THE rnshot OF the Georgia neelo a.,
~. ,,,rna mt 10 be ridiculous affair." ine
negroes seemed not to know wha' wy
an,ed and what they were to do. ie;ir
stories are muddled and show no '">'nou,
and Of course, no judgment. hey hao
voonc notions about rights apd priVations
and .. IN how they were to re rghted OUT
they all knew there was to be mustering'a anu
fuss.making, aud some thought possibly
sch,ing. They never lost sight OF tues anu
,,nec,. and the sotemnity Of parades ana
official consequence.
Thsre Is another thing that seemed to De
| ,,rermost in their minds. They were Pc
| cnt,arly related to the Government, ana
1 were bound to do whsteyer The Government
commanded. The more Ingenious rasesls
impressed upon their comrades the notion
that sundry benefits were to be expected
from the Government, including the IRE
pressiote "mule and eorty acres" rs re.
wards for their devotae1; and they were at
the next presidential election to "Vote iof
GRANT to be King"
Nevertheless, let cot people suppose t1at
there might not he serious circumstances
growing out of these wild notions OF par
baasu minds. Collisions and lamentaose re,
suits might grew out of very farcFal anu
sity capers OF tlse late slaves. They are JUS.
the ipdiyiduaGs who might 10 the Whit OF
excitement become temporarily aggressive
)! and In a auurg pull trigger. They "ouFA
like as not TUE the next instant; but such q
provocztior would probably excite PASSION
, for revenge THAT could not be shaken Oh 'ssS
3 readily, and that might dc some harm peSol'
, it could he checked.
Now. ttss Georgia affair'we strong's sus
. pecssd was engineered with the view
misunderstanding southern horrors" we art
= NOT f1,ly satisfied taat'it>Tas not originated
for that purpose. But, whether OF aot thi
WIS 50, the affair is ridiculous, an'l as far al
a ,estiraeny has shed light upon it, very inslg'
,ifcart. No capita! can be made of it b5s
Radicals. Such has been the good gudgmen'
aud s,lf.possessiou of the whTs anhsDitane'
, thetpo earthly ceapaint c,n be inside agans
, thau: and the fairness and marked klndnes:
of the legal authorities were such that they
ares commended in all quarters Even tht
i. I.hse Attorney Geueral WILLIAMS could have
. made no horrors out of this Georgia Tagary.
We observe that meeting OF negroes is
l,.yed in Sindersville, Gu, on the 18Th Sep
tar,ber to arrange for emigration to some
other State. This is significant. That tht
: negroes and the whites both would better
!: be separated, aud each would be more hap
. .,Sly situated il left to themselves, we have
40 doubt. Certainly the whites can never
! have their own energies unembarrassed ant
!, their own social condition at rest as Ions
:; tas they have in the bosom Of their society
4 an inferior race, as distinct from theirs
as possible, upon footing of legal equality
with them while equality is impossible
Separation and independence Of each Other
2 are demanded by nature and policy, and th
t G eorgia negroes, in speaking of emigration
4 are taking the best way to get from under TIT
Q inequalities of which they complain, and say
t ling themselves from collisions In the effort t
2 defend their rights from imaginary wrongs
