Gr.om.iiA.—Since the State of Geor
gia repudiated the carpet-baggers
and becamo Democratie, says the
World, the negroes of that State have
accumulated property, until the col
ored people now pay taxes on an as
sessed valuation over $1),000,000.
These figures are worth volumes to
show that the colored population are
better protected and more prosper
ous under Democratic than under Re
publican carpet-bag government. The
better portion of negroes realize thi3
fact, and therefore they vote in Geor
gia with the Democratic party. They
have had their fill of Freedman’s sav
ings banks, delusive mules and unsur
veyablo forty-acre lots.
Four out of live young men who

in the class with them, have now re

turned. But the other stoutly holds
out, and insists that until the Ethio
pian changes his skin, or else betakes
himself to some other educational es
tablishment, ha will no more take his
accustomed seat at Princeton.

feeling of affection in pure and guile-,

The most remarkable speech ever

“You know I can’t make a speech.
We came hear fur something else. 1
hope you will not make asses of your
selves and break up the party.* It is
safe to say that no more good advice
was never crowded into so short a
efface.

Louisiana Coming-
It looks now as though Louisiana
would be one of the subtlest States of j
a “solid South.” Tho New Orleans 1
Democrat says tho negroes are leaving :
the Republican party thero by him- 1
dreds and thousands, and that the
Democrats will curry the State in No
vember, soldiers or no soldiers, by!
not less than thirty thousand majori
ty. “Here in Louisiana," it adds,!
“the desertion is a perfect avalanche.
In Natchitoches there arc over 1,000 j
Democratic colored men enrolled in
clubs. In Morehouse, Richard, Rap-j
ides, Madison, East Baton Rouge,
Rointe Coupe, East and West Felic-j
atom, they are equally numerous. Iu
S’. Man’s there is a Democratic col
ored club in each ward aud so in many
other parishes.”
This desertion of the Radical party
by tiro negroes comes not from intim
idation or coercion in any form, but
from tlio broken pledges, the profliga
cy and scouiiTireiism of the carpet
baggers and scalawags who have
heretofore led them only to delude,
roll, blackmail and swindle. They
have voted and raised largo sums of
money for public schools, only to
plunder the fund, fool the negro, and
wrong and injure him in every way.
This thing has been carried so far that
[ tiie honest negroes of the South now
demand a change, And this accounts
i tor Racard’s want of negro troops “to
keep the d—ml plantation niggers
from voting tbe Democratic ticket.”

