“HERE SHALL THE PREB&THB PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BT INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BT GAIN."
BAINBRIOGE, GEORGIA, APRIL 13, 1876
•f Two Dollar* Tor iuw
Number 27-
One Bell, a clerk in the Pension
Office, has been wagging his tongue,
and the sound of his testimony is for
the administration a funeral chime.
J[c was years a Texas Scout, and, nat
urally enough, got in confidential rela
tions with the President, and was em
ployed in various detective tasks. - Had
he been originally a horse thief, he
might perilaps have aspired to higher
duties. When Ghraut.desired to shad
ow his private Secretary, liabcock. he
; cnt Bell on his track, giving that gen
tleman by way of bonus a position un
der Mizzer Chandler. The two Secie-
tories of Ilis Excellency waylaid His
Excellency's agent in St. Louis, and
engaged him in discovering for the dc-
feme the plans and proofs of the pros
ecution. He had the run of the At
torney (Jeiicral’s office and disclosed all
he found out there to the accused.
Such is a tale of interwiven rascalities
and absurdities has never before been
heard of. It exhibits Grant and sub
ordinates more in the light of a mock
king and his ceurtiers in a Christmas
p-iiitominie, than as rulers of a great
F''P ,C - _
Henry W. Grady writes to the Au-
• r of i Constitutionalist : “There is a
r.i aor that a short passage-at-arms took
i - L twee» a .Northerner and an
Atiinta lady, though I suspect the ru-
u r i- wing al rather by the wit there
in it than by veracity. On dit, that
. Mir’ founder remarked to the lady
ti.it all ne had seen down South that
1. liked was the balmy air and genial
; diiae. •Aii,’ she replied encour-
iiitingly. "well, you see, I’m glad you
like i'ur air and sunshine. It’s till we

The negroes, for the ensuing two
years at least, will have to depend for
protection on the State Governments.
There will he no further interposition,
of federal authority supported by feder
al bayonets to supp< rt their rights or
redress their wrongs. This important
decision marks the beginning of a new
era in the political relations of the ne
gro race in our Southern States.—A .

The resolution for an investigation
into affairs in Mississippi passed the
Senate with Christiancy’s amendment.
T he Courier-Journal says that if these
statesmen can only get the shadow to
go back on the dial, they may make an
attempt to carry the next election ; bifo
tniracles are not as plenty as they used
to be.
A Washington correspondent says
t’.ic editor of the National Republican,
when a boy, came very near being
thrashed for telling the truth. A rath
er singular fact iu his history, certain
ly. though not more so than the addi
tional fact that in the whole course of
his life he has never been known to
repeat the offense.
The resolution introduced into the
House denouncing Pierepont’s letter of
January 26th. threatening the prose
cution of informers, is another shot
straight into Grant’s Cabinet. The
House has the people with it in this
matter, and ne ther Senate, President
or Cabinet officer can oppose the pro
tection of witnesses with impunity.
Courier-Journal .* It is not gener
ally known why Zaoh Chandler once
declined the Spanish mission. It was
all because somebody told him that
there was no “w” in the Spanish lan-
guage. As there was no f 'w” in Span
ish, he couldn’t see bow the dickens
there could be any whiskey in Spain.
The Chicago Times declares that
tirant is incapable of comprehending
the difference between an honest man
»nd a thief. May be so ; but between
'he Times’ honest man and Grant’s
'•‘let we fear there is very iittle differ
ence to comprehend.

AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS-
We notice that A. T. Stewart, of New
York, will entertain the Emperer of Bra
zil! upon the arrival of his Royal High
ness in this country. We are expecting
an in'. Ration to be-present, and if busi
ness engagements do not prevent will try
to be on hand.
The Cutlibert Messenger is the spiciest
little paper we know of. It does us good
to get hold of it.
The Cuthbert Messenger very pertinent-
I ly remarks that the burglar fever is raging
all over Southwest Georgia, and that, if
the Republican party don’t hurry up and
send some “overflow" bacon, their main
force will be in the chain gang.
Henry McIntosh, in speaking of the
Boat excursion to Apalachicola, says:
“Just count us in, Ben, but we are afraid
that it’s “no go” with Kayton, unless the
committee of arrangements agree to lay
in a supply of sour krout and Limburger
cheese.”
Mr. A. S. Hart ridge, a prominent citi
zen qf Savannah, is dead. Mr. II. was a
brother of Hon. Julian Hartridge.
The Albany News doesn’t speak in very
complimentary terms of the Philion Com
bination, which recently played in Bain
bridge.
Thomasvillc had an attempt at afire last
week.
We’ve got a man down here we want to
propose for Governoi on Jhe Radical
ticket.
And now Thomasville has got up that
Monticell# railroad talk again.
Quitman shipped from Sept. 1st 1874,
to March 15th, 1875, G,!)07 baies of cotton
and from Sept. 1st 1875, to March 15th,
1870. only 5,810 bales, and thinks the
reason of this is that the farmers are hold-
in : their cotton back.
The Quitman fireman will parade on
the fir-t Tuesday in May.

