Democratic SnnHmeiifs vs. Capi
tal ami emigration.
In the last ]}a : abridge Sun Whitely
Bays: ‘'The poverty o! the people of
Georgia is due to such sentiments
(Democratic) which warn capital and
emigration to avoid us as they would
a pestilence.” That is cool! How
much capital and emigration have
llowod into South Carolina, where
Radical sentiment prevail? And
there is poor Florida and Louisiana.
How rich they have grown under
Radical sway! Verily, Wliitely’s
irony is cruel. Now, if ho would talk
about a rich Radical office-holder we
might see the point of the joke. But,
alas! experience has shown the richer
these vampires grows the poorer be- 1
comes the State and people.
Rule and lit tin.
Whitely, in the last issue of his pa
per, the Bainbridge Sun, quotes a few
extracts from what he finds in Demo
cratic papers “to point the people to
the fact that rule or ruin is what they
(the Democrats) mean.” Well, truly
it does seem that if the Democrats do
not rule, the South is ruined. The
question- is simply to be ruled by
Democrats or ruined by Radicals.
Reader, which do you prefer? But
the Radical party might be more
properly characterized by the apo
tliem—Rule and Ruin. For where is it
that they ever have ruled without pro
ducing ruin? What country have
they ever built up? What State has
prospered under their administration.
Look at Radical Louisiana ; it is rule
and ruin. South Carolina, the same;
Florida, ditto. Yes, ruin the country
that a few office-holders may grow
rich.

This gentleman has been nomina
ted by the Democrats of the Second
Congressional District as their candi
date for Congress. Mr. Hartridge is
known over the State as a man of
splendid talents, an elegant orator,
and a true and faithful Democrat. If
elected he will take rank at once as
one of the leading members of the
House, and every Georgian will feel
proud of the Representative from the
First District.

pr Rights Riii.
Civil Rights Bill is conceded
to boa Radical measure, and one
might suppose that if they were
agreed upon anything it would be
upon this question which hs been so
much discussed, and which at this
particular juncture constitutes the
great distinctive difference between
the parties. We find, however, that
their views upon this bill vary in dif
ferent latitudes, and even in the same
location they are changed to suit the
notions of those addressed. In up
per Georgia where there are but few
black people, the Radicals oppose
ci\il rights, and claim if to lie a meas
ure injurious alike to both races.
Further South, where the negroes
predominate, Raidical candidates are
civil rights men. But even then their
constructions vary according to the
color of tlioso they are talking to.
For instance, if speaking to a black
mail, it means social equality, and no
1 distinction of race or color, in ears,

