POLITICAL.
As time passes many questions
tl.af were among the unsettled
gradually assume a definite solution.
The great struggle on the part of
the liepublicans is lor a continual
tion ol opportunities for plunder,
and the permanent establishment of
their power. Against them are
the Democratic party and their in
dependent allies, contesting lor the
removal of all injurious influences
from the Administration of the
Government, and striving for the
acknowledgment of the right of the
people to choose, without hindrance
or restraint, the persons who shall
control the affairs of their country.
One of tho debatable questions
was the manner in which the cam
paign was to be conducted. We
all had our ideas upon the subject
but nothing certain was known.
Now, however, there is no doubt
about tho matter. It is to boa
contest between brains and the
ballot on the Democratic side, and
Money and Bullets on tho Repub
lican. The troops are already on
their way to tho South, and in tho
North the cry comes from Indiana,
l; the Bloody Shirt with money.”
The great, the brave, the polished
Kilpatrick lias “let the cat out of
the bag,” and we know with what
we have to contend. There can
be no doubt that Money and Bul
lets will demand some effort to beat
them, but there is as little doubt
that iu the end, Brains and tlie
Ballot will comeoff victorious.
Tho wejl timed and patriotic let
ters which our prominent men are
writing about the situation are Jdo
ing an immense amount of good.
Gen. McClellan, than whom no
man is more honored and respeo-*
ted by bis comrades, gives a clear
and manly description of the case
v/hich we have to decide, and many
will no doubt be influenced by his
words. George Ticknor Curtis
too, in dealing more particularly
with the ‘'Southern Questions” sets
at rest many misgivings on the
subject, and Manton Marble passes
the whole subject of coutest in
review in a masterly and convinc
ing way,
Tho Germans have resolved to
exercise their individual rights,
aud dcteruDue for themselves their
course of conduct. They are not
to be led by Carl Schurz into the
Republican meshes, but will do
their best to rescue their country
from the death-like embrace of
the authors of its woes. The men
of French descent and nationality
have too made manifest a determi
nation to support the army of de
liverance, and the Swiss, have tao
ken the opportunity of a national
eelcbiation, to enunciate tho views
which they hold of their duties to
their adopted country. At a meet
ing held here a day or two since,
tho political situation was reviewed
and stirring resolutions passed in
favor of Tilden and Hendricks.
The Republicans are utterly una
ble to defend the cause in which
they arc enlisted. Their principal
organ, the New York times, lias
not one word to say upon the sub.
ject, except to invent one scandal
after another about Tilden, and to
try to utterly befog the public as
to the true purposes for which the
Chandler and Kilpatrick party is
working, It is, indeed, pitable to
see a paper, which had succeeded in
obtaining a reputation for seme de
gree of truth and honesty, throw
ing away its good character to try
and perpetuate the rascality by
which the country has been so
nearly ruined. The Times, by its
late methods, has destroyed all the
influence that it once possessed.
People now, even and the Repub
licans themselves, pay no attention
to any of its political statements.
They know that it has put truth
upon the shelf, and cannot place re
liance upon anything that appears
in its columns,
Every effort is made convince
us that the period of Grant’s power
will end in March next. Never
was there a more dastardly attempt
to deceive a nation into forging the
chains by which itself was to be
bound. Grants power will not end
in March, if Chandler and Kil
patrick gain the election in Novems
ber.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
A walk in Central Park on Sun
day is always instructive, but nev
er more so than at the present time.
One used to see what are ordinari
ly called our working- classes, out
in great numbers, always clean,
their children well dressed, and all
in high spirits and good humor.
Now, however, much of this is
changed. Comparatively, the num
bers are few, and among those who
still try occasionly to get the bene
fit of its air and the exercise, there
are very evident traces ot the hard
ness ot the times. The smile on
the father’s face has given way to a
settled melancholy; the cheerful
response of the mother is settling
down to a sullen wonosylable.
