TIE APPROACHING SESSION

An Atlanta writer for the Macon
Telegraph & Messenger circulates
rumor that a ring is formed to en-
ploy all the influence possible to have
a straight-out State Rights organize
ton of the Legislature-lookiug to
the impeachment of Gov. Bullock
and the notification of the State
Road lease.

Some Of our people seem to think
that New England may be made to
fear that if State Rights are com
pIetelv abolished that section may
be made subordinate to others more
extensive and popuiou5, But the
slrewd yankee is too cunning to De
thus intimidated. He knows that
with the destruction of State rights
comes consolidation-an end Of Sec
tionaI and of majority government,
and of all insecurity arising there
from. and if he can manipulate the
new order of things, bis section will
have little to fear, no matter how
absolute may be the despotism en-
ployed to bring order out of chaos
How is it with the people of our
section. Are we aiding this con-
summation sought by the Mortimer
as we aided the abolition of slavery
and the loss of all our rights-by
playing into their hands ? }. @.
Adams told us thirty years ago that
the north could never reach slavery
under the Constitution; but that it
could agttate and urge the South to
war and that under the war power
everything they desired could be
accomplished.-And we played it
out for them! And now we are to
be made the instruments to be en-
ployed in perfecting the Empire. -
We who defed the north and waged
a bloody and exhaustive struggle in
defense of State Rights and while
yet the memory of that bitter strug
gle stirs the northern heart with dis
trust and fear, we must still appear
upon the scene as the champions 0
creed which brought to us disaste
in war and in peace all that system
of military government which give
no promise of an end until the soun'
of State rights can awaken no fea
in the northern mind.
Had we not better be silent
there are in the north friends Of Con
stitutional Recommendations {
liberty-let them avow their princi
ples-choose their order of battle
and let the South bide her time.
there are no such people in the mort
then the South is helpless and ever
boisterous demonstration of Stat
Rights would be contemplate if
! did not bring one after mothe
, those imperial proclamations whic
| while they teach us of the march
Empire, should teach us also Of OF
! impotence for defence and the foil
of our provocations.

The Darien Journal of the 18th
says: Work on the Brunswick and
Albany, and cambridge, Cuthbert
and Columbus Railroads has been
suspended. On the former from the
Notchaway Creek west, and the lat
ter from Cuthbert north. Rumor
has it that the managers and con-
tractors have completed SO much of
these roads as they had received in
dorsed State bonds for, and that they
were doing the work just suspended
on borrowed Northern capital. A
financial crisis in the North has in
duced the capitalists there to offer
the suggestion of suspending for the
present.

rHD JACKSON COUNTY KU KLUx

THD JAChSON COON nv AS~N'
The dir Line Eagle gives the fol-
lowing statement in connection with
the parties now under arrest in At
lanta for violating the Ku-KluX law
"Somotime in July, or August last,
this man Holiday gave out that he
had been attacked by Ku-Klux, but
after a most sanguinary and heroic
conflict on his part, he succeeded in
driving them off. AT tilst the people
we're disposed to credit Holidays
statements although they were wholly
ignorant of the existence of any such
organization, believing if Holidays
statements were true, the parties
must have come from a great dis
lance. A public meeting was held,
composed Of all the good citizens OF
the neighborhood, in which resolu-
tons were passed, condemning, in
the strongest terms, such lawless
conduct, and binding themselves to
bring to trial and punishment all who
should violate the law. Thus mat
tiers stood for time. Very soon
doubts began to arise as to the truth
of Holidays statements, and SubSe-
ouent developments have satisfied
the minds of the people in that vi.
entity that the whole thing is hoax.
For some time past Holiday has been
associated almost wholly withnegroes
and it has leaked out that he has
been regularly meeting them in con-
vention, and using every argument
to prejudice their minds against the
whites. This has come through some
of the negroes themselves, and is
corroborated by a train of circum-
stances sufficient to satisfy every nn-
preiudicod mind in the country
Those young men who have been
arrested are all near neighbors to
Holiday, and it is now believed by
the best citizens in Jackson county,
who are familiar with all the circum-
stances, that it has been dene through |
sinister motives, and to crafty the |
9romptings of a malignant heart.

GRANTS PROCLAMATION

A Washington dispatch in the
Courier-Journa of Saturday, says;
The Ku-klux proclamation to-day
turns out to be a most important
step in new policy to be pushed
toward the South. 1t is now known
positively that for more than six
weeks. or ever since the Ku-klux
Committee returned from the South,
the administration has had under
consideration a policy to be enforc-
ed, not only against the so-called
Ku-klux organization, but in the adj
ministration of federal civil affairs in
the South. There was no substan-
tial difference Of opinion among the
President and the Cabinet and the
leading Representatives who favored
this new order of things, except as
to the time when it should be en-
forced, and that accounts for the de-
lay until after the October cleo
tions,
MARTIAL LAW,
The proclamation is, therefore,
/ but the forerunner OF martial law
and the suspension Of the writ OF
habeas corpus, as provided by the
fourth section of the act of April 20,
which says that any Ku-klux organ
ization or combination shall be
deemed rebellion against the gov
eminent, the limits Of which shall be
prescribed by proclamation com.
manding the insurgents to disperse
before the privileges Of the witt o.
| habedS corpus are suspended.
WHOLESALE ARRESTS.
A prominent minister of the Cos
pei, and also a leading Republican
stated to-day that the arrangement
of the civil and military for whole
sale arrests of members Of the Ku
klux Khan had been perfected, ant
that the country would be surprised
{ if the proclamation were not needed
, by the arrest of well-known South
ern men.
Inasmuch as it is ayerred that out
RACES in the South are provoked b.
the corruption of officeholders an
r their plumber of the people, it is tn
intention of the President to begl
f warfare against all corrupt Fedora
officials and to invite the co-opera
= ton of all good Republicans for til
! displacement of bad State officials
: This is to go handin-hand with tn
= enforcement of the Ku-kluX law
f until it is stated that there is last
ing peace in the South.

Janet's Fortune.

"And when I die I shall leave my
fortune to the one who will use it te

Leeds, smiling from behind her specta

The Augusta Constitutionalist has
a narrowing story ola young girl who
in passing through that place on her
way homo from school, was found at
the depot and inveigled into an assig.
nation house by some seroundrel,
where she was kept until search was
made by her parents, who lived in
South Carolina, and who became
alarmed when she failed to arrive at
home at the time designated. Her
seducer, finding that her father was in
town looking for her, put her on a
train and sent her of to Atlanta. Her
father, with several excellent six
shooters and detective, was in hot
pursuit at last accounts.
