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. Which is it—u or n ? [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. A New Orleans man has sued a street railroad company for SIOO,OOO for mashing off a leg.

BY TELEGRAPH. ■I >"■!■ •*— ' ' ~ [Special to tho Constitutionalist. 0 $ RIOT IN MASBNi# NEGRO MOBBED FOR VOTING THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. THE MILITARY CALLEJ) OUT. 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 persed the mob. Gangs of negro women 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 tliau once. No violence or iutimidation, and everything is progressing satisfacto rily. Rome, Decern tier 20.—Everything quiet. The Democrats are over two to one ahead. Seveu hundred and eleven votes cast. — Three negroes arrested for illegal voting. The Young Men’s Democratic Club have opened a distinct Democratic ballot box and keep a close tally of the election. This is done to prevent the possibility of fraud. Atlanta, December 20.—The election progressed quietly to-day. Four white Radicals and two negroes were arrested for illegal voting. Many negroes were brought to the city from Chattahoochee and other places. Columbus, December 20.—1,117 votes polled, a majority of whom are negroes.— The Democrats are ahead. Still quiet. Union Point, December 20.—The vote at Greensboro and White Plains will not be coanted nnlil Thursday. Montezuma, December 20.—450 votes polled. A majority supposed to be for Re publicans. Cuthbert, December 20.-1,110 votes cast. Nearly all who voted to-day are blacks, who are 70 ahead. Only a few whites voted. Fort Gaines, December 20.—Three hundred and elghty-flve votes polled Manage)* say the Radicals are ahead. Ex pect different work to-morrow. The negroes made their show to-day. Covington, December 20.—' The day pass ed off’ quietly, 841 votes polled. The re sult is not, known as the votes w.ll not be counted until the election is over. Fort Valley, December 20.—Six hundred and thirty-eight votes polled ; mostly all Republicans; very few whites voted to-day. ( As ociated Press Dispatches. NOON DISPATCHES. New Yohk, December 20.—The brake men’s strike on the Erie Road is virtually over. Freight is coming forward regu larly. Cincinnati, December 20.—The gas me ter exploded. The explosion was heard several miles. Eight immense columns supporting the gas holders were prostrated. Loss, SIOO,OOO. No lives lost. Sr. Louis, Decern her 20.—J. T. Jewett is appointed Drake’s successor. A foot of snow fell. London, December 20.—A Berlin special says the conference of representatives of neutral Powers have agreed to the follow ing peace basis: First,, acquiescence in the annexation of Luxemburg ; second, recog nition of the German Empire; third, in demnity from France to Germany of 1,200.- 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. Raleigh, December 20. —T0 day, at 11 o’clock, the Board of Managers appointed 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. *• By the confession of a dying negro, it has been ascertained that all barn burning and deoredations committed in this and adjoining counties for the past year was the result of a planned conspiracy on the part of negroes of the Union League. Forty names are in possession of the au thorities. Some arrests have been made and officers are iu hot pursuit of others. Richmond, Qeeember 20.—The steamer for New YoritHhis evening carried five prisoners for the Albany penitentiary, to serve terms varying between one and five years, for mail robbing, counterfeiting, and violating internal revenue laws. A shipment ot 3,000 barrels of flour was made from hererto dav for Rio Janeiro. Lexington, December 20 —Gov. Letcher is much better and out of danger. London, December 20.—Gen. Worder captured 6,000 French at Nuits, and pur sued them southwest. A French force of 10,000 strong yvas defeated Monday at Persiey and Fontenell. NIGHT DISPATCHES Philadelphia, December 20.—'The Fair for the benefit of the German wounded opened to-night, yrith great eclat. The election in the First State Senato rial District resulted in a majority of 1,343 for Dechert, Democrat. Iu October the Republicans had 1,000 majority. [Note. — It is understood this gives the Pennsylva nia Senate to the Democrats ] Erie, December 20.— The Railroad Con vention is sitting with closed doors. New York, .December 20.—Henry W. Gestou was sentenced to ten years for per jury in a fraudulent divorce case. Havana, Deefimrier 20.—German steam ers from and Havana, for Bremen, have JkrjaPlt- ' Exchange pu isyigland and the United States is declining rapidly. Speculators pay high prices for sugars. Old honses are inactive, with few exceptions. Deßodas sailed yesterday. Valmaseda has sent to the field 500 soldiers who have been doing duty in the city. Volunteers are guarding Moro Castle and Caflanas, relieving the regulars, who may now go to the fleld. Luxemburg, December 20— The King of Holland In a letter to the Government of Luxemburg says ; “ Lotus together defend the treaty of 1867, and the honor and inde pendence of the Duchy.” Stuttgardt, December 20.—The King of Wurtemburg, opening the Chambers, urges the Deputies to recognize in the Fed eral treaties lately concluded scope for the development of tae nation and her institu tions. London, December 20.—Gen. Gluemer was wounded iu the battle at Nuits. Berlin, December 20.—The Diet of Mecklenburg voted to pay the full amount for the abolition of Schlest dues. The King, replying to a delegation of the Richstag at Versailles, thanked them for voting supplies for the prosecution of the war, which secured national unity, and signified acceptance of the Emperorship. The Krenz Zeitung denies that Prussia has desigos upon Luxem! urg, but com plains of Luxemburg’s violation of neu trality. OPENED. SAMX A.
