Twa Hew York Tribune pronounces
“preposterous" the report that Henry
Ward Beeohcr is to become the editor of
a Republican psper in that city. It does
not say why it is preposterous.
A ooaazsroMDZMT congratulates the
New York World on the fact that “not a
single Democrat Is in any way mixed up
in the Beeaher-TUton-Bowen-MouRon
Carpenter free .lore nastiness."
At the late local elections in Tennessee
the Democrats had majorities in all the
Congressional Districts, and in every
county in the State oxcopt two. This en-
oourages us to hope for the most sstisfac
tory results of the Congressional elections
next fall.
A Taaaini.a illustration of the madden-
iug effects of intoxioeting liquor was man
ifested in New York city on Friday,
carpenter named John Brandstein, while
drunk, shot his wife, attempted to kill a
policeman, wounded a oivilian, and then
blow out his own brains with a pistol.

A Btatr Convention of a novel kiud
waa bald at Condoane, Texas, laat week.
It waa a Convention of the Sheriffs of
the State to form a more perfect bond of
union aud oommuuioation in arraating
men who are defying law. They adopted
reaolutiona asking tlio Legislature to
amend the laws so as to provide more cer
tain pay to Sheriffs for following crlaria

other to use every effort to arrest and
bring in punishment any one hilling or
wounding a Sheriff while in the dlaoherge
of his duty.
The Macon Telegraph givea the par
ticulars of a big row at a Radical meeting
in its city on Monday night The object
waa to appoint delegates to their Con
gressional Convention. The meeting
waa called by Jeff Long, negro leader,
and it was charged that be circulated tho
call only among hia own wing of the par
ty. But the other wing which the Tele
graph calls the “Postofflce clique,” was
on hand, under the lead of Fitzpatrick,
white Itadioai, and J. H. Devaux, both
postofflce clerks. Fitapatriok and Long
soon got into a quarrel. Lung charged
that Fits waa only a Republican for the
sake of making money out of the party.
Fits oalled Jeff a "d—d lousy liar” and
other pet names. Jeff wont for him, and
Fits gave him a blow that knocked him
off hia piua and buuged hla eye for the
balanoe of the night. Then followed half
a doxen other lights, aud the row was
kept np until the police rushed in and
took Devaux to the barraoku. Then his
and Fitzpatrick’s party left the hall, and
the Long party appointed their delegates
to the Congressional Convention. But
Fitapatriok, Devauz end othera iaaued a
call for another meeting, to be held lest
night, at whioh they proposed to appoint
their set of delegates.
FUNNY AND FAUN.
We have rooently reoeived a number of
German and French papers, and we are
astonished, though, perhaps, we aliould
be complimented, at aeoing the name of
our city and town so conspicuous 1 Un
fortunately, however, our foreign ootem-
poraries quote words that we never wrote
and credit us with sentiment* that wa
have never felt. "HerStwit* Zeitung”my*

make readers, says: We give np our paper
in disgust, for the people prefer to read

they do while picking their teeth with a
fish bone", properly a herring bone. This,
whether French or German, is a fish sto
ry, and though we would not hesitate to
state such a fact, if we fait warranted, yet
we can assure onr German and French
translators that we never said so. They
can see for themselves that a small per
centageof the Southern people read papers
but we think they prefer papers to alma,
uses as a rule. Wa do not think the
Southern people, at least those that we
have met, are addicted to herrings. We
htve not aeen any herringa worth apeak
ing of, and we oertainly know that we
have never aeon a Southern man who
pioked hia teeth with a herring tail or
any part of a herring. The Southern
people are not newspaper readers because
their country is sparsely settled and mails
are not frequent, but for their chanoee they
do read, and as mall facilities increase the
Southern people show their appreciation

Men may denounce you aa being oold,

you well do not believe it. There ia not
we thiuk, in the whole Union to-day, a
man who haa such a perfect contempt for
• desperado, a murderer, or an armed
mfflan as yon have. You despise an
armed, swaggering bully, whether he
comes from the North or the South, par-
ticularly where hia record ia red with the
blood of innocent meu, shot down without
reautance, but under auoh a shadow of
the law as to escape ita penalty. You, as
0i6 head of tbiH nation, and a man of
honest courage, should despise a man
whose war reoord aa ona of your soldiers,
or an officer of the Sonth, showed nn-
doubted cowardice in times of danger;
and, air, yon should feel only contompt,
where you are powerless to pnnish, for
the man who, after hie brave companions
were defeated, and an oath of alia,
glance required as a qualification for cer-
tlin duties, took his black dog into an
United States offloe, and, raising tbs
animal s foot, insulted the Government
and blasphemed God by offering to let
the animal take the oath bocauae its mas
ter boasted it had the qualification of

good man at this,but General, what would
you think if the United State* offloer
grew indignant and objected to this in

