The of the United States
(Jitcuil Court, Mil session at Savannah,
last week lonnd trno hill* against Jphn
Register, Wrn. Ricks and Win. Horne,
Mith on the chargrf of whipping a certain
Mr. and tor "conspiring against
the constitutional franchise” of Mr.
Ifardrick.
On Fridhy the parties were nrraigned,
and hy advise of their attorney,, filed a
p|< aof guilty in the Hardrick indict
merit,|aud the District Attorney entered a
nohe proMmyui iu the other. Whereup
oti Judge Krskine sentenced the three to
terms of imprisonment in Chatham conn
ty jail of five months, and to fines of one
thousand dollars each.
• All three of the gentlemen are farmers
of moderate means, and totally enable
to pay the fine assessed—conseqnentfy
they will bo relieved of the payment of
the same. At Urn expiration of their
term of Imprisonment, all that will be
necessary will be for them to appear bo
fore a Commissioner and make affidavit
to their inability to pay tho amount.
Ae regards the jurisdiction of the Court
that took cognizance oT these cases, we
agree we agree with the Morning News,
that the United States Court exceeded*
its nuthorily. The oflenso was peculiar
ly within the province of the State Courts,
and was devoid of any national or politi
cal significance, and the authorities of
Georgia aro amply able to protect our
citizens and punish all offenders. Whilst
not condoning in tho least the orime of
these parties in assnming to thus correct
in a snmmnry manner an evil which
should and could have bpen abated by a
proper appeal to the law, we cannot but
view tho action of the Government in
taking the matter out of the control of
the .Stale Courts as an unpardonable
stretch of authority, for which, however,
there seems to bo no redress. With
equal propriety could tho numerous as
sault and battery cases which aro almost
daily brought boforo our magisterial
courts bo included under this model act
known as the enforcement bill.
A War of Knees in Louisiana.
Gen. Grant's "peaco policy” towards
Louisiana, has at Inst culminated in
strife and wholesale slaughter. In de
fiance of popular sentiment and the ex
pressed wish of tho intelligent masses,
the Washington government decreed
that the mongrel Kellogg-l’incliback
faction should be respected ns the legal
government of the State. To this great
outrage the respectable white portion of
tho population quietly submitted, but
entered a solemn protest, which was bar
reu of good results. Tho countenance
thus given to the Kellogg faction, em
boldened its adherents to further outra
ges; and a reckless and desperate Radi
cal negro, named Ward (a member of
the Legislators), organized a blnck mob
and took forcible possession of the town
of Colfax—drjving tho Sheriff and other
officers out of the parish. The mob
consisted of several "hundred brutal, ig
norant negroes, and upon securing qnict
possession of tbo town, they searched
and plundered houses, insulted women,
invaded the graves of the dead, aud fin
ally drove tho white women nnd children
from tho place, and 'threw up fortifica
tions for defeuoe. Thus outraged, the
whites of the surrounding country ora
g a nixed for self defence, and on
Sunday, the 13th inet., a determined
body of men, led bv the Sheriff, advanced
•n Colfax. On their arrival in tho sub
urbs, a flag of truce was sent to the
blacks, asking their surrender, and in
case of refusal warned them of probable
results. Tbo negroes refused all terms,
whereupon Jhe whites charged the
bieastworks and the valiant defouders
retreated, taxing refuge in (he Court
House, fr.in which they kept tip an in
cessant fire for two hours. Finally, a
friendly negro was bribed to fire tire
court house, which was successfully done.
After a vain attempt to extinguish tho
flames, the blacks displayed a white flag
in token of surrender. Two white men
immediately advanced, but on reaching
the doors of the court house, they were
shot down. Tho negroes then rushed
out in a body, and the whites, being ter
ribly infuriated, fired into tbo mass as
they came out, killing them wherever
found.
Sixty negroes were killed and wound
ed, while the whites lost only one killed
and two wounded. The negroes had im
provised several rude cannon from old
cast iron pomps, which were loaded with
slugs and discharged. A white man
named .Calhoun, and the negro Ward,
referred to above, were the instigators
of the ontrage, both of whom escaped
from the town before the fight. Now,
who is responsible for this terrible oat
rage? Unquestionably the Washington
goveroment, which persists in requiring
the white citizens of Louisiana to occupy
a subordinate position to alien enemies
and an inferior race.
The Modoc War.
