object was political power. Their de

ple, and to suppress all spirit of De
mocracy In the North. They, too, were
secret organizations.
Taking advantage of the helpless
condition of the South at the close
of the war, when every State lay
bound hand and foot, Prometheus-like,
on the rock of reconstruction, these
leagues sent out their agents as vul
tures to prey upon their prostrate
bodies. IHHHMM

the coal barons, the iron lords, generals
Of the army, editors, college presidents,
k oRopoH-ts of all castes, sharpers,
ickstcrs, demagogues,rascals,thieves
villains, scoundrel*—established secret
organizations In every county of every
State in the South. Here was the rich
North working in secret through her
'political missionaries, forming “Loyal
Leagues” among the negroes! And
for what object? Was it love for the
negro? Time has proven to the con
trary. These organizations fell through
ryten they failed to accomplish the
purposes of Northern Republicanism.
The world will never know the harm
done by these secret organizations, so
contrary to the spirit of Democratic
institutions, but so in keeping with
Republican alms and “methods.” The
South would be much more prosper
ous to-day had It not been for these
leagues.
At the very time when the white
people, realizing the changed condition
of affairs, and solicitous for the wel
fare of both races, were eager to culti
vate friendly relations with the lately
emancipated and enfranchised race,
to establish a mutual confidence and
good will, and to convince the sus
picious freedmen of their honesty and
sincerity of purpose—at this critical
period of the transition state, the ne
groes were gathered, like sheep, into
these secret societies. This was some
thing new to the negroes. Here they
were coddled, and flattered, and petted.
The pomp dnd circumstance of ceremo
ny, with oaths prescribed, were coiled
about them as a mysticism to entrap
them. Here they were taught to dis
trust their former masters, and to be
lieve that the white people were schem
ing to put them back into slavery, and
that their only salvation was to stick
solidly to the Republican party.
Nor did these leagues stop at creat
ing a breach between the races.
Speeches of the most incendiary order
were made. Every effort was put
forth to inflame the mind of the negro
and create in him a spirit Of hate sim
ilar to that which inspired his league
workers of the North.

missionaries, backed by the Freed

military and by traitorous whites, the
greatest disorder and confusion, culmi
nating in a war of races would have
reigned supreme, had it not been for
the coolness and Intelligence and ex
ceeding forbearance of our people, and
for that natural disposition of the ne
gro which disposes him to peace and
quiet. The carpet-baggers taught us
the negro is not by nature a nihilist,
or communist, or agitator, or dy
namiter.
The revolutionary and political aims
and purposes of the “Loyal Leagues”
failed in the South, to the great disap
pointment and chagrin ot the Repute
lican party, because they reckoned
wrongly the negro’s nature and char
acter.
The boast and ambition of the Re
publican party was to keep the “old
aristocracy of the South,” as it de
risively called it, “shorn of Its
strength.” And when we hear Re
publicans like old Conger get up in
Congress and boast of their forbear

of
Republican ascendency foiled to do
its perfect work in the South, simply
because the negroes were of the Afri
can race. With any other race, backed
by the wealth of the North, encour
aged by the party in power, Republi
can objects had been fully realized.
Northern hate and Republican ambi
tion banked upon the negro as if he
had Caucasian instiucts. Their wliole
scheme miscarried because the negro
nature and temperament, were not
equal to their desires.
But to go back. We have digressed
too far. We see it is all right for the
rich Republican party to create and
establish secret organizations when the
objects are oppression and injury
to the South—but the Northern press
is horrified and thrown into dis
may, and wonderfully. concerned for
the “spirit of American institutions,”
when labor organizes, not for
power, but fbr justice and equity; for
protection from financial ruin and mo
nopolistic oppression;' and for the
amelioration of their social condition
and for the betterment and advance
ment of their every day life.
Greene county went “wet.” Greene
county has passed through a severe
ordeal since the war. In 1866, ’67 and
’68 It was the favorite camping ground
of Skowegan Bryant. No carpet-bag
ger ever seqt out by Northern money
was ever more worthy of hire than he,
His was a zeal born of fanaticism and
the love of money. Bryant formed
tiie negroes into “loyal leagues” whose
meetings were secret. All Its members
took oath of allegiance to the Republi
can party. In these secret leagues die
negroes wyere taught all manner of
abominable tilings prejudicial to the
white people. Bryant was to the
negroes a second Moses. Bryant was
successful in powerful help from native
whites. The McWhorter family aided
and abetted him, and Grecue county
has never yet fuliy recovered from the
powerful coalition then formed to de
liver her to the Philistines.
Don’t you feel sorry for a fellow
who Is as mad as blazes and can’t say a

