which is a gain of one State. McClel
lan, the Democratic candidate in New
Jersey, is elected by 12,500 majority.
Maryland, Virginia and Mississippi

not yet determined; 15,000 majority
in the whole State vote, is claimed by
the Democrats in New York.
There are 537 working Granges in
Georgia.
Morton was buried on Monday. The
South can afford to forget him.
The Baptist Herald is the name of
another religious paper just started at
Cumming.
Mercer University has one hundred
collegians in attendance. The State
University not quite so many.
John Welsh, the newly-appointed
Minister to England, is a “merchant
prince” of Philadelphia.
Hon. Evan P. Howell is warmly
pressed Hoy his many friends in the 35th
district for re-election to the State
Senate.
Ex-Governor James M. Smith has
moved back to Columbus, and is
prominently spoken of for the State
Senato from that district.
If the Constitution, Mr. Howell and
Mr. English are content with the gush
and lick spittle they get from North
east Georgia, on the Capital question!
so be it.
The proposed amendment to disfran
chise the poor men of New Your City
is stirring up a cyclone of bad blood
It presents a square fight between cap
ital and labor.
The Franklin Register has changed
hands. J. B. Wilson, son of J. T. a
purchased, and then associated T. W.’
Ayers, as partner. Success to the new
management.
Judge Wm. M. Reese has been re
nominated for the Senate, in the 29th
District. He said he would’nt serve,
but his people say h shall, and the
probability is that he will.
Dr. Paul F. Eve, the great surgeon,
formerly of Augusta, but for some
years past a resident of Nashville, died
suddenly in the latter city on Saturday

Oar thanks are due Hon. H. P. Bell
for the able Report of the Silver Com
mittee appointed by Congress to ex
amine and report upon the best means
for facilitating the resumption of specie
payments.
Gen. A. C. Garlington is spoken of
in Atlanta as a candidate for the
House. He publishes a card, leaving
the matter to the people, and forcibly
planting himself on the “free ballot,”
or “independent” platform.
Mayor Huff is spoken of as a candi
date for the Legislature from Bibb.
That county has never sent a repre
sentative so evenly balanced or so full
of practical common sense. Huff will
be elected, if he wants to, and Georgia
will be glad of it.

Ben Hill has filed his caveat for
Conkling’s seat in the Senate Cham
ber, in 1879. Ransom, of North Car
olina, gets Morton’s seat. Well, ain’t
we “back in our father’s house ?” and
why shouldn’t we have the best seats
at his table ?
Uncle Bill Allen will not push him
self forward as a candidate for the
Senatorship in Ohio, but will do any
thing “to see the just cause of Democ
racy successful.” Verily, the old ones
are all of a pattern. We have heard
something just like that in Georgia.
Plevna is now completely invested
by the Russians, and Osman Pacha’s
surrender is but a question of time. A
dispatch from Sofia says that Chevket
Pasha is advancing to Osman’s re
lief with a strong force, but he will
have to overcome superior numbers to
reach Plevna, and that is scarcely pos
sible.
The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes
a lengthy report of the scourge among
the porkers of the West. The disease
in some parts of the States has been a
regular scourge, causing immense loss
to the farmers. It is now dying out,
but the people are advised to use some
little care in the selection of their hams
for the winter. How are we to dis
tinguish the diseased meat ?
The Telegraph & Messenger is mis
taken in its ungenerous insinuation
that Atlanta pays the country press
for publishing certain Capital matter.
She not only does not pay, but her
merchants do not even advertise with
the papers that are fighting her bat
tles, on that account. We have re
ceived one sls ad., and no more, in
recognition of a thousand dollars worth
of printer’s ink. We are for Atlanta,
nevertheless. ~
CITIZENS’ MEETING.
Grand Rally for Candler—Hall Endorses
Her Candidate for the Senate, and
Commends Him to the Dis
trict.
On Tuesday, after Sheriff Gaines
closed his sales, the announcement was
made that Hon. A. D. Candler would
address the citizens in the court house,
and the crowd at once moved up the
steps. The day was too far spent for
forms and ceremonies, and Col. Cand
ler took the stand without preliminary
or introduction. He proceeded at once
to review his political course in the
Legislature, and his services as a citi
zen to his town and his section. At
times he was terribly severe on his
“foul aspersers,infamous traducers and
villainous assailants;” and when he
reached the climax of eager revenge,
literally tore them to fragments and
scattered them on the dunghill to die
and rot of their own bad odors.
