Bainbridge, (Ja., May 11, 187G.
Tbc Milledgeville Union and Recorder
says any man who wilt golrefore the peo
ple of Georgia as a candidate for Gover
nor, with the removal of the Capitol to
Milledgeville as his platform, will be
triumphantly elected. With a due sense
of the profoundness of all opinions eme-
natiua- as above, we are nevertheless con
vinced that that would be about as poor
a platform as it is possible to scare lip.
We are sick of so much of this disgruntled
talk about the removal of the Capitol to
Milledgeville. Atlanta has the Capitol,
and we are in favor of letting It remain
with her.
The Radical delegates to the Cincinnati
Convention stand as follows: For Mor
ton, 5; for Bristow, 6; for Conkling, *3;
for Blaine, 8. The leader of the party in
this District, Maj Whiteley, (who is not
a delegate, however) is f Blaine man and
controlled the District in that direction.
The delegates from the Second are Wade
and Putney, both for Maine of Blaine.
What excuse can those newspapers who
nre decrying Mr. Hill in connection with
thd Senatorial election have for their
course. Mr. Hill, nor any of his friends,
so far as we have heard, have said any
thing about the matter as yet. Gentle
men you must have some reason for be
lieving Mr. Hill’s chances very promising.
The Augusta Chronic’e and Sentinel has
an awful plaili way of saying things. It
asks, will the few newspapers that are so
much disgruntled by the election of Gov
ernor Smith, Messrs. Barnes, Lester and
Wofford as delegates to St. Louis from
the State at large please suggest a better
ticket ?
That irrepressible glass-eyed fraud,Carl
Shurz, is kicking up a row again trying
to form a new party. We voted with
this Radical foreigner once, but if we can,
by doing any stated amount of penance,
get forgiveness therefor, Carl Shurz will
not occupy the same boat with us again.
Hanged if he does.
We have heard of no complaints, and
can’t see what moved Harris to say : The
invitations to the press excursion to Ty-
bee, issued by the Morning News, were
intended to include every Georgia editor.
Those who have received no formal invi
tation will, we trust, attribute the fact to
inadvertence.
The Democrats of South Carolina have
held their convention. They send Gen.
John Bratton, Hon. W. D. Porter, D.
Wyatt Aiken and Gen. J. D. Kennedy as
delegates at large. The delegates are un
instructed, and have different preferences
as to candidates.
the
the
. Maj. Whitely was considerably snubbed
at the Radical convention at Atlanta. His
name was reported by the Committee as a
delegate for the State at Laige to the Cin
cinnati Convention,but was almost unani
mously voted down and that of Wallace,
a negro, substituted.
Gen. Colquitt’s friends claim that all the
newspapers are for him. We think we
know of just one or two that are not, and
would not be afraid to venture the asser
tion that there are several people, in Georgia
who are not in favor of Colquitt for Gov
ernor. Though we’ll see what we’ll see.
Nothing short of the name of William
E. Smith will do the people in the next
Congressional race. He is not on'y the
man above all others to make, successful
ly, the stubborn fight approaching, but it
is due him to give him another term.
People of Southwest Georgia, who are
benefitted by that great thoroughfare, the
A. & G. Railroad, should remember Col.
Hardeman’s services in securing to us
that great link which gives us intercomse
with the outuside world.
Ocit Ticket.—For President, Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard, of Delaware; for Vice
President, Gen. W. S. Hancock; for Gov
ernor, Hon. Tom Hardeman, of Bibb; for
Congress, Second District, lion. Win. E.
Smith, of Dougherty.
The Live Oak [Fla.] Times has changed
front, and is now a Radical sheet. Keep
has been keeping had company, and the
result is a full fledged Florida Radical,
beside whom a Georgia nigger is a perfect
Sunday School.
The Macon Telegraph says Col. Herbert
Fielder will be a candidate for Congress
in this District. We’re not surprised, for
that was something to be expected all the
while.
Mr. Hardeman was among the last men
whose disabilities the Radical Congress
would remove. This is enough, within
itself, to illustrate his services to the
South during and since the war.
Congress is taking a holiday this week
to visit the Centennial. We will have a
rest for a few days, and official thieves
can now venture out to get a glass of
beer.
This country may be said to be suffer
ing just now from a triple combination of
disorders—Bclknappery, Grantism, and
Babcoc.kvpop.
The Senior editor is in Savannah at
tending the Press jamboree. That ac
counts for the absence of anything heavy
this week.
THE COLUMBUS INFAMY.
