MACON, JUNE H-WOf
Wars and Humors of War—Stand
,, :) ftom w**jP®^* B I — M l
AU of a sudden a portentous war cloud-is
said to overshadow Europe. Russia, “so they
say,” is at last preparing to consummate her
darling and long-cherished project—the acquisi
tion of Turkey. She pants for the the genial
climate—the rich soil and the grand maritime
outlets of the Ottoman Empire, and busily
foments and backs the quarrel between the Sul'
tan and the ambitions Khedive of Egypt, as a
favorable e^sion to push her conquests.—
France and the other continental powers are,
however, watching her with jealous eyes and
will not permit the European balance to be so
seriously disturbed without a struggle.
It is stated that general apprehensions of war
have caused the recent advances in wheat on
jhia side of the water, and that last Saturday
foreign bnyers, in the New York market, took
two hundred thousand bushels of wheat and
were looking for farther orders.
We trust they are all mistaken and Turk and
Cossack will keep the peace. If they don’t,
what will the Georgia planters do, who have
staked their fortunes on cotton ? With the
foreign cotton market crippled and prices of
American grain stimulated by an extraordinary
demand from abroad, we shall all be in a bad
case. Hold on, Cossack! Prithee, keep the
peace, mad Egyptian. Be quiet, Mr. Saltan.
We are just now in a bad fix to bear your can-
traps. If you have not had enough of war, we’ll
bring the testimony of half a million Georgians
to prove it a poor business, ever so well fol
lowed.
True Bill.
The Baltimore Gazette does but anticipate
the trath of the history which will surely be
written one day, when it declares that there is
nothing more contemptible in the history of the
Badical party than the fanatical persecution of
the South which it keeps up through its organs
and its leaders. Without confidence in its own
strength, conscious that it can only maintain
itself by the abuse of the power which it wields,
no opportunity is lost to vilify a conquered peo
ple, to excite hostility and to foster bitterness
of feeling, in order to give some excuse for its
unmanly persecution. If a negro outrages a
woman and i3 not caught, the sin is laid at the
door of a rebel. If an Indian commits a mur
der and escapes, it is a wandering rebel who is
tho criminal. If a carpet-bagger behaves like
a blackguard and is kicked out of decent com
pany, it is his loyal virtues which earn him such
martyrdom. And so on to the end of the chap
ter.
Congress and Georgia.
The New York Express, of Monday evening,
has the following:
The House (Georgia) reconstruction bill,
ready to be reported at the first opportunity,
goes even far ahead of the Bingham amend
ment. It is specially provided therein that a
new election in the State shall be beld the com
ing fall, as is provided in the State Constitu
tion. The bill differs in all its essential features
from tho Senate bill, which was some time since
passed in that body in such an incongruous
shape after a very protracted debate. It is
gravely apprehended that the present status of
tho question, and the seeming incompatibility
of views in Congress, will, after all, put off an
adjustment of Georgia till the next session. We
are not sure that this is to be regretted. The
present condition of Georgia is bad enough, and
any additional Badical legislation can only have
the effect to aggravate her sufferings.
Georgia, of course, prefers the present status
to the worse one which is sought to bo imposed
upon her in the practical abolition of represent
ative government and perpetuation of tyranny,
fraud and usurpation. But certainly every pa
triotic citizen would regret to see Congress ad
journ without extending to the people an op
portunity for self protection by the election of
a new Legislature, according to the provisions
of the Constitution.
Bessemer .Steeling!
The New York Tribune of Monday solemnly
indicts tho “Democrats (in Congress) who have
been most clamorous for a redaction of the
Tariff,” with the crime of defeating, by dilato
ry motions Schenck’s amendment to reduce the
Tariff. The following editorial from the New
York Express of the same date explains the mat
ter and exposes the fraud and villainy ,which
characterizes all of this protective legislation :
A CONGRESS or BIO JOBS.
The Northern Pacific Bailroad waa put through
Congress, wo might say bought through, with mil
lions upon millions of lands, to be bonded to for
eigners, to build it—but that job was a small
job, compared with what is now going through,
in other measures.
The pneumatic, or Bessemer, process of con
verting pig iron almost directly into steel, is
monopolized in this country by three men—one
Mr. Griswold, of Troy, late a member of Con
gress, but later, the Eepublican candidate in
New York for Governor, (running in the Presi
dential race with Oen. Grant;) another, Mr.
Morrell, a member of Congress from Pennsylva
nia, and tho- powerful owner of the Cambria
Iron Works there ; and the third, Mr. Winslow,
of Albany, or Mr. Ward, of Detroit, tho great
Protectionist there, (it is not certain which of
the two.) These three gentlemen have a twelve
years’ patent to run in the United States, and
what they want of Congress is a prohibitory
duty upon English, Belgian, or German steel
rails so that they can make them all themselves,
in the renowal of the existing 55,000 miles of
railroads in this country, and increasing every
year 2,000, miles, or more.
