MACON, JANUARY 24, 1871.
Fat© of a Kn-Klnx Killing Expedi
tion.
Tho New York Sun of Monday contains a
long and circumstantial statement by one
Samuel Hoggett, about a military expedition to
South Carolina, for the purpose of killing cer
tain alleged Ku-klux leaders. Tho writer says
that about seven weeks ago a Col. Baker, on
the staff of Gov. Soott, appeared atthe “Chrya-
tal,” a drinking saloon in the Bowery, stating
that he wanted fifty men to act as special con
stables to go to the Union Gold Mines, about
fifty miles from Columbia, “to protect the ne
gro miners.” The men were to receive trans
portation, mileage, and three dollars per diem
for their servioes. About twenty-five men were
secured, of whom Hoggett names twenty-one,
including himself, and were shipped to Char
leston in the James Adger, on the 22d of last
November, and arrived in Columbia on the
2Gth, under the command of the Fenian Colonel,
Kerrigan. .
At Columbia each one was furnished with a
commission as deputy constable, (a copy of
which is given) badges and heavy Colt’s revolv
ers. They were lodged at Rose’s Hotel, and
were in frequent communication with Governor
Scott and Senator Crews and others, who said
they were in great peril from the Ku-Klnx, and
it was determined to wipe out the whole gang.
It was proposed to send one detaohment, con
sisting of John Barret, John Corcoran, John
O’Brien and Hoggett to Laurens, to kill Todd,
McClure and MoOurley, alleged Ku-KIux lead'
ers. Horses of speed and endurance were to
be furnished upon, which the mon could escape
o Columbia aftor the killing, and they were to
bo paid ten thousand dollars each and to bo
protected by tho State for the job; and if it
were well done CoL Kerrigan should have one
of tho best offices in the State.
In the meantime, the other party were to go
to Union in the samo way and kill David Gest,
Jasper Gibbs, ex-Sheriff Smith, the Sheriff in
cumbont, J. Rico Rogers, Blank Sumner and
Henry WeBt, all of Union, and to get ten thou
sand dollars apiece for the victims.
Hoggett says that the proposition struck
them with surprise, but they dared not openly
reject it. They wero then armed further with
"Winchester repeating rifles and started fox
Union by rail, and then joumied from Union to
tho mines, seventeen miles, by wagon. On the
way, they were joined by fifteen U. S. regulars
under Lieutenant Paul, and took up quarters in
two deserted log cabins. They remained at the
mines ten days and saw not a solitary sonl,
white or black. Nobody was at work at the
mines.
On the fourth day Col. Baker, who went with
them, left and returned to Columbia. On the
tenth day he returned with United States Mar
shal Wilson, with orders to convey the party
back to Columbia. In the meanwhile, the party
had been thrico fired upon by Ku-klux, at night,
but it seems without other result than to make
them uneasy. When they got back to Columbia
they were paid $2 00 per day, instead of three,
and ordered to leave the State at once under
penalty of arrest.
A week or two ago Gov. Scott and Crews were
in New York and met Kerrigan in the entranoe
of Niblo’s Garden. A quarrel followed in
which Kerrigan loudly denounced them, but
Crews begged to know what was wanted to set-
tlo up and keep the thing out of the papers.
The Sun says this statement is backed by the
sworn affidavits of five members of Hoggett’s
party, which are explicit, and assert much
more than Hoggett does. The reporter tried
to find Scott and Crews, but they had left the
city.
“No Significance.”—We note that whenever
a white man is killed in the South a telegram is
very apt to follow assuring the public that the
act has “no significance.” So also when gin
houses are fired—dwellings burned—rapes com
mitted, eta, none of these acts have “any po
litical significance.” But when, in consequence
of these acts some terrible violence follows, it
has extraordinary political significance indeed.
Probably very few of the acts of personal vio
lence which occur in the South arise directly
from political feuds. But personal quarrels
springing out of party politics, lead to some
violence and this brings on worse, so that the
orginal subject matter of misunderstanding
bears a very remote relation to the final catas
trophe. All violence and lawlessness havo a
dead significance as the germs of an evil crop.
Wrong breeds wrong with a baleful fecundity;
and there can be no act of violence in any com
munity which does not possess a miserable sig
nificance.
Macon Cotton Figures. —The receipts for
the cotton year up to the night of tho 18th in
stant, as shown by our tables yesterday, were
80,472 bales; shipped C4,984; stock on hand
Wednesday night 15,488.
Referring to last year we find the account thus
stated in our weekly Cotton Report of Wednes
day Evening, January IS, 1870: Receipts 64,-
285; shipped 46,167; stock on hand 17,718.
These figures show for Macon asfollowB: Ex
cess this year in receipts 16,167 bales, and on
shipments, 18,817. Deficiency in stockonhand,
2,230 bales. It should also be noted that we
are entitled to a credit of one day's operations
in this exhibit.
Tho Cotton Report for Columbus, night of
the 18th, is as follows: Receipts £5,923; ship
ments 42,757; stock on hand 13,166. The re
ceipts of Macon the last cotton year overran
eighty thousand bales. This year they will be
upwards of one hundred thousand.
The Amnesty Question.
The Washington correspondent of the Courier.
Journal telegraphs as follows under date of the
16 th instant:
Washington, January 16.—A debate in the
Sesate to-day indicated a disposition on the
part of the special committee having charge of
the subject to report at an early day on an am
nesty measure with but three or four restricted
classes. The House Reconstruction Committee,
at their meeting to-morrow, intend to take up
the question in a somewhat different but never
theless important form, by considering a bill
which Mr. Beck, of the committee, has prepared,
abolishing the test oath. It appears that quite a
large element in tho South, who are not disfran
chised by the Fourteenth amendment, are dis
qualified from holding office by this iron-clad
oath. Hundreds of yoong men who entered the
Confederate service under the age of'twenty-
one, and who have now grown into manhood,
aro debarred in a measure from political prefer
ment by this test oath. It has only been modi
fied heretofore in the cases of members of Con
gress, who had their disabilities removed, by
special act. Three of the four new Georgia
members, admitted to seals to-day, took this
qualified oath.. .
The Galaxy.—We have by mail from the
publishers, Messrs. Sheldon & Co., New Yoik,
the February number of this magazine. It is
one of the beet, if not the best we have ever
seen. It has an unusual variety of miscellane
ous articles, and also an article by Judgo Black,
addressed to Wilson, of Massachusetts, on the
subjoot of Stanton, which prints the infamy of
the latter in the strongest colors. It contains
also, another extract from the autobiography of
Thurlow Weed, giving an account of his inter
views with the late President Linooln at the
commencement of the war of secession, and the
opinions of Mr. Weed concerning certain per
sons selected by Mr. Lincoln as members of his
Cabinet

