GEORGIA POLITICS.
About two weeks since, Senator Simon
Cameron made a pilgrimage to Georgia.
It was rumored at the time that he came
hither to teach the trooly loil of this region
how to “fix things” in December next;
and, more especially, so to fix them that
Attorney General Akerman conld, by some
jugglery, become a Senator, leaving the
Crown Office to be filled by a Cameronian
tool. Well, Simon came, Simon saw,
and Simon thinks he conquered. At all
events, he has returned to Washington,
and, being interviewed by a Herald Paul
Pry, is reported as follows:
“ The Senator savs everything now looks
very hopeful for a Republican victory. Os
course he disclaims, in his usual modest
way, any services of his own that would be
likely to contribute to the success of the
party. The organization is very good, and
the members of it pretty generally united.
Senator Cameron thinks if the full negro
vote can be brought out the Republicans
will have a fair majority. There are some
fears, however, that the negroes in the
country districts may be kept away from
the polls through intimidation. To prevent
this the Senator is of opinion that a strong
force of troops should be distributed through
the State. This would give courage to the
negro voters, while at the same time it
would prevent any disorder or outbreak.
“ Governor Bullock, of Georgia, is also
here, and had an interview with the Presi
dent, as did also Senator Cameron. It is
understood that both gentlemen expressed
their views of the situation in Georgia to
the President, and urged the policy of hav
ing a sufficient military force in Georgia to
protect all the legal voters.
“As already indicated in these dispatches,
the President, through the Secretary of
War, has ordered that additional troops be
sent to Georgia, to remain until after the
election. Should the Republicans carry
the Legislature, Governor Bullock will be a
candidate for the United States Senate, and
the chances are that he will be elected.
The success of the Republican party in
Georgia will naturally strengthen the posi
tion of Attorney General Akerman —who is
from that State—in the Cabinet. That
gentleman, therefore, is very solicitous for
the success of the party.”
It would seem that “ a Republican suc
cess in Georgia” is very desirable personally
for Bullock and Akerman. To that end,
a most atrocious outrage has been per
petrated in the election bill, inspired by the
Crown-Officer, and bayonets are to be
brought into requisition, ostensibly to pre
vent intimidation of negro voters, but really
in the hope that white suffragans shall be
the victims of menace. Wc suspect that
Simon Cameron had a game of his own in
coming hither. He never had much
reputation for the keen point of honor
iu any of his dealings, and Legisla
tures and venal public characters have,
for many years, been but the convenient
instruments of his ambition for prfwer and
wealth. The y>ld buzbard has doubtless
scented the State Road spoils from afar,
and wishes to be present at tbe ravishment of
that money-making concern. A Republican
success to him means money in his pock
et, no matter how it may be filched from
Georgia. Aud if his design can be accom
plished all the better by making Bullock
and Akerman modestly comfortable, the
balance of the people, white and black, can
go to the devil and shake themselves. What
Simon’s peculiar ideas of “fixing things”
are, and what the particular spoil he ex
pects to reap thereby, we shall presently
know. That all the prodigal powers of
the Federal and State government will be
employed to swindle the Democracy out
of the December election, no sane man can
doubt. We shall be obliged to fight up
hill ; but the very fact that our enemies are
so desperately bent upon coercing us
should Are our souls with a determi
nation to leave no effort unemployed
to baffle the foe and rout him from
every stronghold. Let it be remembered
for our comfort that election laws in other
States quite as flagitious as that concocted
by Akerman and McCay have been borne
down by the resistless onset of the people.
Let it not be forgotten also that President-
General Grant’s bayonets do not always, in
these latter days, work the miracles ex
pected of them. At all events, let every
Georgian gird up his loins for the coming
struggle and do his utmost to defeat the
knavish lust of Cameron, the wily hopes
of Akerman and the bloated pride of Bul
lock. A good deal of this military array
is more to create a species of panic among
the Democracy than anything else. If there
was a State in all the “ Uniou” which would
have been “ fixed” by military occupation,
during the November elections, Maryland
was that State. But the people of that
plucky and undaunted Commonwealth
were not a bit scared, and, as it appears,
had really little to fear from the presence of
the“boysin blue.” The following significant
dialogue, which recently cropped out in the
columns of the Eastern Shoreman, tells a
curious story :
“As the eleveu United soldiers
were returning from Princess Anne, the
cars stopped at Seaford, Del., and the United
States Marshal, Houston, of that place,
entered the car, and asked the captain how
the election passed off.
“ 1 Oh, fine, very flue,’ said the captain.
“ Marshal—Was there a quiet election ?
“ Captain—Perfectly, sir; no disturbance.
“ Marshal—And the Radicals all voted f
“ Captain—l guess so.
“ Marshal—Well, how is the election
gone ?
