MORE ABOUT THE BAYONETS.
A few days ago, we had occasion to
speak of the mission of Senator Simon
Cameron to Georgia and the purpose of
his pilgrimage. He returned to Washing
ton and reported that bayonets were need
ed in this State in order to make sure of
a Radical success on the 20th of this
month, in case Akerman’s little bill failed
to “fix” things. We took occasion to
show, at the same time, that President-
General Grant’s soldiery do not always
perform the part expected of them. Wit
ness their utter incompetence In North
Carolina, New York, Alabama and most
notably in Maryland. The difficulty seems
to be in finding officers and men of the
regular army sufficiently debauched to
carry elections after the manner of the
Man of Sedan when he was the Emperor
of the French and the great arch-hum
bug of universal suffrage, so-called. We
are not least surprised to learn that
,the securing the proper
tools a into seeming Radical
k affiliation by “ crooked bits of steel” iq
now agitating the brains of Grant and
Bollock. The noted Washington corre
spondent of the Baltimore Gazette throws
mueh light on this dark subject. We quote
from his correspondence, under date of the
28th nit.:
“The principal want of Bullock and his
friends Is a strong military force, com-Hand
ed by suitable officers ; and in accomplishing
this lies the difficulty. General Halleck,
who commands the Military Department in
which Georgia is situated, is known to
place but little confidence in the Radical
statements in regard to Ku Kiux outrages,
etc., in that State, and so advised the
General of the Army some tinge ago. He is,
therefore, not the man they want to direct
the operations of the military during the
several days of the election.
“ It is known that in Alabama the mili
tary, by protecting every man in the exer
cise of his rights, secured the triumph of
the Democratic party, and these men bare
facedly say they do not want the military
used for any such purpose la Georgia ; for
if there is anything approximating to a fair
election the opposition to Radical corrup
tion and carpet-bagism will carry the State
by an overwhelming majority. Hence the
anxiety of Bullock, Blodgett, and their
partners, to have the matter fixed up, and
to have the military ordered to Georgia to
‘ enforce the laws of Congress,’ placed under
the command of some officer who is a member
of the. Union League , and who will carry out
the Administration programme in regard to
the election. How the difficulty will be
overcome it is hard to foresee; but there is
little doubt that the President will do
everything possible to retain his friend Bul
lock in power in the old Empire State of
the South. However, with all this against
them, the Conservative people of the State
expect to carry the election.”
AU of this goes to show what we have
constantly in-isted upon, viz: that a su
preme effort of civic fraud and military
violence, emanating from Washington and
Atlanta, would be made to coerce Georgia,
per fas et nefas, into an apparent Radical
position. Vast indeed must be that vil
lainy which can consummate so unuatural
an alliance. Vast indeed is the villainy
already in progress from every Radical
quarter. The New York Express, mindful
of the past, refers to the plot against this
State, which is destined, we fear, to suffer
somewhat for the Recalcitrant attitude of
other States in which the military arm
proved either delinquent or inoperative—
for the want of “ suitable ” tools. The Ex
press says:
“ Georgia, we are sorry to see, is, by the
President and his advisers, wholly given
over to despotism, just as the New York
city and North Carolina State elections
were given over to the military, and in
California as far back as ’64, when Gen.
McDowell was the master there, though
Gen. Wright was commander of the Pacific
coast. What was then done in San Fran
cisco has since been done elsewhere. While
the Republican politicians and the military
managed to divert public attention, the
Republican managers of the San Francisco
election contrived to stuff 5,000 more votes
into the ballot-box than belonged to that city , or
had ever polled before, and won the city by
about 4,000 majority. The Democrats, after
that section, felt certain that on a fair vote
San Francisco was Democratic, and so it
proved in subsequent city elections, when
General McDowell’s military machinery
was removed. The Radicals are now about
to try the San Francisco game in Georgia.”
Forewarned is forearmed. We should,
first of all, understand that the President-
General and his desperate co-eonspirators
will send hither the worst of their mercena
ries—very “ suitable ” tools of the Radical
usurpation, if such can be had. But it is,
in the second place, no less the duty of all
Georgians to be the more determined to
baffle these plots by all lawful means.—
They need not be in the least scared at the
irruption of the military. The use of the
army in elections is not near so popular as
it used to be. Nay, it has grown into a
detestation which becomes eloquent and
menacing on the part of the people, and
also on the part of men in high and low
stations who live by the sword and rifle.—
We ha ve already published Gen. Halleck’s
protest. We ry^ f repeat a significant
growl coming from no less a dignitary than
Geu. Sherman. He says:
“The duties of the soldiery in this con
nection arc not prescribed so clearly by
statute that the officers can understand
their rights and duties,and the civil agents
and authorities often expect more than can
be rightly or lawfully done. 1 think the
soldiers ought not to be expected to make
individual "arrests, or to do any act of vio
lence, except in their organized capacity as
a posse, comilatus , duly summoned by the
United States Marshal, and acting in his
personal presence. Yet, if it is deemed
lawful and proper that the soldiers should
do more than this, I concur with Gen. Hal
leck that Congress should so enact in clear
and distinct terms.”
That is something. Surely not the lan
guage of a patriot or a Republican soldier;
but it is something coming from such a
source. Times have changed sinee 1864,
and Halleck, who, when we last saw him,
was superintending the imprisonment of
Jefferson Davis at Fortress Monroe, has
changed with those times as well as Sher
man. They now begin to feel the ineffable
meanness of such employment as the Rad
ical leaders in Congress and the lobby
thereof would exact. Appreciating this
dirty business, in a measure, they are bold
enough or honest enough to writhe under
it. Nay, while the people thunder out
against it, they really muster up suffi
cient courage to whisper sullenly in
the ears of Grant that he is but
man, and that ihey are not now eqnal
to the emergency of dragooning the up
risen masses of white freemen of Amer
ica, for the sake of a knot of negro-wor
phipping revolutionists.
Let us prepare for coercion in Georgia.
The best way to defeat it is for every man
who loves his dear State to work. from
this day forth for her redemption. A
steady, earnest, peaceful, harmonious and
undaunted effort will save Georgia and
cover her enemies with confuaion.
Senators from Georgia. —Under the
caption of “ A Full Senate at Last," the
New York Times thus moralizes:
“ When the Senate meets, the new Sena
tor from Minnesota, in place of Senator
Norton, deceased, Mr. Windom, will be
present. This, with the two Senators from
Georgia, Messrs. Farrow and Whitely,
whose credentials were presented, but who
were not sworn In at the last session, will
make a full Senate, for the first time since
1861.”
The New York Express comments upon
this as follows:
“ Messrs. Farrow and Whitely have no
mere right to these seats than any other
Georgians. The places belong to Homer
V. M. Miller, whose term expires in 1871,
and Joshua Hill, whose teira expires in
1873—both having been duly elected by the
constituted authorities. The Senate may
reject them, as it did Mr. Stockton, of
New Jersey; but all such acts are revolu
tionary and lawless, even though the Sen
ate has the right to be the judge of its own
elections.”
You are both wrong. Alexander H.
Stephens and Herschbl V. Johnson are
the rightful Senators from Georgia.
Letter from Athens—-University of
Georgia.
Athens, November 30,1870.
In accordance with the new programme
adopted by the Board of Trustees of the
University of Georgia, at their session in
August, the Sophomore prize declamation
hkus had to-day. The speakers, fifteen in
HlGHiber, were selected from a class of near
fifty, by a committee composed of Maior
Lamar Cobb, Gen. Wm. M. Browne and Dr.
H. H. Carlton. For high average excel
lence, for distinct and elegant articulation,
for full sympathy with the sentiment of the
pieces, for graceful management of their per
sons, and especially for aviding the faults of
young speakers, this exhibition was quite
remarkable. The name of the contestants
are:
E. L. Antony, Texas; C- M. Beckwito,
Virginia; W. G. Bibb, Alabama; C.
W. Clayton, Augusta ; J. S. Davis, Al
hany; .T. E Hartridge, Florida; S. H.
Jester, Fort Gaines; W. A. Jester, Fort
Gaines ; J. D. Laing, Dawson ; W. B. La
mar, Florida; W. W. Lampkin, Athens;
J C. Linder, Hartwell; C ; A.Niles.Grifflo ;
W. T. Trippe, Forsyth; J. A. Williams,
Americus.
The name of the successful speaker will
be announced to-morrow, I learn ; but the
medal will not be delivered until next
August.
The term just closing reflects great credit
upon the Chancellor and the able corps of
professors. The progress in study and the
attention to duty was never more satisfac
tory. The students in attendance number
about 220. The Law School has two
classes of very promising young men. The
Engineering School never had as many in
attendance as now ; and such is the repu
tation which this school, under Capt. Char
bonier, has acquired, that applications, in
advance of graduation, are made for its
students. The class in Telegraphy, under
M'\ Rusk, is in full operation. All the
Engineer students are mastering this art
as a prospective interest in connection
with their profession. The Modern Lan
guage Department, nnder Prof. Smead, has
had about 70 students, who have mad*
great advancement. /
Prof. Hunter, of the High School, having
accepted a professorship in the OglethiSrpe
University at Atlanta, that branch of our
University is without a President. Appli
cations for that position will be yet re
ceived. lam not informed of the time the
election will take place, but presume it will
he duly announced. The delightful loca
tion of the sehool, free rent, the support
and co-operation of the Faculty of the
University, and the many other advantages
of the position, will doubtless attract many
applicants, and enable the Prudential Com
mittee to make a satisfactory selection.

