'StQm Mr. C. B. Blacker, a special in
ternal revenue assessor for the State
of Georgia, reports that he has just
returned to Atlanta, Ga., from For
syth, Hall, Dawson and Lumpkin
counties, bringing fourteen prisoners,
800 gallons of peach and apple bran
dy, and corn whisky, and seven mules
and two wagons, all captured from !
illicit distillers.— Washington Patriot.
Blacker fails to “report” that he ar
rested and placed in irons a peaceful j
and respectable citizen of the State
because he refused to permit Blacker
and his squad of soldiery to pass over
his toll-bridge free of charge. He fail
ed, also, to “report” that he ‘captured’ 1
the same gentleman’s wagon and team !
as “spoils of war,” and took them off j
to Atlanta. These are facts which i
Blacker ought not to overlook in mak
ing his reports at Washington.
[Chronicle fc Sentinel.
If Mr. Blacker fails to make re
port of the outrages which he has
committed against peaceable, law-abid
ing citizens of this State, wholly unau
thorized by the commission which ho
holds, cannot the Representative of
the District in which these high-hand
ed transactions took place see to it,
that he is properly dealt with at the
proper department ? And if nothing
can be effected in.this way, can he not
bring the matter before Congress, so
4hat, the country at least, may know T
what oppressions are visited upon
good and harmless citizens by these
emb-officials of the government ? It is
to conduct like this, that much of the
disturbance of the country is to be at
tributed, and opposition to the gov
ernment justly kept alive. We say
then, to Mr. Price, look into this mat
ter, get up all the facts, and see to it,
that your constituents are redressed
for the wrongs perpetrated upon them
by their agent, and let the people of
the North know how it is that good
and law-abiding citizens of this coun
try are dragged in irons to prison, by
petty officials who lord it, at will,
ovor our people, supported by the
bayonets of Grant. Wo are informed
that one of these gentlemen, is as pi
ous a man as the Up country affords,
and is wholly innocent of any viola
tion of law; and we cannot believe
that any people in aDy portion of this
country will sustain any party or gov
ernment, which upholds any such
lawless invaders of the rights of their
fellow-citizens. See to* it, Mr. Price.
We know that parties wrongfully
arrested and otherwise mal-treated
have their remedy in Court against
tresspassers upon iheir rights, and
may carry their cases before juries for
redress, but what we desire is, that
these matters be brought to the con
sideration of Congress itself, so that
the whole country may know the evils
under which we labor. Newspaper
notices are set down as one-sided,
false party statements, and the peo
ple of the North are left in ignorance
of the actual condition of things at the
South. If this were done we believe
that public sentiment there would ef
fect a more wholesome administration
at Washington. We have now Rep
resentatives and Senators, who can
properly present our wrongs, and we
suggest the propriety of their doing
so in this, and every other case.
That we have not over-stated the
violations of law in this particular
case, we refer our readers to the sub
joined Charge of Judge Erskii e to the
Grand Jury, at the District Court,
now in session at Atlanta:
Iu regard to the action of certain
parties in Hall, Forsyth and Lumpkin
counties, the Judge handled them
“with gloves off.” He said, in sub
stance: “I feel it to be my duty—a
most painful duty—as the j dicial of
ficer of the government of the United
States for the State of Georgia, to
mention to you an act Os great °wrong
—if, indeed, it is not deserving the still
graver name of outbade -which Ims
been'done to a citizen of the United
States and a resident of this Judicial
District. I am informed by credible
authority that, some two or three weeks
ago, certain persons acting in the ser
vice of the Revenue Department, while
in the lawful duty of searching for
and arresting violators of the revenue
laws, became transgressors of the stat
uary laws of Georgia. Coming to a
toll bridge in one of the upper coun
ties. they offered to the man in charge
some written or printed paper culled
scrip to pay for the toil. The man
took it, and they were with their piis
oueis about to cross, when the owner
of the bridge came up and refused to
let them pass unless they paid the toll
iu money. The owner had a gun in his
hand—nearly all the other side were
likewise armed.