“Sonllicrn Outrages
The Senate, on Wednesday, went into fran-
tics over an ex parte showing by the President
and certain Radical functionaries of outrages
upon the freedmen in the Southern States. Tho
vice and injustice of such proceedings as these
is apparent upon tho slightest consideration.
1. Suppose, to illustrate the lawless condition
of New York State, for example, one should
string ont seriatim a'long catalogue of all the
horrid murders, buglaries, and other violences
committed in that State for the past three or
four years—how black and terrible would be
the exhibit! There is scarcely a mind sufficient
ly well balanced and philosophical to resist, on
that basis, a conclusion in reference to New
York which would be wholly unwarranted by her
existing social condition. Hence it is that all
Northern men coming South with minds pois
oned by these official exhibits of Southern
crime, circulated every year by tho Government,
are amazed to find as perfect order and quiet
here as they see at home. There is no com
munity on earth whioh can stand tho ordeal of
being judged by exceptional cases and events.
2. The citation is wholly cx parte. Only one
side of all the cases of violence is stated—all
circumstances of mitigation and exculpation
omitted, and no cases of violence on the other
side produced. An ex parte investigation and
report is itself necessarily and notoriously un
just or false. For illustration: if the majority
in Congress, under pretence of illustrating the
relative morals of political parties, were to bring
forward a naked catalogue of political malversa
tions by Democrats, and omit all mention of
Radical misdoings, it would bo a lie and an im
posture. So we say that the Presidential cata
logue in respect to affording anyreliable ground
for an impartial judgment upon the esndition
of the Southern people and the relative demerit
of the white and black residents, is nothing but
a lie and an imposture.
Now, we challenge these Northern Senators
to one simple test of their Southern crime cata
logues. Let them take any State of the North,
New York or Connecticut, for example; and
going over the criminal records for three years,
note the relative amount of crime committed in
that State by the white and the black popula
tions, according to their nnmbcra respectively
in those States. The result of the investigation,
we dare affirm, will astonish these champions of
tho blacks. They will see that a portion of their
population, insignificant in point of numbers,
has swollen the volume of crime out of all pro
portion, more than ten to one we dare say. And
yet these negroes of tho free States are affirmed
to be vastly superior in point of education and
morals to those of the South.
Now willSenatorspretend in the face of their
own investigations at home, that an immense
negro population constituting a moiety of our
people here, wholly unlettered, suddenly eman
cipated from every restraint they are accus
tomed to recognize'—a large portion of them
mere vagrants—will they pretend to set up that
in reason the Southern blacks do not commit a
vast amount of violence and crime, which must
inevitably provoke more or less violence in re
turn? "Will they pretend that their white out
rage catalogues, even if true as to the mere fact
of the violence, must not necessarily involve
many mitigating and explanatory circumstan
ces ? Will they dare set up that this outrage
test in faot affords the least reasonable basis of
a judgment upon the animus, purposes and
character of the great mass of the Southern
white people?
The whole of this outrage business in Con
gress i3 absolutely devoid of all foimoss and
justice. The alleged facta are gleaned ex parte
in a malevolent purpose towards the Southern
whites—brought before Congress in a. hostile
partisan spirit, and pressed on that body by a
class of political adventurers hailing from the
Sonth, bnt all of whose interests lie in tradueing
the Southern white population.