The murder of Gen. Canby by the
Modoc Indians, and the great excite
ment created in consequence, naturally
influences the belief, that it is a formid
able tribe, aid that protracted warfare
will envoi . This is an entire mistake:
the government lias magnified a mole
hill IntoH nidblitftln, and has a purpose
in creating a sensation. The fact is,
that formidable warlike tribe, nnmbcre
only si sty seeen persons all told, includ
ing men, women and children. The
government has acted in bad faith
with the tribe—it could not secure its
rights by peaceful means—aud, driven
to desperation, it has resolved to sacri
fice its existence rather than longer sob
mit to injustice.
In reference to the locality iu which
the Modocs are intrenched, Prof. Hay
don says that the lava beds of Oregon
arc an outfiox of volcanic matter, form
ing a fierlect sea of melted rock, which,
in gtednally cooling, became broken.
Innumerable little streams have worked
their way through, and the whole place
is filled with caycrns. They oftentimes
connect with one another, and extend
lor miles under tbo ground. They vary
in width from fifty to five or six hun
dred feet. The entrances to them Bra
very small, aud therefor# oon easily be
defended. The lava beds comprise from
fifty to one hundred square miles.”
The Indiana aie perfectly familiar with
the lara beds, and can bid defiance to
the soldiers for mrnths, especially,#s the
“Modocs" are similar to the "Digger”
Indians, anff live upon rabbits, lizards,
snakes, mice, and all kinds of h u ß* an *l
insects, which arc foond in the numer
ous caves.
Tho Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Hun writes, that calculations
have been made by person* oonversant
with the expense of Indian warfare, and
the conclusion arrived at, <o exterminate
the tribe, it will cost $75,000 per head—
which will net the snug little sum of $5,
065,000.
Lab r intelligence from tho seat of war
was received at Washington on the 19th.
After two days fighting, says a Jispatcli,
"the Modocs fled to the hills Southwest
oftho lava beds. They took but one
scalp. The soldiers took four prisoners,
including Scar Faced Charley. '1 he
Warm Spring Indians fought well, steal
ing upon the Modocs, and ever ready to
take nod hold any advantage. The to
tal Federal loss is ten wounded und five
killed. Eight Indians are known tb be
killed. Tho Modocs arc traveling to
wards tho W illow Springs, whore they
expect assistance from the tribe of that
name. The cavalry, with their Indian
allies, aro in pursuit. It is feared the
Modocs will divide up in small bauds
and greatly damage settlers."
The Colfax Tragedy.
Tho terrible figr, I* at Culfax, Grant
Farieh, La., is a perfect God send to the
Radical liars, who are paid liberally (or
defaming tho Southern people—nnd
thereby furnishing a pretext for Federal
outrages. A dispatch from New Or
leans jn the 18th, is as follows :
Late news from the scene of hostili
tics at Grant Pariah, shows that the
mnsAcre of negroes at Colfax Court
House was even more horrible nnd com
plete than at first reported. It appears
that not a single colored man was killed
until all of them had surrendered to the
whites, when one hundred negroes were
shot down in cold blood. After the
butchery the whites scattered in every
direction. Many of them left tor the
Texas border."
The facts in tho case, ns recounted
elsewhere, are, that the whites desired
to avoid bloodshed, they suggested a
surrender before a shot was fired by
them; and after the Court House was fir
ed, aud a white flag exhibited, the black
fiends fired upon the white messengers
of mercy. If our people had failed to
slaughter tho brutes after such treat
ment, they would have been less tbau
men.
The editor of the Quitman Rakeer has
never been to Blakely, as is evident from
the fact that he says Quitman can boast
of the prettiest ladies and the prettiest
town that God’s son ever shown upon.
Come ,ovcr to Blakely, bn tber Fildcs,
and learn how badly you are misiakeo.
—Early County Neua.
Impossible, brother Flemming; we
cannot Jbo mistaken. You, no doubt,
have a very pretty, progressive little
town, and beautitul, intelligent ladioa,
hut words are Inadequate to do justice
to Quitman and her jewels. We arc nl
most afraid to invite our ootoniporary to
visit this tlysium—as it is possible that
tho readers of his efcellent journal would
have reason to censure us lor depriving
them of a model editor, and Blakely of a
good and clever citizen. He woold im
mediately shout " Eureka,” and here he
would anchor. •
A Negro Cadet. —The Macon Telegraph
says that Freeman, tho Radical repre
sentative in Congress from the Atlanta
district, has appointed Henry Ossiau
Flipper—Phoebus ! What a name—an
Atlanta negro, to a ’cadetship at West
Point. Flipper was the only applicant
for the position —perhaps because Free
man didn’t let any white folks know that
there was a vacancy.