No haul words it appears passed be
tween them. They burst open or beat
down the gate, seized the owner of the
bridge, plaev and handcuffs upon him,
tied a rope around his waist, refused
to allow him to speak to his family or
get a change of cloths, aud in this con
dition marched him to this city and
charged him before W. B Smith, Uni
ted States Commissioner, with the of
fense of resisting officers of the Gov
ernment in the lawful discharge of
their duties. The parties showed by
their own testimony ifa the examina
tion, substantially the foregoing state
c-f facts. Hon. J. D. Pope, United
St at os District Attorney, who was
present and conducted the case for the
Government, when he heard the testi
mony, with laudable indignation, mov
ed fch*> Commissioner to discharge the
accused, and be was immediately re
leased. I have been informed that one
of the Deputy United States Marshals
was preeettt when these acts were done.
I also learn from the District attorney
and Major Smyth, United States Mar
shal, that there was no evidence what
ever before the Commissioner implica
ting him in the transaction. But to
return. If persons will have the te
merity to violate the criminal laws of
the United States, the Constitution
and the acts of Congress provide the
mode of executing process us of the
United States Courts—they have the
power and will not be backward in en
forcing them. Then I say let no man
dare take the laws into his own hand,
for where this has been permitted, (as
has been the case often of late -in this
and neighboring States by bands of
outlaws) anarchy and confusion reign.
We trust that all of our citizens in
| the upper counties and elsewhere will
1 be careful to observe all the revenue
j laws of the United States, as well as
' all others, so that there may be no
j pretext for visits from officers with
! soldiers.
[Communicated.
Emigration-
Since the war, Cherokee Georgia
has lost many of her valuable citizens,
who have sought themselves out
homes in the West; some desirous of
settling themselves on land which they
could buy cheaper than Georgia land,
with the intention of earning from the
soil an honest livelihood, others seek
ing a place to locate for life in one of
the professions.
From communication with many
who have thus sought the world’s el
dorado, we are grieved to heur that
all is not as well with them as we
would like to have it—not, by any
means, as they expected it to be. We
regret their condition, and sincerely
hope that they, through the blessing of
a kind Providence, may be enabled to
better that condition at an early day.
While we regret their emigration from
our midst, and their condition now,
we more deeply regret that there ever
existed cause to force many of them
away from the land of their Wrth !
We have considered, and do now
think, that the controling cause which
necessitated the emigration of the
greater number of them, was their in
ability to purchase a home in Georgia.
In a great many instances, that inabil
ity was pecuniary; they were not only
not able to buy a home, but could not
secure rent lands upon which they
could make enough to support a fami
ly, after paying the customary rents of
the country. Unable to buy! because
they did not have money enough to
take a whole plantation! Unable to
rent! because the owners of land, in a
great many instances, had rather rent
land to the more ignorant and depend
ent classes of society; a class' easier
controlled, easier satisfied with the
terms of a rental contract!
Now, land owners of Georgia! to
you, we put the direct question: Are
you satisfied that your policy towards
these emigrants has enhanced your
interest— that it has advanced the in
terest and welfare of your country ?
Suppose you had sold off a few hun
dred acres of your vast plantation, and
settled these good and true men near
by you as neighbors, then invested the
money arising from the sale of that
laud, in building and fitting up ten
ant houses on the balance of your
land, for rent, or sale, or invested it
wisely in railroad or city bonds—some
thing that would pay vou more than
land now lying idle, or even now, be
ing annually lessened in value, on ac
count of the loose system of agricul
ture employed by those who are
tending it for you ? You would not
only have interest-bearing bonds, pay
ing you an annuity, out of which you
might, at some day, educate your chil
dren, but you would have a native
Georgian as a neighbor, whose wife
and and tough ter, and whose sons might
new be enjoying the society of those
they have known and loved siuce
childhood., instead of enduring the
hardships of a life in t.Ue West among
strangers, and who now, ought to be
enjoying the fruits of your civilized so
ciety, convenient to ycur churches and
your schools.
