THE ISSUE

/ The press are largely discussing
the currency question, national bank
ling system, initiation, contraction,
specie resumption, etc, and regard
it as an issue Of the next Presidents
ial campaign.
The platform of dimes and dollars,
rag money and rafting coin, is impor
taut 10 a commercial point Of view,
but not so vital, politically, as to un :
wisely jeporadize the principles and
success of the democracy. Radical
ism, and the corrupt cormorants and
tax gatherers that are eating up the
fairness of the land and bleeding the
people of their life's blood, must be
overthrow, before national prosper
ity can be regained. An honest
and just administration of the gov.
eminent is what the people demand
Principles are enduring as the foun-
dation of the earth, and in the hour
of pressure, clamor, making plat
forms, choosing leaders and dallying
with policy, it may be possible to
initiate the "base Juden who threw
away pearl richer than all his
tribe"
The form Of our government has
been subverted by INSCRIPTIONS
usurpers, who have practically board
ed, on the high seas of freedom, the
good old ship of the Constitution,
and deliberately plundered, and in
cold blood murdered liberty and JUS
tice and are now living in pomp and
splendor off of thei: ill,gotten booty
and spoils drunk with power and
greedy to retain it, they are haunt-
ing the "bloody shirt of hate and
rancor, in the faces of the voters Of
the North to anger them against a
portion of their countrymen, trust
ing that they will not be displaced.
Therefore, the democratic party, as
the friend of Just and correct priuci
pies, reconciliation and constitution
al government, should hesitate to
drag in the currency issue or any
other issue, that would tend to di
vide our party strength in 1876,
and thereby defeat the success OF
the party and the hopes of the Peo>

STAND OF. BILL ALLEN.

Governor Allen, in reply to the
allegation Of his enemies that he had

MY HUSBAND.

Can there be found sweeter, dearer
words, to fond, loving wife, than
these, "My husband 7" He is her
life, her world Without hin, exis>
tence would be a dreary blank.
Should adversely and disgrace dark
en- bis name, she but loves him the
more for his sufferings. No music
is sweeter to her ear than his wel>
come step and voice. No picture
chat hangs on memorj S wall, " more
beautiful than her bridal eve, when
she vowed to love, honor and obey
him, her idol, her souls worship.
She would not wish the wings of time
to pluck from her memory one word
of love, or an act of devotion from
him to her +; ah no +! she prizes them
more than earth's riches She would
not wish Fame's hand to twine one
garland round her brow, that was un-
shared by him. Her love spreads
beyond herself and reaches far into
futurity. She pictures him in her
minds eye as aged and infrm, ling
eriug on the shores of time, awaiting
for the last dread summons to watt
his immortal soul to the regions Of
the blest. Does her love cease then,
or grow cold ! No, it grows brigl ter
and brighter, until she, too, joins her
loved one, her husband, in the land
where ali is love, joy, peace and hap
piness.

vile last Monday. Amos I. Aker~
man has been retained to defend
Harris and other prisoners. Two
hundred and twenty five witnesses
were subpunaed for tho defence
The charge of Judge Herschel v.
johnson, is remarkable for ability
and unbiased fairness, asking the
Jury to weigh impartially the testi>
mony, discarding all prejudice, and
forgetting the color Of The prisoners,
that Justice may be done, the digni-
ty of the law maintained and the
guilty be made to s&der.
The Grand Jury found true bills
against the following negroes,
charged with being engaged in an
attempted instruction IN Washing
ton county: Rev. Corday Harris,
Gen. Joseph Morris, Asa Gilmore,
Gen. Prince X. Rivers, of South

NOT SURPRISING.

This idea of Georgia negro in
surrection pcrvades other States
The idea among the negroes that the
land is theirs, and that their fathers
earned it by their labor, has been
preached to them for years, until
they have become imbued with that
feeling to such al extent that war
Of races would not be the most sur~
prising occurrence of the day.
Hartford (Conn) Cowant
No, war of races would no. be
surprising to any intelligent thinker,
but it would seal the doom of not
only the negro, but determine his
permanency as an inheritor of the
and Of the South, for ccrtainlymany
of them would own lots Of real estate

OF titles. But it is TO be deplored,
if not avoided The impoverish>
meat Of the South has caused much
Of the landed property, by the outlay
of muscle and sweat, to change pro
prietors, and the colored population
have not only been on an equal foot
log with the whites in the acquire
ment of wealth, but have been equal
Iy as successful. Many of them to
day own fine estates in Georgia, and
are worth from three to five and ten
thousand dollars each, while others
are thriltless, indolent vagabonds
some of them are kept poor by
whisky aud fine clothes, and others
by attending military drills, hunting,
fishing, chicken stealing, house
breaking and getting into the chain
gang, The industrious class have
accumulated property, according to
the State Comptroller's report, to
the taxable value of ST, llG sos,
owning 33S, 80 acres of agricultural
land, and city and town property to
the amount of ST, 200, ll5, This
is evidence that the negro is free
from molostation and oppression, and
that be can safely obtain property
without the necessity of insurrection
and murder Even The old planta
ton of jefferson Davis is now own
ed by rich and prosperous negro
man. Aud if those who are waiting
for the promised forty acres and a
mule, would cease to idle away
their time and cultivate the soil dill
gently, they will find themselves no,
only better and happier, but not dis
posed to question the rightful owns
ership Of the land of this country.
Bus to do SO, they must respect the
rights of others, uphold the law in>

OF peril.
