The Democratic Vic lory anil Ilia
Price of Rutter.
[From tin? Albany Journal, Nov. !>. ]
We heard a story yesterday in re
gard to a confiding Democrat, ail hon
est, simple-minded laborer, lie at
tended a number of political met tings
during the campaign just closed, and
swallowed, with unquestioning faith,
all that the Democratic orators told
him as to the intimate relation exist
ing between hard times and Repub
lican rule, and, of course, drew the
inference that the election of Mr.
Tilden meant times just the opposite
of hard. Yesterday morning, having
mastered the elctiou news, he seized
a plate handed him by his esteemed
helpmate, and in accordance wit h her
request, hied him to a neighboring
grocery store and requested to ho
served wish a couple of pounds of
the best butter. The energetic and
urbane clerk in attendance lost no
time in placing it. upon the proffered
plate. Then, while he was in the act
of laying a delicate sheet of white pa
per on {he top of the butter to pro
tect it from dust on its way to its des
tination, tlie purchaser asked what
there was to pay. The energetic and
urbane young clerk, who was]
quick at figures, replied: “Two
pounds at forty-eight cents a pound—
ninety-six cents.”
At these words the l'acc of the ens
ftomer, which up to this point had
v\ reathed with smiles which the eiee- •
ition news had invoked, became over-]
.spread with an expression of aston
ishment and anger. For a moment
or so his emotions rendered him
•speechless, and then in a lound voice
he broke Firth:
’’yli'orty-nte tints! O, mtisha.
mu >ha ! The devil fly away wid ye;
was|i't that what ye was after charg -
in' me Mnnda ?”
Tlie urbane clerk explained that his
customer was right —lie had been
charged forty-eight cents on Monday,
and the price in the meantime had
undergone no variation,
‘•Dili ye take a squint at the Argus
this morning, me by?' queried the
■excite 1 party before the counter, at .
tlie same time exhibiting to the clerk
a copy of that sheet freighted with .
Democratic victories. The intelligent
clerk replied that he had seen the Ar
gus, and added that he was much ela
ted at the news.
“Ye’ve seen the news, ye say that? '
“Yes, sir; I’ve seen the news.
“Yes, ve’s know that Tilden is elec
ted V”
“Yes, sir; lain aware of that fact.
"An’ Air. Tilden elected ye’zo
chargin’ me forty-ate ciuts a pound
lor butter, just the same as on Mun
du.”
The clerk, as good humored as he
was urbane, explained that the elec
tion of Mr. Tilden had not the sligh
est effect upon the butter market.
The too confiding Democrat hung his
head a moment and then handed out
ninety-six cents in full for his butter,
•and then, as be passed out of the
grocery, pitched the Argus into the
gutter. _____
The Future of the Negro.
He 'Will be Safer Under Democratic than
Under Republican Rule.
Prom the New Yoik Herald.]
We have no doubt that the rights
of the negroes will be more secure in
Democratic than in Republican hands.
It is the tendency and effect of the
Republican policy to array the ne
groes in hostility to the heat classes of
the Southern population, and thereby
obstruct the ascendancy of intelli
gence, character and property in
Southern polities. Negro suffrage
has proved to be a great evil, chielly
on account of the divorce effect in the
South between numbers and intelli
gence. The Southern blacks have
been formed into a political party un
der outside guidance and control—a
party which had a set of interests, or
supposed interests, separate from the
general interests of the Southern
community. In a healthy state of
politics there is a “solidarty ’’ of feeling
between the prosperous and the poor
er classes, and although there may be
two parties—as there always are in
free countries—they are composed on
both sides of the rich and poor, the
intelligent and the ignorant. It is
the prerogative of intelligence to con
trol ignorance, and the chief evil of
Southern politics since the war lias
consisted in such an organization of
the blacks as has arrayed them in op
position to enlightened local feeling
of the communities with which their
lot is cast. But as soon as Federal
influence shall cease to control the ne
gro mind, intelligence and capacity
will re-assert their, sway, and negro
voting in the South will boas safe as
the immigrant vote has always been
in the North. The Democratic party
will have no temptation to deprive
the negroes of the right of suffrage,
because it w ill have no difficulty in
controlling the negro mind when the
patent Federal influenc co-operates
with local intelligence instead of frus
trating and defeating it.

Georgians Listen.
