BEX. E. RUSSELL, Editor-
Bainbridge, Georgia Dec. 7, 1876.
EDITORIAL NOTES-
The President’s Message has been
sent to Congress. It makes no men*
tion of the political situation.
The Darien Gazette says that Mr.
J. C. Harris made the Savannah News
what it is. We always had a notion
that J. H. Estill had a hand in that
business.
AVc thank God for such men as
Wade Hampton of ’South Carolina and
John B. Gordon of Georgia. They
are truly the twin brothers of American
Liberty.
Hon. Jefferson Davis has returned
from his European trip, and the New
York Times cries out “another rebel
lion !” oC~L-.se .Radi
cals ain’t afraid of Jeff /Mavis’ shadow
yet.
The Jacksonville (Fla.) Union is one
of the dirtiest of Radical papers, and
■would’nt tell the truth under any cir
cumstances but it is very readable nev
ertheless. If Hayes is “counted in,”
Bill Dockary ought to have a suit of
old clothes by all means.
Samuel Pasco, of Jefferson connty.
Florida, Chairman of the State Demo
cratic Committee, will yet be Governor
of “the Land of Flowers.” He is one
of the ablest and most brilliant men in
the South, and the future is pregnant
with honors for him.
We don’t think the Georgia Senate
could do a more graceful thing than to
elect ey-Senator W. A. Harris, of
Worth county, Secretary. Mr. Harris
is one of the truosts Dcpiocrats in
Georgia aod in every way capable of
the position.
The Valdosta Times lias arisen from
its ashes, and is as sprightly and vigor
ous as ever. We congratulate Pendle
ton upjn his quick recovery from the
ravages of the fire fiend, and trust that
he may never more be subjected to ill-
fortune-in any shape again.
As wc have before stated, we are not
not at all anxious to have Norwood
succeeded in the United States Senate,
but we would rather see Ben Hill in
Vhat'body than any man in the coun
try. Ben Hill is an intellectual giant,
and whe.n he speaks the world stops to
listen. . ; .) -
Congress mot on Monday. Hon. S.
J. Randall was elected Speaker of the
House of Representatives. Commit
tees have be ;n sent to Florida, South
Carolina and Louisiana to investigate
the election frauds. The fate of the
country depends upon this session of
Congress and we do hope that the
wisest counsel will prevail.
4 J. Madison Wells, the oldest and
meanest abortion that Reconstruction
foisted upon the people of Louisiana,
now Chairman of the infamous Return
ing Board, says that he “has not long
to live, and is determined to see a fair
count of the vote.” It is understood
that he has applied for a .position on
Hell’s Returning Board, and the Devil
is exceedingly fearful of being “count
ed out” when J. Madison gets there.
When the ‘ Sunny South” was start
ed in Atlanta, its proprietor appealed
to and secured the aid of the country
press. Every paper in Georgia publish
eff itg prospectus and heartily commend-
ed.the enterprise. In consequence the
Sunny” South was firmly established.
nr.d r at a hound, placed on the high
road to prosperity. The Sunny South
now ignores its old friends and won't
even exchange with them. “Sich is
life.”
War! who said it? who wants it ?
Why the sutlers and hummers who fol
lowed in the rear of both armies during
“the late unpleasantness.” They are the
chaps, together with the bomb-proof
politicians. We slept with a Spring-
field rifle for four years, travelled thous
ands of miles upon our “mammy’s
colts,” got half-rations and tried to stop
innumerable Yankee bullets, and there
wasn’t a bit of fun in it. We are for
peace—“sweet wiBged peace.”
THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT-
It is announced that the face of the
returns it*. Florida gives tlayes 43 majori
ty. The Republican organs declare at
onee that the State is sure for Hayes, and
that the fa«e of the returns must be ac
cepted as final. The face of the returns
in Louisiana give Tilden that Slate by
al'out 8,000 majority, but our Republican
prints fail to see that the face of the re
turns settle it in that case.
TILDEN “COUNTED OUT-”
The Returning Boards of Florida
and Louisiana completed their infa
mous work on Wednesday last by overs
riding the will of the majority and
‘coanting in’ the minority electors and
gubernatorial candidates. Florida gave
Tilden a:.d Drew a majority of 1200
votes yet she is “counted” for Hayes
and Stearns by 960. Louisiana gave
Tilden and Nicholis a fair majority of
9000 votes but the infernal scoundrels
composing the “Returning Board”
declare Hayes and Packard elected.
This danmnabla action was expected,
hut that expectatian has robbed it of
not one iota of the infamy and corrup
tion with which it is reeking. Words
are inadequate to express the foulness
of this outrage, and Hell is too good for
its vile perpetrators.
The action of these miserable rascals
gives Hayes the Electoral College by
one majority, hut if lie is the gentleman
he is ^presented to be ho would die a
dozen deaths rather than aec pt a po
sition so thoroughly and openly saturat
ed in fraud. But we opine that be will
never be called upon to accept it. Con
gress will investigate these Returning
Board outrages and see that whoever is
fairly elected shall be elected Presi
dent- In the meantime let us “possess
1 our souls in patience,” in the belief that
tl^ Right will triumph.

