jtt the clou of tho w.ir the white peo

for a ciailta’d people, on tbe faco of the
earta Tie negro*-*, of coarse, had
literally n°tb< n l? F ir ►oreral years
after tn*r froidom e Urge majority
r f th>m were likerbiMren jn.t
frota a<bool They thought nothing
0 f to mirrow To attend a political
noetioy and join in tno pn-c-saion
that parched through th» .tr-etxr,-
their greatest del.ght All sorts of
fuage wero circulated among them by
Jeairung men, and wero implicitly be-
]i,*c< by a largo number of them. That
thrjwould get “forty acres and a mule"
eas Irmly believed by them for several
»«an At ono time I was at my farm,
Ibirf miles distant from Macon. The
«bta" came to them that the Queen
hail -ent over tv ahip-load of gold for
them and all who wero in Macon by a
certan day would get a cupful! of gold.
Th« neit morning tliero was not a
gegr on the piaco—all had gone, leaving
the rop in which they were interested
lo tun care of itaelf. I mention thoso
f.rlto shaw you liow improvident they
e. reand how easily deluded For tbe
last»» years they have learned "better
„n*»’ aa they eipreaa it. They ore
co* in much more proaperom condi
tion, int ao easily led astray. They in-
prstiate more than they ever did, learn
ing t have confidence in themselves and
io t*ir former owners. They work
.-tie -'tally and well. Tm-y begin to ao
miniate property, which makes them
,-onwvativo in their views. The Comp
trollr General's report for the year 1875
than that they owned .100 G53 acros of
Usd valued at $1,203 902; that they
owad 'o«n and city property valued at

By.be act of February °.l. 1873, of the
Le.-i atiireof Georgia, tho negro is fully
protrted in his labor. Tb&t act gives
him i'Hun on tbo proporty of hi* em

praties a summary way of enforcing

tbe natter of odncatlon, tho report of
the S',t* School Commtsdoner for last
ymr stows that the number of children
in th< p Idio schools last year was
143 72‘. Of these 93,750 wero whitos.
and 43378 w,-ro colored Thu coat per
manta per pupil wa9 $1 73
Our Constitution provides that each
malectixen shall pay annually $1 aa a
poll-tax. and this tax shall go to sustain
the peblio schools. In 1875 tbe negroes
retained 80,959 polls, and onght to have
paid into tbe School Fund that many
dollars Hut about two-tlmda of thorn
(ailed to pay, although tbo money was to
i-duoate thvir i.wn children. Of course,
the balance of tho School Fund not raised
by the poll tax must bo raised from tax
ation on proporty. In addition to tho
amount appropriat <d by tbo Stnto for
public schools, a great many counties
have local la*a for their pu- lie schools,
and are allowed to levy an additional tax
to carry them on Under these laws this
count) (Bibb) has for tbo last few yeara
levied 325,000 annually for tbo support
of the public schools. Tho negroes of
the county do not pay moro than 12 000
af this amount, and jot they nro allowed
Is sham equally with tho whiles in its
benefits It ta tho satno in oihor counties.
The legislature appropriates annually
(4000to the State University at Athens.
It appropriates tbe same amount annual
ly to tbo colored University at Atlanta,
where doctrines abhorrent to every white
man in the State aro daily taught.
In regard to their getting jnstico tn our
courts, I have this to say : I am freo to
admit that for a fow yeara after tho war
it was easier to convict a negro before a
jury than It was a whito man. 1 aay to
yon now, truthfully, that in my practice,
eitending to n good many countios in
Middle Georgia, I oeo no difference.
Tbe passions nnd prejudiced of raco have
died out in Georgia. Thero is uo conflict
or antagonism between os. Wo live
peaceably together, and wo nro in a fair
way to rolvo tbo great problem if lot
a’ooe.
You may remember that during last
year there wo* considerable excitement
■a tin* whole country in regard to a re
ported insurrection in Washington and
adjoining conation. Tho people in that
section of the Stnto wero g-ently excited
and incunacd over the threats of sonic
disreputable negroes of killing the men
and taking their wires nnd daughters for
their own purposes. Governor Smith
ordered out tbo militia of tho county and
took command of them in person. Ho
made a speech, anl advised against any
set of violence or lawlessness. Ilia
advice was taken by tho people; tho
leaders of the reported insurrection were
arrested. Judge UertchelV. Johnson, who
rsn for Vico President with Douglass,
called a special term of his court for the
purpose of trying tho prisoners. Ho gave
to tbe grind jury a charge which was
universally commend d at th-> time by
the press North and South for its clear-
arts, its wisdom, ita moderation and jun
lice. Ms appointed tho loading lawyers
of tbo circuit to defend the negrne>. an 1
out of thirty who were put upon trial,
tuy recollection is that all were acquitted
but one. This is not an isolated case. T
*** negro,* acquired at every court I

In a great many counties in Georgia
negroe* serv • on the jury. Our Cousti
lution provides that none but “upright
*ul intelhg, nt” cttitrn.. .ball serve upon
juries To carry this provi-ion into
*fieci tbe law prescribes that tbo Ordi-
*■**7. the clerk and sheriff together, with
three citix-ns appointed by the Judge of
the Superior Court, shall take the tax lists
asd sulret therefrom tho names of "up-

they are required to tako an oath toat

many negroea have been put in the
1-tJ box of this county. Some are exclud

CAMPAIGN OP 1876.
W, ms now preparing to rater upon the second Centrants! epoch of American
Political History. A crisis is npoa us mors important than that which Ons Htudrtd
Year* ago gave birth to Liberty and So If-Government on the Westerns Continent
That epoch inaugurated a feeble bat hopeful experiment in the capacity of the
people (o rale themselves—this one determines whether It shall fail prematurely—
before lie prime—blasted, mildewed and rotten with vine sad corruption. That
epoch caw s youthful people rising against kingly opptession sad violations of in
herent and Constitutional Eights. This one see* their descendants gathering a
sudden but dilatory alarm at still more flagrant invasions of Fandsnisnisl Law and
Liberty from the hand, of a faction grown so powerful and audacious as to proclaim
their own supremacy over law—for nearly a decade to boast openly of running the
Government “outside the Constitution”—first by a supreme Congress and thea by
an irresponsible Executive—until finally all the limitations on Federal power ore
held in seoh practical contempt that they had, up to a very late period, esaaed to be
considered and discussed except jocosely.
It is a solemn fact that the end of one linndred year, of experience under a so-
called Republican Government—with a written Constitution—finds the fandom ratal
principles and usages of free government aud personal Iiberiy under far greater
danger than ever before—rad the rights cf tho Slates to control their own domeitic
affair* in much greater jeopardy than they ever stood in aa colonies from the hands
of King George—while every fanotion of onr National Government is poisoned by
tbo mildew of corruption and abuse.
The moral causee whieh will decide cur fato as a freo people aro now in aotive
operation, and tbo S-condGrand Centennial battle of civil freedom will be fought
this year. Never was there so important a field aa now for the conscientious and
intelligent newspaper. Never so pressing a necessity for the employment of every
menu* of reachiug and arousing the intelligence and patriotism of the'oountry.
la this great controversy for tbo revival of Free Government—the re-esiabiisb-
ment of Civil Liberty and the rights of Local Sa!f Govemment-»*ihe T*L«oaAPii
means to do its whole duty for tho present and for ooming generations. We appeal
to onr friends and readers everywhere to enlarge onr sphere of usefulness and iefia-
enoe by increasing our oirculation. Wa exhort every Democrat to arouse to the
magnitude of the great eriais upon cs as a people, and to remember that Tn the
