AUGKTSTA, GLA..: 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. French Finances.

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. GEORGE G.

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.
