Sandersville, Ga., Sept. 14,1870.
Letter of the Hon Linton Stephens
We give to our readers today the
letter of this gentleman who is chair
man of the Democratic Executive Com
roittee of Georgia.
Differing with this gentleman in
some of the yiews presented in his Itt
ter, we are in favour of State Represen
tation in the next Cpngress, and to thi.f
end in fayour of ejecting rpen who
can take pVipir seats. If we cannot
send our best and greatest men, there
are lesser lights equally honest, and
equally capable by their votes of sus
taining Democratic measure?.
We wish to see men elected to Con
gress, who can take their seats, and
who when seated will represent the
principles an,d interests gf the people
who send them tber,e. Th.e election of
a man who cannot take the test oath,
if he has a majority of ten to one, is
sure to result in placing his Radical op
ponent in his seat. This we know.
What folly then to nominate and elect
men, when by so doing we increase the
Radical majority against us?
fourt in Louisville.---Trial of the
Rioters.
September 7th.—The morning of
the forenoon was consumed in empan-
neling and swearing the different
Juries. The Grand Jury brought in
bills against Cudgo fye and Richard
Roberson for insurrection and aiding
in the escape of a prisoner, and against
several others for riot.
Afternoon, 2 P. M. Court has reas
sembled, Prisoners, Fye and Rober-
ron werejbrought in, and"c.qunsel pro
ceeded to strike the Jury. Fye is a
short thick set muscular fpllow, weigh
ing about lfjO pound?, black, lace
African, head remarkable for its sensu
ous developements,back of the head re
markably brotgl. His whole appear
ance indicating a keen, sbreyvd fearless
unprincipled fellow. Roberson is a
tall rawboDeid rpan at least 6 feet 3 in
ches high, he is black, ought from his
appearance to have more mind and a
better moral cb^racterSthan the other
After some time consumed in strik
ing the Jury it was at length
chosen. In the prosecution’ithe' State
vras represented by Attorney General
Prescott andjWm. Wilkins, Esq. Pris
oner’s counsel Winder Johnson, Alex
ander & Pollhill, Esqrg.
Thp States counsel read the indict
ment fp the jury an.d fh.en q,nnotjncpd,
That it had been agreed by counsel
that if the Jury would reconpnend to
piercy, the prisoners would plead guilty
This recommendation of the Jury would
authorize a commutatipn of fft£ penalty
The Jury hesitated for some time. Fye
deserved hanging, he had excited an
armed insurrection against the author
ities cf the State. He was the leader,
the head centre of the rebellion. He
had told the negroes who aided him
that he had authority from Gov. Bul
lock and Gen. Grant to release the pris
oners and read to them out of a book
what he told thein were the 14th, 15th
and 16th laws of which the white peo.
pie in Jefferson were ignprant.”
The Jpry*yepommended them to the
mercy of the Court. Fye was called
up. “He did not implicate any one,
said no white ?nan had advised him.
Endeavored to lie out of the sprape and
lay the blame on Robertson. The silly
negroes might have'.known that he had
received no orders from Atlanta, for the
man confined whom they wished to lib
erate was only imprisoned on Friday
and they met on? Saturday to deliver
hip?. After closely questioning him as
to yho pdvised him to the course pur
sued, the Judge proceeded to state to
him and to the fVeedmen in Court that
the law of the land was the only pro
tection that they had, the only protec
tion of the yreak against the strong, and
while he ha,d no prejudice against their
people, and paid, a touching tribute to
their fidelity to tbo whites during our
late terrible struggle. He informed
them that the layvs of the State should
he enforced agaipst all offenders. He
sentenced fye tp 20 years imprison
ment in the Penitentiary, but encour
aged him to hppe that by good beha
viour,. during his pppfinement he might
possbly shorten .jij? term of imprison
ment. - - ~
Richard Roberson ’ when asked what
he had to say, laid the whole blame up
on Fye, he only acted under orders;
Fye had sent for him and the-{gen be
longing to his Society, had told them
he had authority from the Governor,
#c., &c. The Court sentenced him to
5 years in the Penitentiary. In sen
tencing these two men, the Coiirt paid
a well deserved compliment to the peo
ple of Louisville and Jefferson county,
for their prudence and forbearance, du
ring the exciting scenesTKey had pass
ed. He told them that he did not be
lieve there was another community in
Georgia that would have acted as they
did- That thejy deserved the tfiSnlrsoF
the Whole State. We think the compli
ment of the Court well deserved, for
when we consider that these people were
insulted by an armed crowd on Satur
day and Sunday, assembled, organised,
offiepred—who paraded the town whoo
ping, cursing, and-threatening fire and
sword to any who should oppose them.
