What the Democratic Party Want* Tho Democratic partv wants to reopen ike wounds from which the country naa l>ecn bleeding for Tears, and whish, un der the wise, jadiciooH and noblo admin istration of the government, in tho bands of President Grant, bavo been healing up readily. A permanent peace, a law- abiding, loyal, and prosperous people, i» exactly what the revolutionary schismatics of the*Democracy deprecate, and are at tempting to prevent by all means in their 1 tower. Tho Democratic party refuses to accept what has been done. It asserts that the Fourteenth Amendment has not been legally adopted. It declares that fraudu lent governments have been forced upon the Southern States by military power. If it luid a majority of Congress*it would overthrow all the great adjustments of the post few years, either by direct and retroactive National legislation, or by xtimulatiug outrages. It is a party into whoso hands no good citizen can safely entrust the welfare of the country.—True Georgian, 18/A. For the life of us we can’t see, how the writer ol the above, arrives at such con clusions, reasoning from a fair and hon est standpoint. Hud jtlie article been written by Dr. Hard we should have thought nothing of it, but knowing the gentleman, in charge of the True Geor gian at this time, and knowing him to be a fair and honest man, the ideas advanced puzzle ns. Hut let us look at it a “Tne Democratic party wants to open ” Ac. Is there any truth in this ? Is it. Nustoined by facts ? Let us • Thousands of onr very best n denied the elective franchise and the right to hold office, because of participation tho “ rebellion. ” Sonthern Democrats arc refused admission into the Congress of the United States, after proper clco tion, because of what thoy did in the war. Good, upright men ore turned out of the Legislature, and ignorant negroes put iheir place*, localise they adhered to tho South, their home, iu the dark lion her trial. Mure than five years alter the cessation of hostilities and surrender of •»ur armies tho State of Georgia is denied her national representation and kept under tho surveillanco of United States troops. Five years after “peace” has been declared whole counties placed under military rule, and peaceable and innocent citizens arc arrested at mid night and thrust into prison without war rant or accusation,' and l>old efforts are made to c> nsh the great writ of habeas ’•orjnts. When the people aro paying a last tribute to the remains of a great and good man they are insulted by a little custom-house officer, who is sustained by the Government. Hat why go farther? t olnmn after colnmn could be filled by what has been done—by whom? The t >emocratio party ? No, but by the par ty the True Georgian is lauding and sup porting—the Republican port}-. . Again : What has the Democratic par ty done? Nothing, save exert itself against theso wrongs and outrages, and f»>r that wo are charged with wanting to ** reojien the wounds, " and charged, too, by ono who served and fought well in the ( onfederato army, if we mistake not. •• The Democratic party refuses to ac- cepl” Ac. Is this sustained by facts? Have we not submitted to the overthrow of our c«w, the destruction of States’ rights, the oppression of our people, the demolition or conversion of our property snd an hundred other heavy burdens and deprivations that have been placed upon us? Let facts sjx ak, and give even tho devil his due. “ It ” (the Democratic party) “ asserts tliat tho Fourteenth Amendment lias not been legally adopted.'* In all candor and honesty, and aside from political prejudice, has it, or the XYth, been legal ly adopted, adopted us provided by the Constitution ? Answer if you can. Has the National Government h right to vuike a State under the Constitution 5 is not the National Government the crca- tnre created by the Htates ? Was the present State government created by the people of tho folate ? Was tho present State Constitution operative or binding, until it had l>een made a law by Congress? But we stop. Reason is useless to one who honestly believes the idea* declared in tlio almve paragraph. Peace. Candidate* and their nomination* Tfiero is ono. thing the people mast guard against in this campaign, and that is hare no divisions an<V discords—this mnst.be prevented, though we must con fess apprehend troublo in doing it— We know there arc a great many who desire office and wcknow there are but few offices to fill. Now, the question is, how shall we manage this ? Already, in ajl parts of the State—and Sumter county is not an exception—men are announcing themselves as independ ent candidates for this and that office. They are presuming a great deal and as suming much more. The time, proba bly, will never come when office will seek the man; the convene of this is alarm ingly true now. Bat is it right ? In times when the State is imperiled nud the interests of the people threatened, is it right, we ask, for every man to be cry ing out and running after office? Can we expect to defeat Radicalism so long as this state of things continue ? Is it safe for every man who can and will receive a few votes to run for office, and thus en danger his party ? Is tlu*ro anything or nothing involved in the approach ing