(.1 ITMAN liAKJMiK. QUITMAN: .TiItJK.iDAY, JUNE 20. 1 7,5. Ofiii'trrurj' -lln 31 igic I’o’.vei', A northern deq'ocratic journal in of j the op uiou that it will be impecsihle to j ever drive the Radii ft! party from power j by any organization"under the name of “Demucrnej," because, as it allege*, the name is associated with “treason” and “rebellion.” Thi* is an absurdity, for if there is a word in our language that has a magic ring, to rally the Aon,of people of the land, that word is “Ih morrucy.” It touches at once every chord of our be iug, because in itself it comprise* all the i best men have dreamed. all the greatest! sages have thought, all the highest flights | of human reason have reached, ft epito- ; mixes all the results of the painful labors j of mankind from the nub ilcu pts of I savage ignorance to the beautiful fabric of civilization. It is like a briliunt pin acle perched on a high rugged hill, up which struggling millions have tolled and are still toiling. Democracy 'he rights of the people ! Not the rights < f individ uals, not the rights of east, or , lass, or , •action, hut the rights of all. Nothing selfish, partial, limited, but, the full rec ognition of each one’s claim, the unfet tered development of each one’s faculties, the unrestricted enjoyment of each one’s rights. This is Democracy. It is won derful that its trumpet sounds have awakened mankind from the sleep of lethargy, that at its echoes the ramparts of prejudice, the strong fastness of tyr-' anny and fanaticism have been earth quake shaken, tottered and fdi. It is tie most potent name ever inscribed on party banner and in years g, no by was the harbenger of victory. It is born from no local passion, from no sciti-di interest, from no personal prejudice, t om notran ■ciont expediency oy passing cause; it* vi tal spark is on eternal truth. It claims nothing at the expense of ot hers, it stands upon the immutable found: t -on of itfpnty and justice. Even those that ,-ppoae it, dare not sunder every bond. Those that leave it, frequently return. Democracy is the pride of our land; it is that, which has made it the shining beacon of man kind, the star of hope to j resent and fu ture generations. Not our shipping that, dot* every sea, not our fciple, boundless lauds, not our inventions and gigantic | strides, make ns the wonder of Ihe world. These are but the offspring, the practical manifestations of the great, principles embodied in our party name- the rights of the people, the rights of all. Radical ism is sectional Democracy is national, universal. Can the most prolific bruin invent a just cause that is not embraced in its protecting arms ? Is there a wrong against which it has no weapons? That noble tree that grows only in the richest soil, the young roots of wlii, h are fed with the blood of patriot, men, that noble tree extends its sheltering branches over eye, -y thing that is good an 1 just, but wrong and error cannot live long within its realm. That party which watched over the birth of this nation, which sat by its cradle, which reared t to its youth ful manhood, that party shall be its guar dian angel ho long ns Providence has de creed to prolong its days. Then let no rash imagining no impale lit ardor to drive from power the pres< nt party rul ers, seduce the unwary from a brother-; hood which has ever been faithful to its trust. L-t no on* rashly condemn, where results have been so grand, end abandon the Wight lights of the past for a fitful will-o’-the-wisp of the presclii. There is no taint of “treason" and “re belliou" on the proud es, uteheon of the Democraty. The charge »s false, and the pen that proclaimed it was influenced by passion and not hv reason. If it was “treason” to constitutional liberty, for the South to battle for the rights of her citizens, then is the charge not specially applicable to the Democraty -for men of all jrnrt e* wore the grey and were marshalled under the banner of the “stars and bars.” Hut even if title, that the Confederate i cutest war a war of politi cal parties, ejld that tie Democracy was represented hr the Southern legions,even then the charge of “treason" would he unjust, for the struggle v , , m defense' of ftrindpk* principles advocated and proclaimed hv the Democracy -the equal right* of all. under the constitution of our father*.

