Puller returns from the Ninth
Congressional District of Georgia
shOfrlbat Mr. Bell, the Democratio
nominee, Is almost certainly elected,
and his plurality over Speer will
be a near a thousand votes. Archer,
the Radical candidate, received Hoo
or 1800 votes in the district.
A Democratic meeting has been
called in Stewart county to take pre
liminary steps towards the nomina
tion of candidates for the Convention.
We take this occasion again to re
monstrate against making a party
question of this matter. Thu meet
ing called is that of the Senatorial
District Executive Committee, to as
semble at.Lumpkin on the 30th Inst.
The Washington Capital charges
that Senators Spencer and Dawes at
tempted to levy black-mail upon
Ohorpenlng, and, failing, defeated
hts claim. It says: “We state this
advisedly, having at our back the
ablest legal advice iu the United
States, and what is more, a record
that can not be denied, explained or
impeached.” The Capital courts In
vestigation of Its charge.
The Montgomery Advertiser says:
“If every man in Alabama who wants
an office, was to become a candidate,
the entire control of affairs, State,
county and municipal, would be In
the hands of the Radicals. Conven
tions when called should be attended
by all members of the party, and
when the unmistakable choice has
been agreed upon he should receive
a hearty support and united sup
port.”
Referring to the facetious remark
that Mr. Tllden had seized an old
shfgflitin# and asked who ware the
Democrats who voted for the admis
sion of Colorado as a State, the Mo
bile Register say* that if Colorado
bad gone for Tllden tho result would
not hate been changed. The Re
publicans bad determined to count
North Carolina for Hayes If they had
needed ten votes more. Gen. Kilpat
rick was already at Baleigh, ready to
consummate the fraud when it was
discovered that Florida, South Car
olina, and Louisiana could do the
job.
The Register has got that just
right. When Kilpatrick was sent to
North Caroliua, to arrange a return
ing board proceeding with the Radi
cal Governor of that State, it was
feared that Wisconsin had voted for
Tilden, and North Carolina was to
huve been grabbed to make no for
it. 1

