THE NEUIIO IN GEORGIA.
What Thi State llun Hone nnd Ih Doing
For Him—A Statement From Seuntor Sim
mono.
I Nuw York Worlti. J
Wo are enabled by the courtesy of
Colouel Snead, of this city, to publish
the foil iwing interesting letter on the
negro in Georgia and his treatment by
the whites. The writer, Col. Simmons,
is a g utlemau of the highest character,
long a State Senator, and for two years
past President of the Senate of the
State of Georgia :
Colonel T. L. Snead :
Dear Sir —Your letter of the 17th in
stant has been received. Yon ask me to
give you “some facts showing what
Georgia has done and is doing for the
negro in the matter of education, in se
curing their political rights and fairness
in the Courts, etc.” To gratify you I
will endeavor to give you brief answers
to your questions, not that I believe it
will do any good if it were known to the
people of the North. Nothing that a
Southern man eau say about the negro
will, in my opiniou, be believed at the
North.
At the close of the war, the white
people of the South were the poorest
people, for a civilized people, on the
face of the earth. The negroes, of
course, literally had nothing. For sev
eral years after their freedom a large
majority of them wero like children
just from school. They thought noth
ing of to-morrow. To attend a political
meeting aud joiu in the prooession that
marched through the streeti was their
greatest delight. All sorts of rumors
were circulated among them by design
ing men, and were implicitly believed
by a large number of them. That they
would get “ forty acres and a mule,”
was firmly believed bv them for several
years. At one time I was at my farm
thirty miles distant from Macon. The
“news” came to them that the Queen
had sent over a ship-load of gold for
them, and all who were in Maoon by a
certain day would get a cupful of gold.
The next morning there waß not a ne
gro on the place—all had gone, leaving
the crop in which they were interested
to take care of itself. I mention these
facts to show you how improvident they
were aud how easily deluded. Foj the
laat few years they have learned “better
sense,” as they express it. They are
now in a much more prosperous condi
tion; not so easily led astray. They
investigate more thau they ever did,
learning to have confidence in them
selves and in their former owners.—
They work cheerfully and well. They
hegi'n to aoenmnlate property, which
makes them conservative in their views.
The Comptroller-General's report for
the year 1875 shows that they owned
396,058 acres of land valued at $1,263,-
902; that they owned town and city
property valued at 51,203,202 ; money
And solvent debts, $102,194, and other
property aggregating $5,393,885. This
property has been accumulated within
Jthe last five years
By the act of February 24, 1873, of
the Legislature of Georgia, the negro is
fully protected iu his labor. That act
gives his a ‘‘lien on the property of his
employer superior to all other liens,”
and provides a summary way of enforc
ing his lien. All he has to do is tog.,
before a magistrate aud make oath t<>
the amount and the faot of his lieu, aud
execution issues at onoe. The lieu for
labor is superior to the homestead lien
of the wife and children of the e uploy
er. In the matter of education the re
port of the State School Commissioner
for last year shows that the number of
children in the pub ic schools last year
was 142,728 Of these 98,750 were
whites and 43.978 were colored. The
cost per mouth per pupil was $1 73.
Our Constitution provides that each
male c.tiseu shall pay auuually $1 as a
poll tax, and this tax shall go to sustain
the public schools. In 1875 the negroes
returned 80.959 polls, and onght to
have paid into the School FuuJ that
many dollars. But about two-thirds of ,
them failed to pay, although the money
was to educate their own children. Of
course, the balance of the School Fund
not raised by the poll tax must be rais
ed from taxation on property.. In addi
tion to the amount appropriated by the
State for public schools, a great many
counties have local laws for their public
•ekools, and are allowed to levy an ad
ditional tax to carry them on. Under
these laws this county (Bibb) has for
the last few years levied $25,000 a turn
aliy for the support of tbepublicschools.
The negroes of the ooquiy do not pay
more than $2,000 of this amount, aud
yet they are allowed to chare equally
with the whites in its benefits. It is
the same in other counties. The Legis
lature appropriates annually SB,OOO to
the State University at Athens. It ap
propriates the same amount annually to
the colored University at Atlanta, where
doctrines abhorrent to every white man
in the State are daily taught.
In regard to their getting jnstice in
our Court*. I have this to say< I am free
to admit that for a few years after the
war it was easier to convict a negro be
fore a jury than it was a white man. I
aay to yoa now, truthfully, that in my
practice, extending to a good mauy
counties' in Middle Georgia, I see no dif
ference. The passions and prejudices
oi race have died ont in Georgia. There
is no conflict or antagonism between ns.
We live peaceably together, and we are
