IKPAMOUB fAMEBOOW ON HKH CITIZENS.
When wo enmo to the conclusion to
leave the loffal fraternit y and embark
oo thd tmeortniß wntm-s of journal
ism, wo dtil so with two objoctM in
view-one to prosjior, and the Other
to uphold tho dignity and self-respect
of tho South. Tills, tho second day of
our,oxlteate. we foci called upon to
-uv#lc ut in behalf of this communi
ty, In reply to tho slanderous article
(which wo give in another column of
this paper) headed
“MUnDEUS ELHKWJIKBE IN THE SOUTH -
IIOW MEN ARE KILLED ON THE CHAT
TAHOOCHEE BORDER, &C.”
The lottor with this flaming head
ing was written from Columbus to the
Now York Times, by their correspon
dent, evidontiy before tho last scone
of bloodshed was enacted upon our
streets.
This remarkably slanderous letter
needs nd defense in this community,
or in tiro South, but away in the fur
North such lettors not only harm us
jiocunlarily, but do us great injustice;
for thoro the people are anxious to
hear and believe all munnorof things
against us. We owe It to thoso few
brave men at tho North who have
over tried to stand between us and
tho horde of slanderous voters who,
not satisfied with robbing us, and in
milting our women and children, but
now seek to further grind us in tho
dust by degrading laws and willful
mlsroprc3en tatlons.
Crimes arc committed here, just ex
actly as they are in every* other civil
ized community, and wo assert that
tiro groat North with its boasted
morality and respect for law and or
der, is not as free from crime in pro
portion to the inhabitants as is the
city of Columbus hr the South ; nor
liavo they half tho provocation ? Tho
idea of a man; so far forgetting the
obligation of toiling the truth, as to
writo that our worneu uphold and ap
plaud erimo; that there ure “suffl
clent young ruffians who go armed to
render unsafe the free expression of
opinion, unless by a man bold enough
to carry his life in his hand!” The
, man who wrote the lottor knew he
was not telling the truth, and it was
writtou like all others of that charac
ter, to injure, und keep alivo the pre
judices of emigrants.
How long are we to be slandered
find to suffer, to atono for leaving a
Govornmont which refused us protec
tion ? Cun it be that wo are ever
henceforth to be traduced ? What an
individual may think, amounts to
nothing; but when a representative
paper like the New York Times pub
lishes such abuse, and the Philadel
phia Press copies it, without com
ments, it ought to be evidenco to our
people flint the North is still against
UR.
Well if they are against us, what of
it? Our people are somewhat to
blame for it, for they would lot us
alone, if we would only become totally
indifferent to their opinions. Trade
with the West and Europe, and in a
few years instead of-our being scoffed
at and spit upon by the North, they
will change their tactics and make us
advoneos. The fact Is our people are
too much burdened with weighing
their words, and cheeking their opin
ions, for fear the people of the North
won't like it. They know we feel
this way, and imagine us ail to stand
in absolute dread of their censure and
disapproval. We should bo men, in
dependent In simech and action. Lot
us be Sure we arc right, nud then fol
low our honest convictions. It is
asking a little too much, for them not
oiriy'tA writ nil "our State govern
ments, but to control our thoughts,
our consciences, and our conduct.
Wo are a responsible people, endow
ed with inteUigonofc and enlighten
ment, and 'amenable to our laws, and
not to them as a body of individuals
attempting to control the opinion of
(lie balance of mankind. It seems
we have In llio last few years lost our
manhood, and a proper seuse of our
self-respect, by toadying to tho
North. Let us stand free of all dread
t their opinions, and look for a mar
ket in other lands. Let the emlgran t
hear direct from us, of our resources
and our climate, and ho will come.
Who wrote this letter wo can not
tell, aWo mat* introduced to Mr.
Howard Carroll some time siuoe, and
lie was represented as tho correspon
dent of the New York Times. We
can, say that he wrote It. We
hope ho did not; for if he did, it was
showing appreciation with a ven
geance, “for the hospitality atid wol

