The 7th of November.
The eventful 7th of November is
near; the emancipation of the South
from carpet-bag tyranny and misrule
is at baud. Noble Carolinians, be
then to jour trust, support Hampton,
the man of jmur choice, heed not the
bayonets of the despot and the
Bloody-shirt ring, remember tho sol
diers are not your enemies, they are
men acting under orders who alike .
despise the unconstitutional and dis
graceful occupation which is forced
upon them and the authors of it.
Rhotv yourselves to be men, and free
men at that, and they will respect,
not molest you in the performance of
a duty which you owe to your God,
your State uml yourselves. I have
also a word for you, noble Floridians,
yon have no soldiers to intimidate
or overawe you, but you have a much
worse enemy to t out, nd with,for whilst
a National Plunderer, a reputed Court
blouse burner, and public thief/and
opposed to you in the election you may
be well assured that no frauds will be
too great,no schemes too deep for these
wretches and their supporters to put
into practice for the accomplishment
of their hellish designs. It surely
cannot be, that men of intelligence
either white or colored can bo led by
this pair of depravities, who instead
of aspiring to the highest office in
your gift, should be working out tbe
penalty of their crimes in the Peniten
tiary not in cultivating grapes, man
ufacturing and drinking the wines of
the chief—Mr. Martin—but in repair
ing roads, or being placed on other
public works which would be benefi
cial to tho State they Iteve so much
injured. Take G. F. Drew for your
leader, contrast his integrity with their
depravity, but in this case compari
sons are odious, practice his energy,bo
like him iudoininable in perseverance
and victory is certain. Secure his
election and in one week there will
not be a carpet-bagging tliief left in
the State, as they will be in too great
haste to escape from the just punish
ment which an active scrutiny of their
past misdeeds for the last eleven years
would surely entail upon them. To
those who may feel indifferent, if any
there be, we would say if you will not j
cast vour votes to secure your own
interest and those of your fellow-citi
zens, cast them for your wives and
children for as sure as the sun
gives light if the election is lost
through your neglect,you may at once
prepare for nn exodus, for as certain
ns those parties to fraud are elected, so
certain it is that you will sink into
abject poverty and ultimate slavery,
as all that you now possess (save
wives and children) will be swallowed
lup in the capacious pockets of these
fiends in human shape who like the
vampier soothe whilst they unhesita
tingly bleed von to death.
Tim Reason Why.— The Dolestown
■(Penn) Democrat thus pithily explains
the appearance of the President’s war
proclamation: “The only excuse vye
Ijave heard given for Grant's procla

ho wrote it.” That's sufficient.
Gen. Tooiuhs denies that he has
joined a Methodist church.
To Our Friends in Florida.
W’e sav don’t forgot onr admoni

j faithful sentinel, and wo toll you for
I the last time before the great battle j
for universal liberty is to ho fought,
that if yon looso in this contest it will |
jbe your own fault, and woo betide
you, for you will liavo clearly demon
strated two things, first that you are
i willing to allow tho vainpiers to con- \
tiliue to suck your lifeblood, ami to
rob you and your families of your in
heritance. And lastly you will have
proved to tho world that you aro not
j worthy to bo call freemen, because
j the world knows that if you fail to
! carry this election it is your own fault.
{ Already we hoar that some are appre
-1 hensivo of trouble on election day, >
this betokens cowardice, and if there
|is a man in your .State who keeps
| away from tho polls on the day of
I election, let your “hole and corner,
committee,” find out why ho was not
! at tho polls doing his duty as a man
1 worthy to bear the name of man, and
if ho was not absent from providen
tial causes then let his name be pub- I
lished to tho world as a coward, and
i unworthy to be associated with. Let
the stigma attach to him, lot his name
he called infamous. While wo admin -
; ister a pretty severe castigation to
the weak-koend we nowjtell them, that
however much the Radicals may de
sire to hold power, there is one tiling
they my rest assured of, and that is,
that the carpet-baggers will not un
der any circumstances risk a conflict,
for they know of a certainty that it
would be the last of them. Therefore
we say go to the polls without the
fear of Grant, or any of his minions of
hi'll determined to control that which
is your own, the toil \ and you will reach
reach the haven of safety with but
trouble, will find yourselves redeem
ed, and iu three days not a carpet
bagger to mar one pleasant thought

already packed their sacks, and will
leavo without being told to do so.

