Troops Sent to Seale.
Several of the squad of Federal soldiers
who have been in camp in Girard, Ala., for
about q week, wore yesterday sont to
Beale. We do not know the precise part
which those troops are instructed to per
form In the management of the cloction.
Every vote helps to swell Tilden’s Na

of Grant more powerful.
Another Gin House nitrued.
Saturday the gin.house belonging to Mr.
IV. J, Turner was burned on his planta
tion, near Hurtville, Ala. Tho lire occur
red at 11 o'clock in the day, and was
caused from a match ginned with some
ootton that had been hauled In that day.
The gin house, gin, and about flvo bales of
cotton were consumed. The loss Is about
eight hundred dollars. It Is a serious
matter these times to lose that much.
Intimidation.
Many of our readers no doubt saw a
city hackman yesterday driving with a
Tilden and Hendricks flag on ills horse’s
head. John Tarver, one of the most tur
bulent Badieal negroes in the city, stood
it as long as he could, and rushed to the
hack, and snatched the flog off. A couple
or more gentlemen witnessed, and re
stored it to the owner. The expressman's
name is Jim Saunders, wo hope our
friends will patronlzo him.
This was a clear case of Intimidation,
and had a white man pulled down a
Hayes Hag, we would never heard the last
of it.

TURN OUT W-DAY AND.VOTE.
Lost night was the occasion of the
Grand Torchlight Procession given by
tho Young Men’s Tilden and Hendricks
Club of Columbus. Tho programme had
boon mapped out for the procosslon to
form on the postoffico corner at 7 o'clock,
but long bofore that time, crowds of men
and boys had gathered, bent upon assist
ing in the demonstration. In front of the
Times office huge bonflrcs.had been kin
dled, and the crowd oollectod there.
There was some delay in moving, owing
to the late arrival of the train, boaring
Col. Barnes, one of the speakers.
THE PROCESSION.
The procession was formed on Ogle
thorpe street, the right resting on Ilros
slll’s old corner. It was quite a task to
got everything in readiness, but Col
Thompson, marshal of the occasion,
with his aids, Col. Barden, Messrs.
Chas. Abercromblo, Honry Woolfolk,
James Radcliff, R. M. Howard, Horace
Spear, Robert Chilton and others soon
succeeded in forming tho lino and the
march began.
IN LINE.
Tbo march sounded and the column
moved oIT, moving up Oglethorpe street
to Bryan, and Into Bryan to Broad and
thenco down Broad street to tho speakers’
stand at the Intersection of Broad and St.
Clair street. On either side of the cara
van rode tho mounted men, composed of
nearly every man in the surrounding
country who could procure a horse, num
bering over one hundred. Whon tho pro
cession reached the speakers’ stand they
were halted, and in a few moments the
SPEAKING
began.
Chas. Coleman Esq., in an eloquent In
troduction, introduced to tho audience, Col.
COL. W. H. BARNES,
of Opelika.
Col. Barnes.ls an eloquent and ltnpres
sivo speaker, and on this occasion more
than mot tho, expectation of the public.
His speech was rich, rare and racy, ex
posing the crimes of the party In power,
giving tho best of reasons why Southern
men should not vote with tho Radical par
ty, and In a happy style showing up that
an Independent horse should not, and can
not win. Hie remarks to the colored peo
ple wore well timed and wholesome, and
if they would only consult their Interests
would to-day cost their ballot with their
friends. He illustrated his speech with
several well told anecdotes thatcaptlvated
his vast audience. Col. Barnes sat down
amidst general applause; and although
everybody was stundlng, they wore sorry
when he quit.
JUDGE POU
was the next speaker. In a masterly
manner he handled the Radical party, and
showed their corruption, and why a
change of power was necessary. He coun
seled and urged upon tho party to have
as their motto to-day tho motto of Geor
gia: “Wisdom, Justice, Moderation." He
spoke kindly of Mr. Hilliard as a gontio
raan, but let him have It in stylo for his
Independent proclivities.
