The Campaign,
In view of the plain fact that wo as a
people seeking to dethrone ignorance,
injustice and misrule and to enthrone
wisdom, justice and moderation ; and
mitotif «tiu , txj rtrmtrnJ"' lire
glorious old Empire Staatc to her for
mer status in the Union of our fathers,
and her people to their days of by gone
prosperity, we appeal to every true eon
of Georgia who holds dear the liberties
of oer ancestors, to strike manfully in
in the cause of restoration and work
with a zeal UDparalltd in the politicrl
past. The issues of the campaign arc
of the greatest magnitude 1 The pres
ent campaign is one, the terminus of
which, will either restore the govern
ment to its purity, give life and
animation to the agricultural, commer
cial and manufacturing pursuits and re
call the last liberties of the people, or
consign them all to a common grave of
ruin and total bankrubruptcy ; spread
ing pestilence and famine over the land
of a once happy and prosperous people.
Shall the latter be our doom in Novem
ber next ? No, not if our effortß can
avert it.
We bid arise ye slumbering sons of
Georgia aud view the perils of thepend
kig crisis, open your eyes to the danger
before you, and enlist your efforts to
burl back the tide of fanaticism that is
sweeping broadcast over the land, sow- !
rag thr seed of wholesale robbery, shame 1
and disgust. Ycur ever; interest is in
volved > the peaceful security aud hap
piness of the much beloved daughters
es Georgia bids you act. Why slum
ber on ? Will you remain silent and
inactive now when tbe Constitution and
Republican institutions of tbe country
are periled and asking deliverance at
the hands ot Conservatism from those
es reckless fanatics. It is in our power
to stampede radicalism and send it load

FUOM ATLANTA.
For the D»w*on ‘‘Journal.” |
Atlanta, Ga , July 31st, 1868.
Messrs. Editors .—The long agony is
over wo have met the enemy in Lis
strong breastworks, stormed their ram
parts, and spiked their largest guns, snd
scattered the Radical forces to tbe four
winds of Heaven. On the ever wem
orable day of the 2tih of July, Joe
Brown and Perjured Blodgett, the
Sampsons of tho Radical party of Geor
gia, were beaten for the Senate of the
United States. As the head which fur
ui-hed the brains of tho Scalawag aud
Carpet-Bag party of Georgia, has been
decapitated, Joo Brown stands above,
amid the putrified carcasses of bis dis
appointed associates in infamy, to mourn
over tbe lact, with dreadful apprehen
sions of the future’ When he fell in
the Legislature of Georgia, light burst
forth from the clcuds which hung so
long above us, and hope, joyous hope,
beamed upon every countcnauce with
whom we came in contact.
The Hon. Joshua Hill and Dr. 11.
V. M. Miller were elected as Senators
from the Empire State of the South—
Os the polit cal status of these gen
tlemen, I can say but little. Mr. Ilili
has always been a Union man. Where
he stands now, 1 am not able to say.—
He made us a short speech, thanking
the people for the honor conferred, but,
I do not think bo said Democrat once,
or alluded to the Democratic Platform.
Indeed, I see in this morning’s issue of
the “Era,” that Bard says “it is finally
settled, that in Mr. Hill, we have an
unflinching friend of Gen. Grant” If
this bo true, then we have accomplished
but little in the election of Mr. Hill,
although, I should, even nnder these
circumstances, prefer him to Joe Brown.
The statements of Bard must always
be taken with due allowance when be
speaks through his paper, a* he says
himself, that, “Bard in tbe “Eia” is one
thing, out of it, he is another.”
What art the political views of Dr.
Miller, lam not ablo to say. In his
speech on the day of bis election, he
said he “had a policy,” wbat that policy
was, bo was careful enough not to make
public. Those who are familiar with
tbe pist history of Dr, Miller, know
him always to have been a policy man,
but bis policies bare never benefited
either himself »r the country. One
thing is certain, that when he j- iced the
Union League, and over his own signa
ture, pledged certain things to his col
tea those principles and proved recreant
to their cause and justly forfeited their
respect. Under these circumstances, it
is but a fair conclusion to say, that the
Democratic party need not expect much
from aDy man who proclaims a lino of
policy, but keeps it to himself forotbers
to conjecture. Consequently, wo ought
not to claim the election of Hill and
Miller as a Democratic tnumpl, but,
as a mere choice of evils, and as the
best that could be done. Democratic
guns had become so dirty and rusty
during this reign of terror, perhaps wc
may use these gentlemen as wads to
wipe out with, and be ready for a more
glorious triumph in November,next.
All honor to ibc Democrats and mod
eratc Republicans, who have thus tri—
utrphed over fraud and bribery. It
will not be denied, that Bullock conde
scended so low as to offer appointments
to ccitain democrat?, if they would sop
port Brown and Blodgett; but, these
! B’s were robb.d of their stiDgs, and
they are mere drones, floating upon the
suifaee of society. Gentlemen, to whom
these bribes were made, spurned such
overtures as contemptible, and only
worthy such men as Bullock, Brown and
Blodgett, who are krown throughout
the country as demagogues, tricksters
and scalawags, and to-day they are from
the sea board to the mountains, the re
cipients of an outraged and indignant
people.
I hesitate not to say, that Seymour
and Blair will carry the State of Geor
gia by over 20,000 votes, and the Em
pire State of tbe South will be redeemed
from Radical rule aDd dictation. In
defeating the immaculate Joseph, the
back bone of the Mmster has been
broken, and like the serpant in tbe gar
den of Eden, that party will have to
lick dust and crawl upon its belly in all
time to come, Ulysses can never Grant
it relief.
Bright faces are seen upon our streets
I as we pass around. The Brownitcs look
I awful and doubtless feel worse, as
mooming over an untimely birth
Others agaiD, who formerly belonged to
their faith, are apostatising acd anxious
ly enquiring for the “good old way,”
and when told “this is the way, walk ye

