WEEkLV iiANENR-WATCriMAN TUESDAY JULY SS<>
MAJOR BACON’S ADDRESS.
The Banner-Watchman endorsee
every word of the loii»win(> edito
rial from the Augusta Chronicle,
and adopts it as its own words:
The Chronicle during the recent j
campaign has been steadfast in the
''‘advocacy of Major Bacon's nomi
nation for Governor by the demo
cratic convention. As long as
there was the slightest hope of suc
cess it never gave the faintest evi
dence of a want of confidence in
the success of his cause. The
Chronicle strongly opposed and
still opposes the concentration of
political power in the hands of a
few men in the city of Atlanta. It
does not believe that it is demo
cratic for a few men in any one'
community to control the political
power and patronage in any state,
much less in a great state like Geor-
gia.
While advocating the cause ol
Major Bacon, the Chronicle was
careful not to accuse its competitor
of fraud nr corrunt’.on cither in 01
out of office. Our personal rela
tions with Gen. Gordon would pre
vent us'from accusing him of any
official corruption or dishonest 1ms
iness transactions.
in the heal of a political contest
men become excited; their bettei
natures become mixed with gall,
and they say a great many thing*
which would have been better for
themselves and for the part} to
have been left unsaid.
The Chronicle does not indulgt
in these reflections tor the putpost
of abandoning the cause ot Majoi
Bacon, or of making terms with the
Irieiulsot Gen. Gordon.
The Chronicle and its manage
ment are able to take care of them
selves. We have no favors to ask
ol the incoming administration, hut
we have a duty to perlorm, and
that is to do right. We should do
justice even to our enemies, but wt-
do not regaid the men who are op
posed to 11* in the present campaign
as our personal or political enemies
We are opposed to the methods
used in the recent campaign, anti
we do not hesitate to say that the
integrity of the party has been seri
ously endangered by their practice.
Opposing political parties resort to
such methods, hut a contest within
the party ought not to he character
ized hv such recklesMiess of state
ment,bitterness of feeling anti the use
ol i|uestiontiblc means in nominating
a candidate. The integrity of the
party and ihe prevalence ot honor
able methods in a contes* inside o'
the party, are mote important to
the people than the success of any
candidate.
We advocated the nomination of
Major Bacon, because, by reason ol
his long and faithful services to the
party and the people, he was enti
tled to political prelerment. Thor
oughly familiar with all of the du
ties pertaining to the office ot Gov
ernor, we were satisfied that it
would be his greatest ambition to
give the people an able, just and
economical administration.
We cannot endorse the severe re
flections in the address of Major
Bacon which we publish to-d; y.
It we believed Wuat Major Bacon
charges as to the men who control
the party in this state, we should
feel called upon to do all in our
power to defeat the election of
Geneial Gordon. We could not ad
vise the minority to participate in
the deliberations of the convent ; on.
We do not believe that these mcr
are banded together politically to
despoil the state and plunder the
people.
It is natural that Major Bacon
should feel indignant at his treat
ment, and disappointed at his de
feat. It would he umeasonahle ta
expect him to unite in the noinit a-
tion hv acclamation of his compei-
itor, but we believe that his wisest
cotitse would have been to have
contented hunseli with a dignified
letter returning thanks to his sup
ported in this campaign, expressing
the hope that the principles and
methods for which he had contend
ed would yet prevail in the politics
of the stale.
We take no stock in the charge
ih it Gen. Gordon and his friends
in end to make money out of the
Stite road; and we eio not intend
to discount Gen. Gordon’s adminis
tration, or disparage it in advance,
simply because we supported Ma
jor Bacon. If Gen. Gordon was
disposed to do wrong in the man
agement ot the high office which
will be committed to his trust, which
we do not for one moment suppose,
.te- will have to call to his aid the
general assembly elected to protect
ihe interests of the people. We
shall give to Gen. Gordon’s admin-
\ istration a fair and impartial sup
port.