That after having broken the jail and
liberated the-prisoners they still contin
ued to threaten the town with distruc-
tion if their leaders were molested.
When on Monday and Tuesday, a force
of several hundred armed white men
came to the rescue from Johnson, W ash-
ington and Glasscock. Blien the in
surrection was put dojyn and the leaders
arrested. It required nerye and prin
ciple on the part fif the people of Jef
ferson to seepre flip leaders from sum
mary punishajent, at the hands of arnjed
men, ready #,nd willing tp take the javr
ipto their own hands.
On the 8th, 7 were arraigned and
plead guilty to the charge of riot and
aiding an escape- They were all young
men, some mere youths.
Andrew Scott called up, raised in
Jefferspp, belonged to Col. Gamble, was
appointed Captain on Sunday by Fye,
had about 65 men, was told by Fye that
he had orders from Gov. Bullock to re
lease the prisoners, was told by Fye
that if he did not obey orders he would
have him shot. He was septenced to 2
years in the Penitentiary.
Eli Adams, 1years of age, sen
tenced to 1 year. Madison Walker was
drunk or he never would have been in
the scrape “will never get into another
while oak and ash grow,” sentenced to
to 1 year.
Britton Martin, a mere boy, acted
under duress, belonging tp no clpb, but
was told by Fye that if he did npt obey
orders he would be shot. Sentenced to
1 year.
Robt. Jones, is in his 21st year, was
ordered by the Captain and assisted in
breaking the door yith. a rail—sentpn
ced to 2 year?.

from Hon. Linton
phens.
Sparta, Ga., Sept. 6, 1870.
Col. R. A. Alston, Secretary of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of Georgia;
Dear Sip:—Your letter was duly-
received, informing me that I was
chosen Chairman of the Pemocratic
Executive Committee of this State, at
a meeting held at Atlanta oh the 1st
inst., iD pursuance of a eaffjfrom the
President of the Democratic Copyen r
lion, to assemble at the time and place
stated, pnd complete their organisation
by electing a Chairman outside of their
own number.
While sending to the committee
through you my acceptance of the po
sition assigned, and my sincere acknowl*
edgment qf the hqnor conferred, I take
this occasion tp express my own views
on a subject which the committee has
brought before the public, by taking
action on.it before their ^elected Chair
man had accepted his appointment, and
before, therefore, they had a complete
organization or even the number re-,
quired by the resolution of the Con
vention providing fpr the formation of
an Executive Committee,
The subject to which I allude is the
selection of candidates in the apprqaph-
jng election, with reference to-their
eligibility underjexisting so-called laws,
and the certainty of their being allow.*
ed to take their seats if elected. -The
recommendation which some members
of the Committee, in its unorganized
aod'incomplete state, have given-to the
pponle op this subject iis>- already re
ceiving different interpretations.dFor
my ovre 'part'd uni at a tbtaHoaafo’ rm<
a^ine how any man elected to Congrqps -stand
from this State could have any Certain- “ L: -
it will be promptly repudiated by
every trne Democrat in the United
States; and I will not do the members
of the Committee who put forth the
recommendation, the injustice to be
lieve for a single moment that they in
tended it to reach to this extent. Nor
cao I believe ( as some suppose, that
they intended to advise the people to
put up only such candidates as can
take the iron-clad or lest oath. The
diffieury of making a iccommendaiion
which should p eseut any unifom rule
applicable alike to elections for Con-
gres* and c’ccJor.s f-r the State Legis
lature wasjfn-e-een b_\*’he recent Demo
cratic Coiivonunr.an'd'mduced the busi
ness Committee • if that body and that
body itself, to ftrego 'he attempt. I
mugt also remark that ij;e gentlemen
who have pul forth the recommenda
tion in question, have Ipllpn into a mis
take as :<■ th ire b< .enii g any rec< mi ,eu
dation on this subject from the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of the Uni
ted States. On the contrary, the whole
subject of eligibility of candidate's as
affected by go-Gall.ed disabilities, has
been left by the National Democratic
organization and by the Democratic
State Convention, without any 'recom
mendation at all—leaving the members
of the party every where perfectly free
to shape their action aecordiug to their
own convictions of. principle and poli
cy in the different localities. But
since the subject has been brought be
fore the public in a quasi official form
by pi embers of the Committee with
which I am officially connected, I deem
it due to myself to make known my
owp distinct and strong conventions as
to the course required by sound policy
and sanctioned by sound principles.
