J. B. RANDALL, Editor.
The Oldest Democratic Paper in the
State of Georgia.
CURRENT TOPICS.
In Massachusetts Bctler la elected to
Congress, k and he will take with him to
Washington one of the wretchedest Con
gressional delegations that could well
have been got together.—A’ew York Na
tion.
“Let no guilty man escape.”- U. S. Grant.
[And now we And this man Grant pardon
ing Avery and McKee. What justice can
the people expect from a man like him?
If the contrast between Chamberlain
and Wade Hampton was striking before
election it is doubly so now. The former
is “touchy” and vulgar in all his state
ments; the latter speaks like a states
man and an honorable and dignified gen
tleman—Nnc York Express.
I think Hayes is elected, because we
have got three Returning Boards— General
Butler.
The latest noose: A Philadelphia Qua
ker bet $1,500 on Hayes and then hanged
himself.
Two thousand United States soldiers In
New Orleans to see that Louisiana is
counted for Hayes.
Collector Casey, a brother-in-law of
Grant, telegraphs Kellogg : “Stand firm,
boys, the President is solid.” That means
that Grant will do all in hiu power to pro
tect the carpet-bag swindlers in the South.
The brokers in the Berlin stock exchange
have been annoyed by the apparent leak
age in the ceibng in the Bourse, from which
drops of muddy water pattered down occa
sionally. An investigation revealed that
the water was really the exhalations of the
hot and excited financiers, which, rising to
the ceiling, there became condensed.
Andrew Jackson was once making a
stump speech out West, in a small village.
Just as he was concluding, Amos Kendall,
who sat behind him, whispered, “Tip ’em a
little Latin, General. They won’t be con
tent without it.” Jackson instantly
thought upon a few phrases he knew, and
in a voice of thunder wound up his speech
by exclaiming, “E pluribus unum—sine qua
non-ne plus ultra—multum in parvo!”
The effect was tremendous, and the shouts
could be heard for miles.
A rumor of dreadful import has gained
circulation to the effect that the concert
hall air, “Tommy, Make Boom for Your
Uncle,” has gained popularity in France,
and is being arranged for the hand-organ*
In the words of Patrick Henry, “The next
gale that springs from the East may bring
to our ears the clash of resounding”
•‘Tommy, Make Room for Your Uncle.”—
Chicago Tribune.
Everybody is saying clever and kindly
things of Antonelli, now that he is gone,
and the old diplom it was the pi easantest
of men in a meeting. With men opposed
to him he had the kindly and charming
way of his great opponent, Count Cavour.
It was said of him that he never despised
or irritated an enemy; he never missed a
chance of making a friend. A good anec
dote is told of a very Radical English M. P,
who had to ask the great minister for a
passport. Cavour immediately granted
him free passage in a man-of-war, with or
ders for all kind of exceptional privileges.
The Briton immediately replied, “I must,
tell you in fairness, Count, that I am utter
ly opposed to you in politics,! wish Italy to
boa republic. I am a Mazzinian, not a
Royalist.” Cavour immediately rose,
grasped his hand warmly, and said, “Many
thanks. Now you make me the more anx
ious to show you every courtesy; you shall
hare an escort on your arrival—and would
you wish free passage also for your wife
or other friends?” In some such spirit An
tonelli met English politicians whom he
knew to be enemies to the Pope.
If there has been any “misrepresentation”
and “calumny” about the Returning Board
of Louisiana. Messrs. William A, Wheel
kb, George F. Hoar and Chares Foster,
Republican Congressmen, William Wal
ter Phelps, Independent, and Clarkson N.
Potter, Democrat, are the men who are
responsible for it. They, after full inves
tigation, pronounced judgment against the
Board and the integrity of its acts. It is
discredited in advance by the highest of
Republican authority, and, if there has
been any “mischief” done, the men named
have done it, A Return ng Board that did
in 1874 what these distinguished gentlemen
said this Returning Board did have no
ciaims to the respect or confidence of the
country. There Is no safety for it, but to
accept the local returns just as they are
sect in to it; or, if they reject any, only
such as respectable representatives of both
parties examining into the facts will say
they ought to reject. Of itself, we repeat,
the Board has no standing before the pub
lic, and has no right to any. A Presidency
obtained through their acts may well be
disputed by either party. The country
ought not to acquiesce, 'in any judgment of
this Board, that is not vindicated by its
own honesty and wisdom, and approved
by witnesses of both parties.— Springfield
Republican.
Capital: There can be no doubt that the
people of the United States, including a
majority of the supporters of Mr. Hayes
at the polls, believe that Mr. Tilden is
elected; and while they will recognize Mr.
Hayes as the Chief Magistrate, they will
for the first time fully realize the rotten
ness of their own party. We regard Mr.
Hayes’ receiving the electoral vote of the
three Southern States as a signal, not for
war, not for riot, not for despair, but for
a strong revulsion of feeling in the North
and West that men will only wait for the
opportunity of vindicating at the polls
what may be lost at New Orleans—the
honor of the country and the integrity of
Republican institutions, We believe that
if Mr. Hayes goes into the White House
the President of a large and living mass of
corruption, he will go out of it the citizen
of a purified people, who have regenerated
themselves by burying the Republican
party.
