"Ibuu In PallUn*.”
We are much pleasod with tbo sen
timents which we ilnd in an editori
al ot the Bainbridge Democrat on this
subject, and we re-produco it, with
our endorsement, below. There is no
doubt whatever that a political par
ty in this country often receives its
most damaging blows from its own
partisans, Their “zeal without rea
son” furnishes the enemy with ids
most effect ive weapons. The sensible
course of the party may condemn the
hurtful course of such partisans, but
the trouble is how to avoid being held
responsible for them.
We have heard a great, deal, since
the war, about the growing power of
the press of the country in educating
and giving direction to public senti
ment. The claim is no doubt a cor
rect one. But this growing influence
imposes upou the press the duty of
rising to the height of its tesponsi
billty, not of lowering the standard
because of the possession of greater
power. It should bo more careful in
its statement of facts, more fair and
logical in its reasoning, more deco
rous in its tone and language, and
more tolerant of the honest opinions
of others. Dogmatism is by no means
the surest mark of wisdom, nor
violenco the test of patriot
ism. All men possess to some
extent the faculty of abuse
and misrepresentation—often they
are their exclusive intellectual pos
sessions. But such men, as editors,
can never maintain the proud posi
tion now claimed for the American
press. To maintain that position the
press must discuss principle; It must
deal In argument, not in personal
abuse : it must seek truth, not evade
or disregard it; it must treat all men
fairly and liberally, not with the nar
row prejudice of the blind partisan.
Thus only can it deserve or maintain
the high position and influence claim
ed for It.
The following Is the article of the
Democrat:
Abuse in Politics.—There Is no
more good end to be subserved by
abusing a rival In politics than iu bis
church relations, or any other of the
positions ho may take against our
own convictions of right and wrong.
It a man differs from us upon any
question wherein principle is invoved,
it is the principle that should be at
tacked and not the oxponeut thereof.
If the principle is niado odious, its
advocate must also be covered with
obloquy.
It Is by no means necessary for one
to show his zeal for a cause, if ho is
truly a zealot, by bitter personal
abuse. Such a course, on the other
hand, must necessarily detract from
tile zeal, the honesty, and the pure
lnteutlous of the man, and show in
stead the “sounding brass or tink
ling oyrnbal” In the estimation or the
clear, cool-headed, closely discern
ing portion of the sect or (inrty to
which he may belong. Ileasou, ar
gument, eloquence, persuasion, etc.,
are the proper weapons, and if they
cannot be used effectively, a resort to
personal abuse. Intimidation, and bil
lingsgate only serves to draw sympa
thy to the object of attack, and mate
rially weakens the cause we strive to
uphold.
Wo are led to write this article in
answer to soni few of our friends
who “don’t think The Democrat is
bitter enough—is not os sevoro upon
tliis man or that man as it ought to
lie.” Before this campaign fairly
opened wo laid down our platform,
and upon that line weexjwetto tight.
We shall light to the bitter end the
principles of Radicalism—wo shull
try to show it up In ull its ugly enor
, mity- but upou iadlblduals we have
no war to make. The Democrat is
the people’s paper-the champion of
ugreat party, and as such it will act
in every emergency. When an indi
vidual becomes a disturber of the
public peace, and particularly noto
lious in fomenting discord, then rest
assured ho will commend himself to
]K>rsonal publicity through these col
umns,
J. |t. Treadwell. •
We have received a note from J.
K. Treadwell, a colored politician of
Bussell county, Ala., who in the late
election in that State “scratched”
the Badieal ticket, and who after
wards, in a communication through
our columns, gave a square contra
diction to reports that the Demo
crats carried tbo eleotion by intimi
dation, &o. Iu the note before us,
Treadwell asks us to allow him to
pronounce as false and malicious
certain slanderous reports about
him which he says have been
started in consequence of his politi
cal course, lie says that it is charged
that he hus been in prison in Lee
county, Ala., and on tile chain-gang
in or near Atlanta, Ga., and these re
ports he pronounces false and slan
derous in the most emphatic man
ner. He refers to the proper author
ities or those places for tho substan
tiation of his denial, and says that
he never was in any prison or before
any court.
We give tho substance of Tread
well’s communication, preferring
this to the insertion of the note as
sent us. We hope that justice will j
be done him.
TAFT’* Line APOLOGY.
