THE EAGLE. Friday Morning, September 15, 1876. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET For President: SAMUEL J. TILDEN, OF NEW YORK. For Vice President: THOS. A. HENDRICKS, OF INDIANA. For Governor : Gen. A. H. Colquitt. For Oongresiis Ninth Congressional District : Xlotl. 18. FBI. Hill. The arrest of Tweed at the Spanish fort of Vigo is confirmed. He fled to Spain from Cuba and the Captain- General telegraphed to have him ar rested. He will be turned over to the American Government. The Germans, who are Democrats this year, are strong in numbers. They have in round numbers twenty thous and votes in Indiana, fifty thousand votes in Ohio, fifty thousand in Wis consin and sixty thousand in illinois. Alabama and Arkansas both show unmistakably that the negroes have at length formed a just estimate of their Republican rulers, and that, if permit ted the free expression of their will, they will assist in removing corrupt officials from power. Col. Allen D. Candler is triumphing over all opposition in Hall county for the Legislature. The county will hon or herself by returning him. Georgia cannot afford to dispense with the ser vices of such men at this critical time in x.er history.—Atlanta Common wealth. The Executive Committee of the Democratic party of Wisconsin have requested Governor Smith to speak at Milwaukee and Madison. We regret that Gov. Smith is unable to accept the invitation; but the compliment paid in extending it, will be very grati fying to all Georgians.—Augusta Chronicle. Au independent candidate has one or two purposes to serve. The gratifi cation of a personal ambition or the gratification of a personal spite.— Whenever you see one running, you can safely conclude that his soul is filled by a big idea of his own glory or else it is embittered with|a dead ly hate toward a man or set of \men. — In either case he is not a mau to be trusted. —Rome Courier. The Democracy of Ohio are catch ing the Indiana fever, and getting to work in splended temper. All the di visions in the party are healed. Thur man and Ewing, Payne and Pendle ton, the Cleveland Plaindealer and the Cincinnati Enquirer are nobly striving to see which can best serve the cause of Tilden and reform. This State was counted certain for Hayes. It is now honestly doubtful. Unless the tide turns, by October it will be Democra tic by tens of thousands. Secretary Chandler has returned to Washington and resumed his official duties, as well as his patriotic interest of guiding the national Republican party in such groves as may seem to him surest to lead to victory. As chair man of the Republican executive com mittee he has scanned the field care fully, and says: “I am content with what is being aiid will be done; every thing is moving in excellent order.” All of which,as far as the South is con cerned, means more troops. Col. Langston, of Hall county, has withdrawn from the race for Represen tative. He is a gentleman of a high order of intellect,- and would have rep resented his county well. Col. Can dler seems to have the inside track, and old Hall could not do better than to return him for the third term. He is a good Legislator, honest, ener getic, and watchful of the interest of his immediate section; he maintained himself well, and made oue of the mOst efficient members from upper Georgia.—Gwinnett Herald. Gen. Sherman declines to speak at Republican political meetings, and says he shall devote the remainder of his days to his profession. We sup pose he means the profession of arms, though at one time the people down this way thought he was a graduate of some incendiary and poultry stealing college. We hope he don’t intend to devote himself to the latter any more, if he does, good bye gin houses and chicken coops, and farewell lambs, pigs and yearling heifers.—Griffin News. Already has the despicable work commenced in the South. In Ala bama objectionable citizens, who are considered likely to support Tilden and Hendrick, are being hurried out of the way, upon warrants issued against them for false and trumped up charges. This is one of the most despicable ways by which a Govern ment can try to perpetuate its power, and those who adopt these measures, cannot wonder when their names are received with marks of contempt and derision whenever they are men tioned. Political Morals. Since “the party of great morals ideas” has been in power, they seem to have adopted the idea that every thing is fair in politics. “Everything is fair in love and war,” was the old maxim; but they have amended it.— The most damaging falsehoods are re sorted to for the purpose of defeating an opponent. The fairest reputations are blackened with calumny. Men who have grown hoary in the service of their country, and whose highest aspiration for a life-time has been to promote the public good are not spared. They are traduced and ma ligned without mercy. To such an extent has this evil grown that thou sands of the best men in the country have been driven out of or deterred from entering public life. The mo ment a man becomes a candidate for a position of honor and trust at that moment he becomes an object for the shafts of slander and vituperation.