J. R. RANDALL, Editor.
fljfte Oldest Democratic Paper in tie
Stateof 'Georgia.
CURRENT TOPICS.
If Mr. Hates be elected, the South and
the Democrats never will believe, and could
hardly be expected to believe, that he has
been fairly chosen. They will regard them
selves as the victims or a fraud.-London
Newa.
The Washington Chronicle Is going to be
sold for debt in a few days. This paper
has been a volcanic organ of the Grant-
Haves treasonable combination, and its
collapse seems to portend the collapse of
the diabolical plot which it has supported.
The Republicans have given the negro
the suffrage under the protection of the
ballot-box; they have passed stringent
laws to exclude the possibility of intimida
tion; they have planted Federal officers,
judicial and executive, in every State, to
sec that the law Is carried out, and they
have sent down an army of Federal sol
diers at the crisis of the election to secure
the preservation of the peace. If, after all
this, they complain that the majority
which ought to have voted for Hayes was
prevented from doing so by intimidation,
or defeated by fraud, they must not expect
to receive any attention from reasonable
men.— Pall Mali Gazette, London.
Logan labors under the delusion that,
because Grant has indorsed him, the Illi
nois Legislature will re-elect him to the
Senate. Logan is one of tjie few men who
do not know that Grant’s indorsement is a
positive damage to an individual’s charac
ter. Grant indorses McDonald, Joyce
and Babcock ; also, Johnny Davenport
and Billy Chandler ; also, Decoy Bliss ;
also, Kellogg and Packard ; also, Cham
berlain.— Courier-Journal.
The Journal of Commerce: "Though the
Post Office hands throughout the country
might be all honest men, and not for a mo
ment to be suspected of the veiy grave
offence of opening a letter for any purpose,
they could still liud a way of doing their
party friends a good turn without commit
ting a crime. They could give the prefer
ence to their own party in tho sending out
or distributing newspapers and circulars
and political appeals of all kinds, and delay
or keep back, with one excuse or another,
the mailing and distribution of all the
‘campaign thunder’ of the other side. This
is the variety of abuse which political com
mittees and publishers have been most
accustomed to denounce. The only cure
for these evils Is the separation of the Pos
tal service from the immediate control of
the politicians.”
The New York Herald publishes an inter
view with Col. John S. Mcsby, in which
the following occurs: “If,” said Col. Mos
by, “there shall be any lighting as the re
sult of all this political business, I shall be
on the side of Gen. Grant and the Admin
istration. I have read what Gen. Shelby
said to one of the Herald correspondents in
St. Louis, and I stand precisely where he
stands. He promises to raise a regiment
in Missouri to sustain Gen. Grant if he
shall inaugurate Gov. Hayes (that is if it
shall bo necessary to do so), and I will un
dertake to do the same.thing in Virginia, in
less than twenty-four hours.”
Murat Halstead was the victim of one
of Sothebn’s practical jokes, during the
actor’s recent visit to Cincinnati. The edi
by the receipt of telegrams from all parts
of the country, and on all sort* of subjects.
Finally, they began to come from New Or
leans from prominent gentlemen of Cin
cinnati. He was implored to go down
thereat once; he was upbraided for not an
swering messages never received; he was
consulted on matters of which he know
nothing. Finally, came this one, that fair
ly madehis gray hair stand on end: “The
worst has come to pass. The citizens have
risen and are bulldozing the Returning
Board. The streets are ankle-deep in
blood.” Uttering a gasp of agony, lie
seized his hat and rushed to the office to
find the whole thing a hoax. Mr. Halstead
is renowned for amiability, and says he
has forgiven Sothern and loves him like a
brother-in-law, but Sothern sleeps with
one eye open nevertheless.
Correspondence of Boston Herald: The
question now is: What Senator is to lead
the revolt against the conspirators? There
are significant indications that Mr. Blaine
is thinking of trying to head the move
ment. Blaine’s friends have been talking
for a day or two about the necessity that
exists for men to rise above party and act
like statesmen. Mr. Blaine has the
strongest possible reasons for endeavor
ing to propitiate the Democrats. Ho has
been at work ever since ho returned, to
head off the investigation in the House,
and to prevent Mulligan, Fisher and
Frank Hayes from being called here as
witnesses. Of course the Democrats in Use
House will not push the investigation, this
winter, if Blaine shows a disposition to
act fairly in the electoral count. Enough
has transpired hero to warrant tho state
ment that Mr. Blaine will not antagonize
tho Democrats, and therefore that he will
not sustain Morton and Chandler. Mr.