to keep his tongue on ice. This is the
way it Is with the Maryland Demo
crats. They meet in association, their
countenances exhibit a perfect “win

indignation. But mum is the word.
They live so close to the public kitchen
they are afraid to gossip about tliv
cook or his assistants. J ust so in Geor

you say it. The bosses keep s*:rap

Probably one of the most singular
accidents that ever occurred in Lump
kin happened at Judge J. M. Scott’s
residence lost week. His horse and

that while the cow was eating site
reached for something that was in the.
side of the trough belonging to the
horse, passing her tongue through a
crack. The horse saw the cow’s
tongue ami at once proceeded to bite
off about two inches of it, but not rel

it, but dropped it in his side of the

Congressman Allen Candler, of
Gainesville, was very active in behalf
of the Blair bill. In old times we
had opposed the Blair bill as against
the teaching* of i lie constitution. But
since the war proved that we were
wrong and the North right, we see no
use posing before the constitution in
wrapt humility and reverence, while
the rich North passes by not only in
indifference, but pressing on to sit
down at a rich table spread by the na
tional treasury. Let us take all we
can get and ask no questions for con
science sake.

Mr. Maud is well qualified to make an

the State University and has been very
successful in business, and is the
wealthiest man in Mitchell county. A
large number of his friends wanted
him to be nominated two years ago for
the House, 0 but the executive commit
tee of the county strangely ordered no
nominations.
Col. Tom Howard, Senator Col
quitt’s secretary, mourns the death of
his first-born son. Speaking of bis
affliction, Jatncs R. Randall, in his
letter to the Chronicle, says: “It seems
strange that sorrow should coiue to

tiie hardest blows fall upon hearts tliat

however, is often oar best friend and

The projection of trunk Hues of rail
road from Augusta westward and from
Atlan a seaward lias given on impetus
to railroad enterprise in the State
Certainly a bitter campaign making
the Railroad Commission a main feat
ure would clog these enterprises. The
Charleston Xevos and Courier speaking
of the revival of raUroad enterprise iu
Georgia says: “It is proposed to con-
sti net a standard gtiage railroad, first-
class in every respect, from Augusta
in as direct line as may be practicable
to Chattanooga, a distance not exceed
ing 225 miles. It will cross the Rich
mond and Danville railroad at or near
Gainesville; but with this exception It
will not traverse a country already
supplied with railroad facilities until It
sliall have reached a point near Chat
tanooga. Yet the counties through
which the road will pass are among
the richest and most populous hi Geor
gia, and there seems no room for
doubt that the opening of the road
will not only secure a good local traffic
for itself, but attract new and valua
ble trade to Charleston and Augusta.
As a through line it uiateralizes the
dream of Charleston a half century
ago, when tiie South Carolina railroad
was projected, of a through line of
railroad to Cincinnati, by a shorter
and more direct Hue than was then
contemplated. Tiie distance between
Cincinnati and Charleston will be 698
miles, about the same as via Spartan
burg, Asheville and Morristown. Bnt
the distance between Lduisville, St
Louis and Kansas City and Charleston
will be 84 miles less than by any line
that has been or is likely to be built.
The Savannah News takes the same
view of thy Gubernatorial campaign as
was expressed by the News axd Ad
vertiser some days since. The News
deprecates a revival of personalism in
Georgia politics, and does not want a
campaign of abuse, nor an opening of
old wounds. Some of tiie Atlanta
papers intimate that it Gen. Gordon
runs he will make a personal issue,
reaching back to the time of his leav
ing the Senate, and ask a full “vindi
cation” of himself on all that once ad
judicated case. This plan of makinj
the race would certainly precipitate a
bitter campaign ot crfuiiuation and rc-
crimi nati on. The esprit de corps of the
Democratic party has never been the
same since the villaiuous campaign of
1880. That campaign revealed to
wliat extent those to whom the people
look for guidance will go when party
fealty clashes with their personal am
bitions. We heartily endorse the fol
lowing sentiments from the News:
“The people of Georgia have lmd
enough experience in long and bitter
political campaigns to do them for a
generation. Some of tiie heartburn
ings engendered by the personalities
of compara ively recent campaigns iu
this State have not yet healed, but,
fortunately, most of those who were
interested directly or indirectly In
those campaigns have determined to
forgive and forget, and they do uot
want the old wounds reopened, espe
cially as the reopening is unnecessary
and cau serve no good purpose.’

