, Brooks and Thomas com;- J tics went Democratic at the recent ] election- being the first time since j the war. A negro in Dooly county killed another because he was stealing* Ins , hogs. That was v, ry unwrotigly. Columbus has built a steamboat to run on the Chattahoochee river, capa ble of carrying five hundred bales of cotton. The court house at Way Cross was burned a few days ago, with all the papers of the Clerk and Ordinary. An inhuman woman in Savannah strippe 1 liet - step-son, three years old took him in the yard and made a col ired woman strap him until the blood trickled down on the ground, and then placing linn* under the hy drant, turned the full force of ihe \vat< r upon him. Postmaster Johnston and attaches entered upon duty at the new post in Columbus, Sunday morning last. The office which is the handsomest one Columbus over had, is nearly on the exact spot where the old post of fice was burned down some fifteen years ago. The office fixtures were made at Stamford, Connecticut, and are of the latest, pattern in use in the postal service. Very handsome. Hou. B. 11. Hill, in a race t speech, said : “If there is a white man who had any doubts heretofore, he can have noi c now. Every man ought to join the Democracy. I have said I did not go to be a Democrat; I still say it. I don’t think I was wrong when I was a whig. I don’t think I was wrong when I was an American; but I am compelled now to be a Demo crat, because I cannot preserve the county and be a Radical. There* are only two parties, and, ns I cannot be a Radical, I must he a Democ rat.” Alabama Ores. Alabama is in a state of excitement about, her ores. Clay county is especially wrought up, and the local paper is enthusiastic in view o its prospective wealth. The minerals *4' the county are really very rich and must ultimately bring a rail road and its attendant prosperity into the “com’y iu the bills.” One of the citizens claims to have found a copper mine, and the specimens which he has shown me very rich in metal. Success to Clay county. The St. Louis Republican is responsible for the story that a widow in Western Missouri, daughter of a former noted railroad officer, repairs to the tomb of her husband every evening at sunset, enters the vault and seats herself in a chair formerly used by the departed, when she re mains an hour, and she lias done this with scarcely an intermission for two years since her husband’s death. A little girl at Long Branch, having been kissed by General Grant, remarked to her mother immediate ly afterwards: “I don’t like that man ro kiss me. He smell just like Uncle Frank when he goes to the closet and drinks something oui fa bottle.” OUR BRUNSWICK LETTER. GLYNN RADICAL MASS MEETING. [Regular Corrnfpondei.ee of Tun Darif.n Gazette.] Brunswick, Ga., Oct. 12, 1874. Editor Gazelle: “Such ia the moral of all human tales, ’TU hut the name rehearsal of the past; First freedom, and then glory—when that full* Wi-alth. vice, corruption, barbarism at last, And history with all her columns vast, Huih but one page.” Monday la-.t it was announced that J the “honorable" Jno. E. Bryant would on that day, at twelve o’clock, address the Republican parly. At the hour appointed the faithful were called to gether by the meaningless beating of a drum and soon the speaker, Jno. T. Collins, the Custom House officer and nine negroes, took their places on the stud. Brvant, parrot-like, repeater his address, here and there, embellish ing it with denunciations against the Democratic party. He said much about the “Civil Rights Bill" and sta te.! that if the “Democratic leaders, were to be believed the Republican j party is seeking, by 'oreing upon the country this ‘measure of iniquity’ to compel white men, against their will, to admit colored men to their parlors, to ullcfw them to sit at their tables, to permit them to associate with their wives aiid daughters with the utmost familiarity, and indeed, to marry their daughters against their will.” The] above assertion which is false, I dir uol think has ever been entertained by any except the ignorant and vis ionary ons of Bryant’s own party; for every Democrat knows that he is lord of his own household, and that Racicalism cannot compel them respect, receive or entertain their vile “white trash,” much less the poor, deluded negro. Again, he states “of course the leaders know that the Civil Rights bill does not provide for mixed association anywhere.” What brazen face 1 impudence. Louisiana, Florida, and South Carolina are standing ref utations of this unblushing falsehood. He tells of the wild ravings of the Democratic leaders, and of ignorant colored men listening to them. Now, Mr. Editor, in slang parlance, ‘ this is too thin.” I have visited the lunatic asylums of seveial Slides and there, have not witnessed such maniac ra vings, such genuflections and wild gesticulations. Iu the distant Wt-sp I have attended the povv-wowsof sev eral tribes of Indians; have witnessed the death dance of the Zanbre amt the holy dance ot the Congo negroes of Louisiana and the Carolinas; have attended tlie “religion getting” meet ings of New England —but all sink into nothingness compared with the performance on Monday 1.