Tbc South Side of Public
Square,
This beautiful portion of our town is
beginning to assert its claims of superi
ority in a business point to the mush
room growth of Depot street. A few
minutes spent in the store of our active
and enterprising Grocer Merchants,
Messrs. Greer & Simmons, will thor- j
oughly eonvince you of the fact that on
tlic svuare where every citizen of the
county is necisarily compelled to be, is
the place to sell gaods. We ven ure
the assertion that our merbeents on the
equre are selling more goods, paying
less rent, and have more good and sub*
stantial customers than any otters of
the square.
We sec parties who have li ft the
are rcturniog. We all'ide to

Bunch, one of tho oldest citizes and the
best of business men, has opeued on the
Seuth side in one of Capt. Dick Fietcl
tr’s store ro f me, which be has recently
bad thort ughly refitted; our friends,
B. McDonald, Capt. Alcxardcr, and
M. Bishop ( are all on this port on cf
the rquare doing a thriving business.—
We wouid call the attention of thore
wishing to engigo in business this fall
to tho superior advantages of this part
of town. Strike wLile the iron is hot,
rents are going up hero and falling else
where.
Thomas Vs Terrell.
We learn from the Macou Telegraph
that only soar white men in Thomas
county will vote the Grant and Colfax

If there is one wh’te man in Terrell
that will vote such a ticket, he is asham ■

Special message of the “Express
Agent.”
In the Legislative proceedings of
Wednesday, says the Chronicle dc Sen• j
ttnel, which we publish elsewhere, will .
be found the “Express Agent’s” special
message to the II >uso of Represents- :
lives, in relation to the eligibility of
negroes to hold office in this State.
Bullock i?, whatever else may be said
of him, a sincere and consistent advn- 1
cite of negro supremacy ic the South
He hates the whi'e people of the South
so intensely that he would prefer to
see all tho offices in the State filled by
the most ignorant and corrupt of the
blac race, rather than have good govern
ment admini-tered by white men. He
is an exceedingly ignorant bat a very
vindictive maa.
Bis message docs not rise to the dig
nity us an argement. If the question
were, wbe her, under the Civil Rights
bill and the Reconstruction acts, ibe
negroes arc made citizens, there might
be some point in his frequent allusions
to the so-called Coosti'uticn of the State
on that sui j'ot. No one denies that in
bo far as the Civil Rights bill, the Re
construction bills and ehe so called C in
stitution are Constitutional and Vnd
iup the negroes arc made citixen*. But
neitbut the legislation of Congress or
the provisions of the so-called Sta'c
Constitution, confers on them the right
to bold office. Indeed no one know
better than Bn’b ok, that an attempt wee
made in the Convention which framed
the C- nstiturioo to insert a prov sion
qrelaring negroes eligible for office, and
that i* ws« defeated by a vote of more
than three fourths of the negroes and
Badi« ! s wlc were in »fce ConvmCor