The speech was a thorough vindica
tion of the speaker’s good name and
services from the charges of his ene
mies. The charges against him were
handled frankly, boldly, and with
gloves off, and each one was dearly
demonstrated to the audience to be
not only false, but wilfully, maliciously
and intentionally false. He was fre
quently applauded, and no speaker
ever received more satisfactory evi
dences of popular endorsement.
In conclusion, Col. Candler stated
that, in response to numerous and ur
gent solicitations for the use of his
name in the Senatorial race, he|had
signified his willingness to serve the
district if his fellow-citizens should
see proper to elect him;’but he had no
disposition to thrust himself upon the
voters of the district as a self-consti
tuted candidate; that he respected the
wishes and the voice of the people;
that he had no personal ends to sub
serve; that he did not intend to make
the race without the endorsement of
his fellow-citizens of Hall, and that if
they preferred another man they had
but to say so, and he would retire. He
closed with an earnest request that
the citizens then assembled—a court
house full of them—should then and
there consider his candidacy, and
speak their will with He
would abide their action.
After the storm of applause had sub
sided, the following preamble and res
olutions were offered, and unanimously
adopted. When the affirmative vote
was taken, the response was solid and
shook the building, and there was a
pause; then the negative was put;
silence reigned a moment, and was
broken by a voice—"be ain’t here.” A
hearty laugh followed this quaint but
significant announcement, and the
meeting adjourned with cheers for
Candler.
CANDLER ENDOR9ED.
Whereas, It is conceded by the citizens of
Jackson and Banks, the counties politically
associated with Hall in the 33d Senatorial
District, that by the rotation system hereto
fore adopted and practiced in the selection of
Senator, the latter is -this time entitled to pre
sent a Candidate to voted for by the three
counties ; and
Whereas, The Hon. Allen D. Candler, a
citizen of Hall, has yielded to the solicitations
of nnmerous citizens of the District—and es
pecially of his own county—to allow the use
of his name, and has announced his willing
ness to serve the District in the State Senate,
if elected ; therefore
Resolved, That we, a large number of the
citizens of Hall county, in public meeting as
sembled, without regard to party custom and
pretermitting expression of party principles,
unqualifiedly endorse the candidacy of Hon.
Allen D. Candler for the State Senate, and
pledge him our earnest and undivided sup
port.
Resolved, That we respectfully appeal to
the citizens of Jackson and Banks counties to
unite with ns, in all honorable means, to se
cure Col. Candler's election.
Resolved, That the papers of the district be
requested to publish these proceedings.
Morton.
But the great Senator died with no
stain of stolen gold upon his hands—
died leaving no enemy behind him to
charge that as the people’s servant he
had enriched himself at the people’s
expense. It is fit that this be remem
bered at his tomb.—Cincinnati En
quirer.
What a commentary on Radicalism !
It has so debauched its leaders and its
votaries, that, when one dies “with no
stain of solen gold upon his hands,”
it is necessary to relieve his memory of
the common judgment of mankind, to
blazon upon his tombstone the dis
tinguishing fact that he was not a
rogue.
A Good Reason.
Hon. Nat. Caldwell, being inter
viewed on the Ohio Senatorial ques
tion, said he was for Pendleton “to
day, to-morrow and forever,” and
added;
“Because we want a Democrat, now
that we are able to choose, who will
honor the city, the State and the
country. We want a man who was
a Democrat in the dark days—a man
who was a Democrat when other men
who aspire to this place were looking
for anew party.”
That’s a good reason in Georgia,
just about now.
The Albany Guards won the S3OO
prize in the military contest at the
Thomasville Fair, and the News is
wild with delight. It literally screams
for joy Hear it:—
“The Judges consult; the companies
form to hear the decision—the Albany
Guards have it! Shouts rend the air
and huzzars ascend.
PBOUD FLAG
of the Guards, wave, ever wave in
peace as in war. Ever let your folds
be kissed and caressed by bright, vic
torious suns; ever let your eagle scream
victory. The South ought and must
have a well-organized militia. More
depends on it than we think for. Let
the Guards be foremost; let the proud
flag, presented by gentle hands, ever
be ready to wave.
"Wave Munich; all thy banners wave.”
The Georgia Marshalship.
A correspondent, supposed to be W.
D. Trammell, of Griffin, writes to & Co
lumbus paper a curious version of the
last play for the Marshalship. He
says the President had determined to
appoint Hon. W A Huff, and was then
set upon by the friends of the other ap
plicants—mostly those of Fitzsimmons
and W T Trammell; that extracts from
Mayor Huff’s official documents, and
personal correspondence in controver
sy with persons in the city of Macon,
were produced and read to the Presi
dent, “showing that Huff was not a
sound Democrat;” and that this devel
opment caused the President to change
his mind; that this action narrowed
the contest to two applicants—Fitz
simmons and Trammell—and that Mr.
