The Carpet-Baggers’ Debt. It Is a notorious fact, that in Gen. Grant, the penniless adventurers, blood hounds and leech es, who have Infested the South, ever since the war, hare found a true and persistent friend. The Southern gentleman, in his majesty’s esti matioo,has been unworthy of confidence, and therefore has he sent among us an army of un principled knaves and thieves, who have not only oppressed and purloined us of our individ ual substance, but almost bankrupted the State governments. As evidence of this latter asser tion read the following facts : North Carolina .- In 1861 the debt of *hls .State was about $12,000,000; In 1871 it was about $35,060,000. South Carolina.— In 1861, the debt of the Slate was $4,500,000; in .1871 it is $31,000,000. Florida —ln 1861 this State had a debt of on ly $371,000; now It has reached the enormous sum of $15,797,000. Georgia. - Our State debt in 1861 was $2,970,* 750. At present it is difficult to estimate. The known liabilities are about $20,000,000. Alabama^- Debt In 1861 about $8,000,000; in 1871 her liabilities amount to about $53,000,000. Mississippi. - -We have no estimate of its debt, but ft is enormous. In 1860 the cost of the State government watt $350,000; in 1870 it was over $2,000,000. Texas. —ln 1861 the debt was $2,000,000; now it is $15,000,000. Arkansas. —Debt in 1860 was $,784,000; now her liabilities are $19,000,000. Thus It will he seen that In nine Southern States, the aggregate public debt, Ims been in creased in ten years, from about thirty millions of dollars to upwards ol Itro hundred millions. And this deplorable condition of affairs bus been brought about directly by Gen. Grant, who has persisted in placing at the head of our local governments, the hose horn and unprincipled adventurers of the North, who sang hosannas to his name, whilst they villified and robbed the victims of their master’s hatred. This is the result of the carpet-bag policy so persistently carried out by IT.l T . S. Grant. Is ii not sufficient, of itself, to influence Southern men to temporarily discard partisan feeling and prejudice, and unite as one man, in a determin ed effort to drive from power the ignorant and debased official, who has disregarded every principle of honor, and fraternized with thieves, blackguards and perjured scoundrels. The interested apologists of the Grant admin iMratton, however, toll the people that the bulk of these State debts was contracted in prosecu ting the war inaugurated by the secession ele ment of the South. This is false, and Horace Greeley’s organ, the N. Y. Tribune, utters the j simple truth, when it unequivocally declares | that this whole range of mountains of debt is no J “War Debt.” That perished with the cause for which the war was waged. This debt is the hid tows offspring of Anarchy masquerading in the stolen lobes of Peace; it is the monstrous has tard begotten by carpet-baggers upon a ravished body politic. What a spectacle of scoundrels in all the places of trust and emolument!—of whole festoons of leeches swelling with the pub lie life-blood, until satiated they drop oft and sink Into their original obscurity!—of deprecia tion of those val tas, w hich among an agricultur al people, afford the best indications of prosper ity or of pauperism! Never was a more system atlc greed gratified by semi-legalized felonies! We inns* go hack to the provincial governments in the days of Roman d«cadence to find a paral lei. and even if we do so, the military mercena ries of the Empire seem moderate in comparison. And then look at the consistency of this Grant government. Asa Northern writer expresses it, the Radicals demand that the people of the Southern States shall be loyal, and such loyalty is made the condition of their .admission to nil the rights and immunities of .American citizens. They then proceed to harraas, worry and irritate i ns- -they steal the little wealth that is left us - j they muke our States merely foraging fields for an army of thieves, who contract gigantic debts ! without our consent—they ruin values, diruiq- I ish incomes, and quadruple taxations —and then i Grant and his mercenary, howling pack of I hounds, express astonishment that our people should be restless, impatient and indignant. In i one hand they carry the flap of the Unkin, but we caLuot respect or greet it with enthusiasm, j io’vrg as other is in .our js'ctors— r-*fw-ttSi j landing they vociferously shout, “Let us have Ui der this state of affairs, the duty of every man is plain : The thieves must be driven from power; and to accomplish this, as previously -fated, party feeling and prejudice must yield to necessity. Horace Greeley is the roproseu j tative of Reform; on that particular issue he has } been accepted by the people, lie is opposed to carpct-bag supremacy—bo has confidence in the honor, judgment and wisdom of Southern gen tlemen-—he is bitter in his denunciation of the thieves who have grow n rich on the substance of the people of the South; and fur these reasons alone every honest man can rally to the stan dard of Geeu.ky and Brown. Tlie Hfafe Itoad Lease. We have purposely refrained from referring to the report of the Committee that investigated the action pi the Executive attending the lease, to ex-Gov. Drown and others, of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, simply on the ground that we attributed to the General Assembly sufficient wisdom, discretion and honesty of purpose, as to beiievo they would act justly between the State and the lessees. As will be remembered, the majority of the Committee, reccommemhd that the lease be annuled. The whole question was thoroughly