“ Captain—Every d—d Radical is cleaned
up, never will be heard of any more down
there, dear sir; dead as a herring; gone up
Salt river in a leaky craft.
“ Marshal—What! didn’t you go down
to protect the Radicals ?
“ Captain—Not a d—d bit of it 1 lam a
Democrat, and every man under me is a
Democrat, and in two years we intend to
clean up that d—d rascal, old granny
Grant.
“ The Marshal fled in dismay.”
It may be that soldiers and officers of a
different sort will be sent hither; but they
may be harder to find than old Simon Cam
eron and his Georgia co-conspirators im
agine. But no matter who shall come
here to “ fix ” us; pimps of pig iron and
Tailroad swindling protectionists, or men
With muskets. We should resolve with
one mighty purpose to redeem Georgia
from knaves within and without the cita
del. By untiring vigilance, perfect har
mony and fearless purpose we can conquer
everywhere and conquer for good.
A Model Legislature.— The Legisla
ture of Vermont adjourned before Thanks
giving Day, and will not meet again for
two years.
BADLY SOLD.
Very few men were so badly sold during
the war as Commodore Vanderbilt, that
eminent man of money and patriot pare.
He had a talk with* Mr. Douglass, at the
Revenue Department, in Washington, the
other day,, and one grievance forcing an
other to the surface, thus pitsously told
how the 44 best Government the world ever
saw” circumvented one of its most adoring
children. We quote from the New York
Sun:
“ As the distinguished party were about
leaving Mr. Douglass and Mr. Smith, and
as the Commodore rose to go he replied, in
a sharp, shrill voice, * We’ll make war if I
don’t get justice!’ and as the rest were
making their adieus, he continued : ‘I am
not very good at this kind of business; the
last time I was here, it was on business
that I could do better.’ Mr. Douglass ask
ed what that was, aud he replied, 4 It was
about
MY SHIP VANDERBILT,’
and he continued: 4 1 was served meanly
about that, meaner than any government
ever served a man before or since.’
44 4 How was that Commodore?’ asked
Mr. Douglass.
44 The Commodore answered, 4 Why,
they never gave me my vessel back, and it
is now the finest ship ever built, rotting at
the wharves at San Francisco.’
44 Mr. Douglass said he always supposed
that the Commodore gave the steamship to
the Government.
“ 4 Well,’ the Commodore replied, 4 1 did,
but it was in this way : One day I received
a telegram from E. M. Stanton, asking
what 1 would contract to run down with
one of my vessels and sink the rebel iron
clad Merrimac, which was now about ready
to come out of Norfolk.
44 To this I responded that it was an af
fair of too much importance to be nego
tiated by telegraph, and I would be at the
War Department next day. I accordingly
came over, was shown in to the Secretary,
and closed the door, and I asked him if
there was auv one else he wanted to talk to
about this. He replied, 4 Yes, Mr. Lincoln.’
I said, 4 Well, suppose we go
OVER TO THE WHITE HOUBE,
as I do not want to talk it over more than
once.’ He consented, and we walked over
together. lat once Informed Mr. Lincoln
that I was determined that I would not
allow myself to do anything by which I
could be ranked with the herd of thieves
and vampires who were fattening off the
Government by means of army contracts ;
that I had no vessels to sell or bargains to
make, except one. I was told to name it.
I replied, 1 will undertake to sink the rebel
iron-clad the moment she comes out. I
will present the Vanderbilt to the Govern
ment on condition that she remains under
my control, and I act with her independent
of any control from the navy.’ They as
sented, and asked when I could get her to
Fortress Monroe. 1 said in 86 hours.—
They asked what my plan was, and I said
to keep steam up, and protecting my vessel
as much as possible by various means, to
RUN RIGHT INTO THE REBEL
and drown her; that no vessel had been or
could be made by the rebels which could
survive the concussion, or stand before the
weight of the Vanderbilt, and that my
plan was liable to fall only in one contin
gency, uamely, thatof getting an accidental
shot where it would sink her. Well, in
forty hours she was at Fortiess Monroe,
and I at once commenced to prepare her to
resist the shot of the enemy; in ten days time
the Monitor came out and sunk the Merri
mack, and I never put my vessel into action,
but was there all the same, and ready. Now
WIIAT OUGHI’ THE GOVERNMENT TO HAVE
DONE?
Why, returned me my vessel; but, no, they
were too mean, and though she cost me
$1,200,000, and 1 was willing to lose her, if
necessary, to aid the Government, yet they
meanly keep her and are letting her rot
down, of no use to the Government or to
any one else. But I won’t ask for her ; for
when I put her into the service I gave the
War Department a bill of sale for her
for sl.”