This terrible disease is prevailing to a limited extent in almost all the larger towns of Tennessee, but at Nashville its ravages are shocking. The number of deaths will average fifty per day. The senior editor of the Atlanta Constitution, who passed through that city a few days ago, writes that “the half is not known. The courts, schools, banks, and nearly every other place of business are closed. Silence, disease and death, reign supreme in the once happy and prosperous city. Not less than 16,000 people have fled from its fatal precincts, and the rest are going as fast as they can obtain trans portation.” The Constitution of Tuesday last, refer ring to the terrible condition of Nash ville, says that twenty-eight negroes died within a stone’s throw of each other at New Bethel, a negro settlement two mile s from the city; they are included in the above deaths. It is feared that few in the settlement will escape the scourge. ,The settlement consists of small wooden shanties, having veiy little breathing space, with small gardens of vegetables attached. The negroes live poorly from hand to mouth, and drink the seeping of limestone water, which physicians say is very pernicious. The scene in the set tlement is horrible; dead bodies, shriveled and pinched up with disease and left as skeletons with the skin clinging closely to the hare hones, and husbands and wive* and orphan children weeping, cry* ing, praying, shouting and preaching. The negroes have grown very supersti tious. Their colored advisers tell them that the Lord put them here and gave them vegetables to eat, and they should eat them; that, they would not die unless the Lord willed it; that they should pay no attention to the medicines of the white physicians, because they are given to make them sleep the long sleep. Ef forts are making to afford them relief. Sol<l Out--.I Xegro Ini/ter. The Selma Times* o admirably ex presses our views in regutd to the recent conduct of General Beauregard, iiwpre siding at a disgraceful amalgamation and social equality meeting in the city of New Orleans, that wc appropriate the ar ticle entire. The Times says that, Gen. Beauregard was once an honored General in the Con federate armies. When Gen. Butler was occupying New Orleans, insulting the women of the city, and having them, un der his order, spoken of as common cour tesans, Beauregard was in runumuid of Confederate soldiers, mid was calling up on the women of the South to send up their church hells, with which to make cannon to slay the insuliers of their sis ters, and to defend their property and homes. To-day, Butler, with alibis scoundreli-m, is ,t man more to he re spected by Southern people, than the de graded ex confederate who has cowered, under adverse surroundings, und report*, as chairman of a committee in New Or leans, a system of social equality, (hat. goes further than Sumner's Civil Rights Bill. He dictates for the future, himself, and calls upon lii.s fellow-citizens to do the same, to the “unieication of our people,” and in the second resolution states, that by our people, we mean all men of whatever race, color or religion, who are citizens of Louisiana. Unifica tion means making one of different things. Beauregard would, for the sake of har mony, amalgamate the races, and place on tonus of perfect equality in churches, theatres, on ears and on steamboats, in cemeteries and at hotels, in schools and banking houses, in the social circle and at the family fireside, the negro and the white man. This is from General Beau regard, a, once honored General of the Lost Cause. To w liat base uses do we come. And to-day in Southern circles of social respectability, and throughout the world where Caueassian blood flows, the name of IL n Butler should be re sounded iu songs of praise, and Judas Iscariot Is considered a high-toned gen tleman, before this unifier of negro and white bleed bo treated with the courtesy that would be meted out to the meat ig norant negro who toils in our midst. Or nanllle or Sovereigns? Those desirous of a glimpse of the spirit that animates the "Granges” and “Patrons” in the "Northwest, may get some insight by reading tln> following inscriptions taken at random from ban ners borne by a procession of five thous and farnn-is that marched the streets of Laurence. Kansas, a few days since ; “Down with Banksaudup with “No Quarters to Monopoly !" “Equal Taxation !” “God Speed the Plough!” United we Stand. Divided we Fall;” “Live and Let Live!" “Money Kings, Beware 1" [ “The Ides of November, ’73!" j “Farmers Will be Free !” “Harmony!” “No More Parasites!” ! “Less Offices, Less Laws. Less Taxes, j and More Justice!” ! “Industry Will be Rewarded!” “Farmers to the Front Politicians to | the Rear!” “Peaceably if we Can - Forcibly if we j Must “Reform or Revolution!” “Vox Ponuli!” j “Passes Up Salt River Free!” "Fraternity, Equality and Fair Ex ! change!” ! There were 171 deaths in New Yoik hist week. SLA \DEK. by a totiY rair.ND or Tin. qcitran “Woe wait the tongue that gives to slander’s gale, Falsehood's frail barque 'neath truth's unsul lied mil,” The person who penned these lines must, have been one who had experienced that “there„are storms upon