Tri-Weekly Republican.
Americus, Georgia:
O. W. HANCOCK,
Editor and Proprietor.
SATURDAY, JULY 27, lie 7.
A Word to the Neeroes.
The Republican party, says the Montgom
ery Mail, which asks your votes at the com
ing election, has placed a tax of ‘2' a cents
per pouud upon cotton, or 121 dollars per
bale. Upon nearly all of the plantations you
W :1 1 own one third of the cotton which may
he made. Each of you will make upon an
average four bales of cotton, beside a con
siderable quantity of corn. Your interest
iD the cotton will be about 650 pounds of cot
ton apiece, which at 15 cents per pound will
bring you $97.50. But oat of that ?97.50
the Republican party which seeks your votes
and euticeß you into secret leagues, makes
you pay §16,25 leaving you only §81.25.
The Republican party thus takes from you
one-sixth of all you make. When you make
a dollar by hard work in the cotton field,
the party which is trying to lead you by the
uose, takes 17 cents out of it and lets you
have the balance. The Republican Conven
tion which met at the Cos pitol a few weeks ago
tried to make youbelieye that it was opposed
to the tax which the reat of the party had put
on you. Brtt very soon afterwards, Cen.
S-.vayiie removed liom office, a Northern
man at Dcniopolis, uho wrote a letter show
ing the injustice of that tax. He, himself,
at the capitol, professed that the tax was un
just, but when a subordinate officer raid the
same thing honest’y, he was iuimcdixiclv re
moved Irom office. This ought to prove to
you that the Republicans do not houestlv in
tend to remove the tax If you arc still in
dcubt, watch and see whether Congress,
which is now in session, will do anything to
wards relieving you of the tax! They have
been in session two weeks, have talked about
reconstruction, the assassination, the forfeit
ure of railroad lands,the condition of Mex
ico, and Maryland, and many other subjects,
but not one word about their desire to re
move the cotton tax and let us get full value
for what we make by hard labor. They do
not intend to say or do anything about it.—
They will let corn, maple sugar, potatoes,
Onions, wheat, lumber and everything made
at the North go without tax, hut when it
comes to tobacco, cotton and sugar, made
by the negroes, they put on the heaviest tax
that was ever placed upon agricultural pro
ducts by any people. They talk to you very
smoothly but they act. towards you with "Teat
injustisce. Mark our word! The Congress
can now remove the cotton tax and place, sixteen
dollars and a half in the pockets of every negro
laborer, by the first of January next, and the
Republican party will not pel mil Congress to
do so.
Cbowns. —We hear, says the New York
Express, that some of our most prominent
jewelers have received orders to make a
magnificent crown for one ot the monarchs
ol the .South, 't he sceptre lie forwarded
e-onetime since. The gala carriages for State
c.-ic.eo' ies and the liveries of the outride:a
will soon be ordered, as also the uniforms of
the body guards, which his Majesty intends
shall rival in splendor those with which effete
Sovereign of the Old World clothe their at
tendants. We regret to add that with these
insignia of Royal State, anew arid very sharp
guillotine has been ordered, and that from
all appearances it w ill be much in demand at
the South, where the poor whites are to be
disposed of at the shortest notice.
Mr. Davis at Montreal. —A large and
fashionable audience was present at thoTha

night, to witness the representation of “The
Rival,” for the benefit ol the Southern Re

and between the first and second acts he
was recognized by the audience, who arose
and cheered him loudly. Subsequently the
orchestra played Dixie, and on the termina

The Cuban Telegraph.— lntelligence
has been received in New York, that every
thing is ready at Havana for the Florida
cable. The telegraphic station is finished,
operators are appointed, the side posts put,
and the wires are being pieced tor the air
line from the landing place to the palace.—
The tariff of charges bag been published. It
is a provisional one, however, and it is to be
hoped, says the correspondent, that the plan
of counting all letters or messages and divi
ding the total number by five, to compute
the number of words to charge by, will be
altered.