You must feel in your heart, General, a
loathing for such a creature. He has
made graves along his life path, and he
has used the physical and mental gifts
that Heaven gave him to ourso once hap
py homes, while he made his own unhap
py, and to win by well understood games
of ohanoe the money that gave him the
power to carry out hia life of infamy. To
mention these facta to yonr Excellency
would be to rouse all your nobility as a
soldier, and all your indignation as a
father aud an honest man. Dut, sir, with*
out intending to foster crime, without a
thought of sharpening the knifa of mur
der, without one feeling that was not in
accord with yonr exalted station and high
sonse of duty, yon have commissioned and
so gave dignity to a man whose whole re.
cord is opposed to your career,and who now
tries to hide his past infamies under the
shadow of your patronage. Of course
you are deceived ; and because this mau,
with the anddenuess but without the sin
cerity of Paul, became converted, end
afterwards the henchman of a Senatorial
candidate, in the goodness and parity of
yonr heart you made him Inspector of
Customs for Alabama, and so dignified
crime, and gava a premium to the red-
handed. We are aware, your Exoellonoy,
that we may be the next viotims of the
creature you have thus distinguished ; for
our life is only dependent on the chances
his escape, without whioh he will
not shoot a man now, any more
than he would, sir, when he shirked
duty in front of the men in blue,
whom you so ably led. General Grant,
you care more for national prosperity
than party Success, and you have shown in
somo of your recent appointments that
you respect the gallant men who opposed
you for what they thought was right. Bnt
what can the Southern people, so desirous
for pesoe and proteotion think when you
commission a man to a high office in
Alabama simply because he claims to be a
proselyte to the Republican faith, and
who, like Bueteed, another man who holds
your commission, goes continually armed
in order to shoot down tho poor men
whom he brutally Incites to opposition in
order to murder them under the sanction
of our lax laws.
“Ool.” W. H. Betts, who cried down
Northern men such aa we are after the
war, who shot down our oomradea like
the ooward that ho is, who cursed the
Government for whioh we fought, who
oven damned you, sir, though his oatha
were your praise—this mau now claims to
be your warmest supporter, and at this
time, like an armed terror, he stalks Al
abama, claiming to be in your in*
teroNt. Your Exoellonoy would not
have us support a party advocated
by such a person, and we feel authorized
in saying thia red-hauded Betts ia not of
your calling, nor are you acquainted with
his terrible and cursed antecedents. Be
lieving, Rir, that God is on our side, we
have tried to do our duty iu our adopted
home, and it ia this feeling that leads ns to
oppose the men who hide their villainies
in Alabama, at thia time, nnder the shadow
of your illustrious name. Like yon, wo
pray for peaoe, bnt there can be no peace,
in fact, while auoh men as Busteed and
Betts buy powder with United Statea
money. C.

astraddle of the fence, and was “beaten
anyhow. Ho it will be with the eventual
Radical nominee at Opelika—ha will be
beaten whether he gees for the Civil
Rights bill, or against it, or straddles.
Then as to the psrsousl difficulties.
There was Busteed to fight Pelham to the
bitter end, with the same ball-dog perti-
y with which he fought the three or
four days’ fight for Jere HaralHon at Hel-
for a great many cIuhsgh of idle looHe-
tongued people, but we can say no words
can express our contempt for the he*slan*
derers who back their falsehoods by the
authority of “they say.” C.