life’s dark waters,” who also bad noticed with an observant eye the passing scenes iu the drama of life; and who certainly could not have been a stranger to the sacred volume of eternal life. Wc find that the sentiment* above expressed are not only admitted by universal consent, but also are verified by daily experience, and dis tinctly declared by the omniscient Ruler of the universe, in the volume of his will. Where can we find a character baser, or more despicable in the sight of God and man, than is the slanderer or back-biter? where can we find more depravity of heart and corruptness of nature ? His soul is closed to every noble impulse, and by his acts is manifest that sneaking, as sassin-like disposition, which is despica ble liotb in man and beast,. He is des titute of every act that ennobles man, and of that charity, which without, a person is a “tinkling cymbal and as sounding brass.” But it is a lamentable fact, that this vice is seldom unattended by others equally an objectionable. Show me a slanderer, one who is habitually ac customed to speak ill of his neighbor, and I will show you a self conceited, proud and censorious person. How frequently is it. the case, that in passing sentence upon others, they condemn also them selves. They think not of “the beam” and “the mote,” and also that, “with what measure ye mete, it shall be meas ured to you again.” True it i* that the sharpest tongues and the foulest minds generally go together. Slander is rec ognized not only us a sin, but as a hein ous sin in the sight of our Maker. His word is full of denunciation against those . who follow so nefarious a practice. The language of one irtspired writer is, “who so privily slandereth his neighbor bim will I cut off;” and again, “whoso ulter oth slander is a fool.” We have also the express prohibition, “speak not evil one of another.” And the omnipotent de claret, h, that they shall have “neymrt in his kingdom.” Lord who shall abide in thy holy hill ! Mark the answer : “He Unit hockhileth not with his tongue.” It is impossible, then, fora practice so strong ly denounced by Holy Writ, to gain prev alence, or to exist even in one instance, in a community, without being of incal culable injury to the good order, har mony and happiness of society. You would expect t,o find the latter where the former prevails, with as much prospect, of success as you would “Heck mellow grapes beneath the lev pole, Seek blooming rosea oil (lie olieek of death, And substance in a world ol fleeting shades," How often it is that communities and societies are rent asunder, and every spark of sociality and confidence destroy ed by t hose who have “the poison of asps under their lips.” How often is it that the tenderest feelings of the heart, the fondest hopes and expectations are crush ed, the buds of promise and the germs of future usefulness are blasted as by the simoon, or seared as bv the breath of a demon; truly “death and life are in the* power of the tongue.” The slanderer in hales a fatal atmosphere; it is like that of the deadly Upas tree, nothing pure, good or virtuous can exist within his con taminated vicinity; the very air he breathes is pregnant with death. We certainly deem him a deeper died villain and more worthy of the vengeance of the law, than is even the highway robber; for true are the sentiments of the poet : “Who steals my purse steals trash; ’tis some thing, nothing; 'Twns mine, ’tis his, ami lias been slave to tlion sands; Hni bo who filches from me niv good name, Hobs me ot that whitdi not enriches him, And it)n kvs me poor culm?.” The one comes openly, with gain ns an incentive, and demands your purse. The other, prompted only by malice or envy, strikes at you in the dark with a pois oned stiletto. He strikes not for that which will profit him, hut with the “green eyed monster” rankling in his heart ruled by “tyranous hate,” he strikes at your character, and at your good name. He attempts to take from you that, des titute of which, though you possessed the wealth of.Crcesns, - though you could call the diamonds of Peru your own,-- and though the treasures of Potosi or Gol couda might swell your coffers,- yet des titute of this,you would be “poor indeed,” “for ’t is rather to be chosen than riches,” and is more valuable than life itself. Who then, we ask, of these two charac ters, acts the baser part : Which is the more worthy of the execration of every community ?—which should have the stamp of Cain written with indelible char act 11 sos burning infamy upon his brow? Let the crushed hopes of many an ach ing heart reply; let the pale forms of those who have found a refuge from the fiorv shafts of slander, in a premature grave, give the sad and solemn, but too true response. Let the slanderer hear, and read the words of Holy Writ, which we again repeat: “Whoso ]>riTily slan dereth his neighbor, him will I cut off.” If he hope for heaven, and wishes to shun eternal misery, let him heed the friendly warning, and put a bridle upon his tougue, and tuia from tl» error of his way. Quitman, June Iff, 1873. EDITORIAL BREVITIES GKO RGI A. —A Mr. Holliday was killed by a con stable and posse of citizens in Jackson county, last week.