The Next Presidential Inaugura

As the fourth of March, 1877, falls
on Sunday and neither Hayes nor
Tilden can be inaugurated President
on that day, acting Mr. Vice President
T. W. Perry, Senator from Michigan,
will bo Presinent of the United States
for the twenty-four hours between
the expiration of Grant’s term and
tho inauguration of the President
elect. There have been three occur
rences of the fourth of March in Pres
idential inauguration year falling on
Sunday—l7l)B, 1821 and 1849. Every
seventh Presidential term the forth
of March, on which tho term should
commence, falls upon Sunday. Unless
there should be a change in the dura
tion of the term the coincidence will
not again occur until the year i
1905.

from a fall rain or a rain fall, but as
Beverly Brigstep sapient’y remarks,

another, and discoursing of falls re

irretrievable descent

The Grand Rally.
I
fl'OR THE QUITMAN REPORTER.]
It has never been our good fortune
to witness such a general enthusiasm
for the right, as was manifested in
Montieello, Fla., on the 26th inst.
Tim morning broke clear and
bright’ a fit dawning for a day of glo
rious achievement. With the rising
| sun came crowds of enthusiastic yeo
! men, wending their way to the town,
i Soon after 9 o’clock the procession
!of mounted men was formed under
Dr. Palmer, as field Marshal. A dis
tinguishable feilure of this large pro
cession, was the great number of TJ.
S. Hags in the tun.'. The large fine
one at the bead tiflho cavalcade, was
the one captured at the battle of Ou
lustee, and as its graceful folds float
ed in the breeze, we could not keep
clown tho spontaneous invocation,
“Long may it wave oe’r the laud of
the free, and tlie home of the brave.”
After the procession was formed, it
moved out on tbo Tbomasville road
to meet and escort to town, the dis
tinguished speakears, who were en
! route for tho place. After an absence
i of an hour or more, the sound of inu
| sic greeted our ears, and the head of
the returning column appeared.
Then enthusiasm reached a higher
pitch. The very animals, seemed to
partake of the spirit of their riders.
The fine band from Thomasville led
the van, discoursing its sweetest
strains. Following them, were Hon.
B. H. Hill, of Georgia, and General
Alpheus Baker, the Eagle orator of
Alabama, in a carriage, then other
distinguished citizens of Thomas
1 county, and then the mounted men—
the old and young, the high and low,
the rich and the poor, the white man
and the black may, were in this line
—and their continued shouts were for
Tildeu and Reform and for Drew and
Hull. As they passed under the large
flag extended across the street, in
front of the Court House, eacii head
was uncovered in honor of our Na
tional colors. Tho column then
marched to tho speakers’ stand, near
the depot. A number of colored clubs
were out in force, and were asenthu
siactic as their white friends, in be
half of political redemption.
The meeting was called to order by
Capt. James Tucker, who after a few
appropriate remarks, introduced
Gov. Drew. He iisuh; but a short ad
dress, pledging himself to reform and
economy, if elected.
Col. Davidson, candidate for Con
gress from the 2nd District of Flori
da, was next, introduced, and by ar
gument and anecdote, made some tell
ing strokes for free and holiest gov
ernment.
Gen. Alpheas Baker, of Alabama,
was then introduced, and for an hour
held that vast assemblage, spell bound
by his eloquence. The Eagle Orator
neither lest nor soiled his plumage in
this effort. With pinions wide-spread
and glowing in the bright light of a
cloudless October sun, he circled
through his native element, the won
der and delight of the breathless
crowd below. Now, speeding upward
on buoyant wing, to tho great shining
orb of truth, and wreathing in spor
tive garlands, its golden beams, then
descending swift as thought, whirl
among tho conscience stricken Radi
cals, frightening their guilty souls by
the whirr of ids mighty denuncia
tions. And as tho last crowning ef
fort, tins orator painted, in glowing
words, the picture of tho old ship of
.State, piloted by Samuel J. Tilden,
passing tho rapid narrows of change
ot administration, into tho deep qui
et waters of honest government.
Hon. B. H. Hill, of Georgia, was in
troduced, and received with prolong
ed and continuous cheering. The
work before him seemed to inspire the
speaker with unwanted inspiration.
His voice, clear as the notes of a sil
ver bugle, was heard distinctly by all
the vast concourse. His argument,
simple, yet forcible, seemed to reach
tho hearts and understanding of the
people ho eomo to shield and spare.
The fruit of which wo hope to seo har-1
vested an hundred fold on the 7th.
of November next. Florida redeem-1
ed ? What, a bright star in his coro-!
net of glorious achiovmonts 1 Wo felt
that it was good that we were there.
Senator Jones closed the fornisic
display, which was followed by din
ner, in tho preparation of which nu
merous oxen and fatlings had been
killed, aggregating 5,500 pounds.
It was a glorious day for onr sister
State, and wo have ail abiding faith
that such efforts, as were there evi
denced,must and will be crowned with
success. With an honest executive,
an honest legislature, and an honest
judiciary, she will rise from her pres
ent condition, to ho in verity, as her
name imports, “The land of flowers.”
Report';"..
The “Pelican” Slate.
New Orleans, Oct. 25.—As the cam
paign draws to its conclusion, it be
comes absolutely certain (hat, if let
alone and not robbed of her rights by
the administration, Louisiana wiil
; give Tilden 30,000 majority. General
Nichols’s canvass through the State
