during his residence in Washington, has, on candidates was Ryan’s, which was 5,988 out of
several occasions, ebampionized bis native State a total vote of 20,500. It will be seen that in
with much success. In 18)>.», his letter to the | j^e grand total vote of all the districts, the
President, soliciting a restoration of the habeas | p enjocrats received 79,231, and the Radicals
carpus, was published with tho proclamation 1 or Be ariy 11,000 votes more than twice

tbonsand dollars' to the suffering poor of the
South, and he was the efficient agent in pro
curing the use of the Laboratory grounds and
buildings for the Fair of last year. The Doctor
is an energetic man—a good writer—a system
atic man of business, and a sound Democrat.
He is also extremely well versed in Southern
agriculture and Southern interests generally.
We take pleasure in suggesting his name to the
management of the association.
A flairs iu Adanin.
A friend just down from the seat of Agency
and Empire, reports the Radicals as much chop-
fallen over the prospects in Washington, al
though they had not, when he left, received the
news of the defeat of the Williams amendment,
and the failure of their hopes of an indefinite
lease of power from Congress. They were
busily employed in preparing for the re-assem-
blage of the Agency on Monday—shaking the
bugs, dust and loose wool out of tho carpets of
tho Sonata and Representative chambers. But
as, in all likelihood, the Senate will not dispose
of Georgia this week, and Congress may not
dismiss her for an indefinite period to trans
pire, the question arises, what is the Agency to
do meanwhile? Some arrangements were
talked of, by which the members of the Agency
conld amuse themselves with marbles, in the
lobbies, while awaiting the action of Congress.
A Has Chignons.
This is onr slogan. We abominate the things
from the bottom of onr disgusted soul. In win
ter they are intolerable. In summer they are
many degrees worse than that. The New York
World tells of a woman at Washington who dares
to wear her own hair. The fact certainly de
serves mention. As the World well sayp, no
one is deceived by these monstrous tumors into
believing any other thing than by theft assump
tion is indicated—a wofnl lack of that long hair
which is the glory of woman in the person
wearing them. They defile collars, they exhale
graveyard savors, and do away with one of tne
pleasantest parts of womans’ heed, next to her
face—the ronnd, shapely noddle, to-wit, of
beauty unadorned. Even the close-shorn “poll”
of a bruiser is preferable in a judicious eye to
the back brain of a pretty woman fouled np with
a mass of horse-hair, sea-moss, and dead folks’
tresses. Away with it, then, fair creatures.
Tight Times.
Wo see the Georgia papers are generally
groaning over tight times; but we judge there
is no solid reason why rimes should be tighter
this spring than lost, unless it is one of a general
progressive tendency down the valley of poverty
and humiliation. If it is the law of onr pro
gress that we shall get poorer and poorer from
year to year, then, of course, we must look for
tighter and tighter times every succeeding
spring; but if we are really recuperating, as a
people, then we should have more money this
April than last one. It is true, corn is higher
and cotton lower; but we have twice as much of
the latter in the warehouses, and the balance in
hand should be larger than it was last spring.
Bnt if we conld stop this everlasting drain for
Western food, we should have abundance of
money for an active trade and circulation.
A Brainless Congress.
Under this bead, Don Piatt, in a late letter to
the Cincinnati Commercial pays ^the following
oompliment to the representatives of the Sonth
as they were before tho war. He shows the
average Yankee ignorance about those be calls
the “poor whites,” but his statements on the
other points are indisputable:
Tha Sonth for a long term of years enjoyed a
higher order of legislative talent from the limit
ed condition of suffrage. The negroes did not
vote nor did the poor whites, save as their mas
ters dictated. It was not Democratic, bnt it was
decent We broke np that system, and, exclud
ing the brain by law, admitted the skulls. No
man questions the resnlt. Instead of gentlemen
wo have low fellows; and in place of a pride that
lifted tho representatives above theft, we have
rogues openly in the market.
Sew Jersey Elections.
The Herald, of Wednesday says:
The township elections in New Jersey, which
took place on Monday, resulted in con>iderable
Democratic gains.
In Morristown, hitherto ‘intensely Radical,”
the Democrats swept the board, though sixty
or more negroes voted solid for the Radical
ticket Other towns shovA like result The
15th amendment outs two ways—it cuts a way to
the ballot box for the negroes to vote the Radi
cal ticket, bnt it also cats fbose from that party
a great mitny whito men who, don’t relish such
enforced political equality with the negro.
A Special Car.
