WHITELEY S RECORD- The Civil Rights Bill, which was fram ed purposely to degrade the Southern white people, by placing th&n bn terms of social equality with negroes The bill failed before llie Courts, but it was no ’ fault of Whitcley’s. The KuKlux Bill, which gave authority to United States States Marshals to arrest citizens of the South without warrant or reason, and carry them to Washington to be tried by a military court. Innocent men were dragged away at the hour of midnight, often not being allowed to bid their families farewell. The Election Bill, framed by himself, hut which failed to pass even a Radical Congress. This bill intended to take the election of Congressmen virtually out of the hands of the people, and give Air. Whiteley a lease of years to the office. A vote in the negative, when it was pro posed to give back to the widow of Gen. Robert E- Lee the home that had beeu il legally taken from her by the Government during the war. All the salary grabs ever proposed by a thieving Radical Congress. Nenrh every harsh measure ever pro posed by the Jacobins in Congress against the South. CAUTION. It is believed to be true that the Radi cals will make no attempt to elect Hayes and Wheeler in the State of Georgia, but will make a desperate effort to elect two or more Congressmen, and to that end the Democratic Electoral ticket wil. be used, with the Radical candidate for Congress attached. Now Democrats and Reformers of Decatur, be certain that yon vote no ticket next Tuesday unless tlie name of William E. Smith, the Demo cratic nominee for Congress, is upon it. Have an eye to this thing and watch it close. The indications are that this is to be a gay winter.—X. 1'. Tribune. It certainly .will be such if the people succeed, as we believe they will, in electing honest Sam Tilden President next Tuesday. There will be great re joicing, North and South, among rich and poor, and everybody will take hope for the future. And we further pre» diet, if Tilden is eLcted, that in one year from his inauguration every honest colored man in the South will be glad that Hayes was defeated. Mark the prediction! NEXT TUESDAY The view of the political situation is certainly encouraging to the friends of 7?eform and Liberty throughout the country. , It is now patent at least to every reading man that we have the most corrupt Government on the face of the earth. The late House of Rep resentatives in Congress has unearthed enough of Republican rascality to show the entire people that that party cannot longer be trusted with the Government. The elections this fall show by the many brilliant Democratic successes that the people are setting their faces against the party of Robbers and in fa vor of the party of Reformers. When the Radicals have carried the day at all, it is by a marked reduction upon former majorities. Now we not only want a success for the Democracy next Tuesday, but we want an overwhelming victory. We want to see the /fubber Party routed indiscriminately, demoralized, panic- stricken and awed in such a manner by the silent ballots of so great a majority of Democratic voters as will make that par ty entirely a thing of the past. And, fellow-citizens, we can do it, and we be lieve that it will be done. Let every man who values honesty, who believe in principle, who loves his country, come to the polls, and help his neighbor to come with him. The power of the ballot was never so precious as now. It is the foundation, the shield and buckler of our liberties. True, there is a despotism at Washing ton equal to the tyrannies of ancient times. True, in violation of our Con stitution the President for purely parti san purposes floods the sovereign State of South Carolina with soldiers equip ped and prepared for war, for the pur pose of intimidating Democratic voters. True, hundreds of innocent white and colored people are hurried off and crowded in sickly, dungeons for no other reason than that they desire to see the Government reformed. But the people can bear it, for they know there is supreme power in the ballot, and they feel that when the sun goes down on next Tuesday, the verdict of 40,000 000 freemen will be recorded in their favor. The Radical managers are mad with desperation, and they are now working with all the utter recklessness of blank despair. They see that they cannot hope to succeed fairly, and they are staking their last chances on the Tyr ant’s last resort, Terror! But thev will fail, for “whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” The Radicals have conducted the