General Lee’s Reputation.
Mr. Chapin, lately of Richmond,
6ays: “Mr. Tom Alfriend told me tint
shortly after the w ar be bore a proposi
tion to General Lee from the Knicker
bocker Insurance Co., of New York,
offering him $20,000 a year if he w*ould
allow the use of his name as Southern
manager. General Lee declined, say
ing that he could uot consent ito take
any money he did not earn. He added
that if his reputation was what they
wrished to buy that did not- be
long to him, but to his people—to the
soldiers who baa earned it on the battle
field of Virginia.
Cotton of the Crop of 1862.
Two bales of cotton raised by slave
labor in 1862 were sold the other day at
Rock Hill, S. C. The owner had been
offered thiity-three and one-third cents
in gold a pound, bat for some unknown
reason would not sell, and when he died
he still had it stored. It was in excel
lent condition, although twenty-four
years old, and was sold for eight and
one-quarter cents & pound, the lowest
price touched by cotton since those,
bales were grown.
It turns out that a very strong
minded woman, Miss Ama CorroU,
forced upon Halleck, Grant and other
Federal commanders the. plan of cat
ting in twain the Confederacy by ad
vances along the great water ways.
Gen. Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky,
makes this claim for her and says that
Lincoln and his cabinet and many
leading men bad acknowledged Miss
Carroll’s plan for saving the Union,
or rather for destroying the Confed
eracy. Alex. Stephens never had any
hope of our success after the fall ot
Vicksburg, and the cold shoulder
given to all his suggestions for an
honorable snrrender after tliat catas
trophe caused much of the coolness
which sprang up between Mr. Steph
ens and Mr. Davis. Ben Hill at that
time commanded the ear of Mr. Davis
and had no sympathy at all with Mr.
Stephens’ plans for cessation of war.
But looking back at it, how foolish it
was to prolong the war after the Con
federacy was cut In twain.
That phrase, “Protection to Amer
ican labor,” is the greatest fraud of
the age. No labor is referred to but
that engaged in the “industries.” The
monopolists, the wealthy class, the
manufacturers call for protection.
And they get it." Congress is under
their control. The poorer classes want
the liberty of buying wherever they
can buy cheapest. This they cannot
do while a high tariff shuts off foreign
goods. But the tariff enriches those
interested in prohibiting the entrance
of foreign goods. Thus onr tariff
makes the rich richer and the poor
poorer. Nor do we beUeve that those
laborers in the industries get higher
wages by reason of protection to their
bosses. Labor is regulated by supply
and demand. The labor troubles all
over the country indicate that these
workingmen are not getting remuner
ative prices. At any rate, their dis
content is exceedingly great.

^ When the Atlanta Constitution used
lx the debategrowing out of Senator the ‘*° nle is rained
Qibson’s amendment to the Logan
army bill to repeal the section of the
revised statutes prohibiting ex-confed-
from appointment to the
States army, old Conger waxed
warm and declared the time had not
come for the “repeal of this little dis^
unction between loyalty and treach
ery.” When a Senator abases the
South as old Conger does, and a Dem
ocratic President retains the advocates
and followers o( sash men in office and
power over the Democracy of the
South, to its detriment and humilia
tion, the very old—well, the spirit of
old Conger temporarily takes
of ns. But we go out on the
streets—whistle a tone—and we are
“reconstructed” again, and become an
advocate of restored harmony.
there was nothing improper in it. It
was only a strong way of putting the
fact that the flood had done the city
unusual damage. The phrase is a nat
ural one, and only Indicated the depth
of sympathy the Constitution felt for
the brave little city. A $230,000 loss
is no small matter, even, to Borne,
plucky and brave though she be!

