Supreme Court.
Ms], Moses, Col. Thornton and John
Peabody, Esq., returned yesterday from
the Supreme Court. The Court disposed
of the Chattahoochee docket before they
left. Most of the docket was passed upon
during the past week.
Greenbacks Better Thun btlvcr.
Mawr people a*e boarding sliver-under
the tmpri&fehm that H is better than
greenbacks, of more value In fact; others
keep Uas a curiosity. For the Informa
tion of people so disposed, -we will say
that brokers In this elty do not buy silver
or take It above par. We give below the
relative value (in decimals) of the silver
dollar as compared with the gold and
greenback dollar: Gold dollar, $1,000; sib
ver dollar, $.881; greenback dollar, $.917.
Now what Is the use of hoarding sliver
when it is really at a discount compared
with greenback dollar? Silver is dis
counted because it is too bulky to bo trans
ported easily, and Its weight causes heavy
freight charges.
A ruin tar the Humwm miles.
The Musoogee Rifles are armed at last,
owing to the exertions of their Captain,
Reese Qrawford, Esq. We learn 60 stand
of arms and accoutrements, with 300
rounds of cartridges, are new at the depot

and we are glad to see they have received
their arms. Uost of the oompany are uni
formed, and we hope soon to see them on
the streets, armed and equipped.