on tho occasion of being called out
by our people to speak when they
were rejoicing over the white man’s
triumph in the lute Alabama elec
tions.
How ridiculous it was for Grant, to
issue his proclamation commanding
"wild disorderly and turbulent per
sona” in Warren county, Mississippi,
“to disperse and retire peaceably to
their res]H'ot*vp abodes within live
days,” when, in fact, the white citi
zens of Vicksburg had several days

perse and retire to their homes. The
President's oversight eau only lie ac

HUB WHK.
Who are tucyi What are they?
Wluit then? Do you know ooc? We
dare say tyou ilo; for Mr. A., Mr. 13.,
Air. 0., and o on to Mr. Z., are blue
men. Not that every man Is in tho
category in question, but if the let
ters of the ulpluihot may represent
tyixw of men found In overy branch
of business, then Mr. A., Mr. 13., Mr.
C., &0., are specimens of desponden
cy. Mr. A., Isa lawyer, a mediator
between tho law and his client. Ho
has at once a ministry for tho protec
tion of both. Hs says ho has tried to
be an honest lawyer. Skeptics say
iionest lawyers are rare; ergo Mr. A.,
Is a rare lawyer. Ho is a man of good
parts slid Ims studied tils profession.
Few study as they ought. But ho
lias made tho ordinary curriculum
and has somo experience as a prac
titioner. Yet, of late lie has become
disheurtened. Matters liavo not
worked as they should ,hc says. He
hus few clients and thinks of leaving
the profession. No, Mr. A., you are
about to err greatly. Stick to your
profession. It Is a greatand good one.
Begin the new yeur with closer appli
cation to your business; and keep a
big, brave heart beating in your bo
som and you arc sure to work out a
grand result.
Mr. 8., you say you urea farmer.
You’ve been farmingforseveral years.
You are in u worso condition to
day than you wero when you be
gan. The warehousemen and gro
cers liavo all your cotton. The
fruits of your honest toll have
been garnered by others. You liavo
inudu other men fat and yourself
;>oor. That’s bad. The country Is
ruined, you say. That’s worse. Yon
are going to leavo it. That’s worst
of all. But hold a moment, friend.
Put tho common sense logic to your
cose. You huvo failed. You know
why you liavo not succeeded. Loose
financial management, caterpillar,
poor system of labor; these you say
are the causes. Well, then, these
causes are universal and not local.
Go to work with every other good
man to control tho causes, and tiie
effects are sure to drift Into your own
pockets.
Mr. C. is a merchant of Columbus.
This lias always boon a good trade
centre. It has boon a little behind;
allowed tho railroads to run around
it instead of through it. But, then, It
has matchless resources yet undevel
oimd and utilized. The trade is duller
with you this season than it has ever
been before. You are not selling
goods enough by half to sustain you
in your business. You are barely
making a living. Well, you arc a
very fortunate man if you are making
a living. Nee here, did you know the
people of tills country have been over
living und ovorpurchusing their real
income over since the war ? The far
mers have cheated you, you still urge,
and have been utterly faithless In
many instances. They liavo made
you promises time and again, und us
often have broken them. “Have not
some of them paid you ?” “Yes; and
they are gentlemen.” “Well, be pa
tient; it may be that many of them
have made an honest effort, and fail
ed. This is a revolutionary period.
The forces at work over our country
are far from being restored to equi
librium. The wheel will turn again.
Keep your heart up.”
We cannot present all these eases;
we have not time. Let them nil see
In answer to the second query what
pictures they make. A blue man.
What is he? A piece of sour, wrin
kled humanity. His face is wrinkled;
Ids hands are wrinkled; ids body is
wrinkled; his brain is wrinkled, aud
we are not sure that Ills heart is not
wrinkled. He feeds on the humors
of mlsunthrophy, aud they are sure
to wither Ills sensibilities and con
tract bis soul. Poisons are secreted
In Ills mind aud liver, and both be
come torpid. Ho lias a “lean and
hungry look;” seldom smiles. His
life is canopied with clouds.
Tine most striking feature, however,
in the ease is that the unhappy vic
tim of tho dangerous malady sees
everything else that is ilark except
his own dark disease. Should he
read this article, ho will say “it is iny
neighbor and not I.” But there are
otiier victims who set* it, and alas! too
sadly. This brings mo to tho third
query. What then? Those men have
homes and wives, to whom they re
turn at evenings. Miserable fellows!
tired of business, tired of the dull
routine of the day: they never fan
cy that they ure making women
tired of life. They know nothing
of the tears shed in their ab
sence, nothing of the hidden
heartaches, and patient waiting and
hoping, and disappointment, that
make the wear and tear of a woman’s
life. A woman’s home arid her hus
band’s happiness make her all. The
one is worth nothing without the
other. If she were In a palace, with
out his love—and that, too, demon
strated she would be unhappy. Has
nuy man, then, ever the right to visit
his business troubles on his wife?
nis face should grow brighter instead
of darker as he apxiroaehed his home.
A bright face costs nothing; kind
words cost nothing; a gentle, loving
disposition costs nothing; but these
together are worth everything. They
make up the sum of human happi
ness.
Blue man, desponding man, you
may do more harm thun the mur
derer. Are yon making a pale face
at your fireside? All murderers do
uot use a sharp blade or a nugget of
load. Last year you masked yourself
In that cold, hard fare. You have a
good heart, we all know that. You
have a generous, uoble nature. As
this year begins throw off that mask
and let your real, good, true self
eliinc on your fare and in your life.
Leave kind remeinberances at
your home and scatter smiles
along tho street as you go to
your busiuess. Encouraging words
and good cheer to everybody, bring
a larger revenue than any other in
ve.-Ament. Look at yourself as the
first sun of this new year dawns on
you; and if you arc not u true, good,
noble man, ask yourself the reason
why, nud go to work In good earnest
to make yourself so. Forgot your
past If need be, and throw your
heart and your sympathies Into the
present. Our country is pussing
through a critical period. Wo want
good, truo men to watch the Changes
and work for her development. Lot the
clouds that have lingered for so many
days roll back on tho failures and dis
appointments of the past, and with
the first sunlight of ’75 let us, one and
all, take fresh courage, with n deter
mination to help everything that de
serves our support, and do work for
ourselves and for one anotfier, that
wo may effoet tho maximum common
good.
The New Mlanliwlppi Nrnntor.
The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Hun has this to say of
Mississippi’s colored Senator ; Mr.
Bruce, the colored Senator elect from
Mississippi, lias been In Washington
several days. He spends some time
in condoling with the unhappy Pinch
back. Bruce, although said to be a
fullblooded negro. Is not very dark
colored, aud has several times been
taken for one of King Kalakaua’s
suite. Like all the other present and
prosixietive negro Congressmen, ho
dresses in fine broadcloth and B]>orts
tho heaviest of watch chains. There
has been spme talk about having him
investigated when ho comfSs in tho
Senate, but tho charges made against
him affect only his acts os a State
officer, he formerly having been Sher
iff, and it is not likely that the Senate
will consider that it should take cog
nizance of such matters. Mr. Bruce
does not look intellectually the equal
of liis colored predecessor from Mis
sissippi, Hovels. The speeches which
Bevels delivered in the Senate were
all prepared, it Is alleged, for him.
On one occasion, while Bevels wus
spouting one of these saeeches in the
Senate, Mr. Sumner crossod over, and,
taking a seat by a Democratic Sena
tor, whispered to him, "Bevels is a
oor shoat.” *