Sandersyille, Ga., January 19,1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The fol
lowing extract, taken from your paper of the
18th instant, in relation to the late outrage in
flicted upon the person of Major J. C. Gallaher,
does such gross injustice to certain gentlemen
of this place that we, as citizens of the county,
cannot forbear expressing the most profound
regret and astonishment at its publication:
“Maj. G. says he fully understands the animus
of those who instigate this cowardly and unjust
thirst for his blood, and that he is certain he
knows who two of Ins pursuers are. They are
the only two enemies he has in the oonnfy, and
the other parties engaged in the assault on the
night in question, are the mere hirelings of
these two enemies. He says also that the only
cause these two men have fox trying to kill
him, is the fact that he, (Gallaher) excoriated
one of them in a speech in a law suit in the
court house, and the other holds an office which
ho obtained by falso representations to the Gov
ernor, and is utterly incompetent to fill, and
Maj. Gallaher was taking steps to have him
ejected from the office. The Major says this
officer was an eye-witness to the assault made
upon him .by the disguised parties, and the offi
cer refused to command the peace, or to take
any steps whatever to release him from his as
sailants, when it was easily within his power to
have done so.”
We do not know the authors of the attempt
upon the life of Major Gallaher and while we
cordially" endorse the condemnation of the
deed so earnestly expressed by your local editor,
we feel it our duty to add that the statements
contained in the above are absolutely and
wholely without the slightest foundation.
The “official” to whom this extract refers is a
gentleman of high character and, it is unneoes
sary to say, was not connected with the affair
either remotely or otherwise. _ Neither was he
aware of the assault upon Major Gallaher un
til after.the latter had been carried out of town,
and then he derived the information only from
a citizen of the place. The whole story is a
base fabrication, we aro constrained to say, in
tended only to sabserve the private malignity
of an unprincipled man.
- In justice to the civil authorities we will add
that it was wholly beyond their power to ar
rest this demonstration against Major G. By
giving this card an early insertion in your
paper, you will not only oblige the undersigned
but all good citizens of the county.
Respectfully, etc.

