Saturday Morning,---December 5,1874
Till! (iREGLBY FIASCO*
As a rule, we arc for letting past er
rors sink into oblivion and to forgetful
ness; but when they are referred tons
virtues or precedents to control the future,
it is right that they should be held up as
warnings to the people. Upon this subject,
the Macon Star makes the following
pointed aud truthful remarks : •
“Some of the few would-be groat states
men and journalists are much exercised
at present in explaining the ‘philosophy’
of the Greeley movement in 1872. If
the ‘philosophy’ was then sound, why
should It not be equally sound in 1874 ?
Grant aud Greeley were both Republi
cans, and would it not now, according to
their reasoning, be a master stroke of
policy to shake hands with Grant ‘across
the bloody chasm,’ as lie is more disposed
to quit his-party now than was Greeley
in 1872? Such ‘philosophy’ is equal to
the morals of a man who would shake
hands with a denounced robber and take
him to his bosom and that of his family.
Grent philosophers and statesmen ! 1”
We know it is quite natural that those
Democrats who wero most prominent in
foisting Greeley upon the Democratic
party two years ago, to make all man-
nerof excuses and apologies for that blun
der, aud to make it account for our pres
ent victories. We regard these odorts to
Mill bolster up the Greeley fiasco as dan
gerous to the Democratic party, and as a
prelude to another “ new 'departure”
which so demoralized and nearly ruined
the party in 1872.
The endorsement of Greeley at Balti
more was not an action of principle, but
of timc ricrying expediency and a stulti
fication of the Democratic party. In so
■doing, the Democracy of the country
were made to endorse unmitigated false
hoods in that that the Cincinnati plat
form of the so-called Liberal Republicans,
endorsed by the Baltimore Democratic
Convention, pledged the party “to oppose
any re-opening the questions settled by
the XIII, XIV nnd XV amendments
of the Constitution,” and that, “wo re-
member with gratitude the heroism and
sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors
of the republic” for whipping wo South
ern people into submission to Federal
arms and subjugation.
Upon that platform the Democratic
party was most disgracefully defeated ;
and it ought to have been defeated when
it stultified its record and took up the
most powerful, uncompromising Radical
politician in the country as its Presiden
tial candidate. Xo wonder that thous
ands of true Democrats turned with dis
gust from such a platform an 1 ticket nnd
refused to vote !
And yet the advocates of the Greeley
movoiuent.arc coming to the front and
giving our stultification in 1372 nnd sup
port of a Radical for President ns the
causes of the lute glorious Democratic
victories! We would ask these “would
be great statesmen and journalists” if one
of the recent victories was won on the
Ciucinnati-Baltimore platform? Were
the principles enunciated by that plat
form once referred to in any of the Stale
campaigns which won Democratic victor
ies ? No, gentlemen, the Cincinuati-Bal
timore platform has been completely ig
nored by tho Democratic party since
1872.
And still the advocates of that mon
strous policy hold up their hands in holy*
horror whenever Grant is referred to with
any degree of fair consideration. Grant
is to-day a better Democrat than Greeley
ever was, or could be—for did he not say,
after receiving Democratic endorsement,
that “ he was no less a Republican than
lie ever was”? And docs not his record
show him to have been a most malignant
Republican in all measures affecting the
Southern people before and since the war?
We are just as willing to-day to
“shake hands over the bloody chasm”
with Grant as we were to do so with
Greeley. While we say this, we did not
want Greeley for our candidate in 1S72,
nor do we desire Grant in 1870. Do the
“few would-be great statesmen and jour
nalists,” who are so industriously ex
plaining the recent Democratic victories
upon the “philosophy” of the Greeley
movement, in 1872, intend to carry out
the same “philosophy” in 1870 by taking
up Grant, who is said to be a candidate
for a third term ? If they do, wo tell
them now that their “philosophy” will
prove as disastrous to the Democratic
party in 1870 as it did in 1872.
Since the Democratic party was de
feated on the Greeley “philosophy” and
have ignored it entirely, we have been
rapidly growing in strength and winning
victories until our triumph shall bo com
plete in 1870 if we hut remain true to
Democratic principles aud the old land
marks of tho party. We hopo these
“would-be grent statesmen and journal
ists,” aud small politicians, who umler-

of what is really transpiring through

daily a fair refl -x of State news and

says the editor, “and we therefore for
bear saying anything more than to
make tho above statement in justice to
a most estimable lady.”
Tho colored convention nt Atlanta
was a complete failure so far as results
are concerned. Nothing was done to
accomplish their scheme of immigra
tion. Innumerable and foolish resolu
tions were introduced and passed tc
committees who never made any report.
The proceedings indicate that the con
vention did not know what they really
desired. Wo suspect tho whole thing
was gotten up by a trick of speculators
who rcceivo stipulated sums for every
negro they can induce to “ go West.”

Registration of Voters.
The Rome Couier advocates the en
actment of a law by the General Assem
bly requiring every voter to register in
tiaown precinct, such registration to
be allowed only upon presentation of
tho Collector's receipt for payment of
tixes; and requiring voters to vote in
the precinct in which they reside and in
which they are registered. We agree
with The Courier as to the necessity
for such a law, and hopo that the Gen
eral Assembly will consider,the matter
favorably. There are two good reasons
for its enactment.
1. We believe such a law will in a
great measure put a stop to fraudulent
voting at elections, of which there has
been too much in this State since the
reconstruction acts went into operation.
If every voter was required to register
in the precinct of hjs residence at least
sixty or ninety days before the election;
if the registration lists were published,
so that they could bo easily examined
by every citizen; and if only those per
sons were allowed to vote whose names
were upon the lists, fraud would be
rendered almost impossible, save by
the connivance of all tho mangers, and

The Savannah News is informed that
a bill will be introduced in the next
General Assembly of the State of Geor

The News says: But at the same

comparison of the tally-sheets with the
registry lists. If any person should
register who is not entitled to that priv
ilege the publication of the lists would
at once exposo the fraud. Tho adop
tion of this system, together with the
requirement that no citizen should vote
out of his precinct, would effectually
prevent anything like refloating or col
onization.
2. The passage of such a law would
greatly increase the revenues of the
State and facilitate the collection of a
tax now difficut to collect—tho tax
upon polls. Every man who offered
to register would have to exhibit the
Collector's receipt lor hits taxes. There
would be no delay or trouble on the
day of election. Every man on the
list would be a duly qualified voter,
and no man not on it would bo allowed
to exercise tho elective franchise. Po
litical corruption has greatly increased
in tho South since tho war and tho ex
torsion of the franchise,. and while
Georgia may have suffered less than
any other State, she lias suffered fully
enough to make prevention desirable
and necessary. It is of the utmost im
portance that so long as we have uni
versal suffrage there should be every
precaution taken against frauds upon
the ballot-box. Wo do not believe that
any system would give absolute secur
ity und.perfect protection, for no law
was ever yet framed which tho ingenu
ity of rascals could hot evade or cir

guard like the one proposed would only
fail when assailed by an adroitness

tion of tho vital statistics of Georgia,
for instance, could fail to astonish a

the Southern peoplo—tho people of

a malarial character, and it is a well e

others that can bo named.
At tho North, they have typhoid
lever in its most malignant forms—
diptheria taking the shape of an epi
demic—and pulmonary diseases annual
ly carry off a startling number of un
fortunates. It is almost certain that if
the vital statistics of Georgia in an
authentic shape could he circulated at
the North, a very large class of tho pop
ulation of that section would drift in
tho direction of our pine regions, while
the comparative exemption of the peo
ple from those diseases which tiro most
fatal, would not be likely to remain un