Blaine is not anxious, there is the best
authority for stating, for the inauguration
of Hayes. 11c has discovered that the Re
publicans who are opposed to him, and
who would like to see his railroad transac
tions fully exposed, have possession of
Hayes, and that ho has not much to hope
from Hayes’ administration. He thinks ho
would have a better chance, fouryeais
hence, if Xilden were to become President
for the intervening period. His aim Is to
stop the investigation now, and to keep his
head above water by playing his old role
of a moderate and conservative politician.
Mr. Blaine’s family has not yet come
here. Were tho investigation to go on, it
would be necessary for him to leave the 1
city at once, but if he can tide It over, this '
winter, as he may, he will not abandon
political life, as he has been seriously
thinking of doing.
The conspirators tvho are trying to steal
Hayes in have suggested another plan as
a last resort to endeavor to create a divi
sion in the Democratic party. They have
about abandoned all their anticipated bold
strokes and come to the conclusion that the
end will bo that the election will be thrown
into the House. The Republicans would
get the small end of the bone in such an
event by defrauding Hendricks and forc
ing on Wheeler, the moiety of the goods
they want to steal. In view of this very
probable result they are industriously cir
culating through the organs that the elec
tion of Tilden and Wheeler by the House
and Senate respectively is in the interest of
a compromise concocted in New York by
Gov. Tilden. The hope is that they can
arouse a feeling in the West that such is
the case and induce the friends of Gov,
Hendricks to get up a sentiment of revolt,
create a lively diversion in the ranks of the
Democrats, and by taking advantage of it
force Hayes in anyhow. The election of
Tilden by the House and Wheeler by
the Senate Is not a compromise. The
House would elect the straight, honest
flcket which the people have chosen, but
there is no provision in the Constitution
which empowers it to choose a Vice-Presi
dent. The choice of the latter office is with
the Senate, and that body has not enough
honest Republicans in it who would unite
with the Democrats togivo to Hendricks
what belongs to him. If it had the Repub
licans would not force the issue Into jither
House, but abide the result as shown by
the face of the electoral returns. Let not the
friends of Gov. HKNDBiOKsfce deceived by
the latest Invention of the enemy. Eminent
lawyers here say that If the Senate should
elect Wheeler Vice-President In o*se of
the election of President being thrown iato
the House, Gov. Hendricks oould sue out
a writ of quo warranto before the Supreme
Court on the ground that Wheeler was
holding an office to which he had not been
elected, in contravention of the of the
people, and that a case certified at every
point of the law coold be submitted which
would give Hendricks his rights.
CHARITY,
The pilgrim and stranger who through tho
day
Holds over the desert his trackless way,
Where the terrible sands no shade have
known,
No sound of life save the camel s moan,
Hears at last, through the mercy of Allah
to all,
From his tent door at evening tho Bedou
in’s call
“Whoever thou art whose need is great
In the name of God. the Compassionate
And Merciful One, for thee I wait.”
For gifts in his name of food and rest
The tents of Islam of God are blest. •
Thou who hast faith in the Christ above,
Shall the Koran teach thee the law of love?
O Christian! open thv heart and door,
Cry east and west to the wandering poor :
"Whoever thou art whose need is great,
In the name of Christ, the Compassionate
And Merciful One, for thee I wait.”
John G. Whittirr.
Georgia Agriculture.
Commissioner Janes sums up his
latest Agricultural Report as fol
lows :
“It is gratifying t# know that so
large a portion as ninety-three per
cent, of the correspondents report a
general disposition on the part of the
farmers to still further diversify their
crops and to give more attention to
raising stock. This is sustained by
the statement that eighteen per cent,
mftre pork has besn raised for the
shambles this year than last.
“There is cause for congratulation
ia the general determination on the
part of the farmers of the State to
abandon the speculative system of
farming which has proved so disas
trous to the productive resources of
the State within the last ten years, and
to conduct their farming operations on
a more business-like basis.