in a fair way to solve the great problem
if let alone. Yon may remember that
during last year there was considerable
excitement in the whole country in re
gard to a reported insurrection in Wash-
ington and adjoining counties. The
people in that section of the State
were greatly excited and incensed
over the threats of some disreputable
negroes of killing the men and
taking their wives and daughters
for their own purposes. Governor
Smith ordered out the militia of the
county and took command of them in
person. He made a speech, and advised
against any act of violence or lawless
ness. His advice was taken by the peo
ple; the leaders of the reported insurrec
tion were arrested. Judge Herschel V.
Johnson, who ran for Vice-President
with Douglas, called a special term of
his Court for the purpose of trying the
prisoners. He gave to the grand jury a
charge which was universally commend
ed at the time by the press North and
-ionth for its clearness, its wisdom, its
moderation and justice. He appointed
the leading lawyers of the circuit to de
fend the negroes, and out of thirty who
were put upon trial, my recollection is
that all were acquitted but one. This
is not an isolated case. I see negroes
acquitted at every Court I attend. The
benefit of the doubt is always given to
them by the Court and jury.
In a great many connties in Georgia
negroes serve on the jury. Our Consti
tution provides that none but “upright
and intelligent" citizens shall serve upon
juries. To carry this provision into ef
fect the lav prescribes that the ordinary,
the clerk and sheriff together, with three
citizens appointed by the Judge of the
Superior Conrt, shall take the tax lists and
select therefrom the names of “upright
and intelligent citizens” to serve as ju
rors. Before entering on this duty they
are required to take an oath that they
will exclude no one on account of race,
color or previous condition of servitude
Under this rule the names of a good
many negroes have been put in the jury
box of this county. Some are exclud
ed, and a good many white men are al
so excluded nnder the rule. I do not
remember a Court in this county for the
last five years in which negroes have not
served on the grand and traverse juries.
I remember a year or two ago that I
tried a will case, and that the jury was
composed entirely of negroes.
In regard to our elections, they have
been peaceable and quiet. In one or
two instances in the State four or five
years ago there were difficulties at the
polls. But since that time there has
been no difficulty, nor do I think there
will ever be again. The only difficulty
I now apprehend is one between the ne
groes themselves —the Radical negroes
are very abusive and violent toward the
Democratic negroes. They threaten the
Democratic negroes with all sorts of
violence; tefuse to allow them to attend
their chnrches or Sunday schools, and
urge their wives to quit them. This was
much more common four years ago than
it is now. I apprehend no trouble at
oar next election.
These are some of the facts in answer
to you. They are facts, and nothing
else. I could write you much more, but
think the above enough.
Yours truly, T. J. Simmons.
Macon, Ga,, August 25.
THE LINCOLN DK.IIOtiUCV’.
Meeting oi the County Convention—Dr. John
Li. Wilkes Nominated Tor the Legislature.
To-day, September 5, 1876, a large
and very numerous Convention assem
bled in the Superior Court Hall, atLin
colnton, numbering about 330 persons,
from all parts of the county. And at
half-past eleven o’clock, a. m., Captain
James N. Mercier, Secretary of our
Democratic Executive Committee, as
cended the Chair as temporary Chair
man, Colonel’ Cleb E. Ramsay, the
Chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee, being indisposed.
On motion of Thomas H. Remson, C.
R. Strother,|Esq.,was nominated As per
manent President of the Convention.
On motion of J. E. Strother, Thomas B.
Hollinshead was nominated as the Sec
retary of the Convention. And on mo
tion of Mr. Remson, Captain Mercier
am] J- E. Strother were added as addi
tional Secretares. All these motions were
put and carried by the Convention.
C. R. Strother, on taking his seat,
thanked the Convention for the honor
conferred. And in a short but animat
ed address reviewed the political atti
tudes of the Democracy, aud congratu
lated the Democracy of the county on
the so numerous and intelligent a sem
bly of its masses. Spoke of it as a har
binger of great unity of action, and as a
full determination of the party in Lin
coln county to m irch in solid phalaux
to the restitution of the country. And
in conclusion, announced the Conven
tion organized and ready for business.
Then Thos. H. Remson presented a
set of resolutions, in substauce as fol
lows;
That the election be by ballot, with
a registration of the voters and number
ing of the ballots ; that the majori y
rule be adopted ; that each candidate in
nomination shall be voted for as many
us three times, unless said candidate
sees proper to withdraw his name, and
after three separate ballots the hinder
most candidate on each ballot had then
shall retire until an election is had. A
few remarks were made on these resolu
tions by Dr. N. R. Fleming in support
