Saturday Morning,*—March 23,1875
OUR POLITICAL “ BULL KUN.”
After the first battle of Manassas, the
people of the South were exceedingly
jubilant. It is not too much to say that
they were drunken with victory. The
general feeling was that wo should wipe
out tiie whole “ Yankee nation ’ in a
short time and that the great civil revo
lution would bo “ sharp and quick” as
liulbeit would say, and that Southern
independence had already been assured
by victory in the very first general on
set. ’Stimulated thus to more joyous
enthusiasm than to real wary and stern
preparation for a severe and long con
flict of arms, our people for a while rest
ed in comparative assurance of easy
victory upon the laurels won on the
bloody and desperate though victorious
field of the first battlo. This was one
of the weaknesses inherent to Southern
confidence in Southern prowess, dis
played at a time when more cool and
determined resolution was required to
bo ready for what was coming. The
results of the war proved that victory
in the first battle is no evidence of suc
cess in the end.
Tho fall elections last year was a “ bull
run” to the Republican party as the first
battle of Manassn6 was a “ bull run” to
the Federal army. The greatest fear
to bo entertained now in regard to the
political situation is that our Democrat
ic friends all over the country may in
dulgc too freely in the bright hope, if
not assurance, that we shall put the Re
publican party to route next year with
great ease. If so, we shall bo greatly
mistaken. We are in no condition to
swagger in a boastful way that the Re
publican party is a “ dead cock in the
pit.” Its “ bull run” defeat of last fall
will only stimulate its leaders to more
determined effort and political chi
canery to shift the current of events into
their own favor. They are exhaustless
in their resources for concocting schemes
for political effect. The civil rights bill
is one of them; it was enacted with
that view, and it w ill greatly depend
upon tho temper of Southern people
as to whether the Republicans will be
able to turn tho effects of the civil rights
bill to thqir own account.
If the Democracy is to win the next
Presidential contest, we must move
along with u great deal of caution. We
can gain nothing by vituperative abuse
of the leading representatives of the
North in the Federal armies in the late
war. Our true policy is to keep out of
view, as much as possible, personal
abuse of mere individuals and direct
ouf assaults upon the vulnerable points
of the Republican party. It is weak
for us to conclude that tho Republican
party is dead or that it is destitute of
great vitality ; and the moment wo at
tempt to make tho issue of the cam
paign one of personal attack upon
Grant or his generals, that moment wc
shall begin to arouse the whole North
in his defense, and to rally the whole
war element in his support for a third
term. It may as well be understood
that the political reaction at the North
is attributable to the monstrous usurp
ations of the Radical party upon pop
ular rights, and not upon Grant, or
Sheridan or any of their military lead
ers in tho late war. Personally, Grant
is the strongest man at the North, say
what wc will, as Robert E. Lee would
be the strongest man South, personally,
were he alive. Grant is regarded as
tlio savior of tho Union, aud as such he
holds a magnetic influence over the
people of the whole North, especially
among the masses who are always
actuated more from impulse than from
any well settled and defined ideas of
correct principle.
It is to avoid, as far as our influence
goes, all false issues upon the
part of the Democratic party in view
of the next Presidential campaign, that
we take this early occasion to point out
the follies that may beset and overtake
us with disastrous effect in the next Pres-
dential campaign. Now is “ the seed
time of ideas” in connection with that
campaign. Discussion thus early may
have the effect of placing the Democrat
ic party on tho line of a harmonious
understanding of the tactics which
shall govern us in unity in that cam
paign—for widiout a better unity than
we had in 1872, we shall disclose our
weakness in a division that will bring
disaster again to the cause of free gov
ernment and popular rights in that con
test. It is to promote unity upon the
basis of correct principles wo suggest
that wo cannot afford to fritter away
“the seed time of ideas” in making
mere personal assaults upon individuals,
while we should be assiduously en
gaged in correctly forming our own
lines of battle preparatory to a success
ful and victorious assault upon the
measures of the Radical party and Its
usurpations upon popular rights. Let
noc the blind policy of 1872 lead ds
again to disaster.
We have had quite enough of the
childish tactics of false leaders in the
delusive and puerile cry of “ any body
to beat Grant.” It is his party that wo
desire to beat, and in heating it we beat
both. We cannot so effectually accom
plish this great object in any other way
as by a wise and cautious conduct of
public affairs and a firm adhesion to
the great principles that underlie and
form the basis of all good government
and secure to the people tho great bless
ings of popular liberty.
UUfl CITY IIONUI.
It is to be hoped that the existing
propositions for a settlement of our city's
indebtedness wRl result in succes. The
plan and terms proposed are to the ex
tent of our capacity and resources to
meet. They constitute the most favora
ble basis upon which the eity can possi
hie settio with the holders of her bonds.
To attempt to do more would be an un
dertaking that could not lie consummated,
and the holder! of our bonds would ho
exacting more than the resources of the
tax-payers could meet without entailing
upon them a burthen under which they
could not live. It would he an oppres
sion that would crush out nil energy and