If we mistake not, the poor man was
fairly beslavered with praise for his mu
nificent gift to the Government when the
national life was out of catnip. He never
raised any protest during the war, but
swallowed all the laudatory slop that was
commended to his eager lips. Now that
the pomp and pageantry are over, and the
meanness and the tyranny and the crime of
that Government are coming to light, the
miserable Commodore, trembling on the
verge of eternity, flaunts his farcical bill
of sale for one dollar into the very eyes of
the Great Accident, the Smoky Cassar, and
wails as Varro did for his legions, or
rather as Shylock did for the jewels pur
loined by his absconding daughter. Jessica
sold the torquoise ring, which the Jew’s
wife had given him, for a monkey. The
“ best Government ” lets Vanderbilt fume
and his ship rot. Not for a “ wilderness
of monkeys ” would Shvlock have parted
with the gift of Leah. Not for a myriad
of Grants would the venerable Vander
bilt part with his rotting steamer. In
view of bellicose Ben Butler’s belligerent
belch, met'pinks we see the Commodore
tendering the warlike Beast a splendid ship
—without a bill of sale!
Pro-di-gious!— Combatiug the recent
blood-and-thunder speech of Beast Butler,
the New York Commercial Bulletin says:
“ As far as Canada is courerned, the pro
ject of forcible annexation fails to meet
popular approval, for the reason that to
force a nation of four millions of people
iuto the Union against their will is con
trary to our principles and unfavorable to
the perpetuity of our national integrity.”
“ Contrary to our principles” is immense.
What a jolly laugh the editor of the Bul
letin must have had over those four words !
The “ neighing of all Tattersalls ” ought to
be a gentle murmur compared to the roar
ing guffaw which a Northern editor could
evoke from innermost caverns of his throat
when writing that the “ forcing of four
millions of reluctant people is contrary to
Yankee principles!” Oh, the wag! the
wag!
A Man of his Word.— President-General
Grant promised in his inaugural that he
would have no policy to enforce against the
will of the people.
The people do not want U. 8. bayonets
at the polls, but Grant does. Grant’s
idea of the people is similar to Louis XlV’s
idea of the State— e'est moi !
“A fine looking woman, a hundred and
eighty-two pounder without chignon or
pani.-r, entered suit in Keokuk against her
weak, wizened face, purblind, four times
widowed, eighty pounder landlord, to re
cover damages for breach of promise, two
thousand dollars beiug the amount claimed.
She got ten dollars.”— Chicago Times.
Ever since the agitation of Woman’s
Rights, breeches of jyromise are what the
Puritan female soul has pined for.
Significant.— The Democrats only car
ried two Congressional Districts in New
Jersey In the last election, and the Radicals
three. It is significant that in the two
districts won by the Democrats, and where
the negro vote was heaviest, the Democratic
candidates came out flat-footed against
negro suffrage, and made their calling and
election sure by appeals to the white vote
of the districts. The negro vote proved, as
in Maryland, an element of weakness.
Bumnbr. —The Massachusetts eunuch, in
a recent lecture, virtually asserted that
he furnished Prince Gortschakoff with
brains.

government as a high-banded usurpation.

Great Premium Land Sale
OF
alua.ble Property.
In calling attention to the great Premium
Land Sale of the Derby Farm and other prop
erty, at Aiken, 8. C., we desire to direct special
attention to the fact that every purchaser of a
ticket procures a splendid Engraving or a
beautiful Cliromo, fully worth the price paid
for the ticket.
We have examined these pictures, and find
them really beautiful and va'uible works of
art. The large steel engravings, “ The Mar
riage of Pocahontas” and “The Landing of
Columbus,” and the beautiful chromo, “ An
Ameiican Autumn,” will be beautiful and at
tractive ornaments for any gentleman’s parlor,
and we advise all our readers who desire to
procure such pictures, to apply at once to the
general manager, Mr. J. C. Derby.
But the featnre of this enterprise, which
gives it peculiar value, is the distribution
among the licket holders of the valuable real
estate in Aiken known as the Derby Fruit
Farm. This is decidedly the most valuable
and attractive properly in the South. This
properly comprises about seven hundred acres
of desirable farming lands in and near the
village of Aiken, and is divided into ninety
four lots, villa sites and farms.
This is no bogus concern. Mr. J. C. Derby,
the general manager, Is well and favorably
known throughout the United Btates as an ex
perienced and successful book publisher in
New York. For more than two years be has
been a resident of Aiken, and for the past
twelve months has been at the herd of a large
publishing housg in this city. We have known
him long and well, and feel no hesitation in
saying that be would not be connected with
anv enterprise which was not entirely merito
rious, and we are quite confident that all who
purchase tickets in his great land sale will be
fully compensated lor the amount invested.
The drawing will be so arranged as to secure
the utmost fairness in the distribution of the
prizes, and each ticket holder mav rest assured
tbat his interests will be fully and fairly pro
tected. — Augusta Chronicle, Novembsr 2 Oth.