QUITMAN, <M„ THURSDAY* OCTOBER 20, 1870.
Don't Fail to Kenil this
It will make you feel good from
now until you know the truth is fully
verified:
The Democracy began this cam
paign at, the commencement of the
present year with a confident hope of
success on the basis of a reasonable
helie£that they could elect their Pres
idential ticket without either Indiana
or Ohio. The results of tlio elections
thus far held have vindicated their
claims and added Indiana to their list
The States Which made up this basis
of calculation wore:
Electoral
States Vote.
Connecticut 0
New York Ho
New Jersey 0
Delaware 15
Maryland 8
Virginia 11
West Virginia 5
Kentucky 12
Tennessee 12
Missouri 15
Arkansas 0
Texas 8
Louisiana 8
Mississippi 8
Alabama 10
Georgia ..11
North Carolina 10
California’ 0
Nevada 3
Oregon 3
Total 180
The whole number of votes in the
electoral college is 300, making 185
necessary for a choice. So that up mi
their basis of calculation the Democ
racy bad four more votes than were
required for success. The result of
last Tuesday’s election has added In
diana to the column, making 15 more
votes, or 201 in all. The elections
which have been held during the year
have renewed the assurance that Con
necticut, Delaware, Oregon, West
Virginia, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas
and Georgia will cast their votes l'er
Tilden and Aeudriclis. The marked
change shown in the German vote bv
the result of Ohio also places Wiscon
sin, Illinois and Michigan among the
probable Democratic States, with 40
more votes. The Democracy are
morally certain of at least one, if not
two, of those three States, and the
third must bo set down as doubtful.
Florida is believed to be Democratic,
as is also South Caeolina, on an hon
est vote. This leaves as certain or
lirobable for Mr. Hayes the following
States:
Electoral
States. Vote.
Maine 7
New Hampshire 5
Vermont 5
Massachusetts 13
Rhode Island 4
Pennsylvania 21)
Ohio.. 22
Minnesota 5
Nebraska 3
Kansas. 5
lowa 11
Colorado 3
Total 102
Even if we concede to the Republi
cans the States of Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin, South Carolina and Flor
da, which combined have 51 e’ectoral
votes, they will still lack 32 votes for
an election. The Democracy could
also lose Louisiana, Mississippi, Cali
fornia and Nevada and still have 191
electoral votes, or six more than are
necessary. There is a possibility that
the Republicans may carry Nevada,
but, scarcely a possibility of their car
rying Louisiana, Mississippi or Cali
fornia. At the best, with the present
outlook, the Republicans cannot rea
sonably expect more than 178 votes.
Conceding them all that are certain
and all chateau be properly classified
as doubtful, Mr. Haves will obtain
but IGI votes, and the recent elections
have made it morally certain that he
is more likely to fall teu votes short
of that number, than to exceed it.
The Democracy thus start on the
home stretch with a decided advan
tage in their favor. The strength of
all the real issues is. with them; the
oppoitunity is theirs, all that is re
quired is to take advantage of the
present position and manfully im
prove their opportunity. It will be
fatal, however, to take anything for
granted, forcin’ opponents will grow
more desperate as their chances of
success lessen. They are preparing
to make superhuman efforts to carry
New York,without which their chances
jis absolutely hopeless. The Empire
State is safe and by a handsome ma
jority unless the Democracy of New
York fail to do their duty, and throw
away on luc il issues the hope and hon
or of the nation now confided to their
keeping. —New York World.

In an article discussing the proba
bilities of the November election, tho
Cincinnati Commercial puts the fol
lowing list of State down as doubt
ful :
California (1 j Now York ila
Imliaua IT Oregon !!
IT vv Jersey | Connecticut..... .(1
Our friend Halstead rather over
draws this thing. How can be call
Indiana doubtful after the result of
last Tuesday's‘voting? Orjon what
principle docs bo include Connecticut
in this list, when for three years she
has continuously given Democratic
majorities in hotly contested State
elections? Or what reason is there
to doubt about Oregon, considering
that for throe years the Democratic
party has constantly prevailed there?
Neither is there anv good reason, that
we can perceive, for calling New Jer
sey a doubtful State. In tho last
stronlgv contested election, that of
1874, the Democratic candidate for
Governor lmd a majority of more than
13,000 and this will now rather be in
creased than diminished. New Jer
sey is naturally a Democratic State,
and slut keenly feels the disgrace
brought upon her by the present Ad
ministration, which keens in power in
a cabinet ofiiec tho most coirupt and
rascally of Jerseymen.
But, least of all, can New York be
fairly called doubtful. In 1874, after
a violent and most exciting struggle,
in which, up to_ the very last moment,
the Republicans were perfectly confi
dent of victory, they were beaten by
Samuel J. Tilden by a majority of 50,-
000; and in 1875, only one year since,
with a ticket that failed to receive the
full support of the party, having a
gentleman at its head who, with all
his personal merits, had but just left
the Republican organization, the Re
publican were beaten by a majority ot
14,000. What power is there which
can change such results ns these?
How can the Republicans hope to re
cover the State now? If tbe Demo
crats of New York could elect John
Bigelow a year ago by a sufficient ma
jority, how can they fail now to give
tho vote of the State to Samuel J. Til
den by a majority surpassing that
which he obtained when be ran for
G overnor in 1874? The question an
swers itself; and besides, wo can tell
our Cincinnati contemporary that all
over tbe State the changes from the
Republican party arc very numerous,
and among the best and most influ
ential classes of the population. There
is not a hamlet or a township without
a considerable number of substantial
citizens who have never voted any but
the Republican ticket, wh now openly
anonneo their determination to vote
for T.ioi u mnl Reform.'No, no, what
ever other State may be doubtful,
there is no donut about New York.
The only State in the Commercial ’
list which with any propriety can be
classed as doubtful hvCalit'ornia, and
if she docs not choose six electors to
vote for Tilden and Hendricks wo are
very much mistaken. She elected
a Democratic Governor last year, and
she will probable contribute to elect
a Reform President in 187(5. — N. Y.