— Cross-road politicians and hireling newspaper scribblers at once put upon him ahd hound him down to the day of his election, when he again becomes a respected citizen and no one utters a syllable of reproach against him until he happens again to be in the way of the scheming and unscrupulous profes sional politicians, when he is again held up to his countrymen as a vile wretch, guilty of every crime known in the political calendar. This disposition to misrepresent and slander political opponents, is one of the crying sins of the age. It is doing more in this country to shake the con fidence of the people in their govern ment than all other causes. The peo ple have become so accustomed to hearing their public servants abused that many of them have concluded that all who hold office are dishonest; that to give a man an office makes him a thief. Such was not the case in the better days of the Republic. There were parties then, but they were ac tuated by no such devilish spirit as moves the professional politician now, but by a spirit of generous rivalry— such a spirit as prompted Adams to characterize Jefferson, his rival, as the “Colossus of Liberty.” We publish in this issue the master ly address of Col. Geo. N. Lester, the Chairman of the State Executive Com mittee, and commend it to the careful consideration of every patriot. The picture is not over-drawn. This year is fraught with events which involve the fate of the nation. A perpetuation of Radical rule means empire and the loss of every vestige of that liberty bequeathed to us by our ancestors. The triumph of Democracy means a return to prosperity and the methods of peace. It means low taxes, honesty in official position, and the supremacy perpetuity of the Constitution of our fathers. Let every freeman go to the polls and vote, and not stop with this, but get his neighbor to go and vote the Democratic ticket. Thus and thus only can the nation be redeemed. Gen. A. H. Colquitt and Col. Geo. N. Lester are now on a tour through the upper part of the State. They spoke at Dawsonville, Dawson county, on Tuesday last; at Jasper, Pickens coun ty, on Thursday. Will speak to-day at Ellijay, Gilmer county; to-morrow, (the 16th) at Morgan, Fannin county; Monday, the 18th, at Blairsville, Union county; Tuesday, the 19th, at Hiwas see, Towns county; Thursday, the 21st, at Cleveland, White county; Friday, the 22d, at Dahlonega, Lumpkin coun ty; Saturday, the 23d, at Alpharetta, Milton county. The people should turn out eu masse and hear these dis tinguished speakers upon the vital issues of the day. Yellow Fever. This scourge in Savannah, we re gret to state, instead of abating, is still on the increase, and in a very malignant form. On Thursday two hundred and sixty new cases were re ported—deaths thirty-six. All business is suspended, and great destitution prevails among the poorer classes. The stong appeals that are being made for aid should not go un heeded, but every one should contrib ute something to alleviate the suffer ing and distress in the stricken city. In answer to the inquires of an in terviewer as to what he thought of Attorney General Taft’s late order turning over the South to military law, Senator Bayard, of Delaware, said: “No document so partisan in character, so reckless of all constitu tional limitations upon power, so re gardless of historical truth, so utterly insubordinate to the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, has in the history of our country issu ed from a department: not only acting as all departments should act, under the sanction of law, but looked to by all other departments of the execu tive as itself the fountain of law for them.” “Grammaticus” calls our attention to grammatical errors in the Atorney General’s order to the United States Marshals. If there were nothing in that document than the murder of the English language, we might for give Judge Taft. There is the mur der of American citizens in it, and that is beyond forgiveness.—Baltimore Gazette. The Baltimore Gazette says there is startling distress in that city. Thous ands of persons are suffering for the necessaries of life, and some are actu ally on the verge of starvation. The Charleston Riot. On the night of the 6th instant, the city of Charleston barely escaped one of the most bloody riots of this riotous age. The outbreak was purely politi cal in its origin, but the Radical ne groes and their black-hearted white allies were the aggressors. It seems that in Charleston, as everywhere else in the South, the more intelligent and order-loving negroes are abandoning the Radical party and forming Demo cratic clubs. This does not suit the villainous carpet-bag crew that have used the negro to oppress the white men in down-trodden Charleston for ten years, and they instigated and urged on the negro rabble of the city to break up the meetings of these clubs. The white Democratic clubs, to preveut their colored allies from be ing mobbed as they went home, form ed a line to escort them home. The rioters were posted at every street corner, and assailed the. Democrats with brickbats, stones, knives, pistols, and every kind of weapon attainable. During the entire night King street, the main thoroughfare of the city, was in the possession of the rioters, and no white man dared show his face. When day dawned every pane of glass on the street was broken; the pavement was stained with blood, and here and there revolvers were picked up all along the street, showing where the black rioters had held high carnival. At last accounts quiet had been re stored; but both parties were armed and organized. The whites are not aggressive, but they are