crats of using Cayenne pepper to
“dlscourago Republican speakers.”

The frost last Monday morning in
the neighborhood of Vicksburg,

heavy, notwithstanding the drouth.
Cottou, sweet potato vines, &., were

Thev have a shrewd way of discov
ering negroes imported from other
.States to vote the Radical ticket, in
Cincinnati. When a Democrat sees
a suspicious looklug negro land from
the Kentucky side, ho steps up to
him and offers him flvo dollars to
vote the Republican ticket, and this
generally brings out. a coulldentlal
acknowledgement. “Why, boss,
that’s what I como for,” responded
one thus accosted tho other day.
The waste of tickets at elections in
Georgia is always very great; per
haps necessarily so. TbeGriflln News
says that it printed fi,ooo for the reg
ular election in Spaiding, and 15,000
for tho primary-making 20,000 for
2,000 voters. ThoCartersville Express
printed about 23,000 to accommodate
8,000 voters. We printed S,IKK) for
1,500 actual voters in Muscogee, be
sides numbers greatly in excess of
tho voters for Chattahoochee nnd
Harris.

Wr. regret to see that Dr. W. 8.
Leland, who run for tho Legislature
in Bartow county, was defouted. He
is a gentleman of excellent good
sense, whoso sound practical views
would have been of benefit to the
State had ho been elected. Wo fear
that too many such men have been
defeated by thoughtless.wiudy speak
ers, or shrewd political managers,
whose service in the Legislative coun
cils will result In no good to tho
people or the State.
The trial of Dr. Jos. 8. Burns was
still progressing at Chattanooga on
Thursday. He is suspected of tho at
tempt to burn the books and papers
in the Register’s office, and the facts
developed against him are these: He
had been at work in tho office a good
deal, copying and making abstracts;
he had inquired what a copy of the
records would bo worth in case the
originals should be destroyed by
fire; and the copies which he had
taken were found in Ids possession
ufter tho lire. But his previous con
duet had been considered irreproach
able.
The New Orlenus Democrat, of
Thursday evening, makes t he follow
ing favorable report of yellow fover
in that eity: “There arc now only
four cases of yellow fever in tho city,
all of them over live days old and
rapidly convalescing. A week ago
there were nine cases here, but
during the past three or four days
four of these sick have completely
recovered nnd are up again, and one
has died. The probabilities are that
this week will sec the end of the dis
ease altogether. All of these four
eases are within two or three squares
of each other, from Bt. Andrew to
Philip street and from Laurel to Con
stance street.”
* /’pftl' l
Taft’s Usukpatiok.—A correspond
ence which we publish olsewhere,
between a Democratic Committee in
Louisiana and Attorney General Taft,
shows the animus of tho latter And
of the Federal Administration in
issuing the bayonot order. Tho Lou
isiana Democrats simply asked Idm
to glvo directions to his Marshals that
when they arrested any persons under
his instructions they should take
them promptly boforo tho nearest
United States Commissioner to have
their cases at once inquired into.
-And this very reasonable request tho
Attorney General refuses to com
ply with! He puts his refusal
upon the ground that ho does
not wish to “take charge of the
details” of individual cases, but
has given general directions to the
Marshals and leaves the balance to
their discretion. Now the Louisiana
Democrats did not ask him either to
issuean order oonoerniug any special
individual eases or to “tako charge
of details.’’ They asked him for a
general modification of his orders so
us to glvethe least trouble to persous
unjustly arrested and to preserve
personal rights formerly belonging
to every American citizen. And this
is what he refuses. It is now more
apparent than ever that Taft’s order
is intended to harass and intimidate
Democrats, and that he seeks by tho
arbitrary severity of proceedings un
der it to provoke conflicts which he
pretends to deprecate.
YVe are informed, Buys the Jacksonville
Press, that Mr. Prank Floyd lately cap
tured {in one draw of his seine, "seven
thousand mullets besides a large number
of smaller fish of other varieties. Mr.
James B. Amnu also caught five thousand
mullets, which he disposed of for fertiliz
mg purposes. This is fishing to some
purpose.

