•‘THE CiREELEY (’111 LO.-OIMI V »
Wo lm<l lioped fur huiiio weeks Unit
there would bt no further attempt made,
at least iu Georgia, to fix the status of
the Democratic party, in view of the
next or any future Presidential campaign,
on the line of “the philosophy of Gree-
loyisra.” We had also hoped timt^he
subject would not again be referrod to in
any manner, ns it is a very disturbing
element in the Democratic party, and n
revival of it can do no possible good,
but certainly a great deal of harm to the
unity and harmony of the party. Why
n certain class of politicians do not see
the wisdom of iguoring entirely any ref-
e;ence to the disastrous policy of 1872,
instead exerting their peworand influence
to ‘lie promotion of the Democratic par
ty On strictly Democratic principles, is
difficult to understand. And why these
unfortunate issues should he constantly
shaken in the faces of the Democracy, is
a problem wo cannot understand -except
upon the hypothesis that we have a few
would-be leaders who cither desire to rad
icalize the party or to weaken its forces
in the interest of the opposition.
It'is'enough for nny tine Democrat to
know that the great body of the party—
the •* rank mid file”--accepted the fal
lacious policy of 1872 under protest; and
every intelligent Dcmoer.it at all
familiar with the temper of the party,
must know that n similar attempt, in
1870, however remote it may be, will be
more disastrous than that of the Greeley
finitno. Those who arc acquainted with
the people must understand that they
{thepeople) will not submit to lie led into
any lutu e blundering policy of the sort.
They nccop ed the issues of the campaign
of 1872-under protest; they accepted “the
situation” with the full uud explicit un
derstanding Unit they took Greeley ns the
less of evils anil not as an eiidol's menjt
of the Republican pla'form constructed
at Cincinnati and endorsed at HaUimore
Sufth we know to have been the feelings
of prominent Democrats at the time and
sinco tho fallacious policy of that cam
puign.was dem i.islruted in the most dis
graceful defeat known to Ameiicaii po
litical history.
Mr. F. II. Alfrieud, an Atlanta cor
respondent of the Courier-Journal, who
seems utterly and irretrievably commit
ted to Groely ism, in n letter to that pa
per, attempts to commit Hon. 15. II. Hill
squaroly to the support of the same doc
trine, notwithstanding Mr. Hill, in the
recent Congressional campaign in the
Ninth, pronounced himself tho foe of re
construction, upon tho principles of
which tho eutiro fabric of “ the Greeley
philosophy” rests, and without which it
could not possibly have existed. Mr.
Hill defeated Estes in part because lie
was so opposed to reconstruction aud the
infamies growing out of tlieso measures,
and because Estes, os wo understand it,
endorsed the reconstruction usurpations.
And, yet, Mr. Alfriend attempts to show
that Mr. Hill was elected as an endorse
ment of Grceloyisra, because, forsooth,
Mr. Hill was an active Greeley advocate
in 1872, when, in fact, tho question of
Grceleyism had nothing whatever to do
with the issues of that campaign, and
was scarcely thought of.
If the Democratic par.y is to bo again
led into the so-called Liberal trap, there
aro thousands of Democrats who will not
follow. Upon tills point there is an in
flexible purposo upon the part of ‘the
masses not to be so misled—a fact known
to every man who is at all familiar with
popular sentiment and do not go to so
called leaders for his information ns to
tho popular feeling. Aud we would
humbly but earnestly warn tho people
against tho leadership of men who thus
assume to speak for and to mako up
their opinions for them in backroom con
claves composed of politicians who have
no fixed political principles outside of
present purposes or selfish political de
signs. Nowhere else in the South, or nny
where in the country, save in Georgia,
has there been nny recent attempt made
to fix tho status of the Democratic party
upon tho line of “tho philosophy of Gree'-
leyism”—an issue or feature iu our poli
tics which is left everywhere else to fade
out of sight as a blunder to be retrieved
by an utter ignorance of its having ever
existed, and by a return to tho nneient
landmarks of tho old party.
Gov. Allen, of Ohio, Eaton, of Con-
necticutt, nmj Stephens, of Georgia, aro
truo exponents of tho Democratic spirit
of tho country. Mr. Hill is another in
his declaration in tho recent enmpain
that he was a foe to reconstruction, and
that if lie ever hated anything it was re
construction, and that it should he the
business of his life to make it odious. If
Mr. Hill is to do this, how can he accom
plish the noble and patriotic task by an
adherence to a “philosophy" based upon
a recognition of tho reconstruction nsur-