Loo an and the Chief.—The Wabash Valley
Times, a Radical paper, is responsible for the
following. He had the story from a man who
was there and heard Logan tell it:
A short time ago a party of Congressmen
were conversing together in Washington, and a
prominent Western Democrat inquired of Lo
gan, “Well, General, have you called at the
White Houso since your arrival ?”
To which the would-be Senator replied in his
characteristic language:
“Yes; and by G-d don’t yon think they ‘mis
tered’ me np there.”
“Why, how was that?”
“They don’t know me np there any more.—
Even the black, thief who opened the door, and
who has known me for ten years, inquired,
‘What’s the name sir ?’ That was done by or
ders, for he has announced me scores of times
before, and never required my name. And
when I saw the President, he extended his hand
with “How do you do, ‘Mr.’ Logan? Judge
Dent was there, and he called me ‘Mr.’ Logan;
and that lacquey, General Dent, called me ‘Mr.’
Logan. But d—n them, I snubbed them as
well. . I responded, “Quite well, I thank you,
‘Mr.’Grant; glad to see yon, ‘Mr.’Dent; and
I ‘mistered’ everybody about the plaoe, includ
ing the whole Dent family.”
Logan is a contestant for the Presidential
nomination in 1872, whioh accounts for the milk
in the cocoanut.
Greeley Skins Porter.
The New York Tribune, of the 14th says:
The Senate of the United States has confirm
ed David D. Porter as Admiral of the Navy.
We now know precisely what qualities they are
which, in the opinion of our patrician lawgivers,
entitle men to the highest position in the State.
The young men of the country are to be vain
and libelous and captions and servile—to abuse
their comrades behind their backs and fawn
upon them before their faces—to use the curr
ish wit of Diogones against their equals, and
copy the abasement of an Odalisque before her
master when a President frowns. Now let the
Senate change the Admiral’s uniform to one
embracing a lackey’s shoulder knot and yellnw-
plnsh breeches, to indicate faintly that inward
servility that passeth show. And let General
Grant bo on his guard against the unsated ma
lice of the man he has humiliated by a public
pardon, and to whom' the Senate has given the
opportunity to exercise his mean malignity upon
those officers of the navy who still preserve a
little self-respect. .

Washington, January 19.—The Tribune says
the Senate yesterday devoted nearly the whole

some remarkable statements not wholly new,

Southern Senators. The propriety of making
this investigation seem3 unquestioned, but there
is great danger that it may lead to some new
measure of reconstruction of which we have had
quite enough to demoralize the most sober and
staid society in the country. We cannot bnt
believe that the source of half the trouble in
the South is the mistaken legislation which has
given privileges to one class that are denied to
others, and thus arrayed one party in violent
hostility against another. We trust that inves
tigation of the outrages will convince Congress
of the folly of continuing political distinctions
provocative of bitter and relentless hostility.

Charleston, January 19.—The News of to
day publishes a letter from Gov. Scott, pro
nouncing tho allegations of Hoggett, Kerrigan,
and others, in the New York Son, that they had
been offered bribes by him to assassinate cer

false. -The Governor’s letter is corroborated
by statements of officials, who were present at
his interview with Hoggett, Kerrigan, and their
companions.
New Orleans, January 19.—Three boats de
parted for Red River yesterday, and three to
day-all with good cargoes. The impetus was
given by concert of action on the part of mer

A dispatch from Versailles states that the fire on
Paris still continues. A part of a siege train
fromMcziers was plaoedon the batteries of
Mont Morensy, and .has done considerable
damage to public buildings within range. All
the women and children in St. Denis Quarter
left the city on Sunday, as it was known that
the enemy threatens to destroy that portion of
the city. The effect of Trochu’s proclamation
was very manifest. The excitement consequent
on the belief that'there was treason with the

