Telegraph & Messenger. 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 the city will subscribe to the Albany and Colum bus Railroad. The Eaqnirer notices the deathjof Stephen G. Wells, Airs. .T. A. Tyler and Randall Jones, prominent citizens of Columbus and vicinity. Cotton receipts of Colnmbns 70,213—on band 1,703 bales. Wilkes, Ogletiioepe, Geeene and Eleeet. The Constitutionalist says he conversed with a gentlemen just from those oounties, who re ports the crops everywhere as very promising, bnt suffering at the present time for rain. One or two more good showers will insure tho most abundant corn crop, and a very satisfactory yield of cotton. Augusta and Habtwxll Railboad —The same paper says tho contract for bnildiog this road was signed on tho 1st instant. Parties will commence work immediately. Gas Stock —Six hundred and seventy-six shares of Angusta Gas Stock (increased capital) sold at public auction on Tuesday for $30 25 to $32 25 per share on a par value of $25. Mrs. John Charles was killed in the old Eagle and Phoenix bnilding in Augusta, by a portion of tho plastering falling on her head and breast as she lay sick in bed. Centk.il Railboad to the Savannah.—Tho Republican says tho work of extending the Cen 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. The Old Pulaski, with her southern and east ern walls torn down from tho second story to the basement, tho vast mass above snpported by wooden stilts, and the streets around lnm- . berod np with old bricks end mortar, presents I th® Sonth at tho noxt election of President, nnd rather a sorry plight. Tho work of modernizing I s0 , Uy securing the entire electoral vote of that is progressing with commendable dispatch, the I aectiori, make sure the election of the Democrat The Hawkinsvilie Dispatch, of the 3<1 inst., has the following: Chops.—A severe drongtb is prevailing in this section, which is greatly damaging crops of all kinds—especially cotton, cane, and late com. Potatoes and peas are also being injured by the drouth. Fodder-pulling is going on briskly. Remkdt foe Chicken Choleba—The follow ing remedy has been tried successfully by ladies of this connty, recently, and, in every case, has enred the fowls of cholera, or the disease that has destroyed so many in this connty during the present year: Take the roots of common Jimson weed and make a strong tea; then make a dough of corn meal and the tea ; feed it to the diseased fowls. If they are too sick to eat the dough, drench them with a teaspoonful of the tea. Dar TVeatheb. — The weather, (says the Barnesville Gazette, of the 3d,) is growing ex ceedingly dry. No rain since Monday, 17th nit. Lato com badly injured. Early planted corn is a fair crop. Cotton is now suffering; many fanners report their cotton shedding its forms. The rampalsn Bombshell—The Rad ical Kill of Indictment. From the New Yoik Tribune of 31st ult ] 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. FOR SALE. A FINE Gentle Barouche Horse. Apply to &ng4 2t W. L.

I per: 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- ism, would have been far better for the South ern States. No liberty would have been loaf, and many dollars saved. Da. LrvTNOsroNE has not had any breeches to speak of for four years, the merchant tailors of Ujiji refusing to credit him.