The ftdlirwlr.g iippropriute and truth
ful Words were addressed to the Freed
men of Aikin, South Carolina, at a re
cent rmiNs mee ing of freedmen at ’.hat
place, by Gen. Wade Hampton. We
commend the extract to the l're dmeD
of Georgia and Alabama. Gen. Hamp
ton was a lurge slave holder and a
humane rn.rter. This portion <f bw
speech was responded to by the freed
men with aceUnutioos of iqipLuso:
1 nuw want to say a few words to the
colored people, of whom I am glad to
see many here. I believe, aud I have
told them that, if tbc interests of tbo
white man arc at stake, theirs are even
moio in jeopardy. If the worst cornea
to the worst, the white man can gather
his household goods, and carry his sor
row and bis suffering to another iar.d.—
Hut, before the black min can go away
he must make money enough. Even
then there is no (lace in which be
would bo treated as well as he is
here. If he goes te the North or North
west, be will be met as an enemy. 1
assert and l have bes re this, expressed
my wil iugness to grant more rights to
the colored people than any Northern
State has shown a willingness to
in tbo recent election. I feel that the
interests <f the black men and tl.o white
men of the South are bound op together
I feel that the black id.,n arc Southern
men, that wa were, born upon tho same
soil, and that we have lived our past
lives together. 1 know that as the
white man prospers so will the Llack
man prosper. I know that if the white
man beoomes poor and broken down
the black man will share the same fitc.
The Radicals have made many promis
es, but wheD they have got what they
wanted they all iwed the colored people
to whistle down the wind and shift lor
themselves. I te I you that if you are
so unfortunate as to draw a lioe be
tween the white people of the South!
aud yourselves, you will swo fiud that
you have no friends at all. The white
men will bring other white men iuto
(far country who will work cheaper than -
tho colored man. In a few years they
will have occupied every foot ol ground
where you now dwell. They will be j
hired by the owncis of the land, andi
gradually, but peaceful y aud surely,
they will spread over the country, and
tbc colt, red man will be driven out, and
will disappear as the Indian has disap
peared before the onward march of the
white man. It is the law of God, and it
will be so sure as there ia a God iu
Heavenu I bcl evo that the colored
man can do-rcat good in this ecuutry.
VVe recognize bis fteedjtu fully It is
our interest (bat be should make stood
crops and receive good wages. E/en if
we were not actuated hy old acquaint
ance and friendship, our in crests would
compel us to look af.er his welfare. And
for tboir welfare, we advis: them to help
us to drive away the Uidietls and scala
wags who are in our midst. My colored
friends, do as was done in Mississippi.
There the colored majority was greater
in propoition than it is here, but the
colored men came te the support of their
only friends, swept ovor the Slate, and
voted down the reconstruction constitu
tion by a majority of 10,000. That is
what you mil do here, although perhaps
not now. You will find that Radical
promises of forty acres of laud aud a
uiule will come to Dotbing. They will
give you a piece of land six fiet by
three feet, enough to bury you iu, but
you will get no more exoept as other
people do, by buying and paying lor it-
Deceiving tiib Poor Negroes.—
Tbe mean, unprincipled white wie'ebes
who addressed tb6 crowd of negroes at
the City Pad, Thuisday night, played
upon their credulity by deliberately ass
serting what they knew to be a lie, to
wit: ‘That in the event of tbe election
of Seymour and Blair, they (the ne
groes) would all be put back iuto slave
ry again ” Every intelligent colored
mae knows that the whi'e people of
tbe South do not desire any such thing,
and fu'ther that tbe great mass of the
white neop.'n would vote against and, if
necessary, ligh! agaii.s: the rceni-Lve
meut of the uegro. But the unpnnoi
pled white scoundrels, who are leading
tbe poor negroes against their best in
; teresis, have determined to persist in
their trade of misrepresentation, it be
ing iht only hope they have of living at
the expense of tbe col red man. Tbe
time, however, is not far distant wben
these creatures will fisd tbeir just des
serts at tbe haDds of a people whom tb‘y
have goaded into id almost total disre
gard of law and order. Let Dot these
wretches flutter themselves of security
from dauger if ever such a direful ca
lamity s ould come upon the people,
white and black. Tne good people of
Georgia have no war to make against
the colored man. They will not be re
sponsible for tbe result of insurrection
ary appeals to tbeir pat-ions and preju
dices. The pn.ceful, law-abid in?, long
forbeir-ng citizens of Georgia will only
bold tbe ring-leaders responsible. Up
on tbe beads ot tbe guilty shall the pun
ishment be inflicted.

