The South.
The South has seen her worst and dark
est days in the drama of Reconstruction.
The States arc getting once more to be
sovereign, and the calls for Federal aid by
carpet bag Governors, cease longer to be
promptly responded to by even Grant.
The South is on her feet once more—and
by the gods she will never bo prostrate
again. Mark it.
The Maine Election.
Jerusalem! Even Maine has nearly
or quite gone Democratic. The late elec
tion shows gains for Democracy every
where in the State. Even Portland, a
hot bed of Radicalism has wheeled into
our liHC with a rousing majority. Verily
the great tidal wave of last November is
still rolling on. Thank the Lord.
Troubles With the Negroes.
All through the South, just at this time,
there are signs of trouble between the
races, and in some instances bloody out
breaks and massacres have resuited. The
latest was at Clinton, Mississipippi, a re
port of which will be found in The Dem
ocrat, where several whites and many
negroes were killed.
These affairs have been instigated no
“*99411 Wi
ing trouble between the races in order
to influence the coming elections in
favor of the Radical part}’.
The State Fair-
There is to be a State Fair, so we see
announced—by a few papera in the State.
It is evident that the managers of the ex
hibition do not care to have the people of
our section attend, or they would adver
tise the place,day,and date,in The Bain-
bridge Democrat. Whet Hon. W. A.
•Huff, the indefatigable Mayor of Macon,
Tun the State Fair in that city it was a
grand success both years, and he adver-
ttacti It in. crtiy poperm Gfiargift. The
advertisement in The Democrat drew
hundreds from this section. But there ie
only one Huff in the country. The Fair
in Atlanta last year was a poor thing and
a financial failure. The* managers did
propose to advertise it is true, but their
terms was as low as a wild-cat advertising
agent’s,and consequently very few papers
were hungry enough to do the work for
the price. Huff paid regular rates—and
the y&ix of the great panic, the State Fair
was a grand success financially and in
every other respect.
Mississippi Affairs-
The Vicksburg Herald reports another
riot at Saratia, in Yazoo county, on the
Yazoo river, about thirty miles northeast
of Vicksburg, in which two white men
were wounded. No particulars are given.
The scattered functionaries of the Fed
eral Government appear to have been
busy yesterday telegraphing on the sub
ject of Ames’ demand for help to suppress
the ‘‘insurrection” in Mississippi. Some
of these functionaries are in one place and
some in another, and one, the Secretary of
Btate, had not been found. Tne Attorney
General seems to have decided that Fed
eral armed intervention will not be lawful
until a Presidential proclamation has been
issued commanding the “insurgents” to
disperse. We trust the Mississippi papers
will give the public au intelligible report
of these disturbances. None has yet ap
peared; 1 but from the facts known it seems
absurd enough to characterize it as au “in
surrection.”
Prisoners of War-
_ A correspondent of the Macon Telegraph
disposes, very summarily, of the charge
which cortain Radical sheets have' revived
that Mr. Davis and the Confederate officials
generally treated the Federal prisoners cruel
ly. This correspondent prints the following
extract front th-o Washington Union, giving
the result of an investigation made in 18(38.
The Union said:
“In reply to a resolution of the House of
Representatives calling upon the Secretary
of W ar for the number of prisoners of either
side held, and that died during the the war,
lie makes the following report; Number of
Union prisoners tsouth, 200,940; died. 22,-
595. Number of Confederate prisoners North,
200,000; died, 26,435.”
Northern journals that make flippant ref-
enc ® to “the horrors of Andersonville and
Salisbury,” would do well to remember that
ilic world will place quite a8 much confi
dence in official reports as the do in the bowl
ings of a partisan press.

[For The Democrat.
