o civil officer ofsthe State, an break
ing up this unlawful assemblaoe.
We felt that, as their numbers vastly
exceeded that of our,citizens present,
that. ifthis neetinglhad taken place,
the lives OF our wives and children
would be at the mercy Of an infatuated
mob. While the oonsed uences t.re
tche regretted, and we do not boast
of. what was done by our people, we
feel that they have but discharged o
painfnl duty imposed upon them by
wicked and corrupt white men now
engaged in leading astray into acts of
lawlessness, the oolored people OF
our country. We appeal to the law
making powers of Georgia and the
lawful authorities of the United
States Government, to check the
progress of these strolling criminals,
that are prowling about the homes
and disturbing the peace and quiet
OF our stricken people,"
The foregoing statements from the
military and civil authorities, give
the full particulars of the riot. The
Governor addressed message to the
Legislature, recommending that the
President be petitioned for troops.
The matter is being considered to-
day.
8 P. M.-The, following is from
Judge Vason and VIM. johnson, who
were requested by Lieut.. Howard, Of
the Freedmen's Bureau, to investi-
gate the matter:
.'We left Camilla this day, at noon.
All was then quiet, and there were no
apprehensions felt of further trou-
BILE. The act of the citizens was
under the order of the sheriff; they
acted as his posse in the whole affair.
The negroes in the County are all
quiet, and no bad feeling exists be-
tween them and the whites, growing
out of the affair. But few negroes
were present except those in the pro-
cession. There is no necessity for
any additional force to protect whites
or blacks. The wounded negroes
will be cared for, and have the SYM
pathy of the whites. The whole diff
ficulty originated in the right claimed
by Murphy, Pierce & Co., to carry
negroes into political meeting with
arms. The sheriff disputed this
right, who insisted that, under the
proclamation of the Governor and
the law, 1T was his duty as civil
officer to prevent. No excitement in
Albany" This document was signed
II. A. Vason and t. H. johnson.
Yason and Johnson, and Mr.. Clark,
q Northern man who came South
since the war, certify to the good
character of the parties making the
sworn statements, which, with Va
son and Johnson's report, were laid
before both Houses, and which de-
termined their discussion relative to
the Governor's message and refusal
to ask the President for aid to main
tain order.

Congress from the second District,

seventy-fve colored persons, en- route
to Camilla, where Pierce and Muir
ply were to deliver political ad-

the erelator being in advance, was
accosted by an armed and mounted
white man, who at first stated that
he was in search of doctor, to at
tend a friend-a man who had been
hurt by the falling of tree; but who
subsequently stated that he was q
courier, and asked the relator and
others Of the party who had over
taken him, not to 60 to town; that
the people there were determined
that the radicals should not speak in
Camilla. That Notwithstanding the
warming, the party moved on towards
Camilla, when they were met by the
Sheriff and posse, who accosted
Captain Pierce. and who was assured
by Captain Pierce that he desired
and intended to speak in Camilla, on
political subjects. The Sheriff en-
deavored to dissuade him from doing
SO, telling him that the people would
not permit that. The Sheriff then
went back into Camilla, and again
returned, saying he had done ali in

from violence, but with no avail:
that the party moved on the town: !:
that Pierce and Pntney entered the

GENERAL GRANT.

Gen. Grants nomination for the
presidency, was originally made by
the bond-hoIders of New York, head
ed by A. I. Stewart, the fancy dry
goods merchant and bond-holder mil
lionaire. The radicals and bond-hold-
ers are going to support Grant for the
presidency on the platform of high
taxes and gold for the bond.holders
and rags for the people.
The radicals charge the Democratic
party with being immoral and sup
porting immoral men /; yet it is quite
evident that they will support Gen.
Grant for the presidency man who
is guilty of official duplicity and ly-
ing, and one of whose besetting sins
according to Wendell Phillips and
other radical magnates-is that of san
inveterate drunkard." We would ask
conservative radicals how they could
support such a man? If Grant has
lied to, and deceived the President,
what assurance have they that he will
not lie to and deceive them ? If he
will lie to one man he will lie to an
other. If he will deceive one man he
will deceive another. If he will play
false to n man or set of men he
will, when occasion seems to require
it, cajnle, and deceive, and play false
to other men. A man may be excusable
for being bitten once but if he let a
man deceive him again, notorious for
deception and falsehood, he has none
to blame but himself So, if the
Radicals run and elect Grant, and he
deceive them, as Johnson has, and as
Tyler and Fillmore did their progeni.
tors, the Whigs,-they will have none
to blame but themselves. This thing
of electing a renegade Democrat to
Office is very dangerous to Radical
ism. 1t would seem that the Demo.
cratic leaven will work out somehow
the blood will come to the surface
occasionally. Past history shows this
to be true. Hence Grant is unsafe
is unreliable. He may step upon the
radical platform with aIacrity but
after he has taken his seat, he viii
probably kick over the ladder BY
which he has attained to power. Al
we have already said,-if he has de
ceived and lied to President johnson
why may he not deceive and lie tx
others? If he will do it in the on.
case he will in the other.