campaign like highwaymen about to be called to account for their crimes. De liberate lying, wilful perjury and blas phemy against God are common. Lies so unnatural, have been heralded to the country, that but few were found gulli ble enough to swallow them. But they have come home to their authors to roost, and will damn them to eternal in famy on the 7th. Come then, voters and let us give out might and main to the election of Tilden. Hendricks and Smith. WHAT THE CARPET-BAGGERS HAVE STOLEN- In 1865 the actual and adjusted debt of Alabama was 86,221,186. In 1872 its total debt and contingent lia bilities amounted to 832,926,967; total increase, §2G,705,731. The actual debt of Arkansas in 1865 w is $4,527,- 879; its total debt and contingent lia bilities in 1871 amounted to 819,751,- 265; total increase, 815.223,386. In 1865 the actual and adjusted debt of Florida was 81,307,617 ; in 1872 the total debt, actual and contingent, was 816.556,072; increase, 815,185,455. In 1865 the actual and adjusted debtof Georgia was §5,706,500; in 1S72 the total debt, actual and contingent, was 838.618,750; increase, 832,912,260. The Democratic administration has since reduced its actual liabilities to 88,000,000 and brought its bonds, which at one time could hardly be sold at any price, above par. In Louisiana the actual and adjusted debt was $13,- 357,999; the total debt and contingent liabilities in 1S72 amounted to $41,864,- 473; increase, 828,506,474. In Mis sissippi the actual and adjusted debt in 1865 amounted to 8919,767 ; in 1S71 it was 82,284,216 ; increase $1,367,449 In North Carolina, the debt and liabili ties amounted in 1868 to $15,779,945; in 1872 to $34,887,467 : increase in four years, 819,107,522. In South Carolina the actual and adjusted debt in 1865 was $13.038,964; the total, actual and adjusted debt, in 1871 was $22,» 480,914; increase, $9,441,950. The actual and contingent debt of Tennes see, in 1866, was $26,777,347, and in 1872, $32,054,476 ; increase, $5,277,- 129. In Texas, the actual and adjust ed debt, in 1866„was $328,866; the to tal contingent and prospective debt in 1872, was $12,954,887, being an in crease of $12,629,621, The debt of Virginia increased from $41,000,000 in 1865, to $47,000,000 in 1871, the small increase being due to the short-lived power of tne carpet-baggers. The total increase in the debtef the eleven South ern States, since the war, is $172,685, 940. No wonder the people of South Car olina have determined to elect Gen. Hampton. In 1S60 the property valu ation was $490,000,000. This year it is about $113,000,000. The tax levy was $500,000 in 1S60. In 1873 it was $2,700,000. The expenses of the legis lature were $40,000 in 1S60. In 1S73 they were $291.000. Poor South Car olina ! Democrats of Decatur —honest men of Decatur of every party—can’t you aid your long-suffering sister State j by putting in a square Democratic tick- j et on the 7th proximo? The Civil Rights Bill failed before ‘ the Supreme Court of the United States j because of its unconstitutionality, but ; this does not exempt a Republican Con gress and a Republican President from J attempting to force an unconstitutional j law upon the people. Major Whiteley j voted for that Rill and must not be al- ! lowed to shirk his part of the responsi- t bility. 1 IN THE ARMS OF HIS BLACK ALLIES. The Charleston Journal of Commerce says : At the close of General Hampton’s speech yesterday afternoon, at Graniteville, five or six colored Democrats robed in red flannel shirts, took him bodily in their arms and placed him in his carriage. General Hamp ton is meeting with great success among them In truth, the negroes know the Gen eral to be a chivalrous, reliable gentle man, and in former days an excellent and humane master. They believe what he tells them now, and have wit enough to note the contrast between such a man and the miserable creatures who rob, and still would, seek to lead them. Edward Nowell, a colored speaker, testified at another meeting, that “he had resided in Georgia for the past two years, and could testify that the color ed people of Georgia were not only as free as their race in South Carolina, hut had one hundred times more privi leges of amassing themselves.” BELKNAP. In 1872 a New York paper publish ed the evidence of Gen. Ilazen, show ing that post-traders were compelled to pay large sums for their appointments, the paper inferring openly that the money went to Belknap. The testimo ny was brought to President Grant’s attention, but he declined to take any action on it. In March, 1876, the