"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 was tho work of som6 cowardly incen diary. No insurance. —Tho negroes of Spalding county held a largo meeting in Griffin on Saturday, to oonsidor the proposition to nominate a Republican candidate for Representative. After dlscuslon. tho meeting unanimously adopted a resolution not to make a nom ,iuation, but to support Col. J. D. Stewart the Democratic nominee. —The Appeal says: Corn cannot bo sold for half a dollar per bushel in Cuth bort, and yet meal commands one dollar. —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 last. Tho evidence was entirely circum 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. • ♦ - I’olxon Oak. Bays the Hillsboro, N. V.