THOM ASTON, GA.. SATURDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER TO, 1876
The clean white frocks and bril
liant coloied sashes of the children
are replaced by others not indica
tive of cleanliness or gaiety. The
little things themselves are evident
ly greatly influenced by the differ*
ence in their dress* Their little
hearty laugh does not sound as it
did, and their tiny limbs have lost
much of their activity.
Speaking to some of the men,
on my last visit, I found them al
most in a state of despondency.
es, said one, “this is what we
come to, all through a lot of lying,
thieving fellows, who have got con
trol of the Government, and are
now rolling in wealth, that ought
rightfully to be distributed among
us. I bey steal the money, and
then there is none left to pay for
work, and therefore the work is left
undone, and we, who are waiting
to do it, have to starve. We must
have a change, for if those fellows
have things in their own hands
much longer, we shall be all ruin
ed.” And so it is, the Republican
Administration is responsible for
all the distress that exists, and on
ly by its removal can a change be
efteoted.
AtltlrcM* to tlie l>cmocni*ie F.\-
eoutivc Committee.
Office Democratic Ex. Coal,
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1. ’76
To the Democratic Party oj Georjici:
Fellow Citizens —The Demo
cratic Executive Committee of this
State, at its meeting on tho 25th
ultimo, made it my duty as chair*
man to issue an address to you, em
bodying the views of this commit
tee on the subject of party organi
zation, unity and activity, express*
ed in the following resolutions
adopted by them ;
Resolved, That recognizing the
necessity of organization as an im
portant condition of large success,
we exhort the Democracy of each
county in the State to look care
fully and promptly to thorough oi"-
ganization, establishing a system
where it may be wanting, and per*
fecting it where it now exists, and
that the chairman or secretary of
such organization be requested to
make report to the the secretary of
this committee,, without unnecessa
ry delay.
Resolved, That wo consider par*
ty unity to be of prime importance,
and we do earnestly deprecate all
independent candidacy.
Resolved, That we do bespeak
that activity of the party which the
political issues justify and demand,
confidently recommending in con*
negtion therewith the continuance
of a just and honorable conduct to*
ward our political opponents.
The propriety and wisdom of
these resolutions will be read
ily comprehended by every
right thinking mind, and commend
them to approval ot every true
Demoorat iu the State. The im
portance of the polititical issues
which arc involved in the campaign
upon which we have entered, can
not be over estimated. No friend
of good government can view with
unconcern, the total disregard of
the constitution which lias character
ized the administration of the Re
publican party for the last eleven
years. No lover of his country
can indulge supiueness or indiffer
ence, whilst the Radical party
with a step as steady as time, is un>
demining the foundations upon
whioh our political system was
built, destroying every right that
belongs to the States, and driving
the country, headlong into a cor
rupt consolidation, and a ccutralized
despotism. No man who loves
virtue, or honesty, or truth, can
fail to experience a just moral in
dignation at the abuses, frauds,
wrongs and crimes, that have been
heaped upon the people of the Uni
ted States by Republican office
holders, of every class, and in ev
ery department of the Government.
I speak to you, my fellow*citi>
zeus, in all frankness when I de
clare that if the Republican party
shall continue to control and ad
minister the Government under
which we live, in ray judgemant,
constitutional liberty is at an end,
and the glorv ot our country’s ex
cellency will be lost in the night of
usurpation, tyranny and de*pot*
ism.
Such are the views and senti*
ments of the best patriots and wis
est statesmen of the present day,
and such were the views and senti
ments that prompted our Demo
cratic brethren who assembled at
St. Louis, Missouri, to promulgate
a platform that begins, continues
and ends with a patriotic demand
for purification and reform in ev
ery place connected with the gov
ernment and its administration.—
Appreciating the stern and abso
lute necessities of the times, these
heroic Democrats placed upon that
platform a candidate for President
whose entire public history has
been a gallant and successful strug
gle against official corruption and
fraud, and in favor of reform and
honesty in the government of the
State whose political and financial
affairs we confided to his manage*
ment Samuel J. Tilden, of New
\ ork, is political reform and offi
cial honesty “manifest in the flesh.”