Our County
Mfl. Editor r Did not self-vindication,
to some extent, demand it, I would not
reply to the communication of “VoxPop-
uli” in your issue of the 2nd inst. Nor
do I propose to reply to all of his nonsen
sical and irrelevant allusions now. He
charges in the outset that “there is not
the slightest foundation for truth” in some
of my assertions. Now as to this first
charge, I will simply say that ‘'Vox Pop-
uli” known not whereof he speaks, and
will only answer this part of his Charge
by asserting that I propose to prove by
the record every assertion made by me
in the article to which he alludes. I do
not propose to discuss the merits or de
merits of the personal character of the
gentlemen composing the old Inferior
Court, but claim the right to speak of
tlieir official acts—taking ft for granted
that they were human and liable as others
to err. Let “Vox Populi” reflect for a
moment and ask himself who commen
ced the system of order shaving to which
he refers, and “think twice” before speak
ing.
As to the County Court and its cost to
the county, I refer him to the records, I
do not propose to discuss the County
Court question with 1dm any further but
leave it to the voice of the people. As
truth seems to be a predominating feature
with him, I would suggest that he have
a little more regard therefor. It is only
necessary to refute the mild assertion
that the County Court only costs the coun
ty $2040 per annum, to refer the reader to
the record and to the fact that the board
have had to levy 19 1-2 per cent to defray
the expenses thereof (see public notice).
I am not afraid of the records to which
I again invite his special attention.
I stared that the present Board came
into office with a debt of 35 to 40 thousand
dollars hanging over them. “Vox Pop-
uli” can get data from which to make an
estimate if he will put himself to a little
trouble to examing the records as well as
the report of the $900 committee to which
his attention is again specially directed as
well as the acts of tire jail committee un
der the Inferior Court. Facts are “stub
born things.” The harvest of order shav
ing to which he refers, has been, it is true,
“too rich a field to be gathered at one
lime”—but unfortunately (?) for Vox Pop
uli” and his friends they have long since
inflicted the death blow which “killed
the goose that laid the golden egg." They
have long since grabbed the pile in the
way of order shaving, extortionate fees,
insolvent costs, etc.
Does “Vox Populi” know that a former
Sheriff received $650 direct from the
county Treasury and a county Judge $250
for insolvent costs, where said amount
was due from fines and forfeitures and not
fiom the Treasury ? Are the present board
—lUJl llfp
head to hear Judge Wright’s charge to the
Jury in relation to the safes. The writer
recollects it very distinctly. I would ask
in all reason and justice-why try to palm
off all the blame on the present incum
bents ?
I would inform “Vox Populit’ that I
got my information from the books them
selves and the report of the committee
which was paid $900 for said report. He
gives it as hi* opinion that Decatur county
will be more “greatly m debt at the close
of this year than ever before.” This is
merely his opinion without the slightest
foundation upon which to base it—and
this opinion formed against facts—there
being a e s amount of tax lcved this year
than for several past.
I am not, Mr. Editor, the apologist for
the county Board nor of anyone, but sim
ply desire to see justice done all parties
in the premises. The expenditures of the
county for 1869 aud part of 1870 was $31,-
394,00 which was partly contracted by
the Inferior Court, and by the succeeding
Board of county commissioners of whom
“Vox Populi” seems to boast, and a large
portion of this amount was left unliqui
dated and to be paid by the present Board.
Does “Vox Populi” know, that for the
year 1869 and up to 1st of November 1870
(21 months) that the outstanding orders
issued against the county—was over $30,-
000 (to be ascertained by investigation of
official documents) and does he know furth
er that this was contracted by an able and
efficient Board of t financiers. Did not
the Inferior Court build a jail at an origi
nal cost of over $6,000 which could have
beeu built for $3,000 ? Did not' an able
and efficient board put additions thereto
costing $10,000 which Could have been
done for $4,000 ? The present jail cost
the county not less than $15,000 and can
be placed on the spot for $5,000? These
are a few startling figures, but still more
startling can be learned by “Vox Populi”
and his friends, upon investigation, and a
rigid examination of the records.
How to Perpetuate the Union-
[Fromthe Manchester(N. H.) Union.]
The Lebanon Free Press is more anx
ious than the papers of that ilk used to be
concerning the future of the Republic.
