The Oldest Democratic Paper in the
State of Georgia.

CURRENT topics.
The Republican game of bluff an<f brag
did not win in the canvass, and it will not
win now.— Baltimore Gazette.
President Tilden’s popular majority in
the United States is now ascertained to be
400.000 or 1,200,000, counting out negroes.
These four hundred thousand men are ask
ing why their votes are not respected by
Kellogj, Chamberlain A Cos .—Day Book.
The New York Sun gives vigorous ex
pression to the general opinion when it
says: “The Governors of the States of
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana have
shown themsolves during the past week to
be the three most impudent liars in the
country.”
The New York Commercial Advertiser
says: “The tipple in New Orleans must
oe very exhilarating, judging from the
wonderful dispatches Henry Watt*r*on
is sending broadcast over the country.”
What then must we judge to be the po
tency of the beverage which inspires Zach.
Chandler's dispatches?— Balto. Gazette.
The Springfield Republican, which sup
ported Hates, now says: “There is occa
sion for all the best qualities of the Ameri
can people—courage, faith, patience— the
purpose to do no wrong, and the determi
nation TO SUBMIT TO NO.NB.
That pretty poetry about the ballot be
ing “a weapon surer yet and strong
er than the bayonet,” executing “a free
man’s will as lightning does the will of
God," is suspended until further notice
from Gen. Gbant, Zach Chandler and the
New York limes.—Nashville American.
Gen. Gbant, in assuming to interfere
with the counting of the Presidential votes,
says: “No man worthy of the office of
President should be willing to hold it if
counted in or placed there by fraud.” To
this the Boston Post responds: “That is a
sentiment that would not have been un
worthy of the immortal Washington and
we should all take courage could we forget
‘Let us have peace,’ and ’ let no guilty man
•scape.’ ” a
Of the old thirteen States which, by their
united efforts, establshed American lde
pendenoe, nine cast their electoral votes for
Uncle Sammy Tilden and but four for Mr.
Hayes. The following are the old Revolu
tionary States which voted for Tilden :
Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland
New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Virginia. The follow
ing four of the original thirteen voted for
Hayes: Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Uncle
Sammy carries the original States by more
than two to one. Let us not cheat the “Old
Thirteen," for we would have n opportu
nity of electing a President had It not been
for them.
New Orleans Correspondence Baltimore
Sun: There was a remarkable scene at
the Custom House to-day, which was wit
nessed with singular sensation by the vis
iting gentlemen here. The United States
Marshal was engaged in paying off some
of his negro deputies who officiated at the
election in this city. There were two or
three hundred of them congregated in the
corridor leading to the Marshal’s office,
dirty ragged and filthy, smoking nasty
pipes, uttering the most horrid obscenity,
and scowling at the white citizens. The
stench which arose from their presence
was so unbearable that the strangers who
looked on were glad to depart. It was
through files of such creatures as these
that the bankers, merchants and business
men of New Orleans were compelled to
walk up to the polls to deposit their bal
lots. It looked as if the Marshal had pur
posely selected the most degraded, igno
rant and beastly of the negro race for his
officers. It was the general expression of
•trangers: “God help the country if the
election of a President is to depend upon
them!”
Philadelphia Times: It is not doubted
that the people of those States voted In
g#od faith for Mr. Haybs, and that they
meant to do it in perfect obedience to law,
and the language of Gbant would well
apply to such a case that “no man worthy
the offioe of President should be willing to
hold it" if counted in by a legal technical
ity that defied the plainly expressed will of
a State. The country can well afford to
have Mr. Hayes or Mr. Tilden as Presi
dent; but it cannot afford to see either the
trloks of the law or the pollution of reck
less politicians foist a man into the Presi
dential chair in utter disregard of the sov
ereign verdict of the country. Let quib
blers who are hovering over Vermont and
Oregon, and tricksters who are laying
siege to the integrity of Louisiana and
Florida, learn the same lesson—that this is
a "government of the people, by the people
and for the people,” and that it “shall not
perish from the earth.”
Albany Argus: If State Boards of Can
vassers are to appoint Electors at their
will, and without regard to the certificates
of the local canvassers, free institutions
perish from the earth. This fact may as
well be looked squarely in the face at once.
Gentlemen must not nndertake to decide it
on the ground of their preferences for ei
ther one of the contestants. They must
decide it in accordance with the possiblli-
ties the proposition contains. Four years
ago Louisiana alone claimed this right.
Now, South Carolina and Florida propose
to follow the precedent. Four years hence
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio may do
the same thing. And when these States
take up the practices of the desperadoes at
at the South, what hope will there be for
obtaining an honest expression of the will
of the people? Popular Government per
ishes from the earth, if the Returning
Boards or State Canvassere undertake to
set aside the verdict of the ballot box.