OOL. THORNTON
was tho last speaker,and made one of those
speeches for whioh hois so famous.®.The
crowd dubbed him theV’War Horse of
Muscogee,” so well did ho fit their views.
His speech was short and to tho point,
urging tiie Democrats to ronewed activi
ty, and giving the negro wholesome ad
vice. 001. Thornton’s speechjwas one of
tho best wo have over hoard him make,
and that fills the bill.
WHO WERE THERE,
It is easier to tell who was not in line
than who was, for it seemed that every
body in the surrounding country had
como Into town to help us make tho occa
sion a grand success. Our merchants lent
their effort in tho shape of, transparen
cies, wagons covered with designs, and
many on foot.
NOTABLY PRESENT,
we must first notice the turn-out from
Holstead Jk Co.’s agricultural warehouse.
It was tho best gotten up of the occasion.
In tho centre of one of their wagons was
a largo coffin, having inscribed on each
side "ltadicalism.” In the rear was a bell
tolling the death-kneil of Badicalism, and
above was a banner bearing on one side,
“ltadicalism is Dead,” and on tho other,
“Funeral To-morrow Night, Preached by
Wm.P.Floming.” In another wagon they
had various machinery, and an Immense
transparency bearing appropriate mot
toes.
Gordon & Cargill, proprietors of the
New York Store, hail a most unique trans
parency. It exactly fitted a two-horse
dray, and the Interior was well lit up. On
either sldo they had appropriate mottoes
for Tilden, Hendricks and Reform, and an
advertisement of their dry goods house.
It was much admired.
The Eagle 4 Pheuix Factory with their
eight muloteam, and “A Solid Factory for
Tildon and Hendricks” was well gotten
up, and created much onthuslam. In the
wagon was a dozen or moro gentlomen
connected with tho factory.
J. J. Whittle with their "Hog and Homi
ny” sign formed and important feature
In tho procession.
J. C. Andrews 4 Cos. contributed a wagon
to tho processiou, and soveral transpar
encies, Ono said ‘‘Buy Your Groceries
from J. C. Andrews 4 Cos," and the other
“Vote for Tildon, Hendricks and Harris.”
Tho Italian band occupied a wagon in
which was a,transparenoy saying ‘‘Com
pliments of G. M. Yarbrough, Louis Wells
and John T. McLeod to Democracy.”
An express wagon was loaded with
numerous lights and mottoes representing
Louis Wells' Democratic barber shop.
Pollard 4 Harris were in lino with their
contribution to the cause, a transparency
with mottoes, drawn by two horses.
Mr. J. Albert Kirven, the young dry
goods merchant, had a beautiful design.
On a dray ho had placed a crescent shaped
transparency fringed with a sample of dry
goods, and mottoes in favor of the Demo
cratic ticket, His was a very pretty dis
play, and added much to the occasion.
Mr. A. A. Boyd’s Tennessee grocery was
out in flying colors.
Bedell <fc Ware’s shoe store was well rep
resented in an appropriate transparency.
The Singer Machine Company was out
in force. One of their mottoes said that
company contributed 10,000 votes for Til
den and Hendricks, and gave utterance to
a truolsm in saying it “always leads.”
Watt & Walker had one of the most con
spicuous transparencies of the occasion.
In front of the speakers' stand, suspended
| from a telegraph pole, showing the offor
j lag of this solid house. It was road and
observedJby all present.
Clements, of tho Ruby Bar had an Invit
ing motto. After Inviting everybody to
vote early and often for Tilden and Hen
dricks, they extended an Invitation to
"take good red liquor," and It was good.
The Little Bonanza was out In Its glory.
Garrett A Marcrum, tho proprietors, got
up a stylish turnout and ono that was no
tloable.
The only watch maker represented by
transparencies, was l'hilllp Harris. He
can bo found to-day voting for Tilden and
Hendricks, and afterwards at the Little
Bonanza—watch him.
Buck Barnard had his grocery storo
represented. His wagon was loaded for
Tilden and Hendricks.
filado’s school was out In forco. The
boys had any quantity of good mottoes,
among them “Blade’s school Is for Tilden
and Hendricks, and a solid South." The
boys woro all right, and aro under the
best of tutorship, If you want first-class
Democrats raised.