and ably discussed, last week, ! in the Senate, and we are happy to announce , that said body repudiated the majority report,! and by a vote of 31 yous to 9 nays, declared that ; the lease was fair and proper. This settles the 1 matter, we trust, for the next twenty years, and j we fiyl sanguine it meets the approval of a vast ■ majority of the people interested. The lease j was a Democratic measure, carried into effect j by a Radical Legislature, and now a Democrat- j ic Legislature ratifies the transaction. Resides j u monthly rental of twenty-five thousand dollars, j it takes the road out of State politics, where It 1 has been the fruitful parent of fraud, corruption ; and veualty, damaging to the dignify of the j Commonwealth. We think the trad* a good one. I and the Senate has manifested sound judgment in ratifying the transaction. A Duel on the Tapis. The atmosphere of Atlanta evidently has a tendency to cause the angry passions of men to rise anil they give vent thereto in hitter, biting words. A few days ngo “everybody, and bis family” expected that Drown and roomba would retire to a secluded retreat and take “pistols and coffee” “in ther’n;” and now “Old Tige” Anderson and Representative Goode are as piling for pugilistic honors or under the Code “that satis faction duo from one gentleman to another.” A week or ten days ago a member of the House was arrested by the police of'Atlanta, under a charge of being drunk and disorderly. 'I Ids incensed the House, and alter a whole day's disenssiofi, iu7regard to the outrage, tin* offending policemen were brought before the bar ol the House and reprimanded. During tin discussion Mr. Goode used harsh language in reference to the police of'Atlanta, which influ enced the following raid Irom General Ander son, which was published in the Constitution: Atlanta. Ga., August 10, 1b72. MiUors Constitution : I ask tor a small space in your columns to reply to some of the unwar ranted and malignant attacks made on the po lice by the lion. O. T. Goode in the House of Representatives yesterday. “He does not know and docs not care for the Atlanta Police.” \\ ell I presume we can survive the gentle man’s indifference. “ I lie Atlanta police are black spots upon her blight escutcheon.” Wonderful. Yet I boldly assert that, let them be black ns they may. every one of them can ! Aiow as bright a rocord fi r honesty, sobriety in teyrity and morality as the honorable gentle man. \\ lien he Charges that ti e Atlanta police are a set of “ruffians. \vh6 desecrate and disgrace the grey they wear, 1 hurl the foul imputation back to the villifler. These men did not dese crate the urey when they received the honora ble scars they are proud to wear--when lan-j guishing in Northern hastilesor in bloody battle, where they purchased their armless I sleeves us the price of their devotion to South- j ern rights and Southern liberty: nor did l cm know one of them to get out of the service save bu means of honorable wounds received while wearing ■ the grey und in honorable, discharge of duty. j G. T. Anderson, Chief ot Police. J Ijj response to this card, on the morning of the 1-1”. Mr. Goode rose in his place in the House, to a question of privilege, “lie said that his at tent ion luid been called to a scturilous article which had appeared iu Sunday’s Constitution, over the signature of Geo. T. Anderson. Chief ot Police, it the paper had a circulation no wider than this dirty creature's acquaintance, his low character and well known mendacity would make it unnecessary so reply to it. it Anderson ever had any claim to he considered a gentleman ho had forfeited it by his course in this matter. Anderson, if insulted, should have sought satisfaction, and not have published a card hurling back foul epithets. This is the cheap subterfuge of a coward. Anderson had long since placed himself beyond the pale of gentlemen. He had been informed that while an officer of the United States army he lmd grossly insulted gentlemen, and when challeng ed, the dastardly ruffian had refused to fight, and wgs tahoed and ostracised by his comrades lor his paltroonery. Like a whipped spaniel he continues to snarl at'gentlemen. Encased in a I panoply of infamy, he is *afe, and I dismiss him from notice. Ho took occasion to say that he lmd heard that the police were clover men, who tried to do what was right. He took pleasure in doing them justice by attributing whatever wrong they did to the misfortune of being com manded by an ignorant, brutal bully. A num ber of gentlemen were anxious to have Ander son arrested for breach of privilege. He begged them as a personal favor, not to do so, as he never expected to claim the privileges .of the House as a protection against either the as saults of gentlemen or the sneaking bite of a cowardly cur.” The Ku Ku x PmsoMNU.— I The Grant Radicals are becoming uneasy, in regard to the effect the torture of the Ku Klux prisoners, in the X. Y. penitentiary, will have on the Presidential elec tion. A dispatch from Washington, on the 10th, says “that since the letter of Gerritt Smith, in terceding for the imprisoned Ku Klux at Albany, similar recommendations have been received Irom influential Republicans. The report ot Colonel Whiteley, Chief ot the Secret Service, who has been directed by the President to in vestigate jas to the several cases, will be the basis of the President’s action, who has already intimated a willingness to comply with the sug gestious made. Butler, the Beast, thank God, will not be a supporter of HAraoe Greeley. Ho wavered in allegiance to Grant for a few days, but finally resolved to remain in the den of thieves.

