TIIK GEOKGM I’KESS.
FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 4, 1871.
'IRc Itadlral Firtbraad.
W« have copied elsewhere from the Tribune
the Ku-klns manifesto of the Republican Cen
tral Committee at Washington. It is tho first
grand broadside from the Grant and Morton
battory, nnd all eyes will bo turned to watch its
effect on the people. Will it prostrate the Sooth-
era people uuder its mighty load of venomous
libel ? Will the virus take root in tho Northern
mind, and stir up a raging fover of indignation
and sectional animosity, which no Democratic
rebuttals or pleas in cxtennation can abate—bnt
which most have its course and seek its final re-
• lief in »UU more signal vengeance upon tho
Southern whites? If so, tho plans of Grant’s
sense keeper, Morton, will have been successful.
Bnt if the Northern mind shall view these fabri
cations with suspicion—if it shall be disinclined
to renew tho war and the persecution of a de
fenceless people, then some other and better
plan must lio tried. So far, wo have seen but
one newspaper response. It is in the Herald or
Monday, and wo reprint tho following para
graph:
We see, then, what n farce, and, at tho same
time, what a gross impcsition upon the country,
this Radical Bn klnx reportof tho Congression
al Committee is likely to be. Bnt ia it not play
ing with fire ? Is not such a ono-sidod inflam
matory report made for party purposes calcu
lated to do mncb barm ? Will >t not make the
negroes, who are already in tho ascendant in
some parts of the South, and who are commit
ting most diabolical acts, more presumptuous
nnd disorderly? Who has not heard of the
atrocities of a band of negroes in Chatham
connty, and adjoining conntios in North Caroli
na? And yoaterday wo reported a fearful,
bloody and drunken riot by a body of fivo thou
sand blacks at the Republican Convention in
Goldsboro, in tbo samo State. Of course these
horrors will scarcely bo noticed by any Radical
Congressional oominittco, because they are per-
potrated by tbo “poor negroes’’—by tho allies
and snpportors of the Radical party. It is the
pretended wbito Kn-klnx that is mado (he bug
bear to alarm Northern voters and to givo the
administration a chance to exercise a military
despotism in tho South. Tho Radical carpet
bag and scalawag pnblio men—and among them
was a Congressman by tbo name of Thomas—
and Stanley, tho President of n railroad, soom
to havo boon tho nbettors of tbo riotons negroes
at Goldsboro. Well may wo dospair of peace in
tho South while tho party in power makes mis
representations of tho state of things in tho
South for political objects, while it givos nil its
support nnd sympathy to tho negroes, and en
deavors to crush the nativo white people of that
Motion.
Thoso aro tho suggestions of a commercial
prndence and patriotism, which, it is to be
foared, will find but a feeble response in the
rural districts. The reader will form bis own
judgment of probabilities.
Bat every man’s judgment must endorse what
tho Herald says of tho probable result of a Pres
idential canvass on this programme. It is es
sentially a ernsado against the Southern whites,
and the Northern Democrats as thoir sympa*
timers. It ia a war of malignant slander upon
the Sonthorn whitos—a war waged to put us
zuoro deeply under the ban of political pro
scription by tho Federal Government and the
odium nnd condemnation of the ontsido world.
Tho Radical press, which is substantially the
American press, will groan with the work of
detraction, and oil the resources of tho Federal
Govornmoat will be employed in holding ua np
to universal execration.
So much abroad. Bnt at homo, what is the
chance for social quiet and prosperity on the
schedule of Radical operations based on the
fundamental idea and allegation that the South
ern whites, osamass, aro organized into “dens”
of armed Kn-klnx banditti to harry the negroes
into voting the Democratic ticket. That charge,
of oonrse, means connleractionby a correspond
ing negro Radical banditti. It means a revival
undor aanotion of the Grant Government of the
Sharp’s Riflo programme of Sonth Carolina
Soott. It moans Radical emisaries flying about
from farm to farm poisoning the ears and en
venoming tho passions of the simple and credu
lous negroes, nnd organizing them into armed
leagues. It moans the attempt to inaugurate a
reign of menace and terror nil over the South
ern country. It moons little work and much
fear and excitement after next midsummer—
neglected crops and insolent and contract-break
ing employees. It means a situation fraught
with extrema disquietude and peril and great
moral nnd material tojnry to all classes, espe
cially to the negroes themaevleo, who will pay, in
lost time, money nnd character, for playing
oats’ paws to the most reckless, selfish and cruel
politicians who ever made sport of the fortunes
of a groat country and the fate of the people.
This is tho future which Grant, Morton and
their political runners havo marked ont for the
Sonth, contingent upon its sanction by the
popular sympathy of the North. Will the North
oonsent that this hellish programme of a Presi
dential canvass shall bo carried into effect ? The
whole matter routs with that section. Will they
consent that the South shall be disorganized—
defamed and impoverished. Will they oonsent
that onr productive resouroes shall be crippled
and the cotton crop cut shot by a quasi war of
racos ? Are they willing that the passions and
animosities of the war shall all be enkindled
into a iUmo again by so wicked and reckless a
canvass ? Let them answer.