has been an ovation. At every point
he was greeted by throngs of citizens,
audit was a noticeable feature in
these gatherings that the negro came
arm-in-arm, side by side, with the
white man, not merely out of curiosi
ty however, as is alleged, hut carrying
a banner blazoned with the names of
Tilden and Hendricks and the names
of Nichols and Wilt/. In a fair and
honest election, not a doubt can be
entertained a.- to the result.
The greatest impression has been
made upon them by the statements
or confession of Ward and Flowers,
the negro leaders of the blacks at Col
fax, La., when the nation was star
tled by that unfortunate deed of blood.
These two men assert on their oaths
that they were sent to Colfax to make
a row by Kellogg—that the exigen
cies of the party on the north and
west required cometbiug of the kind,
and they looked to Kellogg to furnish
tho material for a first-clas outrage.
Wal'd and Flowers conducted the af
fair for Kellogg, with the result only
too well known.
When the negroes hear this narra
tive from the lips of men whom they
know were the leaders of the blacks
on the occasion, it overwhelms them
with surprise and horror.
In the parish of West, Feliciana,
once the stronghold of radicalism,
the whites have succeeded in winning
over to their side a majority of the
voters. Thus, instead of giving a
radical majority of 1,500 as hereto
| fore, West Feliciana will gi.’e a ma
jority of 300 for Nichols and Wiltz.
A Noted Convert,
Among the most noted colored
converts to Democracy is ex-Seuator
1 Revels of Mississippi, who, in an ad
dress to a colored club at Magnolia,
in that state, said:
“We are wery of being the victims
of the lies of the carpet-baggers, ihe
: instruments of demagogues and office
seekers. The Democrats of Mississi
ppi have fulfilled every promise made
to colored citizens last year. They
have reduced taxation half, also the
expenses of government, and, instead
of depriving us of educational
privileges, they give our children five
months of schooling, whilo they only
had four under the Republicans. We
are not the enemies of ‘he whites: we
have need of their friendship, and
their influence and their counsels.”
In proof or this he demonstrated that
while under Ames the taxes amounted
t 05618.006 in 1875, they were reduced
to 8200,905 in 1870. The negroes will
never prosper until the Southern
white men prosper; and no State can
thrive which is robbed lay Radical
brigades continually.
A Congressional Candidate.
A report is in circulation that the
Radical conspirators of Florida con
templated riming Manuel Govin for
Congress, from that State. Govin is
tho carpet-bag pest who boasts of
carrying two thousand Cuban votes in
in his pockets, if the right of suffrage
should ever be extended to brutes
Govin might be callable of transpor
ting an iuummerable number of votes
all over his clothes. This insecti
vorous wretch is at present postmas
ter of Jacksonville.
Ax Eastern View of Tilden’s Let
ter —Sphinofield, Mass., October 2(1.
—The Springfield Hepubiiean says ol
Governor Tilden’s letter: “Governor
Tilden has played his last card. The
Republicans have been calling for the
past week for his opinions and purpo
ses on the Southern questions, and
particularly on tho rebel claims, and
he has promptly given it to them and
tho country. We think now ike
former would rather not have had it,
but the non partisan public will re
joice over it. His letter fairly covers
tho whole ground and settles all
phases of the Southern question so
far as he as President, or his adminis
tration is concerned. It will boa re
lief to many an honestly doubting
citizen. It will remove the objections
of many voters to his election, it will
soften the sorrow of others at his
success, and it will go far to complete
that cuccess.
The most sagacious planters of
this, and the adjoining counties in
Florida are storing their cotton for
better prices.
The price is already advancing,
and after Tilden is elected full confi
dence will be restored, everywhere,
and we may reasonably look for 15
cents per pound.
Peter Funk in Politics.— Among all i
the disreputable devices of this politic- ]
al campaign, that described by an
Oh’o corespondent of the Philadelphia
Timex is justly pronounced by that
paper one of the worst. The corres
pondence states that men are em
ployed by Mr. Chandler to go around
and net tho unreconstructed rebel,
and talk in public places about ex
pecting tho rebel debt and Southern
claims to be paid in tho event of Mr.
Tilden’s election. Tho Timex says
that its correspondent is an Ohio
lawyer who has just been elected a
Common Pleas Judge in a tolerably
close district by about ten thousand
majority, a sufficiently good certificate
integrity and lovel-heiulncss.
A Fatal Mistake.—St Louis, Oct
28.—A special to the Globe-Democrat
from Little Rock, says, three Metho
dist ministers, while riding in Pope
county, were shot by Hughes and
Hale. They are illicit distillers and
supposed that the preachers were rev
enue officers coming to arrest them.
One died in two hours and tho others
are dangerously if not fatally wound
ed.
A bashful young man who lives in
Viuevillc, whilo out driving with the
dearist gill in the world tho other
day, had to get out and buckel the
crupper, and hesitatingly explained
that “the enamel's bustle had come
loos.
No doubt Sam Tilden has done
many unkind and even cruel thinks
in his time, but the most cruel of all
was publishing his Southern claimes
| letter on the veay day Field-Marshal
Murat Halstead was to deliver in
i New York his blood-and-thnuder
speech on that identical subject.