hotels, schools, fco. Of course Ave i
have not lu-aril any of these pretend-;
ed friends of the black man in then
private conversation, but what their
teachings are can fairly be inferred, i
from the views of the negroes them- j
selves. These disciples but reflect
the professed sentiment of their in- j
structure. At Duncanville, in Thom
as county, not long since, a negro by
the name of Carter, in a public speech, j
boldly proclaimed “that we would ;
not only have mixed schools kc., but
that the negro men would soon have
white wives, and before long we
would not know there was ever any
difference between the black and white
man; that while the South might dis
like it, they would be compelled to
submit to it.”
Now who was it instilled these no
tions into the head of this sable Car
ter? Evidently some white man, for
if left to himself ho probably would
never have known there was such a
thing as the eivii rights bill. And
yet when talking to white men some of
these Radicals deny that there is any
social equality in the civil rights bill.
One view is to catch white votes, the
other to catch negro votes. Tim long
and short of it is, that no honest man,
white or black, ought to vote for these
double-faced hypocrites. If you do,
you are sold. But vote for honest
men, who will tell you the truth,
whether it suits you or not—-who will
not pander to your prejudices to
swindle you out of your votes, then
you will know what to depend upon.
Bishop Haven—His Slanders and
Falsehood How He Came to
he Bishop.
It seems that a Bishop of lire North
! em Methodist Episcopal Church has
i been traveling South, and gratified
his malice and hatred to us by wri
-1 ting slanders and falsehoods about
our people for the Northern press.
] While out here, it seems that he
i found the society of negroes much
| more suited to his taste than that of
tho whites, and as the latter were
| glad to bo rid of the reverend tradu
j ccr, they doubtless let him severly
| alone to enjoy himself with his chosen
| associates. It may he that this
; church dignitary felt himself neglect -
jed by respectable people, and hence
! his wrath and indignation,
i We do not propose to go into an
j expose of all his misstatements, but
| merely give one in regard to tlie con
! dition of things in our own section as
| a sample. He says, in speaking of
j the wrongs and oppression inflicted
j upon negroes and union men: “But
! four colored men are hung at Tliom-
asville, not by a mob, but by the
Sheriff and Governor, on a charge of
which every body believed that three
at least were innocent;” and ho after
wards adds that “tho negroes and the
union men dare not vote.” We know
here that the four negroes alluded to
were fairly tried, justly condemned
! and executed, according to law, and
j so far from “everybody believing that
three at least were innocent” the uni
versal sentiment of the people sus
tained tho finding of the jimy.
But that is not further from the
truth than the last sentence we quo
ted, that “the negroes and union men
dare not vote.” Why, in this very
county of Thomas, where Bishop
Haven would have you believe ne
groes and union men have no show
ing, the Radicals have carried the
election by largo majorities ever since
reconstruction. The very Sheriff that
summoned the jury to try these ne
groes that hung them after they were
convicted was a Radical, elected by
“negroes and union men’ (Radicals.)
The Clerk of the Court that tried
( them and recorded the sentence is a
negro and a Radical , elected by negroes
over a white roan, and yet Bishop
Haven says “ negroes anil union men
dare not vote."
Wo asked a friend, who nocrocd to
know something of the history of this
distinguished Bishop, how camo it
that the Northern Methodist Church
elected such a notorious liar to such
a high position. He explained that
probably tho pressure was upon them j
to elect a negro Bishop, and as they <
did not want to do that,they thought
thev would satisfy them by doing the
next thing to it, and so elected Ha
ven. Now, it may seem lmrsh to
publish such a remark, and if, upon
reflection, we think an apology is due 1
for it, wo will apologize to the negro.
Radicals and Negro Office Holders.
Howell Clavton, (Radical,) United
States Senator from Arkansas, has
issued a call for a grand convention
of the faithful in the South, to be
held in tho city of Atlanta. As this
convention has been recommended by
leading Radical Congressmen and ox-
Congressmeu and State Executive
Committees, it may, therefore, bo sup
posed that the Arkansas Senator, who
nets as the mouth-piece for those high
functionaries, ought to be considered
as good authority. In his address he
admits that it tons not the object of the
Reconstruction ncj to make the negro an
office-holder, hut the intention was for
THE WHITES to hold the offices while
the negro was instructed. Now, verily,
the negro ought to feel under great
obligations to tlieir Radical friends.
The negroes were to have the glori
ous privilege of voting the white car
pet-bagger and scalawag into office,
but they themselves must be kept out.
There is not much profit or honor in
voting, and therefore the Radicals ;
were willing to allow the negro this
poor privilege; but in bolding these |
offices there is sometimes a little j
honor and large profits, therefore i
these were to be monopolized "by the
whites of their party. Now, if an
officj is elective and the Democrats
have- the majority these white ,friends ;
are perfectly willing to let a negro.
Radical run for this office and take
the heating, while they, perhaps, hold
some position, by Federal appoint
ment, secure from tlie accidents of j
Democratic majorities. How very |
charitable to the negro! A\ ill they
never understand that all the pro-;
feastd love and friendship of the white
Radicals of the South for their race
springs from pure unadulterated sel
fishness !
The New Radical Candidate for
Senator.
After Joe Smith, of Thomasville,
became sick and disgusted with the
rottenness and odium of the Civil
Rights Bill, and declined to accept
the nomination of the negroes for Sen
ator from this the Seventh District,
we did not think another white man,
who was not already in office, could
ibe found in the three counties of
Brooks, Thomas and Colquitt, who
: would lot himself down to the level of
a negro and eccept the nomination.
Such an one has been found, how
j ever, in the person of one Willis W.
Watkins, of Colquitt, who has signi
: tied his willingness to mako the negro
\ his social companion and equal, and
accord to him the right to ride in the
i same coaches, eat at the same tables,
and share tlie same accommodations
with him at all times and at all places
j of public, entertainment.
On last Saturday the negroes held
their second nominating convention
in Thomasville, and declared W. W.
Watkins tlieir choice and nominee.
Of course they would never have used
; his name in this connection, if they
j had not been perfectly satisfied as to
how he stood on the great issue of
j the day and their pet measure, the
1 social equality bill. That this white
skinned man disgraced himself and
| his Caueassian parentage by express
ing himself in favor of this malicious
ly designed and odious measure is
made evident by liis receiving the
nomination from the race and party
who originated it and are forcing it
upon all respectable white people as
the great issue to be made in our ap
proaching elections.
We are told that Watkins was pre
sent at the time of his nomination,
and that ho thanked his equals for
the honor they had bestowed upon
him, and in liis speech of acceptance
ho uttered many high-sounding ne
gro-loving sentiments, which delight
ed liis mongrel hearers and were ap
plauded by them with enthusiasm.
Wo are truly sorry to see another
white man lost to all self-respect and
acknowledge himself and the proud
race he now disgraces no better than
a negro; but ho lias done it volunta
rily, and as our people are thoroughly
aroused by the momentous issue be
fore them, he may prepare himself to
suffer defeat at the ballot box, and in
after life seek the companionship and
society of liis equals.—the negroes.