Now, to do this, Gen. Schcnck, we seo by
Saturday’s proceedings in the House, has hitch
ed on to the Internal Revenue bill a Tariff bill—
and in this bill, is this enormous bounty to these
three steel patentees—which is worth to them,
if smartly lobbied through Congress, over $5,-
000,000, probably $10,000,000. A bounty so
unpalatable, if left alone, all see, could hardly
pass—and therefore, to sweeten it, Mr. Sehenck
proposed a redaction of taxes-npon sugar, tea
and coffee—in the belief that, before the peo
ple, a gift, douceur of millions to three steel
monopolists can b*e maintained by demagoging
upon tea, coffee and sugar! To bring about
this iniquitous legislation, it became necessary
for Mr. Schenck to carry the previons question,
Saturday—so that the people could not see the
direct vote upon the millions given to the mon
opolists—but could be humbugged by the cry,
“We have taken off taxes npon tea, coffee and
sugar!" The previons question failed at first
by a small majority—but honesty in Congress
being too weak against bounty and monopoly,
it was finally carried, and doubtless to-day,
Messrs. Griswold, Morrell and Winslow will
have the millions voted into their pockets by
the House, Mr. Morrell, as a member, voting
or It himself!
The fact is, there never was such a shameless
Congress as this, and scarcely any Legislature
so shameless, not even the carpet-bag negro leg
islatures of the South, where negroes now aire
quoted from $50 to $100 per head, who, under
the old Slavery system, cost from $800 to $1,200.
If Congress does not adjourn soon there will
not be left any public-lands for the people to
settle npon—no, not even a dollar in the Treas
ury—for all are being disbursed as fast as Con
gress can disburse them. How long, oh how
long, will the Northern Republicans be duped
into being thieves and robbers, under the dead
cay of “slavery” and reconstruction! What
slavery is. greater than this, which for twelve
years subjects the million of peoplo and all the
transportation in this country, to the monopoly
patent^ of Messrs. Griswold, Morrill & Co. '-
It is stated, we see, in the Philadelphia cor
respondence of “The Iron Age," of this oity, a
paper run by the iron monopolists, that these
new steel rails can be made for $ ir,p er ton,
about twice the oost of pig iron, and what
Messrs. Griswold, Morrell and Winslow (or
Ward) ask of Congress, is to levy a prohibitory
duty of 1} oents per pound on steel rails—that
is, $38 CO per ton upon a home cost of $42 per
ton!—so that, with their patents here, they oan
charge $90, or $100 per ton, and no foreigners
from abroad compete with their twelve years’
patents here 1
Central City Condition Powders the best medi
ans on tUt continent for live stock.
Rip Tan Winkle Begins to Stir.
.Macon is giving some spasmodic signs of wak
ing up from her comfortable snooze. She is
begining to give some foundation for the belief
that all that essence known as public spirit has
not been dried up in her veins, and that when
she has fairly stretched her stiffened joints and
nibbed the sleep out of her eyes, she will really
do something. We .never chronicled anything
with more hearty satisfaction. It is the best
news we could hear if away from -home, as it
will be to all, everywhere, who take, the slightest
interest in her future.
We know no place that needs to cultivate and’
stimnlate this thing of public spirit more than
Macon. It has been allowed to languish and
droop too long, already. It has become chronic
almost in its atrophy—when putting it in a vig
orous condition of high, robust health meant
solid prosperity and steady growth. Nature has
done much, very mnch for Macon, but Macon
has done, in comparison,'very little for herself.
This everybody has seen and known ever so
long, but. nobody has moved. To snooze along
at a good old Kip Van Winkleish pace while all
the world besides was up and striking for for
tune, was so comfortable and so economical,
apparently. Bents were high enough to nett at
least ten per cent, on the investment, and the
few stock companies we had paid their few
stockholders very snug dividends, and why dis
turb so comfortable a situation? This was the
question and the answer was, a little more sleep,
a little more slumber, a little more folding of
tho hands together upon fat rents and plethoric
dividends. And all this time the world moved,
and moved fast, and Macon was being left al
most out of sight.
This was our status until very recently. We
are cheered to think that although we are still
stationary, we are not asleep, and that action
bids very fair to follow awakening. There is a
spirit abroad that will, we trust, prove the lever
to move the sluggish mass from its rusty bed.