LATEST EXPERIENCE OF THE BARDIC REAR
—THE SNOW BROTHERS NO WHERE. k]
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
A close observation upon the condition
of the country, during my recent visit to
the “Federal Capital” and the Northern
States, lias forced upon ray mind the con
viction that the mission of the Republican
party has ended. The accomplishment of
all its good offices devolves upon thestates
men of the country the duty of determining
the policy of the Government for the future.
Stupendous issues are noio rising up, having
no necessary connection with the measures
of the late civil war, or of reconstruction
consequent upon it; demanding the closest
investigation ami wisest solution by the
popular mind. Many of those have assum
ed such shape as to make it clearly mani
fest that the future welfare of the country
will be best secured by the complete
triumph of the declared principles of the
Democratic party, as now set forth by such
leaders as Governor John T. Hoffman,
and illustrated by his recent triumphant
election.
Acting with the Republican party in
support of the measures for the restoration
of the States of the South to their proper
relations to the“ Federal Government,” we
have but discharged a solemn duty to the
people for which have not a single regret
to express.
Now that reconstruction has been fully
accomplished, the same high regard for
the welfare and peace of the whole coun
try, which has always controlled my po
litical course, impels me to declare my
unqualified sympathy with and adhesion
to the National Democratic party.
With this well-considered determination,
we place at our mast-head the name of
John T. Hoffman, of New York, for the
Presidency in 1872.
This determination has been arrived at
without consultation with Gov. Hoffman
or his friends, and without regard to per
sonal consequences.
On the same ground we also hoist the
name of John B. Gordon, for the office of
Governor of the State of Georgia in 1872.
The policy of The True Georgian toward
the dangerous State administration will
continue as heretofore—one of firm and
vigorous opposition.