-. st. In liis address he staged that “the difference between the Republican and D-iuo eratic partiis was this: the D- mocrat ic party proposes anything tog. t into power and practices what it phases; ttie Republican party propo es what it ; beltves to be right, ami } ract.ees what it preaches. The R. publican part* has never been the. advocje of social I equality. Does tne distingue iirv ant j think tic can pull the wool over our jeyea? The first assertion, as a.l ovv. iis false; and the second I am couth | dent is true, at h ast s . far as practices | a hut it preaches ia coma rm and. D ! pod and Louisiana once the pride of the. South, and S u li Caioli a toe gallanj Palmetto State, are fair speeime s < tj the fiuits of Radicalism; tin qua.id | skeletons of two ot the most prosper-! ous States m the Union w all t t. is! left. Even Spam, with all her afflic tions' finds a w> id of symputl y l-.i ! them. Those two provuiei utter .•> few years os R.dicai reign present to! the world such spectacles 1 want and woe, anil u* ier prostiation as has nev er been known since the worm mgui. The common ..eulths of Louisiana and South Carolina to-day prostrated, and pleediug, are ’.he. legitimate victims of the precepts preached and practiced by the sclf-poluied Radical party. Aga,m , he stat. s that, ‘ J am told that sonic Democratic lenders actually live with colored women, to whom they lmve ! never been married, and raised fami lies of colored children. I am told that some of them h .ve actually se ! duceil virtuous colore i gills and rais | eit children by t hem. That the dif I ference between the Republicans an*! the Democrats was, that they do not ask for the familiarity which they ! [the Democrats] practice with tne j colored women. Keep your men from our women and we will keep ours from yours. You never catch me ; running ’round such places, nor louugii’g around bar-rooms. No, I like to go where good peopl* go,” was a portion of the harangue oJ this low down carpet-bagger. I trust the rea der will pardon my stoop ; ng to notice tiis vulgarisms and lor inquiring into the morals of that self-.ighteous par ty. Asa ge. tlemau remarked to me a few days ago “we must tight the Devil with his weapons,” ami iu the prtsent case I claim the right of re moving the whitewash from their se pulcheis. Even were I to admit [which I do not] the statements he has made, I can prove that his party is a hundred fold mote vile. Neither do I state what 1 have been told, but what I know to bo facts. Let the reader recall the dark days when New Orleans was filled with the Northern invaders, when the officers, Beast Butler and others, ordering the wo meu and childen [for their was com paratively no men] to leave theii Houses, took possession of them am his troops and many of the officers ived in open adultery with negressei and Northern harlots, thus defilin', ilie homes of the conquered people Furthermore, the Beast issm and bis proclamation prohibiting the churches from observing a day of fasting am prayer, ami his infamous ordir No 20 against the ladies of New Orleans saying that they “should all be looked upon as women of ttio town.” He even suppressed the newspapers that refused to publish it. In later years when the penniless curpet-baggei Warmouth became Governor lie liven with another man’s wife. The abovi is known to the world and I have uevei known their vile acts to be de nounced by the “New England Fa unties” who so constantly boast ot their superior refinement and culture. The labor qimstiou on which Mr. Bryant “harped'’ was almost unintel ligible and totally unworthy of even a passing notice. “The Republican party proposes to establish schools lot the education of ail the children in the States. Before the war it was a penal offence to instruct a colored person, and it is evident tho Demo cratic leaders of Georgia, at least do uot intend to establish free schools for colored children it they < an possi bly avoid it. The Republican party advocates free schools lor the eleva tion of the laboring man, and inter nal improvements fur the benefit of all classes.” So says Bryant, and 1 presume he thinks wo are green enough to believe him. Let us amin , n* D