To Rains B. Bollock, Acting Gover-
*■ nor ol" Georgia.
Sir—In a letter of yours, published a few
days ago in reply to “a prominent Democrat,’"
who had “done you the honor” to ask your opin
ion as to what ought to be done about the recent
Democratic victory in this State, your habit of
misrepresenting the people and affairs of Geor
gia, breaks forth upon me (in common with
General Toombs and the whole 5 th Congressional
District) in such calumnious charges, as justify
me in exposing both the calumny and the cun
ning purpose it was intended to serve.
"While graciously conceding the general fair
ness . and validity of the election in all other
parts of the State, you make a special exception
of the 5th Congressional Distriot.. You say that
in that Distriot “a distinguished secession lead
er, and a learned attorney, have made a law
unto themselves, and, either through fear of,
Or affection for these leaders, the white citizens
generally have followed their advice, and have
set aside at defiance the laws of the State which
were constitutionally enacted, and are of force
until constitutionally declared void.”
Again; you speak of the election In the 5th
District as a case “where a whole District set
the law at defiance, and under the advice of
leading public men nullified the whole system
provided by law for holding the election, over
awed, arrested and confined the legally consti
tuted managers, and placed others of their own
unauthorized appointment in their stead.” And
yet, again; you characterize the conduct of the
whole 5th District as an “insurrection and usur
pation.”
Now all this obviously alludes to - nothing but
the legal prosecution of the managers of elec
tion in tho single county of Hancock, and the
general adoption of the advice given in an ad
dress, which was submitted to the people of
Georgia just before the election, signed by
Gen. Toombs and myself; and (as it appeared
in the Ohroniole and Sentinel) signed also by
Gen. Wright, Chairman of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee of the Fifth Congressional
District You will not pretend to deny that
these are the sole facts on which you have based
your charges. The material question then is,-
what are thesb facts ? What is tho character of
that advice which was generally followed in
cases where there Was occasion for its applica
tion? What were the grounds on which, and
the mode in which, the arrest and commitment
of the managers in Hancock county were ac
complished ? The address speaks for itself. A
candid perusal of it will utterly refute every
thing which yon have said of its character, and
brand you as a calumniator, I challenge you to
point out.any part of it which advises “insur
rection” or “usurpation” or the setting aside
of any law “constitutionally enacted,” or any
part which makes for its authors a law “unto
themselves.” On the contrary, I affirm that it
was, from beginning to end, in letter and in
spirit, an earnest appeal to the people to invoke
and sustain the Constitution and the laws, not
indeed as they had been declared by you and
your Legislature, but as they should be ex
pounded and administered by the Courts. The
address does indeed demonstrate by argument
that a certain declaratory act of the Legislature,
pronouncing the poll tax for the years 1868,
1869 and 1870, to be illegal, is false, unconsti
tutional, null and void; and that certain parts
of the Akerman election act, requiring managers
of election to allow certain classes of persons to
vote who do not possess the qualifications pre
scribed for voters by the Constitntion, are also
unconstitutional, null and void.
This opinion, so far as the Akerman act is
concerned, is manifestly held by yonr own At
torney General, Mr. Farrow, a very prominent
member of your own branch of the Republican
party; for he, notwithstanding these provisions
of tho Akerman act, said in his published
opinion that the managers had a right, before
receiving the ballot of any suspected illegal
voter, to require him to take an oath that he
had all the qualifications prescribed for voters
by the Constitution, It haB also been stated in
the Atlanta Constitntion newspaper, “by au
thority,” that ex-Govemor. Brown, then Chief
Justice of the State, another most prominent
member of yonr party, held the same opinion.
Will yon include Chief Justice Brown and Mr.
Attorney General Farrow in yonr charges of
“insurrection,” “usurpation,” the setting aside
of “laws constitutionally enacted,” and “mak
ing a law onto themselves ?” You ought to do
so, or else withdraw these grave charges from
the 5th Congressional Distriot and from Gen.
Toombs and myself. You ought not to refuse
this justice even to the “distinguished secession
leader,” Gen. Toombs; for when, at some haz
ard to yourself, sir, you shift the question from
matter of evidence to matter of character, as is
sometimes done in desperate criminal eases,
the parallel between him and these, your con
federates, is no less complete in their secession
antecedents than I have shown it to be in their
opinions of some of yonr “laws constitutionally
enacted.'’ I know it is a fashion with yon and
yonr party (with occasional exceptions) to give
the name and force of “laws” to all aots of
Congress, and all acts of State Legislatures pas
sed to advance yonr partisan objeota, although
such acts may be in plain violation or avowedly
“outside” of the Constitution from which the
legislative body derives all its powers. Bata
very different view of the matter is taken, not
only by the address in question bnt by the people
of Hancock, the people of the 5th Congressional
District, and the people of Georgia; bnt also
by other States which hare spoken in recent
elections at the North and at the Sonth, and I
firmly believe by the great mass of the people
of the United States. The common creed of
all Americans who prefer constitutional govern
ment to the despotism of usurpers, is that nets
of the legislative body in violation or “out
side” of the Constitution, from which it derives
its powers, are not “laws” but usurpations;
and that the men who enact them, and the
men, and tribunals, and executives who uphold
and enforce them with knowledge of their want
-of constitutional authority, are traitors to the
cause ofpuhlie liberty.
' When you accuse me of opposing usurpations
like these, and appealing to the oourta for their
suppression, do you not perceive that you do
but bold me up as the defender of the Constitu
tion and the laws, and show that it is you who
are the advocate of “usurpation,” and that it is
you who truly have “made a law unto yeurself ?"
You shall nbt be allowed to ignore the fact that
the specific advice given by the address was
that these unconstitutional acts should beset
aside, not by lawless violence, but by judicial
punishment of the criminals who might take!
refuge under them.
This brings me to the prosecution of the
managers of election in Hanoock. They exclu
ded a man from voting who was of full age, was
a resident of the county, and had not previously
voted in that election ; and who was, therefore,
by the express terms of the Akerman act, not
to bo excluded. They unanimously excluded
him on the ground that he wasanadmitted con
victed felon; thus holding that the Akerman
act conflicted with the Constitution in this case;
and, to the extent of this confliot, was void.
Yet after this, three of them (constituting a