Stephens’ influence for the former se
cured the appointment. He further
states that the Georgia Senators and
six Representatives were present when
the extracts and other proofs of Huff’s
“unsound Democracy” were presented,
and clearly intimates that they aban
doned Huff on that account.
The curious part of the business lies
in the discovery, by these distinguished
Georgians and the applicants fop the J
place, that Huff was “not a s§und
Democrat ” We happen to know all
about Huff’s Democracy. With his po
litical principles'and motives of politi
cal action, we are as familiar as we are
with those of our most intimate asso
ciates. In municipal affairs be ignores
party lines and affiliations; but in
State and national politics, he was and
is as true to the cause of Democracy,
the South, and the whole country, as
any man in or out of Congress from
Georgia, or any other State, and has
perhaps done more to sustain the party
than all the other fifty-eight applicants
for the Georgia Marshalship, combined
with three or four of the Representa
tives thrown in.
If the version given by the corre
spondent has'any truth in it, Huff fell
a victim to foul play, treacherous de
ception and damning doggisbness.
The President was imposed upon by
trickery, conspiracy and falsehood.
We would apply none of these epi
thets to Col. Fitzsimmons. We be
lieve him to be an honorable gentle
man, and above the low practices by
which the correspondent says Huff
was defeated.
Immigration.
At the close of the late war, the fu
ture prospects of Georgia appeared so
unfavorable that numerous Southern
ers were induced to emigrate to Brazil
and other parts of South America,
and to other States South and West,
with a view of bettering their condi
tion. Within a few years these same
persons have returned to their old
homes, being perfectly satisfied that
the Empire State of the South pos
sesses natural and social advantages
equal, if not superior, to those of any
portion of the habitable globe. So nu
merous and substantial are those ad
vantages, that we are confident a large
immigration to Northeast Georgia will
occur, so soon as they are made
generally known.
With a view of inducing immigra
tion, we propose to present a cursory
view of the progress toward re-estab
lishment which has taken place since
the close of the late misunderstanding.
Just previous to the late war we had
reached that stage of development and
prosperity, which foreshadowed a fu
ture of vast usefulness in the various
departments of the arts and sciences.
The results of the war were such as to
induce the belief that half a century
would elapse before the South would
regain its prosperity, and present to
the world the unusual sight of a people
resurrected and purified by their _ very
misfortunes.
During the past month, some of the
most distinguished statesmen of the
age have borne witness to the fact that
the sons of Georgia, who bore their
part so nobly in the conflict, have
turned their swords into plowshares,
and by their indomitable energy and
perseverance, have not only restored
their homes to their former beauty,
but developed the resources of the
State to such an extent as to prove
that capital and labor, properly ap
plied, will, in a few years, place the
State of Georgia among the foremost
in the Union in point of wealth.
If, without the aid of capital, and by
the mere force of will, such results
have been achieved, what may we ex
pect if capital is brought to bear, and
the vast mineral, agricultural and
manufacturing resources of the State
are developed ?
Northeast Georgia possesses a mine
ral-bearing belt, containing gold, sil
ver, copper, iron, lead, bismuth, and
almost all the metals and minerals of
the world, together with agricultural
and manufacturing resources unsur
passed by any other State in the
Union.
Immigrants visiting this section of
Georgia will find a salubrious climate,
a soil of vast richness, and a hospitable
reception. We invite them to come
and judge for themselves.
Officers of the Grand Ledge.
At the annual convocation of the
Grand Lodge F. A. M., on the 30th
ult., in Macon, the following Grand
Officers were elected for the ensuing
Masonic year: James M. Mobley,
Grand Master; J. I. Wright, Deputy
Grand Master; James W. Taylor,
Senior Grand Warden; James M.
Rushin, Junior Grand Warden; Jos.
E. Wells, Grand Treasurer; J. Em
mett Blackshear, Grand Secretary.
A negro outraged a white girl fifteea
years old, at Yorktown,
ville, N. Y., one night last week. 'The I
physicians say the girl will not recov
er, but the negro still lives. That
country loves the negro, and it is prob
able this offender will find apologists
and protectors.
