The Glorious West !—We have
recently read a lettar from Cawley
county, Kansas, written by a young
man who a few years since left his
home in Teun., to seek his fortune
m the great West. His descrip
tion of the country is everything
hut encouraging. A drougth com
pletely blasted the crops, and farm
ers were killing their hogs to prevent
their death from starvation—many
unable to fatten enough meat for
tluir own use. The writer says
that the country is full of young
men willing and anxious to work
through the winter for their board,
and arc unable to get employment
on those teims. Ho says many
families arc forced to move back
to older settled countries for sub
sistence, leaving their houses and
lands unoccupied. No sales can be
made of stock of any kind, owing
to the failure in crops.
Who would quit Randolph or any
other county in Georgia, to live in
Cawley or any other county in
Kansas? Still wo hear some say
ing: If they could only sell out and
go west, they would be happy. Our
advice is remain in Georgia.
The negro convention called to
meet in Atlanta on Tuesday last,
was attended by between GO and
,0 delegates, each pregnant with a
different idea as to the object of
their meeting. Resolutions memo
rializing Congress to pass the Civil
Rights bill—advocating a general
colonization movement to Alabama
and Alississip;—to remain in Geor
gia and fight it out on the old. line
—repudiating carpetbagger,—de
nouncing Democracy—swearing al
legiance to everything--disapprov
ing everything—etc. etc., were of
fered, tabled, referred, lost, etc.—
Thus ended thu business of the first
day, they being unable to obtain a
sufficient member of the same mind
to act on any committee. It is be
lieved they will adjourn sine die et
disyusto before they determine
what it was “dnt fetch em up dull.”
Another—AY e learn that Sam
Williams—“ Jolly Sam”—of Ter
sell county, lost a gin house, gin,
screw, and about 18 bags of cotton
by fire on Monday last. This prop
erty was on one of h<s Calhoun
county plantations.
Arrested—TheEufala News says
the following citizens of that place
have been arrested at the instance
of Keiles, on a charge of conspiracy
and murder on day of election :
lion Wells J. Bray, Messrs. A.
11. Left witch, L. W. McLaughlin,
C. C. Skilhnan, Win. McCormick,
Henry McCormick, Young John
son, Harrison Ilart, Dan. Rowlett,
11. J. Woods, Wm. Courtney, J. J.
Creyon, Jack Doughtie, Gen. Al
pheus Baker, Tom Chiton, C. E.
Goodwin, E. B. McCrary, G. L.
Comer, James Martin. R. A. Well
born, T. D. Patterson, li, M. Jenn
ings, T. li. McTyer. All of these
parties excepting Baker, Comer
Patterson and Courtney gave $lO,-
000 bonds.
The Duly of Ihe Hour.
As predicted, there v. ill be two sets
of candidates for our different coun
ty offices to be filled by election in
January next. The ones nomina
tod (!) on Saturday last, and those
to be nominated on the 12th inst.
For surely those claiming to be nom
inated on last Saturday cannot ask
the endorsement of the Democratic
Convention to assemble next week.
Ilcnce the inevitable breach, which
all should deplore and regret.
The duty of the friends of true
Democracy is plain and unmistaka
ble. Let good and true men—men
who cherish a higher regard fur
Democratic principles than individ
ual claims, and who desire to restore
and perpetuate our party organiza
tion—be chosen to-morrow as dele
gates to the Convention. Let each
District send forward her delegates
with no other instructions than to
nominate good and true men, and
let every Democrat resolve in ad
vance to support the names they
may present. Let it be the determ
ination of all to restore peace and
harmony to our county, and stop
forever this political stiife and bick
ering, which can only be accomplish
ed, in onr judgment, in this way.
The farce witnessed in our midst
on Saturday last, when negroes who
have never voted with the Demo
cratic party, were allowed—yea, in
vited—to choose candidates for a
faction claiming to be Democrats,
should receive the rebuke it justly
merits, by being universally repudi
ated. If the ticket put forth by this
class of voters on Saturday last is
their choice, and the candidates en
ter the canvass with no other en
dorsement, let it be so, but never let
it be said that i t was ratified by the
Democratic party, at the polls in
January next. We believe emphat
ically in A WHITE MAX'S
GO I ERXMEXT, and cannot
recognize the wisdom or even pro
priety of asking our political ene
mies ignorant as they are —to
choose our officers, either State,
County or Municipal. We hold this
to be l ight, and knoic it to be Dem
ocratic.