majority) received the votes of several persons
who confessedly had not paid their poll tax for
the year next preceding the election, as required
by the Constitution. After the arrest of several
of these illegal voters, under warrants judicious
ly issued, the three managers were also ar
rested by judioial warranto charging them, un
der the laws of the State, as principals iu the
second degree, with the crime of illegal and
felonious voting, being present, aiding and
abetting the commission of the crime. They
placed their defense, on their oath, under the
Akerman aot, requiring them to receive tho
votes Of all persons who were of full age, were
residents of the county, and had not previously
voted in that election; and also on the afore
said declaratory act of the Legislature, pro
nouncing sentence of illegality and nullity upon
the poll tax.
The Judge, after hearing the argument on
both sides, adjudged the oath as construed, by
the accused to be in conflict with the Constitu
tion, just, as they themselves had held it to be
in their previous exclusion of the felon; and he
also adjudged the aforesaid declaratory aot,~as
to the poll tax, to be false, unconstitutional and
void. He over-ruled the defense as a bad law,
and committed the accused to jail with privilege
of bail. Tho Judge, James Clarence Simmons,
who issued the warrant and passed the judg
ment of commitment, was one of your own ap
pointment. The source from which he received
bis appointment is stated as a fact, and not at
all to his discredit; for his heroio maintenance
of judicial integrity on this occasion, his name
deserves a high plr.oe on the roll of the defender
of Constitutional Liberty. The three managers
—headed by Judge Gonder, a man of marked
ability and undoubted courage, and being with
in sight of the United States soldiers, sent there
under pretense of executing the Enforcement
Aot of Congress—quietly submit ted to the judg
ment of the court, and declining to offer bail
went to jail; not becanse they were “overawed,’
but because they were only duly awed by the
power of truth, and the majesty of law as ad
ministered by a judioial tribunal. If yon deny
the validity of Georgia laws as expounded and
applied by the proper tribunal,.will you not at
least admit, that these three managers were
guilty under the famous Enforcement Aot of
Congress, which you claim as “law,” and which,
in its 19th section, provides a penalty of three
years imprisoment and $500 fine, for those who,
in any Congressional election shall knowingly
and willfully receive the vote of any person notr
entitled to vote under the laws of his State.—
You will make this admission unless you have
the hardihood to deny that the Constitntion of
the State is a higher law than acts of the Legis
lature. After the three managers had bein
committed to jail, the other two declined to
aot; and a new board was organized, and pro
ceeded to hold the election de novo, not under a
“law made unto themselves,” but under the
Code of the State, providing that an election
may be held by as many as three freeholders, if,
after ten o’clock a. m., the managers designated
by law, shall fail to act. This is the true history
of the election in Hancock. It is a record of
which her people are justly proud. The only
violation ot law was on the part of the first
managers, and was corrected by judicial inter
position at the instance of Democrats. These
are the facts, showing how utterly unfounded
are all your charges. Bat there are still other
facto whioh show these charges to be not only
unfounded, bnt absolutely preposterous. How
could the laws have been set aside, and a reign
of- “insurrection and usurpation” introduced
either in the Fifth Distriot, or anywhere else
by Democrats ? Under the infamous Akerman
act, three out of the five managers at every
polling place were appointed by you, and the
other two had to be confirmed by the Senate,
of whom a majority were yonr partisans, and
some were the creatures of a joint manipulation
between you and General Terry. These five
managers, thus appointed, were clothed with
most extraordinary powera over the liberty of
the citizen, and supplied with United States
soldiers to execute their orders in most, if not
absolutely all counties of the State, certainly
all.of the Fifth District. Intimidation, usur
pation, and lawlessness of allkihds, were, under
this machinery, almost impossible to Demo
crats ; and that they were not practiced by
Democrats in the Fifth District isplainly proven
by the fact that your managers made no call
for the interference of the military at any place
in that District. Gan just-thinking people al
low you to escape from the weight of these
crushing facts ?
And now allow me to ask you, even if the
conduot of Hancock county had been such as
you represented it, howisitthatyouscektohold
the election in a whole Congressional District
to be invalidated by the "action of a single
county,-whose entire vote could not possibly
change the result? If the entire election in
Hancock were set aside; nay, if the highest vote
ever cast by the county in any previous eleo-
tion were counted as an entirety in favor of your
party, the Democratic candidates, Corker and
DuBose would still be elected by over three
thousand majority! . •
How is it, also, that even if the address were
of the character which you have ascribed it,
you seek to fasten all its sins upon a single dis
trict when it was made to the whole people of
Georgia, and its advice was followed to a less or
greater extent in all sections and a'l districts of
the State ? The pnblio will be curious to know
the motive tot the concentration of your entire
attack upon one district, when all the districts
stand substantially upon the Bame footing.
Your gracious exemption of the other districts
is as insidious and canning as yonr charges
against the 5th are false and calumnious. “ jfi"-
meo JDanaos et dona ferentes." When you
grow gracious let Democrats beware 11 There
being no just ground for discrimination among
the Congressional Districts of the State, was
impunity for all the others the price with which
you hoped to buy their co-operation, or, at least,
their silence in yonr crusade against the 5;h?
Did you have still farther hopes that your pat
ronizing kindness might not only cause the m to
tolerate a foul outrage upon their brethren of the
5th, but might also seduce them into a repudia
tion of the principles emblazoned on the banner
under which our common, splendid victory
has been won? If so, you are mistaken. Vic
tory is the signal, not for retreat, but for re
newed onsets, each still more vigorous than the
last, until the foroes of usurpation shall be
driven from their last refuge. Under the in
spiring influence of success, true men will be-
oome as bold as they are true. This banner,
hoisted at Atlanta last August, pledging the
Democratic party of Georgia to the principles
of the Democratic party of the Union, whose
last utterance was at New York in 1868, de
nouncing the whole reconstruction scheme of
Congress as revolutionary, unconstitutional,
null and void, was hailed with enthusiasm
when it was first thrown to the breeze. Yon
may rest assured that it loses nothing in the
affections of Democrats all over the Union,
when it is now seen floating triumphant in vic
tory, least tattered where U was borne boldest
and hdd highest in the conflict.

