AVliy tliin Difference I
The lust glimmer el hope lop the rue,,
et-ss of Radicalism, in November, ap
pears to have departed f-oin the breasts
of ils champions. Grant and Colfax
meetings arc universally dull, spiritless,
and the attendanceraengro. Tlic jour
nals published in the interest of this rrinti
grel party are stale, lukewarm and de
void of animation ; and their speakers
deal solely in vitupeiulivo rpilliets and
debasing slang. They have read the
hand-writing on the wall and know the
late that awaits them ; but whilst des
truction stares them in the face, they
have resolved to die with Roman coin
age—without its virtue: not one st./no
will be left unturned (not for success)
to reduce the mighty majorities that will
confront them, anil proclaim in thunder
tones, the anathema of the American na
tion.
And why all this despondency? Why
is it, that a party, hut recently powerful
iu numbers, rich with the coffers of the
Treasury, and defiant towards the minor
ity, now bows ilrf head in humiliation,
mid c.iu extend naught hut a palsied
hand, in the vainellort to hold on to ils
illegal grasp on the reigns of govern
moot? We will tell you:
The Democracy have aroused them
selves from the slough of despond—they
have put on the armor ot battle, ami
created a fervor 'of enthusiasm, never bo
fore equaled on this continent The poo
pie—Lho thinking, intelligent, reflecting,
toiling millions,—--long deluded and led
astray by the serpent tongue ol the do
ceiver, have at last torn away the veil,
that for seven long years has screened
iniquity, rottenness, filth and corruption;
ami when that which was behind the
throne was revealed to the human eye,
the shuddering nation turned away from
the loathsome spectacle with horror.—
They beheld a million lotto* ing
skeletons arise from tho deep graves
dug by Radical power, and pointing
with the bony fingers of accusation at
the Robespieres of tho land of Washing
ton, hissed forth the dark, damning
words : Muriiersrs ok Liuhuiy ! They
beheld a million widows ami or
phans, in tattered apparel ami hunger
pinched features, march before the throne
of Radicalism, and demand why their
husbands and fathers slumber in untime.
!y graves 1 They entered into the
temple wherein was deposited the jewel 1
Liberty, by tho sages and patiiots of a
bvgone uge, and found the priceless in
heritance had boon stolen by sac e'igious I
bands 1 They examined into the
financial condition of the nation and dis-j
covered the astounding tact, that if |
America, this day, was so and under the |
auctioneer’s hammer, its national and i
private wealth would not lestoro the
nation to tho proud financial position i
she occupied prior to the reign of R* 1-
icalism!
We say the tailing millions have made
these discoveries —led outraged at the
deception and the great wrong perpetra
ted, amt have resolved that the monster ;
must, ska U perish ignominiously, The
consequence is,.the entire lar.d is convul
sed with Democratic enthusiasm. It is
illuminated in a dazzling bewildering ray
of light from tho Atlantic to the 1 acific—
from tho great lakes of the North to the
placid waters of the Rio Grande ; and
iiinid all this excitement, expressed do
termination, and denunciation oi the out
rages committed by the party in power
-amid all the contension,contusion, strife j
loud, clear, shrill above the roar of ar-,
tillcry, the clatter of firearms and the
roll of the drum, can be heard trilling ,
from the throats of many legions of pa
triots, the battle shout for a restoration
of liberty and the elevation of those true j
patriots and statesmen to power—- fi v- !
v. ,vu and Blair 1
J These are the reasons for the greal
I difference in the enthusiasm manifested
jby the contending parties. One mud*
j America prosperous, happy, contented,
i and e.au-ed ti*e hot blood to mantle the
| cheek with pride, even among the nobles
lat the Court ot St. .Tames, when he pro |
| claimed, "lain an American Citizen!"