We learn by telegram from Savannah that
Col. Rogers, Superintendent of tho Central
Road, will have a special car at Macon, on Sun
day morning, the 24th instant, for the conveni
ence of deleg&tes to the Press Conventions at
Savannah, and it will leavo, with the regular
train of that morning, say at seven o’clock.
Delegates, however, can pass on the regnlar
trains at nny time between April 20th and May
1st. We remind them again to apply for passes
as directed in the call above.
A Caril.
Editors Telegraph, and Messenger: As
shield to what I feel as the keenest lance in the * Railroad propose to place at Macon and Augus-
t.ition will hereafter be permitted in Congress
from the Sonth, at least, to any considerable ex
tent, so long as the Radicals have the power to
exclude it.
As there is always some pretence of an apol
ogy or exense for fraud and violence, so in this
case the defence nrged is that the people (ne
groes) were preventing from voting and did not
vote. The fact was, and so stated by the N. O.
papers, that just before the election thfi Radi
cal leaders in the State sent circulars around
among their partizans, urging them to stay
away from the polls. If they voted, they would
be beaten, do the best they conld. But if they
staid away the vote would bo shown to be below
the registry; violence could then be charged and
the Radical Congress would then either annul
the election or seat the minority candidates.
Urnvo! Tipton.
Senator Tipton, from the State of Nebraska,
is a Radical whose party standing has hereto
fore been unimpeachable. He has stood by it
through much iniquity, and has manfully shared
the load of its multitudinous sins and miscella
neous infamies. His stomach has proved of the
strongest. None of the heretofore reconstruc
tion concoctions have phased it. He has gulped
them all.
But Mr. Tipton is tiring of the diet, it ap
pears. He has eaten so mnch crow that it palls
on his palate. He no longer hankers after it
He has come to the conclusion that there should
be a change in the bill of fare. He rejects any
more of it very emphatically.
We like the '■ way he shows his disgust, and
therefore print a synopsis of his remarks in the
Senate on the Georgia bill:
THE GEOEGIA HHX.
The Georgia bill was then proceeded with.
Mr. Tipton reviewed the progress of affairs
in the State of Georgia from the time of the
inauguration of Governor Bullock and the as
sembling of the Legislature. He read from the
address of Governor Bullock to the Legislature,
and*from the action of the House of Repre
sentatives in admitting the Georgia members in
1868. He argned that Georgia was then re
garded as a sovereign State everywhere, and
that the delay in admitting her Senators
was caused by the irregular proceedings of the
Legislature, and the bill passed in December
last was expressly designed only to correct these
irregularities, and to perfect the organization of
the Legislature. He held that Georgia had been
fnlly reconstructed; that everything had been
done under the eye of the President and of the
military commander. He was, in faot, opposed
to any bill at all in relation to Georgia. All
that he would desire was that the Senators who
were elected in 1868 should come forward and
take the oath of office.
In regard to the Bingham amendment, there
was no foundation whatever for the cry that
it would hand over the loyal people of Georgia
to the tender mercies of the rebels. That
amendment was made necessary from the fact
that the Legislature of Georgia had assumed
to prolong its term two years beyond the time
for which it was chosen. Certainly he shonld
be glad to see the Republicans triumph in
Georgia, bnt he was not here to legislate for
parly triumphs, but to see that the laws were
administered according to the Constitution of
the United States. He deprecated the attempts
being made to read men oat of the Republican
party because of their course upon this matter;
men were denounced who had given the best
part of their lives to the dissemination of the
principles of equality. The telegraph was in
voked, and mnrders were manufactured to op
erate on the nerves of Senators. Stuff was
gotten np about the President sympathising
with the opponents of the Bingham amendment.
This clap-trap was just as mnch an insnlt to the
President as it was to the Senate.
It was said that railroad riots were instigated
by the Bingham amendment, and he felt safe in
saying that not a man who participated in those
riots could spell the word Bingham. Ho de
spised these things; they had no effect upon
him; he was responsible to an honest and intel
ligent constituency. He asserted that the time
for interference with the States had passed, be
cause the citizenship of the colored man was
recognized everywhere; he was sovereign in
his own right. In proof of this, he quoted
from the Washington Chronicle as to the resnlt
of town elections in Maryland; where the col
ored men voted without let or hindrance, and to
the veto of Governor Bowie, of Maryland, of a
bill because it only recognized white men as
voters, and also to the opinion of the Demo
cratic Attorney General of New Jersey conced
ing the right of the colored men to the ballot
If such a position of affairs now existed in Ne
braska as did in Georgia, be would be found
uniting with any party to resist tyranny.