There are men already not only fully aroused,
but on their feet and in motion, whose brains,
tongues, and purses are moving to drive out
the evil spirit of apathy and narrow minded
selfishness. They have appreciated the dan
gers that threaten us, and are buckling down to
the work of meeting and averting them. They
are active men and earnest men, bat they are
not omnipotent. They need, and must have
stont backing. They have opponents, strange
to say—men of prestige, too, whose influence
has been powerfully felt in the past, but whose
ideas have neither kept step with the progress
of the times, nor ceased to run in tho narrow
groove of personal interests. They think we
are all doing very well because, forsooth, they are
They hold that we must lie fiat on onr backs
when we should be crawling at least, and that
wo should bo crawling when we ought to be
getting over the ground with a man’s lusty
strides. Wo give them-due credit for sincerity
of purpose and honesty of judgment, but we
feel it in our bones that they do not appreciate
tho situation. They are not fully awake. They
don’t recognize the difference between the
needs, aye and the perils of the Macon of to
day, and tho needs of the Macon of ten years
ago. They are not made of the stuff that lead
ership in almost everything demands, now.—
They may make good privates, but officers we
fear, never.
It is for the people to choose between these
leaders. The great mass of the people of Ma
con expect to live and die here. A majority of
them, perhaps, must stay in any event. They
are interested in Macon’s future most vitally.
We hope, nay we are sure, they will sustain any
and eveiy proposition that, with due regard to
sound judgment, promises results that cannot
fail to better Macon’s condition, and therefore
their condition." They are not called npon for
any extraordinary efforts. All that i3 asked is
for them to use their natural advantages.
Their limbs have been cramped by an un
natural and paralyzed inquietude. Let them
rise and stretch themselves. That is all
that is asked now, all that is demanded by the
exigencies of the present. We move that Kip
Van Winkle not only stand up but that ho step
out at quick time, and on that motion we de
mand the yeas and nays.
Slow to Learn.
The Northern Eepublican papers are clamor
ous for tho rejection of Whittemoro by tho
Honse, and among them the Philadelphia Even
ing Telegraph, of the 2d inst, remarks gener
ally as follows:
“The Eepublican party mnst wash its hands
of theso political abortions called State officials
in the reconstructed States, or it must cease to
rule in a single commonwealth of the Sonth.
When reconstruction began it was impossible to
place competent and honest men in power in
the Southern States, but reconstruction is set
tled, and the Eepublican party most demand
ability and integrity in its representative men
or it must die.”
A patent fact, but tardily recognized. The
Bepublican party must commend itself in som6
way to the judgment, intelligence, virtue and
patriotism of the people, or it not only “must
die," bnt everybody will say it ought to die.
Bnt how shall it begin to cancel its horrid re
cord in the South since the surrender? its ram
pant oppression—its lawless caprice—its reck
less contempt of tho will of the people and the
publio welfare ? How get rid of its wretched
parasites and instruments of tyranny, who are
mentally and morally the fitting link between a
black semi-barbarian constituency and the vin
dictive policy of Congress ? How could they
put representative men of the Sonth in snch a
position ? No snch a man wonld consent to oc
cupy it. How conld any men of “ability and
integrity,” become prompters and agents of the
counsels of a sottish ignorance and stupidity,
on the one hand, and a vindictive and lawless
bigotry and intolerance on the other?
Who can fail to see that from the capes of
Florida to the Potomao—from the AUantio to
tho Bio Grande, the official exponents of Badi-
calism are jost such men as they are, only be
cause none others are fitted to the work. There’s
a perfect harmony in the Congressional concep
tions and the instrumentalities which are em
ployed to enforce them. When law, reason,
pnblio liberty, private rights, sound polioy and
good government are to be overthrown and well
disposed communities are to be embarrassed
and harrassed by persistent mal-administration,
men of ability, virtue, integrity and moral
worth wonld be out of place as instruments in
the business. We say, then, the waste of fraud,
corruption, abuse and tyranny which now covers
the Southern States like a deluge, filly repre
sents the policy of the Government; and such
a policy conld have.no other consummation.
When different instruments shall be em
ployed, there must be a corresponding change
of policy, purpose and feeling, upon the part of
the Badical organization. They must be willing
that justice, truth, righteousness, good govern
ment and harmony shall substitute tortuous
mis-govemment in the interests of hatred Sand
discord. They must be willing that wheat shall
be sown instead of tares. They must be will
ing that the oppressed intelligence of the coun
try shall exert its benign influence and healing
counsels * to consolidate pnblio and private se
curity on the basis of even-handed justice, and
a vigorous assertion of publio order.
But when will that be ? It will be when the
Radical party ceases to be the Badical party!
When it conceives one serious idea of adminis
tering the government for the good of the peo
ple and not merely to perpetuate its own grasp
of the publio purse and sword. In a word, it
will be when Radicalism is regenerated or
buried. lofe*c» > J

Bryant’s paper, the Georgia Bepublican, will
hereafter be printed at Augusta.