To Tire Editors of the Herald :
I send to you, without leave of the
author, a letter 1 received this morn
ing from a Georgia planter, who has
been seriously thinking of moving to
Nebraska. The writer is a polished
gentleman, and his whole family is
one of rare culture and accomplish
ments. This letter was written in
reply to an earnest remonstrance
against the impolicy of the step he
contemplated, and after all the so
lace and encouragements 1 had to
offer had been set forth. My friend
is capable of correctly estimating the
troubles of the situation if any man in
Georgia is, and let me assure you,
that it is not possible to exaggerate
the number of instances, and the ap
parent hopelessness of them, that are
to be found all over Georgia and the
South, which find their typo in rgy
friend’s desolate condition. Is there
any relief? "Who is in earnest about
this risk of salvation V Won’t you
gentlemen of the press interest your
selves: leave oil the efforts so lou '
wasted on a mere legal and literal
triumph of party, and give your in
valuable aid in building up the State,
and building from the foundation. It
really seems if you will not, then we
are remediless, for the politicians will
not move a linger.
Houston County, Ga., Nov. 5, 1874.
Alv Di:.yh Sir -Permit me to thank
you for the interesting letter which
came to me yesterday, and especially
am I grateful for the interest you
evince for our welfare. lam obliged
to admit that your views are entirely
correct. It is true we should be
small farmers and high farmers. Ev
erything >ve need should be made at
home. It is for this very reason 1
wish to leave this section. In a
community crowded with negroes,
and only a handful of whites, how
can we succeed? We have tried
faithfully to make our farm self-sus
taining, hat we have failed every
year. If we could get rid of t lie negro,
we could live well on small farms, and
have plenty of stock. We have excel
lent pasturage, both summer and win
ter, for stock, hut it. does us very lit
tle good. When the war ended we ;
had on this place nearly four hun
dred hogs, and only one dog. In a
little over one year there were on the
place twenty-three dogs and four
hogs. We had also about 175 head i
of good cattle; now we ean count all
ive have on our fingers. \\ e have
good fruit and plenty of it, but we ;
barely get enough for <nr own use.
If we* push tin lie; r.) ■■ ■.V <■' place, ;
Our neighbor will be gild to take
him and then he will raid on us more .
than if we had him at home. W’iieu
we hire a negro, we must take him
with his blind mule, his dog and his i
gun. If we succeed in getting one
convicted of a misdemeanor, some
sympathizing Democrat, who has
cotton to chop, or to pick, is delighted
to have an opportunity to go on the :
bond to keep him from the ehain-
So it works all around. It is to
get rid of such surroundings and such
influences we are anxious to leave
this section. We want to gut rid of
so much negro.
I am sorry I have not yet received
your essay on “Small Farms, and di
versified Farming.” That this plan
of yours is the proper one for genu-!
iue recuperation and solid improve
ment, no sensible man can question.
Every intelligent planter will admit
that provision crops are of more im
portance than cotton in assuring*our
pecuniary independence. Still sensi
ble men continue, year after year,
practically to contradict their disbe
lief in this truth. We must make
our own supplies if we wish to get
out of this “Slough of Despond.”
A man can live on with his backbone,
but an enipty stomach will very soon
bring hint to his senses. Although I
wish to leave here, I honestly believe
this is the best farming section in the
State. We can raise everything we
need. This is the best peach country
in the world. They grow to perfec
tion here. Apples, pears, figs, and
all other fruits do well. Sugar cane
and rice do as well here as in lower
Georgia. Last year we realized more
money from one acre of Irish potatoes
than we did from our cotton crop.
We always make two crops fif Irish
potatoes from one planting, and we
have made three crops in one year,
on the same land, from one planting
of the Early Rose. Our cabbages are
every bit as good and as heavy as
those raised North. We are not dis
satisfied with the land, but with our
surroundings.
Since 1807, we have paid in Macon
—and we have the papers to show—
over $30,()()() for meat and bread and
other' supplies for free negroes. All
of it ought to have been produced at
home, but under the circumstances it
was impossible; hard times in the last
few years, after paying off our hands
and settling with the merchants, we
would not have money enough to
buy a ginger-cake. It is humiliating
to the last degree, to make the ad
mission, but it is the truth. This
slavish dependence on other sections
of the Union, shows selfishness and
culpible ignorance in the great ma
jority of Southern planters. It is
perfectly useless for a few men to
fight it. The majority are in the old
ruts, and they can’t bo induced to
pull out of them.
A spread-eagle orator wanted the wings of
a bird to fly to every village and liamlet in
the broad land,but he wilted when a naugh
ty boy in the crowd sang out, “You'd be
shot for a goose before you ha and flied a mile."
QUITMAN, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1N74.
Ten Years in Jail for SIO,OOO A
Treasury Story.
A correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette writes from Dudficld, Jeffer
son county, W. Vn„ as follows:
Your correspondent was shown the
tree a few days ago from under which
was dug the sum of SIO,OOO. The
tree is an oak, and stands on the
west side of the road leading from
Charleston to Hlicpherdtown, and
about ten miles from the latter place.