reduce the means of payment that would
involve bankruptcy, and the loss to the
holders of our bonds would be far great
er than they would he under the propos
ed settle meut.
It is, therefore, to the interest of the
eity and holders of her bonds that the
latter should accede to the terms of set
tlement proposed ns the best that can ho
offered in tho solving of the perplexing
question. It would give Rome a chance
to revive her industry, and trade and to
meet her obligations with promptness.
The bondholders would not sustain any
loss thereby. The terms proposed give
them the amount of money they have
invested with interest at 7 per cent., aud
make sure to them the payment of future
interest and the redemption of the new
bonds at maturity. The propositions are
fair and equitablo under all the circum
stances and quite liberal on the part of
the city in view of her crippled condi
tion.
As lias been stated, there were $200,■
000 of the bonds represented in the meet
ing here on Monday, the 15th inst. It
is a matter of encouragement that a spiv
it of good feeling was manifested on that
occasion and the holders present or rep-
representing others exhibited a disposi
tion to accommodate themselves to the
situation aud accept tho best terms we
could give them. It is to be hoped that
the spirit of the consultation here will
have its proper influence with all the
holders ef our bonds that will result in
a fair and honorable compromise of
most complicated question, and one that
cannot be settled except in the way of
compromise.
Tho citizens of Rome feel keenly the
condition in which our fluancial affairs
aro ; they regret exceedingly that we are
unable to meet the obligations of the city
dollar for dollar; but they realize the
necessity of a settlement in justice to
themselves and to bondholders. They
knoni they cannot benr the burden of a
settlement equal to the demands of the
bonds; but they are willing aud anx
ious to offer and carry out tlio best terms
they can possibly comply with—believing
that an intelligent comprehension of tho
situation by the holders of our bonds
will constrain them to accept the best
terms that can be offered in an extrem?
cose.
We have referred to this subject again
with the view of impressing what has
already been said in these columns, and
to reiterate the true condition of Rome
in regard to lifer bonds.
The Citizens is after the young men of
Dalton, and asks. “What are these ris
ing young men doing to improve then-
mental and moral condition?” Anoth
er paragraph in the paper answers the
question thusly: “The gamo of ‘sweeps’
is all the go with the boys of Dal
ton just now. The boy that has the
largest number of marbles and is capa
ble of winning more is the champion.
The gamo is merely an innocent (?)
form of gambling, suitable for boys.”
If we possessed tho brine of a Niobe,
we Bhould feel compelled to shed tears
for the Dalton young men.
The Indiana editors are out ona free
hash raid in this direction. The party
consists of about seventy-five editors,
many of them accompanied by their
ladies. The trip will include stops at
Memphis, Little Rock, Jackson, Vicks
burg, Now Orleans, Mobile, Montgome
ry, Atlanta, Evansville, and many oth
er points of interest. A Gulf ride, and
an excursion up tho country from Tal
lahassee, are included in the program
me. If we were not eat out, we should
invite them to Rome to look at our
water works, the monument of our
greatness. We shoul like to see the wo
men anyhow.
Mr. Stephens ought to whisper a few
words to tuc Savannah Advertiser, and
arrest Its desperate purpose to-butt its
brainB out against a post,
TBK CIVIL RllillTS EVIL.
. The passage of' the civil rights bill
does not prove the boon to the negroes
as they anticipated it would. Every
where they have attempted to carry
its provisions into practice they hnve
met either with rebuff or with no success.
It will eventually become a dead letter
law, if tho people will just only prove
themselves as “wise as serpents aud ns
harmless os doves.” It will uot require long
to wear the patience of the negro thread
bare in his "wild hunt” after social equal
ity with the whites. All the powers of
Christendom cannot enforce such an un
natural association of the two races.
We would advise the colored people
to “go slow” on this question. They have
everything to lose and nothing to gain in
their attempts to force themselves where
they arc not wanted. Indeed, we have
no idea that the better class of them will
give any trouble on this score. Tho trou
ble will only erunc from the turbulent
class who hove nothing to lose.
We advise the white people to he cau
tious with the negroes, but firm and can
did with them, and wo shall get along
together all the better for so doing.
Killing ix Chattooga County.—
The Gazette, of Thursday, contained the
account of the desperate rccontro on
Wednesday, in which Mr, Levi Ackrldgc
was killed by Mr. E. L. Kirby, son of
Judge Kirby. Several parties were some
way into the fight, and everybody who
had a pistol, had it out for action. The
killing was done by n double-barrel shot
gun. Mr. Kirby made Ids escape,
hut his father will endeavor to have him
before a court of examination to-day.
Wo will give the full particulars from
the Gazette in Tuesday's Courier.
The Rome Courier demands em
phatically that Treasurer Jones shall tell
to whom lie paid the 8152,000 worth of
bonds about which there is some doubt,”
says the Atlanta Herald. It is duo to
truth to state that The Courier has not
made any demand of the sort.
Tlio Savannah Advertiser is very rest
less.’ It says “ Mr. Stephens has been
unfaithful to tho trust reposed in him, or
very much misunderstood.” Mr. Stepli
ens is not "misunderstood" by those who
are intelligently familiar with tho pro
ceedings of Congress
Au old lady of Green county, Tenn.,
one hundred and ton years old, slipped