We have the right to criticise his
acts, hut we have not the right to
‘ misjudge his motives in advance.
Major Bacon has made a stub
born, gallant fight—one that will
live in the memory ol the present
generation. We regret that its con
clusion should have been marred by-
reflections and strictures that we
cannot endorse without being false
to professions and associations,.per
sonal and political, of many years’
duiation. We supported Major
Bacon from a sense of duty, be
cause we believed that the paity
owed him preferment. We have
discharged our duty, and we do not
cany on the fight against those
with whom we have heretofore ac
ted politically, unless there should
| be further icasons fur our opposi
tion.
We believe that General Gordon
is the only man who could have
defeated Major Bacon for the nom
ination. Gen. Got don's brilliast
war record and the superior organ
ization and ample tieasury supplied
by his Atlanta supporters secured
his nominatin' it is due to truth
....... ,h»*~ We should say that the nm-
jority of the Democratic people of
Georgia have confidence in the in
tegrity ol Gen. Gordon, end they be
lieve that he will make them an
honest and faithful Governor.
For ourselves we earnestly de
sire that the heat and bitterness ol
this campaign should pass away
and be succeeded by peace and
good will We would be false to
our piofessions ot Iriendship did we
. not feel confidence in Gen. Gordon,
ar.d recreant in our duty to the
patty did we not express the ear
nest hope that Gen. Gordon's ad
ministration will he characterized
by wisdom,justice and moderation
THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE
OF THE NEGRO.
THE WIZARD AT WORK.
Gen. Basil Duke, in an article to
appear in the Southern Bivouac for
August, relates the incidents of the
retreat alter the fall of Richmond
This war story has never yet been
fully told, though it is one ot ab
sorbing intercats. The paper des-
ribes the last council of war, the
protection of the train with treas
ure, and the gradual disintegration
ol tae remnants of the Southern ar
my. Many points of historic in
terest heretofore neglected-.are
made dear in this narrative, and al
together it is a most important con
tribution to the history of the war.
Congress and the oleomargarine
oill ait- gelling badly mixed.
Edison, since his marriige, ha*
been unusually quiet,- but recent die
velopments show that he has not
been altogether idle.
The wizard, as he is called, is
now devoting his attention to elec
tricity. He proposes at an early day
to make some experiments with
earth currents. In order to do this
he will have to go to some locality
proba lv Florida, whe^e there is
very little mineral in the soil
There are currents of electricity
p sing all the time through the
earth, but their direction is un
known. Edison desires to arrange
eight currents radiating from a cen
tral point. He will place a man at
each circuit to test the power of t’.ie
curie its. In Boston he succeeded
in ruoning a wire six hours wuti the
aurora borealis, without a buttery
It is possible that alter the Flori
da experiments, this wonderful man
will revolutionize telegraphy. Bui
he looks forward to still greater
things. When it becomes possible
to make instruments that will b
sensitive to the natural earth cur
rents, much of the cumbrous ma
chinery now in use will no longei
be needed. Power will be every
where, and it v. ill be cheap. The
trith’s tltc'.iic currentswillbe hai-
nessed to the world’s machinery
11 d everthing will hum. It looks
marvelous, but Edison makes vefy
few mistakes.—Constitution.
l1lK DII.KK-CRAWFORD
Dal.
Bishop Henry M. Turner, of the
African M. E. Church, has been in
Philadelphia attending the meeting
of the Bishops of his denomina
tion in that city. While there he
was subjected to a lengthy inter*
view by the Philadelphia T mes as
to the present condition and future
prospects of the negroes of the
South, and he expressed himself on
the subject in a very intelligent and
interesting manner.
He says that the colored people
are chiefly eijgaged in agriculture
and that larm laborers are mostly
negroes, hut the blacks as well as
the whites of the South are being
moved to the importance of manu
factures and, whenever possible, en
gage in such business. He asserts
in this connection, that the negro is
not the idle and shiftless creature
that he has been charged with be
ing, but while there are some idlers
and loafers among them the major
ity are diligent and industrious.