sinking ship. I could tell you of many
who have already joined the Democratic
Chureb, but, as they have not been re
ceived into full fellowship, and only on
probation, I forbear making public their
names. Let them come—deal gently
with these lambs of the flock. Don’t
say anything about scalawags—many of
them were honest men and were de
ceived by Brown and lilodgott with re
lief and homestead issues, but, as they
have returned, like the prodigal son, let
U3 bury the past and trust them in the
future. ‘'Open coufession is good for |

“In view of the great poverty of our
people r.tid of tbe present effect of set
ting apart Homesteads, tbe Executive
might, with the assistance of the Treas
urcr and Comptroller, be authorized to
exorcise a discretion as to the kind and
character of bond to be giveu by persons
elected to county officts to the end that,
if for the above reasons, tho officer elect
may not be able to secure the character
of boud heretofore required, tbe choice
of the people shall not be denied tho
exercise of the duties of his office.”—
Bulloclc's Message.
Bullock has shown in the first abor-
tive attempt at writing a State paper at
least one excellence heretofore esteemed
very highly by thieves and highway
men —he insists upon taking care ot,
and promoting the interest ol his scal
awag clan, even though it should have
to be done at the risk of having the tax
es wrung from the impoverished people
of tbe State, stolen and squandered by
tbe incompetent and, in many instan
ces, dishonest officials placed in power
by tho negro aud scalawag vote.
In many counties, Sheriffs, Ordina
lies, Tax Receivers and Uollectoes have
been elected who caDnot give bond for
the faithful performance of tbeir respec
tive du’ies in any secure or satisfactory
amount. The Exprets agent is fully
alive to this fact, and bene* his com
mendation is not that official Bonds
should be reduced 10. 20‘ 30, 50 or 80
per cent., but that the whulc matter
shall be left with the discretion of tbe
executive, assisted by tbe Treasurer and
Comptroller. Not only does be pro
pose that he shall bo permieted to fix
the amount of tbe bond, but be asks to
be invested with the right to decide up
on the character of the bond and the
ability of the boni’sman to rospond for
any losses which may be sustained.
This shameless attempt to take con
trol of all the offices in the Slate is jus
tified on tnc ground cf the poverty of
our people and the effect of the large
homestead exemption fixed by tbe ne
gro constitution. Tho people of the
State were urged to vote tor the ratifica
tion of tbo constitution because it se
cure and to the beads of families a large
homestead exemption, and now tbe
Legislature is solicited to give tho Ex
press Agent the power to till coaunif
i-ioosand iastall important public func
tionaries in power without bounds, be
cause by the effect of the homestead
I revisions scalawags are not able to
givo satisfactory security for the faith
ful execution of their trusts.
But i hi* is not all. If the partisans
of the “Agent’’ in tho so called Legis
raeiet careless observer that be will u: o
this discretion in such a way as to per
mit all the ignorant, incompetent and
dishonest of his own party to exercise
the functions of their offices without
b nds—or at least with straw bonds,
whi'e every comp- teut Democratic offi
cial will be required to give exorbi'ant
and extraordinary security. This is
tbe object—the piimo moving cause of
this silly and and dishonest rcommunda
tion.
Lot us see if therejis even plausibility
1b the pretext that the impoverished
condition of the people render tbe bonds
heretofore required by law too heavy
aud oppresj-ite. Ih : most iui] octal.fe of
these State officia s, as far as the mere
question of dollars and cents is oonoern-
ed, are the several tax receivers and
collectors in the difft-ret counties.
VVe admit that it would hardly be
fair to require of these officials the same
amour t ol bond as was required when
tbe tax payers were more wealthy and
the amount of t?xes assessed and collect
ed much larger than is now brought in
to be pub i: treasury. But tbe law as
it now stauds ana as it has existed for
several years, provides expressly for
this fluctuation iu the amount of taxis
to be raised and regulates the Tax Re
ceivers and Collectors’ Bonds, in pro
portion to the amount of taxes to be
collected for eich year.
Section of the Code, provides
that the Tax Receivers and Collectors
“shall give Bond and security in double
“tbe amount of the Taxes duo the Stale