Patbick Henry, in his speech before the
Virginia convention of 1779, during the de
bate on the acceptance of the Federal Con
stitution, the powers of the Government
being under discussion, said: “Sir, the
military powef ought not to interpose till
the civil power refused. If this be the spirit
of your new Constitution that the laws are
to be enforced by military coercion, we
may easily divine the unhappy consequen
ces which will result from it. * * Man is
a fallen creature, a fallible being, and can
not be depended on without self-love. Your
president will not have the same motives
of self-love to impel him to favor your in
terest. His political character is but tran
sient, and he will promote as much as pos
sible his private Interests. * * * In 1688
the British nation expelled their monarch
for attempting to trample on their liber
ties. The doctrine of divine right and pas
sive obedience, was said to be commanded
by heaven, was Inculcated by his minions
and adherents. He wanted to possess with
out control, the sword and purse. The at
tempt cost him his crown. This Govern
ment demands the same powers. I see rea
son to be more and more alarmed. I fear
it will terminate in despotism.”
Since the Democracy regained Ala
bama, the State securities have in
creased in value fifty per cent., the
penitentiary has become a source of
revenue, immigration is increasing,
and the public schools are prosperous.
This is a frightful statement to Radi
cals who help Gbant to help thieve*.
A Sweet-Scented Independent—War
or Peace P
Senator Newton Booth, of Califor
nia, was elect©** as an Independent to
serve the State ip- the upper Houaie of
Congress, He owes his election as.
much to the Dafiwumey mAovthe Ee£
publicans, and he never would have
been made a Senator had he not pre
dated fcijaaelLiu. neutral tints to
both parties. But his subsequent ca
reer has unmasked him as a windy
risy. In the,Senate he, eut.no figure
at an, becatsfo tfaer blhtknt 1 stumpr,
speaker is out’ of his element theret
During the Presidential canvass, he
consorted with Blainh and Mobton,
i and, in his speeches for Haybs, gave
his hearers weak imitations 1 of SJob In
geksoll. His last utterance is reported
in the San Francisco ChrdHicle and runs
thus : '' il
“...enator Booth— ln the way matters
stand at present, in ease the final declara
tion of the choice for President depended
upon the acceptance of the vote ot one bf
the Southern States to which troops had
been sent, the House would inevitably re
fuse to allow it to be counted in, and an ap
peal to iorce would be necessary in order to
settle the matter.
“Reporter—What do you mean by foree?”
“Senator Booth—Physical force—tear.
“Reporter—But don’t you suppose that
in order to save the country from the visi
tation of another war, the Democrats
would be willing to concede a little in the
•vent of matters coming to such a crisis ?
“I do not. They have a UDited South,
while there is a divided North, and they
would feel they held the power, and would
refuse any concessions, and I think it is
remarkably fortunate for the country that
we have a Republican President, who is
also commander-in-chief of the army, so
that, in the event of any serious oom plica
tions, the Government has at its head a
man who will see it protected. There are a
good many reasons why trie Democrats should
not be suffered to gain control of the Govern
ment."
If there is to be any war over the
Presidential electors, it will be hounded
on by jut such fellows as Blaine,
Chandleb and Booth, who are valiant
oniy in braggadocio, and do all their
fighting by proxy. We can understand
why the Radicals should, as a last des
perate expedient, crave bloodshed be
tween the States. They have power
which they do not like to relinquish,
and there are crimes recorded against
them in the public archives which they
have hitherto hidden from the light of
day, but which the Democracy would
lug forth for' public inspection. Theee
are some of the reasons why tne New
ton Booths do not wish the Democracy
to get control of the Government. If
they get control, in spite of the Booths,
we have been warned to expect bon
fires in the Departments at Washing
ton. The desperate Radicals seem to
be fatally bent upon invoking the
sword, and, that failing, to produce the
torch.
The South does not want war, but
peace. But the Mobtons, Grants and
Booths seek to rule or ruin. We at
the South are not deceived. We shall
rejoice at a Union brought into happy
and prosperous relations under a man
like Tilden ; but, if the Radical con
spiracy, by any chance, should suc
ceed, we know, for a certainty, that
future ages will record that the true
freedom t f the Republic perished, by
the hands of Radical conspirators, in
its centennial year, and that the last
stand for Constitutional Liberty failed
at Appomattox Court House. We
patiently await the event, and the
North can choose either horn of its
dilemma.