of the same, who was followed by J. E.
Strother, who also supported the same,
iu which bo assumed the position that
so far as he-kuew or could learn the two
thirds rule had not been used in any
Convention iu Georgia since the war.
Then Wm. C. Ward, Esq., presented
another set of resolutions, ia substance
as follows: That whereas the Demo
cratic party of the county have in con
vention assembled for the purpose of
harmonizing any discordant elements
that have or do now exist in the party,
to the end that the party may be held
intact for the benefit of the State and
nation, and while reform is now the
watchword of the Democratic party, it
being necessary as a Amedy for the
evils of Radical rule, and applies not to
party organizations; and as we be
lieve the success of the party is our
only hope, we should be careful not to
depart from the usages of the party
when victory pearched upon its banners;
we can adhere to those usages, and still
make the reform so much needed in the
Government by showing our faith by
our works. Therefore be it
Resolved, We pledge ourselves to
abide the decision of this Convention.
2. That we adopt and adhere to the
two-thirds rule. 3. That our delegate,
whoever he may be, is hereby instructed
to labor for a Constitutional Con
vention to change the organic laws
of <he State. 4. We do not approve of
tho present system of farming out con
victs; that a separation of the races
should be made, &c. 5. That our dele
gate should be instructed to earnestly
labor to reduce the expenses of the gov
ernment; that a bill be offered by him
to place the per diem pay of members
of the Legislature to $5, and to en
deavor to curtail the length of the next
session of the Legislature to twenty (20)
days, and that we all work earnestly for
the success of both the State and Na
tional Democratic tickets.
Tbps. H. Remson, Esq., accepted this
set of resolutions by Mr. Ward, as
amendatory of his, except as to the two
thirds rule clause. And the President
put the two-thirds rule clause of Mr.
Ward’s resolutions before the Conven
tion, and it was almost unanimously
lost.
Then both Mr. Remson’s and Mr.
Ward’s sets of resolutions being in har
mony, the two-thirds- clause of Mr.
Ward being lost, were put and, I believe,
were unanimously Carried by the Con
vention.
At this time J. E. Strother, in behalf
of the Democratic Executive
offered some resolutions aud opinions of
the said eonjmittee, which it is not ne
cessary to state the content? of, and
they were received by the Convention
and laid on the table for the present.
’Mr. Thos. H. Remson moved that
three tellers (W. F. Strother, C. E.
Ramsay Jand F. M. Wright) be nomi
nated to conduct the voting, assisted by
the three clerks, J. E. Strother, Captain
James N. Mercier and Thos. B. Hollins
head. Then neßt came the announce
ments of candidates for nomination,
i whioh were as follows: Henry J. Lang,
.Esq , by Thos. H. Remson; Dr. John L.
Wilkes, by J. N. Mercier; Dr. B F.
I Bently, by J. M. Cartledge ; Dr. John
; Sims, by Hon. N. A. Crawford.
I Then the balloting began. But did
; not proceed far before the polls were so
' crowded and the managers of the elec
tion so suffocated that it was suggested
and moved by sonje one that there be
two places of voting arranged. So W. F.
Strother aud F. M. Wright were retain
ed at the first poll as tellers; and J. E
Strother with B. S. Wright and another
appointed clerk were also placed at the
, first polL While the second polls were
composed of C. E Ramsay, t .ken from
the first poll, and Thomas B. Hollins
head also taken from the first polls as
tellers, and they were assisted by Wm.
F. Elam, Jr., and Dennis Bentley, all
folly and duly appointed by the Chair.
On the taking of the first ballot, Mr.
Remsen withdrew the name of H. J
Lang, Esq.,' and the vote stood as fol
lows: Lang, 32; Wilkes, 97; Bentlev,
89; and Sims, 112. Ido not remember
the particulars of the second ballot. On
the third bailot the vote stood as fol
lows! Wilkes, 110; Bentley, lus, and
Sims, 108. On the fourth ballot (Bent
ley having been dropped) Wilkes re
ceived 178 and Sims 142 votes. The
President promptly announced that Dr.
John L. Wilkes was finly nominated.
Thomas H. Remsen then moved that
Dr. John L. Wilkes be unanimously
nominated, which waadone.
Oa motion, J. E. Strother, Henry J.
Lang and Thomas H. Remsen were ap
piouted by the President to inform Dr.
Wilkes of his nomination aud ask his
acceptance of the candidacy, and to
conduct him to the stand for that pur
pose.
On reaching the stand Dr. Wilkes
thanked the Convention for the honor
conferred; spoke eloquently of the polit
ical situation; was in favor of a Constitu
tional Convention and retrenchment; he
said he would do all he could for a
railroad through Lincoln; said she
needed one badly. His address was
handsomely received by the whole Con
vention.
On motion made, the Convention re
quested the Secretaries to make out a
report of this meeting, forward it to
both the Chronicle and Sentinel and
the McDuffie Journal, with the request
of the Convention that it be published
in the weekly issue of each paper.
C. R. Strother, President.
James N. Mercier,
J. E. Strother,
Thos. B. Hollinshead, Secretaries.

