The print*, and especially the
New York Tribune, are terribly acandal-
Ized because the former Union soldiers
who are Democrats think they too hare
the r^fct a ta. the «Great Army of the
Republic” to form an association of their
own. Eirery one knows that "Army of
the Republic” has been one of the most
potent ensines of the present adminis
tration. It was eonoeired for the pur
pose of keeping alive the antagonisms
of the war and solidifying and perpetr
ating Radical power. But at length the
honest men of the North who, also in
obedience to the.cal) of their Skates and
section, after resisting the fanatical Ab
olitionists to'the~last, took-np arms
against the Confederacy, have found out
how badly they hare been sold. Under
the guise of what they believed to be
simply soldierly comity, they have been
led inadvertently to aid in building up
the eauso of Radicalism, and reopening
the wounds of a confliot after the surren
der in good faith of their opponents.
Henoe the formation of the organi
sation known as “The Boys in Blue,”
whioh is composed of the Democratic
Federal soldiery engaged in the late war.
They are determined to strip their politi
cal foes of the prestige of their names
and prowess in the unholy work they
have undertaken of destroying the Con'
Btitution, and inaugurating anarchy and
bloodshed. The late tremendous uprising
of the new society at Indianapolis shows
how ardently in earnest they are. But
the movement carries terror to the hearts
of the Radicals and completely demol
ishes their war thunder. No wonder,
therefore, that the Tribune is down upon
all oonnected with it. It intimates in the
broadest terms that the "Boys in Blue”
are in the main composed of army " de
serters,” "bounty jumpers,” “shoulder
hitters,” "penitentiary convicts,” and
asn of that ilk, and that they have only
gene to Indiana to slay there and vote
with the Democrats.
A guilty conscience needs no accuser,
and the very charge indicates what has
been the prevailing tactics of the Grant-
ites up to the present time. But the
gallant army of tbo "Boys in Blae,” now
fighting for pacification and fraternity,
and headed by a brilliant array of their
former most illustrious leaders in the
field, will scout and scorn the Tribunes
slanders, and take vengeance upon it by
redonbled exertions in behalf of Tilden,
reform and free government. In short,
it begins to be cheerfully demonstrated
that the fanatical hate and injustice of
Northern Radicals against the South,
will soon be powerless to do barm, in the
light of truth and the sober logic of facts.
The honsjt people of that section have
sounded the depths’of the corruption and
usurpation of the party in power, and are
rising in their might to overthrow it.
Beam of Mr. H. S. Smith, Sr.
We regret to learn tho death, last Sun
day morning at Rome, of this gentleman,
so well known and highly esteemed in
social and commercial circles during his
long residente in Georgia. He was a
native of Putnam county, we believe, and
did business there many years, after
wards removing to Columbss, where he
was long one of the most prominent
business men of the place, ne after
wards becamo a citizen of Mobile, and
resided there until after the close ef the
late civil war, standing there, at here, in
the -very front rank of its most honored,
influential and successful citisens. He
was the father of Mrs. William H. Ross,
of this city, who was with him when he
died. Ho was seventjM&^g'gftie full