Render, don’t lie an editor—not in hot

yourself and lie in the shade and fan

and a great deal nicer. Hence, our ad

Up to the 2nd Inst., it has been the
negro vs. the white man. It has been
the negro to assert his rights under tho

Federal capital to present the rice rerun.
suit was entered in Washington City,
on Friday last, by a white man against
Henry Smith, who keeps a lodging-
house, for ejecting him from his house,
saying that he would accommodate no
white person.
Wo admiro the pluck of the negro.
Ho did tho white man just exactly

“THE EOURTH OK .1111,V.”
Opening the Uoosa.
riils is an important subject and one
tho successful issue of which Mont
gomery is deeply interested. A pro
position is now on foot to establish an
armory for the United States Govern
ment at Rome, and if this is done the
efforts to open the Coosa will be re
doubled. The rich country which will
bo in direct communication with Mont
gomery by means of tho Coosa River,
is worth struggling for.—Montgomery
Adecrtiser.
The Coosa river will be opened and
that speedily. There is nit a shadow
of dquht that Congress will add tho
Alabama and Coosa as one river to the
annual appropriation bill and have the
obstructions removed under the super
vision of Federal engineers. Why
not? Congress has removed obstruc
tions from every other important navi
gable river in tho country. Wo feel
confident that our representatives im
mediately interested in tho country
drained by these rivers, Messrs. Brom
berg, Williams, Caldwell, and Forney
will leave nothing uncone to secure an
ample nngunl appropriation which,
with such assistance as tho State should
givointho way of convict labor,will in a
few years enable a steamboat to run
from Rome, Georgia, to Mobile.—Mo
bile Register.
Every oho knows tho course of the
Coosa ttivor, ruiyiig as it does nearly
centrally through the State. What a
great advantage it will be not only to
the cities and towns immediatly upon
the river, but to the Shite at large. It
has been almost un'vcrsally acknowl
edged that Alabama lias more natural
resources than almost nay State in the
Union, and all aro willing to acknowl-
riglit in kicking that white fellow out
fur presuming to thrust himself where
he was not wanted.
If we wore a negro hotel keeper, wo
would nlloiv uo white man to pollute
our bods with his carcass. Smith thor
oughly understands his rights and tho
best interests of his business ; and he
was'riglit in ejecting the “white trash”
from his house. Hurrah for Smith!
May ho live to see his rights vindicated.
His vindication will lie that of both

At the time of writing this article
yesterday Atlanta was the scene of a
gala day that will doubtless be long re
membered by those who participated
upon the occasion. It will mark an
epocli in Georgia, we trust, from which
will be dated a demonstration, in the
South in favor of peace and reconcilia
tion that will he maintained and kept
in tact fur centuries. It will show to
the world.that Georgia still cherishes
the noble deeds of the brave fathers of
tho Republic who shed their blood for
tho cause of civil liberty.
We take it that the glorious Fourth
of July lias been reconsecrated in the
hearts of the people of Georgia, never
again to bo ignored in the calendar of
a people born to freedom with the love
of freedom still burning brightly upon
thb altar of their affections. We trust
that the demonstration in Atlanta yes
terday was but another pledge of the
people of this Stato in behalf of the
Union of our fathers upon the basis of
constitutional freedom and public lib
erty, and that wo shall yet see in trutli
and in fact that this is “ the land of tho
freo and the home of tho bravo.”
Tho time for sulking silence has
past—especially in Georgia wdierc tho
true men of this grand old Stato have
overthrown oppression and re-estab
lished the law of order and justice, and
planted upon tho ramparts of liberty
tho banners of justico and fraternity.
May he who spoko in Atlanta yesterday,
tho apostle oi liberty as wo may call
him, live long to enjoy tho blessings of
a restored republican and demacratic
government. Alexander II. Stephens
was a fit representative of the past
generation to deliver to the pre3ont gen
oration—from sire to son—tho great
message of liberty, and to echo in words
tho glad tidings that pealed fortli Irom