A iiKIUtUU fcI.IXTIOV
We oau refer to tho election In
Georgia ou Tuesday last us a signal
refutation of the Radical charge of
political dlsafder in tho Smith and
intimidation Iby Democrats. Suffi
cient time has nowelapsed for us to
have heurd of any disturbance at tho
polls if one had occurred in any part
of the Btato. But no such report
comes to us; tho unvarying state
ment is that, tho election was every
where free, quiet and orderly.
We know that Radicals of the
Blalno and Morton stripe will say
that this was all because of the lack
of formidable opposition to the Dem
ocrats. True, thcro was no general
opposition that gave our party much
apprehension. But there were coun
ties in the Btnte quite closely con
tested, and these were counties In
which tho negro vote is heavy. Yet
a warm and close contest In these did
not produce any conflicts or stir up
any violence. There was no “intim
idation” used anywhere, rtnd if any
class were afraid to vote or were pro
hibited from voting us they wished,
it wus tho cities of colored men who
would have voted tho Democratic
ticket, hut wore reetruinod from doing
so for four of violence or ostracism
from Radicals of their own color.
We claim that the eminently peace
ful and orderly character of this elec
tion wus due to good Democratic
government. Could or would such
an election have been held in South
Carolina or Louisiana, under their
Radical Btato governments? Every
body must know that it would not.
Their governments would liavo been
far more likely to incite than to re
press conflicts. Even if they did not
do so actively, their imbecility would
have iuvited them.
The slgnifloant fact stands out with
a prominence that will not allow
concealmont, that in tho Southern
States with Democratic governments
there are no disorders-no conflicts
of races -no troubles at tho polls;
while in the two or threo States of the
South in which Radicalism still re
tains rule, everything is feverish, sus
picious, excited and inflammatory.
No class feels secure iu cither per
sonal, political or property rights.
Tho races aro left to settle between
themselves difficulties which such a
condition of things must occasional
ly brlug on; or if tho authorities
rauko an effort to repress disorders
uud punish offenders, it is only by
appeals to Washington for military
Interference—thus acknowledging in
competenoy und lack of popular oon
lidenco. The only party that can
maiutuln local self-goveruineut in
the Southern States is tho Demo
cratic party, as has been abundantly
proved, und tho sooner politicians
all over the country reoognizo this
fact, the sooner will all the troubles
of Southern “reconstruction” be at
an end.
IIKAIITIFtJI, AMI SWEET.
Tho following lines have been
handed to us for publication. We
understand that they were written
by a lady from Columbus, nowin the
Georgia Lunatic Asylum, who re
quested Mrs. Brown, the Matron,
to accompany her to tho river
bank, telling her she would
thero write for her some pretty poet
ry. They went to the river, nnd
there, sitting on iv rock, this little
poem wus written. The lady who
wrote it was one of tho “sweetest
singers” in Georgia boforo her men

Sweet Mill low was tho river’s eong.

Margined by tall, maj.vtn- trees,
All musical with perfumed breeze.

