Georgia is once more redeemed from
Radical rule, “Richard is himself,
again." SacQcalbas is so dead in tibia
State, that the hand of the reserection
will never reach it. “ The colored
troops fought nobly," but they could
not make the connection. Their
masters the carpet baggers in many
places, were not here to .lie ana steal
for them, they were left like sheep
without <t shepherd, they did their best
but it'availed nothing.
The Radicals are routed, horse foot
and dragoon and we suppose this will
be their last attempt to secure lost
ground. We dont know how things
were arranged in other counties, but
in this tiw Democrats were thoroughly
organized,-and nothing but that ogani-

graces of a negro representations. Let
us not grow weary in well doing.

The Macon Fight.—A fight
occurred at the polk iu Macon to-day,
negroes to take forcible possession of
the polls, a device whice they have
successfully practiced here on the last
three elections.
. Very early in the morning they
massed at the City Hall and marched
down to the polla at the court-house
in a column, under the command pf
their captains and lieutenants and
sergeants, and there found a sraaller
croNvd, principally whites, and com
menced crowding them aqd forcing
them a way from the polls. A few
fist-cuffs occurred in the dense mass,
and then a discharge of brick-bats
came from the negroes, followed by
an order ftotu their leader, Jeff, Long,
to fire upon the whites.
Iu the course of a few seconds
about fifty pistol suhte were, discharged
front both sides, by which one white
man was killed, and some five or six
negroes wounded—two of whom are
since dead.

When Mr. Greeley was nominated
for the Presidency by the Cincinnati
Convention very tiiany people were
apprehensive that a grav'd mistake hAc\
Wen committed. They knew that hb
was a great journalist, but feared, ho
Yvds \Vdnting id sUrtie of the requisites
of a stafesnidh. The report had gone
abroad, and was credited to a certain
extent by some of his friends; that,,
titongh a man of. undoubted aftSty,.
his conduct was likely to be governed
too much by impulse aud too little by
prudence audepber judgment. Nearly
five months hsve passed since that time,
and the friends and opponpnts of Mr.
Greeley have alike seen cause to iriodi-
fy their opinion of him. No unpre
judiced man now doubts .tbat-ho is a
statesman, arid that, too,' of fho first
order. His Liberal'’arid Democratic
supporters hhve leafried thhTttifey cab
repose in him the most implicit confi
dence,’and his Radical opppaetits have
found to them chargin that beerimmits
no mistakes. >>-■- • • -
Mr. Greeley’s letter accepting the
nomination of the Cincinnati Conven
tion was the first of his caniped|n mas
terpieces.. He said in it just’what he
ought to have said; omitting nothing,
and writing not a line or syllable too
much. After a while he waif, again
nominated by the Democratic party in
their National Convention at Balti
more, and to that nomination he also
replied in a letter in which nothing
was omited and to which nothing
bould be added. By this time such as
mistrusted Mr. Greeley’s prudence and
statesmanship had had their minds
disabused. They saw that they had
greatly underestimated him, and ap
preciated the fact tljat. ho was pot on
ly a great editor but a great statesman.
■Since the publication of these letters
the Lil>eral candidate for the Presiden
cy has furnished still stronger .proofs
of his discretion and stateagren^hip.
It is a dangerous thing for a Presiden
tial candidate to make political speech
es, for it is almost impossible t? steer
between the Charybdis that .threatens
to wreck him on the one hand npfl the
Sy’.la which is ready to Bwallow him
up on the other.. Mr. Greeley,,jut the
course of his visit to different. parts of
the country, has found himself .under
the necessity of making a good many
speeches, and in not one of them has
he committed a mistake or been guilty
of an imprudence. Every ope of
these short speeches, called out by the
people of the different parts of the
country through which he has traveled,
is a master-piece. In everyj. ope of
them he has said just what he ha^said,
nothing more, nothing less. No,t oue
of them but has made votes ..for -the
Liberal cause.
The objections entertained by,pome,
to campaign speech-making by a Presi
dential candidate can not apply to' Mr.
Greeley. His - brief bat Hibst effective
speeches are drawn from him by th e
crowds of people assembled to do him
honor in the towns and cities through
which he passes on his tour : through
the country. Having resigned the
editorial charge of the New Yoik IW:
bune because of his nomination/ Mr.
Greeley can not brook inactivity. 1 ' He
has all hb life been a hard worker,-and
now that he is constrained by circum
stances of delicacy to abdicate the Tri
bune tripod, he must have employ
ment of some kind. The little Ch'ap-
paqua form takes up some nf his time
and r ttention, and he seeks to eife out
the rest by attending some of the ex
positions aud fairs to which he 1 'has
been- invited. Hb journey ttf arid
from these places’ are made By the
people one continuous ovation. ,!
-Wc are more than gra^jfi^dLtlpM
these speeches have been brought out by
the people. They prove not only that
Mr. Greeley is a patriot, but a states
man. They prove to everybody "that
he can safely be intrusted with tho
Presidential office. They, prove the
wisdom and integrity of the man.
There is not another man in America
who could acquit himself so> well tinder
the circumstances. There is not an
other man in America who, similarly
situated, could talk to the people so
often and with such uniform wisdorit.
The burden of all Horacb Gree-
ley’s speeches b reconciliation and
peace. He never forgets that. He
never forgets to impress it upon, his
audiences that all the sections o£tbe
Union ore equal, and to insbt on the
abrogation of everthirig like proscrip
tion. He argues that the civil wrir
braving terminated more than seven
years ago the Southern people aire en
titled to recognition as citizens,;!with
every right of citizenship. '
There is a grandness in the speeches
of Mr. Greeley that must elicit the
admiration even of his enemies., In
every one of them he pleads th'e cause
of nationality and fraternity. -Every
one of them shows that hb great heart
'b yearning for the perfect reconcilia
tion of the sections. Every one of
them b a fervid protest against the
proscription of any American; citizen
in any American State. When this
grand old man declares that lie would
not be a candidate, if that candidacy
would affect the rights of any citizen;
we are morally certain he speaks the
truth. Hb campaign utterances are
the eloquence of patriotism. The peo
ple who Ibten to hb speeches appreci
ate that it b so, and wherever the voice
of Horace Greeley is heard con
verts are made to the Liberal cause.