From a private letter received in New
Orleans, from a gentleman residing in
Washington, and long engaged there in the
prosecution of claim 9, the Picayune is per
mitted to make tin following extract: “My
conviction is very clear that the electoral
vote of Florida, Louisiana and South Caro
lina will be given to Haves. The Republi
can party never intend to give up this gov
ernment. If you knew as much as I do
about the venality, corruption and villainy
of those in power here, you would not and
could not be surprised at their tenacity of
purpose to hold the government. With a
Democratic administration would come a
thorough and complete investigation of
the various departments, and there would
be exposed corruptions and the perpetra
tion of wholesale swiudlea and gigantic
frauds, such as would appall and startle
the nation, and their perpetrators could
not escape condign punishment. To the
loaders of this Republican party civil war,
with all Its attendant horrors, is prefera
ble to such profound and personal disaster
as would follow the inauguration of Til-
DBX. Do not, therefore, delude yourself
■With any false hope. Grant means war;
eo does Chandler, Cameron, and I firmly
believe the Senate. The Republican lead
ers are a unit upon the question."
The Radical Conspiracy Will Not Pay.
The commercial interests of this
country are suffering unspeakably at
this time,-and they know exactly where
to lay the blame. In the desperate
effort to maintain power, by force or
fraud, tfiejffepublican leads*® are rain
mg the country in the forlorn hope of
saving themselves and their dyiDg
cause. If the tJlecLkjl_lD£ President
were to be gone over again, with the
lights of Returning Boards before the
people, Mr. Hayes would be swept out.
■>f sight by the electoral as well as pop
ular vote of the States. As it is, the
very apprehension that he may be
lugged into the Presidency by the infa
mous Louisiana Board, backed by
Grant’s protocol and Sheridan’s bayo
uets, is paralyzing trade everywhere.
How different would have been the sit
uation had Tilden’s election been sub
mitted to promptly.
The New York Herald, sobered by
its raid into the Express office, has
returned to its normal state, and reads
the Republican party a lesson that
would be more efficacious if the peo
ple had any confidence in its being
stuck to by the editor.
Referring to the tricks of the Louisi
ana Returning Board, the bad charac
ter of its members, and the strong
partisan flavor of the “small attorneys”
dispatched by Grant to New Orleans,
the New York paper says: “The Re
publican leaders cannot afford to count
in Governer Hayes without such pre
cautions about the count as shall
absolutely set at rest all doubts upon
the subject. They cannot afford it,
because to do so would outrage the
sense of fair play and honest dealing
which lies at the bottom of the Ameri
can character; because the uncertain
ty and doubt resulting from a well
founded suspicion of wrong would
make themselves felt in the most
deplorable condition of business; in a
shock to National and private credit;
in the depreciation of our bonds; in the
sending home of American securities;
in a general feeling of insecurity, which
would send gold into the fifties or
higher; would paralyze industry and
trade; would cause thousands of busi
ness failures, and would in fact bank
rupt the country.”
Not content with stating the naked
proposition of ruin that now depends
upon two dishonest white men and two
disreputable negroes in New Orleans,
the Herald broadens out in its scope of
calamity, and emphatically says: “We
will grant everything to the Republi
can leaders; grant that they observe
every particle of the bad laws they
have enacted down there; grant that
they not only count in Mr. Hayes, but
carry the count through Congress;
grant that they actually install Mr.
Hayes in the White House on the 4ch
of March; and, after all, if they have
not completely satisfied the intelligent
public opinion of the country that the
the court is just and hone3t, nothing
they can do will give either content or
security or permanence to the general
interests of the country. All industries
and commerce will be struck with
paralysis. No capitalist will venture
on enterprises; no merchant will dare
to lay in a stock of goods, because no
prudent consumer will buy more than
he needs from week to week; no sensi
ble man will buy our bonds or hold
them; no manufacturer will venture to
produce beyond his actual cash orders;
credit between man and man will be
gone; the number of the unemployed
will increase tenfold; poverty and want
will overwhelm the country.”
The Herald has not over-stated the
truth in its classification of woes that
would result in the possible Presidency
of Returning-Board Hayes. We have
no doubt that Blaine, Morton, Chan
dler. Ingersoll, Don Cameron, Ben
Butler, and even Grant, would dare
even revolution to resist a rightful
Democratic succession, provided they
thought the people would submit to
such an outrage. But if we read our
exchanges, East and West, aright; if
we mistake not the character of Gov.
Tilden ; and if we are not totally de
ceived as to the potency of the voices
of patriotism and commerce every
where, the conspirators against the
Constitution and the Union will draw
back before venturing the abyss, and
‘•shooting the Niagara” of open vio
lence.
Colorado —Another Lion in the Path
of Radicalism.