such accidents, be hanged if we care
how long life lasts.
Let it bo remembered, and that in
shame, that Alexander H. Stephens
refused to vote against the civil rights
bill.—Sumter Republican.
And now let it be remembered, also,
the Republican doesn’t know v.liat it is

Acres of Skeletons Unearthed
by the Flood.
The high water of the recent flood
washed about four feet of earth from
ten or fifteen acres of land lying along
the Tennessee river, on the farm of
Mr. Jas. Prater, near Louisivlilo, in
Blount county, About two feet of soil
was removed from the same ground by
the high tide of 1867.
When the waters subsided, after the
last flood, a strange speetaelo was pre
sented. The whole of the denuded
area was covered with skeletons. Some
were straight, some reclining, some
doubled up, and some in a silting pos
ture. There were tiie osseous forms of
infants, of children and of full grown
person. Mr. Prater has counted over a
thousand forms.
The steamer City of Knoxville, on
her last trip, brought eomo of these
bones to Chattanooga, and Mr. Crawford,
the clerk of the Knoxville, presented
us with a skull.
Persons who have lived in the vicini
ty of this mysterious cemetry for sixty-
five years never heard of any human
bones being discovered there before.
•The skeletons, we understand, are
not found in a mound, nor in what ap
pears to be an artificial formation of the
earth.
We understand one or more mounds
were partially washed away in Meigs
county, disclosing several skeletons,
stone hatchets and pipes, and im
plements common among the Ju
lians.
The skeletons in Blount county pro
bably occupy a burying ground, which,
lerlntps centuries ago was covered up
ly tlio same agency which has now ex
posed its occupants to view.—Challa-
nooija Times.

‘Pinchbeck is disqunli icd by tho pro
vision in the Constitution which de
clares that a Senator shall have been
nine years a citizen of the United
States. According to tho decision of
tne United States Supreme Court in the
Dred Scott case, negroes were not ci
tizens of the United States, and it Was
not until 1868, when the fourteenth
amendment was declared to have been
duly ratified, that they became such
citizens.” The Ex President seems to
be the first to take this view oi the case
and in our opinion it fits the black

comfortably in tho Senate, quite, as

this long period, tho influence of The
Courier 1ms been directed .to the end
of promoting the great interests of this
section of the State—sparing neither
pains or expense in doing all it could
to advance the same. The result is
that its career lias been prosperous and
its influence very decided in the discus
sion of all questions involving the in
terests of the people and of the country

In politics, The Courier shall, as al-
ways, be firm, but conservative and
respectful to those who may differ with
its views ; but, in defense of tho hon

advocate and defender of the masses,
the hard-working people, whether mer
chants, professional men, tillers of the
soil, mechanics or laborers. To these
we look for support in the maintenance
of 1 the right.
Its Circulation.
Perhaps, there is no paper in Cliero
kee Georgia that has a finer circulation
among the people who trade at Romo

efforts to place it in the hands of it
home people—those whoso chief ram