There arc names on the ticket vo
ted Saturday last we have cheerfully
and cordially supported in times
past, and who have made good offi
cers, but then they came under the
endorsement of the party with
which we have over affiliated, and
if they had the same claims this
campaign, we should do likewise.—
We believe f hey made a mistake in
thus seeking a nomination,by asking
or permitting their political enemies
to oast their ballots for their candida
cy, without any good reason for be
lieving they would ratify their
own actions in January. That, how
ever,is a question for them to consid
er, and- one for which the Democrat
ic party should uot feel at all respon
sible.
We therefore insist that the rem
edy for all our political strile lies in
the hands of the white Democracy
of our county,' and we have faith in
its being effectually applied.
An Elopement in Webster
County. —The Lumpkin Independ
ent has the following :
On Friday of last week Airs. M.
F. Hardy, wife of Mr. Charles Har
dy of Webster county took advan
tage of her husband’s absence and
eloped with W. C. Kelly, a married
man who lived near by. Kelly left
his wife and one child, an infant,
about two months old, but took
with him his tarn oldest children.
Airs. Hardy left her only child a
daughter about 10 years of ago, at
a neighbor’s house. Kelly, who
had pre-arranged the whole affair,
had hired Ilardy to carry a load of
cotton to Americas for him on the
Thursday before, thus getting Har
dy out of the way. It is reported
that the runaway couple procured
been esc in Columbus and were mar
ried on Friday night last. They
are thought to be on thoir way to
the West.
The President lias heietofore or
dered the distribution of rations
without the sanction of Congress,
and a bill was easily passed to send
rations to Alabama, ostensibly for
the relief of sufferers by the flood,
but which were carried far away
from the streams aud distributed
to the negroes about election time
to influence their votes. But when
the white sufferers of Tuscumbia
appeal to the President for aid lie
suddenly discovers that lie lias no
power to issue rations or to help
them in any way.
Five colored men have been elect
ed to the next Congress, all new
men. Two are from South Caroli
na, one from North Carolina, one
from Alabama, and one from Louis
iana.
The Savannah News, together
with other leading papers of the
State, insist upon a Constitutional
Convention to kill the bogus bonds.
They are fearful of the result if left
alone to legislative enactment. —
They wish to rob the wire-workers
and greasy lobby members out of
a “fat take,” and we hope they may
be successful.

The Rational Democratic
Victory.
Is the late sweeping victory and
triumph of principle over fraud and
corruption final or merely tempora
ry, is a matter for serious consider
ation. That Conservative Republi
cans acting with the Democratic par
ty to defeat obnoxious and extremely
unnatural measures does not, as a
matter of course, muster them into
the Democratic ranks as regular
soldiers in future conflicts, where
other measures may constitute the
issue. It is now a mooded ques
tion os to what caused the disaffec
tion in the Republican party in the
late contest in the various States ? I
The modern Cicsar says it was no i
act of his, but it was the Congres
sional indiscretion in attempting to j
force upon the American people the
impracticable and Utopian theories
of Senator Sumner, as embodied in
the Civil Rights Bill. It is now
manifest that President Grant’s ret
icence pending the agitation of the
Bill iu Congress was to remain un
committed until the question of its
expediency and popular favor be
determined. If it had passed be it
remembered that Cajsar would
have sanctioned it. Bat now the
populace has stamped it with a just
and merited condemnation, and the
President with his own character
istic policy can and lias broken the
silence and takes a decided stand
with the majority and openly wash
es his hands of the infamy, and de
clares that it was the Utopian meas
ure of Senator Sumner that the Re
publican Congress wished to force
upon the American people. Now
Air. Grant’s policy is settled, and
lie is now opposed io the Utopian
theory of Mr. Sumner upon princi
ple because the majority of the
American people hive declared
against it, and bis principles are
governed by majorities, and now if
at tbc next session of Congress the
Republican party persists in a their
effort to force the Utopian theory
upon the people, he will veto it, be
cause that is now decided to be the
popular side of the question. It is
very manifest that President Grant
is not governed by principle and be
will exercise the veto povv as a poli
cy to reorganize and reunite the
Republican party, and to accomplish
this end, the patronage of the Ad
ministration will be employed, and
the finances of the Government even
to a depletion ot the Treasury, will
be recklessly abused, and these com
bined, constitutes a power that is
hard to resist, much less to over
come even by majorities. If it be
true that this wonderful political
revolution is the result of Air. Sum
ner s Utopian theory, it is only a
victory over that one measure, and
is not neccessarily a compleie Dem
ocratic victory. It we are satisfied
with this victory and lay down our
arms and go into winter quarters
and become torpid, the current will
turn, the tide will flow back and we
will lose that we have gained.—
This may only prove a Alanassas
victory, then the grand army of the
Potomac was driven back with
great slaughter and dispersed in
wild coufusion, and the victorious
army satisfied with its valor and
discipline, over estimating its own
strength and prowess, and under
estimating that of the enemy. But
the defeated army had a Govern
ment, with ample resources to re
cruit and reorganize it. So it is in
this political Warfare, the enemy is
routed and dispersed ; but they
have the patronage and resources of
the Government to reorganize and
rediscipline, and if we are not vigi
lant and constantly drilling and
strengthening our ranks,the tide of
battle will turn and sweep over the
country like a hurricane. Bat this
is only an opinion of the cause of the
Republican defeat and upon that
hypethests we reason upon the dan
ger of recuperation and the loss of
our victory. But there are other
reasons far more weightly that
Caesar has lost sight of, or in his
egotism has fancied that as they
were his acts, and the King can do
no wrong, the defeat cannot be at
tributed to them. He declares his
aspirations for a third term could
be no cause of offense to the people.