Mayor Cloghorn, of Columbus, has called a
public meeting next Satarday night, to see if

tral Road to the Savannah River has been com
pleted. tho first loaded train with limber reach
ing tho wbnif on Alondny morning last. Yes
terday the first train load of railroad iron was
carried from the wharf up the road. Two ves
sels havo discharged cargoes of iron on tho
wharf, while ft third is ready to do so.
A large freight shed will soon be constructed
by the company ou tho river front, and it is
contemplated to extend tho wharf so as to admit
of more wharf room.
The completion of tho now dry dock across
the river is so far an accomplished fact that it
is confidently expected a vessel will be placed
in it somo time next week. In a word, every
thing is in readiness to that end, except that
tho dredge has not qnito finished its work, which
will ooenpv threo or four days.

Potatoes and peas are also being injured by the
drouth. Fodder-pulling is going on briskly.

If they are too sick to eat the dough, drench

IZESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION—FACTS BBOUGHT
TO LIGHT DUBINO A TWO MONTHS’ SESSION.
Tho resident Republican Executive Commit
tee of Washington publish the following digest
of the facts established by the Kn-klnx investi
gation dnring the two months in which the
Congress Committee have been in session:
1. That in alt the lato insurrectionary States,
and generally diffused, though not fonnd in
every connty, is an oath-bonnd, secret organiza
tion, working only at night, and its members
all in disguise, with officers, signs, signal, pass
words, grips, and all the necessary parapherna
lia, with the pledged and sworn purpose of put
ting down the Republican party and putting up
the Democratic party, known in different locali
ties among the initiated by different names, bnt
everywhere recognized by the genorrl cognomen
“Kn-klnx.”
2. That tho organization came Into being a
few months previous to the last Presidential
election, during which canvass it was in its most
vigerons condition, but is now through all the
South, with more efficient discipline nnd effec
tive direction than ever, reviving in preparation
for the next Presidential campaign, when, as
they told one of their victims in Tennessee, a
few weeks since, “no d—d Radical voting is to
be allowed in any Southern State by black or
white.”
3. That this Kn-klux organization is the pre
meditated and determined scheme for carrying
The Tbibune and Butlee.—The New York
Tribune, in a very caustic artiole on Bntler, in
timates its opinion that he means to run for
Governor of Massachusetts whether nominated
by the Radical Convention or not The Tribune
sayg:
Before his phonographic visiter conelnJed his
dictee, the question and response were written
down which forms the key to all that went be
fore. “What will you do if you are not nomi
nated by the Republican Convention?” To which.,
with a smile, and he can smile and be a Bailor
still, the loyal statesman responded, * ‘I have never
contemplated such a contingency.” Before a
threat like this, from such a source, will the
Massachusetts Convention hesitate as to what
is decent and politic ?

A ’Washington correspondent of the Savan
nah Daily Advertiser, writing on the 29th nib,
•says :
J. Clarke Swnyze, who is an applicant for the
position of Collector of Internal Revenue for
the Second Georgia District (endorsed by Fos
ter Blodgett.) dnring his recent visit hero pub
licly stated that the Republican delegation from
Georgia to the next National Republican Con
ventiun would go dead against Grant's renomi
nominee.
4. That tho officers and establishes of these
“Dens (as they appropriately call their separate
hands are the leading and active Democratic
politicians of the South.
5. That the scheme has the hearty good-will
of a large section of the Democratic party in all
thoso States, and the acquiescence of nearly the
entire party.
(1. That the direct and chief purpose of the or
ganization, as sworn by all the victims, as the
assertion uniformly made to them by these
midnight assassins, and corroborated by the uni
versal testimony of the repentant and divulging
members of the order, is this: The putting down
nation. This boast has been brought to the no- 1 °f the Republican and tho putting up of the
tice of the appointing power, and the conse-
sequence is, Mr. J. Clarke Swajza will not col
lect tho iQtemal Revenue for the Seoond Geor
gia District.
The Oxfobd Cahe.—The Sander.svillo Geor
gian makes a long and eloquent remonstrance
against the nnjnst assumption by the Telegbaph
that Oxford's liberators were from tliat connty.
We have explained that this assumption was
founded wholly under the impression that, as
Oxford was convicted and sentenced in that
county, bo and bis friends belonged there; bnt
the foot being that Oxford did not belong to
Washington county, of course the assumption
Democratic parly.