“iu their County, taxing tbe Tax of the
“previous years as a basis, subject to be
“increased or diminished according to
“the rate per cent or taxation end the
“directions of the Comptroller General.”
Now if the impoverishment of our peo
ple has been as great as fifty per ceut of
tbeir previous wealth, it will be seen
that the tax is reduced in the same pro
portion and that the Receiver an I Col
lectors’ Bonds are by law reduced also
one half.
The truth is, as we have just hinted,
Bulltck finds that nearly or quite all of
the scalawags and negroes elected to fill
i dices under the so called State Gov
ernment are so deslitu'e of character
position, virtue and honesty as to be
utterly unable to give bonds for any
amount for '.he honest performance of
their official duties, and heDce he asks
the Legislature to clothe him with the!
extraordinary power of deciding wheth
i er these men who do not have the con
fidence and support of their cwn friends
and acquaintances, shall hold these im
portant offices without the least check
or security lor their good behavior atid
honest discharge of duty. The ‘agent’
knows that the uicn elected to the offices
of Sheriff, County Treasurer, Tax Col
lectors and Tax r ceiver in itichmond
county cannot give bond in one-tenth of
the amouut which is now required by
law for the security of the tax-payer.
For tho purpose of rewarding those
poor wretches, who have sold themselves
to Bullock and bis Radical crew, they
were elected to offices which every hon
est man in the county, black and white,
knew they were incompetent to fill, and
now the so-called Governor confesioi
this much by asking the Legislature to
permit him to have them installed into j
office without bond or security.
Wc caunot believe that the Legisla
ture, Radical though it is said to bo,
will lend themselves to such an
blushing attempt to rob and plunder
the impoverished and overburdened
people of tbo State. If the unprinci
pled aud characterless Radical crew,
who have been in many counties elected
by tho artful coctrivauocs of carpet-bag
gars and scalawags, cannot give suffi
cient bonds to secure the protcctioo of
the public interests, let another election
be held aud honest, competent men se
lected to fill their places.
Is this one of “Agent’s” recommen
dations which the Macon Telegraph
tbiuks “sensible and judicious ?”
[Chronicle & Sentinel 29 t/i.
ItcUiU'lioii of Official Homl*.
Georgia, like the other Southern
Slates, is met in tbe attempt to organ
ize her State Government by a difficulty
almost insuperab'e. Her statute law
wisely demands of parlies, who aro to
ass imy control and management of tbo
lives aud property of citizens, that they
shall give good and sufficient security
for tbe faithful discharge of the duties
of their offices, and for tho honest dis
bursement and safe custody of Bucb
public or private monies as may bo placed
in their bands. Os tbe heterogenous
orew that have been elected to tbe va
rious State, county and municipal offi
ces, it is safe to say that not one can
give tbe bond required by law. In ad
dition to tbe want of qualification for
the diccharge of the duties of tbe posi
tions to which they have been elected
by force and fraud, these people are
mostly paupers as to purse, and of no
credit whatever. They cannot famish
the security which is a pre-rrqusite of
their installment into the fat pieces for
which they have hungered and thirsted
The very few men of means and credit
of their political faith are the very last
ones who will be likely tohaz.rd their
possessions and reputation upon an is
sue which promises nothing but loss,
»Dd Democrats surely will not step for
ward to the relitf of embarrasments
not cf tbeir own making. The carpet
bag Governor, whose administration is
doomed to iguomiuious failure, fully
appreciating the situation, advised iu
his message that official bonds should
bo reduced in amount. Mr. Betbune,
of Talbot county, has embodied the gu
bernatorial suggestion in a bill, and
the Legislature is now called upon to
put a lot of ignorant and irresponsible
vagabonds into positions of honor, trust
profit, and responsibility, upon bonds
which may be considered the equiva
lents of what is known in law as straw
bail. Without this is done, Bullock
and his party, to use a forcible though
intelligent expression, “its done for.”
If just and proper security is demanded,
such security as is called for by law, the
political power and control of tho State
cannot pass into radical bands. The
is an cutburst of generous
ent hiiMURm. after tlpyleLaJ _(_fJlLjUit,’.

