The Election In Georgia
Another State has been enshrouGed with
the sombre pail. Georgia, following her
sister Southern States-Virginia, Ala
bama and LOuisiana-has been swept into
the black radical vortex. Briefly, we may
regard the entire ten unrecOnstructedS0u
ern States-with, possibly, one or two ex
ceptions-as forced 10y a secret and over
whelming revolutionary influence to a com
mon and inevitable fate They are all 60
ing one way. They are all bound to be
governed by blocks, spurren on by worse
than Dlacks-white wretches who dare not
show their faces III respectable white soci-
ETY. anywhere.
This is the most abOminable phase bar
barism has assumed since the dawn OF civil
ization. 1t was all right and proper to put
down the rebellion. 1t was ali right, per-
haps, to emancipate the slaves, although
the right to hold them had been acknowl-
edged before. But it is not right to make
slaves of white men, even though they may
have been former masters of blacks This
is but change in system of bondage that
is rendered the more odious and intolera-
bic because it has been inaugurated in an
enlightened instead of dark and uncivil-
| lied age.
The Romans, in the height Of their
triumphs, handed the government of con-
quered kingdoms over to the white races
who peOpled them-never to negroes. 1t
appears, then, that the radicals are reced-
| ing from the condition of civilization which
| marked the era even of the cid Romans.
They are creating black governments In
the South, which will not only destroy the
industrial interests of that section Of the
country, but overturn all the established
safeguards of civilized society and lead to
after barbarism; to implant upon the soil
the interior Of Africa-human slaughter,
slavery in its most hideous shape, mental
ignorance and Paganism.
melted by creatures like Hunnlcutt, II
Richmond, the blacks in their Ignorance
are made TO believe that not only the ebay

ism or a common distribution Of property
also. They are now crazy for the promised
spoils, and the acts Of outrage daily chronl
cIed, with threats Of personal violence, ano
lsecret but peremptOry orders OF expatr1a
ton against obnoxious whites, illustrate
their infatuated disposition. This the rad

| Their acts are in violation OF the wise cOun
ellis of Gems. Grant and Sherman, who have
reason to be as competent judges OF what
is good for the newly enfranchlsed race az