The story as it goes here, and which
is believed to be a true one. is as fol
lows: During the war an officer ot tile i
Federal army, who had charge of a ;
sum of money, a quartermaster or
paymaster, buried the SIO,OOO be
neath the tree, doing so either from
fear of its falling into the hands of
the Confederates, or it may have been
to secure it to himself. If the latter,
he succeeded, if we credit what fol
lows, which is told by parties who
saw the evidei ces of the facts
and heard the story from tlie party
when he returned to take away the
treasure.
The party—whose name was not'
given, or, if he gave one, was an as
sumed name was tried, a year or two
after the war, for embezzlement of I
government money (the same money
lie had buried under the oak in Jef
ferson comity,) was convicted of the|
charge, and sentenced to serve a term
in the Albany Penitentiary. This he
did, and the law was satisfied; for he !
declined to give any clew to the
whereabouts of the money. His sen
tence expired a few months ago, and, .
as was to be expected, he lost no time I
in hurrying to the spot, where a for
tune was to he had for the digging.!
It seems his knowledge of the lo
cality had somewhat, failed, for he j
was seen in the neighborhood for sev
eral dqys, hut one fine morning he]
had gone, and with him the money.
The ground under this tree present
ed the appearance of a newly plowed
field, having been dug up during the
night by the ex-convict, for the space !
of a rod or more. The pick and
shovel he had borrowed in the neigh
borhood he returned.
Strange as this story may appear, j
there is no doubt but that money of
some kind was buried there, and dug I
up. The amount is believed to have ]
been tlie sum stated.
THE WHITE RADICALS OF BALT!- \
MOKE iil.i I.AUK WAR ON TUEiK
COLORED DRfc/nUiKN.
The Baltimore Sun of Saturday
contains life proee^ui iig.s (n Tt iuect
in# Ol white Radicals in too J won-'
rieth ward of I hut city with the object
of forming a “white Radical voter s’
party, from which the m-gwjes were
to be excluded. Air. George Al.
Smith, one of the leaders of the j
movement, declared that the object;
of the meeting, “as he understood it,
was that they, as the white element
of the Twentieth ward—and as God j
had made them the predominant par- j
tv—were going to make the nomina-;
lion. [Applause.] If that don’t suit!
their colored friends, let them vote
with the Democratic party. What.!
the Republican party loses by their.
iiT)t voting with them, they would j
gain in those who are standing back
on account of the negroes. There
were (570 registered colored voters in [
the twentieth ward, yet at the late ]
council election the total Republican j
vote was on 789. He had begged. ]
pleaded and prayed [laughter] with!
the negroes to come out and vote, but
they would not come. The object
was to establish a white Republican
party. If the colored voters—he
would not call them colored Republi
cans, for he had seen evidences that
they were not such—desired it, they j
could choose between the white Re
publican nominee and Ihe Irish Dem
ocrats.” [Applause. ]
Air. John G. Stitcher favored “lay
ing the nigger on the shell ’ —that
the “nigger” had “killed the party and
mined it,” and Jerome Airev wanted
a committee appointed to wait on
Collector Booth and demand that he
turn all the “niggers” out of the Cus
tom House, and appoint white men in
their [ilaces. Finally the following
resolution was adopted, and the meet
ing adjourned:
“The white voters of the 20th ward
in the meeting assembled do declare
this as their platform: That we sub
mit that in view of the last elections
that we shall control nominations for
our party; that while we do not os
tracise any class of citizens from par
ticipating in our elections, we sub
mit in view of the manner in which
the late elections have gone that the
time has now come when the
white voters of the, ward shall nomi
nate the candidates of the party, and
should the colored people see fit hot
to endorse them they are at liberty to
choose between the nominees of the
‘white voters’ party and that of the
Democratic party.”
Young man, you feel a superiority
to the whole human race, as you
stand at the altar with your fair
young bride. Yen would not change
places with the President.. Yet a few
short years, a few whiskings of broom
handles, an untimely stoppage or two
of wafted flat-irons, and your weary
body will rest under the swaying wil
low, while some young gallant will
bring your late nillictod partner out
to the eemeterry on calm Sabbath
evening and whisper love in her ear,
us together they strew peanut shells
over your grave. “Oh, why should
the spirit of mortal be proud.”

A Mint With a History
Three times last week a man was !
brought into the station who was j
found on the street in an unconscious ]
slate. Saturday he was taken to the
work-house, lie has been peddling;
baskets about town, and is subject to ;
fits, falling to the ground suddenly I
and remaining unconscious for some j
minutes. Before being taken to the j
work-house he told his story to Depu-1
ty Williams.
