Mb. Ohmui H. Huiium ia tba agent

Rnaaall oonntiaa. Ho ia antboriaed to
oolidl advertising and anbaoalptioBa, pad
to rooaipt for tba asms. Wa aommend
him oa a gentleman in every way worthy
of confidence.
Taa wonderful etory that aome woeka
ago two aaakea were taken from the
atomaoh of a woman in Tenneaaee, ia
pronoonoed by Col. John fl. Stephana a
hoax perpetrated by 0 phyaicten of Bridge
port. He aaya that it waa intended aa a
bnrleaqao of another big aoake atory.
A Janaar Onr dlapateh of the 18th
inat. reporta the death of Mila Mary E.
Pomeroy, the acooaer of Rev, John 8.
Glendenning. Before death aba made a
atatement, in the preeenoe of wit-
naaaoa, diatinotly all aging that Glen
denning waa the father of her ohild, but
aha waa too weak when it waa completed
to affix her aignotnre to it. v
Hoa. Milton A. 0annua, of DeKalb
county, who baa been nominated aa the
Democratic candidate for Congreea in the
Fifth Diatriot, la a gentleman of flne tel-
ante, who baa had coneiderable experience
aa a legialator—having nerved aevaral
terms aa Hepreaentativa and Senator, and
in onaortwo Constitutional Convention of
Georgia. Ha ia a man of aobolarly tastes
and a ready and eloquent speaker. We
trust that he will be elected, and we know
that ha would make a very creditable Rap-
reaentative of Georgia in Congress.
Sam Babu—which he ia postmaster at
Atlanta—haa explained the whole matter
about Grant's candidacy for a third term.
He says that Grant has never mentioned
auoh an idea to any person or persona liv
ing, but that he will l>e forced into a third
tarm election by tha unanimous voioe of
tba American people. We understand
that Sam haa taken eapenial pains not to
permit any paper containing this nomi-
authoritative statement to reach the eye
of General Grant, and that the General is
to be kept in profound ignorance of the
honors that are yet to be thrust upon him.
Alabama State money is now selling at
only 70 oenta on the dollar. It started at
about AO when first issued, and hag now
declined to 70. Returns elsewhere given
show that in ItnsaeU county, In that
State, which votes HOOO to firtoo strong (a
large majority negroea) only 12A7 polls
are returned for taxation. The oonnty of
Russell, in which Hi ere it so grant ashlrk-
ing of the poll tax, is heavily in debt,
and it ia only one of many counties in
which not half the poll taxea are eolleoted.
Yet the Legislature paaaea no law to en
force collection, bnt allows the State and
oonntiaa to drift on nearer and nearer
avary year to bankruptcy or repudiation.
Taa Advertiser of yesterday morning
aaya of the Radical Htate Convention
whioh assembled in Montgomery on that
day: “Four-fifths of tbs delegates to the
convention are white men—so-called —
ofBoe-holdera or offloe-hnnter*. The
wool has keen pulled over the darkeys'
ayes, and no ‘civil rights bill' will be
brought up in the convention, and no
‘d d nigger' will bevs a ahowiog on
tha State ticket."
The modus operandi by wbioh a few
whites ware enabled to select a.majority
of the delegates to the Convention has
already bean explainsd in our oolnmns.
The Civil Rights bill will of coarse be
ignored or dodged, but we do not believe
that the white Radioala will risk the
entire exolusion of the negroes from
thair State tioket. One at least as a “sop
to Cerberus" will probably be allowed.
Oattain E. Wells, brother-in-law of
W. P. Billings, who was lately murdered
In Bumter county, Ala., publishes a letter
in whioh he denies the atatamaota that
Mr. Billings had a large amount of money
on his parson and waa robbed; also that
ha started home on the night of his assas
sination In oomplianoe with a pretended
maaaaga from hia wife, brought by a ne
gro. Captain Walla aaya, however, that
Mr. Billings had not intended to go home
that night, and suddenly changed hia
mind. Ha thinks that Billings was killed
on aeoount of hie politics, beoause “ha
did not have au enemy in the oounty." It
is to be hoped that investigation will ex.
plain the mystery.
Tax majorities of tha Demooratio can.
dJdates for Congreea ia North Carolina
ware too all large for auoqgssful contest.
In the let Congressional Diatriot, Major
Yaatee' majority ia about 1,600; in the
3d District, Col. Waddell haa a majority
of 1,600; in the 4th District, Capt. Davis'
majority ia 1,636 ; in the 6th Diatriot, Gen.
Boalee' majority is some 1,600 over an
other Demoo rat; in the 6tb, Mr. Robbins
haa a majority of about 4,000, carrying
every county in the Distriot; in the 7lh
Mr. Ashe has a largo majoiity; and in
the 8th, Gen. Vanoe, regular Democrat,
beat Capt. Durham, independent and late
member, by a handsome majority. Hy
man, negro, had a largo majority in the
2d Diatriot.
the people."
This is the substance of what the
Lumpkin Independent reports B. F. Ball, j
Postmaster at American, and his brother,
Hon. Samson
in Hlewert county, on a recent visit there
to organise the Radical party, of which
they are members—Samson Bell being a
gentleman