Democratic House obtaiued proof of Belknap’s guilt, and he was impeached, the President accepting his resignation “with great regret,” and thereby en abling him to escape conviction. Twen ty five Republican Senators and one Democrat voted for his acquittal. His counsel took the ground that Gen. Belknap had accepted presents just as Gen. Grant had done, and argued that he had not acted any more criminally than the rest of them. The testimony showed that two of Belknap’s office- brokers made at least $20 000 each, for securing a half-dozen appointments, in one case charging $1,000 for au intro duction to him. From Marsh, Belknap received fully $20,000 as his half of the black mail levied upon Evans. Within a fortnight after this disclosure, the Ohio State Convention, wnich pre sented Governor Hayes for the Presi dency, eulogized the Administration in the highest terms, and the same action has been taken by every Republican State and National Convention before and since. Eleven cf the post-traders who testified paid $10,000 in 1872 to help re-elect Grant, and one of them admitted having paid assessments with in the present year. Protests Against Bayonet Rule. —The citizens of Jersey City, N. J.. without regard to party, have called a meeting for the 2d of November to pro test against the invasion of South Car olina. The call is signed by leading citizens of the city. Some fifty law yers of Philadelphia, among them some of the most eminent in the profession, have published a protest against Sen. Grant’s proclamation authorizing milita ry intervention in South Carolina. Be tween now and to-morrow week Grant and his banditti will find that they have rather overdone the bayonet busi ness. THE DEMOCRACY OF FLORIDA AROUSED We spent last Saturday in the beau tiful town of Quincy, Fla. It was the occasion of one of the grandest political demonstration we ever witnessed. Eight hundred Democrats belonging to differ ent clubs, with banners flying, were mounted and in line. Five thousand people were in town to witness the soul- stirring pageant. The procession aiarched to the Depot to receive th i distinguished gentlemen who were expected to le present. Hon. B. H.'Miill, to the disappointment of all, failed to put in an appearance, but Hon. Geo. F. Drew, candidate for Gov ernor. Col. Cocke, Attorney General, Hon. Alpheus Baker, of Alabama, Hon. Geo. P. Raney of Tallahassee. aDd Hon. J. E. Ycnge, Presidential Elector, from Pcusa^ta, were present. It waJW great day for Quincy and Florida. The speeches were the best, and their effect was good. The barbe cue was plenteous. and none of the im mense multitude went away hungry. The ladies of Florida are foretno t in the work of Reform, and their patriot ism was evidenced in the decoration of the stand,'the beautiful flags and ban ners and by their presence at the speak ing. Florida is safe for the Democracy. Florida will be redeemed on next Tues day. * CHEERING NEWS- A New York paper says that the Na tional Democratic Committee received nearly two thousand five hundred letters and dispatches last week. A letter from Oregon says that Tilden and Hendricks clubs have been organized in two hun dred and one towns in that sparsely set tled State. The Secretary of the State Democratic Committee of Indiana writes : “We are going to give Tilden and Hendricks fifteen thousand majority in the Presidential election.” From California the tidings are very cheerful. A prominent Democrat in Ohio says : “All the fellows who were on the fence are jumping off upon the Democratic side.” The Democrats of Connecticut are very active, and the same may be said of “Little Rhody.” A gentleman who has traveled considerably in Penn sylvania, and made speeches in many of the towns and villages, say’s the Demo crats have a good chance of carrying that State notwithstanding the frauds in the registry and at the polls which the Repuolieans will be sure to practice. Hundreds offence men in Pennsylvania, also, arc jumping off on the Democratic side. There will be large Democratic gains i.i Wisconsin and Michigan. So far as New York State is concerned, there is no doubt that she will go Dem ocratic by a very large majority. Among betting men wagers on the result in the Empire State are mad ; thicc to one in favor of the Democrats. A GLANCE AHEAD- Tiniest all signs fail, Samuel J Til den will be the next President of the United States. The preliminary b attle has beeu fought and won on the ene my’s chosen ground. The intelligent supporters of 31r. Tilden at St Louis did not regard Ohio or Indiana as