EQUAL RIGHTS IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Considering that the cry for “equal
rights,” especially for negroes, had its
chief origin in Massachusetts, it was fair
to presume that Massachusetts would give
a bright and shining example to the world
of the integrity of her theories. But such
Is not the fact. A negro cannot vote In
the Bay State unless his taxes are paid
and unless, too, he knows how to read and
■write. This property and educational
qualification has reduced negro suffrage in
Massachusetts to a practical nullity. Not
only has Massachusetts long preserved this
law against the poor and ignorant of all
classes upon her statute books, but her
Legislature has persistently refused to ob
literate it, XVth Amendment or no XVth
Amendment. The last attempt to over
throw this proscription was on the
19th of April last. The mover of re
peal was a Democrat, who stated that
no less than 55,000 citizens, white and
black, especially the latter, were dis
franchised on ’ account of indigence or
want of scholarship. The bill of repeal
Was defeated by a vote 98 to 59, all the
Democrats voting for universal suffrage,
and nearly all the Radicals against it.
Wherefore, 55,000 citizens, mostly negroes,
are outlawed in Massachusetts, because
the Radicals of the Legislature refuse to
recognize the doctrine of equal political
rights at home, though the fiercest advo
cates of its observance in the case of tbeir
neighbors. When this monstrous hypocri
sy is conjoined with the immorality and in
fidelity of the people of that rabid Puritan
Commonwealth, it is easy to believe that
something much worse than an earth-
quake is preparing for reprobates who not
only imagine that God has forgotten them,
but actually assume to dictate to the
Almighty on the plea that Beast Butler
is His noblest work and a codfish His
greatest miracle.
The Yankee God.— Principles in the
shape of abstractions are good in their
way, but the seven Democratic principles
of John Randolph, the “ five loaves and
two fishes,” or, in other words, the sub
stantial principles of “ the almighty dol
lar,” are the principles that will carry the
Democracy to Washington.
[New York Herald.
And carry the Democracy farther still—
to the devil to wit.
Poor Jack. —Some of the sailors of
the United States frigate Guerriere hav
ing complained in the public prints
of the cruelty and inhumanity of their
officers, the officers prohibit the sale
of the offeMing journal on board their
ship. The Sun advises the .tack-tars to
get their papers by post, and see if the
commander of the Guerriere is a mail rob
ber as well as a tyrant.
A Valuable Suggestion. —The Balti
more Gazette's Washington correspondent,
«x,” shows more principle as well as
brains and patriotism than any man about
the Federal Capital lately. If the new
Democratic paper about to be established
there should be put into his hands it might
come to something.
Cotton— The New York Commercial
Bulletin feels confident that prices for cot
ton will not materially rally for some time
to come. It says, however, that the facts
of the situation do not justify despondency
among holders of the staple, but rather
couusel a judicious waiting for the course
of events.
Personal.— The miny friends of Col.
James Gardner will bo glad to welcoaae
him back to Augusta, on a tour ol business
and recreation. We cannot hope to match
the splendors of New York, but we know
that the sights and sounds, this week, in
his native place, will be very dear to Col.
Gardner's heart.
Sarcastic. —Hon. Sam. Randall, Chair
man of the Congressional Democratic Com
mittee, so-called, has issued a congratu
latory address on the subject of the late
elections. It is a wishy-washy affair, and
reads like a congratulation of Samuel J.
Randall by Samuel J. Randall on sav
ing his individual bacon at party expense.

Gov. Scott.— Commenting upon Gen.
Hampton’s exposure of Gov. £cott, of
South Carolina, the New York Sun (Radi
cal) says: #
“ It Is not easy to reconcile these pledges
with party fealty, or their violation with
political morality.”
Call it an eccentricity of loilty and the
thing is done.
Rombabteb. —Beast Butler has been re
nominated for Congress from Massachu
setts. It is said the Beast contemplates an
ear y war between the Bay State and Great
Britain. The codfish smacks are preparing
to annihilate the English iron-clads—with
6tinks.
Grant and Cameron.— There seems to
be no doubt that Grant’s first favorite be
fore the throne is old Simon Cameron,
whose ague fit in Baltimore recently caused
the Yankees to think that the Old Boy was
after them with an earthquake.
Sensible. —A certain J. M. Langston,
b’s k man, said in a recent speech he “ ac
cepted the word negro because he was a
negro himself.”
A Mocking Bird.— The President-Gen
era 1 has a “ policy,” something like ANDREW
Johnson’s, only more so.