Republicanism a Failure at the South—No
More Reconstruction Needed.—The reply
which the President sent to the Senate yester
day to Senator Morton’s resolution, with regard
to the condition of affairs in the Southern
States, has made but little impression upon the
Senate. With the exception of « few extreme
Radicals, who are anxious to perpetuate the
power of the Republican party in the South,
there is no disposition to meddle with affairs in
that section. Anything like a fresh attempt at
reconstruction would, it is thought, react upon
the Administration and make it obnoxious be
fore the people. The majority of Congressmen
are disposed to let the South alone, believing it
is better to do this than to interfere with affairs
which belong exclusively to the several States.
Notwithstanding, an effort will probably be
made to make some capital out of the fact set
forth in the President's reply to Morton’s reso
lution. But the ablest politicians in the Re
publican party concede mat the South will be
iopelessly Democratic by the time the next
Presidential election is held. It is to avert this
catastrophe that the_extreme Radicals would
attempt a new reconstruction.— Washington

The Georgia Senatorial Muddle.—The Ju
diciary Committee of the Senate had another
session to-day on the case of the Georgia Sena
tors. The deeper the committee gets in its in
vestigations the more mixed the case becomes.
It is difficult now to tell which of the several
braces of Senators claiming seats from Georgia
were elected legally, or whether they were elect
ed at 'alL One of the applicants, Foster Blod
gett, is accused of securing his election by any
thing bnt honorable means, and, after bis elec
tion, of securing the passage of a law, the effect
of whioh is to prevent the Legislature chosen
last fall from eleoting a Senator, and to make
him Senator for six years from the 4th of March
next. - Blodgett is one of the Bullock faction,
and there is evidence before the committee to
show that he played the little game with the
connivance of the Governor.— Washington Tel