The Marietta Journal thinks Kel
logg’s Board will “Chablib Ross the
returns.”
The Baltimore Sun says “Gov. Col
quitt, of Georgia, is a civil service re
former in earnest.”
Ex-Governor Wickliffk, of Louisi
ana, who lives in East Feliciana Par
ish, avers that the colored Democratic
Club there numbered eleven hundred.
Kenner, negro member of the Louis
iana Returning Board, used to be a
waiter in a gambling saloon and was
discharged for robbing the proprietor’s
till.
Cazenove, negro member of the Lou
isiana Returning Board, is an under
taker. He is more than willing to help
bury American liberty, if white men al
low it.
Kellogg will not speak to Senator
Hamilton, or Maryland, because that
gentleman said in debate that the pen
itentiaries of the land held many cul
prits more innocent than the bogus and
bayonet Governor of Louisiana.
The only well authenticated case of
intimidation in East Feliciana Parish,
Louisiana, was that of a white man
who was publicly whipped by the ne
gores for leaving the Republican party.
Shebidan will not stop at the St.
Charles Hotel, New Orleans, because
when he was there before he was hissed
every time he showed himself in the
rotunda. So, so, Piegan Phil, of ban
ditti reputation, has a thin skin and a
long memory.
The Baltimore Sun’s New Orleans
correspondent says: “The Hon. Sam’l.
J. Randall, whose analytical mind has
gotten down to the bottom facts, as
sures me that he is perfectly satisfied
that when the case is fairly put before
the people of the North, it is bound to
come right in the end. He does not, of
course, expect the Radical politicians
to surrender without a struggle, but
with the people against them, of which
he entertains no doubt, their struggles
will be in vain.”
The New Orleans correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun furnishes this pen
photograph:
Senator McDonald and several others
called upon Kenner this evening, one of
the negro members of the Returning Board
He is proprietor of a small rum mill, with
a billiard saloon containing one table, in
the rear. He came out from his saloon In
hts shirt sleeves and talked to the gentle
men, who had remained seated in their
carriage. He informed them that the Re
turning Boat and would meet to-morrow, and
would fill the vacancies In Its membership.
Outside of this the conversation was
mostly on general subjects. One of
Kenner’s carpet-bag friends came up and
plucked him by the sleeve to express disap
probation at his holding any intercourse
with Democrats.
Jere Black’s {Solution of the Electoral
Vote.
Hon. Jebe Black does not take much
stock in the points made against the
Vermont and Oregon Postmasters, but
thinks “the reported case in Wisconsin
more liable to furnish ground for a
struggle. The case reported was, that
an office-holder bad been nominated by
ike Republicans for elector; that be
f re the election the Republican State
Committee discovered the error and
substituted another man; that a good
many ballots bearing the name of the
disqualified elector were circulated,
and enough cast to defeat the substi
tute. If this is so, said Judge Black,
and the Democratic elector who re
ceived the highest number of votes
received more than the substituted
Republican elector, the Democrat is
unquestioobly elected, for the ballots
must be counted as they read, and not
as they were intehded.”
In the course of his conversation
with se Philadelphia 'Times reporter,
J udge Black advanced the startling
idea that the issue of the present con
test will result in the election of Tilden
and Wheeleb, In the following manner:
He believes Louisiana and Florida gave
a majority Tor Tilden, but that the
vote ot each will be counted for Hayes,
and as a result the votes of those States
will be thrown out by Congress when it
shall meet to oount the electoral vote.
This will throw the election ot Presi
dent into the House and of Vice-Presi
dent into the Senate. The former
would undoubtedly elect Tilden and
the latter Wheeler.
Possibly this is the compromise hinted
at in the Freeman’s Journal As old
Father Ritchie used to say, Nous ver
rons.
While many negroes in Louisiana
are the tools of wicked Radicals, maDy
more, at the peril of their lives from
men of their own color, voted the
Democratic ticket. As Kellogg offered
to bet $5,000 that not twenty blacks
voted for Tilden, the New Orleans
Democracy have raised funds enough to
bring thousands of them to the Cres
cent City and thus, by living witnesses,
attempt to shame the shameless man
who has been permitted to usurp the
Government of the State.
The New York Express touohed the
Herald on a raw spot, the other day,
and now the Herald yells out that Mr.
Tilden and Mr. Hewitt will be “held
responsible for the utterances of
their organ, the Expi % ess.” No doubt
Mr. Bbooks will give Mr. Bennett as
good as he sends, and particularly re
mind the public that his paper is not
the organ of Mr. Tilden any more than
the Herald is the organ of Grant, Kel
logg and Stoughton, nay, not half so
much.
