T. L. GANTT, Editor &J Prop’r
the Danville and copiah in
vestigations.
An investigation of these alledged
outrages has been completed, but it
proved a Water-haul for the repub
lican party. Their emisaries gath
ered very little bloody shirt materi
al—not enough, in fact, to draw at
tention from the home-made “stiffs”
of Ohio or the tanned African
hides of Massachusetts. The ne
groes, by their insolent bearing,
brought on a conflict, and is always
the case, came out second best. The
sooner the North recognizes the
fact that the white race shall rule
the South, and let the negro alone,
the better for the peace of our com-
mon country. The bloody shirt
has floated over its last victoiy. Each
year the North and South are
mingling more and more, and the
former section is now seeing the
sad mistake and the great injustice
it did in placing the former slave on
an equal footing with his master.
If, after thirty years of freedom, the
negro cannot take care of himself,
he must take the conse
quences. The facts brought out in
the Danville investigation differ
very little from those published im-
mediately after the riot There
was no premeditated intention to
kill negroes as has been charged by
some of the coalition leaders. The
community was wrought up to a
high state of excitement by the bit
ter political campaign that had been
in progress for several months, and
which was almost concluded. It
required only an ordinary disturb
ance to precipitate a bloody riot.
The disturbance was furnished by
a white man and a negro and the
riot followed. The negroes were
the sufferers because they did not
have the courage to face their op
ponents. They were aggressive
and threatening, as they are always
up to a certain point, and then
•hey ran away. There is no evidence
to show that, at Danville or else
where in Virginia, there was any
purpose to alarm the negroes in
order to prevent them from voting.
Some of the negro witnesses tried
to create the impression that they
were bull-dozed into staving away
from the polls, but the cross exami
nation tended to raise a doubt as to
the truth of their testimony. In
Copiah county the condition of af.
fairs was different A number of
republican leaders and a few men
who had been democrats, but who,
for the purpose of securing office,
called themselves independents, un
dertook to organize the negro vote
for the purpose of controlling the
country. Of course the negroes
were to have their share of the of
fices. The testimony shows that
these republicans and independents
were not men of the best character.
They were desperate men banded
together for the purpose of advam -
ing their personal schemes. The
means by which they were defeat
ed cannot be defended, but they
may be excused on the ground that
wheigver a community feels itself
wronged there is certain to be vio
lence, in whatever section of coun
try the community may be. The
protest in Copiah county, which
took the shape of violence, was not
against the republican party or
against republican principles, but
against the organized effort of
unprincipled men to make
the ignorant and shiftless part of
the population the rulers of the
thrifty and intelligent The same
sort of protest would be made in
Senator Hoar’s state under the,
same circumstances. The occasion
of the extreme bitterness in the
late Virginia campaign was the
tendency shown byMahoneto force
the negro to the front In order to
hold the negro vote he was willing
to place the negro in position of
honor and trust for which he was
totally unfit He was willing to do
this, although, as Mr. John S. Wise
said in his testimony before the
Sherman committee, the negro pol
iticians were only admitted at the
back door of the Readjuster homes
and received only in their kitchens.
Does Mr. Hoar and Mr. Sherman
think that any community in the
South will submit to be ruled by a
class so low in the scale of civiliza
tion that they are despised by those
they boost into power? Of course
they do not, and it is useless fo r
them to pretend that they do. There
is pretty certain to be violence in
any part of the South where there
is an organized attempt to make the
negroes the ruling class.* Negro
rule means ruined homes, prostrated
business and depreciated property.
Even if negroes are not put into
the most responsible places at once,
those who lead and organize them
are certain to be men who have
nothing yt common with the com
munity. Mr. Hoar and Mr. Sher
man will not be able to make much
out of their investigations. The
people of the North are beginning
to understand the real condition of
affairs in the South. They see the
Southern people have a difficult
problem to solve, and that they will
solve it much more satisfactorily if
t^ey are left to themselves and are
not annoyed by irritating investiga
tions and advice.
Ex-Governor St. John, of Kansas,
threatens to throw a bomb into the
republican national convention by
.proposing a prohibition plank in the
platform. This would be equiva
lent to preventing Gen. Grant from
■poking his nose into the convention.

the first political move.
The proposition that the New
York democrats, in order to mat-f.
sure of John JCelly and prevent his
selling out to the enemy, nominate
that worthy for Mayor, we consider
one of the most important political
moves yet made. It is claimed that
this miserable traitor and political
trickster holds the balance of power
in the pivotal state, and it is essen-
tial that his greed for prominence
and gain be satiated lest he again
betray his party and go over to the
enemy. It is certainly a serious re
flection upon the democratic party
if it must be saved through such an
agency as John Kelly. We believe
an honorable defeat would be far
preferable to such a humiliating
step. If New York, in order to
electa democratic ticket, is content
to be ruled by John Kelly and his
clansmen, that city must indeed
chafe under the galling chains of
radicalism. We predict if this in
famous scheme is consummated,
that New York will have to appoint
another committee of citizens to in
vestigate a’ second reign of Boss
Tweedism. The less the democratic
party has to do with such men
John Kelly and Ben Butler the bet
ter for it A disgraceful compro
mise of principle never effected any
permanent good and never can.
Injhonoring such creatures as John
Kelley the democratic party cannot
elevate him,[but only lowers itself to
his standard. Where they gain one
vote they will lose fifty. This spirit
of timidity, compromise and con
cession is what is now the matter
with our party. We start out with
the most.encouraging outlook, but
before the campaign is over our
leaders become frightened at
shadow and are guilty of some act
that renders them the laughing
stock Of the country. Let us ele-
evateand not degrade our organiza-
tion. When we conspire and asso
ciate with men like the leader of
Tammany Hall, defeat and morti
fication will always be our portion.
While the republicans, through the
corrupting use of money, will buy
over and use him, it is the demo
crats who must bear the infamy of
his political associates. We can
never hope for respect or success
in the north until we cut aloof from
the riff-raff of creation that forms
the democratic party there and
build up a following from a more
respectable element. The demo
cratic party north is just about on a
par with the republican party
South. We must draw a line some
where to rid us of the onus of such
affiliation, and John Kelley is now
a most timely place to draw it
Dr. Lyndon contemplates going
to Washington to testify in favor of
a protective tariff on Worm Oil.
His business will equal that done by
Col. Hanson’s little cotton hand-
mill at Macon.
If the republicans want to carry
the South for high tariff, why don’t
they send $500 down here and build
every journalist a cotton factory
about the dimensions of Col.
Hanson’s Macon mill?
Must the great Souihern masses
submit to a high protective tariff
in order that Col. Hanson, of Ma
con, can clear his dollar a day from
that little carding machine! Better
let us take up^a collection, buy the
thing and stick fire to it.
Old Mrs. Smith, in Rabun county,
should now be heard cn the tariff
question. She has three buxom
gals and as many spinning wheels,
and has as much right to give her
testimony as Col. Hanson with his