Indiana in November.
silic will go Democratic by Not Less
Than 200,000
lutl.inapolis special to the Chicago Times.]
So ends big fight in Indiana.
The die bus Lioeu cast for Tilden in
November, and there is every reason
to believe that with this prestige of
an October victory, the State will go
Democratic next mouth by not less
than 20,000. This is an estimate made
by Gov. Hendricks. He says that
Harrison comauded far more strength
in Indiana than Hayes can, aud more,
no doubt, than any representative
Republican in his State could have
done - lie has run ahead of his ticket.
Next month there will be no scratch
ing of Tilden among tbe Democrats.
He will bring out the entire strength
of the party as registered for Secreta
ry of State Neff. Tho German vote,
which was partially averse to Wiliams
because the Republicans bad rep
resented him as incompetent for the
position, will be almost solid for Til
den, not only because such arguments
are lifeless in bis case, but because
they want reform. That issue will
win them as a class. Again, the
Democratic, independents, having
seen tlie folly of throwing away their
votes this time, will return and swell
the Democratic tide, while the Repub
lican independents, findig uo promises
ol financial relief in Hayes and the
haril-mouey platform of Cincinnati,
will look for comfort to Tilden and
aud the St. Louis pledges. Finally,
there is the strength which always
accrues to the victorious side, and in
this State il represents a floating vote
of about 5,000. Gov. Hendricks is
confident Indiana will verify his
} figures in November, if no efforts are
relaxed between this and election
time.

Dal’s J;>s:s Wilt l’sa Como For,
Mr. J. H. Arnold who is one of tho I
most prominent salesmen in Cincin- i
nati, was standing, with others, in \
the front entrance of an establishment
on Pearl street, when they noticed a
colored man coming shambling up
the street with a wandering look that
bespoke him at once a stranger. As
the darkey approached, Mr. Arnold
began to smell a “large political j
mouse,” and be accordingly accosted
the fellow after this manner:
“Hello, boss! When did you cornu
to town ?”
“Jos ’rived, sab, dis minute, mas’r.” j
“Where are you going ?”
“I’m done gwvne onteu Walnut 1
Hills.”
“What are you going to do out
there, snowball ?”
“Yah ! yah ! boss, I’s got a uncle :
libben up dar sorn’re, and I’s jist
gwvne up to sear’ him up.”
“You’re from Kentucky, I Guo.„s?”
“Yer right, boss, mighty right. I’s
a Kaintuck nigger, I is.”
“I am acquainted all through Ken
tucky. What part do you come
from ?”
“Geawtown, squire.”
“Georgetown, ell. Why, I know
everybody about Georgetown. For
whom did you work, my friend, in
Georgetown ?”
“Work fo’ ? Why—why—-tell yer !
boss, I worked on do road.”
“Now, see here, my friend,” said
Mr. Arnold, taking him aside with a
companion. “Between you and me,!
I want you to stay in Cincinnati till
after the election, and vote tho Re- j
publican ticket next Tuesday, which '
you know is a vote for Hayes and j
Wheeler. Now, if you’ll promise to
do so, I’ll give you §lO at the Gibson
House if you’ll meet me there the
night before tho election. I’ll see that
no harm comes to you. Come ! Wlint
do you say to it?”
Tbe darky, thrown completely off
bis guard, smiled from shoulder to
shoulder, and confidentially said in
an undertone, while ho looked around
to see that no one else but tho two
white men were near: “Golly, boss,
dat jes’ what I’se come for.”