Ihe principle of purity in office
holders and honesty in the admin
istration of government finds in
him a living and powerful incarna
tion. lie is a standard bearer
whose leadership inspires hope,and
whose election will save the coun
try from ruin and perpetuate the
liberties of the people. With Til
den at its, head, the triumph of the
Democratic party in November
next will mean, the constitution
preserved ; the Government res
cued from centralism ; sectional
bate obliterated ; peace re-establish
ed between the North and South ■,
equal and exact justice meted out
to all men, of all classes ; church
and state totally seperated; popular
education freed from all preference
for sects, classes, or creeds ; the su
premacy of the civil over military
power maintained; the substitu*
tion of honesty for dishonesty in
office-holders; the abolition of ev
ery useless office ; a sounder and
better currency provided for tho
people; ajusterand wiser tariff
than we now have ; Governmental
expenditures diminished and pub
lic economy enforced ; capital freed
from distrust and labor disburden
ed and employed; the public credit
restored and national honor rebur
nished and maintained; commerce
revived and made profitable;
industry and manufactures reener
gized, and the entire land bright
ened with peace and prosperity
again.
AU these political and social
blessings arc in store for the peo
ple of these United States, if in
this momentous crisis they shall
prove true to themselves and true
to the obligations of au enlightened
patriotism. In a time like this, let
no Democrat hesitate or waver
the discharge of his duty. Let
neither personal interests nor sel
fish ambition produce confusion in
in our camp or cause disorder iu
our lines. Let the party be well
organized in every county in the
State, and let every Democrat
stand by the organization and its
candidates through woe as well as
weal* Being brethren in common
political faith, let us not antago
nize or make war on oaoh other,
but let us contend with man-*
ly earnestness for our principles,
and strive only against our enemies.
True to her sublime faith, and
faithful to her high [mission, let
the Democratic party move grand
ly up to the contest with an unbro
ken line, presenting to her enemies
and to the world the invin
cible buckler of a compact
and thorough organization.
Let us labor with sleepless dili
gence and tireless industry to bring
every Democratic voter to the polls
and by every means consistent
with a just and honorable conduct
toward our political enemies, let us
induce, if possible, every lover of
constitutional liberty and good gov
ernment to unite with us in giving
to our candidates for Governor,
Legislators, Congressmen, Presi
dent and VicevPresident, such a
unanimous and overwhelming vote
as that the very name of Radi
calism will be lost, and the place
that knows it will know it no more
forever.
With high respect, I am your
fellow citizen,
George N. Lester.

Homely Maxims for Hard
Times
Take care of the penics.
Look well to your spending.
No matter what comes if more
goes out you will always be poor.
The art is not in making money,
but in keeping it.
Little expenses, like mice in a
barn, when they are many make a
great waste.
Hair by hair the head gets bald, /
straw by straw the thatch goes off
the cottage, and drop by drop the
rain comes into the chamber.
A barrel is soon empty if the
tap leaks but a drop a minute.
When you mean to save begin
witli your mouth ; many thieves
pass down the red lane.
The ale jug is a great waste. *
In all other things keep within
compass.
Never stretch your legs further
than your blanket will reach, or
you will soon be cold.
In clothes choose suitable lasting
stuff, not tawdry fineries. To be
warm is the main thing never mind
the looks.
A fool makes money, but it needs
a wise mau to spend it.
Remember it is easier to build
two chimneys than to keep one go
ing.
If you give all to back and
board there is nothing left for the
savings bank.
Fare hard and work hard when
you are young and you will have a
chauce to rest when you are old.
Southern Outrages.
From The World.
New Orleanes, August 26.