Tlir Louisiana Infamy.
The Hartford Times says: “The
throwing overboard of the tea in
Boston harbor the bloody resistance
to the British troops by the American
militia at Lexington —were justifiable
acts of resistance to tyranny. But
they were occasioned by acts of o|>-
pression and outrage no more fla
grant and defiant, and no more
threatening to the existence of free
dom in tills country, thun this i>er
formance of tho Grant and Kellogg
‘returning board’ of Louisiana. This
action, throwing out the legally elec
ted Congressmen and members of
tho Legislature, and putting Kel
logg’s creatures in their places, prac
tically disfranchises tho jicople of
that State. It is upheld by Presldeat
Grant. Ho has placed in New Or
leans a sufficient military and naval
force to silence all practical opposi
tion. A national Senator is to lie
chosen by this new Legislature; and
one of tiie Graut-Kellogg ring ex
poeta by this infamous proceeding to
secure the place, and thus give the
Grant-Radical party another Senator.
Of course this bold defiance of the
popular vote, and of everything like
law and justice, if tacitly acquiesced
in by tiie American people in the
ease of Louisiana, leaves the door
open to a repetition of the outrage in
auy State, North or South, whenever
Grant and his supporters may again
feel the need of securing by such
means that support in Congress
which the country is withdrawing
from him and his friends.”
110w r to Treat Bubol.uis. —Shooting
burglars “on the sjiot" is declared by
as competent legal authority as
Charles O’Conor to lie just and bene
ficial. It seems that some person of
over-exquisite sensibilities, feeling
exercised lest the law had been frac
tured in tho killing of tiie burglars at
Ray Ridge, wrote to Mr. O’Conor as
to what he thought about it. The
great New York lawyer responded
that he saw no occasion for consider
ing the technical question stated.
Men who devote their lives to house
breaking and theft as an occupation
can hardly be said to have any rights
which others are hound to resjieet.
Their habitual pursuit justly con
demns them to outlawry. At least
such is their condition while prowl
ing lu the night time within or around
the dwellings of their intended vic
tims. When In the attempt to exe
cute a felonious enterprise they hai>-
peu to bo slain by the family whom
they are seeking to plunder, public
justice will institute no fastidious
scrutiny. No one will enquire wheth
er all tho forms or ceremonies were
observed which some ancient law
giver or modern enaomont for “that
ease made and provided” may have
discreetly suggested, whatever may
be tho strict law applicable to the
ease; and whatever exact duty might
enjoin, no magistrate will commit
the slayer to prison, no grand jury
will indict them, nor will any district
attorney prosecute or petit jury eon
vlet. In summing up, Mr. O’Conor
concludes, lu the words above quoted,
that the action of the Van Brunts in
killing the burglars in question was
“just and beneficial,*’ and that nice
criticism ui>oii the manner of their
achievement is out of place,
A sou-committee of the Senate have
commenced ail investigation at the
Post Office Department to ascertain,
if possible, tiie cause of the deficit of
seven or eight millions in that ser
vice, with a View of reeonimenUUig
such legislation as will reduce expen
ses. It has been ascertained already
that there is an increase of a million
and a half dollars In transportation
alone.