Talk no more of inviting a stream
of emigrants to pour in, with capital
to develop your mineral inten sts, and
build up manufactories in your midst,
until you have taken steps to stem the
tide of emigration that annually flows
out. In our opinion, the quickest and
most certain way to do this, is to re
dneo your plantations* to just land
enough to make a good living upon,
under your present system of agricul
ture; then cultivate that land upon
the basis of the very latest improved
system of labor; make manures and
enrich the soil until an acre will pro
duce thjpe times as much as it does
now, and you cannot only live, but
have a surplus, annually, to add to
your capital already invested.
Don’t cry there is no purchaser ! but
do with your land as you would with
a horse, after the resolve is made to
sell; you hunt up the man to buy; sell
upon reasonable terms, and while you
may be careful in selecting a neighbor,
don’t be too anxious to get the whole
amount of the purchase money in cash,
for Southern men are not able, many
of them, to pay cash, and if you de
mand it they, of course, must go where
they can buy either cheaper or upon
time.
Let this great and good work com
mence, and in a few years our section
of the State will be densely populated.
Then land will be worth more, corn
more, wheat more; and thousands of
dollars now invested iu land in Chero
kee Georgia, which is hardly paying
the owners thereof, 2\ per cent, cn
the investment, will be taken, and if
not invested in Bonds, be ready to com
bine and confederate in the grand
and glorious work of digging the iron
from the bowels of our noble hills,
moulding and making it useful to the
world, buildiug Cotton Factories to
vie with similar enterprises, either do
mestic or Foreign.
We want capital! capital] capital!
is the cry of everybody, and the truth
of the matter is simply, there is
capital enough in land in Georgia, and
especially in Cherokee Georgia, that is
pacing little or nothing to its holders
that would supply the demand for the
much needed article, if Cherokee Geor
gia simply had courage to lay their
hands uponit. Reduce your plantation.
Stem the constant tide of emigration,
and by offering to sell upon reasonable
terms, invite immigration to locate in
one of the most favored portions of
the world. Bartow.
MORE CAPTURES!
A Government Team Drowned
in Pickens County.
Four Prisoners Escaped !
A party under Lieut’s Bradley and
Blacker, made an arrest of eight men
for illicit distilling iu Murray or some
adjoining county, and also eleven stills.
On their way returning to the ci.y,
four of the prisoners escaped, and an
entire team of four mules was drown
ed in Talking Rock Creek, iu Pickens
count}'. A horse tied to the wagon
was also drowned. The recent rains
which had swollen this stream deciev
ed the party as to its depth and tin y
yentured into it with the result stated.
The raiders have been doing an ex
tensive business fill £>ver the State,
and continue to run a hea?y schedule,
in seizing men, whiskey, property} and
using extraordinary efforts in suppress
ing a violation of this great United
States law. It is well that people
should be law-abiding, and equally im
portant that the officers whose duty it
is to enforce law or execute its man
dates, should be faithful, prudent, just
and efficient. Atlanta Sun.
From the Atlanta Sun.
Meridian, Mississippi.
We reached this new city of the
pine-woods just as day, after having
rolled back the storm-clouds, was lift
ing up the curtains of night. The
newspapers’ aud passengers’ accounts
of excitement on account of the recent
tragedy, had prepared me for the worst.
But all appeared serene. A word,
however, with either white or black,
satisfied me that though now all was
probably serene, a volcano had but re
cently thrown up its seething lava up
on the young city. You have had tel
egraphic reports of this matter, so I
will therefore say but little. To sum
matters up, from inquiries made of all
parties, it seems that the negroes have
really been intolerant—insolent is not
strong enough—in Meridian for the
past two years. They have not yield
ed an inch. One gentleman told me
men have been frequently stopped on
the streets at night by negroes with
pistol in hand. He said it was worth
a man’s life to go two squares after nine
o’clock at night. Right here I remem
bered, about six years ago, I went
gome six squares to the telegraph of
fice in said city after that hour. I felt
my hair curl up a little, and my hat
weDt flying from me—all of which I
took to be the effect of wind. Had I
known then what I do now, I fear I
should have had very curly hair, if in
deed any scalp left.