Ii is :< n -at paper, and is ably edited.
Another failure n Albany, but, says
the News, “that’s nob-ale's business.”
Heavy floods arc reported all over tie-
up country. The livavie i fall of rain in
five years.
Hen. Win. F. T-inith, our immediate
Representative in Congress, is on a visit
of a few days to Iiis home in Albany.
It has been decided that Mr. S. R. Wes
ton, editor of the Dawson Journal, is the
handsomest man in Dawson. This leads
us to again observe, hurrah for the edi
tors !
The Dawson Journal is rather severe.
Listen to it : This burg is possessed of
some men who think that the world could
not get along without them. If they will
get a cambric needle, go out to the mill
pond and stick it in the water, withdraw
it and look at the hole, they will probably
be convinced that the world can move
along again after they depart.
The health of Hon. A. H. Stephens is
thought to be improving.
The Macon Telegraph, in speaking of
the floods in that section, says: “Mayor
Huff went down to the Napier plantation
yesterday, and found the occupants of the
negro quarters fishing from the windows
of their cabins, and actually catcliingfish.
An occupant of one of the cabins dropped
a line in his fire-place and caught a cat
fish fifteen inches long. This is verified
on the most reliable authority.”
The Cuthbert Messenger heads it now
“another smoke house heard from.”
Some of our exchanges say that the
growing crops have been materially
damaged by the late heavy rains in diffe
rent localities in the State.
Mrs. C. C. Davis, late of Camilla, is

llou. B. II. Hill has beeu working very
faithfully in Washington for the pardon

Revenue. A large number of those peo
ple have been arrested and most of them
under flimsy pretences.