Repudiatim— Startling Intelligence-
The following piece of startling intelligence
appeared in the Washington City Xabioaal
Intelligencer of die 20tli inst.:
The House of Representatives Ims boldly
and unblushingly begun the repudiation of
die national dubt. Never again let the Rad
icals liowl about tlio “sacred character” of
the debt incurred to preserve the integrity of
the Union 1 They have given the first blow,
and liavo said to the world, “We will not pay
our national debt.”
The Court of Claims was established to give
the people who have had transactions with
the government some little chance lor relief
from the caprice aud tyranny of officials.—
The act of March 12, 1862, makes especial
provision for Uuion men whose property was
captured during the war to prosecute their
claims in this court, and fixes the manner of
payment, During die war, and since, it has
be u a common practice for officers in the
military and civil service to refer pafies for
redress to the Court of Claims. Now that
they have gone there, and a few of them have
obtained judgments, alter all the appliances
of the executive branch of the government
to prevent it, and it has been judicially an
nouuoed that the government is indebted to
these parties a certain amount, die Radical
Congress steps forward and resolves to repu
diate the debt.
France and England have provided similar
tribunals, before whom the people may pre
sent their claims against their respective
Govornmenis, and we have yet to hear of the
first case of the repudiation of their judg
ments.
How is this? Are the people to have no
redress from official caprice from any quar
ter? Are the people to lie left to the mercy
of every upstart official who may choose to
give the most distorted construction to the
law or demand tribute from the claimant?
Are tire people to bo left to choose between
arrogant officials and the giving way of more
than half their just claims to the lobbyists
who surround members of Congress?
A large amount of cotton and other prop
erty belonging, in many instances, to loV at*
people, was seized during the war, aud the
proceeds placed in the Trtasifry ol the Uni
ted .states. The claimants were remitted to
the Court of Claims to establish their loyalty
aud their right to the “ uett proceeds.” No
matter what damage the parties may have
sustained or how exorbitant the charges ah
lowed to officials, nothing but the “'net pro
Coeds” ccml tbe recovered. The cunt, after
a most patient hearing ond thorough investi
gation at the late ses-ion, gave judgment for
about. Slfil ,420 10 in all. In Some other cases
where officials arbitrarily repudiated the
contracts made in good faith for arms aud
material to carry on the war, and the con
tracts were fully carried out by the contract
ors, judgments were rendered in accordance
with the contracts.
Ail these are debts which the United Stales
owe to individuals, of just as sacred a chars
aeter as the bonds which have .been issued.
And now, it Congress repudiates Ihe-e debts,
why should any one be stopped from advis
ing the repudiation of the bonds issued by
the Government ? All of them are n part of
the “national debt,” aud, in good fuirii, the
Government is equally bound for them all.
Let it be known that the Fortieth (Radical)
Congress is the first to taka a position practi
cally in favor of repudiating the national
debt.
The Atlanta Intelligencer, commenting on
the above says : In all the wide circle of our
acquaintance, extending as it dees from the
seaboard to the mountains of our State, and
from the Savannah to the Chattnbocliee, we
know of but few men who havo presented
cotton or other claims, against the Govern
ment at Washington on the ground of being
Union men Ju'-ing the war, that are entitled
on that ground to receive them. Most of the
claims ba.-cd upon that assumption that have
come within our observation, are baseless it
by “ Union men” those arc meant who were
total to the Union at the inception of ond
during the war- Wo have now “in our
mind’s eye’ as it were, not more than two of
these claimants in our Mate who were loyal,
and maintained their loyalty to the United
Mates Government from the beginning to the
end of the war, and these arc undoubtedly
tnthicdjp recover their claims as established
before the court which adjudicated them. On
the other hand we know cf many, some of
them residents of this city, who, if they were
loyal in the true sen.siwif the word to the
United states Governmmi! during the wav,
neither their conversation nor their acts in
dicated it, aud we have wandered at their
effrontcry_iu asserting themselves in the sol
emn form they have done to be loyal men,
and entitled to restitution for either property
destroyed cr property seized during the war
by the Federal army. For such we have no
sympathy. In most cases they became ela.
tant Union, or loyal men, after the fall of
the Confederate Mates, out of which, traitors
as they were to boffi sections, some of them
amassed large fortunes and are now rolling,
if not rioting, in their wealth. It is not on
ly our privilege hut our i>urr to make this
reference,’ and to caution the Government
against all such. As for the Radical Coti
gress, and its repudiating programme, vve
expect no better from it. betting aside arid
violating the Constitution as it has done,
wtiat cares it for the just claims of an indi
vidual? Denying, as it has, justice to mil-
lions of people, what cares it for the claims
of a few upon its cense of right ? Every po
litical step forward whicdi it takes is the as
sertion of powers not conferred upon it by the
Constitution, aud why should it hesitate to
repudiate the just claim of »u individual, or
the debt of the nation? But enough of the
Radical Congress and its repudiating procli
vities I L»t it go on with its work ;we have
patiently witnessed its beginning, and shall
patiently bear with It till its end shall come-
The agony through which not only the South
but. the whole country is passing, must havo
its limit, or history will fail in one instauee,
at least, “to repeat itself.”