There woro others in lino bearing trans
parencies, but In tho confusion It la impos
sible for us to recollect all. The above
list, howevor, embraces tho promlnont
firms represented.
ILLUMINATIONS.
A number of our business houses wero
beautifully and handsomely illuminated.
As soon as we turned Into Broad street,
our eyes took In the palatial residence of
Mr. Joseph Hanserd, beautifully and tas
tily Illumined from cellar to turrott.
Among them wo notlcod Korn <fe Loeb,
Tobo Newman, T. W. Markham, The Yel

non’s two drug stores. Dr. Jordan’s drug
storo, and thejttrst to light up wore McAd
ams’ Virginia Grocery and Jones’ Tailor
shop.
the press.
Tho Eiujuirer made a fine display. They
wheeled Into lino with a largo number of
transparencies, borno by the printers,
attaches of their office, and many boys,
headed by tho proprietors of that paper.
Each transparency boro appropriate mot
toes] for Tilden, Hendricks and Harris.
Their contribution to tho lino was hand
some and Imposing. Every ono of their
body bore a light, and all were uniformed
lojnrgo straw hats.
THE AMATEUR,
our sprightly young paper, was not to be
outdone. They, too, bad their transpa
rencies, and formed an important feature
In the display. Headed by their young
Editor, the transparencies bore, amongst
other devicos, this ono: "Down with tho
Bayonets, and up with tho Ballot!” which
found u hearty response. „
THE DAILY TIMES
was appropriately represented. In a
phffiton drawn by a pair of Bill Munday’s
best horses, was comfortably stored tho
editors and proprietors, and Capt. Eu
gene Gtanberry, of the Hamilton Journal.
In front of tho plneton John H. Martin,
jr., eon of the editor, rode with the Times’
flag unfurled to the breeze. Following
tho carriage was a wagon containing a
press, type case and printers’ devil. On
the route the press was printing hand
bills, which were distributed to the crowd,
urging them to go to tho polls and vote
for Tilden and Hendricks and then sub
scribe for our paper. Both tho phffiton
and wagon wore well lighted with lanterns
and transparancies.
THE CROWD
was very largo. Hundreds of boys and
men on foot with lightwood torches, and
lanterns, thronged the streets. The faces
of beautiful women shone from every bal
cony, and the whole scono created ono
vast sea of enthusiasm. The ladies waved
their handkerchiefs, and the boys replied
with loud cheers.
NO DISORDER.
It speaks well for Columbus that there
was no disorder. Not a single case occur
red to mar. the glory of tho evening-
Everybody seomed to bo on their good be
havior.
FIRE WORKS.
Tho display of lire works was very line.
At every corner the procession was greet
ed with a shower of lire works, while the
cannon kept up a roar of thunder all along
tho lino.
TO-DAY
we must keep up the victory we won last
night. Let every man do his duty, and
to-day the success of Democracy will bo
as complete as was our torchlight proces
sion last night.
Capital Notes.
The Constitution publishes the names of
fifty men In Atlanta who will be Deputy
Marshal there to-day, and help perpetuate
Radicalism.
Pool selling on the local and national
politics has been all tho go In Atlanta for
the past week.
Railroads, machine shops, stores and
everything will bo closed in Atlanta to
day to help put out of sight Radicalism.
Thero are only twenty-three soldiors at
the barracks, they being all that are left
out of two regiments. The others have
gone to South Carolina.
United States Marshal Smythe has no
tified tho police of Atlanta not to come
about the polls to-day, as ho will run the
machine. Wo suppose they will (not) do
it.
Gen. Colquitt has returned from a trip
to the Centennial. Ho was frequently in
terviewed while North, and made a line
impression. They called him tho “Farm
er Governor.” Ho had an Interview with
Tilden, and thinks Tilden will certainly
beelected.
It is estimated by the Atlanta Times
that over two hundred Atlanta men make
their dinners at tree lunch tables. They
will soon be pitted against Sidney Herbert
for tho championship.