"—■■■'■ •ini I iy- '
/Editor Timm fßy eleven o'clock on
TueaßST, 17th Inst., a large crowd of the
best citizens of Chattahoochee county had
assembled in the Court House to greet the
Hon. Henry R- Harris and Col. W. O.
Tuggle.
Tho mooting was not organized as;usual
In such eases; but, as soon as the crowd
bad beoome quiet, Mr. D. H. Yancey, the
Chattahoochee member of the Fourth
district Executive Committee, immedi
ately Introduced Col. Harris as the Demo
cratic nominee for the Fourth Congres
sional District, the true Christian gentle
man, who bore upon his brow the impress
of Democracy, and who had Its principles
firmly planted in his heart.
The spencer, on approaching the desk,
was geeelbd with rounds of applause.
Perceiving that before them was no ordi
nary man, one who cams net to appeal to
passion or mislead by sophistry, his hear
ers beoamo respectfully client. During
half an honf the bark was pooled front tho
Radical party, Its general misdoings,
stealings and corruptions, Immense taxa
tion and collection of money, with no at
tendant decrease of the public debt, was
told with terrible offset, and as the day
streaks of the coming morn and the rem
edies suggested poured in upon them, raps
side shakes, and old-time yells filled the
house.
The speaker said he addressed an audi
ence unlflod in polltiosl sentiment; .he
spoke to thorn, not as Whlgs, uor as Dem
ocrats. Those partios, as formerly con
stituted, had served their day; their is
sues were not eho Issues of to-day. He re
vered tho memory of Webster and of Clay,
and hiul the counsels of such statesmen
prevailed, there might not hare been a
desolating war. He addressed them as
fallow-citizens of one common country,
with one grand and glorious purpose In
view, to rid tho country of the,despotism
that throttles It.
We were In a depressed condition, no
confidence between man and .man. The
Federal Government at present had no
regard for individual or community
rights. The Radical party, instead of re
cognizing tho rights and equality of 'the
Southern States,when they accepted terms
of peace on the battle Held, hod forced
upon thorn governments, not of the peo
ple, but of military satraps and carpet,
baggers, a miserable system of misrule,
which bad impoverished thecouirtry. He
reviewprfat length the taxes of the coun
try. In former-days taXos had been one
dollar to every man, woman and child.
In 1861 it amounted to two dollars. The
Radical party had raised It from those
figures to $22.50 per capita, a ratte
of taxation unprecedented in the hietony
of the world and unknown ftf civilization.
The tax had Vibrated in tariff days be
tween fourteon and twenty-two,per cent.;
whereas, now tho limitations are fifty-four
and eighty-one per cent. Everything of
primo necessity was taxed to its utmost
strain, from a box of matches up. Georgia
alone had paid twenty-six millions in rev
enue. since (the reporter understood the
speaker to say) tbs war, and the former
stave hiding States had paid one hundred
and fifty millions. There had been col
lected since that time In the United States
$1,650,000,000, This immense revenue was
not at all necessitated by the war. We
had paid enough to have paid the public
debt frwl*oover, and wo still owe $2,200,-
000,008. It was never intended by the
holders of our bonds that this debt should
bo paid. They don'twant to be paid. They
receive six per conk per annum in gold In
terest, while England only paysthroe per
cent, on her debt. What better investment
could they desire? No; they Intend it
shall hang as an incubus on your and
your childrens nocks for all time to come.
Col. Harris said these were not loose
statements, but could bo substantiated by
the record.
Ho went on to speak of the civil service
of the Government; stated Lincoln had
0n1y‘46,000 employees to run the Govern
ment—and that when the war was at its
highest; while Grant, In a time of peace,
has an army of 102.376 men, scattered over
tho country. He had the name of every
one of them, from, the humblest block
man to the highest official. They were
retained in office for party purposes, and
were paid frem S9OO to $20,000 por annum.
Custom-houses were established at places
where there was norevenue to nolicet. At
Bangor, Me., $10,725 was paid to collect
$751; and the Custom officess at icy West
received $18,480 for coksetißgs4,4s. These
figure# extracts, from tho- General
Land Office. A Radical Congress had
granted to one railroad 148,000,000 acres of
the people's land, which-axseeds by 6,000,-
000 acres tho- area povered by France.
They had.gsoted to other Corporations
300,000,000 acres, exceeding in extent the
whole of France, Italy and the United
Kingdom. If he had the English language
at command, be confessed in sorrow,
shame and mortification, he could not
tell of the amount of corruption in this
cdUntry.
The greatest jury in the country, the
‘Uftftod States ScnXte hod acquitted Belk
nap, ok the plea that he wo* no gull ter
than others high in authority. It was Im
possible to impeach an officer under Radi
cal rule. Grant had accepted th Secreta
ry of War’s resignation to shield him. He
had swindled the Government outof $600,-
000 in the matter of gravestones alone, the
humble tablets that mark the last resting
place of hts brothers In arms.
Out of this $4,000,000,000 that have been
collected $260,000,000 had been expended
by the Navy Department, and yet not a
single war vessel could bo found equal to
the defence of the great port of New York.
And yet Mr. Robeson had an immense
bank account in Wall street. The Post
Office Department was honeycombed with
fraud. Post Master General Jewell made
an effort at reform, and was asked to step