As to members of the Legislature,
I think the.people should select only
those who are free from ad the so-call
ed disabilities; and this simply as a
matter of policy. The Legislature
will be subject to the manipulation of
the dominant party at Washington ;
and that party will certainly exclude
from it all persons who may be subject
to any of the disabilities vyhjph they
have prescribed for, and attempted to
fix upon, that class of officers. For
the Legislature we have abundant
sound material which is free from all
disabilities prescribed fpr that class;
and by electing a Legislature from tins
material, we shall either get a sound
administration of State affairs, or else
drive the enemies of constitutional lib
erty into the perpetration of some new
outrage, and thus pile up and aeceler
ate the retribution which awaits them
at the bauds of an indignant people.
It must be borne in mind that the iron
clad, or test oath, has not yet been re
quired for members oi the Legislature.
Members of Congress stand on a dif
ferent footing, and with regard to them
I believe a different policy is demand
ed. In their case the iron-clad or test
oath is required. Let not our people
persuade themselves that the pr,rty npvv
dominant in Congress will dispense
with that oath in individual cases or
bv general repeal, except for a consul
eration—a price paid, or to be paid.
That, price will be nothing less than
the acceptance of all their usurpations
as “fixed facts,” without even a pledge
against unlimited usurpation in the
future. I firmly believe it would “e
far better that our people should re
main forever unrepresented than that
they should be misrepresented by men
Who can either take that oath, or get a
dispensation from it. It is idle and
foolish to expect the Radical party, in
the present condition of affairs, to ad
mit into Congress any real represen
tatives of our people. They wifi ac
cept only those W-ho would destroy our
moral power by misrepresenting and
debasing us. Let us, therefore, dis
missal! idea of getting real represents
lives into Congress where there is a
Radical majority; and let us not for
get that a true Democratic Congress
will admit any members who may have
the qualifications required by the true
Constitution. Stripped of the destruc
tive usurpations which are attempted
to be foisted upon it by no higher au
thority than Congressional enactment
and Presidential proclamations, there
are and can be, no, disqualifications or
disabilities for members of Congress
but such as are prescribed by the Con
stitution itself, and by the Constitution
I mean that sacred instrument in its
puritv as contra distinguished form the
so-called 14th and 15th arpendmepts.
This doctriue was solemnly and repeat
edly adjudicated by Congress itself in
its better days.
It has never been violated but by
Radical revolutionary violence. Arid
never let it be forgotten that this vio
lation now perpetrated in the name,
and under color of. the 14th and 15th
Amendments, was equally perpetrated
by the same revolutionary party before
the passage of either one of those so-
called amendments. I remark just here
in passing that the. 13th Amendment
abolishing slavery stands upon an en
tirely different footing, and, in my
judgment, constitutes aval id-part of the
Constitution. This doctrioe 1 -“tbat the
only possible disqualifications or disa
bililies for members of Congress, are
those to be found in the Constitution
itself—always observed in the better
days of the government, atnff Violated
only by revolutionary Radicalism, will
certainly beVefipected and enforced "by
every true Democratic Congress in the
future.
I think, therefore, jliatJwe should
select members of Congress without
the slightest regard to so-called, disa
bilities, except tfiat we siyould not fail
to seud at least some one who are sub
ject to them, and who have qbility to’
show their, invalidity and enormity.
They must have a hearing on the ques-.
tion of their rights to seats, and that
question, well argued on the theatre of
Congress, would shake this country
from centre to circumference. Our
strength lies in .attafkq iu affackiug
the uanyqiauon and enormities pf ifie
party Virbo are seeking to oVertbrow
to wage an unremitting war on the field
of troth and reason; and we must
bring forward such issue3 as will re
veal the malignity of their Resigns and
the "enormity of their guilt. It is a
time when cowardice is full}' and weak
ness, and courage is Wisdom and
strength. We are invincible on the
issues if they arc right!)’ made; and let
us remember that nobody ever gained
a victory by running away from the
battle field.
These outline Ideas may be enlarged
if the committee shall hereafter sub
rnit an address to the people of Georgia.
Yours, very respectfully,
Lixton Stephens.
4 Startling Revelation.
Confession of a Murder Committed Fif
teen fears Arjp.
