HUMAN BANNER. QUITMAN: THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1873. Si vs) minlt KfpnMlrani Tliis time-honored journal, which for wrentT-odd years has been a valuable vehicle of information, and a l»old and fearless advocate of great political truths, on last Saturday succumbed to inexora ble fate, and surrendered forever its name and existence. It is now classed among the things of the dead past; but its glorious record will live in the future, so long as there are eyes to read and brains to comprehend great, inoral and political truths. Messrs. Bkard & Kimball, the enter prising proprietors of the Savannah Ad vert iter, are the purchasers es the Ilepuh lican,.and have merged it, with the for mer, under the name of the Advertiser ts- Republican. The change, no doubt, will prove advantageous, and we predict for the combination, a brilliant and prosper ous future. A Trngeilv hi Lake City. A terrible tragedy occurred at Lake City, Florida, on Wednesday of last week, by whieh Paul W. Crews lost his life, and a negro named Moore, will in all probability die, from the effects of a serious wound. It apjiearH that, consid erable excitement hos prevailed at. Lake City ever since t.ho midnight riot of March last, and recently Crews attempt ed, by a publication in the Savannah New*, over the signature of ft respecta ble citi/.en, fco implicate an innocent par ty in the riot alluded to. His connec tion with the transaction w;is exposed; which was so extremely mortifying, that, he got, drunk, became very boisterous, and used his fire-arms in a reckless man ner. Finally, three negroes, Jordon, Moore and Hightower, approached him with guns and pistols in their hands: Crews fired and wounded Moore fatally, and then fired at Hightower, when the latter shot. Cnu dead, and although wounded, inatbWls escajHj. End of ihe Modoc Wnr—Capt .lack a Prisoner. To the gioat, relief of the blundering government at, Washington, “Capt. Jack, of the Lava Beds,” has surrendered, and the Indian war has reached its finale. By death anil capture the Modoc force hud lieon reduced to Captain Jock, two warriors, and several wotnen and chil dren, and these were forced to surrender on last, Sunday evening. The dispatch, giving particulars of the last act, in the huge farce, was dated “Clear Lake, Cal., June Ist.," and is as follows: A set ion of prolonged yells and cheers aroused this camp from a pleasant siesta a half hour after the departure of my last courier. Generals Davis and Whea ton and other officers, and all the men, rushed from home and tents to find the cause of the uproar, and at once the whole camp was in commotion. Dovjn the level plain, north of the house, was a grand cavalcade of mounted horsemen. The steeds rushed forward at once at a furious rate, and soon neared the groups of spectators scattered about the premi ses. “Capt. Jack is captured,” shouted a sturdy sergeant,, and again the valley mug with cheers and yells. The moun ted command was Perry’s. He had re turned from a scout of 23 miles above the mouth of Willow Creek. At, half past, ten o’clock this morning the Warm Spring scouts struck a trail, and after a brief search the Modoes were discovered. Col. Perry surrounded the Indian re treats ami bis men were bound to fight. Suddenly a Modoc shot out from the rocks with a white flag. Hemet a Warm Spring Indian, and said Jack wanted to surrender. Three scouts were sent to meet Jack. He came out cautiously, glancing about him » moment and thin, as if giving up all hojan, conic forward and held out his hauds to his visitors. Then two of his warriors, five squaws and seven children darted forth and joined him in the sur render. Capt. Jack is about forty years old, five feet eight inches high, and compact ly built. He is full of individuality, and although dressed in old clothes, he looks every inch a chief. He does not ajieuk to any one. The Modocs are grouped in a field near the house and surrounded by a gitard. The spectators peered into Jack's face with eager interest., but he beholds them not. He is still as a stat ute. , . MC.IV I lti*lit»” in !>li»Bis*i|ijii. A correspondent of the Rich mond DisjMteh says the State “civil rights" bill in Mississippi does not seem to give white folks much trouble. He saw only one negro in a first class rail way car, and he looked “mighty lone some," anil the hotel keepers, &c., are sharp enough to evade it very effectually. In a test case at Vicksburg, recently, a Radical Judge whom the negroes had elected decided that it was unconstitu tional; whereupon the Sambos rose in their wrath and decided, at an indigna tion meeting, that hereafter they would put none but their own color ujxm the bench. If the white knaves who put the negroes up to demanding and passing such laws had either sense or memory they might see the fate of these laws in that of the fugitive slave law at, the North. Public opinion was against the law, and in the end —as it always will— proved stronger than the law. -—A fire occurred at Vaiden, Miss., on the 28th, and destroyed ,*102,000 worth of projiertv. It was the work of an iu cendiarv. HORTICULTURAL AND FLORAL EXHIBITION AT THOMA3VILLE. We were present on last Friday at the grand Horticultural and Floral exhibi