Linton Stephens’ Lclter# | We publish below, the letter of Mr. Stephens to Gov. Bullock, which will well rep.oy perusal; Toßufus B. Bulloch , Acting Governor cf Georgia : Sir; In a letter of yours, published a few days ngo, in reply to “a promi nent Democrat,', who had “done you the honor” to ask your opinion as to what ought to be done about ihe re cent Democratic victory in this State, your habit of misrepresenting the peo- 1 pie and affairs of Georgia breaks forth against me (in common wu h Gen. Toombs and tbs whole ifth Congressional District) in such calum nious charges as justify me in expos ing both the calumny aud the cunning purpose it was intended to serve. While graciously conceding the geu eral fairness and validity of the election i in all other parts of the State, you make a special exception of the Fifth Congressional District. You say that in that District “a distinguished seces sion leader and a learned attorney have made a law unto themselves, and either through fear or affection for these leaders the white citizeus have generally followed their advice, and have set aside and at defiance the laws of the State, which were consti tutionally enacted, and are of force until constitutionally declared void.”— Again, you speak of the election in the Fifth District as a case “where a whole District set the law at defiance, aud, under the advice of loading public men, nullified the whole system provi ded by law for holding the election, overawed, arrested aud confined the j legally coastitued managers, and plac ed otheis of their own unauthorized appointment in their stead.” And yet again, you characterize the conduct of the whole Fifth District as an “insur rection and usurpation.” Now, all this obviously alludes to nothing but the legal prosecution of the managers of election in the single county of Hancock, and the general adoption of the advice given in an ad dress which was submitted to the peo ple of Georgia just before the election, signed by Gen. Toombs aud myself, aud (as it appeared in the Chronicle & Sentinel,) signed also, by General Wright, Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of the Fifth Con gressional District. You will not pre tend to deny that these are the sole facts on which you have based your charges. The materia] question then is: What are these facts? What is the character of that advice which was generally followed in cases where there was occasion for its application ? WTiat were the grounds on which, aud the mode in which, the arrest and commitment of the managers in Han cock were accomplished ? l'he address speaks for itself. A candid perusal of it will utterly refute everything which you have said of its character, and brand you as a calumniator. I chal lenge you to point out any part of it which advises “insurrection” or “usur pation,” or the setting aside of any law “constitutionally enacted,” or any part which makes for its authors “a law unto themselves.” On the contra ry I affirm that it was from beginning to end, in letter and in spirit, an earn est appeal to the people to invoke aud sustain the constitution aud the laws, not indeed as they had been declared by you and your Legislature, but as they should be expounded and adminis tered by the courts. The address does indeed demonstrate by argument that a certain declaratory act of the Legis lature, pronouncing the poll tax for the years 1868, 1869 and 1870 to be illegal, ie false, unconstitutional, null and void; and that certain parts of the Akerman Election Act requiring managers of election to allow several classes of persons to vote who do not possess the qualifications prescribed for voters by the constitution, are also unconstitutional, null and void. This opinion, so far as the Akerman Act is concerned, is manifestly held by your own Attorney General, Mr. Farrow, a very prominent member of your own branch of the Republican party; for, he, lautwithstauding these provisions of the Akerman Act, said in his pub lished opinion that tne managers had a right, before receiving the ballot of any suspected illegal voter to require him to take an oath that he had all the qualifications prescribed for voters by the constitution. It has also been stated in the Atlanta Constitution news paper, “by authority,” that Ex-Govern or Brown, then Chief Justice of the State, another most prominent mem ber of your party, held the same opin ion. Will you include Chief Justice Brown aud Mr. Attorney General Farrow in your charges of “insurrec tion,” “usurpation,” the setting aside of “laws constitutionally enacted,” and “making a law unto themselves?”