The other h*» brought our nationality
| into bad repute, and even among the
J semi civilized nations of the old World, j
the.land of Washington is referred to,
with *l* rision, and the sensitive citizen ,
abroad is ashamed to acknowledge the J
dime from whence he hails. The people
desire a return of our lost honor—they
demand a restoration of the Consti- j
tution, of liberty, and the govi rnment of
our fathers, and know full well that the
ever tree ami faithful Democracy is the ■
only power that can and will restore
them. With this determination, they
are clamorous for the election of Seymour
aii*l Blair, by an overwhelming majority.
Five T lioiisiuicl!
We arc desirous of distributing five j
thousand copies of the Quitman Banner
through the First Congrssfmml District, j
during the present campaign, so that ev

At a re-'ijnt meeting of the State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee, at A ■ ■ -a,
the following resolution was adop*
Resolved. That the several Congies
sional Districts in this State bo recom
mended to hold Conventions as early as
pruslioable, to nominate their candidates
ibr Congress, and wo suggest that the
Conventions in each District be held on
the Bth day of September.
in pursuance with said resolution, we
pre-sine meetings will beheld promptly
in each County of the First Congression
al District, for the selection of delegates
to the Convention. It, is customary to
hold these meetings at Blackshcar, but
oh this occasion we would suggestion
lhatj .lt he held at Savannah, and -that
the jptlre Democracy of Hie District be
ftivired to participate in a mass-meeting
on the occasion. Every county can be
n presented by from fifty to three hun
dred delegates, and such a dispTTiyme
had, as will strike terror to all oppo

The citizens of Brooks ceiitily, and of
the Southern Judicial,Circuit, will rejoice
to loam that the above named gentlemen
huS"becn appointed by Gov. Dm, look,
and confirmed by the Senate, Solicitor
General for this Circuit—a position lie
has lately been filling (at the instance of
the voice of the people,) faithfully, zeal
ously and honestly.
In general, Gov, Bullock lias manifest
ed a partisan spirit, in tho appointment
of officials; but in this instance lie depar
ted from the rule, and accepted intrinsic
moral worth, exalted intellect, and splcn
did legal acquirements, ns redeeming
traits in one who loves his country, re
vet ca the Constitution of our fathers, de
sires peace and prosper'ty restored to
the South, — is opposed to party drill ami
party malevolence, but admits that Sey
mour and Hi. air should be elected, and
that they will Lc true custodians of civ -
il liberty.
In the name of the people of the South
ern Judicial Circuit, we extend thanks
to Gov. Bullock, fur '.his first grain of
right and justice. But recently, by the
vote of the while people, Col. Rennet was ;
plitced in office as the man of their choice:!
you have respected that decision-—and
for such act of magnanimity, they are
ready to award praise.
I) Hail Iticeiu Quitman
Inquiry lias been made of us, why wo j
did not, in our last issue take notice of D
Hall Rice's meeting in the Court house
and movements in Quitman some
days, or more, ago.
It was our opinion, that a detailed ;ic
count of his meeting, argument A.c.,i
would furnish him more notoriety than ,
he deserved, and therefore concluded, if
he was satisfied with the laurels won, in !
the Court house and en route to the depot I
lie is unpretensions—a very small Riee
| bird—and consequently \vc were satis
j tied to lot him depart in peace; for his
'punishment was great: Hunter and
others furnished him political food for
, digestion—.and the "boys” gave him an
' exhibition of fantastic tricks, entertain
ing and instructive; and the combination
certainly does not furnish inducement
' for a second visit—although .many ol
j the "boys" say he is a “trick,” a; -1 they
would be pleased to see him again ; and
I (hey give assurances that his welcome
j shall be “delightful,” with special
i “music” for the occasion.

I Seymour. All honest men are.
