Louisville, Q-a:
FRIDAY JULY 28, 1871.
Judge Erskiee, of the United States
District Coart, at its reoent sitting in
Savannah, gave the following opinion on
the validity of contracts made for the
purchase of slaves: “If contracts enter*
ed into previous to the promulgation of
the President's proclamation of emanci
pation, the consideration of which was
the price and pnrohase money of slaves,
were then valid under the Constitution
and laws of the United States, and of
the State of Georgia, the aid of the courts
must be given, if demanded to enforce
them.”
Attorney General Akerman will doubt
less soon be in his Georgia nest, as he
has issued instructions to District At
torneys to be zealous and make extraor
dinary efforts in the execution of the
Kn-Klax bill. Whenever they hear of
outrages they shall procure warrants
from the Federal commandtr, arrest par
ties accused, and have them bound over
or committed, nntil the ensuing term of
the Federal Court.

The Presidential Campaign of 1872.
Those who rest implicit confidence in
in the assertion that in a multitude of
counselors there is safety, must cer
tainly anticipate glorious times for the
American Republic after 1872. The
Radical'party is about to divide, and
nominate several candidates, the Demo
crats, we fear will follow suit, and beside
there are several independent nominees
!j the field who apparently are running
just for the fnn of the exercise.
Greeley is the Agricultural President,
m prospecto ; Grant, the (nepotic) defen
der, from the Radical party ; Hancock
and Hoffman apparently, from the Dem
ocratic ; Mrs. Victoria Woodhull, the
female suffrage-slinger is entered for the
race, and ere long, we may expect to
hear of a negro candidate, (we suggest
A. Alpeoria Bradley) a labor reformer, a
Fenian, an Orangeman, n John China
man, and a Digger Indian. We shall
support each and every nominee ; wo
want every one of them elected, so that
the American mind can become thor
oughly disgusted with this Presidential
tomfoolery. With this “multitude of
Counselors” the interests of this vast
Republic will certeioly, to all human
appearances, be safe. Under the direc
tion of the good Texas Greeley, the car
of agricultural progress will be driven
forward with a double head of steam,
the brave Ulysses will fulminate the Ku
Klux into nihility, and thus save the
Union, the beautiful tartar emetic, Vic
toria, Queen of Hearts, will charm the
uproarious discord of men’s single polit
ical blessedness, into the harmony of
social equality, and these greater lumin
aries, assisted by the light of the other
lesser orbs, will dUpel the darkness that
has so long overhung this country, and
bring the light of the day dawn of the
Golden Age.
The New York Riot,
is indicative of the fact that the minds
of some American citizens have under
gone a change with reference to reli
gion! toleration and liberty of conscience
and action. The Orangemen intending
to parade, as it their custom, on the 12tb
of July) the Fenians determined to
break np the procession, if necessary, by
force. In order to avoid bloodshed, Su
perintendent Kelso of the Poliee un
wisely forbade the Orange parade; at
which an alarm was sounded, that en
croachmets were being made upon the
rights of free citizens, and e wide-spread
fee ling of indignation prevailed. Gov.
Hoffman, wisely and justly counter
manded the order of Kelso, and issued a
proclamation to the offset that the pa
rade should be protected by the poliee
mod military at ell hazards. On the day
appointed, the enraged mob attacked the
proeestion at various points, until it be*
eame necessary for the soldiers to inter
fere. Several volleys were fired, and
one hundred and thirty-seven persona
were killed and wounded. The mob be
ing dispersed, the Orangemen finished
their parade in peace.
This riot, though of itself quite e se
rious affair, seems but the initiatory step
to scenes of still further violence end
bloodshed. The spirit of intolerance
which characterizes the people of Eu
rope, is uufortunately blending itself,
tbrongh the medium of foreign immigra
tion, with the hitherto liberal ideas of
oar countrymen. This attack upon the
Orangemen was but a result of this
growing evil, which the “vetoing Gov
ernor” Hoffman, did well to (tamp with
the mark of his disapprobation, by
crushing out all such iotolerant senti
ments at the point of the bayonet. Amer
ican freedom will be a thing of the past
whenever oDe sect or party is intimidat
ed by another, and the authorities sanc
tion such attempt at intimidation.—
This vital essence of American freedom,
liberty of speech and conscience, must
be preserved, though the sceDes of the
Reign of Terror bo revived with three
fold blackness, and the streets of our
cities become but the counterpart of
Paris under tbe Commune. This will
be the inevitable result if onr free
dom is lost, and it were better to suf
suffer intolerant persecution after bav
ing done our duty, thau to rest snpinely
and see the last remnants of our once
glorious liberty pass from onr grasp
without a struggle.