The culmination of Radical
Oppression.
The following simple lines without
comment or expostulation, clipped from
the Shaxleston Nines and Courier, ought to
he sufficient to fire the national heart and
create a general uprising against the des
potic thieves who run the Federal Gov
ernment and are the backers, of the
usurping Governor of South Carolina!
Packiko Up.—All the hoys ■wewrbusy
yesterday packing up their old clothes,
uniforms, photographs, rifles and things,
to send to Governor* Chamberlain. An
extra freight train has been charteaed
and will leave to-day to carry the duds
to Columbia.
Here we have the spectacle in the
midst of a profound peace, broken only
by the occasional rapes, gin-housh burn
ings and insolence-of the dominant fac
tion who control the government of the
State, of a gallant people, largely in the
minority, being forpilly^ deprived of the
oily means they possess to protect them
selves against midnight incendiarism
and assassins. And this, too, in the
very teeth of the constitution which de
clares that "a well regulated militia be
ing necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of the people to keep
and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
On this clause Judge Story thus com
ments:
The right of the people tor keep and
bear arms-bas justly been considered as
the palladium - of the liberties of a Re*
public, since it offers a Atong moral
check against the usurpation and arbi
trary power of rulers, and will generally,
even if they are successful in the first
instance, enable the people to resist and
triumph over them.
Article I, section 1, of the Constitu
tion of South Carolina, also adds that
"All men are * • endowed with cer-
"tain inalieniable-rights, among which
"are the rights of enjoying anddefend-
“ing their fives and liberties, of acquir-
“ing, possessing andprotecling property,
"and of seeking and obtaining their safe-
"ty and happiness.” Section 28 declares,
"Thepeople have a right to keep and bear
"arms for tho common defence.” Sec
tion 14 declares, “No person shall be de
spoiled of bis property, immunities
"privileges."
And yet this carpet-bag Governor,
imported nuisance, witbont sympathy
affinity for the white people of the com-
monwealth, dares thus to trample upon
tho rights and libert 5 - - < f the descend
ants of Marion, Sum - r and Rutledge.
Arms, uniforms, acouirements—every
thing appertaining to the militia, are or
dered to bo taken possession of, and
forcibly removed by special railway trains
to Columbia.
But does any one suppose this arbitrary
act will intimidate and put down such
men os Wade Hampton and his noblo fol
lowers, in this crusade for liberty, life and
property? On tho contrary, in the
abounding sympathy of every true pa
triot in tho nation, will they receive new
increments of strength, and resolve, with
the help of tho intelligent and loyal
blacks, to shake off at the ballot box this
intolerable thraldom imposed by thieves
and bayonets.
May wo not reasonably expect, also,
that such gratuitous tyranny will
strengthen beyond computation the
hands of Governor Tilden and Mr. Hen
dricks all over the Union. God forbid
that American freemen should have fallen
so low as to submit to be deprived of
that dearest of all other privileges—tho
right to bear arms for tho protection of
their homes and firesides.
WfJmpb of a Christian’s faith. After a
long, honored and useful life here ho
rests from his labors in the bosom of the
Master. Peace to his ashes!

“ In a Baa Fix.”
Tho foreign news to-day shows two
eg in a bad fix. One of these is
btar Pasha and his army, with his
turned—his position reversed—cut
iff from reinforcements and ref age, and
.iled by those terrible Montenegrins,
ho will doubtless make bash of his
iy. He is in a bad fix.
Tho other party is his master—the
rand Turk himself—surrendered by the
ve powers, who are compelling him to
ow their bitter and humiliating bo-
a on bis knees at tbo sword’s point. If
e could have any sympathy for aGiand

o remember the massacres, and rejoice
must be confessed, however, that if he
ere anything else than a Grand Turk
is combination of tho five powers to
ake him eat dirt—suo for mercy from
rebellious and defeated subjects, and
ward them with largesses and privileges
r being defeated in the effort to defy his
toority, would bo considered very hard
«—very unfair.
The Grand Turk deeply feels that he
in a bod fix, and his remonstrance with
a powers is piteous. Ho tits off the
uare facts in the case when he tells the
-ere, hypothetically, "that they only
sh to delay, not prevent, his destine

few to strugglo now, at tho risk of
isbing, rather than resign himself to
•lower but inevitable death. The
4 Turk well knows that the powers
not kill him only because they dread
parrel about dividing his carcass. The
id Turk is in a bad fix.