I hardly think that sufficient prom
inence is given by the Democratic
press to the fact tbafduring politi
cal campaigns in the South emmis
saries are sent out among [the ne
groes from the centres of Radical
ism to instigate them to all sorts of
violence, with the hope that the
whites may become exasperated
and kill a few of them. In the pa
rish of West Feliciana, where the
negroes art Hocking to the Demo
cratic standard, Packard’s agents
are busily engaged in endeavors to
stir up a bloody strife between tbc
races. In this parish, not many
days ago, a plot to murder Col. Rob.
ert 11. Barrow and his family was
discovered by the timely confession
of a black who had been approach <
ed to join it. The ring leaders
were arrested, confessed their guilt,
and offered, as a palliation of their
offence, tho fact that they had been
instigated to the deed by the white
Radicals of the parish.
What arc tho white people t do
in an instance of this kind ? In
the parish in question there are
2,000 colored registered voters and
200 white registered. The mi
nority are completely at the mercy
of the majority. The courts are in
the hands of ignorant colored men
and the law officials are those who
are instigating the crimes. It was
in this parish that young Hale was
dragged from his mother’s room
and shot down by a mob of infuri
ated blacks so close to that mother
that his brains and blood bespat
tered her clothes. W. D. Winter,
who had a big brain and a warm
heart, was called to the window of
his study, wherein he sat teaching j
his little boy, and brutally shot !
down in the presence of his house
hold. These facts should go tor
something. If they are good for
nothing else, they should be sufii-;
cient to show the condition which ;
Radical rule has fostered. In this i
parish, where I have stated there !
are 2,000 colored registered and '
200 whites, there is a company of j
soldiers stationed for the avowed
purpose of protecting the majority
from the minority. Yet for one j
negro killed in that parish there j
have been five white men brutally
murdered. What is the material!
condition of the parish ? The i
whites are impoverished, the blacks l
are working on half wages, while a j
few Radical officeholders are living i
in luxury and fast u buying up the !
best property to bo had in ths j
county.
The gradual impoverishment of!
the voters of both races and the
rapid enrichment of the office hol
ders have at last appealed to the :
slow minds of the blacks, and a
complete revolution has taken place !
in their political sentiments. As i
in this parish, so in many others.
The logic of bread and butter has
carried conviction to minds unim
pressiblc to the eloquence of man.
The necessary reduction of wages
throughout the State and the great
scarcity of steady employment
have won many voters to the Dem
ocratic party, through whose rc
form they hope to see better times
come again. Kellogg and Packard
have undoubtedly informed Fresh
dent Grant of this condition of af
fairs, and impressed upon him the
fact that unless he interferes very
decidedly and energetically the
State must go for the Democrats
by a majority of 20,000. To pre
vent this (to them) disastrous revos
lution, the troops have been placed
virtually under the command of
Packard, who represents a political
trinity as President of the State
Central Committee, as nominee for
Governor, and as United States
Marshall.
What lie will do with these
troops tho testimony given before
the Congressional Committee ap
pointed to investigate affairs in
Louisiana clearly shows. The
northern parishes will bo overrun
by negro cavalry, and those who
are most prominent in their oppo
sition to Republicanism will be
dragged from their homes on base-*-
less charges and held as culprits in
New Orleanes until after the elee
tion. This is only part of Pack
ard,s plan for carrying the State.
Behind this contemplated violence
stands a fraudulent system of regis
tration, and looming up from be
hind: this, standing out in bold
lief, culminating in an apex of
fraud, stands the Returning Board,
surrounded and protected by
the soldiers of our common
try. [
“While the question of pension
ing Graut is on the tapis,” asks the
Milwaukee News, “can’t something
of that kind be done for Belknap
.ind Babcock?” They have every
bit as much right to a pension as
GenT Grant, but if tho govern
ment is to pension every thief in
the Radical party it will scon be
hopelessly bankrupt.

“Old JlnldK."
Some of the best, purest and tru
cst women living are old maids.