A different fate was that of an Ala*
bama colored fiend. Owen
was taken from the jail at Seale ; Sta
tion, and his taking off is thns ac
counted for :
•‘He confessed that what Mrs. E!ling
ton had stated in regard to his crime
was true and correct iu every particu
lar; that this was the fifth crime he
had committed, of which death is the
penalty; that he had raped four negrjL
women and one white; that he hacf
shot four men, one white and threjg
black. As to his outrages general!-
upon negro women, he said they wsre
bad enough. He confessed furthp#
that the twenty-one men under prose*
cution as Ku Klux in Atlanta were en
tirely innocent of the offense. It was
a trumped up charge, and he was ti*
receive a bribe for swearing falselw
against them on their trial. He started
further, that a woman had enticed him
into this prosecution, and a ls’i
yer in Atlanta, whose siame'Aie did ii *
give, was to have him of tl*|
bvay after the trial to save bim fro’l.
Violence if' the prosecution failed. H:
was in Atlanta awaiting the trial, and
intended to appear against the meiftt
but said Detective Jones was too sharp
for him.
He was hung about a hundred yard*
from the scene of his crime, at 10
o’clock a. m. It had been determined
to execute him on that spot, but as it
was between two pine trees and no
limb was convenient, a scaffold waft
erected near by. It is estimated
near three hundred people were pres
ent, mauy of them colored. The ne
groes were clamorous for his death,
and most of them insisted on his being
burned. The prisoner shuddered at
the threat of such a death, and on the
day before he was taken from the jail
here said he wanted to be removed to
another county, as he had heard they-,
burnt people sometimes in this county.
He begged and entreated for any mode
of death but that, and after he had
made a confession a vote was taken r
and the majority decided for hanging.
A stake bad already been put in the
ground, and a quantity of lightwood
cut. Mrs. Ellington desired that he
should be burned.
Congressmen Candler and the Repeal
Dill.
[The Constttntion.l
When the bill to repeal the useless,
if not damaging, resumption act first
came to vote in the house our immedi
ate representative voted with the ma
jority. He has since steadily voted
with the red-hot resumptionists. We
regret his sudden conversion. He be
gan well and should have held out
steadfast to the end. We thank him
however for the one vote that he cast
in favor of a repeal of the iniquitous
third section. It came in when the ;
friends of repeal were the weakest.
The anti-resumption vote has increas
ed since that time, and Mr. Candlei-’s
vote is not needed to put the bill
have the other
votes’from this State t<s fall back od,
all of which are cast on the right
We respect Mr. Candler’s sincerity of
motive, and congratulate ourselves that
one adverse vote in the house has not
affected and probably cannot affect
the fate of the bill.
The Silver bill passed the House on
Monday last by 163 to 34. New En
gland voted solid against it, and the
South, with the exception of five voted
for it. Swann, of Maryland; Leonard
and Gibson, of Louisiana, Scleiker, of
Texas and Stephens, of Georgia, voted
with the bondholders and against the
people.
The Resumption Repeal bill was
taken from the Committee and made
the Special order until Tuesday next
when the vote will be taken. It will
pass the House by a large majority,
and there is but little doubt that it will
get safely through the Senate, but a
veto is apprehended, vrhich will kill
the bill, as a two-thirds vote is impos
sible in either house.
The Silver bill will help amazingly.
It is estimated that it will give to the
country at least one hundred millions
additional circulation of legal tender
money.
The Gwinnett Herald tells a sad
story of the accidental killing of a little
boy named Mitchell, twelve years old,
by his little sister, two or three years
younger. She threw a stone at her
brother and struck him on the head.

Mr. Henry W. Grady’s interview
with Gen. Longstreet, as to the battle
of Gettysburg, has been published in
the Philadelphia Times, and the Con

and most graphic account of the “fatal
blunder” yet published. We cant get
the Times to exchange with us, and
shall, therefore probably never see the
General’s version of the great battle.
The Elberton Gazette has adopted
the cash-in-advance system. No sub
scriber can get the paper till he planks
down the scads. It does seem that to
this complexion it must come at last.
Thfe credit system is simply death to
the paper, and dissatisfaction to the
subscriber.
A practical joker living near Dan

Oliver Perry Morton.
“I am dying! worn out!” These
were the last words of iho chief of the
“bloody shirt” clansmen. Let ths
Jesuit’s creed be carved : upon his
tombstone, “The end justifies the
means,” and underneath the following
extracts :
[Frbm the New York Sun.]