A Plucky Court. —Two citizens of
Galena. Illinois, were arrested during
the war for treasonable utterance, and
confined in Fort Lafayette by milita
ry authority. They have sued the
United States Marshal for damages to
the amount of one hundred thousand
dollars for false imprisonment, and

“One More Unkobtcn vrr.” —The

feel very thankful that the rebellion
had been crushed, and the North take

Troublesome Visitors. — Most

Gerkit Smith’s Views. —This

issued a circular in which he contro

Chase upon questions of constitutional

prosecuted under authority of the
constitution of the United States,
and claiming on the contrary, that it
was carried on by Congress in accord
ance with the law s ol' war, and that
the vanquished party is not in any
sense legally chargeable with treason.
He regards the selection of leaders for
punishment under the charge of trea
son as “ better suited to feudal times
than to our own, and to a despot-ruled
cot:ntry than to our own.” Ho says
that il’our revolutionary lathers had
failed, and Washington and Franklin
been hung for treason at the close of
the civil war, the oppinion of the
Chief Justice would cover aud justify
the'heaven-appaliing deed. Mr. Smith
bases his argument not only on the
plea of justice, but fears that presist
encein the rigorous policy marked out
by Chief Justice Chase, will entail the
dissolution of the republican part y.

District, South Georgia Conference, Metho
dist Church, South. 1 will do so.
Delegates, Clerical, Ex-Officio aud Lay
appointees met according to previous public
notice, at the Methodist Church,.in this
place, at 9A. M„ July 25th. The Intro
ductory Sermon had h-pp preached the even
ing previous, by R, v. Dr. F. II Myers, Tvl
itor of the Southern Christian Advocate.—
His subject \vas“Kxperimental Religion”—
a great theme—and a sermon worthy of it.
The meeting was organized by Rev. C. Jt.
Jewett, Presiding K'der, and the opolling re
ligious exercises were led by Rev. Jas. Dun.-
woody, a venerable superannuated minister
of the Georgia Conference—over 50 years
in the ministry.
Asbury A. Adams, a delegate from the
Church at your place, was elected Secreta
ry and Treasurer of the Conference. The
Rev. Bishop, George F. Pi rce, having now
arrrived, Jie took the presidency of meeting.
After making a list of the eleven appoint
ments if the District—and their Delegates
in attendance, amounting to some sixty in
number, a call was ordered of the several
stations or dreuits, tuid delegates invited to
speak ns to the various interests of their
churches, their spiritual condition, as to
grade of piety, class meeting. Church meet
ing, prayer meetings, Sunday Schools, Fi
nances, religious condition of the colored
population; Ac.
The day was mostly spent in this call, and
the universal sentiment seems to he—noth

Maxmiliau-The Embalming ofiiis
Eoify—More Blood, More Blood !
The Saltillo correspondent of the
Hanchevo gives the following .
Upon the death of Maximilian ImU
known in Queretaro and San lans,
many htdies ohanged their attire into
mourning. The body: of the Emperor j
was (Embalmed,ar.d taken charge of by j
the Baron do Magness, Prussian Min-1