Attorney General Taft has becu
forced by adverse public oplniou to
attempt a justitlcation of his late in
structions to United States Marshals,
ordering them to enforce a law pro
nounced unconstitutional by tho
Supremo Court of tho United States.
This he undertakes in a communica
tion to tbo New York Herald, He at
tempts to reconcile ids conflict with
tho court, by contending that the
facts In dispute In the case which
the Supreme Court decided only
called for a decision as to the consti
tutionality of tho Enforcement act in
its application to State elections,
and tliut the utterances of tho court
concerning the constitutionality of
tho law in any other application
were not judgments, but only judicial
dicta. Tho Attorney General thus
relies upon a legal formality to justi
fy his course and purge him of con
tempt.' The Supreme Court did
not draw the nico distinction which
ho does between the authority
of the Federal Government to
interfere In aStato election and its
authority to Interfere in an election at
which Congressmen and Presidential
Electors are chosen. It pronounced
the law unconstitutional in all its ap
plication, and only the accident that
tho caso brought was for conduct at
a State election gives tho Attorney
General a llirnsy and tottering prop
upou which to base his defense. He
knows full well, from what he calls
the unnecessary dicta of tho court,
that if it was called upon to decide
a ease involving the right of Federal
interference at Congressional and
Presidential elections, it would de
oide adversely to the authority, be
cause Its decision in tho Kentucky
case went to that extent. Wo thus
see the Attorney Germanl of the Uni
ted States ordering the harsh execu
tion of a luw —Its execution In a man
ner not contemplated oven by those
who passed It™ when he knows that
tho highest judicial tribune in the
country has pronounced IV, unconsti
tutional, and will so prououuee
again when it comes to reviowofficial
acts committed under his instruc
tions. Thus it is that the present Ad
ministration governs tho Southern
j States without regard to law and in
' defiance of judical decisions.
Ht NNIA A Nil TURKEY.
I The telegraphic news agencies of
Europe and tills country are evidont
lj determined that the Eastern ques
tion shall be well reported. A collec
tion of all the dispatches seut sinoe
hostilities commenced would be a cu
rious and incongruous budget in
deed. It takes longer time and more
mnuoeuverlng to get up a big fight
on this question than was ever known
before. The fact that several of the
“great powers” of Europe have not
become parties to the conflict before
this time at least attests a dread of
war and a sincere desiro to maintain
peace,
Bussla alone, of all the great
powers, exhibits a belligerent dispo
sition, and it will be seen that the
diplomats of Europe doubt whether
she really wants to Interfere as a
party to the struggle. They suggest
that she only wants to restrain the
perwors from imposing on Servla
terms which the Sultan hus a right
to demand on account of the fuilure
of the revolt so far. But the reported
proposition of tho Czar to tho Em
peror of Austria hardly sustains this
view. On the contrary, It indi
cates that Kussia was willing, if back
ed by Austria, to take possession and
protection of the revolted principal
ities. She proposes a division and
an alianco in maintaining it. This
was really, under the circumstances,
"audacious,” as the London Times
says. It was a defiance to the bal
anoo of Europe. Taken in con
nection with tho great and
continuous aid which Russia
has permitted her subjects to ex
tend to Servia— assistance on so large
a scale that. Russians have vir
tually taken charge of the war and
control of tho situation—it at least
argues that Russia has come to the
determination that Turkish rule
over Servla shall never be fully re-es
tablished again; and the Servian
government, in the face of defeat
and invasion, still takes this stand
defiantly, evidently with tho assur
ance that Russia will back them in
h. to the last. Wo cannot, therefore,
resist tho conclusion that Servia
must gain her demands and tho Porte
be despoiled, or a stroifjjer power
than Turkey must con front Russia ou
the hattlo-fleld to prevent it. To our
view, tho only solution of tho ques
tion now is the independence of Sor
via and perhaps other Turkish prin
cipalities, or a war of tho ot her pow
ers with Russia.
AN Wl.b WAR KENSaTIUN UKVIVKM.
The Radicals have revived and are
circulating as a campaign document
at the North, the* letter which Jacob
Thompson wrote during the war con
cerning his operations in Canada—
his organization there of expeditions
to burn Federal stores, ships, &c., in
the North. They are doing this to
"fire the Northern heart” agaiust
the Squth again, and stir up anew
the passions of the war. The “bloody
shirt” is not haviug the effect de
sired, and hence this attempt to re
vive old sectional animosities.