tion, on the Fair grounds of the “South Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical Association," situated a short distance from the enterprising city of Tbomas ville; and we are happy to announce that the affair waa a complete success. The display of every character of Spring vegetables far surpassed our most sanguine expectations, and the flo ral exhibition was ically magnificent: there were beautiful wreaths, towering pyramids, imposing crosses, splendid boquets, <fcc., all giving evidence of the admirable taste and artistic skill of the fair ladies of Thomas. The floral exhi bition was the centre of attraction, and although a thousand tongues uttered words of praise, they were but a faint tribute of appreciation of the real merits of this most wonderful display. In the vegetable line there were, in profusion, cabbages, turnips, lieets, on ions, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, squash es, cucumbers, Ac., Ac., and wo unhesi tatingly give it as our opinion, that the display, as to size, quality and variety, cannot be excelled in any country. 'The exhibition, therefore, was a success, and no doubt will influence an annual repeti tion. It was more attractive than the annual Fairs of the South Georgia Ag ricultural Association, and furnished a true illustration of the wealth of our sbil and advantages of this delightful cli mate. The premiums awarded on this occa sion were as* follows : REGULAR PREMIUMS. For tlic best anil largest collection of vegeta bles— s|i> divided between John Stark and K. TANARUS, Davis. For Die second best, ditto. $5, A. Gardner. Best Irish Potatoes, sa, Dr. J. I. Groover, of Brooks. Best Cabbages. Mrs. Dr. Stegall. Best Beets. $5. Mrs. S. A. Haves. Best Beans, $.5. Mr. Lena Neal.

SPECIAL PREMIUMS. For handsomest boqnet, #f>, Mrs. Bushing. Best wreathe, #.l, Miss Lon Beall. Best prepared Lunch Basket, $5, Mrs. G. J. Norris, Best collection of Squashes, s.l, Capt. W.

For the cleanest, nicest dressed, and finest looking baby, under two years of age, if ft, Car lotla. daughter of S. Goldstono. The attendance at the exhibition far exceeded the expectation of the clever people of Thomasville. They came from Boinbridge on the west, Albany on the north, Blackshear on the east, and Montieollo on the South, and all the in termediate country was represented by its manhood anil beauty. Wo should judge there wore present between fifteen hundred and two thousand persons,, and all appeared to intensely enjoy the oc casion. The Thomasville and Quitman Cornet Bands furnished splendid music, and the ladies and gentlemen of the city and county vied with each other in extending courtesies to the visitors. A splendid dinner was served on the grounds, and for variety, quality and quantity of viands, it was unexception able. Everybody cat to their heart’s content, and still there was an abundance remaining to supply a regiment. The Quitman Cornet Band, although two very important instruments were missing, crowned itself with laurels. It received the plaudets of not only the citizens of Thomasville, but likewise the vast concourse of visitors, for the digni fied and manly deportment of its mem bers, and the very excellent- music fur nished. The Thomasville Band also plays well, and we particularly admired its beautiful uniform. The citizens look upon tlxeir band with great pride, and extend to it generous encouragement. Personally, we are under many obliga tions to several of the citizens of Thorn asQUe for courtesies, on this occasion, and especially to our esteemed friend, Capt. T. S. Paine, and his beautiful and accomplished lady. Aliiltmn in Parvo. In a very few lines the Memphis Ap peal furnishes the whole argument in fa vor of cotton factories at the South: The Columbus (Ga.,) factories consumed in the year 187*2, six thousand two hun dred and eighty bales of cotton, against four thousand nine hundred and eleven the year previous. If this cotton had been sold at eighteen cents per pound it would have realized five hundred and fifty-eight thousand seven hundred and twenty dollars. It was passed through the Columbus mills, its value trebled, and sold to the country north, south, I east and West for one million six hun- I dred and seventy-six thousand one hun | dred and sixty dollars. Tims, Columbus cleared one million 0.. e hundred and seventeen thousand four hundred and forty dollars, and retains the money here, because she has the spirit to erect and maintain factories. —Five persons wore killed by falling walls at the recent fire in Boston. —A dispatch from Dayton, Ohio, says that President Grant’s father "erpecUi to die in June.” Wonder if there will be “no postponement on account of the weather r” 18 DEMOCRACY DEAD ? The Memphis Ledger, under the above caption, says, we have no means of know ing the distinctive features whieh dis tinguish one party from another except by the principles professed by each. Corruption will creep among men into the party in power until the sterner vir tue of the people of a republic is roused to reform. And then, if there is life in the land, and a party with principles is ready organized, it has the vantage ground and should la: the nucleus around which such Republican integrity as re mains