Nnvamuib*
Wo made a flying trip to the "Forest
City” last week, and were gratified to
find the merchants,'generally in high spo
ils, will) reference to political and mer
cantile prospects. They look upon, the
election of Seymour as a certainty ; arc
confident of securing a "while man’s
government” for their own beatitilul city,
and are very sanguine of a brisk and
- Fall business. Business has
revived considerably within the past two j
weeks, and although but few Full goods ]
have been received, ml ny merchants
the interior were .in Hie city, expec
ting to make purchases. In fact, two
merchants who went down on tho name
train with ns, expecting to sail on tin; j
following Saturday for New York, to
purchase their supplies, were offered
i such extraordinary * inducements, that j
' they concluded not to go beyond Savan-!
nah This speaks volumns with refer- |
epee to the enterprise and liberality ol
| the city merchants, and certainly affords
: one uragement to all to at least give,
j th- in a trial.
Our stay in the city was limited, and
! therefore could not avail ourself of the
privilege of calling upon numerous 1
friends, as well as a host of advertising .
patrons, who have in the past repeated
ly expressed their appreciation of the;
Banner, ns an advertising medium. The
favors of many however, will unsolicited,
reach us in a few days, when it will be a
pleasure l.i refer to them indiviilti. Ily
In the meantime wo hope for the "Fie
City” progressive improvement*, and t r
all licr business population abundant
prosperity.

KuUiusiastic Meeting at Quitman.
llenry Gwinn and Francis McNeil,
colored Conservatives of Savannah, hav
ing made an appointment to address the
citizens ot -Brooks on last Tuesday, invi
tations were extended to 001. James L.
SkWard and Col. Samuel B. Spencer, of
Thomasville, to also be present on the
occasion. The invitations were accep
ted, and at half past ten on Tuesday, a
very large number of citizens were in
attendance at the Court-house The
meeting was organized by calling Judge
James K. Edmondson to the Chair and ap
pointing F. R. Fildes, Secretary. The
first speaker, was
Henry Gwinn,
who appears to be an intelligent colored
man, well versed in tiio political issues
of the day, and evidently extremely anx
ious for the future welfare and prospuri-!
tv ol his race—as well as the country at. 1
j large. He piescuted facts and argil- j
incuts incontrovertible and convincing, j
I and if the men of bin own race fail to
heed them, the evil consequences will l>o I
brought upon themselves. Gwinn made!
a good speech, interlarded with apt quo
tations and amusing anecdotes—and j
was frequently and vociferously applaud
ed.
Francis McNeil
is President of tho Colored Conserve-1
live Club of Savannah, ami evidently an j
uneducated man. Nevertheless, he gave
sound, healthy advice and counsel to his
colored friends. lie was particularly ;
severe on “carpet-baggers’’ and "scala- j
wags,” and was desirous to know wheth
er his race could depend upon that class
of gentry for bread and meat. ‘‘.Seymoi r
and Blair,” lie contended, was the pan-1
acea for the evils that afflict the country
and cautioned the people to see that they
were elected.
Thu next speaker was the accomplish
ed and polished orator,
Col. Samuel B. Spencer,
well known throughout this entire coun
try as the late efficient Solicitor Gen
eral. lie spoke . fur very near one,
hour, and held the audianco spell
bound by his eloquence and masterly
argument. A synopsis of this speech i
would furnish no criterion to its ! f
logical power and intrinsic merit. Wc j
would be delighted to be able to publish
it entire—but in such event it would not.: ,
be properly appreciated, for the fire spir -
it ami graceful delivery ot th.- orator
would be missing. 00l Spencer's effort
will have a powerful effect upon both
whites and blacks: the former will be '
inspirited to renewed exertion for the
success of the Democracy, and the latter
cannot longer remain in darkness. lie
made ail tilings plain; and if they now
persist in elingii . to dying iLuK -alism,
it will be because they hate and desire
i to ruin the white race.
Col. James L. Seward
followed; and we might close this report
without further comment, if it was not
; for the respect due that distinguished
I gentleman; for everybody knows Col.
Seward and the character of speech he
delivered. It was a powerful effort, and
will long be remembered by those who
were so fortunate as to be present
Fairly and squarely placing himself on
the Seymour and Blair platform, he put
forth an urgent appeal to all men to
j bury the differences of the past, 'and to j
uoi'e iii one bold, manly struggle for a!
restoration of Constitutional liberty. He ]
addressed the freedmeu in plain language !