A MYSTERY.

ty, On.
Ctaraentile Register.
About the month of July, 1S72,
there came to this county from
Knoxville, Tenn., a neatly-dressed,
genteel looking young man, who,
from his general appearance, had
evidently been raised in good so
ciety. He gave his name as G. W.
Stafford, and took up his abode in
the settlement of Sewell’s school
house. His appearance was that of
a gentleman and his polished man
ners and genteel deportment made
him friends with all whom he met.
Mr. George Stephenson, an honest,
unsuspecting farmer living near by,
had a bewitching daughter with a
loving heart and of tender years, to
whom he was introduced. He at
once made love to the young lady,
and with the shrewdness that is al
ways practiced by that, class of de
ceivers, kept his mouth shut and
vigorously pressed his suit until the
zad of October, 1872, when he was
married to Miss Mary F. Stephen'

powder.
After fourteen years of experi
menting Mr. T. Chamberlain, of
Norwich, Conn., says the New
York Sun, has produced what he
calls a “perfected air gun.” The
term is a misnomer, as the invention
does not relate to guns but to pro
jectiles. Mr. Chamberlain does not
load a gun with air, but he loads the
bullet, and he thinks his invention
would do away with the use of gun
powder. The various parts of Mr.
Chamberlain’s bullet pre three in
number. The exterior of the pro
jectile is a hollow steel shell. Part
two is a steel end-piece, which
screws into the shell, leaving the
chamber above the end-piece to be
charged with air. The end-piece is
hollow, except at the upper end,
and has four equidistant air holes at
a point on its stem. A steel pin
fits exactly into the hollow of the
end-piece, the end ot the pin being
flush with the bottom of the bullet
when it is ready for use. It is held
in place, when the bullet is charged
by a delicate wire penetrating the
rim of the end-piece. In charging
the bullet with air the end-piece is
screwed in tight, and air is forced
into the chamber by an air engine
invented by Mr. Chamberlain. The
pin is then sent in and the wire is
fastened. The bullet may be fired
in any breech-loading gun of the
right bore. The fall of the gun ham;
mer breaks the wire holding the
steel _ pin, and drives the pin past
the air holes, the air charge rushes
out arqpnd the smaller end of the
pin against the gun breech, and the
bullet is hurled from the gun. The
report of the air discharge is, cor
respondingly, louder than that of
powder. By adaptation of the same
_ principle a cartridge is made for
son ‘ throwing shot.
The air-charged bullet, Mr.
Chamberlain says, may be made for
the smallest rifle or the largest can
non. The velocity with which it
is thrown depends, of course, en
tirely on the pressure of air with
which it is loaded. Mr. Chamber-
lain has fired a rifle bullet, load
ed with a hundred pounds of air
pressure, half. a mile accurately.
The shells will stand, he says, 1,000
pounds of pressure. He propones
to make cannon ;baUs that may be
fired thirteen or fourteen miles, tbe
long-range possibilities of the pro
jectile being limited only by the co
hesive power of the steel. He avers
that hit charged projectiles ure
ready for use after any lapse of
time, and that there is no danger of
the bursting of the piece, as over
pressure of the air merely starts a
seam in the metal, instead of shiv
ering iL For rifle or mnsket shoot
ing aleaden bullet is used.

onization society was asked * if he
thought the little African republic
was a successful experiment. He
said: “I once had great hopes for
Liberia, but I must confess myself
somewhat discouraged at the pres
ent time. Unfortunately, they have
followed the example of Hayti and
have raised the color issue. There
are two political parties now in Li
beria, divided on that line, and the
popular cry there now is ‘Liberia
for black” ’
or blacks. J.J. Roberts, Liberia’s
first President and the George
Washington of that country, was
defeated when he last ran for office
on the color issue. He was very
fair, almost white, in fact, and a na
tive of this country. The Liberians
now have a black President, who is
a native of Atrica, and the colored
or mixed people are given ' to un
derstand that they are not wanted.
Very few people can now be in
duced to go to Liberia, .the disposi
tion being to let Liberia be purely
a black republic. I am much dis
couraged regarding the prospects
of affairs there, and doubt if our
government can be induced to give
it any su
upport beyond recognition
dependent power.
“That portion ot Africa undoubt
edly has rich and varied resources,”
continued the speaker, “but the col
ored people of this country—the
mixed people, I mean—can no long
er be induced to go there.”
The colored people of this city,
strange as it may seem, look upon
the colonization society with dis
favor. They have always mistrust
ed its intentions, and think its pur
pose is simply to thin out the negro