Can his locks with age grown hoary
A wonderful tale unfold ?
He has something to say
Ere he passes away
To the laud of the darkness and cold,

He has all the requisites that will

they might ask who he was ami how
much capital he represented.
A Washington correspondent of an
evening nowsimper sends word that
President Grant lias decided to aban
don the experiment of civil service
reform, and to use the Federal offices
for the advancement of the Republi
can party. The authority for this
statement is, of course, uutiustwor

Of course it is untrustworthy. For
who ever suspected Gen. Grant of
"using the Federaiofflccs for the ad
vancement of the Republican ]irty?"
The bare suspicion ot such a thing is
a slander M|h>ii the disinterested pa
triotism of the President, who was
never known to appoint a man to
office from any other than the purest
and most disinterested motives, and
with an eye single to the Interests of
the public service. When we take
into consideration the kind of cattle
with which Grant fills the offices of
the country it would be rtdicukma to
suspect him of -’Seeking by his ap
pointments “the advancement of the
Republican party.”—’Sac/ MvertUvr.

here that Mills, of the fifth (ieorgia

might be possible that the next Presi

hence the services of Mills would tie

On a memorable occasion of an
election contest in the House or Rep

party was greatly in the ascendant,
their recognized leader, Thtid. Ste

was made in the affirmative. “ Well,
then,” said he, “we shall hold the
