Democr AT. Volume 5 “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 1,0r that Yankees didn’t burn up or :i duriiis and u inee the war.’” The Weekly Democrat. BEN. E. RUSSELL, - Proprietor. Ben E.

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 . 1'. UeraM. 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. You can have the Demcrat-front now Vattl February 1. 1877, for $1 50. 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. The new daily <>f Atlanta, the Times, In:- nm-te its appearan: o in our sanctum. 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 dead. Gen. Colquitt will be present at the May Fair in Thomasville. Triplett wants to kuow if Thomasville has a vagrant law. Juo. P. Lyles, a prominent citizen of Randolph county, is dead. Mrs. Millions, of Cuthbert, died last Wednesday. llou. B. II. Hill has beeu working very faithfully in Washington for the pardon of North Georgia citizens charged, and some convicted of defrauding the Revenue. A large number of those peo ple have been arrested and most of them under flimsy pretences. Sheriff Mayo, of Albany, is after the eow thieves. Capt. Tom Evans is teaching short hand writing in Albany. Brooks county has had too much rain, the Reporter says. j Thomasville is to have a Commercial I School. Mrs. John Stark, of Thomasville. is ! dead. | The Cuthbert Appeal says thieving is ! becoming monotonous in that section, j The Times says it is safe to say that ten I persons are cultivating rice in Thomas county this year, to where one cultivated it before. A Talbot county thief was caught one day last week, and the following goods and ca white coats, proofs, 2 pairs d hand sa tin pant tubs, 2 ws dies" f. found in his possesion: Nine fine qeilts, 4 counterpanes, 4 pillows, r l blanket, 2 fine shawlsccL fcoverlct, 7 overcoats, 7 hats i, 4 undershirts, 3 h, 4 fine dress children’s water- vests, 7 la skirts, 2 >wels, 8 pairs socks, 2 5 wash .bowls, 2 tin tub, 2 wooden lumbrella, 2 sad- riding bridle. 1 fly brush, 1 bolster case, 7 infant’s dresses, 3 infant’s skirts, 1 watch and chain, 6 pairs pillow cases, 2 bonnets, 3 pairs boots and shoes, 1 gold-head cane, 1 silver-head cane, 2 club axes, 1 lantern, 1 buggy apron, etc. Many of the above articles 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.

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.

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 America in readily available and $169* dily productive property.