Atlanta, Augu-t 10 1808 —Messrs
W. W. Screw*, J Ii dgsou aud A
11. Moses— Gentlemen: —Y urs of tbo
eighth iDsfant i* received. My heart
is with you, as w uld bo my band at.d
head ia as ion and council on the day
you defigna’e, if a multitude of public
and piivatc eugagciuduta did uot abio
lu’clv forbid
You understand tho momentous char
actor of the issues bif.re tbo country.—
No hyperbole can exagerato them.
VVny is the whole country so *rou' ed !
Why are we at ihe South and tbc great
masses at the Nor<; a culis'ed in this
campaign ? \V ”y do vve see the M White
Ii ye iu li'/de” and tho white boys who
recently were “the Gray,’- the Boldins
<>t (ho .North and the soldiers of tho
South, the m**u who recently confronted
each other in the war, uow moving side
by side with locked shields under the
same banner J The reason is obvious.
They have now a common enemy.
They surrendered secession and ac
cepted lluion uu.ier tho consti'ution
The soldiers of tho N.orth enlisted to
light s otEisiou. They and those who
gave their money and sons to tlo army,
b-lieved its triumph of the Union and
constitution. The (’institution is the
only bond of this Uuion Upon this
all arc agreed. There can be no other
bond of uuioo under our system. Yot
without a blush, without a pang, the
oracles of li 'publicanistn- -tbs common
enemy—in utter sc to of responsibility,
aud iu utter contempt of public opinion
proclaim and praciioe a policy ol tyran
ny “outside ot iLccoos itution.” Hence
the 8-tuh iceL she has been deceived ;
while many at the Noith, who supported
the war, feel that they have beeu de
iraudcd of the just trophies of their tri
umph, and cheaicd out of their blood.
As sequences of this “outside” legisla
tion have foil wed a series o’
wrong*, each ot which has been the pa
reut of a whole brood of evils and op
pressions.
“Disunion” has been perpetuated in
vioiauou of the implied terms of surren
der against the manifest wishes ot a
large majoriiy of the people ol both sec
tions.
Taxation wi’hout representation, a
wbico Saxon Liberty turns pale becaus
it has always been the portent, the pre
cursor, hunerto the baun. r of bloody
revolutions ; this rbain less cutraee ha?
beeu p- rpeiuated by the common enemy,
not only wi'bout auibotity, but wnhi-u
the condescension of apology.
The opeu coronation has biou in the
face ot day, of the military ever prtß
trate constitutions, aod all the old sacred
institutions of civil iibcity the sub
stance, the essa ce, the very d.fiuiliou
of despotism.
Tae States . f ibis Union, likccop
tive monarch es of autiquity in old
Home, have he.n made to in .rah bes- re
the charriot ■ wbither tbe Federal Ex
ecu'ive and Juliciary, representative ol
the rest, have been dragged at the wheels
of this triumphant tyrunuy.
They have evinced tbe same r-cer
etice f>r the constiu ion of our Futh
ers that Caligula did for the Ron.au,
when in couumpt and derision of the
people, tbe baugbty nionaicli invested
bis ruling borse with the dignity of the
consulate over tbe prostrate neck of that
once ptuud people. Evea when they
have used some of tbe stimu ated con
stitutional forms, such as elic’ions, to
perfect the schemes, these have only
been tbe sheath of the p itiard that th< y
might give the fatal stab to liberty with
more cunning security
To crown all and clap the climax of
these enormi ies they have made a re
cently se/vile race tie pol.tieal superi
ors of tbe educatod classes of the South,
and now by tbe vilest tools of party to
shape the prt ju lies and incrcae; tbe ba
tr and of this race against the whites, by
representations which they know to be
false, and thus to provoke a war of races
which they know to he imminent.
What are we to do ? Eudure ! That
is tbe great virtue that we must con
tinue to practice until the magnanimous
millions of the North, wbo feel outraged
by these wrongs, shah right them at the
ballo -box. Wo have borne much—
we have much to boar now-.particular
ly you of Alabama. Bu: let us exer
cise the extteme of self-control ; abstain
from violence and undue excitement.
Radicalism lives up u excitement. It
is a great speculator in the pathetic. It
alttmpts to deceive and madden the
honest sympatlies of the North by get
ting up a spectacle of Blood, just as tbe
Metadore of tbe Bpabi.-h bull fight
goads and maddens tbe noblu animal
to bis death by staying before him tbe
obj ct of bis special averson -the blood
red scarf. Let us cmieaver to disappoint
them. Let us not visit upon the beads
of tbe uufortuate and and luded negro the
sins of the bad wbi’e men who teach
him to abandon, bate and insult o;s
test friends.
Let lit) be kind and forbearing toward
him still—remembering that be is be
guiled iuto the commission of ontrages
by unscrupulous demagogues all over
the S uth, wbo are now persuading; him
that if the Democratic party triumphs,
it will re In.-lave him I repeat, let us
be kind and foibearing. We may thus
avoid collision. Os this, however, I
am not sanguine, for tbe Radicals
among u« are intent upon. Blood, not
truth is tbeir capital in trade—excite
ment and passion tbeir only amuuition
ia this campaign—and we must not per
mit ihim to get up a row, blow out tbe
lights, and then in tbe confusion of
false issues, escape tbe just judgements
of ibe long sufferiug Southern, and in
dignant Northern people.

