THK EXPOSITOR WAYNE9BOKO’, GKA-. BHK'X-j - SATURDAY. OCTOBER 20. 1872. FOlt I’RKsIDEXT, HORACE G REFLEY. OK N KVV YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, B. GRATZ By OWN, OH MISSOURI. FIRST DISTRICT —FOII COMIRKSS : MO ROAN RAWLS, OF RFKINOHAM COUNTY. COL. MORGAN RAWLS. Wo deeply regretted the incessant rain which prevented the assembling of the people of Burke to hear the nntici pated address of this sensible and patri otic gentleman, lie reached our town on Tuesday evening, and remained with us until Wednesday night But during the whole time the rain fell in torrents, and it was uluiOot impossible for persons residing in the country to get here. — Col. Rawls, however, met and con versed with most of our prominent citi zens, all of whom were favorably im pressed with his sound, clear, practical views upon all subjects discussed. In this connection, we desire to say that the popular idea of what consti tutes efficiency and usefulness in a Re presentative, is an erroneous one. It has long been supposed that none but orators should fill the public councils. There is a charm iu eloquonce which too often steals away our senses, blinds us to fallacies, and clothes crroi in the garb of truth. Gifted men, proud of those powers are ever apt to neglect the claims of industry, and defy the ne cessities of labor; and what cau not bo accomplished at the moment, is seldom accomplished at all. It is not what men say, so much as what they do, that benefits the human race. And especially is this true of public men. What the Southern people need aro men of judgment, tact, and working talent. Such an oue, in an eminent degree, is Col." Morgan Rawls. He has moreover, con siderable experience as a legislator; and will serve this district in the Federal Congress with industry, fidelity, aud, we believe, with marked success. We bad intended, while on this sub ject, to say something touching a line of policy which we think wisdom and soand sense suggest, but will reserve our remarks on that bead for another issue . - ■ m . OUR SUPERIOR COURT. The adjourned Terra of our Superior Court which was to have been held on the first Monday, in November, has been postponed, at the instance of a ma jority of the local bar, on account of the election, to be held on the second Mon day. Jurors, witnesses, and parties, will, therefore, regulate themselves accord ingly. W would remind our friends that now is the time to work. Every com mittee-man should do the work assigned to him. We can tell them that the Grant men are not eating idle bread, and unless a little more life is made mani fest in certain quarters the damaging effect will be known this fall without our telling of it. The right kind of documents should be put in the bands of every voter in the county, and news papers largely circulated among them. w ♦- What Siiould bk Done. —The Mil ledgeville Union Sf Recorder advances the following sentiments, which meet with our hearty approval: “It is well known by all who have examined the subject that our present State Consti tution, formed by carpet-baggers, Bcala wagsand negroes in 1868, is in many respects extremely defective. Many of its provisions are oppressive ; many things have beenomitted which the peo ple want. One of th first things done by the New Legislature should be the passage of an act calling a convention to amend the Constitution. In calling a convention the colored people should be guaranteed that their rights should not be’disturbed. If not prohibited by the Constitution, Clews & Co.,' with the assistance of the Atlanta King, will prevail upon some Legislature to pay their fraudulent bonds. There is a number of men lying around Atlanta who are always ready to sell their ser vices as lobby members to those who will pay them best. Of course the bond holders can always command their ser vices in manipulating the Legislature:” A VOICE FROM TATNALL’S TOMB. It. is startling sometimes to witness bow a generous and noble sentiment appealing to the heart of our common humanity goes echoing through .the world and comes back again, long after the lips that uttered and the brain which formed it have, been silenced and scaled in death. In his speech at the banquet given by him in New York the other night, the greatest living historian, Mr. Froud, who is now our visitor, commenced by quoting those memorable words from the lips of an honored and well b.cloved son of Georgia, who his own Govern ment denied nnyother right than a grave under his own ancestral oaks, because be stood steadfast to his own saying, that, “ lit.OOI) WAS THICKKR THAN WATER 1 and did his duty by bis own friends and kindred. It is one of those revenges which time brings about, that the words and the sentiment of this rebel should be deemed the most appropriate open ing to his eloquent address by this guest, of Now York, although ho did not mention tlie name of the man who ut tered them, nor know how fully his practice accorded with his- precept in later days. Visiting the grave of Tat naH the other day at Bonaventure where under the sombre and aged oaks, plant ed by bis ancestors, his mortal remains repose, and the long gray moss pendant from the trees, waves like a banner over the spot where that brave but tortured heart found rest at last,wo felt as though it was a spot where a gallant ship went down; after weathering storm and tempest destined to sink iu a calm at last. We did not dream his name and mem ory would be so soon and strangely brought forward again, and in the fes tivity given in the North, in boner of a stranger, wandering from the land whence his father came. When brighter and more propitious days come to our people, let us hope that there will rise, iu one of our pub lic squares, a monumental column to commemorate bis name and fame, de servedly dear to Georgia and the South —as well as to prove with us too that “blood is thicker than water.” as our hero said. Would that the North might learn that lesson too, and practice it.