Vert Good.— South Carolina has, It ap
pears, contrived to elect one bona fide ne

Grand Exposition. —Such is the an

of Messrs. Jas A. Gray & Cos. They have
one of the largest and finest stooksof goods
to be found in any Southern city. Call on
them and they will treat you conrteonsly.

pleasure in inviting attention to the ad
vertisement of Mr. W. H. Barrett in this

chanlce’ and Agricultural Fair. Yesterday
we spent several hours within the en
closure, and propose, briefly as possible, to
furnish our readers with the result of* our
observation, hoping that it may prove ad
vantageous to them In their tours of inspec
tion during the week. l m
The main entrance to the grounds is In
the centre of the northern limit of the en
closure. The gateways are very handsome
specimens of architecture, and of such
dimensions aB will render “ crowding” out
of the question. Just before arriving at
these entrances, ticket offices, with nu
merous attendants, will be observed, where
visitors not already provided with tickets
may secure them. On entering you behold,
stretched out before you, a miracle of
human industry. Facing south, on the
east you see the building set apart for the
use of the President and Secretary; on the
west is the office of the Treasurer. These
ace neat and attractive cottages. The
broad carriage way in which you find your
self proceeds several hundred feet directly
south, and terminates at a fountain of mag
nificent proportions and elegant design.
Between this fountain and the entrance,
on the right and on the left, are
placed bronzed lions and statues of
the Goddesses of Fruits and Flowers.
Leading off in gracefal carves are
drives and promenades by way of which
visitors can reach all portions of this vast
park. These to the left lead us to the
Grand Hall of Flora and Pomona. This
hall is two hundred feet in length and
forty in width. As the name denotes, It will
be devoted chiefly to the reception and ex
hibition of specimens of horticulture, flori
culture, arborculture, fruits aud wines.—
Bat there will also be exposed here articles
of interest in the household depaitrnent,
such as bread, butter, cheese, pickles, pre
serves, honey, meat 6, etc., as well as needle
work, embroidery, worsted work, In fact
all of the thousand and oue articles of do
mestic manufacture useful and ornamental,
for which the Georgia housewife is famous.
This department promises to be decidedly
interesting, and of which the superinten
dent, Gen. A. R. Wright, may well be
proud.
Leaving the Hall by the west door, we
proceed to the one opposite, which, in di
mensions, is Its counterpart. There we
find fabrics of cotton and wool—sheetings,
shirtings, twills, cheeks, cotton blankets
and woolen goods. Agricultural products,
save cotton, will also be on exhibition in
tbi6 building, specimens of all kinds of
furniture, aud carving in wood and other
material. Stoves, cookiDg utensils, fine
cutlery, tools, guns, pistols, sporting and
fishing tackle without stint.
The western extremity of this hall is
occupied by the Southern Express Com
pany and the Western Union Telegraph
Company. The offices of these companies
are open for business, and their enterprise
will be duly appreciated by all.
The race course, which is in the centre
of the grounds, is just half a mile in circum
ference, broad, and level as a billiard table.
We fancy it will be a pleasure for the
animals to show their speed upon it.
West of the race'course is the grand
stand for the accommodation of spectators
of the races and tournament. This stand,
which is capable of seating twenty-five
hundred persons, ts the upper story of a
building two hundred feet long and forty
feet wide. The scats rise in tiers, oue above
the other, affording to occupants an unin
terrupted vlevy of the entire grounds and
miles of surrounding country. The first
floor of this building will be occupied by
various persons, wjierein they will dis
pense creature comforts at reasonable rates.
A large room lu the north end has been de
voted to the members of the Press, where
they will find every facility afforded them
for the performance of their arduous duties.
On the southern side of the grounds
is situated Mechanics’ Hall, of line
dimensions of the two first named. Here
will be exhibited machinery of all kinds,
those tending to the saving of labor
iu agricultural pursuits having a prom
inent place in the exposition. A large
30 horse power steam engine occopies an
adjoining building, aud will, It is thought,
be sufficient to propel all the machinery
that may be attached to the 200 feet of
shafting which extends the entire length of
the hall. In and around this hall will be
collected every variety of agricultural im
plements—cotton gins, hay and cotton
presses, horse powers, etc. To the east,
and opposite to the Grand Stand, is the
building intended for the exposition of
cotton and'other bulky products of the
field.
Numerous and commodious stalls for the
accommodation of horses and cattle are
provided on the eastern and western sides
of the ground, while enclosures for the
safe keeping aud exhibition of sheep, hogs,
etc., skirt the southern line of the wall.
Water and feed will be found convenient
for the stock within the enclosure.
We have thus Imperfectly indicated to
our readers the leading features of our
Fair Grounds, and trust that this sketch
will aid them somewhat, when they essay
their tours of inspection. We advise no
oueto go in a hurry. Take time. Visit
each hail in detail, and thus full benefit
will be derived and much valuable informa
tion acquired. The modes of transporta
tion to the grounds are numerous. The
number of street cars will be increased,
omnibuses, backs and carriages will ply
frequent trips from Broad and other streets,
and pedestrlaus will find scoresof available
routes by which they can reach the grounds
and avoid the dust of vehicles.