— You ought to do so, or else withdraw these grave charges from the Fifth Congressional District and from Gen. Toombs and myseli You ought not to refuse this justice even to the “dis tinguished secession leader,” General Toombs, for when at some hazaid to yourself, sir, you shift the question from matter of evidence to matter oT character, as is sometimes done in des perate criminal cases, the parallel be tween him and these your two confed erates is no less complete in their se cession antecedents than I have shown it to be in their opinions of some of your “laws constitutionally enacted.” I know it is a fashion with you aud your party (with occasional excep- Editors and Proprietors. lions) to give the name and force of “laws” to all acta of Congress and all acts of State Legislatures passed to advance your partisan objects, altho’ such acts may be in plain violation, or avowedly “outside of the constitution from which the legislative body derives all its powers. But a very different view of the matter is taken not only by the address in question, by the peo ple of Hancocic, the people of the Fifth Congressional District and the people of Georgia, but also by other States which have spoken in recent elections at the North and at the South, and, I firmly believe, bv the great mass of the people of the United States. The common creed of all Americans who prefer constitutional government to the despotism of usur pers, is that Acts of the legislative bo dy iu violation or “outside” of the constitution, from which it derives its powers, are not laws, but usurpations-, and that the men who enact them, and the men and tribunals and Executives who uphold and enforce them, with ft knowledge of their want of constitu tional authority, are traitors to the cause of public liberty. When you ac cuse me of opposing usurpations like these, aud appealing to the courts for their suppression, do you not perceive that you do but hold me up as the de fender of the constitution and the laws, and show that it is you who are the advocate of “usurpation,” aud that it is you who have truly" made a law unto yourself?” You shall not be al lowed to ignore the fact that the spe cific advice given by the address was that these unconstitutional acts should be set aside not by lawless violence , but by judicial punishment of tho crimi nals who might take refuge under them. This brings me to the prosecution of the Managers of Election in Han cock. They exclude a man from vo ting who was of full age,. was a resi dent of tho county, and had not pre viously voted in that election; aud who was, therefore, by the express terms of the Akerman Act, not to be excluded. They uauimously excluded him on the ground that he was an admitted con victed felon; thus holding that the Akerman act conflicted with tho con stitution in this case, and to the extent of this conflict was void. Yet, after this, three of(them costituting a majori ty) received the votes of several persons who confessedly had not paid their poll tax for the year next preceeding the election, as required by the consti tution. After the arrest of several of these illegal voters under wurirants ju dicially issued, the three Managers were also arrested b y judicial warrant, charging them under the laws of this State as principals iu the second de gree, with the crime of illegal and fel onious. voting, being present, aiding aud abetting the commission of the crime. They placed their defense on their oath under the Akerman Act, re quiring them to receive the votes of all persons who were of full age, were res idents of the county, and had not pre viously voted in that election - r and also on th 3 aforesaid declaratory act r.f the Legislature, pronouncing sentence of illegality and nullity upon the poll tax. The Judge, after hearing argument on both sides, adjudged the oath as construed by the accused to be in con flict with the constitution, just as they themselves had held it to be in their previous exclusion of the felon; aud he also adjudged the aforesaid declarato ry act, as to the poll tax, to be false, unconstitutional and void. He over ruled the defense as bad in law, and committed the accused to jail with privilege of bail. The Judge, James Cl rence Simmons, who issued the warrant and passed the judgement of commitment, was one oi your own appointment. The source from which he received his appointment is stated simply as a fact, and not at all to his discredit. For his heroic maintenance of judicial integrity on this occasion, his name deserves a high place on the roll of the defenders of Constitutional liberty. The three Managers—headed b y Judge Gonder, a man of marked ty and undoubted courage, and being within sight of the United States sol diers, and sent there under pretence of executing the enforcement act of Con gress—quitely submitted to the judg ment of the Court, and declining to offer bail went to jail, not because they were “overawed,” but because they were only duly awed by the power of truth, and the majesty of law as ad ministered by a judicial tribunal. If you deny the validity of Georgia laws, as expounded and applied by the prop er tribunal, will you not at least admit that these three Managers were guilty uuder the famous enforcement act of Congress, which you claim as “law,” and which, iu its l'Jth section, provides a penalty of three years’ imprisonment and SSOO line for those who, in any congressional election, shall knowingly and wilfully receive the vote of any person not entitled to vote under the laws of his State. You will make this admission unless you have the hardi hood to deny that the constitution of