Editorial Brevities.
Harris, the talented and clever editor
of the Morning Ne tea, has a peculiar style
of designating a negro. Tie says : “A
female of the coloied way of curling her
hair,recently gave birth to three chil
dren” in Marietta.
Georgia is to be officially represented
at the great Vienna Exposition. Gover
nor Smith has appointed a Mr. Slaymak
er as her .representative.
The Blsckalieai Georgian has recently
been considerably improved in typo
graphical appearance, and Col. S. W .
Baker is now its editor. The Colonel is
a fine writer, sud knows what to keep out
of a,psper.
The Macon agency for the sale of the
new Geoigia eight per cent, bonds, has
of SIOO,OOO worth. A planter
in Lauren;) couuty took $30,000. We
also learn that the Trustees of Mr. Nut
ting’s Macon Bank have authorised the
>n vestment of $50,000 in said bonds.
The body of Jim Cleveland, colored,
who was murdered on tbs 28th o#Marcb
by bis wife and a negro man, was found
a few days ago m o swamp.
Atlanta bag had a terrible poisoning
case. Dr. Craig, Judge Puliatn aud Mr.
Joyps, a chemist, repaired to tbs cellar
of a drug store to take a drink of
key. By mistake the liqoor was flavored
with aconite instead of orange water.
Dr. Craig died in a tew hour*, Judge
Puliam narrowly escaped death, aud Mr
Jones was made very sick. Aconite is a
deadly poison.
Judge Hopkins, in Fulton Superior
Conrt, declaros the provisions of the act
of 1870, requiring an affidavit ot the
payment of taxes on notes, was unconsti
tutional and void. This decision is in
consonance with that recently mado by
the U. S Superior Court.
The Temperance Lodge at Ouslcy is
accomplishing great good. Almost eve
ry lady and gentleman in the vicinity
tiave taken the pledge of total abstinence,
and tho only bur room «*» the pluco lias
been closed.
VVc gave an account some five or six
weeks ago, says the Atlanta Sun, of an
attack on a party oLUnited States Mar
shals, in Forsyth county, hy a body of
citizens, In which one or two wore killed
and several . wounded. Among the
wounded was Marshal Blacker, iu com
mand ol the squad. Two ol tho attack
ing party, Harrison Barker and Ira Han
sard, escaped, and was captured a few
days ago in Kansas CWty, Mo.
In tho event of the extension’ of the
Railroad beyond Bainbridge to Pollard,
it is believed that tho workshops of the
Company will he transferred to Thumos
ville. Consequently certain property it*
that progressive city is now held at in
haled prices.
Mr. Robert West, of Polk oouaty, was
run over by a wagon team recently, and
killed.
Vice President Wilson has discovered
that the "salary steal” is very unpopu
lar, and has in consequence returned his
share, $t,400, to the Treasury. Pablic
opinion sometimes exercises a wonderful
effect.
A dispatch from San Francisco says
that a Chinese smsll pex patient escaped
(rom a pest house, and ran, nuked, iuto
a street car filled with Ihdies. There
were several weak-minded male fools in
the car who fled at tbeappearuoce of the i
crazy Chinese.
Ou last Saturday evening a white man,
named Boswick, was killed by VV. V.
Goodwin, near Station 1J on ttie A. &G.
Railroad. Goodwin surrendered him
self to the Sheriff in Savannah, and
claims that his conduct was in self-de
fense.
At 12 o’c'ock on Saturday night, a
seaman, in Savannah, bad his skull frac
tured by a negro, aud it is probable the
man will die. Tho negro made his es
cape.
Judge E. J. Harden, of Savannah, and
for many years the recipient of high
official positions st the hands of the peo
ple, died at Indian Springs, where he
had gone for his health, on Saturday last.
The deceased was a relative of our es
teemed County Judge, Edward R. Har
den .
There are eleven cases of small pox,
all negroes, in the Angusta pest house.
The disease is reported spreading among
that race.
The body of W. E. Reese, of Warren
county, was recently discovered iu a
dense canebrake. The head was torn
from the hi dy by dogs, and the remains
terribly mutillated. The deceased was
of unsound mind, snd it is supposed
committed suicide.