candidate for Congress. It is but a slight aw , D | yj Ciinhilssione-, Poatinantcr at
variation of the cue given by Samuel F.
Rise, new oonvert to Radicalism in Ala
bama, who declares that tba Civil Rights
bill oannot effect anything, liecause the
common law is sufficient to accomplish all
that it contemplates. We have no doubt
that such pleas as these will be tha dodges
resorted to by all Radical candidates in
dose Districts in the South.
They are a downright insult to the in
telligence of the people. Why is the
Civil Rights law demanded if it ia useless
and to be of no effect 7 If the common
law oovers tha oase, why distraet tba coun
try and sxeite classes of its population by
this Civil Rights agitation 7 If they are
alnoere in admitting that no legislation
can affect the social eta taa of tha people,
why do they attempt it by legialntion 7 It
must ba, then, solely for tha purpose of
exasperating or humiliating one portion
of the population, and ibis makes the
motive that actuates it much woraa than
if it were urged from principle or with a
sinoers hope of accomplishing by it what
it undertakes to do.
■But there is no truth plainer than that
tba law is not intended to be a dead latter.
The minuteness of Its specifications, the
particular care taken to frame its provi
sions so as to secure convictions, and the
heavy penalties whioh it prescribe#, nil
show that its authors ara in “dead earn
est” in their determination to revolution-
ixe Southern society by this act. It la a
part of the Congressional “reoonstruo.
tion" policy, and there has nevar been any
leniency or sham in that policy yat. The
bigotry and malignancy that could oon-
coot and sxeouta tha Enforcement or Ku-
Klux law, has no thought of wasting time
and energies with meaningless or inoper
ative statutes. The Civil Rights bill, if
passed, will be rigidly exeouted and in
flexibly adhered to as long as the Radical
party has control of either branch of Con
gress or the Executive Department, and
onr people will be trifling with their own
rights and liberties if they suffer them
selves to be deluded by the ridiculous pre
tence of a few office seekers that “no
harm will couie of it."
Prattville, and Radical nominee for Pro

Radical nominee for Sheriff; and James

are brothers.
—The Tuakgee Netrs reports the pres
ence of both Pelham and Hs/man, Radi
cal candidates for the C'ongreeaional nom
ination, ia Macon county last weak.
They were working on the sly—boldine
no public meetings, but arranging with
leaders of the negroes. Heyman, the
iVou aaya, denounced Pelham aa an im
poster, and said that he had no bacon,
showing a letter from the Secretary of
War to that effect. It could not tell
whioh of them “fixed up” the oounty.
—The tax-payers of Chsmbem eoanty
held a convention at LaFayette on Mon
day last, to eonsnlt in regard to the tax
for the payment of the subscription to the
East Alabama and Cincinnati Railroad.
A letter was read from Messrs. Htonc A
Clopton, lawyers of Montgomery, recom
mending that a tax be levied according fo
the mandamus, aa further opposition
would be unavailing. The meeting ap
pointed a committee to not in conjunction
with the Commissioners in making fur
ther resistance to the tax, and adopted a
resolution thanking Hon. W. H. names
for his offer to defend the county free of
ohargs.

some mistake as to the character of the
disease.
—The funeral service# of Captain A. F.
Boiler, in Augusts, on Monday laat, were
very imposing. The oofln wea horns by
twelve members of ths Oglethorpe Light
Infantry, of Bavannah, twanty-three mem

—Among the resolutions adopted by
tha Sumter Couoty Democratic Conven
tion, waa one to the effect that tha Sooept-
euce of their nomination as members of
the Legislature, by Messrs. Stewart and
Furlow, would be oonaidered as a pledge
to vote for the amendment to the Consti

—Mr. B. T. Hmilie, of Atlanta, oeme
very near losing his life, on Moodey, by a
mistake committed at e drug store. An

one of his eyes to preserve the sight, and

phias (a deadly vegetable alkaloid from

Those who look to tha Nouth aa a place
for investment or emigration are startled
by the fact that in auoh Btatea as Geor
gia and Alabama, not one in ten of the
white people subscribe for tbelr own pa
pers, end this fact baa brought a oharge
of ignorance against tha Southern plan
ters aa a class, which la not true in faot.
The troth ia their not enhacribing for pa
pers and supporting them aa they should
do, ia attributable to oareleasneas, and to
the fast that they do not fully appreciate
tbe 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 aa a visi
tor that comes daily or weekly to edn-
cats their families. A good paper will

It ia charged by those who sneer at tha
Houtb that there is not a great journal to
bs found in its limits, and that any one
of the greet Northern States supports
more and better papers then all the South,
ero Btatea pot together. While
not deny this, we ran lay with troth it is
not for the want of Southern journalis
tic talent, far no section haa more ability
of this kind. The true cause ia that
Southern readers ere too few to support a
great paper. And eren where they ere
offered able journals at low prieaa la
tbe<r own Btatea, they prefer, aa in othar
purchases made by the Sooth, to take
Northern papers. The proprietor of the

would reflect credit on the South. Now
that there ie e prospect (or a good drop,
and a healthier tone, that bespeaks a raw
departure in prosperity and enterprise,
we have determined to carry out the plan
with whioh we started, and to place onr