Atlanta has more [school children than
any Southern city of equal number of
inhabitants— Times.
Scarlet fever has] made its appearance
in Atlanta. Three of Mr. B. W. Wrenn’s
children are sick with it.
The Atlanta Library is to have a
twenty-five thousand dollar endowment—
when they get it.
An".excursion from Atlanta to Presi
dent Tilden's inauguration is In contem

MARION COUNTY NEW*.
Quiet Retreat, Oet. 81,18J0,
Dear Times: I am afraid to My much
about the orthography cf my last com
munication ; because tf I should make peo
ple think Mr. Webster could not spell
much, und you should draw the original
on me, and show I said "prey" when I In
tended "pray for many things," and that
I thought of "betting” men tor “biting an
imals," and such like mistakes, I should
feel badly. So I will try to sroll more cor
rectly, or write more’ plainly, that I may
cultivate a stronger friendship for tho
“comps."
I see the Arffua has made one of Us ac- (
custoraod wild guesses about “Quiet Re
treat," but
On Sabbath last, many friends of Rev.
W. W. Stewart wero greatly pleased to re
ceive “tho bread of eternal life” at his
hands In Buena Vista onoe more. Ho Is
popular and greatly beloved all over this
county, and will attract fine congrega
tions. It was the funeral occasion of Mr.
Hampton Stovens, who was one of our
oldest and best citizens.
There was a call made by Judge W. B.
Butt, chairman of the Democratic Com
mittee, for a meeting of the District com
mittees in Buena Vista, on tho 28th Inst,
for consultation relative to some matters
of interest. I have been informed by a
neighbor there was no meeting. Why
thero was no meeting I do not know, but
think carelessness or ignor unco of the ap
pointment was the cause. Some thought
it would be on to-morrow.
While on this point, I will mention
some whisperings about two reasons,
which I have heard assigned, as causes of
the failure, not that thoy are true, but to
show how strangely some people inter
pret events, -and to notice some of the
effects of “little things."
Ono is, that several members of the dis
trict committees aro in sympathy with
that portion of the party, who opposed
the nomination of Mr. Hollis for the Leg
islature, ami asJudgeßutt acted, as chair
man of that convention,they would not re
gard his call, nor affiliate with that por
tion of the party in meeting.
Another is, that thore is a confirmed
opposition among country people to those
of the “towns,” which was so intensified
In this county, by tho recent discenslons
among tho aspirants, and their friends, as
to result in a determination,upon the part
of the country people, not to regard any
action of tho "town people” except with
mistrust, and to refuse affiliation with
them In poliito&l preference, so far as
county officers are concerned. Both of
those assumptions, while thoy are not
authoritative, require notice.
That thero have been some local dissen
sions and personal differences in the Dem
ocratic family of the county is true; but,
like all family quarrels or discordant
wishes, I supposed thoy would end with
the subsidence of passion, and whon
"sulky poutings" should cease. That the
good sense and sound judgment of our
people have been lost in tbo whirlpool of
political prejudice, I am unwilling to ad
mit. Some may yet feel the bitterness of
defeated preferences, but I have beon edu
cated to believe passion and prejudice,
engendered by political strife, should, and
generally do, cease with the removal of
the cause. In tiiis case, the election of Mr.
Hpllis declared the will of the majority,
and tho manly sentiments of acquiesence
to the choice of the majority, with a de
termined resistance with allied interest,
and redoubled energies to all discordant
elements, and to a common enemy.
It is difficult, however, to determine to
what extremes a people excited by local
preferences, and harboring an “old preju
dice” against “town and lawyers." but
strongly in behalf of “farmers,” will bo
led. “A follow feeling makes us won
drous kind.”
Opposition of country people to those
of "tho towns” is growing stronger in
many sections. In your county it is ex
hibited, and has become a troublosomo
question with city people, not that tho
countrymen catrchango the political rela
tion of tho two parties, but because,
neither tho patriotism and inteligeneo of
your lawyers and citizens, made impres
sive by candid, earnest assurance of the
town peoplo, that the rights and Interest
of the country people shall be respected
by them, will not be received in the spirit
in which it is given. After assuring all
you can, it is just like you had not done
so. They will not be satisfied.