Lot l!:e Work Gn On.
We again appeal to our friends ov
evervwhoro not to fold their hands in
idleness because the State has gone
so overwhelmingly Democratic.
We repeat wlmt we said‘the other
day, that orders have been sent from
Washington to the Radical lenders in
Georgia to make a do-p rate light for
Congressional gains. Everything else
is to bo subordinated to that, end, and
any trade or bargain is commended
that will win votes for Radical c.u-di
dat os for Congress. The contest in
the Second District, In tween Captain
Smith and Whitcley, lias especially
engaged the attention of the Wash
ington gang. They know Whitcley's
worth to them as a bitter, relentl ss
and unscrupulous tool, and arc par
ticularly desirous to have him - back
in active service. His efforts to pass
that'infamoiis bill which would have
put the polls all over the South eoin
ictely in tho bands oi’ a set of dospt r
ate ruffians, who would have exercis
ed sole and thorough control of them,
and driven off the Democrats when
ever and wherever they liked, cspcci
aliy commended him to Grant and
his allies, and they want him back in
Congress. If tbe Democrats should
lose the Forty-fifth Congress, and
Whitcley again bo returned, tie will
stop at nothing to plea-e ids masters
and wreak his vengeance on thepeo
ple of the South, and of Georgia, es
pecially. He has the will to crash
them, and his allies will furnish the
way, should they be in the majority
in the next, House.
Wo fhereforo ivgr.rd his defeat us
especially desirable, and we call upon
our friends in that district to see that
he is defeated. They have sat on him
once, and can do so again if they re
solve to do it. That is all we ask of
them. Let them make up their minds
that Whiteley shall bo defeated, and
wo have no fears of the result. The
time is short for this work, but long
enough if they are all of one mind aud
will pull steadily together. Lot them
stick to his trail night aud day, from
now to the 7th of November, and lie !
will never trouble them again. One
more defeat will kill him too dead to
skin, politically. We urge our friends
to keep that glorious result in sight
all the time, and they will bo cure to
achieve it. They would bo less than
human if, with such inspiration, they
allowed themselves to ;tI.

Compare the two Men.
Cau any reasonable man believe
that Hayes is as tit for the executive
duties of the Presidency as Tilden ?
Hayes was a cipher i:i Congress.
He has never put forth an original
political idea. Those who know him
best do not venture to accredit him
with executive talent, though they
may grant that lie is kind and amia
ble, As Governor of Oliio, lie is so ,
hedged about by constitutional re
strictions that he is littio more than a
figurehead. He has in no respect;
moulded the present canvass in his
behalf. His backers, as also those
who put him up as a Presidential
candidate, are far stronger men than \
he, and they naturally pay no regard
to the opinions, such as they are, ol
the plastic Hayes’ He t alked of civil
service reform in bis letter of accept-,
unco. He would be as powerless to ;
carry it into effect against men like
Morton, Blaine, Chandler, aud the
Camerons, as a child to make a
breach in a fortress. Have’s record
is that of a feeble, uncertain man,
good of heart perhaps, but muddy ol
head.
Tilden, on the contrary, is a man
whose profoss’onul advice has been
sought, prized, and followed by a gen
eration of tho ablest practical men of
tbe country. He is familiar with onr
whole political history, and lias, since
he reached manhood, been a promi
nent actor it. Finance, taxation, the
limits of tho power of tho Govern
ment, and the duties of an executive
officer have been the subjects of his
life-long study. As Governor of New
York, he has made his ideas and in
fluence felt throughout legislation,
and can point to a vastly reduced tax
ation as tlio fruit of his labors. Gov.
Tilden has left his mark on this State,
and he would leave it on the .national
Government. He is a man of rare
.executive capacity, and of backbone,
with definite conceptions of his polit
ical duties, and the will, the astute
ness, and the intellectual vigor to
carry them out.
Nobody who compares Hayes aud
Tilden fairly on their record can fail
to conclude that the Republican can
didate is a mere shadow beside the
Democratic.— N. Y. Sun.

The returns from i a; Congressional
election iu ludiuua show how effectu
ally the Radical Legislature of that
State in arranging the districts bus
succeeded in stifling the popular will.
The returns show that in the four
districts carried by the Democrats
their majority aggregates is, 72.'.,
whilst the nine districts caried by the
Radicals gave only an aggregate ma
jority of 1.2,539, giving the Democrats
a majority in the Stale on the Cou
grssional vote of -G,ISO, despite tho
fact that they secured less than o u>-
third of the Congressman. The