Mr. J. A. Bitting, of North Carolina, is soon
to establish a tobecoo factory in Augusta.
The monthly sales, Tuesday, in Augusta, were
duIL- Very little property was offered, and what
was sold brought much less than its value.
We quote as follows from the Savannah Ee
publican :
Hutchinson’s Island.—Mr. John A. Staley
proposes to purchase this island for the sum of
ten thousand dollars, and in case the City Fath
ers shall accept his proposal, he will make im
provements which cannot fail to promote the
health'of the city.
We learn that his intention is to surround the
whole island with a dike of sufficient height to
prevent the tide from overflowing the gronnds,
and to interseot it with a sufficient number of
ditches to thoroughly drain it, and to get rid of
the surplus water by means of pumps to be
driven by wind-mills. By this means he will be
enabled to make one of the finest garden spots
in America, and at the same time destroy a
fruitful source of poisonous gasses.
Yesterday morning a few white gentlemen,
who had seated themselves in the colored ear of
the inbound train from the Isle of Hope, were
invited into another car by the conductor. The
conductor gave as a reason for the invitation,
that the two colored gentlemen of the colored
car objected to white gentlemen sitting and
smoking in that car.
■ The monthly sales, Tuesday, at Columbus'
were a duplicate of those at Augusta. Prices
were low, and a great deal of property with
drawn from sale. At a large sale of groceries,
damaged corn bronght $115 a bushel, fine flour
$7 25 a barrel, syrup 05 cents a gallon, and
common sugar 10 cents a pound.
The thermometer for the past few days, in
Columbus, has ranged from 85 to 90 degrees in
cool shady places.
The Enquirer says:
A’M-AT/ivM-AnrmTHTg.—The parties to the mar
riage Monday were taken from the guard-house
at 10 o’clock, yesterday, and again carried be

on bail. We presume tho parties will be
arraigned before the Superior Court now in

The colored peoplo of the city flocked in
numbers to the guard-house to see the now-
aspirants for matrimonial felicity, and seemed
to hail the event as a triumph of the principle
of social equality. Heard one woman say, “I
hope 80 more just sich will marry to-night.”
A Greensboro correspondent of the Chronicle
and Sentinel writes:
We have fine growing weather. The com
crop is promising. The area in corn is about
that of last year. The price of old com varies
$1 GO to $1 75 per busheL Cotton crops are as
a general rale, more promising than at the same
time last year. Cotton is the king that the far
mers of old Greene worshp, and the farmers
call all hands and the cook daily now to defend
hi3 majesty and kill his enemy, the grass. The
breadth of land in cotton is greater than last
year. Smaller farmers who have gone in debt
for fertilizers and provisions, begin to speculate
doubtingly of the coming price of the growing
crop, and are showing some anxiety about the
coming ides of November. The wheat crop is
being harvested and is exceedingly fine. Wheat
commands a price of‘$1 40 to $1 45 per bushel,
much of it therefore, will be fed to stock with
the straw, and not sent to market; wheat also is
being ground to meal and distributed as bread
rations instead of com meal to save buying com.
The Cartersville Express has ^this crop sum
mary:
Fine rains continue. Crops growing rapidly;
harvesting commenced this week; grain good,
and heads well filled. Oat crop improving rap
idly under tho recent rains. Clover has also
improved.

Mrs. Teat, of Atlanta, died Tuesday night
from an overdoso of morphine administered by

The Hawkinsville Dispatch has heard of one
farmer in that county who has 300 acres in oot-

The Dispatch notes good rains and fine grow

as doing remarkably well.
The Dispatch says a good tinner is very much
needed in that place."
Of crops about Athens, the Watchman says:
The late frequent and abundant showers have
thoroughly saturated the earth, and wo now
have fine growing weather. Spring oats have
stretched up wonderfully. Wheat is ready to
harvest—a fine crop-^-no rust, “no nothing”
bos hurt it, and there is a fine prospect of an
extraordinary crop. Com and cotton are doing
well, and garden vegetables growing finely. If
the weather continues favorable, we shall have
a great crop year.
Of crops around Bamesvillo tho Gazette re
ports as follows:
The crops are growing finely, and cotton is
rapidly producing “squares.” Wheat is being
harvested and promises a good yield. Oats
have improved from the recent rains bnt cannot
make half a good crop.

Under the head “A Good Neighborhood,” the
Savannah News says:
A few days since we published a table show
ing the number of deaths in onr city, which
completely refuted the ideas of outsiders in re

that truly remarkable evidence of healthiness,
we are informed, and requested to place on
record, the fact that on one block, in the south

whose ages range from two years to two weeks.