A Knight Killed at the State Fair

daring the progress of the tournament at
Oglethorpe Park, near Atlauta, M. E.
Kenny, the Knight of the Red Hand, hav
ing finished , his third course, caught up
with the Knight of the White Gauntlet,
and entered upon a race from thence
around the track, but upon nearing the
place where the knights were standing, his
horse took fright, and,dashing through the
off-railing, terribly crushed Mr. Kenny,
from which he died in a few minutes.
Upon ascertaining the fatal nature of the
wounds, the knights declined farther to
ride, and the crowd broke up, it being an
nounced that the tournament would be re

A Scene in Beecher’s Church.— A few
Sundays ago, as Mr. Beecher was about
commencing his sermon, a stout, fatherly
looking man was endeavoring to make his
way through the crowd to get within a
better bearing distance of the distinguished
orator. At that moment Mr. Beecher’6
voice rang out the words of the text:
“ Who art thou ?” “ Who art thou ?”
again cried out the dramatic preacher.
The stout party, thinking himself in the
wrong, perhaps, by pressing forward, and
believing himself to be personally address
ed, startled the brethren and nonplussed
their reverend chieftain by sedately reply
ing:
“I am a pig merchant from Chicago, sir.
1 hope yon ain’t mad. There ain’t nary
chair, or elso I’d set down.”
Plymouth Church didn’t recover its se
renity for ten minutes.
General Sheridan.— General Sheridan
is said to have congratulated Count Bis
marck upon the surrender of the French
Emperor and of Napoleon, saying that it
reminded him of the surrender of General
Lee at Appomattox. This vular military
sn<>b has killed himself by that compliment
in the favor of the Court whom the obse
qo ous donkey has been following about
so; tne last month like a spaniel. Just
think of it I Germany, as she is pluming
herself upon having done what neither
Germany nor any other nation ever did be
fore, overthrowing the greatest military
power of the world in four weeks, and with
the surrendered bayonets of eighty thousand
French veterans under her feet, is told by
this cock-sparrow Yankee General that the
sublime prodigy In human warfare re
minds him of the surrender of eight thous
and worn ont Confederate muskets to
General Grant, after a war of four years!

“ How shall yon manage roar husband

Yes, really a wonderiul creature,
Inconsistent atad dreadfully queer,
fon’il soon know thq secret by learning
The modus operand-, my dear.
H he stays out too late it the evening.
Partaking of supper aid wine,
Don’t prove him a base Rbricator,
when he comes, by asking the time,
For he surely will tell y«u the town clock,
nut a moment before rang out one—
When It Btruc-k he had counted it over
Just three times, befoje it had done.”
And then if his hat in the morniog,
Is smaller by far than his bead,
Don’t hint by the merest allusion,
That his lordship went tipsy to bed.
But rather regard the occurrence
A phenomenon puzzling queer,
With a strange look of mystification
In yonr eyes, If he’s j watching, my dear.
And don’t fail to sow on bis buttons.
And mend all his clothing with card.
Don’t tease him for money for shopping
Don’t frown when he acts like a bear.
Don’t tell him too of tee, my deary,
That yonr head is acting with pain,
Lest he whisper way dswn in his bosom,
“ 0,1 wish I was single again !”
Don’t tell him that Mary, the housemaid,
And Ann, the obstreperous cook,
Refuse to receive yonr suggestions,
With even so much as p look.
Don’t tell him bow vary annoying
You so often haveteund it to be.
To be told to “ get out of the kitchen,
Aud don’t come a botherin’ of me!”
But always seem cheerful and happy,
And always look pleasant and gay.
Than a frown there in nothing more potent
In 'driving one’s husband away.
ADd thus yon must ever keep striving,
You wifi find it an excellent plan#
But whatever you do, dear, remember,
That your husband is only a man.