Committee. Col. A. S. Morgan, Presi
dent of the Democratic Club, called the
meeting to order, stated its object, and
then announcing that the mention of his
name in connection with some matters
which would come before the Conven
tion would make him prefer to yield the

moved that the Convention take a recess

ed with these proceedings:
Warrenton, September Ist, 1867.
To A N. Morgan, Esq , President War
ren County Democratic Club :
Dear Sir— Official engagements else
where will prevent me from being pres
ent at your county meeting on Tuesday
next. I beg that you will communicate
this to the party. I feel profoundly
gratified to my feilow-eitizens, and fel
low Democrats, for the generous ex
pression of confidence in the late meet
ing, in which the delegates were re
quested to vote for me for Congress. In
a residence of more than thirty yearn in
this county, nothing has occurred which
has been bo gratifying to me as this
mark of confidence. For reasons satis
factory to myself, aud which would
doubtless satisfy them, I have felt
obliged to decline the use of my name.
The action of the party is no less grati
ing to me. With best wishes for the
harmony and success of the party in the
coming election, and for the prosperity
of the good old county, whose citizens
we are, I am, very truly yours,
E. H. Pottle.
Mr. Whitehead offered the followin g
resolution, wftich was adopted :
Whereas, We recognize the principle
that “all good government derives its
just powers from the consent of the
governed,” and whereas the Constitution
of 1868, framed in iniquity, adopted by
fraud, and enforced for the last eight
years to the detriment of the State, can
in no sense be said to be the Constitu
tion of the peple of t Georgia; there
fore be it resolved by the Democratic
party of Warren county in mass meeting
assembled, that we instruct our Repre
sentative to-day nominated,|if elected,
to use his utmost endeavor to induce
the passage of an act by the next Legis
lature calling at an early day a Con
stitution Convention of the people of
Georgia.
Mr. Whitehead also offered the follow
ing resolutions, which passed unani
mously :
Resolved, That the Democracy of
Warreu instruct her representatives to
do all in their power to defeat the pay
ment of the fraudulent bonds' issued by
the previous Legislature of this State;
this Democracy recognizing the same to
be null aud void.
Nominations being announced iu or
der, the names of Messrs. A. S Morgan,
J. S. Johnson and Dr. W. H. Pilcher

