of educating those children whose whites and one, equally as good, for

poll tax forms ho-small part of the
common school fond, and when we
consider the benefit to the State that
would result from the establishment of
common schools-and'the general dif
fusion of knowledge, we hold tliat
there-is no tax-that bright tb lie paid
with more alacrity.
This incentive lo'the payme nt of the
poll tax we consider a wise one. It
was put in the Constitnfion byitsRad
ical" framers- the Constitution was
paissed by the convention which was.
composed almost entirely of Radicals
-arid on being submitted tb the people,
It was adopted by -the votes of the
Radical party. Then the Radicals Tb
their electioneering harangues, made
great-boast of the -provision/they had
made for-comm on school education;
but its soon as an election was' to be
held, theheanteons Bullock, by an un
warranted assumption of power; "sus
pended the collection of the poll tax:
This was done to tickle Lis colored
friends, and bnablfe them to save their
money, and yet vote. Thus it has
been suspended to the*prer,ent time.
-N^W,'ius there is some prospect 'that
a-lai-gc number of negroes will nrefer
not to vote rai-lier than quiy the poll
tax which wili 'be dne, these thought
ful Radsare -trying to ' make political
capitaiont of'it. At a meeting of tlie
State Executive Committee in Atlanta
the other day, a 1 committee of-five was
appointed to consider the'disfranehise-
ment-of voters by the non-payment of
pcdl tax,'and digest'tlte most effectual
mode of securing theTinrestiainCd ex
ercise of the etective franchise - to all
entitled to it.
We have heard- of - clieelc bat this ex
hibits, more of that quality than any
thing we have heard lately. This very
in&yisionbf the Constitution, which
is the work of the Radicals,- they now
©ill “disfi-an-hisentent,” and woahl
convey theimpressionthatitis.a means'
ailopted by -the whites to keep' flic ne-
groes'fram voting. The next thing
we know, it .will be •reported to the
Federal Govera'ment-as a new way of
knkluxing'tli'e loyai voters and prevent
ing them'from' the enjoyment of the
light of suffrage. Because Cnffce and
SainhO'don’t want tb pay the tax lev
ied by.' the Constitution which "their
votes fastened on" tlje' State: a' great
lme and cry is raised; loyal men are
hindered in the enjoyment of their le
gal rights,; and l>;t-yonets must be se'nt
(Town here tb iatnnidate the' rampant
rebels'who insist on the observance of
the law. • '
Every rascal-on the Executive Coin
nrittee knows that'the. preventing of a
man fvom voting by reason of'the non
payment of the poll tax, ri.'eonstitn-
tional, andyet they pretend that it is
a kind of persecution.' This ’of a price

white peoples’ ear. ' On Monday, this
was carried bn~to eohsideraMe extent,
and several begroe’s Were forcibly push
ed off the cars' by white passengers.—
The streets were thronged with both
whites and negroes. By eight o’clock,
the-negroes begin to assemble in force,
men, women andTchildren, .principally
on Whitaker street, ib the vicinity of
Bonih Broad. The women.were par-
ticnlarly excited, and endeavoredstren-
uously to. encourage the negro men to
ake >oine wiolent epuibe. Suddenly a
volley of musketiy greeted the ears of
the excited pebjle, from the direction.
^Ihe Paik, on Wlritakerstreet. This
was returned by another -volley, when,
with a'yell, the crowd tm South Broad
street started, a large crowd of white
men inn up'Whitaker' street, on' the
east side, whilst a, ergwd of negroes
sped np the west side. In tlie street
and on the sidew:dks~tlie dusky crowd
tramped in "wild confusion, littering
threats, and crying “get ybnr arms,

thatthe Car Had been'fired into by
soine nCgroes in a Line,' between Gas
ton and Taylor' streets, on Whitaker,
which was rctiirne'd with promptness
by those bn the car. Wiieii.these shots
were fired njto the car there were sew
oral parties on the platform, among
them Mr. H. F. Segqr, wlioin we nn-
derstand was shot in.‘the wrist. SeS'-
eral negioes were w-omif ed. Tlie firing
into the cars waskept up for an hour
or more, and reports of fire-arms were
iieiri-d in different paris of the. city tdl
late at night. " Several persons" were
caught auit beaten severely. 'Filially
about eleven or twelve o’clock,' the po
lice, became masters of the situation
and everything was tolerable qiiiefc
Mrs. Barifer and her three child ton,
sitting on ateSaiTporch. were fired into

convention, like'a court of the l ist re
sort, is the" highest party tribunal in
the and beyoiid'it there is no other
or farther appeal, without going out

cannot'adopt. I cannot sepei-ite my

which directed the choice made by the-
one or the acceptance and indorsement
accorded by tlie other. The Demomut-

mj judgement, to any other political
organization of the country." T ' shall
give to the Baltimore nominees, there

believing that in their election the

I may add that, since my accession

a great work before us here. in Geor

of every patriot in the State, and I
have given.my hand and heart to that
work. To complete this work success
fully* it is necessary that we preserve
the integrity of the' Democratic party
here at home. It is necessary that we
be united, and zealous and forbearing,
slow to condemn our brethren, or to
magnify difference upon matters of-
minor eoneem,. If we but pursue this
course, the good work we baye ip hand