determined. They will act only on the defensive, but they are determined that the ac cursed carpet-bagger and his ignorant and brutal negro dupe, shall no longer run riot in Charleston. In the riot many were wounded— mostly whites—and two were killed. Gov. Chamberlain has issued the fol lowing proclamation, dated Charleston, S. C., September 9th: “Whereas, information has reached me that a serious riot occurred in the city of Charleston on the night of the 6th inst., resulting in the death of one person and the wounding and injur ing of several more; and whereas much excitement still exists in that city, and fears are entertained that the public peace will be further distur bed: “Now, therefore, I, Daniel H. Cham berlain, Governor of said State, do proclaim my purpose to preserve the public peace of said city by all the powers at my command, and to secure every man, of whatever political party, the right to speak, act and vote freely and safely without constraint or dan ger, in the present political campaign, and I admonish all my fellow-citizens again that violence begets violence, that freedom of speech and ol political action are sacred rights which, can never be trampled on without rousing a spirit of vengeance and retaliation. I therefore most earnestly implore all the citizens of Charleston to rely orf the law for their sole protection, and to do no act which shall not be within the sanction of the law and its officers. Especially do I discountenance and foibid the presence upon the streets of bodies of men,whether organized or not, armed with deadly weapons, or weapons or clubs of any kind, and I call on the officers of the city and the State to be prompt and vigorous in checking all such demonstration of violence and lawlessness and enforcing the law for the protection of all citi zens in their political rights. The spirit of political intolerance in all its forms is the direct cause which now oppresses our State, and peace and prosperity will never come until that foul spirit is finally exorcised. Every thoughtful man and every good citi zens should give his utmost influence to preserve the public peace by secur ing perfect freedom of political action. In conference with the Mayor of the city and Chief Constable of the State, all measures suitable for the protec tion of the citizens of Charleston will be taken, and all persons who have vio lated, or who shall thereafter violate the law, will be brought to trial and puuished. Mayor Cunningham issued to-night a proclamation similar in tone to that of the Governor. Sheriff Bowen, as chairman of the Republican party for Charleston coun ty, requested a party confer ence with a committee of the Execu tive Committee of the Democratic party in Charleston with a view to the concerting of measures for the preser-, vation of quiet in the city, the request was acceded to and the conference took place this evening, the Republi cans present being the Mayor and Messrs. Bowen, Taft, McKinley, Bir ney and Brodie. The result of the conference was the expression on the part of the Republicans of an unquali fied determination to prevent disor der, and to discover and arrest the persons who were the aggressors in the riot of Wednesday night. In the course of the conference it was distinctly stated by the Democratic Committee men that while they were from every consideration anxious to preserve the public peace, they were resolutely determined, no matter what the cost or consequences, that the scenes of last Wednesday night shall not be repeated. Samual J. Tilden sensibly says: “If one were to attempt to correct every ordinary en-or concerning himself which appears in print, the occasions of controversy would be inconvenient ly frequent for the avocations of a busy life. It is, the'refore, only in a very exceptional case that I should depart from my habit of leaving such errors to answer themselves, or to be refuted by my acts, or by the general tenor of my life.” Nothing like the present drought in New York State has been known for fifteen years. In many counties the grass is so completely burned up that the farmers are buying feed and cut ting up vegetables for their cows, us ing in advance for their stock the food which ordinarily comprises the winter supply. Another Falsehood. The editor of the Gainesville Souj - ron, in his issue of September 12th, sis of Col. A. D. Candler: “He is too a ~ as most little men are, to think that e can put ou his little sharp spurs a I ride rough-shod over the world in i few minutes, as he thought in the vt ■, and because Alex. H. Stephens t and Ben Hill told him he couldn’t do itjie hates them, and especially the latir, to this day.” I Now, if the editor of the Soutlrin was as diligent in hunting for trutliis he is in hatching up falsehoods vfth which to damage Colonel Candler |id every other gentlemen who happem-Ho think for himself, he would find fcjiat he did not differ from Messrs. Stejhens and Hill on the question of secetslsn, nor hate them for their views, buifon the contrary he regarded them as the two greatest Southern intellects. He preached their doctrine and praciled their precepts. He believed then .nd believes to-day, and has never iesi tated to express the belief that ®ey were right and that secession wjg a mistake. After secession was an accomplished fact, and the war was inevitable,*he entered the Confederate army is a private soldier and did his whole