The constitutional amendment abol
ishing religious tests was defeated at
the late election, aud Roraau Catho
lic* will oontisue to be ineligible to
office, unless they can evade a bad
law as cleverly as the eminent North
Carolina jurist,'William Gaston, did.
The constitution ot the Old North
State declared Ineligible to office all
persons Who “denied the truth of the
Protestant religion;” yet Judge Gas
ton, a CathoHe, adorned and gave
renown to the Supreme Court beach
of the State. When asked how he
could reconcile liis position with
the oath which bo had to take
to support the constitution,
he replied that he neither af
firmed nor denied the truth of the
Protestant religion, that he was con
tent to maintain his own
convictions and not to interfere wfth
other people’s religion. Happily,
party feeling was not so bitter then
as now, and as everybody wanted
Gaston on the bench, nobody chal
lenged his qualifications. In tboee
days, too, one party could as safely
entrust its political rights to a Judge
of opposite politics as to one of its
own organization, for a Supreme
Court beoch was incapable of party
jugglery. How times hare changed!
AMAIUNINU SOI THEKN COXSIKM
MEN.
The Clncinaati Enquirer publishes
a Washington special of the 18th
Inst,, which charges a "contract" be
tween certain Democratic Congress
men and the Hayes’ Administration,
which not only stipulates for the re
moval of troops from tho South, but
provides for the election of a Repub
lican Speaker of the House. The
dispatch says that a written agree
ment was entered Into, signed by
Matthews and Foster for the Admip*,
istration, and that Foster is to be the
Speaker—a sufficient number of
Southern Democratic Representa
tives voting for him to olect him.
We are not prepared to believe
that portion of this charge which
relates to the election of a Re
publican Speaker by South
ern Democratic votes. But
really we caunot set) what
other course Southern Representa
tives faithful to the interests of their
section could pursue, except to se
cure whatever they could from
Hayes, after Northern Democrats
bad tamely permitted the consum-
mation of the fraud which gave him
the Presidency. We do not allude
to the securing of offices, but to a
change of the policy of Orant’s ad
min Istration, which held the South
ern States under military rule, not
as co-equal members of the Union,
but us conquered provinces. What,
do Northern Democrats undesstand
to be the reason why a “solid South’’
voted for Tllden? Do they suppose
that It was on account of the finan
cial policy of the party, especially of
thut portion of It which Mr. Tilden
represents? We could not see any
great difference between our own and
the Republican platform on
that score, and neltherj represen
ted the general desire of the South
ern people for the maintenance of
the greenback currency and free
banking. Do they think that we were
in love with their Tariff policy ?
Here, again, tho difference between
the systems of tho two parties is not
distinct enough to arouse any enthu
siasm, Do they suppose that we
were captivated by Gov. Tiiden’s
emphatic and gratuitous declaration
that he would, if elected, veto any
bill refunding the unjust and Invid
ious cotton taxes extorted from the
Southern people? Nothing of this
sort. The Southern people rallied to
the support of Tllden and Hendricks
because their election promised them
deliverance from the oppressions and
wrongs to which they bad been sub
jected under Grant, and because
of their desire to put a Btop
to corruption and fraud—including
such frauds as those which Northern
Democratic Congressmen permitted
to triumph in the Installation of
Hayes. When in spite of the “solid
vote” of the South, the Democrats of
the North acquiesced in Hayes’ in
auguration, and Southern Congress
men wero unable to prevent It, who
eau blame them for obtaining, as a
consideration for refraining from un
availing opposition to the last stage
of the fraud, the recognition of the
right of their States to be let alone by
tho Federal power? If they have
really extorted this much from the
the Hayes administration, thoy have
secured u portion of what they most
had at heart, and that, without any
concessions for which Northern
Democrats havo a right to taunt
them.
A BACK. BOWK.
The determination of the Cabinet
at Washington to send a “Commis
sion” to New Orleans, previous to the
withdrawal of the troops, looks very
much like a yielding of the Adminis
tration to Radical and carpet-bag
clamor. It is contrary to the pro
fessions of the inaugural address, to
Foster’s promises, and to the report
ed understanding which checked
Democratic filibustering. This is
a very bad beginning for the Huyos
administration, snd will everywhere
arouse contempt for it* weakness. It
justifies the suspicion that action in
the Louisiana and South Carolina
cases was only deferred until the ad
journment of the Senate, so as to
wheedle Southern Democratic Sena
tors and induce them to prevent
the defeat of the President’s
nominations by the extremists.
We trust that Mr. Key, if not Mr.
Sebura also, will after this come to
the conclusion that be cannot hon
orably remain longer in the Cabinet,
if Hayes adopts this recommenda
tion. We hope, too. that the people
of Louisiana and South Carolina
will firmly maintain their purpose to
have only Nicholls and Hampton
for Governors.
BOW PACKARD WAS INCITED.
The sudden movement ot Packard
for the precipitation of a conflict in
Louisiana—after he had been appeal
ing for the maintenance of the status
guo—in explained as follows In a spe
cial from Washington to the Cincin
nati Enquirer, which paper publish
ed it before receiving intelligence
from New Orleans of the progress
of the plot;
The carpet-baggers of Louisiana
have advised Packard from this point
not to abdicate, no matter what pol
icy the Administration may pursue.
They remind him that the parishes
immediately contiguous to New Or
leans predominate with blacks, and
(that if Nicholls should antagonize
hid Administration, he has the pow
er,and that it is his duly as the Exec
utive.tooall upon them to aid him to
uphold his Government. Congress