On this point Bishop Turnei
doubtless speaks the truth. The
majority ol the negroes in the
South are industrious and work
lor their liviug, but there is one
great defect in their character that
he has either overlooked or is igno
rant of, and that is the*ir apparently
utter lack of understanding the sa-
crcdness of a contract. Any one
who has had much to do with the
negio in the South, whelher as
house servant, farm laborei, or in
sny other capacity nowthat sso
long as his employer owe him
cent he virtually owns him. But
just let the tables be turned. Let
the employer adv. nee money to his
employee, and become his creditor
to even the small amount of ten
cents, a.id the conditions are at once
entirely reversed. The chances are
5 to i that the laboier will immedi
ately, and without warning, disap
pear, and no’more ♦rill be seen of
him, no matter how solemnly he
may have agreed to do his duty
faithfully for a stated time. This is
a charge which can be substantia
ted by nearly every employer ol
colored labor in the South, and it is
an evil that comes directly under the
jurisdiction ol the Bishop, since as
no redress can be had against the
delinquent in the courts—he being
generally entirely impecunious and
irresponsible—it can only be cor
rected by an elevation of his moral
a id spiritual condition.
Speaking of the present political
s aius of the negro, Bishop Turner
gives some very interesting infor
mation—more interesting to the
North, perhaps, than to tho South,
because more generally unknown
in that region. He says:
“The negroes are mostly republicans.
Recently there has been a tendency to
wards eemocracy, which was given a
strong impulse by l'resident L'le-eland's
generos ity and fairness. The colored
people regard the President with re
markable admiration. - They look upon
him With a reverence akin to that they
felt for Lincoln. Fifteen months ago
there were thousands of colored men in
the Southern democratic camp, but the
tide of desertion from republicanism lias
received a set hack from the conduct of
the Southern democracy toward the
President.
That the first of his statement is
true there is no doubt, but what
the Bishop means by the last ex
pression quoted above, it is hard to
comprehend. The Southern de
mocracy have always and will al
ways suppoit our democratic presi
dent, and how any conduct of theis
towards him has stopped negro de
sertions from the radical camp is
very difficult to understand. The
truth is, the Bishop is mistaken.
The desertions have not stopped.
The. negro lealizes that the white
democrat is his best friend, and
that while he does not promise him ! it not for the suppoit lent to it by
social equality, he will never rob the unset mly scramble «f “blase”
him through the medium ol bogus I and tit-jeweled dames for good seats
savings banks and such like swin- j in the cjurl room, while the vile
dies. He is coming over to the j and unholy details ol Dilke’s c.neei
democratic party, therefore, in large I as * libertine, were being drawn
numbers, and is coming to stay. Iiom the witness box.
So much for the present of the i Is it any wonder, in the lace ol
negio. His future,as predicted by i ah this, that Henry Watter,on
Bishop Turner,is both interesting | wiote home the other day from

DISCUSSION OF THE MERITS OF
GOVERNMENT HORSES.
As England and Americ i h iv.
signed Itr-Mtys »- t I; s 1• 1 I - •
dynamiters and other Criminals,
theie is now a fine chance for 11
to get rid y! O'Donovan Ros*a and
other cowardly anti skulking black-
guard* like him, and the Irish peo
ple should have a chance to hang
hem for the great harm they have
i already done.
No event has happened over the
water in a decade which has elici
ted more comment from the Amei-
ican press than the Dilke-Ciaw-
ford scandal. And it is not a fa-
voiable comment upon Anieticat
journalism that such is the case,
it ought not to be.
The prominence of Sir Charles
Ddke has unluckily imparted
prominence to his amum. Taken
all in all it is peihaps the uncleanest
piece of lasciviousness that was ev
er silted in a courthouse. London
journalism is notorious for its un-
olusning all'rontery in retailing the
minutia of great scandals. London
journals ddre not print the verbatim
evidence in this case.