The Intelligent lawyers, and gentlemen,
disregarding such unjust mistrust, con
tinues admonition and forbearance, min
gled with sorrow, that while the towns
graciously bow in attempted conciliation
of misguided judgment, and misdirected
hopes, among countrymon, it avails but
little good.
In this country, too, that sentiment is
growing more popular among country
peoplo ;every year. Here lawyers, doc
tors, preachers and townsmen are equally
objeotionaTsle and openly proscribed by
some persons. Indeed class legislation
and proscription appear to be the natural
consequence of a prolonged dominance of
any political party, and the folly and
danger of such injust jealousies and pro
scriptions can never bo shown to those
entertaining them, but In their zeal they
become blind devotees to envy, and live in
the fiercest elements of political bitter
ness.
Tho evils of such insulting prejudices
are truly calamitous, not only to those
against whom they exist, and for whom
they are becoming more intensified, but
to those, also, who entertain thorn, and
sooner or later will culminate in moral
degeneracy,and decline of gentlemanly re
citude. They prepare the minds of per
sons for accepting false conclusions, and
raising unjust issues. They foster sel
fishness and hate, and will, if continued,
steal away the genial warmth of vital
hospitality, and leave the unspecting vic
tims the objects of fearful perplexities.
They embitter neighbors and communi
ties against each other. They paraiize
social intercourse; they subvert educa
tional prosperity, and the finances of the
sections, cursed with such political
blight, by forcing money in a narrower
channel, in which only few persons are
benefited.

Fire In Girard Sunday Evening.
About dusk Sunday afternoon tiro was
discovered in the cellar of the store occu
pied by Mr. D. G. Wesley as a grocery.
Iu the cellar was stored three thousand
bandies of fodder, and in it tho fire origi
nated. For some time it was thought the
entire block would burn, but the timely
aid of the Columbus Hook and Ladder
Company arrested the flames, with the use
of three extinguishers. After awhile the
hose was laid from the Iron Works across
the bridge, and soon put a stream on the
Are. Until this was dono the citizens and
others ol Girard were trying to put it out
with buckets of water.
Mr. Wesley was fully Insured. His loss
consisted more in damaged goods than in
thoso burned. Everything in his store
was torn up, and presented a mass of con
fusion. ’
Mr. Martin occupied the next store. He
had no insurance upon his stock, and it
was considerably damaged and pillaged.
His store fixtures were all torn up. His
store house, as well as Mr. Wesley's, wos
insured.
The total loss ou goods and houses will
foot up $2,000.
Our Girard friends have no liro engines
or cisterns.
Death at Mr. Henry Radius.
Among tho many victims of the pre
vailing opldemic at Savannah, nono is
more regrettedjfbyj.his friends and ac
quaintances, than the subject of this no
tice. His gentle manners and manly bear
ing had won for him, in the city of his
adoption, the highest respect, the most
kindly fellowships, tho most touching so
ciai.relations; alas, now so suddenly and
so ruthlessly torn asunder, in the prime
and vigor of an early manhood, while the
tonder cords ol lately assumed domestic
ties were taking deep root, strengthened
each returning day with the happy prom
ise of a long and useful life.
The church weeps for her lost son iu de
votion and in happy song. The crushed
wife and littlo ones, are no longer cheored
by the returning footsteps of tiie fond fa
ther to gladden their fireside; while she
who bore him, and received his first smile
of grateful recognition, mourns as mo
thers only can; that the best of sons and
of brothers, is lost to them forever.
The shadows of life fall across our path
way and darken it. Hope is susponded,
despair folds its sombre wings upon the
heaving bosom; but the God of all eonsol
odation, with his blesssd angel, Time,
pours into the stricken heart, the healing
balm of resignation to ids divine and
righteous will, when the tender words of
human sympathy.fail in their mission of
mercy.
“After life’s faithful fevor”he sleeps well
in the historic grounds of Bonaventure
awaiting the reserootion and life in tho