We shall publish, in our next issue, n

the distinguished civil engineer, in regard
to tho opening of our rivers to naviga

letter, is the most comprehensively han

yet seen. Wo hope our readers will all
give it a careful perusal.
We aro raising n trio of lightning

Tiie Direct Cable.—New York, July
3.—Officers of tho direct cable com
pany say that for nbout ten days after
connection was established the company
sent dispatches about their own busi
ness through tiie cable as well as pri
vate dispatches for their friends. It
was found, however, that tiie fault ex
isted which although not serious, was
ono of moment enough to induce tiie
company to require the makers of the
cable to repair it before it was accept
ed. Tho fault was located and the
vessel was sent out to repair it
Thursday. A dispatch was received
through the cable from tho vessel saying
that it was expected that tho work
would bo completed by yesterday, but
no further intelligence from the vessel
has been received.
Washington, July 3.—Tho executive
committee of tiie grangers national
grange continued their session to-day
in this city. Dr. Worrall representing
the co-operative societies of England,
was introduced to tho committee and
submitted for their consideration a
proposition for fraternal co-operation
jetween thb patrons of husbandry and
the co-operation England. Dr. Worrall
lias four associates en route, who are
daily expected, to aid him in effecting
his object. A sub-committee consist
ing of Mr. D. T. Choice, of New Hamp
shire, and J. E. Jones, of Arkansas, was
appointed to take the whole subject un
der consideration and report at the
next meeting of the committee
Monday next. Tho committee aho
had under consideration tho removal of
the headquarters of tho national grange,
but reached no conclusion. Four cities,
Nashville, Louisville, Indianapolis and
Cincinnati, offer special inducements.
Cincinnati is especially anxious to se
cure headquarters and proposed to send
a delegation of prominent citizens to
Washington to confer with the cxecu-
tivoj committee, but the latter notified
them that they must submit the pro
position in writing, and that no delega
tion will be received, A proposition
looking to tho improvement of the busi
ness interest of tiie order was referred
to a sub-committee. The sum of 8500
was donated to-day to the patrons in
Colorado, suffering from the ravages of
the grasshoppers.
Since tho passage of the new bank
act in January last, sixty-five new na
tional banks have been organized, with
a capital of 80,914,000. Only one of
them is located in the cotton states, and
that is a small Tennessee bank, with a
capital of 850,000. On tiie other hand
most of the southern states show ft de
crease in national bank circulation
Georgia has lost 8370,000; Kentucky,
884,000; Louisiana, 845,000; Maryland,
8150,330; Missouri, 8360,000; South
Carolina, $180,000; Tennessee, 8225,000
Texas, 845,000; Virginia,8208,8000 ;and
West Virginia 8303,930. Tho not in
crease amounts to $4,576,420, of which
83,320,470 is in Massassachusetts. The
national bank system is a powerful le
ver in tho hands of oustern capitalists
to control the whole country.
Lo! tho Poor Indian!
St. Louis, July 4.—Col Buudinot,
who hasjust returned from tho Indian
Territory, says twenty-seven murder
cases have just been disposed of by the
United States District, Court at ’ Fort
Smith, Ark., before which tribunal all
the criminal cases from the Indian Na
tions are brought. Out of this number
eight persons were convicted of mur
der in tho first degree, seven convicted,
including two boys, or.e seventeen and
the other nineteen years' of age, to he
hanged together on the 3d of September
next; the eighth, a negro, was kilh-'i al
ter bis convicticn, while attempting
to escape Irom the guard.
Much outlawry prevails in the In
dian Territory, and ton men have been
killed in the vicinity of FortSmith with
in a few months. A very hitter contest
is now going on in the Cherokee Na
tion between tho Ross and Downing
parties for tiie position of chiefs, and
rumors of conspiracy and assassinations
are rife. Col. VV. P. Itisi, til > present
chief, a candidate for re-election, and a
man named Thompson is the candi
date for the Downing party.
An extract from the Jlosdinan Manta-
no Times, says tho PefSes and Bannock
Indians have combined against the
Sioux, and that the Sioux were being
overpowered. Tho steamer Bozeman of
tho Pease expedition, was sunk near
Hunter’s springs about two weeks ago,
and all arms and supplies, and Pease’s
papers were lost, but no human lives
were sacrificd.
The Black Hills Eldorado.—Dis
patches from tho Black Hills Geologi
cal Expedition indicate that near Har
ney’s l’enk gold has really been found
in payingquantities. Tiie correspondent
of the New York Tribune accompany
ing the expedition writes that, after the
party entered the unexplored region
front the east, they struck a granito for
mation and gold-bearing quartz, be
sides finding gold in flakes in the gulch
es. Prof. Jenny, Lieut. Morton and Dr.
Lane, of the Government expedition,
are said to be satisfied that gold exists
there. Whether it will lie found in suf
ficient quantities to till tho pockets of
tiie thousands who are waiting to crowd
into tho Hills, makes no difference.
The people will go, in spite of restric
tions, and possess tiie land on the mere
intimation that gold is there. If Gen.
Custar had never rambled in that vi
cinity, tho Indians to-day miffltbe rest
ing in secure possession of this refresh
ing and ricli oasis.—Courier-Journal.
Tiie preparations for the state fair
are rapidly progressing. Arrangements
have been made for excursion rates
from all the principal cities of the coun
try, and an influx of articles and visi
tors from abroad is expected. Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, and Thurman,
of Ohio, will certainly be present. Mr.
Johnston, secretary of the society, is
now visiting the northern cities to in
duce manufacturers and stock growers
to send their products and animals to
the fair. To use the words of the Tele-
a h, every Georgian should strive to
o it a grand success, and the true
exponent of the varied productions of
our favored commonwealth.
German Catholics.—The recent
abrogation of three articles of tho con
stitution of tho German Empire which
brings the Roman Catholic Church in
Germany in complete subjection to tiie
Government, and tho severity of the
Fulok laws passed in 1S73 arc showing
results in the flight of German ecclesi
astics to the United States. Tho tele

