Tuesday Morning, September 14,1875.
CURRENT TOPICS.
The Mississippi Campaign.
The election for Congressmen comes off
in Mississippi on the second day of Novem
ber. For the iirst time since the war the
white people are thoroughly aroused, and
are making a determined effort to rescue
their State from carpet-baggers an,d
orang-outangs. They have, like South Car
olina, perhaps stood too much aloof and
sullenly looked on at the carnival of
knaves. Encouraged by the efforts of their
neighbors in Alabama and Arkansas, and
the success of the Democratic party
throughout the United States, they have
woko up and are, to use a homely phrase,
“making it hot” for the vulgar and shame
less herds of ignorance and knavery who
have lorded it ovor them for the last ten
years.
The case is by no means a desperate one.
According to the census of 1370 Mississippi
contained 827,922 souls. Of this there were
832,896 whites, 444,201 colored and 16 Chinese.
This would give th '*£,.068 a majority in
population at that time of 61,289. Wo pre
sume that there, as everywhere else, the
negroes have decreased while the whites
havo increased. Just here we are told that
all the whites are not Democrats, which is
unfortunately true, but at the same time
we must reply that all the negroes are not
Radicals, which is equally true.
A white man can easily govern a negro
if he will go about it right. He can make
him voto his ticket much more easily than
lie cun an opponent of his own race. Here
in Georgia we found it the easiest thing in
the world to teach the colored people to
vote the Democratic ticket. Once break
down the Radical party, read to them, get
them to vote the right ticket the first time
and tfiey will always do so. Ihe greatest
It ar they have is of their own race, and no
one can scarcely conceive the threats held
over them by the carpet-baggers. The
people of Mississippi must convince them
that in voting the Democratic ticket they
will be fully protected. This pledge must
be lived up to to the very letter.
On the day of the election the white peo
ple should totally suspend business of every
kind and go to the polls. In every city and
village stores should be closed and it made
incumbent upon every man to devote the
whole day in determined, hard and an un
flagging effort to carry the election. If a De
mocratic negro is interfered with in voting,
protect him then and there and if neces
sary tight for his lights. Another thing
should above all be looked after, and that
is the ballot boxes. Ames is none too good
to appoint men judges who would stuff the
b<>xes to any extent necessary. Demand of
him that at least one Democrat shall be ap
pointed at each voting place, and let that
man be a resolute and an honest man who
will not lose sight ol the boxes until the
ballots are counted.
Bullock was never elected Governor of
Georgia. Gen. Gordon defeated him by
actual count over seven thousand votes.
But his tools counted him in by precisely the
same number as a majority that he was
defeated. Take {jood care that Ames will
not play the same game. Remember that
the next Congress will be overwhelmingly
Democratic, it will listen and carefully in
vestigate frauds. At the election is the
time to get evidence of fraud. Every plant
er should be near the voting place and see
that boys under age are not allowed to
voto. If any try it, challenge him, take
down his name and hand it to the Chair
man of the Democratic Committee, to be
used in contesting the election. Money
must be expended freely, and work Is nec
essary night and day.
Had Results of Religions Excitement.
One of the sad results of excessive re
ligious excitement was witnessed last even
ing on the North side. A young girl, living
on East Indian street, near Clark, had de
voted herself to roligious exercises ana
reading until she had become partially de
mented, and, in a fervor of what she
deemed pious zeal, she concluded that to
the pure in heart ail things were pure, ana
that therefore clothes were only a hin
drance and entirely superfluous to the
righteous. Thus believing, she removed
i-very particle of raiment from her person
and ran out on the street. Before her ab
sence from the house had been noticed she
had made her way to Clark street
and passed rapidly along that thor
oughfare for two or three blocks
before anybody could muster up courage
enough to stop her. It is hardly necessary
to say that she was the observed of all
whom she met. At length a man with more
moral stamina than the rest stopped her
and wanted her to go home. Sljo refused
to do this, however, and also declined to
put on a shawl offered her by a lady, saying
to the latter that she would not be defiled
by the touch of garments, and that only
the sinful needed covering; for herself she
was clothed with righteousness, and noeded
no other habiliments than those of the
Word. Although this may have been con
vincing to the girl, it was not to a police
man who came up, and ho accordingly took
her in charge and returned lier to her
home.— Chicago Tribune.

GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
Appling county has had 1,196 sheep killed
by dogs this year— nearly three sheep to
every dog. There are 7,753 sheep and 10,-
077 dogs. In the county.
A Mr. William Gwynn, one of the most
industrious, quiet and inoffensive citizens
of Pike county, was arrested last Tuesday
bv a Federal Marshal from Atlanta, for
giving an insolent negro who had insulted
him a sound thrashing.
The Atlanta Waterworks were teste I Sat
urday and proved altogether satisfactory.
Besides being of incalculable convenience
to the people of the city, the rates of insur
ance should bg greatly reduced.
Hawkinsville Dispatch: We published in
last week’s Dispatch an account of a “gay
deceiver” by the name of Anderson, who
had traveled through Ware, Appling and
Coffee counties, passing himself off as a
revenue collector, and by this deception
swindling Sellers Lee, Daniel Lott, Llxhen
steiu and others out of various sums of
money. Lee didn’t have any money on
hand to pay his license for selling tobacco
and liquor, and the impudent scoundrel
had the audacity to threaten him with
handcuffs. He arrested Mr. Dee and started
toward Savannah with him, but on the way
they met a neighbor who loaned Leo the
money, and he was released. The rascal
came on to Hawkinsville and crossed the
Ocmulgee river somewhere, it is supposed,
between here and Lumber City. At any
rate he made his way to Americus, pursued
by the swindled parties. When they reach
ed Americus they found that he had been
arrested and placed in jail for larceny. He
was known m Americus by the name of
Roberson.
The Columbus Enquirer calls for a meet
ing of the Georgia Press Board of Honor to
take the Atlanta Commonwealth and Griffin
Messenger in hand. It says: “Their lan
guage towards each other is not only vio
lative of the rules of the Association, but
disrespectful to it—if not disgraceful to it.
Such extravagant and vehement vitupera
tion lowers the dignity of the press, and is
more damaging to one who uses it than to
one against whom it is directed, it is
strange indeed that some public writers
can never learn that simple, coarse abuse
of an opponent, without spocilic substan
tiation, ouly makes tbe community laugh
at the mau who resorted to it. Iu editors,
of whom the public expect information and
entertainment, it is inexcusable. If our
“ Boai'd of Honor ” has the powers of a
court-martial, we vote to suspend both the
offenders in this case uutil the next rneet
ing of the Association.” Col. Clisby, who
is a member of the Boai'd, heartily seoxnds
the call. We hope the Boaid wilt meet at
once and suspend these papers from the
Association, and keep them suspended un
til they promise to behave themselves.
II Capuciu.
JOAQUIN MILLER.
[From the Independent.]
Ouly a basket for fruits or bread
And the bits you divide with your dog
which you
Had left from your dinner. The round year
thi'ough
He never once smiles. He bends his head
To tfie seoi'n of men. lie gives the road
l o the very ass gxoauing under his loud.
He is ever alone. Do! never a hand
Is laid in his hand through the whole wide
land,
Save when a man dies and he shrives him
home,
And that is the Caupicln monk of Rome.
He coughs, he is humped, and he hobbles
about
In sandals of wood. Then a hempen card
Girdles his loathsome gown. Abhorred!
Aye! ugly, indeed, as a devil cast out.
Une gown in three years! and—bah! how
he smells!
He slept last night in his coffin of stono,
This monk that coughs, this skin and hone:
And so do they all, in their damp, cold cells,
lies, and up in the mdrn, Cjine storm or
shine,
And forth at four to wail at the shrine.
Go ye wh re the Plncian, now half leveled
down,
The six of the seven rent hills of Rome,
Slopes slow to the south. These men in
brown
Have a monkery there quaint, builded of
stone;
And, liviug or dead, ’tis the brown men’s
home,
These dead bi'own monks that are living in
Rome!
You will hear wood sandals on the sound
ing flour,
A cough, then the lift of a latch, then the
door
Groans open, and horror! Four walls of
stone
Are gorgeous with llowei's and frescoes of
bone!
Thei - e are bones in the corners and bones on
the wail;
And he barks like a dog that watches his
bone,
This monk in brown with his bed of stone—
Yea, barks, and he coughs, and that is all.
At last he will cough as if from his cell;
Will strut with considerable pride abou
Will ieap through his garden of bones, and
smell
Their odors, then talk, as he points then
out,
Of the virtues and deeds of the dead who
wore
The respective bones but the year before.
So he thaws at last ere the bones are
through,
And talks and talks as he turns them about
And stirs up a most uncomfortable smell;
Yea, talks of his brown Read brothers till
you
Wish them, as they are, no doubt, in—well,
Avery deep well. * * * And that may be
why,
As he shows you tho door and bows good
bye.
That he bows so low for a franc or two,
To shrive their souls and to get them out—
These bony brown men who have tt eir
home,
Doad or aiivo, in their cells in Rome.
What good does he do In the world? Ah,
well
Now that is a puzzler. * * * But listen!
He prays.
His life is the fast of the forty days.
And then when the thief and the beggar fell
And had died in tho way! When the plague
came down,
Then who was it cried to those men In
brown
When other men fled? And what man was
seen
Stand iirm t > tho death but the Capucin *
And when life’s day dwindles to dusk and
gloam.
Why there kneels my Capucin Monk of
Rome.

fTifiE cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, and is made into a very even

Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by thjs
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than tho card r>> >m.
*arThere is al-o a great saving ->r room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac

Langley, S. C., April 14, I§7B. \
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen, f neve been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, wltn Eveners, for more th *r two vears na t at the . v trrm Mill of trie
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the mo-t satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, w e have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against fire.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
