TJefore nnolher issue of thin paper will uppnitr, iliti buttle for Senator mid Kopie w.lllative will have been fought, and we trimt a glorious victory for Democracy, will have been won. Whilo vre feel sangtiine of success, our hopes are baaed niton the fact that the people iue enthused, ami fully aroused Cos the importance anil neces sity of a bold ami vigorous tight at the polls. Now is the time for every man to dime to the poll who feels an interest in tin* welfare of bis country. While wo lmve it our power to win the race, we may ly slothfuluess, meet with a most, disastrous defeat. Then let. ns all pnll together, old and young, sick and well, aficl tin) many colored lueti whose eyes have been opened to the many frauds that have been prneti jeed upon them by the vile impostors, the ciiemjoH to both races, will como up like worthy, intelligent citizens, and east their votes witli us, and the death knell of Kadi ealixm will he rung mid its funeral dirge, mid the last reqnironm to departed spirits from soooml Congress ion ril and the seventh benatorial Districts, will be sung. Many of the colored voters are anxious lo vote the Democratic ticket because they are convinced that it is right, hut they arc i itimiihiled and afraid to do it on account *f the threats of their own rare, all of which threats originate with the white nun that have been, and are deco ving ilia,..

Notwithstanding wo opposed the mnuip iiloti<>ii of Uio mails at mis office ou Friday tilo 18th uit., an act, wctliiid;, which ought to- call forth the denunciation of the press throughout the State, it nevertholesfi ‘'re mains silent with one exception, and that in the Savannah .\ilrerliser, that has the laildness and flvmuess to refer to our ar ticle. If snob an outrage had been com mitted in California, Uio Morning heirs would have truippefcod it in every column, hut here in Quftumu, in Southern Georgia, such offenses are too insignificant on an count of locality, to provoke ita wrath. If the act is wrong in principle, it should he denounced by the press and not overlooked for the sake of popularity or contemptible policy. Judging from the silence of the press, one would readily conclude that wo were wrong, lmt wo are proud of the faet that the Advertiser thinks wo call things by their right name. We hope the people of Southern Georgia will patronize the paper that don’t regard it too insignificant ou aoeoupt of locality, to strip clime of its .odi'iiP, 4k ' ANOTHER CONSPIRACY.

Then the threats to remove him from tj.o Rost-offioe were made with the most solemn promises from Wade and Griffin, that his name as the affiant should never be disclosed. JJe ing thus threatened and promised, he made the affidavit before Wade against pertain piwflos, and the warrant was issu ed.

WHERE IS WADE, Tins efficient United Htatcs Commission j or, who issues warrants and arraigns Dem j oeruts for heating, tin pans when the i lordly majesty of (Slippery Dick Whiteley i stops in a town. He can hear of the din ' graceful and outrageous conduct among liis negro brethren, which frightened poor Dick nutil he slipped through a window of the Court House in Tliouinsville like greas ed lightning, spilling himself upon the ground escaping from drawn clubs, pistols, ! knives and fists iif the Radicals, and ye.t no warrant ta Issued, no ll.wlic.J Radical bound for his appearance at the Federal court, no Radical committed ill default of hail. Rut. upon a mere rumor an aOidovit was mmlo before M ade by u man who knew nothing about what lie swore, that a Mr, McNaniel was engaged iu heating a tin pan at the time that Whiteley came to Valdosta some w eeks ago, and Commissioner Wade issued his war rant, and n United Htatcs Marshal was sent out from Savannah to execute tin process, which he did, and brought tile prisoner before Wade, who endeavored to prove that it was rumored iu Valdosta that j MoNamel did beat a tin pan and if In •could have proved that, MoNamel would to-day have been tinder bond, but lie couldn’t prove the rumor, and the failure was ho complete that lie had, mortifying as it. Was, to disi'lnus>e him. Now, wo have no hesitancy in saying that there was hut one object in view in the arrest of MeNatuel, and that was as he was a strau- j gerund supposed to be friendless, to in- j duce him while under arrest to agree to give evidence against others. This was a failure, and the mortification to Wade was almost nuindnrahle. Now, wo say to Commissioner Wade that Fred Atkinson ; declared that any negro that voted fora Democrat in Thomas county had better leave, for he was going to fortu a Ku ivtux Klan and K. K. him. Why don’t some of your -Radical brethren make an affidavit and have this intimidutor arrested ? We again ask why don't you do it ? Are you only sworn to arrest. Democrats who vio late the law aud shield Radicals V This is just the osc you have made and are mak ing of your office, and we dislike to think or say, that yon would violate your oath of office, lienee we are inevitably driven to the eoneUision that you were sworn to pro tect, Radicals nud punish Democrats If that was the oath you took and subscribed, you have proved to lie tho most, faithful officer everluiown to the subscriber. Kellogg's Defense. Wahiunotos, D. C., October 1. -The address of Kellogg to the people of the United States is published.