“Everything considered, agriculture
is on a more substantial basis in Geor
gia than at any time since the late
war.
“The farmers of the State will find
it necessary to pure hase but little on a
credit next year, and they are urged
to continue the same wise policy in the
future that has guided them this
year.
“With economy and prudence in the
purchase of commercial fertilizers, care
in husbanding home manurlal re
sources, and a proper combination of
the two, followed by a judicious appli
cation of them to the soil—with a con
tinuance of the wise policy of a diver
sified farming, already so auspiciously
organised—resulting in full barns, and
a proper attention to raising stock,
we may expect at no distant day to Bee
Georgia the most prosperous agricul
tural State in the Union.”
Governor Smith.
correspondent, which we publish else
where in this issue, the term of office
of Governor Smith draws to a close
under circumstances highly to his
credit. We are inclined to think that
in his modest and unobtrusive way
Gov. Smith has done the State a meas
ure of serviao greater than is generally
supposed, though the general sentiment
of the people is much iu his favor as
an able nnd efficient Executive. He
has been eminently a practical Gov
ernor, and the results of good sense
and hard work are manifest in the good
corMition of our public affairs. It was
certainly a great achievement to take a
State from such keeping as Bullock’s
and in a few years raise its credit to
that of the most prosperous Northern
State, and it is not surprising that Wall
street has great admiration for a man
capable of organizing such results.
Gov. Smith has given a tone to South
ern credit which has acted and will }
continue to act most beneficially for
our people. It is also the case that he
has kept the peace and allowed our
people to pursue their avocations un
disturbed by dissensions inside of the
State br apprehensions of interference
from outside.
Tho New Seuator From Illinois.
Wo believe there are an equal num
ber of Democrats and Republicans in
the new Illinois Legislature. Be that
as it may, however, we are certain that
six Independents hold the balance of
power and can elect a United States
Senator in place of John A. Logan by
going with either party. Among the
Democratic candidates we notice ex-
Senator Lyman Trumbull, a Republican
Senator for twelve years, but for tho
last five years in full political accord
with the Democratic party. His return
to the Senate ought to bo satisfactory
to the Independents in the Illinois Leg
islature as it certainly would be, un
der the circumstances, to every Demo
crat in the country.
Mr. L. Q. Washington, of the Courier-
Journal, writing from the Federal Cap
ital, says Mr. C. H. Hill, of Boston,
who was first assistant attorney-gen
eral some years ago, has lately been
there on business before the United
States Supreme Court. He voted for
Hayes, and declared that, if Hayes had
been elected, it would have been the
best thing for the country; but he had
no doubt that Tilden was honestly
elected President, and he denounces as
Infamous the attempt of the Louisiana
and Florida Returning Boards to count
him out. His opinion is that the sepa
rate act of the Senate in declaring
Hayes elected would be absolutely null
and void. His idea is that if foisted
into the Presidency by the help of
Chandler, Cameron and Taft, Hayes
will retain them in his Cabinet. He
does not think that General Bristow,
or any man of his class, would be ten
dered a place in Hayes’ Cabinet. Mr.
Hill was a Bristow mau, and believes
that a majority of the Bristow men of
Massachusetts think as he does, and
that at the proper time the business
men of Massachusetts will speak out
in condemnation of the present intrigue
of the machine politicians.
Where the Electoral Votes are Counted
In 1789, 1793,1801 and 1805 both
Houses of Congress met in the Senate
chamber to cdunt the votes for Presi
dent and Vice-President. In 1797, 1809
and every year since the meeting has
been in the Hali of the House of Rep
resentatives, the President of the Sen
ate taking the Speaker’s chair and the
Speaker sitting at his left. There
seems to have been no particular rea
son why the change was made except
that as the number of members of
Congress was continually increasing,
the Senate Chamber became too small
to hold them and resort was had to the
Hall of tho House as it was a much
larger room.