There is not a more pitiable pair
extant, than Sir Charles and Mrs.
Crawford. The woman is an anc
moly of depravity. She was the
leader in great society, the mo.her
of twelve children, the wile of a
good man, and, at the same time, a
louler wanton than any that walked
the streets. For years she has
lacked only expusuie to crown her
the queen of inlamy. And now
she nas been exposed. Her past
has been a raging wave of the sea
foaming out its own shame; and her
future will he as a wandering slar to
whom is reserved the blackness of
darkness forever.
Sir Chailes Dilke has fallen from
a position second to lew in the Brit
ish empire, to where there aie many
to scorn him,but none so poor as to
lend their homage. If not tired of
his lile he is tired of bis native land.
He is about to turn his back upon
it lorever and make his home in the
south of France. It would have
been wiser on his part to have done
t lis before going to court. Mean
while, there are people heartless
enough to say that English society
has closed its doors on Sir Charles
and Mrs. v.rawford, not becauseo
•heir gu.lt, but because of tfeir ex
posure, while olheis whoarr known
to he equally as Lad aie still wel
comed in high ciicles. So damag
ing an airaignment of lashionable
society would.probably fall flat and
be asciibed to envious gossip were
intentions of the American citizen
of African birth in the South. Heie
is what Turner has to say .oil that
subject:
“The future of the negro is a very
broad <|uestion. We have large schools
in every Southern city and many col
leges, and these are yearly turning out
teachers for the lower classes. In this
way education is being very generally
disseminated. In no great time the black
will refuse longer to concede superiority
to the white, ltoth races must then oc
cupy the same social plane or one of them
must ijuit the country. If the negro is
not granted social equality he will turn
to Liberia and establish a government of
his own there. Ho thus would become
the agent of enlightenment of the great
African continent, and who knows hut
that this was God's design in enslaving
the black race.”
If Bishop Turner is conect in this
statement, and speaks of what he
knows, the negro might as well
begin at once to pack hit carpet
bag for Liberia. Social equality
between him and the whites always
has been, and always will be, whol
ly out of the question.—Savannah
Times.
The following from a NorAcm
exchange suits the case, and it is a
pity that more people in Georgia do
not think like the old countiyman:
bays the exchange: “They tell it
down in Oglelhoipe that while Gen.
Gordon was speaking an old coun
tryman sat upon a rock shaving a
pine stick. And when the orator
finished, the countryman was heard
to mumble, as though uiguiug with
a friend: ‘Well! He done all the
fightin’ endurin’ the war, he whip
ped all V ankees, he saved Georgy,
an' South Carolyny, an Fluridy, an’
Loosyany, an’ Massasippy aa’ the,
rest of the atates, an’ he bill all the
railroads by hissef. That fellow
need* rest, an’ I ain’t for crowdin’
the Govner’sjob onto him. Bacon
[Gordon’s rival tor the nomination
as Governor] is a big strong fellow
an’ seems to want to do somethin’.
I reckon we’d better let him try it
fur awhile.”’

A few clnys ago a reporter on :. ' i:i
conversation with a recruiting L .
the United States cavalry serva- , - i. .
the course of the chat the ofi.c-v
into the discussion of the iihvu u
supplied to the service and the m
which they are fprmshed to tf ;
ment. Xot Iomjt since nOO horses wr ,

in which divisions it is estimaiui
three*fourths of thennny of our< - u.u *
is comprised.