Resolved, I hat we, like men having
the interest of our State at heart, do
bury all party feeling and prejudio",
and go forward to perfect the cu.ct
ment of such laws as will establish
peace, harmony, etc., among all the peo
ple of this State
Legislative reports say it was adopted
without a dissenting voice. It the men
who voted for it are honest men, and
carry at heart the interests of Georgia,
if they really desire to pass such laws
as will promote her peace aud prosper
ity, they caunot pass conecientiously
a law that will turn over the prop

widows, minors and orphans to a shoal
of sharks. The *aro plenty ot men in
Georgia capable aDd honest, and quali
fi.d to fill every office in the State, and
who can give all the security and more
too, than that now required by law
Many of these men are now in official 1
positi ns where they have been retaiued
f:r years by reason of their capacity,
intelligence and integrity. They can
hold over until their successors are
elected and qualified. Let the Legisla
ture of Georgia see te it, that they do
so hold until thoir successors are quali
fied, or 6xpunge at once lrom their jour
nals tbeir virtuous resolve. If men
cannot qualify—order au electioo, iu
which “sharp and quiet” shall have no

elect such as can and will do so. By
the just, proper and feasible process
pointed out by us—the utter and com

A Carious Prophety by a Col
ored l*ropliet.
[From the Wilmington (N. C.) Star.]
We have been furnished by the col
ored cock of the shooner Mm. L.
Springs with a large printed document
addressed “To the Open World,” in
which he sets forth that, being a proph
et, he has received a visit from the an
gel of the Lord, and has been admon
ished that ic 1872 the world will be
visited by three plagues—fire, waicr,
and famine. He advises all peoblo
to build them waterproof bouses on high
ground, and place water-proof vaults
in them to contain provn-i ms. Further
;he tells them, duriog 1872, 1873 and
1874, to hoard up grain to live on dur
ing tho dearth Ae says that on the
Ist of January, 1875, these evils will
commence, and expire at the end of three
years.
The author is a colored man, his fatb.
ler supposed to have been an English
man, ond bis mother a New Z aland
woman. He is certainly sincere m his
belief—that is, if we term monomania
sincerity, since he spends the whole
amount of his wages, we aro told, in
1 having his prophecies printed, and in |
traveling around, dealing forth Lis
warnings. He has even written to the
Emperor of France, to request that a
convocation of the crowned beads of Ku- {
rope may be called to consider the sub- ;
jeet, and assures us of the inteution to j
travel to Washington city, as soon as his |
contract expires with tho Springs, to j