We have read the evidence adduced
before the Commitment trial in the case
of the Rev. C. A. Kendrick, pastor of the
Baptist church in Columbus, Ga., charged
with the seduction of Fannie Bush, a girl
thirteen years of age. We had hoped,
eagerly hoped, that the Reverend scoun
drel would prove himself to be the victim
of a conspiracy, as be stoutly maintained
he would be able to do, hut the evidence
shows nothing of the kind.
It shows, however, that Kendrick,
under tile cloak of a minister of the Gos
pel and a Sunday School Teacher, has
■been having criminal intercourse with
this girl for months. . While her parents
were sure she was receiving religious in
struction from the ripe experience of a
man of God, she was being seduced, de
stroyed and damned, by the most infa
mous libertine of whom we have ever
heard. The testimony is damning, and
proceeds from the mouths of eye-witnes
ses, as well as from the lips of the unfor
tunate girl herself. As her Sunday’ School
teacher, this villain robs her of her virtue,
and then puts lies in her mouth to screen
him from guilt. Futhermore, he deliber
ately plans the crime of abortion, if nec
essary, to prevent the exposure of his
deviltry’ that must necessarily follow
course he had been pursuing.
And this man was pastor of one of
finest congregations in the city’ of Colum
bus. No clergyman stood higher than
he. Young, handsome, talented, eloquent,
he stood head and shoulders above any
other minister of his age in the State.
And horror or horrors ! just before be
was discovered in this crime and shame,
lie had been the head-centre of a great re
vival of religion in liis church! Think of
it! A fiend of the lowest Hell exhorting
souls to Christ, with the destruction of a
thirteen-year old girl reeking in his con
science. Before the crime of this mon
ster, all kindred deeds in history pale by
comparison.
Is there no earthly retribution for this
fiend incarnate, who robs virtue of its in
nocence and turns the very House of God
into a bagnio of adultery and fornica
tion? Is there no carl hly retribution for
the ministerial hypocrite who “goes in
and out before liis people,” as a paragon
of piety and religion; but in the by-places,
tfiat his incarnate lusts be satisfied, con
demns to perpetual disgrace the lambs of
his flock ?
He deserves to be branded, stripped to
the skin, and trade to run the gauntlet of
the outraged people of Georgia, each one
of whom, being armed with a whip of
steel, to lacerate his carcass of human rot
tenness as he passes, until he falls to
earth dead, an example to the country
for ail time to come.
What a lesson this conveys to parents,
to guardians, to brothers, and to young
women. Whenever a girl throws off that
proper maidenly Teserve—whenever she
becomes intimate with anybody of the
name of man, preacher or other person,
right then she is in danger of losing that
most priceless of all boons—that which, if
lost, can never be regained—virtue.
There is a lesson in this to all. Heaven
grant tlwit we may all learn and appre
ciate it.
The Albany News corrects a current
mistake by stating that Col. E. C, Bower,
a rising young man of nnd presidential
delegate from the second district, is a
citizen of Early county. He never lived
in Decatur county.—Constitution.
W hefi Hie Atlanta Constitution makes
an error and then iudeavors to explain, it
is like dusting the parlor table with a sut
bag—it gets things “worse off.” Mr.
Bower is a: native of Decatur county, at
least he has iived here since childhood.
He has resided iu Early county’ for three
or four y’ear-;.
But it docs’nt make a particle of differ
ence where Mr. Bower resides, he is a
man, every inch a man, and a rising
young lawyer. When we heard of his
selection as a delegate we threw up our
cap, for we regarded it as a triumph of
the yovng Democracy’.
“Carlos,” the Washington correspon
dent of the Savannah News, says:
The fact that Ben Hill and General Toombs
appeared as opposing counsel in a cotton
case before the Supreme Court a week or
two or ago was stated at the time. I am
told Ben has won his case. And now I hope
the talented rural editor will not rise up
and charge me with concocting a conspiracy
against the mein! er from the Ninth district.
The “rural editor” has made no charge.