man Darrall says that on two day’s
notice Packard could have at least
two thousand black followers with
white officers in the streets of New
Orleans, and that be has at least 3,000
stand ot arms. The game is now, if
; the frieudß of Nicholls gfcvb Hayes a
guarantee that Packard shall not bo
disturbed, to force matters to such a,
point that Nicholls will have to vio
the the truce to protect himself,
then the Federal army will be neces
sary to restore quiet, and Hayes will
have to meet the issue, and either
drive Packard or Nicholls out at the
point of the bayonet. This is theshape
the carpet-baggers wish the issue to
assame, and Packard is believed to
bejrameeaough to bring it about
Got. Kellogg leaves here to-morrow
to advise Packard to hold out and to
co-operate with him.
■EAMONM FOE A CONVENTION.
The following preamble and reso
lutions wero offered by James M.
liussell, Esq., a delegate from Mus
oogee to the Democratic State Con
vention wbioh last year nominated
General Colquitt for Governor. Mr.
liussell was on the committee on the
Platform, and reported these resolu
tions, which were discussed in the
Convention, and then withdrawn by
him for the sake of harmony, as the
opinion bad been expressed tbattbe
Convention ought not to act on the
subject. We copy the preamble and
resolutions now, because they pre
sent reasons In favor of a Convention
by one of its earliest and most
zealous advocates:
We, the delegates of the Democrat
ic party of Georgia assembled in
Convention, do hereby declare that
the time has come when the great
principles of free government should
be reasserted with clearness, and an
appeal should be made to the people
of this great commonwealth to give
them their hearty and unwavering
support. That iu consideration of
the fact thut at all times men are
subject to the influence of passion
and without the wholesome restraint
of some superior law may be impell
ed to perform sudden and violent
acts, subversive of the rights of the
whole people and the true principles
of good government, the statesmen
who organized our political institu
tions did provide fundamental laws
embodied in written constitutions
solemnly ordained for their
own government and protec
tion, which constitutions de
fined and established as or
ganic law tho great principles
of free government, and ordained
that no change should be made in
these fundamental laws, nor suould
they be disregarded or set aside, nor
at any time modified or annulled ex
cept in the mode prescribed and by
the people sanctioned.
That, in utter disregard of those
great principles, the Constitution
which had been established for the
people of Georgia and bad received
their approval and support was in
1868, before the State had recovered
from the disastrous results of tho re
cent war, and while the military
power of the Oeneral Government
was present in the land and menaced
the free and deliberate action of the
people, set aside and annulled.
That the great central truth in the
Declaration of Independence, around
which are clustered all the great
principles asserted iu that immortal
paper, is the right of every free peo
ple to make laws for the government
of themselves; that no government
can be a just or rightful government
which does not derive its authority
from the consent of tho people;
that the right of the people to be
heard and act through their repre
sentatives chosen by themselves in
framing their Constitution and mak
ing their laws “is a right
inestimable to them and for
midable to tyrants only;” that the
true principle underlying every free
government is, that it is a govern
ment made by the people for them
selves; to be administered by the
people through their chosen repre
sentatives, and for tho good of the
people, to protect them "in tho en
joyment of life, liberty aad the pur
suit of happiness.”
That the great principles of free
government asserted in the declara
tion of independence and embodied
in the Constitution established by
our fathers for the people of this
State, have been grossly violated by
the body calling itself a Constitution
al Convention in 1868; tbattbe peo
ple were denied the right to frame
their own Constitution, and to be
represented by men chosen by them
selves in making laws to govern
them.
That the Constitution adopted by
the body calling itself a State Con
vention, which assembled at Atlanta
in 1868, is not the Constitution to
which the people of Georgia gave
their approval or sanction ; that in
dependently of the irregular and im
proper mode in which it was framed
and adopted, it embodies provisions
unwise and subversive of the princi
ples of good government; that it is
inconsistent with the spirit that has
ever animated the Democratic party;
that among other numerous objec
tionable features it concentrates too
much power in the hands of the Ex
ecutive ; confers upon him patronage
which Is dangerous; that it
not only empowers the Gov
ernor to name every Judge
in the State, every Solicitor General,
and numerous officials connected
with the State Departments, but con
fers on him the power to appoint of
ficials in each militia district; it de
prives the people (and so intended
to) and their representatives of their
just and proper influence in the ad
ministration of the government; and
that in making the tenure of office
longer than heretofore, longer than
ever before known in this State, and
in providing one currency for offi
cials and another for the people, it
manifests a disregard of the people,
and tends to create a privileged
class of office-holders, thus violating
the elementary principles of free
government. Therefore,
Be it Resolved, That it is the sense
of this body, that a Constitution
ought to be ordained and established
by the people of the State of Georgia,
through their representatives, fairly
chosen by themselves, and empow
ered and delegated with authority to
do so.
2. Resolved. That it is the sense of
this body, that the Legislature at
its next session should, immediately
nnou its assembling, proceed to
adopt the proper measures for the
call of a Constitutional Convention
of the people of Georgia.