—•urged them to aid in the restoration j
of the cour.tiy to prosperity, and hy such
act they would receive the friendship
and support of all true men; but if they
refused to rally under the old Democrat
ic banner and cling to the carpet bag
gers ■and scalawags, to them they must
go for labor and sustenance. If they
were the political enemies of the whites
they were likewise their pernonal ene
mies, and with such we could have no
fellowship. The remarks of Col. S. re
ceived tho endorsement of whites and
blacks by uproaious applause.
The meeting closed at three o’clock
with a Democratic song from Henry
Gwis.v.

The New Ordinary, &r.
James L. Beaty, Esq., who was elec
ted Ordinary of Blocks County, at tlic;
late election, has given the required
j bond, accepted the oath of office, at the j
hands of Henry F. Mabbett, Esq., recciv
ed iiis commission from the Governor and
entered upon the duties of Judge of the
Court of Culinary on last Friday. The
duties of the office are perplexing and
numerous, but we feel sanguine that Mr
Beaty will meet every requirement and
give complete satisfaction to the people.
_'i'he commissions for all the new offi
J cers elect for Brooks, are in the hands of
| the Ordinary, and said commissions will
I be issued so soon as the requisite bonds
are furnished. It is said that some of
1 the gentlemen elect will be unable to
furnish necessary security. They are
j allowed thirty days (expiring Sept. 1 till)
i to perform this duty; and in the event ol
failure, the Commissions now in the
hands of the Ordinary, will bo returned
to the Governor, and in all probability a
new election ordered,
j Two of the officers elect will certainly
I not qualify, to wit: Capt. Jamf.s McDoS
; ai.ii, elected County Treasurer, (a wor
thy and respected gentleman) has ceas
ed to be a citizen <>t Brooks; and a man
• by the name of Baiiwki.l, who was clce
: ted Receiver of Tax Returns. lie is not
'only entirely incompetent and cannot
give the bond but lias removed to Thom
as county.
The Cotton Crop.
We hoar frequent complaints with
j reference to the destruction of cotton by
! caterpillar; but it is a difficult matter
to find a planter who has suffered injury
himself. Messrs. A. B. or C’s crop-is!
completely ruined—or rather, I>., K., or!
F. has said so. When the gentlemen j
referred to are appealed to, it is discov
ered to be a mistake, but their neighbors .
are ruined. The truth of tiic case
is: the caterpillar has made its ap
pcarance on occasional’ plantations:
they are not general, and it is our opin
ion great damage has not been sustained.
Last week we visited Col. P. Sheffield’s
“Lower Plantation,’’and it is true found
considerable caterpillar, but saw no
evdenee of damage : in fact the weed
nail attained such rank growth and was
so heavilj fruited, that Col. StiEFF.iF.uij
informed us that the worm would be ad-:
vantugeous.
The real damage to cotton has .been
from the heavy rains during the past
six weeks—and there is no doubt the
crop is considerably reduced in conse
quence.
The hue and cry about the’ caterpillar j
will not affect the price of cotton one
farthing ; for the cotton speculators of,
the world .'.re far better posted as to its
real condition, than we poor piney-woods ,
gen’ry.
Therefore we arc candid in the belief,
that this section of country will send 1
forward to Savannah, a v respectable,
yield of the staple, and receive in return
at least double the amount of money we
had in circulation last year.

Villainous Lies Our People Slan
dered.
We have received from Savannah, a
dirty little Radical -beet, called the ‘lie
publican Standard,’in which appears what
is represented as a detailed account of Mr.
