Newspaper Page Text7" I 1»U3 iOLlNUm. OA.i FRIDAY AUGUST 28. 1874. JOHN H. MARTI*, * irioionuiimoi kkckivkd i;*i.km* PAID FOII IN ADVANCE. A new pontage Ntaiup, to he issued to postmasters, for the purpose of affiiing them to newspapers under the new rates, which go os into effect the first of next year, will shortly be forthcoming. The New Orleans Timea of Wednesday ■ays: “The Han Antonio (Texas) Herald, just received, hi* reliable information that a large force of Mexican soldiers is being stationed on the Rio Grande. They number about 5,000 men, and constitute the flower of the Mexican Army." A curious incident of the Arkansas Constitutional Convention was a speech *>7 a colored delegate named White egaiost the enfranchisement of foreign boro citizens, which be said was opposed to the real interests of the oolored people of Arkansas. The luted returns from the North Car* olina election show that the Btate Senate will be composed of thirty-eight Demo, crate and twelve Republicans, a Demo cratic gain of six members. The House will probably contain oighty Democrat’ thirty-six Republicans, three Independent Democrats and one Liberal Republican J. O. Moncure is the Democratic nomi nee for Htato Treasurer of Louisiana. The name was wrongly given in onr Telegraphic dispatches yesterday. His opponent is a negro named Dubludet, on aouount of whoso nomination for re-elec tion, the Radioal Auditor of Louisiana resigned his office. Dispatches wero received at Washing ton oa Wednesday, giving an account of a fight between four companiea of the 10th United Htato* cavalry, nndor Col. Dawaon and the IndiatiH, Ooonees, Kiowas and Comanches at the Wichita agency. The Ooonees wore off their reservation without a permit, und after a talk with Dawson promised to return, but instead of doing so they made an at- taik on tho soldiers, in which the other tribes joined. Many Indians wore killed, and aever>d soldiers badly wounded. Four citizens wero killed. The editor of the Richmond inquirer, in speaking of the recout great porlorin auco of the horao Ftllowcraft, in running four miles iu 7 minutes and 19j seconds, says: “The writer of this waa on the quar ter-stretch reporting the raoo when he came in and heard Uilpatriok, his jockoy, tell Ten llrouok, Loxington's owner, that he could have made it easily in ten sec onds loss time, but he didn't want to presv him. All ho cared for was to boat Leoompto's time, which up to that timo was the fastest tour-mile heat on record." The Atlautn Herald makes this atato- ment of the progroas of military re-or gai izatiou in Georgia, derived from offi cial aources : “There aro at present 129 companies in the State, and eight or ten in proooss of organization. Of thoso already organized, only 51 are armed Tho Governor has no arma on hand for distribution, and unless soroo appropria tion is mado by tho next Goneral Assem bly for that purpose, tboy will have to remain without equipments,as the amount appropriated by the Goneral Government la not stiffic out to equip the companies now organizing in less than thirty yearn. There w»a a resolution passed by the last General Assembly requesting the Govern ment to donate 2(K) stacks of arms to the College of Agriculture at Athena. This will absorb nearly, if not all, of the quota for the prenent year." The llaltimore American (a strong Ho- puhlioau paper) in an aiticlo deprec Uiug the throwing of the next Presidential eloo- tlon into the House of Repre-outatives, protests against the injustice of allowing the small States a vote equal to the large ones, d dares that such a mode of elec tion affords larg i opportunity lor corrup tion, and says: “In this condition of our politics it is hardly possible that a Presi dent eleoted undor such circumstances should be generally acknowledged and obeyed." A Provident thus eleoted would be chosen in th* constitutional inode, and any faoiious opposition to him would bo a war upou the Constitution. Rut it would bo eutirely consistent with the war whioh the ltadi-al party is constantly waging against the rights of tho States. In a row which oocurrod iu the Tenth Wald of New Orlosns ou Tuesday, be tween Pinchbeck's supporters and his Radioal oppononta, a brick was thrown at the bead of tho President of tho mooting, which missed him atul struck another man. The man a ho was hit pulled out his pistol and ft ed, and at leist fifty shots wero thereupon tired by the contending fac tious. The police finally rushed in and restored order. Throe men were danger ously wounded. In A1 ibama a groat hue and cry was re cently mad) hooau-o two or three boys in But lor county throw as many rotten eggs in o a Had cal mooting, whereby no oae was hurt. But this disgraceful aiHl bloody fight among RulioaU in Now Or leans will hardly be n >tioed. Such pro- co dings are expected as a matter