liis uepotisin could have nothing to
do with it. His absence from offi
cial duties, nor his San Domingo
policy, his gift bribes, his increased
pay, nor his back salaiy grab, nor
his partizan intermeddling in Lou
isiana, nor credit Mobiler, nor the
financial panic, caused by the gam
| bling of a banking-house establish
ed by a Republican President, and
fraudulent transactions that brought
ruin upon the country. And Caesar
looking from his imperial stand
point, declares that none of these
things, in the slightest degree, of
fended tiie people, or had any ef
fect upon the sections.

A. 11. Stephens.
The Monroe Advertiser thus
speaks of this prominent citizeo,
and we must say that a portion of
his criticisms are in full accord
with onr own views. Had A 11.
S. died with the close of the war
his memory would have been eheer
ished as one of Georgi’as brightest
and best men. But, alas, he has
surely outlived his day and beyond
his influence, if not the desire of
hundreds of his (former) admirers :
We desire to enter the solemn
protest of a large number ot the
people of Georgia against the con
duct of Air A. Stephens, who has
gone to Washington and has had a
long confidential talk with Gen.
Grant, and is represented to be in
perfect accord with him on the
“Third Term” question. That
means that Air. Stephens desires to
support Grant for another term of
oflice. Forgetting the indignities
heaped upon the people ot tire South
by the selfish, money-loving, bribe
t; ping President, M Stephens has
the audacity to endorse Grant and
to pretend to represent the views
of his constituents and of the peo
ple of Georgia. Charity constrains
us to believe that Air. Stephens i-s
crazy. He has been a giant in his
day, and was at one time the boast
and pride of the people of the
Empire State. But his great
ness has departed, his intellect
has failed and there is only left a
weak old man, still loving applause
and notoiiety, still vain and egotisti
cal, still as hungry and thirsty for
oflice as at any tune in his life. In
what he has done at Washington
bo has misrepresented the entire
thinking, intelligent white popula
tion of his State.
A correspondent ot the New
York Tribune writes: “I had a
most gratifying conversation with
General John B. Gordon, Senator
from Georgia, and one of the ablest
men in the South. He said: “We
all begin to feel as if we were in the
Union again. I never saw any
thing like the change that has been
wrought in our people by this evi
dence that we arc no longer to be
suspected and proscribed by the
people of the North. Why, even
the ladies take part in the general
rejoicing, and begin to talk about
the Union as though they had a
personal interest in it, and you
know many of them have boasted
all along that they were ‘not recon
structed', ami expected never to be.’
At a mass-meeting the other night
at which there was a great enthu
siasm, nothing said by’ me was so
much applauded as the words in
which I pledged the people of
Georgia to stand by the cosntitu
tion, the Union and the enforcement
of the laws;: my denunciation of
the radicals and radicalism did not
call forth half so much enthusiasm
as my expression of Union sen li
nnets and good will to the people of
the whole country.” General Gor
don thought the policy of the Demo
crats in* Congress would not be
reactionary as to any of the ideas
embodied in the constitutional
amendment adopted since the war
and laws enacted thereunder;: poli
cy, no less than common honesty,
dictates the strict enforcement of all
laws by which the rights of the
freedmen have been enlarged, and
demands that tho white people, as a
class, show themselves true friends
of the colored race. Between the
two races in Georgia the feeling is
one of friendship, and their rela
tions are improving; the carpet-bag
gers are gradually leaving for
more congenial fields of labor.
Left to themselves, the Southern
whiles and the Southern blacks
may live in peace and prosperity.