THE' GREAT GEORGIA STATE FAIR
OF 1874.
Tha Annual Fair of thu Gaorgia State Africultural Society Ur |«, 4
WILL BE HELD AT
IMPORTANT FACTS WORTHY THE
Congressional legislation, last session, ef
fecting our eooiel relations aud customs,
that fanned anew the slumbering flree of
race antipathies. It has made the negro,
in a number of localities, actively aggres-
aive where he wee only foolishly dUoon-
tented beforo. The antagonisms of races,
developed by the mere agitation of a Con
gressional proportion to interfere with
their relations, would teach patriotic and
prudent men the necessity of abstaining
from such measures. But where a politi
cal party, like the Radicals of this coun
try, is tempted by the allurement of pirty
gain and exasperated by the accumulated
hatred of many years, it is vain to expeot
it to be guided by either patriotism or
prudenoe. It will persevere in its mad at
tempt to destroy the distinctions made by
the Creator of human races, and to oblit
erate by statute the superiority whioh
thousands of years of culture and im
provement have given to one people over
another. But we have an abiding faith
that even the political despotism of the
last ten years has iu this matter under
taken “too big a job.”
But a significant fact, to which we de
sire to call attention, is this: that a ma
jority of the late disturbances |of a polit
ical nature in the Houth are confined to
tho Radioal or negro party—the whites
or Demoorote have had nothing to do
with them. The disgraceful squabbles and
conflicts in the late Republican Htate Con
vention of Louisiana; tho conflict iu Ar
kansas; the quarrels and fights in the Re*
publican District Convention at Helma,
Ala.; the riots at King’s Mountain and
Georgetown, B. C.— all these were partic
ipated in only by the negroes and their
few white political allies. The Demo
crats have had no part nor lot in them. Is
it not self-evident that a political party
whioh engages in suoh bloody and
disgraceful conflicts between ita own fac
tions will aot with equal disorder and law
lessness in ita dealings with political op
ponents? Ia not this turbulent and vio
lent disposition, which it so constantly and
repeatedly exhibits when no Democrats
are about, strongly suggestive that it is
the aggressor in all oonfliots with the
whites—especially when we find the Dem
ocrats in their conventions and primary
assemblages conducting everything with
the utmost order and decoram ? If there
were no white men or Democrats, bnt
only the nogro and their Republican
sooiatea in the South, would thia be a land
of peace and order? On the contrary,
would it not be the scene of oonfliots and
pasaion carried much farther then Radi
oal quarrels in their own party now are?
Politicians may rant and misrepresent
as they please, but tho truth is, the whites
—and especially the Democrats—are the
great conservative element of the Houth.
Without their restraining power and in
fluence, this section would before now
have relapsed to tho barbarism of Hayti
or Guinea. No other influence or author
ity can maintain peaoe, promote progress,
or re-establish order and reverence for
law in these Southern Statea, and the
sooner politicians reoognixe thia great fact
and shape their policies in accordance
with it, the better it will be for both
sections and all parties.

Live Family Paper!
Those who look to the South as a place
for investment or emigration are startled
by the fact that iu such States as Geor
gia and Alabama, not one in ten of the
white people subscribe for their own pa
pers, and this fact has brought a charge
of ignorance against the Southern plan
ters as a class, which is not true in fact.
The truth is their not subscribing for pa
pers and supporting them as they should
do, is attributable to carelessness, and to
the faot that they do not fully appreciate
the importance of keeping pace with the
news and advance of the world, nor have
they ever thought of the greAt and vital
necessity of having a live paper as a visi
tor that oomes daily or weekly to edu
cate their families. A good paper will
do more to make a home pleasant, bright
and intelligent than fifty times the
amount of the subscription spent in any
other way. The man who habitually
reads an able paper would be lost and un
happy without it.
leatkers learnsllina.
It is charged by those v! ho sneer at the
South that there is not a •.•reat journal to
be found in its limits, aud that any one
of the great Northern States supports
more and better papers than all the South
ern States put together. While we can
not deny this, we can say with truth it is
not for the want of Southern journalis
tic talent, for no section has more ability
of this kind. The true cause is that
Southern readers are too few to support a
great paper. And even where they are
offered able journals at low prioes in
tbe'r own States, they prefer, as in other
purchases made by the South, to take
Northern papers. The proprietor of the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun has endeavor
ed to point out this error and show the
^onthern people that if they would ever
rise to the proud position for whioh
heaven designed them they must patron-
ze home enterprise, particularly when
that enterprise requires a largo expendi
ture of money, and educated talent as in
the case of a newspaper.

In one year the Enquxbbr-Sun has
more than trebled ita circulation, and
this by bard work honeatly and fearlessly
pursued. Yet the circulation does not
warrant us iu giving such a psper ns we
would like to our readers, and one that
would refleot credit on the South. Now
that there is a prospect for a good orop,
and a healthier tone, that bespeaks a new
departure in prosperity and enterprise,
we have determined to carry out the plan
with whioh we started, and to place our
paper within the reach of every man
rich and poor in the country, who is able
to read. In order that no man may have

THE OPELIKA CONTENTION.
Without positive information on the

differences and insolvable perplexities.
A postponement lor a whole month, to
await the tarn of events, is a very un
usual resort, when ws consider that the

weeks hence to undertake the job that
proves too big ■ thing for them now.
We can imagine the difficulties, both
political and personal, which the Conven

negro population largely preponderates,
and several othera in whioh the white