But joking aside, and making allow
ance for all excitement, the good peo
ple of Meridian have had much to bear
from insolent darkies. Negroes in Mis
sissippi are very different, in villages,
from negroes in Georgia. I don’t
know but what with the difference of
surroundings we would gain by swap
ping Bullock for Alcorn as Governors.
Yet the latter in this State seems com
peted to do what a worse man would
not dare do with us. I heard negroes
quote him as their defender in their
lawlessness. And it is in evidence that
Clofton, lay lor & Cos., the negroes on
trial, had publicly declared, the Gov
ernor would protect them. They had
threatened, so I was informed, ven
geance upon the property of rebels,
and upon their wives and children.—
Whatman be said in defence of ne
groes who would kill a Judge whose
only offence seemed to !>e the calling
a witness to order whilst testifying,
and then coolly firing into a crowd of
people. I can t see. The Legislature
have appointed a committee to inves
tigate matters, and United States
troops have been ordered to Meridiau.
Everything seems to be quiet to-day,
but I am greatly mistakeu if the good
people of this city have not concluded
that longer forbearance has ceased to
be a virtue. They are law-abiding—
they desire to uphold and enforce the
law; but the conoiousuess of this very
feeling, if its exhibition in their past
conduct be disregarded by those in au
thority, may lead to results worse than
anything recently witnessed. I must
hope that the protest against the con
duct of the blacks by the whites of
both parties, will have weight with those
in power. Surely it cannot be that life
property, business, must all succumb
to this morbid seutimentallity in favor
of a black skin. Are not our wives and
children, our homes and our property,
deserving of any consideration from
those in position to shield and protect
them ? But more anon.

The Chester Difficulty. -The Co
lumbia Phoenix, of yesterday says:
We received last evening the follow
ing from Chester, S. C.:
March 9, 1871.
Mr. Editor: The excitement and
troubles here stiff continue, notwith
standing the arrival of United States
troops yesterday. A most daring at
tempt was made to burn the town last
night. Had it not been frustrated,
our entire business part of town would
have been in asheg this morning. The
colored fire company known as the
Champion Hook and Ladder Compa
ny, have given up their apparatus, re
fusing to aasist iu ease of fire and
many of them express themselves that
the town can burn and be d—d; that
they will render no assistance.
Information from the country, this
morning is, that the negroes "(about
800) have left the plantations and col
lected at Sanders’ store, about pleven
miles above here, and near Carmel
Hill. It is supposed that half of them
are armed. A collision is expected to
day. The negro militia company that
left here on Tuesday morning came in
to collision with the whites yesterday
morning, near Carmel Hill. The af
fair lasted for an hour, and ended with
a loss of eight killed. White loss,
one wounded. There is no business
doing and many plantations are idle.
The New Bayonet Eeleetion Act.
The new' bill, which has now passed
both houses of Congress, called the
Enforcement, act, and which is design
ed to exceed in effectiveness as a piece
of election machinery that of the last
session, will, it is to be presumed, be
come law by the favor of the Presi
dent. We have heretofore given a
pretty full and accurate exhibit of its
astonishing pfbvisions, under which
penalties of fine and imprisonment are
imposed regarding the registration of
voters, which is virtually to be taken
possession of by the Federal officials,
and also the conduct of the elections
—the operation of the acL to be no
longer limited to cities and towns of
20,000 inhabitants, if two citizens ask
for its application in places of lesser
note. For any supposed interference
or non-submission of State to Federal
officers iu these matters, primarily
undertaken ffj ie State itself, parties
are subject to be arrested without
warrant by the (Jutted States Marshal
or his deputies, and provision is made
for the transfer of any suit brought by
an aggrieved citizen against a Federal
officer from a State Court to a United
States Circuit Court, and to render
the judgment of a State Court in such
a case null and void.