D. Hall Rice’s recent trip ‘down the Gulf
Railroad*’ With reference to Mr. It's
sojourn in Quitman, the writer says:
“At Quitman Mr. Rice was again
challenged on the 14th iust., to disetus
the same issue with Colonel Hunter, of
: the Well known legal (Inn of Hunter mid
McCall, of that place, by a Democratic
.Committee, and they telegraphed to
Buiubrnlge for a c lored speaker to ap
pear against Mr. Bentley. Here they
; met with the same success, both I)emo
j erotic speakers being beaten iri the dis
cussion horse, foot and dragoons. After
, the discussion, the Democratic rowdies
; "f that placegntl < red about Mr. Bentley,
. withdrawn weapons and proclaimed their
1 intention of killing him on the spot, and
would have done so had he not been pro*
tooted by the colored men. They at
once held a secret meeting and resolved
’to shoot him, on his way to the train,
but he being informed of their intention,
prudently left town, and took the curs at
the mxl station. They gathered about
Mr. Rice, however, on his way to tha
train, to the number of filly, and openly
proclaiming themselves armed, offered
every sort of insult to him in their pow
er, siun tot a personal assault, daring
liiin to fight them in a body, but none of
. them had courage enough to propose to
*do ho single. At the train they threw
dirt and brickbats into the ladies’ car,
and filled the air with cries, shouts, and
groans, until the train moved off, at
which time a shot was fired from the
crowd. Meantime the Democratic sher
iff of the county stood by and encouraged
. these i iotous proceedings by his prea
| ctice.”
Every citizen of our town is well aware
that the foregoing is an unmitigated, in
trnHiwal lie from begining to end, and if
wi were disposed to bandy words with
a blackguard , could demonstrate it to tho
complete satisfaction of even the enemies
of Democracy*
Rrsni tfo A■ Initiation
Hoi.. It. J. Moses, of Columbus, has
addressed a letter to the Bar of Georgia,
in which lie recommends that all cases,
which they may hereafter have, be refer
red to arbitration rather than submit tho
rigid, of their cli r to the decision of
the Supreme Court, composed as it is of
such men as Joseph E. B.tow.v and McKay
in corrupt by nature and instinct.—
The following is the plan proposed by
Col. Moser;
“Let the members of the Bar refuse to
submit tho rights of their clients to this
tiihunal. Let them organize in every
| county of the State and agree upon three
! eminent and incorruptible lawyers ivho
•jjiali act as arbitrators or referees to
! whom all cases shall be tefered on Bills
iof Exception from the Superior Courts,
and agree fi r their clients that such re
: ference shall be final and have tho force
and effect of decision by the Supremo
j Court.
“The same thing can be done in Judi
cial Districts where the Bar may not
; have confidence in the integrity and wis •
, lan of the appointees, and arbitrators
! or referees could bo agreed ou i.a each
District, amt I>y taxing to each case an
Arbitrator's fee, to be paid by the party
cast iii the suit Compensation for the
. roll ree could bo provided in a manner
j that would not be burdensome to liti
: garits.
"By some such system as this the civil
i l ight* of tin* people could be prtected
j trom ignorance and corruption of tho
j .Judiciary and tho evils ol the new Jury
i system avoided.
| “I am ready to cooperate with tho
' Bar of Georgia upon this or any other
system by which the rights of litigants
j can be protected, tho and seal of condem
nation fixed upon a Judiciary which in ev
i i y hour of its sittings will desecrate tho
1 throm: of Jnstice.
"It may cost, the Bar some pecuniary
sacrifice, but that should not weigh a
! leather in an honest endeavor to pre
! serve the purity of the Judicial depart
■ ment.
“1 throw out this suggestion hoping
that it may result iu tho perfection of a
! system by which the objest in view may
■ be accomplished.
The Atlanta New Era, an avowed
Grant and Colfax sheet, says tiiat‘every
negro who votes the Democratic ticket
in Georgia should be remanded back into
slavery.” W hat do you think of that ?
You must do the bidding of the Radicals
or they will remand you back into slave
ry. Not so the Democracy—it is the
party of freedom; it declares yon are free
and they desire yo . should remain so,
and be on terms of fiiendslnp with your
old masters. Put Grant in power, how
ever, and you will be’slavee in deed.
