fairness with which the trial of the negro
.conspirators has been, conducted. It shows
that in that State, even at a time of great>
public excitement, justice can be fully
and fairly meted out, though the prisoner
in the dock be a negro charged with con
epiring for the death of white citizens.

TUNIS G. CAMPBELL AND THE BUF
FALO EXPRESS.
We take the following from tlie
Savannah Advertiser of a recent
date, which w ill clearly show that
the Northern press is using old
Campbell as a political tool, to keep
up an ill feeling between the two
sections, North and South. The |
Advertiser says:
The quality of mercy is not strain- j
ed, as giving the lie to the black
hearted slanderers of such journals
as the Buffalo Express, and its hyp
ocritical endorser, the Washington 1
Chronicle.
The action of the grand jury, now
in session at Sandersville, Ga., in
relation to the negro insurrection
ists is emphatic. They came into
court on Wednesday morning and
presented an appeal to Judge John
son, w h ois presiding at the trial of
these misguided creatures, asking
the discharge from custody of thir
ty of the prisoners, and they w 7 ere
set at liberty by order of the So
licitor General, under the sanction
of the court.
And yet that arch old scoundrel,
Tunis G. Campbell, whom the
Chronicle dignifies as “Judge Camp
bell,” who is now suffering the pen
alty of his many crimes, writes to
the editor of the Buffalo Express as
follows:
“I have not the least doubt but
there are now over tw T o hundred
leaders of the colored people in the
State’s prison, or at work as State’s
prisoners this day in Georgia, and
our Heavenly Father only knows
the hundreds that have been killed
in cold blood in their houses and in
the woods. And, be it known to
you, in some counties of this State
the people to-day dare not say they
are free, for any white man can
have a colored man or woman whip
ped if he desires. This I know my
self.”
Tho Express adds:
“Judge Campbell regards the late
reported negro insurrection in Geor
gia as a part a of a general move
ment to imprison, banish from the
Stato, or kill all the leaders and ad
visers of the negroes, and reduce
the mass of them to helpless subjec
tion to white Democracy.”
The mendacity of both of those
journals becomes apparrent when
they know', that tho trial and con
viction of Campbell .was had af
ter laborious and impartial investi
gation into the nature and extent
of his crime, an have been attested
over and often by their own people,
and endorsed by the lawabiding
portions of the country everywhere.
Just such incendiaries as the edi
tors of the Express and the Chroni
cle have placed Campbell where he
is, and are responsible legally and
morally before God and man for all
the legitimate consequences that
follow their damnable teachings.
Winding up his argument of the
Stato of Georgia, tho Chronicle
says:
“This is the case made against
Georgia, by Judge Campbell and
the Buffalo Express. We neither
affirm nor deny tho truth—we only
call public attention to it, to afford
our Southern friends, to whom we
have referred above, the opportuni
ty to do one of two things—either
to deny what is alleged, if is false,
or to justify it, if true. As we have
uo wish, either to do the people of
Georgia an injustice, or to preju
dice the case, we refrain from com
ment until we hear from them.”
The hypocrisy of the Chroni
cle comes to the surface. “South
ern friends,” forsooth! Yet we deny
what is alleged as false, as false as
hell, as false as Forney himself.
In addition to the above from the
Advertiser, we find the following in
the Macon Telegraph, under the
caption of “The Darien Gorrilla on
Affairs in Gergia:” “The Buffalo
(N. Y.) Express being one of the
meanest, most cowardly and malig
nant journals in the pay of the Rad
cal party, is naturally the favorite
cesspool for all the diabolical lies
that can be invented against the
people of the South. Its latest and
most cherished correspondent is old
Tunis G. Campbell, of Darien, w r ho
is now, or was a short time since, in
jail at Savannah, for serious offen
ses against the laws of the-State.”
In speaking of the quotations
given by the Advertiaer, the Tele
graph adds: “We find all this miser
able stuff reproduced in the Wash
ington Chronicle, which pretends to
■want information on the subject.
We can furnish it in a few words. It
is a lie from beginning to end, in ■
whole and in part, in general and
in detail, in warp, woof and filling, i
But the Chronicle will never let its
readers know the truth. That would 1
‘hurt the party’”
SENATOR GORDON.
A telegram from Holly Springs,
Mississippi, of August 30th says:
“Intelligence reached this place
this morning that Senator Gordon
of Georgia would pass here this af
ternon on his way to meet his eii
gagement at Oxford, Miss., when
he and L. Q. C. Lamar are an
nounced to address the people of
that place next Wednesday. It was
at once determined to give him a
becoming reception, and at the
same time invite him to speak at
this place before he left the State.
Quite a number of our citizens, ac
companied by the tine band of our
town, boarded the street cars and
made for the depot to meet the
south-bound train. Gen. W. S.
Featherston was accorded the hon
or of making the welcome speech.
The train was air hour late, but the
people waited patiently its arri
val.
The reception committee stepped
aboard and found Senator Gordon
in the smoking car. He was evi
dently unconcious of his being the
object of so much attraction, music
and parade. Very soon however,
he came forth amid the shouts of
citizens and the playing of the band.
This was Gordon, the battle-scar
red soldier statesman of Georgia,
greeting the people who had so of
ten in days gone by welcomed Jef
ferson Davis and scattered flowers
in his way.
General Featherston, in his elo
quent and appropriate manner, ad
dressed Senator Gordon, and ex
pressed the joy and pride the people
of Mississippi felt in extending a
warm and hearty welcome to Geor
gia’s honored and faithful Senator.
He then invited hifn in the name of
the people of Marshall county to
address them before he left the
State.
Gen. Gordon responded in an
easy, graceful and charming speech
of ten minutes. It was full of elo
quence and patriotism, worthy of
the occasion and the orator. It
was drank like good wine by the
audience, who sent up cheer after
cheer.
When the Senator had concluded
then came the handshaking, and
noticeable here was the coming for
ward of Captain Cliff, of the United
States Army, stationed at this point,
and his being indroduced, Gen.
Gordon expressed his pleasure and
gratification at meeting an officer of
the old army, and said other pleas
ant co articles to him.
Senator Gordon has no plans be
yond his speech at Oxford. He in
formed your correspondent that he
would address the people of Mar
shall county at an early day.
THE DAVLULECTUEE INVITA
TIONS
Additional replies from Mr. Jef
ferson Davis to societies which have
invited him to deliver addresses,
are published. To the Agricultural
Society of Bartholomew county, In
diana, which had advised him of
opposition to his comifig, though
unanimously resolving that they
would stand by their inviration, he
writes :
“I thank you for the courtesy
and consideration thus manifested,
but cannot agree that your regard
for what is due to me should sub
ject yourselves or your association
to any risk of censure or 'injury. I
not the less, but rather the more,
careful to avoid such a consequence
because of the magnanimity ex
pressed in the fact that over two
tliirds of the officers in your associ
ation are of the political party most
opposed to myself. It is gratifying
to me to know that the Union sol
diers of your section do not partici
pate in whatever opposition exists
to my coming among you, and I
will add that, for public considera
tions, it is to be regretted that any
class in the country should be less
liberal than they.”
Subsequently Mr. Davis wrote:
“As you and I have the same object
in view, the harmonious co-opera
tion of the sectioins, for the public
good, you will see such abundant
caution before reaching a conclu
sion. I therefore submit to you the
inquiry whether there is any room
to doubt my being accorded an or
derly and courteous reception ? If
there lie, in view of the great harms
which any outrage would do, and
the little good which, under the
most favorable circumstances,l could
hope to effect, you will admit that
it is better for all concerned that
you should accept my declination
as final. If, on the other hand,
there is no such doubt, and the
good results you have heretofore
contemplated are to be expected,
please notify me by telegraph of
your action.
&sg“Governor Leslie recently ap
pointed as aid-de-camp on his staff
a thirteen years old; and later
he added to his stall' a son, aged six
months, of Geo. T. Dull", the Assis

