AS IM I HI M > THK PARTY.
Wo have for u long time thought no
greater evil could befall the Demo
erutlc party South, than the complete
and final overthrow of Radicalism.
While it wan right and proper wo
should ho victorious In every contest,
yet utter annihilation of the Radical
party, In our opinion, Is a calamity
to be deprecated. There can be no
doubt that the effect upon us will bo
felt in the shape of independent can
didates, general confusion in our
ranks, and probably balng into exist
ence anew party with new Ideas to
present to the people. But greater
than all tills, Is the question what
will we do with their voters? That
party in Georgia, though in the mi
nority, would still exist und their vo
ters be kept together, but for their
overwhelming defeats lust fall. Now
that their party organization is
broken up, their leaders disheartened
and their cause abandoned, it leaves
uisin the South a balance of jiower
composed exclusively of negroes, who
are cormorants upon the candidates
for office, und have to be controlled
by them in each election at great
cost. This Is the case In State as well
as municipal elections. Asa rule,
they have no preferences, hut stand
as a bone of contention, subject to the
highest bidder.
There can be no doubt that they
are an Incubus upon the i>arty, and
will be as long us it is necessary to
obtain their votes with money. In a
few more yoars, if this state of things
continues to exist, the purty will be
prevented from placing men in office
distinguished for their wisdom and
purity, but the prerequisite to office
will bo decided by the amount of
money the candidate can control to
buy the negro vote. Running for
office was always more or less expen
sive, but now the emoluments of the
various offices scarcely repay the suc
cessful candidates the amount of
money necessarily expended in being
elected. Under the present system it
acts almost as a prohibition to the
man without inouey to run for an
office.
The evil must be remedied In some
way. We hope the Legislature that
is about to convene, will provide some
means by which it can be checked,
if not eradicated. No man should
have the right to vote unless he uses
it legitimately, and under no circum
stances should he be allowed to bar
ter it, as they would a commodity.
We suggest the selling of a vote for
money, or any other tiling of value,
lie made a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction be confined in jail for six
months, and the franchise lie denied
him forever. Some constitutional
point, may he in the way, hut we i hink
it ean be done legally. The Idea is a
good one, and while such a law is
liable to evasions, yet it will have a
wholesome effect, and to a great ex
tent stop this great and increasing
evil. We desire to bring this matter
before the public, hoping that some
one may be able to suggest a certain
remedy. If such an net as we pro
pose is passed by tho General Assem
bly, It, will place flip offices of the
country In the reach of all good men,
and those elected will be elected as
representatives of the iieople upon
their Individual merits and fitness for
office.

Yesterday we received several com
munications from well known citi
zens, which we must decline to pub
lish, and we trust they will readily
see the propriety of our doing so.
They were of a personal nature, and
would have led to endless bad feel
ing, and may lie trouble.
Our columns ore free ami open to
every citizen in Georgia and Alabama
lo discuss questions involving tho
welfare of our city and tho South, or
pertaining In any way to the correc
tion of evils in our State or local gov
ernment. Anything, in fact, which
will prove Interesting to oar readers
we will cheerfully publish, and we
invite such correspondence.
Columbus Daily Times. We have
received tho first number of anew
daily paper of the above title, started
ill Columbus, Ga., on the Ist inst., by"
Messrs. ,T. B. Wright & Cos., with Mr.
Charles H. Williams as editor. It is
thoroughly Democratic in principle,
and Southern in tone, and we hope
to see It live and prosper. It is neatly
printed, and in complexion very
much resembles tho old Daily Sun of
that city. Wc welcome the Timm to
our desk as an exchange, and hope to
find it there regularly for many years

They say of Mrs. Grant that though
she is not the handsomest woman in
America, she is perhaps one of the
best managers. The fact of his hav
ing such a wife is Only another illus
tration of Grant's rare luck. If ho
knows how to tight a battle and drive
a horse, she understands all about
house-keeping, marketing, and how
to keep the buttons on the children’s
clothes.
Montgomery is making a big effort
to secure the holding of the Grange
State I’air at that place, and her mu

Red Tape vs. the Popular Will.
Mr. Charles O’Conor, of New York,
has written a letter giving his opinion
on the validity of the Now Y’ork con
stitutional amendments, which he
sustains, holding that whenever they
see fit. the people of a State can alter
their written constitution, and that
alleged informalities are unimpor
tant, and not to tie weighed against
the popular will.