Law and Plunder in Georgia.
Dr. N. L. Angier, tbe Republican
Treasurer of this State, in his statement
before tbeKu Klux Committee on Fri
day, preseuted the following facts and
figures against Gov. Bullock :
Disavowing political or partisan views
he said the Governor had violated the
plain letter of the law in many instan
ces, including tbe issuing of new State
bonds, his efforts to conceal tbe amount,
and his disposition of them. The wit*
tifsss said be knew nothing of the Ku
Klux exoept from rumor and the news
papers and reports, never having to his
knowledge seen one. He thought law
lessness had exhibited itself in some
sections of Georgia, as it did at times in
every State, and probable always would.
He could not say bow far it bad beeo
political, but believed it was such in
some sections, and that there had been
both white aud black making nse of tbe
disguise for private gain and personal
revenge, and boys for mischief.
He regarded it as a wonder that the
people are as quiet and as peaceable as
they are, with tbe corruptions and the
terrible plunderings, and over three hun
dred pardons by the Governor, e large
portion for murder, in gome cases before
trial. There is no such thing as a gen
eral disturbance, and neyer has been.
Many negroes and some whites are ad
dicted to stealing and licentiousness,
and this has caused disturbance in 60me
localities. If individual accounts are
true, there is a terrible condition of af
fairs in cot tain neighborhoods. He
thought, however, the pictures are over
drawn, as they have been proved to be
in most cases, and in some entirely false.
Injured and interested parties are apt
to give extravagant accounts, and with
unprincipled men this was a cheap and
convenient way of making political cap
ital, and inducing large rewards for
made-up sham cases. He thought the
State courts sufficient to restrain law.,
lessness if tbe Governor would cease his
wholesale pardoning.
Tbe rights of the negro were safer in
tbe hands of upright, intelligent white
furors than in those of negro jurors, in
the present condition of that race. There
was with gome persons a strong preju
dice, and even hatred against the negro,
mostly because of the political tights
conferred upon him, but a large portion
of the wisest and most substantial men,
especially if they arc politicians and
have no objection to bolding office, are
rather pleased that those rights have
been conferred to tbe extent of voting,
as it makes more offices, and they will
control the negro, and through him gain
political aud representative Btreqth for
the South. The Sontb generaly admits
the legal binding force of tbe recon
struction acts and the new amendments
to the Constitution, until changed legiti
mately, it changed at all, claiming the
right of appeal or a judicial negative.
Col. Edward C. Anderson, of Savan
nah, was also examined by the Commit
tee on the same day. We append his
testimony as reported in the Patriot of
Saturday :
Upon beiog questioned as to the con
dition of the city of Savannah with ref
erence to its government, Col. Anderson
replied that it was a law-abiding city,
and was foitunate and prosperous under
democratic rule for the past four years.
The Committee then interrogated bim as
follows:
Q. What do you mean by that?
A. Mnnioipal rule.
Q. Do you know of any instances of
preconcerted violence in tbe city of Sa
vannah 7
A. I know several: Ist, The blocking
of the polls by negroes. On tbe day of
the Presidential election the polls in the
city were taken possession of at 4 a. m.
ana held nntil tbe time of the opening
of the same, 7a. m. Shortly after they
opened, the operatives from tbe Central
Railroad depot came up in a body to
vote, with instructions to deposit their
ballots and return at once to work. They
were prevented from so doing by the ne
groes, who had taken possession of tbe
polls. The police authorities were call
ed into requisition, end as they ap
proached tbe voting precinots were fired 1
into by the negroes; one man was killed
outright and another mortally wounded.
The firing then became general, and thn
polls were cleared for the day.
Another instance was tbe tarring end
feathering of a negro by negroee, bee ease
be had voted the Democratic ticket. He
wee taken oat on the outakirts of the
eity, end a coat ofter end feathnra ap
plied to his body.
The witoess elated he did not remem-
ber of other preconcerted outrages, when
Senator Pool charged him to tax bis
memory. After reflection, be recited
two other cases, one the killing of e boy
whilet banting, by e negro; end another
attempt to Ko-Klox a negro named
Bradley, all the participants being ne
groes end Radicals. A bag was thrown
over his bead, and an attempt was made
to plaee him in an ambulance; his cries
attracting the attention of a policeman,
he was rescued, and by him taken home.
