CoLORED PREACHER sHoTIN a1s PULPIT.
An member Of the Georgia Legls-
Iature, who was q Colonel in the Rebel
army, but who now subscribes himself
"a d1sgusted Democrat" writes from
Hawkinsville. Georgia, under date Of
September 2lst, as follows:
No longer ago than last night a col
ored preacher was shot in the pulpit Ia
the suburbs of this city, while he was
engaged in religious services, with his
people. Something like a week ago,
not far from this place, a negro preach
er was beaten so badly returning from
church that he died yesterday. The
clubs generally called Grant clubs,
among the negroes, are the theater of q
vast number of deaths, the leaders OF
officers are usually hunted and shot az
mere game. see no relief for the ne
groes of Georgia, except to remand the
State back to military power. And L
cannot see how Congress can do other
wise If the negro members OF the Leg
islature are declared ineligible; for ac-
cording to that theory, the COnstitu-
tiOnaL Amendment is not adopted
This much will tell the country; in
Georgia's present condition no fair cleo
tion can be held within her limits
Thousands of negroes must either vote
for Seymour, against their VIII or be
wisely to throw Georgia out of the
ELECTORAL count at the coming election.
PERSECUTION OF AN EDITOR IN GEORGIA.
J. Clarke Swayze, editor OF the Macon
Union, has long been lighting an un-
even fight with the Rebels of that sec
ton. These Rebels, having either
bought of or frightened away bis COM
positOrs so that he was compelled to re-
duce the size of his paper, that he may
be able to do all the work upon 10 him
SELF he thus salutes his enemies
'In the last month or two the Demoo-
racy of Macon have left no stone un-
turned that the turning would iuiurs
us, or tend to force The American Un-
ion to abandon its chosen field, or sink
1t into oblivion. It has been successful
thus far; it has forced us to the wall lt
has stripped us of the last assistant and
left US upon our own resources. Now
we strip for the fray-like the soldier
when he goes into battle-We carry no
surplus weight. We renew the contest
singlehandeds butWith redoubled de-
termination. We can publish The
american Union IN Macon, and our
friends and patrons ars patriots enough
to sustain us in the effort so that moth
ing now but the assassin shall hinder
us.