Revival ol Trade.
Courier-Journal..!
JTheNew York Times and other Hayes
orgaas have been talking about a revival
of trade in some of the trade centres,
and throwing out suggestions that the
fact may bo attributed to the increased
confidence of the people in the election
of Hayes. A New York traveling sales
man, connected with ono of the largest
houses of that city, throws some light
on the source of the increased fall trade
of New York as follows:
" It is in tho Democratic States of the
South that the great impetus to trade
has been given. There is little trade
from any other section in this city this
fall. It is toward the trade of that sec
tion that the great jobbers of this city
are turning their attention, and but for
this prosperity in the Democratic States
of the South thousands of salesmen, por
ters and. other employes would be with*
out employment. ’’
There is xo doubt of the truth of this
statement. Every Southern State which
has extricated itself from the deadly em.
brace of the plunderers, backed by the
prospective and malicious Republican
eaders at Washington, has renewed
trade relations with the North. Under
the principles of Grantiam to which
Hayes has enthusiastically pledged him
self there wilt be a renewal of the once
successful efforts to pauperize every
Southern State. The Republicans hare
shown in their foul domination of sixteen
years that they are indifferent to tho
prosperity of tao whole country, for the
experience of the ages has proven that
the destruction of tho vitality of ono-
half of a country, thenrospsrity of every
portion of which is dependent upon, the
soundness of the whole, is national sui
cide. The business men of this country
want trade. It is not to their interest
that a corrupt political party should bo
given farther opportunity to dry up the
sources ef profitable trade.

The Flections.
At 11 o’clock a. m. yesterday the fol
lowing telegram was received at this of
fice from the Secretary of the Democratic
Executive Committee of Georgia, in At
lanta: •. V-VfVpjSfnjEI;
"Atlanta, Ga , October 11.
" Telegraph and Messenger ; J. G.
Thompson, Chairman of the Executive
Committee of Ohio, telegraphs tho Con
stitution that the Democrats haTO carried
Ohio.
“The Chairman of tho Democratic
Ezecutivo Committee of Indiana tele*
graphs that Indiana has gone Democratio
by five thonssnd.”
Later reports by the press dispatches,
however, represent Uri Thompson as ad
mitting that Ohio haiTgdtfe Radical by
7.000 votes. The last claim is 5,000.
On,'the whole, the elections have sus
tained our conclusions. Indiana and
T^est Virginia have gone for the Demo
crats, and the Radicals have saved Ohio
hythe sldn of r their tee.th. The result
demonstrates the possibility—the practi
cability of the election of Tilden and
Hendricks in November. They are a
damper to the Radicals, and will stimulate
and enthuse the friends of Tilden and
Reform to the highest pitch. With the
Southern vote/lees South Carolina and
Louisiana (both of which, we shall proba
bly carry)/ and the electoral votes of
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, In
diana and Oregon, Tilden would have six
majority in the colleges—191 out of 370
votes—giving^him the chances for more
which might arise in Lonisiana, South
Carolina, California, Wisconsin, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Speckled Trout,
Atlanta Constitution.)
We were shown yesterday by a gentle
mah just from Porter Springs.a specimen
of the gennino New England brook trsnt,
or as it is generally called the speckled
tront, which abound in the mountain
brooks in the vicinity of Porter Springs,
Lumpkin connty, in this State. It is
perhaps the most beautiful fish found in
American watere, and though common in
the brooks of Now England, is rarely
found in tbe Sontb. There are a few
points in the mountains of Virginia and
North Carolina sf great altitude where
they are found. They are the only kind
of fish found in the mountain brooks in
the vicinity of Porter Springs, and they
exist there in great numbers.
Those springs are near the top of the
Blue Ridge, on a spar called Cedar
mountain, in a beautiful cove, at an ele
vation of abont three thousand feet, and
itiB just over the crest of the mountain
from the spring that these beautiful
trout are caught. They are not fonnd