There had, of course, been isolated cases
of disturbance and murder among tbe
whites, but they did not proceed from
any preconcerted plan, and the witness
thought it would hardly be fair to con
demn tbe city for these isolated cases of
disorder, any more than it would be
proper to judge of tbe morels of Boston
from the records of its Poliee Court.
In response to a query whether tbe
people of Georgia were loyal to the Gov
ernment, Mr. Anderson replied that bis
construction of loyalty meant a devotion
to the maintenance of law, and that in
that sense, tho people were essentially
loyal; that when construed in regard to
their loyalty to the Government, they
were not hostile to it, but that they ut
terly condemned the administration of
the Government, as illustrated in the
persons of their representatives holding
office in their midst.
He stated that tbe sentiments of the
Southern people toward Northern men
who came to locate with them were those
of kindness; that they were glad to have
them ; that many bad come and settled
with them, and were prosperous in busi
ness, and made good citizens. He fur
ther stated that he thought tbe effeot of
general amnesty would be to soften down
at once all asperity of feeling, and unite
tbe hearts of the people in support of
the country.
The witness was then asked if he
knew or had ever heard of the existence
of the Ku-Klux Klan in Georgia, to
which he replied he had not as an pr
ganization. He bad beard of an in
stance where disguised men had roleaa
ed a prisoner in Rome, Georgia, taken
by the United States military authori
ties, without warrant of law.
Mr. Anderson testified that tbe courts
in Georgia were impartial in their ad
ministration of the law ; that it was ad
ministered without reference to class or
condition, and that they wero amply
able to dispose of cases coming before
them, and at tbe same time uphold the
supremacy of the same.
He then explained what be meant by
the remark that under Democratic rule
the city of Savannah was prosperous,
by statiDg that real estate bad advanced
rapidly; that before the war exports nev
er exceeded twenty-eight millions of
dollars: that one year after the war
they footed up fifty-eight millions, and
the present year up ’til date, they a
mounted to seventy millions, and that
700,000 bales of cotton had already been
shipped this year.
Mr. Pool then asked the witness what
the people of Georgia thought of the
administration of Gov. Bullock, to which
he replied that, irrespective of party,
they thought his administration most in
famous, from the fact that he bad almost
bankrupted the State.
During the month of June, 338,110
letters were sent to the Dead Letter
office. Os these, 235,600 were ordinary
domestic letters ; 42,600 were local or
drop-letters ; 28,582 were held for pos

A Touching Incident. —Within the
past week an aged and worthy woman,
once the property of the mother of Cap
tain Lewis Kenan and his nurse through
out infancy—came to our city alone and
over three hundred miles of travel, with
no other object than to look at hie grave
and sympathise with her old mistress in
the deep distress of the family ! Her
feelings were those of a mother; end
when tbe poor, sorrowing soul gazed
upon tbe narrow bounds which holds all
that is mortal of him she had tended
and cared for as her own, there is little
doubt she shared much of the sad be
reavement of tbe real parent. Such itf
stances of devoted attachment and un
ostentatious gratitude are few, even
among the highest grades of society
illustrating as it doos those ties which
subsisted in the relation of Southern
masters and their slaves—making it e
mutual joy and a lasting benefit to both
alike.
The woman here alluded to is Dicy,
well and kiudly remembered by many
citizens of Milledgeville, born and own
ed in the family of the late Col. Robert
W. Alston, and who has never lived un
der any other protection. She is now,
and has been ever since the war, in the
service of one of her former young
mistresses (Mrs. Reid, of Thomasville,
Ga.,) and the same attentive, unswer
ving friend and assistant, as she bad
been the dutiful, faithful end trusted
servant. Her mission ended, and her
feelings gratified, she has gone back to
her home, where, we hope, her days
may be prolonged, end their termination
crowned with tbe assurance of e happy
hereafter.

An Important Decision. —The United
States Supreme Court have decided that
the limitation laws of the Southern
States were suspended for the full period
between the proclamation of blockade
of the Southern ports April 19th, 1861,
and the proclamation of restoration of
Federal authority of August 20th, 1866.