Dr. SCIIKXCIt advises Consumptives to {•
to Florida in Winter.
Raving, for the last thirty-five years, devottd aj
whole titno and attention to the study of Inns dittua
and consumption, I feel that I understand fully the
course that ought to be pursued to restore a toierablj
bad case of diseased lungs to healthy foundries!. The
first and most important step ia for the Daunt to
avoid taking cold, and the best of all place? on tic
continent for this purpoie in winter, is Florida, wt'J
down in tho State, where the temperature ia regular,
and not subject to such variations as in more hortb
e n latitude;. Palatkaisa point I can recommend.
A good hotel is kept there by Peterman. Last wirier
I saw several persons taere whose lurgs had tea
badly diseased, but who. under the healirc hum
of the climate and my medicines, were getting well.

a decided preference to Mellonviiie. It is twonuu
from river or lake, and it seems almost impouiKtU
take cold there. The tables in Florida mightiest;
ter, end patients complain at times, but that it now

is the case they generally increase in flesh, and then
tho lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernin. Green Cove, acd -i'l
other places in various parts of Florida, esn be e»ie-
ly recommended to consumptives in winter. Ml
reasons for sayingso are that patients are less liable
to take cold there than where there ri a less era
temperature, and it ia not necessary to say tea:
where a consumptive person exposes himself to fre
quent colds he is certain to .die shortly. Therefore,
my advice is, go well down into the State out olLi
reach of prevailing east winds and fogs.. Jackson
ville, or almost any other of the localities I hjn
named, will benefit those who are troubled who 1

In Florida, nearly everybody is using fccnenai
Mandrake Pills, for the climate is more likely “

.tis a well established fact that natives oi Font*