But if we can secure an honest and patri
o‘ic administration of the government we
do not think the Free Press need to bor
row any trouble on this score. The con
stitution says “the powers not delegated
to the United States by the constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the States, are re
served to the States respectively, or to the
people.” Now, perhaps wo shall agree
upon the proposition that the United States
is sovereign to the extent of the powers
specifically granted, while the States are
sovereign in those retained.
There remains, to be sure the matter of
construction ; and our friend is one of
those thoughtful and anxious people who
lay awake nights on account of some pos
sible “secession." Indeed, be wants to
have it put into the constitution, in white
and black, that no State shall secede. We
are sorry that we cannot allay his appre
hensions on the score. He will remember
that a similar proposition was made in
the convention which formed the const i
tution, but it was voted down ; ffnd sev
eral States, amonsr them New York, en-
I tered the Confederacy with the distinct
avowal that they would go out when they
pleased. This view has generally been
entertained by a certain class of Northern
politicians They hold that the right of
secession was “not prohibited by the con
stitntion to the States;” and Massachu
setts threatened to “step down and out”
in 1812, and several times after. Ohio
and ether Northern States did the same
thing whenever anything was done that
did not suit them, and the founders of the
Republican party are generally committed
to that ddetrine. They only object to it
when other people talk of secession. In
1801 the South thought it had some griev
ances, and H insisted upon the right of
peacehble secession. It sent commission
ers to Washington to treat for it. They
reminded Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Seward, Mr.
Chase, and others then in power, that they
had often recognized the right. Mr. Se
ward told them he would think of it and
let them know what his conclusions were
before he made any hostile movement.
While they were waiting he secretly fitted
out a hostile expedition against Charles
ton, of which they were first apprised by
James E. Harvey, a prominet Republican
but a man of some Sebsc of honor. This
treacheiy of Mr. Seward resulted in war.
which otherwise would not have occurred.
But as oar friehll says, the question re
mains just as it was before ; and the in
quiry is a very proper one, whether it can
b? 1 improved. He proposes to say in the
constitution that States shall not secede.
Let us illustrate : He is a married man,
and as it happens, excellently married—
better than lie deserves to be, probably,
lie is married for life—it is in the com
pact that neither shall secede ; and we are
glad to believe that neither wants to. But
suppose there were “an unquiet house”—
that either were subject to some real and
intolerable grievance, as is sometimes the
case—what then ? Why, the secession of
divorce, or the revolution of violence—re
gardless of the stipulations of the mar
riage compact.
Our brother must consider. It don’t
make the Union any more secure to say
that it sli ill be perpetual. When griev
ances exist, there will be discontent and
resistance. If a man wrongs us, it is our
right to seek a remedy ; and this will de
pend upon circu^tances. So with States.
The Fourth of July fellows say, "Esto
Perpetual" We say, simply, may the
Union be perpetual ! but we know very
well that it will.not be without justice and
social comity. Nothing can be put into
the constitution to change this condition.
Revolution is always in order, and, in the
language of Mr. Lincoln, “any people,
anywhere, Uhving the power, have the
right to establish a government for them
selves,” if, under the existing government,
they are subject to perils or oppression.
The Union is not to be perpetuated by
laws or bayonets, but by justice and
amity.
Ames’ Plot-
Jackson, Miss., September9.—The fol
lowing dispatch was sent the United
States Attorney General to-night:
“7b Honorable Edwards Pierrepont, At
torney General of the United Stdtks—There
are no disturbances in this State, and no
obstructions to the execution of the laws.
There has been a conflict at a political
meeting, and some subsequent disturbance
of the peace, but everything is quiet, and
the Governor’s call for United States
troops does not even pretend that there is
any insurrection against the State Govern
ment, as required by the revision of tiu-
United States statutes of 1875, page 10 to
troops would but' increaSfl
people of the Northern States are well sa -
isfied that any attempt to revive the policy
of Federal interference will fail. All the
States must take care of themselves. If
Mississippi cannot preserve public order
and prevent her citizens from murdering one
another we may feel sorry for het, but we
are not the less sure that the best lesson for
her is to let her bear for awhile the incon
venience of failing to do what all the other
States, South and North, are now doing.”
