Americus Recorder.
~ W.li. OLEIMKR, Editor.
uncial orican or Webster County
MJNDAV,
TUB HEXATOKSIUF.
The Republican of Saturday sayB,
‘■we notice in Friday's Reoobdeh
a leader in favorof Mr. W. D. Mur
ray for the Senatorship from this
district.”
Now we will venture to say that
tbe writer saw no such thing, for
tbe simple reason that it was not
there to see. What the writer
could have seen, If his eyes had
not been blinded by bis prejudices,
was an editorial deprecating tbe
attempt of certain parties in this
city to deprive Schley of her right,
under the system of rotation, to
name the candidate for Senator
So far as Mr. Murray is concerned,
tbe Recorder simply mentioned
the fact that It was understood that
Mr. Murray’s namo would be pre
sented by Schley county as their
candidate for Senator. The Re
cordeb docs not “regard Mr. Mur-
and Schley county as one and the
same thing,” for the very good
reason that Schley county has not
yet presented him as its candidate.
When it does it will be time to dis
cuss bis merits.
Tbe. Recorder opposes the effort
to deprive Sohley of her political
right because it is unfair and im
politic. Ambitious politicians who
look only after their own Immedi
ate personal interests have little
thought or care for the future; but
liie people whose interests are ef
fected should have some thought
and care. They Bbould remember
that while Sumter county may
have the strength to deprive Schley
of her rights this time, Schley com
bining with Macon might serve
Sumter tbo same trick some other
time. Party dissensions are not
conducive to party strength, and a
candidate nominated by question
able methods cannot always de
pend upon hlB party to pull him
through. Even If Schley has only
live thousand votes, she is entitled
to consideration as a part of the
distriot, and if it has been tho cus.
tom to givo her her turn in nomin
ating a Senator she has that light
until It is abrogated by the district
convention. In this we do not
ooncedc the right of Schley to
name an objeotionable and unlit
man, and until sho does this Sum
ter has no voioo iu tbe matter.
The Recorder bas no names to
suggest to Schley, considering her
people to have sense enough to
make a proper solcotion. Neither
does it propose in advance to dis
cuss the merits of gentlemen pro
posed for the place. That will
properly como up before the Sena
torial convention.
The Republican says tbe argu
ment used by tho Recorder, that
Americus would lose trade by pur
suing an unfair course, is all clap
trap. That it is to be proved; but
it certainly stands to reason that
we cannot oxpcct tho trade of peo
ple whom we have defrauded. The
Republican says, ‘‘It is from tho
farmers of Sohley we get a portion
of our trade, and we will continue
to get it as long as we deal honest
ly and fairly with them.” All true;
but when we deal dishonestly and
unfairly with them by depriving
them of their political rights we
will naturally Iobs that trade.
Tho Recorder, in thus advocat
ing a due regard for the rights of
Sohley, is animated only by a do-
sire to advanco the interests of
Americus and the Democratic party
in this distriot. It has no. desire
to see a muss kicked up that some
ambitious politician may take ad
vantage of it to boost his political
aspirations. When it comes Sum
ter's time to name tbe candidate for
Senator, the Recorder will be
zealously insisting upon a recogni
It is an unusual thing for the
leading newspapers of a country to
advise its readers to emigrate, but
the rpost influential Neij - England-
journals tee strongly favorlng or
ganised colonization of the south.
The Boston Advertiser takes a sen
sible view of tbe project. It ad
mits that northern men who settled
in the south just after the war
found themselves on a fool's er
rand, but with the progress of
years a radical cliango has taken
place in the public opinion of both
sections. The plan now suggested
is to send northern emigrants here
in companies. They are to secure
large tracts of land in favorable lo*
caiities. No paupers are to bn sent.
Tbe colonies are to be Intelligent
and well to do people, and they are
advised to go prepared to build
their own villages, carrying with
them skilled workmen, ministers,
teachers and other useful elements
of society. There is much to he
said iu favor ot this plan, but
northern emigrants are not com
pelled to come here in colonics. If
They settle anywhere in tbe south,
singly or in families, they will find
no prejudices to overcome. The
social laws which regulated their
position at home wilt regulate their
position here. They will draw
around them congenial circles,
they will find no obstacle in tbeir
pathway that cannot be overcome
by intelligence, integrity, industry,
enterprise and that due considera
tion for the feelings of others which
is the supreme test of the Christiun
citizen. The southern people arc
not a sectional fragment of the nu-
tion; they are part and parcel of
one homogeneous family Atlanta
Constitution. j
Tho country was startled the
other day by the publication of a
circumstantial account of tbe plans
of a wealthy syndicate of promi
nent men, who proposed to pur
chase Cuba and turn It into a to
bacco plantation, under the protec
tion of tho United States. Ex-
Governor Warmonth was said to
be at the head of tbo movement,
backed by tbe Rothschilds. The
story bad a rather fishy look, and
it turns out that it was written by
that brilliant Washington Bohemi
an, George II. Butler, tbs "nephew
of his uncle." Butler acknowledges
that be had no groundwork of fact
for his romance; but says that
Warmouth was in Washington the
other day, lie thought he would
wrlta something about him, aud
not knowing what else lo do ho in
vented the Cuban sohemo.
Two American citizens have been
put to breaking Btone in Mexico
because they Bpoke “disrespectful
ly” of President Gunzalcs. Under
tho oparution of our beautiful re
publican administration, with Hat
ton as assistant acting president,
and six British clerks to run tbe
slate department, the American
citizens will continue to peek rock
in the laud of liberty uutii Presi
dent Gunwbales chooses to turn
them loose. It will be seen from
this that the Amoricau republic is
a stupendous affair until the pop-
pery Mexican steps up and takes
it by the nose. The republicsn
party sliould be put out.
Congressman Converse, one of
the Democrats who voted against
tbe Morrison tariff bill, has been
defeated for nomination, from
which it would be reasonable to
infer that bis constituents did not
like his stylo of voting.