They are, generally speaking, girls
who in their youth were belles and
j beauties, and who set a high value
lon themselves—too high to accept
the proposals of common men, and
! *o they have, to use an old expres
sion, ‘gone through the woods
without picking up a stick,’ for the
sole reason that they were afraid of
picking up a crooked one. A girl
who holds herself too high to stoop
to wed where she can neither love
nor respoct, is veryjlikelv to be an
old maid. Age does not make her
any the less particular, and as she
goes along her life’s journey she
sees, perhaps, those who were girls
with her unhappily wedded to hus
bands who arc unkind, or dissipa
ted, or careless, or unfaithful, and
she is strengthened to go on her
way alone. Girls are frequently
prevented from marrying by cir
cumstances they cannot escape.
Aged relatives, whose waning and
broken lives need the fostering and
gentle care of a daughter, may
stand between her and marriage:
and with a commendable self sacra
ficc she yields up her love on the
altar of filial duty, and stamps her
self with the appellation ‘old maid.’
Again, deatii may have taken from
her the chosen of her heart, and ,
her nature may ba too loyal and
true to admit of her enshrining
another in the place of her first
love. She is not an old maid be
cause she could not find lovers,
Indeed, there arc but few females
living who have attained the age
of thirty that have not had several
offers of marriage. She is an old
maid because she respected herself
too highly to choose a husband
from the ranks of indiscriminate
suitors. She had in her youth her
own ideal of the true, the pure and
the good, finding none to comfort
with it, she sensibly concluded to
remain ‘an old maid.’
Pennyroyal anl Potasli.
'flio Scientific American says ;
that if mosquitoes or other blood
suckers, infest our sleeping rooms
at night, we uncork a bottle of the
oil ot pennyroyal, and these ani
mals leave in great haste, nor will
they return so long as the air of
the room is loaded with the fumes
of that aromatic herb. If rats en
ter the cellar, a little powdered
potash, thrown in their holes or
mixed with meal and scattered in
their runways, never fails to drive
them away. Cayenne pepper will
keep the buttery and storeroom free
from ants and roaches. If a mouse
makes an entrance into any part of
your dwellings, saturate a rag with
cayenne, in solution, and stuff itin
to the hole, which can Fhen be pair
el with cither wood or mortar.
No rat or mouse will cat that rag
for the purpose of opening com
munication with a depot of sup
plies.
Alarmed at the disaffection of
some of the Southern blacks, the
great moral party is taking meas
ures to whip them into the traces.
Signs of anew secret organization
known as “The Grand Army of
Republicans,’ (a very colored sound
that), have appeared in North Car
olina, and it seems likely to be ver
y effective in keeping the more in*
telligent colored voters within the
herd. In every ward or township
a small company of blacks is orga
nized and a captain placed over it.
The “captain’s” duty is to see that
his men register themselves and
vote the Republican ticket. They
are provided with metal badges to
give them a sense of their impor
tance, and are expected to make
themselves useful in all that per
tains in polling a large Republican
vote. The “Grand Army” is divi
ded into companies, regiments,
brigades and divisions, all officered
and it seems to have been formed
with the special view of deluding
the negroes with the empty show
of which they are so fond, and of
intimidating those ot them who
have sufficient discernment to see
the folly of allowing themselves to
be led by unprincipled persons
whose only object is to get their
votes as cheaply as possible.
A good soil rarely fails, even in
a poor season of returning a paying
income for the labor expended up
on it in the cultivation of any crop
adapted to it.
The idea that the number of
acres in crops indicates the farmer’s
income must be abandoned, and the
number of bushels per acre must
be looked for instead. There
is certainly less profit in plowing
fifty acres, to raise one thousand
bushels of than in plowing
but twenty-five to grow the same
amount, and trusting to good sea
' sons for fair crops will not be
thought of’by the improved farmer,
j A rich and well cultivated soil will
usually make fair returns in what
i we call bad or unfavorable seasons.
; What the farmer on a poor soil
i would call a good season seldom
i comes.

EXCITEMENT RENEWED BY RE
PORTS THAT THE NEGROES WERE
ARMING AND COMING TO BIRN
THE TOWN.
