—V 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.