7. That while the Democratic and Kn-klnx
witnesses on their direct examination usually
deny the political purpose of the order,asserting
that the Ka-klux are a social necessity, growing
ont of the abolition of the old patrol; that they
have to ride the conntry to “keep the niggers
in their placothat under the inflaence of
Radical legislation and Methodist preaching tho
niggers aro liable to become saucy,” and with
out au occasional Ku-klux visit would “begin to
think themselves as good as white folks and
that these frequent floggings, and an occasional
marder, are necessary to maintain snch a state
of morals among the blacks as will permit the
vice-hating whites to live in their neighborhood;
yet, on the cross-examination, these witnesses
was groundless. And why should our friend of I a ^ so very generally, as well as very reluctantly.
the Georgian take this assumption so much to
heart ? We suppose there is hardly in the world
sa populous a connty as Washington is, wherein
enough disorderly men oonld not be fonnd to
attempt tho roseno of a convicted felon; and it
was therefore oertainly no impeachment of the
general character and reputation of Washington
—a thing which it is not in onr mind or heart
to mnko.
Darius Bobbery.
A correspondent writes that Prof. Asbury, of
Monroe Female Oollege, Forsyth, was robbed
of his watch and money on Wednesday night.
The thief clambered into his sleeping apart
ment by means of a box placed against the win
dow, and made off with his booty without dis
turbing the Professor. Soon afterward he awoke
and discovered his loss, bat too late to detect
and overhaul the thief. HowlODg a reoord of aots
like these perpetrated by onr oppressed black
brother oonld be famished as the reverso of the
picture for the Kn-klnx Committee ?
Radical Afbica Broke Loose in Charleston.
—The Charlestoaians, on Monday, had a fear
ful time of it. The Radical negroes paraded
tho town, assaulted several houses and their in-
matos with clubs and brickbats, demolished win
dows—gutted stores, and made several attempts
to firo them, which fortunately were frustrated.
Their fury seems to have been mainly directed
against the Germans, for no other reason con
ceivable than that General Wagener, the Con
servative candidate for Mayor, is a German,
and they made lively threats of “burning down
every d—d Datchman's house.” The telegram
ro ports that on Taesday night after the voies were
palled, both parties claimed the victory. But,
if wo are not mistaken, the law allows the can
vassers several days to make out the returns—
so that tho result is not determined by voting,
bnt by oonnting.
Maoon and AcouaTA Railboad.—Mr. H. M.
CoUiugbam, in a communication complains of
the injostioe of “Merchant,” towards the Ma
con and Augusta Railroad, and asserts trat the
freight and passenger time North by way of
Charleston, is shorter than by any other route.
We copy from tho same number of th&fieor-
gian tho following items:
Buffalo Spring, in this connty, is attracting
considerable local attention jnst now. The
waters are said to possess valuable medicinal
qualities. Visitors aro charmed with the excel
lent effect.
A largo and very singular fowl was killed in
this county a few days since. “ The oldest in
habitant” nevor saw_pnything like it. 'Twas
probably a seabird driven into the interior by
the recent heavy storms.
A Move in the Right Dibetion.—The great
obstacle in the way of those who desire to bnild
or improve their buildings in Sandersville, has
been the inconvenience and expense in obtain
ing material. The nearest saw mill was seven
miles or more distant, and brick could be had
onlv by rail from Macon or Savannah. This
difficulty is now being removed. A saw mill
haa been erected within a short distance of town,
and a brickyard will be in full blast in a few days.
Weekly Chop Repobt, Etc.—Daring the
past week we have visited the conntry in two
different directions. Crops are generally dean,
nicely laid by and looking better than we had
hoped to see them. Corn is far from being
good, however, and will be mncb short of the
yield per acre in 1870. Cotton, though small,
is heavily fruited and looking well. The pea
and potatoe crop look very well. Fodder pull
ing has commenced—the warmest work of the
year.
The health of the connty continues generally
good, thongh we hear of some sickness.
The Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, says a gentle
man from Cedartown states that on Tuesday last,
at that place, the slate property of tha Blance-
ville Slate Mining Company was sold at Sher
iff’s sale, and purchased by Chief-Justice Loch-
rane for $7,500.
State Tax.—An order was issued by the Gov
ernor on Wednesday that four-tenths of one per
cent. he assessed and collected upon the amount
of the value of property returned by each tax
payer, subject to taxation ad valorem.
The Snn says the oontraot for famishing the
premiums for tho forthcoming Fair of the Geor
gia State Agricultural Society has been awarded
to Messrs. Sharp Jt Floyd, Jewelers, of that
city.
Atlanta Vineoab Wobks.—The Constitution
says Atlanta has a vinegar works, and apples or
other material is fermented in two fermenting
Tats fonr feet high and S00 gallons capacity
each. We do not eare for the “other materials,
bnt a little pure cider vinegar would remind ns
of old times.
