Philadelphia Times: It was Gen. Joe

fought against Johnston, and know what

Ex-Senator Alcorn, of Mississippi, writes
Concerning tho negro exodus he does not
enconrago it. He asserts that the negro
is well treatod in every respect but in re
gard to political rights, and says in a very’
sarcastic fashion: "Ballot-box stuffing in
this stato, while equally effective, is more
humane than tho bull-dozing, shot-gun
policy of tho past. In this I take pleasure
In recording an improvement.” Tho ex
odus ho attributes directly to the doctrines
of political agitators acting on the Freed
man’s "volatile, impulsive and emotional
nature.”
The Washington correspondent of the
Providence (Rhode Island) Journal, Sen
ator Anthony’s paper, says "informa
tion from a prominent member of Gen.
Grant’s party abroad, that he lias stated
in the most positive terms that he will
not enter into a contest for the nomina
tion, and that active work for the place on
the part of prominent candidates would
proclude him from allowing his name to
be used. This confirms the opinion that
some of GranM most intimate friends here
have expressed, an<i for this reason the
sudden announcement of Secretary Sher
man s candidacy continues to disturb th m
greatly. The subject is one of universal
conversation. ”
SENATOR HAMPTON’S SPEECH.
Hon. Wade Hampton, Senator form
South Carolina, madp a splendid speech
in tho Senate a few days since. Tho Sen
ate had under discussion the appropriation
bills and Governor nampton addressc-d
the Senate on tho general political issue
of tho session. Tho Governor said that he
could not claim ho speak as n loader of his
party nor would he try to sheild himself
from the consequences of his actions, be
hind any party. If tho policy supported
ly j,j m wan revolutionary and treasonable,
he was a revolutionist and a traitor. But.
what policy is before Congress worthy of
such a ehargo? "By no vote of mine will
the appropriations necessary for the effi
cient maintenance of the army ho refused.
It is competent for Congress to declare un
der what limitations and conditions the
appropriations shall bo made. Tho form
in which this is done I regard immaterial.
In my judgement it would havo been best
to adhere to tho general form, but to ec
curo unanimity I shall aecpiiosco in the
decisions of tho majority. But, in no event
can I consent to aid in disbanding the
arms or imparing its efficiency. It is the
anuy of the South as\vell as of the North.
It is tho army of tlio wholo country. In
its history from tho days of tho Revolution
I havo somo reason by right of my birth
and blood to bo proud. In the lato civil
contest, on many a bloody field I tested
its valor and no word or act of mine shall
dopreciato its valuo or lessen its usefulness.
But because I so regard it, no act of mine
shall tend to degrado it. I will not so leg
islate that against its own honorable in
stincts and traditions, it shall bo tho in
strument of tyranny in the hands of any
factious party or any unscrupulous Execu
tive who may desire it. Nor shall I assist,
because of any diffcrenco of opinion be
tween tho minority and majority, to close
tho courts of justice or embarrass tho life
of tho Government. Tho Constitution has
provided means by which an appeal to tho
country can bo had, and it is for tho peo
plo to deeido wliothor tho Presidential veto
has been wisely used to defeat tho will of
Congress which represents the majority of
tho peoplo. Hampton proceeded to Bay
ho had no intention to embarrass tho Ad
ministration, and although ho considered
tho provisions of the tho bills just, ho ro
cognizod tho different position in which
tho Executive found himself. Mr. Hamp
ton’s peoplo remembered that in a critical
period of their history, when any injudi
cious action would havo been fatal, tho
President, by a conscientious construction
of his duty, removed tho United States
troops from Louisiana and South Carolina,
thus enabling tho pooplo to restore thoir
local governments to those who repre
sented tho popular will. For this wise and
patriotic action ho was grateful, and while
it would bo his duty to oppose the policy
of which the President was a representative,
that opposition would not bo captious nor
such as to drive the President into coali
tion with those who would madly trample
on the rights of tho people in their strug
gle to retain powor. Mr. Hampton said
his party was denounced for wishing to
restrict tho Federal use of troops, but men
high in tho Republican party, whose
words ho quoted, had also pointed out
and denounced tho dangers and abuses of
such use. It was not the immediate action
of tho army that ho feared, but tho ulti
mate effect of its misuse, and ho would
oppose any legislation giving tho general
Government tho power to interfere in any
way with elections. Better have turbu
lence in one or two great cities than mili
tary dispotism in tho whole country. It
has boon complained that Confederate
officers woro sent hero as legislators.
Nearly every man in the South bore arms,
and she could hardly bo blamed for trust
ing hor interests in peace to those who
risked their lives and fortunes for her in
war. Ho thought if the North had honored
in like manner, thoso who fought her bat
tles, tho legislature of the country would
not bo embittered by a revival of sectional
strifes. If tho North was sineero in invit
ing tho Southern States to return to the
Union, she should be glad they sent their
best and most honorable men to represent
them. The South had no apology to make
for tho past, and to recall that past now is
not in tho interest of that harmony for
which tho whole country longs. The
South asks to havo stricken from the
statute books those laws which aro tho
product of distrust as much as were the
armies and navies. If you asked ns to
come back as States, treat us as States; join
hands with us to establish National liberty
as understood by our fathers.” Senator
Hampton's address aroused frequent ap
plause in the galleries.
The Bridgeport Farmer warns tho stal
warts of New England that sectionalism,
a Republican principle of action,is a direct
menace to Now England industries. It is,
says the Farmer, a war that, whether ad
vantageous to the Republican party or not,
will ro-act disastrously upon the New Eng
land manufactures that now seek and find
Southern markets or that aro to seek in
tho future. Tho time between now and
March, 1881, is more than sufficient to
alienate the Southern markets from New
England manufacturers. The occasiUßally
asserted belief that the South will not re
sent Northern sectionalism in the very ef
fective but peaeful way of bestowing its
custom elsewhere, is founded upon hopo
rather than fact. Human nature is no
where c.qual to tho test of filling ones ene
my’s purse. Sectionalism, if successful
next year, will inflict great and irreparable
'damage upon tho material interests of this
section of tho country.
Hon. Moses W. Field, of Michigan, has
sent a dispatch to Gen. Ewing congratu
lating him on his nomination for Gov
ernor of Ohio, and offering to stump Ohio
' for him. Mr. Field will be remembered
! as the Michigan Congressman whom S. S.
' Cox always designate and as “the gentleman
i with the elegant toHPt.” He is an ardent
I greonbacker and the head of that organ
i ization in his State.
Air. Sam W. Small of Atlanta, and Maj.
W. T. Tompson of Savannah, have been
appointed by tho Governor, dc-logates to
tho National Convention of tho United
States Board of Trade, which meets in
New York on the 18th instant The ob
ject of tho meeting is to make preparations
foT the worl l’s fair, in 1883, it is intended
if possible to havo Georgia fully repre
sented, and to corret as far as possible the
omission made at tho centennial exhibi
tion. Tho Governor was requested to ap
point two citizens from the Stato as del
egates, and it will bo seen that hia ap
pointment is a good ono.
In another column of The Gazette will
be found tho advertisement of the Balti
more Sun, published by Messrs. A. S.
Abell & Cos. The Snn is unquestionably one
of tho ablest Democratic papers published
iu tho United States. Tho Washington
specials to that paper are decidedly the
best that are sent from that city and they
can bo relied upon as being correct in
every instanco. The daily Sun is only six
dollars per annum, although it is worth
double that amount. Tho subscription
price of tho weekly is only ono dollar and
a half per annum.

