“INTIMIDATION.” The Way the tJeorclans “Tcmtlzc" Ncjrroes Into Voting the Democratic Ticket. [From tlits St. Lomu Rcpnlilicun. ] So much in being said riow-ii-dayn about iut.iiuidation nnd heroism of negro voters at the South that the following illustration of the way it is done will become of interest, as show ing how negroes were intimidated into voting the Democratic ticket (luring the recent election in (ieorgin. A correspondent of the •an re cently travelling in the South saw at Chattanooga a number of negroes, who, in charge of a white boss, wen on their way to work on the Cincin nati Southern Hoad. 1 hey had had been doing railroad work in < teorgia. Entering into conversation with the white boss of the gang the corres pondent asked if the report tlyit the (roorgia negroes largely voted the Denierratic ticket, was true. “Oh yes,” was the reply, “n great many of them did. All the gang you see here with me voted the Democrat ic tide t at Home. “Ho .v did yon induce them to do so; by threats or by persuasion V" The man laughed. “There is old Click Nelson,” said lie, pointing to a Cong ' patriarch who sat on a pile of lumber with a cane in his hand and a venerable looking carpet hag at his feet. “There is old lhide Nelson; he carries water for tile gang week days and preaches to them Sunday s. Ask him, lie will fell you. The correspondent approached the venerable African with “I’ncle, they tell me you are a Democratic darkey and that you preach Democracy to your congregation. How is it ? “Well, boss, 1 guess yon'se beam about right, i votes de Democratic ticket when I. down in Jorjy.' “But 1 thought, lTide, that all the negroes voted the itepublieui ticket always unless they were scared away from’ the polls, or scared into voting the Democratic ticket ?” “Lor bless you, chile, I sc neither scart no way. I done vote de way de boss axed rue to, ail’ so did all de bal ance, cos .1 * boss tote tar wid us, an do de right t'iug.” “Tell me about it.” “Well, yon see, one day de boss he s. tv, ‘Boys, Iso done been to Home and had you all registered to vote.’ Den he say, “Boys, come up to my shanty, I'se got some oh de true Dem ocrat doctrine up dur.’ So we all toiler de boss up to his shanty. Den he bring out a big demijohn an' a cup an' hail' rotin’ de whisicy. Poweriu. good whisky dat. ‘Boys,’ lie sa.v, ‘dat whisky come all the way iroui Kentucky. Democrats made it in a Democratic still, out of Democratic t an, an’ lsc just poured it out of a Democratic demijohn into a Deiuo 11aide cup for you ail to drink.’ Den we au luff. ‘Hoys,’ do boss say, ‘Bimeoy de ’lection come. Deu I gin you all holiday. Your pay go on us same as if you to work all day. c all go down to Home an hah a good time. 1 pays all de bills. You have all de good Democrat liquor you want.’ “Well, den, in two or free weeks de boss come agiu one nignt an’ says: ‘.Bovs, come up to my snanty; more ob dat true Democratic doctrine up dar.’ So we all go. Deu he tiring out dat same Democratic demijoun and pour out dat same Democratic liquor into dat same Democratic clip. I tell you it mighty good. Den ue boss he say: ‘Hoys, we all go down to Home au' hub a good time to-mor row. Heaps o’ fun. 1 pays all de bills. Ail de whisky in Home jis like dis -Democratic. You vote de Dem ocratic ticket an’ dat whisky make you all fat. But it pi/.en ehery man dat votes de Radical ticket right away.’ Den we uli laff. \\ e know de boss jokin’ bout dat pizeniu’, but we make up our min’ to vote de Demo cratic ticket cos de boss tote Ja r wid ns an’ we want to please him. So we ail go down to Home an' inarch right up o de polls like a company ot sol diers, vie liosS at tile head, all vote de st.-uig!it Democratic in-xor. De boss he keep ius wold, pay all de bills au’ de boys iiubu gran good time.” “But, uncle, didn't you see any Radicals there, and ilidu t they try to persuade vou to vote tne Radical tick et ?” “Oh, vis, dar some Radicals dar. But dey didn’t sav unyting. De lacu am, de Ji.tdieais don t say much m Jorjy. Dey used i>> her party lively down dar, Ulit (lev's got Ured an' son o’ restin’ now. “Would you have voted the Radi cal ticket if they had asked you tor” “No, I reckon not.” “Suppose they nud asked you, and you had voted tile Kad.e.u ticket, would the boss have made any trouble for you ?” “No, de boss he not make any trou ble for us. iiowsomeeboer, f speck lie might pester tie Radicals if dey in terfere will its. i beam him tell a Radical dar, dis as we was waitin’ to git a chance to vote, dat it 'wouldn't pay b. ..i more dan one cent on de dollar to fool wid deni darkies.’ ” “ W'uat ihd ttie boss mean by that ?” “I spose he mean want he say. Anyhow, dat Radical lie seem to un derntan’ what lie mean pulfectly.” “Who was the Radical, did you know him?” Yes, I know him. He word ess sort ’o felier. Come dar bout seven years ago from Hie Norf. lie hold good many offices while dat man Bullock govner. Bin out of oilis though a good while now. He tritiin sort ’o chap, play cards inos' de time “Do you suppose your boss would have hurt him it' lie had uii.jrferred with yon or tried to persuade you to j vote the Radical ticket?" •No, L reckon not. De hose he very quiet man. Do.it say much. But 1 speck he might hurt somebody if dey poster him too much. Dar was no danger, dough. Dat Radical he uu derstan’ wliat de boss mean and he keep away from de boys. Dili's all.’’ “Is flic boss a Southern man ?” “Lor’ bless you. no. He coTTiedowi liyar wid Sherman’s army. Den lie ! wounded at Ketinesaw an’ sent hack to dis place ((Tmttannoga ) ini' when he git well ho go to work on de rail* i roads,” “Do you know what State he is ' from ?" “No, I don't dat for shurli, but I speck, cf 1 ain't mistaken, lie conn from Ohio.” At this juncture “the boss” came ■up ami told his men that the train . they were going North on was back , nig down and they must get ready to get mi hoard. “Did you find out wliat you want ed ?” he asked laughing. The correspondent replied that h< had, and asked the man wliat State In* was from. He said from Cleveland. Ohio, and ; had been doing contract work on rail roads in the Smith since lSiiti. Hi spoke very bitterly of the ear] iet-bag- gers; said they were paralyzing busi ness or trying to, and denounced the : convention in session at Chattanooga in unmeasured terms. The correspondent then related wliat the old negro had said about the white Radicals, and asked the : man what lie would have done to him if he had interfered with his negroes who were going to vote. “I would have belted him over the head with the barrel of my revolver,” he replied. “That fellow Cady,whom Click* Nelson was s; caking of. is the most miserable and contemptible s in ten States. I knew him in Cleve land before the war. He never was a soldier, but followed t lie army as a sharp and a gambler. 1 would not permit- any siieli scum to have auy ! thing to say to my negroes. Give him a chance to work on their minds j a day or two, and half of them would j quit me and stay loafing about Rome, j doing nothing. That's why I object to liis having anything to do with them." And this is tcrroism in Georgia. Preserving Sweet Potatoes in Cotton Seed. [From the Southern Cultivator.] Editor Southern Ci i.i ivator. Hav ing seen several articles recently in tile Cultivator as to the best mode of putting up sweet potatees for keeping, 1 1 am rather surprised at not seeing something about cotton seed for that mtrpose, as they are kept in cotton seed here, perfectly sound, from one ; crop to the following. The potatoes should he dug as soon as possible af ter frost; and, if this cannot he done lat once, the vines must be cut oft' dose to the ground immediately. When the vines have been frosted, fermentation sets in very quickly, and the products of tills fermentation Tire conveyed to the potatoes, render ing it difficult or impossible to keep them sound under any plan. Our mode of putting them up—audit lias proved very succe sful is as fol lows : On the floor of an airy house - or, even an open shed will answer spread cotton seed to the depth of six inches, upon which pile the pota toes, where they are to rein tin sever al days with little c'r no covering, if the weather is not too cold, until they have gone through what, is termed Un sweating process; then cover with seed two to four inches thick. Per haps, in your latitude, it might he necessary to make the covering of seed somewhat thicker; though, here, :in latitude thirty-one, two to four inches is ample, except in an unusu ally cold snap, when more seed may be put on, and raked off when the , weather moderates. This is a cheap and effectual way of keeping them. I send this item, with the hope of its benefitting some of your readers, as a small return l'*.r the valuable and varied information I derive from the ] Cultivator. Will it do to sow Red Rust Proof oats in the fall, or are they essential ly a spring oat ? Does this oat maintain the high reputation it acquired when first in troduced ? GR \NGER. Bayou Rapides, La,. Sept, lath. LS74. In our experience the Rust Proof •at will stand cold as well as any oili er variety; it is very extensively sown | from August to October, in Middle : Georgia. In all ses where the seed is pure, it maintains its early reputa tion. AVe have heard of some rusting J I where the seed was impure -as a gro t deal of it is. It will not grow ; ligh enough to cut on poor land, if the spring is dry. In all other re-; spects, it is a most admirable oat, j Eor the last four mouths our mules have been fed on them in the sheaf, (cut up,) without a grain of corn, and j I have kept in tine order, though con stantly at work. Ed. So. Cult. A Riscoiii'.igml Humtspoutloul. The Tribinx's special New Orleans ! correspondent complains as follows, under date of the Hitli inst.: lam growing discouraged. When I came to Louisiana stories of outra ges, intimidation and tcrroism in tin Gulf States were pouring into the of fice of the Attorney General at a rate : which led me to think that before the j day of election there would be few j i colored Republicans left to tell the ! tale. Nearly four weeks have passed and lam still patiently waiting for material for at least one letter to he devoted to this exciting subject. My vaise has been packed to go with on at a moments’ notice to any part of i the State where the whippings, the j assassinations and the massacres may lie reported in progress, and, in or der that nothining of the sort might escape me, 1 have haunted the news paper offices by day and by night, and vigorously questioned and cross-ques tioned every citizen arriving from “up the river,” “down theriver,” “the Red river country,” “the Teche,” or any j other section reported l>y_ Kellogg to be in a bad way. But all in vain, j The outrages are not forthcoming; and yet the period of my sojourn ill j Louisiana lias been one of the most j eventful anil exciting in iu decidedly i eventful and exciting history, SAVANNAH A I>VIiIITISKMENTS.
