The following were adopted at a mas,
meeting Of the Republicans Of Chatham
county, held in the city Of Savannah, Thurs
day night, November Is, 1873:
Whereas His Excellency James NJ. Smith
Governor Of the state OF Georgia, ia recent
speech before the state Agricultural Conycn-
ton, advocated TIE policy Of 20 amending
the laws that the planters may control their
labor, and declared that the General Assem-
bly, may hold inyiolatc every law Of the United
States and still 50 legislatr upon the labor
system as 10 retain the old plantation sys-
TEN, or in lieu Of that establish a baronial
one; and
Whereas Il secret society, known A.
Oranges" or Patrons OF liu.bamdry, has
been organized in the State for the ayOTci
purpose, among other thines, OF cauyH. out
the principles cnunciated hyGoycrnor Smith /.
and
Whereas Governor Smith was elected hy
the Democratic party, and IS therefore Use
recognized exponent Of the principles Of that
party in the state; and
Whereas the Governors policy 10 control
labor has been sustained by the Democratic
press Of the State. and the Democratic party
now in power evidently intends to 50 leg.siata
as to control labor, and as means 10 that
end, seeks TO keep the labOring lass in ignO-
rance, as is shown in this aud rlheT cOUutics
OF the State; and
Whereas the Board % Education Of Chat

wisdom of the Almighty, has been called
upon to follow to the grave the remains oil
one OF its brother members, John n. Cole

FORT STANTON, New MEXICO,
November 3, 1873.
r, the Editor Of tie Ns,o Natioaar Era and caisea:
In my letter Of September Sth, l wrote that
fight was anticipated in the vicinity Of this
post between the troops under Major W. Il.
Rice and the Indians, but we have been dis
appointed. The troops have had to march
day and night in order to bag even few of
the reds, and have even followed them far
down into Texas without having had chance
to make q good strike. 1t was hoped that
long e'er this that the troops would force the
seem determined not to come in and as they
have an immense range Of country to travel
over, it will prove tough work to subdue
them. Since wrote some nineteen or more
have been captured and brought into the
post, but have since been released, and we are
now cncamped near the agency. There are
in all about two hundred and fifty now in the
reservation, but how many are still out it is
impossible TO say.
Judging from appearances hostilities will
be carried on all the winter, or until such
tine as the Indians all come IN. The troops
are scouting continually, and no doubt will
finally make good haul and if they can
but succeed in killing few, the general inn
preston is that they will come to terms, as
they are living on horse meat, as seen by
their deserted camps in the mountains.
Yours, &c., GEO. AsHBRIDGE.

the LOuIalana State Civil
Rights Convention

We take the following able effort from the
New Orleans Republican of the 22d ultimo:
Senator Pinchback mounted the platform
amidst the cheers and applause of the assem-
blage. Stepping forward on the stand Senator
Pinchback proceeded to state that, owing to
the importance Of the occasion, and this
being an opportunity which seldom presents
itself for free and candid expression, he had
thought it proper, quite contrarily to his
habits, to have for the occasion a prepared
address, in which he had reviewed the most
vital points concerning the obligations that
this convention was called upon to fulfill.
After few words Of apology. pronounced
with that placid and self-possessed manner
characteristic Of the gentleman, Senator
Pinchback spoke as follows:

TO TIE Editor efMe Nt,o National Era aud Citizen:
In the death of Miss Josephine Vosburgh,
of this city, which occurred on the evening
of the 18th instant, colored society not only
here, but elsewhere has sustained a loss
which at its present stage Of advancement it
could ill afford.
While she lived, being constant in those
duties which only pure fllial affection begets,
Industrious to fault, kind and obliging in
all her relations, she was living example
of what true affectionate child and COM
panion should be; and in the calm, quiet
resignation which she evinced through her
sickness and in the hour of death, we see the
example of true Christian. Josephine was
girl that delighted to dwell in the region of
practicability rather than in the realm of
istering to the wants of her parents, or sooth-
ing the brow of a sick brother, or feeding a
little hungry waif than she did in fritting
away her time in reading Of what others had
done.
Her funeral, which took place from the
this city, on the afternoon of the odd instant,
was very numerously attended by her former
associates and acquaintance, consisting in
part OF her classmates at the High SCHOOL,
her Sabbath School companions, and her mu-
steal pupils. The choir of the Wesleyan
spersed the services with sweet and appro-
pirate music, while the abundance of beau
tiful flowers, lavishly bestowed and artist
cally fashioned by loving hands, made the
air redolent with their fragrance.
This is the third and last child which Prov
idencc has seen fit to take away from the
afflicted parents-One having been acciden.
tally scalded to death during infancy, another
(Albert, most promising youth, just enter
ing manhood) having died only four months
ago and lastly Josephine, the hope of her
parents, and an ornament to our society
Her parents, who are now childless, have the
hearty sympathy of all who know them in
this, in their hour Of deep distress.

A man in Ulster county, who recently
on wager of twenty-five dollars, ate an
eleyen-pound boiled ham, four pounds OF
corned beef, two loaves of bread and three
pies, and drank twelve cups of coffee in an
hour and ha:f, now wants to bet one hun.
dred dollars he can eat at one sitting all the
food that is prepared for a double wedding
party at the Madison House, Troy, this
month.
A conductor on Troy and Boston freight
train had wonderful escape last Tuesday
Just as his train started, he, in his haste to
get on, missed his footing and fell under the
cars. He was pushed along BY brake until
he reached the cattle-guard, and into this he
fell, thus escaping death by the only possible
| chance.
There is a man in San Francisco who
has peculiar idea about the workings OF the
law. A few days ago dog belonging to q
neighbor bit his little daughter severely, and,
with its owners consent, he shot the brute
Whereupon policeman arrested him Tor dis,
charging firearms within the city limits, and
he has been convicted and compelled to pay
a fine of twenty dollars.

The saloon steamship designed by
Mr.. Bessemer, to make sea-sickness i'm
possible, is well under way at Hull,
England. The framing is nearly COM
plete, and good part OF the outer plat
ing has been put on. The steamer is
three hundred and fifty feet long, forty
feet broad inside of her paddle boxes,
and two thousand seven hundred and
seventy four tons burden She will be
driven by two sets of paddle-wheel en-
giues, situa ed one hundred and six feet
apart, the aggregate power Of the en-
gines being no less than four thousand
and six hundred horse power. Tho two
ends of the ship are alike, and each wi
be furnished with rudder. Her most
characteristic feature is her saloon,
which will be seventy feet long and
thirty feet wide, and suspended upon
massive pivots at the centric and at the
extremities. Thus supported it will be
brought under the control Of powerful
hydraulic gear, worked by the principal
boilers of the ship. This gear will be
80 arranged that it is expected man
will be able to impart to the saloon a
rolling motion in relation to the ship
precisely the reverse of that which the
ship herself receives The engines, it
is anticipated, will drive the vessel of
speed exceeding twenty miles an hour.