con test ? Can we safely have half dozen candidates for each office ? These ore questions that should be calmlv and dispassionately considered and answered. AU questions o should be ignored. While we thus think and hold not consider it right nud proper to yield to the dictates of nominating conven tions. • They are always managed anti controlled by a few, and not unfrequent ly does it happe u that weak and incom petent men are pushed upon tho peopl by them. It is no difficult task for a {ex shrewd men to manipulate a nominating convention in such a way as to secure the nomination of themselves or their friends. And it is rarely tliat nominating conven tions give satisfaction. Consequently aro opposed to them, jurt as we are to ev ery man, who desires ufiice, presuming ho is popular and announcing himself a candidate. Then how are candidates to be gotten out There ia one way, nnd whcrevci it has been tried lias given satisfaction, and that is nominating by popular vote. Let a day be appointed and let the party be notified to come forward aud vote for their choice, the individual receiving the highest number of votes cast for each of fice to be the nominee. In this way the most popular mr»n will receive the nomi nation. This plan has given perfect sat isfaction, co fur as we know, wherever it has been adopted, and we hope the Dem ocratic party of Sumter will try it in this contest, and, after which,if there ore any who persist in running aud disregarding the nominations. let them bo promptly frowned down. It is worth a trial, and wo invite the opinion oi others upon it. Whan Will il Soil Wo print, elsewhere, a startling article, taken from the Atlanta Constitution, in re lation to the extraordinary conduct of Governor Bullock with State Bonds. If it be true it is but another link in the chain of evidence going to establish the corruption of tho present State Adminis tration. If, for a certainty, the Governor is thus tampering with the peoples*.money and recklessly squandering their bard earn ings, it is time the good men everywhere, irrespective of party, should rise up and demand, at the hands of the House of Representatives, the preferment of ar ticles of impeachment, and his trial, con viction and removal from office, by the Senate. To us wo can see uo politics in this matter; it is fur beyond and above the limits of political passion and preju dice. When an official thus dares act he puts himself in a position to evoke the adverse influence of all, regardless of party. The Republican tax payer baa much at stake as the Democratic tax-pay er. Both aro alike interested in the eco nomical and honest administration of government, and I »otb‘should alike Ik* in favor of preventing frand and dishonesty. Leaving the legal right of tho Governor out of the question, entirely, we ask, is it right he should be permitted to have issued State bunds to the amount of twelve hundred and fifty thousand dol lars and put them upon the market, with out even advising the financial custodian of the States’ funds of Lis action ? Ought he not, at least, have notified the Treasu rer and had a record of them made, by that officer? Would not even this have put the gentleman in abetter light ? But, wc close caanding, in the name of the people, of the tax-payers, that this matter be fully and mercilessly investigated, and, if found true, that the official lie put where he can not more rob the people of their hord- earnings nnd bankrupt the State. Let all unite in this demand and persist in it until the matter is properly disposed of, for it has not yet come to pass that mon ey is grown on trees in Georgia, or that officials may thus act with impnnity. To the Voters of Webster County- At tho meeting held on Thunder, af ter the second Monday in September last, I was appointed and empowered to call a meeting, at sonjo subsequent day, of the Democratic and Conservative voters of this county, for tho purpose of nomina ting a candidate for ihe lower branch of the Legislature. The same meeting also resolved that this nominating convention, to be called, should consist of delegates from each District in the C'oanty. At that time it was thought an election would be held in November, bnt recent legislation has postponed the election of members to Congress and Legislators,un til the 20th, 21st and 22d of December, when an election is to be held for the above os well as all county officers, ex cept Ordinaries. The Democratic Exec utive Committee have recommended that tho recent election laws be complied with, so far as holding the election in Decem ber, and, as many and important changes have taken place since onr meeting in September, and, after taking the advice of a good many, residing both in and out of tho coanty, I have thought proper to pursue a little different course than sug gested by our September meeting, and with that view, and in order to harmon ize all, irrespective of party, and run but a single ticket, I hereby request all the legal voters of Webster County, irres pective of color or party, to proceed to vote, at the Court House, in Preston, on Thursday, the 17th day of November, for candidates for Representative, Sheriff, Clerk Superior Court, Tax Collector,Tax Receiver, County Treasurer aud Coroner.