of oour-e when lliiioal uieee Radical in op posing factious at the South. Which is the party of violenoe ? continue inactivo or indifferent. No olaas of our population are more opposed to, or have a greater interest in defeating the priucip'e* of the Civil Rights bill, than the working white men. The issues of this political content are su*ih as come directly home to them, and no considera tions of personal convenience should tempt them to neglect doing their whole duty to themselves, their familios and their country. The Chairman of the Democratic Com mittee for the beat has called a meeting of the Democrats and Conservatives of Girard, on Haturday next. Every white voterahould attend that meeting and com mence at oncoan organization upon which much may depend. Ruoli a meeting will cnoourage an! aroaao their friends in other parts of tho county, and help to got up a feeling that may result in the re demption of Russell county at the ap proaching election. Come from the coun try, fiotn the workshop, from theoounter, from every place of business, and devote one or two hours to this duty, which you owe to your race snd your pirty. We will announce tho place of meeting as soon as it is agreed up >n. RADICAL HO LICIT CDF. ADOCT A “MACE IftftCK” AT THE SOUTH. Tho New York Times arguoa that if the politic*! conte-d in Alabama is mado ouo between races, it will be the fault of the Democrats, beosuae, it asya, the Republi cans in their late Convention at Montg ‘in ory declared that thny did not desire social oquality or mixed schools, Ac. But what does such u declaration amount to, nuder tho circumstances ? The Democrats of Alubaina well kuow that if the Civil Rights bill is forotd upou them it will be by the Ilopublicans in Congress and of tho coun try genoraby, not especially by those of Alabama. And do the Republicans of the North give the Democrats or white men of Alabama any assurance that they do not intend to pnss that bid ? Even the Times. while thus arguing that tho Republicans of Alabama will not give the Democrats this acute for making a race issue, will not say that it (the Timet) will oppose the passage of the Civil Rights bill! It moans to advocate tho ptsaage of the bill, und the bill will ho passed by Congress at its session of next winter, unless tho results of tho Houihorn elections show such a din- aster to tho Radical party on uccouut of their advocacy of tho measure, as to deter them from passing it. lint it is notoriously not true that the Republicans of Alabamnsro opposed to tho Civil Rights bill, or that any declaration to that effect by the late convention at Montgomery speaks the sontimonts of the Republicans of the State. Tho late Con- volition at Montgomery was prevorted by its white delegates, who had a majority in tho body, though tho whites do not constitute one-tenth of tho voters of the Radical party of the Htato. The trick by which these few whites thus constituted tho Convontiou and chested the ignorant negroes hss been too often exposed in our ooluinus to requ re repetition here. The negnos cou-t tuts the Republican party of Alabama, but they did uot control this Convention. A mouth or aix weeks ago, however,tho nugroos of Alabamn hold a State Convention expressly to take thisCi vil Rights question into consideration. No whites wero admitted, either Republicans or Democrats. It was a convontiou of the negro race to take its stand upon political question—to declare what the negroes as a raoe demanded and would contend for. And this negro Convention did endorse tho Civil Rights bill, mixed schools and all. A proposition to oxcopt mixed sohoola waa offorod, at the instiga tion of white Rail cals, und dohated for souio time, and finally ahaudonod. That was an oxproaaiou of the opinion of the Ridiciil voters of Alabama. Tho later Convontiou made a declaration of tho policy of the few whiten helifbging to the party, who hud secured control of tho body by superior tact and trickery, tho Civil Rights i-ano—the race issuo pres mted to the white men of Alabama both by tLo Radioa 1 ptrty of the whole o iuntry and by the Radical voteis of their own State. Moreover tho Republicans of Alabama, white at well as black, have mado a Leg islative record on this Civil Rights ques tion which cannot be mistaken. Last winter they had up iu the Logisliture n State Civil Rights bill, providing as dis tinctly for mixe 1 schools and social equal ity as the Congressional bill does; and this Alabama Civil Rights bill reoeived the support of every Radioal mouther of tho lloU'.a except three whites from North Alabama couuties. It p issod tbe Senate, but was defoatei in the Homo only by theso three whites aotiug with the Doat oorats. The Radicals of the North are suddenly solicitous about tho responsibility aud tho results of a division of races at the South Why