MAN ON A BLACK HOUSE, WITH BLACK
HEARD RHINOS THE NEWS.
On .Saturday night, there was some
excitement on tho street, occasioned
by ttie report that men were moving
on tho city with hostile intentions.
Wo could not get at the straight of it
until this evening, when we picked
up the following letter, which ex
presses how the whole affair happen
ed. The writer can get the original
at tiiis office, and wo bog her pardon
if sbe did not want it made public,
but newspapers will publish anything
they find:
Cochin Nancy : I did it, it is true,
und perhaps I oughtenter, lint I did
it. all for the best, and perhaps It was
for the best, for you see nobody was
hurt, although there was a mighty
stir in town, for, you see they was
not expecting a raid from Chatta
hoochee.
You see I read in Harper ’s Weekly
about the Bender family of Kansas,
how they Ailed a whole cellar full of
travelers’ dead bodies, who stopped
over night with them and I thought
I never would hear the like again,
but imagine how unjinted my mind
was to find that I have been living so
near to a family, who, if report be
true, afe o thousand times worse
than the Benders. .Shall I mention
their names? Why not, is it not in
the mouths of every one, do not
nurses scare refractory children now
by the mention of the Bagleys! Well,
I was sorry for this family to go to
the bad, for they always stood high
in the estimation of all the folks I
knew In Chattahoochee, tho’ since
it has been publicly announced that
the Bagleys had turned so bad, it has
been discovered by ail old lady friend
of mine thut the old man never took
a proper stand against his boys going
to crime.
Now, since I found this family out,
I’ve been watching them close,—
tho’ I’ve quit speaking to them, not
knowing what they would do next,
since I learned thut them that stuyed
at home In Chattahoochee were also
guilty of killing the police.
So I wutched these boys, and notic
ing that they were remarkably'quiet,
I ’lowed that they was up to devil
ment, and just after tho last cold
snap I noticed them saddle their
oreeturs and saw them slip off from
home with three or four blankets und
a very heavy quilt, a red quilt
at that; ahul ha, boys, says I to my
self, I have found you out; you have
found that fire guns won’t do in Co
lumbus; you are ufeard of being ar
rested for currying concealed weop
ons, so you have got your grand
mother’s quilt and are going on a
smothering expedition, calculating
on ketohing a policeman asleep, and
then to smother him. Oh, horrors!
I never heard of anything so awful
since the murder of the little English
Princes by smothering, which my
grandson John read of at school; hut
drat his hide he was such a fool that
he never could tell whether them
Princes were boys or gals.
Ho after seeing the Bagley boys
start off, I called John from his plow
and told him to saddle the old black
mure and hurry up to town and let
the folks know the Bagleys was a
coming, and if he would be spry he
could get tlie vacancy on the police
should one occur by reason of this
visit of the Bagleys. So John start
ed, and then soon as he was gone, I
knowed I’d done wrong in sending
him, for he never told anything
straight in his life.
I have since learned that John
spread a report that the Bagleys were
coming with a quilt for every police
man, and a pile of quilts besides, and
that if the quilts licit out they in
tended to smother the town, and
create vacancies too numerous to
mention.
John says that by the time he got
through spreading the news he was
so soared himself he thought he’d
leave town and not wait for a vacan
cy; so he came out of town on the
street leading to the jail, hoping to
avoid meeting tlie Bagleys; but Im
agine his horror on nearing the jail
to see the Bagley boys just about
to enter the jail with the
quilts and blankets; he says he was
so scared he tiled to holler and he
could not even hear himself, so he quit
trying and watched to see what was
up, and after awhile lie saw the Bag
ley boys come out ami ride rapidly
away, without the quilt and blankets.
About this time John sorter hurried
towards home. Tho old mare is
dead; don’t know whether she was
soared or colicked.
Don’t let anybody know it eras me
that spread the excitement. Write
soon and let me know all the news.
Yours affectionately,
Polly .