The Chicago Timps of a late date
says;
“On the morning of the 15th of
April, 1868, the body of Captain J.
Gallup was found beneath a railroad
culvert near Parkersburg, West Virgin
ia. To add to thp horribleness of the
djscpvery, for the captain was well and
favorably knpwp in the vicinity, the
bead had been severed from the main
trunk, and, when found, the glassy eye
and terror-stricken features filled with
dismay and horror the citizens who first
discovered the awful crime.
Captain Qalffip was an extensive
speculator in "the oil regions, and lmd
massed a considerable fortune.
“The discovery of the terrible crime
threw a feeling of gloom over the res
pectable portion of the community,
which would be hard to describe. The
most energetic measures were adopted
to discover, if possible, the perpetrators
of the awful deed. The finger of sus
picion pointed strongly toward a negro
named John Greek He had worked
for the captain, who one time scolded
Greel for some misdemeanor, which led
to a bitter expression of threatened re
venge on the part of the servant toward
his employer. Greel, it was well known,
was also aware that Gallup, when re
turning from Parkersburg, was in the
habit of having in his possession large
sums of money. Accordingly, a war
rant was issued for the arrest qf Greel,
and, after lying in jail four months, he
was tried on the charge of murder. For
want of evidence he was acquitted, and
the terrible affair was still a mystery.
“One week ago last Saturday eve
r.ing a negro applied at the Madison
street police station in this city for a
night’s lodging. The tremulous way
in which he made the request, the evi
dent fear that was upon him, and the
ill-at-ease manner of the applicant
aroused the suspicions of the station
keeper, who hastened to call his superi
or officer. Captain Miller hurried dowp
stairs and sharply questioned the dar
key, y,hp gqyc }iis naqie ag Joseph

asked tho captain
“ ‘Nuffin,’ he replied.
“ ‘Wern’t you sent to the penitentia
ry at Joliet not long ago ?’ was the cap
tain’s next inquiry.
“The negro replied in the negative ;
then, snddcidy bursting into tears, he
informed Captain Miller that he had a
terrible secret to reveal. He then, in
the presence of Sergeants Johnson and
Briscoe, and station-keeper Fitzgerald,
related the particulars of a murder of
which the above is but the substance.
Pointdcxter told them he had nothing
to do with the murder of Captain Gal
lup. The awful deed had been commit*
ted by the negro Greel ; he had only
assisted in carrying the body from
Claysville, where the terrible crime was
perpetrated, to the railroad culvert. At
first they laid the corpse on the track,
but a new idea entered Greeks head
They returned, took up the body, car
ried it beneath the culvort, and Greel
cut off the head of his victim.
“ ‘There, that will be better,’ said he,
<Wben they find him they will think he
has been run over by the cars, and that
the wheels cut off his head.’
“Before they left the murdered man,
Greel ransacked his pockets, taking
therefrom a fine gold watch and chain,
as well as a large sum of money. When,
after the murderer’s arrest, the trial
came on, he managed to communicate
with Pointdexter, and give him $500,
with instructions to leave the country.
Pointdexter did so, and moved with his
family to Kansas, where he remained
until about six months ago. Then lie
came to Chicago, and moved into a
house on State, near Twenty-second
street. On the night of his application
to the lodgings at the station house, he
had a quarrel with his wife. She drove
him from the house and he wandered
about the city for some time. Finally
he found himself in front of the police
station, and he determined to apply for
shelter. Then the terrors of conscience
attacked him, and he made a confession.
The secret had been a terrible one to
carry in his bosom, and he was glad to
be rid.of it. He only asked that they
would not take him back to Virginia, as
lie believed the people would-lynch him.
He is a good looking, intelligent negro,
and aged * about twenty-seven years.
He Wi|S locked up and" retained until
Captain Miller could communioate with’
the Parkersburg authorities. Yester
day, by permission of the police au
thorities, he wrote the" following letter,
which was sent to his wife :
“My Dear Josie : The detectives
ptart with me for .Virginia .to-night, snd
I will never see you again alive. Re
member that I love you dearly, I am
'innocetit of murdor. Good bye, and
may God bleSs you. Joe.”
“Wfien Captain Miller heard this
confession, he at once sat down and
wrote to the county clerk of Wood
coantyj West Virginia, giving him the
particulars as related above. That off
ficial transferred the letter toF-A.
’Hutchinson, the prosecuting attorney
sequences upon France for acts of tin
Empire.
