THE NEGRO IN GEORGIA.
Malicious MISREPRESENTATION Of n Partisan
Politician Exposed.

CARTERsvn.LE, Ga, Sept. IA recent
speech Of the Hon. Amos T. Alderman, late Attor-
ney. General OF the United States, was OF most
in1ammatory character. II was delivered In Car
tersvie on Saturday last, and the impunity
with which such haranguo is spoken to an
audience composed chiefly OF colored mentor
they compose the Republican party here with
the exception OF the ofnce-h olders-is sumcient
refutation to the slanderous charge that freedom
OF speech ia abridged in the South. Mr.. Aker-
m ms labored effort was for the purpose OF
arraying the negro race against the whites In
order to keep them from voting with the Dem
ocrats. If he had addressed an intellgent as
semblage, capable OF informing themselves con-
corning the facts alleged, IT would have still
been most deplorable event, for 1t was in
tended to disturb the existing harmony and
friendliness between the races by exciting their
fears unnecessarily; but to make these false
statements To an Ignorant audience OF sew
read, IL an offence almost unbearable, and an
act which all prudent and conservative men
Akerma an said that Democratic success meant
virtually the Reimbursement OF the negroes (;
that the efforts Of the white people In the South
had Ueen steadily directed toward keeping them
Ignorant and preventing them from becoming
prosperous citizens that the people OF Georgia
were opposed to selling them land that taxation
was as high under Democratic as under Re
publican rule !; and that there was an enormous
emigration Of colored people from GEORGIA,
owing to the expressions heaped on them. Per-
init me to oppose statistical facts to baseless
assertions, prompted by most objectionable
malice. 49,
there are 63,2l3 colored people In Ohio; 65,2ei
In Penn ylvania; l3,g45 10 Massachusetts,; yet In
the Northern States very rarely does u colored
man hold political ONCE, so far as we are able
to ascertain. There are more colOred ONCE
holders In Georgia than In New YORK state. 80
much, then. for tho disinterested friendship OF
Northern Republicans TO "the man and bro
tner." There are Ia Georgia l2l,OVO white voters
and S7,0OO colored voters. Tho whole people
pay IN taxes tl.;UO0cO. OF this amount the coli
ored people pay t26,ed9i2. There are 10000
children OF school age In Georgia, Of whom 100.
900 re children OF conred people. The amount
Of $DOO0J is annually paid to the common
school fund. This money is paid out equally
per scholar to white and black. There Is not a
colOrcd school or church In Georgia to the build
ing Of which the white people have not contrib
uted. on April /, 1875, the coored people owned
398,G53 acres Of liud on the same day they owned
town and city property to the value OF Sl.2U3,a1.
Let that fact answer Mr.. Ake1man's charge that
the people opposed to selling land to negroes.
with regard to taxation being the same under
Democratic as under Republican rule, look at
following exhibits.

We now pay nearly $5OO,000 year as interest

The PoIItic1I Situation.

LOUISIANA sTEADY-wAY THE FLORIDA FIG
UREs ARE NOT GIvEN-HAYEs 1856.
The New York Times, this morning, con-
Guiding it's news summary, says "All our
information continues to point to the sue
cess of the Republican national candidates. ="
The Northern Republicans who are in
Florida send a dispatch to Secretary Ohand
Ter, saving that if the exact majority was
known, the returns from the nine counties
which are still held back might be "doc-
tored" to meet the exigencies of the case,
and while they put no imputation of such a
criminal purpose on any one, they think it
best not to lead Mr.. Tilden's partisans into
temptation. We are, therefore, without
any authentic advices from Florida. The
agent of the Associated Press at Tallahas-
see has failed to send his daily bulletin CIV
ing the State to Tilden, and we regard this
as a favorable omen.
The Returning Board of Louisiana yes
terday ruled OUT the Democratic protests
against its jurisdiction, and began the can
vass of the parish returns. 1t was resolved
to dispose first of those which were not OBJ
jected to. The returns from sAscension,
Assumption. and Avoyelles were gone
through with, the votes being about the
same as those heretofore given from the
duplicate poll lists. They show Republi-
can gain of three members of the Legisla-
ture