To use the expressive language of
Senator Norwood, “difficulties rise like
Alps upon Alps before the Republican
party in their attempt to count Hayes
in and Tilden out.” The Democrats
hold the advantage nearly everywhere,
and, the Radical conspirators are, like
Baradas in Bdlwkr’s play, obliged to
take every trick, or lose their heads.
In case the Returning Boards of
Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina
perpetrate the frauds marked out for
them, Mr. Hayes is still very far from
winning the game. Hon. Joseph Pu
litzer has shown how many weapons
are in the hands of Mr. Tilden, but he
did not enumerate all. We are in
debted to the Chicago Tribune, which
has exhibited a remarkable spirit of
justice lately, fora suggestion full of
pith and moment. That great organ
of the Northwest says :
It would have brought balm to the most
dismal Tildenite during the doubtful days
intervening since Wednesday last to have
known that in any event Congress has it
in its power by the rejection of the Colora
do State Electors, to give effect to the
popular demand for a change. Though
Colorado has gone through the prelimi
nary formulas of the State existence, there
are some details dependent upon Congress,
without which the vote of the electors can
not oe counted in February. Should parti
sanship proceed to the length of counting
the vote of Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina in favor of a repudiated system,
the House still has it In its power to end
the contest peaceably. The law providing
for the admission of States into the Union
requires, among other things, the adoption
of a constitution by the people of the terri
tory, which shall be in comformlty with
tho laws of Congress and the Constitution.
This State Constitution must be ratified
by Congress before the incipient State can
assume its Federal relations, namely send
ing Representatives to Congress and cast
ing the electoral vote for President and
Vice-President. Congress at its last ses
sion, however, stepped outside of regular
order of State admissions and authorized
the admission of Colorado by an enabling
act which made the President the final
judge of the constitutional

•latrtoua commonwealth. tfitS"ConßlttUtlofi
is not approved by a two-thirds majority
in b th Houses.
We believe the points made by the
Tribune have much soundness in them.
At any rate, we may rely upon Presi
dent-elect Tilden organizing such a
contest as the country has never before
witnessed, and winning a victory for
the Constitution and Uniou against the
Centralists of 1876 equal to that gained
by Jeffbrson in 1800 over the impe
rialists of his time.
A great many persons are impa
tiently asking why does not Mr. Til
den do something. Mr. Tilden is
what they are not —a patient man.
He does not proceed blindly and im
petuously, but with calmness and
precision. He moves exactly at the
right time and. with the force of a
giant. We have implicit confidence in
his wisdom and courage, and, thus im
pressed, are oontent to await his pleas
ure in making moves in the tremendous
game for the Presideacy, which in
volves Constitutional Liberty and the
prosperity of all sections. We may be
assured that he has no doubt or hesi
tation as to the future, and, when the
proper time shall have arrived, he will
demonstrate his position to the perfect
satisfaction of his friends and confu
sion of his enemies.
The True Attitude for the Democracy.
The Worcester Press, a Democratic
paper published in Massachusetts, has
the ring of the true metal when it
speaks as follows concerning the atti
tude which the party of the Constitu
tion is warranted in maintaining at this
crisis: “It is now established beyond a
doubt, and is conceded by most of tbe
Republican newspapers, that the Dem
ocrats polled a majority of the votes
actually and legally cast in Louisiana.
It makes no difference whether they
have the majority by one vote or ten
thousand, it is a majority, all the same.
In point of fact, the majority for Gov
ernor Tilden in Louisiana is between
seven and nine thousand. That elects
him President of the United States, to
say nothiag of the votes to which he
is entitled from Florida, and in all pro
bability from South Carolina. Just as
sure as the sun rises on the day of the
Inauguration of the next President,
just so sure will Samuel J. Tilden be
inaugurated. There is no power under
heaven that can prevent the consum
mation of this hope of the great major
ity of American citizens. He is legally
elected; he must be seated in the Pres
idential chair; and he will be seated in
the Presidential chair. This is no time
for the Democratic party to show signs
of weakening, to express fears that they
will “count us out,” to acknowledge
tho possibility of being cheated out of
their dearest rights by the desperate
men who now propose to control the
government and the people for the
present and for all time by the employ
ment of military force. These men are
looking for just such signs and such
acknowledgment. If they see signs of
weakening on the part of the Demo
cratic public they will be correspond
ingly strengthened in their desperate
purpose. If they see nothing but cour
age and confidence—an unalterable and
unconquerable determination to stand
up for their rights and protect them—
they will abandon their Infamous pur
pose; for they are cowards at heart.”
That’s the right sort of talk, and no
mistake. If a majority of the Demo
cratic party tamely surrender to fraud,
and throw up the sponge at the shadow
of Grant’s dictatorship, of course the
Radicals, thus invited, would have a
“walk over” in the race for power.
But, thank God! the weak-kneed breth
ren are in the minority in all sections,
and the majority, knowing their right,
will dare maintain it against the Radi
cal rebels.

country merchants who buy olose for cash or on approved city acceptance, we believe
we can do as well or better for them than they can do in New York, and to the city trade