WOOL-HAT ADVISES THE PEO
Pi E AND OUR NEW GOVER
NOR.
Pauper’s Hill, Worth Co, Ga, j
October 20th, 1876. J
Editors Albany News:
The smoke o. one battle has cleared
away, and we, the Democratic party,
are gloriously victorious, but the Radi
cals are rallying for the big fight on
the 7th of November next, and unless
we are active and vigilant, see that
every man is at his post, we may meet
defeat. Tilden is our leader in the
coming contest, supported by General
Colquitt and Win. E. Smith, as color
hearers. General Colquitt will soon be
inaugurated Governor of his native
State. Georgia. And I do hope and
trust that he will prove himself as great
in the Executive chair as he was in the
tented field. lie sill, have a great
deal to try his patience as Executive
Hundreds of applications for office, far
more than there are offices to fill, and
each applicant, to let him tell it, cither
brought about his nomination or elect
ed him Governor. Of course that is as
clincher and hard to get round; such
influential men as that must have a
place; but unfortunately for Colquitt
there name is legion. Now I want
nothing, no kin that wants any, for 1
have got none, no father, no mother, no
brother, no sister, nobody but me;
when you see me you see us all ; but I
want to see Gen. Colquitt come out of
the Executive Chair as popular as he
goes in, hence, I have decided to write
and give you my crude ideas how that
can be done. It strikes me that Gen.
Colqtiittt would pursue the wisest and
most politic course by refusing to turn
out any good and faithful officer, and
appoint new ones, except Attorney
General and Private Secretary. These
ought to he his warm and personal
friends, devoted to his interests As to
other officers, I would say, I found these
gentlemen in office, they are trained to
their duties, efficient, capable and tried,
of unblemished integrity, Simon pure
Democrats, supporters of mine, why
should I dispose of hem to make way
for other friends ? The people gave me
the office as a trust, not a property; the
very platform under which I was elect
ed militates against the idea of service
etc., or making party services the test
of fitness for office. How then can I
make personal favors to myself, my as
pirations, or my ambitions a test. By
pursuing this course, he cuts the Gordi
an Knot he extricates himself from un
told embarrassments, because he cannot
hope to provide for the numerous friends
who assert claims upon him and dis
crimination among these inaugurates
disaster, not to say raia at the very in
ception of his administration, whose
earpings and bickerings will stick to
him like Nessis shirt. To its close as
I said before, I want nothing in the
gift of tlm General. I want him to
steer clear of Charibdis and Scyila. I
don’t want him cursed and abused as I
have heard that good aud great man
Governor Smith abused for naught but
appointments, and I think his appoint
ments as good as any made by other
governors who preceded him. It is
worth the office to stand the abuse of
such, and a wholesome lesson taught
some of these slanderers and back bi
ters would prove healthy. I wish for
General Colquitt a smooth sea, not a
ripple, or breaker on the surface of his
Administration. In his right hand
may he carry gentle peace to silence
envious tongues. May he be just arid
fear not; let all the ends he aim’st at
be his country’s, God’s and truths. Then
slanders will not touch him.