visit the land where Republicanism is fostered and protected by Fed nil bayonets. In the city of Charleston many of the finest schools Lave been appropriated by the Radicals for the exclusive use of the negroes. Ami only last winter the question was agi tated, whether they should have mix ed schools or not. Tne board, if 1 ri memht r rightly, is compos; <l, with 0.. e exception, of radicals and negroes. I have lit* hesitation in saving that il they dared they would urce mixed seno.us. Again they propo. ed ma king the C tailei, once tin- Military Institute of 8 (J , now used as a bar lack f.r Federal troops, u militaiy school for negroes. The University at Orangeburg several years ago was given up to their use with the distinct mid. rstaiding that the University ot 8. 0., at Columbia, snould be used by tue wli.tes exclusively. Only last year an ae. *vas passed admitting lit tiroes ns students. Many ot the teachers and medical facu.ty resigned. The ag. and President who for mole ihan thirty years had resided in the campus grounds, became ill from a cr.-si\e ui’ief ami win-n life was almost extinct was ordered to move from the mansion which lie had occupied for so many years. B ackgiiards ami Northern skum were install.-d in tin places once occupit-d by the cultiva ted pr -lessors. White students that had etiiohed their names for tlm en | suing year withdrew', and the nails \v e t in Wt-re i duca ed Calhoun, Mc- Duffie, Hay he, L.tZree, Low u tes and ot er or America's most distinguish es stairs.lien ale now occupied l.y ne- -ioe-. Though the whiles pay some .-..\iy lnou.v tio dollars annually lor tile suppot: o i the University they it - nve no bench l l. float ii; and ih*u>: a ies U.au one IjUUilu-iI black stmlelns m alienda. ee. The University av Orangeburg has hm !*-w siu.iems also. It was with Iceuugs of lmiis unhabie saoness that 1 wandered iblougb tin halls, cnapel. iloimitu rn s all i oilier rooms of the gland oid buildings. The long Uegle ted an< dismantled observatory, tne mildewed nails; the *.everted dwellings of the prmusbois, t ;.e neglected campus con taining 24 ..ci es, Bumuinu. u bv a mouldering wall—ali tell a lale in si lent, niouiiiiul eloquence ol the mis rule and uec-iy ol a once gieat am: grand University,—worth many hun dred thousand dollars; the pride and g ory of one of the most, highly civil ized provinces in the Uni e l States. And that Charlairn, Bryant, has the aiviueity to publicly proclaim that his parly does nut favor mixed schools. i J o..r down-tro leu South Carolina is a standing refutation of his notorious falsehood. Let ns now visit saintly New England. Then.* we arc told “the people have always In en free” and yet we find thousands, yes, hundreds of thousands, who can neither read nor write and were it not for their superior mental endowments they would be little or no mure intelligent than the negroes. The poor class ol whites are compelled to put their children to work as soon as oid enough, and though “free,” as they term it, they are not half as wall pro vided for nor cured for when sick as the staves in the South in former days. They are slaves bound with chaius a hundred fold more galling than that of the blacks ot the South in former days. Work from dawn till dark; aye, til) midnight for a beg taiu life, and when old aye or sickness overtakes them they at once become objects of charity. The gaaut spec tre “want” stares them in tLe face, and driven to desperation crime in some form is generally the sequel. According to their ow n statistics pai> <ai']y pitlaim Unit nil! ac re- it *u - purism prevails among tliij t- tii extent of 44 fitly' 10,000 mm. bit nuts; wb le in the South it is tun 111 to every 10,000 inhabitants. Tin criminal statistics tell the same tale; ilespite the right discipline there prae riced, 11 criminals to every 10,000 iu mibitai ts is tin ir woeful tvpuil. Ilan -hey give.i t-i.e villains now let 100. • .ii the South, their, just tb serfs, tin atio would have been much grtaf.tr. The criminal sta.isiics in tin; S uti . lemoralized as she is, including biaci iucl white, is but Bto 10,000. Again it may not he am ss to slate 11 at in South there is one church for eveiy 518 inhabitants, including black and •vhite, while in li.t- North one f. r every 043. The aiiMi: statements, which I quote from good authority, ell .veil for religion, morality and nbs-. nee ol pauperism arc the best basis of a community.” Out of the many millions that ti e Freedmen’s Bureau chums to have used in behalf of the blacks, they can show but little fruit. Doubtless, if ail v,us • mule kuown it would be like That humbug, tbo Fi'iedmen’s Sin nigs Bank. “I am proud to s iy that 1 tun a <>eor ghirt.