If the Governor and the Legislature of Ne
braska shonld attempt ever to hold on for a
longer term than they were elected without an
appeal to the people, he should resist them and
by force if necessary. He was in favor of the
people electing their officers just so often as
their constitution provided, and he was in favor
of resisting tyranny and oppression wherever it
was encountered.
P. S.—Will the Atlanta Era please copy, or
tell us whose “organ” Tipton is ?
To (lie Members of the Southern
Press Association.
I havo been officially informed that the Cen
tral Railroad will pass over its main road and
various branches, all delegates to the approach
ing Press Convention at Savannah, free of
charge. It is required of delegates that they
present a pass signed by myself, which will be
good from the 20th of April to the 1st of May
inclusive. This covers the Southwestern, tho
Mnscogee, the Augusta, and the branch road
from Milledgeville, Georgia. And with a liber
ality which goes even beyond the courtesy just
mentioned, the Superintendent of the Central
eourteons and well tempered review by “Ami
ens” of my inaugural address before the Geor
gia Medical Association, I beg to say that your
printer, in the hurry of setting type, made me
say li mercury tender's nos rum," when I really
said “mercenary venders of secret nostrums.”

ta a special car for the conveyance of delegates
to the Convention, said cars to be at the places
mentioned and to be moved at my direction.
As the time is short in which to communicate
with the varions presses of the Association, I
have thought best to make tbi3 publication, and
to inform delegates that I will be in tho city of
Macon on Saturday evening, the 23d inst., and
that the special cars alluded to will leave Macon
and Augusta on Sunday morning, the 21th inst.
Up to this time I haTe no official information of
any similar action upon tho part of the varions
roads embraced within the area of the Associa
tion, bnt presnme that they will also exhibit the
same liberality which has heretofore character
ized their action on similar occasions.
As the delegates are not numerous and are
scattered over a considerable expanse of conn-
try, making it difficult to communicate with me,
I would respectfully suggest to the Snperintend-
The War Upon (be Southern People.
Five yean ago, when the political, social and
material interests of the Southern people sunk
into general wreck and ruin, there was only one
aspect of the situation in any degree consola
tory. It was the hope that when the passions
and acrimonies of the strife should dissipato,
the Southern people would be allowed to merge
themselves in the American masses and escape
at last the storm of persecution which had pur-?
sued them for a generation. Surely, with slave
ry dead, and not a solitary institution or interest
distinctive from, or antagonistic to, the tastes,
convictions and prejudices of the outside world,
they will at length stop the war, and ceaso to
hold ns np to the execration of mankind. The
politics of tho country will cease to hinge on as
persions of Southern character—the National
Legislature will find some other use for the pub-
lio money than in essays and reports upon onr
savagery, barbarism, and moral and religions
degradation—the pulpits will stop their anath
emas—and the Northern press, with its cosmo
politan circulation, will no longer think it worth
while to keep np a cannonade upon a section
which has sank into political insignificance—has
ceased to be rivals, and become in every shape
mere helpless victims.
Events since that day have shown how totally
mistaken may be a natural and reasonable con
clusion. The war of cannon, musket and torch
had scarcely ceased its death-dealing work upon
the lives, liberty and property of the people,
before the war of moral assassination and mur
der was renewed with astounding violence, and
has now reached a pitch of frenzied fury which
it takes away one’s breath to contemplate—
makes him donbt tho evidence of his own eyes
and ears—so malignant, furious, unreasonable
and false is it The tide of slanderous lies
mounts every day with increasing volume to such
a prodigious height,that all common senso evers
it must at length drown credulity; but the big
ger the flood the more monstrous the gulph.
Senator Wilson declares that more people
have been murdered in the Sonth for their Rad
ical politics than were ever killed in any engage
ment of tho war! Hamilton, of TexaB, more
moderate, says ten thousand have been mur
dered on account of their loyalty, and an organ
ized system of arson, outrage and assassination
pervade the Sonth. Such slanders as these
grow like toad-stools from day to day, notwith
standing thousands of Northern men are travel
ing all over the Sonth and know it to be the
most qniet section of the country, and the vic
tim only of a malignant perseention from des
perate partisan villains who are exasperated to
fory simply because their treason to natnre and
the Southern people provokes only a calm and
contemptuous neglect.
Hamilton, of Texas, says he was bora and
raised among the people—has lived all his life
among them, and knows them to be the most
desperate set of ent-throats God has ever per
mitted on his footstool! Bollock steps np and
shakes hands with Hamilton upon this declara
tion. In no other community on earth than the
Sonth conld men live without even a particle of
danger of molestation, whose atrocions and un
provoked warfare upon the rights, reputation
and property of their fellow citizens had risen
to such a savage and insane fory.