from Washington city Galveston
News, Aug. Ist.
Since reading the above paragraph
from your aide W.sbiDgton ern spoil
dent in your daily issue < t the ffth ult,
I havo duly considered the move there
in defined. It is a subject for serious
tbuoghr. It appears that this is a Aa
tional organization —to extend into every
Stole an county ut the United Stater—
which relieves it from the odium that
has here'ofore a'tsched to organ zations
of this kind, they are merely local in
thoir n iture, and ttrictly Southern iu
their character.
1 am, and always have been, opposed
to secret political organ zations. Bat can
an organization ct this nature, at this
par'icnlar time, be considered, in Texas
a strictly political organization? The
oaDtest upon which wt are uow enteimg
i.* uot merely for political ascendancy.
With iho Southern people, this, in the
abstract , is ihe most unimportant of al.
the qm stions invo'vrd. We seek it—
not in a vain, partisan spirit—not with
an ignoble thirst for power and pltce,
tut h 8 a meant to a greai end; as a rel
ug • 'roan social debauchery, as a step-,
ping stone to a purer social atmosphere!
and as the last hope sos th maintenance
of the supremacy oj the white race in this
liepuhlic.
Aud u W, shall we ellow a pe'ty pre
judice to secret political o gamzations
to dereat u* in this laudable aim this
pr»i*e worthy undertaking?
The New York Woild says of the
Southern Deui'-cra : “Let them organs
ize their entire physical force iu clubs
Let them organize their sooial powers
for si'lf-proteeiion. Let them maiutam
every right by every local means, aod
redress every wrong they suffer by all
remedy kn wu to ihe law."
It is needless lo attempt to disgusc
the fact that there is stupid, aud I fear
fatal apathy pervading the miuds ot me
conserv'tive masses of this cry. Wi
nced a stimulant We waut some kind
oj organization. Look al the wild, soul

Ihe Kaeii* al Gains.
The R dicals arc inclined to comfort
, tLomselv. s exMavigantly over tbe tin
| result of the c'eetiou in Verm nt on
Tuesday. They make a grande puradt
;of the increased majority there as an
increased evidence of tho increased
strength of their party and and the
I growing popularity of Radicalism. This
iis a bubble easy pricked. Tbe Demo
crats and Conservatives bad nothing t>
hope from Vermont. The Radicals
had there already a two-thirds-nmjiiri
fy. It would have been an idle waste us
material to have set t thither cither
speakers, in trey or dacim :nt«, wrih a
hope of affecting a result favorably to
Djmocracy; oousequcntly no effect wha'
I over in ihat directum Was male.
Even without any effort on tbe part
; of the Democrats arid Conservatives, the
Ridical victory in Vermont is practical
iy an evidence of weakness. “The
Dutch have taK.cn Holland”—that is
all ; but when we come to annalizr tbe
vote, it is found that tbe Democrats
have really gained more than the Rtd
icals. The totals of the Result of the
elections in 1861, 1867, and 1868 are
as follows :
Demo-rate. Radical*.
1867 11 576 31 986
1868 15 552 42.000
1864 13,321 42,419
It will thus be seen that the Demo
crats have, without any effort, polled
otter 2,000 more votes in this eleotion
than in the Presidential elextion of
1864, while the 11 .dicals have fallen
short of their vte of that year. Be
sides, tho proportion of the Rtdical to
the Democratic vote in 1867 was 2 8
10; this yeas it is 2 7 10, showing that
ii tbe increased vote the Dem-ersts
have actually g inod more thao tbe
Radicals.
This is truly a small victory to brag
of. Tne real victory is with the De
mocracy, who, without any cff>rt, havo
trained in gieater proportion than the
Radicals, who put forth every possible
effort to make some sort of a set-off for
the splendid Dern cratie achievement in
Kentucky. The diff rence ia this, that
the D mocratic inc easo in Kentucky
was derived ch i fly from the R'pobli
ern ranks, while in Vtiinont ihe Radi
cals have actually fail.d to held their
own iD tbe proporiienale increase, the
Democrats having made tbe greatest
p’oportinnate gains Washington In