If this is not degrading and debas
ing the States wantonly and malig
nantly, it is difficult to conceive what
it is. The act of the last session, if
wo mistake not, reacted injuriously
upon the dominant political party in
the country which passed it, ostensibly
for the purpose of securing the purity
of elections. It was for certain locali
ties only, that time—but now it seems
corruption is everywhere. It has
grown so rapidly that the law must be
so framed as to be brought to bear at
will in all quarters, and be made more
stringent aud usurping than before.—
It is difficult to believe that it will not,
instead of promoting the party ends
of those who passed it, bring indignant
rebuke towards them from among the
people. In this State the Republicans
reaped only evil and less from the law
as it stood at the last election, and it
can do them no good, it is believed,
within the borders of Maryland here
after.—Baltimore Sun.
Cio It, Whitely.
Radicalism is a curious humbug.
Properly diagnosed, it means individu
al and collective plunder. It works
on the great rule of get all you can
aud keep all you have. It is the syn
onyms for “snatching,” as one of At
lanta's versatile representatives and
apostles of its peculiar creed, once fe
licitously said in the writer’s presence.
There is Whitely, who was elected
United States Senator by Bullock’s Le
gislature in one of its pliant moods,
and who was unsatisfied with senato
rial honors*or dubious of their realiza
tion, took stock in a race for the H use
of Repreceutatives in the Second Dis
trict of Georgia.
The man was elected Senator when
the office had already been filled by
the identical Legislature that elected
him; while he was beaten by Tift for
Representative.
This discouraging state of things
would have paralyzed any but a square
out, legitimate disciple of Radicalism.
Elected to an office already filled, aud
beaten for another office, ordinary men
would have caved. Not so, with this
political gamb er. His ilk takes all
chances, and Whitely stuck to the crib,
and tugged for other people’s rights te
naciously.
Iu honest times, -under rule of cor
rect men and true principles, this pres
tidigi.ator would have iguominiously
been kicked into his merited obscurity.
But now, in :hese evil days, his leg

the time he was elected to the date of
its decision against him. The House
admitted him though a beaten candi

Georgia Represent at i e for the entire
session of the 41st Congress.
We thus see the anomalous and ex
traordinary spectacle of a political
adventurer drawing pay from the
Federal Government “as both Sen
ator and Representative from the same
State for the same session, though he
was iuelligible for one office aud beat
en for the other. All this time he wag
drawing a salary from this State as a

WALTHAM
WATCHES.
The extensive tlse of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and Expressmen, the most exact
ing of watch-wearers, has thoroughly de
monstrated the strength, steadiness, durabil
ity and accuracy of the W iltham watch.—
To satify that class in all these respects, is
to decide the question as to the real value of
these time-keepers.
More than 500,000 of these watches
are now speaking for themselves in the
pockets of the people —a proof and a guar
antee of their superiority over all others.
The superior organization and great ex
tent of the Company’s Work’s at Waltham,
enables them to produce watches at a price
which renders competition futile, and those
who buy any other watch merely pay 25 to
50 per cent, more for their watches than is
necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that a long experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had the refusal
of nearly every invention in watch making
originating in this country or in Europe,
only those were finally adopted which
severe testing by the most skillful artisans
in our works, and long use on the part of
the public, demonstrated to be essential to
correct and enduring time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize :
The invention and use of a centre-pinion
of peculiar construction, to prevent damage
to the train by the breakage of mainsprings,
is original with the American Watch
Company, who, having h*d the refusal of all
other contrivances, adopted Fogg’s patent
pinion as being best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs,now
universally admit ted by Watchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof
capg, .protecting the movement from dust,
and lessening the necessity of the frequent
cleaning necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-wind r, or keyless
watch is already a decided success, and a
great improvement on any stem-winding
watch in the American market, and by far
the cheapest watch of its quality now offer
ed to the public. To those living in por
tions of the United States where watch
makers do not abound, watches with the
above mentioned improvements which tend
to insure accuracy, cleanliness, durability
and convenience, must prove invaluable.

by the Company are as follows:
