TO OUR FRIENDS.
Wc earnestly request our friends through
out this district to send ns prompt and re
liable returns of the election and such
items of news appertaining to the same as
may prove of public interest.
A STRANGE COMPANIONSHIP.
A few days ago, we had occasion to
eatirize Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, for his
unfortunate amnesty substitute to But
ler’s bill. Incidentally, too, we rebuked
the shocking drivel with which be excused
himself for not being near so charitable and
magnanimous as Gen. Farnsworth, a Re
publican member. At the same time, we
implored him to make no more speeches
which taught the Radicals how to “ stop
losing State alter State.” The Philadelphia
Press, (Radical) alludes to the subject In
this fashion:
« General Farnsworth, of Illinois, a Re
publican Representative, who did so mucli
to help the Democrats of Georgia to break
down Gov. Bullock, now proposes to let in
the whole ruck and raff of rebels excepted
by the Fourteenth Amendment of the Na
tional Constitution. The brave General is
consistent, and we do not wonder that the
rebel leader, Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, grace
fully yielded him the palm of superior
statesmanship. Mr. Beck had an amend
ment proposing to except the authors of
the rebellion, but Gen. Farnsworth, the
liberal soul, proposed to let them all in .
Considering the jubilee over the Illustrious
Lee in the Senate the day before, ami the
proposed removal of the remains of the
sacred dead at Arlington, Gen. Farnsworth
ought to have a medal for generosity to the
enemies of his country.”
If that was intended to be very cutting,
from a Radical standpoint,, to Gen. Farns
worth, how vitriolic, from a Democratic
one. must it be to poor Mr. Beck, of Ken
tncky ? It. is a hard thought for Southern
men that Republicans like Farnsworth
show more of true statecraft than Demo
crats like Mr. Beck. If Gen. Farnsworth
is entitled to a medal for generosity, what
is Mr. Beck entitled to? Ah, the poor
War Democrats! their dilemma is a very
sore one. They know that their conduct,
during the “late unpleasantness,” was a
horrible blunder, but they have not the
grit and conscience, as a general thing, to
come out and make a clean breast of their
folly. Gen. Frank Blatr Is ft conspicu
ous exception. He will probably be hon
ored by a Senatorshlp from Missouri.
dare say Mr. McCreery, who Is also in
he Blair category, will be soaring in
statesmanship and its rewards when Mr.
Beck shall haire quietly subsided Into the
obscurity of his law office.
In this connection, how very pertinent
are these words, which come to us in the
way of a letter, from one of the mo9t bril
liant and steadfast men in America, now
resident at New York, but well known to
the readers of this paper and the people
of Augusta. Onr friend thus writes:
“ I am horribly hampered by this North
“cm Democracy. The people are, to a
“ considerable extent, sound, but the lead
“ ers. are worse than Radicals. Still, Ido
“ what, I can, putting in my poor word for
“ the Constitution of our Fathers, as time
“ serves. I see that it will yet triumph,
“ because it only in politics is true.”
Ay, it is not the fault of the People that
Democracy lags in its triumph ; but the
fault of the so-called Leaders who lack
all the elements of sublime, patriotic, unsel
fish and undaunted statesmanship. When
Republican Farnsworth can so completely
take the wind out of the sails of Democrat
ic Beck, what wonder that the true-hearted,
invincible Democratic masses complain
that their numbers and their valor are put
to such clumsy uses by men who happen
to be in command? The day of triumph
will come and the man of men will come to
organize victory and reap its fruits. But
not in the ranks of trimming War Democra
cy will the conquering hero uprise.
AN OUTRAGE.
At the first blush, It would appear from
the following paragraphs that the enlight
ened Missouri Republican had made a mis
take as to the complexion of “ Hon.” C. C.
Bowen, member of Congress, so called,
from South Carolina. But the observant
reader, penetrating the thin crust of sar
casm, will perceive that there is no mis
take at all:
“ Here it is again. Another loyal man
who traces his lineage back through a long
line of illustrious ancestors to one of the
first, families of Africa, has been made the
victim of persecution. Hon. C. C. Bowen
(colored), member of Congress elect from
South Carolina, has been indicted by the
District of Columbia grand jury for bigamy.
It was not enough to make and prove a
charge of corruption against that other
colored South Carolina patriot and member
of Congress, Whlttemore, a|t the last ses
sion ; it was not enough to rhake and prove
charges of cadetship frauds against several
other Radical Congressmen of good stand
ing and loyal reputation; it was not enough
to have up Hon. R. R. Butler before the
United States District Court in Tennessee
on a charge of pension frauds; b«t this long
series of high-handed Kul Klnx persecutions
of loyal men in the South must now be
aggravated beyond endurapee by indicting
a South Carolina negro Radical member of
Congress for a penitentiary crime, and that,
too, right under the shadow of the Capitol
where the Fifteenth Amendment and the
enforcement bill were enacted.”