31. About anOiecdom in Germany,
t)ile of the most bxciting tttpits of
dbcourse in Fnibcc just now is tho
recent arrest of M. Edmund AbouT.
He had gone to the deeded ^tovinces,
Alsace and Lorraine, in order to make
a personal survey of the ground
fought over By the contending armies
aadj^port^npon ^he conditi9p v 'gf tl^
population of the ceded districts and
their feelings toward their new mas
ters. It b said that the publication of
somriVtides from bis pen tending to
foster disaffection among the people of
the lately incorporated provinces was
the proximate cause which led to hb
arrest A courtmartial jvas threatened,
but the German authorities, after an
examination, decided that hb release
was the most advisable action in tho
premises. This is perhaps a fair speci
men of the political freedom enjoyed
in reconstructed Germany. In England,
or the United States,. any writer, na
tive or foreign, might laud orabu.se
their institutions to hb heart's content
without let or hindrance from the civil
authorities. They would, no more
think of arresting a bluff Englishman,
an enthusiastic Gerritan or mercurial
Frenchman for expressing hb opinion
in the most trenchant and uncompli
mentary terms about the people among
whom he happened to sojourn or their
institutions than they would Of sending
him to the moon. Arrest in such a
case would be simply impossible. No
wonder Germans wbh to escape by
hundreds and thousands from the bles
sings of German unification when even
a distinguished foreigner, under the
protection of liis own Government,
can be arrested for a publication
written in Alsace but publbhed in
Paris. Think of a warrant issuing
from the United States authorities at
Washingtou for the arrest of Charles
Dickkens for the hard things he said
about us in “ Martin Chuzzlewit” or
“ American Notes.”
Edmund About is one of the
the first of living French writers.
Both hb works of fiction and hb
dramatic compositions have taken
higl nirik in contemporary literature.
He wa3 born in 1828, educated at the
Lycee Charlemagne and afterwards at
the Ecolc Normale. About 1825 he
received the appointment to the Frecnh
school established at Athens for the
cultivation of the History and Arch-
seology of Greece. While there he
wrote aud publbhed “ L’lle d’Egine,”
and on hb return) “ Greece Contem-
poraine.” Both of these, and especially
the latter, attained great popularity
and contributed largely to the forma
tion of European public opinion on
the affairs of Greece. His first novel,
“ Tolla,” appeared iu 1855, in the
“ Revue des Deux Mondes,” a work
of high artbtic merit, butunfortuuately
open to the charge of plagiarism from
an Italian novel, “ Villoria Savorelli,”
which tvas publbhed in 1841.' His
/comedy of “ Guillery,” which he
brought upon the stage shortly after,
was a complete failure in consequence
of the ill opinion entertained for him
by the Parisians, but hb next work,
published os aseriafin the “Moni
tor," and entitled ‘* Les Marriages- de
Paris,” more than compensated by its
success for the previous failure. This
was followed by “ Le Roi des Monta-
gnes Germaine” and others, which still
further established hb reputation. Hb
well-known pamphlet “ La Question
Romaine,” which urged tho abolition
of the-temporal power of the Pope and
exposed the abuses and corruptions of
the government of the Holy See, was
supposed to reflect the views of the
Emperor respecting the Italian ques
tion, and was in consequence widely
read. In 1860 he publbhed two poli
tical pamphlets, “ The New Map of
Europe” and “Prussia iu 1860.”
“Les Coquins of the Agents ofChange,
in 1861, besides new editions of former
works, kept M. About continually
before the public, and increased hb
already extensive reputation. ' But
the most considerable of oil hb works
was one entitled “ Le Progress,”
whieh appeared in 1863-4. In thishe
discussed freely the condition of French
society, both iri its political and social
aspect, exposing with a masterly hand
its defects and suggesting their rem
edy. He urged a reform of the land-
tenure laws, the distribution of inhab
itants in proper proportion be
tween town and eountry, freedom of
the press and religious and municipal
freedom." Then 1 followed in rapid
succession “ La Vesilfe Roche,” “Le
Turco,” il L’lnfame,” " Les Marriages
de Province,” and lastly, in 1868, L’
A. B. C. du Tiavailleur,” a hand
book of political economy. In 1866
he was commissioned by'the Emperor
to draV up a report of the slate of pub
lic opinibn in France^ the publication
of which excited much, partisan com
ment. ' In 186& he became connected
with the “ Gaulob,”$s one of its load
ing contributors, and on the outbreak
of the Frarice-Prussian war accom
panied the French army to the field,
whence he sent many articles' to the
“Soil*’, which attracted much aftea-
tton.
He was married in 1864toMdIIe,
de guileeRvelle, a lady of culture
and of good family. He had, in' 1858,
received promotion into the Legion of
Honor. Since the dose of the war he
has written little. He is, of course, an
ardent Imperialbt, and imnerialbm
just now is at a dbcount. We can
not but regret, in tlie interests of civ
ilization, the peety malignity of a
great empire, which thinks it neces
sary for its safetjr to persecute so dts-
tingubhed a foreigner as M. Aaout
by arrest and imprisonment. In many
teingsthe Germans abroad, with all
their .culture, have not yet learned the
alphabet of freedom.