The Dawson Journal, of yesterday, says:
Drought,—We are surprised, and exceeding
ly regret to hear the reports from a large por
tion of Calhoun and this (Terrell) county, ns to
the extent of damage done by reason of the
continued drought. Fully two-thirds of the
area of these two counties have not had a season
since the first of April. It is thought that com
is too small to make one-half a crop, under the
most favorable seasons. But for the bad stand,
cotton has time to recuperate and make a me

The best planters tell ns it is impossible to
make a good crop of either com or cotton in

Excitement at Tnskegee, Alabama.
The Montgomery Advertiser, of Wednesday,
says: •
Advices from Tnskegee last night represent
that armed negroes are guarding the Btreets
leading to the town, and firing upon all persons
who do not give tho countersign. Women and
children have fled from the place, seeking ref
uge in Montgomery and places alofig the rail
road. The Badical whites have told the negroes
that the negro legislator, Alston, was shot at the
instance of white men, and they have declared
that the town shall be destroyed, and fixed np
on last night or to-day as the time.
This negro, Alston, was a member of the last
Alabama Legislature, so-called, and was shot
Saturday night, by a parly of negroes who were
jealous of his position, and who, in a League
meeting the same night, had threatened his
life.

DEFENCE OF THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
Being a Reply to Governor Bullock, by Hon.
. Nelson Tift, late Representative Seoond Con
gressional District of Georgia.
Washington, D. G., June 4, 1870.
To the Honorable Members of the Senate mid
House of Bepresentatives of the Congress of
the United States:
As the State of Georgia is not now permitted
to have representation or a voice in CoDgress,
I adopt this method of addressing you in de
fence of the reputation, the rights,' and inter
ests of her people.
Under pretence of defending himself against
the partial exposure of his crimes by the hon
orable Judiciary Committee of the Senate,
Governor Bollock, in his jlitter of May 23d, ad
dressed to certain members of Congress, con
tinues to fabricate and repeat falsehoods and
slanders against the people of the State of
Georgia*, through the instrumentality of which,
and the means of corruption drawn from the
treasury, he has now for two years agitated
Congress, promoted discord, delayed the res
toration of peace and good fellowship among
the people and States of the Union, retarded
the prosperity of the State, violated the Con
stitution and laws, usurped the authority, and
sacrificed the rights of our people.
The statement made by the Senate Judiciary
Committee that Gov. Bullock did “use improp
er means to influence the vote upon the Geor
gia question,” and the statement of Hon. Sen
ator Ferry, that, “had Georgia for the last two
years been in the hands of men of high patriot
ism, if it had been in the hands of men who
were looking to the welfare of the nation in
stead of their own pecuniary advancement, we
might have had a different state of things from
what exists to-day,” are truths mildly stated,
and well knoign.by sad experience to the peo
ple of Georgia. *
Gov. Bullock, in hi3 letter, with an effron
tery which would make Satan smile in approba
tion, states that, in representations concerning
Georgia, he has “been careful to avoid exag
geration and to state only the literal trath,”
and he challenges contradiction.
I do not now think of a single important
statement made by Gov. Bollock, relative to
the condition of affairs in Georgia, which has
not been exaggerated or false. . The slanders
which he caused to be raked from alt parts of
the State end presented to the Beconstruction
Committee of the 40th Congress, 3d session,
were disapproved by the unanimous testimony
of more thaa one hundred judges, ordinaries,
mayors of cities, and sworn witnesses, who
were among the best citizens residing in differ
ent parts of the State, and many of whom were
among the best Bepublicans in the State. .
The false statement of his conversations with
President Grant, which he telegraphed over the
country to iniuence legislation against Georgia,
were denied by anthority from President Grant.
His late letter and his testimony before the
Judiciary Committee, are made up of exagger
ations and falsehoods.
In his letter he repeats the now demonstrated
falsehood, that there were “thirty or more” in
eligible members in the original organization
of the Georgia Legislature. He then knew that
of the fourteen “flagrant” cases tried by Gen.
Terry’s Military Commission, hut three had
been declared ineligible, and that eleven were
declared eligible. He also knew that tho six
teen men who declined to qualify were induced
to do so by his threats and promises, his false
hood and'treachery.
In his letter he refers to his official commu
nication to the Legislature, on the expulsion of
the colored members. In that communication
he denounced the seating of the minority can
didates, as a violation of the Constitution, the
laws of Congress, and the principles of repub
lican government, and he threatened the Legis
lature vith Congressional action.
But drcumstances change, and so does Gov
ernor Enllock. In General Terry’s report (Sen
ate doo. No. 41.) is an argument of twelve pages,
which he says, (page 12) “is a presentation of
the law of the whole case in behalf of Bullock.”