He.was born in East Randolph, AT., j
about thirty-five years ago, and bis
name is Horace Barney. From his ]
childhood he was subject to fits, and
for that reason unable to obtain
steady employment. So he was sent
to the poor farm. Apparently they
tired of him there, for he says thej
town authorities took him to a sea- i
port, and shipped him on a whaler for;
a voyage to the Pacific. Not long af- j
ter the vessel sailed his- infirmity was!
discovered, and the captain cast about
for some way to get rid of him. The j
old stock trick of leaving him on an i
island was hit upon. As the ship was j
cruising around an island in the Pa
cific, a boat was ordered ashore for
water, and Barney was detailed as I
one of the crew. His shipmates per- j
suaded him to push on toward a grove
of trees, and then jumped into the
boat and pushed oft’ for the vessel
without him. In despair he stretched
himself upon the sand, and presently
fell into a tit.
The natives of the island found him
in this lit, and apparently were favor
ably impressed l>y liis situation, for
they took him to one of their villages
fed him, and made much account of
him. They seemed to regard him as
a great medicine man. Ho was adopt
ed into the tribe, and liis body tatoo
ed in the latest and most approved
fashion. (The tattooing is plainly
visible on his body now.) He took
one of the native women to wife, and
she had a child by him. He lived
with the savages too years, and got,
very tired of his life, longing to. get
back to his native land. One day a
vessel hove in sight, and a boat was j
sent ashore. He seized the opportn-;
nitv and escaped, coining to New |
York. Since then he has made his i
living by making.and peddling wick
er baskets. AVhat a fall, from the I

“
President Grant to be Hauled Over
the Coals by Hrs Own Party. A
AA’ashington special to the Baltimore :
Sun says: From letters received here
from leading Republican Congresmen
it is learned that it is in contemplation i
to have a party conference, as near as
possible, about the time of the, meet
ing of Congress. The purpose of the ]
conference will be to lay down a defi
nite line of policy to be pursued du
ring the coming session. The Presi
dent in his views as set, forth m these ;
dispatches, lays the blame of the re-;
cent defeats on Congress, while the)
Republicans in that body ascribe the ]
disasters to his action. They say that j
the President has made his adminis
tration too much personal and too
little party.
It is proposed at the approaching
conference to have a plain talk with ]
the Executive. Some of the Republi-!
can members argue that they would
prefer that he should act with the op
position than that he should continue ;
to claim fellowship with the Republi
can party and refuse to listen to the !
advice of its most trusted leaders. ,
Among other things which they think j
absolutely necessary for the President
to do is to remove the inefficient
and obnoxious office holders,;
such as Packard and Casey and the
like, and replace them with proper and :
capable men, and that he surround ;
himself with men of a higher calibre. !
What they want and what they say ]
they inteittl-shidl he laid down is t Tat
if the President will not act with (’ 'll
gress that,some of the same mu,:! mu
which was applied to Andrew Johnson
shall be used in his case. They will
hardly be silly enougn, however, to
try the impeachment dodge.

Boiled Corn for Poultry. —An
English agricultural paper has a very
sensible article on breeding, feeding, |
and other care of poultry, which we
should he glad to copy did space per- j
mit. Experience has proved the Avis- j
dom of the following suggestions:
If any one should suggest, that corn |
would be easier of digestion if soaked
or boiled, he would very likely receive :
the answ :r that corn was nothing i
hard to digest for birds, which swal- ■
low stones and other hard substances !
without detriment. A moment's ]
thought, however, will convince that,
the mill-stones and the grist are very j
different things, and feeding hard
grain, although not exactly like feed
ing tlm millstones with pebbles, bears j
a certain likeness to it. The trouble
attendant upon the preparation of;
food, if it, is to be cooked, may indeed!
seem very disappropriate to the ad
vantage to ho deprived from such
treatment, but in reality little time
need he spent, as before going the
rounds of the nests, a little hot water
may be poured over the grain, a
tight cover put on the kettle, and the
whole placed over the stove, where,
by the time your rounds are comple
ted, the corn will have become steam
ed and mellow, and have lost none of
its good qualities. Remember each
hen has a certain amount of animal
force to be expended every day in
some direction, and the less she has
to give to digesting her food, the
more she will have to be expended
in egg-producing.
The Vice President on the Erec
tions. — Vice President AVilson gives
the Now York Tribune his views on
the Republican defeat, and says the
result shows the necessity for a liber
al and magnanimous policy. With
statesmen for Republican leaders, he
believes the party will recover itself
two years hence. He believes the
Democrats will by their blundering
policy contribute to that end. As to
j the cause of the late defeats he said
| thousands of Republicans did not
, vote or voted against the party to
check some of its tendencies, and if
] the party adiJpt a prudent, liberal
and lofty course it will sweep the
country again. Among the other
causes were the dissatisfaction of the
■ unemployed, who had lost work from
the offsets of the panic; the burden of
the Louisiana matter, (and he don't
think either party right in Lousiana,)
and the third term question. He
does not believe a third term canili
dare could carry any of tho Northern
and but few of the Southern States.
