DEAD ISSUES.

Issues, so-called, constitute the
only vital principles of democracy
and are not dead but liveth. They
are issues which involve the asser-
ton or denial as to whether there
are any limitations of power in the
Constitution upon administrative pol
icy. Admit that Congress may do,
as it has done in reconstructing the
Southern States, and democracy and
Constitutions are alike worthless.
But, it is another question as to
the treatment of these issues. The
usurpations Of Congress are estab-
lishcd for the time being and are
beyond the power of the democracy
to abolish, and the suggestion may
be most judicious to leave the ques-
ton out of the approaching cam
paign, win the fight upon admins
trative issues and trust to democrat
ic instincts when dominant to right
the ship of State. Such are the
policy questions now exercising the
democratic press.

CLANS.

Georgia is not SO bad off in the
Clan line as Kentucky. In this
State there have been only seeming
instances of outrages perpetrated by
Clans. May they never seem again
to do outrage to the majesty of law.
In Kentucky they have been bold
and daring threatening the Railroad
and visiting the State Capitol. The
CoWier-JOwnal, in behalf of law
and order says:
"For our part, we do not care
who are embraced in the gang of
sneak thieves and scoundrels style
ing themselves Kuklux who infest
the region indicated. BE they Rad
icals in disguise or Democrats in dis
guise, they are ruffians and rascaIs
without disguise, and it is our duty
OF exterminatc them. This is the

THE NEGRO REPRESENTATIVES,.

The Washington correspondent of
the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
thus describes the negro representa-
tives in the present Congress
There are five members of the
new House of Representatives who
are negroes.
Josiah 4. Walls, from Florida, is
of very decided ebony hue. He
sported to-day tlaShy shoo-hy era
vat, and his hair kinked SO tight
that it kept his mouth OPEN
He will never stand in need of the
curling tongs. Ben Turner, from
Alabama, is a very large black mig
ger. lie looks like an ass-very
sleepy, very greasy. Pure African
scent, no Caucasian blood trickles
through his veins. 1t looks dark in
the House all around him.
South Carolina contributes three
darkies. DeLarge is quite bright,
pumpkin color, and is acceptable as
substitute for Bowen. He is re-
puted son of the late Judge Pctigru,
/ of Charleston. Elliott you recog-
nize at once as nothing more or less
than plain corn-feld negro. He
has what is known as a shovel face,
and could readily eat peas out of 4
bottle. Fifteen inches must inter
vene between the back of his head
and the front of his mouth. His
complexion is ofthe style of shoe
that has been BACKED but not pol
ished. He would pass connecting
link between a gorilla and a pure
negro. Rainey, the barber, you
have heard about---he puts ON many
airs as he shows his fellows around.
When these members from the
South who desired to take the test
oath presented themselves before
the bar of the House. disgust ran riot.
\ crew of miserable, spawning vag-
abonds, they shocked all the sensi-
bilities of human nature.

they were attacked and repulsed.

MARIETTA & NORTH GEORGIA
RAILROAD

Much has been said about the
building ofthis Road and much val
liable breath has been spent in argu-
ments pro and con the undertaking.
We think this enterprise ought to be
encouraged for several reasons, one
or two of which we will give the
readers of the JOURNAL.
One reason why the undertaking
should be sustained is because of the
great advantage it will be to Marietta,
1t would vastly increase the impor-
lance of the place, its trade and
business prosperity. A Road like
the one proposed would do more to
build up and beautify our town than
almost any enterprise would. Bus
mess men would flock to the place,
and Marietta would more than re-.
gain all the prosperity, she ever
had.
Another reason why the Road
should be built is because it would
open an avenue of trade and trans
por:ation, and afford near market
to thousands of North Georgia farm.
ers. The land on the line of the
Road would bring triple and quad
ripple the price it now brings. To
push this project through will require
energy, perseverance, and business
enterprise. The people of Marietta
and of the counties through which
it is intended to be built, should see
to it that these nccessarics arc not
wanting, and that sufficient capital
be raised at least to build the Road
ten miles SO as to secure State aid in
order to more easily complete it.
Let this be done and NJ. & N. G.. r.
r., will become familiar initials.

THE 1RREPRBss1BLE CONFLICT.

lision OF the races. The negro mill
tia in some parts offs. Carolina, arm
ed and equipped, are enactmg the
role Of the conqueror and sclt-prc-
servation, which overrides all other
law, prompts to self-protection.-
We do not believe, however, that
there is an irrcpressible conflict be-
tween the races to end only in the
destruction of the one or the other,
Bad and ignorant negroes, where
numerically dominant, will doubtless
provoke such a conflict bat, we
think, Providence has in store a
more charitable provision for the dis
position of the negro race among us,

respective missions until the time
has come when this will be indeed

THE OUTRAGE COMMITTEE

Reconstruction seems far from be-
ing completed. a committee of the
l.. 5. Senate has been for some time
engaged in taking testimony of law
lessness prevailing in the South in
order to further control Of our do
mestic affairs. The Committee re-
ported on the 10th summing up
"1hat ku-KluX does exist, is COM
posed of members of the Democratic
or Conservative party, has pOliti-
cal purpose, and sought to carry its
purposes by murders, whippings, in
timidation and violence against its
opponents. 1t binds its members to
carry out DEGREES OF crime, and pro-
tects them against conviction"
The minority report Is also quite
long, and concludes:
"The number of these outrages,
detestable and wicked as they are, is
nevertheless grossly and wildly ex-
aggerated and this no one can
deabt who will examine the testi.
mony, and has had any knowledge
Of the credulity and inaccuracy Of
the statements characteristic of our
well meaning colored people"

FEDERAL BAYONETS FOR THE
SoUru.-General Sherman has or
dered general transfer of troops,
and takes occasion quietly to send
two additional regiments and bat
terry of artillery to the South. Gen.
Grant, in conversation with some of
the members Of the new Congress a
day or two since, said that he hoped
Congress would not adjourn until it
had provided some better means of
protection for loyal people nm that
section; and putting these facts to-
gether, there remains little doubt
that decisive steps are to be taken
to preserve the peace here by means
of iudicious distribution of military
police.-AagaSta ConStitutionalist.

corn, meat, wooden ware, furniture,
brooms and many other articles,
when with proper encouragement all
these articles, could be supplied by