The effect of this decision will be to
reopen the courts of the Southern States
to ante-war claims of Northern credi
tors, and to give vitality to obligations
which have been barred by limitation
under the hitherto received ruliug of
State Courts. The principle will apply
equally to Federal and State Courts.
Savannah News.
From the West.
The Fort Smith, Arkansas, Era of
July 3d, learns from Deputy United
States Marshals McLemore and Bora
that Salanta and Big Tree, the Kiowa
chiefs, captured at Fort Sill when Gen.
Sherman was there, aud sent to Austin,
Texas, attempted to escape from prison,
and actually released themselves from
the shackles by gnawing the flesh from
their hands and feet, but were discov
ered and shot dead.
Marshals McLemore and Bora report
that the people of the Texas frontier
are very uneasy lest there should be a
general outbreak of reserve Indians up
on the settlements, to take vengeance
for the death of their chiefs.
A Hew and Dangerous Oreenbao
Within a week past, a number of ex
ceedingly dangerons counfcits have made
their appearance. How large the num
ber may be, cannot be known, for the
counterfeit is so nearly faultless that it
is only with the utmost difficulty that it
can be distinguished from tbe genuine.
The spurious bill is a twenty dollar
greenback. The only weak point in the
execution seems to he the central figure,
which is a little too coarsely done,—
When presented in a packago, however,
this figure is not seen in tbe rapid coun
ting, it being bidden by the hand or
the overlying bills. The other points of
the bill are so excellent as to stand the
test of the strongest light. We are told
that two or three banks have been de
ceived by the bills. There has not
been a more dangerous counterfeit put
afloat. Business men, bank tellers, rail
road ticket agents, and others, would do
well to keep a sharp lookout for these
bills.— Peterson’s Counterfeit Detector ,

Murder and Retribution. —We are in
formed by gentlemen from Albany, that
on Monday last, a Mr. Rush, the over
seer on Mr. Ben. H. Hill’s Mud Creek
plantation, had a difficulty with a negro
employed on the place, in which the
negro attempted to strike Rush with a
singletret, and Rush shot at him but
without effect. The negro then left,
and on Tuesday returned with double
barrel shot gun, and, approaching Rush
when iu the field, remarked to him : “1
am now armed and on an equal footing
with you.” Bush replied, “all right,”
and when iu the aot of leaping from his
horse, the negro shot him in the side
with a load of buckshot. Rush fell
from his horse mortally wounded and
the negro ran. The negroes in the field
who had witnessed the aflhir, immedi
ately started to a neighboring planta
tion for a doctor, and on the way they
found the negro who had shot Rush, ly
ing dead in tie road with the top of his
head blown off arid his gun by his side.

charged the other barrel of his gun
aud killed himself or, thinking that he
was being pursued and woald be caught
and punished, stopped in the road and
blew his own head off.

the hop of the late Samuel Griswold. . „ . - ■ ~ ,
In calling the attention of planters to our Cotton Gms. we deaire that they should notice
the improvements that we ofcr which are substantial as follows:
A PORTABLE ROLL BOX
For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Bib or Grate is used, the object of which is to
improve in the quantity ginned, or lesion the quantity and improve the quality of lint. Also
to gin damp or wet cotton; to alter tbe picking or separating the lint from the seed—either
to take more lint off. or less lint from the seed, as circumstances require. We use both the
common Roll Box and a Swinging Front. The latter is arranged to let Out all the seeds and
hnlls in a moment, and is very easily managed;
the gin brush
We make, cannot be excelled by any hair brush used. The bristles are all drawn by a cord
and the timber is all selected from the best lumber, well seasoned; and every brush is made
perfect fire and rat proof.
CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES
Are both oscilliating and plain. Can furnish either, as may be ordered. We line them with
the best babbit metal.
GIN SAWS. ,
We make all the sews that we use from the best English Cast Steel, and of any size that
may be desired. We employ, to superintend and manufacture our saws, one of the best saw
makers in the Boatb; end our machinery for the manufacture of Gin-Saws cannot bo excelled
COTTON-SEED CRUSHING MILL,
We are aheonly successful manufacturers of this important and useful inventicn, the Cot
ton Gin, with tbe Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. It will hardly be necessary hereto
alleds to the immense saving and economical use of the crushed cottonseed, as a ma
nure. We received a gold medal as a premium, from tbe Fair of the Cotton Planter’s
Convention, held in Macon, Ga., 1860 for the bast Cotton Seed Crushers attached to the Gin