“ Hon. C. 0. Bowen is the offspring of
reconstruction, and the grand offspring of
a Radical Congress; and that Congress
owes It to the settlement of the issues of
the late war to do something In the matter.
Wo don’t know exactly what should be
done, and it may be that Congress ftself
will be a little bothered by the case ; but it
is clear that something ought to be done,
or else, at the way things are going, there
won’t be enough urmidtcted truly loyal men
in the House to pass the appropriation
bills.”
We should like to see the man who pro
posed to subscribe for a Radical paper be
cause it was a trlflq cheaper than the Demo
cratic paper he had been reading, at work
on the above keen bit of irony from the
Missouri Republican. What a ginger-bread
rabbit-expression would his face assume
when C, C. Bowen is put down as a col
ored ” man ! And yet, this dolt, who can
not understand how Bowen is a mongrel,
would, for a few cents of difference, ex
change an oracle of his own race for the
“ worst representation of unalloyed nig
gerism on the face of the earth.”
v sjLJlJbi $i
has this pnngent editorial:
“Attorney General Akerman having been
largely instrumental in framing the scheme
by which it is expected that Georgia will
bekept tff the Radicals, it
is now very naturally announced that he
will be a candidate for the Senatorshlp
from that Btate. Having given satisfac
tory proof of his thorongh Radicalism, he
looks for his reward, and if it be within ttie
power of the Administration to help so
serviceable a tool, that help he will certain
ly get. Brigadier General Adelbert Ames,
for dragooning Mississippi into the Radi*
cal camp, was honored, a short time since,
with the Senatorship of that State as the
successor of Mr. Revels —colored—whose
seat will not need purifying for the Dew in
cumbent. The fine example set by General
Ames has evidently not been lost on Mr.
Akerman. Both have zeatonsly exerted
themselves to stifle a free expression of the
popular will, and both are choice types of
those modern pests of the South—the alien
military despot, and the native scalawag.”
All correct, except the “ native scala
wag "as applied to Mr. Akerman. He is
a sort of a Yankee scalawag. He has been
a resident of Georgia lor a number of years,
but out of the loins of the Puritans did
Amos Tapp an come.
Rather Taut. —The New York Herald
never was very cordial to negro suffrage,
office-holding, etc. Here is its latest squib
against the “ mau and brother:”
“ An independent colored party has been
organized iu Cincinnati. The colored peo
ple are bound to adopt all fancy political
notions; but as regards an independent
political colored party, Sambo is independ
ent enough already, and has been so ever
since the adoption of the Fifteenth Amend
ment.”
Not by a jug full in the South. His
only independence, in the main, consists in
being the slave, the utter abject slave, of
the meanest white men extant, native and
imported. But he will get tired of this
thing after a while, and perhaps the antici
pation of anew colored party has caused
some of the recent somersaulting among
so-called great men.
Butler’s Amnesty.— The main object of
Butler’s so called amnesty turns out to be
a scheme to prevent the parties robbed by
him from recovering damages iu the courts.
The thief thinks every bush an officer and
Butler will desecrate even the sacred name
of peace in order to save his plunder.
Dumb —Senators Johnston and Lewis,
of: Virginia, heard the Radical tirade
against Gen. Lee, and sat dumb as oysters.
O, superhuman courage or cowardice of
“Conservative” functionaries under the
new regime !
WniCH Is It? —The Herald calls the,
new Commander of the Army of the Loire
CnauzY. The World insists on Chanzy.

[Special Coirespondeuce of Baltimore Gazette.
From Washington.
SPEECH OF CARL BCHURZ—HIB OPINION OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THE THIRD
PARTY MOVEMENT—ITS OBJECT—LOOSE
PRINCIPLES OF THE RADICALS THE
MANOEUVRES TO HEAD OFF GEN. GRANT.
Washington, December 16,1870.
My intelligent informant, it will be per
ceived, did not lead me astray, two or three
days ago, in respect to the pith of Mr.
Sehurz’s then forthcoming speech, and his
purpose in delivering it at this particular
time. It is now before the public, and, if
anything could convince the doubling
Thomases of the utter folly and impolicy
of relying upon leading Radical politicians,
for aid to the Democratic-Conservative party,
one would suppose that this speech might
suffice. In alluding to a charge of his
“colleague,” Judge Drake, he flung back
with scorn the imputation that he enter
taiued the most distant idea of any affilia
tion with that organlzition. No! the prin
ciples of the Republican party were still his
principles! Here is what Mr. Schurz thinks
of us:
“The Democratic party and presses
claim that it is for civil service reform.—
Tills was news to him. He thought they
were the authors of the maxim that to the
victors belong the spoils, and their efforts
were now only to get possession of the of
fices. There was more discipline in the Demo
cratic party than there was in the Republican
parly, by reason, no doubt, of the character of
its rank and file.”
Mr. Schurz, to be sure, speaks of a third
party—but what sort of a “ third ” party ?
Allow a short quotation to come in here
to show that by this phrase he means none
other than the Radical organization. Pre
mising, upon utterly gratuitous grounds,
that “ the Democratic party was gradually ap
proximating nearer to the principles of the
Republican party,” he proceeds:
“ He repeated it, then, that anew party
would be formed. The day may be distant,
or it may come in a night. Will the Repub
lican party then become extinct f This he did
not think necessary. He believed the Republi
can party may become this new parly.”
“ For” (he continues):
“ The Republican party may then become
the party of the future, as of the past. He
believed that the Republican party con
tained more of intelligence, more of in
tegrity than the Democratic party, and that
any new party must draw its best material
from it.”
Aud this is the beautiful progr mme
which is offered the Conservatives in ex
change for the abandonment of their prin
ciples and men. It may or may not be that
Mr Schurz is sincere in his desire of
emancipating the whites of this country
from all “ disqualifications” and “disa
bilities,” and putting them upon a par
with the negroes; bat this is a point he
knows well ebough is suffered to be a de
batable one Inside of theßidical organiza
tion—and well it may. Quite a number of
Radicals, in both branches of Congress,
profess to be of the Senator’s sentiments in
this respect. But all these men voluntarily
tied their own hands when votiug for the
Fonrteenth Amendment, and know that
all their ranting now is of no possible
avail. They BiiU justify their voles by
claiming that then the ostracism of the
South was a State necessity (which, in the
ordinary sense of the term, is a downright
lie), but that, when such necessity shall
cease, “general amnesty” should be pro
claimed! Was there ever such mockery?
The logic of the thing is, plainly, that if
gver there was a “ necessity” for political
proscription, that “ necessity” amounting
to no more nor less than the exigencies of
the Radical party, the same “necessity”
still exists with a “ smart ” intensification.
I could, if I iudalged in speculation in
stead of facts susceptible of proof In court,
make plain all about the purposes of this
“ third party ” movement, with all its sur
roundings. But being, as it were, obliged
tp state nothing but what conld be easily
e sWorn to, I confine myself to the purposes
of those who have seized upon this busi
ness of “amnesty” to subsene (heir oum
private ends in their own party. See ! Mr.
Schurz was left on the Senate comittees at
the instance of such men as Sumner and
Wilson, the inveterate enemies of every
man born in the South, and the persistent
toes of every measure of conciliation!
He is (so he says) for the removal of all
“ disqualifications," and the return of fra
ternal love and national amity. What con
stitutes the ligament that.binds these ap
parent irreconcilables? It Is simply a
common design to upset Grant in 1872.
What has the Democracy to do with these
manoeuvres aiS<f counter manasovres of the
rotten Radical faction? It must keep
aloof—awl thereby secure its own “ rank
and file." . X.

Macon, December 20.—A negro, who had
voted the Democratic ticket at the election
here to-day, was set on by a mob of negro
Radicals, and would have been murdered
had it not been for the police and a few
young men of the city. In protecting him
from the mob. it became necessary to use
fire-arms, and one of the. would-be mur
derers was shot and severely wounded.
The military were then called ont and dis

surrounded the polls all day, using the
most violent language and inciting the men
to mob every negro who voted the Dem
ocratic ticket.
Savannah, December 20.—The election
is remarkably quiet and orderly. Not a
single disturbance to-day. Bradley is get
ting a large portion of the negro vote at
the regular polling place at the court
house. The Radicals have opened a ballot
box in the eastern portion of the city,
where negroes vote early and often. A
written protest has been made against the
legality of this proceeding on the part of
Bullock’s managers. Several negroes were
arrested this morning for voting more

000,000 franca, and racing two lot tresses
on the Germau frontier, and the cession of
a portion of Alsace.
Later advices from Paris say there has
been no fighting around the city since the
Ist of December.
Prince William of Baden was wounded
in the capture of Nuits.
John Bright lias resigned the Presidency
of the Board of Trade.
The Telegraph has a special from Brus
sels, saying the late heavy calls for land
welir denote weakuess in the besieging
forces, and its operations are more defen
sive than offensive. One or two sorties
like that of last night and the siege of
Paris will be raised.
A dispatch from Frankfort says a month
will be required before bombardment is
possible. The German guns before Paris
are worthless for such a purpose, while
Versailles itself is nearly within range of
the French guns.
Bordeaux, December 19. —The Govern
ment has announced that the enemy dis
continued the advance upon Havre. The
Prussians, 21,000 strong, with eleven bat
teries, attacked Nuits and captured it after
five hours’ fighting and heavy loss. It is
expected the battle will be resumed to day.