In this argument he says: * * “Without
question, if a person nominally elected is found
inelligible, that body (the Legislature) wonld
declare the next highest elected and give him
the seat. * * Indeed, there has never been
in the State any doubt of the application of this
law to the Legislature until the present crisis
has given it birth.”
General Terry was finally convinced (see his
report) that be could not legally seat the minor
ity candidates, but he allowed his acknowledged
subordinates, Gov. Bullock and tho Legislature
to seat seventeen of them, thus giving Govern
or Bollock control of the Legislature which he
now seeks to perpetuate.
Gov. Bollock, in his letter, refers to an ex
amination in his official conduct by a committee
of the Georgia Honse of Bepresentatives in
January, 1809, and sera that they finally re
ported back a resolution to the effect that they
could find nothing affecting my official or per
sonal integrity.” In this Gov. Bullock has sup
pressed facts, which is the equivalent of inten
tional falsehood. Tfie majority of this com
mittee made a “white-washing” report. The
minority of the committee-reported in substance,
the fact that Gov. Bullock vas guilty in numer
ous instances of appropriating the publio money
contrary to law. The minority report was
adopted in tho House by a vote of 80 yeas to
37 nays, and to-day he stands charged by that
action with impeachable offences for violations
of the Constitution which ho had sworn to sup
port;
Governor Bullock, in his letter, boasts that
he “shall leave the office of Governor of Geor
gia with clean hands,” bnt with his “private
fortune greatly diminished,” etc. If public
reputation and the tax-books can be relied upon,
he had no “private fortune” when he took the
office of Governor; and even now the State
Treasurer, N. L. Angier, who has published
eleven distinct charges and specifications against
him for violations of the Constitution and laws
in the use of the publio funds, eto., states that
“tho Governor neither gives in nor pays any
State, county, or revenue (income) taxand
and yet he spent $14,500 in Washington be
tween the 5th of March and tho 21st of April
last, using “improper means” to influence Con
gress against the State. This rate of expendi
ture for the twenty-five months which ho has
been Governor, would have required a private
fortune of $240,800.
Bead the report of tho thirteen pages of Gov.
Bullock’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary
Committee for an illustration both of the “un
willing” and the “swift” witness. In answer to
tho third and fourth questions he denies all dis
tinct knowledge of why the colored members of
the Georgia Legislature came to Washington.
In his fourth answer he says: “I do not know
that I can say that I knew of any dispatches
sent to have them comeand it required the
twelve following questions by the committee to
draw from him the fact that he did telegraph to
'Atlanta for them to come to Washington with
the “design” and “purpose of exercising an in
fluence in opposition to the Bingham Amend
ment.” Such was the general character of his
testimony until he came to Chapman and Sena
tor Pomeroy.
No candid man can read carefully Gov. Bul
lock’s testimony concerning Senator Pomeroy,
from page 143 to page 148, and especially in
the light of Senator Pomeroy’s statement on
page 149, wlthont a conviction, too strong to be
resisted, that the whole story is either the result
of a conspiracy between Chapman and Governor
Bullock, ora coldblooded malignant fabrica
tion to injure the reputation and destroy the
influence of an honorable Senator who had op
posed some of his wicked designs upon Geor
gia. In this part of his testimony, there are
three distinct objects: to slander Senator Pome
roy, who opposes his schemes in Congress ; to
slander Capt. Bryant, a Bepublican member,
who opposes his schemes in the Georgia Legis
lature ; and to divert attention from his alleged
scheme of selling the State Bailroad to the
“Sonthem Express Company,” an odious bill
for the incorporation of whiohhe has now be
fore Congress, and has solicited itsjpassago be
fore the committees.
If it were necessary I oould go on, but I tire
of the humiliating reoord of his crimes, and
trust that I have said enough to convince you
of the character and purposes of Gov. Bullock,
and to show you that the good people of Geor
gia can have no legal protection for their rights
exoept through the'action of Congress.
Gov. Bollock has worked with a desperate
pnrposeand energy to the point which he has
now almost attained.
When the Legislature of Georgia was organ
ized under the new Constitution in 1868, ana he
found that ho could not control a majority of
its members, he quarrelled with General Meade
because he would not apply the “test oath” to
exclude his opponents, telling Gen. Meade at
the same time that “his friends” had been re
lieved by Congress.
It is believed by many that he suggested and
aided secretly in the expulsion of the oolored
members of the Legislature to make a pretext
for reorganization by Congress.
• He vetoed a joint resolution of the Legisla
ture pledging the State to abide by the decision
of the State Supreme Court as to the eligibility
of negroes to hold office in Georgia, aim when
the Court had declared the negroes eligible, he
failed to call the Legislature, or to give them an
opportunity to- comply with the decision.