should rally and array itself. By this process alone is constitutional gov ernment ever to lie restored ? The Dem ocratic principles are known and as fa miliar as A B C’s to all, and, in the se lection of public officials, they demand in substance as defined and summed up by the founder and their greatest apos tle and advocate, nothing more and noth ing less than honesty, capacity and integ- rity to the Constitution. To advocate these is now what the Administration party and some renegade spoil hunters are pleased to denominate in derision, fogyisin and fossil hunting. But. their advancement must necessarily prove as fatal to the well-being of the country as the desertion of the maxims of ethics to the good morals or the authoritative enunciations of divine truth to the relig ion of a people. Nobody doubts what any of these are. The only doubt is whether a majority of our people in these demoralized times will march up to them and stand upon jthem. And this is a doubt whether we are to have free insti tutions any more forever on this conti nent, which is impossible when the land marks and principles of their founders are abandoned. It is easier to sneer, and in corrupt times it may be more popular, to ridicule than to seriously ponder and prers truths of any sort. And then it may be well for our country if it should have some “fossil” principles, and men who will lie bravo and self-sacrificing enough to hunt them up. Suppose the men of old-fashioned ideas, who love their country and the good old ways, whieh in bettor days could not be de parted (from without disgrace, should rally now for the salvation of the land from misrule. What then ? Would it be a proper subject for honest congratu lation or for satireand contempt? Would it bo desirable, and result well or ill? Would the press sentinels, on the watch towers of liberty, which should encour age and labor for such a consummation most deserve the approval or condemna tion of reflecting and judicious men, whose opinions alone are worth regard ing ? The settled principles of the Dem ocratic party of this country at this day are the same by whieh W’higs and Dem ocrats alike were sworn, and whieh but a few years ago none dared so much as at tempt to parry. They stand out dis tinctly and unmistakably as the lights which God has set in His firmament on high. Whether they are to be abandon ed or adherred to is now the issue on trial before the people, on which hangs the future of liberty. The men of “pro gress” now have taken up the older rule than all, that of expediency rather than principle, and on this subject the Mobile Register says better than we can do: “If a Democratic platform is built on the ground of expediency, with an eye to pleasing and uniting the greatest numl>er, the work is a failure from the beginning. But, built of the solid timber of unques tionable Democratic principles —a plat form of the era of Andrew Jackson — while many may hesitate and question the expediency of certain planks, none will question the purity, the authenticity and the enduring worth of the whole structure. In other words, if vou would have your house stand, build it on the solid rook of principle, and not on the shifting sands of expediency. Nothing is more common than to hear it confidently said that the Democratic party has lived out its days of usefulness and possible life—“played out,” to use a common phrase; but this is not because Democratic principles have lost any of their salt, or saving power. Indeed, they are the very medicine for the politi cal ills of the hour. Applied to the rules of government at Washington, eve ry disorder on the body politic, from Maine to Texas, would melt away, like the mists of a morning before a summer sun. Why, then, will not the Demo cratic party reorganize and spring to the front of governmental power in this country? If it does not, it will la l sim ply because the men who belong to and believe in it, have been frightened out of their wits and courage by the howl of its enemies, that its day is gone; that the war has revolutionized the government; that the republic has entered upon anew era of progress; that might has subju gated right; that our fathers’ wisdom is turned to foolishness, and their children into slaves, because we have had a civil i war of four years’ duration. What American Democrats need is faith in their faith—its energetic and saving principles, in its power to work reform, to restore liberty and right to forty mil lions of people, and to abuse bad men who have stolen into high places, and to root out the pernicious practices and I principles that have brought the institu | tions of our ancestors to the verge of de ] struction. Yes, it is easy enough to find out what Democratic principles are, but ' to find men with the nerve and the cour -1 age to uphold them, hie labor, hoc opus est. | Democrats have got the cause; all they want, is the pluck to stand up to it. We are of those who firrnlv believe in Demo cratic resurrection. Not to believe it would be to lose faith in the native sense of the American people, and to give them 1 over to a master.” EDITORIAL BREVITIES GEORGIA. —A negro child in Augusta was so badly bitten by rats, one night last week, that it died.