The Prussians attacked Gen. Chauzy but
were easily repulsed. The enemy falls back
as Bourbaki advances. The French reoc
enpied Vierzon.
Paris official advices of the 17th have
been received. The city is calm and the
people confident. There Is food for a long
time. The army and people are eager for a
fight. The Government had dispatches
from Gambetta to the 12th.
Berlin, December 20.—The Cross Ga
zette reiterates that the difficulties in trans
porting material and heavy guns will soon
be overcome, and that further action re
garding bombardment will be guided alto
gether by military considerations.
Washington, December 20.—1n the
House, personal explanations.
In the Senate, the Finance Committee re
ported in favor of five hundred million ad
ditional five per cent, bonds and adversely
to the proposition making the issne of gold
note banks receivable for customs.
EVENING DISPATCHES.
December 20.— The Com
merce Committee of the House heard argu
ments in favor of a European line oi steam
ers.
The President nominated Parnell as
Marshal of the Western District ot Texas.
There was no executive session of the Sen
ate to-day.
In the House, after unimportant business,
amnesty was resumed.
Degener, of Texas, spoke in favor of gen
eral amnesty, but it had been buried last
week under the Arlington cemetery. Him
self and colleagues, therefore, had con
cluded that the interest of the National Re
publican party required them to vote flr9t
for Bingham’s amendment, and that fail
ing, for Beck’s.
Manning favored general amnesty.
Bingham said the question touched the
honor, and in some sense the prosperity of
the American people. His first vote would
be upon his amendment, which excluded
only officers of the United States in 1860
aud 1861, and those who since the first of
Jane last had held office to which they
were ineligible. He should vote against
Farnsworth’s bill for general amnesty; the
country was not prepared to take that step.
Bingham’s bill only excepted some two
hundred. Those relieved could not by any
possibility harm the Republic. There were
about twenty thousand among those suffer
ing disabilities who were about as gnilty
of the blood of their country as members of
this House. It his own amendment was re
jected he would vote for Beck’s, but under
no circumstances for the bill as reported
« favored universal amnesty. He
believed that Breckinridge might safely be
allowed to defend the principles of seces
sion in the Senate.
Sheldon, of Louisiana, spoke in favor of
universal amnesty, and remarked that his
State; which had 25.000 Republican ma
jority, had abrogated every vestige of disa
bility by a vote of 103,000 in the affirma
tive to less than 1,000 in the negative. Be
lieving with the people of his State, he was
in favor of universal amnesty, and he
warned hi 9 political friends that the time
was coming when every one of them would
take the same position.
Connor, of Texas, spoke in favor of uni
versal amnesty. He denounced corrupt
Southern governments, especially that of
Texas.
Hamilton, of Florid a r protested solemnly
ag&inst|jtolversal amnesty.
Butler moved the previous question upon
pending amendments.
Bingham asked Butler to keeD faith with
H«thtfilpbuse.
The previous question was seconded by
96 to 84, when Butler yielded to a motion
to adjourn.
Botler’ijjrogramme appears to be to have
the amendments defeated, then to have the
bill recommitted, which will defeat amnesty
of any this session.
The vote on the amendments occurs to
morrow.
In the -Senate, a struggle occurred be
tween thejfiriends in charge of the sugar
tariff and San Domingo.
Sheri nail favored the sugar bill, saying it
is only toqpar an ambiguity and ought to
pass. pi
Ed mu tide asked for the reading of the
San Domingo resolutions. He saw no ob
jection to them, as they only called for in
formation. !He was opposed to the acqui
sition of San Domingo, and probably
should remaiu so, but would be glad to get
information which the resolutions would
elicit.. p
Sumner and Morton came into sharp col
lision and business was much clogged by
the struggle for precedence of various bills,
in which the Senators seemed to have a
personal interest.
A motion to refer sugar to the Finance
Committee was lost.
San Domingo was resumed and discussed
to adjournment.
New Yoke, December 20.—A World's
special says a London correspondent from
Versailles writes that the bombardment of
that place is hourly expected.
Brussels," December 20.—The Govern
ment declines to publish Bismarck’s note
or reply thereto until the reply reaches
King William.

by the House-to conduct the im peach ment
of Governor Holden, attended by the
Speaker and the House of Representatives,
proceeded to- the bar of the Senate, and
formally submitted the atricles of impeach
ment. After the conclusion of the cere
monies, the Lieutenant Governor vacated
his seat as {"resident of the Senate, and
shortly afterward took charge of the Ex
ecutive office. Governor Holden made no
opposition to surrendering the office. The
Court of Impeachment will convene as
soon as Chief Justice Pearson can arrive
in the city. *•