have they not hoou denouncing such a division for the last six or eight yeurs, during all of which tiiuo the negroes have been compactly organized as a political patty ? Must white men only bo “respou- | sible' f »r party diviaione founded on races, when tbe negroes have all the timo had a negro party, with only white men enough iu it to hold the offices and work tho machinery ? Tho course of tho Times and its Republican associates is very much like that of the wolf that drank from tho suite stream with tho lamb. But the Tones must now abide tho results of the issue which its own party has thrust upou tho white race of tho South. They are aroused and uuited at last, and will not be docivod by any such transparent hum- buggery as that lately perpetrated at Mont- ! goutery. “He wbo of old would rend the oak ! Dreamed not ot the rebound.'* OHIO DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION. PLVTVOBM AND NOMINATIONS. Columbus, Ohio, August 26, 1874. The Democratic State Convention has adopted its platform. Tbe resolution* favor a sound currency, the volume of which should be regulated by the necessi ties of busitMSS, aud denounce as detri mental and vicious all laws that interfere with such natural regulations; favoreuch increase of circulation as the business in terests of the country may from time to time require; declare that sound policy and justice demand that not less than one-half of tho customs duties should be payu* lo in legal tender notes of the United States ; favor abolishing the franchise of the National bauks to issue paper currency us soon as the same can safely and prudently be done, aud that notes so withdrawn by the banks bo substituted by the Government with logal tenders ; oppose the existing tariff laws and combinations that tend to increase the cost of trauH|»ortaiion be yond a f*ir remuneration to the carrier; oppose excossive taxation and grants of the public domain to railroad corpora tions; oppose tho principle of the homo- ltws, am stead settlement 1 iw*, and denounce the Radical Attempt to subject the propria- tors of the principal newspapers of tbe country to indictment and trial in Wash ington for alleged libels; protest against the efforts to force social equality, and declare that the election of President for a period beyond ih»t to which usages sauct oned, would be a l'>ug a ride on tbe mad to practical monarchy ; arraigns tho Republican party for their extravaganco, waste of the peoples mouey, defeotive system of taxation, finance aud currency, and for their continued lynnny aud orti- elty to the South, and for other reasons. The following nominations wero m«do : For Secretary of State, William Bell, of Licking county; f.»r Sch *>1 Commis sioner, P. 8. Smart; for Judge of the Supreme Court, N. J. Filmore. Sale ot the Advertiser-Republican. The announcement that the Savannah Advertiser-Republican would be sold at Sheriff 's sale yesterday morn ng attracted a crowd of some fifty or sixty persons to the Court House, mod of whom were in terested in liens and mortgages upon the establishment. Tho s*lo was mado under a mortgage fi fa. issued out of the Su perior Court in favor of tho Merchant a’ Nutional lLuk agniuHt Board A Kimball, for tho sum of $4,500, with interest and cods, although there are other mortgages upon tho concern amouutitig to about as much more, and not including liens of some of tho late employees for wages. At half past eleven o’clock, Sheriff Ho nan nntionuced tho following i roperty as levied on under tho said mortgage, and then ut once offered tho same for sale : Ono double cylinder printing press, l proof press, 2 imposing stones and Htauds, 2 stand galleys, 10 double stands, 2 singlo stands, 1 cabinet and 20 cases, 08 cases typo, 2 pair cabinet cases, chases, {alloys, rules, leads, composing sticks, 25 lososono lamps, 1 stove and pipe, 1 cuse rack, 11 cases assorted typo, files of Sa vannah Daily Advertiser, and all o'her property of tho Savannah Daily Adver tiser contained in the building Nos. 98 and 95 Bay street. Tho first bid was $500, which was run up $500 ut a timo until $0,000 wus called, tho bidding being confinnd to a few geu- tleiuen. At tho Inst named sum the bids ceasod, and it was apparent tho maximum amount which auy one desired to invest had boon reached. Aftor dwelling for the usual time upon this figure, tbe prop erty whs finally knockod down by the Sheriff to Mr. Wui. bwoll, tho last bidder, for $0,000. As this amount, we understand, does not evon cover tho mortgages of tbe Advertiser, tho mortgagees on tho old Republican, together with various other olaiuiants, are left out in tho cold. It is probable from what we heir, though nothing dofiuito is known, that the papor will bo revived in u short time and will bo managed by a stock company.— Savannah Macs, 25th. STILL IN THE FIELD!