He defeated, through his friends in the Leg
islature, the adoption of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, at a time when it was believed that its
adoption would have settled the Georgia ques
tion.
He has, with the aid of the military, grossly
and palpably violated the law of Congress of
December 22, 1869, and has thus finally suc
ceeded in acquiring control over the Legislature,
illegally organized.
But Gov. Bullock is not satisfied with his
present “fruitsofvictory;” hedemauds erf Con
gress a perpetuation of his rule, and to accom
plish this end speedily, he has commenced a
course of discipline among members of the Ee
publican party.
In Georgia,^ with the usurped power Of the
State government, backed by the military and
bia unscrupulous “ring,” whilst he maligns the
people and consumes the vitals of the State
under the pretence of loyalty and terrible sac
rifices for the Bepublican party, he has assailed
the character, and. to the extent of his means
destroyed the influence of every Republican
who, outraged or disgusted with his illegal and
corrupt course, has openly opposed his schemes.
And now, because some honorable members
of Congress of the Republican party have ob
tained a glimpse behind, the scene of his corrup
tions, and dare to say so, he holds them up in
his letter as repeaters of danders, sympathizers
with the rebels and Ku-Klux, making “investi
gation” with the vain hope that lies of interested
rebels may have some “foundation in fact,”
and he threaten^ Congress with the “responsi
bility for the utter destruction of Republicanism
in Georgia” if they should adopt the “Bingham
amendment, or any proviso substantially like it,”
because it would prevent him and the present
the whole State of the right to vote for repre
sentatives, and of perpetuating the Legislature
for two years beyond the time for which they
were elected, in violation of the State constitu
tion. - au«si«j yor
The constitution of Georgia, article 3, sec. 1,
par 2, says, “The-members of the Senate shall
be elected for four years, except that the mem
bers elected at the first eleetion from the twen
ty-two senatorial districts numbered in this con
stitution with odd numbers, shall only hold their
office for two years. The members of the House
of Representatives shall le elected for two years."
This is clear and absolute, and what follows
gives no authority to the Legislatnre to alter
the term of office. The “time” or day “of elee
tion” may be “changed,” and the members
“hold until their successors are elected and
qualified,” so that the “old members" would sit
in any entraordinary session, held before the re
gular term at which the new members are to be
qualified.
■ A most important question now presses itself
upon the public mind. Will not Congress vin
dicate its own dignity and the violated law of
December 22, 1869? Having undertaken by
that law to restore the expelled colored mem
bers to the Legislature, and to purge it of ineli
gible members, will they now sanction the illegal
violence and fraud by which eligible members
were expelled, and seventeen members seated
who were not elected?
Bat if past violations of tho laws cannot be
corrected, if the people of Georgia must, for
the time being, continue to be the prey of wick
ed rulers, then another important question is
presented. Will Congress by its action, either
directly or indirectly, sanotion the avowed pur
pose of Gov. Bullook to prevent an eleetion in
Georgia for members of the General Assembly,
on ^Tuesday after the first Monday in Novem
ber of this year,” as required by the Constitu
tion? Or will not Congress, knowing the pur
pose of Gov. Ballock, declare in plain torus,
that tho election shall be held as therein re
quired, and representative government main
tained?
In behalf of tho people of Georgia, I appeal
to Congress to secure to us the common rights
and liberties of American citizens, and tho com
mon rights of a State of the American Union.
It is now five years since the close of the war.
When the people of Georgia surrendered their
arms they also surrendered the cause of inde
pendent government for which they had con
tended. With hopes crushed, with property
destroyed, with the wail of tho widow and or
phan still ringing in their ears, they did not
play tho hypocrite and glory in their defeat, or
curse their dead comrades as traitors, but they
did surrender in good faith, they did pledge an
honest support to the Constitution and laws of
tho United States, and they have kept their
pledge. The great mass of tho peoplo have
been law-abiding, moral, industrious and earn
estly desirous of peace and a perfect restora
tion of the Union.
They appreciated the magnanimity of tho offi
cers and men to whom they surrendered, and
they relied on the promises of tho Government
and tho common interests of the country, to re
store them to their common rights, whilst thoy
would cheerfully bear the common burdens of
American citizens.
When tfib war was over, 83 a general rale,
the officers and soldiers and a large proportion
of tho citizens, on both sides, with the generos
ity which characterizes brave and true men,
recognized the settlement of a question which
had divided and agitated the country from tho
beginning of the Government, shook hands,
were again friends, and determined to work to
gether to allay prejudice, restore fraternal re
lations, and secure the union, peace and pros
perity of the whole country.
Why have the efforts of these patriotic men
been unavailing ? Why is peace delayed and
strife and enmity continued?