It is desired that every voter vote at this election for his choice for a candidate, for the various offices above mentioned, and those who receive tho highest num ber of votes shall be the nominee for the office for which he was voted for ; and it is desired that no other candidates be Let all abide the result of this nomina tion, and let us havo but a single ticket. Remember the day and let all, both white and black, nttend and vote. SAMPSON BELL.

But it is known that thi negroes in the vicinity of the small pre cincts passed them by and crowded to Edgefield Court House, Ridge Spring.

A THIEF STRIPPED AND ALMOST LICKED TO DEATH BY CQWS. TELEGEAPHIC [American Press Asaocifljtiou Dispatches. SQUALLY TUXES'LOOKED FOB IN NEW YORK For the-past weak’ our foreign seemed to indicate a cessation of hostili ties between Franco aud Prussia, nnd the probable establishment of Peace. It ap- jKars that England, after refusing to list en to the propositions of Jules Fnvru argument of Theirs, has suddenly stap led forward as a mediator and is to throw her influence in favor of peace, and to this end has made overtures to Prussia.— This sudden action, on tho part ol Eng land, is alitlle stranger, and we must cou- i'ess, with tho lights before w», to not un derstanding it, unless it lie done to satis fy tho demands of her own subjects. It will lie remembered the dispatches last week spoke of an immense meeting London and an immense throng proceed ing to tho houses of several of tho'minis try and making certoiu demands iu de cidedly unmistakable ones. Probably tlii* is the cam© of ln*r action in the mat ter. £>o fur us wc can i 6c, wo apprehend the days of Empires and Kingdoms are numbered. A great idea of Republican ism is seizing upon tho people every where, except in this country, and we fear tho present is but tho beginning oi a great revolution in Europe for the establish ment of Republics. Alas! that they have not our experience- But to return to tlio subject of peace. We sincerely hope the war between France and Prussia will none aro suffering from it, in this country, ' moro than our people. Its continuation ji depressing and keeping down the price of cotton. Should it cease, cotton wiB go up.' That is what wo want, and if we can get this ire care not what becomes of The Election. The Democ: atio Executive Committee, which met in Atlanta Inst Saturday, re solved, unanimously, that “it would be unwise and inexpedient ” to hold an elec tion on the 8th prox. Very well, wo are willing. Then, it is understood, we have an elec tion on tho 20th, 21st and 22d of Decem ber, and, as various officers arc to bo. elect- d, we think it advisable to begin to look abont nud prepare for action. A Senator, Representatives and county officers ere to bo elected, and good wen must be select ed for each office. Ah we have before iu- imated, wc can see no particular neceo-M- ty for two eeta o£ candidates, unless this forced upon us, by the colored people. Certainly all, both white and black, wish arious offices filled by efficient men and we think a ticket can be gotten np that will please everybody. The wrangling aud 31-feeling that will uttach to snd follow a close and worn contest is not desirable, and should, it possible, Ik- avoided. The interests of both rnee-s i re identified and identical. iuid » good, capable man for one in the same for tho other. No doubt strong ef forts will be made, by certain parties, with the blacks, to lmve them have nothing to do with the whites, in this contest, but to n outright Radical Ticket. Ail wc have to sav to this is: Notice those fel lows, colored men, and see if they doii’i want all the good, paying office* Wc venture they will waul the tollowiug of fices : Senator, at least one of the Rep resentatives, Sheriff, Tn>. Collector and Receiver, and Treasurer. They will In willing to give the colored men tho re maining offices* probably. Now, w make, this proposition, and we ask that tho sentiment of people ol both races bo famished us: Let a da> bo appointed for nominations and let eve rybody, irrespective of party, come for ward and vote for their choice as candi dates for the various offices and tho par ty receiving the highest cumber of votes, for tho cffico, be the nominee, not of the Democratic or Radical party, bnt the can didab• »f the j* opt.-. By this means wo will have but one ticket and ono set ol candidates. What do the people mj to this ? Let us hear. We w31 gladly pub lish short communications upon the sub ject. ' ing country? Wo possess all the that, section of tho State that Radi-1 culxam is the strongest and most to be 1 m ents and have all the advantages. The dreaded. Tho upper part of the State is j water power of our section is unsurpassed, their stronghold, but we apprehend the ; nnf ] w hat lias been and is being done in provisions of this Bill will forco their: the way of manufacturing demonstrates beyond all doubt that we can compete with Eastern manufactures. Jf this were abandonment of the party. Already s.ie unmistakable signs of this, in tlio fact that Gov. Brown, Judge Walker, Sam. Bard end many others are denouncing and turning their backs upon the infamy and usurpation of the Bnilock faction.