The following is found in the Chica
go Tones:
“A Grange Master in good standing
recently informed a Times missionary
that, iii his opinion, Kelly &Cos the
kid-gloved and silk-stoekinged Gran
gel’s who farm in Washington, 1).
had accumulated at least #250,000
cash for dispensations, at sls each,
during the last three years.”
Commenting upon which, a Palmy
ra (Wisconsinl correspondent of the
Times remarks as follows:
If your "missionary” would consult
a Grange map, he would find the
above figures to be much less than
those given by the Grangers them
selves. They' say, up to last July,
"there were 22,000 Granges, embra
cing a membership of over 2,000.000,
with an increase of organizations
about 2,500 tier month."
Now, taking these figures, we find
instead of #250,000 for "dispensa
tions,” we have $330,000 to July last.
The initiation fees at the moderate
estimate of #3 per head amount to
$0,000,000, the ten cent monthly dues
per annum, amount to $2,400,000, tie
six cent quarterly dues to the State
Granges annually amount to #480,000,
besides the fifty cents for females,
and the dollar tor males. The ten
cent annual dues to the National
Grange amounts to $200,000. in addi
tion to what they get for “charters.”
It is not to be wondered at that the
bowels of the Grangers begin to be in
pain, as indicated by the resolutions
they are passing.

Ilralli ot an old Uwwlan.
The death of Dr. Linoecum is an
nounced as having occurred at Bren- j
ham, Washington county, Texas, a
few days ago. We think he was a
native of Richmond county, from
whence he emigrated to Columbus, !
Mississippi, in 1818, and from thence
to Texas In 1838. He was u man of |
powerful mind, though often eccen- j
trie. Hays a Texas paper: Among i
their studies he spent his idle hours
for fourteen years, in Washington
county, in studying the habits of the |
large red ant, common all over the
State, and then wrote u pamphlet j
giving the results. It possesses the j
interest of a novel. For this produo-1
tion ho was awarded costly gold
medals by the Academies of Science i
both in Philadelphia and Paris. His
writing on the grasses of Texas - its
minerals and its agriculture have
been numerous and valuable. For
years he petitioned the Legislature
to abolish punishment in penitentia
ries, ami substitute ennerehism as
more efficacious. In Mexico, ho
stated to Hon. John H. Brown thut
for fifty-eight, years, at daylight each j
Christmas morning lie stood in the [
door barefoot, in his night clothes,;
and played lhe Scottish air of Killy
Krankv, and that on forty-eight of
those occasions he had used the vio
lin then in his possession, made to !
order for him in Paris in 1820, where- j
upon he repeated the piece in tiis own
hospitable Home, opposite the city of
Tuxpan. He was then seventy-five,
and on his birth night, a few nights
before, hud been tire hunting, killed
a deer and carried it home on his
shoulders, a distance of two of three
miles. He at the same time said he
had reared ten children to he married
and settled.
Protection of the I'rrnrh Theatre.
To an American one of the striking
features of the playing is that the
subordinate parts are as well done as
the leading ones. The servant bauds
a letter or announces dinner as natu
rally as in real life. The discipline is
excellent, and the playeraceepts with
a good grace the part assigned to him,
although it may not be commensu
rate with his talents. In one or two
of Moilove’s comedies all the mem
bers of the company appear on the
stage ils sujiernumeraries. With the
kind of religion with which Moliere
is regarded, it is considered an honor
to be east in any of his works. The
Moliere worship is, in tine, the creed
of the establishment.
It is probably the only theatre in
the world where there is no music.
The sound of the violin and the flute,
however agreeable, is something ex
traneous to the drama pure, und cal
culated to interfere with its legitimate
effects, und it is excluded. It is a
sanctuary devoted to a special art,
and the strains of even Mozart are
out of plaoe; the harp is an instru
ment of levity, and the trombone is
profanity. 'There Is no hooting or
eating of ls-anuts in fact the jiea
nut is unknown no thumping of
sticks. There is a discreet silence in
the audience while waiting for the
play to begin which reminds one of
Ia church.