THE SITUATION IN FLORIDA.
Tallahassee, December 4.—Upon
the reassembling of the board this
morning, both sides asked to be alkwcd
to introduce further specifications aud
affidavits in minor points, and it was
agreed to. The understanding or agree
ment when the board adjourned on Sat
urday night was, that no further testi
mony would be introduced, • but the
reading of argument would commence
promptly this morning. Agreeable to
this and the arrangement between coun
sel, the Democrats read their argument,
consuming only the hour allowed them.
The Republicans then got the floor and
kept it by reading what purported to
be a specification, hut w'hich was in re
ality an argument, till tha hour cf ad
journment. The board then adjourn
ed till seven o’clock to-night, giving
the Republicans all the afternoon to
prepare an answer to the argument of
the Democrats. When the Republi
cans commenced to read the argument,
it was found that it had been gotten up
hastily, but entirely different from that
of the Democrats, a separate papef be
ing prepared for each county. During
its reading by Governor Noyes, of
Ohio, the door of the Secretary’s office
was opened most of the time, and the
room and entrance was crow'ded with
negroes. The Republicans still have
die floor at this writing, ten p. m., and
are introducing more witnesses.
It is now plainly evident that they
are going to make a desperate effort to
ride over the Democrats, and as the
crisis will be reached to-morrw, increas
ed excitement is noticeable on both
sides as it ap-rorches. To-morrow will
decide it all. If the Democrats sub
mit to being counted out, when they
know their standard-bearers have been
Fairly elected, and that the returns
show it even after they have been tam
pered with in many counties, peace and
quiet will prevail. If not. trouble may
be expected in Florida. I am not pre
pared to predict what the n xt twenty-
four hours may develop.
The i?aciicals of this city' are try-
ing to nominate candidates for Mayor
and Aldermen at the court house to
night, and are yelling and howling like
savages and hyenas.
Governor Brown is not out yet, hut
is still improving.

Latest From Carolina.
Columbia, December 4—The Dem
ocratic House continued in caucus all
the afternoon. Their action is uu
known.
The Republican members of the Sen
ate held a caucus previous to the regu
lar hour for the meeting of the body,
which was not harmonious and lasted
until one o’clock p. m., when the sen
ate met. The session was unimportant
until just before two p. m., when it,
was moved that the Senate adjourn.
The motion was carried by a vote of 16
ayes to 14 nays. This action is re
garded as important as two o'clock to
day was the hour set for counting the
vote for Governor, and the Senate ad
journed without considering that ques
tion, oi postponing to some future day,
it is virtually disposed oi it in that body
and must originate in tha House to
come up again.
The question now is whether the
Senate will recognize the 3Iacky House
as the Constitutional body; with a mem
bership of 56 only holding certificates
from the Board of State Canvassers of
which 63 is necessary to a quorum.
The Democrats have 60—requiring
only 3 to make a quorum.
The city to-night is full of people,
and they are still arriving.
The Supreme Court heard argument
the entere day on the application for a
mandamus, requiring the Secretary of
State to delived the returns for Gover
nor and Lieutenant-Governor, to Speak
er Wallace, and adjourned at 7:30 p.
m. until to-morrow, at 11 a. m. As the
question involves the other question, as
to which is the legal House of Repre
sentatives the action is looked forward
to with great interest.
night. The resolutions provides that
the committees proceed to the respec
tive States to investigate the recent
elections in these States, and the action
of the returning boards in reference
thereby and to report all the facts es
sential to an honest return of the votes

of by the people, and whethei the elec

BURNING OfIi AHBTOII’S HOUSE.
Scarcely without a parallel for Sendish-
ness and malice, in a civilized country,
was the attempt, a few ni hts ago, to
buin alive the two sisters and suns ot’
Gen. Bade Hampton, the Reform Gov
ernor elect of South Carolina. Passen
gers from Columbia acquaint us with
the following particulars of the horrib:e
affair.
Gen. Wade Hampton, it seems, has
has home out in the country, several
miles from C lumbia, in which city he
was staying for some weeks past, coun
seling v’irii friends and watching the
proceedings of the Returning Board,
who had charge of the election returns.
Wu.ie thus engaged in the coni me u-
dabls effort to preserve the peace aud
prevent bloodshed among the excited
factions at the State espial!, his h-.nut
was reduced to
esc 1 ;- -d with none of tueir effects and
with barely their lives. 7'he act oi the
lily a deep
ly-it a cruel
ty of heart and a fitness of pur
pose that reminds us ot the prae'503 o!
the heathenish Turks and the w.!d sav
ages of the plaius.
The dwe-'jing was saturated wirh ker
osene all around, with no avenue left
by which the inmates could escape, and
then the torch was applied. Every one
knows with what rapidity fire will
spread when fed by this combustible
oil, and the persons who concocted the
hellish plot had no desire but to see
the flames. Fortunately none of them
had retired as it was about uine o’clock,
and they thus were enabled to escape a
most awful and cruel death.—Charlotte
Observer.

cant lot in city of Bninbridg, bounded north