Before the bar of reason and common sense
Georgia and Texas will stand vindicated as the
most forbearing of all commnnities, when men
whose months are filled with such slanders as
these meet with no other evidence of the public
indignation, than mere neglect from the people
upon whom they disgorge their filthy vitupera
tion.
We see no other hope in the situation than
that the mad excesses of the partisan slander
ers shall, in time, overburden Northern credu
lity and react upon themselves. By and by
they most reach a point beyond which they can
not go and retrogression follow. Bnt we most
come to the relnctant conclusion that the var
of the Radical party upon tho South is eternal—
irreconcilable and nnsparing. We can never
have peace bnt on the condition of “voting the
Radical ticket” and that we cannot do. So far
from it, this system of malignant persecution
must consolidate the whole white race of the
Sonth, and we believe a large portion of the
colored race also, in the bonds of an indignant,
though impassive, hostility to these persecutors.
The sense of injustice and outrage will sink
deep into every generous mind. The miserable
wrltches who, for gain, make themselves the
tools of tho Northern Radicals in these insalts
upon a defenceless people, will sink deeper and
deeper in the popular loathing, and become
more and more powerless except as they may be
armed for destruction and mischief by the Radi
cal Congress. None of their following not lost
to all sense of trnth and fair dealing, can long
abide them. The very atmosphere which snr-
ronnds them can breed only toads and serpents—
the moral manhood of the South will meet their
insults, injuries and oppression with calm bnt
unutterable contempt.
Bollock and Blodgett Hard Up for
Cash—Baying Votes With Bailroad
Bonds.
The Richmond Dispatch, of Thursday, had
the following special:
Railroad bonds endorsed by the State of
Georgia have been offered to secure votes
against the Bingham amendment to the Geoigia
bill. In one instance this can be proved. The
Senator who was to have been influenced has
declared his intention to vote for the amend
ment, and the party proposing the trade was
promptly exposed to the friends of the amend
ment.
This is the lost little game, we suppose, of
the bnsy B.s to get possession of Georgia for
two years more. They have used np all the
State road money,'and the rest of the loose
change they conld lay their paws on, and now
railroad bonds are the currency. We suppose
the First National Bonk of Now York has re
fused to honor any more of Bullock’s checks as
‘Governor of Georgia," or he would not be re
duced to this bond dicker. What depths of de
gradation and wickedness will not the man
sound before he gets to the bottom ?
Now, we want to know what railroad bonds
these were, and who was offering them in this
Bhameful trade ? We have onr suspicions as to
both, bnt we would like to bo certain. Tho
man who proposes to sell his vote for this sor
of currency, is greener than we expeoted to
hear of among the Congressional traders. He
ought to havo the money down. There will be
great uncertainty abont realizing on mnoh
of this sort of security. If the advent of
honest men to power finds much of it on his
bands, we fear he’ll tear his hair and foam at
the month. It won’t be worth as much as Bol
lock’s promises or Blodgett’s oath. We give
fair notice now to all, both buyers and sellers,
that the people don’t intend to pay for their
own spoliation and rain afto*eny such fashion.
They will never foot any such bills. Bollock
may buy as many votes as he can with cash in
hand, and the people be obliged to lose the
money, but when ho goes to trading with
promises to pay,” those who taka them will
ran considerable risk of hearing something
from Georgia, one of these days, not to their
advantage. Let those who are “np for Cowes
and a market," abont Washington and every
where else, hear and heed. We charge them
nothing for this friendly cantion.

None to Spabe.—A gent from this city, in
quest of country produce, had an advontore, a
day or two ago, with a backwoods lady in the
neighborhood of No. 10, M & G. Railroad.
“Madam,’ said ho, “I have called to buy some
eggs and butter; I heard that you had plenty.”
“I have none to spare, you lazy devil; I eat my
eggs and butter. That’s all you good-for-noth
ing town folks are fit for, to prowl around and
eat np what we honest country folks make by
hard labor. Go to work and make your own
provisions.” City chap tried to explain that he
was willing to pay for all he got, but old lady’s
ire becoming kindled, she let fly a volley at him
that soon cured him of his egg-suoking propen
sities, and he made his way for No. 10 in double
quick.
Of the case of tho negro who recently mur
dered young Boswell, in Harris county, the Sun
says;
Haeuis Ooubt—The Case of the Young Ne-
ono Muedebeh.—Harris Court adjourned on
yesterday, after a brief session. On the day
before the case of the negro boy who killed a
white boy some weeks since was callod, Col.
Jas. N. Ramsey and Hon. Mark H. Blandford
were appointed by the Court to defend him.