We cannot say that Mr. Morton was
a statesman. He was cunning, wary,
and unscrupulous—a politician of.
wonderful fertility and success; but
those large views and firmly held prin
ciples which are indispensable in the
higher type of public man were not
his. He aimed always at the advant
age of the moment, and was just as
ready to gain his ends by means which
a high conscientiousness would reject
as by any others. That a thing was
..tricky or immoral did not make it odi
ous in his eyes provided it could be
made useful in politics. Yet he was a
patriot. He loved his country sincere
ly. Every fibre in his nature was
American, even when he resorted to
doubtful measures. The good of the
country he really believed could only
be promoted by the success of the party
to which he was devoted; and while he
j was carried away by the intensity of
I his party feeling into regions and into
■"actions where a man of nobler nature
would not consent to go, there was yet
such an abounding force in his mind
and such a frank demagogism in his
conduct that he commanded a certain
kind of respect even from those who
condemned him.
[From the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
His was an unique character. He
leaves no counterpart behind. He had
none while living. Thad Stevens,
Ben Butler, Blaine, are almost the only
men of this generation with whom he
can be compared as of the same class.
Thad Stevens was of far loftier impul
ses, and of higher command. Both
would trample the Constitution be
neath their feet, if need be, to accom
plish their purposes. Ben Butler has
a finer legal training, a superior cun
ning in details, more adroitness, is
more alert and ready; but Butler lacks
the faculty of commanding men to his
views that Morton possessed. Blaine,
with all of his brilliancy and audacity,
and with a similarity of temparament,
has not the sustained power which for
twenty years has marked the career of
great apostle of Republicanism in
the West. Morton never gave to his
party a noble idea; but he had a match
less faculty of summoning men to the
continued advocacy of ideas that had
been bequeathed by others. He was
a splendid animal. Fearles, aggressive,
tireless, an organizer of marvelous
skill, with an executive faculty beyond
that of nearly all his fellows, he mould
ed men to his will as a man of vast
control does always. He only saw the
end; the means must be found. He
had little respect for the established
order. He had little regard for consis
tency. He was almost supreme
among politicians, for he had bound
less reverence for the party machinery.
He did not rule by eloquence or ten
derness. He was not a moral leader
He had few or none of the qualities of
Martin Luther or Lloyd Garrisson.
Measures were his means, not his ends.
The party success was the prize of his
high calling. He appealed to passion
ate prejudice, not to the gentler and
nobler impulses. He was utterly des
titute of the judicial faculty. He
aid only see one side of the shield.
He was essentially a partisan. The
sweet sway of reason was not the foun
dation of his force, he dared men to
do differently. He was incapable of
being beaten. When knocked down,
he rose smiling. He was without the
subtle power of the man of culture,
and he had not the charms of the cul
tivated orator; but no man’s speeches
were more potent. They were prag
matic, plain, forcible, eminently direct.
He arrayed all the facts on one side.
He piled them up till their shadow ob
scured the facts opposing. He was,
therefore, a igreat advocate, and, by
the same token, a giant as a party
leader. He won men to himself, not
by the delicate threads of affection,
but by the respect which human brute
force, a strong animal nature, the qual
ity which the ancients called “forti
tude,” inevitably commands. He
would advocate either side of a great
public question to be in harmony with
his party. Almost unaided he kept
the war alive years after it was ended
that his party might live. There are
many men in the Republican party
whose death would cause more person
al sorrow; none whose decease would
spread abroad more party regret.
From Georgia to Texas.
[Griffiin News.
We have just seen a letter from a
gentleman in Texas, addressed to a
kinsman of his, who is a well known
citizen of Spalding county. This gen
tleman was born and reared in Geor
gia, and lived in this State about forty
years. At the beginning of the war
worth $30,000. Soon after the war, he,
with his wife, removed from Talbot
county to Texas. His wife soon be
came sick and died. His property was
lost; and from affluence he descended
to the lowest depths of poverty. At
this stage of life, he writes for help to
his kinsmen in Georgia, in a letter
dated Eastland City, Eastland county,
Texas, September 11, 1877. From
this letter we make a short verbatim
extract;
“I am hardly able to work. I bor
rowed a wagon and carried my family
eighty miles east to pick cotton for
bread. lam now in Eastland City, on
my way back to my family to try to
help them pick cotton for bread. We
had a killing frost on the tenth of June,
that killed our corn. I had nine acres
in corn; it was promising. I will
about make the seed I planted. I have
a wife and four children (he had mar
ried a second time) and nothing for
them to eat. I now ask for a little
help, if you please; my children will
perish without help.”
And we have just seen a letter from a
distinguished Georgian, who moved to
Texas a year ago, "and now regrets his
venture. The health of his family is
impaired, and he is resolved to return
to his mother-land this winter. Gaines
ville will give him a cordial welcome,
and divide her last crust, if, as he in
timates, he determines to make her his
future home.