If Hayes had not beaten Allen for
Governor of Ohio lu 1875 he would
never have been heard of at the Cin
cinnati Convention. What secured
his election in that cainpaigu? It
was not the bloody shirt issue raised
by Morton, nor the hard money Issue
which Schnrz tried to make promi
nent; but it was the Catholic school
question that turned the scale in
favor of Hayes. Leaving others to
spend their strength in waving the
bloody shirt or waste their breath in
talking about hard money. Father
Taft traveled all through the State
attacking the Pope and defending
the publio schools, and thus carried
the day for Hayes, and opened the
way for his nomination to the Presi
dency. And what reward does Father
Taft get for his services? He is turn
ed out of the Cabinet, while Sehruz
is taken In; and though Don Com
eron can get his father’s seat in the
Senate. Father Taft is not allowed to
step into John Sheron’s shoes, but is
left quite out in the cold.

A Wheal •‘Corner” In Mllwuukee.
The Chicago Tribune of Friday
says: "Parties who are usually well

Operators in Minnesota having
bought some 8,000,(8X1 bushels In the
City of Bricks, which haa only a little
more than 2,000,000 bushels wheat in
store, or say, one quarter the quanti
ty sold. Many of those who sold
short in Milwaukee bought here, our
market being usually the lowest;
they calculated on being able to
make one hand wash the other in
case the Milwaukee deal should go
against them. The difference hae,
however, wludened so much that the
process of covering in both places
involves a loss, and so they are not
selling in Chicago to any great ex
tent, though anxious to buy in Mil
waukee. The people of Minnesota
appear to have little more wheat to
send in, and the shorts will be obli
ged to settle with the men who
operate on the theory of a short
crop, Meanwhile all the wheat of
the Northwest that can be sent to
Milwaukee will naturally go there,

leaving us with the smallest wheat
receipts known to the trade in many

The Cuthbert Appeal publishes the

"On Saturday last Mr. Holt, living
near Ward’s station, lost his little
son, about six years old, by death,
Mrs. Holt, at time of her child’s
death, was in perfect health, but her
loss proved more than she could
hear. She prayed earnestly that
God would take her with her little
boy—that she did not wish to live
away from him—and at nine o’clock
on Sunday she was a corpse by the
side of her dead child. Just before
her death she asked her sister if she
would take her infant, a child some
six months old, and being informed
that she would retired upon her bed
saying ‘I will now die,’ and expired
without a struggle. She was hurried
in the grave with her child.”
A Washington letter alluding to the
nomination ot Fred. Douglass as United
States marshal of the District of Colum
bia, says: When the name of Mr. Doug
lass was first suggested for the marshal
ship it was thought that one of his duties
would be to atteud at the Presidential
levees and receptions, ami introduce tlie
guest. A confidential friend of President
Hayes remarked: “Do you think the
President will haven nigger to introduce
people to his wife?’’ Afterwards it was
found that it was not necessarily
a part of the official duties of
the marshal, as it was mentioned that
for several years Gen. Babcock and others
of the immediate household of the Presi
dent had acted as grand high chamber
lain. It was therefore understood that
Mr. Douglass is to have no connection
with the White House.