are now in the posession of the sheriff,
and owners can get the same by calling
for them.
Cuthbert Messenger: The Albany
News now states that it was not in the
pay of the Joe Brown lease. That com
completes the list, all of the Southwest
Georgia weeklies have been heard from,
and they all deny having been in the lease
pay. Now the next question in order is,
who has lied, Joe Brown or the papers,
Joe says $1000 was paid the papers in this
section for lease purposes.
Cuthbert Messenger: The colored peo
ple of Thomas county held a meeting on
last Saturday week to send delegates to
the Nashville Convention which meets
this week to discuss the propriety and
feasibility of the whole colored race going
back to Africa. Then if they all go, we’ll
have a huge old time raising hogs, and
give our smoke house locks to the chil
dren to play with, or keep them as relics
of the past.
Camilla Enterprise: A gentleman who
recently visited our sister county, Baker,
states to us that he saw more evidences of
prosperity and more improvement of
homes and fences and outbuilding in pro
cess of construction and completed than
he has seen in the county- since the war
altogether. It has been truly said of
Baker county that she is a treasure within
herself and a poor man’s paradise. This
gentleman has promised us a letter of ob
servational notes on this subject-, and if it
be not over long, we shall take pleasure in
publishing it.
Thomasville Enterprise: John and
Tom, coming to town last Saturday in
company, naturally commenced talking
of their affairs, intentions, &c. Says John:
What are you going for to d.»v, Tom ?
Well, replied Tom. I am going to arrange
for guano. What! says John, you use
guano ? your lands do not need it. No,
repli<-<t turn, I dn not know ttin; they do,
but then that is about all they sell on a
credit now-a days and 1 had about eon-
cluded to buy a iittle. After some per
suasion from John, Tom, had almost
made up his mind to let it alone, when
we last saw him. Whether he was final
ly induced to sign for a ton of juanner or
not we cannot say.
Albany News: Messrs. Masli & Clicves
have sold, ibis season, two hundred tons
of the \Y. A C. Guano. Mr. W. II. Beach,
of Savannah, “general and sole agent for
the Southern States” for. this fertilizer,
has used printers ink most liberally and
liis sales have been immense, if not un
precedented bv any single agency. Some
think the times too dull to advertise—Mr.
Beach thought they were too dull not to
advertise. Messrs. Mash & Chcves are
the only agents lie re who have advertised
fert ilizers in the Albany Newsthis season,
and they have sold nineteen-twentieths of
all that has been sold in this place. To
have a good article to sell, and advertise
it freely, “is business.”
THE ENFORCEMENT ACT-
[From the Atlanta Constitution.
The cases just decided grew out of a
not in Grant parish, Louisiana, in 1873
which resulted in the death of a large
number of negroes. Indictments against
ninety-eight whites were found under the
enforcement act, and nine of them were
tried in the United States circuit court.
On the second trial one of them was con
victed. A motion in arrest of judgment
was argued before Justice Bradley, who
held the indictments illegal. It is un
necessary to state the grounds of his de
cision, although in some respects they
were broader and more satisfactory than
those given by the court of last resort to
which the case was taken after Justice
Bradley’s decision.
The supreme court ruled that the indict
ment which was found under the sixth
section of the enforcement act was fatal
ly defective, because it charged a conspi
racy to deprive the colored parties con
cerned of rights which were not granted
or secured by the constitution or laws of
the United States, namely, the right to
peacefully assemble and bear arms, which
rights, the court held, were not granted
b3 T the constitution, but existed indepen
dent of it, and which the states alone had
the right to vindicate, and it was not
charged that they were assailed on account
of the race or color. One or two counts
did place the charge on account of race
or color, but they were so vague and gen
oral in other respects as to be totally un-
sustainabble. No question of the uncon
stitutionality of the sixth section was rais
ed the, indictments being defective.
On the same day the court decided the j
Kentucky case, in which two white men
were indicted for refusing the vote of a
regro because he did not present proof
that he had paid the tax as required by
the laws of Kentucky. In this case the
! third and fourth sections xvere held to be
unconstitutional, because general in their
j character, and not confined to the hin
drance or prevention of the parties’ right
to vote on account of race or color.
The specific and fundamental idea of
these decisions, says the intelligent Wash
ington correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, is that murders, robber
ies, conspiracies and ail other crime's com
mitted bv one individual against another
in a state and not by the laws of the
United States, unless committed by reason
of race or color of the party against whom
they are committed, in which case the in
ference from the decision would seem to
be that they are punishable by the lams
of the United States, if proper laws to
that effect are enacted. This of course,
does not relate to every species of offense,
but only to those which affect'.the funda
mental rights of the liens guaranteed
by the constitution, including the recent
amendments.
It is not claimed that these tardy decis
ions go as far as t hey should, but they are
at least an important advance in the right
direction. They have created, says the
Courier-Journal’s correspondent, a mark
ed sensation in Washington, and really
mark an epoch in the history of the court
and American polities. The advent of a
democratic house of representatives and
the improved tone of public sentiment,
have impelled the court to do what it
could not longer decently avoid doing.
LOCAL MATTERS
What Governor Smith Said to the Ex
cursionists-
The correspondent of the Detroit News,
who was among the Western excursion,
ists xvho recently paid our State a flying
visit, reports a conversation with Gov.
Smith in which the Governor said: “I
regard the indissolubleness of the Union
as settled forever. Secession was a mis
take. Even had it succeeded, I now see
that it would not have been five years
before there xvould have been further se
cession within the Confederate States.
The States west of the Mississippi could
never have got on long with those east.
The loss of the slaves was a severe blow
to the South. Still we should be just as
well off without them were the negro race
less indolent and unreliable. We cannot
get work out of them now they are free.
A man may employ fifty negroes and
plant his crop, but he has not the slight
est assurance that he will ever gather it.
If his hands choose not to work, he is at
their mere}’, and they are just as liable to
abandon their engagements at a critical
time as at any other. They are constitu
tionally an idle, thriftless race, always de
pending on the whites for everything,and
it will iMm* a century of education before
they can be brought up to the standard
that will make them in any degree useful
members of ;he community.”
The Headstone Swindle.—No
revel ition lias been uu le of late that is
ni >re disyr.ic’fui than the one about
the soldier.-’ he .d-slanes. The Secre
tary of W ir. Belknap, is proved t j
have so managed the bids a? to give the
entire contract, for which Congress
voted a mill ion dollars, to a favorite,
who cheated on the qudity of the
head-tones, reduced their size, and
changed the lettering to such an ex
tent that about a quarter of a million
was swindled out of the Treasury by
the job. The story seems to be rot)
straight to be disputed any longer. It
is a shame to our very civilization that
the Government itself should be made
out a swindler of the dead Union sol
diers. They certainly earned any me
morial which a grateful and admiring
country could erect to them, and the
officials who may be found guilty of
enriching themselves at the expense of
these heroes, trading on their sacred
fame, deserve to be turned over to the
general execration. It is too bad even
for an outrage.
To Advertiaera-
Contract advertisers who wish their ad
vertisements changed or re-set, must band
them in on Monday, otherwise they can
not be attended to. New advertisements
received up to Wednesday noon. Please
»car this in mind.
Warning-
All persons are warned against Seining
in my Pond, without permission. Any
one doing so will be prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law.