Tho Memphis Avalanche has had a
conversation with Mr. Thompson iu
reference to this letter of his, as re
cently re-published, and It thus re
ports him:
He says the letter has been tamper
ed with in several particulars. All
the efforts made by him to induce
the Sons of Liberty to aid bim to
release prisoners are correctly stated,
but he could never prevail on them
to take any steps in that direction.
It was a dead failure. They would
not commit an overt act, and he
abandoned them as allies. He at
tempted to release prisoners on
Johnson s Island, and only regrets
his want of success.
As to the burningof Cincinnati and
New York, Mr. Thompson insists
that the letter has been so changed
as to give a meanlug which he did I
not have, and contrary to his inten
tions. j
Asa belligerent lie had the right
to destroy and burn, if he could, pub
lic stores, ships, navy yards and
munitions of war. Nothing more
was contemplated. In regard to
New York city, the expedition was
gotten up and allowed only to burn
tiio navy yard, ships and munitions
of war then fitting out in Now York
harbor, to attack and reduce Fort
Fisher in North Carolina. After tho
soldiers, who volunteered to do the
work, had been in New York at least
two weeks and had failed to do any
thing, ho sent an order for their im
mediate return, fearing for their
sufety ou uecount of their long stay.
On receiving this order, they resolved
to tire the city and did so, in several
places, being unwilling to return
without doing something to show
that ttiey had been in New York.
This Mr. Thompson disapproved and
regretted. In writing confidentially
to his government he did not think it
Ills duty to apologize or to express
his regrets.
This letter from Thompson, to
gether with others of tho Confeder
ate class, was placed in the hands of
a clerk, with directions to burn them.
Such was tho order of tho authori
ties before they left Richmond. The
clerk went to North Carolina, and
betrayed bis trust by selling them,
through an agont, to tho United
States for $70,000. Mr. Thompson’s
letter is tho only one of all the Con
federate letters which has, as yet,
been published. It is a question for
tho voters of the country to decide
whether this letter was worth that
tum taken from the taxpayers. This
letter wus published iu the last
Presidential campaign and served
its purpose then. After November,
1876, it may be laid aside for the
campaign of 1880.
THE HONEY POWER IN INDIANA.
Correspondence of the Courier-Journal. |
Indianapolis, Sept, 28. -The Re
publicans have been holding their
heads up a little in tho last day or
two, and have exhibited more confi
dence than they have heretofore.
There is only one solution for tills,
and tfiat Is that they havo raised an
other “stake,” got some more money
from some quarter. You can always
tell when these Republicans in ln
diauapolis have received more mon
ey. You can see it in their actions.
The enthusiastic portion of them
wear smiling fucos, and nearly dance
along tho streets. The managers
look bold and confident, and our ar
istocratic, royal friend Friedloy, the
chairman of the Republican Commit
tee, smiles childlike and bland, and
looks contented. It is money that
inspires hope and confidence iu the
breasts of the Republicans of In
diana, for they know if they have
plenty of money they can hope to
corrupt tho ballot-box and perhaps
defeat tho party of reformers. The
game of the Radical managers in In
diana is to buy 6,000 opposition vo
ters to cast their ballots for tho Re
publican State ticket, which will
make a difference of ten thousaud
votes. If they havo the money, I
have no doubt but this can be accom
plished. It is only fifty votes to a
county, and hardly five votes to a
township. How easy it would be,
now, when times nro so hard, and
with so many poor, idle men in every
township in the Stuto, for a sharp
man in each township to start out
with five flve-dollar notes in his
pocket and buy five men to vote the
Republican ticket just ns easy
as rolling off a log. It is not a
question in my mind whether this
will be done or not, for I have
good reason to believe that it will,
but it is a question whether they will
stop at the purchase of live votes iu
each township. Their own voll shows
that the Democrats hove the Stacje by
ten thousand majority. The purchase
of five thousand of these votes
against them from our side and ad
ded to their side would make iteven,
and by Imported negroes from Ken
tucky, and roughs nnd repeaters
from Philadelphia, they hope to gain
live thousand more votes, which, ac
cording to their count, would give