**AIo>: of our cavalry horses,” 11
recruiting sergeant, **nreigst on t ne plains
in the west. Xo one here e;tst can con
ceive the rigor of'our western military
duties or the hardships they entail f>*r the
solus-rs and their beasts. Wo suppose
that the great west is teeming with ver
dure and forage, whereas the fact is that
in vc.y many tracts of country scouting
parties are compelled to ride for a week or
more, at the rate of perhaps fifty nr es a
day, with no grain for their hordes and
very li. tie grass by the way. A general
scrutiuy of the condemned army horses
would show that their retirement from
the service is due more to starvation than
anything else. Very often the trouper's |
horse drops in the ranks from sheer ex- j
haustion and others are so badly used up
that they never recover from the priva
tion and fatigue, and are dually con
demne 1 for use in the Held and shipped io
recruiting stations, where they answer ]
much better even than green horses foi i
drilling recruits. 71 \
PHYSICAL QUALIFICATIONS Dl'.W A\ 1 *KT>.
“What are the physical •jtm’.i'. it Soils
demanded for the selection of buries for
the cavalry service?”*
“Well, in the first place, nano but* geld
ings are taken. The government do--« u<»:
care for stallions or ipares. The animal,
submitted for purchase should staud
at least fifteen hands liiga and
weigh about POO pounds. He sliouhi be
fchort in the back und also short iu the
pastern joints. A ioug-legge«i beast with
a badly-shaped head wouldn't pass, mu
ter at all. Low withers is one of the mo ”
essential points, because a horse with iiigl.
withers is liable to work tho saddle for
ward and get sores; anti once in that con
dition he loses tiesh and becomes wort h-
less. In addition to these specifications,
he must Ihj absolutely tree from contracted
hoofs, or lie won’t pass the inspection of
the board.”
“Ui what manner are horses sccmvdfo.
tlic cavalry service?”
“Generally by advertising. The ia.-i.ic;
ular class of animals desired is becoming
scarcer every day. This,-1 suppose,*is due
to the fact that breeders are giving theii
attention to the raising <»f draught hor.s.-
of the IVrcheron, Xorinan and similar
stock, which are, of course, too slow for
cavalry purposes. It is a singular lac:
that horse dealers, as a rule, consider idn
government legitimate prey for all sori>
of imposition. For, instance, at the las?
inspection, only eight out of sixty horse.-
offered were accepted. Hostlers troib-d
them out for inspection full of conkd-mce
that they could unload their cinpiuveivs*
full stock of useless equities. >u.-.; •
the animals’ innties and foretops ■.. :
plaited and decorated.At’ith strip; : ;
flannel. Their tails were done up iti . >> ,i-
uion bagging of so bulgy a shape-.J- i i
suggest the probability of their , in mg
about ten feet long. Of com
otations had to come off to :n;« % • s::iv
that the tails were all there, and i *'
manes were of hair instead < ,.n.
A nicoliot s LA AMINAT 1-
“If he, iu general outline, is reg;
worthy of consideration at all, lu
ptitted to a rigorous examination
takes up about a quarter ot an hour—all
over him from his teeth to ids fetlocks and
boot's. Then the hostler is directed to
walk the animal up and down.the length
of the yard and afterwards to run him as
fast as the beast can go. If his action is
easy he is ordered 'tied in' for the final
inspection.
“The lustiest is a run up hill for a dis
tance of *J0U yards or so to see if his wind
is goo I. Xo saddle is used. The hostler
sitnpiy mounts and trots to the starting
point, riding back as fust as a liberal ap
plication of cowhide to his lienst cun carry
him. lr the horse passes this muster he
is purchased and led to the blacksmith
shop to lie branded. His^tlrst decoration
is a big l\ S. oti tjie left shoulder. When
he is detailed to a regiment he is burned
again with the regimental brand ami w.tli
the bland of his company on the left hip.
For more perfect idetiulicauou he receives
an additional marking on the lioof and is
then ready for business. 1 know of noth
ing more painful than the branding of a
beast, and I think he knows of nothing
wore painful himself. The brnmN be
come obscure in a few years and an- neces
sarily renewed. It is a peculiar fact that
when the time comes for renewing the
operation nine out of ten animals remem
ber the previous dose, anil it is no easy
matter to reper t it.—Xew York Mail and