had, or he wiff deliver same at your resi
dence. Highest market price paid for

Nhw Governor of M ssissippi.—
The Hou J. M. Stone, President of
the Mississippi Senate, who has be
come Governor of i hat State for the
uuexpired term made vacant by the
resignation of Gov. Ames, is a resident
of Corinth, in the Northern part of the
State, and is a prominent lawyer. He
has been a member of the Seuate for
the past six years, and has distinguish
ed himself as one of the most capable
and useful members of that body. Du
ring the war Gov. Stone was Colonel of
the Second Mississippi Regiment, Con
federate Army, and during the battles
around Petersburg commanded the
brigade to which his regiment was at
tached. In a brief address on taking
the oath of office Gov. Stone said it
would be his purpose to administer the
affairs of the State in strict accordance
with the constitution and laws, with
the view of securing to a 1 1 the citizens
alike their rights under the laws, and
in this effort he invoked the assistance
of the Legislature and of the people of
the State.

nior Editor prevents the proper attention

portance. We will attend to them next

An Appeal to Parents-
Parents, do you love your children?
Then preserve their health. Next to the
blessing of life itself, is the enjoyment of
perfect health. How many are stricken
down in their infancy almost without a
moment’s notice by that insidious disease,
Croup, simply through the neglect to be
provided with the proper remedy ? The
terder plant is nipped and withers ere it
blooms. When the little sufferer has
short, difficult, hoarse breathing, with a
harsh metallic cough, like coughing
through a brass trumpet, there is no time
to lose. Begin at once the use of Dr.
Tctt’s Expectorant and the disease will
readily yei'd to it. Always have it ready
in the house, as this fatal malady requires
the promptest treatment. It is very pleas-
sant to the taste, and children take it
readily.

What Georgia’s Got.
Dr. H. V. M. Miller in his speech’ upon
the reception of the Northwestern visitors,
did up Georgia in the following manner.
His speech was replete with good humor
and good sense. He said in his>emarks2
You talk about your fine country. Yew
have a fine country, I have no doubt
about that. But if there is a better place
than the State of Georgia upon the face of
the earth, I never saw it. {daughter, j I
love the people of the old commemwfalth,
and I love the commonwealth itself. It is
a fine country. My friends, we have got
gold enough in Georgia to-day to pay off
the national debt. We have got Iren
enough in Georgia to bind together every
section of this country. We have got
slate enough in Georgia to cover all out-
of-doors. (Laughter and applause.) Wo
have got marble enough in Georgia to
fence in all out-of-doors. We have get
copper enough to furnish the brass of the
whole Yankee nation. (Laughter.) Wall,,
that is not half of it.
Go up to the Capitol and look into the
specimens of mineral wealth and agricul
tural wealth. I shall not enumerate the
articles of small value, such as diamonds
(laughter) ; but down here upon the sen-
coasts we can lake rice enough to feed a
Chinese Empire. We have down there
live oak forests enough to build the navies
of the world. And you will see before
you return from your excursion trip,
fields enough to clothe the world; and not
only so, but we have water power enough
to spin it.
In a pleasant way of boasting abeut
Georgia, be said: Well, I might extend
these boasts. Why, the first Sunday School
ever taught in the world was in the city
of Savannah. (Great laughter and ap
plause.) Why, that is the truth, and by
whom? I venture to say that amongst
your large delegation here, and there in
a hundred Methodists, and I doubt
whether five of them know that the first
school was taught by John Wesley, their
founder, in Savannah. That was long
before Mr. Raikes evar dreamed of soda
an enterprise.
Uncle Danid Drew says Commodore
Vanderbilt is worth a hundred millions.
No one except the Commodore himself,
or possibly his eldest son, knows how
much the old gentleman really is worth.
He is a genial companion, but he does
not talk about his private aftkira to peo
ple. It is probable, however, that. Mr,
Drew gives, to say the least, the. out
side figure of the Commodore’s waailh.
However, it may be safely smsitel thd
Vanderbilt is the riehest mao it