It is because there is another though small
class of men, who were generally skulkers in
the war, or speculators in the misfortunes of its
victims, who, when the war of arms had ended,
commenced their war of bombast and denunci
ation, of falsehood and plnnder, against indi
viduals and communities of men, women and
children. This war of these demons of peace,
these moral beasts and birds of prey, has been
continued five years, and has been little less
disastrous to the interests of the country than
the war of arms which preceded it.
To-day, after five years of nominal peace, by
the invitation and suggestion of Gov. Ballock,
the State of Georgia is ruled by a military des
potism under Gen. Terry, who suspends the
writ of habeas corpus, and removes and ap
points civil offioers at his will, in violation of
the Constitution and laws of the United States
and of the State of Georgia.
To day our petty tyrant, Gov. Ballock, is urg
ing and threatening members of Congress to
secure a perpetuation of his infamous rule
over the people of Georgia. From auoh a gov
ernment even military despotism is a relief, and
would be preferred by the people of Georgia,
until constitutional liberty can be restored.
Will not the Congress and tho people of the
United States open their eyes to the evils whioh
surround ns, and adopt the means necessary to
save ns and tho country from the abyss of
anarchy and despotism which we seem to be so
Iforer since the formation of the Constitution
has it been in greater peril, nor has there been
a time when it was more important for patriotio
members of Congress, and officers'and citizens
of all classes and parties and creeds, to unite
their efforts for its preservation. ...
The Constitution of government for the
United States was formed and established by
our fathers in a spirit of mutual concession and
forbearance and confidence, whlclTis necessary
to its integrity and continuance.' Its sacred and
ever-abiding purposes were—“to form a more
perfect union, establish justice,'insure domes
tic tranquility, provide for the common defence,
promote the general welfare and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and our pos
it we will hut earnestly put away the evils
and corruption, which, like a swelling tide,
threaten our destruction—if we will earnestly

The English Tragedy Near Uxbridge
—A Whole Family Butchered.
Prom the Daily Xcits, May 14lft.j
One of the most extraordinary tragedies
which has taken place for many years was dis-
coveied last evening at' the village of Den
ham, about two miles from Uxbridge. It
seems that a family named Marshall resided
at a cottage in that village, the husband car
rying on business as aja engineer. Besides
Marshall, there lived in the cottage his wife
and three children, wbo;e ages ran between
three and nine years, and also the mother and
sister of Marshall. This day (Tuesday) had
been fixed for the marriage of the sister, and
it is to the lact of her weddmg dress being
brought home that the discovery of the mur
der is to be attributed. Nothing had been
seen of the murdered persons since Saturday;
but upon a young girl going to the cottage
yesterday with the garment referred to, and
gaining no reply, the neighbors had their sus
picions aroused, and an entry was soon effected
into the house. A scene of the most horrible
descripiion presented itself On the ground
floor the bodies of Mrs. Marshall and her sis
ter-in law were found dead—the former lying
on her back, and the latter, who had her night
dress on, and was evidently preparing for bed,
was placed across her. Both had their-heads
fearfully mutilated, and the absence of blood
about the place was remarked by those who
who witnessed the dreadful discovery. At the
right hand, on entering the cottage^ and near
the fire-place, three children belonging to Mr.
Marshall were also found with their heads
frightfully battered, and also quite dead. The
mother of (Marshall was likewise found, hav
ing been brutally murdered in the same way;
and on entering the shop where Marshall had
been at work, wearing a smock-frock, his body
was also found. It was covered with sacks,
and it was apparent that he had had a des
perate struggle.
His hands were scratched in several places
and there were marks as if he had been drag
ged about the ground. His head had also
been beaten in the same manner as those of
the other victims. There was another child
belonging to Marshall—a little boy, aged six
teen months—who had been sent to his grand
father’s to be “out of the way” during the
wedding of Marshall’s sister; and hut for that
circumstance there is very small doubt that
the little creature would have been added to
to the list of the murdered members of the
family. Tho medical gentlemen called' were
Dm.'Ferris and Macnamara, and it is their
opinion that the awful deed has been perpe
trated as long since as Saturday night or Sun
day morning. The county constabulary have
been unable, up to the present time to obtain
any clue as to the murderer, or the cause of
the dreadfal crime. A forge hammer and an
ordinary ax—with which the murders are sup
posed to have been committed—have been dis
covered with traces of blood upon:them.
Whatever the motive by which the murderer
or murderers—for it seems difficult to imagine
the fearful work can have been done by one
person—robbery does not seem to have been
the object, for nothing appears to have been
disturbed; the rings ana several articles of jew
elry worn by the unfortunate persons not nav-
ingboen removed.
The excitement in the village is intense.
Marshall and his wife and aster were, it is
said, much respected by their neighbors.