One was aged about nine years and the other fifteen months. The elder child attempted to kindle a fife by pouring the kerosene oil on the wood. A brace of students at the North Georgia Agricultural College, in Dahlon- Cga, indulged in the duello last week. They met in the hall-way, and took three pops each at the other, but of course, without effect. The ■’‘chivalrous” youths were reprimanded that’s all. On the authority of the Atlanta Her ald, there are now sixty granges of the j Patrons of Husbandry in Georgia, and ; the number is increasing rapidly. —After the 30th of the present month j letters will be delivered in all parts of i the city of Savannah by carriers.

It appears that there is to he a regular I old fashioned Spanish Bull fight at St. Augustine, Fla., at an early day. In re- I gard to the affair the Frees of that city : has the following : | “Each champion must register his j name, weapons and costume, which lat- \ ter must be approved by the committee; j for no one will be allowed to enter the ' arena without being properly and suita bly attired and equipped. Each one, be- j fore entering his name on the register,! must sign a bond, in the penal sum of j ? 100, and proper security, to fight or j pay the forfeit of f>so. The prize for j killing the bull will be handsome. If the first champion kills the bull, a cer tain forfeit, sufficient to cover the cost of i equipment, will be paid each of the oth- [ er champions. The prizes for maiming; or vanquishing the bull will be proper- j tionate. The place of contest is the natural amphitheatre, bounded on the north by Hangman's Creek, and sur- j rounded on all the other sides by the sand hills. The arena will be enclosed j by a tall and strong fence of palisades. The seats will surround it, rising in three tiers, the highest for the ladies. Cham pions can fight on foot or horseback. All must be attired in suitable armor! representing that of the knights and es- | quires of the middle ages of Europe; : though it may be tin or tinsel. Those; who fight on foot must wear a morion ■ and hauberk; unless a mounted kmglit dismounts and fights on foot, when he 1 can fight with as complete a panoply as j if mounted. Before any champion en ters the arena he must appear on a stage, with ensign armorial blazoned on his shield and his adopted name or title. Thus, “Roland” “Sir Kenneth of the Couchant Leopard,” A c Each champi- i on must also select some lady from the spectators, before whom, on one knee, : he must swear his devotion, and proclaim ! her the most beautiful, lovely and ae eomplished in that company, and for whom he goes to do battle with the bull, I and whose honor he will uphole, likd a ! true knight, &e., Ac. Finally, after registration, the assumed name of each j champion will be exposed in all the ho- j t.els, with his arms, eusign armorial, Ac.” j All the “youths unknown to fame” in the | vicinity of ILaigman’s creek are burn- ; ishiug up their armor (of tin or tinsel),! prepared to "do or die.” Mo.shy'a Views. The Famous Mosby has been inter- ; viewed. He says he is opposed to the ! Conservative party of his State because ; its war on the administration throws all the patronage out of the hands of the true people of Virginia. Its policy is wrong in that it arrays the whites against the negroes. General Grant has been i liberal in appointing his (Meshy's) friends to office, and has done it to show his j earnest desire to conciliate the people of the South. He has secured from the President appointments for some of the I best officers and men of his late com mand, and in his (Mosby’s) opinion there never can be genuine reconstruction un til the Federal offices in the South are filled with men who at the same time are true to the national government and to the people of their own States. He thinks the conservative party cn masse ought to go over to Grant, and in his opinion four years from now Grant will; be the candidate of the whole Southern people for President . — Sav. Advertiser, j Mixing ix the New York Schools. Three colored girls were admitted to the-: Normal College of New York on Thurs day last, and ten were admitted to the grammar schools iu Twelfth street. The ! Sun says at the opening of the College on Friday morning Mr. Thomas Hunter, the President, addressed the pupils, say ing that the colored children had as much j right there as the whites if they were j found equally competent after an exam ination made by him. He approved the ' law \ghich gave equal rights to all in the schools, cars, theatres, hotels, and all public institutions. Arming the Negroes in Cuba. The New York Herald says that the steamer Morro Castle, which left New . York ,ou Tuesday for Havanna, took three thousand Remington rifles and up wards of a million of fixed cartridges for the use of the negroes who have been lately ordered by Captain General Piel taiu to proceed to the trocha. The or- ; der is. however, understood to be a mere subterfuge, and the men in question are to be taken out to fight the Cubans on account of the scarcity of the Spanish troops.