them five thousand majority. Ou
tho other hand, I claim from ex
tensive information and by a careful
study of tho figures of previous elec
tions held in this State, that Indi
ana to-day, in n fair, square election,
will give Hon. J. 1). Williams, the
Democratic candidate for Governor,
not less thaD 20,000 majority; and
even if the programme of the Radi
cal managers is curried out, the pur
chase of five thousand votes and the
importation of live thousand ne-
S:oes and white repeaters, the
emocrats will still carry the
State by a handsome majorit
ty. And I believe that more
disgusted Republicans iu this
State will vote the Democratic tieke
next month than poor. and needy
Democrats will bo bought to vote
the Republican ticket. Thus you
will discover that wo expect to beat
this Radical, rotten aud corrupt
party ia spite of their money, import
ed negroes and wliito rogues aud re
peaters. The Republican Central
Commlttoe raised some money Tues
day, Just how many thousand dol
lars Chandler sent them the Demo
crats up havo not learned. Of course
that money will bo used where it
"will do the most good,” aud the
committee evidently thought that
SBOO of it would do tho most good in
Johnson county, so Johnson county
gets that much of tho corruption
fund. You see that immense Demo
crutio demonstration iu Franklin,
Johnson county, scared the Republi
cans up. There are about fifty conn
tics in the Stato like Johnson, in
each of which the Republicans will
drop about SBOO.
CONDENSED GEORGIA NEWS.
—The Thomasvillo Times ot Saturday
says that the gin-house of Maj. Hawkins,
on tile Montgomery place, together with
contents, amounting to seven bales of cot
ton, was burned on Thursday night. It

—Tho negroes of Spalding county held a

Republican candidate for Representative.
After dlscuslon. tho meeting unanimously
adopted a resolution not to make a nom

the Democratic nominee.
—The Appeal says: Corn cannot bo

—Drought.
—The large and commodious hotel, with
tho cabins adjoining, atCohuttali Springs,
Murray county, was completely consumed
by lire on tho night of tho 25th iust All
tho furniture and every species of person
alty were destroyed, some of tho inmates
barely escaping with their lives.
- Ned Duncan, a colored man, was killed
in Valdosta by a young white man named
Mark Jones, on Saturday afternoon. The
colored 'people, Duncan’s relatives, were
so infuriated over the affair that it was
with tho utmost difficulty the Sheriff and
town Marshal prevented their mobbing
young Jones.
—The (Xmstitution says that at Newton
Court, last week, a negro named Berry
Phillips, was convicted of tbo murder of
a pedlor named GalJaher, in Dooombor

stantial, but of such positive character as
to leave no doubt of guilt. He was ably
defended by Hon. W. W. Clark.
To Visitor* to the Centennial.
On account of the hundreds of trunks
daily lost, in Philadelphia, tbo Ledger
says: A first rate service cun be done by
the newspaper press of the country to all
persons intending to visit the Centennial
Exhibition by advising them to leave
trunks and all other cumbrous hngifßge
at home. The people who arc free from
these Impediments are immensely we
may almost say infinitely—belter off, at
this particular time, Ilian those who bring
them. Tlie trunk or any oilier pieces of
luggage that cannot be carried in the
hand of the visitor, and be in the railway
car under the eye of the visitor while
traveling, is a perpetual source of anxiety,
disappointment and vexatiou. Railway
depots have pyramids of them, which the
owners never see until about to return
home. What can be carried in the haml
valise, the satchel, or with the wraps in a
slmwl strap, is all-sufficient for visitors to
tho Centennial Exhibition. The prevail
ing styles of dress in Philadelphia, at this
time, is the dress that people travel in.
It i3 recognized and cncourageed as the
proper tiling for ail occasions, whether
for street dress, dinner dress, or evening
daess, and it is universal at the exhibition.
Travelers and visitors are here in sufficient
numbers to make tiie style; and especially
those who have old, easy fitting, comfor
table hoots and shoes, never think of put
ting on any others. We repoat that no
luggage is needed at this time for any
purposes of etiquette or ceremony hi
Philadelphia beyond what visitors travel
in and carry in the satchel, valise or slmwl
strap . Those who bring trunks are sim
ply sowing for themselves the seed for a
big crop of delays, regret, disappointment
and Vexations. It will be a great service
to circulate this advice. Leave your
trunks at home.