tjaty to the close of the war. He fought as long as Lee said fight, and suirei*- dered when Lee said surrender, *ud this is the head and front of his offend ing—this is the real reason of the Gainesville Southron’s opposition to him. •That paper seems to make it a joint to oppose in the most violent and un scrupulous manner every man who wore the grey. Ho wages war upon Gov. Smith, and upon Gen. Colquitt, and upon Col. Candler, and we Have no doubt he would wage war upon Washington himself, if he had been alive and had been (as no doubt he would have been) on the Confederate side. No, no, Mr. Southron, this subter fuge is too thin. You can’t dodge the issue in that way. You first arrayed a catalogue of charges as long as the hundred and nineteenth psalm against Col. Candler as a legislator, and he met your charges before the people ■with the record, and they into nothingness, and now you try to make a false issue and put him in the atti tude of an enemy to Messrs. Hill and Stephens; but the facts rise .up and strike you square in the face as before and contradict you. There are too many of the wearers of the grey in Hall county for your sort to dictate who shall hold the offices. They are loyal to the country and true to one another. Qjjib. Catechism. Sporroß Evgle: I wish f to plain questions : Q. Was the Southron’s candidate for Governor a rebel soldier ? Q. Did the Southron favor any one for Governor who was ever a soldier ? Q. Was the Southron’s candidate for the Legislature a soldier? Q. Was the man whom the Southron so bitterly opposes for Representative a soldier? Q. Was the Southron’s candidate for Representative milk and cider just after the war? Q Did the Southron’s candidate ever say he has no fight to make on Union Leagues ? Q. Did any other paper except the pious (?) Brownlow’s ever have as much disgraceful slang as the South ron has? Q. Is it not funny that it takes a mau from the other aide to tell what Southerns want and should do? Q. Does the name “Southron” suit the principles it advocates? Q. Has the editor of the Southron turned doctor, that he should de nounce as demented baboons the ex cellent physicians who say there is yellow fever in Gainesville? Q. Is the Southron to run the Mayor’s office and say what that officer shall or shall not do ? Q. Is the Southron to run the Notary Public’s office, that he should denounce that venerable Christian gentleman, Col. E. M. Johnson, for a simple legal duty ? Q. Is it right for honest public officers, acting under oath, to be de nounced by men who have no regard for churches, morals, piety, religion or truth, who can sportively bandy the terms used in Scripture in reference to St. Paul’s conversion? . Q- If it be true that “whom the gods would destroy they first make mad,” is not destruction near to the South ron ? Q. Who knows best how to teach Southern men physic, law, gospel, education, municipal powers, and who to vote for, Georgians or Miuneso ans ? John Doe. A republican paper says the hard times make it hard for its party to get up campaign steam. No doubt of it. And why shouldn’t this be the effect? Don’t the people know who have been stealing and squandering their earn ing ?—Portland Argus. The New York dry goods importa tions for August were nine and a half millions, against over fourteen mil lions each for the month of August last year and the year before, An immence Democratic meeting was held in Spartanburg, S. C., Satur day. Six thousand persons were pres ent. Among the speakers was Sena tor Gordon, of Georgia. The public debt decreased during August $1,119,369. Special Correspondence of flic Eagle. Washington, September 9, 1876. The official guillotine continues slow ly but surely to perform its task.— Twenty-nine clerks in the third audi tor’s office of the treasury department were dismissed on the Bth inst. When Congress determined to reduce the clerical force iu the departments, it was generally supposed that the widows and orphans of soldiers and sailors, who had fallen in their coun try’s service, would have the prefer ence for retention; but such is not the case. Availability in the pending cam paign is the standard by which all are measured. What service can he or she render the party iu this its hour of trial? How will his or her removal offset the influence which has placed them here ? These are the questions and the answers to determine who shall go and who shall be retained. One of the ladies recently discharged from the quartermaster general’s office, is the widow of an army officer, a gra duate of West Point and brevetted major general for gallant and merito rious services on the field, as the records of the war department will show. The death of her husband left her penniless, and she is dependent upon her salary alone for subsistence. This is certainly a hard case; but it does not stand alone. Numbers of ex officers and soldiers have been dis charged simply because they claimed the District of Columbia as their place of residence, and of course bad no vote, nor could they command any political influence. It is a matter of record that this District in proportion to its population furnished more troops than any other part of the country. But the clerks whose homes are here could render the party no services in this campaign, and that settled the ques tion of their dismissal or retention. Gen. Sherman will leave the city to morrow to join Secretary Cameron