Morgan, 70; W. H. Pilcher, 106; J. S.
Johnson, 88; R. T. Barksdale, 6; M. R.
Hall, 2; whole vote polled, 262; neces
sary to a choice, 132. No one having a
majority of the votes polled, the Chair
announced iu nomination. *
At this juncture Hon. I. N. Pool
arose aud said he would withdraw the
name of Colonel Johnson, and that his
strength would go to Dr. Pilcher.
The second ballot resultel as follows:
W. H. Pilcher, 177; A. S. Morgan, 100;
R. T. Barksdale, 1; Jesse Reese, 5; to
tal vote, 283; necessary to a choice, 142.
Dr. Pilcher having received a clear ma
jority of the votes polled, was declared

it was made unanimous.
It is proper to state that the names of
Messrs. Barksdale, Hall and Reese were
not before the Convention.
Mr. Dußose then offered the following
resolution: Resolved, That the whole
Democratic strength of this county is
umanimously pledged to Dr. W. H.
Pilcher, the nominee of this Convention
for the House of Representatives.

pointment of a committee to notify

motion prevailed. The Chair appointed
as said committee C. E. McGregor, J.
a. Johnson and C. S. Dußose. It was

The theory that lack of vigor is the
underlying cause of disease is receiving
daily confirmation of the most positive
kind in the cure of dyspepsia, liver dis

complaints by Hostetter’s Stomach Bit

tributable to weakness. This superb
tonic is never employed withont the
most beneficial effects. The liver, the
bowels, the organs of urination, nd in
deed the entire system acquires both
vigor and regularity through Reaction,
since it gives a healthful impetus to
every failing function. It is an incom
parable specific for chills and fever, and
other maladies of a malarial type, pre
vents their attacks, is a reliable means
of counteracting the effects of undue ex
posure or fatigue, and soothes as well as
strengthens the nervous organism.

VECETINE
STRIKES at the root of disease by purifying
the blood, restoring the liver aud kidueys
to healthy action, iuvigoratiug the nervous
system.
VEGETINE
Is not a vile, nauseous compound, which sim
ply purges the bowels, bu a safe, pleasant
remedy, which is sure to purify the blood aud
thereby restore the health.
YEGETINE
Is now prescribed in cases of Scrofula and
o her di-eases of the blood, by many of the
best physician*, owing to its great suocess iu
curing all diseases of this nature.
VEGETINE
Does not deceive invalids into false hopes by
purging and creating a fictitious appetitbut
assists nature in c earing and purifying the
whole system, tearing the patient gradually to
perfect health.
YEGETINE
Was looked upon ss an experiment for some
time by soma of-our best physicians, but those
most incredulous in regard to its merit are now
its most ardent friends and supporters.
VEGETINE
Instead of being a puffed-up medic ne has
worked its way up to its present astonishing
success by aotuat merit in cur.ng all diseases
of the blood, of whatever nature.
VEGETINE,
Says a Boston physician, “has no equal as a
blood purifier. Hearing of its many wonder
ful cures, after all other remedies had failed.
I visited the laboratory and convinced m.vseif
of its genuine merit. It is prepared from
barks, roots and herbs, each of which is highly
effective, aud they are compounded in such a
manner as to produce astonishing results.”
VEGETINE
Is acknowledged and recommended by physi
cians and apothecaries to be the best purifier
and cleanser of the blood yet discov:red, and
thousands speak iu its praise who have been re
stored to health.

Mr. H. R. Stevens:
Dear Sir—About one year since I found my
self in a feeble condition from general debili
ty. VEGETINE was strongly recommended to
me by a friend who had been much benefited
by its use. I procured the ariicle and, after
using several bottles, was restored to health
aud discontinued its use. I feel quite confi
dent that there is no medicine superior to it
for those complaints for wiiich it is especially
prepared, aud would cheerfully recommend it
to those who feel that they need something to
restore them to perfect health. Respectfully
yours, U. L. PETTINGILL.

Weekly Review of Augusta Market.
Augusta. Ga., Fbidat Afternoon, i
September 8, 1876. )
General Remarks.
With the approach of the bnsy season, trade
is beginning to look np. Wholesale merchants
are doiDg a fair business and expect better
things in a short time. The necessaries of
life, meat and breadstnffs, are down to ante
bettum prices, and the tendency is by no means
upward. With ihe immense grain crop in the
West, and the excellent yield in the South, the
prebabihty is that corn. * heat and oats will
not go above the present prices for some time
to come. With com at sixty-five cents aud
bacon at ten and a half, the price of living is
sensibly reduced, and the planting community
in this section can see light ahead.
The receipts of new cotton have been rapid
ly increasing since the opening of the cotton
year, and exceed the sales daily. There seems
to be a fair prospect that the receipts of
1876=-’77 at Augusta will exceed those of
1875-’76. Our cotton factors offer every fa ili
ty to planters for the storage and sale of the
great staple.
Securities generally are at a stand, and quo
tations. as a rule, remaiu unchanged. Georgia
Railroad stock ii firm and in demand at an ad
vancing tendency, but there ia very little In
quiry for other stocks or bonds. We are quo
ting Geo: gia Railroad stock to-day at 75.
Money is not as plentiful as people desire,
but, as the staple commodities are cheaper,
not as much of it is required to keep body aud
soul together.
Altogether the general outlook is considera
bly more encouragi g than it was a feu weeks
ago.