Mr. R. M. Johnson will hereafter as
sist in the editorial conduct of the Bain
bridge Democrat. He is a ready writer
and good editor.
A train of cars fell through a bridge
on the Stonington, Conn., snd Boston
railroad on Saturday. Six cars were
burned, and ninety five persons killed
There is a happy nigger in Raleigh,
N. C. Whilst tearmg down a building
a sow days ago, he found a package of
money rolled up in paper, containing
some twenty thousand dollars iu old State
bonds, some Confederate bonds, and some
five hundred dollars in gold and silver,
aud two watches.
Tlie ftetpauiibUitT*
The New York Herald baa the follow
ing sensible and correct comment in re
gard to where the responsibility reals
(or the Louisiana massacre. It saye :
Now, the question arises, “Where
lies the responsibility for this bloody and
disgraceful affair?’’ The responsibility
attaches first to the national adminis
tration i r lMiXt it falls npnn Congress, ami
next upon Governor Kellogg. The mis
taken policy of General Grant In bebatf
of peace in Louisiana has been product
ivo only of mischief, confusion sbd dis
order. It is hut justice to him, howev
er, to say that he appealed to Congress
at the late session for a settlement of
this embroglio, and that Congress, lack
ing the moral courage to settle it, left
the whole subject to the discretion of the
Presidfent, as the two houses left t! e
Moi mon difficulty, and that the Presi
dent, ailltering to tbe Kellogg Govern
ment, as he had notified Congress he
should do, if left to his own discretion,
has aiade it de facto the State
government. We cora«iWhen, to Gov
ernor Kellogg. He advised a comprom
ise pf this Colfax difficulty; hut it was
his duty to inform himself of the exact
Situation of affairs there, and to arrest
Ward and his negro followers before rr
immediately after their advance npon
the town. For failing in this duty he
should be called to acconot. He is evi
dently unequal to his positio i As for
the slaughter of the negroes, it is a pun
ishment which they stupidly brought
upon themselves. We hope the lesson,
throughout the South, will do them good,
in teaching them tbe folly of appealing
to arms for the redress offanciod wrongs
or the vindication of imaginary political
rights. They ought to know that a war
of races means the extermination of the
black race, and that in el*ry appeal to
arms they are sure to he severely pun
ished President Grant, meantime,
ahould bring Kellogg to a strict account
for big apparently criminal negligence
in this business.
The District Conference.
| Rcv.S. 8. Sweet informs os that the
| Conference of the Tliomasvillc District
| of the South Georgia Conference, which
| met in Blackshear on the 10th iriat., was
| largely attended, and that the meeting
I was a very interesting and harmonioua
j one. Bishop George F. Pierce presided,
' and tbe reports from the various atinrch
i es was qn to encouraging.
I During the meeting of the Conference
quite a revival of religion was created
Jat Blackshear. A number had joined
tire church; and on last Sunday night
| fifty persons were at the altar. The
meeting was continued during the pres
ent week, and great good no doubt will
be accomplished.
Robbisg Tnr. Mails. —For mouths past,
the popular and reliublo publishers,
' Messrs. Hunter & Cos , of Hinsdale, N. 11,
have been annoyed and dismayed at the
immense losses of valuable letters which
wore dai'y occurring. Aided by tbe
chief Detective and two special P. 0.
Agents, they have at last the satisfac
tion of seeing the thief—a night clerk in
the Boston P. o.—“behind the bars." and
I he had confessed all. Messrs. H. &
I Co.’s losses have been enormous; in fact,
|no exact estimate can at present be
! made. The thief carefully examined,
aided by a light, every letter, and took
every one that contained mojn-y. He
was caught in the act and arrested, aud,
if lie gets his dues, will board with the
State for from five to ten years. Mean
lime the prosperous business of Hunter
& Cos. goes on with its usuai energy,
promptness and care, and those who
have lost money by mail will now see
just where it went, and avoid giving the
blame to honest persons.

Inman SvkksMier.— A dispatch from
San Francisco on th*> 21st, says tliat the
two worst bands of Apacbes in Arizona,
have submitted unconditionally. They
have defied the Government f r twenty
years, but two hundred of their Warriors
killed in the last campaign brought them
despair. General (Irook accepted their
surrendei by their chiefs, whs promised
to seod word to outside parties to “eorne

sion that all this was not religion.