the State is a higher law than acts of the Legislature. After the three Man agers had. been committed to jail, the other two declined to act; and anew Board was organized and proceeded to hold the election de now, not under a “law made unto themselves,” but un der the Uode of the State, providing that an election may be held by as many as three freeholders, if afiei ten o'clock, a. m. the Managers designated by law shall fail to act. This is the truo history of the election in Han cock. It is a record of which her peo ple are justly proud. *3 he only viola tion of law was on tho part of the first Managers and was corrected l\y judi cial interposition at the instance of Democrats. These arc the facts showing how ut t terly unfounded are all your charges. ! But there are still other facts wi.ich show these charges to ba not only un founded, absolutely preposterous —- How could the laws have been set aide, and a reign of “insurrection and usurpation’ introduced, cither iu the Fifth District or any whero else by Democrats t Under the infamous Aker man Act, three out of the five Mana gers at every polling place were ap pointed by you, and the other had to be confirmed b y the S<*. ate, of whom a majority were your partisan*, and some were the creatures, of a joint manipulation between you aud Gen, Terry. Theso five Managers thus ap pointed were clothed with most extra ordinary powers over the liberty of the citizen; and suppled with United States soldiers to execute their orders iu most if not absolutely all the coun ties of the State, certainly all of tho Fifth District. Intimidation, muni tion and lawlessness of nil kinds were under this machinery almost impossible UlJkm&f&L til they wore nut mo. si. practiced by Democrats in the Finn Distriet is plainly provon by the fact that your Managers made no call for the interference of the military at any place in that District. Can just, think ing people allow you to escape form the weight of these crushing facts ? And allow me to ask you, even if tho conduct of Hancock county had been such as you have represented it, how is it that you seek to hold the election in a whole Congressional Dis trict to be invalidated by the action of a single county, whoso entire vote could not possibly change the result ? If the entire election in Haucock were set aside; nay, if tho highest vote ever cast by the county in any previous elec tion were counted entirely iu favor of your party, the Democratic candidates, Corker and Dußo.se, would still bo elected by over 3,000 majority. How is it also, that, even if tho ad dress were of the character which you have ascribed to it, you seek to fasten all its sins upon a single Distriet, when it was made to tho whole people of Georgia, and its advice was followed to a loss or greater extent iu all sections and all Listrids of the State? Tile public will A»e curious to know tho motive for the concentration of your entire attack upon one District, when all the Districts stand substantially upon the same footing. Your gracious exemption of the other Districts is as insidious and cunning as your charges against the Fifth are false and calum nious. “Timeo Danaos el dona fcreates." When you grow gracious, let Demo crats beware! There being no just ground for discrimination among tho Congressional Districts of the State, was impunity for all the other- s the price with which you hoped to buy their co-operation, or at least their si lence, in your crusade against the Fifth ? Did yon have still further hopes that your patronizing kindness might not only cause them to tolerate a foul outrage upon their brethren of the Fifth, but might also seduce them into a repudiation of the principle* emblazoned on the banner under which our common splendid victory has been won ? If so, you are mistak en. Victory is the signal, not for re treat, but for renewed onsets, each still more vigorous than the last, until the forces of usurpation shall be driv en from their last refuge. Under the inspiring influences of success, truo men will become as bold as they are true. This banner, hoisted at Atlanta last August, pledging the Democratic party of Georgia to the principles of the Democratic party of the Union, whose last utterance wan at New York in 1868, denouncing the whole recon struction scheme of Congress as revo lutionary, unconstitutional, null aud void was hailed with enthusiasm when it was first thrown to the breeze.— You may rest assured that it loses nothing in the affections of Democrats all over the Union when it is now seen floating triumphant in victory, (east tailored where borne boldest aud hei l hiyh est in the con flict.

Take an earthen vessel, larger at the top than the bottom, put iu one pint of warm water, one and a half pounds of flour, and half pint of malt yeast; mix well together and sot away iu a warm place, until it rises and falls again, which will be in from three to five hours. Then put two larges poons ful of salt into two quarts of water, nnd mix with the above rising; then put iu about nine pouuds of flour, and work it well; let it rise until light, then make it into loaves.