nee essary to his success. He was nomina ted on the distinct understanding that he could be elected without, an electoral vote from either of those States. In deed, it was generally conceded by Dem ocrats, and by none more freely than the hard money men, who man-aged his canvass for the nomination, that he had nothiug to hope’ for in that quarter On the other hand, Gov. Hayes was nomi nated because of his alleged strength in the Ohio valley, and on the emphatic pledge of his friends that he would cer tainly carry Indiana, and would have any where from thirty to fifty thousand majority in Ohio. But the October elections have as tounded both parties. The reformers are amazed by the strength of then- candidate in those States, and the Re publicans are dismayed by the pitiful weakness of theirs. Indiana rolls up a round Democratic majority for the man whom her delegation opposed most bit terly at St. Louis, and Gov. Hayes es capes defeat in his own State by the narrowest possible margin. And now if Grant, Chandler and Cameron contin ue the policy of military repression be gun in South Carolina, against a people THOUGHTS FOR VOTERS peacefully struggling for liberation from the vulgar despotism of carpet-bag thieves, the November verdict New York Sun: 3V« wish to say to tlie friends of Tilden and Reform throughout the country that they need feel no appre hensions about New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

THE RESULT IN NOVEMBER. English Views of the Chan ies in the Presidential Race. Pall Mall Gazette: The elections decided on Tuesday have made it possible to esti mate more narrowly the chances of the rival parties. The whole electoral vote of tlie thirty-eight States will be 3G9, a number equal to the aggregate representation of the States in the two houses of Congress. Mr. Tilden is nearly sure of the whole vote of the South (except South Carolina), which gives him 131 votes, and to which must now be added twenty from Indiana ar.d West Virginia. The Northwest and New Kngland will give Mr. Hayes 130 votes in all, and if we add Illinois, which is generally conceded to the Republicans, we get an average of 159, or half a dozen more than those on which Mr. Tilden can absolutely count. But then Mr, Tilden has a much better chance among the doubtful States than his Republican opponents. New Yark has thirty-five electoral votes and its satellite, New Jersey, has nine ; and these two States, if secured for Mr. Tilden on the 7th of November, would give him 195 votes, or ten more than are necessary for his nomi nation. Should lie fail in these or in either of them, he has still a chance of piecing together a majority out of the other doubtful States. There is Connecticut with six votes, which, though a New England State, las lately shown decided Democratic leanings; there is South Carolina, with seven votes, where tlie negro voters have heretofore been supreme, but where the contest in November will, according to the best accounts, be very keen; there is California, with six votes, which is likely to be followed by Oregon wiih three votes; and in both these States the declaration of the Democratic platform against Chinese immigration has withdrawn support from the Republican party. On the other hand, all these States together would not give the Republicans a majority if New York and New Jersey “go Democratic;’’and briefly it may be said that if Mr. Tilden secures the vote of his own State next month he may reeon upon a victory along the whole line. London Standard The fact that Mr. Til den is ten sure votes ahead, and that the greatest of the doubtful States is his own, appear to indicate that the position of the Democracy is at present by far the more hopeful; and as the restoration of tlie South and the regeneration of public morality in the North are bound up with the victory of tlie Democrats, we cannot out hope that the present augury may be fulfilled. London Times. If Mr. Tilden secures his own State of New York, as is most probable, he will need only four votes to win, and, with the chances, or something more, of victory in New Jersey and Connecticut, his party may well be jubilant at the prospect ot leaving, after a long and dreary exile,the cold shade of opposition. London News: Even Republicans will admit that,should the issue be against them, the trained poliiical intelligence and official experience of the Democratic candidate will favpr of than against good government at home and peace abioad. ay prove the practical annihilation of the Republican party. At all events, no