Atlanta Constitution : Btdow we give
j the aggregate value of th e taxable,

: ngement of the present Comptroller,
| Hon. \V. L. Goldsmith. It will be
! seen that during his administration
I (here has been an increase in the tax
able property of the State of more
than twenty-nine million of dollars.
This increase is due mainly to two
. causes. First, the repeal by the
Legislature of the S2OO exemption
| clause. This measure was earnestly
advocated by Mr. Goldsmith, upon
the ground that it increased the
amount of taxable property, distribu
! ted the burden of taxation more
equally among the people, and pre
vented a great many frauds. Second,

Hon. A. H. Stephens was 'renomi
nated for Conaress from the Eighth
District at the Convention hold in
Augusta on the 2nd iust. It seems
from the following, which appears in
the Chronicle and Sentinel of the 4th,
that Mr. Stephen’s nomination, or
rather the manner in which it was
done, has created considerable dis
satisfaction :
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel;
Upon reading your paper this morn
ing I was surprised to learn that the
name of Mr. Stephens was even
brought before the Congressional
Nominating Convention, and astoun
ded to learn that lie was nominated.
The convention has certainly placed
him in an unenviable and a false po
sition. No gentleman of Mr. Ste
phens’ high sense of honor certainly
would be guilty of the double-dealing
and duplicity which the proceedings
of this convention bear upon their
surface. After he had plainly and un
equivocally declined the nomination
over his own signature, and told at
least one candidate that he positively
would noi, run, and then, as is charg
ed, write private letters seeking the
nomination, ami stating that he would
accopt\t, is trickery wholly beneath
that exalted character I always ac
corded to this illustrious Georgian.
This matter requires explanation.
If such letter or letters were ever
written they should bo published,
and allowed to speak how far tho del
egates were authorized to press his
name. As the matter now stands it
leaves many friends of the opinion that
ho has “stooped to conquer.”

Tho following is an extract from a
speech made by one Jack Carter, pas
tor of a colored church in the Dun
canville District of Thomas county,
at a public meeting of the negoes oil
the ffiltli ult., at which a number of
white citizens were present by invita
tion of a prominent colored man who
had been instrumental iu calling the
meeting. We lay it before our read
ers just to show them of what impor
tance it is that we should he “up and
doing” and to give them a faint idea
of w hat will ho the inevitable result of
defeat fry Whitely and his followers.
After indulging in expressions of the
most intense hatred and bitterness
towards the white race generally, this
blood-thirsty fiend and apostle of So
cial Equality, delivered himself in
terms substantially as follows:
The negro is better than the poor
white man now, and we nu'i'.i to be
“put equal” with any white man. Wo
mean to go into the biggest hotels and
the best railroad ears with tlie white
men ami wom< u. We mean to fix the
law that a black man can take any
white woman for a wife when he loves
her and wants her; we mean that the |
law shall say there must he no sepu- j
rate schools for white and black man’s [
children, and it wont be long before
they will not know there ever was any
difference between white and black.
"I t will make you mighty sick at first
(refering to the few whites present,)
just as tlie mancipation made you sick,
but you’ll couieinn ighty pretty when
you find you can’t help yourself.’'

A number of Southern students,
Mr. Jenkins among them, had just
returned to the university from va

them at the entrance of the chapel,
and enquired of them how affairs
were prospering at their homes.
Hearing from all a discouraging ae

“Let me tell you, young gentlemen,
the only hope for the restoration of

the means of immigration.”