on the Atlantic slope of the Blue Ridge,
bnt only on the western declivity—or,
more properly speaking, on the top of
the mountain.
They are seldom more than one foot in
length and have no ecales. On their
sides they are dotted with beautiful deep
red spots abont the size of a large pin
head, which spots are in regular fines.
They belong to the salmon species and
the meat of most of them are of a rich
salmon solor. The experiment of trans
porting them to the brooks on the At
lantis slope of the mountain to stock
those waters with them has been re
peatedly made, bnt has failed in every
instance. They cannot exist except in
very cold water, and tho water on the
sonth side of the mountain is too warm
for them. They abound in all the
streams in the elevated table land on top
of tbe Blue Ridge, known as Canada, a
section of country just over the top of
the mountain from Porter Springs, and
abont three to ten miles distant. It was
in this section of our State that there was
snow on the first day of this month. For
several honrs there was a heavy fall of
snow, to which we alluded in last Friday’s
issue. If the State government would
only open up good turnpike roads by con
vict labor into that mountain regionjt
would become the Switze$>£*
South, but withn.'*- -
j ' ““ U J*
:Thia table land, called Canada, is about
fopr thousand feet above the sea level,
and the peaks snrronnding it rise nearly
one thousand feet higher.
The fact that the speckled tront
abpnnd in thoso waters and that there
was a brisk snow storm there for several
honrs last Sunday, October 1st, is dem-
onatrative evidence that there is within
the limits of Georgia a little Switzerland
if it were only developed.
Ksllogsr ana IMM Charged WItti
the Cilfix Massacre in 1873.
Special to the St. Louis Republican.)
NxwOelxans, October4.—Pitkinqttal
ifled as United States. Marshal to-day.
E, H. Flowers, colored, of Grant parish,
and formerly a leading Radical there,
has espoused the Conservative cause. In
a speech last night he charged Kellogg
and Packard with the responsibility of
the .Colfax massacre in 1873. He says
Kellogg, by the advice of his spiritual
adviser, Packard, appointed in Grant
parish two sets of officers, and told each
of them to take offices. Kellogg wonted
a few negroes killed to make his hold to
the usurped Gubernatorial chair a politi
cal necessity in the eye* of the Northern
people and Congress. ‘Ward and myself
were to be killed. "Ward, another former
leading colored Republican, who had a
hand in the Grant parish affair, and
who espoused the Conservative cause,
e a speech. He said we have endured
rrible government for the past four
years, known as Kellogg’s Government,
which is as corrupt and rotten as sin.
Referring to the Grant parish matter,
and being a member of the .Legislature
then, "Ward says: Kellogg gof hp the
flgut c &Ji Appointing two.^tfe. of parish
officers, thus arraying the factions
against each other, and so distributed the
appointments that the whites were ar
rayed against the negroes. He says the
trouble commenced at Colfax with the
two sheriffs that Kellogg appointed with
instructions to go up there and raise a
fight and make political ^spital ont of
the dead negroes fer the party. The
white people with Kellogg’s authority
came into Colfax to take possession of
offices, and Shaw, the Republican sheriff,
summoned the colored people to resist
them; so white and colored people were
brought together in confliot, and many
colored men were killed. It was brought
abont directly by Kellogg, who planned
the movement, and knew what the con
sequences were going to he. Concluding
he says of Kellogg and Packard: It was
their purpose to have seveuty-nino col
ored men killed for the purpose of gain
ing the support of the Northern people
and sustaining Kellogg as Governor of
Louisiana. I charge that Governor Kel
logg and S. B. Packard were the inven
tors of the mnrder and plct, and that
they deliberately planned the killing of
these poor colored men because Kellogg
wanted to do something that would keep
him in his seat as Governor, owing to the
influence it would have on the people of
the North.
When the meeting adjourned, Ward
and Flowers were escorted home by a
committee of white Democrats, to protect
them from the Radical negroes who were
in waiting for them, in large numbers.

