TIM SOUTHERN SI ATES.

Charleston sends a coloured Democrat named
Smith to stump the North for Seymour and
Blair, as a campaign movement to settle Northern
disbelief in such an animal as a Carolina negro DC:
mocrat. The Georgia Legislature adjourned till
January, when it will reassemble at Milledgeville.
Before adjourning a bill was passed making uniform
all election tickets, to prevent frauds. Also mea-
sures granting $3,000,000 in aid of the State rail-
ways, which we hope the Government may be able
to get, though we cannot help doubting the fact in
the face of a coadition of things revealed by tue
Camilla riot. " Let our motto," exclaimed the
speaker after turning out the last representative
who was supposed to have one-eighth of negr
blood in his veins, "be wisdom, justice,
and mode-
ration, and all will be well." Talking about thi4,
last coloured gentleman, a grave discussion was bell
over him, as to all appearance he was quite white,
and he denied having any negro blood in his vei.a.
The Legislature examined into his pedigree, an
considering the charge proved, sentenced him to be
turned out, and turned out, he accordingly was. .f
message of sympathy was sent to the coloured meri,
thus deprived of their seats, by their brethren
New York, who at a convention discussed the sub'
ject. Major-General Meade wrote the following
letter to General Grant, in transmitting the report
and the accompanying affidavits of Capt. Mills
Head-quarters Department of the South,
Atlanta, Oct. 3, 1868.
Sir,—You have been apprised that on receiving hitt
gene° of the disorders occurring in this State, on the 'd
ult., at Camilla, in Mitchell County, that I at once
troops in readiness to meet any call of the civil author'
ties, such as are referred to in the letter of instructions
from the General-in-Chief, of date Aug. 25, 1868, and
at the same time I despatched Capt. Mills, a most reliable
and intelligent officer, in whose cool, sound judgmenid
and freedom from any prejudice or party bias, ercw,,,is
depend to investigate thoroughly and report the 13--r
in the case. The affair passing off with the riot, 0
rather collision, of the 19th ult., and no call having
been made on me, the Legislature (as I think, proper'?
declining the request of the Governer to authorise hi
to make the call, no troops were sent, The report 0,
Captain Mills was yesterday received, and after its perg,
sal I deemed the only thing for mo to do was to tral?sil
mit it to the Governor of the State, the officer wita
whom I am required to communicate, and to assure
him that in any measures that might be taken by ,i,
civil authorities in the investigation of the affair eu
punishment of derelict civil officers or citizens, that
case he met with resistance, and he or they found theOr;
selves unable to execute the laws, I was prepared, °be
being so informed, to aid sod co-operate with him to t
fullest extent of the force under my command. My lett
to the Governor, the report, and accompanying docualOof
of Captain Mills, are herewith forwarded by the handiebo
Captain M'Kibbon, United States Army, and shoulu
pleased to receive any comments thereon which yours()
the honourable Secretary of War, or the President 10s
please to make. I deem it proper to add that in a few,ds,,Ys
1 shall distribute the troops in the Department w' G,
view of aiding the civil authorities to keep the
during the approaching Presidential election.--j re