in their tour of inspection through the West. The trains entering the city are filled with our returning citizens who have been spending the summer iu the country, or at the watering places. It will not be surprising to the pub lic to know that General Geo. B. Mc- Clellan has decided to vote for Tilden in the coming election. In a letter an nouncing his intention to do so, he has the frankness to say that he has the highest respect for the personal character and intelligence of Governor Hayes. The Republicans are jubilant over the refusal of Mr. Seymour to accept the nomination for Governor of New York, and argue therefrom the hap piest results. Their ill-timed joy clear ly evinces the latent fear which op presses them in that State Since Mr. Seymour’s health positively forbids him to seek the position, there is little fear that the Democracy will not find a mau equally acceptable as Mr. Sey mour, and who will accomplish all that was expected of that gentleman. The capitalists of the country are beginning to move solidly for Tilden and Hendricks. As the standard bearers of the Democracy, they have already the working men on their side. In the last national canvass the moneyed interests of the country were all against Mr. Greeley. They were afraid to trust a man of his erratic tendencies in the executive chair, and the national banks ami other institu tions subscribed large amounts of money to aid in his defeat. This year the situation is entirely reversed. Mr. Tilden is a rich man himself, and every one has confidence that he will not do anything to injure the financial interests of the country. The feeling is growing every day that the policy of the party in power is disastrous to the business interests of the whole people, especially that part of it which affects the South, and hence the desire for a change. This is perfectly natural and is sound political economy. The South is the principal producer, and of course she is a consumer in the exact ratio of her production. If she is kept in a condition of constant revolution and disturbances by cor rupt politicians and demagogues, she can never be prosperous, and the pros perity of the South is essential to the prosperity of the North, and it will be exceedingly fortunate for the whole country, should a party come into power who will take this plain and practical view of the situation. Reno. The New York papers speak hope fully of a revival in nearly all branches of trade. The cheapening of coal, the renewal of work in many of the large manufacturing districts, the somewhat higher prices for certain lines of goods, indicate that there is cause to hope for better times this winter than last. Should a general European war break out, all American industries will speedily revive, the unemployed will find work, and America and her peo ple will be substantially benefitted.—- This is all theoretical. The masses of the people have but one good reason to be encouraged. They confidently hope for a change of Aministration next year, which will give us all that peace and security which we have been bereft of since the war. With an hon est man in the White House, a Senate that will imitate the example of the Democratic House of Representatives in reducing taxation and public ex penditures, the people of this country can but witness anew era of happi ness and prosperity.—Cincinnati En quirer. There are no signs of the war-like j spirit abating in Servia. Uur New York Letter. New Yoke, September 9, 1867. GOLD. Gold advanced to-day to 1.10 on the news of the disturbances in Charles ton, South Carolina. Large opera tors, especially the branches of large foreign houses, view with the greatest apprehension any indication of disturb ance of the public peace. COTTON, RICE AND SUGAR. The Charleston news also had a marked effect on the markets for Southern staples. Cotton, rice and sugar were unsettled, and gave indica tions of panic. The strikes of the la borers on the rice plantations near Beaufort, at the demand of political leaders, were feared to be indications of a suspension of work on the planta tions of sufficient extent to seriously disturb the gathering of crops, and the markets here and abroad. THE VERMONT ELECTION. The result iu Vermont is very fa vorable to the Democrats. Not only have the Republicans, ou an immense ly increased vote, failed to maintain their proportionate gain, but they have absolutely fallen below their ma jority of the last four Presidential years. In 1868 Grant’s majority was 32,122, and in 1872 he carried the State by 30,554. In 1864, the Republican majority was 29,095, and iu 1860 the plurality of Lincoln over Douglas was 26,959, the united votes of Brecken ridge and Bell being only 2,187. The present majority is about 23,000. The Republicans have, therefore, in a vote 10,000 greater than ever cast hereto fore, not merely failed to hold their percentage of the increased vote, but have actually fallen 9,000 behind their record of previous years. In 1868 tlieir majority was 57 per cent, of the total vote cast. In 1876, their majori ty is only about 23 per cent of the to tal vote. In other words their pre ponderance has decreased since 1868 in the ratio of from two to one. Like results elsewhere will give the country overwhelmingly to Tilden and Hen dricks. THE WEST IN OCTOBER. In general estimation here the Wes tern States are more likely to be affec ted by the causes which produce