the families of the unfortunate Mira-1
mon and Mejia one hundred thousand i
dollars each. All the official accounts j
published here, in regard to the trial !
Maximilian and his officers, goes to
to prove that lie was not tried but!
murdered. After the mureder of t’olo-j
nel Maximo Campos, the shootinw of
the brave Mend'/, the late shooting of
Mximiliau, Miramon and Mejia,
they speak of the great magnanimity
of the Government of Juarez, which!
has now in reserve at Queretaro, i
forty-nine prisoners, among whom are •
some of the most capable and honesti
civil military officers of the country,
'these forty nine men will ho given a
sham trial, and shot by twos and
threes, to quench the bloody thirst of;
the Juarez Government. Mexico is
taken, and still the President will not i
go to the city until ho gets through I
with his wholesale massacre of intelli- j
gcnce and courage.
Countries for Sale-
The Princes of Europe, all of w hom arc

a means to raise'money. In examining their
revenues, they find sortie piecesof land which
Rlicy can do without, in case a reasonable

cess of the Emperor of Russia in disposing
advantageously of Russian America, has
brought out a number of other propositions.
The King of Holland bad set nearly the
whole of Europe on fire by proposing to
France the sate of Luxemburg, in order, it
stated in seine European papers, to obtain
some money lor himself aud for a certain la
dy in Paris', who had forriier'y been on very
intimate terms with him. Being frustrated
in this design by the vigilance and the de
fiant attitude of Prussia, the King now in
tends to put-up some of the American oolo
nies of Holland at auction.
11 he Sultan of Turkey, finding tint money
euouuli in the treasury to pay 'tor his trip to
the Exhibition, lias offered to Russia the
sale of Jerusalem for twenty million piastres.
In Germany the Prince of Waldeck finds
that the establishment, of the North Ger
man Confederation will cost his little
country more than it can affi-.-d to pay,
and he consequently has made the offer
to Prussia to buy from him the whole Prin
cipality . Should his proposition be accept
ed, it i3 believed balf-a-duzen more of the lit
tle members of the Codfederution will hasten
to make the same proposition.
Sweden is stated to be anxious to sell the
Island of St. B.irtbolemy, in the West In
dies. Thus a real mania for making money
by selling laud seem to spread among the
princes. But thus far there aro more selleis
than buyers.— N. Y. Tribune.

Thad. Stevens Insists Upon Being
Buried With Negroes.
The Eprcts has discovered another
of those remarkable acts which it pre
dicts will add the lustre ol immortal
renow to the name of T.haddeus
Stevens. It admits that he never made
many “special professionss of piety;”
hut it might have gone further and
have said, with truth, that he has
hreu all his life a scoffer at religion
and are viler of sacred things. Still
the h'l'pr cv.'.'i thinks the old sinner will
he saved, because, to use his own lan
guage :
“Helms always recognized what
all Christians admit in the abstract
to be a fundamental principle of Chris
tianity, that “God is no respecter of
persons hut in every nation lie tint
fohreth him, and worketh righteous
ness, is accepted with him that ‘lm
has made of one blood all the nations
of men to dwell on the face of the
earth,” and‘the rich and poor meet
together, and The Lord is the maker
of them all.” ”
Nobody doubts that Thaddeus
Stevens has always been in favor of
i.ogr.p equality, and here, his domestic
arrangements are so well known, his
practical recognition of big pet theory
is perfectly well understood.
Hut -Mr. Stevens has given another
exemplification of the faith that is in
him. The H.q?ress\ thus sets it forth
as demanding the admiration of
the world :
Several yeais ago, when the Lan
caster Cemetery was incorporated,
Mr. Stevens purchased two lots, for
•which a deed was duly executed.
Some years latter, in looking over
his papers, he noticed for the first
time, the clause prohibiting the inter
ment of colored people in the cemete
ry. lie at once reconvcyed the lots
to the company, with his reasons,
and asked that they he put upon the
record. A short time ago fie purchas
ed a couple of,lots in Woodward Hill
Cemetery, and when the deeds were
handed to him lie noticed a similar
clause, excluding the burial of people
of color. The brave old man declares
that he could not consent to have his
hones laid in a cemetery where any of
Cod's children were excluded for no
fault of their own, and he promptly
returned the deeds. He then, only a
few days ago, selected a Jot in “Shrek
ner’s Cemetery, where no such dis
iiiicti TTvide among the.dead, and