THE REVIVALIST, MOODY, AS A
SLANDERER.
This notorious person seems to
have spared time from his labors in
England to tell a few falsehoods.
The Rev. T. O. Summers, Jr., Pro
fessor of Anatomy and Histology
in Vanderbilt University, is now in
London, and heard Moody preach
before that person left for America.
Of one of his sermons Dr. Summers
writes as follows to the Nashville
Christian Advocate:
“The illustrations of Mr. Moody
are very vivid, and his imagination
often deceives into the promulgation
of conceptions for realties. For ex
ample, he said that he had often
seen the poor negro, with bloody
feet, running for his life to get un
der the union-jack of A ictoria in < a
Canada, while his master with dogs
was close at his heels, to take him
back far into the South, where all
his hope would be lost —and O how
the negro would run for his free
dom! Now Mr. Moody never saw
that in his life,'and it is just this
that gives our Southern people such
a reputation in Europe.”
The editor of the Advocate has
this comment to make on ihe
above:
“Our English exchanges report
the address of Air. Moody, alluded
to in our London correspondence,
but prudently suppress the state
ment of Air. Moody that he had of
ten seen the slave pursued by the
slave-hunter, and his dogs to the
borders of Canada—the editors
knew that he drew on his imagina
tion, or some other inventive facul
ty, for that fact. Fanaticism nat
urally leads to falsehood. We are
not sufficiently skilled in casuitry
to reconcile such palpable fabrica
tions with a conscience void of of
fense toward God and man.
ILLEGALVOTING.
Judge Pottle of Georgia recently
presided at the trial of a negro on a
charge of illegal voting. The pris
oner’s counsel admitted that he was
under age, but claimed that he had
been assured by his mother that he
had attained his majority, that he
had no other knowledge of his age,
and that being thus honestly mista
ken, he ought not to be convicted.
Judge Pottle charged the Jury that
the prisoner should have exhausted
all the means in his own power in
the endeavor to ascertain his age,
and that if lie failed to do this,
“and voted under twenty-one years
he ought to be found guilty, even if
his mother did inform him that he
was of age.” The Judge has been
violently assailed for these instru -
tions to the jury, and is accused of
unfairness and prejudice, but ho
says that any other rule “would
open a wide door for frauds on the
ballot.”
Judge Pottle is clearly right.
While the predicament of an eman
cipated slave who cannot rely iu'de
termining his age upon the assur
ances of his own mother is not to
be envied, yet if there a"e other
means at his command for ascer
taining the truth, lie should be com
pelled to resort to them. Fraud
and corruption at the elections have
already occasioned too much injury
at the South not to bo repressed at
all hazards, from whatever quarter
they may come.— N. Y. Sun.

His Apology.—A Tenth Warder
rather under the influence of liquor
approached an acquaintance the
other day and remarked:
“See here, Bill, they say you call
ed me a sheep-thief.”
“Yes, I did.”
“Well, you’ve got to apologize or
I’ll lick you!”
“I’ll be happy to apologize. I
called you a sheep thief—but I mis
poke myself—l meant to say that
you had been in jail for stealing a
I horse!”
“That’s manly,,’ said the Tenth
Warder, “Less take a drink. I
knew you didn’t think I’d pick up
anything smaller’n a horse.”
Clinton, Miss., dispatch of
the 7th says about 40 negroes hav e
been killed and many wounded.
The whites hold possession of the
town, and the negroes have scatter
ed in all directions. The leaders
are said to be in Jackson. The
Governor has called on Gen.
George, Chairman of the Democrat
ic Executive Committee, to assist
in restoring order.