Democratic gains than the extreme Eastern States. For example, Indiana is evidently in a contest for change under the pressure of hard times, a more reliable indication than Ver mont. Iu Vermont, with its settled ways and comparatively slight connec tion with the driving life of the coun try, and the assured predominance of one party, there is much less likeli hood of a proportionate political revolution than in Indiana, where in dustry is struggling for profitable development., and where the closeness of party margins gives to the contest the c-liarm of possible success for eith er contestant. If then, the Vermont election foreshadows a Democratic triumph, we may expect much more decisive figures from the West, MONDAY IN MAINE. Politicians here are generallv wait ing to hear from Maine. If the Re publicans fail to hold their average Presidential majority of 18,000 there, they must surrender all hope of victory in the National contest, If on the other hand, they hold their own there, it will argue nothing against the prob abilities of a Democratic victory in the West. THE CHARLESTON HORROR. The Charleston news overshadows all other topics here. 1 The fact that the first act of “intimidation” worthy of note was not intimidation cfl Repub licans by Democrats, but of Democrats by Republicans, is remarkable. The occurrence of the riot just after Chamberlin had notified his adherents that he had shipped them twenty thousand muskets, and that he “was done with reform” marks it as a de liberate attempt to forward partisan ends by inciting civil war. Republi cans regard the affair as a mistake, because the wrong people were intimi dated. The Democrats denounce it as a desperate attempt of the radicals to check the general stampede of the ne groes away from the control of the black leagues and scalawags to the Democratic party which protects their rights, and secures to them a chance for prosperity and advancement. The Charleston outrage will undoubtedly add 10,000 to the Democratic vote in New York, and have a proportionate effect in other States. UNITED STATES TROOPS SOUTH. The most noticeable fact in this hor rible affair is that the troops sent to Charleston to help the radicals gave protection to the hunted colored Demo crats. In this case the Republicans were “hoist by their own petard.”— The general opinion here is that the whole Southern military programme of the Administration will only result in increasing the Tilden vote, because the numbers of colored Democrats will rely on the troops for protection in the hour of need. Occasional. Governor Hubbard, of Texas, was born in Jasper county, Georgia. He weighs over 300 pounds and is said to make the best Executive that State ever had. The citizens of Philadelphia have held a meeting to aid the yellow fever sufferers in Savannah. One thousand dollars were subscribed. Gen. Huger assumed command of the Department of the south on the 3th. His headquaters will be moved to Atlanta in a few days. Wendell Philips says every postmas ter should be elected by the men who take their letters from the postoffice. A special dispatch from Washington | to the New York World conveys the following information: “Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina. ha3 just returned from another visit to this city to confer with the authorities upon sending troops to that State. The Governor was noisy in his denunciations of such men as Haskell, Hampton, Gary, ex-Gov. Per ry and others, whom he charges are on the eve of precipitating another re bellion. He makes the idle boast that he has proof that Butler and Hamp ton were at the head of the Hamburg riot, and that he expects in less than two months to have them tried. The Governor declared to a prominent South Carolina politician last night that he was done with reform talk, and hereafter the Legislature would find no barrier in him. The Governor has made arrangements to have twenty thousand stands of arms sent down to arm the blacks. The arms will be landed in Charleston on the 11th in stant, the day previous to the meeting of the Radical Convention. Really, the Reformer is going ra ther rapidly since his coalition with Patterson. He has become as great a liar as Ananias and as blood thirsty as Wendell Phillips. If it be true that the reformer has made ar rangements to place arms in the hands of twenty thousand blacks in order that they may murder the whites, we sincerely hope that ho may be in duced to lead the assassins in person— that is all.—Augusta Chronicle. The Indians of the Red Cloud agen cy are in want of food and are report ed to be in excellent condition for treating. Judge Colquit of Jackson county, has an orchard from which he expects to gather 5,000 bushels of apples this seasou. W. L. Goodwin, of Bartow, an nounces himself as an independent re publican candidate for congress in the 7th district. The campaign against Sitting Bull having closed for the season, that against the South will shortly com mence. A colored Tilden and Hendricks club iu Augusta now numbers nearly one hundred members. The Arkansas Legislature, Senate and House, is almost entirely Demo cratic. The stealings of the whisky thieves during Grant’s administration has been over $800,000,000. Charles Francis Adams has been nominated by the Democrats for Gov ernor of Massachusetts. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Mu. Editor: Please anuouuce the name ol M. B.