• Sandeksville, October 21,1870.
Gentlemen : Your very unexpected,
but kind aud complimentary no r e, of the
18th iust., has just been handed to me. I
warmly appreciate the good feeling and
generous confidence it manifests towards
me. lam proud lo kuow that I am thus
esteemed by so many of the of
a community in which 1 lived for twenty
years. It is proper to say, however, in re
ply to your request to let my name be pre
sented to the Con^ss 4 to
assemble on after
was. known not
allow his uam’J CB before the
convention, I swN. ~Xin y friends
the name of Maj. B. Trimming, of
Augusta. I still hope that Maj. C. can be
induced to make the race; and, if so, of
course I would not allow my name present
ed for consideration. Maj. C. is a man of
flue learniug, high moral worth aud ability,
and his nomination would be an excellent
one, and give general satisfaction. Two of
the gentlemen who have honored me with
the letter to which I am now replying, and
who corresponded with me in reference to
the Congressional nomination before the
convention met, already know my views
on this subject, as I suggested his name to
them at that time.
For myself, I can truthfully say that, un
der my present circumstance , I do uot de
sire the position ; yet it has ever been my
course to neither seek nor decline office,
and, if l should be placed in nomination
and elected, would give my best energies
to the duties the posltiou would devolve
upon me.
It is more than likely, however, that the
several delegations have already centered
upon some suitable man for the position
made vacant by the much regretted resig
nation of Judge Reese. But whether this
be so or not, under no circumstances
would 1 consent for my uame to be pre
sented If Maj. O. could be induced to per
mit the use of his name ; and, in the event
of his refusal, still not, unless, upon con
sultation among the delegates, tbereshould
be manifested a general desire for me,
which Ido not at all anticipate. Again
assuring vou, geutlemcn, of my gratifica
tion at the compliment you have bestowed
upon me,
I have the honor be, truly yours,
James S. Hook.

NIGHT DISPATCHES,
Tours, October 24. —Ponrtalis, editor of
Le Verite , has been imprisoned for publish
ing false news. An explanatory letter,
published in Ln Verite, says Chevalier
Wyckoff furnished notes for the report fbr
which Pourtalis was punished.
Figaro gives the details of the affair of
Marguerite Bettanger, proving that she
assumed maternity of a child of a great
lady and the Emperor to calm the jealousy
of the Empress. The publication of private
documents found in the Tuileries is con
tinued
I/i France says England was not solicit
ed again by France, whose application she
at first refused. France asks not for an
armistice, and has not authorized England
to ask for one since the failue of Favre.
Francahas thought only of authorizing for
defense. Whatever her motive, England
must see we are determined. Bhe must
notice the mustering of our Mobile Guard,
and the spirit of Paris, Lyons and other large
cities. As England now proposer the
armistice. It must be because she expects
proposals to be made which we will accept.”
The Steele more violently relnses to admit
the good intentionsofEngland, and believes
she is acting solely for Prussia, who at la-t
finds she has undertaken on impossible
task. England is advised to tell Prussia
to make most reasonable demands, else war
outrance will be the only result.
Letters from Clement Duvernois to
Oliver clearly establish the liberal views of
the former.
Private and official accounts praise Tro
chu for good judgment and unremitting
activity. His energy prevails over every
thing and his popularity is unbounded.—
Paris feels the utmost confidence in his pa
triotism and ability.
News-has been received from Verdun
that the garrison made a sortie, in which
they drove the enemy trom some of their
fortifications, killing many and capturing
two mortars and twenty-two cannon.
Le Francais says an armistice lias not
yet been concluded, but the hope is enter
tained of peace. All are surprised at the
attitude of England in this affair. Having
paid no attention to the solicitations of
Jules Favre or the arguments of Thiers, she
suddenly does much more than was asked
of her; tabes the initiative and proposes
bluntly a suspension of aims to allow a
Constituent Assembly, which may make
peace. In thus acting, does England listen
to general interests, to considerations of
policy and humanity, or is she secretly
pushed by a belligerent who has bad all
her sympathy up to the present time ?
The Journal adds: “ Many persons in
cline to the belief that the English Cabinet
is now acting by the advice of Prussia, who
stopped indefinitely before Paris, and lias
iuformed England that the time has come
for action on her part ”
London, October 24—It is said Lavrler’