J edfersonian Democracy.—Tho very
sight of tho words “Jeffersonian De
mocracy” causes Mr. Alfriend to have
the horrors. Now Grceleyism sunk the
Democratic party into the deepest of
pits, and that old Jeffersonian Demo
crat, Wm. Allen, of Ohio, broke the
spell of the enchanter and dragged the
victim “from the jaws of perdition.”

yoars, have suffered great pain in my baok, hipi
and side, with great difficulty In passing urine
wbioh was often and in very small n untities’
fr-quontly accompanied with blood aud excru-
liating pain.
I have faithfully tried most ol the popular
romolies recommended for my complaint; I have
been under tho t eatmeiitof some of tie moit
skillful physicians in Boston, all of whom pro-
nounced uiy ease incurable. This was my con
dition when ( was advised by a friend to try the
VEGETINE, and I oould see tho good effects
from the first doso I took, and ftom thit
moment I kept on improving until I was
entirely cured, taking in all, I should think,
about six bottles.
It is indeed a valuable modieine, and if I
should be afflicted again in the same way, 1
would give a dollar for a dose, if I could not get
it without. Respectfully,

11. Ji. Stevens— Dear Sir: la expressing my
thank.i to you fir benefits derived from the use of
VEGETINE, aud to benefit others I will state:
When oight or nine } ears old I was afflicted
with Scrofula, which made Its appearance in my
eyes, face and head, and I was very near blind
• or two years. All kiuds of operations were
performod on my eyos, and all to to no giod
result. Finally the disease principally settled
iu my bady, limbs and feet, and at times in an
aggravated way.
Last'summer I was, from some cause, weak in
uiy spine aud kidneys, and it^ras at times very
hard to retain the urine. Seeing your advertise
ment in thi Commercial, 1 bought a bottle of
VEGETINE, and commenced using according to •
directions la two or three, days I obtained
great relief. After using four or five bottles I
noticed it had a wonderful effect on the rough,
scaly blotches on my body and legs. I still
u$od VEGETINE, and the humorous sores one
after another disappeared until they were all
gt»no, and I attribute the cure of tho two dhsoa&e9
to VEGETINE, and nothing else.
II I am over affected with anything ol the kind
again, I shall try VEGETINE as the only
reliable remedy. Once more accept my thanks,
and believe me to.be, Very respectfully,