place of meeting.
Incoming' Cotton Crop.
The report of the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange for October, telegraphed to oar
edition of yesterday, was a highly im
portant document to tho cotton trade. It
claims for Lonieiana an average falling
off of 16 per cent, on last year’s cotton
product. For Mississippi a decrease of
21 per cent, and for Arkansas a decrease
of 25 per cent.—say an average of 20 per
cent, in tho three of tho heaviest cotton
producing. States. It means a decrease
of three to four hundred thousand bales
in these three States, and as little or no
increase of product over last year is
claimed for any of the States, it means a
substantial falling off in the incoming
cotton crop of that amount. This state
ment should stop further decline in pri
ces, and we trust will do it.

Tbe Tallapoosa Copper Mine*
Mr. George Greenhow, who has just re
turned from a visit to the Ducktown
Mines in Tennessee, and tho Tallapoosa
HarraJson connty, Georgia, showed us
several specimens yesterday, of tho ore
taken from, each. The mineral rock of
the latter is much darker and softer, and
decidedly richer in the pnre metal. The
percentage of pure copper in the Duck-
town vein, which yields a profit of $200-
000 annually, is but 5 per cent., and the
ord has to be hauled by wagon forty-
three miles. Tho metal yield of tho Tal
lapoosa is 8} per cent., and the distance
from railway transpertation bnt twelve
miles. This is a fins exhibit for the
Georgia mine, and we trust our Macon
stockholders will realize a handsome
thing by their investments in the Talla
poosa.

Speech of General John A. McCIer«
nand to the Boys In Bine at Indian
spoils.
It would richly repay tho reader if we
had space to print in ettenso, the late
ringing and statesmanlike oration of this
ex-Federal General to his former Union
associates of the army and navy. A brief
passage or two relating to Gen. Grant,
however, is all we can reproduce.
After a glowing tribute to the military
career of his old commander, he thus de
picts his fall from the pinnacle as it were
of glory, to tho deepest abyss of political
infamy:
But brute force and sudden prosperity
have a natural concomitant in low vices;
and, we regret to say, General Grant is a
notorious instance of this truth. Start
ling revenges,, sensual indulgence and
venal association have, unhappily clouded
his fame. As a commander, he dared to
conceal or to misstate material facts to
excnlpato himself, or to inculpate or dis
parage others. As President, his follies
and wantonness are a shame at home and
a national reprexch abroad. His civil
administration is deplorable. Bringing
with him tho ideas and habits of the
camp, he has treated his station as a per
sonal perquisite to bo enjoyed
restraint. H* lavished upon
obscurity and n>~>iucntr, particularly
— ,,vj- <Le circle of his familiars, while,
as a role, he has ignored distinguished
talont and public service. Bristow and
Jewell expiated a distasteful comparison
by their enforced resignation. Fish alone
has been spared a similar aet of atone-
ment. , ' ,
At the ontset ho overleaped a statute
consecrated by timo and long observance
in selecting an importing “ merchant
prince” (A. T. Stewart) for Secretary of
the Treasury, and when the Senate
objected that the law forbade, he imperi'
ally replied: “ Let the law be repealed or
suspended.”
He negotiated, privately, through an
irresponsible emissary, a treaty with the
Dominican usurper, Baez, for the acqui
sition of foreign territory, and ordered
forth ships of war, without the know
ledge or consent of Congress, to uphold
the treaty, and when a leading Senator
and member of bis own political party
raised his voice against these start
ling and dangerous infractions of the con
stitution, he venomously turned upon
him and caused him to be ignominioasly
dropped from tbe head of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs.
He has presumed to assail, in an official
communication to Congress, the regular
ity and validity of the constitution of the
State of Arkansas, and the action of the
Governments republican in form, under
it, although both were spoken into exist
ence by an overwhelming majority of her
people.
He has deposed by military intimida
tion, a Governor chosen by a majority of
the voters of Louisiana, to restore an im
poster who had been spurned by his pre
tended constituents.
Ho has detailed military officers to the
collection 'of internal revenues, and to
perform other delicate and important
civil trusts in disregard of the Constitu
tion and laws, of public opinion and the
advice of some of his adherents.
He has licensed or permitted similar
officers to canvass election returns, to is
sue certificates of election, to judge of
-the elections and qualifications of the
members of the State Legislature, and to
coeroe submission to their usurpation by
armed men.
He claims power by bis marshals to
supervise the registration of voters, to
arrest such voters as are deemed offend
ers, with or withent precess of law, and
to call out the posse eomitatus of the dis
trict to assist in this alarming invasion
of tho freedem of elections and liberties
of the people.
Under the pretense of protecting col
ored voters in the Southern States, ke.
has ordered, in effect, the military occu
pation of those States, in time of peace,
to prolong the misrule of his vagrant
carpet-bag sympathizers in those States,
and for bis partisans generally, while the
frontier settlers and their scanty defend-
ers are left exposed to the murderous on-
sluught of warlike Indian tribes.
What Southern snffeser could have
stated the case in plainer or more forcible
language ?