out All the other Departments were In a
similar condition, except the Department
of State.
A strong appeal was made to the people
to take more interest In Governmental af
fairs. It was their Government, and with
out a change they could not expect to
prosper. We made millions of bales 6f
cotton, but were too poor to buy the very
cotton back again in the shape of cloth.
The earnings of agriculture were shown
to be but three per cent, while the earn
ings of capital were ten per cent The
election of Hayes would be but a prolon
gation of Grantism.
At this point the speaker addressed him
self to the oolorod portion of the audience.
The Freedman's Saving Bank swindle was
explained to them, and he appealed to
them to support the Democratic party
land principles, as their only consistent
ooitrse. He said tljpy had gUid tho Radi
oed party, and had Yulnad themselves and
well nigh ruined their employers.
H eulogized Tilt Inn as a statesman
from boyhood, who bad recently delivered
tho people of New York, oppressed with
debt, and bad reduced taxes In taro years
from sixteen to six and a bait millions;
salfi that the North was as much in dis
tress as ourselves, and that theio were
two lallliewiof people in the Italtetfltate*
oubof employment and without the means
ofbuying bread. He believed there was
tlfrtuo enough left in the American people
to vindicate the spirit of the Constitution,
and hoped we would yet triumph over our
enefbtes. " ' ' .
Col. Harris begged the indulgence of the
audience for alluding to himself. He was
aware that ho bod opposition iu the race
for Congress, In the form of an Independ-
ent candidate. Mr.,Milliard claimed that
he was the candidate of a ring; yet Mr,
Hilliard had announced himself a candi
date two weeks before the West Point
Convention mot. This disposed of that
charge. Ho said that Mr. Hilliard had
been anything, and almost everything, In
four yoaze. He had suocesslvely sup
ported jfeafcinridge, Douglas and
Bell In the campaign of 1860. Colonel
Harris said If Hilliard was a Democrat he
ought not to have any quarrel with him
(Harris}; it he Is a Radical, let his Radical
friends'take card of him. He said he would
state, as justice to himself, that It was
proposed to abolish the two-thirds rule,
but he told his friends he preferred to be
beat to having the rule abolished In his
favor. He wound up with tho anecdote of
the man who stole Lb cow and yet was
acquitted. In applying It, we had a part of
that jury in Congress, and a Judge In the
White House who. helped to eat that beef,
and it was Impossible, with such a jury, to
convict. He asked the people to turn out
ou the 7th e< November, and assist by
their votostto make anew jury.
Cel. Harris then took his seat amidst a
burst of. applause.
Cot Tuggle was next Introduced, and
kept the audlenoo convulsed from begin
ning to end. He is certainly the “Bun Set”
Cox of Georgia. For scathing sarcasm
and killing ridicule, oar people had never
seen his equal. He compered Mr. Hilliard
jto a peacock, the bird of gorgeous plum
age, beautiful, variegated colors, and huge
dimensions, with a proud Belgian strut.
How lovolyl But turn around, take a
rear view, and —ugh! what an aspect.
He thought Hilliard needed Bradflcld’s
Female lte,'|latar, and advised .’the boys
to give him.a bottle if he came this way
any more.
Col. TijggEo mixed up statistics with his
humor. bNt we took no notes. His allu
sion to Sapp’s gopher caused tho old gen
tleman with the big waistband to shake so
that so* of the court-house chairs will
liav to berepatrod. Judge Billy ——, who
ssdt by the window, "had to hold his bands
to. his face to conceal his emotion. He
said HLUiard had supported three Nation
al tickets in 1860, and had been for every
body and everything—mainly for Hilliard.
|The speaker announced a funeral to tako
place in tho court-house on tho Uthof No
vember, four days after the election, and
admonished us to be present and pay the
last tribute of respect to the departed pea
cock. He gave us a text for that occasion:
John xil, 39—“ Martha saith unto Him,
Lord, by this time he stlnketh, for ho hath
been dead four daya.’’
To dosertbo tho scene that followed Is
simply impossible. It was long before
the speaker could bo heard again to thank
thorn for their bind attention and bid them
farewell. _ , I).

ago It was our privilege to speak of Ira
P. Pope, shoe dealer of Boston, who de
clined to.sell his old customers in the
South goods, because they were Demo
crats. Messrs. Fairbanks place their op
positionjon different ground. A gentle
man who has been trading with them for
thro© years, and paid him every dollar,
simply wrote this seasdh to know their
prices. Hero is the reply:

Dear Sir: Yours received. Your mer

We publish the above—flrst, that our
merchants may know the man who makes
no exceptions, and rates them all no ac
count; and second, that they may inves
tigate the matter and And out who is so
utterly regardless of truth a to rate all
of our merahanteso low. •
Columbus has had fewer loti urea than
any city of her size In the South, and the
charge made by Falrbank A Cos, or the
commercial reporter la, to %uy the least,
untrue. As far as the flrru above n&med
Is concerned, their say-so is not worth a
row of buttons In the estimation of the
dealers who have good customers in Co
lumbus. We presume the aforesaid Fair
bank is on tho order of In F. Pope, and
is so intense a Radical as to intimidate
(In a way) our people by refusing to sell.
Such a letter does Columhos no harm, and
may prevent Mr. Falrbank making his
"grease” In Georgia.
Papers friendly to tbs cause of justice
will please oopy, and charge to the good