future political event can be more cer tain than the inauguration of a reform Administration on the 4th of March 1877- We verily believe that in less than one montii after Mr. Tilden's election the great majority of honest Republi cans will themselves be fully satisfied with the result. To promote this amia ble feeling on th-ir part, we will tell them now what will be done by his Ad ministration. The ordinary expenses of the Gov ernment will be reduced during the next fiscal year to an extent which will be literally amazing to those eredul ns citizens who have been putting their faith in the wild figures of tin. Grant Administration, 'file present House of Representatives have reduced the ap propriations 830.000.000 below those of .ast year, a*.d $60,000,000 below the estimates of Grant’s secretaries. With Tilden in the White House, this enor mous saving call easily be d oibied. The Rings, which practically govern the oouairy, and prey upon evciy depart- tr.ent under Grant, will he slavered into atoms under Tilden. Bristow’s whiskey war, which cost him his standing in the party of Grant and Hayes, will seem like an insignificant skirmish be tide the grand crusade of j ilden and | j ililon s ministers against II the cor- I nipt Rings from Maine to-Tex.-s. 'j he I credit of the Government will he in stantly and Continuously strengthened, 'flic honest and economical administra tion which husbands the resources of the country, instead of squanderin them, must necessarily raise the public credit. Besides, Mr. Tilden is himself an experienced and eminently conser vative financier, and under him it is to be hoped that our crude and ill-adjust ed system of taxation will undergo a thorough and scientific revision. The South will be tranquillized by the uew message of peace anu good will to the taxpayers, and of warning to tlie thieving carpet-baggers, which will be conveyed in the simple telegraphic ails nounet merit, cf 31 r. Tilden’s election. We shall hear no more reports of cruel persecution and lawless violence. The outrage mill will cease to grind and the voice of the carpet-bagger crying for troops will be hushed forever. The color line will fadeaway; the waste •dace of that rich section will ajjain become fruitful; and the g-nerai busi ness of the country will rise with the rising of the prostrate States. Thus shall we crown the Centennial year by the restoration of peace, liberty, and the natuial conditions of material prosperity to every part ol the Union.—N. Y. Sun. A dispatch from New York says the torchlight procession in that city last week was the giandest overseen. "Sixtv thousand Democrats were in line.. DEMORALIZED CONKLING. Washington', Oct. 24.—Senator Conkling had a long conference with Secretary Chan dler to-day. He is completely demoralized, lie came here especially to give Grant ihe true inwardness of the campaign in New York, and rather startled tlie entire Cabinet with tlie announcement that he saw but little hope. He very confidentially told several friends that Morgan, nominee for Governor, had actually refused to contribute further for campaign purposes, representing that he was restrained by his wife. It ap pears that Chandler demanded an assess ment of S50,000 from Morgan and his wife having a keen appreciation of the situation, knowing the odds against her husband, in duced him to itFFrsE to HEsroxn. This is known to Whitelaw Reid, of the Tribune, who has written to a friend here deprecating the course Morgan has taken. Lieutenant-Governor Thomas L. Young, of Ohio, and Collector Weitzel, of Cincinnati, were in town to-day. Y'oung threw the Radicals into great consternation. In con versation with a friend he made the state ment that Tilden was just as likely to carry Ohio as Hayes, and judging from the way in which the tide was turning, he believed Tilden had the best chances. The New York Herald ofthe24fch inst., in speculating upon the possibili ties as to the Cabinet of '.he respective candidates for the Presidency, put3 down the names of Gen. Gordon and A vote for Whiteley is an endorsement of the Civil Rights Biff. Hon. Smith, Ely, Jr., will be the next Mayor of New York. California and Oregon are sure to «- 0 for Tildei? and reform. Grant will be sorry for issuing that proclamation when he gets sober. Vote for Tilden and secure honest gov ernment, peace and prosperity. Vote for Smith and you may rest as sured your confidence will not be misplac ed. Next Tuesday is election day. Demo crats are you ready ? Let every man be on the alert-. A vote for Whiteley is a vote