In liis attacks upon Mr. Hill, the designs
of “Carlos” were too transparent to re
quire any’ charges to be preferred, for
every one who rend them could see plain
ly’ the motive which prompted the as
saults
The light has triumphed, and Harney
Richard, who was maliciously accused of
the murder of Johnson, of Florida, has
been acquitted. A dispatch to the S;u.
vanuah News says: “Harney Richard’s
case was given to the jury this evening,
and they retired at night. After remain
ing out two hours they’ returned a verdict
of acquittal. The prisoner was thereupon
discharged, amid the congratulations of
STOPPING INVESTIGATION
’1 he Senate, the Administration, and
the King courts at Washington have ail
combined to thwart and to defeat furth
er investigation into the frauds and
corruptions which have thus far as
tounded the country. The Republican
leaders perceive that if the exposures
continne to be made as they have be
gun, defeat at the Presidential election
is certain. They know how much is
yet con:ealed, and they dread the con
sequences that must follow new proofs
of an organized system of robbery and
rascality, such as has already been
found in almost every hrancli of the
public service
It would be impolitic, and, in the
present temper of the public mind,
perhaps dangerous to oppose investiga
tion openly, as that would be nearly
equal, to a confession of guilt, lienee
the leaders have proceeded insidiously
to effect their objects and to tie tile
hands of the people’s representatives
by artful expedients They have cau
cused and sought to do by indirect
means what they would not dare to at-
at,tempt directly.
After the flight of Marsh to Canada,
it became evident that, unless witnesses
were properly protected, investigation
would be clucked, and, in fact, be made
dependent upon voluntary testimony.
A bill was therefore passed by the
House to extend immunity for the pur
pose of obtaining evidence of frauds on
the Government, and exposing the cor
rupt complicity-of officials. The Sen
ate has stifled that hill and thus given
its protection to Kings and robbers.
Under the power of the House to
call for persons and papers, no question
has been heretofore raised about produ
cing originals from the departmental
files in aid of investigation. In many
cases the/ are indispensable for that ob
ject, since copies would furnish no cite

chagrined and mortified at their defeat
The court’s charge to the jury’ was re
markably impartial.”
A great howl is already being raised
over the anticipated scarcity of small
change. Everybody, the papers say are
hoarding the fractional currency to ex
change for silver—and when they get the
coin they are so elated at the novelty that
they hold on to it instead of putting it
afloat in the business world. Of course
this is all wrong, hut the novelty’ will soon
wear off, and small change will be abun
dant as ever.
The Bainbridge Democrat is now in
favor of the nomination of Col. Harde
man as the Democratic candidate for
Governor, and expresses the opinion that
he is the choice of the Democracy of De
catur county. We know that Decatur
polities are sonic times peculiar, but
think it a little strange that the people of
that county should he tor Hardeman when
the balance of Southwestern Georgia are
almost unanimously for Colquitt. So
strange do we think it that we don’t quite
believe it, with due deference to the
Democrat.—Blakely News.
For a man of his years, and one, too,
whose extreme piety has given birth to
the report that he is a preacher, we think
our friend Fleming’s utter recklessness in
making assertions something extraordina
ry’. Of course wc igjiy be wrong, but
stijl we hazard the remark that “the bal
ance of Southwestern Georgia” is not “al
most unanimously for Colquitt.” As for
Decatur county’, we can’t see arything
very peculiar in her being in favor of
Hardeman, for no better man lives in
Georgia, nor one more competent to as
sume the powers of Governor. Of course
Brother Fleming must know that newspa
per ideas are not always the ideas of every
man who reads them, and while Harde
man may, or may not, be the favorite
here, we say every indication is in his
favor, and our opinion is Decatur county
will give him her votes in the convention."
Is Mr. Fleming certain Early’ county is
for Colquitt ?
Augusta Chronicle: Rev. W. Watkin
Hicks has managed to keep in very hot
water since he went to Florida. His latest
exploit was to call Mr. H. J. Baker, of
Fernandina, a liar. The scene was the
Circuit Court room, but Mr. Baker resent
ed the insult by’ caning the reverend gen
tleman on the spot.
The Louisville Jeffersonian Democrat
thinks it is safe to assert that there is no
disposition on the part of any considerable
number of democrats anywhere to put up
with any nonesense in the approaching
presidential contest, and that the St.
o umbus had a big fire [ast wogji—lossi Louis convention will nominate a square-
about thirty.five thousand dollars. out democrat without any doubt.
The proposition says the Atlanta Con
stitution to pay Pinehback ten thousand
or twenty thousand or any other sum
from the'treasury is outrageous and ab
surd. If Pinch is entitled to a dollar of
the public money he is entitled to a seat
in the Senate. The Senate has decided
that question, and any’ sum voted to the
repudiated mulatto would be clear steal.
lion. Dawson A. Walker is willing to
be beat for Governor again. He evident
ly likes it, and, in his efforts to make
himself a first-class martyr, reminds the
witty Chronicle and Sentinel of the’ bull
that butted Hie locomotive. Wc can say’
of him what the engineer said of the bull:
We admire his pluck, but damn liis"judg
ment.