—Sa vannah Republican. The Law with Regard to Separate Tickets. Col. Thomas Hardeman, Chairman, of the Democratic State Executive Committee, sent the following dis patch yesterday to the Hon. H. W. Slocum, chairman of the Democratic Congrets-ional Committee at Washing ton : Macon, Oct. 18th, 1872. Hon. H. JV. Slocum, Washington City. Does the law of Gougress require sep arate ballot brxe3 for President and Congressman ? T. Harokman, Jr. Cli’u Ex. Com. To which the following answer was received. Washington, D. C., Oct. 18,1872. To T. Hardeman, Jr.: The law requires separate tickets, not separate ballot boxes. H. W. Slocum. This information is important, and we ask our Democratic exchanges to copy it. This law bad escaped our observation, and, we doubt not that of our eontempories generally. —Telegraph Sf Messenger. The Constitution says Col. Win. Dougher'y’s remains will be brought to Atlanta for burial. Of the circum stances connected with his illness that paper says: Col. Dougherty had been unwell for six or eight months past. Some months ago, after a sojourn in Atlanta, he re turned to his mountain home near Chat tanooga, but altos a brief stay return ed to Atlanta, spending there about a month at the house of Colonel Marcus Bell. About ten days ago, ho went North to obtain the best medical skill. He sank rapidly after reaching that section. 110 suffered from a diffi culty of breathing, connected with an affection of the lungs, together with some nervous diseases. He was 68 years of age. m m A Maryland man hnn'nA himself last week, and although it was clearly prov en ou the inquest that his mother-in law had taken up her abode in his house the coroner's jury was obtuse enough to render a verdict of unaccountable suicide. [From the Wmbington Patriot.) I and now g kohgi a. I The Imperial Plot for Her Crucifixion Again to Help Grant’s Election. The (50,000 Democratic majority ill Georgia is to be rccified against the Presidential election. Tt is quite al lowable, iu a Democratic city like j Philadelphia, to pile up a Radical ma jority of 20,000, by the instrumentality of hired “repeaters”, and “colonized negroes. But it is not permissible, iu a State that bus always been Democrat ic, as Georgia has, and that, in spite of bayonets and frauds, of Cajncroii’s “purchases” and Morton’s guile, and Bullock’s thieving combinations—in spite of Congressional endeavors and in separate reconstructions, has always given large Democratic majorities—it is not permissible for the people of Georgia, irrespective of color, to express their tremendous reprobation of carpet baggers at the polls, Georgia has never been forgivcu, has always been bated, has always been watched, because she gave a majority of 44,008 against Grant. This lias been Georgia’s un pardonable sin, and iu repeating it she hasbrought upon her bead the vengeance of the powers that launched the tliun derholt upon the Carolina*. Already the muttering® of the Im perial storm are beginning to be beard. Already the papers in the hire and in terest of the Administration teem with “garbled extracts,” the bilge water of imaginary correspodence, the thousand inventions of hungry Bohemians and lying office-seekers and office-holders, about “outrages” in Georgia. Already in every deputy marshal’s office in that State, ready-made testimony is being i gathered together, and patched, amend-! cd, trimmed, and pruned for the eagerly hungry Radical market of the North. Already, at every meeting of the “Loyal Leaguers” there, evidence of the ter rible Ku Klux is being manufactured, old scars on rogue negroes backs brush ed up into brightness, old crimes re vamped, old nightmares revived, and now soon wo shall hear from all the counties ot Georgia of how the Confed erate raiders have been riding by nig lit and bow they have been scourging, and shooting, and burning, and banishing in the most miscellaneous and wholesale fashion. Every little piddling riot and local disorder that has taken place in Georgia siuce the Confederacy laid down its arms will be recited over again until the horrified North, with unani mous appeal, constrains the President to do to Georgia what be did to South Carolina and North Carolina, in time to save the votes at the November elec tion. Akerman will summon his quon dam friend and fit associate, Colonel Wbiteley, “Chief Detective of the Government,” to hisaid, and conspiracies will burst forth miraculously, like cot ton from the pod. Political almauac tnakers will have no trouble now to caru prophetic laurals. All they will have to do will be to write down for the whole remaining month and the first week in November—“ Expect much Ku klux in Georgia about this time.” A writer in the “Agricultural Re port” for 1871 very truly says that if the planters of the cotton States divert “from the cultivation of cotton a force sufficient to produce half a million of bales of jute, that crop will be nearly a clear acquistion, and will save a large outlay for freight, bale cloth and com pression of cotton.” He further adds that its cultivation “will save several millions (of dollars) sent out of the cotton States every year to purchase gunny cloth,” and that “jute would supply the female labor of the South, which retires from the cotton field under the system of free labor.” The “hands” might be employed in picking it when driven from the field by inclement weather. The South c-ouid manufacture as well ns grow the article, and have it leave their hands only iu a manufactured state. The writer from whom we have before quoted, says that “the simple machin j cry used in Kentucky for spinning and weaving hemp might be applied to jute.” We hope to hear soon that porno of our large planters have taken steps to add the culture of jute to that of cotton, thereby subserving their own interests as well ns inaugurating an important branch of industry for the Southern States. The most extraordinary instance of patience on record is that of an Amer ican judge, who listened silently for two days while a couple of wordy lawyers contended about the construction of an action of the Legislature, and then end ed the controversy by remarking, “Gen tlemen, the law is repealed.” Now Advertisolvents.