P. N. STANTON TO THE FRONT AGAIN.
From the Mubilo Trlbuuo of the stk.]
The purchasing bondholders, who
bought the Alabama A; Chuttanooga
Railroad, two or three yeras ago, for
$1,300,000 and failed to pay for it, did
not bid on it at the sulo yesterday, by
order of the United States Circuit
Court, in front of the custom-house.
Major T. M. Lebaron, the auction
eer employed by Robert W. Heuly
and Nathaniel W. Trimble, Master
Commissioners, at twelve o’clock an
nounced tlie sale of the Aiubamu &
Chattanooga Railroad, Gen. Heaiy
read the advertisement that was pub
lished by order of the court, and when
ho had concluded, Mr. ,1. L. Smith
mounted the auctioneers’ block and
said he had two natiers to read for
the information of parties interested.
The tlrst set forth that the State of
Alabama had a superior Hen, which
would prevent a title to the purchas
er under the present salo. Being
asked by whose authority ho repre
sented the case, an answer was given
by Mr. K. H. Smith, of the firm of R.
H. & It. Inge Smith, that his Arm rep
resented the lien of tho State, which
will bo maintained for the benellt of
tho bondholders.
The other paper related to the Ala
bama and Chattaiioogeo Railroad
sinking fund, created by State legis
lation.
Next comes forward Stephens
Groom, representing tho State of Mis
sissippi, to which the railroad owes
taxes for 1874 and 1875, amounting to
between six and seven thousand dol
lars, with tho penalties added, which
claim constitutes a lien on tlmt part
of the property of the road In that
State.
And now come J. Little Smith, of
the Arm of Herndon Jt Smith, repre
senting a largo number of holders of
laborer’s liens.
J. Little Smith asked the master
commissioners what they proposed
to tako iu satisfaction of the SIOO,OOO
cash payment by the purchaser or
purchasers—whether actual cash or
claims.
Gen. Healey replied that they
would require actual cash, certified
checks or aecoptod drafts, such as
any bank of good stunding here
would negotiate.
Then Sam Rice came to the front,
ns the representative of certain in
terests affected by the salo of the
road.
The ldddiug then eotnmenoed, nnd
Maj. Leßaron called for a bid to start
with. E. H. Grandiu bid $100,(KK);
then Gen. Tyler, President or the
Mobile & Montgomery Railroad, bid
$105,000. Next hid was $110,(KK), fol
lowed by bids of $200,000, $250,000,
$2C0,000, $275,000, $280,000, $200,000
und $300,000, which last was tho bid
of Gen. Tyler, who retired from the
Held, when Mr. Grandin run it up to
$310,000, at which price it was knock
ed off by tho auctioneer at 22 minutes
past 12.
Mr. Grandiu gavo tho name of A.
P. Baloh as tho purchaser. It is
stated Mr. Baloh is a Boston man,
from which city came Mr. Daniel N.
Stanton, the projector of tho road, in
whose interest tho purchase is sup
posed to liavo been made.
The only competing bidders were
Judge Grnndin and Gen. Tyler.
The SIOO,OOO cash, it was stated be
fore the sale, had to be paid by 4
o’clock yesterday afternoon ; other
wise the road Would bo ro-solu under
the same advertisement.

DOOMS DEMOCRATIC CONSERVATIVE )
State Central Committee,
New Orleans, Sept. 23, 1876.)
lion. Alpltnnso Taft, Attorney General
of" the United States, Washington,
Sir ; As we are iu receipt of informa
tion that under instructions from
your Department of tho Government,
the U. S. Marshal and Deputy Mar
shals are about to inaugurate a series
of arrests for alleged offenses against
the election laws of tho United Spates,
I am directed to request that for the
better protection of citizens in their
right to speedy examination and bail,
that the United States Marshals and
Deputy Marshals be instructed by
your Department to convey the ac
cused, when arrested, before tile near
est or most convenient. United States
Commissioner for preliminary exam
ination. The practice has been to bring
such persons to this city from remote
parts of the State, often several
hundred miles distant, leaving the
parties, when hailed, to defray their
expenses home. This, coupled with
the consequent prolonged absence
from home, at a critical moment to
their crops and business, inflicts an
unnecessary hardship upon the par
ties accused, which will he obviated
by recourse to tho United States
Commissioners at Natohitoohes,
Shreveport. Monroe, and elsewhere.
We deem the request under the cir
cumstances, a reasonable one, and.
in the' interest of the execution of
the law according to your instruc
tions. we ask of you a favorable con
sideration of this application. Hop
ing to hear in reply at an early day.
I liavo the honor to be, very respect
fully, your obedient servant.
I. W. Patton,

Dwahtment of Justice, i
Washington, Sept. 29,1876. : (
I. W. Patton, Esq., New Orleans, La. :
Sib—Yours of the 22d instant, ad
dressed to the Attorney General, is
before me.
A circular letter was sent to the
United States Attorney for Louisiana
on the 18th inst.. Instructing him to
lie “careful that tho Marshal and his
deputies aro well informed of what Is
required by their duty as well to the
public as to tho party arrested—both
in making arrests, whether witli or
without process, and in dealing with
such party after arrest.”
It. is not practicable for the Attorn
ey General to take charge of details
incident to arrests in the various
States. He can do no more than give
general instructions, believing ttint
the United States officers in the dif
ferent localities know their duty, and
undera sense of that duty and their
own responsibility are disposed to
perform it.
I trust, in the first place, that there
may he in Louisiana no reason for
making arrests of the sort to which
yon refer, but if thero be, then, that
no person may have good ground to
complain of anything incident there
to.
Very respectfully, your obedient
servant, S. F. Phillips,
Acting Attorney General.