Through the continuous effortsof Sena
tor Norwood and Representatives llart-
ridge and Blount, the Committee on Ap
propriations have agreed to an amend
ment to ’he naval appropriation bill re
quiring the Secretary’ of the Navy to make
a naval rendezvous and coaling station at
the mouth of the Savannah riveron Tybee
and Cockspur Islands.
Predictions by the St Paul Dispatch:
“First—Governor R. B. Hays.of Ohio,will
be the Republican nominee for President
at Cincinnati. Second—Governor Samuel
J. Tilden, of New York, will be the
Democratic nominee for President at St,
Louis. Third—Governor Tilden will be
elected in November.”
The Atlan'a Constitution, in speaking of
the action of the'New York Demo, rats,
says: The New York democrats declared
“home rule,” which is t he new phrase for
self-government and opposition to central
ization. We do not care what they call
it if they only stand up stoutly’ for the
great saving principle itself.
Three cheers for Hardeman ! He is
gaining strength every day, and our hon
est conviction is he will be our next Gov
ernor.
Macon Telegraph: “From numerous pri
vate souces, as well as personal observation,
we are pl°ased lo say thTft Col. Hardeman
is steadily gaining ground in all portions of
the State, and his chances of a nomination
are excellent. Just, discreet, honorable and
liberal in his demeanor to all. few can resist
the magnetism of his presence, and that
splendid eloquence which carries every thing
beforeit.”
The Same Story Everywhere.
Let all people and places who feel their
condition particularly cramped, remember
that all others feel the same way. There is
no exception in any part of the United
States. All business is prostrate every
where and all people who have no past ac
cumulations to draw upon are suffering great
inconvenience and anxiety. He is fortu
nate who is able to command a decent sub
sistence, and he is foolish who indulges in a
chronic discontent because he can do no bet
ter. Nothing better can be done until the
restoration of a general equilibrium. Taxes
and expenses have to come down, and the
spirit of idleness, extravagance, luxury,
speculation and fraud must be exercised.
Providence is instructing the people on the
subject of an honest industry and frugality
in such a way that few can evade the force
of the lesson.—Macon Telegraph.

THE INDIANAPOLIS RIOT
[Indianapolis.Special (M iv 3; to I..e (’it;
cinnuli Enquirer.]
Throughout the day Several encoun
ters had taken place, but uothi g
ous occurred till about-six o’clock, when
a Republican on horseback rode to the
Fourth ward, where negro repeaters
were collected, and called out recruits
to stop a riot against the Republicans in
the Sixth ward, several squares off'. At
once a crowd of about sixty colored
men, armed with clubs and in part
with revolvers, made a rush fur the
scene of supposed conflict, ready to spill
Democratic blood in any quantity on
order. On nearing their destination
they were met by several of their white
captains, who made an attempt to quell
this mob violence. The two parties
came together on Illinois street, near
the Grand Hotel. The negroes were
loud and furious, and the Democrats
hot and thirsty to get even for outrag
es endured all day. It was impossible
to control the violence whqn started.
An immense crowd had gathered and
closed in around the negroes, who beat
a retreat up Illinois strett in scattered
ranks. One shot started the fray.
Firing became general on both sides,
the police taking part with the attack
ing party. Seven-were injured, all ne
groes^ three fatally, one of whom, Wil
liam Brown, was shot through the
heart and died instantly, and the other
two, Andy Cartel and Jacob Green,
are now at the point of death, and will
expire before morning. Carter had his
bowels horribly cut with an immense
bowie knife. No arrests have been
made as yet, it .eeming impossible to
fix the crime.
The effect upon the ne ro pobulation
was ominous. They gathered in Buck-
town arid swore to gut the Sentinel of
fice. Governor Hendricks ordered the
Sheriff to arm a body cf one hundred
and fifty men, and they stood ready fur
service in the State House offices May
or Caven got Tom Brov’ne and others
and harrangued the negroes, and finally
succeeded in quieting the commotion.
This bloody conclusion of the day was
not unexpected, but thedis grace is keen
ly felt by both parties. 'J he Republi
cans to-night raised two thousand dol
lars to prosecute the instigators of the
riot, thus intending to make capitcl out
of what they claim a murderous and
unprovoked assault. The election is a
most disgraceful finale to the Republi
can ruffianism, and is no criterion of
the way the State will go in the fall.