His counsel moved a change of venue, which
motion was granted by the Conrt, the first case
of the kind, we believe, in this State, and the
b»y was ordered to this place for trial. This
cieated some excitement among the people of
Harris, and it was feared that the boy might be
forcibly taken and hung by the friends and
sympathizers of tho family of the murdered
white boy. Bette* and more prudent counsels
prevailed, however, and late yesterday after
noon the negro was placed in jail, and in cus
tody of The Sheriff of this county. We refer to
the fact as evidence that onr people, though
greatly slandered and provoked, are law abid
ing and peaceful.
The Warrenton Clipper says that Terry’s sol
diers at that place have tamed ku-klax. On
Sunday, a detachment having in charge a gov
ernment wagon, and returning from Barnett,
assaulted Peter King, a colored preacher, upon
the public road, and fired upon him, one shot
taring effect in his head and another in his
stomach, from the effects of which we learn he
died on Monday last.
Leaving Peter lying in the road, the blue
ku-klax that did tho firing, accompanied by the
son of the military Sheriff of this countyj
started for Warrenton. They had proceeded
abont four miles on their way, when they dis
covered two colored boys upon the road. The
bhody kn-klnx 1 commenced firing upon them,
but without effect, the negroes taking refuge
behind the fenoe. Two young gentlemen who
had been attracted to the road by the firing,
were also fired upon by the same party.

Under the head “Important Railroad Move
ments,” the Chronicle has the following:
Important Railroad Movements.—A Meet
ing of the Directors of the Georgia railroad was
held at the office of the Company, on the cor
ner of Broad and McIntosh streets in this city,
on the afternoon of last Wednesday.
Several subjects of the greatest importance to
the people of this city and Georgia, were dis
cussed, and action upon some of them taken.
We learn from tho best authority that it was
determined to build the Athens and Rabnn Gap
railroad, and that a committee was appointed
to take charge of the work, and correspond with
the people of Knoxville, Tennessee, on the sub
ject. The building of this important railway
commonication between Augusta and the cotton
growing regions of Middle Georgia and the
groceries of the great West, has for some time
been agitated, and last summer the ronte of
the proposed road was thoroughly surveyed. It
is thought, however, that the belief that the
Angnstu and Hartwell road wonld be bmlt, and
tho enterprise receive State aid, cansed the
Georgia railroad to aronse from its lethargy and
resolve to prevent their line from being cut off.
For some time past endeavors have been
made to bnild the road from Atlanta to Decatnr,
in Northern Alabama, where the Memphis and
Charleston and Nashville and Decatnr Railroads
would be tapped, and by means of which the
State Road wonld be flanked. The parties who
were expected to Jmild this road were, naturally,
the city of Atlanta and the Georgia Railroad
Company. Two contractors have offered to
bnild the road—one for fifteen thousand dollars
per mile in gold, cash; the other for twenty-
seven thousand dollars per mile in currency—
ten thousand to be paid cash, and the balance
to be taken in stock and endorsed bonds. The
Directors of the Georgia Railroad havo deter
mined to accept the last offer, and will pay five
thousand dollars per mile, the eity of Atlanta
agreeing to pay the other five thousand; and a
committee was also appointed to manage this
affair.
A resolution was also passed to buy a large
amount of the stock of the Atlanta and West
Point Railroad so as to defeat the plans of the
Central Railroad for gaining possession of that
Company.
Savannah has the first green peas of the
season.
Patrick Connor, the oldest resident of At
lanta, and the second white man who settled
there, died on Sunday.
The Valdosta Times says Rachel Johnson, a
negro woman of that place, was instantly killed
by lightning on Saturday last. Two of her
children who were walking by her side were not
hurt.
The Lumpkin Telegraph says the Bainbridge,
Cuthbert and Columbns Railroad is progressing
bravely. Nine miles are already finished, and
to-day eleven and a half will be completed.

Gen. R. E. Lee.—Genoral R. E. Lee sailed
on the steamer Nick King last Tuesday to visit
the grave of his father, General Harry Lee,
(“Light' Horse Harry.”) situated at Dungeness,
Cumberland Island, on tho coast of Georgia.
General Henry Lee was, daring the winter of
1817-18, at the West Indies for his health. He
sailed from Nassau on tho ship “Betsy” for Sa
vannah on the 10th of February, 1818. Instead

berland Island, where he was received by Mrs.
Shaw, the daughter of General Greene, at the

his last hours soothed by the tender care of the
daughter of one he so muoh revered, and to
know that his remains would be placed by the
side of his comrade in arms.