The Union Republican Bai ty of Brooks cot n ty met in Convention at Quitman, on Saturday* the 10th insfc., and organized by calling Moses Knight to the Chair, and appointed Willis Red dick, Secretary. The Chair explained that the object of the meeting was for tho selection of delegates to the State CoLvi*ntion, to convene at Atlanta on the 21st inst., to nominate a candidate for Governor and Bres identlal electors. On motion the Chair appointed the following Committee to suggest suitable persons as dele gates, to wit: Daniel Vickers, William Brice, Aaron Adams, Richard Davis auf! Henry’liar vt *y* The Committee retired, and after consultation, suggested that William Brice and Willis Reddick be appointed delegates to the .State Convention. Tho reported was adopted. Theie being no further business, the Conven tion adjourned, to meet ngain on .Saturday, the 17th inst., for the purpose of raising the neces sary funds to defray expenses of delegates to the State convention. Moses Knight, Ch’u. Converted. —We are happy to state that a mrmgFt the Democrats who lmvo been under deep conviction ever since the meeting of the Baltimore Convention, there have been two hap py conveisions to the people’s cause, of those who were “straight-outs” of the strictest‘sort, viz: Elides, of the Quitman Banner, and Thomp son, of the Savannah News. These conversions were quite unexpected, except to those who ! could exercise a large amount of faith and who j knew the power of truth on sensible minds. | Hides, although only a few days ngo he was to all appearance a confirmed infidel, has had the great deep of his heart broken up, and having j sought pardon has found pence; and now, like a j good Democrat, occupies his place in the “Amen j corner” of the Democratic church, and has gone I earnestly to work in the vineyard. Thompson's i com-ersfotl don’t seem to be so bright lie ha- ; evidently left some duty undischarged, is vo ■ gardlng “iniquity in his heart,” or is depending ' too much on his own rightiffinsness, and conse quently has not been enabled to come to his: work with that zeal that is common to new con j verts. We suggest tlmt he raise the names oi l Greeley and Drown at the head of his columns, j and he will then be enabled to realize the “nn- j swer of a good conscience.” and go into the j work before him feeling more at home. To others we say, stilt there is room. There j are still some “persecuting Nanis” hi tho land ' that we hope to see smitten down before tin*! brightness of Democratic light.

A desperate effort will | be made to get control of the next Legislature, i and, should they fail in that, then of the next, or : tho next. Much is at stake, and they will not scruple to enter Georgia with their humlrecs of] ] thousands, and if possible subsidize her pre.-s and corrupt her people.

Kougli Rice, Ihe lml* pendent Can didate for Governor. I This gentleman, who is an independant ran didate for Governor in opposition to M. Smith, is now publishing a little Radical sheet in Atlanta, and champions the re-eleetion of Gen. Grant to the Presidency. He embellished Ibe first number of his radical sheet, with what he styles, a picture of the editor of the Quitman HawkH “on a gopher bunt” in the wire-grass regions. We are under obligations to Hough Mice for said gratuitous advertising, but our friends deem him a wretched artist, llis inten tions, however, were good, and therefore we re ciprocate by presenting the readers of the Bax nkk, with the picture of KOl'ail iUCK, IN’DEPJuXDKNT CANDIDATE FOR GOV- 1 K ' V vnP This picture was taken nine years ago in a stage-coach, and the gentleman may have im proved iu appearance.