A dramatic episode of the Russian war in
central Asia happened on the 16th of
ApriL The Turcomans dashed down on
tho guard of tha Russian arm}-, driving it
back and capturing a lot of camels. With
these they fled, but were pursued and
overtaken by a body of fresh troop3. Un
able to escape, they formed a lino on a
steel) kill side, mado tho camels kneel
down, and behind this living rampart
fought till nightfall, when they disap
peared, leaving a dozen of their comrades
and forty of tho faithful camels dead on
the field.
Capt. Joe Yeomans, the Democratic can
didate for Lieutenant-Governor of lowa,
served in an Ohio cavalry regiment during
tho late disagreeablenoss, received wounds
in battlo from which ho is still suffering,
and assisted in tho capturo of Jefferson
Davis. Yet ho is denounced by tho stal
warts of tho Hawkeys State as little better
than a Confederate brigadier, because ho
dares to vote according to his own political
convictions and accepts tho honors of the
party in which he believes.
It is nil nonsenso now for some of the
newspapors to abuse Congressmen Felton
and Speer, for these gentlemen are just as
truo os any Democrats in Congress. They
ran on the Independent schedule and
were elected, but that is no reason why
they will not make good and true Demo
cratic representatives. We doubt if thero
aro any bettor Democrats in Congress than
Messrs. Felton and Speer. They are both
Georgians and are ns truo as steeL
Ohio is going Domoeratio this fall, and
don’t you forget it, Ewing and ltice are go
ing to bo elected by 20,(X)0 majority over
the Radical candidates, Foster and Iliek
edflipperlropor. The nominations of Ew
ing and Ilico by tho Democratic party
gives genoral satisfaction and it is said
that a stronger or abler ticket could not
havo been put in tho field. Hurrah for
Ewing and Rico and tho Democracy of

From what wo can leam wo would
judgo that tho Hon. M. L. Mershon will
have hue very little opposition before tho
Legislature in his race for tho judgeship
of the Brunswick Circuit. So far Judgo
Mershon ha3 made a most excellent judge
and the people of tho circuit aro delighted
with him. Let the Legislature elect him
by a largo majority.
Wo really think that Mrs. Kate Southern
should be pardoned out of tho peniten
tiary. She has been there just long enough.
If Rato Southern had been a man she never
would havo been convicted. Wo hopo tho
Governor will look carefully into this mat
ter and decide before long to pardon her
out. She has been punished quite long
enough and should now be set free.
William Fitt Kellogg, the so-called Sen
ator from Louisiana, will remain in the
Senate but a littlo while longer. Judge
Spofford, tho real Senator from Louisiana,
has already proven that Kellogg bought
his seat out-right. Kellogg is the last of
tho carpet-bagger Senators. By-bye, Wil
liam Fitt Kellogg.
Congressman Nicholls, of the First Geor

We hopo our Congressman will push it

We notico that several newspapers in

By the way, isn’t it about time for Ben

Mr. Yocum, the Greenback-Republican

it. Hence, remarks the Philadelphia Bul
letin (rep.), "the result is that while his
betrayal of his friends has disgusted them,
it has also excited the contempt of the
Democrats, and so nobody will care a