Second Baptist Chubch —At a meeting of
the members of the seoond Baptist Church, At
lanta, held in the lecture room Wednesday
night, a committee was appointed to report the
name of some snitable divine for pastor at the
regnlar conference on Friday night week, when
if the church should deem it expedient, an elec
tion will lie held.
Inexcusable.—Some one on a switch engine
in Atlanta opened a hot water oock on two little
children sitting on the railroad bank, scalding
one of them dangerously.
The Supreme Coart, on Wednesday, were still
on the Southwestern Circuit—No. 25.
Col. Christy, of the Athens WatchmaD, who
has jnst returned from giviDg his testimony
before the Ku-klux Committee, ssys in his pa-
confess that the intimidation of Republican vo
ters is a prominent and not to be regretted re
mit.
&. That to secure this purpose, the patting
down of the Republican and the patting np of
the Democratic party, intimidation is the grand
measure—the intimidation of Republican vo
ters, black and white, bnt especially the humble
and defenseless, by midnight raids; by burning
houses and stores, and the destruction of crops
by whippings of such extreme ornelty as often
to end m death; by most indecent and painful
maiming; by assassination and Murder in such
cowardly manner and with snch hellish device
as may strike terror into whole counties, and
bring down the Republican vote from 2,000 or
3,000 to less than a single dozen.
9. That “school teachers” and “preachers of
the Methodist Church North” seem to be the
especial abhorence of these Democratio assas
sins ; and hundreds of school houses and Meth
odist churches have been givpn to the flames
and Christendom will stand aghast when it"
made known the scores of school teachers and
Methodist preachers, who. by -this Democratic
agenoy, within these three years, have been
whipped, shot, hang, and, in some instances, it
is believed, burned at the stake!
10. That in nearly one-half the States of this
Union this work of bell is now going on, night
by night—every month extending the range of
its bloody operations, and fearfnliy multiplying
the number of its victims 1
11. That it is solely and immediately in tho
service of the Democratio party—a large portion
of the parly South heartily approving—large
numbers of the party NoTth attempting its pal
liation by exense, and Us shelter from scorn by
covering np or denying its crimes, as if coward
Iy Assassination could be palliated, and brutal
murder excused, and the Democratio party
throngbont the land rejoicing in its promise of
help. So, either by open and acknowledged
action, or by the no less criminal and the more
cowardly participation of extenuating andshield-
ing tho crime, the party, Sonth and North, be
come befote the people and before God equal
sharers in tho responsibility.
Macon and Augusta Railroad
Macon, Ga., August 3, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: My at
tention has been called to an article signed
Merchant,” in yonr issue of yesterday, which
is calculated tQ produce false impressions, and
do injury both to Macon and the Macon and
Augusta Railroad. Whatever foundation there
may have been several months ago for the charge
that there was no “qnick through schedule” on
that road, snch a statement is far from being
true now. The road is not only in as g iod or
der ss any other in Georgia, but it famishes as
speedy transportation to the sea and to Eastern
points as can be obtained on the Central or any
other road leading out of Macon. It is now
the settled purpose of the company and of the
Georgia Road and its connections to offer every
inducement to the people of Maoon and Middle
Georgia to patronize onr line. If such a result
can be secured by qnick time, careful handling
and reasonable freight, it will moat assuredly
be accomplished.
I think ‘‘Merchant” need feel no apprehen
sion that the Central Road will ever control the
Georgia Road, by lease or otherwise. Thera
are too many obstacles in the way to render
snch a thing possible. Being the western agent
of the through line from Macon to Charleston,
S. C., and thence North, I have deemed this
statement proper in order to remove any mis
apprehension which the article in question may
have created.
I ask at the hands of the merchants and ship
pers of Macon their patronage and a fair trial,
and I will prove onr line not only as cheap as
competing lines, bnt the quickest.
You will confer a favor by giving this a place
in your colnms. Very respectfully,
H. M. CoTTDiGHAXf.

Wo met with several gentlemen in Washing
ton last week, whom we had known two years
ago as decided Republicans and zealons sup
porters of General Grant, who now declare that
they have had enough of it, and that if the Dem
ocratic party will avoid extreme gr-jund in their
platform, they, and thousands of others of their
acquaintance, will heartily co-operate with it in
turning out the plunderers and restoring the
Government to a Republican form.
The Colonel adds in another paragraph:
“Be sure to send full delegations to tho Na
tional Convention, bnt in Heaven’s name, avoid
sending extreme men,” is the universal lan
guage of onr Northern and Western friends.
The advice is good. Let os profit by it.
Hankfeino atoe the Peesedenct.—Unqucs
tionably the philosophic H. G. is seriously
hankering after the Presidency. His very
fatherly discourse to the Alexandrians presents
broad issue in spirit, at least, with the cut
throat policy and platform of Grant and Morton.
The philosopher is bland and fascinating. We
stand with him bo far as believing six years of
military rule instead of six years of carpet-bag-