—- If Middle and Upper Georgia will do their duty the “ black belt ” will nLso—we have never yet been found wanting. But there are some provisions of tliut election Bill, eo palpably iu violation of tho Constitution, that they cannot aud should not be obeyed nnd respected, and, mo future issue, we shall call atten- :o them and advise the people not to regard them. Let the question be made d the test of the Courts l»e applied. An Error. The Savannah JGj.uWican, iu speaking of the desire of tin Radical faction, at Atlanta, to prevent an election even in December, says: Should Commissions* refuse to serve, e should be glad to be informed how yon will go to work in punishing a citizen or refusing to accept an office. The Ak- rmvi bill, true, assumes to provide a emedy. u penalty, bat it is not worth the lank piper on which it is written. ’* In bis wc think the Editor of tho Republi ka wrong. We think tho Commission ers can b» £»>rc?»l to servo, and if they re fuse they can bo p.iuuued, as provided in the Bill. If Bro. Booed resided without the corporate limits of a city, and should :hance to be appointed a Road Commis sioner and should refuse to act. be would soon see how ono would " go to work in punishing a citizen for refusing to accept If there were no graver ob jections to the bill wo could tolerate it, X if all of its provisions vrer© as Round wonhl, indeed, dread it. Judge Dell’s Letter. Iu another column wc print a cal), from Judge Sampson Bell, for the people ol Webster eonnty to meet in Preston on the 11th of November and vote for can didates for tho various offices to bo filled by. election iu December. This is be coming a very popular way of nominat ing and, fo us seems a very satisfactory way. The old plan of conventions, com posed of delegates, is a humbug and swindle, and are in nine cases out often, so managed and manipulated that the choice of tho pooplo is defeated.

There is intense excitement A gentleman resiling in thb suburbs of Pittsburg, Pa., has an orchard of very choice frnit and ho was greatly annoyed by trespassers who would visit the orch-; ird at night, aud carry off large quantities of apples aud other fruit. One morning the president calls two men passing along tho road saw a man lying under a tree in the orchard md near the roadside. Ho was covered with blood and his clotliiug reduced to mere tatters. At first it was supposed that the man was dead, bat moans were beard, and tho men went over to ascer tain what was the matter. They foand the man almost exhausted and unable to move kimstlf. They procured water, tud, after giving the injured man a drink, he recovered sufficiently to tell them his name and place of residence. Ho de clined first to tell them how he came in the condition he w^s found, but was finally per shaded to give an explanation. He told them he hud visited the orchard for the purpose of obtaining some apples, and had climbed np a tree to prevent detec tion. While engaged in picking tho frrtit he suddenly missed his foothold and fell to the ground. Ho was rendered un conscious, bnt did not know how long lie remained s i. When he recovered his consciousness he felt no pain, but on at tempting to rise found tliut oue arm and one leg were paralyzed. He did not call for issitauce, for four that ho would be ar rested, ami concluded that he would re main uutil morning. He soon felt a irowsy sensation, and would have fallen nsh ep but fora nois3 which aroused him, and ou looking up saw two cows near by. rbeunim:d-4 advancing toward him, and one of them commenced licking his face aud hands. Uo tried to drive them away but they had tested the brackish perspira tion which covered liis bauds and face,and he found itimpossibil© to frighten them. His tormentors persisted in lick ng him, and fiually commenced tearing his coat and flannel shirt, thus enlarging the ex posed surface. This process was contin ued until his body was almost denuded, aud the flesh lacerated liy tho teeth of the animals. The licking with the rasp- iike tongues was couUuned until the blood oozed from his arms, brest ami face, and the unfortunate Victim sank away from mcro exhaustion, after uBing every exertion in his power to keep tho animals away. The men were convinced that the statement was true, and it was corrobor ated by tho appearauco of the man.— They immediately conveyed him to his home, and a physiean was summoned to attend to him.