la.. . on the g .at work
. onstructing the • a: ion, o.i an en
uring basis of liberty and equal
rights, which be has so consistently
labored for, triumphantly eonsuma
ted.
There are lew men, indeed, who
haw given to the world such open
and notorious evidences ofabeilefin
negro equality as Thaddeus Stevens
has done. A personage not of his
race, a female of dusky hue, daily
walks the streets of Lancaster when
Mr. Stevens is at home. She has pre
sided over his hoitse for years. Even
byhis own party friends, she is spo
ken of as Mrs. Stevens, though we
fancy no rights of mother church ever
gave her a claim to the title.
It is natural for men to desire to
sleep their last sleep with those they
have loved in life. Itl Thaddeus St<■-
uens insists Upon being buried
side by side with the woman he has
supposed to have taken to his bosom,
it is entirely a matter of taste. But,
why did he not purchase a lot in the
African burying ground at once? —
There no white man's bones would
have jostled his, and she, who has
so long been his most intimate associ
ate, might have been gathered to his
side without exciting public scandal,'

17tli, says :
Certain information lias leaked out
here, which, if true, gives anew and
startling explanation of the sudden
and wide-spread movement to avenge
the death of Maximilian. A state
ment was made to-day, by a person
who has been iif tinted into the inner
circle of the present so-called fillibux
toring enterprise, that the real object
of this organization is to inaugurate
another attempt to gain the independ
ence of the Southern States. It is
said that the enrolling volunteers,
which was for a time a. spontaneous
movement in different parts of the
country, with lire real intention of
going into Mexico and joining with
someone of the factions opposed to
the Juarez government, partly to
advance their own interests, is now
rapidly assuming the form of a well
regulated organization, under the
management of cunning politicians
and experienced sold ers. Men are!
to be initiated and enrolled, subject ]
to the arbitary discretion of military!
discipline'and arc to preserve strict j
secrecy with regard to the movements i
of the organization as well as those !
who are members ofit. Arms amniu- 1
nition, and other supplies are to be
accumulated at designated points,
and everything is to he in readiness
to take advantage of the opportune
moment. Os the time when operations
are to be commenced there is nothing
definite decided upon. Two particu
lar contingencies have been mention
tioned, either of which arising would
betaken as a fitting opportunity to
strike the first blow. One is in the I
impeachment of the President ami
his resistance t.o removal from office.
iln such a contingency the leader of
1 the “ Maximilian avengers” will it is
: said, concentrate their forces, which,
it is expected, will in a few months
number a hundred thousand, and
bung them to the support of the
I residential party. The other event
; which it is thought would afford a
i convenient opening to invade Mexico
with a ministering force, and thus
j precipitate a war between the United
States and that country, in which
case the organization of “Avengers”
will at once take sides with the Mex
ican Government against the L T nited
(States. It is also stated that the or
ganization is receiving accessions in
the late insurrectionary States with
astonishing rapididy, principally from
those men who fought in the late re
bellion, and are disfranchised there
for. '

The Escape of Duncan. —The ru
mor which we noticed in our Evening
edition of Thursday last, regarding
the cscapi of James W. Duncan, from
Fort Pulaski, has proved to be a fact.
He succeeded in his design by eluding
the vigilance of the guard, and subse
quently obtained a small boat l’royi
under the hospital walls, made good
escape at the early hour of two o’clock
in the morning, to a vessel laying in
the Tybeej Hoads, which sailed the
same morning for a foreign port. The
senrgr an t* of the guard was placed un
der arrest as soon as it was discover
ed that the prisoner had got off.—•

Goon Old Times.—Miles O’Rieley,
In his organ, the New York Citszen ,
thus expresses his opinion of the “ lat
ter-day saints'’ of Radicalism:
“ But in the meantime, let Mr.
Weed continue his gossipy recollec
tions, recalling the golden age in
which our whole country was not ‘ a
nest of hissing vipers and that Au
gustan era in which Webster, Cal
honun, flay. Adams, and their assooi
att s trod the itige and occupied t’ o
seats, now only shrinkingly half-filled
by such leprechauns, or seven months’
children, as Stevens, Ashley, Wade,
Kelly, Chandler, and the rest of that
disastrous canaille.”