A Political Revolution.— lt is stated
that a great political, if not social, revo
lution has just taken place in Manchester,
Englani. The election of members of the
School Board for the city created great ex
citement on account of a sharp contest be
tween the “Secularists,” who desired to
exclude all religious education from the
public schools, and the “ Non-Secularists,”
who opposed it. The straggle was also
enlivened by the entrance of two Roman
Catholics and a woman into the lists.—
The Roman Catholics are not only elected,
but head the poll, while Miss Lydia Beck
er, who occupies very much the same po
sition there as Mrs. Stanton here, received
15,249 votes out of 26,513, and was, of
course, elected. The “Secularists” re
ceived the smallest number of votes of any
of the successful candidates, and only
three of them were elected. Six of the
successful candidates belong to the Church
of England. Manchester thus tolerates re
ligious liberty, grants equal political
rights to women, and insists upon re
ligious education in the public schools.
It does not appear exactly in what that
religious education consists. This election
is the more Important, as it reflects the
views of many, if not most, of the large
English manufacturing cities.

American fishermen cannot plead igno
rance of our regulations, from the fact that
their own Government, at the commence
ment of the season, warned them of the ex
istence of these regulations, and of the con

disregarded. If a reckless schooner or two
from New England chooses to infringe
upon our domain, we cannot, on that ac
count, set about tinkering old treatie* or
patching up new ones.”

Valiiab|e Rroperty.
I.N calling attention to the great Premium
f.und Sale ot the Derby Farm und other prop
ertj’, at Aiken, S. 0., 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, aud finj
them really beautiful and valuable woiks of
art. The large steel engravings, “ The Mar
riage of Pocahontas” and "The Landing of
Columbus,” and the beautiful ohromo, “An
American Autumn,” will be beautiful aud at
tractive ornaments for any gentleman’s parlor,
and we advise all our readers who desire to
procure, such pictures, lo apply at once to the
general manager, Mr. J. C. Derby.
But the feature of this enterprise, which
gives it peculiar value, is the distribution
among the ticket holders of the valuable real
estate in Aiken known as the Derby Fruit
Farm. This is deeidedly the most valuable
and attractive proper y in the South. This
property comprises about seven hundred acres
of desirable farming lands in and near the
village of Aiken, and is divided into ninety
lour 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 Stales ms an 11-
perieneed and successful book publisher iu
New York. For m .re than two a ears he lias
been a resident of Aiken, and for the past
twelve mouilis has been at the head of it large
publishing house in tliis city. We have known
him long and well, and fe.l no hesitation in
saying that he would not be connected with
anv enterprise which was not entirely merito
rious, and we are quite confident that all who
purchase tickels in his great land sale will he
fully compensated for the amonnt invested.
The di awing will be so arranged as to secure
the utmost fairness in the distribution of the
prizes, and each ticket holder may rest assured
that his interests will be lnlly and fairly pro
tected. —Auffuata Chronicle, November 20th.