Tbe religious sentiment, or feeling of
the while couptry is shocked at the

Ibis great Representative body o(
“the moral and religious piarty” of the
I country, were in session Sunday morn
. ing till 2 o’clock, and re-assembled
: again Sunday evening, being in session
til a late hour. There is no earthly
excuse for all this violation of the Sab

: cages, or fines, a German if he, heie
drmks a glass of beer on Sunday, be
yond his own household, or pron unees
it wicked to hear u band of music, in
gardens playin r airs, which are chant

Tho Rump Congress met in March
last, (usually meeting for the first time
in December,) and re-met in July—
then re-nsseinbied in November, a

promises to re-aseemblo again, unless
Senator Morgan of New York, and
Gen. Schenok, of Ohio, (head centres !
of the Radical organization.) pro- '
nounco to the con rury, in the coming ;

them alone, depends the re gathering
of the Rump in September ! Months
of this time hive been wickedly con
sumed in degrading, nay, destroying,
or niggerizing the Southern States ! :
Impeachmen’, too, consumed weeks
and weeks. After all this time, thus j
consumed, tho Rump, it appeats, had i
to violate the Sabbath in the morning, j
and the Sabbath at night, and thus to .
set bad examples, despite tbe corn - \
mandment, “Remember tbe Sabbath
day, and keep it holy.”

of Belgium, whoso mania is physical
culture and a search for adventure in
male attire, but whose morals are irre
proachable, heard that three young
bloods had been boasting of her favors,
and determined upon a characteristic
revenge. To each she sent a delicate
little note, making a private appoint

apart. They showed the billets with
triumph, and came with liiends {rested
near to witness their success. The first
was gri eted warmly by the young wo
man with a cudgel, beaten soundly,
and sent off. 'J he second the same,
and the third likewise. Each has a

ASIATIC CHOLERA IN CHINA.
Almost Every Case Cured With
PAIN IvILLER.
Read the following letter from Rev. B. Ttl
ford, Missionary to China, now visiting bis
home in Pennsylvania :
Washington, Pa., June 25, 1866.
Messrs. Terry Davie A Son, Providence,X.
I.—Dear Sirs : During a residence of some
ten years as a missionary in Siam and Cbtn*>
I found your Vegetable Pain Killer a inott
valuable remedy Lor that foarfn! scourge tbs
cholera. In administering tbe medicine, J
found it most effectual to give a tcaapoonful
of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweet
ened with sugar; then after about fifteen
minutes, begin to give a (ableapoonful of tb®
name mixture every minute until relief was
obtained. Apply hot applications to the ex
tremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain Kil
ler, clear, and rub tbe limbs briskly. Ol ibos*
who had the cholera aud look the medicine
faithfully In the way stated above, eieht nuU
of ten recovered. Truly yours, R. Telford..
In an attack with Diarrhoea, D yrenterv, •»
Cramp Cholic, don’t delay the use of the Pa:a
Killer. Sold by all medicina dealers. Trie®
25 cents, 50 cents and $1 per bottle.
Swatow, China, Sept. 28, 1*66.
Messrs. Perry Davis A Soli: Dear Sirs—l
ought to have acknowledged long ago the
box of Pain Killer you had tbe goodness to
send us last year. Its coming was most prov
idential. I believe hundreds of lives were
saved, under God, by it. The eholera ap
peared here soon after we received it. We
resorted at once to the “Pair: Killer," nsfng
as directed lor cholera. A list was kept of
all to whom the “7'ain Killer” was given, siW
our native assistants assures us that eight oat
of every ten to whom it was prescribed re
covered. It has, toe, been very useful in val
- other diseases. It has proved an in cab
oulable blessing to multitudes of poor people
throughout all this region. Our native preset*
era are never willing to go out on tbeirys*
cur-ions without » supply of the “Pain Kill*
er.” It gives them lavor in the eyes of to*
people, and access to families aud localities
by whom otherwise they would be indiffer
ently received. Believe me, dear sir, grate
fully aud faithfully youra, etc.
