was a bloody corpse before night from no cause
which would have evoked a harsh word hadpar-
Hea been sober j and just aboutthe same num
ber laid the foundation for life long misery in
taking life without substantial reason. Pour
times as many were made wretched by these
events, and a fortune thrown away in cost of
trial and legal decision npon toesocases of man-
daughter and assault.
In few or none of these cases, had not the
parties carried arms about their persons, would
there probably have been any disturbance worth
legal inquiry. But now it has oome to this—
half the young white men, and nine-tenths of
tiiA negroes, are in the daily habit of making
themselves wsOdog armories, and if any of
them happen to get whisky on the brain, the
question of shooting somebody before they sleep
it off, hangs on the chapter of accidents and op
portunities. It is a most miserable condition
of affairs, and whatever there is of virtuous in
dignation in Georgia ought to be evoked to put
a stop to the practice. The whole machinery
of the law should at once be energized to sup
press the carrying of secret arms. Committing
magistrates, officers of the peaoe, mayors and
citizens, should all aid in suppressing this vile
praotioe, by complaints to the grand juries;
and it should be pursued until rooted out.

surveying it calmly, and finding the details of

‘Sadwto tuis'bses fiHedrthe offioe of- President

It is upon Uto theme, so dear to the people of
the'Bnited States for many years, so sacred by
the indorsements of Jefferson, Clay,-Jaekson
and other sages of the republic so necessary
□owtmder the fearful increase of Presidential
powenr will the next campaign be fought. That
will be the inspiring impulse over which the
ground-swell of popular sentiment will heave,
while the actual demolition of the personal po-
sition of our speculating President, will be ef-
feotad bv the keen blades of tho reform Kepub-
licans, who already stand victors over the cow
ering leaders of the administration. And this
plan of the campaign will as certainly succeed
as truth and justice are certain to succeed when
championed by the people against fraud and
error. In the first place, the adoption of the
one-term principle is the necessary initiative
to any plan of civil service reform, for that re
form cannot begin until the corrupting motive
of the President, to pat all sorts of men in
office who will serve his re-election, is disposed
of by the soots.
In the next place, the people are not only in
favor of civil service reform, bnt universally in
favor of the one-toxm principle, and opportuni
ties will soon be afforded to them to ex
press this preference, which will practically
render General Grant ineligible. The Demo
cratic party will, as we have reason to believe
adopt this principle en masse. It was the fav
orite doctrine of Jaekson, as it was of Jeffer
son; and even the most stubborn of its leaders
are trilling to admit that they can stand with
advantage a little more of Jackson and Jeffer
son in their modem platform. One term waa
also the favorite principle of Henry day, and
it waa likewise the sole campaign . text npon
which General Harrison was elected. .,

COLOBED IlABOS AHD THE COTTOK CbOP.—
The Louisville Badger explains the favorite
theory that the cotton-growing States owe their
great wealth to colored labor, and these are the
sole producers of king cotton, and but for their
labor these States would be a poverty-stricken
country. Analyzing the figures of the late cen
sus, and deducting first the colored population
of the non-cotton produolng States, next the
colored populations of cities and towns who are
not engaged in cotton production, and third, the
colored labor employed in the production of
sugar and rice, the Ledger finds that the total
colored popnlation whOee support is to be cred
ited to cotton culture^ numbers 1,800,000. Of
thcse, it is well fcnCwn that the women and
children are no-longer field laborers as in the
days of slavery. The Ledger estimates the

Bower asd DeLasob.—Bowen is in Washing

South iaordlto' Is to open as soon as Congress
convenes. It is impossible to take sides in that
fight. DeLarge, to the extent of his abilities,
is as bad as Bowen. He is literally “a misera
ble nigger.” Bowen’s papers are before the
oommittee,but those of DeLarge are not; the at
torney of the latter declines to file them because
DeLarge has failed to pay the expenses attend
ing the taking of the testimony, amounting to
$1,600. This attorney says DeLarge has no
prospect whatever for a retention of the seat
now held by him, but that Bowen was oleariy,
elected by the people of iris Congressional Dis

This measure, though vetoed by Mr. Conley,
«a*nevertbeleB* passed , by » constitutional
majority over the veto, and is now ihe law of
the tnu^, and however it may be treated by
law-breakers, will receive from all good citizens
that respect and obedience duo to the law. We
hope, under the circumstances attending the
passage of this bill, that the acting Governor,
having already contested the matter with the
General Assembly and been defeated in a con
stitutional mode, will make no farther contest
when the result of the election is announced,
but will surrender the office of Governor to him
Whom tire people have selected to hold it.
M Mr. Conley will observe the oath which
was administered to him when he enteredupon
the duties of the Executive office, he.will sur-
fenderthe office. If he is a law-abiding citizen,
: desiring the welfare ofthe Stato, and that “law
and order” may reign supreme, he will inter-
ahead of the times.