Monroe, September I.—Fresh
excitement sprung up last night in
I consequence of reports that the no
j greet! were arming and coming to
| burn the town. About 75 negroes*
| mounted and on foot, were found
at Captain Ililop’s place. A par
ley ensued. The negroes refused
to disarm, and said they would
come back with live hundred more.
Captain Theobald,with fifteen men,
i blockaded the road with rails. The
news spread rapidly, and the
whites armed from this (Ouachita)
and Morehouse parishes, and went
to the scone. The excitement was
intense, but nothing occurred, and
not a gun was fired. The whites,
including the best men of the
country, acted with the greatest
forbearance.
One freedom of the armed ne
groes said they were told to arm bv
the sheritl ot the parish, who is col
ored, and come to Monroe and burn
the town.
TIIE SOUTHERN PART OF TIIE PA
RISH.
In the southern portion of the
parish, where houses were forced in
to and the trouble began, the lead
ing citizens report all quiet. Some
scattering demonstrations, they sav,
were made last night, but nothing
serious. The situation is decidedly
anxious, but the leading eitizenena
are proceeding with prudence and
moderation. Not a loud word has
been heard in town.
Never attempt to do anything
that is not right, just so sure as
you do you will get into trouble.
If you suspect anything is wicked,
do it not, until you are sure that
your suspicions are utterly ground
less.

our aged fathers and mothers, for it gives them
Nature's sweet sleep,—as has been proved by many
a person. It is the great Blood Purifier. It is a
soothing remedy for onr children ; it has relieved
and cured thousands. It is very pleasant to take*
every child likes it. It relieves and cures all disea
ses originating from impure blood. Try the VEM
ETINE. Give it a fair trial for your comulainis •
then you will say to your friend, neighbor and ac
quaintance, “Try it ; it has cured me.”
I%eLij\bLe Evidence.
The following unsolicited testimonial from Rot.
O. T. Walker, formerly pastor of Bovvdoin Equate
Church. Boston, and at prescut settled in Provi
dence, 11. 1., must be deemed as reliable evidence.
No one should fail to observe that this testimonial
is the result of two years’ experience with the use of
VEGETINE in the llov. Mr. Walker’s family, who
now pronounce it invaluable.
Providence, It. 1., 164 Transit t treot,
H.R. STEPHENS, Esq.:
I feel bound to .express with my signature the
high value I place upon your VEGETINE. My
family have used it lor the hist two years. In ner
vous debility it is invaluable, and I recommend it
to all who may need an invigorating, renovating
tonic. O. T. WALKER,
Formerly Pastor Bowdoin Square Church, Boston.
TifE Besj Evidence.
The following letter from Rev. E. S. Best, Pastor
of the M. E. Church, Natick, Mass., will be read
with interest by many physicians; also those suffer
ing lroni the same disease as afflicted the son of the
Rev. E. 8. Best. No person can doubt this testimo
ny, as there is no doubt about the curative i>owcr
of VEGETINE.
Natick, Mass., Jan. Ist, 1873.
MU. 11. R. STEPHENS :
Dear Sir—We have good reasons for regarding
your VEGETINE a medicine of the greatest value.
\Ve feel assured that it has been the means of sav
ing our son’s life. He is now seventeen years ot age;
lor the last two years he lias suffered from necrosis
of his leg, caused by scrofulous affection, and was
so far reduced that nearly all who saw him thought
his recovery impossible. A council of able physi
cians could give us but faint hopes of his ever ral
lying, two of the number declaring that he was be
yond the reach of human remedies, that even am
putation could not save him, as he had not vigor
enough to endure the operation. Just then we
ccommenced giving him VEGETINE, and from
that time to the present he has been continuously
improving. He has lately resumed studies, thrown
away his cruthes and cane, and walks about cheer
fully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where his limb was lanced, we have the ful
lest confidence that in a little time he will be ix.r
fectly cured.
j He has taken about three dozen bottles of YEGE
TINE, but lately uses but little, as lie declares he is
i too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
E. S. REST,
Mns. L. C. F. BEST.
