A letter from an avoWed Republican
gf CtuciluaG to one OF our citizens, has
been sho-F1 10 which the following
passsge occurs: There isa growing dis
position 70 look Southwark Tor trade, snd
2 strong IEeBnation 60 sell lands at TIE
prevailing high prices here, ana invest
in the cheap lands Of the South. There
are two restraints, The b.st ID tia pre-
vRiliug idea ci want Of saIety and secs
r.ty wJish arises ont OF the newspaper
stOriqs Of murder zad assassination and
general lawiessBess, which you aDd I
know ere either altogether false or gTsgt-
ly exaggerated for political purposes.
TIE SECOND is the eKpensiveDess Of the
trip, as compared with our accustomed
rates. I ana fully persuaded that could
9iateF excUrsion tickets be arranged FOR
two OF taree months this winter, on the
sn opportunity OF seeing the country, by
stopping at such points of interest as
nigot attract him, 1t would 10 more 70
restore harmony and good feeling be-
tween these sections than Grants cleo
tion."
Oar citizeBs Siil Eeeolleet thst Judge
Carleton, af Indiana, frankly told the
citizens Of Augusta that the great need
bet tween the West and the South was in
tefc0urse. That hs idea Of a Southernsr
which prevailed, was thst he WAS some
thing after the order Of Psudour or an
italian Carbonari; that this idea was,
in 8 great measure. derived from partisan
pictorial prints and thst h9 himself was
seriously warned against undertaking
the trip, Democratic EieetOr, as be was
and that hs was sure that, could the peo-
pie Of Indiana mingle Is freely with the
people Of Georgia As he had done since
be mai entered the State, he was quite
sure there would not be found single
Republican who would indOrse the Re-
construction measures.
We have grouped together these facts
to direct public attention to them, to
meet as far as possible this " growing
disposition for emigration and travel
soathVard. So soon az the election ia
over it would seem reasonable that these
lying misTepTesentatioBs about Ku-klux
Klans and murders, ard sssassinstions
should cease, because they can bs no
logger used as political thunder, and we
have no d0uos ti&z our railroad suthori-
ties will further esnform 10 the demands
OF the times by extending the system
already in operation from Augusta
Of interchangeable excursion
BY any route.