Lands Unsurpassed For
FRUITS aid FARMING.
Omtoe South Florida Land Agenot, )
Fort Mason, Orange County, Florida, f
THE undersigned have entered into a busi
ness arrangement for the purpose of lo
cating settlers on the public lands (either
United States or State) in this and adjoining
counties.
Located in the most delightful portions of
, Orange county, in a section of territory con
ceded by all to be the best adapted to the cul
ture of the orange and kindred fruits, and
thoroughly acquainted with all the land-in this
vioimty, we are better able to give information
concerning the lands still vacant than any
others engaged in the land business in thia
county.
The railroad now in course of construction
connecting the St. John's river at Lake George
with Lakes Harris, Eustis, Gv fliu, Dora and
the other headwater lakes of the Oelawaha
river, will furnish all the surrounding lands
with ample transportation facilities and place
settlers within easy distance of the Northern
and Eastern markets.
THE CLIMATIC ADVANTAGES
Of this section of territory are so well known
as toaroely to need recapitulation. Vegetables
and tropical fruits can b* grown throughout
the year without danger from cold. 9bo
severest frosts of this Jake region do not in
jure vegetation, as was proven during the past
Winter, when the frosts killed early vegetables
at considerable distances south of ns and left
this region untouched—not a Wade of grass
being injured.
HOMESTEADS NEAR THE RAILROAD.
We are now prepared to locate settlers on the
public lends iu close proximity to the raiir ad
One of the undersigned (Mr John S. Banks)
j J UH * completed a thorough aur* ey of &
large tiact of United States lands, situated at
from three to six miles distance from the ril
road. These lands are not only admirably
adapted to tbe culture of oranges, but are also
exoellent for farming purposes, and can be
eabily brought into cultivation, the old settlers
in the vicinity raising an abundant supply of
corn, cotton, sugar, etc., upon them.
GET A HOMESTEAD NOW.
Parties who propose set’ling in Florida will
find it greatly to their advantage to obtain
their homesteads during the Summer months,
and thus avoid tbe ru.h of the Fall months.
Those desiring to locate umur the railroad will
obtain
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES FREE
If their entry la made before the completion of
tht road. After its completion, which will be
sometime this coming Fall, they will not be per
mitted to enter more than eighty acres. Persons
locating during the Summer can also get their
lands in read,ness for a crop of early vege
tables next Winter, and thus be enabled to re
alize a profit from the lands immediately. We
are new
PREPARED TO LOCATE SETTLERS,
Singly or in colonies, at moderate rates, and in
every ease we guarantee complete satisfaction.
No lands will be located by us until one of u
have thoroughly surveyed them, and in all
oases our patrons Bhall be given the best traote
of whioh we have any knowledge without
favoritism or partiality being shewn to anv
one. J
STATE LANDS.
We are also prepared in locate, survey and
purchase any desired quantity of State lauds,
and wdl perform this work either for a speci
fied price in money or for an agreed upon per
centum of land. Wo now have some choice
piCsM> of State land marked out on our maps
which have been surveyed by us, and which
are among the best lands in this Stata.

Many persons have written me expressing a
desire to move to this state during the present
i. wonld advise to OBTAIN THEIR
HOMESTEADS NOW. In the Fall months tbe
rush of Northern settlers is so great that it is.
difficult to obtain choice homesteads; whereas,
at present tbe travel is light, and one ean se
leot a place with greater ease. In addition,
the large tract of homlstead lancVi contiguous,
to the railroad, recently surveyed and opened
up for settlement by Mr. BANKS, if not en