No More Middlemen, —The At
lanta News says propositions have
been made to the Georgia State
Grange by “various parties—the
most feasible proposition comes
from St. Louis—to supply provis
ions agricultural implements, and
other articles necessary for their
use. The executive committee of
the State Grange held a meeting in
this city yesterday to take into con
sideration the proposition from St
Louis. We have not learned what
conclusion they come to in the mat
ter.”
The proposed reenactment of

President Gran! and t’le
Civil Rights Bill,
The President, in conversation
upon ihe Civil Rights bill, is re
ported as having expressed the
opinion that he has always looked
upon some of the measures advo
cated in that connection as exceed
ingly unwise; that he does not
think that legislation designed to
regulate the social relations of any
class ol people is judicious, and
generally gives rise to a state of
feeling,calculated to do more mil
chief than good. There were some
things which had bettei find their
own level than to force results out
of the natural course. Every citi
zen, he believes, is entitled to cer
tain rights, and be he white or
black, rich or poor, those rights
should be enjoyed in untrammelled
freedom. So far, he has favored
civil rights, but when it has been
brought up as a social question, in
which congressional interference
can effect no beneficial results, and
only annoy a very large, influential
and intelligent class-, be has opposed
any further steps; and had the bill
before Congress last session been
presented for his signature, as al
ready known, be would have ve
toed it, and that he will do with
any other bill of a similar nature
with similar provision on social
questions. In the matter of mixed
schools, the Vrsideut is reported to
have remarked that to enforce such
a measure would be of no service to
the colored man, and would destroy
the common schools of the United
States, and deprive the poor of all
classes of an education. What
change there might be i-n public
sentiment in the future he thought
the future had better determine. It
was quite evident to him that mix
ed schools would drive away the
children of a large class who need
education, and for whom the free
schools were first established. lie
only alluded in this matter to ihe
past of the national government. -
As far as the action of the States
was concerned,, that was a question
entirely local and for them to de
cide. If public sentiment favored
mixed schools they could-have them,
but it was no part of the duty of
Congress to force such a measure
whether or not upon communities
of antagonistic views. The Presi
dent thinks that there should be ap
prepriated provisions every
where for the education-of the col
ored race; and experience has al
ready demonstrated that where the
numbers are great they should have
their own schools and a proportion
ate share of the receipts lor the sup
port of schools ; and where the
numbers are small, they have al
most universally been admitted to
the public schools of the whites.
Colored Uanigration.
The Albany News alludes to the
fact that Southwest Georgia is now
overrun by emigration agents, whose
business it is to persuade the ne
groes that somewhere amid the
miasmatic fogs and vapors of the
West, there glitters- in- the sun a
modern paradise where gumbo
grows on trees, and where the intel
ligent and obliging corn shucks it
self. While we are not by any
means apprehensive that the State
is likely to be deprived edits availa
ble labor through this means, nev
ertheless there is more reason to
fear this movement than the Color
ed Convention in Atlanta. These
agents are shrewd of speech, and can
induce tho average negro to shake
the fever trees of Texas with very
little trouble; and if the emigration
movement proves to be a general
thing, it will be brought about by
the activity of these men and the
low tares ot the rail road 1 interested
in the movement rather than by the
discontent of the colored politicians.
We are perfectly willing to give up
a certain element of our negro pop
ulation, but we are by no means in
clined to see worthy and industrious
colored men drawn into the disas
ters of a Western trip by the mis
representations of men who are paid
so much ahead for all the negroes
forwarded. There is room here for
Legislative action.
Brake Words —In the course of
his inaugural speech in Montgomery
on November 21th, Governor Hous
ton said : “ We must restore the
credit of the State to its former
high and honorable position,preserve
inviolate her good faith, and at the
same time protect her people again-t
excessive and unjust taxation. All
citizens of Alabama truly desire
peace and perfect restoration of fra
ternal relations between all sections
of our common country. They are
loyal to the Govonneut of the Unit
ed States and will readily yield a
cheerful obedience to its authority
and laws. They only ask to be
permuted under the constitution
and laws of the country to exorcise,
secure from unwarrantable interfer
ence, the right of just and wise legal
selt goverment.” United States ffigs
were conspicuous in the piocession.
B RUN'S WICK AND A LEAKY RaIL

states that this road“ has establish
a depot at the end of their line, two
miles this side of Albany, and put
ou a line of hacks aud drays from
the depot into the city. This ac
tion was made necessary by a re
fusal of the use of the track and
bridge of the Atlantic and Gulf rail
road,except upon such terms as were
deemed ruinous to the Brunswick
and Albany rail road, by the Gen
eral Superintendent.