They Don’t Like It
The Georgia paper which egged on and
Justified the Hamburg (8. C) massacre con
tinually utters twaddle like this :
Muscle by muscle the liberties of the peo
ple of the North are perishing. What the
sword left of our freedom the legal abomi
nations that polluted the ballot have well
nigh finished. Mournfully the South may
behold the wreck of such glorious institu
tions ; but she will have the consolation of
knowing that her record in history, war
ring for the rights of tho States, will be
brighter than that of her brethren who
made a monster and were devoured by
him.
The Augusta. (Ga.) Constitutionalist
(what a name for such a paper!) Is still
groaning over the abolition of slavery. In
its eyes, liberty and everything dear, or
worth preserving or having, perished when
the fetters were struck off tho limbs of the
colored race in the South. It will never
dry up its tears for this “Lost Cause.”—
Mournfully it beholds the wreck of the snm
of all villainies, which it lovingly calls the
“glorious institution.” This Augusta fire
eater is frantic to have Tilden counted in,
for some reason not clearly explained or
avowed. Perhaps it thinks he might help
to recover some of the “Lost Cause.”—
Chicago Ti'ibune.
The Chicago Tribune, in the above
article, starts out with a double false
hood. The Constitutionalist never
“egged on and justified the Hamburg
massacre.” We were as much surpris
ed at its occurrence as any one could
be, and simply put the case fairly be
fore the people when it had occurred,
just as Gen. Butler afterward did, and
just as Gov. Chamberlain himself ad
mitted. For months Gen. Butler has
endeavored to get this matter put upon
trial before the Republican judges of
South Carolina, but iu vain. Ho has
challenged investigation, and offered to
prove facts that would damage the
Radical regime immeasurably.
We beg leave to assure the Tribune
that wo do not “groan over the aboli
tion of slavery;” but we are still of
opinion that tho XlVth and XYth
amendments to the Constitution have
done more to destroy the true Repub
lican institutions of our forefathers
than any other agency. Nay, we are
convinced that they were so designed
and intended. There was a time when
Mr. Morton, of Indiana, sketched the
evils consequent upon their adoption,
and Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts,
was equally explicit on the same line.
How many enlightened men in the North
to-day, with the fear of God before
their eyes, will rejoice at and approve
suffrage ? Indeed, since the" South has
1 siezed, for self-preservation, this wea
i pon which has been so mercilessly
1 used for her debasement, and turned it,
• in pure desperation, upon her sworn
foes, we begin to hear, East and West,
that negro suffrage is not what it ought
to be. It has become, at last, a case
of goring by your bull or my ox.
Does anybody believe that the woes
now menacing the Union in every vein
and artery would be so terrible and
almost unendurable, if reconstruction
had never been launched upon the
country ?
The direst evil now portending is
thr.t rorced by the use of the military
power in the hands of an ambitious
soldier. The New York Sun, of a
recent date, sketches the situation
exactly. It says; “Mr. Conkling’s
reputed suggestion that if things are
allowed to go on in their present way
a little while longer, Senators might be
obliged to have their tickets punched
by a military officer before being per
mitted to take their seats, hits the nail
on the head. He would have been
even nearer the mark if he had said
members of the House. If the tactics
put In operation in Louisiana in 1874,
and in South Carolina jn 1876, are right
for those States, they are right for
Congress.
“If Hayes is inaugurated by fraud,
according to the present programme,
we see no icason in the action of the
present Administration to forbid the
supposition of the exercise of tho mil
itary power in the same way it was
used in both those States when the
new Congress comes to assemble.
“To be sure, the public mind does
not admit the possibility of such in
conceivable effrontery. But it Is an
old proverb that the descent into hell
is easy. We may add that people are
often on the way when they do not sus
pect it.”
Of course, the Chicago Tribune does
not like to be reminded that the mon
strosities practiced upon the South
have returned to plague the inventors
of them. Nor does it relish the
idea that there must be a recur
rence to first principles to insure the
salvation of the country. The “Lost
Cause” we weep for, if we weep at all,
Is the causo of Constitutional liberty
which is now put upon a final tdai in
the United States, amid most dismal
circumstances. We wish Mr. Tilden
to bo counted in, not to restore slavery
nor yet to disturb the political status
which exists in law ; but to bring back,
as far as possible, the ship of State to
her old moorings and permit local self
government in all the States, unvexed
by Returning Boards, alien or native
thieves, and military tools of the
Central Power.