THE BECMTT MISSISSIPPI BIOT
Ames Still Thinks There is a Hecessi
tyfor Troops-
Washington, September 12—Within the
past two days a number of telegrams have
been received by the Attorney General from
people of both political parties in Mississip
pi, stating that it was now substantially
quiet in the recently disturbed portions of
that State, but for greater caution the At
torney General telegraphed on the 10th inst.,
in response to aM&Bpateh from Governor
Ames asking for Federal interference, the
following;
Department of Justice, )
Washington, September 10. /
To Governor Ames, Jackson, Mississippi:
The United States forces have been put
in readiness. No orders have yet been giv
en for them to move, and no proclamation
has been issued-. Everything is ready in
case there is such an insurrection against
the State government as cannot be put
down by the State military forces, aided by
all the powers of the State government and
the aid of true citizens
(Signed) Edward S. Pif.rrf.po.nt,
Attorney General.
This was telegraphed early on the morn
ing of the 10th inst, but no response was re
ceived thereto from any source until yester
day, when a telegram was received by the At
torney General from ex Senatjr Pease, now
Postmaster at Jackson, saying the excite
ment has subsided and that civil force, com
posed of good citizens of all political parties
and of sufficient fircO to protect life and
property, can be h>d in any county in the
State. No effort his yet been made by the
State authorities this direction, until all
legal ineans have been exhausted. Iam of
the opinion that Federal interference is un
wise and impolitic,’land will only tend to ag
gravate the evils.
Senator Alcorn, jof Mississippi, was pres
ent- when this telegram was received by the
Attorney-General, and confirmed its state
ments.
The Attorney-General on the 11th inst.
telegraphed again to Governor Ames as fol
lows; “In my dispatch of yesterday morn
ing-, in which I mentioned that troops were
held in readiness, I asked whether the situ
ation Of the insurrection was such against the
State authorities that the State Government
and the aid of loyal citizens could not put it
down. I have received no repjy to this ”
No response came until between eleven
and twelve o’clock last night, when the
Governor sent to : the Attorney-General a
very loDg telegram giving in explanation,
that it was a question of race, and lie still
thought that there-Was a necessity for troops.
The Attorney-General has made a lull re
port, sending all the telegrams and commu
nications by special messenger to the Presi
dent to-day, and expects to receive further
suggestions from the President tb-moirow.
the people in the good faith of the preseuU ^
government. S
“Signed) J. II. George,
“Chairman of the Democratic State Ex
ecutive Committee.”
Washington, September 10,—The At
torney General to-day telegraphed to Gov
ernor Ames requesting Information regard
ing the present condition of affairs in the
recently reported disturbed portions of
Mississippi, and is now expecting a reply.
A dispatch has been received in re
sponse to the telegram from the Attorney
General inquiring as to the whereabouts
of Secretary Fish, annoencing that that
gentleman is at liis country seat on the
Audson, and that we will meet the Attor
ney General at any point he may desig
nate, to confer upon the subject of a proc
lamation.
To tills telegram the Attorney General
replies, informing the Secretary of State
of his telegram of this date to Governor
Ames, and delaying the proposed confer
ence until after a reply to that telegram
shall have been received, the character of
which, it is judged, may be such that no
further action will be necessary by the
General Government.
Later—A telegram has just been re
ceived by the Attorney-General from the
Sheriff of Hinds county, Mississippi, re
porting that perfect peace prevails through
out that county. The peace officers are
not prevented from executing the legal
process, and good citizens, the Sheriff
telegraphs, will aid him in the discharge
of his duties if needed. The Attorney-
General expressed the opinion that the
difficulties were at an end. He will await
a response to his telegram of this morning
to Governor Ames.