Gen. Weaver, of Iowa, said a few
daj’s since in his speech before the
House: “There is no policy here in
either party, no purpose, nothing, I
fear, but death and disintegration. Eviis
are rampant, but Congress is deaf and
blind. Tiie remedy must come from a
purpose on the part of t.ie majority of
the House; the remedy must come from
those having power, from the majority,
from this Democratic H6use, taking
hold of these [questions with courage
and then pressing them for considera
tion and .passage. Wc mnst have a
purpose. We must have tests of m2in-
bership. Every organization in the
world that is worth anything has tests
of membership. The Masons have
them; the Odd Fellows have them; the
Knights of Labor have them; the
churches have them. But here the
great political parties of tiie country
have none, and a man may believe any
thing about heaven, hell or a human
government and bean acceptable mem
ber of either organization.”
On Sunday ynoming last tiie revenue
officials pouuced upon a contraband
still in Pickens county, and captured
a preacher, his soil, and two otter
men. The parson explained his pres-
eace by saying that he and hi; son
were passing by and just halted there
for a short while. The officers found
at his home a tub of malt com con
cealed in tiie smoke house. It is safe
to say of this parson what a Mitchell
county lawyer once said of himself
when he was canvassing for legisla
tive honors. While on his ride one
morning be met farmer Mort ami in
troduced the object he had in view.
“Well,” responded the old constit
uent, “we farmers don’t wont a law
yer to represent ns.” The candidate’s
love of* office rose above his honor of
his profession or his respect for his
legal attainments, and be ingeniously
retorted: “Yes, that is true, but, you
know, I am no lawyer to hart.” This
parson was no preacher to hnrt.
There is a disposition among North
ern capitalists to look Southward for
investments. A Southern Land and
Navigation Company was organized
in New York about a week since under
a charter from that State. The com
pany has a capital of $200,000. The
The paternal idea of onr govern
ment will grow in the South. People
go from one extreme to another. The
South fought for the rights of States.
She lbst the battle. That which caused
war and brought poverty to their fath
ers will be hated by the sons. The
South in years will grow up with the
paternal or national view of onr sys
tem of onr government. We see the
Mayor of Montgomery asking Senator
Pugh to secure from the government
$300,000 for the sufferers from the re
cent floods. We find out that the ear
of the paternal government is ever
ready to hear grievances from “inform
ers,” who have their own schemes to
further. It all advances the centraliza
tion theory. But the South is not re
sponsible. If we fight this paternal
sentiment the Northern press cry out
we have not accepted the results of the
war. Yes, the big N has come to stay.
This Congress will be known as
the spendthrift Congress. It is squan
dering money with a prodigal hand.
Those who have hoped for tariff re
ductions will be disappointed. None
will be made. The munument busi
ness, and the pension extravagance
have left no great surplus in the
Treasury. Southern men are power
less to stop the extravagance. A word
of objection by them, and the cry
even from Northern Democrats is:
“We will not listeu to Rebels iu these
matters.” In tiie meantime the
money is drawn for Northern and
Western constituencies under the
name of pensions. These whole pro
ceedings tend towards the doctrine of
a paternal government. And yet
Southern- Congressmen can do
nothing. Brave Senator Morgan has
battled manfully for the preservation
of the spirit of the Constitution, only
to be laughed at.
It is on outrage ou the people at
large hot to piace salt on the free list.
Morrison’s bill favors this. Salt is-to
be brought to tills country as ballast
for freight vessels. It con be bought
and sold at a small profit much cheap
er than it can be made here. Bat the
duty on salt raises the price so that the
American salt business can be protect
ed. A t x is put upon the whole peo
ple that a few may enjoy tiie profits of
And this is called “pro
tecting American labor.”
The Macon Telegraph man, who
does op the inside of Atlanta, does not
always express himseif in language
that indicates a deep respect for peo
ple or affairs. Alluding to Gen. Gor
don’s candidacy he says: “The friends
of General Gordon are conducting his
