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. lion. Julian Hurtridgo. 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. (feorftin Musical Eclectic.

Smith, of Valdosta, has been nominated by the Democrats of Lowndes as their candidate for Rep resentative. Capt. Smith, if wo mis take not, was ouce sent to the Legis lature from Bryan county. He is an upright, honorable gentleman, of fine, sense, and if elected (as, of course, he will bo,) will make a very efficient member. r- Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown lias written a letter to the McWhorters denouncing the Civil Rights Bill, and recommending that every Southern gentleman, uftite with the Democrats j .to defeat the Radical party. anil tin* Civil 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, psPrs. Wy 1874. 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.

They appointed a commit tee to retire and report the names of suitable candidates, but the house re fused to accept or ratify the report of the committee, and tho whole thing wound up in a row. We learn that they were to have held another meet ing yesterday. The Valdosta boys gave Slippery Dick Whitely a tin paning as be ar rived in that town on last Thursday night. Old Uncle Josh Griffin met i Dicky at the train and carried him | home with him, and as the lovely pair j approached the house, surrounded by : not loss than a hundred tin pans, horns, cow bolls, dinner gongs, Ac., I old man Josh is said to have remon | strated with them in this way: “Come, i now, boys, don’t make such a fuss. I say, fellers, you’ll scare Polly and ! the children.” The boys “hadn’t or iel - done that way.” Atlanta Constitution : Btdow we give j the aggregate value of th e taxable, \ property of the entire State for the present year, us well as.the increase : over last year. These returns are ta ken from the books in the Comptroll ! or’s office. They make a very flatter ing showing for tho State, and reflect j much credit upon the efficient man : 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, The rigid instructions which were is- sued from the comptroller’s office to the various tax receivers requiring them vo lie especially careful in hav ing property returned at its true val ue. The increased revenue of this year will go far towards meeting the first installment of the Nutting bonds, and may possibly leave a surplus to be applied to the payment of the in terest on the balance. The returns are as follows; Aggregate value of whole ‘P r< ipert y, 1874 $273,092,999 Aggregate value of whole property, 1873 259,883,(523 Increase.. . 151.709,876 Taxable property of 1874. $278,093,999 Taxable proport v after deducting SSO(A,f 18751. 242.4:17,382 Increase of taxable prop erty .$ 30,505,617 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.” Georgia. M liat it U Coming to. 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.

Mr. -Joliu F.

Mr. Jenkins closed bis very practical re marks by referring to an observation made to him and others, at Lexing ton University, by the lamented Gen. Lee. A number of Southern students, Mr. Jenkins among them, had just returned to the university from va cation at home. Gen. Lee received them at the entrance of the chapel, and enquired of them how affairs were prospering at their homes. Hearing from all a discouraging ae ( count of evils arising from the politi cal machinations of bad men using ig norant colored voters as instruments !of mischief, the old General said: “Let me tell you, young gentlemen, the only hope for the restoration of prosperity at your homes is through the means of immigration.” The U.