to susta n Grant and the Republican party in all their infamy. Election next Tuesday; Democrats to the polls; the right must win ; to work, then, patriots! Colored men who vote the Democratic ticket shall be protected from both insult <tnd violence. Let every man keep cool on Tuesday. Work—work hard—but keep cool and don’t get excited. If the Republicans don't win, they wil] ut least have acquired a high degree of proficiency in lying end whistling. Let the various clubs in Decatur see to it that every voter goes to the polls on Tuesday. All we need to carry the coun ty is for all the Democrats to turn out. “Keep the thieves out and the South can pay its own debts.” So said a trans parency carried by the Central Democratic- Club, in Cincinnati, hist Monday night. There’s good sense in that. One of the main issues in this campaign is whether the people are to be hereafter governed by the bayonet or the ballot. We are confident that the ballot will win the day.—AT. Y. San. Colored people, look at the condition of Radical South Carolina, then look at Democratic Georgia. Which do you, as free men, prefer, Radical "bloodshed and ruin, or Democratic peace and prosperity? Thomasville Times: If Whiteley is not beaten and badly beaten in Thomas coun ty we’ll agree to . Well, we’ll acknowledge that our knowledge of local affairs is extremely limited. Whilst the government is disarming the Rifle Clubs in Soutli Carolina, it. leaves 40,000 stands of arms in the hands of the negroes. O, what a farce of free govern ment, Tlie Atlanta Times says; “Tlie Repub licans have evidently made lip their mind to throw up the Hayes and Wheeler sponge, and concentrate all their strength on the Fifth and Second Congressional Districts-” William E- Smith if elected in Congress, will support only simon pure Democratic measure. Whiteley would support <t»e« Civil Rights Bill, or any other measure which would degrade and humble South ern white men. Senator Morton, in his Indianapolis speech ill the commencement of the pres ent campaign, tohl his hearers that tin- election of Williams as Governor of In- | diana in October meant the iitaugurutinu j of TiLlen and Hendricks in March 1877. f Benjamin F. Butler, it-, li'.s speech at I Andover, Mass., on the loth inst., said; j “The elections of the past week show that there is to be a contest of the most determined character; a contest which i- doubtful. I say it frankly, Mr- Tilden's election is not impossible; nay, not im probable.” Senator Thurman is icportcd to have written to a friend in Washington that if the Democrats had not from the start con ceded Ohio to the Republicans as a matter of course,the latter could not have carried it. He also expresses the confident opinion that Ohio will go Democratic in Novem ber. Tlie Baker County editor of tlie Mitchell Reformer says: “1 think we will give Smith, Tilden and Hendricks a handsome majority on the 7th of November next, notwithstanding the split in county af fairs. The white vote of this county is solid for Smith, Tilden and Hendricks and wiil work against slippery Richard and Rutherford B. Grant, No. 2.” It should be remembered by the tax payers of the country that if the Demo crats had a majority in the Senate the ex penses of the Government would have been reduced forty, instead of thirty mil lion dollars. So that tlie people gained thirty million dollars by electing a Demo cratic House, and lost ten million dollars by not having a Democratic Senate. The Washington Chronicle thus speaks: Ben Hill wiil be back from Georgia, and we donbt whether any muzzle can be found strong enough to keep him silent. Little Sunset, we fear, will be as noisy and impudent as before, and neither the polished elo quence, the graceful rhetoric, nor the poetical patriotism of Garfield, nor the refined wit of Hurlburt will avail much against, them To meet such men these we want the trenchant blade of Ben. Butler’s tongue—no courtly, dain ty rapier, Ben Butler, and he alone of ail the loyal politicians can cope with Ben Hill. Pit them against each oth er in the house and it will be such duel as has never before been fought upon that h storic floor. The Gainesville (Fla.) Citizen is a Radical sheet of the most filthy stripe, and worst of all it is edited by a woman. Heavens and earth ' a woman editing a Radical newspaper, and the vilest kind at that. This is what we would call the Citizen : a highly-seen ted mis sive of the meanest kind of meanest Florida Radicalism,. printed by a car pet-bagger and edited by a shrew. But CD Q-'i O KS&SBI 0 Hon.