Tho floating debt of the previ ous administration has been reduced from 5*2,800,000 to 51,400,000 since .January Ist. 1871. The current receipts have been within if<>7,ooo of current expenditures. We have largely reduced the feitate ex penditures amt confined them strictly with in the limits of our revenues, and we have repealed over eight million dollars of the contingent liabilities. All this has been effected by us without aid from those who arrogantly claim to represent all virtue and intelligence of the State, and while con tending against violence within the State j booh f i and organized villitteation abroad, aud while the very existence of tho govern i meet was threatened.

And when the war ended, Joshua still mourning, wandered tin nigh oil the country seeking, but found me, for there was not a spotted lit).so in all the wire grass country. Ho Joshua beeatno desperate, and in his wrath he swore by hinisef( for there was none higher iu all the wire grass country; that lie would avenge the wrong and injur' done by” mak ing spotted Legislature, for, said lie the Ethiopian you no more change his skin than m void horse can change his spots, and the white men and the black men will make a spotted group, and thereby my first love w ill lie commemorated, and among the ne groes .1 will make one white spot until another spotted creature shall lm raised up to bless my old age. And now the time is at. hand, and it w ill soon comedo pass that the black spots will all disappear from the legislature; and Jnsluia had a vision, and low there appeared unto him another spotted (torso, like unto the first in all things; and a voice spake unto Joshua saying: arise while it is yet night, and l’olly and the chil dren stHI sleepeth. and go v far away unto the (>eh. ft pnnkce swamp and thou shall see near the border thereof, feeding upon the who wff,-glass, the spotted beast for which tliv soul languishes, anil him thou shall have, and thou shalt love him and groom him so long as thou shalt live.

On some of the East India Islands, where so many queer things grow,is found a Mower that measures a full yard across..—- Vet it, has only a cup-like centre, and five broad, thick, fleshy petals. Seen from a distance, through the dark green leaves of the vines among which it grows, the rich wine-tint of the flower, flecked w ith spots of a lighter shade, is said to impart a warmth and brilliancy of color to the whole surrounding scene. Rut the nearer the observer comes -all eagerness to see more closely so wonderful a flower—the less does he like it. Not that the color is less beautiful: but who cares beauty iu human beings, w hen it possesor is malicious, dis dainful or untruthful? and who cares for beauty in a flow er, when its odor is disa greeable ? So, notwithstanding its proudly brilliiant color, and its great size, the r<tffiesia-arnol diti wißnever be admired, for we are told that, its “odor's intolerable,.pointing the atmosphere formally feetajound.” Anoth er had trait of its “odor is intolerable, polluting the atmosphere (or many feci around.” Another had trait of ilstlower- eharaeter is. that it is too lazy to support] itself, but lives upon tlie labors of others j lu the forests where it is found, there are I many vines, sometimes climbing the ] trunks of trees and sometimes trajliugl along the ground. Fastening itsejf to a vine in tue latter positj.oa, the unprinci- j pled raffles), l grows without other trouble - to itself than to drijw for its own use the ; nutriment which the industrious vine-roots i are all the w hile collecting from the earth. The vide must he very .amiable yon think ? ' Ah ! but the poor vine cannot help itself. It connot shake off the big. selfish flower, and can only work harder than ever to ,eol ' leet supplies sufficient to nourish the odious lianger-on, and have enough iu | addition for its ow n branches and leaves. — St. Sichu/m for Mag.

A watch word—Tick. The Mauerites of Germany. Rally in the summer a most violent phase of religions fanaticism appeared in the German colony at Bio Grand de Sul, in llray.il. It appears tliut a certain quack named Maiier and his wife, finding med etl imposition nnremunerstive, turned tli -ir attention to the establishment of a new religion cuinbiuiug the tenets of the Thugs of India and Woodhullitea of the United States. They laid down ns the first general principle eornwnnity of women and property, and as the second, tlie dost ruction of all other aorta in the world. Incidentally this doctrine pro hibited work further than was necessary for the maintenance of tlie community generally. It is s pretty well established principle that the more extravagant a religious creed tlie greater the with w hich it is seised, and the tenacity with which it is maintained. The Muckers in this instance accepted the •reed annonneed by the ignorant pair vithent question, ami early in June com neneed slaying unbelievers. In less than i month they had (‘fdahUsht and themselves very -cnrely, and strengthened their position by murdering all who came in heir way. At the liegiuuing of August they successfully m isted it regiment of Brazilian t-oops, repulsed them, and en ! Urged their aren of operations. Latest alvices represent them as seenrely ere r ranched. while the surrounding settle ments are preparing for the extermination of these rampant religionists.

These pifl i pie at tlie South took their cue from these ! elections, and, believing in the success of the Democrats at the next Presidential election, felt that in anticipating that event they could begin again to rule as they lmd during the reign of Buchanan. If these elections had so much effect, what , would be the result if he (Butler) was de- : i feated for a re-election to Congress?—j They would exult. The battle of the w hite race against the black man would be re- : I newed with increased violence, and woe betide tlie poor fellows who had been our j friends, and whose only crime was their I color.” This new theory of the Southern disease suggests anew enre for it, If the disor ders down South have their origin in Con- \ : necticut and Now Hampshire they are the States that ought to be made to suffer.— | The President should send troops to New England, set aside the governments of ' New Hampshire anil Connecticut, and see that Butler is not heuten in the sixth dis ; triet of Massachusetts.
